I made a decision. I'll face sunny sad on. I had a vision.
So what's up? Everybody? Welcome? Sorry I cut you off.
You did go, hey, you don't have your boot on. I don't
have my boot cut me off, but you didn't kick me. Oh,
I don't have my boot on. Congratulations. Well not so fast. Oh
no. So I had three more weeks to go got the boot off.
So Monday I was supposed to be able to walk around with no boot on.
So I think I was last Monday, I was here with no boot
but it's still it was still hurting. So I was like, right,
I remember that too, So we couldn't right, okay. So I was
enthralled with our guest. I loved Laura. She was awesome. She's so
great. Okay, So I wasn't looking at your feet. So I was
like, my foot is still hurting. But I maybe I'm just being a
I don't know. Could I just be being like a baby about this,
Like maybe it's supposed to still be kind of sore. I don't know.
So I made an appointment with my orthopedies doctor with the foot and ankle doctor,
and I went back in and he pressed on the where the break is
and it fucking hurt. I screamed, and he was like, okay,
that's not good. So then he did another X ray. He was like,
well, I still see the the crack basically fracture. Yeah, the
fracture I see still still because the line well, no it's a full it's
a fracture. But it's they what he's how he described it as the bone
didn't get displaced, but it's still a break in the bones. And he's
like, I can still see it, and he goes and I don't really
want to be seeing it at this this. I mean, it's been a
long time, over like nine weeks, you know, over two months.
It takes a long time. So he said a couple of things. He
was like, well, I want to do a CT scan because if I
need to see like the whole, I need to see if it actually is
still broken or if the if it's filled in. But I can just still
see it. There's a lot of factors, he said. If it's if
it's still a break and it's not healed, then that's what's causing the pain.
And then you then my next move is to put you on a bone
stimulator, which of course, John immediately asked, can I put my penis
on that? Because we're in the sixth grade. Bones, It's like that
sounds like something. Yeah right. So apparently this is a piece of medical
equipment that they bring to your house. I don't, you know, like
when you can't breastfeed, so they give you like a hospital grade pump and
it's a rental that medical equipment. Yeah right, so they anyway, so
first I had to get a CT scan. Let me just tell you,
this is like the most insane, Like, Okay, just go to your
nearest radiology place. He gives me a piece of paper. Here's some radiology
places near you can go anywhere you can probably walk in. So I call
the place that he referred me to and I'm on hold. They're not answering
the phone. I'm on hold them on hold, and I'm like, you
know what, screw this, Like, screw this customer service. There's a
lot of places I could go for radiology. I google radiology, I find
this. I find a place that's like in Tarzana. I call them.
It's like a it's like I'm calling overseas. I have expected chickens to the
roosters in the background, right, I mean this lady answers definitely sounded overseas
like an operator. I was like, hi, so, and you might
remember a similar story to this, and spoiler alert, it was the same
place that I tried to book my mammogram. I was recommended by my doctor
that they asked me so many questions you so they I get this woman on
the phone, I'm like, Hi, uh so, my I just found
out my doctor wants me to get a CT scan. Is it possible to
walk in? Or when's like the next appointment? I want the place in
Tarzana, okay, ma'am? I need like, what's your insurance? I
have to give her all this information, what's your data birth, what's your
insurance? What's your email? I'm like, I'm I swear to God,
I'm not making this up. She's like, okay, can I have your
height and weight? Okay? Whoa whoa whoa whoa? Whoa? Whoa whoa
whoa whoa? Height and weight? I was like, what am I dating?
I know exactly this is not tender, but this is I just want
to and and meanwhile, she hasn't even told me when the next appoint like
because if it's not for a week, like no. Yeah. So she's
like, well, yeah, I can't give you that information, ma'am because
we have to go through your We have to get this approved by your insurance
first, so we have to put in a thing, right, and that's
going to take three to five days. And I was like, well,
you know what, you should have opened with that, because I would have
hung up and gone somewhere else. I was like, my doctor told me
that they were going to have to approve my insurance approval. Oh, three
to five business days. So at this point it's a Monday, So I'm
like, okay, so basically I'm not getting this CT scan until next week?
Is that what you're saying. And she was like, yes, ma'am,
we have to wait for the insurance. But she just goes So I
was like, okay, thinks anyway, I'm gonna go somewhere else, okay,
ma'am. So I hang up on her. I hang up with her.
I call back the first place. I'm like, fuck it, I'm
gonna wait on hold. I wait on hold. It's not that long.
