I'm very, very tired. I was doing 52 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:43,680 my other podcast with Cecily and something came up about like something very or America 53 00:04:43,879 --> 00:04:46,720 or something, and I was doing doctor Bruce. But then I couldn't stop 54 00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:49,279 down and explain to her because it was our private joke, right, so 55 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:54,040 I just had to pretended.

He has like he has 58 00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:09,519 like a huge file of papers, every trail of papers I brought in this 59 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,240 article, got in this article. He hasn't heard of email. Now. 60 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,120 He's old school. Just he'll just drop by, Yeah, yeah, I 61 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:25,120 brought you this paper, just read it. Uh. He is doing well. 62 00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,000 He's working all the time. That's why he's verver retired. He's still 63 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,480 living with his ex wife Lois. Yeah, she's married, I think, 64 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,279 but they get a lot like I hear in the background I'm telling it. 65 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:41,800 I said, I, Yeah, she's remarried and he's still in the house. 66 00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:48,639 Yes, that's you know, talk about nesting. They exactly exactly. 67 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,160 But he's doing good. I had to reach out to him because of this 68 00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,560 issue with Sonny's overactive bladder is not getting better and the kid is suffering, 69 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,800 like he can't sleep, it's he can't sit still. He's eating standing up, 70 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,560 he's doing his podcast standing up. This is terrible. It's terrible. 71 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,839 It's terrible. And so I took him to the urologist a few months ago 72 00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:18,959 and they just never So I called Bruce and I was like, what you 73 00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,519 know, Bruce, you're smart. What what should I do? And so 74 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,839 you had put him on this medicine. He's been on medication, but it 75 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:30,160 didn't work. No, and so what the doctors recommend is up up the 76 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,160 medication. So I asked about a lot of the listeners told me about physical 77 00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:39,319 therapy. I asked about that. So, but this just shouldn't be happening. 78 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,279 And no, I know, no, No, he shouldn't need physical 79 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,920 therapy. This doesn't This sounds like something's wrong. So I don't know, 80 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:51,000 but The weird thing is the very first time I took him the urgent carriage 81 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,920 put him on antibiotics and it went away for months, but then it came 82 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240 back. So then when it came back, they were like, no, 83 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,040 we're not going to give him antibiotics. He she goes to a urologist, 84 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,879 and that's now here we are, okay. But but can I just say, 85 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:12,279 listen, I'm not no, you're not. I didn't go I didn't 86 00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:15,560 finish Did I tell you I didn't finish medical school? Right? But then 87 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,319 I've been practicing medicine for a while without a license. It's going fine, 88 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:24,720 and practicing I'm not. I don't know everything. I know a little bit. 89 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,360 I know a little bit about a little bit. What I do know 90 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,480 is that when I remember when I was having the uties all the time, 91 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,040 and my freakin' doctor was like, I'm not gonna you need to go to 92 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:41,160 the urologist, and I didn't because I was like, no, I just 93 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:46,279 need a different antibiotic, because I'd gone on the antibiotic and it hadn't solved 94 00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,160 the problem, and then I'd gone on a different antibiot. Long story short, 95 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,480 I really just needed a longer run with a different antibiotic, and then 96 00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:57,920 it it was it was a UTI And at one point she said there wasn't 97 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,000 coming up positive in the urine, but then later when they had said it, 98 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,160 it ended up I did have. So I'm just saying, like something 99 00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:18,360 that's true, but it's not common for a teenage boy to get UTI's so 100 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,759 so. But the point is is we've already gone down this road with this 101 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,720 urologist. We went back a couple of weeks for a follow up, blah 102 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:26,560 blah blah. So now I'm turning into Shirley McLean and I'm starting to call 103 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,360 him every day and going, what the fuck it's not working? Sun, 104 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,240 come on now again again, like we need to figure out what the issue 105 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,799 is. So then he orders this okay, And then I told him about 106 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,679 the antibiotic and he goes yeah, he goes, okay, I'm going to 107 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:46,240 order a quest lab for him to go and get. I need to get 108 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,840 a specimen so I can really look into it. So that was on Friday. 109 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,759 So here we are, clock's ticking. We got one week left until 110 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,840 we leave to go on a plane to Chicago, and Sonny can't sit for 111 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,919 long time, you know, And I don't want him traveling with this problem. 112 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,799 I mean, this's got to stop. It's got to stop. So 113 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:09,279 that's why I called Bruce, and Bruce is like, well, you know, 114 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,039 if I were you, I would get why this doctor hasn't prescribed an 115 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,240 MRI. That's what he should have to start ruling out in case something else 116 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,919 is going on. You know, he needs an MRI. And Bruce said, 117 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,679 I if this doctor doesn't prescribe an MRI, I will, And I 118 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,639 was like, good, that's what I wanted to hear. So it's this 119 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,720 is a fluid situation, waiting for the doctor to call me back with his 120 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,159 results from the quest lab so I can yell at him again and tell him 121 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,600 like, are you going to get him an MRI or do I have to 122 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,919 do it? Somebody's gonna have to And I'm going to get a second opinion 123 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:50,279 as well. And he's going to his check up tomorrow for the PEDIA, 124 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,799 