Yeah, yeah, every day we had a 56 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,399 good time. Uh, you know, it was fun. Sonny and I 57 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,839 traveled by ourselves the first first couple of days, and then Natalia stayed and 58 00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:43,920 had a little Thanksgiving holiday with her boyfriend and then got on the plane and 59 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:48,839 met us, and oh my god, Wendy made like she made the best 60 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:55,360 turkey. We Uh, she made a turkey, and then she decided because 61 00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,519 she hasn't cooked thanks I didn't realize this, but she hadn't made Thanksgiving meal 62 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,040 in like years because usually they go either like to Florida or she goes to 63 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,720 like her daughter in law's house and they've been making Thanksgiving. But this year 64 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,040 she had everybody come to her house and she made the turkey, and then 65 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,399 we ordered the sides from Capitol Grill, I think is the restaurant, and 66 00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:25,959 eh, I mean, you know when you order it from a restaurant, 67 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,120 it doesn't have that flavor. It seems so like, you know, kind 68 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,360 of like the stuffing was. I was really looking forward to the stuffing and 69 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,439 it's like these big ass, like Creuton looking pieces of bread and shit in 70 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,360 there. It's like, just do the stovetop stuff, like we should have 71 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:46,439 made it. I didn't even think about it, but because it was you 72 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,160 know, it's gonna be a lot of work, and it was a lot 73 00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:53,560 and it was all fell on Wendy, which also of course fell on me 74 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,680 because it still was a lot of work because even ordering out all the sides, 75 00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,439 yes, because first of all, she's got grandchildren that you know, 76 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,319 they they eat like mac and cheese and whatever, so she's gonna make them 77 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,839 their thing. Then we had to go pick up the turkey. We had 78 00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,519 to, you know, dress the turkey. It just was I don't it 79 00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:21,120 was a lot of work. It seems like, oh, this is yes. 80 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,439 So she goes this year, I don't want to make I'm gonna just 81 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,519 make the turkey. I'm gonna order all the sides. We don't have to 82 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:32,240 cook anything. I'll make appetizers. Because she was literally across the street from 83 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Trader Joe's. It's like her pantry is Trader Joe's. Like, oh, 84 00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:39,920 I forgot butter, can you go? We just like go across the street 85 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:43,800 get Trader Joe's. Okay. So she's like, I'll make the you know, 86 00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:47,560 all the apps from Trader Joe's and blah blah blah, but you okay. 87 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,439 But then it's like then the kids come the day before Thanksgiving and there's 88 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,079 just breadcrumbs everywhere. They make a mess if you forgets mobile muffins up the 89 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:03,160 ying Yang. So there's we have Nicholas who's got a well he's like six 90 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:10,680 almost six months old, and z and then you got Anthony's kids, Riley 91 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:16,480 and Wessy. Wessy Wes he is two and he's a terrible two. And 92 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,759 then Riley she's like six. Okay, she's fun, like she's really she's 93 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,319 they're both, I mean, they're all great kids. But when they come 94 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,600 there, they're just like, you know, Nana, I want some more 95 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560 bread, buddy, Nana, I want some more Nana?

So it was a 100 00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:53,720 lot of cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, and a lot of like setting everything 101 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:58,000 up and like and then and then with the kids, Caylin, you know, 102 00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:01,680 they make a mess and and you have to clean it all up and 103 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,800 then they make it a mess again, and then it's like, oh a 104 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,079 never ending just never yeh. That happens like somewhere between seven and ten times 105 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,399 a day. Yeah. And when they always seem like they're gonna help, 106 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:13,639 well, you're like, guys, come and help put your toys away, 107 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,680 and they're like no, bye bye. Oh. They throw the biggest fits, 108 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,480 especially Isila just will not do it. And then if one's doing it 109 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:28,040 and the other one isn't helping out. Uh oh, then and then one 110 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,560 is one is doing it, they're dragging the other one in to do it, 111 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:31,639 like oh yeah, you get your ass in here and help me. 112 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,720 And Wendy is anal and wants her floors like spotless, so because she's got 113 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:43,159 like little kids crawling around on the floor. So she's constantly like we're vacuuming, 114 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320 and you know, there's people that are in town are coming over there 115 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,879 eating in her kitchen. There's dishes just constantly. So I'm always like read 116 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,480 unloading the disharger loading the dish.

