I hate a Dorito finger. It's pretty gross. I don't like a lingering smell of a Dorito. I know. I'm about to get my nails done. I'm going to get them short again because now I'm

I would be like, skip when I saw me. You know what I mean? So the fact that they didn't skip me, I thought was really nice. I haven't received anything yet, Jess, but I'm waiting. Jessie?
Starting point is 00:04:49 I think she's lovely. That's nice. Good week. Bad week. Oh, the reviews of my life. Oh, no. Here we go. Got a message.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Oh, no. It was a tweet to Entertainment Tonight. Tonight I had the opportunity to listen to the program Entertainment Tonight and was appalled by the comments made by talent on your program, Kelty Knight, when interviewing Harrison Ford. In the current climate, if those same comments made about him looking like a biscuit or something to that effect was made by a man host to a female guest,
Starting point is 00:05:21 it would not be tolerated. We should be holding women to those same standards. Okay. I have mixed feelings about this. You didn't like it when I called him a snack. No, I loved it. Oh. I loved it so much.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah. so this kind of bums me out because we should be you're not a threat to him and granted i know it i know it can go both ways but like this is where it's like when is it when is it too far yeah i think you should still be able to tell harrison ford that he looks like a snack it was funny he was cute and he loved it his publicist came after me afterwards and was like i just think everyone knows in their mind it's the intention behind yeah people i don't know anyway either way also i would like to be called a snack by any man a snack is a nice like a cute way of saying you're hot it's a cute yeah it's not like saying like you're a sexy yeah that's gross here's the
Starting point is 00:06:15 thing i have been called like wow you look sexy or you look hot in so many different ways and i took it as such a compliment and i 100 am so clear on the one time that someone said it to me and it was because you want to break into my house yes and like you we know a difference yeah he's a 77 year old man he's barely awake during the press junket like i'm just trying to keep him breathing you know what i mean made him feel really good he loved it he's 77 he looks amazing he looks so he's so hot in this movie i'm telling you the movie with the dog he like takes his shirt off and i'm like i am sexually attracted to harrison ford anyway okay that's the i love harrison ford okay so my good week is i guess one of our lady gangers was looking up googling my
Starting point is 00:06:54 net worth and somebody else took it upon themselves when we google our network to put my net worth in Do you guys want to guess what it is? $300 million. It's got to be like $10 million. $103 million. Very specific. It's $103 million, according to Wikipedia, Forbes, IMDb, and various other online resources. Does it say how they got to that number?
Starting point is 00:07:16 No. She earned the money being a professional entrepreneur. $103 million could not be the biggest lie ever. Do you even have a million dollars? No. That's amazing. So they're off. Do you have any $10?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Barely. You're like, I have between $10 and $1 million available. It would be one thing if it was $100 million, but $103 is very, very distinct. I would just pretend that that's true. I know, and just start buying things like I have $100 million. If you had $103 million, you would be wearing a janky Backstreet Boys old shirt that only has four Backstreet Boys on them, and then knock off Yeezys. I know, I bought this. No, she probably would be in the same outfit, but it would be real Yeezys.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It would be real Yeezys. These are actually Adidas. It would be real Yeezys, and then I'd be able to afford the Backstreet Boys shirt with five people on it, because this one was cheap. because kevin isn't on it but whatever it should be yeah whatever okay so my bad week is i was doing some shopping today not today yesterday and i was going into a store that i love shopping in but it's one of those stores that the employees bug you when you shop the worst thing in the world so i prepared myself i put in my airpods because i'm like if i have airpods in they're not gonna bug me it needs to be a full phone to the ear it does because i get into the store
Starting point is 00:08:28 the lady greets me and i'm like and i waved her smile but it's obviously i'm listening to something and she proceeds to stop me eight different times i don't like her to tell me about the different colors the different sizes and every time i'm like i'm fine like i know what i've shopped here before like i know what store are you in the store shopping at i can't i can't because i actually love them and well tell them you don't you're not saying who it was it's feedback it was gina no it's good it's positive feedback it is but it's a lot of these stores that are a little bit more expensive that they want people to like yeah commission commission and like bug the shit out of you but if anybody owns a boutique out there just don't do it people like to just shop
