Made a decision a face sunny sun on. I hadasion nice to me.
What's up everybody? Hey hey hey, it's said me and your girl's staph
in the hisy. Oh my gosh. So we just we just did our
Thursday show, Yes with Patrick. That was really fun, very a lot
of fun, a lot of info, a lot of tea spilled. Yeah.
It's about reality TV, Golden Bachelor and Love is Blind I was blind.
Yeah, very interesting stuff. So check it out. So I had
such a stressful morning. You did well. First of all, I wonder
if this has happened to either of you guys my art. Okay, where
do I even start with this? And I want to preface this by saying,
this is a seriously quality problem. Okay, I'm not even pretending that
this is not a quality problem, but it is very annoying. So we
got some like fraudulent charges on one of our cards, like a like a
little while ago, like I don't know when, it was like a month
and a half ago, let's just say so they canceled. It was on
my it was on my business debit card. Okay, so they canceled the
card. But the bank, and this is Bank of America, which you'd
think would have their shit together a little bit more than they do. But
so Bank of America accidentally canceled the wrong card, so it was on my
card. They left mine fine, they canceled John's card. So John goes
to use this and John's card is the one that is on all of our
banking so like auto pays and stuff. Yeah, so all of a sudden,
stuff like stuff starts getting declined on his card and he's like, what
the hell, Like, we have money in the bank or whatever, you
know, millions of uh. So we have to call the bank and they're
like, oh, yeah, no, yours just mine just had like a
block on it. What a hold because of the fraudule. Anyway, they
straighten it out. I eventually he we they have to they have to somehow
cancel my car. They had already canceled. They had to cancel my card
because it had fraudulent charges on it. They had accidentally charged canceled John.
So they send John a new card, They send me a new card,
blah blah blah. Have a good day. Doesn't it roll over? Though?
Sometimes when you cancel a card, but I guess if you if it's
fraud or stolen. Then they completely cancel it and doesn't roll. Sometimes if
you replace the card, subscriptions get rolled over again. You know, it
keeps going. No, No, they had they canceled the card completely,
so anything that we had set to be paid by that card it was no
longer. So we had to re input. So we end up getting John's
new card. We re input it into all the banking stuff whatever. Okay,
you know, but there it reverberates. Where Like the other day,
I had a subscription to something that was like, hey, you're it,
which, because it was his old card, was connected to our Apple pay
right, so all of a sudden, it's like your your cloud storage right
is Scott denied because the family plans whatever. Okay, Well, so the
other day I realized that I'd given Sadie my credit card to run into Starbucks,
and now I can't find it. So I call the bank. I
go through my and you know, there's like a million different apps, Like
I'm on my banking app and I'm like, hey, I want to now
I know that I look, I can look at all the charges. There's
no fraudulent charges. Nobody's gotten the card and charged on it. It's probably
literally like under the seat of my car or something will probably drop somewhere that
I cannot find it. But I look everywhere and I cannot find it.
There is no false charges. So I go through the app. I'm like,
hey, I want to report the card missing lost. I accidentally and
I don't know how this happens. I have it clicked on the right card
that I want to cancel. It cancels the wrong card. It cancels my
personal debit card. So now this is like at night. So now I
call the bank. I call it and I'm getting transferred to different people.
Oh, well, you don't want this department, you want this. I'm
like, I just want to report the card the wrong card. Can you
un cancel the card that accidentally got canceled? It just automatically I hit I
want to report it lost. It cancels the card. It's the wrong card,
and it just sends me a notice your card is canceled. We'll send
you out a new one. I'm like, no, it's the wrong card.
So I call. I'm like, can you uncanceled? They go,
no, ma'am. Once it's canceled, it's canceled. So now they have
to cancel the other cards. So now I have no cards because we're just
not people that have like a bunch of credit cards. I do have one
other credit card, but it's like a business credit right Anyway, I'm like,
okay, I do have another card that I can use, but it's
annoying right to have to do that. So now, okay, had you
buy your hard boiled eggs this morning at seven to eleven? I know,
right, So here's this leads us. But you know, what one thing
to know about me is I'm a very serene person. And so I was
like, well this, oh and John, meanwhile, I was like,
well, I hope they don't cancel the wrong card again. I'm like,
all right, settle down, We're so far so good. I should have
my new card like today or tomorrow. Okay, this leads us to this
morning. I was depositing a check by you know, taking a picture of
it that because I'm really in the future, right, And I look at
the account and I see that there's a charge from John's card that he still
has his card for nineteen hundred dollars. And I'm like, and it's and
it's through something called bill Matrix and I'm like, nineteen hundred dollars bought buy
something online and it says it's a San Francisco merchant. So I'm like,
oh, no, another fraudulent charge. So I go marching into the office
where John is is and I'm like, John, did you buy something?
