Made a decision. Face sunny sum, I had a vision. So what's
up? Happy fourth? It's a holiday, it is, Yes, it
is. Today's the fourth of July. Yeah, it is. For you
people, it is. I'm having a great time right now watching fireworks July.
Let'st's talk about the fourth of July for a second. It used to
be when the kids were a little it was kind of a big deal,
like, oh, the Fourth of July. And I remember so many of
your stories, your Fourth of July stories, and then it's like, here's
what happened. What happened. We got a dog, and then we were
so concerned about like, how's our dog gonna do with fireworks that we were
afraid to leave her home, right. I remember the first year, we
got super extra about it and bought her like these herbal these little hills that
you can get it anywhere. Yeah, pets at a pet store that are
supposed to be calming, you know. So we were like putting her on
a lot of hill We're like, I'll, you know, load her up
on doggie Benzos douser. Yeah yeah, And then she was I mean,
I don't I don't know if the pills worked or not. But she doesn't.
She's not crazy about firework. I mean like this and went on,
I mean a little bit, but it was a big deal. We could
probably have left her alone. But now is like too late. If we're
used to being home, we're used to having an excuse for why we don't
need to go right right, So li fourth right, And remember we used
to talk about this a lot years ago. It's always like a big casha
and finding parking and like I'm going to go to some park and like Woodland
Hills and bring blankets and load up a picnic basket and then try to find
parking and then for for some lights and the you know right right, yeah,
I mean I remember my fund. This memory of fourth of July was
when Natalia we just moved to our new neighborhood and Italian made her best friend
was Cammy, remember Cammy, of course, who's now like president and of
all, you know the her student club at school, you know, on
our way to Harvard and she her and Cammy were like five years oh no,
no, no, no, they were like eight, seven or eight.
Anyway, they told us where to go in the new neighborhood to look
for to look at the fireworks, go to this street, in this street,
like in an intersection up the hill, you know, three blocks away
from our house, right right right, And then we get up there and
there's it's it. There's nowhere to park because all it's everybody else is up
there with all their kids. Pitch Black can't see can't find Cammy. I
don't know, like no Wi Fi, so I couldn't text her mom.
So and then we're watching fireworks and Italians and tears because she can't find Cammy.
And all of a sudden, you hear this little Natalia Cammie and it
was like fireworks. They came together and hugged and you know, it's so
cute to bring this all back to today. Yeah, just last night Cammy
came into town and n Italia went and saw her. Oh really because Cammy
moved right to Washington right yeah, Colorado? Oh Denver? Okay, yeah,
and how many years ago it's been like five years, seven, eight
years yeah, long ago. Yeah, we went on vacation with them,
like we went to there, like Adam would never go to anybody. He
loved that family. So Whitewater Rafting, Yes, we did an Italian Adam
like two peas in a pod, right, Yeah, and Cammy liked Devil's
egg loves Devil's Eggs, which endeared her to Adam. Right, and she
would notice when he would grow a beard, mister Carolla, beard looks good
on you. And they bonded over the movie Master and Commander with right.
Uh Russell Crow, Yeah yeah yeah, got that got buried behind Russell Brand,
which should being such a compliment to Russell Brand. His name comes to
me before Russell Crow, It's true. Yeah. So anyway, so how
was the reunion? How she doing She's doing? I don't know because I
fell asleep and Natalia went over there and visited her. Her mom wasn't there,
Otherwise I would have gone. But um, she's staying at Olivia's house,
their other their third little Yeah. Okay, that's got weird. No,
no, no, because Natalia had went to Newport today. Anyway,
she had plans. She always every summer Cammy goes to Olivia's. Okay,

like twenty twenty three. Yes, Sarah's the fano, she's your pisano
forget up, don't fall Sandra. It's not easy being green Christa. You
making me want on a stroop. And Stephanie's a stinker wrinker. Stephanie,
you could have done karaoke with us the other night, but you'll left.
It's the first song, right. So Stephanie and I went to a raging
party over the weekend at Patrick's house, Yes, where we're at right now?
Huh yeah, in his backyard. Stephanie rolled up with John and a
six pack of of turkey burghers. That a cookie, a fourteen dollars pack
of cookies. They were like six cookies. So we stopped at Gelson's.
