1
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone. Our conversation with Michelle Obama continues. I

2
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: think your point about the fear, you know, it's so

3
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: human to not want your children to hurt. And it's interesting,

4
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: I've never talked about this, but you're illuminating something for

5
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: me that in my adulthood, my mom and I have

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: been healing because my mom went through a really you know,

7
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: my mom did not grow up the way I did.

8
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: She did not have, you know, the life that I did.

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: She went through you know, immigration with her own mother,

10
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: the classic beautiful Elis Island story, but the reality was hard,

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: and you know, she lived in a housing project in

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: the Bronx and sometimes had nothing to eat but a

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: piece of bread and salt that she would make into

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a sandwich. And my mom had such fear about me

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: suffering the way she suffered, that there were ways she

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: tried to protect me. And it took a while for

17
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: us to come back around, for her to not understand

18
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: why I was doubting myself in this really important moment,

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: and for us to unpack that.

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: I knew she.

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Loved me, but I didn't always think she trusted me. Yeah,

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: And so I hadn't really learned how to trust myself.

23
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: And in that moment, we had this breakthrough as two women,

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: and I learned about these things that happened in her

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: childhood that she had shame about, that she never wanted

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: to tell me about because she never wanted me to

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: be scared that it would happen to us, because come

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: hell or high water, she wouldn't let it. And it

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: was this moment where she saw me as more human,

30
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: I saw her as more human, and we both were like,

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: whoa you know? And then what will the next generation

32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: of children have? Because we have these tools? And I

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: think there's such beauty in your willingness to share it

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: in the stories you've told us, in the books, in

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: the stories you're telling right now. Can I ask you

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: a bit of a humorous question, only because I am

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: now lucky enough to not only love the best person

38
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: in the world, but the best person in the world

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: came with the two best kids.

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: In the world.

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: And like Toddler, math is crazy, you know, And there

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: are moments where I'm like, how.

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: Do I I am an actor?

44
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: I can make up a story, right, Like, how do

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: I tell a story that is going to get this

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: child to survive or sleep through the night or whatever.

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: So if you don't mind me asking now that they're

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: grown ish, like, what's the craziest lie or tall tale

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: you and Barack had to tell your kids to get

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: them to do something when they were little.

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, that is a great question.

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: So like, I don't know if there was a monster

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: under the bed.

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: You know. Again, some of the you know, Robinson wisdom

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: was that our parents talk to us pretty straight about things.

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: My kids will tell you I am a notorious lecturer.

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Right.

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: Sometimes they'd be like, oh my god, I'm in trouble,

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: and we would it's a sit down and you have

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: a conversation about what happened, you know. So a bedtime

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: conversation would be first of all, you have to sleep

62
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: in your bed because you can't sleep with me forever,

63
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: and none of us get any sleep, so we all

64
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: have to go to sleep. You're right down the hall.

65
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: I know you're going to be scared, but guess what

66
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: you can get through. I mean, these are the kind

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: of conversation. So I didn't tend to tell a tale.

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: I actually talked about why it was important. And my

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: mom always says this. Sometimes we don't give our kids

70
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: credit for just really being able to hear the truth

71
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: that you know, and because sometimes that takes time, you know,

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: there was often that because I said so for sure,

73
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 3: But I tended to try to explain why do we

74
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: have to eat vegetables? I mean, you really do neat

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: fiber and roffage, and you don't like it because your

76
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: taste buds haven't, but you have to take a couple

77
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: of bites. You have to eat some of it, and

78
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: you're gonna sit there until you do. And I'm going

79
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: to try to make vegetables that you like. But part

80
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: of dinner is the vegetable and if you don't eat

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: the vegetable, you don't get the dessert. And then sticking

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: with it. So I tended to, you know, as my

83
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: kids would say, we would have conversations about everything because

84
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: I just assume that I really explained it. I gave

85
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: my kids credit for being bright, not brighter than most,

86
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: but I think all kids are really smart, and I

87
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: think that they can understand explain it at their age,

88
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: their terms, their what have you, their their way of

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: seeing the world. You know your kid better than anyone.

