I love to get like a book too, like like one of my
favorite books from when I was little, like a Little While Crocodile or something.
Um. But I'm not going to be there in person because I have
this. I already had plans to go. I'm going out of town to
a it's like a you never go out recovery retreat. Oh yeah. So
it's like a lot of meetings, like you know, recovery meetings, and
it's normally not my type of thing to do that, Like you know,
one meeting is good for me, that's plenty, like, but I've been
I never went to the there's this is for a certain meeting that I go
to has a retreat every year, and I've never gone since I got sober,
which was like you know, fourteen years ago. Because I always had
like young kids, and then it was just like whatever. I was busy,
but this I don't know. I was like why not? Ye,
my plans to go and I paid for it, and then I broke my
foot. Then I asked my friend if I should still go even though I
have a broken foot, and she was like, yeah, totally, Like
you're just in meetings. Yeah, what are you doing? My friend is
driving me? Who I really like that's doing. I don't even know how
fun it will be, but maybe it'll be good mentally. Yeah, that's
nice. Yeah, it's been so wild not walking people like that was my
life. I walked people every morning for seven years that we've had her,
like every morning, like it's my job unless there was something crazy that I
was doing that I couldn't. It's so weird to just like have John do
it every single day and then Xander takes her every evening. Ah. It
sucks. It does suck. And now I haven't been able to walk Phil
because he had his stitches for two weeks. Oh yeah, how's he doing?
Because he ain't doing that great because he got his stitches out the other
day and they're infected. There's a couple that's infected. You said you were
saying that he was you were worried about him. Yeah, oh that day
when we were on the phone, I was looking at him and he was
fine. Then I took him in that day. Oh you did go check
it out because it looked like his belly was swollen. He was totally fine.
But then five days later when I take him to get his stitch stitches
out, they're like, yeah, these and I looked red. They were
like yeah, they're a couple are infected and he's to be on antibiotics.
And he's still continue with that fucking cone of shame that he hates and every
all of us hate because he can't go and like what, he can't go
in the pool, so we have to walk him outside to go to the
bathroom. Oh it's just and he wants to go on the pool. He
heads don't heat, just heads right for that pool and he just can't.
So I hate that. I know, I know people is I think anxious
that I'm not walking her because it's just not her routine. So like every
morning she still starts like crying to me, and every evening she she's a
really really good dog, and this isn't even to say that she's not being
good. It's just that this is her one thing is that when it's time
for her walk or when she wants to go out, she'll like cry to
you like she'll go right, and then I go, I can't walk you,
and then I have to go get like Xander under her breath. No,
well, she speaks your language in the house. I feel like if
she was calling me a count, it would be more of a bark,
like she'd be like hunt, like count Hunt. Yeah, but this is
more like mom was so um, I hate it um so Klin. Yes,
Lego Land. We have been putting off this story for like a couple
of weeks. What happened? Yeah, So it was Ila's birthday and her
birthday was on a Tuesday, and we just did the normal you know.
I took them to their play place that they liked to go to and then
had dinner and they were like, Okay, we're gonna go down to Lego
Land on a Thursday. So did you sing her Happy Birthday on her birthday?
Of course? Okay did So she's not a monster, but so she's
fully conscious. Well, I remember when my kids were really little, like
you didn't have to tell them exactly like you did, but like I got
her cake, saying okay, birthday with the cake at dinner. Okay,
because like you could have just told her her birthday was on the day that
you took her to Lego Land. Yeah, well we told her it was
for her birthday. Okay. Um, Yeah, we were gonna go to
Disneyland, but we know somebody that can get us tickets and they couldn't get
them in time. So we're like, okay, we'll just go for Lake's
birthday and for Iola's we'll go down to Legoland. Um. In the past,
we'd go down to see diego to the zoo and stuff like that,
but we didn't want to stay overnight. It's just too much. We're like,
okay, we'll drive down to Lego Land, and I mean, I
haven't been since I was ten or eleven or something like that. We leave
the house, we get about twenty five minutes away from the house, and
I'm right in the middle of texting you Stephanie about like some show thing,
and then like five minutes before Blake's going like, oh, my tummy doesn't
feel good. And they say that a lot these days. That's their go
to excuse like if they don't want to eat their food or whatever, they
just go, my tummy hurt. It's like, okay, I don't I
don't believe you. You know, it's kind of crime wolf. At this
point, she goes, how my tummy feels weird to go, okay,
drink some water. Drink some water. And we're driving and then what do
you know, she just let just throws up all over herself in the backseat.
