Turns out I am a rude drunk. And yeah, we have our second guest today. You're not rude. I'm an excitable drunk that doesn't like when other people talk.

All the good ones. Literally, I can't even believe it. Gem of a human being. Gem of a human being. Hot mom. Hot mom. And all of the above. All the above.

Today we have Christy Carlson Romano, three names. She's got three names. And they're all beautiful. Damns straight. I got three names. Christy, how are you? How's it been? Oh, I'm good.

I'm under-caffeinated. I can always use more caffeine. I'm just sitting here chat with you fine ladies. I'm very happy to do the podcast because, you know, I'm actually a super fan of yours. We connect it. It's for real, though. Like, you're funny and you're hot and I love you

and that's that. I mean, and you're friends. Like, that's what's so cool about it too is that you guys are friends and you're like helping each other like by coming together. You're making amazing comedy and like that's so rare. We don't see like women coming together to make funny moments,

much less just one funny woman, right? So like you guys are doing great things. I'm proud of you. Thank you so much. You're incredible. Welcome to the duo. It is now a trio. Yeah.

Yes. I know. It's a being trio. This is actually my like unofficial like application to be a part of it all. So, and we did a great TikTok. We did a great TikTok. We did. You're accepted in.

So now it's called Sid and Olivia and Christy. Yeah. And that's just what it is. Actually, I think it should be Sid and Olivia and Christy Carlson Romano. That's what I was just going to say. You took the three words out of my mouth. Yes. Good, good, good, good.

You get full name. Okay. So this is like. wild for us, like truly wild. But I feel like we need to start by just getting into like how you started as a Disney icon. Yeah. Like we need to know like how did you get into the Disney game and become Christy Cross and Romano.

Wow. Okay. So I started in musical theater when I was a little kid. I actually started working when I was like six and a half and I was traveling around doing a lot of musical theater productions until I. I was about, I'd say like 11 or 12. I was mostly in Manhattan doing like really gritty, independent films. So if you actually look at some of my stuff before Disney, it's like super gritty and raw and some crazy stuff.

So like I did this one movie called Henry Fool that is a really cool indie movie, but very not Disney. So I also did a bunch of musical theater in Manhattan, but mostly and most notably right before I went out to L.A. and booked even Stevens' pilot was a show called Parade. And Parade got like nine Tony nominations, and it was like very high art. But it ended up getting canceled. It was at Lincoln Center. And I took severance pay, and I went out to L.A. for what they called at the time before streaming, pilot season, and ended up booking

the Even Stevens pilot and kind of needing to shoot that a couple months later. But then after that, weirdly enough, what happened? was is they picked us up. I did the Even Stevens, you know, six episodes in. They were about to cancel Even Stevens because the writers weren't working. And they completely took us out. I think I went, I don't, I think I went up home for a while. They weren't working like, like they were on strike.

No, no. They were just not funny enough for like, they weren't getting the tone of what. Oh. Yeah, they weren't getting the tone, the slapstick humor thing. They were like doing it to be a little bit more emotional. I think like the first six episodes, some of them are still, I think they still use them. But I think for whatever reason,

they needed it to recast their, they rehired all of their writers. So a lot of people don't know that. But so I was home for a while after that first six, six episodes of filming. And then we waited, I'd say like a few more months. And then we went back into it. So pretty crazy.

And then. that was it. We had a tight creative crew and from there we were successful and everything kind of got back on track for it to be one of their more important shows. And then of course, Hillary Duff's show came out, Lizzie McGuire and that was super popular. So right around that time, they were looking to place the term synergy was like a big corporate term that they kept using. So they wanted to synergize like their talent into their decoms. And so they put me and Hillary and Cadet Kelly. So I think like I was just iconic. That's so fun. Right place, right time or just a matter of like, hey, we've got these kids. Let's repurpose their talent and their

image and brand them essentially. Because when you think about the Mickey Mouse Club, like everybody had a different brand that was in a, you know. Oh yeah. Right. So it was like that kind of thing. Even the old school Mickey Mouse Club was like a net Futicello and like all the people there had this like different well she's the brunette and she's the blonde she's the this and she's the that so that's kind of what ended up happening like within the because they had you they had you play very like like serious like no bullshit high achieving high achieving right kind of characters right and then they had hillary duff play a lot of like i don't know i'm just the girl next door yes exactly like i'm just quirky yes exactly and then how did kim possible come about yeah how did

Kim was really rewarding because I had been sort of cast as the, you know, more alpha, no-it-all chick. But what Kim allowed me to do was show sort of more three-dimensionality to my abilities. And so I got to be more like lighthearted and girly and vulnerable with playing Kim, which seems ironic because she's like so badass. But she had... Oh, I thought you were going to say it seems ironic because she's a two-dimensional character. Oh, yeah.

