34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: why we need therapy. What have you asked him to

Speaker 1: go there? Yeah? And he says no, no, he so sure,

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: let's do it. And why don't you go? I don't

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,839

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: third are you lacking then stuff from them? Because he

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: is a because he's a robot. Yeah, well then what

44
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: does he say to that? He says, stop calling me

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: a robot. But if he's being one, then it's like

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing I can do. I honestly blame it all

47
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: in his parents, but that's a whole another story. Everybody

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: in his family. Are you going to cry when his

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: they're actually not robots, but he is. He's a robot,

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: but he's lovely. What's his name? And he's he knows it.

54
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: You know. You guys just have one kid? Yeah? Oh yeah,

55
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: So why why did you not go for two? Um?

60
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: surrogate to carry it. I mean, this was the most

61
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: planned out baby ever, like first, because both those things

62
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: I want to talk about. Yeah, I mean, no, I

63
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: don't know you want to start with the cancer. I mean, yeah,

64
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: you just came from therapy. I feel like you're like,

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: oh my god, you are. I feel like I'm gonna

66
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: cry like my husband's I will say, when I had cancer,

67
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: he was totally there. Did he cry? I think he did,

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: But I was like on a lot of medications, so

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I never really saw. When did you find out and

70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: what kind of cancer? I was twenties seven and I

71
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: had um cervical and uterine. It had moved from my

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: service to my uterus and um I had to have

73
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: a seven. I had a radical hysterectomy, which means they

74
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: take out your uterus but leave your ovaries super glamorous.

75
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: So what, like what symptoms were you having? None. I

76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: literally went for a paps mayor are you serious? Yeah,

77
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I'll get your paps. Yeah literally, I mean just went

78
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: for a routine checkup, like my one year routine checkup,

79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: and and it had spread from my service to my

80
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: uterus in the time that I went for my surgery,

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: So so it was moving really fat. So had I

82
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: like been like, had I got that job that you

83
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: know would have taken me out of town? Yeah, So

84
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: did you have like an abnormal PAP and they're like, hey,

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: you need to come back kind of thing. And then yeah,

86
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: we were like okay, like whatever is people know? I

87
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I have cancer. I mean, I am

88
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: so Jewish. I was like, oh, this is it. This

89
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: is the end of me. They would have said she

90
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: would have been so good, like I literally, I mean

91
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: but when I was doing hairspray too. Right before I

92
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: did hair spray, I literally was like if I got

93
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: hit by a bus right now, they'd be like, she

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: would have been so good, Like I had like visions

95
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: of that. So that's just what That's just what I do.

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, so, okay, so you went back. So

97
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: I went back in meeting. I was very proactive. I mean,

98
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: that's like the biggest thing I can say to people

99
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: is like, be very proactive about your health because if

100
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: you just you get one life, you're not kept don't exactly. Yeah,

101
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: although I sort of feel like I've had a couple

102
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: of lives. But yeah, but yeah, So that happened. And

103
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: then I wasn't um emotionally even ready to understand what

104
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: that meant. I had literally was in rehearsal for hairspray

105
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: while it was going on. So I was like it

106
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: was like I kept at a huge secret. I was like,

107
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell anybody about this because so it

108
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: was stiring, like you're like big yeah hrah, like yeah,

109
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: so it was pretty intense. And then like, why is

110
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: this happening? I have my big you know, my big

111
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,680

00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: have loved Yeah. Yeah, I already pictured like what they

114
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: would have put on at the Tony Is if I

115
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: had died, Like you never saw her, but she was

116
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: like what did the doctors say when they called? Were

117
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: they just like you need to come into the office. Yeah,

118
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: they were like you need to come back immediately. Yeah.

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like hey, if you want to come

120
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: back in six months. It was like come back tomorrow

121
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: and let's keep They kept doing exploratory surgeries until they

122
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: realized like, oh no, this is no joke. And then

123
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,359

Speaker 1: rat or was it more just like it was more

125

Speaker 1: like let's get it. It was like in tumor forms,

126
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: so they were able to take it out without doing

127
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: chemo or radiation. So I was lucky you kept your

128
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: amazing hair. I kept my amazing hair, and my ovaries

129
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: were fine, so I was able to take out an

130
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: egg for a million dollar baby. And I get I've

131

135
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: in therapy during the rest of your life. The medicine

136
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: that you're on is so intense and also just like

