You've been asking fun and lighthearted questions about her likes (and dislikes)...so these are a few of Shannen's favorite things!From her favorite drug store buy, to the TV show that lulls her to sleep at night, and the dessert she says you HAVE TO TRY!
This is Let's be Clear with Shannon Doherty. Hi, welcome to Let's be Clear with Shannon Doherty. All right, so guys, normally I talk about, you know, either my career, past, present, maybe future, or I talk about things that really resonate with me personally, for instance, cancer, divorce, relationships, ex boyfriends, you name it. We kind of cover it, and certainly we have a lot more to cover, and we will, especially getting into the coming weeks, probably have a lot of new updates for everyone. But today I wanted to try something a little different, and I also wanted to, you know, make sure that sometimes there's episodes that are uplifting and just informative random questions that people ask me. Yes, we do Q and a's, but people have specifically asked me like what are my favorite things to do? My favorite TV shows, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm going to start with some of these questions and then I'll probably, as I always do, go off on a little bit of a tangent. So here we are what TV show do you love? But you are embarrassed to admit? That's a hard one for me because I don't really have any problem admitting things you know, like if I watch a reality show, I'm not embarrassed by it. I got to tell you, my mom and I are big family feud people, and we love, you know, answering before anybody presses the buzzer hopefully we love the last bit where you know, you go and you give like five answers. So family feud. But I'm not really embarrassed that I like family feud. I love watching Family Feud, and like People Puzzler and some of those. I just think that they're cool. And also I like keeping my brain very active, especially because I do have mets in my brain. I'm always worried and because I had brain surgeries you guys know in January two thousand and twenty three. I really like to constantly keep my brain going and challenging and doing puzzles and stuff of that nature. So for me, I show like People Puzzler or Family Feud doesn't seem like something I would worry about admitting, or that I'm embarrassed to admit. I got to say I've probably watched Sex in the City. I don't know how many times. It's so soothing to me. I put it on at night and I'm now up to season I don't even know what, but I literally watch it over and over and over again because it's just one of those shows. It's like Seinfeld to me that I can relax to and I don't have to overthink things. In general, I have TV shows that I love, but I'm not you know, they're nothing embarrassing. Succession was one of my favorite shows, and The Veil, I think now is one of my favorite shows. So not embarrassed to admit things. For sure, I'm not a real Housewives person. The only time I got into that was the year that a friend of mine, Diana Jenkins, was on and I watched it for her. And I've never been a big bachelor person. I know that's everybody's guilty pleasure, not mine. What movie could you see over and over again and never get tired of? Ooh? Pride and Prejudice Joe Wright was the director. Kiera Knightley. I have seen that movie so many times. It's ridiculous. I absolutely love it. And Stepbrothers. Oh, whenever I need to laugh, I watch step Brothers. It's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. And I always look at people and go, did we just become best friends. So there's that too. Do you like to bargain shop, and so what's your favorite store. I do like to bargain shop. I do a lot of bargain shopping for home stuff. I think I've mentioned to you guys that like one of my things that I love to do is in tier design. I if I was uber wealthy, I would just buy houses and flip them and flip them and flow them just for the opportunity to decorate them and do interior design. And I just find that so many people la New York, Miami all over the world, but particularly in those big, huge cities, they spend a fortune on furniture and on making it seem lived in or whatever, and because they go to all these high end stores and you really don't have to. Antique shopping is one of my favorite things. Bargains shopping. I love that. As far as clothes go, you know, I used to be a big vintage girl. I am not so much so anymore. There's still a couple of vintage stores I will go to as far as clothing goes, but it's just so I can get a really good deal on like a Chanel skirt or something of that nature. But for the most part, when it comes to clothing, I do a lot of my shopping online. Now there's you know, Netta Portee and my Teresa and places like that where I can buy high end and there's no problem with sending it back if it doesn't fit or whatever. But and T shirts. They now make so many cool vintage T shirts that you can buy online as well. So a lot of my personal clothing is online. But definitely for design and for house I do the majority of that. I mean, yes, I go to stores. I always bargainshop you guys like I always negotiate. I don't care if it's a high end store or not. I'm always like, you want what for this? No, I actually think it should be priced at this. Here's what I'll give you. I'm forever doing that, just because the markup and stores is so huge. But you know, I also really like to go to smaller stores. I don't like big, huge chain stores. I think that. But COVID was a real issue, and it took out so many of our mom and pop stores, and