It was three nights. Yeah, and she had a 137 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:20,879 great time and you know, we had a we had and then that as 138 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,120 they're nice thing is that everybody lives like so close and Sonny loves to walk, 139 00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,600 so Sonny was like walking from house to house. But we everybody lives 140 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,240 in Chicago, like they're all within like walking distance of each other's houses, 141 00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:35,559 which is really nice. So there's not a lot of like getting the car 142 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,039 of New York kinda yeah, because I've never I've been to Chicago for a 143 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:46,039 blogging conference, but I've never spent like a lot of time there. Not. 144 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,559 It's where they're in the suburbs, and I mean some of it is 145 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,879 you know, there's one house that is walking distance the other one. I 146 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,879 mean you could walk, but like it's freezing, so you want to like 147 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:00,600 get in the car, right whatever. But so there night, that was 148 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:01,919 the nice thing. There's not a lot of getting in the car and getting 149 00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:05,440 in traffic and driving to somebody else's house. Every and everybody was coming to 150 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:11,440 her house, to Wendy's like her house was central location, and we watched 151 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:13,879 movies. And then that's the other thing. It's like, let's watch a 152 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,000 movie tonight, so we all go in to watch a movie. I'm the 153 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:20,519 only one up. Everybody's asleep, like Wendy's like, I'm going to bed. 154 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,200 I gotta get up early and put the bird in the oven. Like 155 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,399 everybody's like, but you're like, it's kind of earlier for me, Yeah, 156 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,240 because yeah, two hours it's two hours earlier for me, right, 157 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,879 And then you know, and then you feel like if I sleep until like 158 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,080 eight o'clock, nine o'clock. It's like, you know, it's it's it's 159 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,759 really like six o'clock my time. So I'm like, oh, I got 160 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,639 I gotta get up, you know. So you know, yeah, it 161 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,639 was hard to get adjusted. But man, I was exhausted. Oh and 162 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,240 we could talk about this on Friday show. But I watched Squid Squid Games 163 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,720 because all I had was Netflix in my room. So I like the actual 164 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,080 Squid Games or the new reality show.

I don't know. I think people are really sewing. Yeah 170 00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:26,639 one of ours. Yeah, her son's on it. Are you serious? 171 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,879 I saw that last night. Yeah, she posted in the in the group 172 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,559 once it aired, I guess you know, she probably wasn't allowed to say 173 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,960 anything. Yeah, it's what's her It's a god. I don't want to 174 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,039 Well, you'll see, I don't remember, we have to make her come 175 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,360 to the hang so she can talk to us about Oh yeah for sure. 176 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:50,600 Okay, yeah, her sons in it out yourself? Tell us who you 177 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:52,679 are, she did, Okay, all right, well we'll invite you to 178 00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:58,159 the hang. Yeah. But yeah it's really good. Yeah, okay, 179 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,879 yeah, I'll get on it. Yeah it's good. Oh. I was 180 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360 kind of suspicious of it me too. You know the first one, you 181 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:07,320 know, you watch it and it's like the show, so it's it's what's 182 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,639 the game called light? Yeah, like, how are they deciding who gets 183 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,559 hit with the paintball? That's what I kind of arbitrary? I agree, 184 00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:18,679 I agree, And I was like, I was thinking, did they hire 185 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,320 Like I felt like maybe they were hired, Like I feel like, I 186 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,480 don't know. In my brain. In the first episode, I was like, 187 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,759 I wonder if they have like ten contestants that are actual contestants because there's 188 00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:33,039 so many of them, there's like a hundreds. Yeah, and so I 189 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,320 was like, did I wonder if the rest are just extras? But I 190 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,039 don't know, I don't know, were they really Just the amount of technology 191 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,320 it's and people you would have to have working on the show to make sure 192 00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:48,440 that every time they say and there's no official stop, it's whenever this head 193 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,200 turns around. Right, So it's like, okay, when when when do 194 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,000 you determine if they've moved after that or not? And you know, I 195 00:13:56,039 --> 00:14:01,360 was very suspective that a friend of mine is casting person for it. Oh 196 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,320 do we could have her on our show? I would love that. I 197 00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:09,799 think we had her on you and I had her on certain skilled rewind. 198 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:13,519 Her name's Robin Cass. Yeah, she also cast. She casts the Early 199 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,639 She's cast a lot of stuff. She does blow deck, I believe house 200 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:24,600 Bosler. No, but she did. We had her on for some reason 201 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,519 because it had to do with the reality shows, right, Yeah, she's 202 00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:31,559 she's fun and funny, and yeah we should have her. Okay, yeah, 203 00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:35,679 let's take a quick break. All right, we're back. Okay, 204 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:39,480 so you're watching you what I had, like net, it's all I had 205 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,519 in my room.

How are your flights? You know, it's 235 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,039 pretty easy. I thought it was going to be a nightmare. But coming 236 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,600 home on Saturday, we had a We didn't get in till eleven, which 237 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,840 was nice because once we got to when The nice thing too, is Wendy 238 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:56,440 lives seven minutes from O'Hare, like very close.