the pediatrician checkup. But you know, I call like Children's Hospital of la 125 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,759 in you know, Pacadya Urology or whatever, and I give them all the 126 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,279 information and then they're like, Okay, when when's the next available February twenty 127 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,039 twenty four Oh my god. Click, that's not going to work. So 128 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:16,360 I don't know if this is a local problem, like a Los Angeles problem, 129 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,120 or if this is all over the country. But these specialists, it's 130 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:22,279 like, it's ridiculous. I have the same thing. I needed something for 131 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Xander, and I was like, oh, this was like last month, 132 00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:30,159 and They're like, okay, how's January. Yeah, oh it's October right, 133 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,440 Like no, right, so, and then I'm wondering if his pediatrician 134 00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:41,519 can you know, prescribe somewhere around our I don't know, so hopefully that 135 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,399 so I'm working on like four different angles right now as we speak, because 136 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:48,519 this has got to get solved. This is ridiculous. It's been going on 137 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,320 too long. Kids suffering. You shouldn't have to suffer. That's that's awful, 138 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:56,399 right, it's awful to be suffering with that. Yes, yeah, 139 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,519 we all know. I mean I feel like I'm starting to had a block 140 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360 construction just hearing about it. I feel like it could be all the time. 141 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,519 I mean, he makes me anxious, Like I'm talking to him last 142 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,320 night. He's telling me all about football. You know, the football stuff 143 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,279 goes in one ear and out the other. But you know, He's standing 144 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,480 up and like, I feel like I got to go to the bathroom. 145 00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:18,360 Now. Natalia has been like all up on football because she's now got a 146 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,480 boyfriend who's telling her everything about the San Francisco forty nine ers. So Sonny's 147 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,879 like quizzing her and she knows her stuff, which is really cute. And 148 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,639 he had a great weekend with Natalia, which was really nice. What'd you 149 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:37,039 guys do? We what did we do? We would frott sat We went 150 00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:41,559 and got Manny Petty and we talked a lot about college and you know what 151 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:45,240 her plans are. And then so all her apps are in now right, 152 00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:50,879 Yes, she's done. Wow. Yeah, so hopefully we should be knowing 153 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,879 pretty soon. You know, same with Sonny. Did she apply early decision 154 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,200 anywhere or just early action early decision? Oh? To what? Which place 155 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,200 did she pay? I think it was TCU? Oh or was it Miami? 156 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,480 Yeah? It was TCU. She was going back and forth, but 157 00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:11,200 then she just did that. But then she has to go to TCU, 158 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,120 Yes, which is fine. She would love to go to TCU, oh 159 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,960 she would. Yeah. I thought Miami was her first choice or that the 160 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,600 secure for it is her very first choice. But she think she thinks she 161 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:28,879 has a better Her counselor said she had a better chance of getting into TCU. 162 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,720 She was going back and forth, but yeah, but if she doesn't 163 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,039 get into TCU, she's got another you know, she wants to do community 164 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,559 college and then got it okay, but Miami's harder to get into. Yeah, 165 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,279 got her okay.

Yes, exactly. It's heartbreaking. 249 00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:08,000 It's heartbreaking.

And she's like really, 251 00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:17,640 She's like, that's so sad. I could I could, Like I'm 252 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,839 feeling emotional right now because Elbe just turned nineteen, and although she's home and 253 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,839 I'll tell you a little bit about her college journey, there's just something. 254 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,680 It's not even the leaving for school, which sucks, and if LB was 255 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,880 gone right now, it would be even worse. But it's just they're just 256 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,839 growing up, like they're just their own people, and I don't like it. 257 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:41,839 Yeah, I know, I don't like sad. Why do you think 258 00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:45,119 I made her lunch for so long? Because I want to think of her 259 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,680 as still like my baby. I know, I love it when i'm you 260 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,759 know, I can only be a certain amount of days at the house with 261 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,559 them, So like this morning I was at the house with that, I 262 00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:59,079 get I want to make her breakfast, like even though she does it on 263 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,880 her own. I was like, I'll make it for you, like absolutely, 264 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,759 I loved I used to remember like when they were younger, I mean 265 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,640 I would every morning was like fun with for me because that was my time 266 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,559 to be with them and make them the breakfast, drive them to school. 267 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,720 You know, it was just us and me and the two of them for 268 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,720 years, you know. But now that they're teenagers and now I'm not there 269 00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:23,480 all the time, they're doing it on their own. They're getting to school 270 00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:27,880 on their own there you know, Sonny's driving. It's like it's it's sad. 271 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,880 So when I'm at the house, I'm like, I'm making your breakfast, 272 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,519 lunch, and dinner, like I'm tac dancing. What else do you 273 00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:41,880 guys need? I know, I know, I I can't believe. I 274 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,359 mean, I can believe because it's me, but I cannot believe how much 275 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,400 complaining I did and still do. Don't get me wrong, I complaining is 276 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,720 just part of my like, right, what gives me energy. And it 277 00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:59,359 was really really hard and I'm not taking that away with having a baby, 278 00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:03,680 but it is amazing how I