yeah, what's up with this Taylor
Swift and her foot like at the

32
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,280
at the game. Now it's all
I hear about, all right, Kaylyn,

33
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,400
go for it. Well, it's
really annoying because in fantasy football,

34
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:37,039
which I do with Sonny, which
I was on his podcast last week that

35
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,159
was very fun. I picked Travis
Kelsey as like my first guy, my

36
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,240
main guy, so you know he's
might was my first pick. And now

37
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,280
he's distracted by Taylor and my team's
in last place, and I hate it

38
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,560
and it's annoying. Oh really yeah, Oh I thought. I don't know.

39
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,280
I thought it was bringing a lot
of attention to the game, were

40
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,159
making them in. No, it
doesn't work like that. Now he's not

41
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,520
performing. Is he like, as
he's running up the field, is he

42
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:15,000
like Taylor over look at me.
Taylor has to be like, I see

43
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:20,400
you keep running, like how moms
are with their kids. Kids are like

44
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,400
yeah, waving and they're performing.
Now let me now I see you thumbs

45
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:30,919
up. Taylor has to give him
a thumbs up with her high falutin Hollywood

46
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,000
friends next door Ryan old Ryan Reynolds, still a babe, by the way,

47
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,759

50
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,199

they're like cheering. She's like cheering them

51
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,879

like she's like what this these like like

52
00:03:55,919 --> 00:04:00,199

54
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,960

00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,800
friends. Those are celebrities. Oh
like Lively, yes to her, Yeah,

56
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,960

00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Dawn with the brain and Kirstin.
Yeah. So but anyway, yeah,

58
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,519

control. But yeah, So over the

59
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,319
weekend, Sonny was talking to me
about them, about how that this the

60
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,759
merchandise has gone up four percent or
something. She's been like, she's good

61
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:41,600
for She's good for business. That
chick she is. Yah, God bless

62
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,839

64
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:57,439
day. Yeah. Yeah, so
we go to we leave and it's extremely

65
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,720
hot, you know when we get
there, which is but so you were

66
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,000
alone though I was alone a lot
of the time because no, but I

67
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,600
mean you flew in alone, right, because wasn't she already there? Was

68
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,120
there? She flew in the night
before. So then I get there and

69
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,160
and but I meet up with them, and immediately it's like we're going We're

70
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:20,040
going to some game, some party, whatever, because she's her friend.

71
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Her roommate is in a sorority.
She's already joined the sorority, and so

72
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,920
she's so because Natalia's friend, it
was a year older than her. Okay,

73
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:39,759
and she's already at that school.
Okay, she was. Okay,

74
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,480
So the mom of the other girl
was there, not the girl that's already

75
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,120
there, but another another girl,
a third girl, Yeah, a third

76
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,240
girl. And is the mom of
that girl a friend of yours? I

77
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,600
mean, so you didn't you weren't. It wasn't going to be like the

78
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,720
mom's doing their all the girls well, because they she's got an older sibling

79
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,600
that's that's uh, not at that
school, but another school. So she

80
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,199
brought her there, hung out with
us on a Friday night, and then

81
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:16,680
she left an early Saturday morning and
went to the siblings school. Oh purf.

82
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:21,079
Yeah, so so you know,
so Saturday, Yeah, so we

83
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,800
get in. Let me just say
something about Texas. First of all,

84
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,560
really nice people. But I went
outside, had a little smoke, sit

85
00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:38,079
down on in front of the hotel
on like it's not a planter because there's

86
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:43,759
no there's no plants, there's no
sand. It's just a ledge. Okay,

87
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,879
let's just call it a ledge.
So I was sitting I'm sitting outside

88
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:51,000
having a cigarette on the ledge,
had my purse down, I was on

89
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,160
the phone, chit chatting whatever.
I was there for like half an hour

90
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,160
probably, and then I get up
and I stand end up, I pick

91
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,160
up my purse and there's a cock
roach like the size of my hand,

92
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:11,680
like the size of a toddler's hand. It was huge. I took a

93
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,839
video of it with I think wings, but I wasn't sticking around to find

94
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:20,600
out, but just crawled out from
underneath my purse. Oh and now I'm

95
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,040
thinking, are they is it in
my hair? Did it lay eggs?

96
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,399
About? What's going on? Is
there more in my purse? I'm dumping

97
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,879
my purse out on the sideblock like
a crazy idiot. I'm like, I'm

98
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,480
I screamed. I was like,
and then you know when I don't know

99
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:38,040
if you ever scream and freak out
oh you're by yourself, yes, on

100
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,920
a street. Yeah, and people
look at you. And it's in front

101
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,000
of a busy hotel because I'm right
next to the valet guys pretty much like

102
00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:48,360
down a couple, you know,
feet and cars are coming out and I

103
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:53,120
look, I'm like, look like
a craze maniac. Anyway, so nice

104
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,000
to say. I ad not did
not sit down anywhere unless it was a

105
00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:01,680
chair, and even then I was
suspect it furred to me. I would

106
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,120
have been constantly like looking down at
my feet, crawling over me me too,

107
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:09,839
and I was like my hair constantly
like is it in my hair?

108
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:13,959
Is it in my purse? Because
it literally crawled out and I don't know

109
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,480
where it came from. There was
no cracks, no plant like I said,

110
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:24,040
there was no plants nothing. There
was just like event. And now

111
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,279
I'm like, are they in the
hotel? Does it have family insight?

112
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Is this the roach motel? Like
I was flipping out anyway, But yeah,

113
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,039
it was It was fun. I
was. I stayed in like downtown

114
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Fort Worth, I guess, and
there was purple banners of TCU everywhere.

115
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:48,159
They're calling TCAT well now they Italian
or friends are calling it uh at Texas

116
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,559
California University because it's like all these
like you know, tons of kids,

117
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,960
a lot of kids from our school, a lot of kids from California.

