2:27
Hello, call it crude. Camilla
2:29
and I are devastated by
2:31
the fires and are heartbroken
2:33
by the tragedy and the
2:35
loss that Southern California is
2:37
currently experiencing. This episode was
2:40
recorded before the fires here
2:42
in Los Angeles and we
2:44
will be dedicating a future
2:46
episode to talk all about it.
2:48
Call it what it is with
2:50
Jessica Capshaw and Camille Lettington and
2:53
I Heart Radio podcast. Well,
3:02
hello, hello, hello, hello.
3:05
And welcome to another
3:07
episode of Call It What
3:09
It Is. You might have
3:12
noticed that I said hello,
3:14
hello, hello, hello, and welcome
3:16
to another episode of Call
3:19
It What It Is. Because today,
3:21
I am missing one half
3:23
of my heart, the peanut
3:26
butter to my jelly, the lemon
3:28
to my lime, the... Camilla
3:30
Lettington. She would love that
3:32
I said that and then
3:34
she'd probably toss me a
3:36
fake insult. But anyways, today
3:39
it is just me, or
3:41
rather you get all of
3:43
me, on a very special
3:45
episode with the one and
3:47
only Brooke Shields. Brooke Shields
3:49
is, honestly, I don't know
3:51
that you could relegate one
3:53
job title to Brooke Shields.
3:55
She's got lots. I feel
3:57
like I first came to
3:59
know her. printed image is her
4:01
in those sweet ass tight Calvin
4:03
Klein jeans on some giant billboard
4:05
somewhere with her hair blowing in
4:07
the wind and that gorgeous face
4:09
and those shiny eyes and that
4:11
bold brow and just all of
4:14
it was extra extra extra. Fantastic.
4:16
I feel like I first saw
4:18
her. And then I remember being
4:20
new to the business and looking
4:22
up to her and seeing her
4:24
around town and she was always
4:26
so kind and lovely. And then
4:28
I've continued to run into her
4:30
and have marveled and watched her
4:32
weave her way through many, many
4:34
different... jobs. She most recently can
4:36
be seen on and around town.
4:38
By the way, in a bikini,
4:40
flanked by her two gorgeous daughters,
4:42
who are now in college and
4:44
after, she has started an inspirational
4:46
community for women called Beginning is
4:48
Now, that is transitioning into commence,
4:50
and basically just on the forefront
4:52
of all the things that I
4:54
find myself wanting to talk about
4:56
as well. So please, welcome Brooke
4:58
Shields. Well, first of all, I'm
5:00
so bummed because my partner in
5:02
crime, Camilla, got like a, like,
5:04
she's a real doctor or something,
5:06
got called into work at Gray's
5:08
Anatomy, so she's not here with
5:10
us today. And then I said,
5:12
well, I gotta say, since I,
5:15
since I know, Brooke, it's really
5:17
her loss. And there's just more
5:19
of you for me to have.
5:21
We can handle this, we can
5:23
totally handle it. We can talk
5:25
and talk. Well, I was going
5:27
to start with no matter who
5:29
was on who was on. I
5:31
have a very, for some reason,
5:33
there's like these memories of certain
5:35
people that just get crystallized and
5:37
cemented in my brain. And I
5:39
have this memory of, I don't
5:41
know, I mean, being sort of
5:43
feeling still new and certainly not
5:45
established on any level and going
5:47
to one of those parties in
5:49
Beverly Hill. at the new Prada
5:51
store, where, you know, we'd all
5:53
dressed up and we'd been sent
5:55
clothes and while it seems like
5:57
it's glamorous, there's something super insecure
5:59
about it. You're like, am I
6:01
wearing the right thing? Does this
6:03
even look good? Who am I?
6:05
existential crises happen on the way
6:07
there, all of it. But I
6:09
remember getting there, and there's so
6:11
many people there, and it was
6:13
a really fabulous party. And I
6:16
came around a corner and I
6:18
saw you and you were definitely
6:20
in the middle of doing something
6:22
important, right? Like you were, there
6:24
was photos being taken or whatever,
6:26
but you turned around and when
6:28
your eyes met mine you just
6:30
smiled and it was just like
6:32
the warmest ray of light and
6:34
it was like an eyeball hug.
6:36
It was like, and I don't
6:38
know, I don't know how to
6:40
like, I'm clearly making a mountain
6:42
out of this, but for whatever
6:44
reason, that eyeball hug meant some
6:46
sort of confirmation of belonging for
6:48
me at this party. Well, I
6:50
think, you know, I do remember
6:52
that. And it's so funny. You
6:54
say I was in the middle
6:56
of doing something important, like getting
6:58
my picture taken, which is very
7:00
important. Oh, I shouldn't have picked
7:02
this dress. This is a stupid
7:04
dress to pick. This is so
7:06
not like chic. It's just too
7:08
like colorful and patterny, but that
7:10
was the theme because they projected
7:12
all the patterns on the wall.
7:14
It was like the larger than
7:17
life thing. And, you know, I
7:19
also am so honestly a fan
7:21
of people that I'm a fan
7:23
of. that I watch. Like, I'm
7:25
a person who if you come
7:27
into my living room in any
7:29
capacity, I too feel like I
7:31
know you and I know you
7:33
and I take it all very
7:35
personally and like people do. And
7:37
I remember, you know, just going
7:39
like, oh, okay, she's here like,
7:41
okay, this is really cool and
7:43
I don't really really know her
7:45
but but Okay, she looked beautiful
7:47
and I'm here and why not
7:49
just like have fun with it?
7:51
Like it just, I think it
7:53
just normalized it all in a
7:55
moment because we did make eye
7:57
contact. And normally when you go
7:59
into those places, people are like
8:01
this. Yeah, yeah, and they're checking
8:03
out somebody else and nobody's looking
8:05
at like if they shake your
8:07
hand, they're like looking at who's
8:09
more famous over there and yeah.
8:11
you know, and it's like a
8:13
shell. It is, but you know
8:15
what, you bring up something that
8:18
I think is actually, I just
8:20
think you're in such a unique
8:22
position of, I'm gonna even, I'm
8:24
gonna use the W word, I
8:26
feel like you're gonna have some
8:28
wisdom on this, which is, we
8:30
talk a lot because we have
8:32
people write in and call in
8:34
and we sort of, we're like,
8:36
you know, we think we can
8:38
give everyone, you know, we think
8:40
we at least have some kind
8:42
of answer, self-doubt. And so you
8:44
brought up like, oh, the first
8:46
thing that came to mind, like
8:48
top of mine was like, my
8:50
dress is stupid, right? Like I'm
8:52
not wearing the right thing. And
8:54
it's funny because we just heard
8:56
Dimmy Moore talk about this in
8:58
her acceptance speech the other night
9:00
in the Golden Gomez where it's
9:02
like, there's always going to be
9:04
somebody. And sometimes it's you that
9:06
makes you feel not good enough.