She is literally, out of those three characters, the only two-dimensional character on paper. Oh, my gosh, that's so funny. The most three-dimensional acting opportunity. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Oh, the irony. The sad, sad irony. Yeah.

But, yeah, she's pretty, she's pretty awesome of a character. I mean, she's just like such a freaking hero character. Like, cheerleader, cool girl and crime fighters. She's your basic average girl, but she's here. you're to save the world. And what more could you want? You can't stop her because she's Kim possible. It's a compendium of coolness. Yes. She's pretty awesome. I was always struggling with my insecurities and whatnot through the years. I would say to myself, well, what would Kim do? You know, because like she was really inspirational to me. Yeah, she was very, very inspirational.

Oh, that's so cute. Did you have the ringtone that went da, da, da, da, da. Never. Because we all did. Not once. Oh, I did. It's so messed up. I need to do that. But now it's going to just look. It's going to look thirsty. if I do it now. I don't know. You know what? It's the only purchase I've ever made on my phone, I think, was buying the, dun, dun, da-da. Right. I see what you mean. I thought you meant ever, and I was like, that's crazy. It's the only purchase I've ever made. I've ever made. No, also, Kim Possible was an inspiration to anyone who ever, ever was a female with, or a female presenting person with red hair. It's true. And I know because I dyed my hair red for like a year. And I would always be like, I should wear a black shirt and cargo pants like green green army.

Can I just say that I'm, I'm so obnoxious. So I live in Austin and I went to ACL and I can't help, but any single time I see a girl that has a black shirt and green cargo pants or green pants. I can't help, but it's like word vomit where I'm like, you look like impossible. And then like hoping they like right next to me. And it's like, uh, calm down there, sis.

Like, so I had to like literally hold my, I was with my husband and I was like, She looks like impossible. He's like, calm down. And the other day, he had a black shirt and green pants because he's ex-military and that's just like his palate. And so I'd never really seen him wear that before. And I was like, you look like impossible. He's like, oh, yeah. Yeah.

I love the concept of this person who runs around screaming. You look like me. It's so, I got like the one like little thing I can't help. But say, I love that. I love it. I love it. Now, here's a question for you. I love that.

And this, I've been wondering this for you. years and years ever since I've seen the show, ever since I was attracted to Shigo. I've just been wondering. Who isn't, though? Who isn't? Why does Kim possible have pointy boobs? Oh. And Bonnie and Shigo have round boobs. Okay, that's an interesting question. It is, it is interesting. And honestly, it's not as nefarious as it seems. I think she was drawn to be an art deco piece of art. If you can see the backgrounds and all of the set pieces like the Middleton High School, everything is art deco inspired.

So the pointiness and the things like that are over exaggerated to kind of all tie into one beautiful piece of art. You know, they did, they did do that. That's true. I don't think it was like to sexualize the character though. I don't think so either. But because I'm me, I have sexualized them. And then I just needed to know.

Yeah. I think it's just, they're like, there's all kinds of bodies. There's all kind of boobs. Some of them are Art Deco boobs. And some of them are like curvy, curvy curve boobs. Yeah, you know what? Actually, if you rewatch KP, they actually have, the girls have really beautiful hips. They have, um, they do.

They do. They have really beautiful hips and butt. Yes. All of the compost bodies are really beautiful. Yeah, I love that. That's like a kind of great thing. everybody's body is beautiful. Everybody's body is beautiful.

