And what it's like to be siblings.

We are a sibling rivalry. No, no. Sibling rivalry. Don't do that with your mouth. That's good. Ollie, this is someone that you know pretty well, that you've worked with. Yeah, I worked with her on a show called Nashville. There's a good chance she was extremely attracted to me during this time.

But she is the. reason i even did this show because i was getting paid zero dollars it was right when rio was born i'll tell i'll tell her this when she comes on i was so afraid to leave went to nashville crying my eyes out and it turned out to be a great fun experience with my girl connie britton i think she is one of the greatest human beings ever in our industry she's so loved i ran ran into her at the airport in Toronto. She's probably there right now. I have a feeling.

In Toronto? Yeah, because she's shooting. Oh, you just ran into her? Yeah, at the Toronto Film Festival. We literally went through customs together. Oh, my God. And we, um, what is she doing? I don't know.

We can talk to her about it, but should we bring her in? Yeah, let's bring her in. I want to. I have a few questions. Really? Do you? Yeah. I have a few questions.

A few questions for Connie. Mm-hmm. What is going on, freaks? Hello. Hi, guys. Hi. Are you still in Canada? No.

Are you? No. So you're back. I'm back. I'm back. I was there very briefly. Oh, great. Yes.

I was just telling Oliver that we ran into each other in the customs. I had to have a little bit of a conversation with myself, though, because I ran into you. And you looked so like we'd just been on. that long flight and you looked so put together and fabulous and I was literally like in my PJs and it was like terrible hair and no makeup and I was like I got to do better oh no you looked beautiful you always looked beautiful Connie did you talk about me or no I don't think we did we might have we she might have said how's all right great Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was the first thing I said. Yeah. No, no, I know. Well, I'm trying to get my work permit. It should be top of mine. Oh, that's my job. You have to get a work permit.

You know, oh, God. What are you doing in Toronto? I'm not doing it anymore. I did this great show. I just did a tiny little guest thing. This great show called Overcompensating. Have you guys heard of? I hadn't, but now I know who he.

is and I will, I'm forever changed. Have you heard of Benny Drama? Beny Drama. That sounds from the internets. No. He is this amazing young comedian and has all the, you know, kind of his whole story is about how he comes from Idaho and he like put on, like, he was, he pretended to everybody that he was straight for a really long time.

And so this show is about him doing. doing that and then finally coming out in college. And it's so funny and so good. I think the show is going to be awesome. He's shredded. He is shredded. He's very handsome. He's very handsome.

He's so handsome. He's so talented and funny. Are you watching our video? We just watch. You're watching a video. There's not even sound on it. I know. You can laugh.

It's funny. It was Charlie X-CX because she was in the show. She's in the show. Oh, fun. Yeah. So we were like, and I, you know, he was just doing that dance. And of course, I had no idea what I was doing. What difference does it make.

How fun. Oliver, how are you? I'm good, babe. I, I, I'm on a, did a liver cleanse. I'm two weeks into intermittent fasting. I've lost eight pounds. I feel good. I'm sexy.

I'm sexier. you know, than I've ever been. I mean, you know. That's objective. No, it's not. Subjective? Yeah. Subjective?

Yes, it's subjective. It's one of the adjectives. It's ajective. I just did. It's ajective. It's ajective. And I'm good. I need a job, but I'm good.

Well, I want us to do. What are we going to do? We have to do something. No, I know, I just, there's so much untapped talent that is, like, just flowing through this. No, and even when I've worked with you, there's so much untapped talent. No, I know. Even in every scene we've done. Do you?

Like, it's just like, wow, wow, I know it's in there somewhere. Do you, do you remember when we were, do you remember when we were doing a scene and I farted? Oh. I probably I actually don't remember that it was it was one of the great moments in my career it was like something all serious where I'm the asshole you know record guy and and I'm at like edge hill records or some shit and I'm not supposed to be there and Connie's giving this whole speech of like how I shouldn't be there and to get out or whatever she's saying and it's all serious and I'm just looking at it I'm supposed to deliver a line and I just fucking

and then walk off. I remember the first my first time meeting you you had just gotten to set and you were in tears because you just left your newborn baby. Yes, it was awesome. Who was? Which one? Which one was? It was Rio. It was Rio. Yeah, I mean, I remember

You're crying. Oh, she was 10 days old and I had to leave and I was getting paid. nothing for the first season. It was just sort of top show guest spot stuff. I just, but honestly, because you were in Nashville, I was like, I need to, I mean, it's Connie Britton. I have to go do this, even though I'm not getting paid. And I was devastated. I was crying at the kitchen table when my car was coming. And I literally said, I'm going to call my manager and say, fuck this. I'm not. I'm not. I remember this. I'm not going. And I said, I don't care if ABC hates me.

I don't care. I'm not. I can't do this. And Aaron, my wife was like, get up, get in the fucking car. It all worked out. But I was just devastated. Oh, yeah. I mean, I would have been the exact.