9:08
Or like the dress you picked
9:10
was rod. Or a rod. or
9:12
not really deserving of being there.
9:14
Or, and I think that's the
9:17
plight of an actress or a
9:19
creative, you know, I, I've just
9:21
recently read this beautiful book on
9:23
Margaret Wise Brown, who wrote, runaway
9:25
bunny and Good Night Moon, and,
9:27
you know, and she was made
9:29
to feel less than because she
9:31
wasn't an adult writer. And she,
9:33
you know, she's one of the
9:35
most prolific children's book. writers and
9:37
one of the most poetic sort
9:39
of extraordinary minds and you you
9:41
watch her insecurity blossom in certain
9:43
points and you think like wow
9:45
this has been happening since the
9:47
dawn of time like is it
9:49
a right of passage what if
9:51
we don't get through it what
9:53
if we choose to stay in
9:55
that place of anxiety and insecurity
9:57
and self-doubt and like is that
9:59
fair for us and like you
10:01
kind of have to, at least
10:03
these conversations are now starting to
10:05
be had a little bit differently.
10:07
Yeah. When those conversations are happening,
10:09
do you find in those moments
10:11
of self-doubt, do you have,
10:14
are you figuring out what your
10:16
prescription is? Like, is it, is
10:18
it talking to yourself? Is it
10:20
phoning a friend? Is it, sometimes
10:22
it's, and I said this today,
10:24
to my older daughter, sometimes it's
10:26
as simple as saying, nope, nope,
10:28
nope. No, no, no, no, no,
10:30
no, and shift and go
10:32
like, puppies, my laundry and
10:34
you distract and then you
10:36
kind of like shift and
10:39
then I start usually thinking
10:41
of like, okay, you're 59
10:43
years old. Are you still going
10:45
to do this shit to yourself?
10:47
Are you still going to let
10:49
it take your time? Or are
10:52
you going to just say, okay,
10:54
that's a part of what happens
10:56
to me, but can I make it
10:58
fuel me to ask more questions
11:01
about what I want my future,
11:03
you know, I want this job. How
11:06
about I ask for that job or
11:08
how about I put myself out there?
11:10
How about I say, you know,
11:12
I'm going to say yes to
11:14
that because it's something that is
11:16
out of my comfort and I'm
11:19
going to learn. And then you.
11:21
you sort of make it a
11:23
little bit more proactive. And in
11:25
that period of time, when you
11:27
realize the world hasn't imploded because
11:29
you're wearing the wrong dress,
11:31
and that nobody really cares
11:33
what dress you're wearing because
11:36
they're worried about their own
11:38
outfit, you start to just go
11:40
like, oh, I want to release
11:42
myself from this because nothing is
11:44
coming out of it that is
11:46
productive. And sometimes there is
11:48
a productivity in feeling insecure
11:51
because it causes me at
11:53
times to take on things
11:55
that I'm afraid of, you know, so
11:57
you have to kind of be willing.
11:59
to be honest about what it
12:02
is. Okay, Golden Globes are a
12:04
perfect example, right? You know, the
12:06
way she was talking about her
12:08
trajectory, her history, and how riddled
12:11
with that, that, she was insecure,
12:13
right? Yeah. So I can look
12:15
at somebody like that, and I
12:18
can look at them as a
12:20
contemporary and say, yeah, I get
12:22
it. I get it. And you
12:24
know. I too want that validation,
12:27
but I'm not, but my not,
12:29
but her getting it tonight to
12:31
the last site, whatever, doesn't take
12:34
it away from me. Like when
12:36
you're young, you sort of think
12:38
there's a limited allotment. A fine
12:40
ass. Yeah. Yeah. That people are
12:43
allowed. And yes, there's certain roles
12:45
and we all don't get them
12:47
because I don't get them, whatever.
12:49
That's the nature. So many times,
12:52
Brooke. So many times. a majority
12:54
of my life. I know. Talk
12:56
about daughter talk. I say it
12:59
all the time, especially when those
13:01
daughters paint me with like, you're
13:03
perfect. I'm like, do you know
13:05
how much, do you know the
13:08
percentage of jobs I've actually gotten
13:10
to percentage of jobs I have
13:12
auditioned for? I've gotten to. I
13:14
mean, I might as well have
13:17
never gotten a job in my
13:19
life. I've never worked. Let's
13:27
call it what it is. Owning

so kind to my daughter, she gave
17:53
her the bracelet off her wrist. She
17:56
gave one not to my daughter's too.
17:58
like, this is for real? And like,
18:00
should I take it? And I was
18:02
like, yes, you should. And you should.
18:05
And you should say, thank you, ma'am.
18:07
Thank you. And you should give her
18:09
one of yours. Oh, no. She was
18:11
the initial offer. But I remember watching
18:14
the documentary, and again, who knows why
18:16
these things stick in her head, but
18:18
I remember when she was talking about
18:20
her relationship with food and when she
18:22
had a thorny one and when she
18:25
was not that was not sustainable, that
18:27
was not sustainable and that was not
18:29
literally nutritive. always fact-check me because sometimes
18:31
I remember things differently than they are,
18:34
but I remember her saying that her
18:36
mantra in those moments of self-doubt about
18:38
that particular issue was, we're not going
18:40
to do that. We're not going to
18:42
do that. We're not going to do
18:45
that anymore. We're just not going to
18:47
do that anymore. And I remember, I
18:49
mean, it's definitely for me reserved. I
18:51
think I had more of it younger,
18:54
but believe me, you me, I still
18:56
have a storage for it. I still
18:58
have a storage for it. Especially in
19:00
the moments of, you know, kind of
19:03
having to show up to something, being
19:05
on, you know, going into an audition
19:07
or something and catching a reflection of
19:09
myself in the window, you know, as
19:11
I walked away from my car. And
19:14
I remember being, the thoughts that went
19:16
through my mind were so unkind to
19:18
that reflection. And I remember being like,
19:20
what is going on? Why am I
19:23
being so unkind to myself? And it's
19:25
only making the self-doubt worse. It's not
19:27
setting me up for success. thinking a
19:29
different way in, if anyone spoke to,
19:31
if I spoke to anyone, the way
19:34
that I speak to myself, I would
19:36
have zero friends. And I have a
19:38
lot of friends. And I'm so grateful
19:40
for my friends. And I feel so
19:43
supported. So what if I treated myself
19:45
like I was my friend? And it
19:47
really did like that for me the
19:49
the self doubt exactly what you said
19:52
like the conversations with yourself Interrupting the
19:54
cycle saying nope like nope not on
19:56
my watch like you're not gonna fucking
19:58
say that to her Not on my
20:00
watch. You know, and what's interesting
20:03
is the two things
20:05
that you've just said,
20:07
you've kind of spoken
20:09
in third person, and
20:11
I think that that's
20:13
a really interesting psychology
20:15
that makes it easier for
20:18
us to take said mantra,
20:20
because if we go back
20:22
to our normal of our normal
20:24
tapes. And we say, I look
20:26
fat, I look fat, I look
20:29
stupid, I look old, I'm too
20:31
tall, I'm too short, I'm too
20:33
bad. It immediately goes right back
20:35
in. But if we say, no,
20:37
we're not going to do that,
20:40
we are 18 here and this
20:42
is a collective, like, and when
20:45
you say, I'm going to
20:47
speak to myself. You're creating
20:49
just enough distance so that our
20:51
psyche can make it less self-induced.
