- 1:51Speaker 3: It's so stunning.
- 1:53Speaker 4: You could really see all the way to the bottom.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Did you guys see any sharks in there? Because I
- 1:56Speaker 1: bet there's.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Looking saw a sea turtle on the.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Beach, Yeah, you see the turtles.
- 2:06Speaker 2: There was one on the apparently there was one on
- 2:09Speaker 2: the beach.
- 2:09Speaker 1: What do you mean apparently apparently.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Some people saying that there's sea turtles And then I
- 2:16Speaker 2: looked up and then I laid back down. She didn't
- 2:19Speaker 2: get look for.
- 2:22Speaker 4: The enclosure though, right with like turtles, Yeah, they.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Have tortoises and flamingos. You've touched a flamingo.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Basically cuddled a flamingo just like an hour ago. And
- 2:35Speaker 1: it was really quiet. It was very it's a very
- 2:38Speaker 1: quiet experience. A flamingo. If you were ever wondering on
- 2:42Speaker 1: one leg? Yes, it was. Yeah, why did it do that?
- 2:47Speaker 1: Why does a flamingo stand on one leg? I think, yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 1: she was awake. I'm pretty sure, is it? Do you
- 2:57Speaker 1: think it's I think it's pretty common that family's vacation together.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Like even though Luca you live in New York, Fiona
- 3:05Speaker 1: you're away at college, Lola you are busy living with
- 3:09Speaker 1: me and running a business, but we always come together
- 3:13Speaker 1: for our basically definitely one summer get away and try
- 3:17Speaker 1: to do a winter getaway too. Yeah, isn't that's pretty common?
- 3:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it is common. But every now
- 3:23Speaker 2: and then you'll meet someone who's like, you go on
- 3:26Speaker 2: vacation with your family, Like they don't get it. Yeah,
- 3:29Speaker 2: But a lot of my personal friends, like they all
- 3:31Speaker 2: vacation with their family. Still.
- 3:33Speaker 3: I think it's about prioritizing each other and we just
- 3:37Speaker 3: all really like hanging out with each other. So it's like,
- 3:39Speaker 3: we want to go on vacation together, and that's such
- 3:42Speaker 3: a beautiful thing. That's something we look forward to and
- 3:44Speaker 3: enjoy doing together and sharing experiences and memories.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Oh my god, we have so many great memories from
- 3:50Speaker 1: our escapades. Wait, Fiona, you actually thinking about priorities. You
- 3:56Speaker 1: could be on spring break right now with all your
- 3:58Speaker 1: college friends. Instead, you chose to come on a trip
- 4:02Speaker 1: with your family.
- 4:03Speaker 4: No, I'd rather be here. I feel like what.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Says no college kid? Ever? I don't know.
- 4:08Speaker 4: I feel like I don't know. It's more relaxing, and
- 4:11Speaker 4: I like being about my family.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I know, and you have pretty colol sisters, and I
- 4:15Speaker 2: love my sisters.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Hey, I'm here. Yeah, cool, Mom?
- 4:19Speaker 2: How about that? Is that a vacation with your family
- 4:23Speaker 2: when you're younger?
- 4:24Speaker 1: No, we never went on vacations.
- 4:26Speaker 3: We went in a camper, not on RV, a camper
- 4:31Speaker 3: on my dad's pickup truck.
- 4:34Speaker 1: We drove it to the the Pike's Peak you ever
- 4:37Speaker 1: heard of that?
- 4:38Speaker 2: It's not the Bahamas, not the worst, not the Bahamas.
- 4:41Speaker 2: It feels like Grand Canyon.
- 4:42Speaker 1: It's like in the middle of the country, somewhere the
- 4:46Speaker 1: Pike's Peak is there the because you know I like
- 4:49Speaker 1: to put the front of the is the Pike's Peak.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It's in Colorado. Okay, Yeah, so apparently I don't remember it.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I was literally a baby in a sling. They my
- 5:00Speaker 1: mom and dad put like a sling in the between
- 5:03Speaker 1: them in the front of the pickup trunk. So there
- 5:06Speaker 1: was my dad driving and my mom as a passenger,
- 5:08Speaker 1: and there was a sling made out of like fabric,
- 5:11Speaker 1: and that's where I was so key.
- 5:12Speaker 4: It's really cute.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do have pictures and it makes me
- 5:15Speaker 1: happy when I see them. My dad carried me in
- 5:17Speaker 1: his little backpack hiking and stuff. So that's the kind
- 5:22Speaker 1: of vacations we did. We've never got to fly anywhere
- 5:25Speaker 1: or go anywhere. We're so blessed to have had the
- 5:29Speaker 1: ability and the opportunity to travel so much, even when
- 5:32Speaker 1: you girls were younger. Wait, can we just talk about
- 5:36Speaker 1: now that I have all of your tension weddings, because
- 5:39Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think you're what. No, you
- 5:42Speaker 1: tell me what your ideal wedding place, environment, situation would be,
- 5:49Speaker 1: and I'll and then I'll tell you what I've always
- 5:51Speaker 1: thought for you. Okay, Luca, when you go first, since
- 5:52Speaker 1: you thought for I don't want to like sway you. Okay,
- 5:57Speaker 1: I will, Luca. You're on a beach, undoubtedly.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yes, very cash. Nobody's wearing shoes.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Nope, it's giving my fifth birthday on the beach.
- 6:08Speaker 2: When my dad was wearing like a lou Oscart.
- 6:10Speaker 1: We can hire who dancers yeah yeah yeah, shell yeah,
- 6:15Speaker 1: bring a dish. So we're we're in alignment as far
- 6:21Speaker 1: as what I always thought for you.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Okay, Lola, I know Lola's too well. I'm going to
- 6:26Speaker 2: tell you what I want to do, because you both
- 6:27Speaker 2: have super overrojecting. I want to have a ranch wedding
- 6:32Speaker 2: with kind of like how you got married to Dave,
- 6:34Speaker 2: where it was very like d I y, only your
- 6:37Speaker 2: close family and friends and a helicopter. Yeah, minus the helicopter,
- 6:41Speaker 2: and it's just like on a ranch, very sweet outside
- 6:45Speaker 2: in the grass.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I love that for you. Not what I pictured, not
- 6:48Speaker 1: at all what I pictured. It may change. I told
- 6:51Speaker 1: you before, I always thought you would have a winter
- 6:53Speaker 1: wedding and you would be in snow, nature beautiful, just
- 6:58Speaker 1: pristine snow, and you would be wearing a garnet red dress.
- 7:02Speaker 1: That's always what I thought.
- 7:03Speaker 2: You told me.
- 7:05Speaker 1: You garnet anything anymore, you can wear whatever you want.
- 7:12Speaker 2: That's I love that for you.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Maybe next wedding when they hear about.
- 7:20Speaker 1: I want to do that, I need to do that, Fiona,
- 7:23Speaker 1: all right, I think mine would be in like Italy.
- 7:28Speaker 4: What no, I'm saying, like lake Como with somewhere the
- 7:35Speaker 4: lake underneath. But then like, really, I have a bunch
- 7:38Speaker 4: of finer sports about this.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Actually, oh my god, you have Fiona and Lola have
- 7:42Speaker 1: pinters sports about their wedding.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I don't have a pincher's account.
- 7:47Speaker 1: I love. Wait, okay, so you'd be in lake Como.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I see that. Wait do you see me getting Can
- 7:54Speaker 1: you come in the wedding?
- 7:56Speaker 2: Will be your bridesmaid? Yeah?
- 7:58Speaker 4: Obviously, But we were just talking about this.
- 8:00Speaker 2: My friends and I about how maid of honor.