would have made fun of people that are like, 279 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,319 it goes so fast, but it really goes fast. You see, 280 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,880 Kaylin, it goes fast. It goes my ass for you right now, 281 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,079 it goes really swew. It's that thing where they that we always say that 282 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,720 people would say to us, it's like the days are long, but the 283 00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:22,680 years are short. But it is so true. It's crazy. It's like 284 00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:29,759 that these kids, you know, And no shade to anybody that doesn't have 285 00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,240 kids, because like, if I didn't have kids, then I wouldn't know. 286 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,440 I wouldn't even know what I'm missing, you know, I mean, 287 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,160 you know what I mean, or I'd be a great freaking aunt. Right, 288 00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:44,759 I'm not a great aunt for so long, right, I'm a shitty 289 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,240 ant. You are knowing that because I have my own kids. It's like, 290 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,960 you know, they come there there. If I was only an aunt, 291 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:56,720 i'd be awesome at it because I care, you know, But I'm 292 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,000 not a great ant because you know. But I'm just saying it's just I 293 00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:03,480 know, and I know I over a parent and probably have for years, 294 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,680 but because I just like having kids. It just gave my life so much, 295 00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:12,680 so much meaning, right, you know, like purpose, sense of 296 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:18,720 purpose. It makes less pressure on your career too, when you're like, 297 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,519 oh, but I have this thing that I have to do every day. 298 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,640 And as much as it was so hard when they were young, I know, 299 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,240 I mean, it's much better looking back at the pictures because I'm like, 300 00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:33,839 I don't have to do anything when I'm looking at the pictures. Yeah, 301 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,000 nobody's whining or crying or like meaning wanting to be entertained twenty four to 302 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,200 seven. You know, they're just cute. Yeah in the pictures. Yeah, 303 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:45,680 yeah, you know what I'm kind of it's crazy because I'm surrounded by 304 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,400 grandmothers now, because Olga is a grandma and Wendy is a grandma, and 305 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,920 I'm like, I'm starting to think like, oh my god, that's gonna 306 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,440 be kind of fun. I know too. I mean like slow down, 307 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:00,359 not anytime soon, right, but yeah, that's gonna be fun. I 308 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,680 swear to God. Lynette I was having the same thought. I was like, 309 00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:07,400 God, only a few short years ago, I would have been like, 310 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,160 oh God, I need a long break between kids and grandkids. But 311 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,920 now I'm like, hold on exactly, not crazy fun, I know, 312 00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:19,440 I know, because then you can take the baby and like like Wendy does, 313 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,119 like she's there, you know, they let them sleep, Like, 314 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,559 I'll stay up. What do I don't have to get up in the morning. 315 00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:27,319 You guys do the morning, boring time. I'll stay up with the 316 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,119 baby all night, right, and then let me sleep during the day, 317 00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:34,119 right, and you guys can sleep at night, and then everybody's refreshed, 318 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:37,920 right, right. It would work out. It would be nice if I 319 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,799 had that easy to say though, when your kids are seventeen, right, 320 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,559 I know, right, because we're like hopefully we have a few years, 321 00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:45,400 yes, but yeah, but then I'm like, well, don't wait too 322 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,480 long, right, because I don't want to be old, right, And 323 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,839 oh okay, I got something to talk about. Oh all right, since 324 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:59,079 we're talking about young girls having kids. Okay, because I was telling the 325 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,200 tally about this doc menory I watched on Amazon and it's called it was called 326 00:24:03,519 --> 00:24:10,240 Buried with Love, and it was like it was like an hour worth of 327 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,240 doc. But there was the one it says like season one, season two. 328 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,279 I think season one is remember the dad that killed the wife. I 329 00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:22,200 think she was pregnant in like Arizona and then the two kids and buried him 330 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,319 put them in the oil tanks. Oh that was Chris Watts. Chris Watts 331 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:34,440 and oh she was pregnant kids. Yes, okay, so not that one. 332 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,079 There's I think there's only two. No, I don't want to talk 333 00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:41,720 about that. That's been we've talked about. Yeah, now there's it said 334 00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:45,359 like season one is Chris Watts or I could be flip flopping or something, 335 00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:52,880 but one of them. There's an episode of a cheerleader teenager. Her name 336 00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:59,880 was like rich Kyle richards because I wrote not Kyle, but no, but 337 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,319 I remember the last name is Richardson, like Riley or Kim something. Richardson 338 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,160 doesn't only matter. She's a teenager from the Midwest. So I'm just watching 339 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,519 it and she gets pregnant and then she's she's in her senior year.

In her senior year, she's got a boyfriend. She suspects 342 00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:29,720 she's pregnant, so she tells her mom she wants to go to the doctor 343 00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:32,599 and get put on the pill. She goes and gets and then when she 344 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,480 goes to the doctor, they're like, you're pregnant, and she was like 345 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,400 absolutely, nobody can find out. She was very she had eating disorders. 346 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,200 She was and they're interviewing the parents, the mom and the dad, and 347 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:52,160 as soon as they say eating disorder, I'm like, something, mom, 348 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,799 something's going on. This girl's name Melissa. I don't think it's Melissa, 349 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,720 okay, but the last name is Richardson. Okay, anyway, Uh, 350 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:07,440 Cayln gets to googling. Yeah, google me right.