20:53
If you think about the way
20:56
the synapses work and the way
20:58
like the brain works, like that
21:00
stuff is so interesting to me
21:03
because That is what I think
21:05
is a really healthy way of
21:07
doing it. I mean, I had
21:09
something one time similar. It was,
21:12
I don't look in the mirror,
21:14
right? Like I refused to look
21:16
in the mirror for years and
21:19
years and years. Now I do.
21:21
But for years, I didn't, I
21:23
wouldn't, I wouldn't look in the
21:25
mirror. I wouldn't, like, and in
21:27
dance class, I would just fall
21:29
flat on my Coxixx and I
21:31
would be in such pain. And
21:33
then I was doing this movie.
21:35
be like walk in looking like
21:38
the Vavavum and kind
21:40
of sexy and sort
21:42
of like great but I
21:44
had to deliver some
21:46
tippet line of something
21:48
I don't know what it was
21:50
and I I was so out of
21:53
like my own periphery that
21:55
I didn't I was so unaware
21:57
of where I was coming
21:59
that repeatedly I kept running
22:01
into the wall. And it was
22:04
funny because it was like, oh,
22:06
look how clumsy she is. She
22:08
should probably be a comedian. Like,
22:11
oh, look how, yeah, you think
22:13
she's a supermodel, but she's really,
22:15
you know, clutts. And that was
22:18
just, you know, that was where
22:20
the crew went and everybody, because
22:22
I think they were embarrassed for
22:25
me. But I remember thinking, like,
22:27
oh, that's so interesting. Because you
22:29
weren't willing to take in who
22:32
you were who you were. enough
22:34
to understand your peripheral. Like I
22:36
physically walked into the wall, five
22:39
tapes in a row. And then
22:41
I started thinking, oh my God,
22:43
I've got a neurological problem. Like
22:46
this is crazy. And then I
22:48
took a dance class and my
22:50
teacher was like, if you don't
22:53
spot. And look at yourself, you're
22:55
never going to be able to
22:57
turn. You will never be able
23:00
to make a turn on stage
23:02
if you don't have a focal
23:04
point. And while we're in class,
23:07
the focal point is the mirror.
23:09
And if you can't handle what
23:11
you see in the mirror, then
23:14
you shouldn't be dancing at all.
23:16
And it was like really tough.
23:18
It was like harsh. And I
23:21
was like, I don't want to,
23:23
he goes, nobody cares. They're looking
23:25
at their own faces in the
23:28
mirror. If you don't do it,
23:30
you're on your own. And I
23:32
don't, I don't know, like, he
23:35
was so frustrated with me, but
23:37
it was like tough love and
23:39
it was, it reminded me of
23:42
that dove ad where the woman
23:44
described themselves to a artist who's
23:46
behind a black curtain and then
23:49
describes a woman that they were
23:51
cared of it. And in every
23:53
case. the way they described themselves
23:56
was witchy and hard and angry
23:58
and mean. And the way the
24:00
other person described them was like
24:03
regal and strong jod and fierce
24:05
and you just kind of go
24:07
like, okay, we've been doing this
24:10
to ourselves for quite some time.
24:12
Are we going to stop that
24:14
behavior? Yeah, because you're the only
24:17
one that can. Do you remember
24:19
a time where that was a
24:21
daily, daily, like the hardest for
24:24
you? Or like the lesson that
24:26
you needed to learn to get
24:28
past it to move on to
24:31
the next thing? I mean, I
24:33
think there was a, when I
24:35
was on Broadway, I was so,
24:38
one of the times I was
24:40
on Broadway, I was so, it
24:42
was so precious to me. doing
24:45
Wonderful Town, Town, which was a
24:47
musical comedy where I had to
24:49
sing dance and be comedic and
24:52
all of this at the same
24:54
time. And I remember thinking, like,
24:56
you are going to have to
24:59
use these six months, eight shows
25:01
a week, to stop sabotaging yourself
25:03
and stop doing those ritualistic OCD
25:06
things that you do because you
25:08
feel like if you don't put
25:10
your mascara on in the same
25:13
period of time that you count
25:15
to put your lip on like
25:17
whatever the thing was I had
25:20
frenzied myself in control. I'm gonna
25:22
stop on stage. Needing control. And
25:24
I so I went in one
25:27
day and I started absolutely doing
25:29
everything out of order. And I
25:31
waited to the last minute to
25:34
get to the theater, and I
25:36
did all these things that would
25:38
have been like, made me really
25:41
struggle. And I was fine. I
25:43
was fine on stage. The world
25:45
didn't fall apart. Yeah. And I
25:48
thought, think of all the time
25:50
you waste trying to control yourself,
25:52
when if you just were awake
25:55
enough to stay in the moment,
25:57
you'd probably be okay. Yeah, but
25:59
it's but you need to prove
26:02
it to yourself. I needed to
26:04
go through the discomfort of like,
26:06
yeah, you know, being chicken little
26:09
and the world's gonna, sky's gonna
26:11
fall apart. Yeah. Yeah, for sure,
26:13
for sure. And it's funny because,
26:16
you know, you were talking. about
26:18
talking to your daughter and you
26:20
know I've got three daughters in
26:23
the sun and and I think
26:25
you so badly want to just
26:27
like hook up like a connector
26:30
where you can like download all
26:32
of this stuff we're talking about
26:34
so you can like spare them
26:37
these moments that they go through
26:39
and then you have this moment
26:41
of realization where it's like yeah
26:44
oh just like you said like
26:46
the inside I wouldn't count insecurity
26:48
is like I wouldn't put in
26:51
my positive column But if you
26:53
can if you can contextualize it
26:55
if you can synthesize it in
26:58
your body and then have it
27:00
come out as humility Right instead
27:02
of insecurity. Maybe it's just like
27:05
me understanding that I you know,
27:07
it's not it's the opposite of
27:09
grandiose Like I'm not I'm not
27:12
all that in a bag of
27:14
chips, but I'm pretty proud of
27:16
myself instances and I learned this
27:19
because of self-deprecation, right? I've taken
27:21
self-deprecation to like a whole new
27:23
level of like, it's who I
27:26
am. And when you do that
27:28
too much to yourself over the
27:30
course of years, you start seeing
27:33
yourself as less than, right? If
27:35
you're not careful, right? Yeah, yeah,
27:37
I get that. So I do
27:40
think that there's a I like
27:42
the word humility better than I
27:44
like the word humble, but I
27:47
do feel like our humility needs
27:49
to be extended to ourselves, not
27:51
necessarily to the outside, because, you
27:54
know, I took it to such,
27:56
I would, I would like back
27:58
out of rooms or come in
28:01
and say, I'm sorry, or, or
28:03
instead of just excuse me, everything
28:05
was, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And
28:08
I was like apologizing for living.