Like? And this was only on like October twelve. I'm like, did
you buy something for nineteen hundred dollars? He's like no, I would know
if I spent nineteen hundred dollars. I'm like, well, it's something called
bill matrix and I googled bill matrix and it only leads you to something called
energy like for people to pay their energy bills. Bill matrix is commonly used
to pay your energy bill. I'm like, oh, holy shit, Like
this is really weird. So we're racking our brain, racking our brain.
What did we What could we? I was like, could it be like
a me medical bill? And he's like no, And I was like well,
so he I go, well, we're going to have to dispute the
charges, you know. Yeah, Like, but I got to go to
work, I have to I got to go into f col and you know,
do our podcast. So because like I'm gonna I'm gonna call I will
call the bank and I will I will find out what it is. And
I have very little information because sometimes you just don't. It literally only says
it was a San Francisco merchant, this was the amount, and that's it,
and it was through something called bill Matrix. The San Francisco thing screws
with you because there's a lot of tech companies out of San Francisco. So
if you set up an auto pay with some I don't know some company,
it's it because I've done this. I'm like, where's this san Francisco?
San Francisco. But then you look into it like Uber, Like there's an
uber charge and it says San Francisco. But it's not right. Weren't in
San Francisco so exactly, so hold tight for the So I'm like, yeah,
but what would we have paid for nineteen hundred dollars? Yeah, that's
a big chunk of money for anybody. And I was like, I just
don't know what we would have what anybody would have charged. I was thinking,
I know Elbe was in San Francisco like last month, Like what did
somebody get? But she doesn't have our credit card? Like and it's John's
credit card, and he's like, I know that I would have remembered paying
nineteen hundred dollars. So he's like, well, I got to dispute the
charges. So he calls the bank. He disputes the charges, yet they
cancel his card. So this is like the fourth card that's been canceled because
now his card's been canceled now twice. My card's been canceled once and now
again because I lost it and now and so five cards canceled in the past
like month. So he cancels the card. He's like, okay, So
it's canceled and they're going to send me out a new card, and I'm
like okay, and he's like, but this is just like really sucks because
what's going on that people keep getting ahold of our card? You know.
So I'm driving I'm driving in this morning, and I'm like, you know,
my brain is just like thinking about it and thinking about it and thinking
about it, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I was
like, oh, holy shit, that's what our health insurance costs. And
then I'm like and I had to use his card to pay our health It's
usually paid on my car, right but I paid it on his card and
I paid it late. And our yes, unbelievably, our health insurance for
our family is nineteen hundred dollars a month. It's very expensive, right,
And I was you know how that like it hit me and I'm like,
oh no, I can't sould them. We disputed the charges for our health
insurance. And then I have to call him on my way here, and
I was like, John, oh no, that was our health insurance.
We just disputed the churches on our health insurance. Luckily we're I think we're
I believe we're within a grace period. I give like three months grace period.
But I just disputed the charges. And then he's like, okay,
well, now I have to call the bank because now they've put a block
on that vendor because it's fraudulent, right, But it was only anything that
you cannot undo these things. He can undo the block to bill Matrix,
which is where it came from. You can unblock that, but he can't
uncancel the card. The card is now canceled because for suspicion of a fraudulent
charge on it. So now you got to get another credit card. God,
but at least you don't have to call the health insurance, and I
have to when I get home, I'm gonna have to call them, Yes,
because I've just disputed charges on there and I'm gonna have to re pay
for it as long as they as long as and I have to make sure
that they reverse the charges there. I mean, they're going to be like,
no, this is not a Fraudut you know what I mean? There
could be like they're going to die redispute. I know I'm gonna have to
call them, and it's going to be a cushot. It is gonna be
You're gonna be on the phone with roosters. Oh my god, because they're
all going to be in another country. God, what are you talking about?
You did what? I have to wait till we get refunded and then
I got to repay them, and I hope they don't cancel my health insurance.
I had the worst pit in my stomach. That's getting here. I
was like, suck, no, I've got a lot of calls to make
when I get here. Yeah. Plus I don't know if this happened,
but when it also when it rains at poors, because I got sadie,
like is like my eyes need to be checked. Now I realize like her,
she had glass. You know, she hasn't been to the eye doctor
in like two years, because like what, I'm going to send them all
to the doctor every year. I got three kids, It's not realistic.
I'm like, your eyes are fine, You'll let me know when your eyes
are not fine. Well, she's let me know my eyes are not fine
anymore. I'm like, oh right. Then she comes into my room last
night, She's like, mom, are my wisdom teeth supposed to her?
