1 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: So we got an email from a woman named Kelly 2 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: to our Pummies World show at Gmail account, and she said, Hi, 3 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: I love the show and it's been so fun getting 4 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: to know you all as people and not just your characters. 5 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: I was going to ask this at the Dallas show, 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: but the line was already super long before my cousin 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: convinced me to ask, do you three know your Enneagram numbers? 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: It's a personality test, but it really dives into your 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses, and it is so interesting. Every time 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: I listen to your podcast, I can't help but guess 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: your numbers. Writer is a four wing five, Danielle three 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: wing two, and Will seven wing six. 13 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: So for like five percent of our listeners or maybe 14 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: ten percent, who. 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: Maybe the ten percent math magician, that makes a lot 16 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: of sense, And there are people who are like agreeing, 17 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: I have no idea what that means. 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 4: Well, how many wings do? 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: How many wings do I have to eat? 20 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,279 Speaker 4: You're in whatever it is? A hat. 21 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: Writers four wing five is called the free spirit. 22 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 4: And here's what it says. 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: People with an Enneagram type four wing five personality tend 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: to identify most with type fours, but may also relate 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: to type fives. They are introspective, creative, and perceptive in 26 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: their behavior. They want to form a deeper understanding of 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: themselves and the world around them. They tend to be 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: much less concerned with public image than other fours. 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 4: So you're wing, I mean more than other fours. 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: So isn't everybody concerned with their public image? 31 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 4: I don't, okay, so I'll tell you what. 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: So okay, anyway, so your basic fear four wing fives 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: fear having no impact on the world. They may be 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: they maybe, but they seek recognition and admiration. 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but see that means I do care about 36 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: my public image, right. 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: Right, But then there's a cost exactly just less than 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: other fours. So the wings, it's like one through nine 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: in a circle. Picture it like a pie. And whatever 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: number you are, your wing has to be the number 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: that's closest to that. So you could only be a 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: four wing five or a four wing three, and maybe 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: four wing three has a specific avenue that's like very 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: concerned with public image, whereas like yours is concerned with 45 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: it a little bit, but not. 46 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: Che tauild so quickly that it just categorizes everything. 47 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: I just I just heard. 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 4: So your basic desire. 49 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: They desire their own personal identity and may retreat within 50 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: themselves to discover who they really are. Free spirits tend 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: to defend themselves, either by withdrawing from others or adapting 52 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: characteristics of loved ones. 53 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: Does it say Type fours will reject this orgorization. If 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: you are reading this to a type four, they will 55 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: roll their eyes. 56 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 4: And storm out. 57 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: And do you want to know your strengths? 58 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: Here are some of your strengths. 59 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: Staying true to who you are, deeply rooted, curiosity and 60 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: passion for knowledge, ability to connect deeply with yourself, and 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: objective and creative problem solving. 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 4: Do you want to know your weaknesses? 63 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: I like all of these. I'm like, okay, I'll take those. 64 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: If those are strengths. 65 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: Here's your weaknesses withdrawing from those around them, difficulty focusing 66 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: on real world problems, tendency to think too much about themselves, 67 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: and struggling to follow rules or orders. 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: There's also a smell. 69 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 4: But surely. 70 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty practical problems, aren't I know? 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: I do?

She suggested that I was a three wing two, 104 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: and I did the test, and threes and ones are 105 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: very similar, and I ended up being a one wing two. 106 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: And the difference between a one and a three is 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: that basically they're both horribly unfun and completely obsessed with 108 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: detail and good at organizing and planning. But similar to 109 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: how we talked about with writer caring about public perception, 110 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: threes care very much about Like say, for example, you 111 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: put a one and a three in charge of a 112 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: big group project, the threes would want to be the 113 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: people who would want to take kind of the shiny 114 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: aspects of the project, like the ones that are going 115 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: to be the most obvious to have helped the group 116 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: and therefore and get the credit. And the ones are 117 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: the people who are like, I don't care what you 118 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: give me. Just give me tons of stuff and let 119 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: me do it really well. I don't even care if 120 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: it goes unnoticed. 121 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: You I'm a one. 122 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: So she was pretty close because she got a three, 123 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: and threes and ones are similar. 124 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 4: But I'm a one wing. 125 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: Two, which is truly, from what I have read, just 126 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: an absolutely awful person to be around.

