<v Speaker 2>It has been a wild ride and it's I it's crazy.

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't I the people that have reposted. You've got

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>so many people. I met Meghan Trainer recently at I

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Heart Event, Love It, Love It. We went to some

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Wango Tango, which has been around forever. I went.

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in Orange County and used to be

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>at the Angel Stadium. She comes out of nowhere, she's

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>on the red carpet and goes she literally says these words,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 2>You're the reason why I'm a pop star.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I just got chills all over my mom.

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Now body and that is like someone saying that, And

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I was like, like it was so hard to not like,

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm thinking about.

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>It right now.

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Like Megan Trainer, I'm like, girl, are you like, oh

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>my gosh, I can't even And she was like, I

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>used to be Derinda when I played it, and I

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>was just like I looked at my husband and just

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, did that literally just happen? Likely ow?

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean that movie did change everything. It did just

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, four girls from very different backgrounds and talking

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>about you know, your how your spots are different. But

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys are sisters. Like I remember watching that and

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>just wanting to be all of you and wanting to

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 1>find my little Cheetah sisters. I swear to god, you're

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna laugh. We had I had a group of friends

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that would come over and each of us would be.

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>And you know, everyone wants to be who they relate to, right, sure,

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 1>And we were the best part of form and record

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>on one of those big things with the tapes. I

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 1>think I still have the tapes. If I go back

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to Utah and my mom's storage unit, I could probably

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>find them us dressed like you guys, totally performing doing

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing and that.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, there was four of us. We were

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>all different. We had different personalities, We had different talents

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>that came to building. Like I was the dancer, right,

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.959
<v Speaker 2>I was choreographing. That was my my thing eventually, Like

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Kiely was the design like you know everyone Raven, you know,

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>she was the songwriter. You know. There's just like so

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>many things that like anyone could look and you could

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>go like I want to be Drinda today, but tomorrow

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be Chanel, right, you know, like you all,

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>there was so many things for people to latch onto

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>totally and see themselves, right And the biggest thing that

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>I will I have zero regrets when it comes to

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the choices that I've made in my career is like

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.639
<v Speaker 2>being a part of something that inspired young girls. There

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>were so many girl groups out at that time. Yeah,

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>but we had an amazing opportunity to have storylines that

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>girls could really relate. Like it wasn't just because we

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>were out there and singing songs, but like our songs

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>had meaning, they came to a storyline and it just

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>like the ability to like inspire girls the way we

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>got a chance to do was so unreal.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was all about girl empowerment.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes it was, and it still is. You know, I

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>think the movies because my podcast we rewatch all these

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Disney Channel movies.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>What a Dream?

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>And I know that's like my homework is to watch

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>these movies Brink, Johnny Tsunami, the ones I grew up

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>with a smart house, like all these amazing Disney Channel movies,

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 2>and like some of them don't sit and stick. They

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>don't really they're not relevant. But you watch the Cheetah

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Girls of Time, and you watch the Cheetah Girls in

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>those messaging and like everything that we go through, it's

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 2>like they still Like I watched them and was like,

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I know, for a fact, if I had never been

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>a part of this, this is what I would want

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>my daughter to be watching, to be watching. Yeah, and

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 2>she does, and.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>She what does she think? About it. Does she think

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>that that's just like the coolest thing on the planet.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>So this I really haven't had a chance to do

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a ton with her until the last like year or so.

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I took her to Disney Channel Night. That was wild

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>for her because it was the first time that Channel

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Night is legitimately like basically cosplay. They there was so

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>many Cheetah girls there. There was Chirls and Lizzie McGuire,

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>all high school musical fans, and everyone shows up can

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>possible outfits, like shows up in the outfits and it's

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>literally Disney for them, like the whole There's there's photo ops,

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>there's different foods. It was such a cool night at Disneyland.

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 2>And she's sitting there watching She's seen the first one.

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>She understands the track suit and then I went to

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the bathroom and I put one on. I put my

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>orange track suit. Guys, I had orange. That's always been

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>a thing for me. I haven't gotten over it. Clearly

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I had to be orange. It's fine because the ones

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 2>that happened is more of like a nectarine color. I'm

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.799
<v Speaker 2>trying to make it better. It's not anyway well being forward,

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>But I put on the tracksuit, and when I came out,

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.039
<v Speaker 2>she was just like it's like she's not really quite

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 2>understanding the difference right just yet. But then she's seen

0:05:56.200 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>all these girls come out wearing these outfits and literally

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>that they can't help but go back to when they

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 2>were younger and craking out united. They want pictures. They're

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>grabbing me and Monroe's just holding my hands so tight,

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>like what is going on? So it was very it's

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>like it's clicking now with.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Her that it starts clean because she's my daughter's age five.

