Kaylin has no clue what we were singing. I mean, I 10 00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:06,480 don't know the name of the song, but it sounds familiar. It does 11 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,439 because it was from the Brady Bunch. Oh yeah, the Brady Bunch. 12 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,840 You know that. I sound like a love the Brady Bunch. Oh my 13 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,959 god, me too. I was all about the Brady Bunch. Oh wait, 14 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,519 yeah, Brady Bunch. Happy days, even though that was a different 15 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:27,040 era. But happy later, yeah, a little later, Happy days. 16 00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:30,599 La Vernon Shirley, yep. I was just thinking about those shows. The 17 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,959 other day, Happy Days was first. It was like Tuesday night lineup, 18 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,519 I want to say, and it was like Happy Days at eight o'clock Laverne, 19 00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:40,840 And so that was already pushing it for me a little bit because I 20 00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:44,840 was a little kid and I really wanted to stamp for Lavern and Shirley. 21 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,359 Yes. Do you remember what was on at nine what Three's Company? Oh? 22 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,319 Yes? And then at nine thirty too Close for Comfort? Yeah. 23 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,920 I think I wasn't allowed to stay up that late because too Close for Comfort. 24 00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:00,239 I was more into in reruns. Uh huh, right, so I 25 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920 would have been a little bit older. Yeah, yeah, I just I 26 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:10,400 remember that those were Tuesday nights. Yeah. My favorite was the cartoons and 27 00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:15,199 it was after school and it was Channel fifty six and it was Kimba the 28 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,199 White Lion, which was like my all time favorite show I watched. Was 29 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,680 obsessed with Kimba the White Lion. And then I do remember there was controversy 30 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:28,520 because later The Lion King the movie came out and I was like, this 31 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,840 is like Kimba. Oh it was, yeah, and the lion's name was 32 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,439 Simba oh Cima, and Kimba. It was a Japanese cartoon. I mean 33 00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:40,800 I can't. I think they got sued. Oh really, yes, but 34 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,199 I don't know who won. But anyway, it was Kimba and then I 35 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,360 want to say it was Underdog. Oh, Underdog and Rocky and Bullwinkle Yeah, 36 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:55,080 and uh speed Racer. Yeah, here he comes, Here comes speed 37 00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:59,840 Racer. He's a demon on a wheels. He's a demon. Then it's 38 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,159 on to be coming after someone go speed Racer. Do you remember that? 39 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:09,520 I do. I do a big those cartoon fans. But I did watch 40 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,439 it because there was nothing else to watch, right. I like the Warner 41 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:16,199 Brothers, Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny. Oh yeah, I like that too. 42 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,599 I was a big TV addict too. What about Saturday morning cartoons? 43 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,080 Did you watch them? Land of the Lost? Yes, with the Land 44 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,960 of the Lost and there was another one. Yes. That's why I buy 45 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,199 those old T shirts. I go on a uh tea tea spring or tea, 46 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,879 I can't remember, and you can look up anything you want. And 47 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:47,120 that's where I got my WITCHI poo, the one with uh Liddsville and hr 48 00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:53,800 puffin stuff, which poo gave me nightmares. I've heard this Sid and Marty 49 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,199 Croft where like Big Time did a lot of asks, that's what I hear. 50 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,719 Yeah, one of them just away recently. I know, I know, 51 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,319 but I to me, it's like Disneyland. It's like when you go 52 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,599 to Disneyland and you're a little kid, you don't see any of the wires. 53 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,199 You know, you're on the Pirates of the Caribbean, and you're just 54 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,240 like, this shit is real. This is real. You're scared, and 55 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,160 then as an adult you're like, oh, there's I can see you could 56 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,360 see the ceiling right right if you look, So you have to kind of 57 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,879 try to keep the magical life. Well, it's like that. I feel 58 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,079 like as a little kid, you know, hr puff and stuff, it 59 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,439 didn't feel like cheesy puppets. I felt like, yeah, my friends, 60 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,160 right, your friends, Yeah, because I would be left alone. Well 61 00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:44,439 you were just talking about this in your book. Because I'm listening to your 62 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,480 book, which is really good, which, by the way, gives me 63 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,600 comfort when I'm out on my construction site at night smoking cigarettes, because I 64 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,040 like, it was raining last week and I was out there smoking. I 65 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,399 was like, you know, things were coming to an end with the divorce, 66 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:04,079 and it's like listening to your book sitting out there. It was nice, 67 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,759 but I pictured you send me the sweetest text telling me that, and 68 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,720 I was imagining you like alone in the dark with air pods on, so 69 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,800 with noise canceling air pods so you can't even hear when, like you know, 70 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,079 the rapist comes. Yeah, when Lessay tries to accost you. Yes, 71 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,360 yes, I was like Lynette, but take one ear AirPod out. 72 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,639 Be aware of your surroundings. I am my back is up against a brick 73 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,040 wall, okay, so I do have my my peripheral vision going on. 74 00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:41,120 My god, you're the You're the person outside of seven eleven that my kids 75 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:48,079 are scared of. I got my down smoking against a wall, like my 76 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,839 kids are like, mom, stay away from that person. Now. I 77 00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:57,439 know it's pretty apathetic. So you were going to say latch key yes, 78 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,439 like yes, like when just being alone every day after school like and then 79 00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:09,360 after school though, I would watch like General Hospital, okay when you got 80 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,360 a little older, assuming Yeah, when I was older, i'd watch General 81 00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:15,800 Hospital than Oprah. Did you ever watch General Hospital? I didn't watch General 82 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,519 Hospital, but I watched The Young and the Restless. Oh you are CBS 83 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:24,000 fan, I guess ABC. I wanted to get back to the Brady Bunch 84 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,160 for a minute. Oh god, So I actually did watch. I watched 85 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,879 like the Brady Bunch in Gilligan's Island because when I was really little and I 86 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,720 had my first just like crappy TV in my room, that's what they would 87 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,480 play on, like Nike at night. Those But other fun facts about it 88 00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:41,439 is I lived right around the corner from the Brady Bunch House. It's studio 89 00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:45,560 city. I did too. I lived on Aqua Vista and it was like, 90 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,360 so, yeah, I lived on Valley Spring Lane, which is kind 91 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,519 of on the other end of the neighborhood or whatever. But as I got 92 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:57,120 older, there were two places in the neighborhood that me and my friends would 93 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,240 park outside of and smoke weed in the car. We had this one spot 94 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,240 that was kind of like a dead end, but then you know, we 95 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,360 saw like a cop drive by one day, so we had to find another 96 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:09,000 one. So we used to smoke weed outside of the Brady Bunch house. 