I pay for that. They too, they're cheap. Way to advertise
your Dylan to give us a shout out, We'll pay him. Oh my
god, that's a great idea. Yeah, why not. Yeah, let's
get some advertising. I know, let's be like business people. Yeah,
let's put some you know, money behind us. You got to spend money
to make money. That's right. Ask James baby Doll Dixon what I feel
like. I was just gonna tell you something. Yeah, are okay,
we have to talk about quiet on the set. Yeah, but one side
note the traders on Peacock, which is what got me started on the other
end. Okay, have you seen it? I have not seen it.
It's great. It's the second season now. It's hosted by Alan Cummings,
who's fantastic. Okay, you know what it is. It's like all these
realities to sew up your alley. All these reality stars come together and they're
like in a castle in like Scotland, and they're you know, they're like
from Big Brother Survivor, they're from the Bachelor, they're from Bachelor in Paradise.
They're like, you know, like and then you see them, you
go, oh my god, I remember her from blah blah blah. There's
a bachelor. What's his name, Peter Pilot Pete. Yeah, he looks
like the other Bachelor Nick. Why does everybody look alike on the Bachelor?
He looks like the other white boy Nick Vile, veil vile. They look
alike. Anyway, they come together at this castle and Alan Cummings greets them
and it's very dramatic and they sit at a round table and then he picks
like two or three. See I'm only watching season two. I didn't see
the first season. He picks like two traders, so they call them faithfuls.
And then there's like two traders. So he picked Phaedra. I'm not
gonna give anything away, but if you watch the first episode, he picks
Phaedra and Dan from Big Brother. Okay, So they meet with a cloak
and they sleep at the castle and they meet in midnight and they pick somebody
to murder, okay, and then they go like, okay, we don't
want Peter Pilot Pete. Let's murder him. So they'll like give him an
envelope and then they show Peter like, you know, he could be an
envelope inviting him to be a trader, because sometimes they can invite other people,
or he reads the letter and he's like, you're murdered and then he's
gone. He's gone. So people have to figure out who the trader is.
Oh, so they don't say at the beginning who the trader is?
No, but does the audience know the audience does we're in on it,
okay, but they're not. They don't know who the trader is, okay,
So everybody has to play it cool and everybody thinks they know everything.
And but then they start fighting like you're a trader and like no, I'm
not, and you're like, he's not a trader. He's telling the truth.
You know. It's great, And then they have to do challenges.
You know, there was one gross challenge, but to add money to the
pot. So they have to collectively work together so there's more money for the
end prize. But they also do you get murdered off? But then they
do roundtable meeting at the end of the day and they'll have a debate and
they'll go, well, Stephanie was acting pretty shifty today. She didn't really
go for the gold metal that you know that can keep you safe. You
know, there's all always something that you're excluded from getting murdered. That night,
well, she didn't seem like she really wanted that medal. So I
think you're a trader, and you'll be like, now, I'm not a
trader. I think you're a trader. And they start arguing and then they
pick. Then they all vote at they talk for like ten fifty minutes.
Then Alan Cummings comes in. It's like, okay, it's time to vote
who you want to banish and they'll vote. Now they'll be like and then
I plagued by case like Stephanie, I think you're a trader, and let's
say you're not, and everybody's like, yeah, I think Stephanie. Say
you write your name down, so like Survivor, a little bit like Survivor,
and then all the vote, whoever gets the most votes gets banished.
Then they're gone. But the best part is, like you'll you're trying to
get the traders out before the traders get you out. Yes, yes,
yes, before the traders. If everybody gets both the traders out, then
they split the cash. You know, if there's what down to one trader,
which it was then that trader can invite. Then that trader can invite
somebody to be a trader with them. But what happens is what happens is
they send the letter and they say, you know, there was what I
don't want to give it away, but there was one person that was so
loyal because he wasn't a trader and he got people to like be on his
side. And then the traders were like, well, we want him because
he's causing trouble and he's starting to figure it out to be a trader.
And he was like, no, I don't want to be a trader.
I'm staying with the faithfuls. I was like, what isn't he going to
tell people no because he doesn't know the name, you don't know who the
trade that you just get a letter, you know, it says traders are
asking if you want to join them, and he's like no. Then Kate
from below deck. Then there was another thing and they wanted the traders wanted
Kate, and it was then there was another They gave her the choice like
either joined to be a trader or you're banished. You're gone, you get
murdered tonight. Okay, so she's like, well, I guess I don't
have a choice. She's hilarious, so anyway she becomes a trader. Anyway,
it's it. And then like so Stephanie, you get banished, you
get to say stand up and go good try everybody. But I was not
a trader. I was. I was a faithful you know. And then
they go, oh my god, we got somebody out that isn't a trader,
and then everybody feels bad. Traders can get everybody out, Like how
do you win the money? I don't know how that happened, so ravel
and Stany, I don't know. It's just all you know. At the
end. Yeah, so either the traders, I guess win or the faithfuls
win, you know. R it's it. But like throughout the show,
you add more money to the pot than there was this one challenge, like
they were like at this house and it was like a house in the forest
and they had to it was like an escape room. They locked them in
and at first it was fine, but then the lights started going on and
off, and then they had to go down tunnels and then they're dropping like
worms and spiders ew and like Phaedra and Phaedra and the other housewife from Miami,
Laura or whatever. They there was a safe word, like they said,
if you say this word, will let you out of the house.