- 8:02Speaker 4: The maid of honor is the issue because I can
- 8:04Speaker 4: have multiple bride days, but you have to pick one
- 8:06Speaker 4: made of honors. So I'm honestly just gonna make like
- 8:07Speaker 4: all my made of honor.
- 8:08Speaker 2: That's cute, isn't that fun? You actually have to pick one?
- 8:13Speaker 1: Wait, no, I can't do that because one of you
- 8:15Speaker 1: you can give honors.
- 8:18Speaker 4: I feel like you can kind of be whatever you want.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Now we are planning in detail right now.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Let's get real for a second. Okay, I mean not
- 8:29Speaker 1: that you know, wedding talk isn't real, but nobody's getting
- 8:31Speaker 1: married right now. Okay, just saying that. Wait, no, it's
- 8:34Speaker 1: you know whatever you guys want, of course, but you know,
- 8:37Speaker 1: take your time because I didn't. Right, Okay, good with
- 8:43Speaker 1: some hindsight, now that you guys are almost all in
- 8:47Speaker 1: your twenties, you're almost there, You're about to be no
- 8:51Speaker 1: longer a teenager ever again, since you guys are all
- 8:57Speaker 1: in your twenties, ish, what are some things that when
- 9:01Speaker 1: you look back, that you think I've taught you or
- 9:08Speaker 1: maybe even by my mistakes in life, things that I've
- 9:11Speaker 1: taught you Because you guys, I've always been really open
- 9:14Speaker 1: with all of you. You've been with me every step
- 9:17Speaker 1: of my journey. I've kind of grown up right along
- 9:21Speaker 1: with you girls, but also tried to be a mom figure.
- 9:26Speaker 1: I think I've done that pretty well. But at the
- 9:28Speaker 1: same time, I always did feel like I was like
- 9:30Speaker 1: winging it. I had no idea what I was doing
- 9:31Speaker 1: because I was such a young mom. But what would
- 9:34Speaker 1: you say, like has stuck with you that you've learned
- 9:38Speaker 1: from having a young mom or from having a mom
- 9:43Speaker 1: who's me.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I think that we kind of got to grow up together,
- 9:51Speaker 2: which was really special. Like I look back at we
- 9:53Speaker 2: love watching family videos and looking back at our photo albums.
- 9:57Speaker 2: And you were a baby when you had Luca. So
- 10:00Speaker 2: it's so interesting to watch you go from somebody who's
- 10:04Speaker 2: like almost me and Fiona's age to who you are
- 10:07Speaker 2: now and see you raising people the same age that
- 10:10Speaker 2: you had your babies. We really did grow up together.
- 10:14Speaker 1: It's wild. I was so young when Luca was born,
- 10:17Speaker 1: twenty three ish, I think, wow.
- 10:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I think from what I witnessed because I was the first,
- 10:24Speaker 3: is how it shifts your priorities. And I feel like
- 10:28Speaker 3: I feel so grateful because your whole focus with me
- 10:32Speaker 3: when you had me, and like that was a blessing
- 10:35Speaker 3: that you were able to give me so much energy
- 10:37Speaker 3: even though you were working full time and like working
- 10:39Speaker 3: late night shoots and all that. But it really just
- 10:43Speaker 3: I think, and we've talked about this, like gave you
- 10:45Speaker 3: a lot of like inherent purpose and you are such
- 10:48Speaker 3: an amazing mom. I think you always wanted to be
- 10:50Speaker 3: a mom, like when you were playing with your teddy
- 10:53Speaker 3: bear and like taking care of You were always a caretaker.
- 10:56Speaker 3: So I think sometimes people's purpose and passion can also
- 11:00Speaker 3: be like a family. That's not like it doesn't have
- 11:02Speaker 3: to always be career, even though you're so amazing and
- 11:05Speaker 3: successful and driven, but it can also be your family.
- 11:09Speaker 1: It can be both things at once. Yeah, That's one
- 11:11Speaker 1: of the things that I've been so like happy to
- 11:15Speaker 1: be able to like sort of show you that you
- 11:18Speaker 1: can have all the things at once, and you have
- 11:21Speaker 1: everything within you to be able to juggle all of
- 11:24Speaker 1: that and handle all of that. You don't have to
- 11:27Speaker 1: pick oh I'm just a mom or oh I'm just
- 11:30Speaker 1: a career woman. You can do it all. And we're
- 11:33Speaker 1: so so lucky as women to live in a time
- 11:36Speaker 1: when that's those We have all the options.
- 11:40Speaker 4: I will say, growing up, something I really admired about
- 11:42Speaker 4: you was your strength of character and like watching you,
- 11:46Speaker 4: you know, always be your true strong self. Really, I
- 11:49Speaker 4: feel like had a big impact on all of us.
- 11:51Speaker 4: I remember you remember when I used to get mad
- 11:54Speaker 4: at you for like.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Do I remember it's good yesterday?
- 12:00Speaker 4: There's like an era where you would get some like
- 12:02Speaker 4: pretty bad road rage. Do you remember that?
- 12:05Speaker 2: Yes?
- 12:05Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know, or pressed anger, but you were always.
- 12:10Speaker 4: Like, no, if you don't ever let someone like not
- 12:12Speaker 4: let you use your voice, and like, you know, even
- 12:14Speaker 4: when somebody was like yelling at you in the corn
- 12:16Speaker 4: next you and you would yell back and then I'd
- 12:17Speaker 4: be like, Mom, just don't do that, don't do that,
- 12:19Speaker 4: and you're like, no, no, no, Like you got to
- 12:21Speaker 4: be strong. And I think that was something I really
- 12:23Speaker 4: stuck onto.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Okay, but let's reimagine that nowadays, in this day and age,
- 12:28Speaker 1: in this current climate of our country, let's rage back
- 12:31Speaker 1: at people.
- 12:32Speaker 4: I feel like, for the greater picture.
- 12:35Speaker 1: No, yes, you have. Absolutely. I always taught you don't
- 12:38Speaker 1: take things that don't feel right, Like if if you
- 12:42Speaker 1: see something, say something and that goes for like if
- 12:52Speaker 1: you see something being you know, said to you or
- 12:56Speaker 1: for you or because of you that doesn't feel authentic
- 13:01Speaker 1: to your story and your truth, and stand up for yourself. Absolutely,
- 13:06Speaker 1: that's good. I'm glad that you guys learned some things
- 13:09Speaker 1: from me. I've learned a lot from both all three
- 13:11Speaker 1: of you, honestly. I mean, you know, we have the
- 13:15Speaker 1: tradition what I started. I think it was when all
- 13:20Speaker 1: three of you were born and I started kissing all
- 13:24Speaker 1: three of you on the on the head three times
- 13:26Speaker 1: every night before I put you in bed, and I
- 13:28Speaker 1: kiss you and I would say, strength, courage, and wisdom,
- 13:32Speaker 1: these things I get to. Yes, So tell us who
- 13:38Speaker 1: each of you were in that threesome.
- 13:40Speaker 3: I think we went in order, and I think the
- 13:43Speaker 3: qualities do kind of relate to us. But we did
- 13:46Speaker 3: go in order, so I was strength.
- 13:48Speaker 1: No, no, no, you're wrong.
- 13:50Speaker 2: It's interesting when you were wisdom and Mola's courage, you're wisdom,
- 13:55Speaker 2: you're strength. I guess at least with the words on.
- 14:00Speaker 1: It for multiple you guys have lost your necklace.
