Well? 24 00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:15,840 I mean I had to trap a cockerroach in the kitchen this morning. What 25 00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:21,879 you know, what the fuck? Cockerroach in my kitchen? And you know 26 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,120 what they say, what if you find one? There's more? Yeah, 27 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,319 I know, I call the uh the exterminator as soon as that we used 28 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,680 to have because we just moved into this house. So I haven't seen any 29 00:02:35,759 --> 00:02:39,319 bugs at all, and there was. But see people hot though too, 30 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:44,000 It's really hot. And then people are leaving the doors open. The kids 31 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,159 leave the doors open, you know, constantly. Their friends come over and 32 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,199 they just walk in and leave the door open, and it's one hundred and 33 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,759 eighty thousand degrees and the bugs are like working up a storm out of the 34 00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:02,599 wood where there's spiders outside there there's freaking moths that are like dinosaurs. They're 35 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,719 the those daddy long legs that come in. They're huge and they're attracted to 36 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,199 the light. And so they're leaving the doors open, and I walk in 37 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,360 and out from the living room and there's the front door like wide open where 38 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:20,319 they're like the moths are coming around the world. It's like, kids closed 39 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,439 the freaking door. So now it's like I took a picture of it to 40 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:28,000 show the kids, like see what you're letting into the house. So anyway, 41 00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:30,199 it's still there. I haven't dealt with it yet. You can get 42 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:38,360 oh it's still in there. I covered it, oh no, because I 43 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,479 didn't see it until I was leaving. It was huge, and I didn't 44 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,639 see it until I was leaving, and I didn't have time to come back 45 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:47,879 in and deal with it. So I just threw a thing over it, 46 00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:53,680 tupperware, and then I pushed it to the side, oh no, into 47 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:59,000 the laundry room and closed the door so Phil can't get to it. Oh, 48 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,759 I feel like that's where Phil would really come in handy, because oh 49 00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,719 god, no, that thing was like a burrito, like a burrito in 50 00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:13,879 Antenna's. It was like, Yeah, it freaked me out. Brought me 51 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,160 up back to my memories of my childhood. Though. Oh my gosh, 52 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,839 oh my gosh. I remember in our apartment in Hollywood when I lived in 53 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:27,439 Hollywood, I mean I was nineteen. We'd moved into this apartment. It 54 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,279 already had a horrible smell. I think I told you about it. The 55 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,000 person who had lived there before, I believe was a hoarder and had a 56 00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:36,680 million cats. And it was a little apartment. It just was a two 57 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,639 bedroom, little apartment in the back of a main house. There were like 58 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,600 it's like a it was Cecil B. De Mill's old house. It's been 59 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,759 since torn down and built an apartment, but I think it was the maid's 60 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,759 quarters. But anyway, it was really really old, old building and pretty 61 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,879 gross and you know, old wood, rickety stairs to get up to the 62 00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:03,560 second floor where it was. But I remember so many times we'd walk in 63 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,319 and they you turn on the light and the cockroaches would cockroaches are like, 64 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,240 well ready for us. No, they'd be like and then they turn on 65 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,319 the lights and they're like, oh shit, moms home. And then they'd 66 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,240 scatter and we'd be like, oh my god, there are cockroaches Everywhere's terrible. 67 00:05:23,439 --> 00:05:25,959 Yeah, and they wouldn't come, like the owners of the building just 68 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,560 didn't care. God, but we so we put out traps, right, 69 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,120 Yeah, but then the traps don't work now when you're in fence. They 70 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:35,600 don't know. I mean, like if they if like you said, if 71 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:42,399 you find one these ones, I don't even know. But like there's there's 72 00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:46,519 certain different types of cockroaches because I grew up in the San Ferano Valley and 73 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,240 everybody that had a pool had cockroaches, right, And there's these ones that 74 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,800 are just like all all the time. You know, there's there's a whole 75 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,680 bunch of them. But then there's these other ones that kind of like I 76 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,879 don't know, you find once in a while, I don't know, I 77 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,199 don't know, I don't know. But but my mom would put out traps 78 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,920 and it never like they get they get wise, Like I don't know, 79 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,560 they there's never like you know, you know, you can't kill them, 80 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,480 they just keep coming back. I get wise. Yeah, they're like, 81 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:19,319 uh, I've been in that house before. I know what that they just 82 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,399 never worked. Uncle Fredo went into that one and like we never saw him 83 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:33,639 again. Yeah. Yeah, I say that because John just finished an epic 84 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:41,000 listening session of he he got, uh The Godfather on audible, so he 85 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:45,720 listened to the entire book The Godfather. Wow, the past couple of weeks. 