And they were like, you know, like hell, get me out,
you know, and they let them out. They're like and there was like
spiders and it was but but not, it's not like that. It's not
like a Fear Factor show or anything like that. That was just one challenge.
I was kind of freaky. But anyway, it's fantastic. It's a
lot of drama. It's really like it's keeping me on my edge of my
seat, you know, because you're in on it and they don't know,
like these people are trying to figure everything out. You're right. No,
you're wrong, you're wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. You
know. It's good. Okay. Yeah, so that's on Peacock as well.
That's on Peacock. We should be hosted by Peacock. We should call
them. You're getting a lot of free advertising. I know it's enough already.
And then Andy Collen hosts the reunion at the end. I didn't even
know that. Oh really, yeah, he hosts the reunion show I'm I'm
like three episodes away from the ending, okay of season two of season two,
you already watched season one or I'm gonna watch season one now, but
I never I've never watched it before. The problem, the only problem for
me, if if I'm being honest, is that I don't know a lot
of Like I watched only a couple of reality shows. So I'm not gonna
like, I'll know who Phaedra is, but like I'm not all know who
pilot Pete is. But I'm not going to people from other I know.
It's like that for about them. I don't watch now, duck, I
don't watch any It's any It's like sorry, it's like any reality show,
Like you watch a couple of and then you're like, okay, I know
you start to like the person because yeah, there's a lot of there's a
people. I don't know who this person is from Big Brother. I've only
watched like a couple of seasons. For this person from The Challenge, I
don't know what what that even is, right, you know, But but
you get to like them, you know. It is a lot of Bravo,
a lot of Bravo people, a lot of Housewives. You know what,
I swear to God. You never last time we were podcasting, you
left to go deal with Phil because Phil hadd he some brownies and we never
found out like that was like a cliffhanger. That's right, what happened been
spoiler alert. Phil's fine, He's still alive. Sonny was home at lunch
and just so I got remember I was saying, I got ja, had
to get Jody to call Sonny and right, and then they took Phil to
the vet. Sonny drove Phil to the vet, took him there, dropped
him off. They pumped him his stoday did Yeah, he pumped his stomach
just to be safe. And he was there for a couple hours and then
he came home. What does it cost to have your dog's stomach pumped?
Like three and eighty bucks? That's it, yeah, isn't it? Do
They have to put him out to do and he wasn't there over He was
only there for like three hours. He got an ivy. Doesn't sound too
bad for that. Yeah, but they have to put him to sleep,
to do that times a couple times a year and get switch to ching ching.
No, I don't think they put him to sleep I don't ask the
gory details. I mean, yeah, but they felt it was necessary to
pump his stomach just to be you know how they are. And that's you
know, like to be on the safe side. We'll get you know,
chi ching. We'll give them this and make them throw up change jing.
Then we give them an ivy, you know, like with ivy exactly,
and then and then we'll give them another IVY around the fluentes later and then
you can come home. And then we'll give them some medication right to take
the stomach to change jing. Yeah, and here's some like doggy treats that
are good for him to jink, some probiotics to jing jing. Yes,
that's how it goes. Yeah, Oh my god, are expensive? Yes,
getting him his puppy insurance though, that's for sure. Yeah. I
mean, you know, Penelope insurance keeps going up. It's kind of like
people where they're like, well, your dog is getting older, so like
more shit's gonna start going sideways, so like we need more money from you.
And I'm like, I I've been paying. We've been paying monthly a
good since she was a baby, right, and like now she's old and
I don't you know, listen, if you have a dog that's like people
that minds her own business and isn't eating shit left and right right, I
don't know. But for somebody like Phil who needs a muzzle when he's left
alone, yes, I get it, you know. But then they're also
like there's so many things they don't cover. It's just annoying. It's like
any insurance. It's like, oh, no, we don't cover the teeth
vet. Yeah, we don't cover teeth. We don't cover that. It's
like, okay, what do you cover I don't know, not much fish.
And then it's like, well that's covered, well, so eighty percent,
we'll cover eighty percent, but you have a five hundred dollars deductible.
We met first, and then you know, yeah, it's just like hitching
I know the vet. You know, oh, we don't cover this medication
because it's not clinically necessary. It's like, right, okay, all right,
thanks, yeah, you fine, yeah, thanks for asking. Yeah,
yeah, well that's good. Okay, I'm glad he's fine. And
nothing nothing new arose this week. No, he did poop black poo though
he did, yeah, after the thing, but they said, you know,
it's probably medication. Right, right, So Penelope is still on the
medication from her giardia or whatever, right, Yeah, she's still having to
take the last pill like twice a day. What was So we were supposed
to give her a bath. We had this powder that we put on our
food, and then after day three it says give her a bath, and
then after day five give her a bath. So after day four we gave
her a bath because I don't know, I was out somewhere, and then
we gave her the last thing and then we were like, yeah, I
know they always do that and then go bring her back into we I'm like,
yeah, see you later. I mean, come exactly, we're supposed
to get another poop. Yeah, then they want a stool sample. Bring
the stool sample, and I ain't doing that. I may do that because
it doesn't involve bringing her back in. It's like I might just go,
like just to be sure it's cleared out of her system. But I mean,
she's acting fine and poop's not black. Like Phil's doing a burnouts in
the backyard. Every gets in the pool, you know, he's fine.
