It's a little bit slower, it's a 128 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: little bit more soothing, I think because Matt is having 129 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: to sort of keep a low cap, a low lid 130 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: on the the vocal energy, which is really trademark. Matt 131 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: is literally healing, and my show is all about healing, 132 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: about emotional healing. Yeah, I'm happy to I'm happy to 133 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: bring the good vibes here. I had to be there, 134 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: you know. You know. The thing is, though, when I 135 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: see you, I smiled too big, And when I smile 136 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: too big, my stitch is rip open. Then I have 137 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: to go get another procedure. No, he's I'm kidding. Okay, good, Yeah, 138 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I mean to answer your question, I'm fine. I'm you know, 139 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: ups and downs, but generally, I think I'm in a 140 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: similar vibe to what Matt has been saying on the 141 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Pot the past couple of episodes about sort of getting 142 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: into a stasis and then trying not to go too 143 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: high or too low and just kind of being in 144 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: that placid state day to day, which is nice. Yeah. 145 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: Has it been like a sustained static thing for the 146 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: whole pandemic? Are we talking about a more recent local 147 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: stretch of time. I think, well, I mean, I think 148 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 1: there were times in the early part where I allowed 149 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: myself to get taken on rides every single day, you know, 150 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: and like you open your I mean obviously right now, Um, 151 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: I've only read his name. I've not said his name 152 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: out loud, so I can't think of it Dante, right, 153 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: thank you.

They both said we 157 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: are coming because we love this show so much. And 158 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: I said, am I I will not get between you 159 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: two and Boone and Matt I won't do it. So 160 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: they're here. Um. But yeah, So like I I think 161 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: in the earlier part, I would have um allowed myself 162 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: to go on a journey, an emotional journey of like 163 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: yet another unarmed black man being killed by the police 164 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: who can't seem to figure out if it's a taser 165 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: or a gun that their whole you know, maybe they 166 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a police, Maybe they shouldn't be a police officer. 167 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: They can't tell the difference interesting like base level, you know. 168 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: And and also it's so funny you would say that 169 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: bowing about like I mean, it's so funny for us 170 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: to be talking about this now. Because on your episode 171 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: of Soul Bomb we talked about Elijah McLaine. There was 172 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: listening to this talk between John Early and Dr Catherine 173 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: Lee who at you see, Senacruis, this is so random, 174 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: But she said she said this thing where she was like, 175 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, we're not going to get rid of like 176 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: racial biases in our lifetime. So what the thing that 177 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: we all have to focus on now is like the 178 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: fact that there are racists who can hurt you and 179 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: there are racists who can't. And it's like she was 180 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: talking about how she was like she's in an interracial 181 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: marriage and she was in like Europe somewhere at a 182 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: bus stop, and then this this like woman was sneering 183 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: at them, clear taking issue with the fact that they 184 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: were um interracial, and then the husband got a Doctor 185 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: Lu's husband got a little stressed out. But then Dr 186 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: Luke just goes, what am I gonna do, like tell 187 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: this woman off and I'm never going to see again. 188 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: I mean, of course, it's like a crazy that's like 189 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: a really tense, maybe dangerous situation in the moment, but 190 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: it's like, just save the exertion, the emotional labor, let's say, 191 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: anything that has to do with like stirring you into action. 192 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Save that for the forces and the institutions and the 193 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: structures whatever that have the potential to harm people. Like 194 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: that's what it is I've got. That's that's kind of 195 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: helped me with a lot of what like as a 196 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: way of looking at a lot of stuff like this. 197 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I went on this huge tangent. No, that's 198 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: that's exactly the space that I'm living in. Because we 199 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: actually just to bring it back around. I promise I 200 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: won't plug the pod every single time. The girl should 201 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: be listening to it. I will say. The most recent 202 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: episode that we put out, I think last week, was 203 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: with this UM psychologist named Dr Mario Bouquet, and she 204 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: is a specialist in intergenerational trauma and UM sort of 205 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: like mindfulness. She's a little bit in that holistic woo 206 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: woo space, paired with the credentials of a doctorate in 207 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: psychology from Columbia. Okay, that's what makes it not so 208 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: woo because we love it. Okay, yeah, sources, we have citations, um. 209 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: But she talked about how we, you know, we've normalized 210 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: so many of these things, whether it's even just you know, 211 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: putting a mask on her face, um, but the body 212 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: doesn't process it that way. The body is still processing 213 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: all of these little things that we've come to normalize 214 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: about the pandemic, about racial trauma, about whatever, um, in 215 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: a fight or flight way because it's the only way 216 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: that we're programmed to respond to these things. And so 217 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: just because up here or like in our outward facing world, 218 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: we think we're okay if we're not actively doing something. 219 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: And that can be a sound bath. It can be 220 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: watching a television show, it can be reading, you know, 221 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: it can be talking to your sister, like, but it 222 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: has to be a conscious choice where you sit down 223 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: and you say, this is the medicine that I'm taking 224 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: to heal myself from whatever experience you had that day. 225 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: And if you aren't doing that, then it's storing in 226 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: your body and it will come out in other ways. 227 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: I feel like you you two are like you so 228 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: carry the light, like if you know that expression, like 229 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: you really do, like you just have this like energy 230 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: about you, which is just you do make people feel better, 231 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: like something that I think everyone would want to say 232 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: about themselves. I can say about you, which is like 233 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: after you haven't experienced with you, you feel better than 234 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: you did before, and so like that. But I feel 235 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: that that's true. And so I don't know about you. 236 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 1: But for me, like if I'm ever feeling useful or 237 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: like productive in the world, it has to be really 238 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: connected to my joy so like and I kind of 239 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: get that vibe from you as well, that like, do 240 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: you feel like you're more productive creative, like useful when 241 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: you are feeling joyful, or do you do you like 242 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: sort of create from strife? I would say it has 243 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: to be purpose driven for me, Like I am we 244 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: are Pisces, right, sister, So Scorpio king. A lot of 245 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: water here, a lot of water dripping, what drip? But 246 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: I so I'm in the It's almost like um to 247 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: stay in this woo space. My my rising is Gemini. 248 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: So my front facing is very social and very light 249 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: and very you know, like social butterfly. I bounce around, 250 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: I make people feel good. But in my sort of 251 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: like behind the scenes, I'm diving into the depths of 252 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: the darkness, and I sort of think of it as 253 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: like I'm doing that so you don't have to. You know, 254 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: I have built up a tolerance for it. I've I 255 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: know how to navigate there, and I know how to 256 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: turn that into something productive or creative for myself. Um, 257 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: And then I can sort of be I mean, of course, 258 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: I live for the Oprah comparison. It's it's the aspiration 259 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: of my entire life. I can sort of be the 260 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: guide through the darkness and we can walk through it together. Um. 261 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: But my my whole thesis statement for for life is 262 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: wanting to make people feel better. And this thing that 263 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: my dad used to say, Um, the director of the 264 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: performing arts camp that I used to go to that 265 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: like made me fall in love with performance. Um. They 266 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: both used to say, and and still say, always leave 267 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: places and people better than you found them. And that means, 268 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, cleaning up the table after you leave at 269 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: the food court in the mall that was the you know, 270 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: that was where my dad these filth queens, the leaving 271 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: the food courts like a zoo and you're walking on 272 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: the street, you know, you see some trash on the sidewalk, 273 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: like you pick it up and throw it away. It's 274 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, little things like I feel crazy when I 275 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: do that, but I do do that like now now 276 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: even in l A where it's just like a truly 277 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: lost cause in terms like I'll be like, oh this 278 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: like like it's a public park. But I think it helps. 