  Speaker 1: going back to Broadway.

  Speaker 2: Broadway to you know, basically I have unfinished business, right,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: so I'm returning to Broadway to complete those shows.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, COVID shutdown, well really two weeks before my contract
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: was over. But this time I'm doing three limited weeks.

  Speaker 2: We need to pod from New York City. You need
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to come and we can have a nice time, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: also too, if you'll remember like I did not meet
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: your daughter Dove until like a few weeks ago, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: it was five years ago. Think about your life five
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: years ago, everything that's trans I mean that's happened to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you five years ago, everything that's happened to me five
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: years ago, and the planet. I'm not leaving anybody. Yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: but think about how life has changed so much since
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: exactly five years ago.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Going back and doing Chicago again, are there things that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you're going to change?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Are there things that still to this day you're like, gosh,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I wish you would have done that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: And I was on the phone this morning with Greg Butler,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: who's the choreographer who gets all the Roxy's ready. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: there's a very cool article you can read about it
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: was just published like two days ago, about Greg getting
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: all of the Roxy's ready. I said to him, you know, Greg,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: this run of shows, I really want to be present,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So I want to make sure that I calumb over
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: all the choreo. I'll go over all the musical stuff,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: all the notes, all the vocals, so that I can
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just be so present on stage and have a good
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: time and really enjoy being Roxy.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Does that mean that that's something I mean, this is
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the topic that we're going to bring up today, which
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is resilience. Yes, the actual definition is the capacity to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties, toughness. We as
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: your friends or we as the audience, however you want
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to look at. It had no idea everything that you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: were going through when you were roxy.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: No, it was falling apart fast. And that's not it
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: was true like there was. I mean it was rough.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It was so rough, and you know, Tom never came
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to a show and everything.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I remember Andy asked that, yes, and while.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: What people don't realize now, and I don't want to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: stay on this too long because we've got other people
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to talk about, but my life was falling apart day
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: by day in Los Angeles as I did eight shows
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a week in New York City, and then COVID came
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and then everybody's life burned down around them. So it
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was just it was nuts. I was holding all of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: that inside well.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I even remember thinking, like, when I came to see
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you in your dressing room, how strong certain like actors,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: especially stage actors, have to be because you're in a small,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: little dressing room for hours and hours like and so
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: especially if you're going through something I can't imagine, like.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: That's well, the show kept me busy and kept me
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: mentally present, you know, kind of how like you're working now,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: just keeps you super focused. But without that, I mean,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I really don't know what would have happened. It was rough,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad it's over.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Is there anyone that didn't come to the show that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you hope can make it to this round?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah? There's, yeah, there is. There's a couple people that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I know that are coming that I'm really excited about.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited. And congratulations.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Thank you, Thank you to everybody
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: who wished me well, all of the nice little moments
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on social media, Thank you so much. It really means
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a lot. You know, you get inspired, you you feel good,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and especially when some people around you said it'd never
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: happen again.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so there you go.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And I think I watched the documentary on Pamela Anderson.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, who also was rock She was roxy too,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and now she's up for a Golden Glove. And I mean,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: have you seen the last show Girl? I have not,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: but I understand it's really good.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I have loved I loved her book. I loved her story.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I loved her for years, for years, But I think
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: she's also a true testament of somebody with resilience.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, she is, like she has you know, so are
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you well? I mean I think if you're in this
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: business and you're sticking around, you're resilient.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But I think we everybody loves to judge, and so
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: watching Pamela Anderson back in her you know, bay Watch
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: days and Tommy Lee days and all of that, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just now how she's just like a beacon of like, listen,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to wear a makeup good for her, but.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: She's earned the right not to. That's what's so cool
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: about it. I mean, pam is and I don't know her,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: but like Diana knows her, and everybody that I know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Greg loves her. Everybody do you know her?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know her well, I've only like hung around her,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: not enough to people really like her.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's nice to see her have her her
