Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to Go Ask Alli, a production of Shonda Land
Audio and partnership with I Heart Radio. It's Sally. Check
this out from part one of the Brooken Alley Crossover.
I had a now what moment in my twenties when
I I didn't get into a dance company. It was
(00:21):
so embarrassing to me to be a famous person right
and go out for this, really put myself out there
and not be good enough. And that summer I took
four and five dance classes a day and I got
back in freshman week, I tried out for all of
the different things again and I got into So. Yeah,
(00:44):
you have like a real workhorse sensibility. Yeah, welcome to
go ask Alli. I'm Alli Wentworth And today I'm doing
something a little bit different. I have my bestie Brooke
Shield here and on her podcast Now What, I got
to ask her a bunch of questions, uh, and even
(01:07):
play a little game called would you Ever? And now
on my podcast, I'm going to play a game with
her called Bad Choices. I don't know if you guys
know this game, but Bad Choices is a hilarious way
to get a group of people to really tell some
funny stories about themselves. So uh. Disclaimer, I bought the box,
(01:29):
a brand new box of bad choices. I just shuffled
it and I split the shuffle. And Brooke has a
bunch of questions and I have a bunch of questions,
and we're gonna take turns picking a card. These are
not pre positioned and asking each other questions which will
prompt I think some very funny stories. Okay, So, brook Shields,
(01:49):
do you want me to start? Okay, I'm gonna pick
a card, and I'm going to ask you this question.
Would you ever have sex in your life for three
million dollars with a stranger? I think I probably would. Okay,
you would probably? All right, Brookshields will have sex with
a stranger for three million dollars. Okay, that was but
(02:13):
she easier than I thought, asked me. Okay, here's a question.
If you could, would you sleep your way to the
top if I could? When I say, I would not,
And I'll tell you why because I never made it
to the top, and I just assume it's not so
great up there. I'm also mediocre in bed, so I
(02:34):
don't think even if I put my that's foot forward.
First of all, I don't, but it goes whatever rifice
that foot goes in. I don't think that I would. Um,
I don't think I would make it to the top.
Can we also ask each other the other questions? Would
you sleep with someone for three million dollars? No, you
would know. I'm picturing the person being like handsome though,
(02:57):
like now that it's it's putin, um and I wouldn't
sleep You said you would, all right, Well I would
if they were cute. There's if you're sleeping with somebody
for three million dollars, they're not going to be cute
because they're having Robert Redford from the proposal. Okay, that's
what I was thinking. By the way, I have been
(03:18):
offered offered um, well, one was twelve camels and the
other one was an undisclosed number. But it was definitely, um,
a someone from the Middle East. But while you were
a virgin, did they ask Yeah, yeah, so as virgin
(03:38):
Brooke golf camels. But then also there was a number
of values somewhere thrown away. But I didn't hear the
number of value. My mom told me. And did you
guys sit down with your accountant and crunch the numbers?
Since the numbers, yes, did you know, wait a second.
So I always hear about a lot of models, especially
(04:02):
when they were younger, they got paid to just be
on somebody's boat, Like you don't have to have sex
with anybody you but they would pay you to be
at a party or on someone's yacht. Did you ever
get those asked? I didn't get paid to do that,
but I have gone on people's yachts, like in the eighties,
where I got gifts like jewelry and stuff like that,
(04:23):
but I didn't have to do anything, and my mom
was with us. But you got jewelry, but I got
jewelry and and you know, taken shopping and so you
were like the first influencer. Yeah, so all right, now
it's my term. Has your friendliness ever been misinterpreted as flirting?
(04:44):
I was always so naive that, yes, it has often
been misinterpreted as flirting. And I'm putting myself in probably
more dangerous situations because I've just been so trusting, you know,
and I and and then just been shocked to find
out that that was what I was putting off. So
(05:05):
so man would say like, oh, I thought we had
a thing because you were so friendly. Yeah, well I
thought that that's what you meant. I was like, no,
I'm just being a kind, fun, good person. But it
was definitely they took it as a rejection. They also
probably took your friendliness as wishful, thinking that it was
flirting too. Probably all right, okay, Um, would you ever
(05:28):
lie about a person to get them fired? No, I
would never lie about a person to get them fired.
Yeah no, unless maybe Michelle Fifer because she took your career,
because she took my career. Um, no, I don't. I
would never lie. I would never lie, but I would
never not lie. If they did do something, I probably
(05:51):
and I would do the same thing. Yeah. I would
never lie to get a person fired just out of spite.
Do you complain a lot about first world problems? Have
you listened to her podcast? I am always saying good
problems to have. I never complain about anything that is
(06:13):
even seemingly just gross. I cringe when I sometimes even
admit to how lucky I am. Yeah, you do complain
a lot about your yacht size. Yeah, well that's different.
And when you don't get to fly private and the
number of crew, and the number of crew they call
you relatable shields. Yeah, all right? Would you spend the
(06:37):
night in a fuse? What would you spend the night
in a full porta potty for ten dollars? Yes, full
meaning it's full of poop. Probably well for twenty four
hours a night a night, Yeah, for ten dollars. Yes,
I would do that for ventilation. You would do it
(06:58):
the same thing I would do it? Ten grand is
ten grand? Have you ever made a New Year's resolution
that lasted less than a week? Don't they all? Yeah?
I don't think I've ever made a New Year's resolution
that lasted more than a week. Me neither. Yeah, and
that's why I don't make them anymore. Yeah, same with me.