279 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: But I mean, it's so funny that you say that, 280 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: because even even as soon as we brought you in 281 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: your you pointed out the fact that Matt is healing. 282 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: It just means that you are attuned to that idea. 283 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: Can I have such a frivolous question, but what's your moon? 284 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: What's your moon sign? I'm double Pisces girl, that's same, 285 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm Pisces rising cancer moon. So he's he's triple, he's 286 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: triple water placement. It's to cry at any beautiful I love. 287 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: I love it out him. Um Clark. I just think 288 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: that you probably provided me with like a real sense 289 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: of groundedness over the summer with that interview, because I 290 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: was like, you really, you really like had me talking 291 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: in a way that I would never I would never 292 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: open up to most people that not even my therapist. 293 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, he's got me, he's got me, 294 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: and I will tell the readers what it is. What 295 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: is it? What? No, I'm tell tell the readers what 296 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: the interview was. The interview was on soul Bomb. It 297 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: was just we were just talking about if I remember correct, 298 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: I brought up conversion therapy. I brought up forgiveness. I 299 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: brought up like all all these things. You probably don't 300 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: know this unless you've listened to the pod recently, but 301 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: we've there's a really no I know I have recently. Okay, 302 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm truly honored that. I'm my SoundBite is int there. 303 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: Oh good, I'm glad you feel that way. I I 304 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: I'm like, God, you know he got that out of me, 305 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: that Clark. I mean, I was shook by it because 306 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: I you know, we we really also speaking to the 307 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, the podcast has been healing for me. But 308 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: it's also a lot of work, as as we all know, 309 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: putting out an hour of content a week is a lot. 310 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: And it's not nothing, and it's more that it's like, 311 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: it's more that it's constant and the way that we 312 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: run our show. Um, because my producer, Simone is like 313 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 1: a proper late night producer. Thank god, we don't do 314 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: pre interviews that would be too much. But we do 315 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: extensive research beforehand, and then we also do a heavy 316 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: edit because I want to give space to um, you know, 317 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: to sort of sit in silence even or you know, 318 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: not to feel like you have to speak. And so 319 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: a lot of times the interviews will be really slow 320 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: and then we'll come back in and we'll just sort 321 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: of like the same thing with Matt's interview. I told 322 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: you there was a section at the end where I 323 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: was like, for whatever reason, I was like going for 324 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: I just kept going back to the same point, and 325 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: I was like, I feel like we got it, and 326 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: so then we pulled out a whole five minute chunk 327 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: where I was just asking the same question over and 328 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: over and over. Anyway, all this to say that it's 329 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: a lot of work, and it's a lot of emotional 330 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: labor as well, um, because I'm really sitting in that 331 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: space with the guest, which is nice and it can 332 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: be healing. But specifically, Bowen your your interview. I just 333 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: found it. So I said this to you. Then I'll 334 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: say it again, generous the way that you think back 335 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: on specifically conversion therapy and the relationship that you have 336 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: with your parents. And I was asking you about forgiveness, 337 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: your practice of forgiveness, Um, because I want to develop one, 338 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: and because I have a lot of resentments. She can 339 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: hold a grudge. You know, I'm going to hold a 340 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: grudge on this towing truck that has decided to know 341 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: you don't that. Okay, there's a Subaru on the back 342 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: of the truck and for whatever reason, it's right outside 343 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: my window. But what you said was, it's yeah, forgiveness 344 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: is a practice, and it seems like it's going to 345 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: be impossible, and then you do it, and then you're like, oh, 346 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: I did it, and then you just keep doing it. 347 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: The whole point of forgiveness is that you cut your 348 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: your your brain is telling you you have no reason 349 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: to do that. You have no reason to forgive, to 350 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: forgive someone, um, not to get like biblical even, but 351 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: like yeah, that's just that's kind of the whole not 352 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: virtue of it. It's just like it's it's it's it's irrational, 353 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: Like forgiveness is irrational. I want to ask you, but 354 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: to be where you're saying, like it is emotional labor. 355 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: What are you doing to release that? Like what are 356 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: you doing? What are you doing? Like what's your sound 357 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: about what's your TV show, what's your what's your what? 358 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: For a while, I've I've also had to be I've 359 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: also had to switch it up, you know, because you 360 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: get into a habit and you sort of so I'm 361 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: actually dry at the moment. I know, at the top 362 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: of Quarantine, I was dry for a while and then 363 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: I was like what am I doing? And then I 364 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: was smoking weed like every day for a while. And 365 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: then a couple of weeks ago to three or maybe 366 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,719 Speaker 1: four weeks ago. Um, I stopped and have replaced it 367 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: with bedtime reading, which has been really nice. And I 368 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: read De Transition Baby by Tory Peters. I stopped like 369 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: a third of the way through, but I was just like, 370 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: this is so sexy and hot and I love everything 371 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: about this. It was not good nighttime reading because it's 372 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: a page turner and it's like it gets you sort 373 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: of going. But I read that last week and enjoyed it. Um. 374 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: I watched everything I'm watching every like all of the 375 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: not possible, but there's a lot. There's a lot of things. 376 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: I actually I made notes of what I watched this weekend, 377 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: So I watched thunder Force. What did you think? I 378 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: thought it was so funny. I am very Melissa McCarthy girl. 379 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: I love a tag you Spencer, and I love their 380 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: press narrative. Over the past they were friends like ye 381 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: and years they were auditioning together, like for like under 382 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: fives and stuffy old school Hollywood friends. Octavia is like 383 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: friends with Melissa's parents. You know, it's like true friendship. 384 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: And that layer of the narrative added it was I 385 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: thought it was funny, and they were up against each 386 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: other at the Oscars when Octavia was yeah, that's so, 387 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: that's crazy thing. I also rewatched Frances ha Oh great, 388 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: which I love, Love Love Love, I Love Noah Love Greta. 389 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: Of course it's very white, but still very good. One 390 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: of the great films of white cinema, one of the 391 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: great one of the great white films. Frances Hayes Black 392 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: and White and White. Yes, speaking of white people, y'all 393 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: should watch the Netflix documentary about the college admission scandal. 394 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: Did you watch it? Oh? My god? I did. Shooty 395 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: Night Student. I tried to start it, and then once 396 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: it got to like the recreated it like the recreation, 397 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: I was like, now I'm out, I'm out, I'm out. 398 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: I had doubts too about the recreations. But it actually, 399 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: by the end, it's kind of good because you realize 400 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: just how ridiculous some of the conversations that these parents 401 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: were having like that, like once it gets into the 402 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: real thick of it, like and you're actually hearing real 403 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: transcripts acted out of the way people talk about their 404 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: kids like this one woman that's like, the thing is, 405 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, we're dealing with my younger daughter, and she's 406 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: so much smarter than the older daughter. Like my older 407 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: daughter was never gonna ask questions about this, but my 408 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: younger daughter isn't stupid like my older daughter. So good. 409 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: I loved that when she dragged her kids. Yeah, and 410 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: then and then you realize like like eventually, like the 411 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: kids are gonna find out that you did this, and 412 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: that they even say and the thing like, you know, 413 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: I think while the while the parents would say they 414 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: were thinking about their kids, when when they did this, 415 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: like they were really not right right right right right now. Yeah, 416 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: I watched it, and the same thing. But when I 417 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: was like, these reenactments are going to be brutal, they were. 418 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: They seem to like that we're gonna be tacky. And 419 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: then I was like, you know what, girl, you get 420 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: your COVID check. Okay, I have to some things. I 421 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: would not have said yes to Ae. Okay, I'm like, 422 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: you do what you got?

