Me and My Momma!

25:39So the seven year old went to like a really strict school where there's like she'd never seen television before. There's a TV in every fucking room in this house. Like there was no the person who brought this family here, the family member didn't. I would have gone into extreme detail about the intensity of these people. First of all, I would never would have brought them to this family for this dinner. I would have been like, this is not wine and laughter. Yeah, this is just not the place for these people. This is not going to mesh well. So we were like, oh, God, it was like pulling teeth trying to like talk to them.

26:08They were like really uptight. They were they kept being like, well, we don't eat that. And our daughter doesn't. And we were like, oh, are you comfortable here? Like, yeah, we had a movie playing and we had to turn that. They were pushing us to have dinner right away. Yeah, because she had to be in bed at a certain. She had to go to be in bed at a certain time. It's Christmas fucking ridiculous. So we also had a TV at that point, a little TV like in the kitchen. and so spencer and i are like oh dude we need to fucking get stoned before dinner because this is gonna be like a long dinner so we go and like have a little puff and now we're like giggle city so we walk before dinner we're dying because we walk into the kitchen and that someone had turned the tv back on and this seven-year-old is an inch away from the screen and we walk in and we see her And we're like, blah, like we're dying.

26:59We're like, oh, my God. So then we're all at the table. And this was like there was a lot of family members here at this point. And so I think my brothers and my sister, like somehow, ironically, again, the the stories of us growing up in this house and the parties we had and the fun thing, you know, because think about it. There's I'm born between my parents, but my dad had three kids and my mom had one when they moved in here. So there's been four kids before me who were all around the same age, all had some similar friends, but all separate friends. And so like the there's been chapters and shifts of like everybody's experience in this house with like their friends and their thing.

27:37So much life and like so many parties and so many things. And so we're kind of like recapping this and we were talking about the parties and the dad looked at all of us and was like, don't you think this is an inappropriate conversation for the dinner table around because of their daughter? talking about but we weren't like we were doing like we were like oh we have we at this party and like the one time that it was all like by the way this is our fucking house you were a guest in the house and we're all laughing and enjoying ourselves and like bonding over these like fond memories in our home and i can see my dad from the end of the table is just fucking chuck is over it at this point.

28:18For context, my dad, when I was in ninth grade, had knee surgery and got staph infection from that surgery. And that was like the beginning of the end for my dad. And he was like spent the last 20 years of his life or 15 years in extreme pain and had chasing staph around his body from joint to joint. Endless joint replacement surgeries. So he, you know, picking himself up from the dining room chair. I mean, he would lift himself up, but it definitely is. Everything was a little slow. So at this point, because he's so he, you know, my dad had a big belly. He was like a cozy bear. So he's like he's like looking around.

28:57He's giving me this look like I'm fucking done. And I was like, dad. And he was like, I'm over it. So the people make it another comment. Chuck's like, fuck. And I remember him saying, God damn it. I'm like, fuck this or something. No, he said something and stood up. to go like remove himself from he's like I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette you know it's like something but he had undone his pants when he sat down because he had a big fat fucking belly and when he stood up his pants were around like fell to his ankles thank god he had underwear on he's at the head of the table and the wife the mother of this guy who is sitting right next to him.

29:44So she stands up. She looks over at him and she's like level with his underwear. Oh, my God. Well, we were dying laughing. The whole table erupts in laughter. And it was like the perfect thing to break the fucking ice. That was probably the last straw for that little poor seven-year-old. Probably was traumatized for life. Traumatized. It was so fucking funny. And it was like the perfect thing. And then like, it gave it like from then on, like I think that though, that family then like scurried off and like got ready and then they left and then we were just left to laugh and have the rest of our evening back.