I actually made a very distinct decision not to do it. No,
(07:20):
you set yourself up for failure. I don't know how
many times I've been like, I'm only a vegan from
this point forth, and then I went to basketball, I'm
not going to drink anymore alcohol. Yeah, that does not
last in my life. Yeah, well there you go. So
I just don't do it. No resolution resolutions and you
can't fail. No, No, But I do look back at
(07:43):
the things that I'm the happiest and of that year,
and when I'm most proud of like I look back with, Oh,
that's the positive way positive, rather than I'm going to
deny myself this or from now on, I'm going to
be this. I think that's good. I like I like
a retrospective rather than a Okay, okay, would you be
(08:05):
willing to look ten years older in order to retire
ten years earlier? Never? Well, only because I've been SENTI
retired my whole life. I'm never retiring by the way,
I know, I'm never retiring either. But so that that
doesn't work for me, Um, let me ask you a question. Okay,
(08:26):
would you trade youthful? No, your feet, nobody will trade
with you. Would you trade always looking youthful being heavy
with being very very thin but aging? Mm hmm. That's
(08:47):
a that is a very interesting question. Okay, so that
the obviously real, honest answer is I think youthful and
enjoying your life and gay gaining meaning eating what you want,
enjoying your life, drinking, eating and you know, um, that
signifies confidence and joy. But because I've always worried about
(09:14):
my size, but because you're so tall, yeah, because I'm tall,
and because I'm big, I'm bigger, like gaining weight is
um it's stressful for me, and it really kind of
it reeks a little havoc on my on my self, esteam,
but I look younger, and I prefer to look more
(09:35):
youthful and plumper. Now you look all all right? Who's
turning it to ask me? I guess ask you? Okay?
Have you ever had more than eight shots in one night?
Have I ever had more than eight shots of No?
I'm not a drinker, as you know. And the last
time I was actually drunk was when I went on
(09:55):
a date with my now husband and I drank a
gin and tonic and general mess you up. But one
gen and tonic and I was, you know, pole dancing
at a very respectable restaurant. So I there wasn't there
wasn't a pole. So eight shots, um would put me
in the emergency room. So no, I think eight shots
(10:16):
would put me in the emergency room too. I don't
think you've done eight shots? Eight really? I see you
in Mongolia with a fur hat going and turning the
cup over. No, no, no, do you think you would
give the best lap dance in the room. You're gonna
say yes, yes, because I worked really hard to be
a good dancer. When I was at Princeton. No, I
(10:37):
would be the most awkward lap dancer. Yeah, it would
be so comical that would know. I would be a
horrible lap dancer. Oh, you'd be pretty good, really, thank you.
I think so you'd be the kind of person that
would be like, oh, you don't have to give me
a dollar, and you'd be making change instead of dancing.
I'd pull the change out from somewhere chicking. Have you
(11:01):
ever thrown a party for a pet. I have had popsicles,
pup pup popsicle for Pepper on her birthday. That was
the closest thing. And I never did it on my own,
but my girls wanted to put a little hat on
her and sure, not a full party. Well, I have
to tell you, before I had kids, Um, I've always
(11:23):
had dogs, you know, and I treat them like my children.
I was living in l A. And I had a
full birthday party for my dog Trout. I invited like
fifteen people over, so I had human food and then
I had a buffet of dog food, you know, like
meatloaf and all kinds of stuff, and they brought their
(11:43):
dogs and we had the dogs had to wear hats.
And then I brought out a birthday cake they made
out of alpo and biscuits and all kinds of stuff,
And at the time it seemed like a really fun
thing to do. But in retrospect it makes me sad
for myself. I'm sad for you. Yeah, I'm a little
(12:03):
sad for you. Yeah, well that's me. Have you ever
looked through someone's wallet while they were out of the room. Um,
not as an adult, but I did um pinch a
few five verse when I was a kid, Like if
my mom was upstairs, I would take money out of
her wallet to go meet friends for candy or go
(12:24):
to a movie. Um. I probably have taken money out
of George's wallet, but not out of a friend or
a stranger. I've taken some money out of Chris's, but
I think he knows about it. It's not like I
waited till you. That was for drugs. That was for drugs. Um.
I have looked in my kid's wallets when they haven't
been because I wanted to see if they had fake
(12:46):
ideas and if they had taken my money, which every
time I go to my wallet, I know that there
was money there and it's miraculously gone. They took it
and it's time for a short break. Great, let's get
(13:10):
back to it. This is a funny story. I found
a small brick of fifty dollar bills hidden in my
youngest daughter's room and I was freaked out and I
called my husband and I said, oh my god, Harper's
a prostitute. And he said, what are you talking about.
I said, I found a brick of fifty dollar bills.
(13:31):
He goes, well, what if she's not a prostitute. What
if she's a drug dealer. And we got into a
huge discussion about which was worse, like what should we do?
Is she's a drug dealer, you know? Is she is
she the kingpin? Like who works for her? If she's
a prostitute, like she doing it out of the apartment.
So finally she comes home from school and I have
been sweating about it, and I said, honey, can you
(13:52):
come sit down. Um, I found the money in your room.
So which is it? Are you a sex worker or
are you dealing drugs? And she goes, I was a
counselor at camps all last summer and those were the
tips from the parents that I went to the bank
and I put them in fifties to put them in
my savings account for books for college. And we were like, okay,
good talk how bad we were? All right? Whose turn is?
(14:15):
Yours are mine? Um? Um, oh, do you masturbate more
than you have sex? O? U I'm so glad you've
got that one. Um No, do you have sex more
than look good for you? That's one to talk. Oh,
(14:36):
if I have that kind of time, I'm going to
do the laundry. I'm gonna do something else. Yeah, it's
a yeah. Well so, I mean some women find it
incredibly empowering and fantastic. I'm I think your producers would
agree that they masturbate all the time and they get
a lot out of right now, Yeah, okay, good. Have
(14:57):
you ever secretly thought that you would make a really
good gangster? Oh my god, I'd be the worst gangster.
First of all, I would I dropped the gun. I
don't know how to. I've never held a gun, so
I would probably if I pulled out a weapon, it
would be facing myself. Um. Second of all, I never
want to hurt people's feelings, and I don't think you
(15:18):
can be a gangster without hurting, you know, let alone
killing them. But I mean, I think I would make
a really good um like I wouldn't wouldn't be like
the small guy that would do the killing, but I'd
be a good godfather. No, I'd be like the cross
eyed guy that has to go bury everybody in the
field and New Jersey. Yeah, and I'd mess it up
(15:40):
and I tracked, you know, my footprints all over the dirt.