And we're twenty five minutes away now, So it's like, okay,
do we go home? Do we like? We don't have an extra shirt,
we don't have an extra clothes for her, so we go. We
pull over and I, oh, let a lego land right. Yeah,
we're driving down to San Diego, right yeah, okay, and so got
ways to go. Yeah, we got a waste to go, but we're
just far enough away from home that we don't want to turn around right and
go back, So we pull off. Cars starting to stink up crazy.
Um. We get her out and I just google it and luckily there's a
target like right around the corner. I go, fuck it, let's just
go to target. We'll get her like a new shirt and some pants.
Once we get her out of carn clean her up, she's fine. We
run to Target. We get the pants and the shorts, and and then
I was like, well, oh well, I want a new shirt too.
See, being with freaking toddlers is like being with like two drunks.
We're throwing up on themselves and then you get her cleaned up, and then
the other one's causing a fighting target. It is like being with drunks.
We go, okay, we'll just get her a new shirt of targets.
So then I like, well, I don't want to I want a new
shirt too. So okay, now we gotta get Isla a new shirt too.
So Amy runs into Target grabs two three shirts actually two for Blake and
one for Isla. She was happy with that. And then so luckily that
was pretty much the end of that. And we got down to Lego Land
and I just had I just thought it was so much better than Disneyland.
I hadn't been there and forever, and it is like, it's the perfect
size. It wasn't too hot. It was a little hot, but it
wasn't too hot. It's the perfect size. We went all around the entire
part twice. We were there from like eleven am to seven pm. There
were all the rides. We got on way faster. They went on a
ton more rides than they did at Disneyland, and they had just a great,
great time at Legoland, and I did too, because it wasn't we
weren't just standing in this play Yeah. Yeah, Like the most we spent
in line was maybe like a half hour for every single one of the rides
except for one. There's one ride where it's like you get in like a
Safari truck and drive around and there's just animals built out of legos, that's
all. It is one of one of the more boring rides. We were
probably standing in line for like an hour and a half. Oh god.
I looked at it going like oh this is this is no problem. And
then we get in it and we're there for like twenty five thirty minutes and
it's like, Okay, this line is not moving, but we've already committed
like a half hour to this, so now we can't leave. So then
we were stuck in that dilemma. So then we just had to wait another
like forty five minutes before we got on the ride, which was incredibly boring.
Isn't there things for them to do while they're waiting? And like,
no, no, you had said that ahead of time, and then I'm
waiting in all the lines of when were were all the toys legs? Yeah,
and you didn't see that they didn't have remember they used to have that.
I don't remember that, but I would have been the lego that one
once. Yeah, they're okay, No, maybe people were stealing them,
yeah maybe, um, but yeah, we had a great time, and
I the Legoland was I thought it was just so much better than Disneyland,
but yeah it is. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna go back to Disneyland
in August for Blake's birthday. So nice. That's nice, girl dad,
Yeah, girl dad. Oh yeah, that's what the audience can't see it,
but that's what Amy got me for. Oh my lad, he's wearing
it's a girl dy. Oh my god. We got to put that on
our Instagram. That's so cute. I literally just said, I didn't see
your socks. That's so funny. Cute girl dad socks. We'll take a
picture of that from Yeah. Um, and so you were gonna tell us
about So they just started dance lessons yea, Saturday was their first dance lesson.
They're doing it together. It's just kind of a it's at the local
park, so it's just kind of, you know, in like some big
wreck room and they're in two separate classes because of their ages. And we
didn't know that it was a ballet and a tap dance class. So we
got there and we were the only ones without any tap shoes, so they
were doing their tap section in their ballet shoes. Um. But it was
very cute. They yeah, they liked it a lot. And yeah,
at one point halfway through, Isla was like, yeah, I don't know
if I'm into this and just kept looking at us like, go on dance,
and then she just walk over to us and stand next to us.
