Nikki call you a girl, Randy Mayames got too many names, and Rachel
is still a newcomer. Boom wow, impressive shorter this time. So I
have this new obsession. It's John's fault. He turned me onto it.
Okay, Watching these like crime scene like watching cops with their cameras. Have
you ever watched these? It's always like I used to watch Cops? Is
it like the show? It's kind of like Cops. A lot of it
is traffic stops and it's people that like it's drunk driving stops. It's a
lot and it's mostly the ones that John sends me are like Karen's. You
know, it's these women that are like how dare you I live? And
there's so many funny ones. This this one that I'm thinking about is this
woman who just keeps saying that she lives in a multimillion dollar house, like
I guess she's allowed. So this woman was was there was like a blockade.
There was some kind of like little parade. She couldn't get through for
a race maybe like a yeah, she couldn't get through in New Jersey.
So she just busted down one of the barricades. Oh my god. Yeah,
and then she was shocked, shocked that she was getting pulled over.
I do you know who I am? I live in this gated community.
I live here. I live in a multimillion dollar home. I live in
a multime Are you listening to me? I live in a multimillion dollar home.
I have a right to run over five k runners. Oh my god.
The best, though, is the drunk ones, because you know they're
so drunk and belligerent. There is one so this one woman that I was
just watching, And the reason I was it's so fascinating is because and there's
such karens is the police. I sit there with John watching them going,
oh my god. Imagine this was like a person of color. Imagine it
was a person of color, they would be dead by now, because every
single time it's white women and the cops are like, ma'am man, they
have endless patience, endless patience. A big thing that's helped is the fact
that they have the it's not dash cam, what do you call it,
the body cama, So they wear those body cameras, and a lot of
times these women, these white women are like, are you you're putting your
hands on me, you know, and the copsle it's just like, Ma'm
no, I'm not, but I'm going to be like you need to get
out of soon. Stop you're you're molesting me. And the cops are always
like, ma'm I'm wearing body camera right now, so like that shit is
not gonna fly right, Like you need to calm down. It is always
the most crazy when they're drunk. They're they're like, I was just driving
to my grandmother's funeral. If somebody saw this one, you know what I'm
talking about. She's like, my grandmother dive today. She's dead the same
day, Yeah, exactly exactly. She's like, I'm going to pay my
risks facts. Okay, this was after this woman hit another woman's car.
This poor woman's broad daylight. It's the middle of the day, it's at
eleven am. She hits this. This woman was like coming out onto like
from my parking lot onto the road. And you know, when you're drunk,
Well you might not know this, but you know, when you're drunk
and you're driving your car. Have you ever heard that if you're drunk driving
people, people's eyes go towards this. Yeah, they go, they go
towards objects on the side of the road. They have trouble like staying straight
ahead. So this woman just plowed into this woman's car who just had like
the nose of her car sticking out to be to make a left hand turn.
This woman swerved over to the side and like hit her car, and
then so the cops come. The woman was okay, but the other woman
was just like she just wouldn't get out of the car, and she just
kept saying oh. So she's They're like, ma'am, you need to get
out of the car. She's like, I will not. I want you
to call my dad. My dad he's not gonna put up with this shit.
And they're like, okay, we're not calling your dad. This,
Yeah, she's like thirties and she's like, my dad's mother is the one
who died. And so then she she's like I need my phone. They're
like, well, do you have your phone. She's like, yes,
I'm calling my dad. And she literally holds up like a wet nap and
she pulls like a like a like a wet nap, like a diaper white
basically to her ear. And the cop goes, man, that's that's not
your phone. That's like a wet nap. That's a wipe. And she's
like, oh, you're just gonna talk to me Like dad like, oh
no, she's not a phone doesn't wipe. Oh my god. This video
goes on for like twenty minutes. I'm gonna I've got it. They're all
on YouTube. It's not a show, no, it's just like it's it's
a channel called like crime Watch or crime stuff or and there's a bunch of
different channels that show these videos and a lot of them are so they're like
twenty minutes long a lot of them, so you can really get a full
And do they all say watch till the end? You remember that from a
long time ago, Well, some of them do get bored. They take
a while to like heat up, but a lot of them are just like
they're just Karen's out in the wild, just being crazy and like yelling,
you know about their I live and I'm multimately I'm a businesswoman. One of
them was just screaming that she was a business owner and given money to the
police. Okay. This one was a woman who had been reported. They'd
called nine to one one because she'd had a fight with her boyfriend. And
I don't know if she'd hit her boyfriend, but there had been a big
fight in front of this hotel. So she's out in front of the hotel
and the cops come by and they're like, hey, ma'am, you know
what's going on? And she's like, what are you talking about? And
they're like, well, somebody reported somebody with your description who had an altercation
with their with with a man with a man and she's like, you know
me. They're like, well they fit your description. You're the only one
standing out here and you're wearing no shoes. Oh. She's like, I'm
just waiting for a neuber to go home. And the cops like, well,
you're pretty drunk, and she's like so what they're a law about being
drunk now and they're like, well, yeah, in public. Yeah,
and then so then okay, so she they start trying to detain her.
