Oh my gosh, 3 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,199 happy to see you. Hey. Now we just did a killer Patreon 4 00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:31,640 Yeah no killers, good choice of word. Yeah. Lynette told a very 5 00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:35,320 disturbing story which you guys will have to tune in for. That's Wednesday, 6 00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:41,640 yep, but today's Tuesday. Sure, is hi, Caitlin. Almost the 7 00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:45,079 end of the school year for my kids, Well it is. They're done. 8 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,880 They're done as okay, yeah done the time you're listening. Yes, 9 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,280 they're done. Actually, yeah, they're done now. They've been done since 10 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,640 Friday basically, and then this Thursday they graduate. This Thursday they graduate. 11 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,799 They have a senior brunch on Wednesday at school and that's about it. They 12 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,200 went to Universal on Friday night for Universal Bash. Was they were exhausted and 13 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,120 tired. It was good. I mean, they had fun. Do they 14 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,040 go all night? Yeah? They They closed the park for the kids, 15 00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:22,680 so the park was open to the public till like eight and then after that 16 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,200 they shut it down for all the seniors for senior night, for grad night, 17 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,599 and it's open until I think they was one one thirty. They got 18 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:38,680 home at like two. When Elbie graduated, their grad night was at Disneyland, 19 00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:44,079 but it was from like everybody went at eleven am. They closed the 20 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:47,599 park at eight to the public, and then everybody stayed till four am. 21 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,519 And Elbi was like, oh hell no. Yes, she was like, 22 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,280 I don't love Disney Like I'll go to Disneyland, but I get tired of 23 00:01:55,319 --> 00:02:00,760 Disneyland on a regular way to five hours. It's like that's way two laws. 24 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,000 I don't want to be held, you know. And here's the thing 25 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:08,120 that sucks with this school is that if you want to go, you have 26 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:13,400 to. If you want, you you can go on your own and drive 27 00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,599 yourself, but you have to leave at eight o'clock when they shut it down 28 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,639 to the public. If you want to go and be part of the school 29 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:23,599 and have it open all night, you have to get on the school bus. 30 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,199 So you can't come. You can't just leave leave, you cannot leave, 31 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,520 you get picked up, you can't. And there Elbie told me, 32 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,840 I mean there were kids the one where they had to stay till four am 33 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:37,400 and they'd been there since eleven am before. Albie said, I mean her 34 00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:39,560 friends some of her friends went, and they've complained about it in years past. 35 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:44,000 They do the same thing every year. But I saw pictures kids were 36 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,759 just sleeping. That's that's what Natalia was saying. She was exhausted. She 37 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,759 was like, I was done, and universal like, there's not It's not 38 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:58,879 Disneyland. There's not that much to do. But even Disneyland is not Disneyland, 39 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120 right, It's it's it's fine, yeah, but like, how many 40 00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:05,319 times are you going to go on like the Ariel's Grotto? I know, 41 00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,400 yeah, we like, I mean how many? Honestly, Space Mountain's fun, 42 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,960 but it's not like go on it thirteen times until four am? What 43 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,439 are you going to fucking do? I know, I know, yeah, 44 00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:22,360 And it's super expensive. I know. It was like a couple one hundred 45 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,719 bucks yeah for times two for me, yes, yeah, it was like 46 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,479 one seventy five. Yeah. You know what nobody tells you, like when 47 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:36,319 you have twins, nobody says like you think, oh, I'm just gonna 48 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,719 have to get through the early stages where I have to buy double the diapers 49 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:44,240 and double all that stuff. But you don't realize also double the college, 50 00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,080 also double the medical bills, also double the yearbook and everything. Buy a 51 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,639 yearbook. It's like, oh, do you want a yearbook? Okay, 52 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,280 ching, Ching. It's not just buying your kid. It's not one thing. 53 00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:59,800 Every time your kid needs a you know, prom whatever, everything you 54 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,319 two times two yes. And we didn't ask for that. It's not like 55 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,759 we signed up somewhere and said I'd like to have twins now. Can you 56 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:15,400 imagine a triplets? You know, And luckily Sonny wears like the same thing 57 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,120 every year, but basically Natali's got to get a new dress for everything. 58 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,199 Imagine if I had two girls, like yes, cha chan cha ching. 59 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,040 The other thing that sucks with twins is just every single year at the beginning 60 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:30,759 of the year, all the forums you have to fill out for the new 61 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,199 school year, all the emergency forms, all the medical all of this. 62 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,480 And it's times too. When we got the permission slip for a universal, 63 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:44,079 they brought one home and I was like, I'm just gonna put Sonny and 64 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,319 Italia here's their contact, Like I'm a saving paper.