Woman gets on the phone. She's like, yeah, can you come in
tomorrow morning? At nine forty five. I was like yeah, perfect,
okay, So I go in the next day, nine forty five, go
get my CT scan, have a good day. Meanwhile, the first place
is now stalking me. I get like, I get a text from them
because now they write email addressed and my phone number. What is that?
So I get a text from them, Hi, your provider and then it
says unknown because they never got that FARR has scheduled you CT scan. Please
please schedule go into our schedule or and schedule it. It's like, oh,
suddenly you're able to schedule in my appointment. Suddenly I'm approved. Don't
get that? Oh my god? When I yeah, texting, emails,
three texts a day, emails, phone calls, yeah, I was like,
what is happening? Similar? Like that happened to me recently, Like
I signed up for some in Studio City, some like Pilate Stretch, you
know, trying to get back into the swing of things, and I scheduled
it and then I had to cancel it, and then that was it.
It was like text, phone calls, you know, showing up at my
door at seven am. Would you like to take another cluss? When can
we rest for another class? I'm like, I'm leaving the funk alone.
Maybe I broke a foot. Maybe I can't go to your stupid glass,
Like why I don't people they stock you? And John is like, just
block their number. I was like, well, I'm gonna have to block
them on email, block them on text. So the next time they called
I was, I was like, I was done number. I answered the
phone, Hello, ma'am, can you schedule you? And I was like,
no, I can't. Meanwhile, I told I said, I've already
gotten the results. I've already scheduled the CT, got in and had the
CT, and my doctor's already called me with the results of the CT.
Okay, So burn yeah, I was like, please take me off your
list, right, So they did. Okay, So the CT scan results
were that, yes, it's still broken. It's and he's like, so
next course of action as I gotta get you on this bone stimulator thing.
So now insurance is trying to approve that I should hear something today and he's
like, and we I'm reasonably sure that's gonna help. It like sends some
kind of like radio waves to your foot and it stimulates, uh, the
healing process, it speeds up the healing. That's great, he said,
you don't have to put the boot back on because it's not helping you that
much. So keep your foot in a brace and don't do anything strenuous,
don't walk much, stay off of it as much as you can. Wow.
Yeah, so that's where that's at. And he's worst case scenario surgery.
But my god, but he I think I said this to you before.
He was like, but the problem is if the reason it's not healing
is due to like osteoporosis or osteo perenia or something which means like precursor to
osteoporosis, that it's not going to help that much to do surgery, because
it will you'll it'll be forever to heal. So he's like, I don't
want to do that. Wow. So let's just hope the bone stimulator works.
Yes, I had aging sucks it does, you know? I hate
to like, I don't want to outer. But Olga is losing her hearing.
Oh no, she went because like we notice like sometimes that she's in
the there was a beeping going on or something. I go, oh,
that, where's that beeping coming from? She goes, what beat? I
don't eat? I go it was very faint I go you And by the
way, I don't have the greatest hearing either. I have captions on my
TV all the time, but I'm like, you can't hear that. So
she went to the doctor and they suggest for her to get a hearing aid,
otherwise it can get worse because then you the muscle memory. I don't
know, like they suggest, you know, she's I don't know, she's
not that much older than us. Like, So she went to the doctor
and she's She's like, I'm fine, I'll get it here, she said.
They've got some that are so little now that you just put there you
barely see it. She's like, I'm gonna do it. I don't want
to be like, you know, losing my hearing. I feel like we
could all use a hearing aide that. So now I'm thinking, shit,
I should go too, I should get my hearing readers, you know,
like just a little subt a little boost. Do you think doctor knock around
does the hearing test and stuff because I get a physical coming up? Probably
not? Yeah, probably not. He's always sending me to other people for
other few of the things. Yeah, he's always farming everything out. Why
can't he do it right? There. What do these primary carecusations actually do
right? Because spoiler alert, we could just I don't know why I'm saying
spoiler alert. So many times it's fun to say we just go to Quest
yes, get done right and have a different I don't know. There should
be like a like a lab person that just tells you your results, you
know Quest does. I did do that a long time, but then you
still need you gotta tuck around to call you and write. Which, by
the way, I had my blood work done that was like three weeks ago
and no one ever called me mom. Then good news. We should say
hi to our deep Let's do that? Why not? Sarah's the fun?
Oh my pies on? Leslie still go to the go to doctor, knock
around. He'll kill you, Yeah, he'll farm you out to somebody else.

