1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:08,519
Made uh de same, Joe,
I'll face sunny sune on. I had

2
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:18,000
a vision like nice. So let's
up, everybody, what is up?

3
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:22,920
I'm happy twenty twenty four. Oh
my god, it's twenty twenty four.

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,199
I remember when my kids were like
at the preschool and you know, people

5
00:00:28,239 --> 00:00:30,839
would go, oh when they graduated
high school, it's going to be twenty

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,520
twenty four, Like, oh my
god, that's so far away. It's

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,520
now year. It's scary and I
hate it. I don't like it.

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,719
I know Elbie was born in two
thousand and four, twenty years ago.

9
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,880
Wow, she'll be twenty this year. That's crazy. I know my kids

10
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,640
are going to be eighteen this year. Isn't that insane? I know I

11
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,479
don't like it. I don't like
it either, you see, Kaylin,

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:03,479
this is your future. But at
the same time, like now that my

13
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,959
twins are sixteen, I do I
am really trying to appreciate this time and

14
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,920
trying to do too, and not
just because not just like oh I only

15
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,719
have like two years left, but
like the baby years were so hard,

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
you know, so so hard,
and I just remember thinking like will it

17
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,920
ever feel that thing of like we
just have a family, like right,

18
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,480
it was there ever going to be
a time that things are just kind of

19
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,799
good, right, And now I
look at my twins and for the first

20
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:42,840
time in so long, they have
friends. Like they're both they're both happy,

21
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,599
right, you know, they're knock
on wood. They both seem to

22
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,760
be yes, yes, thriving,
and like, you know, we can

23
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,200
get into like what everybody did for
what holiday, but like they're just both

24
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:57,799
doing their thing, getting good grades, like enjoying their school. And I

25
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,519
don't think I've had that in so
many years. Like all the elementary there

26
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:07,960
was always like stuff going on and
either either Xander was going through something major

27
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,240
or then Sadie was that going through
something kind of major and all the trials

28
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,199
and tribulations, and now they're just
pretty fine. Obviously life has ups and

29
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:22,599
downs, but it's like I just
go, oh my gosh, my older

30
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,280
one is fine right now, my
younger ones are fine. Everybody's fine,

31
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Like, oh, let me just
try to be present in the time of

32
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,240
life for and but I understand also
I do have my moments where I'm like,

33
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:38,879
holy shit, I hate it.
I will go away, then I'll

34
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,439
be on the final Then what am
I going to do? Well? That's

35
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,439
what I'm saying. I mean,
my kids are both gone at the same

36
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,159
time, and maybe maybe we'll see
any updates on the college stuff for them.

37
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:57,919
Natalia's pretty much going wants to do
Santa Barbara, that's what she wants

38
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,280
to do. Oh but did she
find out if she go to her but

39
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:07,520
she but she early decisioned. Uh
yeah, I don't think it happened or

40
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:12,560
we didn't hear anything yet, so
there's nothing. There's no news there.

41
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,599
She did get into. I think
she would have a couple Yeah, she

42
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,400
would have heard by now. No, I'm saying if she didn't hear that

43
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,360
she didn't, then there's every possibility
she still did. Oh really, I

44
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,080
think so, se Yeah, you've
been through it. I don't know.

45
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,199
Well, just because of my stupid
paying for college one oh one Facebook group,

46
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,039
I hear all the time people that
say their kid applied to Early Decision

47
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,120
and just found out they were deferred
or or rejected. Yeah, well,

48
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,439
I don't know. In Sunny and
she didn't hear from the other one either.

49
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Miami, No, I don't think
she's getting into Miami. No.

50
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,039
Okay, that's where she wants to
go. Okay, and she applied anywhere

51
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,400
else. Yeah, she applied to
like six or seven I think. Okay,

52
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,680
yeah, and so her backup plan
is still going to community college in

53
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:02,759
Santa Barbara. That's what she wants
to do no matter what. Oh she

54
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:06,439
does, Yeah, unless she gets
into Miami, because that's where she wants

55
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:12,759
to go. But what's the Texas
one? I think if she does too,

56
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,919
but if she gets an early decision, if she gets into that,

57
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,920
then yes she'll go there, right
okay, Okay, Okay, and Sunny

58
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:26,639
so then and Sunny Sunny heard back
from uh. I think Montana and Washington

59
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,040
so far, and that's it as
far as I know. But did he

60
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,519
get in or no? Yeah,
he got in to Washington State, Yeah,

61
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Wazoo Yeah, Okay, is he
inst in either of those? He

62
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,000
really wants to go to Colorado?
Okay, he hasn't heard yet, hasn't

63
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,360
heard yet. Okay, So that's
where we're at there. But yeah,

64
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:56,480
I'm like in six months things are
just gonna change, and you know,

65
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,319
they're going to be eighteen and also
now like they're driving, so they don't

66
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,879
need me anymore as much, you
know. But but we had a good

67
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:10,920
like you know, they were with
their dad for Christmas, and I went

68
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:15,879

I came back and then I spent this

00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,759

70
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:26,480
day watching football with Sunny on Saturday. Sunday, yeah, Sunday, and

71
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,120

74
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,399
same with us. Yeah, and
uh we because we lived close to

75
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,839
the Rose Ball so we heard the
Fighter Jets go over. It was like

76
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,279
really exciting, said, he had
like ten guys over all day. Oh,

77
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:59,199
and you were trying to get tickets, but yeah, but we didn't

78
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,720
know it's and and he was like, I'm I was fine watching it at

79
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,079
home with my friends and being at
the stadium with like one friend. They

80
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,639
had like nine or ten guys over
all day watching football. It was like,

81
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,040
So I watched football with just Sunny
on Sunday. Wait, and then

82
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:25,360
yes, and then watch it Washington
watched I didn't ending if that was great

83
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,639
as well. Washington, Texas.
Yeah, it was a great game.

84
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:33,040
Yeah, you didn't watch that one, no, because I was leaving football.