118
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:05,480
But it was really good learning a
learning uh uh experience for Natalia because she

119
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,559

122
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,639
then you meet the other you know, then you meet the other roommates,

123
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,039

00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,679
like was that's a big football school, so I would imagine that they sell

152
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:09,399
out fairly often, and depending on
the team that they're playing, I'd be

153
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:13,240
like, yeah, they're probably going
to sell out, right, So but

154
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,679
if your other girl probably knows she's
been a student there, she didn't know

155
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,519
anything, Like, but I don't
even know how they got it. I

156
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,559
was like, but like, if
you're a student, you guys, they

157
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,159
can get in or whatever. They
have have a student section whatever. But

158
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,279
like I was like, well,
how am I gonna get in? And

159
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,919
I want to ask the other moms. She left anyway, But I didn't

160
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,240
want to look like so I would
have been so out of it. I

161
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:41,039
would have just been like, you
guys have the best time. That's where

162
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,559
I was heading. I'll be having
dinner at my hotel. I was like,

163
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:46,960
I am not in the mood to
go to a hot ass sweaty with

164
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,279
all these college kids. No,
thank you, no. So, but

165
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,919
I had a feeling that they were
going to go and get like tired or

166
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,240
like, you know, I don't
I had a feeling that these girls are

167
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,559
just they're gonna go, but they're
not gonna want to stay for the whole

168
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,360
game. So I said, when
you get bored or when you're tired,

169
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:09,720
why don't you call me? And
then if you guys. But then the

170
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,080
game started at seven, so it
was like out the window. So I

171
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,399
wasn't going to the game. I
was, let's like call me after the

172
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:22,320
game. So I ended up walking
around Saturday late afternoon, just walking around

173
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:28,240
the town checking it out on my
phone. Went and had dinner at at

174
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,960
a stake place because I was I
didn't really texted you Saturday night. Yes,

175
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,200
I was in bed. I was
in bed by then. Really,

176
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,200
yeah, what time was it?
We went to bed early. I'm gonna

177
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,679
I'm gonna look right now. Yeah, I texted you at eight o'clock.

178
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,240
It was ten o'clock our time.
Oh true, Yeah, and we had

179
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,039
to get up early for a flight, so I texted you. This is

180
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:58,879
a quick interjection that at the wedding
that I was at, the furred the

181
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,360
dance between the girl who was getting
married and her dad, who's John's friend.

182
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:11,120
Uh played a Bruce Springsteen song for
their father daughter dance called when You

183
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,639
Need Me, And it was a
studio outtake from nineteen eighties, some deep

184
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,879
cut did you know the song?
I don't wait, what now? I

185
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,519
I can't remember what's the name of
the song? Again? When it's called

186
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,519
when you need name? Should I
play you a moment of it? I

187
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,639
think I know the song, but
I'm not. I'm not trying to see

188
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,120
it's on that It's on that album
tracks, which is his Deep cuts.

189
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:43,679
Oh yeah, I know this.
You know the song? Oh what wouldn't

190
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,960
be so pretty? What a nice
song to dance too? Yeah? Apparently

191
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:58,240
apparently the the girl it's a very
platonic song until like the last verse,

192
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,000
and then it has like a romantic
edge. So she had asked the DJ,

193
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:05,399
who was the worst wedding dj I
think I've ever encountered in my life.

194
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:09,960
She asked the wedding DJ to cut
before the last verse of the song.

195
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,519
Oh, he had one job,
which is to keep people on the

196
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,879
dance floor dancing, and to make
the and to do the thing that the

197
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:22,600
bride asked for, and he didn't. So it was getting kind of like

198
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,080
romantic out there. And I made
a joke to the one girl there was

199
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,840
John's college friend, and then another
college the only other college friend that was

200
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:37,919
there for the college friend's daughter's wedding
and his wife. So I was chatting

201
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,720
with her and I was like,
wouldn't it be crazy if, like Chris,

202
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:46,720
that's the college friend and the girl
Emily, what if they just started

203
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:52,360
making out? Like and then we
were laughing so hard as just the idea

204
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,720
that they just start kissing and nobody
knows what to do, and then it's

205
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,639
like would we all storm out and
would be like that's the sky sting?

206
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960
And then this the girl Chris who
I was talking to, was like,

207
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,279
I know, or would we all
be just too invested at this point,

208
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,000
like the way we've already sat through
for the vows, Like would we all

209
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:16,200
just be like, I guess they're
just really close, Like we were having

210
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,919
so much fun with this train of
thought. I love that. Yeah.

211
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,240
And I was like, and then
we'd probably knowing me, I'd be like,

212
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,840
wow, I mean, you guys
made out and then they try to

213
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:30,080
gaslight us. What are you talking
about? No, we didn't were talking

214
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,759
about like we were just whispering.
She whispered in my ear, and no,

215
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,519
I saw I saw you guys.
No we didn't. You're sick.

216
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:41,440
You're a sick person. That's what
you do at weddings, I was trying

217
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:48,120
to entertain myself. I get it. It was bored. Yeah, yeah,

218
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,600
okay, all right, so you
go back to your you go back

219
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:52,840
to your room. You could talk
from the town. So I was,

220
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,879
I went and had dinner. I
just like sat somewhere and had dinner by

221
00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:02,360
myself, which is which was interesting
in its own. So I'm sitting at

222
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:07,320
I walk into this restaurant. It's
like five o'clock and it's, you know,

223
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,440
starting to get busy, and I
don't have a reservation or anything,

224
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,440
and so I was like, I'll
just sit at the bar. So I

225
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,639
and I was like, can I
eat dinner at the bar? Sure?

226
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,919
So this the bartender, the sean, he was like uh. He's like

227
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:26,279
He's like, he gives me the
menu and I'm looking at it and I'm

228
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:30,120
thinking, I'm just gonna get like
a salad and appetizer and he's like,

229
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:33,840
girl, he goes, we have
lamb chops that are not on the menu.

230
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,440
And I was like, oh,
I'm gonna I'm gonna get that because

231
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,399
Wendy makes good lamb chops. And
I was so I got that. But

232
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,720
then so I'm sitting there and I'm
listening to all these even though I'm listening

233
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:47,759
to my podcast. I'm listening to
all these people come in and they're talking

234
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:51,480
about is their table ready? And
they're being There's a Karen that's like I,

235
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:53,919
I, you know, she's already
ragging on her friend that hasn't shown

236
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,360
up yet. But I told her
that we're supposed to be here at five

237
00:16:57,519 --> 00:17:02,639
thirty, but the resuva is really
at five, you know, like uh

238
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:07,079
or the vice versa. She's like
so that she's not light you know she's

239
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,759
doing She's telling her she's already ratting
her friend. Reverse psychology. Yeah,

240
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,160
yeah, And I wanted to people
do that to me too, don't rag

241
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,319
on your friend. And then you
know, and then there's the other couple.