But it's 502 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 4: just there's always so much happening it's hard to take 503 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 4: it all in. 504 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of that, we know that you had been 505 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: friends with Ethan Hawk, who gave it to Ben Stiller 506 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: for Reality Bites. When did you learn that it was 507 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: going to be the song for the end credits. 508 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 4: I didn't really know it was the song for the 509 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 4: end credits until I was in the movie. I got 510 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 4: a call when I was working at I was like 511 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: doing a temp job. I think at Ernst and Young. 512 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 4: I may be confusing it with another like financially large company. 513 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 4: I was doing a lot of temp work in New York. 514 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 4: I'd gone back to school to site to grad school 515 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 4: and psychology at NYU, but soon thereafter realized I needed 516 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 4: to do sort of more random, noncommittal jobs while I 517 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 4: was really focusing on being a musician full time. But 518 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 4: temp jobs were great because I could type pretty fast, 519 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 4: and they let me use their Xerox machines to make 520 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 4: flyers for my band, and it got me out of 521 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 4: bed at a normal hour. But anyway, I remember telling 522 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 4: the bosses. I had gotten a call from Ron Fair, 523 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 4: who was the record executive at RCA, telling me that. 524 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 4: And I had met Ron Fair because somebody who worked 525 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 4: under him at EMI Records while I was in college 526 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 4: wanted to sign us to their label in college, and 527 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: Ron Fair was like, no, not today. And my friend 528 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 4: who worked at EMI was fired and we were not 529 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 4: signed to EMI. But anyway, so I had already known 530 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 4: this executive, but he called me and we were so excited. 531 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 4: He said that the song was going to be on 532 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 4: the soundtrack, which I was excited about, but I didn't 533 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 4: know where it was in the movie until the movie 534 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 4: came out. We went to a very like low key 535 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: movie premiere. It wasn't one of these big Hollywood premiers. 536 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 4: It was like low key, little red carpet, you know, 537 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 4: because there were a lot of real authentic key people involved, 538 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 4: like Ethan and Ben Stiller and went on writer and 539 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 4: Steve Zah and Jenny Garoffalo and all these folks who 540 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: are a little bit more like you know, not yeah 541 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 4: and so but anyway, so we went to the premiere 542 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 4: and we were sitting in the seats watching the movie, 543 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 4: and the song never came on. You're like, oh no, 544 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 4: and I was like, I'm so embarrassed. Luckily it wasn't 545 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 4: like I said, a huge premiere with my friends and family. 546 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: Was like some friends, and I was just like almost sweating. 547 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 4: I could feel my heart beating. I was like, this 548 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 4: is so embarrassing. Maybe it was there and I didn't 549 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: hear it, like it was one of those songs you 550 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 4: barely hear somebody's call coming from another room while they're 551 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 4: having a loud conversation in the bathroom at the bar. 552 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 4: And then finally at the end and weirdly, people stuck 553 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 4: around like all of a sudden, I heard you Doo doo, 554 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 4: and I was like, it was like the second end credit. 555 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: So it was good because they played the entire song, 556 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 4: but it was like, you know, I could imagine my 557 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: mom being in the theater and being like everyone's day 558 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 4: the song. So nervous. I was like, oh my gosh, 559 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 4: it's not this is one of those things where it's 560 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 4: like cutting room floor, this is the cutting room floor. 561 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 4: But it was there, and it was really exciting to 562 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 4: hear it over the loud speakers and to be a 563 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 4: part of it, you. 564 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 3: Know, And they did play the whole song, which is 565 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 3: you almost never get an entire song I know, which. 566 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: Is also now kind of a sad thing because on Netflix, 567 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 4: you know, it goes boom right to the next movie, 568 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: right when. 569 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 2: The shrinks down to the corner, and you're like, wait. 570 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, well, I think I still yet residuals 571 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 4: for that song, even though you don't always hear it anymore. 572 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 4: And in a couple of times in music festivals they've 573 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 4: played my music video at the beginning, which hopefully they 574 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 4: will now because we just remastered the video. We got 575 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 4: to work with Universal and there's Universal Music, and there's 576 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 4: people who can like go back to old source material 577 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 4: and fix because our video that was up my video 578 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 4: for Stay was like I feel like it was like a 579 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 4: copy of a copy of a video cassette that they 580 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 4: threw up there, and we could never get the real quality. 581 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: Everybody's always like, oh, I love your black dress. I'm like, 582 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 4: it's not black, it's green, you know. I like your 583 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 4: black glasses. I'm like their tortoise shell they're not black. 584 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 4: But anyway, we were able to remaster the video so 585 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 4: it's out like the newer version. It still looks and 586 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 4: feels like itself, which was like a big philosophical conundrum, 587 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 4: like does it feel like itself? Does it feel like itself? 588 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,239 Speaker 4: Even though it's like you know, they went in with 589 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 4: a Q tip and like cleaned it up. 590 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 3: Well. 591 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: That music video is unfor get a bowl. It was 592 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: directed by Ethan Hawk. It was done in one take. 593 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: What do you remember from shooting it? And how many 594 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: times did you have to do it just to nail it? 595 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 4: I did it, I don't. I don't remember the exact number. 596 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 4: This is where I would ask Kawan Patina, like how 597 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 4: many times? She'd be like we shot it nine times? 