0:00

Hey, everyone. I don't mean to be rude and

0:02

interrupt the news, but we've got,

0:04

like, a big star just wave Even Mendez.

0:06

Yeah. feel free to take over. She's

0:08

waiting. Everyone must get her on. Come on.

0:11

Eve Mendez is doing the

0:13

McDonald's Mc Happy Day thing tomorrow. She's

0:16

right now at Ronald McDonald's house

0:18

isn't this lovely. Some people get involved

0:20

with these charities and they show up on the day

0:22

or they get a photo taken there's over

0:24

down there at the house with the

0:26

kids. Okay. Last year, we had you on and you

0:28

were doing it all on Zoom because of the pandemic.

0:31

This year, you're hearing the flesh

0:33

here at McDonald's tomorrow. You're at

0:35

the house today. Good morning. Good

0:37

morning. We look lovely. You're

0:39

having fun down there because when I'm down there with the

0:41

kids, it's it's a weird feeling

0:43

because you walk in. You think, oh, there's all these sick kids

0:46

and you see how joyous

0:48

these children are and they're so ill

0:50

some of these kids. It makes you heartbreak,

0:53

but they're they're having the best time

0:55

of their lives so far

0:57

and seeing faces like yours, it just

0:59

must Must brighten their day, I feel.

1:01

Well, thank you for that. But yeah, when you're

1:04

when you're actually here physically with the children

1:06

and their families, you see how important

1:08

this organization is because it's about

1:11

keeping families together. And I

1:13

am a firm believer in in any situation.

1:15

You try to keep the family together. I'm here

1:17

with my family. As

1:20

we speak, my my man is filming

1:23

a movie and I have my two little girls

1:25

with us or two little girls, but I'm

1:27

I'm obviously in situations like

1:29

this, where you have an ill child

1:31

undergoing treatment, you

1:34

must have family together. And I know this

1:36

From personal reasons, my my cousin,

1:39

her baby, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma

1:42

when he was only one. Mhmm. He's

1:44

he's eight now, and and thank God, he he's

1:46

okay. He's in remission, and for two

1:48

years now. But she

1:50

relied on Ronald McDonald's house charities

1:53

for five years, and

1:55

they really were a huge

1:58

instrumental part in their healing.

1:59

Yeah. Keeping their family together is a

2:02

providing Court Group. Yeah.

2:04

So that people don't realize because, you know, you

2:06

don't think about these things until you've been

2:09

impacted like you have with your family.

2:11

And and when you're there, you have

2:13

to be close to these kids. They want you

2:15

close. You wanna be close to them. It

2:17

it's the toughest period that a lot of people

2:19

will ever go through in their life. And

2:22

I really thank the Ronald Mcdonald. Ronald

2:24

himself. You don't see much of Ronald these

2:26

days. A bit of a request. I know. I saw him

2:28

out on the bench. actually

2:29

saw him out in the bench, but he didn't say much.

2:31

No.

2:31

Whatever. So

2:34

and isn't it nice? So I love that you'd

2:36

travel with your family and you pop

2:38

around, you do what needs to be done. I see your

2:41

your is it your husband? Are you too even

2:43

married? What's the story there? The secret. I

2:45

was in secret. I apologize. The rumor

2:47

that you guys might have secretly tied

2:49

the naughty. Did you or not? But who says

2:51

we weren't already? I just I like

2:53

to keep it all mysterious.

2:54

I like that too. Very mysterious woman.

2:56

I do have a I did I did

2:59

have a I do have a tattoo.

3:02

It's just a press on. It's just a press on.

3:04

Little press on tattoo. I like

3:05

that. No. It's not a press on, but I got it

3:07

years ago, but I just I I posted

3:09

a picture and I I I've gotten a

3:12

lot of

3:12

funny questions. Is it important that,

3:15

like, with the families all staying together,

3:17

have you found that that has made

3:19

life easier? Because a lot of these movie starts

3:21

hard or TV stars. They whip off

3:23

the gone for months at a time living in these

3:25

little Caravans filming movies. There

3:27

would be a lot of connect. I I like

3:29

what you've done. It's very similar to like -- Thank you. --

3:32

Nicole and Keith, they travel around as

3:34

a family unit together. They do

3:36

a lot they've got a rule. They don't they don't separate

3:38

for longer than ten days. I

3:40

think that's really important. I

3:42

don't separate from him for longer than ten

3:44

hours. Well, I love kids. Ten

3:47

days, it's ten hours. No.

3:48

Yeah. I just think, you know, and and

3:50

we were fortunate enough to homeschool. So

3:52

right now, they're taking in

3:54

Sydney, and hopefully will take in

3:56

Australia. I've traveled Australia before,

3:59

so it's one of my favorite places in the world.

4:01

It's just there's everything here. Well, I still

4:03

want to make sure. You're in my neck of the woods

4:05

not long ago for Halloween, over in Bondi.

4:08

We Oh, yeah. You guys did it right, by the

4:10

way. Oh, did we know what? I was a

4:12

big thing here, but it's been growing every

4:14

year. Did you guys did the kids love it?

4:16

Loved it. And I was super impressed.

4:18

There was, like, a late I'd love her

4:20

so much. She was, like, literally

4:22

just she had a long, like, tube thing

4:24

and she was just throwing candy from her,

4:26

like, the up her level of her house and

4:28

the kids were like, yeah.

4:29

It was like an old witch up there throwing candy at

4:31

the studio. amazing. Your

4:34

words not mine. Yeah. But in America, everything's

4:36

like the a slutty nurse or the slutty

4:38

vampire here. We're just still very traditional,

4:40

whichy, ghosty. We're not doing the

4:42

slutty. It's because we're very behind the times with it.

4:44

We're only just catching up. So everyone takes care of

4:46

it seriously. I like it too traditional. It's

4:48

much better for the children. You don't want the children

4:50

getting around in slutty outfits. That's

4:52

a no go, I feel. Of

4:54

course not. Kyle's a new dad. Are

4:56

you a new dad? Yeah.

4:57