The whole like parenting and working thing is so hard. Yeah. I'm thinking it's so difficult. It's also like it's just that. My God, how's your baby, by the way? 13. crazy 13 like at that time i mean that's how long it's been because at that time you was what three two three it's just crazy i just feel like you're so lucky if you're able to take your kids with

you and you're working but the thing for our crazy life is like the hours are just insane it's like you just don't see your kids you know and nothing shoots in l and i anymore i'm about to leave my girl for the first time for two months And, I mean, I won't leave her for that whole time, but, but it's like, I'm like having major separation anxiety, you know? It's like big, big time. I mean, I just know I have to say no to things because I can't, I just, I did this thing in New York for six months in the winter where I was basically commuting to New York. And it just about killed me because also I can't stand. away from him, like, I just can't stand it. And especially now, like, he's getting into that, like, you know, it's like junior high. It's like, ooh. Yeah. And, and then, so I would like literally land in New York, you know, the last, whatever, midnight. And of course, have like a 5 a.m. pick up the next morning. And then the second that I wrapped from set, like, race to the airport to get home. And I was doing it, like, every week.

for like six months and it's like it wrecked me yeah yeah i'm gearing it to be wrecked i guess that's what's happening where are you going to be shooting it's so me i'll be and i'll be around new york yeah but you know look they get a little bit older and you realize like you do have you kind of have to go back to her if you love it you know so this is my first time really leaving her for a longer period of time yeah um you know i will only go like 10 days because I'm crazy like that but yeah you're I think you also it hurts more for yourself than it does your actual child I know they're so happy you know I mean we we are more devastated than they are that's I mean listen you know I'm a single mom so like when I'm gone he's with a nanny

I'm available by the way he's the best. By the way, when I was a single mom, thank God for all of them. All he wants is siblings. Yeah. So I'm going to just drop him at your house. Yeah. He can hang out with your kids. He'll be an honorary Hudson when you're out of town. Oh my God. I will be a great father to him. You are a great father. And you will be a great father to Yovie. Speaking of childhood, Connie, Britain. What was your childhood like?

Where were you born? I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. And did you live? Were you born and raised there? No. I only lived there. My dad was in both my parents were in school there. You know, they got, they like had babies so young.

And so we were born there. But then my dad got out of school and we moved to Maryland. So when I was like, one, we moved to Rockville, Maryland. Is that near D.C. or no? Yeah. Yeah. So kind of they were, our mom, yeah. Our mom's from Maryland.

Oh, really? Where? Yeah, she's from Tacoma Park. Silver Spring, right? That's real. That's near where I was. That's near where we were. Yeah.

But we only live there until we were seven. And then we moved to Virginia, Lynchburg, Virginia. And that's where I always think, like, that's where I think of when I think about where I grew up because I loved it. My mom, I remember my mom being like, she was from Connecticut and she thought that like the world was over because we were going to like the sticks in Lynchburg, Virginia, which, you know, it was certainly small town Virginia, but like it was a great place to grow up. I had so much fun as a child. Why did you guys move to Lynchburg? So from like seven to until you left? Well, seven till, yeah.

And in fact, then my dad, because his work, like he would switch, he switched company. Like, I think when we were in Maryland, he was working for the guy. My dad was a nuclear physicist. Oh, wow. And so he was working in nuclear energy for the government. and then he moved to like a private company in Virginia but then actually when we when we graduated that my parents moved to Ohio Akron, Ohio and then I thought my life was over because I was I was going to college but I was so sad that we were leaving like my town that I loved so yeah but then

they ended up moving back there both of my parents had passed away but um yeah like that's my southern background you so you have like you've like uh you're you're a country girl i mean kind of kind of i'm a suburban girl it's it was probably more suburbs than country but it was country yeah but when i think back on it though comparatively yeah like we had a creek in the back of our house and we grew up at the foot of the blue ridge mountains and Yeah, it was, we had, it was country-esque, country adjacent. You have a twin sister. Mm-hmm.

Are you identical or? Eternal. Fraternal. Is that your only sibling? And that's my only sibling. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects, or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure. I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place will stay in, and how to make it feel like home.

Before we get into the sibling stuff, nuclear, I mean, that's a really amazing thing. thing to do and actually really interesting because obviously nuclear energy is like considered one of the cleanest energies. And a fascinating thing that's going on with clean energy and nuclear energy because there's a lot of fear around it.

Yeah. But it is a very interesting like solution. And how come you didn't become a nuclear physicist? I know, right? It's such an obvious question. No, it's so, you know, like back in those days, I wish my dad was still alive because I would be so, my dad was like one of the greatest men I've ever known and he had so much integrity and such a good heart and he was involved in nuclear power. And I remember growing up, you know, we weren't allowed to, we weren't allowed to speak Jane Fonda's name in our house or watch anything, and they watched, watch anything that Jane Fonda was in. And of course, now I'm really good friends with Jane Fonda.