137
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: all the emotions of like, there's so much more than

138
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: just the drugs that are messing up your body, like

139
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: everything is, and there's nothing the man can do that

Speaker 1: I'm probably safer than anybody else because I'm getting checked

154
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: up all the time. Well congratulations, it's what did you

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: What was your biggest takeaway from having cancer? Like is

156
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: it you know, do you tell people you love them

157
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: more like or is it something or you kind of

158
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: like right like right when I was right after cancer,

159
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: my whole life like changed, right Like I was like,

160
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: no more fast food and no more of this and

161
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: now I'm just like, oh my god, what can I

162
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: eat whenever I can put it in my mouth? So like,

163
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it happened that and you know, um, I

164
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of you know, like anything anyone asked

165
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: me to do, I was like, yes, I have to

166
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: do everything I'm gonna you know. I was like life

167
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: is too short. And then I opened in hairspray and

168
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: it was like more important. It wasn't about being a star,

169
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: Like I definitely spent my whole life growing up being

170
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: like I just want to be a star. I just

171
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: want to be famous, Like I just want to be

172
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: And then when I had cancer, I didn't care, like

173
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: I feel like not said it changed, but it changed.

174
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: I was ready to be a star in a show

175
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: and I was ready to lead a Broadway show eight

176
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: nights a week because I did. It wasn't about being famous,

177
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: it was about doing what I love. And I feel

178
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: that's what's changed in me. But that I hope that

179
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: would have changed as I got older, but I don't know,

180
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: it might not have. I was pretty unbearable prior. I

181
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: was really ambitious and then I sort of lost that

182
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: so ambition now well like no, no, no, Like I

183
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: mean like I was definitely much more like into like

184
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: I just really wanted to be famous, do you know

185
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: what I mean? Where And I like look back at

186
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: that girl and I'm like, oh my gosh, Like I

187
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: was so adamant about like succeeding and what that meant.

188
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Whereas where childhood did that play a part? Probably what

189
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: were you like wanting to fulfill in your life? Oh,

190
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I was the youngest of four and I like wanted

191
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: my dad to like be like you're the best always

192
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: so so your perspective change. Yeah, yeah, I was a

193
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: more about like I I and I'm glad about that.

194
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Like there's a couple of things like and even like

195
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: my son. I always say, like, as crazy as it is,

196
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: I would I would have been a mom, but I

197
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been a mom like Zev would have been

198
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: my child because we I mean, it was so much

199
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: work to have him. So what we had to go

200
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,479
Speaker 1: through to have him all started because of the cancer. Right,

201
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: So in the big scheme, it's like, I have no

202
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: regrets for any of that because as much of a

203
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: pain in the ass as my son is, like that,

204
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: I want to he's almost ten yea, so he's his

205
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: own person, a ten year old boy man. Yeah yeah,

206
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: and an only child. Okay, did you have any more

207
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: embryos leftover? Or was that we tried the second We

208
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: did try for about two years and then it just

209
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: wasn't taking. So we finally were like and then during

210
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: that time, z I was like out of diaper as

211
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: he was three, and I'm like, oh, we are done.

212
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I am not jumping back into that mess again.

213
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: How is the only child thing playing out? Okay? It's good.

214
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: You know what, I wouldn't I couldn't imagine having an

215
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: only child because I was such a big family. But

216
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: he's so surrect, like I have like literally there's a

217
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: gay man in my house at all times, you know.

218
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: So he's got like twenty gay uncles that literally, like

219
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: there's someone living in our guest room every Like you're

220
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: in New York and where we live here, our home

221
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: is here. We have a place in New York as well,

222
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: but like this is like our home and we have

223
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: a nice enough place that we could always take in

224
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: my unemployed friends. For me, when couples therapy doesn't go there,

225
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: you can come and live. But then you have to

226
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: drive my kid to school three times a week. That's

227
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,119
Speaker 1: the deal. Yeah, I have a two year old, So

228
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: wait are you doing? And you have a two year old?

229
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: I have a two and well I'm not doing IVF

230
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: any more, but I have a two and a half

231
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: year old. Yeah, so the last two IVF didn't work,

232
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: and it's just like you kind of come go to

233
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: a point where you're at that age too. It's tough.

234
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: I know, it's tough to go back into that. I

235
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: know it's really hard. So I'm just like all right, yeah,

236
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I think that's what you have to and no regrets,

237
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I tried and it didn't happen

238
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: for us, and that's fine, and we got a dog.

