Speaker 1: This is he said, aav HO with Eric Winter and
Speaker 1: Rosalind Fantaz. Hello, Hello, welcome to another episode, he said.
Speaker 1: Ad Oh, well it's he said again, because my wife
Speaker 1: is still out of town, so there's no aav ho
Speaker 1: and this one yet again another host chat solo. But
Speaker 1: you know what, this has been a great time for
Speaker 1: me to be able to answer a lot of listener
Speaker 1: questions directed towards me. And I know we've been getting
Speaker 1: hundreds of questions coming in from all you listeners, and
Speaker 1: we truly appreciate it. We always love your support. You know,
Speaker 1: It's been very interesting because the kids are gone now too. Now.
Speaker 1: The good thing is I've been working like crazy on
Speaker 1: the Rookie. We can say that Bradford is very heavy.
Speaker 1: In the first three episodes. There's a lot of Bradford content,
Speaker 1: but it's weird now because the kids are gone and
Speaker 1: I got this whole house to myself two weekends in
Speaker 1: a row now. Although I was supposed to go this
Speaker 1: last weekend to visit Roslin and the kids in Puerto Rico,
Speaker 1: and then this whole Microsoft outage happened and it affected
Speaker 1: my flight. Thankfully, before I eve been headed to the airport,
Speaker 1: but I left from work. I was gonna catch a
Speaker 1: red eye. My flight got delayed. I was going to
Speaker 1: miss my connection. Then I would have who knows when
Speaker 1: I would have landed in Puerto Rico. And then we
Speaker 1: have a friend in Puerto Rico right now that was
Speaker 1: trying to get out around the time I would be
Speaker 1: getting out, and her flight got pushed, so she's now
Speaker 1: stuck in Puerto Rico another week. So thankfully I didn't
Speaker 1: take that flight, because had I had taken that flight,
Speaker 1: I would have probably in a lot of trouble with
Speaker 1: the rookie. So that all worked out. But now I'm
Speaker 1: board at home, and it's really weird, you know. In
Speaker 1: one way, it's kind of relaxing. I have this, you know,
Speaker 1: house to myself. I'm in the pool, i'm chilling, I'm
Speaker 1: doing a lot of Palm Republic work. But it's also
Speaker 1: very strange having a completely quiet household, and I don't
Speaker 1: know the last time that we've had that, where the
Speaker 1: kids are with Roz and I'm just solo for two weeks,
Speaker 1: which is so bizarre. And then the kids fly back
Speaker 1: and then I go to where to Reco to do
Speaker 1: a part in Rosland's movie which is gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll get to do an episode out there
Speaker 1: while I'm in town filming, which would be nice. But
Speaker 1: Palm Republic occupied my entire weekend. One of my favorite cocktails.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. On these, I've been a lot
Speaker 1: of hot summer days here in California and Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: But you know, we are making We're having this mission
Speaker 1: of bringing back the classic Cuban dacrie. Now, I know
Speaker 1: most people think of a dacri and they think, oh,
Speaker 1: sugar and super sweet, and that's what we all are
Speaker 1: familiar with, these strawberry dacries that are like blended and
Speaker 1: crushed ice and very very sweet and sugary. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of people know the classic
Speaker 1: Cuban doctrie. We're gonna have this little history blog on
Speaker 1: the website on the Palm Republic page. But it's three ingredients.
Speaker 1: It's just fresh lime, add Palm Republic rum, put in
Speaker 1: a little simple syrup, and then you put it over ice,
Speaker 1: shake it until the shaker's cold, and you have the
Speaker 1: pull one of the best, most refreshing, simple drinks with
Speaker 1: way less sugar than all this added blended stuff that
Speaker 1: we're like I said, we're so used to when you
Speaker 1: think of traditional rum drinks, so that's something very fun
Speaker 1: that we're trying to bring back. Is the classic Cuban
Speaker 1: docri and also my all time favorite with the age
Speaker 1: drum is in old fashion. I love our Palmer Public
Speaker 1: old fashion. It is so good. But it's been great.
