Speaker 1: Hey guys, and welcome back to another week of casual Chaos.

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: This week, I have two very exciting guests, Brooke and Page.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to casual Chaos.

00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: And then you're so excited to be here. Thank you

00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: for having us.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: You can't wait.

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: I know we actually went on I met Brooke and

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Page because we were on a brand trip with a

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Juicy Drop and they were so sweet. We went to

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: the Breakaway Music Festival and I was with them the

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: entire time. So that started our relationship, which was super fun.

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: And at that time you were engaged. But now you

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: just had your bridle shower.

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: How was that I did?

15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 4: It was so much fun.

16
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: We haveked gorgeous by the way. I loved your entire outfit,

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: all thanks.

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: To her lots of help. I can't take all the credit. Yeah,

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: my sister, my mom, and my mother in law. They

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: truly it was more than I could have ever asked for.

21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: I knew the shower was happening like that day and where,

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: but everything else was a total surprise and it was.

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 4: Just so detailed.

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: And let me tell you, me trying to surprise her,

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: like she's the type A one and I'm like type

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: the type C to please her was very stressful, but

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: I'm happy it turned out so well.

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: No, that's so funny. Is that how bridal showers are

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: kind of supposed to be.

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like I've been to.

31
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 5: Ones that are similar, but sometimes the bride is nervous.

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, like helping with the details and stuff.

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 4: I liked it.

35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 2: That was my first time ever seeing someone be surprised,

36
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: and I thought it was fun because she had like

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: no idea.

38
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: I feel like it is fun because it shows, like

39
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: what everyone's doing around you. It shows the appreciation, and

40
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: then I feel like you also feel extra special.

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: I know, like knowing they put in that much effort

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: for me, I'm like, wow.

43
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: That's so.

44
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: But it was beautiful and yeah, I would highly recommend

45
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: everyone to be surprised if they can be, because you

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: only get to many surprises in life, and I feel

47
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: like with all the other planning that comes into a wedding,

48
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: it's like the.

49
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: Break was nice.

50
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, definitely, with how much she's consumed with the wedding,

51
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: I don't think she would have had time to worry

52
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: about that, so obviously it worked out for the best.

53
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: That is like your big event.

54
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: Obviously, that you're worried about your planning, you're talking to

55
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: the wedding planners.

56
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: It's super, super stressful.

57
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: So it definitely was probably nice just to have this

58
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: as at a little surprise. But then your bachelorette party

59
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: as well. Page did you plan the whole thing?

60
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: I can't take credit.

61
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: I helped, but like she was really in on that one.

62
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: Oh really okay, yeah, I'm very type A and so

63
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: like it was after planning that I was like, Okay,

64
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: I need to let go of the control aspect on

65
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: like page you can plan and effort.

66
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: She was like, are you sure? I'm like these know.

67
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: I was like, please, let's not have suriz you. But no,

68
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: it worked out for the best. Also, her bachelorette we

69
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: had like over twenty people on it, so I was like,

70
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: how going to make this happen? All from like different

71
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: walks of life? So I'm like, people from LA people

72
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: from Pittsburgh. How are we going to get everyone to

73
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: get along? But it honestly could not have gone any.

74
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Better, I think, you know, especially bringing a big group together.

75
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: So did you kind of do it as having all

76
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: of your close friends even though everyone wasn't your bridesmaids?

77
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: Correct.

78
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: So I my bridesmaids are actually well bride'smaids.

79
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 4: The whole wedding party is just our immediate family.

80
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: So I have my sister as my maid of honor,

81
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: and then Brian's two sisters my bridesmaids, and then he

82
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: has his brother as his best man and my brother

83
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: as his groomsman. Because we just wanted to keep it intimate,

84
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you never know with friends and relationships

85
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: and stuff. I was like, I know these people are

86
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: here for life and just to avoid like feelings being hurt.

87
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: And it's so true me.

88
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: But for the bachelorette, I invited all of my close friends.

89
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: So I had my high school friends, I had my

90
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: college friends, I had my friends from when I lived

91
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: in la and Austin. So I was very lucky that

92
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: they all could be there and everyone got along great,

93
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: and now they're like all friends and so excited for

94
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: the wedding day together.

95
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Now I feel like that's the best way to do it,

96
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: because especially when you have so many different friend groups

97
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: from all over, I just like, how can you have

98
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: a people do it?

99
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: Which God bless you, but to have a twenty like

100
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: twenty people lined up next to you.