I think I uh does sound 353 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,240 familiar. Yes, I know this story. I know this story. It 354 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:29,519 was there was an episode of I want to say Invisible choir. Oh, 355 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,799 I did a very early episode about this. Yes, I know exactly what 356 00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:36,960 you're talking about. This is crazy. So I'm watching this episode and they're 357 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,319 reporting on the story. So she gets pregnant, she doesn't want anybody to 358 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,119 know, and then she gives birth in the bathroom and then she buries the 359 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,720 baby in the backyard. And then the doctor's like, what you were pregnant? 360 00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:52,759 What happened? And she was like, well, I gave it was 361 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,039 a still birth, and he was like, well, what'd you do with 362 00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:57,480 the baby? And she's like buried in the backyard and start crying, and 363 00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:00,519 then of course the doctor's got a report to the police, right, and 364 00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:06,480 so she gets arrested and gets and then they show her in the in the 365 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:10,599 in the interrogation room and she's, you know, she's got like a baby 366 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,960 voice, and she's crying and she's scared and her parents don't know what's going 367 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,960 on, but her parents are outside, and we need to tell the parents 368 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,640 what's happening. And then, you know, then the parents come in and 369 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,559 the mom like gives her like a half hug, sits down. The dad 370 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,759 is just like, why didn't you tell us? You could have come to 371 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,160 us. This is not the way, and she's like, I didn't think 372 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,519 I could come to anybody. And then she's kept going like her mom was 373 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:37,319 quiet, wasn't saying anything. And then she was like, Mommy, you 374 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,720 still love me, right, you still love me right? And she's like 375 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:42,799 crying holding her mom's hand, and like one of the first fucking things out 376 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:45,799 of the mom's mouth is you know this is gonna be all over the news 377 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:51,200 and your boyfriend's gonna break up with you, okay? Right then and there, 378 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,640 I'm like, this mom is a fucking problem, and why isn't this 379 00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:57,920 episode addressing the fact that this mom? So then I start doing a deep 380 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,680 dive and it's like this mom. The text messages between her and her daughter, 381 00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:08,519 remember this was like you know, she's like, Mommy, I'm trying 382 00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:11,000 to I'm trying to lose weight, and she's like, you can do it. 383 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,799 You can shed those five more pounds, like she's creating an eating disorder 384 00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:18,920 in her daughter, right and then her and then her daughter felt like she 385 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,119 could not tell her mom that she was pregnant, and then as soon as 386 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,440 she gave birth, she got on that treadmill and she's telling her mom like 387 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,160 I had a belly, but look now it's like she's showing her like pictures 388 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,119 and her mom is just like feeding into it, encouraging it, and it's 389 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,480 like, what the fuck with this episode? Like they're reporting, it's like 390 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:40,960 they should be talking about this mother, Like why isn't anybody pointing out to 391 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,880 the fact that this mom created this, like you know, have she's but 392 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,960 she's acting like she had nothing to do with it, you know. And 393 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,359 it's like no, no. Then I find some TikToker or somebody finally on 394 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,400 YouTube somewhere. It's like, let's go through the text messages between the mom 395 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,039 and this girl, and I'm like, thank you. At least somebody. 396 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,559 I think forty eight Hours did a story on them. I don't think, 397 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,000 and they interviewed the mom. I don't think they point their fingers at the 398 00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:14,160 mom, but it's like it's glaring that this mother was part of the problem. 399 00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:18,839 Yeah, this early if you go to the all the way back in 400 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,680 Visible Choir, it's like one of the first like ten episodes. Did they 401 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,359 really good episode? Yes, they talked, they did the text messages. 402 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:30,599 Yeah, yeah, Like this this episode, I'm like, they're not They're 403 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200 interviewing the mom. So they're like, you know, usually when they interview 404 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,839 the parents, they don't point the finger or you know whatever, right, 405 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:42,039 but like they don't even ask her no, no, they don't even address 406 00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:45,359 it. They don't And I had to like go like, okay, hold 407 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,720 on. So then I was watching more of the interrogation and how she just 408 00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:52,720 sat there and she was just like, your life's rue and you're not going 409 00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:56,319 to college. You're gonna go to Oh the other thing right out of her 410 00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:57,640 mouth was you can go to go to jail. You're gonna go to jail. 411 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,400 No, mommy, are you telling me this? She's scared. This 412 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,400 girl scared out of her mind and what she did was absolutely, of course 413 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:08,599 wrong, and I think she knew this, but still, like the mom 414 00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:12,359 like is like that's the first thing I it was like, what the fuck 415 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,400 is wrong with this mom? And then when you dig deeper, you're like, 416 00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:19,319 oh, okay, so she's part of the problem these text messages and 417 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:25,079 shit crazy. Yeah. Yeah. What I take out of that is like, 418 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,160 I'm doing good as a parent, right, thanks for going fine? 419 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,799 Exactly? You find do you find that? Like you probably I don't think 420 00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:41,720 you do, but I feel sometimes like I am constantly measured, like going 421 00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:45,759 like okay, how am I doing? Because I'm dealing with some sort of 422 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:48,319 big stuff with my kids, right and I'm always like okay, like with 423 00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,799 the call, like am I am I doing too much? Am I doing 424 00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:53,720 too little? Am I standing back too much? Am I wife? Am 425 00:30:53,759 --> 00:30:59,599 I do I need to support more? Or supporting not making her able to 426 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,519 handle? You know what I mean? And it's like a constant dance of 427 00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:06,559 like I don't want later for her to be like when I needed my mom, 428 00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:08,400 she wasn't there for me, you know. But I also don't want 429 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,119 her to be like my mom didn't let me handle any situations myself, like 430 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,519 she crippled me, you know. Yeah. Yeah, it's so hard to 431 00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:18,960 find that balance, it is. Yeah, So how is she doing? 