Kate Hudson
Yeah. And then I was acting really cool and. And that was it.
Mia Tyler
And then there was your bedroom. I remember your bedroom.
Kate Hudson
You came into my bedroom. I never forgot because I got like.
Mia Tyler
Holding court in your bed like you still do. I can see you sitting there. Oh, so.
Kate Hudson
And then I remember driving to breakfast. We went to Patrick's roadhouse, which is no longer over.
Mia Tyler
At your house. Did I sleep over?
Kate Hudson
Yeah, but. But there's all kinds of weird things now at this point. I had. We were in. I forget what car we were in, but I remember.
Mia Tyler

Kate Hudson
So this was like another. Another visit. And I'll never forget, I had my sob and spoop. Liv was like, you know, let's go get breakfast. I was like, okay, yeah, let's go get breakfast.
Mia Tyler
And.
Kate Hudson
And. And I was like, we go to Patrick's roadhouse and we got in the car and Janie got a gun came on and it. And I was like, like this is. This is so crazy.
Liv Tyler

Mia Tyler
Everyone watching Overboard watching the other day. Incredible.
Liv Tyler
Such a great movie.
Christine Brown
But can I just say, my favorite movie.
Mia Tyler
It really is my favorite movie. Number one.
Liv Tyler
We'll get back to your story in a. Let me pitch. Can I pitch you Overboard in today's world to See if this would fly. Okay, here's the overboard pitch. We have a really rich woman who's on a yacht who comes into this little harbor. And this sort of carpenter guy. She's a total bitch. Horrible thing. She falls overboard. Now she's brought in. She has amnesia. The carpenter, who she's a dick to, decides to kidnap her. Because if you think about what he did.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
He kidnapped Mother, essentially.
Kate Hudson
That is what he does. But it's hilarious.
Mia Tyler
It's really funny. I turned it on recently to the scene where she's sitting and all the kids are around and they're kind of like. And she's kind of trying to figure it out. And he's telling her the story of what happened.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. And she's like. And he's like, try. Try to figure out his name. Try. Try, Annie, try.
Liv Tyler
And she's like, you gotta remember this one.
Kate Hudson
Right, Roy.
Liv Tyler
Which is now Mom's dog.
Kate Hudson
Which is now the dog's name. Yeah. Now we have a dog.
Liv Tyler
He'll cry every time.
Christine Brown
The music.
Liv Tyler
The kids are banging on the window.
Kate Hudson
Oh, my God. Oh, forget it.
Liv Tyler
With the necklace. Mom's got the necklace on him still.
Kate Hudson
But still I cry when it's over. And he's like, what could I give you that you don't already have? He's like a little girl.
Liv Tyler
I'm that girl.
Kate Hudson
Anyway, so anyway, Janie's got a gun.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
We are driving down, and I remember where we were, right at Lamisa and, you know, near Chautauqua. And we were crossing. And I remember it's one of those core memories. I will never forget your exuberance, like, your life force of, like. You know, I just will never forget it. Yeah. Yeah. You were, like.
Mia Tyler
Was the top down?
Kate Hudson
The top was down.
Christine Brown
And.
Kate Hudson
But it was also that thing. Like, we were so young and we were so ready to go. We were just, like, ready, you know?
Mia Tyler
And you really wanted to be an actress at that time. And I remember in your Mom. Mom wouldn't let you.
Kate Hudson
She wouldn't.
Mia Tyler
She was like, you're finishing high school and you had your sob and you could drive, and I was in. You were LA and I was New York. So it's, like, so different. And I'd already started working, and I would have loved to have been in your shoes.
Kate Hudson
I. I know.
Mia Tyler
Kind of at home, but.
Liv Tyler
How old were you when we were all hanging out, even without Kate? When you were dating?
Mia Tyler
16.
Liv Tyler
That was 16.
Kate Hudson
No, you were older. You were 17. And was I still.
Liv Tyler
We still in high school?
Mia Tyler
Totally still in High school. Because when the Aerosmith video came out, I was so in high school that I would get.
Christine Brown
I was 15 when that came out, so. And you're 18 months older.
Mia Tyler
Okay.
Christine Brown
So. Yeah, yeah.
Mia Tyler
Because it used to. You come on in the morning yet.
Christine Brown
No, you're 19. For that.
Mia Tyler
I had done, I believe, a cup. Like. Yeah, yeah.
Christine Brown
Yes.
Mia Tyler
Because I turned 18 when I did.
Christine Brown
Right.
Mia Tyler
So I was feeling beauty or. 17. Yeah. I turned 18 that summer. But when the video used to come on, I used to get up, my alarm would go off like any other high school kid. I would start getting ready and put MTV on, and it was the morning countdown. And when my song came on, I would cringe and run and get in the shower. And I knew that I had, like, that amount of time, whatever, five or six minutes to shower and then come back out to see the video that I wanted to see that I wasn't in. But it was on the countdown for that whole year, I feel like.
Kate Hudson
Oh, yeah, it was huge.
Liv Tyler
Was that your first gig?
Mia Tyler
No, my. James Mangold discovered me.
Liv Tyler
Oh, wow.
Mia Tyler
I was in his first movie called Heavy.
Liv Tyler
Oh, that's right.
Mia Tyler
The first movie I ever did was called Silent Fall. I killed my Silent. She was the killer with Bruce. Bruce Bears for Driving Miss Daisy. Right then I was like, 13 or. No, 15. I don't know. It's all a blur. But Spoops. That comes from that time we were in high school, and for some reason, I don't know why, you used to call me Spoops Poops. It came from Royston.
Kate Hudson
It. Well, it was. Well, that was later.
Mia Tyler
Chunks.
Kate Hudson
But it was.
Mia Tyler
How weird.
Kate Hudson
There's a lot of nicknames. No, we used to do this thing where we would basically, like, her dad does this thing where he's always like. Like, And. And it. Yeah, he's like. And. And then we don't know what happened, but we would be singing a song, it'd be like, there goes my sp. And I could just, like, start singing scouting. And I would just do the song like that. And then she just became Poop for me. Like, it was just Spoop. It was just all. It was Poop. And then it was Spoop.
Mia Tyler
But then we'll call each other and be like, Poopy.
Liv Tyler
Right.
Mia Tyler
But then I call you Spoops and you call me Poopy. But it's not actually poop related. We do talk about.
Kate Hudson
It's not.
Mia Tyler
But you do.
Liv Tyler
Yeah. Like, I poop. We call you the Poop.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, it's an endearment.
Mia Tyler
But you've always been Spoopity Poop. And then we sing songs.
Kate Hudson
Even, Even. Even Ronnie, the other day, the Rocky.
Liv Tyler
Theme song that you're doing with Boob.
Mia Tyler
We just leave each other. I have left that on her voice thing so many times.
Kate Hudson
And then. And then Ronnie, the other day, I was like, oh, Liv is coming. And she's like. And I was like, spoopy. And she's like, oh. She's like, the kids don't even know Liv by her name.
Mia Tyler
But we.
Kate Hudson
Then we. Then after that, of course, you went to college and we thrived in our professional life after I left. Yeah. You went to college.
Mia Tyler
Did you graduate from college?
Liv Tyler
No, we just went a couple years.
Kate Hudson
We went into. So then.
Liv Tyler
Thanks.
Kate Hudson
Then we were always together, so.
Christine Brown
Right.
Kate Hudson
Like, then, like, we went. I remember.
Liv Tyler
For some reason, I feel like I knew live before you.
Christine Brown
I don't know. You did.
Mia Tyler
You did.
Christine Brown
I came over.
Liv Tyler
If it wasn't for me, then you.
Kate Hudson
Guys, we wouldn't have had that connection. So then I go to New York, right? And we're obviously both working and we're. We went to a couple shows together. We then had a mutual bestie and Stella McCartney. And we were all so young and hanging out. But then Spoop and I had babies young.
Mia Tyler
So then you had Ryder when you were 23.
Kate Hudson
I had Ryder. And then you had Milo. And they were like six months apart or eight months apart or something.
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
And so us being the younger mommies.
Mia Tyler
We were so we were just.
Kate Hudson
I know we'd hang out and she was married to Chunks at the time. I called him Chunks, which is a.
Mia Tyler
It wasn't Chunky.
Kate Hudson
He wasn't Chunky. It wasn't like.
Mia Tyler
It was like.
Kate Hudson
It was like. He was so cute. It was like my. It was like Spoopy. Chunky.
Liv Tyler
Like, what did you call Chris?
Mia Tyler
Nicknames are.
Kate Hudson
Chris was just Chris. But then we went on tour together, so then Space and Oasis and the Brotherly Love tours went on the Brother. So we had, like, a very fun.
Mia Tyler
Reversal because you had your own bus. So I was in. Space Hog was the opening act. Then Oasis.
Kate Hudson
Black clothes. Yeah, well, it was a shared. You know.
Mia Tyler
But so I was in the bus with the whole band with all of Spacehog. And you and Chris had your own bus. And Spoopy was just living the life, like, so beautiful on tour. And I was like, this is what.
Liv Tyler
This is all about, right? It was Penny Lane into reality. And then she was.
Kate Hudson
So. Stop it.
Liv Tyler
It just carried over. But you know what? You know, the sucky thing is you're coming to the end of your friendship. And Mia and I were just starting our starting. Right. So in 20 years, we're gonna look back and do another podcast to remember that.
Christine Brown
I'll be like, hey, do you remember.

Mia Tyler
I want us to be Anna Nancy Wilson and I think we should do a movie. But I would have to transform myself a lot.
Kate Hudson
That you would. But. Yeah. I mean, but we. That would be.
Mia Tyler
And then we'd be competing for the best singing part. But you'd be such a good Nancy.
Kate Hudson
And I. Yeah, but I can do those high kicks with the guitar.
Christine Brown
Come on. Maybe there's a movie here talking about.

By the way, regarding the directed all of those videos.