86 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:48,279 Yeah. Nice. So he was talking in like that, yes, 87 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:54,120 and my son, you know, yeah, right right right this house, 88 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:59,560 Like but don't you ever disrespect the thing? Yeah. I was just like, 89 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,519 I don't know, I haven't seen a Godfather in a really long time. 90 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:09,000 I don't know what you're talking about, honey. Yeah. So Xander 91 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,639 just got back from his speech at date trip from sorry des Moines, from 92 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,839 Des Moines. Yes, and uh, he had a great time. It 93 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,920 was really cute that they're coming home. Flight he had to leave at like 94 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,439 their flight was at five am, so I think they had to be out 95 00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:32,600 of the well I don't know, but I'm sure they had to be at 96 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:38,160 the airport at four am. Yeah. The flight itself left at four five 97 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:42,399 five. Yeah, so you know, he slept on and off, but 98 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,920 he came home. He was super tired, but he'd had like the best 99 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,279 time had I told you? I don't think I had last week that, 100 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:58,759 So he was sending me texts. He was in these supplemental the supplemental competitions 101 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,360 basically, so the kid that he went with had qualified for nationals, and 102 00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,240 then the teacher was able to bring a couple of other kids. So one 103 00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,560 of the kids was Xander, so he got to do some competing. But 104 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,000 a lot of these kids had qualified been working on their piece for like a 105 00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:18,560 really long time. But she was like, but Xander had been doing duos, 106 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,399 so he didn't have his partner. So he had to come up with 107 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:26,079 a new event, learn the piece, figure it all out, which he 108 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,720 did. But then he was like, mom, he said, I after 109 00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:33,240 his first event, he was like, I did not do well. He's 110 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:39,279 like, I threw it basically. So he was kind of bummed, but 111 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,399 he was like, it's okay. It was a learning experience, you know. 112 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,759 And I was like, and so he had two more so the second 113 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,440 one and such a good head on his shoulders and he really does so he's 114 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,799 like, well, I have two more. So he did the second one. 115 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,799 He was like, oh my gosh, I did terrible again, and 116 00:08:56,919 --> 00:09:00,720 he's like, these kids, though I've been working on their pieces, they've 117 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,360 had months to prepare, and I just learned this like a week ago, 118 00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:07,320 you know. Then he had one more and he goes, I think I 119 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,279 did better on the third one, oh, he said, but I don't 120 00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:16,600 even think I could qualify because there basically he said that it was allowed to 121 00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:20,120 be seven minutes and his was only five minutes, and there was something with 122 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,320 the blocking that he thought he wasn't allowed to move around, but you can 123 00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:26,200 move around, so he changed some things in between. Anyway, so he's 124 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,720 like, well, I did better on the third one, but it's not 125 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:33,519 going to matter, you know. But anyway, like later that day, 126 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,960 I get this text from him. He's like, mom, I broke That 127 00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,759 means he made it from like a huge group of kids. He moved on 128 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,200 to the next part of the competition. So there were four hundred and something 129 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,159 kids in his event. Wow, and he broke to the top like one 130 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,960 hundred, one hundred and twenty kids or something. Yeah, So he was 131 00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:01,200 super excited. So that was very grad fine. He was like, I 132 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,360 guess I did better than I thought, you know. And then he saw 133 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,320 later his scores, and in those first three rounds he was voted. He 134 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,720 got first place, second place, in third place. Holy shit. So 135 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:20,559 but then then he went to this the next round and he was sixth place, 136 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,320 six out of like six. All fine, Yes, all three judges 137 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,360 scored him the lowest. But he was like, you know what, but 138 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,320 the notes were like he hadn't had his piece memorized, and he said all 139 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,080 the kids were very memorized, and he was like, it's fine. He 140 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:39,080 didn't care. He was like, it's fine. He had a great time, 141 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,600 just so much fun. He bonded with the kid that he went that 142 00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:48,879 qualified for the event the nationals, was graduated, but was like a really 143 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,360 cool kid. They totally bonded. He bonded with his teacher, his speech 144 00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:00,159 and debate teacher. The coach was like loved him really yes, was just 145 00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:03,919 like, oh my gosh, and she's really cool. You like her, 146 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:09,080 right, really cool teacher, super super fun when it's like kind of young, 147 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:13,519 has a nose piercing, is like, but like very passionate, was 148 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,320 great at speech and debate when she was in school and on her teams, 149 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,039 and yeah, I just love her. I mean, think about how far 150 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,200 he's come like he's you know, I imagine how he's gonna do next year, 151 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,559 you know. Oh yeah, She's like, I see so much potential 152 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,159 for him. Yeah for next year. Everybody starts somewhere, and yeah, 153 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:37,120 he's doing damn well for he's where he's at. Yeah. It was really 154 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,200 cute, and you know, but it's always with these kids, little little 155 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:48,120 minor complaint. But I feel like Xander reminds me a little bit of how 156 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,559 Natalia was when she was really young, where it's like, well, now 157 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,720 what, like he can't the kid cannot be bored, and a lot of 158 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,759 his friends are out of town. All of his friends, every single one 159 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:05,360 of his friends is on some trip. So he's immediately like, oh no, 160 00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:07,759 no, oh, my friends are out of town. I have nothing 161 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,399 to do. And I'm like, well I have a job. Sorry, 162 00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:16,159 like you know, but you try to go like okay, well we'll try 163 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,120 to come up with some stuff to do, but like, I don't know, 164 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,159 yeah, yeah I know. And then it's like, now I feel 165 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,279 bad because all of his friends are on trips and I didn't plan a trip, 166 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,440 right. I guess I kind of thought he'd have a job. I 167 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:30,399 thought he was going to get a job.