242
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,680
So then they leave and go sit
their table. Then there's the other

243
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,799
couple that comes up and and they're
they're waiting for their table for dinner.

244
00:17:26,279 --> 00:17:30,920
They don't say two words to each
other. They're sitting there ten minutes they

245
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,799
I swear to God, not a
peep. I didn't even really I didn't

246
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,039
I know they were together, but
I was just like I wanted to.

247
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,079
I wanted to like be involved in
everybody's conversations, like so what so how

248
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,599
is your day? Like hello,
Like they're not speaking to each other,

249
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:49,559
and I'm thinking to myself, I'm
like, all these scenarios. Are they

250
00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:55,000
gotten a huge fight, but they
already had reservations, Maybe they're already meeting

251
00:17:55,079 --> 00:18:00,400
friends like blah blah blah whatever.
Then and and then I'm saying and then

252
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,319
I'm sitting there and uh, I
get my lamb chops and then these three

253
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,039
girls come up. There's only two
seats. I'm at the end of the

254
00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:12,119
bar where the bar turns, and
then there's two seats there right on the

255
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,200
turn right. So there's three girls
and they just PLoP down like like their

256
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:23,680
purse, like right by my bread, like no no awareness of space,

257
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,359
you know, and so I'm like
shoving my Anyway, it was it was

258
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,160
really interesting. So I'm sitting there
while Natalian her friend are at the game,

259
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:37,960
and and then I just go walk
around and then I posted a picture

260
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,279

261
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,599

the restaurant. Then you can pick up

303
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:44,200

I get a text from Natalia. Of

304
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,519
course in the middle of the game, I'm tired. I'm gonna come back

305
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,319
to the hotel and I'm starving.
Maybe I can order room service. And

306
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,039
I was like, I knew it
mean I had a nice dinner by myself.

307
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,119
But I was like, great,
yeah, come on, come on

308
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,000
on back. Because we had to
get up early. We had a we

309
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:04,599
had a flight. Wasn't that early. A flight was like ten thirty,

310
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,640
but you know, getting getting to
the airport and all that, and of

311
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,680
course in Itali has got to check
her. I gotta teach us girl how

312
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,519
to travel. I mean, she's
got like big thing of face wash.

313
00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,720
Oh no, I know, like, come on, so she has to

314
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:21,319
check her luggage all the time.
I'm like, I gotta, I gotta

315
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,200
get her, like she's gonna be
traveling back and forth. She's gonna need

316
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,279
to anyway. So did she like
the school. She loved it. She

317
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,599
I mean, you know, I
don't want her heart, you know,

318
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,440
I don't want her to get her
hopes up. And she knows that,

319
00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:41,039
but she might do the early decision
to that to tcuh okay, you know,

320
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,519
she's like she her heart was set
on going to Florida to school,

321
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:51,640
but I don't, you know,
And I'm like, Florida, well it's

322
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:56,319
far second of all. It's like
Florida, you know. And uh,

323
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,839
I know, like you know,
Antie Wendy's out there and stuff, but

324
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,759
whatever, like she's not there all
the time, and Texas is so close.

325
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,279
It was really like two and a
half hour flight on the way out,

326
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,119
three hour flight back. It was
oh god, and the flight on

327
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,839
the way back. Yes, The
bottom line was she loved it. She

328
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,000
really, she really likes it.
And the fact that she's got a lot

329
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:25,240
of friends, family like other like
older siblings of kids that she knows they're

330
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:29,759
there. So she really loved it. Yeah, I hope. I mean,

331
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:33,480
well, we'll see what happens.
We're gonna go. I'm taking Sonny

332
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:38,079
to Colorado later this month. Okay, So now I gotta take Sonny out

333
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:47,200
and to take him to Boulder.
Yeah, and I think Colorado University as

334
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,599
well. With he's got so he's
got his friend who's going with his dad.

335
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,279
So I'm gonna be like hanging out
with a dad. So I'm I'd

336
00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:00,640
like to take Natalia with me so
that I have her, you know,

337
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,920
but like as a you know,
traveling partner. But we'll see. So

338
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:12,400
yeah, coming back from we were
in the very last seat, I know,

339
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:17,160
the very last, the second to
last row on the airplane. Natalia

340
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:22,960
was smashed in next to the window. And she's very claustrophobic. Like Sonny

341
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:26,039
is the easiest guy to travel with. Easy is everything to be with Natalia,

342
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,440
No, not so much. And
if she's uncomfortable, she's gonna let

343
00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:33,960
me know, not anybody else but
me, and everything's my problem. And

344
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:40,400
her phone somehow malfunction was malfunctioning,
and now we got to get it fixed,

345
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,599
and now that's my problem. But
like the only time her phone would

346
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,519
work over the weekend is if it
was fully charged, and even then it

347
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:53,039
would shut off all of a sudden, then come back on and then and

348
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,920
then it's probably full and then have
like a forty percent charge. I don't

349
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,279
know what the hell is going on
with it, but it's fucked up.

350
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:03,880
And that's not the time for her
phone to malfunction while we're traveling, yeah,

351
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,039
exactly. Then she's texting me from
the game from her friend's phone.

352
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,880
This is my friend's phone. Oh
my god. Well I have anxiety just

353
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,640
hearing about that. Yeah, because
now I don't know where she is.

354
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,160
At first it said that her phone
shut off and she was at the dorm,

355
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,599
but I know she's not there.
She's at the game, like it

356
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,200
was just okay, So anyway,
so we're at the airport. She can't

357
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,559
wait to get on the plane,
settle in so that she can, right,

358
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,240
So we get we're the last to
get on. We're a group A

359
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:34,880
eight. Okay, I don't even
know they went up that high. Yeah,

360
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,440
eight. We were a group F. So that's like six group,

361
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:44,279
the sixth group, sixth group yeah, you were Southwest Alaska, Alaska.

362
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,640
Yeah, we were American. So
we get on and like on the flight

363
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,720
out, I had a very nice, relaxing flight that was half full.

364
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,640
Did you fly out of Burbank Burbank, Yes, we flew out of Burbank

365
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,880
as well. Were you at Burbank
yesterday? Yeah, but we we flew

366
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,480
back in late at night, not
late at night, but yeah we are

367
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,559
are yeah, like eight o'clock at
night our yeah, okay, yeah,

368
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:12,400
so we we got in like at
noon yesterday. But so we're on the

369
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:18,079
okay, so we're in the last
row. We sit down and it's a

370
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:22,160
packed flight, packed, and she's
at the window. I'm in the middle.

