Welcome to Casual Chaos, where I share my story.
This week, I'm sitting down with Vanderpump Rural Star, Sheena Shea.

There will be an occasional text, one way or the other, from me to Ariana.
Maybe a happy birthday from Ariana to me.
I think the last time I talked to Tom, it was like, congrats on America's Got Talent.

Hi, I'm Kate Hudson.
And my name is Oliver Hudson.
We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship.
And what it's like to be siblings.
We are a sibling rivalry.
No, no.
Never, don't do that with your mouth.
Sibling, revelry.
That's good.

And Mia, don't forget Mia.
And Mia Tyler, who, by the way, we didn't actually grow up with as much as we did live.
We were just met as adults.
Yeah.
And I think you're meeting her for the first time today.
I feel like I've met you before.
Birthday party.
Yeah.

Oh, stop.
Writer's first.
But it was a fleeting.
Yeah.
Was that in work?
Yeah, it was one of those.
Yeah.
It was 20 years ago.
Yeah.
It was like a chin-up thing.
Because.
Oh, I can see his face.
I know.
I have been told by multiple people for years that you and I should be friends.
Really?
Because we are similar in humor.
I like this.
Sibling-wise.
Yeah.
We relate more.
Yeah.
Not in like a,
just as like a friendship thing,
but like everybody's like,
you need to meet him.
I'm like,
all right.
So when I saw you at the birthday,
I was like,
yeah,
what's up?
And then it was so fleeting.
That was it.
So now here we are.
You guys,

Thank you so much.
You're here.
I can't believe it.
What are you like that didn't come from?
Yeah.
Oh.
It.
came from. So we, well, first of all, we have known each other since we were 16. Have I known you
longer than Kate? Yes. Yeah, because I met her, she was spooping Alex. Who's Alex? We don't
have to talk about Alex. Wait, who's Alex? There's no last name. Definitely. No, I know. Talking about
Alex. I love Alex. Wait, I know all your spoopees. I don't know Alex. I was 16. Oh.
I came to L.A. I was doing a movie staying with Susan and Peter, my godparents. Yeah.
And their daughter, Katie Hoffman.
was friends somehow.
So somehow we all went out one night, a whole group of us.
And over weeks, that somehow we ended up at your house.
Yeah.
At our parents' house.
I really remember.
I remember you so well.
I'll never forget it.
High school.
I love telling this story because I'm meeting Liv Tyler.
And for me, you know, a girl in high school, I was at maybe a ninth grade.
And it was like the live Tyler, you know.
It was like stealing beauty.
Was I?
You were a little bit older.
I'm older.
You're a little bit older.
You're a little bit older.
I think she's my age.
I remember.
Yeah.
How old are you?
I'm 77.
I'm 86.
I mean, no.
I am 76.
I mean, you're older.
Are you older?
Oh, my God.
And I'm 70.
I'm the oldest.
So, so, so I, so live walks in and she's in this tiny, like, adorable baby doll dress
with, I remember that.
converse or like converse shoes black and white and I'll never forget it because it was also after
you had done crazy the video so for me I was like oh my God what is she doing in our house
yeah we were all in high school we were all in high school yeah and then I was acting really
cool and then and then and that was it and then there was a remember your bedroom
I remember your bedroom.
And then you came into my bedroom.
I'll never forget.
I got like, holding court in your bed like you still do.
I can see you sitting there.
Oh, so cute.
And then I remember driving to breakfast.
We went to Patrick's Roadhouse, which is no longer there.
Did we sleep over at your house?
Did I sleep over?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But I blacked out that part.
There's all kinds of weird things.
Now at this point, I had, we were in, I forget what car we were in.
But I remember,
Oh, yes,
we went in your sob.
It was my sob.
You took me,
but just the two of us.
So this was a little bit older.
So this was like a little bit,
another visit.
And I'll never forget.
I had my sob and spoop.
Live was like,
you know,
let's go get breakfast.
I was like,
okay.
Yeah,
let's go get breakfast.
And,
and I was like,
we go to Patrick's Roadhouse.
And we got in the car
and Janie got a gun came on.
And you blasted it.
And I was like,
Like, this is weird.
This is so crazy.
It's like overboard coming on.
Everyone sit down.
Everyone watching overboard.
We're watching.
Which I saw the other day.
I did too.
Such a great movie.
Can I just say that's my favorite movie?
Your mom is my favorite movie.
We'll get back to your story.
Let me pitch.
Can I pitch you overboard in today's world to see if this would fly?
Okay.
Here's the overboard pitch.
We have a really rich woman who's on a yacht who comes into this little
harbor and this sort of carpenter guy she's a total bitch horrible thing she falls overboard now
she's brought in she has amnesia the carpenter who she's a dick to decides to kidnap her
because if you think about what he did yeah he kidnapped mother yeah that is what he does
but it's hilarious it's really fun i turned it on recently to the scene where she's sitting
and all the kids are around and they're kind of like and she's kind of trying to figure it out and
He's telling her the story of what happened.
Yeah, and he's like, and he's like, you know, try to figure out his name.
Try, try and he try.
And she's like, you've got to remember this one.
Roy.
Which is now mom's dog's name.
Yeah, now we have a dog name.
I still cry every time.
The music, I know.
The kids are banging on the window.
Oh, my God.
Oh, forget it.
With the necklace, mom's got the necklace on him.
Still.
I cry when it's over and he's like, what could I give you that you?
don't know what he has.
He's like,
a little girl.
You have it.
You have a little girl.
I'm that.
I'm that girl.
Anyway,
so I go.
Janie's got a gun.
We are driving down and I remember where we were right at La Mesa and, you know,
near Chautauqua and we were crossing.
And I remember it's one of those core memories.
I will never forget your exuberance, like your life.
force of like you know I just will never forget it oh yeah you were like who was the top down
the top was down but it was also that thing like we were so young and we were so ready to go we were
just like ready you know and you really wanted to be an actress at that time and I remember and your
mom wouldn't let you she wouldn't she was like you're finishing high school and you had your sob and
you could drive and I was in you were L.A. and I was in you were L.A. and I was
was in New York.
So it was so different.
And I'd already started working and I would have loved to have been in your shoes.
I'm kind of at home.
But how old were you when we were all hanging out even without Kate when you were dating?
16.
I guess.
That was 16.
No, you were older.
You were 17 and 18.
Was I still, we still in high school?
Totally still in high school.
Because when the Aerosmith video came out, I was so in high school that I would get up.
I was 15 when that came out.
So you're 18 months old.
okay so yeah yeah because it used to come on in the morning yeah no oh 19 you're 19 for that
I had done a cup like yeah yeah yes because I turned 18 when I did right so I was like 16 or 17
yeah I turned 18 that's on but when the video used to come on I used to get up my alarm would go off
like any other high school kid I would start getting ready and put MTV on and it was the morning
countdown. And when my
song came on, I would cringe
and run and get in the shower. And I knew
that I had like that amount of time, whatever,
five or six minutes to shower
and then come back out to see the video that
I wanted to see that I wasn't in.
But it was on the countdown
for that whole year, I feel like.
Oh, yeah. It was huge.
Was that your first gig?
No, my friend, James Mangold
discovered me. Oh, wow. I was in his
first movie called Heavy.
Oh, that's right.
The first movie I ever did was called Silent Fall.
I killed my...
Of course.
Silent Fall.
She was the killer.
With Bruce Bears for driving Miss Daisy.
Right.
Then I was like 13 or...
No, 15.
I don't know.
It's all a blur.
But spooops, that comes from that time.
We were in high school and for some reason, I don't know why.
You used to call me spooops, poops.
It came from Broiston.
Well, it was...
Well, that was later.
Chunks.
But it was...
how weird
there's a lot of nicknames
no we used to do this thing
where we would basically
like her dad
does this thing
he's always like
oh wow
like and
and it
yeah he's like
yeah
yeah
he's like a
like a bird of some kind
I don't know what happened
but we would be singing a song
I'd be like
there goes my
spoo baby
I'm not a pooby-doops
And I would just like
Start singing to her
Scubidding poops
Yeah scatting the poops
And I would just do the song like that
And then she just became poop
For me, like it was a shpoop
It was just all
It was poop and then it was spooop
But then we'll call each other
And be like, poopie
But then I call you sh poops
And you call me poopie
But it's not actually poop related
We do talk about poops
But you do
Yeah, I'm like, poop.
We call it a poop.
Yeah, it's an endearment.
Not pooping.
Poop-a-poop-a-poop.
Poop-a-pooh.
But you've always been,
shpoop-bitt-to-poop.
And then we sing songs.
Spoo-bidi-boop-poop-pooh.
Oh, I mean, even even Ronnie the other day was like.
Is that the rocky theme song that you're doing with poop?
We just leave each other voice notes, yes.
I have left that on her voice thing.
So many times.
And then Ronnie the other day, I was like, oh, Liv is coming and she's like,
and I was like, spooppy.
And she's like, oh.
She's like, the kids don't even know Liz by her name.
But we then, we then, after that, of course, you went to college and we thrived in our
professional life.
Where did you go to college?
Yeah, you went to college.
graduate from college?
No.
We just went a couple years.
We went into it.
We passed.
Then we were always together.
Right.
Like then like we went.
I remember.
Some reason I feel like I knew it lived before you.
I don't know why.
You did.
You did.
Yeah.
I came over to.
If it wasn't for me.
Then you guys wouldn't.
We wouldn't have had that connection.
So then I go to New York and we're obviously both working and we're going, we went to
a couple shows together.
We then had a mutual.
Well, Bestie and Stella McCartney.
And we were all so young and hanging out.
But then Shpoop and I had babies young.
Yeah.
So then our Milo.
You had Ryder when you were 23.
I had Ryder and then you had Milo and they were like six months apart or eight months apart or something.
Yeah.
And so us being the younger mommies.
We were so.
We would just, I know.
We'd hang out and she was married to chunks at the time.
I called him chunks.
which is a
because he wasn't chunky.
He wasn't chunky.
It wasn't like it was like
it was like
it was like he was so cute
it was like my
it was like
shooppy
chunky
like
what did you call
Chris?
Nicknames are so weird
Chris was just Chris
but then we went on tour
together
so then the space hall
and Oasis
and the
brotherly love tours
went on the brother
of love just
so we had like a very
connected
and total
it's so like romantic
reversal because you had your own bus so i was in space hog was the opening act then
oasis and black rose yeah it was a shared you know um but so i was in the bus with the whole
band with all of space hog and you and chris had your own bus and spooopee was just living the life like
so beautiful oh god on tour it was like this is what this is all about but it was penny lane into reality and
And then it's just carried over.
But you know what?
You know what the sucky thing is is you're coming to the end of your friendship.
And me and I, we're just starting.
Right.
So in 20 years, we're going to look back and do another podcast.
If you remember that?
I'll be like, hey.
Do you remember when we got our buses?
Shmoopy.
Yeah.
Right.
Crookie.
Cookie.
Cookie.
Cookie.
Cookie.
Yeah.
So here we are.
Now here we are.
Here we are.
Let's get into.
All we while I was.
of sibling revelry
Let's
That means to be a theme song
The Kings of Leon song
Ravelry?
Oh yeah, yeah.
I was saying this yesterday
That hello, we could re-record it.
Let's re-record it.
Sibling, what?
Sproopi and I always have a desire
to re-record songs.
We like alone.
I want us to be Anna Nancy Wilson
and I think we should do a movie
but I would have to transform myself a lot
that would be.
You would, but yeah, I mean,
but we, that would be.
And then we'd be competing for the best singing part.
But you'd be such a good Nancy.
Yeah, but I can do those high kicks with the guitar.
Maybe there's a movie here.
We've been talking about it for like 10 years.
We do.
Yeah.
And then I can sing the high.
I can sing that.
We can switch voices for just the recording.
I can do the Ann highs.
And you could do the.
Those videos were so good.
Oh, have you.
By the way, Marty Colner directed all of those videos.
Not a heart, but I'm just worried about the audience, that's all.
The people listening to this podcast.
I don't fall asleep.
I'm just worried.
September old 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.
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.