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and have you gotten to take her to anything

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>really cool? Like we just got to go to the

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 2>premiere for Descendants wondering and she was looking around like

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and she's like mind blowing. My mom got me like

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and she told everyone, so she's starting to understand. But

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm also trying to say, like we don't have to

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>talk about it that much, like pull it back a

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>little bit. You don't have to tell mommy. Your preschool

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>teacher doesn't need to know mommy's a cheap girl.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Like don't see, I'd be like, go tell your preschool

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>teacher that mommy is a che's a girl.

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 2>It's so weird, like I'm visiting all of this again,

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>but as a mom, and it's different.

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>It's different because you and I grew up in a

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 1>time where like I understand the people coming and freaking

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>out and wearing, you know, their track suits, because I

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>remember watching Disney Channel and it was such a build

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>up of like the Cheetah Girls premiere is on blah

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>blah blah day, Like there was such a build up

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of all Now everything's streaming and easy access on the phone,

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Like you planned your life around when these shows were going.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>To air on Disney Channel, And when the Cheetah Girls

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>came out, it was during an era of the channel

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>that there it was the Disney Channel original movie of

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the month. Yes, so it was like you were running

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>home to see it on Friday after school on Friday.

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>It was always on a Friday or.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Hearing out like four or five, right, and then for

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the next month almost.

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>It was just on then you can yeah, you can

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>turn it it fourteen times already.

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 2>And I do empathize with the parents that used to

0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 2>come up to us during that day, being like, do

<v Speaker 2>my gosh, we have this on recording so many times. Girl,

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 2>you got it, we got it, we got it.

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 1>She's a little performer. Yeah, she's you.

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 2>She and she looks so much like me when I

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 2>was little, Like I have like a little mini me.

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 2>My family watches her and when she does certain mannerisms,

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>like they all just like lose their mind. And then

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.680
<v Speaker 2>my son is a replica of my husband, so we

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 2>have one of each.

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That's great. I'd say that's very well rounded family. I

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.959
<v Speaker 1>have two girls. One of my kids is conceived via

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 1>sperm donor. Okay, so I get to just say, she's

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>all me me ready.

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I love her and my sister all four of her

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 2>kids are sperm donors. Really yeah, she's she's gay, got it?

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>So that was the only way and the same donor

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>for all the kids.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Yes, wow, and they've even one thing you're I would

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>love to hear more of your process, and I know

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>you've talked about it on your podcast. But one of

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the things that was very cool while her and her

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 2>wife were going through the sperm donor process was realizing

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 2>it's not just picking the person. Then you're in this

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 2>like community. So they connected with another couple who also

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 2>used the same sperm donor, and they were just pen

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>pals via like you know, wanting to know. They're like,

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 2>can we just kind of open it up of like

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>how you're going to explain things later? Like the kids

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>are babies right now, but like at one point like

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 2>how are you going to explain certain things? And they

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 2>did it for like, uh, medical reasons of wanting to

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, if there was ever an issue. But they

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 2>became great friends and then they their families like like

0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 2>my nephew will call their son and daughter like brother

0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and sister.

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 1>That is so cute.

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 2>They're like, yeah, they've they've really And it was crazy

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to be like I didn't realize thinking about other families

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 2>like do you open it? Do you is it open?

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it closed? Is it open? At eighteen? All of

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 2>these things that my sister went through. It was very

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 2>fascinating to go through it on the outside of her. Absolutely,

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>it was very cool journey.

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It's I cannot explain, I mean. And I asked the

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>cryobank that I went through, I said, you know, how

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>many people come to you guys in my situation because

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, you know, if a woman she doesn't have

0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>viable eggs, you know, or a man his sperm doesn't work,

0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>stormers ain't working sperm donor couples in same sex marriages. Yeah,

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 1>they were like, for you, it's like a very very

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>small percentage like women coming in and it being like

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>single mother by choice, so I haven't. Oddly enough, I

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>have one friend who was going through it, but her

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>gay best friend is the donor. Okay, I couldn't get

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>my gay best friends. They were like, I would feel

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 1>too guilty leaving. I feel guilty leaving ocean. She's not

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.960
<v Speaker 1>even mine. I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, but

0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>my biggest thing was like picking a donor first and foremost,

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>because I'm gonna already have a lot to explain, and

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles is very inclusive, right, I don't worry about here,

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>but the outside world. I've seen the comment sections I'm

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a big, big sinner. I have done my child dirty

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>by not having a dad. Got it. It's like the

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I'm like so confident in my decision

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>that there's not much you can say to me.

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 2>People realize the amount of decisions you have to make

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>during that process that when you go through it, you

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>are so confident. You're so confident, you're so I mean

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 2>the books that we you go, you take it from

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 2>the donors and and the questioning that they do. They

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 2>don't just do their mom and dad. It's like eat

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>their dad's mom and dad. Oh, their mom's mom and dad.

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Level of testing that I had to go through. Yeah,

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the genetic testing. I had like a panel of five hundred.

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>He was like, you didn't get the full one. I'm like,

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>there's more. I like passed out because they took so

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>much blood. I was like, I don't think I can

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>go back there.

