But this 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.680 is where I break down the bits from the show 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.600 this week and playing back for you in case you 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.839 missed him, in case you want to relive it or 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.560 anything like that. So here we go. Brooke Shields was 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.200 on with us this week and she talks about the 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.640 movie that her and our own Amy Brown are in 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.240 called Holiday Harmony, coming out on HBO Max on Thanksgiving, 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.880 so be sure to check that out download HBO Max 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.159 so you're all ready to go for next week. But 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.720 she also talked about her career and being a child 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.880 star and what her normal life kind of looked like 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.680 for her growing up, and it was just a really 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.360 cool interview. I've never heard a lot of stories about Brookshields, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.119 so it was cool to hear them from her, and 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.040 she was super vulnerable and open, which is always a 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.600 fun interview. So check this one out right now. Number seven, 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.080 Friday Morning conversation with Brookshields Brooke, Good morning, how are you? Oh? 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.360 I'm good. How are you? I'm doing pretty good. I 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.479 was listening to your podcast. Man, you guys go right 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.320 at it. I mean, it's like it's like real deal stuff. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.800 It's you go right to the point. It's very vulnerable, 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.560 but it's also like super authentic. What you're so famous? 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.520 Did you have some some urge to just put it 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.760 all out there? Finally? You know? It's it's funny. I 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.360 just um, when you've been around this long, you sort 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.399 of find that there are only certain areas in which 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.600 you really get to be authentically yourself and heard, and 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.840 that's in writing a book or doing something that is 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.000 relatively life like, like a podcast. I never really set 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.080 out to do a podcast, but now what came to 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.440 my mine one day and I said, you know, everybody 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.360 that you think you know, or that you have an 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.280 expectation about or a preconception, they've all had these now 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.160 loat moments, And I thought, I think people know that 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.040 I'm not going to try to catch them in something. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.200 But I'm vulnerable enough so that they feel safe, you know. 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.280 I mean, it's it's an odd thing. I'm having so 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.880 much fun with it. I'm getting better at it. I 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:28.239 was a little I was a little not very journalistic 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.240 in the beginning. I basically, having been on the other 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.839 side for so many decades, I would find myself giving 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.800 them permission not to answer any of the questions. And 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.400 then I got better at it. Have you found yourself 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.919 sharing a story and then going, oh, man, was that 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.440 did I just share too much? Like having to actually question? 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.239 And then you allowed it to exist, but then you 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.600 were happy you did. What would be an example of 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.120 that where you were like, oh, I'm really putting it 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:58.240 out there. I think, you know, really just airing insecurities 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.760 in a way that is not polished. You know. I 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.919 will say, a book you can sort of you you 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.280 can work with words and you can sort of get 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.320 what you want out, but but you're still sort of 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:13.600 hiding behind a book. And I think just admitting to 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.680 being scared at times and really insecure and and you know, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.480 falling into the traps that other women over forty. I'm 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.200 fifty seven, but Steel and you know, as you're saying it, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.400 you're you think, oh God, am I going to sound 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.880 like I'm whining or poor me? And and then you 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.240 listen to it and you're thinking, no, it's just I'm 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.560 I am a woman like many other women, and we 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.800 all go through things, so it's scary at first, but 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.520 then when you hear it, you think, I've been really honest. 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.080 How are you getting I know the answer, probably because 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.160 you're just cool and have a lot of cool friends. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.080 Are you get a lot of a A plus less guests? 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.520 Do you have to lure them in, like, come on, guys, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:54.800 trust me, it's a lot of fun. Or they just 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.080 pretty willing to hop in as well. I think they're 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.000 pretty willing to hop in. I mean a lot of 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.600 it is, you know, around they don't want to do 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.040 it unless they're promoting something, which I totally understand, or 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.000 if it's too close around a certain incident that is 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.080 so fraught in people's minds, you know, they're a bit hesitant. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.480 And but nobody has said anything is off limits. And 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.600 there have been people that have been that are very 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.279 clear in how they want to answer the question before 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.479 the question even gets asked, And there are some that are, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.040 you know, just very skilled at not answering the question, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.960 and even those people have at the end said wow, 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.039 you kind of got that out of me. But it 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.800 didn't feel mean, or it didn't feel like an I 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.599 gotcha moment, or it didn't feel like it pulled out 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.200 headline that that's what's gonna that's the sound bite that 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.720 we're gonna just base the whole interview on. I did 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.279 see a clip that, again was a sound bite, because again, 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.600 you talk about so much, but I saw there was 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.000 one where you were talking about actors that you had dated, 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.040 and it kind of became a big story. Do you 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.600 know sometimes when you're telling these stories that it's probably 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.840 going to be picked up. Yeah, oh yeah. I mean 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.440 I joke with my publicist because I'll say, I'll say 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.880 under my breath, I'll say SoundBite or you know, that's 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:16.080 the headline, and it becomes just a game because it 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:21.040 seems so reductive and typical, and you know what I mean, 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.080 it's like everybody's desperate for the for the SoundBite and 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.000 the one line. You know, this has started since I 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.640 was a virgin, and that became everybody's main focus, which 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:37.000 is ridiculous. On many levels. So I've been dealing with 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.520 this for a few decades. Now, do you feel like 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.000 you had at all a normal childhood? You know, I've 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.200 ben't asked that question forever, and I don't know what 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:52.600 normal is. Conventional. No, when other kids were playing soccer 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.840 or whatever the sports were, I was going to photo 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.520 studios at Avidans and Googolo and you know do I 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.240 was earning a living, so it's not conventional. But my 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:09.040 mom never let me leave go to professional children's school, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.800 and I never lived in Los Angeles until until I 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.679 was doing a television show, and so there was this 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.359 work life and then real life, and real life was 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.760 with my mom and then with my dad in separate 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:26.800 families and regular school. So for you know, until I 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.080 was twenty in my twenties, well twenty one, I was 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.320 in a regular school schedule, and that was about as 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:38.200 normal and as normally pressured as it can be. My 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:45.040 vacations were not conventional, and my extracurricular activities were not, 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:49.360 but my mom always made the production send a girlfriend 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.640 with me, or send my sister with me, and so 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.000 I always had this sort of grounding of a twelve 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.840 year old, a thirteen year old. A fifteen year old, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:59.880 I wasn't always surrounded by adults, so the two of 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.400 us could sort of get together and giggle about how 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.760 crazy we thought adults were. So to me, I think, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.960 I think it's actually pretty normal, almost more normal than 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.200 some of my normal friends. Do you what I find 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.240 it super impressive about you is that you went to Princeton. 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.200 I mean, do you find people are often shocked at 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:23.600 that fact? Always they were shocked the day I got in, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.480 and then the whole kind of campaign started with why 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.960 did she get in? Did she just get in because 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.600 she was famous? And then when I get to school, 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.880 all the teachers wanted to make sure that they weren't 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.360 ye giving me any extra, so they graded me harder 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:42.480 and they were, you know less, they just because they 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.200 had something to prove as well. And then over time 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.240 just my work ethic was so intact. What was strange 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.400 was coming out of college my freshman term, first term, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:08:00.920 freshman year and having a press conference because they thought, 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.280 you know, if you do a press conference about what 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.880 it's like, what you're you know, your real life is like, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:13.000 they'll leave you alone. And the press were shocked by 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.320 a level of maturity that they hadn't seen in me prior. Yeah, 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.320 I wasn't looking to anybody for my answers anymore. I wasn't. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.680 I wasn't worrying that an answer wasn't going to be okay. 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.880 And I was using bigger words, you know, because here 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.480 I am at Princeton thinking I better use bigger words. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.080 And I don't think they liked it. They didn't like 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.240 non malleable Brook. Suddenly Susan was a show I watched 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.360 all the time, loved it, And a lot of these 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.080 shows are coming back reboot formed. Have they come to 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.800 you and said, let's do Suddenly Susan again? If they did, 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.000 I'd probably say yes without even them getting the question out. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.720 But I don't think that we were ever. First of all, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.920 they canceled us at ninety eight, so we never Yeah, 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.440 it was all a nice little plan that they had intact, 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.520 which idea know about which I will say I've got 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.839 a little bitterness or maybe a lot of bitterness about that, 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:11.200 but not from a syndication financial standpoint, just from you know, 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.880 how wonderful it was to do that show. I mean, 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:19.120 we just were so happy, and then tragedy befell the 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.520 show and we lost one of our cast members, and 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.960 it kind of was never the same again. And I 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.520 think I think Warner Brothers or NBC would probably argue 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.840 we were never a big enough hit to merit a reboot. 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.360 Now shows get picked up for eight or nine. We 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.000 never had a season that was fewer than twenty three, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.960 twenty two, twenty six, you know, so it in these 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.360 days that would be a huge hit. And then back then, 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.040 you know, we didn't get two hundreds, so they sort 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.920 of checked us off. I can't believe they got it 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.160 to ninety eight purposefully. And yeah, well then that's almost 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.600 I mean, I mean, that's mean. Well, I think it's 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.560 a financial thing. I mean, all these things end up 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.400 being financial, you know. You we think they're personal because 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.440 we're living in it day in and day out, and 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.080 we're performing in front of a live audience, and we're 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.840 having to think on our feed and we're getting new 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.160 scripts every day, so we're so in it. And and 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.120 then you realize, oh, it's just a money game. After 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.959 a certain number, this entity doesn't pay for a production anymore. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.680 It switches over to this entity and they may or 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.480 may not want to do that. So it's the same 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:30.880 thing that happened suddenly Lipstick Jungle. We were number one 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.319 for a while, and then Tvo came into existence and 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:40.000 practically overnight all of our advertisers pulled out because people 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.520 were fast forwarding through the commercials. So it didn't even 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.640 matter how much people loved us watching us. They wanted 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.480 to fast forward through the commercials, and there for all 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.960 that money practically overnight gets now you know. Now they 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.120 found ways around it. But we were right at the 0:10:55.640 --> 0:11:00.240 on the sort of precipice of TiVos, so that was 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.280 sort of you know, that happened too. So these things 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.640 you'd think they're mean only because they feel personal. And 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.280 the older I get, the less personal I realize it 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.120 all is right. Now we're talking to actress Brookshield. Hey, 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.920 how good are you at memorizing scripts? So I have 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.360 about twelve pages to do tomorrow for this project that 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.559 I'm doing, and I have not started to memorize it. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.000 But you can you can do do all twelve in 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.360 a night? Yeah, I can. I have this. It's some 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.800 a You have to put yourself in a position where 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.160 you can still listen, and that's the that's the trick, 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:39.880 so that you're not just reciting words but I memorize 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:43.160 things based on where they are on the page. So 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.199 when I think about where a page as I have highlighted, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.840 I'm such a geek bout. I mean, I highlight and 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.120 I note and I make red notes. And my husband says, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.600 you're such a dork, But um, yeah, I don't. I'm 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:01.320 I'm trained to have to think quickly. You know a 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.680 lot of the time when you do these commercials, before 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.280 they had teleprompters and before they had in back in 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.640 my day, you know, or in the day. I still 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.479 feel like it's my day, but you didn't have teleprompters. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.640 You had to memorize everything. And so I think I 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.160 just got trained. Brookshields is on with us, and I 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.320 encourage you guys to check out our podcast now what 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.160 with Brookshields. It is a very authentic, very vulnerable. It's 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.680 an original podcast that examines pivotal moments and people's lives. Again, 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.320 it's very honest. It's a great podcast. And then also 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.480 thank you coming from you, that's a that's a big deal. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.040 I mean, this is I'm coming into a world I've 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.320 I've never been in. And then it's been very well received, 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.520 and I thank you, and I didn't think people would 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.600 really want to hear me anymore in my life and 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.840 people do se do want to be interested in hearing 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.960 my guests. Well, I hope people check it out. And 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.040 then there's also Holiday Harmony coming out on HBO Acts 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.840 and so when that when a movie like that comes 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.320 to you and we have a special interest here with 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.280 that movie because if you put the Cameron me for 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.000 one second, Amy has like four line five lines are 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.440 still in the movie, and yes she does, and you 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.960 see her in the trailer. I mean she looked so 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.320 beautiful in the trail. As I didn't get to meet you. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.000 Oh I know. I was there the last day of filming, 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.240 so you've already done with your scenes. And I was 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.120 definitely excited to possibly see you. So to see you 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.240 now fun. So I was. I was way up with 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.000 the alpaca farmers and up in northern cal They didn't 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.360 bring me to Hollywood. How does like a Christmas movie? 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.320 Because It's been Amy's dream forever to do like a 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.880 holiday movie and now they're super cool again, and how 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.120 does a Christmas movie come to you? Do you go, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.800 I'd like to do a holiday movie because they are 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.320 so cool now, or do they go Brook, we got 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.520 this perfect idea. It's a really good movie for the holidays. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.160 For a while, holiday movies were sort of taboo, you know, 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.800 they were they were sort of, Oh, you're doing a 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.760 Hollywood movie. That means like it's not I mean, you're 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.480 doing a Christmas movie or a holiday movie. That means 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.000 that you're not doing real edgy stuff. Well for sure, 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.120 all I've never really been a g in that way. 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.960 They come to me and I'm prepared to not like 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:11.680 them because they're pretty formulaic. And then every now and 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.200 then one will come up, or two now and twisted 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.000 my second one, but that will touch a chord and 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.320 be an escape. And I think that that's what that's 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.680 what I love about them, is if they're especially if 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.320 they're directed well, and if they have enough of a 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.640 story that does deviate from just the regular holiday Christmas 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.440 formula movie. And I mean I read a lot of them, 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.560 and I don't say yes to most of them. I 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:47.440 did one last year for Netflix, which was extraordinarily popular 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.720 and it was so much fun to do, and it 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.160 was called Castle for Christmas. And these movies come out again. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.000 It's funny because they then they bring them back out 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.440 again for the next holiday, and you're sort of like, oh, 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:04.600 I just think for me rom coms, holiday movies they're 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.120 based in joy. You sort of know how they're going 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.160 to turn out, but you still want to be on 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.400 the journey with it and just looking at the news 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.600 and just being in the world. It's just so hard 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.720 these days that these kind of movies are wonderful escape. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.280 I would compare holiday movies now to game shows, where 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.960 for a long time I wouldn't take a game show 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.400 because I was like, game shows are hokey, and if 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.520 if I ever do and host a game show, then 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.680 I'm always going to be a game show host. However, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.680 then but now they're really cool again. I think Steve 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.240 Harvey kind of brought that back where you could be 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.880 a real talent and be funny, and then everybody's doing 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.840 game shows, and now everybody wants to do a game show. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.800 I would I think those two kind of run alongside 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.280 each other. I think you made a great point there. 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.520 For a long time it was like, we don't want 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.720 to do that, but now like you almost want to 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.360 do host a game show or a holiday movie. Well, 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.840 you know, it's funny because everything is, you know, everybody. 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.320 There was a time when oh, you would never be 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.560 a TV actress. Oh god, no, you know, and then 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.880 you know when Helen Hunt comes and does you know? 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.200 Mad about you? And I was obsessed with it and 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:05.920 I was like, wait a minute, she could do it. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.840 I can do that. And prior to them, you wouldn't 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.640 touch TV, you know. And then there are all these 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.920 sort of taboos that come around, and I think, slowly 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.600 but surely, the joy that is in all of these 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:23.800 emerges and everything's I don't think there's anything off limits anymore. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.840 I think the crossover is I mean amazing. You know, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.480 look at what Julie Roberts and Clooney just did, did 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.800 a rom com sort of movie like that, and we 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.440 just flocked to it because it opens up your heart 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.520 a little bit and it's escapism. Well, Brooke, we're big fans. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.320 And I hope everybody checks out now what with Brooke Shields. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.760 It's a wonderful podcast, and I hope they check out 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.440 Brooke and her co star Amy. Yes. Yes, Holiday Harmony 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.160 on HBO Max. That is out November twenty fourth, which 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.240 is Thanksgiving, right, Yeah, it's Thankgiming Day. And I was 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.800 told by Lauren Swickard, who's one of the writers and 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.280 producers that I guess I technically am a supporting role. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:12.520 That's my oscar for supporting actress. Yes, yes, yes, Brooke, 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.720 big fan. Thank you very much, good luck with the podcast, 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.920 and we appreciate your time this morning. Thank you. I 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.560 appreciate yours. Hope to see you in person one day. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.160 All right, breast, it's the best bits of the week 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.520 with Morgan number two. This segment is going to make 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.440 a lot more sense when you hear the number one 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.640 this week. But you know, we're just in the order 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.359 of the way that things happen, so we're letting it go. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.040 I matched with somebody on a dating app that's been 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.400 in the news for their relationship to a country star, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.040 and the show tried to guess who it was. I 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.000 never revealed who it was, and some of y'all online 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.920 we're very mad that we do segments where we don't 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.399 reveal things. But you know, there's always some fun in 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.200 a little mystery. Why did we all like Scooby Doo 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.680 and Ghostbusters because there's mystery people, it's fun to guess 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.800 things and you might never know who it is, or 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.639 you know, five years I may reveal who knows, but 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.200 it was fun. Everybody tried to figure it out and 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.359 had a good time with it. And yes, this is 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.639 a true thing that happened. I'm not making it up. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.080 This is real. I have screenshots to prove it. Some 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.240 people on the show. I've seen it. So listen for yourself. 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:16.159 Let me know who you think it might be. You 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.199 can shoot me a message and have some fun with it. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.440 Just enjoy the mystery people. Okay, Number six, Morgan said 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.520 on the show yesterday she's single again after a year 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.160 and she's been dating on Hinge the app. It's been 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:31.520 going okay, but I know, you know, maybe you guess 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.720 can figure it out because I don't know who it is, Morgan, 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.720 tell them what happened. So someone tried to match with 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.120 me on the dating app. And there's somebody that has 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.800 been in the news a lot for their relationship to 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.760 a country star, and she's not going to confirm or 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.199 deny regardless of what we say. Hold on, hold on, 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.480 But that's the clue, someone who's been in the news, 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.639 so it has to be yet. Yeah, yeah, okay, let 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.280 me think hold on. Don't don't spoil because no, no, 0:18:57.320 --> 0:18:59.840 don't give me anything. Hold on dating a country star, 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.400 so it has to be wait, you're assuming dating, oh 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.520 married if they're yeah, they were married. I never even 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.320 thought about Mary. Yeah, it could be either. Why are 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:10.879 you writing something down? I want to show you. No, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.240 I want to guess. Oh, I can't think of anybody. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:14.960 Can have some fun. That's the point. I want to 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.320 have fun. You guys always get to play the game 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.240 to show you who I think it is. Yes, because 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:22.639 I have no one, we probably have show Okay, maybe, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.280 but now I'm not buying it. Oh no, that's not 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:26.879 what I know. Do I know him? Do I know 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:32.800 him really? Well? Yeah? No? No, oh then it's not Morgan. No, guys, 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:38.280 show you Bobby not confirming denying anything. You just deny. 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.600 I would saying no to you that you don't know them. Well, sorry, 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.359 I was refeating myself not to google that person. That's interesting, Amy, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.919 you have to google that person? Hey what Amy has? 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.440 Whatever Amy says, I'm gonna say out loud, but whatever. 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.320 I want you to just go regardless of what I say, 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.720 just go. Who knows. I want you to already have 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.040 your response ready so people don't judge it based off 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.280 your tone. So whatever I say, go up, who knows Amy? 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.520 Who do you have? I can't you want me to 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.520 say the name? Okay. The only reason why I say 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.239 in the news right now is I just read an 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.560 article about him yesterday. Just things are being said about him. 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.919 No I know who it is, Oh, Jenna kramers Us, 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.399 who knows? Okay? No, No, I know, I know, I know. Okay, Again, 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.560 this is all speculation. Morgan just told me, and she 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.920 didn't even tell me. I will say that I did 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:31.359 not swipe right on him for a reason. See yeah, 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:37.400 because because yeah, is it a note to who? I said? Well, 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.240 who knows? Okay? Nice? So the only clue is they're 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.840 in the news for for being was it a marriage 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:49.480 or was it a day eating? Who knows who? I 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.600 got a question? Was Casey Musgrave's ex husband a musician? Yeah? 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:54.920 I don't know who he is, but that it could 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.720 be him. He's not in the news right now. Did 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.960 we say right now? No? Yes? Did not right now? 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.359 I just said in the news for who they dated 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:08.119 as a country star dated Amy, they weren't married, who knows? 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.160 Who knows? So it could have been Casey Muskrat. I mean, 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.480 I don't know who that is her ex husbands Rust 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:17.400