You know, an emergency 69 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:09,439 phone number, like just I've been through it so many times. It's crazy 70 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,240 times too. I'm so happy that right this minute, LB is something happens 71 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,199 between and you're going to see between like this year where you're at right now, 72 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,160 and like next year. Elbe needs me for very little. Elbe needed 73 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,480 a prescription, called in to the pharmacy, and I tried. I couldn't 74 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,279 have anything to do with it for certain reasons right, And I was like, 75 00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:36,560 well, the only way that I can see to get this done. 76 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:42,160 I was trying to help her, but I wasn't able to. She took 77 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,879 care of it. She got on the I gave her the number for our 78 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,079 Telehealth m HM and the and the website. I was like, get this 79 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,959 app. So she did, took care business, got her prescription, called 80 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:56,240 in, went and picked it up. And then the following month they wouldn't 81 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:00,560 renew it because telehealth for some reason, when you get a prescription through talth 82 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,199 right, you only get one month's supply. So she had to call she 83 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,720 I was She was like, don't worry, mam, I got it. 84 00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,639 Yeah. I was like, really wow, she goes, oh yeah, 85 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,399 took care of it. I went on the telepe. It was so fun 86 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:16,600 my appointment. She knows our our insurance number. She had it called into 87 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,920 the pharmacy and then she went and picked it up and have a good day. 88 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:24,600 I didn't have anything. That's so funny because this morning I'm dealing with 89 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:30,759 telehealth because last so last night there was like graduation at one of the other 90 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,720 schools that the kids went to, and then a party of course, and 91 00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:39,959 then Wendy's in town for the graduation. So she's staying with me and her 92 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,759 oldest daughter, Jackie is there too, so we had a little slumber party, 93 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,199 the three of us. But I go to bed, like I let 94 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,319 them sleep in my room. I'm sleeping in the guest room. I'm like, 95 00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:51,439 I should like test these rooms. I'll let me test this room out. 96 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:57,680 So they slept in my room and at two thirty three o'clock in the 97 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,319 morning, Italia comes in my room and she's like, my eyes are killing 98 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:06,319 me now. Before she went out, she Natalia has contacts and a lot 99 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:11,279 of times she doesn't switch them out like she should. She wears them too 100 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:14,480 long and her eyes. Starked about it, so before she was going out, 101 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:16,519 she was like, my contacts are bothering. My eyes hurt. She 102 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,000 kept saying, my eyes hurt so bad, and they did look red. 103 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,079 But I was like, well you did, did you you know? She's 104 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,759 like no, And then she did. She did everything she was supposed to 105 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,800 do with her contacts. She put in the like soothing drops, and then 106 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,399 she went out and then she came home last night, mom, and she 107 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:38,600 would never wake me up if it wasn't She's like, my eyes hurt so 108 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:41,839 bad. She was like in tears, like I can't sleep, like they 109 00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:44,879 hurt really bad. She's like, look how red they are. And I 110 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,720 was like, oh, I think you have like pink eye or something. 111 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,360 And she's like, you know, she's like, what the hell's that? 112 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:54,720 And I explained it to her. She's like, ew, you know. 113 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,839 I'm like, you could get it from you know, a toilet sea, 114 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,279 a toilet sea like fee go go back tears and she's like what the fuck? 115 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,600 She's like, do you think I got it at universe? I'm like, 116 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,199 who knows? Yeah, the rail yes, rubbing yes. And she's 117 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,639 always rubbing her eyes because her eyes are always bugging her for something, although 118 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,879 they were already bugging her before she went No, this was no, this 119 00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:18,399 was she the universal was a couple of days ago. Oh go last night 120 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,519 before she went out for this other thing. So anyway, her eyes were 121 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,959 and I was like, okay, well, try to go to sleep, 122 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,759 you know, and we'll deal with this in the morning. I get up 123 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600 this morning and I'm like, I gotta go to work her. Her eyes 124 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,480 were glued shut, you know, she couldn't like her eyes were just you 125 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,399 know, bothering her. And I said, Wendy, can you help her? 126 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,320 And so Wendy's like, not that great with technology, but Jackie's there. 127 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,960 So anyway, I said, and I said, Natalia, you know 128 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:50,200 you're gonna have to learn how to do this and if you if Wendy wants 129 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,840 to take her to urgent care, I had to give her the insurance cards 130 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:54,679 and stuff. But she's going to be turning eighteen, you know, on 131 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,960 Friday. But it's like, you're gonna have to learn how to do this 132 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,039 telehealth. And she's like, I much rather not go to urgent care. 133 00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:03,919 And I said, okay, well, and I told her what to do. 134 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,240 I said, go on, I explained it to Italian. I said, 135 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,639 have Anti Windy and Jackie help you. I gotta go. So I 136 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,080 just got a text that they did it and her prescription is being called in 137 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,519 in like two hours. Yes, this is telehealth is the very best. 138 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,320 Yes, it's the best. It is the last time I was really sick 139 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,679 and I think I had already gone to urgent care. So I had the 140 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,120 flu. This was a while ago, like a year ago, and I 141 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,159 was like not getting better. And then I couldn't get my doctor's office to 142 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,960 return my call, and I didn't it was going to be a long wait 143 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,360 to go in there. Anyway, I add of desperation, used telehealth. 144 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,919 I hadn't ever done it before, but I was on the health insurance website 145 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,600 and it was like try telehealth twenty four to seven, and I it was 146 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,879 kind of a pain at the beginning because you have to like register for it 147 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,440 and I have to fill out your profile and blah blah blah. Then you 148 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,399 have to get an you're an app. But I was like, once I 149 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,159 did all that, you're like, now you're invested, you know what I 150 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,679 mean.

But then to 152 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:15,440 actually do the appointment, it's like so easy. You call a number. 153 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360 It basically goes, do you want to do it by the phone? Do 154 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,840 you want to do a video chat if? And then you sign up like 155 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:22,600 yeah, I want to do it by phone. They go all right, 156 00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,879 you're gonna get a call in nine minutes. Yeah.