0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:54.960
<v Speaker 2>It don't maybe go back wow.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.439
<v Speaker 1>But what I didn't realize, like your sister was saying,

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like the questions and how you explain is this is

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>what I'm facing right now with my kids, because we

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>already like there's already this weird thing of Ocean growing

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>up with her dad being a movie producer and all that,

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Like she sees very a very crazy life. People run

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>up to her and they're like, oh my gosh, Ocean. Yeah,

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>so there's that aspect that we already live in, like

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a pretty different world which you can relate to. But

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>with Sosa, this is what you're gonna die of the story.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll make it quick. So I tell Ocean that she

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>can go in when her sister's up, she can go

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>keep her company in the crib. Okay, and for a

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>period of time, Sosa, my youngest, my donor baby mm hmm,

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 1>kept saying daddy to everybody. And I hear my daughter

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Ocean say no, so say you don't have a daddy.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>You don't have a daddy? No, And I was like,

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.400
<v Speaker 1>oh fuck, I did not think this one through. So

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>we're walking through downtown Palm Springs and Sosa says daddy

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and Ocean goes into you don't have a dad. Well,

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>then I get protective of Sosa, right, I go, I

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>know she doesn't have a dad. Isn't she so lucky

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>all of her stuff is in one place. She has

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to be with mom all the time. And my brother

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Easton looks at me and goes, please do not fuck

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>up your other child while trying to protect Sosa. And

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh shit, I did not see this coming.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's so you have to find ways to

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 2>explain stuff, but not you.

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Know, traumatize both of them while trying to protect the other.

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Or just and kids are just they just ask a

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 2>lot of questions and it can be very overwhelming. My

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 2>daughter was with our friend and his fiance and they're

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 2>his child who he has, you know, and she has

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 2>two mommies And Monroe's like, what's going on here? Yeah,

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.760
<v Speaker 2>why don't I get two mommies, and I'm like, because

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 2>her mommy and daddy didn't stay together? Well why, okay,

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I have to sometimes just like.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Dad is that's why?

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 3>But like these questions that you're just like not ready

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 3>to explain, and how to explain it without putting someone

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 3>else down sometimes to explain stuff right like, she I go.

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Isn't she lucky she gets two mommies that love her?

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>And she goes, yeah, but why don't I get that?

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, because I'm all the love unique girls, why.

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Does Susie get two Christmases and I get one?

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Right there? You go, It's so hard to explain. Sometimes

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 2>you just and you start mumbling, and you as much

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>of a confident adult as you are, they can really strike.

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.239
<v Speaker 1>They school you, humble you.

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Mommy, that's not appropriate. Or something comes on the TV

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 2>and I have to be so careful because she just

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 2>she'll stop doing what she's doing, coloring or automatically. And

0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.000
<v Speaker 2>also she's looking and I'm like, oh my gosh, I

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>forgot the show, isn't you know? I'm sorry? Girl?

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, please don't tell your preschool teacher.

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 2>They know everything they do true and I know that

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 2>because my husband's mom is one, and so she tells

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>me all the funny stories that these kids come to shit.

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, she's got the experience. Yeah, oh my gosh, what

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I now that should be the reality show because preschool

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>teachers and what they hear. Oh yeah, they would dig that.

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh do you get worried because it sounds like you're

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>your daughter's a little performer? Would you say you were

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a child star?

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Because how old were you when Cheetah Girls came out?

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Eighteen? The Cheetah Girls was my first job that I

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 2>had without my parents. One of my parents on set

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 2>with me. Okay, and I turned eighteen like the second

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 2>day of rehearsal, so I was legitimately like the first

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.280
<v Speaker 2>time we went to Toronto. I went to Toronto by myself.

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, so I was in college. Okay, so you're

0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 2>playing a fifteen year old, yes, yeah, freshman in high school.

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Does it scare you because you've been in the industry.

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.399
<v Speaker 1>If your daughter does decide to like take the path

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>that you took, is there like a rule that you've

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>set up where if she when she hits a certain age,

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 1>if she's still into it, you will help her in

0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that direction.

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>She's asked about it a lot. The crazy part is, no,

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be scared. I feel like I watched my

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 2>parents do it the right way, and I was around

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.719
<v Speaker 2>other child actors whose parents did it a way that

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't. I wouldn't say the wrong way, but the

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 2>way I wouldn't want to do it, okay, And I

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 2>really loved that there was always it was always known

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 2>if I just woke up one day and didn't want

0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>to do it anymore, that I didn't have to. There

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 2>was no pressure, no even I mean, it was such

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 2>a big deal even in high school. I came home

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.919
<v Speaker 2>actually from my freshman year of high school in tears

0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 2>almost every day because I felt like I was missing

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 2>out on opportunities and auditions because I had to go

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 2>to school. Wow. Yeah, And my dad was like, I

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 2>love you, and I don't care that you are trying

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 2>to grow up too fast. Wow, I want to He

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.159
<v Speaker 2>always said, I want to take a picture at your

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>senior prom together and not because you're going with someone

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>else at your senior prom. Like, that's what I want

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 2>for you. I want you to work as much as

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 2>you we can, but also have a different life. So

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 2>I was always able to segregate like work life and

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>then come home and be like a normal kid. Be

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 2>a normal kid, yeah, play soccer or be a dancer.