101
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: I also think about like the photos and when you're

102
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: standing on Like when you're standing at the altar and

103
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: you have so many people lined up beside you, I

104
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes it could also look messy. So to

105
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: keep it intimate and just have the family, I feel

106
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: like that's also really special. You know, they're not going anywhere,

107
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: They're with you for life, and those are like the

108
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: core people that are always going to be next to you. Yeah,

109
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: fortunately you can't get rid of me, but then it's

110
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: a big party for everyone else, which is still amazing.

111
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: What is your relationship like with Chloe and the rest

112
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: of the people on your cast today?

113
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of them were there.

114
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so great.

115
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think with all the original girls on the show,

116
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: we have a really good relationship.

117
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: I would say we're all like sisters.

118
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: We're honestly, sometimes sisters don't like each other, but you

119
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: got to just love each other, you know.

120
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

121
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 5: We all live in different places, like Chloe's in New York,

122
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: MEA's in La same with why Siglers, so we don't

123
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 5: get to see each other as much as we would like.

124
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 5: But anytime any of us are in the area, we

125
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 5: always try to make an effort to see each other.

126
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: And it's nice with all my wedding.

127
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: Stuff right now that like it gives us a reason

128
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 5: to be in the same room. Unfortunately, a few of

129
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 5: the girls couldn't make it to my shower.

130
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: But as of right.

131
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: Now, I'm pretty sure everyone is coming to the wedding,

132
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: except for Maddie because she's filming something so she won't

133
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: be able to.

134
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 4: But yeah, so I would.

135
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: Say, good, it's gonna be fun to have all of

136
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: us together in one room because it's been a while.

137
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 4: I know that's happened.

138
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: I know. Well, I feel like you have to do

139
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: some sort of like a wedding dance.

140
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 6: Okay, one fun fact about not only me but her too,

141
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 6: Like we can do a choreographed piece, like we can

142
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 6: go out on stage, we can do the dance Mom's numbers.

143
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: But no, you don't want to you don't want to see.

144
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: No, I mean listen, I grew up dancing too. I

145
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: feel the same way, but no, I mean it like

146
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: higher dance instructor, like with your bridesmaids, you know, like

147
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: when they do those sexy dances on the middle of

148
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: the dance floor, Like I love it.

149
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: I watched those videos all the time.

150
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: I would hate doing that.

151
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: Balani, Jojo and Kendall came out and did the whoa.

152
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 4: They did.

153
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did at the end of the reunion too,

154
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: and I'm very grateful that we weren't in that too.

155
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: Look out and I'm just like, please know and so

156
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: they killed it on the dance floor.

157
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 4: But I don't know if I could be me, I couldn't.

158
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: I would be nervous all day about that dance. No,

159
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: I totally about my speech.

160
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: I don't need that anything else.

161
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: I know.

162
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Kilanie actually got married last year. Did she give you

163
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: any tips leading up to all of this?

164
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 5: She's been super sweet and so nice throughout this whole process.

165
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: I would say. We went to her wedding in Italy,

166
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 4: which was beautiful.

167
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: Where did she get married in Italy?

168
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: Lake Como?

169
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: Oh gorgeous.

170
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: Oh it was beautiful.

171
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: And then we extended our trip and did a little

172
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: sister's trip.

173
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: We went to have to Yeah.

174
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: I know, we were like, thank you Colanie forgetting the

175
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: reason go to your rou But her wedding was goals

176
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: like in Spo. So I feel like just going to

177
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: her wedding alone was enough for me to take notes.

178
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: To be like I need to do this, I need

179
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: to do this. Yeah, because it was truly beautiful.

180
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

181
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: So, brother, who is your fiance? Where did you to

182
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: meet my fiance?

183
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: His name is Brian.

184
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: We actually met through my cousin. Brian and him were

185
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: friends through college and I was home. I was living

186
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: in Austin at the time and came home for the

187
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: holidays and he introduced us, and then from that day

188
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: on we I.

189
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: Guess are here now. But he actually grew up like

190
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 5: five minutes from me, but he was just a little

191
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 5: bit older and we didn't go to the same school,

192
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: so our paths never really crossed. But I always like

193
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: to say that the invisible string theory was so real

194
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 5: with us because I have been in like four three

195
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 5: of his houses that he lived in prior to meeting him,

196
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 5: and we have like pictures together in like a group

197
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 5: setting where we're on opposite ends, and we just never met.

198
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: Like that's so funny.

199
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: That's literally kind of like my boyfriend and I. We

200
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: have photos with each other, but before we actually like

201
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: connected and met, I'm like, wow, I do not remember

202
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: taking that photo with you, Like I didn't even know

203
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: who you were.