239
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: And it's so hard that when you see like kids

240
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: are like sixteen and they're like popping out, like someone

241
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: I get pregnant, and you're like, well, probably when you

242
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: were sixteen, always thought about was like, don't get pregnant,

243
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: don't get pregnant, don't get pregnant. Yeah, it's a lot

244
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: harder to get Yeah. I mean I remember my entire

245
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: like teenage years being like, oh my god, please, I'm

246
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: never oh thank god, I got my period right. A

247
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: bout of times I prayed it was like, dear God,

248
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: I will never ever word be mean please, and then

249
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm like my period comes, I'm like just one more time? Yeah,

250
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: oh god, every time, every month of every year. So

251
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: how how hard is it to separate yourself from hair spray?

252
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Because like when you because you're you know, you're still acting,

253
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: you're your kicking butt, you're doing anything. But it's like

254
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: do people just say, are you so typecastid that you

255
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: found it hard? Yeah? I mean where I find it

256
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: the hardest. It's a great question. I do find it

257
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: hardest because I'm I'm not a sixteen year old character, right,

258
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: So when people think of me as Tracy turnblat they

259
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: or like she's sixteen, right, or she's in her twenties,

260
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm in my forty like and like

261
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: even like for like TV stuff, They're like, oh, she

262
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: can't play a mom to us exteen year old, I'm like,

263
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: are you excuse me? Hitting me? Like you know, And

264
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: I think being short totally like messes with that too

265
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. But like I find that, like thankfully

266
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: hair Spray was like the role of a lifetime, right,

267
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: So if I'm going to be a typecast anywhere, let

268
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: it be Tracy term Like I have no, that's fine,

269
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: b I'm like, you're not trying to bury it and

270
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: never I'm so proud. I'm proud of It's not just

271
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: the role. I'm proud of the show. I'm proud of

272
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: like what it did. Like I just say I just

273
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: went and did um that makes you feel good. It's inspirational.

274
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's got a great message. Yeah. So and

275
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Tracy was like I inspired to be like her. Like

276
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: as as cheesy as that sounds, she was securing herself

277
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: and I just loved. I don't know if that so

278
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: I think like that lives on and it's timeless. Yeah,

279
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: so exactly, so I'm okay with that, you know, like

280
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: I would love to play like you know, you know,

281
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: be like mom Rose and Gypsy when eventually they're gonna

282
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: let me or like Hello Dolly, Like that's like where

283
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: I would like love to do Broadway, but until anyone

284
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: lets me just play an older person, do you feel

285
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: like you have to change your look up or like yeah,

286
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: but I'm never going to like never, like I like,

00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: like I like panned up pom poms in my hair,

290
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: Like no one takes me seriously. I wonder why. Like

291
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I dressed like I'm a twelve. I literally brought my

292
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: son to school one day and this little girl just like,

293
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:22,959

00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: ten year old. It's not even like a sixteen year old.

297
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: Like I'm like with the ten year old. So yeah,

298
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: I have a problem. Yeah, oh my god, I love

300
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: she's the best. Like she was one of the first

301
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: celebrities I met when I left, never been kissed. It

302
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: was like that was like I feel like that was

303
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: like one of the first times I was in a

310
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: she would bring you flowers and hold her hand. I

311
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: love that. Ye, No, that's yeah. So what are you

312
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: working on right now? Well now, I mean like after

313
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: Big Brother, I feel like a big Brother, you're just

314
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: really nice. I mean no, Like, here's the thing, like

315
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: in God Flex Ross, like Ross and I are very

316
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: ros Matthews and I got very close on the show,

317
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: and um, he played a really tough game, like he

318
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: played hardcore and like there's a bazillion people on Instagram

319
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: that like swear at me on a daily basis, being

320
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: like he should have won, you robbed, I mean, but

321
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: like I'm also like laughing because it's like nobody like

322
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: saw my game, Like nobody, because my game was so

323
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: much deeper than Ross's, like but like his was such

324
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: the obvious Big Brother game, like you know, like talk

325
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: about people in the diary room and back Stubb and

326
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not going to do that because they're

327
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: all going home and watching the show like none of it,

328
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: Like he wasn't thinking it through, Whereas like I'm like

329
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: I was like deeper. I played a much deeper. Yeah,

330
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: I knew, like you can't. Like my whole thing was

331
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: like going in. I was like, you can't win celebrity

332
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: Big Brother by pissing off everybody's fan base and pissing

333
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: off their families because they're gonna go home and their

334
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: families are going to tell them who to vote for.