Yeah. I saw somebody wrote on Facebook to you about or maybe I don't
know about how it's totally fine for Phil to be swimming in the pool even
if it's freezing. That labs are kind of laid. I think I saw
that too. Yeah, yeah, what am I gonna do? Yeah,
you don't listen to me. Like he goes right for those steps, and
he starts doing his little laps right And it's interesting because we had the pool
drained recently, and before the pool was drained, he would just go like,
you know, a couple feet away from the steps and then make a
yuwi flip a bitch and then come back. Now he goes further out,
like towards the deep end. It takes a longer stroll, a longer paddle,
it takes a long way, goes all the way close to He doesn't
go all the way, but he goes like half to halfway. And I
noticed it, and Sonny noticed, and he's like, you notice he doesn't
he's going further. And it's like, it's weird because he did go in
the pool when there was no water in it, of course, or it
was down to like up to his ankles at the deep end. So he
went walking around the pool like where the hell's the water? So I think
something in his brain click like, hmmm, it's not so scary. I
don't know, it's interesting. That is interesting. Yeah, So anyho,
let's talk about let's talk about neutrifoil. Yeah, we love neutrafol. We've

was thinking about having kids that are getting older, yes, and I'm noticing,
like with life with my twins, you know, there's still very much
not homebodies like they're they're often busy and doing stuff. And you know,
but LB, because she didn't go to college, and you know, we're
waiting to see where she's going to go and whatever she's this it's in this
weird limbo where she's like an adult living at home and she has a lot
of stuff going on in her life. And I was talking to I'm trying
to figure out like a situation that's going on with her right and she doesn't
tell me stuff, but there's clues, you know. And I was realizing
that having an older kid like you literally have to be a detective. I
was just thinking this, you got to like see clues and you got to
listen really carefully, and like maybe you got to get somebody to be like
bad cop good cop so that you know you can and you have to like
fish for stuff, but not seeming like they're being interrogated because I could be
like they could lawyer up, you know. Yeah. I was just with
Sonny recently. I was like, I can't get a read on him,
like does he want to go to college? Does he not want to?
Does he want to just go to work? Like you know. I talked
to him and he's like, yes, I do. But then the therapist
just told me that he and he told me this too. He's applied to
two more universities because he didn't get to do it the first time because his
counselor was like, because of your health issue, wait and then do it
later. I don't know, but now he's been having that health issue and
he was flying, yeah he was, he was. Yeah, it's been
like a year now he's been having this health issue okay with his bladder.
So anyways, long story, what to you're saying. I was pleasantly surprised
to hear that he took it upon himself to apply to two more universities that
he wants to go to Oregon and I think Utah or whatever, but he
because he wants to go to the schools with the big sports, you know
everything, it's all about the sports. So anyways, yeah, so but
I'm like, that's awesome, such like he just did it and he applied
on his own. He didn't have that counselor or anything. And he told
me, and I was like, oh my god, say, I'm so
happy. And he's like, yeah, I want I do want to go
to college. I do want to go off to college. So I was
like great, you know, and then he's got the other places. He
got accepted to Washington State and UNLV and I think something I can't remember,
but anyways, he got that Oregon State, yes, or University of Oregon
Oregon State, Okay, yeah, I think pretty sure. Alby's one of
Elbe's best friends. Goes to Oregon State, is home for spring break right
now and loves it, loves having a great time. Yeah. His a
good friend of ours son is there and loves it and was telling Sonny all
about it. So yeah, he's he's definitely yeah, so he took it
upout anyway, I get you're what you're saying. It's like, it's you
can't get anything out of these kids at this age. Alby plays everything close
to the vest, but if you you have to like read between the lines,
and you have to it's it really is like solving a mystery. And
I was listening to a crime doc and I was like, this is very
similar to because there's a situation going on with lb M. I think having
to do with the boyfriend that moved away, right, Okay, but it's
like I can't I know, people are probably like, well, why don't
you just ask her? Well I have Yeah, I tried that route,
right, I tried the direct communication route and it didn't really work. So
then it's like, you know, this is like a week ago. I
could hear her having a conversation on the phone, and I could sense what
it was about, and I really wanted to listen, but so I was
trying to eavesdrop, you know. But then Xander, Okay, so the
way our house is, I was like standing kind of and it was by
accident that I heard that there was something going on. So her bedroom is
sort of like down a hallway and there's the kitchen, and then there's the
living room. And I'm standing in the living room and I can kind of
hear what's going on, but in the kitchen is Xander and he's making a
lot of noise, and I can't be like the other day he did,
And I was like, I didn't want to be like, first of all,
I didn't want Elbe to know that I was standing in the living room
because now I'm standing there, not the conversation's already happened. I'm not overhearing
on purpose, but I'm also not I should have been like I could have
been like, oh, Elbie's having a private conversation. But in my mind,
I'm like, Mitch, is my house. You're talking loud and I
can hear it, and I'm not like, I'm not like standing outside your
bedroom door. I'm not that crazy, right, you know, I don't
have a glass up against the wall, but I can kind of hear it
except for Xander talking me making like rattling stuff around, and I can't be
like, Xander, can you be quiet. I'm trying to overhear. I'm
trying to like I'm trying to eavesdrop on Elbie. I can't say that for
multiple reasons. A Elbie might hear me say to ask Ander to be quiet,
which will alert her that I'm in hearing the thoughts of her conversation.