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: whole resurgence yeah, on her own terms.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, on her own terms, and also be able to share.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I think that sometimes people think, like oh, to be resilient,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: or to be talented, or to be successful. You don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: have moments that you regret or things that you're ashamed of. No,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that's the whole fucking point.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: The whole point is to be knocked down, shake it off,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and get back up. And of course you have terrible moments.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: This is called life. And everybody fucks up. That's just
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the truth. You know, everybody fucks up.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Everybody fucks up, and then everybody is going to have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: some amazing some of their best times ever.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Then, know what, You're gonna fuck up again, and you're
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: gonna fuck up again. You're gonna get knocked down again.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You're gonna pick yourself back up again. And that's life.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It's the fact. What makes you resilient is that you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: get back up. Yeah, and you are still engaged in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the game of life. And that is something that I'm
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: very proud of you. I'm very proud of you. And
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you got some ways to go, but you're gonna have
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: some really good wins.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: The holidays are gonna make it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: We'll get into holiday stuff later, but that's definitely going
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to add another level.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Of Yeah, it's sadness and it's stressed.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but somebody else in the public eye who I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: think has shown a lot of resilience, as Kelly clarkson.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, do you know I saw this woman say
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: she sounds better live than on the fucking record. That
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: woman's voice is a gift from God above, like and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it is a gift from God above.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And so is her personality. She's a sweet person, she's.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Funny, she can be self deprecating. I think she has
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a good heart, Like her kids go to my kids'
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: school like a nice kid and they're like, she's great.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But she says she has no regrets moving to New
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: York City for a fresh start.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Good for her.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It was the best decision for her.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: She put her happiness first when she moved to New
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: York after years in Los Angeles. So let me rephrase
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: her kids used to go to my kids right, people
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: will go now they didn't you move New York whatever?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You know what alone, you know what we meant.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: After years in Los Angeles, Kelly packed up her life
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: with two young children and headed to the Big Apple,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: taking her hit talk show with her. The move to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: New York City was a fresh start for her that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: she has never regretted. The Insider says she had not
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: been happy in Los Angeles for a while, but was
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: still nervous about moving. It was the best decision for her,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: though they thrive as a fan.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Isn't that wonderful because you know that it's like imagine
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: leaving a talk show, well not leaving, but taking it
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: with you. It's not like they just say, oh, yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: let's pack up and move to New York. That's not
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, even though Kelly.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: A really damn good at your job, for them to go, okay, yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Sure, roots up and then just go play, you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: across the East Coast and then taking your kids out
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of school, yeah, and moving completely somewhere new in the city. Listen, say,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: New York City's tough. I know I lived there. She's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: not for the week. And it's a big thing to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: take your kids, move them across all the way to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the East Coast, take your show, move it over there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And I haven't, to be perfectly honest, I haven't loved
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: what her ex husband has said and done to her.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who he is.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I know that he makes a lot of money
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: from being.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Mister Kelly Clarkson.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Ow, And to me, I'm like.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Kelly, you know, I'm happy or happy. Yeah you get that, dude.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Well it got renewed for season seven by NBC Universal,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: so it comes very clear that she is thriving.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: See, there's life after all of these things. Yeah, got
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to just stick it out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Her show averages is a one point two million viewers
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: per day and increase from the fall twenty twenty three
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: and consistently ranks as one of the top syndicated talk shows,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: which for people that aren't like talk shows used to
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: be everything.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Well, now there's so much content or media however you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: want to say it like to get there or to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: get that rating is still big.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That's huge because think about how many talk shows no
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: longer exist.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Well there aren't Anny, and how big they used to had, Oprah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Phil Donah, Sally, I Love Me Some, Mauri Montel, Williams, Montell, Jenny, Jenny,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Ricky Lake, Jenny Jones, who know that was Sally, Jesse,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Raphael but the Glasses, Joan Rivers, everybody had a talk show.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: This is something I am a little curious about.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, the kids wanting to date, the kids not wanting
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: her to date.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: She says she's very satisfied with life, loves being a mom,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and she's fine, Uh with not dating because their kids