335
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: Like I knew if I got taken off the show,

336
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: my son would have said vote for James, right, Like

337
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: my son would have told me whose game he liked

338
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: or who wasn't mean to me or you know what

339
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Like if someone's talking about me, my kid's

340
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna be like, yeah, that Ross guy was talking about

341
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: you don't vote for him, and that would like, you know,

342
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: play home until you play. So my thing was like,

343
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: don't piss off anybody's fan base, like that's all just

344
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: play and have fun and be nice and to the

345
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: day you win celebrity shows, you be nice like that.

346
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: And I didn't, like I kept myself out of all

347
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: the drama, like I would actively be like, oh my god,

348
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: they just called me to the diary room. Nobody called me.

349
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: I was like, I just have to get out of

350
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: this argument like that's about to happen, you know, Like

351
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: and I would get and I'd like sit around and

352
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: read the Bible with us, like it was so weird. Yeah,

353
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: I like, I'm wearing pompoms and do you guys want glitter?

354
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: And I got these eye patches and everybody like literally

355
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I brought stuff in to make friends like it was

356
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: high school. I was like, I'm going to bring in

357
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: enough stuff so everybody has stuff to hang out with.

358
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: But I like that though, because that's and I had

359
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: so much fun, Like I was never stressed at every

360
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: group in high school basically, yes, like mean girls, the

361
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: popular girls, jocks the nerves like James my sweatshirt. I

362
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I knew what I was doing, but it

363
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: couldn't have been all puppies and rainbows. Like what was

364
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: the most annoying thing the most It wasn't all the

365
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: happiers and rainbows, of course, not um. The most annoying

366
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: thing would be like when they would do the challenges.

367
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: What people don't know is they separate you because you're

368
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: not doing it. So you would literally be stuck in

369
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: a room by yourself for six to eight hours, you guys,

370
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: not just like not just like, oh, we'll come and

371
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: get you in forty five minutes. It was like eight

372
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: hours would go by and you were like, please, can

373
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: I go to the bathroom? Big brother? Like it was,

374
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: and you have nothing to read, nothing to watch, like

375
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: just alone with your brain. That's terrifying. That's like if

376
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: you want to be in therapy. That's like where I

377
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: got like create and I would have an anxiety attack

378
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: and just fall asleep, like you know when your body

379
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: like just shuts down in pure panics, I was liked

380
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: and I would just pass out Like that would be

381
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: like did they lock the doors some of the doors

382
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: some of them have like the rooms with the bathroom

383
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: were locked, the rooms without the bathroom weren't locked. But

384
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: like you, it was almost like you were like being helped,

385
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: like you knew, don't leave that like when people. Yeah,

386
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: there's so many analogies I'm not going to use, but yeah,

387
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: it's like you don't leave because you're scared to terrifying. Well,

388
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm never going to do that, but you know what

389
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: we did do the same rally show dancing how well

390
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: I want to know your not I had? I had

391
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: an incredible time. It was I was going through your

392
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: partner Gleb so he was new, this was his second season.

393
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: That's hard. Um so he was new and he was great,

394
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: Like I loved him. He was awesome. The problem was

395
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: like my personal life wasn't how like my husband I

396
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: were separated, Like it was like us had I had

397
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: a four month old thing like oh my god, this

398
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: is like literally the nightmare going on. So it's like,

399
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, I had to publicly say like I'm separated,

400
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, and like so like

401
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: the I wish I would be Orchard in a dance studio.

402
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: Well they were like, it's only like four hours, I'm like,

403
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: if I could go. So one of my friends was

404
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: got asked to do it, and he's like, what's the

405
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: biggest lie? And I said that that it's four hours

406
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: out of your day because on top of the interviews

407
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: and the dancing, and if you go farther, you're dancing

408
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: eight to ten hours and they're in your backyard at

409
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: six am setting up the camera like they would be

410
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: in my backyard setting up the camera to do your like, well,

411
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: last night went great, and you're like twitching, like and

412
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't even know what they're like, just

413
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: answer the question and the question and you're like, well,

414
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: it's like like you're like, I don't what do you

415
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: want me to say to keep this going faster? Like yeah, totally.