we people went out of business. They lost their jobs, they lost they lost homes, they lost because their business had to close. So many restaurants, stores, all of that that I really have a big thing about supporting those stores. Those stores I don't really negotiate with as much because I want them to succeed. But you know, there's always a little room for negotiation. I think, all right, let's see, so what's my favorite store. There's just too many of them. There's a place called Dandelion and something which is on Abbot, Kenney and Venice for like knick knacks and some pieces of furniture and rugs, which I love. There's Big Daddy's Antiques, which I'm obsessed with. There's you know, there's huge sort of markets. They're not called markets, they're not called festivals, they're whatever they're called. Like the one in Roundtop in Texas is one where you go and it's all these different sort of antique dealers or just dealers in general that have all these little different stands. And I love going to places like that to just find something really unique. I'm gonta find gifts, and I'll buy gifts way ahead of time for Christmas or for somebody's birthday. If I see something that resonates with me that I know that they're gonna like, I love doing that. I do have a big shoe fetish. I'm a shoe slut, you guys. I love shoes. Unfortunately, I really like high end shoes, either like tennis shoes or high end shoes new in between. What is something that you have to have in your fridge or pantry no matter what Canada dry ginger ail. I'm obsessed with Canada dry ginger all. I don't know why it's clean and I like the taste, but specifically Canada Dry. I always have Gatorade on hand because when I did chemo back in twenty sixteen, I was so dehydrated and they were having to do ivs on me constantly, and I couldn't eat and I was throwing up all the time. And I found that if I did gatorade in ice cube trays and froze it, that I could tolerate sucking on an ice cube that was a Gatorade ice cube and it would hydrate me enough give me the electrolytes that I needed. So I always keep it close by just in case I'm sick or or you know, just dehydrated. I always have the little cut oranges. I keep them in the refrigerator because I like them really cold, so I always have those. As far as something kind of unhealthy, I always keep milk and cereal because sometimes late at night I get really hungry and I'm too lazy sometimes to cook dinner, and I love a bowl of cereal. I just think it's fantastic. Actually, that's what I've had for two nights in a row for dinner lately. I've been a little lazy this week. All Right, What is something you like to splurge on because it's worth it. Shoes? I really really like to splurge on shoes. Good quality shoes means that I don't have foot issues, They're not pinching my feet, they fit well, they're cable, so I'm big on that. I'm sort of big on skincare in the sense of that I love trying new products all the time. I'm a fan of that, but it doesn't always mean that I'm going to choose something expensive. I've been using Seravey, which you get at a drug store, on my lines, and I've noticed a difference. But then I have a product, a moisturizer that's in my opinion, overpriced, but it works. So skincare, I like to splurge on shoes. I like to splurge on. I like to splurge on my mom. I like spoiling her a lot, and she in turn likes to spoil me as well. And I splurge on dinners. I do like a really good dinner. And obviously I splurge on wine because I do enjoy my wine. And I think some people would say that I splurge on my house, which is true, But to me, that's not a splurge. Right to me, that's an investment. I know that whatever I put into the home, I'm going to be able to sell the house for so much more than I bought it for. So that's always that's not a splurge. That's just a healthy investment. All right, Let's keep going all the places that you've traveled in the world. Is there one country you would consider moving to? Italy? I would love to move to Italy. I would love to move to Africa for like six months to a year and work at a sanctuary. There's an elephant sanctuary. There's a lot of sanctuaries there. I would love to do that as well. My problem always is the same, I'm not going anywhere without my dog. Not long term. I'll go do conventions for a weekend, or I'll go in a trip here and there for you know, four days or a week, but I don't I don't like leaving my dog long periods of time, especially because she's a lot older now and I think she's thirteen or fourteen, and she doesn't walk as well. She's just got a few issues, and I would hate to be out of town when my dog needs to be a rushed to the hospital because I'm yes, she loves my mom and my friends, but she's even when she's being loved one by them, she's always looking at me. I'm her safety net, just like she's my safety net, And so I really want to be here. I would have to buy a seat for her and fly her. Africa is way too far, so I don't think that's happening anytime soon, but maybe Italy. A couple of us have been talking about going there for a week and a half or so and learning how to make homemade pasta really well and pizza do. Even though I really like my pizza do, I know it can be a lot better, and I'm going to learn that from the knowness. So that's something that I've been wanting to do. What's your favorite thing to do on a Sunday morning. Absolutely nothing. I think my brain is constantly going, and I'm usually on my computer every day going through the latest clinical trials, any breakthrough