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: don't want her to. I want to ask one question,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: go ahead, is she getting it in?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: We'll see that. Only she can answer that, right, Do
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you think that there's a difference, Like, yeah, there's a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: very big difference.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Oh. I think there's a difference too.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But like the question though, is does she mean dating
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like introduce them to a party?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Oh no, my mother never did that. My mother never
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: had a man sleepover. And my mother never introduced me
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to anybody she was quote dating, And I am very
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: grateful for that. It's the one thing she did, right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Would did she ever get remarried?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: No? I mean she married the same man twice who
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: was my stepfather who adopted me, So she fucked that up.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But the one thing she did do after all that
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: was she never brought anybody else home again. So I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: am grateful for that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, So I think that Kelly could be
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: hanging out with I mean, I have well, and that's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: her private life.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: But introducing someone to your children is a big deal.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Someone brought me brand new to your kids.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: That's not happening unless I would For me, I would
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: think that was someone really quality that I thought there
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: was a possibility of having a real relationship with otherwise,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: like I'm bringing some stray home.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I mean I think that, well, am I talking like
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: a dude?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we talk about you the way you talk
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: about us, Sonny. Let me tell you. Oh wait a minute,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: So this just in, this just in. Someone in our
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: group here told us that, well, Matt told us he
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: used to wait tables and that Kelly tipped one hundred
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: percent of the bill.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: All the time.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's generous, that is and that is classy, and that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: shows that you have appreciation for what somebody else is doing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And where you come from. Yes, this remember this was
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: a young woman from Texas, right yeah, and with a
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: with a big gift from American Idol right to She's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: still here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: She's still here, and she's better than ever.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Oh the Martha Stewart Dot.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: You guys, if you have not watched Martha.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Please do. I mean I've watched, but I need to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: sit down and really digest it. But I love it
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: that Martha says she needs a part too, because part
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: one just didn't it wasn't enough.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Martha's not lacking and confidence.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Martha is a motherfucker. The best way possible.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And then watching it, I was like got a
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: little bit confused about like did she really need to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: go to jail?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Well, Martha can tell you, Oh you think she's going
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: to be on Hey Martha, do you know I have
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a picture I would give anything. She'd probably cuss us
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: out and I'd love it. So I have one of
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: my cherished pictures is myself and Martha and Wendy Williams
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: on either side of me, the three of us together.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: We went to a fashion show in New York. It's
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: just so good where legends it's that my camera roll.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I was waiting for you to be like three legends,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: three icons.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: No, No, I'm surrounded by icons on either side. I'll
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: have to find that pick. But we were at the
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Blonds fashion show. It was a few years ago in Manhattan,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, and Martha was like hello Erica. Whendy's
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: like oh hey, and I no.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: No, that Martha knows your name. You're doing something right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Not really, she was introduced. I you know, oh hi,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: she It's not like she knows my name. And Wendy
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, hey, you're that girl, and so you know.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, Well we got to a big judge to position.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: When we talk about the Martha Stewart documentary versus the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Wendy Williams one.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: I know that one like breaks my heart breaks for Wendy,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: But I think that also shows the difference between when
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: you have control over your own.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, Wendy's sick, Wendy's not well, Martha's Yeah, they're going
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: through two different things in my opinion. Yeah, Wendy's not well,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you can't you can't judge. Yeah, I wasn't
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: really judging, no, like I was balance them. I'm sure
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: if Wendy was well, she'd be fighting like a motherfucker. Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: But I think when you watch Wendy's store, you see
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the amount of years, but it just yeah, it was hard.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: But I think that Martha is a true testament to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Martha is a bad ass.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to figure it out, and I'm going to
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: do this.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Not only am I going to figure shit out, I'm
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: gonna like dominate. Yeah, and I don't know, you know.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: And her relationship with Snoop Dogg, which is so if
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you look at that you'd be like, oh, wow, that's
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: an unexpected friendship.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: But I guess they really are tight, which I love well,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: she seems like the type of person if she.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Likes you, she likes you right, and she doesn't she
