00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.080
Good afternoon, good evening, good middle of the night, and

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:05.559
you're not sure if you're wide.

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.919
Awake because of the state of the entire world or

4
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.800
a slight.

5
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.240
Hangnail on your middle toe.

6
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.240
This is anxiety Addicts Bedtime Stories weekly BS. I'm Joe

7
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.760
and I'm Morgan, and we are super lucky today because

8
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:23.839
we have the infamous, beautiful, sweet, kind and fucking hilarious

9
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.800
Jade Simone. And if you don't know who Jade is,

10
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.800
today's sort of your lucky day, because now you do.

11
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.399
You can find her at a I don't know how

12
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.880
many year residency at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, ten

13
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.399
year residency.

14
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.520
Where she is basically the star of the show with.

15
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:45.439
Her husband, who does Piff the Magic Dragon, which I've

16
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:46.840
seen it like three.

17
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:51.320
Or four times. I hardly love it. Oh my god,

18
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.920
I adore you too. It's the hardest thing when you're

19
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.679
trying to explain that your significant other is the magic Dragon. Yeah,

20
00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.960
so he's the magic Dragon.

21
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.239
And they do about a two hour live first and

22
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:09.159
foremost comedy show close second is really incredible magic stuff

23
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.480
that makes you feel young at heart and you go no,

24
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.079
and then the whole audience goes no, how did they

25
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.840
do that? And then you know, you feel like a

26
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.799
child again, which is the point of adulthood, I believe.

27
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.799
And then you have Jade, who comes out in probably

28
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.159
sixty four pounds of feathers, heels, sequins, and.

29
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:29.680
A smile almost to the button.

30
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.120
And Jade, first of all, you've done so many really

31
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:42.480
kind of sweet, beautiful, wonderful media appearances. And I don't

32
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.200
want to say it today everything is out the window

33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:46.640
and you're seeing the real mad and.

34
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.120
We're going to see and we're going to see the

35
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:48.560
real you.

36
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.200
But I will say that one of the most fun

37
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.200
parts about your show, first of all, is the way

38
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.120
it flows is mind boggling. I don't know how you

39
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.959
guys managed to fill that airtime I'm in that space

40
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.640
and the stage so seamlessly and easily because you make

41
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.919
it look easy, which I think is probably not what

42
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.039
happens behind the scenes, but you make it look easy.

43
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.240
I'm going to ask you about the treasure.

44
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:18.919
Chest and tell us about how you got there, how

45
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.000
you ended up in sixty four pounds of feathers and

46
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.759
sequins on a stage on the Flamingo in Las Vegas.

47
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:29.479
With with how many chihuahuas. Okay, here we go. Are

48
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.120
you ready? Buckle up, people, because you might not sleep

49
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:38.400
for the next week. Let's make this fun. My name

50
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.719
is Jade Simone. I am better known as a Kara Bournette,

51
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.199
Lucille ball show girl wrapped up into rhinestone and feathers,

52
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.439
and also the sidekick to the One and the Only Piff,

53
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.479
the Magic Dragon and five chihuahas. And these chihuahuas have

54
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.680
been in our insane life. But yes, we're comedy where magic.

55
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:04.439
It kind of all started with a performing artist accidentally

56
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.840
walking into another gentleman's dressing room holding up a top

57
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.599
and didn't realize he was in there.

58
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.120
I love that, Yes, and is that maybe that could

59
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:16.840
be a story.

60
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.879
I was just to say, well, we have some stories

61
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:21.120
for you.

62
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:21.439
But no.

63
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.560
I started out as a performer, always in dance and

64
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.479
you know, music and theater and everything. And I really

65
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.400
loved doing comedy and I loved m seeing and hosting

66
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.680
events and I just pursued my career as much as

67
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.840
I could. And the grateful and very faithful no I'm kidding,

68
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.240
the grateful day of being in Las Vegas. I was

69
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.159
a guest star on a show and he was the

70
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.599
mel guest star on a show, and I'm not lying

71
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.000
to you. I ran into his dressing room holding up

72
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.439
my bra. His story, of course, is completely different. I was,

73
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.080
you know, naked from head to tech.

74
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:00.719
But.

75
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.639
You know, and we met each other and we kind

76
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.759
of put He was, you know, doing magic in comedy

77
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.719
and performing all around the world, and I was in

78
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.360
other shows and we just kind of like flirted a

79
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.439
little bit that night, went out on a date the

80
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.560
next day, and ten and a half years later, we

81
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.439
have done a ten year residency and we just resigned

82
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.279
for three years until congratulations.

83
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.720
Yeah, that's so amazing. That is a fantastic story.

84
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.720
So Jada, I'm picturing you running into this dressing room

85
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.279
topless as he in a dragon costume.

86
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.639
In this whole see see how this started. And then

87
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.800
we're going to get into some more fun stuff. Hello people,

88
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:48.959
I hope you're ready. It is eight o'clock here in

89
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.839
Las Vegas time, and I've already been up for two hours.

90
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.759
This is the insane life of me. Yeah, it's I

91
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.959
was actually playing the female comedy guest on this show,

92
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.360
and he was the Malk comic and I was having

93
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.199
trouble with my top, and the choreographer that worked with us, well,

94
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.480
not with him, but with me before on another show,

95
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:13.920
happened to be in that dressing room. Now he was

96
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.199
in there by himself, and I ran in there holding

97
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.800
up my top, going hey, hey, you know, Enrique, can

98
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.519
you fix my button? And here's this guy that wasn't

99
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.439
supposed to be in there at the time, just sitting

100
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.079
there in regular closed on a computer and I'm like

101
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.319
running in and of course, like I said, he thinks

102
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:32.600
I ran in topless. We will debate this to the

103
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:37.839
death of us and just charming. Charming is hell, and

104
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.279
he just kind of looked up in a little English accent,

105
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.800
which I will not try to do. He was just

106
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.519
like hello, and I was like, oh my god, I

107
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.959
am so sorry. And for that moment, who a girl

108
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.639
that usually is no words just kind of was like, Oh,

109
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.120
there's something kind of cute about you. And I didn't

110
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.720
know if it was the fact that he was really

111
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.879
really tiny sitting in his chair and he just looked

112
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.000
like a cute, adorable little thing you wanted to look

113
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.000
squeeze an hug. No dog was around, no dragon outfit, nothing,

114
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.800
And then I went on to do my guest spot,

115
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.800
and he did his guest spot, and in the final

116
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.600
curtain call, he's standing back there in a full on

117
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.120
dragon outfit and I was like, oh, this is interesting

118
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.240
and holding the cutest dog whatsoever, which is our original

119
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.759
mister Piffles, which you know, I always this is one

120
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.839
of the harder things that I always have to say

121
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.040
because it's a little bit raw steal. But we did

122
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.639
lose him this past November four day shy of his

123
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.680
seventeenth birthday. So anything you've ever seen on TV commercials,

124
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.600
America's got talent for people that were lucky enough in

125
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.319
Vegas that saw the show before twenty four of November

126
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.879
was the original mister Piffles. So everything good that's ever happened,

127
00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.600
that dog has been around. And we were backstage curtain

128
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.000
call and he's eating a donut. I'm in this fabulous

129
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:08.000
white Nicole Miller evening gown ready for you know, the

130
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.560
biggest curtain call of your life, and he's just standing there.

131
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:16.279
He's like, you want a donut? And I'm looking at

132
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.720
this guy like he's insane. I'm like, we're about to

133
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.920
do curtain call, and he goes, I've got a cute

134
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.920
dog and I was like, well, I'll pet your dog

135
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.480
in his face dropped, so I pet him too on

136
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.000
his face.