Last night we were having fun in the kitchen with 204 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,600 them. Like Sonny was cracking everybody like he was, you know, putting 205 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,600 on his cap and gown. And I was telling him, I said, 206 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:22,320 all the boys I see on on Facebook, of everybody posting their of their 207 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,879 kids all have the boys are wearing ties. Are you gonna wear a tie? 208 00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:28,720 And He's like, no, why do I have to wear a tie 209 00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,519 because it's graduation. He's like, well, maybe I'll wear it for the 210 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,000 pictures or something. I'm like, come on, Sonny, you know. 211 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,879 So Auntie Wendy was like ironing out there, you know, steaming their cap 212 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:43,480 and gown. I would have never thought to do that. I would have 213 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,039 just taken it out of the package and just fluffed it out. Maybe. 214 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,120 But she's like, you can't let him go like that. They got creases 215 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,679 in him. You gotta steam them out, you know. So we were 216 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:58,320 steaming them out and blah blah blah, and we were talking about we talked 217 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,720 about planting. We talked about the hip hop class thing because Jackie was there, 218 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,360 and I was like, you know, Jackie was like, I want 219 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,879 to be the cool even though I'm your guys's cousins, I want to be 220 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,679 the cool auntie, you know, because she's like in her forties, you 221 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,960 know, right now, and she's married but she never had kids, you 222 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,679 know, And so she's like, I want to be the cool auntie like 223 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,799 you guys think of me. And she's like, you know, and I 224 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,919 go, you're gonna take him to hip hop class and she goes, oh 225 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,720 yeah, and then Natalia goes, I just figured out. I just found 226 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,519 out what that meant, by the way, with the hip hop last thing. 227 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,080 Yeah, And then we had to explained it to Sonny and he was 228 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000 like, yeah, okay, I got it, I got you. He 229 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,279 was like embarrassed. I'm sure Natalia has been to hip hop class by now. 230 00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,600 Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah. She's got all 231 00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:48,840 her lessons every month planned out. Yes, my gosh, that's so funny. 232 00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:52,480 Do you remember last year when Elbie graduated this? I just remembered this. 233 00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,639 I probably told this story last year. But when Elbie got her gown, 234 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,480 she was like, oh, it's way too long, That's what Sadie 235 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:04,960 was saying. So then I had to She got super panicked about it. 236 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,240 So I had to take it to the tailor. We had to find a 237 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:11,360 tailor, like a twenty four hour tailor. I'm out there googling, like 238 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,360 okay, and I have to. So I had to feel like LB had 239 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,799 to work or she had school or whatever. So I was like, Okay, 240 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,600 how short do you want it? She like points like on her leg, 241 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,519 so I take a really bad measurement. I'm like, okay, so, 242 00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,240 like you want it right below your knee? You sure you don't want 243 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,480 it like midshin And she's like, no, I want it like it should 244 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,480 be here. And she points to like, you know, like two inches 245 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:40,759 below her knee, and I'm like, okay, you're sure, Okay, 246 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:44,440 bring it into the tailor. They twenty four hours. It costs me a 247 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,759 freaking armadal. I think it costs like forty bucks. Yeahes just to turn 248 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,279 it around in twenty four hours and hemmet and then I go get it and 249 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,279 then I bring it to her and she's like, yeah, okay, this 250 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:57,440 is good, this is this is correct. She comes out her thing is 251 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,879 way shorter than everybody, and everybody we have all these pictures from when they 252 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:07,279 all did pictures at their friend's house in their cap and gowns before we even 253 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,720 went to the graduation. It looks ridiculous. It's so much shorter. But 254 00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:15,000 then, you know, I'm not going to say anything because it's not even 255 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,680 the graduation, because I don't want her to freak out. Yeah, so 256 00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:19,559 I'm like, oh, it's great, you know, I'm like, how 257 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,920 does she not? How is she not going to see it in the pictures 258 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,519 that hers is way shorter than everybody? Maybe she said anything, she didn't 259 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:30,680 care, She didn't care, but normally she likes, you know, her 260 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,680 whole thing is I have to blend, blend in right, right, And 261 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,920 I think that the reason she was upset is that it was so long, 262 00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,799 was because it didn't blend right. But then she really didn't blend. But 263 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,839 either either it upset her and she just didn't say anything because what are you 264 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,400 going to say? Or she just didn't really notice or she was like, 265 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,799 yeah, I like it like that. Yeah, yeah, I know we 266 00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,880 were talking about that. Yeah, there's a very long too, you know. 267 00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:59,000 Yeah, and I think they're supposed to be. I think they're supposed 268 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,240 to be too, Like Auntie Wendy's like, I can have it for you 269 00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:04,599 guys, and they're like, I don't know. Natalia is gonna be fine 270 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:08,680 because she's probably gonna have heels on. But you know, but and Sunny 271 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,480 doesn't care, you know, right, like okay, well you're gonna trip 272 00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:18,400 over it. But Sunny is gonna be wearing basketball shorts. I know. 273 00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:22,640 No, I gotta get his suit ready. And he's got a nice shirt. 274 00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:26,119 Uh yeah. Albie had to have a dress, right, so she 275 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,559 just had a freaking prom dress. Now she had a graduation dress which she 276 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,799 had to buy earlier, and it had to be white. Now you're shopping 277 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:38,079 for a white dress. I don't know why. And so yeah, anybody's 278 00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:41,400 gonna wear a white dress. But everybody's covered in their cap. I mean 279 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,359 they're down, so what you know, I don't know what. I guess 280 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:51,400 you take it off or whatever. So we have that. Yeah, so 281 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,680 we got, you know, a lot, and then this week like, 282 00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:56,400 so Wendy's in town, so she's helping me with the house, like just 283 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,319 kind of dialing it in, like Okay, you should put this here, 284 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,640 we should get you know, you got to order. I got stools ordered 285 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,079 for the the you know, the island where everybody sits. It sucks because 286 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:11,880 the couch isn't there. So we made like, I have the outdoor furniture 287 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,640 inside. But then we also made like a bed on the floor in the 288 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,200 living room with tons of pillows, so we're all we can watch a movie 289 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:21,359 and like lay there and stuff, or you can sit in the outdoor chair 290 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,640 whatever. So like the kids come and go and watch TV with us, 291 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,920 and so at least we have like the living room and not everybody's, you 292 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,640 know. But yeah, we're we have plans to go to Costco. We 293 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:36,200 have plans go to Target all this week. Just getting things dialed in over 294 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,720 there.

