Spring has a way of reintroducing your home to the light. The days stretch a little longer.
00:00:04.720

00:02:41.380
to be here with you so happy to be here with you now well how are we gonna tell the where should
00:02:51.980
we start with our story where should we start with the miracle there are a lot of miracles
00:02:57.360
ain't there yes you said you and it keeps going right as you get older because you were telling
00:03:04.560
me you stayed at my mom's house just a couple of months ago and you looked in a drawer and found a
00:03:11.220
letter i had written when i was pregnant with you in the home for unwed mothers and you're 55 so
00:03:19.680
that was a 55 year old so yeah so you would have been 17 18 right yeah at the time of writing it
00:03:28.220
it was I mean when you start to be open to miracles they're everywhere and that is kind of the way to
00:03:36.180
for me I think um to see them and to appreciate them so yeah I went to Salt Lake I was in your
00:03:44.220
mom's house my grandma's house and something just led me to her room and there were these three
00:03:50.920
boxes I didn't even understand anyone have words for you know how it was happening I opened it up
00:03:58.080
and there's a letter in there and it caught my eye because it said Denver and I'm in Salt Lake and I
00:04:03.800
was like what is this so I opened it up and I'm reading it and it's your handwriting so I knew
00:04:09.720
it was you writing a letter to your mom but I didn't know the timing like was this before we
00:04:18.240
were separated was this while you were pregnant was this before after I didn't know the context
00:04:23.820
until I read through the whole letter and there was this mention of you saying
00:04:30.560
I felt the baby kick and like everything in me it was this amazing moment to get to
00:04:39.720
to realize what that meant for me but also what that meant for you and what it meant for us
00:04:45.240
and to have this letter that you wrote during that time it never stops the miracles they just
00:04:53.040
wash over you all the time right right and that's how you know there's you know whatever people call
00:05:00.500
it um there's a connection to the divine because there's no way not to see it when you start seeing
00:05:07.120
it um and in that moment in that house like it was sort of this wild rebirth but also this genuine
00:05:14.500
like love for you and what you went through that i can't even imagine and now all these many years
00:05:20.680
of all everything that we've been through since the reunification and coming back really feels
00:05:26.620
like this incredible soul contract that we made with each other before i was even here i think we
00:05:33.300
did too i hate to interrupt but we have to tell the story a little bit people don't know it
00:05:37.620
well you tell it oh we jumped ahead yeah you guys are talking about reunification
00:05:41.500
okay okay well you guys can but just remember you do it because you're good at this and i need to
00:05:47.100
take a drink and that's why i'm here no you had gotten pregnant with brandy when you were young
00:05:53.060
you gave her up for adoption we found her you found her the inquire founder and we were reunited
00:06:00.140
i was 11 when i met you and 10 and a half when i found out that you existed i had no idea so when
00:06:05.880
she says reunification that's when we found brandy and she came back into our family and
00:06:09.640
she has a lovely adoptive family they raised her they did a great job but we know brandy since
00:06:16.360
so here's the crazy thing okay no you okay you say the crazy thing i mean there's a lot of crazy
00:06:22.740
things but then you can share your i mean there's a lot of really wilds okay let me start since i'm
00:06:29.240
the one that had you yeah okay you've earned that first of all it was the most horrific thing
00:06:38.920
in the world to give birth oh no your birth no no but it was i had no idea i asked my mom and
00:06:51.260
grandma and being the liars that they are because they never told me the truth about it they go oh
00:06:57.480
you know you know you'll get through it it's uh you know like women do i mean what were they
0.81
00:07:05.220
that's why i huh what were they gonna say then i mean they should say as i say right now to every
0.99
00:07:11.680
girl out there young girl this shit hurts worse than death it is awful and it goes on for hours
1.00
00:07:19.800
and fucking hours and continually gets worse until you feel like you're shitting a watermelon
1.00
00:07:31.540
I was trying to escape the girls' dorm where they had us all at the,
0.85
00:07:39.420
what was the name of that home for unwed mothers?
0.65
00:07:44.480
Oh, it was a Salvation Army home for unwed mothers in Denver, Colorado,
1.00
00:07:48.340
where now we see the whole circuitous story where the Jews fucked us all over.
1.00
00:07:56.500
Oh, I don't know. You're talking about Planned Parenthood? No, we're, you know, I think they all knew our families. Well, I think in the early 70s. So this was 1971. This was the big push. Like there was a lot of coercion. There was a lot of pushing young women to make that choice. There was no counseling. There was no way that you guys could even share last names or find each other later.
1.00
00:08:22.460
so there was a lot of like trauma around all of that and they they sent young women away
00:08:28.700
with the stories so that you know the people in the neighborhood wouldn't talk and all that it
00:08:34.400
was only like a certain amount of time where that happened um and that's kind of where our story
00:08:42.420
begins right yeah it's 1971 1971 the crazy part of another strange synchronicity or maybe not at
00:08:50.420
this point was that family friends that we had in common and that you went there pregnant with me
00:08:56.800
passover and that you and gail my adopted mom okay but here's how it starts and then you can
00:09:05.100
tell that here's how it starts okay i had you number one uno numeral uno and the whole time
00:09:15.960
i was thinking my parents don't want me to keep my baby they're not going to help me and you know
00:09:22.900
i'm not capable as i don't even know what day it is most days right so um
00:09:33.160
so all of them got to get everybody got together oh you're going to salvation
00:09:39.660
Army, Home for Enwood, Mothers in Denver, Colorado. Okay. Anyway, cut to I have you.
00:09:50.240
You come out. But my thinking was, I'm going to meet you again when you're 18 years old.
00:10:00.920
Okay, so these are miracles. So you come out and one of your ears is bent just like my mother's.
00:10:09.660
and you had, you know, you had red hair, just like most of my cousins, and I got to keep
00:10:19.860
you for three days, and it all, we had it all hooked up with the Jewish Family and Children's
00:10:26.480
Services there in, in Denver, and that social worker there, so anyways, they came for you
00:10:34.800
on the third day and i said to you i will see you again when you're 18 years of age
00:10:43.940
and that i had kept my that's why when i wanted to go into show business i kept my name roseanne
00:10:52.120
bar because that's on the birth certificate right because i knew oh she'll when i'm famous she'll
00:10:57.440
come looking for me and then she'll know who i am right and of course amazing it was kind of
00:11:03.860
terrifying that you never know where your kid is and I asked the court can I know about her
00:11:09.480
no I mean it's so brutal they could have easily sent me a text she's fine well they did the
00:11:18.420
closed adoptions then now it's changed in 2016 in Colorado but for a long time you know and they
00:11:25.020
thought I think they were protecting everyone including the young person and it's like it's
00:11:29.840
so much harder to integrate all the information when you're older than from the beginning I think
00:11:34.700
they did a disservice to everybody and the and the adoptee to not have that information um and they
00:11:42.780
have since changed it but yeah then it was all closed you couldn't and they didn't tell you
00:11:47.500
anything so even if and I I kind of believe that I heard you because I I never had that urge to go
00:11:55.260
and then it happened on my 18th birthday we'll tell that story but
00:11:58.820
i think that the closed adoption piece um what they don't tell you is you have to go and search
00:12:08.180
um but let's say i would put it out there that i wanted to find you if you have not also
00:12:14.300
registered they don't tell you anything crypto used to sound like something uh your weird cousin
00:12:21.260

still keep it closed now it's different no i did sign i did sign all that whatever i could do i did
00:14:15.400
okay and i think until you're 18 like so either way like that's probably why i thought all that
00:14:22.400
because i thought you would so here's the crazy thing okay now you talk about the crazy well
00:14:27.400
one you and gail who was my adopted mom um missed each other by five minutes a block away from the
00:14:35.100
house that i was raised what does that mean so the wolfson family were actually related to the
00:14:42.300
davises yeah they were married right my uncle perry davis married resa wolfson right and there
00:14:50.420
weren't a lot of adoptions through the jewish family service i think my parents gail and stan
00:14:55.640
Brown waited for three years for a baby girl they had a boy my brother Barry so like how people
00:15:04.060
didn't know is a little bit strange to me but anyway you came to Liz and Stanley Wolfson's
00:15:10.200
Reese's for pregnant with me for Passover yeah I came there for Pesach because it was your family
00:15:17.940
right and you're doing this and like I was trying to think about the fact that you know the story
00:15:28.660
and what you must have been going through to be
00:15:31.480
and then a family that was asking you to give that up.
