Oh that's not fair or so I know. 49 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,080 So I said, I go, what's gonna happen? Are you gonna 50 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,680 get a free slurpee out of it? Are you disqualified? And he goes, 51 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:54,439 I don't know. He goes, I'll find out when I get to 52 00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:59,479 school. So I don't know what happened. But yeah, no, funny 53 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,520 got its wild a in an interesting Alanis Morris at way. Isn't it ironic? 54 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,919 Don't you think, kaylin Hi, you had a a first Yeah, 55 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,000 tell us. We finally took the girls to the movies for the first time. 56 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:25,839 There's a new Paw Patrol movie out. It's scary taking your kids to 57 00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:28,759 the movie theater for the first time. Yeah, yeah, I was a 58 00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:30,759 little I was a little nervous, But then again, it's like, okay, 59 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:33,360 this there's only kids in this movie theater anyway, So even if they 60 00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:36,720 start acting up, it's like, it's gonna be fine because their old parents 61 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,680 are gonna understand. But it's funny because you know, they started watching Paw 62 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:46,759 Patrol and they got kind of into it and now when we, you know, 63 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,319 go to you know, it's like, Okay, what do you want 64 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:51,680 to watch? They never pick Paw Patrol, Like, they never really choose 65 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,560 to watch that show, but in their minds it's still kind of their favorite 66 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,480 show. I got them little like Paw Patrol stuffed animal for their birthdays and 67 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,959 it's become like their go to like they need, like if we don't like 68 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,120 the blanky Is Blake's, the things that cannot happen to these things the Blanky's 69 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,920 Blakes and I always got a little panda, So that's been their number ones 70 00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:15,480 ever since they were babies. But their secondary ones are these little Paw Patrol 71 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,319 stuffies that I got for them, and they take them pretty much everywhere they 72 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,000 go. But like I said, they don't really watch the show that much 73 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,600 anymore, but it's funny that in their minds it's still like their favorite show. 74 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,600 I think we're gonna do that for Halloween. I'm not sure. Yeah. 75 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,920 Yeah. So So when you took them to the theater, did they 76 00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:35,279 look up at the screen and go what that? Wow? Well, we 77 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,399 prepped them for that, were like, oh, there's gonna be a screen. 78 00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:42,040 It's bigger than the house. It's gonna be great loud, and they 79 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,879 seem pretty excited about it. Loud dark. So yeah, we took them 80 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000 there. We got them some popcorn. We got there real early too, 81 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,879 and it was one of those theaters with the chairs that moves so you hit 82 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,560 it and they were clins. Yeah yeah, yeah, so yeah, only 83 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,680 one I'll go to. You know me too, oh spoiled. Yeah, 84 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,720 Blake was having a bit too much fun with that. I had to tell 85 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:11,319 her at some point. And yeah, Blake got really excited when she saw 86 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,120 her little stuffed animal up on the screen. And Blake did seem to enjoy 87 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,399 it. She was having some fun. Did you have to explain what previews 88 00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:23,439 are because did you have to keep going like this isn't the movie? Yeah? 89 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,000 Yeah, well yeah we did. It's like why isn't it starting? 90 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:28,120 Why is then't It's like, no, no, it's coming after this one. 91 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,360 Okay, no after okay, no, after this one, It's coming. 92 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,439 And then they did a weird thing. It was like it was some 93 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:42,959 weird like Door the Explore mini movie. Oh okay, institu Yeah, I 94 00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:45,199 thought it was like a trailer for a Door the Explore thing, but it 95 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,480 wasn't. It was like a whole story that they did that probably took like 96 00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:51,040 ten or fifteen minutes. I was like, this is strange, but okay, 97 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:58,279 finally the movie starts. The lights go down, and I was not 98 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,199 super into it. She doesn't really seem to care. She's not like crying, 99 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,480 but she's not very excited either. Blake seemed to be a bit excited 100 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,360 for a little while, but she mostly just wanted to move the chair around 101 00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,040 and then sit on mommy's lap and then go back and said on my lap 102 00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:15,480 and uh yeah. And then afterwards I was like, nah, I didn't 103 00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:20,560 like it. Wow, the writing or the acting, like the voice acting. 104 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,279 Yeah, she wasn't into it, and I was like, oh, 105 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:28,079 okay, well that was kind of a letdown. But Blake liked it, 106 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,279 I guess, And so yeah, maybe it'll be like Disneyland where it'll hit 107 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,759 him later and they'll be like remember when we went to that movie, right, 108 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,800 Yeah, I'm guessing that's what it'll be like. But yeah, oh 109 00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,720 my god, I was so bored. Yeah. Yeah, the movie's like, 110 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,879 well, the good thing is is it's a movie with other kids, 111 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,399 so you're not yeah, now you're watching Shindler's List or something The worst movie 112 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:57,600 I ever sat through kids movie was the Emoji movie. Oh Got I mean 113 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,120 it was like torture. I felt like I was being tortured. I was 114 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,519 like and the kids where I think I believe too young to just like leave 115 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,000 them in there. And I kept thinking it was gonna be over any minute, 116 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,279 because you know, it's a kid's movie. It no story. It 117 00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:13,360 was just like, hey, kids love emojis, right, let's just put 118 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:18,839 some fucking emojis and make a move and just nothing happens. There's no pla 119 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,480 like. It was just like and another thing I don't like about a lot 120 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:26,279 of kids movies, even like the big ones that everybody loves, there's always 121 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,560 a part where just things get chaotic and there's a lot of noise and a 122 00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:35,320 lot of explosions, and like it's every movie starts out kind of quiet and 123 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,240 like, yeah, builds up a little story, and then it's like there 124 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,639 is some kind of hurricane and you know, everybody's blowing up, and it's 125 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,000 like and it's got you got to sit through. Tell it's like an hour 126 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,879 of okay, you know, dialogue. Then the big action starts right and 127 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,240 tension builds and how are they going to get out of the situation they're in, 128 00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,799 right, And