Call it what it is with Jessica Capshaw and Camille Ludington.
T Mobile
An iHeartRadio podcast. Well, hello, hello, hello, hello everyone and.
Jessica Capshaw
Welcome to another episode of Call it what it is.
T Mobile
Or should I have said ho ho, ho.
Jessica Capshaw
It is cheesy, but it's right. This week is the week to go. Ho, ho, ho.
T Mobile
It feels right. It feels right.
Jessica Capshaw
I gotta tell you, I got like the Christmas sweat today. I was doing that thing where I was like, I've made a list for Hayden, I've made a list for Lucas. And I counted and there's a discrepancy.
T Mobile
Oh, oh, the dreaded discrepancy.
Jessica Capshaw
There is one kid that has. Is. Would currently have more under the tree. And so I rushed to Target teeth not brushed. Rushed in there looking so. And was literally just launching into the basket. I don't even know what I got. I'm like that, that's pink with a thing. Go.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
A little bit of glitter.
T Mobile
Fine. Yeah. I did a similar thing when I launched myself into my car. I had brushed my teeth, but you know, it's winter here in New York. So I had like the hat pulled almost over the eyebrows. Like the, that character over your eyeballs. Just poke the eyeball. I put eye holes in the, in the eye so I can see through that. Yeah, that's how I felt today. And I almost launched my car into a couple other cars just trying to park before I actually launched myself or launched things into a cart of any kind. And you know what? I felt like a. A low hum. I was gonna say this word and then I thought, that's too much, Capshaw. And then I went, no, I. It's right. I felt a low key rage, like the Christmas. Like a little bit of like the opposite of Christmas cheer.
Jessica Capshaw
You know, I think that it comes with more than a sprinkle every year of some Christmas rage. I think that is true. The traffic in LA right now is heinous.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
It took me so long to even get there. And by the time you're walking in, it's just. And the shelves have been cleared out already.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
You know, it's like an apocalypse has happened, but for Christmas.
T Mobile
Yep.
Jessica Capshaw
No, I get it. I get the sweat. I get the. I get the. The rage. The parking, the whole thing.
T Mobile
Yeah. And I sat. I. You know, this person had. They tapped on their brake lights, so that usually indicates they're gonna leave. So I pull over, you know, like Frogger. Like, it's just for my life.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
Leap into that spot so that I could take her spot. And then, you know, I waited because it was fine. I was chilling. And then it was, like, more than enough time for her to have backed out by now. And I didn't see the white lights that, you know, meant she was gon reverse. So then I was like, do I get out of the car and say, like, I'm so sorry, but are you leaving?
Jessica Capshaw
I know.
T Mobile
Do I not.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
Could she be filled with the Christmas rage and maybe it wasn't so low key? And then she.
Jessica Capshaw
I don't know. It. It's a risky move.
T Mobile
It's a risky.
Jessica Capshaw
Is a risky move to get out and tap the window and do the.
T Mobile
Universal want to take my sweater off? Just talking about it.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Are you leaving sign? Because you can get. You can get a. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm leaving right now. Or you can get a. Like a go for yourself with rage. I love this spot. Right. And then they're taking out the laptop. They're doing meetings in that spot, but they're not going to turn the lights off. They'll keep the reverse lights on. And then you're. And then it's Then. Then the rage is raging, and you.
T Mobile
Don'T know which one it's gonna be.
Jessica Capshaw
You don't know what it's. What did you do? Did you get out?
T Mobile
Leap of faith.
Jessica Capshaw
Did you. Did you faith it?
T Mobile
You know, I. If I waited a little bit less time, I think I would have just kept going, but I'd actually invested a.
Jessica Capshaw
Little more than I wanted to invest. Yeah.
T Mobile
And so I had to just check. So I get out and I sort of go, hi. Like, didn't want to scare her.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
And she gave me the. No, I'm setting up shop in this parking spot.
Jessica Capshaw
I have a PowerPoint presentation.
T Mobile
And I was like, okay.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, okay. So annoying.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
And also, I. What I don't like about the no, I'm staying is it's okay to be like, hey, no, I'm staying. You know, but some people really feel like Insulted by the question.