You want to pick up a shoe and throw it at his head, right,
But be Xander is a freaking trader and might go tell like, you
know, mom was listening outside like her, here's your conversation, right,
And also you don't want xand anything you're doing that damn too exactly, So
multiple reasons, exactly. Yeah, especially you know with these kids being on
like therapy on the zoom, right, I don't want them to suddenly get
self conscious that like I might be like outside his room listening, which I'm
not right I know. By the way, people, Okay, this is
so funny, Stephanie. I had the same thing happened yesterday. I took
Sonny to the doctor and they always the doctor always goes, okay, mom,
you can step out, let me talk. So I was like,
all right, all right, okay. I was thinking like him and I
are closed, like let's not goes no secrets anyway, stupid, So I
go sit in the little waiting room, and Sonny's a loud talker, and
I hear her I'm not trying to listen, but here like you're a try
of course. So then I hear I hear her say something about your mom,
and then I hear him go she and then the freaking receptionist has to
answer the phone, go this is Mary, and I'm like, fucking bitch,
Mary, really and then and then it's quiet, and then I hear
him talk and I'm like listening, and then she goes, we have an
appointment tomorrow, and I'm like, I just want to take off my flip
flop and hit her right across the face like Stott knocked that phone out of
her hand, like I'm trying to listen here. And then the air conditioning
show at the right time, huh, because I was like, I'm trying,
and then but the air conditioning's up, but then it goes off,
and then frickin Mary's got like thirty minute conversations got nowhere. But anyway,
it's just so funny because this just happened yesterday. That's hilarious. Well,
I hear I hear Elbe saying something to the effect of that I can tell
that this the person did was did something wrong, but I can't quite get
what it is, what the situation is. But she hasn't been like really
sad. She's been fine, right, but like without going into too much
detail because it is her business. Clearly something was wrong, but her attitude
isn't bad, so I try so then I have to try like another tactic
because I'm like, I know that she was telling her friends something bad that
he did. I don't know what it was. I'm dying to know what
it is. But I'm like part of me is like listen as a parent,
like as long as she's happy, why does it make her? But
then I'm like, well, I'm curious all the same reason I watch Real
Housewives. I want to know what's going on. And I'm now getting like
but hurt that she's not telling me. And I'm like, why is she
telling her friend so freely? And by the way, she wasn't whispering the
conversation, like it wasn't that big a secret. It's just that I couldn't
hear it, and I couldn't like go right stand right in front of her
door to hear it. Her door is open a little bit, so you
know what I'm saying. I'm like, this is not a secret enough that
she's being quiet, but she's also not sharing it with me. And now
I'm like, how am I gonna How am I gonna find out? And
then I'm like take her to lunch. It's all scheming. I am like,
I am like a detective that is like, how am I going to
get the DNA? Like, well, I'm going to take him to lunch.
I'm gonna wait till he puts the cup down. You know that,
I'm gonna get a napkin. I'm gonna wrap the cup in the napkin.
I'm gonna bring it straight to the ladd and a baggy. This is how
my brain is working. I'm like, hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing tomorrow after school? I want to go get some lunch?
And she's like sure, you know so that I'm like, hey,
so what of course I have to? I'm like, don't bring it up
right away? You know, you don't want to be obvious. Like the
reason I brought you here is because I want to know what that fucking is
going on, Zach. So I'm like, what, so, got any
any gossip? You know? We I freaking have to talk about like four
other topics before. I'm just like, so, what's going on with so
and so? You know? And she's like, oh, nothing. So
I'm like, who, I mean, pay for your own pokey? How
did you know it was poky? I figured of course it was. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm like, I mean true, yeah, I seems like
something's going on. I can't be like I've fucking heard you talking to people.
I know that your attitude. First of all, you haven't seen them,
second of all, like I know something's going on, Like why won't
you tell me? But I'm like okay, I'm like listen, like you
could tell me, like you're never going to get it and I told you
so from me if like, and she's like yeah, no, I know,
and she gives me like a little bit but obviously not the story that
I want. So I'm like I have to let it go. I can't,
like I can't ruin my like disguise, like I can't let her know
that I've heard like so then I'm like, okay, I got to reapproach
this later. But you have to be so careful because you don't want them
to be like why are you asking me so many questions about this. I
get it the way you do well. Also, I have had friends they
have daughters that are friends with Elbe, so then I have to piece together.
