Speaker 3: Yeah, welcome back and happy holidays to everyone. I just

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: want to say I was hoping that we were going

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 3: to be able to do this episode in person, but

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 3: because all of our schedules are so busy and everything,

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: we weren't able to get together and do it in person.

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 4: We're doing it on zoo. But I just want to

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 4: say that.

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: I've got a little holiday deliciousness to enjoy that I

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: was able to enjoy.

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 4: I did Okay.

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: So I took this recipe that I normally make into

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: a bunt pan that's really beautiful, you know, aunt pan.

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: You can get them in all different like shapes and

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: designs or whatever, but it's kind of like really hard

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: to make sure that it comes out of the pan

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: correctly and everything.

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 4: So I tried it today just as.

21
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 3: A loaf, like a loaf of bread, like like a

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: like an apple sauce gingerbready pumpkin.

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's really don't.

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: You were in person?

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 5: That I know? So good?

26
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll be able to get together before the holiday

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: season is entirely over and we can share a little

28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,680

00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: I know you've said that you cook, but do you

33
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: bake and stuff during the holla?

34
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't bake because I can't have gluten. It gives

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: me migraines. So I t some Isn't that the craziest?

36
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,520

48
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 5: I love that.

49
00:01:59,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: You know.

50
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: I don't bake. I never have. My sister does.

51
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: Back in the day, probably during I think it was

52
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: during Melrose Place. Actually she lived with me for a

53
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: while out here and had a baking business. So my

54
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: entire closet pantry in the entryway was filled with doileys

55
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: and pink boxes and gold trays, you know, vats of

56
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what. But anyway, we're very different that way.

57
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: I love to go places that A.

58
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: Well we went through.

59
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: I usually have a whole lot of family around at Christmas.

60
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, we have four kids, and

61
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: now two of them have spouses. So when we're all together,

62
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 3: we're you know, we're not only six, we're eight plus

63
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: my parents plus my you know. Like so sometimes we

64
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: have just just a casual fourteen, you know, for all

65
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: the days and all the meals and whatever. And there

66
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: was I think there was a I think one of

67
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: the COVID Christmases where we didn't have our giant a

68
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: Christmas party that we often have, and we were just

69
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: the fourteen of us or eleven or however many that

70
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: were that year. We were just cooking and eating and

71
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: baking and eating and cooking and eating and bacon and eating.

72
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: And we called it the cake a Day Christmas because

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: I was baking a cake a day, Like I was

74
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: trying new cakes and like try this one, which you know,

75
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: and it was the cakea day Christmas.

76
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: Remember the sour dough during the pandemic, everyone.

77
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: Was doing a coward dough.

78
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: You probably did that.

79
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: Now, you know, my daughter is just a master at

80
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: sourdoaught bread and she bakes a couple times a week

81
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: and she's she's got that master. So she was.

82
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: That's amazing. I mean, that was one thing.

83
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: The meals, because when did you ever get three meals

84
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: a day together except when your kids or baby baby babies.

85
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: So I remember we went through a period having these

86
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: huge baked potatoes every day. We'd sit down onto these

87
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: huge baked potatoes. Start up baked potatoes, then you added cheese,

88
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: then you added bacon, then you had storgry by then.

89
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: But it's like a baked potato bar every day at lunch.

90
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: And it was fun to have that thing to look

91
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: forward to because the days were so weird.

92
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: Right, that's great, Yeah, yeah, it was really fun.

93
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we looked forward to cocktails at five and then

94
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: begin well it's four thirty. Well it's a Tuesday.

95
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: Who cares?

96
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: You know, I was.

97
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: I remember all those memes and instagrams like about that.

98
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: You know how everyone picked up on the cocktail thing

99
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: and just this now we all had to like, oh, well,

100
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: what's a dry January anyway, who cares?

101
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, And isn't it nice that this year?

102
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: It also makes you appreciate when you don't have those

103
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: restrictions right now that we're back to regular holidays. So

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: what are your holiday traditions that you really look forward to.

105
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: I'm not from a big family. It's a little bigger.

106
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: It's getting bigger because my husband has three kids and

107
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: one just got married and you know, they have partners,

108
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: and my brother got married and they're going to be

109
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: having a baby. Sit so it's growing. But I didn't

110
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: grow up with a big family, and so I kind

111
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: of can do a group and a crowd for a

112
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: period of time.

113
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: But I have to have my room to sneak.

