Made a decision. Face sunny, sad, I had asion. So what's
up, everybody, bitches. Listen, if you hear snoring in the background,
it's Phil. He's still here. He's delicious. Yeah, he's he's
recovering, you guys, donut off. Oh okay, that's good because he's
just relaxing. Yeah he's not. Yeah, he's just relaxing. He's not
trying to eat his stomach. No. And I think the snoring was the
doughnut. He can't lay his head flat. Yeah, so hopefully now he'll
be quiet. Poor. Well, at one point he went from snoring from
the other side of the room and then realize, Oh, there's a comfy
couch over there. Why am I not laying on it right now? So
if you heard the snoring increase on Tuesdays, he's a lot closer to Aphon.
Yeah, you're a good boy. Do you let people up on the
couches? Oh god, yeah, I know, I know, Phil.
Oh everywhere she's she's all on our bed, she's on our couches, she's
on. Yeah. Phil can go anywhere in the house except if Olga's in
the kitchen. He does not go in the kitchen, right, Yeah,
because in her village she'll kick a dog. She may need him. And
then the ribs a couple of times. Now he listens to he listens to
Olga. He does not go in the kitchen. I was gonna say,
does he going to any room? Ulgas in the kitchen he is not allowed.
Yeah, and I'm not allowed. And Natalia's room he's not allowed.

Oh my god? Yeah? So many things? Okay, yeah,
so how to create a sex scandal? Holy shit? With the fuck with
the fuckballs? I was I told you guys, I know, but I
don't remember. Do you remember her telling us about us? I know?
All about double agent, undercover undercover. I know all about that, but
I don't really quite remember us like a month ago because I found it.
Yeah, I know, I know it was this morning. I'd probably be
like you told me, right, I know. But and also the name
of it doesn't it just sounds kind of generic. It's not like, you
know, yeah, it doesn't sound like what it is, right, it
doesn't sound like they should have named it something like abducted in plain sight,
right like that, yes, yes, yea, or this is some fucked
up shit, right, you can't look away. I went on Facebook in
our group and I was like, holy shit, you guys how to create
a sex scandal? Like what is happening? Right? So only like only
like one person saw it and was like this is crazy. Yeah, you
guys, everybody's got HBO max by now right, well this is this is
like okay, we all love Natalia Grace, right, we all thought that
was insanity and we were all like, mouths agape, what's going on here?
This was worse? This, This was like I was watching it like
this, so we're on the YouTube, will be on the YouTube eventually,
but I was like what I had to stop in the middle and text Lynette
and I was like, Lynette, give me to watch this, write this
second. What are you doing? Stop what you're doing and turn this on.
And she was like, bitch, I already told you about it.
I know. I was like, well, you should have told me about
it louder because I didn't know this was existing. Right. So it starts
out. I don't want to spoil any part of it because I kind of
forgot about it, okat. So it starts out with this mom who's who's
a foster mom, right, and she fosters a lot of kids. She's
a here, she's a true hero, right right. So she's um gets
these kids from different bad homes and she she like is trying to h yeah,
her and her husband, who looks a lot like Sam Clause. I
was just gonna say that, yep, yep. And she seems really normal,
right and like yeah, because she's talking in the documentary. Usually when
yeah, when they're being interviewed in a documentary, you think like, okay,
well they got their ship together, or you believe yeah. Yeah,
So this is gonna have some twists and turns. But there she takes in
this family of kids that were taken away from their parents. Their parents were
like meth addicts or some some bad ship was going on in their home.
Okay, so she's she's assigned this family of young kids. They're pretty young.
One of the girl, one of the girls, I think, is
only like four or five, like she's a baby. Yeah, really young.
And then one of the kids is like seven. And then then there's
like a cousin right that that I don't know how she really got involved in
this, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're interviewing these kids.
So the mom is telling us this story. Okay, I'm not gonna
tell you too much, but about how the mom, the foster mom,
was like, you know what, I have all these foster kids, and
I think I want to get a facility where I can really almost like a
daycare, where I can kind of like have all these kids and we'll run
it. I'll get some employees. So she goes to the site of this
place. Now apparently and this is we're talking about this little town in Texas,
right, Okay, Now she's from California, Yeah that's right. Yeah,
So she lived in California with her Santa Claus husband, and they decide
that they're going to go move to this tiny, tiny Texas town. We
don't really know why, right, but she wants a little quieter life.
