• 0:17
  Speaker 3: those things you do.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: You do, but we know we're good roommates. We're good roommates.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I mean last night you asked me to hit you
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: if you snored.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: I knew it was coming, and I woke up at two.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Thirty am and I've been up ever since because that's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the life of a you know, middle aged mom.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: So sure, I mean, insomnia is no joke right now,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: it is no joke.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I tried everything that I could think of to go
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: back to sleep, but every thought I could think of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: was running through my mind, and I.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Just, yeah, how often do you wake up with not
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: being able to you know, insomnia?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Pretty much every night? But you know what, now, I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: do have a product we'll talk about later that has
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: helped me to sleep. Oay, get back, So we'll get
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: But lately I think I've been suffering from a few things. Okay,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: so this is my most concerning thing. And you're a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: really good friend, so you can tell me what you
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: think about this.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm listening.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Is this dementia or is it? I meant more menopause.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Now I'll tell you. I'll tell you what happened or
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: what's been happening. So my son's friend was helping me
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: with something, and I said, Danny, I needed to go
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: into my office and go in there. And you know
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that thing next to the door that has wheels on
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it that you put stuff on. He said, oh, the cart.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: The cart.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: It has a word, the cart. Yes, So that is
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing for me. The brain fog, I am
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: why am I in this room? Why did I come here?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: What's happening? And finding the words? So that's the biggest thing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: And so yesterday I was smart enough. I was with
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: all my Texas longhorned football friends this weekend. So I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: fired up that text group and I said, girls, give
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: me your one thing. And of course my friend you know, responded,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I can only give one, and I was like, yes,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I don't have all day. Give me the one thing
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: that bugged you the most about this new stage of life,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: and do you want to know what they are? Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: what's the least Maybe probably one was like this spare
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: tire around my waist and I work out five six
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: days a week, and I say, well, don't work out
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: five six days a week if you're still gonna have Yeah, but.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That's only because I don't really exercise as much as
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: she does.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: The other one was insomnia, and then, I mean the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: other one was.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Obviously sweating through the sheets.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Not only the sheets, but what you're wearing and you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: have to change in the middle of the night.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It's a whole thing.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And the last one I was surprised about adult acne.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Oh so I've been stealing my daughter's pimple patches after
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I complained about how expensive they were and do you
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: really need that? And I've decided now that it's happening
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to me that the whole family gets a patch.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Oh good, we're a house full of girls.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's part of the list. But that probably
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't even cover everything.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what I got.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But here's the good news. I believe menopause is having
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: its moment. I mean, think about it. Leanne Morgan's show
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: is big. I mean that's you know, just Melanie. Yeah,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the TikTok Instagram because she started the started the we
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Just Do Not Care Club and it's for it was
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: originally for perimenopause and menopausal women. But then I got
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in her TikTok Live and I asked the question, so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: do you start caring again in postmenopause? And they said, no,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you still don't care.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So you actually like that, you know, if you're not
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: gonna like the rest of your life, well, you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: care about the little things.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You just really don't you realize.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So anyway, it's just it's just nice to know that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we have something that that we the world canal discuss
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and share and learn about and take the stigma off
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of it. Because, you know what, I raising two sons,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the era of erectile dysfunction ADS. That's has been rough.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: They have to hear about me. Now they can listen
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: about they can learn about hot flashes.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I'm not a man hater, but if this was happening
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to men, no sleep, sweating, you know, word finding, brain fog,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: everything that I've listed, yeah, I mean, the world would
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: fall apart.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It really would.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: That's just an opinion.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited today that we have two ladies who
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: can share.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: More about this is hortantnt God for them.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They are lifelong friends who are both successful producers, actors,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and writers, each in their own right, and they've joined
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: together to create, produce, and start a YouTube comedy series
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that followed two friends in the throes of menopause called
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The Third Act. Please welcome Jane Hijak and Sherrie Duran.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Love ladies.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Ay here, it's so nice for you to be able
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to talk to you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you for coming, and I love what you're doing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So you have a the twelve episode comedy series on
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: YouTube and each episode is like two or three minutes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's fun to watch and you can that's one thing
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you can binge watch in like an hour. I guess, yeah,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's really great. How did you two decide to do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: this together? And when I said to you were lifelong friends,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you were college roommates. I understand, so you've been doing
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: working together for a long time. How did this come about?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: This new project?