598 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 4: Or hey, he would remember how many times? I also 599 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 4: remember I remember the miracle bra. I mean, is that 600 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 4: what's called? Course? I think I want a wonder bra. 601 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 4: That was like my big push up, even though I 602 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 4: still look like tiny. It was I think I was 603 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 4: wearing a wonderbra. I was wearing a Betsy Johnson dress 604 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 4: that Betsy Johnson herself hemmed for me. She helped me 605 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 4: make it that really short. All my dresses I liked 606 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 4: wearing very very short as possible powerful you know, superpower 607 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 4: rock musician. Look Also for shorter ladies, A short dress 608 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 4: just makes you look tall. Yeah, it looks like a 609 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 4: child's shirt when you hang it in the closet, but 610 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 4: in reality it's an entire dress. It's like three feet 611 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 4: long total. And then also I remember the lipstick. I 612 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 4: wore the maclip stick for the first time, and Spice 613 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 4: was the lippencil. Everybody was very bad and I killed 614 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 4: my lips because it was Matt lipstick and my lips 615 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 4: were like dead. After that, I did a middle part, 616 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 4: which was weird for me, which is now very hip, 617 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 4: but I did not wear middle part back then. I 618 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: was more of a side party person. But we did 619 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 4: the middle part. But I also remember I was very 620 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: headstrong because Ethan had this great idea and he'd hired 621 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 4: this amazing DP named Tom Richmond, who passed over the 622 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 4: last couple of years, which was sad. Tom had shot 623 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 4: the movie Midnight Clear that Ethan worked on, which was 624 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 4: this gorgeous movie, and he had hired this like real 625 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 4: film DP to shoot it. And Ethan had already shown 626 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 4: me in his apartment like months earlier, like what that 627 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 4: concept was, and we had mapped it all out in 628 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 4: this place, so we knew what we were doing. But 629 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 4: I was really headstrong in the fact that I'm like, 630 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 4: I not only I am, I have a band. I'm 631 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 4: like a real musician. I'm not like a pop singer. 632 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 4: I have a band. I played guitar. I want them 633 00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 4: in the video. That was the reason I had a 634 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 4: band name Nine Stories, Lisa lib and nine Stories, because 635 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 4: if it was just Lisa Lobe and you saw me 636 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: with the acoustic guitar at that time, you'd be like, oh, 637 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 4: she's a folk singer. But I wasn't a folks singer. 638 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 4: I like rock bands, and that's you know. I was 639 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 4: more of a you know, Pink Floyd led Zeppelin, the Police, 640 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 4: the Cure. I like some singer songwriters, but I really 641 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 4: felt more attracted to my rock roots. And I was like, 642 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 4: you have to be able to show this is like 643 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 4: my first I'd made music videos before, like in college, 644 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 4: but this was my first big deal like music video. 645 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 4: I was like, we have to shoot the band and 646 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 4: I have to play guitar. So he I forget the word, 647 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 4: but he let me do that. We shot a bunch 648 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 4: of takes with me and the band and me playing guitar, 649 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 4: and when we went in to try to edit a 650 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 4: few versions with that, it just totally it was an 651 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 4: horrible idea didn't work at all. So I had to 652 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 4: like sacrifice my vision, my vision and also my like 653 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 4: identification as myself. I'm like there, I was. I've never 654 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 4: let other than being like a musicals and stuff when 655 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 4: I was in college and in high school sing without 656 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 4: a guitar, I'm a guitar player and I'm a singer, 657 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 4: and so it was very weird walking around like this, 658 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 4: you know, other person. But it made a stronger vision, 659 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 4: and it did it made a much better video, and 660 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: it was fun to like mess around with later in life, 661 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: you know, with funny TV commercials and other things. But 662 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: it just really made it told the story so much 663 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 4: better what he wanted to do. So we went with 664 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 4: the artistic vision, which is very Ethan and very me 665 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 4: in the end, even though being aware of like how 666 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 4: I wanted to present myself, I was like, you know what, 667 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 4: and I had to battle with that for years, Like, 668 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 4: you know, no, I really am a musician. I'm not 669 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 4: pretending to. Yeah, well, well. 670 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 2: It's interesting to me, like looking back on the music 671 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 2: of the nineties in general, but particularly like the female 672 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 2: led singer songwriters of the nineties, you're really quite an 673 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 2: anomaly in that you're not always angry and you know 674 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 2: you don't have that like sort of Alanis Morse at 675 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 2: edge or an a Franco like misery, and it's did 676 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: you ever feel pressure? I mean, was there ever pressure 677 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: from your label or to be more sort of like 678 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: fitting the mold of like the rest. 679 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 4: No, really, not really And also maybe they even did, 680 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 4: and I didn't notice it because I'm so like focused 681 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 4: on what I want to do and just that's the 682 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 4: way I look at life. I'm like a person who 683 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 4: I'm like Woody Allen of songwriting, like sort of overthinking 684 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 4: and erotic and like what about this? Well, maybe they do. 685 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 4: Let you know, I had my song do You Sleep, 686 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 4: which was written earlier, which was all the different things 687 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 4: like I'm so sad you know we're not together anymore, 688 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 4: but but do you still think about me? But you 689 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 4: know you ruin my life? You know, just like the 690 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 4: back and forth that you actually go through in your mind. 691 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 4: That's that's more my style, more sort of in my 692 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 4: head with definitely anger and sadness and depression and all 693 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 4: those things. But it's just not my style exactly to 694 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 4: be like that, that's not my thing. 695 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 3: Back taking it back to the beginning.

It doesn't doesn't necessarily 759 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 4: make it easier. It's hard to sing. And there's a 760 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 4: couple of lyrics where I'm like, oh, I got really 761 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 4: off track on this, but but it's still I understand. 762 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 4: It means something to somebody, and I do listen to 763 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 4: a lot of I mean, I listen to a lot 764 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 4: of music that it always doesn't make sense percent, but 765 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 4: there's a whole thing about it, and I love the 766 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 4: audience is really excited to hear it, and I appreciate 767 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 4: what it's done for me in my career and the 768 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 4: freedom and the freedom creative freedom, and the opportunities to 769 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 4: travel and play with other people.