I'm like, Okay, I'm talking to this one friend whose daughter spent
some time with Elbe, and I'm like, what did you get? And
she's like, I didn't get much. She's like, believe me, I
would tell you. She's like, I heard, well, she told her
this, but she said I heard them talking about the situation, but I
couldn't quite make out what they were saying. And I was she was like,
same thing. She couldn't go stand like. She was like she knew
I'd want to know. But she's like, but like bottom line and she
seems fine, and I'm like, all right, then I felt like I
failed the case. Yeah, you didn't fail. Well, I just feel
like I'm not good at my detective job. You did pretty good. You
get an A for effort, that's for sure. I really have been trying
to work the case like pretty hard. Boots on the ground, yes,
no time for backup. No, I'm like the only thing on taking a
break for is like listening to podcasts like my job and I'm like, you
know, I'm pretty behind the I got all the but it's going to be
a cold case file. But no, you know, it's going to be
like years later. I'm going to be like, whatever happened, and then
she's going to be like I don't remember exactly, Like damn, I know,
yeah, I get it. It's so hard. It's weird because they
go through stages where sometimes they tell you everything. You know, you're talking,
and then they shut down and then they kind of don't want to tell
you anything. And then then they're in the stage where like they don't stop
talking, you know, Like Natalia is a little bit in that stage.
Now she's telling me about her relationship and how it's gonna have to come to
an end soon, and you know we've been doing she telling you that,
yeah, yeah, they agreed that they're gonna break up. I didn't tell
you that. No, Yeah, I mean you told me that a while
ago, but then they went back on it. I know that. She
was like, we'll see, yeah, I say, we'll see, we'll
see if they really break up. I don't know, Like, so when
did she tell you that recently? She was like, we're gonna have to
break up. It was actually a couple months ago, but she did bring
it up again, like cause I'm going I'm taking them to Florida for spring
break because all of the family's going to be there, Nicholas, Anthony and
their kids, and you're bringing my boyfriend too. No, no, no,
But she was saying, like, I'm and be so bummed because we're
gonna break up and then I'm not gonna see him for like you know,
we're not gonna be gone a week, but you know a chunk of the
week that they're off for school. She's like, I just wish we could
bring them, and I'm like, no, we can't bring them, like
we have a full house. But if she's gonna break up with them anyway,
wait, she's saying, what is she gonna break up with them soon?
They're both they both agreed that they were gonna but they're gonna go to
problem together. Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna break up after like no,
she said, like in May, like at the end of May, which
they graduate in June. So yes, they are gonna go to prom and
stuff, but they want to do it early in the summer so that they
can I don't know, get over each other by the time the fall comes
or I don't know what their plan is, but they do agree it's not
gonna work, but they're gonna be in each other's lives and still really really
good friends. And I don't see it happening. I don't know. They're
pretty close right now and getting along. I just love him so much,
he's so great, such a sweetheart. And where is he going away to
school? I think he's going to San Diego, Okay state, So they're
not going to be far from No San Diego to Santa Barbara. Right,
that's not not that far. Yeah, it's not out of state, but
it's in state, but it's still a few hours, right. I think
they're going to stay in any state in touch. Yeah. Yeah, he's
such a cutie bie, so sweet. Anyway, that's what's going on,
But I know it's it's tough. You know, teenagers. We were going
to talk about quiet, Quiet on the set, Yeah, teenagers. Yeah,
I was offended. I could not believe the ship that was going on.
If anybody's seen it, it's called quiet on the set. It's about
the Nickelodeon scandals. Yes, of UH staff members that are freaking pedophiles,
that works back in the nineties, more than one pedophile. Oh yeah,
I was like, I am full, Yeah there was. You know,
they start off with Dan Schneider. We could say his name, right,
I mean, everybody's talking about Okay, and is it on HBO Max or
is it it's on Max? Well it's on id ID on Discovery ID,
which is under Max. Yes, now yeah, okay, yeah, that's
right, it is. So yeah, you can go watch it. It's
like a four parter and yeah, but if they watched the first two parts,
have you watched all four? Yes? I finished it? Okay,
are the last two as good as they used two? Yeah? Very good,
because then they get into what happened with the second pedophile, right,
and then they finish it up again with Dan Schneider. They start off with
what an asshole he is? Just the things that they was. I could
not believe. I never really watched Nickelodeon shows. My kids came around after
the height of Nickela. I kind I guess they never were really into any
Nickelodeon stuff, Like I was into Nickelodeon when he was around. Breaking way
oh this guy, yea, yeah, your kids didn't watch I Carle.
I mean yeah, they did Carle and Victorious and all that. They watched
all these shows. They watched Jesse, Jesse and then but that was on
Disney. I thought it was Disney. Yeah, hey Jesse, Yeah,
hey Jesse had the poor kid passed away? I was on that show.