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: So it's interesting. I'm shary by the way. I'm not
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: sure my name's up there, but I'm sharing Jean's over there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: We were college roommates. We worked together in California in production.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: We had two different producing companies. We did small projects
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: together and COVID hit like the rest of us, what's
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: going to happen during COVID? And so we were wanted
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: to write something or do something, and I said, Jane,
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: why don't we write about what we're going through.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: We're both going.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Through it and She's like no, And Jane had never
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: written before. It became a It kind of became a
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: camaraderie with us. I wasn't working as an actor anymore.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: I just work in production. And she said, well, I'll
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: write for the first time if you act again. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: so we challenged each other and I don't know, like
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: twenty zooms later, we had the first season written and
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: we were ready to take off. And Jane, you can
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: take it from there and talk a little bit more
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: about what happened.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Well, I've happened to watch Inside the Mom's Club as
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: well as my partner Sherry, and I know your motto
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: if you don't.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Laugh, you are going to cross exactly.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: That sums this show up. If you want to learn anything,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: don't ask us.
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: But if you want to open up the conversation and
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: laugh and maybe get a little more comfortable saying to
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: your doctor, I am really dry, and I don't mean
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: driving cracking down there.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: What can I do? Because we will go through that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: You will see an episode of that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: You will see me looking right there at her and
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: telling her, yeah, you're really dry.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: So it really does open up the conversation.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: As I said, when I saw the motto of your show,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: I go, oh, my.
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: Gosh, this is the third act.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: And it is and the mom's ladies they'll say, I mean,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: it is one of those things.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Misery loves company.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: So if I can sit there and talk to Sherry
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: about my acne, which is so screwed up that at
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: age fifty three to fifty seven, I've had acne, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: then we can hot flash together and that and all
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, it's almost kind of enjoyable.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Oh I did that too, And so, oh, you guys
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: are so funny. How did you come up with the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: short timing of your shows? I mean, because it's hilarious
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and a short amount of time and you can relate
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: really fast.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So how did you guys think of that?
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: I'm going to take this. I'm going to take this
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: share because I know she's brilliant, and she'll say it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: it is a real.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Exercise to write a beginning, middle, and end in that
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: short of time.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I'm going to just tell you the real truth. Money.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: You know, we knew we can't write thirty minute episodes
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: and because we literally thought we'd be holding our cell
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: phone and shooting these and then my husband started saying, wait,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I think one can move with you. So we had
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: all these ideas and story short somebody came.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: On and said, we want to produce this.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: This is great, and we are just so happy. It's
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: not a lot of money, but still it's not ours.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: And then they pull out and it's ours, and so
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: we get our great friends in the business that are
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: working for a little I won't say to nothing because
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: they're working for little money. And this is what we created. Sarah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: do you want to go anywhere?
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: I mean no, no, that's really it. But I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: there was something interesting about can you arc a story
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: in that short of time and get an audience to
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: care about those characters? And that was kind of the
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: for me. That was kind of the fun is that
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: as a writer and the challenge Jane too, I was like, Okay,
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: we have to you know, the audience has to want
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: to care about these two women, and I think they do.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You want to cheer them on well, and I appreciate
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you noting that our motto is if you don't laugh,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: sometimes you're going to cry. We might have added misery
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: loves company too.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Because yeah, that's great.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I also noticed in your episodes a lot of them
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: occur in the bathroom, and so, I mean, I've Julie
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and I have shared a lot of menopause issues together,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: but never there well.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: A bathroom, a king size bed. I mean, there's a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: lot of sharing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So is the is there a thought behind that or well?