432 00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:26,559 Do you want to? Uh? She okay? So I don't. I 433 00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:29,799 don't even know if I've kept you totally up to date. So she was 434 00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:33,960 going to community college. She's doing a program. There's so there's there's a 435 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,119 program called the TAG program, which is where you can pick a UC. 436 00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:44,200 It's all for UC where you can choose a UC. They don't all offer 437 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:51,880 it, but Santa Barbara Irvine Davis, and a couple other ones. You 438 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:59,079 can choose one and you're guaranteed admission if you cover these certain your major requirements 439 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:06,039 and your general ed requirements. Okay, because LB had all these uh you 440 00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:09,359 know, AP classes, and she'd already taken it's called dual enrollment. She'd 441 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,559 she'd take it a Pierce English one on one oh one o two already in 442 00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:15,559 her senior year. You know, as we know, she was a total 443 00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:22,440 go getter. Yeah, not a no getter like me. She did all 444 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,839 this stuff and yet didn't get into the schools that she wanted. So this 445 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,240 program guarantee if you have a certain amount of so she was going to be 446 00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:37,119 able she is able to tag the school that Santa Barbara for just going for 447 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,839 one year to community college. But there's also a program called TAP TAP, 448 00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:50,000 which stands for something like Transfer Admission Preferred. I don't, I don't, 449 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:52,880 I don't remember. I'd have to look at it. But anyway, and 450 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,920 it's for UCLA, and it's a special program that you take where you do 451 00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:00,799 the classes that you need for your major and for your general requirements, but 452 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,200 you take them as honors classes. You take five honors classes and then you 453 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,519 are automatically preferred admission for UCLA. It's not guaranteed, and you can have 454 00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:16,880 a second pick a second major when you apply to UCLA that they will consider 455 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,799 equally, so you like doubles your chance to get into UCLA. So she's 456 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,680 this is what she's been doing. She has met with several counselors because it 457 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:32,000 was so devastating coming out of yeah last year that or early this year that 458 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,319 she met with one, two, three, She's met with four counselors. 459 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:42,960 So she did what's called an ed ed plan right so that she knew exactly 460 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,880 what she was taking, what she's signing up for for winter classes, for 461 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,480 spring, everything's all set. She took an honors class in the summer music 462 00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:59,839 appreciation. Then she took Sociology one and Sociology two which is in relow anthropology 463 00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:05,880 and history, all honors. Okay. So the other day she had a 464 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,480 meeting with the counselor just to answer a few of her questions so that she 465 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:15,760 can send her applications. She still has to do these four essays for the 466 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,400 UC's, which I think I was telling you she's so not wanting to do. 467 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,920 It's a lot very triggering because she feels like I just went through this 468 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:29,360 and got so disappointed, and she really wants to go to UCLA and she 469 00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:34,679 has a good chance. So she meets with this counselor. I am trying 470 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,719 to be a little bit hands off. I'm like, because she's getting very 471 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,599 shut down with me. She's like, doesn't want to talk about college or 472 00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:45,000 the process or applications. I got it, I got it. I got 473 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,519 it a guy. But I'm like, Okay, but do you got it? 474 00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:51,599 Because you have to write these essays and they need to be good, 475 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,679 and you have to rewrite them because the ones she wrote last year are not 476 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,559 going to show what she was doing this year. Okay, I got it. 477 00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:04,239 Okay, but you should meet with a counselor. So she doesn't get 478 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,840 an appointment with the counselor until, like, I don't know what it was, 479 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,400 a couple of days before, a couple of days ago. So I'm 480 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,519 like, she doesn't want to talk to mir or. So John and I 481 00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:17,119 decide we're going to go to the gym during the time that she has her 482 00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:22,000 counselor appointment. John says, Okay, you know what questions do you want 483 00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:25,559 to ask? You know, and she's like aha, Like and I told 484 00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:29,800 John, she gave us kind of like fish on a deck, you know, 485 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,039 just kind of like dead eyes, like don't like like a night right, 486 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,000 right, Like Okay, so we go to the gym, I start 487 00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:42,159 getting I get a text from her while we're at the gym. Mom My 488 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,280 last counselor fucked me. She's like, none of the classes that I was 489 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,280 in were honors classes. What. Yeah? So she's like, I don't 490 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,239 qualify for the TAP program and she's like I'm so upset right now. I 491 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,679 don't even know what to do. And I was like, is she punk? 492 00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:00,400 Is she punking me? You know? Oh my god. No. 493 00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:07,559 It turns out that she went through with the last the counselor before this one, 494 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,360 all the classes, and she the counselor, helped her choose Okay, 495 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,239 here these classes are honors classes, so she signed up for them. But 496 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,639 this new counselor was like, yeah, but the class you signed up for 497 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,840 wasn't the honors version of it. You just signed up for the class and 498 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,480 she's like yeah, because I was told it's an honors class. Like, 499 00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:32,079 here's the classes you should sign up for, and she's like no, but 500 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:37,559 it's a different section, you have to it's a whole different, like Jesus 501 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,079 part of the website just for honors only, and always like, well, 502 00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,920 nobody told me that. And then the counselor goes, well, it's on 503 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,559 the website, and Alway's like, no, it's not. I looked at 504 00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:51,760 the website and she's like, it's on the website. So she's always said 505 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,800 while they're there, she looks at the website. The counselor doesn't. She's 506 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,920 like, oh, it's not on the website. It used to be on 507 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,679 the website. She's like, oh, sorry, apparently this happens to kids. 508 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,840 So she no longer qualifies for this preferred admission to u c l A. 509 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,880 And that's just she's dying. God, I want to cry, I 510 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:19,239 know. But here's the okay news. Okay, there's a I was I 511 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:25,239 almost like, I was like having such bad anxiety. But the good news, 512 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,199 Okay, there is good news some kids. This counselor told her listen, 513 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,480 of all the kids that this would happen to, it's it's good that 514 00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:37,880 it's happening to you. Because she has so many classes. She she although 515 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,840 she didn't take honors, and she doesn't she doesn't qualify for that program. 