- 14:03Speaker 2: It's interesting because regardless of what Luca just said, I
- 14:06Speaker 2: really feel like we do like resonate with the qualities
- 14:12Speaker 2: qualities Like I feel like I am always like searching
- 14:15Speaker 2: for courage, and you're always searching for strength, and when
- 14:18Speaker 2: we remember that, we just like I'm searching for wisdom.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Those are all You're very wise, right you because you
- 14:26Speaker 1: have always had such a wise spirit.
- 14:29Speaker 4: But also like you have courage too. It's like about unlocking,
- 14:33Speaker 4: it's about like.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Within you. Yeah, each of those things. And it's so
- 14:38Speaker 1: weird how you know, you were kids when we started
- 14:42Speaker 1: doing that tradition, but now as women those words still
- 14:45Speaker 1: really kind of resonate and represent each of you in
- 14:48Speaker 1: your journeys.
- 14:48Speaker 4: I think, which is you had one word, what would
- 14:50Speaker 4: it be?
- 14:50Speaker 1: Th good question? One word? You tell me what would
- 14:54Speaker 1: my necklace. Say what would my kiss, my fourth kiss
- 14:57Speaker 1: say on the forehead to say resilience?
- 15:01Speaker 4: Is that the same thing as different?
- 15:04Speaker 3: I'd like to say love or love because I think
- 15:06Speaker 3: you're very loving and you're very open hearted.
- 15:10Speaker 1: And I work and work at love too, which is
- 15:13Speaker 1: kind of what we were just talking about, how you
- 15:16Speaker 1: possess it, but you also still are challenged by it.
- 15:20Speaker 4: I said resilience because I feel like you've grown a
- 15:23Speaker 4: lot as a person, like throughout your life, and you
- 15:25Speaker 4: just keep becoming better and better. I feel like, and
- 15:28Speaker 4: I feel like that's a lot of that's what life's about,
- 15:31Speaker 4: just like growing into the best possible version of yourself.
- 15:34Speaker 4: I think it's really cool to see you kind of
- 15:35Speaker 4: unlock a lot of things recently and step into your
- 15:39Speaker 4: highest power. And I feel like watching you do that
- 15:42Speaker 4: is very you know, I admire that a lot and
- 15:45Speaker 4: inspirational for all of us.
- 15:46Speaker 3: I feel, Yeah, I think a lot of people think
- 15:49Speaker 3: that their parents have to be perfect and get really
- 15:51Speaker 3: frustrated and disappointed. But we got to watch you learn,
- 15:54Speaker 3: and we learned altogether, so we all became are becoming
- 15:58Speaker 3: together and there's no destination, like you are always growing
- 16:01Speaker 3: and learning.
- 16:02Speaker 4: It's your first time living too. Have you ever seen
- 16:04Speaker 4: that quote? Yeah, yeah, it's everyone's first time living. Like,
- 16:07Speaker 4: even if you're thinking like that, persons so annoying, it's
- 16:10Speaker 4: their first time living.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Right, You don't think about that of your parents though,
- 16:14Speaker 1: you don't. You think they're just a parent and they
- 16:17Speaker 1: know everything. And m M. But you guys definitely saw
- 16:19Speaker 1: me trip up a few times here and there, learn
- 16:23Speaker 1: from my mistakes.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Well, even having Memi Anna in the helm, which is
- 16:27Speaker 3: such a great experience, but we're learning a lot about
- 16:31Speaker 3: like she's never been her age either, and like being
- 16:34Speaker 3: older and just all the different generations of women is
- 16:38Speaker 3: really cool.
- 16:39Speaker 1: M Yeah. So if you're listening, Mimi, my mom, the
- 16:43Speaker 1: girl's grandma moved into our house. She's eighty three and she's,
- 16:50Speaker 1: you know, suffering from some cognitive challenges as she's gotten older.
- 16:56Speaker 1: How's that been for each of you? As you now
- 17:00Speaker 1: see three generations in our home? How has it been
- 17:05Speaker 1: seeing my mom me and ultimately you as you grow
- 17:15Speaker 1: and some day you'll be me. Someday you'll be me me, Like,
- 17:17Speaker 1: how has that affected you? Because I'm sure being in
- 17:20Speaker 1: the presence of that many generations, like it has some
- 17:25Speaker 1: effect on you, because I know it has an effect
- 17:27Speaker 1: on me, and I look at you know how I
- 17:30Speaker 1: can do better and take better care of myself so
- 17:34Speaker 1: that you know I can avoid certain things not just
- 17:38Speaker 1: for my benefit, but for y'all's benefit too, because you know,
- 17:42Speaker 1: I know you. I don't want you to ever take
- 17:45Speaker 1: care of me or have to have I don't want
- 17:47Speaker 1: to be a burden. And every I think every mom
- 17:49Speaker 1: says that, but I that has been, has it been
- 17:54Speaker 1: in that house, in that in our house.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Our throughmate. It's definitely there's a lot of feelings. There's
- 18:07Speaker 2: a lot of like happiness that we get to spend
- 18:09Speaker 2: time with her and help her. I feel like since
- 18:12Speaker 2: she's moved in, she's I don't know if like gotten
- 18:15Speaker 2: better is the right term, but she's definitely had a
- 18:20Speaker 2: bit more positivity, which is a really sweet thing to watch.
- 18:23Speaker 2: And it's sad, it's scary, it's it's a lot of things,
- 18:26Speaker 2: but I first and foremost feel very grateful that I
- 18:30Speaker 2: get to like spend this chapter of her life with
- 18:32Speaker 2: her and make her feel as safe as we possibly can.
- 18:37Speaker 3: It's also interesting because we're pretty spaced out, so like
- 18:40Speaker 3: Leona is ten years younger than me, give her take,
- 18:42Speaker 3: and Lola is five years younger than me, so like
- 18:44Speaker 3: it's almost like gaps of womanhood too. Like Leona's experience
- 18:49Speaker 3: is so different than my adult and like I feel
- 18:51Speaker 3: like we're learning from each other too, because I'm like
- 18:55Speaker 3: the first one to like have to pay rent and
- 18:57Speaker 3: have to like get it, you know, Like we're learning
- 19:00Speaker 3: about being growing up through each other, which is really cool.
- 19:07Speaker 3: So multiple generations and experiences to kind of like snapshot
- 19:10Speaker 3: and be like, huh, I like how they're doing that,
- 19:12Speaker 3: but maybe I'll do you always like grow and learn
- 19:15Speaker 3: from your family, like what you want to do, so
- 19:17Speaker 3: maybe like inspired sometimes or like finding things that you'll
- 19:22Speaker 3: do differently.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Yeah, how's it been for you? Well, I was just
- 19:25Speaker 1: going to say, it's been really interesting just to see
- 19:29Speaker 1: your perspectives on just basically life in big picture, because
- 19:36Speaker 1: when I was I can say without a doubt, when
- 19:39Speaker 1: I was any of your ages, I did not think
- 19:43Speaker 1: look at my grandmother's generation and what's going on with
- 19:46Speaker 1: her as a woman, what she's dealt with or come
- 19:50Speaker 1: through or learned. And I never you know, I never
- 19:53Speaker 1: thought about my mom as I didn't have Well maybe
- 19:57Speaker 1: it was because of the industry that I found myself
- 20:00Speaker 1: in and all the other mental things that was going
- 20:03Speaker 1: on with me. But like I never really had that
- 20:05Speaker 1: sort of ability to step back and look at my
- 20:09Speaker 1: female you know, predecessors, my ancestry and kind of like
- 20:15Speaker 1: learn from them or just even appreciate or you know,
- 20:19Speaker 1: just take account of all the different things that we
- 20:23Speaker 1: go through as women, as we go through the different eras,
- 20:27Speaker 1: you know, the aras tour, airs tour. We're all swifties,
- 20:31Speaker 1: you guys, can't help it till the day we die.