Rufus's body is beautiful. Yeah, Rufus's body is, I mean, is just stunning. Just stunning. And I have a funny story about the Rufus body. So I guess they were experimenting with having Rufus in the parks, but they had to pull him away because he looked too phallic.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, sorry, this is so much to process right now. In the parks as in like... Disneyland? I think maybe just Disney in general was, experimenting with costuming a live at a live costumed yes roof a face performer yes like no well but like a costume a mascot in the parks and oh yeah oh yeah i thought you were going to say it got pulled because it was like a tall giant naked person at that point yeah but that's even crazier that it it looks like it looks like a peepee it does look like a pee pee with with teeth well what peepee

doesn't have teeth. That's my band name, a peepee with teeth. I don't think you want a pee with teeth taking pictures with children. Any peepee I've ever seen has tea. Yeah, it usually takes pictures with children. We need to edit your profile on Bumble, okay, to not, no peepees with teeth. Send me a dick pig. Better have teeth. I love that. That is fantastic. I, the other day I was thinking about all of the different representations of food and animation. Oh my God. And which ones look the yummiest. Well, Sid made a PowerPoint about this a long time ago.

I made a PowerPoint presentation. Why'd you make a PowerPoint? That's awesome. Oh, well, we did a lot of things during quarantine. I didn't have a ton to do. Yep. I didn't have a ton to do. So I made a quarantine power.

I made a lot of PowerPoints over quarantine and presented them to my friends when they didn't want it. That's amazing. It's the funnest thing to do. You could have done, you could have done a lot of bad things and you didn't. You made PowerPoints. And I applaud you for that. It's true.

I'm a very square kid. I love that. And one of the, uh, Quarantine PowerPoint presentations was called drawing taste to the representation of food in animation. And one of the slides... It's a really collegiate title. I'm proud of that.

And the whole thing is riddled with typos. But there is a slide about the knocko, which is like the thing Ron eats in Kim Possible, which is a burrito filled with chips question mark. A burrito that is nachos? You ever eat one of those? I made one, actually. on my YouTube channel, I made one with Will Friedel. It was my first video on YouTube.

So if you go and you check out my videos, I originally started with some food content. That was a lot of fun with a lot of nostalgic stars. And Will Friedel, who plays Ron Stoppable, and I made a knocko. And it tasted great. What was it? Like a burrito filled with nachos?

Yeah, it was a burrito. And then there was a layer of chips and cheese. and then you just put all the meat and all the stuff inside. It was like a taco bar, but just with chips inside of it. Like, you know, it's funny in California, they do have French fries inside of some burritos. Yes. It's like a- Yeah, California burritos. Yeah, so it's kind of like that, but with chips.

Okay, well, we have to make that. Yes, you have to. Please watch all my, please, honey, if you want that food. We're going to watch it. If you want all that iconic food, I make it on all my YouTube channel, like, videos. My brain is exploding. What is your YouTube channel specifically? what's the handle. It's just my name. It's Christy Carlson Romano. Perfect. Okay. So easy to remember. I want you to cook

through my YouTube channel. We're literally, we're honestly going to. And make sure you take pictures and send them to me. Okay, text them to me. Absolutely. We will absolutely be doing this. And now, uh, we're doing a very niche segment. Oh yeah. We're shifting to a niche segment. We're going to shift to a niche segment that we can't do in any other show. No, there's no other guest who, who fulfills this. Um, so here's the thing, Christy. Olivia and I are both big sisters. We've never had an older sister because we are the oldest. Because we are the the older sisters in our family. And we want you to be our older sister. We want to adopt you into our family that we're making right now.

Or have you adopt us, I guess. It's already been done. It's already been done. Thank God. Well, thank God. So then Christy, now as our older sister, we would like to do a segment called asking Christy Carlson Romano, our big sister questions. That we never got to ask.

Okay. Let's do this. I love this. We should do this on TikTok. Can we do this on TikTok? I'm going to ask you. Can we do this on TikTok? Yeah.

Okay, this is a fun TikTok. I like it. We're going to ask you a bunch of big sister questions that we never got to ask our big sister because it didn't exist. Olivia, you want to go ahead and ask a question to Christy Carlson Romano? Okay, I'll start. Christy Carlson Romano, what are your nicknames for us, your dear little sisters? Oh, man.

My dear little sisters. Yeah, that's us. And any answer is correct. Yeah, because we're your dear little sisters. Because you're our big sister. Olivia Monster? Okay. I love that.

I love that. That's my name now. It kind of sounds like Olivia Munn, but not. And... Citosaurus. Okay. Oh my God, I'll take it. I love that. I like that we're both beasts.

I feel nine again, and I think that's amazing. Yeah, I feel great. Okay. Okay. Okay, are you ready? Are you ready for my question? Christy Carlson Romano? I am.