90
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: You know what they know, You know how to talk

91
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: to them. And I always felt Barack and I always

92
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: felt like we could talk to the girls and just

93
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 3: explain the bigger picture because I think if they I

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 3: always felt like if they understood the context, then at

95
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: least they could work with all the information. You know,

96
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: I love that, So I tended not to make up

97
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: too much stuff. But I'm sure there's something that I'm

98
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: just not remembering. Well, I'll have to check with Malia

99
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: and Sasha and get back to you on Oh.

100
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear if they if they have

101
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: any stories. Well, and now that you know, as you mentioned,

102
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: they're in LA, they're out having careers in the world.

103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: It must be so incredible to watch, you know, as

104
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: a mom these adults they have grown into. And I

105
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: also bet being an empty nester is kind of because like,

106
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: you get to do whatever you want.

107
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: What is your nine to five? Who are you going

108
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: to cocktails with?

109
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Like I want to know what your life and your

110
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: social life looks like right now?

111
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: Man, it is whatever I want, Sophia, It's whatever I want.

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 3: It's the f I love it for you in my

113
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: life that all of my choices are for me. But

114
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: it's also a little scary because as a mom and

115
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: a busy person I always had. It was somebody else's excuse.

116
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: Why didn't I do this? Why haven't I gone there? Well,

117
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: I have to make sure the girls are okay, or

118
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: my husband's president, so I can't. I can't do that.

119
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: That's a good get out of jail free card. I'm

120
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: so sorry, I can't come. I'm married to the president.

121
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like so, so now you know, I can't

122
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 3: blame my decisions and indecisions on anyone other than me.

123
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: And I don't know about a lot of your listeners,

124
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: but as a woman, I think if I'm honest with myself,

125
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: I could have made a lot of these decisions years ago.

126
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: But I didn't give myself that freedom, you know, I

127
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: you know, maybe I maybe even as much as I

128
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: let my kids live their own lives, I use their

129
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: lives as an excuse for why I couldn't do something.

130
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: And now that's gone, and so now I have to

131
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: look at my I get to look at my calendar,

132
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: which I did this year was a real big example

133
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: of me myself looking at something that I was supposed

134
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: to do, you know, without naming names, and I chose

135
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: to do what was best for me, not what I

136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: had to do, not what I thought other people wanted

137
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: me to do. And between you and me, that was

138
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: an important test for me just as a woman, as

139
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 3: an independent person, because like all women on all a

140
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: lot of people, I operate from guilt. What should I do?

141
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: What is the best thing for everybody else? Right? Because

142
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: it's easier for me to say, well, I did this

143
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: because it was what I was supposed to do. Right.

144
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll be back in just a minute. But here's

145
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: a word from our sponsors.

146
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: My therapist gave me this trick that has really illuminated

147
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: this for me because we were talking about stress and

148
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: busy and this and that, and I said, you know,

149
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: and I need to do this and I need to

150
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: do that.

151
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: And he said, stop saying.

152
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Need to What do you want to do? What do

153
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: you do that you want to do? And how many

154
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: things that you actually want to do? Do you tell

155
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: yourself you need to do so you guilt yourself into

156
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: doing them on time? And that was like a woe

157
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, yeah, is tennis one of your wants

158
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: to dos on your calendar.

159
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: Is an absolute want to do? Because first I don't

160
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: want to do cardio and you know I have just

161
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: realized I don't like just straight cardio, but I love

162
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: learning how to do something else right, and I love

163
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: getting cardio. I'm trying to figure out how to hit

164
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 3: a two handed backhand with top spin. Right. The time

165
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: goes by, right, and before you know it, I've sweated

166
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: for ninety minutes and I've had to unpack something, and

167
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: I've been able to take my mind off of everything

168
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: else other than watch that ball. Watch the ball, hit

169
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: it low, swing up, finish your swing state facing sideways.

170
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I just find that to be a bit meditative. Right,

171
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: So tennis is look right now, this podcast, I amo

172
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: is what I want to do. It's not what I

173
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: have to do, It's what I want to do. And

174
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: I think a lot of this also has to do

175
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: with me losing my mom this year, right, and they

176
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: is just she was our last elder, right, and now

177
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: we're it and me and Craig, my brother, are looking

178
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: at each other like, oh okay, we ready for this.