This individual might lose the faith.
But there's an institution that doesn't lose faith.
And that's what I believe in.
To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective.
There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other,

Okay, let's get into childhood.
Okay.
Let's first start with, are you full sister, siblings?
Half.
We're half, but we don't, none, all the siblings, my little brother and sister are full.
And then there's me and then her.
And then, but we don't say half.
Right.
Like, what is that?
No, we don't.
What do we say?
No, I just say.
I just say, no, I just say, I call you sister.
Brother.
You've been all my men.
So you have two blood?
You have two other blood?
Two.
There's, you know, different.
So there's three moms and one dad.
Got it.
Right.
Okay.
So Liv was first.
Me, Mia.
Love was first.
Chelsea and Touch.
Live was first, but we didn't know.
Yeah, it was the best art.
You did, right?
She was, I was, yeah.
Yeah.
We didn't know about me.
Who didn't?
We'll get to that.
Okay.
And then, so I, my parents were married.
So I was the, thought I was the first, but no, I'm not.
And then he remarried years later and had Taj and Chelsea.
Got it.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, so what, I know where you're going.
I'm very excited to tell the story because it's my favorite story.
It's really amazing, almost beautiful but traumatic, like, story because it's bizarre, you know.
But Liv, you were raised by your mom, baby Buell, your mom, BB Buell, your mom, Bibi Buell.
And Todd, right?
And Todd Rundgren, yeah.
Didn't know who your dad was until you were much older.
I think, like, eight, we were sort of seven, eight, nine-ish age.
I think you were 10 and I, yeah.
So, okay, so walk us through this a little bit.
Okay, so what the, fine, well, so the story goes that Todd and my mom were dating.
Todd Rudgren, amazing musician.
Incredible musician.
70s on and off, I don't know, traveling, all sorts of things going on.
Somehow, Liz Derringer, who was married to Rick Derringer, hang on, Slupy.
I went to high school with my dad with Stephen
and introduced my mom and Stephen
at Maxis Kansas City one night or something
and they made me
and I think he invited her on tour to Europe
after she was pregnant but yes
The first time they ever made the love
was in New York at Liz and
Is that where you were conceived?
I think so yes and I think I know the house
which is interesting.
That's a little side piecing.
That's amazing.
But basically, they had a love affair.
There's so many interpretations.
There's Todd's version.
There's Stevens version.
There's my mom's version.
And then my whole life,
I've been trying to put all the pieces together.
And it kind of occurred to me in my 30s
that it really didn't matter.
Yeah, I was just about to say that.
It's like everything in life.
We all have our own version.
And they were all beautiful.
And I've just kind of like fallen into.
the puzzle of it all and working on myself.
My interpretation is that they were together.
They didn't really know each other very well.
I appeared in the belly and I think my dad was pretty wild in those days.
He was extremely wild.
Definitely.
He was amazing has a tremendous amount of stamina.
He was like the most, he's a magical unicorn.
He was gorgeous and did a lot of.
And I think...
Well, this is also the story of why he has scarves on his microphone
is because he liked to hide his pills and whatnots.
Right.
So he could do them live on stage.
So that is a very true story.
I had no idea.
Yes, he would have little pockets sewn.
So he could be on stage and just take whatever it was that he was...
Smart.
Unbelievable.
So he was pretty wild.
Smart.
Yeah.
At that time, doing things that no mom to be.
as wild as your mom was too
like no mom wants that
that's interesting
I think she was just
she was 23 and pregnant
and she left Todd
but I think they were both
probably having affairs I don't actually know
she
I think got a little bit scared
when she realized how much
drugs my dad was doing
and I think as the
story goes she called Todd
and said she was pregnant
and he asked her to come home to where they
He lived in Woodstock in upstate New York.
And basically, he very courageously and lovingly said this child needs a father, and I will be the father.
Yeah, it was very cute.
So I was born and lived on.
I don't, this is where it all gets a little bit confusing because I think there was sort of an agreement that maybe I would never know.
Or maybe I would have to be 18.
But Todd knew for sure that it wasn't his.
I don't think to anyone.
And I was born with blue eyes, and my dad, Stephen, has very brown eyes.
And I have very blue eyes and Todd had blue eyes.
So I think maybe there was always a bit of a like who's.
But I didn't know any of this.
You came out literally like, go, go, go, go.
Oh, wow.
You're like, woo.
That's so funny.
I mean, it, and even like your baby pictures, I would think they would have to be
much of it is so interesting.
I would love to hear that from your mom.
I know, Todd.
And, I mean, you are, how far apart are you guys?
18 months.
18 months.
Tell us about her mother is major, by the way.
Yeah, so during this whole situation.
She's not with us anymore, but she.
Right.
Yeah, so I think after that he had met.
So my mom was married to David Johansson, who just passed away, Buster Pointexter.
Yeah.
And he was the story I was.
told was that he was a heroin dealer as well.
And David Johanson.
Yeah. And so he was selling heroin to Joe Perry and his then wife, Alyssa, who my mom became
best friends with because they would all party together. And David was doing lots of junk and
just not treating her so well. And then one day my mom was up in the management office,
David Krebs, Erasmiths manager's office. And my dad had on this cook.
which I just found and just gave to him.
It's like, you know, Joseph and the Technicolored Raincoat,
or whatever that is, but it's like patchwork, long,
and it was just like, he had long, girly hair,
and she was like, what is that?
And he saw her, and she was blonde.
She was like the Warhol chick at the time.
She looked like Mary.
She was in Gene Jeannie, the David Bowie.
She's major.
But she had red lips and bleach blonde hair,
and he was just like, what is this?
that and he was like she always said it he was like ow ow what is that and like how old that's the
name of this episode and that was the moment that she was no longer with david i guess mentally
right and it's funny because i have her journal oh wow after she died i got all her stuff and it's
like it's it's it's cf because she went by serenda fox and it was like cf with hearts plus
DJ
David Johansson and then
you see like all these like
you see a couple blank pages
and then you see
something's changed and there's like all
these flight things and it's
the flight out of
JFK where she was supposed to go
home to David Johansson in New York
but instead she flew to Texas
jam to be with my dad
and never came home
and then the journal after that is all
CF plus ST.
It's such a crazy history
thing to have.
And they were married.
They got married.
So they got married.
And they lived in New Hampshire
in September and I was born in December.
And how long were they together?
80, 10 years.
10 years married.
So all of your childhoods
are probably so different
because you're also
probably, although you might have
a similar relationship
to your dad, it probably was just completely different.
Well, we didn't meet each other.
We didn't meet until like around like eight and ten,
but we grew up the same way without knowing each other.
So I grew up in New Hampshire.
And I grew up in Maine.
And the same year we both were moved to New York City by our moms.
And we met.
Well, we met at a concert.
Yeah.
And we met at an airspace show.
How old were you?
You met?
I think she was eight and I was nine.
And there was no kids backstage.
And so her and I just played the whole time.
And I remember.
Not knowing you were sisters.
Hold on.
No.
I'm about to blow your mind.
I was about to blow your mind.
I remember because there was no kids backstage.
So her and I just played hard that night.
And we were at this VIP area like outside of the green rooms.