It was. It was incredible. 830 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 4: You know. Sarah McLaughlin had had an idea that it 831 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 4: was funny at first. When I heard about it, she 832 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 4: invited me to play a show that was like the 833 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 4: prequel year to the actual Lilith Fair. I got a 834 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 4: you know, I got a note like, oh, Sarah McLaughlin 835 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 4: wants to do this women's concert. Would you like to play? 836 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,879 Speaker 4: We're doing a couple to try it out. And I 837 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 4: was like not really, Like I don't want to play 838 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 4: a women's concert. I went to all girls school. I 839 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 4: don't like separating myself out as a woman musician. I 840 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,280 Speaker 4: don't like being good for a girl. I'm just a musician. 841 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 4: I don't like all my mentors of musicians aren't women. 842 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 4: This is just not for me. And then they followed 843 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 4: it up saying, well, it's it'll be you. Patti Smith, 844 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 4: Sarah McLachlan, Amy Mann, Paula Cole. I was like, yes, 845 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 4: I would love to do that concert with those other 846 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,839 Speaker 4: fellow musicians, like this is like, this is great, what 847 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 4: a great you know, I might have mixed up, you 848 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 4: know some There were a good handful of artists on 849 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 4: each show that I got to be a part of, 850 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,439 Speaker 4: and I was like, this is great, Like of course 851 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 4: I want to do this. And it took and it 852 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 4: got my prejudice away because it made me realize, you know, 853 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 4: I was glad when she needed to do what she 854 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 4: was doing because they literally were telling us, you know, 855 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 4: we'd hear from the radio departments at our major labels, Yeah, 856 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 4: they can't play you because they're playing Sheryl Crow. Like 857 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 4: literally they're playing one woman, so they can't play another woman. 858 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 4: It was disgusting. Yeah, what does it even mean? 859 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 3: I know. 860 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, back in the day, it was like it 861 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 4: was considered like almost like a a category that box. Yeah, 862 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 4: which is really crazy to think about now, but it 863 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 4: was just the way it was. And and so that 864 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 4: ended up being a huge effect of her putting this 865 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,240 Speaker 4: festival together to prove, like you know, on the craft side, 866 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 4: a bunch of women can make a bunch of money 867 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 4: for somebody on the not craft side. It was just great, 868 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 4: like all this great music. There were men, lots of men, 869 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 4: but women lead singers, band leaders, and it was really fun. 870 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 4: We ended up like it was almost like a summer camp. 871 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 4: Like all the shows you got to go on. We 872 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 4: would we literally would sit backstage and talk to each 873 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 4: other and talk about our lives or our careers. And 874 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 4: because like the Indigo girls were on there on the 875 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 4: on the thing, they have great songs to sing along, 876 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 4: like Closer to Find, and so they would ask us 877 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 4: all to sing. And I'm terrible with lyrics, but we'd 878 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 4: all sit back there and learn our lyrics and sing 879 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 4: with each other and you know, connect. Actually, it was 880 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 4: like we actually connected. Emmy Lou Harris sang on some 881 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 4: of my songs. Well, on one of my songs it's 882 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 4: on the lolith Fair recording. But I realized that and 883 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 4: other festival situations are really important for camaraderie, for connecting 884 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 4: with other musicians because music is a very it's a 885 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 4: very loner thing. You know, you're in your room writing, 886 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 4: you're with a group of people recording, maybe you're on 887 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 4: tour with just your band or your band and maybe 888 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 4: one other band. It's very it's very by yourself. So 889 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 4: it was really cool to be in a place that 890 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 4: was you know, you're celebrating who you are and with 891 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 4: other people. And it reminded me of all girls school 892 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 4: where there is just something. I'm rubbing my fingers together 893 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 4: if you're just listening, but like there's just something. It's 894 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 4: just a sick like it's something you can't put your 895 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,839 Speaker 4: finger on. It's like it's just a different atmosphere when 896 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 4: it's a world led by women. Again, no offense to men. 897 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 4: There were a lot of men there. They really enjoyed 898 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 4: the concert. It was just the tone, the support of nature, 899 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 4: the badassness of the variety of types of music. There 900 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 4: was just something different there and I think it carried forward, 901 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 4: you know, it affected everything else after. 902 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 3: It was your girls school back East just curious, you. 903 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 4: Know, it was in Texas. It was a prep school, 904 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 4: which was very East coasty, but it was also had 905 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 4: a finishing school element about it because it's Southern. So 906 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 4: you know, learn to poortis sit properly on stage but 907 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 4: also write crazy essays and really intense you know, lots 908 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 4: of ap courses and all that stuff. 909 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: So you have also been passionate about radio since basically 910 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: high school. And now you have a show on Sirius 911 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: XM called Nineties on nine. 912 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 4: Which I love.

You 914 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 4: know we decided back in the nineties, I would have 915 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 4: been like, are you kidding me? I'm not using my 916 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,680 Speaker 4: song title the popular song. But now I'm like, oh, 917 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 4: those are the people who are like, you're that girl 918 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 4: with glasses. I know you. You know, I'll listen to you. 919 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,160 Speaker 4: You know, that's not something to run away from. That's 920 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 4: just people's way of identifying your way to get. 921 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 2: Get them in and then then they'll stay. 922 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,720 Speaker 4: Exactly.

And I've 924 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 4: had a podcast up to now called Where They Are Now. 925 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 4: It's a special interview segment that turned into a podcast 926 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 4: that I believe is turning back into maybe just an 927 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 4: interview segment where I talk to people about what they 928 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 4: did in the nineties and what they're doing now. Because 929 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 4: there are so many musicians out there who you know 930 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 4: from the nineties who are still very active, just like 931 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 4: what you guys are doing, I mean, very nineties centered, 932 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 4: but people are very present as well. But I know, 933 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 4: I was a DJ in high school for three years. 934 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 4: I loved it so much. I was at the boys' 935 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 4: school because they didn't have a radio station at our school. 936 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 4: It was eighty eight point five Caroism and I had 937 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 4: a show and I would I loved, you know, being 938 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 4: a DJ and and so then. But back in that day, 939 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 4: I decided all the music I played. It was not programmed. 940 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 4: I just picked the music I wanted to play, and 941 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 4: it ranged from all that stuff we're talking about, to 942 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 4: local bands to sound effects of a man falling down 943 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 4: the stairs and poster giveaways and all kinds of stuff. 944 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 4: And I really enjoyed it. But it's fun, it's interesting, 945 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 4: you know. I understand I'm connected with the nineties. You know, 946 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 4: we're all connected with the nineties here. 947 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:00,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. 948 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: What is it about radio that you're just so passionate about? 949 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: What do you love about it? 950 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 4: I think what I like is the thing that's not 951 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 4: exactly the radio. It's connecting with people. You know. It's 952 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 4: like finding out My favorite things are to find out 953 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 4: what people have to say about that time and sharing that, 954 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 4: you know, Like, I also have a segment called your 955 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 4: Story Your Song, where you can tell us your favorite 956 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 4: song from the nineties and your memories of it.