She wanted a Yeah, it was a very quaint town, really small,
right, like a couple of thousand people. But in this little small town
in Texas, Kaylin, are you listening? I am in this little small
Texas town. I would love to hear like the abstract, like how they
list this on HBO? Do you have a listing for it? Let me
look that up. Yeah, look it up. I just want to hear
how they describe it, because I don't want to give spoilers, but all
what's also happening in this town that we find out at the beginning of the
documentary. There there's a lot of things that we find out that are all
horrifying. Right in this little teeny teeny tiny town. It's like a Rebecca,
there's a like a swingers club, right, right, Yes, So
she goes to it, looks at this facility that's for rent and it's at
the place where there had been a swingers club. Right. Okay, But
you're probably thinking to yourself, which I was, like, if you only
have a town of a few thousand, that's a pretty high percentage of them
that are swingers in order to keep a swingers club going, right, But
true story, they really had a swingers clublic and none of these said like
some people came from the other town over right, Yeah, like they're like,
hey, swingers club right one town over. Who wants to come?
Yeah? You know which I always wonder how about those I know? I
know people in the lifestyle of the swinger not you do not well, Like
I couldn't just text them and be like, tell me more, you know
what. I've had people in my writers class that had gone to like swing
swing parties and stuff and told me all about it, because I've always been
very curious, Yes, like how do you just end up swinging? Yeah?
That's how do you spring that on somebody else? Like you're dating and
you're like, yeah, we all. I mean I don't know we all,
but we've come across other couples where they're where you're like, something's going
on with them, like they're very friendly, right, we know a couple
we do. I'll tell you Lafia Okay. I learned on a podcast the
other day and it was then confirmed by a people in the Facebook group that
if you are a swinger, you display pineapples in your house upside down.
I feel like that's an old wives tale really. I mean we were all
like, no, that's not true. But then there's a lot of people
in the fans listening to that like, oh yeah, that's true. So
wow, that's what I heard the other day. There's also what you do
though, is you advertise you go on like dating sites, right, and
you say you're swingers. Now, yeah, maybe in the old days you
had to have an upside down pineapple wasn't a thing with the with the ice
storm where they left the key. Everybody put the key. Yeah, key
party, heat party. Yeah. John always makes jokes whenever we go to
a party that he's like, do you want to both bring keys? Like,
how do you like? How do you party? You're young? So
key party is where people it's like a swinger's part where you go and it
was kind of big, like I think in the sixties. It sounds like
a drink. You drop your keys in a bowl like a fish bowl,
and then people go and they take out that you have to reach in and
you grab keys and it's somebody else's keys, and then you have to be
with that person. Like the husband's with the yeah, okay, yeah,
but what if yeah, what if you get the yeah? I see that's
a step up from what I'm already doing, right exactly. And then Bill's
wife is like, well, somebody's got a fuck out like that had its
sister. Right, You're like, did Bill even take a shower? Like,
I don't know, I don't love stuck with Gladys right yeah. Or
there's one hot wife everybody wants, you know, right, Oh, everybody
wants her. Everybody wants you know, bridget Right. But we've all seen
HBO's real sex, and we know that the people that are down to swing
are usually not the most attract not the people you want to swing with necessarily,
But these days standards. I remember there was this one podcast and I'm
gonna get I will take us back to back on track. This is a
slight digression, but there was like a date line. Remember the wolf not
not the wolf Pack they called themselves. It was these It was all these
young people. Okay, remember they're gonna remember this story. It was a
it was a pretty big date line. So this woman, this there's a
woman and she's married to a guy and they have best friends this like other
couple that they're best friends with, and this woman ends up she starts sleeping
with this guy that like works at Costco, that she works at Costco,
and she starts hooking up with this fireman do you remember this? And her
husband is a fireman. The guy kills her husband right. Oh, her
little young boyfriend ends up killing the husband who's a fire and fire and they're
friends with this other couple. And then it comes out I don't remember how
he kills him. I think he shoots him. And then it comes out
eventually that her boyfriend did it and they get caught. And then later towards
the end of the date line you find out that they're all swingers. Okay,
but that that couple had been swinging with the other couple and things,
and but that he wasn't cool that she had this other guy that she was
sleeping with outside of the swingers lifestyle. It's so funny that it was Costco
because I had a friend that worked at Costco and his girlfriend were swingers.