Liv Tyler
I'm just worried about the audience. That's all the people listening. People who don't listening to this podcast might have fallen asleep on this. I'm just worried. Sister Wives returns at last. And while the Browns have all gone their own separate ways, that doesn't mean they're done with each other. Mary and Janelle are looking for love and land. But first form an unlikely alliance. Janelle is also hanging with her bestie, Christine, of course, who's off living in newly married bliss. And Cody and Robin are all that's left out there on Coyote Pass, wondering, can they be happy in a monogamous relationship? And after all the joy and drama, they hit the tell all hot seat and must answer the questions everyone has been begging to know. And maybe just serving up some spicy answers of their own. Has Cody zenned out? Is Robin owning her moment? Have Mary and Janelle finally found a special someone? And you know Christine isn't going to hold anything back. You've got to catch the return of Sister wives Sunday at 10, 9 Central on TLC.

It is springtime and for me that means heading out on vacation with my kids and my family for spring break. And I love going to see new places.

It's really nice to be able to all be under one roof and in a beautiful home. So if you are looking for a experience this spring, what better way than to go on Airbnb?

Mia Tyler
Half or half.
Christine Brown
But we don't. None. All the sibling. My little brother and sister are full. And then there's me and then her and then. But we don't say half.
Kate Hudson
Right.
Christine Brown
Like, what is?
Kate Hudson
Because, like, what does that mean?
Mia Tyler
What do we say? No, I just said brother. I call you sister. Brother.
Liv Tyler
So you have. You have two blood. You have two other blood.
Mia Tyler
Two full blood.
Christine Brown
Different. So there's three moms. Three moms and one dad. Got it right.
Liv Tyler
Okay.
Christine Brown
So live group. Liv was first.
Mia Tyler
Chelsea and Taj.
Christine Brown
Liv was first, but we didn't know.
Mia Tyler
Yeah, I was the best art.
Liv Tyler
You did, right?
Christine Brown
She was.
Mia Tyler
I love. I was. Yeah.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
We didn't know about me.
Liv Tyler
Who.
Mia Tyler
Who didn't?
Kate Hudson
We'll get.
Mia Tyler
We'll get to.
Christine Brown
Yeah, we'll get to that.
Mia Tyler
Yes.
Christine Brown
And then so I. My parents were married, so I was the thought I was the first, but now I'm not. And then he remarried years later and had Taj and Chelsea. Got it right.
Liv Tyler
Okay.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
So. So what?
Christine Brown
I know where you're going and I'm very excited to tell the story because.
Kate Hudson
It'S my favorite story. Amazing.
Liv Tyler
Oh, God, I can't wait.
Kate Hudson
Almost beautiful. But traumatic, like story because it's bizarre, you know, But Liv, you were raised by your mom, baby Buell. Your mom, baby Buell. And Todd. Right. And Todd Rungren didn't know who your dad was until you were much older.
Mia Tyler
I think like eight. We were sort of seven. Eight. Nine. Ish.
Christine Brown
Eight. Yeah.
Kate Hudson
So, okay, so walk us through this a little bit.
Mia Tyler
Okay, so what the find? Well, so the story goes that Todd and my mom were dating for Todd Rudgren, amazing musician, incredible musician, 70s on and off. I don't know, traveling, all sorts of things going on. Somehow Liz Derringer, who was married to Rick Derringer. Hang on, Sloopy Come on, Hang on Went to high school with my dad, with Stephen, and introduced my mom and Stephen at Max's Kansas City one night or something, and they made me. And one night, I think he invited.
Christine Brown
Her on tour to Europe after she.
Mia Tyler
Was pregnant, but yes. Oh, I thought the first time they ever made the love was in New York at Liz.
Christine Brown
And is that where you were conceived?
Mia Tyler
I think so, yes. And I think I know the house, which is interesting.
Christine Brown
Interesting.
Mia Tyler
That's. That's. That's a little side. Side piece.
Liv Tyler
That's amazing.
Mia Tyler
But basically, they had a love affair. There's so many interpretations. There's Todd's version, there's Stephen's version. There's my mom's version. And then my whole life I've been trying to put all the pieces together. And it kind of occurred to me in my 30s that it really didn't matter.
Liv Tyler
I was just about to say that.
Mia Tyler
That everybody. It's like everything in life, we all have our own version. And they were all beautiful. And I've just kind of like, fallen into the puzzle of it all and working on myself. My interpretation is that they were together. They didn't really know each other very well. I appeared in the belly, and I think my dad was pretty wild.
Christine Brown
He was extremely wild.
Mia Tyler
Definitely.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
Doing. He would. Amazing. Has a tremendous amount of stamina. He's like the most. He's a magical unicorn. He was gorgeous and did a lot of drugs. And I think.
Christine Brown
Well, this is also the. The story of why he has scarves on his microphone is because he liked to hide his pills and whatnots.
Kate Hudson
Right.
Christine Brown
So he could do them live on stage. So that is a very true story.
Kate Hudson
Yes. He had.
Christine Brown
He would have little pockets sewn so he could be on stage and just take whatever it was that he was suggesting.
Kate Hudson
Unbelievable.
Christine Brown
So he was pretty wild smart at that time. Doing things that no mom. To be as wild as your mom was too. Like, no mom wants that.
Kate Hudson
That's interesting.
Mia Tyler
She was just. She was 23 and pregnant and she'd left Todd or. But I think they were both probably having affairs. I don't actually know. She, I think, got a little bit scared when she realized how much drugs my dad was doing. And I think, as the story goes, she called Todd and said she was pregnant. And he asked her to come home to where they lived in Woodstock in upstate New York. And basically, he very courageously and lovingly said, this child needs a father, and I will be the father. He's very cute. I was born living. I don't. This is where it all gets a little bit confusing, because I think there was sort of an agreement that maybe I would never know or maybe I would have to be 18.
Liv Tyler
But Todd knew for sure that it wasn't his.
Mia Tyler
I don't think anyone. And I was born with blue eyes, and my dad, Stephen has very brown eyes, and I have very blue eyes, and Todd had blue eyes. So I think maybe there was always a bit of a. Like, who's.
Kate Hudson
You can't see anything.
Mia Tyler
But I didn't know any of this.
Liv Tyler
I know.
Kate Hudson
You're like.
Mia Tyler
That'S so funny.
Kate Hudson
I mean it. And even, like, your baby pictures, I would think that there would have to be some. It must. Must have been so interesting. I would love to hear that from your mom.
Mia Tyler
I.
Kate Hudson
You know.
Liv Tyler
And may you. How far apart are you guys?
Christine Brown
18 months.
Liv Tyler
18 months.
Christine Brown
18 months.
Liv Tyler
So during this.
Mia Tyler
And her mother is major, by the way.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
So during this whole situation, she's not.
Mia Tyler
With us anymore, but she.
Liv Tyler
Right.
Christine Brown
Yeah. So I think after that he had met. So my mom was married to David Johansson, who just passed away. Buster Poindexter, New York Dolls. He was. The story I was told was that he was a heroin dealer as well.
Mia Tyler
David Johansson.
Christine Brown
Yeah. And so he was selling heroin to Joe Perry and his then wife, Alyssa, who my mom became best friends with because they would all party together. And David was doing lots of junk and just not treating her so well. And then one day, my mom was up in the management office. David Krebs Aerosmith's manager's OFFICE and my dad had on this coat, which I just found and just gave to him. It's like, you know, Joseph and the Technicolored raincoat or whatever that is. But it's like patchwork long. And it was just like he had long, girly hair. And she was like, what is that? And he saw her and she was blonde. She was like the Warhol chick at the time.
Mia Tyler
She looked like she was in Jean. Jeannie, the David Major.
Christine Brown
But she had red lips and bleached blonde hair. And he was just like, what is that? And he was like. She always said he was like, oh.
Kate Hudson
Oh, what is that?
Christine Brown
And like, how old?
Kate Hudson
That's the name of this episode.
Christine Brown
And that was the moment that she was no longer with David, I guess, mentally. And it's funny because I have her journal. After she died, I got all her stuff. And it's like. It's CF because she went by Serinda Fox, and it was like, CF with Hearts plus DJ David Johansson. And then you see all these. You see a couple blank pages and then you see something's changed and there's like all these flight things. And it's the flight out of JFK where she was supposed to go home to David Johansson in New York, but instead she flew to Texas Jam to be with my dad and never came home. And then the journal after that is all CF St. And like it's such a crazy history thing to have, I think.
Mia Tyler
And they were married.
Christine Brown
They got married. So they got married.
Mia Tyler
Lived in New Hampshire in September and.
Christine Brown
I was born in December.
Kate Hudson
And how long were they together?
Christine Brown
80. 10 years.
Kate Hudson
10 years.
Christine Brown
10 years married.
Kate Hudson
So you. All of your childhoods are probably so different because you're also getting. Get.
Christine Brown
Probably.
Kate Hudson
Although you might have a similar relationship to your dad, it probably was just. Just completely different.
Mia Tyler
Well, we, we didn't meet each other.
Christine Brown
We didn't meet until like around like 8 and 10. But we grew up the same way without knowing each other. So I grew up in New Hampshire.
Mia Tyler
And I grew up.
Christine Brown
And she grew up in Maine. And the same year we both were moved to New York City by our moms. And.
Mia Tyler
And we met.
Christine Brown
Well, we met at a concert.
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Christine Brown
And we met at an Erasmus show.
Liv Tyler
How old were you?
Kate Hudson
You met.
Mia Tyler
I think she was 8 and I was 9.
Christine Brown
And there's my memory kids backstage. And so we. Her and I just played the whole time.
Liv Tyler
And I remember not knowing you were sisters.
Christine Brown
Hold on.
Mia Tyler
No, I'm about to blow your mind.
Christine Brown
I remember because there was no kids backstage. So her and I just played hard that night. And we were at this VIP area, like outside of the green rooms, and we were just like, you know, doing our eight and nine year old thing. And this fan lady came up and she was like, oh my God, you girls are so cute. Are you guys sisters? And we were like.
Mia Tyler
You said yeah.
Christine Brown
And I was like, yeah. And we pretended we were sisters.
Mia Tyler
But what she didn't know was that my mom had told me. I'm gonna start crying.
Christine Brown
I didn't know that.
