  Speaker 1: Particularly Yes. The fact that we're still saying we're friends
• 0:29

• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I was watching a podcast on my iPad in bed, Yeah,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and all of the suddenly, okay, it wasn't that loud,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now the blue, I see this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: figure appear over me. Yeah, grab my iPad, slam it shut,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and shove it in the dresser there.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Now, I can see how that would make you a
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: little edgy if it was true.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is true, it is a little true.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But it was very dark.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I couldn't see what was happening, and maybe the podcast
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: had been playing, as my kids would say, six seven, like.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: A long time. Yeah, So I thought you were asleep.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And I was awake.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, so rude.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That's my first thought was how rude.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I think I felt sorry for my kids because.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now I know how they felt when because then
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I was afraid. So that was the next thing that happened.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Watching TV is over, it's over.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: First, I did the passive aggressive thing and I jumped
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: out of bed to make it clear that I was awake,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: but you didn't seem to care.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I had headphones on, which is normal for when you're listening.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: To and then I went and got back in bed
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and thought, okay, now I can't I what am I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: going to do to go to sleep because now I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: don't have anything. It's she doesn't want me to have
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: this thing on. But then I but then I had
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a plan. Yeh, like you like when you're a little kid.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I got I got it out, yeah, turned it on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: as low as I could, and I created this sound
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: barrier with pillows.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So you were hiding under the papers, yeah, and in.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: A cave over myself.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And that total accident, and that didn't seem to bother you.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, now I felt I felt like a child.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry about that. I've apologized many times. If
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you were awake, I would have asked, but I had
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: headphones on. I couldn't hear what was going on, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: it was very dark. So I hope we can still
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: be roommates.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: We can, Yeah, I had, I had to think about it,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: but yeah, but reliving that made me reminded me of
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: like when I was a child, yeah, which I can
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: barely remember bedtime and yeah, So I'm excited about our
• 2:46

• 3:26
  Speaker 5: And you know.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: How Rude came to mind, It was like naturally.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I think that's what she wanted to say.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: How I want, Lily, I have to say. I also
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: I I've got a side. I can't side with you
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: on this one.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Maga.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: It's you need headphones, scar sharing a room, the brightness
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: and the and you got it headphones if there's anyone
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: else within hearing distance. Otherwise you're I described it. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: gotta says the air Force. That's not a great way
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: to come on someone. Show you're the problem.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I will in this scenario.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: I do. I think really the how rude belongs to her?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: WHOA oh wow wow, Well okay, I want to give
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you a little heads up on the first part of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that though. Do you know why I had that on?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It is because of the snoring. I was trying to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: drown that one out. So see there was something going
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: on there. But no, I can take that. I guess
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: there's no hell rude for that. I that's right.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: It sounds like you both need to travel with earplunks.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. That's yes, we're slow. You know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it's only been four years, but we're learning how to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: do these things. But what I was Louisa, I brought
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: all that up is. It reminded me of like being
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a kid, like when your parents shows up and take
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: something from you because you're almost to have your phone,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to have your iPad. And I thought,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I can't even that's I had the feeling
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of being that young, but I've forgotten what it's like
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to be that young. And then I thought about the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: show today and what we're doing and looking back through
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: all the episodes of Full House and looking at you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: when you were five years old, when you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Started yeah to thirteen, and you know, you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Have a podcast where you're looking through all that. What's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it like to see yourself at that age? I mean,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you literally get to watch yourself grow up be that age.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Is It kind of surreal because to me, I don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: even I barely remember.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Right, I mean I barely remember this morning. These days,
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: the peri metopostal brain fog is really really kicking in.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: It's super fun. But you know, going back and watching
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the show is so much fun because I never watched
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: it growing up. I haven't watched these episodes, so you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: it brings back. It's like watching an old home movie
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: that you haven't seen in a really long time, it
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: brings back, you know, these memories, and I think as
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: an adult having the perspective, it's now it's like you
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: can sort of laugh with yourself. But you know, there's
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: that time in like your middle school teenage years when
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: you're just like mortified because oh my, I've got a
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: catchphrase and everyone knows it, you know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, because the show ended when you were
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: what thirteen or fourteen?