I hate those summers. We had 174 00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:00,399 a lot of those summers. And well, Natalia just left for Spain day 175 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,200 oh wow, okay, yeah, and I was like getting her ready for 176 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,720 that trip, and you know, I here's like the thing like I'm like, 177 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,000 you know, you have this shitty suitcase, it's time to get let's 178 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,679 let's go get another one. No, no, no, I got mine 179 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,320 in the garage. I'll use mine. I'll use mine. I'm like, 180 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,159 that thing is really really old. It could barely stand when you're when you're 181 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,360 it used to be my suitcase. So it used to kept falling over every 182 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,000 time, you know, no matter what it was like top heavy still does. 183 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,360 And so and she's got to have a weight requirement where she can't have 184 00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,360 anything more than forty Her check bag can't be more than forty four pounds. 185 00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,279 So I was like, okay, you're supposed to know. Well, that's 186 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,840 what I said. So I had to go buy a luggage scale. Yeah, 187 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,720 because I didn't want her to get screwed up at the airport, of 188 00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:52,120 course. Yeah, okay, So I went and got that. So then 189 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,320 I wanted to get her suitcase. She's like, no, I'm gonna use 190 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,000 my suit Pa, forty four pounds is not that heavy, Like I feel 191 00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:03,200 like that's too light, like you because it is. Yeah, because usually 192 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,240 she's got like fifty pounds suitcases whenever we're traveling. I put it, you 193 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,519 put it on the scale, you know, it's like fifty pounds. So 194 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,200 I'm like, you're gonna have to like you and your girlfriend are gonna have 195 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,279 to share, you know, hot tools or shampo. Yeah, that's what 196 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,200 I'm saying. I'm saying it seems like forty four pounds is not that much. 197 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720 Like you can't put pack Oh, you can't put that. You can't 198 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,279 put that much in. Yeah, I mean it by the time you're putting 199 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200 your mate, she had to take a lot of Yes, she'd takes stuff 200 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:33,799 out. So so she so, so I tell her get the new suitcase. 201 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,960 She doesn't want to do it, and then she packs and everything. 202 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,159 We weigh her suitcase and it's like forty one pounds, like okay, and 203 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,200 then she takes like her robeout, like you know, just to be safe. 204 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,399 I'm like, just take something else, like one more thing. So 205 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,480 she takes so because you might want to pack something to come home, right, 206 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:56,440 I know. So she moves things around and then we weigh it. 207 00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,879 I set it down, the thing just to send a greats. It just 208 00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:05,080 falls apart at this you know, when your suitcases has been like zipped up 209 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,840 too many times and it's like, you know, it's and then it starts 210 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,279 the other zipper starts coming apart on the other side. Yes, that's what 211 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,679 happened. And her whole suitcase just like fell apart. And we're like about 212 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,679 to go to the airport in like an hour and a half and so okay. 213 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,120 So her parents, her friend's parents that are taking her on this trip, 214 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,519 they are traveling. They went to like because her older brother's competing like 215 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:37,240 a dirt bike rider like competition or whatever. So they're going to like Switzerland 216 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:43,000 first and then they're flying to Barcelona and that's where so then Natalia got invited 217 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,240 to go with them. And the two girls are flying by themselves straight NonStop 218 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,600 to Barcelona from la and then the family will be there. When they get 219 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,000 to the airport, they'll already be there from Switzerland. They're all gonna meet 220 00:15:56,039 --> 00:16:00,639 there. So I'm taking them to the airport. So okay, So her 221 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,559 thing falls apart, I run to TJ Max, I get her another suitcase, 222 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,919 get it all together. Okay. So by then, now that she's 223 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:15,480 packed. Now I've never I've traveled international, like I think twenty years twenty 224 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:21,240 something years ago, and I remember it was NonStop, and I don't remember 225 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:25,240 like how we got to the airport or anything. But I'm taking them to 226 00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:29,600 the airport to drop them off. And they're flying some airline I never heard 227 00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:34,639 of, like a b No, Liberia Airlines. Okay, okay, And 228 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:41,559 I guess you know at terminal two or two. Yeah, Terminal two is 229 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,519 where all the international flights are out of. And so they tell, you 230 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,000 know, they say, go to terminal two. Okay. So so her 231 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,279 suitcase is put together. Now we're going to pick up her friend. And 232 00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:57,960 we're on the road and her flight leaves at seven fifty five pm in the 233 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,919 evening, and I want to get there by five. I want to drop 234 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,240 them off by five thirty so that they have plenty of time to get you 235 00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:07,160 know, through security, and have something to eat, get on the plane. 236 00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:12,119 Right. So get there to the airport, and I'm starting to panic 237 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,599 because as soon as we get off the freeway, the four or five, 238 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:22,240 it's bumper to bumper to bumper traffic. And I'm like, okay, but 239 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,240 we still have time. Like okay, we're good, We're good. Then 240 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:26,960 we get into the airport. I mean, it was I've never seen the 241 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,200 traffic this bad. It was a Sunday night at five something. Yeah, 242 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:36,240 that's such an addust sign. Yes, but I guess it's summer. I 243 00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:41,440 don't know what the hell so stopped in traffic. Then I'm like where now 244 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,720 I'm thinking, okay, I'll see signs for Terminal two and Liberia Airlines. 245 00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,759 I'm not seeing any signs for anything, because is it in the international terminal. 246 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,039 It's in the international terminal. But I didn't I didn't. I didn't 247 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:59,000 know there was one international terminal for all the airlines. I just said, 248 00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:03,480 they just said Terminal two. But I still don't see any any signs for 249 00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:07,680 anything, right, So now I'm like okay. So now I'm trying to 250 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,599 google where's Liberia Airlines at the LA ex crapa, Nothing's coming up, nothing's 251 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,680 coming up. And then there's one thing that said the address like three sixty 252 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:21,640 Airport Way or whatever. So I put on three sixty Airport Way and like 253 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,319 it spits me back out on to Century Boulevard. Oh no, this is 254 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,960 your worst nightmare. I was just gonna say, like, you're giving me 255 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:34,559 such adjective right now. Oh my god. I was like what because now 256 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:40,640 we're getting close to five thirty drop off and the traffic I gotta go back 257 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:45,279 in line and sit in took thirty minutes. So then I pull over. 258 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,079 I'm like, okay, where's Terminal B. And then like I find out, 259 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,920 okay, it's at the end of the horseshoe or whatever. You know, 260 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,880 at the top of the horseshoe is International Terminal right, So then I 261 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,960 would have been so confused because I was terminal too. You're like, but 262 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,039 Terminal two is like Southwest or whatever, right, yeah, right, No, 263 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,279 but it was Terminal B. That's what okay, okay, So okay, 264 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,519 so then I'm like, all right, now I know where I'm going, 265 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,400 and now the ways on my navigation is saying thirty minutes, which is 266 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,319 gonna put them at six o'clock now, oh no, And I'm like, 267 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,599 oh my god. And I'm like, could you imagine if they missed their 268 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:23,640 flight?

