0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the All's Fair with Laura Wasser podcast. Each week,

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>on the show, we speak with celebrities, innovators, and experts

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:16.639
<v Speaker 1>about all kinds of relationships, including divorce, love, war, and

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:21.479
<v Speaker 1>everything in between. Here's our conversation with television personality Dina Lohan,

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>who rose to fame as the mother and manager of

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>actress Lindsay Lohan. In addition to Lindsay, Dina has three

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>other children with ex husband Michael, and in this episode

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 1>of All's Fair with Laura Wasser, she opens up to

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>me about her journey to co parenting successfully with her

0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>ex and why her work raising awareness about domestic violence

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>is so important. Hi. There, it's me Laura Wasser, the

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>divorce attorney and the founder of It's over Easy, the

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>online divorce service. I've been practicing family law for over

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty years, and I've worked on thousands of divorces, shepherding

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>people through what may be one of the most terrifying

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>times in their lives. Along the way, I often have

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to remind people to lower their expectations when dealing with

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>matters of the heart. Rules simply don't apply because all's

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>fair in love and war. So welcome to the All's

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Fair Podcasts. Fasten your seatbelts and let's go. I'm Laura Wasser,

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the divorce attorney and founder and CEO of the online

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>divorce service It's Over Easy. I'm Johnny Rains, and this

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>is the All's Fair podcast where everything relevant to relationships

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.919
<v Speaker 1>is up for examination and discussion. Relationships, by their very nature,

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>are layered and fluid, and they change shape as we evolve.

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>It's my job to observe and interpret these observations into

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>tools that can help families achieve their next iterations. Divorce

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>can be many things, but it doesn't have to be ugly,

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and my advice to celebrities and civilians alike is keep

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>it amicable. Do your best to keep the split under

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>wraps social media silence, don't publicly attack your ex, keep

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>your kids best interest in mind. But of course people

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>don't always follow my advice, fools that they are. We'll

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>get into that with our next guest, who has turned

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>her next chapter into something special, not only for herself

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>but for her children as well. Joining us now is

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.480

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>as the magazine this month, you say that your ex

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Michael Lohan, and you have come to a very good

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>place co parenting your four kids. Tell us a little

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>bit about how you guys got there. That's a loaded question,

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>you know. Divorce is tough, Relationships are tough, marriage is tough.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of toughs in there. But you know, I

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>got married very young. Michael and I both were very young.

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>So prior to me getting married, I was with my

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>first love who was killed in car fire. He was

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>in the same business of entertainment I was in. So

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that really changed my life clearly, and

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>um and I think now looking back in a very

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>positive way that I just felt at that time I

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>really grew a lot. I didn't go out for a year,

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just kind of watched soap operas at

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>my parents house. And then a year later I went

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to the surf Club on the Upper West Side. I

0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you know where that is in New York. Yes,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and my three best friends who were graduating from University

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of Virginia, and I was in n y U at

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the time. So I met Michael. He knocked a bottle

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of champagne off the table and risk a history, I

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>could say, but really I did, because he's like, what's

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>your last name? Um on Italian Irish genonymally and Nicolet Sullivan.

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>So I said Sullivan, looking up. Well, that's like crazy.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 1>There's like a million Sullivan's on Long Islands, you know.

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I was born in the Bronx but grew up on

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Long Island. Still here from such a Long Island girl.

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 1>But but yeah, and that the rest is pretty much history.

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I was engaged within three months, married after six. You know,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is. I've been divorced for decades

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>while where two decades and um we've grown. It wasn't immediate,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. There was a lot of things that transpired,

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>which everyone probably knows. I don't want to be reduncdant.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I just know that now we're friends. Were in a

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>great place. Um, this guy Jesse who's in my life,

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>it's friends with Mike goals and he kind of helped

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>through that as well. Why is he friends with my

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>ex husband? But it's not a big deal because I

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I see Michael at the Hampton's and he's like,

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm like sit with us. It's like cool,

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>We're not anything. Really that the press made it so horrible.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.919
<v Speaker 1>There was a very scary time and for me personally,

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I was going through and he was going through issues

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that caused this. So now I feel we're in a

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>great place. Of my children, you know, they're older now

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>my young this is twenty three. Well, this is thirty three.

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.799
<v Speaker 1>That makes me a hundred and three, I guess. But anyway,

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>so he so that that in looking back retrospectively, you know,

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm from my parents married fifty years, so I don't

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>know divorced. I don't know about that. I'm very fortunate.

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>You know. My mother is Italian. She'd throw a couple

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>of shoes at my brother's and yards. You know. It

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't perfect. But actually I I never thought I'd be divorced.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, we all were read Cinderella right now. I

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 1>read to my kids. I'm going to read to my

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>grandchildren when we have that and The Little Train that Could? Yes, yeah,

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you do you think that the press exacerbated the

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>divorce acrimonia between you and Michael? Absolutely? But there were facts,

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, and there were things that really did happen

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that neither him nor I couldn't, you know, say it

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't true because you know, abuse going on, so so

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that was true, and um, you know, but the rest

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>was totally sensationalized. I believe, you know, it didn't have

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to be public, right, And how do you think that

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>part of it, the public part of it affected your kids.