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: So I was thirteen and I was finishing eighth grade
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: that year, and then I went into I was going
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: into high school. So it was just kind of a
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: big shift time of shifting in general.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It was a lot.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: So I watched or listened to some of your podcasts,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and so how do you remember, Like is it a
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: memory that sparks? And because I can't, I mean, you're
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: not kidding about the brain fog, but I'm just saying,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: does it spark, like you remember like something and then
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you're able to talk about it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Well, things that happened in the past, I
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: can remember. It's the more recent things, No, I have, truly,
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: But I just I have so many it's like growing up,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Like they're all of my childhood memories, you know, like
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: they're all important things that you know. It's like, that
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: was the house I grew up in, and quote unquote
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: you know, it didn't have four walls or roof, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: that was the house I grew up in. And so
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: like I, you know, just I knew the ins and
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: out of everything on there.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And a lot of ways. It's got to be kind
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of cool to be able to see yourself through those
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: years and because you don't you can't remember it. But
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and for your kids to see that, your two daughters,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: do they ever have it?
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: What care?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: They don't really care.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: They watched maybe a couple episodes when they were younger,
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: but like Full House was not their thing. Uh they
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: were they were more into like Tim Burton and uh
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: like interesting like weird anime stuff like that when they
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: were little. But Full House they watched it and they're like, oh,
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: that's cool, can we watch what we wanted now?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Even when they came.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: To Fuller House, they were, you know, a little bit older,
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: and they would come on Friday nights to the tapings,
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: but they they didn't want to sit in the audience
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: and watch what was happening. They wanted to be backstage
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: hanging out with the kids on the show and eating
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: craft service.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: So absolutely our audience remembers this show really well. Do
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: you have a favorite one that you'd love to share
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: with us today?
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I know, there's so many, But I mean, is there
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: something that comes to mind that you always like to.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: There's so many, But I have to say, in recent watching,
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: we've now made it through like almost five complete seasons
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: of Full House. I love the Stephanie car in the
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: kitchen moment.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I just love it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: It's so good. It's such a great episode.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: There's so many good moments in it. There's such a
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: sweet moment at the end with Danny and staph like
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: and I think maybe that's also like we watched it
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: and it really just stuck with me again because it
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: was just such a sweet scene with me and Bob.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: But I mean, I love that episode and it's one
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: that I get from fans a lot, which is you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the car through the kitchen, because yeah, it was just outrageous.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, your career, so that's just you've done so
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: many things as we've looked for your career. Wow, you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: have been.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: We could jump all around.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, let's talk. But now so you're now
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: very involved in stand up, that's what your main focus is.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, we've been doing some stand up.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: I've been the kind of my pet project right now
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: is a show called Smoke Show with Sweeten, a comedy pageant,
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: and we're really building up our audience. We figured out
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: our streaming stuff and we're looking at that so that
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: we can start streaming it, you know, to anybody who
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: wants to watch.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Because not everyone is in LA.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: But it is so much fun and uh, I'm my
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: two friends produce it with me, Sabrina and Gia Cognata
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: and their sisters, and we just we pick the most outrageous,
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: inappropriate things to put comedians through, the weirdest beauty pageant
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: that you've ever seen. Yeah, it's it's just it's great
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: and we've gotten some great reviews.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Julie Seebah from who did all the comedy stuff at
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Ellie Times, has come every week and you know, she's like,
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: this is one of the best monthly shows. So that's
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: a huge compliment. But yeah, that's like moving more into comedy,
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: moving more into kind of writing, directing. Like I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: I still I love acting. I'd love to be able
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: to do. You know, there's a couple of projects that
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: I have a couple of scripts that trying to get
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: those off the ground that are a little bit different, darker,
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: you know, more.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Dramatic.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that brings me to dateless.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Am I going to get it wrong?
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: You know what? Dangerous?