I was like, yeah, Matthew, sorry, 425 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: I go ahead and keep going. And then and then 426 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: what else? What else have we consumed? I weirdly had 427 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: a an emotional reaction to god Zilla versus Kong, which 428 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: I watched yesterday. Emotional reaction extreme anger. No, I cried, 429 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: beautiful girl. Okay. So, first of all, who do you 430 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: identify with? Well, it's it wasn't actually have y'all seen 431 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: it not? I have not. I'm dying too, okay, So 432 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: how can we not spoil the You can, you can spoil. 433 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: I have a feeling I kind of know what the 434 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: spoiler is. I feel like I will love it no 435 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: matter what I think of love love. I really love 436 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: those movies. So okay. So the thing that made me 437 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: cry is a little bit of a spoiler in that 438 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: it opens up a plot device, but it's not any 439 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: of any like big spoilers. So so so Letten reader, 440 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: if you're listening, you haven't seen it. Um, skip ahead, 441 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: let's say five minutes. Well, we'll give you a to 442 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: a specific time signature. But yes, okay, great, sorry, keep going, Clark. 443 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: So basically, around thirty minutes, there's this little girl who 444 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: has like developed a relationship with Kong in the habitat 445 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: that he's living in, and she is hearing impaired, and 446 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: you sort of see through the first thirty minutes that 447 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: she's like has a relationship with him, but you don't 448 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: really know what it is. And right around minute thirty 449 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: it is revealed in the most beautiful way that the 450 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: relationship she has with her is that she can communicate 451 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: with him through sign language. And the reason why it 452 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: got me, the reason why it got me was it 453 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: because it was just such a beautiful narrative that this 454 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: girl's I'm literally gonna cry. This girl's disability is her superpower. 455 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: It's a crucial plot device. The only way anyone else 456 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: can can communicate with Kong is through this girl's relationship 457 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: because of her disability, And um, it was just so 458 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: like in this time of representation and the conversations of 459 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: like shoehorning, diversity in and how brutal it is to 460 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: watch them check boxes, you know, and like for it 461 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: to be such a thoughtful inclusion and for it to 462 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: be the main, driving, crucial plot point. You know, it 463 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: got me, It got And then he signs home to her, 464 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was, Oh my god, clerk, there 465 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: was some good stuff in there. I would say, while 466 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: we're still in spoiler zone, Um, it always irritates me 467 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: when it's like Godzilla versus Kong and then at the 468 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: end there's no winner because they're both actually good. Like 469 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: Godzilla comes in kills what has to be millions of people, 470 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: like pleasers, like stomping on buildings doing Godzilla's gig, like 471 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: he comes in fully on game. And then at the 472 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: end they have a conversation. They're like they speak to 473 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: one another. And by the way, there's a really good 474 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: line by Rebecca Hall, which is we think they have 475 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: an ancient rivalry. Like she's just like sort of rifling 476 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: tho drawers, trying to find papers or whatever, and she's like, 477 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: we believe they have an ancient rivalry. And it's like, well, 478 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: this is just pure camp. And then honestly, maybe I 479 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: loved it at the end and they spoke to each 480 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: other and decided that Godzilla would go back to the sea. 481 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Like, but I just I 482 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: guess when you say someone versus someone, there should be 483 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: a winner. And you know, I mean, shouldn't we as 484 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: an audience be trained around the idea that there will 485 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: be not like you're not gonna kill or those are 486 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: two icons. Yeah, they can't die. No, No, I agree 487 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: with you, and I feel like, you know, I'm being 488 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: a little facetious here. I really want them both to live. 489 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: I love both the girls. I love both of the girls, 490 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: both the girls. They represent so much. It would be 491 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: like it would be like at the end of the podcast, 492 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: if one of one of us had to die, were 493 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: two icons on their left, we have to both live, 494 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Well that as a as 495 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: a reader, that's how we feel when you guys talk 496 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: about the suicide pact, that you've created, the Megan McCain's 497 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: suicide pact. Okay, we don't want to lose you. I 498 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: really don't think she's coming on, so okay, I think 499 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: I think that she is. Things have happened this year, 500 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: Are things have happened? No, I don't think. I don't 501 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: think it's in the cards. Wait, Clark, can I ask 502 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: you another frivolous question, even to undercut how perfectly put 503 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: you just just just just what you found so beautiful 504 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: about this film where you stoned when you watched it? 505 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: I was not okay, it was ride. At the time, 506 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: I was not a pound of edibles. If I was. 507 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: If I was stoned, I probably would have laughed a 508 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: lot more. I probably would have liked, huh, gone on 509 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: a ride with the visual experience. But because I was, 510 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: because I was sober, actually not only did I cry more, 511 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: but but in the context of Biden presenting his infrastructure plan, 512 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: the only thing I could think about was as Godzilla 513 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: is destroying Hong Kong. Okay, that's a billion dollars. There's 514 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: two and a half billions. Where are we getting the 515 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 1: budget to rebuild Hong Kong? And if you're taxing my ass, 516 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: which I'm okay with, I don't want my money going 517 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: towards a pothole in a white neighborhood. I want that. 518 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: Come on, okay, tax them there ancient? What kind of 519 00:29:49,400 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: generational wealth have they developed? Exactly exactly have you been 520 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: watching the race girls? Wow? He said, I watched everything 521 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: and he's not watching the race. Here's the veil for me, 522 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: I have not watched. I stopped watching reality television a 523 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And this is actually something I know. 524 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: I really want to know this, but I I want 525 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: to hear why. So it was and you know what's 526 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: so funny, It was Potomac for me that really made 527 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: me sort of go over the edge. And two years ago, yes, 528 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: I want to say it was whenever the narrative about 529 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: Robin and the house and the divorce and not having 530 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: any money, and you know, like I don't know, I 531 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: can't speak to their narratives now, but got worse. So 532 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: this is the thing that I have always found so strange, 533 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: and Potomac I think was what lifted the veil for 534 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: all the other uh you know girls in the franchise. 535 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: For me, um, I thought it was supposed to be 536 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: about aspirational wealth, and I thought it was supposed to 537 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: be about people who had a certain amount of money 538 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: that either we never would have and or like, isn't 539 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: it great to see them fail socially because they have 540 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: money that we're jealous of, you know, or like, isn't 541 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: it great to see people fight because that's the only 542 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: way that I can make sense of the fact that 543 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: they have, you know, this conspicuous consumption that we're watching 544 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: on television. But then with Potomac, it was like, all 545 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: these girls are broke, and so I'm like, okay, wait 546 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: are these are these women on the show? And then 547 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: also with all the other places, you start to see 548 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: how they become dependent on the income in order to 549 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: maintain the lifestyle. They go in and they have some 550 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: amount of wealth that they have accumulated or whatever. And 551 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: now though now they have to make their one million 552 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: a year on real house Eyes of Atlanta or there, 553 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: however many hundreds of thousands a year on whatever other thing. 554 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: And so many of them start there with the hopes 555 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: of going somewhere else. I think of a person like Nani, 556 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: and then that doesn't necessarily pan out in the traditional sense, 557 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: and so then they have to come back anyway. All 558 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: this to say, and this is what I'm really curious 559 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: y'all's thoughts are. I've started to feel complicit in really 560 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: the destruction of these women's lives because the drama is 561 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: contrived but real, the divorces are real, the estrangement from 562 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: their children is real. You know, and then like the 563 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: dependency on this, you know, it's this negative feedback loop 564 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: that they've sort of seemed to get gotten trapped in. 565 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: That makes that makes complete sense to me. I see, 566 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: Like what you're sort of disillusioned by is that this 567 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: seems like a codependent thing where it's the network or 568 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: it's UM, it's or it's or whatever. It's the network 569 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: depending on the housewives as talent, and then the housewives 570 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: depending on the network is a source of income when 571 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: it's really a one way exploitation. UM, and that problem 572 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: that might have opened your eyes to all the reality 573 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: TV or most reality TV, which is also exploitative in 574 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: that same way, you know, any day fiances your UM. 575 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just like I feel like that that 576 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: is the prime example, not the prime example, like your hoarders. 577 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: You're like that kind of thing. Yeah, six pound life. 578 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: You know, I think it's interesting, Like what I like 579 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: about the Housewives is um the sort of ways in 580 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: which people really say what they feel and I actually 581 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: has I think, and this is maybe a reach for 582 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: me to say, but it may they have improved how 583 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: I deal with conflict in my life because I'm less 584 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: afraid of what's going to happen if I say what 585 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: I really think to someone and say, what's bothering me? 586 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: But maybe because I've seen it display so many times 587 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: in such bad ways on these shows, but also in 588 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: such productive ways. But in terms of your thing about um, 589 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: like it feels like it's not like a symbiotic relationship, 590 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: like it's them taking taking taking. I think it depends 591 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: who you are. I think if you are someone like 592 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: let's say Jen Shaw on The Real Housewives of Salt 593 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: Lake City, and you know you are a criminal, and 594 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: you know you've stolen millions from hundreds of people, working 595 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: class people, then I don't think you go on a 596 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: reality show because yes, your life is going to be destroyed. 