You know, I'd be a horrible gangster. Have you ever
thrown up in a taxi or an uber? I have
never thrown up in a taxi or an uber. I
Have you have? Yeah? I once got an inner ear
infection and George and I were watching the jutt Apatow
(16:02):
movie This Is Forty and I got really dizzy. I
started throwing up, and we got into a taxi and
I couldn't help. But you know, when you have like vertigo,
you throw up. And I started throwing up, and the
guy kicked us out on the street because he thought
I was drunk. And so now we're in Times Square
in New York and I'm continually throwing up, and then
I start hearing um, oh my god, she's wasted and
(16:23):
all this kind of stuff, and I was like, no,
it's very to go. He kept trying to defend myself,
but it was horrible and I felt really bad for
the taxi driver. And my husband was like, you know,
we'll pay for the dry cleaning, and I'm like, the
dry cleaning of the car, um. But it must be
a nightmare for anybody who works in public transportation when
(16:44):
somebody gets set and you know what happens all the time,
all the time. I mean, I've never done it, but
I have shot in my pants in a car. You've
I'm sorry, you've you've shipped your pants in a car. Well.
I managed to sort of raised myself up off the seat,
but I had that noro virus. Oh my god. And
(17:06):
as we were arriving at the Heathrow Airport to fly
to Ireland, and I was like, oh oh no, and
they the guy behind the desk said, oh she she
nervous flyer. Then they give her a room and they
put me in a breastfeeding room, giving me privacy. I
(17:30):
just wanted the bathroom give me. And there was no sink,
no waste paper basket, no nothing. There was a chair
to breastfeed a baby, and I like coughed and everything everywhere.
I mean, I just just what did you do? You
didn't get on the planet? All right? God help the
person that sat next to you. And I know, I
(17:50):
went out to my husband and I was like, I
just boomed my pet. There's nothing hotter than that, I know.
And and Rowan had a pair of um growing your
daughter my daughter rowing out a pair of jeans in
her backpack. Finally found the bathroom and did a whole.
It didn't happen again. Not the poop didn't happen again.
(18:12):
But I threw up every ten minutes. Oh God, the
neurovirus brutal? Um. Have you ever apologized after sex? That's
all I do is apologize after sex. I'm I'm sorry.
I'll be better next time. Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
I'm sure yes I have gone skinny, But I mean
the question is, have you ever won a bathing suit?
(18:33):
Brook Shield? Um? Have you ever tried to hack into
someone's social media account? Hack into it? No, not even
your daughters. I don't have to hack into it. Why
is that? Because? Um, we've always had a babysitter who
had access to it. If you, if you could, would
(18:56):
you hack into somebody's UM? If I found like it
was for my my safety, my kid's safety. All right,
let me ask you this, what if you had two hours,
and I want the listeners to think about these questions
as we asked them as well. If you had two
hours where you could hack into anybody's email in the
(19:18):
world without any repercussions, A would you and who's computer
would you hack into? You've got two hours? I mean
I don't feel I would not feel right like hacking
into it unless it was some something like the president
(19:39):
or like, hey, this is a game. Okay, well, I
mean I would so do it, you know, but I
would know who to do. I mean it would have
to be something in like the deep secret in the
government or something I would love to really I would.
I think I would. I'd hack Trump's computer. I would
hack all the Kardashian's computers. Um, I think i'd hack
(20:04):
Johnny Depps just for ships and giggles. Clarence Thomas, I mean,
I mean there's no repercussion. I mean I would want
to know truths, the truth of that or just like
how how do they correspond? You know, what are their apps?
I think it would be fun. Yeah, I would be interested.
(20:25):
I think that we should have one day a year
where you get an hour where you get to hack anybody.
It would be like the purt I was going to say,
it's like the part um. Have you ever gone out
with the intention of having a one night stand? Never?
Do you know, I've never had a one night stand.
I've never had a one night stand. Yeah, yeah, there's
still time. I It never appealed to me. I've always
(20:48):
been somebody I have to be attracted and I also
have to think that there's potential, there's going to be
a relationship. So the idea of hooking up with somebody
that I did think i'd be I could fall in
love with, was never appealing to me. I did try
to quote unquote so my oats what one time when
(21:09):
I was like, Okay, I'm not married and I'm just
gonna revisit all my old like flames with just the
intention of that, And I got not one taker. You
didn't get a taker, really, I'm sure my brother would have.
(21:30):
I could have gotten somebody. We'll be right back and
we're back. Could you have a long term relationship with
someone who is completely different political views than you? Oh?
(21:54):
Long term? Yeah? Could you be married basically to somebody
that had opposing plitical views. I really do not think
I could. I don't think. I don't think I could.
I'm okay to disagree, but I can't fundamentally and who
your character, particularly in the past six years. I think
(22:15):
in the past, for me, I would have been more tolerant.
We're so stream now we're so polarized. I mean, I'm
having a hard time with a with friendship because it's
so I mean, I've I go out of my way
to absolutely not discuss anything because I don't want it's
(22:39):
too painful for me. How opposite it's it's like tribal warfare. Now.
In fact, when George and I first got married, James
Carvil and Mary Matlin who were famously Republican and a Democrat,
and they've been married forever. But you know, back then,
you Democrats, Republicans, you know you could be married and
sort of have off an ideas about tax breaks. But
(23:02):
now it's I think it's literally impossible. God, So would
you pose as a nude model for an art class? Yes,
I would post for as have you post as a
nude model for an art Not for an art class,
but for an artist. Isn't fully nude it was just topless.
(23:22):
For Robert Graham, who is it? An famous sculpture, incredible sculptor. Yeah, um,
I wouldn't. I'm too. I can't even look at myself
naked in the mirror, so I can't imagine posing for
and I listen. I'm always in awe of people that
do that, that post nude for art classes. Yeah, I
I did. Um, I'm on the board of the New
(23:44):
York Academy of Art, and I was. I did the
drawing party for Take Home a Nude And but I
didn't have to be fully. I just had like a
little teeny slip on. They didn't needn't asked me to
be totally nude. But with for Robert Graham and for
Frederick Hart, who was also a sculptor who sculpted the
(24:05):
National Cathedral for him, good for you. No one's asked me,
not even my husband, to post Do you have a
hidden body piercing or tattoos? I have no tattoos. I
have no piercings. Do you you have one tattoo? I
have three tattoos. You have the Last Supper on your back? Um?
