Speaker 1: that sometimes fades as the chaos and craziness of life unfolds.

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: The wonder that we all have inside of us, that

00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: Let's Go Bang, one of her early albums that I

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: was obsessed with. And let me tell you, whoever said

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: never meet your heroes, they never met Jennifer Love Hewitt.

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,959

Speaker 1: your team has or hasn't told you, but you have

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: been one of my number one interviews throughout my entire career,

39
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: like dead serious, and I'm may youres and hundred and

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: hundreds of people, but I'm like, I need to interview

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: Jennifer Love Hewett because so nice man. Growing up as

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: like a small town kid from New Jersey who was

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: figuring out who I was and was going through some

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: difficult times. Your art brought me so much joy throughout.

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: My life and so much thank you.

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: It really did. I started with I note you did

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: last summer as a teenager, and my cousins and I

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: were we all got into that, and then it's just

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, I followed your career ever since, and I

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: just think you're one of those rare artists that have

51
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: this beautiful, long career doing art that really connects with

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: who you are as a human. And I think that's

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: why it resonates with so many people who do follow

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: your career. So I'm like just thrilled. I'm sitting here

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: thinking now, like Heartbreakers is one of my favorite movies. Know,

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: the whole movie from Back to Front. I thought I

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: was Paige growing up, like all of it.

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: I wanted to be. He was much cooler than me.

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: Me too, me too. Well, it is, like I said,

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: such a joy, and I'm really excited to have you

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: on the show. We have a lot to celebrate today, Yes,

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about today because your new memoir,

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Inheriting Magic is out. Now, are you just pinching yourself?

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild. It's like I'm trying to stay present

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: in it. But we've been talking about it so much,

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: and you know, obviously trying to get it out there

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: for people been sort of going by so quickly, and

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: then I've been sitting with it for so long that

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: it's like and like, is this really happening right now,

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: Like it's actually out for people to read and hopefully enjoy,

71
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm just I just don't want it to

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: go by so fast. I'm trying to hold onto the

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: moment a little bit.

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it's a beautiful book. I mean I smiled,

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: I got emotional in certain parts. I love that you

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: open up about your family. But then it's fun. There's recipes,

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: there's DIY inspiration, there's prompts to you know, like self

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: health prompts to just kind of get your brain thinking

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: in a really positive direction. So there's so much goodness

80
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: in this book. Why did you want to write it?

81
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: You know? I think it started off for me as

82
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: eleven years after my mom passing, realizing that I had

83
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: never read said anything about her and her passing. And

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: I think it was just because I didn't have the words,

85
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: Like I just sort of needed to maybe grow into

86
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: my grief a little bit and understand kind of what

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: was happening and what I was feeling about her. And

88
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: I became a new mom not too long after she

89
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: had passed, and so that's a whirlwin, and I just

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: kind of needed time. And so it really started as

91
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: me just sort of writing thought pages about who she

92
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: was and how magical she was to me. And I

93
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: do remember after she passed, like this odd thought kind

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: of came up for me, like about three days after

95
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: she passed, where I feared that all the magic I

96
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: had known in my life was gone because I thought

97
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: she was the only soule carrier of that magic. And

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: then kind of sitting in our living room with my

99
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: new husband and our new little girl that first Christmas,

100
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't I can't not have magic,

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: and so I have to find it somehow. And I

102
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: think her little gift to me that Christmas was to say,

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: it's in here, and you have it, and you've inherited it,

104
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: and you can take it with you now and make

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: it your own and be inspired by it. And so

106
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: it really became I think what got me out of

107
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: that maybe sad dark place that Christmas and allowed me

108
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: to sort of find hope and joy and become a

109
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: magic maker for my family. And it's been just like

110
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: the most beautiful gift from her.

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: And in the beginning of the book you so beautifully

112
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: dedicate it to your kids and your husband and your mom,

113
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: of course, and you say that she was the one

114
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: who taught you that magic was even possible. What do

115
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: you mean by that?

116
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: You know, people know magic is cauldrons and spell books

117
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: and wands and Harry Potter, and you know all of

118
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: those things. My mom's magic was different. It was really

119
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: like an intention that she set. If she was throwing

120
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: a dinner party, or making Christmas or going to a

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: restaurant with her friends. It was never just simple. She

122
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: was extra in like the best way possible. And that

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: extra quality in her just people to her. I mean,

124
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: we would go into a restaurant, even at the height

125
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: of things for me, we would go into a restaurant

126
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: and people would care less about who I was for

127
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: that five minutes. They wanted to know who my mom

128
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: was and why they were so drawn to her. And

129
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: she made everybody that she met feel important and special

130
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: in some way, and that was her magic. And for

131
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: me growing up, I believed I could do anything, that

132
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 2: anything was possible, and that the world was limitless, and

133
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: that to me is magical for a kid. And because

134
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: of that, I said, here, you know, almost thirty six

135
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: years later, in a job that I love and I

136
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: believed I could do that. I believed I could reach

137
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: for it and get it because she instilled that magic

138
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: in me to kind of do that, and so it

139
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: was very special.

140
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: And what I love about the book too, is it's

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: not just about the big moments in life, right like

142
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: the Amazing role You book or whatever the case may be,

143
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: a work accomplishment in any field, it's making the most

144
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: of the little moments and enjoying those for what they are.

145
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: And throughout this book you talk about how you make

146
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: these bestive occasions or seemingly ordinary day extraordinary, right Like

147
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: It's just really a beautiful mindset that I think is

148
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: such an important reminder for everybody right now. And I

149
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: so connect with you on that. Like even something that

150
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: came in to mind for me is during the pandemic,

151
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: my husband and I we got engaged in Paris years ago.

152
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: We've been married for going on nine years, and it

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: was such a dark time and when that date rolled around.

154
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I just turned our living room into a Parisian cafe.

155
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: I love that you know that that's what it's about.

156
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: That really is what it's about. And I do think that.

157
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: I think that's my biggest hope for the book is

158
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: that people will because I've talked to people who are like,

159
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: I am not a magical person, Like I just don't

160
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: get it, and I'm like, but you can be a

161
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: magical person because it really is just an intention that

162
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: you said. It's like you taking that moment and going

163
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: in all the darkness of the world today, I'm going

164
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: to create light for me and my loved one. And

165
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: that is so tangible, and it's more tangible than we

166
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: think that it is. And it doesn't have to be expensive.