416
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: One on your season, Well, my season was season six,

417
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: so it was like the first time it was Christie Amagucci,

418
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: so it was like literally what she does is literally

419
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: like she does it on too, Like it was easier

420
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: to do it on the dance floor than on two

421
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: skin blades. And you had Derekoff as your no. I

422
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: had Tony Devil was great for me because it was

423
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: so tall that like my ballroom pose was perfect. Because

424
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: I literally had up like I couldn't do the ballroom

425
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: was like a short season. So it was all just

426
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: like I was horrible in all of the like Latin

427
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: dances because I could just hold on to him. Here's

428
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: the thing I did really well. But I was also

429
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: so we did we did? I mean, but mine was

430
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: strictly because the audience, like I was getting fives into

431
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: weak like I was, it would be so bad. They

432
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: weren't nice. I was telling you it was because I

433
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: was like I never let them see me cry. I like,

434
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I cried at home every night. But it

435
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: was also like I was the first like chubby girl

436
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: to do it, like I was genuinely the first one,

437
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: so like America was like, yeah, there's someone like us,

438
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like I genuinely was

439
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: like give me the short skirts, give me the tanner,

440
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: like don't like we're not trying to mask anything. This

441
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: is who I am. So I love that you own

442
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: your body and I think that's the beautiful thing because

443
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you're it's like, this is this is

444
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: who I am. I'm not going to make excuses for it.

445
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: And let's see you get me in a short skirt.

446
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shake it around and I'll tell you though.

447
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would like they would be like stitching my

448
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: skirt down to my booty shorts, and I was like,

449
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking over and I'm like I can see other

450
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: people's vaginas, Like I'm looking, why are you stitching my

451
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: Like are you so scared my thighs are gonna be

452
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: on TV? Like they would literally be like stitching me

453
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: into like my short so that my thighs wouldn't show.

454
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I can literally see inside of her

455
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: body like like we're like I can, yeah, exactly, Like

456
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm looking at right now things that I

457
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: should not say, but like, god forbid you see my

458
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: thighs on National Teavabe. So those were a couple of

459
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: moments where I'd be like mmmm, and I would like

460
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: be in the dressing room like I'm like, the skirt

461
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: doesn't twirl I wanted to. I would get so mad.

462
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: But that's fantastic. Yeah, I definitely loved it, but I mean,

463
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: looking back, I loved it, but I definitely had like

464
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: I was I've said many times times my surrogate was

465
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: pregnant at the time when I did Dancing with the

466
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Starry So we were we were having a baby three

467
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: months after, so I was stressed out about that, but

468
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't I had like no idea what I was

469
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: getting myself into having a kid, right, So so I

470
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: was like like Mary, like I had nothing else going

471
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: on in my life. So it was like, but I've said,

472
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: I could never have done that show if I had

473
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: even a child at home, like, let alone anything else

474
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: going on. I couldn't imagine how stressful because you're so

475
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: on edge, so on edge, and then they're they're just

476
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: like wanting you to, like, you know, show the emotion.

477
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: And and I remember Glenn, I got in a fight

478
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: and you know, the camera was like on me, and

479
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: so I faked a phone, called them my mom and

480
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: I was like, hey Mom, how are you And it's

481
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: like because I just wanted like to see it. And

482
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: at that time, I was just like I don't I

483
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: need I need a space walk away camera. Yeah, Tony

484
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: not going to give you what Tony and I talked about.

485
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: We were like, they I'm not Marissa when Oakre is

486
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: not staying on the show, if she sits down and

487
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: cries ever, because I'm only here because people are like, Oh,

488
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: we're so happy, she's so happy. The in it I

489
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: sat down and cried over a dance move, they would

490
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: have been like, let her go home, like like, don't

491
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: make her do this anymore, you know what I mean?

492
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: Like genuinely, so we both were like if we ever

493
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: get to the point where you're gonna make me cry,

494
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: like we need a snack, we'd be like, we need

495
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: a snack, and we would like, go get a snack.

