rave. Beyond Wonderland happened. It's a huge thing. I think I went
to one of those. Yeah, I think it was just called Wonderland back
then, but yeah, I went. I went to one, so was
it? Yes, Yeah, I went to that one. It's funny because
every time you mentioned a rave, you always look at Kaylen because Cayln's like,
hell's the youngest one in the room. Yeah, I would go to
all these raids. I still listen to m music, so I'm wow there
wow. So apparently, and I didn't know this, but there's a difference,
Like there's house music. Elbie loves the house music, then there's the
techno music. They're different stages. Like you go around and oh, what's
the difference between the house and techno. Well, techno is like and uh
and house music is like take your fucking clothes off, right, Yeah,
that's that's about right. But yeah, there's different kinds of house music.
There's techno, there's drum and bass, there's trance. There's different genres of
you. Okay, so one's a one's a headache, and one's a migrant
exactly. Okay, I don't like any of it, but ILB so I
like the house music too, by the way, Yeah, I would rather,
I guess if if I had, if I had to gun to my
head, sure, i'd pick house music. Yeah, I'll be plays me
some stuff and and and because did I tell you that, I'll be about
a DJ board No, yeah, yeah, Ilbi went to one rave and
then was like, I want to do the DJ board. I love this,
I want to d I want to learn how to DJ. I would
love that. Yeah, she's actually already kind of good at it, but
this is so lb. She gets super excited about something and then immediately loses
interest. Well, she does it like obsessively, but for like three days
she and she so she buys this DJ board. First of all, she
runs it by me, like do you think I should buy this DJ board?
And it was like, I don't know. Let's say three hundred dollars,
you know, it's not nothing. Yeah, And I was like,
I don't know, Like you need to be saving money for college, you
know. And she's like, yeah, I know, you're right. And
then it's like a day later she's like she goes to best Buy and buys
it. Yeah, I didn't even know those things exist. What do they
do? It's like a little it's like a a turntable sort of. It's
like an electronic turntable. Really. Yes, it doesn't play records, no,
no, so why the electronically You input all your music into it and
then you can mix it and you can add like you can you can make
the scratch sound probably I'm looking at Kaylin again now like I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, you can do that with that. You can all kinds
of effects. You can you put sound effects to whatever records you or whatever
songs you upload into the I get all that. I just wonder why you
can make one start hanging in louder you can make and then you can dim
the other one out, and then you can make two of them play at
the same I get all that. I just wonder what the turntable is and
the needs no actual turntable. There's but it looks like there's not really well
no, I mean it's okay, there's no It looks kind of round.
It looks like a soundboard kind of Okay, that's what it's just like it
does have a round thing, but it doesn't do anything. It doesn't spin
a record. DJ ish actually about it. Okay. It's just a system
that you would bring to a party and you have all these songs in it,
and you have the ability to on the fly, like you can turn
stuff up, you can turn stuff down. You can like that. I
think you would. I would, but but I don't know any but you
would what you would do? And this is for people our age. I
went down a rabbit hole yesterday of listening to like a bunch of old school
hip hop music, and I was like, oh my god, I forgot
well, okay, this is a little side note. But all of a
sudden, do you ever does this ever happen to you? I had this
this lyric in my head that was like, whodat who'd at? Who'd at
trying to be bad? Whodat who at? Whod at trying to be bad?
And I was like, what is that like? So you know,
I was googled who'd at trying to be bad? Right? Eighties? Right?
All it came up with was like JT something it was. It was
like a hip hop rap song, but it was from like the nineties or
early two thousands. It was not what I was And I tried playing it.
I was like, maybe I'm just misremembering when I heard this, but
I'm like, no, this was from the eighties, this was from high
school. Couldn't find it, couldn't find it. All of a sudden,
in my mind I remembered this song and I was like, I wonder if
this was a break in the song. Do you remember the song? It's
that radio activity it's that radio activity is there any way we could play a
minute of this song if you look up radio activity and it's by, it's
by I can't remember something cash cash cash, something royal cash play. If
you could play a second of that for Lynette, because I know she'll recognize
the song. Okay one, okay, here you go, and I think
you'll know this song. I feel like I'm in high school. That's jam.
Oh hell yeah, oh hell yeah, it's jam. Fuck yeah.
I love this, I love it. Yeah, I do the radio well
in the middle of the song Egypt, it reminds me that other song.
Yes, then it is just the Egypt New York La all the suns go,
yeah, yep, yep, that's the sound. Yes. But it's
like a ten minute song, right, So I was like, I'm in,
I'm listening to the whole song right literally, probably like four minutes in
you get to the hohodat who dat? And I was like, yes,
I fucking knew it. I was like, I have no memory. I
can't remember why I walked into a room, but I remember it drops in
the middle of radioactivity for like nineteen eighty three. Yeah, I was so
proud of myself. I've done that before too, where I'm like, what
song a batter? Ram? I kept thinking bad Ram about it, and
then you find it and you're like, I knew it, like I've done
that. I love it. It's the best. And then the most fun
part is you're on YouTube with this song and you start looking at the comments
and there's all these people that are like, fifty seven that's my songs.