00:15:42.180
and you guys missed each other by five minutes.
00:15:46.920
And it's like there's a million of those in our story.
0.99
00:15:50.020
but like so pearl wolfson was like probably in her 60s or 70s at the time she would have me over
00:15:59.760
for tea and like nobody understood why is this seven eight year old hanging out with this 70
00:16:05.280
and she was amazing world traveled and this really interesting woman and we like loved each other
00:16:11.560
she would show me pictures and i remember and there's not a lot i remember when you're that
00:16:17.520
age like certain things sear and stick um and she would be like there's rose and there's helen
00:16:24.400
she was showing me so i don't know if she knew and was like kind of keeping the secret or if she
00:16:29.860
was just well i think they all knew i think she knew they never said which is kind of amazing in
00:16:37.120
one like one respect but also but she was basically showing me pictures of my family
00:16:44.200
it was all of you you saw me oh yeah wait you were adopted through this jewish thing in denver
00:16:50.620
in denver this is all in denver this family lives in denver yeah and you i'm just so confused her
00:16:56.960
parents lived in denver too no i know that but when you went to the church of unwed or whatever
00:17:01.660
that was in denver i went from salt lake to den was it a coincidence that your family was there
00:17:06.520
or was it they part of the adoption process no they just lived there that's crazy yeah i didn't
00:17:12.640
this is all new to me too and gail was best friends with liz wolfson like i grew up with
00:17:18.640
the whole family so when gail applied for adoption did she know they say no but literally i was the
00:17:25.360
only they did tell me they say they said your baby is going to be adopted by uh an architect and
00:17:35.680
they said your mom did something she was a teacher teacher okay and they already have
00:17:41.760
one jewish son yeah and they have waited for a jewish daughter for many years so it's
00:17:56.400
and i go well where is she goes and they're here and she told me they were there in denver
00:18:02.320
that the fam that the adoptive people so let's check this out so there's like 15 jew jewish
00:18:10.800
families in denver and one every hundred years adopt somebody and so they don't put it together
00:18:18.520
that i the person in their family was pregnant went to denver and gave up a jewish baby who just
0.98
00:18:26.900
happens to show up in their house three days after she's born in denver they don't all fucking
0.94
00:18:34.220
they're all they all gaslighted us they had to know and they kept it quiet there's no other way
0.92
00:18:38.960
there's no other way maybe they did they they say they didn't i think pearl knew and it was kind of
00:18:46.060
lovely in a way that she didn't break that confidence but also she wanted me to know
00:18:50.300
where i came from like oh that's cool you never told me that why do why would i remember at seven
00:18:55.400
or eight pictures and then years later when i met you guys i was like oh that's crazy wow isn't that
00:19:01.760
weird and she had passed by then but it was really amazing so all these pieces and parts and i feel
00:19:08.720
like the adoption story and the Jewish story like we're constantly trying to find those pieces to
00:19:15.260
put together the whole puzzle and it's it's wild there's a lot I think that you learn from that
00:19:22.080
but you're constantly seeing the patterns and you're constantly seeing the miracles because
00:19:27.080
that's another like bit of light that you're integrating within yourself to become whole
00:19:33.500
and it's just so cool whatever whatever you know you go there with me didn't you grow up around the
00:19:39.820
street from me and jenny and jessica so you guys were in bear creek i was more in uh i it's not
00:19:46.880
super far it's not super and i would always like and so you were like by tamarack square you were
00:19:53.100
like 15 minutes from i mean i wasn't far from you guys and i think i i grew up i always knew i was
00:19:58.380
adopted it's a weird thing because you you know you come home and the concept of adoption sort
00:20:04.880
of disappears you're this family but there was always this okay there's this whole other family
00:20:10.920
I'm connected to are they playing at the same like I would look around as you probably did for
00:20:17.160
the ear or different things yeah because it's when you're adopted and you don't have that mirror of
00:20:22.920
seeing yourself in your family you're looking for it constantly yeah that would be weird
00:20:29.100
right yeah and so I remember the first time you and I met we were like comparing our arms and
00:20:35.420
legs and like looking scanning each other kind of oh that's where and it's a cool thing when
00:20:42.060
you're not used to having that that was a mind blower but let's go to so I thought it was two
00:20:50.680
weeks before your 18th birthday so okay so we'll go back to yeah so i well should we tell that when
00:20:59.980
we were young talking to god's story because it kind of leads into the other stuff yeah i mean
00:21:04.800
the more we know each other now the more we see my god we're exactly alike it's amazing it is
00:21:12.160
right and so it ain't nurture because you had kind of a rich family and i there's no nurture
00:21:21.900
you had sane parents yeah and and well everyone's has their things no but you lucked out it's nature
00:21:31.400
and nurture for sure but it was like instant and we'll talk about when we first know but why are we
00:21:37.100
exactly alike we are oh no i mean there's that there's no what is that i mean it's the cord
00:21:45.100
always right even with the so i'll tell you some well we should talk about the okay so let's start
00:21:52.660
with you said two weeks before the phone call so this was well what we didn't know and you can tell
00:22:00.880
your story of how the press came to you after the barbara walters interview and they said listen we
00:22:07.900
know you have a daughter you gave up for adoption right do you want to tell that story happened
00:22:13.080
they shoved you in the elevator before the story came out you wanted me not to find out that way
00:22:19.960
right so you hired somebody that's right so but here okay yeah that's so all right so i'll back
00:22:27.060
up so it's my senior year of high school i'm just trying to get through it my birthday's in may it's
00:22:32.740
prom it's this it's that and all that and all of a sudden i'm at the checkout and i see a tabloid
00:22:40.660
and there's at the top is roseanne bar gives up child for adoption i was like oh well that's
00:22:46.900
interesting there were no details it didn't say male female it didn't have any distinguishing
00:22:53.620
information about that all right listen i got to a point where i realized that every time i went to
00:23:00.060
the doctor i'd leave with absolutely nothing useful they say go drink more water and then
00:23:05.460
they send you home like you're a house plant meanwhile disease runs in my family i'm getting
00:23:10.600
older too everybody's tired everybody has brain fog and nobody knows what the hell is actually
1.00
00:23:15.560
going on inside their body handheld that's why i got obsessed with superpower they make it stupid
0.89
00:23:23.520
simple you can have a licensed professional come to your house or go to a nearby lab
0.66
00:23:27.940
do one set of lab tests and they check over 100 biomarkers not the basic not the basic stuff but
00:23:35.080
i'm talking heart health hormones metabolism thyroid vitamin levels toxins all of it that
00:23:41.500
actually explains things in normal human language and finally instead of guessing should i sleep more
00:23:48.380
should I take vitamins, should I change my diet?