97 00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:11,759 And that's what we would say, like, we're burned, Let's go to 98 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160 the Brady spot to go smoke weed. Oh my god, classic la Yeah, 99 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,800 and uh my dad dated one of the Brady girls. Oh really, 100 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:25,240 Yeah, I forged. I think it's the older one, Marcia Marsham Marsha 101 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,079 was okay, The younger one was Susan Susan Olsen. The middle one was 102 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:34,800 Eve Plumb. Yes, what's look at what? You got a look at 103 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,279 Plumb? And then she was a Marine McCormick, Marie McCormick. Yeah, 104 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:43,079 he dated Marine McCarthy. And think he went on a few dates with Marie 105 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,759 McCormick. If I'm remember it right, yeah, grooving, I think so. 106 00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:50,720 I think I'm remembering that right. I don't know. I'll ask him 107 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:54,240 for like one minute. When you first said it, I was like, 108 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920 what are the chances? And then I was like, oh, because he 109 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,759 was a famous actor, of course he did. Of course he did. 110 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,279 Yeah, that's so funny. It's funny. I think Adam went to improv 111 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:09,920 class with Eve Plump. Yeah, she looked like she was like doing walking 112 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,399 around. Yeah for a while. And then I don't know what happened to 113 00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:18,439 little Cindy. I think she's doing fine. Yeah. And then I used 114 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,040 to love that when when they go on vacation, like when they went to 115 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Hawaii. Oh that was the big episode. And then they had like the 116 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,639 talisman they get they got like a tiki torch that they had a curse. 117 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,639 Yeah, it was cursed. Yeah, it says I feel like a lot 118 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,720 many people would say it jumped the shark around that time. I would say, 119 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:39,399 O contrere got better? I got better? All right? Now, 120 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,720 I could still hear that sting that every time they'd show the tek Yeah, 121 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,080 speaking of that, what about Bewitched? Were you to Bewitched? I loved 122 00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:54,279 Bewitched because I was thinking of that for when she would move her nose. 123 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,240 Right, it's so funny and I dream of Genie. Oh yeah, I 124 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,840 used to watch that too. Isn't it funny that back then that high concept 125 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000 like people with magical powers, right, was big and we all bought into 126 00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,320 it. Yeah she's a witch, sure, right, she's a Genie in 127 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,799 prime time? Yes, yeah, those are the biggest shows. Yeah, 128 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,120 it was, yeah, on the primetime schedule and then And I know this 129 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,840 is a an Adam thing, but it's mine too.

Yeah, my 141 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,000 dad would watch those with me and a lot I loved, like right from 142 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,919 the beginning when they would when Fantasy Island would open, You know what, 143 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,519 it reminds me of uh White Lotus, where you're like, what's gonna happen, 144 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Who's gonna who's gonna come gonna face which? How is this gonna fall 145 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,080 apart? Like what's their fantasy and how's it gonna go dark? I remember 146 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,200 trying to figure it out, and you'd always be surprised. My dad was 147 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:52,080 on Fantasy Island really played an Italian ambassador of course. Really. Yeah, 148 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,879 he had like one or two lines in Italian, and I just remember him 149 00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,519 like throwing his napkin down at a dinner table and storming off. Yeah what, 150 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,320 that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, that's so cool. And I know, 151 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,759 I know that was like the only he did that. And he did 152 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:16,440 a music video with Jermaine Jackson. That's hilarious. How did he get that? 153 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:22,320 He had an agent? Jack Scagnetti was his name, Oh my god, 154 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,600 classic, I know, and he was his agent for years in the 155 00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:28,559 in the San Fernando Valley. But you know, he never went on. 156 00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:33,159 He got an agent when we moved to California and then just kept him and 157 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,039 went on like maybe an audition here. But he was always like the Italian 158 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,919 guy or whatever. But not always because he really didn't work, but that 159 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,799 that was like his thing, what he would go out for. Yah. 160 00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:48,159 Yeah, yeah, because they need somebody to speak fluent Italian. So right 161 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,240 right, listen, getting an agent is no small feat. Like the fact 162 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:56,639 that he got an agent is pretty big. Yeah. Back in yeah, 163 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,960 I mean when we moved here in the seventies, they got me an age 164 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,080 and everybody in the family got an agent. My brother Dave got an agent, 165 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:09,000 my mom got an agent, really yeah yeah, but then nobody worked 166 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,759 and then it was just me going out on auditions right until you were like, 167 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,519 yeah, I'm done. It's I got old enough. I'm gone, 168 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,840 what the hell am I doing? Like this is ridiculous. I did I 169 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,360 ever tell you the story? I know I've told this story, but of 170 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:30,200 my first time I got I was am seeing at the improv and this guy 171 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,919 came up to me and said, I want to send you an audition for 172 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000 a big show that's coming out on NBC, which was called Townies, which 173 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:43,000 was a show that came out and Mollie ring Will all want to say, 174 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,360 wasn't it Jenna Elfman, I don't know, Oh yeah, the town was 175 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,000 