And we were just like, you know, doing our eight and nine-year-old thing.
And this fan lady came up and she was like, oh, my.
god you girls are so cute are you guys sisters and we were like you said yes and i was like yeah and we
pretended we were sisters but what she didn't know was that my mom had told me i'm gonna start crying
i wouldn't know that oh so that night we lived in maine so my mom couldn't really handle taking
care of me alone so i went to live with my grandmother and my aunt and my uncle and cousins in
Maine. So I was kind of, my mom was in and out. Oh, God, this gets so complicated. She told you
before? Before that show, she told, I didn't know that. I know. She told you that you had a sister.
So there's pieces in between. But Stephen went to rehab. He came out. Part of his 12 steps. He and
Teresa went together. He called my mom to make a mess. That was our stepmom. Yeah. That he was
after my mom. They started speaking again and arranged to meet in Boston at one of Todd's shows,
which was probably not, I think it was maybe my mom's way of thinking, oh, Stephen just showed up
and it was so fun, but it was very painful for Todd, that part, I think, because I met Stephen
that night. And then so this was, throughout the course of that year, he was around more. I had no
idea who he was other than I just thought he was fabulous.
And so that particular night that she's talking about guns and roses were opening for
Aerosmith.
It was the beginning of their welcome to the jungle, like incredible moment.
And we drove the gig, I remember this, which is sort of at a place called Great Woods,
which I don't know.
I can't even imagine.
It makes me emotional.
There's so many levels to this story, too.
I could get so emotional right now.
So we, oh, space.
Oops, don't make me come over there and hug you.
I need to get emotional somehow.
I just know this story.
Just always or something.
No, let's talk about the father.
Anyway, keep going.
So we, my mom was like, we're going to this show.
We drove from Portland, Maine, where we lived, to Great Woods, which is in New England somewhere.
And it was an outdoor, sort of those little outdoor amphitheater venues.
And we were a little bit late.
So normally we would have just gone backstage.
or whatever with friends and for some so we got tickets and we went to the audience and we were
standing in the you know somewhere and um guns and roses was playing and I was so excited because
I just like loved guns and roses and um on the side of the stage was this one because
Standing there.
Axel used to dedicate Sweet Child of Mine to me, like, every tour.
And he'd, like, bring me out on stage and be like, this is dedicated to you.
And I'd be like, I just remember standing there, watching them play, looking and seeing this girl who looked exactly like me.
Like, we literally had the same outfit on.
Oh, my God.
We had both had perms, like spiral perms, pink frosty lips.
We were both wearing an Aerosmith concert t-shirt with black leggings and Reebok high-top sneakers.
I looked and I was like, wait, that's me.
It was really weird.
I was literally like looking in the mirror, seeing your double.
I looked at my mom and I was like, Mom.
And she just started crying.
My mom just like bald.
And I was like, is Stephen my dad?
and she just like bursted she was just like good and then she took me to a bench and we sat on a bench at
this like outdoor amphitheater and she told me the whole story in the most sincere beautiful way
like within the most loving like loving version about todd loving version about stephen loving version
about the family that had supported us through it all and I just was there with it then we
went backstage after the show and then there was Mia we met for the first time and I remember
someone asking if we were sisters and I didn't but we but we didn't know but then that night so I went
home that night so I took a car my like they just sent a car to bring me and take me back so
I remember getting home and it was really late and I just remember coming back and I was like I met
this girl and she was so great blah blah and her mom be me and she was like what was her name and she was
like, and I was like, her name, her name was
live, and she was like, no, it's not.
Her name's Amy. And I was like,
what are you talking about? She goes, and that's your sister.
There's another sister? Yeah, she goes,
she goes, her mom's
name was Beebe, and then her name's
Amy, and I was like, no, it was live.
And she's like, that's your sister. And that's
how I found out. And just in
this moment, and then I just had to, like, go back into my
room and put Nick at night on and just go back
to sleep, like, but then
like two years later,
I still have, you know, you know, it's
funny i don't know the timeline but i still have you started sending me postcards and like and i
just found one recently and it was just like you know we're like 11 years old and you're just like
and then we met up in new york at liz derringer's house who had entered the one that from oh my gosh
and i will never forget we were sitting playing and my mom and liz and her mother surrender
were sitting and they were you know like talking and then they looked at us
and said like, okay, it's okay, you can talk about it now.
No, that is not what happened.
That's what I remember.
And then we hugged and then we went to lunch.
We have this all the time.
No, it was siblings.
There's always different.
I remember because she was older and not all the time.
She was older, so I thought, you know, I was like, oh, she's so cool.
But I had already known.
I knew that she was my sister, but I didn't think she knew.
And we both knew, but didn't know the other knew.
But my mom started letting me go out with you and Beebe, and we would walk around.
And I remember this because your mom would always be like,
if you want to have a tight butt, you've got to squeeze your butt as you walk.
And, like, 13 squeeze my butt around New York City.
And then we went back to your apartment.
Yeah.
I think it was like on 18th Street or something.
I don't remember where it was.
And my mom had to come pick us up.
My mom had to come pick me up.
And I just remember, like, the whole day I was like,
I remember even just being on like 14th Street walking and wanting to blurt it out.
And I had to really like bite my tongue.
And so we went back to.
your house and we were I was in your room by myself my mom had showed up and you were in the living
room with them and that's when they said okay you guys can talk about it and you came flying into
the you came flying into the room and you were like you know and I was like you know and
then we just sat there and hugged and then we've been sisters ever since yeah you thought this
I was talking about like people were falling asleep.
I was just getting everyone.
Man, that's amazing.
That always chokes me up.
They're like, you know, and like, it was just, we just sat, I think we sat there and cried.
And like, and then we had so much stuff in common, though.
Hugging each other with our perm.
And pink frosty lipstick.
You can't tell the difference.
I'll try and find it.
September always feels like the start of something new, whether it's back to school.
new projects are 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.

Sensation that I had to call it right then
And I just hit call said you know hey I'm Jacob Schick

listen to a condescending finance bro? Tell you how to manage your money again. Welcome to Brown
ambition. This is the hard part when you pay.
down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit
or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now. When you do
feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt
consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for
some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am
not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see
How in just a few months, you can have this much credit card debt when it weighs on you.
It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand.
It's nice and dark in the sand.
Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it.
And in fact, it may get even worse.

