1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.560
- "The O.C." was actually the first

2
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:03.930
like appointment television show I watched

3
00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:05.460
as a teenager.
- Oh. Oh.

4
00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:06.293
- Yeah.

5
00:00:06.293 --> 00:00:08.700
A friend of mine came
to school with a haircut

6
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:11.400
that was like very chic
for like eighth grade

7
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:12.301
or whatever.
- It was like The Rachel,

8
00:00:12.301 --> 00:00:13.134
but of "The O.C." era?

9
00:00:13.134 --> 00:00:13.967
- It was, yeah.

10
00:00:13.967 --> 00:00:14.800
And she was like,
(Rachel laughs)

11
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.020
"I got my haircut to look like Marissa."

12
00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:17.836
And I was like, "Who's Marissa?"

13
00:00:17.836 --> 00:00:19.153
- (gasps) Oh.
- And that it is like

14
00:00:19.153 --> 00:00:22.356
a very distinct memory that
started my "O.C." Journey.

15
00:00:22.356 --> 00:00:25.356
(upbeat rock music)

16
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.710
Now that you're rewatching
it on your podcast-

17
00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:29.543
- Yes.

18
00:00:29.543 --> 00:00:30.376
- "Welcome to the OC, Bitches!"

19
00:00:30.376 --> 00:00:32.063
which (smacks lips) incredible name,

20
00:00:32.063 --> 00:00:33.780
(Rachel laughs)

21
00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:36.750
do you feel weird about
it as a fully grown adult?

22
00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:38.550
Are there like weird memories,

23
00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:39.930
positive memories?
- Right.

24
00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:40.950
So there's mixed emotions,

25
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:41.783
for sure.
- Yeah.

26
00:00:41.783 --> 00:00:43.920
- So I never watched the
show and I have no memory,

27
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:44.910
so watching it,

28
00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:46.680
I'm literally watching
it for the first time.

29
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:47.513
- So there's things

30
00:00:47.513 --> 00:00:48.443
that I'm like-
- Oh.

31
00:00:48.443 --> 00:00:49.710
- "Oh, my God, that happened?"

32
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:51.810
I forget really big storylines

33
00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:52.915
that I should not have forgotten.

34
00:00:52.915 --> 00:00:53.748
(Nora laughs)

35
00:00:53.748 --> 00:00:55.800
Also, for me, I'm watching
myself at 21 years old.

36
00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:57.120
I mean, that's 20 years.

37
00:00:57.120 --> 00:00:57.953
- Yeah.

38
00:00:57.953 --> 00:01:00.120
- And it's kind of weird
to see your life then

39
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:01.140
and you look at your life now

40
00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:02.910
and all the life that was in between.

41
00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:05.010
And it took an adjustment
for me, for sure.

42
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:06.870
At first, I was like,
"Am I feeling depressed?"

43
00:01:06.870 --> 00:01:09.090
Like, "What is this feeling?"

44
00:01:09.090 --> 00:01:09.923
- That's yeah.
- But I, yeah.

45
00:01:09.923 --> 00:01:11.970
But I got used to it, and I'm enjoying it,

46
00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:12.803
and I'm a fan of the show-

47
00:01:12.803 --> 00:01:14.298
- Okay.
- Just as an outsider

48
00:01:14.298 --> 00:01:15.488
looking in.
- Yeah.

49
00:01:15.488 --> 00:01:16.867
I mean, can't blame you.

50
00:01:16.867 --> 00:01:17.700
(Rachel laughs)

51
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.410
But yeah, I mean, I am (chuckles) glad

52
00:01:19.410 --> 00:01:21.870
there's not necessarily physical records

53
00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:24.436
of me in my prime. (laughs)
- It's hard, right?

54
00:01:24.436 --> 00:01:25.290
- Yeah.
- Like it's just something,

55
00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:27.090
you're like, "Oh, my God, I was 21."

56
00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:27.923
- Yeah.
- "Oh, my God,

57
00:01:27.923 --> 00:01:29.190
what am I wearing?" (laughs)
(Nora laughs)

58
00:01:29.190 --> 00:01:30.900
- Yeah, exactly.

59
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:33.810
Also, especially as a
parent, are there things

60
00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:36.030
that you think you feel
differently about now

61
00:01:36.030 --> 00:01:39.030
than you would have watching
it maybe 10, 15 years ago?

