Speaker 29 No. You're lying.

Speaker 13 No.

Speaker 30 You're a dirty, dirty liar.

Speaker 13 No, put your leg, Libby.

Speaker 17 Put your leg.

Speaker 13 Livia. Nobody wants to see that.

Speaker 31 That's a Victoria Beckham.

Speaker 32 Everyone wants to see that.

Speaker 13 Actually,

Speaker 13 that was not that bad.

Speaker 33 It felt really good to do.

Speaker 13 Okay. Well, thank you for joining us, Olivia.
It's crazy that you're here. And thank you to all of you for joining us here at House of Mar, a wave original.
We have have a few house rules for you.

Speaker 13 You got this, Olivia?

Speaker 34 Girls are magic.

Speaker 25 Reading is hot.

Speaker 13 And so are you. Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube so you can see Olivia in this

Speaker 13 off-putting orange.

Speaker 13 Then she's just laying there and she's just salty.

Speaker 35 She's actually never looked better.

Speaker 18 And you want to know why?

Speaker 36 Because I just won the New York City Marathon.

Speaker 37 Well, okay.

Speaker 13 Did you say one? Yep.

Speaker 38 Yeah.

Speaker 13 She didn't win.

Speaker 12 She won it in five hours, 17 minutes.

Speaker 13 Five hours and 17 minutes, which is pretty cool.

Speaker 22 And that's a win for her.

Speaker 40 That's a win.

Speaker 41 And you know what?

Speaker 2 I think I was like, yeah, let's, you know what? Let's get in the stewed.

Speaker 42 Let's drop some bars to

Speaker 44 stew right afterwards, as long as I can have the couch to myself.

Speaker 45 And that's what we got going on here, you guys.

Speaker 13 That's crazy, dog. You actually, I'm impressed.
Well, let's go over voices. Of course, if you're listening or watching, I'm Alona.

Speaker 13 I was just watched, I just watched my sister absolutely crush the marathon.

Speaker 13 We were all a little nervous there, to be honest, but she did it. You killed that.

Speaker 25 Thank you. And I'm Adriana Mar.

Speaker 48 And I was watching your splits and you were going fast.

Speaker 13 Very fast for a minute there.

Speaker 49 I thought that I might be.

Speaker 31 Coming out of the gate, like at the start line, you go, you start on the bridge from Staten Island into Brooklyn, and it's an uphill.

Speaker 2 And everyone's like, don't burn yourself out. Take it easy.
I tell you what, my adrenaline was cranking so hard.

Speaker 49 I'm pretty sure I levitated over that entire thing.

Speaker 47 Like, I like, it was an insane energy to be around that I was just like,

Speaker 2 and then it was like, and then also the cannon fires.

Speaker 44 The cannon, like it's a, it's a cannon.

Speaker 47 So like when you're inside the star tents, it's actually kind of spooky.

Speaker 44 And like, there'll just be these cannons for like the heats before you.

Speaker 31 I kind of felt like I was in the hunger games.

Speaker 32 I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 53 They were loud. It was funny.

Speaker 54 It was scary.

Speaker 49 But

Speaker 48 yeah, I took off, I think, fast, but then I maintained it.

Speaker 53 When you showed me my splits, my watch.

Speaker 40 battery died. I think when I was in.

Speaker 26 So did you run a marathon?

Speaker 45 Did I actually run a freaking marathon?

Speaker 13 Your watch didn't get it did you even run a marathon if i can't get props on various athletic apps what's the point did i even do a marathon no i don't think so that sucks but also so impressive my phone's turning right now oh my god i don't want to look

Speaker 13 olivia keep going through the pain we are watching your first couple miles were like 10 minutes yeah i was cooking that was much faster than we'd done whenever you and i ran 10 minute miles you were getting stressed i was gassed and it was 10 10 10 like you were going holding it dude that is insane i truly like because I was estimating running 11-minute, 30-second miles, like for marathon, like holding that pace.

Speaker 44 And then I just was flying. It felt like, but it felt good.

Speaker 31 I didn't feel like stopping. I did feel at some points.

Speaker 2 When I felt like I was going really slow, you showed me, you showed me my splits.

Speaker 32 I was still going like 11.30, like my original mile pace that I was aiming for.

Speaker 31 But I felt like I was crawling.

Speaker 62 But here we are. Hold on.
Yeah, sure.

Speaker 34 We got a medal out.

Speaker 49 Shove that bling.

Speaker 13 Liv got a medal too. Hey, Lo.

Speaker 25 Do you notice what color that is? Oh,

Speaker 12 what did you say? Say it it again.

Speaker 7 No, say that again.

Speaker 17 Hmm.

Speaker 13 What'd you say? Say it again. Look me in the eyes and say it again.

Speaker 13 Look me in the eyes, say that again.

Speaker 9 He has a gold medal.

Speaker 41 Her and 55,000 people have that gold medal.

Speaker 13 I have a medal, too.

Speaker 33 She medaled once. Not that medal, though.
Not this one.

Speaker 33 I meddled once.

Speaker 51 There were two athletes in this family.

Speaker 13 Okay, overall vibes. How are you feeling?

Speaker 49 I weirdly feel okay right now, and I don't know if I'm just kicking on adrenaline.

Speaker 62 Oh, for sure.

Speaker 60 For sure, dude.

Speaker 49 For sure. I don't want to be around you in about three hours.

Speaker 13 Have a sip of this, maybe.

Speaker 25 Yeah. Get in on that.

Speaker 38 Thank you.

Speaker 55 Get in on that.

Speaker 7 Am I allowed to drink this? Oh.

Speaker 11 It's a glass of champagne.

Speaker 13 No, should you be drinking it? No.

Speaker 13 But at rug, we have to determine, do we drink? Yeah. That's more about mental vibes, you know?

Speaker 63 Right. That's mental well-being.

Speaker 26 This isn't an everyday. Yeah.
No, we know you have to take this.

Speaker 46 Put it back.

Speaker 18 You have to be independent, Olivia. Put it back.
This, this

Speaker 54 feels insane.

Speaker 18 No, I got it.

Speaker 29 There we go. Ooh.

Speaker 64 Olivia said a glass onto the table and really, really quickly.

Speaker 14 Was that your bones?

Speaker 13 No, that was the straps of that.

Speaker 13 You look salty as heck, girl.

Speaker 31 I feel salty as hell.

Speaker 25 No, when I kissed you at the 16-mile mark, I licked my lips after and I was like, salt?

Speaker 46 Salt.

Speaker 25 Oh, kept happening for about a a few minutes.

Speaker 13 Can we get a number of how many gels and how many salt packets you had?

Speaker 58 I took a gel every

Speaker 2 40-ish minutes.

Speaker 60 Right.

Speaker 50 So I think that was about

Speaker 31 five before I saw you guys.

Speaker 47 If that math is math thing.

Speaker 13 Oh, and then we gave you more gels.

Speaker 65 And then I had to give me more gels because I didn't want to have to hold on to all of them.

Speaker 34 Right.

Speaker 31 So I had about five gels before I saw you guys. Plus, I had an extra one on me just in case something fell out or went wrong.

Speaker 43 And then you guys, when I saw you guys at mile 16 so i ran you know the 60 miles saw some friends in brooklyn saw some other people that i don't know if they recognized me and they were just like really excited for me a lot of people kept going alona alona you ran a marathon today alone ran the marathon today and i would go so close and they would go they get really confused but it's all good and then i had you hand me about four more gels and some salt sticks and some more salt which actually didn't need i had enough on me but i had i take those salt tabs about every 30 minutes um just keep your salts cranking and because you don't want to like cramp up as well um but i think that worked really well um

Speaker 49 the energy of the city is insane right that's what you hear about it really was like the city shows up it was so exciting it was so freaking cool and then i so i saw saw the family at mile 16 the maybelline mile where you guys were hanging out and i got to hug everybody and i am just so proud to say that i did not stop running i didn't stop running No, well, except when I was like hugging you guys, like

Speaker 68 in movement, you know?

Speaker 31 So that was really very freaking cool to say. And I will also say this, guys:

Speaker 44 I am violently chafing on my butt cheeks between my butt cheeks.

Speaker 17 Wow, oh my gosh,

Speaker 2 oh my god, it did.

Speaker 65 Luckily, I didn't feel it during the race, but after when you keep walking, and I stopped for a while and I walked again, I was like, something's wrong.

Speaker 13 Now, give me a description. Are we talking like in between the cheeks or it's like underneath?

Speaker 2 I want you to hear me here.

Speaker 28 Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 13 Oh, I know exactly the part you're saying. It's

Speaker 38 spooks.

Speaker 22 That's not good.

Speaker 13 Oh, no.

Speaker 2 It's okay. And I kind of went into this.

Speaker 36 I actually wasn't even really that nervous this morning.

Speaker 31 I think I was nervous packing last night to make sure I had everything for like the start village. I don't know why that was stressing me out the most.

Speaker 43 It was like, have my gels.

Speaker 31 Have the stuff to keep me warm.

Speaker 53 Do I have the extra this?

Speaker 31 Do I have the extra headphones? Do I have

Speaker 50 tissues in case you want to pee and there's no toilet paper places, whatever.

Speaker 62 Also, I have not peed.

Speaker 13 Yeah, that's because your body uses all your water.

Speaker 26 You should be seeing salt on 30 this morning.

Speaker 65 Oh.

Speaker 25 shit.