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. I remember that show. 176 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,799 They were both in it, and oh okay, okay, Well, 177 00:12:54,919 --> 00:13:01,639 so here's what happened. Oh my god, maybe you just popped up on 178 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,320 Google as part of the cast. I don't know how that's funny. So 179 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:09,399 I guess this isn't even really a spoiler alert. No Stephanie Wilder and not 180 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,120 Cat, not Stephanie. Uh. But so I'm at the improp so I 181 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,960 get I get offered this audition and I'm like, oh, Okay, Now, 182 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,679 something to know about me is I was not a good actress, like 183 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:28,759 at all. I could do stand up and I could you know, I 184 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,039 could be me, but I didn't know how to act. And I had 185 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,080 taken I want to say I took a few some acting classes. I mean 186 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,200 I don't want to I think I took them before that, or maybe it 187 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,559 was anyway, and I did not do well in acting class. It was 188 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,679 that whole thing where it lay on the floor and pretendia bacon and I was 189 00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,679 every single thing. I felt full body cringe, was just like this is 190 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,919 so dumb, oh and doing scenes and also my acting teacher was kind of 191 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,159 mean. I mean, you're not always mean, right are they always? 192 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,200 So let's take the stick up out of your ass? Like why do they 193 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,000 got to be so mean and like embarrass you in front of you, like, 194 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,120 you know, so embarrassing And that's once they feel like the the what 195 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,200 they want to do is like tear you down or something. Then they can, 196 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,840 but where's the building back up part? Like good cults, they tear 197 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:26,399 you down, but then they build you up. Then they brainwash you into 198 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,559 being part of the cults and make you feel good. There's no feel good 199 00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:33,679 part. It's all negative. So and I hated that, which is why 200 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:39,360 when I teach writing, like I'm the opposite. It's all about like making 201 00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:43,080 you feel good, because even if you suck at first, you're not going 202 00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:46,759 to get better by being told, well, this kind of side, like 203 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,639 you're going to get better when you're like, here's what's great about it, 204 00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:52,840 and here's what I want you to work, you know, So acting class 205 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,240 I just really didn't like it. And I always even even if like I 206 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,639 was getting a private which I sometimes had an audition and I would get privately 207 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,879 coached, I never felt like, oh I nailed it, Like I still 208 00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:09,399 always felt like this is this is bad. Yeah. So I get this 209 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,639 audition and I go into for the read and apparently, and I can't remember 210 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,080 this casting director's name, but she was a big casting director. She booked 211 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:24,399 big, big, big shows. And I go in and I read the 212 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:31,840 lines, and I think I'm good at reading but not acting, so I 213 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,440 can give almost a pass, like it's like, so she listens to me 214 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,159 and she goes, well, there's something there, but you're not you can't 215 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:50,519 go like you can't whatever the thing was. I'm trying to remember I don't. 216 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,320 I did get the acting I did get the audition for this Townies thing, 217 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,279 and I look on the list and it is like the biggest names that 218 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,519 are going in for this, and I was like, this is so sad. 219 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:07,120 So then I do not get that job. Catherine hair I want to 220 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,000 say, her name is Catherine something Harris. So I get another audition, 221 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:14,440 though, and I go in for her and she says, no, I 222 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:18,080 can't. I can't send you to producers. But do you? But you 223 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,679 have no agent. She's like, so I want I have a friend who's 224 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,279 looking for people that you can go in And I know I've told this story 225 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:30,320 before, so I'm like, okay, great, I'm going to have my 226 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,600 first interview with an agent. So the agent says, you need to learn 227 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,320 a monologue. Come in and do You're going to perform a monologue and like 228 00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:42,240 meet the guys. I'm like, okay, So I go to Samuel French 229 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,320 bookstore get monologues. I'm not an actress. I know really nothing about it. 230 00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:52,679 At this point, I probably hadn't gone to acting are in my twenty 231 00:16:52,759 --> 00:17:00,000 early twenties probably yeah, so early to mid twenties. I'm gonna say I'm 232 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,240 I'm like twenty four maybe. So anyway, I get this book and I 233 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,519 look up. I learned this monologue. I memorize it. I am not 234 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,359 good at it, but it is memorized now that I'm thinking about it. 235 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:18,079 I watched the CBS Morning Show thing and you were so cute with your pigtails, 236 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:19,799 like up on stage. If that was it, Oh that was stand 237 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,519 up, I know. But like, if that's the age you were, 238 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,480 like, you could have gotten a lot of acting that. I was older. 239 00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:29,680 That's why I had already had LB at that. Okay, so I 240 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,759 was that me in that orange shirt. I was thirty nine, oh, 241 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,839 thirty eight probably still yeah, but still you still look young. Yeah, 242 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,759 So in my twenties I was I'm sure you were cute. Then I was 243 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,279 cute, but that's all I had going for me pretty much. And I 244 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,759 was a decent stand up but I was not. I was just like so 245 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,000 always felt so self conscious. So I go into this, I go in 246 00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:59,200 to meet and I'm so nervous. I'm like the most nervous I think I've 247 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,720 ever been in my entire life. And I completely choked. So it's two 248 00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:08,039 guys and they're like, Okay, so you're ready, and I feel so 249 00:18:08,279 --> 00:18:15,759 stupid. Oh and I need to add I'm waiting outside to go in all 250 00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:21,119 by myself and everybody that's auditioning. I can hear people. They're seeing a 251 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,960 bunch of people and people are doing the fake orgasm scene from When about Sally, 252 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:33,960 So you just keep hearing people going like and I'm like, oh god, 253 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:40,519 like that was the hot right model and I'm doing like I think it 254 00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:44,839 at an accent. It was like some girl talking about her boyfriend at a 255 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,920 bowling alley and she's like, from the fifty It's just like what am I 256 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,279 thinking about? Not modern at all? So, oh my god. So 257 00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:59,160 it's my turn, and they're like, okay, like whenever you're ready, 258 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,680 Like they say hi to me, and and I'm like, my mouth is 259 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:08,279 so dry, so my mouth is like I could barely talk. So so 260 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:15,319 I I start right and it's oh and I'm shaking. I'm shaky. I 261 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,319 get like a few words out and I'm like, can I can I stop? 262 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,079 I was like, can I do you have any water? Linette? 