Speaker 2 (03:47):
A much better present in terms of coming back to
the industry.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And you have to have that, you know, that metal
to you to find out who you really are, who
you really are and will you do this because I
don't believe it happen chance. That's just me and I'm
crazy like that, because I believe that we are put
into positions that we are meant to be in and
even even though we might not know where it comes from.
You know, it's are you a faithful person? Do you
(04:14):
believe that there's a higher for Okay? I was a
sad mother, loved I was you know what every day?
What I wait.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Every night when I go to bed, Thank God, because
we live in a world where anything can happen any second.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There is then I've had some.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Sitting there ear feet on experiences where I got very
sick without knowing I need a very healthy lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But it's a way. What was that like? Because I
hear a lot of people say I take it care
of myself, I exercise, I eat, Like, how did this happen?
When did you know that you were sick, and you
knew you had to go someplace to get some help.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And so twenty around Colvin, twenty twenty one. I was
losing a lot of weights without even realizing something was
wrong with me, and a doctor was like I got
to give her a lot of credit, and she said,
let's do some blood work and see what's going on.
(05:19):
I was exercise and then she was like, you can't exercise.
I was like, how dare you tell me not to exercise?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I have lots about fifty pounds. Okay, wait a minute,
that's that's a whole person. Oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It was bad.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's a small child. I realized that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Which I didn't know, and it happens to people at
any even in your twenty thirty forty.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And that made me.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
More aware because I was like, no, I want to
take I told, you know, just do it all they
hold me a pathic but my doctor was like, you
need to see and then this knowledge is a sac
although i'd even a die.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I was having tire. Yeah, and you'll have we have
thyroidism yep.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Forms and I gotta send my doctor because he literally
he is in something.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So but he saved me. He puts me on a plan.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And I get to see him today every even today,
every three months.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's why I'm pretty God. I praise to God. I
say God that I'm still here on and I totally
am in agreement with you with that and say to me,
doesn't have anything to do with religion. When you pray,
that's your personal connection. And oftentimes we want to barter
with God. Well I know it it yeah, and let
(06:41):
me do this. Maybe then I go to the doctor
find out what's really wrong with me. And God said, okay,
this is no joking mind mind, I'm strong. I am
a woman and woman could go down and you know
how we are. We will wait until the last minute
before we go and take take care of ourselves. You'll
take care of everybody, I mean on your platform, everybody
(07:02):
in your say, all the community people, the church people.
And then you just trying to figure out what happened
to miss Evil. I know a lad was all up
real tall when we have the seen her in church
lately at you and I'm going to tell I went
to school to be a mortician, and want me to
there are no dead people that look like they that
that look like they're sleeping. They look like dead people,
(07:23):
they're hard like a frozen piece of meat, because that
lets you know that the essence of you, the soul
of you, is just been housing that body for the
time being. He just you know, And and nobody said
was gonna be easy. So if everybody could do, everybody
will be Miss eve Ridges. But that can't we get original,
So okay, So then you you live up in you're
from London, I didn't notice an accent. I do have
(07:45):
an accent.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So I gotta tell you my story is quite you, okay,
because my father was born and.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Him from my grandfather Hot It's.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Ten kids all from the same mother, the same white
so they have three sets between the oldest.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But my grandfather was.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, what he.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Talked his kids was you got to go to school.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
My father was extremely smart. When he turned sixteen, he
had a scholarship to go to Harvard. And when my
dad goes to Harvard, and he's always all his family
members once they kept relocating to Boston. And so Boston
is my adult home from my parents, from.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
My father's side of the family. Where in Africa is
he from Cairo? I love people from all places. So
then you decide, and what was it like making your
decision to come down this path into the entertainment industry
and not just one platform. You know you got you
(08:53):
the fashionista. You know you got a podcast going on.
That's tell them about the podcast. Let's talk about first.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah. So, lash year, I lost my father, who was
such an inspiration to me, to his family, to his friends.
He died unexpectedly.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I had not seen him. I didn't see him for
duty as a while before he.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Passed, but found out he had pancreatic cancer. They did
not tell him and within three weeks.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
He passed away.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But what made me start the podcast was because my
parents had divorced.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
My dad had moved on with someone else.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
My dad helped the present throughout his career. When my
dad got sick, he was in a hospital. This present
did not see my father, my father.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
My heart still bleeds for my father when I speak
about it. This podcast was.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Me using my voice to honor my father's legacy. My
mother had passed, but mostly because of the events of
what happened last year, I was on a journey to
learn from others.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I wanted to bring.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
In thought leaders, upters who has become successful but also
went through some obstacles, and I felt like I really
had a story to tell. I had a messing and
I wanted to create a podcast to you for anyone.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
To listen to any of the episodes. So tell us
about you know, the Shelsea because I was reading your
information and you have just about every got a couple
of my friends that are coming along. Kate Lender, that's
my she's just reading for Oh my goodness, incredible. She
is just such a genuine ray of hope, way of sunsight.
(10:51):
I mean when you sit when you're talking with her,
you know, you get happy, You get a happy feeling,
and that's what I understand that you want to bring
to people. And what is your process? I mean you
have producers, you have directors. What is your process of
guarding these people, the guests and what happened to be
on the show.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm very fortunate to have your manager Robert Roger Neil,
who was also my sect producer. So there are certain
people that I know which tells me and wanted to
be on the podcast which talks Roger hate.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
To books them, and then Roger.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Has booked some of the guests as well, which has
been very helpful tells.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
All the backhand. He's been amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But I am so fortunate. We've had Bob Gail, who
was the premier guest of the season, who was promoting
Back to the Future the musicals, you know, which opens
up the Puntagers in Hollywood on November sixth.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, And David A. L.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
White, who is a director of producer does it all.
And I got to work with David.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Next year of Fire and it was very fortunately to
have a rule in Dide.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But David was on last week promoting these new movie
God's Not Dead in God with Trucks this coming Thursday.
We've got Sean Cannon who's gonna be on in December
promoting the kick Lander. We've got such an incredible the guest.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Words he's spent on the show too. Why do you
think you're here? Well, yeah, why do you? Why? Why
do why do you question that when you're here with
the even more fabulous mother in Love. I'm just asking
because Roger makes sure I have the top of the
(12:47):
line guests on the program. You know it's how important
it is because as women and an entrepreneur, you know
how difficult it can be when you go to people.
You know, they said, the first move you go to
when you're starting to another just go to your soft
your soft market, okay, my soft market. Tell me, I
don't know who you think you like that. I know
if you're gonna be on pet in the radio, but
(13:08):
you're gonna I mean, I didn't they went after me
like you and these on my own business, of my
own circle. But off this time. People don't dream as
big as you do. Yeah, you know, and people will say, oh,
she thinks he's somebody. I said, I'm gonna think I'm
somebody bay down even know I'm somebody. That's the right approach,
that's the attitude. Yes, I went to Roger and I said,
(13:32):
this is what I want to do.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I want to bring in great leaders in our community,
in the industry, someone.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Like Kate Lender. Her story is it's so inspiring.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, the stays up our lives for forty plus years.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
But what I like. You know, I'm rich, I'm the
young and the rest maybe don't worry. I got I'm
a young and agrest play from day one.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It work as a flight attendance for you mighted. I
think this is a story that so many people would
want to listen to and just hear your journey, because
she would ask why does she have to do it?
But she loves that interruption when she works as a
flight attendance.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And we need and we need people like hers, and
you know, all of us can't do this. So those
who can do, those who can't teach show somebody else
how to do it and be able to say, Okay,
you're better offence than I am, So let me give
you what I know. You know, and that's I think
it's a big problem for us in this business as women.
(14:46):
We don't believe in, for the most part, pulling our
resources together and making it work for all of us.
So that's what they would want you to think. That's
what the powers that be in this time wants you
to think. You can only make it if I tell
you you can make any Oh that's so I don't
even know you, you.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Know, right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And so I've also younger millennials. One of the guys
that I had who was one of my best friends,
James Jim, was born in Beverly Hills, where he grew
up in Lebanon.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
He shared his story. He's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
He's going to Yale in jam to become a dematologist,
but he wanted to share his journey.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
About coming out.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'm saying this because he's already we've already done the
interview and he's very comfortable with me talking about it.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But wanted the world to.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Know what it felt like in a community like you know, theirut,
you know, he grew up in Lebanon, And those are the.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Type of stories that to me are very up listing.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Because it's going to help someone else who's troggling with whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They're going through and to be able to see the
difference and what that means. Because I have friends from
Bay Route and from Lebanon and Syria and a lot
of different places, and they're most more often than not,
they say, mother, love, that's that's not who we are.