Mia Tyler
So that night we lived in Maine, so my mom couldn't really handle taking care of me alone. So I went to live with my grandmother and my aunt and my uncle and cousins in Maine. So I was kind of. My mom was in and out. Oh God, this gets so complicated. She told you before? Before that show.
Christine Brown
I didn't know that.
Mia Tyler
I know she told you that you had a sister. So there's pieces in between. Steven went to rehab. He came out part of his 12 steps, he and Teresa went together. He called my mom to make a mess.
Christine Brown
Our stepmom.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Christine Brown
That he was with.
Mia Tyler
After my mom, they started speaking again and arranged to meet in Boston at one of Todd's shows, which was probably not. I think it was maybe my mom's way of thinking, oh, Stephen just showed up and it was so fun. But it was very painful for Todd, that part, I think, because I met Steven that night and then. So this was. Throughout the course of that year, he was around more. I had no idea who he was other than I. I just thought he was fabulous. And so that particular night that she's talking about Guns N Roses, we're opening for Aerosmith. It was the beginning of their welcome to the Jungle incredible moment. And we drove the gig. I remember this, which is sort of at a place called Great woods, which, I don't know, makes me emotional.
Christine Brown
There's so many levels to this story, too.
Kate Hudson
So emotional right now.
Mia Tyler
So we. Oh, babes, don't make me come over there and hug you.
Liv Tyler
I need to get emotional somehow.
Kate Hudson
I just know this story.
Liv Tyler
And she was like, no, let's talk about.
Kate Hudson
Anyway, keep going. So.
Mia Tyler
So we. My mom was like, we're going to this show. And we drove from Portland, Maine, where we live, to Great woods, which is in New England somewhere. And it was an outdoor. Sort of those little outdoor amphitheater venues. And we were a little bit late, so normally we would have just gone backstage or whatever with. With friends and for some. So we got tickets and we went to the audience and we were sitting, standing in the, you know, somewhere, and Guns N Roses was playing. And I was so excited because I just, like, loved Guns N Roses. And on the side of the stage was this one. Because standing there, Axel used to dedicate.
Christine Brown
Sweet Child of Mine to me, like, every tour. And he'd like, bring me out on stage and be like, this is dedicated to you. And I'd be like.
Mia Tyler
I just remember standing there watching them play, looking and seeing this girl who looked exactly like me. Like, we literally had the same outfit on.
Kate Hudson
Oh, my God.
Mia Tyler
We had both had perms. Like spiral perms, pink frosty lipsticks, braisted lipstick. We were both wearing an Aerosmith concert T shirt with black leggings and Reebok high top sneakers. I looked and I was like, wait, that's me. It was really weird. It was literally like looking in the mirror, seeing your double. I looked at my mom and I was like, mom? And she just started crying. My mom just like, bawled And I was like, is Stephen my dad? And she just, like, bursting. She was just like. And then she took me to a bench, and we sat on a bench at this, like, outdoor amphitheater. And she told me the whole story in the most sincere, beautiful way. Like, with. In the most loving, like, loving version about Todd, loving version about Stephen, loving version about the family that had supported us through it all. And I just was there with it. Then we went backstage after the show, and then there was Mia, and we met for the first time. And I remember someone asking if we were sisters. And I didn't. But we. But we didn't know. But then that night.
Christine Brown
So I went home that night. So I took a car. Like, they just sent a car to bring me and take me back. So I remember getting home and it was really late, and I just remember coming back, and I was like, I met this girl, and she was so great, blah, blah, blah. And her mom, Bebe, and she was like, what was her name? And she was like. And I was like, her name was Liv. And she was like, no, it's not. Her name's Amy. And I was like, what are you talking about? She goes, and that's your sister.
Mia Tyler
There's another sister?
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
She goes.
Kate Hudson
She goes.
Christine Brown
She goes. Her mom's name was Bebe. Then her name's Amy. And I was like, no, it was Liv. And she's like, that's your sister. And that's how I found out.
Liv Tyler
Wow.
Christine Brown
And just in this moment, and then I just had to, like, go back into my room and put Nick at night on and just go back to sleep, like. But then, like, two years later, I still have. You know, it's funny, I don't know the timeline, but I still have. You started sending me postcards, and, like. And I. I just found one recently, and it was just like, you know, we're like 11 years old, and you're just like.
Mia Tyler
And then we met up in New York at Liz Derringer's house, who had entered the one that from.
Kate Hudson
Oh, my gosh.
Mia Tyler
And I will never forget, we were sitting playing, and my mom and Liz and her mother Surrender were sitting, and they were, you know, like, talking. And then they looked at us and said, like, okay. It's okay. You can talk about it now.
Christine Brown
No, that is not what happened.
Mia Tyler
That's what I remember. And then we hugged, and then we went.
Kate Hudson
We have this all the time with siblings. There's always different because she was older. All the time, she was older.
Christine Brown
So I thought, you know, I was like, oh, she's so cool. But I had already known. I knew that she was my sister, but I didn't think she knew. And we both knew, but didn't know the other knew. But my mom started letting me go out with you and Bebe, and we would walk around, and I remember this because your mom would always be like, if you wanna have a tight butt, you gotta squeeze your butt as you walk. And, like, I remember being, like, 13, squeezing my butt around New York City. And then we went back to your apartment. Yeah, I think it was, like, on 18th street or something. I don't remember where it was. And my mom had to come pick.
Mia Tyler
Us up a picture of that dairy.
Christine Brown
My mom had to come pick me up. And I just remember, like, the whole day I was like. I remember even just being on, like, 14th street, walking and wanting to blurt it out, and I had to really, like, bite my tongue. And so we went back to your house, and we were. I was in your room by myself. My mom had showed up, and you were in the living room with them. And that's when they said, okay, you guys can talk about it. And you came flying into the. Oh, you came flying into the room, and you were like, you know? And I was like, you know, And. And then we just, like, sat there and hugged. And then we've been sisters ever since.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, you thought this started out like people were falling asleep. I was just getting everyone.
Liv Tyler
Man, that's amazing.
Christine Brown
Always chokes me up. They're like, you know? And like, it was just. We just. I think we sat there and cried and, like. And then we had so much stuff in common, though.
Mia Tyler
Hugging each other with our perms and pink, frosty lipstick.
Christine Brown
You can't tell the difference. I'll try and find it.
Liv Tyler
Sister wives returns at last. And while the Browns have all gone their own separate ways, that doesn't mean they're done with each other. Mary and Janelle are looking for love and land.

Kate Hudson
Hey Ollie.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
Can you tell why? I'm just buzzing with excitement.
Liv Tyler
I'm stumped.
Kate Hudson
Go ahead, tell me we are tasting spring. Spring has arrived.
Liv Tyler
Spring break, baby.
Kate Hudson
It's spring break.
Mia Tyler
Yes.
Kate Hudson
But it's also like, I'm a spring baby.
Mia Tyler
April, baby.
Kate Hudson
So, like, every time spring starts to happen, I do love a little weather, but, like, I start to get excited because it gets colorful and I'm going east coast to do some work.
Liv Tyler
Well, here's why I love spring break, because I don't care about the kids. It's my spring break. I don't have to wake up in the morning and take this to school, you know, So I like to make the best of it. I like to create new memories. Yes. For the kids, more for myself. Skiing, traveling, whatever it is.
Kate Hudson
I want to go to the beach.
Liv Tyler
You go to the beach either way. I do. Airbnb.
Kate Hudson
It's always the go to, isn't it? Like, even when you're thinking about, oh, where should I go? Like, sometimes I'll look on my Airbnb app first and be like, oh, yeah.
Liv Tyler
It'S a nice scroll. It's a way to dream. It's like, oh, I'm gonna go here. And then you can see what's available.
Kate Hudson
You've been a host, an Airbnb host?
Liv Tyler
Yes, I have some places in Albuquerque.
Kate Hudson
So did you find that challenging?
Liv Tyler
No, it's the easiest thing in the world. You can also consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're away. So, you know, I've done that with my own home to make some extra money. The best part about it is the Airbnb has a co host feature and that offers a network of very high quality local co hosts. They can do everything for you. They can create your listing. They can design and style a stay that's great for your guests. That's why I love it. You find a co host@airbnb.com host. But when did you get introduced to your father as your father? I mean, the recognition happened there.
Mia Tyler
Your mom said sort of similarly, like, oh, that way that I was, like, allowed to talk about it.
Liv Tyler
You're side stage and you're like, is that my dad? And she's like, basically, yeah.
Mia Tyler
I didn't know. I wouldn't have talked about it with him.
Christine Brown
Did he know, though? He know that you were his.
Mia Tyler
He did know, yeah.
Christine Brown
Okay.
Mia Tyler
I think that. I think that even after I was born, they saw each other.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
Which probably gets into tricky territory because you would have. Well, I don't know.
Christine Brown
That's okay. I just remember my mom with Teresa. So.
Mia Tyler
Little Snippet. And then sweet, beautiful Todd and my mom weren't together. I think they tried to be together for about two weeks, and that didn't go well.
Liv Tyler
But did you think Todd was your father?
Mia Tyler
Yes, I was raised.
Christine Brown
You were Liv Rundgren for a long time. That's how I met you as Liv Rungren.
Kate Hudson
And was that so hard for him?
Mia Tyler
I think so hard. I think it's probably still very hard and painful. And I don't speak to him enough. I love him, and I have brothers from him, and I had a whole family with them. But there was so. I was a kid, so it was really hard because he was mad at my mom. And then suddenly Stephen was there, and we did a paternity test, and. And it was positive. And so we moved to New York. I think I was 11 or 12. Like, I remember getting my maternity test summer and, like, moving.
Christine Brown
Maternity test. You were a little bit older because I was like, why are they doing that? Like, it's obvious. We all know.
Mia Tyler
But then that wasn't until after that that we were allowed to discuss it. So I knew that. I. I think I knew, but it wasn't until after. I remember being in New York, very close to where all my children were born, having the blood test and it being positive, and then seeing Steven and my mom. I saw seeing each other together during that time.
Kate Hudson
Like, now, are. Are those memories? Like, obviously, you know, you have different perceptions of little. Those little sort of moments. But, like, does it feel like that was the beginning of your childhood almost, or do you still have memories of being younger and just with your mom and Todd?