And like, I, she's like my idol, you know. But at the time, it was, it's just so interesting because my dad's like, she doesn't, but she's talking about, whatever. And it was an important conversation to have at that time. and it is now as well. But there was, did you guys ever hear of the Three Mile Island accident? Yeah. So my dad's company, he didn't do, he wasn't in charge of plant design when it happened. But my dad's company did the plant design for Three Mile Island.

So when that, I'll never, that was a very big thing that happened in our household because my dad had to jump in and deal with that. Wow. That whole thing. So yeah, it was an interesting. time. And I would love to, I bet he would have so much to say now in terms of clean energy and how that relates and the right way to do it and the wrong way to do it. Yeah. It's really fascinating. I have a friend who's actually in it. And I, she was talking to me about it. Really? Yeah, it was,

you know, because you, you have these sort of obvious preconceived ideas around nuclear energy. Yeah. And then when you, you know, but, but I, I'm no expert. But when you start listening to people who really know what they're talking about, it's a, it's a, it's fascinating. Yeah. What did Jane Fonda do? Well, she, she, she like really, you know, she was active, she would sort of, she protested

nuclear energy. Oh, she did. And then she made a movie called the China Syndrome. Yes. Which was, you know. Jack, was Jack Lemon in that? I don't remember. No, maybe.

I don't know. I don't know because I wasn't allowed to watch it. Oh, yeah. She was enemy number one in your household. Yeah, public enemy number one. That's so interesting. I know, isn't it funny? So your sister, is she creative?

Is she in the arts? So no, my sister and I from day one, I was born 11 minutes before she was, which, by the way, that's a long time. a long time. A poor laboring mother. I was just about to say that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a big, that's a big differential. Yeah. So, um, but she, uh,

but we were always so different. We looked completely different. Like we don't even look like sisters, no less twins. Wow. And, um, and then it's that funny thing where you look back. And we just are such different people,

but you kind of. to look back and it's like did we because to some degree it feels like we chose it so it's like if i was interested in acting then she certainly wouldn't do that you know it's it's like we were always trying to differentiate so it's like she was you know she was technically the smart one you know and i was like the artsy one um but but it's and it's it's it's i don't know if it's because we chose that so that we could be, so we could separate and be individual or if it's because that's who we always were, you know, it's that funny thing. Were you super connected growing up? I mean, honestly, we didn't have that. Like, we've always been, like, we will, we will jump to support each other

and help each other. And we've always had that. But we were so different. And also we were at odds a lot growing up. Um, so we didn't have, you know, a lot of twins talk about like this, they can just read each other's minds and we didn't have any of that. It was like, we were like siblings, like just, you guys were like, I don't want to read your mind. Right. I don't. Yeah, like, I don't even understand your mind over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You do, you do you. That's interesting, because you really do hear a lot about twins usually being so feeling bizarrely connected, you know? Yeah.

Yeah. I know. It's funny. Like we, it was more, I think it's more how I imagine siblings are to each other. Yeah. Well, the fraternal though, fraternal is just two eggs, right? Yeah, right? Yeah, two eggs.

Yeah. It's like you just, and the identical is when it splits. That's right. Yeah. I mean, two eggs. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Yeah. I'm glad. Two eggs is a tiny ball. Cleared that off. I mean, so clearly two eggs. I mean, they're two completely different entities. It's not really, yeah. The only real sort of is that womb, the womb connection.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. So that's, I mean, that's, that would make more sense. I mean, I would think identical twins probably have the weird stuff. Mm-hmm. More. Yeah, they, I mean, because that's like,

that's part of the same thing. They're part of the same thing. Yeah. I mean, gosh, think about like two eggs. That's like usually you do that separately. Yeah. Two things in there. I can't even imagine. Crazy. I had a friend who had identical twins and she's really young and they were like so excited. They're pregnant. And then they found out that it was they're like, well, you're having identical twins and they both were like no we're not no

no we're not and it was like a moment of like this is crazy yeah and then of course now like they're out the kids are so cute

and it's but they didn't even know which one was which yeah they had to like put a yarn like they had that because they were so identical

the parents didn't even know yeah they were so identical in the very beginning they looked exactly the same. And so they had to find the thing to identify them as the difference. That seems surreal.

It's why, yeah. And then very early on they could tell the, they should just get a tattoo. Yeah, that's a good idea. That's just do birth tattoos. Yeah. So dark. Oh, my God.

So when you were growing up, I mean, did you, you say your dad was lovely? was your mom, did you just have a very wholesome? Did it feel very wholesome in your childhood? It was pretty wholesome. Yeah. It was pretty darn wholesome. And your mom was she a mom? Like, did she work or was she?

No, my mother. My mother, what did she used to say? My mother didn't work outside the home. Like she used to, it was like, it was basically like she was acknowledging she worked. just not outside the home because she worked in the home. Yeah. So, yeah.