28:10
And then you start feeling like,
28:12
Oh God, I don't know why
28:15
I feel so bad about myself.
28:17
Yeah. So I try to say
28:19
to my girls, you know, respect
28:22
is a huge, huge thing to
28:24
integrate. into your lives. And that
28:26
is respect for yourself without arrogance,
28:29
because I used to equate that
28:31
with arrogance and respect for others,
28:33
others time, others, you know, feelings
28:36
at that moment, just try to
28:38
be aware of them. Don't undermine
28:40
yourself so much to uphold them.
28:43
But again, you know, really try
28:45
to listen, listen to, okay, so
28:47
you're nervous about this, right? My
28:50
daughter went into a really kind
28:52
of interesting job where she had
28:54
to be in service. And I
28:57
said, you know, make yourself indispensable.
28:59
And she's like, well, that's, I
29:01
can't think of myself that way.
29:04
And I said, no, no, don't
29:06
walk in thinking you're better than
29:08
everybody. Walk in and say, how
29:11
can I help you? This job.
29:13
What can I do? in this
29:15
position to make your said job
29:18
more, you know, run smoothly. And
29:20
I said in overtime. you will
29:22
start feeling needed for the right
29:25
reasons. And then your own self-worth
29:27
will kind of find its spot
29:29
and you're never going to be
29:32
arrogant. It's not in your DNA.
29:34
You know what? I think that
29:36
that's also, sometimes I feel really
29:39
small in the world and I
29:41
feel like the problems are all
29:43
too big and I do tend
29:46
to feel comforted by getting really
29:48
small in like what can I
29:50
affect. You know, like, I really,
29:53
I personally, there's not a lot
29:55
I can do about things that
29:57
are happening across the world or
30:00
things that are just bigger balls
30:02
to unwind, but I can smile
30:04
at a stranger. I can make
30:07
someone feel valued and special, and
30:09
that is really important to do
30:11
when you can. When you have
30:14
the power to do it, it's
30:16
really important. to do? Well, it's
30:18
Taylor's mom giving our daughters the
30:21
little gold bracelet. Like it's, it's
30:23
their gestures. Yeah. You know, it's
30:25
like if I'm walking on the
30:28
street and, you know, I mean,
30:30
usually it goes like this, someone
30:32
will say, oh, you're still beautiful.
30:35
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's one of
30:37
those. Other than you're actually beautiful,
30:39
I got one. Anyway, it's just,
30:42
it's these crazy things. But when
30:44
someone, when anybody says anything complementary,
30:46
I immediately turn it back around
30:49
and I say, you are so
30:51
beautiful. And it never fails. The
30:53
person will go, thank you. Thank
30:56
you, Brooke. And I'll be like,
30:58
have a great day and I
31:00
walk on and it's just, it's
31:03
that. It a little goes a
31:05
long way and I think that
31:07
there are symbols of that, whether
31:10
it's Taylor Swift and her frontier
31:12
bracelets or the messaging in her
31:14
songs or how she treats what
31:17
looks like she treats every fan.
31:19
Yeah, well, she's role modeling goodness
31:21
and that wasn't. That's so necessary.
31:24
It didn't used to be so
31:26
cool to be kind and now
31:28
it does feel like there's a
31:31
culture and a and a. and
31:33
a movement toward kindness. Not in
31:35
all circles, but in quite a
31:38
few. Owning a cute bra and

Visit bmw usa.com the
35:32
ultimate driving machine. Okay, I
35:35
have a question because I was
35:37
also thinking about you. Oh, I've
35:39
been thinking about you for a
35:41
couple days because I knew I
35:44
was going to see you. And
35:46
I was thinking just looking back.
35:48
Looking back and looking
35:50
forward, you really have
35:53
touched in so many different
35:55
aspects of entertainment.
35:58
Like you have. have done so
36:00
many things and I find you in
36:03
conversation and whenever I run into you
36:05
I'm always so happy because I
36:07
find you and everything you're saying about
36:09
yourself I absolutely I know is
36:11
true but there's this there's this willingness
36:14
that I see in you that's like
36:16
Okay, I mean, you know, I
36:18
know you wouldn't say this, but you
36:20
know, you're, you're the Calvin Klein, gorgeous,
36:23
gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeousness and the winds
36:25
are blowing and the hair is blowing
36:27
and all the thing and you're
36:29
so beautiful. And there's this, there's this
36:32
aspect of entertainment, right? Because we're creating
36:34
these big images. And then it's
36:36
like, oh, hey, so what about being,
36:38
you know, what about being on a
36:41
TV show? And I think that
36:43
that that's. Not a very common thing
36:45
to be so willing and I
36:47
I love it I I think it's
36:49
I'm using it as a compliment by
36:52
the way because I find that
36:54
you know one of the biggest disruptors
36:56
to life is people who are unwilling
36:58
like unwilling just go you know
37:00
they're the people whenever you ask them
37:03
they're like no you're like oh
37:05
I just want you to jump in
37:07
but Do you have, do you know
37:09
where your willingness came from? Do
37:11
you, were you just, were you born
37:14
like that? Did you see it go
37:16
the other way? And you're like,
37:18
uh, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna jump
37:20
in. Like, where did that adventure
37:22
and where did that willingness come from?