Mia Tyler
They weren't together. My mom and Todd?
Kate Hudson
Oh, Todd. Yeah.
Mia Tyler
He. He. They didn't make it together.
Kate Hudson
Oh, okay.
Mia Tyler
That's what you're saying. He took care of me as, like, I. He was dad, who. He was always on tour, too, and traveling. He had another partner and two boys. So I would go and visit them and go on trips with them, but I lived silently. I lived in Maine with my. On my uncle, my mom, sometimes with my grandma. I was kind of raised by a little mix of bush poopy.
Kate Hudson
What was your feeling like? Did you feel like you were betrayed that time, or did you feel just an excitement that you actually felt like now you knew what your life really was like? What was the.
Mia Tyler
Honestly, I felt it was quite, like, sort of mature. It was very weird. I felt so much love and so much. I think because I had already lived with Annie and Teddy and my. My family in Maine. I'd already lived with my grandmother. I'd already lived with My mom, I was kind of used to. I was. I'm such a cancer crab. I'm very adaptable. I was able to, like, soak up the love that I could, and everybody was so different. So I remember when you say the, the.
Christine Brown
The Tyler. Well, you know, our real last name is Tallerico, so the Talarico.
Mia Tyler
We're Calabrian.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Christine Brown
Our little clan of Brazilian. We're very, like. My dad's side is very Italian. Very eclectic. Very, like, gypsy. Like, gnome, you know, like, all the trees have faces in them at our house. But, like, there was just, like, this weird, like, not weird, but, like, eclectic gypsy vibe. And that's why, like, we were always like, gypsy, you know? But, like, so did you. Did you feel like once you, like, realized all of us were your family, that you felt like, oh, right, I belong here, like, because you're very much Gypsy Talarico, even though that's not your last name, but, like, Gypsy.
Mia Tyler
Stage man, that is great. I'm gonna start checking into everybody.
Christine Brown
The queen of I.
Mia Tyler
It was like layers. The first. The first wave was shock. After that concert, we went home, and my mom had a chaise l in front of a window. And I remember sitting there for what felt like three days, but it was probably three hours, right? And just basically coming to this conclusion at the end of, like, whoa, I have two dads and all this love, and, like, maybe there'll be two Christmases. I just was really excited about it because they're all so different and so lovely.
Liv Tyler
But was there a point where as you get older, you're like, okay, now I think I need therapy so much.
Mia Tyler
I've always been.
Christine Brown
We've all been in therapy since everyone else.
Liv Tyler
But I'm saying therapy is that moment where it's like, oh, and then you get older, you mature, and things start to happen. Your life starts to formulate, and then you're like, wait, I need to deal with this?
Mia Tyler
I think I've always been dealing with it.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
But for me, I, I. I'm like, well, it's also just part of our job as actors. Right. Like, I started acting at 13 or 14. It's like the first thing you're doing is looking at the text and, like, well, what do you really mean by that? And what's going on underneath that and having to dig into those places of your childhood and other experiences, that human.
Kate Hudson
Behavior is at the core of what you do.
Mia Tyler
We do. How did you feel that? I always think more about what that must have felt like for you, because.
Christine Brown
It was like, well, I had always wanted. I grew up an only child at first, because my little sister wasn't born until I was nine. So I had wanted siblings. I wanted siblings. I would sit there and I would just squeeze my body as hard as I could, thinking that that was, like, reaching whatever would bring me siblings.
Liv Tyler
Wow.
Christine Brown
And I would just, like. And pray for that. And then so.
Mia Tyler
And there I.
Liv Tyler
Squeeze so hard.
Christine Brown
I had a little sister and an older sister. I had both a little sister and an older sister.
Kate Hudson
And it was.
Mia Tyler
Oh, Chelsea's so fabulous, too. I call her. I call her and Taj, Cheech and Chong, because they were so. But she's a mom with kids now. And so. But I still colored Cheech. But she is so fabulous.
Christine Brown
So I was just excited to have siblings. Like, well, I was just all of a sudden a middle child. And it was great.
Liv Tyler
Once you guys met, though.
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
You know, how did that relationship sort of continue? You were both in. Were you both in New York?
Christine Brown
We. I moved for sixth grade, and you were in seventh or eighth grade.
Mia Tyler
We lived such different lives to the Upper east side. Sarande was fabulous.
Christine Brown
My mom was, like, Lower east side queen. But she had this big dream of being. She wanted to be this, you know, wrapped in furs, walking around the Upper east side, very sophisticated. So she dragged us up to 82nd and Madison, and.
Mia Tyler
And she was really mad at our. Sarinda. Was very mad at Stephen.
Christine Brown
Was very. Yes.
Mia Tyler
Because he had kind of left her in New Hampshire. He had taken her from her life in New York and then. And had a baby and then kind of like, left her. Sorry. Dad In Sunapee, New Hampshire, alone with Mia.
Christine Brown
Without family or money or anything.
Mia Tyler
Whereas, like, I had grandmother, aunt, uncle, and a lot of supports. Mia, you were alone a lot with your mom. Oh, God. And no money.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
Cause he was a heroin at the time.
Christine Brown
I think everybody always thinks that, too. Like, we grew up so rich, and I was like, we. I mean, I was a Toys for Tots kid for most of my childhood. Getting, like, the local motorcycle crew would come and bring me, like, used toys.
Liv Tyler
For Christmas at the height of Aerosmith.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
There were so many different periods. Right. Because there was, like, 70s time.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
Then there was, like, skid Row time.
Liv Tyler
Right.
Mia Tyler
They lost everything. And then I think it was the 90s. The 90s. When it was, like, sort of the video that I was in and stuff.
Liv Tyler
So that's the whole other.
Mia Tyler
Living on the Edge, which is so cute.
Kate Hudson
I know. It's. So they did. And he wrote Pink.
Christine Brown
I love That I was on Pink. I sang on Pink.
Kate Hudson
You did?
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
Uncle. I think Uncle Mark's a writer on that one.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
What?
Liv Tyler
Did he write it?
Kate Hudson
Uncle Living on the Edge.
Mia Tyler
He did, by the way, listen to Living on the Edge. Drive home and listen. Listen to the words. It's so. Right now, it's so. You're like, wait, this needs to come out.
Christine Brown
Well, they were. They were recording up in the hills. They were recording up in the hills and the LA riot started. So they were watching the LA riots, and that's where those lyrics came from.
Liv Tyler
Oh, wow.
Christine Brown
And that's why it's called Living on the Edge, because they were on the.
Liv Tyler
Edge of 92, 93 LA. Yeah.
Christine Brown
Watching it burn. Wow. Yeah.
Liv Tyler
But how did your relationship progress? Two different moms. You know, you guys were. You found your. You found your sisterhood. You're essentially in love. And it's like, okay, well. Or not.
Kate Hudson
Because.
Mia Tyler
Because of our age difference, too.
Christine Brown
I.
Mia Tyler
And I was like, oh, I want to know my dad. We would go visit, and she would hang out with Chelsea and Taj, and they were, like, a little bit younger and play. And then I was just that little bit older and through a period that I would just wanted to hang out with my dad. So I'd stay up all night in his dressing room talking to him.
Christine Brown
The truth of that is, and I don't care whose feelings I hurt by saying this, is that our stepmom was very territorial with our little brother and sister and dad. And so any slight thing that would take him away from her and her family, she would kind of push us out. And so I was like. I was worried. And I'm being honest, I don't think I've ever told you this. I was worried because you came in and you just wanted to be around dad. And, like. Like, of course, what child wouldn't? And she said, I was a little.
Mia Tyler
Bit more of a teenager. I was, like, becoming a woman.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
So I was like, yeah, what have. I didn't. It's not that I didn't want to, like, build a fort, but I was like, whoa, I'm gonna go into my dad's, like, dressing room. He just tells stories, and we try things. It was just. We were. That. That 18 months.
Christine Brown
I was afraid that she was gonna push us out. So I was like. I started acting like, I don't care about dad, because I. I really didn't. I wanted, like, my little sister. She's my best friend, and the minute she was born, I was like, hooray. Like, I remember the day she was born and like pacing around the house when they were gonna bring her home because like I was just like, I have a best friend. But I was so afraid that Theresa was gonna push us away because you were trying to get to dad. So that I started ignoring him. And I would go beeline it for the little brother and sister.
Kate Hudson
It's so interesting because.
Christine Brown
But it worked out because she got to spend spend all the time with him. And then it wasn't threatening to Teresa because I was with the kids.
Kate Hudson
But the dynamic I love I is fascinating because it's three different moms. But you're the middle child.
Christine Brown
Each other.
Kate Hudson
But you're still the middle child.
Christine Brown
Oh yeah.
Kate Hudson
And. And what you're explaining is like pure feels like total middle child feeling of.
Christine Brown
Like we are very much like she's definitely like the adult.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Christine Brown
Even though she came in later, she still has always stepped up and been like the leader for everything. The mom.
Mia Tyler
Just because I went first with everything. Babies first, house first.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Christine Brown
I'm very. So Chelsea and I technically are the middle children. And then there's our little brother who's just the only boy and who is just spoiled wrong. But he is the opposite of Gypsy Talarico. He's a construction worker and he's married with two kids and lives in the woods and goes hunting and wants nothing to do with LA or anything.
Mia Tyler
This is a really interesting.
Christine Brown
And he's the best at dad in the.
Mia Tyler
We all. Even though Steven Tyler is our dad. And the story that the press always tells in every article ever is that like we grew up on tour in this.
Liv Tyler
Right.
Mia Tyler
Wild. Crazy. I grew up in Maine with my family. She grew up in New Hampshire and Chelsea and Taj grew up in Marshfield, Massachusetts. So we all grew up in this. Nowhere near Hollywood. I don't think I came to LA until I probably around meeting you. Then we were in New York a little bit. But it's very interesting because it's a through line for us in the way we are as parents and the way we raise our kids. Like I live in the mountains in the middle of nowhere and I'm raising my kids. So out of all of that, Mia always has been very much not a part of the entertainment industry. Very much far away from eventual scenes. Taj are doing the same.