Speaker 18 You're going to have a crazy bowel movement tomorrow.

Speaker 62 I'm going to have, like, I'm going to poop crazy style.

Speaker 46 Like, it's going to be awful.

Speaker 13 Going back, though, you've been carboloading. You said in the car, I quote, I never want to see a carb again.

Speaker 49 Share that with us.

Speaker 43 I would not like to eat another carb for the next minimum two weeks.

Speaker 36 I was just like shoveling

Speaker 61 like I had pancakes and french fries and bagels and bread.

Speaker 60 And that sounds really cool.

Speaker 62 That sounds like a dream.

Speaker 2 But after a couple of days, and you just, you're already full, but you know, you need to keep putting it in your body,

Speaker 31 vile process it's not fun

Speaker 31 and i truly i felt so bloated from all the carbs like i thought like i was gonna float away like i thought i was just like i felt

Speaker 68 i just felt thickums like hefty like to the earth gravity was working with me you know what i mean we went and did halloween in new york city so mind you i'm carbo loading i'm feeling Like I'm bearing down on the earth with how much carbs are in my body and I put on a skin beetle outfit to be Zara Larson for Halloween but I think it worked well actually yeah I got a spray tan spray tans always help so that was good

Speaker 29 did you feel confident while you were carboloading and being Zara Larson um at first I was really nervous you guys know I'm because I saw her she was not feeling very confident okay and then she learned how to lay a wig down oh my gosh a new woman I learned I watch 50 bajillion I always watch like a wig wig installation videos when they come up on my TikTok.

Speaker 62 I love them. I love watching them.

Speaker 52 People are so talented.

Speaker 49 So I've watched enough and then I was really watching to know how to do it because I wanted it to look good. Yeah.

Speaker 62 I don't think we look good blonde unless it's done well. For sure.

Speaker 2 And I did that.

Speaker 31 And I got dressed. And I was really spooked.

Speaker 52 I was wearing like short shorts that were kind of like low-rise as well.

Speaker 62 I never

Speaker 29 was.

Speaker 13 But once she put that wig on, she was a different one.

Speaker 18 I felt good.

Speaker 13 And she was dancing.

Speaker 43 She was all about that midnight style.

Speaker 13 Yeah, we were doing a dance.

Speaker 13 And so I'm like, for my Dispute Star Space, I'm like, one, two, three, four. It hit.

Speaker 21 She was like, hit, hit.

Speaker 9 And she kept getting around.

Speaker 13 I was like, Olivia, we need to clock in here. We need it.
One, two, three, four.

Speaker 21 And then walk in.

Speaker 71 And I got it by the end team.

Speaker 47 Thank you, Alona.

Speaker 49 Thank you, Dancing with the Stars, for the knowledge that you acquired.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Tell me, that was my first ever dancing video on the internet.

Speaker 62 So

Speaker 13 it was, it was a scene getting us ready because I had to start getting ready at like to get my wig on at 1:32. Yeah.
And it took hours to do. As I was doing it, I was like,

Speaker 13 this is a terrible idea. I look like Legolas for for a minute there.

Speaker 14 We were, we

Speaker 13 know that reference, that's why we know that. Yes, I looked like Legolas, and I was like, This is the worst mistake I've ever made.

Speaker 13 I'm, and you can attest, I looked kooky there, a little spooky, it was a little spooky.

Speaker 60 And I, you did, you got a very talented wig artist, though, who knew to like brown the roots a bit so it did look a bit more natural to you.

Speaker 62 But

Speaker 21 so it was crazy.

Speaker 13 He cornrows my hair because I have a lot of it, and then he has to like pin it up this way as well.

Speaker 13 And then he puts a bald cap on, and And then he had to like glue it and also do all sorts of other stuff on it. So it was really down.
And then put the wig on.

Speaker 13 And at that point, I was going to take it off. But I stayed with it.
And then he did all sorts of cutting and shaping it. My makeup girl came.
She did all the blue eyeliner and whatnot.

Speaker 52 And meanwhile, so all of this was to get ready for Heidi Klume Halloween.

Speaker 43 Yes. Right.
Which was happening at like 9 p.m.

Speaker 44 9 p.m.

Speaker 65 So this has this hair and makeup process has started at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Speaker 62 But mind you, she first had a fitting at 8 a.m for her custom made costume they came to the hotel room mind you

Speaker 31 we got because of all the flooding and storms in new york city we got delayed we didn't get in into bed in new york city until 4 a.m 4 a.m

Speaker 13 so it was like to make halloween hot happen and then mind you mind you i had another fitting at 11 a.m for three hours

Speaker 49 went until you had to leave early to get your wig on and so then i went into her next fitting to get clothing put on me to see if it would be good for her you know we we compensate compensate for boobs and stuff, but it's all good.

Speaker 61 So it's fine.

Speaker 21 But mind you,

Speaker 13 mind you, I had a fake bang.

Speaker 58 I dropped it. Very easy.

Speaker 9 Was banged out. I was banged out.

Speaker 33 Okay, wait.

Speaker 62 Happy Halloween.

Speaker 24 Happy Halloween.

Speaker 25 I was Judy Garland and meet me in St.

Speaker 73 Louis.

Speaker 31 It was so fun. I had a really,

Speaker 49 Judy was me, and I was Judy.

Speaker 46 What do you mean you were Judy Garland?

Speaker 42 What do you mean you were Judy Garland and meet me in St.

Speaker 20 Louis? 1944.

Speaker 25 It was so incredible. I did not shut up the entire evening.
I was singing every moment. I gave my friend my phone constantly.

Speaker 29 Hey, record me real quick.

Speaker 25 Clang, clang, clang.

Speaker 9 And we went to two parties.

Speaker 25 The first one was with my friends on the upper west side.

Speaker 9 And you would call it maybe a straight party, if you will, or just it was mostly straight people.

Speaker 21 No party.

Speaker 9 No one knew who I was.

Speaker 40 Oh, that's someone was like,

Speaker 27 are you little Debbie?

Speaker 27 Little Debbie

Speaker 70 from the Snack. Yeah.

Speaker 45 I was like, uh,

Speaker 9 uh, she wears plaid.

Speaker 41 I'm in stripes.

Speaker 20 I'm in stripes. Bitch.
What the frick?

Speaker 53 You uncultured swan.

Speaker 13 And I might have been at that straight party because I would not have known who you were if I'd have seen you at a glance. The thing is, I've seen the movie, though.

Speaker 48 I thought, I wasn't really expecting people to know.

Speaker 9 I was like, this is a really niche costume.

Speaker 73 I get to our next, our next location.

Speaker 9 What you could call a gay Halloween party.

Speaker 67 In Bushwick, my.

Speaker 52 In Bushwick, mind you.

Speaker 25 I'm walking up the steps.

Speaker 45 Clang, clang, clang.

Speaker 29 I was like, oh my God.

Speaker 2 Someone clocked you? Immediately.

Speaker 39 I'm not even inside yet.

Speaker 25 And then throughout the night, I just had people come up to me to be like, Judy, you've done so much for me. They just started singing clang, clang at me.

Speaker 25 I had like maybe six or seven. And I was like, that's pretty good.

Speaker 21 That's awesome, Dre.

Speaker 17 You looked great.

Speaker 3 You did look good.

Speaker 13 Once I saw the picture of you next to Judy, I was like, that's a great costume. That's a great costume.

Speaker 25 Thank you very much.

Speaker 9 It was actually very easy to put together.

Speaker 13 Now tell me, were you drunk or just the spirit of Judy over

Speaker 13 you had to do sing that song at every place you went to you kept going and who i and this is what adranna does when she wants you to record hey can you record this you don't know what she's about to film you've no she doesn't give you any premonition on what sort of the video is she just says hey just record this you got to be ready for whatever comes out of her mouth so i imagine one of your friends was just hey can you record this and they were just on yep leah was so down for it it was great um and i didn't get that drunk it was really just real lives man i felt period of judy yeah i felt the song i had a song into my heart.

Speaker 58 It was,

Speaker 9 and also I was like, I got to get a good TikTok out of this.

Speaker 25 And then each one, I just wasn't happy.

Speaker 9 So at the end of it, I was like, what if we just put them all together?

Speaker 45 Good.

Speaker 25 Clearly, some of you are out here taking life a little too seriously. So we're here to remind you to touch some grass.
People make running marathons their whole personality.

Speaker 25 I don't know about you. Maybe.

Speaker 20 So touch some grass.

Speaker 13 Liv, when you were training for a marathon, did it kind of consume your life? Because when I'm training, it's pretty much, you know, everything you do.

Speaker 67 Your job, though.

Speaker 2 For me, it was a lot.

Speaker 50 It's a lot of hours.

Speaker 49 It takes many hours to run that many hours in training.

Speaker 50 So a lot of times when I was on my runs, I would be like, How do people like, you know, I have a very interesting job.

Speaker 65 I work for my sister and I work for myself and I work for this.

Speaker 52 So my hours are not like a normal person's like nine to five.

Speaker 50 So I'm like, how do people with like nine to five jobs do this?

Speaker 49 How are they training? When are they doing this?

Speaker 31 When are they finding the time when it's dark out all the time?

Speaker 69 So that was very

Speaker 61 impressive.

Speaker 62 But it was, I did make it my job and I really really clocked in there. So that's why I'm like, I'm tired.

Speaker 67 I'm exhausted.

Speaker 49 I think we have perplexity way in here.