I feel it coming in and I, honest to Godlin I was like,
I need a freaking refresher course on who goes where. It's like, I
need to be like, what's the what's the one from Homeland where she's making
all the market? You need to be Claire. I need to be like
going, okay, I don't remember where the where the wisdom teeth referral originates
from, Like somebody usually lets me know what I need to do when I
need to do it. I'm pretty sure that's the dentist. And I'm pretty
sure she's been to the dentist in the last like six months. So I'm
like, well, the dentist didn't tell me she needs her wisdom teeth out
and what? So now what? I was, honest to God in my
mind, going, well, I'm gonna have to call the dentist and be
like, do you have X rays from Sadie? Because she's saying her wisdom?
Is it too early? She's only fifteen, right, she shouldn't need
her wisdom teeth out at fifty. Not yet. No, I don't know.
Something else. Could be something else. Maybe maybe she's got a cavity,
says she feels it. No, she says she feels poking through.
Oh boy, I'm like, push it back down. Not yet, I
know, Yeah, I can't. Your your eyes checked first, and then
in a couple of years will deal with your I know. But she's like,
is it supposed to hurt? I'm like, I don't know. It's
making her eyes. I don't know. Oh my god, I know.
Like these kids, it really is like whack them all. It's like I
get one of them settled down, you know, and then the other one's
like her mark's teeth hurt. I'm like, get I want to hammer her
back down with a mallet. Shut up. And then I got the other
one. He's like I'm tired all the time. Why am I so tired
all the time? Should I see a doctor? No? No, take
some vitamin C. Yes, go to the gym, do something, get
some energy. I don't know, drink more coffee like like everybody else,
everybody's tired all the time. Oh my god, So that was my morning,
Like this mom shit like never stop, and they all roads lead to
me. You don't see Sadie going to First of all, Sadie and John
are like two peas in a pod, like they totally get each other.
They love spending time together. Then why not go to him when you're wisdom
teeth hurt? You know why? Because John would just be like Sadie singer
wisdom teeth hurt. I'm an orthodonist. I'm like an orthodontist and orthopedist,
Like I mean, I know, I went to medical exactly. Why is
my vision kind of like blurry? Uh? What do I look like?
Like I'm gonna whip out like a vision chart? Like I don't know.
Can you see the top line? The next thing you should do that I
should get I should get one of those what are some readers from write aid?
Oh my lord, you know who we should say hi, do Yeah,
we're already you know what we should do. We should take a break
and then we'll come back. Oh, let's talk about I got it,
Kaylin edit this song make me sound normal? You know what? You know
what everybody could use, but Sadie probably shouldn't use. This is microdosing.
Yes, I love this stuff. And I know John takes it to you.
Yes, but I love it because when I especially when I go to
my condo and I'm all, you know, uh stressed, and I just
take one of these in the evening and it just makes me feel calm.
It makes me feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. And
you do the microdose, right, I do the microdose because they also make
these. Lemmy Labs makes these in full dose form too, so if you
like more of an actual high, right, you can do that. They
got you. Yes, you know, but microdosing is very on trend right
now. Yes, it is. It is, I think because it helps
with so many things. It can make like sex better, it can make
sleep, It can make you feel exactly concentration. Sometimes you just need to
drown out all the background noise and all the background worries and just like focus.
Okay, you and this can really help you. Yeah. So micro
dose is available nationwide and you can learn more about about microdosing THC if you

I'm the one that's got to take them both. Right, Yeah, where
do they want to go? Now? Boulder? Well, so I'm leaving
in about a week. I think a week from today actually, so we
got to figure this out. But going to Boulder, so okay, yeah,
going to Boulder and going week from today, yeah, at night,
leaving okay, okay, yeah, and then looking at the universities on Tuesday,
and then coming back Tuesday night. Oh wow, okay, yeah,
okay, and then November. Oh, same day. You're leaving on a
Monday night, You're going to see the schools on Tuesday, and you're gonna
fly back tuesday night. Yes, interesting, okay, going with Sonny and
his pal and his dad and his and the dad. Okay, now I
never met the dad, but oh, you know, we're on the same
flight. They rented a car, so I don't know, like am I
supposed to? I said, like, don't worry about us, we'll get
it. We'll get an uber or whatever. But he did rent a car
and we are going to be driving about I think forty five minutes apart two
universities. So I'm gonna be sitting in a car with another dad. You
know. I mean it's fine, but it's just still I don't know,
it's like it's uncomfortable. I mean, would you want to do that?
I mean, is is Sunny gonna want to be with his friend? Yeah?
So then you'd have to rent another car just to drive by yourself.
Well, right, why do that one? And he offered, he said,
I'm gonna be renting a car because we're going to the two universities and
they're not close together. They're they're you know, I think they're like forty
five minutes apart or something like that. So I don't know, but that's
what's happening. And then Natalia is, we're going in November, November two.
