my first purchase as an adult with a real job was a down comforter and brass bed, because of sound of music and "these are a few of my favorite things"
Just a note: Wiser than Me? Bad grammar. Very bad grammar. Wiser than I. Otherwise you are saying “she is wiser than me is.” Yeah. Bad grammar. “She is wiser than I am.” Wiser than I.
Twelve minutes goes by before Sally is introduced, mostly Julia talking about herself. Which means we do not get an hour of Sally Field. We get 48 minutes. Less with the ads. 44? 42? If you like me feel short-changed, we were. Julia, I am not interested in you talking about you. I am very interested in your guests, most of whom are the same age as I am. There is wisdom in silence. There is wisdom in getting straight to the guest. ❤
We just need to find and produce "the herbs." Leave men out of it for the most part. Leave the law out of it. Just grow them like we legally grow lemon balm to calm too much cortisol. Share them, support each other with knowledge of how to use them. Stop making abortion and reproduction a huge exposed loud big pharma medical situation and big loud exposed huge legal situation. Just keep the information quietly among us and within our private circles.
I am fan of you both!! following Isabel since she started her feminist Sunday article on El Nacional and then through all her books and interviews. And follow Julia since Sinfield, Vip, Old Cristine young Cristine and yatayata!!You both toguether is a gift, thanks.
Ina is the best chef, someone you'd love to cook with, eat with, be a girlfriend with or just have a cup of tea with. So genuine!! Thanks Julia for these podcasts, they have been very enjoyable!!!
I enjoed this interview, and also Jane Fonda, Carol Burnet and Gloria Stain. My plan is to catch up with the rest interviews. I recomended your postcast to all my friends! What I most like is your conversation with your mom at the end.❤
Merch website issue: I cannot enter my state to check out and I did not find a link for a webmaster. If anyone reads this who can help, please comment, thanks! Really excited to buy a white tote :)
It was so fun to hear you talk about your Lady Di wedding dress. I, too, got married in the 80's and did a copy cat wedding dress of Lady Di's. My mom and I hand made it and I used some lace from her dress on the skirt for my something borrowed. And your adding a dolphin hidden in your dress!! We chose dolphins on our wedding bands. Definitely, style determines an era, and creates such good memories too. Love your show!!
My very good friend and I use your words, "Bird by Bird", to remind each other whenever one of us gets overwhelmed with what's in front of us. It's so nice to here your real voice and I look forward to reading more of your books. Thank you, Julia, for your amazing podcast. Loving every interview!
This interview was so different from Darlene Love but you handled both so extremely well. Fran is a thought provoking intelligent woman and interesting to listen to.
What a great intro story & tie in to DVF! You and I may have had to fight for Bobby, after all, he also sang “Jennifer” (no name change required 😉). Did you also have a hard time finding your name on the Pan Am Fly me T-shirts? The closest I could find was Jenny , my mother refused to buy it “I named you Jennifer not Jenny”. 😂
These are wonderful podcasts. Funny, informative, they help me become a better listener in my personal life and I like to laugh out loud. I take something away from each one and I've shared them with my friends and family. ❤
Love Ina Garten! Followed her for years!! My mom’s name was Ina! I also get very nervous to entertaining! I can’t believe how much my life was like hers but that was that generation!
Hear, hear! We most certainly do!!! Yes, there is an old lady in my life; me...sometimes, I don't know what to do wirh her and that is when your podcast becomes even more needed. Thank you.
These are AWESOME podcasts!! I try to learn something every day. And I have learned something from each of these women. Be yourself, things never come easy, high five yourself, take care of your health early, never fail to try and on and on!!! Thank you Julia Louise-Dreyfus and all of the women "wiser than me" 73 years young ❤
I love Bonnie and I love Julia. But I absolutely cannot stand all this GUSHING over the guests. On and on and on...."I love yoy... NO, I love you more..." this episode tears were shed- give me a break! The average grown ass woman cannot relate to this....
I didn’t know who Isabel was but how glad I am to have listened. Wiser than you is the goal, she is wiser than 99% of humanity. We are so lucky to have her in the mix while we are alive.
I'm just getting started on this one, but I have to interject... please consider visiting your local animal shelter and adopting a senior pet. There are always seniors in shelters, and they deserve lovely homes during their golden years. It's not a huge commitment, and you'll likely survive them.
Julia: I never listened to any podcasts until your Wiser Than Me series which I started listening to last week while recovering from surgery. I'd be icing and listening to your fabulous and perceptive interviews and forget the pain. Kudos to you! Finally, something very worth listening to!! As a 71 yo woman, I really relate to much of what your "interviewees" describe. Will you be doing a third season? You appear to select women who have some personal "connection" or meaning for you. In any event, I was thinking about some other potential women I'd like to hear from: Sherry Lansing; Meryl Streep; Hillary Clinton; Carol Elizabeth Moseley Braun (aka Moseley-Braun); ; Donna Karan; Grace Coddington; Agnes Gund; Lyda Hill.
Interesting fact. The scripture says don't speak guile language, but they don't say fuck or shit are guile words. We added them in. George Carlin soecifically with the 7 dirty words.
I saw Bonnie Raitt at Red Rocks with a full moon and it was her first show after COVID and she had a lot of her family there!! It did not disappoint for one minute! Other worldly!