T Mobile
What about me in my car with my brake lights on makes you think I'm going to leave the spot?
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you're acting entitled because you've read the lights in the back. I just, like. I just, like. I just use those to light the work inside that I'm about to do.
T Mobile
Yeah. Well, by the way, karma was on my side, because as I, full of shame, went back to my car, that one car over actually did have people in it. So I did the same thing. Like, hi, excuse me, are you leaving? And she said, yes. And then by the grace of the Santa spirit, the person behind me allowed me to back up a little bit more so I could take that spot.
Jessica Capshaw
That's good. I mean, you know what? I like. I like it when I am. I'm doing the same thing that you're doing. I'm like, I've decided to stalk this. You know, the stalk or whatever. How do I say stalk the spot? Right. And the. And the car puts on the lights, and then you're waiting and waiting and waiting. And there's a part of me, it's like, I'm not gonna get out, but I will stay here. And the longer it takes, as long as I can make that eye contact when they pull out of, like, it's been too goddamn long. You right? Like, when they pull out, like, as long as I have that moment where they can see in my eyes. 15 minutes. Yeah. Then I'm. Okay, we'll do what?
T Mobile
Really?
Jessica Capshaw
It's not gonna do anything. It's gonna make my day a little bit brighter. But, like, I just. There's a point where it's like, I waited.
T Mobile
Some of the rage was released.
Jessica Capshaw
I'm not gonna risk getting out the car, but I'm there for that. The eyeballs are like, yeah. Get ready for the.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
I've been here all day.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
And what have you been doing?
T Mobile
Yeah, what have you.
Jessica Capshaw
I can see you in the car.
T Mobile
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
What are you doing? Okay. So we're in the Christmas spirit here, guys.
T Mobile
Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna. You know, I think that I. As a parent, I feel like it's all just. We're in a state of military grade. Like, I am an operative and there's no. I have a. I have three 24 hour shifts ahead of me until school gets out. The volunteer position and some.
Jessica Capshaw
It's a volunteer that you didn't. Yeah, but nobody told you that it was gonna be 24 hours.
T Mobile
I'm getting paid, love.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
T Mobile
Yeah, so they better throw it at me when school gets out on Thursday. We get out on Thursday. Oh, thank you so much. School.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
They're like, hey, do you need the Friday?
T Mobile
No, no.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
Definitely let them out before the week's over.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, by the time this airs, though, they'll be out.
T Mobile
It's true. It's true. But I'm just saying of. Of the. The. My mindset is 24 hour. Three 24 hour shifts. Never say die.
Jessica Capshaw
Good news. I never say die.
T Mobile
Get to the finish line, and then, you know what? Then at that point, if things haven't been done well, then they're not gonna. They're not gonna get done.
Jessica Capshaw
Can I tell you the biggest mistake that gets made on Christmas Day in our family? And honestly, it sends me off the. It's like, you know, it could be the final straw. We talked about final straws recently. We have had seasons, and I Now I know better, and I knew better at Target today, where you get all the toys, and they're like, battery is not included, and it's not like an aa.
T Mobile
Right.
Jessica Capshaw
It's like one of those circles, like a double circle with a little. You know, and it's got to be pink. It's a. It's a battery you've never heard of.
T Mobile
Uhhuh.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah. You have to fly that.
T Mobile
You need a screwdriver to. To take the. The panel off to insert the battery.
Jessica Capshaw
Yes. And the screwdriver will have always been in one spot until Christmas Day.
T Mobile
Yeah, yeah. They had to move. It was like the elf. The elf took it.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah. The batteries are gone spot to spot. And so I know better, though, this year, I bought one of those battery things that has the whole.
T Mobile
All of them.
Jessica Capshaw
All of them. Every single one.
T Mobile
That's what you got at Target today.
Jessica Capshaw
It's one of them.
T Mobile
Is it Walmart?
Jessica Capshaw
I didn't get it at Target today. I looked for regular batteries at Target, but Costco had the. The suitcase. You've seen the case.