00:23:50.520
You will get a real personalized health plan based on your results.
00:23:55.120
They even tell you your biological age, which is terrifying, but it is useful.
00:24:00.380
What I like is they track your health over time so you can actually see
00:24:03.600
if what you're doing is working instead of starting over every New Year's Eve like some lunatic.

00:27:28.340
the car well I'm gonna tell that story but this is the show was number one you word the story
00:27:34.440
everywhere yeah the biggest star in the world at the time right yeah and it was like been crazy
00:27:39.840
it was weird enough to get a call saying your birth mother's looking for you and then
00:27:45.120
this whole other I was like oh my god are you kidding me so I hang up the phone and I'm like
00:27:51.800
the room starts spinning and I'm like trying to take it in like it changed things and I'm looking
00:27:59.000
at the pictures on the wall and I'm wondering like who of the rest of the family have I like
00:28:04.040
do I not even know from this whole other side what do I say this is so weird I feel this instant
00:28:09.980
connection but we're also strangers and like we don't have a language like it's all this stuff
00:28:14.360
look down on the coffee table and it was like the you know the tv guides that they used to have
00:28:18.760
and it's you and I was like you guys are really funny like this is and I just staring at you I'm
00:28:28.360
like oh so it's you huh like it was just this weird moment it looked like you so then I ran
00:28:35.500
to the bathroom and I'm like looking in the mirror like what a weird reality that I have
00:28:40.340
your picture and I'm like looking in the mirror of us together and I was like oh because I saw it
00:28:46.760
i mean how could you not right um but you're on the cover of the freaking dallas tv guide and i
00:28:53.740
was like oh this is weird this is gonna be weird and then next thing i know because i but i also
00:29:01.200
was like protective of you because it was like none of that stuff meant that to me like it was
00:29:07.320
about you and i was like i don't want to come in anyway i started getting the calls from the oprahs
00:29:14.900
and the this and the that to do all the you know you know offers paying for college to do interviews
00:29:21.360
and the camera crews are outside it was the days of inside edition yeah yeah they could just show
00:29:28.280
up at your door and anytime i tried to leave the house this was not my reality at all i'm just this
00:29:33.520
little you know texas trying to graduate you probably were used to it it was a few years
00:29:40.400
into all that there's a van outside and I was like hostage in the house like it was just such
00:29:45.680
a weird and I was like I don't want to start my relationship with you with any of that like that
00:29:54.140
was not I don't know how I even at 18 understood or knew or you know had the capacity to like I
00:30:04.580
just knew everybody wanted stuff from you and I didn't want anything other than just you and me
00:30:10.240
but it was like it took on then we're on the cover of the national inquirer on my 18th birthday i'm
00:30:16.560
having to walk into school and people are like it was weird to like see the response from everybody
00:30:22.660
um they're chasing gail into the house she parks the car too far and she's diving over the hood of
00:30:29.780
the car and they're like they call the house phone and they're like we won't use that footage like
00:30:34.760
they were kind still kind of but they would not let me my car was in front with the van so anytime
00:30:42.580
i would go even to drive to school oh my god they would rush me with the so i was like what how do
00:30:49.500
i even handle this so i ended up crazy ordering a pizza to the van and as the pizza delivery guy
00:30:58.700
came they saw me like run to the car and they're like okay we're gonna let you off the hook for
00:31:03.480
tonight because that's really funny that you did that and it was like i was trying to find these
00:31:08.700
weird escapes and then we were so nervous we still hadn't met we're like how do we do this
00:31:13.500
without them chasing or ruining that moment well i remember when i called you i talked mostly to gail
00:31:19.900
we had a great tell me your memory of that because i don't think i've heard you talk about
00:31:26.120
i was staying at the mayflower hotel when i was filming the movie she devil
00:31:30.560
and uh that was weird enough because the first night i got a phone call and they go hi
00:31:38.880
and i'm like who's this you know go through it and then it ends up would you like it this is my
0.96
00:31:44.900
wife would you like us to come over and have sex with you what that was my first night ever in new
0.97
00:31:50.520
York on this at the Mayfell just yeah that was a part of the service or do you know who I am
0.99
00:31:59.680
oh my god and they go no we just know when someone checks into room 513 I go oh I
0.95
00:32:08.800
I don't think you and your wife would want to have sex with me so no um but anyway and weird
00:32:19.880
it was weird that's weird plus i was dating um uh or whatever what was being
00:32:28.120
uh with the one who will or won't be named today well we named him but i mean
00:32:35.640
that was a whole other that was a whole other other worldly thing it was like i was
00:32:41.540
because that's when we met i was seeing miracles and being dragged into hell
00:32:50.740
at the very same time interesting it was weird but uh yeah it was weird for me but um
00:32:58.460
well tell me how that call was on my door and they go hi roseanne in my mayflower like how'd
00:33:06.760
you get up here this was the tabloid yeah okay and he says we have this envelope um we know where
00:33:16.220
your daughter and i'm like oh so that's the night that i called the lawyer and he said uh put 25
00:33:25.140
000 in a plan i'll get the information so later i found out he just gave it to the inquirer i mean
00:34:00.940
until you agree to that and i go okay it was supposed to be like information about me and
00:34:07.980
where i was in the packet yeah they were like okay what do i have to do okay 25k on the way
00:34:14.440
and the next day they go we found her you know because they called each other and split the
00:34:19.720
money and and uh well either way so then i called you and i was talking to gail mostly
00:34:28.460
and you weren't hardly talking at all and so i go brandy do you feel weird are you
00:34:37.920
why aren't you talking and you said um no i'm just trying to figure this out
00:34:45.260
then we said well we'll see each other and we you know made it she was mad you
00:34:51.900
weren't Bette Midler is what it was well she looked so much like Goldie Hawn yeah that's where
00:34:59.360
I could see like she'd be so disappointed that must have been so disappointing to find out it
00:35:03.160
was Roseanne Barr right I mean it was amazing to and then to have that right in front of me it was
00:35:10.860
like the signs and miracles are there all the time we just don't always notice and I think
00:35:15.800
um but we had to move up our time and our day because we were so worried that you know yeah
00:35:22.980
we wanted our moment before it became everyone else's that's so weird so you guys were rushed
00:35:28.020
that's the part we were rushed because the inquirer said they were going to release the
00:35:31.460
story yeah right and they i was already on the yeah cover right yeah she was already but that's
00:35:37.100
crazy so you guys met in secret i imagine yeah that was wild so gail and i get on a plane and
00:35:43.480
We were coming out to see you and Geraldine, your sister, for the weekend.
00:35:52.480
Are we just supposed to hang out in Beverly Hills and go have a meal?
