29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: we were talking about blind dates, and like, it sounds

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: like Daphne has some blind dates of her own.

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,479

Speaker 5: You want to hear about that?

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 2: Well, I'm well, we were. I met him in New York.

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: I was set up with a guy, a man who

37
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: lived in New York while outside of New York, and

38
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: I thought, I have nothing in common with him? What

39
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: am What am I going to do with a devorcee

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: in Connecticut?

41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 5: What part of your life? How old are you?

42
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: Like?

43
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 5: Where are you in your life eighteen years ago?

44
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: However old I was then? Okay, twenty's with twenty.

45
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: You know you're old when, like the joke is thirty

46
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: or forty.

47
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 5: I like that kind of math though it's like eighteen

48
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: years ago.

49
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: But I'm not telling you how whatever it wasn't in

50
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: my you know, youth and childhood.

51
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: But I'm going to keep this short, because I want

52
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: to hear about your dates.

53
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: I need you guys to divulge.

54
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: But at any rate, the date started in New York

55
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: City one weekend and ended a week later in Miami

56
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: South Beach, and I am now married to him.

57
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 5: So good.

58
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, so they do buy the cow when they

59
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: get the milk for Hey.

60
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: What's the cow with the sausage for free?

61
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 5: Such a feminist, I am. Yeah, what a beautiful, like

62
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 5: blind date story. I love that?

63
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: And set you up? Did you tell us?

64
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you, just a friend, irrelevant, but someone

65
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: who knew him for a long time. And I was

66
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: it's funny because I said, what does he do? And

67
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: he said he works at the Bronx Zoo. And instantly

68
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: like a like an elephant someone shoveling elephant pool.

69
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 5: Picture, like a maintenance man who set me up with?

70
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's like, no, he does PR press and

71
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: PR for publicity and branding for the zoo.

72
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

73
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: And then I didn't meet him for three weeks before

74
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: we had the date. We were on the phone and

75
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: email a lot, and what was so refreshing and so

76
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: wonderful was just how honest you don't play games at

77
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: that age? I was in my mid forties, and I

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: didn't think it was going to work because he lived

79
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: way over in Connecticut, and you know what I mean,

80
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: he had a kid at home, and I just didn't

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: think it was going to work. So I had nothing

82
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: to lose. I wasn't trying to be anything, and he

83
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: wasn't trying to do either. So we were just very

84
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: honest with each other, and it really really created a

85
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: trust and a circle of you know, just friendship and

86
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: trust and it was and other stuff. It was just

87
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: really great. So I love We were long distance for

88
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: the first three years until moved out here once his

89
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: son was Wow left.

90
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: You did not have like the Claire problem and the

91
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: like the opposite taste problem that Billy had with his

92
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: Blain date.

93
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: I did not have that problem at all. Yeah, I

94
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: mean we were We're very different. This guy is East Coast,

95
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: grew up in private schools, you know, very proper mannered. I,

96
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: as I told you before, was very scrappy kid in Berkeley, California,

97
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like my public schools the

98
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: whole way. So we were very opposite. But again it

99
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: was something about he wasn't playing games. He called me

100
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: right away and his voice and was like, A man,

101
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, there was just something I could tell

102
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: in his voice. And then we just really trust each

103
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: other because we opened up to each other before we

104
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: even met, and we were very honest about being nervous

105
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: about meeting. I was like, and then I just go,

106
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: can we just make a deal that if it just

107
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: doesn't work for whatever reason for either one of us,

108
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: we can just call it a day and call it

109
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: quits and no hard feelings. And he's like, yes, please, okay, okay, good.

110
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: So it was we had that kind of understanding, so

111
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: a fun as opposed to like pressure. And he didn't

112
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: live here, so I think, like Billy and Ol, when

113
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: you do a blind date, you usually live in the

114
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: same town and you just kind of feel like, oh,

115
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: if you don't like it, how am I going to

116
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: extract myself from it? But he lives so far away.

117
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 2: I was like, it doesn't work, I'll never see him again,

118
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: you know, so, but it did.

119
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 4: That was eighteen years.

120
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 5: Ago, very happy ending to that story.

121
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a great guy. I'm very very smart. So, uh,

122
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 2: what about you guys? Any blind dates that were great

123
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: or horrible?

124
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: Horrible? I never married a blind date. No, wait did I?

125
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 4: How did you meet your husband?

126
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 5: I love that you genuinely had to double think that. Wait, wait,

127
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 5: let me double check my memory.

128
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, my son's dad and I met on an airplane plane.

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: But I I don't like blind dates.

130
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: Because I think they're so much pressure before you meet,

131
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: and there is so much about It's not about like

132
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: someone looking a specific way, but but chemistry and attraction,

133
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: that something that you can't really put a name on.