It's really cool. I love that and that's so cool. 334 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Yeah, And I mean, my kids have gotten so into this music 335 00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:56,039 program. And what's really sweet is that it's both Sadie and Xander. And 336 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:03,039 Xander started last year. So Xander got in as a ninth grader because when 337 00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:07,119 they went to go sign up for the school and put down what they wanted 338 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,880 to do for their extracurricular not extracurricular for their electas, Xander was like, 339 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,640 I want to do the music lab. And he'd been practicing his guitar. 340 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:21,240 We all watched him those singing country roads and now playing like you know, 341 00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:26,079 Foo Fighter songs, so he was already started. But then of course Adi 342 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,759 saw that music program and was like, I want to be part of that. 343 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,799 So she started learning guitar and now she's really good. And so remember 344 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:37,960 I told you about how I got roped into being the parent Liaison. Yes, 345 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:48,279 so somehow I've become like the most giant go getter. And I've realized 346 00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:52,079 that when and I have been this person as a parent, when some other 347 00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:56,079 parent is like, Okay, I got it, I guess you know, 348 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,240 you're like, oh, good, you got it. Then you don't think 349 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:02,279 like I wonder if they really got it. Maybe I should help them get 350 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,319 it. Yah, yeah, maybe I should be like support them. Now 351 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,799 you're just like, oh, okay, well you're one of those people that 352 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,559 loves to be in charge of shit, so go get go have it, 353 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,039 you know. Well not so much for me. I'm like, well, 354 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,680 I don't really got it. Like I said, I got it, but 355 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,519 like I'm a little bit stressed out right now, and I do Okay, 356 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,559 this is where I complain about this, So okay, how do I put 357 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:30,440 this? How do I put this without making sure I don't get in trouble. 358 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,200 There's this other mom. I really really like her and she totally means 359 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,240 well, but she was like, hey, I put out a thing. 360 00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:44,000 This was last Was it last year when I got elected to be the parent 361 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,680 Liaison or was it this year? I think it was this early this year, 362 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,960 I put out a thing and I was like, hey, if anybody 363 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,920 wants to partner with me on this, I'm not really that good. I'm 364 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,000 not that organized, like I could use help. And this other mom was 365 00:24:56,039 --> 00:24:57,480 like, I got you, I'm doing this with you, and I was 366 00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:02,119 like great, and then she p need to not do it at all, 367 00:25:02,759 --> 00:25:07,359 and I never heard from her. And she's a flaky Texter. So it's 368 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,720 you send her a text and then you're like, you know, four days 369 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,519 ago, but I'm growing a beard by the time I'm getting a text back 370 00:25:12,519 --> 00:25:17,440 from her. I'm like, okay, so and then but then I will 371 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,759 get a text back and she'll be like, oh my god, I'm so 372 00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:25,000 sorry. I like just saw this. You just didn't want to answer me 373 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,279 because I'm hoping that you could go solve it myself, right, you know, 374 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000 which I did because I don't have time. So the thing is, 375 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:38,240 remember that I have talked about this quite a bit on our Patreon and I 376 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:42,119 really don't think she'll ever listen. But let's call her Tammy. Tammy's been 377 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,599 the one who's been in charge of everything, yes, and it's one of 378 00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:52,079 those things. She doesn't have the bandwidth so she's been farming stuff off to 379 00:25:52,160 --> 00:26:00,480 me, including so now I'm in charge of the the breakfast staff breakfast Friday 380 00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,880 of every month. That's been a thorn in my side. That's that's how 381 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:10,559 I perfected sign Up Genius. You know. So then that she also is 382 00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:15,119 the only one who can help. Like, if you want to take money 383 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,400 for something, everything has to go through Tammy. Tammy knows where all the 384 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,400 bodies are buried. She knows everything, and she doesn't really like to share 385 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:30,000 the information. So is it her last year? Oh? So there are 386 00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,799 two parents that are taking over for her, and they are I was gonna 387 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:38,240 oh they are No, hell no, hell no. Do not think that 388 00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,279 they didn't try to get me. I was like, you guys, do 389 00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:45,839 not want me in that position. I seem like I'm good at this. 390 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,240 I'm not like a lot of stuff is going to fall through the cracks. 391 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,400 This is I know that I have a I know that I have always had 392 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,680 ADHD and we called it a d D.