179
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: But I feel like it's time for me to make

180
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: some big girl decisions about my life and to own

181
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: it fully, right, because if not now, when what am

182
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: I waiting for? What am I going to spend the

183
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: next twenty years, you know, because look the you know,

184
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: the summers are. We're in summer countdown at sixty one, right,

185
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: it's not so tragic, you know if something happens to

186
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: you and you're eighty, right, So you know, now is

187
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: the time for me to start asking myself these hard

188
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: questions of who do I want? Who do I truly

189
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: want to be every day? And that changes? So who

190
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: do I want to have a lunch with? How long

191
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: do I want to stay in a place? Do I

192
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: want to travel? If a girlfriend calls and says let's

193
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: go here, I can say yes, I can't. And I'm

194
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: trying to do that more and more. So what does

195
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: it look like? It looks like whatever I want it

196
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 3: to look like. And I still find time to you know,

197
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: give speeches, to be out there in the world, to

198
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: work on projects. I still care about girls' education. We

199
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: you know, the library is opening in a year from now.

200
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: Certain things I am and am not doing with the library.

201
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: But the interesting thing is that when I say no,

202
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: for the most part, people are like, I get it,

203
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: and I'm okay, right, And that's the thing that we

204
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: as women, I think we struggle with, like disappointing people. Yeah,

205
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: you know, I mean so much so that this year

206
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: people were you know, they couldn't even fathom that I

207
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: was making a choice for myself. That they had to

208
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: assume that my husband and I are divorcing, you know,

209
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: that this couldn't be a grown woman just making a

210
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: set of decisions herself, right right. But that's what that's

211
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: what society does to us. We start actually finally like going,

212
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 3: what am I? What am I doing? You know, what

213
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: am I doing this for? And if it doesn't fit

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: into the sort of stereotype of what people think we

215
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: should do, then it gets labeled as something negative and horrible.

216
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's always got to be drama if it

217
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: doesn't look like other people's choices.

218
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

219
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: And I think for you, really, for both of you

220
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: as a as a you know, viewer from the outside,

221
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: but a person who's been honored to know you for

222
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: a long time.

223
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: I'm just like, God, look at them being happy. I

224
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: love this. You're back and forth to Hawaii. Please let my.

225
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Life be so dramatic on my sixty first birthday. Can

226
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: I just tell you, speaking of life choices and the

227
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: irony is you reminded me of my own. You are

228
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: telling so many amazing stories. You're producing so much beautiful content.

229
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: The books are gorgeous. I can't wait to come to

230
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: the library. I will sob you know this about a

231
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: week and you will be like, it's not even your

232
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: library came down, But I will cry. But one of

233
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: the things that has tickled me and touched me so

234
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: immensely in the last year is one of your many projects.

235
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: It's The Later Daters. I have sobbed every episode. And

236
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. It's because it takes what

237
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: we should do and gives us what we could do.

238
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: It is a story turning love on its head. And

239
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: I did the thing that we do as women, and

240
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: I did everything I was supposed to do for everybody else.

241
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: And I did the checklist that Steve Harvey told me

242
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: to make, and I showed up and I did the coaching,

243
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: and I did the classes, and I did the therapy,

244
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: and I built the life. And I got to the

245
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: end of the list and I was like, I am

246
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: so sad and miserable. I am going to exit my

247
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: own life stage left and I'm going to start over.

248
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: And I was like, can I do this at forty Yeah?

249
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: And then you're out here making the show about people

250
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: in their elder years finding love.

251
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 2: And I was like, we can do it anytime.

252
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: Man, How fly are these people?

253
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: I mean they're amazing.

254
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: They are just you know, and full of confidence, especially

255
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: the women.

256
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: Yes, what made you want to do this?

257
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: Well? You know higher ground our production company, you know,

258
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: we are all things. You know, that's the whole point

259
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: of storytelling is embracing all types of storytelling, not just

260
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: sort of the tear jerker, serious kind of documentary things,

261
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: which are very important. We've done some amazing stuff in

262
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: that category. But it's about touching everyone in every way.