85
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,040
He was with his friends, like
even to college football there and watch

86
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,240
football with him and his friends.
But but on Sunday, NFL we watched

87
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,680
football. You gave me a whole
story about Joe Flacco on the Browns,

88
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,600
because the brown it's a great story, the story. Browns are my team,

89
00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:58,040
and they suck bad for years and
they're notoriously like have been the worst,

90
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:01,439
the worst laughing stock kind of the
NFL can't ever draft the right quarterback.

91
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,680
And yeah, Joe flaccos of Super
Bowl winning quarterback who pretty much retired

92
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,439
like he was out of it.
But they had such bad problems on the

93
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,519
Browns with quarterback, you know,
Deshaun Watson got in and then they were

94
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,839
trying to get some other guys they
didn't work out. So they got Joe

95
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:24,319
Flacco to essentially come back, and
he's just been like lighting it up every

96
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:28,279
game. He throws for like over
three hundred yards. He's like the second

97
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:31,279
oldest player in history to throw for
over three hundred yards in three straight games.

98
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,439
Oh wow, so cute too,
He's kind of cute. And also

99
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,560
they're in the playoffs. The Browns. Now they've won like every game he's

100
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,439
been story come back, He's gonna
be come back, comeback Player of the

101
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:46,639
Year. Yeah, and it's funny
too because he's so you know, he's

102
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,000
very again super Bowl winning, he
spent all his time with the Ravens,

103
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,439
but he so he's very seasoned,
so like he's been there, done that.

104
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,040
So every time they cut to him, like on the bench, he's

105
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,920
just like sitting there with like at
one point he puts his eyes down and

106
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:05,319
all the memes were like, I'm
just trying to take a nap in between

107
00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:09,439
taking care of the carpool lines.
He showed me the Sonny showed me those

108
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,160
memes. Yeah, that's like,
here's Joe Black, I'll taking a nap

109
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,720
on the sideline. Like just jokes
about him being old. Yeah, like

110
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:18,920
he's a dad and he's old.
He's kind of like a Tom Brady,

111
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Yeah, a little you know,
it kind of reminds me of Tom Brady,

112
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,680
like a little older in his career. But yeah, like very interesting.

113
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,360
So spend all day on Sunday watching
football with Sunny, and then yesterday

114
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,240
on Monday, on New Year's Day, was he was with his friends and

115
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,799
then I watched most of the game, like, you know, just upstairs

116
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,799
because they were downstairs. And then
did Sunny talk at all about how I

117
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,240
won the fantasy football League? No, he didn't tell me anything. Well,

118
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:50,679
yeah, when did he find out
on Sunday? On Sunday? Yeah,

119
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,799
oh yeah he did. I was
going to ask him about the football

120
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,240
league and I totally forgot. So
you won. Yeah, that's right,

and what they do for New Year's
Eve. They both went to the same

130
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,559
party, which is weird because this
party, when I find on Life three

131
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:50,840
sixty, was right down the street
from our old warehouses, the old studio.

132
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,000
Oh like literally right right, there, and I guess that there's some

133
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,519
there was some party at a at
a park that their friends at their school

134
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,720
had hosted whatever, But the two
of them they went and they came home

135
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,480
like it was like twelve forty five. She had her friends spend the night.

136
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,200
Sunny and his friends came back to
the house, went to the theater

137
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,159
and hung out and it was nice. And then I stayed home like waiting

138
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,799
for them. You know, I
was on the phone with friends all night

139
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:26,519
watching Andy Cohen and I just love
Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper on CNN,

this whole line of gay men like
bringing in the New Year, and I

144
00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:48,480

00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,440
my face off. Now I went
to my friend, my little mom group

152
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,360
of friends, my one mom friend, Laura, the one who's the one

153
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:24,320
whose daughter I always have to like
repeat this for people, but her,

154
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,440
she's my mom that I met,
og mom friend, first true mom friend

155
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000
I had that I met at Mommy
and Me. Yeah, and our daughters

156
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,360
have been friends for their whole lives. Yes, they we met when when

157
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:37,679
they were six months old. But
she likes to have a party at her

158
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,200
house every New Year's Eve for the
parents or for the parents and the kids.

159
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:46,320
It was so funny because it was
a this is one of those awkward

160
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,440
things which I'm sure you remember from
when our kids were a little bit younger.

161
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:54,840
But she was trying to have it
be for adults. But you know,

162
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,399
you get these people that are like
rsvping like with their kids. Yes,

163
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,639
like and then she she was like, yeah, so I mean just

164
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,120
FYI like this is like, you
know, adults party. But like she's

165
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,480
also not trying to be like you
can't bring your kids cuse she doesn't want

166
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:13,000
that to be a deal breaker.
But also like what she basically said,

167
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,600
listen, my kids aren't going to
be there, just FYI like yeah,

168
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:24,279
so but then some of the kids
came, but then they were like,

169
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,000
we're going to do something with each
other and we're probably going to go out.

170
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,480
But then they were like, oh, appetizers, so they were kind

171
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,960
of like pouring themselves drinks, got
my kid. My kids weren't there,

172
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,600
and then you know, just like
hanging out in a corner. This was

173
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:46,159
kind of funny, and Laura was
telling me after she was like, yeah,

174
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,799
it was kind of awkward because I
told some people like, hey,

175
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,279
no kids, but then here's some
kids that are like, well, they

176
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,039
weren't supposed to be there, but
then they're like, oh, well why

177
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,399
wouldn't we be here. There's like
free alcohol and food. So they were

178
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,200
hanging out. Then they finally left, and then really it wouldn't it didn't

179
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,759
matter. It was like chill there
maybe like fifteen of us. Yeah,

180
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,159
we were talking. Susanna and I
were talking about this last night because she

181
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,200
stayed home with her boyfriend, didn't
do anything, and uh, we were

182
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,799
talking about because we're going to have
our ABC girls night, like instead of

183
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,120
doing it, do the holidays everybody's
so busy. We're doing it this Friday,

184
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,639
and it's like, it would be
great if we could all get together

185
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:31,519
have a New Year's Eve party.
But the problem is is, like Susanna

186
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:33,320
and I, our kids are grown
and they're not hanging out with us on

187
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:37,039
New Year's Eve, right, But
the other girls at ABC have little kids,

188
00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:39,679
and what do you do? You
know, it's like, well,

189
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,320
then whose house are you gonna have
it at? And then the kids like

190
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,039
it? And then if I had
it, I guess I would say bring

191
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,159
your little kids. So I guess
you got to do that, Like you

192
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,080
know, it's just you never you
just don't. Nobody has a party.

