It was just 24 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519 well the first comic con we ever did together, and I was I remember 25 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.400 telling all of our friends that we always do. I was like, oh 26 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.840 my gosh. When I was a baby girl, I used to call me 27 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.280 poo bear, so fan of yours? So sweet.

It wasn't the 31 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.120 same when I was a little a little bit val earned the H. Look 32 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:22.479 I know. Oh man, So so what what what has happened in these 33 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.039 days? What what is keeping you happy? Oh my gosh? Everything? 34 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:30.280 Like I know, we we do comic cons all the time, and I 35 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.080 do them because I love them. I Mean, we meet some amazing and 36 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.680 it's so nice to see people yeah, you know, are you like me 37 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:38.599 when when people come up to you and they'll they'll say, well, you 38 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:44.319 know, I was having a tough time and this and that, and yeah, 39 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.960 yeah, you just never know, like I mean, you, well, 40 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.400 we've always been living our dream right with actors, and we've been doing 41 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.879 our thing, and you never know what how your work resonates with people. 42 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.120 And to know like they feel like it changed their life or we played any 43 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:04.360 part in helping them as humans like that is mind boggling. And you realize 44 00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.120 not everybody had a great life, but they had you know, your show, 45 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.120 our show. You know, they had something that we contributed to and 46 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.800 that changed them. So that's a beautiful thing. And that's that's the reason 47 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.680 I do it. I always say I'll stop doing cons when it's no longer 48 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.960 fun, but they just pull you in with the love. You know, 49 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.800 it's the love best. It's true. Yeah, it's true. And you 50 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.479 just don't have a sense of affecting people right, So from here you go, 51 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.680 where where should we go? Because you know we should recap that at 52 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.199 the end. But on the other hand, oh the hell you doing, 53 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.719 darling. I'm doing great. You know, life is good. I'm still 54 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.919 acting and traveling and you know, I'm starting to get into producing, so 55 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.400 yeah. Yeah, So I mean it's just like, you know, when 56 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.000 you're creative, you do a lot of things, and you should. I 57 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.560 always encourage people to do it all or at least try it, because you 58 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.439 never know, you might be great at it, you know. Yeah, 59 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.159 absolutely, That's what I feel like. When you're a creative person, you've 60 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.960 got to keep your spirit going. And so whether it's you know, working 61 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:13.639 on your you know as an actor, or working writing or doing anything, 62 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.199 I just feel like you got to keep that creative energy going. Yeah, 63 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.759 definitely. Well, the more irons in the fire. Yeah, yeah, 64 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.600 we were just talking about that at dinner, you know, honing your craft. 65 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.439 You know, this is a very honeable craft. Absolutely, I think. 66 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.680 You know, like the popular opinion tends to be like you either got 67 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.199 it or you don't. And it's like, you know, it's like almost 68 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.279 like anything else like woodworking or you know, anything else, surfing, it's 69 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.800 like the more repetition, the better you get at it. Yeah, I 70 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.040 mean, speaking from personal experience, like even this podcast, you know, 71 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.079 every week seems to get easier and easier because it's just muscle memory and it's 72 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.120 repetition and yeah, yeah, and it's cool to create something and cool to 73 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.680 have these conversations like we always talk. Anytime we're at a show, we 74 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.920 all get together and we start talking about life or whatever, and so it's 75 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.480 kind of cool to share some those stories. Oh absolutely. Yeah. And 76 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.079 you have a podcast as well. I do. I have. It's called 77 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.040 the BOP. It's the Blurred Official Podcast. And for those of you who 78 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.399 don't know, we know a blur it is. It's a black nerd. 79 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:19.680 So yeah, so b L e yes, b L like it's blurred like 80 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.160 a you know. But but yeah, it's fun. We talk about everything. 