<v Speaker 1>so much, so we're gonna give them a little bit more.

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.040

<v Speaker 1>can keep up with my girls. You know, my big

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>casting was I put Michael Caine into cider House Rules,

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>which humidated his career, all right. And I had put

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Gwyneth Paltrow and Emma, which was before Shakespeare and Love.

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a bunch of other casting coups that I've had,

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.720

<v Speaker 1>Before we get into it, I want to share some

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>exciting news. We've been renewed. We're gonna have Hey, my,

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it makes sense. It's been such a hit

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>and people have been loving it so much. It's terrific.

<v Speaker 1>Ellen's news. Oh my god, what do you think? Great?

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.199
<v Speaker 1>You tell me first what you think. I'm excited beyond words. Listen,

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I became a celebrity. I don't want to give up

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the status. I mean, girls, just hope I make another

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>six months. That's all I'm telling you. We're rushing into production.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>We've told them my talent is ninety years old. I

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have a lot of time to wait. Go see

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you navn do why? But I'm ready. We are thrilled

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to be in the show. Marrow. How did you get

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the idea? I've always drawn from my personal life for

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>the material that I've created, and for this show. It

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>was based on the crazy antics of my mother. She's

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the person dancing naked on the terrorists while there's a snowstorm.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 1>My daughter and my niece had created an Instagram account

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>called elly Grammy Graham, which means I love you Grammy Graham,

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was popular amongst my kids, friends and my friends.

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I started to think, well, if they're enjoying it, I

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>bet you they would want to hear from other grandmothers exactly.

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Your mother's episode was one of my absolute favorites. I

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>really feel like I know her. Ellen. When you first

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>heard that you got the gig, who was the first

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>person that you told? And what did you say? How

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>did you explain it? I called my daughter at Her

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>response was no way, Mom, she says, I'm getting on

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the phone right now sending out emails. What is it

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>coming out? She was so excited, she says, Oh, Mom,

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>she says, no matter what happens, it's something to do

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>during this terrible year, because I really I haven't seen

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>my kids and since last April. And how did you

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>receive the materials for the recording? And what did you

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>think when you got them? Well? I know what a

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>headset is. I mean, I have grandchildren, I see them

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>with it on all the time. But I have to

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>be honest. I had to send my phone over to

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>my grandson so he could create the dropbox. But once

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you do it once, It's like riding a bicycle. You

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>do it? What what do you do it? I still

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>fall off a bite? So what do you do? First

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>of all, I didn't even know that I Heart was

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>sending us equipment. I get this box in the nail.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh what, I didn't order anything. I opened it up.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know there's a black thing that you put

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>this phone on. I didn't know what the hell that

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was about. So who do I call? Poor Rachel?

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>That polone? If that the third podcast? I finally got it.

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not bad. We have six so far. Three that's

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>not too bid. And now I know I've been asked

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>so many times, how did we script your response your conversations.

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think people realize that we would just play

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you the episode when it was all edited and finished,

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>so that you didn't get us hear anything beforehand. Even

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>your own episodes, you didn't get to hear beforehand. So

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the first time you heard your episode was when you

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>did the commentary. It was just sort of stream of

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 1>consciousness exactly. You know, we heard something and it ignited

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>something in one of us, and we just took off

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>from there and we don't know. When we're together, never

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.559
<v Speaker 1>have a moment when we can't think of something to say. Yeah,

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it's amazing Ellen. I have to say that

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>we were able to extemporaneously discuss these things, and one

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>thing left to another. Many times we were laughing at

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>when it brought up. Ellen goes into her stories that

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 1>she has, and I think if it was scripted, you

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>would get the feeling that it was scripted, plus the

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>factoria that you and I are good friends, and so

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 1>that's a big thing, ain't true. You sort of know

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 1>what to expect to come out of my mouth, and

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I never know what to expect to come out I'm

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say, yeah, we don't know what's gonna come

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>out of Reda's mouth. But girls, you know it's not

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>offensive that you know, and it's not dirty. I never

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>said the words shop or anything like. So, girls, how

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>are you enjoying your new found fame? I'm telling I'm

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>getting respect I never planned on. I am hearing from

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>people that I forgot that I knew was that you

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>wanted today. So, oh my god, oh my god. My

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>son says to me, you know that four million people

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>listen to the Today Show who would imagine at this

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>age what we're doing. I mean, maryl, thank you you

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>gave us a life we never expect that. I really

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>mean it. And I have to say that the hosts

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>could not have been more welcoming or more everybody. Thank

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you way that they're giving this whole little life and

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 1>we're enjoying it together together together. That's the best part

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>about friendship. I haven't spoken to you guys about it,

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>but how was your experience on the Today Show? It

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>was a very out of body experience, it really was.

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>And to sit and watch myself on the Today So

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I have looked at that linked ten times already. I

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>keep looking at it. I do too, and I can't

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>believe it's me. The kids are very excited with this.

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>My eleven year old granddaughter calls me all the time.

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to know what the stats are? Now? Nana?

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I went on and you're in the eighth place here,

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and I said, how do you know that? I look

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it up, Nana, I do it every day. Yeah. Seeing

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 1>a climb up the charts was a wild experience. The kids,

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>they're very proud. I'm telling you all. So what are

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>you hoping people will get out of the podcast. Hopefully

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>this podcast will awaken the young people to say that,

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's something in a relationship to a grandmother.

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.679
<v Speaker 1>I only think this is gonna make a big change,

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>well in this particular climate, when this past year has

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>been so awful for everybody. Everybody needs a grandma. It's

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a mess for that we're doing. That's right at those

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 1>people that don't have a grandma are adopting us. I

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>think it's the grandchildren who are not that close to

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the grandmother. If they listen to all our podcasts, I

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>guarantee you they'll get on the phone and call their grandmother.

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>There's no way you can't. That's very true. That's very

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.239
<v Speaker 1>very true. And people have been loving it so much,

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>beyond excited to do it again next season. Okay, so

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the concept gonna be the same, the same concept.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be you guys hosting, but we're gonna have

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>a diverse group of grandmothers with grandchildren. I think that's

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>terrific and I know some grandmothers who would be fabulous

0:07:53.800 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>for this. Now that we've heard the exciting news about

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a second season, the producers have given us a note

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to read to our listeners, I wonder what this could be. Okay,

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>in season one, we focused our Jewish grandmothers, and now

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>we're opening it up to all grandmothers and we want

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to hear from you. So, do you know a grandmother

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and a grandchild who you think would be perfect for

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Call your Grandmother. We want to hear from unique grandmothers

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>with big personalities and great stories who have particularly loving

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and close relationships with the treasured grandchild. Anyone who would

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>like to be considered should submit a short cell phone

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>video and a brief written description of you and your

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:49.319
<v Speaker 1>grandmother to the Call your Grandmother Facebook page. You'll find

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>more details on how to submit on the Facebook page. Two,

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>go into Facebook and type in Call your Grandmother podcast

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Grandparents Have your Grandchild? Drinna help you. You'll see our

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>page with the yellow logo. You know, I have a

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>term of a grandmother and grandchild that I think would

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>be great for this, But you know what, this is

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 1>open for every grandmother and grandchild, right. You don't have

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 1>to be Jewish. It's like Levi's Rye Bread used to say,

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be Jewish to love leaves. So

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to be Jewish. To be. I'd call

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.079
<v Speaker 1>your grandmother. That's true. Every grandmother and grandchild has their

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>own unique relationship. And we're darting to hear from you. Guys.

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>This made the pandemic for us, and I hope that

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the people that listen to it it brings a little

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.640
