• 2:02
  Speaker 3: What do you think possibly? Yeah, yeah, I think there was.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I think it was definitely a factor in terms of.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe if you were on the fence, it was definitely
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: a pushed.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And overall this episode, what'd you think of it? In general?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: It had very cute moments.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: It was there was some confusion between the Nicole's name,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: but yeah, otherwise it was it was cute.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Have you watched the series before or were you a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: casual watch or never seen it?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: What? I actually never ever thought it?
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Really Yeah, but I'm not a TV watcher, right, So
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: actually I get it though.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Now it's really cute.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So this is the first episode you've actually seen?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, that's the premise of my entire podcast. I'd
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: never seen it either. I never watched it. I saw
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: maybe I saw the pilot, you know, when it came
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: out but I never watched an episode until twenty sixteen
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: when we did the big premiere in Westwood for the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Netflix episodes, and we had to sit.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Through Winter and thought it was pretty good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: But I hadn't seen any episodes other than that, so
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I had no idea what I was involved with. Of course,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: for you know, until twenty till twenty twenty one when
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I started that, I had no idea, all right. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we begin with Lorelei cleans out our garage for it
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to become a practice space for Lane in her band
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: h and the band is over to prep the space,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and Dave tells Lane to play like a guy. He's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: being very condescending. He's being very sexist towards her, but
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: it's all just a device so that the other band
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: members don't catch on that they.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Are in love.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And then Lane tells Rory she got a maybe for
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: missus Kim to go to the prom, so she devised
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: a plan for her to say yes to Dave blah
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: uh and Lane and Dave Florida, laie. We're getting a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: little ahead of ourselves, all right, So this episode is
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: giving us a lot of Lane and Rory's friendship. Did
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you ever have a friendship like this growing up.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I did it. It was in high school and I
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: had a.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Really, really, really good friend.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Her name was Susan, and we were very tight and
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: we covered for each other and we were we were.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Pretty much inseparable.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That's nice.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: We got into the thick of things, we were, We
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: got into trouble sometimes.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Did you grow up in southern California?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I grew up in Silicon Valley.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Okay, so.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Kind of the Bay Area, but not really the Bay Area.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: It'd be more south, safer up north, right, And there
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: wasn't much to do at that time, and so yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: you had to make your fun and it was.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: That was when the mall was exciting.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: You just go and hang out at the mall.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: And we even got in trouble by the cops one time,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: right in front of our house. So yeah, we we
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: had good friendship.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I remember those did mal Day's cops, the whole thing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: The suburbs used to be a lot of fun.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, they they absolutely were. I don't know if they're there, Yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: they really were.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: No, right, they're not so funny.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure some places are, but I think
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: most of the suburbs I've been in lately or kind
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: of you know, they're throwing off city vibes.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, I remember packing all of us packing into
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: a car, sitting on each other to get your house
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: party right exactly.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just yeah, it must have changed a great deal.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: They really have.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so you can relate to this episode obviously, this
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this this relationship from these two. We're big fans of
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the day of Vergalski Lane relationship because it's just so
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: damn clever. Yeah, and he's you know, he's very sweetly
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: going through a lot of hoops to date Lane. And
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: if he'd have stayed on the show, Smith, do you
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: do you think he would have.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Been endgame for Lane or is it too hard to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: tell just from watching one episode.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's too hard to tell for me from watching one episode.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, it really is a very impressive.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: His This relationship between Dave and Kim is just so
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: cleverly written. Yeah, all the all the all the inventions
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and all the hoops and all the deceptions that they
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: go through to be together.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: It's just really cute.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun to watch, it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Is it really is.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know I I would I would like to
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: think that they would.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Have right in the endgame, because that's that's a fun relationship.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is fraught with complexity. Imagine Dave navigating that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: through a marriage through children. I think missus Kim would