263
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: And unscripted programming is it's an important genre now. Reality

264
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: TV is a part of life, and I'm a fan

265
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: of reality TV, and so it was very important for

266
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: our company to reflect not just my husband's taste, but

267
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: mine as well. But I said to our team, but

268
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: there's a way that I want to do it. You know,

269
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: it's got to be about learning, it's got to be

270
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: about that adding value. And at my age, my friends

271
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: who are not married, they are the later daters. And

272
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: we spent a lot of time sitting around talking about

273
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: how do you get back out there? What do you do?

274
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: You know, and so I'm just so pleased with the

275
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: production team. We worked with the folks who create Love

276
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: on the Spectrum and another Netflix unscripted show, and it's

277
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: one of my favorites, that Queer So when I talked

278
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: on my team about the kind of unscripted stuff that

279
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: I love, you know, I wanted to walk away crying

280
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: and feeling whole. Right. I talked about Queer Eye, you know,

281
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: that was those were the models I talked about Love

282
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 3: on the Spectrum, and I think that our team, you know,

283
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: delivered with later daters. And it's such a fun show

284
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: for everyone to watch. I mean, I've sat around watching

285
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: it with my girlfriends. I've sat around watching it with

286
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: my girlfriends and their daughters and they're just it just

287
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: sparks the kind of conversation and it reminds us that

288
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: life goes on. We are we in our fifties and sixties,

289
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: plus we are entering our best years, and I want

290
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: women in particular to embrace that part of themselves. So

291
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm very excited. We're hoping that Netflix will renew it.

292
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: You know, we're in conversations now for what a second

293
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: season is. So I will tell all the listeners let

294
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: Netflix know if you like it. It's up to them

295
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: to whether we do a second seases.

296
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: So okay, let's get the people listening to the podcast

297
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: posting about this. That's a good side of social media. Yes,

298
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: and now a word from our sponsors that I really

299
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: enjoy and I think you will too. This is a

300
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: perfect segue into a few rapid fires. I want to

301
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: ask you what is it? Can be a guilty pleasure

302
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: or just a pleasurable TV show? Is it reality?

303
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh? Oftentimes it is reality, you know, because when I

304
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: go to TV, I just want to turn off. I

305
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 3: am a you know, well, white Lotus is not reality,

306
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: but I am a White Lotus er. I am a

307
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: real housewives person. I love the dating shows, you know. Okay,

308
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: I don't agree with them all, but you know I

309
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 3: love to watch. My kids will have me watching the girls.

310
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: What's the one where they're all on it in a

00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: if I'm doing a speech or I need a pick

366
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: me up, I literally take a sip of a diet

00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 3: doctor pepper or a diet coke. I can't drink a

368
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: whole one, so I don't need caffeine or sugar that much.

369
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: I don't find that I drag in the morning, you know,

370
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: So I drink tea because it's I put honey in it,

371
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: and it's like it's a little okay.

372
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: That's that that you don't need coffee in the morning.

373
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: That's that Robinson motivation, early alarm clock training. She's got

374
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: it up. What is your go to cocktail or? Is

00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: it a glass of wine?

376
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 3: Oh, vodka? Martini? Dry, straight up olives all very cold,

377
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: very girl barely any vermouth. I love very dry. He

378
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: introduced me to that drink. I didn't drink drinks until

379
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: I started dating him, and then he dated or ordered

380
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: a martini in one of our first dates, and I thought, ooh,

381
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 3: so fancicated. He's a man about town.

382
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: Martini is also such a sexy date drink.

383
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: It is, and it's so clean, and I love the glass.

384
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 3: And olives aren't bad if you're hungry.

385
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: They're really not. It's nice to have a snack and

386
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: a cocktail.

387
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: Just before the pandemic started, I was on this trip,

388
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: I went to Paris for a week with my best

389
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: gay with my best gay guy friend, and we were

390
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: like having a time being like, oh, wouldn't it be

391
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: cute if we were in love with each other?