Starting point is 00:09:07 on their own yeah and i'll ask you if i need my size bitch yeah i think the nice thing to do is just be like i'm right i my name is becca if you need anything yes tell me yeah like and i've done it but now i'm gonna go on instagram behind the counter so feel free to to steal whatever you want yeah thank you perfect honestly that's what i'm looking for ideal um we have an ideal guest today from the great northern land of canada it's the one and only if you're not in it for love clap clap clap if you're not willing to give it all you got if you're not in it for love if you're not in it for life i'm out of here we are she's in here she's here guys now back to the lady gang come on over because life's about to get good our guest today is a

Starting point is 00:11:36 synopsis this is the ultimate um crying movie no it's a movie of no this is like ultimate unconditional love um and music of course ties it all together which is a you know i can relate to yeah i mean listen if you want to get into a mood or you want to express how you're feeling it's easier to do it with music right yeah you want to tell someone you love them you want to get romantic you put on romantic music you want to you know vent and uh get angry then you put on something heavy metal heavy metal so i think music is always our um the ideal reflection of our mood and our spirit and our emotions and of course in this movie the fact that jeremy is a music artist he says everything you know that their communication i think that when he's on
Starting point is 00:12:28 stage and he's singing to her that is to me the ultimate it says everything encapsulates everything encapsulates everything you've done everything i know this isn't your exactly first acting role and i'm sure you've gotten thrown stuff every day like hey we want shania to be in this why was this the one that you wanted to do and was a lot of it because of the music i was just too busy before oh i guess i mean i think i've always found the idea of acting um something that i would have like to have done much earlier on and i was um sent scripts and stuff like that but i was just so busy wearing so many hats like literally hats top hats literally top fancy chic hats i've just been really busy i'm very hands-on so uh no time to you know dive into that and then
Starting point is 00:13:18 by surprise after coming uh back to being able to sing again after the lyme disease like uh dysfunctioned my voice then i'm like you know and and now my son is older i've got more time and i'm still wearing all these hats but i'm being able i'm able to balance things better and i'm not also busy and distracted by recovering my voice and all the dedication that that took it took a lot of time and commitment so what a horrible i'm fear yeah horrible horrible thing to go through, but you're good, right? Okay. Well, I'm different. Yeah. I'm, I'm actually great. Great's a better word. I feel really great. I feel, uh, wonderful that I made it through to the other side of a very difficult journey and recovery. And it was way worse
Starting point is 00:14:13 than I thought it would be like at the actual journey once I started it. Um, but yeah, no, now i'm like i actually love my new voice i'm not it is different it's not what it was i wouldn't be able to sing uh what i used to sing the way i used to sing it i have to navigate differently but i mean come on singing there's a lot of technical elements to singing and whatever kind of singer you are you've got to have some knowledge and savvy about how to uh how to use your voice. And I just had to learn a different way of doing that. And plus my surgery was very, um, I basically have, uh, two Gore-Tex, uh, crutches on either side of my larynx. Wow. Yeah. Permanently. Wow. Apparently they'll be in there. They'll be in there long after,
Starting point is 00:15:06 after I'm, after I've turned to dust. That and the jewelry. That's it. That's it. The diamonds darling they're permanent um you're working with teen heartthrob who does not have red hair in this movie kj appa and you're his mama um have you noticed the fans going nutso because oh yeah people love oh my gosh he's like do they come for you on instagram no but he's so lovable yeah he's he's lovely he's lovable he's such a sweet person i mean he's super talented we know that we don't want to take that for granted because you know he's even very musically talented not just as an actor um and he's sweet and genuine and authentic so what's not to love about him and of course he's attractive so yeah he's a little babe that helps he's a little baby
Starting point is 00:15:55 yeah he's got a great smile and i'm like oh my god you're so cute i feel old anyway i could be your mom yeah um now you have a son of your own yeah so what kind of mama are you because in the movie you're sort of i'm worried for you but i'm going to be supportive and so like are you are you a hard mom i'm different than terry camp yeah i would have i i mean how do i know any of us know how we would be in a situation like that because it's um i mean it's not every day that you come across this type of challenge and as a parent um you want to support your child i would want to of course i would be there to support him but maybe i would want to he's not getting grandma's ring is what you're saying i i just don't think i would be able to cope with my worry
Starting point is 00:16:45 as well as terry did as well right as the character did and i need you know so i stepped into this very a more not passive but just more of the quiet supporter there's no way i would be quiet like that yeah i'd be like anyway i won't go into it but we can imagine i would be just more outwardly stressed about it and i i mean i would be more panicky about it for my son and trying to protect him and um save him and spare him from what was going to happen this inevitable heartbreak um all right so speaking of heartbreak we have a segment on our show called hollywood heartbreak so and then ish moment so ish moment is the moment where you were like i am shania freaking twain and i'm banging on a drum in a crop top and y'all come after me and then hollywood heartbreak is the
