Made a decision face sunny, so I had a vision. So what's up
everybody, Japanie. How are you welcome to for trying now out? What
a great day? Labor day? It is labor day. That's why we're
laboring. We're we're laboring. We're working hard for you, guys, it
won't be Labor Day for you when you're listening to this now. But we
just did a really fun Thursday UH special guest episode with Lisa Lampanelli. She
was so interesting and so fun to talk to you. It's so easy to
talk to so smart took Yeah, gave great advice, Yes she did.
She gave us both advice. Yes, yes, I felt like I was.
I got a little bit of therapy. I did too. She should
be a therapist. I just got a therapy vibe to her. I was
thinking. So she said, I feel like we're almost doing a little after
show. This should be on our Friday show, right, But she talked
about being a life coach, but then and then wanting to like fix people.
So I kind of understand why she might not want to be a therapist.
But while the whole time I was like, God, she'd be a
good therapist. I was thinking the same thing. Yeah, she just was
so easy to talk to her. She was telling us about her roasts and
her you know, what made her retire and what she's doing now. It's
just she was really inspiring and her weight loss, but like an unexpected kind
of message right about her weight lost. It was just so so so so
good. Yeah. I recommend it. Yes, we highly recommend. Even
if I just listened to it onto somebody else's podcast episode, i'd be like,
I recommend it. I agree, Yeah, good Interviewsan's coughing l fucked
up over there in the got it is probably probably probably Yeah, Amy's well,
she's been coughing for almost about three weeks now, and I went the
first week and a half without getting it, and then I developed a bad
cough. So for the last week now, I've had a really bad cough
and then I've had headaches and yeah, so it's it's getting uh yeah,
but I think that was brought on by having to do my pawn work last
week for two days and then like the day afterwards, I was just I
was done. So yeah, I don't know, I might need some antibiotics
or something, I think, So I think now listen again, I would.
I want to remind you as a I didn't officially graduated med school and
that's unfortunate. Something bad happened. We need to put a certificate, your
medical certificate up here in the studio. I know it is. It's a
certificate that I had done at Kinks and listen, it's you know, can
it. It's opened a lot of doors right under false pretenses. That's all
I'm saying. But yeah, I do think that antibiotics are are under prescribed.
This is gonna go a little different than like the official medical cities feeling
that they don't want to overprescribe an I say prescribe, like when in doubt
give me an antibiotic? Are you listening? Doctor? Knock around? It
just feels like you go to like this place, you go to that place.
They're like, no, it doesn't it's it's a virus. Fuck that.
Whatever it is, it's going to respond to antibiotics, and like,
give me some antibiotics. But then you get treated like you're some kind of
like a drug seeker. You know, it's not. It's not vicing in.
It's an antibiotic. It's not gonna make me feel better. Except healthwise,
right right. It's like you're not gonna get high off of it,
like I'm not, but you know what I mean. They're always like,
yeah, no, I'm sorry, you don't. You don't need antibiotics.
I'm like, yeah I do. And then you finally find somebody who's like,
I think you should get to have around to antibiotics, and you're like,
thank god, I feel doctor shopping. So yeah. People may disagree
with me, but I'm on your side, Kalin, Yeah, don't get
them antibiotics. Yes, go find a doctor that will prescribe it for keep
going, call the doctors ahead of time. Go to those clinics in Florida
line. Let's say hi to our phenomenal friends like Aaron land Hoo, she's

kids though, Caitlin, I know you don't want to talkle up, but
they're doing well they had it, they didn't. They might have caught a
little bit of it, but not much. Normally they're coughing all the time.
Blake's coughing through the night. But they seem to have just gotten like
a little bit. So other than that, they're good. They're starting school
next week. They're both going to be in school now, so yeah,
they're doing good. You know what, I'm wondering, what if the reason
why you have a cough and then the kids have been coughing before and you're
the frequent colds. What if it's not preschool and all the germs that What
if you have black mold? Dude, I got black mold in my house.
Wait, seriously, I was taking a joke. You have black mold
in your We had to have it treated by a special company. What when
when this happen a couple of weeks ago, Well, we had that leak
again and the leak doesn't stop and so you know, now when you're selling
the house, you got to get that taken care of, you know,
or you have to. You know, nobody wants a house with black weird.
No, luckily it's not that much. But there's a company that comes
out they treat it. They do that. They put the thing on the
wall, like, you know, find it, treat it should be done.
