Speaker 1 (00:00):
One of three five Kiss FM, and it's Paulina here.
I'm so excited for my guest today. I am like
be on thrilled because not only am I like a
stand of your show, but I'm a stand of you
guys as well. So it's kind of like I'm like, Oh,
this is both the worlds I have.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Of course I.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Have Netflix season three, we have Ginny and Georgia stars here.
I'm so excited Briann is here and of course Tony
is here.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
How are you guys? Good? Are you? Thank you so
much for having us.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I'm so excited that you guys are here, so thank
you for joining us here in Chicago. First things First,
have you both been to the city before? No, this
is my first time stop it right now.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I have. I shot a show out here many years ago. Nice, nice,
love it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I was gonna say, like, what's your favorite part so
far as far as being back, Like, what do you
love about it?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I was telling Tony earlier I wish I was staying
longer because I was obsessed with doing the architecture cruise. Yes,
any time anyone came to visit me, I would take
them there. I did it. Maybe thirty five times. I
loved it so much. I love the architecture here, and
I wish I could go do it again.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I know, I wish you were here longer. It's so
so much fun.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Oh my god, No, it's a good one. I haven't
done it and I've been born and raised to my God.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So I'll join you. I would take you if I
had more time.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, thank you, I appreciate your thinking. Maybe so first
and foremost season three, I think we kind of get
introduced or reintroduced to your characters again, right we are.
It's a little dramatic, right, I mean we've had very dramatic.
That's even a little bit very dramatic. So with that
being said, I kind of want to know from each
of you how your characters have developed throughout the seasons, right,
(01:30):
and kind of how you feel relates as far as
like a mother daughter dynamic, because you play mother and
daughter on the show, so I want to know, like
a how your characters have both evolved. And then also
when I'm a new mom and I know you have.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
A two year old, I have a one year old,
I'll thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Thank you so being a mom now I see life
very differently so when I'm watching your dynamic personally, I'm
looking at you guys, and I'm like, huh, if I
wasn't a mom, I don't know if I would see
life or see this situation maybe the same. So I
know I've changed in the past year, and I'm curious
if you guys have sort of seen your characters change,
but also like yourselves changed within the character.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Definitely, Yeah, I mean they've changed so much. I think
I would say season three we see Georgia change the most.
She's almost unrecognizable in my opinion, from the first episode
of season three to the final episode of season three,
which I think is necessary. I'm glad that we're starting
to see some change. I think it's very very important.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, I think Georgia's change kind of happens in more
of a positive way, where she's like broken down, but
then she's finally starting to take steps to sort of
get on the right track and like break some of
the habits and behaviors that are maybe negative or detrimental
and affecting her kids. Yeah, but then with Ginny, it's
like she's having a taste for the first time what
(02:49):
it's like to really break the rules and bend things
into your own will so that you can get the
outcome that you want. And she is finding out what
it means to really go to such great links for
the people you like, but it's not necessarily the greatest
choice to make. So yeah, we see a version of
Genny sort of turning into her mom a little bit.
(03:09):
And I think for Georgia, we see her sort of
trying to rebuild herself and become a better version of
herself for your kids. But of course in Genia Georgia fashion, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And I think that's like an interesting point too, where it's.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I feel like, obviously we evolve as people, but I
think sometimes as we get older, I think we almost
evolve into like not our parents necessarily, but like the
people around us.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Right, of course it's nature versus nurture most definitely. And
I think, yeah, we finally see Georgia starts to, you know,
ask for a little bit of help, and she, you know,
spending less time with her kids this season I think
was her real real wake up call when she hit
her rock bottom percent.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
How do you think the show also represents like the
mother daughter dynamic today? Right, because I feel like I
have a daughter, and I know you to do. I
feel like my mother is an eye relationship. Like I
know that as a teenager, maybe it wasn't the greatest,
and today as an older it's.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
So much better.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
But I look at a lot of teens today, right,
and my daughter's not there yet. But I'm like, I
want to make sure that she knows that, like I'm
her number one supporter, I'm her best friend. I want
her to know that, like I'm always gonna be here
for you. I am your mother. But I do think
it's so hard today with like social media and just
like everything you know happening in the world. Sometimes I'm like,
this is hard, right, So I mean, growing up, did
you guys both kind of have great relationships with with
(04:30):
your parents. Your moms was a little more complex. You
see your your childhood, your your teen years in your character.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I mean, I had a very different relationship with my
mother than Jinny has with hers. But I think, yeah,
like as you get older, you sort of look back
at that time and any of the things that we
might have bumped heads over, right, then I completely have
changed the way I view those situations, and we give
each other more grace there's a lot more forgiveness, and
(05:00):
I am. I'm a lot closer to my mom now
as an adult than I was as a teenager, and
I think that's a natural thing. But also, yeah, like
you said, with social media, there's no way that you're
going to be able to protect your child from everything,
especially with the world being right at their fingertips, and
so I think that's sort of a universal thing with
Ginny and Georgia. It's like george is trying so hard
(05:21):
to protect her kids from the life that she had
and the experiences she had, but no matter what she does,
eventually it can catch up to you, and it's going
to happen anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
You can only protect them so much. Yeah, Well, and
Georgia didn't realize she really needed to be protecting her
kids from herself, right, She's slowly coming to that realization.