And then so we're seven minutes from the 242 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,119 airport, and oh hair, but then at Lax we landed. We landed 243 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,759 at eleven. It was kind of empty on Saturday, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 244 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,960 And then we flew home from Lax because it's eleven o'clock on a Saturday 245 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:23,680 night. Oh. Like, for one second, I was like, you 246 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:29,960 chartered at from Lax. Yeah, we did your house. Took a helicopter 247 00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:33,480 from Lax to my house, like we flew home. I really seriously took 248 00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:36,319 my brain a minute to just go, oh, you mean you just went 249 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,160 fast? Yeah, I got it. We went fast. No traffic got 250 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,240 it, which is nice. Had you parked at the airport or did you? 251 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,079 Or we took it? We took over. Yeah, it was nice. 252 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,079 It was it. Yeah, it was great. How is your Thanksgiving? 253 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:56,079 So our Thanksgiving was was very nice? Uh. I don't want to 254 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:03,359 like retread this old territory too much. But many years ago, my mother, 255 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:10,759 very unlike Wendy, was completely inflexible about where to have Thanksgiving, and 256 00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:14,920 she had it. She has an apartment in West Hollywood. It was like 257 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,200 a small two bedroom, but a small two bedroom, you know, two 258 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,480 bedroom apartment, a small apartment, but would have me and my brother and 259 00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:29,039 my sister and like a family friend of hers or two and that's it, 260 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,960 and it would you know whatever. And when I had my own house when 261 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,720 I was you know, and I had LB. So the first Thanksgiving. 262 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,880 I know I've told this story so many times, but the first Thanksgiving. 263 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,720 Elbe's birthdays on the twelfth, So the first Thanksgiving after I had her, 264 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,720 I was ten days out of a c section, and my mom insisted that 265 00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,640 we have Thanksgiving at her apartment and I had to go there and make something. 266 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,599 There was no like, you know what, just grab John and the 267 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:02,920 baby and come over and enjoy. No, no, what are you making? 268 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,960 Yeah? God, I had had a baby ten days ago. Whatever, 269 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:11,000 I should have a baby too, to be my first baby. And 270 00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:15,039 I was crying NonStop. I was on pain meds. I was trying to 271 00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:19,160 breastfeed. I was like miserable. I couldn't get the breastfeeding. And I 272 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,920 know I've told this story so many times, but bad memories. But going 273 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,880 in the bedroom, my boobs were like on fire, you know, because 274 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,000 the milk, because the milk wasn't really hadn't come in like I had had 275 00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:36,559 the breast reduction when I was twenty, so there was like scar tissue. 276 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,160 It wasn't working, and I was just miserable. And then I think I 277 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,759 told you that my mother was mad because I was in the bedroom and you 278 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,759 know, I have like freaking eighteen pillows. I'm like, I need more 279 00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:52,880 pillows, more pillows. I'm like stacking them up, trying to do the 280 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,079 football hole, like you know, I get. It's like I needed like 281 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,559 a lactation consultant with me at all times, because you know the lact I 282 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:03,720 had a lotctation consultant come over or I went to the pump station or whatever, 283 00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:07,039 and they show you. Then you get home and you're like, what 284 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,960 it worked. They're like, see see she's latched on. And then you're 285 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,759 like, well, great, you you did it now. But also even 286 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:21,200 when they latch on at the pump station, then when you go to like 287 00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:23,799 pop your nipple back out, I had to wear those nipple shields that look 288 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:30,240 like little oh yeah, plastic pinnatas over your nips, and they because I 289 00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,240 was in so much pain, I had to have the nipple. So I 290 00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:37,240 have, like I'm at my mom, I have the numbing had numbing cream, 291 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,160 I had cooling, I had those like cooling circles, like you have 292 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,880 to keep putting them in the freezer to cool them back down. Then I 293 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,559 had the pinatas. Then I've got like, I've got so much crap of 294 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,799 me. Right, I packed for like a cruise just to go over the 295 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,480 hill for this Thanksgiving. It was such a pain in the ass. Right 296 00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:02,000 that the following year, my mom got mad while I was in the bedroom 297 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,519 and she was like, why don't you come out of it and enjoin us. 298 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:10,680 Meanwhile, her friend who had had a cold, I've got a brand 299 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:17,000 new baby, and she's like, that's perfect. Arlene's sick feeling like are 300 00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:21,200 you joking? Like you know she's sick. I got a brand new baby. 301 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,799 I'm already a hyper drive of anxiety. So anyway, then my mom 302 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,720 