This is just a quick thing about like bringing stuff. Okay, we should
have gone to Ralph's or like Trader Joe's, but we didn't have time because
it had already like time was Yeah, I can't believe I got here before
you did. Why was I late? Why did I tell you I couldn't
come into a little bit later? Oh okay, I just remembered another our
AC went out before I heard about this it's word in the streets. Yeah,
street, I was that. But we had so the our ac guy
was coming between one and four, okay, so I knew that was going
to happen also anyway, So then it seemed like it was going to be
a long time to like be on my feet on my broken foot force and
my lung infection. Yeah, so I don't know. We were just going
to go for the second half of it. The party was supposed to be
from four to ten. Oh I didn't know that. Yeah, that's a
big gap, Like that's a lot of that's and the latter part was supposed
to be like karaoke, you know, And I thought it might be better
to get there a little later when it's cooled down. But then, you
know me, by the time I was motivating, I was like, well,
now we're way more than fashionably late, right, I was hoping to
be here by six so he could be shave off the four to six part
yea with the losers, right, because the sun was beating down get here
like six, six fifteen. Anyway, we didn't show up until like six
forty five. But so we're going to leave, and I said, you
know, I don't want to show up empty handed. He had said bring
He told us the stuff he was going to have, and then he said,
you know, bring whatever you want to drink. Oh, I didn't
know he asked to asked us to bring. Oh no, it wasn't a
big deal, but he said, he said, there's going to be beer
and wine and like veggie burgers and hamburgers and hot dogs. But if you
want something whatever, bring something. If you want something else, I guess
I just wanted to stop and like have a contribution to the party. But
so we had. The only grocery store that was on the way is Gelson's.
Now if you if you don't have Gellston's, which I don't think you
do in other parts of the country, it is so fucking expensive. Yeah,
it's overpriced. It's one of those chee it's like the name and Marcus
of like groceries. Yes, for no reason, there's something special about it.
They carry the same brand every yeah, same stuff, right, there's
no super special Gelson brands. Like everything's gourmet shit everywhere. No, it's
just regular food at insane prices right right. It's really it's like if you
were going to a grocery store on Rodeo Drive, and I know, right
it's the only place that if I want um caviare, That's where I'll go.
If I'm craving, like for Christmas time or something. You know,
I feel like you might as well go to like Whole Foods, though I
never thought about it. Yeah, only because Gellson's is near my house,
right, But it's crazy expensive, it is. So let's take a quick
break and then I'll explain what happened. All right, all right, well,
all right, So we stopped at Gelson's and John runs in and I
said, listen, they're not going to have turkey burgers, so let's just
let's get some turkey burgers. So he goes in, he comes out with
turkey, and I said, and while you're there, get some cookies,
I said, And don't go to like the cookie aisle, you know,
because I was going to stay in the car because my foot was broken.
Otherwise I would have taken care of this myself. But I'm just saying I
have to send him in there. I go, don't go we don't don't
bring chips ahoy, yeah, like go to the bakery section. But also
don't spend like forty dollars on like a box of fancy right gery cookie.
Right. But you know in the bakery of grocery stores, they'll have some
stuff in like a fresher, like some big cookies or whatever, Okay,
and they're usually like, you know, five six bucks for a box of
like nicer cookies. Yeah. So John comes out with this little box.
They had like six cookies in it that were almost it was. It would
be stretching it to say they were big cookies. They had bigger, but
they were good. I had one, okay, So I get I'm like,
oh, in my mind, I was like, oh, like they
didn't have like like it Ralph's when you get like a big yeah, there's
like ten, ten or twelve cookies in there. You know, this is
six cookies, right, And so I'm like okay, yeah, I look
at the price. It was like fourteen bucks. What. Yeah, So
I'm our little shopping trip. We came in with our silly little here's four
burgers, right and six cookies, and we probably spent like fifty bucks.