Speaker 1: A lot of customers have been receiving their bottles and
Speaker 1: I've been posting on social media. It's been so awesome
Speaker 1: to see the feedback and the reviews. And now we
Speaker 1: have some bunch of gifting boxes going out. We might
Speaker 1: do some special giveaways with customers getting their own gifting
Speaker 1: boxes that have some merch inside. And then we have
Speaker 1: our merch launching on the website here very soon. Grab
Speaker 1: a hat, grab a shirt. So it's been a lot
Speaker 1: of fun, a lot of fun, very time consuming. Building
Speaker 1: a brand or a company, I should say, is a
Speaker 1: lot of work, but very rewarding at the same time.
Speaker 1: Anybody out there who's doing it, I feel you. I
Speaker 1: understand it now. Being an entrepreneur is no joke, but
Speaker 1: it is very rewarding as you start to see customers happy.
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at with palb Republic. I know
Speaker 1: Roz's first day of filming is today. She's having a
Speaker 1: blast on the movie. It's finally going well. They've had
Speaker 1: a lot of ups and downs with cast and just
Speaker 1: locations and getting things locked up. But now that they
Speaker 1: are in production, I know today is going super smooth.
Speaker 1: So she is over the moon and I'm very happy
Speaker 1: for her because it's been hard. It's not easy when
Speaker 1: your wife has gone for so long, and we've done
Speaker 1: this before. Fantasy Island was very tough. She was gone
Speaker 1: for four and a half months. That was brutal. The
Speaker 1: kids barely saw her. I saw her less than the kids.
Speaker 1: It's hard. This is going to be almost two months.
Speaker 1: And when things don't go right, you know who's your
Speaker 1: sounding board, your sounding board or your partner, your spouse,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it gets challenging, especially with long distance. So
Speaker 1: I feel for her. I know it's been a lot,
Speaker 1: but I'm so proud of her and I'm so happy
Speaker 1: it's all coming together. Now, let me get to some
Speaker 1: listener questions at Lily May Todd. I have a bucket list,
Speaker 1: you know, I do have a bucket list, and there
Speaker 1: are quite a few things I would like to do.
Speaker 1: Two of them that really stand out, and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to hit one of them from my fiftieth. I want
Speaker 1: to go to Japan. I really want to go to Japan.
Speaker 1: I want to go on a safari in South Africa.
Speaker 1: And I want to go cage diving with great white sharks.
Speaker 1: I really want to do that in South Africa. Like
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I am obsessed with trying
Speaker 1: to get into a cage and see what it's like
Speaker 1: underwater with great whites coming at you. I yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: call it crazy, but it's something I really want to do,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Those are the two bucket list things
Speaker 1: that come off dump my head right away. But that's
Speaker 1: uh yeah, one seems realistic and the other one seems
Speaker 1: crazy at it's a ya fair brother. What is your
Speaker 1: favorite song genre of music now? And what was it
Speaker 1: growing up? So growing up? I mean I've always I
Speaker 1: listened to everything I always do, but given where I
Speaker 1: grew up, I was big and hip hop and R
Speaker 1: and B. I loved it. I went through like that
Speaker 1: eighties metal stage as well. Like my first concert ever
Speaker 1: was bon Jovi Slipper when Wet when I was in
Speaker 1: fifth grade. That was my first concert. Then I saw
Speaker 1: Guns and Roses, I saw you know, Cinderella, skid Row,
Speaker 1: all of them, Pantera. I was big into that metal
Speaker 1: phase for a while, but I also love hip hop
Speaker 1: and uh just classic rap from back then, eighties, nineties
Speaker 1: all that. Now it's still pretty much a lot of
Speaker 1: the same. Although what's weird in my older age now
Speaker 1: is I'm listening to more country. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I'm a country music fan, because I'm not sure that
Speaker 1: I am. But I like the direction of where country
Speaker 1: has been going lately. Maybe it's a little bit more pop.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I like it. But like Morgan Wallen,
Speaker 1: I like him. I like his music, Shaboozi that song,
Speaker 1: you know, Tipsy bar song, great song. And there's some
Speaker 1: other country artists I do like as well, But I
Speaker 1: think that crossover, like Morgan wall is doing a lot
Speaker 1: with hip hop in the country, it's it's making me
Speaker 1: like that genre a bit more. At me, how does
Speaker 1: your routine change when Roz is away? So I'd say
Speaker 1: I'm a bit more. You know, Roz is very I'm
Speaker 1: a neat freak as well, but Roz is like super
Speaker 1: neat freak, especially when it comes to the house. So
Speaker 1: I'm a little more lax at putting things away right away,
Speaker 1: but I'm not messy. I just do it my way
Speaker 1: when she's gone, and I mean now with the kid's gone,
Speaker 1: I've actually slept in a little bit, which isn't much
Speaker 1: for me, but like sleeping in a little longer and
Speaker 1: now just taking care of myself, Jim and trying to
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm not working, because I've been working
Speaker 1: like crazy, but finding a way to decompress. And also,
Speaker 1: like I said, keep busy on Palm Republic. But it's
Speaker 1: I'm still telling you it's weird. It is weird not
Speaker 1: having the noise of the kids. Stay Dad, Dad dah,
Speaker 1: come play with me. Let's do this, Let's do like constantly.