- 20:36Speaker 1: But it's been Yeah, having Mimi move in has been
- 20:41Speaker 1: so many things. I don't want to get emotional, but
- 20:44Speaker 1: it's been really scary and eye opening and wonderful and
- 20:56Speaker 1: deeply saddening. You know, there's so many things that go
- 21:00Speaker 1: with caring for your mother when they get older. You know,
- 21:05Speaker 1: my mom doesn't have, you know, another option, So we
- 21:09Speaker 1: took her in and as a family and of course
- 21:13Speaker 1: want to take care of her and make her later
- 21:16Speaker 1: life as beautiful she made my life and as beautiful
- 21:20Speaker 1: she made you girls' lives. Like she was such a
- 21:23Speaker 1: great grandma. She still is in her in her own
- 21:27Speaker 1: way now, you know, in her capacity now. But it's
- 21:31Speaker 1: just really fascinating to sit with different aged women who've
- 21:36Speaker 1: all grown up in the same world. Yeah, same house.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Well, it actually reminds me because you're kind of caretaking
- 21:44Speaker 3: for Mimi, but like, how are you caretaking because we're
- 21:47Speaker 3: all older now, Like, how does it feel to be
- 21:48Speaker 3: a mom of adult children.
- 21:52Speaker 1: It's definitely different. I remember when you sort of like
- 21:57Speaker 1: left the nest, Luca as the oldest. I still had
- 22:00Speaker 1: two birds in the nest, so I wasn't looking at
- 22:03Speaker 1: it like, oh no, I'm losing a bird. It didn't
- 22:06Speaker 1: feel that way. It felt like you were just kind
- 22:08Speaker 1: of flying, you know, and doing your thing.
- 22:10Speaker 2: And you were always very independent, Like I feel like
- 22:12Speaker 2: when you're sixteen, you did your summer camps and you
- 22:16Speaker 2: were excited to enter that independence.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Definitely a streak of independence in this girl. Strength really, yeah,
- 22:24Speaker 1: wisdom and courage all wrapped up in one and everything.
- 22:30Speaker 1: But it's been, you know, it's been, it's been. It's
- 22:33Speaker 1: taken me, you know, stepping back and having the ability
- 22:40Speaker 1: now later in my life to look at things a
- 22:42Speaker 1: big picture and sort of assess the bigger moment, not
- 22:45Speaker 1: just so tunnel vision of where I am and how
- 22:47Speaker 1: I'm surviving this moment. But to be able to like
- 22:50Speaker 1: look at you as individual women now, I just I'm
- 22:59Speaker 1: full of pride. It's not pride of like an ego,
- 23:02Speaker 1: but it's just pride that like, look what I look
- 23:05Speaker 1: what you did as a mom, Like first when you
- 23:08Speaker 1: were here, I kept you alive, like I'll barely not
- 23:12Speaker 1: to keep myself.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Alike for me because I feel like you're both super
- 23:15Speaker 3: young and figuring it out.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Figuring out. I was figuring out every step of the way,
- 23:19Speaker 1: even with Fiona's age. I was figuring out how to
- 23:22Speaker 1: parent Fiona because she's different than Luca, and she's different
- 23:24Speaker 1: than Lola, you know. So I think being able to
- 23:27Speaker 1: give myself that grace and to sort of accept that, yes,
- 23:32Speaker 1: I am a mother of three girls, but I'm a
- 23:35Speaker 1: mother of each of you individually, and like going about
- 23:38Speaker 1: it that way because it's much easier to just be like, oh, yeah,
- 23:42Speaker 1: I have three kids, but I have three humans that
- 23:46Speaker 1: you know, when you when you really break it down,
- 23:48Speaker 1: I don't want to just lump you together as a
- 23:50Speaker 1: bunch of my kids, you know, like you're so much
- 23:52Speaker 1: more than that to me.
- 24:00Speaker 3: What resources do you feel like you had, because I
- 24:02Speaker 3: remember you used to like read books about go to
- 24:04Speaker 3: classes and class I don't know, did you go to
- 24:07Speaker 3: any like mommy classes matter.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Like no, no, you.
- 24:11Speaker 4: Know, even Dad didn't go to any like classes.
- 24:13Speaker 3: No.
- 24:14Speaker 1: I never I never even talked to other moms about
- 24:16Speaker 1: what it was like to be a mom. I just
- 24:18Speaker 1: was like making it up as I went the whole time,
- 24:22Speaker 1: winging it, pretending fake it till you make it.
- 24:25Speaker 4: And you did a really good job. Just look at
- 24:27Speaker 4: all of us. I feel like we're all really smart.
- 24:29Speaker 1: And you're all very smart, smart girls.
- 24:32Speaker 2: That's actually really interesting because you were the youngest, so
- 24:35Speaker 2: I feel like, as the middle I have a lot
- 24:37Speaker 2: of practice taking care of Fiona, and like I had
- 24:40Speaker 2: a lot of my maternal instincts come from being a
- 24:43Speaker 2: big sister Fiona. So the fact that you were the
- 24:45Speaker 2: youngest sibling and that you were, honestly from the jump
- 24:49Speaker 2: like such an attentive mom to Luca is really it
- 24:53Speaker 2: must have been passed down from MEMI yeah, all the
- 24:56Speaker 2: animals that you had, I'm sure.
- 24:58Speaker 1: No, I think it's just kind of in my genes,
- 25:00Speaker 1: Like in my upbringing from the Midwest, like family was
- 25:03Speaker 1: always so important to me, it was the only thing
- 25:05Speaker 1: I knew because, like I said, we didn't travel places.
- 25:07Speaker 1: We didn't you know, we didn't go off our farm
- 25:11Speaker 1: very much, to be honest. Yeah, So it just like
- 25:15Speaker 1: inside me that thank God, just sort of naturally takes over,
- 25:20Speaker 1: whether it's with my doggies, you know, I'm obselves with
- 25:24Speaker 1: them or with my children. Like it's just like and
- 25:27Speaker 1: also what you said earlier, like that ability to step
- 25:32Speaker 1: out of this world of like self scrutiny and self
- 25:37Speaker 1: drive and the constant you know, attention that one pays
- 25:41Speaker 1: to themselves when they're young, or one pays to themselves
- 25:44Speaker 1: when they're in the industry that I'm in. I was
- 25:47Speaker 1: so happy to have the like safe space where I
- 25:53Speaker 1: felt really confident as a mom, Like just I knew
- 25:58Speaker 1: that this was what I was supposed to do, be
- 26:00Speaker 1: your mommy, and like it knew it was. I was
- 26:02Speaker 1: good at it, Like there was there have been times
- 26:05Speaker 1: when I've definitely questioned, like, oh no, how am I
- 26:08Speaker 1: messing them up today? Or who's going to be in
- 26:09Speaker 1: therapy over me when? But all those things, but like
- 26:14Speaker 1: mostly I've always felt like this was my calling, was
- 26:17Speaker 1: to be the mother of all of you more than anything.
- 26:20Speaker 1: And I think having that, the ability to have the
- 26:23Speaker 1: opportunity to be a mom, has helped me not be
- 26:27Speaker 1: so self focused, so selfish, so wrapped up in everything
- 26:34Speaker 1: as an individual, but more about like our family and
- 26:37Speaker 1: each of you individually. Like the fact that I have
- 26:41Speaker 1: within me the capacity to mother each of you individually
- 26:48Speaker 1: per your specific needs and just where you are in
- 26:51Speaker 1: your lives blows my mind.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Honestly, it's not exhausting. Yeah, I'm very impressed.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot more exhausting when I was younger,
- 26:59Speaker 1: because it was like just throwing everything up in the
- 27:02Speaker 1: air and hoping everything landed right. But I'm most proud,
- 27:08Speaker 1: obviously of being your mom, and most proud of how
- 27:12Speaker 1: you girls have turned out and are turning out and
- 27:15Speaker 1: will continue to grow, you know, y.