She won't say her name. She and then she just keeps going, I
give money to the police. I give a lot of money to the police.
Do you want me to stop giving money to the police. And it's
the city whatever township. She's like, I give money the blah blah blah
township. And they're like, okay, so do you think you should be
above the law because you give money to the township and she's I mean.
And it went on for so long, and then they get the guy comes
out looking for her boy and then he's like practically crying, going, you
are hog tied my girlfriend? How dare you? And they're like, oh,
now they're deeply in love. She's not hog tied. She has handcuffs
on, she's walking, she walked to the car. It's just people,
white people screaming. Yeah, it's just so it's really fun. Yeah,
it sounds like when they get in trouble, but a lot of times it
just goes on for so long with them being nice, and I'm like,
I know, can we get some payoffs. Don't hit this person in the
head with a guitar made them? What's with all the patients tae them?
I want to see some tasing action. I watched similar videos. There's like
a and I've had to I've had to just delete the app because it's just
such a waste of time. It's such a time. It's Reddit and it's
a subreddit. And I think I've said this before. It's called public freak
out. Oh, it's called Yeah, it's so entertaining and yeah a lot
of them are cops pulling over people who are intoxicated and you know, get
off me, you're assaulting me, you're blah blah blah. And I'll just
spend hours watching these videos. And I had to, like, I had
to delete the red Axe. I know, like, what do you think
is so like? Is it soothing just because it's not us? Like?
Why? I think so? I imagine being that like animated, ye,
drawing that much attention to myself that I think it's that's why it's entertaining for
me. I think I think that's right. It is wild though, because
some of these drunk driving ones and these women that are like I've got my
thing. Kids are at home. I need to go home and see my
baby. And I'm always like wow, like I quit drinking, and I
was I can't even imagine, like if I'd ever been that bad and was
like that belligerent about it, and just do you never do you dive into
the comments and leave a link to your book. Oh my god, I
should. That is such good. I really should do that. So that
that's what I've been doing. I had something that I wanted to tell you.
Oh oh so my foot A lot of people foot still broken. Last
last week I told you I had gone to back to the doctor. He
sent me for a CT scan. I got my t CT scan. He
told me it's still broken. I had to get a bone stimulator. Okay,
so it I got her. That was a machine. I thought it
was like a pill. Oh no, it is a little like it's a
device. It's a medical device. So it's this is just annoying. Uh
So they called they had to run it through my insurance. Right, So
I get the call from the woman who was trying to get it covered.
They have like a department who does that, and she's like, hi,
so okay, we tried to put it through your insurance. Your insurance denied
it because and I was like, really, because I don't know what else
they're supposed to do, Like, well, then you're going to pay for
surgergy because that's like the next step. I mean, so they she said,
they denied it because they want you to have had an x two X
rays nine weeks apart, showing that it's still broken. So I didn't.
It had hadn't been from the first X ray to the second X ray,
though it had been nine I don't know. But she was like, from
the very first X ray, from the second X ray to the last X
ray, it hadn't been nine months nine weeks, but from the first from
when I did it it had been over nine week. It doesn't it had
been nine and a half weeks anyway, but on the record of the doctor
it wasn't. But check it out. She's like, so you're gonna have
to pay for it out of pocket, and the out of pocket expenses five
hundred dollars. So I was like, okay. She's like, you can
make payments, interest free payments, you can split it up however you want
get reimbursed. No, because it's out of pocket. She's like, but
here's the good news. I guess if your insurance had approved it, the
charge would be like twenty seven hundred dollars and none of it would it would
all be being paid toward my deductible. She's like, so weird, Okay,
out of pocket. So she's like, basically, you're lucky they denied
it, because if they had accepted it, you'd had that. Maybe that's
why they denied it. Do you think are they that good hearted? But
now so anyway, so I got this thing. The fedexed it to me.