That's no, that is not who we are. And when
(16:14):
you sit down and talk to somebody from another country,
Americans don't really do a lot of that. They want
to go to another country and want to take over things. Uh,
don't want to learn the culture, don't want to learn
the language, don't want to want to know what the
what the mores are And then you expect to get
a warm welcome bobo head. Do you do you do
your research, do your research, and so I knew how
(16:36):
important that was. When we went to Africa, we had
a chip car mother dove to the mother Lange. Where
do you go? We went to Dakkar Senegague, West Africa.
Stood in the doorway of no return. I mean it's
about literally about this big and you can still smell
the blood and them. That's been better than the rocks.
(16:57):
And when I went, I was like I came back
completely there, well not completely different. Africa filled in a
lot of gaps for me and my history. And I
would encourage everybody get the opportunity go to the motherland,
go to where your ancestors has been, you know, letter
come to find out there we half I were a
quarter Irish in one of the house. All right, that's incredible.
(17:19):
But I think you're right. I believe it at least
in different parts of the world. Been to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I had family in New dealing and fil trip.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Field trip, I got my first sport. That is some
place I am. I cannot wait to go to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It's such a beautiful country. It's so small, three four
million people.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But yeah, the people are friendly in to Australia.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I've been to Taitei, you know, Taiwan. All of those
have made me who I am today. The houseing to
educate you, exposing me to different cultures, which I think
is what everyone needs. If you have an opportunity to
be able to problem make.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
An opportunity, you have one, make one go and talk
to That's one of my girlfriends. She's from China and
just as beautiful, just as smart. And she said, you
your mother and I we should do a trip to China.
And I said, yes, we should do that. Well, this
is fact. The guy had invited me and I called
and she was the director and we went. We took
(18:19):
a delegation with us and it was just really really amazing.
And we around the world are more alike than we
are different, you know what. I like that. And that's
the thing with the podcast or the projects that I.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Worked on, it whole connected ally we really are. At
the end of the day, it's about.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Telling stories about human life. Do and how do we
folks for the type of story to share and a
lot of them, like you said that your friend is
he in medical school? Is he going as he's starting
in jam in January.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
You going to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yale and proud of And that's the whole branch of
our of our societiety, a whole entity of our society
that are still being maligned and ridiculed and dressed down.
And you know all these evil, mean things that they
have to say to one another and just doesn't make
any sense. It takes too much work to hate somebody
(19:17):
or hate something't get too much work. I can't. I
don't have that kind of energy.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I got eight brands.

the industry of doing it quite a while. But I
kim down when you know I'm not thirty anymore, right,
but yeah, right, I want to see your versatility.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I'm not thirty yet. Well, but well if you are.
If you are not, and you over thirty five, you
know you work in that girl, you know you are
working in because I see some of these young women
out here and it's like they either are so focused
on their looks and not what comes from within, or
they're so negative about their looks that they're afraid that
(20:43):
are let out to get that they have before fear

(24:35):
using that magg and you go, you're sucking up all
of that, all that knowledge that you can get in
there life, Eve, Eve Wichards is going to be a problem.
You don't need to know how much of a problem
we gonna be. See, we should have hooked stuff, Yes
we should have. Yes we should have you know, I'm
all those things. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
But I always think about my parents, my mom and dad.
My mom's in a fifty and of course my father
passed away last year, who was in the seventies. But
I have a lot of younger nephews and all of
them are looking up to me, and I think about
what my mom and Dad would think about what I'm
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It's just the right thing.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
When we took that in the back of my mind
that I'm wants in my family and my family members.
I think of my younger generation. I want to make
the inspire them to go out and chase your feet.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And it's oftentimes it is the chase, and you have
to be prepared for the chase. You just can't get
in the wrong get in the wronging of this and
any other business looking you know everything when you don't,
and that wastes a lot of people's time. And there
was the one word that I was thinking about, Well,
I want to think about it. But they have said
when I go to these seminars and what have you,
(25:50):
that's one of the things they say is are you teachable?
Are you willing to listen to somebody else? And are
you willing to take their advice? And a lot of
people said I had listened to my parents, I had
listened to my school teachers. Why I'm a player to
come to a seminar and listen to you. Okay, you're
a bobo here and move out the way. That's all
you can do. That's all you can do. Yeah, So
(26:14):
when when you're out here, what do you want people
to get, you know, before we get what you tell
us about the kind of guests that you have. I mean,
how often do you do your show? So it's we
had season one, we had five episodes. We had Stale Penguars,
(26:35):
we had Sean Cannon. We were very fortunate to have
the season.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Season two were about twenty four episodes as wow. It
just started taking three weeks ago and the show aired
every Thursday at.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Twelve m specific time. Okay, and how long have you listened?
Because this is your second season. What makes you decide
to get into the podcast industry because everybody put up
a podcast or what is your sustainability and your accessibility?
It's a great question. I seriously never thought I would
do a podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Because I just wanted to focus on my actions.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But after my father passed.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Away, I maybe something was pill something is spoke to
me that EVE use your voice to educate people around
the world to go out and chase the agree.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And the last year in December, I met with Rogers
and we had a plan.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I was like, Roger, I want the podcast to be
it's all about resilience and resilience, resilience and uplifting folks.
And that's basically what my my brand is or the
podcast is all about. I'm making a pope. I know
there are so many other podcasts out there, but the
focus is on inspiring others by sharing personal stories from
(27:52):
all of the successful people. Do whatever think a very
successful actor went through some challenges because no one ever
thinks about the.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh no, they're just like all the shiny things and that,
you know, the award partner. Don't get me wrong, Please
don't give me. Make this clear and let me be clear,
as our feast president says, let me be clear. I'm
in it for this wag. I kid you not you
know Hollywood, Oh my god. The best one, the best
wag I ever got was from the Academy Awards after
(28:24):
you know, for all. I was like, I can pawn
half of this stuff, and it's wonderful doing a movie.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And I was doing very long hours and rehearsals. Actually,
my family came from Boston, not December, Susan and her southing.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
They're staying with me in LA. They couldn't believe the dedication.
I was doing a not you know, the not school in.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The day's studios, and I was always busy with the audition.
I like every night, four five hours. People don't believe it,
so people never think about they pick up the red
you know, the red carpet wound, but thirsty kind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And that's what people don't understand. When you don't understand
a particular industry and or you're expecting something out of
this different industry. Uh, whether it's the military, the firefighters,
first responders, school teachers. Uh, the people who are you know,
are have the the future of us in her hand
and is it in his hands as they're educating the
(29:34):
generations start are coming behind us, and it will be
it will behoove all of us then, just cause night
you know, you know where you are. Not now you're
up there, you know, in the upper ascelon and you
halfway know what you're talking about. And I say halfway
cause I've been doing this for a long time and
I've been I'm like three thirds of the way through it.
I'm just say, you know, it's Psychompica, says I try
(29:57):
to get out and they just pull me back in
ir to get retired. Listen, there's no I read the
Bible all the time, and I read it multiple times,
you know, just straight through and get the lessons up.
There's not one married Nigga's a single teary phrase. Uh no,
that said, okay, when you retired, you get to stop
(30:19):
if they don't have the visions for that. And we
got provisions for everything. How did the daughter, How to
be dood with your money, how to be faithful, how
to treat other people, you know, how we will entertain
angels gonna wear and don't even know that's what angel's
gonna wear me? Mother love? And and still you learned something.
I couldn't find the word retired. I couldn't find the
phrase to say quit working. And I'm like this walk
(30:43):
when I stopped. Guys those then you don't stop this.
You just keep going on do something that keep going.
But it keeps you mentally energized.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
It keeps you young because you have something exciting to
look forward to.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
And that's what I like about.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
So we energize me and giving me.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
The cug hope to see, you know, the growth is
really amazing. The person's journey. I'm just to see how
evolved I think for.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Me, that's what I really liked about this industry is
you could take something and make it into whatever you
decide to go with, but you have to surround yourself
with the best people.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
To be able to achieve those strangers and what trust
is a big factory trust. That's a huge factor in
any relationship and for that to be shattered because we
can't trust you with the story and you want to
just retell you the story and then you just want to, uh,
you know, just slander it and you know, just make
(31:44):
it vile. And you know, whether they say if it bleeds,
it leads, you know, I'm like, I don't want people
bleeding all over me and my shoes. I'm mere wear
pretty expensive shoes that I have required sometimes we've met
putting no stuff on my Why can't we have the
good story showcase? Why can't we talk about instead of
listeners to us talking about how horrible the kids aren't
(32:05):
horrible as teenagers are, and we don't take responsibility because
we don't want to believe where you raised the mobile heads.
We don't want to believe that work. No, you didn't.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
That's on you.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You gotta take responsibility because that from the being that
child's teacher from the beginning, you don't have a right
to see your child off the school and you don't
know what's going on in that classroom. Right. We got
one son, he's given us four children, four children, four grandchildren.