it's loud and obnoxious for forty five minutes, yes, 129 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,200 and then when it comes I know the rhythm because I would take the kids 130 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,120 and movies and fall asleep and I'd go brace myself because I go, I 131 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:09,919 know it's gonna get loud in about an hour and ten minutes and I'm gonna 132 00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,200 have to sit through that. I know. It's just it's like and then 133 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,759 you think to yourself, like, how do these movies get green lit? 134 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,679 Like this is your script? There's not even a story. Okay, it's 135 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,200 a moji movie, but like have a story, right. I was surprised 136 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,960 at how loud it actually was, considering, you know, there's just a 137 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,080 bunch of kids in here. I mean, obviously this is Paw Patrol, 138 00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:35,399 so they you know, they solve crime, and so of course there's tons 139 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,600 of explosions. That exact blueprint is how the movie unfolds, and there are 140 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:43,039 lots of and I was like, wow, this is really loud for even 141 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,000 like I was not. I was expecting them maybe to turn it down a 142 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,399 little bit. Yeah, No, it's freaking loud too. Yeah. Yeah. 143 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,200 I remember when I took lb to her first movie ever. It was 144 00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:58,840 Shrek. It must have been Shrek two, even Shrek, maybe Shrek three. 145 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,840 We get in the theater, lights go down, Elbe's done like she 146 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,080 the curtain open. Elbe was like no way, started crying, screaming. 147 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,720 I had to bring her out of the theater. She was like and then 148 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:18,679 I had to just I had been driven there with my friend and her boyfriend, 149 00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:22,519 so I had to basically just like walk Elby around. Yeah, the 150 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000 I think we were at like Hollywood and Highland. Yeah, she walked around 151 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,279 for like. Yeah. I was worried Ila was gonna be like that because 152 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,039 she's kind of like me. She's a bit of sensory issues. You know, 153 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,240 things can tend to be a bit too much for her. That's like 154 00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:41,919 how I was when I was a kid. Uh So I was thankful that 155 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:45,360 at least that didn't happen. We didn't have to leave. She was she 156 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,639 seemed fine. Yeah, I can't remember my kids' first movie. I'm trying 157 00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:54,679 to think, like way back, I know that they were so into cars 158 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,840 the movie cars, and at some point cars too came out and we were 159 00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:01,159 just like, no, this is not good. If you like the planes 160 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,879 in the mix. Yeah, yeah it sucked. Maybe it was planes. 161 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,840 It wasn't playing. There was another movie playing that was that one was sucked. 162 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,519 Yeah, no, Pixars. They're falling offul together because all Pixar movies 163 00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:20,840 were so good, every single one of them, every single one of them. 164 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:26,559 Monsters ain't such a good movie. Incredible, incredible. Yeah. Toy 165 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:30,639 story, yes, really great movie toy stories. Yeah. Oh yeah, 166 00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,679 all the toy stories. And now I think their last like really good one 167 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,240 was Inside Out. We watched that. That one's really good, but I 168 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,080 don't think that they've really been Yeah. How's those swimming lessons? Oh those 169 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,320 have been done for a while. Yeah. So now it's just I was 170 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,279 in soccer. Soccer, Yeah, soccer is going well. She scored more 171 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,440 goals this weekend, and one other girl on the team gets super into it, 172 00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:56,240 and so it's them too, and then the other. Then there's a 173 00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:01,879 third girl that's like, she's into it, but she gets very emotional, 174 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,200 very quickly, so a lot of running back to her mom and crying when 175 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,559 anything happens. But at least you know she's doing her part when she needs 176 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,559 to be the other two they could not give a fuck. They just stand 177 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,200 around waddling and they're just kind of in it, not really and yeah that's 178 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:22,679 kind of the dynamic of our team right now. You're gonna get so competitive, 179 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:24,600 Yeah, I could just picture it. Or you're just gonna be like, 180 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:28,480 come on, just wait, you pick up your feet. Were yelling 181 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:33,080 at the parents like get your kids like side out even though it's in soccer 182 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,080 now. Yeah, it's gonna be uh, it'll be fun if they stick 183 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,080 with it. Yeah, she seems to really like it and she's pretty good 184 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,159 at it, which is nice. And then today she's starting dance again. 185 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,039 So now we got dance and soccer and then whatever thing they're doing for the 186 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,919 schools, which is every now and then. So it's getting busy and like 187 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 it's not even doing any of it yet. So yeah, by this time 188 00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:00,360 next year, I don't know. I am so excited that I'm at the 189 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,960 point where the kids tell me what's going on. Like I get the all 190 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:07,919 the even though they're in high school. I get all these emails like it's 191 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:13,120 spirit week this week. We just got back and I had Sadie telling me, 192 00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:16,000 oh, it's tomorrow, as we're going we have to go as our 193 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:20,840 favorite like cartoon character. Really what should I don't know what or animated? 194 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,200 No, it's something animated. And I was like, I got nothing. 195 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:30,039 I don't know the Incredibles. I told her, I have a T shirt 196 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,720 for John that's a Banana Splitz T shirt. But then I was like, 197 00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,879 no, that's actually was live action from like the sixties seventies. Anyway, 198 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:41,080 Sadie just looked at me, just gave me serious side and then and then 199 00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:46,000 came in and was like, Oh, I'm going as Kim Possible or something, 200 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,720 and Xander was going Xander was going as a maybe Xander was Kim Possible 201 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,639 and Sadie was something else. Xander always said Xander had an eyeliner on Oh 202 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,039 really yeah, very cool school. It's you know, it's funny when you 203 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,279 were talking about your stuffies with your kids. Yeah, and that was what 204 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,799 I got. So lucky on that one, by the way, because there's 205 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,360 this indoor playplace I've talked about where we take them and they're always kind of 206 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,200 in the windows, and you know, we would get them a lot of 207 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,759 stuffies over the years and they would really like