167
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be months planned. You can literally

168
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: wake up on a Thursday and go, you know what,

169
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: dinner is going to be weird tonight, Like we're going

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: to make it weird, or we're going to make it special,

171
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: or we're going to put Christmas lights up in June

172
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: for no reason. You know, We're going to do whatever

173
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: it is that we need to do to create magic

174
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: in the space that we have on this planet. For

175
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: the short amount of time that we're here, and it

176
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: makes it so fun life. I'm so proud of you

177
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: for doing that. I think that's amazing.

178
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think you have to enjoy those little

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: moments in life. And I think this it's so cool

180
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: about this book. It's going to really encourage people to

181
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: do that. It's also cool because I feel like a

182
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: lot of people have a difficult time opening up about grief.

183
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a very it's an odd topic

184
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: to talk about because you never know how it will

185
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: make someone else feel. You don't know how it's going

186
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: to make you feel. And I feel like there's kind

187
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: of a stigma around talking about grief still when in reality,

188
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: we all go through it, we all experience it, so

189
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be And you talk about grieving your mom

190
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: in the book as well, So what's your relationship today

191
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: like with grief?

192
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: For you, it's a it's a good one, oddly, I

193
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: really I think writing this book, doing the movie and

194
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: her honor and sort of. I mean, I've definitely had

195
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: good days in this press process and not so good

196
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: moments where like I have to remind myself at the

197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: end of the day because I've talked about it so

198
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: much that like, that's my mom that we're talking about,

199
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: you know, And so it's like definitely hit me a

200
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: few times in the last week for sure that I've

201
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: just been like, why is she not here for this?

202
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: I've been so frustrated, you know, or really sad that

203
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: she's not here to see all this. But then I

204
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: remind myself that she's watching. You know, she's probably gonna

205
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: have like the biggest watch party ever in Heaven's Barnes

206
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: and Noble. It's going to be selling out of that book,

207
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: you know, in two seconds. So you know, she would

208
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: be love. I mean, like I said, she was extra,

209
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: she'd be loving all of this about her and sort

210
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: of in her honors. So that kind of brings me joy.

211
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, grief is something I mean, I think the

212
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: biggest thing that I learned about grief, and I tell

213
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: this to people all the time, whether they've been through

214
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: it yet or they're going to go through it at

215
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: some point, is that it's not an event. It is

216
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: a life after that like it is. It is just

217
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: a thing that comes up any time it feels like

218
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: it when it wants to however it wants to, and

219
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 2: you can't prepare for it, but you have to let

220
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: it wash over you or wash in you, and then

221
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: you have to let it back out again and like

222
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: move forward. And so it is, you know. I think

223
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: I thought, like in the early days of her passing,

224
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: that it was going to be this moment in time

225
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: and then I would be healed and that would be it.

226
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: And you know, next June will be thirteen years and

227
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: I'm still in it. So I think that my relationship

228
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: with it now is that it is a it's a

229
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: weird friend that I have that comes to visit me sometimes,

230
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: and I'm oddly happy to see it when it does,

231
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 2: because it's a new level of letting go of something

232
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: or feeling closer to her, maybe in that moment that

233
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: I hadn't taken time to feel close to her that day.

234
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: And then I wish it well and pack its bags

235
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: pretty quickly and say see your next visit. You know.

236
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a healthy relationship with it now,

237
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 2: I would say, but definitely different than it was in

238
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: the beginning.

239
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: And I think you're so right to acknowledge it and

240
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: in a weird way honor it, but then allow yourself

241
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: to say, okay, we're good now, see you next time.

242
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I think that's right.

243
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 2: Thanks for visiting, right right?

244
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: So important, it truly is, yea, and a part of

245
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: your story that you write about. And I'm not going

246
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: to give too too much away throughout this book, but

247
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: this one part I think is so important for people

248
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: to read and hear. And if there's anything that might

249
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: persuade someone to say, let me pick this up, because

250
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: I really needed to hear that. This was a moment

251
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: that I think is so so critical, at least in

252
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: my perspective. And you talked about how when your mother

253
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: did pass you left and you went away to travel,

254
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: and she wanted you to go, and you had a

255
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: commitment and it was unexpected, right, and you were away

256
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: suddenly and you weren't there, and you were kind of

257
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: beating yourself up for not having the goodbye that you

258
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: thought you should should have until you then realized, well,

259
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we did actually have our time and

260
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: it was the perfect goodbye that she would want. Can

261
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: you talk to me about that a little bit?

262
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we on that day, my gut was

263
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: like very very much screaming at me, do not go

264
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: on this trip. But my mom couldn't travel at the time,

265
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: and she loved to travel, and I was going to Monica,

266
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: which is a place we had been together, and she

267
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: was like, I need you to do this, you know,

268
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: for me, and so I went and in that day

269
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: we did a lot of things. You know, we talked

270
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: about my now husband and you know, sort of had

271
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: that relationship conversation. There were a lot of things that happened,

272
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: but one of the things we were doing was planning

273
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: her big party for you know, sort of how she

274
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: was going to come out on the other side of

275
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: all of this and celebrate with her friends and you know,

276
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: then travel again and you know, sort of do all

277
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: of those things. And when that didn't happen and I

278
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: didn't get that goodbye, I was very angry and it

279
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: stayed with me for a while until I realized that

280
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: for my mom and I, what we did best was

281
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: magic and joy, and we had that that day in

282
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: sort of the hopefulness of her being okay and what

283
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: that was going to be. And the truth is, I

284
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: don't know that my mom and I would have known

285
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: how to say goodbye, and so I do ultimately feel

286
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: like our goodbye was what it was supposed to be

287
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: and it was supposed to be her letting me go

288
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: from a distance and me letting her go from a distance.

289
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: And I know that it wasn't easy for her, and

290
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: I definitely know that it wasn't easy for me. But

291
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: I feel like our last moment was hopeful and was

292
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: magical and was joyful and I get to keep that

293
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: with me, and that means a lot.

