update about Phil okay, m He's okay, okay, But I think I
told you he had this little little growth on his eyelid, on his bottom
lid. So when he went to his fat camp, his summer camp,
right when I was dropping it was right like a day before it was dropping
him off there, I noticed this just a little like sty, look like
a sty on his eyelid. I don't really think anything of it. And
then I drop him off and he's there for a few weeks because we were
selling the house and moving. And during that time, she sent me a
picture and she was like, have you noticed this thing? And she sent
a picture and it got bigger and I was like oh, and then she
like towards the end of his trip, she showed me another picture and you
could tell it's like his whole eyes irritated around it, and it's gotten bigger.
It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And I was like, oh
shit. So I took him straight to the vet like a day after he
got home. It was last week, and they they took so they do
the whole check thing, you know, they look at his teeth. He's
got a cracked molar which is now infected. Yeah, that has to be
dealt with. And then they got the sky that's getting bigger, and they
said, okay, it's not cancerous, but it has to be removed because
it's you know, irritating him. And his mole needs to be checked.
And then he's got all these lumps, you know, like on his not
all he's got like yeah, he's got like three. Now he's got like
four or five that are popping up, which are not cancerous, but they're
getting big, and they're like he's laying on it like they need to be
drank. I know, I know, but Molly, every time she got
a lump it was cancerous. It was horrible. But knock on wood,
Phil, everything is O okay. So he's got to have surgery this Thursday.
I know, I hate it. So he's gonna have some stuff done
at the same time, like they want to do his moler his eye,
and his they want to drain his lumps at the same time. And I'm
like, why at the same like because they so they don't have to put
him out multiple times probably exactly right, hurt, right, the tooth won't
hurt. That won't be that bad. Once they they'll probably remove the tooth,
right, and that would feel better. I will be the worst because
he'll have to wear a cone. He's gonna have to wear a cone probably,
yes, for everything, you know, yeah, like for well,
for his lumps and ship all over his body. That's probably gonna irritate him.
Yeah, he's gonna have to wear a cone, which sucks. But
yeah, so he's gonna be under put under. But but he's been put
under before. Yeah, so he said surgery before he said surgery. So
I don't know, I just hate it. But we'll see. But uh,
that's that's the update on Phil Well Penelope. Remember she had that giardia
thing with her stomach and she had to be on all these meds and I
don't know, I still think something's up. Well, she's not having diarrhea,
but she has these really smelly farts now smell really like Sulfrey. Yeah,
but I don't know. She's already had two rounds of the meds for
the giardia stuff, so I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, I'm
just leaving it because right like I don't know. Yeah, and then she
had to have she takes medicine for her arthritis. But like, man,
once your dog gets to be a senior, held's phil he's still young.
He's no, he's uh, he's gonna be eight in September. Okay,
well that's still young. He's middle aged. Middle aged. I mean Penelope's
like thirteen, so yeah, well twelve or thirteen, she's old. And
they make you get blood work every six months, twice a year in order
to keep prescribing them the pain meds. And it's freaking expensive to get blood
work, you know, I don't care where you go. They charge you
an arm and a leg for it. And it's not really covered with my
pet insurance because it's it's just because it's like they counted as maintenance. So
like just like your dog's physical isn't paid for like well care. It's more
for like if something's wrong, So they don't care about the fact that she
has to have a blood test to take her medicine. Yes, like they
don't. So that was but anyway, but they told us that they did
blood work and told us everything seems good with her. Well, that's good,
that's good. I don't know what it's going to show up in a
blood test, because I'm just saying. The only reason I say that is
because she has hell alone on her body too. But I think that would
show up in the blood work if they were cancerous. Yeah, I think
so too. And don't they test it the lumps. They haven't been tasting
them recently. She had that one thing that was was a cancerous thing that
they took out. Yes, yes, so they took that off and they
said that they felt like they got it all. And then the lumps that
she has are not those type of timbers. They're like fatty yeah, then
lumpy yeah yeah, but she gets those. She has a ton of them.
And do they get bigger? Are they getting bigger? Yes? Yeah,
some of them are cut they're just she's just lumpy. Now. I
know there's a bunch in different places like phil Yeah, but if they but
a lot of times they come right back when you drain them. Yeah.
One is really there's a couple that are really big, and I think they
bother Phil when he's laying down. Yeah, you know, and especially we
don't have couches right now, so and he doesn't lay in his bed,
I bottom of doggie bed. It's kind of on the way. It's a
better one. And we'll see if he likes it. Looks like a little
mini couch, you know, so hopefully you'll like it. But when are
you gonna get couches? Will you have much? I well, I ordered
it. I ordered a couch, so it's coming. Yeah, but it's
gonna take it's gonna take you know, four to six weeks and ship.
