<v Speaker 1>You're listening to I Choose Me with Jenny Girl.

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to I Choose Me. This bonus episode is

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>pure fun, you guys, with the amazing Alison Sweeney, we're

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>going to do a lightning round to inject some joy

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 2>into your day. So let's do this. Okay, Allison, you

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>played a soap opera character who was brilliant, ambitious, slightly ruthless,

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and absolutely iconic. So if Sammy Brady wandered into a

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Hallmark Christmas town, well, I have three choices. Is she

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>taking over the festival planning committee by day three? Is

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>she secretly buying the struggling in or is she falling

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.919
<v Speaker 2>for the man in town who is not impressed by

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>her resume?

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Boy, that's it, there's some good options there. I think

0:00:58.680 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 3>she is.

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I think she's taking over the festival committee. Like right

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 4>from the beginning, she's in charms and it's her way

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 4>or the highway.

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I love that about her.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever accidentally been recognized for a character that

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>you didn't play or even like another celebrity?

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yeah?

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 4>I have been recognized as Reese Witherspoon on more than

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 4>one occasion. Okay, and one time I just took it, like, oh,

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>thank you, I'm so glad you like I just I mean,

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 4>I can't do accents. I wish I could toss in

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of her southern southern thing. I wish

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 4>I could, But I just tried to like minimize the

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 4>and just take the komplument and move along.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Sometimes it's easier to just go along with it.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 4>The other one is because daytime, I think is so

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 4>familiar to people that sometimes I get like did we

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 4>go to high school together?

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Where do I from?

0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 4>And then you find yourself running through your entire happen you,

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 4>like find yourself running through your entire resume trying to

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.639
<v Speaker 4>find you like this one.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, no, no, okay, how about yeah?

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Then I don't I don't know.

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm then you got You're like we never met,

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you don't know me?

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Uh, let's see.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Weirdest place you've been asked for an autograph or a selfie?

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Where's the like the most surprising place?

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Someone's most surprising place was in a woman's bathroom, like

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 4>on my way in, which is like you know you

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 4>there's submergency sometimes.

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Like when you're on your head open.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 4>The stall, like like this is I'm now my brain

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 4>has already committed.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>To what's about to happen, and I'm ready, and.

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 4>It's sometimes desperate for this situation, and and like I can't.

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 4>I cannot, And normally, of course I'm like and then

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 4>you is she gonna wait?

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Now are they listening to me? pH?

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Are they're recording my piece out?

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>That's fun, fun times.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, this is about a little hallmarky too, which

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>is harder to pull off convincingly. A Christmas ball gown

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>in fake snow, or heels while running from danger in

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a mystery movie while it's raining.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 4>The heels running in a mystery movie while it's raining,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 4>because that's actually happened to me. And that's hard to

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 4>do convincingly because then inevitably, once you get to the

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 4>close up, you take the heels off and now you're

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 4>in like comfy shoes and you know, so.

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 3>They have those like cozy boots and stuff.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 4>But then you have to sort of like pretend like

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 4>you're still walking like you were in the Master, you know,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 4>trying to sell that I'm uncomfortable in the shoes.

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 3>It's all that can be tricky.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Rain's hard to work.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 3>In Yeah, the rain.

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 4>And then the thing about working up here in Vancouver

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 4>is they sort of tend to pretend like it's not raining.

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 4>And when you're from Los Angeles, you know, everyone freaks

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 4>out about.

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>No and you're like, hi, guys, I'm getting drenched.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that not a problem?

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Is that a problem? That were like anyone? And they're like, oh, really,

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 3>I hadn't noticed it was raining.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Like oh, going, okay, would you actually like to live

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>in a hallmark town or on Hope's Swinson's Ranch?

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I know they answer to.

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 3>That, Oh yeah, the answers Hope Swinson's Ranch.

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, we both that I would have lived there.

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she everyone wants to live it. And those sources

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:27.600
<v Speaker 4>were adorable.

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 3>Like it was. It was such a great It was like,

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 3>oh my gosh.

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 4>While the movie sort of was talking myself into like

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.039
<v Speaker 4>maybe I really could do this, like maybe we should throw,

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, sell everything and like Bible ranch and.

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 3>Get some horses.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Why didn't you do it?

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm still considering it, you know.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how old are your girls?

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen twenty three and twenty eight? Wow, I know I'm

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>going to it's gonna be hard when one of them

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>goes into the thirties, and then I'm going to be like, wow,

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm old.

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I my son is turning twenty one tomorrow, and

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.559
<v Speaker 4>and I sort of like hadn't really come to terms

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 4>with it until you know, I still haven't.

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Really it's happening, and I'm like, it's a lot. That's

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot to take in.

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, your baby, that was your baby.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, back to Hallmark. You're stranded in a snowstorm in

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>a small town.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Who saves you? Is it A the flannel clad contractor.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Who's absolutely hot, or be the brooding single dad who

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 2>owns his own bakery, or See the mysterious guy restoring

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the inn.

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, I feel like I See might be a similar character,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 4>but I would probably go like see like the suited

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 4>guy who has.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 3>The money to restore it, and A is the contract

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 3>deftly does it right?

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Definitely?

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 3>I think I would have to go with A.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 4>I love I love the flannel you know guy that

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 4>like can work with his hands.

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I believe you.

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're the queen of the Hallmark mysteries, which made

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 2>me think about what would I want my own character

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to do if I had my own mystery? Oh yeah, no,

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I need your help, you executive production.