371
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,160
Of course, there's a guy watching
Breaking bad next to me, nice

372
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:30,759
enough guy, quiet, and she's
like. The first thing she does,

373
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,119
pulls the thing the charger out to
plug it in. It's not working.

374
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,920
The outlet's not working. Okay,
so that's on the seat outlet. Then

375
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,480
there's another outlet at the bottom where
you can put with the prongs you plug

376
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,440
it in. Doesn't work, And
I'm looking around at the other aisles.

377
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,559
Everybody's outlets are lit blue except for
our row. Our three are dead as

378
00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:59,200
a doornail. Oh no, and
no phone on the flight on a three

379
00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:03,519
hour flight with a kid, like
a teenager. And also I was like,

380
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:04,880
you have your earbuds right, so
you can because I was like,

381
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,759
the bitch better might be trying to
take my earbuds. She's like, and

382
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:11,640
I go out, your earbuds charge. That's one of the reasons why I

383
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:17,079
didn't answer you because the night before
she left out, she thought she left

384
00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:19,160
her charger, but she had it. But she's using my charger to plug

385
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,839
her phone all night. So I
had my phone on off pretty much for

386
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,799
a lot, you know, most
of the night, so she was charging.

387
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:29,920
So I saw your thing like in
the middle of the night in the

388
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,359
dark. So anyway, so she
plugs it in. It's not working and

389
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:40,200
there's everything's dead, and she's like, come on. And then we're on

390
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:45,720
the runway and we're sitting there for
like almost an hour before we take off

391
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,079
because we're in line. We're in
line, right, And then the worst

392
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,920
thing is the pilot doesn't really say
anything either. He doesn't give an update,

393
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,200
you know. I I like,
the pilotic is an update, you

394
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,559
know, We're just sitting there and
he's like I'm like just And finally the

395
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680
steward this was like, you know, now where we're in line, you

396
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,880
know, I can't see anything because
Natalia closes the shade because the sun is

397
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,559
beaming on her. She's a very
she runs hot, so in the hotel

398
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,680
she has to put the air on
blast and I'm freezing and she's like,

399
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,119
I love I love the cold.
I love She's like her dad, I

400
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,759
love sleeping in the cold. I
love the cold. So now we're on

401
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:26,440
the airplane. The air she's constantly
like fussing with the air vents above us.

402
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,400
She's opening, she called she's open, and she's push but but like

403
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:32,640
you know, and I'm like,
Natalia, and you can do that all

404
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,119
day long. It's not gonna get
any colder. And on top of it,

405
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,880
she's wearing sweatpants and a and a
hoodie and a tank top of course,

406
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,680
so she's like, course yeah,
And she's like aren't you hot?

407
00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:47,680
And I was like no, And
she's like she's like, why aren't we

408
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,440
taking off? What's going on?
What am I gonna do this whole I'm

409
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,720
I'm thinking too, what are we
gonna do on this whole trip? With

410
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,559
no freaking phone? Nothing to look
at but the back of a seat.

411
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:03,319
Well, could she use her air
bud air pods to and watch something on

412
00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:08,759
your phone with you? I no, I mean she could have, but

413
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:15,000
we my earbuds were barely working.
I had them charged, but one earbud

414
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,680
goes out all the time. I
don't know what's with earbuds. Everybody seems

415
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,759
to have this problem. I don't
know if it's because of the iOS update

416
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,759
or something, but my earbuds kept
anyways, So I was like, Okay,

417
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440
I didn't know. I thought I
knew it was a packed flight,

418
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,279
but there's gotta be other seats and
I want her. I want her out

419
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:37,279
of this seat, like she's driving
me nuts. So after we get up

420
00:29:37,319 --> 00:29:41,880
in the air, Oh, and
the people behind us is a mom had

421
00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:45,319
with like two toddlers and the seat
next to her and they're just like kicking

422
00:29:45,359 --> 00:29:49,079
Italia's seat kicking, which in Italia
that part didn't bother her, but for

423
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:55,240
me I was I was like,
I'm having heart palpitations because she's so like,

424
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,720
it's hot, Why are we taking
up? What am I doing my

425
00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:00,680
phone? I'm thinking, Oh I
wanted to do was watch Love Is Blind

426
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:06,480
on this fucking flight. So yeah, I'm like three episodes, boom,

427
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,880
we'll be home, like it's all
I wanted to do. And she's like,

428
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,200
got nothing, there's no, there's
no what happened? Did she ever

429
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:15,680
get? So I get up.
So we get up in the air and

430
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,039
I say like, can we get
a seat? Is there a seat available

431
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,880
for her? There's one empty seat
and it's row twenty three, and so

432
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,720
she goes to look at it and
she comes right back. And later on

433
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:32,720
when I saw it, it was
like two huge guys, one's on the

434
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:34,799
on each end. She would be
in the middle of two. So she's

435
00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:37,480
like no. Then we get back. She gets back to the seat.

436
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,519
The mom behind us, being a
mom, thank God, comes to the

437
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:45,720
rescue and she was like, you
can use you can just give me your

438
00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:48,559
charger and just I'll plug it into
the back of my seat. Oh done,

439
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Like thank you, thank you,
Oh my God, like I can

440
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,319
breathe. Yes, thanks to moms, thanks us, moms, our problem

441
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,000
solvers. Right, So yeah,
because I was like, what do we

442
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,759
get? So she plugged in her
phone, thank god. And then and

443
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:10,160
then as soon as we take off, it's freezing on the flying So yeah,

444
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:14,440
but all in all, It was
a great trip and I'm I'm looking

445
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,079
forward to going with Sonny. That's
all I have to say. That's fun.

446
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,960
I am like an anxious traveler.
Yeah, but it was kind of

447
00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:30,119
nice because I was with John and
we left on Friday morning, so it's

448
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,240
just you and John. Yeah,
who was with the kids? Just them?

449
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:37,720
So Elby called off of work for
Saturday, so she was home all

450
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,400
So here's what happened. What happened. We drove the kids to school on

451
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:48,680
Friday, got people, walked,
got our stuff, LB drove us to

452
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:55,279
the airport Burbank. Then we left. Then Elbi was Lby picked up the

453
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:59,640
kids from school, brought him home
and then she went to work until ten

454
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:05,200
third and they like door dashed themselves
dinner. And Xander's been so good.