I said, yes, I will accept the charges because I'm so tired
of my foot, of being in pain and not being able to walk.
Yeah. The other day I took Xander to the mall and I put the
boot back on because I was just like, I can't. There's no way
I can walk that much. It hurts a lot, But I gotta tell
you, I think the bone stimulators already starting to work. So it's like
this little thing. It looks like a it looks like a big like an
older phone, like a big flip phone, okay, and it's got a
little window on the front of it, and then it's got a little like
a cord and you put it has it comes with like gel called ectrots.
It is like it's not a let, yeah, kind almost. It's like
a little thing that conducts radio waves. And you put the thing on.
You wrap it around your foot and you put the thing on and you connect
it. Basically put some gel on the thing and then you put it against
your foot and then it's held on there with this strap and then you just
hit the timer and twenty minutes every day you don't feel it. It doesn't
hurt nothing. No, you don't feel it at all. Oh my gosh.
Yeah, that sounds like witchcraft, I know. And it is a
weird thing where you're like, is this is this Western medicine because I'm like
Western medicine, Like you know, like is this like could I just as
easily be like chanting for feeling warm water and herbs. No, this is
like a thing that's kind of been proven. It's not foolproof, but some
people it has like I don't know, like between forty and ninety percent six
like rate. Well, some people on the fol page said that it worked
for them. Yeah. I believe it is already working because yesterday I was
in some pain. This morning, I was already feeling better. I did
the bone stimulator today and I haven't been having pain today at all, Like
I've been not I'm not walking much, but like from here to the car
around the house, you know, and it doesn't hurt. Yeah, it
was. This is the first time I've seen you without a boot. Yeah,
it's so exciting. I'm kind of excited about that. Yeah, because
you, I mean, you royally fucked up our summer. It's unbelievable.
I mean, it was so sad. I might first day of summer,
like no mall trips of concerts was so sad and sadder than I am because
I'm so active, like and when I say active, I don't mean like
active. I don't mean like moving, like I don't mean hiking, have
you, I mean like going to the mall and eating big Bavary impression exactly
like you know, no, but like I mean, it's killing me that
I can't watch the dog. I know. All right, let's take a
quick break, oh and talk about neutrofol. Neutrofol is a really great product.

take Xander to them all the other day. So we have a my nephew's
bar Mitzvah's coming up same month, and when this airs I believe, I
don't well, we're still in August, but it's September, September bar Mitzvah.
Then I have oh, this episode is airing in for sure in September,
towards the later in the month. I'm going to a wedding in Seattle.
Really yeah, leave kids home with LB. Oh. Interesting, I
was like, you know what, we're going to this wedding. Why take
people with us? Let them be home? I agree. Oh, the
only hitch in my giddy up is that. You know, the kids say
choo, choose name. Sadie and Xander can't drive and Elbi does work,
but how sweet is this? Elbi was like, why don't I just call
off of work? So we're leaving on a Friday. Perfect, We're leaving
like Friday morning. We're gonna walk people, take the kids to school and
then we leave. So Elby's going to pick them up from school that day.
Okay, probably not work that night, so you know, make sure
that they get dinner. You know, they can just whatever they do grub,
grub hub, door, daver eats, whatever, or E'll get them
food or whatever. They can make something. And then Saturday, Elby said
she would just stay home. They're gonna have to walk the dog in the
morning, walk the dog at night, and then Sunday were we decided there
weren't. It was really hard to get flights that were a affordable and worked
out we could either do six am, no yea or five thirty at night.
So we elected to do five thirty at night. We get in at
like eight pm. Yeah, so they'll have to walk the dog one more
time for us and then we'll be up. That's nice who's I mean,
can I ask whose wedding? Oh, it's just sorry, it's John's like
old old college friend. That's so fun. But it's it's his old college
friend's daughter. Okay. Yeah. So I haven't been to Seattle and like
since I was a kid. It's a fun city. Yeah, it's beautiful.