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: So the characters in the show are Josephine and Lauren.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: I play Lauren, she plays Josephine, based loosely on our personalities.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: I don't think we strayed too far, A little far
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: and some I don't drink as much as Lauren.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: I don't think.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I did notice that one that made me laugh.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Have them video And there's really no rhyme or reason
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: to it other than we thought the sound was better
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: in the bathroom, which did.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: And the light I mean, because we thought two women,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: where would it be and we have windows there. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: know everybody doesn't have windows in their bathroom, but I do,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: and I am sitting in front of a huge window.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: That's why I love so good.
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: I mean our show, Yeah, we could show it, so
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: there's really I mean, it was just a silliness of like,
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: where would these two women do this? And they're not
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: you know, they're not producers that they don't work in
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: how they're are two women that want to make a video.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Back, and Josephine is the lawyer. Is that right? Yes?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Well I can appreciate that because being an I'm an
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: recovering attorney here, so watching you go through it as
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a lawyer, that's that that adds an extra layer of
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: comedy to it because lawyers are pretty buttoned up people,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: so to be going through all this is pretty hilarious
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and that's a lot of fun to it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: I home to that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 11: That.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Also, it's based on a friend of mine who is
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: a district attorney and she had that experience. So a
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: lot of our stories have come from different places. But
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: she is really really struggling in her job. And I
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: was talking to her one night over a glass of
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: wine and I was like, what what what do you do?
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: What?
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: She was Sherry, I'm you know, And so that's kind
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: of how that story. Of course, you know, we took
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: some liberties. Yeah, that's how it came to be.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, brain fog is an attorney is not a good thing.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. That's a rough one. Yeah, not what
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: your clients want to see. Then you don't even you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you can't pull now.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So I was reading a little bit about the National
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Menopause Show.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Which you guys are going to be at. Is that correct?
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Ya?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: And so I feel like this is i mean, something
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: that every woman should know about, like because it's something
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I mean tell us like it's open to anybody and everybody,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: is it not?
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: So so it's the National Menopause Show in Anaheim. They
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: had their first one in Toronto and it was made
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: by women for women, and I kind of reached out
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: to them and they reached back to me and they're like,
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: oh my gosh, we need comedy. You know, you just
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: want to see a bunch of doctors and kind of
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: go what's going on right, you know? And I said, well,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: we can break the ice if you want that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: So it's going to be on October fourth and fifth
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: in Anaheim at the Anaheim Convention Center.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, and did read that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Actually, we have a code for our show. It's called
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: the thhe the twenty. If you put the twenty, they'll
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: give you a twenty percent discount till October third on it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: But I also received a letter today. This is how
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: great this organization is. They're like, hey, if you have
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: women friends that can't even afford and it is very
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: many at the cost. I think it's like thirty five
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: dollars to get in. Plus we got a twenty percent
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: of discount. But she said, if you have friends that
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: can't go, tell me and I'll get your pass. Oh
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: these ladies care.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: That is great.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I mean that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I love that because like some people don't feel like
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: they can talk about it, they can ask about it,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: and if you go there, you're like, oh, me too,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: me too, me too, that's happening, and so you get
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: all your inform and you actually feel better when you
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: leave there, like something like that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So I'm super excited.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: No, I absolutely love the whole thing because there's so
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: many things as women that we don't talk about and
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: share with each other. For example, when I had my children,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: no one told me about sleep deprivation. I mean, you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: when you have a baby, you're you didn't realize you're
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be up for a year, right, he tells you.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: No one says a.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Practice law with no sleep, kind of like when you're
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: in menopause, same sort.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Of thing exactly.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: But so it's nice that they're sharing, you know, that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: they have something like that where we can share it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And I love that they're doing with comedy too, because

  Speaker 6: We have Tom Lennon, who is from Reno ninety one one.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you've seen that, very very funny actor.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: I'm very fortunate. We have Michael Dorn from Star Trek.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: We have Jen Ray from In the Middle who played
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: the neighbor. She's on it. We were so lucky people

  Speaker 6: who have watched it and said, this is funny.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I'm in yeah, I love it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: How do the men describe it for the listeners who
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: haven't seen it yet, Like, what do they say, I'm
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: dying to know the men?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think they're I mean anybody, I'm not
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: even just Tom and Michael. But people who have watched
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: it said everybody, should you know that I opened themselves.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Everybody should be watching this because then you don't call
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: your wife or your partner whatever crazy you kind of go.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: I have no idea, which trust me, we didn't either
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: a few years ago, did we. I mean, nobody talked
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: about menopause. And when Shary and I started this, we
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: got done shooting it at the end of September three
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: years ago. And I'm watching football and I saw a
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: hot Flash commercial and I said.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: No way.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, we are so on the pulse they are
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: talking and so, yeah, it's just and I think they
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: can appreciate, I said, And I think we talked about
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: this before the show, but you you see how quick
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: those commercials come with erectile dysfunction.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah quick.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: We got that blue pill. We don't have any blue
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: pill or pink anything. It's about time it's being talked about.