- 27:18Speaker 2: And I actually have a question for you because you've
- 27:20Speaker 2: just started your first semester at college and it's your
- 27:24Speaker 2: first time being out of the house and I'm curious.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Mom just called it kind of like our space, safe space,
- 27:29Speaker 2: and we called our bird's nest, Like, how are you
- 27:31Speaker 2: feeling being out in the world without Mommy?
- 27:35Speaker 4: It's definitely weird. Even though I go to college kind
- 27:38Speaker 4: of close comparatively to all my friends who moved, you know, farther.
- 27:41Speaker 4: I feel like it still feels weird when I go home,
- 27:45Speaker 4: Like my room doesn't feel like my room anyway.
- 27:49Speaker 1: You kind of like, really, but it's okay.
- 27:53Speaker 4: I just kind of feel like on my own, but
- 27:57Speaker 4: I can do It's really weird. That sense of independence
- 27:59Speaker 4: you get, like creating your own schedule and doing what
- 28:01Speaker 4: you want for the first time is so fun, and
- 28:04Speaker 4: I feel like, I don't know, first semester, I was
- 28:06Speaker 4: kind of in between, like I was going home a
- 28:08Speaker 4: lot more because I feel like it was kind of
- 28:10Speaker 4: hard for me to adjust since I love being home
- 28:13Speaker 4: with you guys. But after that, I kind of feel
- 28:16Speaker 4: like the independence and like the fact that I could
- 28:19Speaker 4: do my own things and like make my own schedule
- 28:22Speaker 4: really kind of motivated me to, yeah, start my life.
- 28:25Speaker 1: I was wondering because I am such an independent woman
- 28:28Speaker 1: and always have been since I was a young person.
- 28:32Speaker 1: You are each very independent. I was wondering, like, how
- 28:36Speaker 1: have I have I given you your independence? As you've
- 28:41Speaker 1: left the nest. I know, I feel like I really
- 28:44Speaker 1: have for you, Luca, because I mean, you moved across
- 28:47Speaker 1: the country, so you kind of made it hard for
- 28:49Speaker 1: me to be too involved.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Yes, and I feel like I don't know.
- 28:59Speaker 3: There's just moments where like I remember you were like
- 29:02Speaker 3: you have to, you know, find your own apartment, and
- 29:04Speaker 3: then like when I found it, you were like crying.
- 29:07Speaker 3: It's like a little give and take. Here's the story
- 29:09Speaker 3: with that easy to want someone to help somebody be independent.
- 29:12Speaker 1: I didn't want you to find your own apartment. First
- 29:13Speaker 1: of all, it was a group effort being told to
- 29:17Speaker 1: me that that was what you needed to do development right,
- 29:23Speaker 1: But then you found an apartment on a busy street
- 29:26Speaker 1: in North Hollywood, which is not safe. There was no security,
- 29:28Speaker 1: no underground parking. There was a key that opened the
- 29:31Speaker 1: actual like metal key.
- 29:33Speaker 3: You had loved it, and that was such an experience,
- 29:36Speaker 3: Like that was such a chapter for me because like
- 29:38Speaker 3: I needed that.
- 29:39Speaker 2: The girl, you know, terrified was terrifying.
- 29:42Speaker 4: I remember I came over one time and I was
- 29:43Speaker 4: really scared of like, oh my god, you're building. Also,
- 29:48Speaker 4: the living room wall had the.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Refrigerator. Oh yeah, what was in your refrigerator?
- 29:56Speaker 3: Well, I didn't have a lot of storage and I
- 29:58Speaker 3: didn't cook, so I just kept my shoes and my refrigerator.
- 30:01Speaker 2: But then my shoes would be cold. That was not
- 30:03Speaker 2: very that's really weird.
- 30:06Speaker 3: But I've lived in a lot of weird places, Like
- 30:08Speaker 3: I feel like I've like lived with random movements, like
- 30:10Speaker 3: that's just part of being young, and like you got away.
- 30:13Speaker 2: With a lot.
- 30:14Speaker 3: You got to backpack, yeah, across Europe and stay in
- 30:17Speaker 3: hostels like I'm just that's my expression of independence. It
- 30:21Speaker 3: looks differently on each of you, which is awesome doing this,
- 30:24Speaker 3: but I like like that kind of stuff.
- 30:28Speaker 1: You think. You guys probably think that Fiona gets away
- 30:30Speaker 1: with a lot because she's the baby and I've gotten
- 30:32Speaker 1: more relax which is true and it's a different time
- 30:35Speaker 1: and world. But I feel like you got away with
- 30:38Speaker 1: a lot because I was busy with them and still
- 30:41Speaker 1: treading water, and then you were gone and I was like, okay,
- 30:44Speaker 1: well when worried about her, she was gone. Yeah, she
- 30:48Speaker 1: was just gone.
- 30:49Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've always come back comes back.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Wait. I was always just like so uneasy with you
- 30:59Speaker 1: out on your own, but knowing that I had to
- 31:01Speaker 1: let you do you well that way.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Like yeah, I do feel like you've kind of really really.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Too much too much, Like you're like you always are,
- 31:14Speaker 1: Like why are you all of a sudden, what do
- 31:18Speaker 1: you wait?
- 31:19Speaker 4: No, I've really it's fun.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Then I noticed what.
- 31:22Speaker 4: I'm like, we haven't talked to her in like two days,
- 31:23Speaker 4: and then I'm like, wait, I have to call her
- 31:25Speaker 4: right now. But I think you've done a really good
- 31:28Speaker 4: job with letting me kind of feel like, I like
- 31:30Speaker 4: not pressured. I know a lot of kids when they
- 31:32Speaker 4: get to college, their parents are like, you know, sending
- 31:34Speaker 4: them gift bags every single day, and they're like freaking
- 31:36Speaker 4: out when they go do whatever. So I don't know,
- 31:39Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Actually, Yeah, I set up your room and then I
- 31:42Speaker 1: was out.
- 31:42Speaker 4: Yeah, and I really appreciate you helping me do that.
- 31:46Speaker 1: No love what about you? Because we live together, I feel.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Like it's a little different and we work together, are
- 31:52Speaker 2: with each other pretty much twenty four seven, and we
- 31:55Speaker 2: choose to be. Yeah, but it feels like a choice.
- 31:58Speaker 2: I think that I I did have the going to
- 32:02Speaker 2: college experience, and we got to Luca and that was
- 32:07Speaker 2: very special and I'm really glad that I got to
- 32:09Speaker 2: experience that. But I just feel like now I'm trying
- 32:14Speaker 2: to balance so much more than just my own independence,
- 32:18Speaker 2: Like I have so much more on my plate. The
- 32:20Speaker 2: business and everything. So I feel like, yeah, that's a
- 32:26Speaker 2: little more. Yeah, I need the nets a little bit more.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Do you feel that you have the independence things?
- 32:30Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, I need my alone time. I
- 32:33Speaker 2: like I need to My social battery is very small,
- 32:37Speaker 2: and when I go and spend it all, I need
- 32:39Speaker 2: to have my alone time. So I do feel like
- 32:40Speaker 2: I enjoy being alone. I love my independence, but I
- 32:44Speaker 2: do love being around my family.