earthquake yesterday? Did not feel the earthquake? All everyone else in my house
was like, oh my god, there's an earthquake. Do you feel it?
It's still going And I was like, I don't know. Did you
feel like calin Uh? Yeah, I felt it and only that. But
Amy and I took a vacation up to Santa Barbara, so we missed up
there. Yeah you missed. We missed it by like a day, but
we were right there when ye But yeah, I even still felt it in
Long Beach yet of it. But yeah. I if you're in the epicenter
of a five, ye, it's not that it's not that bad unless you're,
you know, in subterranean parking. What was the Northridge quake that was
like a seven something? Yeah, that was And I lived in Northridge at
the time, yes, but you know that was like a three bedroom valley
house on a slab and ain't going anywhere except I had all the ship in
my room that fell on top of me. But this time, yesterday,
I was sunny, was in Monterey. Natalia was at her boyfriends and I'm
just what do you want from Mami? And fell or just hanging out and
I was in the kitchen. It was a it was a six point seven
Northridge. Yeah, really six points that's what Wikipedia is saying. I don't
believe it. I don't trust I thought it was a five point five Northridge.
Oh Northridge? Yeah, yeah, oh six point seven devastating and in
ninety four. Yeah, that's how that does sound about, right, huh.
I felt like it. But you were in the episodes in the epicenter.
I was in Santa Monica, but I fully felt it. Yeah,
Santa Monica got hit bad. Yeah, but I mean you were it's kind
of far from us, but we felt it. I mean, everybody evacuated,
everybody ran out of it. We've talked about this, but so yesterday,
my I have this my Shake thing. I don't know how I found.
I put it on my app, an app on my phone that's supposed
to tell you when there's an earthquake or it's coming or I don't know.
I signed up for it a long time ago. My Shake. I think
it's called I don't know. So as you know, I'm sure you've guys
gotten the you know, flash flood warnings on your phone, which is startling.
I got one at three thirty last night, in the middle of the
night, and of course woke me up, didn't go back to sleep to
like finally fell asleep at like five thirty, then got up at like seven.
So thank you for that flash flood Like, I don't need a flash
flood warning. I'm in my bed in my house and there's no water around
me anyway. This app thing, though, so I'm used to hearing the
flash food warning, but then this app thing, my phone goes off and
it was a different sound, but it sounded like official. It was like,
yeah, it was a different. So I grant a war, right,
So I grabbed my phone. I look at it and it says five
point one. It says like five point one magnitude earthquake. And right after
I read it, I felt it interesting. Yeah, yeah, so yeah,
I mean it was it was whatever. But like then I call Sunny
Sunny's in Monterey. I'm like, did you feel it? And he's like
no, And then I'm worried about him driving home in the rain, like
last night, all the way from you know, they got a four hour
drive in this rain. But yeah, and then so they drove last night,
Yeah, they drove home from Monterey. Why didn't they just stay one
more night and drive home today when it was not raining anymore? Because would
Adam do that, Kalen, No, Yeah, that's not Adam. And
I think reports were supposed to say it was going through today as well,
right, So I don't know, maybe you're thinking, well, if it's
going to be going all day Monday too, then what's the difference. But
well, by night it wasn't saying that anymore. Though by last night it
was, well, I mean, yeah, he's he's drawn as the opposite
of Adam. John was like John was ready for us to like, move,
let's take a quick break. Yeah, and I'll tell you so,
as soon as we were hearing about all this storm activity, John is like
he turns into like an old man. And even if he listens to like,
I'm not bagging on him. It's just kind of funny how different our
personalities are. And you need that, I guess you need. He's very
overly cautious. Like I said, he becomes like the old guy, like
constantly watching the news and reporting to me that the newest, the latest on
the storm and where it's gonna hit. And I'm like, all right,
Like I'm a little like him, like I want to know what's going on,
right, but I'm like it's probably I'm always like it's probably not going
to be that bad, right, this is what we do. And you're
like, Adam, I'm like, you know they always say that and then
it's always downrad Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I even said to you,
Lynnette. I texted you guys and I was like, okay, so
they're supposed to be this crazy storm. Do we want to postpone till tuesday?
And you said, well, it's actually supposed to be, Like it's
actually already downgraded and it's not supposed to be that bad on Monday, and
Kaylin was like an adam. He was just like, well, I'm gonna
be driving anyway. Like I was like, long Beach is supposed to be
hit worse, right, he's gonna be driving out in that. But anyway,
I had a storytelling show over Zoom last night, right, So that
was during the worst of it. From the morning, John is like haranguing
me about like, well, what are you going to do about like your
show tonight? And I was like do it? What do you mean?