I got to come get these kids and get them
on earth. And and they're teenagers now one is an adult,
(32:38):
the other three are teenagers, and you know, just helping
them navigate, you know, through all the stuff that's going through,
that going through and the rules keep changing. And they
asked so many great questions, and parents are just saying, look,
what do they tell the kids? Little kids? Miss kids
here going that device and just you know, talk on
the thing right there, and they don't bother me. That's
(33:01):
amazing smart.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And it's Curio City, right, which I seem.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Is so important. And when you don't know, and when
I don't know, I will say this then, oh baby,
I don't know that. Let's let's go let's go google it.
I found out ungoogleable. Oh I'm ungooglable. It's kind of
creepy though, when people could just signed out where you
live and what's your phone number? And this was the
part to get me. Well, mother left, We've been trying
(33:29):
to find you now you ain't. Don't set up my
face a lot. Uh huh. We've been looking like you didn't.
Cause if you google med you, I am googleable. I
talked my husband. My husband paid all the all of
the all of the stuff that's going on.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Did I do something wrong?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Oh no, Okay, coming back in, I don't know. I
hit the wrong button. Eat hm Okay, I help you
pack back in because I don't. It just went on.
Uh And we're talking about her new pie cast. Eve Richards.
She is she is a writer, she's a actress. She's
(34:08):
an entrepreneur. I didn't ask you. Okay, look here, okay
quick there there? Hell right? What was that from our station? Boys?
This is Eve Richard. She is an entrepreneur. She's a fashioniec.
(34:30):
She has a brand new podcast out called the Discovery
Podcast with the now what are we going to discover?
On Discovery podcast with with Eve tell us how that works.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
So the podcast is there and very inspirational, as we
decided to call it for this car break, just because
when you.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Have all of those various guests, when you think about
State or David A. L. White, who we get interviewed.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
On Saturday, there was you know about even though I.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Was very fortunate to be in one of these upcoming movies.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
David relocated from the Cancers to LA when he was nineteen.
He had never watched a movie. Actually he watched one movie.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
When he was eighteen or so.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
So to me two stories are like wow, like but
you're someone who came in and then he was discovered
by the Legends Burt Reynolds nineteen. So that discovery of
having people open up and sharing stories about how they
got started. There's so many people out there.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
In the world who think they could just relocate to
LA and they'll find saying in five minutes, and so
as therepreneurs an after directors come down.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
And they pretty much do a deeper dive into the industry.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
So it's discovering how it works and how people can
go about navigating.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Someone in India may think, but who want to become
an US? So what do I do?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We'll get to talk about.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Some of what helps out because everyone has a totally
different journey.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Someone can come and to get they can get someone
in print.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's not about mimicking someone's life, but it's learning from
that person.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
When you said mimicking somebody's back that's the whole point
I think of actors and actresses is to make make
us believe the story. And I've been doing, you know,
in the entertainment industry. I didn't even realize this, and
it's been for over four decades that I've been doing. This.
(36:39):
Keeps me out of trouble, keep you it really does,
because I got to keep up with what's going on
and the way things are changing so rapidly, the technology
that didn't get I mean, look at us, we are,
you know, two just responsors. You know, we are Hollingwood.
I'm just letting you know, and we could do that.
Everybody cannot do this, you know, like you said, they
(36:59):
want to jump in. I can't even I could count
on three four hands how people have been guests on
our show. You know from what and if you know,
mother love you can just looks so easy. I think,
I think I want to have a talk radio show
on the podcast. I'm like, okay, we're just gonna explain
something to you and make this clear. This is a
(37:22):
business as a You got the talent, Okay, you got
the talent. Now get to the business aspect. Who do
you talk to first? Where do you go what's gonna
do your research? You know, how are you gonna you know,
present yourself because sometimes people could get stuck in one way.
You know, they can only see you as this, you know,
they can't see you as anything else, and that could
be you know, uh, discerning as well, just you know,
(37:45):
disconnecting as well, because you know, I think the worst
word that the applicants here is we're going in a
different direction. You're right about that.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
You know one thing that I also wanted to scare
that for me, But Buzz Guil came on the shows.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
He was the first gap of the season.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I think he's episode aired October SEVENTI October tenth.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
But what he shared was when he had it christ,
he had his call producer.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
They have peached this twenty two times, four two.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It got rejected, but he kept going. And so for me,
that's what I Those were some of the things that
I learned about you can never give up if you
have a dream.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
And these are the nuggets that I need to inspire others.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
That Bob Gails, who's.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Now become I mean the Back of the Future now
the musical he Cris was rejected for forty two times,
but he believed in the story, and he knew he
had something special.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
And an awful times the powers that be in this town,
who are ings? They don't, they don't, they don't really
like to have do anything that they didn't think of,
And how dare you think of this? You know? And
they said, no, you know, this cat be turned down
forty two times, he take the forty third time, you know,
to get something to happen. And and oftentimes, like you said,
(39:17):
people can come out here to the Hollywood get discovered
in five minutes, you know, they walking around, you know,
going to the guns at a restaurant, to you know,
all the A lists events, and then two three months later, okay,
where'd they go? Yeah, okay, what happened? This is I
found out and I'm not gone, sapy. I found this out.
A lot of these entertainers and sports figures, you know,
(39:39):
they left. They show these pictures of them, and they
these big mansions in the front of you know, these
personal airine airplanes and all the all the bells and whistles,
and then come to find out the studios and the
producers have purchased these up under their names. So then
when when you're starting hying Okay, you gonna have all
access to this. Soon as your life even begin to
(39:59):
start to dim, people gonna know that you didn't have
all of this going on, and they're like drunk with
wanting to be you know, with the pageants that they
have and what they can do. They're I get concerned
about the one they just let walk on the door,
do whatever they want to do, don't even pay their bones,
don't pay that, And those are the ones that are
going quickly.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, you're right, because it's about how do you sustain
the clear right. It's not, as they say, a one
people wonder you commonly see something sabbing them.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Everyone gets to hear of you, and then no one
gets to hear about you.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It's maintaining the consistency of being able to go out
and produce with work whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
That you do at seeing, podcasting.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Radio, whatever it is, but working consistency which matters they feel.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Hunting for now. I have to say, though there's a
young group coming up. You know that these young people
are getting the opportunity to produce and direct their own
product now, and especially with the advent of the internet,
they got can't even think of what the name of
the movie was but it did really, really well, and
the studios and nobody could take credit for it because
(41:11):
they didn't do it, you know. And then the rap business,
I can't you know, see when you get to be
my age, they just go out right in the middle
of the conversation. But they had these two young rappers
and nobody wanted their music, like your friend who got
turned down forty two times. So they decided, we're gonna
produce our own music video, Wenna, We're gonna get our
(41:32):
friends together. And you know, one guy, he was doing
his thing, the young lady was doing her things. Okay,
every all the record producers, you know, no, no, no, no,
we're not like I said that, we're going in a
different direction as it were. Well, you know, they didn't
know whether the crap or gold blind. When both of
them got an Emmy, no, yeah, a Grammy nomination for principal,
(41:53):
they wait for their time. There's allworthy has oh here, here, here,
And they looked at there and they couldn't have been
twenty five years old. They that there was such power
in the faces. They weren't rule or disrespectful. When they
came up to me and said, oh no, no, thank you.
What's going in a different direction. They they could have
craft a bridge. And we have to be willing to
(42:20):
teach the young people the nature of this business because
it is a business. You know. I would tell people,
you know, when you come out here, make sure you
got all your ducts in a row. They didn't even
understand I've been doing this for a long time. They
didn't even understand the importance of having their trademark, their name,
immage and likeness trademark. And I look at what the
Internet is doing. I needed to have you know, the
(42:42):
whole land. Well I still do, but still they can
have access your computer take and that was just AI.
Oh my god. What is your take on artificial intelligence
that it pertains to the industry. I think.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
The fadas you can have some official intelligence write the script.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It's not the same. There are certain things that I
feel a human being does.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Better than artificial intelligence. That's just my own perspective. It's
great where technology is going, but we still need writers.
We need human beings to be able to do certain things.
The emotions that you evolved, you know, the beat, it's
not the same.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
It's having some AI, you know together, you know, develop
a script.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
It's so I'm a little offense AI and then I'm
supporting technology, but when it comes to the creative writing,
I think I have a problem.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
And the only thing I could see it's like when
when you go to the AI and you ask it
for something. So you're looking up at search. We're looking
up e versus and you'll come up, your name will
come up, and they'll say, well, we could take this
page here and we could photoshop it or whatever they
do now with the technology, and we can have her
saying this that and the third you know, and people
(44:08):
are gonna believe it. I mean when I first saw
what they were doing it we're humans where they had
and I knew they they're doing this for years. They
finally got her down. He saw a reporter was asking him, well,
how does this work? He was explaining how this worked.