00:36:04.420
But between that time and when we saw each other, I had put this photo album together.
00:36:09.560
I was like, I want you to know these moments, right?
00:36:12.320
we're putting these pieces together and um and as i'm doing that like i learn about you know
00:36:19.320
my other siblings and like i'm trying to picture them during these moments i'm trying to picture
00:36:25.460
what was happening with you as i'm putting this together it's like we had it is it's like a puzzle
00:36:31.700
we're pretty we're putting the pieces back together and um but i remember so we got on a
00:36:37.040
plane we came out to see you and we had it set at this hotel and you were going to get a suite
00:36:44.940
but we like i think gail and i were like nervous we didn't know like how to process it so we're
00:36:50.340
like we'll go downstairs to the cafe for an hour before and like just sit there and you were probably
00:36:56.040
you came early and i go oh my god i gotta have a cup of coffee before i go up there yeah so we're
00:37:02.120
like oh great we have this whole thing planned out and then we almost blew it and we're just
00:37:08.280
i walked in and said um i'd like to have a cup of coffee and then it was like the magnets
00:37:18.200
it was our eyes yeah or like magnets that's okay and we both started running we ran to each other
00:37:26.360
and i had a bodyguard and he grabbed us and shoved us through the cafe into the elevator
00:37:33.720
he's like naughty because he goes no why because he thought people were going to take videos or
00:37:37.880
something yeah yeah yeah yeah everyone knew it was me but i didn't have any control so the first
00:37:44.120
time you met a bodyguard was pushing you into an elevator shaft yeah well so i saw her walk in the
00:37:49.480
door and i'm sitting here and we just were like whoo and so we like sort of ran to each other in
00:37:55.560
the room we're like embracing we're crying or whatever and then everyone's like oh my god like
00:38:00.700
because they thought i don't know people are gonna swoop in and get the story or whatever so yeah
00:38:05.700
he's like we made this plan we're gonna get you in the elevator we're gonna go up to the suite
00:38:09.860
and it was such a sweet moment because it you and gail and we had uh champagne popping and it was
00:38:17.160
like for me to see you two like thank each other yeah for the amazing gifts that you gave to each
00:38:26.600
other and just the um what a wonderful woman what a wonderful woman and mother my baby mama
00:38:35.320
yeah oh my god it was just this moment of like wow i i can't even and prayer and it was so judaic
00:38:45.380
it really was and I think that that's maybe what got us through the time apart because
00:38:52.820
I think that I heard you say oh I'll find you when you're 18 I never it was never
00:38:59.800
um a negative thing or a concern or any of that I don't know maybe at 18 you don't
00:39:06.520
look at your life yet maybe it would have happened later but um there was a knowing
00:39:11.320
well we bonded because i got you for three days yeah that must have been so hard
0.97
00:39:17.200
yeah i didn't realize it was three days i thought that they okay and uh like handmaid's tale shit
00:39:23.520
yeah it was awful and then uh so you downloaded all kinds of stuff to me oh i three days yeah
0.99
00:39:29.380
i i fixed you right up that's where you got all your mental illness from
0.67
00:39:33.160
then i just said okay you know there was sort of this like i knew when you're 18 didn't even feel
00:39:42.100
weird it was like oh this is as it was supposed to be minus the the inquire but maybe that's what
00:39:49.420
pushed us like i'm also grateful for that because it brought us together because if i hadn't been
00:39:55.220
famous who knows if we would have right you know and if i didn't have if i wasn't famous i wouldn't
0.96
00:40:01.640
have that pain in the ass following me around and they're the ones that found it they bribed
0.93
00:40:07.240
somebody in the denver county clerk's office yeah didn't the inquire find brandy before the p.i
0.99
00:40:12.400
right like the the national inquiry yeah and the p.i calls no i know they split the money i mean
00:40:18.280
that's an amazing thing isn't that guy who will remain unnamed ended up in prison because he did
00:40:23.980
a lot of not great things but yeah he for sure was on the pay i don't know like on the payroll
00:40:30.060
they're all on the payroll in hollywood that's how the inquire works so it's all bribes no i remember
00:40:35.100
i sued the inquirer in one yeah but enough about that but i think that's amazing so we met that
00:40:41.900
weekend yeah and it was instant and it was and i remember like because i'm an overthinker and i
00:40:47.820
don't know if that's the jewish gene or if that's just our family or whatever but like i was running
00:40:52.460
through all of this and i'm in the car you're driving you're in the driver's seat gail's in
00:40:58.460
the passenger and I'm in the back like kind of in the middle having this moment like oh my god I'm
00:41:03.640
the bridge like between these two women and thank you but also um how do I how do we all get out of
00:41:12.020
this unscathed because I knew it's a lot of work that we've done yeah with each other with all of
00:41:18.280
us and there's like this sort of subtext that they don't tell you about um and I'm actually
00:41:24.100
writing about it now and I'm writing a book about our story but also just the the adoption as an
00:41:30.600
adoptee process of healing it because so many of the books like are not on and I don't want to say
00:41:37.160
the other side it's constant life work that I'm doing but what we all learn from this is absolutely
00:41:45.200
incredible like I don't it is right like to see things in such a different way to learn almost a
00:41:51.100
new language with a new family to give love unconditionally with everybody because there's
00:41:57.360
this sort of and I don't want to hurt anyone both my parents passed in 2024 um so the larger family
00:42:07.120
but anyway there is a subtext of we raised her what are you doing coming back yeah um and there
00:42:16.620
is a subtext of the other side which is thank you for taking care of my my baby cub i got her now i
00:42:23.840
got makeup for lost time and it was this constant yeah and i don't think people understood it and
00:42:29.800
they everyone was lovely and well intended everybody was but there was a lot of my dealt
00:42:35.820
right everybody dealt like you said today everyone stayed they did and everyone which is amazing and
00:42:44.100
I don't know a lot of other families that would have, or other adoptee.
00:42:54.780
We all were like, how can we get through this with everybody?
00:43:01.760
Even when we have to check ourselves or do a thing or get our feelings hurt or whatever.
00:43:06.680
And not everybody in all families, but like the key players, enough.