Oh I know Cameron Boyce. Yeah yeah, Remember I told you a little
quick side note. We went to the Christmas Tree Lane, right, it's
like a year before he died, remember, and we met him there and
he was so nice and his dad and they were like, do you want
a picture with him? And my kids were like yes, and then he
was so sweet. Yeah, sad. Yeah. Well, anyway, this
guy, Dan Schneider had a hostile work environment, which we have a patreon,
which kind of goes into the theme this week. Stephanie told it an
interesting story. I told a story about a hostile work environment exactly. Yeah,
inspired by watching this documentary, yes, exactly, and the like yeah,
like working in the like television back then. I that that environment of
you know, treating women not you know great and a little you know,
misogynistic and sexist and blah blah blah. But what I was shocked at the
stuff that he got away with on the show, like squirting shit in the
women's and not women girls, young girls. Young girls. Yeah, like
Britney Spears's little sister Ariana Grande when she was young, like squirting shit in
their face and like you know, yeah, basically like cumshot glory whole.
Yeah, you know shots like doing like the Gloriole. What about the one
where Ariana Grande was like holding a potato and the potato like giving the potato
a hand job and then it squirted potato and trying to get potato juice juice
out of it. I mean, if you out, yeah, gotta,
if you see this what we're talking about, I that's what shot. I
couldn't believe. I was like, this shit was going on. And now
about the boy noseboy, big nose boy or whatever. Did you see that
in this costume that looked like a penis and balls? Yep, And they're
put putting these young kids in leotard's and these kids were embarrassed. And now
they're adults and they're talking about it. Yeah, it's but it was also
the work environment. Like it's really interesting because you know, he was in
charge, he created these shows. He had a lot of power he came
out with this YouTube video I don't know if you watched it now, which
was one of the kids who was on one of the shows interviewed him,
had him come and like did it was like a twenty minute interview where he's
basically apologizing and saying like, hey, yeah, I watched quiet on the
set and you know, it was just really hard to watch that and I
feel so bad that these people felt this way, and it is so full
of fucking bullshit. It's crazy. And the person who's interviewing him clearly like,
look, it's basically one of those things where that guy is like,
I mean, hey, I never had a problem with you. I always
really liked you, but you know, some people are saying some stuff,
So what do you have to say about this? And he'd be like,
yeah, that never happened, and he's like, okay, moving on,
Well what about I got to ask you about this thing? And he's like,
yeah, uh. The main thing is that, you know the thing
I did do I didn't do any of that stuff, but what I did
do is, you know, I was I was kind of a yeller on
this set. I did and I wish if I could go back. I
wish I didn't yell at people. But he's like, what about these two
female writers that said that you only paid him one salary? And he's like,
yeah, I have nothing to do with like the salaries, Like that
is not everything he pushed off on. Right, he either made himself the
victim of just like, oh my gosh, this is so hard for me.
The only reason it's hard for you is your cau exactly. He said
that he did not get fired from Nickelodeon, which he did, you know,
whatever kind of deal they made to get rid of him, right,
he did get fired, Like whether they said listen, you go right and
we're not going to like press charges or whatever. I don't know what they
said, but so that maybe legally he can say no, I didn't get
fired, but it's such bullshit. I heard so many stories as I was
starting to tell you on Patreon, the stories about Dan Schneider are way worse
than what came out in this documentary, Like really, yeah, your worse
gross stuff that he did, But people were too scared to come forward because
he gets bad people fired, and he had the ability to just like he
he was the kingmaker, so he could give people the spin offs, he
could make them famous. He played favorites with these young girls kids, you
know, insinuated himself into their lives, right, And I mean one of
the kind of stories he's responded to the documentary. Sorry, have you gone
over that? Now? That's what I just finished talking about. Yeah,
he just spent twenty minutes. Yeah, but it's not a real response.
Well I have. It's a nineteen minute video interview, so there's a lot
about it, but I can give you just the first line that says he
says watch because he watched the doctor series. He wrote, watching over the
past two nights was very difficult me facing my past behaviors, some of which
are embarrassing and that I regret. I definitely owe some people pretty strong apology.
Yeah, he's not calling again. It's a nineteen minute interviews, Okay,
but it's an interview with a guy who really likes him. I thought
when you were telling me this, I thought it was an old interview.
I was an interview with a guy that played a character on I Carly,
Yes, who loves me. I love There was a lot of people,
if you watch the doc a lot of people loved him, and this guy
was like this was a friendly interview, so all these news stories that are
like he responds, it was a soft thing where the guy's like, will
let me ask you about about this. This is a tough one and he's
like, yeah, no, I didn't tell any of that anyway, moving
on, Okay, well let me ask you about this. And he's like
and then the guy's like, well, thank you for like clearing that up.
It's like basically him going like, no, I deny that. I
deny that, and he's like, okay, well, I'm glad you cleared
that up because a lot of people had the misconception that it's true. And
he's like, yeah, no, absolutely that was made up. And he's
like, okay, moving on, well, I'd be remiss if I didn't
ask you what Let me ask you one more thing. And then he's basically
telling him what a great boss he was. I'm not kidding. It's just
horrified to watch. And if you look at Reddit responding to that video,
like he's just victimizing himself. He's making it like yeah, this was really
hard for me. This is really terrible that I'm having to like and it's
only now, it's only now that he's apologizing right, this thing came out.
There's been allegations about him for years. Why didn't he apologize then?