with cancer. I'm always reaching out to new doctors that I hear about and having conversations with them. I think I'm seeking answers for my own health, but also for everybody with cancer for their health. So therefore I spend so much time doing that, and it can be incredibly draining because as you're going through all that research, you're also seeing yourself, Oh my god, is this what I have? Is this what I have? Is like all these new symptoms is And that can be incredibly taxing and heavy and a lot of stress weighing you down. So Sundays I like to wake up in the morning, I fix myself a coffee and I'll play like a little game on my iPad, whether it's a jigsaw puzzle or or crosswords, whatever it is, in order to get my brain to start going. But really I like it to be very, very very quiet. In general. I like things to be quiet. I'm not somebody who blasts music only when my friends are over. I'm not someone who turns on the TV immediately. I like it like this right now, right It's very quiet in my house, and I enjoy that. It gives me time to reflect and to sort of settle into my day, and then my Sunday usually continues. I love to garden. I have an amazing organic garden that I built and I love tenning to it. And now I've just started a whole like rose garden, and I love experimenting with putting different things next to vegetables. So yes, obviously I have the merrygolds and the mint to drive away insects and all of that. But I had read this article that tested tomatoes and there was a tomato plant, well two they both grew very very very well, but the one that was next to the rose bush where they almost intertwined essentially, the tomato tasted different. It tasted a little bit sweeter, it took on more of the tones of a rose. And so I loved doing stuff like that. I love just experimenting and figuring out the best way to grow the natural products to use. Stuff that you can combine in the house, banana peels and water for fertilizing tomatoes or roses or whatever. So that's always a very good Sunday for me, as well as going bargain hunting. That's great. Taking a drive to santy Nez, which is one of my favorite places. It's about an hour and a half from where I live, and going and spending time at Return to Freedom which is up in santin As, and they take in a lot of the wild mustangs that the BLM has rounded up and putting corals, and then eventually those horses end up at a kilpin and get sold for slaughter unless people go and buy them, Like all Seated in the barn is an amazing organization along with Return to Freedom. So I love going to Return to Freedom and just hanging out with Netta, who's the head of it, and walking the grounds or driving the ATV type thing and seeing the horses left alone and hanging out and their bands and their dynamic and taking photos of them. There's one right there behind me that I took and that's a voute you know, wild horse that was at Return of Freedom that let me get semi close to it. Those are my relaxing Sundays or even Saturdays, really Okay, So that was answering trouble of where I would move to, and I'm saying Italy for sure. I just there is something about Italy that I The food, the people, everything about it inspires me. The architecture, the history. You can transport yourself to a different day and age and imagine a totally different life, and I love that. But you can learn so much and learn so much about art and people, and the people that are happy and kind and just they take you in. It's Italy to me is the warmest, biggest hug you can possibly get. And it's not one of the only places. As I said, Africa would be really interesting. I learned a lot when I went to Africa and it definitely changed me as a person. But if I had moved somewhere it would it would it would be Italy. I think an island would drive me crazy. I remember I did a show called north Shore and I had to go live in Hawaii, which sounds like the best thing in the world, and it really was. I was surfing every single day. It was phenomenal. But after a while I got island fever and I was having a fly home constantly just to sort of settle myself and then go back and film some more. So I'm not sure I would pick an island. Saint Barts is probably my favorite island, but I don't think I could. I actually know I could not live there. So that's the moving we address Sunday morning. What's your favorite fast food restaurant? None. I don't like fast food. It doesn't mean I don't have it. On occasion. I sometimes get very rushed and I have to I get really hungry, and when I'm that hungry, and my blood sugar dips, and when my blood sugar dips, I become a little testy. So I have pulled into fast food restaurants. I used to eat a lot of fast food when I was in my twenties, but I think now the only ones I'll really pull into is like a Windy's, and that's drive through. But I also consider like Habit Burger or this dand kind of fast food, and I will go to those on occasion. I love Sharkis, but for the most part, I would rather eat at home because I know that my food is without chemicals, without antibiotics, without I know that my food is none of the stuff that Bill Gates likes to tamper with so you know, I won't buy fruit with appeal on it. That's horrifying to me. Everything that's in appeal is like if you actually read what's in it, you will probably avoid a Bill Gates product for the rest of your life. Along with you know, taking away jobs from our farmers, which I don't approve of. Everything is very bad. So when I make my food at home or certain restaurants that I know very well