294
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: Wow, to be in a place to have that, you know, mentality,

295
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you had to work through a place

296
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to get there, you know, But what a beautiful feeling

297
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: of peace I imagine that is. And I'm getting like

298
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: a little choked up because I think so many people

299
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: need to hear that and need to know that sometimes

300
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: how things unfold or how they're supposed to, you know,

301
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe in coincidences. I don't believe

302
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: in accidents. I think the universe takes care of you.

303
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: That's just my mentality.

304
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: Same, yeah, And I.

305
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Think that that's a really vulnerable part of you that

306
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: you put in this book. That is, if there's any

307
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: reason alone it's to read the book, it's for that.

308
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: Besides all the fun stuff that you talk about as well,

309
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: like the moon water, which, by the way, need to

310
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: do immediately.

311
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: Yes, you do. It's really fun. It's really fun, and

312
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: it will get you to drink water, so it's simply

313
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: for that purpose too. But there really is there, like

314
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: there's a there's I feel like there's scientists and people

315
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: that have come out saying that, like, you can definitely,

316
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: you can definitely like infuse your body with intentions and

317
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: good thoughts by you know, taping a word on your

318
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: water bottle or whatever, and the kids and I just

319
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: kind of took it to a new level adding the moon.

320
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's really it's really fun. I highly recommend it.

321
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Those little tips and tricks are so exciting for people

322
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: to live a truly magical life. I love that too.

323
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: We live in New York City and I'm like, Geo,

324
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: we need to go find the moon and put a

325
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: water a Central park or something and make it.

326
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: Out of it. Yes, well, maybe don't leave it out

327
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: overnight in Central Park. Somebody might drink it and then

328
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: you yeah, no, no, let's try to find a balcony maybe.

329
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fair enough, please, we'll work on that.

330
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: We'll work on that. The holiday junkie is something that

331
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: you've become synonymous alter ego. Yeah, is it is? And

332
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: I believe you kind of launched that or started that

333
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: concept back in like twenty thirteen, Is that right?

334
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

335
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,359
Speaker 1: So what is the holiday Junkie?

336
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: So technically I have to give credit to Instagram followers

337
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: because they were the ones who initially called me a

338
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: holiday junkie and it sort of stuck with me, and

339
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: it really is. It is a total other mindset besides

340
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: magic they go together, but the holiday junkie is truly

341
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: like who I am? I I like for me and

342
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: I put it in the book. There's a calendar to

343
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: follow the holiday junkie, Like where's the normal people in

344
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: the world? See five holidays? I see like twenty there

00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: up into sort of some consumer products that they're really

352
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: excited about. It's been clothing, it's been you know it's

353
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: it's a thing, but it's who my friends and family

354
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: know me as and it is a it is a

Speaker 2: finding all of the little pockets of joy to just

357
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: celebrate and just be happy. And it's I guess it's

358
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: also a mindset and an intention. But yeah, happy to

359
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: be the holiday junkie. And it's a movie that people

360
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: can watch on the fourteenth, which is exciting.

361
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: And you play like a decorator, right I do.

362
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: I play a woman who essentially is hired to decorate

363
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: for Christmas, but also plan a magical itinerary for a family.

364
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: And then I meet a handsome house manager who also

365
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: happens to be my really husband and we fall in

366
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: love at Christmas. And I'm in grief at Christmas because

367
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: I've just lost my mom and he's in grief because

368
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: he was left at the altar.

369
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: Oh what a t ease, right?

370
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: You know? Yes, sign me only sad people at Christmas

371
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: who just happened to kiss. It's awesome.

372
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Oh I love that. That is so much fun. And

373
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I love that you've embraced the holiday junkie.

374
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: And again, it's so on Brandon and theme to your

375
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: book and everything that we're talking about today and enjoying

376
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: all the little moments in life. I mean, why not

377
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: with everything life throws you like, why not lean into that?

378
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I talk about that a lot with my kids.

379
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: We talk a lot about how you know, in our

380
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: house with each other where supportive and we're always kind,

381
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: and we really shore each other up inside our house

382
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: because when you step outside, the world is going to

383
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: do with you what it wants, and that's just the truth.

384
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: And we can't protect each other from that, even though

385
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: we want to. But we can start in our home

386
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: with the intention of magic, the intention of good and

387
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: shoring each other up and supporting each other the best

388
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: that we can so that you know, when we walk out,

389
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 2: it doesn't hit us quite as hard as it might

390
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: hit others. And so we talk about that a lot

391
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: with our kids, and we try to do that as

392
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: much as we can. Sometimes we don't succeed, but we try. Well,

393
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: you do the best we can, right, we try, We

394
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: really try.

395
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: Well.

396
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: What a beautiful environment to create in your home? And

397
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: I noticed that throughout the book you have so many

398
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: beautiful pictures that you show of your family, and your kids,

399
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: And I do feel like it's probably one of the

400
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: more personal moments in your life and career that you

401
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: have gotten with your family, because rightfully so, you've you've

402
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: protected them, you know, so much throughout your life. Why

403
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: did you feel like this was the right time to

404
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: start opening up a little bit more about your kids

405
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: and your family?

406
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: That's interesting. Again, it wasn't supposed to necessarily be that.

407
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: But as I started writing about my mom and our

408
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: connection and her being a magic maker and sort of

409
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: passing that on to me and wanting to pass that

410
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: on to my children, Brian and I both were kind

411
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: of like, how do we not include them? Like how

412
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: does this not become about them? And then in sort

413
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: of writing it and realizing what my mom had left me,

414
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: the book really became a chance for me to show

415
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: them what I'm leaving them, you know, so that one

416
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: day when I'm not here, which hopefully won't be until

417
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm like one hundred and twenty, I'm gonna look scary,

418
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: but I'm really dry for one hundred and twenty. But

419
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: you know, when I'm not here, they'll have it and

420
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: they'll be like, oh, that was her magic and what

421
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: she left us behind. And I do say in the

422
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 2: book that I think that's our job as magic makers.

423
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: Like people who who can sort of wrap their head

424
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: around that mindset and that intention are our goal should

425
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: be to pass that on and leave that for people.