was annoyed because I went in the other room to breastfeed, and you know, 303 00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,279 was there for too long, right, you know, I know I 304 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,440 normally talk only beautiful and beautiful terms about my mother. But the point is 305 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,519 the following year, I was like this, that wasn't that fun. Now 306 00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:45,079 I've got a one year old. Right, she had just turned one, 307 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:51,480 and she would only sleep in her crib and she was very like I knew 308 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:52,960 that it would be just too long a day for her and she wasn't going 309 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:57,079 to nap over there. And so my brilliant thinking, especially because I also 310 00:21:57,079 --> 00:22:03,960 wanted to enjoy some wine at that time, was everybody should come to my 311 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,640 house. I have a I have a house, yes, a big house 312 00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:12,559 in my estimation in Los Angeles. I have a dining room table, I 313 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:17,160 have a kitchen. Come over. And I told my mom, like, 314 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,279 come over and bring Arlene bring you know, hopefully she want to have exactly 315 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:26,039 but like whatever my kids won, she's fine now, you know. And 316 00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:29,559 then I my mom like lost her mind. It was like no, absolutely 317 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:32,680 not. It's my holiday. I own this holiday and I will not. 318 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:34,400 And it was like making me sad when I was hearing you talk about how 319 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,359 Wendy's like sometimes she goes here and then she's like at once when you're once, 320 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,039 everybody over and is happy to go. You know what I mean. 321 00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:47,079 It's like, I so, and that's what ruined our relationship, right, 322 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,200 she was so funded, like I mean, what kind of grandmother? I 323 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,279 don't know, I know, I know, But then ever since then I 324 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,400 was like, well, okay, like she was offended in and she didn't 325 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,119 want to come. So we had thanksgiving up my house and it was really 326 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:10,559 nice and I wasn't that sad and it was so much less stressful. Oh, 327 00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:15,720 my brother came, my sister didn't. She boycotted, and I guess 328 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,400 went to my parents. My brother came, my sister in law came. 329 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,720 They didn't have a kid yet. But some of our friends, some of 330 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:26,200 our orphan friends. We just invited people over that didn't have somewhere to go, 331 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,960 some of our close friends. It was a beautiful day. We got 332 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,480 we made turkey, but then our friend brought like a smoke turkey because our 333 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,559 turkey came out terrible, but the smoke turkey saved the day. Like it 334 00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:41,920 was a really nice time, thus creating the tradition of it being my family 335 00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:47,160 and my brother's family. And then ever now they have two kids, and 336 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,880 now their kids are thirteen and nine, and then like around ten years ago, 337 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,359 I want to say, we added on friends that are really good friends 338 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,799 with my brothers, but that I've known forever too, our friends Jeff and 339 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000 Gina and their daughter. So it's us. It's just the three families. 340 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,200 That's so nice, and it's I'm come you don't because they're out. Why 341 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,559 you don't have it at your house sometimes because I would would, I would 342 00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:17,200 love to, and it's but I'm not like, no, we're having it 343 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,119 at my house. It's fine. It's just that my sister in law has 344 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,279 a beautiful house out there and she likes to host, she likes it being 345 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:29,359 it and the other family is also in Santa Clarita, so i'd be asking 346 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,839 all of them to drive to me. I don't know. It's yeah, 347 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,279 it's fine. It's it became kind of the tradition, and it's fine with 348 00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:38,880 me. If I was to one year be like, I really really wanted 349 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,039 to do it at my house, my sister in law would be like, 350 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,200 all right, right, right, but it's just the way it's always been 351 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,680 done now. I think it's because it was done at my house for a 352 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,720 few years. But then they moved to Santa Clarita and got a house, 353 00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:56,519 and then I think they were like, well, now we have this nice 354 00:24:56,559 --> 00:25:02,519 house and we want to have it here, right, And then they had 355 00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:04,880 babies, so it was like easier for us to go to them. At 356 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:11,440 that point. We brought Penelope. You did, so, uh. The 357 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,279 only thing I will kind of bitch about is that? So we always order 358 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:19,079 from Gelson's. Right, we get to ask the turkey it's cooked, but 359 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:26,160 it's not hot. It's frozen, frozen, so the turkey is frozen, 360 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,039 but you have to put it in. You have to cleank it. It's 361 00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:33,079 already like seasoned and everything. It's so you just have to put it in 362 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:37,519 the oven for like two hours. Got it okay, So which is no 363 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:41,240 big deal. But they also make you buy the It's like not a kit. 364 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,160 It's just you buy everything pre made, all the sides right, kind 365 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,079 of like from a restaurant, but everything's frozen, got it, So you 366 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,480 just time everything and you put out. But over the years, our Galson's 367 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:57,599 meal has gotten skimpier and skimpier, and also they've switched out some sides for 368 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:03,279 shit you would never eat. Like instead of it used to be sweet potatoes, 369 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,240 mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, instead of that, it's mashed potatoes, 370 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:15,920 creamed corn, and green bean castrole, which our other friend Gina makes green 371 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,000 bean castle, and they make stuffing and it's stuffing. It's small portions. 