455
00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:10,400
He's he is so responsible. He
was like the mom the family. He

456
00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:15,240
stepped up. He walked. He
did like almost all the dog walks,

457
00:32:15,799 --> 00:32:20,400
so he walked people at night,
and then the whole next day Elbie was

458
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,640
home with them. They didn't really
do that much, but they you know

459
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:31,039
whatever, they ate food and and
then Sunday Xander walked people in the morning

460
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,039
and then Elbie had a double shift
at work, so she basically left them

461
00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:38,920
home all day and neither of them
could find anybody to like come over and

462
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,400
hang out with them. Sadie was
trying so hard to like find a friend

463
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:49,319
to come over. Apparently nobody was
willing or could or available to socialize with

464
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,119
them, so they were just home
the whole weekend. But they're pretty good

465
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:58,599
kids, get this. Xander cleaned
the house. Wow, he walked the

466
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,079
dog, he fed the dog,
and he cleaned the house. He cleaned

467
00:33:01,119 --> 00:33:05,519
the kitchen floor, he cleaned the
kitchen, he cleaned the living room.

468
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:07,759
We came home to like a clean
house. Oh my god. We were

469
00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:10,319
making so many jokes with them about
like, oh, did you guys have

470
00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:15,000
a party. But here's the funny
thing about Elbie is that like John and

471
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,559
I were laughing on the way out
because we were such worse kids than like

472
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,920
our kids, which is just it's
just weird how that happened, because I

473
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,519
didn't give a fuck, Like my
parents left me alone for the weekend and

474
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:31,759
I immediately tried to get into my
house. I told my parents, said,

475
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:36,359
you have to find somewhere to listen. We're both wrong in this scenario.

476
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,640
My parents wouldn't leave me in the
house because they didn't trust me,

477
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:43,960
and I guess with good reason,
because I had I had told friends,

478
00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:45,559
like, hey, my parents are
going to be out of town. But

479
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:49,599
they had told me, you have
to find somewhere to stay. But I

480
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,240
was like, they have no business
farming me out to some unsuspecting you know,

481
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,599
friend's mom's house for the weekend.
Like you can't do that. So

482
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,079
in my mind, I'm like,
okay, sure, cool. And then

483
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:05,759
I was like, and then I'll
just go in my house and sleep in

484
00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:08,239
my bed, like over the weekend. I'm not going to do anything really

485
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,719
wrong, except the only thing I
was going to do is just have like

486
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,960
a couple of friends come over with
alcohol. You know, That's all that

487
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:19,880
was the plan. I know,
I've told you this story before. So

488
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,679
I show up with my friends and
they had locked they locked the door,

489
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:27,440
they double locked the door. So
it's a key I don't have. They've

490
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,079
locked the back door. I can't
I can't get in the house. So

491
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:36,320
but now it's me, Plus I've
got some friends and nowhere to stay,

492
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,360
by the way, so I decided
that I'm going to climb in a bathroom

493
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:45,639
window. This was before people didn't
have alarms. We live in a palace.

494
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Yeah, yeah, there's no ring. Yeah, so you know,

495
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:54,159
all's good. I have to climb
up though, to the second story to

496
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:59,559
get into the bathroom window because the
that's the only one that I knew was

497
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:04,840
unlocked. I get up there,
get the window open. One of my

498
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:10,079
freaking nay nay nosy neighbors comes around. Oh, I get in the house.

499
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:15,079
I opened the front door. Let
my friends in neighbor comes over to

500
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:22,199
the house. Stephanie, you're not
supposed to be here, and I was

501
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,920
like, what what are you talking
about? This is my house here,

502
00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:29,000
I live here. And they're like, yeah, well your parents gave us

503
00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:34,320
explicit instructions to make sure that you're
not here, which again we're both wrong.

504
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,039
Hey, they did say you're not
allowed in the house and be because

505
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:40,760
they didn't trust me, and b
I wasn't that trustworthy. So I was

506
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,920
in the house. So then I
have to leave. I don't even remember.

507
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:50,000
Oh I think that was. That
was the weekend where I went to

508
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:53,679
DC. I went. I ran
away from home. Basically I was like

509
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,800
fuck them. I was really upset. Yeah, and then I went to

510
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,599
go visit my friend. I called
my friend Cathy, and she was like,

511
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:05,079
come to DC, and I was
like, okay, and I'm gonna

512
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,000
go to DC and I'm never coming
home. Fuck my parents, they're horrible

513
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:15,360
people. So I fly nosy Nancy
neighbor, I take a train to DC

514
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:19,639
and then I told you this,
And then I got a job, Like

515
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,400
I literally got a waitressing job because
I was like, I had spent all

516
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,559
my money on the train to go
there, so now I'm like, well,

517
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,079
I'm not money to get home.
Man, got myself a job.

518
00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:31,760
I was like sixteen, Yeah,
but you have to be twenty one to

519
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,480
work at this place because and they
served alcohol. But to start training,

520
00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:39,519
they didn't ask for I D or
anything. They're just like, okay,

521
00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:45,519
you know, so I shadow for
the first couple of days. The day

522
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:50,800
that I'm supposed to work my first
real shift, I work my shift.

523
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,119
I make a little money enough to
like get my train ticket home. But

524
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,079
at the end of my shift,
they're like, okay, now we have

525
00:36:58,119 --> 00:37:00,960
to officially do your paperwork, so
you have to show ID showing that you're

526
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:06,119
twenty one. And I was like, oh yeah about that. I lost

527
00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,599
my driver's license and they're like mmmm, And I was like, but I

528
00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:13,360
am. I assure you that I'm
twenty one, and they're like, no,

529
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,239
but we have we have to do
official paperwork. So in order to

530
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,440
put you on the payroll so you
can get paid, right, we have

531
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,119
to have your idea. And I
was like I didn't think about that.