Speaker 1: It's such a trip. Let's see at K and E
Speaker 1: cheek boutique, chic boutique. I should say, any plans to
Speaker 1: do another Hallmark movie? You know, Roz and I haven't
Speaker 1: done a movie together in a long time, although we're
Speaker 1: gonna do her movie Diaudio here when I go, but
Speaker 1: she's not acting in it. I don't think we have
Speaker 1: any plans to do another Hallmark movie at the moment.
Speaker 1: But I would like to do a movie together. Again.
Speaker 1: I got to figure out what that's going to be.
Speaker 1: If it's going to be on you know, a TV movie,
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be an actual movie. I got a
Speaker 1: movie on you know, not on TV. I should say
Speaker 1: not like an that there are also movies too, but
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like when they we're trying
Speaker 1: to sell in theaters. But no, no plans at the moment.
Speaker 1: We'll see if one comes up anytime, you know, in
Speaker 1: the near future, we might think about it. If we're
Speaker 1: doing it together, let's see at SJ Exclusive. How do
Speaker 1: you maintain your principles and morals in your marriage when
Speaker 1: society seems to be changing in that area. Do you
Speaker 1: think when it comes to dating the right person, you'll
Speaker 1: find you will find someone you or you should make
Speaker 1: a strong move to make that connection. Okay, great question.
Speaker 1: How do we maintain our morals? I think that is
Speaker 1: something that's part of who you are, you know, in general,
Speaker 1: whether you're in entertainment business or you're not the entertainment business.
Speaker 1: I have very strong morals when it comes to my marriage,
Speaker 1: and I know Roslin does as well. And that's the
Speaker 1: partner I found. I have very strong morals. I know
Speaker 1: Rosin does as well. That's how we were sort of
Speaker 1: raised and what we want in our lives even before
Speaker 1: we met. So for us, it's not that difficult to
Speaker 1: maintain those morals even though we're in the business that
Speaker 1: we are in. Our marriage is a top priority to
Speaker 1: each of us and our family is number one, and
Speaker 1: so for us, those morals became, you know, become just
Speaker 1: normal part of life. Like we respect each other immensely.
Speaker 1: We treat each other, you know, as we each would
Speaker 1: like to be treated, and we have a ton of
Speaker 1: love for each other. And it's just important that our
Speaker 1: marriage is intact and put first above everything else, even
Speaker 1: as we're navigating work and other challenges. So it is
Speaker 1: some thing that I think, regardless of what society might
Speaker 1: be doing, it's for us. It just comes back to
Speaker 1: our roots and our home base of how we think.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to dating, finding the person that's
Speaker 1: right for you, or going out there and pursuing to
Speaker 1: make that connection, that's a tough one because in today's society,
Speaker 1: people aren't really out dating as much as like when
Speaker 1: I was. It's so easy now with all these apps
Speaker 1: to meet people. However, I would say finding that real
Speaker 1: connection still takes that, you know, one on one interaction
Speaker 1: and in person. So I think you know, you have
Speaker 1: all these tools to connect with somebody at least to
Speaker 1: break the ice not being face to face. However, I
Speaker 1: think that's it as service, because I think it really
Speaker 1: comes to putting in that work face to face. Should
Speaker 1: you go out there and chase it? I think it's
Speaker 1: I think love is something that's going to come to
Speaker 1: you and find. It's you know, find you on its own.