Well Patrick appreciated it. It's just funny. It's just funny. So then
we get to the party and I'm expecting a rager because there was gonna be
karaoke and there's a porta potty and there's you know DJ basically right, there's
like a whole setup. Yeah, And there were like and I didn't say,
I don't see anybody, so I run into you out front. You've
got John with me, and then I don't hear any noise. I was
like, is anybody here? And you're like, yeah, yeah, they're
all in the back, which there were, but they were like, I
don't know, twelve people scattering a people. Robin was here, Yeah,
Robin was here. We had fun with them, and a bunch of the
ace holes Addie, Brian, Jane, Jane I'm missing, yeah, and
Jen and Gen and then some randos that I didn't recognize, right, Patrick's
people of Patrick's friends that I met, Yeah, that I knew I've met
before. Now Kalin didn't come. Now why oh, because let's see,
there was a very long week last week, a lot of it taken up
by Isla's birthday. We'd drove all the way down to Lego Land and back,
so that was a trip. And we live in Long Beach and it
is a trek to come up here and we did not want to take the
kids through that especially, it was a long week. That's a whole day
thing, getting the kids ready, driving them up in traffic, driving them
back at you know, they go to bed at eight thirty, put them
down. Like we had a long week. I had a long weekend.
I had work to do. I was doing stuff over the weekend for the
show. It's like, I don't want to burn my whole Saturday on this.
So me and Amy were like, okay, well uber up. But
then we couldn't get her. Parents couldn't watch the kids, so we had
no one to watch the kids. So I was like, you know what,
Patrick's gonna have plenty more parties over the summer. This is the first
one. I'm gonna Yeah, that's true. I'm gonna tell you something,
Kaylin, your kids would not have had fun at I mean, in my
mind I was thinking, oh, there's gonna be a bunch of little like
three year olds running around like you're missing They're gonna miss a party. But
honestly, like Ellie was out for as far as I could see, she
for a while before you got here. Yeah, once I got there,
even at the kids were like no, no kids. Yeah, well we
would have come up early and left early, and they would have played with
Ellie. We came up here a few weeks ago and they had a lot
of fun just playing with Ellie. So I think it would have been fine.
We would have been going home early. But yeah, it was way
too much and do it too much. The traffic this week has been insane.
Oh yeah, just now, like coming it was. It's just out
of control. It's just packed. It's just a parking lot. I don't
blame you, but yeah, your kids wouldn't have had fun. Yeah,
but I had a great time. Yeah, So we were all having fun.
And then John and I left and then tell me last, right when
you were leaving, they got the karaoke going, right, and I left.
Well, I think Jane was singing I'll be home for Christmas. Right,
she kicked it off with a Christmas song, right, super it was
hilarious. Yeah, and then nobody wanted to get up, okay really right?
No, Well then he had, um you see the guy with the
hat and the glasses, us with hat, some glasses, but I think
I know, yeah, and um he was he was the he was like
the DJ and going oh yeah, yeah that guy. Yeah, Lewis Lewis,
Yes, yes, and he was like come on like it was and
nobody was getting Patrick's getting in the jacuzzi. I was like, come on,
Patrick, I'll do a Van Hallend song with you. And He's like,
no, no, I'm not singing. I'm not singing. And I
was like all right, like Patrick, so I know and so uh.
Then the best was well. One of the best performances was Robin and Wade
got up and did um uh let me go on like a blister and the
sun let me go on. Oh god, they are so and she's like
dancing and done and done noo and she's like kicking or keels dancing and he's
singing. I mean, they did such a great job. It was the
hutest thing I've ever seen. And then somebody else, a couple of girls
got up and did oh a Whitney Houston song. Then nobody would get up
again and uh, let's see. Then Robin and Wade got up again and
they did, oh god, she's gonna get and I'm like, creep,
yeah, but she was gonna do creepy. She did. That's it creep
And my child Xander is gonna come on for our next show. Yes,
he okay, I did. I didn't want to say this to Robin at
the time, so she can now hear this while she's listening. But kids
are like, that song is real hack like it. It's just too overdone,
right Xander, Yeah, okay he They're like because I at one point
one of them, Xander or Sadie knows how knows how to play the song
and sing it. And I was like, well, why don't you do
that song? It was like for some audition and Xander's like, mom,
no, no, that is you just do not do that's so overdone it.
When over it was a big over here because everybody that's an older crowd.