But when did you get introduced to your father as your podcast?
father. I mean, the recognition happened
there. Your mom said... Sort of similarly
like, oh, that way, that I was
like allowed to talk about it?
When he's like, you and you're side
stage and you're like, is that my dad?
And she's like, basically, yeah.
I didn't know. I wouldn't have talked about it
with him that night. Did he know, though? He know that you
were his? He did know, yeah. Okay. I think
that I think that
even after I was born, they
saw each other, which probably
gets into tricky territory because you
would have, well, I don't know. That's okay. I
I just remember my mom with Teresa.
Little snippet.
Oh, dad.
And that's sweet, beautiful Todd and my mom weren't together.
I think they tried to be together for about two weeks, and that didn't go well.
But did you think Todd was your father?
Yes, I was raised.
Okay.
Yeah, because you were Liv Rundgren for a long time.
That's how I met you was Liv Rundgren.
And was that so hard for him?
I think so hard.
Yeah.
I think it's probably still.
very hard and painful and I don't speak to him enough I love him and I have brothers from him and I
had a whole family with them but there was so I was a kid so it was really hard because he was
mad at my mom and then suddenly Stephen was there and we did a paternity test and it was positive
and so we moved to New York I think I was 11 or 12 like I remember getting my period that summer
and like moving to New York.
I remember the attorney tested.
You were a little bit older because I was like, why are they doing that?
Like, it's obvious.
We all know.
But then that wasn't until after that that we were allowed to discuss it.
So I knew that I think I knew, but it wasn't until after we, I remember being in New York,
very close to where all my children were born having the blood test and it being positive.
And then seeing Stephen and my mom, I saw seeing each other together.
during that time like now are those memories like obviously you know you have different perceptions of little those little sort of moments but like does it feel like that was the beginning of your childhood almost or do you still have memories of being younger and just with your mom and todd they weren't together my mom and todd yeah he he they didn't make it together oh okay that's what he took he took care of me as
like he was dad who he was always on tour too and traveling he had another partner and two boys um so i would
go and visit them and go on trips with them but i lived i lived in maine i lived in maine with my
uncle my mom and sometimes with my grandma i was kind of raised by a little mix of push poopie
what was your feeling like did you feel like you were betrayed that time or did you feel just an
excitement that you actually felt like now you knew what your life really was. Like what was the
honestly I felt it was quite like sort of mature. It was very weird. I felt so much love and so much
I think because I had already lived with Annie and Teddy and my my family in Maine. I'd already
lived with my grandmother. I'd already lived with my mom. I was kind of used to I was I'm such a
cancer crab. I'm very adaptable. I was able to, like, soak up the love that I could. And everybody
was so different. So I remember the, the, the, the Tyler, well, you know, our real last name's
Tolarico. So the Tolar Rico. We're Calabrian. Yeah. Our little clan of Tolarikos. We're very, like,
my dad's size, very Italian, very eclectic, very, like, gypsy, like,
gnome you know like all the trees have faces in them at our house but like there was just like
this weird like not weird but like eclectic gypsy vibe and that's why like we were always like
gypsy you know but like so did you did you feel like once you like realized all of us
were your family that you felt like oh right i belong here like because you're very much
Gypsy Tala Rico, even though that's not your
last name, but like...
Gypsy Tala
you're very much.
That's my new stage, man.
That is great.
Gypsy Tala
is so good.
I'm going to start checking into everything.
You're like, Chipsy Tala is so good.
The queen of...
It was like layers.
The first wave was shock.
After that concert, we went home and I,
mom had a chaise, mange in front of a window.
And I remember sitting there
for what felt like three days,
but it was probably three hours.
Right.
And just basically coming to this conclusion at the end of like,
wow,
I have two dads and all this love.
And like maybe there'll be two Christmases.
I just was really excited about it because they're all so different and so lovely.
But was there a point where as you get older,
we're like, okay, now I think I need therapy.
So much.
I've always been in therapy.
We've all been in therapy.
We all have.
every one of us, but I'm saying there is that moment where it's like, oh, and then you get older, you mature, and things start to happen.
Your life starts to formulate, and then you're like, wait, I need to deal with this shit.
I think I've always been dealing with it.
But for me, I'm like, well, it's also just part of our job as actors, right?
Like I started acting at 13 or 14.
It's like the first thing you're doing is looking at the text and like, well, what do you really mean?
about that and what's going underneath that and having to dig into those places of your childhood
and other experiences that human behavior is at the core of what you do we do how did you feel that
i always think more about what that must have felt like for you because it was like well i had
always wanted i grew up an only child at first because my little sister wasn't uh born until i was nine
so i had wanted siblings i just i wanted siblings i would i would sit there and like i i
I would just squeeze my body as hard as I could,
thinking that that was, like, breaching whatever would bring me siblings.
Wow.
And I would just like, ugh, and pray for that.
And then so I knew all the such good.
You squeeze so hard.
I had a little sister and an older sister.
I had both, a little sister and an older sister.
And it was, it was Chelsea's so fabulous, too.
I call her and Tage Cheech and Chong.
because they were so, but she's a mom with kids now and so, but I still call her Cheech,
but she is so fabulous.
So I was just excited to have siblings, like, well, I was just all of a sudden a middle child
and it was great.
Once you guys met, though, you know, how did that relationship sort of continue?
You were both in, were you both in New York?
I moved to New York for sixth grade and you were in seventh or eighth grade.
We lived such different lives.
Her mom moved to the Upper East Side.
Serendo was fabulous.
My mom was like Lower East Side Queen,
but she had this big dream of being,
she wanted to be this, you know,
wrapped in furs walking around the Upper East Side.
Very sophisticated.
So she dragged us up to 82nd in Madison.
And she was really mad at our,
Serendo was very mad at Stephen.
She was very, yes.
Because he had kind of left her in New Hampshire.
He had taken her from her life in New York
and then had a baby
and then kind of like left her
sorry dad
in San of New Hampshire
alone with Mia without family
or money or anything
whereas like I had grandmother
on uncle and a lot of supports
Mia you were alone a lot with your mom
oh God and no no money
yeah because he was a heroin addict at the time that
I think everybody always thinks that too
like we grew up so rich and I was like
I mean I was a toys for tots kid
for most of my childhood getting
like the local motorcycle crew would come and bring me like used toys for Christmas.
And is this at the height of Aerosmith?
Yeah.
Well, there were so many different periods, right?
Because there was like the 70s time.
Yeah.
Then there was like Skid Row time.
Right.
They lost everything.
And then I think it was the 90s when it was like sort of the videos that I was in and stuff.
Uncle Mark.
So that's the whole other living on the edge.
All those songs.
Our Uncle Mark Hudson wrote with your, yep, with the, right.
Which is so cute.
I know.
That's so great.
They did, and he wrote pink.
I was on pink.
I was on pink.
I sang on pink.
You did?
Yeah, Uncle, I think Uncle Marks were writer on that one.
Yeah, what did he wrote at Uncle Mark?
Living on the edge.
He did?
By the way, listen to living on the edge.
Drive home and listen.
Listen to the words.
It's so right now.
It's so, you're like,
wait, this needs to come out.
Right.
Well, they were recording up in the hills.
They were recording up in the hills and the L.A. riots started.
So they were watching the L.A. riots and that's where those lyrics came from.
Oh, wow.
And that's why it's called Living on the Edge because they were on the edge of
92, 92.
L.A.
Yeah.
Watching.
It burns.
All of that happened.
Wow.
But how did your relationship progress?
Two different moms.
You know, you guys were, you found your sisterhood.
You're essentially in love and it's like, okay, well, or not.
Well, because of the relationship.
In our age difference, too, and I was like, oh, I want to know my dad, we would go visit
and she would hang out with Chelsea and Taj, and they were like a little bit younger and
play, and then I was just that little bit older in through a period that I would just
wanted to hang out with my dad.
So I'd stay up all night in his dressing room talking to him for hours.
The truth of that is, and I don't care whose feelings I heard by saying this, is that our stepmom
was very territorial with our little brother.
and sister and dad and so any slight thing that would take him away from her and her family
she would kind of push us out and so I was like I was worried and I'm being honest I don't think I've
ever told you this I was worried because you came in and you just wanted to be around dad and like
of course what child wouldn't and she was a little bit more of a teenager I was like becoming a woman
yeah so I was like yeah what I didn't I didn't want to like build a horror but I was
I was like, whoa, I'm going to go into my dad's, like, dressing room.
He'd just tell stories and we'd try things on.
And I was like, it was just a, we were that, that 18 months.
I was afraid of that she was going to push us out.
So I was like, I started acting like, I don't care about dad because I really didn't.
I wanted, like, my little sister's, she's my best friend.
And the minute she was born, I was like, hooray.
Like, I remember the day she was born and, like, pacing around the house when they were going to bring her home.
Because, like, I was just like, I have a best friend.
but I was so afraid that
Teresa was going to push us away
because you were trying to get to dad
so that I started ignoring him
and I would go beeline it for the little brother and sister
It's so interesting because it worked out
because she got to spend all the time with him
and then it wasn't threatening to Teresa
because I was with the kids
But the dynamic is fascinating
because it's three different moms
but you're the middle child.
each other.
But you're still the middle child.
Oh, yeah.
And what you're explaining is like pure, feels like total middle child feeling of like.
We are very much like she's definitely like the adult.
Yeah.
Even though she came in later, she still has always stepped up and been like the leader for everything.
The mom.
Just because I went first with everything, babies first house first.
So Chelsea and I technically are the middle children.
And then there's our little brother.
who's just the only boy and who is just spoiled rotten touch.
But he is the opposite of Gypsy Tala Rico.
He's a construction worker and he's married with two kids and lives in the woods and goes hunting.
He wants nothing to do with L.A. or anything.
This is a really interesting point about all of us.
We all, even though Stephen Tyler is our dad and the story that the press always tells in every article ever is that like we grew up on tour and this wild crazy.
I grew up in Maine with my family.
She grew up in New Hampshire,
and Chelsea and Taj grew up in Marshfield, Massachusetts.
So we all grew up in this.
Nowhere near Hollywood.
I don't think I came to L.A.
until I probably around meeting you.
Then we were in New York a little bit.
But it's very interesting because it's a through line for us
in the way we are as parents and the way we raise our kids.
Yeah.
Like I live in the mountains in the middle of nowhere
and I'm raising my kids so out of all of that.
Mia always has been very much not a part of the entertainment industry.
Very much far away from him.
And Chelsea and Tage are doing the same.
Yeah, they live in the woods in Massachusetts.