597 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: I think if you're someone like Erica Jane and you 598 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: know more than you say about what your husband has done, 599 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: maybe don't go on the reality show. If she truly 600 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: didn't know anything and she thought this is gonna be 601 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: a way to connect myself with a new audience, and 602 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 1: you know, I have a music career that I want 603 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: more people to know about, then maybe that's why she 604 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: did it. But I think it's like any person can 605 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: go out in the world and going out in the 606 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: world can go well for you or go badly for you. 607 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: So I think that these people, whether they're delusional or not, 608 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: they sign up for this opportunity knowing that it can 609 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,880 Speaker 1: go well for them or badly for them. I just 610 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: think not enough people are realistic enough about how it's 611 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: gonna go for them. But that's what makes them really 612 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: good reality stars. And I do think it's fun to watch. 613 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: And I like you're saying, because they all do have 614 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: this like wealth they can fall back on. I don't 615 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: really feel bad if someone's daughter is mad at them 616 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: because they said that the daughter didn't look good in 617 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: clothes when they went to the reality show and paraded 618 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: this opinion about like it's it's it's to me. It's 619 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: like it's like a study in like Hubris lack thereof. 620 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: I think it's some says something really crazy about America, 621 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: which I really like watching. I think it's also a 622 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: response to um. The reality shows like that were sort 623 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: of around and like the early aughts that were all 624 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: about aspirational wealth, like it felt like, you know, the 625 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: fabulous life, and like everything was about these rich, rich, 626 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: rich people and these shows really bringing them down to earth. 627 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: And I feel like watching that happen is cathartic a 628 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: little bit. Um that being said, I also I know 629 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: that a little bit of what I'm saying it was like, no, no, no, 630 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: it's still good. I'm fine, And what you're saying is right. 631 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: It's why I avoided it for so long. That's why 632 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: I never got into it for so long as I 633 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: was like you, the last thing you could get me 634 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: to watch is The Housewives, right then, I actually think 635 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: it's some of the better reality TV that's out there, 636 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: to be honest, but do you feel like Clark, that 637 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: there's a reality TV shaped hole in your consumption or 638 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: you just like, no, I'm good, Like there's plenty of 639 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,439 Speaker 1: stuff to watch. Well, it's the it's that it's also 640 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: appaired with the time. Uh, you know, you have so 641 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: many scripted series now and you couldn't possibly watch everything. Um, 642 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: So I don't feel I do sometimes feel um, I 643 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: do sometimes feel out of the conversation, and so in 644 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: those times I'll try to like, like I did watch Um, 645 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: I guess it's more of a documenteries. But I did 646 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: watch Tiger King, which was a docuseries. The biggest compliment ever, 647 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: But that's similarly I felt so like dirty watching that, 648 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: and so like, oh, I will say, I did watch, 649 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: and I really enjoyed selling Sunset. And the reason I 650 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: did was because I was loving your your episodes about it, 651 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: and I just didn't. I just like, I don't get it, 652 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: but I want to engage in this conversation, so I 653 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 1: will sometimes um dive in, but usually I'm just trying 654 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: to create some distance. Sure, and for selling Sunset, there 655 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: is some not exception to to to to to this 656 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: um this idea around reality UM that that you're sort 657 00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: of that I think you're sort of holding in a 658 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: very nuanced understanding way, but it's that you're they don't. 659 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel it doesn't feel like these people are 660 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,959 Speaker 1: being exploited, with the exception of like what's her face, 661 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 1: Davina right, especially knowing the context of Adam what is 662 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: his name, Adam de Villo, Adam the Hills, the Hills guy, Yeah, 663 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: he did the Hills and Laguna, and so knowing I 664 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: guess this is also sort of part of what I'm 665 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: saying about reality television in general, is like being at 666 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: a point now where every class of person, not socio 667 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: economic class, but every like new class of Housewives or 668 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: you know TV show whatever. These are all people who 669 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,439 Speaker 1: have all watched some version of reality television. We're not 670 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 1: getting people who have no idea. We're not getting what 671 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: was her name on season one of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Um, 672 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: she only lasted one season and she was so sweet. 673 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: Not Deshaun, Maybe it was Deshaun And she wrote like 674 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: a fifteen thousand dollar um tithing check in her megachurch 675 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: on like the second episode of the show. You know, 676 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: you're not getting people who have no idea what they're 677 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 1: getting into anymore. You're getting people like Divina exactly, who 678 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: are going onto this with some like wacko idea of 679 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: like this is how I'm going to create my narrative 680 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:39,919 Speaker 1: on this show when she tried to sell I hope 681 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: we can continue to follow that narrative. And also, in 682 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: a way, you have seen drag because you've seen Christine 683 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: in the sunset, so your drag race quote is sort 684 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,919 Speaker 1: of filled there. Um it maybe time now, as we wait, 685 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: I'm in the drag race canon. I don't know how 686 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: I haven't mentioned this, do you know this? Wait? So 687 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: Alex my one of my best friends, Alex Knewell my 688 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: good Judy. Yes, was on uh celebrity Yes, yes, yes, yes, 689 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: of course of course and that was the roast episode. Yes, 690 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 1: and there's oh was it? I? Actually it was Alex 691 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: and two other people competing for money for charity, and 692 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: Alex got Bob the drag queen um as a mentor, 693 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: and they were all they all had like once they 694 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: got into drag they had to show their friends and 695 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: family and whatever. And so I am on Alex's iPhone. 696 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: My Chiron was Alex's friend, and my IMDb credits I 697 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 1: don't know, put thank you and yeah, there I am 698 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: on Alex's not himself, not self, Alex's friend, exactly, very distinguished, 699 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: very we're playing the role. I was playing the role. Yeah, 700 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: we must know the answer that you have to our 701 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: question that we ask every single guest. And it's just 702 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: truly the moment, which is Clark, what was the culture 703 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: that made you say? Culture was for you? This is 704 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: so hard to answer, And of course I've thought about 705 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: it at length. I think about it every single episode 706 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: and it gives me a little bit of an anxiety 707 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: attack because I'm like, what am I going to say? Um? 708 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 1: The reason why it's hard for me to to answer, though, 709 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: is because I a theme that I've sensed in a 710 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: number of your guests is certainly as they've become performers 711 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: or like known performers, there is a shift where they 712 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: feel like it's something they do alone, privately for themselves 713 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: at home, in their community theater or whatever, to like, oh, 714 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: now I'm going to do this on a bigger stage. 715 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to do this on in TV and film, 716 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this on Broadway. But for me, I 717 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: just covered performance as a child actor, like so immediately, 718 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: like my earliest memories of you know, theater or auditioning 719 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: are also some of my earliest conscious memories. So I 720 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: never felt separate from culture. I had the opposite. I 721 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: was just waiting for the phone to ring for me 722 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: to go be in a movie. You know. I was 723 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: always like I had that delusion from day one. But 724 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: I will say I coned through the memories and I 725 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: did pick one. That is, it wasn't necessarily the only moment, 726 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: but it was one of many, and it's curated specifically 727 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: for the girls here. So Curation Station, You're welcome. I 728 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: in elementary school, I like everyone here. I loved the 729 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: Spice girls. They were my everything. They were my all. 730 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: It sounds insane to say this because it really makes 731 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 1: me feel a hundred years old, but I had there. 732 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: I can't remember what the album was called, but I 733 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: had it on a a track I had on a tape, Spice, Spice. 734 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: It was white with the colors yeah, in the letters, 735 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And I loved it so much that 736 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: I actually had a little I guess you could call 737 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:27,439 Speaker 1: it a cover band, and we would. We were called 738 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 1: the Spice Kids, and we were for Spice Girls tracks 739 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: exclusively on the wood ships during recess so on like 740 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:44,439 Speaker 1: the you know, and the moment, the specific moment where 741 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 1: I was like started to see the pieces come together. 742 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: You know. It's that meme where like Cira Cedric is 743 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,399 Speaker 1: looking around or whoever it is looking around and all 744 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: the numbers are flying around their heads. Yes, yes she does. 745 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 1: We call her numbers numbers. It's rule of culture number 746 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 1: number um. And I was I was seeing sort of 747 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: like the behind the scenes. So they have this performance. 748 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,919 Speaker 1: Do you remember the song Naked we talk Istanbul where 749 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,959 Speaker 1: they they're nude behind the chairs, behind the chairs chairs. Yeah, 750 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 1: this is one of the most psychonic moments in culture. 751 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: It's it's actually a very very formative And is this 752 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,399 Speaker 1: on the list? I don't think that's not on the list. 753 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: But have to do in the Vice world. The album 754 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 1: in the film is in the top fifty. Yes. And 755 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: so they the lights are out, you see nothing. You 756 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: see the silhouettes of these women who we love come out, 757 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: and you see that there's something going on, but you 758 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. They sit behind the chairs. 759 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 1: The lights come up, they dropped the towels and they're 760 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: quote unquote naked behind the chairs that they're sitting in backwards. Okay. 761 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: The reason why I say this is the moment that 762 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: I knew culture was for me is because even as 763 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: a six year old, when I was watching that, I 764 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,240 Speaker 1: immediately was like, Okay, I know they're not naked because 765 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: it would be illegal, it would be lude, it would 766 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: be right, so they would crude and rude, right, So 767 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: they have to have something going on there. There's some 768 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,879 Speaker 1: sort of production element here and there. They have successfully 769 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 1: created the illusion, right, and that's what it all is. Right. 770 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: That's as as any actors, you know, you know that 771 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: you're creating an illusion that is experienced in the viewer. 772 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: It's not real, it's it's this magic trick and I 773 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 1: this is actually why my cover band became banned be 774 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 1: A in an E D. So I well know, because 775 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: I was like, we can't. But I attempted to recreate 776 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: that moment on the wood Chips with my chips. Oh 777 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: my god.