372 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,640 But if you order the meal for twelve people, even though there's twelve of 373 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,839 us, some of them are kids. Not everybody eats everything. So we 374 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,440 order the meal for eight people, which is plenty of turkey, not enough 375 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,960 sides. It just became a thing where it's like everybody ends up making sides 376 00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:38,839 anyway. And then my sister in law doesn't really want to do anything. 377 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,279 She does the appetizers, so she's like, there's hardly any sides here, 378 00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:48,240 and I'm like, I know, Dollson's is like gotten cheat. So then 379 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,640 she's like, well, let's just cater it next year, and I'm like, 380 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,400 no, bitch, we're catering it. Ain't there real housewives catering company 381 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,839 for twelve people are Come on, everybody can bring something, That's what I'm 382 00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:07,319 saying. Like we'll buy the turkey all a cart like from wherever Gelson's or 383 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,799 Raps or something, and then like make a side. She's like, I'm 384 00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:12,359 not making I was like, we'll just make mashed potatoes. She's like, 385 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,839 I'm not making mashed potato. We'll just order it. There's companies that do 386 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:21,279 it. I'm like, yeah, but I know, I hire a company 387 00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:25,519 to make us some sweet potatoes. And it's pretty easy, Like each side 388 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,319 could be easy if it's just if you're just bringing let's say you and the 389 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,160 other two, the other couple, and like, if everybody's in charge of 390 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,680 like two sides, it's pretty simple. It's not that hard, right, 391 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,039 And already Gina and Jeff made the stuffing and the green bean castle, so 392 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:49,200 like, I'm happy to make mashed potatoes and like something else a salad it 393 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,480 is, but I don't mind doing it as only catering it. I mean 394 00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:59,319 every year I would make the turkey and the mashed potatoes and the green beans 395 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,640 and the sweet potatoes and the stuffing and the homemade cranberry sauce. Oh hell 396 00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,200 no, and that's a bridge too far. Yeah, And here's the other 397 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:11,119 thing, Like Wendy's like, oh, I forgot about a salad should I 398 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,039 make? I'll just go across the street to Trader Joe's and know they're closed 399 00:28:14,079 --> 00:28:15,759 on things. Yeah, but like the day before so she goes to we 400 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:21,200 go to get this salad and then come. So then here's the other thing. 401 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,359 A lot of work people think, oh, you just everybody brings it, 402 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,160 blah blah blah. Well, when you're hosting, you gotta have a 403 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:32,279 clean fridge because otherwise you can't where you're gonna put the turkey, or where 404 00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:34,400 are you gonna put all the stuffing right where you're gonna put blah blah blah, 405 00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:37,559 you have to. So my job was to clean the fridge for her. 406 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,880 And this bitch got two of everything, like two ranches to this to 407 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,839 that, like like, oh are you gonna do with all this stuff? 408 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,279 Remember when I developed a bit of a sour cream problem? Remember when I 409 00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:52,440 always had like five different sour creams and John would get mad and go, 410 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,440 why are there so many sour creams? Because every time I'd go to the 411 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,000 store, I'd be like, I think we might be at a sower cream 412 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,440 because I don't know. I don't check the fridge. I know, I 413 00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:06,920 know. So she yes, so she's got like an she puts everything in 414 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,640 the refrigerator. I'm like, I don't think this needs to be free soy 415 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,680 sauce, Like does it mean to be refrigerated? I don't know? And 416 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,359 then how about the peanut butter? Is she one of those people that puts 417 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,319 peanut butter in the refrigerator? Nobody's a monster sauce? She puts hot sauce? 418 00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:23,799 Oh yeah, how many hot sauces she has? She's got the truffle 419 00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:27,400 hot sauce. She got the traditional hot size, Like you don't need all 420 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,119 this hot sauce in the fridge, Like, come on, So I clean 421 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,640 out the fridge and then we have the dinner, and lo and behold and 422 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,119 they make room for the caesar salad that she had to go by. We 423 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,200 completely forgot about the salad. And ain't nobody trying to eat a salad? 