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.879
<v Speaker 2>And it wasn't until I actually joined my dance team

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 2>at school that I finally found like a purpose, Like

0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 2>I felt like I really loved being a part of school.

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I got to be a part of the school commune

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.439
<v Speaker 2>versus feeling like I felt like I was like a

0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 2>commuter because everyone would go after school and hang out.

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I was either going to dance class, or I was

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up to La to do acting, or I was

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 2>coming up for jobs or you know what I mean.

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I was doing all that and not because of my parents.

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>My parents would have loved for me to not to

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 2>be like I don't want to do that. My dad

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know, why don't Why don't you be

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 2>like any other career like you could, you could do

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:29.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want. He didn't necessarily want me in the industry.

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:30.959
<v Speaker 2>He was they was. They were scared about it. They

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 2>made me. I was a background actor for a long time.

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I did dance.

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I was a dancer in the industry, so I did

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.919
<v Speaker 2>you know again, the there was a principal character, and

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 2>I was dancing in the background and doing things like

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 2>that because my parents kept thinking, you're going to get

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 2>bored on set because set is actually very boring for kids,

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:57.600
<v Speaker 2>very boring, true word. But kids have the extra have

0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to go to school for three hours exactly. That makes

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 2>it really not fun because they're just basically doing homework

0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.679
<v Speaker 2>for three out. They're not learning a lesson. It's with

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 2>the set teacher who has a fourth grader, a fifth grader,

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 2>a second grader, so they're just basically doing busy work.

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 2>My parents kept thinking if I was a part of it,

0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 2>I was going to just get over it, and they

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize I was like just falling in love with

0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>it even more. Even more so, I would support Monroe

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>and or Ledger if he wanted to. He's actually very funny,

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 2>but it'd have to be I'd have to be able

0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 2>to do it the way that I did it with

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:36.680
<v Speaker 2>my parents. And my dad was a real estate agent,

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 2>so he was able to be on set with me.

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's great, you know.

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 2>And my mom did a lot of more of the

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:44.399
<v Speaker 2>like the paperwork and stuff like that at home, so

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 2>she he would she would send me with my dad

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.679
<v Speaker 2>and he I felt took really good care of me

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.360
<v Speaker 2>on set, like, oh yeah, I never I never went

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>anywhere where he couldn't see me. He protected me a lot.

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.920
<v Speaker 1>That makes me, yeah, really really happy for you. Yeah,

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>because it can get dark.

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I will say when I was eighteen and

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.239
<v Speaker 2>given the opportunity to be part of the channel, like

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 2>the Channel takes really good care of their kids. Like

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 2>now when we interview for the podcasts that I do,

0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 2>and we talk to the new kids on Zombies and

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 2>the new kids on Descendants, and I'm like, there's a

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 2>whole world of like Instagram wasn't around when I was

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 2>not at all, that whole part of being famous was

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 2>not really a part of the gig. And you know,

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>the channel gives the We talked to Malachi from Zombies

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 2>talk to his mom and what it's like to have

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:42.439
<v Speaker 2>what's it like to have Malachi? Like holy, does.

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:43.679
<v Speaker 1>She control the Instagram?

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>No? She she did for a long time, but he's

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 2>eighteen now. I was like, what's that, Like, how did you?

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.400
<v Speaker 2>And she goes you know, I will say, I'll give

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>it to Disney. They give them education on it. Oh wow,

0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 2>they help them with that. They helped that that aspect

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 2>of teaching them how to not post when you're there,

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.120
<v Speaker 2>post after like all those things I feel like kids

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.560
<v Speaker 2>today don't think about. They get a lot of like

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 2>help with that, which I think is magical. I think

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.919
<v Speaker 2>that's just so incredible. Disney's so hands on with that stuff.

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I love that too. Do they do they prep them

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>for the comment section? Because we were talking about the

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>comment section?

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 2>She said they talked. They work with them on like

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>mental health. That's a big, a big thing that they

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.359
<v Speaker 2>advocate for the channels. So and I will say I

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>believe it one hundred percent because Disney was so hands

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 2>on and so great they were. It was a really

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 2>good company to work with, especially with that being my

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 2>first Yeah, saying that I had to start doing stuff

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 2>on my own without someone over my shoulder of some sort,

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 2>so your protector, yeah, watching me and making sure, you know.

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 2>And he was really great also about he would call it.

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 2>He would say, let's you know, let's let's go through

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 2>what happened today, because he wanted me to like talk

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.400
<v Speaker 2>through what happened with things on set, you know, good

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 2>or bad? Good or bad? Yeah, you know, things that

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you saw that you might have not liked, so I

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't understand why so and so got in trouble about this,

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>or I didn't like the way this person was talked

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 2>to or whatever, or did you see how this person

0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:19.399
<v Speaker 2>like dad, did you see them handle that scene? Wow?