Actually this week, how'd you find it in the first place. Well,
the water that was leaking was the paint was starting to peal, and
it was like the wall was getting warped, and we like pulled it up,
you know, pulled this plaster off, and then you saw we just
saw like what looked like mold. So we had to call the company to
come out and they're like, yeah, I don't know if it's black mold,
but it's mold. Yeah, okay, I feel like black mold would
have been like they would have made you leave your house for days. But
they sealed off the room. They got a fan, an industrial fan blowing
in there twenty four seven. It's pretty loud. Oh wow. So they
fixed the league though, finally, yes, they fixed the league. They're
treating the mold and so Ray didn't actually get it fixed or now, but
it wasn't Ray's fault. That was different. Then you hired a plumber,
right, that was that different and they didn't fix it. Oh that was
a different league. Yeah, that was a different that was in the exercise
room. It's still it's still in there, but this is a different issue.
It's the it's condensation from the acas. What was happening. Okay,
yeah, but I'll tell you about my trip, of course. Yeah,
let's hear it. So you guys had a good week last week with Robin
and Patrick filling in. Yeah. Yeah. Robin talked a lot about being
a teacher and and she's a lot of the feedback was that people wish they'd
had had Robin as a teacher for themselves and their kids. Right. I
saw that. Thank you Robin, Thank you Patrick for yeah feeling. So
it was kind of a it's it's a trip that I've been trying to get,
you know, I wanted to get out away and see my family,
and it's like I've been trying to plan it never been the right time.
And then all of a sudden, it was like Wendy was like, where
We're going to the Florida House for a couple of days. You should come
and meet us there. My niece Jackie, her oldest daughter. I don't
know if you remember Wendy telling the story when she was a guest on the
podcast about how she went to Iraq and she was pregnant with her first daughter,
and she was about she didn't want to give birth out. It was
a whole story. Yeah, Jackie is so she's now she's forty two or
something, and I just she's just a bright She's just like you know some
people that just have such a good soul, always happy, always positive.
So it was her and Jackie going to Florida to the Florida House for a
few few days. It was my birthday and they're like, you should come
out, So I planned that. So I planned it last kind of last
minute. So I went, and I'm so glad I went. I had
a great time the morning. So I got the flight. Because everything was
last minute, I was like, okay, I gotta find the cheapest.
So the flight out was leaving at five forty in the morning. What Yeah,
I didn't even know flights left at that time five forty. Lax had
to be there, so I had to be there at like four thirty.
So I had to get up at like three thirty in the middle of the
night. So what I did was I was like, Okay, I'm not
gonna get to the airport. So I went on the Uber app and you
can schedule I was I never really do that. I was like, oh,
you can schedule ahead of time. Scheduled ahead of time to come pick
me up at three fifty in the morning. But quick interjection, did you
notice because when I started using Uber recently, I thought it was like seven
times as expensive to schedule it as to just when you're ready to go call
an uber. That's the thing though, because in our area, when you're
scheduling it's hot, sometimes it's like trying to find a driver nearby. So
it was either that or drive my car. I didn't want to drive my
car right or I don't you know, or get a car service, which
was gonna be probably more expensive. So I just was like, I'll just
I'll schedule the Uber. It was pretty expensive, but it was like I
didn't what was my other alternative. So I scheduled it to picked me up
at three fifty and h okay. So I go to bed. I get
up. Fucking Phil's gotta follow me every time, no matter what time of
the day, in the middle of the ninety things, because now I'm getting
up, he thinks it's time for him to get up and have his breakfast.
So now I'm like dealing with Phil. I go downstairs, let him
out to pee, blah blah blah, get him situated. And now I'm
looking and I'm like, usually these car people they show up a few minutes
early, right, and it's like three forty five, nobody's out there.
I look outside, nobody look on the map and it's now approaching three fifty
and it says the driver seventeen minutes away. I was like, fuck you
hell no, what the fuck? And I was like, what do I
do? So then I go, okay, well, let me try lift.
I have the lift app, which I never use, so I go
on lift and I was like, hopefully there's gonna be a driver around my
area. Immediately it was like I got somebody six minutes away, and he
showed up, and he showed up a little. I mean, by the
time he came it was like four o'clock. Now I should have left at
three fifty, but it's four o'clock. No traffic to lax Still, It's
like, you know, I'm checking. I already checked in. I got
one bag. I want to check so. But the point is is the
ironic thing is I get to the airport just in the nick of time.
I get through security. I get to the gate and it's like now they're
boarding. Like I didn't you know, there was no relaxing going to have
something that, you know, a Starbucks to you know. And so now
I'm like boarding the plane. I get on the plane, sit down.
They have the TV in front of you. I was like, okay,
let's see what they got on the TV. So I was like, Bridesmaid.
I've never seen the movie Bridesmaids, and everybody was like, you know,
you and I it's always the movie. One of the movies anytime you're
on an airplane, no matter what service Delta United with, it's Bridesmaid's always,
like I don't know if you know it every when every time I travel,
Bridesmaid shows up. So I'm like, you know what, I'm edited.
It must be edited though, No, was it dirty? Yes?