and I know where they buy from, I just feel healthier. And when I go to a fast food restaurant or I'm serve something that is monsantos or whatever, I end up feeling a little. It's almost like you feel bloated and overfull, Whereas if I'm cooking for myself or at an organic restaurant, none of that happens. And what's crazy is that people think that the organic is so much more expensive, and it's really not. It's knowing where to get the organic and really shopping it out. And if you do shop it out, you'll find that it ends up being the same price to a certain degree, and certainly it saves you. In Doctor Bill Slater, what's your favorite designer? Ah Come on I have too many. I really do have too many. I mean I can go from like low end to high end. On designers. I obviously already mentioned Chanel, which I love, and why sel I love Victoria Beckham. I'm a big fan of There's just so many good designers, and I really admire the designers that years ago said no for that are making an attempt at being sustainable. I really appreciate that. I also love free people and little stores, and by the way, I love going to like Marshals sometimes and TJ Max. It's amazing what you can find at those stores. So designers, there's just that's such a broad question. I just like my clothes to be comfortable at the end of the day and classic. I'm not someone who likes to show a lot of TNA. Am I allowed to say that. I don't need low cut. I don't need, you know, my butt hanging out of a skirt. I'm too old for it. And I also think leaving something to the imagination is way sexier. So it's not necessarily about a designer. It's about what fits me properly. To me, there's nothing like a beautiful pair of trousers and a nice sweater. Yeah, it's dressing with confidence and with comfort and not dressing as if I want every single eye on me, whether it's a good eye or a bad eye. And there's a lot of high end and low end designers that do that really well. Costs is a store. I don't know if it's outside of LA I know it's online cos that I order online from all the time. I love it. And their clothes are affordable but classy. And so there you go. Which holiday do you like to go all out for?
Oh, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. I, as you guys know, in the middle of a divorce and my Christmases were not great because.
My husband was not into Christmas. Christmas was apparently, as I was told, not a big deal in his family, and to my family, Christmas was a huge deal. I mean a the religious aspect of Christmas was a big deal to us, as we're Christians. But it's the joy. It's hanging lights outside, It's going and finding that perfect Christmas tree and deciding whether you want it flocked or not flocked, and the how intricate I can get with putting the lights on the Christmas tree and hanging stock and if you're having guests over, buying stockings and getting their names on them, which sometimes I do with just the you know glue that glitters in different colors, simple things making decorations, but making all the food, making desserts, and planning a Christmas Eve or Christmas big dinner, inviting your friends over. To me, there is nothing like it. I find that almost everybody's attitude is going to be really good Christmas, even Christmas, and they're nice and full. Their bellies, you know, have been filled up by the food. Buying presents for people, whether it be a present for five dollars or a present for one hundred dollars, it doesn't it's the fact that I've already bought it way ahead because of my bargain hunting thing and going to you know, different stores. So when I see something, going back to that, when I see something that strikes me being a particular person, I just go ahead and buy it, and I keep it in a closet so that that becomes their birthday or their Christmas present. And I love seeing people unwrap their Christmas present and them knowing that it's so specific to them, that I know them that well, that I knew one hundred percent something that they would want, that they've been coveting, or something to me just makes me feel good. It's kind of this goes back to this is going slightly off topic, but not really. It goes back to My mom has this thing of where when somebody registers right when they're having a baby or they're getting married, she doesn't like to buy off the registry. She likes to get them something that she feels. And I'm different when somebody registers. I'm like, if they register, this is what they need. I'm not going off of the register and registry. So that is when I buy presents for Christmas. It's because I've given so much thought into that person and I know exactly as if they've registered, I know exactly what they need in their house. Maybe they want to pust a machine, maybe they're looking for an antique face. Whatever it is, I know that they really need it, and when I find it, I buy it. So Christmas, yeah, I just I love decorating. And this last year was a really good Christmas where I got to do a lot of that, and like Holly was here and my friend Mike was here, and we put up the tree, it's just fun. It just it's festive and it it I don't know. It makes me smile a lot. So definitely, definitely definitely Christmas. What is my favorite dessert? Every dessert? Oh god, So I actually make one of my favorite desserts, which is a panacotta. I'm not going to tell you what's in it because I made it up and it's really delicious. But I also do with the panacotta, I do this sort of BlackBerry I guess the technical term would be gooli and that's one of my