I don't remember one of them, which I 807 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: feel so bad. It's such a Michelle Williams situation. But 808 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 1: my second lead vocalist was actually a woman by the 809 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: name of now my name is Dr Alicia Kramer, and 810 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 1: she is mayor to U S. Senator John Assaf. Oh 811 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 1: my god, so let me Georgia. He could put it down. 812 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: I knew it from the second I saw him. I 813 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: was like, he could put it down. I know it. 814 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: I know he gets real sweet and sensitive. And I 815 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: bet he's married to former Spice Kid who now goes 816 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: by the name dr. Now what what? So basically you 817 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 1: had three girls and the Spice Kids. You understand there's 818 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: famously five. So did you have identities similar to famously? 819 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 1: The Spice Girls were sort of you understand, baby, posh, sporty, 820 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 1: scary and ginger. Explain that we did so the way 821 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,840 Speaker 1: that I worked around it, because you have to understand 822 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 1: Matt and bowhen not everyone was talented enough to be 823 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,359 Speaker 1: in the Spice Kids and the whole week. Actually, this 824 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: is why we had to cap it at three because 825 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: there wasn't you know, we weren't going to dull ourselves 826 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: water it down to have her fourth and a fifth 827 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: just to be you know, true too, true to the original. 828 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: That's why you caught LaToya and LaTavia. Okay, I wasn't 829 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: gonna say it, but anti reclusion icon clarkmore exclusive from 830 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,319 Speaker 1: the beginning. So I said to the girls, I said 831 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: we can, I said, so, I said to the girls, 832 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: and I said, we can do whatever you want. You know, 833 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,560 Speaker 1: if you want to have a name, if you want 834 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 1: to pick a name, you can combine a name, I 835 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: will allow y'all to choose. The only thing that I 836 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: know for sure is that I am baby, and so 837 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,800 Speaker 1: I went by baby boy. I didn't go by a 838 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,280 Speaker 1: baby spice. I went by baby baby boy, baby boy. 839 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,240 Speaker 1: And then I don't remember what the other girls chose, 840 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,919 Speaker 1: but I specifically remember baby boy. And I remember having 841 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 1: a little lollipop like Emma and being a little cheeky 842 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,560 Speaker 1: six year old. Now here's the deal. I think as adults, 843 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: we can all say, like, I identify with a certain 844 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 1: Spice girl. Now like I I I genuinely identify on 845 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: this day, of all days in my life with like 846 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: more of a scary spice energy. I identify with more 847 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: of a sort of ginger spice rising. And I think 848 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: that posh lives inside me. But there's something about being 849 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 1: a kid, like I don't think there were a lot 850 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: of kids looking at the Spice girls and not saying 851 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,279 Speaker 1: I'm baby baby was everyone wanted to be a baby. Yes, 852 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,240 Speaker 1: that's why I had to claim it, Okay, and not 853 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: not not to keep digging into this bit, but you 854 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: are gate keeping girl bossing the house down. No, I 855 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: love this girl bossing. Another front runner for title event 856 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 1: so shocking to have three. Wow. So then who were 857 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: Alicia and the other one? What were their identities? Doctor 858 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: Dr Alicia fool. I want to say Dr Kramer was sporty, 859 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,640 Speaker 1: because she was always very athletic, and I do, I 860 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,720 Speaker 1: do vaguely remember that. And I can't, for the life 861 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 1: of me remember that third girl. Oh my god, watch 862 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 1: their like Elizabeth Olsen or something. Yeah, a superstar. Honestly, 863 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 1: it's so crazy that that she went on to real 864 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: John aus Off marrying and doctor success. She did, I 865 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: and also John he because then from elementary school we 866 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 1: all continued through the same We switched from that elementary 867 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 1: school to a different one, and then all went to 868 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: junior high and high school together. I don't mean to 869 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,920 Speaker 1: put the senator's business out in the streets, but no, 870 00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 1: do it. We've all seen those all musical theater videosm 871 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 1: not much left to hide after that. Dr Kramer and 872 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: I actually were first and second chair cello cello in 873 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 1: the orchestra together while their romance was beginning, and so 874 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 1: literally while we were like playing cello together, I was 875 00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: getting the tea about this hot upper classman that she 876 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,839 Speaker 1: was dating and who was named Jonathan at the time, 877 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: and he always sort of had like a senatorial air 878 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: to him, you know, he was always very and then 879 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,480 Speaker 1: he went off to Um he's actually connected to my 880 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: my professional trajectory weirdly, and that he went off to 881 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:38,400 Speaker 1: Georgetown and was in an acapella group there, the Georgetown Chimes, 882 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,760 Speaker 1: and you were acapella boy and at Dartmouth. At Dartmouth 883 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: because I was I decided to go into acapella. I 884 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: kind of probably was always going to do acapella. I've 885 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: always had acapella energy. But part of the reason why 886 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 1: I decided to do it is because he brought the 887 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,839 Speaker 1: Chimes back to Atlanta to our school, Paideia, and they 888 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 1: taught us all these songs. So I randomly know all 889 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 1: these Georgetown fight songs, Um my God. And then I 890 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: decided to go off to Dartmouth and join the Dartmouth 891 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 1: Airs and then the Airs, bringing it all the way 892 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: back around to reality television show. We competed on the 893 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: sing off Oh my God, you did not We were 894 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 1: runners up to pentaton What I forget? That's where Pedatonics comes. 895 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 1: And so that was my like introduction to Los Angeles. 896 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,640 Speaker 1: It was my first time working on a lot we 897 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 1: shot on the Sony lot right down the street in 898 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,240 Speaker 1: Culver City, and it was Yeah. So then I guess 899 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: I owe the Senator in my career. Wait, this is 900 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 1: a wild little that is connect. Isn't that great? That's great? 901 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 1: But I have one thing. You were about to say 902 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,880 Speaker 1: something about Elizabeth Olson. I thought when you said Elizabeth Olson, 903 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 1: I thought you meant Elizabeth Holmes. And so I was 904 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: about to make a joke that she went off to 905 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 1: commit fraud. And that's why I was distancing myself from 906 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,040 Speaker 1: her because of that. They because of the of course, 907 00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 1: of course, um, I think we still have to talk 908 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:11,360 Speaker 1: about spice girls for a second. I think there's endless 909 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 1: there's endless conversations to be had about the impact. Were 910 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 1: we kids? Where we all kids who like red liner notes? 911 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,480 Speaker 1: I like nothing had like captured me in such a way. Well, 912 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 1: first of all, I want to say, Clark, I watched 913 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: the naked performance as a child around that same age, 914 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: and I was I was not showbiz savvy enough to 915 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: be like that's fake. I was like, they're actually naked. 916 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 1: The boobs, their boobs are, their breasts are touching the chair. 917 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: They were certainly in a believable state of undressed by one. 918 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 1: I would not shame yourself for that one. There was 919 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 1: movie magic happening, and the movie magic is some of 920 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 1: the most powerful magic. It's it's chaos. It's chaos magic 921 00:54:53,640 --> 00:55:01,280 Speaker 1: one chaos true that makes you which or the Ginger 922 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,760 Speaker 1: spice if you understand sort of comparison Ginger is Wanda. 923 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 1: Was she the leader? Was she the leader? Let's just 924 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 1: let's decide it? And did they end after she left? 925 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 1: It was that it was really that was breaking first 926 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:24,319 Speaker 1: sort of understanding of mortality in a way or or 927 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 1: something being finite. Yes, exactly. The good times don't last forever. 928 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,759 Speaker 1: They don't. They don't, they really don't. It felt like 929 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 1: it would. And also the fact that it was a 930 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: choice and such a conscious choice made me feel a 931 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: little bit betrayed, you know. And that was sort of 932 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 1: my um introduction to heartbreak in a way. Absolutely, I 933 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: I that actually tracks so so neatly. I was heartbroken, heartbroken, 934 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,279 Speaker 1: not easy. And it really was this thing of like 935 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: when like you know, goodbye or forever came out, I 936 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is this is my first real 937 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: understanding up close of what like thinking like, no, it's 938 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: not the same it's not the same. Something is lost, 939 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: something is lost here. And to answer Math's question, was 940 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,799 Speaker 1: Ginger the leader? I don't think she was. My My 941 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,760 Speaker 1: relationship at the time with the Spicycles was that it's beautiful, 942 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,719 Speaker 1: it's a group, it's girl power. It's all five of 943 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,359 Speaker 1: them being on the same level, same footing, not vocally even, 944 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: but somehow they're each essential. And it kind of still 945 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 1: affirms the fact that once Ginger left, it still didn't 946 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 1: hold up. You know, it's it's exactly what you're saying. 947 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,799 Speaker 1: It's like because there wasn't a leader, and like it 948 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,879 Speaker 1: felt like a limb was missing and the thing could 949 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,080 Speaker 1: not perform at the same poin like that it was 950 00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: just all about the five of them member that when 951 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: they were saying feminism before everyone else, like in a 952 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 1: mainstream why like and that was her, that was like 953 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 1: her thing. She was the worry of the union, Jack, 954 00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like she was so much 955 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 1: of the visual identity of the group that for her 956 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 1: to leave. I think that's why I asked was she 957 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:08,160 Speaker 1: the leader? Because she is so strongly identifiable, like the 958 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,800 Speaker 1: why she sang that was Reale sangang you know what 959 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean? With my nose went on. But you know 960 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like she was, Yeah, she was so 961 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 1: visually and sonically what that group was. That's why I 962 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: think she gets confused as being the leader sometime. She 963 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: was just so much a part of it as anyone else. 964 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 1: There's a really great video on YouTube. I want to say. 965 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 1: It's a Vogue interview with Jerry where she's slipping through 966 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: her looks yes, yes, and she talks about the dress. 