But yeah, I grew up fairly similar. Actually, I grew
up with a really young single mom. My mom had
me at twenty one, and so much of the relationship
between Ginny and Georgia truly just resonated with me throughout
(05:51):
the audition process and when I was reading the scripts
because my mom and I didn't have a ton of boundaries,
and we over shared with each other and we were
a little bit ameshed totally. But and there are pieces
of that that I would love to impart on my
relationship with my daughter. I hope my daughter's as transparent
with me as Ginny is well for the most part.
(06:13):
But of course we don't want to take everything from
the Ginny and Georgia relationship, but there are pieces of
it that absolutely I admire.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Definitely, I admire the openness, I think ultimately.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And their intimacy and the love that they have for
each other and the lengths that they go to for
each other. I think definitely.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
My mom had my brother at nineteen, that's right, and
so she had that sort of experience in raising him
as a single mom untild she met my dad. But yeah,
they my brother and my mom have a very different
sort of relationship that I even witness and I feel
like her having experienced what that's like with him and
then having me, you can see that like there were
(06:50):
some things that she was like, Okay, maybe I'll try
it a little differently with my second child. So it's
very much a learning process and like no one you're
doing it for the first time, like your mother for
the first time. Every single day, it's like that's a
new day that you're being a mom in that moment,
and and and so and your children are experiencing life
for the for everyone's experiencing your life for the first time.
(07:11):
And so I think that's sort of your mistakes that
you learn from, you sort of implement, and you you
don't want to repeat with you know, your next children.
So hopefully, hopefully Austin.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Has like has a different relationship with will only continue
to see more how that is explored this season. I
think we're all very curious what's going to come of
poor Austin.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, but see it's relatable, and thank you both for sharing. Honestly,
I think that's that's so real and yeah, extremely relatable.
Like my mom and my sister, we have different fathers
and boyle boy do have different relationship with our mom.
You know, at least growing.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Up, there's no right or wrong. And that's when I
left so much about the show that we're no one's
telling you how how to be a mom exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Point of this exactly I love.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And one thing that I also love about the show
is that, like, yes, serious topics like we're obviously like murder,
I don't you know, we don't like the way that
the humor comes out right.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Characters, like you know, I'm like, okay, get it.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But like I also love, just like obviously like the
characters you play, and like, you know, obviously the way
that they are, the dynamic, the family everything. But then
I'm also like, I love that there's like sprinkles of comedy. Yeah,
like you just you make it a little lighter, so
I'm not like watching like a true true crime documentary.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's a very specific tone. Yeah, there's dark humor in there, absolutely,
and it's tongue in cheek and it's self aware and
it's culturally relevant.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah. I think if we can't laugh at the absurdity
of life, then there's no point in telling a story
about it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Percent undred percent.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
We live our lives every day knowing the stakes, you know,
And it's like having a bit of levity in a
show that means so much to it's more than entertainment,
but we need that to sort of like be able
to release from all the stress.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It's cathartic.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, it's cathartic. Every episode stressful.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh no, I was gonna ask like have you you know,
when you've talked to any fans of the show, what
are their favorite parts as far as relatability, right or
maybe parts that they just enjoy. What do you hear
the most?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I mean really everything, yeah from you know, because I
think the demographic is so wide, Like there's someone that
in the show for everyone, which which is amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I think the show really reflects back the modern day
experience of what's happening right now.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, whether it's the friendship, the high school friendship in
may or their individual like struggles or the single mom
story designer, you know, whatever it may be.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
There's like the mother daughter. I get a lot of
people coming up to me about the mother daughter relationship of.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Course, yeah, especially too, like being a girl mom now, Like, well, boy,
those years are going to be something I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But I know that, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's a part of life, right, and relationships are going
to change evol But I think we could be the
best moms we can be to our kids. And I
think that's like what we can do, right except the
foundation be available.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
For our kids.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Love our children, yeah, and yeah, you know, just make
them good people's.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Exactly, hold space for them. And have the hard conversations.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
It's amazing. Well, thank you all for being here so much.
Where can we catch season three?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
