And that first episode, 93 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: Reese Witherspoon was the guest. She was your first guest, 94 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 5: and Simone, you were telling me a little something about 95 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 5: relating to Reese. 96 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: Will you tell us a little bit about that? 97 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's it's so easy to look 98 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: at someone like Reese and just think that her journey 99 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: to where she is now has been easy. But I mean, 100 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: we forget that she became a mom in her early twenties, 101 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: and we forget that she faced a lot of doubt 102 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: when she was trying to convince people in Hollywood to 103 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: get on board with this idea of telling more representative 104 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 3: stories about women. And I just really, I just really 105 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: related to her openness and honesty around that. 106 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Simone, And you know, when you 107 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: work for Hello Sunshine, the first question you get is. 108 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: Is Reese as kind as she seems? Like? Is she 109 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: as awesome as she seems? 110 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: And I think in that first episode both of us 111 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 2: realized that she was, like, She's just the real deal, 112 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: you know. 113 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. So, in addition to Reese, we've had some really. 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 2: Amazing celebrity guests. Should we take a trip down celebrity 115 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: memory lane? 116 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 4: Oh?

This was really hard 119 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: for me to choose. But the first person that came 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: to my mind was Connie Chunk, Yeah, because she was 121 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: so funny and heartfelt. Not only did she make us 122 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: all giggle. I remember she made fun of Tim's shirt 123 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: before we jumped on the zoom, which I'll never forget, 124 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: but she had so much integrity in her work throughout 125 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: the years, and you could tell she had really been 126 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: through the ringer in her profession. To be one of 127 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: the first women and one of the first Asian American 128 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: women on network TV is just really brutal, and so 129 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: to hear her experiences so honestly and in reflection and 130 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: what it meant to her family lineage, I'll just never 131 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: forget that interview. 132 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, hearing how much of a boys club it was 133 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 3: in network news when she was first starting out, and 134 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: just the kind of language and mannerisms that she felt 135 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: like she had to assimilate into just to fight for 136 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: her place in newsroom. It was so striking to hear 137 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 3: that from the horse's mouth, and I walked away thinking, Oh, 138 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: Anchorman wasn't a Will Ferrell comedy. It was a documentary 139 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: about the beginning of the news business. 140 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: And to hear how she used humor along the way 141 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: as such a tool to navigate that boys club. I 142 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: was really inspired by her.

Jada de laurentis. Yes, 219 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: what a powerhouse woman.

I just felt like she was who she 226 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: said she was, and I just really liked her. 227 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 3: And she's also very warm.

And also Juliana Margalie. 231 00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: She is an actress who I think came from a 232 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: different time. I miss an actor's actor and I think 233 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: maybe that's why people love Timothy Shallomey right now, because 234 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: he kind of feels like that old school actor, but 235 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: she just she puts her craft above everything. And she 236 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: has this great story from her book, Sunshine Girl about 237 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 2: how she turned down like forty million dollars after er 238 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: to They asked her to stay and she said no, 239 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: I want to learn more, not earn more.

Do you feel like you'll 251 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: ever recover from your awkwardness? And she was like, you 252 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: know what, I'm still awkward and it's just a part 253 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: of me. And I used to get so self conscious 254 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: about it and making other people uncomfortable, but now I 255 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: just embrace it and it's part of who I am, 256 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: and it's like take me as I am, and for 257 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 3: me personally, that that really liberated me and it's been 258 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 3: really unifying, I think, to connect with other awkward batties 259 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 3: who feel the same. 260 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: I think at the end of the day, it was 261 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 2: all about genuine connections. 262 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: We got to have some. 263 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: Real conversations with some real women, and that will always 264 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: be front the center. 265 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: And when I think about meaningful connections. One of our 266 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: first guests, Priya Parker, really set the tone. I mean, 267 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 3: she has literally given us a roadmap for magical gatherings 268 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: and magical questions. 269 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 270 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 6: The biggest mistake we make when we gather is we 271 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 6: assume that the purpose is obvious and shared. Oh, I 272 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 6: know what a podcast is, I know what a wedding is, 273 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 6: I know what a funeral is, I know what a 274 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 6: staff meeting is. And when we don't actually pause to 275 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 6: ask why are we doing this? What is the purpose? 276 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: What does the purpose of this podcast? 277 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 6: With all of the million of podcasts in the world, 278 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 6: what is it that we are uniquely trying to do? 279 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 6: We tend to then replicate forms that may not make 280 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 6: sense for this community or for these hosts, and so 281 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 6: setting an attention and actually thinking well ahead of the gathering, 282 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 6: why am I doing this? What is the need? How 283 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 6: do I want to spend this time? Allows you to 284 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 6: then make decisions and be imaginative about what that time 285 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 6: actually looks like and feels like, and helps you make 286 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 6: practical decisions to get you there. 287 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: Priya Parker truly is the queen of gathering and she 288 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: really set the tone for our podcast. And when I 289 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: think of magical gatherings, I immediately think of being a 290 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: part of Shinaway and doing our very first live taping. 291 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: The energy of the audience was so compelling, Like I 292 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: just felt like that room was so warm, it. 293 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: Was truly electric. 294 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 3: People were like throwing those hands up, They had questions, 295 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: they wanted to ask, They were really engaged in the conversation. 296 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: I learned a lot from other people who were in 297 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: the audience, and that for sure is one of my 298 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: probably top three bright side memories from the past year. 299 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was so fun because you know, obviously we 300 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 5: record this show just us, but to see the audience 301 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 5: and see that the way that they were reacting to it, 302 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 5: to see the way that they were engaging, and you 303 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 5: really do see the amazing power of connections. 304 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: What are some of the thoughtful moments that stuck out 305 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: with you guys from this season. 306 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,119 Speaker 3: So I remember that conversation with Mary Jane Fahe Danielle, 307 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: and I know that was an emotional conversation for both 308 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: of us, the way that she spoke about authenticity and 309 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: specifically the way that she sees it manifested in the 310 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: lives of you know, more mature women that she speaks 311 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: to through her community called Glorious Broad's. It really challenged 312 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: me to live my life imaginatively and I actually like 313 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: I made changes to my life after that conversation. 314 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a really special episode, and that was 315 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: sort of early on too. 316 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: Who else comes to mind for you in terms of 317 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: thoughtful moments. 318 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: Ev Rodsky is always one of my favorite voices, and 319 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: I felt so lucky that she graced us with her 320 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: presence on the bright Side and she's part of the 321 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: Hello Sunshine family. But I know this sounds like a 322 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: big statement, but she is somebody who I think is 323 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: helping to carry out Glorias Steinham's work because Glorious dynam 324 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: always said that true equality, it's less about women and 325 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: men being equal out of the house, because we've made 326 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: a lot of strides there and it's more about women 327 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: and men being equal within the house, and that is 328 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: Eve Rodsky's work.