it for like a day or 208 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:20,360 two, and then it just goes on the bed or in the pile or 209 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,519 whatever, and I just like, I took them one day and it was 210 00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:26,879 Isla's birthday, so it's just the one off. I was like, I 211 00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:28,759 took them there, Amy took them home, and I went, you know 212 00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,159 what, let me just buy one of these for each of them. They 213 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,639 didn't even seem to be into it that much anymore, but right, what 214 00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:37,039 do you know, that's like their favorite. They won't let them go now. 215 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,519 So I looked out with that one. Well, I was going to 216 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:43,840 tell you about the stuffies? Is that you never know? Yeah, because 217 00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:48,360 on this college trip with Natalia, she's got her blankie in her suitcase like 218 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,519 she travels, and she when she was younger, she i at she had 219 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:56,679 a pink one and he had a blue one. She took Sonny's blue one, 220 00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:00,840 and she to this day travels with that blue blankie in her and she 221 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,320 uses it as a pillow, like that's her pillow. Alb has a purple 222 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,759 blanket does It was from Pottery Barn kids. I think it's like a little 223 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:15,200 it feels like oh uh huh. It's that kind of that kind of feeling 224 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,639 like a valori and it's a kind of like a thick and I always had 225 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,919 it since she was yeah, literally like a few months old. Yeah, 226 00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:28,320 and Natalia still travels with I couldn't. I mean Sonny. He still has 227 00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:33,320 his pet and his hourly owl and he uses those. Those are his two 228 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,759 stuffies. The pd was a pet, the panda that when they got their 229 00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,559 pacifiers taken away at age three, I said, we can go to build 230 00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:45,200 a bear and you can get you know, this will be your new pacifier 231 00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,000 kind of thing. So he went to build a bear. He built his 232 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:54,159 panda and he it has the thing where you squeeze the hand and it goes, 233 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,159 I love you, I love you. Natalia snuffed that right out the 234 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,360 life out of Paty like early, like a dog. She likened. She 235 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,840 broke his arm so like his little pot like a rattles. It makes a 236 00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:11,279 rattle. Say it does not speak anymore because and Adam and Sonny will say, 237 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,480 yeah, she she snuffed a life. But he still sleeps with with 238 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,399 p D and Ali and his owl, and he uses them as pillows. 239 00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:19,960 I don't think he brings them with him if he spends the night. But 240 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,480 he took it to a band with him and he goes when he goes to 241 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:27,080 Monterey with Adam. He takes p d and Ali owl with him. Oh 242 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,399 my god, right now, I wonder if that's like a very common thing. 243 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:37,519 I think it is. Xander Sadie needs nothing. Sada's look really tough. 244 00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:41,039 But Xander had these little we call him, uh, well, this 245 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,200 is gonna sound so goofy, but we call it his. It's his fuffuff 246 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,440 Oh yeacause our friend had there were these little blankets that came from Target. 247 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,480 They're like a square, They're like a big square, and they have little 248 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:57,679 tags on them. Taggy blankets. Yeah, they have these little like ribbony 249 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:03,960 tags all over the well. Xander loved it so much when he was a 250 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,839 baby that we ended up getting like four of them because when Casey lost one, 251 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,640 like they all look exactly the same, and so we would you know, 252 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,359 if one got lost or one time one fell off on his way to 253 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,960 the park, and like we we had to anyway, That's when I was 254 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,720 like, oh, we got to buy we gotta buy some more backups. 255 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,240 Right, still has like three of them in his bed. It's fufuzz. 256 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:30,079 That's funny because if Ila's panda, it's like a little it's fairly small. 257 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,920 My mom got it for her at some handcrafted store over in England. I 258 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,000 mean, we didn't know that my mom still has my panda, like my 259 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,039 stuffy that I called it Sugar. That was my panda that I loved when 260 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:48,720 I was a kid. My mom kept it, gave it to Ila and 261 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:51,920 she has it on her bed. She likes this other one that my mom 262 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,279 got her instead. But then Ala took a liking to this little panda and 263 00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:57,559 liked it so much. We were like, Okay, we need to get 264 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,680 another one of these. Moms. You gotta go. You gotta go over 265 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,119 to that store and get another one. She had to like, She's like, 266 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,799 oh where did I get it? I go back there. She was 267 00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:11,279 looking for it for a while. She was able to get one that looks 268 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,200 ninety five percent the same that maybe just without some of the wear and tear, 269 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,559 and brought it over and it's not going to fool Eielay. She knows 270 00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:23,640 that's yeah. We can't interchange them out. It's clear. Even yesterday we 271 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,000 had to throw a pant in the wash because he was getting a little dirty, 272 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,920 and I tried to get her to go take the second one out and 273 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,759 she wasn't halfing it. Oh they know, it's like the way it smells, 274 00:18:34,319 --> 00:18:38,519 the way it feels. Yes, yes, yes, But Elbie is 275 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:42,839 going to be nineteen and she still sleeps with purple blanket and I will still 276 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,119 see her sometimes, like when she's tired or maybe like stressed or something. 277 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,720 I'll be talking to her in her room and she'll be holding purple blanket and 278 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,880 just kind of like stroking it, like yeah, running her hand back and 279 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,960 forth over it.

So do you search for recipes? You know, 315 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:44,480 it's because I follow uh Mommy, No Napiya, she's so freaking cute, 316 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,039 No Napia, what's for dinner? And her grandson the way he talks to 317 00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:51,559 her, it's just the cutest thing.