But and I ordered it about two weeks ago. Okay, did you have
to like measure? Like, had you seen him out? Yeah, Wendy
and I did our research. Okay, yes, I went and tested it
out. Liked it. And they the color though that they that I was
abnormal, just a gray like gray. They didn't have that. They said,
if you wanted that color, it's gonna take you know, four to
six weeks. So it's gonna take that long. But I got the carpet
in you know, the area rug I got that and then I have the
chairs from outside, which are hold that those are working just great, because
then like Sonny was watching the fight his friends in the chairs, you know,
so at least we have that outdoor furniture inside and I'll hold us over.
I don't know how to like maintain. Okay, here's member of my
story about how the dishwasher broke. Yeah, okay, so that was like
in December, last December. Okay, dishwasher breaks, and we were I
told you this story already. We called our guy O, our our applients
guy, and he told us what the part was, and so he ordered
the part. But the kitchen floor, as I've told you the story,
is too high with the tile with the tile, and we only have one
tile left that needed to be saved. So then both John and I are
bad about this. We both get paralyzed with like okay, we gotta get
a handyman. So we look on next door. But then like I call
different people, they give you like these crazy high quotes like you're out of
your mind. You're gonna charge us twelve hundred dollars to like come and take
some tiles out and hang up a picture, like go fuck yourself. So
then you do. But then it's like start over. Like then I then
I get like a like a bunch of energy and I'm like, I'm going
to take care of this tile problem today, and I call like four more
and then run out of steam. Then I run out of steam before any
of them come over. Right, So then we finally this this went on
like three different times. Yeah, well because our appliance guy went to Egypt
for like who's going to be all that? Remember that. He's like,
oh, well if you don't, you don't get this done by like January
thirty. First, Like, I'm out, what's he doing in Egypt?
And does he make enough money to go to Egypt? He's rushing too,
I don't know. He has a family there, so I'm going to see
his family. I'm like, really when I need you Like, no,
oh, that's when you need to see a family. Come on, come
on guy. Anyway, So so we forgot about him for a while and
we're like, well, nothing to do now. So we did our own
dishes for a while. You know, Oh gosh, that was actually got
used to it. Yeah, you know, we eat a ton of takeouts,
so it's not like we're making that many dishes. But did I ever
tell you that Xander has like a weird He's got some sensory issues, and
he has a weird thing with plate with paper plates. Oh really. He
doesn't like the feel of paper plates, so he has to eat off regular
plates all the time. So, you know, we go through a lot
of paper plates. We're like always, we're having a constant picnic at our
house. I know as too. Everything is on a paper plate for us,
totally right, yeah, yeah, I'm microwave penelopees food every morning on
a paper plate. Throw that shit away, right, you know if I
can. Especially when we weren't able to put the dishes in the dishwasher,
right, it was like, why are we paper plates? Are we using
the good plates when when we have to wash them? Right? You know?
Okay? And by the way, I get Xander because I have this
weird thing with cardboard. Oh he has it with car and paper bags.
I don't. He does too, That's what he says. I hate.
And then when we were packing and I'm unpacking, I'm like, you know,
I'm like I have to wear like my smoking gloves to touch the cardboard
because it makes me. I don't know what it is I don't like it,
like cardboard and paper balls. Funny, that's how he is. Yeah,
and he tries not to make a big deal about it because he has
like a few of these things, view these weird like sensory things, so
he really tries not to be a bother about it. And he'll like,
if I forget and put something on a paper plate, he'll go, that's
okay, mom, don't worry about it. And then he'll take his thing
in and go put it on a regular right, but like I feel bad,
you know, So anyway, he has to use all the regular dishes.
So anyway, you know, then our guy, Morad is his name,
Our appliance guy's back. But now we're like still it's square one of
like finding somebody to come take this tile out, and a couple of people
I did. Somebody did come over and he was like, yeah, I'm
not gonna be able to take this out without breaking it. So then I'm
I find this one guy. Yeah, I think this was I had told
you guys this story the last time I was here. We found a guy
and he was all like mold like he's like, oh, yeah, i'll
get a problem. I got you. I'll take out. I could.
I can easily do it. And I was like, okay, name that
tune, you know. So we get this guy. So then I think
I told you where I last left you. He kept flaking. Yeah,
he was like he was like, all right, I'm gonna be there tomorrow
morning, ten am, you know. And then nothing and then I'm like,
hey, dude, like let's call him. Dude, Hey dude,
you still come in And then don't hear anything. And then I get oh
but the first time, remember he was like, oh I'm in traffic,
and I'm like, okay, so what's your each raa and he goes,
well, the ETA is not today, not today. Yeah. So then
I'm like, oh, okay. You know, in my mind though,
I'm like, well this guy, I'm not starting over. This guy says
he can take the tile out. Yeah yeah, take that tile. So
I'm like, okay, well when can you come? Uh, okay,
I can come. I'll come like tomorrow in the morning. I'm like,
okay, great, doesn't come that day, you know. Then I say
okay, listen, like are you coming or not? Like I need to
get this done. So then he says, okay, I can't come until
this was like, on a Friday, now Wednesday, but I'm putting you
in my calendar. Apparently he didn't put me in his calendar before, so
I said okay, great, okay. So then he came over. I
don't know if we've gotten this far in the story. Last time he came
over, he got the tile out, he cracked the he broke one tile,
but the second tile that he needed to not break at all, he
did crack. But we're like, it's all right, we glued it.