263 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,920 This was one of the most embarrassing experiences of my entire life, and and 264 00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:32,240 they everybody was so uncomfortable it was like two guys that ran this agency and 265 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,799 like their assistant, right, so there's three people. And then the guy 266 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,279 goes of course, of course, yeah, and he brings me like a 267 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,039 Dixie cup full of water and I like take it. It's like I remember 268 00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:47,079 it being a really small cup. It was like a Nike weell and I 269 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,039 just remember thinking like this is not enough water. But like I take some 270 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,359 SIPs of it, and they're like, okay, anytime you're ready to you 271 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,119 ready to try again. They're so nice, but they're looking at me like 272 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,279 I'm an orphan, you know, like all poor thing. We're not going 273 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,240 to adopt you. But like so I get through somehow, I get through 274 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,200 it and it is terrible, and they both they're like, thank you for 275 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,720 coming in. Then I never heard anything from any like really, yeah, 276 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,359 so you never got an agent or anything. I eventually did get an agent, 277 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,640 but yeah, no, not when I was just a comedian, right 278 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,880 right, not interested. Let's take a break. Yeah, that's for already 279 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,039 twenty minutes into the Yea and Kaylin has a pretty big story, but it's 280 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,480 oh, yeah, but so but you had an agent. I'm an agent 281 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,000 when I was Yeah, well, students I turned seven, Dorothy diotis agency, 282 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,160 and yeah, I mean my dad got me an agent, got me 283 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,319 into SAG and AFTRA, which is good. And I've still been paying my 284 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,559 dues all these years. But you have yeah, oh yeah, which is 285 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:02,519 great because I have to get health insurance, so I think there and I've 286 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:06,519 had health insurance through SAGIN after it, so I don't know, we'll see, 287 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:10,480 but but yeah, I've been with I enjoy. You're going to have 288 00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,359 to book something because you have to make the minimum. You have to make 289 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:18,079 the minima. Yeah, unless you made so much money as like a child 290 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,319 actor, that you paid so much money into the guild, they get lifetime 291 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,319 and health benefits. Otherwise, no, yeah, they should put podcasting on 292 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,680 there, you know, I know radio and television like radio. Who does 293 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:37,079 radio anymore? Yeah? But but and I remember going on getting these little 294 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,000 jobs and then as soon as after I did the job, my parents took 295 00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:45,680 me to the unemployment agency to get on unemployment. I would get an unemployment 296 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:51,839 check. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy? Yeah, because I worked 297 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,720 like a day. And did they put any of that money away for you? 298 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,480 I think they did. I mean I got my first car from right 299 00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:02,880 right, But that was about it. No. I mean, I don't 300 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,640 even know how much money. I didn't really make anything. You know, 301 00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:10,039 you should have sued them. I know I did that too. I was 302 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,799 in one episode of my dad's TV show when I was like six, and 303 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,480 it ended up getting my first car. You did, really see they put 304 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:22,119 it away for you? Uh? Wow, that's nice. Yeah, and 305 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000 I just threw old any money i'd get over the years into that and then 306 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,119 that ended up getting my first car. Well, see that footage is out 307 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,799 there somewhere by the way. We watched it a couple of times.

It's not easy being 332 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,240 green, but you make it look easy. Chris to get the strap. 333 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:45,279 And Stephanie is a stinker wrinker. So Caylin, what happened? What happens? 334 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,359 So last week I spent three days in the hospital with Blake. What 335 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,920 yeah, And I'll just say now that she's fine and back home. Still 336 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,200 has some lingering effects. Oh my god, what happened? Uh? So 337 00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:07,799 Tuesday, we woke up and Blake was kind of like off balance, Like 338 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,480 every tenth step she would take, she would she wouldn't fall over, but 339 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,680 she would, you know, kind of like jolt and like catch herself and 340 00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:18,920 wear her Amy's mom kind of noticed it in the morning, and then as 341 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,440 I was taking her to school, I noticed it a little bit when we 342 00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,440 were walking to school and she got out of school and uh, I noticed 343 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,160 her do it again, and I picked her up from the classroom and walked 344 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,400 away to go get ila with her. Did the teacher say anything that's I 345 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,359 was like, I should go ask the teacher. So I went back and 346 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,640 I said, have you noticed Blake? It's been off balance today? And 347 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,559 this teacher only had Blake for like an hour because she stays extra and the 348 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,480 teacher was like, yeah, I have noticed, Yeah, she has been 349 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,279 kind of like off balance today and I was like, that's weird. So 350 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,720 I pick up Ayla go home. She's still doing that thing where she's just 351 00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:53,799 kind of catching herself every once in a while. Amy gets home and I 352 00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:59,000 say, there's something going on with Blake, Like she's not walking properly. 