And the reason why I'm wearing slippers today is because of I 321 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,359 made dinner last night, and I'll tell you why. So it was kind 322 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,920 of confusing the weekend because I was taking Natalia out of town. Sonny was 323 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,960 gonna be staying at home now, Adam, I guess, you know, 324 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:25,799 we do have a schedule, so it was his weekend to be with the 325 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,799 kids, but I, unbeknownst to me, he was traveling, so Olga 326 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:37,000 was there. Now, Sonny can be fine by himself, but I think, 327 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,359 you know, Olga was around, like you know, she's got a 328 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,240 grandchild now, so she was coming late in the evening and just I guess 329 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,759 spending the night and then leaving in the morning. But she's told me this 330 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:52,519 a couple times and I completely forgot. But yesterday she was around yesterday and 331 00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:56,000 she which is un She's usually not around on Sundays. I was like, 332 00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:59,480 why are you here. She's like, well, I'm gonna be gone for 333 00:22:59,519 --> 00:23:03,039 two weeks, and I was like, oh okay. So now it's you 334 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:07,400 know, how's Natalia getting to work kind of thing. That's why I gotta 335 00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:10,240 like, she's got to get to work and she's got to get picked up, 336 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,799 you know, every day except for Fridays or whatever and Wednesdays. Now 337 00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:17,799 I think I don't know it reduced her hours yet now, not yet. 338 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,839 I mean, she only she's only there for like three hours to begin with, 339 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,759 but she should I think. I think during I think she's gonna keep 340 00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:29,000 going till Christmas break. I think I'm not sure, but that's what I'm 341 00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:33,160 hoping for it anyway. But anyway, and then there's other stuff just kind 342 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,079 of you know, the house is getting shown a lot, and if that's 343 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,480 the case, you know, we gotta clean the place and the place's got 344 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,279 to be vacuum the fill, hair fills. Another story. Oh my god, 345 00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:48,200 this guy got out again while I was in the backyard. He I 346 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:55,880 think our fence doesn't clatch. There's another fence that a gate that's like way 347 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,039 far off the property. Why you giggling, Kaylen. It sounded like you 348 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,720 just mixed together. I was like, that works, it works, Yeah, 349 00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:07,960 it doesn't. You know, it doesn't close or latch. Yeah, 350 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,160 that's my point. I'm trying to get to the point. So anyway, 351 00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:17,759 he's been getting out, so that the point is is that goes down in 352 00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,279 our house, you know, And there's days that I'm not there, so 353 00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:25,119 now I'm gonna be there a lot more. But anyway, last night I 354 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,480 was like, I'm gonna cook dinner spur the moment. So I made this 355 00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:34,000 bukatini. Have you ever made bugatini? It's my favorite pasta. I don't 356 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,359 even know what it is either. Okay, it's not linguini and it's not 357 00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:45,720 spaghetti. It's around the same thing. It's not angel hair. No, 358 00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:48,640 it's thicker, it's pretty. It's not thick, thick, but it is 359 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:55,240 a step above spaghetti and a step below linguini in my opinion. And it's 360 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,839 it's looks like spaghetti, but it's it's actually if you look at it, 361 00:24:59,839 --> 00:25:04,240 it's round. It's like a tube, but without an open it's without a 362 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,319 hole, Okay, if that makes sense. Yeah, so it's a it's 363 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:14,200 a round pasta okay. And it's long like spaghetti. Okay, it is 364 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,000 freaking If you see it, you'll and I'll post pictures of it. So 365 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,279 this guy on the video is making spaghetti, but I love Bugatini's my favorite, 366 00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:26,839 and we had it. So I made olive oil with guards is the 367 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,519 cooking show now, but like olive oil. The guy like you like he 368 00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:37,319 gets the olive oil boiling almost like in the pan uh huh, coats the 369 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,039 pan, but like with maybe a two inches worth of of olive oil, 370 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,000 and then takes the gar like I would slice the garlic like in good Fees, 371 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,920 but this guy takes the garlic gloves and smashes it and makes it flat, 372 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,039 puts it in and then it sizzles and the garlic gets cooked. And 373 00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:59,240 then right after you turn the heat down. Then I cut up cherry tomatoes, 374 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:03,119 yellow and red cherry tomatoes, cut the cut those up, put some 375 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:10,480 salt over them, through those oh basil, and all the screwed me because 376 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:12,000 she was like, I was gonna go to the store, and she's like 377 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,440 she was leaving and I was telling her what I was gonna make, and 378 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,240 she goes, no, no, we got basil. We got basil, 379 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,319 No, bitch, we didn't. We had only a little bit. And 380 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,240 this calls for a lot of bae basil. It would have been a lot 381 00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:26,200 better with more basil. But anyway, we had one of the little containers 382 00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:30,599 and some of them were dark and rotten already, right, so that's what 383 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:36,119 I was working with. But anyway, so put the tomatoes and you just 384 00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:40,799 like sauteam and then a little bit of water and then you cover them. 385 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,680 You cover it, and then they kind of steam and then they get like 386 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:49,640 mushy, and then you so you do all that anyway, and then and 387 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,640 then you boil the bugatini and then you take after the spaghetti's ready, you 388 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,920 put it into this the saute pan. Just I always think, you know, 389 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,839 you take the spaghetti, you put it on the plate, and you 390 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,279 pour the sauce over it. No, no, no, this guy took 391 00:27:04,319 --> 00:27:11,519 the spaghetti from the pot into the pan and mixed it all up with tomato 392 00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:17,440 and garlic and basil, and then he took the takes the parmesan and regatta, 393 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:25,759 regatta parmesan. Uh romana. It's the mix of is it romano? 394 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,799 Romano? Sorry? Romano and parmesan. I had just parmesan, So I 395 00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:36,799 sprinkled all the parmesan cheese and uh in there, mixed it all, get 396 00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:40,599 all that sop up that sauce, put it on the plate. Kids freaking 397 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:44,839 loved it, really loved it. Yeah, and they all ate dinner with 398 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,240 me. But my point with the slippers is is I thought I was sleeping 399 00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:52,960 there because I didn't you know, you travel you forget, and I was 400 00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:57,480 just thinking, oh, Adam's out of town, so and he was having 401 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,839 ogus stay here, so I thought, oh, it's Sunday. I don't 402 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,319 know. I was just I got back from the trip. I'm making dinner. 