Speaker 1: I don't know that's something you can force or make
Speaker 1: a strong move to find. I think if you're single
Speaker 1: and you're you're looking to meet a person, have to
Speaker 1: be kind of active with going out, whether you're actively
Speaker 1: searching on your dating apps and then going out, or
Speaker 1: you're just going out with friends and trying to do
Speaker 1: it the old fashioned way and just meet someone. I
Speaker 1: think you have to be actively putting yourself in the
Speaker 1: space to meet someone. But I don't think you should
Speaker 1: be pushing yourself on anybody. It's going to happen naturally.
Speaker 1: Anything forced to me just seems to fall apart or
Speaker 1: not turn out to be genuine or the intentions of
Speaker 1: what the other person wants might not line up with yours.
Speaker 1: So you know, everybody's got their own reason of why
Speaker 1: they want to hook up, so you got to make
Speaker 1: sure you do it the smart way. Make sure it's
Speaker 1: not about the physical hookup and make sure that there's
Speaker 1: a personal connection and somebody you can really get to know.
Speaker 1: Unless you're looking just to have fun, then do whatever
Speaker 1: you want at being I decided how to say this one.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite topic we've spoken about on
Speaker 1: the podcast. I don't know if I have a favorite topic.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've covered so many great things on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I would say whenever we've talked to out things where
Speaker 1: we learned something together as a couple. Those are some
Speaker 1: of my favorites. Financial things that we've gone over on
Speaker 1: the podcast, even as it relates to marriage or intimacy,
Speaker 1: I think that stuff has been great. We've learned a lot.
Speaker 1: Even the life coaches and the nutritional things that we've
Speaker 1: had featured on our podcast have been great. So I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it. I'm all about constantly trying
Speaker 1: to I love self help. I love trying to improve myself.
Speaker 1: So any of those things where I gain knowledge from
Speaker 1: have been a lot of fun. For me personally as
Speaker 1: topics that we can cover at Kristin Kiggs. Is there
Speaker 1: a co star early in your career that you're still
Speaker 1: friends with? So I have quite a few co stars
Speaker 1: I'm still friends with, but one in particular, Matt Sadaniel,
Speaker 1: who is on Days of our Lives with me in
Speaker 1: the very beginning, but we knew each other even before Days.
Speaker 1: He was the best man at my wedding. I mean,
Speaker 1: Matt and I are still very close friends today. I'm
Speaker 1: not super tight with a lot of people from Days anymore,
Speaker 1: but if I see them, we catch up. Everything's great
Speaker 1: eight And that's the same way with with what you know.
Speaker 1: I spoke to a friend just by text recently. dB Woodside,
Speaker 1: a great actor, was on Lucifer. We're good buddies. We
Speaker 1: haven't caught up in a while, but we just texted today.
Speaker 1: Funny enough, I've known him since my first pilot ever,
Speaker 1: Viva Laughlin, which I have to admit I was so funny.
Speaker 1: We became good friends. But I was so starstruck when
Speaker 1: I saw him because I was a huge fan of
Speaker 1: twenty four and he was the president after Dennis Haysburg.
Speaker 1: He was Dennis's brother and he became president, and so
Speaker 1: I was so obsessed with working with him and calling
Speaker 1: him mister President because I love that show so much. Anyways, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I do have a handful of friends, and
Speaker 1: it's super important to me keeping those relationships intact. But
Speaker 1: as the years go on, it's tough. You know, it's
Speaker 1: tough to maintain those connections. You know, everybody's busy with
Speaker 1: so many things kids nowadays, like most of my friends
Speaker 1: all have children, and it takes up a lot of time.
Speaker 1: Let's see, I any jealousy with Jane. Roz and I.
Speaker 1: With filming, we've been pretty good, you know. Overall, I
Speaker 1: think Roz and I have had a very clear understanding
Speaker 1: of what this business is and what it brings out
Speaker 1: in a person, because it's challenging. We have love scenes
Speaker 1: and you know, love interests and various shows or movies.