Mm hmm, okay, so what happened? So what happened? 306 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:33,839 What happened? So? So now I'm worried about getting them there on 307 00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:40,400 time, and also like because they the plane leaves at seven fifty five and 308 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,759 I don't know. I know that when I travel sometimes if you don't get 309 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:47,279 there in an hour before the flight leaves and get your bags checked. There 310 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:51,799 you can't check your bags anymore. Like yeah, so I international too, 311 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,119 it's international. It's two hours, right, So I'm trying to get there 312 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,240 now. I'm like, I wanted to get there by five thirty. The 313 00:22:57,279 --> 00:23:00,200 flight left at seven fifty five, so now I'm hoping to get there by 314 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,400 five fifty five at least. So anyway, I dropped them off at like 315 00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:10,599 five forty six, and there's still pretty early, still pretty early, two 316 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,000 hours ahead of time. Well the flight left at seven fifty five, yeah, 317 00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:18,519 but you're at it's only five forty five. Five forty five, yeah, 318 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,680 so I'm still but then they have to go. There's a huge so 319 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:25,759 I drop them off and I go, please tell me when. And by 320 00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,559 the way, still no sign for Liberia Airlines or anything. So anyway, 321 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,960 I'm like, I guess this is where you guys go. So I dropped 322 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,079 them off. Then they go inside, go tell me you know how it's 323 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,559 looking. So she's like, there's we found it and it's fine, but 324 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,559 there's a huge line to check your bags. And I'm like, oh my 325 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,160 god. So I'm like, do I drive home? Should I stay around 326 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,319 the airport? Like what should I do? And then I called, You're 327 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,480 like, are there drugs in their bags? Is this going to be? 328 00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:53,200 Are they going to be locked up abroad?

So and so I'm driving away and I'm just like sweating, 335 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,319 like are they gonna make it? And they mean, you know, 336 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,799 it's like been there, been there. And then then eventually she's like, 337 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,359 yes, we got in. And then she was like, we met a 338 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,839 family that's on the on the on the flight, they were helping us. 339 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,559 They were really nice, and so then they got through. Everything was fine. 340 00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:38,200 They got on the flight, she slept the whole time. It's like 341 00:24:38,519 --> 00:24:41,799 eleven twelve hour flight. Oh wow, yeah, it was really long. 342 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,440 And now they're there, yeah, and she's having fun. She comes home 343 00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:49,640 July first, a couple of days. Okay, so wait, so when 344 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:55,359 did they get there? Like yesterday, they got there yesterday morning, okay, 345 00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:57,680 yeah, but it was fun. Yeah, the next day their time. 346 00:24:57,759 --> 00:25:03,519 But yeah, oh she's living a dream. Oh my gosh, well, 347 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,400 Sadie, so Xander's home and already, well he went to a movie 348 00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:17,680 yesterday. But now and that friend left town is leaving town today. So 349 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,640 as of today, officially every single one of his friends. To the point 350 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,400 that I was just sitting there going, okay, let's just think, is 351 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,880 there anybody else that you hang out with? And you know, when you're 352 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,279 a kid, you have certain friends that you're comfortable with that you hang out 353 00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:33,960 with, and then you have other friends that maybe you hung out with like 354 00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:37,519 a long time ago, but they're really kind of bottom of the barrel. 355 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240 They're not they're not the first here, Like they're really like, you have 356 00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:45,240 to be pretty bored. So I mentioned a couple of people that you know, 357 00:25:45,319 --> 00:25:48,240 he hasn't seen in a really long time, and I got the look 358 00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:55,160 of just like, yeah, we'll see how bored I get. You know, 359 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,880 I was like, all right, just have him in your back pocket, 360 00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,839 like that's something you can text in case. Yeah, all else fails 361 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,519 in case you get real bored. But then I felt instant pressure to be 362 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,240 like Julie, you know from the Love Boat, like, oh, okay, 363 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,480 well, I guess we could try to plan. But also, as 364 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:18,880 I'm having eye surgery on Thursday, which I'm not saying it's not like any 365 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,759 kind of major surgery, but I'm going to be caught a little bit. 366 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,920 Also, I teach Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, so today's Tuesday, right, 367 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,039 so like I'm kind of out today, I'm working here, then I teach 368 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,359 tonight, then tomorrow. I guess I could do something with him during the 369 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,599 day, but you know when all of a sudden, you're like, he 370 00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,400 used to go to school every day? Yeah, I know, Like now 371 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:47,119 you're like, now what now you're bored. I don't know what happened to 372 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,920 that. They didn't want to They didn't want to go to the camp like 373 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,480 LB used to go to. No, They've never neither one of them has 374 