532
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:27,000
Yeah, so I was like,
okay, never mind. So I and

533
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:29,920
at that point I was like,
what am I going to do live here

534
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,599
with no money? And also I
think I told you this. My friend

535
00:37:34,679 --> 00:37:37,039
Kathy was one of these things where
she was two years older than me,

536
00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:42,159
I believe, or maybe a year
older than me, but also one of

537
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:46,079
these super smart kids who had graduated
early. So I was probably a junior

538
00:37:46,119 --> 00:37:50,239
in high school at this time.
Yeah, yeah, I was, and

539
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,760
she was like first year. She
was going to like George Washington, I

540
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,800
don't know, some good school at
Georgetown, some good school out there,

541
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:05,320
and had overnight become very ry,
like want to be sophisticated. Like suddenly

542
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,480
she had all these friends that were
like black turtlenecks and they drank. Somebody

543
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,920
had an espresso machine back in the
day, and I was like, who

544
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,559
are you? Who are you people? Like, I didn't give a fun

545
00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:19,400
I was just like I want to
get drunk, right, I want to

546
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,920
listen to music, like they were
like, let's listen to classical music.

547
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,679
I was like these people, and
she was insufferable in my mind. In

548
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,639
my mind, I was like,
oh my god, these posers that are

549
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:35,960
like getting together to discuss authors,
who are you? Beat Nicks? Did

550
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,719
I ever tell you the story about
I had gone to visit this same girl,

551
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:44,440
Kathy in New York. She was
so I had this friend who was

552
00:38:45,079 --> 00:38:49,519
very rich, and we used to
I know, I've told this story that

553
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:52,960
we used to go play Donkey Kong
for like, we would skip school,

554
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:55,719
go to lunch at this country club
and charge it to her dad's charge card.

555
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,960
It was the best times. And
we thought we were We would order

556
00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:04,480
like three tabs, you know,
diet diet, sat us in a row.

557
00:39:04,599 --> 00:39:07,320
But like we thought we were just
like so extravagant. But I went

558
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,039
to go visit her in New York
one time and she we go to go

559
00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:17,559
out, and she's wearing this hat
with like a giant feather, like a

560
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:22,119
really long feather. Now you gotta
understand I'm younger than she is, and

561
00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:27,800
just I'm a teenager. And it
was very cringey. Was this when like

562
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
roach clips were in, like those
feathery No, this was like when you

563
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:34,880
put in your hair. No,
this was like she thought she was going

564
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,440
to like the Kentucky Derby. It
was eight ats like that to begin with,

565
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:44,320
so embarrassing and also just in my
mind, it was like a big

566
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:50,320
neon sign the attracting attention to both
of us, very unwanted attention. So

567
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,440
I was like, oh my god, my skin was I was like what

568
00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:55,760
I tried to say, like you
really want to wear that hat, Like

569
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,960
that's a really long feather, you
know, And she's like, I love

570
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:02,159
this hat. I mean it was
a really long feather like it was,

571
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:06,360
you know, people were having to
like duck and you know, bob and

572
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,719
weave to get you know, hitting
people in the eye. Were on an

573
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:13,960
elevator, and it's like just us, nobody that that many people could fit

574
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,119
because of this fucking feather hat.
At least that's in my mind. That's

575
00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:21,280
how I remember it. And I
remember thinking like, yeah, our friendship

576
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:27,000
is sort of winding down right then, but then I have nowhere to go

577
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:30,840
that weekend. This was past the
New York thing, so I'm already like

578
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,280
wary of her, and now she's
like with the espresso and the you know,

579
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,159
turtlenecks, and I'm like, oh
god, I've got to get out

580
00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:42,960
of here. Even my home life
is better than this. So I took

581
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,199
my money and I bought and I
think, I know I've told you this

582
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,280
story before, and I'm gonna stop
saying that. But I get back and

583
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,800
my mom had been back from out
of town, had not noticed that.

584
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:58,519
I was gone, Wow, that's
a story. I wrote that story that

585
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,360
dulous. I mean, I changed
a lot of the details, but I

586
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:05,119
wrote that story in one of my
books because it was so weird to just

587
00:41:05,199 --> 00:41:08,039
come home and have them be like
I think my mom was disappointed. I

588
00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:13,159
think my mom wished that I had
horrible left home for good. That's terrible.

589
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,920
So there was no like, oh
you didn't have anywhere to go,

590
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:19,440
you poor thing. No, she
was just like, oh, it's you.

591
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:23,960
That's awful. Let's take a quick
break. Yeah, okay, we're

592
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:31,360
back. But I was gonna say
so the weekend, my weekend, it

593
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,559
was really nice, except, and
I know you're gonna know what I'm talking

594
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:43,039
about, all the small talk because
I'm at a wedding. The only people

595
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:46,880
I know. So I know it's
John's one of his best friends from college,

596
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,360
and then one other best friend from
college. But I've never lived in

597
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,239
the same town with these guys,
so I don't I don't know them that

598
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,480
well. Still small talk, you
know, when you're together, so you

599
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,079
don't really know it and do you
know, And a lot of a lot

600
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:04,559
of people are just no, no
people, nobody, nobody. I don't

601
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:07,519
know. The girl who's getting married, I don't know her, never met

602
00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:12,239
her fiance. Don't really care to
be honest, Like, I mean,

603
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,960
she seems super sweet, but like
I'm friends with the parents, so it's

604
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,960
like we're there to support and you
know, we sent a nice gift and

605
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,559
all that, and you know,
but I'm kind of there for the fun

606
00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:28,920
like weekend away, right of course. So we get in on Friday in

607
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:34,320
like the late afternoon. Now we
have to drive from Seattle Airport to Bellingham,

608
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,599
Washington, which was two and a
half hours wow, because it's rush

609
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:42,480
hour traffic. It's like a Friday
afternoon, and you know, I'm like

610
00:42:42,519 --> 00:42:46,360
a nervous passenger in a car,
so like I'm hitting the emergency break,

611
00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:52,639
you know, yeah, the imaginary
break on the passenger side, and I'm

612
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:55,920
there's a lot of like, John, could you slow down, like just

613
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,599
a little bit, Like I'm not
trying to make you nervous any That's the

614
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,639
one place in life that you and
I would just kill each other. I

615
00:43:02,679 --> 00:43:07,880
know, I know, I'm just
like I was, but a blind I'm

616
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,440
trying. At one point, I'm
just looking down at my phone and playing

617
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,760
threes and like letting him do his
thing. It wasn't I'm making myself sound

618
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,039
worse than I was. I was, I was okay, I just but

619
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:21,239
it was like after a day of
traveling and now we're on unfamiliar road and

620
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,320
it's super packed and we neither of
us know where we are. We're just

621
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:30,039
trying to follow navigation but a New
York. Is it getting dark or at

622
00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:31,119
least it was daylight? No?
Yeah, I was, I think it

623
00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:36,320
was still light out. Yeah.
Anyway, we get to the inn.