favorite desserts. My friend Christy, who owns Christie's Cafe, makes the best trace liches cake I've ever had. That's one of my favorites. I love. There's this dessert that comes in a little glass jar and it's Copa de aura is the name of it. It's like a crispy bottom, dark chocolate milk, chocolate, white chocolate cream. Oh my god, this dessert is so amazing. And what's crazy is I used to not be a dessert person at all, and now I love dessert and maybe and I know dessert's really bad when you have cancer because it's sugar. So I try not to eat dessert that often. But there's also moments in your life where I think it's okay to spoil yourself, whether it's great for you or not. I know that this happened with my dad a lot when he was really sick, and there was always a discussion about his diet. But towards the end, when you knew things were pretty bad, there were moments where it was like, no, let him have shrimp scampy, let him have his favorite foods. Yes, not every day, but you also want quality of life to be great, particularly when you're dying, particularly when you have a terminal disease. Everybody should try to go for quality of life because you never know how long you're going to be on this earth for before we pass on to a better place. But so I will. I will spoil myself with desserts sometimes. And oh, how can I forget one of my other favorite desserts, well, two other favorites is so I told you guys already about my love of ginger ale, but I love taking vanilla ice cream and with ginger ale over the vanilla ice cream, it is delicious. It's like the best float ever. I like it better than root beer, and I also like doing the same thing with orange sherbet. There you go. Do you have a favorite rom com? Dy one would take me forever to think about. I love rum coms because it also brings up a lot of warmth, like in your heart. It brings up a lot of warmth, and I like movies like that. I also like really serious movies. But for the most part, especially since being diagnosed with cancer, I find that all I want to do is watch stuff that makes me laugh because the rest of life is so hard and you're constantly worried that to be able to turn your brain off for an hour and a half to two hours and just laugh is incredibly important, and laughter is the best medicine, right, so I do. There's just too many rom coms out there. I obviously love Sandra Bullock. There's just people that are funny without even trying. And I'm going to think about that one, like if there's a specific one, and I'll name it, But it's not, you know, like step Brothers and Pride and Prejudice come to mind immediately, but so does Godfather too, by the way, I've watched that twenty one times, I think. But a rom com I would really have to think that through. Like I know offhand the Sandra Bullock Ryan Reynolds one, I think it was called The Proposal. I loved that movie. What is your favorite musical actacy and concert? Well, I am the biggest Youtwo fan in the world, and I've had the pleasure of meeting the Edge a couple of times. Now. I've seen so many of their concerts and then the latest one was its fhear in Las Vegas, and I was just blown away. I think my mouth was hanging open the entire time. It was so phenomenal. Jim Dolan, who owns Madison Square Garden, was essential and putting on the spear and he did a fabulous job, so did everybody involved. So that was the last concert I think I went to, but I would go to any concert of theirs. I really want to go see Chris Stapleton. I haven't seen him in concert yet, and I love Chris Stapleton. And the other person I desperately desperately want to see in concert is Pink. I love her. I love everything about her, her personality, her voice, her songwriting, her messages, and I've seen obviously some of it on TV, but it just looks like an amazing time. Other than that, I have grown to really really like my space and I don't like to be crowded. Like, what was so amazing about seeing you too, it sphear was I was in Jim Dolan's suite there, and so there was a lot of space and you could get up from your seat and go grab There was like this amazing display of food and drinks and everything else. So I didn't feel like people were close to me and breathing on me. I you know, don't ever want to get somebody else's cold or somebody else's whatever. I'm very I'm much more aware of that stuff now, So those kind of venues are great for me to go to the rest now, I don't think it would have to be somebody that I really really really really love in order to want to go. Do you have a favorite TV or movie villain? God, I mean Heath Ledger is a joker? Is Like, That's just what popped into my brain. How phenomenal is he? What's your favorite thing to receive in the mail? In the mail not delivered to the house, right, so in the mail because I don't get anything to my house and in the mail probably when I, like, late at night, get an itch and I order something off off of site, Amazon or whatever. It's really exciting when it finally comes because you have to try it on and see if it fits. And I ordered a bathing suit recently from a bathing suit company and it finally came and I tried it on and I was like, oh my god, it actually fits and it's flattering. That's really fun. Other than that, I don't I don't love mail. Wouldn't it be funny, you guys if I said, oh, I love to get bills in the mail. Nobody likes bills. And what kills me is that there's even such a thing as mail for bills. I don't understand that. I have this conversation with companies all the time where they're like, oh, hey, it's