Yes, we glued it. Okay, so didn't break it apart though,
So we're like okay. So he's like so, we're like, wit,
so you need to come back. So now we had to get dishwasher repair
guy. Okay, So dishwasher repair guy is he's on it. We love
Morod. He's like, I'm coming, Okay, I got you, I'm
coming tomorrow. Comes the next day, repairs. The dishwasher works perfectly now,
and we're like, okay. I text our guy dude. I'm like,
dude, so the dishwasher is fixed and this is the next day,
Like, so when can you come back? How soon can you come back
and put the tile back in. He's like, oh, I can't come
back until next Thursday or whatever. So this is like a week away.
Well, now, beggars can't beat you. Oh, I should tell you
this. I should tell you this. So he quoted us three hundred and
sixty dollars to take the tile out and hang a picture up on our wall.
Okay, So he took the tile out and he hung the picture up.
But that was including him coming back to put the tile back, which
is another job. So that was all together. So I said, okay,
I'm gonna pay you half and then I'll pay the other half when you
come back. And he's like, mmm, pay me two fifty now.
I'm not a good negotiator. Something to know about me. I'm not good
in a crisis like that where I'm like uh. So I was like,
okay, especially when you need this guy. Oh. I wanted to pay
him two hundred with the three sixty and he's like two fifty. Can you
pay me two fifty now? And I was like, no, not until
you come I know, but I did. I was like, I had
my phone out, I'm already doing the zell and I'm like okay, and
John's looking at me now and I'm like okay, so I pay him the
two I pay him two fifty of the three sixty, right, but I'm
like, he's still still all one hundred and ten dollars. I don't know,
okay, Okay. So I texted, so he says, okay,
I can't come for a week. Let's say this is on a Thursday.
He goes, okay, I can come next Thursday. Okay. I guess.
I'm like, if that's the only time you can come, okay,
Now, I got to read you our text exchanges. And by the way,
this has to do that much. You can only be there for like
what an hour? Maybe? Right spoiler alert, he's never come back.
But uh no, yeah, this is a while ago. Okay. So
here's our here's our text exchange. Okay. So oh okay, so this
was Thursday, May ninth. I go, what time are you coming today?
So remember he says, oh okay, okay, so postpones, postpones,
postpones. Then he comes and then on Wednesday, May first, so
this is a while ago. Now he's like, I'm on my way.
I'll be there in thirty minutes. This is He's supposed to be their first
thing in the morning. Now it's almost noon, I'll be there in thirty
minutes. I go great, I am super nice this whole exchange. It's
never been me being Karen like it's all okay. So then so that was
Wednesday. So the very next day I text him, our dishwashers fixed,
so you can come back to put the tile back. Also, you can
give us an estimate for the window we have this cracked window. I was
going to give him more work, right, So he writes, I can
come back next Thursday only, So I write, what do I write?
I write? Okay? Right, Beckers can't be choosers. I'm like this
guy, I owe him money. You know what am I going to argue
with? I was like, okay. So Thursday comes ten forty two.
I write, Hi, what time are you coming today? Four twenty two
in the afternoon, I write, I'm assuming you aren't coming. Oh god.
So then he writes, oh, sorry, I made a mistake and
I'm booking you for Thursday. What's what this Thursday? No, he writes,
and I'm booking you for Thursday the sixteenth? What this is a week
before? This was a full week he had to come. He didn't say
I can come in two weeks on Thursday. He said I can come Thursday,
so that it's just fucking a lie. This was I'm telling you.
This was on a Thursday. He says I can come back next Thursday.
Only he didn't say in two thursdays. He's the next Thursday. So this
is not true. Oh sorry, I made a mistake and I booked you
for Thursday the sixteenth. I'm so sorry. It's my fault, so I
wrote, I wrote a week ago, you literally wrote next Thursday. Now
I'm starting to get I'm finally starting to get pissed. And he writes,
I know it's my mistake, but I can be there this Tuesday morning.
Oh now right, So I go I write, okay, that works.
Okay, so he writes, thanks, So I wrote, put it in
your calendar, and then I did a smile. I did a fucking cry
laughing emoji. This is hilarious, so fun you put in your calendar is
steal a goose? Fuck an asshole. Then Tuesday, Tuesday nine, six
in the morning, yeah, write what time are you coming this morning?
Nothing? So then at ten I write, are you still planning to come?
He so? Then he so? Then then okay. A couple hours
later, I wrote, this is very disappointing. I said, you are
all over next door looking for work, but you were not reliable. I've
already paid you more than half for this job, and you're blowing me off.
Because now I'm just like, yes, what the fun? Right?