426
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: And so it really just became a love story that

427
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: started with my mom and ended with my kids and

428
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: my husband, and you know, we talked to them about it.

429
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: We asked them if they were okay with, you know,

430
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: kind of putting all this out, and of course they

431
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: were like, yes, we've been waiting. We need the world

432
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: to see us. We're wonderful. They were hilarious. My daughter

433
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: was like, yes, can I be on the cover. I'm

434
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: like okay, So you know, they were ready. But yeah,

435
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 2: it took us a minute to kind of wrap our

436
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: heads around it. And again, I think it also felt

437
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: like a safe space because it was me writing about us,

438
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: it wasn't other people writing about them, and it was

439
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: us sort of being able to control what we showed

440
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: and what we talked about and what we didn't. And

441
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: it's been really positive so far.

442
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's beautifully done, truly, truly beautifully done. And I

443
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: couldn't help but think, you know, while reading your story

444
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: in your background. I know you credit so much of

445
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 1: the magic in your life now to your upbringing with

446
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: your mom and being the holiday junkie. But from me,

447
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: when I think about some of the things that I

448
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: do today, I think about how as a kid I

449
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: didn't have those moments sometimes, And I wonder for you,

450
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: as a working actor as a child, right, did you

451
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: miss out on some of those magical moments in life

452
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: because of your career that now you want to make

453
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: sure you know your kids don't miss out on those,

454
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: and you don't et miss out on those, Like is

455
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: there anything connected to that being so busy so young?

456
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: Oh? One hundred percent. I mean, I think part of

457
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: the holiday junkie magical part of mine is that kid

458
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: in me that didn't have a chance to do those things,

459
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: you know, that was busy trying to be a professional

460
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: and I was surrounded by adults. I mean, I wasn't.

461
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: The first high school party I ever went to was

462
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: a movie called Can't Hardly Wait. I had never been

463
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: to a high school party or a party at all

464
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: that wasn't like, you know, the Golden Globes or something like.

465
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: It was very random, So I didn't get to experience

466
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: those things. I didn't sort of get to have those things.

467
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: And you know, my my daughter says it to me

468
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: a lot, and so does my my Atticus. I'll always say, Mommy,

469
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: you're kind of like a kid, and I'm like, I

470
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: am because there's a part of me that didn't get

471
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: to be And so I do have fun now with

472
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: my kids sort of being that way and tapping into

473
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: that part of myself that maybe didn't get to sort

474
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 2: of let go as much or experience some of those things.

475
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 2: And I do think that, you know, my mom made

476
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: magic for me in the ways that she could, but

477
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: in sort of the career taking off the way that

478
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: it did, and you know, that's a train that just

479
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 2: kind of moves without you at some point. There was

480
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: a lot of that that I didn't get to do.

481
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: So I am doing it now with my own kids,

482
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: and it's fun.

483
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: And that's so funny to think about. When you mentioned

484
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: can Harley Waite, like you had no idea what a

485
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: real high school party was. No.

486
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: The whole time we were filming and I was like, guys,

487
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: is this really what high school parties are like? And

488
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: they would laugh at me and be like no, No,

489
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: I mean maybe like the best one you've ever been

490
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 2: to ever, But yeah, I mean those were all the

491
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: things I've never been. I've only been to a I'm

492
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: on a TV show. All the things that I did

493
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: at those times like I was doing them as my character,

494
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: so I felt like I was doing them, but they

495
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 2: weren't my own experience. So it's really funny to now

496
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 2: go back, and I think about that a lot. With

497
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: my kids. I think a lot about like, wow, like

498
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: they're going to go to prom and I'm going to

499
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: be like, I don't know what that is.

500
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: Well, you clearly have to be the chaperone at the prominance,

501
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: right that would be fun?

502
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: Right?

503
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: You showping a big ball gown.

504
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: They're like, Mom, can you imagine to really get out

505
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 2: of here? Oh?

506
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's super interesting And what a what a

507
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: wild perspective that I could see, you know, I could

508
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: see why you want to bring that magic to life

509
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: for anybody who didn't have something in their in their

510
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: youth right that they didn't experience for whatever reason, and

511
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: now wanting to really go hard and to make sure

512
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: that not only the people around you but yourself, like

513
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: you get to really enjoy something as well. So that's

514
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: that's super cool. Another super cool thing is all the

515
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: recipes you share, so many delicious things throughout the course

516
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: of this book. I'm like, oh my god, what am

517
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: I going to make first? Like, what is what is

518
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: the number cottail? I was going to say, what's like

519
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: the number one must have?

520
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: I mean, his Christmas cocktail is so good. We only

521
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: have it that time of year or this time of year,

522
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: so I'm really excited about it. I'm going to beg

523
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: him to make me one later since it's a Friday

524
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: night that I love. The Megan's cookies are delicious. Nana's

525
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: apple pie I just made for the first time actually

526
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: holding the book and using it for my daughter's birthday

527
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: because that's what she wanted, is her birthday cake. So

528
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: we did that. I mean, they're so good. My Grandma's

529
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: chicken and dumplings are amazing. It was really funny. Somebody

530
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: the other day was like, why are there none of

531
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: your recipes in there? And I was like, because that's

532
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: not who I am. Like I am like the Pinterest

533
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: Instagram girl who's like, somebody else tell me how to

534
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: cook this and I'll do it great. I love to cook,

535
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: but I'm not like I don't come up with things

536
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: on my own sort of person. And they're like, well,

537
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: didn't you just want to put that in the book,

538
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: And I was like no, because then somebody's gonna ask

539
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: me how to make that. I'll be like, I don't know.

540
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: I was like, but I'm surrounded by all these amazing

541
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 2: people who have these great recipes, so I put theirs

542
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: in instead. It was very funny.

543
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's enough options for everybody.

544
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: We're good, you know we have I'm fine, I'm fine,

545
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: I make the party, who makes the food?

546
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: There? We go? There, we go. Well now, and the

547
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: spirit of mixing up recipes, we're gonna do a little

548
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: something called mixing up questions with you. Oh okay, and

549
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna do all sorts of fun, little random questions

550
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: to touch on some highlights of Jennifer Love Hewett. Okay, okay,

00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: It is the craziest thing I've ever done on nine

560
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: on one. All I can say the audience is not ready.