And he's like, well, I mean they're power outages, Like you know,
they're supposed to be power outage, power outage? You did oh yeah
last night in the morning. So I'll tell you this other story. So
Dawn spent the night. It's a whole other story, but it was.
Yes, the power went out like first thing in the morning, and I
kept getting texts like the power is gonna go out and spectrum like the WiFi
is gonna go out. So I was bracing for it. And then it
did go out and it was out like until like one o'clock in the afternoon,
but not because of the storm. Yes, because of the storm.
But the storm didn't even hit until like later in the day. For me,
it was pouring rain like eight am. Oh really yeah it was.
It was non stop rain from eight until, like I don't know, all
the way through the night. Well then I'm the asshole? Am I the
asshole area? So I was like, it's not supposed to even really hit
us that hard. I said, I've heard reports that it's going to hit
Hollywood. And John's like, well, it doesn't just like spare and see
know, And I was like, well, I think it kind of does,
Like I don't anyway, I said, well it's already been downgraded,
and he's like, well, I just think. I mean, I said,
what do you want me to do? Cancel the show? But his
chance But like I was watching the news on my direct TV cable whatever you
call it, and it was freezing and this isn't like you know, at
like six o'clock last night, so six o'clock was my show and I said,
well, look, you know, if it goes out, if the
power goes out, I think people will understand. And he's like, well,
I think you should compose. He wasn't joking, because we almost had
a little argument about it, because I was like, are you trolling me?
He's like, I think you should compose an email that you could send
out to people. I was like, well, if the internet goes out,
then I'm not really going to be able to get on event Right and
send an email to everyone. And he's like, well, you can still
send an email from your phone, and I was like, I mean,
point taken. I did look up my event right passwords so that I could
get in an email everybody. But I was like, I think people are
going to know what happened, and but I did. I was like,
I'm not canceling the show, Like I'm gonna do the show. If something
happens, then one of the co hosts of the show can take it over
and finish the show. Yeah, but I'm not gonna, like, I'm
not living my life as if like the world is like this is the apocalypse,
It's it's a rain. It was. I was in the middle of
you two because I was fine if I didn't have sunny driving back from Monterey,
I agree, And then Natalia was just, oh my god, I
just saw a huge rat run across the fence outside and then I mean that
thing was huge. Uh. And then Natalia, you know, it's pouring
rain. She's at her boyfriend's hunkered down, which is not far and then
you know they're not broken up yet now still together. But they were fighting
the other night on the phone and she was crying and they were screaming,
and then the next day she spent the day together. I love this kid.
I just I wanted to be nice to him. I overheard a couple
of things about what they were fighting about what I guess, well, now
we're just changing stubby. But whatever the storm happened and about say lovey,
Well, I was just gonna, yeah, go ahead, I'm gonna finish
off by saying nothing happened, right spoiler alert, just kidding. I'm gonna
stop saying that nothing happened. Showing fine, it was great. It was
like a great show. No, In fact, I've had shows in the
past. My last show, the girl who was going last, her internet
went out and she got knocked off the whole thing and had to come back
in and somebody else like kept freezing this one. Nothing, no problem.
Everybody did great. Nobody's internet was even funky at all. And Uh,
I was like, yeah, in your face, John and it was raining,
and then it's us it was raining really hard, and then and then
this morning, and then John was like, well it's still it's supposed to
be. And we were getting all the alerts on our phone too. Woke
up this morning. Sun was out, Sun's out, guns a perfect day.
I'm like, angels just feeling good. Yeah, yeah, okay,
So what were they fighting about? So, you know, he she's she's
she tells me that she splits her time between her friends and her boy and
she's trying to be you know, uh, diplomatic to everybody. I mean,
we've had this conversation before. And then she went, he doesn't really
like he doesn't go to parties with her, but she goes with her like
close friends. Whenever there's a party. There's always some party anyway, So
she went to a party Saturday night. My girlfriend Dawn came over and spent
the night with me Saturday night, and hot, I love don but I'm
gonna bag on her for a little bit. And it doesn't matter because she
knows, she understands. She's not gonna listen. But even if she did,
she'd be laughing because she she knows, she knows how she is a
little kookie. But anyway, so Don spends the night Saturday night. She
likes to go to bed early. It's kind of like being with my grandma
when she's over. Now. She used to be my best friend. I
mean, she still is my closest friend, but she you know, she
used to be have a great time, like have a lot of energy,
but now she's just kind of like slow moving, she kind of hot.