T Mobile
Oh, yeah. For sure. Anyway, I never thought that would be my life. Just so we're saying, like, when I was prancing around in my 20s just being cute.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, yeah.
T Mobile
Battery. Like, thinking ahead to battery would benefit me. Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Because it's a situation that day when you open that present and you can't. It's not gonna work.
T Mobile
Yeah. No. Okay, so wait. I know a little bit more about who we have on today than you do.
Jessica Capshaw
I have met her one time, but I want to talk about it with her. How I met her but you. Why don't you tell one half of the crew?
T Mobile
Yeah. Of the pair, we have the lovely Rachel Bilson and Olivia Allen on the show today. So excited. They were maybe one of the first podcasts that I went on after knowing that we were about to start our own. So I was looking at it in a very different way, and they were lovely. Very, very lovely. So I'm excited.
Jessica Capshaw
Calling me after and telling me, you're like, this is, you know, this is like the vibe and their two best friends. And it was like, you know, they've got a similar situation going on yet.
T Mobile
Similar and different.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
Which is why I always say there's space for everyone. I'm not a. I'm not a. I don't operate from scarcity. I operate from abundance. While they are two best friends, and we had many. Our conversations when I was on, there absolutely would be ones that you and I would have. There's a. There's a different. There's a. There is a difference in the vibe. Yeah. There's different energy.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
But both so cool and really, really, really interesting. And I also enjoyed being able to have them now as guests because I got to like the. I find the. The research part cool. Like, you think you know people, but then when you're about to have them, obviously as a host, you want to be prepared. And so learning about them is pretty cool.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. I never. I want to ask Olivia because I'd never heard of a spiritual psychologist before.
T Mobile
I know. Had you ever had it? No, I had not.
Jessica Capshaw
So I. I want to know all the things.
Rachel Bilson
Yep.
T Mobile
Well, obviously, we're gonna get to know all the things. Are you guys matching?
Olivia Allen
We did not plan it.
Rachel Bilson
The whole suit were both.
Olivia Allen
Well, it. They are slightly different, but, like, not much.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, the whole thing.
T Mobile
So these two beautiful faces just popped up in the almost exact same color, beautiful Bordeaux, deep cherry, nearly Christmasy color. And then they said, we didn't plan it. As they swung their mics in front of their faces at the exact same time into the exact same position, and they're like, yes. Another. I'm so excited. We were just. We were chatting before you all came in, and I said that doing your podcast. I loved doing your podcast. I loved. I love your energy, I love your questions. I love your perspective. I loved hearing them all. And it was the first podcast that I'd ever done as a guest, knowing that we were about to go on this ride.
Olivia Allen
Oh, my God.
Rachel Bilson
I didn't know that.
Olivia Allen
Wow.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. I remember her calling me. Yes.
Rachel Bilson
Oh, she had A blast killed it.
T Mobile
Oh, please, please. So I went to I Hearts Jingle Ball in Los Angeles and then I went to the New York one and it was, it's not over till like 11:30, which I don't know about, you guys. That's way past my bedtime. So I'm like standing there and we're at Penn Station and like, the chances of an, of an Uber actually making it to the door, like, so slim. And it's so cold. And I'm with two teenage girls that of course, definitely did not need to wear jackets. And so we're like, cool. Can we maybe, maybe see if the car pulls up? So we're just waiting there, waiting there, waiting there. And someone that was with us will know what her name was. And if you had been with me, Camilla, you would know who she was. But she was a desperate housewife and she was on the maybe Jersey version. And across this very small room, you hear her scream, whispering, can you please introduce me to Kate Nakshaw? She's over there.
Jessica Capshaw
Who was it? Was it.
T Mobile
I heard you.
Jessica Capshaw
Do you guys watch the Housewives? Do you watch anything?
Olivia Allen
Guys, I know I've never seen. It's crazy that I haven't because I love reality tv.
Rachel Bilson
I've never seen an episode. No.
Jessica Capshaw
Oh, you're missing out. Do you watch Vanderpump Rules?
Olivia Allen
I've never seen an episode of that.
Rachel Bilson
I watched one half season when I was like, sick in bed.