496
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: I need I need a snack. Then like we have

497
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: to stop, I'm going to burst out and cry. Like

498
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: we definitely were like I need that. You knew, like

499
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: we had a safe word we had like Dancing with

500
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: the Stars sexual Snow it was a snack. What did

501
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: you guys? Um, honestly, this is and it's it's kind

502
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: of ironic me saying this because I was late today,

503
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: but I am. I'm very on time, and so it's

504
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: frustrating when he would be like, you know, I'm on

505
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: my way to the studio, so I don't again get

506
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time with my daughter. And

507
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, during this time, because there's so much going

508
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: on and I was also on tour and it was

509
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: crazy time and he would show up an hour and

510
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: a half two hours later, and that in a few

511
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: hours I could have been with my So we thought

512
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: about that towards the very end of the season, and

513
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, it was just you know, we were close

514
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: to the semi finals at that time, so I was like,

515
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, we're in this like you know, I'm like,

516
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: I want to work, and if you're gonna tell me

517
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be late, like that is valid, Like that

518
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: is time with my child. We're taking away from me.

519
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, so I went into like mom

520
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: like Craig Crime mode, and then like my husband was

521
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: kind of back in the picture at that time, and

522
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: it was just like so many different angles, and I

523
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: had this Russian you know man just like yelling at me,

524
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, all right, if you don't respect me,

525
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to respect to you right now. And

526
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: you don't get to yell at me unless you're respecting

527
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: my stuff too. So we just like when no, you

528
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: never get to yell at me. No, that's that's why

529
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: you marry a robot because he never yells. He's never yelled, like,

530
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: never once has raised his voice. But see, okay, so

531
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: here's my question for that, Like, isn't that like don't

532
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: you like I think like healthy arguments are good. Sometimes

533
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: we argue, but the eye Like when I was in

534
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: Big Brother, like poor Brandy Brandy Glamville, like she like

535
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of like snapped at me once and I was like,

536
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: Brandy just yelled at me, and Brandy's like, I wasn't

537
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: yelling at I'm like you to understand, I don't have

538
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: my husband doesn't even yelp me like that. I don't

539
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: I have that attitude of that, Like I don't have

540
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: that in my life, which yes, like there's been sometimes

541
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: where I'm like, you have no emotion, but like it's

542
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: the it is healthy to argue, but not when you're like,

543
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: I'm a crazy person, so arguing with me is I'm

544
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: just gonna keep circling around into a crazy person. So

545
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: like I think he's like it's not even worth it

546
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: with her, And what do you think your biggest issue

547
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: in your marriage is besides him being a robot? That's

548
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: literally my only issue. That's the only Yeah, Like we're

00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: with is raising our sun because we raise them, we

566
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: would raise them very differently you know so well. And

567
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: how does that work with him being in New York

568
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: and you've been here. Um, I make him feel guilty

569
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: every single day, Like every day I'm like, you don't

570
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,440

597
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: they packed the boxes and started sending them out. You

598
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: know I love about Lola. Why don't you say what

599
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: it is first? Since you are an avid user. I

600
00:26:55,760 --> 00:27:00,400

603
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: exactly exactly when I need them. And what I love

604
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: about Lola two is the fact that you can curate

605
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: your own basically your your box of because it's so

606
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: frustrating when you go to the store and you're I'm like,

607
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't want twenty super tampons. I want this many

608
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: of this and this many of that. So I like

609
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: the fact that you can curate to whatever your flow

610
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: is exactly wealthy kind of an entire pantry of like

611
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: super and you know, super frustrating, get it. But with Lola,

612
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: it is it's give me, give me the goods on it.

613
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: It's natural, natural, easy to like you just feel good

614
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: about it because we are so focused on what we're

615
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: putting in our bodies on a daily basis. We need

616
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: to be focused on that being we're actually putting in

617
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: a system. Yes, absolutely, because for years we use tampons

618
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: that were full of perfumes, full of toxins, plastics. Okay,

Speaker 1: kids are in school all day, so your youngest is eight. Okay,

634
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: they go from eight to four teen, so they're in school.

635
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: I have I have the whole day to just so

636
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: you're not in any diapers or no, I'm out of diapers, bottles.

637
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: Body done. Yes, we are done. Like he snip snipped,

638
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: You're like snips. So there's a possibility to be a surprise. Wolberg,

639
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: how do you handle two boys to girls? Okay, well,

640
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: which is perfect. Um and I don't I've never met

641
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: you before, but I met your bag. Yes. I was

642
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: really excited because we have a friend, Nicole Prez and

643
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: um I was on her Instagram. I was like, oh

644
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, I love that purse and she's like, oh, well,

645
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: it's her new line. So do you want to talk

646
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: about it? Yeah, our kids go to school together. Actually,

647
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: our two youngest, the two um eight year olds, are

648
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: in the same class, so we're pretty good friends. And

649
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: um and yeah, so the bag line, um is, basically

650
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: it's called La Grace, named after my two dog matters m.