It was dirty because yeah, because it opens with like a crazy sex oh
yeah, with with Jon Hamm okay, I fucking love and yesh like she
yeah, she's bouncing on top of him and he's like cup the balls,
you know. Okay. It's like the first thing comes out of the out
of the gate. So I'm like, I'm gonna watch Bridesmaid so I turn
it to watch it. But there's some ads that you got to go through
before the movie. He starts like, Marryott, you know, check Marryott
here. You know, Miles, You're not. I'm on Unit here United
mile level. I got the United ad. The next ad Uber. Why
make your mornings when you're traveling stressful when you can go and schedule and Uber.
I had a time I took a video of it because it was haunting
me. Not only I had to take two flights to get to Florida,
it was on both flights, on the way there and on the way home.
On United, there was this fucking Uber commercial. Every single time I
wanted to watch something on the plane, I had to sit through this Uber.
Hey, get on the Uber app schedule or your cart. This girl's
like trying to get out of the house like me in the morning. It's
early in the morning. You're catching your flight schedule Uber ahead of time,
schedule ahead of time? Like fuck you? Were you able to cancel the
Uber? Oh? Hell yeah? I canceled him. Yes, and they
didn't charge you anything for now. No. I wonder if because they could
see that they were going to be late, right late to pick you up.
I think hopefully that I didn't have time to even look back, like
so anyway, it was a ten dollars charge to cancel, but but I
didn't get I didn't get the charge of you know, and I was probably
cheaper to get the lift because he was scheduling it right exactly and the lift
came right away. So it's like, fuck, wow, that's so funny.
I know, at uber commercials like following me all the way to Florida,
I'm all both flights and ugh, but it's Bridesmaid. So funny it
is. I watched it like three times. I watched it all and by
the way, like i got the headphones on on the plane and I'm trying
to get the closed caption because I want to hear every word and I can't
hear. You know. It's like the sound is not great. It's loud
on the plane, so I'm hearing like on the way. At the first
time I watched it, I'm hearing like most everything, but then there's some
scenes I was like why wait, wait, wait what they say? What
they I didn't get to hear it. So then on the next plane I
watched it again. I watched half of it, and then on the way
home I watched it again. But on the way home I was able to
put the close captions on, so I watched it. I was laughing so
loud on the airplane. I never like laugh out loud, like that best
movie. He's fucking hilarious. I've watched it a lot of times. Oh
my god. I love such good writing. It's great performing, Like,
there's so many funny jokes, so many funny jokes. Yeah. I just
love when when she's on the airplane, Oh yeah, you know, and
then she gets drunk and she's like, you know, fucking with the guy.
Yeah, just the Hitler, Like yes, she's doing little different outfits
and try to pretend and he's like, yeah, I know, you're still
the same person from before. She's like what, No, I'm a different
person. And she's like, get with the nineties and he goes, it's
not the nineties, and she goes, yes it is, no, you
are. She's arguing that the flight attendant to come back to recyt. It's
a great movie. I highly reckon mend it it really there's the my one
of my favorite parts is when they're doing the speeches at the engagement party,
and she and Rose what's her name Rose? Uh? Yeah? Yeah,
what is her name? What's the actress's name from Bridesmaid's Rose Burnt? Roseburn?
Yes, that's it Burn. Yeah, yeah. Where so Roseburn is
playing the new friend right of Maya. Rudolph's right, who's playing Annie?
She's getting married, Yeah, she's getting married. And then when they start,
like one of them makes a speech first, Chris and Wigg makes a
speech where she's just like I just just love you with my whole heart or
whatever, and I just wish you guys the best. And then the other
girl gets up and gives like a whole speech. So then Chris and Wigg
is like, hold on, I have a little bit more, and then
they and then they just keep going back and forth, grabbing the mic from
each other. It's SU's like when we were taking Spanish together and she starts
talking in Spanish and I'm not making any sense. Yeah yeah, she's like,
asked Dellwig, like she's a oh my god. They were such great
performances, all of them so good. I've shown that movie to both Sadie
and Elbie and Sadie and Xander, and I gotta say the kids didn't love
it as much as I did. Really, Yeah, it's a little sad
that they didn't love Yeah, Like, I mean, they liked it.
Elbie liked it a lot, and then Sadie liked it, and then Xander,
Like Xander will watch part of a movie and then like halfway through you
just know he's not right loving it and he's feeling like he's in jail,
like yes, imprisoned, and then you have to just go. You can
go, and they'll be like really, okay, I hey, let's take
a quick break. Okay, let's talk about Thrive. Thrive I pause medics

Yeah. Oh I was also really really really quick. That has to do
with what I just said. Last night, we John and I got a
wild hair to watch Any Given Sunday. Have you ever seen that movie?
Yeah? A long time, and I was like, oh my god,
Xander, You're okay. We've been deciding between i mean, pulp fiction,
any Given Sunday Jerry Maguire and I was like, Oh, you're gonna love.