So she couldn't get away with that at a high school show though she
can't hit with a tomato ie. If Xander had been here, he would
have been like eye rolls, Yeah, okay, Xander to come if you
want to come to this party by the way, and he was like,
yeah, you know, I had Sonny almost come out the door. He
was coming. And then as I'm leaving, he gets a text from his
friend Cameron and he's like, oh, I'm out. I was like,
all right, maybe dodged a bullet, but he would have been fine,
though, I know, but I think I told you when I got here,
I was like, I don't think Xander and Sadie would have had like
the greatest time. Yeah, but it wasn't really fun art. Yeah,
I had some great conversations me too. I really loved talking to Jen your
friend Ja. Yeah, she's great. She was super fun. And John
was entertaining the Yeah, he was cracking everybody up and um. And then
of course I love Addie. She's like, she's like Familia with me.
I just love her. I adore her, and I love I love those
guys. Brian is so sweet. He's adorable. It's a sweetheart. He
friended me on Facebook. Oh he did. Yeah, he's a sweetheart,
he really is. And uh and Jane's hilarious. She's so funny. Yeah,
so it was fun. Yeah, it was a good time. Dylan
was here for a little bit and his wife missed him when I missed him.
You never met his wife, have you? No, I've never met
Sucy. She's beautiful and a sweetheart. That surprises me. No, right,
every surprises everybody. A lot of people are like, oh, he's
punching, she's punching he's punching up. No, I'm just kidding. I
love you, Dylan. Um, but yeah it was fun Patrick was a
great host. The food was delicious. I loved it. I usually like
hamburgers, but um, I like a good cheeseburger grilled off. I will
eat a homemade hamburger. Yeah it was really good. Yeah. It's funny
because I always think of the who is it Chris uh? The Chris Rock?
Huh is it Chris any? But the houseburger out when he wants to
go to McDonald's, got McDon you don't got none? And then he talks
about his mom because my momburger my mom used to make. Okay, so
everybody knows, Like this is so interesting to people. But I do not
like onions. I don't like them. I hate them. I don't like
I don't like celery. Just don't put that. Don't chop up a bunch
of things and put them in my food that I have to go like,
oh is that onions? Like? I don't want that stuff mixed in my
tuna fish. I don't want I don't want to see anything green. I
don't want relish, I don't want celery. No, nothing crunchy fit you
like I like relish, Yeah, I don't so I so you like pickles?
No, I like a pickle. I like pickles on their own.
I will eat I like a dill pickle. Oh my god, we got
we have to remind us to ask Lander about this because the first time he
we accidentally bought sweet pickles, he thought he was gonna die. He was
what, I thought I was gonna die. I thought I was gonna die.
He was like, what is this? This just doesn't taste right.
And I was like, oh, shoot, that wasn't a dill pickle.
Oh. I traumatized. Then when next time we bought pickles, he was
like scared to eat it, and I was like, no, no,
no. I checked the label really careful. Okay, all right, you
know you have to look at the label. If it says sugar the ingredients,
you know you're screwed because they don't always tell you. They don't always
say sweet pickles. Sometimes it's just the store brand and you don't realize it's
not a kosher dill. Anyway. Anyway, most of the time, my
mom, well all of the time. I would have loved hamburgers when I
was a kid, but my mom put everything. It was some kind of
like kitchen sink burgers. It was just like, oh my god, what
don't you put into the ground hole burgers? Oh, it's like minced onions.
And here's the thing, Lynette, And this is why this is not
the only reason I don't speak to my mom. Be known, there's other
factors involved. But looking back, like she knew I didn't like that,
so she knew that there'd be at least one person who just couldn't eat it
if she made it that way, right, And I have to say that
I don't totally cater to my kids, but like, if there's a dish
that I like to make and I know one of them doesn't like it that
much, then okay, they can eat something else or part of the meal.
But like, if I really knew that one of my kids hated something
that was a food they like, wouldn't you just make put a couple of
burgers aside? Right? Why not it? Do you have to be like
punitive about it? I don't like it? And then in front, yeah,
and then topping up like bell peppers. Everyone was like a pot pourri
of things that I don't like, all packed into a burger and then like
served out like and then and then she'd give me a look like it's Michael,
like I'm heavy that I don't want to that. I'm like, oh,
no, thanks, right. It's not like i'd be like, what
the fuck? Mom? Yeah, how come you're putting all that shit in
my burgers? Right? Oh? I would just be like okay, no,
thanks, yes, right, Oh okay, you don't want a hamburger?