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:59,000 ever been interested. Sadie went to Camp Hollywoodland one year, which is a 375 00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:03,160 four day they go. They go there on Monday, they come home on 376 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,799 Friday, so they stay over Monday night, Tuesday, Wednesday night, Thursday 377 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,920 night. One of those days they take a big trip like they I think 378 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:15,200 There's was Disneyland. She was absolutely miserable the whole time. Yeah, she 379 00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:18,160 went with her friend, but she like, you know, I sent her 380 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,799 with spending money, but she lost. They gave her her envelope with her 381 00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,599 spending money and she left it on her lunch tray or breakfast tray, so 382 00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:30,440 she had no money. At Disneyland, it was really hot, you know, 383 00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:33,759 she didn't want to go on any fast rides. So the day that 384 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,000 was supposed to be kind of a restspit from the camp life was like a 385 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,640 terrible day for her. She couldn't wait to get home. Yeah. Meanwhile, 386 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:48,759 that year we had record heat, so literally the day they were coming 387 00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:52,400 home, it was one hundred and twenty one degrees. Also, they had 388 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,119 no AC, so it was in Hollywood, which is slightly cooler than the 389 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,720 valley, right, but I mean just oppressive, oppressive heat. And our 390 00:28:00,799 --> 00:28:04,160 AC went out, oh for that story, and I was crying because to 391 00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:07,759 our AC guy because he was like I can't, like I can't just fix 392 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:14,400 the motor. You need a new something, brand new. And then I 393 00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:15,279 was crying because I was like, well, we're going to have to go 394 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,039 sleep in a hotel because our dog is not going to be able to withstand 395 00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:22,680 the heat. That's right, Yeah, even with fans, you know. 396 00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:27,240 So then he was like, okay, I'm just going to fix the motor. 397 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,680 Basically it was like a band aid action, which he's like, I'm 398 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,559 just going to fix that for free and then I'll be able to fix it 399 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,279 on. He was fixing the ac on the day that it was going to 400 00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:44,839 be one hundred and twenty one degrees Jesus Christ. So basically the fix was 401 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,920 done. But when we went to go pick up the kids, like the 402 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,240 house was finally just starting to cool down again. So when when we got 403 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:53,680 them home, it was like ninety degrees in the house. Yeah, you 404 00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:59,200 know. Yeah, so it was like welcome home, Welcome home. God. 405 00:28:59,559 --> 00:29:03,440 I mean, it brings back my childhood because like we I grew up 406 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,440 in the San Fernando Valley with no air conditioning and we had the freaking we 407 00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:15,079 had a window in our living room that was stained glass yellow, which it 408 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,160 has to be the most depressing color and the worst color for a house with 409 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,960 no air conditioning in the valley, in the West Valley where it's the hottest 410 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,480 and I just remember, like no air conditioning. We had a swamp cooler 411 00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:34,559 in the like living room area, and and that those are those are such 412 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,759 shit because it was like the swamp cooler had pads that you had to keep 413 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,799 like obviously there was supposed to be a wet like a water thing to the 414 00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:48,359 pads to to keep them cool. The pads cool, so it would blow 415 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,119 cold air. Do you know what I'm talking about? Kind of, but 416 00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:56,119 I'm but I'm wondering, Like our house had a swamp cooler on the roof, 417 00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:59,519 so this was in your living room. This was a in the wall 418 00:29:59,599 --> 00:30:03,119 in our living room. Okay, but it was because I guess, I 419 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,960 don't know, because we bought the house I was seven years old, but 420 00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:11,240 I guess it was supposed to be able to have a cooling system to keep 421 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:15,680 the pads cool, you know. So but then that burnt out and my 422 00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,400 parents never fixed it. So instead my mom would get the hose out and 423 00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:22,880 just hose the pads down, and so it would be cold air for about 424 00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:27,920 five seconds and then it would go hot again, like it would just blow 425 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,359 hot air. It was the most miserable feeling. The summertime was the worst 426 00:30:33,519 --> 00:30:37,279 in my house and then you combined with the cockerroaches. You must have just 427 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,359 dreaded. Oh I hated summer months. Yeah, I just would. Luckily 428 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,839 we had to leave. Well, we had a pool, I know, 429 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:48,759 it was off. Well, there was the front of my house. In 430 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,759 my bedroom, I had a window and we put a fan at the window 431 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,680 to blow in the cold air, so at night it would kind of cool 432 00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:02,079 off, but not really, but it would blow that air and I would 433 00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:03,880 just got used to it. I would take towels and wet them and put 434 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,799 them in the freezer and then just lay them on me while I went would 435 00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:12,200 fall asleep and have the air and the fan blow on me. And poor 436 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,240 