It just made me so happy. I used to love this. And then
some people were talking about living in somewhere on the East Coast or like Florida,
and they were like, oh, the way that you got these songs
was you had to have a friend in New York. They do a mixtape,
yes, And I was like, because I lived in Springfield, mass
in high school and it was like a very New York. It was like
a mafia town. Yeah you yeah, and we got we have DJs that
got their music from New York, so we I feel like we had a
lot of like that underground like that yeah, uh, cutting edge, like
artists that were not mainstream at all yet we heard all these songs first.
So I liked all these like kind of obsecure songs that when I hear them
now, I'm just like, oh yeah, on my feet. Yeah,
like all these Uh there was one called by Aleiam called get Loose. For
that song get Loose, Do Do Do Do Do Do? Anyway, I
went down a rat I just started looking for like obscure like eighties hip hop
music, and I was like, I feel like I'm in heaven. And
then I had the idea that I was like, that's what we need is
somebody who can DJ right all the old school, the really old stuff from
the eighties, like the real Roxanne Roxanne Yes, being at a party.
Yeah, hearing all of our old I would say mixing it like every song
that comes on, it's like, what's that one, the Cinderella the guy
I got a story about it, bubble Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
I would be like, oh my god, for every song. We would
never say we should do it, we should d service. Yeah that we
It's all old school, old school. If I knew that somebody was doing
this at like a gym at like Birmingham High School once a month, I
would pay and what did you want? How much your tickets? I would
be I would be there every month. I would be like the first in
line, wouldn't that be so so fun? We should do it? We
make that a business. How do we know how to do all for people?
Eighties kids? Like? Yes, I feel like there'd be a huge
market for that. I agree, I agree, and bring back all these
old songs, like somebody would have to get a DJ that can really like
know how to do it. Well, you have the equipment now, so
yeah when it, let's get together and let's make a playlist. I may
we start there and we should maybe we make LB be the djay it.
Yes, we'll just feed her stones at my house to listen to Pat.
Yeah, yeah, that is a great idea. Though, that's a fantastic
idea. You know what else would be into it? Patrick? Oh,
he would love that. He could be He could help us to Maybe we
make Patrick have a party. You guys have parties. It's true, we
could. We should do it at a place where strangers can come. Make
a lot of people happy. Yeah, we just want to make people happy.
Just oh, we want to do Stephanie. I think we need I
think we need to do that. I mean, all we got to do
is to I'll start making the play I already have some playlists with some of
those old songs that like Fat Boys and you know, like Curtis Blow and
like, you know, just all that stuff. Friday Night Just Got Paid.
That was a Curtis Glow song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I would really want like some obscure songs that people are like,
oh my god, I haven't heard this song. I know this song like
that one activity like for sure, pop goes My Love? That one,
Okay, I don't ready if I hear it, play pop goes look up,
pop goes my Love. Oh my god, that was I don't remember
something. Do you remember there ain't no features. Yes, yes, it
all sounds they're all one hit wonders. Kind of a lot of the ones
that I like were wonder wonders. But this is when you'll know this one.
Oh yeah, skip to like the middle of the song because they always
have the longest side. Now pop, this sounds familiar, Yeah, I
know. And the other thing about this this is this is our version of
house music. You could stop and songs go on for twenty minutes. They
they kind of remix and remix themselves. That's where we come in as DJs.
We we probably dropped the song at the right part and then we faded
out. Doesn't need to keep writing right, and then we fade in the
next song. Do you remember a E? I owe you a E?
A E oh familiar sometimes? Why? Yeah? Yeah I do? No
no, no, no, no, no no love anyway. Yeah,
I could go down right, I know my brain. Well we what we
should do is first start with the playlist. Make you know how to make
a playlist like on Spotify? Yes, yes, do it? Like will
just put all the Shannon right the music play? Yes? Totally? Yeah,
so os ban right that in there? Yeah yeah, I'm just picturing
you two like standing behind a DJ Boo slipe with your with your headphones on
and like scratching me too. I'm totally picturing it too. Kalend be so
much old folks. Yes, yes, but we can make some money.
I know, sit on Instagram. Get people to come rent out a place.
We should rent a place, let's do it. Get Elb to deep
put all our songs in there and get her to mix mix on Well,
now we need Albi to really learn how to do this. I'm gonna talk,
I swear to God, I'm gonna tell her about it. And if
she can't learn, tell her to teach us because that was the thought I
had. I was like, you should get good at this and do like
get do do some of my music, right, Okay, we're going to
talk to her. Anyway, back to LB being at this rave. Uh
so she was so excited about it. This was the I would say,
this is the one of the most adult things you know that she's ever done.