561
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: I was not ready. I was not ready.

00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: It has been this way since we filmed it.

Speaker 1: Really, And did you know this storyline was coming or

566
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:25,960

574
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 1: was my guests people were writing and they love your

575
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,960

577
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,760

579
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,240

580
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 2: really good sister. I love that she's like sort of

581
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 2: his mom ish but all so his cysts and Bucket

582
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: is such a fun character. He's been through so much

583
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: and goes through so much and you know, yeah, it's

584
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: it's really fun for me. I love it.

585
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of speculation out there on that

586
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: dark web that you think his character might have a

587
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 1: little crush on Eddie.

588
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: I know.

589
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: Well, I had to feed into it because everybody wants

590
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: it to happen, and so I was like, I'm going

591
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: to be that person who feeds into this a little

592
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: bit so that people will go crazy. And they did,

593
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: and then everybody got mad at me because they're like,

594
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 2: don't feed into them.

595
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: You were stirring that pot, was.

596
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: Stirring it right up. Well, it's fun to stir the pots.

597
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: All right, fair, sometimes you have to.

598
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going to happen with them, but

599
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't. I would be all for it

600
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: if it happened to me. Just say that there're gonna

601
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: be worse things to see on TV.

602
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 1: Well, that's true. That's true. That's really funny. You were

603
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: seeing it and just totally acted off of it. You're like,

604
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to turn the conversation.

605
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I mean, I'm a forty five your

606
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: old mom of three. Sometimes I gotta do something fun, right,

607
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 2: Like I want to be in the conversation. So I

608
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: got in the conversation a little bit, but then people

609
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: got mad at me because then they were like, well,

610
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: it didn't happen yet. So she lied to us, and

611
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: I was like, guys, can't I just drink my morning

612
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,000

00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: always wanted.

617
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: To be Italian? Can I be like an honorary Italian?

618
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: Is that a thing that people do?

619
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: Yes?

620
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm excited.

621
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: All right, absolutely, okay, brilliant. I love that answer. Now

622
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about Heartbreakers for a second.

623
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: Hi.

624
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I actually met Sigourney Weaver. My friend

625
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: is Barbara Strausgan's tour director, and he had like a

626
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: little after party. I mean, who says that, Like I

627
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: just threw up after saying that myself.

628
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: On let me just put that make me jump the floor.

629
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Like I really just say that. I did. But

630
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: she was at the after party and we weren't talking,

631
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: and I said, I have to tell you Heartbreakers is

632
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: one of the all time greatest movies, and she goes,

633
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: you know what, I think so too. With a big

634
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: smile on.

635
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: Her face, she said that we had a good time.

636
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: It was such a good movie. I feel like at

637
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: one point there was a rumor that you might be

638
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: interested in adapting into a television series. Is there a

639
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: truth to that? Is there still interest?

640
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: So there is. We actually went out with it a

641
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: bunch for a television series, and then sort of the

642
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: business fell apart with the strikes and all of that stuff.

643
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: So it's still out there. We do have a great

644
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: script for it and a pitch for it, and it's

645
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: still my goal at some point to do Heartbreakers the

646
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: TV series.

647
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: Okay, remind me when we're off this, because I have

648
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: someone I need you to talk to.

649
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: Okay, fantastic.

650
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So that just came into mind. Okay, good, So

651
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: there's hope for that. Love it. Where do I want

652
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: to go next? Okay, let's hit a music question. Oh fine,

653
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: let's go Bang was like my album of my adolescence.

654
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry for you, and this clearly was.

655
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: And this was when I thought I was straight even

656
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: sorrier for you, blasting it in my sky blue Toyota

657
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: camera being like yeah.

658
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, That's how I felt. About it too well.

659
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're saying it, because I loved

660
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: that album. I listened to it on a rebeat back

661
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: back in the day when CDs were a thing. I love.

662
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I love a good CD, and I would play it

663
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: repeatedly driving around the streets of New Jersey. I think

664
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: it's time for a follow up to some of your albums. Yeah,

665
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Fair Naked of course is a fan favorite, so like,

666
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: what do we gotta do to get a new album?

667
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: I know you released songs here and there, beautiful songs

668
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: like you what are you keeping us waiting for?

669
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like it was a weird time

670
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: because when I came out with music, I mean it

671
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: was the time of Britney Spears and Avril Levine and

672
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: Michelle Branch and like, you know, all these people. When

673
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: I kind of did Bear Naked, it was like such

674
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 2: a such a rush of these incredibly talented people, and

675
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: I feel like there was a lot of like we

676
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: just wanted to go back and cry on TV, like

677
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: why is she doing music right now? Except for the

678
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: people who loved it, which I appreciate you being one

679
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: of those and my grandmother, but you know, I would

680
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: love to go back to it. I really would. I

681
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't tour or do any of that stuff because you know,

682
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm in my forties and i'd probably throw my back

683
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: out and I have three kids. But I would love

684
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: to make I honestly have thought about this, and I

685
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: think it's why I'm kind of putting out little songs

686
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: here and there, just to sort of see what the

687
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: temperature is. I'd love to do like, you know, six

688
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: or eight songs on a little album and just kind

689
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: of like sneak it out and see what people think

690
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: of it, so you know, maybe it's coming hopefully.

691
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I think the world is ready.

692
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: I'm working on it.

693
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: Love to hear it. Would you ever do Broadway?

694
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I would love to do Broadway.

695
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm terrified to speak in public, really, yes, And I

696
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 4: have been offered stuff before, and I'm the singing part

697
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 4: I could totally do.

698
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: But the idea of standing in front of an audience

699
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: and having to like say words, I think I would

700
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: pass out, Like I would be the first person opening

701
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: night to pass out on Broadway.

702
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: But you're on a set with like three hundred people

703
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: staring at you.