00:43:12.920
you have to deal even if you're even if you're like the most mature people in the world it's
00:43:16.860
still a weird how'd you feel when you met your siblings well that's the story i really want to
00:43:22.600
tell oh my god that's the best so my favorite story so anyway hold on so we're in the car
00:43:27.780
and i'm like having this moment and you look through the rearview mirror and there's this
00:43:31.560
flash that we get because and we've talked about this like i my first memory my first core memory
00:43:38.860
i'm three years old in my hall closet as a jewish girl like created my own catholic confessional
00:43:45.820
talking to god and like okay i'm back and how can i help and what is all this about and i know you
00:43:51.460
have your genesis story too so we have this moment where we're looking i'm looking at you in the river
00:43:57.160
mirror where we're like without even words we shared that story so just that attunement that
00:44:05.740
we were always like had this connection and we were walking with the divine shekinah hashem
00:44:10.720
whatever word you use for it the the the direct connect that we always trusted and then we had
00:44:17.840
it together but anyway so this download comes and that night i wrote like a five page letter to you
00:44:27.380
explaining all the ways that i used to have the gift of sight i knew what people were thinking
00:44:32.600
feeling from lots of stuff that you had too so anyway I wrote this whole all the things that I
00:44:39.120
probably couldn't say in the phone call and in during the weekend and all that because I'm a
00:44:44.040
writer it comes out that way and um you know on the hotel stationery and the whole deal and I
00:44:51.500
anyway so you called to say goodbye and I said I have this letter and you said
00:44:59.300
yours will be in the mail i wrote you too and that was our first like oh we'd written kind of
00:45:06.060
each other the same letter to each other like i see you i recognize you and you know let's
00:45:13.240

where i wrote about you know my imaginary friend as a girl was god and you too i mean we're exactly
00:45:30.260
it's it's wild here's the funny story so i thought everybody did this i thought i didn't understand
00:45:38.060
so i invited my girlfriend in to the closet and we're sitting there and she's like what is this
00:45:44.980
we're like we're sitting in a dark closet of the toys in here like what is this and I was like oh
00:45:52.120
not everybody does this right so I was like fine you know I got a little offended but I was like
00:45:59.160
I'm not going to share this space with anyone so cut to it's Super Bowl Sunday Gail leaves Barry
00:46:06.460
and Stanley my brother and father in charge they're not paying attention to me I'm very
00:46:11.180
passive aggressive and brilliant at that and I decided I'm gonna run away from home I packed my
00:46:17.620
little bag I can't cross a busy street so I don't know how far I could go but I was like okay so I
00:46:23.100

0.54
00:47:27.800
mine was always like um i have to be alone i'm a kind of a hermit and when it hits me i gotta run
00:47:38.340
it hits me at weird times too i'm like you know i'll be back and then the the i like that we call
00:47:47.120
it download the download of swift information you get some good good downloads i do and i'm
00:47:57.260
so grateful that he has gifted me with that and I always had it since I was three I remember my
00:48:06.520
first uh you know experience with seeing another dimension was at age three and going you're going
0.65
00:48:14.920
to pull this dimension down and make it visible and I have indeed done that that's pretty damn
00:48:24.320
cool over and over and over yeah I think maybe a million times too but but that is what it is I
00:48:32.560
feel like that is what being Jewish means is creating a world where God dwells here yes where
00:48:41.460
heaven is here it's not in an afterlife it's not another faith where you're waiting to the Jewish
00:48:48.100
on earth as it is in heaven that's what that means and it in its in perfection and in its
00:48:56.960
contradiction all of it all of it and it's inside the human machine it's inside the mind heart body
00:49:07.800
and soul yeah you don't have to go out there looking for it right right you're building it
00:49:13.440
within and that i mean that is yeah you're building your vessel to contain divine information
00:49:20.620
right so now you're 55 double nickels my favorite number what are we gonna do are we gonna start
00:49:31.240
doing our revivals and being teaching kabbalah and doing all this stuff we've done a little
00:49:37.720
bit here and there but we have done a little bit here and there i have to say i want to thank you
00:49:42.180
for that because i i grew up very like the traditional jewish aspect of like sunday school
00:49:50.660
and summer camps and all that which was great for like the connective tissue of the holidays and the
00:49:56.940
prayers and all that but i always had this you know more mystical more mystical side right like
00:50:04.420
okay well where's the you know where's that aspect and i didn't know it was in judaism all along i
00:50:11.060
didn't know and I think what was really cool was so we had our moment and then we went back to like
00:50:17.820
life is we knew it I went to college and then I came out to work on the show right and we were
00:50:25.360
like and it was such a weird thing because it was like I was the boss's daughter and yet I didn't
00:50:31.440
even know what that meant yet because we were still like finding a language and how to even do
00:50:37.400
that we we threw it all in there girl we were like working together also working through our
00:50:43.180
own stuff and I think that you know I didn't understand that post reunion you still go through
00:50:50.800
the same growth that you would yeah but now I'm 20 in the toddler phase and so we had all of that
00:50:58.800
we were going through it we didn't I don't even think we understood some of that but you taking
00:51:05.160
me to the kabbalah center not only just to awaken myself but to give us a language
00:51:10.420
yeah that's true huh was so important because then we could work through our stuff through that
00:51:16.580
yeah um and create our own but i don't think people taught like it is a whole new language
00:51:24.240
it's a whole new reality and a whole new connection but actually it's just a clarification
00:51:31.080
of what you always knew but didn't have the roots i love that it's it's outside of the mind control
00:51:37.280
cage it's the actual reality of how things actually work with god at the head it's true
00:51:44.540
and you know they they've taken that from us but of course some of us have taken it back and
00:51:51.560
you know we we really want to share it with people because we're supposed to do that
00:51:56.280
right but now it's like so dark and there's so many people saying terrible things about
00:52:02.140
judaism torah and jews and they're not even true but they're shoving it down people's
00:52:08.400
lies historical lies uh theological lies um why do you think why do you think well because god
0.82
00:52:17.920
says in torah that he created this realm this earth to be the place where good and evil would
00:52:24.520
battle it out to the end and that good wins right but what do you think
00:52:31.240
people are scared of because i think the such the bigger part of the narrative is
00:52:39.160
who people are listening to and why and it's not the proud jews it's the people who hate us and
00:52:44.760
that's how they're learning what judaism is and the october 7th and the holocaust that we have
00:52:50.980
made our story are not our story that's the story of people who want to harm us we need to be able
00:52:57.460
to tell our own jewish joy stories of what actually judaism brings to the world and they
00:53:03.480
don't want us to do that why do you think and we need to and we keep we keep on our back foot like
0.81
00:53:10.460
you know trying to defend and this and that so that we don't ever get to that i don't that's
00:53:15.300
you don't but i don't a lot of people do you're strong in and i appreciate how strong you are
00:53:21.460
because i know history and i know the truth and uh you know i know what was done and i i know
00:53:28.920
and and there's archaeological proof it's scientific fact right and they are not for fact
00:53:35.900
they are not for truth and uh you know they it's demonic it is demonic that's what it is because
00:53:43.940
satan hates the jews satan hates the jews because we are god's people yeah and of course he's going
00:53:53.320
to try to destroy us it's in my show in the book of job the book of job explains it all
00:53:58.820
but what do you think they're like no one tries to suppress something so much unless they're scared
00:54:05.460
of what it carries as what i think well they are scared of what it carries because it carries a one
00:54:13.020
uh it carries oh my god i have to be responsible for the things i think it is and the things i do
00:54:22.480
it's me it's not them right i am them and them are me right and i've got to stop this
0.93
00:54:34.880
this bullshit it's satanic it's demonic it's uh you know there's a right and there's wrong
0.98
00:54:43.820
period always and they are all about double standards and that's how you know when it's
1.00
00:54:51.640
satanic when it singles out the jew it's satanic when it singles out anybody if you're not consistent
0.93
00:55:12.100
If you're treating one group differently than every other,
00:55:19.980
Jews are just the most recent example, in my opinion.