Man had a artificial intelligence. Will Smith, the one that's
married to what's her name? You know what I'm talking about.
(44:32):
Why can't I call her name? Jada? Yeah? Ye, Peter,
thank you. See I have to use your brain. Seals
not be okay. So they had him sitting at a
table with a bowl of spaghetti, eating wood a tant
eating wood a sand. They could make it go fast,
and they're gonna slow. And then the guy goes, wow,
that's a little smith. Because everybody said that's a little smith.
I better little little smith. And then the guy goes,
(44:54):
that's artificially artificial intelligence. And so I'm like, this is
kind of creepy. You could make people doing it things
say anything. One of the things that they're working to
perfect is to have the machine speak in more of
a natural tone. Okay, okay, I don't know how they
gonna figure out how to make a machine sounds just
like you with your nuances, you know, and have what
it is that you you know, you want to get across.
(45:16):
It's a little creepy for me. I mean, I stepped
over the things. You know, I'm paying attention to it,
you know. But they the people that what are these
hackers are hacking into your information and making you look
like all kinds of stuff. Oh, it's it's scary. I
do scar just because I think it's creepy to see
what hackers can do.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I had someone fills my identity and they did twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Three huck returns. That's mean.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Luckily for me, the irs were able to touch it
because the amount that's the person used to submiss was
not correct. And because I was very fortunate that they can't,
I would not have known, right.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
So it's a little bit creepy. It's it's real creepy.
And speaking of having your identity stolen, I had mind
stolen many years ago, and they used my government name.
They knew everything. Oh yeah, they were uh. And what
had happened was they flagged my credit report and so
and they got like all these negative things in the
(46:28):
more like I've never had this kind of gas car,
I've never lived in the train of park, never was
a nerve, blah blah blah blah. This mom some nerves
down in Alabama on some look way back up in
the day place got my got my information, stole my identity.
Bought a house full of brand new furniture. I mean
like six brand new rooms of furniture. He bought it.
(46:51):
She bought a car. They wouldn't there have the car
because she needs to have something or other. She didn't
have that. So the my credit report it is taken
me seven years. Oh my god. And you know, and
I said, every time I go away for credit That's
why I said, you know what, I'm just gonna I'm
gonna be done with it because they can't feel something
something that I don't have. So I got a bank
(47:11):
account that just goes in. You know, they just rotates
and takes the stuff out. And when they use my
real government name. Wow, I tracked them down. I track
them down down, Okay. And when you go out the
I R S. They were really really helpful. They really were,
and they really wore a breath of fresh air. They
(47:33):
really got me off the roof, you know, and really
talk to us, and you know, and really let me.
And I'm in here with you know, a box full
of stuff with my husband. He is a neat free
and he takes order with stuff. If you saw my desk,
I tell them don't touch my stuff because I know
where it is. It's a f under, this stapler. It's
over that fun about it. Everybody, he said, maybe we
don't worry about this week got there because the first
(47:54):
time we went, the guy said, well, I do want
to know where you can justify having an eighteen thousand
dollars gown that you're gonna only where I walk, I said,
I work on the entertainment and they don't go over.
He said, don't worry. Let's me go back to the
go back to the irs and show our our receipts
and everything. And they were like mm mm no, this
is not right. And they really really helped me get that.
(48:15):
My husband and I get that straightened out. And he
went in and he got received the das and now
he's stick. He said, when you're going on the audit,
find out what time you you know what, how many
moms you started with, how many moms you got around trip.
I was like, that is so fucking Annals saved us
seventeen hundred dollars, said we've got the refund or whatever
it was. I just like, okay, whatever, yeah, so now
(48:37):
I wouldn't know. This is all up in your two
laid now in the in being in the entertainment industry.
He said, you don't have kids? What was that your choice?
Did you say I don't want to do this cause
a lot of what why of young women now were
saying they don't have kids?
Speaker 2 (48:51):
You know, it wasn't so much. I just sure my
mom pussed away twenty years ago when she died, she.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Was sixty five. I was very young my I have
a younger brother and my brother and I.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
My mom was like so protective of us. I was
like her best friend, even though she was a job.
She was a very simple woman. It was so unexpected.
My mom's my you know family, We had been in
sentence herself, even in sentence to go.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
We all threw to Boston.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
My mom had to attend a conference in London. All
of my family members in Boston, my you know aunt Susan,
we all have Wendy had a party.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
My mom was going to London to attend a conference,
and she left and she never came back.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
She passed that death. It took almost ten years for
me to get over my mom's path. Let me just
let me, let me get into tut you right now.
You're never gonna get over You get through it. You
take it one day at a time, and you know,
(50:08):
you have to know in your core that your parents
did not make any jump and they knew you could
handle things you're never gonna get. My mother has been dead,
I don't know for a long time, since nineteen ninety two.
And you know you'll feel her, you'll smell her, you
know you'll know that she's present in her presence abrowns you.
So don't try to get over the baby. Don't let it.
(50:31):
Don't let don't try to get over it, work through it.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
I did not want to have kids because I felt
like the love before that I have from my mother,
she would have been such a major force in terms
of you raising kids.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
And after she passed away, I made the decision that
I did not I don't want to have kids.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
I wasn't selfish, but I knew the bond I had
with my mom and I knew the relationship I had
with my grandparents. My mom would have been so in
like I wanted her to beger to expearens.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Out with me, and they do. When I had our son,
we went up to Cleveland's where we're from, you know what,
so he could meet you know, everybody and oh my
own I both cause we're both from Ohio. Yeah. And
literally my mother took the baby upstairs in her room.
Had I mean, she had like a mini nursery in
(51:25):
her bedroom. And I was say, okay, MAM's tapping me
to get the baby cause I was brusty. He said,
that's pump it out, Just pump it out again. I mean, Mama,
my name is not Elsie. Oh you pumped your breath
when he was in the hospital and all them babies
and they had no milk. You I was like something
pumping my brush and stigging it through. I said, Mama,
why you got to do a croom? Saydn't do it?
(51:45):
She said, all the almalks and cutting on my baby.
I was like, oh, it's that kind of party. Yeah,
And she spoils him Roden, he ain't worth a quarter
right now to dead. And that's my baby. That's my
baby and I love him to pieces. And and it's
a being a mother as a big job. I mean,
because you never stop doing that if the job doesn't end,
(52:06):
even after you pass away, because that mother love is
gonna always be with you. You know, that's gonna be
your strength, that's gonna be your life. That's gonna be
the one that you're here. And she's gonna wait e
sometime now I gotta callered my partner e E. And
then you go, okay, I'm there, now, Okay, I got it.
(52:27):
But you know, you know that your kids build a
foundation for you. So now what is the brother in
the business. He's following in the footsteps in Boston like
all of us, and he relocated. My brother's name is
in Tang. He's relocated.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
He's met his wife who's near him, and he leaves
her her family from Minneapolis, and so he leaves in Minneapolis.

then I haven't end in Boston. Wendy who goes to
an attorney, and my mom set up. My mom set
up the family. She has a brother of attorney.

And so you're the one that said, okay, I'm just
gonna get outside of this window. Okay, I got things
to do, places to go, people to meet, money to make,
and then they look at your sideways when you went
to say that this is what you were going to do.
So my parents, my mom always knew that is what
you wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
Accept this law school.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
When my mom passed away, I deferred my law school
and I realized it was just poking me so long
to get over at the gap that I just couldn't
see myself and that's just to law school.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
It just wasn't for me, and I couldn't give it up.

evolve as a person that I'm entertainer and I'm blessed.
I'm very fortunate to have bad in my life. Everything

that's important. And you know, people look at the what's
wrong with her? Why you so happy? Why not be happy?
(54:33):

take life so seriously. They're not coming out of their alive.
We are not gonna come out of death alive. We're
not coming out of there. You know, we're not. That's
not gonna happen. Why not make them death. Be the

Appeal manager of Roger that's my guy, So knda's gotta
thank him. Gosh, I was in London, I was going
into Splind, England those twelve I always wanted to perform
because my mother was a charge and my father was
an attorney, and.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
That's what state wanted me to do. Wait a minute,
your mother's a judge, your father's not an attorney. So
so people are looking at you from every angle. You
cannot do no wrong. Okay, my mother is a juous
See that. That's a big weight. It is a big weight.
But then because of the pressure of that one.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
To do what I felt would make me happy. My
parents were, especially my dad.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
He was very stretched. Love him to death, but he
was a discipline and he wanted.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Want to see something more.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It is I'd always love makeup.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I always wanted to dream and dream about Hollywood and
dream about the light cameras.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And so it's always gone to the arts. From the times.