So he writes back, Okay, first of all, he silences his notifications
after I write that really and he doesn't respond. He finally responds and he
writes, I'm so sorry, Stephanie. I'm out of town for a family
emergency. I'll be back next week. Are you fucking kidding me? So
I just wrote no, So this this is so, I wrote. I
wrote back, I don't believe that. Just forget it. I'm giving you
a negative review on nextdoor. And then it just says, dude has notification
silenced? Is that? What the hell? Oh my god, oh my
god. You know what, this is the reason why he's looking for work,
all right? If he was, if he was a solid guy that
was taking care of business, right, he would be looking for work.
You know, you would hear other people talk like, hey, this giving
him good reviews, you know. Yeah, but this story gets worse.

So I'm like, okay, f this guy, we're gonna get it.
I'm gonna get somebody else. So I go back to next door and there's
like, first thing I see is some woman who's like, hey, I
hired this guy Eric. He's a handyman, he does all this stuff like
he's really great. So I text him. I'm like, hey, I
saw your name on next door. This is what happened. We need to
we need tiles. All we need is two tiles put back in. And
he's like, okay, are they the right size for and I'm like yes
they were. We have one extra tile and one that was like removed.
And he's like great, I can be there like today at whatever time,
and I go perfect, thank you. Guy comes over, super nice guy.
I was recording rose Pricks though, so John was dealing with him,
super friendly and really nice, and he's like, hey, unfortunately the tile
doesn't fit like it needs to be cut, like our apparently our extra tile
that we never really looked at is not the same size as the space,
right, so it needs to be cut to fit the space. It was
like a misshapen And he's like, and I don't have you need a wet
saw to like it's a different type of job that you need to cut the
tile and I don't have that, Like that's not what I really do.
You have to hire somebody who has a wet saw. And here's what you
need to do. You need to go on task Rabbit and you need to
look up people that have a wet saw. Meanwhile, like the guy could
you know he was at our house for like a half hour. He's like,
I gotta still charge you for my time, which, of course,
like it's not his fault. So he had to pay that guy fifty bucks
and now we have to get another guy to come in and cut tile and
then hopefully put the tile in. But like that was just like John and
I both like we shore our brand short at that We're like, how is
getting our dishwasher? Like? But now the problem is there's a hole in
the floor in front of the dishwasher, so it looks pretty bad. I
know. The only thing you can do is I guess is yeah, get
that get somebody with a wet side and knows what they're doing and hopefully cut
it and get it right, size it done until the next fucking time our
dishwasher breaks right, and then like forget it. That's so weird. There
should be a way we need to redo our floors, probably and maybe make
them a little bit lower so that the dishwasher can slide out. Right.
I was gonna say retile the floor. Yeah, but you know how it
is where the floor in the kitchen goes all out into the laundry room like
it's a thing. Yeah, you can't just have right, it's all attached.
I guess we could just you could just do like one just a kitchen
and leave the laundry room or or something. But I suppose, but if
you could wait, great, if you could get a guy out there to
retire our kitchen. But like I'm about to now send a kid to college,
I got two more coming right behind her. We're just like not really
flush to go redo our fiction right this minute. But but it'd be great
to get a guy with the with the wet saw that knows what he's doing
right and can freaking But everything is like a problem it's like, okay,
but you need an app for task Rabbit. I remember you talking about task
rabbit, like a few years ago. You got really into it. Yeah,
I loved you, like, oh this is great. Yeah. Remember
when I got really into the buddy truck or what a truck buddy or whatever
was that. It's where you can just rent somebody has a truck. Oh
yeah app and you go like, hey, this guy has a truck.
I need something moved. There's an app for that. But it's like task
Rabbit. Okay, that's another app that needs a password and you got to
sign up. Everything feels like a problem. Is it just like age related
or like Okay, I'm in a book club. I read the book,
but yesterday I was doing a Zoom storytelling show and it started at six o'clock
and book club was from four to six. So I was like, all
right, here's what I'm going to do. I read the book like a
month ago. I'm going to go to book club, but from like four
to five because I need to get home in time. So now it's like
I went to the gym with John and when we're on our way back,
I'm like, yeah, I'm going to book club, and he's like,
are you crazy? You have way too much anxiety for that. What are
you going to You're going to come home at like five thirty and be freaking
out and trying to like. He's like, no, you're not, You're
not going to book club. And I was like, you're right, I'm
not going to go club. So I texted this is what I This is
what I texted the group, by the way, which I thought was I
thought I was being pretty funny, but I wrote, this is leading to
my other thing. I wrote, I'm so sorry, I'm probably gonna miss
I'm doing a show at six and starting to feel a little stressed about getting
home in time. I did read the book though, and enjoyed it.
And then I added, also, my husband is living more biblically and is
comfortable with me doing things unchaperoned, especially when it comes to me sharing ideas
or opinions. Go cheeps. I got one laugh. One person laughed at
it. I was like, come on, some comedy gold Yeah, now
let's go give it up. It's ridiculous. Yeah, I get no love.
Okay, So everybody goes to book club or actually not that many people.
