0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>bouncing around mister Christmas all. I don't know, I just

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of like it's sort of annoying.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 2>like it's it's not you know, I'm a bit of

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a parody with that.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever break into song while filming a Christmas

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 1>movie or what is your favorite Christmas song?

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>My favorite Christmas song is Felice Novedad. I can't stop

<v Speaker 2>singing and I think it's so catchy. She yeah, it's

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 2>so fun. It's so so fun. But I have a

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>soft spot in my heart for Oh Come only Faithful

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>because my mom was convinced, for some reason that I

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>never knew why, that that was my favorite Christmas carol.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>So whenever it came on, my mom was like, Cameron, oh,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>come on, and I was always like yeah, Mom, like

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 2>what are we doing? Like it was always very confusing,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 2>but I went along with it because she was convinced

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>it was my favorite, So now it's my favorite.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:51.280

<v Speaker 1>Those are good.

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>They were really good.

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I need some posting for the vegans.

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all of that stuff I ma is not vegan.

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>No, you're like way protein you eat that.

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I do eat weeg protein, but it's a it's a

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a very good way protein.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask your protein.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>But I also eat pee protein.

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>You don't eat dairy, do you?

0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I et a little bit of dairy.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 1>It's okay for you.

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Greek yogurt does all right for me. But I do

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>only have like I don't have like milk and cheese

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. I'll have some goat cheese.

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>These goat cheese dairy.

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, it just it has a difference. It's not as

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.559
<v Speaker 2>inflammatory as cow dairy.

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, But why can they call it dairy if it's

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>from a goat.

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I can't answer that. You're right because it's a dairy cow. Yeah,

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>it's not a dairy goat.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So I eat goat cheese and don't feel bad because

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>goats love giving you their milk.

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, it's not. I guess technically I gotta do

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>some on that, like being recorded. How I answer this,

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be careful.

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, who were the ugliest Christmas costumes? Seriously? Do you

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>always like your Christmas movie wardrobe?

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Do I always like it? Definitely? Not for sure?

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the turtlenecks have you worn in

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Christmas movie?

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Can I be honest? I don't mind a good turtleneck.

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>You know what I think I'm seeing you intlens.

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind a good turtle neck. Not everybody agrees

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>with me, like, I definitely got some. I got some

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>flak for wearing some of my turtle necks, but I

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>like them. I like a big sort of question. And really,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the things that I don't necessarily jive with with wardrobe

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>or often you know, ill fitting things, things that are

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 2>just kind of you know, boxy, or don't look like

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>it's just not like what I would wear. And I

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>love what I play like an outdoorsy kind of guy

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>because then you're wearing like sweaters and coats and like

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, jeans and boots and that that's kind of

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>more my vibe versus you know, being proper and suits

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and dress and like dress shirts and tucked in like

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 2>tucked in dress shirts into your jeans is not my

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>like mine.

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You're not talked in. I always like, I think about

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you going into your wardrobe fitting is not in a

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>weird way that sounded crazy, but like I think about

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>what it must be like for a man to go

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>into a room full of women, usually or gay men

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 1>usually just generally, and they are like Cameron's coming in

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>at one thirty, everybody get excited.

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I have to say that I make sure that everybody's

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 2>because I want those things to be quick. I do

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 2>not want to leave and go into the other room

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>and change and come back. I'm like, listen, you guys

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with what change right here?

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>And usually are they like I'm really not comfortable.

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>They've never said that. They've always said that they were comfortable,

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and I change right. I mean, I don't care, Like

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, everybody's seen everything on me anyway, Like I'm like, well, yeah,

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I have my underwear on, but.

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I have no problem just getting maked in

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>front of strangers either.

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like we've been through it.

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's wrong with us.

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Yeah, there probably is. I have no

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 2>blinds on my windows that like, you know, like I'm like, oh,

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 2>like it is what it is man, you know, like

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I just let my Instagram like it's all air.

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Have a good look. I love it. Okay, if you

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>were a Christmas decoration, would you Oh, I'm gonna ask

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>myself this question. If Cameron were a Christmas decoration, would

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>he be a candy cone, a snow globe, or a nutcracker?

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.079
<v Speaker 1>What do you think I'm gonna say.

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I think you're going to probably say a snow globe.

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, you're so wrong.

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>A nutcracker.

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>You're definitely a nutcracker, am I. I look at you

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and I see nutcracker?

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 2>You do? Can you elaborate? Like? How how how do we? Hell?

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the stature?

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Of the nutcracker?

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I see it.

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you like you if I put something

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>in your hole. This is getting me, like you crack it,

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You'll crack it.

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Got you. I love how you said hole and you

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>pointed in my chest, like.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>There's no hole. The nutcracker puts it there, doesn't it?

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he does?

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Or does it put it between his neat?

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>That's true. But here's the so I guess I went

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 2>a different direction with nutcracker. I just thought about like

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>cracking nuts. But I guess you're right, like the nutcrackers

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.319
<v Speaker 2>like a soldier. I see what you're saying. See what

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I just saw, like snowglobe because you shake me up

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 2>and I'm happy, and I like I try to, like,

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like I bounce around life like a

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of a snow glow.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Me too, I feel that way too. And Linda, when

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the snow gets.