Oh, yes, Costco. Costco. Something's going on at Costco in the
in the sample? Yeah, so okay, so there's a so yeah,
so I have this somebody who writes and was telling me about how yes you
answered these ads. But she started dating a guy and somehow she worked in
the conversation like does he like to you know, swing open being an open
yeah, And he was like yeah, but I was hearing about how what
happens when you go to the swing party? Right, like do you just
immediately walk in and go who wants to suck? My dad? Get on
these titties? Like right, like shot first, like have some cheese and
crackers? Who wants breath? And then you're like, bree my wife,
Oh my god, that must be a great joke for though, I say
some breath right kind yeah my wife? Yes, my wife. I just
show we just show the kids BA the other day. Yes, yes,
so they could learn about my wild wife. My wife. Okay, So
anyway, there's a swing club in the school town in Texas and they interview
some people. You want the description, okay, yeah, tell me a
shattering story emerges emerges from a swingers club in a small Texas town. That's
okay, all right, it is a shatter story. Yeah. So okay,
so there's this swing club and then the swing club kind of closes down.
I'm assuming from like lack of inch trust, you know, or you
know, just hygiene, like who's cleaning up after who's popping up after all
that? Right? Yeah, So this foster mom is going to look into
this place as a place to like open up a facility. And she brings
these kids from this home that she's just taken in and they think the swing
club looks very familiar. Okay. Then craziness ensues and shit is so far
reaching and insane. But then towards later in the documentary, you're gonna be
like, wait, well, what what and then you're it takes so many
turns and it is like, seriously, if you're listening to this podcast,
I love you and I'm glad you're listening, but stop listening right now and
go watch and then come back. Yet nobody watched. So nobody on our
Facebook has has seen it. I don't wrong with everybody. I don't know,
but they're going to see it now. Everybody's like, oh, they're
so many things on my list. I'm like, fuck my list, watch
this? Yes, all right, you know what? Speaking of things we
love, let's talk about Hello Fresh, Hello Fresh, Hello Fresh. I'm
okay, I feel like i've been talking a lot, and I want you
guys to talk, but I'm I'm obsessed now with Hello Fresh and I joined.
Okay, so I got my free some free meals because we're doing ads
for them, and I love them so much and they were so easy to
make. And we've talked about Hello Fresh over the years, but I got
super inspired and joined right because because I made my meals, we get tired
of trying to come up with stuff to eat. And Hello Fresh as meals
the kids, My kids love them. There's never been a meal really that
I've made that they don't like. Because and you can take a pick too,
like you can show the recipes and go, which one do you want
to try? Do you want to try this one is spaghetti? Or do
you want to try this? And everything so fresh and they send you like
produce and you just have to rinse it off, cut it up and like
there you go. But I made this. I made this dish that UM
had the potatoes, and I cut the potatoes. I was like learning things
about baking. Yeah, cut the potatoes and thin slices, put them all
on a baking sheet. They taught me. They put some stuff on there
for me to season them with and like everything comes out like you're in a
restaurant. It's so good. Yes, and it's a really it's a healthy
meal. You have your protein, your vegetables, and again you don't have
to worry about going like oh gosh, I have to go to the store
and get it. They have to give you everything you need and it's done
in like fifteen Like it's so the prep time is nothing. If. They
have a lot of different meal plans, I like them. I did the
Pscytarian, but you can do the Family Meal, and you can do like
the fit and you can do the UM the Quick and Easy. Yes,
they have a lot of different choices also have you can reach your goals with
delicious, calorie smart and protein smart lunch and dinner options. It's perfect.
Yes, it's a really great plan. I think I went with the family
meal ones and one of the other ones that we got, not the port
tenderline I talked about this week. It was like it was a spaghetti was
zucchini and sausage and some spices. And you know sometimes with the kids,
they don't eat anything but the basics, and it's like what do we have
dinner? I don't know, we just throw together a regular spaghetti, you
know, regular sauce. This was just as easy as doing that, and
it tasted so much better. Yeah, and the kids loved it. I
made a mushroom pasta was like that too. I never would have thought of
putting some of the ingredients like I made pasta, but it had like this.
It had like this um condensed mushroom something that it had this um creamy
thing that you whip into it. And it was like John was freaking out.
He was like, this is like the best meal you've ever cooked.