We're like what what what are you doing? Like, no, go back
out there. She's like okay, So I don't know. She kind of
lost a bit of interest about halfway through, but it was fine. It
was cute, go forward. Yeah, so then you started also swim lessons.
Uh yeah, well today was their first swim lesson and how's it going?
Well? Um, obviously I came here to do the show, so
I couldn't take them right, Um, so I had a feeling it wasn't
going to go well. Blake generally likes the water, Isola not as much,
but they've gone swimming before with us. And then I just got a
text saying swim was a nightmare. They refused to get in. They were
screaming and crying, and Amy had to go, I guess at some point
into the pool with all of her clothes on. Oh my gosh. Well
hold on, let's talk more about that. But did you know that this
show is sponsored by Better Help? I dad, I do know. Now.

any experience with swim lessons? With the kids, no, because Wendy taught
my kids how to swim. I remember vividly. It was the summer Michael
Jackson died. It was like June, oh yeah, and we were listening
to Michael Jackson all day and I have video of it. And Wendy's in
the pool, you know, we had so Sonny had this ridiculous bathing suit
that was yellow and it had an inner tube around his ass pretty much,
so he looked like a duck. And if he which is kind of dangerous
because if he went forward right would go he would capsize right right right.
But he got the hang of floating. And so every night Adam would like
throw him in the pool. And Italia too, like with her floaties,
like throw me, throw me, and so, but Wendy really just worked
on it with them. Yeah, And I remember Susanne's daughter, Gracie was
over and Susanne's in the kitchen and Gracie was being really mean in Italia and
and I think she like was splashing her and trying to I don't know,
you know, playing it rough too too much. And when he was like,
you know, that's shit off right now, you knock it off or
you're getting out of the pool. And then Susanne came out and she's like,
everything's fine. Yeah, I told you that. That was like my
big thing that happened with my friend was also a cool thing. Her daughter
was holding my was holding Elbie kind of down in the pool, and I
was like stop it, and I like sharply, was like, right,
don't do that. Yeah, and then my friend was like, don't discipline
my kid. I will discipline my kid. And I was like, but
yet, not disciplining your kid, and this is dangerous. Like I was
like, that's fine, except for this is a dangerous situation and I had
to put us stuff to it. She's holding her head under the water and
we had a like an argument about that. Yeah, yeah, it was
bad back then. You get a lot good now, but yeah that's good.
Yeah. Well, when my when Elbie was little, probably around the
same age as when Natalia and Sonny learned to swim, she learned to swim
at her at camp so they she could like dog paddle around to be safe
in the water. But I started giving her swim. There was like a
guy. It's really funny because he was like a total pothead, like he
was just a stoner and he was always like forgetting that he had lessons,
and none of us could understand why this camp kept him employed, but they
did, right, So sometimes you would show up and sometimes you wouldn't,
but it was anyway. But she learned slowly over like a few months,
like she had like twice a week lessons, like little group lessons. But
when Sadie and Xander were old enough to go to that camp, they were
still pretty young, and Sadie was so little that she so like, okay.
They had two pools at this camp, and one was for kids who
weren't very good at swimming, and it was like more of a waiting pool,
but it was like three feet deep, and one was a regular pool
for kids that could swim right well. Sadie was so little at that time,
because she hadn't even started any growth hormones, so she was teeny teeny
tiny and she couldn't her head wouldn't be above water even in the waiting pool.
So I was just nervous, like, so I was like, I
need to teach get her swimming fast. So there's this company out here.