And then my friend Cecily, who listens to our show, says,
this is my mom friend LB's bff's Yeah, mom, she's a good friend
of mine. She writes. If you missed book club today, join our
new app and check out some pics. Check out all the app has to
offer. You can schedule an RSVP to meetings, sink dates, and locations
with your calendar. Check out now. Already I'm like, I'm unconscious,
Like I'm like you you lost me at join our new app. You know.
I'm like, I can't. My brain shorted out its sent, set
your profile and more, and I was like set my oh, send and
received messages and able notifications. I was like, I no, I give
up. And then I talked to Cecily later that night and she was like,
hey, did you download the app? And I was like, no,
I didn't. She was like, well, you need the app so
we can like to coordinate with the book clubs. And I was like,
I think I can't be in book club. Then, oh god, you
know what I mean? Though, are you with you? You should just
eat? Well? Yes, because I do have like my sister, I
help like Wendy, I help my my girlfriend Dawn. This is the same
way with apps and stuff like that. Even Suzanne, I don't know what
you need. You need to get like one of your kids to just do
it for you. Just go I need this app. Can you go on
it? Can you down give it to Xander, tell them to download it,
give me a password, blah blah blah, and then, you know,
can you make sure that my phone recognizes the passwords every time I go
into the app. It'll just you know, get the kids to do it.
I'm having like, but I hate that shit, literal anxiety my body
thinking about the fact that ticket Master, you know, the ticket Master app,
Like, okay, if you let's say you buy tickets to something at
the Pantagious, right, Okay, it goes through your ticket Master, but
you have like three different signings, and god forbid if you don't, if
you haven't signed in from your phone and you've done it from your computer,
oh forget it. You're fucked. Yes, yes, fucked, because now
you're like, well, my tickets are lost in there. They're in the
app. I can't get it on my phone from my computer unless I log
in on my phone. But now it's saying it doesn't recognize the password,
right, and I'm like, I looked in my notes app, I have
the password in there. I'm using that password. Well it turns out not
so fast. Yeah. It turns out that at some point you logged in
and you forgot your password and you set a new password and you didn't update
it, and now you're done, like it doesn't recognize you. And now
you're like, well, I guess I'm not going to that concert. I
know, what the hell? And then it's like, well, you need
to have this, and then we're sending you a message over to your email
address. It's like, I don't use that email. Like that's the other
thing. Like a lot of shit goes to an old email address, and
it's like, I guess I can't I can't play Fortnite anymore because it's all
going to my old I don't. I got to start all over. You
know. It's just I hate it. I hate it. We were having
that problem, oh when we were in Vegas with the like Caesar's Palace.
You have to like text you know four or five four or five for you
know, room service. So you do all that and then it's like once
Don's like Diamond member and it's gonna text her phone, and I don't know
where Don is, and I guess we can't eat. We're just we're starving,
but we just we're just gonna wait until Don gets back, could be
hours from now, like we couldn't. It was ridiculous, like it's impossible.
I know, I hate that ship. The other night, last night
or two nights ago, we were the kid. Oh okay, this is
another thing, another topic, Xander. This there's good and bad with being
the hub where all the kids come over. Yes, you know, I
love it. You know, I'm like the mom and me and girls.
I'm not a regular mom. I'm a cool mom. Everybody come on over.
Well, careful what you wish for, because now my kids are like,
oh, Sadie's got this friend over Listen. I am grateful as hell.
There was a time not that long ago where all I did was complain
that my kids don't have a friend group. Now my kids have friends,
and it's like, yeah, and I am grateful for it. It is
really really sweet, like and oftentimes on a Friday night, like Sadie had
her friend. This has been so long since this has been because you know,
Sadie has the smallest social battery of anybody I know. She had a
girlfriend sleepover Friday night and Saturday night, the same girl, but she came
Friday night. They had a good time. They went out and then Saturday,
no, they stayed home Friday night and I took them to Sally's and
they bought hair dye, and then they died her friend's hair. Oh fun.
And then Saturday they hung out all day and then Saturday night they went
to go see this music show and then slept over again. Meanwhile, Saturday
night, Xander had like two friends. He has two guy friends. He's
in a little friend group with there's four of them, which reminds me of
like how Elbe used to be. She had a group of four. Whoever
thought there'd be a time where I'd be like, Yeah, Xander's got his
crew, but it's his regular crew. He spends a ton of time with
them. And so two of them were coming over and they all slept and
they were sleeping over. But here's the thing. Nobody has their driver's license,
so they can't go and just go get food. They can walk,
and they sometimes will, but they'd already been walking, so they're tired.
So they're like, hey, what are we thinking? For dinner. So
I'm always on the hook for everybody's dinner because hey, I got to collect
a from everybody for food. Dropped your kids off over it. Yeah,
so we try to like keep it kind of cheap and like, you know,
order like Taco Bell or something, which of course they're all thrilled about.
Yeah, okay, get everybody's Taco Bell order. John's like haranguing them,
like, get your friend's Taco Bell order. Oh. Also, like
LB's home from work. So now we got Lb who's in her room.
She wants food. You guys are going to Taco Bell. She's suddenly all
ears, you know, she's you know. And then Sadie and her friend
want Taco Bell, and then John and I are going to order something.
