Julia Louis-Dreyfus

We're going to grab her on Zoom now to see what her thoughts are. Sit tight. Hi, Mommy.

Yeah, I know. I felt the same. By the way, I don't know if you know this, but my sister Lauren came to watch it live, too, as did my niece, your granddaughter, Fia. And she came along as well. And so she got to meet Nancy Pelosi, which was very important and exciting. I thought that was cool.

Well, not just her grandchildren. She brought all the children up. Well, yes. So there were lots of people who had brought their kids on the opening day of Congress and they had brought their children and grandchildren to the floor. And so she invited all the children up. Right. Which is so cool of her to have done.

And also, by the way, you know what else is interesting? She has said many times that she's doing the work she does, she's doing it for the children. She uses that phrase a lot. I thought that was particularly interesting because I don't know if you remember, but Patti Smith, when she was on the show, she said the same thing.

When people ask her where she stands, she says she stands for the children. That's an interesting framework to think about a point of view, a political point of view, to apply that lens to help you come to a conclusion or an opinion.

Okay, but I think that the calendar thing probably has to do with an update on the iPhone, and I can help you figure out the calendar. There's a search thing that you can push.

I can help you do that.

I will. I promise. So, by the way, this is, as you know, the end of season three. And I think what a perfect conversation to end on because we can all sort of leave this season thinking about what is our why and kind of pound down on understanding why. not only what our why is, but how it came to be, and then apply it to our life and move forward positively.

And I mean, it sounds like this is all of a sudden a self-help podcast. I really don't want it to be or mean it to be. But anyway, it's interesting, an interesting thing to consider. I've actually been thinking about what is my why. I'm not really sure what it is, but I'm thinking about it. Anyway,

I just want to say that's the end of Wiser Than Me Season 3, and it was a great one to go out on, and bam, there you go, right? Oh, yeah. Sorry. Sorry, Mommy. Had you fallen asleep? No, no.

I didn't know who I was talking to either. I'm talking to our listeners, but I'm also talking to you. Yeah, you're still on here.

Yeah, that's right. So it's true. If you've got older women in your life, take some time to listen to them. You might learn something. And, Mommy, I learned tons from you, and I love you tons.