What drew you to the art? What? Then? What kind
of uh a fan were you watching? Were you're listening
to at twelve? That made you say? You know you're
a destiny foot? You know, because I don't believe. I
believe there are celebrities and their stars. As a star,
you will shine wherever you go.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh that is so slitter view.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
And I don't even rombic. I'm taking it. I got
kind of blow from oke. I see you're doing big things.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I just watch things like like and just fell in
love with romance.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I fell in love.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
With the dream of wanting to be with my Prince
Charman and what it would feel like. You don't even sound
realer just watching the and I just was wanting to
that that it just felts so magical. It's trying to
escape and become someone else. And I always had to
(03:28):
see that, Wow it what would it be to be
able to tell stories? And that's how it started. But
then I decided to get into something else.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I worked for proper America.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I worked for American Express. I work for Nazis Advertising,
which I.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Think was great because made me.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
A much better present in terms of coming back to
the industry.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And you have to have that, you know, that metal
to you to find out who you really are, who
you really are and will you do this because I
don't believe it happen chance. That's just me and I'm
crazy like that, because I believe that we are put
into positions that we are meant to be in and
even even though we might not know where it comes from.
You know, it's are you a faithful person? Do you
(04:14):
believe that there's a higher for Okay? I was a
sad mother, loved I was you know what every day?
What I wait.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Every night when I go to bed, Thank God, because
we live in a world where anything can happen any second.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
There is then I've had some.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Sitting there ear feet on experiences where I got very
sick without knowing I need a very healthy lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But it's a way. What was that like? Because I
hear a lot of people say I take it care
of myself, I exercise, I eat, Like, how did this happen?
When did you know that you were sick, and you
knew you had to go someplace to get some help.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
And so twenty around Colvin, twenty twenty one. I was
losing a lot of weights without even realizing something was
wrong with me, and a doctor was like I got
to give her a lot of credit, and she said,
let's do some blood work and see what's going on.
(05:19):
I was exercise and then she was like, you can't exercise.
I was like, how dare you tell me not to exercise?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I have lots about fifty pounds. Okay, wait a minute,
that's that's a whole person. Oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It was bad.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's a small child. I realized that.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Which I didn't know, and it happens to people at
any even in your twenty thirty forty.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And that made me.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
More aware because I was like, no, I want to
take I told, you know, just do it all they
hold me a pathic but my doctor was like, you
need to see and then this knowledge is a sac
although i'd even a die.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I was having tire. Yeah, and you'll have we have
thyroidism yep.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Forms and I gotta send my doctor because he literally
he is in something.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
So but he saved me. He puts me on a plan.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
And I get to see him today every even today,
every three months.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's why I'm pretty God. I praise to God. I
say God that I'm still here on and I totally
am in agreement with you with that and say to me,
doesn't have anything to do with religion. When you pray,
that's your personal connection. And oftentimes we want to barter
with God. Well I know it it yeah, and let
(06:41):
me do this. Maybe then I go to the doctor
find out what's really wrong with me. And God said, okay,
this is no joking mind mind, I'm strong. I am
a woman and woman could go down and you know
how we are. We will wait until the last minute
before we go and take take care of ourselves. You'll
take care of everybody, I mean on your platform, everybody
(07:02):
in your say, all the community people, the church people.
And then you just trying to figure out what happened
to miss Evil. I know a lad was all up
real tall when we have the seen her in church
lately at you and I'm going to tell I went
to school to be a mortician, and want me to
there are no dead people that look like they that
that look like they're sleeping. They look like dead people,
(07:23):
they're hard like a frozen piece of meat, because that
lets you know that the essence of you, the soul
of you, is just been housing that body for the
time being. He just you know, And and nobody said
was gonna be easy. So if everybody could do, everybody
will be Miss eve Ridges. But that can't we get original,
So okay, So then you you live up in you're
from London, I didn't notice an accent. I do have
(07:45):
an accent.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So I gotta tell you my story is quite you, okay,
because my father was born and.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Him from my grandfather Hot It's.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Ten kids all from the same mother, the same white
so they have three sets between the oldest.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But my grandfather was.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, what he.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Talked his kids was you got to go to school.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
My father was extremely smart. When he turned sixteen, he
had a scholarship to go to Harvard. And when my
dad goes to Harvard, and he's always all his family
members once they kept relocating to Boston. And so Boston
is my adult home from my parents, from.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
My father's side of the family. Where in Africa is
he from Cairo? I love people from all places. So
then you decide, and what was it like making your
decision to come down this path into the entertainment industry
and not just one platform. You know you got you
(08:53):
the fashionista. You know you got a podcast going on.
That's tell them about the podcast. Let's talk about first.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah. So, lash year, I lost my father, who was
such an inspiration to me, to his family, to his friends.
He died unexpectedly.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I had not seen him. I didn't see him for
duty as a while before he.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Passed, but found out he had pancreatic cancer. They did
not tell him and within three weeks.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
He passed away.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But what made me start the podcast was because my
parents had divorced.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
My dad had moved on with someone else.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
My dad helped the present throughout his career. When my
dad got sick, he was in a hospital. This present
did not see my father, my father.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
My heart still bleeds for my father when I speak
about it. This podcast was.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Me using my voice to honor my father's legacy. My
mother had passed, but mostly because of the events of
what happened last year, I was on a journey to
learn from others.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I wanted to bring.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
In thought leaders, upters who has become successful but also
went through some obstacles, and I felt like I really
had a story to tell. I had a messing and
I wanted to create a podcast to you for anyone.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
To listen to any of the episodes. So tell us
about you know, the Shelsea because I was reading your
information and you have just about every got a couple
of my friends that are coming along. Kate Lender, that's
my she's just reading for Oh my goodness, incredible. She
is just such a genuine ray of hope, way of sunsight.
(10:51):
I mean when you sit when you're talking with her,
you know, you get happy, You get a happy feeling,
and that's what I understand that you want to bring
to people. And what is your process? I mean you
have producers, you have directors. What is your process of
guarding these people, the guests and what happened to be
on the show.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That's a great question.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I'm very fortunate to have your manager Robert Roger Neil,
who was also my sect producer. So there are certain
people that I know which tells me and wanted to
be on the podcast which talks Roger hate.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
To books them, and then Roger.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Has booked some of the guests as well, which has
been very helpful tells.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
All the backhand. He's been amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But I am so fortunate. We've had Bob Gail, who
was the premier guest of the season, who was promoting
Back to the Future the musicals, you know, which opens
up the Puntagers in Hollywood on November sixth.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, And David A. L.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
White, who is a director of producer does it all.
And I got to work with David.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Next year of Fire and it was very fortunately to
have a rule in Dide.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But David was on last week promoting these new movie
God's Not Dead in God with Trucks this coming Thursday.
We've got Sean Cannon who's gonna be on in December
promoting the kick Lander. We've got such an incredible the guest.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Words he's spent on the show too. Why do you
think you're here? Well, yeah, why do you? Why? Why
do why do you question that when you're here with
the even more fabulous mother in Love. I'm just asking
because Roger makes sure I have the top of the
(12:47):
line guests on the program. You know it's how important
it is because as women and an entrepreneur, you know
how difficult it can be when you go to people.
You know, they said, the first move you go to
when you're starting to another just go to your soft
your soft market, okay, my soft market. Tell me, I
don't know who you think you like that. I know
if you're gonna be on pet in the radio, but
(13:08):
you're gonna I mean, I didn't they went after me
like you and these on my own business, of my
own circle. But off this time. People don't dream as
big as you do. Yeah, you know, and people will say, oh,
she thinks he's somebody. I said, I'm gonna think I'm
somebody bay down even know I'm somebody. That's the right approach,
that's the attitude. Yes, I went to Roger and I said,
(13:32):
this is what I want to do.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I want to bring in great leaders in our community,
in the industry, someone.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Like Kate Lender. Her story is it's so inspiring.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, the stays up our lives for forty plus years.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
But what I like. You know, I'm rich, I'm the
young and the rest maybe don't worry. I got I'm
a young and agrest play from day one.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It work as a flight attendance for you mighted. I
think this is a story that so many people would
want to listen to and just hear your journey, because
she would ask why does she have to do it?
But she loves that interruption when she works as a
flight attendance.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And we need and we need people like hers, and
you know, all of us can't do this. So those
who can do, those who can't teach show somebody else
how to do it and be able to say, Okay,
you're better offence than I am, So let me give
you what I know. You know, and that's I think
it's a big problem for us in this business as women.
(14:46):
We don't believe in, for the most part, pulling our
resources together and making it work for all of us.