137
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.160
So Morgan and anybody who hasn't seen Piff the Magic Dragon,

138
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.879
here's what's really funny is that John is dressed in

139
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:42.120
a it's look. It's saying it's it's a fuzzy He's

140
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.040
wearing a fuzzy dragon onesie and he's holding a Chihuahua

141
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.720
and somehow exuding more masculine energy than ninety nine percent

142
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:52.240
of the men in Las Vegas.

143
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:58.920
It's insane. His dragon skin is rhinestone to the hilt

144
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.439
and it's velvet. He is the Liberachi of dragons in

145
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.439
Las Vegas.

146
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:10.040
I am in complete awe and jealousy right now. We

147
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:12.199
didn't talk about this before, but I actually.

148
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.199
Lived far far away.

149
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.040
Wow, but I think I might need to, I don't know,

150
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.399
take a plane and head to Vegas because this sounds amazing.

151
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.680
By the way, Joe, we spent like half of our

152
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.439
few hours a day we had after she got done

153
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.279
with your show her raving about it, like raving, and

154
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.120
she was like, I met.

155
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.759
She's amazing and the show's amazing.

156
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.519
And just absolutely raving about it. So yeah, I'm sold.

157
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.080
You guys just sold me. I cannot wait to see

158
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:43.000
the chihuahuas.

159
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.320
I cannot wait to see John and his Velvet one season.

160
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.639
It's fabulous. It's fabulous. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

161
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.279
We've been there ten years now and are we have

162
00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.720
five chihuahuas, but only one is doing the show. And

163
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.320
the one that's doing the show now is actually are

164
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:06.480
you ready for this one percent scientific DNA clone of

165
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:07.200
our original?

166
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:08.840
How did you do that?

167
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.919
A lot of money? Oh?

168
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.440
My god, tell me, because I she's only five, she's

169
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:15.919
only five, but I want to do it.

170
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.399
Wait, no, it's the best thing, So you can take

171
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.960
the DNA. It's the best thing. Whatsoever. I love this company, viagin.

172
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:27.480
I love them so much, the scientists, the people, their hearts.

173
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.879
They are amazing. And we were, to be honest, we

174
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.559
were really worried about it because we weren't sure how

175
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.240
the public or the fans or anyone were going to

176
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:40.919
take it. And this dog was in you know, as

177
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.440
we'll call him Piff for now, and you know, because

178
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.399
that's how it all came together. But he was in

179
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.320
his life before me. It was literally his best friend,

180
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.360
his everything, his everything in his career his buddy. And

181
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:57.799
you know, it wasn't just a dog that was on

182
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.759
stage with him. He actually came into his life when

183
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.039
he was touring. It's very lonely on tour when you're

184
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.320
by yourself. And he found this amazing dog through a

185
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.679
friend of his that was on a show. And one

186
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.440
night he did a show and he took his stage

187
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:21.000
manager's chihuaha and took the chihuahua on stage and the

188
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.240
audience went nuts. So after that moment, he went to

189
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.559
a stage manager he goes, we have to, you know,

190
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.639
find me a dog. I think I have found what

191
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.360
I need, you know, in my act and I can

192
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.240
have a buddy. And they went out the next day

193
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:37.360
and they looked on gum Tree, which here in America

194
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.399
would be like Craigslist, right, and they found this amazing chihuahua.

195
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:44.279
And they got there and he was a mess. He

196
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.080
was being abused and he was like, I don't know,

197
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.879
maybe I'm making a mistake in his stage manager said, hey,

198
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.360
let's get him out of the situation. Let's at least,

199
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.679
you know, rehome him, do whatever. So he took the

200
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.639
dog home, gave him a bath, cleaned him up, fed

201
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.120
him some good food, and the first thing he did

202
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.960
was pee on his coat. And then the next few

203
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.080
days he put him in the show and off stage

204
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.679
he was a nightmare. The minute he went on stage.

205
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.120
There was just something about it and he just relaxed

206
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.879
and chilled. So he tried it again and again and

207
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:23.759
it just clicked and the audiences just loved him. And

208
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.279
at that moment he said, whether my career makes it

209
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.399
or not, I have found like my soulmate, a friend,

210
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:36.000
and him and that dog, toy, this is incredible, it's insane.

211
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:39.240
Him and that dog toured together, toured together, was together,

212
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.120
and I came into the life you know, much later,

213
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.559
and that was his best friend. So of course as

214
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.240
we gained our life, you know together, we were like,

215
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.759
you know, there's going to be that day, that day

216
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.399
where you say goodbye to your love, you know, at pet,

217
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:00.799
which is your family member. And he will cup and said,

218
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.879
you know what, I've been doing a lot of reading.

219
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.360
We actually let me tell you how the story got

220
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.440
to the cloning. So we got a second dog. And

221
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:16.120
the second dog his name is Tuey. And yes, it's insane.

222
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.279
I numbered him. It's gonna get better. So Tooey, we

223
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:25.039
actually found on eBay. So we were up one night

224
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.960
late and you know, Pip was just playing on eBay,

225
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.440
playing on eBay, and a picture came up and he

226
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.759
was like, is this for real? And I was like

227
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.279
I think. So he goes, oh my god, they're selling

228
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.639
a chihuah on eBay, and you know, we were like,

229
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:42.720
we got to get this dog no matter what. Who

230
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.559
sells a dog on eBay? So we feel like maybe

231
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.399
it came from a puppy mill or something, because she

232
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.159
would only meet us in a Wendy's parking lot. Yeah,

233
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.240
at this point how.

234
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.200
Most dateline stories start.

235
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.759
Jade, Yes, okay, Wendy's parking work. By the way, don't

236
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:04.559
get the Frosty. I do some really bad things. So yeah,

237
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.480
so him and his assistant at the time went and

238
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.799
picked up this dog in California, brought the dog home.

239
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.000
We were already in residency at the Flamingo for like

240
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.960
a year, maybe year and a quarter. Brought him home

241
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.480
cute at little thing whatsoever, and we were in the

242
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.480
throes of insanity. We had just come off of America's

243
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.440
Got Talent, and of course he killed it on there.

244
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.000
He became the fan favorite, made the finals. I only

245
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.480
did the finals with him because the story was about

246
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.320
a magic dragon, it wasn't about you know him and

247
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.919
at the time his girlfriend, you know, doing a show

248
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.799
hanging out backstage, so it was this whole storyline and

249
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.000
we got the dog and then we had some friends

250
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.799
watching him because as soon as America's Got Talent was

251
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.600
over two days later, Caesar's called and said, do you

252
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.120
want a residency here? And even though he didn't win it,

253
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.879
he was just fan favorite and boom we were off running.

254
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.519
And the first year how it all came together with

255
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.919
him and I being together was we met before he

256
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.360
did America's Got Talent, So I was sugar Mama until

257
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:16.879
he got famous. I love it. He was actually doing

258
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:21.440
a show at the Cosmo and then that show he

259
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.440
was a small part in a larger show. That show

260
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.960
shut down and he was like, okay, well he was

261
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.879
waiting on his visa and things here and he goes

262
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.960
I got to get famous really really fast. And one

263
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.559
of our beautiful dear friends who was introduced to me

264
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.039
through him, I am now the godmother to their son,

265
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.600
which I think is amazing. That is She's like, you know,

266
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:44.720
America's Got Talent came up, She goes, what do you

267
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.320
have to do but lose, And he goes, oh, that's funny,

268
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:52.000
the loser of America's got talent because everyone promotes winning.