134
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: It's important. So I'm not a fan.

135
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I just find that I find there's so much anxiety

136
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: around a blind date and it rarely works out.

137
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 4: What do you think, Laura, Well.

138
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 5: I've never been on one.

139
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: I've never really been on a blind date, so I'm fascinated.

140
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: I want to hear all about your back.

141
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: We, Doug, understand if we set you up on a

142
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: blind date, so you its timing.

143
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: I think it's maybe not a good idea right now.

144
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 5: This is just not a good time for Listen.

145
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: She's happily married, but she's gorgeous and she's funny.

146
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: So it's a blind and really bad idea date. Yeah, no,

147
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: let's not do it. But daph I'd like to hear

148
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: about some that were really bad. Let's I want to

149
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: hear some like really well, I mean, I'm prepare to tell.

150
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I just remember once in I think maybe

151
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: it was college or shortly after. There's just no no chemistry,

152
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I remember that. But

153
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 3: I've met most of my people not through blind dates.

154
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: This was rare because I never, you know, met a

155
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: blind date. I never tried online or anything. I was

156
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: always through a friend or work or something.

157
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: You know.

158
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: So but my friend said, actually I had two blind

159
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: dates in New York. That's so funny. And I, you know,

160
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: I started talking to David right away on emails, and

161
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: then you know, I emailed the other guy who waited

162
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: a long time to get to me, and I was like, oh,

163
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you. There's another guy that

164
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: I was set up on it. I was totally honest

165
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: with him. So if I don't meet you, that's because

166
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: I had a really great time Saturday night. I don't

167
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: meet you. And he's like, oh, man, I waited too long,

168
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 2: and I've looked him up since he's married, has kids,

169
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: he's very happily married. But I didn't meet with the guy.

170
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: I told him I'm not gonna meet him because time

171
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 2: with David.

172
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: Oh you already liked him and that's very sweet.

173
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I was wondering while we were thinking

174
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 2: about this question, like, isn't so many people meet online?

175
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: Now?

176
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: Isn't that kind of a blond?

177
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a whole thing that we kind of in

178
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: our youth we never had to contend with, right we

179
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: But now that's I guess.

180
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of blind whether the thing.

181
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but none of it is because you have social

182
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: media and you can actually look them up. It's not

183
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: blind as in like a visual you can look and

184
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: see what this person presents themselves to look like.

185
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: But it's also curated, right, so it's not like you're

186
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: actually knowing them. But I think what I know from

187
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: the kids, the kids, I know they want to get

188
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: back to a more organic way of meeting because all

189
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: of this online stuff, like I said, it's curated. They're

190
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: putting forth their best, this image, this idea they have

191
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: of themselves. But people are wanting to meet in person again,

192
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: They're wanting to go out, they're doing meetups. They're all

193
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: these apps that are about like meeting in groups. I

194
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: just saw something about there's like it was a it

195
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: was a like a walking club.

196
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: For people to meet, and it's got hundreds of people.

197
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: Now I go and they meet each other because they're

198
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: ready for something more.

199
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: Or mm hmmm. Yeah, I think that sounds like a

200
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: better way to do it, right, I mean back to

201
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: kind of like what it's supposed to be.

202
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 5: You meet.

203
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's what we did. Apparently you have to leave

204
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: the house though, that's the hard part.

205
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 5: Oh there's.

206
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: Always something you should be able to, like delivery. I

207
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: guess you can, but that would be an escort.

208
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: So you Okay, we've just gone a firefield.

209
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 5: We have some fan questions. I think we've been Oh good,

210
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 5: let's trying to get back to right.

211
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes we forget and we get off on a tangent.

212
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: But there were some fan questions about well, right on

213
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: the heels of our episode about a photo shoot. We

214
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: had some fan questions about photoshoots.

215
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: We've done a lot of them for the show.

216
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, like if we if we remembered any in particular,

217
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: and what are our memories about our photoshoots that we did.

218
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: We've talked about the one for I think it was

219
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: was it interview magazine where we were all out in

220
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: the desert somewhere and it was an entire weekend from

221
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: like six am to eight pm both days.

222
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: Do you remember that? And you and Grant were on

223
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: a motorcycle?

224
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 2: Oh my god, do.

225
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: You remember that one?

226
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't think I do.

227
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 4: I bet I have that somewhere in mine. I should

228
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: go look for some.

229
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 5: If it was first season, then I don't remember it.

230
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 5: I didn't. I wasn't in any in the first season.

231
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: You know. It came to my mind.

232
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: Remember the one we did for Entertainment Weekly, the reunion one.

233
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 5: The reunion shoot is fresher in our memory.

234
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then we all had cell phones and that's

235
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: where we all exchange numbers.

236
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: It was so nice to reach out.