And it's 994 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 2: a really good episode. I'm only a small part of it. 995 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 2: I'm like at the last ten minutes of it, but 996 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 2: he has it's a really you should give it a. 997 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 4: List because but was it on MPR.

Yeah, we should post it. 1000 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 2: It's really great because he ends up having actually like 1001 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 2: a really interesting kind of personal tragedy associated with the 1002 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 2: song that is is quite moving and there's a lot 1003 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 2: of like a lot of our discussion was reassessing reality 1004 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 2: bites as a romantic comedy. Yeah, and you know we 1005 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 2: kind of dive into like was that ending the right ending? 1006 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,879 Speaker 4: Where this sounds familiar. I'm going to go back and listen. 1007 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 4: This sounds really good. It's weird though, also being from 1008 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 4: in quotation marks from the nineties, because it's just like life, 1009 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 4: like when people are like, make sure you take a 1010 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 4: lot of pictures for your socials, You're like, I'm working, 1011 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 4: I'm literally on stage, not taking pictures of myself for socials. 1012 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,320 Speaker 4: I'm literally talking to friends at a party at a premiere. 1013 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 4: I'm not taking pictures and then standing in a corner posting. 1014 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 4: Like in the nineties, I was working in on tour 1015 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 4: and still listening to songs from the eighties in the seventies, 1016 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 4: and I didn't always know what was popular in the nineties. 1017 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 4: You know, some things popped through to me, like space 1018 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 4: Hog or I Love Joan Osborne again. I got to 1019 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 4: know her more from even though she was a local 1020 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 4: musician when I was a local musician in New York. 1021 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 4: I was so busy playing gigs. I never ended up 1022 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,280 Speaker 4: seeing her play. And then for Lili's Fairy started watching 1023 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 4: her and I was blown away. She's got this crazy voice. 1024 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 4: She's like unbelievable singer. And same with like Paula Cole 1025 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 4: and she produces all of her music and Cheryl Crow like. 1026 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,879 Speaker 4: I knew some people's hits, but I didn't know their 1027 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 4: catalog and what they were like for real, you know. 1028 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 4: And and then there's other music I've never even heard 1029 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,319 Speaker 4: before that I that I'll here on nineties stations. I 1030 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 4: just didn't know, you know, I know was great. 1031 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,760 Speaker 3: Space Hog was one of those bands that was hugely 1032 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:41,239 Speaker 3: underrated in the nineties. I love Wonders, Yeah, and they. 1033 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 4: Had a bunch of I don't know, in my brain 1034 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 4: they were like hugely like like they were like Radiohead. 1035 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1036 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 4: Travis Travis the Band, Travis the Man who I love 1037 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 4: that album? Anyway. How did how did your transition from 1038 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 4: singing to acting happen? I was an actor way before 1039 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 4: I was a professional musician. It was just something I 1040 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,280 Speaker 4: did growing up. I always studied acting. I was always 1041 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 4: in all the plays. I went away and studied acting 1042 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,600 Speaker 4: in New York and in London. In high school, I 1043 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 4: did plays and things. All through college. We had a 1044 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 4: soap opera that Doug Lyman directed the theater. We went 1045 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 4: to college together. He had a soap opera that he 1046 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,799 Speaker 4: put together that we all did in college. So it 1047 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 4: was the thing that I really wanted to do. I 1048 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 4: was often cast as a child because I am very 1049 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 4: young and in college young and petite, and music was 1050 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 4: the thing that was really taking off more. We were 1051 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,719 Speaker 4: filling the houses, my friend and I who had a band. 1052 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 4: It was always packed houses getting gigs in New York City, 1053 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 4: and it was sort of like going step by step, 1054 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 4: whereas with acting, I had my head shots and this 1055 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 4: and that, and then I was like, I don't know 1056 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,799 Speaker 4: if I want to be walking around New York City 1057 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 4: with my head shots. And in the meantime, I was 1058 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 4: so busy playing music. That was really the thing in 1059 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 4: the forefront. And then as soon as the music kind 1060 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,280 Speaker 4: of was settling in, I've been going back to acting. 1061 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 4: You know again, acting a quote marks a lot of 1062 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 4: cameos and things like that. But that was my love. 1063 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 4: That was what I really wanted to do when I 1064 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 4: grew up, and I remember I write out of college. 1065 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,720 Speaker 4: Right out of high school, I had taken a class 1066 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 4: with Mark Hirschfeld, the casting director, and I had taken 1067 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 4: a class with him in high school, and he was like, 1068 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 4: you know, come meet with me in LA. And I 1069 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 4: went and met with him in LA right after high school, 1070 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 4: like the between high school and college, and he's like, yeah, 1071 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,919 Speaker 4: you should go to college. But you know, we've kept 1072 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 4: in touch and he's actually with that nineties show and 1073 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 4: a bunch of other stuff, and you know, it's just 1074 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 4: something I love doing. I just I'm that's just something 1075 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 4: I grew up doing and studied a lot. So that's 1076 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,879 Speaker 4: so great. That's where it came from. 1077 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 2: Do you still do it? Do you still enjoy acting? 