I mean, I don't know if it matters if I say the name of
it, but there it's a big thing out here. It's called water Whispers,
And it's like what they're supposed to do is like teach your kids fast
one week boot camp. You take them like every day for five days and
they're supposed to be swimming at the end of it. Well no, not
my kids. No, my kids were my kids and the and so some
people at the time they were like four, because four, I think is
the age, isn't it that they can start learning. I think at age
four is when they can start really kind of learning. That the the well
you can babies. But I just remember when I took my stupid class in
the valley, you know, a mom class, right, I remember her
saying age four is when you can really start. Don't start lessons until then,
it's it's a waste of time whatever. I don't know. So they
might have even been a little bit older than well it was before it was
like after their last year preschool that's when they were going to go to this
camp. So definitely under five, yeah, or maybe maybe just turn five,
I don't know, whatever it was. Sadie was teeny tiny, and
oh my god, they were horrible, like and you're supposed to, like
the moms are supposed to or the dads or whatever whoever's there with them.
They don't want you to be part of it. They don't want to interfere.
It's like moms go sit back, and because they know that, they
say, like, the kids are gonna cry because they're they're not gonna like
it. Yeah, because they kind of hold them underwater, they make them
and they're eventually though, they're supposed to be able to swim. Right,
Oh my god. So first Xander, I want to say Xander was kind
of like more mellow about it. Maybe they were even a little bit younger.
I have video of it, so they definitely were probably four. Anyway,
I remember that Sadie crying and screaming and like wanting no part of it.
And eventually they were like, yeah, this isn't working. You're going
to have to come over and like talk to them or help them or whatever.
So I was like, okay, like trying to come for them,
but you feel so bad because it's like they're being tortured. I mean,
they were screaming and crying, but they want you, they want you to
get them out of the pool, right right, don't make me, mommy,
no, mommy. And then so Xander was like, okay with it,
and he was being kind of cool, and then he learned a couple
of tricks, but Sadie was screaming and having none of it. By the
last day, somehow it turned around and Sadie was the only one who would.
So at the last day of it, their little graduation, they're supposed
to jump off a diving board into the deep end and then swim out to
the instructor who's waiting for them, like whatever, and they give you a
little videotape of it. I have it somewhere, and Sadie did it like
a champ, and Xander at that point had totally turned around on the whole
thing and was like absolutely not, absolutely not. And I was like,
are my kids the only like water whisperer failures like and fucking cost a ton
of money? Yeah, because it was were we your kids, with no
exceptions, will learned to swim like in five days? Yeah? No?
And then they were kind of traumatized, and even Sadie, even though Sadie
had done it and it went fine, wouldn't do it again. It was
years of them being as scared of the water, like not wanting to go
in the swimming pool. And you know what changed. It was quite a
few years later, many years later, Julie's daughter Bella taught they have a
pool and like we would go over there and go over there, and they
were scared of the water. And then one day Bella was like, I'll
give you guys swim lessons and was like super gentle and fun about it,
and they learned how to swim in like a day because they already kind of
knew, but they just were too scared to do it right. And then
that was it. Now they can swim. I now and I remember,
well, how well your kids are the three? Yeah? Yeah, I
can't wait to hear how that went next week? Yeah us, yeah,
well two weeks from now, because so are they doing like an everyday program
or is it gonna be on once a week? Oh yeah, maybe that's
better though. Well, yeah, I mean I'll hear more about how the
session went or how bad it was. But I'm hoping now I can get
them prepared for it and so they'll know what's coming and so I can talk
them up ahead of time, like we're going to be doing this tomorrow here's
what you need to know. Okay, we're going later today. Here's okay,
we're here now. Right. Oh, I'm hoping that might help,
right a little bit. Maybe if if they do it with a friend too,
maybe that helps. I don't know. It seems like they would like
like it more if they were in the pool with their friend. I don't
know, but yeah, and then I remember your I remember Sadie or I
think it was Sadie every day wanting to jump off of the big diving board.
That was Xander. That was years later when they didn't know how to
swim and they could, and we would go to that Van Ey's pool cool,
and Sadie wouldn't jump off of the even the low diving board it wasn't
that high at all, and she wouldn't jump off of it. Meanwhile,
Xander was going to the platform. Like I meant, there was a lower
a low dive, a higher dive, higher diving board, and then a
platform like pretty high. And Xander was like, I've been to that swimming
pool. It's very high. It's really really high. I was scared and
Xander was, and they were young. They were like he was going off
and she won, like eight or nine, and Xander was going off of
it once after another after another, and Sadie won. It wouldn't even go
off the low was to but maybe she would go off the low one.