Starting point is 00:17:41 time that it was the worst like your biggest heartbreak the song you didn't get the time you lost something the you know the worst time in hollywood what do you want to do first loaded question let's start with the ish moment yeah the ish when you felt like the shit like really when like shit ish in a good way like i'm the shit the shit like see that was a very dyslexic moment well i mean welcome to our life kind of are it's like you feel like the shit and when you felt like shit yeah like you you said it one way and i totally read it the other way around right that was a very abstract perception there on my part sorry ours too so it's like when you maybe the first time like yeah that you finally felt i felt
Starting point is 00:18:29 really like i'm it yeah right now yes like good pinch me moment pinch me moment okay um i know i don't want to like i it seems weird that i should have to think so hard about this but I guess the Superbowl, 2003, I think. And why I was, I think that was just a moment when I'm like, Whoa, this is way bigger than I thought. Yeah. This is like really, cause everybody around me was, you know, saying, okay, should I like, this is, they were stressing me out about it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I was fine. I was just ready to go up there and do what I always do and get on stage. but they're like no no i don't think you understand i don't think they they thought i was taking it seriously enough because i wasn't stressing right right and so they were just saying like no no like this is epic you've got to be epic everything no pressure the pressure was so on and it's a very like quick it's very very intense yeah uh quick turnover timing getting out there on the field and and and then um that's the day that i met um gwen stefani we're backstage and she says uh or side stage and we're in the middle of a football field and she
Starting point is 00:19:47 says oh you know i i want to i want to get married someday and have kids and um you know i don't know how you do it all and i my son was only two and a half at this point and i was already into like this hot outfit i was going to be wearing this epic uh you know sexy mama powerful i'm in charge yes uh wardrobe and get out there and act like i knew what i was doing and everything like that under all the stress and she made me feel she sort of just highlighted that how big it really was in that moment and how powerful it was for me as a woman that was was doing it all i'm like wow shit i really am doing it all it just took the super bowl to make you realize yeah like five seconds before you go on stage like i'm imagining i'm managing this stress that everybody's like
Starting point is 00:20:42 yeah laying on hitting me with i would have been fine otherwise if you guys wanted to so i'm managing all that stress and that and i'm you know dealing with the fashion and the whole um which i took very seriously was it was a very important um look for me and you know very involved with that being a mom you know my son was with me that day and come on to work babe we're going to the super bowl yeah do you have a moment i mean obviously your throat struggles but do you have a moment where you were supposed to get into the bar and you were shenai twain they turned you away or like a the moment that your career really lost something in your career that you really wanted or an opportunity yeah that someone else got you know yeah something
Starting point is 00:21:34 that's really shitty um there that there's you know there's been a few little shitty things but um i think that just i was asked to speak at a university on songwriting cool and i i turned it down because i felt so insecure oh my gosh yeah i'm thinking a university i mean i'm not i'm not formally educated i don't have college i don't have university um i've never even been to a performing arts school so how am i supposed i felt intimidated by by the whole um thought of it and was overwhelmed and so i i shied away from it out of insecurity a feeling of insecurity and i regret that because i realize now that no of course i could have done that this is something i do know about yeah i'm very educated
Starting point is 00:22:34 in songwriting and this is what i'm my profession is and i it was a weird uh i was sad to have turned it down and i now just say okay i'm not shying away from stuff anymore out of any insecurity so um it's been it was a good um corner to turn and it was a low moment because Because I'm thinking, I was like, dummy. Yeah. That was the dummy. Right. Not doing it.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Well, a lot of the girls that listen to the podcast, I think that we all kind of talk about as we get into our lives and our careers, we wish that we'd have the confidence that we do now when we were younger and the opportunities were there. So it's like, what got you to the place in your life just as a woman where you had the confidence to accept those accolades and take your place and take up space and like acknowledge that you're a badass. For me personally, I mean, I, I'm sure it's very different for everybody, but I think that I, I just started with time, um, stepping out of battles that I couldn't win. I mean, you know, aging is a battle you can't win. Yeah. Um, well, I think you might be winning.