Speaker 1: I would see in the beginning of our relationship, I
Speaker 1: was probably a bit more of the one that could
Speaker 1: get jealous at times or get a little bit I
Speaker 1: just didn't like it. I didn't like watching the love scenes.
Speaker 1: I don't like watching I still don't like watching it.
Speaker 1: I mean, if she's got if she has to kiss
Speaker 1: somebody or she has a love scene. I don't really
Speaker 1: care if I see it. I don't need to watch
Speaker 1: that scene. I don't have to watch the episode. I
Speaker 1: don't care. I'd rather just not know about it. Let
Speaker 1: her do her thing, and she's working and it is
Speaker 1: what it is. I trust her, and I'd say it's reciprocated.
Speaker 1: You know, she feels very comfortable with who I am,
Speaker 1: and she doesn't really like to watch that stuff either,
Speaker 1: and she knows us part of the job, so we
Speaker 1: balance the jealousy part of it pretty well. But you know, look,
Speaker 1: it's not comfortable. It's not easy for people in this business.
Speaker 1: That's why you see so many people go through breakups
Speaker 1: and people struggle in this business because when you're off
Speaker 1: doing a movie, you're doing a TV show, and you're
Speaker 1: gone for months at a time, and then you have
Speaker 1: a love interest, a romantic partner that you're you know,
Speaker 1: even though everything's totally neutralized when you're on set and
Speaker 1: it's not it's not like anybody's really having fun. It's
Speaker 1: not that kind of environment. But it's easy for your
Speaker 1: partner to be uncomfortable with that setting because they're not there,
Speaker 1: they're not part of it, and I'm not not that
Speaker 1: they want to be part of it like in a group,
Speaker 1: but I mean they're not. They're not witnessing or on set.
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not They're available in order for you
Speaker 1: to feel for them to feel safe and comfortable in
Speaker 1: the situation. And so I think that distance adds a
Speaker 1: big factor. If it's you know, if you're having love
Speaker 1: scenes or you have romantic partners and there's distance involved
Speaker 1: as well with your with your spouse, that makes it
Speaker 1: more challenging. If they're obviously in town and you come
Speaker 1: home to that person, it's a little bit easier, but
Speaker 1: we balance it out, I think pretty well, you know
Speaker 1: overall with the jealousy factor. Have I ever worked with
Speaker 1: a co star that is different in real life than
Speaker 1: they are on set? One time, and I won't say
Speaker 1: who that, I worked with a co star who decided
Speaker 1: and I don't think she is generally a method actress,
Speaker 1: but she decided I was doing the show, and she
Speaker 1: decided she was going to be a method for this
Speaker 1: this new season. I don't think she was even on
Speaker 1: the first season. But it's funny because for people who
Speaker 1: don't know what method acting is, it's like when an
Speaker 1: actor really tries to be the character all the time,
Speaker 1: not just when they're on set, when they're in the
Speaker 1: makeup trailer, when they're walking around on set, when they're
Speaker 1: at their chair waiting to go on set, when you
Speaker 1: see them coming into work, they are that character. That's
Speaker 1: method acting. I don't operate that way. You know. I
Speaker 1: get very focused and serious if I have a heavy
Speaker 1: scene or certain thing going on, or a character I'm
Speaker 1: trying to master. But I don't walk around trying to
Speaker 1: be Tim Bradford. I don't walk around as my character
Speaker 1: all the time. So one time on this show, this
Speaker 1: one actress definitely walked in and I thought it was
Speaker 1: kind of ironic because she walked in and letting us
Speaker 1: all know that she was going to be staying in character.
Speaker 1: Which is weird because when you're a method actor, you
Speaker 1: don't really care about what people think. You just walk
Speaker 1: in and you just are and people just have to
Speaker 1: accept it. They're gonna work with you, and that's what
Speaker 1: they say. Jim Carrey did on A Man on the Moon.
Speaker 1: You know, he or Val Kilmer and plain Jim Morrison,
Speaker 1: he walked around as that person. So you just have
Speaker 1: to deal with the actor knowing that they are going
Speaker 1: to be the character, and you don't talk to them
Speaker 1: as you don't refer to them as their name, you
Speaker 1: don't interact with them as you would themselves. You just talk.