30:26But that was a very, we tell that story a lot because my big dad standing up at the head of the table on his pants falling down was just like the most perfect. It was like a fucking movie. Oh my God, your favorite teen memory. like bad girl. You were such a goody two-shoes. Did you do anything bad when you were a teenager ever? Good Lord, no. You had one puff of a cigarette, wasn't it? Yes, and I hated it. Why were you such a goody two-shoes? Well, my dad was strict. I was technically not supposed to date until I was 18. Why? Denmark, where things are so much looser and it would have been a different story.

31:05But yeah, I just, no, I just was a good, I followed the rules and I really didn't do anything crazy at all. Why? Boring. Well, I mean, in general. Like a Toto setting and finally eating a bone like a little boy Toto. This thing right here in front of me. Totito. Look at his shoulder blade. It looks dislocated. It cracks me up his shoulder blade. Right now, he looks like a Great Dane. I wonder if he's part Great Dane. You know, I tried to give him that test we have that says what his DNA is. I took that one out. Did you ever give it to him? No, he... The swab? Yeah. He wouldn't hold still for me to.

31:41I just had to throw it away. Those tests are expensive. Someone gave us those for like a dog party we had once. That was the last one too, huh? No, no, I have another one. Oh, we got to do it. Now that he's more comfortable with us. I did it like the day he got here. So he was too sensitive. Your sister wasn't a goody two shoes. She was a bad girl. No, I wouldn't say so. When she got older then? No, I really think that we were, there was nobody in my class in high school that was. Yeah, that was bad. It was a. It was a lot of like doobie doobop, doobop, doobop. And like, and then wearing a Letterman jacket was like you being steady with your boyfriend.

32:14Yeah, it's just, and then the whole hippie thing came out and, you know, people going braless and all that kind of stuff and like love not war and all that kind of stuff. No, no, it was conservative. In fact, when I went on that trip to Denmark when I was 18 with my mom, I wore a houndstooth sleeveless scoop neck dress with a matching coat. I looked like, it's what Jackie Kennedy look, you know what I mean? that very that kind of love i came home in a mini dress and and and clogs with the danish clogs i came home they were saying don't you want to get a short dress don't you want to get don't you i knew i was going to get a pair of clogs when i was there to that's good high school wood shoes so but yeah i came home with a different attitude pretty funny yeah boring kind of just kind of was a good girl.

33:04Yeah. Do you want to move with us to New York? I think that would be fun. As I mentioned to you, if you, I can imagine that you would keep something here, a condo or something and whatever apartment, something so that you have a place because won't you need to be, won't Davide need to come here and still do stuff for the store? Yeah, but he's going to be like everywhere. You know, I feel like what I think you should do is get a condo by the beach by Spencer and live with us most of the time, but then live there. What sucks about New York is January, February, March. I don't mind cold and snow.

33:45April. February, March, April. It's like the holidays are gone. It's freezing. It's dark all the time. But spring is like the most magical experience you've ever had, as is fall and like November, December. is so beautiful. So you're not talking about living in New York anyway. You're talking about living up higher. Yeah. Yeah. But also, by the way, like living close to the city, it's like, I don't feel like there are like that many activities to do here where I feel like when I'm in New York, I do so much. So I feel like we would be more obviously because I feel like it would be like, oh, it's a cold, weird day.

34:20Like, let's go to the Met. Like, let's go to J.G. Mellon. Let's go to this cute thing. Like, let's go take the kids to do the whole world. There's just like so much more like, let's go to Bedford and have a day there. Let's drive further upstate and go to this farm. Like, I just think there's like a lot more like cozy activities to do. And I agree. And we'd be traveling more. If a miracle happens, we could keep this house. Part of me feels like closing a chapter, like Heidi and Michelle moved. Yeah. Of course, she wants to move. She does. Yeah. They want to move like to like, you know, obviously late, like in a few years, but she'd love to move somewhere that's not.