704
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: I know, and I don't know what it is. There's

705
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: just something about like famously literally like when I would

706
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: go and do like announcements on award shows and stuff

707
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: like that, I always they would try to get me

708
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: to do it by myself, and I would always have

709
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: to walk on stage with someone and literally right before

710
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: you walk out on the American Music Awards or something,

711
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: I would be like, dude, I amrified, Like you got

712
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: to hold my hand or I have to squeeze your

713
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: arm or slat because I was petrified, Like I don't

714
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: know what it is or why. Maybe something happened to

715
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: me in another life on a Shakespearean stage perhaps, but

716
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: I am really scared. If I could get over it,

717
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: I would love to do Broadway. I really would.

718
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: But I always thought, Actually, my cousin and I both think,

719
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: because we love theater, we love musical theater, we think

720
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: you'd be an Amazingnessa and wicked.

721
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, thank you m hm, so really.

722
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: Nice, just like leaving that one there for you in

723
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: case Nessa.

724
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 2: Have lara ingitis and not be able to talk.

725
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we're rewriting the show, but okay, fine,

726
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: I'll be fine, yeah, yeah, but let's just say we'll

727
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: leave that one there, and maybe you'll feel inspired to

728
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: reach out to casting.

729
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: Give me in the Clash Menagerie where I don't saying.

730
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we just sit there. We have some

731
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: things to work through for twenty twenty five.

732
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna work through it for training, and then it'll

733
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: be fine.

734
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: Okay. To be continued on that front. To be continued,

735
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: Let's do two more fun ones. Let's see is there

736
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: a movie and a television show of yours that when

737
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: it comes on you have to watch it or you

738
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: sometimes feel nostalgic and are like, I want to put

739
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: it on.

740
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: Got Whisper for sure, such an easy watch. Love that show,

741
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: And yes I am that person who will watch herself

742
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: in the Ghostwhisper. If I'm flipping channels, then it's on.

743
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: Movie wise, Heartbreakers probably only because it was like such

744
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: a swe Heartbreakers to me still feels like a thing

745
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: that didn't actually happen. Like the whole time that I

746
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: was on that movie, I felt like I was a

747
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: person who had entered like one of those random contests

748
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: on the radio to like win a part in a movie,

749
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: right because I would like look around and there would

750
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: be Gene Hackman and Ray Liotta and Sigourn me, and

751
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, what am I doing here in no clothing? Like?

752
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: Why am I here? What is happening? Why is my

753
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: butt gonna be like giant on a screen? In like

754
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: the first ten minutes of the movie, Like the whole

755
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 2: thing just felt not real. And so whenever it's on

756
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: or like somebody's like, hey, I want to watch Party,

757
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, me too, same because I have to

758
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: remind myself that I actually got the chance to like

759
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: be in that like I was invited to be in

760
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: that movie. It was such a wild experience.

761
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: And you know what's so interesting about that movie. There's

762
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 1: so many there's so much dialogue and so many different choices,

763
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: both you and Sigourney and everyone makes that I feel

764
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: like when you watch it, you see different things for

765
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: the first time, you know.

766
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because we had all of our you know,

767
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 2: common like personas, I guess that we had to Yeah,

768
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 2: it was, it was. It was wild.

769
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: All I know is after I watched that movie, I

770
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: was walking around saying, may I grab your nuts and

771
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 1: salty like on repeat?

772
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: Sing it was my favorite thing to say to my

773
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 2: mom and grandmother. It makes them really uncomfortable. My grandmother

774
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 2: and my mom. By the way, we're there the day

775
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 2: that I was attached to Raleiota's crotch for twelve hours,

776
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: No oh oh yeah, I mean just to make it

777
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 2: worse for me. Yeah, it was why my grandmother was

778
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: like she had this big, big Texas I just She's

779
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 2: just like, sweetie, now, what exactly is happening in this

780
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 2: part of the movie. But I'd be like, uh, yeah

781
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 2: it was. Oh that movie was wonderful. It really was

782
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 2: so fun.

783
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: How do you I mean, I know it's your job

784
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: and you're an actor and this is like what you do,

785
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: but when you go to a shoot like that and

786
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, like for twelve hours, I'm going to

787
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: be attached to other actors crotch, Like, yeah, how do

788
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: you prepare for that?

789
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: I mean I think I had to like not even

790
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 2: think about it because I was I was only twenty

791
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: two or twenty three when we to that movie. But

792
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 2: I will say, like, if you're gonna have to do

793
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: that with anyone, it should be Rayle Leota because he

794
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: was the most wonderful, extraordinary man, like just made me

795
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 2: feel so comfortable, was so kind, made all of the

796
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: right jokes about it to like just dissolve the situation.

797
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 2: But also it was like, you know, checking on me

798
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: and making sure that like mentally I was good physically

799
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: I was like, it was just you know, and it

800
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: was so funny with like my mom and my grandmother

801
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: and you know, apologizing in person and for that being

802
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: our day of work. He was just great. So you know,

803
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: I think he had a lot to do with how

804
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: easy that was. But yeah, I think I just that

805
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: whole movie. I was just like, I can't even think

806
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: about what I'm doing right now. It's just wild.

807
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: Well, another brilliant performance. We love to see it. And

808
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: the last mixing it up question, I think you know

809
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: what's coming.

810
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: M hmm, I think you do. I think you do.

811
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: So let's see how we handle this one. Okay, Internet detectives,

812
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: the sleuths if you suse, we have seen that I

813
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: know what you did last summer has begun production.

814
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: It has.

815
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: They have also seen that Freddy Prince Junior has been

816
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: on set. Yeah, it has released some stories saying he's

817
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: finished filming, which have come into question if they are

818
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: real or not. Stories. Also, my own sleuth thing has

819
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: detected that you have went from You've gone from shorter

820
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: hair to longer hair, looking a little bit more like

821
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: Julie James. Oh interesting, and you have a little time

822
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: off before going back to nine one one, So are

823
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: you possibly preparing to be Julie James again?

824
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: I am possibly preparing for that. The hair change had

825
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: nothing to do with that. I just needed something new.

826
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: I get very bored with my hair very quickly, and

827
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 2: because of some things that are going to be coming

828
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: up on nine on one, it felt like a good

829
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: time to sort of change it up. So that's what

830
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: the hair change is for. I am so close to

831
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: being able to say something that's exciting, but it has

832
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: been very hard to do. And I want to clarify

833
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 2: this because so many people have been like like literally

834
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: the line in the movie, what are you waiting for?