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: have eventually, you know, accepted it and been actually quite pleasant. Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: well maybe that's the next iteration.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Larele Alex Luke dynamic Billy Burke guest stars as Alex,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: big fan of Billy Burke, and you know they're hitting
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: it off. Lareleon and Alex are hitting it off.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: He's a coffee guy, he's got some kids, he's a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: great dad.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: He asked her to go fishing. What you think of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: all this? Were you aware of the Luke and Lorelai
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: back and forth, the dynamic between these two, the tension
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: between these two, Well.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: It's immediately obvious when you watch it. It's there, which
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: is great, and it's really cute. The fishing in the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: kiddie pool.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: It's uh again, Lauren is showing her comedy chops.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, prepping and learning how to fish, and.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it seems to be that it's a
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: similar scenario over and over again with these two where
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Luke is helping her on a date or helping or
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: being a good guy and you know, being the supportive friend.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: He kind of.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You know, he doesn't display jealousy really in front of her.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: He doesn't get you know, he doesn't he doesn't get challenged.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He just sort of says, well, you know, I'll just
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: help you out as much as I can. It's really
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the only thing he can do, and it's really the
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: best thing to do.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit, yeah, yeah, yeah, he uh.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: God, after so much of it, you get to maybe
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: thinking he enjoys it. What's wrong He's a masochist or
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: something that I'll stick with her because I know I'm
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: going to be in constant pain. Pain interesting, you know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: So, so Luke comes over and Loralize dress ready to
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: go fishing to a lake, but Luke has only let
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: her her practice in the kiddie pool, and then he
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: starts his probing inquiry into specifics and who and why
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and what number, date all that stuff. So he gathers
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the information without letting on that he's I mean, to me,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: that's an obvious sign.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: That he's a little wound up about it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't really show it too much to her,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: and uh, and we never see we don't see the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: fishing date.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Why don't we see the fishing date?
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: All that build up, She's ready to rock, and then
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: we don't see a fishing date. We just see a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: trout in the bathtub, which is.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Because I don't think it was about them per se
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: going on that what it was about.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: The date, but it was the lead up to the date.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It was everything about the date, not the date.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So we know that that Alex is not going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: be a contender.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: There asking me here what I remember about filming it?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And I don't remember it. I don't remember anything about
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: filming the show.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Really, with the filming in general, I don't remember much.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to remember it. It's like, okay,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I've I've occupied my brain with this for hours. Now,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you know it takes hours to shoot a scene. That's enough,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: flush it. Let's get I don't want to you know, yep,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I have no It's it's amazing going through this.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I have very little memory of any of it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I totally understand.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: That's not because it was unpleasant, just the op.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just a time in your life.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: A chunk, right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And plus with limited room, you want to make room
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: for the.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: New stuff, right.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't think Luke regrets offering to teach
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Laurla how to fish.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: No, after he finds out it's for a guy he's dating.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: That's that's silly.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to something really spicy here.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, Rory in Paris, I mean, Paris is gone after
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Rory with a vengeance.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: So Francine pulled Rory into the bathroom and she I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: guess she wanted details about who.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Paris was dating. There was a guy from Princeton.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I think I could be wrong, but I believe that
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that Rory was blackmailed somehow into divulging certain details about
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Paris's personal life. And this is what Paris is so
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: unhinged about, to the point where once she stomps into
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the student council meeting late, she just goes after Rory
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: with a vengeance like we've we haven't seen from from
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: until from the beginning. I mean, this is the way
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Paris was in the beginning when she was breaking in Rory,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: so to speak, or trying to break her. And then
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Paris and Rory go to see Headmaster Charlton, because they're
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: bickering is becoming an issue on campus. This is just
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: not how Chiltern students behave. And he gives a very
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: fine lecture to them. I was very it was a
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: very satisfying.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Lecture that he gave to these two and he threatened
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the you know what out.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Of them, and it got the attention and they walked
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: out and Paris was still.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Still wanting to fight. She was still chomping. It's the bit.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Do you think Paris has taking it too far?
