your ears. It's Tuesday, so probably a bunch of you guys are salty
right now. Where's our podcast? Yeah? I forgot it was Tuesday at
the time that we're recording. But you're gonna have it within a few hours.
You'll get it. You'll get it. Okay. We moved it to
Tuesday because I went to Arizona on Sunday for the Super Bowl. You flew
you flew in that morning. Mm hmmm. I flew in, got into
like noon. Gerstein picked me up at the airport. All my friends,
all my but a bunch of old school friends were there and we all got
together and watched the Super Bowl which old which old school friends were? These
the same people that like that we hung out out with back in the day
with Glenn and Mike. Glenn wasn't there, but they've all moved to Arizona.
No, they all were like there. It was like they're married now,
so they Mike just was like everybody come watched the game. So we're
like a couple of us were like all right, we'll come and we went.
It was fun, so everybody. I had a big balloon, uh,
sculpture in my hotel room when I walked in that said I'm divorced,
bitch. They ordered like a balloon. Oh, balloon, Like I'll post
it. It's so cute. It's like it's supposed to be me in a
black dress and uh and there's just like the balloon that says I'm divorced,
bitch. And it was really cute. Oh my gosh, I mean that
I love it. So you got to celebrate a little bit. Yeah,
celebrated a little bit and we watched uh, I mean it was really quick
and got there super Bowl was going to be starting, watched it, and
then we went and watched the Super Bowl two different places. Left it like
right before halftime, went to another place and watched it and then yeah and
then and then that, and then went out for a little bit, hung
out, and then came back on the next morning, next afternoon. Next
So wait, did you stay at Mike's. No, No, no,
stayed a hotel. Oh yeah the w oh yeah, a lot of stuff
going on at the w It was fun really yeah. There's like I mean
they had like you know, super Bowl watching parties and stuff like that,
and we went to a good restaurant after the super Bowl was over at the
w I don't remember the name. And it was fun. It was fun.
It was just a quick trip. Yeah, really like an hour and
fifteen minute flight. Yeah, yeah for us, so yeah, right,
it's so easy, so easy. Yeah, So it was nice. It
was fun, what a good time. Good. I went to my brothers
so I do that every year. My sister in law throws a party.
She loves to like cater that stuff, and it's all my favorite stuff,
chicken wings. And it's funny because I wrote about the epilogue in my book
is about going to my sister, my brother and sister in law's for Super
Bowl. Just it's just a nice fun I we do it every year.
Yeah. Did the kids go? So Xander did, and then Elb had
to work that morning, but she got out anyway. She drove herself there,
so it was us. But Sadie was like, yeah, Sadie.
The thing about Sadie is that we've discovered so we went through that really hard
time with her where she was sad all the time, and then we just
been in therapy and we got to the bottom of that. One thing that
her therapist really helps her with is that I don't know that she quite knew
about herself until a few years ago, but she just isn't She is an
introvert, and her therapist describes it to her as her social battery gets drained,
which a lot of the I know that's kind of a lingo that the
kids use these days, but it does help me understand that if she there's
only so much in her So if it's the weekend, like they did,
she did something Friday night, and then Saturday when of her her best friend
came over and they were together all afternoon. They went to a party that
night, the friends slept over. So now it's Sunday morning, she's done.
Oh and then they went thrifting Sunday morning before and they went and got
breakfast, and you know, they were out, and I think by the
time, it's like the idea for her of oh, now i'm home,
I'm supposed to get in the car with my family and go to a party
where I'm going to be right, not at all loud. It's always very
loud there. My niece and nephew are very loud always anyway. So I
was like, well, stay home, bitch, yeah, you know,
why not, but don't torture yourself years. Yeah, do what's fun for
you. So she's got to stay home for hours and anyway. But so
we're watching the Super Bowl. We all have boxes. Did you bet?
No? We did. I placed a bet. Mike's had something on his
phone, and I was like, I sent Sonny a text and he gave
me some ideas and we bet and we bet, like I bet three hundred
and one, like one hundred and fifty or something like that. Oh,
out of the bets I made. But you didn't do squares? No,
we didn't do squares. Did you do, Kaitlin? No? I think
that's a house thing, like if you're at someone's house watching it. Yeah.
So well we did squares and I bought ten squares and uh ten dollars
each, so I was in for a hundred a hundi. When the randomizer
came up, I was like, I'm so fucked, Like it was ridiculous,
Like my numbers were like, you know, no, seven zero,
it was all like two fives, nines. Right, So the game goes
by, I have like no chance of winning. Well, here it is,
it's fourth quarter. We go to overtime, right, the forty nine
ers get their field goal. Suddenly it's like the score is like the twenty
two to nineteen I have I have for the Yeah, I have for the
forty nine ers two ending in two, and I have a nine, which
you would have thought was like the most ridiculous, Like how is a nine
and a two going to come up? And now I'm in this terrible position
because I'm rooting hard for the Chiefs, yes, and now all of a
sudden, I'm like, holy shit, if the Niners hold the Chiefs to
no and they do not score, if they shut them down, now we're
in overtime, they kick their field goal, they get one possession with the
ball, I'm like, all they have to do is not score anything.