1078 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 3: Or I do? 1079 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 4: But it makes me nervous. It makes me nervous because 1080 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 4: I'm not good at memorizing. But like when I did 1081 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 4: this is a funny example, but when I did Fuller House, 1082 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 4: it was great because they actually gave me scenes. I 1083 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 4: played myself, but we talked it through. I had actual 1084 00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 4: scenes with multiple lines and conversations, and and because you 1085 00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 4: get to work on those sitcoms for a week, we 1086 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 4: actually the lines like a play. They actually get in you. 1087 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 4: And also It wasn't like some of the sitcoms I'd 1088 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 4: done in the nineties, which are super high energy, where 1089 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 4: you're like, hey, guys, what's up. Let it out, like, 1090 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 4: that's not my energy. I'm I have a low energy 1091 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,359 Speaker 4: type of person, and even my high energy is more low. 1092 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 4: And also now I'm not as embarrassed being high energy 1093 00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 4: if I need to be, like to fit whatever the 1094 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 4: genre is. But it's just it was really fun. It 1095 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 4: was like, oh my gosh, this reminds me of when 1096 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 4: I get to be in plays and you really you 1097 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 4: have time to know the lines and get to know 1098 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 4: it and really be in that person, in that character, 1099 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 4: which I love that. I love being in that conversation. 1100 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 4: But one day, I'll one day I'll return. I want 1101 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,800 Speaker 4: to do like Broadway or or something that would be 1102 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 4: so cool, that would be amazing. But yeah, I was 1103 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 4: in an independent film and there and they're like I 1104 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 4: just I was like, oh, I'll get the lines, I'll 1105 00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,600 Speaker 4: be fine. And then I get on set and I'm like, 1106 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 4: all these people, this is their one job. They don't 1107 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 4: There are younger people, some of them don't have children 1108 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 4: or anything, and they know their lines and they've been 1109 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 4: doing this and they're really serious and they and I'm thinking, 1110 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 4: I'm serious, But I was doing seven million other things, 1111 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 4: my radio show and taking my kids to school and 1112 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 4: going to do this tour and end this album and 1113 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 4: this thing and that thing.

But it's funny. 1117 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,919 Speaker 4: I've been listening to Barbara Streisand's book and she talks 1118 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 4: about a lot of actors and really major serious actors 1119 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 4: that we all look up to. They've got lines written 1120 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,240 Speaker 4: all over the place. Hey, they've got every Brandow method. 1121 00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just hiding notes all over But he 1122 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 2: actually didn't want to memorize. He wanted to like live 1123 00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:46,479 Speaker 2: in the moment. 1124 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 4: As much as that's excuse me, but it's true, Like 1125 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 4: you do want to live in the moment, but yeah, 1126 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:51,560 Speaker 4: you know.

But many years later it was I'm not 1134 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 4: telling you which one, but literally every two lines, one 1135 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 4: of the main actress would be like line line and 1136 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,439 Speaker 4: then there were cue cards and the whole thing was, wait, 1137 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,439 Speaker 4: I've been avoiding doing this because I was nervous about 1138 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 4: learning my lines, and this was this was an option. 1139 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 4: It's not really an option if you're not, like, you know, 1140 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 4: years into a sit combat, right, I. 1141 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 3: Mean voice voiceover, So there's the best. 1142 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 4: I love doing voiceover. 1143 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 3: I love so voiceover.

I love it too. But 1146 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 4: I mean, do you have trouble learning your lines? I 1147 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 4: don't do act. I don't act anymore, so I know. 1148 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a while since I don't have trouble. 1149 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 3: I've had to try, you know, I've I've been a 1150 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 3: voiceover actor for twenty years now, so it's so different. 1151 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about it. 1152 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:56,000 Speaker 4: It is. 1153 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,280 Speaker 2: It's a muscle that you get back pretty quickly. 1154 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 4: I need to get it. Maybe you'll help me, you 1155 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,280 Speaker 4: can help. I need to practice before it's time. Yeah, 1156 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 4: also practicing like I did remember on the thing I 1157 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:11,319 Speaker 4: felt most comfortable doing. More recently, I heard one actres saying, 1158 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 4: it just takes me a certain number of minutes per page, 1159 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 4: and it just it is what it is. Yeah, Like 1160 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 4: I'm working on writing a book right now. Like the 1161 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 4: process is what it is. It's not like, oh, I'm 1162 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 4: not a soap opera actor. I was talking to a 1163 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,600 Speaker 4: friend of mine who's a soap opera actor and they literally, like. 1164 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 3: The gay page, no time, but if you. 1165 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 4: Never did that. But like, I need to practice that. 1166 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 4: I need to practice memorizing things. You mentioned your kids. 1167 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,919 Speaker 4: Do you have You have two kids? I have two kids. Yeah. 1168 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,919 Speaker 4: How old are they? Eleven and fourteen? Oh my gosh, yeah, 1169 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 4: fifth grade? And one of them is home sick today. 1170 00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 4: Oh I don't think he's sick. 1171 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: Well, I have two questions for you then, regarding that, 1172 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: how do you find time to do. 1173 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,359 Speaker 4: All of the things that you do? I have two 1174 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 4: kids as well. 1175 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,040 Speaker 1: I do a fraction of the things you do, but 1176 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,040 Speaker 1: it's still a lot of things. And I feel like 1177 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 1: every moment of my day, every single day, is scheduled out. 1178 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 4: How do you find the time? Yeah, it is, I 1179 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 4: don't know. I'm good at compartmentalizing. I'm trying to find 1180 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 4: more childcare, actually child supervision I call it, because they're 1181 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,439 Speaker 4: literally sometimes childcare for our kids. Any of you would 1182 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 4: like to do it. Come over, order sushi from sushi, 1183 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 4: stop and watch a movie and just be a person 1184 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:28,520 Speaker 4: in the house. Make sure you go to bed around 1185 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 4: nine o'clock. 