37:25
Well, thank you for that. That is
37:27
a very positive view of, of,
37:29
I think, well, how I've chosen to
37:31
live my life, but I think it's
37:34
because I don't like limitations that
37:36
are put on me. by other people
37:38
who have no idea what my
37:40
capacity is. I don't even understand maybe
37:42
my capability or my talent or my
37:45
capacity or whatever it is. And
37:47
so when you get denied access, which
37:49
we've talked about before, but when you
37:51
are not picked, overlooked, not chosen,
37:53
whatever this crazy thing that we as
37:56
actors are subjected to. And you're,
37:58
you've been on some pedestal that you
38:00
really didn't need not ask to be
38:02
on and then you're knocked off
38:04
it and they just are thriving on
38:07
that watching you kind of flail in
38:09
their opinion, you know, the public
38:11
opinion or press or whatever. You start
38:13
to say like, am I gonna
38:15
let myself be limited constantly by something
38:18
that I have no control over or
38:20
Am I just going to keep
38:22
saying yes, especially if I'm afraid? And,
38:24
you know, it's not like, oh, by
38:27
choice, I chose not to be
38:29
in films anymore and I was going
38:31
to go beyond television or being
38:33
on Broadway. Those were things that were
38:35
the only ones available to me. But
38:38
imagine if you hadn't been willing.
38:40
You know, part of it is like,
38:42
oh, I got so happy I gotten
38:44
divided to that party. And it
38:46
just, I felt... like I think every
38:49
opportunity that I've gotten has been
38:51
a gift because they don't come often,
38:53
you know, they don't come all the
38:55
time or often and I think
38:57
that... And sometimes you have to make
39:00
them. I mean, look at them, I
39:02
mean, I'm looking at your whole
39:04
life and on pieces of paper and
39:06
notes and all the things that
39:08
I've, you know, that I've just seen
39:11
you do and there's a lot, you
39:13
know, I mean, there's a lot
39:15
of redirection. And you know what people
39:17
say it's reinvention and I always say
39:20
like, you know what, I wasn't
39:22
broken enough to need to be reinvented.
39:24
I just needed to keep being
39:26
revealed. Yeah. And like, I'll raise my
39:29
hand and I'll be like, oh, can
39:31
I want to try that? Like,
39:33
yeah, just because I've, I've felt the
39:35
success, like, and I felt it in
39:38
college more than anything. you know,
39:40
I tried out for a dance company
39:42
and I didn't make it. Princeton
39:44
University. Sorry, I always have to say
39:46
it because it's just really impressive. Well,
39:49
but like I I didn't get
39:51
into this dance company and I didn't
39:53
get into this singing group. And I
39:55
just remember feeling like such a
39:57
failure and thinking like, how could I
40:00
be an actress and not know
40:02
how to do this? Like, what's wrong
40:04
with me? Maybe I am just a
40:06
celebrity and I am just, maybe
40:08
I'm sort of smart. But like, and
40:11
so I thought, okay, well, what are
40:13
you going to do about it?
40:15
And I spent that summer taking dance
40:17
lessons, taking singing lessons. Yeah. And
40:19
I went back and I got into
40:22
the dance company. And I got into
40:24
the musical theater group. And I
40:26
had a whole life that wasn't afforded
40:28
to me before because I hadn't worked
40:31
hard enough for it maybe. I
40:33
don't know. Yeah, but you were also,
40:35
you were willing to, you were
40:37
willing to, you were willing to, you
40:39
were willing to take the no and
40:42
like direct yourselves into having earned
40:44
it. It sounds like, right? I was
40:46
willing to fail, I think. You have
40:48
to, you have to be real
40:50
willing to fail in life. That's the
40:53
thing I think some people don't
40:55
get when they, when they, when they,
40:57
when they, when they, when they, when
40:59
they, when they, when they, when
41:01
they, when they, when they, when they
41:04
talk about the, when they talk about
41:06
the, when they talk about the,
41:08
when they talk about the, when they
41:10
talk about the, I think it's
41:12
really important what you just said. If
41:15
you doubt yourself all the time, okay
41:17
fine, that's being human, but I
41:19
find that a lot of people who
41:21
get stuck in that decide to just
41:24
stop trying. to like stop doing,
41:26
to stop moving forward. And I think
41:28
it's like, that's where you, I
41:30
love all this, I love, this is,
41:32
my favorite thing about Instagram is all
41:35
the sayings. I take screenshots of
41:37
them all and I put them in
41:39
my little pocket and I go like,
41:41
you know, like, you know, like,
41:43
if you don't ask the answers, always
41:46
going to be now, right? It's
41:48
like, yes, you have to keep going,
41:50
you have to keep going forward and
41:52
then you'll, and then you'll sort
41:54
of you can do it. And also
41:57
you say, I say that to my
41:59
girls. I'm like, I can guarantee
42:01
you won't get into that college if
42:03
you don't apply. Yeah, like I
42:05
can guarantee it. Like it's a 100%
42:08
of the shots you don't take. I'm
42:10
telling you, I've got a lot
42:12
of them. I'll get on my phone.