She wouldn't go off the like second high one, right, she was too
scared. And remember she was getting frustrated and remember, and then she would
stand the whole time, and then she would walk out there, look down
and then walk back and the kids would be going like come on, and
then she would cry and like climb back down. Ah, do you ever
go to the pool anymore? Oh? God, no? What are your
next door neighbors? Don't let you go to swimming in the pool anymore.
So we had those three guys that live there that were like amazing, We
love them so much, and we would go. They would let us use
the pool whenever we wanted, and then somebody else, No, then it
was empty for a while, but we weren't and we would oh it was
empty for a while, and we would sneak one summer and go swimming in
the pool. We'd have to climb over the wall though, right, and
then this there's a guy who lives in that house. Now, like one
guy we don't really know him, so we can't sneak into the pool anymore.
Yeah, so we don't really have pool access. Oh, come over
to my house. What else? So you're watching something? Yeah, I'm
watching something. It's on Apple Plus. I'm surprised that you guys haven't or
nobody's brought it up. Maybe on our Facebook. It's with Tom Holland.

I can't. And now that I think about it, but there's a documentary.
There's a documentary on it on Netflix. Oh okay. I mean I

it and then I yeah, I can't give you too much. Okay,
how many is it a whole season? Yeah? The finale is tonight,
right, oh okay, yeah yeah, and then I want went to Netflix
to watch the real story. So yeah, so there's a documentary and this
is like the act. It's sort of like The Staircase where they had a
documentary about the same case and then the right drama. Right, okay,
right, it's really good. It's really good. I'm gonna watch it.
Yeah, yeah, I have all those channels. Why not? Yeah?
Why, oh my god? Did I tell you? I don't think i've
told you, because I think this happened since last week. But I got
into like a full on binge with the under underage undercover and just watched the
like entire the wholes whole thing. I was texting you showing you. I
was like I can't can't stop, won't stop. You didn't watch the first
season though, I didn't should I It is fine, but if you watch
the second season, it just kind of ruins it for you. They didn't
have their ship together they do on the second season, I watched every episode.
I was like, just couldn't stop. They were like potato chips.
Yeah, one of the next one, one of the next one. Yeah.
They were coming out with new episodes. Like I thought I was done.
I thought it was done. But then when I go on my Discovery
wherever it is, it shows you, it goes new, it shows new,
new episode. So then I was going to watch it. I think
I finished the season. Though, I think I finished it. I think
it's done because it had a big thing at the end of it that was
like, over the course of this show, we arrested this many people and
they kind of went back and told you where everybody was. Yes, yes,
yes, so good, isn't it. It's just fascinating. I mean
it's fast, it is fascinating. Yeah, it's a fascinating how many of
these guys kind of get away with it, though I know how few people
actually spend any time in jail right for these crimes, right full on going
after I mean, you know, twelve year old what about there was one
guy who was like really interested in babies, remember oh I now, and
he was like, do you think your friend he was like, he was
like, do you have any friends that are like babies? And she's like,
well, I have a friend who's too. Yeah. He's like,
do you think she'd let me change your diaper? Huh? And then so
they had to create a AI image of a baby, right because I couldn't
use a real baby as a real picture of it, right, Yeah what
a creep? Yeah, And then the guy was like, oh, yeah,
she's she'd be great, Like do you think she'd want to hang out?
Like, oh yeah, like a two year old wants babies cool?
Right? And the mom's just gonna be cool with the two Yeah yeah,
what the fuck? Yeah, bring your friends, we'll all hang out.
Like how is she gonna go? Like? Can I borrow your baby?
Right? Like? And did you see the one guy that was meeting up
with her? And he basically just had a disgusting truck with tons of trash
and razors and knives and duct tape. And she was like this wasn't would
have been a real like put you in the car, take you away,
and rape your thing. Yeah, and kill you probably kill you probably yeah,
yeah, and I The otherwise were more like trying to wine and dine
them. You know. It was funny because John is usually very squeamish about
these things, but he was like couldn't get it. He was just like,
is there another one? And I'm like, yeah, it's gonna roll
into that. He's like, show me, like because he came in late,
so it was like, is there do you have a favorite? I'm
like, well, that's weird, like a favorite episode of like a Pedophile,
A pedophile, like my favorite pedophile. And I was like, well
I kind of do. And I showed him the Diaper Guy episode, right
yeah, and John was just like, oh, you know when I watched
a lot of this on my birthday, Happy birthday step but it was like,
what a great way to spend my birthday. I laid around in bed
because of my foot the whole day and just watched one episode after another.