You're gonna love Any Given Sunday. I haven't seen it since I think
it came into It's just about it's about football, right, Yeah, it's
an Oliver Stone movie. Alpaccino's in it, Cameron Diaz, Denzel Washington,
now Jamie Fox, Jamie Fox. Yeah. So anyway, we're watching the
movie and the whole time, I'm like, I mean, is it gonna
get like better? But I'm trying to be a cheerleader for it because now
I've trapped Xander had a family time with us, so I'm like, yeah,
like, oh, it's gonna it's gonna get Really, it's like a
two and a half hour movie because Oliver Stone, like, it's very overly
dramatic and there's really no one to root for and at a certain point I
had to kind of admit defeat, like I was like, this is actually
not a great movie. And then and and John had been like yeah,
okay, sure, yeah. I think he liked it, you know,
and you could just see it on Xander's face that he was like oh,
and he kept saying he was like, I don't understand what's happening. But
I was like I don't either, but I didn't want to, like,
so I couldn't try to explain it. I was like, oh, you
don't. And then I was like, John, you understand what's going on,
right, and he's like, yeah, I do. But then I
thought, well, we're gonna pause it and John explain it to it,
so I was like, we'll catch on. So we keep watching it and
of the same thing. Eventually, I was like, you don't have to
stay, Sander. He goes, oh, I don't, okay, bye
bye bye, and he left and then John and I finished it and I
was like that wasn't great, and John goes, no, I know,
I forgot, it's not that good. Right. That happened to me recently
because I think I was listening to like Jamie Foxx on Howard Stern tell a
story about it or something, and I was like, oh, this is
supposed to be one of the best sports movies of all time and I've never
seen it, and so I was watching it and then I was like,
is this really the best sports movie of all time? And then I got
kind of got bored, and then I stopped watching it and I just kind
of never went back to it after that. It's just not that good.
And then John said, I was like, I just remember are loving this
movie. And he said, well, you know when the movie came out,
you were still drinking. And he goes, and I do remember you
being very overly enthusiastic, like I love this movie. He goes, but
you might have been drunk. That's interesting. But you know the worst part
now is don't you feel like now you feel like you can't go back to
Zander and go, hey, I know that was a dud, but we
should watch Jerry Maguire now because you're gonna love it, or Pulp figure.
You're gonna trust me now, Truck, you know, and he's gonna be
like, yeah, right, exactly. Well, he wants to watch The
Godfather, which I know is one of the greatest movies of all time.
But I think it would be bored. I think it's gonna be too slow
for him. Yeah, so I tried to say. I was like,
well, I'm just saying between The Godfather and pulp fiction, you might really
like pulp fiction. And he's like, I don't know. He is already
were like unreliable narrators at this point, Well what does he think about other
Quentin Tarantino movies, Because then you could go like, well, hey,
you like Django and he watched any of them? None of them? No,
okay, tell him to watch the first half hour pulp fiction. Say
watch the first thirty minutes, because I think maybe start with a more modern,
exciting Quentin Tarantino movie like Glorious Bastards or Django or Kill Bill. And
then when it's great, like they are like, all right, now this
is the one that got him really famous. That's interesting because like I don't
I and Glorious Bastards is good. But if he can't follow any given Sunday,
which is not that complicated, I don't know that he's going to totally
get I say, give him the first thirty minutes of pulp fiction because it
comes out of the gate strong. That's what I think. Yeah, say
just give it thirty minutes. And there's so much fun stuff with Samuel Jackson,
like keeps going like funny. Yeah. What I love about Quentin Tarantino
movies is that it's action, but within the action there's like all sorts of
heartfelt like funny, oh yeah, everyday life kind of moments. Yes,
yeah, nobody does that like he does. Now one of my face.
It's uh, it's Django and the the Ku Klux Klan is on the horses
and they got the hoods on, and they're like Jonah Hill, Jonah Hill,
and they're like, who made these these these who made the hoods?
Well, my wife made them. Well they she didn't cut out the holes
big enough. I can't see. I gotta keep moving and I'm on the
horse. How did tell her to make the holes? Begger or whatever whatever
he was saying, like, it's like it's so unexpected, right right,
all right, Well I'll tell my wife next time. But that's insulting.
It's like it's the best. He's just yeah, he's got all these humors.
Right after they like first enter the scene and they're riding the horses and
they got all the fire and the music going, and then it cuts them.
They're all just sitting there. Was like, Okay, this is what
we're gonna do, and they're like, I can't see very good out of
my hood. Oh my gosh. So okay, so you so you finally
you get to Florida. Yeah. So, uh I got to the airport
at the same time Wendy and Jackie got there, which was nice because they
came in from Chicago and and then we went we drove together to Wendy's house
and uh we just you know, it was such a great like I can't
think of two other people that I would want to spend a vacation with more
like there, we're all on the same page. We all get tired at
the same time, We all you know, like want to go to eat
at the same time. You know, just very casual. And Jackie is
like very big in this, you know, physical fitness. She was overweight
for years and she's lost a ton of weight. She's working out every day.