Yeah, so we have like, oh, have all like a whole
thing saying on Sunday, you can You've got the whole day to wander around.
Yeah, we're gonna go to like the fish market or whatever space needle.
Yeah, maybe I don't know about that. Yeah, so that's gonna
be fun. But this bar Mitzvah is my nephew's bar Mitzvah. So the
kids are coming. I don't know why. Maybe you can tell me,
but it's causing me a lot of adjea just to figure out like what to
wear, Like Xander has no none of my kids. My kids don't have
a lot of dress clothes because we live in California. When do they ever
really dress up for anything? By the way, I don't either, but
I'm going to borrow. Yeah, so when is it? It's next month?
It is it's well, yeah, it's this month. Oh okay,
it's later in the month, so oh yeah, yeah, so I took
so Anyway, Xander is also doing speech and debate at school, so he's
like, I need some dress clothes anyway. So I haven't shopped for like
dress clothes for Xander since he was younger, and it was kind of easy.
Could just like go to coals, Yeah, get like a dress shirt
of a hall blazer. And he can't fit int it. That's like so
long ago. So I took him to you know where we had luck.
I was going to take him to Macy's, but we went to H and
M and they have a whole like suit area. The only problem is everything
is cut is a skinny cut. Have you noticed this trend? It's skinny
or slim and it's like skinny stretch. But it's like a weird fit and
it's not it's not good for him. You know who actually has nice suits
is Target? Really, if you're on a budget, They've they've got stuff.
Well, I might take him over there, But we did have some
luck. We tried on so many things and he found this one pair of
like gray pants with like little white pinstripes, and then we got him a
white dress shirt and a black dress shirt to go if we might get a
different colored pants, like find some blue pants or something. So there was
this really cute blue pants and this blue jacket that it's the blue wasn't like
a stuffy like navy blue. It was like a grayish blue, I mean,
like a really cool color blue. So I was very into it.
I was like, oh, this would look so badass on you. But
the pants just didn't fit him. They were like too tight because of the
freaking skinny. Yeah. I don't know who can successfully wear those, and
he's not built to fit into something like that. So anyway, we found
these gray pants and then I was like, well, what jacket because I'm
not a guy, so I don't really know. And he's like, well,
I think blue jacket might go with the gray. I'm like really,
but with the gray and white. So anyway, I went out to get
him another size in the jacket, and while I was out there, there
was like some dude, some dude. I can't it's hard to even describe
what he looked like, but let's just say he looked like maybe he could
have been in a gang, but then like really outgrown it. And now
it was just kind of like a dad. Yeah. You know, I
imagine that guy totally cut, like jorts and like kind of a buzz cut
and like a mustache, but like he were my school. Okay, okay,
okay, the earth right. But he's like the closest guy to me.
I'm looking at this and I say to the guy, I was like,
excuse me, And you know, he thought I was hitting on him.
He thought, who is this senior sist like hitting on me? But
he turned around he's like yeah, And I was like, can I ask
you a question? Can I ask you for some fashion advice? And I
said, not for me, for my kid and he was like yeah.
And I was like, what, which does this jacket? I need to
know what jacket goes with these pants? And he was like, oh,
the blue. You could do the blue with those pants and I was like
really, He's like yeah, absolutely, and he's like, how old's your
kid? I said, no, you don't think the gray because it was
a gray and he goes no, He's like, howlds your kid? And
I said fifteen and he goes no, definitely, the blue. The gray
two matchy matchy two stuffy. So then it was really funny because then Xander
comes out and we've got like his stuff and the guy. Now, the
guy's like on fire for like, he's so excited that he got asked his
opinion. So he comes over. He's like, hey, how's it going,
you know, and Xander's looking at him like yeah, and he's like,
listen, I just want to say, like, you know what would
look good. He's like, what you do is the gray pants and the
and Xander doesn't know. So Xander is looking scared and I was like,
no, Xander, this is the guy I asked for his friend. Yeah,
he's my friend. And then Xander goes, oh okay, and then
he was all about it. He's like, listen, hey buddy, this
is what you want to do. You want to wear it? Like you
go the gray pants looks so cool with some brown shoes and you do that
blue jacket. He goes, I got my shoes right here at H and
M. And they were like these really plastic e cooking shoes. And Xander's
like, oh okay, and then he's like, you know you want to
do you gotta put a watch, you gotta watch. Zander goes yeah,
and he's wearing like an Apple Watch. He goes, I wear the Apple
Watch just because it looks cool, not even charged. He goes, but
what I would do is just charge it up. Just charge that up.