967 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 1: She talks about the creation of the Union Jack dress 968 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 1: and basically how it was an accident and sort of 969 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 1: puts interesting context to what was obviously an insane I mean, 970 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 1: it was only a year. It was only right, like 971 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: one year maybe almost two was the entire experience of 972 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 1: this Spice girls, like two or three nine. Yeah, it 973 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 1: was hard and fast, it was, and that in looking 974 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 1: back on that especially, you know, time obviously was processed 975 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: differently by us than being six and seven, um, than now. 976 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 1: But it felt like forever. It did not feel like 977 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 1: one year. It felt like ten. I just think about like, 978 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,600 Speaker 1: especially in the context of like saying culture is for me, 979 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 1: or wanting to be a contributor to it or being 980 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 1: a part of it. It speaks to the overwhelming element 981 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: of a public life, of fame of any kind, of 982 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 1: notoriety of any kind. And how do you how do 983 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 1: you surf the wave when it's a tsunami? You know? 984 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: And yet they were pulling out every single moment in 985 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,400 Speaker 1: that full year and a half two years was and 986 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 1: I hate to use this word because it's so overused, 987 00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: but it was an iconic moment. The dress, the shoes, 988 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: the hair looks, the songs, the movie Ubiquity, the album 989 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 1: that they recorded while they were shooting the movie, you know, 990 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: like it was just and to quote the Iceberg, um, 991 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 1: what was it, twelve songs, no skips, was a banger. 992 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:22,760 Speaker 1: Everything they released was amazing and upon a man, not 993 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: a bull. And then the iconic fun said do what 994 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 1: I know? You guys, if you saw me, you would 995 00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 1: understand it was gorgeous. But you're right, Clark, mother just 996 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 1: gave me a dirty look. They achieved a kind of 997 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:47,440 Speaker 1: fame that distorted time because we brought up the same 998 00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 1: idea when we talked about Brittany after after after the 999 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 1: Brittany dot came out. But Brittany's whole ascension was like 1000 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 1: in like a three or four year span too, not 1001 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 1: three or four years, but like up until like Blackout, 1002 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 1: when things just sort of like reached a hilt. It 1003 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 1: was like what or two six four or five six seven. 1004 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: I can't even do the math right now, you know 1005 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying a short amount of time. She had 1006 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 1: been around for like six years, and then she needed 1007 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: like a major reinvention. Like in the Zone was like 1008 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 1: what I think they would consider it a major reinvention 1009 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 1: for her, Like because she did the first three albums, 1010 01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 1: it was like maybe a one more time, oops, I 1011 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: did it again, Brittany. But she had those three albums 1012 01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 1: and then she needed to go away for like what 1013 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 1: was an unheard of at the time, like eight months 1014 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 1: to go prepare a different identity. And it was in 1015 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 1: the Zone, which I which which then came out and 1016 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 1: like was like a major change for her. But that 1017 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 1: the fact that that needed to happen because she it 1018 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 1: was so much in succession. Yeah, it's like that ubiquity 1019 01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:56,760 Speaker 1: we were talking about. But for the Spice Girls, it 1020 01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 1: was like it felt like a full textured career only 1021 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 1: lasted to three years. Yes, insane and also at the 1022 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 1: time it being like again like we talked about like 1023 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 1: they were truly famous. Everyone knew who they were, and 1024 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: nowadays it's like, you know, people are upset that this 1025 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,360 Speaker 1: is like happening now with Little Mix. Like Little Mix, 1026 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,200 Speaker 1: their fame has been spread out for literally ten years. 1027 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: They've they've they've it's been like a decade since they 1028 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 1: did The X Factor in the UK. Yeah, they're a 1029 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 1: huge band, but they actually stuck around for way longer, 1030 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: and like they're the most quote unquote successful girl group 1031 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 1: in the world, like and guaranteed, Like I would go 1032 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: as far as say, seven out of ten people in 1033 01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 1: America might not even know who they are. Whereas the 1034 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Spice Girls, it was like if you didn't know who 1035 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 1: they were, you must have been dead darling. They were 1036 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,040 Speaker 1: compared to. I mean, they're disdainfully so, because you know, 1037 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 1: the Beatles whole are such health in high regard, but 1038 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 1: but they were heard to that level of fame and 1039 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 1: that sort of insanity. Um. I also we were also 1040 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 1: the target demographic for it, But but it did seem 1041 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 1: like beyond that there were people who at least were 1042 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 1: aware you couldn't escape it. They were everywhere, right, favorite 1043 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 1: Spice Girls song I was going to say, rank them, 1044 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 1: rank the songs. Rank the girls, Rank the girls. Oh 1045 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: my god, I can rank the girls. I can't rank 1046 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 1: the songs. Well, I will give us rank the girls first, 1047 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 1: and then top three, Top three songs. Number one is, 1048 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:41,200 Speaker 1: of course Baby, because of and because I will always 1049 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,959 Speaker 1: have a you know, she started my career. I owe 1050 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 1: my career to her. She really Baby Spice and John also, um, 1051 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: and I guess Scary, I will say, you know, in 1052 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 1: the context of identity and race, some of the things 1053 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: that I talked about in my podcast, I did have 1054 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of the like, you're the black person, 1055 01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: so you have to be scary, of course, and so 1056 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,520 Speaker 1: I sort of brushed up against that a lot when 1057 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: I was younger, and I think I overcorrected when I 1058 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 1: was younger in not wanting to identify with scary only 1059 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 1: because of our race. But I think now she is 1060 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 1: definitely up there. Of course, Jerry.

But I think we did the text 1151 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 1: as written. I mean, we love the call to condom 1152 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,320 Speaker 1: use in that song be a little bit wiser, Baby 1153 01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,479 Speaker 1: put it on, Put it on. That was maybe I 1154 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 1: think Baby's most iconic moment when she would sing the 1155 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 1: pre choruses and so yeah. But that that music video 1156 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 1: is New York culture because it was. It wasn't the 1157 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,840 Speaker 1: first time I was like seeing like besides like troll 1158 01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 1: and Central Park or whatever, um it was, it was 1159 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,800 Speaker 1: like these beautiful shots of Times Square and the Twin 1160 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: Towers and like the Brooklyn I was like, this is 1161 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 1: I was like whatever, Like that place seems like the 1162 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 1: most beautiful place in the world. And it made me 1163 01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 1: like and it and it is really honey New York. 1164 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra, eat your heart out. The quintessential New York 1165 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: musical moment is to become fucking posh spice. I don't 1166 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,800 Speaker 1: know if it's post or scary, but by the courthouse, 1167 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 1: just like city not even city Hall, the courthouse. At 1168 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,920 Speaker 1: the Courthouse honestly a very good video. They had good 1169 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 1: videos to videos. Great, what's what's the sale be there? 1170 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 1: That was like pretty iconic because the Wannabe was like 1171 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,240 Speaker 1: as a as a music video, it is iconic, but 1172 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,200 Speaker 1: you can tell what this is when they had no budget, 1173 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 1: and then after that sound was a huge smash, Like 1174 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 1: then they got a budget and we're gonna go to 1175 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,519 Speaker 1: the desert. They say they were going to say, we 1176 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,360 Speaker 1: could pay for a truck now to take the girls 1177 01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,439 Speaker 1: out to the desert. We can pay for a twelve 1178 01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,200 Speaker 1: pack of water bottles for the girls. We got a 1179 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 1: water budget. We got a water budget. So then number 1180 01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 1: two close upon his naked of it's like they're basically tied. 1181 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,920 Speaker 1: But the only reason why to become one is higher 1182 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 1: is because because I perform it at weddings when not asked. 1183 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: And then last is want to be and and specifically 1184 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,960 Speaker 1: the video and they're in the house and they're up 1185 01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 1: and down the stairs and they're right in the camera. 1186 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 1: It's a hotel in London that I think you can 1187 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 1: go with.

See, 1192 01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:42,960 Speaker 1: I think I like the chaos of it, especially because 1193 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,320 Speaker 1: like they didn't really have a bigger song after that. 1194 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 1: I felt like they gave you everything and that one 1195 01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,080 Speaker 1: big last song. But you know, it is a little one. 1196 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:56,439 Speaker 1: Once you got into the I I was like, whatever 1197 01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,719 Speaker 1: is happening there?

There's value to it, of course, but 1200 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,800 Speaker 1: I would even Yes, this was not as big of 1201 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,599 Speaker 1: a hit as as the other stuff, but I'm I'm 1202 01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:19,040 Speaker 1: sooner listening to holler off of Forever Hollow, excellent song 1203 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 1: at the song just the four of them wonderful.