81 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.560 We love is as adults and we're just big kids. You know. 82 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.199 I always feel like I've always felt like in this nerd space, we've never 83 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.480 as a culture, you know, we don't have the room to enjoy the 84 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.120 things that we want to enjoy. And so I'm like, we want to 85 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:46.000 encourage, you know, especially black you know, kids to be themselves, 86 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:49.720 be nerds. You get into it chic to be geek, so let's do 87 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.160 it. That's true. But no, we just have fun. We talk 88 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.439 about superhero stuff, We talk about everything everything. Do we have to thank 89 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:03.959 for that I hope. So, yeah, he's the first blurd I think 90 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.040 him. You know, I'm gonna tell him that because I never thought of 91 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.040 it that way. But he was Yeah, he made it cool to be 92 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.600 a nerd. Yes he did, Yes, he did. He'll be at 93 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.480 He's at a couple of conventions here and there, right, Yeah. Yeah, 94 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.879 that's what's cool about him too. You get to see all your heroes, 95 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.879 like you see all these people that you've always wanted, I mean, 96 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.240 you looked up to and you always wanted to meet, and we get to, 97 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.439 like, you know, just hang out for the weekend in these places. 98 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.439 Absolutely. I remember when we first met at and does everybody know who 99 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.120 we're talking about, by the way, Arkle? Yeah, yeah, well 100 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.879 he was on Family Matters Julie White, Ye White. Yeah that's why I 101 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:48.360 met Yeah, yes, yes, it was like we must love might as 102 00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.720 well get the guy's name. Absolutely, But I remember we were doing Sonic 103 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:59.480 the Hedgehog and he was Sonic the Hedgehog and I was Doctor robut Nick that 104 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:05.240 Hedgeho. You're welcome anyway, uh so, uh chills look at you. 105 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.680 But it's likely I used to watch that show, so I'm like, oh 106 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.000 my god, well, it was so funny because you know, he's a 107 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.160 cool dude, and he made sure he put his stamp on it. We 108 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.519 were doing the very first show and I was sitting here, he was sitting 109 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:25.920 there. I mean it was literally like that close and there, and one 110 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.279 of the lines Wash for Sonic was, oh, dude, I don't know, 111 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.800 dude, I think that really lags, dude, and Jeli was going, 112 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:42.079 we have like five more dudes. But it was even better that it 113 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.360 was even better that he goes first of all, I don't really surf, 114 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:56.199 and look who's black. It's me the last time you ran into him, 115 00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:01.319 rather than talking about no no no, no, no no no, I 116 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:09.720 like this like this guy. Yeah. So we didn't lag any further. 117 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:16.839 No more lagging, no more lagging. A great story. Everyone forgets like 118 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.839 he was Sonic the Hedgehog, Like I mean, how iconic was that role? 119 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.920 And people forget it. It's like, you know, he's probably done 120 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.319 a million things and they always talk about the main one. Yeah, oh 121 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.639 god, yeah, yeah, I forget that. What what was the movie 122 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.360 that he was in as a I can't believe we're sitting there talking about a 123 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.159 good actor. You know, it's okay, I'm a great actor. He 124 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.679 was actually really nice. I worked on a show hanging with mister Cooper and 125 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.879 he was super nice. And the stages were right next door to Family Matters, 126 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.200 And I remember like, whenever you were a guest star at Warner Brothers, 127 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.200 you would have to like park like like miles away, like it was 128 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.279 a long walk to get to the wherever the guests park. We were far. 129 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.200 Yeah, I had to park in Anaheim, right, felt that way. 130 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.000 So I remember one day we got film, we got done filming. 131 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.559 It was really late and it was me and a couple of other actors, 132 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.440 and he gave us a ride because he was like, I know, you 133 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.200 guys got to walk really far away. So he gave us all a ride 134 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.159 and he was so nice. Oh that's cool. Yeah, was super cool 135 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.639 and he would come over and say hi everything, and so just was a 136 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.399 cool person. So yeah, oh that's cool. You like to hear nice 137 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.960 stories, like I know, right, because there you do have those stories 138 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.600 where people are you know, they're they're a little they've they always say they've 139 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.879 they've bought into their own hype, and you hate to see it because there's 140 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.919 usually a person you really look up to and you know they just are not, 141 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.759 you know, happy, and that's unfortunate. You know, life's no 142 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:56.440 kidding. Yeah, well you know, I uh, I've had different people 143 00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.399 over the years say well, well, you know the point is to be 144 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.320 happy. Now, I've been poor and happy, and I've been rich and 145 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.679 happy. Right And just for the record, rich and happy beats the ship 146 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.440 out of poor and happy. I mean, I'm just putting it out there. 147 00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.120 It feels a lot better, right, Yeah, it's just something to 148 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.440 think about it.