So that's what they would want you to think. That's
what the powers that be in this time wants you
to think. You can only make it if I tell
you you can make any Oh that's so I don't
even know you, you.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Know, right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And so I've also younger millennials. One of the guys
that I had who was one of my best friends,
James Jim, was born in Beverly Hills, where he grew
up in Lebanon.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
He shared his story. He's twenty five.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
He's going to Yale in jam to become a dematologist,
but he wanted to share his journey.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
About coming out.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I'm saying this because he's already we've already done the
interview and he's very comfortable with me talking about it.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But wanted the world to.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Know what it felt like in a community like you know, theirut,
you know, he grew up in Lebanon, And those are the.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Type of stories that to me are very up listing.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Because it's going to help someone else who's troggling with whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
They're going through and to be able to see the
difference and what that means. Because I have friends from
Bay Route and from Lebanon and Syria and a lot
of different places, and they're most more often than not,
they say, mother, love, that's that's not who we are.
That's no, that is not who we are. And when
(16:14):
you sit down and talk to somebody from another country,
Americans don't really do a lot of that. They want
to go to another country and want to take over things. Uh,
don't want to learn the culture, don't want to learn
the language, don't want to want to know what the
what the mores are And then you expect to get
a warm welcome bobo head. Do you do you do
your research, do your research, and so I knew how
(16:36):
important that was. When we went to Africa, we had
a chip car mother dove to the mother Lange. Where
do you go? We went to Dakkar Senegague, West Africa.
Stood in the doorway of no return. I mean it's
about literally about this big and you can still smell
the blood and them. That's been better than the rocks.
(16:57):
And when I went, I was like I came back
completely there, well not completely different. Africa filled in a
lot of gaps for me and my history. And I
would encourage everybody get the opportunity go to the motherland,
go to where your ancestors has been, you know, letter
come to find out there we half I were a
quarter Irish in one of the house. All right, that's incredible.
(17:19):
But I think you're right. I believe it at least
in different parts of the world. Been to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I had family in New dealing and fil trip.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Field trip, I got my first sport. That is some
place I am. I cannot wait to go to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
It's such a beautiful country. It's so small, three four
million people.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But yeah, the people are friendly in to Australia.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I've been to Taitei, you know, Taiwan. All of those
have made me who I am today. The houseing to
educate you, exposing me to different cultures, which I think
is what everyone needs. If you have an opportunity to
be able to problem make.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
An opportunity, you have one, make one go and talk
to That's one of my girlfriends. She's from China and
just as beautiful, just as smart. And she said, you
your mother and I we should do a trip to China.
And I said, yes, we should do that. Well, this
is fact. The guy had invited me and I called
and she was the director and we went. We took
(18:19):
a delegation with us and it was just really really amazing.
And we around the world are more alike than we
are different, you know what. I like that. And that's
the thing with the podcast or the projects that I.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Worked on, it whole connected ally we really are. At
the end of the day, it's about.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Telling stories about human life. Do and how do we
folks for the type of story to share and a
lot of them, like you said that your friend is

our of our societiety, a whole entity of our society
that are still being maligned and ridiculed and dressed down.
And you know all these evil, mean things that they
have to say to one another and just doesn't make
any sense. It takes too much work to hate somebody
(19:17):

If you are not, and you over thirty five, you
know you work in that girl, you know you are
working in because I see some of these young women

too many. And then I don't get to go every event.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Put myself out there to go to events that I
think are beneficial to me.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And I'm not. I mean, I am an event person

are you gonna tell a black woman you do? It
was hilarious. See that's why you have to be strong.
But well keep going. Okay, there you go. I say
a lot of I feel this, I go into it.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I know who I am, and I don't let people
make me feel like you're better than you because.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I have something you need to offer another. You know, compare.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Myself with anybody, Eve, it's E that is the other
person is the other person?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Right? And I don't do well they say out here,
what I don't know anything else other than being my
authentic self, And they want to take you and mold
you into a reign of stupidity. And I just wasn't
going for it, you know. And then when they find
out that you really are smart, that you really are
(24:35):
using that magg and you go, you're sucking up all
of that, all that knowledge that you can get in
there life, Eve, Eve Wichards is going to be a problem.
You don't need to know how much of a problem
we gonna be. See, we should have hooked stuff, Yes
we should have. Yes we should have you know, I'm
all those things. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
But I always think about my parents, my mom and dad.
My mom's in a fifty and of course my father
passed away last year, who was in the seventies. But
I have a lot of younger nephews and all of
them are looking up to me, and I think about
what my mom and Dad would think about what I'm
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It's just the right thing.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
When we took that in the back of my mind
that I'm wants in my family and my family members.
I think of my younger generation. I want to make
the inspire them to go out and chase your feet.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
And it's oftentimes it is the chase, and you have
to be prepared for the chase. You just can't get
in the wrong get in the wronging of this and
any other business looking you know everything when you don't,
and that wastes a lot of people's time. And there
was the one word that I was thinking about, Well,
I want to think about it. But they have said
when I go to these seminars and what have you,
(25:50):
that's one of the things they say is are you teachable?
Are you willing to listen to somebody else? And are
you willing to take their advice? And a lot of
people said I had listened to my parents, I had
listened to my school teachers. Why I'm a player to
come to a seminar and listen to you. Okay, you're
a bobo here and move out the way. That's all
you can do. That's all you can do. Yeah, So
(26:14):
when when you're out here, what do you want people
to get, you know, before we get what you tell
us about the kind of guests that you have. I mean,
how often do you do your show? So it's we
had season one, we had five episodes. We had Stale Penguars,
(26:35):
we had Sean Cannon. We were very fortunate to have
the season.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Season two were about twenty four episodes as wow. It
just started taking three weeks ago and the show aired
every Thursday at.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Twelve m specific time. Okay, and how long have you listened?
Because this is your second season. What makes you decide
to get into the podcast industry because everybody put up
a podcast or what is your sustainability and your accessibility?
It's a great question. I seriously never thought I would
do a podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Because I just wanted to focus on my actions.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But after my father passed.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Away, I maybe something was pill something is spoke to
me that EVE use your voice to educate people around
the world to go out and chase the agree.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And the last year in December, I met with Rogers
and we had a plan.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I was like, Roger, I want the podcast to be
it's all about resilience and resilience, resilience and uplifting folks.
And that's basically what my my brand is or the
podcast is all about. I'm making a pope. I know
there are so many other podcasts out there, but the
focus is on inspiring others by sharing personal stories from
(27:52):
all of the successful people. Do whatever think a very
successful actor went through some challenges because no one ever
thinks about the.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh no, they're just like all the shiny things and that,
you know, the award partner. Don't get me wrong, Please
don't give me. Make this clear and let me be clear,
as our feast president says, let me be clear. I'm
in it for this wag. I kid you not you
know Hollywood, Oh my god. The best one, the best
wag I ever got was from the Academy Awards after
(28:24):
you know, for all. I was like, I can pawn
half of this stuff, and it's wonderful doing a movie.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And I was doing very long hours and rehearsals. Actually,
my family came from Boston, not December, Susan and her southing.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
They're staying with me in LA. They couldn't believe the dedication.
I was doing a not you know, the not school in.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The day's studios, and I was always busy with the audition.
I like every night, four five hours. People don't believe it,
so people never think about they pick up the red
you know, the red carpet wound, but thirsty kind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
And that's what people don't understand. When you don't understand
a particular industry and or you're expecting something out of
this different industry. Uh, whether it's the military, the firefighters,
first responders, school teachers. Uh, the people who are you know,
are have the the future of us in her hand
and is it in his hands as they're educating the
(29:34):
generations start are coming behind us, and it will be
it will behoove all of us then, just cause night
you know, you know where you are. Not now you're
up there, you know, in the upper ascelon and you
halfway know what you're talking about. And I say halfway
cause I've been doing this for a long time and
I've been I'm like three thirds of the way through it.
I'm just say, you know, it's Psychompica, says I try
(29:57):
to get out and they just pull me back in
ir to get retired. Listen, there's no I read the
Bible all the time, and I read it multiple times,
you know, just straight through and get the lessons up.
There's not one married Nigga's a single teary phrase. Uh no,
that said, okay, when you retired, you get to stop
(30:19):
if they don't have the visions for that. And we
got provisions for everything. How did the daughter, How to
be dood with your money, how to be faithful, how
to treat other people, you know, how we will entertain
angels gonna wear and don't even know that's what angel's
gonna wear me? Mother love? And and still you learned something.
I couldn't find the word retired. I couldn't find the
phrase to say quit working. And I'm like this walk
(30:43):
when I stopped. Guys those then you don't stop this.
You just keep going on do something that keep going.