So she's like, anti Linette, we should go to the because in
Wendy's complex there's a gym, and she's like, we come with the come
with me to the gym. My mom won't go, so will you come?
So then I was going with her to the gym every day because she
had to get her work out in. She's doing like all he's doing,
like a twenty one day challenge. She's got these teas that she's making.
That's got like all these vitamins and stuff which I just got from her,
which I loved. She was just like so nice. You know, the
weather was beautiful. They took me out to a nice dinner for my birthday,
and then the hurricane was coming, oh right at the same pretty much
right the day before I was leaving into the It was the day before I
was leaving into the travel day and I went. I went home on a
direct flight, so I had to drive two hours from her house to the
airport. Oh no, thank god I did that because the airport I was
going to fly out of, uh was they they shut down for I don't
know a few hours or for the day. So I did. So I
was driving away from the storm, which was good. But the storm path
was coming right like I've never been through it like that before. I guess.
When I lived in Florida when I was young, we had these tornado
warnings, but I don't remember, but it was, you know, we're
watching TV and all of a sudden, the TV just goes a tornado warning,
tornado warning. It kept saying, take cover, take cover. I'm
like, Wendy should wait. Me and Jackie are like scared, and Wendy's
like, it's fine, it's fine. Like she's calling her neighbor like who
lives there full time? Like what do you think and it's, oh,
it's not gonna come this way, It'll be okay. But it was torrential
rain. So did you take an uber? Were you driving in an uber?
She has this car service that she uses, so she called the car
service for me. So I took that service to the to the airport,
which was it was it was an hour and forty five minute drive. That's
when I was texting you and you were like, have you heard about the
drama? Oh yeah, yeah, so uh so I love yeah, So
I had podcast, had time, I had time, yeah, and uh
so. Anyway, so it was but during the time we were there,
you know, they they, like I said, they took me out to
dinner. I had like one of the best restaurants Mexican food. I don't
even know the name of it. It's buy our House. It was phenomenal.
We went out the like the night before my birthday. We went out
and there's like these couple of restaurants like bars, me her Jackie. Jackie's
not a big drinker, so she was just hanging out with us. Wendy
and I had like a couple of cocktails and they started playing like, go
Shorty, it's Shibbert Day. You know, like like it's your birth day,
it's ship birthday and you don't give a fuck. Is it's your birthday?
Uh? Sometime for the birthday? Is that the same song? No?
Yeah, So we started so I we started like it was that's fifty
like it's your birthday. Yeah. So we I started doing in the electric
slide and Wendy and I started doing it. We used to do it back
in the day all the time, you know, at thirty years ago,
right, And Jackie was like, oh no, please, no please,
no, no no, no, like walk the way. It's like I'm
not with them because we're in a crowd of people that are like young college
students, right, And here comes to me and Wendy doing the electric needs
to be educated about the electric slow he started doing it with us. Oh
they did. Oh we got the bar doing the electric slide. Thank you
Jackie. You know. So they were doing it too. Then they started
doing this other dance. I was like, oh, hell no, I
don't know how to do wobble. I don't know. I'm like, I
don't know. I go back to like another like early two thousand fight wedding
line dance. Yeah, the only thing I could think of. I didn't
know what it was, so Wendy and I had to step out. Jackie
knew how to do it, so she stepped in because she knows, like
you know, she's younger than us. So she was doing it and I
was like, we'll see Jackie, thank you for you can thank your auntie
to getting this. It's sad where people in their forties are like the younger
generation. It is so weird and you're like, oh, well, she's
just a little baby forty year olds, right, you know. And it's
funny because the three of us are ten years apart. Wendy's ten years older
than me and Jackie's ten years younger than me. I'm in the middle.
So yeah, it was but it was so fun and uh uh yeah,
and then it, you know, the hurricane came and but that was like
the last day. But the weather was very hot, very humid. Uh,
you know, it was just but it was nice to to like get
away from everything and just relax and like, you know, be with like
again, like one of two of my favorite people in my family that I
love spending time with and I never really get to see them very often,
especially Jackie, you know, right, but uh it was fun. You
know. Jackie got me inspired at eating good and working out every day and
you know, just keep moving. So I'm still trying to work out every
day now that I'm back, but yeah, I can't work out still yet
because my foot is. I just want to give everyone an update. This
bone stimulator thing is, which I guess I talked about last week, right,
so just to catch you up with it, because I'm sure you're on
the edge of your seat, were like, what's going on with your foot
stuff. I wouldn't know about the bone stimulator thing because you said last I
saw you, it was coming to the house. Yeah. So I got
this bone stimulator thing that is a little medical device and you strap it on.