204
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: Opposite ends, and I say timing is everything. We weren't

205
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: met to meet then, because if we had, like I

206
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: probably I don't know, wouldn't have been as excited. When

207
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: Dono was like, oh, you should met my friend Brian,

208
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: I'd be like, Oh, I met him already.

209
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: So does your cousin take full credit for this?

210
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 6: Oh?

211
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. But we repaid the favor because we

212
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: introduced him to his now wife.

213
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's amazing. Brookie.

214
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: Were living in Austin before moving back to Pittsburgh. What

215
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: made you move back to Pittsburgh.

216
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 2: I I loved Austin. I was there for like a

217
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: year and a half. But before that, I was in

218
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: LA for like three years, and then I was in

219
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: college in Ohio. So I've been away from my family

220
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: for so long, and they were always getting together doing

221
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: Sunday dinners and things, and I was like, I have fomo.

222
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: But I loved being.

223
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: Like trying new places and then there's just so much

224
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 5: much more to do in those like big cities like Austin.

225
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 5: And actually our least was about to be up. I

226
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 5: lived with one of my best friends and we were

227
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: trying to figure out where we wanted to go next

228
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 5: because we felt like we outgrew Austin.

229
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: It was almost too much fun.

230
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: It was like I was back in college just partying,

231
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 5: and we were like, we don't want to do this anymore.

232
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: So we were looking at next places to go, and

233
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: Dallas was on our radar and a few other places.

234
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: But when I went home for the holidays and met Brian,

235
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 5: we started doing like long distance, and I was like,

236
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 5: I honestly.

237
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 4: Am not like that excited about any of these places.

238
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 5: Like I think I'm going to go home, see how

239
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: things go with Brian, and just like use my parents

240
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: as a home base and see what's next. Like if

241
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: I decided I don't like it, I'll pick up and

242
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: move somewhere else, but to just test the waters see

243
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: and now here I am like three four years ago later,

244
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 5: and I love Pittsburgh, So.

245
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I totally get it. I just moved

246
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: to the Jersey City Koboken area. But my main like

247
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: thing was I could have moved to New York City,

248
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: but even this is like the furthest distance basically to

249
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: be like before, right before New York.

250
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: But there was something.

251
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: About kind of staying in Jersey just because my family's

252
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: in Jersey, my boyfriend's in Jersey. Even though they have

253
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: to still drive about forty five minutes to an hour

254
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: to get to me, depending on traffic, it still is

255
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: that weird comfort of being in the same state at

256
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: least and like just knowing, Okay, they're there, they can

257
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: come see me. Like, you know, to get into New York,

258
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: it's just always such a hassle sometimes, so to be

259
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: here it was kind of like that weird comfort thing.

260
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: I still wanted to be near my family, so I

261
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: totally get it.

262
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

263
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: No, and I feel like we've just become so much closer.

264
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: She lives a three minute walk away and lives with

265
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: her boyfriend.

266
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: That's what I was just gonna say. I know, Paige,

267
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: you've been with your boyfriend forever, right.

268
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, we're coming up on eight years.

269
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be My God, that's incredible.

270
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, next we're going to be on here talking

271
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: about her wedding.

272
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: No, literally, I mean they just moved in together, so

273
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure, Page, I'm sure it's gonna happen.

274
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: Yes, soon, shopping yet, but we're talking about it so

275
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 4: on the radar.

276
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Yes, we also are.

277
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: Still so young. Like I talk about this with my

278
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: boyfriend all the time too. I'm like, you know, when

279
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: we move in with each other, which I feel like

280
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: is probably going to happen within this year, I'm like, then, okay,

281
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: once you move in with each other, you figure out.

282
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like moving in with each other is

283
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: so important before you get married, just because you have

284
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: to see if you really like living with the person.

285
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: It's so different, like if they help you clean up,

286
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: if they help you do the dishes, if they.

287
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: Help you do laundry. Like there's so many things.

288
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: To see, how like he is around the house, And

289
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: once you have that checked off, then it's like, okay,

290
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: we could talk about rings now.

291
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: It's actually I feel like there's so much pressure because

292
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh my gosh, you guys have been dating

293
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: for so Like every time I say how long I've

294
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: been dating, I'm like, because I know they're gonna be like,

295
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, where's the ring?

296
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: But like I feel that way.

297
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm a baby, and like we started

298
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: dating senior year of high school and then.

299
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing. You guys started so young.

300
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: Yes, we went.