42:14
I got a whole file. I have
42:17
those pads that have. at the
42:19
bottom, you know, and it's like, it's
42:21
always like somebody really cool was
42:23
said it in like the early 1900s
42:26
and you're just like, yes, what would
42:28
you do if you knew you
42:30
could not fail? And you're like, yeah,
42:32
all of them, all of them, all
42:35
of them. Okay, so if you,
42:37
I mean, you, you didn't know you
42:39
couldn't fail. But in this now,
42:41
in the beginning is now phase, what
42:43
is the thing that is, you can't
42:46
stop talking about? is that when
42:48
you are a part of something like
42:50
a startup, you have to know that
42:52
part of it, so part of
42:54
what you were talking about before is
42:57
accepting victimhood, I think. It's when
42:59
we choose not to move through something
43:01
and we choose to be a martyr
43:03
about it or a victim to
43:05
it, right? And you can say whatever
43:08
it is sucks, but what am I
43:10
going to do about it? And
43:12
when you are. part of something like
43:14
a company that you have decided
43:16
to start and you put your money
43:19
into it and then you lose that
43:21
money and then you have to
43:23
get more money and then you spend
43:25
that money but you all the while
43:28
you're kind of blindly saying to
43:30
yourself I believe in the mission I
43:32
believe in the vision I'm not
43:34
going to let go I'm not going
43:36
to let go I've heard these stories
43:39
I've heard people say we failed
43:41
and we pulled ourselves up and we
43:43
did and we and that has been
43:45
the thing that has been the
43:47
most sort of acute for me is
43:50
taking those moments where I am
43:52
unable to sleep and I'm afraid and
43:54
I'm and money is a looming as
43:56
a problem. But you know that
43:58
the larger message that you started this
44:01
whole thing for is the thing that
44:03
you cannot deny. That is to
44:05
be that afraid and keep forging ahead
44:07
and then to look back four
44:09
years later and say, look how far
44:12
we've come. Look at what just the
44:14
last seven months have been. I
44:16
remember running into you, by the way,
44:18
in New York City, I was with
44:21
a friend and you were at
44:23
Cafe Cluny and you were like, I'm
44:25
starting something. It's really exciting. I'm
44:27
figuring it out. I don't, I don't,
44:29
I, you were, it was, and it
44:32
was a table of, I mean,
44:34
I feel like you had like maybe
44:36
four people around you and it was
44:38
just like, I remember being like,
44:40
I can't wait to see what this
44:43
is. out of beginning is now
44:45
has now become a fully more more
44:47
fully flushed out whole vision and and
44:49
and mission for women over 40
44:51
to really help solve problems that they're
44:54
encountering. Which problem is is are you
44:56
all do you feel like is
44:58
being solved that you're most proud of?
45:00
At first it was the community
45:02
like You are not alone. I am
45:05
not alone. I am pissed that only
45:07
1% of all marketing and advertisement
45:09
has women 60 plus in it. That
45:11
is unheard of. You know, I'm when
45:14
people say, oh, do you think
45:16
Hollywood's changing in their writing stories for
45:18
women of a certain age? And
45:20
I say, yes, like, it's great. But
45:23
here's to me. We are actually even
45:25
more interesting than the divorcee who
45:27
now is sleeping with a 20 year
45:29
old. Like we are actually these unbelievable
45:32
women that have so much that
45:34
we bring to the table. And when
45:36
you, I've recently been able to
45:38
work with some actresses who are older
45:40
and they come to the table with
45:43
everything, including their little girl selves
45:45
and their insecurities, including their knowledge and
45:47
their history and their experience. And you
45:49
say to yourself like, that is
45:51
what's becoming a part of the conversation.
45:54
So like, to me, that's been
45:56
the most rewarding. is having conversations with
45:58
women all over the world. And they're
46:00
still saying, like, thank you, we
46:02
didn't feel represented, but now, let's look
46:05
at these things we're encountering and not
46:07
look at them like, oh, it's
46:09
the beginning of the end. And you're
46:11
decrepit. But like, let's look at
46:13
them and let's solve these problems. Well,
46:16
how about look at them? I mean,
46:18
there's so many other cultures that
46:20
put such a huge value on. age
46:22
and maturity, right? The elders are the
46:25
ones that choose who's the keeps
46:27
and the everything and that you know,
46:29
absolutely. And now I mean, you
46:31
know, I think, I mean, I'm just
46:33
such a huge fan and I've self-care
46:36
and I, you know, I'm on
46:38
most to do this, I put myself
46:40
last because I also am like in
46:42
the thick of it with the
46:44
kids and everything else. But I, I
46:47
find that, you know, the more
46:49
that we have the access and proximity
46:51
to being able to take care of
46:53
ourselves, it's like, it's like... I'm
46:55
looking at all these women that are
46:58
not only, you know, have more experience
47:00
and have different experience and bring
47:02
all this value, but they're also going
47:04
like, and I'm going to be,
47:06
I'm going to value my health, I'm
47:09
going to value being fit, I'm going
47:11
to value being fit, I'm going
47:13
to value how I feed myself, I'm
47:15
going to speak about myself kindly, I'm
47:18
going to, you know, I'm going
47:20
to bring all these lessons and I'm
47:22
going to share them with everyone.
47:24
I feel like that's happening, you know.
47:26
really big way. Maybe I just wasn't
47:29
around it because I was around
47:31
all people that were you know younger
47:33
but I just I find that it's
47:35
so universal these days like it
47:37
feels like it's a bit you're very
47:40
you're really much around it. Well
47:42
I also think that like we call
47:44
at Commence we call ourselves a care
47:46
brand and our whole motto is
47:48
take care and when I say that
47:51
it there's a narrative different reasons that
47:53
that sort of you know, brings
47:55
up, we're so talks about, it's like,
47:57
take care of yourself because you
47:59
deserve it. take the care that's available
48:02
to you from the people who feed
48:04
you positively in your life.
48:07
You know, take care to not
48:09
play those tapes over in your
48:11
head that diminish your value in
48:13
your own eye. You know, take
48:16
the take yourself and care for
48:18
yourself and say like that group
48:20
of girls, I don't feel good
48:22
about myself when I'm when I'm
48:25
around them or that person or
48:27
or that job or that doesn't
48:29
make me, it doesn't help me.
48:31
And I leave feeling smaller. So
48:34
that means to me, that's really
48:36
understanding what it means to
48:39
take care of ourselves so
48:41
that we can, how do
48:43
we want to live our
48:45
lives in the most care
48:47
generating way, you know, and
48:50
that's our whole. vision, you
48:52
know, we say it commends
48:54
like we want to encourage
48:56
women to live, and we
48:59
say fearlessly and joyfully, but
49:01
it's not a pressure. It's
49:03
that you've earned this position
49:05
in your actual life
49:08
because you've done so much
49:10
for so many other people,
49:12
you've come so far and you
49:15
deserve to care about who
49:17
you are as a person
49:19
and feel really good about
49:21
that. Like you deserve to
49:23
love yourself. Like it sounds
49:25
like another magnet on a
49:27
refrigerator, but it's a real
49:30
thing. And when you start,
49:32
I remember saying to myself
49:35
once, I was going into some
49:37
job that I felt in over
49:39
my head about and I just
49:41
felt. like I was sort of gonna
49:44
drown in it and I said I
49:46
wonder how you would walk into the
49:48
room if you really just said you're
49:50
enough brook like yeah it sounds
49:52
so dorky but you're kind of like
49:55
oh I might just be good enough
49:57
yeah be alive where you know we're
49:59
not taught as younger people. Let's
50:01

53:42
Did you have anyone when you
53:44
were younger that felt wise in
53:46
the in the way that like
53:48
that could that that sort of
53:50
pulled you up that was like
53:53
Brooke there's this there's this other
53:55
way of looking at it. I
53:57
mean, actually, no, I think most
53:59
of the people that I sort
54:01
of like my mother who I
54:03
looked up to, I felt responsible
54:06
for keeping her alive, like so
54:08
that that comes with a lot
54:10
of self-doubt in other ways. Well,
54:12
and a co-dependency, so yeah, for
54:14
sure, and an emeshment. And but
54:17
there were some male relationships that
54:19
I had that sort of reverted
54:21
the mirror back to me and
54:23
said, you know, I want you
54:25
to see yourself the way I
54:27
see you. Like, this is what
54:30
I fell in love with. I'd
54:32
like you to see that person.