I think, yeah, which turning into a kind of a cashah,
but like we're supposed to just go look at the universities. I wanted to
just come back, but we're actually staying for a weekend. Oh you are,
Okay. I don't know that for sure, if I'm staying yet or
not. I haven't made that decision, okay. But and then Sonny decided
he was like, well, wait a minute, I think I want to
go to Arizona too and check it out. And I was like, oh
good, because if you go, then I can you and I can hang
out together and I can do my own thing with Sonny. Right right,
good plan, right, But I don't know. He's still on the fence.
But I'm like, you got to get off the fence. Make it
go. I know, I don't know. If he doesn't want to go,
that's fine, but he is he considering the school. Because if he's
considering the school, I would say like, now's your chance to go.
That's what I'm saying. So what I have to make two trips? I
know, but I do know that she is. Natalia has done all her
her admissions are done, all her essays are done, admitted, She's done.
Yeah wow, and then Sonny's just about done. How many schools would
she apply to? See Miami, let's see GCU. Did she apply early
decision to teach? I think she did? Yeah, Okay, yeah she
did. And then she did I think Boulder, Arizona, the one in
Tucson. I'm getting the Arizona ones confused, So as U and University,
Yeah, both of them. Yeah. And then there was like, uh,
there's one law schools Mill Yeah, a couple, a couple of cal
State I don't know. I don't know. She told me. I can't
remember, but it wasn't like Santa Barber or anything. I don't know.
It could have been Santa Cruz, actually, I don't know. But and
then uh, there was one in Mississippi, old miss Okay, and then
uh, because he reckoned that, her counsel recommended that one. And then
another he one he recommended was Milwaukee or somewhere some some some school in Milwaukee.
But and I know that it's like forty five minute drive from Wendy and
her. Okay, Yeah, so she applied to a bunch, So we'll
see and where sunny and all this, well, I don't know. I'm
gonna catch up with him. He's doing his thing today with his counselor so
he's he's his essay is really good, really, you know, he's he's
the sports guy. You know, he's finally recognizing that he does have a
good angle because he's been doing the podcast. He's been doing the podcast for
like five years, since he was twelve, and consistently, and he watches
like football every I mean he grew up watching football every Sunday. How many
weeks out of the year, is football okay on like ten weeks, twelve
weeks more than that, Yeah, there's probably closer to I mean with playoffs
and stuff, probably closer to twenty Okay, So all those weeks out of
the year watching football with Bill Simmons, cousin, Sal Kevin Hench, Dave
damashek you know, and this guy, this counselor was like, wait,
what you know these guys and he was like, yeah, I grew up
watching sports with them. So he put that into his essay, you know,
because I mean it's pretty impressive. Yeah, really impressed. And he's
a little bit of a savant with sports. It's not just NFL, it's
NBA. It's and the history of NFL and NBA. And now he's into
he's now all up on college basketball, college football, in fact, even
more so, and boxing an NFC, so like he's pretty UFC, thank
you, And so he's pretty a NFC. He's pretty well rounded, and
he's a little bit of a savant when it comes to this, I have
to say. So saying all that, now he's finally he's like, yeah,
I was talking to my counselor and he was like wait what, you
got a lot of stuff here we can talk about in your essays that you
should you know so address. So anyway, he's he's gonna be pretty pretty
du with all that and submitting everything in soon. So the bottom line is
he wants to do sports broadcasting. So well, I'll know more next week
on where he goes. I think he'd be great. I mean, he's
got such a great voice. When he was a guest on our show,
he sounds he has a really good I think turning to his voice, yeah
for that kind of thing. And he's super smart and he's on it and
he's outgoing, like he was funny telling a story. He's young, he's
got the conversational yeah, and he's young, he's outing right right. Yeah.
So then when I was talking to him, but I started getting excited
for him, I'm like, yeah, you know, why an't you?
He goes, I don't know, I just don't. He doesn't like talking
about his podcast like ever. I remember having IEP meetings and was I like,
would I mentioned it once? And he's like kicking me under the table,
like don't bring it up, Like he doesn't like, he doesn't like
to talk about it at school and stuff. I don't know why, but
yeah, so now like the counselor was like, wait a second, hold
on, we should do this angle. So yeah, I love it.
And you just did his podcast, right, Kaelin. Yeah, I did
his podcast a few weeks ago. And my older brother just did his podcast
last week as well, Benchwarmers. Yeah, he's in our fantasy league,
so yeah, and he my brother loves Sunny's podcast and yeah, he did
it and he got all like fine self conscious after He's like, oh,
they posted the episode and I talked too much blah blah blah, and I
was like, it's fine, Oh it's good. You can go on any
time. Yeah, it's fun. That's great. Yeah. Speaking of football,
I watched the Colorado game, the college game, yeah, and they
were playing Stanford. Did you watch the game? I didn't watch it.