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, when you will were pioneers too, because you started
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this a few years ago. And yeah, now we've got
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Now we have Leanne Morgan and wet and this woman
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Melanie here's really you know, she's just a million followers.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I think she literally said she got in her left
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the grocery store, sat in her car and did this
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: one video crying about menopause, and it got home and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: she had a million followers and there are women. They
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they started chapters We Do Not Care Club. Well that
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you are, by the way, welcome to join us in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: our mom to Rage and the chapter you all are
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: welcome to join the Mom's Club too, because we need.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: But I think it's key, like what you were saying,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Like they I mean, people say like all saying, oh god,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: she's you know I like I said, we I have
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: two daughters, so they're going to go through it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Girls.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is that they're like, oh my god,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: she's on the crazy train again, and they snapchat each
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: other and talk about me all the time. But they
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: also when I lived in Europe in eighty seven, I
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: am not allowed to give blood because that's when mad
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: cow disease was. So now they go back and forth
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: from oh, she's on the menopause crazy train and she
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: has had cow disease. So it's like it's important that
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: we don't you know, get you know, blamed about like
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: being crazy all the time.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well the whole crazy thing is really yeah yeah, anyway,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: well it is.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: It's not alone.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: We have not alone. We have women, yeah that are
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: with us.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Some zuber moms who have a lot of questions for
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: our guests. So welcome zoomer moms. Welcome to the Mom's Club. Whoo,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: hello ladies, thank you for joining us. And let's start
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: with Mary Ann. Mary Anne, can you tell us your name,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: where you're from, a little bit about yourself and do
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you have a question for our guests?
• 20:17
  Speaker 12: I do, Sherry, I believe it was you. You did
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: some World War two documentary and something about Anne more Lindbergh.
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: So I'm wondering if if the comic part is relief
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: for your sit side of things that you like to do,
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: or do you just like both of them.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's an interesting question.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: It's funny because that was another reason Jane and I
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: did this project because we've always been cast as the
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: serious dramatic and I love comedy and people say you're
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: kind of funny, showy, like you should be doing comedy.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: So I think it was a good release. And I
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: also think that in any show. I think even in
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: a dramatic, there should be comedy because that's like, I mean,
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: that is how we deal with it. But that's interesting
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: for seeing that so history Speaks, which I loved. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: did make a World War Two documentary and a huge
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: amount of ammar Linberg, who's actually way ahead of all
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: of us having these shows. She was writing books, you know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: back when women didn't write books.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, crazy and too.
• 21:15

  Speaker 3: We've got our longhorns. You've got you know ut Knoxville.