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, her temperament is a temperament. Yeah, so I
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: think that, you know, for her, it probably wasn't for
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: some people who watch it, they probably think so. It
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: just depends on the person. Yeah, have a very diplomatic answer.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Why do you think Rory stoops to her level and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: fights back.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think she's gonna take it anymore. She was.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, she was getting essentially blackmailed off the wall. Yeah,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: you're you know, there's some stress.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I thought she got some good shots in there though.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he defends herself.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lack of I think understanding all around
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: that may have maybe maybe just over it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I think she is I think at certain points during
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: their argument, Rory was like, screw it, I'm done with that.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, after so much, I got to fight back a
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: little bit, right, got to a punch too.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it was entertaining.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: And one of the big laughs I got out of
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the episode was and I actually rewound it. If you
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: can imagine, post Charleston's speech, Paris muttered to herself, sexist
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: white haired man.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it did seem to me like it was
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: an overdub, but it worked anyway. Well, it's nice to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: see the different friendship Rory has and introducing a new
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: guy into the mix.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: And and.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Overall, Okay, now that we've talked about it a little bit, right, m.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: How would you rate this one to ten? This episode?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And and and I know you haven't seen any other episodes,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: but just in your opinion, in your your experience watching television,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: even though you're not a big television watch you've seen
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: some episodes in your life.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I know you have.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: How would you rate this episode of television? Was it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the best television experience of your life?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Smith? Did it? Did it change your life? Or it didn't?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: It didn't change your life or did you did it?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: That was surprising that I didn't think it would be
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that good.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: It was pretty good, but on a scale of one
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to tenth, I would rate it at.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Point wow, seven point three. We used to rate these
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: episodes the first go around. This is the second go round,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: so we're watching it for the second time, so the
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: first go around after every we had a big team
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: of people and we used to rate them. So that's
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a nice callback to what we used to do. All right, Ah,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: teven point three. You know what, I think, I'm gonna
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: give it about the same, maybe a little higher seven
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: eight seven nine card we should, you know, we just
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: don't have the budget for that, you know, very Mark, Well,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you have to get a union person to hold it up,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and that's a huge expense. It's a huge expense. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: then if you don't do it right, you get fined.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: The state of California finds you like one hundred thousand dollars.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a whole thing. It's a whole thing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I wonder to the stale tex on that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Fine, there's got to be you know, there is.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And then they go in and they do a they
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: do a five of the overall you know, they do. Yeah,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: so they just nail you. All right. Now we're going
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to talk about you. This is all about you now,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: oh boy.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm not even gonna ask you the first question
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: because you don't remember a thing about it to you?
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Do you remember anything about that day when you when
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: you were shooting your episode?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Well, what did you do?
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I don't remember. I think I stood in the living room.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, it was it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Was one of my very very very first acting on
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: TV jobs.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so I.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Think I said something or two or three. I don't remember.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, how'd you get into acting? So you're from Silicon Valley.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody up there has this tech startup. You're the only
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: one that doesn't have a tech startup. You get into acting?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I was the answer. So I had I was doing that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I was doing jazz.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: I went to Long Beach State for dance because they
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: have a fantastic dance program.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: And then from there I found my way into acting.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, because I always wanted or was very curious about it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: But this is this is you know, this is going
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: back to the days where we're talking about no internet,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: no access, no anything. And I was so sheltered that
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I truly thought you had to be a special specie
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: of humans.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: To be an actress.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: You do, yes, yes, yes, you do.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: This is true. This is true. I wasn't too far off.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But you know you did, You did r you did
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: entourage name a few.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: So what put you off? Were you just this is?
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: This is just not for me for some reason. It
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: wasn't happening at the rate you thought it would happen.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It was boring?