Yeah, that's the best. I'm like eight candy. And then I went
out for dinner with Elbie and with Sadie and Xander and John and me and
Elbi and Elbie's boyfriend. Really yeah, well, let's do let's do it
on. Then let's talk about what you did for your birthday. Okay,
let's talk about something really fun. Loumi Labs. Loumi Lab microdose. I've
been taking the THHC microdose. The which one was it that we that we
talked about, Well, we there's the microdose and then there's also a stronger
one, Kaitlin, you're taking the stronger one sometimes, right, Yeah,
I like to take the stronger one just to relax at the end of the
day after I do all my pawn work and I'm gone all day and I'm
tired and I don't want to do anything, and it's at night, and
yeah, yes, I do the THHC microdose and it's the lesser it's the
very less weak version, right, and I am moving up to a full
one. I started with a half a gummy now because it just it just
takes away all like the heaviness of feeling, of that anxiousness at the end
of the day. And then I noticed I sleep so much better, Like
I put I go into a really deep sleep, I don't wake up.
It's been great. I love it. And it's microdose is available nationwide,
by the way, and you can learn more about microdosing thc. If you
go to microdose dot com and use the code FCL, you'll get free shipping
and thirty percent off your first order. So and also links can be found
in the show description. But again that's microdose dot com and the code is
FCL. So this was kind of funny. After so we went to dinner
at this place that I really like, this fish place, and then when
it came home. It's called King's Fish House in cal Basis. Ever been
there? No, but I know somebody that goes out all time. Oh
you do, yeah, somebody you like? Yeah? Well, I just
it's a really good restaurant. Anyway, came home, had some cake,
and then me and Elbie and the twins and Elbie's boyfriend played Cards against Humanity?
You ever play that? Never? I've never played You've never played it?
But it's filthy, Yeah, that's what I hear. Yeah, it's
filthy. I mean, like, for instance, so you know, it's
like Apples to Apples, which I don't know if you've played that either.
So they give you a card and it's like, um, you know,
I don't know. My favorite song on the radio is Blank Loves Blank or
whatever, and then you have to you get all these answer cards and then
you pick which card you want to put in that will be funny going with
the question in cards, okay, and then the person whose turn it is
reads the so you read the question again, whatever it is. I went
to the store because I was trying to find some uh, some potatoes,
but instead I used astro gel. Right, So then you put in your
card for astro gel, you know, a racist cop or whatever. But
some of the cards are just like when your dick runs out of seman or
something like really really dirty. And then as a mom, you have to
be like, well, when I was in my twenties, that would have
been hilarious, is it? How funny is it when you're playing with your
fifteen year old now right now? Embarrassing? But like you don't want to
be uncool either because the kids think it's It's like the kids find it cringe
halfway between cringe and kind of cool funny that you're not like you you have
to be really cool. Yeah, Like, no matter what it is,
you have to just be like not even laugh or not go like, oh,
I can't put this card down, this is disgusting, Like you have
to just be like put it down and then and then you gotta stay cool.
Yeah, and then if it's like sometimes you'll put in the grossest card
and the person will pick it, and then I'll be like, then you
raise your hand like that was mine because and then the kids will be like,
mom, I'm like, well it went with the question the right.
I'm a writer and I tell jokes, and so why not. I can't
decide if it's like something I never want to do again, or if it
was kind of funny. That sounds fun though, I think that's fun.
Yeah, yeah, so um yeah, And I mean the kids are funny
and they're you know, what they're doing this week is Groundlings week? Yeah?