It might as 402 00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:41,400 well have been in another language, right, because I'm like, somebody either 403 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,559 needs to explain this to me like I'm five or better yet, don't explain 404 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:51,039 it to me. Else put me in front of people. I will ask 405 00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:55,240 everybody for money and I'll think of creative ideas, but I can't. I 406 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:03,119 don't understand the details of the bank accounts and who is what signatures are required, 407 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,200 or how are nonprofit is formed and how this money has to root through. 408 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:11,000 You lost me so long ago. I can remember key words and I 409 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:15,000 don't know how they fit together, and I feel so dumb, like I 410 00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:18,480 feel like I feel like a little kid sitting in on like adult, an 411 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:23,920 adult converssion even like I'm telling you, even these movies like Adam McKay, 412 00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:27,440 movies like The Big Short, you know, Oh, I know a lot 413 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:33,559 of people. I know there's there are movies where they're doing they're literally stopping 414 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,119 the movie to do an explainer. I'm like, I need an explainer for 415 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,640 the explainer. I need somebody. I need you to take it all the 416 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,480 way back. Like I don't understand anything about financing. And I'm not bragging. 417 00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,039 I'm not like I don't get any of that. I'm like, no, 418 00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:51,799 it makes me feel me too. Something's missing in my brain that I 419 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,720 just don't understand. I'm that way with numbers and math like and you know, 420 00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:00,640 I've sat down with like financial planners, you know, and and they're 421 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,720 doing these graphs and they're going, you know, five years this, and 422 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,640 iras that and T bills. I'm like, ah, can you like really, 423 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:14,039 I didn't even know. I yeah, I don't even like understand. 424 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,839 I know I have the same like you have to really break it down. 425 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,359 I think I need to, like once I write it out or read it, 426 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,839 but when somebody's explaining, like it's just I'm still stuck on the first 427 00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:32,200 thing. They said in the beginning of their sentence. By the time to 428 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,920 get to the end of what they're I'm still like you no, I have 429 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,519 to like I have to read it or something. I know, you know, 430 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,799 like I'm It's like when Succession, when the show was at there was 431 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,000 just and the dialogue goes so fast. It was like, well, wait, 432 00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:45,519 wait, wait, I didn't understand any of Succession, I love the 433 00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:49,480 personality of the show, didn't understand what their company did. I know, 434 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,599 what was what was that joke? Go Joe, gojo or go oh. 435 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,680 I was always having to stop it and go John, can you just explain 436 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680 it to me? But not all the way because I'm never gonna You'd have 437 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,920 to start at the beginning of time at the companies and how they work. 438 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,519 I don't know that. But I'd be like, wait, who's taking over? 439 00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:11,519 And he'd be like that was like last season, and I'm like, 440 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,160 yeah, well I've just been I'm still at last season. I know. 441 00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:19,799 Yeah. The interestingly, well, it's not interesting boringly way back. I 442 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:26,200 remember in grade school, I remember feeling so frustrated by math. I know 443 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,240 we've all we've talked about this many times, especially when it comes to like 444 00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,240 Sadie, Yeah, I'm watching in real time have the same problem, and 445 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:37,400 I'm like Sadie. I did not understand math at all, and it was 446 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:41,880 very frustrating. I would feel so frustrated in my body because math would be 447 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:48,759 happening. I was in the group of like the brightest kids, but I 448 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,319 was like the one who wasn't getting it of those kids. So I had 449 00:30:52,319 --> 00:30:56,920 this high reading level, but I could not, and so my teacher, 450 00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:03,039 Thank god, because I went to basically what became your high school, Magnet 451 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:10,000 Magnet. It was the alternative school, and we got so much nurturing and 452 00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:12,920 like attention, so you know, it was a very small class, and 453 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,559 I remember my math teacher. I remember crying because I was like, I 454 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,039 don't understand. That's how I was. And I remember her going like, 455 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,200 okay, I'm gonna draw a picture like and she would explain it and explain 456 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,680 it and explain it, and then all of a sudden I would be like, 457 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,480 oh, yeah, okay, I get it. But then it would 458 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,160 go away. So then I would take the test, I'd be like, 459 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,279 okay, I understand it. Then when I got to high school, ain't 460 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:41,799 no teachers having time? I explained stuff to me. So then I just 461 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,880 gave up and I wouldn't do it. And I told Sadie she was just 462 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,279 like crying the other night about math and she couldn't do all these problems and 463 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:56,680 Xander doesn't really have that issue. So I was I paid Zander. Yeah. 464 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,839 No, I'm going totally off topic here, but I paid Xander forty 465 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,920 I was like, I want because he told me first. I offered to 466 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,559 pay him twenty dollars and he was like, gonna be He was like, 467 00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:08,039 you don't have to pay me. But I was like, I want you 468 00:32:08,119 --> 00:32:10,759 to treat it like you're actually tutoring her. Yes, yes, I don't 469 00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:15,519 want you to think of it as you're helping her as her brother, because 470 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,920 then she's going to feel like you're gonna get frustrated, I know, if 471 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,880 you think of it as a job and it's going to teach you patients and 472 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,680 