269
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:54.639
But he ended up. But yeah, he ended up becoming

270
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:55.399
a fan favorite.

271
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.440
That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I have to look all this

272
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.039
stuff up. I don't get it here and see clips online.

273
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.200
This is amazing.

274
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.720
Yeah, this shit, our story is crazy. So yeah, getting

275
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.320
Twoe too. We only did two shows. Two we did two.

276
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.360
He hated stage. He would shake. He just I wish

277
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.600
he was in here right now because when you lift

278
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:21.919
up mister Piffles and hold them, he would just like, chill, chill.

279
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:24.440
He was a perfect comedy dog. Two he goes into

280
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.440
kung fu fighting. Legs are out, anxiety is out, eyes

281
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.840
are bugged. So of course he didn't make the stage.

282
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:35.360
But he was a great baby to mister Piffles, and

283
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:40.200
they were like bus and buddies for you know, almost

284
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.320
ten years of two Wee's life, because he'll be ten

285
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.679
this year. And he kept Piffles young. He kept Piffles young.

286
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.320
Then the world shut down, you know, after so many years,

287
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.759
and we didn't take Twoe on the road. He would

288
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.000
stay with my brother and things like that when we

289
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:58.840
would tour and our tour was crazy. We hit the

290
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:04.360
road running that we literally packed up and lived four

291
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.080
days on the road in three days at the Flamingo,

292
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:09.759
Like that's how.

293
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:11.759
Long How long did big At shut down?

294
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.279
Like how long was the strip shut down? It's shut

295
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.080
down in March. And then we were one of the

296
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.120
first headlining shows back. Caesars called us and said, hey,

297
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.240
do you guys want to come back? And we were like,

298
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.200
people are going to kill us? What what? And they're like, no, no, no, no, no.

299
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.519
We wanted to put you in the big theater and

300
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.279
we were in a smaller theater when we started, and.

301
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.360
That I saw you in the small one and in

302
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:35.960
the big one.

303
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:39.399
Yes, And they said, you know, social distance wise, we

304
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:43.799
can do it. And the whole time during COVID, I

305
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.440
just to give him credit, my man has this sixth

306
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.679
synh about things. During COVID. He goes, you know what,

307
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.279
let's put together a really large show. Imagine if we

308
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.200
ever went into a really bigger theater. Let's put this

309
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.919
show together, let's be prepared, let's have it together. Not

310
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:05.400
having any idea that Caesar's would make that call and

311
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.799
Caesars made I know, Caesar's made that call, and he goes, yeah,

312
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.839
we'll do it. And we went in full guns, blazing,

313
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:16.480
huge show and they just went what And it's like

314
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:20.240
he knew there was just something, you know, just I

315
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.759
don't know. I can't even my eyes well up because

316
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.119
I'm so proud of how he does things. He was brilliant.

317
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.119
And we went in and boom, there we go. We

318
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.839
just we were in the big theater and we're like,

319
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.039
you know, if they offer it to us, we're going

320
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.960
to show them what we do with it. And of

321
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.359
course Joe's seen the show and hopefully we've done a

322
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:38.880
good job.

323
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.240
We brought our friends for this is this is a

324
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.039
very happy story. But our friends have two sons who

325
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.960
were born with extreme allergies and there was a point

326
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.839
in their lives where they actually really couldn't do a

327
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:58.240
lot because they really couldn't get pneumonia. Incredible parents have

328
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.039
done everything in the world to you know, research and

329
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.440
trials and this and that. And for the younger boy

330
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.400
who had you know who still has a boatload of allergies.

331
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.400
For his ten year old birthday, the doc he was

332
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.240
doing really really well medically and the doctors were like,

333
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.920
you should, you know, go start living your lives now,

334
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.680
which is a huge thing I say to parents who

335
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:20.440
have been on kind of the edge for a long time.

336
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.480
And the boy said, I want to go to Vegas

337
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.119
and I want Joe and Dean to come, and Dean

338
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.839
was like, oh, well, we're going to take him to PITH,

339
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.400
so we bring him to your show, and you guys

340
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:31.279
pulled him up as.

341
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:35.400
Johnny Johnny or Jimmy Jimmy, Jimmy Jimmy. Oh my god,

342
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.039
we did, didn't you did?

343
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.160
And two security guards came up to him at the

344
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.119
end and they were like, you were the best Jimmy

345
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.880
they've ever had.

346
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.480
Yes, I remember now that I have full on goosebumps.

347
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.960
You guys like full on goosebumps. I'm gonna start trying

348
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:54.000
twenty stories. You guys have already told them.

349
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.319
So beautiful, because you know what, God, go ahead, Joe.

350
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:00.119
Oh just every question you asked him.

351
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.000
He gave you a very very like deep, thoughtful and

352
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.000
honest response.

353
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:09.000
And even I was like, okay, yeah, that makes my

354
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.279
day even more because I just kind of always feel,

355
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.359
let's put out the best energy possible. And I always

356
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.839
say you know, do your best to put it out there.

357
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.119
And we attracted an amazing energy and for some reason,

358
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.720
his energy just attracted to my man and he picked him.

359
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.519
And I believe that and he must have. Now that's

360
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.519
even a better story for me that I love the

361
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.960
fact that he had a moment that's incredible.

362
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.720
I think he'll remember it for the rest of his life.

363
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.960
Oh all right, Jade, I want to ask you, since

364
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.000
we are anxiety attics BS, what about do you.

365
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.279
Still have it? This has been ten years in the resistency?

366
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.160
Do you still have anxiety before you go on stage?

367
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.519
And the follow up is how do you deal with

368
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.839
not great energy because you are in Las Vegas and

369
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.640
people sometimes don't bring their best game.

370
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:01.440
No, No, it's hard. And if you want to talk

371
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.000
about anxiety, yes, because you know, like I said, we've

372
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.640
gone into the chihuahua thing this so this is where

373
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:12.079
the anxiety starts. Second Chihuaha two after COVID, Third Chihuaha

374
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:16.640
three Adore? All right, three Adoor doesn't fit into the

375
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.119
green costume perfect amazing got him from a breeder. But

376
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:26.000
he's a thirteen pound chihuaha, so he's in charge with something. No,

377
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.079
we had his DNA tested three times because see, I

378
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.839
keep the numbers going with these dogs. It just keeps

379
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:35.799
me in track. So he's just a big gene chihuaha.

380
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:38.640
He's in charge of morale in love and then boom,

381
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.319
we needed to get a dog. Piples getting older. That

382
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.519
was a huge thing of anxiety. There was times where

383
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.480
we would see him getting a little tired or not

384
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.880
feeling good, and we're doing a lot of shows, and

385
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.000
we got to the point where we started cutting him

386
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.920
out of the shows because he's a beautiful animal and

387
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.799
the last thing we want is any kind feeling of

388
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.640
him being exhausted or not having fun. So we started

389
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.680
doing a lot of tricks we weren't using them, and

390
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.640
that's how the whole cloning thing came up.

391
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:11.240
Is I'm so happy we're looping back to this because

392
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.279
I have so many questions.

393
00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.880
Do you see similarities.