What's that? What is ground Like? They go and every day every
day, Sadie going, Sadie's going too, so and they have this friend
so, oh my gosh, this is so funny. So Xander made this
friend the last time he was at Groundlings. Um, and she's super sweet
girl. And she lives though far. She lives like deep in Orange County.
I believe is Lake Forest passed Long Beach. Yeah, it's real,
That's where I play it. Okay, it's like getting close to San Clemente,
Yeah, where I had to work with that stupid doctor for a while.
Yeah. So she lives freaking far. So I suggested they're really good
friends with her, and the parents are super nice. I mean I couldn't
pick them out of a lineup, but I met them one time at the
Groundlings. And then they will sometimes drop her off, and then they'll drop
her off somewhere and then like just waste time like in the city so she
can hang out with her friends, and then they'll come back and get her,
which is really nice, nice something we would totally do. Yeah,
So John took Xander to go see her for her birthday. I drove like
basically to sant Lamente to and was an hour late because it was way further
than he even thought it would be, and then farther than he thought it
would be anyway. And then John went and like had to like waste time
and he ended up because he was having so much fun and he just kept
texting like I'm sorry, but like now we're driving to like Laguna Beach,
and so John was such a trooper. Yeah, he just kept texting me
and he was like, well, I'm on hour four, you know,
And he was just like hanging out in a car in a parking lot.
Like it's kind of what I would do for volleyball. Yeah, I would
just go and but but I had this stupid TESTO would run out of battery
by time I got there. I'd have fine a place to sit and charge
it up. Anyway, in between her games, I'm hanging out with the
moms and stuff. So I go sit in the car and just killed time
yea in the podcast and just wait. And then she texts me we're playing
again. I go into like, yeah, I get it. I go
to a subway and sitting around like just killed time. I know. I
told him at one point, because he was going to be a while because
they had driven to the beach, I was like, why don't you go
see a movie? Yeah, and he's like, oh, that's fine,
it'll probably be soon. And it wasn't. It was he was down there
from like three o'clock to like nine o'clock or something. It was insane,
or like four to ten whatever it was. It was like six hours.
Yeah, just sitting in the car. But anyway, the point of telling
you that was that there, I love this girl, I love this friendship
and they're all doing IMPROV, and I was like, why don't you just
invite her to sleep over one night? So Improv is every day from like
one thirty to three thirty, So it's like, why don't we just take
her home, have her parents drop her at Improv and they go home,
and then we take her home from We take her to our house, she
sleeps over, yeah, like hangs out, and then we bring her back
to IMPROV the next day, and her parents could pick her up the next
perfect right after Improv. So then yesterday Xander's like, yeah, her parents
like that idea so much. We want to see if we can do two
nights. I was just gonna say why one night? Why I stop there?
Well, I you know what, And Xander was like, is there
any way we could do that? And I was like why. Yeah.
It reminds me of the old days where I would tell you I love being
the house that like the kids all come to our house. Remember when I
had those neighbors that lived across the street that we're always like coming to our
house and going through our pantry, right, And I was like, yeah,
I Karen, it's summertime, that's what they do, Like yeah,
yes, and why I have to waste all that driving back and forth.
Right, So she's gonna come, I believe, like on So this is
Friday, so basically today she's going home. So she's gonna come. Remember
we recorded this earlier in the week. She's coming home with us on Wednesday,
so her parents will drop her off and she's gonna stay Wednesday night.
We'll take her to improv on Thursday. She'll come home with us, say
Thursday night, and then we'll take her improv and then her parents will come
pick her up from there. It's perfect. I know. I love that
her parents are probably like, thank the Lord. I mean, I love
being able to help them out. I think they're like doing the Lord's work
by driving her so far every day to do an activity she likes. Yeah,
but yeah, also we can help out. And also it'll just be
fun for the kids, like a friend for two days. Yeah. Straight.