193
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:58,240
That's what ends up happening. Well, the funny thing is, so we

194
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,200
have a neighbor. Our neighbor messaged
me they have a like a one year

195
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,000
old kid, and he messaged me, Hey, is there any way either

196
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,919
of your kids would could babysit for
us on New Year's Eve? We'll pay

197
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,879
two hundred dollars. We're only going
to be gone from like seven thirty to

198
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,960
twelve thirty. And so I was
going to enlist Sadie and Xander at a

199
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:18,360
babysit for them. Because I was
like, what are you guys going to

200
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,799
do in New Year's even nothing?
Dad and I are going somewhere, but

201
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
they're not gonna want to go,
so they were like, well, okay,

202
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,799
And then then the guy, I
think he got nervous because he has

203
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,519
a one year old, so oh, I said, you know, when

204
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,559
my kids were little, never went
out on New Year's I think we went

205
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,080
out one year because our ex nanny
at the time. So I had a

206
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,919
nanny from the time that the kids
came home from the hospital till they were

207
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,840
like two, almost exactly my nanny, Liz, because I was writing a

208
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:54,000
book. John was working full time
and I was on a book deadline.

209
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,039
But the second the kids started going
to preschool, I did not have a

210
00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:01,279
nanny. But she's still like friend
of the the family, so we could

211
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,799
call one year and she's Jehovah's witness, so like her, he didn't celebrate

212
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200
any holidays, so it's kind of
yeah, it was kind of great,

213
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:16,039
like she was available for stuff.
You don't celebrate birthdays like, although they

214
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,080
do celebrate anniversaries, so I'm not
one hundred percent sure they don't do New

215
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:22,960
Year's but anyway, one year she
came over and babysat on New Year's Eve

216
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,279
and we went and did something other
than that. It was like too expensive.

217
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,360
Nobody was available to babysit, so
we never went out. Now,

218
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,639
I would say that the last couple
of years is when my friend Laura started

219
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:39,399
having a party and we, oh, like a couple of years ago,

220
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,120
we brought the kids to her house. Yeah. Remember last year was the

221
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:48,519
first year they stayed home alone.
Uh huh. So they were just had

222
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:52,080
just turned fifteen, so we left
them home alone, and this year they're

223
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,879
sixteen. So anyway, they were
gonna babysit, but the guy got nervous,

224
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440
I think, and like went out
to a bunch of people and then

225
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:03,480
got some y'elle said yes. So
by the time I asked the kids,

226
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,159
which was, you know, like
whatever, he was like, oh,

227
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,799
never mind, I got somebody else, and I was like okay. So

228
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,240
I told the kids, you guys
can invite people over. So they invited

229
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:17,879
some friends over. So we left
them home alone with us out of the

230
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:22,320
house. I bought them like cupcakes
with like I bought them like New Year's

231
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,399
Eve cupcakes. I made some onnion
dip. I ordered them some pizza.

232
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,399
I was like, have a good
time. I pulled Xander aside and I

233
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:37,679
was like, listen, motherfucker.
You know there's alcohol in our liquor cabinet.

234
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:41,399
We know exactly how much we know
every single one of those bottles,

235
00:16:41,559 --> 00:16:45,279
Like what's in there? And I
said, and here's the thing, Like,

236
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:49,039
I'm not saying that you're never going
to experiment with alcohol. Uh huh.

237
00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:53,720
I know that it leaves Xander has
not up until this point, just

238
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,679
because I know that kid very well
and I know where he is at all

239
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:03,440
times, and he's not been in
a situation to anyway. Anyway. The

240
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:07,039
point is he was like, Mom, I wouldn't. And I was like,

241
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:10,960
no, no, I'm not saying
you would, but like you're having

242
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:14,640
some friends over, and like,
I know, I know what I was

243
00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:17,599
up to at your age, and
what I was up to was like,

244
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,680
hey, do your parents have any
liquor in their cabinet? You know?

245
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,440
And I was in a special case. Yes, did I turn out to

246
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,359
be an alcoholic, Yes, But
that's separate from the fact that all of

247
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,680
my friends were like, let's rate
our parents' liquor cabinet. That was a

248
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,079
that was what you did, right, New Year's Eve? Are you kidding?

249
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,880
Yeah, I would have been like
New Year's right. So I said,

250
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,680
it's just the problem is, you
know, we're not going to be

251
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:45,799
home and if somebody doesn't know there. I'm not saying like I would ever

252
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,960
sanction it, but I'm saying,
what's dangerous is that? Again, I'm

253
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,480
not saying like, oh, if
we're home, it's okay, of course

254
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,640
not, but I'm saying, I
know, I'm seek gone. If you

255
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,880
guys got into the liquor cabinet and
some one of your friends was like,

256
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:03,319
Hey, I'm gonna pour myself some
vodkas. It's vodka, you know,

257
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:07,480
then we could come home to an
emergency situation. I was like, so

258
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,720
you tell your friends, Hey,
my parents are real hard asses and they

259
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:17,000
know what's in there, and it's
just not okay. And so Xander was

260
00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:21,119
like, okay, of course,
don't worry about it. And then when

261
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,079
we debriefed the next day, he
did tell me that one of the kids

262
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,000
that came over was complaining. But
this this one of the kids was like,

263
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,279
they go to a school where like
all ages of kids hang out together,

264
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,440
you know, because it's so small. So one of the kids who

265
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:44,200
was like a junior apparently was just
like, well this sucks, like no

266
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,519
booze, like no pot, like
you know, let's go find a real

267
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:55,920
party, you know. And Xander
was like, heyw but end of the

268
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:59,640
night we came home and that person
that he's talking about was like happily eating

269
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,640
pizza, needing a cupcake mariot,
So I guess he had nowhere to go.