It's almost like a little strap like my little foot support and then it
has a little conductor thing in it and then you just you put it against
your skin and the strap like holds it on and then you just turn on
this device and it sends some kind of radio waves to your foot. I
gotta tell you, it seems kind of hokey, Like it seems like you're
like, it seems like you're gonna be like talking on the phone through two
tin cans, and you're like I can hear you, like you know,
like You're like, I guess it works. It doesn't seem like something that
would actually do something, But I swear to God it's working because I've done
it eleven times now, and yesterday I didn't have any pain in my foot
the entire day from morning until night, and I was walking around but officially
I'm not supposed to work out yet, right, So I was laughing because
on Facebook, I think you waited on this thread too, somebody was talking
about how they keep getting ads for wall pilates. Oh yeah, feed,
and I was like, same, I keep seeing these ads for wall plates
and I keep thinking, oh, like this doesn't look like this. Look
you just lay on your back and do some kind of exercises. Against a
wall. I have this thing in my head where I'm like, I mean,
you see these people that are like, I've transformed my body in thirty
days, and I'm like, maybe I'll just like lose a bunch of weight
and look totally different in thirty days and I won't have to put any weight
on my foot. Right, I'm sure I still haven't done it. I'll
let you know, keep let me know, let me know. But the
thing is, I still haven't been able to walk people. I know,
see my neighbor Mitch, who's probably missing me. I mean it's been months,
right, right early June to early September. Yeah, it's been three
months that I've had this foot injury. And when does the doctor say you
can really? He said, I need to do the bone stimulator every day
for twenty minutes for four to six weeks, and he thinks I'll be like
totally healed. So it's been like almost two weeks, but you're seeing in
another two weeks I should be able to like I mean, like it hurts
a little bit, but nothing like it did before. Right, Like I
can walk on it and that's good. Yeah, well that's good. I
know when you see people like trance. Like Jackie's showing me her and her
other cousins, Tiffany, they were all doing this twenty one day challenge kind
of thing, and then she kept going. Now she's now doing another twenty
one day choll and she shows me the before and afters with her and her
cousins, and I was like, holy shit. And it's like, she
works out forty five minutes a day, she's eating healthy, she's drinking her
teas, taking her vitamins. Well, that sounds so easy, right,
It's like, yeah, you just work out forty five minutes a day,
eat healthy. It's like, well, what happens when you don't want to
eat healthy? What happens when you want to have some unhealthy snacks? Right?
And that's the thing is She's like, the more I see progress,
the more I want to keep eating healthy. And then she's on top of
Wendy. She's like, Mom, you know, if you get stoned with
the internet, you're gonna get the munchies. So I don't see yet,
you know. She's like, da, da, da, don't do it.
Don't do it, you know, I mean we she had a vape
pen or whatever once in a while, and then I stopped doing that.
I was like, you know, I don't do it when I'm here,
So I was like, on vacation, it's like, all right, you
know, me and Wendy have the giggles and stuff, but then we're like,
she's right, Jackie's right, Like we shouldn't because then we get the
munchies. Like all right, let's watch a movie. So we watched movies.
We played cards, which was fun. I taught them how to play
spades, which was fun, even though there's three way spades. Have you
ever played spades? No? I love it. It's so fun. Well,
oh, I've played hearts. This is very different, right, it's
different, I think, yeah, yeah, But let's take another break and

the plane that I found very intriguing was what was yes, darling. Is
that the name of it? Oh? I don't Oh. Is that the
one that there was all the controversy about with Harry Style? What was the
controversy? So, by the way, Natali went and saw this in the
theaters when it first came out, and I remember her texting me and I
we were texting back and forth and I said, okay, well be safe,
and then I said what movie are you seeing? And she wrote back,
yes, darling, and I was like, it's called Don't Worry Darling.
Don't worry Darling. And in my text I said something like okay,
well be safe and what movie are you seeing at the same time, and
she wrote back don't worry darling, and I was like, oh, she
kindly darling. I had no idea. I go, wait, what's the
movie because that's the name of the movie. I was like, oh,
I don't feel like an idiot now I don't know this movie's I fel like
I thought we were closer. Yeah, I was like, dying a sweetheart,
I won't worry, but yeah, what was the cut? So it
was she. The controversy is that Olivia Wilde started dating Harry Styles while they
were filming that movie. Yes, Olivia Wilde was the director of the movie.
So Francis, what's the blonde girl? The one who is in the
movie, who was the other star of the movie, Florence Pew was pissed
off. Listen, I could be talking out of my house right now,
but he is. Basically, what I remember is that Florence Pew thought it
was like just unprofessional and ridiculous that Olivia Wilde was like carrying on with Harry
Styles while she was supposed to be directing them all in this movie. And
Florence was Harry Styles's wife in the movie, right, yeah, And okay,
so that's what happened. Are they still together Harry Styles and they both
broke up? Yeah? Yeah, Well anyway, I again not didn't have
the captions on, so I was missing a lot. And now I want
to watch it. I kind of want to watch it again. But I
heard so many mixed reviews about the movie at the time when it came out.