(24:28):
I have um angel wings on my back. Um, I
have four tattoos, What are they and why? First one
was a lily of the valley on my ankle from
my mom. She always wanted did you get a tattoo
when you watched her virginity or it's did yeah? I
checked the bot. It was a little box and a
chat check um. That was sort of in honor of
(24:51):
my mom, but also because she always wanted one, she
never got one. And then Chris and I got matching tattoos.
Have one right of here on my bikini line, and
that's the same one he has his arm. She's pointing
to her private and then h Rowan and I got
a a ladybook, a lady book on your wrist. Three
and the fourth one is a proise a prayer that
(25:14):
I got in Thailand, but it bled, so I'm getting
it removed. Tell me about tattoos, because I I've I've
never gotten a tattoo. I don't understand tattoos. I won't
let my kids get tattoos. I just feel like, if
you make a mistake, you can't It's it's a lot too,
it's a lot to undo it. I mean that they're
in places that sort of are covered, so they don't
I don't like big big ones. I mean, I think
(25:36):
you can. I don't know. It's just it's like I
have multiple piercings to you know what I mean. Like
that's my idea of being rebellious. I find that so
fascinating because you were such a famously natural beauty that
I think I would never I would never touch it.
I think it felt edgy for me when I when
(25:59):
I wanted to do it, and it feels badass for
some stupid reason. I don't. I don't regret them. The
only one I regret as the prayer. What's the what's
your favorite part of your body? Um? If you had
to donate something about your physicality of science, what would
it be? I mean my legs. I like my legs.
(26:19):
That's your favorite part over your eyebrows and my eyebrows
are are my eyebrows. But I've always been like a
leg person. M So I like, I just I love
the strength of my legs. I love that they dance that,
you know what I mean? That they just have a purpose.
All right, So I'm gonna end our go ask Gali.
(26:39):
Fun Bad Choices podcast with each of us gets to
make up a question so you can ask me anything,
and then I'm going to ask you anything. Okay, Um,
if you could have a dream job, what would the
perfect job environment be? Uh, it's something that I've done before.
(27:02):
But I would like to write, create, act in a
piece of film or television. I like having full creative
control over something. Um. I'm not going to say I'd
like to be President United States and put everybody back
on track because I wouldn't know what the hell I
was doing. But I mean the White House would be
pretty because I would completely change the fabric and the
(27:24):
gardens and the carpeting. But I do love you know,
I'm a creative person and I love to do all
aspects of it. I love that. That is my a.
You can't know it's my dream. Can't show my dream
all right? What is written on Brookshields tombstone? Mine is
(27:48):
I tried my best? Um, I loved deeply. I loved deeply.
That's nice. That would be It would be great. Um. Okay,
Now to book and our two podcasts. Your podcast is
called now What So have you had any now What's
(28:11):
in your fifties? I have had many, now What's in
my fifties? But um, the two primary ones were realizing
that I wanted to start my own company, and really
sort of walking on the beach one day saying, I
don't understand why when a woman is over forty, she
(28:35):
is no longer marketed to in in the world. You're
either in your twenties or your independs. And I just thought,
I feel like I'm embodying my own self. I feel stronger,
I feel ready to begin, and I'm I'm counted out.
I'm put out to pasture and my now what moment
is one of the back nine of my life. And
(28:55):
I wanted to start a company because I wanted to
build a beauty brand that produced products for women over
forty that and resources foremen over forty who want to
start new ventures and new chapters. Listen, we're living so
much longer now that like we're not even middle aged yet.
I want to add a media component to it. I
(29:16):
want to talk about, you know, acting. My favorite thing
in the world is to do comedy, and I feel
I'm atrophying without it. And so part of this this
sort of new version of me, I'm realizing that I
want to develop and I want to I want to
be on TV again and doing what I love to do.
So my now what was? Um, It's it's two things.
(29:41):
One is, I'm almost an empty nester. I have one
more at home and I've been thinking about empty nesting.
And I for my now what, I decided with my husband, George,
to start a production company because we're both storytellers, and
we both decided that when our youngest is gone and
it's just the two of us, what can we do
(30:02):
together that's creative. Um, he plays chess in golf. I'm
not interested in either, and nor does he want to
pick out textiles for pillows. So we started this production
company and it has been fantastic because we are working
together in a way that I mean, we've never worked
(30:23):
together and we're very different. But the idea of storytelling
has been exciting for both of us. So we He's
a voracious reader, so we read a lot of books
and think about, wow, would this be an interesting story
to tell? So that's my uh fifties now what. And
I think the other one was I just had my
(30:44):
mother visit me, and my mother's eighty seven years old,
and we had this great moment where we were sitting
and talking and I said, what advice can you give me?
You know, I'm I'm looking at you and you're this
still very vibrant eighty seven year old woman. What advice
can give me? And she said, exercise, exercise, exercise, keep
your body strong, because when you get to be my
(31:06):
age and you haven't done that, you know, your body
starts to break down. You you lose muscle. And so
that was like a real aha moment to me, like, yes,
I gotta keep my body strong for balance, for everything.
And the other thing was, um, she said, keep your
mind strong. Read a lot, think about a lot. You know,
they're they're a positive attitude is also really helpful. And
(31:28):
even though these things sound like such cliche things, when
you get older, they really make an impact. And so
my what now is I gotta keep my body strong
and I gotta keep being curious. Yeah, and that's I mean,
I when I mother, Now what moments when I broke
my femur and I had to learn how to walk again,
And there's my body really showed up for me because
(31:53):
I work out a lot and have worked out a
lot and really have you know, and I have very
strong bone density and everything, and but it just reaffirmed
I was like, wow, do I just give it all
up or do I? Now? What what do I do?
And I just I was avaricious in my rehab and
I'm you know, I don't have all my mobility yet,
(32:14):
but you have to make a decision to keep your
body and your mind. She's right, which I think is
a big conversation that we need to have at our age,
which is like, yeah, this is what we need to do.