651
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: My oldest daughter is Ella, the youngest is Grace um

652
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: Ella Grace by Raya Wahlberg. And um, So my idea

653
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: behind the whole bag line was that I wanted to

654
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: produce something that not necessarily people in l A and

655
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: New York and Miami, although I'm not excluding those people

656
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: like more than welcome you can buy them. But what

657
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: my idea was the people in Arkansas and Missouri and

658
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: Nebraska and that don't have access to to find you know,

659
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: leather goods and that, but they want bags that are

660
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: sort of replicated from you know, good quality, quality and

661
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: brand names. So that was my idea behind the whole,

662
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole concept. How long have you been, Like,

663
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: what's how long has the process been? Literally we just

664
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: started probably nine months ago, and what your idea was

665
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: nine months ago? Two? Um, maybe nine months to a year.

666
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, so he' just like I want to

667
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: do a bag and it's like boom nine months later,

668
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: like a baby. Fantastic. I know you did have another baby.

669
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: That's that's my baby. What is your favorite style of bag?

670
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: Like crossover handle? I like a cross body bag because

671
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: like when I'm in the grocery store or Target or whatever,

672
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to put my bag across so that I

673
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: don't have to put it in the car and worry

674
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: about somebody stealing it when I walk off to like

675
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's very element of Target, right, and so

676
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: I like cross body, that's my favorite. I'm the same way,

677
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: that's my favorite. What about you? I'm a little bit

678
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: of both a little bit. It depends where I'm at.

679
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: So if I'm like disneylanding it, then I do the

680
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: cross body, or if I like the same Target, if

681
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing that, or but if I'm out for like

682
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: just a little like lunch, I'll do my little yeah yeah,

683
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: just yeah, thanks, Just depends on that. On the outfit

684
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: for the evening. Yeah, you can sure like a little

685
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: evening bag and which we're coming out with. And so okay,

686
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: where can my listeners get your bags? Okay? So right

687
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: now we have very limited quality quantity. We have them

688
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: on my website, which is La Grace Wahlberg dot com.

689
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: Um and are you going to sell them in stores

690
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: at all? Or or is it just going to be

691
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: we are going to sell them in stores eventually. I'm

692
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: hoping possibly we might sell them in Target. I'm not

693
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: right positive, But I love about that though, because it

694
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: would be a high higher scale a brand basically for

695
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: Target for Target, that would be fantastic. It would be

696
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: accessible to everybody that I wanted to be accessible to

697
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: write Yeah, absolutely for someone that doesn't want the twenty

698
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: dollar fake leather. Yeah, that all of our products are

699
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: real leather. Um, although we have been asked for some

700
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: vegan leather lately. So I'm kind of like toying with

701
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: what's the price difference vegan? Is that is that less?

702
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: Or is that it's less? Okay, it's less, but that

703
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: then that defeats them? What you're you're exactly. That's what

704
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm kind of going up and down with whether I

705
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: should just stick to real leather, which is our leathers.

706
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: Did Peter ask you for leather or for the vegan

707
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: leather or I'll be crucified for this because I am vegan.

708
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: But there is a leather bank. I love more than

709
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: a nice leather back. Justather. So I don't know, like

710
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: because it comes from an animal. Oh so pends my

711
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: rabbit for jacket, I've got rocket. Peter hates me. That's fine. Um,

712
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: oh well that makes semi sense. But my leather. They

713
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: do have leather boots on. I have a leather jacket

714
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: in my office. But so you're like half vegan half leather, right,

715
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm vegan. I eat vegan, but you buy leather and

716
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: our mother is really good too. Yeah, it's really saw,

717
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: It's really good. I like it a lot. But I

718
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: guess my question with the vegan though, is that like

719
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: that again, that's just going to take away what you

720
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: kind of want for the kind of Um. Yeah, like

721
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going up and down with it. But

722
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: we do have good good vegan. Um. You know our

723
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: swatches that I've been going over, you know they're not

724
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: bad designer bags do that vegan? I know Stella McCartney does,

725
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: does vegan. She's she's all yeah, three people too. So

726
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: how do you Is it hard being the wife of

727
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: a famous actor? Is it hard? Um? I don't really

728
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: look at him like that, so I don't. I don't. Okay. So,

729
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: like when you're out in public, people obviously are like

730
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: that's hard. You know, that's hard because it's hard for

731
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: us to go places. Um, we can't go to like

732
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of public places at the it's want to

733
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: go and the kids um complain a lot. Um like

734
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to go because you know

735
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: everybody's going to come up to you, daddy and want

736
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: your picture, and we don't. We even want to do that.