Some people hated it, some people loved it, And I was like,
well, I'll be the judge. Did you see it? No?
I didn't see it, but what what was your feeling? I kind of
liked it, I thought it was interesting, but I but then I was
like, wait then as the movie went on, I don't spoilers, but
I was like, did I get the Do I understand what this? What
was going on in the movie, because I met like I couldn't hear there's
a lot of like dialogue, you know that they don't have the sound levels
like Kaylin does for us. You know, so some scenes are talking quietly
and you know, I can't hear. But but I did. I did
enjoy it. It was visually pleasing. I love that Florence girl. I
think she's a great actress. She's fun to watch, like she's there's just
some people that are when they're acting, you're just like, I don't know,
Like she was just interesting to watch and she was in what she was
in them? Was she and miss them? Miss Summer? Mid Summer?
Mid Summer? Yeah, I haven't seen that. That's supposed that's like a
horror movie which I watched and I didn't get at all. I was like,
Okay, I didn't really get that one either. And that was the
follow up to a really good horror movie called Hereditary that was fantastic, And
then that was that director's follow up and I was very disappointed. I was
like, I don't and some people just love that movie and I didn't get
it at all. Get it. Sonny was like Natalian Sonny were like,
holy shit, that movie scared me. And I was like, right,
no, I guess people out in the field with flowers in their hair.
And once in a while I see it like a horse, like you know,
a flash of somebody like hanging or something like, and then it goes
away, like I don't know what the hell is going on. Maybe I'm
too old for this shit. I don't think they should combine like Shakespeare with
horror. It's just not a good go together. Yeah, maybe that's what
it was like. It just wasn't But she was great. She was she
was fun to watch. And Harry Styles, I think did a good job.
But I recommend it. I'd like to know what people thought of it,
all right. Yeah, I'm loving loving Winning Time. Oh yeah,
oh my god, it's like the best thing is so good. Season two
I think is better than season one. It's just like more exciting, like
more happens every episode, and you know, it's fun to compare it to
well, I watch it with John and and he you know, John.
He's very smart and he knows a lot about a lot. Yes, you
know some people that know a lot about a little and some people that know
a little bit about a lot. John knows a lot about a lot,
like and it's can be annoying because he has a story about no matter what.
Like, but he because he he listens to a lot of books and
he us just knows a lot about history. So if he can just talk
on and on and on about the Lakers seasons and he's like, oh,
and I was at this game and there was this game where I was like,
oh, it was in Hartford and the I took a picture of Larry
Bird and Larry Bird like bumped into it. Like we have to keep pausing
it so he could tell me the story of something that happened. And sometimes
I'm like, oh, that's interesting. But other times I'm like, you
know, it's me. By the time you finish this story, I've forgotten
like where we were in the show, So I'm not gonna have to go
back like sixty seconds. I catch myself up, so like maybe tell me
after. But then he's like yeah, but you know me, once it's
over, I'll have no idea what I was right. We're just two old
people now watching Taddy and TV. It's funny because Ray comes over just to
watch it sometimes because he doesn't have he doesn't have a Max at home.
But he's you know, he knows all about the Lakers, same thing.
He's got it. He'll say something before they even say it, like oh,
that was a championship in nineteen seventy eight when Larry BurrH blah blah blah,
and I was like, I don't give a fuck. Oh my god,
that's John Johnathan talk like narrates it for me. And I'm like,
you know, the show's on right now, like I could like they're narrating
it, like I can actually like show, don't tell like I can see
it happen. You don't need to. It's like a it's like a it's
like a pick yes, like he has to tell me. I'm like,
I know, you know the whole story right right and all something. You
know. It's like yeah, but it's also I'm also proud of him.
It's my husband, and I'm like, yeah, he knows a lot about
this, but shut up. Yeah better than me in a dumb ass.
Yeah, it for sure is you know, because I will literally forget,
like I'll be I'm like in season two and then I'm like, wait,
who is the coach before this? Wait? Okay, so pat Riley's their
coat, right, John's like yeah, through this and the show's been I'm
like, I no, no, I know who was the guy that had
the bike acts right? And He's like Larry, you know, McKinley or
Ackley. Love that guy. So good there. I know the show is
absolutely phenomenal. I'm i gotta catch up, though I haven't. I've been.
One of the things I've been binging is Locked Up Abroad. Oh remember
when it was a podcast and it was all the episodes and then they just
stopped posting episodes. I don't know, but like I got I had there.
It's on you can get it on Disney Plus. It's on Disney Plus.