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 2>What a bad ass. Yeah, you know, so we got

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 2>to go through and he would He loved for me

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 2>to be able to kind of say it to me

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:29.160
<v Speaker 2>because when I was going home, I wasn't going home.

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have a friend group of actors, people that

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 2>up to playing soccer. I had friends that were baseball

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.520
<v Speaker 2>or you know, or didn't didn't have an outside activity

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 2>from school. You know, I had people that like couldn't

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 2>understand like the LA life totally and the work, And

0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.480
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't understand why I was wanting to work. They

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:48.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't understand that.

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>When you could chill like you got your whole life

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to work.

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they could not understand that, and so they couldn't

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 2>understand that I loved it. I just loved it.

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Right, that's where you were thriving. You knew that you

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be in that environ at all times. Yeah,

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>so when you you obviously came to LA, you auditioned

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:06.639
<v Speaker 1>for the Cheetah girls you auditioned in LA or no

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>self tape? No was there self tape back then?

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>There were for people like that were like in Texas.

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Texas was a pretty big place for kids.

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, send in like an actual tape for like,

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 1>why am I having this memory of a friend sending

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 1>in like a real life tape.

0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 2>They might have, I mean you, But like it wasn't

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 2>as common LA. Everyone was auditioning.

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Like, if you wanted to audition for movies, you need

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to move to Los Angeles.

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say, that's what kids do. There's a there

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.160
<v Speaker 2>used to be a thing, and I think it's probably

0:24:43.200 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 2>still relevant where it was called pilot season and it

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:51.159
<v Speaker 2>would be like the month the months of January, February,

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe like March, and people would move to LA and

0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 2>live in oh Man. Will would tell me, I forget.

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 2>There was like a certain condo area that everyone who

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 2>lived that was out of town would live in this

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:13.639
<v Speaker 2>apartment complex and you would just be there strictly to

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 2>come an audition for three months or whatever your parents

0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:19.440
<v Speaker 2>could do, and hopefully book a pilot. And if you

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 2>booked a pilot, then you filmed the pilot and then

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>it got picked up or it didn't you.

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Talking about this puts a pit in my stomach because

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember being in Utah and wanting to be an

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>actress and it was me and my friend and she

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.439
<v Speaker 1>was much more driven, and she would come out for

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 1>pilot season and I remember like wanting to do that

0:25:40.320 --> 0:25:43.120
<v Speaker 1>because I needed to do it, but it felt very

0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable for me and coming out during pilot season and

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 1>not really grinding like my friend was grinding, and feeling

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 1>guilty that I didn't have the drive and the grind

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.200
<v Speaker 1>that she had. She ended up moving full time and

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>missing high school. I ended up staying back as my

0:25:58.359 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 1>parents were.

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Like, we really need you to just be a kid.

0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>And I was like that that when you say that

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to me, the pit leaves my stomach. Yeah, that I

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:07.439
<v Speaker 1>can do.

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you had those opportunities to do that, because

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the kids that that don't they There's

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>at some point like I feel I just feel like

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 2>what goes into my work now and now I'm doing

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 2>like podcasting and stuff. All the experiences that I had, right,

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:27.920
<v Speaker 2>it was that age, right, Yeah, And then of course

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the experience when I had when I booked the Cheetah

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Girls and I mean, but it it was tough and

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 2>not This is my part point going back to Monroe.

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's an age, but it will

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.880
<v Speaker 2>be something that I need to make sure she has

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 2>the tough skin to be able to do what it

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 2>is that kids do in the industry and audition and

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 2>take the nose because you get a hundred nose before

0:26:51.440 --> 0:26:54.640
<v Speaker 2>you get a callback, and then you get a hundred

0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:59.199
<v Speaker 2>callbacks before you get a second callback and the screen

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:03.640
<v Speaker 2>testing to be able to go. They didn't. It could

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 2>be as simple as they want a redhead. They don't

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 2>want to they don't want a brunette. Right, It's as

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 2>simple as that they want brown eyes and they don't

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 2>want blue.

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I can put in contacts, I can change my

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 1>hair color.

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, you're like, wait what, I'll change myself right, Like,

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 2>but like to not let to not let those nose

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.959
<v Speaker 2>affect you. And she's too little for me to know

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>if she's that total or not. And until I know

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.479
<v Speaker 2>and feel confident that she can take a no and

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:32.119
<v Speaker 2>it not affected me, I was like, you're bad. Yeah,

0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I would have been great for this role, like I

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 2>had that kind of Yeah, I'm like, there was it

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 2>was just and my dad would say when I'd get frustrated,

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 2>because like, go back to pilot season. There was the

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 2>year before I booked The Cheetah Girls, I was in

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>three pilots that didn't get picked up. Wow. Yeah, I

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.360
<v Speaker 2>was in Bold and the Beautiful. I had a recurring role,

0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 2>but my character didn't get the contract. My girlfriend's character did.