394
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:21.359
It's a bit crazy, it really is. So. Our fourth

395
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.599
one is named Fortune because he cost a fortune and

396
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.720
he happened to be four, but as he's getting older,

397
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:31.039
he's now two years and two months. And the other

398
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.240
day on stage, I was saying to my man, I

399
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.079
had a moment because I looked down and he was

400
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.640
holding his head exactly like Piffles would hold it, and

401
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.119
this this is the clone, the clone, and I literally

402
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:47.960
had to take a breath on stage, like I just

403
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.240
kind of was like, you know, because it's still very

404
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.839
you know, that will be I think forever We'll always

405
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.359
be a bit raw. That dog, you know, I found

406
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.400
the love of my life with that dog. He was

407
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:00.920
on stage with us some of the best times, the

408
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.960
warst times, the most anxiety times on stage. I mean

409
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.359
when you're on stage, like even for America's Got Talent,

410
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.519
you've got fifteen million people watching you live and you're

411
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:16.799
doing magic, which there's no promises in that whatsoever. Like

412
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.680
I know, with like singing and everything, there's none either.

413
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.039
But this is like at least you have a little

414
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.519
bit of control. Sometimes in magic, the control can go

415
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.720
you know, every direction. You got twenty five cameras in

416
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:33.559
your face and you know, so, yeah, the anxiety is

417
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.079
a bit real. But the cloning, I wish I could

418
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:37.880
clone myself.

419
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.440
I'm like, I'm like, wait a minute, how deep does

420
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:40.839
this go?

421
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.440
It goes deep, and I mean I don't want to

422
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.680
keep people up even later at night, but if you

423
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:51.920
go down the rabbit hole on the internet, it's insane.

424
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.799
But it's a real thing, Like it's a real like.

425
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.720
Barba Streison's done it. All these people have done it.

426
00:22:58.039 --> 00:23:01.720
I heard they're doing racehorses now. And it's a real thing.

427
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:06.480
And it's done. The scientist explained it. It's done so beautifully.

428
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.920
It's it's like IVF. It's like it's it's done just beautifully.

429
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:16.960
But there's no promises to temperament. There's none of that.

430
00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:21.759
That was my question, right, Okay, promises. Look, but I

431
00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.839
think timperament comes with your family, comes with your course,

432
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.880
comes with the way. Yeah, and he's he's mister piffles

433
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.079
to me.

434
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.920
Do they grow? Do they grow inside?

435
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.279
I would have sound so scientific right now and awful,

436
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.440
but like inside, like inside a dog? Yes, okay, so

437
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:43.039
there it's basically like you said IVF, like they take

438
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:45.599
whatever the things and then they put it in a dog.

439
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:47.480
Does the dog have to be of the same breed?

440
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.000
Okay, this is where it gets crazy. I imagined in

441
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.240
my head when we had him hit this beautiful, hot,

442
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:02.680
sexy female Chihuala, you know, just like you, babe. It

443
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.920
can be of the same size.

444
00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:10.920
Okay, so my dog, so my dog could have the chihuahuas.

445
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:16.759
Yes, which would be hot or or fortune could have

446
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:21.279
come out of like a French bulldog. Yeah. I don't

447
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.279
want to know any more than that. But they say

448
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.119
everything is done just with like such kindness and beautiful

449
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.920
and you can tell by the way they present when

450
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.640
they bring you the animal and they do it's amazing.

451
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.799
It's like the reason to be honest with you. When

452
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:38.400
we heard Barbara Streison did it and others, I was like, Okay,

453
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.200
she's iconic. We can do it to sold. Yeah. Sold,

454
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:44.599
that's all we need. And it's been the best thing

455
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:45.799
that we've ever done.

456
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:47.160
Okay, well you send.

457
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.480
We used to text Joe later and send her the

458
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:50.960
name because I'm already going to start planning.

459
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:52.720
I want to see if I can do like everybody.

460
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:54.000
I want to do everybody.

461
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:59.359
It's insane. It's the best thing. And yeah, so then

462
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:05.559
it works, so well we did it again. Wait, so

463
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:07.960
you have two. We have two.

464
00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:10.400
Let's see if we can guess the name of number five.

465
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:13.759
Go mork, hold on, give me thirty seconds, No, give

466
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:14.680
me ten seconds?

467
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:22.119
Okay, okay sinkoh.

468
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:25.720
No not five or ten?

469
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:33.039
Bible oh like the little Yeah, I was closer than

470
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.319
I thought, yeah, and then so, so we have twins.

471
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:40.880
The DNA split on the next one, so we got twins,

472
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.039
So we have the sixth one. Wait oh wait, come on.

473
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:48.440
It's so with skittles.

474
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:56.279
Nope, I didn't come up with it. Yeah, pifted, everyone's tried.

475
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:57.319
No one's hit it yet.

476
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:00.319
Yeah. But the way you're saying it makes it seems

477
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.240
like it should be easy to guess.

478
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:04.920
I feel like I feel like six is in the middle,

479
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.519
and there's a syllable before six and a syllable after.

480
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:20.599
No damn starts six. Six pack. We're gonna have a

481
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:25.559
six pack? Yes, so we're done. We're done. We're done,

482
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:28.400
all right, we are going so oft of anxiety here.

483
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:29.079
It doesn't matter.

484
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:31.119
This is fine, This is hilarious. This is making my

485
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:33.400
anxiety better, which is a point of the show.

486
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:35.279
Jay. This is an anxiety cure.

487
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:41.279
Like, you know, it's good six pack to like psychiatry offices.

488
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:44.279
I know it's the best. So I, of course, my

489
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.960
our beautiful original in uh you know, Doggie Heaven, bet

490
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.799
I have five little chihuahwas running around the house and

491
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.559
at times it's a lot. I'm not gonna lie, it's

492
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.920
a lot, especially when the two little now were finding

493
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.240
their voice and every noise and everything is a bark,

494
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:06.640
and you're just like, oh my god, oh my god,

495
00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.960
this is insane. I'm like, everybody, hush, and they just

496
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:14.920
look at me like I'm crazy. But they're adorable. And

497
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.240
I made a promise to the little ones when they

498
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:20.640
turned seven months that they could jump up in the

499
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:26.200
bed and have a sleepover. And last night was. They're

500
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.839
not official for another two days, but last night was

501
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:31.079
their first sleepover in the bed. So I fell asleep

502
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:32.920
with five chihuahas in my bed last night.

503
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:36.000
See, you don't understand. This is everything to do with

504
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.119
what we talk about. Because out of all the things

505
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:42.079
that stress us out in life, and Joe knows mine

506
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.960
are a mini stories like this are the things that

507
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:47.839
put a smile on my face and let me drift

508
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:49.799
off to sleep when I'm imagining you in your five

509
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.680
chihuahuas and how they got there, their names and their

510
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.960
stories and ad ragon sleep.

511
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.440
It's got some dragon pajamas. I got it. This is

512
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.079
my bed is full of animals.

513
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:04.319
I love it.

514
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.640
By the way, my husband always said, we will never

515
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:10.519
sleep with the dog, and we're not getting a dog.

516
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.440
And then we got a dog and now he's like, yeah, here,

517
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:14.680
come here. He's like, he can't fall asleep unless it's

518
00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:15.759
like wrapped around his neck.

519
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.519
So it's the best I all got it. They all

520
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:20.920
have their places. The twins are trying to figure it out.

521
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.680
Two we My second one loves to sleep on top

522
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.599
of my head, my head, I put, I put an

523
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:31.680
extra pillow behind my pillow. So that's where twoey three adoor,

524
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:35.240
who is just you know, our chunk of muffin which

525
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:38.039
we love to the point and no end. He likes

526
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.000
to be in the middle, so he completely blocks anything

527
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.559
that might happen in that bed whatsoever between the dragon

528
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:50.920
and I getting made yes, none and Fortune who is

529
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.279
now you know, the star of the show. He's paying

530
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:56.480
the mortgage. You know, he's the one paying the mortgage.