lby, Update on lby. I'll be update, I'll be update. So
she texts me the other day, Okay, this is like a good news
bad news situation. I don't think she'd mind me telling you guys this but
so she texts me and she said, so, I got rejected from Santa
Barbara. So you know how she was on the waiting list and we were
all putting good juju out there. Yea. They sent her a message saying,
check your portal, there's been a change in your application status. So
she got excited because that can mean she got in. She did say she
felt she wasn't super confident about it though, and then it said, yeah,
you're out rejected. You ain't going to UCSB this year. It's wrong
with these places. I don't know. But so we're she's going to be
going to community college. And so you know, she was kind of avoiding
like the signing up process and I needed her. So the whole psychology major,
as I told you so, like listen up, yeah, okay,
yeah, because take this in because this is free shit for you. I
know. Okay, I'm saving you some money right now, even though you're
already spending it. But I get it. Yeah, okay, So psychology
superimpacted major. She would have had to do like twice as well as she
already did in school to get into psychology at certain schools. Okay, maybe
other schools around the country. She could have gotten in on psychology. You
see, schools very impacted for psychology. Okay, so she was at Also,
psychology at Santa Barbara is brain science. So I think I told you
guys about this before. So it's a very heavy science major, which she
was like, no bueno, right, So I was like, so we
looked over some other majors for her, and we came up with sociology,
which looks like a great major for her. It's all the fun stuff about
psychology, like understanding how people tick, and it's sort of like how how
do you like societies work? Like it's really I told her it's like gossip.
Yeah, yeah, right, I get it, all the good stuff
about psychology, but without like the science science. Okay, So she we
agreed on that, but meanwhile she hadn't she needed to have a meeting.
You have to have a meeting with a counselor because you have to do what's
basically called like an education plan. Okay, you can't really know on your
own. It's hard to figure out exactly what classes you need to take.
So and Elbie was really like dragging her feet on this, and I kept
saying, Elbie, we need you. You might have to take a class
over the summer because I want her to graduate in one year, right,
So in order to do she had to there's a lot of classes she's going
to have to take over the year in order to be eligible to apply this
fall. Literally this this November, she's going to be applying to college.
Wow. Yeah, So waiting, waiting, waiting, She's like at her
boyfriend's house. I was like, okay, you know what, like,
you have to do it. So the next day she wakes up, she's
like, oh, she's in a terrible mood, super like huffy puffy about
it, you know, I mean, you know, I'm going over to
my boyfriend's house or whatever. I was like, yeah, okay, So
in the morning, either come home or go into there's a zoom. You
can sign up to talk to a counselor in the zook. So she said
she would do it. So the next day she starts texting me, so
you don't have to look for counselors. That they make it easy, you
can just kind of Yeah. So she goes on there and there's no there's
express counseling, but that's to answer only a quick question. She tries to
get an appointment with a regular counselor for like an hour long appointment. There's
no She's like, there's no appointments. So I'm like, well, you
gotta get an appointment. So go into the express counseling and ask them how
do you get an appointment? Or try to ask them the questions that you
need to ask. So she's like okay. So then now she's into it,
and I'm getting text from her like Okay, I'm in the waiting room,
but there's like a thirty minute wait. I was like, do you
know how many times I've been I've been on hold of Blue Shield for four
hours over stuff for you, Like you could wait thirty minutes, like join
the club, be an adult. Right, that's that's short. I literally
said, I go, that's not even that. Locking do something else while
you're waiting. Yeah. She's like, well I can on because you have
to like be here in case like they let you into the room. I
was like, okay, we'll just go on your phone, right, yeah,
all right. So then she gets into the she gets in the room
and she tells me they're not nice about it. She's like, Hey,
I'm wondering if you can help me like, I'm trying to change my major
and I need to figure out what class and they're like, yeah, that's
not something that you can do in the express counseling session. This is for
like answering one question. So she's like okay, but there weren't any appointments
and they're like, yeah, well, why is it to be adapted?