Christine Brown
Yeah. They live in the woods in Massachusetts.
Liv Tyler

Christine Brown
The.
Liv Tyler
Fact that your dad is who he is, at what point did that sort of come into play with you guys as adults, as teenagers in your 20s, you know what I mean? Was it.
Christine Brown
Well, it was more for you because you were being an entertainer and you were, you wanted that world. I wanted nothing to do it. My mom was trying to force me to be an actress. I had to do like auditions and stuff and I hated it.
Mia Tyler
Me too. I didn't, I didn't want anything to do with that.
Liv Tyler
Did you embrace who your father was or did you want to sort of, you know, do your own shit?
Mia Tyler
I moved to New York that summer. I was 12. I loved the freedom of walking around New York, but I was looked like such a woman. I was just a little girl, but I was this tall and this weight and height. I was like. But then I started my. I think my story is that my mom was very close to Rick Ocasek from the Cars and Paulina Porizkova, his wife. And actually they took pictures of me and that sort of started my modeling career. Was that Paulina.
Christine Brown
Weren't they on the beach or something?
Mia Tyler
Some of them were.
Christine Brown
They were really pretty. I remember those because we had. I don't know why. We had copies of those. There was, like, one on the fridge.
Mia Tyler
It was like this, like. But I was on the beach. It was crazy. So I started modeling. I was in high school, and I got asked to go on a couple of auditions, which I was terrified to do, because, as you know, I'm outrageously shy and. But it was just. It was so. That was a strange thing, because it was definitely something my mom not pushed me into. She just was like, you're doing this? And I was terrified. But I did. And then. No, mom.
Kate Hudson
No.
Mia Tyler
Exactly. Apparently. Which is so funny, because she used to always say. She used to always say when I was little that I was gonna be an actress when I grew up, and I didn't know what she was talking about, but, like, you, I was always singing. Always singing around the house in the back of the car, just with, like, every ounce of my heart.
Christine Brown
You also wanted to be a kid, though, because I remember, like, your mom pushing you to do auditions and stuff, and you, like.
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Christine Brown
Weren't allowed to eat cookies and stuff. And then we would go. Because back then in the 90s, you could just run around New York City being little girls and with no parents. And so we would go to the store. We'd have, like. No, before that.
Mia Tyler
Before that.
Liv Tyler
That's what we used to do at 16 years.
Christine Brown
Oh, my God.
Mia Tyler
Before that.
Christine Brown
Before that, when we were, like, so.
Kate Hudson
Fun, we used a 90 club, and.
Christine Brown
We would get, like, five bucks each, and we would go to the store. Remember that time we'd find, like, a stoop and we would buy, like, four bags of chips and some like.
Mia Tyler
Oh, yeah. I wasn't allowed to eat junk food. And we would eat. Yeah, I got a Kudos Bar in my lunchbox. So when I would go over to friends, I'd really like.
Liv Tyler
Oh, my God, A Kudos Bar.
Kate Hudson
All right. Okay.
Mia Tyler
So I would go over to a friend's house and be like, what's that?
Liv Tyler
Well, I remember just. I just remember Liv coming into my life and thinking, why she's a year younger, but she is so much older than me. It felt like I was just very sophisticated. And, you know, I was like, wow, Sophisticated. You're like this older woman, even though you were younger.
Mia Tyler
It was that, no New York.
Liv Tyler
I think you might have been rolling blunts. And I was like, damn. I was like, she's rolling blunts. And she's like boom.
Mia Tyler
Puffing.
Liv Tyler
And I'm like, whoa, who is this crazy?
Kate Hudson
I feel like it's like I never smoked because you're dying out at all.
Mia Tyler
Which is I never smoke now.
Kate Hudson
I feel like that everyone knows, like your dad obviously. But then when you really think about your guys moms, you know, when you think about the, the life they had, both of them. I remember the one of the first times I met Bibi was we were out about New York and we were super young. I think even like 20. I think I was like 20. You know, I don't even think I was 21 yet. It was before Chris and she had a young boyfriend. I don't know if it's still who she's with.
Christine Brown
No.
Mia Tyler
Was it Coyote, her husband? It was her husband Coyote.
Christine Brown
He was dyed hair, died blood.
Kate Hudson
And then we went to this like club.
Mia Tyler
Was he playing?
Kate Hudson
And she was on stage singing.
Mia Tyler
Oh, wow. Yeah. My mom, by the way, was in the most incredible bit. Growing up in Portland, Maine, my mom was in the best band called the Gargoyles.
Kate Hudson
But she had talk about, talk about presence. Like Bibi was like, I mean a star in her own the, you know, and the way she saw herself too. Even as much as, you know, it's just, she just is full of life. Feels like, like. So you had both of your parents, even though your mom isn't as well known.
Mia Tyler
But that made me very. Not yet. I, I, I would, you wouldn't call me shy.
Kate Hudson
No, but, but I have like.
Mia Tyler
Yeah, it's like if I'm at home with you, I think that's, it's like I'm, I can be. But I tend to on that, that I think their behaviors or they're just.
Kate Hudson
Like tap dancing wild energy. That's what Liv, like, Liv was probably like going like, okay, okay, like, like, you know, it was just like constantly.
Mia Tyler
And then I had my grandmother who is in etiquette. Like had worked in Washington and the government and was like focusing on teaching etiquette still to this day. She's 95. I was just with her all last week. And my family in Maine, I had like a lot of different.
Kate Hudson
But your creative side, like your mom and dad. And that sort of creative energy is so intense and, and I, I just think it's amazing that you came out of that as, as centered as you are. Like I always say, you know, that's a recipe for like a wild child. Yeah. And what do you attribute?
Mia Tyler
And then I think it's my grandmother, my auntie, my. And I, I Know, so weird to talk about astrology and stuff like that, but I'm so Cancerian. I'm a double cancer. And my other thing is in Capricorn. I'm like a cancer with cancer.
Kate Hudson
Rising cancer.
Mia Tyler
It's a full moon. You have to do our. She does the best full moon ceremonies ever. But I very much.
Kate Hudson
Okay, I. We can do one.
Mia Tyler
You want to do one?
Liv Tyler
I don't want to do a fun full moon. I'm a Virgo. Virgos don't do full moon. Full moon?
Kate Hudson
What are you talking about? Virgos are the most like moon Virgos.
Liv Tyler
I was actually born on a full moon.
Christine Brown
My son was born on a full moon.
Mia Tyler
What?
Liv Tyler
Really?
Christine Brown
Do you. Okay, so when the full moon comes, couple days before and after. Are you just bonkers?
Liv Tyler
I don't know. I feel like I'm bonkers all the time.
Kate Hudson
But you're actually quiet right now, which makes me think you're thinking about something else.
Liv Tyler
No, no listening. Because usually our podcasts are. It's a lot of energy and it's funny in this, but hearing these stories is just so amazing. And I've known you for so long and I've, you know, of course you transitive leave, you know, but it's just. I, I, it's interesting, isn't it amazing?
Kate Hudson
Well, I was going to say then your mom, who's like this iconic, you know, also pretty wild.
Christine Brown
She, she was more reserved, though. She was more like you. She was very, like, kind of shy and, and prude and just kind of like. No, I don't mean that you're prude, but she was just very, like.
Liv Tyler
That's offensive.
Christine Brown
Reserved.
Liv Tyler
Liv is not prude.
Christine Brown
I think she was intimidated by your mom because your mom was loud and big and, like, she just was very shy. Like, I heard stories from dad and mom that dad was so, he wanted her so bad, and she was like, no, no, no, no. And that he would come to her hotel room door and just scratch on the door. And then finally one day, she just opened the door and she was like, you can come in, but the door is staying open. And then, you know, the door closed. And then I was conceived, you know, in Hawaii a couple months later. So, but that's how it started. He would just scratch, and she was just like, no, no, no, no. But she was just very, like, reserved. But she was like, she looked like Marilyn Monroe.
Mia Tyler
She was beautiful.
Christine Brown
Bleach, blonde hair, red lips, and she knew Iggy Pop and David Bowie.
Mia Tyler
She was in Warhol movies.
Liv Tyler
She was in what was it like, growing up like that for you, Mia? Meaning, you know, was there a recognition that this is who your parents were? Did you. How was school where people, like, all over your ass because of who your parents.
Christine Brown
I was more funny about it because I just was like, everybody. Like, somebody would come up to me like, oh, my God, who's your dad? And then I would, like. I would do one of two things. I would be like, Bon Jovi, just to throw them off, or I'd be like, oh, my dad died. You know, And I would just. With people because I was just so annoyed by the whole thing. And so I just kind of played and had fun with it. And I just really. I mean, I didn't. I didn't want to go by Tyler. I was actually sat down by him and said, don't go by Talarico, because we don't want everybody to know that's our last name. Now everybody knows, but it's. You know, back before the Internet, you know, he really thought that that was.
Liv Tyler
Like, just from mystique standpoint, like, he.
Christine Brown
Didn'T want to let anybody know because.
Mia Tyler
People change their names because they were, like, too long or. Stage name.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Christine Brown
But I didn't care. I didn't want anything to do with. I mean, I wanted to be a singer. But then dad shot that down. He was like, don't do that. And I was like.
Mia Tyler
When we moved to New York, we had such. Her mom moved to the Upper east side, and she went to Marymount, and we moved to the Lower east side Girl Catholic school. She was in a uniform. I actually did go to the dis. I was very dyslexic and adhd. So I went to York Prep, which they called Dormant Prep at the time, which was actually a fabulous school, but I lived on the Lower east side, so my mom was in, like, her punk bands, and we had very different.
Christine Brown
My mom was wearing, like, fur coats and fur hats, walking around, which I still have her fur coats.
Mia Tyler
I don't know what to do with them.
Christine Brown
But just walking around Madison Avenue and just with her little Yorkie that she would walk, and it was like. And I was, like, miserable.
Mia Tyler
I was like, I cannot wait to.
Christine Brown
Get out of here.
Mia Tyler
Give me a breakfast, Tiffany.
Christine Brown
I hated it.
Kate Hudson
So funny.