516 00:37:43,039 --> 00:37:45,760 She still has a very good chance of getting into UCLA. She's like, 517 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:50,639 you have a really good application, write some kick ass essays, and you 518 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:58,000 have. She's she's graduating from community college in one year with two AA degrees 519 00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:00,800 because she's going to have one in sociology and one in behavioral health. And 520 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:05,679 she's like, your application is still really good as a transfer student. It's 521 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,760 just you don't really have honors classes, so you know, and what I 522 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,679 know people might be thinking, well, can't she can't she do some honors 523 00:38:13,679 --> 00:38:16,159 classes in the winter and the spring. The answer is yes, but not 524 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:21,840 enough because some of the classes she was were already going to be honors, 525 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,320 but like there were like three or four that she thought were honors that weren't 526 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,400 honors. So it's like, some of the classes, it's such a dance 527 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,639 you have to do because the classes that she that cover certain things that she 528 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,639 needs you are not offered as an honors class. So she was kind of 529 00:38:38,639 --> 00:38:44,519 taking extra classes that were honors too so that she could cover all her bases. 530 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,639 But now she can't cover those bases because some of the classes she took 531 00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:52,719 her aways. This is insane, but she had enough aps and between that 532 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,119 and the English one on one on one O two that she has, like 533 00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:59,639 you have to have like sixty credits or more to apply, and she already 534 00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:05,119 has beyond that. So we're just we're hopeful. Yeah, but like there 535 00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:08,559 were there were tears, There was like how is this? How does this 536 00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:12,039 keep your eyes? And this is not her fault. What the fuck is 537 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:15,960 up with these counselors, like they're not exactly you can't just rely on I 538 00:39:16,199 --> 00:39:20,519 know, I know, but let's take you know what, Let's talk about 539 00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:25,360 something that is a new We have another new sponsor, and I have to 540 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,719 tell you I can't wait to tell I'm obsessed. It's called One Skin. 541 00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:32,519 Did you try it? I love it. I put it on every day. 542 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:37,440 So they okay, this is a skincare product. But I am very 543 00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:42,119 very picky about what I put on my skin. And I'll tell you why. 544 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,440 Because there are a lot of products, a lot of moisturizers, a 545 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:51,039 lot of like eye serums that make my it irritates my skin and so if 546 00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,719 I put them around my eyes on the fine lines, I will my eyes 547 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,960 will start burning, they get a little bit swollen. So I'm super careful, 548 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,239 but I was like, well, let me try. Let me try 549 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:07,320 this product. My skin drinks it in mine too. It's so nice. 550 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:13,840 It feels visibly silky smooth. Yes, and it did not irritate my skin 551 00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:15,880 at all. I could put it on. I could put it on three 552 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,440 times a day if I want. I know, well, most skincare available 553 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,920 on the market is designed to provide a temporary reduction in visible signs of aging, 554 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:30,079 addressing just the surface symptoms of an underlying decline and skin health is what 555 00:40:30,119 --> 00:40:35,079 they do. They get at the root of the problem. So one skin 556 00:40:35,119 --> 00:40:37,559 gets at the root of the problem that caused Yes, yes, yes so. 557 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:45,639 And you know they combine tissue engineering and data analysis and cutting edge longevity 558 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,760 science to create the world's most effective product to target skin aging.

I've been using it every single day, just like underneath my 561 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,679 makeup or just with no makeup. I just put it on, and I 562 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:05,599 and my neck too, and I love it, and you can you can 563 00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:08,400 tell. And it doesn't give you any irritation. I can. I can 564 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,679 completely see the difference. I've been using it for like since I got it 565 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,440 for at least two weeks, maybe two and a half, maybe even three 566 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,159 weeks. Yeah, and I notice a difference and a reduction in the lines 567 00:41:20,199 --> 00:41:23,880 in my minds. But like I said, normally these serums that do that 568 00:41:24,559 --> 00:41:29,519 irritated my skin, and this was perfect. Yes, yeah, how do 569 00:41:29,559 --> 00:41:32,440 we get it? So?

No, I lived in fear of 612 00:44:54,119 --> 00:44:57,599 the days that I had to shift there. I only worked there because my 613 00:44:58,119 --> 00:45:00,480 mom made me have a It was horrible, right, horrible. I know, 614 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:06,159 work in the freaking grill and like just flipping burgers like it wasn't fun. 615 00:45:06,199 --> 00:45:07,679 I didn't like any of my co workers. They were all assholes. 616 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:13,159 Like I don't remember any camaraderie at work, right, She's like all works 617 00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:15,840 with all everybody. She's best friends with everybody. They're constantly there are a 618 00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,800 lot of people come in when they're off just to hang out, like they 619 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,280 hang out. They're bringing them in coffee. Like a place to be, 620 00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:29,239 man, that's the place to be. Yeah, yeah, it's it's funny 621 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,639 to drive around town. I see like Sonny and Natalia's friends working at like 622 00:45:31,679 --> 00:45:36,480 the grill behind like a chop stop or whatever. They're working by in the 623 00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:38,840 salad bart and it's just like they're there and it's like eight thirty at night, 624 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,199 nobody's there and they're just on their phone, miserable. Yeah, and 625 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,880 uh and Sonny I was like, you know, I was like, you're 626 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,440 gonna get a job anytime soon, and he's, I guess he's gonna. 