835
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: Like what is happening right? And it has only been

836
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 2: scheduling and then me trying to make sure that if

837
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 2: I go back to the franchise, I just don't want

838
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 2: to be the ghost of like nineties past. You know,

839
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: it's like oooh I am you know, she like dissolves

840
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: off and like I really want to do something and

841
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 2: I want to be there for Julie James fans, and

842
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,479
Speaker 2: so we have just been trying to figure it out,

843
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: and I think we're really close to figuring it out,

844
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: and I will be really I will be as excited

845
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 2: as everyone else if I can, if I can say

846
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: that officially very soon.

847
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that makes sense. You want something like juicy

848
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: worth going back for Yeah, I just I.

849
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: Just wanted to like matter, you know, and not even

850
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: for like the new fans that I know you did

851
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: last summer, but for the moms who will be paying

852
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 2: for those tickets to take their kids because they loved

853
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 2: it the first one. I just want it to feel like,

854
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: you know, if she comes back, then it means something.

855
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: But what do we think about this hair? If I

856
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 2: did come back, do we feel like this is a

857
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 2: good like evolved twenty seven years later.

858
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: Julie, I think the hair is perfect for new Julie James.

859
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,800
Speaker 1: I do, Okay, I really do.

860
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: The first thing with this hair that you were the

861
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 2: deciding factor.

862
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: Okay, oh wow, I love it. You know what I think.

863
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I think it's perfect. And what I will say, the

864
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: last thing I'll say is, presumably with these conversations going on,

865
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: and you want to come back, if there's a juicy

866
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: reason to come back.

867
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: Four.

868
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: I think it seemed to say in the script, perhaps

869
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: truly is already in there.

870
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yep, okay, yeah.

871
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I know I can't get much more

872
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: out of you. We're going to leave it at that,

873
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: but we're leaving on a hopeful note.

874
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 2: With this very hopeful.

875
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: The one thing I will say is, just like your

876
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: song in the first one, how do ideal we need?

877
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: We're going to need another one.

878
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 2: So if that's what I said, it needs to come

879
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: as another song. I know I'm working on that too.

880
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: We'll see.

881
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: It must be fun for you to hear how excited

882
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: people are and all the curiosity around you returning. I mean,

883
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: that movie really does mean so much to people. So

884
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: aside from like I'm sure always hearing about how people

885
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: want you to come back, it must be fun to

886
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: go through this again.

887
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's amazing. It's amazing. And I said

888
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: that to them when they came and even talked to

889
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: us about it, Like what an honor it is twenty

890
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 2: seven years later to even be thought of to come back,

891
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: Because the truth is they could do it without us.

892
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: They shouldn't, but they could do it. No, no, no,

893
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: And it's really nice that they don't want to, you know,

894
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: so I appreciate that, and I really appreciate that it

895
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: matters to the fans so much, because that's truly the

896
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: only people I care about in the circumstance, and so

897
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: I really want to give them. I want to give

898
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: them the answer that they want and that I want.

899
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 2: And we're yeah, we're very hopeful at this point.

900
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, I have just one more on this. Okay,

901
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: have you heard anything about possibly Randy returning?

902
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: I have heard that, yes, Okay, Because they were besties

903
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 2: in the movie, I had to remind myself, if I'm

904
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 2: being totally honest, I had to go through both movies

905
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: and remind myself who had died and who had it

906
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 2: because I'm in my forties, so I was like, wait,

907
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 2: can that person come back? And then no, oh no, no,

908
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: oh yeah no that was that one was bloody. But

909
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: I was like because my first thought was we have

910
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: to have Jack Black, and then I was like, oh no,

911
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 2: he died. Yeah, so yeah, I had to go. I

912
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: had to run through real quick and just make.

913
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: Sure something you just can't come back from, like Jack Bike.

914
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it just can't happen.

915
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

916
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are a little mixed on.

917
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 2: But she's I mean, she was frozen and nice. My

918
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 2: head was off. I mean it's pretty I don't know

919
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: that we can be I don't know we can be

920
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 2: confused about that one. But but yes, And then I

921
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: just heard that there's this whole thing where they think

922
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 2: that Sarah and I were fighting or something. Have you

923
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: heard this? Really? All these things out there? And I

924
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: was like yeah, and that, like, yeah, it's been really fun.

925
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: I've I've really enjoyed going and like trying to read

926
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: the stuff now and be like, what are people saying

927
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: about when we did the movie before? You know, now

928
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: all of that stuff and there somebody somebody the other

929
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 2: day was like, yeah, I think Julie made sure that

930
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 2: she was killed because girl actresses don't like to work

931
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: with girl And I was like, what are you I

932
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: was eighteen, they were not taking script notes from me. Guys,

933
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: Like what are you talking about? There were probably friends totally,

934
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 2: I mean all of us were like in that experience

935
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: together kind of you know, figuring it all out and everything,

936
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 2: and I root for her and Freddie and like, I

937
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 2: think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've

938
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: been married for one hundred years and have kids and

939
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: it's like adorable. So yeah, no, it's just been really

940
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: funny to see all of the stuff that people think.

941
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 2: But yes, I have also heard the Brandy murmer and

942
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 2: and yeah, we'll see.

943
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: All right, that's a lot of good information. All I

944
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 1: know is if you're not in a little crop top

945
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: running around.

946
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 2: Again, oh god, there will not be a crop top

947
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: that can. I tell you the funniest story, honestly, my

948
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 2: son Atticus when thought it was the most innocent sweet thing,

949
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 2: but it killed. It was like I was dead, Like

950
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: it was really funny. He was watching the movie and

951
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 2: he came running out and he was like, Mommy, I

952
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 2: just saw the weirdest thing. He was like, there was

953
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: this stuff up here, and I was like, sweetie, that's

954
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: where mommy's boobs used to be. Good.

955
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: Stop. Stop.

956
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 2: It was like it was so innocent. So so he

957
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 2: was so worried about what was up there because he's

958
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: so used to them being lower. Because I'm in my

959
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: forties and I sped three children. So I made the

960
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 2: joke the other day. I was like, guys, if this happened,

961
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: like we're gonna have to tie him up over my

962
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 2: ears and invite him back up.