1186 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:30,439 Speaker 3: That's a job. 1187 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 4: It's really really hard. And when they're playing video games 1188 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 4: it pays twenty five dollars an hour. 1189 00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 3: You can eat a book. 1190 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 4: You can just read a book, eat food, maybe take 1191 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 4: a walk with them to man cheese or something. That's 1192 00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 4: it exactly what we doantly. So it's hard. It's really hard, 1193 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 4: and I keep trying to do less because there's lots 1194 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 4: of things I want to do and I want to 1195 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 4: do them well and I want to do them deeply. 1196 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 3: You know. 1197 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 4: I mentioned I'm trying to work on a book, which 1198 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 4: I shouldn't be even saying until it's done. But I 1199 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 4: finally was like, I'm hiring a coach, not to write 1200 00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 4: with me, not to write for me literally like a trainer. 1201 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,800 Speaker 4: Like I know, I've been working out doing strength training 1202 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 4: since I was in high school. I know I could 1203 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 4: teach you your full workout in seven different ways to 1204 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 4: do tricep, you know, kickbacks or whatever. But I prefer 1205 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 4: to meet with my trainer because I need a babysitter. 1206 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 4: I need to know that I have a time and 1207 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 4: a place to do it. So literally, my coaching session 1208 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 4: I just had, we met up. We talked about a 1209 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 4: couple of things. We put ourselves on mute and silence 1210 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 4: and no screens, and I sat and wrote for forty minutes, 1211 00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 4: and then we checked back in. I read her what 1212 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 4: I wrote. She was encouraging, you know, also encouraging, like 1213 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 4: keeping you from overthinking everything. But but like I don't know, 1214 00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,640 Speaker 4: I'm always looking. I'm trying to I always try to 1215 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 4: lose my manager or my team if I the people 1216 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 4: that I work with, my housekeeper. Thank God for my housekeeper. 1217 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 4: He's been working with me for like thirty years. He's 1218 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:53,440 Speaker 4: my main person in my life. But like just trying 1219 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 4: my best to do all the things. I know. I 1220 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 4: just got a text from one of the moms asking 1221 00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,360 Speaker 4: if I was going to be chairman of Lost and 1222 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 4: Found next year again for the like second or third year, 1223 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 4: and I'm like, I love doing Lost and Found, like 1224 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 4: literally looking at name tags and putting things away. I 1225 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 4: don't think I can do the Chairman next year. I've 1226 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,040 Speaker 4: been doing it, but I've been on tour and I 1227 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,600 Speaker 4: haven't been getting those sweatshirts back to those kids. 1228 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 3: Get to kids stuff.

It's hard and a lot 1233 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:29,959 Speaker 4: of like being introspective and trying to take a step 1234 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 4: back and saying, like, what is my priority? You know today, 1235 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 4: my priority actually is to sit here and watch This 1236 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,880 Speaker 4: is Us and eat popcorn quietly in the house because 1237 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,760 Speaker 4: nobody is in the house.

But 1293 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 4: you know, And it's funny in the world now, if 1294 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 4: your kid's in eighth grade and they haven't become a 1295 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 4: professional you know whatever, you know, baseball player or actor 1296 01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 4: or musician, they are too late. But you know, a 1297 01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 4: lot of us didn't even start playing instruments until we were, 1298 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 4: like in high school. I have a feeling there's a 1299 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 4: lot of things like that in the future. My daughter 1300 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 4: does play ukulele and she sings in her room, but 1301 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 4: I've heard her sing it. She's got a beautiful voice. 1302 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 4: She's also a poet. So I wonder where being a 1303 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 4: really good writer and a good singer wow might lead 1304 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 4: to At some point, I would, you know, there's no pressure, 1305 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 4: but I do. And with my son, they both love 1306 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 4: music and know a lot about music, and I just 1307 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,680 Speaker 4: hope they continue to enjoy it and branch out with 1308 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 4: their interests, you know. I love that done. 1309 01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 1: You're so prolific with kids music and books, and your 1310 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 1: album Feel What You Feel even won a Grammy for 1311 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Best Children's Album in twenty eighteen. It has such an 1312 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,320 Speaker 1: amazing message. What is it that makes you so creative 1313 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: when writing for and helping a younger demographic? 1314 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 4: I think, well, one, I started collaborating a lot, and 1315 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:32,160 Speaker 4: when you're working with other people, ideas can really gel. 1316 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 4: And also you can capture ideas that you didn't even 1317 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 4: know were interesting. Sometimes you're like, oh, that's not important, 1318 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 4: and that actually it's funny. On my most recent grown 1319 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 4: up record, A Simple Trick to Happiness was affected by 1320 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 4: my children's music, because when you collaborate with other people 1321 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,840 Speaker 4: and when you're talking to parents outside of school and stuff, 1322 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 4: somebody says something to somebody else. You say something to 1323 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,439 Speaker 4: somebody just like we're talking and you're like, oh my gosh, 1324 01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,440 Speaker 4: I never thought about that. Like to me, it's just 1325 01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,440 Speaker 4: like whatever, it's something I think about all the time. 1326 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 4: Or you might say something to me and I'm like, wait, what, 1327 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 4: it's mind blowing. So I try to capture those messages 1328 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,919 Speaker 4: in songs somehow, and I did that for my grown 1329 01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,560 Speaker 4: Up record. But that was like the kids' music. It's 1330 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 4: a freeing kind of It can be a lazy genre, 1331 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 4: like people can be like, oh, you can say anything, 1332 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,439 Speaker 4: it's kids music, or it's a musical whatever. You could 1333 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,640 Speaker 4: do anything. But on the other hand, you can also 1334 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,280 Speaker 4: try to craft things that you really can be more 1335 01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,880 Speaker 4: creative and open minded when you're writing, and it's a 1336 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,480 Speaker 4: fun place to mess around with. Genres like step like 1337 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,600 Speaker 4: Feel What you Feel had a lot of influence from 1338 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 4: Free to Be You and Me, which is from the seventies. 