Speaker 18 Perplexity.

Speaker 43 Are people who run marathons actually healthier than those who don't?

Speaker 25 It says generally people who run marathons tend to have better cardiovascular health and lower all-cause mortality rates compared to those who do not engage in regular endurance exercise.

Speaker 25 But marathon running also carries risks such as acute injuries, temporary immune suppression, and potential negative effects from excessive training or racing.

Speaker 17 Oh,

Speaker 31 maybe that's why like they never they say like you never actually run a full 26 miles in your training.

Speaker 62 Like the max you go is 20.

Speaker 66 I think it's just like to you know not risk injuries, these kinds of things.

Speaker 31 It's a lot on the body.

Speaker 61 It's a lot of stress on the body from like that kind of excessive training.

Speaker 31 So I think that that's why you keep it to about like the 20.

Speaker 25 You've been talking about your knees for so long, you know?

Speaker 62 Are not built for this.

Speaker 49 I don't know if because there's a lot of me or something.

Speaker 31 I'm putting a lot on them with every step, but they're throbbing as we speak.

Speaker 67 Conclusion.

Speaker 31 Marathon runners on average are healthier than sedentary counterparts and even people who exercise less intensely, particularly in terms of cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental health.

Speaker 31 However, marathon running poses acute and sometimes long-term risks not shared by less intensive exercise, and moderation may provide the greatest net benefits.

Speaker 50 Thank you, Perplexity.

Speaker 52 One thing I do want to discuss before we move on.

Speaker 31 Did you guys see British Vogue's article about how having a boyfriend now is embarrassing?

Speaker 74 Contrast.

Speaker 48 Kudos to us.

Speaker 67 What are our thoughts there?

Speaker 9 Obviously, it's like, yeah, okay. Hey, I didn't mean to do this, but I'll take it.

Speaker 25 But also, I haven't read the article, so they're just going off of the title. It feels like that being a girl with a boyfriend is embarrassing, you know?

Speaker 25 That like it's the fact that you have one, but I think it's more so that like

Speaker 25 boyfriends can embarrass the girlfriend, you know, like by their actions rather than just like the act of having a boyfriend.

Speaker 21 That's funny.

Speaker 31 I took it as what's embarrassing about it is that like,

Speaker 27 oh, typically, when I think about

Speaker 69 all the stories I've heard in my life of people that have like my friends that have boyfriends or whatever, or like the breakups I've gone through is that their boyfriends, they're sort of settling.

Speaker 31 The boyfriend is not as great of a person as they deserve.

Speaker 49 They don't put in the work and the woman is accepting that. She's accepting lesser than she deserves.

Speaker 49 And that's embarrassing, that she's not holding herself to a worth that is conducive of the type of person that she is and the kind of work that she puts into their relationship when he does it.

Speaker 31 So I think that that's what they meant by having a boyfriend is embarrassing.

Speaker 2 What do you think?

Speaker 70 I think men can

Speaker 13 embarrass you at times.

Speaker 20 I think we should actually read the article.

Speaker 71 We should read the article.

Speaker 44 Study show.

Speaker 41 Studies show.

Speaker 62 It's embarrassing to have a boyfriend. Alona hates it.

Speaker 48 I'm listening to my block.

Speaker 25 Let me listen to my block.

Speaker 13 Hey, what's your your favorite song my block

Speaker 66 for me i was like the block i'm in you know so i was i wanted to really feel the energy and when when i've been training and i've been doing my long runs i try to not start with music i try to just go au naturelle and i would go for about like four or five miles without anything it truly is kind of nice you just let your thoughts untangle a bit and then when it starts getting to be like

Speaker 29 this this I'm bored, this is awful.

Speaker 49 Then I would put on music and start really jamming.

Speaker 31 And so for the the start of the marathon when it was like the bridge and the just the adrenaline and the people and obviously there's no there's no spectators on that first bridge so the first like mile and a half two miles there's no spectators until you get really into brooklyn and i was just still just vibing i was just like

Speaker 31 i was just letting myself think and i take it all in and there's all these helicopters around the bridge and it was crazy and um I was running with Maybelline.

Speaker 49 And so I started at 9, 10 in the morning, which is like the, one of the first heats to go out. So then behind us are released people that are like really, really running, you know what I mean?

Speaker 49 And they're going for time.

Speaker 31 And they all like,

Speaker 53 it was like not great of them, but like I get that they're there to like be like athletes.

Speaker 43 They were like pushing people out of their way to like get to like the sections and they were being a bit rude about it.

Speaker 61 And like, but I get it.

Speaker 2 And they were like, I heard one guy go, How the hell am I supposed to get a 330 in this?

Speaker 52 I'm like, figure it out, King.

Speaker 45 It's a race.

Speaker 71 That's part of it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 9 So, New York's not the race that you PR in.

Speaker 27 That's what I've heard.

Speaker 49 So that was interesting, but I do get like where they're coming from.

Speaker 36 And so I just took in the city and I got there.

Speaker 2 And then when you start seeing people,

Speaker 60 they start cheering for you. And I read, you either write your name on it, or I don't know if this is new this year, but you can request to have your name on this.

Speaker 2 So I have my bib under here with my number, which has the chip on it that's like tracking me, which means that I can then put this one over it because they don't need to see my number for any kind of tracking.

Speaker 61 It's already being read.

Speaker 61 So people read your name and they cheer for you, which was quite nice because when you're down in the dumps, when you're like trapped in your head and you feel like you're going slow and you're like, oh, you're battling demons, all of a sudden someone goes, yeah, Olivia, because they read your shirt and you have to kind of like snap up, put a smile on.

Speaker 40 And like, I was like, look at anybody that said that.

Speaker 2 So it would be like this weird psychological boost.

Speaker 42 Cause I also started to smile and like put on a show for people.

Speaker 44 So it was really cool to have my number on it.

Speaker 36 And then through most of Brooklyn, with all the excitement, I didn't listen to anything, just listened to the city.

Speaker 29 Listen to my block. Listen to my block.

Speaker 52 Listen to my block.

Speaker 49 And then I saw people that had a sign that said, Alona would want you to keep running.

Speaker 31 And at first, when I was coming up on it, it said Ilona.

Speaker 62 And I was like, oh my gosh, there's another, there's somebody named Alona running this race.

Speaker 40 That's crazy.

Speaker 62 I got to tell Ilona.

Speaker 49 And then there was a cutout picture of Alona that I recognized.

Speaker 41 I was like, oh, it's a sign for me.

Speaker 40 I'm at Alona. So I went up to those divas and gave them a hug.

Speaker 49 And that was so exciting and so cool. And then I saw my first set of friends a little bit down there.

Speaker 9 It was so, it was so exciting.

Speaker 2 Like the way that they were so excited, I think I was so focused that I was so excited, but they were like emotional.

Speaker 41 I was like, thank you for coming.

Speaker 2 Like they made signs.

Speaker 52 That was really special.

Speaker 49 Then I kept running.

Speaker 2 And I think it was a ways into Brooklyn because you run in Brooklyn for a while. And sort of gearing up towards Queens and the crossover that I did start playing music for the first time.

Speaker 49 And then, especially on the Queensboro Bridge, because once again, there's no more people cheering for you.

Speaker 43 So you like, it's quiet.

Speaker 73 Mind Palace.

Speaker 49 You go into your Mind Palace. I put more music in.

Speaker 44 I made a

Speaker 2 I made a New York City playlist that

Speaker 31 Were songs that I was trying not to listen to like I put it in there as my like race day when I need it so I wasn't like training with these songs it was exciting to listen to them and midnight sun and how many times did you hear a concrete jungle today

Speaker 17 actually

Speaker 60 I think once oh that's actually very surprising spread in the news

Speaker 29 quite a bit

Speaker 50 what said give me hype oh yeah it was great there was one that was like pick it up pick it up pick it up

Speaker 53 thop, thop, thump.

Speaker 40 That got me going.

Speaker 61 I was like running fast after that. That was great.

Speaker 36 Back to this chafing.

Speaker 34 Oh,

Speaker 13 could you have done that? Remember, you put like a body stick in that bag, and I was like, what's this for? She like, in case I need it.

Speaker 2 That's the thing. I wasn't feeling the chafing while I was running.

Speaker 66 It's when I stopped, and I think it dried out a little bit, if that makes sense.

Speaker 18 Owie.

Speaker 13 That's kind of spooky down there.

Speaker 71 It's going to be real scary down there.

Speaker 9 The shower is going to go crazy later.

Speaker 46 Crazy.

Speaker 20 Don't sit down in the shower.

Speaker 25 You're not going to.

Speaker 46 I want to.

Speaker 46 You won't get up.

Speaker 25 Not with the steam. You're going to

Speaker 14 pass out.

Speaker 34 I'll pass out. Whatever.

Speaker 13 Olivia, let's do some rapid fire questions.

Speaker 67 Hey,

Speaker 18 what was your best smile?

Speaker 71 Probably one and two, where I was just cooking.

Speaker 39 Your splits would say that.

Speaker 30 Well, you split that. Me learning the term splits.

Speaker 29 Your splits are split.

Speaker 2 That's such something your splits would say.

Speaker 54 Absolutely. Worst smile.

Speaker 31 Worst mile.

Speaker 27 I think the Bronx.

Speaker 44 Like, I was just fighting demons by getting up by the Bronx.

Speaker 13 Best snack you've had? Best gel flavor.