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: There's a different title anyway, So I don't even know
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: what title they wound up, like you're changing it about
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: my seventeen year old son and dateless and dangerous.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: It's about in culs in cells.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Basically, it's about the radicalization of young men online. Oh
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: oh wow, which is a thing.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: It's a huge thing. It's a huge thing. And you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: I play a mom, uh to two teenagers.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Boy and a girl, and.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: You know, the the boy is really struggling with fitting
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: in and getting you know, girls, and you know he's
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: like an awkward kids like we all were, but he
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: is really involved kind of in gaming and starts getting
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: more and more in these kind of radicalized, misogynistic, violent
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: areas of the.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: Internet which we know exist. And then you know, Mom.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Is like, what has happened to you?
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: What is what's going on?
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: So yeah, it was I really enjoyed being able to
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: do something more dramatic, you know, Yeah.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: That's the that's the role I saw you play in there,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and I was like, Wow, she's going to get a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: hold this kid and we're gonna you know, right the ship.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, Well, what where do you prefer? Do you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: prefer comedy or do you prefer drama or And what
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: inspired you to like, you're seems like you're really into
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: comedy obviously that's been most of your career and non
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stand up, did you were surrounded by comedians? I mean
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: growing up? Is that did that inspire you? Or have
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you always been just like this naturally hilarious person who
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: had you know, You're you're just naturally funny, and so I.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Would like to think it's a combination of both.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: And I will say that that Bob, you know, he
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: always gave me one of the biggest compliments, which was,
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: you know, he told me.
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: He said, at five years old, you had better.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Comedic timing than most stand ups I'd ever seen as adults.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: And he really meant it, and he would say it
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: all the time and in interviews, and he you know, he.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Was like, you just you really got it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: So I think it was something that I was sort of.
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: I was very I was bright as a kid, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: I think comedy and wit, you know, the like it
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: requires the ability to kind of look at things and
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: see things and.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: You know, get the joke. And and I did at
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: a very early age.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: So, you know, growing up around two stand up comedians
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: as well as their friends who are also stand ups,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: and all this stuff, you know, I learned. I learned
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: a lot about comedy, and I learned a lot of inappropriate.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: Jokes, which, uh, which went over my head at the time,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: But now I.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Get like, wait, I've heard that a long time ago.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: So I have a quick question. You brought up, Bob,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: and so we'd love to have you know, it's so sad,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: but I also want to know a positive last memory
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: that you had with him, and you know what he
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: meant to you.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I know that's a loaded question, but you know what
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, yeah, yeah, he was.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: Very trying to remember the last time I had seen him.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: I believe we had been at Jeff's house, Jeff Franklin,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: our creator, and I believe it was for like a
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: barbecue or some Labor Day kind of holiday whatever. We
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: you know, we would get together for like family barbecues, and.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: We'd always go to Jeff's.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: Bob was always kind of the gatherer of the people,
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: and it would be like a family barbecue at Jeff's house.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: And you know, I just I have so many memories
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: of Bob and his laughter, Like I can hear his
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: laughter and I can hear I can hear him say
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: hey Joe, Like I just know, I know the sound
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: of his voice, and I can still hear it in
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: my head. Yeah, and you know, Bob was He was
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: a hugely influential part of my life. And you know, Bob,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: I have a very dark sense of humor. I think
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I kind of always did, but certainly being around you know,
• 14:54

• 15:05
  Speaker 6: go through losing their sisters and their parents, really horrible
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: battles with cancer and sclarederma, and they made jokes the
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: whole time, Jokes to their sisters, jokes to their family,
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: jokes like they just you they laughed at it because
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: it you know, otherwise it eats you alive.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what you know. Our tagline for our
• 15:25

• 15:28
  Speaker 1: because that's the kind of a mom thing. Yeah, so yeah,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we kind of we believe in that so that you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you That's.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Where my friend and I did a mom slash comedy podcast.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: It was I hate to.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: Call it like mom advice because it was probably everything
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: that you shouldn't do, right. It was really was her
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: and I and you know, it's called never thought I'd
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: say this, and it was just about all of the