But it keeps you mentally energized.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
It keeps you young because you have something exciting to
look forward to.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
And that's what I like about.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
So we energize me and giving me.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
The cug hope to see, you know, the growth is
really amazing. The person's journey. I'm just to see how
evolved I think for.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Me, that's what I really liked about this industry is
you could take something and make it into whatever you
decide to go with, but you have to surround yourself
with the best people.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
To be able to achieve those strangers and what trust
is a big factory trust. That's a huge factor in
any relationship and for that to be shattered because we
can't trust you with the story and you want to
just retell you the story and then you just want to, uh,
you know, just slander it and you know, just make
(31:44):
it vile. And you know, whether they say if it bleeds,
it leads, you know, I'm like, I don't want people
bleeding all over me and my shoes. I'm mere wear
pretty expensive shoes that I have required sometimes we've met
putting no stuff on my Why can't we have the
good story showcase? Why can't we talk about instead of
listeners to us talking about how horrible the kids aren't
(32:05):
horrible as teenagers are, and we don't take responsibility because
we don't want to believe where you raised the mobile heads.
We don't want to believe that work. No, you didn't.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
That's on you.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
You gotta take responsibility because that from the being that
child's teacher from the beginning, you don't have a right
to see your child off the school and you don't
know what's going on in that classroom. Right. We got
one son, he's given us four children, four children, four grandchildren.
I got to come get these kids and get them
on earth. And and they're teenagers now one is an adult,
(32:38):
the other three are teenagers, and you know, just helping
them navigate, you know, through all the stuff that's going through,
that going through and the rules keep changing. And they
asked so many great questions, and parents are just saying, look,
what do they tell the kids? Little kids? Miss kids
here going that device and just you know, talk on
the thing right there, and they don't bother me. That's
(33:01):
amazing smart.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
And it's Curio City, right, which I seem.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Is so important. And when you don't know, and when
I don't know, I will say this then, oh baby,
I don't know that. Let's let's go let's go google it.
I found out ungoogleable. Oh I'm ungooglable. It's kind of
creepy though, when people could just signed out where you
live and what's your phone number? And this was the
part to get me. Well, mother left, We've been trying
(33:29):
to find you now you ain't. Don't set up my
face a lot. Uh huh. We've been looking like you didn't.
Cause if you google med you, I am googleable. I
talked my husband. My husband paid all the all of
the all of the stuff that's going on.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Did I do something wrong?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Oh no, Okay, coming back in, I don't know. I
hit the wrong button. Eat hm Okay, I help you
pack back in because I don't. It just went on.
Uh And we're talking about her new pie cast. Eve Richards.
She is she is a writer, she's a actress. She's
(34:08):
an entrepreneur. I didn't ask you. Okay, look here, okay
quick there there? Hell right? What was that from our station? Boys?
This is Eve Richard. She is an entrepreneur. She's a fashioniec.
(34:30):
She has a brand new podcast out called the Discovery
Podcast with the now what are we going to discover?
On Discovery podcast with with Eve tell us how that works.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
So the podcast is there and very inspirational, as we
decided to call it for this car break, just because
when you.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Have all of those various guests, when you think about
State or David A. L. White, who we get interviewed.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
On Saturday, there was you know about even though I.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Was very fortunate to be in one of these upcoming movies.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
David relocated from the Cancers to LA when he was nineteen.
He had never watched a movie. Actually he watched one movie.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
When he was eighteen or so.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
So to me two stories are like wow, like but
you're someone who came in and then he was discovered
by the Legends Burt Reynolds nineteen. So that discovery of
having people open up and sharing stories about how they
got started. There's so many people out there.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
In the world who think they could just relocate to
LA and they'll find saying in five minutes, and so
as therepreneurs an after directors come down.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
And they pretty much do a deeper dive into the industry.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
So it's discovering how it works and how people can
go about navigating.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Someone in India may think, but who want to become
an US? So what do I do?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We'll get to talk about.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Some of what helps out because everyone has a totally
different journey.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Someone can come and to get they can get someone
in print.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's not about mimicking someone's life, but it's learning from
that person.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
When you said mimicking somebody's back that's the whole point
I think of actors and actresses is to make make
us believe the story. And I've been doing, you know,
in the entertainment industry. I didn't even realize this, and
it's been for over four decades that I've been doing. This.
(36:39):
Keeps me out of trouble, keep you it really does,
because I got to keep up with what's going on
and the way things are changing so rapidly, the technology
that didn't get I mean, look at us, we are,
you know, two just responsors. You know, we are Hollingwood.
I'm just letting you know, and we could do that.
Everybody cannot do this, you know, like you said, they
(36:59):
want to jump in. I can't even I could count
on three four hands how people have been guests on
our show. You know from what and if you know,
mother love you can just looks so easy. I think,
I think I want to have a talk radio show
on the podcast. I'm like, okay, we're just gonna explain
something to you and make this clear. This is a
(37:22):
business as a You got the talent, Okay, you got
the talent. Now get to the business aspect. Who do
you talk to first? Where do you go what's gonna
do your research? You know, how are you gonna you know,
present yourself because sometimes people could get stuck in one way.
You know, they can only see you as this, you know,
they can't see you as anything else, and that could
be you know, uh, discerning as well, just you know,
(37:45):
disconnecting as well, because you know, I think the worst
word that the applicants here is we're going in a
different direction. You're right about that.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
You know one thing that I also wanted to scare
that for me, But Buzz Guil came on the shows.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
He was the first gap of the season.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I think he's episode aired October SEVENTI October tenth.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
But what he shared was when he had it christ,
he had his call producer.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
They have peached this twenty two times, four two.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
It got rejected, but he kept going. And so for me,
that's what I Those were some of the things that
I learned about you can never give up if you
have a dream.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
And these are the nuggets that I need to inspire others.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
That Bob Gails, who's.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Now become I mean the Back of the Future now
the musical he Cris was rejected for forty two times,
but he believed in the story, and he knew he
had something special.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
And an awful times the powers that be in this town,
who are ings? They don't, they don't, they don't really
like to have do anything that they didn't think of,
And how dare you think of this? You know? And
they said, no, you know, this cat be turned down
forty two times, he take the forty third time, you know,
to get something to happen. And and oftentimes, like you said,
(39:17):
people can come out here to the Hollywood get discovered
in five minutes, you know, they walking around, you know,
going to the guns at a restaurant, to you know,
all the A lists events, and then two three months later, okay,
where'd they go? Yeah, okay, what happened? This is I
found out and I'm not gone, sapy. I found this out.
A lot of these entertainers and sports figures, you know,
(39:39):
they left. They show these pictures of them, and they
these big mansions in the front of you know, these
personal airine airplanes and all the all the bells and whistles,
and then come to find out the studios and the
producers have purchased these up under their names. So then
when when you're starting hying Okay, you gonna have all
access to this. Soon as your life even begin to
(39:59):
start to dim, people gonna know that you didn't have
all of this going on, and they're like drunk with
wanting to be you know, with the pageants that they
have and what they can do. They're I get concerned
about the one they just let walk on the door,
do whatever they want to do, don't even pay their bones,
don't pay that, And those are the ones that are
going quickly.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, you're right, because it's about how do you sustain
the clear right. It's not, as they say, a one
people wonder you commonly see something sabbing them.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Everyone gets to hear of you, and then no one
gets to hear about you.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It's maintaining the consistency of being able to go out
and produce with work whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
That you do at seeing, podcasting.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Radio, whatever it is, but working consistency which matters they feel.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Hunting for now. I have to say, though there's a
young group coming up. You know that these young people
are getting the opportunity to produce and direct their own
product now, and especially with the advent of the internet,
they got can't even think of what the name of
the movie was but it did really, really well, and
the studios and nobody could take credit for it because
(41:11):
they didn't do it, you know. And then the rap business,
I can't you know, see when you get to be
my age, they just go out right in the middle
of the conversation. But they had these two young rappers
and nobody wanted their music, like your friend who got
turned down forty two times. So they decided, we're gonna
produce our own music video, Wenna, We're gonna get our
(41:32):
friends together. And you know, one guy, he was doing
his thing, the young lady was doing her things. Okay,
every all the record producers, you know, no, no, no, no,
we're not like I said that, we're going in a
different direction as it were. Well, you know, they didn't
know whether the crap or gold blind. When both of
them got an Emmy, no, yeah, a Grammy nomination for principal,
(41:53):
they wait for their time. There's allworthy has oh here, here, here,
And they looked at there and they couldn't have been
twenty five years old. They that there was such power
in the faces. They weren't rule or disrespectful. When they
came up to me and said, oh no, no, thank you.
What's going in a different direction. They they could have
craft a bridge. And we have to be willing to
(42:20):
teach the young people the nature of this business because
it is a business. You know. I would tell people,
you know, when you come out here, make sure you
got all your ducts in a row. They didn't even
understand I've been doing this for a long time. They
didn't even understand the importance of having their trademark, their name,
immage and likeness trademark. And I look at what the
Internet is doing. I needed to have you know, the
(42:42):
whole land. Well I still do, but still they can
have access your computer take and that was just AI.