Artists and activists, I mean, do you ever feel demoralized?
I might personally lose hope. This individual might lose the faith, but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith.
And that's what I believe in.
To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective.

the fact that your dad is who he is at what point did that sort of come into play with you guys as adults as teenagers you know what I mean was it well it was more for you because you were being an entertainer and you were you wanted that world I wanted nothing to do it my mom was trying to force me to be an actress I had to do like auditions and stuff and I hated it me too I didn't I didn't want anything to do that did you embrace who your father was or did you want to sort of you know do your own shit like I moved I moved to do
New York that summer. I was 12. I loved the freedom of walking around New York, but I was
looked like such a woman. I was just a little girl, but I was this tall and this weight and high.
I was like, but then I started my, I think, uh, my story is that Paul, my mom was very close to
Rico Kasik from the cars and Paulina Poroskova, his wife. And actually, they took pictures of me.
And that sort of started my modeling career.
was that Paulina took...
Were they on the beach or something?
Some of them were.
They were really pretty.
I remember those.
Because I don't know why we had copies of those.
There was like one on the fridge.
It was like this like...
But I was on the beach.
So I started modeling.
I was in high school.
And I got asked to go on a couple of auditions,
which I was terrified to do because, as you know,
I'm outrageously shy.
And...
But it was just...
So that was a strange thing,
because it was definitely something
my mom, not pushed me into, she just was like, you're doing this.
And I was terrified, but I did.
And then I got, no, mom, no.
Exactly.
Apparently, which is so funny because she used to always say.
She used to always say when I was little that I was going to be an actress when I grew up.
And I didn't know what she was talking about.
But like you, I was always singing, always singing around the house.
house in the back of the car, just with like every ounce of my heart.
You also wanted to be a kid, though, because I remember, like, your mom pushing you to do
auditions and stuff, and you, like, weren't allowed to eat cookies and stuff.
And then we would go, because back then in the 90s, you could just run around New York City
being little girls and with no parents.
And so we would go to the store.
We'd have, like, no, before that, before that, before that.
40s and 40s is a fucking blunts.
That's what he used to do at 16.
Oh, my God.
But I'm talking about before that.
Before that, when we were like,
nine and we would get like five bucks each and we would go to the store.
Remember that time?
Five bucks?
We'd find like a stoop and we would buy like four bags of chips and some like.
Oh yeah, I wasn't allowed to eat junk food at home.
And we would sit and eat.
I got a kudos bar in my lunchbox.
So when I would go over to friends,
I would be like, oh my God, kudos bar.
Okay, so I would go over to a friend's house and be like, what's that?
Well, I just remember, I just remember Liv coming into my life and thinking why she's a year younger,
but she is so much older than me.
It felt like, you know, I was very sophisticated and, you know, I was like, wow.
I'm sophisticated.
Well, you're still like this older woman, even though you were younger.
It was not New York.
It was in New York.
I think you might have been rolling blunts, and I was like, damn, she's rolling blunts, and she's like, boom, puffing.
I'm like, whoa.
Who is this?
I feel like it's like,
I never smoked pot by the way now at all,
which is I never smoke now.
I feel like that everyone knows like your dad, obviously.
But then when you really think about your guys' moms,
you know,
when you think about the life they had, both of them,
I remember one of the first times I met Beebe was we were out about New York
and we were super young.
I think even like 20, I think I was like 20, you know,
I don't even think I was 21 yet.
Before Chris.
And she had a young boyfriend.
I don't know if it's still who she's with.
No.
Was it coyote?
Her husband?
It was her husband.
He was dyed hair, died black hair.
Musician guy.
And then we went to this like club.
Was he playing?
And she was on stage singing.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
My mom, by the way, was in the most incredible band.
Growing up in Portland, Maine, my mom was in the best band called The Gargoyles.
But she had talk about presence.
Like, Bibi was like, I mean, a star in her own, you know,
and the way she saw herself, too, even as much as, you know,
she just is full of life, feels like, like.
So you had both of your parents.
even though your mom isn't as well known.
But that made me very shy.
Not yet.
You wouldn't call me shy.
No, but reserved.
Yeah, it's like if I'm at home with you,
I think that's, it's like I can be.
But I tend to on that step,
I think they're behaviors or.
They're just like tab dancing wild energy.
That's what Liv.
Like, Liv was probably like grew up like going like,
okay, okay.
Like, you know, it was just like,
Constantly. And then I had my grandmother, who's etiquette, like, had worked in Washington
and the government and was, like, focusing on teaching etiquette still to the day. She's 95. I was
just with her all last week. And my family in Maine, I had, like, a lot of different. But your
creative side, like your mom and dad and that sort of creative energy is so intense. And I just think
it's amazing that you came out of that as, as centered as you are. Like I always say,
you know, that's a recipe for like a wild child. Yeah. And you just were the opposite.
I think it's, I think it's my grandmother, my auntie, my, and I know so weird to talk about
astrology and stuff like that, but I'm so cancerian. I'm a double cancer and my other thing is
in Capricorn. I'm like a cancer with cancer.
cancerizing and cancer it's a full moon you have to do her she does the best full moon ceremonies
ever but i very much okay i um we can do one you want to do one it i don't want to do a full month i'm a
virgo virgoes don't do full moon full moon sir what are you talking about vergos are the most like moon
vergos i was actually born on a full moon my son was born on a full moon what really do you okay so
when the full moon comes a couple days before and after
Are you just bonkers?
I don't know.
I feel like I'm bonkers all the time.
You're actually quiet right now,
which makes me think you're thinking about something else.
No, no, I'm listening.
Because usually our podcasts are,
it's a lot of energy and it's funny in this,
but hearing these stories is just so amazing.
And I've known you for so long.
And, of course, you transitively, you know,
but it's just, it's interesting.
Isn't it amazing?
Well, I was going to say,
then your mom,
you know also pretty wild she she was more reserved though she was more like you she was very
like kind of shy and prude and just kind of like no i don't mean that you're prude but she was just
very like that's offensive reserve it is not prude i think she was intimidated by your mom because
your mom was loud and big and like she just was very shy like i heard stories from dad and mom that
dad was so he wanted her so bad and she
She was like, no, no, no, no.
And that he would come to her hotel room door and just scratch on the door.
And then finally one day she just opened the door.
And she's like, you can come in, but the door is staying open.
And then, you know.
And then I was conceived, you know, in Hawaii a couple months later.
So that's how it started.
He would just scratch.
And she was just like, no, no, no.
But she was just very, like, reserved.
But she was like, she looked like Marilyn Monroe.
She was beautiful.
blonde hair, red lips, and she knew
Iggy Pop and David Bowie.
She was in Warhol movie.
What was it like growing up like that for you,
Mia?
Meaning, you know, was there recognition
that this is who your parents were?
How was school were people like
all over your ass because of who your parents were?
I was more funny about it
because I just was like, everybody,
like somebody would come up to me like,
oh my God, who's your dad?
And then I would like, I would do one of two things.
I would be like, Bon Jovi
just to throw them off or I'd be like, oh, my dad
died, you know, and I would just fuck with people.
Because I was just so annoyed by the whole thing.
And so I just kind of played and had fun with it.
And I just really, I mean, I didn't want to go by Tyler.
I was actually sat down by him and said, don't go by Tolerico because we don't want
everybody to know that's our last name.
Now everybody knows.
But it's, you know, back before the internet, you know, he really thought that that was like.
Just from mystique standpoint.
Don't let anybody know.
Because people change their names because they were like too long or stage names.
Yeah, just a normal sort of thing.
But I didn't care. I didn't want anything to do with it.
I mean, I wanted to be a singer, but then dad shot that down.
He was like, don't do that.
And I was like, mm-hmm.
And when we moved to New York, we had such, her mom moved to the Upper East Side,
and she went to Merrimount, and we moved to the Lower East Side.
Oh, girl Catholic school.
She was in a uniform.
I actually did go to the, I was very dyslexic and ADHD.
So I went to York prep, which they called Dork Prep at the time.
It was actually a fabulous school.
cool. But I lived on the Lower East Side. So my mom was in like her punk bands and we had very
different. My mom was wearing like fur coats and fur hats walking around, which I still have
her fur coats. I don't know what to do with them. But just walking around Madison Avenue and just
with her little Yorkie that she would walk and it was like and I was like miserable. I cannot wait to
get out of here. Get me out of here. I hated it. Oh, that's so funny. It was like you just
from a macro standpoint, hearing it all,
just feels so sexy.
Oh.
You know what I mean?
But of course, there's a tumult.
It's tumultuous and it's fucked up.
But it just feels sexy, almost like the mafia in a sense.
You know, it's hard, but it's just...
Well, for me, when it got really,
could have been weird for me as a teenager,
I started acting, and that really saved my life.
Because, yeah, and I got to work with these incredible filmmakers.
Like, I graduated.
from high school and left the next day to Rome to work with Bertolucci on Stealing Beauty.
But it was so cool because my mom, I was a tough cookie, even though I'm shy. She had really
like armed me with the ability to suss out a situation and protect myself. So I always felt
kind of safe. I had that little New York. But I was in some pretty weird situations.
But I got to go and work with Jeremy Irons and all these amazing actors. And I was so,
On Dr. T and the Women when I was 19.
Oh, that's right.
And then we ran away together.
Where?
In the movie.
Oh, not in real life.
No, in Kateski, where was sure?
Our friend that's here was with us.
And we got to, yeah, we got to, in the movie, we were like lovers.
It's so funny.
She's always like, why didn't we really kiss?
We didn't even, like, we were sitting on this bench and we had to make out and we, like, touched.
We didn't really make out.
We should have, like, actually really made out.
Well, you weren't, you weren't comfortable with your femininity at that.
point in you know I just feel like it wasn't you were Kate wasn't yes oh my masculinity
all the more reason why I should have gone in for the kill I I know it was really funny like
looking back at it is sort of like that was such a wimpy kiss like we should have actually
really like quite a sweet movie it was very sweet it would have been too if you were like tonging
like porno tongue it was yeah it was a sweet and we were a sweet and we were
were like besties, so it was just sort of like the whole thing.
Oh, and Claire Bo was on the movie.
Remember Claire? My little Paranian.
Claire Spoops.
Yeah, Claire Shooop.
Everything is a spooop.
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.
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.

Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro?
Tell you how to manage your money again.
Welcome to Brown Ambition.
This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards.
If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now.
You do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates.
I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union,
shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees
and be more affordable.
Listen, I am not here to judge.
It is so expensive in these streets.
I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt and it weighs on you.
It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand.
It's nice and dark in the sand.
Even if it's scary, it's not going to.
go away just because you're avoiding it, and in fact, it may get even worse.
For more judgment-free money advice, listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeart Radio app, Apple

Hi, I'm Janica Lopez, and in the new season of the Overcomfit podcast, I'm taking you
on an exciting journey of self-reflection.
Am I ready to enter this new part of my life?
Like, am I ready to be in a relationship?
Am I ready to have kids and to really just devote myself and my time?
I wanted to be successful on my own, not just because of,
who my mom is.
Like, I felt like I needed to be better or work twice as hard as she did.
Join me for conversations about healing and growth.
Life is freaking hard.
And growth doesn't happen in comfort.
It happened in motion, even when you're hurting.
All from one of my favorite spaces, The Kitchen.
Honestly, these are going to come out so freaking amazing.
Be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the Overcomfit podcast
as part of the MyCultura podcast network.
on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcast.
I could talk about this forever.
Mia, what are you doing now?
Like, are you, I know you're a mom, mom.
I am such a good mom.
And, but you're so creative.
Like, so what do you do for that as an outlet?
You know, I don't.
Okay.
It's one of those things where I'm at in my mom.
Journey. So I had a son. He's seven. And my boyfriend and I now, I was telling you guys before a little bit, his mother had custody of her great-grandson, who's five, and she passed away in October. So we got him in the will. He was bequeathed to my boyfriend Dewey. And so we have now, since October,
been on and off parenting him, but we since January are full on parents now to him.
Unbelievable.
So my boyfriend went from being like single guy living, but I've known him for 17 years,
so we've been friends for a long time, but he was single guy living by himself to a year
later living with me and my son and we have a five-year-old now.
And so I was just at that point with a seven-year-old where I was having freedom.
He could go wake up in the morning and go watch TV and make.
his own cereal we get to sleep in and so now we're right back at five so we are right back in
taking care of so you are doing the hardest and best job in the world which is mom and you know what
I love it when they're gone I'm like miserable I'm like where are they but I crave them to go but
then the minute they're gone I'm like yeah oh but yeah I'm just full time bye that's it
later but were you where you've already decided that when those boys turn 18 we're
We are getting a tour bus, and we are going to go drive around the country and just be old and be that couple that's in a tour bus living life.
But, yeah, I don't have any outlets.
I always love being on the bus.
Yeah.
I love being on.
That's sad.
I'm happy doing that too.
But I'm in that phase right now where I have zero outlets for myself, and it's okay.
I've, I'm 46 and I realize now that life is about, you know, we always want to partner like, this is my equal.
but it's not about being equal
it's about being able to carry
the weight so like right now
my partner isn't available
mentally because he lost his mom
and he's going through a lot of stuff
so I told him recently I said if you don't have
anything to give right now that's fine
I will carry 100% right now because I'm
really good at that like
my love language is giving and I'm like
sprinkling it to the boys so
but he's also he's good at balancing
do you let him give to you
so right now he can't and we've had that discussion and I said it's perfectly fine right now
that I'm carrying things because he's he's starting to come back around do you mean just emotionally
emotionally yeah and just kind of I mean he's definitely there to help take care of the kids with me but
emotionally yeah so I think it's important that people understand that it's not about being 50 50 it's
like some days if you can be 100% and the other person's zero and being okay with that and discussing that
So that's, right now, that's where I'm at.
That's so amazing.
That's actually really hard for people to do.
I don't think I've ever been able to do that.
I think you have to be really communicative to express that, hey, I'm about 65 right now.
You know what I mean?
I need this.
But the secret there is having a good partner because I have had shit partners in the past.
And you have a great partner.
I didn't care about myself until I had my son.
And now my standards are like, and so my boyfriend now, he's a great man.
I know that he can handle things when the,
the table's turn. That's so great. I think that way about relationships all the time,
it's like the give and take, but also really what I'm hearing you say is like everyone's life
experience is their own. We choose to be with our partner and we create this unit, but there's
sort of this expectation that because you're in a unit that means your life doesn't really
exist outside of that unit, when it's so important to give people the free.
to have their own life experience
like a totally independent one of
their partner. And figuring that out
as a family is
challenging. But you know what?
It's like when you do
a puzzle and you get to the like
you know the end or you really figure it out
and you're like oh my God this is great. Like I love
being in this chaos right now.
It makes me feel like a really good mom
because I love being a mom.
Like my whole life everybody used to call me
Mama Mia and I hated it and then once
I finally was Mama Mia I was like
Fuck, yeah, I am.
And I just, I love it.
So I feel like I'm in this little puzzle right now and I'm like holding everybody together and
I'm really loving it.
It's stressful.
I have to fly to Mississippi tomorrow with two boys with a layover.
Yeah.
And because I have to fly with both of them, we have to fly, you know, Southwest coach,
which maybe that's on snobby, but like I like to fly in first class.
But so, like, you know, I'm going on Southwest because we can all sit together in a row.
And like, we have a layover because there's no direct flights to Mississippi.
So pray for me tomorrow.
But, like, I just, I'm looking forward to that kind of stuff.
No, of course, here's the thing.
No matter how, if it's, if it's an easy trip or if it's, you just fucking do it.
Yeah.
Like, that's the thing.
Yeah.
You just do it and you, you get through it.
Yeah.
You just do.
So when I land tomorrow at 9.30, I'm going to feel like exhausted, but I'm going to be like, you know, yeah.
So what now that you, I mean, we only touched on the.
surface i'd love to get into like all the other year the you know the rest of it but let's talk about
our white female women adults so yeah but i always talk about our childhood i i yeah who are you now
well that's what i was going to say like who are you like how you look back and you reflect on like