424 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,680 We eat. Everybody eats salad every single day out of the I mean pretty 425 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,440 much eat a salad all the time. Ain't nobody trying to eat a motherfucking 426 00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,680 salad on Thanksgiving? That's the night, that's the time you want to eat 427 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:03,319 like starch and arms, right right. That's why when when my sister in 428 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,039 law was like, oh, well, we're gonna need vegetables, like somebody 429 00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:10,680 to make the catering the mix, I was like, nobody's gonna eat the 430 00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:15,680 vegetables. Don't get a special catering company for the vegetables. If there's anything 431 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,519 that you could not have exact people would not miss. Nobody's going to be 432 00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:26,200 like, where's the vegetables. Nobody, nobody, no. And if you're 433 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,599 gonna have vegetables, you gotta drench it and all that other like like, 434 00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:34,079 uh, the casserole, the green bean casserole, right right. I'm like, 435 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,279 well, oh, I said, I said, well we have the 436 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:38,920 green bean castle. She's like, well, that's just like full of like 437 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,759 that's with all the cream and stuff. We need it now want to? 438 00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:45,119 And I was like, no, we don't, we don't need that. 439 00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:48,680 Nobody is going to be like, oh, god, if we only had 440 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:55,480 some steam broccoli. Can somebody make some steam broccoli for God's sake? No? 441 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,279 No, They're going to be like, is there any more mashed potatoes? 442 00:30:57,599 --> 00:31:03,839 Yeah, we're gravy. Yes, Oh the gravy. That's another kashaw, 443 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,920 you know, trying to make a gravy, Like oh, they forgot 444 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,960 the gravy when we got when we picked up everything, or maybe Nicholas forgot 445 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,519 to get it. I don't know. Somewhere along the line the gravy was 446 00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:19,400 gone. So Wendy had to make the gravy, which requires like, uh, 447 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:25,640 what's it called? Uh? When you uh, the not the power, 448 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,680 what do you call a flower? Oh? Okay, so Wendy has 449 00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:30,759 flower because she bakes all the time. But if it was in my house, 450 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:34,559 I'd be screwed because I'm not a baker, and when anything calls for 451 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,680 flower, I'm out. Anything that calls for car cornstarch or flower or some 452 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,799 seed oil or something that I don't have, I'm out. I've had. 453 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,400 My house is like there is flower, but God knows how it could be. 454 00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:52,559 That's the other thing, yes, because nothing ever gets yes, nothing 455 00:31:52,599 --> 00:31:56,440 gets thrown away in my house because like, well, we might need that, 456 00:31:56,759 --> 00:31:57,799 right, So it's like, well we might need that, well not 457 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,680 for many years? Yes, come well. Sadie went through a cake baking 458 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:07,000 phase, a brief caick baking phase. Remember when I bought her this like 459 00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:12,079 camp Yolanda or some YouTuber the face, and then we I had to buy 460 00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:15,480 her all this equipment, so I had to. I was out at home 461 00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:19,480 Goods buying her like a twelve dollars cake pan this and ended up costing me. 462 00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:23,119 So the camp itself was like forty bucks, but everything else came to 463 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:28,119 like three hundred by the time I bought all the ingredients, food ingredients, 464 00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:30,880 but then all the bakewear. Because I was not a baker, it was 465 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,680 like ridiculously too expensive. And then she never did it again, right, 466 00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:37,759 got that out of her sister, let me, I'll tell you. So 467 00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:43,640 let's take a quick break and then i'll tell you. Okay, and we're 468 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,079 back. So the day before, I think, no, two days before 469 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:51,720 the day after we got there in Chicago. Okay, Anthony's wife, Sam's 470 00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:54,240 birthday. So Anthony says, everybody, come to my house. I'm going 471 00:32:54,279 --> 00:33:00,160 to order Chicago pizza and we're just going to have like cake and pizza. 472 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:04,720 So then I wake up the next morning, I smell in the house cake 473 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,759 and I go down and Wendy's baking Sam a cake. But she didn't know 474 00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:15,279 she was. Anthony asked, could you make Sam's favorite cake that morning? 475 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,920 I would have flipped out. She's like, yeah, sure, no problem. 476 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,200 She made her a huge like cake. Oh my god. Yes. 477 00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:28,400 And she had food color because Sam's favorite color is lavender and purple. She 478 00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:31,319 made the cake lavender. So she's putting like the food coloring in the in 479 00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:35,920 the whip cream. She she whipped, she creamed, she covered it with 480 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,839 whip cream, not frosting. Wow. So she made like a vanilla cake. 481 00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:44,920 The two she had the cake. Who's got cake tins anyway, by 482 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,119 the way, Yeah, and she's got the mixer going and so she makes 483 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,920 and then she made the blueberry and strawberry in the middle with the whip cream. 