Oh my god. What is your take on artificial intelligence
that it pertains to the industry. I think.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
The fadas you can have some official intelligence write the script.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It's not the same. There are certain things that I
feel a human being does.
Speaker 2 (43:12):
Better than artificial intelligence. That's just my own perspective. It's
great where technology is going, but we still need writers.
We need human beings to be able to do certain things.
The emotions that you evolved, you know, the beat, it's
not the same.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
It's having some AI, you know together, you know, develop
a script.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
It's so I'm a little offense AI and then I'm
supporting technology, but when it comes to the creative writing,
I think I have a problem.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
And the only thing I could see it's like when
when you go to the AI and you ask it
for something. So you're looking up at search. We're looking
up e versus and you'll come up, your name will
come up, and they'll say, well, we could take this
page here and we could photoshop it or whatever they
do now with the technology, and we can have her
saying this that and the third you know, and people
(44:08):
are gonna believe it. I mean when I first saw
what they were doing it we're humans where they had
and I knew they they're doing this for years. They
finally got her down. He saw a reporter was asking him, well,
how does this work? He was explaining how this worked.
Man had a artificial intelligence. Will Smith, the one that's
married to what's her name? You know what I'm talking about.
(44:32):
Why can't I call her name? Jada? Yeah? Ye, Peter,
thank you. See I have to use your brain. Seals
not be okay. So they had him sitting at a
table with a bowl of spaghetti, eating wood a tant
eating wood a sand. They could make it go fast,
and they're gonna slow. And then the guy goes, wow,
that's a little smith. Because everybody said that's a little smith.
I better little little smith. And then the guy goes,
(44:54):
that's artificially artificial intelligence. And so I'm like, this is
kind of creepy. You could make people doing it things
say anything. One of the things that they're working to
perfect is to have the machine speak in more of
a natural tone. Okay, okay, I don't know how they
gonna figure out how to make a machine sounds just
like you with your nuances, you know, and have what
it is that you you know, you want to get across.
(45:16):
It's a little creepy for me. I mean, I stepped
over the things. You know, I'm paying attention to it,
you know. But they the people that what are these
hackers are hacking into your information and making you look
like all kinds of stuff. Oh, it's it's scary. I
do scar just because I think it's creepy to see
what hackers can do.
Speaker 2 (45:38):
I had someone fills my identity and they did twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
Three huck returns. That's mean.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Luckily for me, the irs were able to touch it
because the amount that's the person used to submiss was
not correct. And because I was very fortunate that they can't,
I would not have known, right.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
So it's a little bit creepy. It's it's real creepy.
And speaking of having your identity stolen, I had mind
stolen many years ago, and they used my government name.
They knew everything. Oh yeah, they were uh. And what
had happened was they flagged my credit report and so
and they got like all these negative things in the
(46:28):
more like I've never had this kind of gas car,
I've never lived in the train of park, never was
a nerve, blah blah blah blah. This mom some nerves
down in Alabama on some look way back up in
the day place got my got my information, stole my identity.
Bought a house full of brand new furniture. I mean
like six brand new rooms of furniture. He bought it.
(46:51):
She bought a car. They wouldn't there have the car
because she needs to have something or other. She didn't
have that. So the my credit report it is taken
me seven years. Oh my god. And you know, and
I said, every time I go away for credit That's
why I said, you know what, I'm just gonna I'm
gonna be done with it because they can't feel something
something that I don't have. So I got a bank
(47:11):
account that just goes in. You know, they just rotates
and takes the stuff out. And when they use my
real government name. Wow, I tracked them down. I track
them down down, Okay. And when you go out the
I R S. They were really really helpful. They really were,
and they really wore a breath of fresh air. They
(47:33):
really got me off the roof, you know, and really
talk to us, and you know, and really let me.
And I'm in here with you know, a box full
of stuff with my husband. He is a neat free
and he takes order with stuff. If you saw my desk,
I tell them don't touch my stuff because I know
where it is. It's a f under, this stapler. It's
over that fun about it. Everybody, he said, maybe we
don't worry about this week got there because the first
(47:54):
time we went, the guy said, well, I do want
to know where you can justify having an eighteen thousand
dollars gown that you're gonna only where I walk, I said,
I work on the entertainment and they don't go over.
He said, don't worry. Let's me go back to the
go back to the irs and show our our receipts
and everything. And they were like mm mm no, this
is not right. And they really really helped me get that.
(48:15):
My husband and I get that straightened out. And he
went in and he got received the das and now
he's stick. He said, when you're going on the audit,
find out what time you you know what, how many
moms you started with, how many moms you got around trip.
I was like, that is so fucking Annals saved us
seventeen hundred dollars, said we've got the refund or whatever
it was. I just like, okay, whatever, yeah, so now
(48:37):
I wouldn't know. This is all up in your two
laid now in the in being in the entertainment industry.
He said, you don't have kids? What was that your choice?
Did you say I don't want to do this cause
a lot of what why of young women now were
saying they don't have kids?
Speaker 2 (48:51):
You know, it wasn't so much. I just sure my
mom pussed away twenty years ago when she died, she.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
Was sixty five. I was very young my I have
a younger brother and my brother and I.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
My mom was like so protective of us. I was
like her best friend, even though she was a job.
She was a very simple woman. It was so unexpected.
My mom's my you know family, We had been in
sentence herself, even in sentence to go.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
We all threw to Boston.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
My mom had to attend a conference in London. All
of my family members in Boston, my you know aunt Susan,
we all have Wendy had a party.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
My mom was going to London to attend a conference,
and she left and she never came back.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
She passed that death. It took almost ten years for
me to get over my mom's path. Let me just
let me, let me get into tut you right now.
You're never gonna get over You get through it. You
take it one day at a time, and you know,
(50:08):
you have to know in your core that your parents
did not make any jump and they knew you could
handle things you're never gonna get. My mother has been dead,
I don't know for a long time, since nineteen ninety two.
And you know you'll feel her, you'll smell her, you
know you'll know that she's present in her presence abrowns you.
So don't try to get over the baby. Don't let it.
(50:31):
Don't let don't try to get over it, work through it.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
I did not want to have kids because I felt
like the love before that I have from my mother,
she would have been such a major force in terms
of you raising kids.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
And after she passed away, I made the decision that
I did not I don't want to have kids.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
I wasn't selfish, but I knew the bond I had
with my mom and I knew the relationship I had
with my grandparents. My mom would have been so in
like I wanted her to beger to expearens.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
Out with me, and they do. When I had our son,
we went up to Cleveland's where we're from, you know what,
so he could meet you know, everybody and oh my
own I both cause we're both from Ohio. Yeah. And
literally my mother took the baby upstairs in her room.
Had I mean, she had like a mini nursery in
(51:25):
her bedroom. And I was say, okay, MAM's tapping me
to get the baby cause I was brusty. He said,
that's pump it out, Just pump it out again. I mean, Mama,
my name is not Elsie. Oh you pumped your breath
when he was in the hospital and all them babies
and they had no milk. You I was like something
pumping my brush and stigging it through. I said, Mama,
why you got to do a croom? Saydn't do it?
(51:45):
She said, all the almalks and cutting on my baby.
I was like, oh, it's that kind of party. Yeah,
And she spoils him Roden, he ain't worth a quarter
right now to dead. And that's my baby. That's my
baby and I love him to pieces. And and it's
a being a mother as a big job. I mean,
because you never stop doing that if the job doesn't end,
(52:06):
even after you pass away, because that mother love is
gonna always be with you. You know, that's gonna be
your strength, that's gonna be your life. That's gonna be
the one that you're here. And she's gonna wait e
sometime now I gotta callered my partner e E. And
then you go, okay, I'm there, now, Okay, I got it.
(52:27):
But you know, you know that your kids build a
foundation for you. So now what is the brother in
the business. He's following in the footsteps in Boston like
all of us, and he relocated. My brother's name is
in Tang. He's relocated.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
He's met his wife who's near him, and he leaves
her her family from Minneapolis, and so he leaves in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (52:56):
Kids them, but he did not want to practice. And
then I haven't end in Boston. Wendy who goes to
an attorney, and my mom set up. My mom set
up the family. She has a brother of attorney.

And so you're the one that said, okay, I'm just
gonna get outside of this window. Okay, I got things
to do, places to go, people to meet, money to make,
and then they look at your sideways when you went
to say that this is what you were going to do.
So my parents, my mom always knew that is what
you wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
Accept this law school.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
When my mom passed away, I deferred my law school
and I realized it was just poking me so long
to get over at the gap that I just couldn't
see myself and that's just to law school.

It just wasn't for me, and I couldn't give it up.
You know, you didn't give it a God had other