Like she just had another seizure recently, so she was in the hospital and
she had really high blood pressure, and you know, she's got a lot
of health issues and she doesn't like she had a she has a empty nest.
Her daughter's twenty six and out of the house, and she lives for
her daughters. I was gonna say, yeah, you know, yeah,
you went like her daughter was her life, you know. And she'll tell
you. She'll say, like, you know, if if if Jorda and
her daughter's on a train track, oh no, no, what does she
say? She says, if Steve her husband. She loves her husband,
Steve, they're very close. If Steve's on the train track and a train
is coming, this is what she says. And Jordan calls and needs her
she'll be like, good luck, Steve. I hope and pray for the
best. Anyway, So she's lonely, you know, and she's got all
little health issues and her husband is retired, so he's home a lot,
and she gets you know, the two of them are. She gets sick
of being with him all the time, and she likes to get a get
away. So once in a while she'll come spend the night with me.
So after her hospital stay, she she comes over on Saturday night to spend
the night. But uh, so we're hanging out. We were watched we
wanted to watch a movie, and I was like, you know, what
are we gonna like? You know, let's watch something really good. And
then she's like, well, you've seen all the Twilight series, right,
And I was like I almost I almost said yeah, yeah, yeah,
but I was like, no, I haven't. She goes what and then
she then she calls Jordan because her and Jordan, you know, Jordan's older,
so is Twilight was their thing, you know as she was growing up,
so they read all the books, they went all the movie. She
would be like if I slept over at your house, and I was like,
you've seen Gilmore Girls right, right, let's started episode one. Yes,
not that I my kids and I never watched Gilmore. I know a
lot of people love it, but I'm just saying that's like, yeah,
okay, that's what you do with your teenage daughter, not with your like
friend exactly friend. So she's like, you've known. So she calls Jordan.
She's like, Antie Lynette has never seen what you know? How many?
How many nieces do you have? At this point, I know she
calls me Auntie Lynette. She calls herself Auntie don When she's talking to Phil,
right, Oh, she loves Phil. What do you doing? Little
Like? She talks to him like, what are you thinking, little boy?
I got you a little treat, Like was this at your house or
your condo? In my house? Okay? She shows up with sold yet
No, no, we had a leak. Now we gotta get that fixed.
There's some mold. Now we gotta get that fix. It's just never
ending. It's a pain in the ass. But so yeah, so she
comes over and uh wants to watch Twilight. I was like, okay,
okay, so we start watching it. Boom she falls asleep. Oh my
god. You know, it's like eight thirty nine o'clock. So I was
like, done, done, you're snoring. You want to go, Let's
go in my room. We can finish watching it there. Now I'm getting
into listen. I didn't read the books or anything, but you know,
so when you're watching the movie, she knows what's going on, but I
don't know what's coming, so I don't know there's a wolfpack involved, and
so she's filling me in so I have to constantly wake her up and go
down, what's going on with this scene? Here? Who is this?
Have you watched Twilight? Kaylan? You Arkian, don't bother. I'm aware
of it and the story, but I haven't actually seen and to be honest,
and I told her, I said, I don't really want to watch.
You know. The reason why I'm not interested is I know the whole
story of those actors, and I know that she's kind of like a pissy,
like got an attitude all the time. When I see her on the
red carpet, I'm not like, she's not like she's a beautiful actress.
I'm sure she's good, but I've always been and he turns me off to
they're always on the red carpet like they're fucking pissed off, you know.
And then and not only that, but that's what got Robert Pattinson really famous,
right, Oh yeah, and he's such a good actor, and it
took so long for me to get that Twilight ick off my body. Oh
no, he's actually really good, like I'd just see him in so many
other things. Oh my god, Kaylin, you nailed it, that ick.
That's what yeah, I was. I was turned off by them,
so I didn't really want to. But she's so we start with the first
season, I mean, the first movie whatever, and I gotta constantly wake
her up, and she's snoring so loud. Oh gosh. But then Natalia
comes home and I can hear, you know, like anytime to Italia's home.
I know she's home because bo, like Sonny walks like a cat.
You don't know he's there, you know, Olga walks regular. Natalia doors
opening doors because she's just so aggressive. And I hear her in her bedrooms
underneath my I hear her like screaming. But she's with her friend Tessa,
and I think they're laughing. But I didn't know what was going on.