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Shaky, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like, dude, you gotta go

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 2>to class meditat and it's just like, yeah.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a good feeling. Okay. Funniest blooper moment while filming

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>a holiday scene. I'm the worst at answering questions.

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Like this, by the way, the funniest out of all. Gosh,

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a tricky one. Terrible at like, yeah, remembering those

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 2>because we have lots of them.

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>We have talked all the day long.

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>All day long, but then you got to think of

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>them like it's almost like you gotta make notes, like

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 2>when it happens, you were right down to put it

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 2>into like a note file on your phone.

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Funny thing happened today, Leoh, you're right, I need to

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 1>do that. We're just like even a voice memo to yourself.

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh wait. There was a behind the scenes moment on

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 2>our very first Christmas movie where we had like a

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>leg off, like we showed each other have a there's

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>a photo of us standing next to each other.

0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Our legs and we have our pants pulled down.

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes we do. And and you won that. Like I

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>was like, man, I gotta get I gotta do more

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>squats and legs that area. Yeah, you're fit, like they

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 2>look great. I was like, I get my now. I

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>had leg day this morning. I was crushing squats this morning.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Good for you. And and you chase the dog down

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Silver Lake Boulevard.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Or whatever, muscle and my flip flops cramps like holding

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 2>him on as you that's not easy to do. I can.

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I can kind of imagine it.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Actually, it was definitely people if they had their phones.

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>It was a comedy routine. I didn't feel like that.

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I pray to see someone capture that and puts it

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>up for you.

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 2>And also I didn't handle it like I was. Like,

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.439
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't grace under pressure like I was. You know

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, you were panicky if he got run over. Yes,

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 2>so people like in case someone, Yeah, my dog ran

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 2>down the street and he's one hundred pund my dog,

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 2>my foster and he literally looked like he was on

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 2>the mission to go eat humans. Like that's what it

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>looked like. He's like, I'm coming to eat you. And

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I was nervous that I was.

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Really okay, if I saw your dog coming, your foster

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>dog coming at me, I would lay down and pee

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>my pants just right there on the ground.

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 2>You'd lay down first, then pe yep, I'd just be

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>like and he would love it. He'd come and like

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>probably he's very friendly. He just looks like he's a monster.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 2>I call him a monster.

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>He's like a big monster.

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>He's a huge monster.

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I love it so much. Okay, so while we're in

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the rapid fire Q and A, we're empty nesters. Yes,

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>well you're really an empty nester.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not.

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>My middle daughter moved back in with me. But we

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 1>don't have to think about our kids or what they

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>want all the time. I mean we do, but on

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis, our lives are a lot different. So

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>would you choose if you had to choose between set

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>sweet and savory a snack that you would have, what

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 1>would you choose? Like, do you ever sit down? Do you,

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Cameron Matheson ever sit down with a bag of Fritos?

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Not Fridos. That's not gonna be my thing. It wouldn't

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>be free doos. It would be like just regular salted,

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 2>good quality chips that have like avocada oil or you know,

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>like you know, so I'll.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Have this is me right now, Sorry, but I'll.

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Have like a bag of chips, but as healthy as

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 2>you can get them. Even though chips aren't great never.

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Never anything bad goes in you.

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, that's not great. I had a huge, like

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 2>bucket of movie popcorn yesterday on my birthday. You did, Yeah,

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I watched Weapons with my son and I popcorn, and

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I had a little bag or a box of peanut

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 2>m and ms.

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, yeah with that.

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>This is how my this I had. Also, I had

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.600
<v Speaker 2>chicken skewers with it because it was an ipech so

0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 2>I needed to balance them with some protein, which, by

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the way, I mean it's just stupid, but it just

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 2>made me feel better.

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I love that you go to a movie theater where

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you can get chicken skewers.

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, like the rest of America, LA, but there's

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a place called IPIC that serves you food in the theater.

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 2>And it was my birthday. We wanted to like kind

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 2>of you know.

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a special occasion. Yeah, okay, good, I'm glad. I

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just I was like, I don't think he sits down

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and eats.

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Peano and M and m's and a big vat with butter,

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 2>with butter, with butter.

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Real butter or fake butter? Like what do you know?

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 2>What do use that?

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I I don't it tasted like real butter, but I

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>mean you haven't had butter in a while, that's true.

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Anything probably put on there real butter. Oh my god,

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I need to see that. That's so good because I

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>just couldn't imagine it. Okay, city or small town vacation.

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I know who you're going to go with this, because

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>where do you go next? Like, what's your vacation?

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Small town? I mean I'm going to help my daughter

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 2>small tow. I took my kids to Oregon and it's

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.800

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have survivor guilt. I had it really strongly

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>when it was all going down. But it's it's like

0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>being someone who didn't lose their house, or someone who

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't live here and has no idea what it's like.

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>What should someone a friend say to someone that's in

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>your position who's lost their house? How should I like,

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Because I don't want to make you think about bad things,

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>but you know, like what's the protocol.

