It's so evident you have 217 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: the passion for it. I don't know, man, I don't 218 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: know if I could have grown up though so publicly 219 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: because you went through all the stages right of Huberty 220 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: and everything growing. 221 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 2: Up to those points, all the stages. 222 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Was it weird for you? Being so public facing throughout 223 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: most of your life, Like, did you ever have to 224 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: kind of grapple with that and figure out how am 225 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: I going to do this to protect my piece? 226 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: Sure? I mean when I was on Party of Five, 227 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: which was the most special experience. You don't get to 228 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: have six years on a show very often, No, I mean, 229 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: it's a hard thing to have. It's a unique experience. 230 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: And we were together every day for six whole years. 231 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: So I grew up from eleven to seventeen with this 232 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: group of people, these pivotal teenage years where I went 233 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: through a lot of changes on and off camera, and 234 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: then my character was going through all these first Sometimes 235 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: it was something I had experience, sometimes it was something 236 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: I hadn't. And I look back at that and I think, Wow, 237 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: I was so blessed to have had such a good 238 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: group of people around me to guide me and protect 239 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: me and shelter me. And I think about who I 240 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: am now and the woman I am now, Like it's 241 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: a huge reflection of the people that I spent those 242 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: years of my life with. 243 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: So how do you think you have changed the most 244 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: since that seven year old girl in the business, Like 245 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: where are you in your life? Now in this new chapter. 246 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: Oh good question. There's part of me that I feel 247 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: hasn't changed, and certain things that I hope don't ever change. 248 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: And then there's part that, you know, I just feel 249 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: like all of the experiences of my life had have 250 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: led me good or bad, you know, to where I 251 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: am now, easy or hard. I feel like everything is 252 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,239 Speaker 2: useful if you can look at it from the right perspective. 253 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: And I've really learned that in these last few years. 254 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: You know, life isn't always easy, but I think if 255 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 2: you can just find the good in it, there's always 256 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: joy to be had.

As I said earlier, 300 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: what's a theme in this film that you took away? 301 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: There's a few. I love the theme of community, and 302 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: especially towards the end of it, the town really comes 303 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 2: together to show up for Jack and Kathy in a way. 304 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 2: I don't want to give it away, but you know, 305 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: they really do. And I love that. I'm from a 306 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: small town in Mississippi. It'll forever be a huge part 307 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: of my heart. And you know where I'm from, and 308 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: I always felt a sense of community there and also 309 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: where we live now. And I love the theme. I mean, 310 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: the personal one I can speak to the most. Kathy is, 311 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: you know, grieving the loss of her husband. She's really 312 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: good at taking care of other people, and she herself 313 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: has fallen to the bottom of the list, and Jack 314 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: and helping him learn how to be human, he really 315 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: helps her have the courage to open up her heart again, 316 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: and I think that she needs to allow that and 317 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: forgive herself for not being able to move forward. And 318 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: there's such healing that's found in that, and I think 319 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: that's a beautiful theme. And then we're not alone. You know, 320 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: we're never alone. And I sometimes we've experiences that isolate us, 321 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: but you're never really alone, you know. We all relate 322 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: to each other on one level or another. 323 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,359 Speaker 1: And grief is something that people feel during the holidays 324 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: more than ever, right, I mean, it's a year round feeling, 325 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: but of course the holidays bring up quite a lot 326 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: for people. You miss people more, I feel like. And 327 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: the fact that you so beautifully tackle that with the 328 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: loss of your husband and yeah, you know you talk 329 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: about your explaining to the Snowman character what happened in 330 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: the kitchen, and that really touching way, I think is 331 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: going to resonate with a lot of people. I mean, 332 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: I definitely still agree with people I've lost, as I'm 333 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: sure you do, and we all do. Yeah, And it's 334 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: not a sexy thing to talk about, but the way 335 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: you highlight it is so important. 