But then also he got a he left Nickelodeon and then got a job at
Disney exactly, and then I think came back to Nickelodeon again, and one
of those other pedophiles that they talked about also got a show on Disney after
the fact, after he was in jail. I know now he's working.
I looked him up. This country is so fucked up, it's crimes to
this kind of thing. It's it's like it made me physically, I know,
ill to watch this doc I'm like, this goes on and everybody's scared,
and these freakin network executives don't like let it, let it go,
and and Dan says, he's like, hey, you know he comes up
with all these bits, right, like, yeah, let's let's focus in
on their feet, Let's make them suck their toes, stuck their toes,
let's do all these things that sexually gratify me. Right, Okay, because
I heard I'm telling you that I heard worse gross stuff than he did.
But have him go, well, hey, it's the My bosses were the
ones that approved it, right, he gets away with it. Fuck you,
like fuck you for being a sexual deviant and making putting kids in that
position. And then like, well, hey, nobody else had a problem
with it. It's bizarre that nobody just goes, what are you doing with
this bit? But they did, Like remember the one that was the parent
of the Yes of the the Pans boys. Yeah, noseboy was like and
then and then she and it got him fired from the show, right,
and then it ruined her relationship with her son because he was like, oh
my god, you got me fired from like my arm show and ruined my
life. It broke my heart. I hate even though now looking back,
he's like, she was looking out for me. But you get ostracized.
I now, I get it at that level. But what about the execs
at the Viacom that owns Nickelodeon. Nobody's watching the show with their kids and
they see like the fucking you know, the lotion getting squirted in the little
girl's face like a calm shot. You know, like nobody's going like,
what the fuck is going on in this show? Like where's the Viacom execs,
where's the Nickelodeon execs? I get the parents and the actors, But
what about the people up above, like, what's going on on? Nobody
goes, what the fuck are you doing? You're sexualizing these little kids for
years and he's not that great. He's kind of hackney. Oh yeah,
so so hackney. But let's take a break and come back and continue.
Got a breather. Yeah, I don't get it. It's the disturbing But
the the other pedophile that's now still working who and people came to his defense
to Patters, isn't that the guy's name? There are two? Yes,
yes, yes, the one that was like Pickles, Yes, the Pickle
Boy boy? Right, do you remember Pickle Boy Kaitlin and Nickelodeon? Was
that a show or a bit? He was? Yeah, it was a
bit. Wasn't that on the like the kids catch Sketch SNL type show for
kids? Yeah? When I google him, Drake Bell a lot. So
Rake Bell is the one who is a victim of that guy of Pickled Boy.
Yes, disturbing story that he gave. Did you see that yet?
I haven't gotten to that part. It's like he's this The end of the
second episode is basically about the fact that he was one of the victims.
Yes, it's heartbreaking, it really is. Well because he was like a
coach, an acting coach on set, and it's like, you know,
his parents are divorced and they live in Orange County, and you know he's
like, well, he's got auditions tomorrow. I can you know, mom
doesn't want to drive from Orange County take them for auditions. And you know
this this acting coach is like, well, we work together on a Nickelodeon
on the shows. I'll take him to auditions. I'll work with him tonight.
Run his lines, can spend the night at my heart my house and
Van Eyes, which by the way, has a picture of painting from John
Wayne Gacy in his garage at that unbelievable unbelievable and it's like, yeah,
let him spend the night. And how's that guy not in jail for how
base people get sentences of like sixteen months? That's insane to me, that's
insane. I mean it reminds me of watching that show, your favorite show.
So you turned me on to that. I watched The Ship out of
I love about catching these child predators? What the hell it had? My
name is Sam? What's your name? Yeah? That yeah, that show
what was it called? That was HBOS It was on Discovery and what her
name was? She had a cool name anyway, and they were running that
company that like tried to suss out child predators and made up fake profiles of
It was a it's a new way of catching predators, you know, like
that what's his name used to do. It reminds me of that though,
where they they'd catch these guys and they do this whole sting and they would
have like rape children and then they'd be like, well he got two years
in jail, and you're like, get it by the wow called Undercover Underage
Undercover, Thank you, Kayln Undercover win producing. Yes, it's on Discovered,
It's on Discovery. Yeah, Undercover Underage on the Discovery. Yeah,
you can see it on Max. Yeah. Yeah, I highly recommend it.
Season two is way better than season one. Yes, I watched season
two first. Yeah, way better because then they got their ship, they
got their their organization down. Yeah. And remember I got John sucked into
Oh yeah, what are you watching? And then three hours later, yeah,
I know, I see the next episode. He's like, I'm not
busy. It was interesting, It was interesting and my but the point is
they catch these predators. One little diddle with a kid is a lifetime sentence,
right for that poor kid, that poor child, right, And these
fuckers just get like six months two years in jail. Exactly what the fuck
are you kidding me? Crazy? I don't get it. I don't get
it. I don't know why that's the laws. But yeah, these predators
don't get very much time and all. So I personally think Dan Schneider should
have been probably brought up on charges, like there's other things that he did.