Oh my god, looks great. And he's like, you're gonna look great.
It was really funny. He goes, you want to get a couple
of chains, maybe like a like a silver chain, but the kids actually
do with it really yeah. Cesandrew was like, I might need to get
a chain, and I was like, maybe not. Well, Jack is
now really into Versace, so he has sprung. He has some fake Versaci
but he has like you know, buys knockoffs from Timu or something like but
clothes, but clothing, but he has real Versace sunglasses like the gold,
like the tackiest, and they're super cute because like they're his. Look.
Now he's just so funny. So yeah, he's adopting a look. I
mean you saw him at my birthday, Yeah, had his cool little purple
and black shirt. And he is into fashion now, yeah, which he
never was. I mean I could have bought anything for that kid, and
now I don't dare So okay, it's funny. I was actually looking to
see last time I was on the show. And it was before he moved
out, before Jack moved yea, So it was last July. And I
remember telling you how I was getting obsessed with life three sixty. Yeah,
remember that. We talked about that. I was kind of like doing an
intervention on myself and like making a plan, like I don't know how I'm
going to do this, and said the day Wade, let's remind people.
So Jack went to college. Yeah, So he's at San Diego State,
right, So, and he transferred there. So he did his first two
years at community yes, because one of the years was COVID. Yeah,
and he was online for both years of community college. Way, and transferred
to San Diego State. And so I would just you know, he would
he doesn't have a curfew, and I couldn't go to sleep until he got
home. I would just obsessively check, like two am, where is he?
Where's And it's so ridiculous. This is when he lived at home.
There, when he lived at home, But like, what's going to stop
me from doing that? When he's at college. It's gonna be worse,
right because he doesn't live there. So I'm trying to figure out a plan
for myself and Wade. I couldn't go to move him in because it was
my first day teaching, and Wade drove him up there, and I,
of course I checked like three sixty bloop, he dropped himself off. He
took himself off of late three sixty and I was like, at first my
heart sunk, and then I was like, Okay, this is a gift
because I this is what I needed. Like my parents did not know where
I was when I was in college. I don't need to know where he
is and keep tabs on him. So and how did go and did it
go away right away? The obsession? Yeah, pretty much. I mean
there were times I wished I could have checked it, but when it's not
an option, there's like nothing to manage. So it's I'm glad he did
that. I never said a word about it. You know, I don't
know if he was waiting for me to call and say, why did you
take yourself off? But he was I mean, how old was he was?
Nineteen almost twenty and he's never been back on. Nope, I'm glad
Elby hasn't asked to be off life through sixty. Well, he didn't ask
of it. He just took himself off. Yeah, I feel like for
me, I mean with Sadie and Xander, I need I need it,
And it's more like I oftentimes, I mean, John's obsessed with it.
John watches what we're doing all the time. It's annoying. It can be
annoying. I know I've been with you when Yeah, he will text me
if he if I've stopped at the store, He'll be like, oh,
can you pick up blah blah blah. It's like he's just constantly seeing where
I am. Also, he's really controlling and very jealout. Now he's kidding,
it's very quirk. He has his quirk that he I think he's bored
and I think he's like living vicariously. How they almost home. Yeah.
But but with Elbe, I think it's kind of a safety thing because you
know, she's a young girl out even when she's with friends, Like I
feel like I would want to know if something happened or if I didn't hear
from her for a really long time. It helps me to know where she
is, Yeah, for sure, but she wasn't responding or but she also
still lives at home as Yeah, so I think that was kind of the
line for Jack was moving out, you know, and it was funny.
Shortly after he got there, he calls me and he said, you know,
I was wondering if you could send me my passport because don't you think
it's a good idea for me to have my passport? And yeah, someone's
going to Mexico, so what's the plan. But I gave it to him.