Right, which is they she and her friend they got an airbnb like
near this place. Oh my god, she was dressed. When I tell
you, like, you know, I'm as liberal as the next liberal California
libtard, right if I didn't, I was just like, okay, okay
do I was like, elb, I can see her under boob. I
can totally see I see your boob. I couldn't help it just came out
of my mom. This is how this is everybody's gonna be dressed. Bikini
tops to these CONTs she was wearing. She was literally wearing a bikini top.
You could see the underneath of her boobs and then like little like booty
like it was like a bikini bottom almost boots, like crazy platform boots with
over the top of the bikini top was like a fishnet thing. That just
had sleeves you know what I mean, like a little like Bolero oh yes,
oh yeah, yeah, top but with but fishnet right all blue.
It was like metallic blue. Then she had her hair in little like baby
doll like she had her hair like pulled up some little like ponytails off the
top with like ribbone, and then she had glitter star things in her hair
and on her But it was crazy. That's so cute though. Okay,
So I'm gonna mix this in with some like really cute news that she had
for me. Okay, so she facetimed me. So she gets there,
she drives, she in her friend, She drove them out to Sam Bernardino
whatever, just the two of them, just the two of them, and
then they had a third girl that was meeting them, but not till the
next night. Okay. So the first time she went to the rave,
she went for one night, then she would She had so much fun there
that she decided to make this a two night extravaganza. You can pay for
one night, or you can pay for two nights. Okay. I mean
this has been like in the making for months. Yeah, she was like
waiting to get a wristband it's all done with a wristband, so they get
them in the mail. It goes for they find it's an Instagram. Yeah,
then they go to some link and they pay and then they I guess
hope for the best. They get the wristband in the mail and then she
was like waiting to get her risk it's not I guess it makes sense because
it's not put on by like Live Nation, right exactly, Yeah, just
like a bunch of people. But it's expensive, right, and they rent
some I don't know who puts it on, but they have like all these
DJs that people that like house music have heard of, you know, right
big to them, you know, because she's like, oh, everybody loves
like Fisher that is going to be at stage two. And then it's like,
okay, well the thing officially starts at four, but the who we
want to see is not, you know, starting until seven, and it's
like who you want to see, it's just the DJ, right, Like
it's not the musical act, it's the DJ. And I even said,
I go, well, if it's house music and there's some song called like
take your mother fucking clothes off, and I'm like, we'll do more than
one person play that song, right, don't know, I'm like, well,
who gets who gets that song? Like I don't understand how it works.
But anyway, but I guess if if if like DJ Polly D was
DJ, I'd be like I want to get there when he did. I
don't want to see all these other you know right over. But what I'm
so curious as to what makes poly d like as sad after like you have
to pay him money, just a thirty thousand dollars or more. Right,
some of these DJs make like a million dollars to go Why no DJ,
why he's flying private jets? But what I don't understand, Like it's not
their own songs right they're playing it is something that is. Yeah, they
definitely make their own music. There's like a you know, like you think
about like Daft Punk or Dead Mouse, Like these are big, big DJs.
They make all their own music. They take samples of other songs and
then put their own you know, spin spin on it. Yeah, and
so like if one DJ has a lost a song, let's say, like
a daft Punk song, then another DJ will take that Daft Punk song and
like just remix it in their own version. But are they allowed to do
that? Yeah? But I think I think it's especially with the bigger DJs,
it's kind of a thing where it's like, hey, I'm I'm using
Like they let them know, Hey, I'm using your song for this.
Like if there's like two DJs at one Wonderland event and one of the DJ's
had like his own song and the other one wants to use it, he'd
probably like contact him and be like, no, don't use that song,
or you can change it to make it sound this way. So it's different
enough to where you can use it. But yeah, DJs definitely make their
own music. Wow, the big guy, like the bigger names like the
Daft Punks or dead Mouse or you know, we need now, we need
a documentary? Is somebody to follow these DJs around? I would love to.
I would watch shit out of that. Like how like the life of
a DJ? Right? I mean, it's one thing to be a producer?
So are they a is DJ another word for like producer? Now?
I guess I mean they're producing the music, So I I like, I
kind of get it. I think that they're producing their own songs. Yeah,
they don't have like a producer in the other room, like mixing and
recording their stuff like they do everything themselves, so I guess they would also
be a producer. That's just part of being a DJ. I guess.
Well, let's take a little break from thinking about this. Yeah, talk
about our sponsors around. Yeah, like Honey Love. Yes, they're making
their own shapewear. And I found them before they were even our sponsors because
I wanted a spra that smoothed out my sides, my back, and I
wanted something pretty and something comfy, and I found Honeylove, and I love
it's the crossover bra, which is so comfortable, and it's my go to

don't have to worry about the sides or the backfat or any of that.