531
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.799
He will find different spots, but he likes to go

532
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:03.960
onunder the covers and under the covers the connection already

533
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.039
him and I are super close. But immediately went to

534
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:12.599
John like it's insane, like he sleeps right where Piffles

535
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.680
used to sleep. It's really I don't know if it's

536
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.079
like people are like, oh, you're just imagining these things,

537
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.519
and I'm like no, no, I'm not even like it.

538
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.079
There's there's this love and it's insane. But to go

539
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:27.720
back to when energies aren't put out there, My best

540
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:30.920
energy in life is all of my animals. You know.

541
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:35.200
They keep me going and it sometimes I they're Chihuahuas,

542
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:41.160
one of the hardest breeds to train, so they're they'll

543
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.960
you'll take them outside, and I'm just like, yes, go go, go, go, yes,

544
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.839
they all went come back inside and go, didn't I

545
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.640
just take you outside? They will just come inside and

546
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:52.079
ship on the floor and they will look at you.

547
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.720
They will look at you and go, well, it's nice

548
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:58.880
in here. It's like it's warmer. So yeah. So dealing

549
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:01.160
with puppies right now is and a bit crazy because

550
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:03.200
then you've got three dogs who are trying to claim

551
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.319
their territory. So a puppy goes poop and then I

552
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:09.880
just stare at it and go, here we go, and

553
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:11.839
then the other three are like, oh so this is

554
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:14.079
the new spot. Boom boom boom boom boom, And I'm

555
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:16.599
just like, I'm gonna lose my mind because they grow up,

556
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:18.960
please grow up, please grow up. But you know, I've

557
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:21.039
got a few more months and then I love this.

558
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:25.160
Yeah they're getting better. But yeah, chaha was there funny

559
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.440
little animals and long hair Chiha's on top of it,

560
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:30.440
I have even a little bit more of this sass because.

561
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:31.880
Yeah, they're cute, Yeah they are.

562
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:32.759
They're very pretty.

563
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.279
This is actually a great segue because we really wanted

564
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.359
to ask you. We heard you are going on tour.

565
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:43.359
Yes, And I am curious because do you take them

566
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:43.880
all with you?

567
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.400
So tell us about the tour and you leave them

568
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:47.160
with somebody?

569
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.480
Yes? I thank god. My brother is brilliant and amazing.

570
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.440
He does watch the dogs right now. Fortune goes on

571
00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:59.680
tour with us in certain places. But the toins have

572
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.319
been a couple of times already because we're getting them

573
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.880
acclimated to being on an airplane and go and they're fabulous.

574
00:31:05.880 --> 00:31:07.880
They just go in their bag, go to sleep. But no,

575
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.920
my brother watches the dogs. I yeah, I wouldn't make it.

576
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:14.839
I would just like have to come to one of

577
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.240
you guys, curl up in a corner and just give up.

578
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:20.559
Is it's a lot, and it's also very hard now

579
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:23.920
on the airplanes with dogs. Yeah, so many rules and

580
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:28.039
laws and things have been changing that, you know, just

581
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:30.359
just to go to Hawaii to get fortune to Hawaii

582
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:31.119
was insane.

583
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:33.160
Yeah, it's a ton of paperwork.

584
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:36.920
And people were really really pushing the rules with like

585
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:38.880
bringing their therapy duck.

586
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:40.799
Yeah think yeah.

587
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.240
And although that duck was really cute.

588
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:47.559
Yeah, someone brought it brought a snake on and I

589
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:49.920
was like, okay, we're just copying the movie. Now, this

590
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:50.640
is just dumb.

591
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.039
The snake can go underneath, I would say. So I

592
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.400
have this thing because I do. I do live the Milana.

593
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.720
I'm from Massachusetts. Joe and I grew up together.

594
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:00.079
And every summer I don't take my dog, like if

595
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.680
we go on a ski vacation for a week.

596
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.079
But every summer I take my kids home to the

597
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:07.480
US to spend time with my parents for two months.

598
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:09.000
And I'm like, who am I going to leave my

599
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.759
dog with for two months? I would die? So she

600
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:14.039
always comes with us. It's not that difficult. We have

601
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:15.720
to have a full health certificate.

602
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.960
Italy is a rabies free country, so it's actually harder

603
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:20.799
for me to come back to Italy because America is

604
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:24.039
not a raby s free country, so it's actually relatively easy.

605
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:26.759
Our big thing is we can't save money a lot

606
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:31.920
because only certain airlines allow a certain amount of dogs,

607
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:34.519
a certain amount of where we want to go, uh,

608
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:36.400
you know, where we want to sit, And so we

609
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:38.160
always have to kind of play around because I always

610
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.359
say to my husband, I'm not leaving her, I'm not going.

611
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.359
No, I don't blame you.

612
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:44.359
Yeah, so I totally I totally get that.

613
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:47.039
So tell us, tell us about tour.

614
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.599
Yeah, okay, tell tour where you're going, and yeah, this

615
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.799
is how I'm going to do it.

616
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.079
I'm going to look it up on the website.

617
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:55.599
Do it.

618
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:56.559
I have no clue.

619
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:57.039
Yeah.

620
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.119
Really. The thing is is we go on tour, and

621
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:04.799
we know we're going on tour, but we're always adding

622
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:06.240
so many dates.

623
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:07.480
Can you add Milan?

624
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:12.519
Yeah, we're trying. Yeah, I allowed everything. Oh god. So

625
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.119
the name of our tour is called the Clone Tours

626
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.559
because it's the first tour that Fortune is doing, the

627
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.759
Clone is doing. So we are literally if you go

628
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:28.000
on Pifthemagic Dragon dot com, hit live on Tour our.

629
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:36.599
Next one's Canada and then we're all through the United States, Kansas, Kansas, Kansas, California,

630
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:40.759
New York, Massachusetts. Where in Massachusetts?

631
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:43.319
When in Massachusetts.

632
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:51.359
We are coming June twenty seventh to the Lynn Auditorium, Lynn, Massachusetts. Yeah,

633
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:52.160
let's forget.

634
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.400
Let's send four tickets to the parents and then they

635
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:54.759
can go.

636
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.759
Yeah, we'll send our pick can have a double day. Wait,

637
00:33:57.839 --> 00:33:59.920
I'm going to be in Massachusetts for like a month

638
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:01.799
and a half. But starting in July, are you doing

639
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.000
anything around New England?

640
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:07.640
Let's say Maryland in June July, we are in New York.

641
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.280
Okay, New York is relatively west.

642
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.840
Tamps in New York. July, we're in New York City.

643
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.719
And more dates are being added, like it's we probably

644
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:21.280
will be like everything gets added, so it's kind of crazy.

645
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:25.760
We have to do a certain number of days at Caesar's. Wait,

646
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:29.000
he's so cute. I know, I gotta love dog.

647
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.440
No, I actually was talking about your man. I already

648
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:35.320
knew the dog was cute, Like you tell me dog,

649
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.360
I'm like, but yeah, oh my good, I know how

650
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:38.280
serious he is.

651
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.320
Yeah. Oh he's English. She's a grumpy magic dragon. He's English.

652
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:45.679
You know when he started, it was really funny when

653
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:48.199
he started. You know, he would say I was getting

654
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:51.599
fired everywhere because everyone would call him the ere of magic.

655
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:56.280
And then the minute the dragon outfit went on it

656
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:59.360
was okay to be grumpy. People loved it, and I

657
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.679
loved it. Yeah, and that's what did it, Milan.