Yeah, obviously I don't want a hamburger. There's like things falling out
of me, yes, especially green things. I hate that. I know
my mom used to do that shit. Kaylyn, did you find that story?
I did? What happened? So? Mom influencer sentenced to ninety days
for fate claim that Latino couple tried to kidnap her children. That sounds yeah,
this is a target, right, Michaels. Okay, that's another story.
I think this is happening left and right. The one I have is
from a target, but go read that one. But this one is a
white California mom Influencers has been sentenced to ninety days in jail for fabricating a
story about a Latino couple trying to kidnap her children. Katie Sorensen was convicted
in April of making a false report of a prime after her December twenty twenty
social media posts that alleged a man and woman tried to kidnap for two children
in the parking lot of a Michael's Craft store in Petaluma. Petaluma, about
forty miles north of San Francisco. I just saw this story. I just
thought, what was I watching three days ago? Oh? It was?
Then this is another It is happening a lot. Yeah, this is another
one because I was just watching. I was I'm watching all these like documentaries
shows like uh busted. Like there's one where they but they're watching people.
They convict people based on prison phone calls. There's another one that's like after
Dark arrested, Like crazy shit that happens after dark with people getting arrested.
This woman like fell asleep behind the wheel, like totally passed out at a
light, like completely passed out. They were rocking the car trying to wake
her up, and she's like, it's just passed out at a light.
It's crazy. I wired. Did you find this story? Did you find
this story? You know it was the same story, but the person who
sent it to me was like maybe this happened at a target. I target
in my head is that same story? What the hell? But but remember
when that was happening, like every day at Ikea, they were, you
know, which is why we have the joke about Leslie a cost that I
cant because it was like constantly, like all these people are following me around.
Oh, I went into the couch section, and then they went into
the couch section, and then I sat down on a couch and then they
sat down on a couch. And it's like, yeah, because it's what
people are buying, a couch. What are these people getting out of attention?
Is that? What? I don't know? But listen, if people
want to sex traffic you, they're not going to do it at a busy
Ikea. They're not going to Like what are you going to get? We
used to talk about this all the time. Do you think they're gonna snatch
you off your couch right and like hustle you out the side door and then
with all the camera children right right, with all the cameras. Yeah,
and in the in the middle of the store during a busy I can't are
busy. And by the way, they have to take you from level four
all the way down to level three and then out the escalator and then down
and say like and then you get down there and they're like, oh no,
this is not what I parked. Make the kid have to follow them?
Wait wait, wait, just be patient off by my car. I
was on level B. This isn't when I put out my back in laundry
bath right, like, oh I was here. We're here from the elevator
up and down. This place is amazing. You know what. Let's stop
and get some Swedish meet right, and then we'll get to the sex.
Right, don't look for your mom killing the elevator. The elevator opens.
The moms there, Oh door, closed door, closed door close. Somebody
else is like opening the doorway people trying to come in. I'm trying to
sex traffic these kids. Yes, god, they cover. I should have
gone somewhere less busy, right, yeah, for a thought, right plan
ahead. Yes, So you've been watching the Undercover Underage show. I did
start watching it, and of course John, my husband, John Taylor Duran
Duran was like, what are you watching? I was like, good TV?
Yeah, hell yeah yeah. I started watching it and I started with
season two immediately, and I love uh Rue. I love Rue. But
also they had this girl who's like twenty, he's playing a twelve year old,
and they were age regressing her a little bit, but dude, they
didn't even need to. Now she looks eleven. She looks like a twelve
year old yea. And the way she talks because she's nervous anyway, so
she kind of and then she's like, oh, I'm gonna have to talk
to the guy. And then she has to talk to him, and and
they change the guy's voices, which I don't know why, because guys are
convicted anyway, they're committing a crime, right, Why do they get privacy?