Starting point is 00:23:52 yeah i actually think if there was a super bowl you're probably winning that game yes but it is reality it's just yeah well and to keep focusing on that when it's just like you can't change anything well you can change something but like right so that battle and the focus and energy it takes is taking up too much space yeah in my life in my emotion my emotional state my my mental state I want, I've got songs to write. I'm not going to sit around. I'd rather dream about, uh, songs or dream about, uh, other things I want to do in my life. And I want to, I want to just daydream about, I want to fantasize and, um, enjoy what I do have and like, just forget about the stuff I can't change or that I can't have. so i think it's a waste of time and energy worrying about um uh slow you know trying to slow my aging process down it's just i'm just going to be healthy and i'm so much more accepting now um of the way i look you know with and without clothes you know for example and
Starting point is 00:24:58 um so a turning point or a way that i would say a state of mind that helps me uh in that regard is just saying, okay, identify what it is that I can change and what it is I cannot change and, um, reduce the, uh, the overload. Yeah. And I'm sure being like, you're a huge sex icon when always, but, and having everybody give their unsolicited opinions to probably what you're wearing or your physical appearance or whatever, that's probably even harder to, it's hard enough for us ladies, normal ladies that don't have a peanut gallery that don't, that aren't being seen by millions of people every day to be okay with our bodies and our body image and stuff like that. It's about letting go. I think that once you dive in,
Starting point is 00:25:50 that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Don't paint over it anymore. Just, you know, it's like, okay, I decided to wear that. It didn't work out or somebody else didn't like it. But there's a reason why I wore that in that moment, or there's a reason why, you know, and so you commit and you love that what you love that what you did in that moment for yourself and if it didn't doesn't work out uh you know to from somebody else's perspective um i don't know you you learn from it i guess if you even agree or care and then i mean i'm not saying being different i think it's really good to be i i i do aim to please i i write songs that i want to affect people with in a positive way i want to i want to use music to connect so of course i want i want to know
Starting point is 00:26:38 what people are thinking and how they're feeling it's not that i don't care what they think uh but i can't um apologize or i won't apologize for whatever it was i was thinking in that moment i'm just you know and i you have the right to say well you know what i'm okay you know i felt that way then and i feel differently now right you're listening to the lady gang fashion has been so hand in hand with what you've done throughout all of these years we were looking we're just googling you we have googled you for hours today well we're deciding what we're going to wear to your residency yes we're all going to be a different shania i'm leopard shania because i love the crop top bell bottom situation i already
Starting point is 00:27:24 own a top hat for halloween costume for abraham lincoln so i'm gonna use that it's a common halloween costume i'm gonna be i'm gonna be i'm gonna be um i'm gonna be top not shania i mean top hat shania i'm denim on denim i thought you were gonna say topless shania yeah i mean after a few drinks we're all gonna be topless yeah so it's fine yes are you having the time of your life in vegas i am i really love it there i love the um the performance community there yeah it's cool so if you're visiting there as a um a tourist or just a party person or you're there to celebrate it's one city yeah which is of course really fun and and amazing there's not i would say like there was a time when three days in vegas was enough it is not enough
Starting point is 00:28:15 anymore anymore there's too much to do two days is too much no no no no it's not it's not listen there's games to go to there's art galleries there's incredible restaurants there's golf shows shows shows everywhere and like amazing ones and everything at a super high standard and i didn't even mention shopping yeah oh yeah the shopping is epic dangerous so three days forget it you'd leave um you wouldn't be able to do everything but as a performer well we're coming it's a dream and we are so excited oh my gosh now i do want to ask you about this past award season because there's a major one for you and brad pitt didn't impress you much when brad pitt won his oscar absolutely i was very happy for him and finally shania's