Suzanne had on when she was she would have to spend the night in my 437 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:21,079 room and sleep on the on the matter like right, the sofa cushions from 438 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:23,839 the you know. And it was so hot. But all my friends had 439 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,400 air conditioning. My stupid family never, and they wouldn't lay sleep over. 440 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,440 They wouldn't let me sleep over anybody's house. No, no, oh my 441 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,160 god, that was awful. It was brutal. Yeah, yeah, I 442 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,119 mean it's been I don't know. Yeah, So answer to your question, 443 00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:45,359 my kids they don't like to go to camp, right, and now it's 444 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,799 kind of too late. Yeah, they're too old to like start going to 445 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,279 camp, I think. So Sadie is so bored. We did schedule her 446 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:59,000 driver's license up. She has the driver's licens appointment. It's July eighth. 447 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,720 But I I've gotten worse. I was relating to our guest who you guys 448 00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:07,880 will hear Thursday, talking about her anxiety, because I'm like, listen, 449 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,920 it's it's definitely getting worse as I get older. But like the driving I 450 00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:16,960 drove with her, So I came up with this idea. Did I tell 451 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,920 you this last week? That I would have elbow drive with her and I 452 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,000 would be in the backseat reading. Yeah, which kind of worked the first 453 00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:28,359 time we did it, but we went again and it was a nightmare. 454 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:35,359 It was even Elbe was like, oh my god, Sadie like because and 455 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,000 this is the most compliant. Sadie is like very very sweet and very very 456 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:45,599 agreeable, a non complainer somehow, like behind the wheel, though she gets 457 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,920 a little defensive about it, like if you go like, but also I 458 00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:53,480 kind of lose my mind unfairly, Like she pulls out onto our street and 459 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,680 she speeds up to like forty five miles per hour, which I'm just like, 460 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,960 what are you doing? We were, but you're going to a red 461 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:05,640 light, like it's it's one long block, right, and it's a residential 462 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,920 neighborhood. Like the speed limit is of course, like thirty five, but 463 00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:13,279 like what I'm like, why are you driving forty five months? What are 464 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:17,119 you doing? But obviously that's not helpful to like freak out, you know, 465 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,920 and I should have just been like slow down, you know, but 466 00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:22,759 I don't. I like freak out, and then I'm like, okay, 467 00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:25,599 this is why Elbe's in the front seat, so I need to you know. 468 00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:28,880 And then Elbi will be like, mom, don't worry, I got 469 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,519 it, you know. But then LB two was like you're gonna be turning 470 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:38,200 here. So like anyway, every every second of driving with Sadie for me, 471 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:45,000 is like a jump scare. Like it's just a constant like okay, 472 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,240 okay, well where'd that car come from? I thought you were reading your 473 00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:52,640 book. I was trying to. But it's like but it's like a constant. 474 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,880 But when Elby's seeming a little bit alarmed and going with Sadie, Sadie, 475 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,000 you know, then I look up and I'm like, oh no, 476 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,039 there's a car. Oh my god, break lights. You know, it's 477 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,320 just it's really terrible. So I made a executive decision, which is that 478 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,519 John will be the only one to drive with her. Every time John drives 479 00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:14,039 with her, she's like, yeah, it was totally fine. Like, 480 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,119 well, I don't know. Maybe it's maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just 481 00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:22,199 a nightmare passenger, right, I think that could be the problem. I 482 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,760 may, I may me have to agree with that. I know I can't. 483 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,440 I literally I can't help it. But I will tell you more about 484 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,599 that in a moment. Let's talk about Honeylove. I love me some honeylove. 485 00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:38,199 First of all, we need listen. I don't know if it's an 486 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,039 age thing, but like I need shapewear. Yes, I got to keep 487 00:34:43,639 --> 00:34:45,400 like the side boob, I got the butt, like, I got to 488 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,039 keep things rained in, especially for certain outfits. Yeah, but I also 489 00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,519 don't want to feel like my body parts are in jail. I agree. 490 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:59,920 And you know, I actually found Honeylove when it was summertime because I wanted 491 00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:01,880 something nice, like when you know, when you wear those tank tops or 492 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:07,119 those loose t shirts where you can see the bra I wanted something that was 493 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,880 slimming and cute and but like kept everything like the side boobin and stuff like 494 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,679 that. And I found Honeylove before they were even our sponsors. Yeah, 495 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:22,840 yeah, so you know, you already know it's great. It's breathable. 496 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,559 They have little panels in the briefs so that you can pee, you know, 497 00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:30,920 without having to like bring a scissors with you.