Olivia Allen
Oh, I love that though. Like, I love reality television.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, what's the reality television that you watch? Do you watch Love Island?
Olivia Allen
I love Love is Blind is like my favorite.
T Mobile
Oh.
Olivia Allen
But I was like, I got into the bachelor world forever and I was so committed and I haven't in like years now. I just, I don't know, I like those ones. Like the dating ones are fun for me.

T Mobile
Well, speaking of crazy things that I haven't heard yet. I mean, I'm taking a hard right turn, but it's just like I know.
Jessica Capshaw
What you're gonna ask because we just talked about this.
T Mobile
Well, because, because I, you know, we're a little yin and yang, she and I. And so she knows about stuff that I don't know about and I know somebody. So we bring it all together, right? Have you heard about the drones in New Jersey?
Rachel Bilson
Of course.
Olivia Allen
She just brought this up to me yesterday.
T Mobile
Okay, so I'm Rachel.
Rachel Bilson
I'm the into her yang.
T Mobile
Yeah, yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Olivia.
T Mobile
Yeah, I'm Rachel.
Rachel Bilson
Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
You know about the drones. Thank God. Of course I had. I said, because here's the thing, when you guys were coming on, we knew they were coming on. I was like, will they talk? You know, are they open and talking about stuff? And I heart were like, they're Open and talking.
Olivia Allen
You're like, they're like too open.
Jessica Capshaw
And I said, what about aliens? Literally? And they were like, yeah, they'll talk about aliens. And it felt right, because this drone situation is real.
Rachel Bilson
I'm hoping it's aliens.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, yeah, I do. Of course it's going to be disappointing if it's some sort of like, just regular. But no, it's.
Kristen Davis
It's.
Jessica Capshaw
So it's all over the world right now.
T Mobile
Can you two tell me why you think it's aliens or what? Is there any evidence to support alien ness?
Rachel Bilson
The weird part is it's kind of like that movie, Don't Look Up. Did you guys see that?
Jessica Capshaw
Yes.
Rachel Bilson
Like War of the Worlds, Don't look up was amazing movie about an asteroid coming.
T Mobile
Oh, no, I did see that. I did see that. Yeah.
Rachel Bilson
And they're basically like, carry on, don't look up. Keep going. And that's what's happening with the drones is we're not getting any answers. Nobody's saying what they are. They're literally coming out going, we don't know what they are. Get back to you. More will be revealed. And nobody has an answer of what? These lights in the sky, the drones, have you seen the. The bulbs of light?
Jessica Capshaw
The orbs? Yes, yes, I've seen them.
Rachel Bilson
They look kind of holographic.
Jessica Capshaw
Yes. So there's a millet. Jess was laughing. Jessica, you're not gonna be laughing when you end up with a spaceship backyard. So there's a guy on. On Tick Tock right now, and his theory is, is that he has worked in the military, and he said, those drones that we're seeing, they're lying to us. They are US drones. Those are in the air. And he talks about how the lights on them, and he shows pictures and how he's seen drones like that. And the US military is lying to us about. The US government is lying to us about that.
Rachel Bilson
Right?
Jessica Capshaw
Those are. Those are our drones. But the reason that they're in the air is because of the orbs. The orbs, they don't know what they are. And the orbs feel like UFOs. And so the orbs are flooding the airspace. And so the drones are up there to try and take a look because basically they're saying, listen, if it was like some. If it was a different country, an adversary that was up there, we'd be shooting them down. Like, we wouldn't let it go on this long with this.
T Mobile
But they're only interested in Jersey.
Rachel Bilson
No, they're.
Jessica Capshaw
They're all over what's wrong with Jersey, Justin?
T Mobile
No, I'm just saying that there's a collective of them in New Jersey. Correct.
Jessica Capshaw
They're starting to. There.
T Mobile
I was just saying if they're orbs that alien, don't you think that they would like maybe move with it?
Rachel Bilson
Where would you go?
T Mobile
Because I heard a theory that was more like they are looking for something because evidently they only come out at night. Right. No one's seen them in the daytime.
Rachel Bilson
Well, they were also over military base and so they were over different parts that could be considered sensitive to our safety.