I saw a clip from it where I don't know what they were doing,
but they were like playing things over the speaker while Stanford was trying to huddle,
like a very not cool thing to do, and the ref had to
come out and say like, hey, knock it off. You and the
booth up there like yeah, playing whatever you're doing. They got a lot
of fouls against them too, a lot of flags, a lot of penalties
tons. Uh. So I'm watching the game, and you know, I
told you I decided that I was a Colorado fan, like whatever a few
weeks ago. So and I'm thinking like, yeah, we got to like
beat these like Stanford like smarty pants people, you know, like halfway through
the game and then they're killing them. They were, they were way up.
They were like twenty nine was killing Colorado was winning, Stanford was not
on the board. Well, it felt like Colorado just was getting kind of
cocky. Also, you know Diann coach Prime, Uh, you know,
he's kind of a dick, like I mean obviously, which I don't know
why. I thought that was like kind of funny before like he's, you
know, mister Gucci, like you know, I'm bringing in my my,
my, all the best players and like you're not gonna be able to compete
with us, and uh and then he's winning nine zero and I was like,
you know what, I was like, It's then Stanford scored one and
I said to John, I was like, they're gonna they're coming back,
and John's like, absolutely not. And I was like, you know what,
Colorado's too cocky. Sure enough, sure enough, Stanford just started.
They just went crazy. And halfway through the game, I was just like,
you know what, I know this is terrible, but I'm rooting for
Stanford. Now I'm rooting for Stanford. I was like, I don't know
why. I just don't want I don't want Colorado to win. I don't
think that they should be rewarded for this. And I'm like, I think
Stanford, like they're scrappier, they're trying, they're they're not getting as nearly
the penalties they're you know. I was like, and then they just kept
scoring and kept scoring, and then it went and then they tied the game,
then it went into overtime and then Stanford won. Wow. Yeah,
it was very exciting to watch, especially I manifested it. And it was
really funny because John was the whole time. John was like almost laughing at
me. I was like, Stanford's gonna win. They're gonna they are,
They're gonna win. And this was when they were still behind, but it
was toward the end of the game and John's like, absolutely not there,
there's no way. And I was like okay. And then I mean John
was kind of impressed. He's like, how did how did you know that?
I was like, I just had a feeling, and also I was
giving it all my psychic energy that you learned on the seatbelt psychic. I
can't believe neither of you guys saw that game. Now. I'm always kind
of like looking. I mean, I don't try very hard, you know,
I don't, but I always look through the channels and like I'll look
later to look for the Colorado game and I can never find it. I
never It was just on ESPN. Again, I don't try very hard.
What was the chanting thing though that they were doing. They were like someone
in the booth was playing something over the speakers when Stanford was like in their
huddle too. Yeah, when you're on defense, you're not allowed to drown
out like they're supposed. They have to be able to hear their quarterback like
calling plays, and you're not like if you if it's because at another point
I got this straightened out. Stanford was on offense and they were playing music
and I was like, well, how come they're not getting in trouble now?
And John goes, well, because they're the ones that would be affected
by it if they feel like, if they want to play music, they
can, but we're not allowed. The other team is not allowed to be
blasting music over the loudspeaker. And you know, the crowd can chant,
the crowd can yell shit and try to try to try to mess them up,
but you can't do something like play music over the loudspeakers. Right,
So the ref had to come out and he said he like addressed. It
was a like unsportsmanlike penalty. And he said to the sound boost he said,
I'm calling giving you a penalty. You and the sound booths stopped playing
music and they were basically like if you do it again, like you're you're
gonna lose your You're not gonna be able to play anything, right, I'm
pretty sure. Wow bad Wowow this drama and missing I know on Saturday afternoon.
Wow, who knew? Who knew? I was into it? Yeah,
it was fun, I bet so Sadie and Xander so we just had
this school fan sut you saw them their little band. Yeah, it was
really cute. So Sadie plays bass, now I know when did that happen?
Like she this year? So you know there's a music program at the
kids school and Xander was in it all last year, and Sadie really wanted
to be in it, honestly, she felt bad. So last year in
ninth grade, when they signed up for the school, they got to before
ever setting foot on the school, I got to pick their elective classes.
Sadie hadn't put down that she wanted to be in the music lab. She
also didn't really play an instrument at that point, right. She wanted to
play guitar, but Xander had already been playing guitar for a couple you know,
he'd already taught himself, so she hadn't put it down. So anyway,
so Xander got into music lab and she didn't, and she wanted to
switch in and I was like, well, but you didn't originally ask for
it, you know. So anyway, all year long she was like,
I'm going to have to audition for it for next year. At the very
end of ninth grade, she auditioned, and she'd been playing guitar a bit
at that point and she got in. So now she's in this year.