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: What it was boring?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: What?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Uh? You know? Clearly I was needing to fulfill a
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: hole within myself for validation at in some fashion. And then.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: As I was growing up and doing more work and
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: working more, I probably started to evolve much more where
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I would look around and I just would the certain
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: behaviors that I didn't agree with on set or treatment,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: and so it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Kind of that was one piece of it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Another piece was it also just didn't matter how talented
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: you were.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: There were so many politics involved, and.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: That was crushing. It didn't matter how right you were
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: for a wall. It didn't matter if it was if
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: everybody under the fund wanted you for the role.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: It didn't even matter if that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Director who won the Oscar wanted you. It mattered what
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: the network wanted.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Right, So after a few of those hits, like I
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: just I really became disillusioned and I just didn't care anymore.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So you got close to a couple of pilots or
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a couple of series, these regular roles or film and
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: niling the auditions and many being assured and testing all
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the time, just nothing coming through.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's and it's nice, but it's also very
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: sad when you get when they seek out your email
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: from the casting directors or in the day of a
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: letter and they would write to you and say, I'm
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: really sorry it didn't work out.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: I really really really wanted blah blah blah blah blah
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: blah blah. I mean that's pretty great and yet so sad.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Right, So when that happens more than once, I'm just like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I can't control this, this is this is not for me.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I hate everyone. Sorry, Am I not supposed to say that?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: No? Yeah, no, it's it's it's very difficult to you know.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's harder because I went through a similar
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: experience in.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: My previous career, and but I you know, I was young,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I was in my I started at twenty and by
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the time I was twenty six, I was done.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I was so frustrated and.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I had gotten so close so often, and had you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the phone call that changed my life, and called the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: parents and called the friends, and then the next day they.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Changed their mind.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: And it was so I experienced everything, and then I
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: went into this business thinking it was going to be
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: any different.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: And I always say that I hung in long enough,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: and I was old enough when I started, that I
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: had a thick skin, and that I said to myself,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hang in there and till one day
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: somebody makes a massive mistake and hires me, because I
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: know the odds of that happening increase the older I get.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Somebody's going to make a bad mistake, and it happened.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Congratulations again, Way to go, you idiots.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You are. But I know I know exactly how you feel.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's harder to endure when you're giving your
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: twenties and even getting into your thirties and you continue
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: to give of that.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: That is difficult to reconcile. That is very difficult.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: It's very difficult.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's much because I couldn't have continued
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: my prior profession any longer, it just wasn't possible for me.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I've enjoyed it for five years. The last two was nightmarish,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm done.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: You know, this doesn't want me.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: It's just, you know, it's the way it goes, the
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: way it goes, you know, So I know exactly how
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you feel good for you.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: And you turn it into something that you enjoy.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that is that is profitable.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: You know. Everything's a hustle, right, everything is a hustle.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: When I was on the fence, my husband.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Were we married yet, so my son boy friends because
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: now my husbandriend uh.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Was He's like, why don't you your real estate? Because
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: when I was when I hit my when I had my.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: First farid, it was the most amount of money I'd
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: ever made in my life or a scene.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: So it's like, oh my god, I don't know what
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: to do with this. Did you still with it? It's
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: not just going to go away otherway? So I started
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: investing in real estate. So it's like, you, you know
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: real estate from the other side, why don't you do that?
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, I so don't want to be a
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: person on the best bench. I'm not doing that, I'm
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: not doing it, and that's embarrassing, not happening, not doing it.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: And so for.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: The first year I was still kind of still acting,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: but I was also being a ghost. And I essentially
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: grew the deep real estate firm in Austin. And everyone
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: that I lived in Austin had two bones and it
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: was my real estate friend and I developed this firm,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: and essentially because I knew Austin really really well, that
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: was actually where I had made one of my real
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: estate investments as well.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: I did all that, and then when that kind of
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: hit its point where they wanted me to move up
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: in the firm.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I looked at the prices of.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Austin and I was like, even for that money, i'd
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: have to That's just not my life in LA. It's
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: not going to support that. Actually, like I'd have to
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: move to Austin for that to make sense. So since
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: I'm not moving there anytime soon, I should just do
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: it in LA, which is again I had to get
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: over the ego part of like, oh now she's a
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: real estate agent, and I'm like, oh my god, I'm
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: so embarrassed.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: So I had to sit with that for a.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Minute or two or five, and that's how that happened.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: And then from there.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Always also wanted like a little local shop.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the brentwould find Wrot Wines. You're in Brentwood, you