T Mobile
Yeah, see, I was talking to someone. That's what I was saying earlier was that their theory was far more like dark. I mean, I don't know that it was like just more like more Jason Borney. More like Emma. Like Mission Impossible. More like like someone searching for something and then. And that in that way. As opposed to just like aliens coming down and being like, what's up? Right.
Rachel Bilson
There's another theory that it's all just a distraction from something, from life. Like this girl was telling me yesterday that she's like, it's just a distraction. The US government comes up with ideas of way to distract us and polar attention while they do something behind our backs. So everybody on Tick tock and all this, everybody's trying to dissect what it is. And all I want is for it to be aliens.
T Mobile
Yeah, well, maybe that's what Santa's gonna bring this year. Some alien.
Rachel Bilson
What would you do?
T Mobile
I would be so. I'd be so curious. I don't feel afraid of aliens.
Rachel Bilson
Me neither.
T Mobile
I just.
Jessica Capshaw
You don't believe in alien aliens?
Olivia Allen
I believe in everything. Yeah, but I feel like we've only been presented with what aliens are or could be through movies.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Olivia Allen
And so in my mind I'm like, is it going to be like the Predator or is it going to be like. Wait, the Predator was an alien, right?
T Mobile
He.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah, he is an alien for sure. Yeah, yeah, he's nailing.
Olivia Allen
But like, are they super scary looking or what if they're like.
T Mobile
Cool. Yeah, I'm. That's the alien I'm hoping for. That's the one I'm curious about. I'm not curious about Predator. No.
Jessica Capshaw
I will be running. No, definitely not. I.
Rachel Bilson
There's a theory that people with RH negative blood are alien and I have RH negative blood. Have you heard this theory?
T Mobile
I don't even know what that is. That sounds to me like restoration hardware. One blood. What's already.
Jessica Capshaw
You get a discount there, Jess.
T Mobile
You Get a discount there. What's happening?
Jessica Capshaw
Okay, tell me, because I love a theory.
Rachel Bilson
Rh negative blood is. If you heard of people that have negative blood, where they have to get the shot to have a baby and everything.
Jessica Capshaw
No.
Rachel Bilson
Okay. So I. I had to get a shot so that my body doesn't hurt my own baby.
T Mobile
I've heard of that. Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Wow.
T Mobile
It's.
Rachel Bilson
Yeah, it's a thing. And they can't trace where the blood originated. Like all other forms of blood, there's lineages of it and it all maps out. Makes sense. This RH factor was, like, brought onto the scene and they're going, this doesn't belong to anything on Earth. So the theory is that RH negative blood comes from aliens.
T Mobile
Aliens.
Rachel Bilson
And when I heard that, I went.
T Mobile
That is your part alien feels right.
Olivia Allen
She has alien eyes.
Rachel Bilson
I think I might be a little part alien. Maybe a little bit.
Jessica Capshaw
That's wild.
T Mobile
Well, this would just contribute to me being curious about aliens. You're welcome here on Earth, Olivia. Thank you.
Jessica Capshaw
I asked you a question, too, Olivia, because. Okay, so before we came on the pod, I said to Jessica that I had never heard of a spiritual psychologist before. And I. And you said you hadn't either, Jess.
T Mobile
No, but I want to know more.
Jessica Capshaw
So we wanted to know more about what that is, because maybe I need it.
Rachel Bilson
So basically, I did a master's program in spiritual psychology where you learn all the different modalities of psychology, but then they bring the spirit into it in the sense of what is your soul's perspective? Like bringing in meditation, bringing in, like, consciousness. What are you here for? That's bigger purpose outside of just your mind. So most psychology deals with the mind. And so basically a spiritual psychologist takes it to a higher elevation of bringing consciousness into it and really kind of including your soul in your healing in order to get past any blocks you have. So I did, like, two years of studying that in a program.
T Mobile
And then.
Jessica Capshaw
Do you guys have your own spiritual psychologists?