No one talks about. It's so secretive, but like, yeah,
be strong, swim lelaps, go for walks, you know, read,
stay vibrant and laugh. To me is the greatest medicine
(32:35):
of all. So and if you listen to this podcast

Welcome to Go Ask Alli, a production of Shonda Land
Audio and partnership with I Heart Radio. It's Sally. Check
this out from part one of the Brooken Alley Crossover.
I had a now what moment in my twenties when
I I didn't get into a dance company. It was
(00:21):
so embarrassing to me to be a famous person right
and go out for this, really put myself out there
and not be good enough. And that summer I took
four and five dance classes a day and I got
back in freshman week, I tried out for all of
the different things again and I got into So. Yeah,
(00:44):
you have like a real workhorse sensibility. Yeah, welcome to
go ask Alli. I'm Alli Wentworth And today I'm doing
something a little bit different. I have my bestie Brooke
Shield here and on her podcast Now What, I got
to ask her a bunch of questions, uh, and even
(01:07):
play a little game called would you Ever? And now
on my podcast, I'm going to play a game with
her called Bad Choices. I don't know if you guys
know this game, but Bad Choices is a hilarious way
to get a group of people to really tell some
funny stories about themselves. So uh. Disclaimer, I bought the box,
(01:29):
a brand new box of bad choices. I just shuffled
it and I split the shuffle. And Brooke has a
bunch of questions and I have a bunch of questions,
and we're gonna take turns picking a card. These are
not pre positioned and asking each other questions which will
prompt I think some very funny stories. Okay, So, brook Shields,
(01:49):
do you want me to start? Okay, I'm gonna pick
a card, and I'm going to ask you this question.
Would you ever have sex in your life for three
million dollars with a stranger? I think I probably would. Okay,
you would probably? All right, Brookshields will have sex with
a stranger for three million dollars. Okay, that was but
(02:13):
she easier than I thought, asked me. Okay, here's a question.
If you could, would you sleep your way to the
top if I could? When I say, I would not,
And I'll tell you why because I never made it
to the top, and I just assume it's not so
great up there. I'm also mediocre in bed, so I
(02:34):
don't think even if I put my that's foot forward.
First of all, I don't, but it goes whatever rifice
that foot goes in. I don't think that I would. Um,
I don't think I would make it to the top.
Can we also ask each other the other questions? Would
you sleep with someone for three million dollars? No, you
would know. I'm picturing the person being like handsome though,
(02:57):
like now that it's it's putin, um and I wouldn't
sleep You said you would, all right, Well I would
if they were cute. There's if you're sleeping with somebody
for three million dollars, they're not going to be cute
because they're having Robert Redford from the proposal. Okay, that's
what I was thinking. By the way, I have been
(03:18):
offered offered um, well, one was twelve camels and the
other one was an undisclosed number. But it was definitely, um,
a someone from the Middle East. But while you were
a virgin, did they ask Yeah, yeah, so as virgin
(03:38):
Brooke golf camels. But then also there was a number
of values somewhere thrown away. But I didn't hear the
number of value. My mom told me. And did you
guys sit down with your accountant and crunch the numbers?
Since the numbers, yes, did you know, wait a second.
So I always hear about a lot of models, especially
(04:02):
when they were younger, they got paid to just be
on somebody's boat, Like you don't have to have sex
with anybody you but they would pay you to be
at a party or on someone's yacht. Did you ever
get those asked? I didn't get paid to do that,
but I have gone on people's yachts, like in the eighties,
where I got gifts like jewelry and stuff like that,
(04:23):
but I didn't have to do anything, and my mom
was with us. But you got jewelry, but I got
jewelry and and you know, taken shopping and so you
were like the first influencer. Yeah, so all right, now
it's my term. Has your friendliness ever been misinterpreted as flirting?
(04:44):
I was always so naive that, yes, it has often
been misinterpreted as flirting. And I'm putting myself in probably
more dangerous situations because I've just been so trusting, you know,
and I and and then just been shocked to find
out that that was what I was putting off. So
(05:05):
so man would say like, oh, I thought we had
a thing because you were so friendly. Yeah, well I
thought that that's what you meant. I was like, no,
I'm just being a kind, fun, good person. But it
was definitely they took it as a rejection. They also
probably took your friendliness as wishful, thinking that it was
flirting too. Probably all right, okay, Um, would you ever
(05:28):
lie about a person to get them fired? No, I
would never lie about a person to get them fired.
Yeah no, unless maybe Michelle Fifer because she took your career,
because she took my career. Um, no, I don't. I
would never lie. I would never lie, but I would
never not lie. If they did do something, I probably
(05:51):
and I would do the same thing. Yeah. I would
never lie to get a person fired just out of spite.
Do you complain a lot about first world problems? Have
you listened to her podcast? I am always saying good
problems to have. I never complain about anything that is
(06:13):
even seemingly just gross. I cringe when I sometimes even
admit to how lucky I am. Yeah, you do complain
a lot about your yacht size. Yeah, well that's different.
And when you don't get to fly private and the
number of crew, and the number of crew they call
you relatable shields. Yeah, all right? Would you spend the
(06:37):
night in a fuse? What would you spend the night
in a full porta potty for ten dollars? Yes, full
meaning it's full of poop. Probably well for twenty four
hours a night a night, Yeah, for ten dollars. Yes,
I would do that for ventilation. You would do it
(06:58):
the same thing I would do it? Ten grand is
ten grand? Have you ever made a New Year's resolution
that lasted less than a week? Don't they all? Yeah?
I don't think I've ever made a New Year's resolution
that lasted more than a week. Me neither. Yeah, and
that's why I don't make them anymore. Yeah, same with me.