as if this was a stranger to you and anyway. I was like, 473 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,680 so let me do this. But then he was like, well, when 474 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,559 I had to do that math, it took me two hours, so you 475 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,079 know with Sadie it's going to be four hours. And it was. But 476 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,319 he really helped her and She was so relieved when she got it done, 477 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,279 but early in the process she was crying and she was just like, it's 478 00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:45,559 just so hard. I just don't understand it. And I said when I 479 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,599 was your age, I did not understand it either. I said, but 480 00:32:49,839 --> 00:32:54,240 really, I didn't need math for any job, and I am actually good 481 00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:59,279 at just basic math, Like I can figure out a tip. Like nobody's 482 00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:02,400 business. I can these percentages. That's all the math you need. Unless 483 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:07,319 you have a job requires math. I'm not going to be anybody's accountant. 484 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,519 And that brings us back to this topic of having to be in charge of 485 00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:17,240 things that I don't understand. So but so this doing this music show. 486 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,839 The teacher is the nicest man on the planet, and he's such an amazing 487 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,799 musician. I can't say enough like good things about this music program. So 488 00:33:29,839 --> 00:33:35,880 like I'm happy to help. And Tammy was not there. She was happy 489 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,759 to just go like you got it, you know, But now Tammy's the 490 00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:43,519 only one who can do certain things.

But anyway, So I had that, and then 512 00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:15,679 I had procured a Trader Joe's donation thing, a bag of groceries plus two 513 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:21,280 Trader Joe's gift cards, plus I got all these like facial stuff, plus 514 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,840 somebody donated some earrings. I had these really nice baskets. Nice, but 515 00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:30,280 really my job like I got all these yeah, putting the baskets together, 516 00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:35,840 except that that was only like a tiny percentage of my job because Tammy was 517 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,719 like, I don't even think you need to do that, like a raffle, 518 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,880 and I was like, well, that's the only thing I'm kind of 519 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:45,480 good at. I had to organize food for the kids, drinks for the 520 00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:54,599 kids. I had to organize like the tickets, the bake sale, selling 521 00:35:54,639 --> 00:35:59,000 pizza, making sure that we had enough. Are you kidding? I had 522 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,440 Where is everybody? What are these parents? Well here's the thing. I 523 00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:06,800 all supposed you have. The mom that was supposed to help me, she 524 00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:12,760 was nowhere to be found. So guess who came to help me. You're 525 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,760 gonna be annoyed. Robin Oh, Rob she's the best Rob Robbie Like, 526 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,760 what are you doing today? I'm like, oh, like my kids have 527 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,679 this show or whatever. She's like, oh, do you want me to 528 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,840 come help? Oh? Because I was showing her the baskets she's she just 529 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:30,000 does a lot of these for when her kid was in uh drama. At 530 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,159 this company, she organized the raffles, so she she helped me with when 531 00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:37,280 I did parenting out Loud, So she was so sweet. She was like 532 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,800 going, Okay, I think you should group this with this and put this 533 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,159 together. And she came in and she was like I'm gonna come. She 534 00:36:44,159 --> 00:36:45,159 goes, do you want me to come help you? And I was like, 535 00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:51,679 actually, yeah, because I knew that my partner in your quotes wasn't 536 00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:53,559 going to show. I knew she wasn't going to show up. Yeah she 537 00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:59,800 didn't, and was like I got them early, got there before me to 538 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,639 the school. When I got there forty five minutes early freakin' was in charge 539 00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:07,360 of selling the raffle tickets. Real, so here's the thing I had to 540 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:12,599 be also taking money. I was one of the So we had to work 541 00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:19,039 it out with our best friend Shauna, who is the outgoing president of like 542 00:37:19,119 --> 00:37:22,880 the PTA basically okay, the Parents Association, she's out, but she had 543 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,719 to hand over the reins, so it's complicated. You have to get on 544 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,239 the Apple pay app so you can take people's credit cards whatever where exactly, 545 00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:36,599 so we had to be able to do that. We had to get the 546 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:42,199 QR codes for our Venmo account, like the whole so my brain was going 547 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,840 crazy, but it all worked out. So this mom, of course, 548 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,199 of course, she calls. I'm like, hey, can you get there 549 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,079 at two? The show starts at three. She's like, oh, well, 550 00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:55,920 this and this and this and this, And I'm like, okay, 551 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,719 it's okay. She's like, but I can get there by like by two 552 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:04,480 thirds. I was like okay. So of course she calls me at like 553 00:38:04,519 --> 00:38:08,599 two fifteen and she's like, oh she has like, oh my daughter forgot 554 00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:10,639 something. I have to go back and get it. Are you gonna be 555 00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:14,960 okay without me? I was like, yeah, I got it. My 556 00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:17,760 friend is coming from a an outside in front of mind who doesn't have a 557 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,599 kid at the school is going to come and out. She's like, oh, 558 00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,199 great, great, great, that was it. She never came. 559 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,440 She came because her kid was in the show. But she got there right 560 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,679 before the show started, and you niter, did she help? Did she 561 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,840 offer? I mean no, she didn't really help. I mean yeah, 562 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,800 she offered, but it was kind of too late. We had control. 