Now we get to like fourth down, like it's like third down, and
they I think it was fourth down, and I was like, all they
have to do is not it is not And they made the first down on
the I think it was fourth down, and they of course had to go
for it. You know that they have their one possession. And then and
I was in this weird predicament where everybody in the house is screaming for the
Chiefs, which I had been up until five minutes before, and now I'm
just like, it got real quiet. Joe and I looked at each other.
I showed him our box and then I look at my brother, and
my brother's like, yeah, I know. And I'm like, oh no,
oh oh, I'm really kind of now hoping like I'm very quiet though.
I'm just like, I mean, everybody in the house is going to
be really upset, right except for me to win four hundred dollars. Wow,
except for that. And they made that first down, and then they
were already then they were I was like, oh, they're gonna at the
at the very least, they're going to kick a field goal and then I'm
going to beat So now I'm like, okay, all right, we're back
in it. We're back in it. Let's go cheats. But for a
minute there, I became a die hard forty nine ers fan. Wow.
That's exciting though, That's what makes up the game fun. I know it
made it fun. Yeah, who won? No, who won? Out
of your Oh oh oh my god. I was like the nets you weren't
paying attention. How did everything turn offer at the ground the Brown super Bowl.
Did they win? Now? I think the Jets won. So this
one girl, what one of their neighbors won like three out of the four
she won like seven, she won like eight hundred and fifty dollars. Geez,
yeah, she was in for a hundred. The bitch netted seven fifty.
I mean she didn't need that. That's ridiculous, right, spread spread
the Yeah, get my hundred dollars exactly. That's the worst feeling is because
now it's over and you're like, I have to venmo my sister. I
love one hundred dollars for the squares. I'm like, here's your money,
damn it. I know it was. It was fun though, yeah,
I mean it started off kind of slow, yeah, and then it and
then it was like yeah, and then it kind of picked up. But
we watched it was like we went to the second place that we went was
packed. There was just I mean, I felt like college kids were everywhere,
and you know, the champagne with the sparklers were going off, and
but we liked we were watching the halftime show and it's like, yawn,
oh god, let's talk about that. Okay. Should we say hi to
our peeps, and then sure we could say hi to our people. I
don't see why not look at all these fans. Yay, that sounded so
that came off. When I said look at these fans, I was gonna
say super, I was gonna say sports fans like, and then I was
going to give them each a team that they like. But then I realized
how that came across. Look at our fans, they love us so much.
Alicia probably forty nine ers. I bet she's forty nine ers. Kelly
Brandt, Rebecca Lubin Chan Vajpin, Missy and Gabby forty nine ers fans.
Yeah, I'm guessing. Yeah, probably Katerina Valerie Bubba Fenwick Fenwick, she's
a Chiefs fan, yeah, okay, Polly Polly butter Field Field. Yeah,
she's too busy for pancakes to watch sports. Athena, Elizabeth Williamson,
Rita, Rita Bassiette, and Jacob Crowley Niners. Yeah no, Jacobsuld probably
a Chiefs fan, okay, yeah, Leslie Acosta, Nikki Collier, Aaron
Landis, What do you think about them? I think they're uh forty nine
ers, probably forty nine ers, yeah. Uh Anna Faris Katie Murphy,
Amy Hunt, Hunt, Kelly Kelly, Ladi, Da Chiefs, Dia Hershey
Share Bear, and Ashley Chic. They watched the Puppy Ball. Yes,
Leslie Wykough cough through the whole thing. Come Sarah Stefano, Aaron Sanchez,
Jennifer Falls, Sandra Green, Christa Stroop and Stephanie Stinker Rinker Chiefs fans all
the way. That's what that's my guess. Yeah, the halftime show,
I was like, Usher, really whatever. But the highlight for me was
when Luda came on. I love Ludagris. Oh yeah, yeah, that
was great. But I was excited at the prospect that Justin Bieber was going
to be there, and then he wasn't. That was a prospect. I
didn't even know that. Oh that was yes, that was highly predicted.
And then apparently Justin Bieber was there, and so was Haley, and Haley's
glam squad was there, so everybody was like very sure that they were there
to perform, and then he never came out and people were disappointed. Here's
the thing. Did I ever tell you my Usher story? It's a little
embarrassing. Okay, so many years ago my very first was it No,
I was working on the Dating Game. I was writing for that show and
uh, the one with John Hamm. No, that was the big date.