And so when I was traveling at my laptop and I was sleeping in
Wendy's guest room, no TV, so I hadn't, so all I was
doing was watching Locked Up a Brah. I freaking love that show. It
is so well done. So I'm watching it and I'm thinking, God,
they get these actors portraying you know, have you've seen it. Have you
seen the show? I mean yeah, like a long time ago. Yeah,
So they'll be like, you know, Stephanie Wylder Taylor was you know,
kidnapped in Saudia, Arabia, and she's telling her story. So you're,
you know, you're sitting in a room narrating the story. But they
go back and forth to the actors, right, the dramatic recreation exactly,
And I'm just like, they must have a big budget, Like look at
them. They're in the airport, Like look at all these extras. Like
don't that's the kind of stuff that goes through my mind, right, you
know, and like even the lady at the ticket counter, she's playing it
so well, like they acting is really great. By the way, That's
the kind of television John was like doing did show. I mean, that's
what he did for years and years and years. I love it. Higher
actors, for the dramatic recreation, book, the locations that he was a
producer for all those types of shows. Oh my god, I should talk
to him. You got a lot of questions. Yeah, it's really it's
it's so good though, but like you watch it and you go, I'm
going through a hard time but if this bitch survived seven years in a Peruvian
prison, like like what am I boooing about? Give me a break?
Like it just brings you back to me, you know. Yeah, they
get out of like they get stuck in a in a prison, like just
these dumb kids like get talked into smuggling coking. Just strap it to your
body, you'll be fine. You'll get right through, you know. And
it's like they go through security and they're they're busted, and next thing you
know, they're in a freaking jail for seven years, six years, five,
I mean along to some of them, nine years. Some of them
were kidnapped, and we're like gone for three years in a jungle when they
were just on a vacation. This is what I don't understand. I would
be so scared to like I couldn't even shoplift. I told you the story.
I mean, I shoplifted the time that I was like seven candy and
got busted and peed my pants, peed my wrang my pink Wrangler jeans,
right, And then I tried one more time when I was like a teenager
and I stole something really stupid, and I remember thinking like, oh my
god, my heart was beating so hard. I was so scared to get
caught. I cannot as much of a like badass as I can be,
and like, like, I mean, I've done lots of scary things,
but I cannot imagine I cannot the balls the trumba lafa to think that I'm
gonna get away with smuggling drugs. Like how does anybody just go like,
yeah, I'm gonna try it. I'm sure it'll be fine. What There's
so many ways to get caught. There's drug sniffing dogs. Yeah, There's
people that their sole job is to catch your ass trying to smuggle drugs,
like yeah, and so there's some stories where like I thought I was gonna
get busted, but I made it through. Like so I did it again.
Yeah, I did it again five times over, and then I kept
doing it and then it's like I should have called it quits, but I
felt like, you know, but I was invincible. And then of course
they're gonna get busted. They got busted, you know, right, and
then like they're in fucking some jail somewhere in the middle of like god knows
where, there's nobody coming to help you. You're just fucked you're just there.
There's literally no stories of anybody that's like, yeah, I was,
I smuggled drugs for like fifteen years, but I got ever got caught.
There's no story like that. There's no podcast with people they're like, yeah,
that was literally like my job right for quite made a lot of money
by a house. Yeah. Then there was the one about the DA agent
that took down if you watched Narcos Mexico, remember the the Lord of the
Skies, Armano whatever, he was the one that looked like David Schwimmer,
that the head of the cartels. So that guy was talking telling the true
story about hunting him, and he was like, I was a DA agent,
you know, in El Paso, Texas, and I grew up always
wanting to be in law enforcement. I wanted to catch the bad guys.
And I'm thinking, God, that does sound fun, Like I want to
be and El Paso, I'm trying to catch bad guys. I want to
be a DA agent. But then I don't want to, like I don't
want to get in a like a like a gunfight. Like can I just
like be a DA agent get off the couch? No? Like, but
then can I just Google, shiit somebody else to go, like get in
a gunfight, Like, I'll tell you where to go, I'll do the
research, right, but I don't want to get out of the car.
That's how I am. I have a lot of big ideas about and a
lot of stuff sounds interesting, just like you. But I'm like, God,
that sounds like a real go getter kind of like right, anybolves like
going back to school, you know what I mean? A lot of these
things. You're like what I like if I wanted to be let's say private
a private eye. Yeah, me too. I feel like you there have
to be some kind of training course that you have to go through. You
can't just ride on your good ideas, you know. Like I've seen some
shows about this, and I have some like ways that I think I would
go with it. Right, I'm going to do it my way. I
just need some clients have faith in me to see that I'm not just a
dreamer like I am a doer, like you know, right, who's with
me? Paying me? Yeah them? Mummy? Yeah yeah? And then
just send somebody else out there to do the work. Yep. Well,
this has been a lot of fun. I'm no longer saying like this has
been a great show, because fuck off you all judge me and go like,