- 32:46Speaker 1: It's so weird because I always struggled with like, because
- 32:51Speaker 1: my mom loved me in my mind young woman mind,
- 32:54Speaker 1: too much, and I was always afraid that I was
- 32:57Speaker 1: being given more love than my sisters. And so I've
- 33:03Speaker 1: always been very like, I've always been cognizant of giving
- 33:11Speaker 1: you each individual amounts of love and sometimes like my
- 33:15Speaker 1: instinct is to pull back enough to like see what
- 33:19Speaker 1: you need instead of me just smothering you and with it,
- 33:23Speaker 1: especially as you've gotten older. Yeah, you used to know
- 33:27Speaker 1: you had no choice. I was likes seeing you everywhere
- 33:29Speaker 1: all the time. But now it's it's it's like it's
- 33:32Speaker 1: shifted gears. It's really interesting.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Well, this era for you.
- 33:37Speaker 3: Is a little different than full on coat like parenting.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Like parenting, it's more career focus, which for me is
- 33:46Speaker 3: super inspiring because I feel like you never had that
- 33:48Speaker 3: in my lifetime, like fully diving in and following your passions.
- 33:53Speaker 3: I don't know, you were obviously working full time when
- 33:55Speaker 3: I was younger, but you were your priority was still home,
- 33:58Speaker 3: and it's been really empowering to watch you like take
- 34:01Speaker 3: more career risks and like jump.
- 34:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I really do.
- 34:09Speaker 1: I love that you guys recognize that. And it's yeah,
- 34:11Speaker 1: the first time in my life where I've been yet
- 34:15Speaker 1: even though you were, you know, independent and doing your thing,
- 34:18Speaker 1: I was still consumed with are they okay? And what?
- 34:22Speaker 1: You know? You just still and until you went to college,
- 34:26Speaker 1: like I had something to focus on so imminent, and
- 34:29Speaker 1: then when you left, it was like, okay, what's next?
- 34:33Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's what a lot of parents
- 34:35Speaker 3: struggle with, is that empty nest syndrome, And like, I
- 34:37Speaker 3: feel like you didn't really have time to do that
- 34:39Speaker 3: because you just jumped right into a really big project
- 34:42Speaker 3: and undertaking in the business of I Choose Me with Lola,
- 34:46Speaker 3: and that's been really.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Cool to watch. Yeah, you said the word empty nesters,
- 34:52Speaker 1: and that's kind of triggering for me because we don't
- 34:55Speaker 1: have an empty nest. I know, you guys, this was
- 34:59Speaker 1: the thing when Dave and I got married and he
- 35:02Speaker 1: took on the role of stepfather to three girls who
- 35:05Speaker 1: had a father. And you know he loves you, guys.
- 35:08Speaker 1: He would do anything for you, Dave, step Dave. But
- 35:12Speaker 1: he's been waiting, he's been waiting for that empty nest,
- 35:15Speaker 1: which I've always like, you know, someday you'll get all
- 35:17Speaker 1: of my attention. I promised it's coming. They'll all, they all,
- 35:21Speaker 1: they won't need me, and they'll be on their own
- 35:23Speaker 1: and we'll just kind of check in and out with them.
- 35:25Speaker 1: We can travel, we can do whatever. The minute Fiona
- 35:27Speaker 1: left for college in came meet me and Dottie and
- 35:33Speaker 1: the baby Doggie. So I feel really bad for Dave. Actually,
- 35:39Speaker 1: he doesn't have an empty nest, and he really really
- 35:41Speaker 1: wanted it. He wants it. I don't know how that's
- 35:44Speaker 1: gonna work out for him, though. Monday time, Monday at
- 35:47Speaker 1: a time. My mom's grandfather, my great grandfather, lived to
- 35:51Speaker 1: be one hundred and one.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Oh great gems, that's good, great.
- 35:55Speaker 1: I mean, it's good, but that means I will never
- 35:59Speaker 1: have an empty nest. But I don't know when you.
- 36:04Speaker 2: And they find the time you shay on weekend. Yeah,
- 36:06Speaker 2: you have to make the choice.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Choose me. We have to choose, we choose we Yep.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Sometimes I think that it's really been interesting to like
- 36:22Speaker 1: with you, especially Luca as the oldest, the adult, the
- 36:27Speaker 1: big one is the oldest one. It's been really interesting.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It's been harder for me to step back, I think
- 36:40Speaker 1: in the momming department, because you're the first one that
- 36:45Speaker 1: I've had to really let go of and not you
- 36:48Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I'm learning from our relationship
- 36:52Speaker 1: how to be that for your sisters when they're at
- 36:55Speaker 1: that point. Has there been a point when it's been
- 36:59Speaker 1: when you've been like you need a step.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Back, mom, Not in those words, Obviously, I love and
- 37:06Speaker 3: appreciate all of your advice and wanting to participate in
- 37:10Speaker 3: all my life. And I feel like career was always
- 37:13Speaker 3: something where I was trying out different things and you
- 37:15Speaker 3: were like, I wish I could help you. But I
- 37:17Speaker 3: kind of got lucky. I didn't really have this moment
- 37:20Speaker 3: of like what's it called early twenties where you're like.
- 37:24Speaker 2: Trying things out, Like I feel like, you know, there's
- 37:28Speaker 2: like a word for it. Not that. No, it's like
- 37:32Speaker 2: a type of roughing it chapter in your life.
- 37:34Speaker 3: I feel like it's like being in your twenties and
- 37:37Speaker 3: not having like any really responsibility other than figuring it out,
- 37:42Speaker 3: which I feel like there's a lot of shows that
- 37:43Speaker 3: are about that now, which like girls like where you're
- 37:46Speaker 3: like figuring out what you're going to become. So I
- 37:48Speaker 3: definitely feel like I had that, and.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Yeah I wasn't.
- 37:53Speaker 3: I wasn't maybe as like inclusive of it with you
- 37:56Speaker 3: because being together was more of like family time.
- 38:00Speaker 1: You're so so independent and then you just let me know,
- 38:03Speaker 1: like what was happening in your personal life and let
- 38:07Speaker 1: me know what is happening in your career life. I
- 38:09Speaker 1: think that's mentor in normal because it's crazy because being
- 38:13Speaker 1: from my background, I didn't ever have the experiences that
- 38:16Speaker 1: you're all having having. I've never had any of the
- 38:20Speaker 1: experiences that any of you have had because of just
- 38:23Speaker 1: the like growing up in show business and being famous
- 38:27Speaker 1: at such a young age, which brings me to a
- 38:30Speaker 1: question of, like I know that people probably wonder what
- 38:35Speaker 1: is it like for you each to have a famous
- 38:40Speaker 1: mom and a famous dad, like parents that are in
- 38:44Speaker 1: the industry, like that's probably a really loaded question.
- 38:49Speaker 2: I kind of we've talked about it.
- 38:51Speaker 5: I feel like we hate this question because you hate
- 38:53Speaker 5: this question because like it's you or you, like we
- 38:58Speaker 5: don't see you as a famous person.
- 39:01Speaker 2: You're just like our mom. I feel like I agree with.
- 39:05Speaker 4: That one hundred. But I do remember like the kind
- 39:09Speaker 4: of age or around where I've figured out kind of
- 39:12Speaker 4: what your job was.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Because how old were you?
- 39:15Speaker 4: I don't know I was. I don't remember the exact
- 39:17Speaker 4: age was like seven or eight or something, so when
- 39:19Speaker 4: you were stretting out the catwalk, Yeah, but no, I
- 39:23Speaker 4: kind of just like thought it was super cool. And
- 39:25Speaker 4: I remember like the paparazzi I used to post for them, and.