there. Yeah, I'm trying to be so good. I still have LBoN
By three sixty she goes to my house and I really, you guys know
how compulsive I am, but I really do try and it's it's not it's
not that hard. I trust Elbe, but it's a safety thing, like
I like to if she's taken a long drive. I like to sometimes life
three sixty to just be like, oh good, okay, she's there.
Yes, I know too, that's all. I'm not like checking up on
her constantly. I'm not, you know, I know she's out having fun.
I already talked to her before she left. I was like, please
be safe. I gave her an external phone battery. Yeah, they need
that. I lent her the one that Kaylin got us. Yes, Italia
uses that one too. Yeah, I got it charged up. I was
like, take this. She had like three external batteries with her because it's
you know, their phones die fast, these kids, they have a lot
of stuff on them. And exactly exactly. Oh and I told I told
Elbe that story about Natalia, and I was like, you know what had
to happen? Lynette was like upset having to like call an uber for her
at a bad, very bad area of town there, standing out by themselves.
Two girls don't have a phone. When girl's Natalia's batteries almost dance.
She couldn't even call the uber. And Albie's like, oh man, I
know, it's like that cannot be you right, because you know anyway,
So anyway, I get a FaceTime from her from the Airbnb, and I'm
like, Albie never facetimes me. It never. Yeah. First of all,
she rarely ever calls me unless like I'm not answering a text or something
every once in a while, but mostly Ilby just texts me. So to
FaceTime me, I was like, honestly, I was. First. My
first thought was like, that's just an accident. And she hit the button
and I'm gonna answer and she's gonna be like, sorry, mom, that
wasn't you know, it was a mistake. But I answered. She's like
mom, and I was like, what's up? And she goes I got
into SDSU. Whow So her first acceptance in this new round. I know
everybody was probably on pens needles. No they weren't. I was though,
Yeah, so the transfer sheild huh. So she applied to SDSU, She
applied to cow Poly Slow, and she applied reapplied to the UC's. So
these were all the schools that she got rejected from, right because she got
into Santa Cruz last year, as you know, but she didn't want to
go there, so she did not applied. She did not apply to any
schools that she knew. She didn't want to go to, right, but
now San Diego, San Diego State University, she got denied there. Even
with ten aps, dual enrollment, great grades, nothing below a B mostly
a's, she still got turned down. Well, we think it was because
her major was impacted. But also in an impacted major, the problem is,
as you know, the kids, there's so many kids like Lbie,
Like there's so much pressure on our kids these days. So the kids that
are already in this like upper echelon, right, there's so many of them
that if you're applying to an impacted major, there's kids that have much better
stats than Lbie that are also applying for psychology. So of those kids,
she wasn't. She didn't. I don't know, she got to hide,
not even waitlisted. Right, So I think that we've all been a little
bit feeling anxious about, like, how's this. She only did Pierce,
you know, she only did school for one year. Yeah, she had
to reapply literally being in one semester, you know, then she had to
update her grades after her winter right, So like before applying to SDSU,
she had to take another She found out like a week before I think I
told you this. She was all set, she'd done her applications, and
then it turned out that like, oh, you can't apply to San Diego
unless you've taken this extra class. I mean, everything was one thing after
another for her, where she was like are you kidding me? So she
took the class because she was like, listen, I don't know what's going
to happen. I could get denied from the schools that I really really want
to go to, and my choice I want to have cal Poly Slow and
San Diego as an option. Yeah, so she had to have this extra
communications class, so she took it. Then she had to update her grades
for the winter when she doesn't have any, and then she has to say
what's planned for spring. So the point is all of this could go either
way. Yeah, so this was big news. It was the first one
that denied her last year that accepted her as a transfer student, so she
was super excited feeling about it. Now. Then she showed me her outfit,
right, so I'm all excited. I'm like, oh my god,
yes, and then she's like, yes, I want to see my outfit
and I was like yes, and then she's she goes down her body and
I was like, no, what is happening. I was like, Albie,
I was like, I can your boobs see you're under boob and she's
like, I know everybody's dressed like this. Trusts me. Well. I
did go to the Instagram account for and if you want to if you want
to see it, it's called It's at Beyond Wonderland. That was the Instagram
account for the rave r. Yeah. Yeah, Oh, it was just
conservatively compared to some girls. I mean there are full on like g strings
with crazed hassles, and you know, I mean some people. Then there's
like a guy dressed like a banana take a picture with it runs the gamut,
is what I'm saying. Yeah, So I resisted the urge. I
eventually went to sleep. I did not life three sixty her until the morning.
But I did see that she didn't get back to her room until four
thirty in the morning. Right, but it starts late, doesn't it earth
No, not really. It turned out it turned out that they it was
shit. They'd go a little sideways at the end. They were freezing cold.