what you came from how you grew up the the sort of like wild tapestry that you both came from
Oh, I like that, Shpoop.
Wild tapestry.
That's the name of her new album.
I love it.
It's so wild that.
Wild tapestry and gypsy tally-tolerico.
It's all caro-king songs.
Like, from back to front.
So, but, but like, what, you know,
what would you say that you took from your life
that you still want to give your kids some of?
And what is it, or not?
Or what is it that, like, you think is so different from
how you grew up. I'm going to speak for all of us, but I shouldn't, but I would, I observe as the
alpha pub. The elder. We all saw our parents like really busy working and like potentially
career was always sort of first. It was like there was just certain things that had to be
accepted and maybe parenting not always first. And I would say that all four of us, Sibs,
we've really prioritized parenting over anything
at the detriment of relationships.
Relationships, career, whatever.
So where we all four have children now, two, I have three.
Milo's 20.
Sailor, Elisium Ryder.
I can believe it.
So that was like our, I would say it's been something for all of us
to reparent ourselves through having our children and potentially healing some of those wounds
while celebrating the beautiful tapestry, as you say, of what we came from.
And that's for sure been my journey of, and throughout, I've had sort of two, I had Milo first
just for 10 years.
And then I had a whole other family with Sailor and Lula who are 8 and 10 now.
so yeah it's an interesting thing and now I'm starting a business and trying to figure out how I can be home with them and not be on set and away and traveling but fulfilling my dreams and goals and stuff like them I've got nice taste I've got all the samples I love it I'm so excited but it's so fun to allow yourself to it for life right here treats
Oh, yeah.
All live.
All live.
But it's so fun to explore your secret.
It should have been all live.
All live.
Well, you can come in and do a co-lab.
I'll do a co-lab called All Live-Rour.
Just come do a song for me because you singing your songs makes me so fucking happy.
I know.
I'm high all day from you singing one of your songs on the toilet.
Oh, my God.
Whatever those songs.
Your morning songs.
Coffee songs.
They're so good.
Allie.
How do you do that?
Is this like an Instagram thing?
He just starts freestyle.
It's like it's not freestyle rapping.
It's like he just singing.
I don't know.
But you could pick anything.
My son is a singer.
My little seven-year-old is going to be a huge singer at the 90-tale.
He sings most of his songs on the toilet.
He'll go in there and he doesn't.
He's just singing at the top of his lungs.
Oh, it's so cute.
It's the spot.
I realize that Ron.
has, speaking of toilet talk,
Ronnie has what I have, which is when I'm on
the, when I'm on the toilet,
somehow the door always opens, I'm always like,
Ryder, are you,
like, I want to talk.
Oh.
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
this goes way back.
You do.
Always have the door.
It's so true.
Tatiana was like, and I'm like,
hey, Tati, did we ever call the,
like, behind the door?
No, Kate, when we were living,
we were kids.
Our rooms were right across each other.
door open she would come to my room
sit on the toilet
and be like so like all of her
like lit it I'm like what is going on
I'm like that's amazing I remember going to
Oliver's toilet and sit and like
and like goss I gossip
but then but Ronnie now Ronnie
I realize she
she's me yeah she sits
she was on the toilet every time
she opens it and she's like
Lisa her the nanny she's like
I feel like tomorrow I should wear
the like she just
To like, you know, the blue flower bell bottoms.
Oh, my God.
Shpoopi, can we talk for one second about you making your dream come true and singing and your album?
Because my whole life that I've known you, that's been like, you're always singing.
We go over to the house and she has a microphone.
I think Liz listen to me.
No, what do you mean?
Your version of creep is the greatest thing.
I can't sing creep any other.
way than you're
but it's so beautiful
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of you I told you that
it's really funny because
there are only like a canful of people
in my life that really
know like have
like under like have seen
it that how
important that piece of my life
is yeah and it goes back to
like we were saying about your Italian heritage
like honestly I didn't know
where that belonged to
Oliver his son
definitely didn't it wasn't a clue it wasn't a clue now I get it I get it but like I always felt very
alone in my like hear music in like that crazy connection I think what's so great about this time to
we grew up like here we are talking about our family and we're being obviously you know is you want
eloquent elegant about how we talk about how we grew up because we don't ever want to you know
offend anybody or hurt anybody's feelings and those things can be sensitive. But like we're living in a
time now where people feel much more open about being honest about where they come from and what
that meant for them, how they reflect on it. And then as an artist, you don't have to just be one thing
anymore. You can go and have a creative idea that has nothing to do with acting and you can go
connect with nature and make something beautiful and the hardest thing now is focus though because
we're all so distracted yeah and you're already ADHD yeah but to focus in on something you
I do too I asked that my I've passed it on to my children to particularly sailor and Lula but I asked
the woman that they see who's this incredible reading specialist if she would test me because I've found
I've found so many loopholes and ways of memorizing my lines and seeing things differently.
But I would love to know.
Like all of my kids have like total diagnosis.
They do.
See, I want that.
I love you guys so much.
Let's do our last little thing that we do, which is we're going to do two questions.
First of all, do you guys get to see each other a lot?
Not enough.
It's so stupid because it is hard having this many kids.
We're like, yeah, I know.
I mean, so how often a year, let's say, are you seeing?
We just like, come up.
Sailor's birthday.
Whatever you do birthday parties or like Thanksgiving, she does a big shindig, so we drive up.
I love where she lives.
So I'm always like, can I come up?
And you're always like, we need two more.
So.
We need two more.
Thanksgiving was intense because the kids were up to like midnight, and it was, and I'm super relaxed, but I was like, this is too much.
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. 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'm Jorge Ramos.
And I'm Paola Ramos.
Together we're launching The Moment,
a new podcast about what it means to live through a time as uncertain as this one.
We sit down with politicians.
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?
I might personally lose hope.
This individual might lose the faith,
but there's an institution that doesn't lose faith.
And that's what I believe in.
To bring you depth and analysis from a unique Latino perspective.
There's not a single day that Paola and I don't call or text each other, sharing news and thoughts about what's happening in the country.
This new podcast will be a way to make that ongoing intergenerational conversation public.
Listen to The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We were getting a little bit older, and it just kind of felt like the window could be closing.
Bloomberg and IHeart Podcasts present.

Join me for conversations about healing and growth.
Life is freaking hard.