403 00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:06,599 I'm sleeping there. Well, then I get a text like he's on 404 00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:10,799 He's going to be home in like an hour. So I'm like, and 405 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,000 at that point, dinner's not even ready yet. So I'm like, you 406 00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:17,799 know, and I don't care if he comes, like whatever, it's up 407 00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:21,599 to him, right, But I guess he was tired. It was Sunday 408 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,839 night. So anyway, I was like, I told him, I said, 409 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,119 I made dinner, and he's like, I'll wait. So like he's 410 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,319 outside. So anyway, I gather my stuff, I get up, I 411 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:36,799 clean up, put the food away, and I leave and I go to 412 00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:38,960 my condo and I don't have any tennis shoes, any other shoes at my 413 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,359 condox up for high heels or flip flops, and so now I'm wearing my 414 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,839 slippers today. Where are your shoes at the house. That's what happens when 415 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,680 you do this nesting thing. You know, it's like someplace there's some stuff 416 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,960 at my condo, but most of the stuff is at my house. And 417 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,400 you know, I was traveling, I kicked off my shoe who was at 418 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,480 home, put on my slippers and then not that and then I I don't 419 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,599 have any kind of shoes at the condo. Let me ask you, like 420 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:14,079 a personal question. Yeah, does Adam like clean that much? Or like 421 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,240 when you go to sleep in your bed, do you have to feel like 422 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,240 like I want to wash the sheets or you know what I mean? Yeah, 423 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:26,359 no, no you do like does he change the sheets or do I 424 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,480 change? Just because I know he doesn't. He's not into having like a 425 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,119 housekeeper. No, no, she doesn't clean. No, she's not the 426 00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:40,160 only thing she she she does like the dishes or whatever, and she'll she'll 427 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,839 vacuum up dog hair in the kitchen, but no she doesn't go and do 428 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,680 bedroom. Now, So do you feel like you have to come home and 429 00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:52,279 like I I do all that, like you know, twice once every other 430 00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:56,559 week, and I do like a cleaning day and I change the sheets. 431 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,759 And although like the bathroom is my the master bell, like he's got his 432 00:30:00,839 --> 00:30:06,839 space downstairs, like his office, that's where usually he's his clothes and all 433 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,480 his grooming stuff is in his bathroom downstairs. You know, we're lucky enough 434 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,119 to have this situation, so I have my own space upstairs. I mean, 435 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:21,160 yes, he does pee and the sink I'm kidding, I'm kidding, 436 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,680 I don't. I think the sink is too high this house. But you 437 00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:26,640 have to make sure it's clean for when people are coming over, right, 438 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,839 Oh that yes, yes, oh yeah, yeah, he's not cleaning and 439 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,839 yeah, I mean the house needs to look like a showroom like so each 440 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:41,000 room. In fact, the kids have stuff for their bed that is folded 441 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:42,839 and put it into their closet. Right, So when the people come to 442 00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:47,559 look at the house, Pete and Ali, I'll get covered up with the 443 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,000 nice bedspread. So is it all really planned for when people are gonna come 444 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,680 by? Or is there ever any Yes, there's fun because the house is 445 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,920 still for sale, so we'll take what we can get. If the realtor 446 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,440 is like, hey, I got somebody wants to come today at three o'clock, 447 00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:07,279 I gotta get over there. Or if I'm not there, Olga's there, 448 00:31:07,359 --> 00:31:11,599 So somebody's got to get there and clean up the right mess. Have 449 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,319 there been a lot of people coming? There's been some people I like I 450 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,119 said, we had to put a pause because of the mold, right, 451 00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:22,079 but now it's been back in action and there's been some people coming by. 452 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,799 But like here we are, I mean, look at I was like thinking, 453 00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:29,400 oh god, we're gonna move in the middle of senior year, you 454 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:36,319 know, but so far we're staying put until the house gets sold. So 455 00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:41,039 we'll see, got it. Yeah, so a lot a lot going on. 456 00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:44,200 And then there was a dog that ran into our backyard last night while 457 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,960 we were outside. Oh wow, little his name was Compass and Sonny and 458 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,400 he got lost. So he like, he's a little like this a little 459 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,480 dog, and he came and ran it. He saw Phil, so he 460 00:31:56,599 --> 00:31:59,559 came up and said hi to Phill and like squeeze through the fence and was 461 00:31:59,559 --> 00:32:01,359 in our backyard. But then they were calling for him. They weren't, 462 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,680 you know, the owners weren't. But then they left and Sonny goes, 463 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:14,559 it's ironic. The dog's names Compass and he got lost. So yeah, 464 00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:21,440 before last week, Yes, I read my book for Audible. Yeah, 465 00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:24,880 yeah, I cannot wait for that freaking book because Stephanie, I was traveling 466 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,599 and I wanted a book to listen to. It. It's oh to you 467 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,000 have to listen to it, right, yeah, so that I think the 468 00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:36,039 audible version doesn't come out until like when the book is released. But uh, 469 00:32:36,839 --> 00:32:39,559 yeah, it was. It was kind of crazy. I mean, 470 00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:44,119 it wasn't crazy, but it was like you're really reading. I read. 471 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,480 So they set me up for three record days, okay last week, and 472 00:32:49,519 --> 00:32:52,240 then there were supposed to be three record days this week. They thought it 473 00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:57,599 was They estimated it would take between twenty seven and thirty hours to read the 474 00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:00,920 whole book. They based it on like how many pages is, et cetera. 475 00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:05,119 But I got it all done in three sessions and it yeah, so 476 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,599 it was from ten to three day, one day two, and then the 477 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,200 last day it was like ten to like one thirty. I was done. 478 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,319 So how does this work? Like, so you do you have a director? 