Again, I have to draw the parallel between like my upbringing and I
had strict conservative parents, but when I became an adult, it's like,
you're responsible, you haven't proven not to be, so do your thing.
And I've sort of tried to take the same the same stance, you know,
because I read about parents on the web page, like someone is having
a hard time figuring out how to pay the tuition. Let's say, just
go into your kid's portal and see what it's itemized on their portal. I'm
thinking, you have your kid's portal password, and I don't. I would
never ask for it. I don't have any of LB stuff. There's no
way I could check anything. Yeah, I just I figured if he does
flunk out, i'll know because I won't get a bill, right, And
I actually that it came up because I wanted to get a good student discount
for him. So I had to ask them, I'm like, this kind
of personal even though I'm paying for school, but do you have above at
three point? Now? It's like yeah, he said, okay, can
you send me your transcript so I can't send it to the insurance company.
So he did. Interesting. Yeah, it's it's a weird line to draw,
right, you know, Yeah, I don't. I mean, Elbe
took care of all her college stuff herself, and she just I mean I
helped her with the application, like, I sat with her, and because
some of the stuff is questions that you have to answer, like about your
income on some of them, right, So I sat with her. But
I would never have known been able to check. I knew parents. I
mean I know parents that were like, oh my god, I found out
my kid got into this school and they don't know yet. And it's like,
oh because they checked that portal before their kids. Such an invasion of
it. I feel like it is too. But cently the paying for college
one oh one people don't because they all do it right. But then I
go the parents that are on that page that are posting all the time are
crazy and way too over involved with their kid's lives anyway. Yeah, they
act like they're the one going to college. Yea, yeah, so like
we're going to Michigan State. This is where I'm not going your going.
We It's not even like a husband saying like we're pregnant, Like at least
yes, that is like if your wife or your girlfriend is pregnant or your
significant other participated, you are participating in that. You are. That is
something that you will be experiencing together. But you're not experiencing college with your
kid. They are going to college, right, you are not, although
they wish they could, they could rush with them and do all that stuff.
I know, what was that? Wasn't there a movie where the mom
goes back to school with her daughter? Oh? I don't know there's a
movie like that. Back It's not back to school because that's like a Rodney
Dangerfield movie. Well, what was the one with where the guys go back
with Will Ferrell? Old School? Old School? I love that movie.
Yeah, that's a funny one. All right, let's take what I'm seeing.
Oh it's called Life of the Party. Okay, yeah, yep,
okay, look at you, kaylen Is it supposed to be good. I
don't know. I came out in twenty eighteen. Let me seet the rotten
let's guests, the rotten tomatoes. Right, let's take a little let's take
a quick break, and then we'll come back with that score. Okay,
would you come up with? Are you going to guess the score? Okay?
I think it stars Melissa McCarthy. Oh okay, so I think viewers
seventy two. I think critics forty five. Oh that's a good guess.
Okay, I'm gonna guess viewers eighty two. I'm gonna go ten higher than
you and critics seventy two. Mm. So the audience and the critics were
actually pretty simpatico on the movie. Critics thirty eight, audience forty. Oh
god, it's horrible. Then if the audience doesn't like it, that's really
bad, especially for a comedy, right. Oh yeah, and because critics
are often dismissive of comedies. But yeah, wow, for the audience.
I usually always go by the audience squaw too tomatoes, absolutely, especially like
with scary movies. Yeah, because I like you do you like scary movies?
Not really, I like psychological thrillers, but I don't like Gore.
I don't like slasher movies. I don't like Gore, but I love scary
movies. We just watched one called The Autopsy of Jane Dee. Yeah.
That was really I mean it was kind of gory just because it was an
autopsy. But it was good. Yeah, like that's like a creepy movie,
super super creepy. It was great. Is it Did it come out
in theaters? Probably but a while ago. Yeah, I watched it.
We watched it on TV. We streamed it. Okay, great. Yeah.
John does not like scary movies. Well Wade doesn't really either, but
I make him watch them, and half the time we'll be sitting next to
each other on the couch. I just remember this with the what's the one
that was all just on the video Cameron Paranormal Activity? Yeah, paranormal Activity.