Speaker 2 Okay, I was really liking

Speaker 21 the.

Speaker 60 I like the mango ones. Those are really yummy.

Speaker 44 The honey-based ones in the fruit punch flavor.

Speaker 62 Those ones was like.

Speaker 73 You can say it.

Speaker 34 Brat cocaine.

Speaker 21 The first time I had those, I was like,

Speaker 45 speed. Caffeine? No caffeine.

Speaker 67 Just sugar.

Speaker 20 Did you have any caffeine caffeine gels? No.

Speaker 29 Whoa. Did you have a coffee this morning?

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 9 I can't believe you didn't have any cat all today.

Speaker 22 No.

Speaker 13 Because that would be by, you know, why I couldn't run a marathon.

Speaker 49 Literally, she is on a schedule.

Speaker 44 She's on a strict schedule. I'm on schedule.

Speaker 36 When it comes to bowel movements.

Speaker 21 I can't.

Speaker 50 She ran with me in London and she was like,

Speaker 10 we gotta stop.

Speaker 13 I'd have to run an afternoon marathon.

Speaker 41 An afternoon marathon.

Speaker 13 Funniest sign you saw?

Speaker 2 Okay, there was a bunch of funny signs.

Speaker 49 The one I saw the most was like, you run better than our government.

Speaker 62 That a lot of people had that one.

Speaker 34 Hilarious.

Speaker 49 There was ones that were like,

Speaker 49 Keep running if you think I'm sexy.

Speaker 62 And those were obviously funny.

Speaker 52 Um, the rats don't run this city, you do.

Speaker 65 That was a personal favorite of mine. Classic.

Speaker 47 Um,

Speaker 71 you know, that meme. Why are you running?

Speaker 33 Somebody had that one with the cutouts of the people in that meme.

Speaker 7 Um,

Speaker 52 oh, I was this one I liked, and I think I'll put it as an Instagram caption: was uh, if you can run here, you can run anywhere, or something like that.

Speaker 71 I really like that.

Speaker 34 That was cool.

Speaker 25 I made you a sign. Oh, it is so embarrassingly bad.
What do you mean?

Speaker 73 I didn't even bring it. Let me show it to you.

Speaker 25 Hold on.

Speaker 60 What do you mean, Dre?

Speaker 25 You're going to take one look and you're going to be, do you know how to write?

Speaker 36 It was like some crafts, queen.

Speaker 20 And I actually measured it beforehand too, which is somehow the worst part.

Speaker 54 Yep.

Speaker 30 Olivia loves Twilight.

Speaker 46 Oh, God.

Speaker 41 You're impossibly fast and strong. Dre, this is beautiful.

Speaker 20 Take a look at those S's.

Speaker 60 I am now looking at all of the eraser marks.

Speaker 37 I almost gave up. Why was yellow the choice?

Speaker 48 Because captions are yellow.

Speaker 41 This is great, Dre.

Speaker 9 So that's what I had planned, and I was like, I can't raise that up.

Speaker 41 Oh, I love it.

Speaker 31 Okay, well, the thought that counts here, I'll take it.

Speaker 18 Beautiful.

Speaker 72 Beautiful. Mom made signs.

Speaker 34 My mom is in her graphic designer era, apparently. It's her passion.

Speaker 25 She had four signs or something.

Speaker 52 Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 60 made signs. Our aunt made signs, and mom made one, and she like covered out something.

Speaker 20 I'm impressed. I'm really impressed.

Speaker 56 It was really cool.

Speaker 13 Last one. Well, there was a question on here that said, which is harder, rugby game or running a marathon.
And I'm not, I'm not asking that.

Speaker 45 Lona, we're okay.

Speaker 51 Let's be real.

Speaker 25 Let's be real.

Speaker 45 She ran for five hours plus straight.

Speaker 13 Oh, was somebody tackling her while she did it?

Speaker 60 My demons.

Speaker 2 My booty cheeks.

Speaker 42 What do you think is tougher?

Speaker 32 Running a marathon or a rugby match?

Speaker 62 No, shouldn't we be marathon?

Speaker 29 I'm gonna say, I could say marathon too.

Speaker 21 I'd say marathon.

Speaker 62 15s, rugby, or 7s are we comparing to my marathon. 15s.

Speaker 25 I've never heard a lone a half. You're gonna have to go.

Speaker 62 It's gonna be marathon every time.

Speaker 13 What body part hurts most other than your butt cheeks?

Speaker 60 But other than the chafe

Speaker 62 that was heard around the world.

Speaker 58 Chafe is what and by the way you described it.

Speaker 13 Is that more your taint?

Speaker 60 So I think there's some in there too.

Speaker 10 i will say i'll say it your gooch

Speaker 56 is that what you're feeling it

Speaker 62 the no man's land right okay this earth here my knees my knees have been the worst part about this whole training process right um also i saw a beautiful thing that was like you already ran the marathon this is your victory lap like all the miles of training okay i'm emotional

Speaker 46 loosen it um

Speaker 41 like this is your victory lap and like the whole time, like when it was getting bad, I would just be like, forward is a pace.

Speaker 52 Like I was like hunched over.

Speaker 41 I'm like, forward is a pace.

Speaker 44 I'm doing it.

Speaker 49 Alona texted me at a really good time.

Speaker 32 She was like, leave it all out there. What did you say?

Speaker 13 I said,

Speaker 43 yeah.

Speaker 28 Wait, no, I was actually really nice.

Speaker 13 I was hoping that it would like read it to you.

Speaker 62 Oh, yeah. I

Speaker 63 messaged her.

Speaker 13 I love inspirational texts. Keep pushing.
Almost there. Don't let up.
Leave nothing in the tank.

Speaker 49 Leave nothing in the tank.

Speaker 36 And I was like, that's what they say, rugby.

Speaker 61 Barely could could speed up but i did by the end i did buy the end so that really hurts my hips kind of hurt um i'm gonna say everything kind of hurts

Speaker 25 but my heart is full and heels perfect that's really beautiful so even as a new york girly this was my first time really watching the new york city marathon and wasn't it so cool to watch your sister run it yes but i do have some more questions about it I want to know a little bit about the history of the marathon.

Speaker 35 Oh, Michael, as an an Alona Mars dad.

Speaker 26 That's good.

Speaker 44 As he's famously known in the rugby communities, he strolls in.

Speaker 13 Mom, dad, welcome to the set. Why, thank you very much.

Speaker 79 What do you think?

Speaker 37 It's very different. Very smash.

Speaker 70 Very lovely. It's spacious.

Speaker 11 Does it feel like home?

Speaker 12 Yes, I like the selection of

Speaker 12 crockery and glasses.

Speaker 80 On this couch here, the microphone in your face.

Speaker 79 Yes. You sat there and

Speaker 12 very comfortable. Very comfortable.
I'm not holding in much stomach at all.

Speaker 8 We have more seating than we have in our TV room.

Speaker 81 True.

Speaker 17 Hilarious.

Speaker 29 True. All right.

Speaker 14 We'll get into that.

Speaker 13 That's actually

Speaker 26 really making our money.

Speaker 13 Now, we got to see you. We were with you.
Audreya and I were with you the whole race. You've gone to all my games, mom.
Every game, you're very nervous. How did you feel as you were watching Olivia?

Speaker 13 She was very nervous, Olivia. She wasn't aware of the name.

Speaker 30 You do a pacing thing, Olivia. No way.

Speaker 79 Oh, gosh. Why so?

Speaker 63 You didn't believe in me?

Speaker 18 Wow. No, it wasn't that.

Speaker 12 I I knew that you had incredible belief in yourself.

Speaker 54 Right.

Speaker 12 And I believed in you. But still, stuff happens.

Speaker 12 You know, you had never run 26.2 miles before.

Speaker 12 You've done 20, which you did excellently. But, you know, things happen and your body can sometimes say, nope.
No, I hear you. I did not want to have to rush and do something.

Speaker 29 No, I didn't.

Speaker 12 So when you saw you at 16 and you looked good.

Speaker 30 Okay.

Speaker 12 And you were smiling and you were joking and then you made it to 26.2 and you were standing upright.

Speaker 33 I was good. Hell yeah.

Speaker 12 I was ready to take on the day then.

Speaker 8 But her nervousness was started, you know, days ago. I mean, yes, yesterday she was an absolute nervous wreck.
This morning, she was a nervous wreck.

Speaker 29 Really?

Speaker 13 Not that he was like, she better do this. She better do this.

Speaker 37 That's cool as a cute. She better finish this.

Speaker 8 I'm like, it's going to, you know, same thing with your rugby. It's what's going to happen.
It's going to happen.

Speaker 64 It's either she finishes or she doesn't.

Speaker 80 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 23 Right.

Speaker 74 Through delusion, all things are possible.

Speaker 29 And I made that happen. That's real.

Speaker 12 Bring it really really to the basics.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 63 I even made a video at mile 20 where I was like, this, I was like, I just made it to mile 20.

Speaker 69 Every step I take here is the longest I've ever run in, running from this, from this moment.

Speaker 63 So that was very exciting to do.

Speaker 8 Well, I was amazed, as I think you already said earlier, how good you looked at mile 16.

Speaker 8 I was like, wow.

Speaker 8 Because after your first 16 mile, you were just, you know, not good warm gold.

Speaker 8 And so to see you at that, I'm like, wow, she's, she's looking great.

Speaker 23 Yeah, I felt good.