1.00
00:55:25.920
And it's like when Jews behave like human beings,
1.00
00:55:29.420
that is satanic that's how they think yeah when jews behave like human beings and not like uh
0.97
00:55:38.380
they imagine a chosen people would be uh then they get very angry because i think they think that a
00:55:47.900
if a people was truly chosen they would be superhuman but no no well this i think it's
00:55:55.820
really interesting with the chosen because for me it's like i've got a double dose the adoption
00:56:01.740
and the jewish story yeah around chosen or yeah because you're choosing yeah because adoptive
00:56:08.320
parents choose right and then not knowing my history or roots like if it was a one question
00:56:15.540
that's different than every single year with the physicals like it was in my face like you don't
0.60
00:56:22.420
know this you don't know this and then the Jewish thing right but I think people it's chosen for a
0.73
00:56:30.160
mission as is every other soul it isn't chosen above and I think it got a rewrite from bad
00:56:38.480
actors but it's chosen for a mission everybody's chosen for a mission I was going to say that
00:56:45.300
about the goy word um it actually means gentiles and as my teacher told me the definition of
00:56:55.740
gentile is a gentle soul they are not in uproar and a self-war like we jews are yeah and so that's
00:57:07.520
what it means and i'm sick of them saying that we hate no gentiles or that we hate we understand
00:57:14.400
We know our war is within and amongst our own.
1.00
00:57:17.860
I like Gentiles more than Jews, to be honest with you.
1.00
00:57:26.160
But they can be led astray very easily, which we're seeing in America right now.
00:57:35.180
People get confused when we talk about double standards.
00:57:55.400
they're like Epstein and this human trafficking
1.00
00:58:45.700
That's why I always try and bring it here.
0.81
00:58:49.800
It's like I don't want to see people fall for demonic mind control that I love.
0.99
00:58:55.060
I don't give a fuck if you're a Christian or Jew or Muslim.
1.00
00:58:57.380
If you're falling for this double standard, you're falling for mind control.
1.00
00:59:05.440
You're using the Jews as your moral hostages, and that is not going to go well for you.
0.97
00:59:14.120
And you're ignoring a proven child rape trafficking organization that just came out.
0.95
00:59:23.900
Have you seen anyone in the woke right mention this?
00:59:27.140
Well, they're all working for the organization that owns all of it.
0.86
00:59:31.300
And, you know, they say Epstein, Epstein and every other Jewish name they can throw out there.
0.96
00:59:36.640
But the fact is, as I've said for how many years now, Epstein would be jack shit and have gotten nowhere if it weren't for the royal family, specifically Andrew and some say the king himself.
0.96
00:59:51.980
and all the other royals who gave epstein the keys to the city of london where he perpetuated
0.96
01:00:00.080
the greatest fraud on the working class of all the world and uh so you know it's always the royals
01:00:08.940
that you know push the jews out to the hungry dogs of the street like okay you're talking about
0.96
01:00:15.140
tucker he's an anglican that that's a you know imperialist uk thing um nepo baby as dan yeah
0.97
01:00:25.760
and uh you know the pope he's in bed with city of london he launders money for him he controls
0.99
01:00:31.940
the un and anti-semitic devil worshiping organization which i'm so glad trump destroyed
0.94
01:00:39.240
it's horrible candace is married to a lord yeah uh-huh she is a baroness and they're all
1.00
01:00:46.700
friggin royals and you know they just feed us bullshit yeah day and night and then put a jew
0.99
01:00:53.040
in the window yeah well you know trump knows it too and that is why trump has done everything
1.00
01:01:28.920
um Judaism is the medicine that the world needs how do we how do we get that out there instead of
01:01:39.200
saying what's wrong and um who's doing what and all that yes I think you guys speak to that very
01:01:48.380
well week you know on this podcast but what is your message more to the medicine that Judaism
01:01:56.800
provides the world because I see it all the time I see it with the weekly Torah portions I see it
01:02:02.980
with Rosh Chodesh with the women with the Shekinah like I think there's just anytime there's a
01:02:10.060
suppression of thought or ideas to me there's like oh well there's something really in indigenous
01:02:17.240
communities and wisdom with women with Jews we have the medicine the world needs yeah and they're
1.00
01:02:25.260
scared of it and it is about women it's all about it's all about women and um that's why they don't
1.00
01:02:32.220
like it because israel is the liberator of women right and they don't like it they don't even see
0.91
01:02:40.640
it do they no they're under such heavy satanic mind control that they would call the liberator
0.83
01:02:47.600
the worst nation the liberator of women in that whole region uh-huh in yeah and then i mean as
01:02:55.800
the seed of that everywhere of all three abrahamic religions that are you know two of which are
01:03:02.480
incredibly anti-women so how do you see this balance we're so out of balance because
01:03:09.240
the male has taken over right the shekinah has been in exile how do we no that's not true
0.66
01:03:16.680
okay tell me the male the male is the one who channels the male is the one who raises her
01:03:24.660
okay so what do we need that's why i went like you know on the holidays when the men
01:03:29.840
have to dress in white and lay flat on the floor when the women don't
01:03:34.800
the men have to humble themselves more in order to accept uh
0.58
01:03:40.440
And the fact that that is up to them to raise the female and the mother to save, protect, honor the mother, their mother.
01:04:06.600
that's the whole story of well that's the whole story of 1.3 billion women right well like i told
0.88
01:04:14.240
jake the day that the women in gaza said f you to hamas and went to the israeli corridors
01:04:20.420
i knew that was huge and it is huge iran woke up all the men too in and they are now like uh you
01:04:28.420
know demonstrating against hamas in the streets of gaza it's the higher intelligence and the same
01:04:34.960
with you know why i lost my job because i was communicating with women journalists in iran about
0.97
01:04:41.980
the shit fucking deadly satanic iran deal of obama and valerie jarrett and i did want to ask you that
0.97
01:04:50.620
how did you feel when your mother was uh fired and the whole jewish humiliation routine i had
1.00
01:04:59.500
the gauntlet how did you feel it was rough because you and i had been at the up fronts a few weeks
01:05:05.140
before all that when they were celebrating you and it was all a big thing and and you know i worked
01:05:11.860
i was working in peace building but also kind of in media so like when the show came back it was
01:05:18.380
so important because middle america's voice had you know all this stuff with sinclair news and it
01:05:24.980
was obvious like certain sound bites were being put out from and both coasts were you know um kind
01:05:32.620
of in charge of that narrative and a lot of people in middle america from your original show just
01:05:38.700
didn't have a voice and felt that and were the punch line and joke instead of being listened to
01:05:45.700
what they were going through and it was a hard time and now they call them the uh racist trump
01:05:50.880
supporters right and so that's like the framing right so when the when the reboot came I was so
01:06:00.320
excited because you could tell they were like oh someone's talking to us and not talking down but
01:06:05.920
like actually having a conversation um because when we work together like anyway I think there
01:06:15.020
were certain things that changed in hollywood in terms of like more diversity of different groups
01:06:21.300
and colors but not a diversity of thought right and so just bots you know i understood
01:06:28.000
um what was happening it's the pattern recognition right and knowing you and your whole history
01:06:35.820
of who you raised up who you supported and the way that they made it into the racist thing when
01:06:42.480
it wasn't at all and it was I didn't even know how to be there for you or hold it because I could
01:06:48.540
tell what they were doing and they were trying to and it was just the juxtaposition of you and I
01:06:53.240
having just been in New York together celebrating um then the tweet hitting and then again the
01:07:00.480