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: has no problem telling you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: That, yeah, or just not speaking to you. Both are good.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Both are fine.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: What is your favorite method of if somebody is not
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: for you? Would you rather just kind of ic them
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: out or would you rather be like, hey, I know
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: we run.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I don't say anything. Yeah, you don't exist. Yeah, I'm
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: one of these people that's just like you're deleted from
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: my experience on this planet and it doesn't really matter.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Well what do you do?
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I'm an overthinker? Are you overthinker? Yeah? Like I will
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: replay something like, well we.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: All do that. But I'm asking like, if you don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: like someone, do you tell them or do you just I.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Think it depends on how close I was with the person.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Like if somebody wronged.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Me, well, that's different. That's sticking up for yourself. Yeah,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: but I think I hit my limits.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what I'm not one of those ones that's like,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: oh this time, Like it's like once it's done, it's done.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not. I am not a dabbler.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think that you.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it may take.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Me a while to get there in any relationships or
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: friendships or whatever the situation is.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: But then strangers, like if the stranger's an asshole to me, then.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: No nobody that you don't get my energy for that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like, I don't care. I don't care
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: about that. Is it hard for you to.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Show resilience in this time in your life? I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit hard because you don't want to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: be thought of as being mean.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Because then people are like, ah, well, you must be
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: fucking nice to be feeling good and blah blah blah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Like I don't feel good all the time, and I
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: try to show that there's highs and lows, like I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: try to find the good parts of my life, like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: with the kids, with what you were with whatever. But like, yes,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: of course there are moments like yesterday was great. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: got the pinjury, put me up in that room, like
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it was really nice.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: It was like this beautiful.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Staycation, Like loved it.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: It made a nesting experience fun because normally, you know,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, and she's out of town or
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: so and So's house and I'm but I was able
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to just like have a moment and I didn't. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: didn't feel sadel like. I felt good. I watched shows.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I got a massad like it was nice. That being said,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I'm already starting to think about like New Year's Eve
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: with the kids, Like.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: What do you do normally?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: It's like, do you have them?
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I have them for New Year's ey Oh my gosh.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You gotta watch Anderson and Andy and order in. I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: know what I do every year, and I text Andy,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: are you going to drink this year?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I need I need him to drink.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: He said.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: He was cheer.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry if I exposed up, but he said
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: it was gonna be good, so I expect it to be.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I said, if Anderson could get hit in the head
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: with that palm tree in a hurricane, you can have
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a cocktail. And I mean that. And I don't care
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: what those CNN people say at them. We need a show, CNN,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: we need it.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And then they start, I like when they drink and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: then they start bickering, or when Anderson's still trying to
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: micromanager Andy.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It's so good. The sheer terror on Anderson's face as
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Andy takes shots makes me so happy.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: It's so good. It's just because I love a micromanager.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Well you are a micro manager, So I love it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: So I love to see when other people do it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Like it starts with like the hand touch, like right,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and then you know, and then you start mouthing the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: words you actually want them to say.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Right, or this this camera, there's a camera.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: This will be everywhere tomorrow.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: But meanwhile, that's the part when Andy cussed out Mayre
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: de Blasio. It was It's so epic. It's just a yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just it was brilliant. I really
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: need another moment like that, and CNN get off Andy's
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: case for that shit. He brings you ratings. Otherwise I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: would not be stuck at home watching this. Yeah, the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: pleasure giving us something to do, right, we're here, I mean,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: who watches the news for the New year'sit? We Dick
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Clark's Rock and Eve.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: No, we want good stuff, and part of that is
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: getting loose, getting a little loose, like especially as I'm
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be drinking grape cider with my kids.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You know what I used to do with my son
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: is do that with the Martinelli's spark. Yeah, I love
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: it that way. You know, they think that they're doing
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: something big. Yeah, and they're not.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not. I'm not that cool. We do
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: do East Coast New Year's.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Oh so you're in bed by twelve, we're in bed