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: things that like, as a mom, you're like, I never
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: I never thought that that sentence would have to leave
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: my mouth in regards to another human being.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: You know, totally. We don't lick the toilet, lit.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: I you'd think that, like humans know that, but when
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: they're little, they don't know that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I'd like to say, I run
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: like a really tight ship wreck.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: That's what I like to say, because yeah, we're like
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: little pirates over here, yeah, complete with sailor mouths.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: So it's I.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Don't think people know that you have two daughters and
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: they're teenagers.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I do, seventeen and fifteen.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: And how do you how do you talk to them
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: about like working full time and doing it all and
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: juggling like today, you know you were so you had
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: to make a shift or right left.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I'm better at balancing things and sometimes I'm not.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I can be present with them and more focused,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: and sometimes I'm you know, away shooting a movie for
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: three and a half four weeks, and you know, I've
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: got to They have to be kind of independent.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have their dads in their lives. I don't.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: They're not like not off on their own.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: But you know, they have seen me go through relationship
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: breakups and you know, not having any money and you know,
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: and figuring it out and driving a car that somebody
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: gave me and just to make sure that I could
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: get to a job that you know, I was making
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: ten bucks an hour at and I was fine with.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Like watching they have watched me do all.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: Of those things, and I would like to think that
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: they you know, it's hard to be a mom and
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: a working mom. We all, you know, we know that
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: there's no there is no balance. People say, how do
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: you balance it all? You're like, I don't, But I
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: would like to think that the moments that I wasn't
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: there that I did have to show up for something
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: that I love to do, that's important to me, that's
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: my career. I hope that my girls saw that not
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: as something that was more important than them, but as something.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: That they should do too. That we all.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Need fulfilling lives because they're all all can have that,
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: whether you're a mom like that's okay. We had an
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: amazing you know nanny and my grandparents or my parents,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: and you know that you call in the village and
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: you help, and I just always hope that my daughter
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: saw that there was nothing that ever held me back.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Well, we have a real quick question at the top
• 18:21

  Speaker 1: to the Mom's Club. Hi, zoomer mom. Hi ladies. Well,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I want to introduce each one of you and introduce yourself.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about yourself, and do you
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: have a question for Jody. Let's start with Janine.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Jeanine, wellcome to the Mom's Club.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Hi, it's good to see you. Thank you for having
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: me today.
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: Absolutely the question that I have, and it's about all
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: of our busy lives and when you're pulled in so
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: many directions and responsibilities and children and work and philanthropies
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: all of that, sometimes it's hard to squeeze in the
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: time that you need to take care of you and
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: to feel grounded through habits or routines. Can you share
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: some of your thoughts about having some habits and routines
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: that kind of keep your head screwed on straight.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: So this year, like early in the year, I started
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: really having this moment of like I feel untethered, like
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: you were talking when you're just so busy and you're like,
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: I can't. I feel like I'm trying to catch up
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: with my own thoughts and my own life and you're
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: like kind of racing after yourself almost.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: I realized, Okay, I need to take some time in
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: the morning and really slow down, even if it's ten minutes.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: And I started this journaling practice, and then I found
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: this journal company. It's a woman owned South Asian woman
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: owned company called Silken Sounder, and it's a monthly journal thing,
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: and it is it's a combination of like bullet journaling
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: for your day so you can kind of write everything out,
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: and also like there's a theme of the month like
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: resiliency or you know, acceptance or whatever. And then in
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: the journals there's also like little questions for you to
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: reflect on and there's like a ten minute thing each morning.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: So I have really in this year made it a
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: huge priority for me.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: And I can't tell you how.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: Just that ten minutes and literally like writing down my
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: day even though it's in my phone, right it down
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: somehow feels like, Okay, I can manage this. This is
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: really actually not that bad, Like this is this is doable.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: Sometow times in my phone it's like there's so many
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: lines and I'm.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Like, oh god, it's too much.