They brought these like emergency blankets that are like I don't know, there
are these foil things. Yeah, you keep in your car. Yes,
oh I could see that, and then they sort of heat they have some
self generated way that they heat up, and then she's smart. They but
she said they were wrapped in this emergency blanket. They couldn't get an uber.
They couldn't have their sole. Reception was so bad and there were so
many people that it was impossible that none of the ubers would They kept asking
the problem canceling, that's the problem with these concerts. Yeah, like Stagecoach
last year. They the girls had a hard time because there was no reception
because everybody's trying to get an uber, right, so right, they got
to figure this out. Yeah, so she said they didn't. They finally,
like ubers kept saying they would come to them, but then they'd be
twenty minutes away, they cancel, Like ten minutes later they'd cancel. So
they finally got somebody and then Elbie said there was like a road closure so
the ubers couldn't get through. But then this one uber and now it's really
late, was like, is there any way They're like, we'll come to
you because he's like, I can't get to you, and they were like
if we walk it was like four blocks, you know, and the guy
was like, okay, yeah, if you walk to me, I'll take
you. So they did. But then there was some kind of crazy like
the freeway was closed. So she said it was kind of a nightmare,
but at least they were in the warm uber, right, And then they
were in traffic for an hour, even though they got an uber that was
right next to the venue, but because the road was closed, it was
just a blocked line of cars. Wow. Anyway, I was proud of
myself for resisting. But she still had a great time. She It wasn't
like yeah, He's like yeah. Then we got back and then we went
to sleep, and then the next day they had fun during the day and
then they went back that night and they still had an She was she had
an amazing time. So did that's good? Did the next night did they
figure out how to get an uber? Did the earlier She was like,
we knew we were freezing again and our feet hurt. Yeah, and it's
funny. Elbe was like, well, I was very sober. She's like,
the first I get I think they couldn't get a hold of any alcohol
the second night, right, and they didn't have a friend, They couldn't
find a friend that was over twenty one that they knew they could get alcohol,
and she said it was also super overpriced. But the night before I
guess they'd had a few drinks somehow, right, And so she's like,
it didn't. I didn't. I was sober by the end of the night.
Yeah, but I didn't feel like my feet hurting. But she's like,
second night, honestly, she goes, we were way too sober,
so like feet hurt. It was like I can't imagine. Everything was getting
too loud, like you know. I was like, yeah, welcome to
my world. He exactly literally all the time I feed her and I'm sober,
Right, things aren't as fun. There's a lot of things that you
can tolerate a lot easier with a few drinks in you. So I get
it right. But she had like a really good time. So then I
was thinking, and I know you'll be with me on this. I was
like at Elbe's age, the shit that I was doing. Yeah, that
like nobody had life three sixty on me. I mean I was going to
Vegas. We were driving to Vegas at like nineteen twenty years old, right,
like driving four hours yes to Vegas with like one hundred dollars and like
Scien's barely anywhere to stay, like enough money for a hotel for one night.
We'll figure it out. Yeah, we went to Laughlan. We couldn't
even afford Vegas, like going to Laflin, Like, ah, it's a
poor man's Vegas, poor man's Vega. The very first time I ever went
to a casino, I was like, wait, I could win money by
putting quarters in this machine. Like I sat there played quarters all night lost
like yeah, uh yeah. We we would just get just take off and
just go. Nobody knew where we were going, what we were doing.
Figured it out. I was having one night stands too, like so okay,
So this I would have been a little bit older, like early twenties
though. Yeah, but oh my god, I was going off. I
remember me and my friend, so I would have been like maybe twenty five.
I remember very vividly me and my friend going to Vegas, being drunk
in some casino, meeting some guys, going back to their room, sleeping
with them, and then like the next day being like ew ew, like
what did I do? Right? Okay, and then having to like deal
with going to breakfast all the four of us and being like I get away
from these guys, right, you know, I mean that was I was
like risky behavior, but it seemed really fun at the time. I know
my time my girlfriend Dawn, it's no secret, but like she was a
floozy, and we like left Jeremiah's with these other guys that we barely knew.
They were gonna drive us home. We're in the back of their Hyundai
and then we get like pulled over by this this gang of other guys who
knew the guys in the front seat, and I guess apparently they owed them
money, so they pull them out of the car. I think I've told
this story. Beat the crap out of them. Shut up, you've never
had this story, yes, and start at the beginning. You don't know
these guys from any well. We meet him at Jeremy and we see him
like every now, and they're like hey, hey, hey. And then
eventually one night, you know, Don was really working. This one guy's
name was Sergio, and and she was like, we're gonna They're gonna take
us home, but we're gonna I don't know where we were going. I
don't know if we were going home to her house or if We're going to
their house and then home. Who cares. I don't know. This guy's
a limit. Like, all right, let's get in. Let's pile in
this little Hyundai. I was the in the middle seat, like smashed.