270
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's kind of funny.

271
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,240
So how is your party? Well, let's take a quick break and I

272
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:17,599
will tell you. But you know
what's speaking of partying? Not already on

273
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,000
our feet? Oh yeah, okay, sure, party on our feet.

274
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:27,079
Bombas we love Bombas. Yes,

275

Yeah. You know who was there, Our our buddy Adam Lerner extraordinaire.

292
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,279
Yeah, and I showed him.
There's some people made some Facebook posts

293
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:55,759
about Adam and how we love yeah, and he's not in the group.

294
00:20:56,039 --> 00:21:02,039
So I was like, he was
kind of drunk, which was hilarious.

295
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,000
Yeah, and he was telling me
stories about the different people from for crying

296
00:21:06,039 --> 00:21:08,000
out, like oh really helped get
cars? Yeah, oh cute. Yeah,

297
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,720
and then he was gossiping about nobody
from f c OL, but somebody

298
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:17,000
who was like super difficult, you
know. I like stories like that.

299
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,720
Yeah, he was somebody that was
like driving him crazy. Uh. He

300
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:23,839
says he loves all f c OL
people. He's like, you guys have

301
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:29,160
the best people, the best listeners
do. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah,

302
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,880
that's nice. So since I just
said that Adam's got a car dot

303
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,519
com, go to his website if
you need a car broker to get you

304
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:38,559
a car. Yeah. So he
was there because his wife, Cecily,

305
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:44,319
is my really good friend, and
it was like, you know what it

306
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:48,160
was. I you know, I
don't know if you know this, but

307
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,079
I don't drink, so what I
know, crazy new information. But it's

308
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:57,799
when you don't drink. I'm always
happy afterwards because like I don't have a

309
00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:02,279
hangout. Yeah. I always think
like there wasn't really any reason to anyway,

310
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:07,039
but always in the moment, even
when people my age are like people

311
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,759
were doing jello shots, you know. So I was feeling a little bit

312
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,599
like, okay, well, like
how much cheese can you really eat?

313
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,039
I sort of like sat in one
place and just like took all comers,

314
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:21,400
you know, like if you're sitting
next to me, I'm gonna have a

315
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,880
conversation with you. You get to
know. So when when a friend of

316
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,720
ours, like in our big friend
circle, the husband, I'd never really

317
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,119
had a long conversation with him before. I didn't know him that well,

318
00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:36,720
but he happened to be sitting next
to me, so I was like,

319
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:38,880
what's up with you, what's your
deal? And I heard his whole,

320
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:45,960
like a whole story about freaking narcissistic
parents, and I was like, Okay,

321
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,759
I hit the gold mine, you
know. And then he and I

322
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,319
sat and talked about like our n
parents and you know, being estranged from

323
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,839
this one or that one. And
I was like, by the end of

324
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,880
it, I'm like, this is
how it used to be when I was

325
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,559
doing cocaine and you'd find out a
bunch of stuff about somebody because you were

326
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,960
super interested in their lives. And
I was like, oh, I'm high

327
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,960
on life and finding out Yeah,
And I felt closer to this to this

328
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:15,200
guy. I already knew the It's
one of those things where the moms,

329
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,880
the women go out sort of for
to celebrate each other's birthdays. We'll all

330
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,240
get together, but usually we don't
bring the husbands to that, right,

331
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:29,000
So I hadn't had I haven't really
sat and talked to him before. It

332
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,640
was nice. Yeah, that's nice. That's awesome. Yeah, and John

333
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:38,240
went John went to Yeah, uh
and he he had some good conversations.

334
00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:42,039
It's always good to get him out
of the house. That's awesome. Nice.

335
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,400
Let's let's turn the heat off because
I'm like in asana right now.

336
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,440
I'm just gonna say I'm for once, I'm feel d thoded. Oh.

337
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:57,559
I think it's because I'm like,
yeah, I'm sitting here, I'm in

338
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,279
the line of fire. Yeah,
Kaylin, you don't even have to edit

339
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,920
that. Let them see, let
them peep by the curtain scenes. Yeah.

340
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:10,960
So just know what a diva I
am about room temperature. Yeah.

341
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,559
So, anyway, got home,
the kids were fine. I have to

342
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:18,880
say it was like the first I
was the year before, leaving the kids

343
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:25,839
home alone. I was a little
bit less comfortable. I mean I was

344
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,920
comfortable, but I was a little
bit like, oh, we should get

345
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,720
home to them. You know,
we had just turned fifteen. But for

346
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:36,680
some reason, they're they're like adults. I know, they're different. It

347
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:40,240
is year between fifteen and sixteen is
a big one. Yeah, yeah,

348
00:24:40,599 --> 00:24:42,920
I could see that. Yeah,
it is, it's it's it's different.

349
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,599
My kids were in New York for
the week of Christmas and I went to

350
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:56,839
a crazy Christmas Eve, no Christmas
Day story. So was in Chicago and

351
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:03,960
got to so I got into pretty
late. And it's a tradition that they

352
00:25:03,079 --> 00:25:10,039
we go to Bob Chin's seafood restaurant
in Chicago, Okay, and for Christmas

353
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:12,319

my favorite food. I well, all

oysters December thirtieth. But go on,

357
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:33,160
well these they are crabs. Their
crab legs are just like eating a steak

358
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:34,920
when you take it out of the
shell. Oh my god, I know.

359
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,200
So you know, it's the tradition
for Italians seafood on Christmas Eve.