Okay, well the freaking app. Well, you know, you can't just
order Taco Bell. You can't just go to Taco Bell on the thing.
You can't just call them anymore and go to my order. No, you
got to use the Taco Bell app. Guess you now is a proud owner
of the Taco Bell app for me, And I'll tell you why. Because
John he's got the app. He goes on the app, he puts in
all the food. It's a freaking complicated order, Like everybody wants something every
but he wants some embellishment today. I can't just get a bean and rice.
Yeah, you gotta have oh, this one add onions and this one
no sauce one. So it's I'm not even exaggerating when I say it's like
twenty minutes of just inputting the order. He gets to the pay part,
grade out no, can't, no, can't do. He's like, I
don't know. He's now he's getting frustrated, and it's like it's always something
right. So I'm like, what's wrong. He's like, I don't know.
It's just it's just it won't let me pay. It won't let it's
gray. And I'm like, well, have you used it before. He's
like yeah, plenty of times. He's like it's just won't And I'm like,
let me try. You know, I look at it. Yeah,
it's great. I'm like, maybe they're closed. Oh. He's like,
nope, they're open until four in the morning. That's not it. I'm
like, I don't know. So then I'm like, well, let me
download the app. So I download the app, get through the whole thing.
He shows me. He shows it to me on his app. The
order I have to go in and one at a time. Another twenty minutes
in putting the order. We're talking a lot of kids, three, four,
five, six kids, and me and John get all the order in,
you know, multiple things they're ordering. It's like everybody's got to have
a Baja freeze, like yes, you know this one wants a large this
one media. I'm like, all right, right, don't get the freeze
one, don't get the one with the ice, get the regular exactly.
John's like, did you make sure it's the one with the free Okay.
I get through the whole thing. You go there and then it goes next
and then it goes to the pay page. Noe grade out again. Yeah,
this was like an hour of our time. Finally there was nothing to
do. I'm like, how are these people staying in business? Like the
app doesn't work so bee because they use door dash. Now, we were
desperate enough for food that I was just like, well, let's just go
there and old school like get ordered at the drive through and order the whole
thing. And so that's what John did. I didn't that John did it.
Wow Wow, And it's like but that's what happens. These apps are
causing people to lose business because everything is such a kshaw and it's so byzantine
and crazy. You know, like, don't people just eventually give up?
I would, I guess I would. I would. I just I know,
I actually just have the kids just do it that kind of stuff.
And I feel like this, I feel like this podcast should just change its
name to like, get off my lawn. I know, seriously, for
crying out loud, get off my lawn, your kids and your crazy apps.

Madison doc. Yes, I started watching it. Okay, night fell asleep
there was I was going crazy because there was another one that was like a
year ago. It was bad. Yeah, it wasn't actually crazy, it
was cheesy. This one's pretty good. I started watching it and it looks
good. But they don't tell you. What they don't tell you is that
a lot of the women on the app or bots, remember right, They
don't tell you that. In this document. They act like there's all these
women that like want to cheat, and I think it was mostly guys,
and then I think they were having to hire people. I don't know.
I want to say they were like sex workers using Ashley Madison and like a
lot of the guys because they were really marketing it towards men, right.
I remember listening to Howard Stern in the morning all and it would all Ashley
Madison was like their biggest sponsor in them. They would hear commercials for Ashley
Madison all the time on Howard Stern. So, yeah, I guess they
did market it towards men. But didn't they I can't remember because I remember
watching the old doc I haven't really I've only seen like a half an hour
the first episode of this one. But didn't if I remember, didn't they
fake? Didn't they have a bunch of fake bots on there that are uh
like women that are you know, they're trying to like entice because they got
hacked, right, they got hacked. Yeah, that's the big thing.
They got hacked and released released everybody, everybody's names. But didn't they figure
out that a lot of that shit was fake or something? Well, yes,
there were a lot of people. The women were not real but then
how are they They're supposed to have an affair. How do you have an
affair with a bot? Right? I don't know. I guess there were
some real people. I mean, I'm still watching the documentary to find out
if they ever touch on that, but I don't think they did on the
first documentary. It was in a lot of articles. Hilly Beast had articles.
Did I ever tell you about how like when that when the hack happened?
I mean, these guys were so stupid. I guess they just thought,
and they covered this in the documentary that like, well, I'm probably
not gonna get caught, Like, I mean, why would I even think
about I guess maybe in those days there wasn't a lot of leaks where people
got your information. There weren't a lot of those kind of hacks. Yeah,
but so a lot of guys were not being very careful. Do you
remember that I had a friend whose husband was just like a piece of shit,
Like this guy was terrible? Did I ever tell you that story?
She has she had twins, and it doesn't really matter how I know her,
but I was pretty good friends with her. John worked with her husband,
and when this happened, John goes, let's call him Rob. He
was like, we should put Rob's name just in the hack just to see.
Sure enough came right up. He used his freaking so John worked with
him. He used his work email. Wow, his Ashley Madison account.