Speaker 1: You don't even talk to them, really, So it was
Speaker 1: weird when this actress did this. It's kind of set
Speaker 1: a weird tone because she wasn't like that originally. Then
Speaker 1: she decided she was gonna be like that and told
Speaker 1: everybody she was going to do it. So we kind
Speaker 1: of got a laugh out of it at first, and
Speaker 1: then we all had to manage it and just understand
Speaker 1: that she's going to go through her process and we're
Speaker 1: going to respect it, and you know, I just sort
Speaker 1: of steer clear of people like that. I try not
Speaker 1: to really invest much time or energy in it because
Speaker 1: it gets too confusing. Like I can't be calling you,
Speaker 1: you know, your character's name, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: your name, and I'd just rather be told what to
Speaker 1: do and act in the scene and treat them leave
Speaker 1: them alone. You know, if I'm not hanging out with
Speaker 1: their character in real life, then I don't really hang
Speaker 1: out with them off set, so they can be who
Speaker 1: they are and we come on set and we shoot,
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I would deal with it.
Speaker 1: But it is a weird thing to have to manage
Speaker 1: when you're on set and he's kind of kind of
Speaker 1: figured out. Give them their space and respect it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a good question. Does the Chenford fandom ever become overwhelming?
Speaker 1: You know? I you know, I love our rookie fandom.
Speaker 1: I love or I say it all the time. We
Speaker 1: would not be having the success we're having in what
Speaker 1: we're going into seven seasons now if it wasn't for
Speaker 1: this rookie fandom. And there's no question that the relationship
Speaker 1: between Tim and Lucy has become a major focal point
Speaker 1: on the show, There's no question, and that's all fan driven.
Speaker 1: I think the fans that support that relationship are incredible.
Speaker 1: The fandom is massive, The fandom has what is driving
Speaker 1: that storyline so strongly. The fandom is driving that storyline
Speaker 1: so strongly and really bringing it to life and bringing
Speaker 1: all these colors to it because the writers pay attention.
Speaker 1: The only time I'd say it ever gets a little
Speaker 1: overwhelming is if you know there are fans on social
Speaker 1: media that really can't separate the acting from my personal life,
Speaker 1: and when I think that bleeds into my personal life,
Speaker 1: then it's a little weird. You know, Like if my
Speaker 1: wife posts a picture and it's our anniversary and it's
Speaker 1: like a picture of us and they the fans, basically
Speaker 1: say you should be with Lucy, Well, no, I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be with Lucy. I'm married. This is my wife. Like
Speaker 1: you're breaking that that reality you know from what is TV,
Speaker 1: and that that is very That can be difficult at
Speaker 1: times when people don't respect that boundary. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, they might not even know I'm married,
Speaker 1: they might not even know the truth of what's behind it.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I ask fans
Speaker 1: to sort of take a step back and think about it, Like, look,
Speaker 1: if it's all if it's regarding the show, you're all in.
Speaker 1: But if it's regarding personal life of an actor, you know,
Speaker 1: just respect and understand the personal relationship the actor might
Speaker 1: be in and put yourself in that position so you know,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to say something that would offend your
Speaker 1: spouse if you were in a relationship, or you wouldn't
Speaker 1: want somebody to say it about you or your partner.
Speaker 1: So at the same time, that's the only part that's
Speaker 1: probably challenging. But the fandom is incredible. Their support is incredible,
Speaker 1: and honestly, I'm so grateful for this show and to
Speaker 1: have the diehard support that we do have, because I
Speaker 1: think it's better than any other show on TV as
Speaker 1: far as our fandom goes. Have you ever had an
Speaker 1: out of body experience or a dream that felt so
Speaker 1: lucid that you thought it was real. I've never had
Speaker 1: an out of body experience, although I'm all for watching
Speaker 1: documentaries and shows about stuff like that. I find it
Speaker 1: fascinating and I fully believe that all that happens. I've
Speaker 1: had dreams, though, where I thought I was fully like dying, falling, floating, flying,
Speaker 1: any of these things. I've had dreams where I thought
Speaker 1: Roz did something that wronged me, like in a dream,
Speaker 1: and I've woke up so angry at her and so
Speaker 1: mad that I thought it was real, and it struggled.