H Okay, 508 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:22,320 I'm getting really anxious about that cockroachim my kids. Okay, I have 509 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,679 any funny little story for you, Yeah, okay. I was debating whether 510 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,679 to tell it on today's episode or Fridays, but I'll just tell you right 511 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:36,320 now, okay, Okay. So the other day I went to a It 512 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:42,199 was like a little event at a bookstore with some authors. Okay, so 513 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,880 it doesn't really really matter, but it was just a little daytime fun thing 514 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:51,760 and I didn't know a single person. It was just like a butt and 515 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,480 so I had to put on a name tag and then we went around the 516 00:36:54,559 --> 00:37:00,199 room and everybody like introduced themselves. So one of the women wrote a book 517 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,199 about being an assistant, and she was like, oh, by the way, 518 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:12,239 I brought with me. This is the actress Lolita Davidovitch, who's yeah, 519 00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:15,039 And she was like, she was this very famous for a while, 520 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:21,559 redheaded actress. She was in a big movie. She was she was in 521 00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:24,719 a big movie with Richard Gear. She was the start intersection. But she 522 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,039 had another movie that was even bigger role for her. But she had a 523 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:36,199 she had a moment. Okay, well, I so anyway, yeah, 524 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,760 so you can picture her. She was a total starlet, you know. 525 00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:43,960 So I'm trying to decide what order to tell this, and so anyway, 526 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,960 we all go outside to get our picture taken. And I drove Lolita Davidovitch 527 00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:52,760 in a limo years before, and like wrote a story about her, how 528 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:58,760 nice she was and what a good tipper she was. So I so I'm 529 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,639 standing out or getting the pictures taken, and she happens to be right next 530 00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:06,119 to me. So I was like, by the way, I said, 531 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,760 Hi, I'm Stephanie, and you know, I was one of the authors, 532 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:14,280 so it wasn't like totally yeah out of pocket, because you know, 533 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,000 I had just introduced myself in my books. So she was like looking at 534 00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:22,599 me, and I was like, I drove a limo when I was in 535 00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:24,679 my twenties, I said, And now I'm in my fifties, I said, 536 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,760 and you were one of my I only did it for six weeks, 537 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,199 and you were one of my celebrity people that I drove around. And I 538 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:37,239 was like really excited and like like I was saying, how nice you are. 539 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,159 And I wrote a story about it in one of my books. And 540 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,159 she was like, oh, my gosh, like she was super nice. 541 00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:50,719 While I'm talking to her, I realize that she was not nice, and 542 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,320 I had forgotten. I was confusing her with Nastasha Kinski was really nice and 543 00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,119 I almost said, yeah, like you were married to Quincy Jones. Oh 544 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,800 that person, different person. I did drive Lolia Davidovich in my limo. 545 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,320 That part was true. But she was a total cous and the story that 546 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,079 I told about her for years was it. She was one of the worst. 547 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,840 Like I remember picking her up. She was a total diva. She 548 00:39:16,119 --> 00:39:21,199 was you. We had car phones in those days, but they were like 549 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,440 a big deal and only certain people were allowed to use the car phone. 550 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,960 And she picked up the car phone and started using it. And I was 551 00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:31,199 brand new at the job. It was like one of my very first times 552 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,880 not shadowing another limo driver. I was in charge, and I knew I 553 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,840 was going to be fined for it. If people are not given permission, 554 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:45,599 only really big stars, so they're just people that the studio hired a car 555 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,960 for and they're not a big star. They'll tell you ahead of time. 556 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,400 This person does not have access to the phone, so she just picks it 557 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:57,039 up and she's like kind of talking in like like you know, the like 558 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,519 a Madonna accent, like a little British, you know, and she's like 559 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:06,360 hello, mommy, you know, and and I was like, you're not 560 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,079 supposed to use the phone, and she just was like it's fine and continued 561 00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:14,519 using the phone. Well, like I said, I had already said I 562 00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:16,920 wrote about you in my book and said all nice things, and I'm like, 563 00:40:17,519 --> 00:40:22,039 you know that feel like I had the almost chills where I was like, 564 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:29,760 oh fuck, like please don't let her actually read the book right away. 565 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,599 Like now I got to hope. I almost did this on Patreon, 566 00:40:32,199 --> 00:40:37,199 but then I was like, I'm ever going to run into Minovitch again. 567 00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:39,880 Also, I'm sure she's a totally lovely person now, like she was a 568 00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:45,440 like the hot she was a hot young star at the time, so I'm 569 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,199 sure we can all forgive her behavior back then. She couldn't have been lovely 570 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,320 or talking to her. But I was like, oh no, no, 571 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,199 no, no, no, like don't And then she was, of course 572 00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:00,639 like I'm going to look up your book, you know, but I'm hoping, 573 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,239 like listen, she'd have to really dig to find because that was in 574 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,440 one of my books where I wrote essays that was in either I think that 575 00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:13,320 was in I'm kind of a big deal had the limo driving story. So 576 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,880 hopefully she's not going to go, oh my gosh, Stephanie Wilder Taylor. 