I don't know. When you watch Catch a Predator, the guy's just
full on right there, like he's face and everything, right, I don't
know. I don't know that changed her voice, they don't they, right,
Hi Jenner you yeah? Or like a robot yeah? And then and
then she's like hi, yeah, I don't know. He's like what are
you doing? And she's like, I don't know, nothing reading and then
and then he's like what if I came over? What would we do?
Um? Go for a drive or mom? Yeah? And then I love
when she got nervous and she's like, I gotta go. My mom's calling
me, right, But she hangs up and Ru's like, Okay, we
gotta call him back. I don't. And you know the weird when I
first started watching it, I would see like, so she's talking to these
these scumbags and she's sitting on like video camera FaceTime and Rue, the woman
that runs a thing, is sitting next to her ship down and holding it
up, and I'm like, she's getting too close. The guy's gonna notice,
Like what is At first I was like, oh my god, like
she's too close to hers, She's gonna get discovered. But they they work
it out. It's crazy. This is the one thing that kind of bugged
me was Rue is very controlling of what they say. Marry. It's like,
listen, you're gonna hire people that should be a little bit good at
improv. I would think you shouldn't have to write down, Like you really
have to write down for her to go. I don't know what are you
doing? Yes or just a thumbs up for a yes, like yeah.
There was one scene where one of the girls she said something like, my
I gotta go. I have my new bicycle or something, and the guy
goes, oh, you want to show it to me? And she was
like uh, and I think Rue just was like click, like hang up,
like lost connection, you know, right, But it's crazy And the
one thing I love about season two is they show the guys getting arrested put
into the car, and then the then the guy's like, am I going
to jail? And the guy the cops like, well, let's talk first.
Uh what are you doing here? Oh? I'm meeting a twelve year
old girl. It's just a friend, just a friend. What were you
gonna do? Or just I love when they say I'm protecting them because they're
out there talking to adult males. She's talking to men on the internet,
right, yeah, like you dick wad like you know, but I'm gonna
I'm showing up to protect her, to stop her from talking. Like ah.
The one guy was like, um, the police are like okay,
you know, you're under arrest and he's like, oh was this? Did
I do something wrong? And they're like yeah, and he goes, oh
is it is it? Is that a crime? They're like yeah, he
goes, is it a felony? Remember that? Yeah? Like yeah,
it is yeah he goes oh right, yeah yeah. Season two, they
they they show the guy getting arrested. They even show him going back to
the jail and like a little bit in the interrogation room, and then they
show you like what what he what his sentences? And season two is a
success, like a spoiler alert, like all the way through, like season
one, it's like barely got any arrests, like they never they get a
Season two, I think that they redid like they were like, Okay,
this is what we should do. We'll get a bigger house, we'll be
in an area where we can drive, and we'll catch people in this area.
Because season one and season one is all rude doing the undercover stuff.
Yeah, the only thing is like to catch a predator was basically the same
thing, and they they just did it at I mean they did set up
houses and then they had different people. They just did the sting at one
house that they'd be like, okay, we're gonna do this house for the
weekend, and then they'd have perverted justice, yes, reaching out to different
guys, right right, which is that entrapment I'm not sure or the guys
maybe the I think into a chat room and then they wait to be yeah,
right, yeah, and then I got a good story for you.
So let's take a break. Ye Okay, So this is like crazy story
that Wendy told me. So, okay, we all know my mother Helen,
she like worshiped my brother, King of Dean, and he can to
do nothing wrong, like her firstborn. Then Dean and Wendy had three kids,
Nicholas, Anthony, Megan. Nicholas were the firstborn. He could do
nothing wrong. He's the king. Nick. You know, Anthony was a
pain in the ass, cried all the time. It was on Rarevus wrack.
But Nick whatever Nick wanted to eat, my mom would cook like barbecue,
you know all that. And so so Nick just had this baby,
right, So Wendy's telling me this is kind of crazy. So Wendy's telling
me the story that she was at home. It was the day before and
Zoe, the baby was born, and she's getting ready to go to the
hospital and there she looks out the window and there's this like yellow bird,
like a canary, just chilling on her balcony, and you know, she
was looking at it and whatever. She's like, oh, that's interesting.