My mother was like a big volunteer, big community. Did you have like dinners every night at 630? Every night we'd have dinner. My dad traveled a lot for work. Yeah, like a lot of pot roasts. A lot of pot. Okay, no. My mother was not the best cooks.

So there were a lot of casseroles. Yes. And that usually involved cream of mushroom soup. Camel's cream of mushroom soup. My favorite chicken growing up was just slag of cream of mushroom. It's our mom, too. Yeah. Really?

Oh, my God. She still doesn't. She still, yeah. She just, there's never a day without cream and mushroom Campbell soup. Stop it, really. Well, she's a very interesting cook. I mean, she's an incredible cook. And then at times, she'll just throw a bunch of shit into a pot and then, like, boil it and then serve it with some monster cheese on top.

And then a thing, and she'll taste it. Right. She'll grab another thing. And then all the next thing, you know, there's cumin going into it. You're like, wow. And then all of a sudden, like a can of tuna. You're like, wait a minute. I don't think that works.

What is it? And then she'll finish it off with monster cheese on top under a broiler. And then you're like, okay. that sounds delicious we've never really unpacked this this might be the first time on our podcast we've actually talked about this let's talk about it because i think it's really funny that she really is the queen of the one pot oh yeah yeah and it's so so practical oh god yeah her fingers are always sort of like it's the fingers that can darting around in the food Oh, my God.

I love that. That's the side of a true cook. Darting fingers. I sometimes when I see them come to my food, if she's going to pick something off of my food, I'm like, mom, mom, mom. And then she just, she loves her eating. You do the same thing, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ollie uses his fingers to pick at your, at other people's food too. We're family. But you just get a little taste. I say, listen, I'm all about it. Like, I like, I like eating with my hands. It's like sensual. Sensual. Yeah.

If you have any Jewish blood and any Italian blood, we have both. There's a lot of hand eating. Yeah. Yeah. Testing, hand eating. Oh, yeah. Yeah. A lot of eating.

For sure. Yeah. It's good. It's good. It's like the spice of life as it were. Do you cook? Are you a cook? No.

Not at all? Literally not at all. So you just order food? I order food every night. You do? Every single night for my son. I'm like, what do you want tonight? Little Dums or Sugarfish?

Right. We have one, at least once a week, we have both of those things. And then I run it. And then I'm like, oh, boy, where are we going to eat tonight? Because we already ate sugarfish and we already ate little dams. So I don't know. I can make breakfast. I'm really good at breakfast.

But you guys are west. Yeah, we're west. Yeah. We're east. West side. West side and east side in Los Angeles is like you might as well be living in New York City. Like I might, like I actually see my friends in New York more than I see my friends in east of the 405. Oliver, which you was not the case when we were working together and now have a wonderful man in my life who lives in Santa Monica.

Oh, that's a real thing. That's real thing. Is this new? No, five years. Are we, I'm like, if you get a sibling-revely exclusive? This is so cute. Oh, five years is not new.

No, because when we were working together, you're kind of dating. Five years for me is usually when it's over. I know, man, holding on. We're holding on. That's good. I'm happy for you. That's so good.

I didn't know that. That's so great. I know, it's great. It's not Will Chase, is it? Oh, my God. No, I think I'm the only one who didn't take Will Chase. Where is Will? He's in New York.

New York. I love Will. Have you seen Will lately? We had a Christmas trimming party. We had such a fun. Remember that one year? We Christmas did our Christmas tree. He's the best.

He's with Ingrid, you know, doing his thing. Is he still with Ingrid? Yeah. That's so great. Yeah. That's great. No, I know. He's great.

he's such a good he's such a good guy yeah we need to have a little reunion do you keep in touch with Hayden actually texted she's doing much she's doing pretty good I loved that show I think it's the only show I watched of all ofers really yeah well like like consistently yeah no no I watch them but I don't watch them like no I get it I get it everything I do is not great I understand. It's the life of any actor, Oliver. No, but we honestly don't watch each. I mean, I barely watch anything. But Nashville, I was like hooked.

Oh, yeah. Really? I'm still always surprised by, like, people really loved that show. They did. I think I was, I was traumatized because I was a new mother. Yeah. That show was so much work. Well, especially because you were also producing it.

Yeah. And, you know, singing and then like more doors and crazy. Yeah. And then dealing with, you know, network soapy drama that. Right, right. I thought it was going to be one thing. Yes. Way sopier than I thought I was going to be.

Yeah. Well, I mean, those scripts were like 70 pages. I mean, it was crazy. So I would do a scene and I'd be like, oh, that was pretty good. That felt good. Moving on. And then I'd watch it and it was chopped within an inch of its life where all of a sudden you're like, oh, I'm a horrible. It made me into a horrible actor.

I look terrible. You're right. I forgot about that. That's what was so frustrating because you couldn't really do a performance. No, because it was, there was so much material. It just had to bring it down so much. Yeah, I think that's one of the things that it's sort of the shows. I mean, granted, you know, I loved Nashville.