But it's like they nobody wants a huge scandal, you know, Nickelodeon
doesn't want to go down for having this guy be in charge of all these
kids and doing. You know, but look at Amanda Bynes. I know,
she's gone crazy. She went she went crazy, and that was the
strongest probably influence in her life. So what was going on there? What
was That's right? They'd interviews with him in a hot tub with her.
He was always by her side. They never really he was like acting like
her manager. He tried to get her emancipated from her parents, like you
know, he basically in his nineteen minute puff Piece interview, he's like,
yeah, like a lot of people misread that, Like, listen, she
was just having problems with her parents and they she got in a big fight.
In the documentary they talked to her parents. They seem pretty fucking normal
to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like wanting what's best for her,
right, And they're like and then this guy is like going to court
trying to get her emancipated from us, right, And he's like, yeah,
I don't know. She was just having a lot of problems with her
parents. And one night she called me and she was like, you know,
I guess they'd really like yelled at her. There was a big problem
that I was really scared for her, so you know, yeah, I
arranged for her to have somewhere to stay, and then like I tried to
help her get emancipated. It was just a really common thing in those days.
Oh, it's just a really common thing. You know, kids,
teenagers just getting them away from their parents, who you know, are trying
to like exert a little control over their kid's career so that they're not being
crazily overworked, right, right, I come on, it's he looks that
Dan Schneider looks familiar, Like was he a kid actor? He was on
Head of the Class. Oh, that's right, that's right, Yeah,
he was. He and Brian Robbins. I have to find out if I
can get any dirt. But Brian Robbins and Dan became producing partners, and
they were both from that show. They were both child actors and Head of
the Class. Yeah, and then Brian became a big producer and we had
his ex wife on the show. Oh wow, who wrote Stash. Interesting,
Yes, but he definitely started doing his own thing and then started,
you know, running all these shows. He split up with the with his
partner with Brian Robbins, went on to do other things, but you know,
just nasty stuff going on. To Jeanette McCurdy who was on the spin
off Sam and Kat. Yes, yes, and she played Cat. She
played Cat. Sam was Ariana Grande. Right, Okay, So she wrote
in her book, I'm glad my mom's dead. That book that she has,
I need to read that book. She's she basically called she doesn't say
Dan Schneider by name, but she calls him the creator and she said had
a lot to say about him, and I just know a lot of stories
from behind the scenes of how manipulative he was with her real and trying to
pit her against like Ariana Grande and just like just like it really doesn't end.
And she tried to tell people and nobody would really listen to her.
It's just just horrendous. Do you remember years ago there was like the Kid's
Choice Awards and Dan was still some stuff was starting to come out about him,
and she boycotted. Jeanett McCurdy boycotted the awards. Wouldn't go they showed
it in the dock? Oh they do? Yeah, yeah, she comes
up in the dock. Yeah, but like nobody looked into it more at
that time. It was like this, like she like, you're not gonna
listen to this girl with these claims about this guy. No, because he
was so powerful. I don't get so pat like you can't find somebody else
in Hollywood to write these shows. He didn't seem like he was that creative.
He was using like putting pickles through a glory hole to what was the
comedian? I guess you didn't see that one yet. I did. I
saw that part. Ray Romano, Oh, Ray Romano, Like how did
not just go? This is freaking questionable at best? Yes, I love
I do too, but I guess if you're on a Nickelodeon show and it's
a kids show and there's hot dogs and pickles, and he probably didn't,
you know, it's probably not in his head like oh god, this is
a glory or maybe it did cross his mind, but like, oh,
what a coincidence this is a girl. Maybe he was like, well,
I don't want to be the guy that's like this isn't this really seem like
a gloryhole. Then they're like, ray, how do you know what a
glory hole looks like? And he's like, I'm just you know exactly.
Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, go watch this thing. Yeah,
go watch it. Let us know what you guys think. Yeah, and
then next week we should talk about did you watch the program yeah that somebody
recommends to us. I want to watch that. I will watch that by
next week. Okay, that's your homework. Yes, I watched that for
next week. Yeah, Kaitlin, do you have any any big shows to
recommend before we go? I would like to recommend a show called The Gentleman
on Netflix. Okay, I've heard of it. It's based on a Guy
Ritchie movie with Matthew mcconna. I want to see that, and so they
made a series out of it, and it's really good. It's like,
it's funny, there's action in it. There's lots of great characters. It
starts I think his name is THEO James, who's in I think the first
season White Lotus. I just finished it last night and I loved it.
Yeah. A lot of people are telling me about that. How many episodes
up are? Yeah? Oh you watched all eight? Oh yeah, I
want to watch to watch that. The program is that what it's called the
Jats, The Gentleman, The Gentleman. The Gentleman in the program. And
the movie is good too. If you haven't seen the Guy Ritchie movie as
well, it's you could actually, I mean you could watch it separately.
It would kind of help to watch the movie first. Okay. I like
the movie called The Gentleman. Yes, alright, I like Guy Ritchie.
I saw the trailers for it. It looks really good. It's very entertainment.
Yeah, it looks good. Okay, all right, everybody, this
has been a tell us. We never gave you any recommendations. We do.
Oh my gosh, this show is packed. That's right and long.
All right, Thanks everybody, love you guy parent, Now, don't f
it up. It's good that ain't good.