Rachel Bilson
I saw a coach for a long time, and I. My therapist is very spiritual, so she brings in that stuff. Like, we won't just be like, oh, this happened when you're a kid, or whatever. She will take me to kind of different places as far as, like, say, something was going on in your life and you were like, I can't decide between this and this, and these are both kind of painful choices. Then we would say, okay, so if you were to rise above that and look at the situation, what is it that your soul is seeking to learn through this experience? And what do you think would be most in alignment with your authentic self and your soul's journey? I know it's a little out there, but.
Jessica Capshaw
No, I know I'm. No, it's not at all. It actually makes perfect sense to, I mean, I'm very spiritual to justice to. It actually suddenly feels weird to me that we don't include that in therapy. Right. Like, that should just be a part of it.
T Mobile
Yeah, agree. I'm, I'm in the part I'm in, like, when I'm sitting in the, the patient chair, I'm like, this is my work, guys. This is when I'm like, how do I reach my authentic self to ask that question again? Where. What's my soul's phone number? Yeah. Is there like a quantifiable way that I can understand that this is really being. It's that it's that piece. There's always been like a, a speed bump for me.
Rachel Bilson
That's not just, that's the mental.
T Mobile
Exactly.
Rachel Bilson
Right. And so you would have to get it out of the mental and into the physical.
T Mobile
Yeah.
Rachel Bilson
Because like, your intuition is your authentic self and your intuition's never going to speak through fear's voice. So the minute you're thinking from fear, you're in your mind and that's how you know. So it's like, how do you get there? You get into your body and you can feel. If your intuition is clear and calm and gets a hit, it's never going to be attached to fear. That's only the analytical mind and ego. That's your instincts.
T Mobile
Right.
Jessica Capshaw
I love that.
Rachel Bilson
Stop me at any moment.
Olivia Allen
I mean, I used to.
T Mobile
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Jessica Capshaw
I mean, yeah. Rachel, does she, like, this is so. I. Yeah, yeah. Sorry. No. I'm so sucked in.
T Mobile
Well, the, you know, the premise of this show is, I mean, obviously it was born of our friendship. It was born of a lot of things. But one of the things that we are lucky enough to have is a group of people that trusts calling in, writing in with things that are on their mind. And so we get the huge spectrum of concerns and worries and, or stories to tell or, you know, some kind of like, piece of belonging to, like, reach for in, in all of this. Right. What we hear a lot in different forms is self doubt. Like, how do I know I'm doing the right thing? And I, I, I joke, but I don't joke. Like, I do find that to be the hardest thing to gain access to because I'm a thinker. But that was part of my survival. Right. Like, that's like. Well, I'm just gonna, I mean, like, if I'm just thinking and I'm staying ahead of it, AM I like 10 steps ahead of. It's even better than, you know, five. So let's go. Can you do 20? Right. Like I have 20 steps ahead. And then, and then I'm no longer in my life, which was an unlearning and a trust in it all being okay, which I preach all the time. Right. Because I do believe that everything will be okay in the end. And if it's not okay, it's not the end.
Rachel Bilson
At least I had a good time in the meantime.
T Mobile
Yeah, exactly. And in the meantime, what am I holding on to? Like, what's my life raft? And what am I going to grab onto and not like negotiate about how I'm being saved, but just allow myself to be saved? Not by a person necessarily, or even an idea, but how am I going to trust? And there has definitely been a lot of unlearning of exactly what you said. Right. The mental and leaning into a knowing. But I. It's funny how once you have that, you have that thing in your head that when it's like when you start looking for a car, you're like, oh, I really think that I'm, I really want to get the, the I'm interested in the Volvo, blah, blah, blah. All of a sudden it's fucking everywhere. It's like everywhere. You see that Volvo everywhere, everywhere. And the minute you start, you know, thinking about an idea, it's like, isn't that confirmation bias? Is that what it is? It's like, yeah, you're, you're constantly being. It's like the world is like confirming that. How you're looking at everything. And I think it's the algorithm. Yeah, yeah. But you're like, it just starts happening. And so I find that it's only been, I don't know, in like the last five, ten years of my life where I've had a real understanding of what knowing means, which I think you could substitute knowing for intuition. But when you have a real knowing, you're right. It kind of is absent of fear or self doubt. You can quickly get out, you can grab it back. Yeah, yeah. Real quick, in and out of it.