353 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:00,839 And we test her, like we have her walk back and forth and back 354 00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:03,440 and forth, and she's clearly like something's going on where she's just kind of 355 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,599 a little off balance. So Amy's like, okay, I'm taking her to 356 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,920 the er. And then I was like, oh, this is I guess 357 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,599 this is like more serious than I thought it was. So Amy stayed with 358 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,880 her at the er for hours. I ended up driving over there later after 359 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,039 her mom got back watch Aila, So like seven thirty I got there and 360 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,920 she was like in you know, she was in the er, in that 361 00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:30,920 big giant hospital bed, and her little body was so sad. Yeah, 362 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,519 very she's three now, right, she's three. Yeah, but she was 363 00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:38,880 happy. You know, she wasn't acting strange at all. She was still 364 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,599 cute, but it was just sad to see her and there and uh so 365 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,240 then we waited a while and then the er trauma doctor came in and was 366 00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:48,440 like, all right, I want to see her walk. So he put 367 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,880 her down. She walked like a couple steps and he was like, oh, 368 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,599 yeah, there's something wrong, and she's okay. Yeah, she's okay. 369 00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,920 And but but when we put her down, then it might have been 370 00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,640 she was a bit traumatized from she had to get a cat scan so they'd 371 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,319 put an ivy in her, so that wasn't Yeah, that wasn't good for 372 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,119 her. They took her blood, blood work, both of those came back 373 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,160 and you know, nothing, They didn't find anything. But when the doctor 374 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,119 put her down to walk, she was off balance. But her legs were 375 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,279 also like trembling. So the doctor's like, all right, we're gonna admit 376 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,799 her because we don't know what this is. It could just be the result 377 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,559 of a virus or a cold, or it could be the early stages of 378 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:33,920 leukemia. Oh my gosh. So I was like, oh fuck, like 379 00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:37,880 now that's all I can think of, right, So they admitted her, 380 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,599 and then another doctor came the you know, the pediatric wing doctor came in 381 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,839 and he was very nice and intelligent, and he helped kind of calm us 382 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,039 down, like it's most likely just a result of a virus. But she 383 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,160 wasn't sick, Like there was no days before where she was sick. She 384 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,920 had a little cough one night, which she coughs at night all the time 385 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,680 anyway, because she sucks her fingers and ends up making her off, So 386 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:04,680 there was no indication that she was sick. Doctor made us feel better. 387 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,000 And then the next day she tested positive for coronavirus, And so then I 388 00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:14,599 go like, you mean like COVID And they're like, no, like the 389 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:18,160 original coronavirus, not one of these, like mutated like the first one. 390 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,359 Isn't that crazy? What the which was gone? Which, of course, 391 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,599 selfishly, I was like, wait, so does that mean Corona's back again? 392 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,519 She was never sick, She never seemed to be sick. People have 393 00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:37,160 been vaccinated though against the original one and mutated. How does it what I 394 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,160 don't understand. I was going to say, it mutates, Like how does 395 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,000 it? I have not you know, like did she get the original? 396 00:28:44,119 --> 00:28:48,240 No idea? Okay, but so they so they then they were going to 397 00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:52,240 take her in for an MRI and a spinal tap. Oh my God. 398 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:55,759 And then another doctor came in and was like, well, let's put a 399 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:59,319 hold on that. I want a neurologist to see her first. That took 400 00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:02,039 all day. Then just came in like at night when I was at home, 401 00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:07,319 and the neurologist said, yeah, I've seen this before. This is 402 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,599 most likely just the result of a virus. Like this thing happens where there's 403 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,960 some kind of inflammation in their brain, it's sending the wrong signals to their 404 00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:18,079 muscles. It's like, this is probably just the result of a virus and 405 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,200 it'll go away on its own in like one or two weeks. And this 406 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,160 is after you found out she had the virus of the coronavirus, Okay, 407 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,000 and that's kind of making sense. Yeah, And so that calmed us down 408 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,680 a whole lot. Then she had an MRI the next day. They didn't 409 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,079 find anything, so then they go, yeah, this is just the result 410 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:36,960 of the virus. She's going to be off balance for like a week or 411 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,119 two, but those she'll just get over it. So we came home and 412 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,559 she's still been kind of falling a little bit, especially when she wakes up 413 00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:47,079 from her nap. She's very kind of unstable. Other than that, she's 414 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,480 doing pretty good. But yeah, oh my god, Caitlin, how scary? 415 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,160 Yeah, it was pretty scary. Well, as soon as the er 416 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,960 doctor said leukemia, then it was like a whole nother thing. It wasn't 417 00:29:56,039 --> 00:30:00,440 until the neurologist saw that we were all finally like, okay, this, 418 00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:03,319 we can kind of calm down a little bit, right And how long until 419 00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:07,519 the neurologist saw her doing it? Like what the fuck? I had the 420 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,599 same thing happened to me. I was telling Kaylin literally exact same thing with 421 00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:18,440 LB when she was a baby. She's probably like fourteen months she and one 422 00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:23,319 morning she woke up maybe she was like eighteen months and she couldn't I can't 423 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:27,039 remember exactly how old she was, but she was had been walking plenty before 424 00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,960 that, and she just couldn't walk. Like I put her. We put 425 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,880 her put her down from the crib or whatever, and she just fell down 426 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,440 and we were like, what the fuck? So I called the pediatrician. 427 00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,400 Scary. I brought her to the pediatrician and he said, you need to 428 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,359 take her to the too urgent care. No, he said, if she 429 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,920 doesn't, if she's not better by tomorrow, bring her to urgent care. 430 00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:53,240 She wasn't better. Somehow, we go to Urgent Care Urgent Care Caesar and 431 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,559 they're like, you need to take her to the er. And John and 432 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,680 I were like, wait what And they said it could be a virus. 