336 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm glad you said that. Yeah, I lost 337 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: my sister three years ago Thanksgiving, Meek, and so that 338 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: you know, with that coming up. I mean, I think 339 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: about my sister every minute of every day, but those 340 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: anniversaries are very, very hard. And I think that the 341 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: thing I've learned personally, And I do not mean to 342 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: sound like I have all the wisdom about this, because 343 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: I certainly don't, but it's that it's a journey. It's 344 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: a journey, and it takes every you know, every day 345 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: I learned something new, and sometimes it's a bit easier. 346 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a bit more challenging, and it sneaks up 347 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: on you sometimes. But it's okay to cry, it's okay 348 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: to miss them. And I think that those tears I 349 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 2: cry sometimes, I know that they're a way that I 350 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: also honor my sister. And I honor her by talking 351 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: about her, telling her stories. You know, she's in my head, 352 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: my inner dialogue all day long. I'm like, oh, she 353 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: would have loved this, or she would have said this 354 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: about this, or and I just I have this closeness 355 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: to her that I hope will never change, and I 356 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: know it won't because she's forever in all of our hearts. 357 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: Then you feel like they never really go away, right, Yeah, totally. 358 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: I want to share a story with you. So I 359 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: was on a flight and there was this beautiful, sweet 360 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: grandmother next to me, and she could just tell I 361 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: was having a day and I was. I was grieving 362 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: the loss of someone and it was on my mind 363 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: and it was really hard for me. I didn't want 364 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: to be on this flight. Yeah, And out of nowhere, 365 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: she reached into her bag handed me this beautiful gift 366 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: and I brought one that I want to share with 367 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: you because I was so touched by this and I 368 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: was so touched by this theme in your movie and 369 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: what this is. It's a bear hug. And she said, 370 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: I want you to have this for whenever you're having 371 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: a bad day, or if you're not and you feel 372 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: like you meet someone who's having a bad day, you 373 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: pass it on, right. So I went online and I 374 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: ordered a bunch because I loved it so much, and 375 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: this is what she handed me. Read the card out loud. 376 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: If you don't mind, I am a little pocket bear. 377 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: Squeeze me tight when feeling blue. I am here to 378 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: give you strength and warmth that will help to get 379 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: you through. 380 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: So whenever you're feeling a little down, or if you 381 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: meet someone who is, I wanted you to also have 382 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: this because I was so touched by that point in 383 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: your film that, again, it's hard to talk about. It's 384 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: a very weird thing to talk about, and not that 385 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: your movie is all about that. It's fun and silly 386 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,239 Speaker 1: and there's so many, so many things it checks off, right, 387 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: that's just a piece of it. But yeah, it's a 388 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: piece that I think is really important and I was 389 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: so touched by that that I wanted to just share 390 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: that with you maybecause it. 391 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,479 Speaker 2: Is very sweet. Yeah, it's so touching and it's so sweet, 392 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: and that's it. It's the human connection. You know, you're 393 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: sitting on a plane next to a stranger and they 394 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 2: gift you this, and now you're paying it forward and 395 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 2: gifting it to me, and it really means a lot. 396 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: And I think that is a beautiful theme in the movie. Again, 397 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: it's not too heavy. I don't want to mislead people. 398 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: It's a funny, charming movie, but it does have that 399 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: side which is so important, which is we are better together, 400 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 2: you know, we are better together and leaning on each other. 401 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: And I find it so comforting when I find someone 402 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 2: who understands and someone I can relate to and go, oh, 403 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: I've been there before. So that's why I enjoy making 404 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: these kind of movies that are so feel good, because 405 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: so many of them are characters that are at crossroads 406 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: in their life or having to make decisions or you know, 407 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: monumental events or just everyday events. But to see the 408 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 2: humanity in it and that we're really more like than 409 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: it's indifferent. 