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 4>So the key is that what we love about them

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 4>is that like it's a regular job that like people

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 4>do and then they and then they happened. So for example,

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 4>my best example of like the clues that as a

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 4>baker solve the mystery was one time when she knew

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.840
<v Speaker 4>the time of death because of the person who had

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 4>died had a pie left in the oven, and so

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Hannah could like kind of off her eye, knew how

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 4>overcooked that the crust was, like it was burnt, but

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 4>not that burnt, so it could only have been like

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 4>forty minutes that that pie was in the oven. And

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 4>I was like, and I just thought that was like

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 4>the quintessential like perfect clue as like for a baker

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 4>to solve.

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, So you want to have a.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 4>Job that you would that seems like totally normal and

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 4>everybody does it, but you use your instinct, like but

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 4>it requires good special skills.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I love that most. Maybe I could be like work

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in a flower shop.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 4>A flower shop, Yeah, you could be a florist.

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 3>You could be we do what about a hairdresser? Do

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 3>you like?

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I like that idea.

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 4>We haven't done hairdresser, and I feel like those they

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 4>get people to talk, or manicurists like they get people that.

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>People spill the tea all the time.

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, totally, what is that.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they do that.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I find myself doing it too. I think it's like

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>the awkward not with a manicurist, but like definitely with

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>hair people.

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I hair people, people who do your hair.

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm always I find myself talking to them about

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>really intimate or deep things when Yeah, why, I don't.

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Know, I don't. I mean they're close to you for

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 3>a long time and.

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>You're just sitting there.

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Also there's something about them petting her hair, like yeah,

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>it's very soothing and comforting.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's why.

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Makeup artists too though, And they're right in your face,

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 4>like your face in their face are like right here.

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 4>So you tell you you find yourself telling them everything too,

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 4>every So that could be fun because I feel like

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 4>that's a good special skill to have, is you get

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 4>people to tell you things. So I always have the

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 4>thing with the baking that I bring people cookies and

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 4>it gets them to open up to me and tell me.

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 4>Steph And we had one we had one scene where

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.360

<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this is a little bit of a Lightning

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>round Hallmark edition. Okay, So do you prefer to act

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay?

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.280

<v Speaker 2>like seventeen takes one take? What you're a one take wonder?

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm a one taker yeah, I mean just from the

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 4>soap background.

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, but this is lightning, so I won't. I won't

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 3>fill out the answer. That's okay.

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Easier to work with a baby or an animal. That's

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>a tricky.

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 3>One animal animal. Yeah, but barely.

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean that's a that's that's hard.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 3>That's hard. It's all hard.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>One last one, what do what do you prefer hot

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>cocoa or champagne?

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 4>Is this in real life?

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm just like in the in the Hallmark movie

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>to culminate the sort of happy ending.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, hot cocoa, because fake champagne tastes terrible.

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 3>I can't, I can't.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like sparkly watered down apple juice.

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Real, Yeah, it's terrible.

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>So okay, let's just sort of bring it back to

0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>our original conversation as we end. This is a bonus

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I choose me moment. What was one career choice that

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.160
<v Speaker 2>felt scary to you but it turned out to be

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the right move and the end.

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, the actual literal answer of that is when I

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 4>agreed to be on the celebrity edition of Fear Factor.

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh that was scary and I knew it was scary.

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Wait what did you have to do?

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh? It was pretty scary.

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 4>The cool thing was the fun one was hanging outside

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 4>a building in downtown LA.

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 3>We were on like the fortieth story.

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 4>Outside the window, they removed like the panels like this,

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 4>and you had to crawl around the edging of the

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 4>building from one around the turn of the corner.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you afraid of heights?

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not afraid of heights?

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 4>And I sort of, like, as an actor, knew like

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 4>they can't kill me, you know for sure? Yeah, I

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 4>was like in a suit. I actually sort of thought

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 4>if I fall, like, that's cool. Too, So I wasn't

0:10:58.559 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 4>really afraid of that one at all.

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 3>It just it was really hard.

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.079
<v Speaker 4>And then the really horrible one was they did tell

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 4>us they wouldn't like they did have like certain agreements

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 4>with the celebrities, but then it turned out not to

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 4>be a blessing because I was in a coffin with

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 4>snakes and worms and then they poured madagascar hissing cockroaches

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 4>around my face. So anyone who hasn't seen it, feel

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 4>free to google this on YouTube. But like there's a

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 4>video of me like my head, I have these goggles

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 4>on and then I'm in like a kind of a

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 4>coffiny type situation.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all these cockroaches.

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 4>All around my face, and it was very upsetting and

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 4>alarming and and anyway, but kind of like it turned out. Ironically,

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 4>it's one of the first NBC shows that got expanded

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 4>to ninety minutes. You remember they used to do the

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 4>like super sized episodes.

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't remember those.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 4>And so me frea out about that thing turned out

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 4>to be like a reason they extended it to ninety minutes.

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 4>And then I kind of got in like good with

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 4>the NBC executives at the time because.

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.679
<v Speaker 3>Of what had all gone on there.

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 4>It's a longer story than this, but it ended up

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 4>leading to lots of more opportunities for me in the

0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.560
<v Speaker 4>reality TV space, and probably, like you would have to

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 4>follow the logic a little bit, but probably how I

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 4>ended up getting to host the Biggest sizzor yeah, yeah,

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 4>that's that's incredible.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Little Yeah, that's a decision that you wouldn't think would

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>get you.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 4>No, you would not guess that, but also that would

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 4>be Then now back to your very first question is

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 4>what advice would I give to my.

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Twelve year old girl self but.

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Also to people in general, is to say yes to adventure,

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 4>take a chance.

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 3>You don't know.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't progress or like career is not necessarily a

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 4>linear ladder that you climb, it's this like loopy.

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 3>It could be anything.

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 4>You have no idea and you don't know if you

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 4>don't try.

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 3>And so you got to take chances.

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I love that you've been such a good sport. I

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 2>love I love hanging out with you. Thank you for

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:04.840