So they're both friends with her. So Xander was friends with her originally
because he met her doing improv, but then she came over. They all
went to the grove. One day. They all went to this shopping place
and Xander brought Sadie to meet her, and apparently they had a great time
all together, and so now they're all doing improv. That's great, it's
great. I love that. I know her summer is all about. Yeah,
and my kids are doing so little this summer that I'm like, anyway
I can make this week more memorable. Yeah, yeah, I was going
to take them somewhere, but like my waking food, right, I can't
take them on a trip right now. Yeah, my kids are doing just
fine on their own. Dird Like, you know, Natalia is going to
Laguna Beach, she's with her friend. Then she's going to Lake Arrowhead with
you know, Sonny is like Sonny's hanging out with these like six of his
friends and each one is like out of town. This was so he always
has somebody that they're hanging out. Sonny's very close to getting his full on
license, thank god. What's the date? Um, he has one more
lesson that he has to take with the dude and then he can go and
we can make a can make an appointment and take him and then his driver.
His teacher is just such a hippie dippy dude. It's hilarious. Um,
but he like he's now like he likes the guy, but like him
and Sonny and his friends went to Malibu for to his dad's like on the
fourth and I get a phone call, like on their way they got stranded.
They his friend hit something and something was dragging on the bottom of the
car. So they were like on their way to Malibo for Fourth of July
to meet their dad, Adam. And so they called me and he's like,
do you think we could borrow your car? And it's like, no,
what the what? And I said, tell you Franandre to call his
dad. His dad is a dude, like he should be over to come,
you know. So anyway, long story short, he had this whole
fiasco. But yeah, they've been driving around, you know, their parents'
cars. He's been driving. I've been taking him for drives, like every
night when I'm with him. It's been fun, but yeah, I can't
wait. And then, um, I can't wait for them to drive like
they need to have you know, I'm constantly taking to Talia to like Pasadena
for her Berri's boot camp. Then I get sucked into doing it right,
which is good for me, but right, but yes, she can't get
She didn't get her permit until more recently because he took he got his his
permit before her, Right, she took three times to get to get it,
right, He took once, I think, and he got it.
So yeah, so that's why he's he's eligible. But she's going to be
eligible in a couple when when school starts, so it'll be nice. If
they're under eighteen, they have to have a permit for six months, right,
yeah, right, right, so then he's had their permit at fifteen
and a half. Yeah, so my kids, one of them that has
completed the permit, has completed the applicant you know, yeah, has their
certificate, but they have to go past the learners protest. I have to
go in and bring proof of the address and all that stuff. And then
the other one, which is Xander, hasn't hasn't taken it, like is
signed up and for the online course, but hasn't done anything yet, right
right, he's being lazy. Yeah, I'm like, just do it so
I can bring you guys both at the same time. Yeah, that would
be nice. That would mean that's what I was trying to do. But
Sonny wasn't ready yet. She was trying to you know, they were just
at two different times. But it's getting there. They're getting there. Yeah,
you have to bring so much stuff. You have to bring their birth
certificate, yeah, the drivers and then at one point I had to co
backed when I took the taliat. There was so much fiasco with her.
I don't know why. I had to go back and get my marriage license
because of something, because I don't know, and so I had to get
the marriage I can go back. It was just a like, yeah,
you have to bring proof of where you live. They're like where they go
to school or something. Well that's what I brought. And then yeah,
well, like you could bring a report card because you have to bring something
that has their name, address, and data birth all on the same reform,
right, so like it could be a doctor's bill, it could be
a medical thing, but it has to be you know, it could be
a bank statement, I think, but like I think. I remember I
brought extra stuff for LB because I was like in case they don't accept something,
right, Yeah, So I had her like report card and a medical
thing and this and like her school ide and like yeah it's a pain,
Yeah, it is a pain. But once they have their license home free,
yeah, except then they need a car. Then they need a car.
Yeah, but like I let I would let let them take my car
like that, they have a dentist appointment. Our dentist is right up the
streets, closer than Starbucks. So I would be like, take my car
and go to the dentist. Yeah, it's right there, or walk Sonny
walks. Actually, yeah, do you think you're going to get a car
for them to share? They have one now that there's that Adam has been
driving, so he's going to give them that car, okay, and then
Sonny's probably gonna get it first. Oh okay, yeah, then they're gonna
have to share. Yeah cool, all right. Well, speaking of cars,
if you want a car and you want some help getting a car,
um, use my friend Adam Lerner. His phone numbers three one zero nine