301
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: Through college and then we ended up doing long distance,

302
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I feel like we've just been like

303
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: growing together, but like, what am I gonna twenty like

304
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: twenty one get married when I can't even drink?

305
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: I feel like And there's also so many other aspects

306
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: to it that I feel like, you know, other people

307
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: don't look at like when you start a relationship that young,

308
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: you also can't expect, like our partners or even us

309
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: to be fully established yet financially to be ready for

310
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: that next step. Like there's so many bigger things and

311
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: bigger pictures to think about, which is like, yeah, but

312
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: do I even want to be married right now? Like

313
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like my like all of my friends

314
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: are still single, having fun going out.

315
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: It's like I still want to embrace my twenties.

316
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly how I was. And obviously, yes, I

317
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: want to get married. I know I want to marry him,

318
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: and I know it's coming at some point, but I

319
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: just haven't been rushed. Like my older sister is just

320
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: going through that right now, and I'm loving seeing her

321
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: go through it and enjoying that process.

322
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: So I'm just I'm not in a rush.

323
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying where we're at, and I think we're very happy.

324
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love that.

325
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: I feel like your guys' childhood was very similar to mine,

326
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: just being on reality TV at such a young age.

327
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: Was it your decision or your mom's decision for you

328
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: guys to be on Dan's Mom's.

329
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: Definitely ours, I would say my mom actually was the

330
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: one who didn't want to do it.

331
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: Oh really wow.

332
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: But I will say when we signed the contract, we

333
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: thought we were signing up for a six week documentary.

334
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: We didn't really realize. I don't even think we knew

335
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: what reality TV was at the time.

336
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: When did you How old were you when you guys started?

337
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: I was eleven, I was eight or nine, probably nine, Like,

338
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: well when we figured this all out, like by the

339
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: time it aired, I think I was was it a

340
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: year later? Yeah?

341
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: I probably found out when I was eight, aired when

342
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: I was yeah maybe.

343
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 6: Well.

344
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: I have this vivid memory of me and Claudia sitting

345
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: in my bedroom and Mommy comes in and is like.

346
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: We got it, and I'm like, I'm gonna be Montana.

347
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: Like I had lot what reality TV was.

348
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: I thought I was like that's what we thought.

349
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: We thought we were going to be like the next

350
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: hand of Montana. Yeah, I thought I was like Disney

351
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: Channel Star. I had no idea what We were very excited,

352
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: I think, until it started, and.

353
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: Then we were like, wait, this is not what we

354
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 4: expected our lives to look like.

355
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: Was it different because obviously you guys were at this

356
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: dance studio prior to the show starting. Was it different

357
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: going to dance class like prior to the show being

358
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: filmed versus when it was being filmed.

359
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

360
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I would say the biggest difference was for

361
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: me because I didn't dance with the group that was

362
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: on TV. I danced with the older girls and had

363
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: a great friend group and they were all my age

364
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: and we just had like similar interests. And then when

365
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 5: the show started, they pulled me out of my group

366
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: and put me in with my sister and her group,

367
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 5: which love them. They're like my little sisters. But at

368
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 5: the time, I was twelve years old, just starting to

369
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: hang out with boys and like just very different interests.

370
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 5: So it was hard for me because we would be

371
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 5: in class together where my friend group was in the

372
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 5: other room, and I just like never saw them anymore.

373
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: So that was tough.

374
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: But overall, it was different because our schedule was so different.

375
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: We weren't in normal classes really anymore. Yeah.

376
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: Also, like the way we had to film things like

377
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: I feel like we would take nine years. It would

378
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: take like six hours just to film Pyramid, which that

379
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: was like just for the show.

380
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: Stuff like that we didn't do before. And you probably know,

381
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: like walk.

382
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Like you have to film yourself walking in pausing it

383
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 2: takes like two hours like that kind of stuff. When

384
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: we would actually just be in regular dance class, Like

385
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 2: little things like that were different.

386
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: I feel like it cut into our classes for like technique,

387
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 5: and we only did choreography and like learned routines on

388
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 5: the show.

389
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 4: We didn't do as much training.

390
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you guys regret ever doing the show?

391
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 4: I don't. Yeah, I don't either.

392
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 5: I feel like there was a while where I would

393
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 5: think about this question.

394
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, pros and cons.

395
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: There's pros and cons to everything, and I mean we

396
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: would not be here if it were not for that show.