479 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,920 That's that's so you sit in a booth and I had. So. 480 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920 The funny thing is that the last time I recorded books was a long time 481 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:29,279 ago because I haven't written a book since Gummy Bears. And when I recorded 482 00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:32,519 Gut I recorded Gummy Bears, it was a pain in the ass. Like 483 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:37,319 I remember, of course, I wanted to record myself this book because I 484 00:33:37,359 --> 00:33:40,079 wrote it, so I know how things should. I know how it sounds 485 00:33:40,079 --> 00:33:43,880 in my head, and I want to say it the same way. You 486 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,039 don't want to like listen to your book and know that somebody didn't quite get 487 00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:49,559 the joke that you were making, or you know, I don't know, 488 00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,559 not that I'm so good at it, because I'm not. And there were 489 00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:54,720 a couple of times where I was like, oh, I'm having to try 490 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,039 to do different voices. That's what I'm talking about, Like how is that 491 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,359 ye? Or like if I'm if I'm doing like John's voice, I try 492 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,279 to differentiate it and I sound like I'm doing like kind of a douchey like 493 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,159 oh, Stephanie, you know, but like you got to kind of differentiate 494 00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:14,079 it a little bit. Because I don't write every I don't. I try 495 00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:17,639 not to write, she said, he said, she said, I said, 496 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,960 he said, Like it's it's too repetitive sounding. If you do that, 497 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,440 if you're looking at a book, you can see that a different person 498 00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:30,719 is talking right right right, so you can you can understand what's going on 499 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,760 when you're reading it, but if you're listening to it, you have to 500 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,360 somehow make it clear that a different person is talking, so you have to 501 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,559 at least put a little something extra on the other voice. But anyway, 502 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,639 my point is when I read Gummy Bears and then I had to go back 503 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:49,960 in to do sippy cups and nap time, I was working with this guy 504 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,320 who was like he was basically the engineer. He was the one recording it 505 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,599 for me, but he was very argumentative, like there'd be a word or 506 00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:02,000 if I try to say something, even just change one word like an A 507 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,320 to the he'd be like, Nope, gotta go back and do it again, 508 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,679 where sometimes I'd be like yeah, but like the meaning, like the 509 00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:13,880 way I'm saying it is how I would say it, you know, even 510 00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:17,360 just making a contraction like I cannot believe. I'd say I can't believe, 511 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,719 and he's like, nope, you have to say it the way it's written. 512 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,400 Really, it was kind of a dick, so I was braced for 513 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:29,639 that. But the guy had a guy super nice. And then somebody from 514 00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,440 Simon and Schuster was like my director, but she didn't really direct me that 515 00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:38,559 much, but she was super nice, very compliment like every time she'd be 516 00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:42,119 like, oh I love that read, or you know, she had me 517 00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:45,400 take like a line or two over here and there. But wow, is 518 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:52,199 it hard to read listen to your own voice? Really for five hours? 519 00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:55,880 Just I mean we didn't take a lunch or it was just me just reading 520 00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:02,639 my book. But I will say that like I wasn't I wasn't mad at 521 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:06,400 it. Yeah, like you know, you can you know, it can 522 00:36:06,519 --> 00:36:10,599 just be you. I was braced for having to read the book and being 523 00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:15,199 like, ah, hey, this part's not good or whatever, but I 524 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,599 was like, oh, like it's pretty good, Like I love art on 525 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,159 it. Yeah. So and then at the end. I don't know if 526 00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:28,400 you saw the Sex and the City reboot and just like that, I've been 527 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,360 watching little bits and pieces of it. Well there's an episode where Sarah Jessica 528 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,840 Parker has to read her book and she's getting emotional during part of it, 529 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,679 and I was like, oh my god, that kind of happened to me. 530 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:43,880 And the second to last chapter is about my father and I was like, 531 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,440 oh, I got a little like choked up. But then they were 532 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,119 like do you need a minute, and I'm like, nah, I'm fine. 533 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,119 Just just for a second. I was like, oh, it's like 534 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:59,039 yeah, I'm going to take it home and read it. You can just 535 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:00,559 wait. It's good. It'll be on audible. You can listen to it. 536 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,880 Although you listen to my stupid voice for hours every week. I like 537 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,159 hearing your voice, I'm telling you. Like, I was like, it 538 00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:13,840 would be great if I had Stephanie's book on audible to listen to. We 539 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,159 should see if they'll do like an early release for friends, likely release written 540 00:37:17,159 --> 00:37:21,519 book they have that, Yeah, why not audible for people who need the 541 00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:25,239 audible? Yeah, send me the file. All right, let's take a 542 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,920 quick break, right, yep, Okay, we're back. I thought that 543 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,360 story would be better than it really was. Take that date on my life. 544 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,719 Yeah, Like in podcasting when you think about like, oh, I'm 545 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,960 gonna talk about this story and then you bring it up and it's like, 546 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,199 no, that was really no, But I'm that was interesting. I'm glad 547 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:51,480 you brought up the audio because I don't know how, like when Teresa was 548 00:37:51,519 --> 00:37:54,039 talking about it too, like you know, I don't know how they you're 549 00:37:54,079 --> 00:37:59,480 in a room. Yeah, So like it was interesting because this part was 550 00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:00,880 sort of interesting because it was just at a house. So they took this 551 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:06,440 house just on a residential street and they turned it into a studio. So 552 00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:10,320 all of the bedrooms are these suites, so they don't look like bedrooms anymore. 553 00:38:10,599 --> 00:38:15,199 So there's an area where the engineer sits and is like doing all the 554 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,840 you know, okay action, you know. But I was in a little 555 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,119 soundproof booth. I couldn't see anybody. So I've got the producer or the 556 00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:30,039 director from Simon in my ear. I have headphones on, I can hear. 557 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,119 It would be like if Kaylen was in his booth and we were sitting. 558 00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:37,039 You were sitting in a studio, but I'm in like a little box 559 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,480 and I'm reading my book off of like an iPad. Well, I'm sure 560 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,320 it was just like our old studio with all the things on the walls. 561 00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:49,360 Yeah, he was in a kind of a room like that. And then 562 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,800 I was sitting in a little like it was like the size of a little 563 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,360 closet, just room for a chair and a desk. And then I have 564 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,920 the iPad and I can talk, and I have headphones on, so I 565 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000 wasn't looking at anybody, so I was just literally like by myself. Yeah, 566 00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:07,440 that's so bizarre. And I had to have my phone on airplane mode, 567 00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:10,559 so it'd be like we'd read for a while a chapter and then we'd 568 00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:14,559 take like five minutes and I'd check and see if anybody was, you know, 569 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,920 right, because I got add so I'm like, yeah, you can 570 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,159 only do it for so long, like sit there and focus on the words 571 00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:24,360 on the page. And there would be times where I was like I don't 572 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,920 even understand, like I can't say that. There were certain sentences that I 573 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,000 was like, this is like a tongue twister. I literally can't get this 574 00:39:32,119 --> 00:39:37,039 sentence out articulating right, you know, because you have to just be careful 575 00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:43,519 and articulate each sentence so people can understand it, but then also sound conversational. 