410 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: And it's a movie that appeals to everyone, all different 411 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: walks of life. Right, It's a really bonding experience. Sit 412 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: around your TV and watch a holiday film. 413 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 2: Totally, and it's so funny. The cast of characters in this, 414 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 2: I mean Craig and Joe and Katie and Lauren, like 415 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: everybody's just hilarious. And that was like one of the 416 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: hardest things for me on set was not laughing and 417 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: not breaking, you know, when there was a lot of 418 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: improv going on and so much fun. 419 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: Well, and I feel like the movie could be set 420 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: up for other installments. Oh there's a lot of story 421 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: to tell. Yeah, you know, I'm not giving away the ending, 422 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: but I do feel like there's a lot there and 423 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: it really reminded me almost of like an Elf type 424 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: of movie. Yeah, I know. 425 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: I thought Tustin was so good and that's a hard 426 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: part to bring to life, to be a snowman, yeah, 427 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: you know, and what does that look like? And what's 428 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: the physicality? And he's such physical comedy. He was so 429 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: brave and bold and it was just fun to be 430 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 2: a scene partner. 431 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: Must have made your crack up oh so much. 432 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there were things that didn't end up in 433 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: the movie, and some scenes that didn't end up in 434 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: the movie, and inevitably stuff has to be caught, you know, 435 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 2: it runs long or whatever. But there was some stuff 436 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: they do. It was just absolutely hilarious. And there are 437 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: some bloopers at the end, which I love that they 438 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 2: surprised us with that I didn't know that was happening. 439 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: Oh really. 440 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And when I was watching the movie for the 441 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: first time, I was like, oh my gosh, it brought 442 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: back the best memory. 443 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: Lacy. The name of my show is called I've never 444 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: said this before, and this question came up because I've 445 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: done a lot of work on red carpets and you 446 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: get three minutes with somebody, Yeah, maybe a minute a half, 447 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Like it's very short, and I could always tell people 448 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: were creating longer connection and talking about something real. So 449 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: I always kind of wrap up my interviews with this question. 450 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, is there anything you can think of 451 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: whatever that question means to you but you've never said, 452 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: and you want to share it today? 453 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 2: I think I would share I was really inspired to 454 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 2: say this, especially being back in New York City, which 455 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: is where my whole career started, and I was first 456 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: and Lama's a Rob on Broadway and being a part 457 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: of theater. I think it really taught me the work 458 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 2: ethic that I have. What it is to be a 459 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: part of a team. The show must go on, you 460 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: must always be there for each other. I have so 461 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: many good memories of being Lamis, So I would think 462 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 2: I would like to share that I would love to 463 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 2: do Broadway again. Really absolutely love to be in a 464 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 2: musical or play at some point in my career, and 465 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: I would love to return to the stage. 466 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: Is there a dream role, like a dream show or role. 467 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm a theater keek, so it's very exciting conversation. I'll 468 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: give you for another half hours, so I will wrap 469 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: it up. 470 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: But is there a dreaming a lame is? I was 471 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 2: young cosette, young Eponine, and I got to understudy Gavroche, 472 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 2: which I got to play a few times, which was 473 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 2: so exciting. But as a young cosette, young Ebanine, I 474 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: always wanted to play adult Eponine, which she's supposed to 475 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: be like eighteen. So the time has passed. But at 476 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 2: some point, for one night only even I would love 477 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 2: to play Eponine and limsrel Oh my god. I mean 478 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: I kind of play it every other night in my 479 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: kitchen and I sing it as dream. I put on 480 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: many performances for my family. 481 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: You're like coach, put me in maybe a one night show. 482 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: I would love it. There are places in. 483 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: The city like fifty four below and if you've anything, yes, creators. 484 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, at the end of the year 485 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: it can manifest that maybe you will do that. 486 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: I would love that, But I think just to return 487 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: to theater, there is nothing like that feeling, that buzz 488 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 2: of like a live audience entertaining. So doing a show 489 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: that you may have done a couple hundred times at 490 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: this point, but it has to be like it's the 491 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: first time because it's the first time that audience has 492 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 2: seen it. It's just the most gratifying experience. And to 493 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: be there with everyone together and just thinking about it, 494 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 2: it makes me. It makes me feel excited. So I 495 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: hope I have the chance to do that in my career. 496 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: Something tells me or the type that when you put 497 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: your mind to it, it happens. 498 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: And now that I've said it, I think on tape. 499 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Right, it has to happen. Now, there's no way. 500 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to try to make it happen. 501 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: That's amazing.