Speaker 63 I think it was just like, it was the adrenaline, I think, of all of it.

Speaker 74 It was the city of the, it was the spirit of the city and the energy that I was just like carrying me through.

Speaker 43 And I was like, I'm about to see my family.

Speaker 32 I got to look athletic.

Speaker 63 Come on, Liv, pick up those knees. Let's go.

Speaker 29 Big up your feet.

Speaker 8 And looking athletic, did you tell them what you did at the end of the race?

Speaker 61 Yes, I finished strong.

Speaker 69 Like you say, and I just, I picked it up.

Speaker 31 I didn't know where I found that gas in the tank, but I had some fumes and I, I really sent it and it felt really good.

Speaker 2 But the problem is then you guys were a little bit further than that.

Speaker 69 So you didn't actually see me like pick up, but it was all good.

Speaker 26 I'm sure you did. I swear I did.

Speaker 12 I swear.

Speaker 12 It's on film somewhere.

Speaker 20 I hope so.

Speaker 74 If anybody did get film of me from about mile 20, like mile 19 to 23, that wasn't me.

Speaker 14 That was the evil version who took over.

Speaker 26 It was not me. But you can send it to me.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 12 And we'll hold it in ransom.

Speaker 74 She'll make it.

Speaker 68 She'll make an edit out of it.

Speaker 8 Now, if we go back five months, out of all your daughters who do you think would have ran a marathon uh i don't think any of you were meant to be marathon runners nope i would have thought uh being the professional athlete that if anyone was going to get asked to do a marathon it would be alona and she wouldn't want to do it uh but you know what the time was right she would and obviously the situation here was right that it was the right thing to do to accept that offer Alona, you're going to be doing one or what?

Speaker 64 She was in the car talking. She's like, I could get under four.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 13 I was i was like you know what i could probably get like under 430.

Speaker 8 i ran with a lady recently and she got she said she ran a 330 marathon so i think i could probably do like 415 period by an hour lona had her longest run of her life yesterday yeah right with this incidentally yeah she went out for a run right you met up you just started running with a woman you two started going and chatting and next thing you know you matched your pace and went for what eight points something seven miles seven miles longest year longest run yeah there's only one way to find out if you'd actually get that for oh i pray i know i could but i can't i don't want to train like that

Speaker 13 any not about me today

Speaker 13 um i do want to talk to dad though because i i talk about this all the time and i always am saying this in interviews but

Speaker 13 people i i say that you all encourage us to play sports so much knowing you had three daughters but you never treat them like sons can you say that in your own words because i'm constantly saying it Well, you know me.

Speaker 8 I read lots of articles and things. I'm always looking to, you know, get better and things.

Speaker 8 And there was just, you see so many things that young people who participate in sports tend to do better socially and in school and things.

Speaker 8 But it was especially true for young women that for young women, participating in sports helped them in so many other social endeavors and gave them the confidence to do other things.

Speaker 8 And so I was like, okay, we're going to keep my kids busy doing sports.

Speaker 8 And it shows, I mean, just, I mean, Olivia volunteered to be a soccer goalie, you know, that's not a job for a lot of people, you know, but she had the mental capacity to withstand that.

Speaker 8 All three of you were softball pitchers. Yeah, it's a lot of attention.
It's also a lot of attention every time something goes wrong. And in softball, things always go wrong.

Speaker 8 So when you give up a home run, everybody knows that you were the pitcher. And so you learn to take the heat.
You learn that this is not the end of the world.

Speaker 8 When the game is over, win or lose, eh, you're still okay.

Speaker 69 It's also so much about like just dealing with people, dealing with teammates, how to work in team environments.

Speaker 74 It sets you up for like work and life and life.

Speaker 82 All the kinds of people you run into, you've definitely run into them on some form of a soccer team.

Speaker 29 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 And it's not just you're dealing with your own teammates. You're dealing with your opponents.
You're dealing with the officials.

Speaker 8 You're dealing with the obnoxious parents on your side, the obnoxious parents on the other side.

Speaker 8 It's, you know, there's a lot to be learned there as opposed to just sitting at home and playing a video.

Speaker 13 And, mom, I think we talk a lot about body image here and in life and we're constantly talking about it with each other.

Speaker 13 We, I think, also, interestingly enough, have been raised with really good body image and the ways that we view ourselves. I think a lot of that is down to you.

Speaker 13 What do you think that you did that made us so feel okay in being in these like stronger, bigger bodies? And how do you think you spoke to us about yourself even when we were growing up?

Speaker 12 I think that, you know,

Speaker 12 When I was younger, I still very, very clearly remember being like a size 10 and having just gone to go clothing shopping.

Speaker 12 And an aunt of mine, you know, patted my belly and said, they got a little belly there, don't you?

Speaker 12 And I was, you know,

Speaker 12 I've never been a small woman. That's where my girls have magnificent physiques.
But yes, so that was very tough. Took a long time to get over it.
And I did not want to

Speaker 12 pass that on to any one of you guys. That was never, you do not need that.

Speaker 12 But I also learned from you guys because

Speaker 12 there are days that, you know, I was going to walk actually into the door and ask the camera crews to put in their skinny angles.

Speaker 12 And I'm like, I'm not going to say that because I know they're going to rip me a new one.

Speaker 43 Even as a joke, though, it's something that like, you know,

Speaker 63 but everybody feels that way.

Speaker 12 But you guys are very good. And Adriana especially is very good at

Speaker 12 you know, keeping me in line and making me toe the line of self-appreciation of my own body at this point.

Speaker 13 I think it's flipped because when we were younger, I mean, I don't know about you, Olivia.

Speaker 13 I mean, John and I, we always say we have very similar bodies, but like I always felt bigger and I always was just like, you know, people comment on that.

Speaker 13 And I always go to you to that, and you always made me feel beautiful. And then I think it's almost flipped now, where we are doing that for you in many ways.

Speaker 13 And it helps us, I think, like, well,

Speaker 13 you know, we don't, we shouldn't be talking about ourselves like that for other people to hear. So it's been cool to,

Speaker 13 I think, it's, it's, what we, what we're learning constantly is like the love for your body continues to change.

Speaker 13 You've had three babies, how you've had to, you know, learn through that and everything.

Speaker 57 So, it's just a never-ending thing. Oh, and then

Speaker 11 relearning how to appreciate and love your body.

Speaker 12 It's a whole new chapter in a woman's life where you have absolutely no control and things change very rapidly.

Speaker 82 Right.

Speaker 12 And you guys have really done a great job supporting me on that and the problems that come with it. And

Speaker 12 I'm really grateful.

Speaker 11 So as Alona said it's nice that we can kind of help each other as we've kind of

Speaker 69 switched roles growing up.

Speaker 57 That's nice.

Speaker 12 What comes around goes around and for every reaction there's an equal and opposite.

Speaker 69 You reap what you sow.

Speaker 14 What else we got team?

Speaker 29 Come on. We got another

Speaker 13 one. One thing that you guys always did and we're so and I'd love for you to speak on this.
Every night we did a family dinner.

Speaker 13 And it didn't matter if mom was working, you came home from your long day, you were making chicken for us. Mom would be, you know, in the kitchen, we had to sit at the table doing homework.

Speaker 35 Was that like a plan you made even before you had kids?

Speaker 13 We're going to have dinners every night. What was that about?

Speaker 8 It's pretty much a known thing that families that eat together have much better communication and stuff.

Speaker 8 I hear friends of mine talking about, you know, they've made one thing for Johnny because he's going to do this when he gets home from this sport.

Speaker 8 They're going to do it when they come home from this sport. And they never sit down and eat together or everything they're eating is pre-made from the supermarket or from Costco or whatever.

Speaker 8 And I'm like,

Speaker 8 I can see that in a pinch, but no, we sat down. That's when we had conversations and we talked to each other.
And I often said that, you know, I talked to friends of mine.

Speaker 8 I had the feeling they didn't understand, they didn't know their own kids because they didn't know who their kids' friends were.

Speaker 8 And I'm like, I'm on a first-name basis with most of my daughter's friends.

Speaker 28 You wouldn't know their names.

Speaker 28 You don't know their first names.

Speaker 8 Well, they can't tell them apart.

Speaker 8 You know, her two best friends don't look anything like each other, but to me, I, you know, white girls with brown hair.

Speaker 81 Is it Alyssa or is it Leah?

Speaker 29 I don't know.

Speaker 54 It's one of them.

Speaker 61 I'll speak vaguely about either of them

Speaker 12 until I figure it out.

Speaker 13 That's really how we connect in our household is through dinners, but also, and that's a big message I always have is our comfort through food.

Speaker 13 And how my mom is an extraordinary cook, as you know, but that is how we come together at the end of the day. with the best quality food and like how much joy it brings us as a family.

Speaker 12 But it's just the whole process also.

Speaker 12 It's just the process of, you know doing the mise-on-plus and getting things you know ready to cook and then the cooking part and then the eating part and then the cleaning up part the being together the conversations throughout all of it

Speaker 12 there's talking and you don't look I have to look at each other the whole time. Right.
Like that's why what parents say like, you know, oh the best conversations I have with my kids are in the car.

Speaker 12 It's because you're actually just you know you don't have to

Speaker 37 interesting.

Speaker 12 And that's the same thing. Like what you guys were doing, I was, you know, we were talking, we were doing

Speaker 69 homework, we're doing this, we're effinging the dishwasher.