Liv Tyler
It was like, from a macro standpoint, hearing it all just feels so sexy.
Mia Tyler
Oh.
Liv Tyler
You know what I mean? But of course, there's a tumult. There's a tumult. It's tumultuous and it's up, but it just feels sexy. Almost like the mafia, in a sense. You know, it's. It's hard, but it's just.
Mia Tyler
Well, for me, when it got really could have been weird for me as a teenager, I started acting. And that really saved my life because. Yeah. And I got to work with these incredible filmmakers. Like, I graduated from high school.
Liv Tyler
Bertlucci. Right.
Mia Tyler
And left the next day to Rome to work with Bertolucci on Stealing Beauty. It was so cool because my mom. I was a tough cookie. Even though I'm shy, she had really, like, armed me with the ability to suss out a situation and protect myself. So I always felt kind of safe. I had that little New York. But I was in some pretty weird, weird situations and. But I got to go and work with Jeremy Irons and all these amazing actors. And I was so cute on Dr.
Kate Hudson
T and the women when I was 19.
Mia Tyler
That's right.
Kate Hudson
And then we ran away together.
Liv Tyler
Where.
Mia Tyler
And Kate's in the movie.
Liv Tyler
Oh, not in real life.
Kate Hudson
No, in ki. Wherever she was.
Mia Tyler
Our friend is here was with us.
Kate Hudson
And, and we got. Yeah, we got to. In the movie, we, we were like lovers.
Mia Tyler
It's so funny. She's always like, why didn't we really.
Kate Hudson
We didn't even, like, we were sitting.
Mia Tyler
On this bench and we had to.
Kate Hudson
Make out, and we, like, we didn't really make out. We should, like, actually really make. Made out.
Liv Tyler
Well, you weren't, you weren't comfortable with your femininity at that point.
Kate Hudson
No, I just feel like it wasn't.
Liv Tyler
You were. Kate wasn't.
Mia Tyler
Yes.
Kate Hudson
Only my masculinity. All the more reason why I should have gone in for the kill. I, I, I know. It was really funny. Like, looking back at it, it was sort of like, God, that was such a. A wimpy kiss. Like, we should have actually really liked.
Mia Tyler
It was quite a sweet movie.
Kate Hudson
It was very sweet.
Mia Tyler
The movie was very sweet.
Liv Tyler
If you were like, tonguing like porno.
Mia Tyler
Tongue, it was a sweet.
Kate Hudson
And we were like besties. So it was just sort of like the whole thing. Oh, and Claire Bow was on the movie. Remember my little Pomeranian?
Mia Tyler
Claire Spoops.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, Claire.
Liv Tyler
Everything is just spoop. Sister wives returns at last. And while the Browns have all gone their own separate ways, that doesn't mean they're done with each other. Mary and Janelle are looking for love and land, but first form an unlikely alliance. Janelle is also hanging with her bestie Christine, of course, who's off living in newly married bliss.

Kate Hudson
Hey, Ollie.
Liv Tyler
Yeah?
Kate Hudson
Can you tell why I'm just buzzing with excitement.
Liv Tyler
I'm stumped. Go ahead, tell me.
Kate Hudson
We are tasting spring. Spring has arrived.
Liv Tyler
Spring break, baby.
Kate Hudson
It's spring break.
Mia Tyler
Yes.
Kate Hudson
But it's also, like, I'm a spring baby.
Mia Tyler
April, baby.
Kate Hudson
So, like, every time spring starts to happen, I do love a little weather, but, like, I start to get excited because it gets colorful and I'm going east coast coast to do some work.
Liv Tyler
Well, here's why I love spring break. Because I don't care about the kids. It's my spring break. I don't have to wake up in the morning and take this to school, you know? So I like to make the best of it. I like to create new memories. Yes. For the kids, more for myself. Skiing, traveling, whatever it is.
Kate Hudson
I want to go to the beach.
Liv Tyler
Go to the beach. Either way, I do Airbnb.
Kate Hudson
It's always the go to, isn't it? Like, even when you're thinking about, oh, where should I go? Like, sometimes I'll look on my Airbnb app first and be like, oh, yeah.
Liv Tyler
It'S a nice scroll. It's a way to dream. It's like, oh, I'm gonna go here. And then you can see what's available.
Kate Hudson
You've been a host? An Airbnb host?
Liv Tyler
Yes, I have some places in Albuquerque.
Kate Hudson
So did you find that challenging?
Liv Tyler
No, it's the easiest thing in the world. You can also consider hosting your home on Airbnb while you're away. So, you know, I've done that with my own home to make some extra money.

They can design and style a stay. That's great for your guests. That's why I love it. You find a co host@airbnb.com host.
Kate Hudson
I could talk about this forever. Mia, what are you doing now? Like, are you. I know you're mom.
Christine Brown
Mom. I am like, such a good mommy and.
Kate Hudson
But you're so creative. Like, so what do you do for that as an outlet?
Christine Brown
You know, I don't.
Kate Hudson
Okay.
Christine Brown
It's one of those things where I'm at, in my mom journey. So I had a son, he's seven. And my boyfriend and I now I was telling you guys before a little bit, his mother had custody of her great grandson who's 5, and she passed away in October. So we got him in the will. He was bequeathed to my boyfriend Dewey. And so we have now since October been on and off parenting him. But we since January are full on parents now to him.
Kate Hudson
Unbelievable.
Christine Brown
So my boyfriend went from being like single guy living, but I've known him for 17 years, so we've been friends for a long time. But he was single guy living by himself to a year later living with me and my son. And we have a five year old now. And so I am, I was just at that point with a seven year old where I was having freedom. He could, he could go wake up in the morning and go watch TV and make his own cereal. We got to sleep in. And so now we're right back at 5. So we are right back in taking care of you.
Kate Hudson
So you are doing the hardest and best job in the world, which is.
Christine Brown
You know what? I love it when they're gone. I'm like miserable. I'm like, where are they? But I, I crave them to go. But then the minute they're gone, I'm like, yeah. Oh, but yeah, bye.
Liv Tyler
That's it.
Christine Brown
I'm saying later.
Liv Tyler
Were you.
Christine Brown
We've already decided that when Those boys turn 18, we are getting a tour bus and we are gonna go drive around the country and just be old and be that couple that's in a tour bus living life. But yeah, I don't have any outlets.
Kate Hudson
I always love being on the bus. Yeah, I love being, that's. I'm happy doing that too.
Christine Brown
But I'm in that phase right now where I have zero outlets for myself. And it's okay. I'm 46 and I realize now that life is about, you know, we always want to partner like, this is my equal. But it's not about being equal. It's about being able to carry the weight. So like right now my partner isn't available mentally because he lost his mom and he's going through a lot of stuff. So I told him recently, I said, if you don't have anything to give right now, that's fine. I will carry 100% right now because I'm really good at that. My love language is giving and I'm like sprinkling it to the boys. So. But he's also, he's good at Balancing.
Mia Tyler
Let him give to you.
Christine Brown
So right now he can't. And we've had that discussion, and I. And I said it's perfectly fine right now that I'm carrying things because he's. He's starting to come back around.
Liv Tyler
Do you mean even just emotionally?
Christine Brown
Emotionally, yeah. And just kind of. I mean, he's definitely there to help take care of the kids with me, but emotionally, yeah. So I think it's important that people understand that it's not about. About being 50. 50. It's like some days.
Liv Tyler
Totally agree with that.
Christine Brown
If you can be 100 and the other person 0 and being okay with that and discussing that. So that's. Right now, that's where I'm at.
Kate Hudson
That's so amazing. It's really. That's actually really hard for people to do. I don't think I've ever been able.
Liv Tyler
To be really communicative to express that.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
Hey, I'm about 65 right now. You know what I mean? I need.
Christine Brown
But the secret there is having a good partner. Because I have had partners in the.
Kate Hudson
Past, and you have a great.
Christine Brown
I didn't care about myself until I had my son. And now my standards are like. And so my. My boyfriend now, he's a great man. I know that he can handle things when the.
Mia Tyler
The.
Christine Brown
The tables turn.
Kate Hudson
That's so great. I. I think that way about relationships all the time. It's like the. The give and take and. But also, really, what I'm hearing you say is, like, everyone's life experience is their own. We choose to be with our partner and we create this unit. But there's sort of this expectation that because you're in a unit, that means your life doesn't really exist outside of that unit. When it's so important to give people the freedom to have their own life experience, a totally independent one of their partner.
Christine Brown
And figuring that out as a family is.
Kate Hudson
Is challenging.
Christine Brown
But you know what it's like? It's like when you do a puzzle and you get to the, like, you know, the end, or you really figure it out and you're like, oh, my God, this is great. Like, I love being in this chaos right now. It makes me feel like a really good mom because I love being a mom. My whole life, everybody used to call me mamma mia. And I hated it. And then once I finally was mamma mia, I was like, fuck, yeah, I am. And I just. I love it. So I feel like I'm in this little puzzle right now, and I'm like, holding everybody Together. And I'm really loving it. It's stressful. I have to fly to Mississippi tomorrow with two boys with a layover. Yeah. And because I have to fly with both of them, we have to fly, you know, Southwest coach, which, which, maybe that sounds snobby, but, like, I like to fly in first class. But so, like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm with you. I'm going on Southwest because we can all sit together in a row and like, we have a layover because there's no direct flights to Mississippi. So pray for me tomorrow. But, like, I just, I, I'm looking forward to that kind of stuff. Of course.
Liv Tyler
Here's the thing. No matter how, if it's, if it's an easy trip or if it's. You just do it.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
Like, that's the thing.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
You just do it. And you, you, you get through it.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
You just do.
Christine Brown
So when I land tomorrow at 9:30, I'm gonna feel, like, exhausted, but I'm gonna be like, you know. Yeah.
Kate Hudson
So what now that you, I mean, we only touched on the surface. I'd love to get into, like, all the other year, the, you know, the, the rest of it.
Mia Tyler
But let's talk about our female women, adult self.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
We always talk about our childhood.
Christine Brown
I, I, oh, yeah.
Liv Tyler
Who are you? Now?