237
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: I were connected today, isn't that sweet?

238
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

239
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: That was a great one. That's when we were all

240
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: in black and we had a right and we have

241
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: a fig picture of the three of.

242
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 3: Us kind of like it was such a it was

243
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: such a nice experience, sort of like older grown ups, like, yes,

244
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: you know, being that like because our photo shoots when

245
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: we were on this show, and it was crazy and

246
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 3: we were already exhausted and we were shooting these things

247
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: on our weekends. You know, and there's just kind of

248
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: like a lot of stress and pressure around it trying

249
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 3: to have eight nine, you know, ten people in a

250
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: photo shoot, or sometimes when it was just the women,

251
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: even like it's just a lot of women and five

252
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 3: women or whatever.

253
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 5: But there it's just a little bit stressful.

254
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: There's a high pressure and getting everybody you know, into

255
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: the right wardrobe, and there's a time crunch and everything.

256
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: They're a little bit stressful. And for some reason, the.

257
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: One that was a reunion shoot in two thousand and whatever,

258
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: that was twelve two thousand and nine something like that, whatever,

259
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: the twenty fifth reunion issue was, it was we were

260
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: just not as pressured.

261
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: It just felt a lot more relaxed.

262
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: Were grown up.

263
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that that iconic the Rolling Stone cover the.

264
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: And that was like time.

265
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the five women on that And that's

266
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: a photograph that kind of reappears a lot. Is like

267
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: it was a really cool thing to be on the

268
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: cover of Rolling Stone magazine And the headline or that

269
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: or that caption for the photo was Melrose Place bod Squad.

270
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: Remember that, the bod Squad?

271
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember I said this last time, and you said,

272
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: let's wait with Courtney here. It was so stressful. Do

273
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: you remember that, court I do. It was very horrible,

274
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: and it was horrible. It was so stressful. There's a

275
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: true story behind it. I don't know if I'm going

276
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: to out it here or not, but at any rate,

277
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: we got to do a lot of different shots and

278
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: I thought it was fun and creative, but there was.

279
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 3: And there were shots on the insight some inside photos too, right, Yeah, it.

280
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: Just felt I think as we were so young, it

281
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: just felt so intense. And when we met again as adults, Yeah,

282
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: it's all in perspective, like there was so much attention

283
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: on us.

284
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 4: There was so much pressure on us.

285
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: Now it's like, oh, you know, you wish you could

286
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: go back and just do it with the lightness we

287
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: have now right that we know we have a better

288
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: sense of what's important.

289
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: Then there was so much intensity.

290
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, honest, at that time, I have it in a

291
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: much better place, you know.

292
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: I think also, you guys, that intensity didn't come from

293
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: us necessarily. It came from the people behind us. It

294
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 2: came from like our representatives and like you know, your

295
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: publicists were there and your managers are there, and everyone

296
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: has like an agenda that you are just doing a

297
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: shoot and working with like, you know, your friends that

298
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: you like, all of us got along, all of us

299
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: really liked each other. And then I just felt like

300
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: the soup got so mixed with the photographer and they

301
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: have an ego and the magazine wants a certain thing,

302
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: and the costumer and this and that and.

303
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: The other thing, and I just thought like, yeah, and

304
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: I can't think about how different it was when we

305
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: did our photo shoot for this podcast, and how late

306
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: it was, and it's just us and we're making our

307
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: own calls, we're driving ourselves, we're exchanging clothes, Like how

308
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: fun that was?

309
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: You guys, We've gone from being the bod Squad to

310
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 3: now being the pod Squad. I love it, Aura, I

311
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: like the Pod Squad. It's super like happy, relaxing and

312
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: super not streff. But you're right, daffl Like there was

313
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 3: always kind of an agenda from people in the shoot,

314
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: like people's managers or whatever that we weren't necessarily even

315
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: aware of that. It's just all kind of being orchestrated

316
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: behind us, and we don't even know all this stuff

317
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: that's going on, and so that that sort of stressful

318
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: feeling is just kind of behind you going on in

319
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: the background, and we're just like, I just want to,

320
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: you know, have this look good, and I just want

321
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: to do what I'm told and whatever. But there's kind

322
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: of these agendas that are you're not even always aware

323
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: of what's going on.

324
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: Courtney and I were was a fold over cover, and

325
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: Corty and I were on the back side of the

326
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: fold over when it came out, except I said for years.