Citasaurus. Okay. Christy Carlson Romano. How does sex work? Oh, um... Okay. So you... Um...

This is... This is sudden and news to me that you would like me to explain this to you. I love it. I mean, you're our big sister. You can explain it wrong if you want. And apparently you don't know. So. We don't know.

We're both nine. We're both nine. Oh, Jesus. Okay, first of all, I don't know what you're talking about. So maybe you want to go ask your mom on nine. I guess nine is, wait, I guess nine is like a time that that would happen. You haven't had the talk with your kids yet. You want to be 11?

No, Sid. Sid, they're four and two. No way. Oh, got it. Okay. They're just learning about their... No, you're good. Nine is probably what it's going to happen,

just based on the fact that social media is just so, so like a lot, like present with all those kinds of images. So, okay, let's see. Sorry, this is a great question. It's the best question anyone has ever asked me and stumping me beyond belief. Okay. Thank God.

Okay. So basically, there are bodies, and those bodies can connect to each other, and they can make a happy music, and tickle each other. And usually this happens when someone is very clean and they've cleaned their bodies and they're making sure that they very well know the person that they're tickling

and sort of having this tickle experience with them with linking their bodies together. And also each person is very much wanting to do this. That is something called consent, and I don't think nine years old is too early to know about the word consent. So if you don't know what consent is, yeah, no. My girls already understand the concept of no and yes, and, you know, they are not required to hug anybody or do anything. Oh, I love that.

I love to hear that. So that's it, guys. I'm going to applaud that answer. Yeah, that was an absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous answer. Olivia, ask your big sister question. All right. Christy Carlton Romano, how do you know if a boy likes it? you. He will be a normal human being and tell you respectfully that he does. And if he doesn't,

he's got issues and you move on. Oh, Christy Carlson-Mirrano, that's such a healthy answer. These are such good big sister answers. Okay, big sister, Christy Carlson-Rumano. How do you know when you're in love? Oh, well, here's the thing. You can be in love with a lot of things. Mostly, it's most important to be in love with yourself. You have to know how much you love. love yourself first. And I think if you know how much you love yourself and you love your body and you love your stomach so you eat what you want and you eat healthy foods or you, you love life and you love all the things in the world and you know what those things are and you have your hobbies and you have your goals and you have your friends and you have your love for your

family and you also can set your boundaries for your family. And so sometimes you don't have to completely, you can love your family, but you don't necessarily have to be around them all the time and have to say yes to everything that they tell you to. So know that you can have your own self-worth and love yourself for all that self-worth. And then you might have a clearer vision for what it looks like to be in love with another person. Oh my God. That's a mouthball. All right. So if you don't know the answer to this question, that's okay. But I've always wanted to ask a big sister this question. Christy Carlson Romano, what is a French braid?

Oh my God. What is a French braid? You are asking the wrong person. Look, I can do anything except a French braid. Okay, you know what? What? Then I'm not meant to know. You know what?

I can do a French braid. I have one in my hair right now. Oh, shit. Okay, well, I'm still not meant to know because I've never known and I asked my big sister and she didn't know, which means genetically I'm not supposed to know. That's true. You're not. I don't know.

Oh, I'm so. sorry, Olivia. I only ever do my hero one way anyway. I've just never known what a French grade is. It's okay. Christy Carlson Romano, you've only failed us once now. Okay. I can live with that. Here's, here's my last question for my big sister, Christy Carlson Romano. Christy Carlson Romano, is it appropriate to make kissy on the first date? Um, you're nine? Yeah, I was going to say, are we still nine? No, no, now I've grown up. Okay. Now I'm 16. No, you're 16? Yeah. Sure. As long as you want to do it. Right. Wait, what are we talking about when we say make kissy here?

I don't know. What are you thinking? I mean, you're six... You're like... You're 16-year-old is like a... I think I have no concept of age. Yo, these 16-year-olds now on TikTok are not the same 16-year-olds when we were young. Okay?

That's all I'm going to say. No. They don't get an awkward face. We knew each other when we were 16 and it was bad. We met in high school and we were both rough. Yeah. Have you guys seen Penn 15? I feel like you guys would love that show.