Yeah, yeah, that's really accept it. 496 00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.639 The only thing bad about that is then you're outside of sag jurisdiction and they 497 00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:12.599 steal your residual. Yeah, that's true. That's why, well, that's 498 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:17.039 why we shot it there. Yeah, they were they were what they were 499 00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:22.440 doing. Yeah yeah, yeah, I did this crazy movie Balto one hundred 500 00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:28.480 years ago, and they wanted you to fly over to London for the same 501 00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:34.239 reason. And this is SIB and I'm yeah, well no I am flying. 502 00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.679 You know, I want my residents because you better get I mean, 503 00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:40.920 you better like get ten times more than you were done again without them, 504 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.480 Yeah, sorry, this is inside. Well that's where everybody's on strike because 505 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:51.239 they're they kind of changed the game with and that's why everybody's like, you 506 00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:52.440 know, we got to fight for it. You didn't, I mean because 507 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.360 honestly, you remember back in the book, a commercial or a couple of 508 00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.280 commercials, and you would you'd be good, you could live, have an 509 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.840 apartment and you could just and it gave you the room. And but now 510 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:06.519 it's like, I mean, they started streaming and they're like, oh, 511 00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:09.039 we don't know how to count that, or like how did you not know 512 00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:13.920 how to do so it's like all of that, but they know how to 513 00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:16.880 make the money off exactly exactly. Apparently they do know how to count, 514 00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:21.800 right. Yeah, So that's why we were just talking about that earlier the 515 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:23.400 day. You know, I feel like in the in the media and everything, 516 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:27.400 everybody says it's like, oh, all about AI and this and that, 517 00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.159 and I feel like that's that's a part of it. Yeah, But 518 00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.960 like you're saying, I think the biggest thing is transparency exactly, you know, 519 00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.400 because nobody knows there's no Nielsen boxes for Netflix, you know's, and 520 00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:44.119 you hear these stories like these shows that are like huge, Like they were 521 00:38:44.199 --> 00:38:47.400 saying, like the Oranges, New Black people casts were saying that. They 522 00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:50.639 kept going, oh, we don't know how to count this. We don't 523 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.480 know, because that's when Netflix first got its big hit, you know, 524 00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.599 Oranges and New Black it was huge, and they were like they they were 525 00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:00.400 like, you know, we were sharing in a part with two other people, 526 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:04.360 Like you couldn't even live on our own in New York, but we 527 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:07.280 couldn't go get another job because we were on this show and we had to 528 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:12.400 be available. And they were like and then one day the I guess one 529 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.440 of the big exacts from Netflix came on set. They're like, we're bigger 530 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.679 than Game of Thrones and they were like, hold on, hold on what 531 00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:25.679 And so that's when they started realizing like this is bad, but it's yeah, 532 00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:29.840 it's crazy, But I think it's wonderful that a lot of the stars 533 00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.519 that are on shows, like recent shows have been very transparent with like their 534 00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:37.800 residuals and how like like how they are getting nothing, and it's made people 535 00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.639 go, Okay, wait, we gotta gotta fight. You know. If 536 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.760 you know the cast of This is Us, they're not getting any residuals. 537 00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.000 And that show was just out. It was the biggest show on ABC. 538 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:51.840 How is that possible? Literally, how is it? Well, because they're 539 00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:55.760 like they're I know, well they well they put the they don't rerun it 540 00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:00.599 on ABC. They put it on Hulu. You stream it. So there's 541 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:07.000 no resist, there's the resist. And speaking of speaking of Orange is the 542 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.320 New Black, have you heard this story? It just made me think about 543 00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:13.519 it because Laura Preppin was on Yes you know or Just New Black in this 544 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.639 story that just came out yesterday about Danny Masterson getting sentenced to thirty years. 545 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.599 Yeah, thirty years for sexual assault. I mean, holy cow, I 546 00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.559 know, holy cow. And you know it's bad if you're getting thirty years, 547 00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:29.320 I mean people are getting twenty five years for murder. Yeah, know, 548 00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:34.239 yeah, well, and you know, thankfully those women got their day 549 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.760 in court, absolutely, because it's like those kind of stories. You hear 550 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.320 that kind of stuff all the time, and it's I mean, I'm just 551 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:45.000 glad that the victims got seriously, you know, like gosh oh yeah, 552 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:49.199 yeah, yeah, because it's hard because I guess like for the longest, 553 00:40:49.639 --> 00:40:52.400 you know, he's a rich man, so it's like he's been able to 554 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.199 evade it. So yeah, and he was doing some crazy stuff too. 555 00:40:55.239 --> 00:41:00.239 I was reading this article today and it's like awful, like he was told 556 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:06.199 them these women at gunpoint, drugging them like super violent. Yeah, r 557 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:13.400 Kelly Batman. Yeah. And who else was? Yeah? The Astley Judge. 