360
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,000
Blah blah blah. So I was
coming in on Christmas Eve. I was

361
00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:49,680
getting in late, and they made
reservations the latestest possible, like eight forty

362
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,559

there, I get in the uber,

363
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,079
I go to Bob Chin's it's like
the doors closed. It's like, oh,

364
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,480
it's Christmas Eve and it's cleared out
by now. Now it's like ten

365
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:06,079
o'clock, ten thirty, but they're
still open. They're still open. There's

366
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,960
probably a couple of tables. My
family's there, you know, and a

367
00:26:10,039 --> 00:26:14,039
couple other tables of family, and
that's it. It's Christmas Eve. They're

368
00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:17,200
wrapping it up there. They want
out, right. Oh, so they

369
00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:22,319
stopped serving or whatever. So Wendy
had like three crab or four crab legs

370
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,680
that she kept for me. So
I was that's all I needed. I

381
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,400
the four crab legs, so they're
wrapping it up. So we were done.

382
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:11,640
We get in the car. Nicholas

00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:23,079
which is nice. So I'm staying
with Wendy. So Nicholas drives us,

386
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,519
drops us off at Wendy's at Wendy's
house. Now, Wendy and I are

387
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,720

She's tired. You know. She does

every Christmas morning everybody she had everybody
bring their gifts to her house drop them

389
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,200

place and everybody opens presents, you know,

390
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,359
and she does this whole Christmas day. She gets bagels from Coffin's Bagels.

391
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:51,119
She gets corned beef and roast beef
and egg bread and rye bread and

392
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:55,960

00:27:56,039 --> 00:28:00,920
called wait what is it. It's
a French toast casserole. Oo, oh

00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,880
my mother, It's like delicious okay. She so she's got it all made.

395
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,880
She showed me. All she has
to do tomorrow morning is just she

396
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,960
doesn't have anything to do. The
house is clean. Just put the food

397
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,720
out, pop the thing in the
oven. Done, you know, everybody

398
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,599
come over and just graze all day
and eat and open presents. Okay,

399
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,799
So we go to bed. We're
like, we didn't eat anything, we

400
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,720
didn't drink anything. We got home, she showed me the food whatever,

401
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:30,200
went upstairs to go to bed.
Our plan, well, her plan was

402
00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:33,799
she wanted to get up first thing, early in the morning, at like

403
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,039
seven, and go to Nicholas's house
because Nicholas had the new babies only six

404
00:28:38,119 --> 00:28:41,960
months. It's his first Christmas.
So she's, you know, wants to

405
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:45,880
spend Christmas morning with him and then
come back to the house. So I

406
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,519
said, I'll go with you.
Wake me, you know, wake me

407
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,440
up. So seven point thirty,
I think, or eight o'clock I wake

408
00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:59,640
up, and she didn't come and
wake me up. And I go into

409
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:07,079
her room and she has been throwing
up, coming out of both ends all

410
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:12,720
night long. Her arms, her
fingers are tingly. She can barely talk.

411
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Food poisoning, shellfish, shellfish,
food poisoning even could have been batchulism.

412
00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:25,599
Oh it couldn't. It was it
because and I come to find out

413
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,559
later she was, uh, I
think it was Nicholas's wife or my somebody

414
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:33,640
said that they were. They She
was opening up one of the crab legs.

415
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,759
All of them were like the regular
size big. There was a smaller

416
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:42,279
one in the bunch, and she
cracked it open and it was discolored and

417
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,559
weird, and then she took she
she ate, but she ate it anyway,

418
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,920
but she was like, this is
weird. And then that she got

419
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:57,319
sick. Oh wow, So yeah, she was not this is She's like

420
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,400
thinking she's going to ruin Christmas,
because you know, she's the one that

421
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,599
hosts Christmas. She didn't get it. She wasn't able to go see the

422
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,319
baby, you know, blah blah
blah. So I knew, like it

423
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,400
could have been like a virus,
but I was like, no, she's

424
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,240
got food poisoning. It feels very
food poisoning. And we just ate at

425
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:21,799
a shellfish restaurant. And if you
look up the shellfish food poisoning on the

426
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,240
CDC, which we did, she
had all of the everything, every symptom.

427
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,400
She couldn't she could barely speak.
So my nephew came out, came

428
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,079
over early. Matthew came over really
early to help, you know, like

429
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,440
because at first I was like,
well, we're gonna have to postpone Christmas.

430
00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:42,920
And she was just like barely,
like in her sickness, like just

431
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:45,839
get the food out, Just put
the foods. Everything's here, Just get

432
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,440
the food out, you know,
blah blah blah. So Matthew came over

433
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:52,640
him and I he helped me.
He's like, this is how my mom

434
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:56,480
likes to put the plates out,
you know, this is the platter she

435
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,440
likes to use, you know,
which was nice that. You know,

436
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,480
you never think your kids are paying
attention, right, you know, right,

437
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,960
So it was really sweet. And
so yeah, I mean if it

438
00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:11,000
was I basically hosted Christmas, oh
wow, put the food out, I

439
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:15,000
mean, then you know she could
like thankfully, she did everything. All

440
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,559
you had to do is so she
told me what to do about the castrole

441
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,559
just put it in the oven.
There was a French dip art to choke

442
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,599
dip, No, not French ship
art to choke dip that she makes that

443
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,519
she bakes in the oven. She
makes it from scratch and she's put down

444
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:33,160
in the oven. Other than that, everything was like everything was there,

445
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:37,799
all out, every and then everybody
came over and we opened presents, and

446
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,960
she was deathly sick all day,
the whole day, yeah, and through

447
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,079
the night. The next night.
She got better as the day went on,

448
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:49,440
she stopped throwing up, you know. And you know, she did

449
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:52,079
come down for a little bit while
the kids open presence, you know,

450
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,119
because she hears her grandchildren downstairs and
they're like no, Na, na na.

451
00:31:56,279 --> 00:31:59,359
You know, she says, like, I gotta get you know,

452
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:04,240
she can pull herself up and go
downstairs. So she sat downstairs and she

a hard day or recover from a workout.