Wow. So it was like, let's say, let's say he was a
contractor and his email was like Rob builds right, you know, it was
like Rob builds in the Ashley Madison thing and it showed all his activity.
Oh, no, it does. And he got the account. He started
the account when his wife was pregnant with twins and then was was having activity
on it all, like after she'd had the babies. So it didn't just
say their names, showed all their all their you know you have to that's
right, the atures and stuff that they would post. No, the other
end. The other what it listed was like all the times they used it,
like every time they met up with somebody or wanted they had to pay
every time, so all their connections it listed. So it was like all
these like a list of women he'd puked up with her or contacted during the
time at like wow, So did she find out, Well, she caught
she found out. She found iPad messages of him with another woman, which
he tried to deny, but it was pretty undeniable. It turned out he
was a major serial cheater obviously, but she was already going through the divorce
when I told her about the and what I had to do. What I
did was I didn't want to be like, yeah, John like sniffed out,
like my husband was probably cheating right away. So I was like,
you know, you know, for maybe some fodder for your divorce, you
know, because this guy, I cannot he was such a piece of shit,
like I'd known him for years. He's gross. He hit on all
the women, like the kid's school, Like, he's just gross. Right,
So I was like, you know, this Ashley Madison hack, Like
I wonder if Bob like would be in the thing, Like you know,
you can just put in his email address and you could see good. So
she did and she found it, so I didn't have to say this guy
already knew smart. She was like what smart? Was like, I don't
think you should be that surprised, right babe. Yeah, well, remember
like so we only know like the celebrities that are not celebrities. Kristen Teichman
or whatever her name is, from Real Housewives who stuck with her husband.
Yep, they're still together and she's still she was recently, oh because remember
on Ultimate Girls. Yeah, yeah, they were asking her about it and
she was she was like, yeah, that's fine. Yeah, she addressed
it and she was like, you made a mistake and I want to keep
my family together, and and she was fine. Also Snooky Snooky's husband they're
still together and they're still together too. I don't think she talks about it.
I mean a lot of famous people were, yeah, caught, and
they all had the lamest excuses too, Like remember when Kristen Tichman's husband was
like, oh my gosh, that's not I didn't buds. Yeah, we
were just like we just put it in there just just to see. Yeah,
but then it shows you if you went on dates and stuff. So
right, oh boy, yeah, I can't wait to watch this doc I
watched Hollywood Con, Hollywood Con, Queen Hollywood Con Queen Yah, which was
insane. I could not didn't I I text you right, it was before
I I've heard the whole podcast, but I haven't seen the documentaries. Really
good, really good, yeah, really good because you know that story Kaitlin
Oh it's a crazy story. It's it's basically like, well, it's so
there's people that are independent contractors. There's actors. There's also you know,
photographers, hair stylists and yes, and there's this person that impersonates like high
powered women, mostly women in Hollywood. Yeah, they were, They were
impersonating Amy Pascal. Amy Pascal was the head of like Sony at the time,
right right, there's a few there's a couple of them. I can't
remember their names, but if you if I said their names, you you
would you would know. I mean they're heads of studios. Women that are
heads of studios in Hollywood. And this person would you know, get a
hold of these people and hire them and then you know, make them pay
for their trips. But say, oh, we're going to reimburse you,
but we need you to go to like, you know, India for a
shoot, you know, uh Jakara for you know this, you know for
for we need you to go on you know, go take photography of all
these places that's not And then the guy would come back and give him all
the stuff and you go, that's not enough you need and like thinking that
he's on the phone with Amy Pascal right, And it was very involved and
there was like you know, scripts sent and then script changes, like it
seemed like there was like a bunch of people behind it, but it was
one person. And then they would do the person would do make them do
auditions over the phone, like we were like sexual auditions. Guy, Yes,
like you're going to pretend that you really like want me right, that
you're trying to seduce me right for a personal trainer? There was Yes,
yes, there was and and and they wanted it was an actor and he
was trying to he had to seduce this person over the phone over zoom and
then they they they would pay for a personal trainer that that person had to
pay for it, and they would just rack up the bills, right,
But how was the person who was scamming getting paid? Were they sometimes having
to like that's what I don't know. I mean they I watched like the
first two episodes then I went to Vegas, but it was they were just
discovering who the guy was. Okay, but he was, and the guy
that discovered him was writing these articles and he's did the book on it.
He wrote a book about this guy and he went and flew to how Want
to read that book. What's it called Hollywood con Queen. Oh yeah,
okay mm hmm. And the author of the book is in this documentary and
he's he's got it all videotaped where he's on the phone with how he catches
the guy, videotapes he's there and he's got it under cover. He's like
hiding how he found him, how he caught him. And then he's like
on the phone with him all the time, like too much time the phone
with them. Just it gets crazy. And I got to see the end,
and I does he do? We know if he got caught, if
he went to prison. I don't know, but let's not spoil it.
I don't want's all find out. Yeah, because I got to watch the
rest. It was really good. Yeah, the first two episodes are great.