627 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,800 I don't know, He's gonna apply at a few places around town. But 628 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,599 he also said that Adam mentioned that he might have a job for him. 629 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,840 I don't know what, but maybe something at the warehouse working on podcasts. 630 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,719 I don't know, doing like maybe what Caylin did because he was like putting 631 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,119 together bios for guests. Yeah, that's researching guests, that sort of thing. 632 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:15,320 Yeah, So I don't know that's good because it would be like in 633 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:20,000 his field. Right. I feel like every kid though, should have a 634 00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:22,360 shitty job at jazz. I agree, just so you know how the other 635 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,719 half lives. Oh, you know what I mean, because because it ain't 636 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:30,639 easy. No, I work in fast food, work in these like I 637 00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:34,960 always tell Elb, like sometimes we'll be at the mall because remember when before 638 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,239 she got this job, her dream was to work at pacsun right, I 639 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,599 remember, yeah, And she was all about it, although she wasn't doing 640 00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:45,519 anything about it because she has social anxiety, so she wasn't going to the 641 00:46:45,559 --> 00:46:51,159 mall to like ask for an application. She was just right, you know 642 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,239 she would. But then when she finally went online, this is what happened. 643 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,760 She went online and there they were hiring, but like at a store 644 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,039 in Northridge, which is kind of a drive. You know, she wanted 645 00:47:01,079 --> 00:47:07,360 to do the one to paying them all at Rthridge, right, So she 646 00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:09,719 was like, hmmm, I don't know about plot. I don't know, 647 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:14,760 like maybe I'll wait. But then this other job came up where we were 648 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,000 at this place and seeing how all the employees seemed like they were having fun, 649 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,519 and I was like, this could be like this seems like a cool 650 00:47:21,519 --> 00:47:23,559 place to work. I think I told you that the employees were playing the 651 00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:28,559 like arcade games they were employees were and then one guy flipped the other guy 652 00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:31,079 off and they were like joking around on the louds on the over the intercom, 653 00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:34,440 you know. And I was like, they look like, this looks 654 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,920 like a relaxed place to work. And then she applied and then she got 655 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,159 the interview, and then she got scared because like, well maybe I want 656 00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:43,960 to work at pac Son And I was like, no, you don't remember 657 00:47:44,039 --> 00:47:47,719 that you do not want to fold sweaters. That's that sucks, and do 658 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,280 like I don't know, and then and no tips, no tips, it's 659 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,760 just minimum wage and that's it. And she's so happy that she didn't do 660 00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,559 that, yeh see. And she keep yeah, she keeps getting her friend's 661 00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:02,360 jobs there and they love it. But like, well, your first job 662 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,079 was coffee being coffee Bean? Yeah? Yeah, and did you did you 663 00:48:06,199 --> 00:48:08,679 like it? Was it fun there? It was very dependent on who was 664 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,639 working my shift with me. So at the beginning of the week, I 665 00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:15,000 would look to see my shifts and I'd go, oh, this is going 666 00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:16,320 to be fun. I'm working with him and her and we're gonna have a 667 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,559 great time. And then I did see this shift and be like, oh, 668 00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:22,360 that's gonna be a fucking drag. Because it really was dependent. But 669 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,519 I had a lot of like friends there, a lot of good time with 670 00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:29,960 a lot of the coworkers. But the one thing about Coffee Bean, which 671 00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:32,159 I go into like Starbucks and Coffee Bean these days, is we didn't have 672 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,599 to deal with online orders. Yeah, so I go in these days, 673 00:48:37,599 --> 00:48:39,320 I go, oh, that must suck, Like you don't get any downtime 674 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,679 now, any downtime is just right. And on top of whatever rush you 675 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,599 get in the mornings, you're making like online orders. On top of that, 676 00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:49,719 it must be a lot more hectic than when I worked there. But 677 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,599 do you get did you get tips and stuff? Sure? Yeah, tips, 678 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:57,239 yeah, discounts on food and I just you know, we're supposed to 679 00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,440 like make a drink and then ring it up and do that that. I 680 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,840 wouldn't do that, just just make the drink, right, that's it, 681 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,679 Oh for you? Yeah, yeah for me? Right. But I always 682 00:49:06,679 --> 00:49:09,159 feel like a place like that is going to be too corporate, like there's 683 00:49:09,199 --> 00:49:14,559 too many bosses, like too many managers. Well, my boss was just 684 00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:16,960 super cool, like he was a really nice guy, and I really liked 685 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,639 working with him, and all my shift supervisors above me, they were all 686 00:49:21,679 --> 00:49:24,239 generally very cool too. We would like we would all kind of hang out 687 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,000 and do you know, one of them would have like a baby shower and 688 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,480 we'd all go hang out. We'd do like a Christmas you know, like 689 00:49:30,519 --> 00:49:32,480 what do you call like a white elephant or whatever. So we'd have like 690 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,760 little parties and stuff, and no, it was it was very fun. 691 00:49:36,159 --> 00:49:39,599 And as long as I wasn't working with really boring people I had, I 692 00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:43,480 had a lot of fun working There was a good time after that. Where'd 693 00:49:43,519 --> 00:49:49,519 you go? I was doing that while going to Santa Monica Community College and 694 00:49:49,639 --> 00:49:52,199 working on whatever production sets. I could get a lot of like just one 695 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:57,599 day, one night music videos stuff like that. And I was just doing 696 00:49:57,679 --> 00:50:01,760 that thing for two years or three years, until I started working with Adam. 697 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:06,400 How did you get over to Uh, my dad was on the show. 698 00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:07,760 He was on Adam Show. Oh and they were like, oh, 699 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,719 we need we're looking for interns. Oh. So my dad was like, 700 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,360 here, my son, my sunt do it. Yeah. But was it 701 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:19,000 a paid internship? No? Oh okay, But then you got hired and 702 00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:23,159 I was your boss. Yes, I worked from like a mean corporate boss. 703 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:30,079 I worked from It was either January or February until August interning, and 704 00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:32,039 then in August, I remember I got hired. That's when I started getting 705 00:50:32,039 --> 00:50:37,320 paid. Right, Wow, so did you But you didn't graduate Santa Monica? 706 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,519 No, right, No, I think I've told the story before. 