00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,559

00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:19,440

do that, I sleep very soundly, Like I don't wake up, I'm

like, really, like, we're
promoting our kid getting a tattoo, and

I was like, she's gonna do
it whether we like it or not,

593
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,119
so like and we don't know it
toget her, so let's get her that.

594
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,639
And then Sadie came in clutch for
things to get Elby. Sadie sent

595
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,039
me like a whole Look, she's
good a gift, Sadie. Sadie is

596
00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:53,960
super sentimental, she's great at gifts. She knows everybody really well. She

597
00:42:54,679 --> 00:42:58,960
I took her shopping. We went
to Sephora and she was like, Okay,

598
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,559
we go here and this, this
is what's on TikTok and this is

599
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:04,239
what's on TikTok. And I know
that Albie, you know. And we

600
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,800
always laughed at Elbe's a basic bitch
and she likes what everybody else likes.

601
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:10,960
Sadie's like, oh no, I
got her, like we're gonna get her

602
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:15,000
this and this. So that was
and so she told me that Elbie would

603
00:43:15,039 --> 00:43:21,199
want the define jacket, the Lulu
Lemon define jacket. You heard of this,

604
00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:24,159
No, apparently it's been around forever, but suddenly it's sort of on

605
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:30,599
trend. It's just like a tight
Lulu Lemon jacket, like like a like

606
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:37,679
workout jacket yeah, and I was
like okay, like okay, So I

607
00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:42,920
estimated her size and I got the
jacket and oh my god, biggest hit

608
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,920
ever. Like she freaked out,
like, oh my god, how did

609
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,880
you know? Like that? I
was like, Sadie, did you know?

610
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,599
It's just so funny because I'm so
glad I have the younger sibs tell

611
00:43:58,679 --> 00:44:00,960
me what to do. It's nice. I know, I know Xander is

612
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,960
a typical boy and didn't know,
Like was like, I don't know what

613
00:44:06,039 --> 00:44:07,880
should I get, Sadie, what
should I get LB? Like, you

614
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,760
know, yeah for him last minute, doesn't like to go to the mall.

615
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,159
Yeah, just like Sonny. For
Sonny I got. I was excited

616
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:22,159
because so I text his co host
Gabe on Benchwarmers and I was like,

617
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,199
I want to get Sonny a cameo
of somebody, and I wanted to do

618
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,320
stephen A because Sonny loves stephen A, gets a kick out of him.

619
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,280
And I think, if you know
stephen A is, he thought he would

620
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:37,119
think he would do a good job, right, but uh probably does He's

621
00:44:37,159 --> 00:44:44,679
not on yes he is, and
Chris collins Worth he likes to not on

622
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,199
cameo. So I text Gabe and
I was like, okay, like what

623
00:44:47,519 --> 00:44:51,199
athlete you know? And he goes, you know Sonny's been talking about And

624
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:58,239
also Sonny asked for a Italian horn
necklace this year. Really, I'm like,

625
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,199
and I think the boys and boys
that hung out on the corner in

626
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,880
Springfield, Massachusetts. Yeah, And
I was like, oh, hell yeah,

627
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,280
I'm getting him that. So I
got him that. But then so

628
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:17,239
Gabe's telling me this this football player
Tommy DeVito on the Jets, okay,

629
00:45:19,639 --> 00:45:25,159
the Giants, same thing. He
does this. He does this thing after

630
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,159
he does a touch or after he
does a touchdown, or after he does

631
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,000
something on the field where he does
the thing where the Italians where they put

632
00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:37,760
their you know, fingers, what's
the matter for you like with his hand.

633
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,000
That's a signature thing, his signature
move. Sonny has been talking a

634
00:45:42,079 --> 00:45:45,079
lot about him, I guess on
the podcast and he goes, he's on

635
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,800
cameo. I think he would be
perfect. So I got him a cameo

636
00:45:49,039 --> 00:45:52,440
Tommy DeVito and didn't come through.
And he didn't come through yet. It

637
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,280
said it said, you know,
seven days or whatever, and then it

638
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,719
said Tommy needs more time. But
I've been looking at him on cameo,

639
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,400
and he's posting cameos in the month
of December, so he's doing them,

640
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:07,159
okay, but he needed more time. I guess some matter of fact.

641
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,000
He's a backup and so he was. There's a stretch there where he was

642
00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:13,440
playing for like, you know,
every week for three weeks in December,

643
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:15,880
so he was probably a little busy
at that time. Yeah, oh no,

644
00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:22,599
wonder Okay, I'll give him some
slack. It's funny because so the

645
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:28,679
twins' birthday was November twenty sixth,
so a month before Xander got Sadie a

646
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,039
cameo. Now, I wish I
could tell you, guys exactly who it

647
00:46:31,159 --> 00:46:35,519
is, but I will tell you
it's a mom from Dance Moms. And

648
00:46:35,679 --> 00:46:38,559
then apparently this was like a full
on funny joke. And I guess the

649
00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:45,320
mom does like a that this woman
does like a confessionals or I don't know,

650
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,159
it's something that is her signature thing. So Xander wanted her to do,

651
00:46:50,039 --> 00:46:53,039
asked, requested that she do her
thing. But like for Sadie,

652
00:46:54,199 --> 00:46:59,679
so doesn't come through. Doesn't come
through. Now it's late and Xander's like,

653
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,280
I know what the deal is.
But same thing where they have seven

654
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,360
days. But at seven days,
it was like she needs more four time,

655
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:08,440
right, so like another like maybe
four days. So it was after

656
00:47:08,639 --> 00:47:14,000
the birthday right now they're back at
school because it's after Thanksgiving break, and

657
00:47:14,119 --> 00:47:16,719
then it comes in and Xander forwards
it to her phone or whatever, and

658
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,159
she played it in the car and
it was the funniest thing because she was

659
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,440
scream laughing. Let's see, it
was like the biggest hit. She was

660
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:28,280
just like wow, and it was
like, oh my god. And this

661
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,800
woman was terrible, like she was
messing up. She was like, okay,

662
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:36,599
Sadie or set oh. She she
got her name wrong at one point,

663
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,079
but then kind of got it right. But it was like but it

664
00:47:38,199 --> 00:47:42,400
was so bad that it was hilarious, right, and then she would be

665
00:47:42,639 --> 00:47:47,679
like, now you're turning sixteen years
old, but in December, but it

666
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,480
was like no, her birthday had
already pat like she had the dates right.