I think it's only three harder. I'm behind on a lot of my
shows. And then I watched a new Lulu Lulu uh, Lula Row there's
a new one, new one. Oh my god, I'm obsessed with I
know, I know. So there's a new one, because I think it's
on like the Discovery Network. Because once you watch like Hollywood Conking, then
you go underneath and go, oh, you want to see more shows like
me the first Lula Row. I started rewatching Lula Rich. It's called Ye
yes, that one is incredible. Yeah, this one is just called Lulaow.
Like the Scandal, okay, and it's pretty good. Yeah, it's
a whole it's like, you know, a whole different people that got scammed
another side. There's a couple of stories to it. I don't want to
say, but you know how they that sucked in. It's really good.
Okay, I'll watch that. Yeah, I like that. Shit, that's
as good. Have you seen anything recently, Kaitlin, No, not a
lot. You know. I watched that new HBO movie The Iron Claw,
about that wrestler that wrestling family you know about that, Oh, the Vaughan
Erics. They were a big wrestling family in like the seventies or eighties,
and they had this. They would call it like a curse on their family
because there was like so much tragedy in their family. It was like four
brothers and it's with Jeremy Allen White is in it. He plays with the
Suns, so yeah, okay, and then zac Efron is in it too,
and uh, it was it was very sad it's very sad. It's
very good and well made, but it's been like I didn't enjoy watching the
movie because it's so sad. But uh, Iron Claw the Iron Clots on
HBO. Yeah, okay, but other than that, yeah, just mostly
mostly NBA five. That's what Sonny was. Yeah. Do you know our
reality shows Blow Deck, vander Pump, The Valley. Those are meaning I'm
watching the I'm watching the Valley. Yeah. Yeah, it's better than vander
Pump. I never watched vander Pump and I don't know those people, and
I can't I don't know their names, so I had to have you know,
I'm like an episode five or six. But it is really good.
I like it. I'm enjoying it. Yeah, I used to hate that.
Jack's Guynia and Danny. Yeah, so she's the one that used to
be Miss teen USA and then Danny was a child star. Yeah that was
That's the everyone's favorite couple. Love them protect These people are all from vander
Pump. No, no, only like Brittany and Jack's and and what's her
name, Kristen? Those are the people. Well who are the other people?
Then there there's new people, there's there so this Janet who's terrible.
We all hate her Janet and her she's pregnant, Jason. She started out
good and then just slowly and she's pregnant. Yeah, she's the pressure,
the pregnant one. But she's not from no so she's just brand new,
brand new. Okay, yeah she is a and uh Nia and Danny are
brand new and Michelle and yeah, Michelle and Jesse Jesse, yeah, and
he's just terrible, but she's pretty bad too. Now, Like she started
for her and I didn't like him, but now right, like I saw
the big fight at the table and I think I'm on the Malibu episode where
they go to Malibu. Yeah, well see the thing is like Kristen was
fired from vander Pump for being racist. I looked that up. Yeah,
and now she's back and you kind of got to feel bad for her though,
because she's like she's kind of crazy, but like she's kind of she's
pretty crazy, but like I feel like she means well, you know what
I mean, Like, but she's she's unfiltered. So JACKX, who is
like, as Lisa vander Pump would say, a sniper from the side,
JACKX is like setting her up constantly to take the fall he's causing, stirring
so much shit up, and then he'll just like leak stuff to her and
knowing that she's gonna say it, and then she'll be the one who's in
trouble for it. And then he's like, I don't know, Kristen told
me that, and it's like, that's not true. Jackson is spreading these
roots, spreading. So jack started that rumor about Michelle Michelle cheating on her
husband. Okay, yeah, so Jacks started the rumor, told other people
and then tried to say that Kristen told him, which is not true.
There's footage of him telling her, and so she did cheat on her husband.
So these two people, they're new to you guys, like they're new
to me, because yes, yes, and Jesse and Michelle are brought are
divorced. Randa and so are Bricks. Uh, Brittany and Jacks. I
don't think they're divorced yet, but they're separating. They're just separated. Jackson
Brittany are separated. Yeah. Oh wow, there's this Uh there's this other
show that I stumbled on yesterday. It's so stupid. It's on TLC,
So, like, you know, it's bad. It's called milf manor oh
I've seen yes, it is so weird. It's weird. They get these
older women and then a bunch of like young hot guys come in and first
episode they're like flirting whatever, and then at the end of the first episode
all the younger guys dads walk in. So this show is about like these
dads and these sons competing for like the older women against one another. And
it's so uncomfortable. Oh that season two, ycause the first season and one
was it's even weirder because it's the moms and they're excited to see who these
guys are. And the guys walk in and that's their sons. Yes,
and it's there the sons are dating. That was great show. The other
okay, so the season two it was different, Yeah, but it sounds
equally as uncomfortable. It's very uncomfortable. There's like they you know, one
of the women wins date so that she invites the sun and the dad out
to do like, uh, like sexual yoga. So it's a tantric yoga,
but the dad and the son are doing it like together with her.
