You're on with Mario A Littlebitz's Oberrol.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Mario Lopez joining me on Zoom from the new podcast
old Ish, Brian Austin Green, Sharona Vergers, and Randy Spelling.
Welcome the show, guys, How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
How are you? Brother? Thank you so much for you,
Thank you for having us, thank you for taking the time.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Coincidentally, I just saw Brian and we were talking about
the podcast, and I guess it sort of manifested itself,
So I'm glad it worked out. Congratulations on the show.
Explain the promise, Well.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's really the three of us just sharing our own
life experiences and really creating a space where people can
feel seen and understood. I think a lot of people
don't look at our lives and think they couldn't possibly
be experiencing those things, and to let them know that
we all do. They are not alone in their experiences.
And what I love so much about it is it's
(00:51):
very much inspired by like the old school love line.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Right, so, yeah, did you ever used to listen to
love line on Larrence.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Dock Rock, Doctor Drew and Adam crola doctor Drew Lis
around the block for me right now?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
So I stay out.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Popped into my mind when this was coming about, was like,
and it's what we're doing right now.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It's two episodes a week, So.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Every Tuesday we have a topic that we sort of
do a deep dive into, and then on Thursday we
open it up to listeners to call in. We'll send
you a question, yeah, to d m us with questions
and sort of be involved, and we try and make
it as interactive as show as possible.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And the title, let's discuss that old ish. I know, Brian,
you hit the fifth level not too long ago. I'm
about to.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Did you dare you call me out on that march?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Well, I'm about It's a great way of looking at it.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I'm about in a couple of weeks lay when we
were the way it came about was we were talking
about the title and what could it possibly be, and
these guys were throwing around the.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Word old and I was like, well, slow your role.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I am not feeling necessarily old in this, but like
old ish and everyone kind of loved that name. And
what I think is so cool about it is the
title old Ish doesn't have to do with a number.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
It could have to do with any age that you
are in life.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's when you get to a point when you can
turn around and look back and go, oh my god,
look how far I've come. This moment right, Key felt
like it was so far away from me, and now
I'm in it. You could be a teenager going off
to college. You could be in your twenties, you could
be thirties, forties, fifties, you could be in your eighties.
Old Ish is relative to a moment you are in life.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, sure, and you can you can be mature in
some areas and incredibly immature in others.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So yeah, absolutely, it takes.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It takes learning, though, I think, and you know, communicating
and talking about things to grow.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So we're just trying to open create a safe space.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
For people to be able to do that and hopefully
and hopefully grow if they're in that point in their
life where they really they feel inspired to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, And to do that, you got to share personal
details on your own life, which is always therapeutic and
it resonates with a lot of people. Randy, I know
you're about as la as it gets originally, But Hollywood
from out here, right, born and raised out here, Yeah,
born and raised in a city of transplants. That's that's
hard to find. But ironically, you left Hollywood for Oregon.
(03:18):
I did well porn Oregon.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You lived in by the way, I'm in Portland, Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Do you have a different perspective on showbiz now living
up in the Northwest?
Speaker 6 (03:28):
I do?
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I do.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
I mean, look, I told all my friends and family
I'd be back every two months because I think that's
what I needed to be able to leave. At about
two and a half three months later, I flew back
down for something, and I started to look at all
the billboards and just realizing, Oh, there is so much
(03:50):
entertainment industry saturated in this place that living in a
different place where there's nature and trees and people are
looking at seasons, it's a different perspective, a different focus.
And so it really highlighted that for me when I
got some space from it to come back and see
it in a different light because I was in it
(04:12):
for so long and had no space from it.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Right right, No, that's fascinating, Shariatt, You've been pretty vocal
about some of the things going on over Dancing with Stars.
Would you still be open to returning or has that
ship sailed?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Always? No, the ship. That ship will never sail.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You know.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
I grew up on that show, Mario.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I love it, the cast, the crew, They're like family
to me, and I would always want to be a
part of it.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
And as I said on the podcast, two things can
be true.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I can be super sad that I'm not there with
everyone and feel, you know, even heartbroken that I didn't
get that phone call, but I can still deeply love
the show and always want to be a part of it.
Who knows where it's going to go. The universe guided
them to make this choice and to put me in
this position for this moment in time.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Next year could be different.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I definitely haven't hung up my dancing shoes, and if
I get to go back, I would love it.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You'll never hang up your dancing shoes. I mean, dancing
shoes is your That's that's part of me.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's always been such a major part of her life,
as of course, as it should be. And you're right,
they rotate a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's going to be it'll be a lot of fun.