the doxing of your mom's house and people like where we've gotten to in civil society that we're
01:07:07.360
like okay with these things and the canceling and all of that instead of like having a learning
01:07:12.280
moment or having a conversation and was like heartbreaking because I didn't know how to be
01:07:17.140
there for you in that moment and also I knew we as your kids couldn't say anything and that you
01:07:24.700
couldn't say anything and that the spin as we're seeing now is everybody else telling the story
01:07:30.460
instead of the actual people that could have had a voice in that moment to speak their truth they
01:07:35.960
don't allow that no they don't allow that at all and um you know whatever anyone thought like in
01:07:44.100
how you said it or the missteps or the this or the that like just the cruelty of how and these
01:07:50.840
were people that we worked on the show together who doubled down and made it way worse than it
01:07:58.440
would have ever been had they not it was the deepest like heartbreak to see like people that
01:08:04.480
i i don't know if you felt this way but like they were your family yeah you gave them careers or at
01:08:12.540
least help their careers to some extent like at the very least they could have just not said
01:08:17.140
anything well i wrote all the lines that came out of their mouth that people loved them saying
01:08:22.160
that was so hard to like and not know how to be there for you with that had to feel like just
01:08:30.920
complete utter betrayal um it did it felt like oh my god they're gonna try to kill me well it was
01:08:37.560
utter betrayal i didn't feel like it it was absolutely betrayal yeah 100 and it was weird
01:08:42.560
because you would you would think better of people that you're close to but well you would think
01:08:46.400
that know you that know your work that know decades of what you stood for what what the show was about
01:08:52.240
what the issues are like it's absolutely absurd to anyone who knows you even in the littlest bit
01:08:58.420
that that's how they painted it as a racist tweet that well it was there like uh michael
01:09:03.880
fishman's a perfect example for him it was his chance to you know virtue signal so he knew he
01:09:10.080
was doing it wrong but he was like this is an opportunity that might help me and that's the
01:09:13.520
grossest thing and that's the grossest thing people yeah like i just that's unforgivable
01:09:19.140
goodman and and and and you know maybe laurie they're kind of kept quiet i didn't like it they
01:09:24.720
should have stood up for mom but at least they were kind of quiet right for someone like fishman
01:09:29.180
or sarah that was hard or whitney to go out there and be like oh this is my chance to talk about this
01:09:33.080
on a podcast and built my name that's the grossest thing i've ever seen i'm not even mad about it
01:09:37.840
anymore i'm disgusted which is worse than that well it's hard i thought it was just uh you know
01:09:43.920
i was so glad you know that i was a jew and that i had all that in me to hang tight yeah um because
01:09:52.940
if i didn't have that i don't think i would have lived i had that like you're walking through the
01:09:59.100
fire right now but um there's a reason for it and uh you helped you helped the women in iran
01:10:09.660
and that's all i wanted to do with that tweet and it did yeah and i saw evidence of that every
01:10:17.160
single day more getting stronger and stronger and now you know just now i was thinking people
01:10:24.480
might be able to understand what i was saying in my tweet just now just now 10 years later well
01:10:30.820
you got to ask yourself like the the people's responses and that they went to that that's their
01:10:36.320
own mirror for them to look at right why they were and why they iterated it and all of those things
01:10:42.460
but i think you're right like and you're a lot of ahead of the curve and we as your kids like
01:10:48.120
you say stuff and we're like uh well you know we're considering it but we're like
01:10:52.900
maybe not there yet and then there's always a period like a few years later we're like
01:10:57.280
oh i understand now that's gonna happen with the royals with all the stuff about the royals that's
01:11:03.300
gonna that's like your mk ultra from 20 years ago that's now mainstream the royals will start
01:11:07.720
happening how about like in 2011 when i coined the greatest hashtag ever which i see they've
01:11:14.740
scraped from x or whatever what hashtag pedo ponzi ponzi pirate priest class
01:11:26.540
i can't wait till people get that of phallic pharonic or there's more to it
01:11:57.980
Like, don't let that pull you down into a lower frequency
01:12:01.520
by spending too much time there oh it hasn't you can you know what i mean you can speak truth or
01:12:06.600
power you can say all those things but also bring the other piece which i think is so important that
01:12:11.900
i think a lot of i think it's time to start talking about judaism no almost no american
01:12:17.860
jews know a thing well it's painful to carry when you've seen what carrying it means for your family
1.00
01:12:24.080
right well but they wasn't even carrying it they was coming up with some hybrid shit that came
0.94
01:12:29.260
from a bunch of lunatics i think there are a lot more but the real stuff now october 8th
0.92
01:12:36.260
people were like oh our grandmas we thought were crazy telling us don't get too comfortable there
01:12:42.120
people are gonna turn even in rooms people are seeing it and i think um well because it's a
01:12:48.040
tactic of royal power yeah well it is a nazi playbook i mean it goes back before even then
01:13:02.080
And they've been trying to breed humans like they did with the African slaves they brought here.
0.99
01:13:16.620
Because the royals helped set him up to do it.
0.98
01:13:25.940
they set up all these fake countries just so they can have war and sell weapons
0.99
01:13:33.960
i've been really going deep with the god just wants us to witness it to be brave enough to
01:13:42.960
open your eyes and witness what's right in front of you and people cannot do it they go and they
0.97
01:13:48.900
give them an easy out look at the jews but hey look at how power works look how it works you
0.63
01:13:58.140
to tell you the answers are outside of you that's how it works i think i'd love to hear more about
0.53
01:14:07.440
like the pattern recognition that we see but also the understanding that
01:14:14.920
we also have the antidote well we do absolutely it's not only to be able to recognize but then
01:14:22.480
what do we do and i think people don't realize you know people ask here's like what would you do
01:14:28.540
during the holocaust like people ask these questions what would i have done whatever
01:14:33.520
you're doing now because you're buying the same thing yeah and wherever i know what i would have
0.94
01:14:39.760
done had i been there tell me i would have shot every jew in power who spoke for me yeah i would
0.99
01:14:52.320
have shot them in their beds just like the maccabees was going there no just like the
0.99
01:15:00.140
maccabees did that's how the maccabees won they snuck down from out of the mountains using
0.94
01:15:07.060
bonfires bows and arrows and they shot the colluding high priest of the temple
01:15:14.860
right through the neck and then paraded his head around on a stick yeah and the romans or
01:15:21.680
i mean it was the greeks then ran in horror because i mean you can't get more real than that
1.00
01:15:28.980
yeah it's like was it proportionate fuck you you're trying to kill me i'm gonna kill you yeah
1.00
01:15:37.980
i'm gonna kill you before you kill me because that's what god told me to do fuck you why did
1.00
01:15:46.060
you look at the camera for that so they can see my eyes fuck y'all you don't even know but if this
1.00
01:15:52.420
if this iteration of anti-semitism and i say that because i love you sorry brandy what we said
0.99
01:15:58.580
we're getting say what if if it's the same iteration in the same pattern right for anti-semitism
0.98
01:16:04.980
jew hatred however we want to say it for the times it's we have to kill our leaders who collude
0.99
01:16:13.180
with our genocidal enemies i agree with that's one yeah okay well let's not kill them because
0.99
01:16:20.640
i don't want to go to prison but i what i do on shabbat is i pray against them that they be removed
01:16:28.560
Not that they die, but they'd be removed and replaced with a person of conscience.
01:16:38.140
Because the Jews, we do have the antidote,
1.00
01:16:42.420
and the antidote is in Jewish meditation and prayer.