• 22:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, all right, then go for garde my question,
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: and you sort of touched on it a little bit
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: a while ago, some of the bathroom things that come
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: along with you know, it really started for me a
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: few years ago. But the incontinent, I mean, what the heck?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fun one, right, Oh yeah, I love it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: I mean, have you guys worked that into your it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: to talk about, right, So, I don't know, if you've
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: done an episode, maybe I need to go watch it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: I'd love you to see these because we do.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I remember one time Shary and I have social media too,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: so sometimes i'd just be at the drug store and
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: It'll be the incontinence. There's you you've see now signs
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: for at the drug store and I'm just in that
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: in that area.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: So yeah, sure, you do you have anything to add
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: with that?
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: We do if actually the end of season one, if
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: you watch, we do bring it up where I I
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: don't want to give it away, but I do have
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: to be somewhere, so you might want to check that out.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: It's not a pleasant place, but it does happen, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: it is It's just it is a part of it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: It's part of estrogen. Again, we're not doctors. I can't,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: but from all of our research and research for myself,
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: that's an issue that I deal with, you know. And
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: you know the kegels can you do?
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: And estrogen and putting that back in or or gestrian
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: or whatever it is that you find. You know, again,
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: you know, the biggest thing is finding that advocate doctor
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: that's going to help you. You know, who's gonna who's
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: going to help you. I went to FOURD by the
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: way before I found the doctor.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's a really good question. We really wanted
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: to know how people can like what you're like. We
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: know these are characters and everything, but how people can
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: prepare better or what you think? I mean, people really,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I think need to be with a menopause specialist. I
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: mean you can get so lost on what you.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Need to do. Agreed or what would you say to that?
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: Absolutely?
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I mean I don't want to say anything against our doctors,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: but most of our doctors that we've gone to have
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: studied so little about menopause. Now, for the past one
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: and a half two years, it's been like menopause heaven,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: if that's what you want to call it. But now
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: it's a business, and now we are at the point
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: where we have to I think we through all the
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: crap because there's going to be a lot of quick this, this, this,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: and you've got to find the doctor that has studied menopause,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: which I have one.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: I really think.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: That's why my menopause has been much better than it
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: could have been, because I found her early and I
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: thought I was so ahead of the game.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: I said, you know, I'm I'm just still ahead of
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: the game.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: I want to get my testing done and I'm sure
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not going through it, and blah blah blah. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: take my test and she literally goes, I don't know
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: how you're functioning. You have like no estrogen, so I
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: don't even know. I mean, I think the next day
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I've been hop flashed at it.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Whatever would have happened.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: But again not We're all different and we all believe
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: different things.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: I am taking.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Hormones and I know at one point it was the
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: worst thing ever.
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: And I know with you Julie, yeah, is because she's you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Know, don't worry, I'm going to get them back.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get them back.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: But you know, I really do believe because I was
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: so early, well it doesn't sound like I was but
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I was young when I kind of said, let's just
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: see what the levels are.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you really got in on that kind
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: of early. And this is the thing. People don't even
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: ask to check your levels. A lot of times people
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: are just throwing this, Like you said, you got to
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: weed out all the stuff, because people are throwing this
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: at you and that at you, and you're like, really,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: what is.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: It that I need?
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: That's true, like if you don't have blood work and
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: you don't do all that. I'm also a nurse, so
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I mean I talk about this stuff all the time,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: and it's important to find what is going to work
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: for you because none of us need to be miserable
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: or misery loves company.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: But well it's tricky too because I had a hysterectomy. Yeah, yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I'm a total total And they don't really follow up
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: with you very well.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: And yeah, you should be just fine. You had a
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: hysterect to me, what's wrong with you?
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: And I think too, if you if you think about it,
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: you know, the third act of our lives, which we're
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: all in our approaching. You know, you're going to live
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: thirty years, forty years in that that third act perhaps
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: what is the quality of your life exactly? That's that's
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: the I think the primary question that I've learned all
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: this time. And then you can go and try and
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: find your people to make that happen.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the third act? Is there the final act?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: What's the next thing?
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: Is we twist it to something else?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Friendship that I was just curious.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I think it's death Monica's I mean, this is really
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: and it is such a lively, great thing. I mean
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: what people would ask us, well, what are you going
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: to do after menopause?