667
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,440
But it was so funny because it
was so I guess typical of this

668
00:47:54,679 --> 00:48:00,440
woman right right that it was a
classic, like it was everything brand.

669
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,239
It was so unbranded. It was
really long, so I just went on

670
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,920
for like two minutes, like two
and a half minutes. Now, just

671
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,920
hert talking and going, that's good
to know that they come through, because

672
00:48:12,039 --> 00:48:14,719
yeah, I told Sonny I couldn't
hold it bout it. I was like,

673
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,480
well, I got you a cameo. He's like, I go,

674
00:48:16,639 --> 00:48:19,440
do you want me to Italian?
He's like, no, let me guess,

675
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:21,840
you know. And then he was
like a baseball player, I mean

676
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,840
a basketball player, a football player, and he goes somebody on the rams.

677
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,280
He kept saying rams, I go, no, no, East Coast

678
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,559
and East Coast, and then he's
like east coast and then he did say

679
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:37,239
like two people. And then he
said, and I go no, and

680
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,239
I go. I said, and
I did something and it didn't do the

681
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,400
Italian thing, but I don't know. And then he goes and then he

682
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,840
guessed. He goes Tommy, look
Tommy DeVito, and I go and he

683
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:51,800
goes, no way. He got
so happy. He's like, when's this

684
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,079
cameo coming. I'm like, it's
coming, it's coming. Oh, I

685
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,760
love it. I love it.
Yeah, I'm excited. And what did

686
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,880
you get from Italia? Tell you, I just got like clothes, a

687
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:07,400
bracelet. She wanted from that,
Like, there's this like trendy bracelet shop.

688
00:49:07,679 --> 00:49:12,599
I've seen it. In Studio City
or R John or something like that.

689
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:19,800
Okay with her initial and I got
her What did I buy her for?

690
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,760
Oh? I got her a nice
purse because she was going to New

691
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,800
York. And this bitch uses my
purse all the time, like for everything

692
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,079
I see her, like in pictures, She's got my purse, like she

693
00:49:30,119 --> 00:49:34,159
doesn't have her her own purse.
I got her nice like Tory Birch.

694
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,880
She likes that. So I got
a Tory Birch purse and that was her.

695
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:42,760
That was her gift. Cute.
Yeah, yeah, then and they

696
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,440
were off. Yeah I was for
some reason. I know that, Like

697
00:49:46,639 --> 00:49:50,639
a long time ago. I was
like, you guys, I am on

698
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,239
top of the Christmas list. I
already ordered some stuff on Amazon. I

699
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:57,320
was all proud of myself, like
patting myself on the back, like I

700
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,119
got this. No, by the
time Christmas rolling around, I was like,

701
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:06,199
I don't have enough for this.
I get so caught up and like,

702
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,760
well, now Sadie and Xander have
me and a lot of stuff,

703
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,760
because I'll forget that I what I
got them, and then I'll just get

704
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,320
them Like I have a list,
I keep it. I call the document

705
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,599
taxes so that nobody bothers to try
to look at it on my computer,

706
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,280
even if they're yeah. And then
I just keep a list of what I'm

707
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:29,719
getting for everybody. But still it's
like some of it is small, or

708
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,239
some of it I put down like
that that it's an idea, but then

709
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,519
I haven't actually purchased it yet.
So then I get all of a sudden,

710
00:50:35,559 --> 00:50:38,679
I'm like, I don't have anything
meaningful for this person. All of

711
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,519
a sudden, I was like,
oh my god, I don't have enough

712
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:45,119
for LB. But then but then
John would be like, we bought that

713
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,119
bitch a car, and I'm like, I know, but that was then

714
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,840
that was really we called that graduating
high school gift. Like I get very

715
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,480
like, well, we got them
this for their birthday and this for that,

716
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,719
and so it just becomes a whole
like I know, me feeling guilty

717
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,519
and wanting to spoil my kids,
but then maybe want toil them too much

718
00:51:06,679 --> 00:51:08,519
and not wanting to. You know, it's so hard. It's a hard

719
00:51:08,599 --> 00:51:12,880
damp it is, it is,
But you know, they're getting older now

720
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:16,320
and it's getting easier actually because they
starting to like see it, like all

721
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,760
right, you know, we don't
need all these Bresons, you know,

722
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,320
which is I actually got the best
gifts from my nephews this year. I

723
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:30,239
forgot from Nicholas. He gave me
he knows that I like to play Fortnite

724
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:35,280
on my phone. He got me
a controller that slides and goes and hooks

725
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,920
onto your phone so you can play
with the actual proper controllers instead of you

726
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,199
know, instead of swiping and you
know, pressing on the phone, you

727
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,320
know. So I got the controllers
that hook onto the thing, which was

728
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:52,639
awesome. I love it. And
then Anthony. I was at Anthony's house

729
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:57,199
last year and he's got this post. He's got a picture that he blew

730
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,679
up. He took when he was
working out here on Kimmel and he was

731
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:02,039
stuck in traffic. He just took
a picture of like the one oh one

732
00:52:02,159 --> 00:52:07,320
in downtown, just sitting in traffic, and the way he had it angled

733
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,000
it was very cool looking. And
he blew it up and framed it and

734
00:52:10,079 --> 00:52:14,039
it's in his house and I go, mother, Anthony, I didn't want

735
00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:16,000
that picture. That's so cool,
like that would look good my condo.