34:56California's insane. Yeah. She wants to like live in like North Carolina or something. Like somewhere where she can, her like horse can run around and like. Right. Cost of living is a fraction of the price. I know. It's safer. There's more like cute towns to live in. No. And then. I love that. Jeff is obviously open about. And Jeff is considering moving too. Yeah. So I do feel. I'm not opposed to moving at all. I just think there's something very charming and cozy about the East Coast. I know. I feel like if you join like a country club, which I wouldn't do here, but like you're on the water. I mean, it's so pretty.

35:32I loved our trip. That was beautiful. I know. I loved our trip. It was like a perfect weekend. I was like, God, life is like, I'd love to be able, you know, we obviously have been trying to like take you on more trips. I just, I keep hearing all the things you like, you know, when you say like, oh, this person went there or like, I've always wanted to do this thing. And you know what I was talking about with Dobby Day is like, you know, the kids have like winter break or like we do Christmas at our house and then go to Italy the day after Christmas and we're there through New Year's. And like Christmas anywhere in Europe is heaven on earth.

36:05Everything's so Christmassy. It's so cute. There's Christmas markets. It's like. And then, you know, if we want to go like skiing, you know, inexpensive it is to go skiing and skiing in Italy. we're here in America. It's like, so like the lift tickets and the food and the things. It's a whole different world. Yeah. I mean, the prices are just like, you kind of just get such a more bang for your buck. And so I'm like, well, you know, we can live that kind of life where it's like more expanded in that way, which I just think would be nice for everybody. You know, I think we're always going to figure out like what Christmas looks like and maybe we host one year or we all go somewhere, you know, whatever it is.

36:41But I think the transition of dad passing away and like keeping this house and like turning it into this beautiful thing and having us all be here. And I'm not saying this needs to happen tomorrow. I'm just saying like, you know, letting that door be open for that as an option. I think having it, if the chapter does close, doing it this way instead of, oh, we have to sell the house since dad died. Oh, no, it's so lucky. Well, it's so fortunate that it worked out the way it did, honestly. So fortunate. Where you were at a point where this could all work out at the time of the past. But I think it's like energetically been such a good thing.

37:19It has. You know, the intention of selling the house financially, the things that we've done to it, you know, increase it. Like it just, I just feel like, I don't know. We've just taken it a day at a time. We haven't, didn't foresee exactly how this was going to turn out. but we thought, let's give it a, give it a try. And, and it's evolved into what it is. And it's, it's. Oh, I hear Carlo. How much does Carlo remind you of your husband? So much. It's shocking. His little body and his little hands, big chubby hands and his feet. And he's getting in his eyebrow. I mean, he, those, you just cut, cut and copy.

37:57No, cut and paste. Cut and paste rather. Chuck's eyes and eyeballs and eyebrows. And you and on Carlo. And he's, got that cute personality and he's so sweet.

38:19I have suffered from hair shedding from a very young age. I used to always make fun of the fact that like my entire ponytail was like the average amount of hair of like someone's bangs. after I got married and I knew we were going to start trying, I was panicking because I had heard so much about postpartum hair loss. And so I started taking Nutrafol. I just took the regular women's formula and I could not believe the amount of hair growth that I got in three months. It takes three to six months to see real growth. And I was mind blown. And then when I got pregnant, I knew that I wanted to be as on top of it as possible with any sort of preventing postpartum hair loss.

39:03I brought it with me to the hospital. I took it like the day I gave birth and I have had no postpartum hair shedding through two children. I mean, I've been taking this stuff for like over five years. It is unbelievable. I am so grateful.

And you know, if you have a child, these kids go to school and they are just like a Petri dish. Like one kid gets sick and it just is wildfire and then it spreads through your home.

40:49So as soon as I feel that little tickle, I take Wish Garden's Kick-Ass Immune Activator. I was recommended this product by so many people.

42:10what does your mom make of your public online profile you manage very different generation what do you think about my public online profile i'm actually very proud of of you and and i read comments that people make and how they appreciate your what you do your sensibilities and your caring of other people and your volunteer work with the children at the hospital. You've got a really good moral compass. And I think that comes through. It's easy for people to judge. And I prefer to try to be not judgmental because for obvious reasons, it's judge not lest you be judged. I am not in a position to judge anyone.