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: Well, first thing, it lasts a long time time. My
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: doctor says, it lasts forever. I mean, postmenopause is menopause.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: And I know some of you women may have not
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: been having as you know, the symptoms, or maybe you
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: did and now they're easier, but I promise you they
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: can come back, and you are in menopause throughout your life.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: So when they did ask us that, I go, well,
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: we're going to take this to that many years and
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of things. We just don't have to
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: talk about symptoms, but we can talk about kids, sleep,
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: and we can talk about divorce. We can talk about
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: changing of careers. There's so much that we women that
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: have been pushed under the rug. It's like we can't
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: produce children anymore, so.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: Do away with them. And now it's like, uh, oh,
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: watch out here we come.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Nancy, welcome to the Mom's Club. Tell us
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit about yourself, and do you have a
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: question for our guests.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, Hey, I'm Nancy Barger.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: Hi, Laurlie. I'm in Knoxville, so go Big Orange. We're
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: right down the street. My best friend is actually an
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: obg y N so she can help you.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: She's a great menopause specialist.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: She took my.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Uterus out a couple of years ago.
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: It's been fabulous and she says I'll go through menopause
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: in a couple of years and I trust her. But
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: I'm having the hot flashes and the incontinence and all
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: of that stuff. I'm a mama for I'm about to
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: be a grandmother for the first time. I actually host
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: a radio show here, so I make fun of people
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: all the time. And I made fun of my hysterectomy
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: for a good month, which was on the air two
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: one hundred thousand people that all know that I've had
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: a hyreck to me, so trying to bring awareness of
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: that situation. And Leanne Morgan is a friend of mine,
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: so I love the fact that she's there. But one
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: thing I've not quite figured out yet is how do
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: you apologize to your husband and your kids after a
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: menopause mood swing because it happens a lot and there
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: is only so often that you can blame it on
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: your zoloft or whatever else you're taking when you're like, oh,
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: I'm so sorry.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you have to apologize?
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's think about if college football, like the
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: cable went out and something the meltdown was from him.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: But no, I don't know that's a good question. I
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: mean it depends, Sherry.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: I don't apologize to my husband or son and they
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: know I'm going around crazy. Uh you know, I think
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: I think it's still just talking about it. I'll tell
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: you I finish talk about it quite a bit because
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: we have a show about it, and my husband's not
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: that kind of person. He's like, oh please, you know
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: I well I shouldn't. I'm going to share it. I
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: won't say his name. So I had somebody going on
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: with my lady parts and I was like, honey, I
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: need you to look. I need to do something to me.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: He's like, get away from me, and I'm chasing him
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: through the house. I didn't realize I was actually doing that,
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: and he's like, what is wrong with you? And I
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: need you to look because I think somebody's really and
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: he's like, wow, this is not no, no, this is
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: and I realized, Wow, I'm really asking more of him.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Than he can handle.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's willing to give in this. He's trying to
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: be understanding and I think just communicating, especially you said
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: you have four kids. Do you have boys?
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: I have foy.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: Girls and two boys, and my girls get it. My
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: husband's like your husband. If you say the word tampon
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: in front of him, he will have he'll melt an
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: emotional and physical meltdown.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: He's never bought one.
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: He doesn't want to see it, he doesn't want to
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: talk about it. He doesn't want to acknowledge that that's
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: how women have children. In the delivery room, he stayed
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: at the north pole the entire time. And so I think,
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: like when the mood swings kind of come around, he
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: is a man will never understand what we're going through.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: And I think it's frustrating for him because.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: He doesn't get it, and so then you know, sometimes
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: him and the boys just kind of snap and I'm like,
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: m yeah, I.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Think you can sign him up for a class.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I think, like what, yeah, an educational.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: I think to you said you had a best friend
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: that you cut your uterus, Well, that's that's there's a
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: statement right there.