Rachel Bilson
You're programmed. Yeah, but the hits are always going to be clear. Yeah, yeah, right.
T Mobile
Yeah, I always get that.
Rachel Bilson
The clear hits.
T Mobile
You get the. How does it happen for you?
Olivia Allen
Well, it's the same thing. Like, you know, once something's in my mind, like it shows up everywhere, constantly to the point where I'm like, okay, you can stop now. Yeah, you know, like, I get it.
Rachel Bilson
Yeah.
Olivia Allen
But it happens all the time.
T Mobile
It's very easy to get distracted in the world that we live in. Right. It's. It's a very distracting world. I mean, there, at any given time, you can truly be in connection with so many different things. Right. Like from we, there used to be thinking time and there's less thinking time. We're just being time. And I think it's weird that I would say that. I think it takes courage to just be. Because that should be really intuitive. But it's not. And I think that, you know, we all get, we all get distracted by the drones. Yeah.
Rachel Bilson
And that's why they put them there.
T Mobile
Only in Jersey.
Rachel Bilson
Started only in Jersey.
T Mobile
I want some orbs. I want some orbs. Near. Near in Los Angeles.

Kristen Davis
Kristen Davis and I want to know, Are you a Charlotte? In 1997, my life was forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte York on a new HBO show called Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in New York City, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now I want to connect with you and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes together with special guests. What will begin with Sex and the City Will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. Are youe a Charlotte? Is much more than just rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course, some optimism. Listen to Are you a Charlotte? On the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
Jessica Capshaw
I wanna know how you guys met and started this whole podcast together.
Olivia Allen
Well, I was in love with my brother's best friend when I was 13 years old and he's was four years older and he was obsessed with this girl in the Valley where we grew up and there was a yearbook picture of this face and I saw her at 13 years old and I was like, I hate her. I was like, she's the prettiest thing I've ever seen. This dude's in love with her. I'm in love with him. She's a like, that was my first impression. I'm like, her face, her eyes. I'm like there's no way she's nice. Like it was whatever that was the first time, like I ever saw her at 13 years old. But then we became friends in our high school years and then towards the end of high school and then we were just off and popping after that. And then I asked her to do a podcast with me because, well, she just brings everything to the conversation and she's a lot smarter than I am. So.
Jessica Capshaw
I feel like what's so nice though, working with someone that you've known a long time and when you have that friendship that you guys have is there is a shorthand that happens between the two of you and that chemistry would be really hard to be. To recreate with somebody else.
T Mobile
Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
It's just so natural. Like, and I have other friends, Jess. And I've talked about this and I don't know if you guys feel this way. I have other friends who I love and adore, but I couldn't do a podcast with. I feel like there's a specific back and forth to the conversation that just ends up working and doesn't feel like work.
T Mobile
Yeah, yeah.
Rachel Bilson
Also, I think that it was like what you were saying. We pick up where each other's.
Olivia Allen
Yeah, the yin and yang thing for sure.
Rachel Bilson
Like, yeah.
Olivia Allen
Yes.
T Mobile
You complete me. Jerry Maguire. Platonic completion.
Rachel Bilson
Exactly. We offer different things. And it was so funny earlier this morning we had a recording and we forgot that we had already recorded. It was already like we were in session and we forgot and we had a full blown love session that was captured on camera not remembering that we had hit record. But there's just this amazing. When you work with someone that you love so much and you feel at home with them, that is such a gift. And not only to work with that person, but just to have friends like that where you're like, I am my hundred percent self with you.
Olivia Allen
Yeah.
Rachel Bilson
I feel, you know, because it's like you try, you can go do that with other people and.
Olivia Allen
But you have to like turn on like a social button or like, you have to like, you know what I mean, be on in some way. And it's really nice to not have to do that. And we leave each other, she'll get in her car and we're on the phone for her drive home.
T Mobile
Yeah. Yeah. That happens to us too.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah.