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, Well you need to do no thing. I'm watching
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Anderson and Andy. This is my yearly thing. What do

  Speaker 2: you think I'm gonna put on some dress and get
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: out there. No, I am staying in my living room.

• 19:15
  Speaker 2: this costume. I have to start rehearsals, so I oh, yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: you start. So you need to relax a little bit.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: But I think I think the thing that's hard about
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: showing resilience, and I think you know the same, is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: people take it as you not caring.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: And you know what I'm saying, that's to.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Say, you know, you don't care.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: You're a terrible human. How could you be this way?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: It's like, guys, I'm trying to protect myself and pick
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: myself up. I'm sorry if I don't show it in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: a way that you a understand or be appreciate or
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: so you just want to be a dick and Jon yeah,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's it's I think all women, unfortunately,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: we get held to a bit of a different standard.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: If you're just trying to pick yourself up, there's no
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: right way to do it, You're going to offend someone,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: which is well, you cannot care.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is why I'm really trying not to care.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: You have you can't, and I'm just trying to care

  Speaker 2: said at the top of this show, the last five
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: years for you and I've just been fucking insane. Here's
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: you know what, cheers to us for a peaceful calm
• 21:46

  Speaker 3: as peaceful? Yeah, I don't believe you.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: You have to start changing your mind. I'm telling you
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: all this neuroscience stuff the way you think you We're
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: gonna have to have a real sit down and I'm
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: gonna have to convince you that your words and your
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: thoughts are gonna be your future. So you cannot say
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: that even in joking, Okay.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Just because what would you say was your biggest aha moment.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: To create that?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Like, because there was, in lack of a better word,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: when you were kind of getting it on the show.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you were angry. I've been angry for years. You
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: know what my friend Mikey said to me. He said,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you know, Andy said, you know, Eric is much lighter
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: because well, yeah, Erica, you've been fighting for the last
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: four years, and even before that, you were fighting to
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: hold up the walls of a marriage that was crumbling.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: So they've never really known you as who you really are.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It's always been in a state of decline and then destruction.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So I'm sorry, what was your question?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You're like, shit, hold on, no, but what was that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: moment that you were like, Okay, I'm I'm I'm gonna
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: switch off that anger button. I mean, of course it's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: always gonna come up, but like I did see like
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a shift in you as your friend that I was like, okay.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Well I just stuck it out in therapy. I don't
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: know that it was. It was it was a choice
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: every day to make incremental steps towards being less angry
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: or less reactive. I guess, yeah, and not to respond,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: but to think about how I should respond and not
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: allow my emotions or what my therapist calls part X
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: run the game, you know, to step back and say,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: hold on, what I'm feeling right now? Is me being
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: reactive to a situation? Like is does this really call
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: for that? And nine times out of ten the answer
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: is no, it doesn't.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: You did say something last week on the pod. You said, well,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I or maybe it was on the show. I don't
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: even know, but you're like, well, yeah, I've been diagnosed
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: with things. I'm happy to share what I've been dying

• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you really OC?
• 23:53

• 23:57
  Speaker 2: be much.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: No, but mine, sadly, mine is an about things being clean.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It's about like lists.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Oh well I can give you something. Let me give
• 24:05