Then the baby the next day the baby's born. They go back to Nick's
house and I have video of it. This the canary is back, and
they live like three miles away from each other, so this canary is like
like not only back, but flies and it's like gets where. Okay,
Nick is holding the baby on the couch and it's just like how we're sitting
on the couch and this screen door is like a couple like six feet away,
and this yellow bird is back and it's got its claws in the screen,
like how often you see a bird And it's looking at Nick and Enzo
at the baby and my other used to love canaries and yellow birds. Wow
is that crazy? That is so crazy? And it was trying to get
into the house like it was flying like trying to get in the house.
And then I think it was like two days later, Wendy was sitting up
um in the in the nursery. She's not hacking the baby. The bird's
back like again with with its fingers, with its claws in the screen like
on the thing, like did I think about just letting the bird in the
house. They I don't know, I don't know. And then the funniest
part was the bird shit on Wendy's car, which is hilarious because my mom
would have done something like that, Oh my god. Um, but yeah,
it's that's it's or maybe the bird just needed to go to the bathroom
end. But is that is that weird? That's why my mom and so
we looked it up. And and when a yellow bird, like they say,
yellow bird means um like good fortune you know, is to come and
good luck is to come. And then when I was in Cabo, I
saw a red cone like a red bird. But I'm in Cabo, so
I was like, oh that's beautiful. Kept coming and sit and sitting on
our balcony. So then after she tells me a story, I look up
the red bird and it said when you see a red bird, it's it's
it means uh angels or someone from heaven kind trying to wow. Yeah.
And yellow was my mom's favorite color, and she loved yellow birds. She
loved like the Bird of Paradise because paradise and also it looked yet like she
loved yellow. She loved yellow bird. It's it's dot to me. It's
crazy, not a weird story, I know, I know. So I
wonder like if anybody's ever experienced anything like that, Like, I know people
a lot of people feel that way about like hummingbirds. Yeah, and dragonflies
I've heard. Oh yeah, what if it was just like anything like your
ants, Like when ants are in your kitchen, that's your grandma nana.
Yeah, because my nana always hated ants in the kitchen. So this it's
like she's trying to remind me of her, right, when there's ants in
the kitchen. You know, when there's like a dog poop on your friend
law, that's like friends from the past, right. That means high school
friends have passed away, you know, So now you just smile when you
see dog poop on your lawn. Or it could be molly your old dogs,
your old dogs that passed away poop. That's what it is. It's
your dogs have come by that your dog has been by, right, So
see reframe, reframe it in your brain before we go. But just tell
you, um, and this is I think this is gonna be a little
PSA for people about what happened with our air conditioning. Yes, so,
um, notice the other day it was like it was a hot day out.
It was like the first of the hot days, and all of a
sudden I'm like, God, it's really hot in our house. It's like
I'm starting to like shits a little bit, you know. And just to
remind everyone, I'm Jewish. So I look at the thermostat and it's seventy
seven degrees in the house. So I keep it at seventy five in the
summer and sometimes seventy six, but then people complain in the house sometimes,
so I do seventy five anyway, And I'm like, oh no. Because
our air conditioning, we had to buy a new unit. I mean it
was a while ago at this point, maybe seven six or seven years ago,
but it's still like relatively recent in the scheme of buying a whole new
system for your house, right, And I remember that before our air conditions.
So I was like, you know that feeling when you're like, oh
shit, it's bad when your house is not the temperature it's supposed to be,
Because as soon as you see that temperature creeping up, you're like,
well, there it's broken, right, system's broken. Something's wrong. Yeah,
But I look and it's the fan. It's the thing is on and
it's going right, you know, And I don't know it's in our closet
the motor because going air is blowing air is not cold sod, that's what's
the problem. Right, So um, I send John outside to check the
compressor outside because when we used to have problems with our AC when we first
started before, we needed a brand new one. The line it's called the
evaporator line. It's the line that goes it's a little pipe, a little
teeny pipe that goes from your compressor into your house was frosted over. It
was frozen. Okay, that's a bad sign that happens to you then you
have a problem. So this is so modern day, right, We google
so I'm like, I know this is what used to happen to us before
our thing went on the fritz and we had to replace it. And I
remember that there were like workarounds to make it work, how to de frost
it. So we google it and one of the things it says is here's
some different things to check, and you've got to check your air filter.