433 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,160 It was the exact same thing, and they said called They said it could 434 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:11,960 be something called toxic cinovitis, which is basically happens in little kids when they 435 00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:15,599 have a virus or a cold and then it goes into their joints. They 436 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,519 said, like her head, which is making her then she was walking, 437 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,200 but she would yes, she wouldn't walk, So they said it could be 438 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:29,400 but but it also could be leukemia. Same thing. And I was crying 439 00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:33,359 and of course just catastrophizing and thinking the worst. And then we brought her 440 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,839 to the er and then they couldn't get blood because she was so anxious, 441 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,920 even as a little little little kid, that she wouldn't let them take her 442 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,680 blood. And they were trying to hold her down and she was screaming, 443 00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:49,720 and then I was crying and it was like a freaking nightmare. And I 444 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:56,599 remember they had tabloids. It was early enough that you we didn't have smartphones, 445 00:31:56,599 --> 00:32:00,240 so I couldn't just like read my phone, so they had. That's 446 00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:05,119 another thing like that I forgot when Blake first went to the er and I 447 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,319 was home just watching Isla. I just googled, like what could make my 448 00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:14,960 toddler start, you know, being off balance, all the bad idea like 449 00:32:15,119 --> 00:32:19,960 brain tumor, neurological. I just put my phone down, like that was 450 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,720 a mistake, right, right, yeah, yeah, And then we were 451 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:25,720 in the ear and Amy was like googling things. This is after the doctor 452 00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:29,960 came in, and I was like, don't stop googling, just stop just 453 00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:32,039 that. Google'skno going to know more than this. Doctor just talk to us 454 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,920 like this, don't do that. So, yeah, don't do that if 455 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,799 you want to, but don't, right, Yeah, Well, my thing 456 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:45,400 just came out that they eventually they had to They had to medicate LB to 457 00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:49,519 get her to relax enough for them to take blood. So they gave her 458 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,279 verse said, right, they calmed her down, They calmed her down, 459 00:32:52,519 --> 00:32:57,279 she flapped her arm out for them. They got blood. It came back 460 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,440 all negative and then she started walking on her own and they're like, yeah, 461 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,440 it was just a it was just a result of the virus. But 462 00:33:05,559 --> 00:33:09,599 it was the scariest. It was off like traumatizing a couple of days. 463 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,079 Really, I've never heard I've never heard of this, like these kids can 464 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,799 get They called it blake with blake. It wasn't what Stephanie said. They 465 00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:27,160 called it viral ataxia. And then it was funny actually because I was servicing 466 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,880 one of my pawn clients who's a nurse, and she was asking me like, 467 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,599 oh, how's it going, And I was like, oh, yeah, 468 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,279 my daughter, she's something called like viral ataxia. I don't really know 469 00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:36,519 where it is that I forgot she was a nurse. So she just looked 470 00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:37,160 at me. She's like, yeah, I know what a taxia is. 471 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,880 I'm a nurse. I was like, oh okay, So she was like, 472 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,799 yeah, I've seen that before. Wow. Oh, I guess it's 473 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,680 kind of gosi. Yeah, but why do they have to say leukemia? 474 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:51,599 I know exactly. That's like the thing, like right out of the gate, 475 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,039 I want to be on a need to know basis, like if if 476 00:33:54,319 --> 00:33:59,039 it's probably not that, don't put that word. Don't say that word out 477 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,279 parents, right, and let's say he's an er doctor. I'm sure that 478 00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:06,960 you've seen it before. Like why yeah, why, I mean, come 479 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:10,000 on, that's Fuck, that's just I mean, it's on the one hand, 480 00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:13,599 it's good that they're taking it seriously and not just like, oh, 481 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,400 your kid's walking funny, I'm sure it's nothing. But on the other hand, 482 00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:20,719 yeah, I mean, I feel like they would have to give some 483 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,400 kind of more serious option as to why yet we're going to admit uh them, 484 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:28,559 you know, because otherwise if they're like, oh, yeah, it's 485 00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,960 probably just a virus, they'll get over in a couple of days, and 486 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:36,159 they wouldn't admit him to the hospital, right, that's true. Wow, 487 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,400 And they can't give her any there's no antibiotics now, virus yeah, no 488 00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:45,440 anti virals for the corona nothing, no pack slovid. It's so crazy. 489 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:51,719 That's so crazy. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. Wow. How's Amy? 490 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,119 Was? She really stressed out? She actually was handling it very well. 491 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,159 She was very very you know, calm and you know, straight to 492 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,519 the point at the hot spittle and is doing very well. I think you 493 00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:02,800 kind of hit her more when we got back and it was all over. 494 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,360 She kind of you know, waited for it to hit her then. But 495 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,519 she's doing well now. Still worried, of course, but uh yeah, 496 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:13,199 no, in the hospital, she was. She was definitely more calm than 497 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,400 I was in that er room. Ah, poor Caitlin breaks my heart. 