707 00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:44,719 I was still going to Santa Monica and I was still working at Coffee Bean 708 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,360 while I was working for Adam. I just wasn't doing any of the production 709 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:53,760 stuff. And it was like the last class that I needed. One of 710 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:59,239 the requirements was statistics and I had already failed it once and I was doing 711 00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:05,079 it again. And there was this big important midterm that the teacher scheduled the 712 00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:08,000 day after Halloween. And this was like the first Halloween party. You know, 713 00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:12,280 Me and Gary and Chris all went into this guy's house in the Hollywood 714 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,679 Hills and had this big, giant party. I didn't sleep. I went 715 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,239 into take the test the next day and got like a thirteen, and I 716 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,519 was like, I guess, I'm I guess I'm done with college. Wow. 717 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,800 So I just dropped out after that. I don't remember. I mean 718 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:30,719 I vaguely remember this, but the specifics. You got a thirteen. Yeah, 719 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,239 I think it was either a thirteen or twenty three. It was. 720 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,800 It was low like that, yeah, And I felt and I had like 721 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,440 studied the day before, you know. I was like, I'm gonna study 722 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,360 ahead of time, then I'm gonna go to this party then afterwards like I'll 723 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,960 still know it and be like no, no, aw you't Gary and Matt 724 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,880 when they lived together up in the hill. Yeah, they had like the 725 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:53,400 entourage pad. So you would have had to retake statistics again again, and 726 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,440 you just were like, but you could have just done that one class. 727 00:51:57,519 --> 00:52:00,039 Yeah, But you were just like no, no, because at that point 728 00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:04,239 you had the job Corolla. Yeah, and I was like, oh, 729 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,840 where am I going? I was kind of doing what Elbie's doing. I 730 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:07,599 was like, Okay, I'm going to go to Santa Monica and then I'm 731 00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:12,199 going to transfer. But I didn't have I had like Chapman, I wanted 732 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,519 to go to a couple other places in mind. But then I was like, 733 00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:17,360 Okay, well now I'm kind of already in the industry. I'm going 734 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:22,000 to go to school for film and television production. Like when I'm kind of 735 00:52:22,039 --> 00:52:23,480 already in that job right now, that seems kind of like a waste of 736 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,400 time. Yeah, so I was like, yeah, why am I doing 737 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,239 this? Yeah? I get it. Yeah, I every time I thought 738 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:37,280 about, like when I dropped out of college, like I was wasn't really 739 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,639 in college, but yeah, I was taking the two classes and then I 740 00:52:39,679 --> 00:52:45,599 was working, and I was like, I mean, I just can't do 741 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,440 every I can't get to these classes at night and do the homework for them 742 00:52:49,559 --> 00:52:53,239 and get good grades and also taking two at a time. Like I'm never 743 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:57,760 going to graduate and I'm not going to I'm not doing it to go away 744 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,840 to college. So I had the same thing where I was like what am 745 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:05,039 I doing? This is a step and Yeane was like, now like what 746 00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:06,920 do you what do you really want to do? You want to work on 747 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,360 TV? Okay, well this is what you gotta do. Right, and 748 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,199 that was that. Yeah, I just went to work and then I was 749 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,159 like, well, I'll just I really want to do stand up, so 750 00:53:15,199 --> 00:53:19,719 maybe I should stop fucking around and actually try to do stand up. And 751 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,639 then what Once I was a comedian, I was like, but I was 752 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:27,760 always I never had like foresight, you know. I was always like, 753 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,800 Okay, then I'm going to be a comedian, and I didn't think about 754 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,360 what does that mean. It took me a long time, like a couple 755 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:37,760 of years of doing stand up to go okay, but what is my end 756 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,679 goal? Right? I was so caught up and like, but I want 757 00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:42,840 to I want to be a stand up comedian, Like I love it. 758 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,119 My father was a stand up comedian. It's in my blood, Like this 759 00:53:45,159 --> 00:53:49,480 is what I'm gonna do. And it took so long to go okay, 760 00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,800 But who are like what is making it as a comedian? Mean, right, 761 00:53:53,679 --> 00:53:58,199 there's only like at that time there was like Ellen DeGeneres ad a talk 762 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,760 show. But well they are like giving out development deals left and right at 763 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,960 the time, like that was the thing to do. I was just got 764 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,159 a development deal, I mean, but I wasn't a good actress, right, 765 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,000 So I was always like well even if I get like when I went 766 00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:16,800 to Montreal, like just for laughs, and I got like some meetings out 767 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,840 of it. But I was like, they're gonna start sending me on, 768 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:27,480 like you know, I I'd done these acting auditions and was terrible, right, 769 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,679 And I was like, so that's a whole Another thing is like you 770 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,800 have to take acting classes and you have to be serious about it. And 771 00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:37,280 I could give a fuck about being a good actor. Like I didn't like 772 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,840 other actors. I thought they were all pompous and like took themselves too seriously. 773 00:54:42,039 --> 00:54:45,840 I wanted to hang out with other comics, none of the I just 774 00:54:45,639 --> 00:54:50,840 like there was they were giving out development like DL Hughley, you know, 775 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,760 Grace what's her name? Great, uh Grace Underfire, Brett Butler. But 776 00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:01,400 this was right before my time. I mean they they gave Carmen Electra development 777 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:06,239 deal, you know, like they had just stopped giving out development deals like 778 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:12,559 tic TACs when I when I went to Montreal, nobody got development deals. 779 00:55:13,039 --> 00:55:19,199 I was there with Rehtta, who's like kind of big. Now Chelsea Handler 780 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,440 did a set, but she didn't even get into the new Faces. She 781 00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:28,280 did a set and bombed and nothing had like she didn't get a deal from 782 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:32,280 that either, Like a lot of us, just nothing happened with such a 783 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:36,679 bummer. So eventually I was like, well, what do I like about 784 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,559 stand up? Because I don't know that I don't want to just be a 785 00:55:38,639 --> 00:55:44,800 road comic. Paula Poundstone. They were like a couple of like road Reader, 786 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,480 you know, the people that were like, what am I going to 787 00:55:46,679 --> 00:55:52,559 just play Vegas like?