And it provided, for me, even as someone who loved it, like, it provided everything I wanted from that. But as, as from, from like a creative point of view, when you're trying to achieve something different, that becomes so hard. You know, and then it's hard to decipher if it's good or not because you're like, well, wait a minute, I was looking to do this. You're trying to make this happen. Now I can't tell if this is good. But it was good. You know what I mean? like it was exactly that like it gave you everything you wanted from that wasn't friday night lights

well that was the problem i had just come from friday night lights which was such a such a creative experience you know and i thought just it was i you know i loved that i loved that show and i loved doing it and so then i came into this and it was all of those things that you were saying Oliver. Like it was much more kind of pieced together and there were all these elements and it felt very network, you know? And I kind of had thought it was going to be more documentary style and like I don't know. So.

Grit to it. Yeah. So I felt like I was always sort of trying to fight those. Fight for that. Yeah. September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects, or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure. I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place will stay in, and how to make it feel like home. I'm already imagining the kind of Airbnb that would make the trip unforgettable, somewhere with charm, character, and a little local flavor. If you're planning to be away this September, why not consider hosting

your home on Airbnb while you're gone. Your home could be the highlight of someone else's trip, a cozy place to land, a space that helps them feel like a local. And with Airbnb's co-host feature, you can hire a local co-host to help with everything from managing bookings to making sure your home is guest ready. Find a co-host at Airbnb.ca slash host.

I would be the first immigrant mayor in generations, but 40% of New Yorkers were born outside of this country. Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized?

but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith. And that's what I believe in. To bring you death and analysis from a unique Latino perspective. There's not a single day that Paola and I don't. don't call or text each other, sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country.

Listen to the Super Secret Bestie Club As a part of the Michael Tura podcast network Available on the IHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast I guess I guess When there's some It's always becomes like the creatives

and then the network execs or the streamers or whatever you're working with there's always sometimes like an ad odds when it comes to things that are a little bit more what they consider network

it's like you can make this better you know right like it doesn't have to look like this for it to be this to be what you think it's supposed to be and so they kind of undermine the creatives which is which to me kind of ruins the genre

of those types of things like I feel that way in rom-coms all the time they dumbed down like a rom-com when what you realize is that every great one was created like like a great film it wasn't like oh we're going to make a rom-com and we're going to spend very little money and we're going to cut out all the things that make it good so all your production value is gone because it's okay it's going to make certain people happy and that's good enough exactly like that's you know who was in my household growing up on a loop your mother yes my favorite like literally every goldie han chevy chase movie like i that was my biggest those were my biggest inspirations of my life and though and we don't make movies like that anymore like a real

romantic like amazing hilarious yeah i mean look you had Neil Simon writing. Yeah, Neil Simon. You had some of the great directors and writers. I was just talking about last night, Seems Like Old Times. That's so funny. I was talking about Seems Like Old Times yesterday.

Yeah, foul play. Yeah, foul play. I was just talking about this. Yeah, I was with the Ken Jong and John Hamm. I had a weird dinner last night. Weird. Yeah, and we were talking to. That's fun.

It was fun. It was just started talking about Seems Like Old Times. and it was with Groden and Chevy. And I was talking about this movie that I'm producing with a friend of mine and we're trying to, I'm going to meet this with this comedian who he was saying reminds him of Chevy Chase and we started talking about seems like old times and foul play. Because those movies were written to be great movies.

Right. That's right. They weren't written to be like a comedy. Yeah. Now when people talk about, first of all, it seems like people are afraid to make romantic comedies. Yeah, well, there's been a resurgence, you know, with Glenn's movie, you know, whatever it's called, anyone but you or, you know, and there's, there's been a bit of a

resurgence, but not to say that they're good and really, but they're, it's been semi-successful, so there could be. You forget, like, the great, you know, I say, my big thing is, like, you have to invest in the talent for those things to be the classics, you know, or they're just going to come and go and I get but our industry I mean this is obviously turning into a now we're this is a movie podcast show business podcast we're going to bring it back to my sibling but you know the industry is changing so drastically I feel sometimes like it was like music you know 15 years ago the last eight years of our industry have been like very drastic and there's so much fear based decisions being

made right now internally, I believe. I agree with you. I think it's everything, it's just there's no, everything's imploding, I feel like. Yeah. I always believe that it's the times when things are imploding where all of the people who are used to making things for a lot of money and the industry starts to change is when great art starts to happen. I agree. So what's, what I'm excited about is for like my son's generation and hopefully all of us veterans to get on board with these young kids who want to tell stories for nothing. Yeah. And hopefully those will end up in the theater and have some opportunity to be seen because

they're going to be doing things that, you know, no one's doing at these streamers. There needs to be another outlet for those things to be seen because it's still a business. Commerce matters. They're not going to be in theaters if it's not going to make money. I mean, it goes back to all of that. there needs to be a sort of a platform to where these art pieces can be recognized and become more mainstream. Yeah, I felt like at Toronto this year, there was so many cool movies. Like there was a lot.