658
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.559
I have two kids and we will come.

659
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.480
I will get everybody I know to come, which I'm

660
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:10.320
sure you'll already sell out anyway, So I don't know

661
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.320
why you need me. But I'm so excited about this,

662
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:15.440
and I'm definitely going to go to New York out.

663
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.599
We are adding so many dates and I am so,

664
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:24.599
so so excited. But it gets crazy. It's hard because

665
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:27.519
we're at the Flamingo and then we'll take off, like

666
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:29.960
if we're performing in the US or Canada, we'll take

667
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.719
off on a Thursday night on a red eye directly

668
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:38.039
after our show land somewhere wherever we're touring, probably go

669
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:41.199
to press, immediately, go to the theater, light soundtech, do the

670
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:45.039
show that night. If we have to get back to

671
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.000
Vegas because we're only doing a one night or then

672
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:49.239
we're on a six am flight Saturday morning back into

673
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:50.599
Vegas to do the show that night.

674
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.760
Wait a second, Yeah, I'm already tired.

675
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:57.199
How do you pack everything? You have a go bag

676
00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:02.239
like you're leaving the country. Yeah, but like we're breaking

677
00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:04.760
bad here. Yeah, like breaking bad, You're ready to go.

678
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.840
We have a great team, thank goodness. You know, over

679
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:12.480
all the years and things get packed. We don't truck

680
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.639
and bus our tour in the US because we do

681
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:19.599
so many dates at you know, the Flamingo. But it's

682
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.039
a lot of cases. We travel with like ten to

683
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:26.000
twelve cases, and it's hard. I'm not gonna lie. There's

684
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:31.599
moments where if you talk about anxiety or like your

685
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:34.239
stress or you're worried, there's times where you're getting on

686
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.159
that flight. You know you've got to sold out house

687
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:42.400
and the flights are delayed. You're exhausted, and that's the

688
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.159
only way to get there is on a red eye

689
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.079
and you've got to make press. So you land and

690
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:48.880
you're running and you're going and you have to find

691
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.760
that center and you have to find the quiet time

692
00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:54.400
and you know, for like the next two to three days,

693
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:57.760
you're not going to sleep. It's going to be insane.

694
00:36:58.480 --> 00:36:59.920
How do you re energize?

695
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:01.920
Like Joe and I talk about this a lot, because

696
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:05.760
I tend to get very exhausted from social interaction. I

697
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:08.480
can be really social, but then I need to kind

698
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.039
of take a breath for myself.

699
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:12.639
Do you say the breath she means a week.

700
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:16.400
Yeah, I get it totally, and but I always have

701
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:19.119
this awe and appreciation for people who can feed off

702
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:20.639
of it because they do exist.

703
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:22.039
You might be one of them, I'm not sure, but

704
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:23.800
they actually feed off of it and they don't need

705
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:28.480
that calm time. How do you find your balance?

706
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.360
You know, I think the balance is you. You know that

707
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.000
that's a really hard one because there's days I feel

708
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.280
like I have it, and there's days that I literally

709
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.800
am like eyes are welling up, bodies starting to you know,

710
00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:46.320
just get a little crazy and go, I can't do this,

711
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:49.000
I can't do this. But I think, what does it is?

712
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:53.079
The minute I hit that stage, the energy from everybody

713
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:57.639
just it comes to you, and you know, you look

714
00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:59.760
to that and there's shows, I'm not gonna lie, there's

715
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:03.159
shows where the audiences are very quiet, and I'll be

716
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:05.440
in my head going, guys, I need you, I need you,

717
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:08.360
I need you really bad. Right now I'm tired. You know.

718
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.719
My brother is funny because he always says that I

719
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:15.639
was born with energy. But I think I try to

720
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.400
find my quiet moments, and there's hard days. There's not

721
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:24.079
you know, the glimur of show business is what everyone

722
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:26.559
sees on the stage and sees it all. But there's

723
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:29.000
the days you're standing in the wings, in your head

724
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.760
is you know, laying down on a prop. And I

725
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:35.760
always have had this philosophy since I was younger, that

726
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.920
those people paid to see a show. I chose this industry.

727
00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:43.440
I love it. It's in my heart, it's in my soul.

728
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:45.960
I love being out there. I feed off of the energy.

729
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.320
And yeah, there's days that, like I said, my eyes

730
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:54.719
of welled up backstage, I am exhausted and I'm like,

731
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:57.519
why am I doing this? And then the minute that

732
00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:03.119
music starts, you know, ah, oh that's what I love.

733
00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:06.920
And you go out there and you just, you know,

734
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.920
you rock it. And that audience paid to see a show.

735
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:15.320
They didn't pay to hear you whine or complain or

736
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:18.159
not give them one hundred percent energy. And whether there's

737
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:22.559
one hundred people in that audience or thousands and thousands,

738
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:26.760
they paid to see a show. And when they buy

739
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.800
that ticket for me, and they read about the show

740
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:31.320
and they want to come to the show, they made

741
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:34.679
a decision to have a moment in their life. So

742
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:36.880
who am I to take away that moment When I've

743
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.840
already promised it to them by advertising, if that makes

744
00:39:39.840 --> 00:39:40.400
any sense.

745
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:43.440
Yeah, well, I think that speaks for being a performer.

746
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:45.199
I mean, that's amazing.

747
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.280
But yeah, Ajid, that speaks to being one of the performers.

748
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.599
I went through a solid ten year old where I

749
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:58.480
read every autobiography and memoir of every great female comedian.

750
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:02.000
I mean, like the entire cast of the Golden Girls

751
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:07.360
and everybody, and that dedication to the performance and to

752
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.039
the show, especially in live theater, is a value that.

753
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.440
I don't think is echoed enough.

754
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:18.360
And I think that you sort of saying that throws

755
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:22.280
me back to the fifties when very much was the

756
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.199
show must go on and people.

757
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:29.800
Yeah, but why must it go on? Who said that? No,

758
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.320
I know what you're saying, somebody.

759
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:34.760
With a broken ankle and a need to prove their

760
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:35.360
parents wrong.

761
00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:39.519
Yeah, yeah, no, thank you, thank you. I adore you

762
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:42.159
for that, And yeah, I believe it. But I think

763
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.440
it's always just been for me. It's such a passion

764
00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:50.920
and I do love it and I've performed like throwing

765
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.320
up in the Wings I was sick on. I've never

766
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:56.599
touched it since cream a mushroom soup. I just can't

767
00:40:56.639 --> 00:41:02.039
even and it's been fifteen years, but yeah, the show,

768
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:05.079
to me, it must go on. And it does jump

769
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:09.239
back into you know, maybe the fifties or the sixties

770
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:13.320
when entertainment was a certain way, and I kind of

771
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:17.239
think also where it wasn't as heavy with like social

772
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:19.920
media and things, and you know, that's when the stars

773
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.840
would you would they would pick up a newspaper because

774
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.360
I've read so much about it. They'd pick up and go, oh,

775
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:27.639
so and So's on the front page. And you never

776
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:29.880
really knew much about any of them except for what

777
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:33.480
would come out once in a while. And now with

778
00:41:33.559 --> 00:41:36.599
social media, everything in anything we do is out there.

779
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:41.079
So every moment you're representing yourself, your brand, your image,

780
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:44.280
you're you know, if you're having an off day, you're

781
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:46.119
just having an off day. But it can take one

782
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:48.599
person to turn that off day into something that it

783
00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:52.239
totally wasn't. So I think you have to put in

784
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:56.400
your head like this. I put myself out here, so

785
00:41:56.639 --> 00:41:59.119
I'm going to give them my best life humanly possible.

