Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the significance of Mother's Day for Candice Bergen and Chloe Malle?

5.752 - 21.624 Candice Bergen

This is The Run-Through. I'm Chloe Mao, and our beloved Chomanati is on a flight back to London, which is very sad because it was a delight having her in New York. We are taping this with two other Run-Through regulars, stalwarts, Taylor Antrim, Marlee Marius. Welcome back.

21.985 - 22.446 Chloe Malle

Hi, Chloe.

22.987 - 24.67 Alexa Chung

Happy to be here.

0

26.234 - 27.456 Chloe Malle

Slow week, right?

0

28.533 - 35.086 Candice Bergen

Guys, I have a lot of questions about Monday night and takeaways, but... We have questions for you.

35.106 - 37.029 Chloe Malle

You had a very exciting Monday night.

37.069 - 42.159 Candice Bergen

I had a very exciting Monday night, and we're just, you know, white-knuckling it through this week.

Chapter 2: How did Candice Bergen balance her career and motherhood?

42.72 - 48.752 Candice Bergen

Sure. A few days ahead of Mother's Day, we are airing a conversation between me and my own mother, Candace Bergen.

0

48.732 - 54.879 Chloe Malle

Truly a big week to have the Met Gala and your conversation with your mother on the run through.

0

54.959 - 79.547 Candice Bergen

So, yes, we were thinking as a group, we're like, what should we do for Mother's Day? And our producers were like, you know what? Why don't you and Candace talk about motherhood? That's gold. But before we get to that, we... have had a big start to our crazy week. It's one of the longest weeks of the year here at Vogue.

Chapter 3: What insights does Candice Bergen share about being a grandparent?

79.888 - 82.451 Candice Bergen

It's like 24-hour days in Sweden.

0

82.952 - 84.554 Chloe Malle

Yeah, I think... Midnight sun.

0

84.714 - 92.745 Candice Bergen

We're all living in midnight sun. Wow. We had the Met Gala on Monday, for those unfamiliar.

0

92.725 - 102.994 Chloe Malle

I want everyone to understand what a shift this is for Chloe in that she has been truly the kind of like queen, the doyen, the czarina of the war room.

0

103.014 - 104.275 Candice Bergen

I prefer ringmaster, but sure.

104.295 - 114.784 Chloe Malle

Ringmaster? I mean, you were dressed nicely and you had to go upstairs and be in the mat last year. But really, your happy place is in the newsroom war room where all of us are.

Chapter 4: What was the atmosphere like during the Met Gala preparations?

114.804 - 117.926 Candice Bergen

It's so fun to see everyone operating on all cylinders.

0

118.066 - 128.86 Chloe Malle

And this year, tell our listeners, this year you were explicitly barred. From going downstairs and hanging out with the service staff.

0

129.281 - 131.124 Unknown

The second string.

0

131.364 - 138.115 Candice Bergen

Yeah, Anna did say, Chloe, you can't hide in the basement this year. Your job is upstairs.

0

138.616 - 144.905 Chloe Malle

And honestly, the sadness that I imagine you felt in that moment was just... The snacks.

144.945 - 149.15 Marley Marius

The snacks that you spearheaded and that we all benefited from and we're so grateful for.

149.17 - 152.033 Candice Bergen

I mean, Flutter Butter Bakery, Bon Bon.

Chapter 5: What are the highlights of the Met Gala experience shared by the hosts?

152.213 - 160.582 Chloe Malle

Bon Bon's a plenty. People should understand that if they want to eat at the Met Gala, you got to be in the basement. There is an abundance of food. I couldn't believe it.

0

160.602 - 165.147 Marley Marius

Piles of water. Piles of sandwiches. Like it was. Nothing went to waste.

0

165.207 - 168.471 Chloe Malle

Nothing went to waste. Everything had a home in the end.

0

Chapter 6: How does Chloe Malle reflect on her childhood memories with Candice?

168.491 - 172.856 Chloe Malle

It was shocking to me. When the pizza arrived after like 45 minutes after dinner.

0

172.916 - 173.256 Marley Marius

I know.

0

173.236 - 177.725 Chloe Malle

I was like, oh, my goodness. And I swear to God, all that pizza got eaten.

0

177.885 - 183.657 Candice Bergen

No, I know. Things are arriving in shifts. It was a long day. It was a long day. Because what time does one have to arrive at the war room?

0

Chapter 7: What parenting philosophies does Candice Bergen discuss?

183.677 - 189.048 Candice Bergen

Because the streets. Sorry, we actually call it the press room now because it doesn't feel.

0

189.108 - 191.633 Chloe Malle

It's a little more dignified than the war room, too.

0

191.866 - 195.191 Marley Marius

We are members of the media. We're at the lot, yes.

0

195.492 - 202.824 Chloe Malle

Yeah, yeah. Okay, yes, because all of the streets close. Yes, it's a nightmare. And you have to be in before the streets close or you're not getting in.

0

202.844 - 206.13 Candice Bergen

So we say in by two, streets truly shut down at three.

Chapter 8: What are the memorable moments from Candice's career in fashion and media?

206.29 - 212.099 Candice Bergen

And they are not kidding around with security. And before that, it's hard to navigate the streets around the Met anyway.

0

212.2 - 225.739 Marley Marius

Like, it's just... Streets in front of like the big hotels where people are staying are crowded with sort of barricades and sort of people lining up early. And it's a whole scene really navigating that part of the city. So it really does make sense for us to be there pretty early.

0

225.839 - 232.809 Candice Bergen

But that means people are there for like 10 hours. Oh, so long. Florence is really the mastermind of the press room.

0

232.83 - 233.871 Chloe Malle

Everyone has assigned seats.

0

233.851 - 248.995 Candice Bergen

Florence has all the credentials, all the food, and she gives everyone assigned seats based on your colleagues who you're working most closely with. It's a really highly—I mean, people think the Met seating chart is highly organized. Florence's restroom seating chart.

249.415 - 271.261 Marley Marius

Our table was very close to the live stream screen, which is like— Terrible seat for me. Well, you couldn't see, and that was okay. Literally over my shoulder. Yeah. It was helpful for me because I need to be close because I can't see in general. Because you won't go to the optometrist. Okay. That's an aftermath conversation, an aftermath appointment.

271.501 - 276.125 Marley Marius

But, yes, it's nice because we're all kind of watching the live stream together. Screaming.

276.406 - 279.849 Chloe Malle

Which is projected on a huge screen on one wall of the room just so people can picture this.

279.869 - 303.312 Candice Bergen

The ground floor of the Met, and it's one of the classrooms that they use for educational things. So it's— But next door, there is a huge room with our whole livestream team. And then around the corner, there's another room with our visuals team. So it's a really, it's like a rabbit warren down there of activity. And the sheer tonnage. A beehive of activity and a rabbit warren.