42:57We're all one together. We're all souls together. and these bodies on this planet. So trying to get along and live our lives. But I'm proud of what you do, Pia. I'm proud of what you've accomplished. And you and Davide together have complemented each other in your work and your personal lives. You made two darling babies. Yeah, I made you two darling babies. No, I'm proud of you, honey. You work hard. You work really hard. And you do. You have so many irons in the fire. and I'm amazed at how much you accomplish. Today's a crazy day. Today I have a headache because there's so many things happening and I couldn't, my body, this is a, I never get headaches and today I was like, ooh, there's a lot of like moving parts.

43:40I'm nervous for how busy I'm going to get when Baranchini launches, but I feel it'll be the first time that I can probably, not probably, like it'll be the first time I can afford to have like people who work for us, you know, because we're going to like properly actually take some of the load off. Raise money. Yeah, and just like set things up in a structured way. So what I really want like is to, and we do it with LPA. We, you know, have our meetings in person twice a month, but like, I'm really looking forward to having people that I work with in, like I really miss sitting down with people like in a space and having like creative meetings.

44:17Everything's like, I'm happy that everyone can work from home and have more flexible schedules, but I miss like in-person creativity. Yeah. so I hope that that happens with I think there's going to be like a whole new I mean things are about to get really crazy between that and what's happening with Davide's brand so we're about to have like a whole new which is why you would like we're always talking about like is there a third child does it make sense of what we're doing and then the other day I was telling Davide about it I was like I don't know I just think it's like irresponsible you know I said everything that we talk about where I'm like I feel like I'm in such a good place and I don't want to and then I was like, like closing that chapter feels so nice to just be able to like move forward and not have this, I feel like I have this thing looming that I've like start over again, you know?

45:03And, but, but it's like, what start over what? Like go through two years of being pregnant and having a newborn. That's like two years for the rest of my life. And for generations, like who cares if it's, that's it. But then I'm like, oh, it just feels nice. And I don't want to add, you know, I want our kids to get ample attention and I don't want to, you know, drag ourselves, spread ourselves too thin. But then I looked at him and I told him all that. I was convincing him that we should not. And then I go, so then that's it. So then there's no more babies. And then we all started crying. I'm with you.

45:39It's a tough decision. It's very weird because I rationalize that we shouldn't. As much as you travel, though, and are going to travel even more, having just two children, when you take them with, you each have a kid. A third one on an airplane. I mean, you also want to enjoy the rest of your life and you want to enjoy the traveling. Yeah, but like having an uncomfortable flight for the few times we do until they're old enough to like, is like, that's not enough to like not create a whole other human being. So I have a fucking fly. I would have had a third one, but travel, you know. But, you know, I want to travel comfortably.

46:16Right?

46:20I mean, it's like. No, that's not. It's a human being. Can you imagine looking someone like Carlo in the face and be like, we didn't have you because we want to travel better? No. You know what I mean? Yeah. A person. But life is like a box of chocolates. I know. I don't know what the third one is going to be like. We have two very happy. We have two sweet happy babies. They're so happy. We have two such happy, joyful children. I know. But then one more. What if the other one, what if the third one is also happy? And then we got three of them. Imagine seeing three of them all lined up, hanging out with each other.

46:55And think about it. Like, Carla has so much love to give. Imagine Carla was a big brother. Can you imagine? Carla was a big brother. I can. Heaven. Picking up the baby. Ma! Ma! To the baby. Ma! So fucking cute. I don't know. You're funny because you always kind of like don't have that much of an opinion about certain things. Or as much as you do have an opinion. I'm not expressing my opinion very much on this one. Is that what you did? Yeah. But also you did that when I dated that fucking loser before Davide. Like I'd be like, do you like it or not? And you'd be like, we just think that. I said, I knew better than to.