It was like eleven thirty and I go downstairs for something, and I hear
her like crying, and I was like, oh, she was like hitting
the floor, like like she was mad, and she was like hitting the
floor and she said, I'm paraphrasing, but she said something like listen.
I pushed him off of me. I pushed him. He tried, she
tried to kill go in for and I pushed him off of me. And
I'm telling you the truth. I'm being honest with you. I don't want
you to hear from other people something like that. Oh, And I was
like, oh shit, who the fuck does she have to push off of
her? By the way, who's coming on to? Like should I be
upset? It's some guy try to I don't know, like what or is
it just a kid from school? I don't know. So she's crying hysterically.
I go and open a bedroom toor did she make out with somebody else
and was afraid that he was going to find out? It could have been
that too. I don't know, But I don't know if Natalia is like
that, to be honest, she's I don't know. I mean, i'd
like to think that it kind of wants to break up. I mean,
well, now she no now she's been very happy. I pick her.
Oh, I haven't even told you she's got a job now, So I
pick her up, and I'll tell you that maybe we could save that Friday

time to talk, Okay, well all right, So anyway, I walk
in the bedroom. She's happy with him now, she's been happy because I've
been spending time with her. And she's telling me, like, I don't

and then she doesn't. She doesn't She's gonna see how it goes,
I guess, is what she's saying. But anyway, I walk in and
as soon as I opened the door, she's crying. She's in her pajamas.
Tessa's got her arms wrapped around her like these girls are so cute.
They're so cute, Like her arms in a like a you know, a
bear hug all the way around, both arms. Right next door, she's

something that Okay, yeah, So Italian is like, you know, going
into her senior year, she's super focused on getting good grades, taking all
the classes. I had to sign her up for Spanish three to take online.
What do they call in s in sync synchronome? What do they asynchronous?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah. So she's taking
So she's super focused. And I was like, okay, but you should
get a part time job some you know something. She's like, yes,
she's so, she's been thinking about it. She doesn't get her license though
until October, so you know, I've been driving her around. Olga has
been driving her around. But so then she's like talking to her college counselor
and she mentioned to the counselor that when she went to New York, her
father's friend, Garag Goos offered her an internship job and you know, and
so I was like, she was excited about it and she wouldn't have happened.
And she was like, what do you think? And I was like,
it seems like it's going to be a lot, but if you know,
I would love for you to have a job like that because you can
see what it's like to be, you know, working in the real you
get those skills, like that's what I did, Like I started working in
an office and you can develop those you know, real life skills and then
we're instead of working at a as a hostess or something, you know what
I mean, which is fine too, but and she's really interested in in
in that, Like she's interested in like cases and laws and like what Mark
does. She's always been in but she you know, I've been telling her
since she was five, you should be a lawyer. But she's like too
much schooling for me. I can't I can't focus. That's how I felt.
Yeah, yeah, I was like, love to argue, don't like
to learn, right, exactly, that's her exactly. So anyway, so
it came up again with her, and she's like, so she sent me
a text and she's like, I just got off with the counselor. She's
like, she suggested, you know, I should look into it. What
should I do? And I was like, well, you should write to
Mark and send him, you know something, And so I helped her craft
a text to him. You know, dear mister Gierra Goos, I would
love the opportunity. You know, she wrote most of it. She read
it to me and sent it to him like on a I think it was
like on a Monday afternoon. Responded back right away. We have an intern
that's leaving. We need help. We would love to have you. You
know, it's for college, you know, it's to look good for you
know whatever you're saying. Yeah. So she's like, oh, okay,
what should I do? And he's like, show up tomorrow at the courthouse
and downtown LA. I'm gonna be there in a court in the in the
you know, doing his thing in front of a judge and jury and everything.
He's got a case that he's going to be working. He's like,
you can come there meet my intern. She'll be there. You can see,
you know, she'll walk you through everything. So you had to drive
her downtown though to you even said anything else? No? Right, no,
right, So there's no good way to get there. There's no good
way to get downtown. That would be a full time job for you driving
her. What are you supposed to do? Linger downtown? Right? Go
walk the streets of downtown where? Wait? So I know, so that's
all I kept thinking about is And then I'm like, well, she's gonna
get her license. But then when I make that drive, no fucking way,
you can't even drive down there. So well they have the parking okay,
so let me let me finish this. So sorry, So I'm just
upset, I know. But like Olga's gonna start earning her paycheck now,
Oh of course, yeah, because there's days where I'm not there and Olda's
going to be there at the house, like you know, because we're nesting
and stuff. Anyway, Yeah, when I drove down there, it was
I was like, oh, hell no, she's not gonna be able to
drive. And I got my navigation telling me go left here, and then
I miss it and then you gotta go right and there's all one way street.