There was three guys and me and then me and Don, two guys in
the front, one guy, Sergio. A lot of guys. It was
a lot and they were big, yes, And I was like, but
what did I I don't know. I was drunk. I was like,
all right, here we go. And so I was like, we see
them all the time. Weren't getting we weren't worried about getting sex trafficked in
those days. No, there was no worry about that. I was these
guys were in Woodland or now where were we north Ridge? North Ridge?
Yes, and we I think that they went to season. Yeah. So
we're like, oh, they're college. You're like, oh, you know,
they're good kids. You know, I'd a worst. I don't even
I know exactly. I don't even think I even thought anything. Like we
see them all the time. They're happy, go lucky dudes. They're like,
yeah, come with us. And Don really likes Sergio. We get
we pack into this freakin Hyundai, and I just remember we like leave Jeremiah's.
We go like one right, one left, and they're going down a
side street and this truck of guys just pull up next to us and they're
like hey, bubba bubba. And I thought that they were friends. We're
like hey, I'm like waving at us. Steve and I thought we were
friends. And all of a sudden, they all jump out. They go
to both sides of the car, they open the doors. They pull Sergio
and the other guy out of the car, and then the other guy in
the backseat jumps out. Don and I are like, what the fuck is
going on? They start beating the shit and one guy had a gun in
his in his pants in front of his pants, and I go, they
got guns, Don, Don, we got to get out of here.
And I pull her out of the car and then I'm she starts running and
I starts Yes. Of course, I was serpentining supertit and I was like,
I'm going to a neighbor. I'm going to somebody's house. I'm gonna
knock on the door. And I ran up to their front porch and then
like I like a hid in the bushes and then Don's like taking her sweet
time, and She's like, my purse, my purse. They took her
purse, They took my purse. Our purse was a mess in the street
like after they left, like all of our shit just all everywhere. No
wallet, no credit cards, no money, all of that's gone. My
id, my fake ID, I think all gone, Like all of that
shit's gone. Oh pot that don had in her purse is gone, like
all that and Sergio and these guys are just in the Sergio's got the ship.
His eyes were like I should have Don come on the show and talk
about His eyes were like big baseballs, like you know, purple and see
straight and all me and Donn are thinking like how are we gonna get home
now? Like now I don't even know where we are. We're in some
street and Northridge, like there's no ways, there's no uber phones, no
phones, Like I'm like, who's we He can't drive and they're just like
in the street, the three of them, And I don't know, maybe
somebody had a page or or something, but at that point, but but
you can't like there's we're just we were stuck. And one of the guys
got in the car. The guy at least that didn't really get the shit.
He got in the car and he drove us home and he just dropped
us off at our at our at Down's place, and he's like by girls
and like left. And the next morning, Don's like, what happened where'd
Sergio go? And I go, oh no, no, she didn't.
I go what do you mean where'd Sergio go? I could not? I
go done? Do you remember what happened last night? Guys with guns?
You know? It's like we were serpentining. I was trying to get you.
They took it. She's like, where's my purse? I go our
are gone? Done? Like gone, We don't have anything, no credit
cards. We had to go to DMV to get I mean that was that
what it was like back then? Like yeah, so no three sixty,
no parents paying attention to where we were. I mean my mom tried.
But by then, by the time I was like nineteen twenty, this is
a shit what was going on? You know? But yeah, it was.

yeah, But you know what, I haven't had something that bad happen,
but I have done. I have definitely had like crazy where I'm like,
how did I make it out of that? Oh yeah, and stuff that
I kind of barely remember, but definitely going home with some randos like yeah,
but it was all seemed kind of safe at the time. You know
what I remembered that happened to me that I told I was just telling John
this last night. I was I must have been early twenties because I can
picture what I was wearing this night, but I was. I think I
was talking about how much I drove drunk, like back in the day,
like in my early twenties, right, I just that's just what I did.
Yeah, and I drove a broken down car. I had this Mazda
GLC banana yellow. This was before I won my car in a game show.
So I must have literally been because I think I was on the game
show. I was like twenty one and I won the car, right,
But so prior to that, I must have literally been like under it,
like twenty years old. I was dry somehow I was driving by myself and
I was drunk. And I don't know why this. I don't know why
I would have been by myself, but I know I was by myself.
Car broke down. Were you in LA Road? I was in La and
I was on like the one ten freeway. Oh yeah, car breaks down.
Oh no, my car didn't break down. I ran out of gas.
Oh perfect, right, yes, imagine of course I ran out of
gas. Of course I did. Mean, so car runs out of gas.
I'm on the side of the road. It's like one in the morning.
I'm wearing heels, and you know, remember the heels that we wore
back then, like pumps. I'm wearing pump pumps. A tight like white
like stretchy material skirt, remember how we would wear those almost like with ribbed
like but narrow skirt that was stretchy material, and then probably like some kind
of HALTERI ish top. You know, I'm not I'm dressed like that.