62
00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:39.870
- I mean, watching it back,

63
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:41.370
it definitely raises the question,

64
00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:42.660
when can my daughter watch it?

65
00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:44.250
And I'm like, "She has to be 35."

66
00:01:44.250 --> 00:01:45.840
Like let's be honest, I can't.

67
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:46.980
You're definitely more aware

68
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:48.750
while you're watching
'cause you are a parent.

69
00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:49.650
- Yeah.
- And there's many things

70
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:52.650
I've done that I'm like, "You
can never see that." (laughs)

71
00:01:52.650 --> 00:01:53.820
- Yeah.

72
00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:56.070
Kind of on that note,
this has come up a lot

73
00:01:56.070 --> 00:01:57.150
in the last few years,

74
00:01:57.150 --> 00:01:59.730
but also, I was thinking about
something Anne Hathaway said

75
00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:04.320
at Sundance earlier this
week about pervy questions-

76
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:05.400
- Oh.
- Young women have been asked

77
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:06.330
by journalists.

78
00:02:06.330 --> 00:02:07.170
And she said something about,

79
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:10.140
when she was promoting
"The Princess Diaries,"

80
00:02:10.140 --> 00:02:11.310
she was asked by a journalist

81
00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:14.100
whether she was going to be
a bad girl or a good girl.

82
00:02:14.100 --> 00:02:16.320
And she was like 16 or something.

83
00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:17.280
- Oh, that's young.

84
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.960
- And because you were on a show

85
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.820
that had such adult themes,

86
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:22.170
granted you were fully an adult,

87
00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:23.730
but you were still young.
- Yeah.

88
00:02:23.730 --> 00:02:25.560
- Did you have, when you were doing press,

89
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.050
were there like weird instances like that?

90
00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:30.870
Or did people treat you
guys, the stars of the show,

91
00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:33.990
as adults?

92
00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:35.580
- Oh, that's a really good question.

93
00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:36.413
If I had a memory,

94
00:02:36.413 --> 00:02:37.440
I'm sure I could pull some.
(Nora laughs)

95
00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.180
There was a lot of sexual
undertones in the show, for sure.

96
00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:44.730
I think that would probably
speak more to Mischa

97
00:02:44.730 --> 00:02:47.040
and her storyline and being
underage and all of that.

98
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.380
I don't know what was thrown at her

99
00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:51.510
in interviews and whatnot.

100
00:02:51.510 --> 00:02:53.130
I know for me, I was 21.

101
00:02:53.130 --> 00:02:54.870
I was in a relationship
the whole show, too.

102
00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:55.703
- Oh.

103
00:02:55.703 --> 00:02:57.750
- So I felt like I had that support

104
00:02:57.750 --> 00:02:59.370
and someone going through it as well.

105
00:02:59.370 --> 00:03:00.540
So it was a little different for me,

106
00:03:00.540 --> 00:03:02.629
but also, I don't remember.

107
00:03:02.629 --> 00:03:03.510
(both laughing)

108
00:03:03.510 --> 00:03:04.976
- Yeah, like you said,
it was 20 years ago.

109
00:03:04.976 --> 00:03:05.809
That's fair.
- It was 20 year ago.

110
00:03:05.809 --> 00:03:06.642
(Rachel laughs)

111
00:03:06.642 --> 00:03:09.000
- So speaking about going
back to your podcast,

112
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.740
you do that and then you do another show

113
00:03:10.740 --> 00:03:12.000
called "Broad Ideas."

114
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:12.833
- [Rachel] Yes, I do. (laughs)

115
00:03:12.833 --> 00:03:14.490
- [Nora] Okay. Which came first?

116
00:03:14.490 --> 00:03:16.440
- So "Welcome to the OC,
Bitches!" came first.

117
00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:17.273
- [Nora] Okay.

118
00:03:17.273 --> 00:03:20.760
- And then "Broad Ideas" came
about because a producer,

119
00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:22.837
I went on another podcast and he's like,

120
00:03:22.837 --> 00:03:24.240
"You should do another one.

121
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.073
Let's try this."

122
00:03:25.073 --> 00:03:27.630
So I brought my best friend,
one of my very best friends on,

123
00:03:27.630 --> 00:03:30.090
and we wanted a platform
to be able to talk

124
00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:32.250
about everything as a mother, as a woman,

125
00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:34.500
as a human being, that are taboo,

126
00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:37.590
that people might not be
comfortable talking about,

127
00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:39.000
but we wanna make it more open

128
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.380
and have this dialogue.
- Yeah.

