WEBVTT - Realty vs. Reality with Tracy Tutor 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.400 Wind down with Janet Kramer did I'mheart Radio podcast. 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:11.440 Okay, so it's almost this school year. Yet again, I 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.159 feel like summer has flown by. This is a big 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.600 mile year. It is. You. I thought, for some reason, 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.599 since our boys were the same age, they would be 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.880 going to kindergarten. I started him early. You did, which 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.840 is interesting because don't they usually hold boys back. Yeah, 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.240 we did a junior so we do a homeschool co 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.760 op though, two days a week, so I am his teacher. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.280 For the most part. He was really not challenged in 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.280 his junior kindergarten program. But also I think because he 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.320 has an older sister, you know, those older kids just 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:47.159 kind of push you along. So I did put him 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.400 in kinder thought we might have to repeat kinder but 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:50.200 he's going to go to first. 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:51.760 He's going to do first. Yeah, I was wondering of. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.160 And you're still going to do the co op right? 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.240 Yeah? We did. Last year they offered a first second 0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.960 split though grade, so I'm kind of hoping that they 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.040 would do that again. You may kind of do like 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.240 a first and then a first again because there's you guys, 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.920 it's not the same curriculum when we were little like 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.280 they're having to do everything so much earlier now that 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:10.160 I feel like. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.399 Is yours the same curriculum is ours? In probably not. 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.959 No, but a little different just everything. I think in general, 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.240 society has got them like boosted up a bit. Like 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.319 I wasn't reading in kindergarten and now a lot of 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.160 them are reading coming out of kindergarten. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.400 Yeah, I mean, I think that that's different for all 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:29.160 kids for sure. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:29.759 Yeah. 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.360 So, and then Love will be third grade. She'll still 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:33.920 be third I know. Sometimes in the co ops they 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.720 get a little like ahead or not ahead. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.080 Yeah, we stay, we stay, like we just keep we 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.280 keep on rocking. So she'll go to third grade. And again, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.880 like it's up to my preference, you know, like I 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.600 can tailor it, which is great, but it's also tricky 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.000 because Legend is not a reader. He's a strong math guy. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:52.640 And I feel like kids tend to be one or 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:52.960 the other. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:53.680 Absolutely. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.640 How long do you think you'll homeschool it for? I 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.800 don't know. I think for a while. I see it 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.480 in our little world, to our little section of the world, 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.400 with homeschooling, I see a lot of parents move to 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.600 like right around eighth or ninth they start to move 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.440 into public just because I think, like sports and things, 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.080 they just seem to want more. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:17.640 I cannot imagine throwing them into public school in high school. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.880 I can't either, Honestly. That's why I'm like, I don't know, 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.080 because that feels. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.440 I'm not judging it. I'm just saying I can't imagine. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.960 Just like, but actually we had a friend that did that. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.000 I take that back, but it's just seems like that's 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.160 a lot like whoa all at once? 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.760 Yet also we would take out for middle and then 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.760 put in you know what I mean, Like we've kind 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.040 of talked about that one fist. Yeah, I so it's 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.280 almost like I would homeschool middle school for sure. Then 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.720 it's going right back into the gauntlet in there. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.440 I do think though, and I'm sure this is obviously 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.880 not true for a lot a lot of kids, but 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.440 I do think middle school seems to be a little 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:56.000 bit harder, oh than high school. But is that going 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.239 to be make high school kind of that new transition, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.760 you know what I mean? Like, cause it's me, I 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.240 don't know, because transition. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:07.480 My educational capability keeping them home and I don't even yeah, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.960 I don't even know. I mean, I don't have the 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.359 I don't. I don't know where you find the time, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.160 you know what I mean? Like, obviously you find the time, 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:15.720 because that's like I find the time to work out 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.000 every morning, like you know, so we find times. I 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.480 don't know if I have the patience, so maybe it's 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:20.919 not the time. I don't think I have the patience 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.200 to homeschool, yes, which is why I've been like, all right, 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.280 you know, Alan, you know, Mike, can you guys teach 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.160 Julie how to tire shoes or bite? Because I just 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.280 I'm I'm fast to not being patient. Yeah, And also 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.800 like the kids are different, like Love loves to learn 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.480 from me, loves it. Yeah, Legend likes to learn math 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.880 from me, but he doesn't want to talk about reading. Well, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.560 I wouldn't even know how to teach any of that, 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.400 to be honest. Like sometimes I read some of Joey's 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.520 homework and I'm like, wait, okay, wait, what I'm re 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.920 educating my second grade? Like it's weird how much we 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.880 forget or how much you start to second guess yourself. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.240 Well, and they learn differently everybody. Well, but I'm just 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.040 saying now they learn like math, they don't learn the 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.120 way we learn how math. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:05.840 It's new math. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.920 Yeah, it's crazy, And so I'm like, well, I know 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.360 the answer, but if you have to actually like put 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:11.800 out how you got it, I can't help you. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.200 Yeah, it's weird. And also like there's times where I've 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.680 wondered if Legend is actually more of a public school fit, 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.120 because he five years a week feels like it could 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.760 be more comfortable to him. Oh for sure. But I 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.720 also with our lifestyle, love that I can take them 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.760 out and we can go here. I founded a loophole 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.039 you can in public school. So here's the loophole because 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.280 I found this out when Jolie was doing the movie, 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.000 because I was always like, well, I don't want to 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.080 pay for private school because it's expensive, even though you 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.240 can take out you know, whenever you want. But with 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.919 public you can disnroll and re enroll, and it's not 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.160 that complicated at all. It's like a one cheeter. I 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.320 have as many times as you want. Wait, so like 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.800 for a month, yeah, as many times as you want. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.279 So like, for example, Jolie missed fourteen days of school, 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.359 obviously you're not so simis anymore. I think I was 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.680 like eight or whatever. And then you get in trouble. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.320 But most people it's like between that, like twelve and fifteen. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.560 Then that's when they're like, all right, they you have 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.400 a call with the people, the principle or whatever. And 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.480 when I had called just kind of explaining what she 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.279 was doing, she's like, well, if it was any more, 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.400 She's like, we'd probably just have you distan' roll and 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.719 then Rene roll. And I was like, oh, wait, tell 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.599 me more. So then I was like, how many times 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:25.960 can I do that? She's like, as many times as 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.680 you want. She's like people, She's like, we have a 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.719 lot of athlete kids that are in our school district 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.960 that do it a couple times a year. So like 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.919 the state doesn't get involved. Then I mean, if the 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.719 state only gets involved and the kids are not in 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.440 a school system, no, in a safe home, like you 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.080 can just distan' roll and ren roll. I legally have 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.840 to be registered somewhere for school, Like I have an 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.760 umbrella school, I have to read it all. So what you 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.240 would do is you would just they would have to 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.960 be a homeschooling So like she just had her like 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.800 paperwork from like school. This is to say that she's 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.600 still on this grade and doing the homeschooling, so like 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.400 she just gave the teacher like a packet of stuff. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:06.440 They didn't really even check it. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.440 Yeah, so so that's showing that she's doing school. So 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.200 you would have to prove something that's that's like. 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.480 My umbrella, yes, because you can't just like one off 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.360 feeling no, I can't anything. Yeah, but like you would 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.880 never not teach your kids, right, so right, but you 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.440 could still so that you could still do public and 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.400 then just in our district at least, that's what she 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.680 taught me. I was like, because it's one of the 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.120 things that I've always kind of gone okay, but we 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.279 you know, like last year, Preston had a ton of stuff, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.280 like based in Florida for like January, so we just 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.160 like had a house in the neighborhood at the other 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:41.800 half of the duo and we just hunkered for like 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.960 a few weeks because it just kept us all a 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.359 family together. Well, I know plenty of well I know 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.800 specifically a mom whose daughter has missed like more than 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.120 twenty and like she just has a good relationship with 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.600 the principal and the I've heard that too, So it's 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.279 you know, as long as you're communicating with them. It's 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.320 not like you're taking them out for or they're not 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.400 safe in the home. This is and I also just 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.560 understand like the testing and all those things, like they 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.320 really do need the kids in there for attendances blah 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.960 blah blah. But also, yeah, no, they're young. It's the time, right, 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.960 It's okay too. Yeah. Well, also I think at least 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.240 it seems resonating, Like with our school districts around us, 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.640 everyone's more focused on like just family. We have a 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.760 really we live in a really great area for that. Yeah, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.840 where it's like we want families to be together and 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:37.600 experience and right, that's incredible. So that's interesting, good to know. Yeah, 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.600 so you can keep that little tidbit in your pocket. Yeah, 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.360 or when you are ready for love or legend as 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.680 there's been days where I'm like public school five days 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:46.560 a week, I could own the. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.960 World, Like you don't feel like it's just a. 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.240 Weird, Like I think, like what would it be like 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:53.360 if they left in the morning. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.400 Well, think about summer, like when you're pulled like you're 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.800 like that all the time though. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.320 Like summer is the same as like for summer, So 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.560 everything traumatizing for me, My girlfriend and I just had 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.760 this conversation. She was like, oh, the parents go in 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.720 haywire right now, and you guys are like please yeah, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.920 well every day I will say this though, even in 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.040 our world, like there's more structure on school in school 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.440 months and so like even lately, I've been like, Okay, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.400 we need to bring some sort of like rhythm to 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.920 the house because Leggie does really well with structure. Even 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.960 though he didn't, I think everybody does. Yeah. Well, maybe 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:35.160 that's just a types unite hands in on three. I mean, okay, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.600 so then our girl, I know the ages of our kids. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.720 We all rolled together. But then you go, does anybody 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.200 transition to big school like. 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.520 We did all that last year? Okay, that's right, we tried. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.679 We started middle school and in high school last year. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:46.280 Yeah. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:47.320 So you'll bake it. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.840 Yeah, well you're making it. Yeah, I know you'll make it. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:52.560 Don't scare us. 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:53.800 I'm just kidding, of course. Yeah. 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:54.880 Puberty is happening. 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.200 Yeah, I mean it's a lot. It's just yesterday. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:02.800 What's puberty? I know, I said, it's a really precious 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.120 and confusing stage between childhood and adulthood. I didn't know 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:06.480 how to. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.800 I mean, that's honestly I haven't, Like, I don't know, 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.600 puberty hasn't been that bad.

A lot 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.640 of people were you guys. I had to wait, I can't. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.400 I'm going to embarrass myself. Cancer. I was sixteen. Cancel 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.640 what I was gonna say? Canceling? I just got my 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.800 period so late? Well same, I was sixteen. Oh wow, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:55.960 really I was. 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.480 Yeah, I was sick when you were so surprised with 0:11:58.559 --> 0:11:59.640 our kids. Oh okay. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:00.880 I was like, that's normal. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.920 And that's why I asked when did she because I 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:05.440 was so I was such a late bloomer. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:06.360 I was late. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.400 I had been eating like problems and was really thin. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.720 But I mean said, yeah, it's fine. 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.880 Yeah, I mean she's she has been very thin, like 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.199 as a small person, but like not now. I mean 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.800 she's really like kind of filled out. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.440 So I thought it was normal to be that back 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.200 in our age. As later, I thought it was like 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:25.040 fifteen sixteen. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.400 I was the second to last person in all the 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.800 people I knew, and I was middle school, seventh grade. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.400 Yeah, sixth I'm waiting. It's I always wondered if the 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.240 surgery I had in my back had anything to do 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.679 with the delay of the thirteen when they put the 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.040 rods in No, when you had your sixteen Oh yeah, okay, same, 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:42.480 I was for you. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.280 Twelve did you get? But I was like the second 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.080 to last one too, I think it. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.120 I was like nineteen. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.120 The problem is is that I've never really had. 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.800 Never got Boos's why I got. I never got boobs. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.319 I bought boobs. Yeah, but you can tell kind of 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.840 when an idea of when it's going to happen, you know, 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:01.800 based on Joel. 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.120 That's a funny boob conversation. Because we were in Target 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.000 getting some things and she was like, Mommy, can I 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.120 get this? And they were little sports bras with they 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:11.959 were with the padded ones, and I was like, no, honey, 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.440 you can't get those, but we can get these the 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.280 other ones that were just like the regular training bras. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.079 But I was like eight, I know, And I also 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.960 do love them wearing something because we cartwheel and and 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.400 I'm like, yeah, our sports something. Yeah. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.080 I'm always like Amy, don't you want to get a pad? 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.120 She say no, people will know. I'm like, oh, you're 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:28.760 nothing like me. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.959 I remember what I did, to be honest with you all. 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:35.240 I never stuffed. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.000 I know that I didn't like in front of people. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.400 Get home to There was a girl sort of a 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:48.280 visualation visualization, but I won't say which friend. I know, well, no, no, no, 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.360 because they're so sweet. One of my Michigan girlfriends, we 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.960 were to sleepover and we found tissues in one of 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.960 our friends pros bless, I know. But then her brothers 0:13:59.000 --> 0:13:59.880 put them in the freezer. 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.080 So we did that? Did we do that? 