Speaker 54 Yeah. Conversations.

Speaker 11 And you learn conversation skills, learn people's skills.

Speaker 69 I remember sitting around that table, it's like, you can float any idea by these people that I love and trust and like hold space for me to, you know, learn and grow.

Speaker 28 You also can start, you learn how to riff a bit. You learn how to be funny.

Speaker 64 And you got to learn how to like take up space at the table.

Speaker 25 I remember sometimes when like, no one's asked me a question. And I would just sit there quietly and I wouldn't say anything.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, who's going to notice that? Because we are the ones who are.

Speaker 75 Because

Speaker 75 supplying info.

Speaker 49 It's like, no one's going to wait for you.

Speaker 20 Yeah, yeah. You have to put yourself in it.

Speaker 11 Put yourself in it. That's nice, right?

Speaker 82 That's good. Yeah.

Speaker 12 And she got very good at it.

Speaker 10 She got good at it.

Speaker 29 She got good at it.

Speaker 69 But you learned it. You had to workshop stuff at the table with each other.

Speaker 50 You bomb a couple of jokes, you know, you learn from it.

Speaker 26 You move on.

Speaker 29 It's all good.

Speaker 29 It's special.

Speaker 13 For other parents out there, what's like a piece of advice you would give them to raise, people call us like confident, they call us empowered. What's an advice you can say to them?

Speaker 12 Love your partner first.

Speaker 81 Yeah, well, thank you.

Speaker 8 That's a big part.

Speaker 8 But it's raising kids with praise, but honesty.

Speaker 8 You know, I mean, not some people, I think there's praise, praise, praise. Well, there's praise, but there's also, well, you could have done it this way, you could have done it that way.

Speaker 8 But some people are very critical all the time. And I can think of some people that not you, not looking at you, not looking at you.

Speaker 29 No, I didn't get that.

Speaker 14 I thought I was catching you astray.

Speaker 29 Family. Family.

Speaker 8 We know some babies, people that are super critical of their kids or people who refuse to

Speaker 8 say praise, you know, be praiseful of the things that deserve to be praised. And it's, it's just a balance and being as honest as you can.
We all make mistakes as parents and we all try to go ahead.

Speaker 8 And all of our friends who raise, you know, have raised strong families, I think they've all just, the secret is to try.

Speaker 13 Mama, your advice?

Speaker 12 My advice is.

Speaker 13 For For raising, and you raised three girls. So your advice for like raising girls to be confident women who are.

Speaker 12 I always thought it was really important that you guys would feel comfortable coming to me with whatever question that you had and that I would never say, oh, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 46 No, we're not going to talk about that.

Speaker 12 Yeah. I think that you guys were, you know, the happy recipients of many a lecture about.

Speaker 12 Things that you were like, well, I just wanted to know one thing and you got it.

Speaker 29 We

Speaker 12 communication was always there and that you guys hopefully still to this day feel comfortable to come and ask any question.

Speaker 13 So I also feel like with you guys, it was never a don't do this. Like, don't do drugs, don't drink.
It was like almost, you can do it, but you got to be smart about it. Or not saying you can do it.

Speaker 13 It's just, that's something that you're going to come across. Here's what can happen.

Speaker 13 Yeah, let me make sure that it's going to be your choice to make, which almost took the fun out of it yeah i was like

Speaker 75 oh so i can drink with you guys

Speaker 12 but then you know you throw a couple of stories from the er in there and yeah that gets you

Speaker 73 yeah yeah yeah changes the tune really things you guys wouldn't let us do i was telling a story recently how uh one birthday i wanted a record player Dad sat me down and he was like, this is a dark path to go down.

Speaker 20 This is a dark path.

Speaker 64 Physical media in the year 2015, it's just a waste of time and it's a waste of money and you really shouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 Why is that?

Speaker 31 Like I was a troubled kid.

Speaker 69 I am so sorry to disappoint you.

Speaker 74 I recently acquired a record machine vinyl player that is now in my living room.

Speaker 57 But it was free.

Speaker 8 Yeah, and have you plugged it in yet?

Speaker 29 No. No.
No, I didn't think so. I know.

Speaker 79 But it's sitting there.

Speaker 13 You probably realize our dad doesn't have many opinions. He's a pretty chill dude.

Speaker 11 He has no thoughts or feelings on many things.

Speaker 8 This is very hard to lightly held, strongly expressed opinions.

Speaker 17 Lightly held.

Speaker 69 That's brilliant.

Speaker 44 But I mean, this is what we talked about too, where it's like, I wonder what's going on with this.

Speaker 31 Dad will have a correct opinion on it.

Speaker 32 Bring him up.

Speaker 54 Most likely correct.

Speaker 8 Oftentimes my answer is very,

Speaker 8 it's both, it's gray. It's not black or white.
Right.

Speaker 10 I'll give you the what is.

Speaker 8 Well, there's this and there's this. I'm not, I'm not, you know, usually I'm not a one-way or the highway kind of guy.
It's, there's good and there's bad to so many.

Speaker 12 I was the one that was like when they had to write a paper.

Speaker 29 Oh, me. All three of us.

Speaker 14 Especially me.

Speaker 73 I was huge. Because I had so many political science classes.

Speaker 12 and you would like, you know, write stuff down and ask them.

Speaker 25 Yeah, I'd ring him up and I'd be like, hold on, I'm taking notes.

Speaker 13 You want to know something about the Civil War?

Speaker 17 That's your guy.

Speaker 83 That's your man.

Speaker 13 Talk to my guy over there on the counter guy.

Speaker 8 He asked me questions about the Soviet Union or something.

Speaker 22 Or Ottoman Empire.

Speaker 45 You want something about the French and Indian War?

Speaker 33 Forget about it.

Speaker 34 Praise on

Speaker 43 your guy for it.

Speaker 48 Whereas if you need a craft

Speaker 44 ASAP overnight, this is your woman.

Speaker 13 I have a funny story about that.

Speaker 13 So in my.

Speaker 12 this is like the quintessential, you know, hovering mom who does everything

Speaker 13 in my English class. We're reading Lord of the Flies, and I'm like, Well, I had to do like a book project or something like that.
And I was like, Mom, can you just?

Speaker 13 I can, I did not like English. I don't really, you know, didn't like what we were doing.
But it's like, mom, can you just please cut me out a circle?

Speaker 13 I'm gonna make it look like a clock face and it'll be fine. I'm just gonna paint on it.

Speaker 60 I get home, no lie.

Speaker 13 She's made a full-on grandfather clock out of cardboard with a moving pendulum, too, right?

Speaker 16 I go home.

Speaker 10 I was like,

Speaker 53 Mom, what?

Speaker 41 She's got a glue gun

Speaker 82 and a vision.

Speaker 12 Give me a glue gun and anything, and I can make you whatever.

Speaker 60 And then I painted on it or something like that.

Speaker 12 Yeah, and the children saw that and went, yeah.

Speaker 10 There's no way I want to do that.

Speaker 35 You did that a couple times, too, where she, I would just, mom, please, and then I'd be left with this.

Speaker 58 Hey, one time, we've already said this before, but my Halloween costume when I went as eve oh god and you she got a body colored suit and then just glued leaves on it and i was eve from adam and eve going to a catholic school christmas or a halloween party in this nude tight skin tight suit outfit saying with leaves with a snake over it

Speaker 31 the leaves in in the very uh yeah important places looking back that's crazy hilarious that was the 2000s alona right

Speaker 23 me and a lugan is there a way that we

Speaker 31 your girls are different as adults than we were as, you know, kids?

Speaker 50 Or are we like kind of exactly the same?

Speaker 12 Like, was there any kind of progression or Olivia's always been like the the oldest child. She's always been like the leader.
She's been the, you know, she stripes.

Speaker 12 She always, you know, uh got great grades. All three of you guys got great, but she was like, you know, she always set the the bar.
Ilona was the quiet one.

Speaker 12 She, if she is com really, in my opinion, very different than what she was.

Speaker 8 Yeah, if anybody had said to me that Ilona is going to be a very famous, outgoing person

Speaker 8 who was just very outgoing, that's, yeah, that's not what would have been predicted.

Speaker 13 People don't believe me. I was socially awkward.
Interesting girl. And I was an interesting girl.

Speaker 14 Interesting figure.

Speaker 8 So I thought we thought you were introverted, but you were just an

Speaker 8 extrovert who was shy. Yes.
And that can be easily be a thing, yeah.

Speaker 13 I didn't feel comfortable in many places, in many areas, especially like on my sports teams, I didn't feel comfortable with the girls. I was a great athlete, but didn't feel comfortable.

Speaker 13 So I think it took finding a space like rugby, and I would say, especially the USA 7s team, when I really felt like, okay, this is my space. But yeah, guys, I was really a very quiet person.

Speaker 13 I still to this day, like, I'm not as quick to say like jokes as my sisters are when we're at home, I'd say.

Speaker 13 But I'm not, and I'm not as funny as them, but but yes, I think I have changed.

Speaker 13 I think it was always in me, but I was, I've always was suppressed it and I was never felt comfortable because if I don't feel comfortable, I won't be myself.

Speaker 74 So, that is a big change from childhood to today.

Speaker 35 What was Livy's biggest change?

Speaker 12 Livia just has always had this incredible trajectory that's just, you know, she just builds on whatever she has built and makes it better. And just,

Speaker 12 you know,

Speaker 12 it's amazing, you know. And Livia is also one that, you know, when she puts her teeth into something, she will do it to the fullest

Speaker 74 exactly right there.

