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.

I'm gonna make a dinner again. 312 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.319 And I've been looking at you know, I love TikTok, this thing called 313 00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.160 TikTok because it gives you all these different recipes and like like a snap and 314 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.799 then you get inspired. 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. So because of that, there's this 318 00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:55.839 other hot Italian guy that shows up in my feed now that is showing off 319 00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:02.039 his you know, cooking, and he made like this pasta that looked so 320 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:06.839 fricking good. 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.