It's a it's a nice so isn't the time that court is in session
also the time that school is in session. Well, I mean she's she's
going early to classes they have like in senior year. Sunny's got the late
freight. She's getting there or she wanted to get there, you know,
at eight thirty. So she's out of school by I think two o'clock or
two oh five. So she gets picked up. She changes. Oh okay,
So the first day, he meet me at the court and I'm not
at the house this time, so I was like, Olga, you're gonna
have to drive her down there. So Olga drives are to the courthouse.
But from now, I was like, how did my job just get hard?
After he's on street, She's like, ask taking care of Adam.
Now I'm just picking up dry cleaning from Adam up the street. Now I
got a drive to downtown LA. So she's not even taken her to the
office, which his office is close by there, but but it's not walkable.
You can't walk from the courthouse to his to his office. So for
his for her first day, he says, meet me at the courthouse.
So she gets dropped off and by the way it happens, so that night
I call I call an Italian go, Okay, so you're ready to go
tomorrow, what are you gonna wear? And she's like, I don't And
I go, you can't just show up in your little freaking you know,
Brandy Melville tee show or baby doll t shirt and you're you know, yeah,
and you're you know, belly hanging out and stuff. And she's like,
well, I and I go, get a blazer. I go,
what do you wear? Because then she's at school and she and I was
like, okay, just get a black blazer out of my closet, swear
a white T shirt where she has paint her pants that are kind of cute.
Where are those? So she wore that with a black blazer in her
tennis shoes by the way, because she doesn't fit in my shoes. She's
her she's got a big ass feet. So anyway she goes, she gets
dropped You have big feet these days, I know. She gets dropped off.
She sends me a text and she goes, I'm here at the courthouse.
She goes, I can see Mark in the in the in the room
of the trial and he's doing his thing. And she's like, I don't
what should I do? But it says, you know, there's a thing
on the door that says, you know, don't come in and less blah
blah blah. So she sends me a text and I was like, well,
text the intern and you know. So she's like, I text,
I text the intern and a mark and I said, I'm here. I
said, okay, that's all you need to do. Just wait, I
go, you're gonna be waiting around for a while. It's like okay.
Then I text her a couple I don't know. An hour later, I'm
like, are you still waiting? She goes, no, I'm in the
him in the room now watching. And later on I asked her what the
case was about and she's like something about gas leak or something. She's like,
I wasn't. I was kind of confused. So she's like, I
wish I would have, like, you know, known what the case was
or whatever. I go, you understand he's a criminal defender? Like she
goes, yes, Mom, I'm not stupid. I get it. It's
like, okay, just want to make sure you know who you're working for.
So I have a one quick question, Yeah, is there anyway you
could get me an Internshi, right, I know, because like I think
I would enjoy it way more than she would. Right. No, She's
like, she's so so. One of the things is is that she's doing
for free. She actually all right, you can drive her. Then there
you go, that's a deal. There you go, okay, perfect.
I get real competitive with her. It becomes like a weird situation where explaining
about me all the pure out of the way at the fax machine. I
got it, I got it, so she she was telling me. So
she went that first day, but from now on she's gonna go. She's
been going to the office and the intern is leaving at the end of this
month. She's been there for three years. She's gonna sometimes go with Mark
to the to the to the trials, and she's gonna be reading what the
cases are and all that. But she's also going to be doing a lot
of filing, a lot of xeroxing, And she's walking to the bank up
the street every day. And when I picked her up the other day,
one of the first things she said is I gotta get some mace. Oh
my god. Yeah, And I was like, yeah, you're right,
and she's like, yeah, it's because I mean, it's but she she
is loving it, and you know, it's bustling. She's like, I
feel like I'm in New York and she's like, I feel like I'm actually
doing something like accomplishing something, you know, for you know, for the
good. Like she's like, I'm helping, you know, Like she feels
like she's doing an accomplishment every day and she likes she's getting fulfilled with it.
That's so exciting. It is, it's so good for her, right,
So what am I gonna do? Tell her? Like, hey,
take the bus? I wish there was a metro. I don't know,
but there is. Yeah, but I don't know what stops exactly, but
you could look it up. We're gonna look it up. I mean,
this has just been she's only been like so Monday through Thursday. Every day
she has to go Monday through Thursday, she gets dropped off after school.