It felt like how it used to feel. You know, we had COVID and then there was the strike. But now it felt like there's all these movies that are happening in Toronto when I was there at the film festival. And same from my friends talking about Venice. it's a very robust year for good art. Yeah. The question is we'll find out where do they go? And who sees them and do they have a life?

Yeah, but are they going to be in the theater? Like where are they going to get bought by a streamer? Like where do these movie, you know, where can they sit? You know, we need like a Jeff Bezos to say here's a hundred million dollars. Not enough. And we're going, no, we're going to finance. art, small movies, small television shows, you know, that are personal pieces where the outcome is more about the artistry and not the commerce. So I don't care if it makes money. This is a

grant. Right. But I will say this show that I was doing in Toronto overcompensating is for Amazon, funny enough. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a real, it is, I think, you know, I mean, again, I just came in and did like a couple episodes, but I think it's going to have real artistry to it. And I think it's going to tell a story that feels really relevant. And it's really personal to this, you know. That's so great. Yeah. Well, I mean, honestly, that's where we're at right now. Yeah. TV is where the artistry now is coming from because some of these little shows, people take chances on them and bang. You know what I mean? They get their really really amazing and very really good and they catch on and it becomes a word of mouth type of a thing

if you're if you're a great writer if you can do great writing and have a very clear vision that is half of it yeah it's and then and then the and then the opportunity to sort of or for the network streamer to take their hands off and say hey you drive because you know what the fuck you're doing I was actually going to ask you that you did NBC because it was Pete Byrd just say, you know what, fucking go. You're Pete Berg, you're obviously great at what you do. You did Friday Night Lights prior. Like, just do what you do.

Because it was so different for a TV show. I mean, it was sort of... I know. It wasn't Friday Night Lights FX? No, it's NBC. It was NBC. But what's interesting, though, they did say that. And then Pete, basically, it was really the trademark of the way we shot the show

because he was like, nobody pushes us around. Nobody put, you know, he, like, he came when we went to series. He came to Austin and he's like, we're doing, you guys are in charge. You guys have to make sure we do this the way we do this. You know what I mean? Because we would have visiting directors and, you know, but there was a very specific style to that show that we all cherished. And it gave everybody a sense of ownership for the show.

But, you know, actually, because in the. very beginning, NBC really like promoted it as like, you know, a show about football with like beautiful young kids kind of thing. And then that wasn't really landing. The truth is NBC got rid of the show by the second season. And it was bought by direct TV. Nobody remembers that. We were going to be done about that and the fans it was like one of those things where the fans like they sent in light bulbs to nbc like save the show saved the show and so direct tv bought the show that's right yeah wow so we did one season of 22 the next season we only did 18 because it was the writer strike yeah and then after that it was direct tv and so we did i think 13 every for the rest of the time

Wow, I forgot that. Yeah. Did you, were you like a young, growing up, is this what you wanted to do? Were you like a little performer all the time? I did. It was my dream. Like, as my, you know, I used to talk to my best friend on the phone. Well, I was really lucky because I went to a public high school, you know, a little public high school in Lynchburg, Virginia.

And it had an amazing drama department. We had an incredible drama teacher. And that was it for me. I mean, that was my whole high school experience. And it was cool. Like even the football players, like all the cool boys like did plays and stuff. So it wasn't like we were drama nerds. We were like cool drama nerds.

And so I would always dream. I was like, well, if I could do anything, we would talk about what would we do. And I was like, well, I'd be an actress, you know, if I could do anything. and my best friend was like, I'd be a ski bum. But those were comparable. The reality of me being an actress was probably less likely than being able to be a ski bum. And so I went to college. My parents, you know, nuclear physicists, like, we're all about education.

Went to college, liberal arts college. Where'd you go to school? Dartmouth in New Hampshire. Fancy. Fancy. So fancy. Us Hudson's know nothing about stuff like that. We don't go to college.

Us ranch folk. We don't do that. Ranch folk. I mean, guys, we have such, we have such different upbringing. We have such different experiences. Isn't that crazy? Are you finding that with your podcast talking to people? Yeah, it's interesting talking about siblings because you must get so much information about how people grow up.

Yeah. The most interesting thing is the universal sort of feeling is that you siblings can be raised the exact same way, but the perception of how they were raised is completely different. you know one thinks dad was incredible and the other one who's two and a half years younger thinks dad was an asshole you know even though they were both raised the same way right but we don't have that to us yeah no no no which is i find that interesting when that's happening yeah but but kind of i mean you know i'm mom's favorite are we like doing we are we like doing a research thing like should we write a book about siblings at some point i feel like we So, I mean, it's really interesting.