- 39:28Speaker 1: I think it was oh my god. Yeah, wait, that
- 39:30Speaker 1: reminds me of it. Used to get so excited when
- 39:32Speaker 1: the pop It was like a.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Fun like where's that? What's that game? Where's Waldo? Felt
- 39:37Speaker 2: like where's Waldo? They'd be like in the bush, Dad,
- 39:39Speaker 2: they're over there, Mom, they're over there. Wait, this is true.
- 39:42Speaker 3: I had a nightmare about pop parazzi chasing all of us,
- 39:45Speaker 3: but we were younger. But I had a nightmare recently,
- 39:48Speaker 3: maybe like three weeks ago, So as an adultalment kind
- 39:53Speaker 3: of traumatizing in a way where it's just like random following.
- 39:58Speaker 1: You and your mom family.
- 40:00Speaker 3: But my like sweet, vulnerable young mom picked me up
- 40:03Speaker 3: from school and there's like six men descending upon her
- 40:06Speaker 3: like it was not.
- 40:09Speaker 1: So it's weird, you guys, I think I see it
- 40:15Speaker 1: more like reflected in you, probably the most, because you
- 40:21Speaker 1: were in like weaver, I was inn that was back
- 40:25Speaker 1: in those days when it was bananas, and I feel
- 40:30Speaker 1: like it put a certain like maybe like a guard
- 40:37Speaker 1: up for you, or maybe just a fear inside of you,
- 40:40Speaker 1: a little bit of like I don't know what, I
- 40:44Speaker 1: don't really know how to define it. I know for Lola,
- 40:46Speaker 1: I've always felt like she was always very like who
- 40:49Speaker 1: are you and what do you want from my mother?
- 40:51Speaker 1: Very protective.
- 40:52Speaker 2: You are very protective mom. Specifically, I feel like in
- 40:57Speaker 2: a weird way, it's made me work harder to always
- 41:02Speaker 2: present myself in the best way and be kind to
- 41:05Speaker 2: everyone around me, just because we were watched when we
- 41:08Speaker 2: were younger. So I feel like now I'm able to
- 41:13Speaker 2: be more cognizant of how I can lead with kindness
- 41:15Speaker 2: and like shed light onto people. That's so sweet, You're
- 41:20Speaker 2: so cute.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Did you ever have that like that pressure though? Do
- 41:23Speaker 1: you think you carry that around the pressure of representing,
- 41:27Speaker 1: you know, whatever, our family, the brands, the whatever, our business,
- 41:32Speaker 1: you know, our business. Luca is avoiding this question.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking honest, I don't really feel out.
- 41:38Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, always as a family, I want to
- 41:41Speaker 4: represent the best I can and you and you know.
- 41:44Speaker 4: But I feel like growing up in La a lot
- 41:46Speaker 4: of my friends also had families that, you know, we're
- 41:50Speaker 4: in the public eye, so I feel like it was
- 41:54Speaker 4: kind of it was a weird thing that was like
- 41:56Speaker 4: normalized for I feel like me in high school. But
- 42:00Speaker 4: I do feel like I've always tried to be my
- 42:02Speaker 4: best self so that.
- 42:04Speaker 3: I don't think it's exclusive to like famous families or
- 42:07Speaker 3: families in the Hollywood industry. I think it's like all families,
- 42:11Speaker 3: like Mulan wants to bring honor to her family, Like
- 42:14Speaker 3: I think you always want to represent your loved ones
- 42:17Speaker 3: and like to carry the torch, and you have a
- 42:20Speaker 3: very bright torch to carry.
- 42:23Speaker 2: I feel like the weirdest part isn't even the famous aspect.
- 42:26Speaker 2: It's more about like watching you work, like when you
- 42:29Speaker 2: have to do something or do yeah, you just turn
- 42:33Speaker 2: it on, and I feel like that is like some
- 42:36Speaker 2: sort of superpower or something. And I love watching that,
- 42:39Speaker 2: Like that feels empowering. That is like then I'm like,
- 42:43Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this is like a famous powerful person
- 42:46Speaker 2: because of how you're able to just like carry yourself
- 42:49Speaker 2: and do panels and your inspiring and I love watching.
- 42:52Speaker 2: I love watching how loved you are.
- 42:54Speaker 3: I feel like you hold from nine or two on
- 42:56Speaker 3: specifically such a place in people's memory and childhood. They
- 43:01Speaker 3: grew up with you, they feel such a like love
- 43:03Speaker 3: for you, and I get to like experience that love too,
- 43:06Speaker 3: like it extends onto everyone around you, and that's such
- 43:09Speaker 3: a beautiful, warm feeling. And I feel like we really
- 43:12Speaker 3: got to experience that at the live event last year,
- 43:14Speaker 3: and that was such a celebration of like fandom meets
- 43:20Speaker 3: like respect.
- 43:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I have some really just like loyal, beautiful fans.
- 43:26Speaker 1: You guys have like an army of people probably out
- 43:30Speaker 1: there that would protect you whenever you need it. I
- 43:33Speaker 1: can name a few, but I won't. But you know, I.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Feel like we have personal relationships with some people too
- 43:38Speaker 3: that like got to know you through your work and
- 43:41Speaker 3: just follow and support you and That's what it really is.
- 43:44Speaker 3: Is like being a fan is like loving something and
- 43:46Speaker 3: supporting it.
- 43:47Speaker 1: It's in a weird way. It's like the people I
- 43:49Speaker 1: went to school with, Like if I went to high
- 43:52Speaker 1: regular high school and went to you know, had friends
- 43:54Speaker 1: from high school. That's kind of what my fan base
- 43:57Speaker 1: is now because we grew up together. Yeah, and we
- 44:01Speaker 1: you know, we're just in that we've been in it together.
- 44:04Speaker 4: That's an interesting the correlation. I never thought about that
- 44:07Speaker 4: because you never had like a high school. I mean
- 44:09Speaker 4: maybe high.
- 44:10Speaker 1: School, but like, no, no, really, I left when I
- 44:12Speaker 1: was a sophomore.
- 44:13Speaker 2: She tested out.
- 44:15Speaker 1: That's crazy.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Yeah, And obviously we're so grateful for all the amazing
- 44:20Speaker 3: experiences your work has gotten to give us, Like being
- 44:23Speaker 3: here such a fun experience. Getting to like record and
- 44:28Speaker 3: sit in bomb right now is so fun. Like it
- 44:30Speaker 3: definitely brings a lot of amazing opportunities and experiences.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Oh, I have a question, then, have you ever felt guilty?
- 44:42Speaker 1: Have you ever felt any guilt from growing up obviously
- 44:46Speaker 1: in a position of privilege or in a position of
- 44:50Speaker 1: you know, just being born into a very you know,
- 44:54Speaker 1: unique situation. Have you ever felt guilty or embarrassed by it?
- 44:59Speaker 1: Or I wouldn't say guilty.
- 45:01Speaker 4: I feel like we're very I feel like we're all
- 45:03Speaker 4: very grateful, so like I feel like the guilt kind
- 45:06Speaker 4: of just transfers into like gratitude for us. And I
- 45:09Speaker 4: feel like as long as we're thinking of it with
- 45:11Speaker 4: like a grateful and open mindset like that, it doesn't
- 45:15Speaker 4: really feel like I don't know, you know, I feel
- 45:19Speaker 4: like everyone kind of puts gets put into like life
- 45:22Speaker 4: that they're meant to live. I don't know I'm getting
- 45:24Speaker 4: into like the universe.
- 45:24Speaker 1: Who yeah, I like no, But I don't know.