I actually made a very distinct decision not to do it. No,
(07:20):
you set yourself up for failure. I don't know how
many times I've been like, I'm only a vegan from
this point forth, and then I went to basketball, I'm
not going to drink anymore alcohol. Yeah, that does not
last in my life. Yeah, well there you go. So
I just don't do it. No resolution resolutions and you
can't fail. No, No, But I do look back at
(07:43):
the things that I'm the happiest and of that year,
and when I'm most proud of like I look back with, Oh,
that's the positive way positive, rather than I'm going to
deny myself this or from now on, I'm going to
be this. I think that's good. I like I like
a retrospective rather than a Okay, okay, would you be
(08:05):
willing to look ten years older in order to retire
ten years earlier? Never? Well, only because I've been SENTI
retired my whole life. I'm never retiring by the way,
I know, I'm never retiring either. But so that that
doesn't work for me, Um, let me ask you a question. Okay,
(08:26):
would you trade youthful? No, your feet, nobody will trade
with you. Would you trade always looking youthful being heavy
with being very very thin but aging? Mm hmm. That's
(08:47):
a that is a very interesting question. Okay, so that
the obviously real, honest answer is I think youthful and
enjoying your life and gay gaining meaning eating what you want,
enjoying your life, drinking, eating and you know, um, that
signifies confidence and joy. But because I've always worried about
(09:14):
my size, but because you're so tall, yeah, because I'm tall,
and because I'm big, I'm bigger, like gaining weight is
um it's stressful for me, and it really kind of
it reeks a little havoc on my on my self, esteam,
but I look younger, and I prefer to look more
(09:35):
youthful and plumper. Now you look all all right? Who's
turning it to ask me? I guess ask you? Okay?
Have you ever had more than eight shots in one night?
Have I ever had more than eight shots of No?
I'm not a drinker, as you know. And the last
time I was actually drunk was when I went on
(09:55):
a date with my now husband and I drank a
gin and tonic and general mess you up. But one
gen and tonic and I was, you know, pole dancing
at a very respectable restaurant. So I there wasn't there
wasn't a pole. So eight shots, um would put me
in the emergency room. So no, I think eight shots
(10:16):
would put me in the emergency room too. I don't
think you've done eight shots? Eight really? I see you
in Mongolia with a fur hat going and turning the
cup over. No, no, no, do you think you would
give the best lap dance in the room. You're gonna
say yes, yes, because I worked really hard to be
a good dancer. When I was at Princeton. No, I
(10:37):
would be the most awkward lap dancer. Yeah, it would
be so comical that would know. I would be a
horrible lap dancer. Oh, you'd be pretty good, really, thank you.
I think so you'd be the kind of person that
would be like, oh, you don't have to give me
a dollar, and you'd be making change instead of dancing.
I'd pull the change out from somewhere chicking. Have you
(11:01):
ever thrown a party for a pet. I have had popsicles,
pup pup popsicle for Pepper on her birthday. That was
the closest thing. And I never did it on my own,
but my girls wanted to put a little hat on
her and sure, not a full party. Well, I have
to tell you, before I had kids, Um, I've always
(11:23):
had dogs, you know, and I treat them like my children.
I was living in l A. And I had a
full birthday party for my dog Trout. I invited like
fifteen people over, so I had human food and then
I had a buffet of dog food, you know, like
meatloaf and all kinds of stuff, and they brought their
(11:43):
dogs and we had the dogs had to wear hats.
And then I brought out a birthday cake they made
out of alpo and biscuits and all kinds of stuff,
And at the time it seemed like a really fun
thing to do. But in retrospect it makes me sad
for myself. I'm sad for you. Yeah, I'm a little
(12:03):
sad for you. Yeah, well that's me. Have you ever
looked through someone's wallet while they were out of the room. Um,
not as an adult, but I did um pinch a
few five verse when I was a kid, Like if
my mom was upstairs, I would take money out of
her wallet to go meet friends for candy or go
(12:24):
to a movie. Um. I probably have taken money out
of George's wallet, but not out of a friend or
a stranger. I've taken some money out of Chris's, but
I think he knows about it. It's not like I
waited till you. That was for drugs. That was for drugs. Um.
I have looked in my kid's wallets when they haven't
been because I wanted to see if they had fake
(12:46):
ideas and if they had taken my money, which every
time I go to my wallet, I know that there
was money there and it's miraculously gone. They took it
and it's time for a short break. Great, let's get
(13:10):
back to it. This is a funny story. I found
a small brick of fifty dollar bills hidden in my
youngest daughter's room and I was freaked out and I
called my husband and I said, oh my god, Harper's
a prostitute. And he said, what are you talking about.
I said, I found a brick of fifty dollar bills.
(13:31):
He goes, well, what if she's not a prostitute. What
if she's a drug dealer. And we got into a
huge discussion about which was worse, like what should we do?
Is she's a drug dealer, you know? Is she is
she the kingpin? Like who works for her? If she's
a prostitute, like she doing it out of the apartment.
So finally she comes home from school and I have
been sweating about it, and I said, honey, can you
(13:52):
come sit down. Um, I found the money in your room.
So which is it? Are you a sex worker or
are you dealing drugs? And she goes, I was a
counselor at camps all last summer and those were the
tips from the parents that I went to the bank
and I put them in fifties to put them in
my savings account for books for college. And we were like, okay,
good talk how bad we were? All right? Whose turn is?
(14:15):
Yours are mine? Um? Um, oh, do you masturbate more
than you have sex? O? U I'm so glad you've
got that one. Um No, do you have sex more
than look good for you? That's one to talk. Oh,
(14:36):
if I have that kind of time, I'm going to
do the laundry. I'm gonna do something else. Yeah, it's
a yeah. Well so, I mean some women find it
incredibly empowering and fantastic. I'm I think your producers would
agree that they masturbate all the time and they get
a lot out of right now, Yeah, okay, good. Have
(14:57):
you ever secretly thought that you would make a really
good gangster? Oh my god, I'd be the worst gangster.
First of all, I would I dropped the gun. I
don't know how to. I've never held a gun, so
I would probably if I pulled out a weapon, it
would be facing myself. Um. Second of all, I never
want to hurt people's feelings, and I don't think you
(15:18):
can be a gangster without hurting, you know, let alone
killing them. But I mean, I think I would make
a really good um like I wouldn't wouldn't be like
the small guy that would do the killing, but I'd
be a good godfather. No, I'd be like the cross
eyed guy that has to go bury everybody in the
field and New Jersey. Yeah, and I'd mess it up
(15:40):
and I tracked, you know, my footprints all over the dirt.