397
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: So I was just going to say that, you know,

398
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: even growing up on reality TV, obviously, you know, everyone

399
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: goes through ups and downs in their life, and you

400
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: go through things and sometimes you probably ask God, like

401
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: why did this happen to me? But or why did

402
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: this happen to my family, and then you realize, yes,

403
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: this did bring a lot of negativity into my life

404
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: and maybe a lot of trauma or hurt. But then

405
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: also look at us now, you know, we have this

406
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: platform we are you know, we.

407
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: Have these careers that are that people dream of having.

408
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: Really, you know, it's not like we have to sit

409
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: at a desk from nine to five, and we really

410
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: have the luxury of being able to work from anywhere,

411
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: which is kind of amazing, and just kind of receive

412
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: these opportunities that people dream of when they're looking at

413
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: their fore page. So it's a pretty cool feeling.

414
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, definitely blessed, very grateful, definitely shaped us into

415
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: who we are to we're so much stronger and I

416
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: feel like it made us grow up a little bit

417
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: before everyone.

418
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: Else, but definitely made us all more mature for our age.

419
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: I would say, how.

420
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: Did it feel having each other on the show? Did

421
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: it make it more enjoyable for you guys? Did it

422
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: kind of help you.

423
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: Looking back now?

424
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't think I would have been able to

425
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: do it without you and just doing things like this now,

426
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: like I feel like I'm so much more comfortable having

427
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: her to like go to events to but like back

428
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: in the day, like she said, she was forced to

429
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: hang out with her younger sister and her friends.

430
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: So I think at that time we didn't like it.

431
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, like.

432
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 5: They used to pay me to watch them, Like when

433
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: the moms would go down for drinks when we were

434
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 5: like getting ready for competition, they would be like, we'll

435
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 5: give you some money if you watch the girl. No,

436
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 5: but like I loved them, but yeah, it was like

437
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: older sister younger sister mentality and dynamic where we.

438
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 4: Would fight it.

439
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: We were the same size too, so we fought a

440
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: lot of overclothes. I will actually say, when I think

441
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: about it, the girls on the bus used to fight

442
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: over who gets to sit with Brooke because she was

443
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: the one with a boyfriend back in the day, and

444
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: like she's like teaching everyone how to kiss on the back.

445
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: So I always remember being like choplover and it's like

446
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: Maddie and Chloe are fighting over who's gonna sit with

447
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 2: Brook on the back of the b So I'm like, guys,

448
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: you're my friends, Like why are we not me?

449
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: Like this is a little bit rude.

450
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: No, definitely, I feel like that was like the dynamic,

451
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: like she was just like the cooler older sister. Everyone

452
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: wanted to hang out with her. My favorite memories is

453
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: the apps, the organization. I like, like just when you

454
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: would like jail break your.

455
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 5: Phone, Oh my god, I would look at my like

456
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 5: setup and I'm like showing it off and like next day,

457
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 5: so he's like, look, I got the same. Like it

458
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: was really like I had to be on my best

459
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 5: behavior role model mentality because these girls really did look

460
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 5: up to me as like their older sister.

461
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, I love like I'm trying to

462
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 2: be the opposite of room, like you guys are all

463
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: trying to be like Brooke.

464
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 3: But no, definitely, I know.

465
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: I mean even now, I'm one of four, and I

466
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: think the biggest blessing is having sisters. And because no

467
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: matter what you even now, I'm sure as you guys

468
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: you know you're older now and just how much you

469
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 1: guys do for each other, how much you rely on

470
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: each other when you're younger, you don't see that. I'm

471
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: even watching real houses in New Jersey right now. From

472
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: the beginning, never thought I would ever do that in

473
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: my life, but I'm like, okay, I'm twenty five now

474
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: I feel like now it is an appropriate time to

475
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: really watch everything.

476
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: And the biggest.

477
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: Blessing was seeing the scenes from when my sisters and

478
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: I were younger, because it's kind of like we have

479
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: home home videos now of our family.

480
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: But it's crazy to see.

481
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: How nasty I was sometimes to my sister, but I'm

482
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: like to all of them, and but that was real,

483
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: Like that was just younger siblings fighting and just getting

484
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: mad over the littlest things going through your awkward teenage years.

485
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: Like everything was so real and like that's how siblings are.

486
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: But then as you guys get older, I'm sure you guys, yes,

487
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: you fight, but not to the extent of like how

488
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: you were when you were younger.

489
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, my mom always said you're gonna be

490
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 5: best friends one day.

491
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: Oh always.

492
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the famous line, but absolutely not.

493
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: And now we're like, okay, I guess you were right, mom.

494
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the reason why you two quit dance Moms?