Speaker 12 Like when she um in the in the car over here, I was telling them about um Michael and Olivia went to a baseball game and the um Vermont uh no uh Miss Vermont you Miss Vermont was there and she you know probably lopped out the first um uh baseball and Olivia sat there and was like

Speaker 12 I could do that So that then uh parlayed itself into four months of a rabbit um consumption of pageant um

Speaker 12 info, rules, lore, buying hair extensions, and knowing how to do and fancy heels, and really do get into the base, and then the butt glue, and then

Speaker 12 the different bikinis that were the ones that you needed to get because blah blah. And we ended up going to Montreal to find your,

Speaker 12 and then

Speaker 12 she goes and does the pageant and you know, gets you know.

Speaker 46 A bunch of runner-ups in this family.

Speaker 8 First runner-up and misphotogenic, too.

Speaker 12 Yeah, most photogenic.

Speaker 54 Yeah. Most photogenic.

Speaker 43 But I get that from you.

Speaker 63 Like, you find something you love and you're like,

Speaker 63 you know, or then you're like, I'll love this for the next while and this is what we're going to do. So

Speaker 13 now we got to talk to the baby over here.

Speaker 8 I'll tell you one thing, maybe not from, but like from, you know, the time of high school, you were the one who wanted to be anywhere else, you know. Oh, to hang around with you people.

Speaker 8 Why don't you go to take on a trip and I'll just stay home? Or if you're at home, why don't I go somewhere else? and you tried like hell to get on all these different exchange programs

Speaker 8 and you got to the final stages of several and couldn't and then you didn't get into them and so you talked the local rotary into restarting their edition of the national the international rotary program and you ended up going overseas for a long time i mean they did it

Speaker 8 it was great and and you did that and then again in college you went overseas again but now i think of the as a homebody you're the the one who most enjoys being at home, right?

Speaker 12 That's what I think.

Speaker 80 I think so.

Speaker 81 And that's interesting.

Speaker 29 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 69 Dre was cool. We've said it before.

Speaker 80 Aldrana was cool.

Speaker 44 Lon and I were very quiet and shy, and we didn't talk to many people.

Speaker 74 Whereas Adriana had a more public school trajectory, I'd say.

Speaker 69 And so she

Speaker 23 got it.

Speaker 63 She kind of washed up.

Speaker 41 She peaked.

Speaker 26 Best days were literally the best days of body.

Speaker 13 I will say at times, I think dad and Adriana, they didn't go not not after each other, but like Adriana was always wanted to do something else. So we played the same sports together.

Speaker 13 And then when Adriana got to high school, she wanted to try different things. She always wanted to do swimming, but they didn't have a swim team.
So she's like,

Speaker 13 she sets her mind to a path and she does it.

Speaker 8 Well, sometimes I'd drop her off at the YMCA because she wanted to go swimming.

Speaker 8 But what would you do instead?

Speaker 29 I would go to the library.

Speaker 55 Loser.

Speaker 19 You'd go read?

Speaker 25 Okay, usually, it's not all the time I did that. Most of the time I did swim.

Speaker 9 Sometimes I cut my swims off early so I could go to the library and read.

Speaker 69 The times you didn't swim, would you like wet your hair under the library sink so that when dad picked you up?

Speaker 12 Because she is smart that way, don't you?

Speaker 29 She is smart. I don't remember

Speaker 29 exactly. Cunning.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Like, you'd think I'd notice.

Speaker 71 Yeah, right.

Speaker 30 You'd be like, oh, they have a blow dryer down there.

Speaker 13 I can make him believe anything.

Speaker 75 How exciting.

Speaker 13 You're right. He wouldn't know.
He'd be like, great. We're going to play a special edition of Sister Settle It.
We're putting mom and dad in the hot seat, but the girls can counter.

Speaker 25 Okay, so you're going to point.

Speaker 8 Oh, yeah, you'd never do that in real life.

Speaker 26 No.

Speaker 26 Never argue.

Speaker 64 You guys are going to point and then say whose eye it is that you think it is.

Speaker 73 Okay.

Speaker 69 So, who was the bossiest child?

Speaker 13 They're all pointing at Olivia.

Speaker 64 Say the name too, though.

Speaker 29 Oh, Olivia. Olivia.

Speaker 62 What the hell?

Speaker 19 Why?

Speaker 13 Are you bossy or are you the boss, dude?

Speaker 12 You are the organized one. No, no, you are.
You're not bossy, but you are the

Speaker 9 She's a quintessential older sister.

Speaker 39 She's bossy.

Speaker 45 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 64 Sometimes I've had arguments with her recently.

Speaker 41 You zip it!

Speaker 25 It's so common of like how we speak to each other where she won't be like, please like move to the side.

Speaker 64 She just means like move to the side.

Speaker 58 Ideally, you two have interesting communication.

Speaker 12 Yeah, and it's fun. It's fun to be a, you know, to be a part of.
Sorry.

Speaker 64 So I would say you're the bossiest, but not like a bad bossy.

Speaker 63 Right.

Speaker 74 I'm a get stuff done kind of boss.

Speaker 9 Who was the messiest?

Speaker 10 Ilona. I was Ilona, yeah.

Speaker 79 Dad, can you expand upon that?

Speaker 12 Oh, good lord. You can't walk in her room without tripping over something.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 13 First off, when I come home, I bring a lot of stuff home.

Speaker 13 And I check many bags.

Speaker 13 So that's why.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 13 That's my space. That's my aunt.

Speaker 15 Growing up, though, too, she was the messiest.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 12 No,

Speaker 12 no, you were a different kind of mess. You were, no, it goes one, two, and immaculate.

Speaker 22 Immaculate?

Speaker 26 She's not

Speaker 41 immaculate.

Speaker 58 Immaculate, mom.

Speaker 2 May I bring up the case of her organizing the garage?

Speaker 75 Oh, let's bring up that case. No, let's talk about that.

Speaker 14 That's crazy.

Speaker 12 They got you on the garage.

Speaker 59 I was wildly depressed and not okay.

Speaker 42 I don't care. Let's start there.

Speaker 13 In the upstairs of our garage, we have a ton of boxes of old DVDs because our man's over here. Mr.

Speaker 2 Physical Media himself.

Speaker 13 Physical media himself. One day, Olivia goes, I'm going to sort out the garage.
This was probably 10 years ago. Oh,

Speaker 13 more, maybe?

Speaker 28 That's when I got back from the Netherlands, yeah.

Speaker 13 She goes to sort out the garage to this day.

Speaker 13 To this day, it is not sorted. There's boxes everywhere where she started and, but that's actually a trait of moms.
Yeah.

Speaker 54 Yeah.

Speaker 13 That's a trait of mom's mom's mom.

Speaker 44 And she harps on me the worst about it because that's something she does.

Speaker 22 Exactly it. Okay.

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 8 Well, when your mother's on a tear, I know sometimes doing so. I know she hasn't eaten.
I got to get some food in her. But if she's cleaning really well, I'll wait.

Speaker 13 You wait with the egg and toast.

Speaker 26 Oh, there you go.

Speaker 55 Oh, she's really getting into those crevices.

Speaker 29 That refrigerator is going to look really good when she's shining.

Speaker 35 I'm not the one cleaning the fridge.

Speaker 42 He's throwing out the food in the fridge.

Speaker 58 Oh, but I clean it.

Speaker 8 I remove stuff.

Speaker 8 She's the one who cleans it.

Speaker 69 I mean, we also say that about our house.

Speaker 12 That yogurt is fine.

Speaker 37 Say yogurt. You can't throw it out.

Speaker 62 It's unfreaking believable.

Speaker 69 In our house, we like to say it's lived in.

Speaker 63 Like, we, it is not

Speaker 74 like immaculate in that way.

Speaker 23 We are, we live there. People live there.
They love there.

Speaker 63 They, you know, all those things.

Speaker 69 So it would, you know, it gets messy from time to time.

Speaker 50 But the fix for that is you promise your daughters pizza delivery.

Speaker 14 Domino's pizza.

Speaker 37 Domino's pizza delivery.

Speaker 60 And it means everything needs to be cleaned.

Speaker 23 Everything needs to be put away. You got a vacuum.

Speaker 66 You got a vacuum. Ugh.
Vacuuming. That's worse.

Speaker 49 You got a vacuum and then there will be a pizza.

Speaker 13 What are you saying?

Speaker 16 Say it again.

Speaker 16 I was just in vacuum.

Speaker 13 She says vacuum.

Speaker 58 Vacuum.

Speaker 14 The hell is that?

Speaker 13 The fuck is that?

Speaker 31 Vacuum.

Speaker 58 Vacuum. Vacuum.

Speaker 13 You're throwing peas at me, man.

Speaker 26 Vacuum.

Speaker 58 Vacuum.

Speaker 8 But I just remember something we were cleaning. This is, you know, later on, but we would be cleaning sometimes like that because somebody's coming over.

Speaker 8 And Olivia especially would be quoting that there was a woman on the internet who did it where she's urging her family on, like, I need this house to be as clean as a Disney and I show.

Speaker 60 It's not a woman. It's the comedian

Speaker 34 Chris Fleming.

Speaker 2 A video he did forever and a day ago on YouTube.

Speaker 44 Yeah,

Speaker 29 fantastic.