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>We talked to so many people who are getting divorce,

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, again there's abuse, there's drug and alcohol use,

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>there's adultery, and it always is miserable. But again, in

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 1>most situations, you're not reading about it at the market

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>or having your kids friends talk about it at school.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.919
<v Speaker 1>So how did that affect your children? How old were they?

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, when you guys split up. Um, well,

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>we were together and split up several times and with

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>all four children for a time. Um, And then he

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>went through his own situation, which is for him to tell.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't like talking about somebody else if they're not here,

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>So I can only tell you what happened to me, Um,

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and Lindsay was little and Michael was little. The two

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>older ones there was you know, there was like eight

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>years in between that, so six to eight years in

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>between that where we weren't together and I custody, sould custody,

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>so so it was a very different time and the

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>younger two weren't really affected as much. So I feel

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the older too, which is why you know they used

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the word co parenting. Um. You know, our children are

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>going to grow up and have relationships and have our

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>grown there's certainly not grown up. You don't say. By

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>my daughter is thirty three, I'm not gonna hang out

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>with her, talk to her mother is always a mother

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and father as well, and I think both parents and

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I stressed this to any one going through a divorce,

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of brings tears in my eyes because

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>they they have to keep their problems separate. Mine happened

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to be in the media, you know, So it got

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>crazy and I had to deal with that and that certainly,

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I cried myself to sleep a lot, and you know,

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to go on TV and protect lindsay situation

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>because it's my child, not to say I don't reprimand

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>her when she's home, which I do, I mean, but

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't gonna cut and bleed for her to tell

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>her story on on television. And there were people I

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>trusted that talked about me and sold stories, you know,

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 1>personal personal things, which was very, very hurtful. So that

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>was difficult on my child, first of all, and you

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>know that takes its toll. But I think now that

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 1>we're in a good place, and I feel and we've

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>been in a good place for a while, and I

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>feel that they need to have clarity with both parents good,

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>better and different to move off with their wives. You're

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>listening to All's Fair with Laura Wasser, a new podcast

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that provides a fresh take on navigating the most important

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 1>relationships in our lives, including the ones with our co parents.

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Give me an example, particularly during this quarantine situation. I

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>know the two girls are in Dubai. Yes, yes, this

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is really crazy because they always have kids around me.

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like either their friends or you know, forever. I've

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>been in this house eighteen years, Um, so I'm going

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>through a lot empty nesting. You know what a lot

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of people are going through Lentina Alana or in Dubai.

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>How are you to FaceTime with them? I mean, how

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 1>are you? How are the you and Michael able to

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>keep in touch with with each other and the four

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>kids during this pandemic with everything everything being so uncertain.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they're being anxiety. They're wanting to look to

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 1>mom and dad to kind of either calm them down,

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 1>or maybe they're worried about you guys because we're all

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>older now. So how is the family interacting during this time?

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>And more particularly, how are you and Michael kind of

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>keeping it together for them? Um? Michael's married to someone

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>else and he has little children, so he kind of

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>has his own life, and you know, I'm I speak

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to him at times, but it's not like an everyday thing.

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>And um my, so my girls we that's separate. You know,

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 1>they'll call him or I I face time and zoom.

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>My girls they're like every second they talked to do this.

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 1>And my son and his Beyonce wife from I saying

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 1>sorry sorry, Nina. They're married and live in Manhattan. Okay,

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>they've been married for three years. And then my other

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>son to code and my youngest who I also manages

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>quarantine in l A. He's a guy, models and works

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>as an actor out there. So we're all over the

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 1>place and I'm dog sitting co hop, which I'm surprisingly

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.440
<v Speaker 1>not jumping on me right now. It's called a retreater

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 1>who's five, so he doesn't talk, so it's really hard

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>for me kind of a talker. Um And my mom

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>is very close to me. She's nineties six. She's my rock,

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and my girls call my mom and my boys all

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the time. She's like, you know, Lindsay, you'll forget the

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>time difference. It will be kind of late at night

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 1>for my mom and she's like, I'll pick up anytime,

0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 1>any time you call, which is amazing. They still have

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>their grandmother at her and I saw my mom. I

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 1>lost my dad about fifteen years ago. So but we're

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 1>thank God for Zoom and these these this technology exactly.

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>So tell us a little bit about Reconstructing Hope, the

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>five o NC nonprofit. Tell us what it does and

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>why you're so interested in it. Well, reconstructing a Hope.

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.600
<v Speaker 1>They came to me several years back and what they do,

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it's really amazing anyone who's been a victim of abuse.

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>They go as far as there's a team of doctors,

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and they go as far as even a tattoo removal

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to have the woman or man for that matter. You know,

0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>it's any relationship can be abusive and they'll be someone

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>to remove the tattoo. If godad, someone's nose is broken,

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>they'll reconstruct that. It's all free, there's no charge. Um.