495
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, I would say that for both of us when

496
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: we were younger, since we started the show, we were

497
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: really adamant about getting off of it, Like I would say,

498
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: as grateful as we are now. Back in the day,

499
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: it was kind of hard to see the silver lining,

500
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: and we were kind of like wanting to be regular

501
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: kids and go to.

502
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 4: The football games and stuff. So I think it was

503
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 4: a little bit harder back then. Yeah, I don't think.

504
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 5: On the show, it showed us at the studio and

505
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 5: traveling every weekend for competitions, but what wasn't shown was

506
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 5: everything that we were missing, Like we missed so much school,

507
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 5: Like those were prime years where we were making friends,

508
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: and we were missing the football games. We were missing

509
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 5: homecoming and proms and just spending time with our friends

510
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: after school. And for us too in particular, a lot

511
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 5: of the other girls really didn't mind.

512
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 4: They actually opted for homeschool and cyber school and.

513
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 5: Things of that nature, whereas we still went to public

514
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 5: school and that was one thing that was very important

515
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 5: to us. So yeah, there came a point in time

516
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 5: where we were like, we can't do this anymore, like

517
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 5: we want to be normal kids.

518
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

519
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: That being said, obviously we were in contract, so we

520
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: didn't really have the excuse just to be like, oh,

521
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: we don't want to.

522
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 4: Be on here anymore.

523
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: Bye.

524
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 2: So the initial reason I would say we left was

525
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: the big fight with my mom and Abby that got

526
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: taken to court and that was kind of our way

527
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: to break our contract and actually get out of.

528
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 4: It, but it went a lot deeper.

529
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would say, but that was kind of

530
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: just you couldn't tell on the show that we were

531
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: already mentally exhausted and we're very ready to.

532
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 4: Get out of the environment.

533
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, definitely, But then that core case was.

534
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Kind of like, what let you guys get out? Yes,

535
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: kind of a blessing in disguise, I guess then, right.

536
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean my youngest sister, Audriana, she obviously was not

537
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: on a dance reality TV show, but she was a

538
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: competitive dancer where I saw it took up her whole life.

539
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: I did it when I was younger too, but I

540
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: kind of like explored. I did competitive gymnastics, then I

541
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: went to competitive dance, and then I went to competitive cheerleading,

542
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: and that's what I ended off, so like that, that's

543
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: what I like, That's what I ended with in high

544
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: school was competitive cheerleading. And I was a cheerleader for

545
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: my high school and it was so fun. But Adrianna

546
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: kind of had the same realization as you guys, where

547
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: she loved to dance and it was her passion and

548
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: it was so sad even for our family to see

549
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: her stop dancing. But going into her freshman year of

550
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: high school, she was like, I feel so left out

551
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: and I just feel like I'm not with my friend,

552
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm not doing the things that I should be doing,

553
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: And that was what made her quit dance ultimately too.

554
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like that's a common thing like that.

555
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: Our mom used to dance, and she went through the

556
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 2: same thing where she quit for cheerleading.

557
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: And I just think when you get to that age,

558
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 4: you're so.

559
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: Invested in it, but then you get to high school

560
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: and there's all these fun things and you don't want

561
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: to miss out on opportunity. As much as your dream

562
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: might have been danced at one point, you also don't

563
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: want to miss out on what your friends are doing

564
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 2: and stuff. So I think that happened.

565
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 5: You said you wanted to try new things, like we

566
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 5: wanted to try new things too. I wanted to try

567
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 5: cheer and I wanted to do gymnastics. She ended up

568
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: trying volleyball and track, But like.

569
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: How did that go? Oh my god, that's so funny.

570
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: Audriana did volleyball going into her freshman year, and she

571
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: was like that was the worst experience of my life,

572
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: Like she was terrible.

573
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: I'm volleyball.

574
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: I will say, I actually really liked it.

575
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: I'm so good, definitely a.

576
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: Bench former, but I actually have a lot of fun.

577
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: But I think it was because it was such a

578
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: different environment, Like this was after I start, so I

579
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: was like, didn't know if I wanted to do anything else,

580
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: but I was like, you know what, like this is

581
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: my only chance to like try another sport before it's

582
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 2: too late. So I did it, and I don't know,

583
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: kind of like getting another group together, Like my volleyball

584
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: team was like not my regular friend group, so I

585
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: met like a whole different group of girls, and I

586
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: don't know, it was fun to like try something different.

587
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: Going back to what you guys were saying, like was

588
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: it hard to watch Abby and your mom go through

589
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: that argument?

590
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 4: Yes, I would say it was very hard.