Speaker 41 If you haven't made your beds yet, throw them away.

Speaker 22 Yeah, it's the same, like, throw the chairs out.

Speaker 59 We can't let them know we said.

Speaker 16 We can't let them know we said

Speaker 8 because we knew like Oman Oprah coming to town because back when they lived out of town, let's attack it, and we could get so much done in the world.

Speaker 81 But it would always start with critique.

Speaker 82 We're having dominoes for dinner.

Speaker 80 You have to clean the house.

Speaker 10 You have to clean everything.

Speaker 10 Anyway.

Speaker 26 Works everywhere.

Speaker 22 We hear dominoes in the sartoons.

Speaker 13 Who was the night owl?

Speaker 74 Adriana. Yes.

Speaker 26 I was about to say, yes. Oh, okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 61 Like, you read well into the night.

Speaker 74 Well, yeah.

Speaker 11 Like, even with my time change, like, you obviously live in New York, so you're three hours ahead.

Speaker 82 I'm like, I'm calculating. I'm like, ah, she'll still be up.

Speaker 54 She'll be up.

Speaker 79 It's one in the morning. She's going to be up.

Speaker 73 She'll be up. And then she'll call me at like midnight.
And it's the one night I've like went to bed a little early.

Speaker 34 And I'm like, why the fuck?

Speaker 82 And I'm pissed that she's asleep too.

Speaker 20 I'm so pissed you woke me up.

Speaker 11 Who was the first one to cry if they got in trouble?

Speaker 12 I didn't get in trouble much.

Speaker 12 You were more emotional.

Speaker 29 I'm going to go with Olivia.

Speaker 83 I feel like that's me.

Speaker 12 Olivia, you know, she was such a perfectionist and she wanted things done and she wanted to do it right and she wanted to be. And if so, if you called her out on something that was

Speaker 80 fine, because I think it might be me.

Speaker 82 Sorry, I lead with emotion in my heart on my sleeve.

Speaker 54 Exactly, baby.

Speaker 13 Let's settle this once and for all. And you have to be honest,

Speaker 13 who is the funniest?

Speaker 12 I'm not that.

Speaker 26 You have to answer it.

Speaker 8 You have to settle it once and for all a few years ago.

Speaker 70 Times change, man. Nope.

Speaker 13 Don't keep it. Times change.

Speaker 59 Sure. Times change, man.

Speaker 39 What did you say, Day?

Speaker 8 So, well, at that point, I said Adriana. Of course, at that point, you were living back home again.
And of course, when you're close, she knows how to really get me.

Speaker 39 I mean, she, you know, she

Speaker 8 sticks the fork in and twists, you know, in a comment, I'll say something.

Speaker 8 But you guys are all so funny in different ways. And especially funny in media is different than funny across the dinner table.

Speaker 8 You know, I don't think Alona, for instance, you're hysterical on media, but you're not going to have the quickest comeback across the mashed potatoes about something that was said, right?

Speaker 23 But feel like it. I will.

Speaker 24 You know?

Speaker 79 Sometimes.

Speaker 29 Right? I'm going to say you're all funny.

Speaker 26 Okay, You guys are all funny.

Speaker 8 You know, I've always said that humor takes intelligence. You show me people who don't get jokes.

Speaker 8 They're not necessarily the smartest people in the room. And so I think the fact that you guys are all so funny shows there's a certain level of intelligence cranked.

Speaker 74 You're going to come to me on the day of my New York City marathon

Speaker 69 and tell me Adriana's the funniest.

Speaker 11 Look, he threw his head back and laughed right there.

Speaker 13 That's great. He didn't.
He said that he spent more time with her. That's why.
If you'd been living in there, too. And as I've said before,

Speaker 64 my type of humor is more geared towards him, right?

Speaker 12 But also, all three of you guys have made your father laugh so much that he's almost passed out.

Speaker 14 Yeah, he's famous for that.

Speaker 54 He's not to breathe when he laughs.

Speaker 13 If I'm not gonna be the funnest, am I the smartest?

Speaker 8 Well, as in the Wizard of Oz, you know, they distill pieces of paper to prove who's smart, and you do have more pieces of paper in that regard.

Speaker 61 In the Wizard of Oz,

Speaker 17 fucking sucker.

Speaker 13 Fuck you, Adriana. I am the smartest.

Speaker 8 If I only had a brain.

Speaker 54 I am the smartest.

Speaker 13 I have one more question for you all. So 32 years of marriage, right?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Yes, my wife says so, yes.

Speaker 12 Okay. He has to take off his ring to look at the date on the inside because engraved in there.

Speaker 46 Right.

Speaker 13 Okay, 32. 32.
What was the date of it? You got this.

Speaker 8 June. It was in June.

Speaker 26 It was a lovely.

Speaker 32 It was a lovely June wedding. June 26th.

Speaker 33 June 26th. Okay.

Speaker 13 He had to check with Adriana there.

Speaker 8 Her birthday is July 14th.

Speaker 37 He only knows that because it's Bastille Day and he's a history guy.

Speaker 29 He doesn't know the year, though. People are revolutionary.

Speaker 31 So 32 years of marriage.

Speaker 13 How have you done it?

Speaker 13 What's the advice for us as we're looking and

Speaker 13 you guys are still in love and happy? Of course, you have your differences, but tell us a little about that.

Speaker 8 Well, getting back to child raising, one thing I want to say is that we tried to have an agreement, which sometimes we'd have to work on, is no unilateral decisions.

Speaker 8 Like, not one of us could make this

Speaker 8 unilateral decision that we will never do this, or it must always, but we don't, no, we agreed that we're going to talk about that sort of thing.

Speaker 12 I was the one that did it.

Speaker 8 So it was like, no, we've agreed. So we'd come to a compromise.
No, because the worst thing is if one partner makes a rule, the other partner doesn't agree to, and then they...

Speaker 8 then they disagree about it later on, that's not good. So it's like it was, we would try to always talk about these things in advance to then make rules.

Speaker 31 A house divided cannot stand.

Speaker 8 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 81 Yes.

Speaker 8 Thank you, Abraham.

Speaker 12 Welcome. But I also think that the very important part was that I think we realized that our relationship had to be strong and good and respected and nurtured

Speaker 8 first

Speaker 12 with you guys being nurtured immediately or almost at the same time after. Because if we if you don't have because now that you guys are gone, you know, we're here we are stuck with each other.

Speaker 46 We're stuck with each other.

Speaker 29 Thank God, we like each other. Right.

Speaker 70 And we enjoy each other.

Speaker 12 But if you don't nurture that in the years where you're mad taking care of three active children and work and your parents that are aging and all that stuff, then you have a very, very high probability of losing touch with each other.

Speaker 12 And building that back up again is difficult when you get older.

Speaker 8 Raising kids is the most amazing thing.

Speaker 8 You see these things on these internet, people that are gloating about the fact that they can do this because they don't have kids. We've got money that don't have kids.

Speaker 8 I'm like, I would have a crapload of money

Speaker 8 in the bank right now if I didn't raise kids, but I would be so much poorer.

Speaker 29 I mean,

Speaker 8 our life is so rich because of you three.

Speaker 8 And not just because you were out doing your thing, but you just make us and you keep us crowned. And I'm so rich because of you three that we would do it all over again.

Speaker 12 I work on making him a little less rich sometimes, but

Speaker 54 as is your job as a woman.

Speaker 15 As a woman should.

Speaker 80 As a woman, she should.

Speaker 11 Make his pockets hurt.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 13 Don't worry, I got y'all later on, though.

Speaker 29 You keep taking this money, mama.

Speaker 8 I go. I mean, do your viewers realize that your mother works a bunch when they call for overtime at the hospital.
If there's babies coming out, she drops the phone and just flies.

Speaker 13 Well, yeah, and that's the little thing. So, mama, you're a nurse.
You've been a nurse for

Speaker 12 I'm in my 39th year.

Speaker 46 Woo! Wow.

Speaker 22 39 years of nursing. nursing.

Speaker 69 Birthing babies and saving people in the emergency room.

Speaker 83 Yeah.

Speaker 54 That's incredible.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 29 And you to bank?

Speaker 8 What? Yeah. I do financial stuff.

Speaker 75 Finance.

Speaker 54 Our dad's a finance bro.

Speaker 8 After packaged media went to hell. Right.

Speaker 26 Packaged media.

Speaker 8 Talking about movies is a lot more fun than talking about

Speaker 8 interest rates.

Speaker 39 You have a blast in the basement talking about credit scores.

Speaker 54 I hear you down there.

Speaker 23 You get a right good giggle out of it, don't you?

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 13 Well, mom, dad, thank you so, so much for coming on to House of Mars.

Speaker 13 Pretty much your house. We learned so much from you.
And I think one thing dad always says is the most thing he's proud of is not the Olympics. It's not pageants.

Speaker 13 It's not, you know, study abroad and the person we've become. It's the people we are

Speaker 13 and

Speaker 13 how kind, how funny, and nice we are. So I love that we get to share that with all of you and you get to hear a little bit about them.
I hope you learned something. Yeah.

Speaker 13 Because they are somebody you can really learn from. There are some quotable moments there.

Speaker 11 Would you guys come back?

Speaker 69 Would you visit us again?

Speaker 8 Yeah, but next time, don't wait till I'm in a strange city, having traveled for five, six days or whatever it is, with just carry-on clothes and then say, oh, you're going to be on camera. Yes, sir.