  Speaker 3: I have a note pad and then I also.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Have Can we count between that and being organized? I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: mean that just sounds like something I would want to be.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: You want to be until it like keeps you up
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: at night?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Well, how many lists do you? Is it something that
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: you keep making these your list over and over the.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Same list like one little thing?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: What are you looking for when you make it over?
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Is it a SLFE change?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Like something something small will change where somebody could maybe
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: like just and I'm like no, wow, well gotta go
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: by this way as long as I can remember.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so from the time you really so.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: When do you think that your anxiety and depression started
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: with when you.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it started when I was little. But
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I have my first anxiety attack at thirty years old,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: and I remember what it was because I had to
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: go to the hospital. This was long before I was
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: on TV or anything. I had taken a medication. I
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: had had food poisoning, like really bad food poisoning, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I took this medication to make you stop vomiting. So
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: fan yeah, and just for me, I had a massive
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: anxiety attack and I didn't know what it was. I
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: thought I was dying, and it was everything that you think.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: It is, elevated heart rate, you're shallow breathing. And I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: remember being in the emergency room in this very nice
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: older doctor looked at me and he goes, you're having
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: an anxiety attack. And I literally said to him, I'm sorry,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: what is that excuse? I don't I don't know what
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: that is, and he's like okay. And so from there,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of course, I shoved it under the rug because Tom
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: told me, you know what, do you have to be anxiety?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: You know you aren't too happy, look at those place
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: like look at your life. You don't reason you have
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: no anxiety. It's wrong with you. So I as if
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: anxiety is a choice, well exactly, which I didn't know.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And I was too young to understand an abba k
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: for myself and to an experienced end of it, you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: So I shoved it under the rug and under the
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: rug and under the rug. And then, if you'll recall
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I've shared this before before my marriage blew up like
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: in the worst way, you know, I used to uh
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: secretly go to therapy because yeah, because I wasn't allowed
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: to go to therapy because he, well, something's wrong with you, right,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: something's wrong.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: With me or something sharing something about him.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Or something was wrong with our marriage, or something was
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: wrong with he didn't do enough, so it was insulting
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: to him that I would have to go get help.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: But when it had nothing to do with him, he
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: took it personally as if havn't I provided enough for you?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Are you not happy with this life? But the whole
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: time it had nothing to do with him and everything
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: to do with me. It was unresolved childhood shit and
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of other stuff. So that's my story,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: and that's why doctor Jen has been so important to me.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: And when I was fifty, so I'm fifty three now.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I remember when I turned fifty, I said, I'm here
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: to drop off fifty years of bullshit and I'm going
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: full in on this therapy thing.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I've learned a lot in therapy too, Like there's
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: been moments that I take personally. Yeah, like like my
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: relationship with money, for example.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a big one we talk about in therapy, like.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I will unfreaking hinge me.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: But it does everybody? I asked my therapist. I asked
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: doctor gin, I said, does everybody have this? She goes,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: everybody has their own unique relationship to money.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, I think it was because
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: my mom had a lot of money and then you know,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I lost it all and I saw that happen.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: So I am such a certain way about that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: So that and then if anybody talks about like my
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: relationship with my mom.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Is that a self side, I can't take it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I cannot take it.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: That's okay, And it's it really it's coming up in
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: therapy because you know when you talk about things back
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and forth, and I feel myself even getting defensive with
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the therapist.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: That's normal, by the way, Like that's very normal.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Like she's she must not be hearing what I'm saying.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: That's very normal, by the way. And it's you trying
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: to rationalize and yeah, but you know what, the more
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: you the fact that you recognize that you're doing that
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: will help you overcome it. It's a long road because
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: it took a long way to get here. Yeah, it's
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: gonna take a long way to get back. But just
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: stay in it. You'll you'll appreciate it later. Listen, I
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: rage on my mom on the television show I Am
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: so mean to my mom. And does she deserve it? No?
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: But does she deserve it?
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Most?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I think, yeah, she' all don't see the way
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: she treats me. But that ain't write either. Yeah, you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: but that ain't write either.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, none of it's always right. We
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: can't always have it. Okay, when you think Bravo celebrities
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: who show resilience, clearly we can't say ourselves or Temera
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: or Kyle or one of the like obvious choices choices
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: of our friends.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, one outside of the box.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: That's outside of our box. Here, who you got?
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Uh? One?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I got?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: This is probably not going to be a popular It
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter if it's popular. You just have to admire
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: the resilience. I would say, la la kent Yep, it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: just tough.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, there are times which I hate using this word
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: because you guys love to use it against me. There's
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: times where her accountability is askew. But what I think that,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, she stands
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: up for her ship.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And it may maybe maybe not in the moment, which
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think we all have the capability of doing.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: But I think she always comes back around yeah and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: does it.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: And I think she's been through a lot.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: She's been through a lot, she's and she's grown a lot,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: and she has a lot. She she's on the right track.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Like she gets a hard.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: She gets a hard. Yeah.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Those girls in Jersey are tough. Man.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I would say Dolores Catania.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: She's sweet like, but she's fun. She's f those women
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: because they all have different things going on. I don't
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: know the New York girls, so I know the older
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: New York girls.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, can I ask you a question? Yeah? I mean,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I guess this has nothing to do with resilience. But
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: would you be mad? Okay, So we're sitting together. Let's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: pretend we're both married, Okay, and we're talking about one
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: of our husband's penises.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you made a joke like about my potential
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: husband's penis and I showed you a picture of it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, too far, too far, too far.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I don't need to know. I also don't want to
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: know about your husband's penis size. Now, if you're dating somebody,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I'll be like, oh girl, what's what's going on? Yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: but your husband, Like, that's not a place for me.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: That's actually a good point that I didn't think of.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: That's not a place.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Funny thing if you're in the early stages and we're
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: girl talking, but like, once you're married, you have kids,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and you have all that.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: It's just I don't need to know. It's none of
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: my business. But that's me, you know. I don't need
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: to know about what you're doing in the bedroom. I
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: don't need to know about that stuff. Now, if you
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: want to show me like oh gosh, Erica, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: or if I came to how about this better? I
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: came to you and I said look at this, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: you were like, oh wow, and I said, yeah, you know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: because when you're single and you're out there, it's completely
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: different than if you're married.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: That's not that would you send a nude to who?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: You know, if you were like texting with a guy, yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: with your face in or out? Probably out Yeah, I
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: don't think it. I don't need that out there.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I don't think so.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: No, well so you haven't really given us.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Don't crack my phone.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Don't let me guess your code.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: No, I can't so encrypted. You never will. Even the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: government doesn't know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Even even the government, Uh, you know, I need the
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: government government on my side?
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: What there on? No one's side.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, what's up with those fucking drones in Jersey?
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Not just the drones and Jersey, what's up with the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: fucking cars. I was in Beverly Hills the other day