Starting point is 00:28:58 impressed i feel i kind of feel like he's been haunted by this um song yeah yeah it's this you know he's so he should be so lucky he should be so lucky to impress the queen also somebody's gonna knock him down you know exactly and it can only be you i'm just even in the time i mean i i don't really first of all i don't it's amazing that the whole thing is still oh yeah cycling i'm still like it's still a thing you're hot but you're not shania hot you're not hot i mean i guess we've both we're just both still around and so the subject is there and it's a lot of fun and it's fun to talk about you ever connected i've never met him you never get him we'll bring him to the show with us we'll just call him a friend bratty boy does brad sing i don't think so i
Starting point is 00:29:46 wouldn't be surprised if he did yeah he probably is good at everything yeah i can't believe they didn't like put you together for some charade for like mtv back in the day like you and brad i know yeah charade would be fun i mean what is your wouldn't do a charade with brad pitt what does your son think about having like this icon of like feminine sexuality like his friends must kind of freak out a little bit over you because you're hot but like for him does he does he like get embarrassed or does he single celebrate it he's single uh-huh oh boy oh good does he need to know right are you offering yourself i'm already married but i have like you know we have like a million fans i probably want to set up but i'm just well he's he is very um supportive

Starting point is 00:31:26 it just took his sense of appreciation, and he was proud, and I think he really wants me to also maybe enjoy more of my accomplishments, and it was cute. I really think it was. That's so sweet. Yeah, if not for him, they'd just still be down there. They'd still be in the basement. That's so crazy to me. well you know she has an emmy and it goes it's in my bag travels with it it's literally in my purse
Starting point is 00:31:54 but she would if she could i would i'd put it on a chain around my neck it's my most proud we're the opposite yeah she's the nice canadian and i'm the asshole canadian yeah there's got to be one of these that's how it works um i thought it was really cool that halsey kind of put the video how cool is that but um because i can't keep you any longer i do want to skip over that question yay we're so happy for halsey that she got to rip you off in a good way but i want to ask you this for all of our ladies they're all different ages but what is something that you wish someone had shooken you in your 30s and told you about life take us to church whether it's like something about motherhood or just life in general or career or people think yeah anything
Starting point is 00:32:41 okay so the 30s just getting but getting to that i'll try to be really quick about it but i only actually made it when i was 30 so i was older no no i was 30 when i had my first hit oh my gosh so um that is interesting so my 30s were so intense yeah well then maybe what about your just like well yeah in my 20s yeah i wanted to quit singing i wanted to quit music yeah um i'm probably like too serious for this conversation not at all it's like no no this is what our yeah we want yeah but it's like it might so my parents died when i was um 21 and i um i wanted to quit music and i really i'm like okay there's more important things to do in life all my other friends are in college university i'm the the one that doesn't have a real job
Starting point is 00:33:38 um my i was really sort of doing a lot of it for my mom because it was her dream for me to make it someday and there was so much sacrifice through my childhood for me to sing and and my own sacrifice i'm like well i just gotta do it you know i almost felt obligated to do it even though i was passionate about music and it would always have been um something that i did but for myself for sure not as a career and so when my parents died i'm like i'm gonna just i gotta get a real life and i don't have any support now like not support but i mean we were always we didn't have anything anyway but now i've got no foundation i've got no parents i've got to be responsible for my the younger kids uh i gotta get real now
Starting point is 00:34:29 yeah yeah i gotta quit playing around and i haven't made it yet you know i'm already in my 20s right i'm thinking and i got a so i was gonna quit music and a friend of mine said uh she literally just said no i won't let you quit just come with me one time to go see something that i think uh you'll be able to make a a good check at and you'll still be able to sing and it was just a little uh stage show but it got me into high heels like i was very boyish before this so i would be on stage in bare feet and um you know really sort of more folky rocky country girl and so this show was a really important transition for me and if it wasn't for that i guess shake up of no no no you are destined to do music and you i i won't let you quit and um i never looked back really