576 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,320 It was hard get you get in your head and then you're like, 577 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,760 I don't I sound weird now that word sounds weird? Yeah, And then 578 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,639 like when you're high and stoned, it was like that, I swear to 579 00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:58,360 god it just because I was also hot. Like at one point I was 580 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,440 like, I'm going to pass out, but I'm going to try to this 581 00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:02,559 chapter. And finally I was like, guys, I gotta i gotta take 582 00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:07,159 a break. Yeah I can imagine. Yeah, Wow, I'm excited though 583 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,079 things It made me excited to see that. I was like, oh, 584 00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:14,800 it's already October. Isn't that great When you like you did a product, 585 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,400 you're reading it and you're like, wow, it's pretty freaking good. I 586 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,239 have to say, like, well, you're proud of considering. Yeah, 587 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,199 And every day writing it was kind of torture. I don't there's nothing that 588 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,360 makes me more anxious and like than a writing deadline where you're like, I 589 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,039 have to write a book and it needs to be good, and then I 590 00:40:32,199 --> 00:40:36,840 every day I'm like, God, I cannot believe someone's paying me to write 591 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,559 a book. I suck at this, like I you know, it just 592 00:40:39,679 --> 00:40:44,800 it takes a while to get back in the mode of writing. But my 593 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:49,519 whole goal for this book was to try to sound conversational, you know, 594 00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:52,920 and not try to sound like a tryhard like trying to make floweries. Because 595 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:58,760 sometimes I go into this thing where I'm like trying to sound good, you 596 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,480 know, like and then and trying to make it like like yeah, like 597 00:41:01,519 --> 00:41:05,039 so I sound like a real writer. And then I write it that way, 598 00:41:05,079 --> 00:41:07,920 and then I go back and read read it and I'm like, oh, 599 00:41:07,079 --> 00:41:10,840 do I think I'm kidding? It doesn't sound like stupid? Yeah? 600 00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:15,960 Yeah, I mean like I mean, I can't cannot compare at all. 601 00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:20,840 But like reading the kids's essays and helping them write their essays is a little 602 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,599 daunting too, like you know, like you want them to put their best 603 00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:28,840 foot forward, especially with my kids, you know, and and their their 604 00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:31,320 you know, their grades and stuff. So like they really got to put 605 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:37,280 together a really polished essay and I want them to have the And Natalia was 606 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,039 just gonna send it off without me reading it or anything. And I gotta 607 00:41:40,079 --> 00:41:45,800 say, like her college counselors, I don't know if writing's not his strong 608 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,119 suit, but like what like at one point, she said she was trying 609 00:41:50,159 --> 00:41:53,280 to describe her dad, like what her dad does, and he kept putting 610 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:58,679 celebrity and she's like, I changed it out. I don't want to use 611 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,920 the word celebrity. And then she gave it to him again and he changed 612 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,400 it back again, and she's like and I was like, Okay, now 613 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,280 I know we're dealing with like no, no, no, no, can 614 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,280 I like I want to like, let me help you, let me help 615 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,760 you, And I'm a writer. Does the celebrity aspect though, like kind 616 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:21,400 of little influence into their decision to let someone into the school, Like if 617 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,039 that's the case, then that's what I was thinking. Maybe he's just like, 618 00:42:23,079 --> 00:42:28,079 oh well, maybe this I can help. It's this, that's what 619 00:42:28,159 --> 00:42:30,480 I and I should talk to him too, But like about that. But 620 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,639 there's other ways of saying, like my father is a you know, professional 621 00:42:36,639 --> 00:42:40,280 broadcaster slash comedian, Like I think that's all you need. Yeah, it's 622 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,280 just a professionals And it's implied, right, She's wanted. She wants to 623 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,119 say what her father does for a living and he didn't go to college, 624 00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:50,960 like her whole thing is he didn't go to college, and he thinks, 625 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,480 you know, hard work and you know, finding out what your passion is 626 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,840 is, you know, can be better sometimes than going to college or whatever 627 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,000 it is. So you know she's trying to so anyway, I see what 628 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,880 she's trying to do, but and what he's trying to do. But yeah, 629 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,559 they're like, there are other ways of saying somebody's a celebrity without saying 630 00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:15,400 celebrity. Elbe. When she was doing her essays, if this makes you 631 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,800 feel any better? Yeah, not that I thought her college counselor was that 632 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:22,760 great because she didn't know what an impacted major was, right or she did, 633 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,519 but she didn't think that applied to anyway. It doesn't really matter. 634 00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:30,920 The point is she was great at helping Elbe form her essays. So like 635 00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:34,800 LB was brainstorming and then she was like, okay, you need this part 636 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,639 to open, and then you need to describe this, and then like here's 637 00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:39,480 how you know, and then an ending. But when it came to the 638 00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:45,000 actual writing one of Elbe's she basically like cut the balls off the thing. 639 00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:52,440 Like I was like, well, the part that's interesting and fun and personality. 640 00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:54,599 She crossed it all out and Elbie re read it to me and I 641 00:43:54,639 --> 00:43:58,320 was like, oh, hell no, no, that was the good part 642 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,159 of the essay. She made it sound like a super standard, generous sounding 643 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,199 essay. She took your personality out of it, put your personality back in. 644 00:44:06,559 --> 00:44:08,760 Yeah. Yeah, So I just told her. I was like, 645 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:14,360 listen, you gotta go with your own instincts on certain things. But for 646 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,800 sure, Elbie read me a couple of hers that were like not good, 647 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:22,440 like they needed a full rewrite, and I was like, okay, so 648 00:44:22,519 --> 00:44:25,679 how did you do that? Like did you? I saw her? Well, 649 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:30,239 we when we got to the point where I was getting mad because she 650 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,320 wasn't you know, remember when she came in and was a guest and said 651 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:36,119 there was a part where my mom was like, you're not leaving until you 652 00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:39,119 do this, because she thought it was just going to be way easier to 653 00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:44,400 write than it was. So she wrote kind of half asked it. So 654 00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:47,360 I was like, okay, let me hear them, right, mar what 655 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,480 you got? Yeah, you're sitting home before you send it off. So 656 00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:53,840 she read it to me and I was like, hmmmmm, the one that 657 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,280 you worked on really hard, that one's good. We're good on that. 658 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,800 The second one needs a little bit of finn but the third and fourth ones 659 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,239 I was like, no, no, this is not a fully fleshed out 660 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:09,360 idea. Even so then we talked it through. She didn't get upset. 