So try to you know, you have to just keep checking. So I
look on the website myself and I'm like, at first I'm going to try
to get in there and do it for her. Yeah, but then I
was like, and honestly, I'm just keeping it real. I probably would
have done it for her. I was like, what's your what's your ID
number for the school, what's the you know, what's the information, what's
your password? And she gives it all to me, and then honestly,
it was one of those she had picked, one of those Google passwords that
were super like a million letters and numbers, and I was like, oh,
hell no, Like I haven't had enough coffee. So I was like,
I don't know. Elbie. I said. It says that you should
log on at midnight and like first thing in the morning and look for openings
for first sessions. Okay. So she's like okay. So later that night,
like eleven o'clock, I was like, Mitch, you better you best
be up at midnight trying to get an appointment with the counselor, right,
because I was now I was like ready to parent. Yeah, right,
you know, which is something we hate doing. Hate it. I don't
like to spoil her evening. But she wasn't a great She was like,
Okay, I'm gonna do it. Yeah. So she like set an alarm
on her phone and then at midnight she went back on. First thing in
the morning, I wake up to a text from her. She's like,
I got I got one. Oh. Actually she texted me after midnight and
was like I got I got one and it's for later today. Great.
So like two o'clock that afternoon. Nice, So she went to the she
went in with the counselor, was over zoom zoom meeting. Great session with
the counselor. She was like high. As she got home, she was
like, uh, yeah, she sleeps at her boyfriend's house. Case you
guys were putting the pieces together. Let's see, that's what she needed to
be nineteen. Yeah, but she needed that, like all she needed was
something just somebody fucking throw her a bone, like. So the counselor was
really nice, yeah, and was like, I love that you're doing sociology.
I'll be told her. Here's the thing. I already had a session
with a counselor to figure out how to do psychology, but it was like
a lot of classes and I got kind of overwhelmed. And she was like,
oh, this sociology is going to be better. So she still has
to take a lot of classes, even actually one more than she would have
to take for psychology, but the good news is that the classes are like
much more fun. With psychology, she was going to have to take two
chemistry classes, a chemistry class as a prerequisite for the chemistry class that she
has to take, and then another probably three chemistry classes like a high level
of biology class and physics, and she didn't want to take any of those.
So this time she has to take sociology, which sounds kind of fun,
like a couple different sociology classes. Statistics she doesn't have to. So
all of these ap classes that we thought kind of were a waste, but
she took almost all of them. Transfer over the credits so that's great.
That's the reason she can do the program in one year because you have to
have like thirty credits of like general education, and she has like twenty nine
right now. Wow. And then she has to do this thing that's an
honors program so that she can apply to UCLA. So the whole way it
works is she can It's I explain this before, but I'll just reiterate.
You can get guaranteed admission to a certain school, and so she's going to
pick UCSB. They don't they won't do Berkeley or UCLA, but the other
ones you can guarantee admission as long as you hit these requirements. You have
to keep a certain GPA, and you have to take whatever classes they say
are the classes for their major. Right, So like for UCSB sociology,
there's these certain amount of classes that you have to take. Okay, well,
a bunch of them are already covered by her AP classes and then now
and so the rest of them she has to take with the intention of going
to UCSB. But if she takes them in honors classes, she's a she's
like has a good chance of getting into UCLA. Wow. So she came
home feeling like this is totally doable. I can get this done and I'm
gonna you know, and if I get into UCLA. She was like,
I'll go to UCLA, and if not, I'll still get to go to
a school that I really wanted to go to. Wow next year. Wow,
that's great. So she found out the UCSB not on the wait list
thing after she'd already had this meeting. So she's feeling better. Yes,
she's not crying every day. She's not. I will not go as far
as to say that she's happy about it. She's not. But over like
the past couple weeks, she's running too a few more people from like different
friend groups. Really a friend of hers who was a really good friend from
middle school who's also going to the same community college she's going too. So
that's great. She's feeling like there's a few people she's not feeling as like
devastated, right right, right, you know, she's feeling like, this
is not ideal. I would have liked to have been going to college this
year like everybody else I know. But if I have to do it this
way, I'm glad I figured out that I don't want that major. And
I'm glad I figured out like I'm just you know, I'm just gonna get
it done. Yeah, put my head down right to her and do this
thing. Good for her, good for her. And she just I think
she needed somebody just like sit down and guide her, you know, just
to give her a plan. And she just kept saying that the counselor was
really nice. Yeah that's good. She was like a mom. She had
a bunch of kids at her house, and she kept saying like, I'm
sorry, like my kids are being crazy right now. But uh, you
know, Albie was like, you're fine. She was like because during COVID
she had one teacher who didn't teach at all. She didn't do anything.