I have to. And of course a giant belt. Oh yeah, we
wore those big leather belts with like a huge like belt, like a circle,
massive belts that almost almost a little bit like weightlifter belts. We thought
that was the height of fashion. Right right, walking literally on the freeway
having to leave the car, I'm walked by myself down the freeway like towards
it, and I'm like very buzzed. Right, some guy pulled up,
Oh I know why. I know why. I was telling John this because
I was listening to a crime podcast and he goes, you just love these
crime podcasts, and I was like, it's amazing to me that I was
never murdered. I know. I let some guy okay pulled up and was
like, hey, do you need help? Just some guy by himself one
o'clock in the morning, and I was like I don't remember having like a
feeling of like, do not get in the car. I remember thinking like,
oh, thank god, and he's like, want me, do you
need me to take you to like a gas station? And I was like,
yeah, okay, hop in the car with the guy. Guess what.
Took me to a gas station, got some gas in a thing,
brought me back to my car, put the gas in my car. So
he didn't murder good day, did not even murder me. Isn't that great?
Shocking? Is that? Though? I know? I think with all
the people that get picked up that like get a ride from some I mean
I was prime. I'm walking around in like a tight shirt in the middle
of the night, right, yea, with an abandoned car, and some
guy just actually helped me, right, isn't it crazy? I'm like,
wow, I know it's not the only time something like that happened. That's
the time I can remember, right, I know. I agree. I
mean I think about sometimes too, Like I remember there was this guy,
Oh god, he was like a dweebee guy, and he came to Jeremiz
a lot, and he apparently was a producer of like porn no like music,
like a music porn audio porn son. He listens to like like some
like like you know, he he was he's had some recording act girl or
something and you know, and he's like, you you could be this the
next you could be this first white girl rapper. And he's like, you
should we should record a song, which you kind of could. I could
at the time, like because there was no white girl rapper and you can
be He met, Yes, that's right. He saw me do that.
He wasn't. No, he wasn't. And I talked to him about and
everybody's like, you should do it, you should do it, you should
do it. Well, then he we exchanged numbers or whatever, and he's
like, I wrote a song. You should come. And I even have
that song somewhere. I should find it. But he wrote it, he
wrote it out. It was the most ridiculous. It was like like hey,
everybody out here to say you know, like one of those like yeah,
oh of course he used the last name of Paradise, you know,
had a rhyme it with something. It was so ridiculous. But he was
like, come to my house and and and let's go through it. And
I was like, okay, I go to this guy's house. He reminded
me of the guy like in Boogie Nights in one of those houses, like
remember when they went and they were playing you know, Sister Christian and the
guy was It was like one of those houses in the valley and it was
just me and this dewey bee guy. And I'm thinking to myself, I
think nothing happened, But I'm thinking myself back then, like my god,
what if I found out and n Italia did that, I would kill her.
Oh you go to some guys at the age of nineteen, you know,
by yourself. And then there was another time a photographer. I was
getting my Z card done, remember those Z cards they called it, which
was you had your your It was like five by seven cards and you had
your like head shot on the front and then on the back you had like
your resume. No, like four different pictures like at the closet. Yes,
here's me playing tennis right here here. I am serious, or like
I just you know, bad girl. Yes, but I'm so smart.
I got a book in my hand and I have glasses on my face like
you know. So it was like four of those pictures. Well, one
picture was the tough picture and he the photographer was like, you know,
he was taking these pictures of me like outside in like the wash, like
the damn the La River, and a lot of bodies turn up exactly.
And then he was like, okay for the bad girl image, Like I
had a leather jacket and jeans and a black belt, big black belt,
and he's like, you should just have like a black bra. And then
your like leather jacket kind of hanging off your shoulder. Jacket's on, but
it's like you've you know, you're like up against the chain link fest and
you got the jacket hanging off of one shoulder and you got your you know,
people can see clearly it's a bra, right, and you like hair's
all messy and you look all tough, like like you know what, like
you just had a fight in your bra right in the La River. What
the fuck am I doing in the La River? Right? It's just weird
and I did it. I was like, Okay, that sounds good.
Like I'm like get taking my shirt off and putting my in front of this
like photographer who maybe somebody recommended from I don't know who, but like I
just think about, like wow, I could have been so many people.
I'm not even I'm not being funny. So many people I've been murdered that
way. I like, that's a thing in la is like people posing as
photographers and then murdering people and bearing their body. There's aigelists for us,
right, there's a big story of that. That that model that yeah,
ended up dead because a photographer killed her. Yeah, yeah, I know.