563 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,400 So anyway, me, this other mom who's in charge, who's going to 564 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:50,239 be the president next year. Love her. There's two moms they're going to 565 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,400 be co presidents that are taking over her team. I love them both. 566 00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:58,440 Yeah, and they are on it. They're smart and they're much more like 567 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,519 collaborative, Like they were asking me like what do you think of this? 568 00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:05,760 And what do you think of that? And how should we do this next 569 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,880 year? And I was like that's what I like. I like to give 570 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,440 my input and then go you guys got it, like you know you understand 571 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,559 finances. Yes. Yeah. So anyway, the show itself was amazing. 572 00:39:17,639 --> 00:39:23,119 It was so fun. But here's the thing they have. All the kids 573 00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:30,360 are split up into bands, and the bands played for and this is not 574 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,920 a this is not hard hyperbole. Five hours. The show was five hours. 575 00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:37,880 It went from three o'clock was the start time, and we started on 576 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,519 time and we didn't get out of there until three, four, five, 577 00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:46,280 six, seven, like eight fifteen. Niche closer to eight thir Wow, 578 00:39:46,599 --> 00:39:52,119 that's a long day this one band, but it kind of makes them a 579 00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:58,880 bunch of seniors. Was doing like led Zeppelin songs and like Jimmy Hendrix, 580 00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:01,760 and they were doing the jam version of it. So this they did a 581 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,599 version of a song that went for fourteen minutes. So John said it was 582 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:14,079 the song was Little Bird, which is by Jimi Hendrix, I believe anyway, 583 00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:16,239 So John told me that. So John and I had separate cars because 584 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,800 I got there before him, and uh, let's take a quick break. 585 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,119 Okay.

So we're I mean, when we got 608 00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:04,400 home, John Goes, I decided to listen to the live version of that 609 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,239 song just to see how long it goes. Four minutes. Wow, they 610 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:14,000 made it fourteen minutes. That's crazy. So this last one band, they 611 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,039 had a bunch of bands did their set was an hour but there were like 612 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,599 nine bands, So did they make that song all musical? Like were they 613 00:42:23,679 --> 00:42:28,639 doing a lot of guitars? So so many guitar solos. Yeah, so 614 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,679 tries to solos. It's like, all right, I can barely stand guitar 615 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,800 solos when I'm watching a real band up on stage. I like, I 616 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,519 cut it short, like get back to the song. We don't need to 617 00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:43,440 watch the drums and the guitar go at it, you know, battle it 618 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,000 out. But but it is like that's what you know. They're like, 619 00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:51,639 you know, little budding musicians, you know, I know, great, 620 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,679 But not every band needed to do five or six songs. Some of them 621 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,360 could have could have been fine doing four right, moving on, like four 622 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,519 songs, and none of them needed to do a fourteen minute song. But 623 00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:05,480 then people kept saying, well, those were the seniors. But I'm like, 624 00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,199 yeah, but every year there's going to be seniors, like every year, 625 00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:13,840 you know. But it was like really fun. I have I have 626 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,840 some video, I I'll post some videos. And they were in separate bands, 627 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,719 so I got and also, you know who's in a band who's an 628 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:31,280 amazing musician is our little Lyleyley good Y plays guitar. He's a freaking badass 629 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,800 guitar player. That's great. I just want to say, remember how much 630 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,599 we help this family.

And Lyle was at the neighborhood like very big 634 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:04,760 school and not thriving, as you might recall me telling you. And Xander 635 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,239 was always telling him like, Lyle, my school has this amazing music program. 636 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:15,000 And Lyle's school he was in guitar class where he thought he was going 637 00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:19,039 to get to play guitar, but it was basically like just doing scales on 638 00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:22,760 the guitar at a traditional high school. Yeah, And Xander was like, 639 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,880 dude, our school is like a performing arts school, Like come over, 640 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:32,519 you know.

I love seeing her there because she just she just cries like she's 645 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,599 so happy for a while. Because he's like he's in his little pork pie 646 00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:01,440 hat like a cool outfit.

And then 653 00:45:31,519 --> 00:45:35,480 after the show she just came over and she was like, I just want 654 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,039 to thank you again for this school.

They 660 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,440 have theirs two more years their soft Oh they're gonna next year and senior year. 661 00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:06,400 Is gonna be so fun to watch them grow. Yes, And it's 662 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,679 so nice because it's this really small school. Like I've told you, it's 663 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,559 similar to like your school. And I think for a lot of kids that 664 00:46:15,559 --> 00:46:21,199 would just not work. That would not have worked for LB. She's just 665 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,599 not that kid. She's not quirky. She's always telling me, Mom, 666 00:46:23,639 --> 00:46:28,239 I'm not quirky, Like I want to blend. I want to do what 667 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,519 everybody else. I want to be in a big school where there's you know, 668 00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:35,880 she wanted that classic and she did great there. That was fine for 669 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,880 her. But Sadie and Xander are both quirky kids. They just don't know 670 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:46,599 they're quirky because they cause Xander doesn't come across as quirky, like he dresses 671 00:46:46,639 --> 00:46:52,280 really cool, he you know, but he is quirky, Yeah he is. 672 00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:57,280 And Sadie is very quirky, and they're at a place where that's just 673 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,440 embraced. They did this one of the bands, like, there's a very 674 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:07,079 big LGBT component at this school, and a lot of the kids and a 675 00:47:07,119 --> 00:47:13,199 lot of the like the guys are normal guys, but like will wear makeup 676 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,039 or put on pearls. And they did rocky horror Picture show song, you 677 00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:19,960 know, you know the song that's jumped to the left, right, and 678 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,159 then it jumped to the right.