Kate Hudson
That's what I was going to say. Like, who are you? Like, when you look back and you reflect on, like, what you came from, how you grew up, the, the sort of, like, wild tapestry that you both came from.
Mia Tyler
Oh, I like that. Shoop.
Christine Brown
Wild tapestry.
Liv Tyler
That's the name of her new album.
Mia Tyler
I love it.
Kate Hudson
So wild.
Christine Brown
That gypsy tolerant song.
Kate Hudson
Like, Back to Friends. So, but, but like, what, you know, what would you say that you took from your life that you still want to give your kids some of? And what is it or not? Or what is it that, like, you think is so different from how you grew up?
Mia Tyler
I'm gonna speak for all of us, but I shouldn't. But I would. I observe as the, the alpha pup, the elder. We all saw our parents, like, really busy working and like, potentially. Career was always sort of first. It was like there was just certain things that had to be accepted and maybe parenting not always first. And I would say that all four of us sibs, we've really prioritized parenting over anything.
Kate Hudson
Yes.
Mia Tyler
At the detriment of relationships. Relationships, career, whatever. So where we, we all four have children now. Two. I have three. Milo is 20. Sailor is. Yeah.
Kate Hudson
Believe it.
Mia Tyler
So that was like our I would say it's been something for all of us to re parent ourselves through having our children and potentially healing some of those wounds while celebrating the beautiful tapestry, as you say, of what we came from. And that's for sure been my journey of. And throughout. I've had sort of two. I had Milo first just for 10 years, and then I had a whole other family with Sailor and lula who were 8 and 10 now. So yeah, it's an interesting thing. And now I'm starting a business and trying to figure out how I can be home with them and not be on set and away and traveling, but fulfilling my. I'm excited for your dreams and goals and stuff.
Kate Hudson
I've gotten. I've gotten nice. I've got all the samples. I love it. I'm so excited.
Mia Tyler
But it's so fun to allow yourself to for life.
Christine Brown
Right here. Treats.
Kate Hudson
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll live.
Christine Brown
I'll live.
Mia Tyler
But it's so fun to explore your secrets.
Liv Tyler
It should have been all live.
Kate Hudson
Well, you can come in and do a collab.
Liv Tyler
I'll do a collab called just come.
Mia Tyler
Do a song for me because you're. You singing your songs makes me so happy. Those are my favorite comments all day from you singing one of your songs on the toilet.
Christine Brown
Oh, my God.
Mia Tyler
Whatever.
Kate Hudson
Those songs, his coffee songs, they're so good.
Mia Tyler
Ollie, how do you do that?
Christine Brown
Is this like an Instagram thing?
Mia Tyler
He just.
Christine Brown
Instagram.
Mia Tyler
He just starts freestyling. It's not freestyle rapping.
Liv Tyler
It's like he just singing.
Christine Brown
Okay.
Liv Tyler
I don't know, It's.
Mia Tyler
You could pick anything. It's done and it's so a singer.
Christine Brown
My little 7 year old is going to be a huge singer. I can already tell. He sings most of his songs on the toilet.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, he'll go in there and he's.
Christine Brown
Just singing at the top of his lungs. So cute spot.
Kate Hudson
I realize that Ronnie has. Speaking of toilet talk. Ronnie has what I have, which is when I'm on the. When I'm on the toilet, somehow the door always opens. I'm always like, Ryder, are you like.
Christine Brown
I get.
Kate Hudson
I want to talk. Oh, I want. I'm like.
Liv Tyler
I'm like, this goes way back.
Kate Hudson
I'll even call. This goes way back. I was like. Tati was like. And I'm like, hey, Tati, did we ever call the, like behind the door?
Mia Tyler
No.
Kate Hudson
Kate, when we were living, we were.
Liv Tyler
Kids, our rooms were right across from.
Mia Tyler
Each other and she would come into.
Christine Brown
My room, sit on the toilet and be like, so, like Oliver like, lit.
Liv Tyler
I'm like, what is going on?
Kate Hudson
And sit and like. And, like, goss. I gossip. But then. But Ronnie, now. Now, Ronnie, I realized she.
Mia Tyler
She does it all.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
She sits.
Kate Hudson
She was on the toilet every time she opens it, and she's like, Lisa, her. The nanny. She's like, I feel like tomorrow I should wear the. Like, she just like, you know, the blue flower bell bottoms. I'm like, oh, my God.
Mia Tyler
Spoopy. Can we talk for one second about you making your dream come true and singing in your album? Because my whole life that I've known you, that's been, like, all. You're always singing. We go over to the house, and she has a microphone.
Kate Hudson
I make Liv listen to me.
Mia Tyler
What do you mean? Your version of Creep is the greatest thing. I can't. I can't sing Creep any other way than your. But it's so beautiful. I'm so proud of you. Oh, so proud of you. I told you that when I.
Kate Hudson
It's really funny because there are only, like, a handful of people in my life that really know, like, have, like, unders. Like, have seen it.
Christine Brown
That.
Kate Hudson
That. How important it. That piece of my life is.
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
And it goes back to, like, what you're saying about your Italian heritage. Like, honestly, I didn't know where that belonged to. Oliver. His songs definitely didn't. It wasn't a clue. It wasn't a clue. Now I get it. I get it. But, like. Like, I always felt very alone in my, like, your music in, like, that crazy connection. I think what's so great about this time, too, we grew up, like, here we are talking about our family, and we're being obvious, you know, as you want, eloquent and elegant about how we talk about how we grew up, because we don't ever want to, you know, offend anybody or hurt anybody's feelings. And those things can be sensitive. But, like, we're living in a time now where people feel much more open about being honest about where they come from and what. What that meant for them, how they reflect on it. And then as an artist, you don't have to just be one thing anymore. You can go and have a creative idea that has nothing to do with acting, and you can go connect with nature and make something beautiful.
Mia Tyler
The hardest thing now is focus. This, though, because we're all so distracted.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. And you're already adhd.
Mia Tyler
But to focus in on it, I asked that. I've passed it on to my children, to particularly Sailor and Lila. But I asked the woman that they See who's this incredible reading specialist if she would test me because I've found. I've found so many loopholes and ways of memorizing my lines and seeing things differently and. But I would love to know exactly. Like all my kids have like total diagnosis.
Liv Tyler
They do. See, I want that.
Kate Hudson
I love you guys so much. Let's do our last little thing that we do, which is we're gonna do two questions.
Liv Tyler
First of all, how long do you guys get to see each other?
Mia Tyler
A lot. Not enough. It's so stupid because it is hard having this many kids.
Liv Tyler
We're like, yeah, I know. I mean, so how often in a.
Mia Tyler
Year, let's say we just saw each other. Sailor's birthday.
Christine Brown
Whenever you do birthday parties or like Thanksgiving, she does a big shindig. So we drive up. I love where she lives. So I'm always like, can I come up?
Mia Tyler
And you're always like, we need two more.
Christine Brown
So we need two more.
Mia Tyler
Thanksgiving was intense cuz the kids were up till like midnight and it was. And I'm super relaxed. But I was like, this is too much.
Liv Tyler

It is springtime and for me that means heading out on vacation with my kids and my family for spring break and I love going to see new places and one of the fun things about exploring new places is being able to get on my Airbnb app and see what is out there.

Sometimes when we're like doing kids stuff together, she's so laid back.
Mia Tyler
And the kids such a good, strict mama.
Kate Hudson
I am so strict. I start to have these moments with the kids are like jumping and running and things. And I'm just like, I can't discipline her kids.
Mia Tyler
And then I'm like, when Lul. We went to see Taylor Swift. That was so cute. Ronnie and Lula.
Kate Hudson
But. But the thing is, is. Is for me, then I'm sitting there, I'm like, I. I feel like my kids watch that and they're like, you're the worst.
Liv Tyler
What are you doing?
Kate Hudson
No me about me.
Mia Tyler
Was your mom. Was your mom very strict with you or Very. Yes. So.
Liv Tyler
And then we were off doing our own.
Mia Tyler
I don't think my mom was strict with me, but I was a little bit scared of her.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, my kids are definitely scared of.
Christine Brown
Oh, yeah.
Mia Tyler
Oh, God.
Kate Hudson
Okay, here's the question. The first part of the question, the two part crush. First part of the question is if there's something that you wish you had more of with your. Of your sister, like, sort of something you would emulate, what would that be? And then the second part of the question would be something that you wish that you could alleviate from your sister that, you know, that it would be, you know, make her life just easier or, you know, for.
Christine Brown
For me, like, Liv always knows, like the, the things like the tapes, the. Yeah. The real estate, the soaps. Like every time she comes home for Christmas or something, like, I kind. And I'm like, what's in there? And it's like that Neutrogena rain bath soap.
Mia Tyler
That's from dad. Oh, but yeah, that's.
Christine Brown
I saw.
Kate Hudson
But she orders it.
Mia Tyler
But I steeped that in dad's shower and I was like, remember that? Oh, my Neutrogena, like, body oil.
Christine Brown
She always knows all the stuff, like the foods and the products and the, like, just everything. So I'm always like, as a mom and a younger sister, I'm always like watching, like when you used to.
Mia Tyler
But if I tell you you don't like it. It. You can observe it. But if I tell her, she's kind of acting. No, that's not true.
Christine Brown
Because she'll send these, like, group texts and it's like, get these nightlights. And so the first Thing I do is I go straight to Amazon and I buy all the stuff, or there's like, spatulas, and I'm like. So she's always got, like, the. She's always got the in on, like, the stuff that works. Because, you know, like, as a mom, you buy everything, and then you realize nothing works, and then, like, the kids don't eat it. But she always just knows. And I wish I had that. So I just kind of, like, sit back. So every time I go to your house, I'm, like, checking everything out. So that's, like, one of my favorite things about you as a mom, Sister mom, is that you just, like, you just kind of beast through being a mom. Like, I know that you've had practice with, like, Milo and stuff, but, like, you really observe.
Mia Tyler
I just observe.
Christine Brown
I would never know to find the Neutrogena rain bath. And I know you say it came from dad, but, like, no, because I.