114
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: Away to and shut the door. I have to or

115
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: I will go nuts. And I don't want to be

116
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: pressured into doing group things. Need I really like alone

117
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: time and Christmas time. The holidays are the only time

118
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: I can like let go and stop doing things because

119
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: I know everyone else is doing that too, so I

120
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: don't feel like I'm missing out or I'm getting, you know,

121
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: behind on things.

122
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 6: I like to.

123
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: Write, read, listen to music, do nothing, stare out. We're

124
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: going to be out in the snow with my sister

125
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: up in the mountains. So I just like to be reflective,

126
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: and I think it's important that people know that they

127
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: can do that or whatever feels right to you. This

128
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: is a time for reflection and slowing down and letting

129
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: the sort of day to day go. And if it's

130
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: a group, wonderful. If it's not, it's okay. And if

131
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: you're working through Christmas, I've done that too, so but

132
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: still to find what's right for you.

133
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 5: I don't like the external pressure.

134
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really important, I think.

135
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that, laur And we do.

136
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we have kind of a giant

137
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: family and extend family giants. So we have a huge

138
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: crowd of people usually for the holidays, and kind of

139
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: a revolving door of people coming and going in different

140
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: travel plans. And especially now that some of our kids

141
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: are having families of their own, we're having to shift around.

142
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: Like sometimes Christmas morning doesn't look the way it did,

143
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: you know, back when everybody was little and lived at home.

144
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 4: You know, now sometimes we have to celebrate it on

145
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: a different day and it.

146
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: Doesn't really have to look the same as it did

147
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: when when they were kids. You know, it's sort of

148
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: morphed into what traditions are important and what.

149
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: You know isn't as important.

150
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: And of course we're having grand kids now we have

151
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: a grand baby, so this is kind of our first

152
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: big Christmas with a grand baby around. Who's you know,

153
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: walking and appreciating it and starting to you know, be

154
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 3: able to say Santa and stuff like that. So those

155
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: traditions come back again when, you know, when we have

156
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: grand babies around and everything. But some of the things

157
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: that we have maintained through the years, regardless of what

158
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: age people are or how many people are actually here

159
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 3: this year, is we love to enjoy music together and

160
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: we just you know, a couple of us play the piano,

161
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: and we have people who play a guitar, and we

162
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: have trumpet players in our family, and we have you know,

163
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: lots of people sing and so like just having fun

164
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: like sing alongs and just enjoying music.

165
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: That's such a big part of our holidays.

166
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: And besides baking, we actually and eating, we just love

167
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: the music part of it and finding any excuse to

168
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: just spend that kind of time together. But I hear

169
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: what you're saying, daff and I think that that day

170
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: after Christmas is always such like everybody gets a book,

171
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: and that time where everybody finds a separate place in

172
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: the house to go have a nap with their book

173
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: is like some of the best parts of Christmas to

174
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: look forward to.

175
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: It's just that quiet time alone and just.

176
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important because the time goes faster than you think.

177
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: And then if you work a lot and you have

178
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: a busy day and then you have this time off

179
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: and you're just going, going, going, you know, that's like

180
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: that's not good. We all have to like disconnect at times,

181
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: and yeah, decompressed.

182
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's nice in la which is always so busy,

183
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, in the entertainment istry. Everybody has two weeks

184
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: off at Christmas to New Year's so that the streets

185
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: are quiet, the town is quiet. It's such a lovely

186
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: time if you stay home to decompress. It's really magical

187
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: here at Christmas because it's the town. Everybody goes to

188
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: the Four Seasons in Maui and then you know, right.

189
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 5: No one's on the road.

190
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: I'm not going to the Four Seasons in Maui.

191
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: Now, but at the time maybe maybe I'm dating myself.

192
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: But that's what used to happen in the industry, and

193
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: now it's gotten so nice and quiet.

194
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: So you'll be here and you are you having fails.

195
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 5: I love to be here.

196
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really similar to you, Daphnel, Like I really

197
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: love my quiet time.

198
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 5: Like my favorite thing is New Year's Eve home alone.

199
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: I like to have that time when everybody's busy and

200
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: crazy that I'm home and I'm quiet and I'm cuddled

201
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: in a couple of years ago, we had a big

202
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: rainstorm and one of my girlfriends was staying with me

203
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: and she was going out to dinner with a big

204
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: group of people and I've been invited, and she's dressed.

205
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: It's eight o'clock a night. She's going out because I'm

206
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: sure you don't want to come, And I was.

207
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 5: Like, oh, absolutely sure.