327
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: I said, well, my elbow is on the actual cover,

328
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: but I am on the cover almost. And then I

329
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: remember it was because the three of you, you, Josie

330
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: and Laura, You, Josie and Amanda all were like wearing

331
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: very skimpy white things and we will like had more

332
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: a little more fabric or something. So maybe it was that,

333
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: or maybe it was your manager or whatever. And then

334
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: I remember Mark Seliger coming up to me afterwards, are

335
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: calling me we saw each other somewhere, the photographer and

336
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: just saying, you know, we always have this, he said,

337
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: there were there were, you know, agendas, but he's like,

338
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: I had this with you too. I had this with

339
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: like Bruce Fringstein in the East Street band. We do this,

340
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: you know, this is always an.

341
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 4: Issue, Like he had like a group.

342
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: He sees the photograph as a cover period and he

343
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: shoots these iconic you know, Rolling Stone, these these band

344
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: members all the time, and it always is a little

345
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: funky because you can't fit them all on like this.

346
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: You know, you'd all have to be like this or something.

347
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have all these like all these voices. It's important.

348
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 4: It's important, it's important.

349
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: And now I get a perspective to go it's not important, right,

350
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: Like it was so long, but we remember most people

351
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: don't remember it, and you look at it now to

352
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: have this perspective of that's not what's important. Like, what's

353
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: important to me about this podcast is it the three

354
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: of us get to get together and hang out all

355
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: the time, Like it's so much fun. I have such

356
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: a better perspective on what's important. And even then it's

357
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: like in a used to joys. It's not brain surgery,

358
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: but it felt like it in that moment it was.

359
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: There was so much intensity put on it.

360
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: And when we were young, all those we think that

361
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: all these are the powers that be, and the stakes

362
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: are so high, and they're really we're ponds. They're kind

363
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: of just telling us where to go and do this,

364
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: and you know, you're just doing it because you're selling

365
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: the show, and you know, and.

366
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: I think we all have a framed copy of the

367
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: entire photo, which to me, like my memory of it

368
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 3: is the photo which is all five of us just

369
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: in a line.

370
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: Right.

371
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: The problem with the magazine cover is it's not big

372
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: enough to fit all five, so somebody got folded in

373
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: the in the inside. But like I like, I have

374
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: that rolling stone picture which is the five of us.

375
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: It's a photo just it's the framed thing that they

376
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: gave us, you know, which I think is the way

377
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: I remember it now, is just like it's the photo

378
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: of all five of us, and I love it.

379
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: You would you were in the middle on the cover,

380
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: but I'm seeing the photo on the wall.

381
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 5: It's like a whole thing.

382
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm totally fair, Like you have a different experience of

383
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: That's totally fair.

384
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: But like I love that.

385
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: Photo itself as like all five, like the photo.

386
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 4: Is, Daphne says it full. Daphne has it folded the

387
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 4: other way.

388
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: You guys looking very love lovingly at each other, Do

389
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: you remember that, Like they were just like drape over

390
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 2: each other.

391
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 5: It was all about well, that's.

392
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Like it was this intensity.

393
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: Now you look at you go, oh that I that

394
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: I gave any of my life force to worrying about

395
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: that seems so insane today, but I remember how intense

396
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: it felt and how competitive it felt. Now it's like,

397
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: I love, but I'm just saying I love the dichotomy

398
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: of that yeah podcast shoot, and how loving and fun

399
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: and light and easy it was.

400
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 4: How different we are today, how much was grown up.

401
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: We can we can drape ourselves over each other now

402
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: it will just be the and it's just the.

403
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: For next season, We're gonna have a new photo. It's gonna, yeah,

404
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: dripping all over each other. I liked the Vanity Fair

405
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: shoot that we did. We did a two page spread

406
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: with Annie Leebowitz. I really loved that.

407
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 4: Is that a poker one?

408
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: No poker was poker, Rolling Stone on the poker was

409
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: inside rolling Stone.

410
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was We're all on a bed because that's

411
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: what they did with the Yeah.

412
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's for the entire decade.

413
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 5: And we all squeezed in.

414
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we all squeezed in. But I just

415
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: liked her Annie Leebowitz, and was felt so.

416
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 3: Honored to be Yeah, but a special experience to be

417
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: able to shoot with her and do some of those things.

418
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: Got a lot of cool things, right, Like I remember

419
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl super bowls coming up. I

420
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: remember going on a private plane, yeah, the super Bowl.

421
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 4: Because they just like, do you want to go?

422
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: And I was like all right, like yeah, I didn't

423
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: have the idea how special it was. Like I'm like,

424
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: I wish some would do that now when I have

425
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: a kid, right, Like, it would be so much fun

426
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: to take my kid on that. But he missed that whole. Yeah, yeah,

427
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: he says, I know, I know you're big in the nineties.

428
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter with the super Bowl.

429
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter how much you tell them, and like haul

430
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: out the photos and the magazines that are all browned

431
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: around the edges. It just doesn't matter.

432
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 5: They do, I know, like.

433
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: Old timey newsprint, because the nineties were two decades before.

434
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,120
