think um it's nice to see someone be so
like willful you know cuz I'm more of a
like you know like a little bit of that
every now and then um it's nice the one
thing that I think is maybe hard is like
the earworm situation she doesn't have
worms in her ears um what I mean by that
is listening to the same song Oh yes
learn yeah yeah even great songs what
songs is she listening to Alicia Keys
Girl On Fire oh wow she's oh wow really
cool my daughter too loved still loves
that song but she Lov as yeah three
years old she would belt it out I mean
let them do that I I really like it but
what I like for me is that it's in here
almost at all times and like we're
speaking and you know this is a
television show but inside my head it's
[Music]
like yeah yeah that's it are there other
songs that are in there or just that one
have you heard the one from Moana that's
like you're welcome oh yeah yeah sure
that one's in there too 247 it could be
worse it could be baby shark that's one
that was in there for a long time oh I
have that as well I just can't speak
about
it if you unleash that Genie it does
never goes back in oh man yeah don't
even get me started on Hot Potato by the
way my daughter uh one of her favorite
movies is Marcel the shelle with no
shoes on shoes on rather yeah and we've
watched it many times and it really is a
wonderful movie you were nominated last
year at the Academy Awards for Best
animated uh feature correct that is
correct yeah and also you were in
everything everywhere all at once uh
which one best uh picture yeah right
yeah yeah it was a it was a really um it
was a really really exciting time time
and I'll also say that my my karmic
balance really showed up whatever that
is for me in that uh we also got lost on
the way to the Oscars you got lost on
the way to the how is that possible yeah
I mean first of all let me back up and
say that I was lucky enough to wear a
beautiful gown that I was like I was
sewn into the Gown yeah right like a
living doll um but with this personality
and these Tendencies and they were like
you're in and I was like so when would I
go to the bathroom and they were like oh
not our problem honestly yeah um so I
was like in the dress beautiful gown and
um I'm also aware that this story is
unrelatable in a way um but if it
weren't such a embarrassing tragedy uh
you know I wouldn't tell it at all but
um oh okay all right go ahead we're
going to be fine I'm going to settle in
yeah do you have the time um okay so
what happened was I went to the Oscars
in a sprinter van standing up no way is
that really true why because you can't
get
wrinkled you can't sit at all you can't
sit at all well so they were like you
can sit when you get there but you know
you can't sit down because you'll get
wrinkled and if I may I'm just going to
stand up I'm going to show you okay so
it's a sprinter van which I'd never been
inside of because I'm trying not to get
kidnapped um and I'm like this I'm like
this let me get that good okay so I'm
like this and my husband was like
holding my butt on one side and my the
the my stylist who got me this beautiful
dress is holding me on the other side
and we're like driving around town and
I'm like I'm going into the Oscars mom
um and then um they're like you'll be
there in 17 minutes this is an ordeal
but it'll be fine okay so then like a
bunch of time goes by and I obviously
have no idea what's going on but I was
like this feels longer than 17 minutes
which again like I don't know how long
that is
um but we show up at the Hollywood Bow
um I don't know that's just like not
worth the Oscars are no a totally
different place no just not at all not
even doesn't even make sense it's a huge
outdoor Amphitheater yeah the guy the
the driver was like okay here you go and
I was like oh I don't think I do go here
and he was like well I don't know and I
was like you don't know and he's like
well do you have you ever been there
before I was like do the Oscars

this like I was like so then so we're
there Julianne Mo well I feel like she
knows how to do yeah right yeah it's
like have you been here I'm like I've
been to the Hollywood Bowl to see
Florence in the machine but I by mistake
drank an entire bottle of wine by myself
I don't know how to get here I don't

splits and it's
like and guess what was out my
butt and not by choice no no no yeah no