54:34
Because if you knew her, like
54:36
if you knew her, you'd like
54:38
her. And, you know, one of
54:41
my early, early relationships that I
54:43
was able to be, that was
54:45
a huge part of it. One
54:47
of my more serious relationships, none
54:49
of them worked out in the
54:51
long run. I mean. Thankfully. Isn't
54:54
that amazing how that's such a
54:56
gift when it doesn't work? And
54:58
you're like killing yourself. Wait, I
55:00
have a question. When you were
55:02
in your when you were starting
55:05
out and again, by the way,
55:07
I maybe I'm making this up,
55:09
but I feel like I remember
55:11
seeing the billboards, like I actually
55:13
remember the Calvin Klein billboards being,
55:15
I remember those being up. But
55:18
that part of your life, who
55:20
was like your super biggest, like
55:22
who was like the crushworthiness? Like
55:24
who were you like because you
55:26
were like you were kind of
55:29
the tippy top like what is
55:31
the tippy top like you work
55:33
as again I think a wind
55:35
machine followed you where you went.
55:37
That's in my mind, that's the
55:39
story I'm making up. You would
55:42
just walk down the street and
55:44
it would be like, I'm broke,
55:46
I'm broke. Yeah, that's the way
55:48
I spent my, that's how I
55:50
got out of bed. I had
55:53
a wind machine put in my
55:55
bedroom just like I love it.
55:57
I love it. No, I mean,
55:59
it was funny because I liked
56:01
certain movies, right, but I love
56:03
the fact that John Travolta danced
56:06
the way he did. Like, like,
56:08
like, Robin Williams, like, so funny.
56:10
So, such a genius in my,
56:12
my life, his like, I, I
56:14
went like, comedians, like, I went
56:17
sexy, Russell Ball. I went like,
56:19
I, I didn't have heart throbs
56:21
as much because most of the
56:23
heart throbs I had already worked
56:25
with. And they were kind of
56:27
boring. They were just such work.
56:30
It was sweet, but they were
56:32
true. Big generalization alert, but yes,
56:34
the more handsome, the more boring
56:36
or a lot of work. They
56:38
were just boys and they needed
56:41
so much attention and I was
56:43
just like, oh, I am not
56:45
playing this game anymore. And so
56:47
I got like so just like,
56:49
Like I was like, little girl,
56:51
I'm like, they bother me. I
56:54
don't, like, you know, and everybody's
56:56
like, oh my God, you know,
56:58
babies in love with them. And
57:00
I'm just like, oh, rolling my
57:02
eyes like, you know, and like
57:05
the little sister that is just
57:07
so over the sibling that's getting
57:09
all the attention and you're just
57:11
kind of, you get petulant about
57:13
it, you know, so I wasn't,
57:15
I didn't fall into the same
57:18
category of heart throbs, and you
57:20
know, Scott Beo and Lake Garrett.
57:22
Beo. I mean, you know, you
57:24
were like, it's so funny, like,
57:26
to now look back and you
57:29
just kind of go like, oh,
57:31
those were my scrapbooks of, you
57:33
know, it was. heart problems. Did
57:35
you ever get to meet? Did
57:37
you ever, did you ever, did
57:39
you ever? Every single one of
57:42
them. I met every one of
57:44
them. And okay, so don't, you
57:46
don't need to name names, but
57:48
like percentage wise, mostly lived up
57:50
to the hype or mostly didn't?
57:53
You know, not the same kind
57:55
of hype that we were all
57:57
putting them up against. Yeah. They
57:59
just got to be too human
58:01
too quickly. Yeah. But I remember
58:03
Scott Bayo gave me a corsage
58:06
on my wrist and I was
58:08
like. And I was like. Oh,
58:10
he's classy. And I was like,
58:12
yeah. At the beginning of a
58:14
date, like he pulled up and
58:17
had a corsage? Yeah, like there
58:19
was, we went to some party
58:21
and. I was going to say,
58:23
were you going to a dance?
58:25
It wasn't a prom or anything.
58:27
It was just like a party,
58:30
I think, in Hollywood and like,
58:32
those Scotty brothers were, I don't
58:34
know, do you think his mom
58:36
called him? It was like sure.
58:38
You got to pick up a
58:41
corsage. Yeah, she probably like got
58:43
it. Did you want to wear
58:45
it? Oh, with pride. Okay, I
58:47
love it. I love it. Okay,
58:49
great. I love it. Well, I
58:51
love chatting with you. I really
58:54
do anytime, anywhere by accident or
58:56
on purpose. And thank you so
58:58
much for spending this time with
59:00
me. Thank you. Thank you so
59:02
much for having me and tell
59:05
your partner in crime that we
59:07
missed her. I know, I know.
59:09
She's going to sheep while she
59:11
already is so bummed. We talked
59:13
about it and I was like,
59:15
but she's making a difference. She's
59:18
making you guys authentic. I know.