- 45:27Speaker 4: I feel like everyone has their own experiences, and I
- 45:29Speaker 4: don't think that being guilty is like benefits anyone. I
- 45:36Speaker 4: don't know.
- 45:38Speaker 2: I feel like that goes back to how you raised us,
- 45:40Speaker 2: like we're you raised us very humble. You never took
- 45:43Speaker 2: us to the fanciest of restaurants. You We were watching
- 45:47Speaker 2: a home video the other day and we were playing
- 45:49Speaker 2: on the water slide in our front, ye front lawne.
- 45:52Speaker 2: That was funny.
- 45:53Speaker 1: It was funny. We were like we were the famous man,
- 45:57Speaker 1: like the family with the picket fence, like the big
- 45:59Speaker 1: house on the corner, and your parents were both really
- 46:02Speaker 1: at the height of they think their fame at that moment.
- 46:04Speaker 1: But and we had a slip inside up in the
- 46:07Speaker 1: front yard for the world to see.
- 46:09Speaker 4: And didn't Dad used to do like snow machines on
- 46:11Speaker 4: the block too, He did, he did.
- 46:14Speaker 1: He put up spiders, light shows, machine loves know the
- 46:19Speaker 1: neighbors had a snow machine for Christmas. Yeah they know.
- 46:22Speaker 1: Actually they brought in fake snow from somewhere snow was
- 46:26Speaker 1: And you guys.
- 46:27Speaker 4: Played Jonas brothers that lived next door.
- 46:28Speaker 1: It wasn't Joe Bros. It was. It was It was
- 46:32Speaker 1: Jennifer of Hewitt's house, but brought it into snow.
- 46:36Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely like weird elements to childhood, like brothers next time.
- 46:41Speaker 4: What I mean, I don't know.
- 46:43Speaker 3: But again, like a little said, it was just so
- 46:45Speaker 3: safe and sweet and normal and you really protected, like
- 46:48Speaker 3: our little bubble.
- 46:50Speaker 1: I remember the Joe Bros. Being next to next door
- 46:53Speaker 1: because they all three lived in the house. Even though
- 46:55Speaker 1: I think some of them were.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Adults, they were teenager.
- 47:01Speaker 1: We would sit in the top bedroom, the playroom, whatever
- 47:05Speaker 1: that room was. I was with you. We were all
- 47:09Speaker 1: standing in the wind like, Oh, they're coming out of
- 47:11Speaker 1: their house. Where are they going?
- 47:12Speaker 2: What are they doing?
- 47:13Speaker 1: Like we were like, oh, they're playing basketball, but we had.
- 47:16Speaker 2: Some pretty good lemonade stance with a very star sudded.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Yeah. And Hillary Duff was next door the other way.
- 47:25Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it was fun.
- 47:27Speaker 1: It was fun. But you're you're right, not it's not normal,
- 47:31Speaker 1: very unusual. I don't.
- 47:33Speaker 4: I feel like I agree with that they're saying, though
- 47:34Speaker 4: I didn't really realize it wasn't normal because it felt
- 47:37Speaker 4: so like normal to.
- 47:38Speaker 2: Us, and you made it normal. Like we had the
- 47:42Speaker 2: ranch that we grew up on and we would go
- 47:43Speaker 2: there during the weekends and be completely private from any
- 47:47Speaker 2: nonsense of la. We really tried hard to make it private.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean when I look at you all and
- 47:53Speaker 1: I think of where I was born in the different
- 47:57Speaker 1: upbringing that I had in the Midwest, on a farm
- 48:00Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere, no nothing, no magazines,
- 48:03Speaker 1: no internet, no nothing, and now here you are, all
- 48:07Speaker 1: three of you, born and raised in Los Angeles, the
- 48:10Speaker 1: biggest craziest aside from New York where you live, Luka,
- 48:15Speaker 1: but the biggest craziest city, full of really great people
- 48:19Speaker 1: and really whackado people. Like I'm just like amazed because
- 48:24Speaker 1: I know that for me, I didn't really ever like
- 48:26Speaker 1: think about it, Oh my god, I'm raising these girls
- 48:28Speaker 1: in LA and Hollywood, and how do I keep them grounded?
- 48:31Speaker 1: I just kind of was, I like sunk my teeth
- 48:34Speaker 1: in and dug my feet in and did what I
- 48:36Speaker 1: knew how to do, which was like, let's grow a
- 48:39Speaker 1: garden together, let's you know, the play with the animals,
- 48:43Speaker 1: like try to keep you as normal as I was
- 48:47Speaker 1: and as I still feel like I am. And I
- 48:50Speaker 1: can't wait for you to all have grandkids. But I
- 48:52Speaker 1: was just like marveling the other day at like, yeah,
- 48:55Speaker 1: you were born in Los Angeles. That comes with its
- 48:57Speaker 1: own stigma. You're LA girls, but you don't feel like it.
- 49:03Speaker 1: Yeah I don't think so. I don't think you really
- 49:06Speaker 1: act like it. And I've never ever seen any of
- 49:08Speaker 1: you act entitled like I went like this in my flinched.
- 49:15Speaker 2: I felt sorry. I couldn't.
- 49:18Speaker 1: I can't lie, I know that. But yeah, it's okay.
- 49:23Speaker 1: You've worked your way through a lot of we've all
- 49:26Speaker 1: done a great job working your ways through figuring out
- 49:30Speaker 1: who you are aside from your parents, aside from being
- 49:35Speaker 1: l A born and bred from this like world that
- 49:39Speaker 1: you've grown up in. But it's just so so wild.
- 49:43Speaker 1: How it's so different than I mm hmm experience, like
- 49:47Speaker 1: pre Hollywood.
- 49:50Speaker 2: One of my favorite things is when when do you
- 49:52Speaker 2: nanty say, your sisters come over and they're like, are
- 49:56Speaker 2: embracing the la, Like we say that we're not LA,
- 49:59Speaker 2: but compare to other people are very LA. That's true,
- 50:03Speaker 2: and so it's my favorite thing to be around non
- 50:05Speaker 2: LA people that are your family. Does this kind of
- 50:08Speaker 2: shock them in a funny way of like how but.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Also it feels grounding right, like very much. This is
- 50:14Speaker 1: these are the people that I come from, these are
- 50:16Speaker 1: the people that my mom comes from. Like we're it's
- 50:21Speaker 1: alto the earthy kind of people. Like I feel like
- 50:25Speaker 1: I'm so happy that there's there's that element. And then
- 50:27Speaker 1: you guys have the wild, crazy Italian side, which is
- 50:30Speaker 1: also a gift. Yeah, and like a whole different energy,
- 50:35Speaker 1: but but having the best those both worlds come together
- 50:39Speaker 1: to make you who you are. But I feel like
- 50:41Speaker 1: that's why you're all so diverse, really truly like accepting
- 50:46Speaker 1: of all kinds of people, really self aware. I'm really
- 50:52Speaker 1: proud of all of you. We're proud of me. You
- 50:55Speaker 1: the best mom, Thanks fons I love you, guys, before

- 51:32Speaker 3: little bit later than Mommy and Lola and David. But

- 51:42Speaker 3: I was like waiting to have our adventure together. But
- 51:45Speaker 3: I had a little meat night and I just walked
- 51:47Speaker 3: on the beach before going to the airport and just
- 51:50Speaker 3: enjoyed the sunset by myself, which was so cute.
- 51:53Speaker 2: And there was other I was looking around.
- 51:55Speaker 3: There's just other people doing the same, like a woman
- 51:57Speaker 3: with her dog, a man running down the side. So