You know, I'd be a horrible gangster. Have you ever
thrown up in a taxi or an uber? I have
never thrown up in a taxi or an uber. I
Have you have? Yeah? I once got an inner ear
infection and George and I were watching the jutt Apatow
(16:02):
movie This Is Forty and I got really dizzy. I
started throwing up, and we got into a taxi and
I couldn't help. But you know, when you have like vertigo,
you throw up. And I started throwing up, and the
guy kicked us out on the street because he thought
I was drunk. And so now we're in Times Square
in New York and I'm continually throwing up, and then
I start hearing um, oh my god, she's wasted and
(16:23):
all this kind of stuff, and I was like, no,
it's very to go. He kept trying to defend myself,
but it was horrible and I felt really bad for
the taxi driver. And my husband was like, you know,
we'll pay for the dry cleaning, and I'm like, the
dry cleaning of the car, um. But it must be
a nightmare for anybody who works in public transportation when
(16:44):
somebody gets set and you know what happens all the time,
all the time. I mean, I've never done it, but
I have shot in my pants in a car. You've
I'm sorry, you've you've shipped your pants in a car. Well.
I managed to sort of raised myself up off the seat,
but I had that noro virus. Oh my god. And
(17:06):
as we were arriving at the Heathrow Airport to fly
to Ireland, and I was like, oh oh no, and
they the guy behind the desk said, oh she she
nervous flyer. Then they give her a room and they
put me in a breastfeeding room, giving me privacy. I
(17:30):
just wanted the bathroom give me. And there was no sink,
no waste paper basket, no nothing. There was a chair
to breastfeed a baby, and I like coughed and everything everywhere.
I mean, I just just what did you do? You
didn't get on the planet? All right? God help the
person that sat next to you. And I know, I
(17:50):
went out to my husband and I was like, I
just boomed my pet. There's nothing hotter than that, I know.
And and Rowan had a pair of um growing your
daughter my daughter rowing out a pair of jeans in
her backpack. Finally found the bathroom and did a whole.
It didn't happen again. Not the poop didn't happen again.
(18:12):
But I threw up every ten minutes. Oh God, the
neurovirus brutal? Um. Have you ever apologized after sex? That's
all I do is apologize after sex. I'm I'm sorry.
I'll be better next time. Have you ever gone skinny dipping?
I'm sure yes I have gone skinny, But I mean
the question is, have you ever won a bathing suit?
(18:33):
Brook Shield? Um? Have you ever tried to hack into
someone's social media account? Hack into it? No, not even
your daughters. I don't have to hack into it. Why
is that? Because? Um, we've always had a babysitter who
had access to it. If you, if you could, would
(18:56):
you hack into somebody's UM? If I found like it
was for my my safety, my kid's safety. All right,
let me ask you this, what if you had two hours,
and I want the listeners to think about these questions
as we asked them as well. If you had two
hours where you could hack into anybody's email in the
(19:18):
world without any repercussions, A would you and who's computer
would you hack into? You've got two hours? I mean
I don't feel I would not feel right like hacking
into it unless it was some something like the president
(19:39):
or like, hey, this is a game. Okay, well, I
mean I would so do it, you know, but I
would know who to do. I mean it would have
to be something in like the deep secret in the
government or something I would love to really I would.
I think I would. I'd hack Trump's computer. I would
hack all the Kardashian's computers. Um, I think i'd hack
(20:04):
Johnny Depps just for ships and giggles. Clarence Thomas, I mean,
I mean there's no repercussion. I mean I would want
to know truths, the truth of that or just like
how how do they correspond? You know, what are their apps?
I think it would be fun. Yeah, I would be interested.
(20:25):
I think that we should have one day a year
where you get an hour where you get to hack anybody.
It would be like the purt I was going to say,
it's like the part um. Have you ever gone out
with the intention of having a one night stand? Never?
Do you know, I've never had a one night stand.
I've never had a one night stand. Yeah, yeah, there's
still time. I It never appealed to me. I've always
(20:48):
been somebody I have to be attracted and I also
have to think that there's potential, there's going to be
a relationship. So the idea of hooking up with somebody
that I did think i'd be I could fall in
love with, was never appealing to me. I did try
to quote unquote so my oats what one time when
(21:09):
I was like, Okay, I'm not married and I'm just
gonna revisit all my old like flames with just the
intention of that, And I got not one taker. You
didn't get a taker, really, I'm sure my brother would have.
(21:30):
I could have gotten somebody. We'll be right back and
we're back. Could you have a long term relationship with
someone who is completely different political views than you? Oh?
(21:54):
Long term? Yeah? Could you be married basically to somebody
that had opposing plitical views. I really do not think
I could. I don't think. I don't think I could.
I'm okay to disagree, but I can't fundamentally and who
your character, particularly in the past six years. I think
(22:15):
in the past, for me, I would have been more tolerant.
We're so stream now we're so polarized. I mean, I'm
having a hard time with a with friendship because it's
so I mean, I've I go out of my way
to absolutely not discuss anything because I don't want it's
(22:39):
too painful for me. How opposite it's it's like tribal warfare. Now.
In fact, when George and I first got married, James
Carvil and Mary Matlin who were famously Republican and a Democrat,
and they've been married forever. But you know, back then,
you Democrats, Republicans, you know you could be married and
sort of have off an ideas about tax breaks. But
(23:02):
now it's I think it's literally impossible. God, So would
you pose as a nude model for an art class? Yes,
I would post for as have you post as a
nude model for an art Not for an art class,
but for an artist. Isn't fully nude it was just topless.
(23:22):
For Robert Graham, who is it? An famous sculpture, incredible sculptor. Yeah, um,
I wouldn't. I'm too. I can't even look at myself
naked in the mirror, so I can't imagine posing for
and I listen. I'm always in awe of people that
do that, that post nude for art classes. Yeah, I
I did. Um, I'm on the board of the New
(23:44):
York Academy of Art, and I was. I did the
drawing party for Take Home a Nude And but I
didn't have to be fully. I just had like a
little teeny slip on. They didn't needn't asked me to
be totally nude. But with for Robert Graham and for
Frederick Hart, who was also a sculptor who sculpted the
(24:05):
National Cathedral for him, good for you. No one's asked me,
not even my husband, to post Do you have a
hidden body piercing or tattoos? I have no tattoos. I
have no piercings. Do you you have one tattoo? I
have three tattoos. You have the Last Supper on your back? Um?