been a week and you haven't paid our invoice. I'm like, well, yeah, because there's no like click to pay, and they're like, no, you'll have to send in a track. I'm like, what, like what century are we living in? Like why do we have to go back to the dark ages? Which is silly of me, I know, but I'm like, I don't even have a stamp in my house and to go to a post office what a in the butt? So getting mail is a little odd to me unless it's something that you specifically ordered. But are you guys happy I didn't say that I love to get bills in the mail. Nobody really likes that, do they. Maybe that's where my dislike of mail has come in. I do really like to get checks in the mail. That's fun. When I get certain checks and I see on the outside who they're from, and I know it's money, I get very excited. That's the mail I open immediately. Everything else kind of doesn't get open. To be honest, what's your favorite compliment? I have a couple. So I think my favorite compliment is when somebody comments on my intelligence, because my brain is what I'm the most proud of in this vessel. My my brain is the thing I'm them was proud of. And then the second compliment that I love the most is I call it a compliment, is when somebody tells me how much I've helped them go through cancer with a loved one or go through cancer themselves. Because helping anybody that's sick, anybody that's struggling in any way, shape or form, is. It's validation and it makes you feel good. It makes you feel like you're here for a purpose, and that's really important to me. I love the Charmed fans that talk all the time about how that show got them through really difficult times and helped them build better relationships with their parents and find sort of a family that accepted them, which is other Charms fans. And recently somebody was talking to me about nine oh two and oh and they said, wow, nine oh oh really opened up conversations with my parents when I was a teenager of certain issues that were not discussed. So those are those are huge, huge, huge compliments to me. And here's my all time favorite. You're a good daughter. That's my favorite. Uh what's your favorite time of day? And why I don't really have a favorite time of day. I think every time of day that I wake up and I'm still breathing is a gift. So if that's seven o'clock in the morning, if that's midnight, it doesn't matter. I just any second that I'm awake and breathe and it's not painful or it's not filled with stress is my favorite. And beautiful, my favorite accent. There's so many that are beautiful. Obviously, because I love Italy so much. An Italian accent it's just so sexy and so lyrical, and I don't know, you can write poems about an Italian accent. But there's also African accents that are beautiful, in Indian accents that are beautiful. I think it's not about the accent, right, I think it's about when you meet somebody with an accent from a different culture, from anything, and you learn different words, different quirks, different meanings of things, and you get to speak to them and really dove into their culture. I love all of that. It's I mean, obviously a British accent is very sexy as well, but I think all accents are beautiful. Like when I was in Japan, that was you know, that accent was gorgeous. That language is gorgeous, And it's an appreciation for going outside of your own box and experiencing something else, which is why I really love to travel. Who is your favorite comedian? David Chappelle. Dave Chappelle is my favorite comedian. I absolutely absolutely love him. He I think his comedy is thought provoking. And I realized that some of you may be upset hearing Dave Chappelle because he has ruffled a lot of feathers and not apologized for certain things. And what I learned from that is not necessarily that I agreed with it or didn't agree with it, but that he stood by his beliefs or he stood by what his comedy act was about. And comedy is a way to explore different thoughts and to turn hot topics into I think, bigger and deeper conversations, to be honest, like for me, that's what it does. And he does that, and he does it without flinching, and that is incredibly admirable because I still find that I don't do that, and I wish I had his courage and his bravery. I also absolutely love Chris Rock. He's genius. They both are genius. There's so many comedians out there, like Ricky Charves is ough. So those are the three that I desperately want to want to meet. Brickis jar Vas. Everything he does for animals and how he calls out humans, you're still left like laughing. But again, it's thought provoking, and that's these three men specifically are thought provoking comedians and their comedy is incredibly intelligent. It's not silly. It's not like calling yourself a whore. It's not any of that stuff. It's just intelligent comedy. And so those are my absolute three favorites. What is your favorite way to pamper yourself? I don't. You don't really have one, because honestly, I get a little itchy, Like just sitting around, even getting my hair done, I'm always looking at my watch, going Okay, how long is this going to take? I think if I had to pick out of just the pamper stuff, it would probably be a massage and maybe a facial But even then I find that after a while, I'm like, okay, when are we done? I need to get up, I need to leave. There are certain things that I call pampering, like when I got micro pigmentation on my eyebrows. To me, that was definitely a pamper situation, and it's still one of the best things that I ever did. But