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And to take those hits and there's a time where

0:28:02.880 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I like again, I had really great open

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:08.720
<v Speaker 2>communication with my parents and my dad was like, Sabrina,

0:28:08.760 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you right now, I can feel it. It

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.119
<v Speaker 2>feels like there's a train approaching us and it's just

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna take that one yes for you to just ride

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and go. And I was like, okay, Like on the

0:28:21.520 --> 0:28:23.439
<v Speaker 2>days that I'd get frustrated, and I get us that

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 2>because there were roles that I really wanted, you know,

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.199
<v Speaker 2>and you don't get those roles all the time. So

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.240
<v Speaker 2>when the Cheetah Girls came out and this character Derinda

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:33.080
<v Speaker 2>and I auditioned for all four. So that's what they

0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:34.479
<v Speaker 2>did with the Cheetah Girls. Oh, they came in.

0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 1>You auditioned for all you.

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Everyone auditioned for all four and was praying for obviously

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>wanting to get Galleria because it was the lead, but

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I really felt like Derinda was mine.

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Really.

0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It was one of those I'm like, I could sing,

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 2>I could dance, I could put me in a room.

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I will outdance anyone that else comes in, Like I was.

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I just like felt like this was my role and

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I was going to prove that it was my Like

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I just had that vibe right And then but I

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 2>auditioned for Chanel and Aqua didn't. I think I might

0:29:08.560 --> 0:29:11.080
<v Speaker 2>have gotten a callback maybe when I went in and

0:29:11.120 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I probably I think I auditioned for Channel and Derinda

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 2>on the callback, okay. And then this was the fourth

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 2>callback was when there's this Burbank building for the Channel

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 2>that used to have everything and the top floor, like

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the floor twenty one is where the auditions happened. Okay,

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and you get out of that that elevator and it's

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 2>like the whole time. I just was there and literally

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 2>in forty A just was there, like and I got

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the stomach bubbles going the elevator because this was when

0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 2>you got to that floor that was where the decisions

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 2>were made. Oh my gosh, and you'd be in a

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 2>room and hard racing. You're just telling the story. Most auditions,

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>you're in a room with everyone that looks like you

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 2>if you're when you get to callbacks, like, it's everyone Derinda.

0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 2>They didn't know what ethnicity they wanted. They didn't know

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 2>because she was a foster child. At that point, Raven

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>was already in the room. This was like the final

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 2>callback where they were starting to put us together. Uh

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Beyonce's little sister.

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:12.120
<v Speaker 1>So long, don't even get we started on. Sele comes through.

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm sitting in the chair and she comes through, and

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm like.

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you die?

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I would have died, but I had kept it cool.

0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like this was my face, which I

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 2>thought was probably as good as I could get.

0:30:24.280 --> 0:30:27.760
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, were you intimidated as it?

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Then Adrian by Alone comes back. Oh yeah, one

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>of the most gorgeous girls I'd ever seen. She looked

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 2>like she had no makeup on, just like some some blush.

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah she probably didn't.

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Her hair was like curly, but like in a like

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 2>backpas stunning And I was.

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Like, okay, see that's the worst. I'm like, I wish

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I had had a battle in our own little boxes

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>so that I can't see the competition, because then I'm

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>like that, but I knew.

0:30:57.480 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I was like that, she's that girl's going for Schanelle.

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Like new heard from one of the other girls that

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 2>came out that Raven was in the room, and I

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, this is They're looking for just Derinda

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Like this is so at that point I think they

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 2>had they had at least in their mind who the

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 2>rest of the three girls where they were just looking

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>for my part. And I just remember being like, okay,

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.479
<v Speaker 2>you got this, please love God get this, Like this

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 2>is it right? And we went in and then they

0:31:28.960 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I did a scene. I had a dramatic scene for

0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 2>the movie where I was explaining none of my friends

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 2>knew I was a foster child. Yeah, that's the scene

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I auditioned with.

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh I got chills again.

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And I was not performing the scene as dramatic

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 2>as what we ended up filming. And the director Oz

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Scott was like, I feel like you could give me more.

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to see what it would be like to

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 2>for you to not have the parents that you have.

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 2>What how would you think this girl would be what

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 2>would she be going through? And I went okay, and

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>me and Adrian I swear we did the scene almost

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:07.240
<v Speaker 2>exactly the way we filmed it in.

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 1>That so she was in me and that is who

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you were auditioning with.

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 2>And he was like, go there, let me see you

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 2>go there. You can do it.

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I can, I can tell you can do it. I

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, okay, And you know, that's always such a

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 1>good sign. I remember my very first acting class. They

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 1>were like, if someone in the room, like the director

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:28.320
<v Speaker 1>tells you to redo it, it's not because you did

0:32:28.320 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a bad job. It is because they know you have something.

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>You're tweakable and mouldable.