Speaker 1: I struggled with it all day long till I get
Speaker 1: over the fact that it was just a dream, Like
Speaker 1: she didn't have an affair or she didn't do X
Speaker 1: Y and Z, and I was pissed at her all
Speaker 1: day long. So it's weird how it can mess with
Speaker 1: your mind like that. For sure, Do I feel fulfilled
Speaker 1: as an actor? One hundred percent. I am so happy
Speaker 1: with where I'm at in my career right now, the
Speaker 1: journey I've been on. You know, it's not easy. It
Speaker 1: is not easy being an actor, being a working actor
Speaker 1: for that matter, supporting my family and supporting the lifestyle
Speaker 1: I want being an actor. It's not It's very very difficult.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at our union, I think
Speaker 1: most of our union ninety probably ninety eight percent of
Speaker 1: our union's unemployed right now. So very thankful where I'm
Speaker 1: out of my career. And it also kind of leads
Speaker 1: into another question here, which is about the advice I
Speaker 1: would give myself in my twenties and my thirties and
Speaker 1: my twenties. When I got into this business, I was
Speaker 1: very impatient. I wanted everything to happen right now. I
Speaker 1: wanted to be a working actor right away. I wanted
Speaker 1: to make money right away. I wanted to have my
Speaker 1: own show right away. I never understood patients and how
Speaker 1: difficult it can be and how this business works. You know,
Speaker 1: I always understood the mind of an athlete. If I
Speaker 1: work hard, I'll succeed. If I train, I'll get better.
Speaker 1: If I'm better, I'll get hired. And that is not
Speaker 1: this business. That is not how this business works. It
Speaker 1: is totally subjective to who's going to work and who's
Speaker 1: going to get a job, and it is not it
Speaker 1: is not. This business is not truly based on talent.
Speaker 1: I mean, talent is obviously very important. If you don't
Speaker 1: have an ounce of talent, you'll definitely be called out
Speaker 1: and you won't work again. But there are plenty of
Speaker 1: great actors that are unemployed, and there are plenty of
Speaker 1: big actors out there that a lot of people would
Speaker 1: argue are not very good, they're just okay. So a
Speaker 1: lot of it's timing, Loko, who you know, and if
Speaker 1: it's meant for you, it's meant for you. So I
Speaker 1: would tell myself in my twenties to be patient and
Speaker 1: trust the journey, trust the process of everything I'm going through,
Speaker 1: and just continue to learn and absorb and be open
Speaker 1: to what might come your way instead of getting being frustrated.
Speaker 1: That's how I was in my twenties. I quit acting
Speaker 1: at one point because I was so frustrated with getting
Speaker 1: close and closer to jobs, and then not getting them,
Speaker 1: so I stopped acting. And I always wonder where I
Speaker 1: would have been in my career if I would have
Speaker 1: broken sooner had I not quit for like two years.
Speaker 1: Because it's two years off, you know, you're off the radar,
Speaker 1: you're not involved in auditions, you're not being talked about anymore.
Speaker 1: And I always wonder what would have happened had I
Speaker 1: stuck it out and been patient. And in my thirties,
Speaker 1: I would say my best advice would have been to
Speaker 1: myself is just take care of your body. Take care
Speaker 1: of your body, don't abuse it so much. I was
Speaker 1: still in my thirties abusing my body at the gym,
Speaker 1: trying to be doing stupid things, trying to be extra
Speaker 1: strong and extra thing like just breaking my body down.
Speaker 1: And here I am my forties, and I'm dealing with
Speaker 1: the aftermath of a lot of that, you know, where
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with pain in my back or issues that
Speaker 1: I have to I have to resolve or I have
Speaker 1: to live with because I was too abusive to my
Speaker 1: body early on, whether it was a sports or training,
Speaker 1: And that's super important. I think people just realize you
Speaker 1: need to take care of yourself. You have to your
Speaker 1: mental state, your physical state. You have to take care
Speaker 1: of yourself at Becky one two three five three three.
Speaker 1: Do I have any advice for someone who has been
Speaker 1: cheated on? Woo, If you've been cheated on, hmm, that's tough.