I think to my said, what the fuck nobody was going, Hey,
that's a bad idea. I used to have a stand up joke in
my act about how I just got my first big break. This is how
the bit went. It was I might butcher this because you know, I
haven't done stand up in twenty years. But I was like, I just
got my first big break. Uh. I met a producer. He's gonna
put me in his movie, and uh it's a crazy story. It's kind
of like the Lana Turner story. That's I was down. I was hanging
out at Oakie Dog at Santa Monica Boulevard and a guy came over to me
wearing like no shoes, you know, but he gave me his card and
it said producer, slash agent, slash whatever. And I said, uh,
is there new to. I'm like, I'm no dummy. I was
like, is there going to be nudity and he was like yes, full
frontal nudity. And I was like, well okay then, because I want
to I got to show off what I got, like I'm looking for an
opportunity. I can't remember what it was, but it was basically like the
joke was that I'm so dumb that like any guy gives me his card,
but that's what people, but people were that dumb. People were like,
oh, your card says you're an agent. Oh my god, you might
say an agent. Yeah, I'm going to go to your house an audition
for you. Okay, right, I now it's crazy. So so to
bring it full circle, I feel like I did all this stuff. So
maybe that's in my head of just how the risks I took and and how
I just had this fun life. So now I'm overly like I try not
to make LB paranoid, but I'm always like, okay, listen, make
sure. I was like, things can happen. I'm not going to say
exactly what things can happen, but like, do not go off with any
guy like that you don't know, like, don't split up with your friend.
Whatever you do, be with your friend the whole time. And in
my mind, I'm like, it's not even that safe to just be with
one friend. I'm like be in a group, but like have no in
your mind that not everybody has the best intentions. Exactly, don't drink a
drink that's like open, don't you know. I was like, just that
stuff can happen. I know, I'm so careful. And so she has
that in her head, I know. And then she she did tell me
some stories about like nothing scary scary, but like there were certain guys that
like kind of wouldn't leave them alone, and at one point, like the
guy kept going, hey, uh can I come with you? Guys?
And and just just being she was like a couple of the guys just seemed
off and kind of creepy. Yeah, and I'm not going to say that
she said I had your voice in my head, but I feel like she
did because she was like she told her friend like they had a code word
for like when they're not feeling comfort something. It was like a Hungarian word.
Oh, that's it is Hungarian. So they would say the word and
then cool if they felt uncomfortable, they would both they and they did a
couple like she was like we we just started walking really fast and then we'd
like dipped behind somebody and like ran for it. Oh good, I lost
people in the crowd. And I was like, Okay, that's awesome.
And I know she kept her wits about her. I know she didn't get
really drunk. So it like makes me feel better, but it brings up
anxiety of like how did I survive? Yes, and now like my late
teens and twenties and now we have teenage daughters where like, you know,
oh my god, now we have to worry about how are they gonna,
you know, like just make it right. I was doing and we've talked
about this a lot of times, but I was doing massive amounts of cocaine
at like nineteen years old. Nineteen I had just moved to LA and met
like guys in our neighborhood that were giving us coke. And it's not it
wasn't even that the neighborhood guys. It was what I would do when I
was on coke. In the desire to get more coke, I would like
trust anybody, Oh, that guy's gonna give me coke. Some guy I'm
met at a club. That's like, Hey, I got in a car
with my friend, went to some abandoned construction site on mo Holand with some
guys in their thirties because they were giving us coke crazy and they drove us
back home, right, but like they could have so easily not. I
know, it's scary. I took so many unnecessary it was risky behavior.
And you know, I'll just end with like, my kids went to this
Bond Senior another senior bonfire that the student group parts on or whatever down in
like Newport Beach this weekend, and I was just like, just remember the
Buddy system because I was just watching the news and the kid that was missing
in Nashville, Yes, it's really sad ended up. They found him in
the in the bay. It's no foul play. But if you see videos,
they don't know that it was a foul play though, right they said
when they pulled they they are most likely thinking that there was. I mean
I watched the press conference after they pulled him out, and they said it
looks to us at this point no foul play. And also he was kicked
out of a bar in Nashville for being too drunk, and then there's tons
of surveillance video of him throughout the city just stumbling, and one point he
falls to the ground. And in this video, I don't know if you've
seen it, he's like running through a parking lot and he falls. He
just lay and he takes like a couple beats to get back up, and
there's just people driving in traffic, and I'm like, if these people in
this car saw this kid who's just fell, he's by himself and he's on
the ground and he can't get back up, if somebody would have just been
like, hey, are you okay? Do you need help? I mean,
obviously was really drunk, and they I guess he ended up in the
bay and drowned, you know at this point. So I told the kids
that and they were like, you're like, have a fun night, yes,
But they listened to me. They were like wow because they heard that
this kid was missing. And they said, well that you know, they
found him and this is what happened. And they were like, oh shit,
we like I just that's all I want, just to plant the little
seed in the little brain, like you know, just stay buddy, be
safe, buddy, system, don't go off don't get too drunk. Yeah