558 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:21.760 I never studio had the movement, the whole reason it started. Yeah, 559 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.920 what is his name? I can't good good thing we can't remember. 560 00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.320 Thing we can't remember to go nasty ugly fart that that I think that was 561 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:37.440 his given name, Harvey. Yeah, well yeah, you've mis it for 562 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:45.320 big old, nasty ugly fart exactly. Yeah. Yeah, No, it's 563 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:47.559 good, Like it's good to see these people like actually paying the price, 564 00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:52.039 you know, and we're talking decades and decades ago. It had to be 565 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.519 a movement like it's all the women to come out and just go and go. 566 00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.639 And they pressured you know, law enforcement to finally pressed charges on a 567 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:05.119 guy like Harvey Wants you know, who was evading it forever because he had 568 00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:07.199 so much money pay him off and you know, nda them, and there 569 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.039 was all these crazy things that were happening. Oh crazy, But what was 570 00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:13.880 even worse? Like I felt like, okay, yeah, he's terrible, 571 00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:16.480 but think of like all the agents that were sending this they knew what they 572 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:20.519 were sending these girls to these meetings and they were like, go have a 573 00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:22.079 meeting in your career, be made. Don't say nothing. And it's like 574 00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:28.000 we need those people to get charged too, yeah cause you know, yeah, 575 00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:30.400 yeah, well that's been going around for a long time. I remember 576 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:32.480 reading The Godfather, Yeah, and they touched on it in the movie. 577 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:37.159 But in the in the in the book, it was like this mother took 578 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:40.679 in this kid to the studio head and it was like, oh my god, 579 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:45.360 lamb the slaughter. Yeah yeah, well you heard all those stories with 580 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.519 like Judy Garland and they kept her you know, drugged and she was a 581 00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:54.480 teenager child. Yeah yeah, so but yeah, I mean, what's crazy 582 00:42:54.599 --> 00:43:00.159 is that was what almost one hundred years ago? Now it's so crazy, 583 00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:04.199 how you know, we're getting into the twenties and thirties and now we're seeing 584 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.119 like a hundred years of cinema and it's like, it's amazing. It's fascinating. 585 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.239 That's very fascinating because it feels like such a new medium still, you 586 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:15.400 know, yeah it does. Yeah, I'm a I love old movies and 587 00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.400 I love that kind of too. Yeah.

What since how old Jim? 664 00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:07.679 Yeah it was five? Yeah, five years old? Yeah, me too. 665 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:13.039 I've picked absolutely no. Yeah, and my parents couldn't believe that I 666 00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:16.039 said that stuff. But I bought him a house and it was okay, 667 00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:25.440 but it was just fine. But no, I did. I remember seeing 668 00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:30.440 on Jack Penny program when mel Blank was on there, and my dad, 669 00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:34.039 you see this pastard. He's a guy that does all those voices and everything. 670 00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.800 Okay, I'm him, yeah, him, yeah, thanks. That's 671 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.760 what I want and that's you know, and I aimed for it, and 672 00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:43.880 it took me, you know, years and years. I had to get 673 00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:46.199 all that other junk out of my yea, all that rock and roll and 674 00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:51.280 everything, but it all went towards it. Yeah, all yeah. For 675 00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:54.400 I started out in the music industry and it was like it was like to 676 00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:59.760 me, that was my my. I don't know if you have like college, 677 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:01.320 like you have to learn how to get there. It was like my 678 00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.239 my, my schooling to what I ended up doing, you know, just 679 00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:09.320 all led to that. I knew that I that's why I didn't go to 680 00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:15.639 college because I actually had a I feel like I'm repeating myself, but I 681 00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:21.039 had an offer from Autubine College because I was in speech and I was really 682 00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:23.920 good. I was like the second or the first in the state or blahlah 683 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:30.119 blah. But it didn't work out because I didn't want to go to college 684 00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:35.719 and I threw out the thing from the thing with the scholarship offer so that 685 00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:39.320 my parents wouldn't see it. Yeah, oh wow, I'm a genius. 