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. Yes. And that was my audition. And

0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:40.320
<v Speaker 2>then I got to dance, and that's when and.

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:43.360
<v Speaker 1>That's when you thrive. You broke it down, little girls.

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll show showed everything I could do.

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 1>What song did you audition to? Do?

0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>You remember I had a couple. I had Broadway song.

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I was more Broadway trained than I was pop star trained.

0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't work on like Britney Spears songs or Sineaguilera.

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I'd come in with like a Broadway side or a

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Disney song like river What's the River Bend from Pocahontas

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:09.960
<v Speaker 2>was a song belt in it and I loved the belt.

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:16.160
<v Speaker 2>And then there was a Liza Minelli's song I Forget

0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but pretty pretty city Lights and she hits this really

0:33:20.040 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 2>high note in it. So that's what I would try

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 2>to do, is show my range. And so I came

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:27.840
<v Speaker 2>in probably with Pocahontas, and then I did that song

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>and and.

0:33:28.320 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>You were like, but then.

0:33:32.840 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Like's and this, and you opened your eyes to just

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 2>exacts like that was great, like wow, okay, so I

0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:49.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't move anyone. Okay, They're like in the room with

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 2>hearing over and over these songs of kids, you know,

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 2>like a weather around the road, and what was well,

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I will say I remember is was always the worst

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 2>of going into and having to be a dancer and

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.480
<v Speaker 2>them just putting on a track and going okay, like

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 2>let's see you more.

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:11.040
<v Speaker 1>So with the dancing, they picked the song they would.

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Just put on a track, or you could bring a

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:14.680
<v Speaker 2>song that you would like, but I didn't really care.

0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 2>You could put anything.

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 1>On the worst because I go straight into the fizzle face.

0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Now, oh I.

0:34:21.719 --> 0:34:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Get it right.

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Most you'd be the what most kids do. They're learning

0:34:26.680 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>TikTok dances, and that's the face that you do in

0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:29.480
<v Speaker 2>a TikTok.

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 1>These kids don't know that face is mac dre. Let

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>me tell you so, yeah, why don't. I'm obsessed with

0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 1>everything you just want.

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:43.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever gone that dove that far

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 2>into that whole thing. But anyway, for you and you

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 2>hear nothing, nothing. Months go by, Audish agent hasn't heard anything.

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I'm off to college. I'm at Chapman

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm in the dorm like.

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Living normal, like mom and dad wanted yev.

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 2>And then I got, you know, a job at a

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 2>tanning salon, like like one does.

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Wow in college disorients, I was saying.

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>And I then Debah Martin Chase, the producer, called me,

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.919
<v Speaker 2>and I was at my tanning salon and my phone rang,

0:35:15.960 --> 0:35:17.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it was where it was probably should

<v Speaker 1>I can't watch No White because it terrifies.

0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:51.920
<v Speaker 2>The Pinocchio ride is even worse though.

0:38:51.960 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But Disney Princess, favorite Cinderella, Okay, favorite Disney Channel theme

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.520

<v Speaker 2>Is so hearn ooh, Mickey mouse Club again.

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I really liked the Kim Possible and Proud Family. That's

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:09.759
<v Speaker 1>when I felt in love. Was so launch because if

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you remember, on Disney Channel, they would show you the

0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:14.759
<v Speaker 1>making of the songs and they'd show the girls in

0:39:14.800 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the studio making the Proud Family theme song. Wow, she

0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 1>did it with Beyonce, she did it with Disney's Child.

0:39:23.040 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I don't think I ever knew that.

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to say that on my own podcast.

0:39:28.200 --> 0:39:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah take it. If you could voice any Disney character,

0:39:32.320 --> 0:39:32.920
<v Speaker 1>who would it be?

0:39:34.000 --> 0:39:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow? Probably Ariel. Really, yeah, I love that that movie

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I loved so much.

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd want to be the seagull. Oh yeah, al.

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Whoa what a swim?

0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Which Disney Channel character would be your best friend? Los

0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Siena guy Boulevards from Brown Family? I love her?

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh, I think I think Daisy

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 2>seems like a rider die.

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think the duck Duck looks like she's a rider

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:21.720
<v Speaker 1>die Like she's okay, she did this answer?

0:40:21.840 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think that she she would really jump in

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.840
<v Speaker 2>front of something for Minnie Mouse, like she'd jump in

0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 2>front of a bus for Minie Mouse.

0:40:29.360 --> 0:40:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Mickey Mouse is kind of a narcissist. I feel

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:36.960
<v Speaker 1>like my Disney like ears are raining.

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe you said that about Mickey.

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh dare you? I give a lot of unpopular opinions.

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:58.920
<v Speaker 1>We're so happy by the way of this reboot, I'm

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>what is it called a reboot? What do you call?

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:05.799
<v Speaker 2>So what it's going to be doing is really it's

0:41:05.840 --> 0:41:09.360
<v Speaker 2>going to introduce a whole new group of Chetah girls.