624
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:42,000
We're staying at an inn, uh
huh. But John didn't think okay,

625
00:43:42,039 --> 00:43:45,599
So I'm like, I'm all about
the chargers and the squares, right,

626
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,880
and John is like, we're not
gonna need squares because like it's a hotel,

627
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,719
like they're gonna have they You don't
need that. And I was like,

628
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:54,880
okay, well I'm gonna bring one. I'm gonna bring mine, like

629
00:43:55,039 --> 00:43:58,519
you know, there's no reason not. It's not like it needs its own

630
00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:00,840
suitcase. It's changing. I'm like, just bring one just in case.

631
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,920
He's like no, no, no, no, we're not going to need

632
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,760
that. Well, we get there
and it's like an kind of an old

633
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,039
fashioned it's an inn. It's not
a hotel. It's not a motel.

634
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:15,800
It's an inn. It's very quaint. There's no squares, there's no places

635
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,519
to plug your phone in. And
of course John's phone dies easily. What's

636
00:44:19,519 --> 00:44:22,960
a square you know, the like
hold that you've got one right next to

637
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:28,239
you, kaylin Oh the cubes?
Yeah, a cube that it's got like

638
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,079
yeah, that plug it into an
outlet, and that's got a USB.

639
00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:34,599
I mean I had a feeling it
was a battery of some sort, but

640
00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:37,639
I didn't. Okay, yeah,
so you need that unless there's an Unless

641
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:44,280
there's a straight up USB. That's
sometimes hotels have them. You need your

642
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,519
own. You need to be able
to plug it into an outlet, plug

643
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:49,159
your phone in. Yeah. Well
John didn't bring one, so it's just

644
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:55,679
me. So oh so overnight,
so it would became like a charging thing.

645
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,599
Yeah, became a whole thing of
like, who's going to use the

646
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:02,400
charge when we're back in the room
to charge our phones up. But anyway,

647
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:07,480
I'm telling you, you gotta get
that portable battery constant. But that's

648
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:12,159
because my phone is really old and
it'll die in no time. Yeah,

649
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:14,800
it pretty much never leaves my side. Now I'm gonna give it. I'm

650
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:20,920
gonna get one for her. Just
order online. Yes, yeah, worth

651
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,559
everybody. But the so Friday night
we go to the there's like a gathering

652
00:45:25,679 --> 00:45:30,000
for the it's not a rehearsal dinner, but it's like for out of town

653
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,960
guests. They're doing like a little
thing at this little like place. Now,

654
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,920
I am an extrovert. I am
I will talk. I can talk

655
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:44,880
to anybody. Obviously, I'm built
for podcasting. I can. I have

656
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:49,559
and it's not hard for me.
But you reach a point where you're like,

657
00:45:50,079 --> 00:45:53,280
I don't know anything, I don't
care about them or their lives.

658
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,920
I'm never going to see them again
because it's not like we had that much

659
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,920
time to talk to Like John's friend
from college, it's his daughter's getting he's

660
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:05,559
entertaining like, of course he's stopping
by. He's so happy we're there.

661
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:10,039
He's he's like the nicest guy.
And his wife, the MoMA, is

662
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:15,199
so nice, she's fun, she's
cool. But we can't monopolize their time.

663
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,840
We can't be like, hey,
we're we don't know anyone else that

664
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,840
you guys, don't you hate that? Like you want to hit your wagon

665
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,119
to somebody, but they're busy or
they're the one. Like when I went

666
00:46:24,159 --> 00:46:28,119
to Suzanne's sister's wedding, all I
wanted to do is talk to Suzanne,

667
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,400
but she's busy, right yeah,
right yeah. Also, it's a weird

668
00:46:32,519 --> 00:46:38,719
thing when you're like in a place
like Bellingham, Washington and John's friend,

669
00:46:40,079 --> 00:46:44,719
bless his heart, he is really
the nicest guy, but he's and he's

670
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,440
so sweet that he's like bragging on
me to other people. But he's like,

671
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,239
oh yeah, Stephanie. She's like
a big Hollywood writer. And it's

672
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,480
like I didn't like write Star Wars, like what like you know what I

673
00:46:54,519 --> 00:46:58,639
mean? Yeah, a big Hollywood
writer. No, I've written on some

674
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:01,360
shitty game shows and like I'm not
going to be like, well not really,

675
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,239
but I do have a book coming
out and I'm like, how do

676
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:07,760
you really respond to that? Because
then you know, you got people and

677
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,639
they're like, oh really, and
I want to go No, not really,

678
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,440
not really at all, Like I
worked on whose line is it anyway

679
00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:20,360
in the nineties? Ever heard of
that? Like there's no you know what

680
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,119
I mean, so that it creates
this weird like and I know he's just

681
00:47:23,199 --> 00:47:29,280
like proud of me because you know, but it's like yeah, they're like

682
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,719
okay, so and I'm like,
what about you? What do you do?

683
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,280
You know what I mean? And
I would be like you and I

684
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,960
would be great married together too,
Like we would be good, a good

685
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,679
team because I don't want to talk
to anybody, like shove you out there

686
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:50,559
to go go talk, go socialize. But I was like asking these people

687
00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:53,119
all these questions. But in my
mind, I'm like, I'm never going

688
00:47:53,159 --> 00:47:57,320
to see them again. Even when
we go to the wedding tomorrow. I'm

689
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,159
sure we're not going to be We're
not seated at a table with them.

690
00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:01,880
Who cares. I'm never seeing them
again. But I have to be like,

691
00:48:02,599 --> 00:48:07,280
what really you did? Used to
do? What for alypic? That's

692
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:13,159
that's a like I'm I'm I hate
the small talk I hate. I'm like

693
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,639
you, Lynette, I am very
much an introvert, and I won't even

694
00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:19,480
talk to like really people that I'm
supposed to. There's this big, like

695
00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:22,440
kind of running joke in my family
now that I don't know any of the

696
00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:25,880
parents at my daughter school, I
don't talk to any of them. It's

697
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,360
always like, oh, did you
do you know this person's dad or mom?

