Everybody, welcome the cast
of Girls5Eva
to the show.
Yes.
Welcome to the show.
Thanks for being here, y'all.
Oh, we're so excited.
Jon!
Renee.
Oh, thank you for being here.
It's my pleasure. You all look
stunning.
Well, you got a hell of a head
of curls.
Oh, thank you.
And we're matching with our green.
Thank you. Coming back for season
two, doing the press tour,
going to all these different places.
You were at a few places today.
I know.
Only one.
Wow.
Shockingly.
Oh, boy.
Alcohol infused.
She just fell off.
Am I wearing pants?
And can someone tell me what his
twitch stream is?
Because I thought that's something I
tell my urologist.
Do women go to
urologists or is that a male thing?
I've never been to a urologist, so
maybe not. I don't know.
I have a twitch stream.
Seven 27.
I'm getting there.
You're not you're not getting
anywhere near there Jon.
You still have pieces of egg on
you.
Jon when I was 27 I had already been
on 47 television
shows.
Oh, my God.
When I was 27, I had not.
Oh, me neither.
I'm a Capricorn.
Aries.
Aries?
Cancer.
I'm a cancer, too.
I just want to talk about how much I
love the women that are here.
Yes.
I'm not well, I mean, my love
language is not gift giving.
But I love.
I.
Learned from these women because
they are gift givers and I
because I love them so much.
I made this little
bracelet.
A little bracelet, and it has
it has all of our birth stones
on it.
It's so beautiful.
I love it.
The point is, I learned
a little later than 27 in my life
that the way I was going to make it
through the rest of the journey was
with women that I love,
women that could teach me something.
I mean, that most importantly, women
that are real,
that are real, that understand that
the things that they're vulnerable,
vulnerable.
Vulnerable.
Vulnerable about
and the things that they're these
these are clearly.
Very clearly
very powerful women.
But most importantly, they're
like, there's no representative.
They're they're real.
And I realized that I would make it
through the second 25
years of my life.
Mm hmm.
With women like this.
We love. Beautiful.
We love. Renee.
Preach, Renee.
Throughout this whole process, you
know, you've obviously gained so
much love for each other.
But how...
I thought you were going to say
weight.
I thought he was going to say.
Jesus Christ.
Like I was like, is this
what twitch is?
What sort of fucked up...
And not in your boobs!
Given the weight comment, this
question maybe not correctly
phrased, but how have you
all of a grown together over this
process?
I feel like truly,
from the first season, the four of
us together took
on. I've worked with people that
I've loved, especially
ladies that I've bonded with,
friendship wise, everything.
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, anyone.
But I feel but I feel like
these ladies, we kind of
went to family quick.
We went to a familial
enmeshment very quick, which
is full of love,
and we give each other shit and we
get intolerant, intolerant of
each other in a hilarious way.
We needed safety during these couple
of years, and we found it
in this, as Dr. Phil would say,
and I'm sure he stole it from
someone I saw.
We're done. He's done.
A soft place to fall is we
created a soft place to fall and
a place to rise.
A place to rise like everybody.
Like everybody's sourdough bread.
Yes, yes.
We too rose during the pandemic.
And I'm the starter.
As I'm older than everyone, I'm
in the jar.
I think we're all in the jar.
We're a gelatinous
blob.
Yes.
That's beautiful.
What I loved so much about being a
part of this show, Jon, what I've
learned on my journey is that
it is I am only
as great as
the amount of investment I've spent,
the amount of investment I've given
in lifting up the woman that's
standing next to me.
You all have such immense
experience, whether it's in music or
writing or kind of all over the
entertainment sphere.
But what about this show?
Is the most important thing to you
right now? Because the way that you
guys interact and the way that
you're talking to each other makes
me think that it's genuinely
one of the best things going and
that you're so happy about it.
It absolutely is one of the best things
going.
Sara.
Sing it.
And three out of the four of us
In all three of my TV shows.
Mm hmm. Yes.
Many, many, many.
You're 46 TV shows by the time
you're 27.
Yeah.
I feel very lucky
that the first experience in
television now I've done a lot of
collaborative experiences.
But I really feel...
Jesus Christ Superstar WHAT!
Hello!
If we do
it as a barber shop.
Bom, bom, bom.
Bom, bom.
I don't know.
We had some beverages.
So also, I
feel like I feel so lucky
that my first experience in
television was...
Not as a producer because
this bitch is a producer on shows.
I'm very, very important.
Very important person.
Very.
Number one on the call sheet.
Okay. But okay.
But anyway, season one, I was
so scared and
this group of women,
in addition to our incredible crew
and creative team,
was like so beyond supportive
and it felt so playful and we
were also all healing from
COVID.
In the moment, we were all so
grateful to be at work.
We were.
We were we there was no there was no
vaccinations yet. I mean, we were
going to work and everyone was so
grateful to be there.
So I think we all bonded in
a particular way because of that.
The more you can be generous
with your your copilots.
You know what I mean? Like, the
better it'll get.
Mm hmm.
I also want to say, just because
you and I were talking before this,
that there is a thing about age.
There is something really freeing
that comes with age in a creative
pursuit, which is that you do
realize that competition
kills creativity and the moment
that you sort of open yourself
up to like offering
the best of what you have because
it's going to make you want other
people to shine.
I just realized, like, yeah, no,
my career doesn't look like
so-and-so's career, but that's
because it's not.
That's how I'm able
to, like, show up to support
all of my beautiful
friends here and everywhere.
All of my friends.
All of us. And you, Jon, and you,
and you.
Nobody can do somebody else's
thing as good as they can do their
thing. So do your own fucking thing.
Like just do it.
There is this huge theme in the show
about being a famous person,
but also kind of living a normal
life or attempting to live a normal
life at the same time.
Do you all have that experience
as well in your lives, and do you
kind of bring that to the show as
well?
Yes, we have like
literal storylines that.
I mean, there's a storyline in
season two where Dawn's
there's a miscommunication with her
husband and she ends up having to
bring her child to a music
video shoot.
And this was like me at South by
Southwest with my child, my
eight year old having to
balance, trying to do my job
and is my eight year old
okay.
And did she is this babysitter
going to take her to a bar?
Like what's going to happen?
It starts to feel very important
how you show up in the public
eye.
And it's so true that it's
just one part.
And the more you can cultivate
that sense of balance, it's
really, you know, life is holding
to disparate things at the same
time.
Always another thing to file under
my good things that come in your
fifties. Don't be afraid of them.
Is that I.
I realized how much
I used to have that I'd
be told this, but I'd also tell
myself this that you can't say no to
anything. Because if you say
no to that, then things will
everything will start to go away.
And if you start being more
selective about what fits with my
life so I can have the real
life with the crazy other life,
and you quiet it
a little bit and you have, which I
now have a no asshole policy which
has worked fantastic.
It weeded out a lot of people.
It's a pause.
You know who you are.
Fine. Just say yes to what
brings you great joy and then fill
the rest up with your wonderful
person and your animals and
your home and for you guys, your
children. And so.
Yes, that's my answer.
Yes.
My vagina! My vagina!
How about this guy's twitchy?
Twitchy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah.
Paula.
Renee.
Sarah.
Busy.
Thank you all so much for being
here.
I had an absolute pleasure
being here with you today, and
it would make my heart so warm if
you could stay with me here forever.
Five ever.
Five of five ever.
Thank you very much.
And everybody, watch season two
of Girls5Eva.
It's coming May 5th on Peacock.
Thank you, everybody.
My vagina!