498 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,920 I'm sorry I went through it. I was just sad seeing her in that 499 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,880 big bed and in the hospital room with the IVY hooked up to her. 500 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,239 And then when they they had to put her out for the MRI too, 501 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,960 So that's weird to see her just kind of like, yeah, you know, 502 00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:31,960 she was resisting it and then one second she's resisting. The next second 503 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,400 she's just like passed out. Yeah, it was clunk clunk. Give her 504 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:43,760 a little propofol. She was probably like, that's the best nap I ever 505 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:52,639 said, Wow, I love a little propofol. So jealous. Maybe I 506 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,000 need an MRI. No, they'd probably just make me lay still like I 507 00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:00,280 can't, I can't do it. You gotta give me prom a fall. 508 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,079 Oh man. Well sorry, Cayln. Yeah, well you know it's I'm 509 00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:09,440 glad it's nothing serious. Yeah, it's nothing serious. Well let's take a 510 00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:15,280 quick break and then we'll come back. Yeah, and we're back. We're 511 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,079 back. So I had a book event. Yeah, I was just gonna 512 00:36:20,159 --> 00:36:22,599 ask you, yeah, busy little bee. Yes, And some of our 513 00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:30,280 listeners came down my friend Melissa, she's you can see her on the page. 514 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,519 And Heather pot came drove down from Thousand Oaks. They these are my 515 00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:39,280 friends who have bad driving anxiety like I do, and also love yacht rock 516 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:45,159 like I do. I love I love both of these women. They're so 517 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,199 nice and anyway, so they braved driving anxiety to come from Thousand Oaks and 518 00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:58,559 our friend Alex and Janet oh, and Janet came with her twins, her 519 00:36:58,639 --> 00:37:02,599 twin boys. People that's so oddo see me? Yeah, And it was 520 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,480 really really nice, it was fun. It's I don't I don't have like 521 00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:10,800 a lot of in person stuff books because the problem with doing stuff in person 522 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,199 is you do have to bug people to come otherwise. I remember doing a 523 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,000 book event for sippy cups, uh where I was at this huge like Barnes 524 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,960 and Noble. And if you ever go to like Barnes and Noble where they 525 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:28,199 most big Barns and Nobles, they're all big, have an area where people 526 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,519 come sign books and it's like a big space with all these chairs. One 527 00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:37,639 guy came to see me and he was homeless. So and that is not 528 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,719 like a stand up joke like that is a true story. He was like 529 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:44,639 sleeping in the back, like you know, yeah, nobody showed up, 530 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,039 and I mean it was some Barnes and Noble out and I'm traumatized by that, 531 00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:52,480 so, like, I mean, pretty much more traumatized than Kaitlin was 532 00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:58,480 taking his daughter to the hospital. That was a really bad experience. So 533 00:37:58,599 --> 00:38:01,760 I just don't like, I'm not interested in like if people go, oh, 534 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:06,960 come to a book signing at like in Arizona. No, no one's 535 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,960 gonna come see me, but you like the person we're asking for me. 536 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,719 It's just it's a weird thing. But so I'm just mostly doing like guesting 537 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,800 on podcasts. There's a great podcast that I did hosted by this woman named 538 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:27,320 Casey called Hello Someday. Oh yeah, it's really good. Yeah, Hello 539 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:32,400 Someday is a great one. And the Sober Mom podcast, which I'm going 540 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,800 to tell you her and those are both out already. Those are out, 541 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:45,280 yeah, and those are like those women, uh Suzanne Wherry. Her podcast 542 00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:50,679 yes is called oh she I think sure. Her instagram is my kind of 543 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:59,320 sweet, so I think she has another one, but her hold on a 544 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:06,559 second what And the CBS Morning show is the Sober Mom Life. Yeah, 545 00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:09,400 link to it. Yeah, yeah, that's on our Facebook. But anyway, 546 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:15,760 yeah, those those so many like people like us. Yeah yeah, 547 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:21,960 and great just just fun, good podcasts that have like really nice communities, 548 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,360 right like ours. So that's like, as I'm saying, compared to when 549 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:30,199 my other books have come out, podcasts weren't a big thing. Yeah, 550 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,440 so now it's it's different. Now. Yeah, it's almost like doing a 551 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,920 book reading, like resting. I'm going to be on another podcast early in 552 00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:43,039 February called The Last Day. I think I mentioned this last week. It's 553 00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:47,039 a pretty big podcast and it's a it's a really it's a good podcast. 554 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,880 Anyway, whatever does it? Keep looking for your episode of that other podcast 555 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,760 and he won't he's I don't think he's put it out. Oh really, 556 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,119 I know I want it is going to ask you when is that people are 557 00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:05,079 waiting? I wonder if. I wonder if because I didn't kiss his ass, 558 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,000 he was so and you a kind of challenged it a little bit, 559 00:40:10,159 --> 00:40:13,559 and maybe he doesn't like the fact that I was like, I have no, 560 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,719 I don't understand what you're talking about, because you'd think it would definitely 561 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,840 be out by now. Yeah. I have such a backup of but I 562 00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:23,960 kind of don't want to like email the company and go like, hey, 563 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,360 are you putting my show up? Because I'd almost rather than don't. But 564 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,480 you're right, it is kind of like for would be funny at this point. 565 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,280 Yeah, it would be hilarious. I'd put it on our Facebook page. 566 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,239 I know, I'd promote the hell out of this. Maybe I should 567 00:40:38,679 --> 00:40:42,239 write to the guy and just go like, hey, what happened to it? 568 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,400 I have a lot of people can't wait to hear it. Unless somebody 569 00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:49,400 heard me talking about it and was like, no, but I think that 570 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,400 would be a great story too, though you should. You should email him 571 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,199 and report back and see what he says. Yeah, that's that'd be a 572 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,719 good Okay, Yeah, okay, I'm going to do that. Yeah why 573 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,280 not? Like I mean, didn't you say he had a staff of people 574 00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:07,639 working for him, so many people? You never know, maybe somebody listened. 575 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,840 I did this other podcast that is a top podcast. I'm not going 576 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,159 to mention what it is. And here's why, because I was when the 577 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:22,199 guy mentioned me on his Instagram or whatever. I went to his Instagram and 578 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,199 I I you know, if you look at somebody's followers, some of these 579 00:41:27,199 --> 00:41:30,519 people have like so many followers, and then you start investigating a little bit 580 00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:34,800 and you realize these are all bots. Rights I telling you about that now, 581 00:41:35,079 --> 00:41:39,679 every single one of his followers was private, and every all and and 582 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,760 they were all a lot of them had the same like a different picture but 583 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,639 the same description. You could just completely tell that it was really they were 584 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,760 all fake. And I was like, and they all see and I'll tell 585 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:58,039 you why. It's these all these people in this like business community and they're 586 00:41:58,159 --> 00:42:04,079 all like so and so's podcast, thank you for putting out such a powerful 587 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,760 like they use these certain key words that are almost like seo words that and 588 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:14,239 they all anyway, I was like, Wow, this person bought a shit 589 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:20,760 ton of followers and probably buys downloads to his podcast because there I don't think 590 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,280 they're real downloads. And I'll tell you why. His podcast is in the 591 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,440 top one hundred. So when I got booked on it, I was like, 592 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,800 this podcast seems super boring and like not my audience, and it's all 593 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,480 like business development kind of thing. And he uh, it's similar to the 594 00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:40,880 guy John whatever his name is, right, the one that we were just 595 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:46,639 talking about. What's that guy's name again? John Edmunds Cosma Cosma, Yeah, 596 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:52,519 the Unimpressed podcast similar to that, but this guy super super boring. 