Mia Tyler
Go everywhere I go, I love look and I like fe. I just collect, like, oh, that smells good. Or that felt good, but it sounded good. Or I want to eat that.
Kate Hudson
You know when you're like, you have.
Christine Brown
To buy children's shampoo, right? And you have to get, like, kid shampoo. But she one time she had no. You had, like, Pantene. And I was like, oh, right, Pantene. Two in one for kids. That's so smart. You just knock it out. And that was a game changer for years. The Pantene 2 in 1.
Mia Tyler
I can. Yeah. Lula has this, like, crazy curly hair, and she's always winds up in bed with me. So cute. And the curls. It's so much hair. I'm, like, choking on it. But now I just sniff the Pantene there. But it's like, I used to be a Pantene girl once, but now I have, like, three. Three years left. I remember your hair.
Christine Brown
I remember that commercial. She's like, on the. Weren't you on, like, a trampoline?
Kate Hudson
And she's like, so what would you alleviate for your sister?
Christine Brown
I mean, you know, we've all been single moms and moms with partners and then single moms and stuff. So as a mom who's been a single mom and now I have a partner, and I know that you're single momming. I always. My wish is to alleviate some of the weight that you carry with three children. Because now having two, I know how insane it is.
Mia Tyler
And for me to trust. Trust. I love trust.
Christine Brown
And just alleviate some of your love, you know?
Mia Tyler
Okay.
Kate Hudson
Yes.
Liv Tyler
Are you dating?
Mia Tyler
I don't. I. I mean, no. No, no.
Liv Tyler
Well, let me talk to Aaron. Maybe we go on a date.
Mia Tyler
Oh, Aaron's so cute. I've never dated. I don't think I've ever been on a date in my. I. I can think of one person and I really didn't enjoy it.
Liv Tyler
Oh, really?
Mia Tyler
That's always been like, h. Love you. We're together.
Kate Hudson
I just saw one of those of yours from, like, when I was in New York a couple days ago.
Christine Brown
That's my wish for you, though, because, like, I. I went through, like, so many duds and just bad boys. I can change you.
Mary Brown
I can fix you.
Christine Brown
And I have like, the most amazing guy now that I manifested and we were friends for 17 years and I just never saw it. And then all of a sudden one day I said, I was like, if I'm gonna date again, you need to write me a ten thousand or a thousand word essay on how you won't waste my time. And. And he fucking did it. He wrote me. And I don't care if he went through ChatGPT, but he wrote me an essay about how he won't waste my time and he does not waste my time now. And so I wish. My wish for you is. And he's like a hot biker bearded thing. And I just. And I want that for her. I want her to, like, have a man. That's just. I told my. I told him, I said, if you want me, you need to bonk me over the head like a caveman and drag me into your cave. I love that because that's the only way it's going to work. And I. I want you to get bonked over the head and just. I want you to find a man that's just like a man.
Mia Tyler
I feel like my whole relationship I've been.
Christine Brown
But mine is older. Bryson and I were 20, man.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
Okay.
Liv Tyler
He's going to bonk the. Out of you.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
You need to get heart stays. Like, I. I still. I have like a love in my heart still. And it just takes me a long time to. Yeah, I'm still.
Christine Brown
You need an older man to bonk you.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Christine Brown
So that's. That's my manifestation for you.
Mia Tyler
It takes a long time for me to let go. Like, if I love someone, I love them so much and it's forever. I'm friends with every boyfriend I've ever.
Christine Brown
Friends with any of them, and I don't want to.
Kate Hudson
But then, but then, but then when it arrives, you. You shift pretty quick.
Mia Tyler
Yes.
Kate Hudson
The love just goes away quick to.
Christine Brown
You if he shows up, like.
Liv Tyler
Right.
Mia Tyler
Okay.
Liv Tyler
I feel good now.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
This is good.
Liv Tyler
Some more love in my heart.
Mia Tyler
That sounds great.
Kate Hudson
It'll come. It'll come. And what about you for your sister?
Mia Tyler
What was. I was trying to remember.
Kate Hudson
The first question is, what do you love that you wish had more of?
Mia Tyler
Just time. Energetically energetic.
Christine Brown
Her.
Kate Hudson
Of her personality, of who she is.
Mia Tyler
I would say the first thing that jumped. It was just time for us to know each other more because we met in such an abrupt way and it was always like, oh, we're siblings and we're sisters. But we've never. I don't think we've ever. We've never gone away, just the two of us, and had like a sleepover weekend. Because there's always Chelsea there, charge there, my dad there. We. It's hard for us to just be alone.
Christine Brown
You should go to one of those, like, massage places you go to, like, for the weekend, you know, because I don't want a colonic, but I would.
Liv Tyler
Start doing some coffee. Colonic.
Kate Hudson
I love that's. No, but what is it about who she is that is something that you wish.
Mia Tyler
Same thing. I wish I could alleviate her power and her strength.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
But I wish that she could surrender to trust sometimes that like. But that. But. But I get. Yeah. That you're. That she's safe. We have a thing with safety and trust because it's that thing of. It's not like if the person's gonna leave. It's like, when are you leaving? Because I know you're leaving because everybody.
Christine Brown
Else from our abandonment issues. And that's a whole other episode.
Mia Tyler
But we can. We love anything.
Liv Tyler
I know what you're talking about.
Mia Tyler
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
I love you guys.
Mia Tyler
I know we can do this. We don't get to ask you any questions about your sibiness.
Liv Tyler
I know.
Mia Tyler
Well, but you guys talk about it all the time, you know.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Liv Tyler
Talk about it.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. Our listeners know so much.
Christine Brown
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
About your dad and.
Liv Tyler
Oh, yeah.
Christine Brown
Oh, yeah.
Liv Tyler
It's been headline after headline.
Kate Hudson
But spoop. I want you to talk a little bit before we go about what you're doing right now.
Mia Tyler
Oh, oh.
Kate Hudson
So people can get excited. Yeah. If you can talk about it.
Christine Brown
No, you need to talk about.
Mia Tyler
Talked about it with anyone. But I totally can.
Kate Hudson
You can. Okay. Talk about it. Because.
Mia Tyler
Secret person. It's so funny. I just. You know what it is? It's that thing of. Of as an actor, you kind of don't. You always feel like, oh, the movie might not Come out, even if it's a huge movie. So you don't talk about it until it comes out yet. So I relocated to this little mountain town, and I always had these dreams of. I've always been such a homebody and kind of creating things at home. But my whole life I've had these visions of, like, chickens and children and music and food. And so I started a business that's called Pink Mountain. And I've been working really hard to kind of trademark everything and have everything be. But I have olive oil. And olives were growing, dropping into my living room, and I started making olive oil and my favorite olive oil.
Christine Brown
It's so good. I'm learning.
Mia Tyler
Love it so much. We'll end them. Our Italian. Like, everywhere I've gone my whole life, I bring olive. Like, I have to just cover everything in olive oil and salt or I'd rather not eat it. If I have to go somewhere and there's no olive oil inside, I might not eat. But I also adopted all these pixie tangerine trees, which are a special thing of Ojai. And so I. I did kind of a slightly crazy thing. I Covid happened. We relocated to this town where Milo was going to school. And I let go of all my representation, all my agents and managers. And. Yeah, for three years, not because of anything other than I decided that I wanted to allow myself to be able to think without influence from other people. Because we're always so influenced. Like, you'll read a script and then you'll have one. One thought, and then they're convincing you of something else. And I thought, what would. After being 13 and starting, I just was like. Wanted to know what it was like to exist in something that I could create that was a hundred percent my painting or my what was coming from my soul and my mind. And so I kind of, like, cleared the space and then put a little team together to help me do that. And so I've been working towards that. It's been really fun.
Liv Tyler
Were you pressing the olives like local?
Mia Tyler
Yes. Well, that is a whole journey.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
This week, we drove three hours away to the most incredible place, and I met this, like, wild, amazing, mad scientist man. It's really. That part's really interesting. Is sort of studying. I love to study. I think that's my favorite thing about being an actor is having not gone to college and maybe not having the best education. I love learning things and in such an intense, kind of focused way. So I'm just enjoying nerding out on the passion of like farmer Liv.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
I love being farmer Liv. It's so fun. Chicken and cats. And by the way, chickens are the best pets ever. Oh, they're the best. They put themselves to sleep at night, and they give you one egg every day.
Kate Hudson
They're so cute. I loved my chickens. I had my chickens for a long time, and then one lasted, like, 11 years. It was, like, almost a decade. It was crazy. People were like, chickens don't last that long. I'm like, well, she did.
Mia Tyler
She did.
Liv Tyler
She's fun.
Mia Tyler
I'm very sweet. They're like little dinosaurs.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. Well, it's not as simple as. It's not simple.
Liv Tyler
I'm not talking about the workload. I'm just saying nature working with, you know, food and nourishment.
Mia Tyler
I've learned a lot from that. When we moved from during COVID why I called it Pink Mountain is. The town I live in has this thing called the pink moment, and every day, the mountain turns pink for about three minutes. But I had never grown up in the mountains, and there's something so powerful about whenever I was stressing out, going through a lot of changes, and I would go outside, and there was this, like, huge mountain.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
And it just put everything in such perspective that all my problems. And we're gonna come and go, and the mountain's not going anywhere.
Kate Hudson
We all feel about Colorado, like, growing up in Colorado. I think we all, like, weirdly just want to be there.
Liv Tyler
Yeah.
Christine Brown
But we're not, which is weird.
Mia Tyler
And in the wisdom in the mountain, it's like thousands and thousands of years of. It's just there.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Mia Tyler
And all these. All these other things are going to come and go in the mountain. Mountain's still gonna be there.
Kate Hudson
Well, I can't wait for all of this to start happening and for it to come out, and people are gonna love it. I just know it because you're work. You're working so passionately with it, and, like, even just the way it looks and you're.
Mia Tyler
I didn't even get to show you.
Kate Hudson
I can't wait.
Mia Tyler
I can't wait to show you more. Other than, like, I've been sending Christmas. I didn't send you any. You don't send me for Christmas. Every Christmas, I've been sending marmalade and olive oil. I love you guys.
Liv Tyler