  Speaker 3: Guess what what? Someone got my number when I was there?
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I know? This is crazy.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: So a guy comes phone number.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: So I didn't ask me for the number. He asked

  Speaker 1: Justin Sylvester the lady, and he gave it.

• 32:37
  Speaker 1: But I didn't text back fast enough to say no,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not actually interested in this particular person. So he
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: just gave out and the numbers knew by the way,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: so very very few people have this number.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I have it, but I need and listen.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I'm never gonna call out this person, but I need
• 32:54

• 38:34
  Speaker 2: always had a really big dinner and then the family
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: would exchange gifts, meaning my aunts, my uncles, everybody came over.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: It was a great dinner, and then you went home.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Santa Claus came the next morning. That's always great. But
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: then you went back to my grandmother's for lunch and
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: we saw everybody again. So that was probably the coolest thing.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: The lights were on. My grandmother used to make all
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: her own well made her own bows, and we would
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: wrap and so like a whole thing. It was a
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: big deal.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: What about you, Well, when I'm in Indiana, I would say,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: it's it's similar. We're on Christmas Day. We all go
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: to my grandpa's. Who's like, I.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Mean, how old is Richard? Now ninety?
• 39:14

• 39:23
  Speaker 1: ninety two year old version. And I mean he has
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: six kids.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Your dad is one of six?

• 39:33
  Speaker 1: away and then they have all their kids and like
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: every year, I mean we have it like that. Every
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: year we've ever gone where we all sit on the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: stairs like and take and take a pick.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: And then all the kids.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: So it's just really metamorphosed into like now only the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: babies fit on the staircase so many of you.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: And we play a family football game. We do that.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I've seen that online.