591
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: I actually say this when I watched that clip back

592
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: now that you could tell how hard it was. Because

593
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: I was usually the crier and Brooke would just like

594
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: just be sitting there kind of motionless.

595
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 4: It was opposite during this fight.

596
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: Brooke was really crying and I was kind of just

597
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: in shock, and I feel like that's how you could

598
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: tell that this was something different because we've never had

599
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: a physical fight like that.

600
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: But I think my mom in Abby's history goes back

601
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: very far, and she was someone who was not just

602
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: a dance teacher to us. She was like a.

603
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: Mother figure, like she taught us how does spin our

604
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: spaghetti on our forks? Like she taught us so many things.

605
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: So to see that dynamic.

606
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,959
Speaker 5: To see two very important people in our lives physically, like,

607
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 5: I just never thought that it would get to that point,

608
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 5: I guess, so it's extra hard to watch trust. And

609
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: I also think, like deep down I knew that that

610
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 5: was like it like that was the end.

611
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm assuming you guys do not keep in contact

612
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: with Abby. No, Yeah, and that's not even a point

613
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: of interest at all.

614
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.

615
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 5: I'm not against the idea of talking to her, but

616
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 5: I think she she has me blocked, so yes, but yeah, no,

617
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 5: I'm not against it either.

618
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: I think I have like no grudges on anything, Like

619
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: I feel like for me to get over things, I

620
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: have to like not hold grudges. So I would be

621
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: open to having a conversation and just kind of no,

622
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: I might be like scared.

623
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: Do you think that would be like healing?

624
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that would be like maybe healing for

625
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: you for some of the anger that like maybe you

626
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: still have for the way that she treated you.

627
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: Guys, I think I think our relationship with Abby was

628
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: very different than the other girl's relationship with her. I

629
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: think we had more of like a family dynamic, Like

630
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 2: she was at my communion and she was like in

631
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: the hospital you book over right over, and like she

632
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: was a very big part of our lives. So I

633
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: do think to sit down with her compared to like

634
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 2: the other girls would be different. And I kind of

635
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: would like to talk about before the show and like

636
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: how we even.

637
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: Got to this point. Honestly, Yeah, so I do. I

638
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 4: think it would be very therapeutic.

639
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we started dancing there when we were two

640
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: years old, so we had and before that my mom

641
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: so long not history.

642
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, yeah, that is a long line of mytory

643
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: with your castmates. Obviously you all are wildly successful post show,

644
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: and you guys all you know, have your own image,

645
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: your own careers and everything. Did you ever feel like

646
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: especially maybe I would say probably more so, I'm sure

647
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: now not as much, but maybe when you guys parted

648
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: ways from the show, did you ever feel that there

649
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: was ever sort of a competition between you guys, like

650
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: who landed the most gigs, who got more when post show? Like,

651
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: did you guys ever feel that sense of competitiveness?

652
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 2: I personally did not, And I think back to what

653
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 2: we were saying when we got off the show. We

654
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: were excited to be normal kids. I went to college,

655
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: Paige went to college, like we took Actually, I guess

656
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: most of the girls did go to college, but like we,

657
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: social media and like those kind of opportunities were even

658
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: really on our radar at the time.

659
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 5: I think we were just being normal college. I actually

660
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 5: had a corporate job post college. I worked in the

661
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 5: influencer marketing field for I want to say four years.

662
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: So I'm awesome. So you know how to manage everything

663
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: on the back end.

664
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 5: And I enjoyed that. That's what I wanted. And I

665
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 5: was doing social media a little.

666
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: Bit on the side at the time, and then I

667
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: was like, wow, there I should be taking advantage of

668
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: this platform I have, so I started doing it full

669
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: time and yeah, but I don't think I ever looked

670
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: at it as a competition because I was really happy

671
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: with what I was doing and where I was at,

672
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: and it was just a completely different path than a

673
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 2: lot of the girls took. Yeah, I also think when

674
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: we got off the show, all the girls were still

675
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: on there, so they were filming and traveling, and I

676
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: think because we were just getting out of that environment,

677
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: it was kind of like, let's distance ourselves from that.

678
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: And I think there was a bit of time where

679
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: we didn't really talk to a lot of the girls

680
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: on the show because I think we just needed a

681
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: little bit of space, and I think we were just

682
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: focused on being regular kids.

683
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 4: That's why I was like, what can I do? Go

684
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: to volleyball?

685
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: Like yeah, literally, it was just probably it was probably

686
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: just refreshing, like yeah, no, but.