Yes. I love it. Yeah. Oh, we do. We were all Penn 15, like awkward growing up, like idolizing, you know, pop culture and like just kind of trying to get by and go through that awkward phase. Like I was like that too. And, um, and now I'm like looking at TikTok and, you know, that's how we met. And it's like, it's like hard to find content that isn't super sexualized.

And, um, and even when I'm making content, it's hard just to want to have a good time. And that's why I actually gravitate towards the mom humor because it's like deconstructing all of that and kind of just enjoying. Yeah. You know what I mean? And that's why I love your guys' content because it's fun and it's still cute, but like it's fun and it's funny. And so I have a hard time. Yeah, I have a hard time reconciling today's 16 year olds. But they're struggling.

It's hard because there's, you know, they know. Oh, everyone's struggling. Yeah. Yeah, and I feel like the growing up, because I only got, you know, social media when I was probably 14 or so. But the idea of having it like when you're like seven or having it when you're like even younger and then becoming a 16 year old, like that's just got to be so stressful. Oh, it's horrifying. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm glad that that wasn't me. But it's interesting because you talked about kind of having your Penn 15 stage and like idolizing people.

Who were the people you idolized when you were like a kid? Who were your Christy Carlson-Romanos? Who were your Christy Carlson-Romanos? I really liked Angelina Jolie. She was like my everything, my favorite person in the whole wide world. So that's the short answer. But there was definitely other actresses. I loved Reese Witherspoon.

And I'm trying to think who else. But yeah, Angelina Jolie was my top one for sure. Now we need to see Angelina Jolie play Ren in Even Stevens. Oh, man. Or even, I would love to see her play Cadet Captain Jennifer Stone. That would have been... Oh my God. That would have a next level. The cheek bones.

Yeah. We have to spin it into a remake. They're doing remakes. We've got to do a remake. So, yeah, we, we, you know, as, as children, we, like, fantasized about all of our Disney icons and being in a room with them and being friends with them, and it was, like, a big thing. I'm playing duck, duck, duck goose until only one person is left alive. Playing duck, duck goose with all of your Disney Channel friends until only one is left alive. don't know the rules to duck, duck, dugues. And so we wanted to do another very niche segment that we can never do again.

Okay. This is a game called Disney icons who are almost as iconic as Christy Carlson Romano. Okay. Fair enough. We name Disney icons and you say if you've met them or haven't, and if you have met them, if you have a funny story with them. Even if it's like a one sentence story of like once we both saw an apple. Okay.

Like it can be so minimal. Okay. And if you haven't met them, you can be like, no. Okay. Okay. Now this one I know you've met. Okay. You ready?

Okay. Hillary Duff. Once we went shopping for Louis Vuitton purses, but I preferred coach. Oh my goodness. A humble Christy Carlson Romano. I love that. You guys. I love that, especially because I just bought a coach thing when I was drunk.

You did. You did. I did. I know you've met this one. Shailabuff. Mm. Oh, boy. Um, he used to freestyle a lot and I definitely freestyle wrapped, battled with Shail

Abuff. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. All right. Well, add another skill to your resume, freestyling. That's like very freaking cool. Okay. Oh, here's one.

Raven Simone. Hmm. Um, Raven, Simone once told me that I need to be a better business woman. Okay. Was that, was that, um, asked for? Indirectly, yeah. That's so Raven. Oh my God, that is so Raven of her to do that.

A, an early, uh, Disney, uh, star later becoming, uh, an Oscar winning star, Anne Hathway. Oh, I never met her. Other than the time that I, no, no, no, other than the time that I, no, other than the time that I, had crossed paths with her. It was very, very, like, like, sliding doors kind of thing. We were at an audition, and I ended up booking it, and she didn't. And then later down in life, like, I never got a chance to audition for Princess Diaries, but I was supposed to, and I didn't go. And then I ended up seeing her at somebody's birthday party. It was Eric von Detton's birthday party from Brink.

And so, like, oh, my God. Super random. Iconic movie. So, yeah, we were at Eric von Detton's birthday party. That's a random. moment. Wasn't he was in, he was in Princess Diaries also, right? Yes, he was. He was the, he played the diary.

He was Josh. Every, yeah, Josh. Wow. Kim had Josh Manky. Remember that was like, Josh is like a sexy millennial guy.