47:39He didn't like us. That was clear. What a fucking piece of fucking shit. And so. Can you believe that I fucking dated that person? What was going on with me internally? And then you said to me one day, you don't like him, do you? And I said, I like him fine. I have nothing against him personally. However, do I picture him as the father of my grandchildren? Hell no. That's the one negative thing I said to you about him. And I thought, I don't need to say any more than that. And then you finally saw things on your own. Do you remember that one time he and I moved into that last house that we were, and I stayed with him for that extra year because I loved that house.

48:18And we made you dinner. Dad couldn't come over for some reason. Dad was at that point kind of like too hard to move around. He wanted to stay home or something. I just pictured myself in that kitchen all of a sudden. Dad was at a town. There was something. And remember, he wanted to eat in bed. Yes. We cooked dinner. And then I was like, okay, let's all go sit at the table. And he was like, I want to eat in bed and watch my show. Yes. But it was very weird because it's not like he was so polite with his parents. He would never do that to his fucking parents who we spent so much time with. But it was like this weird regression happened that he was like, I don't have to do what you want me to do.

48:56It was the oddest. Whatever happened. Did he go to bed? We got into a huge fight. And I was like, I was like, my mother drove 25 minutes. We made dinner. We're sitting down and eating dinner together. like there's no world where that would happen. He had such a wonderful family. There's like no world. He would never, his parents would not tolerate such a thing. It was so confusing because I loved his parents. His parents are magnificent. And so I was like, this would never happen for once. Your dad would hit you across the face if you were doing this for your parents. I don't know. It was so, it was like this act of defiance that we couldn't tell him what to do.

49:31It was so weird. And then I remember one time there was like, whatever, we have asphalt in our driveway. and there would always be this like little part of the asphalt that would get broken up by the car tires and it would create like a little pothole in our driveway. And my dad would just like go to Home Depot and like buy a little bag of asphalt and you would pour it in the hole and it would have to be like tamp it down. You just tamp it down. It's like a two second man job. Sunday dinners obviously were like a thing that we like really kept in high regard in this house. So I was coming from a Sunday dinner or I was coming over here for Sunday dinner and he was like doing something.

50:08I don't want to name it because I don't want to make it obvious. But there was he would always do this like relaxing thing on Sundays. And I was like, OK, I'll meet at my parents' house. And I was like, my dad is asking. And I think it was kind of also my dad's way of like bonding with him. Sure. He was like, he's asking if you can come early to like help him do that. Because my dad was like disabled. So I was like, so you could help him like fill the pothole. And then he didn't. He came like so like we were almost done with dinner by the time he came because he wanted his his Sundays to be for himself.

50:37And then I remember thinking to myself, like, damn, if Dobby Day, imagine. Oh, yeah. He would have been here in a heartbeat. He would have fixed it before my dad asked. Yeah, for sure. That would have just like wouldn't have been a thing. No.

50:57I was a train wreck through my 20s, like most people are. And I'm not kidding. I remember thinking so clearly, like it's when my therapy like dwindled because it was like so expensive. I didn't have the money. And obviously my parents weren't going to pay for therapy for me. Like it was like this thing that required so much privilege. And so I just wish during that time when I was like insecure and out of control that I had easy access to affordable therapy. And that is why I want to scream Rula from the rooftops.

54:44Anyway, I think these like red flaggy things. Oh my God, Davide's calling me right now on FaceTime. Let's answer it. Davide, you're live on the podcast. You're being recorded. Si, si, si. Do you want to ask her a question on the podcast? Something I can answer? I guess I would like to hear from her. Like just a little inside of how it feels day by day. being in that house with, you know, new life and seeing, it's like, you know, watching that happen again, in a sense, you know, first was with you. And then that's what I would ask her, like, like to articulate that and just giving us, you know, without going too deep, by giving us how she feels about it.