She just put all the assignments online and she didn't do any video. She
didn't do any zooms with the kids because she was like, sorry, I
have kids, it's ridiculous. I know. Wow. Well I'm so happy
for her. Yeah, so happy. Um, all right, what else
is going on? What's going on with your little kidlets? So Sunny's not
sleeping, Sunny is uh yes, he's just his he's upside down, like
he's going to bed very yeah number one, yeah, right, he just
goes in his room and he's up all night and he gets up. Sometimes
he gets up at like he's been getting up like four in the morning and
he goes for a walk around the neighborhood at four in the morning. Yeah,
like a picture of the sun coming up the other day for me,
I was like really, and he's like, yeah, I just I want
to get out and move around. So he's going for walks. Is he
hanging out with any friends? Oh yeah, Oh yeah, it's a magic
mountain. Oh he did. Yeah, he's been. And then he's got
a bunch of friends that are still in town. Like nobody's really going anywhere,
and you know, he's just kind of doing his things. He wants
to work, so I don't know, he's looking for something around town.
And then Natalia is doing her Spanish classes, which I like call her at
night and I say, okay, So she spent the night in Malibu at
her dad's and I said, okay, so don't so you have everything you
need for your Spanish class. Oh I forgot about my Spanish class. Like
seriously, yeah, Like on Sunday night you have at Monday morning, you're
at your dad's. Did you bring your laptop? Like? Luckily she has
she can do what she had a laptop, but she completely forgets about it.
Yeah that's not good. Yeah. And then Sonny's doing his driving lessons
around the neighborhood. Okay, he's been doing his are you doing cars direct
or whatever? It's this guy that's been he has been training, like teaching
kids in our neighborhood for twenty eight years. Oh wow, okay, yeah,
Like hell, pass houses with Sonny and go those kids that live they
used to live in that house. They're now adults with children your age practically.
Yeah, he's like from a place. He's certified. Yeah, he's
certified. He's like he's got his ponytail. He's like a total hippie dippie
dude. And Sonny was like, at first he thought he was going to
feel like awkward being in the car alone with the guy, Like what do
we talk about? So Sonny, He's like, I wore my pink Floyd
shirt because I knew because he heard from his other friends that he's really into
like seventies rock, So we wore his pink Floyd shirt so that I t
him up. And then he just talks like what do you think of the
Black album? You know? Right, listening like the cream did you like
cream grow? You know? And then the guy just talks, so he's
like so there's no awkward silence, but um, but yeah, he's been
doing And then I've been driving with him, like I was telling you in
the other show, which has been fun, and you don't get nervous.
No, No, he's doing good. He's doing really good. He'll hop
on the freeway and then get off the freeway and it's late, it's like
eleven o'clock at night. There's nobody around right in our area. It's like
sleepy, everything's closed. But he's very when they get on the freeway.
Yeah, and they're learning. Yeah. I was so scared for lbb first
freeway drive. I was like, oh, this is gonna be just shocking
to her system when you pull onto the freeway and there's just cars coming from
everywhere, I know, But she was fine. Yeah, Yeah, he's
he's got the hang of it. And the other thing too, though,
is my Tesla's got that steering wheel that's like, you know, it's it's
that like a video game. But but he's got the hang of it,
and he's a very cautious. Sonny is a very cautious driver. Right.
Yeah, so let's take another quick break, talk about and talk about something.
Talk about Loomi Lab micro dose. Everybody, everybody loves Loomi Lab.
I'm telling you, I tried it the other night. I loved it.
And now I took it with me to the condo and it really gave me.
I took half of one at like just to try it, I don't
know, in the in the after late afternoon, and like I felt like
a calm it really, it really, I loved it. It took a
lot of anxiety away. This is why I've been hearing from people, you
know that don't want to get a full on high, right and that's not
what they're looking for. Micro Dosing is getting so huge right now. Oh
yeah, microdocing, THHC. It's been around for a long time, but
I think it's really getting into the mainstream right now because people are realizing the
benefits of it, you know, sleep, creativity, helping with anxiety.
People take it after the gym, after the gym. Yeah, there's so
many uses for it. And what's really great about microdose is that you can
take a small dose. You can take like baby steps, you know,
if you don't know how THC is going to hit you and you're not you
don't want to get super high. You can do this. But they also
have this company also has regular THC gummies. You. Yeah, that's the
one that I've been eating every now and then, just just to relax at
home after a long day. It's just it's just good. I like it.