I love. That's so nice. 699 00:48:57,039 --> 00:49:00,480 So thank god you found that school. I know, I just reminds 700 00:49:00,519 --> 00:49:04,199 me of my school when I was a kid. We were always painting murals 701 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,679 and stuff. Everything was embrace It was very artsy, like my dad. 702 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,920 That's what my dad wanted for me, Like he's like, you need to 703 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,880 be in a school like that like that. I know. You know, 704 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,559 the whole school didn't work for me. I didn't join anything. I didn't 705 00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:23,719 I think I played volleyball one year and I was terrible and I was sat 706 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,679 on the bench the whole time, and I got put in one time at 707 00:49:27,679 --> 00:49:30,519 the very end of the game when we were way ahead. I told you 708 00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:34,079 the story and that I messed up my serve and I was so embarrassed, 709 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,880 and then I just dropped out of that. Right, That's the only thing 710 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,119 I ever joined. Yeah, no, I know. We had like, 711 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:44,679 you know, the typical pe class, but then we had like photography and 712 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,519 you know, ceramics and just it just and like all kinds of like I 713 00:49:49,639 --> 00:49:52,519 loved our teachers, you know, the like Sue the health teacher. You 714 00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:55,559 know, like everybody was just so cool and great. And we'd go on 715 00:49:55,599 --> 00:50:02,119 field trips a lot. We always went to Leo uh Leo Carrio. That 716 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,800 was our thing. Like at the end of the year, I was always 717 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,480 looking forward to the Leo Garrio trip. The beach trip was tense and like 718 00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:12,280 spend the night a couple of days. It was just so cool, so 719 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,119 fun. Yeah, every at the it didn't matter if you were a senior, 720 00:50:15,199 --> 00:50:16,519 was just like the end of the year's school trip because it was a 721 00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:20,559 school, a small school, right then we just get on the bus and 722 00:50:20,599 --> 00:50:24,280 get tense and just camp at Leo Grio and I just like remember camping and 723 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,840 like and then wanting to sneak into the tent with the boys and like that 724 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,960 kind of stuff. But it was so fun. It was just like yeah, 725 00:50:31,159 --> 00:50:35,719 like because the traditional schools were not it for me. I was going 726 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:40,199 to Columbus Junior High which was awful. When my dad sent that that that 727 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,840 letter to my violin teacher, like because I broke a string and I wasn't 728 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,039 allowed to take the violin home anymore. And he was like what he was 729 00:50:50,119 --> 00:50:52,519 so excited for me to learn the violin and then I wasn't because I broke 730 00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:55,079 a string. I wasn't allowed to bring it home anymore. And he sent 731 00:50:55,119 --> 00:50:59,360 a letter like, hey, you know, I don't know, just really 732 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,840 like learn how kids learn, you know, and called her an asshole, 733 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:07,920 I think, and he was really they did, yes, yes, right 734 00:51:08,199 --> 00:51:12,960 right, And so that was that my dad like, you know, these 735 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,400 schools are not for you. I was supposed to go to Canelka Park High 736 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:20,760 School and that's not a good school. No, that's a rough school. 737 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,039 So even back then, so my dad was like and he sent me to 738 00:51:25,119 --> 00:51:29,199 Van Eyes, Yeah, to the alternative school. So when you talk about 739 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,599 your kids school, it reminds me of my school I went to, I 740 00:51:31,679 --> 00:51:35,320 know, and I always think of that, and it reminds me of my 741 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,320 elementary school, which was really the highlight of all of my schooling. Is 742 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:45,679 this teeny alternative call your teachers by their first names really small. I learned 743 00:51:45,679 --> 00:51:50,760 the most at that school, where it wasn't just and then when I went 744 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,719 to junior high it was in Spokane, Washington, at a huge junior high 745 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:59,280 school, terrible, worst two years of my life. And then really high 746 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:04,840 school, big schools where I never got any personal attention. I don't really 747 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,639 remember any of my teachers, like, you know, I still remember so 748 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,239 well my elementary school teacher. Yeah, so you don't forget. I know 749 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,920 that that kind of does. Those kinds of things stick with you forever and 750 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:21,440 makes an impression. And this school sounds amazing for your kids, it's really 751 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,000 great, and you know, I mean, listen, I could be singing 752 00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:27,679 a different tune next year, but I don't care. Right now. They're 753 00:52:27,679 --> 00:52:30,719 happy, yes, and like yeah, and no, I think it's just 754 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:36,840 going to get going on that trip for speech and debate right right after. 755 00:52:37,039 --> 00:52:38,719 Yeah, I mean, he wouldn't get that opportunity at some big school. 756 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:43,960 No, I know, like so much cool stuff.