59:20
She's responding to some medical, you
59:22
know, major minor medical trauma, which
59:24
is awesome. I know. How great
59:26
to be able to be called
59:29
in for that. I know, she's
59:31
given America what she wants. She
59:33
said it was because someone got
59:35
sick after the holidays and I
59:37
talked to her last night and
59:39
her voice sounded funny and I
59:42
was like, why is your voice
59:44
sound funny? And she's like, because
59:46
I'm sick. And I was like,
59:48
oh, because so everybody's sick. It's
59:50
just like, I remember having, I
59:53
mean, I know you have these
59:55
stories, but I remember being shocked
59:57
by it. I remember calling. up
59:59
our like main producer who was
1:00:01
like the line producer and being
1:00:03
like I'm really sick like I
1:00:06
do not feel well I feel
1:00:08
like their life swallowing glass shards
1:00:10
and he was like so okay but
1:00:12
what are you trying to say I think
1:00:14
I think I don't think I should be
1:00:17
at work like I think I'm really
1:00:19
sick and he was like okay but
1:00:21
then I'll call a doctor I'll call
1:00:23
a doctor and the doctors would come
1:00:25
give you a B12 shot yeah they'd
1:00:27
give you a B12 shot to I
1:00:29
don't I swab you. This was pre-covet,
1:00:31
so it wasn't even like they said,
1:00:33
like, and maybe you should put on
1:00:35
a mask so you don't give everyone
1:00:37
else on the set strep throat. But
1:00:40
yeah, I remember just like, let's show
1:00:42
must go on. Yeah, I found out
1:00:44
I was pregnant right before I started
1:00:46
Chicago on Broadway and I remember
1:00:48
thinking like, oh God, I'm gonna
1:00:51
get fired. And I didn't tell
1:00:53
anybody. And I just told my and
1:00:55
I said went to my doctor and
1:00:57
I'm like, I'm supposed to go do
1:00:59
this show. And he said, well, knowing
1:01:01
you, you will work out during pregnancy.
1:01:04
So just don't work out in addition
1:01:06
to the show. And he's like,
1:01:08
because your body's going to be
1:01:10
able to be fine because you've
1:01:12
worked out through your other pregnancy
1:01:15
and that's what you do. So
1:01:17
just don't work out in addition
1:01:19
to. And then when I started
1:01:22
to show, I had to like. take
1:01:24
my wardrobe person aside and say
1:01:26
like, hey, you know those like
1:01:28
waist inches? And she goes, I
1:01:30
see nothing, I know nothing, I
1:01:32
think you've been eating too many
1:01:34
pieces of candy and I'm just
1:01:37
gonna, I'm gonna let your costumes
1:01:39
out. And she didn't tell anybody,
1:01:41
but we had to keep it
1:01:43
a secret. And then finally I
1:01:45
was like nearing the end of
1:01:48
my run and it was obvious
1:01:50
like that I was, you know,
1:01:52
proxy was, you had them not.
1:01:54
I was the same pregnant rush,
1:01:57
she's a real troublemaker that Roxy,
1:01:59
she's totally. But another thing too,
1:02:01
it's like, I just recently had
1:02:03
to call a big meeting with
1:02:05
everybody because I was starting to get
1:02:07
unhealthy because of my schedule. Like, and
1:02:10
every day more is added to it.
1:02:12
And there's more and more and more
1:02:14
and more and more. And it's for
1:02:17
this and it's for that. And everybody's
1:02:19
just doing their job. And I keep
1:02:21
thinking, oh, they're going to see that
1:02:24
I'm starting to like fray here.
1:02:26
I woke up like, you know, New
1:02:28
Year's Day kind of after sort of
1:02:30
separating myself for a bit. And I
1:02:33
was thinking, no, they're not. They're not
1:02:35
going to think of you and be
1:02:37
like, oh, well, she might be overextended.
1:02:40
No, they think, oh, we got to
1:02:42
add this, we got to do
1:02:44
this, we got to do this. And
1:02:46
I thought I just called them all
1:02:49
and I said, I'm done. emotionally. I
1:02:51
need to be able to prepare for
1:02:53
them. They are creative. They have nothing
1:02:56
to do with the book, the company,
1:02:58
equity, they are my creative life. And
1:03:00
if I don't keep nurturing my creative
1:03:03
life as an actress, I will
1:03:05
become bitter to all of your departments.
1:03:07
And I will become difficult. And I
1:03:09
will say no before you even ask
1:03:12
me. And if you want to get
1:03:14
your pound of flesh out of me.
1:03:16
This is what I need. And it
1:03:19
was so interesting to be this age.
1:03:21
And finally, you know, and they all
1:03:23
responded with, okay, we get it.
1:03:25
And I was like, damn it, why
1:03:28
did I do this before? Yeah, it's
1:03:30
earlier. Yeah, it's called boundaries, but I'm
1:03:32
not good at them. But you know
1:03:35
what, you, yeah, I mean, listen, I
1:03:37
always say, I mean, I'm a recovering
1:03:39
people pleaser, I'm a fixer, I too,
1:03:42
you know, you know, single mom.
1:03:44
codependent like all the stuff and you
1:03:46
just look at how and I never
1:03:48
um I don't bemoan it And I
1:03:51
don't complain about it. It's how I
1:03:53
was put together. And I more just
1:03:56
go like, oh, well, I understand. Like,
1:03:58
by the way, maybe my tone's going
1:04:00
to be different because I'm not mad
1:04:03
at you all for putting it
1:04:05
on my schedule. I'm more like, I
1:04:07
see how this happened. I was going
1:04:09
to do it about it. And you
1:04:12
were being you, and now I'm going
1:04:14
to just hit the reset button and
1:04:16
be like, we're going to do it
1:04:19
different from here on. I'll take it
1:04:21
all. But you know what? That being
1:04:23
said, it's the blessing and the
1:04:25
curse because it's what I love about
1:04:28
myself so much. Yeah. And it's also
1:04:30
what can make things a little tough
1:04:32
sometimes. Yeah. And if you, you know,
1:04:35
when you start to, if you start
1:04:37
to become a victim to it, then
1:04:39
it's on you to like go, oh,
1:04:42
it doesn't fit anymore. It used to
1:04:44
feel me and now, I don't
1:04:46
like the way that feels. I want
1:04:48
to still be me, but I want
1:04:51
to still be me, but I'm just
1:04:53
going to be me, I'm going to
1:04:55
carve it, I'm going to carve it
1:04:58
out a carve it out a, carve
1:05:00
it out a little differently. Yeah, and
1:05:02
sometimes take a minute to do
1:05:04
that. I feel like, you know, I
1:05:07
mean, everyone talks about this, but everyone's
1:05:09
just so in a rush. They like
1:05:11
want their answer for everything, like now,
1:05:14
you don't do it now, and now
1:05:16
we have all these smartphones, so we
1:05:18
actually can do it now, and you
1:05:21
can literally be sitting there. I know,
1:05:23
and my, and now I watched
1:05:25
my 14 year old, like, they expect
1:05:27
it from me, the guy to then
1:05:30
fix the thing and it all happened
1:05:32
so quick because I can't before and
1:05:34
you can yeah yeah yeah and now
1:05:37
I'm like oh right that this might
1:05:39
be yours to do how about you
1:05:42
take this yeah I love you mommy
1:05:44

1:05:58
day, but I think actually your people
1:06:00
want you to go back to work.
1:06:02