• 31:37
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: You know, I think for Jane and I having that
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: best friend sometimes that's going to be that's the best medicine,
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: is that they're going to understand, even past your your
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: family and everyone, what you're going through. You just call
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: him and say, hey, my husband's like really winky right now,
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: he is not getting what's going on.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: I've actually had her call him, Yeah, what's.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Can I meet her number?
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: She's ther whole hand in her who who and starts
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: asking you questions.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: About that's a little weird, but you know, you.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: Know, I'd all jokes aside too.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: I just think open communication is the best, and it
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: is so humbling. It is so humbling to be like
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: that and treat somebody who loves me like he does,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: and my daughter entreat him like that, So I really
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: know what you.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: Mean and then you have to apologize, but I think
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: you do. And just open communication, you know, because.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: It's it's just we are we're laughing and we're funny
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: and we're laughing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: But you know what, it's so vulnerable.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: We are losing so much of what we worked hard
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: to get, whether that was as we worked out or
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: did that or had beautiful hair, and it's it's just
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: and even people paying attention to us.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: Remember when you go on the street, you'd always get.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Hellos, and then all of a sudden you don't get
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: even the door open.
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: Wow, I don't go to the bank anymore. But it's different.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: It's different, and until maybe you get really old and
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: then may be somebody else. But yeah, just that open
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: communication and if you have those people there that are
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: there to and you can.
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: Let your guard down.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's really key to being very vulnerable.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: And you said something in the beginning, Jane about the
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: clumps of hair. Okay, so we've had this huge argument
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: in my house. I used to be married. I'm not
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: in ler, but that was a huge thing and I
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: was like, do you think this is great for me
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: that I am losing by them, and then of course
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: we all stick it on the wall to get it
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: at the end of the shower. I mean, this is
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: a thing, you know what I mean, maybe I forgot
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: a few times and so you have a couple clumps
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: of hair there. But this is really not easy for
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: us to do either. So you're right about the communication.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: If you're just like open about it, it kind of
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: takes the elephant out of the room, doesn't it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would think so, Jane. You also mentioned something
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: about how you how you looked at differently, and I
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: did I read quicktly. Were you the homecoming queen at
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Oil City High School?
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: Though I'm a lawyer by train.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: We're going to show a picture in a minute, don't worry.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: But I mean, how does it feel like that the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: homecoming queen also goes through menopause? You know, everybody goes
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: through menopause eventually, you know, if you're live long enough,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you're lucky enough, that's what happens. Right, So it is
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: a different you know, we all we all experience it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: And yeah, aging is an honor, as I tell the girl.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: But I also love to something that Nancy talked about
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that's why we have the Mom's Club. That's why we're friends,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: you know what. We can talk to our husbands and
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: there and try to help them understand what we're going through.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But that's why we have these close friendships with other women.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Women are great about having friendships and being tight. And
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: like when when you're feeling like crying or you're you
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: got acne and what are you going to do? And
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I called Julie. Yeah, she'll make me feel so much better.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: You call me anyway, because you're a hypochondriac and I'm
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: a nurse, so you're.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I didn't even need menopause to have a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: lot of Yeah.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I just it was. It was already there.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: No anyway, So how did you guys handle like the
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: casting for this show? I'm dying to know, Like, you know,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: did you have a ton of people or tell me
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit about that.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Sounds like you had some good volunteers who liked you,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: But did you have to castro cast a wider net
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: or how did you.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it was so wonderful to be able to
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: cast people of our age.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: Because of our age, you're not getting cast as much, right,
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: So that was a wonderful thing.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: And we used, of course, all our friends, and then
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: when we didn't have to, we just went into casting
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: and it was great, and you know, of course we
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: wanted to get some names. And you know, it's funny
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: if you have enough connections out here. We do live
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: in La yes, so you just come across these actors.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Michael Doran happens to be one of my best friends.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: And Tom Lennon. Actually our children.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: Went to preschool together. So let me tell you a
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: great story about Tom Lennon. I don't know.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: I didn't talk to him for years. And Sherry and
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: I are going through I think Tom Cruise will do it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: How about wrapping it? So we're going through this and
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: I said, you know what I know Tom Lennon.