661 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,519 She was just like okay, And I was like, look, why don't 662 00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:16,519 you I don't like. I was like, how do you feel about this? 663 00:45:16,679 --> 00:45:20,079 Like what is the thing that you're trying to say? And then she 664 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,199 sort of articulated it to me. I was like, okay, write that 665 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,960 down, and then I really I helped her. I was like, what 666 00:45:25,039 --> 00:45:31,320 if you open it like with this? And then I wasn't like dictating it 667 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,199 to her by any stretch of the imagination. It would have sounded like an 668 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,639 adult wrote it. But I was like, what if you opened it like 669 00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:40,360 with this part and then now write something about that, Now write something about 670 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,559 this, and then and then she and then she'd be like, oh, 671 00:45:44,639 --> 00:45:45,800 I have an idea, okay, and I know how it's going to end. 672 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:51,360 And then then I left her alone. She rewrote, came back in, 673 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,800 listened to it. I was like, Okay, this is much closer. 674 00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:58,559 I still think the ending needs to have this. And then I would 675 00:45:58,559 --> 00:46:01,239 try to get her to take out a few things because she would get married 676 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,320 to everything she writes, which I totally understand. Right, She'd be like, 677 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,320 but I think that part sounds really good, and I was like, 678 00:46:07,039 --> 00:46:10,440 I think you already said like four descriptive words about that. I think you 679 00:46:10,519 --> 00:46:15,719 know right, less is more anyway, and then like that. But it 680 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,679 was painstaking. It took I mean it took with two days. Yeah, 681 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,440 I told Natalia, I said, you know, well, first of all, 682 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,199 we were going to work on it on the plane ride home, but 683 00:46:25,559 --> 00:46:31,360 as I described previous podcast, right, it was a big kashaw right, 684 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,880 No, nothing was working anyway. Then we get home and everybody's exhausted, 685 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,480 so anyway we have that we have. I told her, I said, 686 00:46:38,599 --> 00:46:43,400 I want you to carve out a few hours so that I can sit with 687 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,000 you and we can like re you know, not redo it, but like 688 00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:52,159 polish it. And but this like it's a good it's maybe Stephanie, you 689 00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:57,119 should teach like a side thing on how to how to help your child write 690 00:46:57,119 --> 00:47:00,960 their college essay. I mean there are people that really do that. There 691 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:06,719 are college essay There's one called the college essay guy. You can outside of 692 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,800 your college counselor do like a little service where they it's not even like a 693 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,559 class. They'll just help your kid with their essay send the essay to them. 694 00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:16,280 But I mean I can do it. I could. You could. 695 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,360 She could send it to me if you want. Well, I just I 696 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:25,119 was thinking, like how to sit with her and have her like give her 697 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:30,800 ideas and you know, just then hasten to it and you'll tell you'll know, 698 00:47:30,199 --> 00:47:35,559 like, Okay, this isn't sounding so smooth or like it needs a 699 00:47:35,599 --> 00:47:37,440 better slightly better ending. How else could you end it? You know, 700 00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:42,039 just ask her questions about it, like how do you feel? How did 701 00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:45,480 this make you feel? Like make sure there's some passion in there, make 702 00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:50,960 sure it doesn't sound too stilted to like, and then I feel that it 703 00:47:51,519 --> 00:47:55,639 Also one thing that helped me was I went online and I looked at a 704 00:47:55,679 --> 00:48:00,519 lot of essays. Winning college essays, uh huh yeah, and then go 705 00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:06,960 with the ones that are the most like, don't worry about if the style 706 00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:09,199 is something that's not what you like. Some of the ones that get kids 707 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:14,800 into college are super fucking braggy. And that's not what Elbie was going to 708 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,039 be doing because a regular kids, she doesn't have a million. She's not 709 00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:20,599 talking about how she like, you know, came up with a cure for 710 00:48:20,639 --> 00:48:23,119 cancer, you know, have a light bulb moment happened for her when she 711 00:48:23,159 --> 00:48:27,679 looked at cell A and sell like, that's not going to be her essay. 712 00:48:28,199 --> 00:48:31,280 So I kind of tried to keep in my brain some of the ones 713 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:38,280 that most college essays feel like you're telling a story. They shouldn't sound really 714 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:43,760 dry, yeah, I think. And and then Sunny read me one of 715 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:49,679 his and I actually was like, Wow, that's really pretty good, Like 716 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,559 I understand like what he was getting at, had the passion he used, 717 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:59,039 you know, his vocabulary was really great, you know, but I still 718 00:48:59,079 --> 00:49:00,960 want to work with, so I have to set him some time with him. 719 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,480 She's more on a deadline though, because she wants to do this early 720 00:49:05,519 --> 00:49:09,480 decision stuff. So and he's coming up on his deadline too. But they 721 00:49:09,519 --> 00:49:15,519 both said that they would carve out time to let me. They never let 722 00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:17,400 me help them with anything. They never want to share any like can I 723 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,519 read it before you go, like even their homework and stuf like I got 724 00:49:21,559 --> 00:49:22,159 it, I got it. I'll show you when I'm done, you know 725 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:28,400 kind of thing and just tell him good to know that now they will, 726 00:49:28,519 --> 00:49:30,639 Yeah, I say, they don't have a choice. And it has to 727 00:49:30,679 --> 00:49:36,079 be proof read, like you have to hear it for if this something is 728 00:49:36,159 --> 00:49:38,960 really off. Yes, sometimes they won't notice it right. Oh and when 729 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:43,039 they read it, like Sonny was reading it out loud. See, I 730 00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:45,519 was like, that's why you have to read it out loud. You make 731 00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:49,039 sure to read it out loud because there are times like he was stumbling a 732 00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:51,760 little bit and he's like, oh that doesn't sound right, and he fixed 733 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,719 it. So yeah. So but they both said that they would that they 734 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,320 understand that that this is important for their common up right. This is their 735 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,960 like personal statement or whatever. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, so 736 00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,920 all right, all right, well I think it will go great and I 737 00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:12,960 fingers crossed, thank you.