But over the summer she was like, I want to play bass. I
want to do something different nice and Xander, you know, so we got
her a bass. I found it on Facebook marketplace. So was bas was
that her bass? Now they have all these instruments at school because that bass
was huge. Yep. Yeah, she was doing a good job. She
was doing a good job in her boots. There's nothing cool than like girls
playing bass. Guy. No, I love it. It's so cute.
I love it. Yeah, she's wearing these big furry boots. She's just
got style of back guy she does. She was wearing some little sticker on
her face. I think it's like a pimple sticker. But they make them
in cute babe, so she wears them for like decoration on her face.
That's cute. Yeah. And then finally you zoomed in. I was like,
she I wish she would zoom in and and then finally you did it
and go to her instagral to Stephanie's Instagram. It's on fate my Facebook.
Oh did it come up on Instagram as well? Yeah, that's how I
saw it. Oh, that's so funny. I just posted it on Facebook,
but I guess it went on Instagram. Yeah, oh interesting. Yeah,
Well anyway, I okay, so I didn't have my phone, so
here's what happened. What happened you didn't have your phone. I didn't have
my phone. Well I did have my phone, credit card, no phone?
What the fuck? Step I had my phone? Hold on hold please.
I was in charge of running the ticket booth at this festival thing,
so I got I had to get to the school really early. Well,
the person running the event only had one of those you know, the square
so you can swipe people's credit card and you attach it to your phone.
Yeah, okay, so she had what I had one on my phone the
other. It was like lines of people coming in the whole day buying tickets
and the only person who could take a credit card was me on my phone.
So when it was time for the kids to do their music show,
I had to run in to watch their music show. I had to leave
my phone with the people that were selling tickets because there was no other way
for them to take credit cards. So I'm like, here's my phone.
So I run in and I'm like watching the show. But so John was
John had to film it from his phone. Okay, last time we both
filmed it and we got two angles, so it was kind of fun.
Good. Yeah, then we could do one of us could be closer up.
But We're just stuck being seated where we were seated and he had to
shoot from that angle. Anyway, I get back and they were like,
oh my god, you forgot to give us the code for your phone,
so they knew. So the person I was working with had texted me on
my phone, what's the code for your phone? And I was like,
well, that wasn't really gonna help me. We were holding my phone.
I was like, somebody should have run in to come get me and ask
me, but it was like dark in there and it was like very packed.
So anyway, that's what I was doing. The whole day was like
running in to watch my kids perform, and luckily they had. They each
did a song. I'm gonna post the other video. Xander did another show
another song right after the one ysater was doing his solo. Wasn't it good?
It was great and people were screaming. I heard somebody yelling xand like
when he was doing his solo, everybody went nuts. Yeah, it's a
really cute school. It's very supportive, like very inclusive and people are people
are so nice there. Yeah, and he wrote that guitar solo. He
did so the guitar teacher the teacher for the whole music lab, the guy
who runs it as a great musician. He's been saying to Xander, he's
like, well, where did you find that guitar solo? And Sander's like,
I made it up? And he's like, do you have any idea?
How hard that is? Like, that's a hard thing to write.
That's very professional to come up with a guitar solo on your own, just
based on the song. That's crazy. So what song? What? The
song that they did was just a song because they all wrote I can't remember
who it's by. No, it's a cover song. It's a cover song
something like right Side of my Neck or Wright, I don't know. Some
I can't remember what it's called. It's by an artist I've never heard of.
Then the next song, which I will post it get also is Mazzie
Starr Fade Into You. They did that cover of that and Xander also played
guitar on that and sounded so good. Oh my god, it was really
fun. Yeah, that's cute. Maybe very happy about the school that they're
on. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. All let's

Maybe? Else? Well, I'll tell you, yeah, save it for
Friday or Patreon or for Patreon. Yeah, ok, a little bit more
about this festival, Okay, yeah, okay. But the part I I
will say is that, oh my god, I felt like I had a
job, like a job, like I was. I was constantly like wiping
credit cards and like making change, and like I was like, oh no,
I used to that. I know. It felt like having a job
job, right, yeah, which, honest to god, wasn't a bad
feeling. I was like, it's kind of like it kind of went by
really fast. I was there all day except for like literally the thirty minutes
that I take making taking all festival. The fall festival. They had game
booths. I missed that my kids school used to have that nice do you
work the booths and stuff you had to like, and then they would do
the thing with the silly string, which drove me nuts every year at the
end, all the kids they gave them these these silly string things and then
it's all in your hair, all in my kid's hair, all over my
car, all over the yard. Who's cleaning all that shit up? Not
me, right right? But I remember, like, you know, uh
ticket booth, you know, working the little like you know booth that they
had, like you got to be at the or you got to go work
the pizza line. You know. That was fun. And then they have
they had a raffle which wasn't called a raffle, it was called an opportunity
so and a silent auction. And our friend Nikki Kaufman sent me, who
runs a restaurant out out here and called truck Ston's. She sent me a
two hundred dollars gift card. Oh that's a nig part of an auction.