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: She goes, what you know? Tom Lennon.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: If you ladies don't know me, was on something called
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Reno nine to one one and he was a cop
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: that wore way.
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: Too short shorts.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: He's just a funny guy. So anyway, I give him
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: a text. I said, Hey, this is Jane, and I said,
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: we have this. I you know I'm thinking about I'd
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: love you to play that my best friend's husband, And
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: I knew this dude did not watch this and within
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: three minutes, right Erry, he wrote me back and said,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: I'm in.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: So it's just amazing friends and people.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: In season two. One of the extraordinary things when you
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: watch that season and we are writing season three right now,
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: yes we're in pre production. It was amazing to how
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: we had women the age of fourteen to ninety telling
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: the story. And there's something magical about that that we
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: didn't realize. We didn't. I don't know that we did
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: that on purpose. It would just happened to be the
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: episodes we wrote. And I went, oh, my goodness, like,
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: look at all these different generations of women telling the
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: story and being funny and sincere and vulnerable all those things,
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: and that was an amazing part of the casting too.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I think I'm glad you explained that.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I read that the fourteen to ninety I was like,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: where are we with the fourteen year old part? But
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I get what you're saying now, So I'm glad we
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: touched base on that.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Do you each have a favorite episode?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I do, and it's so funny because it's not a
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: funny one. But I'm going to probably break a little something.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: But because if I would love you to see it
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: and how it progresses. But there's this one where I
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: get so angry her and she stands me up and
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I'm waiting for her to go to another another wonderful
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: guru session or something. And then the next episode we
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: see what we were angry. We're in a fight, definitely,
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: we see each other. We run into each other in
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: a drug store and we find out I guess I
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: don't have to tell you. We find out what is wrong,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: but it is. It is uh something that happens sometimes
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: because of menopause, whatever, a result, whatever. And she opens
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: up in a drug store and it's it's very touching
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: and I absolutely adore that episode, but it's probably nothing.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: Not like if we started watching three together.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: That's not an episode I'd show you until you know
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: the characters and you care about them.
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: And you go, whoa, yeah that's mine. And it's called surprise.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, gosh, there's so many I mean, I love I
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: want to give away things too, you know, just to
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: be fun and be silly. It was really I guess
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: it was the research of it too. It was really
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: fun to do the episode about smoking pot, so we
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: thought we'd try it that'll cure it. Good, because that's
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: the thing to women, am I right? You are you
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: just don't know what to do. You will try anything
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: at some point. Right. So somebody had said, oh, you
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: know if you use you know, herb, little herb, And
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: I said, well, I haven't done that since I don't
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: even know when. Let's okay, let's do it. Let's try it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: And so that whole kind of that experiment. And you know,
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: I have a son who's twenty three, and so I
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: had to get this vape thing and I'm asking him,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: I don't even know how this thing works. I mean,
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: I thought you, I thought you lit it. I thought
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: you lit the vape thing. I didn't know, you know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: I just hit a ball with my son. It was
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: actually a bonding moment for my son because he was like,
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: what are you doing?
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Mom?
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: I said, I need you to show me just enough
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: of this, but I don't know how to use it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: And uh. And so that one was a lot of fun.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: And that one actually the first day I had forty
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: thousand views.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: Oh oh my gosh, that was our biggest.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: It was so weird. I was like, why why? And
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: I think because we were so women, our age trying
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: to you know, I was trying to score some pot,
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: you know, the car, and I was talking about all
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: the Navy. I don't know if you guys have been
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: to one of those stores. It is fascinating. I did
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: research it and I went. I was like, oh my god,
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: it's like a candy store here there.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Highly educated, highly educational by far, I mean the first
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: definitely it doesn't work.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Now, Okay, well this is so much fun. So where
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: can our our audience find your show? And where do
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: we find you? On social media?
• 40:27