I don't. I don't. I don't think I pamper myself, Like I can't even even pedicure as bug me. I get them on occasion, more than on occasion, but I get them. I never get manicures, which is why my fingernails always look broken because often they are. And I can't stand the smell of nail polish on my hands because I feel like I can almost taste it in my food afterwards, like once it's on, I can almost taste it in my food. So I'm not big on manicures pedicures. It's just because you want pretty feet. But if I could have really beautiful feet without a pedicure, I would do it all day long. I don't. Lately, I've had some aches and pains, and my mom has been pampering me show like massage my feet as we're watching family food, And that is amazing because you can always pull away, you can always stop, You can always be like, okay, I'm pampered enough, thank you very much. But I don't know I mean pampering. There's so many different different definitions of pampering to me, taking the day off, ignoring the divorce attorney's emails, ignoring the you know iheart's emails, and ignoring responsibilities, being like, oh, I'll pay my guest bill tomorrow instead of today, even though it's due. I think that pampering to me is taking those days and saying, hey, I really need to unwind. I really need to unplug, and I'm going to do that by literally ignoring everything today and I'm going to jump in my car with my dog. I'm going to listen to some music or no music, and I'm going to take a drive to Sannynez or to the beach or whatever, and read a book, play with horses, ride horses. That is That is pampering myself. Literally taking an entire day and finishing a book. Starting in finishing a book in one day is a big pamper because I'm tuning out the rest of the world. I'm tuning out all of the noise, and that is pampering for me. So those are some of my favorite things. I hope I don't know. I hope you guys pamper yourselves. I hope you take the time to unplug every once in a while, because I think that if you don't unplug, there's no way to be even. You know, I think your equilibrium is always a little off if you don't reset it. In order to reset it, I think you have to unplug. Whether it's for thirty minutes, listening to meditation tape or watching your favorite program, whatever, it's important. Whether you have children, no children, high stress job, no job. I just think there's so much noise in the world right now. There's so much noise, and it's really stressful, really stressful. There's everybody's got an opinion. Everybody wants to argue about Biden or Trump, or Israel or Hamas, about protests, no protest, there's it's tumultuous right now, and understandably so. And believe me, I have very very strong opinions about that. And you know, if ever there comes a time when I'm you know, definite on my timeline, You'll probably hear all of my opinions because I'll have nothing to lose at that point. For now, I have to maintain peace for myself. But I just find that there's it's constantly coming at all of us again, whether it be political stuff or whether it be if you're an animal lover and you're watching dogs being you denies all the time because you know, the mayor of La Karen Bass is doing a really shit job. Like she's probably the worst mayor ever for there's an opinion for you, cancel me if you want, but she's a horrible, horrible, horrible mare in every respect, not just with dogs and dealing with the homeless. Anything that she said complete, she's done nothing. And for me, because I love animals, that's incredibly stressful. And when I go on Instagram, there's a gazillion dogs that are about to be killed just in LA shelters alone because of because her lack of doing anything about it. And when I get that every day, it's like I get a lot of anxiety and my stomach starts hurting and I get stressed. And it's the same with you know, the horses that are a for slaughter and trying to raise money really quickly. There's pressure of just engaging and trying to make sure that you're doing the right thing for everyone and putting out the right message and connecting with people and fulfilling your purpose. And that's for all of us, right, that's not just for me. So we all get inundated every single day by the noise in this world and in particular this country, but really the world, and so find that time to unplug again. It can only it can be just thirty minutes, but you got to we all have to center ourselves because if we center ourselves, I think we're able to hear better. I think that when somebody has a different political agenda than you do, I think if you're centered, you're able to hear why they feel that way. And we have free will, right, that's some people should have free will, but we do. God gave us free will, and so everybody has a right to their opinion. Sometimes how it's expressed it's not okay. But what's not okay is not hearing somebody else at all and not taking into consideration something else. And I think it's very hard to hear clearly when you're not centered. So I'm going to log off now and probably go center myself. But I hope you all find that time when you're done with work, the kids are in bed, you've taken your meds, whatever it is, that thirty minutes to just unplug and hear your own thoughts loud and clear, connect with your own thoughts, quiet them, and center yourself so that you can wake up or continue your day in a much more like relaxed, accepting manner. That's what I wish for all of you and for myself as well. So thank you for listening to a sort of random assassas