786
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:01.159
I'm gonna give them the best I can. But there's

787
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:03.000
those nights that I put my head in a pillow

788
00:42:03.440 --> 00:42:06.920
and just go, oh god, this has been a day,

789
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.639
you know, because it's hard. There's you know, when you're

790
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:13.880
traveling and excuse me, when you're traveling and you're on

791
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.519
the road and you're not getting much rest. And then

792
00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:20.880
this is, you know, the point where you're doing a show,

793
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.159
you think you're doing a fabulous show, and then boom,

794
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:25.760
you're doing an after show meet and greet. And what

795
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.679
we do is we give free after show meet greets.

796
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:31.360
My man and I and the dog go out there

797
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:34.079
and you can take pictures with us on your cell

798
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:36.440
phone and we will stand out there for hours. Why

799
00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:39.079
we meet as many people as want to stand.

800
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:41.679
In line and after the show.

801
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.559
After the show, wow, yeah, which is Joe and everyone

802
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:48.519
came and took pictures and her and I literally held

803
00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:50.199
up the line, I'm not going to lie to you.

804
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:55.239
We were like just chatting. We connected so quickly. And

805
00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:01.239
that's where Joe, you asked the question about energy and

806
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:07.679
how to keep the energy going. And imagine standing out

807
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.559
there after a show. Everyone loves it, you're doing so good,

808
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:13.280
you're proud of yourself, and then you say, how do

809
00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:15.760
you keep the energy If you get negative energy? You're

810
00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:18.760
out there giving a free meet and greet, and it

811
00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:21.719
doesn't happen a lot, but just the other day it happened.

812
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.159
I'm saying hi to everyone. I'm being myself. This is me.

813
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:27.880
I mean, I'm a girl's girl. I got you, I

814
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:29.960
got your back. I see a beautiful woman coming up,

815
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.760
her hairs out of place, I'm going to move it.

816
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:34.679
If I see a girl that's a little more timid

817
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.000
or her eyes are down, I'm going to do everything

818
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.920
in my power to find something about her that someone

819
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:44.280
might not have said, like your hair color is amazing,

820
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:46.719
or I love your nails or that shirt is amazing,

821
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:49.039
because maybe they're not hearing it as much because you're

822
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.880
watching their body language. So my goal in the meat

823
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.480
and greet is to find something fabulous about everybody and

824
00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:58.000
try to pull it out and have let them have

825
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:02.920
that moment. Doesn't all work, and sometimes you'll get which

826
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.480
is hard for me because I love women and I

827
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:07.679
love being a girl's girl. You'll get a woman who

828
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.599
does not want to hear anything about it because they're

829
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:14.679
maybe wrestling or having a bad day or something else

830
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:17.360
is going on, and instead of just saying hello to you,

831
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.639
they go, no, I don't care for all of this,

832
00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.800
and then they turn around and take a picture and

833
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:30.400
you yeah, and it's hard. It's hard because you're like,

834
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:35.599
you're judging me based on a costume. You're judging me

835
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:38.159
based on a character maybe I'm playing on stage, but

836
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:42.840
you haven't had that moment of Hi, how are you?

837
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:44.719
I'm so and so how are you? To really get

838
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:48.719
to know me? And that's when it can They work

839
00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:51.880
at and then they take the picture. But then you

840
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:54.480
hear it in my voice right now, that's when you go,

841
00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:57.719
oh God, what am I doing? And I think you

842
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.559
start questioning yourself and then you go, did I do

843
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:02.599
something wrong? Did I not say this? And then you

844
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:05.079
start going down this rabbit hole. And it took me

845
00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:09.079
a lot of years to realize that. In the beginning,

846
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.920
if someone was a little mean or a little you know, gross,

847
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:16.000
I call it gross spirited. There's a lot of other

848
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:20.280
words I could use, but I would beat myself up

849
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.559
about it, and I thought it was something I did

850
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.239
or why am I this? Or why did I do

851
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:25.920
my makeup this way? Or why did this? And then

852
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:28.599
we you know, as women, we start nitpicking. We'll look

853
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:32.840
in the mirror and go, oh, am I trying to

854
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:34.760
be too pretty? Am I trying to give too much.

855
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:38.159
My personality is too big. Do I sink back down?

856
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:42.119
Do I not do this? You know? I have cleavage,

857
00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.440
you know, I'm sorry. I have boobs, you know. And

858
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:48.480
then I went, no, you know what, stop it everything

859
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:51.559
that you are or who you are, and she's just

860
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:54.960
not part of your tribe. Yep. So instead of being mean,

861
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:58.440
you turn to that person, which I did the other day,

862
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:01.239
and I said, oh, by the way, before you leave,

863
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:03.079
I want you to know, I think you have the

864
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:08.519
most beautiful smile. And her face dropped and I just went,

865
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:11.280
have the most lovely day. And I said to myself,

866
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:14.719
I don't know what her story is. I don't know

867
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:18.239
what she's wrestling with or something else could be going on.

868
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:21.480
But to be honest, you know, I don't think you know,

869
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:24.239
they realize like those little moments hurt. I'm still human,

870
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:27.519
you know, and I want to give you everything I

871
00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:29.440
have and I'm going to give you my positivity, and

872
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:34.639
those moments you just go, oh that sucked, that really sucked,

873
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:36.679
and then you have to go, don't beat yourself up.

874
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:39.920
Yeah, you know, But to not internalize, I mean, I

875
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:41.960
know everyone always internalizes something, but to.

876
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:44.880
Give it back with something positive because that makes you

877
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:47.199
feel good. You're like, I'm not. I'm I don't need

878
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:49.199
to match your energy. That's a big thing.

879
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:50.840
I don't need to match yours. I don't know what

880
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:52.719
you're going through. I tell my kids this all the time.

881
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.400
You never know what people are going through in life.

882
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.800
Just walk walkway. But that that's beautiful. But I know

883
00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:59.519
that can be draining. I really do it.

884
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.519
It can be because you know, we work really hard

885
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:05.119
on the show, and I think people work hard in life.

886
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:08.760
Everybody's trying to find their center, their paths, they're things

887
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:12.800
that they do. Your energy is insane. Joe's energy is

888
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:16.360
insane just coming through the camera. You know you can tell.

889
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:18.559
And I always say, you know, everyone has their tribe,

890
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:22.599
everyone has their group of people. But I also feel

891
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:26.239
like in order to help each other get through things,

892
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:28.599
that maybe we take that little breath once in a

893
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:32.559
while and say that in the head instead of attacking

894
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:37.280
or immediately just like ah, you know, just go oh okay,

895
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.880
So today's just you and I don't click. But you know,

896
00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:44.519
tomorrow I could be squeezing an orange in the grocery

897
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:47.480
store and you don't even know it's me, and we

898
00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.880
could have the best laugh, you know, but life is

899
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.239
full of anxiety, life is insane, and life is draining.

900
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:59.159
And then I put on top of it five Chihuahas

901
00:47:59.199 --> 00:48:03.119
and a show where I worry every day that we're

902
00:48:03.159 --> 00:48:10.000
not living up to the expectation that that audience you know, wants.

903
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:11.960
And then you have to tell yourself, no, you go

904
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:13.840
out there and do the best you can do, you know,

905
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:16.400
and if you show your true self, they find you.

906
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:19.079
And then some crazy person named Joe finds you.

907
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:21.440
And tracks you down.