I'm sure they'll they'll have you back. Your Your son's
Zane is about what fifteen months now, he.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Is fifteen months He's the coolest, cutest thing with his
crazy curly hair and his little.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Who Bill knows, I'm just obsessed with them.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
He's running around this house, He's making all the sounds
and doing all the things.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
He gives me heart attacks daily. Ted toddlers have a
death wish.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Like I went in the other morning and he was
chewing on the cord from the nanet that he.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Looked about it, but I was just I died.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, there are these like little drunk human beings wandering
around your house, terrorizing things, and you're bubble wrapping literally
everything that's in their way that they could possibly come across.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh, I let him learn the hard way. I let
them then. Then okay, and I got do that again.
I thought it's a natural concept. Right, that shocked you
when you've been through that quote? Didn't tell ye what
is that that again? You're gonna learn today.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
That's how we roll over at Casta Lopez. Randy, you
got a couple of kids too, right, What are the ages?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I do?
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Twelve and ten?
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Two girls?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Ah okay, what are they into?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh man? They are.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
One is into soccer, one is into art and drawing
and talking about Oldish. They started to I was telling
Brian and Sharnada earlier. They I said it, I was going.
We were about to go to Vegas to this iHeart festival.
And they said, oh, is so and so going to
be there? And they started throwing out names and I
looked at them blankly, and I made the mistake of
(06:43):
saying who is that? And I thought, oh, I'm I'm
I've hit that point. And they looked at me with
an eye roll. He said, what what do you mean?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Who is that?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
How did you not know?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Right?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I presented the list of my daughter for the iHeart
I say, hey, we can get it all looked this
and that. I'm not feeling that dead.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm not so I got shot down. She didn't want
to go, like dang, you know, like any of those artists.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I was like, all right, so h at least here
as are communicating with you? Mine is like are you done?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Are we good? Here? Just you talk way too much
to exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh God, pray for me on that one. And Brian,
you've been You've been pretty candid about co parenting struggles
with your eldest son and what what's that relationship right now?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
The relationship is is amazing. We As I said on
the on the podcast, Megan and I co parent together,
I I.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Honestly feel like.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
The topic of co parenting was we discussed it, not
so much for the details from me of the clickbait
side of it. But I have experienced both. I have
a great co parenting relationship now. I didn't so much
with my with my oldest with his mom. So I
(08:01):
have the perspective of both. And there are people that
are experiencing co parenting now and they're going through all
sorts of difficulties. So I can I can safely say
that I have navigated both, and now, yeah, I've now
come out of it, and I feel like I have
a really good understanding of what works and what doesn't.
(08:21):
And it's it's trial by error, you know. It's like
you sort of you you throw all these ideas and
these things against the wall and you go ooh, that
really worked, and you keep those in mind, and you
you sort of build this arsenal of things that work
as you do it long enough. And I have five kids,
so I've been doing it long enough, and so I
(08:45):
I honestly just tried to share that it wasn't none
of it was ever about villainizing anyone or any certain situation,
or trying to create a bad guy versus good guy thing,
or asking the audience to pick sides. There's two sides
to every story. And I've I've really grown to understand
(09:06):
that as I've gotten older, that you know, these experiences
that I had where I felt like, oh, I was
just the victim and it was just the other person
was being malicious.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
It's like, oh no, the other person's story, if.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You listen to their story, is they're just they were
just as much victimized by me as I felt I
was by them, and and both sides can be true
to the other side. So it's you have to realize
that like meeting in the middle doesn't necessarily mean that
you have you have admitted fault or anything like that.
(09:42):
It's going, Okay, you have your story, I have mine.
Let's let's find a way of living within this and
making it through in as healthy way as possible.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Very smart and mature approach.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And you're right, it's all about compromise and coming together
and having that healthy communication.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Compromise is tough. People don't realize.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
The definition to me of compromise is that neither person
is going to get one hundred percent of what it
is they want, and you have to know that going
into it. It's like, this is we're both going to
make sacrifices to what we believe and what we think
should be the case, and we're going to try and
find a happy medium within that. And so that takes
(10:22):
that takes sort of.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
A grown up view of it it is, and it
saves a lot of heartache. I learned the hard way too.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
It's not about wanting to always be right. You just
want to put it to bed and move on.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I learned, like honestly, like I approach situations and I go, Okay,
even if I win this one, am I really winning?
Am I?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You know?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Or or am I losing because I've created so much
termal you.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Won the battle, might lose the war later, right, Absolutely?
So I really try and pick my battles.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I go, you know, I decide whether something means so
much to me that I feel like, no, I need
to I need to make sure that my point in
my side is heard and is you know, and is
respected in this.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And then there are other times where I go.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
It doesn't it doesn't matter this is this is petty
what it is we're getting into, and so I'll just
let this one go and I'll just you know, take
defeat as as strongly as I can.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Good for you, a lot of wisdom on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You can learn a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It's the it's called Oldish and you can listen to
Oldish on iHeart Radio or wherever you get your pods. Brian, Seana, Randy,