737
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: It's just so we don't want to do that, right,

738
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: So it's more of annoyance. It's not really cool for them.

739
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: It's more of but I know it's an annoyance. So um,

740
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: that part is hard. But I mean everything, you know,

741
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't look at like I said, I don't look

742
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: at him. There's no jealousy or like anything like that. Yeah,

743
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: you guys got it together for forever, right, seventeen years

744
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,880

00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: nine years, so we've been together for seventeen and married

757
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: for nine Did what did anything change once you got married? Nothing?

758
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: That's not a thing. That's kind of we had, um

759
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: Serie daily on here to Carson Daily's wife, and she was,

760
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, she's like, we did everything kind of backwards

761
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: and then when we got married was just like a

762
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: piece of paper. Nothing changed. Nothing we had already gone through,

763
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: like the ups and downs and exactly. Now, maybe that's

764
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: the secret. Maybe be nice and and do everything backwards.

765
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: Don't get married when you've known somebody for two months.

766
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, you guys are in it for the

767
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: long haul. Yeah, oh yeah. I mean it's like you're like,

768
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 1: it's like he's he better now. And we're Catholic. Oh

769
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: there you go, raised Catholic. Yeah it would be a sin.

770
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: But then hell there you you had kids out of

771
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: wedlock that we did, though I know we did. Was

772
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: that hard for your Catholic parents? Um? You know, I

773
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: was raised Christian and I converted to Catholicism for Mark, uh, well,

774
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: for myself and for the kids and for Mark and

775
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: just for the whole family in general. And um, he

776
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: was raised Catholic, Okay, But it wasn't really a big

777
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: deal for his family. Well no, but I love though

778
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: how religious you guys are, because it's um and it

779
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: was just nice to see. You know, you guys have

780
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: a beautiful family. You guys. You know, look, you give

781
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: a very strong marriage and it's it's it's nice. I

782
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: was obviously on your Instagram page and you guys were

783
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: talking about Easter and so I just loved all that stuff. Yeah,

784
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: it's every Sunday as a family. Well, you know what,

785
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: our kids go to Catholic school, so I don't make

786
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: them go on weekends because I feel like they get

787
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: enough during the week and I don't want to shove

788
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: it down their throat on the weekends. I let them

789
00:37:54,239 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: have a break. Um, he goes every single Sunday. Um,

790
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: He's not missed one Sunday since I've met him. Wow,

791
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if we're in Jamaica, We'll take a

792
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: boat to get to a church. Um, he's not amazing.

793
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: I go um as often as I can. I don't.

794
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't go every Sunday, but um, yeah, he goes

795
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: every single Sunday. That's fantastic. And what like a man

796
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: not to talk like too much about market Mill's relationship,

797
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: but like, what have you seen that make a difference

798
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: in your relationship? Is it just kind of keeping God

799
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: is number one? Or yeah, just his faith is so

800
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: strong and he's an eternal optimist. He's just very very

801
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: positive and um, you know his faith comes first and

802
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: along with that comes family and marriage and kids, so

803
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: you know it kind of all it all, it all

804
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: connects and goes together. Right, that's great. Yes, I've seen

805
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: him a couple of Sundays at wall Burgers because my

806
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: son and I go there because I love the impossible Burger,

807
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: really excited when the sunset location got that. But I've

808
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: seen him and he just walks in, yeah, like a

809
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: normal business owner. And I have a lot of respect

810
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: for that because he probably has just come from church,

811
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: like the ton o'clock mass or eleven o'clock mass, and

812
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: then he's at work, Like how is he supposed to

813
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: walk just because he's bark Wallberg But he's like walking

814
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: into his business. We're very very normal. You would be

815
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: if you came to my house, you would be very shocked.

816
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: Which way would would you say that? It's like, I

817
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: mean our kids are very normal. They're not I mean,

818
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,279
