So today I have with me Brandi Roderick. She's a 2001 Playmate of the Year. She is now a director and producer of her own movies. She's an author. She's been in many films, and she's just an incredible businesswoman. So Today, you're going to hear a lot of her story and what she's doing now. And so without further ado, welcome to the show. Hi, how's it going, Sean? It's going good. How are you doing?
I'm doing fantastic. Doing really good.
I'm feeling kind of like we probably should have flown a plane out there and done this in your bar. I mean, look at that. Look at that bar.
Yes, I could have made you like a really cool martini, a whiskey drink.
Whiskey, yes.
You like whiskey? I do. Yeah.
I do like whiskey.
Gosh, I know. It's like, you know, some people have like, oh, they love desserts. You know, it's like, you know, their downfall. But for me, it's like whiskey is my dessert. Like, I love it. I love having a good nightcap after dinner.
Oh, man. I wish, you know, for me, I almost to me, I would be like, I wish that was my downfall. For me, Brandy, if I have one piece of chocolate, I have 17.
Oh my gosh. Wow. Okay.
And drinks. I can be like, all right, that was a good drink and I could be done.
Yeah. Okay.
Probably. Well, you're lucky. You're lucky. Oh, my goodness gracious. Well, thank you so much for coming on. You've had such an amazing career. You've done multiple things. And what I like to do in the first couple minutes of every show is allow the guests to kind of give the audience a little bit of a background on them for those that may not know exactly who you are. They may not. If they saw some epic scenes, they would know exactly who you are. But yeah, Starsky and Hutch, right?
Yeah.
I was like, wait, that was her. I was like, wow, that's crazy. Um, but, uh, but listen, so please take the time to educate the audience and who Brandi Roderick is.
Um, well, I'm just a small town girl from Northern California. Um, uh, but I always grew up wanting to, uh, be an actress and started at a very young age doing, you know, like little place for the neighborhood parents and kids and little things like that. Um, I went to college and my minor was in theater and did as much as I could in the San Francisco area, as far as like independent films and TV shows like Nash bridges. And, you know, like I was in the rock and Metro and all these different big films that come there, like as an extra, right. But you can only go so far not being in Hollywood. So at the ripe old age of 23, um, You know, because that if you go any later than that, you know, you're pretty old, you know, going into Hollywood. But I packed up and I packed up a U-Haul, didn't bring didn't bring my car, sold my car, packed up a U-Haul, went to my friend's house, slept on his couch for like a month before a room was ready that I can move into.