relaxed that when I'm sometimes
when we're like doing kids stuff together
she's so laid back and the kids
you're such a good strict mama I am
so she's crazy I start
to these moments but the kids are like jumping
and running and things and I'm just like
I can't discipline her kids
and then I'm like
when Lula we went to see Taylor Swift
that was so cute Ronnie
and Lula but the thing is
is for me then I'm sitting there
I'm like I feel like my kids
watch that and they're like you're the worst mom what are you doing no me about me but was your mom
was your mom very strict with you or very well yes so and then we were off doing our own
crazy shit I don't think my mom was strict with me but I was a little bit scared of her yeah my kids
are definitely scared of me oh yeah oh god okay here's the question
okay the first part of the question the two part of the question first part of the question is
if there's something that you wish you had more of with your of your sister like sort of something
you would emulate what would that be and then the second part of the question would be something that
you wish that you could alleviate from your sister that you know that it would be you know
make her life just easier or you know for for me like live always knows like the things like
the soap's the real estate the yeah the real estate the soaps like every time she comes home for
christmas or something like I kind of like what's in there and it's like that Nutrugina rain
bath so that's from dad oh I but yeah that's I see that in dad's shower and I was like remember
that oh my goodness Gina like body oil she always knows all the stuff like the foods and the products
and the like just everything
so I'm always like
as a mom and a younger sister
I'm always like watching like when you used to
but if I tell you you don't like it
you can observe it but if I tell her
she's kind of acts cool
because she'll send these like group texts
and it's like get these nightlights and so
the first thing I do it is straight to Amazon and I buy
all the stuff where there's like spatulas
and I'm like so she's always
got like the
she's always got the inn
on like the stuff that works
Because you know what, like, as a mom, you buy everything, and then you realize nothing works, and then, like, the kids don't eat it.
But she always just knows.
And I wish I had that.
So I just kind of, like, sit back.
So every time I go to your house, I'm, like, checking everything out.
So that's, like, one of my favorite things about you as a mom, sister mom, is that you just, like, you just kind of beast through being a mom.
Like, I know that you've had practice with, like, Milo and stuff.
But, like, you just, you just, you know, I would never notice.
find the nutrigena rain bath.
And I know you say it came from dad, but like, it smells so good.
Everywhere I go, I look and I like, I just collect like, oh, that smells good.
That felt good.
Yeah, but it sounded good.
Or I want to eat that.
You know when you like children's shampoo, right?
And you have to get like kid shampoo, but she.
Oh, the noodle and boo.
One time she had, no, you had like pantine.
And I was like, oh, right, pantine two and one for kids.
That's so smart.
You just knock it out.
It smells so good.
And that was a game changer for a couple years.
The pantines.
two and one.
Lula has this like crazy curly hair
and she's always winds up in bed
with me and the curls
it's so much hair I'm like choking on it
but now I just sniff
the pantine hair
I used to be a panting girl once
but now I have like three years left
I remember your pantine hair
I remember that commercial she's like on the
weren't you on like a trampoline and she's like
So what would you alleviate
for your sister
I mean, you know, we've all been single moms and moms with partners and then single moms and stuff.
So as a mom who's been a single mom and now I have a partner and I know that you're single moming,
I always, my wish is to alleviate some of the weight that you carry with three children because now having two,
I know how insane it is.
and that's for me to trust
trust a love
trust and just
surrender and trust to allow
you know okay
yes
are you dating
I don't I mean
no no no
let me talk to Aaron maybe we go on a date
oh Aaron's so cute I've never dated
I don't think I've ever been on a date
in my act I could think of one person
and I really didn't enjoy it
oh really
Like, hi, I love you.
We're together.
I just saw one of those of yours from like when I was in New York a couple days ago.
That's my wish for you though.
Because like I went through like so many duds and just bad boys.
I can change you.
I can fix you.
And I have like the most amazing guy now that I manifested and we were friends for 17 years and I just never saw it.
And then all of a sudden one day I said I was like, if I'm going to date again, you need to write me a 10,000 or a thousand word essay on how you won't waste my time.
and he fucking did it.
He wrote me, and I don't care if he went through chat, GBT,
but he wrote me an essay
about how he won't waste my time,
and he does not waste my time now.
And so I wish, my wish for you is,
and he's like a hot biker bearded thing.
And I just, and I want that for her.
I want her to, like, have a man that's just,
I told my, I told him, I said,
if you want me, you need to bonk me over the head
like a caveman and drag me into your cave.
I love that.
Because that's the only way it's going to work.
And I want you to get bonked over the head
and just,
to find a man that's just like a man.
I feel like my whole life is older.
I've been, like,
but mine is older.
You need an older man.
Yeah.
Okay.
He's going to bonk the shit out of you.
Yeah, you need to get fun.
I'm like, scary in heart states.
Like, I still, I have like a love in my heart still,
and it just takes me a long time to.
Yeah.
I'm still.
You need an older man to bonk you.
Yeah.
So that's,
that's my manifestation for you.
It takes a long time for me to let go.
Like, if I love someone, I love them so much, and it's forever.
I'm friends with every boyfriend I've ever had.
I'm not friends with any of them, and I don't want to.
But then when it arrives, you shift pretty quick.
Yes.
The love just goes away quickly.
If we show up, if you're going to go back to you.
If he shows up, he's like, okay, I took good down.
Yeah, this is good.
That sounds great.
That's not a lover of my heart.
for a long time.
It'll come.
It'll come.
And what about you
for your sister, Spoo?
What was,
I was trying to remember the first question.
What do you love that you wish you had more of?
Just time.
Energetically.
Energetic her personality of who she is.
I would say the first thing that jumped at,
was just time for us to know each other more because we met in such an abrupt way.
And it was always like, oh, we're siblings and we're sisters.
But we've never, I don't think we've ever,
we've never gone away just the two of us.
and had like a sleep over weekend because there's always Chelsea there
Chalaj there and my dad there we it's hard for us to just be alone together
we should go to like massage places you go to like for the weekend no because I don't want a
calonic but I did I'm a massage and a fasting I'm gonna start doing some coffee
calonic I love that's good about no but what is it about her who she is that is
something that you wish you had more of what's the same thing I wish I could alleviate her
power and her strength yeah but I wish that she could surrender
to trust sometimes that like but that but but but I get yeah that she's safe if we have a thing
with safety and trust because it's that thing of it's not like if the person's going to leave it's
like when are you leaving because I know you're leaving because everybody left from our abandonment
issues and that's a whole other episode but we can we love fiercely I know what you're talking about
um yeah I love you guys
I know.
We can do this forever.
We didn't get to ask you any questions about your sibbiness.
I know.
But you guys talk about it all the time.
You know.
Yeah.
You talk about it.
Yeah.
Our listeners know so much.
Yeah.
About your dad.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it's been headline after headline.
But spooop, I want you to talk a little bit before we go about what you're doing right.
Oh.
So people can get excited.
Yeah.
If you can talk about it.
No, you need to talk about it.
I haven't talked about it, but I totally can.
You can.
You can.
Okay.
Talk about it.
I'm such.
secret person. It's so funny. I just, you know what it is? It's that thing of, as an actor,
you kind of don't, you always feel like, oh, the movie might not come out, even if it's a huge
movie, so you don't talk about it until it comes out yet. So I relocated to this little mountain town.
And I always had these dreams of, I've always been such a homebody and kind of creating
things at home. But my whole life I've had these visions of like chickens and children and music and
food. And so I started a business that's called Pink Mountain. And I've been working really
hard to kind of trademark everything and have everything be. But I have olive oil and olives
were growing dropping into my living room and I started making olive oil. And my favorite olive oil.
Thank you. It's so good. I'm learning. I love it.
So much.
Well, and our Italian-iness, like, everywhere I've gone my whole life, I bring all of, like,
I have to just cover everything in olive oil and salt, or I'd rather not eat it.
If I have to go somewhere and there's no olive oil and salt, I might not eat.
But I also adopted all these pixie tangerine trees, which are a special thing of Ohai.
And so I did kind of a slightly crazy thing.
COVID happened, we relocated to this town where Milo was going to school and I let go of all my
representation, all my agents and managers and, yeah, for three years.
Not because of anything other than, I decided that I wanted to allow myself to be able to think
without influence from other people because we're always so influenced.
Like you'll read a script and then you'll have one thought and then they're convincing you of
something else. And I thought, what would, after being 13 and starting, I just was like
wanted to know what it was like to exist in something that I could create that was a hundred
percent my painting or my, what was coming from my soul and my mind. And so I kind of like
cleared the space and then put a little team together to help me do that. And so I've been
working towards that. It's been really fun.
Are you, were you pressing me all? It was like local? Yes. Well, that is a whole journey.
this week we drove three hours away
to the most incredible place
and I met this wild amazing mad scientist man
it's really
that part's really interesting
is sort of studying I love to study
I think that's my favorite thing about being an actor
is having not gone to college
and maybe not having the best education
I love learning things
and in such an intense kind of focused way
so I'm just enjoying nerding out
on the passion of like farmer live yeah i love being farmer live it's so fun we have chicken and
cats and by the way chickens are the best pets ever they're the best they put themselves to sleep at night
and they give you one egg every day they're so cute i loved my chickens i had my chickens for a long time
and then one lasted like 11 years it was like almost a decade it was crazy people were like chickens
last out like I'm like well
she did she did she's fun
I'm jealous very sweet they're like little dinosaurs yeah
well it's not as simple as it's not simple it's so
complicated I'm not talking about the workload I'm just saying
nature working with you know food and nourishment
I've learned a lot from that when we moved from
during COVID the why I called it Pink Mountain is the town I live
and has this thing called the pink moment and every day
the mountain turns pink for about three
minutes, but I had never grown up in the mountains and there's something so powerful about
whenever I was stressing out going through a lot of changes and I would go outside and there
was this like huge mountain and it just put everything in such perspective that all my problems
and we're going to come and go and the mountain's not going anywhere. We all feel about Colorado like
growing up in Colorado I think we all like weirdly just want to be there but we're not which is weird
and in the wisdom in the mountain it's like thousands and thousands of years of it's just there
yeah and all these all these other things are going to come and go and the mountain's still going to be there
well I can't wait for all of this to start happening and for it to come out and people are going to love it
I just know it because you're working so passionately with it and like even just the way it looks
and you're I didn't even get to show you I can't wait I can't wait to show you more other than look I've been sending Christmas I didn't send you any
for Christmas.
Every Christmas I've been sending
marmalade and olive oil.
I love you guys.
I love you guys.
I love you so much.
So, bye.
It's important that we just
reassure people
that they're not alone
and there is help out there.