484 00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:58,400 Oh my god, and the cake was beautiful. It was like, 485 00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,519 how what like are you? I would have cried if I had to make 486 00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:06,359 a cake the morning before Thanksgiving. Even in tears, She's like, you 487 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,599 had no problem. I got I only had one box of cake mix. 488 00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:12,400 I had to go across the street get another box. But after that she 489 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,000 had everything she needed to make cake, Like crazy, yeah, I wish 490 00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:19,559 I could do that kind of shit. I mean, I will say that 491 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,519 Sadie does well. When once you said cake mix, I was like, 492 00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:25,880 okay, well, Sadie like made Elbie's birthday cake. Sadie was like, 493 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,719 okay, I got it. That's nice, but we did make I mean 494 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,880 she didn't make the frosting right right, you know, yeah, I don't 495 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,159 even have time to do that. I'm like, no, I know, 496 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:44,960 even if I have to just mix something with like a whisk, that sounds 497 00:34:45,039 --> 00:34:47,960 labor intensive. I know, I know. And I just got like I 498 00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:52,280 made a list of things around her house that are like that come in handy, 499 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,840 like she like at like at our house, Adam loves the thing that 500 00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:05,440 whisks, the makes the the the battery powered hand coffee frother. Right, 501 00:35:05,159 --> 00:35:08,039 Okay, so he likes that thing, but that thing is always floating around 502 00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:13,079 the kitchen. It's either like laying in the on top of the sink after 503 00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:15,480 because it's been because you rinse it, and then what do you put it? 504 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,360 If you put it in the drawer, then you can't find it. 505 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,199 It gets lost. Blah blah blah. What is Wendy has. She's got 506 00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:24,239 a holder next to the coffee machine that you just put it in and it 507 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,800 holds the frother, and I was like, well, that's a great idea. 508 00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:31,880 Then she's got this thing that goes over the sink that she got on 509 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:38,519 Amazon, and it's the dish rack. Instead of taking up counter space of 510 00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:43,559 a dish rack, she's got like it looks like your sink's in jail. 511 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,400 So it's got like bars and it's magnetic and you pull it over the sink. 512 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,440 I've never seen that and then boom like that kind of stuff like just 513 00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:54,239 little tips and things around the house that I was like, Oh, I 514 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,880 could use that. We had a frother holder at the studio for many years 515 00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:02,360 while I was there. Oh, you did. Why didn't he get one 516 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,519 from home? Like I think Matt FONDI probably just ordered him one. I'm 517 00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:12,880 gonna buy one of those for John for Christmas. A frother, Yeah, 518 00:36:13,079 --> 00:36:17,159 a frother hold a battery card. They are fun. Yeah we okay, 519 00:36:17,519 --> 00:36:22,920 for sure that's going on the list. But I don't even have a spoon 520 00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:25,840 rust. That's how low tech. I don't even have a spoon rust. 521 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,079 And every time I'm making like a chili or something, I'm like, I 522 00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:34,840 really need a spoon rust. Like I'm like putting an old newspaper out on 523 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,320 the counter. Well, because where are you gonna put your spoon? I'm 524 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,760 like, I got a wooden spoon, I got this spoon. I'm stirring 525 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,519 things and I'm like I got nowhere to put it. And every time that 526 00:36:43,639 --> 00:36:46,159 happens, I'm like, I need a spoon rust. And then I've just 527 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:51,719 never pulled the trigger to buy. It's never. I'm never in like a 528 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,239 bed bath and beyond which are clothes now anyway, But I'm never do you 529 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,960 know what I mean, I'm never like in target, going like you know 530 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,920 what, I need a spoon rust. You'd think after another spoon rust emergency 531 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,199 I would just go on Amazon and order a spoon rest. But I think 532 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,760 one time I went to go do it and I got overwhelmed by all the 533 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,599 choices. Oh yeah, you know, we used to have one that Italia 534 00:37:10,679 --> 00:37:14,559 made. Then it broke. It was like her little hand, like she 535 00:37:14,679 --> 00:37:17,679 made it in kindergarten. But that broke. And then I and then at 536 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:23,840 my condo, I use a paper pilate what cooking. But that's what I 537 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,559 mean. Yeah, but when you're like, oh, that's an invention, 538 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:34,280 that that's some news I could use having something place to rest my spoon enough 539 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,559 make things enough to want to rest a spoon. Yeah, but no, 540 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,840 no, never not. You should tell your kids you want one for Christmas. 