208
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: I was so happy to be home on my couch

209
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: with my dogs. She's heading it and they had a

210
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: lovely time. But I was like, I love that time

211
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: to myself to really just sort of welcome in the

212
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: new year from this place of quiet and peace. And

213
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: my son and I have a tradition for Christmas, which

214
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: is not at all the traditions I grew up with,

215
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: but we make a big steak and mashed potatoes and

216
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: watch die Hard.

217
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: Well, I just.

218
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: Love that's our Christmas movie. It's so much fun. Diehard

219
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Christmas movie, Christmas and it's so much fun. Although last

220
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: year we tried to watch die Hard too, and it's

221
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: way smarter than I ever have been or ever will be.

222
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: And he goes, this is the same movie as die

223
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Hard just at an airport, and I was like, oh,

224
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: wait a minute, like I never pulled that threat.

225
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: I never that threat.

226
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, maybe Diehard three will be

227
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: better like this, just wait and see.

228
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: But it was.

229
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: Almost verbatim the same movie, same beats, and then they

230
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: got more creative with three and four. I think they've

231
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: been five Diehards. Anyway, Yeah, that's a super fun tradition.

232
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Then this year, one of my dear friends and moved

233
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: away is coming back, so it's going to be a

234
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of girls dinners times with friends. So it's going

235
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: to be that family, right like my family of women,

236
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: my family of girlfriends, which is going to be so

237
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: much fun. I'm so looking forward to it. And I

238
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: love what you said, Daft because it's so true. I

239
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: remember one time I had to do I was doing

240
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: a TV movie, and they said that. They said, I

241
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: want you to send like a holiday greeting to people,

242
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: and everyone's saying, have fun with your families, have fun

243
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: with the tree, all this stuff, And I said, but

244
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: many of us have different kinds of holidays. Like it's

245
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: really important to say you can celebrate in so many

246
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: ways or not celebrate in so many ways, because it

247
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: can be a time too. You're sitting home watching these

248
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: Christmas movies and all that looks like this big thing

249
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: that I never had, right, Like I never had the

250
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: twenty people around the tree. I never had that, and

251
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: I used to feel bad about it. Now I don't.

252
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: I really look at what do I want this season.

253
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 5: To be for me? And it can be my son

254
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: and I watching die Hard.

255
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: It can be like a New Year's Day when everybody's

256
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: home with a hangover. I love taking my dogs on

257
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: a walk.

258
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 5: In the woods.

259
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, like waking up early and celebrating the new year

260
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: with my dogs and my higher power and my inner thoughts.

261
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: It's just so beautiful when I can let go of

262
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: it has to look this way and I can let

263
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: it be whatever I want it to be in the moment.

264
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: And that's part of brwing up too. Yeah, that's part

265
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: of getting older and knowing who I am.

266
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: I've also noticed that those little magic moments can happen

267
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: at any time, Yes, anywhere. The blessings you feel that blessing,

268
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: you feel that connection, that can happen anywhere, online, at work,

269
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: in the car, It can happen anywhere. It doesn't have

270
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: to be with the perfect tree and the perfectness and

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: the perfect gift. So take the pressure off.

272
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: Well when it, you know, just the changing of the year,

273
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 3: like when it becomes a new year, I just think

274
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: that's a natural time for reflection and sort of looking back,

275
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: looking forward and regrouping whatever that is, you know, for

276
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: each person. I think that's just a natural time of that.

277
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: And it marks time, you know, the calendar changes, and

278
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: it's a marking of time.

279
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: And do you do.

280
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: Resolutions Like I don't know that I make thought about

281
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: it or resolutions, but I do think I mark the time,

282
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: like I note, like what is it that I want?

283
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 3: You know what I really I like to reflect on

284
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: the year behind and then think of what what it

285
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: is in the year ahead or the coming years ahead.

286
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: And but yeah, Courtney, are you kidding? Like I would

Speaker 4: But yeah, I one year, I got really ambitious. We

297
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: had I think another couple over it, and we made.

298
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 3: Fortune cookies for resolutions. We all wrote like little resolutions

299
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: on these little strips of paper and then baked them

300
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 3: into these fortune cookies. That was sort of fun.

301
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 5: I only did it and then did you open them?

302
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 5: Whatever one you got was your.

303
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, it wasn't like anything necessarily private, you know,

304
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: but it was like just a sharing moment, like oh

305
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: I put this one in and coming out of a

306
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: fortune cookie.

307
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 4: It was just sort of a fun way to.

308
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 5: I just kept it and get more gifts for Doug,

309
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,080

312
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 6: forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte

313
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: York on a new HBO show called Sex and the City.

314
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 6: As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

315
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,160