It was that for a while. It was 1208 01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 1: dyinga it was the Supremes, and then when that song 1209 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:44,680 Speaker 1: came like maybe stop in the name of it, but 1210 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:49,320 Speaker 1: then stop came out and everyone would break into the 1211 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 1: song if they if the words stopped managed to make 1212 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,519 Speaker 1: it into the conversation it was on the nineties were 1213 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 1: a crazy time, truly.

For me, it's the reveal sort of in 1224 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,960 Speaker 1: like a doctor who tardest way that the inside of 1225 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,400 Speaker 1: the bus is bigger than the outside when they walk 1226 01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:45,799 Speaker 1: in and somehow magically they walk into a studio set 1227 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,720 Speaker 1: the sound stage that is somehow also on wheels and 1228 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:53,720 Speaker 1: a double decker busy. Yes, beautiful things. I really bought it. 1229 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,960 Speaker 1: I thought it was real and I was an idiot. 1230 01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,880 Speaker 1: It's like me with a naked performance. I'm like, it 1231 01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 1: was exactly like that. And that's what made us sisters 1232 01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:04,720 Speaker 1: at a very young age. We were both idiots and 1233 01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,920 Speaker 1: destined to be friends. I think I've said in the past, 1234 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,639 Speaker 1: because it is not available just to watch anywhere, I've 1235 01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 1: only seen it one or two times. Oh bo, and 1236 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 1: it would be your favorite film, it would be another film. 1237 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,040 Speaker 1: But the moment that stands out to me that's just 1238 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,880 Speaker 1: screamed at me and the most beautiful way, at the 1239 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 1: most beautiful frequency as a child was when Elton John 1240 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 1: shows up out of nowhere and they all freak out 1241 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,360 Speaker 1: and they're like Elton and I'm like, and that was 1242 01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,800 Speaker 1: the moment where I was like, these girls are so powerful. 1243 01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,000 Speaker 1: I was like, these girls know Elton John, they are 1244 01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:40,320 Speaker 1: so powerful, and I will do I will, I will, 1245 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 1: I will do whatever they say. And so that's the moment. 1246 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 1: It was a flex that's that's neither a communic nor 1247 01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 1: dramatic moment, but it was a moment that really was 1248 01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:51,559 Speaker 1: like it was it was. It was like a moment 1249 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 1: of crossover culture. It was a moment of like pre Avengers, 1250 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:59,799 Speaker 1: pre Kingdom Hearts, l O l pre whatever, me being like, wow, 1251 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: worlds can collide. I mean, these are real people, but 1252 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 1: in terms of that movie being the container for them 1253 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 1: to cross paths, I go, oh my god, this I've 1254 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,840 Speaker 1: never seen anything like this. My favorite moment in the 1255 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 1: film is famously when they are doing the obstacle course 1256 01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,679 Speaker 1: and the four of them are going through the opposite 1257 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,040 Speaker 1: course and you just see like all of a sudden, 1258 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,800 Speaker 1: Victoria Beckham just walking Victoria Adams at the time, posh 1259 01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,680 Speaker 1: By is just walking around the opposite course in her 1260 01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,680 Speaker 1: heels and this is what she's going to do for 1261 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,760 Speaker 1: the opposal course. She's not going to do it. She 1262 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,599 Speaker 1: just struts alongside while the other girls like do it. 1263 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,800 Speaker 1: It's so funny. It's hilarious. And then there's another scene 1264 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 1: later where they're in the hospital and they're waiting for 1265 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,960 Speaker 1: their friends to give birth, which is like the plot 1266 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:48,960 Speaker 1: of the movie, like they're fresh giving birth. I have 1267 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: to do a concert, but they want to be there 1268 01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:55,679 Speaker 1: for her, so like they're on the hospital and Jerry 1269 01:15:55,960 --> 01:16:00,800 Speaker 1: Jerry goes, I spy with my little eyes something blue 1270 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 1: and this is one of them goes hospital.

But it 1288 01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:13,680 Speaker 1: is a is an exclusive behind the scene, again specifically 1289 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 1: curated for the readers when we were shooting the film, 1290 01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,640 Speaker 1: um which we don't need to know. I can just 1291 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,760 Speaker 1: call it the film the film. So my scene, the 1292 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 1: big Principles office scene, right the two of us were 1293 01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,439 Speaker 1: sitting there. I get my moment, I get my like, 1294 01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:36,080 Speaker 1: this is us, let me tell you a story monologue moment. 1295 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,920 Speaker 1: Greg Berlante, our director, at the end, we did a 1296 01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 1: couple of takes of it, and he was like, I 1297 01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,559 Speaker 1: want you to, like sort of, you know, feel free 1298 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,600 Speaker 1: to add anything. And you want, you know, if you 1299 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,479 Speaker 1: want to improv something, if you want to add like 1300 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,800 Speaker 1: a button, or if you want to add whatever. And 1301 01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, what could I possibly add? So 1302 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 1: then the next time we did the I think after 1303 01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 1: like take two were three. At the end of the monologue, 1304 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:07,759 Speaker 1: right before we're called into the office, I looked at 1305 01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 1: Nick Robinson and I said these words, which were unfortunately 1306 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 1: cut from the film. I said, welcome to the Sisterhood. Ah. 1307 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 1: They cut it. They cut and I said it a 1308 01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,040 Speaker 1: million times. We did it in a bunch of takes, 1309 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 1: and and there were other pieces that were cut as well. 1310 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:30,479 Speaker 1: And I totally also get that it might not have 1311 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: been the right vibe for the Like, whatever they did, 1312 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 1: I think they did a great job. I wanted to 1313 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,679 Speaker 1: share it with with y'all and with the readers, because 1314 01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,439 Speaker 1: I feel like it was one of those like behind 1315 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 1: the scenes little tidbits that maybe can make the experience, 1316 01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,320 Speaker 1: uh just a little bit more special for any of 1317 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: the true heads. You know, everyone doesn't need to welcome 1318 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 1: to the Sisterhood moment, but for my sisters, for my community. 1319 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 1: Um I tried to shoehorn welcome to the Sisterhood in 1320 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 1: and um I knew y'a would appreciate that, so we do. 1321 01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 1: And you know, I actually like when Love Simon came out. 1322 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 1: I think a lot of queer people were being a 1323 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,200 Speaker 1: little hard on it because like it was this very commercial, 1324 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 1: like very much trying to be a movie about a 1325 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:21,320 Speaker 1: gay kid for straight people. And I think that that's okay, 1326 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:23,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I would rather see 1327 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:27,160 Speaker 1: that than the millionth version of you know, Paper Kites 1328 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,639 Speaker 1: or whatever the hell it is, like whatever, like whatever 1329 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,559 Speaker 1: movie that would get that budget. Like I'm happy there's 1330 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 1: a Love Simon, you know what I mean? Like of course, 1331 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,960 Speaker 1: like is it extremely white, yes, Like is it extreme? 1332 01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:42,760 Speaker 1: Is it very much about someone with a lot of privilege? Yes, 1333 01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,679 Speaker 1: it does not strip that None of those things stripped 1334 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,360 Speaker 1: it of its value in a way, right, and I 1335 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,640 Speaker 1: so I think, like, um, it's it's fucking great that 1336 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 1: you that you said that. Am I surprised they cut it, no, 1337 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:57,799 Speaker 1: because I think that probably they were trying to juggle 1338 01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 1: things in their head about how the straight audience that 1339 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 1: was watching it we would respond to something like welcome 1340 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 1: to the sisterhood, like because that that line is going 1341 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,840 Speaker 1: to make some dad and the audience say, oh, so 1342 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:11,920 Speaker 1: it's what I thought. He's a woman now, you know 1343 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, and it's just like just to 1344 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:17,680 Speaker 1: walk people through that, Like, I get why they cut it, 1345 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:20,880 Speaker 1: but I also understand and appreciate that you said it. 1346 01:20:21,040 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 1: That's like and thank you for telling us.

There's not 1372 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 1: one good person on that. Some people were like, oh, 1373 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 1: some of the girls are good, and I was watching 1374 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,960 Speaker 1: it and I'm like, yeah, I get that there's good 1375 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: singing happening, but like, where is the star quality on 1376 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,599 Speaker 1: this program?

Also, they have them perform right 1383 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,280 Speaker 1: after they figured out they made it into the finals, 1384 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,240 Speaker 1: and so it's like they're so shaky and freaked out 1385 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 1: because they just found out they made it, and they 1386 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,800 Speaker 1: sound pitchy.

I think 1411 01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 1: who are just used to go how good Rose is? 1412 01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:37,560 Speaker 1: Are being hard on Rose.