541 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,559 I was gonna tell John, you know what I could really use as 542 00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:50,920 a spoon rust somebody, somebody needs to pull the trigger on that. How 543 00:37:51,039 --> 00:37:57,079 was it was good? It was nice. It was, you know, 544 00:37:57,119 --> 00:37:59,639 nothing out of the ordinary. A couple people that normally come. We're out 545 00:37:59,639 --> 00:38:01,599 of town, so it was a little smaller, but yeah, everything went 546 00:38:01,639 --> 00:38:06,199 off without a hitch. Did your kids eat good? No? No, 547 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,360 of course not no, No they didn't they didn't need did they like the 548 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,280 ham? I love hamd yeah, like the ham. That was about it. 549 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,360 I don't and she likes we have like you know, they just passed 550 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,880 around like pickles and olives just as a little dish. And Iola loves pickles, 551 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,079 so she just had like pickles and ham mostly for like wouldn't eat the 552 00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:28,920 turkey, wouldn't net the hand, Yeah, wouldn't eat mashed potatoes, nothing, 553 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,960 really nothing. Every year I try and get them to try stuffing because 554 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,960 I love it so much. They refuse every year. They Yeah, I 555 00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:40,199 get it. There's too many things going on even if you don't have the 556 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,880 celery, and that there's still too many colors, too many like shades of 557 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,159 beige that you're not it's not uniform enough for kids. I think, yeah, 558 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,360 yeah, well so for the past well anyway, for the past few 559 00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:55,920 months at least, so both girls they go to the same school, and 560 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,000 it's like a Christian Catholic one or one of them. It's in a church. 561 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,119 I don't know which one it is. This will let you know how 562 00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:07,360 much we care about religion. We don't. But they do this thing in 563 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:13,280 school where they do this little pre prayer jingle and then they do like a 564 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,760 cute little prayer before they eat snack time and then they Blake brought it home 565 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:20,440 for so she does that before dinner. She loves doing that before dinner every 566 00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:22,760 night. And it's super cute and super adorable. Again, we are not 567 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,880 religious, we don't care. It's just a cute thing that she does. 568 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,320 So we let her do it. And so for the last month we've been 569 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,639 like, all right, get ready, you're gonna do it Thanksgiving, go 570 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,440 ahead, and then uh, and then now Ila's kind of starting to find 571 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,239 like, I want to do the thing this time. I want to do 572 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:43,280 the thing Thanksgiving comes. Neither of them No, not happy tricks they're gonna 573 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:49,840 do Nope. No. So usually you told us that there's like thirty people. 574 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,320 Yeah, so there's like, yeah, maybe a little bit less. 575 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,000 So this year I think there was about maybe I was going a little over 576 00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:59,760 on thirty. Normally I think there's probably about twenty. This year, there's 577 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,320 like this teen. Oh that's so that's that's reasonable. Yeah, that's a 578 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,119 good side. And that's including the kids. Yeah, let me ask you 579 00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:15,159 this, do your kids still nap Ilah doesn't want to, and she can 580 00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:20,679 get away with not taking a nap, but I just want her to take 581 00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:22,039 a nap. So I'm like, no, you're taking a nap. No, 582 00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,280 no, no, you're taking a nap. And then she always ends 583 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,719 up falling asleep. But she can get away with not napping, Blake. 584 00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:31,519 Like we tried for a minute because it was tough picking up from school at 585 00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:35,239 like two and then going home and trying to nap and get up before four. 586 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,480 But she just she's just a mess if she doesn't have a nap. 587 00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:40,159 So, yeah, Blake always has to take a nap. Aila, I 588 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:45,119 tell her just just go take the nap. You're gonna fall asleep. Yeah. 589 00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:46,559 She fights me all the time, but she always falls asleep. So 590 00:40:46,599 --> 00:40:51,000 does Blake take it at school? Then no, So you bring her home 591 00:40:51,039 --> 00:40:52,440 at two and then you can get her. You can get her down at 592 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,280 two o'clock. I mean even if you know a lot of times they like 593 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,480 John, I take him for John. But juice after school a lot, 594 00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:00,239 that's like their favorite thing. They want some moothes. Even if we go 595 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,480 get a Jamba juice and we get home and it's like three, three fifteen, 596 00:41:05,079 --> 00:41:07,559 then I'll be like, Okay, don't worry about the nap, Blake. 597 00:41:07,679 --> 00:41:08,719 You go down for an hour, She'll go down for an hour. 598 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,039 Oh yeah, and then what time do they go to bed? Eight? 599 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,320 Oh okay, I mean that's when they're supposed to go to bed, right 600 00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:22,159 Yeah, yeah, another fifteen twenty minutes to corral them, and then sometimes 601 00:41:22,199 --> 00:41:27,360 they just entertain themselves for a little while. Yeah. I spent time with 602 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,400 Nicholas's baby, who they're trying to like he's five going on six months, 603 00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:36,000 you know, but like they adjusted his time now to go to bed at 604 00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:39,039 six. They're trying to put him down at six and stuff, and he 605 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,880 at his nap. I would I would take him upstairs, like, oh, 606 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,239 I'll put the baby down for a nap. It was so fun, 607 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,800 like to take him upstairs and give him a little bob and put him on 608 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,239 his side and like rock him, and it was just so cute.