So John checks the air filter and it is disgusting, like it's black,
it's full, Like yeah, it's really gross. And you know you're supposed
to change your air filter like every three months, but every three every three
months, but especially if you have a pet, like if like Peepo sheds
in a right. But you know, I don't know, We just don't.
I mean, there's a million things you think about doing. Right.
But so we hadn't changed the air filter in a while, so John changes
it, so we turn off the AC starts getting hot in the house.
I call the A C guy. But it's like it was the day before
Patrick's party. So the night before, evening before so I call our AC
and they say, um, we can come and oh they call me first
thing in the morning. They say we'll come by today between one and four.
And I'm like, okay. They say keep it off though in the
meantime because if you turn it back on and the line freezes again, we
have to wait for a deft to defrost before we can figure out what the
problem is. Okay, guy comes to help us. Love this company.
By the way, if anybody's local, this company is called Entertech E N
E R T E K, I can I can use their name because we
love them. Yeah, they're the ones that put in our unit. What
happened and what's his face? Didn't you have a guy that came or was
he for plumber, Our plumber, that Lopez. We love Nestor Lopez.
Oh, I got a guy, right, you know, we've this but
our AC guy okay, yeah, we love him and he's done. Okay,
many years ago and then I'll finish the story. Many years ago,
there was a real bad heat wave in La and the temperature went up one
day to one hundred and twenty one degrees Do you remember that? And it
was right around July fourth, because Sadie and Elbe were at Camp Hollywoodland and
I went to go pick them up. And the day we were and our
AC had gone out and they couldn't They were going to have to replace the
whole unit because we'd been it had been on its last leg, and we'd
done all these little workarounds and then it broke. And our guy came out
and he was like, I cannot fix this. Yeah, I can't fix
it because I have to come in and put in the thing has to be
fit, The whole motor has to be fixed. Anyway, I started crying
like you do when you're like, but we'll have to leave the hot I
mean, well we have to take the dog. We'll have to you know.
So we had people at the time, so it was seven years ago
about we'll have to go stay in a hotel that takes dogs, you know,
because we and the kids are coming home from camp. It's like there's
a nightmare on the day that it's gonna be one hundred and twenty one degrees.
I was crying. I was like, we can't stay in the house
if it's one hundred and twenty one degrees. And he's like, all right,
I'm gonna do one more workaround. But it's it's basically like a three
hundred dollar job. He just did it for free to save us to make
and it's held up until they could come and put in the new unit.
But anyway, so I love this guy. So he comes over and he's
like, okay, so the evaporator line was frozen. He checks everything.
He's like, I'm not seeing anything, but he's like, did you what
did your air filter look like? He's like, well, I changed the
air filter, and he goes, I have a feeling your air filter just
was too dirty and it wasn't allowing the air to flow. Because I'm not
seeing another problem, and he goes, let's turn it. Let's he's here's
what we're gonna do. You're gonna turn on your fan and you're gonna let
the fan air out the line or whatever for like two hours. Then I'm
gonna call you later and then you're going to turn it back on and we're
going to see if cold air pumps out. So on his way out,
apparently he wanted John to show him the dirt the filter, and John shows
him and he's like, yeah, that and John goes, yeah, I
don't think I changed it in like six months. And he goes, yeah,
that's that's not six months. And John goes in nine months and he
goes, Nope, try again, and Seohan's like, Okay, it hasn't
been changed in a while. He's like, yeah, you need to change
that every three months. Really, and he goes, I'm ninety eight percent
sure now that I've seen your filter that that's what the problem was. That's
what the problem was. Wow. Yeah, two hours later we turned on
the unit. It's been working. It works fine ever since. Jeez.
Wow, So change those air filters, people, yes, especially for summertime.
Don't want to buy all brand new air conditioner for your home now,
like Central Air. Yeah, that's how that's how delicate it is Where do
you find the air filter? Oh? Like it? Anywhere? Where is
it in the Is it in the un It's in the unit. Yeah,
there's like a little door that opens and then you pull your air filter out.
Huh interesting? Yeah, do you have you must have central air in
your condom? Yeah, but I haven't. Yeah, I don't know where.
I have no idea where that thing is. I don't have to look
for it. All right, all right, everybody, good news. Xander