Josh and Brad, but Brad was the bad guy. Brad's been the bad guy since like the eight years. Brad's always the bad guy. Brad's always the bad guy. Yeah. You're cursing your kid by naming them. Yeah.

Josh was always like the hot guy who was too cool for school and Brad was always. Josh was always the heartbreaker. Yeah, and then Brad was mean. Brad was always doing hate crimes, Brad. And then Matt, Matt was always second to Brad as well, Matt, I think, in real life. I dated to Matt, who was a huge douche. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I love all that.

Okay, okay, are you ready? Have you ever met A.J. Machaka of Allie and A.J. Yes, I have. And Phil of the Future. I saw her recently in Australia at a Comic-Con, and I met her fiancé. I love that. Oh my god, how's her fiance? Do we love it? Yes, very much so. They're very in love. Okay, I love that. I think they may even be married now because that was like a year or two ago.

And then last but not least, of course, do you have any great stories with Will Friedel, Eric from Boy Meets World and Ron from Kim Possible? Yes, Will did do, you know, we made the knocko on my YouTube channel and we also went to Australia together. Shoot, no, it wasn't Australia. It was it was London. And I had lost my voice on the plane for some reason. I don't know what it was, but literally no one knew me from Even Stevens. And when I landed, the entire award show,

Disney Channel in London had a huge award show. They don't even really have here, but it was like the VMAs, and it was for Disney Channel, and for some reason it was massive there already. They'd been doing it for a couple years. So they had it all secret hero themed, or secret agent themed.

And so I came to be like the guest of honor with Will and to like make an announcement and say hello, everybody and we did a bunch of press and I still had my voice but for some reason my voice like went out and no one knew who the hell hell I was and I traveled all that way just for my voice to to poop out on me so that was crazy oh that sucks that's like a nightmare it's never and it's never I have never gotten laryngitis in my life except for that one time so I don't know what the hell happened oh my god really weird that sucks yeah that really sucks wow well pork impossible Yeah, that sucks.

That's so sad. Oh my God. You know how they're doing all these like remakes of shows and stuff on Disney? Like they did Ravens Home and like they're doing Girl Meets World and all that kind of stuff. We really want them to do a Kim Possible reboot. Yeah, that would be cool. I mean, you know, I think that they were going to try to do that. And I think they were going to try to replace everybody.

I can't confirm that. But like it seems like they were probably trying to reinvigorate. it, but in a way that was like new to like young kids. Because when they did the live action, they were kind of gearing up towards that. And what I had seen with descendants was that descendants came and was super successful. And then they did an animated version of that because the movie was successful. And it was right around that time. So I was like, I'm like, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder if they'll just try to reinvigorate

and just put these, you know, the faces of the movie into as the voices of this new animation and that the animation itself would be like different animation, not what we were talking about, art deco, that it would be like a fresher, newer kind of thing. And so I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think that's going to happen now, you know. Well, we don't, we don't really think it should be anything like that. No, we think it should be like nowadays, live action starring you. And we should conceptualize that. Yeah, we think it should be kind of like a Riverdale-esque kind of thing. Yes.

Where we take Kim possible, we make it live action, it's like a sexy adult time. Like during the day she's a cheer coach. Yes. During the day she's a cheer coach. And at night she beats up all of the guys who have been me-toed. Yes. Yes. Absolutely.

And that's like her edgy time for her. Yeah. I like it. And then you're already married to Ron. But he's pregnant. He's the one who's pregnant. Oh. That's a plot twist.

Okay. I dig that. Yeah, because I don't think, I don't think Kim Possible has time to be. No. She could if she wanted, but I think she's now with the Me Too movement having so many villains. There are so many villains. She's got a full set of work every night. Oh my God.

Bill Cosby alone is like seven days a week. Is he like roaming the streets now? What the hell is happening with that? Yeah, he is. And that's why we need Kim Possible to be like, no, no, no, go home. What are you doing out? Yeah. Yeah.

And then you have, oh my God. And then absolutely we have Rufus is in jail for public nudity. Right, because he can help it. He's very phallic. He's in jail for that. But also we realized last night when we were talking in the car, we were like, oh, my God, he would be Kim Possible's like inside guy in the prison. And so he would be quite literally a mole.

And because he's telling on people in the prison, he would also be a rat. So how crazy is that? So Rufus is a naked mole rat. He is a naked mole rat. I mean, yes. To the T. Yes, he is. And I think he probably learns a lot more, a lot more words than he already had.