  Speaker 3: can tell you a funny one.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, So one year I said, Tom, you know what
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I want for Christmas is a toolbox. And I literally
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: meant like this little thing I saw at home depot,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: which was a hammer, and you know, cause you need
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: like a screwdriver and a hammer at a big house,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: so the finials on the doors. So I just wanted that.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: This man went to see you. I know, he didn't
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: do it. His driver did it, and bought me an
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: automotive car tool set from snap On Tools. And it
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: weighed a thousand pounds and he's like, look, I got
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: the biggest one. I said, Tom, this is for cars, like,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: I don't change oil like, I'm not a mechanic, and
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: he literally looks at me. We cried for fifteen minutes.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: It was funny. I said, I just wanted the little.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Like thing to do the house.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I asked for the top of the line. I said, Tom,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: I am not a mechanic. That shows you how disconnected
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: the man was. He was just like Jose go, go,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: go and get Erica some tools and he said okay,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: went to Sears and came back with snap on tools
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: and it was literally rapped and the shit was heavy
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: and it was wrapped up under the tree.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: What's that home improvement? And that's what I'm picturing now? Yeah, Well,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I just want what about you?
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: What I mean, Tom, God bless you, My God got
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: the man truly was checked out and got me an
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: automotive toolkit. I do not do oil changes.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Edwin was more like a Stacker gift type of person like,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: and I didn't mind it. It would be like I
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: am going to do something for your anniversary, this, this,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: and it all kind of became one bigger gift that No,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that is what he did, which.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Is just once a year you and what was it?
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: It would depend like on the situation.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Which here's what I started saying, which was please at
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: least like write me a letter or something.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't you send me a card or like
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: have the.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Kids get me little things with drawing?
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: But a Starbucks give?
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: I mean I was.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I hate something that just acknowledges the fact. Well, this
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: is a question.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I've gotten a bunch and now I need to ask
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you what this is not Christmas gifts? This is just
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: gifts or I don't know if a wedding ring is
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: considered a gift.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I don't. Oh you're a lawyer, I don't know.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Where is yours? When do you think, like do you
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: think people after I have to give it back?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: No? I think if you give someone a gift, that's it.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: I don't give with if I gave you something, I
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: gave it to you, I don't.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: But would you ever wear it again?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think. So.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's discuss a little self care during the holidays.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: How do you treat yourself when you have time off?
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Ah?
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, how do I treat myself when I have time off?
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you to ask you a question?
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Because when Andy asks what she always does, which
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: it really irritates some housewives, and some housewives just answer
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: very authentically when he asks about plastic surgery. Yeah, I've
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: noticed you will sometimes get annoyed. Yeah, but then when
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: we're talking about it, like even on the show, like
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: you're fine with it.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the way you ask me, okay, yeah, because
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think that it requires an answer. If I
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: volunteer the information, if I want to share it, I
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: should be able to share it because at the end
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: of the day, it's like my choice to do so, right.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, what is your thought when somebody lies about it?
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Like if somebody said to.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Me, I don't care, you wouldn't care, but I would
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: feel weird lying about having a necklift, like to me,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: like I had one, yeah, and I've been very open
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: about it and my next significantly changed. I wouldn't want
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: to lie to people that follow me on Instagram or
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: anything and be like, oh, no, I was just doing this.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: But I think that No, but I think that's your choice.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think that everybody has to do that. Like
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: if I came in here with a facelift and you said, oh, Erica,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: did you have a facelift, and I go, yeah, I
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: had a facelift. Like it's I've said I've had a
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: nose job. I said, I've had it, you know my
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: boomstead No once, but twice I need to do it again.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: I'm too Should we get joint?
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know you're going to work as a deal.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Do we have to be on Instagram for these free tits?
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Yesh? We do free titch on the ground.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't know about that. Everybody got
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: their teeth done there.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know mine are there?
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Why was I not?
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: So?
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: What was the point of your question?
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: No, the point of the question was in regards to
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: self care or a surgery. How much do you think
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: somebody is required to share?
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I feel differently because now you're talking about somebody's health,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Like how much of that do you disclose? And I
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: know that you feel very differently about like even having melanoma,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: and you feel that way. But what if somebody had
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: melanoma they didn't want to.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Say anything, right, See, So it's a personal.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Choice, that's my point in making. So even if someone says,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: oh my god, it's so obvious you've had your nose done, Okay,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: but let that person tell you. Does that make sense?
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: What was the moment you decided I'm going to get
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: my nose done because you did it later in life?
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Right, I was in my forties. I didn't have botox
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: until I was in my forties.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: I mean I think I got botox in my early twenties.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: I did not.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: I got botox after I was forty forty one.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: So what was the I didn't my nose was I
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: had always been told my nose was wide and that
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: the tip of myn was trying pulling down pre Yeah,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: it's just it was wide. And I remember an agent
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: telling me I should have a nose job at sixteen,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: and I didn't do it. I didn't even know what
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: a nose job was, so I just never did it.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: And then when I got older, you know, your nose
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: and your ears grow, Yeah, and it got bigger, and
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know what, it could get slimmed down.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: I do to do it again. I would do it
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: again too.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: So you don't regret it.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, No, I don't regret anything I've ever done
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: to my body.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I don't regret my necklift, not for one.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks great.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I love.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I read the symptoms of breast and plant illness
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and I start diagnosing myself.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: With no, you don't have that, or wouldn't be able
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: to keep the schedule you keep. I don't think anyway.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: But other than that, like, I have no regrets.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: I really needed breast implants. I had one that was
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: bigger than the other, and I'm really glad. I've loved
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: my result both times.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Well, now for my next pair, because I'm duing because

  Speaker 1: I mean that was like, that's not what that was
• 52:08
