00:11I love that this is all about quieting the noise, finding the lighter moments in life.
00:16What ways do you both like to do that?
00:18I usually like to come to things like this because it's very quiet, very, very calming.
00:25There's not a lot of music for people.
00:27There's very little alcohol.
00:29So, I think these are probably the places you want to come.
00:33Exactly.
00:34Where you thrive.
00:35Exactly.
00:36Listen, I like being outside, much like Dylan.
00:39I mean, we're both weather people.
00:41She's actually a meteorologist.
00:43But, you know, there's something very soothing about being outside.
00:47Just as simple as, and I think that's one of the things that Hoda's app is going to do.
00:53It's like, you know, yeah, there's all these things.
00:55But there's also like, you know, very simple.
00:58You know, I've noticed my oldest is starting to, you know, feel emotions, you know, and talk about them all the time now.
01:06And he gets a little worked up, a little anxious.
01:08So, we've been doing a lot of breathing together.
01:10You know, just like these moments, the box breathing at night when he tries to calm himself to go to sleep.
01:15And I notice in teaching him how to do that between breathing and journaling, like I'm showing him what you're supposed to do.
01:23And in doing that, I tend to do it myself.
01:25So, definitely.
01:26I love when Hoda said that, you know, she's working on being a calm mom too, which I feel like all parents do that.
01:31When do you feel like you have to check yourself the most?
01:33Usually after I'm like yelling to put pajamas on, like just get over here because it turns into like, we call it like pajama ninjas because they're just like wrestling and fighting and they're just running and then they're naked and then they're running all over.
01:47And it's just like, what is going on?
01:49Everybody put your jammies on right now.
01:51Right.
01:52And then I realized I need to calm down a little bit.
01:54Yeah, definitely.
01:55You know, I think it, listen, I don't think it changes.
01:58I mean, I got adult kids and they'll tell me things and I'm like, ugh.
02:04So, you know, very much, you know, you just kind of like take a deep breath and know that they're going to be okay.
02:13You know, so it doesn't matter whether they're three or 33.
02:17It's just kind of, okay.
02:19Parenting never stops.
02:20No.
02:21Never stops.
02:22You know, I think we were reminded so much of what a family today is, especially not only today, but last week, obviously with Chanel and our hearts obviously go out to her.
02:31How is she doing?
02:32You know, obviously this is such a unimaginable time.
02:36I mean, she's such a close friend to me and I still don't have the words.
02:40I don't know what to say.
02:41I've reached out.
02:42I don't want to, you know, push too hard.
02:44There's just a lot of things that she must be juggling right now.
02:47I mean, I just, I don't know the right words besides I'm here.
02:51Whenever you need a hug, let me know.
02:53I'll be there in a second.
02:54And I mean, I just, I pray for her every night.
02:57Yeah.
02:58It's one of those things, you know, you always say, we tend to say, oh, I know what you're going through.
03:04I know what you're feeling.
03:05Nobody knows.
03:06I mean, that's, unless you've actually been in that.
03:09So, you know, it's, it's just, we're there, you know, we just want to be there.
03:13And, you know, you know, pay tribute to the wonderful person that Uche was and still will be because he's going to live on in those kids and live in all our memories.
03:24It was so wonderful getting to learn about him too and know about him.
03:27It really was a beautiful piece.
03:28Special, special guy.
03:29I'm blessed to have got to know him.
03:31Yeah.
03:32And he was just really handsome.
03:34Right?
03:35Yeah.
03:36What a man candy crush on him.
03:39It was like, it was like, there was one point where he was training for a triathlon and he had this three piece, this kind of three quarter wetsuit on.
03:48And I thought, oh my God, it's the Prince of Wakanda.
03:51And you said that thought I loved.
03:53I said it out loud.
03:54I rarely say things that I don't, if I wouldn't say them out loud, then I don't say them.
04:02And then were you all trying to convince Hoda to maybe come back a little bit more?