So maybe he has more like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He can speak a little clearer. He's been studying up in prison. He's been studying up in prison, which means he can only say the words that he is learned in prison. He can only speak in prison jargon.

And he's jacked. Like he's a jacked little naked mole rat. Oh, yes. A tax. He is jacked. Yeah. Oh my God. 100%.

That's 100% true. That's 100% in it. I mean, this is what they should be doing. Yeah, I'm going to give Disney a call later. Because doing anything but this is incorrect. Yeah, this is truly what they should be doing. Yeah. Like, it's exactly correct.

It's exactly correct. This might be too personal. But did you ever like date Disney Channel people? Yes. I mentioned this recently and quite briefly. as not to offend my husband because he's a sweetheart and I don't need to go all into it. But yeah, I did go on a few dates with Sean Ashmore who was in Cadet Kelly. You know him?

Oh, like the hot guy? Yes. Yes. I mentioned that in a recent YouTube video too, yeah, with behind the scenes of Cadet Kelly. Amazing. Yes. Well, good for you in that. But I was too young.

To be honest, I really was, I was too young because even though I was 16, I was a good 16 so like I really didn't know like how to handle that and so I went back into like filming and stuff and like I was just like I was boy crazy though I will tell you that much and then oh yeah yes I was boy crazy for sure yes and I feel like that whole group is like is like it's like when you get like a high school theater department and they're all just like super horny for each other because they're young and that's what happens it's like if you're in that world of like a bunch of young Disney channel stars like how can you not if you're in that world of a bunch of a bunch of young people regardless of where you are that are interested in any type of acting or

theater or art or film. Yeah. You're going to get that vibe. You know, it's weird. I would actually, I would actually venture to say that there was a lot less hooking up than you think. The only people that I know confirmed that really kind of had consistent hooking up was like Shia and Margo Harshman who played Tawny. They kind of had like a little romance towards the end. Oh my God. You can, you can, that totally reads like on on the show. Yeah. Oh, I love that. Just method acting. Yes, exactly. Once again, Shia and his methods.

Knowing everything that you know now, if your kids were like, I really want to be like a Disney Channel actor. Like I want to go and audition and like be like a young actor. Would you support that? I certainly would support if they wanted to be a Disney Channel actor. But I also think that there's a couple things at play. So like one is like they have to have the right personality to, to be on set 12 hours a day and be told what to do.

and they have to be good listeners. And right now they're like literally just trying to be Buzz Light Year for Halloween. Like that's not. And then secondly is that same. Same, right? I want to be Buzz Lighter. But then secondly is I just want to raise them to have an appreciation for the arts first and foremost so that like they can actually enjoy art for art's sake instead of monetizing it.

Yeah. You know? Yeah. Okay. I guess my question is like how did you get so cool mentally? Like, you're so wise. Like, everything you've said this whole time has just blown me away. It's like, it's like a trope that like child stars end up not being necessarily super wise.

Yeah. You are like so smart and like evolved. But you seem very well adjusted and like. Everything you say is like, oh my God, you should be a therapist. Yeah, maybe you should be a therapist, Christy Cross and Romano. Oh, God, no, no, no. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be able to do that. But I do appreciate that.

And like I'm mentoring into this new phase of my, my career and my life that, you know, I can't be on set 12 hours a day working right now. But if I can make YouTube videos and have like intimate connections with my fans like this, then like I'm super happy to do so for a while at least. And, you know, I've been through, I guess a lot. I'm not saying that I've been through more than a lot of people out there because there's been a lot of trauma for a lot of people. but if I can try to use some of my experiences to kind of like guide people through hard times,

then like that's a win-win, you know? So I think I'm also, by the way, like learning a lot through content creation. It's amazing how I'm sure you guys can really like while you're making the content. You're like, wow, I did something there. And it was funny or I didn't know that people are going to react that way to that or like, oh, this is like part of who I am now. Like it's like that whole like journey into content creation that you don't think is is going to happen, but then there you are as a content creator.

That's so cool. That's so cool. I mean, right after this, we're going to go and binge your entire YouTube. Oh my gosh, thank you. And also that's a call to action for our audience. Yeah, make sure that you go check out Christy Horace and Romano's YouTube channel. It's just her name. You'll find it easily.