686 00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:47.639 But I didn't know I know anybody else, you know, but I but 687 00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:51.880 it worked out. Yeah, I know the same thing. Well. My 688 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:54.159 mom was actually the opposite. She was all about it. Like when she 689 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:59.239 knew I wanted to be an actress, singer, whatever, she was like, 690 00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:01.599 do it, do it? Like she was like go And like I 691 00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:06.360 remember once I went back home for just like a year, just because I 692 00:51:06.440 --> 00:51:07.639 just needed a break from La, Like, you know, La, is 693 00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:12.679 you gotta take a break? I needed a break. And she literally after 694 00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:15.719 a year she was like what are you doing here? And I was like 695 00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:17.920 what don't you love it having me? Like I lived right by her? 696 00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:22.159 And she was like yeah, but no, but you go like what are 697 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.920 you doing here? You're this is not your home anymore? Your home is 698 00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.039 there? Go And I was like, oh, I was like, wow, 699 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.039 okay, go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. I always said my mom 700 00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:37.440 she believed in me, Like whether I believed in me, she believed Yeah. 701 00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:42.039 She was great Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. Yeah. Yeah, 702 00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.400 Well just the points of what both of you guys are saying and previous guests 703 00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:47.239 have said as well. It's like, you know, not I went to 704 00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:50.960 college, you know, and I'm not advocating to not go to college, 705 00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:54.199 right, No, that I mean, like you know, Tarantino says it. 706 00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:57.880 You guys have said it, like tons of people have said it, 707 00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:00.039 and like the best way to learn is doing, you know, go out 708 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:02.000 there and do what you want to do. If you want to be a 709 00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:05.920 producer, you want to be a director, then go produce, Go direct, 710 00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:08.599 you know, go go act. You know, like do what you're 711 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:12.800 passionate about, and the rest will follow, you know, because like there's 712 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.159 no substitute for doing things that you love for sure, you know, and 713 00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:19.320 that that energy is going to come through. It's going to create a good 714 00:52:20.159 --> 00:52:22.599 like we talked about at the top of the podcast, you know, repetition 715 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:27.159 and honing your craft, like that's going to come with that passion. You 716 00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:29.440 know, you're gonna get it. You're gonna get it, you know, 717 00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:32.760 go after it and don't be oblivious, you know, like don't be oblivious. 718 00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.719 But I mean, like you know, know your talents and just really 719 00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:39.559 go after that. I'm a firm believer in that. My mom was always 720 00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:43.840 the type. She was like, if you book the gig, then work, 721 00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:45.280 and then you can always go back to college. You can always go 722 00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.159 back. Like it's not going that's not going anywhere, but that gig is 723 00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:54.320 not coming back, especially in that business. Yeah, and that was unheard 724 00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:57.840 of. Like all of my other friends where they didn't have that. They 725 00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:00.800 were like, we can't believe your mother is in such full support. And 726 00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:02.519 I mean literally when it was like tough times, I'd be like, well, 727 00:53:02.719 --> 00:53:06.320 I have no money, she was like, give me a few hours 728 00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:07.960 and she'd go have a garage sale and then there's like the money's in your 729 00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:14.719 account. Like she was determined to keep me there. She's like this is 730 00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:21.400 so cool. Yeah, yeah, she's amazing. That worked out, it 731 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:25.000 did. She was betting on you. She was on the college. Yeah, 732 00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:29.519 she was just because she knew, like she wished her parents had been 733 00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:30.519 that, because she would have done the same thing. She would have been 734 00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:34.840 an actress, she'd have done something, and she wished that she had that 735 00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:37.800 kind of support back in the back in the day, they were like, 736 00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:42.000 no, you need to learn how to do something. Yeah. Yeah, 737 00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:46.000 Well my dad was the oldest boy in the family, Irish Catholic, a 738 00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:51.239 lot of a lot of kids, and in the depression hit and he had 739 00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:53.920 to quit school and go to work to support the rest of you know, 740 00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:58.599 help support the family, the family. So yeah, you know, and 741 00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:00.719 he was all about, oh, you better get your ass to college and 742 00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:07.119 this and that and okay, but no, you know, and I'm busy. 743 00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:09.199 What do you mean you're busy.