We watched all of those, and I could see in the reflection of
like our China cabinet, that Wade wasn't even looking the TV. He was
just like staring at me during the scary parts funny, and then I look
over and say, what is going on? He's like, why do we
do this to ourselves? Why do we do this to ourselves. This is
too scary. Be quiet. I love being scared. I still remember as
a kid going to the drive in to see a Christmas Carol with I'm sure
it was a George C. Scot one so ages me well as if drive
in didn't age me enough. And the Ghost of Christmas Future just had that
black it didn't have a face, and it scared the shit out of me.
And I was up all night. Oh. I woke my mom up
a couple of times, and then the next morning I asked her if we
could go see it again. Really, Yeah, I just I love that
feeling. Yeah. I watched a movie. I'm okay, it's Vincent.
Can you google horror movies Vincent because Vincent. It's like the Vincent is the
director. No, but Vicent Price, Yeah, Vincent Price. And it
was like I want to say, it was like a night at the opera
or something, and it's these vignettes. It's this guy who's getting revenge on
somebody. And I watched this in grade school at somebody's house, like somebody
either either I was at a friend's house and there was a babysitter there.
It was somehow that we shouldn't have been watching this movie and it was the
glorioust grossest, Like, this guy is forced this this this guy's taking revenge
on people. One of the worst scenes was he kills this man's dogs and
then he makes them into pies and he makes the pies. Yeah, and
you don't see him kill the dogs, but you know that he killed the
dogs. And then he's eating. The guy's eating the pies and then the
man tells him that's your dogs where and then and then he's like horrified and
scared and then he forces forces him to eat until he like explodes. Oh
my god. Now I've just never done that moment on. I've like,
I don't like I don't like that feeling. I don't want to be scared.
I don't want to have things that I can't unsee. Right, I
still can see it in my head. And I was young. I was
probably like third grade. Yeah, that's too young to see that stuff.
I know. Sometimes my students will talk about movies they've watched, and I'm
like, oh, that's you. I don't tell them, but I'm like,
okay, note to self, parents, a first grade or should not
be watching Smile. I mean a lot of young kids like, yeah,
I loved it. Yeah, I don't remember that. I mean I kind
of remember that movie. I mean I didn't see it, but I remember
the kids talking about my kids don't like it and don't want to see it.
Oh, Jack will watch any scary movie with me, really love them
from a young age. Yep. Although one of them we had to turn
off, and I was so grateful we did because it was so scary.
Baba Duke, did you see that was fucking terrifying And just at one point
I can't watch anymore, turn it off, turn it off. I'm like,
thank god he said that, because I was getting really scared. I
don't even remember the premise of it, but it was super scary. I
remember, like it was yesterday, seeing the Shining and thinking that was the
scariest movie I'd ever seen. It was pretty crazy. Two Little Girls,
anything with the little girls, Oh La la la, the little kids rad
rack. Oh my god. Yeah, that movie scared the ship out of
me. But that's I like that a little bit better. That's a little
more of a psychological thriller than I think. I told you. My stepfather
would take me to see, took me to see like Friday the Thirteenth and
all those movies when I was twelve, and he thought that was a bonding
experience and he would take me to see those kind of like we're just kids
at summer camp, are getting like slaughter, even though he knew you didn't
like scary movies. Yeah, like your mom putting onions and things. You
know, I would say, yeah, I'm what the fuck? I don't
know a way to connect with your kids something they hate. I don't know
what he was thinking. Yeah, I didn't like it. I know I
didn't like it, and I know I didn't really want to go, but
I guess he was like offering and would so I yeah, huh. Weird
parents are weird. They really are. So how's Jack. He's a senior
year? Yeah right, I mean he had a last his junior year,
just having such a good time getting good grades. He's doing speech and debate
and you know, he's let me ask you this. Okay, he still
has autism. Yes, he doesn't just go away. So does he still
need any sort of accommodations or has he completely learned to adapt to any situations
at work? When we have accommodations in place, it was harder to get
at a university. It was easy to get his accommodations in place. At
junior college, he could totally handle that on his own. But for San
Diego State, we had to have a letter from a therapist. Remember with
a therapist, so I was actually able to call his therapists from when he
was a kid and ask if she could meet with him just to write up
the report. And she's like sure. She said, I do a sliding
scale for families if you need that or I think she charged two fifty and
did this full right up. So he does have things in place, like
more time on tests, alternate testing location, but he hasn't used any of
it. We just always get that stuff in place because you have no idea
what a transition is going to be like. And that's part of the reason
we were able to get on campus housing even though he was a junior.