Yeah, just you know, be lazy on the couch and kind of
helps me getting that sleepy mindset and yeah, just watch the Bear or something,
and yeah, myself, Yeah, John loves it. He swears by
it, and he's been taking it from yeah, and he's been trying like
a lot of different things. And he was like, I don't think I
would have thought because years ago he had some bad experiences with like THC in
the old days, you know. And he was like, no, I
don't like it. It makes me like anxious, right, But the microdosing
has been really working for him. Yes, And it's it's nationwide, which
is great. Micros is an available nationwide. To learn more about microdosing TC,
go to microdose dot com use the code FCOL and you're gonna get thirty
percent off your first order and free shipping. Okay, so links can be
found in our show description, but again that's microdose dot com and the code
is fcol so give it a choy. I yeah, I love it.
Yeah, speaking of the Bear, I watched it, I too, se
No, I've only I haven't even watched season one yet. Oh so I
wouldn't. One night when we were hearing you guys were telling me about it.
I went home that night, I turned it on. I turned it
off with them like ten minutes. I couldn't. It was two that first
episode. It was so hectic, and I was like, I can't be
watching this one. I'm trying to fall asleep, like it was just like
it was very manic. So then I forgot about it. Now everybody's talking
about it and watching season two, so now I went back to it.
Now I'm like season I mean, episode like four or five in the first
season, and I love it. It's so good. It is good.
I was gonna say, if you couldn't handle the hectic, then it wouldn't
be a show for you. It's kind of now that I know, Yeah,
I have to be like, yeah, it's a whole mood. Yeah
it is. It is. It's a vibe it's a vibe. Yeah.
And do you see what I mean about Jeremy what's his name, Jeremy?
Oh is it the singer, I mean, the main guy, Yeah,
Jeremy Alan White. Oh yeah, he's cute, Jeremy Allen White hot.
Yeah. He kind of religned to me of like a Sean Penn. That's
what Amy said. Yeah, well, he reminds me a little bit of
an ex boyfriend that I had and who I thought was really cute. Just
those big eyes and that hair. Yeah, I love that crazy kind of
hair. And then it's like he just has like little kind of his mouth
is kind of little, but like so which makes his eyes look even bigger.
I don't know, it's like a whole I love the look. And
you cannot be hungry watching that show, because then you're gonna then you're gonna
want to eat. I wish I could get like a Chicago beef sandwich right
now, Like, how great does that sound? Where can we get that?
Can't I get that anywhere? I have like the best Italian deli down
the street from my house, and they do the best Chicago. I'd never
even had one, But then I watched the band. I was like Okay,
we're time to give this a try. And I just, oh my
god, it's so bad for you, and I just like, I can't
move for an hour after I eat it. But man, if it isn't
just the best, so good, so good. So when I go to
Chicago, that's what they get me, the Chicago beef sandwiches. They're so
good. My nephew had a baby. Oh wow, Nicholas his first baby.
Oh yeah, my dad is getting top billing and all these kids.
Now, he would be so happy if he was still alive. But like,
so, Sonny's middle name is Richard. My dad Anthony, my nephew,
had his first daughter named her Riley Ritchie Paradise. Oh that'ute so cute.

middle name. Both of them got them that Anthony got Richard Annoir, which

weekend, Nick had a baby. His name is Enzo Richard Paradise. My
dad. I mean, why does my dad get how do you get so
lucky, and then Tally's pissed because she doesn't have any family member middle name,
which I should have thought about it better, but I didn't. I
didn't think about it. What's her middle name? Uh Ava, I don't
know where he came from. I was so tired trying to come up with
four names. Yeah, it was a lot. So it was just like,
I don't know what Sundy's again. I know it's Richard, I know,
I know, so um yeah, but it was so Wendy. There's
this whole thing going on because uh, Andrea, Nick's wife. It's their
only child. Okay, so the grandparents, Wendy's friends with Rose and Andy,
they're they're great. But now Wendy's like, you know, she's she's
very good with infants, very it's like her jam and Nick is all about
it, like mom, please come over. So Wendy's like love, but
it's a little now she's feeling a little like, um, you know,
because she doesn't want to step on the in law's toes, and there's a
little like she can like maybe sometimes she's there too much that she wants to
leave, so if they show up, she leaves. But then Nicks like,
come back, you know, we need you know, because she's been
spending the night and now helping them. Can you imagine having parents fighting over