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>They have you know, therapists there. Whether these are victims

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of domestic violence who are getting help and particularly reconstructive

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>surgery or aesthetic things change and go online to Reconstructing

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Hope dot org and they will get that information where

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 1>you go and help them. We're in New York, California,

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to be in other states soon. But

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a wonderful thing because you know a lot of

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 1>people in you know, everyone's doesn't have the financial ability

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 1>and and they're just hurting and and if they can

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>help them in any way, they're giving their time. Dentists

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of teeth are knocked out. I mean things that you know,

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>will you'll look in the mirror. They want you to

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>see yourself. They don't want you to look and see

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the past. This is your next chapter, moving on. I

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>love that. Okay, So you can go to Reconstructing Hope

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 1>dot com if dot org okay, dot org okay. And

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.319
<v Speaker 1>then for you, your next chapter has been your new

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>podcast that you're doing. Yes, it was. Sannel tell us

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:12.440
<v Speaker 1>about um Well. I've known Shanella Marii for years. I

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 1>hired her when she was seventeen. When she turned eighteen,

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>she traveled with Lindsay as her assistant, and then when

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>that you know, ended and she was going back to college,

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I took her own as my assistant and then over

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the years, you know, she flourished in her own She's

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>a stand up comic. She had her own podcast. She

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 1>has Chanel in the City out of New York while

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Island Girl as well, and I'm like, she calls me

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Mama d old Lindsay's friends. That's where that came from.

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>And still is it sounds it's actually real. Um. So

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>she's had it early, her own podcast, And I didn't

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>know anything about this world. I was on hers and

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>it was wonderful, and I said, I have an idea,

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>why don't you come on and you know, close with me.

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't the host, she's the co host, and she's

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.520
<v Speaker 1>a whole mother demographic. She's there six but she um,

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>she actually brings the millenniums to me and and that demographics,

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm an older I bring the older people and

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a beautiful marriage, I think. So to speak. In

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>this world and nothing's nothing's off topic. We we go

0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>from suit to nuts, from a list of normal people

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to doctors, lawyers, and it's on Spotify, yes, Spotify and

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>iTunes and then it'll drop to my heart. Got it? Okay?

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not sure that you're familiar with too much litigation,

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.160
<v Speaker 1>but one of the tools that we attorne easy. Yes,

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I am. Okay, So I'm sorry, lawyers, but you're the best.

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. So one of the tools that used during

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the discovery phase is called interrogatories, and so there are

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>formal questions that require the opposing party to respond with

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.560
<v Speaker 1>information relevant to the matter that's being litigated. So here

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on all's fair, they're not really that serious, but they're

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>very important. So, Dina, will you play the interrogatory game

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>with us? Yes? And do you swear to tell the truth,

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Tina, which

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>relationship in your life has had the most profound impact

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>my father? And tell us why? Well, I'm the youngest

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of three older brothers and many boys on my mother's

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Italian side and no girls. So I gravitated my dad.

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like Daddy's a little girl so to speak.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And Um, he just taught me so much and made

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>me the person I am today. He was involved in

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 1>many charities, he was started meals on wheels, big brothers,

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Dr J and him. I don't know if you know

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Dr J. The past called Claire. Um started that my

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>old too. You don't you don't look old to We're

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 1>not old. As Elizabeth Teller said, she'll never say a

0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>day over fifties, so I have it. I'd like thirty

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>nine better, but oh well, um, but there's no botox

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>during quarantine, so we're all kind of over then. Um. Anyway, Actually,

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>my dad was just just a very giving, loving, my

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 1>mom as well person and all my life he's taught

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 1>me so many lessons that I carry with me. And

0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>like I said, my children lived at my parents house

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>for a while and my dad was very very instrumental

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in their upbringing. With me is also you know also

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>because like I said, I was very young having Lindsay

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and he was very very important in that as well.

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Nice what's your favorite love song? Oh God, when you Johnny,

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.600

<v Speaker 1>there's like a thousand because I'm a die hark romantic,

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 1>which is probably lame at this point, but um, all

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of you hopeful romantic, we we believe in that true,

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:04.000

<v Speaker 1>live here. We haven't met. We're gonna meet after coronavirus

0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.280
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't met yet, known him for seven going

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 1>on seven years talking to him on the phone. We started,

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of course as friends and then you know, it evolved

0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>over that time, and um, I just feel that Jesse

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and I are at a place where we really care

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.920
<v Speaker 1>about each other deeply, and we're going to see where

0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:29.640
<v Speaker 1>it closed after Corona. But so you've never seen him

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in person, even when you guys find friend time zoo

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>right but not No. Wow, that's really exciting. But it's

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.639
<v Speaker 1>not as weird as it seems because the irony of

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>that is during this time, virtual dating and all these

<v Speaker 1>always tell my girls, get to know somebody first, like

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.320
<v Speaker 1>talk on the phone. You know, of course the rest

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of it will come, you know, just don't jump right

0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 1>into something before you actually speak to them and hear

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>their words and know really what they're about. One of

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the benefits actually of dating online and dating virtually now

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.400