577 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,320 Let me look up all her books and dig for the one that she told 578 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,960 this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did also then tell her. 579 00:41:23,079 --> 00:41:27,000 I was like, yeah, a couple of people were real assholes that I 580 00:41:27,159 --> 00:41:30,480 drove. I said, like, I told a bad story about Justine Babe. 581 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,440 Yeah, so I kind of told her a little like, I mean, 582 00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:37,320 super short. I was like, yeah, Justine Bateman was like I 583 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,559 was really excited to meet her, and then she was very disappointing. She 584 00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:45,000 was mean and she was and Lolita was like, oh yeah, I can 585 00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:46,840 imagine. Yeah, Oh, I'm so glad you had good memories of me. 586 00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:51,119 And she was like, I feel like I even recognize your voice. 587 00:41:51,199 --> 00:41:53,280 I'm like, I'm sure you don't. I'm sure you don't. And I 588 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:57,400 did not tell her I have a podcast, so good, good god. 589 00:41:58,039 --> 00:42:00,960 Yeah, I'm sure she's not that interested in my life. But you know, 590 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,039 it was like so awkward when I realized, oh no, I shit 591 00:42:05,159 --> 00:42:08,079 talked her. She was the worst. So she was that, so she 592 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,119 was one of the worst. So it was Justine Bateman was like kind of 593 00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:16,239 the focus of that essay because I told a whole It was basically that a 594 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:21,239 few because I drove Chevy Chase, who a lot of people had terrible things 595 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,360 to say, and he couldn't have been nicer. He was my first I 596 00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:30,320 was shadowing another driver who was chevy Chase's regular driver, and chevy Chase was 597 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,360 it was during the time that people were saying that he was like an alcoholic 598 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,920 and a drug addict and really mean, and he just couldn't have been lovelier, 599 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,679 super funny. He was like a great tipper and he was just telling 600 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,880 us stories and just like really nice. So I was like, well, 601 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,639 people are wrong. And then Nastasha Kinski I drove and she was very famous 602 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:58,239 for having taken the picture of her with the huge snake. She's that model. 603 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,800 Yeah, so she was. I was like, oh my god, 604 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,639 Nastasha Kinsky, I know, I know who she is married to Quincy Jones. 605 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,400 Very quiet, lovely, great tipper. Then Justine Bateman was terrible. 606 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:15,760 But then Lolita and Justin Bateman were my bad examples in there. Those were 607 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,239 probably the only celebrities. I even drove because then I quit the job. 608 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,360 But was it like for the studios that you think. So it was for 609 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:30,000 this company called BLS, which primarily drove for studios. But it was just 610 00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:36,360 a terrible, terrible job. And it was all these like old, kind 611 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:40,280 of crusty drivers, and I just thought, this is going to be super 612 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,000 fun, like I'm going to be young and cute, and I'm going to 613 00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:47,440 wear like a little like chauffeur's cap and everybody's gonna love me and I'm gonna 614 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:52,599 get big tips. And I was like a lot of pulling over having anxiety 615 00:43:52,679 --> 00:43:57,119 because you had to look everything up in a TOS night and now I was 616 00:43:57,199 --> 00:44:00,960 gonna say, there's no about trying to drive up into the Hollywood Hills and 617 00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:06,480 align people's houses. And then you're like you've got your Thomas Guy to open 618 00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:09,679 and then and then sometimes I would be like, okay, I would have 619 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,880 figured out the route ahead of time. But then you get up to a 620 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,639 certain part where you pull over to try to find like I'm lost, and 621 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:22,639 the frickin' page is not in the Thomas Guide. It's missing, like and 622 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,679 You're like, I gotta go buy a new Thomas Guide. By the time 623 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,440 I was like late, I'm like, this is not the job for me. 624 00:44:29,639 --> 00:44:34,760 It's terrible. And you would get paid thirteen dollars an hour, okay, 625 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:39,360 plus tips. So it with a two hour minimum, So you're basically 626 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,599 making for two hours with the person in your car twenty six dollars. Well 627 00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:47,440 that doesn't include the time to drive to the airport wait for their flight, 628 00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:52,440 only the time that they're in your car. Are you getting paid thirteen dollars 629 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,000 an hour now when you're like waiting, No, none of it, none 630 00:44:55,079 --> 00:44:59,440 of it. So I would sometimes I made like for a week for a 631 00:44:59,519 --> 00:45:04,280 paycheck, I made like like fifty bucks. But yet it was a full 632 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,000 time job. You're all day long. Oh I remember parked at an airport. 633 00:45:08,119 --> 00:45:13,480 I read the entire book waiting to exhale that book. Read the entire 634 00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:16,960 book, like waiting to get another client and not making any money. So 635 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,079 it was a terrible job. Yeah, but I could see where you were 636 00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:22,199 coming from, like, ah, this is gonna be fun. You'll meet 637 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,239 people, Oh, celebrities. Somebody is going to want me to be their 638 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,800 personal assistantry, Like you know, they're going to get one load of my 639 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,199 personality. Skills and they're gonna be like, you need to come work for 640 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:37,000 me, Like I get rid of that happened? Oh god, Yeah, 641 00:45:37,199 --> 00:45:42,599 I just hated driving back then with the Thomas Guide. Yeah, I just 642 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,960 thought I wanted a job that was a break from waiting tables. I was 643 00:45:46,159 --> 00:45:52,280 waiting tables was just getting so old. Yeah. So I was just looking 644 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,599 in like the classifieds or whatever, the craigslist, you know, and it 645 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,559 said, do you have a clean driving record, you know, come drive 646 00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:05,199 for this limo company. And I'm like, I have a clean driving record. 647 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,239 I don't mind driving listen to the radio. Yeah. So I went 648 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:14,039 in and it was maybe one of my worst jobs, but it made for 649 00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:20,679 some good stories and hopefully Lolita Davidovich doesn't listen to podcast episode. Yeah, 650 00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:23,199 well we forgot to say hi to our peeps. Oh my gosh, we 651 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:31,559 sure did.