908
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:25.000
And I don't know if Jade wants us to say this,

909
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:27.880
but if you reach out to them via their website,

910
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:30.760
somebody gets back to you, which is incredible.

911
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:35.039
We try, we really really do.

912
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:35.480
You know.

913
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:41.039
Both John and I are very hands on. I believe in,

914
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:44.599
you know, being the best I can with the fans,

915
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:47.599
and I really I hate seeing fans. I love saying friends,

916
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:50.519
you know, because I believe everybody when they come to

917
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:53.599
the show, you kind of sink into our show. And

918
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:56.719
I'm giving you all of my energy and I'm hoping

919
00:48:56.840 --> 00:49:01.360
that you are feeling it. And you know, we try

920
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.440
to really be there for everybody and be the best

921
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:06.719
of friends and do the meat greet after and have

922
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.639
a lot of fun. But you know, there's being on stage.

923
00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:12.480
My man. While always saying being on stage is the

924
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.960
easiest part of our career, it's all the stuff before

925
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:18.840
and all the behind the scenes and all that that

926
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:21.159
they don't see, but being on stage, I'm up there

927
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:23.920
for an hour and a half to two hours, depending

928
00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:28.519
on the shows that we're doing, and I'm on cloud nine.

929
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:32.000
That is where I'm just in a room full of fun.

930
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:35.599
You know, it's like a party every night, and then

931
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:37.800
you come home in the chua shits on your floor.

932
00:49:38.159 --> 00:49:42.320
So life balance balance and needs balance balance.

933
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:45.800
Yes, Jade, we can't thank you enough for this. This

934
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:46.280
is awesome.

935
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.159
I know you. I feel like we could do this

936
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.800
for the next six hours. I'm definitely going to send

937
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:52.760
our parents to go see you.

938
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:56.840
I love you, guys. I want to come to Vegas

939
00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:57.360
right now.

940
00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:00.119
And I have to say that I do think think

941
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:03.440
that by choosing to do what you've done with your

942
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:06.800
life and spreading that much love and positive energy and

943
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:13.440
awareness and giving people that much good is pretty fucking awesome.

944
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:16.719
And I love that you exist and.

945
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.199
Thank you, and I love that you guys lining the cloning.

946
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:23.960
It's just incredible, you know, the best thing ever. Yeah,

947
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:27.760
the cloning's insane. And you know, we have funny stories,

948
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:30.320
Like I literally could probably write a book of all

949
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:33.440
of the insane stories that we've gone through on the road.

950
00:50:33.559 --> 00:50:35.679
My man and I'm meeting. I'm you know, I met

951
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:39.039
my soulmate late in life and I love it and

952
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:41.519
it's great. And I have amazing dogs, and I have

953
00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:44.639
a career. But on top of all that, we're together

954
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:49.159
twenty four to seven. We sleep, eat, perform, travel tour

955
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:53.920
and we have to you know, we have a lot

956
00:50:53.920 --> 00:50:55.679
of respect for each other and we love each other

957
00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:58.239
to death. And I don't think our relationship would be

958
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.559
what it is if we would have Matt when we

959
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:06.719
were in our twenties. It takes life, It takes heartache.

960
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.400
It takes the good, the bad, the ugly, the insanity

961
00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:13.719
of life to get you to a certain point where

962
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:17.639
you go, oh, I understand me, I understand the world.

963
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:19.800
I understand. The sky is blue, the grass is green

964
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:22.320
until it burns out in the desert heat of the

965
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:25.039
summer here in Vegas and then it's brown, you know,

966
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:27.679
And it takes a lot. And I'm just so grateful

967
00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.800
and I like I said, I'm a girls girl. I

968
00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.760
love people. I want to hug people, I want to

969
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:35.320
help people, I want to be on that stage performing,

970
00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:38.440
and I just I love it all. And I feel

971
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.320
like I could talk to you guys for a billion

972
00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:41.320
hours and you have an.

973
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.119
You've given me so much energy. I feel like I'm

974
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:46.079
going to be up. I don't know.

975
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:49.079
We have to have like a sorry my allergies are

976
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:52.360
killing me. But you are absolutely fantastic. We are so

977
00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:55.920
excited by the way. The episode that you read for

978
00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:59.039
us comes out today, so we will tag you in it.

979
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:04.159
It's fantastic and funny. Can I tell you the funniest thing.

980
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:06.840
It had been so long since I'd done that, and

981
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.039
I was trying to get my studio. It's half of

982
00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:11.519
its in construction, and I was trying to get it

983
00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:13.360
up and I was doing this and Chihua was remarking

984
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:17.119
and things were going on, and then my assistant's like, no, no, no,

985
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:18.599
I'm going to send it, but no I didn't, and

986
00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:20.719
I did, and I did. I was like, just I'm

987
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:24.800
gonna re record it now, and I really I have

988
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:27.960
to admit one thing I know Joe picked up on it.

989
00:52:27.960 --> 00:52:31.280
You guys had picked up on it. I for the

990
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:35.239
life of me, for that one word of the Canadian

991
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:39.880
dessert or something oh, I was not could not get

992
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.159
in my mind. And then the minute I sent it

993
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.239
to you guys, I went, oh, I know how to

994
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:44.639
say that.

995
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:48.440
No matter I skip the words I change, it doesn't matter.

996
00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:50.320
I don't even know what you're talking about.

997
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:52.480
Oh my god, I don't even remember. But it was

998
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:56.599
the funniest thing whatsoever, because I was like, why do

999
00:52:56.679 --> 00:52:59.639
I not? Oh my god? And I was literally talking

1000
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.000
to it and I literally was saying, like, Joe, you're

1001
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.719
gonna laugh. I was like, Joe, what the heck is this? Like,

1002
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:11.519
I don't understand what this dessert is. What I'm like,

1003
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:14.840
I was a dessert. I don't know. I can't remember now,

1004
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:17.599
but let me tell you I had the best time

1005
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:21.360
because I open you two don't realize what you did

1006
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.719
for me. And I have to give you guys credit

1007
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:26.639
for something right now. And I'm not going to cry

1008
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:30.280
on you because I'm emotional today and it's one of

1009
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:35.280
those days. I haven't had a donut yet. But I

1010
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.000
had put my reading in some of that on the

1011
00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:40.719
back burner for a very long time because I do

1012
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:43.159
scream and yell and talk from the stage and do things.

1013
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:46.960
But I used to love doing voiceovers, in doing radio

1014
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:49.320
shows and everything, and I hadn't done it in a while.

1015
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:54.039
You guys don't realize by doing that, you opened up

1016
00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:56.840
a performance side of me that had been a little

1017
00:53:56.880 --> 00:54:00.159
dormant for a while. And I went on stage at

1018
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:06.320
night with more energy and more happiness than I've always done.

1019
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:10.480
But I went I felt like a superwoman because I

1020
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:13.800
did something I forgot that I loved and because of

1021
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:17.679
you guys, happy, I found that again and I went,

1022
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:21.920
wait a minute, you are pretty freaking fabulous.

1023
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:23.199
Doing things fucking fabulous.

1024
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:25.880
And you know what, you might not have been great

1025
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:27.440
doing it because it was the first time in a

1026
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:30.239
long time, but I like was walking around the house

1027
00:54:30.239 --> 00:54:32.840
going to be or not to be. I am going

1028
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:35.760
to read more stories, you know, and I was having

1029
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:38.440
But so I have to thank you too, because you

1030
00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:42.320

1032
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:49.199

1033
00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:55.000
a thank you because you opened up something for me

1034
00:54:55.159 --> 00:54:59.800