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a very sweet question because I think even the

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>fact that you're asking the question is like, you know,

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>all people need to kind of feel and hear, like

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you know that the lost thing. So, first of all,

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I can't really speak for everybody that

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 2>lost their homes in the fire, but like, I'm so

0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 2>happy when I see a house standing when I drive

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>through my neighborhood. My neighbor saved his house. I've never

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>mentioned this, going to my pool and filling up, took

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 2>my ladder that was in my backyard, thank goodness, it

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>wasn't in my in my shad or whatever. Took my ladder,

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>put it outside, and you bucket by bucket from my

0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 2>pool and put out the fire on his house. All

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>night as the area of different areas sparked up as

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.440
<v Speaker 2>houses were I love that. I love when I see

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 2>houses stay in and survive and like the originals, like

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 2>this is a beautiful, beautiful, thank thank goodness. So first

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.119
<v Speaker 2>of all, we say that, like I say that, and

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure others do too, like for people that have

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 2>survivor guilt, like I love that these houses survive, like

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 2>thank God, that's like some of these beautiful homes survived.

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 2>But that also I'll only say, like, what's a little

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 2>tricky to hear when people say when they find out

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 2>that that you lost your house, Like and I say

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.479
<v Speaker 2>this with gentleness and understanding that it's tough to know

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 2>exactly what to say. But when people say things like, well,

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 2>thank goodness, you're all right, you know, like, well think

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 2>you know you're gonna renovate. What do you like when they,

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 2>of course, thank goodness that we're okay, then we survived.

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it minimized, like it minimizes the fact that

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 2>well we've talked about this, but that we lost everything.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Every single piece of our evidence of existence was gone,

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.919
<v Speaker 2>and you know, and that's a big deal. And of

0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.439
<v Speaker 2>course we're grateful. There's lots to be grateful for, but

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 2>we don't need to be reminded of that in that moment,

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, Like in that moment, it's just like, hey man,

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry I for you're lost. That's all. That's

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.120
<v Speaker 2>just like a nice simple thing. You know, if it's

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.239
<v Speaker 2>authentic to people to say that, I would say that

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 2>that's just something simple like that is all we need

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to hear, Like you don't need to fix it. You

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>don't need to tell us what we should be grateful for.

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:38.399
<v Speaker 2>We don't need to tell us that we should be

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>happy that we survived it, because we know that for sure.

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I hope we all know it. And also to remember

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.239
<v Speaker 2>that everybody has a different relationship with their home. Like

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:56.120
<v Speaker 2>people rent. People have stuff at their mom's house in Kansas,

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 2>oh in storage or in storage or maybe it's their

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 2>second out whatever, like every you know, people house flip

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and they don't have a lot of attachment, and they

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>sell their furniture when they move places like everybody, or

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 2>some people have lived there their whole lives and their

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>children have grown up there and they don't know anything else,

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and every single piece of their possessions we're in that house.

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>And some people renovated every corner and picked tiles and

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 2>spent years making the house exactly what it was and

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 2>meaningful to them and their kids. Said four days before

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:37.119
<v Speaker 2>it burned down, Layla said, I want to raise my

0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 2>kids in this house. So it's like, you know, it's different,

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's like people don't know that, but you don't know,

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't know, and so people can be kind of

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 2>short and assume because their relationship with where they live

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.119
<v Speaker 2>feels different to them than yours does with you. And

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>that's okay, but I don't know. I would gently say

0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 2>to try to be sensitive to know that you.

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, are you going to rebuild?

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.679
<v Speaker 2>The plan is to try to rebuild. Yeah, that's the plan.

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of challenges with that. And one of

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.640
<v Speaker 2>our unique challenges is obviously Vanessa owns half the house,

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>and so half the insurance money is she deserves goes

0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 2>to her, and so that leaves half of everything and

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 2>the insurance. Doesn't you know, we're already losing between one

0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and two million on the insurance and the rebuild, the

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>value and stuff. So that's a lot of money already,

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 2>and then half of it goes to her. So it's

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 2>like there's things to big things to consider it.

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 1>But then who would stay there? Who would live in

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the house that you rebuild?

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess in theory I would, and the

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>kids would spend half of their summers there or whatever.

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I have an idea for you. Make your man cave,

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>your house, that's your main house, right exactly the way

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you want it, Okay, just for you. I love Jim,

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>your kitchen goes like all the things your scale that

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>gives you your body index. I know you have one

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:05.159
<v Speaker 1>of those. I do, and then do do two little

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>cottages like if you you know, small guest housey little

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 1>thing for the kids when they come home.

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that's amazing.

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I like this idea.

0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:15.440
<v Speaker 2>I like this idea a lot.

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for you. I'm so excited for you. What's

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>what's happening because after this kind of you know, time

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.560
<v Speaker 1>in your life when everything falls apart, you got nowhere

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to go but back up and put the pieces back together,

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and you get to do it however you want.

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>That that's so exciting, it really is.

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for coming on over, and thank you for.

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.200
<v Speaker 2>All the beautiful things you said, like it really means

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.720