687
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: It is really cool to see what everyone is doing,

688
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: like everyone some people are acting, some people are singing,

689
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: like it's I think some people when la some people

690
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,479
Speaker 2: went to college, and I think there was no judgment

691
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 2: on whatever anyone wanted to do. I think everyone had

692
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: their own experience and wanted to create their own path.

693
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it worked out for the best.

694
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: But before I get into this, I just want to

695
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: say I'm so happy that your mom is doing okay.

696
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: And I'm so sorry for everything that you guys had

697
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: to go through over these past two years. But I

698
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: know in twenty twenty four your mom was diagnosed with

699
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: breast cancer and she finished her treatments in twenty twenty five,

700
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: but then she had open heart surgery. How is she

701
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: doing today?

702
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: She's doing okay. She had a very hard year.

703
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 2: She's still not one hundred percent after her open heart surgery.

704
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: I know, you're supposed to be like fully better after

705
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: she had two strokes within two weeks of each other

706
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: and then had pneumonia, so that really made things complicated.

707
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: So she's still on the road to recovery.

708
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 2: I know they say it could take a whole year

709
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: up until that last thing, so since that pneumonia could

710
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: take another year for her to start feeling her best again,

711
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: we appreciate it.

712
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, she's hanging in there.

713
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: No strong, strong lady. Let me tell.

714
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 5: You a lot easy. And then she has a smile

715
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 5: on her face like she and that.

716
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: Is to make sure that like you girls are okay.

717
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, she always just probably wants to radiate happiness to

718
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: you guys and strength.

719
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: Because you guys are the you guys are the ones

720
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: that keep her going.

721
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: On top of all that, she lived in Florida, so

722
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: she's really not used to the cold. But she had

723
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: to move back to Pittsburgh because of her health insurance.

724
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: So on top of all this, the move and all

725
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: of that, she's been living out of this pace for

726
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: two years.

727
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm happy she's on the roads to recovery.

728
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: So now I'm assuming she's, you know, on her five

729
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: years of her mission from breast cancer.

730
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: Yes, yep.

731
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: What advice do you have for other kids out there

732
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: who have parents who are sick or who are going

733
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: through maybe a similar situation.

734
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: Just be there for them as much as you can,

735
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: not only for them, but for your own sake. I

736
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: think it was actually just saying it was, as much

737
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: as it sucks, it was a blessing in disguise that

738
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: this happened that my mom had, like her insurance was

739
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh, that she had come home because then she

740
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: was forced to be around her family.

741
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: And I was like, as much.

742
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: As it sucks for going through this, I'm glad you

743
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 2: at least have us to be there. Yeah, brought her home,

744
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 2: so yeah, I would agree, be their distraction honestly, like,

745
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: spend so much time with them that they don't like,

746
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: they put that to the back of their mind. We

747
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: would go and play cards with her and things like that.

748
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: The wedding also huge distraction. Appointments and being the hospitals there,

749
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 2: so just be there even if you're not doing anything.

750
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 4: Just to talk to comfort. Yeah.

751
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you both look up to your mom in

752
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: many aspects of your life? Like what traits of hers

753
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: do you try to embody the most?

754
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: Definitely her strength. Yeah, I heard this whole conversation.

755
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: She's definitely the strongest woman I know and always has been,

756
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: even outside of her diagnosis and all of that, Like

757
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: you can see it on the show. She was always

758
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: standing up for us no matter what. Yeah. I think

759
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: on the reunion when she said something to us like

760
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: we're having a her t heart, and I remember being like,

761
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: if I was in your position, I would be the

762
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: exact same way you are, Like the way she was

763
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: such a mother bearer protecting us, Like it was never

764
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 2: just her fighting out of nowhere, it was her needing

765
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: to stick up for us and always being the best mom.

766
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: So I hope to follow her shoes and be able

767
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 2: to defend my kids the way that she defended us.

768
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Do you guys have anything exciting coming up that you

769
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: can share with the audience.

770
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 4: My sister's getting married.

771
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: You could have had no time about anything other than that,

772
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 2: Like after that, maybe we'll start getting into some other things.

773
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: But that's been like the top of my mind.

774
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: You just had a big collab too, though recently, right

775
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: page or was that both of you for the blush

776
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: am I oh yes.

777
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: Our color pop blush and we did with Lulu's which

778
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: was really.

779
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: Fun, amazing. I'm so happy for you guys.

780
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: Well, weddings approaching, so many exciting things. But thank you

781
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: guys so much for coming on casual chaos.

782
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: Of course, thank you. Yes,