1.00
01:16:58.560
uh arousing the upper court the upper world hear you not not sit there babbling asking for shit
0.99
01:17:11.320
when you pray but to actually ask to be a living channel of your source
0.90
01:17:20.520
there's nothing more fun than that it's pretty great it's pretty fun
01:17:26.540

opposed okay they tried to get me parents divorce to sit on the other side of this ginormous table
01:21:42.120
with gail shrink and i was like yeah i was like no there's no way there's gonna be any confidence
01:21:47.740

abuse we'd go to family therapy in a lockdown facility like this one and and they would it
01:22:00.840
never ended well yeah so I'm like well okay I mean I had some context but I'm like literally
01:22:08.140
the first time meeting you and you're like cowering like you couldn't make eye contact
01:22:11.800
with me and the whole nine so we go in and I was like okay well it'll probably just be a
01:22:16.680
continuation of family therapy like they're not gonna call on me it's not gonna be a thing like
01:22:22.080
I don't know what where you left off and where so the doctor is like well how does everyone feel
01:22:29.000
to have brandy with us and I was like are you shitting me right now like I'm looking for a hole
01:22:34.120

01:22:56.840
We're going to hog tie him when you come here tomorrow.
0.99
01:23:15.900

01:23:20.680
of jess's story or do you want her okay so she was going to a can you fill in the gap of what
01:23:28.140
the meeting was a a i guess we'll just say that i don't want to anyway and the and the doctor's
01:23:34.840
like well you'll go with her so the nanny at the time drives we're still have not barely spoken
01:23:43.240
to this meeting and they all think I'm there like to be part of this get the chip the first day
01:23:49.640
whole thing right and I was like okay well I guess I'll do whatever I'm supposed to do because I'm
01:23:54.480
trying to bond with my sister and uh it was the most horribly uncomfortable and it was like all
01:24:01.980
these kids of Hollywood celebs and people that have been through it at a very young age I'm very
01:24:08.620
pristine still a virgin like i don't you know and i'm feeling bad being a voyeur to these stories
01:24:14.360
that i shouldn't be hearing but they're like here's your one day chip i'm like so we go outside
01:24:19.040
and i'm standing there and jess is like smoking a cigarette and her girlfriend comes over and we
01:24:24.980
still haven't really like even like had a moment to like it's so funny so her friend comes over
01:24:33.900
and she's like who's this and jess is like my long-lost sister and i'm like oh my god like if
01:24:40.860
it couldn't even be more awkward and i was like can i have a smoke because this is like and we
01:24:45.920
bonded like over the cigarette the whole way home we're like and the they're like what happened and
01:24:53.620
it was like oh well maybe she's not that good girl because she had a cigarette with me and from then
01:24:57.980
on but it's just so funny see cigarettes have really healed the plant no you're still we're
01:25:04.240
still gonna make you quit but and then we had our walk on the beach like so it was kind of
01:25:09.100
lovely but also like oh shit what are we all in for in this and it was and now i mean cut to now
01:25:16.160
you have your own child yeah so this is what's wild and i i've loved watching you with ari the
0.71
01:25:23.940
i mean always but like now that he's 19 and you guys can like relate like in a whole different
01:25:29.940
way and he's has like your sense of humor there's so many things like i've just been waiting for
01:25:34.840
this moment but also what i didn't really think about is the multi-generational aspect of adoption
01:25:44.500
because he started asking these questions like all kids do trying to figure out like
01:25:49.820
who is what and what tree and but he was asking in a way that to me because i'm trying to heal it
01:25:56.860
as we're doing it and find new language and words and different definitions i mean the
01:26:02.860
immute immutes the the hebrew word for um adoption is to strengthen really yeah and i was like oh
01:26:11.900
and but he would ask these questions like who's my real and like he didn't mean anything by it
01:26:18.060
young kid but for me those words i had replaced real bio adopted like it was just you know it
01:26:27.520
took a while for us to get there but like how do i tell him this story so no one's more than less
01:26:33.640
than right and you don't even think about those moments where you have this gift to write it
01:26:41.140
differently so that he doesn't do that right and he was like well who's blood and who's this and
01:26:46.540
I'm like who's real who's not and Stan and the line and you and and I didn't want him judging
01:26:54.520
anyone for any of it or any choices made or um well is Stan less because he's not biological is
01:27:02.540
is Roseanne more because she is and like what words I mean it's so deep to go to each one of
01:27:10.620
those like we had those conversations that went on and on and i think i hope i mean you could ask him
01:27:17.440
i hope that we were the cycle breakers for our family in that where he doesn't carry and i don't
01:27:23.800
think he does um he loves everyone and he's so blessed to have he had a nana a nani a granny
01:27:31.540
a babushka i mean it was a lot for him to but also he's really lucky wow the bridge so he's
0.99
01:28:09.120
yeah it's a shorthand we all need a little bossing around from granny i mean it's just
01:28:14.800
great for me this is my story that a story of miracles for for a girl uh who had it kind of
01:28:24.760
rough growing up and believed all along that god would uh make everything come out for the best
01:28:32.620
um and of course he did and it's just more proof of how lucky i am to have a connection to him
01:28:43.960
amen amen amen and i love you i love you are so gorgeous i'm so thrilled with the way i did
01:28:53.260
your makeup as i think you're looking i mean i saw you doing your eyes things um glad to be the
01:29:02.280
what a great conversation baby well i want to hear more about how you got through that each
01:29:08.320
time each iteration i don't know if we're at time or whatever but like you said something that really
01:29:15.100
stuck with me even during that time but the show and the canceling and the whatever like you knew
01:29:21.340
you could get through it because of judaism because of hashem and i think a lot of people
01:29:27.000
out there need that a lot of people are hurting they don't understand why do they hate us so much
01:29:31.860
what's the targeting what what are the pieces and parts of judaism like beyond just the pattern
01:29:37.760
recognition what is the what are the tools and i would love to hear you talk more about maybe one
01:29:43.980
that helped you through that time that feels like because they're to me they're all tools
01:29:50.180
shabbat is a tool yeah the moon cycle is a tool the parasha the weekly parashas are tools
01:29:56.300
the tree of life but like what was it for you that really helped you get through that well the
01:30:02.980
one thing that judaism why it's so fantastic is that it teaches us that there is nothing but god
01:30:12.600
and that's how i got through you know it looks like you're you're suffering you're going down
01:30:18.640
you're having a rough time that's so you can learn so you can grow and you will grow because
01:30:25.800
there is nothing but god and there's only one everything and he always wins and what do you
01:30:34.460
of course he wins he created everything he wrote the story yeah what do you think of course he's
01:30:39.500
going to win in the story he wrote right but what do you're very lucky to be able to read that story
01:30:47.440
and understand it with, what, 6,000 years of memory bank.
01:30:53.220
So we won't let them define who we are by their satanic definitions.
01:30:59.520
We will hold fast to the creator, the creator of all life.
01:31:16.040
i'm excited to go and be teaching with you and to be getting this out there we're going to teach
01:31:22.500
because we think well when darkness is you know when darkness is getting strong we do have the
01:31:29.520
antidote we do have the light uh we'll teach people to go to the wall and flip the switch
01:31:35.500
because that technology does exist in torah and um