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. So it'll be interesting to see if

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 2>they grab onto these characters the way that they have

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:20.040
<v Speaker 2>for the the OG movies. Right right. I don't know.

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.839
<v Speaker 2>I would hope so I think the messaging, if it's

0:41:22.880 --> 0:41:26.279
<v Speaker 2>the same, will still resonate with kids. But like, I

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 2>feel like some of the fans are like, you know,

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:34.840
<v Speaker 2>what it seems like is that there's it's going to

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 2>be interesting. I don't know. I don't know. I think

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:40.280
<v Speaker 2>you're any like nervous energy because I'm like I would

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.800
<v Speaker 2>hate for like, I want the fans to love whatever

0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 2>the Cheata Girls is going to be.

0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they are because if you think about the

0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:50.640
<v Speaker 1>kids who were watching you guys, for the most part,

0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:53.440
<v Speaker 1>we've all become parents. Now it's going to be the

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:57.319
<v Speaker 1>new wave. Our kids are going to be obsessed with this,

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this new you know, Cheated Girls, and then we can say,

0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, this movie came out when we were kids,

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and then we can go back and watch like I'm

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 1>on this kick right now where like Ocean as far

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 1>as music goes, like we're listening from every like everything

0:42:11.920 --> 0:42:15.840
<v Speaker 1>from like Bob Marley, Whitney Houston, Appa, Tapa two, whatever,

0:42:15.960 --> 0:42:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Yaba Dabadoo or Drake. She loves Janish Stfu. She's like, mom,

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that says bad word, I'm like ignore it, Like well, routed,

0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and we're going back and watching Disney movies that came

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.080
<v Speaker 1>out when I was, you know, a young kid, so

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 1>like The Smart House. She just watched Life Size for

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the first time with Tyra Banks. She's obsessed. Her sister,

0:42:39.320 --> 0:42:44.480
<v Speaker 1>her older sister called me, who's stepsister? She was like,

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 1>what is this movie? That ocean is talking about a

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Barbie that comes to life with a twin And I'm like, oh,

0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Life Size a twin because we watched Parent Traps, so

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:55.160
<v Speaker 1>she thinks that that girl's actually a twin. So that's

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:57.360
<v Speaker 1>how I imagine it's going to go down. And I

0:42:57.360 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be a huge freaking success, and it's

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be such a cool moment for people who

0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>watched the original to be able to say like, oh,

0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:08.960
<v Speaker 1>just wait, I'm going to show you how it all started.

0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they're doing different they're also backing it up

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 2>again with a whole round of touring. So when we

0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:20.880
<v Speaker 2>were our move, like I said, Disney wasn't even expecting

0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:27.560
<v Speaker 2>us to be like this like force of music, right, They,

0:43:27.680 --> 0:43:29.680
<v Speaker 2>like I said, they didn't at first think they were

0:43:29.680 --> 0:43:31.879
<v Speaker 2>doing a soundtrack, then they did. They learned a whole

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:35.319
<v Speaker 2>lot from it, and they came out with High School Musical. Right.

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, we did a tour for the for

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Christmas and we just did like a theater tour and

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 2>sold that out. And so then after we were doing

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the second movie, it was like, you guys are going

0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to go on tour and we're going to promote the

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:52.040
<v Speaker 2>movie and the album and do a whole tour. We

0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:55.600
<v Speaker 2>did that tour for like seven or eight months. It

0:43:55.640 --> 0:43:57.239
<v Speaker 2>was only supposed to be four months, but we sold

0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:59.840
<v Speaker 2>our numbers were doing so well. They had us like

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 2>going back and doing those like cities again and it

0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:09.520
<v Speaker 2>was like they saw touring was like just so successful, right.

0:44:09.920 --> 0:44:12.319
<v Speaker 2>And the parents. What's great about the touring for us

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 2>was you've got parents who have one kid or two kids,

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:19.120
<v Speaker 2>and now this is getting to be their first concert

0:44:19.920 --> 0:44:23.440
<v Speaker 2>and the parents are getting the bandana and the glow

0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:27.080
<v Speaker 2>stick and the our merch records were just going razy

0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 2>because they're getting it for them.

0:44:28.719 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Like, by the way, I need a Cheetah Girls shirt.

0:44:31.040 --> 0:44:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I love me a merch shirt.

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:35.719
<v Speaker 2>I'll see if I can find one.

0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh, if you can send it my way, I will, I.

0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Will, I'll see if I can find one. What's cool

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:43.880
<v Speaker 2>now is they're doing these records like albums.

0:44:43.680 --> 0:44:45.879
<v Speaker 1>Like like a throwback, like the ones that.

0:44:45.880 --> 0:44:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Go on like the record a vinyl thinking they've got

0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:53.319
<v Speaker 2>vinyls now for the first movies. So then they went.

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:55.200
<v Speaker 2>But what we were doing is it was a Cheetah

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Girls tour and a high school musical tour. Miley said,

0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:01.480