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:05.920 I wish I could say his full name, but I won't, 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.360 just in case he turned out to be a really 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.760 good human in Jesus name. But Dan used to say, 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.720 to his last name, that's true, there's only one trillion Dan's. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.960 Dan used to say, I was a carpenter's dream. Flat 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.560 as a board, Oh yeah, that was Bobby was the 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.680 he took. He took the binder and he goes flat 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:30.840 as a board. Yeah, and you're now baby, I'm kidding. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.040 I remember reunion and one of the guys had grown 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.480 like a like literally a foot since high school and 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.000 he was always a tall guy. And he goes, he's like, 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.960 my last name was white, you know, and so he's like, whitey, 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.760 did you see that? Like he's like, look at and 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:45.800 I was like, yeah, I can see, and I go 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.160 and you can probably see from up there that I 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.440 also bloomed late. And I was like, I was so 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.280 proud because I just always wanted can we talk about 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.840 high school re unions really fast? Because well, we have 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.640 our guest is here, so let's I want to pinant 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:59.920 and talk about it after Tracy. We've got Tracy to 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.920 coming on. She is in Million Dollar Listening in Los Angeles. 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:08.360 Season fifteen is premiering already on on Bravo. New episodes 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.680 are on Wednesday. Let's get her on to talk about it. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.920 Hi, guys, Hi, Hey, So. 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.960 I love Million Dollar Listening because I feel like it's 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.680 so I do watch would you call it the competitor 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.800 show or would you call it just a brothers. 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.120 On which show you're talking about? 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.160 The other selling of shows? 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:44.960 Selling Sunset? 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.880 Well, yeah, I didn't want a straight upset, but yeah, Sellie, yeah, 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.480 Tracy well Trace, Tracy, well no, because I like I 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.040 watched Selling Sunset too, But I feel like I watched 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.080 the two shows for different reasons, Like I feel like 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.480 there's more drama on Selling Sunset. I feel like there's 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:04.520 more how and you know listings on your show. Did 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.000 you get asked to go on the other one or 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.040 is a million dollar Like yeah, kind of like what's 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.080 your thoughts on both? 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.360 Our show has been on obviously a lot longer than 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:15.960 Selling Sunset, so I was already attached to million dollar 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.520 listing when Selling Sunset started airing. It's a different show. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:24.360 I wouldn't necessarily say it's a competitive show with us. Again, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.320 for the same reasons you said. I think that show 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:32.640 is more Our show is more living in reality, and 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.720 I think that show is more soapy with a real 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:41.280 estate backdrop. Totally entertaining, but just different. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.080 Yeah, your show motivates me in a different way, Like 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.400 it's very boss style, Like I'm like, oh okay, Like 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.720 I'm digging in and I know I'm learning and I 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.160 really enjoy that. And I also love that. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.720 Yeah, Selling Senset motivates me to make sure stay on 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:56.320 the treadmill. 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.360 Sometimes I watch. 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.040 It on mute, going to lie you look great. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.399 Yeah, I want to learn about houses when I'm watching 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.679 though you know. I mean, I want to actually learn 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.600 about real estate when I'm watching it, and that's what 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:09.240 I love about. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.920 Well, her husband's a realtor here in Nashville. He's helped 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.240 me buy sell all of. 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.680 My Yeah, but then I watched these shows and I'm like, oh, 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.359 this is a completely different level. 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.760 But I love it though, So yeah, it's fun. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.280 Was this something you always dreamed you would do or 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:26.440 kind of always knew you would know? 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.160 I was an actor, Like I went to theater school 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:35.119 at USC I wanted to do Broadway and you know, 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.600 a post college, I was auditioning a lot and kind 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.320 of woke up one day and said, oh my god, 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.520 am I going to just wake up an audition every 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.119 single day for the rest of my life and maybe 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:51.800 be that one percent that hits. I wanted financial independence, 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.000 and so why the heck I picked real estate. But 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.960 it's worked out. It's worked out for me. And really, truly, 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.440 I think the education that I got from studying theater 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.840 for so long and figuring out how to present myself 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.679 and walk into a room and really audition is not 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:12.960 very different from what I have to do when I 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.679 walk into a listing appointment and have to connect with 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.199 a seller or take a buyer through a house. So 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.800 I never connected the two early on, but realized obviously 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.480 later that it was probably one of the best educations 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.680 I could have had walking into, you know, selling real 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:29.600 estate for a living. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.200 Do you feel like being a woman in real estate 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.640 is still different than being a man in real estate? 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.920 Like do you feel like you have the same power 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.320 when you walk into a room with a man? 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.360