So like that was really cool. It's cool. Yeah, Caylen, you're
going to be working these things soon enough, you will, Yeah, you
will. Yeah, all the dads are there. Yeah, it's fun.
It's fun. I love that. Yeah. John showed up and I was
running him around. He was supposed to be helping with the ticket booth,
but we had people there and I think he was supposed to be taking over
for me. Somebody was supposed to be there. But nobody else could have
a now that is, I don't credit card square thing. I was the
only one, so I couldn't have. I couldn't. I never got a
break. I never got to the only time I got a break was to
go watch the kids, and then I had to come right back. And
that's a little detail that's pretty big that you think somebody should have thought of
before Saturday or whatever it was. You would think, right, you would
think, like, hold on, where's the square? Who's got the square?
We need somebody, more than one person obviously that has a square.
Yeah, does a school have a square? Like what's going on? Apparently
they did, but they couldn't find it or it was locked in a cash
box. That was like somebody couldn't find where that other cash box was,
like you know, yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, that was like,
all right, well we don't have a square. One person. I
mean, what if you didn't have one. Well would they have done I
didn't have I didn't have one. It was the schools they had They to
attach it to my phone and then I had to be logged in to this
thing. And so it was just me and the woman who was basically in
charge, the parent that is almost in charge of everything that goes on at
our school. So she had one, but she was off doing a million
other things, right, so I was the only person available. And also
I was like, my phone's gonna die because it was getting a lot of
you know what I mean. My phone was being constantly used and I was
starting to run out of battery. It was like, it's kind of stressful.
It reminded me of working at a movie theater when I worked in concessions
at the Egyptian Theater on Hollywood, Bullmargen I was nineteen, that's right.
I remember feeling like that kind of adrenaline rush of like, you know,
it's like eighteen deep at the concession stand, and like none of these people
could do math that were working concessions with me, So you know, I'd
be adding like all right, three twenty five plus the soda was, you
know, two dollars plus this plus Okay, they owe eighteen seventy five,
right right? They needed me on that ledge, you know, on the
yes, yes, well a couple math brains. So it was homecoming again.
I feel like it's Hoko every other week. Yeah, it's already happened.
Oh no, because she got the home from last year. Yes,
the homecoming proposal. Okay, so what happened already? So it was over
the weekend. It was on Saturday, okay, and uh the next morning
I get a text to my phone from her, can you unclog my toilet?
And I'm like why and she's like, uh, my friend Brent,
I don't even one of her friends that I don't even know, was cleaning
her shoes with paper towel and threw it down my toilet. And I was
like, she put her shoe down the toilet. No, she put paper
towels because she was white. And I'm like, does Britain not have a
toilet at home? What she's seventeen? Does she not know that you don't
put paper towels down a toilet? Right? Has she ever met a toilet
before? I know? I'm like, okay, go get the plump,
go get the plunge. Your you plunge it, like you got to learn
how to do these things about Yeah, go find the place. I'll tell
you where it is in the garage. Go get it, take it,
plunge it, flush it, plunge it. If it spills over, clean
it with some towels, whatever, and don't leave a mess. Put that
in the laundry room, put it in the washing machine. And she did.
So at least something good came out of homecoming. So did they have
fun? Yeah? So Saturday. Yeah, so it's always like whack them
all for me because I got her getting ready and they've got pictures over at
you know so and so's house, you know, their boyfriend's house, and
at five point thirty because they got dinner reservations up the street. Right,
did you find out at the last minute? Like I always always, I
found like five point fifteen and they're like, yeah, I don't know if
you want to help with if you want to take pictures, we're all going
to be here at five thirty. You know you knew earlier, bitch I
found. Well, what happened was is all three moms. So there's Natalia's
boyfriend's mom and then Natalia's best friend's boyfriend's mom, right, and they don't
really well, they kind of know each other, but whatever. And I'm
kind of in the middle. So one's texting me going and Natalia's best friend's
month. So there's four moms whatever, so kind of texting each other.
But why not just put it on a group text. So I hear we're
gonna be four thirty taking pictures at so and So's house. So I tell
Natalia, thanks for telling me at four thirty we're taking pictures. She goes
four thirty. She goes, that's too that's too early. We're not gonna
be the She's like, Devin's getting her hair blow dried at three thirty,
Like, we're not gonna be ready at four thirty. I'm like, well,
you better tell so and So's mom because she thinks they're coming over to
her house at four thirty. So then I sent a text and it's like
telephone and then the mom goes, okay, you know five forty five.