55:29It must be insane to witness something so, so meaningful. I love it, Davide. How could I not to be in my same home I've been in for since 82? My goodness, all the memories. It's a mix of emotions, isn't it? Because I look around and I see everything that Chuck and I had here and did here and all those memories. And then it rolls right into my memories and daily life with all of you and the babies. And I'm just walking up into this room now. You know, it's just, it's always, it's a continuation of my life from that time until now. And it's, I mean, it's ideal. It's ideal. I wish more families could have that ability to, yeah.

56:15But I also credit you with a lot of that too, Davide, because I think you with coming from Sicily and your respect for family and not a lot of men would do this. Yeah, I think. No, but besides that, I didn't mean to. But I think that, of course, all the components were in place for us to transition into that. Yeah, but no, you were the component. Because most men wouldn't have done that. All right, I'm going to check out on that. I don't want to. What were you calling to tell me? Sent it to me. I love you. I'm just happy. Stuff looks great. Let me tell you something I think is important for everybody to hear.

56:51you had this dark cloud over your head that coming home was going to be exhausting because you were landing and then you had the party and then you had to do the thing and you've done it all and you've done it all really well and it all looks really great and so you made you gave yourself a lot of anxiety and you were future tripping over something that you handled really beautifully and it's been a really great three days instead of this three days that you thought were going to be so awful i told you where i'm picking up it turned into a great call you were so complimentary and love it. That's why you called?

57:22No, I wanted to just check in with you. Oh, okay. When are you coming home? Soon. Soon as we close. We are done. We are recreating around and organizing a little bit. Okay. I love you. Someone asked what kind of wine we're drinking and we are drinking The Mascot from Napa, California. How was your trip to Napa with us? It was highs and... There were no lows. You mean emotional lows. Yeah, yeah. But there were no emotional lows. It was just emotional. Yeah. That's right. I started to say highs and lows, but it wasn't lows. It was, yeah. You know what was nice about it also that we didn't talk about?

58:01But like in the mornings, like I was really happy. We had slow, like, well, you know, we got to the hotel and then there was like two hours before we had dinner. And then like each morning it was like an hour and a half. but from like wake up until you and I would meet until we would all meet up in the morning. And I was really happy knowing that you were like alone, relaxing in that pretty room by yourself. Shout out to Meadowood in Napa Valley, which is truly one of the most special hotels. It's all these like little bungalows with fireplaces and you're in the forest. And it's hard to even call it a bungalow because there's just, there's so, they're so perfect and beautiful inside.

58:39And then one had, the one I was in, which I remember from when dad and I were there, And as you're in the living room in the fireplace, there's sliding louvered shades. And when you open those, it opens to the bathtub from the bathroom. So someone in the bathtub can watch the TV in the fireplace. That's how our room was at the Bowery that we had like 10 years ago when we decided to get married. I need to surprise him and get that room one day. On the anniversary, that'd be fun. Yeah, totally. You know what we're going to do? We're going to do the anniversary of our first wedding. So when dad died, which was 2017 or 18?

59:1718. 18. So that's two and a half years from now. We're going to do a vow renewal for our 10-year anniversary in Sicily with everybody. Oh, then, yeah, his family can be there. That would be nice. Well, like all of our friends. Like we're just going to like rent a big place or hopefully we'll have a place by then. Actually, we'll do it there with the kids. It'll be so cute. It would be nice. I know. I know it's like very trendy to do like vow renewals after only a couple years right now. And I think people do it for content and I get it. Like weddings, I mean, I would get married every year if I could, because I love getting dressed up and I love the content.

59:57But our wedding, both like, you know, we had a quick wedding after my dad died with my whole family here. And then we had another wedding like a year later. and it's like all wedding to us is really about the people. And like, to me, the most beautiful part of our wedding, I keep telling everybody this who has a wedding. I'm like, something happens energetically when you are surrounded by so many people who love you. You're just like lifted into a next chapter of your life. That's so magical. And so I'm really excited to like revisit two kids, multiple businesses, dad dying, Carmella dying, Carmella, you know, senior dying, like all those different things and then just have all the people we love at like that stage in our life all around us, I think it's just going to be really nice.