She gets picked up at five. So between me and Olga, we're working
it out and I actually don't mind it. I am enjoying it because I
get to I like picking her up because then we can talk about everything.
And then she's asking me questions like what do I do if that you know
she had to answer the phones. So one of the days, it was
the first day I was going to pick her up, and I didn't want
to bother her, so I was like, where am I going to pull
up to pick her up? I mean, I know that it's there's no
stopping. You know, you can't just pull up in front of the this
is you know, Victory and Van Eyes right versus downtown La. I mean,
the streets are moving, there's no pull over. I can't pull over.
So I call the front I call Garrigos and Garrigos the front desk to
see if the receptionist, like I wanted to ask her, like I'm picking
up my daughter, where should I pull in? And the phone rings like
four times and Natalia answers at Garygos and Garagos, can I help you?
She knew it was me because she saw my number, but she's still she's
answering phones too, like who love it? That's crazy? Yeah? And
she's going to the bank. She's doing banking stuff. She's reading a lot
about the cases she's filing. Do you know she's doing If I'm Scott Peterson,
like do I want like a seventeen year old answering the phone exactly.
Yeah, uh yeah, is Marked there right? Collect call from Modusto.
Now he's like in, uh, he's at the real He said, Rikers
Island, West Coast. I need to oh Rikers. No, it's not
Rikers, but it's something equivalent to that on the west. Where is Scott
Peterson? How's that Galen? Yeah, we need a producer on this.
Yeah it's and yeah. He's like Mark was trying to get him a new
trial, which I need to tell Mark that's ridiculous. Number one. I
got in an argument with Mark about the hot car dad, remember that,
And he told me that he would not want me on his jury, right
right, Yeah. Jury's a white woman, just a white mom, like
yeah, now, always going to be saying guilty. But I was like,
no, you don't understand. I listened to the Atlantic Journal right podcast
about it and drew my own conclusions. Yeah, not at all swayed by
what they said on the podcast I listened to, right. So he wasn't
san Quentin there. Then he was transferred to Mule Creek State Prison. The
fuck is that a year ago? That sounds easy? Yeah, because he
was moved off of death row San Quentin. Oh, that's right, I
remember that a year ago. Well, now Mark's working on the on the
Menendez right right right, and you know, on some gas leak and some
gas lak. I know. But you know, like Natalia knows all about
the Menendez thing because she it's I guess her generation. They they're seeing it
on TikTok. Oh. Yeah, yeah, so she's she's she's all right
up on it and she's all schooled up. But I know, can I
just say that on our Thursday show this week Elby? Yes, We're doing
a whole show with Elby. I cannot. So we'll have more hot job
talk. I'm so excited. I'm college talk. It's f funny that in
Italia because Elby got her first job literally a couple of months after turning seventeen,
so the same exact timeframe, right, I'll be turned seventeen in November
and then applied for her job and then was working there right after the holiday,
so in January. Yeah, you know, I wanted Natalia to have
that, you know, and she's gonna do it like eventually, you know,
she's gotta look here, she's got to look for her own job.
And it's not handed to her, you know kind of thing. But does
she get paid? No, No, No, it's totally unpaid. Yeah,
like most internships, ye are unpaid. Yeah, I feel like there
are a lot of paid She's too young for the paid thing. I think
you got to be in like enrolled in college or something. I don't know,
she I don't. She's just she's doing it for her resume and her
experience. Okay, and we'll see how long she she can do it.
And she's just don't know if she's now like you know, she's done her
whole schedule where she's like, I'm going to and she did this like three
days last week. She went to school. After school, she changes in
the car on the way to the court out to the office. She gets
picked up at five, she makes her you know, Barry's boot camp or
whatever pilate class she's or you know, there's a YMCA things she's doing now.
She's going there at six thirty seven o'clock. And then she has a
class where she can do homework for an hour at school. It's directive studies,
you know, so at least she's got that hour at school to get
her school work done. But yeah, I mean she's like, I gotta
get my work out in. I'm like And then the Thursday, the last
day, she was gonna go work out at the Y and I was like,
are you really and she's like, yeah, maybe not. I was
like, yeah, bitch, relax, slow the fuck down. Wow,
that is a lot. It is a lot. So I really see how
long this. It's funny though that when she was little, she was go
go, go, go go, what's next moment? What are we doing
today? What are we doing now? How about now? And now she
can do that for herself, right right, And you don't have to feel