Yeah, it's. Well, it's such a fascinating relationship. I just skip over that at this point. My sister and I have such, like, really, really different points of view about life. And we are such dramatically different people raised by the same two people in the same house, given the same opportunities. It's, it is, it is, it is fascinating, you know, and so it kind of, I don't know, you know, it's, it is sort of like when you, now that I'm a parent thinking, oh God, I'm screwing, I'm going to like totally screw him up or whatever. Yeah. And you realize like, there's not, there's not a lot of right answers when you're trying to be a parent.

It's just, you just got to kind of show up. Oh, yeah. You just, it's like I was listening to. Just love. Just love. Yeah. Sounds trite. Yeah.

It's just like a present. Just be present. And be loving. It just is what it is. Your life experience is exactly what it is in that moment. And you just have to like. Yeah. And you're for sure screwing him up.

I mean, we all do. No, exactly. It's just to what degree. But we're all screwing them up somehow. You know, one way or another. And my kids are perfect. Oh, my. My side is perfect, too, but you're definitely screwing yours up.

But I feel like, I honestly feel like our childhood, there was so much, it was, it actually really was quite an artistic unit we had because it was unorthodox. Like, they weren't crazy, like, everyone, so many people we talk to, it's a lot about education, like your parents, like that was really important, the structure of that and all those things. We didn't have any of that. No, I can't remember ever doing homework or being helped with homework. Right, or being asked if we even had home. No, yeah.

It was like, yeah, our life experience growing up was really about connecting with each other, being kind, showing up for each other. And laughter, human. Huge. Right. And guys, you know what I just realized? All three of us were raised by your mother. I'm telling you. you because she was such an inspiration in my house too like i think she because my parents were much

more sort of conservative and i think like i think i was so drawn to her because of all those things you just described you know the laughter and this like kind of like freedom to be joyful and put that out into the world you know and like and like filled with the like the like the opportunity to make giant mistakes. Like, we didn't grow up thinking, I mean, you know, we didn't grow up thinking, like, if we don't get into college, we will be failures. Like, we won't, what will we do? Like, the idea of making mistakes was, like, part of your human existing, you know,

experience. And so it, you know, that's great. But then with that, you know, you'd go to a kid's house that had, like, parents that had nine to five jobs and, like, really nicely structured and, like, they sat down and ate every night. And you'd be like, this is, this is, this is weird. This is weird. This is cool. I like this. Did you feel like you were missing something by not having that? Not, no, not really. Not in the moment. Yeah, not in the moment. I mean, even now, it's hard to look back and say, oh, we missed out. on that. Yeah. I don't feel that we, we had such a loud, boisterous, big. Yeah, it was kind of all over the place. Yeah. Different places, different. Well, is there anything that you guys do differently now with your, like, or like, or consciously like, oh, I'm going to do this this way? I think Kate do. Yes. Probably more than I do. Yeah. Kate's way more structured. Her discipline matters

to her more than it does to me. You know, she's iron fisty. What? Iron Fisney. That does not sound cool. My kids, when they were a little bit younger, they're like, we don't want to go to anti-kids anymore. I was like, why? They're like, because she makes us take our shoes off at the door.

But yes, no, I, there are certain things. I think that I overcompensate with education a little. little bit because we weren't, you know, checked in on or there was no sort of discipline with it. Now, I make sure the kids are doing their homework. I, you know, I want them to have some work ethic. Mm-hmm. September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school, new projects or just a fresh season. It's the perfect time to start dreaming about your next adventure. I love that feeling of possibility, thinking about where to go next, what kind of place we'll stay in, and how to make it feel like home.

Yeah, Oliver and I just found out like we're talking on the phone the other day

and I was like, I am so ADHD. I'm like a walking ADHD TikTok. Like any, the other day I was walking around my house. I was supposed to leave like 15 minutes before I had everything in my hands and before you know it I have nothing I don't know where anything is

I can't find my keys I just had them I don't know where my phone is I'm walking in circles I'm like oh I'm one of those ADHD TikToks because I am deaf I am for sure and right before we talked

I literally Googled adult ADHD like how to diagnose because really I've had I never thought about it because I didn't really care, but now I'm realizing, man, do I have fucking ADHD? I think I've got some weird

shit, you know, and do I need a pill or do I just roll with it? No, but you absolutely do. You do. I mean, since I've been on this, honestly, I've been on this fucking cleanse and I've never felt, I've never had more energy. I've never felt more clear. And I will say that my focus has improved like tremendously. But my point is, is that in. My liver was really damaged. How did that happen? I don't know. With our family, like, we didn't think like that, you know?

The 80s, like, you're not, that's not, we didn't structure for chaotic minds. We just lived in this sort of fun, chaotic world. And then when it was time to really do your homework at last minute, you just had to do it. For me, with my son, I knew very early on that he had something similar to. to what my challenges were and was able to actually help him structure his brain so that now that he's in college, he has tools. Really? How did you do that? How did you do that? Well, I got him assessed because I could see that there was some stuff going on with just learning challenges and he'd be fine with me talking about this. But then we got him assessed and then we found out

like we could see what his spectrum was of his executive function and then his, you know, conceptual abilities, how, like he's brilliant. He would, he was testing it in the above 90s. Sometimes one of them was in like the hundred and something percentile was crazy in his, in his ability to, you can go over a hundred. No, he was in grade 17 of, of his, of, so he, where is he Wait a minute. So you can test 118 percentile? How's that possible? Oh, now see, now I'm going to do that. He tested 138 percentile. No, but, but so basically he was testing and then, and then his executive functioning was so low that he, that's how we found out that he was really like, exactly like, you know, textbook.