1:00:42How come you and dad never had a vow renewal for content? You just didn't care about content. Really slacking your fucking content. We didn't even use the word content as content then.

1:00:55Such a loser mom. Anyway, we already planned on you getting married that Sunday after dad died. We just didn't know he was going to die the week before. We just didn't know he was going to die. So he went ahead and died. He was going to go to the city hall. We were going to do it Friday. Yeah, we were going to go to Beverly Hills and have lunch. He had to go and die on us. Can you imagine? What the fuck? We had talked about my wedding since the day I was born. And he died days before. Yeah. On what planet? So weird. I really do feel because it was Davide had just finally got here after this anticipation of whether you guys were, actually going to be and continue to be an item.

1:01:35And then, and then him moving here and just two weeks later, Chuck passing away. But I think on a soul level, he knew. I think the cutest thing besides like their texts to each other and dad saying, I love you, son, like all that stuff, which was just magnificent and would have been life changing for the day to have that for at least a fucking year more or something, you know, whatever. You got to really use dad's advice for a lot of things. A dad relationship would have been. Oh my God. But one of the cutest, funniest things, and we'll end on this is that, you know, I'd had like, I have had like a slew of shitty relationship.

1:02:15I bet I didn't date like any nice guys ever. I dated shitty people and then, but that's okay because then I got to Avide. So miracles happen. But I remember like calling home. There was like a couple of boyfriends and I would either be home or call home because I lived in New York and I would be crying and dad would call me and he enough with this bullshit crying over that fucking loser. I don't want to hear the shit. You don't call here with the shit.

1:02:43Motherfucker. Bullshit. Beautiful daughter crying over a god damn it. And but with Davide, he called me. He goes, I just don't know what to do. Dad, I just can't. I just want to kill him. I just want to kill him. He loved him. He was so sad. Because it was very up and down. No, of course. We talk about it. David would go silent on you and then you were beside yourself and then dad was beside himself. Because I finally found my perfect son-in-law. I know. David would ghost me so hard. But I would be like, just answer the phone. Because if he saw me, he would melt. But he would do this. So funny to like be with somebody when you've seen like such a dark side of that.

1:03:26It's like, I know we always say like, he's very like family stay together. Like what could be worth it? Like, you know, whatever. I don't even want to get into like, because I don't want to be judgmental because I don't, I've never been in that person's shoes and who knows. But we always say, because we know how bad it is on the other side, we're like getting a divorce is like never going to be worth it. Like we'll kill each other. Like, you know,

1:03:50it's better for everybody. Okay. I love you. We're going to go. Thanks so much for coming up to my bedroom. Oh, it was nice. It didn't take me long to get here. So I'm not. Yeah. Thank you for making the commute. Thank you for drinking the wine. Yeah. Thank you for providing the wine. No problem. Anything you want to say to the people? People want you to do this more often. But what we're going to do next is you, me and Davide are going to go into the studio and have it be like recorded and it'll be like a proper video and we'll have proper drinks. But I also like to have questions ahead so that I.

1:04:22No. Oh. No. But then I can think, go down, walk down memory lane. And I feel on the spot. And then like my mind is blank. And I think then afterwards I go, oh, shoot, I could have said, oh, I remember that. You're right. I remember that. I just approached this from the perspective of you wanting to have like the perfect right PR answer. No, no, no. No, it's just about trying to remember on the spot. I'll do questions ahead of time. Because later, as I'm mulling it over, I go, oh, shoot, that was a good memory. I do that too, by the way. That's just normal. But I will prep them next time. I think that makes sense to me.

1:04:58I'll allow that. Thanks, daughter. Okay, love you. Bye, love you.