963
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: For the next movie.

964
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 2: Push up true like Marionette's holding them up as I

965
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 2: run through something. Oh my god, it was hilarious. It

966
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 2: made me laugh so hard.

967
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: It was that's pretty amazing, and then.

968
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: Confused as to how they ended up this way. It

969
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: was very funny.

970
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: That might be the headline for the entire interview. Oh god, great,

971
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know I'm serious. That's that's really

972
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: really really cute. That's really cute. And going off of

973
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: that and giving you some flowers for a minute. On

974
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: a serious note, like I said earlier, you've been working

975
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: your whole career and since you were a kid, and

976
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: you've done so many different genres and categories and film

977
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: and TV and music. Are you to point in your

978
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: life and in your career where you can look back

979
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 1: at everything you've done and say, like, man, I'm pretty

980
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: proud of me, Like I've I've done it, like I've

981
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: accomplished my dreams. Because it's so hard for all of

982
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: us to do that, and not that we sit around

983
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: doing that, but do you feel like you can look

984
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: at all of that and say, wow, I genuinely am

985
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: proud of me.

986
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: I do. I do feel proud. I do feel proud,

987
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: and I feel proud because I think along the way,

988
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 2: if you had asked me a million different times, I

989
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 2: would have said, I don't know, it might be over tomorrow,

990
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, Like I just have always been,

991
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 2: you know, worried about that. And so it is really

992
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 2: nice to sit now at forty five and be like, yeah,

993
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 2: I did that, Like I did what I wanted to do,

994
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 2: and I'm still going and I and it's so fun

995
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: for me that, like I still get nervous to go

996
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: to work. I still get worried when things are going

997
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: to come out, if people are going to like them.

998
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: I still you know, care about Julie James and like

999
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: how to make that great for people. And you know,

1000
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: I have not lost my love for this job, like

1001
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: even a little. And that is awesome and I feel

1002
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: like that is a success in itself. And yeah, I

1003
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 2: am proud of what I've been able to do and

1004
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: hope that I get to continue for a long time.

1005
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's good to hear. I think it's always nice

1006
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: when you can reflect back and have a moment of

1007
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: praise for yourself because none of us do it enough?

1008
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 2: You know, I know, don't.

1009
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: We don't, we don't. I think that's super cool. Well,

1010
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: as we wrap up this conversation, oh boy, here we

1011
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: go the name of the show. Oh you know what's coming.

1012
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: It's called I've never said this before, And the show

1013
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: is born because I cover a lot of red carpets

1014
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: and junkets and you get like three minutes, maybe six

1015
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: minutes if you're lucky, at a junk get to talk

1016
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: to people. And I just saw this longing in people's eyes,

1017
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: wanting to talk about things a bit more substantial, right,

1018
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: and a bit more a bit more real life, which

1019
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: we've done a lot today already. But I'm wondering, is

1020
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: there anything that comes to mind for you that you've

1021
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: never said before that you wanted to say or share today,

1022
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: whatever that means to you.

1023
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it does sort of fit with what

1024
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: we have been talking about a little bit. I do.

1025
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: I think I've never said out loud before to anyone,

1026
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: maybe other than my husband, and that I have a

1027
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 2: real fear as a mom about the kind of mom

1028
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to be when my kids are teenagers. And

1029
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 2: it kind of goes back into what we were talking

1030
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: about before in that I just don't have like I

1031
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 2: never went to high school, like walk down to high school.

1032
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: I mean I did the school work of high school

1033
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: and I graduated and I but I did it on

1034
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: a set. I never went to a high school party

1035
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: other than can't hardly wait. I haven't had those experiences.

1036
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 2: And right now I feel like I really thrive as

1037
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: a mom because the kid in me can throw a

1038
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 2: magical party and it can you know, make a magical

1039
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 2: movie theater moment or you know, whatever it is. And

1040
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: like the kid in me is thriving as a mom.

1041
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: But when it comes to being a teenager or a

1042
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 2: grown up, you know, kind of going into your grown

1043
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 2: up place as a I really worry, like it panics

1044
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: me a lot that I'm going to fail somehow because

1045
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't have those life experiences. And thankfully my husband

1046
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: does and he was he lived a very normal teenage life.

1047
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: But I don't want to fail them that way, Like

1048
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: I really want to thrive and be there for them

1049
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: and do that and not like weirdly want to show

1050
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 2: up at the prom because I never about to go

1051
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: to one, Like I could just see myself like also

1052
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 2: coming down the stairs and She's all that moment and

1053
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,959
Speaker 2: Autumn being like not now, this is not your time,

1054
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: you know, Like I just want to I just want

1055
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: to be there for them, and I want to I

1056
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: want to know all the things. But I don't have

1057
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: those life experiences, and it gives me a lot of anxiety.

1058
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: So how do you calm that? Or can you not?

1059
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: I can't. I mean, I think I just have to

1060
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 2: do my best. Yeah, Like I think I'm just gonna

1061
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: have to do my best. And and I think maybe

1062
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: I said it to Autumn the other day because she's

1063
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 2: eleven now, and you know, we were kind of talking

1064
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: about it, and she was like, what was it like

1065
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: when you were eleven? And I was like, oh boy,

1066
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 2: here we go. I was at auditions, like I have

1067
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 2: no I have no reference for her that's going to

1068
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 2: be helpful. But I told her how I felt inside.

1069
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 2: And so I feel like, maybe I'm just going to

1070
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 2: have to go with my gut and maybe I'm just

1071
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 2: going to learn a lot. Like I feel like I'm

1072
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe there's a part of me that's

1073
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: going to go and experience it, maybe for the first time,

1074
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 2: and I'm going to have to be okay with that.

1075
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 2: And maybe there will be something beautiful that comes out

1076
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: of it, but it makes me very afraid.

1077
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: Well, after reading your book and after talking to you

1078
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: for almost an hour, it's clear you know what you're doing,

1079
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: and your family is very lucky to have you, and

1080
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: I think you know it's it's normal to feel all

1081
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: those things. But yeah, something tells me you're going to

1082
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: be just fine. Just don't show up in the prom

1083
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,680