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: But I really think like finding a practice for five
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: or ten minutes, even if it's in your car, h
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: whatever it might be, find something that works for you
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: and try and stick with it for more than ninety days.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: Be really religious about it for the first ninety days,
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: because that's about how long it takes to have, you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: build habits and h and I it is. It's really
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: changed my life, my mental health.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I highly reck I agree, that's great journey in the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: morning time for sure. Danny is Janine's daughter, so we're
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: her mother daughter oriented here, welcome to the mom's club.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little about your itself and do you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: have a question for Jodie.
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: Yes, and good to meet you. I'm a huge fan.
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: I feel like I've grown up with you, but you
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: do not know me.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: It's always a bit interesting.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: You know, people grew up with me, but I have
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: no idea exactly.
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: And it seems like you have lived so much, so
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: much life on off the screen, and you've dipped your feet,
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: your toes into a lot of different areas.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I'm curious for you.
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: Who have been your greatest support systems or what have
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: been your support systems and why.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's a great question. Oh man.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, my parents have always supported me and you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: loved me, and like have always just wanted the best
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: But I will say.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: As i've gotten like in my thirties and forties even
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: a little earlier than that, but I really have found
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: a great group of women that I surround myself with.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: And I was talking about this the other day about how,
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: you know, I think we're told that girls can't get
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: along or that we you know, we're mean to each
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: other or whatever, and so there's this weird stigma I
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: think that carries on even into your twenties about like
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: who to trust and how to trust women. And you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: once I really got over that, I have I have
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: sisters that I've been friends with for you know, fifteen
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: sixteen years now that have seen my kids in the
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: you know, hospital, over FaceTime like that. That are just
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: a part of my life and I couldn't do it
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: without them.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: And I also have.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: A really badass female team of a manager, publicist, social
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: media person like I have an all female team, which
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: I didn't pick it necessarily that way, but man, let
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: me tell you, those women have supported So Joe, do
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: you have a Mom's Club?
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: You're gonna start chapter here, because speaking what this.

• 25:57

  Speaker 2: Thank you?
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: Yes, Christy Pruitt Haynes from Nashville, Tennessee. Hello, And so
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: I am on sort of the other side of mother ring.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: I'm an empty nester, which took a lot to get
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: used to. I literally wrote a book about it to
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: try and process all of this. But knowing that you're
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: getting to that point your girls are getting older, how
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: are you preparing for that kind of transition? And or
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: have you even thought about that yet? And what do
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: you feel like is sort of next as you start
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: moving towards that new phase of mothering.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, it's interesting because you know, both
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: my girls have two different doubts from two different marriages.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Because you know, I'm saying I was busy.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know which one one baby Daddy wasn't enough
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: I had to get to.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: If at first you don't succeed, try try.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: Try to try again, and then if you don't succeed
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: again and whatnot, enjoy for the next eighteen Ye no, no,
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: you know, my girls they've always gone back and forth
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: between me and their dads, even when they were younger.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: My older daughter her dad and my split when she
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: was around six months old, and my younger daughter her
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: dad my split when she was about.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Three, and they.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Have they had kind of gotten used to the routine
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: of going back and forth between here and dads. So
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: I get there's these moments of like, Okay, this is
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: it's just me. I've got to fit in, like all
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: the stuff that I want to do on you know,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: this weekend or whatever, especially when they were little. Now
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: they don't care about you know what I mean, unless
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: I'm providing money. But your story yeah, you know, I think.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: I also.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: I've also made it a priority, particularly raising two young women,
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: to raise really independent young women, not who are are
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: so closed off and I can do it all myself,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: but who know that no matter what, they can get
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: up after falling down and keep going and try again.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: And so I'd like to think that sort of this
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: next phase. And you my older one is kind of there.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: She's like looking for jobs and she's decided she wants
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: to go to you know, community college first and then
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: transfer into you She's but like she's got a plan. Yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: she told me, you know, the other day she's got
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: a plan. And then her car broke down. She's like,
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: here's what I'm gonna do. Looked everything up. She's got
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: a plan. And I'm like, oh yeah, oh my.

• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Well, that's right, and that's it's you know. But I
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: I think that I'm actually really excited for this next phase,
• 28:49