(24:28):
I have um angel wings on my back. Um, I
have four tattoos, What are they and why? First one
was a lily of the valley on my ankle from
my mom. She always wanted did you get a tattoo
when you watched her virginity or it's did yeah? I
checked the bot. It was a little box and a
chat check um. That was sort of in honor of
(24:51):
my mom, but also because she always wanted one, she
never got one. And then Chris and I got matching tattoos.
Have one right of here on my bikini line, and
that's the same one he has his arm. She's pointing
to her private and then h Rowan and I got
a a ladybook, a lady book on your wrist. Three
and the fourth one is a proise a prayer that
(25:14):
I got in Thailand, but it bled, so I'm getting
it removed. Tell me about tattoos, because I I've I've
never gotten a tattoo. I don't understand tattoos. I won't
let my kids get tattoos. I just feel like, if
you make a mistake, you can't It's it's a lot too,
it's a lot to undo it. I mean that they're
in places that sort of are covered, so they don't
I don't like big big ones. I mean, I think
(25:36):
you can. I don't know. It's just it's like I
have multiple piercings to you know what I mean. Like
that's my idea of being rebellious. I find that so
fascinating because you were such a famously natural beauty that
I think I would never I would never touch it.
I think it felt edgy for me when I when
(25:59):
I wanted to do it, and it feels badass for
some stupid reason. I don't. I don't regret them. The
only one I regret as the prayer. What's the what's
your favorite part of your body? Um? If you had
to donate something about your physicality of science, what would
it be? I mean my legs. I like my legs.

Fun Bad Choices podcast with each of us gets to
make up a question so you can ask me anything,
and then I'm going to ask you anything. Okay, Um,
if you could have a dream job, what would the
perfect job environment be? Uh, it's something that I've done before.
(27:02):
But I would like to write, create, act in a
piece of film or television. I like having full creative
control over something. Um. I'm not going to say I'd
like to be President United States and put everybody back
on track because I wouldn't know what the hell I
was doing. But I mean the White House would be
pretty because I would completely change the fabric and the
(27:24):
gardens and the carpeting. But I do love you know,
I'm a creative person and I love to do all
aspects of it. I love that. That is my a.
You can't know it's my dream. Can't show my dream
all right? What is written on Brookshields tombstone? Mine is
(27:48):
I tried my best? Um, I loved deeply. I loved deeply.
That's nice. That would be It would be great. Um. Okay,
Now to book and our two podcasts. Your podcast is
called now What So have you had any now What's
(28:11):
in your fifties? I have had many, now What's in
my fifties? But um, the two primary ones were realizing
that I wanted to start my own company, and really
sort of walking on the beach one day saying, I
don't understand why when a woman is over forty, she
(28:35):
is no longer marketed to in in the world. You're
either in your twenties or your independs. And I just thought,
I feel like I'm embodying my own self. I feel stronger,
I feel ready to begin, and I'm I'm counted out.
I'm put out to pasture and my now what moment
is one of the back nine of my life. And
(28:55):
I wanted to start a company because I wanted to
build a beauty brand that produced products for women over
forty that and resources foremen over forty who want to
start new ventures and new chapters. Listen, we're living so
much longer now that like we're not even middle aged yet.
I want to add a media component to it. I
(29:16):
want to talk about, you know, acting. My favorite thing
in the world is to do comedy, and I feel
I'm atrophying without it. And so part of this this
sort of new version of me, I'm realizing that I
want to develop and I want to I want to
be on TV again and doing what I love to do.
So my now what was? Um, It's it's two things.
(29:41):
One is, I'm almost an empty nester. I have one
more at home and I've been thinking about empty nesting.
And I for my now what, I decided with my husband, George,
to start a production company because we're both storytellers, and
we both decided that when our youngest is gone and
it's just the two of us, what can we do
(30:02):
together that's creative. Um, he plays chess in golf. I'm
not interested in either, and nor does he want to
pick out textiles for pillows. So we started this production
company and it has been fantastic because we are working
together in a way that I mean, we've never worked
(30:23):
together and we're very different. But the idea of storytelling
has been exciting for both of us. So we He's
a voracious reader, so we read a lot of books
and think about, wow, would this be an interesting story
to tell? So that's my uh fifties now what. And
I think the other one was I just had my
(30:44):
mother visit me, and my mother's eighty seven years old,
and we had this great moment where we were sitting
and talking and I said, what advice can you give me?
You know, I'm I'm looking at you and you're this
still very vibrant eighty seven year old woman. What advice
can give me? And she said, exercise, exercise, exercise, keep
your body strong, because when you get to be my
(31:06):
age and you haven't done that, you know, your body
starts to break down. You you lose muscle. And so
that was like a real aha moment to me, like, yes,
I gotta keep my body strong for balance, for everything.
And the other thing was, um, she said, keep your
mind strong. Read a lot, think about a lot. You know,
they're they're a positive attitude is also really helpful. And
(31:28):
even though these things sound like such cliche things, when
you get older, they really make an impact. And so
my what now is I gotta keep my body strong
and I gotta keep being curious. Yeah, and that's I mean,
I when I mother, Now what moments when I broke
my femur and I had to learn how to walk again,
And there's my body really showed up for me because
(31:53):
I work out a lot and have worked out a
lot and really have you know, and I have very
strong bone density and everything, and but it just reaffirmed
I was like, wow, do I just give it all
up or do I? Now? What what do I do?
And I just I was avaricious in my rehab and
I'm you know, I don't have all my mobility yet,
(32:14):
but you have to make a decision to keep your
body and your mind. She's right, which I think is
a big conversation that we need to have at our age,
which is like, yeah, this is what we need to do.
No one talks about. It's so secretive, but like, yeah,
be strong, swim lelaps, go for walks, you know, read,
stay vibrant and laugh. To me is the greatest medicine
(32:35):