129
00:03:40.380 --> 00:03:42.420
- So we started it, and
we're having so much fun.

130
00:03:42.420 --> 00:03:44.580
We have amazing people
we're speaking with.

131
00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:46.140
And it's really inspirational just to talk

132
00:03:46.140 --> 00:03:48.210
to all of these women and humans.

133
00:03:48.210 --> 00:03:50.730
We have everyone of all kinds.

134
00:03:50.730 --> 00:03:52.830
- Probably more of a
safe space to do that.

135
00:03:52.830 --> 00:03:53.730
- It is a safe space.

136
00:03:53.730 --> 00:03:56.130
It's literally a lot of the
time in my home, you know?

137
00:03:56.130 --> 00:03:57.120
So you feel very comfortable

138
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.160
with my best friends and whatnot.

139
00:03:59.160 --> 00:04:00.570
But there's certain things
I'm not gonna share,

140
00:04:00.570 --> 00:04:04.530
especially about people
without their permission

141
00:04:04.530 --> 00:04:06.000
or their own experiences.

142
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:06.900
I don't go there.

143
00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:07.733
- Yeah.

144
00:04:07.733 --> 00:04:09.720
- Embarrassing stories about myself? Sure.

145
00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:11.340
Relatable? Absolutely.
(Nora chuckles)

146
00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:12.510
Do I make an...

147
00:04:12.510 --> 00:04:13.680
Oh, can I say ass?

148
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.180
- Yes. (laughs)
- Do I make an ass

149
00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:16.380
of myself all the time?

150
00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:18.060
Yeah, let's share it because I'm human,

151
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:18.990
you know?
- Yeah, totally.

152
00:04:18.990 --> 00:04:20.246
That makes a lot of sense.
- Yeah, some other stuff,

153
00:04:20.246 --> 00:04:21.510
though, I'm like, "Let me tell you

154
00:04:21.510 --> 00:04:22.740
when the baby popped out
(Nora laughs)

155
00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:24.593
and what happened to my personal parts."

156
00:04:24.593 --> 00:04:25.744
(Nora laughs)

157
00:04:25.744 --> 00:04:26.640
(Rachel laughs)

158
00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:28.050
- Has your daughter ever listened to it?

159
00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:29.881
- Oh, are you kidding?
(Nora laughs)

160
00:04:29.881 --> 00:04:31.627
- I said "The O.C." not till she's 35.

161
00:04:31.627 --> 00:04:33.724
"Broad Ideas" is just absolutely banned

162
00:04:33.724 --> 00:04:34.557
- Never.
- In a vault.

163
00:04:34.557 --> 00:04:35.826
Never in her life.

164
00:04:35.826 --> 00:04:36.720
(both laughing)

165
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.300
- [Nora] I did want to ask
about the new show you're on.

166
00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:40.230
- [Rachel] The "Accused."

167
00:04:40.230 --> 00:04:41.460
Such an amazing group of people

168
00:04:41.460 --> 00:04:43.050
and everyone tells their own story-

169
00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:43.950
- Yeah.
- On the show,

170
00:04:43.950 --> 00:04:45.300
which I think is really cool.

171
00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:47.070
'Cause anyone can just watch it whenever.

172
00:04:47.070 --> 00:04:49.290
- Yeah.
- And watch a new story.

173
00:04:49.290 --> 00:04:53.520
My episode in particular,
gosh, it was such a cool cast,

174
00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:55.380
and I play a hospice nurse, which was-

175
00:04:55.380 --> 00:04:56.213
- [Nora] Okay.

176
00:04:56.213 --> 00:04:57.046
- So it's a very far departure

177
00:04:57.046 --> 00:04:57.879
for me.
- Yeah.

178
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.600
- I got to dive into something
I've never done before.

179
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.150
And I haven't watched
the whole episode yet

180
00:05:03.150 --> 00:05:04.020
'cause I feel a little bit weird

181
00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:04.853
watching myself.
(Nora chuckles)

182
00:05:04.853 --> 00:05:06.720
But I'm excited about it.

183
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:07.740
It was a really fun thing-

184
00:05:07.740 --> 00:05:09.049
- Yeah.
- To work on.

185
00:05:09.049 --> 00:05:12.793
(upbeat rock music continues)
