Yeah. What a fun time. I had actually lived here from 2014 through 17. And so when I come back to Scottsdale, I cry because this is, oh gosh, right Quinn? We were landing today and I started crying. I'm like, this was home. I hope you appreciate where you live. This is the best place.

It is. I will be back. Mark my words. And I had to come back to Connecticut in 2017 when they were going through layoffs. Said, we want to keep you, but you got to come back. So smart. And I loved my job. And so you leave and you go back. And I was watching how it was being handled here. And it was a lot different than the Northeast, as you know, just like California.

I'm just going to say it.

He is, but he's really quiet about it and needs to speak up a little bit.

Come on, Cutler. But he had just started his podcast and his publicist said, hey, he hasn't had a woman yet. Would you mind? I'm like, absolutely. I actually had crushed him on his Bears highlights for years. I'm like, let me go on the podcast and try to be nicer. And he did a great job. His research team, they did a great job.

And they looked up things that I had spoken about in the past, in particular on The View. This is in 2014. I know the view. 2014, when it was different. Barbara Walters was still there when I was on. And so he brought up, that was one of the hot topics, was Barack Obama. And Barbara was upset that I didn't identify as a Republican.

black woman because it was important to me to say what I am, which is biracial. I have a mother who's half Irish, half Italian. When I say Italian, my grandmother's name was Philomena Lena Dipertola. Yeah. I know when you see me, you think Italian all the way. And then my grandfather was William Edward O'Neill. So don't mess with Mona Steele. My mother will cut you. And then my black father.

So I'm, you guys, isn't that the definition of diversity? I'm so proud of my diverse background where my black family loved me as much as my white family. And our family reunion pictures were all colors of the rainbow and as a beautiful thing. And I didn't understand why Barbara Walters was so angry with me for saying I'm biracial.

And so she asked me on live TV on ABC, why don't you identify as black? Our president does. And I said, well, congratulations to the president. I think it's fascinating because... He was raised by his white mother and his white grandmother. And his black father was nowhere to be found. And he wrote a book about it. This is not breaking news. But you do you. I choose to identify.