736
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:21,400
That was last year. This year
he got me the poster like blown up,

737
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:24,119
big framed, said, had it
sent to my house. Yeah,

738
00:52:24,199 --> 00:52:30,119
my gosh, that's so nice.
I know. Yeah, so those were

739
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:35,199
that was my Christmas. Yeah,
that's so nice. Yeah, I love

740
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,960
it. And and how was opening
the I mean, we know your we

741
00:52:38,079 --> 00:52:42,920
know your story about over Christmas,
But how was it with the girls?

742
00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:45,920
Did they like your stuff? Did
they like the car? I love the

743
00:52:45,039 --> 00:52:50,280
car? They I took him around
the block in it yesterday over who gets

744
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,800
to drive it? They love the
car? They I mean, they got

745
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:58,199
so much stuff they got. They
liked these little Bluey toy you know,

746
00:52:58,519 --> 00:53:00,079
you know the show Bluey. Yeah, yeah, they love Bluey. So

747
00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:02,800
I got a bunch of Bluey toys. They like that. They've just been

748
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,519
playing with all the diff they got. We've been playing. They got candy

749
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:09,599
Land, so we've been playing some
candy Land. And yeah, it took

750
00:53:09,599 --> 00:53:14,519
them a minute to adjust to playing
a board game when things don't go their

751
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:17,719
way. Huh. So we're trying
to learn that. Yeah, sometimes you

752
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,400
don't win. Times you have to
go back to the start if you get

753
00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:23,559
if you go to this point,
so, oh my god, that is

754
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:29,800
okay. Shoots and Ladders and Candyland
were like the first couple of games that

755
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:36,119
elbe learned to lose because she would
get so pissed at like four years old,

756
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,639
so about the same as your kids. And I remember writing an article

757
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:45,159
for some column that I was doing
because Elbie was full on trying to cheat

758
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:50,880
at Candyland. She thought she was
being slick and she took the ice there's

759
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,119
the ice cream sandwich is like all
the way towards the end. Right,

760
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:58,320
it's the ice cream cone is all
the way towards the end. Oh well,

761
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,239
it used to be old school old
candy candy Land was an ice cream

762
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:05,559
was an ice cream sandwich, and
it was all the way towards the very

763
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:07,400
end. You like, if you
got that card, you were gonna win.

764
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:13,800
So Albie would take the card and
put it like a couple like timate.

765
00:54:14,199 --> 00:54:17,159
That's it. She was smart.
But the thing is, like,

766
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,880
I wasn't sad to lose. Remember
me telling you that. I was like,

767
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:24,719
okay, you like I saw her
do it, and she thought she

768
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:29,119
was slick, and then she'd get
the card and be like I win like

769
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:30,599
she and I was like, so
you do, okay, what do you

770
00:54:30,679 --> 00:54:35,360
want to do now? And she'd
be like, wait, what can we

771
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:40,199
play again? Like okay, but
you won so like it's over. Yeah,

772
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:45,800
but she would get so so mad
if she and shoots some ladders,

773
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,679
if she fell down like and went
back to start, she would like cry.

774
00:54:50,159 --> 00:54:52,960
Yeah, I mean it was not
fun. Now. When we first

775
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,679
played it, Iowa won like four
games in a row. So she was

776
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:59,760
like high on candy Land. And
I think at one point she did the

777
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,880
same thing. I think at one
point she placed one of the candies at

778
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,480
the very top because oh, first
card, I go all the way up.

779
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,360
And I was like, all right, whatever. But then we play

780
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,119
the next day and I don't know
exactly what it is. It's like two

781
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:14,039
sticks that are crossing and if you
land on it, you go back to

782
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:16,880
the start. So she was a
happy win in every game. Let's play

783
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,320
candy Land, and then as soon
as she hit one of those sticks,

784
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,360
it was a nightmare. She was
like screw this and stormed off to a

785
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:29,639
room car. Well there you go. She can't always win. It's like

786
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,119
hilarious it is it is in nature. Yeah, yeah, oh my god.

787
00:55:34,199 --> 00:55:37,559
And I remember when I wrote that
article, somebody was so judged.

788
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:40,400
But somebody was like, oh my
gosh, like you're raising your kid to

789
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,199
be because I had allowed her because
I was like, that's fine that you

790
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,159
cheated, like you were teaching your
kid terrible values. And I was like,

791
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,239
this is the person who's never had
a kid, right, exactly,

792
00:55:51,519 --> 00:55:54,719
teaching them bad values. Like she's
four, probably going to get into finance

793
00:55:55,519 --> 00:56:00,679
for her, should be a lawyer. I don't know, but like,

794
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,400
I don't see how that is a
harbinger of bad thing, right, Yeah,

795
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,079
it was ridiculous. Yeah, there
was another funny thing that happened.

796
00:56:07,079 --> 00:56:08,360
I wasn't there, but Amy called
me to tell me about it, and

797
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:13,400
we just don't know where the girls
pick up, like the language. But

798
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,840
they got this other game that's called
Pop the Pig, where you just like

799
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,800
feed this pig hamburgers and press it
down and eventually like it pops and you

800
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:22,000
win. Well, it got it's
like Phil exactly, pop the phill.

801
00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:25,840
Yeah, take the pig to the
vet to get its stomach pumped. So

802
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,280
I guess her name. You were
playing. One of the little hamburgers got

803
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,639
stuck in the pig and so he
was like broken, and so they were

804
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:36,360
trying to fix him, and Amy
eventually you know, got the hamburger out

805
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,000
and fixed it, and I went, oh, yeah, Now the Pig's

806
00:56:38,039 --> 00:56:46,400
not canceled. Oh my god,
that's amazing. You gotta have to keep

807
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:50,039
like a log of the things they
say. Yeah, that's what I did.

808
00:56:50,199 --> 00:56:52,880
Bet, Yeah, it's fun.
Yeah, that's so funny. Yeah

809
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,519