He sort of pled his case that I want to be close, I want
to live with people who know the lay of the land, and I want
to be successful, and I think you want me to be successful too,
So they offered him a contract in on campus apartments. Okay, so that's
where he lived last year and loved it and now he's living, oh my
god, with like ten guys at a house like a block away from where
the apartment was. They have a pool and he has his own room,
and so he's like, it's a house. But people buy up these houses
and then make them into dorms basically, okay, separate them into all these
tiny bedrooms and you know, add an adu that holds four people and charge
exorbitant amounts of rents. Oh gosh. And but you know, he loves
it. He loves it, and he really likes having his own room because
he didn't have that last year. Okay, so he's really enjoying it.
School just started. What's his major communication? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think I need that. Yeah, And he likes it and loves
it. Does he know have any idea what he wants to do with it.
He was really interested in marketing and that type of thing. So I
do think he's the type of person who could sell anything. So who knows
where he'll end up. He did decide to to get this past summer.
You know, his housing contract was all the way through the summer, so
little too. He didn't know everyone would be gone. Cycle people leave during
the summer they move home, so there was no one around. So he
was kind of bored. So he went to the Jersey Mike's by campus and
got a job there. So he's working now too, because you know,
he worked for like three years at Jersey Mikes. He's a sandwich sandwich what
do they call it? I forget what Jersey Mike's actually has a name for
it. They do what it is? Not an artist? Not an artist.
So he's working and he likes sad and he just started speech again.
He's doing I think he's doing impromptu this year, which is what I always
did in speech, where you get like ten minutes to prep. They give
you a topic and you get ten minutes and then you're on, Oh my
god, Xander would be really good at that. I think you would be
good at that. Oh god, No, well you're you're keeping this rolling.
That's because it's you make as beach based on like I would. I
don't feel like I could do that. I still I was in sixth grade
at the Speech Bowl and the one topic I remember was tomatoes said to write
a speech on. I didn't write it. I took notes, and so
I got up and talked about you know how tomatoes come in all different forms
and da da da da, and oh my gosh, yeah, like what
are some of the topics that would like a college kid would get. His
are much more esoteric, like they're not like sports cars, and they're usually
political or they're much more complex. And he always likes taking like a pop
culture kind of approach because he's totally into like hip hop and kind of drum
and bass kind of stuff, and so he'll often find a thread to connect
that too in his speech and so, you know, trying to do something
different I think not so obvious, but that's such a great skill. It
was a great skill. But it also totally depends on your judges because they
may not appreciate that. So it's like, well, maybe you need to
get to know your judges too and figure out if they want traditional or or
i don't know what, you'd call it trendy. That's so cool. Yeah,
I'm so proud of him. I know I am too. Yeah,
he's doing great, and empty nesting is pretty nice. I think it's differently
just one kid, because you know, if he was out, we never
had another kid to watch, so we sort of experienced that already. But
he did not come home very much last year. It's like why would he?
It was fun though. At my birthday party, he at like midnight
that Kaitlin, do you know Raising Kanes the chicken Press? So they just
opened one in Northridge and it had My party was on a Saturday and it
had opened on Wednesday, and so like midnight, I said, do you
want to go to Raising Kanes? Because he had been raving about it in
San Diego. He's like, oh my god, it's the best chicken I've
ever had. And he's like, yeah, will you drive? Because I
hadn't been drinking, I'm like sure. It was like Disneyland on steroids.
The line was I mean like a quarter of a mile long, three lanes
wide. It was unreal. But it was so fun. You know,
I can't remember the last time I've driven with him because that was always like
when we would talk and then your kid gets their license and it's like,
oh my god, there go those conversations. None of the commuting conversations happened
anymore. It was just fun. It was sweet. So it's nice spending
time with him. Yeah, all right, well this has been so lovely
having you Robin for these t shows. And we have we had on Thursday
against special guests. Might have also had his wife Shari. Maybe it's possible.
We don't. We don't know what happened. You know, you know