This is the biggest 1447 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,760 Speaker 1: cast the show has ever had. It's crazy, it's weird 1448 01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 1: to navigate. Everyone is doing their best. Everyone is so 1449 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,400 Speaker 1: un goodly talented in ways that no one in the 1450 01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:39,960 Speaker 1: audience can begin to understand. Internally, this is the vibe. 1451 01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 1: We are all acknowledging each other's work, ethic and humor 1452 01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:48,440 Speaker 1: and different points of view and sensibilities, and it's a beautiful, 1453 01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:52,720 Speaker 1: beautiful coexistence, and we all appreciate each other. And this 1454 01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 1: is a I can't believe this season of television that 1455 01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,200 Speaker 1: I have weirdly been a part of coincidentally, I like, 1456 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,880 Speaker 1: how the fund did we get through this season? We're 1457 01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 1: all doing our best, and we are all so so 1458 01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 1: fucking funny that it's crazy to me to even suggest 1459 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,200 Speaker 1: that it's an individual thing and not a collective thing 1460 01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:15,759 Speaker 1: that like me, the quality of the show is slightly 1461 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,120 Speaker 1: different than it was in the past, or it's goofy, 1462 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm totally running the clock at this point, 1463 01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:23,439 Speaker 1: but it's like it really bugs me with like bow 1464 01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: and bow and yes, I'm I'm using myself as an 1465 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,640 Speaker 1: example because I've just been inundated with a little bit 1466 01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:32,600 Speaker 1: too much positive feedback. But I'm just like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 1467 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,599 Speaker 1: you guys don't get it. This is like like every 1468 01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,320 Speaker 1: single person on this show right now is is so 1469 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:43,559 Speaker 1: fucking good at this. That's all. It takes a village 1470 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: to that's all. And I don't I don't mean to 1471 01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 1: like signal anything beyond on a meta level of like 1472 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm what, I truly believe this in my heart, I 1473 01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:56,680 Speaker 1: go wow, like I can't believe what goes on at 1474 01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,439 Speaker 1: the show, like and the heartbreak that goes into like 1475 01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:02,880 Speaker 1: the creative process when things like dope come to term 1476 01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm just like, y'all, like, it's not as 1477 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:09,040 Speaker 1: it's not quite as like it's survivorship by it's it's 1478 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:10,720 Speaker 1: like you're only seeing the stuff that makes it onto 1479 01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 1: the show. You're not seeing the stuff that didn't make it. 1480 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:18,960 Speaker 1: That like is just as I don't know, great wonderful 1481 01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: funny anyway, I think that's just a way that people, Um, 1482 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:29,599 Speaker 1: that's one mode of people expressing themselves is too sort 1483 01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: of like in lifting one thing up put down another thing. 1484 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I know what happens, so it's like it's 1485 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 1: but I also think, like it's what you're saying is 1486 01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 1: true that like, but it feels zero sum. It feels 1487 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 1: like what now just yeah yeah. But but also like 1488 01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,080 Speaker 1: at the very heart of that is everyone being very 1489 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 1: proud of you and excited for you that you've done 1490 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,680 Speaker 1: so well. But also you're right, it's I appreciate that 1491 01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,599 Speaker 1: that piece and all the pieces don't get made without 1492 01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,040 Speaker 1: like a million people were in their sucking ass off 1493 01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,840 Speaker 1: on it, especially at that show where it's like literally 1494 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,680 Speaker 1: all hands on deck, you know what I mean. It 1495 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,439 Speaker 1: must feel a little weird to get a feedback that's 1496 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,280 Speaker 1: like if it wasn't for this person, and I wouldn't watch. 1497 01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:16,160 Speaker 1: It's just this is crazy. It's like it's it's it's 1498 01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 1: weird and like and and and it's it's a show 1499 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 1: that engenders a lot of strong opinions because people have 1500 01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:25,599 Speaker 1: associations with it, whether they're very emotional or whether they're 1501 01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,120 Speaker 1: like disillusioned by it. And like, I totally get the 1502 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 1: crowd of people out there who are like sl sucks 1503 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 1: and hasn't been funny. I'm just like, yeah, great in 1504 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,160 Speaker 1: terms of like, but in terms of a form of 1505 01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:41,720 Speaker 1: praise being packaged in like this person is exceptional in 1506 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 1: this way. I'm like, there's it's not the exception though. 1507 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:49,000 Speaker 1: The rule. The rule is that the people who are 1508 01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:53,240 Speaker 1: on that show have some reason to be there, you know, 1509 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 1: like have some like have proven something by virtue of 1510 01:29:57,880 --> 01:29:59,720 Speaker 1: just being on the show. It's just am I am 1511 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,120 Speaker 1: I like out of line. I don't think it's so crazy. 1512 01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,880 Speaker 1: And I also think this speaks to what I feel, 1513 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:09,920 Speaker 1: what I've always felt in terms of like receiving feedback 1514 01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:14,000 Speaker 1: either positive or negative. It's like, especially the negative, I 1515 01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,280 Speaker 1: feel like we're taught how to deal with we're taught 1516 01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,719 Speaker 1: to ignore the comments were talked to, you know, process 1517 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,519 Speaker 1: it in whatever way. But the positive can be even 1518 01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 1: more overwhelming because what do you do with it? And 1519 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,479 Speaker 1: and then because if there's so much of it, or 1520 01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:31,760 Speaker 1: if it's also in a specific way, like how do 1521 01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,640 Speaker 1: you process that? Is it real? You know, if the 1522 01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 1: bad wasn't real, then how can the good be? Really? 1523 01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:41,559 Speaker 1: My mind goes on this on this whole journey as well. Yeah, yeah, 1524 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure I can't imagine. Yeah, And it's also very 1525 01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:47,000 Speaker 1: good to be conscious of ego, you know what I mean, 1526 01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 1: because it's like, that's that's really I think where it 1527 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,920 Speaker 1: gets tripped up is because like what if you were 1528 01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,479 Speaker 1: to believe one day that you were the only person 1529 01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: to make the show run? Like that's crazy. So basically 1530 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,960 Speaker 1: it's just like, you know, it's it's it's all. And 1531 01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:04,280 Speaker 1: that's another reason. It's another it's another argument for getting 1532 01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:07,200 Speaker 1: literally offline. And I have to say, I activate on 1533 01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,680 Speaker 1: my Twitter again today. Well do you wanna what I 1534 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 1: did this time? So all the other times they got 1535 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:14,120 Speaker 1: off Twitter, I deactivated it but kept the window open 1536 01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:16,840 Speaker 1: for twelve months. This time I did it for thirty days. 1537 01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think this is it. I think this 1538 01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:22,479 Speaker 1: is the last this is the last leg um commitment. 1539 01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 1: Yes commitment. I just but I just want to like 1540 01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,040 Speaker 1: just just just um compound what you guys are saying, 1541 01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,439 Speaker 1: which is like the the the the oversimplified way that 1542 01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:32,880 Speaker 1: I can think of this now is that like you 1543 01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:37,280 Speaker 1: have to examine question whatever the positive on the same 1544 01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: with the same scrutiny that you would with the negative. 1545 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,600 Speaker 1: The best advice I've ever gotten was from one of 1546 01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:45,280 Speaker 1: the producers on the thing off right towards the end, 1547 01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:48,800 Speaker 1: as she was like, your career is going to go well, 1548 01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:52,679 Speaker 1: you are, you are going in a really positive direction. 1549 01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:55,680 Speaker 1: I believe in you. And she said the advice that 1550 01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 1: I will give you is they are never you are 1551 01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:03,800 Speaker 1: never as good or as bad as That is how 1552 01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:06,639 Speaker 1: I process all of it because because yeah, the good 1553 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 1: can be really overwhelming. And also the other thing too 1554 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:12,599 Speaker 1: is like a lot of people when they say something, 1555 01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 1: they say in a moment, they're not all the time, 1556 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:17,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like it's something 1557 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 1: I also think that can happen with social media is 1558 01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 1: like you know, someone tosses off a mean or positive 1559 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:27,840 Speaker 1: comment and you think that person is obsessed with me. No, 1560 01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:31,880 Speaker 1: they said it in a second. It's a fleeting thought 1561 01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 1: that like is it is now like sort of written 1562 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,960 Speaker 1: in ink Mark Zuckerberg. Um, but yeah, anyway, um social 1563 01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:45,080 Speaker 1: network quote anyway, Oh my god, I got I got 1564 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,840 Speaker 1: a little Volney, I got it. I got real because 1565 01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:51,240 Speaker 1: it's fine and we love that anyway. So um, but 1566 01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:54,519 Speaker 1: it's because Clark is here. It's because Clark, Clark. Clark 1567 01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:59,160 Speaker 1: opens the floodgates of of of von the Clark effect. 1568 01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,519 Speaker 1: It's the Park effect. And right now we're going to 1569 01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:06,719 Speaker 1: actually experience the Clark effect in uh in rare form 1570 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:12,639 Speaker 1: as Clark endeavors to complete. And I don't think so, honey, Clark, 1571 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,800 Speaker 1: the moment is here.