597 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,880 So I have noticed that in these days, once I started paying attention, 598 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,880 a lot of podcasts by uh follow I mean, I'm sure a lot of 599 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:06,880 people in multiple industries by followers and downloads. I don't know about their downloads, 600 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,119 but I've noticed a lot of by downloads. I know, but I'm 601 00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:12,719 not going to be able to actually see that, you know, analytics. 602 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:19,440 But I have noticed small podcasts that seem rather boring that have just tens of 603 00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:22,039 thousands of followers. And now I'm wise and go, oh, those are 604 00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:24,719 those are gotten paid forwards. Before I was like, oh, this must 605 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,760 be big, It's like no, I've kind of wised up to looking at 606 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,320 that now, and I'll tell you why I do this guy's podcast. It's 607 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:35,719 like a top Put it this way. This guy is ranked way higher than 608 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:42,440 Adam, Like, he's in the top one hundred. Uh huh, he's 609 00:43:42,679 --> 00:43:46,639 in the He's in the top seventy of all podcasts, right right. No 610 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,840 engagement. Not one person reached out to me, not one Instagram, nobody 611 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,000 said hey I heard you on this podcast. And I was like, this 612 00:43:55,239 --> 00:44:00,079 is this something is so fishy about that. And if you go look at 613 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:06,800 the podcast itself, there's also no engagement on it, right, But there's 614 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:13,199 a lot of reviews and those seem bought as well. They're very generic and 615 00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:17,719 it's and they're all like five stars like nobody's which is just not If you're 616 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,360 that popular, right, you're gonna have a lot of haters, right, 617 00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:27,320 Anything that's popular has people that are like, why do you have this guest 618 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,920 on? Or that shocked or whatever? Right, that's what you know, 619 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,000 right, it's real. Yes, you have people that are like I didn't 620 00:44:32,119 --> 00:44:37,320 like blah blah blah, No, this was just all what an informative podcast. 621 00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:43,840 I feel so inspired by your your guests, And that's on iTunes reviews, 622 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,119 on the iTunes reviews, on the Apple podcast reviews. But then, 623 00:44:46,199 --> 00:44:51,440 like I said, just like zero engagement, nothing back in like there's ways 624 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:52,920 that you can tell and I'm like, oh, this is all smoke and 625 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:58,480 mirrors, right, Wow, what the I did not know that you could 626 00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:01,960 buy downloads? Yeah, you can make it. You can fake that. 627 00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:07,639 That's crazy and I don't know, like so if you're getting even if the 628 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,760 downloads are fake, I don't know if that helps you make money, but 629 00:45:13,039 --> 00:45:15,559 I doubt But here's the problem. Then, when you get ads on your 630 00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:21,599 show, nobody buybody's buying because nobody's actually listening to the podcast. So then 631 00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:24,800 you just get dropped by all the advertisement. Right, see, thank you 632 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,239 guys for buying all our stuff that we that we promote. Yeah, yeah, 633 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:34,599 because we don't fake any of our downloads, that's right, Yeah, 634 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:40,119 anyway we should. How much do I know? It's probably very expensive. 635 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:46,039 You have to really invest. Yeah, that's crazy. There's also there's certain 636 00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:53,639 things where they call it advertising. So this is like hard to explain and 637 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:58,599 I don't even really get it, but you can. Basically it's buying downloads. 638 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:05,079 You can go to these like ad companies that say you're paying for advertising, 639 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,360 and it's like, let's say it's a campaign and you pay like three 640 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:15,199 thousand dollars and then they guarantee a certain amount of downloads or subscribers to your 641 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:20,760 podcast. But like, how are you guaranteeing that? Very grand? You 642 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,960 know what I mean, Like it would have to be a decent podcast. 643 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,440 People are not going to just click on links. So it's that I know 644 00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:31,360 for a fact that that's also faked. It's like you in the old days, 645 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,039 and I'm sure still now. I mean, you can buy it's very 646 00:46:35,079 --> 00:46:38,320 easy to buy Instagram followers, is it really? I know I always hear 647 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,880 that, and it's true. Like Kaylin was saying, like I see these 648 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,039 people I don't know, like sometimes they're TikTokers or they're just you know, 649 00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:51,800 influence or whatever. I'm like, how the hell does this person have all 650 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,000 these followers? Like it just it doesn't make sense to me, like, 651 00:46:55,679 --> 00:46:59,599 you know, like who is she? Like? I don't feel like sometimes 652 00:46:59,639 --> 00:47:02,880 it does, though. I feel like there are people who have started podcasts 653 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,199 that buy all their followers and then other people see that they have a bunch 654 00:47:07,199 --> 00:47:09,320 of followers and then they go, oh, this is popular, and enough 655 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:14,880 people have that is actually generated a you know, a sizable audience to make 656 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,280 it successful. So I don't think it doesn't like not work. I think 657 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,960 it probably doesn't work a little bit. Yeah, I'm sure it does. 658 00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:23,000 But for the guy that I'm talking about, not the unimpressed, but the 659 00:47:23,039 --> 00:47:29,000 other guy is not working right, Like I couldn't find any real followers right 660 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,280 right, and he's not getting the engagement yea. So like people I mean, 661 00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:37,639 if you're doing a podcast that's that big, there's no possible way you're 662 00:47:37,679 --> 00:47:39,920 not getting a few people reaching out to be it direct, messaging you on 663 00:47:40,039 --> 00:47:45,559 Instagram and going wow, thank you for sharing your story something something.