698
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:31,719
I gonna, now, well,
didn't you see him when you were

699
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,159
at the thing? I was like, well, he was there. I

700
00:48:34,199 --> 00:48:37,480
didn't say anything to him. Well, that's how John is because John's an

701
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,800
introvert too with social anxiety. So
I'm the same way. I'm like,

702
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,760
did you talk to so and so's
mom because she's the room mom or whatever?

703
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,239
And He's like who? And I'm
like, okay, you gotta look

704
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:52,519
for Jason's mom, Like I'm out. Yeah. Even with the all the

705
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:57,280
soccer parents now they're you know,
I'm taking Eyelet to soccer practice on tuesdays,

706
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,559
like, oh did you see this
person's No, I mean I saw

707
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:02,800
them, but it's not like I
said anything, right, I'm not gonna

708
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,880
do that, But those people I'm
invested in because I'm like, this is

709
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:12,599
the start of a beautiful, like
lifelong friendship probably yeah, yeah, until

710
00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:14,480
I find out I don't like them, but you know what I mean,

711
00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:19,440
Like at the beginning, all that's
what happened with with That's how we ended

712
00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:23,440
up in Lochagnyata. Basically, it's
because I hitched my wagon to Sonny's little

713
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:29,599
best friend in kindergartens. Brother.
Yeah. She was on top of everything.

714
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,280
She knew when the meetings where she
knew what kind of paint he needed

715
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:37,480
to bring to school on Thursday and
what outfitties of what spirit where week was?

716
00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:40,599
What right you know? And and
here we are and then she told

717
00:49:40,639 --> 00:49:45,920
me where to live and we moved
like she they moved to lock and we

718
00:49:45,039 --> 00:49:50,119
and we moved to like yeah,
yeah, so my my Laura, my

719
00:49:50,119 --> 00:49:52,320
friend Laura, the one I met
a freaking mommy and me was the same

720
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:58,320
for me, she's there's there's elbody
would never have gone to camp every summer.

721
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,000
I wouldn't have known about any of
that without her being like, Okay,

722
00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:05,039
so this is what we're doing this
summer. We're signing the kids up

723
00:50:05,039 --> 00:50:07,920
for camp and then I'll be missed
one year. But then because she was

724
00:50:08,159 --> 00:50:12,239
too nervous to do it. But
then the next year was already having FOMO

725
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,119
and like, yeah, I'll do
it. I'm like, what do I

726
00:50:14,159 --> 00:50:17,360
do right, saying with basketball,
sunny, playing basketball, every all of

727
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:22,800
it. Yeah, yeah, I
learned everything from other moms. I've never

728
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,519
even and I am, like I
said, I can be a go getter.

729
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:30,280
I know people I'm more of a
no getter. I can be,

730
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:35,960
but I guess I just choose not
to be because I'm like someone else will

731
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,760
know. Somebody else has done the
research on this. Yeah, the house

732
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:44,679
has done their home inventing the wheel
right right, Yeah, somebody's somebody's signed

733
00:50:44,679 --> 00:50:50,920
their kids up for basketball right before. Let me just ask them, Hey,

734
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,519
who's signing their kids up for basketball? Yeah? Why do I got

735
00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:55,679
to get on Google and search where
to sign up for basketball? Then you're

736
00:50:55,679 --> 00:51:00,960
gonna make the wrong choice anyway.
You're gonna go pick the wrong Yes,

737
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:05,360
yes, which happened to me.
Which happened too. Yes, I picked

738
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,000
one in like Studio City by accident, and everybody was like, why are

739
00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:10,480
you doing the one that's like two
blocks from your house. I'm like,

740
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:14,920
I don't know. Nobody told me. Yes, you know what happened with

741
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:21,840
me? Girl, Scouts because Sonny's
friend is Sonny's mother's friend's mother is for

742
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,360
the boy stuff. I didn't find
a girl mom, and I screwed myself

743
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,679
because I signed Italia up with like
Brownies in the wrong neighborhood, like you

744
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,920
know, with girl Scouts in the
wrong neighborhood, right, And and then

745
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,280
that was that. And then she
was like, why why am I?

746
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,920
All my friends are at the other
girl Scout meeting and I'm here with an

747
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:44,760
out of town meeting and my friends, the one that the ones that tell

748
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,320
me everything to do, my jews, all three of them troop leaders.

749
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,119
God, bless you guys, Thank
you, thank you for stepping up.

750
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:54,480
Thank you for being the type of
people that want to be troop leaders.

751
00:51:54,519 --> 00:51:59,559
I would rather slit my wrists right
than be a troop leader, right.

752
00:51:59,639 --> 00:52:04,599
Who was that level of interest in
what girl Scouts are doing? Also,

753
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,239
once you're a troop leader, you
can't quit, which thank god I wasn't,

754
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,360
because Elbi was like, I'm out, like after one season of it.

755
00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:15,679
She wanted to get to the part
where we sell cookies. I believe

756
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,039
she did it for one year and
then she was like, yeah, I'm

757
00:52:17,039 --> 00:52:21,519
done, saying with Nataliyat. She
wanted to get out there and sell,

758
00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:23,639
sell, sell, and then she
did and she was like no, no,

759
00:52:23,639 --> 00:52:27,960
no, I'm done. Yeah,
and I remember, like, yes,

760
00:52:28,119 --> 00:52:30,880
I remember when she quit because I
was like, really you want to

761
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,519
quit, because honestly, it was
one of the easiest activities we'd ever done.

762
00:52:34,599 --> 00:52:37,199
It was only met every other week, and for me, it was

763
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:43,039
just drop her off. And because
all my Jewish mom friends all their kids

764
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:45,719
went, they all went to different
schools. We got in with the little

765
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,960
our little charter school early on and
stuck with it. Well, these other

766
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:52,960
moms were at different schools, so
this was really one of the only times

767
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,719
that Elbie saw her friends. So
I was very surprised when she was like,

768
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,639
yeah, I don't want to go
anymore. And I was like,

769
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,320
well why not. She's like,
well, she Her only thing that she

770
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:07,400
liked about it was the snack was
that they have strawberries and like snacks.

771
00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:09,480
But other than that, she was
like, well, it's just really boring.

772
00:53:10,199 --> 00:53:13,519
Just do like boring activities. And
I was like, well, I

773
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:15,840
can't argue with that. Yeah,
I'll get you some strawberries and snacks at

774
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:22,760
home exactly. Yeah, all right, this was I went, let's finish

rest of about your trip on Friday.