They say to come to the house at five forty five. Okay, So
then that's fine, But then I get Sunny who I keep asking. So
Natalian's getting ready since two o'clock practically right, and then her girlfriends come over
and they're all getting ready, and then I go down the hall and Sonny's
just sitting there watching college football, bouncing the ball against the wall in his
boxer shorts, and I'm like, it's four o'clock. Are you gonna get
ready? He's like, yeah, but why it's too early because I take
fifteen minutes to get dressed. And I was like, but are you gonna
take it? Because yeah, I already took a shower. His hair was
wet, so I was like, all right, and then how are you
getting anywhere, by the way, and are you taking pictures? Right?
What's going on with you? And he's like nothing, I'm just going to
the thing. I'm gonna wear my jacket and my shirt and pant like his
dress pants, no tie, and he's like it's all And I go in.
Everything's ready, like, everything's like clean's going. He's not going with

they don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck, and they're not
going to dinner first, They're going to like somebody's house at pizza and then
go right, so then it's just another night. It's just another night,
except there at the pain and the ass they have to get dressed up,
Like then, I like to get dressed up right at least sunnied up.
I don't either, Yeah, I know who does at this point, but

at least I'm gonna I want to take a picture of you. You
know. It's senior year. It's homecoming. And he's like, well you
still got prom And I was like, oh, yeah, you're right,
Like I feel like homecoming is just every other week for some reason. I
feel like we just had it. But it's because they had it in junior
year as well, right, and then they had winter for them. Well
I don't know. So anyway, there's a lot of dances, a lot
a lot. Now my kids don't have that many anymore. Elbie did because
she was at that big high school where there's always something home coming. Our
kids don't have any sports yes, that's right. Those sports, no sports
teams, no, nothing like that. Yeah, our school's got football stadium
blah blah blah. So yeah they do that, they do that all that
shit. But our school always seems to have a play like every five minutes.
It's like, hey, get your tickets to the this play. And
then there's that this thing, and there's speech and debate, and there's poetry
slam, and there's a music thing, the music festival. So there's always
like that. Yeah good, yeah, yeah that's fine. So then,
you know, so we get together over at the house and uh and Natalian's
boyfriend Griffin. I love him. I love him, and I love his
mom. They're really I mean I had lunch with her like two days before,

we do that and I'm like, yes, Trey. And then meanwhile,
Sonny's still back at the ranch getting dressed, and I'm like, I kind
of want to get home to Sunny, but I don't want to be rude.
So then I'm sitting next to Griffin's mom and then she gets a text

So anyway, I just you know, but all in all, it was
a fun night. I never did get to see Sunny dressed up. You
yeah, get there. Well, he he has his car, he's driving,
but he also oh he and then he drove all the way to Westwood
the other night because Sonny's been driving around town and he drives to the studio
to do his podcast, which is not that far, but he's getting you
know, he's been driving for a couple months now. So I guess Adam
had the twentieth anniversary of Windy City Heat with Jimmy Kimmel that Jimmy was hosting
at a theater in Westwood, Okay, and tell Sonny you should come.
And Sonny really during the school week a couple of days, I think it
was on a Thursday night, and he was like, I'm gonna I want
to go, you know, I'm gonna drive to Westwood, and I'm with
him that night and I'm like, do you know how to get to You're
gonna take three freeways to get there, and then when you get there,
you're gonna have to have fine parking, like it's a whole thing. You
know what you're in for, and you're going by yourself, Like I wish
he had somebody to go with him, just to you know whatever. And
he's like, no, I'm just gonna go by myself. So he drove,
took three freeways, drove fifty five five minutes, did get lost.
I was following him. He did get lost a little bit, got on
the wrong freeway at the one seventy, turned around and got back on and
it was because Adam called him. Then he's so. Then I see on
the map he gets there, and I'm like, okay, he's there.
So then whatever. Then all of a sudden, I get a text from
Adam. I'm trying to call Sonny. He's not answering and he's not answering
my text, and I'm like what, And then I take a screenshot.
I go, well, he's at the theater. So it turns out the
movie started. He was a few minutes late, so he quietly snuck in
and was sitting in the back and did not see Adam until like the very
end at the until lights come on, you know, But I don't know.
I was proud of him. He drove all the way down there,
and they drove all the way back and he got home perfectly fine. It
was just getting down there because it was traffic and all that shit. Right,
But yeah, he's been a man about town. So yeah, I
missed him. I didn't get pictures with him. Prompts gonna be right around