Speaker 1: I always, I always have been of the mindset and
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is the right advice, but for me,
Speaker 1: if someone cheated on me, I always like that they're
Speaker 1: not for me. This is not my person, it was
Speaker 1: not meant to be. Yeah, it stings, it's it sucks,
Speaker 1: for sure, But I have this ability of compartmentalizing and
Speaker 1: trying to move on quick and recognizing that like strike
Speaker 1: you strike three, you're out right away, and you're just
Speaker 1: not my partner. You're not the person I was meant
Speaker 1: to be with. So I move on. I move on.
Speaker 1: I get myself back out there, and I try and
Speaker 1: find someone who true is going to respect me and
Speaker 1: who's going to see me for who I am, and
Speaker 1: not someone who has the urge to go cheat on. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm not of for me. I've
Speaker 1: never been in that position where I've taken somebody back
Speaker 1: and I've tried to make it work and all that
Speaker 1: everybody's got a different reality when it comes to those
Speaker 1: you know, those situations if someone has an affair and
Speaker 1: they're married and they have kids, and you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know what caused the affair, but maybe there is
Speaker 1: reason or a potential to try to work it out.
Speaker 1: We've had experts on the show talk about that. But
Speaker 1: if it's just like a dating relationship and someone cheats
Speaker 1: to me, they're out, move on buying somebody new. And
Speaker 1: this going talking again about prioritizing mental health. This is
Speaker 1: something I just touched on a second ago. I think
Speaker 1: you have to prioritize your mental health and daily like
Speaker 1: for me, I try to remind myself of the things
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for, prayer, we have these different little like
Speaker 1: meditation things I'll listen to sometimes, try to unwind, call
Speaker 1: my mind and just try to take care of myself,
Speaker 1: bringing the stress down. You know, for me, it's about
Speaker 1: bringing stress down. If I'm too stressed out, everything goes wrong.
Speaker 1: So I try really hard to work on those things.
Speaker 1: At EBW Films, I want to know who this film
Speaker 1: company is. Is there a moment in your life that
Speaker 1: you draw motion from or when it comes to acting,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a couple of things. I Uh, I
Speaker 1: do draw a lot from my dad's passing. It was
Speaker 1: a heavy moment in my life for sure. Uh. And
Speaker 1: also the birth of my kids. Those two of the
Speaker 1: best moments in my life without it, without a doubt,
Speaker 1: So I draw a lot on those, uh, those moments
Speaker 1: that I can think of. My wedding day was also
Speaker 1: an incredible uh time in my life. And uh, I've
Speaker 1: had some big victories in my life as many as
Speaker 1: well as many failures. So I try to whatever it
Speaker 1: is I'm trying to get into for a scene or
Speaker 1: for a moment, I work on it and I bring
Speaker 1: those those things all together. Uh. This is a great question.
Speaker 1: Do I think that Bradford and Roz would ever be
Speaker 1: successful as a couple. Hell no, There's not a chance
Speaker 1: in hell that Roslyn would ever date Tim Bradford. Roslyn
Speaker 1: would kill Tim Bradford. She's way too type A, way
Speaker 1: too type A, and Bradford's too type A. They'd be
Speaker 1: fighting constantly. She would never tolerate his tone. She'd she
Speaker 1: would have she would have been out in immediately. I
Speaker 1: can tell you that for sure, she does not have
Speaker 1: the patience for a Tim Bradford now the newer Tim
Speaker 1: Bradford she might be fine with. But Tim Bradford season one,
Speaker 1: two and three, No, she had have been done. She
Speaker 1: would have been done. All right. Well, let's see last question.
Speaker 1: Favorite thing to do between scenes, and I bet you
Speaker 1: all my co stars would agree is I'm probably on
Speaker 1: my phone way too much. I do love talking to
Speaker 1: my co stars, we love hanging out, we love joking
Speaker 1: and playing pranks on each other, but we are all
Speaker 1: probably on our phones way too much looking at social
Speaker 1: media or nonsense. I'm also working a lot when I'm
Speaker 1: on set, so between scenes, I'm working constantly on Palm
Speaker 1: Republic or things that we're trying to produce, or just
Speaker 1: everything else I have going on in life outside of
Speaker 1: the Rookies. So a lot of work, a lot of
Speaker 1: being on the phone, and that pretty much wraps it up. Listen, everybody,