T Mobile
Right? I mean, yeah, but. But I think that that's the thing that, because I've already said I've listened to your podcast, I've been on your podcast, we have shared friends. I, I think is the thing that I'm so hopeful about in, in, in making podcasts is that you know, listen. There's a ton of them. People who listen to podcasts have lots of choices, and no one's making anyone listen to anything in. In that way. Right. And I think it's the coolest thing that someone that we don't know. Right. That none of us know, might turn on one of our episodes and feel that connection and know that it's grounded. It's something very real and, like, in the same room, but also very real because it's extended through these airwaves and into their car or into their airpod while they walk. And you can actually be connected by this in this very invisible way. And maybe your connection is really just that someone else, you know, signs up for listening. But I still think that that' that's real. So I don't know. I think. I think the whole podcast, I was, I. I was a little hesitant. I didn't. I was like, one more thing to do. People, all the smart people in my life kept being like, podcast this, podcast that. It all seemed very intelligent and, I don't know, academic. And I was like, I don't got time. I'm a real person.
Olivia Allen
Right.
T Mobile
I got a real job.
Rachel Bilson
Yeah. But the thing that I think podcasts are changing. And especially when you see all these best friend podcasts, and a lot of people that listen to best friend podcasts listen to multiples. Like, if. If we're their favorite, chances are you're their favorite. Like, there's some sort of comfort that it gives them if they're on a walk alone or if they're driving alone. It's like they have that kind of community. And I think, too, it's really great for people to be hearing and also mirroring in their own life women not only helping each other, but advocating for each other, cheering each other on, like, being happy for other people's successes. Because I think so long, women were pitted against each other. And I feel like in the podcast space, it's actually one of those that's changing rapidly, fast, where we're going. No, we're championing. Championing other women to have voices and to succeed.
T Mobile
You know, the same thing came up on actually, the last episode we recorded with Kristin Chenoweth, because she was talking about, like, the nascent period of developing Wicked, and it was her and Adina and, And. And it being a time where it was even. Even, I think I heard her saying it was far less expected. Now it's actually seen as something that's part of your, like, tagline or, or something that's absolutely expected. Like, if someone all of a sudden came out of the woodwork and was like, no, I'm competitive, bitch. Get out of my way. You'd be like, what? They did not get the memo. What just happened? Right. Like, that would be crazy. But. But I think that you're right. And I think that the more and more that you see people doing that, the more and more I do think that there's a contagious aspect to it. I think it used to be aspirational, like, oh, we should want that, but we don't really want that. And now because we're naming these different ways to look at the world and saying, and I don't think it's a positive when someone. If someone says to you, you operate out of scarcity, I don't think anyone would take that as positive. Right. You want to think that there's more than enough in the world for everyone. There isn't usually. Like, in a literal world. Right. Like, in a literal. Like, are people getting what they want right now? Not really.
Olivia Allen
Right.
T Mobile
But we can still hope and want. Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
Hope, you guys, thank you so much for being on the pod today. We look up to you guys because you've been doing it for so long, and there is magic to it, and we are still fetus podcast over here, Venus.

Rachel Bilson
I wouldn't be doing it without them.
Olivia Allen
She wouldn't.
Rachel Bilson
That accountability really makes her show up.
T Mobile
Yeah, for sure. And by the way, you make Chrissy show up. No, I get it. I get it. Yet the 5am is rough. I know. I've never been able to figure out how to sustain a 5am I remember, like, when I was doing. I don't know what show, I might have even been out of work, who knows? But Jennifer Garner was doing Alias, and she was so badass, and she was so ripped. And we had a couple mutual friends, and they kept just being like, she's such a hard worker. And I was like, I know. She's such a hard worker. Like, she looks so great on the show and she works hard. Like, no, no, no. She wakes up at 5am every single day and works out for two hours before she even starts work. And I remember, like, I can do that.
Jessica Capshaw
What?
T Mobile
I can do that. So then I started. I signed up for, like, the Barry's boot camp at 5:00am oh, no. It lasted like an actual week. I don't even know that I made it to the end of the week. No, that's myself, like, running like her or Tom Cruise on the treadmill.
Olivia Allen
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And then she goes to the gym at 5, and then she'll meet me at Pilates at 9.