392
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: We are but not like that.

393
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: And we were having martinis and we were like, should

394
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: we move here this summer? Are we going to meet

395
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: the loves of our lives in Paris? And then the

396
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: world shut down. We were like, well, well, well we'll

397
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: always have Paris. Like in the movies, if there were

398
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: to be a museum about you and your life, what

399
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: would the merchant the gift shop to be, Oh, you know,

400
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: other than a nice martini shaker.

401
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: It would be well, you know, it's too soon, but

402
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: there will be a gift book in our museum, especially

403
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: for me, But really too soon to announce it, but okay,

404
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: at some point we'll talk about it. But okay, it

405
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: would probably be be something wearable, right, I mean, yeah,

406
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 3: I'm a fashion girl, and I think that everybody would.

407
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: Everybody loves a cute T shirt that's kind of with

408
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: a nice saying, that was kind of cool and edgy,

409
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: you know that that was fitted. You know, it was

410
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: something that I would want to wear right, Yeah, it'd

411
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: probably be a T shirt.

412
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of speaking of the fashion girlies, did you see

413
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: that collab that Micheleen Thomas did with Marfa Stance, that

414
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: jacket company.

415
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: Oh?

416
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I was like, well, I'm ordering myself to trench goat. Okay,

417
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you forever. I also want

418
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: you to go to the beach because you're doing whatever

419
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: you want and you deserve it.

420
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 3: Well. Right now I want to talk to you so well.

421
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: But this has just been absolutely lovely. Until I can

422
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: take you for a martini somewhere we're in the same city.

423
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I will let you go back to your day, but

424
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: not before I get to ask you my favorite question

425
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: to ask everyone who graces me with their time. As

426
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: you look at the world ahead, the year ahead, for you,

427
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: what feels like you're working progress?

428
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: Oh?

429
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: For me personally, it.

430
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: Can be personal, professional, anything you want.

431
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: I think I'll stick with personal because right now that's

432
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 3: what I think I have control over, right and and

433
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: that's what the work is. It's me focusing on being

434
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: the best me that I can be. Because when the

435
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 3: world feels out of control, when the problems seemed big,

436
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: as I've said, in the light, the best thing is

437
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: to go a little small and to start with what

438
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: you can control. And for me, it's my health, it's

439
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: my mental health, it's my choices, my decisions in life.

440
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: I think I will continue to offer my advice, my

441
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: direction to people. I will tell people to vote, I

442
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: will I will express what I what I think when

443
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: the time comes. But I've learned that I really can

444
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: only control me, and if we all kind of do that,

445
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: control me, my orbit, the girls that I brought into

446
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 3: the world, my daughter's helping them become amazing people who

447
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 3: were thoughtful and empathetic and not afraid. You know, if

448
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 3: we all just did that, we'd be in a good place.

449
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna keep keep working on the me that

450
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: is always the work in progress, because we are always

451
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: still becoming and that won't change.

452
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, that's the hope, right if we

453
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: if we stop becoming, we're probably dying.

454
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, So how lucky are we to be on

455
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: the adventure.

456
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 3: Let's let's continue to be blessed, to feel blessed and

457
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 3: grateful for that and find our happiness and joy there

458
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 3: and not rely on things that are external that we

459
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: don't have control over. We got to redefine what happiness

460
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: is these days, right, And I'm having a lot of

461
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 3: those conversations with the young people in my life as well.

462
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 3: It's like, I think we've kind of gotten not a whack.

463
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: And when Craig and I were growing up and your

464
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: mom was growing up, happiness was you got ice cream,

465
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: you know, every now and then, right, you got maybe

466
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: one birthday party your entire life. We were happy because

467
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 3: we got three toys at Christmas, you know, and we

468
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: were happy. So I'm trying to teach my girls how

469
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: to right size their happiness and not to base it

470
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: on external stuff and likes and influencing and money. It's

471
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: steering us in the wrong direction and it's not making

472
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: us kinder and more empathetic. And I want to lead

473
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 3: with that and for the people in my orbit, I

474
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: want them to practice that. So I got to keep

475
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: working on it too.

476
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,880