ADHD. Now there's just labels for everything. Like we were going through all of this. I'm sure when we were kids, now everything is labeled. So, you know. I know, but then I feel like that's problematic

because, I mean, some kids, it's like, I think it gives them a sense of identity. Mm-hmm. You know, like, oh, I have ADHD and I have dyslexia and, you know, all the stuff. But I also think sometimes it can

feel confining for kids. when you guys are talking about the sort of like freedom of your childhood but now realizing as adults like oh shit I have 88 I think I had that my whole life you know I don't know there's

it it's finding the right balance of I think I think that what is interesting about it is that where you would feel floating anxiety where you would have a certain thing that came with it that other people didn't

relate to that now the research is showing that people who do have certain things do have real ADHD. A lot of them are artists. A lot of them are very much more right-brained. And, and but, but they also with that comes a lot of anxieties or, you know, like panic attacks and depression. And yeah. And so with that you, at least now we can understand like it does create this idea that you're always having to keep up with everybody else. Yeah. And in an institution that is telling you to keep up and it's so hard does create overall anxiety that your brain actually attaches to as you get older.

Yeah. And you don't know where it's coming from. And in a lot of times just having the knowledge of like, oh, wait a minute. I've been like chasing things my whole life. Of course, I have a tendency. for anxiety. Or thinking I need to be a certain way. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So it's fascinating. You guys are literally talking about me. I know. That's what I was saying. Do you give a day? You need the workbook. I'm very sensitive. Very, very sensitive person. I know. I know.

Where do you think, where are you most concerned about how you are raising your child, meaning upon self-reflection? You know, is there, is you like, God, I, I don't know if I'm doing this right. I think I am, but I'm not sure. Is there anything specific, especially being a working person, someone who's away, someone who's making a living and following their dreams and doing what they love? Well, that's a really good question because I feel like it's just so across the board. You know, it becomes this all-encompassing like mom worry. But like the first thing that comes to my mind when you ask when I listen to you listen to the question is that um you know Yobi is adopted and black and sometimes I have I think an inherent like that's an inherent sort of

question mark for me like am I doing this right am I giving him what he needs around those things you know there is there's there's there's a mystery which i'm imagining for you guys as parents like you see yourselves and your kids so for me there is a mystery to that like yobi is a human being that i am truly getting to know like and i've known since he was eight months old but you know there's he's you know I don't know where he comes from and so I mean I know where he comes from but like that's it's there are things that he had you know like he has some learning differences as well and just navigating oh this is who you are this is what you need.

I don't have any clues. So interesting. I've never even thought about it that way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And as he gets older, you know, just everything keeps blossoming. Totally.

In a beautiful, amazing way. He's in the sweetest moment right now. Oh, my God. He's like the sweetest. Also, he's listening to Kendrick Lamar. I feel about being. and we're in the car driving to school and I'm like but it's like you know it I'm like he's so angry and I'm like you know every N word every other second and I just go like that I'm like and he just

looks at me and smiles you know but it's like he's just so I'm so into like discovering who he is Yeah, and that curiosity, I wonder if that curiosity is just going to keep growing about who am I, you know what I mean, where do I come from, you know, what makes me me, you know, as you get older. I'm sure that curiosity is only going to sort of build in him. Yeah, and trying to help him be comfortable with those questions, but also be comfortable with who he, what he knows. and who he is, you know, in the world. There's this great, I was listening, I was with Bing on the way to school. This was before Kendrick Lamar.

Because literally, we listened to this, and then he put on Kendrick Lamar. But before I listened to this Ram Dass thing, this, him speaking about I am, just being comfortable with I am. And I loved it. And it was such a good thing to play a budding teenager. to like really think like when all of those things become complicated what is it it's just to go it go deep and just be comfortable with i am right now right

where you are right now it was pretty cool i'm going to find that um okay we love you i know i love you we wish we could we got to hang we were we are going to hang let's make it let's make it happen um all three you're gonna we're gonna father my child while i'm out of him let me know look you'll you'll do well He's going to come back an amazing human being. He'll trust me, you know. He'll definitely come back fishing and knowing how to filet fish. That's for sure. Are you serious?

Yobi would, he would literally die to do that. Oh, yeah. He's got a boat. He wants to go fishing so bad. Babe, I just caught a 100 pound bluefin tuna right off of our coast on my boat. I have a boat. Yeah, babe. Well, if you don't take us out on your boat, then.