1339 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 4: My Camp Lisa record, which was an earlier record, was 1340 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,640 Speaker 4: really influenced by a lot of soft pop from the 1341 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 4: seventies and bread and lots of harmonies, and we had 1342 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 4: a lot of guests and stuff. So it's just a 1343 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 4: very freeing genre and it's really fun. You can get 1344 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 4: really sad, you can get very have storytellings, you can 1345 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 4: be silly all in one record. And I like that's 1346 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 4: that's as a person who likes to make stuff that's 1347 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:03,080 Speaker 4: so fun. 1348 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, So one final question, it's a practice. We found 1349 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 1: ourselves wondering a lot as we watched back the episodes 1350 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 1: we taped thirty years ago. But watching the incredible music 1351 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 1: video for Stay, which has now been updated for the times. 1352 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 1: When you see that Lisa Lobe about to have her 1353 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,640 Speaker 1: life changed forever, what would you want to tell her? 1354 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 4: Now? Wow, I haven't thought about that, you know, I 1355 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 4: probably I would probably say stick with your guns, you know, 1356 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,479 Speaker 4: like at that time we were talking about Lilith Fair. 1357 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,520 Speaker 4: But even still just the general state of feminism, you 1358 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 4: just get a general feeling that what you have to 1359 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:47,080 Speaker 4: say is bothering somebody or annoying or pushy or and 1360 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:52,320 Speaker 4: I felt that a lot as a young artist, but 1361 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,800 Speaker 4: I had been doing it for so many years, ever 1362 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,320 Speaker 4: since I was in high school. I was recording my 1363 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 4: own music, like I knew what I wanted, I knew 1364 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 4: what I wanted to hear. Sometimes it was scary to 1365 01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 4: collaborate with others because I felt like they were going 1366 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 4: to try to take over, or they wouldn't take me seriously, 1367 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,680 Speaker 4: meaning like they wouldn't listen to me, not take me 1368 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 4: seriously like I'm so important, but just like literally collaborate 1369 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:19,160 Speaker 4: on an even basis. So I would say, like, be yourself, 1370 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 4: you know, don't which I did, But it was still 1371 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 4: this feeling of holding back always always if we do 1372 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 4: that as women, anyway, like always feeling like you might 1373 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 4: ruffle someone's feathers, you might say something that will hit 1374 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 4: them in the wrong way. Growing up both at the girls' school, 1375 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 4: Like the proper way to act is that you respect others, 1376 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 4: but also the values of my family. Growing up, you 1377 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,720 Speaker 4: respect others, but it can cross the line to where 1378 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 4: you're not respecting yourself and you're not speaking. You know, 1379 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,680 Speaker 4: there's no dream too big, and there's no there's no 1380 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 4: idea that's stupid. Really, like you always fight for what 1381 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 4: you want and then also at the same time, don't 1382 01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 4: be afraid to collaborate. It took me a really long 1383 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 4: time to really feel the comfort that I feel in collaboration. 1384 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 4: There's so many things that I've broken out of my 1385 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:10,840 Speaker 4: anxiety or fear or depression for doing because I'm just trying. 1386 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 4: Like even the acting thing we're talking about, like it's 1387 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 4: scary to memorize stuff, Well, great, tell the makeup artist 1388 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,760 Speaker 4: or tell the person on the set, like I'm scared. 1389 01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 4: I realized there's millions of actors over there, like sitting 1390 01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:25,880 Speaker 4: going over their lines over and over and over and 1391 01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,160 Speaker 4: over again. It's not embarrassing, it's just being a person 1392 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 4: doing a job. Everybody does things in different ways. Everybody, 1393 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:32,400 Speaker 4: you know. I said it in my song, which was 1394 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 4: another top Footy hit, my song I Do. It was 1395 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 4: kind of like a really straightforward thing to say, but 1396 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,000 Speaker 4: I meant it like everybody feels this way sometimes, you know, 1397 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 4: like it's okay to be a human, so it's so 1398 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:48,200 Speaker 4: collaborating asking for help but also being yourself one hundred 1399 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 4: percent fully, don't be scared of that, And I did. 1400 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 4: I am excited and proud I have accomplished a lot, 1401 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 4: and at the same time, there's so much more that 1402 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 4: I could have, should have would have done if I 1403 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,479 Speaker 4: weren't scared, you know, to do it. Or we're having 1404 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 4: this slight feeling of anxiety or a large feeling of anxiety, 1405 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 4: you know, overshadowed by a busy life. You know, I 1406 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,400 Speaker 4: think we have our whole world in front of us, 1407 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 4: like do everything. You know. 1408 01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: Well, I'm so glad that some of those feelings have 1409 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 1: passed for you and now you're just saying yes to 1410 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 1: all of the things that are going to bring you 1411 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: joy because we are all benefiting from them and we're 1412 01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,760 Speaker 1: all getting to enjoy that.