This was the Dating Game, the classic the Dating Game that they had
brought it back, and they had a couple of celebrities. They were very
minor celebrities and Usher was not a big strike. He was a kid,
Okay, yeah, so he was like a kid kid. He was young,
he was like sixteen, I want to say, and he was there
with his mom. So did he go buy Usher? Yeah, yeah he
did. He was already Usher. He must have had like a couple of
songs out at that point. But he was just a kid, you know.
So this was just a weirdly like kind of embarrassing thing. Anytime you
were briefing somebody, especially if they were young, you had to be sure
that they You had to go over the questions with them because the last thing
you wanted was anybody to like be out there and not be able to read
their cue cards, right, So you had to kind of go over it
with them. And I just it was really so Usher's mom was very much
like a mamager, right, And she got pissed because I asked if Usher
could read the cards, and she was like, do you think he can't
read? And I was like and I was like, no, of course
not, Like this is what we do with all the contestants. And I
just she was like, uh huh, oh really this is what she's like,
Well, I assure you usher can read. There's no need to worry
about that. So then what are you going to do? Like I couldn't
like our job, My job as a segment producer was to have them read
it over in front of me. But she was having none of me.
And I always say he was like there to date at sixteen. No,
but he was there as a celebrity. He was never going to go on
a date with anybody. He was like the celebrity contestant. Okay, I
can't remember if he was going to be one of the ones. No,
he yeah, he was going to be the picker. Okay, they used
to do that sometimes, right. He was never going to go on a
date with anybody. It was just like, you know, but I just
remember feeling so like, oh my god, like does she think I'm racist?
Like does she think I'm saying that because he's black? Like it was
that awful thing where I'm like, no, but I'm sure he can read.
I just want to make sure that we go over and she was like
he's got it, okay, like and I went okay. And then of
course my boss would be like, okay, so did you go over the
cards? Did you? And I was like, yeah, I don't know.
His mom says he's got it. I can't really argue that, and
he was like okay, you know, and then you just got to hope
for the best, and he was totally fine. Yeah, but it was
just that, yeah, I know, the thing of like embarrassing, and
also I just remember his mom being so overly like nobody talks to usher but
me and I was at the time, he was not a star right at
all, or he wouldn't have been at the dating game he was so anyway.
Now it was interesting because he gave a big shout out to his mom.
I think they're still very very close. Yeah. I didn't see that.
Yeah, so I didn't gonna say he gave you a big shout.
He gave me a big shout out. He was like, I remember you
dating game? What that. Here's the thing he doesn't like. He doesn't
have songs when you go oh, usher, you don't go like, oh
my god, I can't wait for to do this song. You're like it's
the kind of thing where he sings and you go, oh, I can't
I remember the song. Sure, I've heard this song before, but you
don't anticipate. I can't wait for her right now, I know. And
I wasn't alone in that nobody that we were with all ages. Not one
person was like I can't wait for this song. I know. For me,
it's like he's got one song. It's the song that gets fucked out
and played all the time. I don't even know which one that is.
Dun dun dun dunt dun dud, the one with ludicrous Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, that's all he says is yeah, yeah, see you
know, I mean, well, yeah, but one song, right,
you know it's that song. You know what song I'm talking about, right,
dun dun dun dud. But I would have thought that was done.
Yeah no, no, no, no, no no no, yeah,
I know exactly the song you're talking about it. Yeah, right, But
I wouldn't be like, oh my god, I wait for her that song.
It's not on any of my playlists. No, I hate that song.
Because it gets played all the time. It's like, uh uh,
it's not even that great except for the ludicrous part, right that I love
him. This is why Justin Bieber should be a halftime show because all age
we've all like I couldn't tell you one of his songs. Oh really yeah,
but I'm out of the dem I mean like I'm The best halftime show
was Snoop and Drey other than the Bruce Springsteen. Oh yeah, that was
awesome. Yes, I wish they could do that everything. Also, Bruno
Mars was amazing. Yeah, he's a great halftime show, very talented.
Lady Gaga was an amazing halftime show. Yeah, Madonna, I guess I'm
trying to think other people, but God, speaking of Madonna, let's let's
do our Let's do an ad. First of all, this episode is brought

you were saying speaking of Madonna, Oh, I was saying, did you
guys watch the We Are the World? Yes? Doc, Yeah, it
was pretty good. It's really good, and you know what, loved it.
I have to say, I've thought about you several times, but everybody
it sounded freak amazing. He did. Yeah, you saw it right?
Yeah, you mean when he was singing in the yeah, yeah, yeah,
like he's so good. I was like, wow, he's kind of
a highlighter right now. I know. I liked his interviews too, because
he was like cracking up and stuff. I have a huge amount of respect
for Lionel Richie now, like I oh, yeah, I always liked him
and everything, but now I have such respect for him. Like it was
awesome respect for Michael Jackson too, Like I know, it came together,
they knocked it out. Michael Jackson's comes a p Yeah, he's in the
studio while everybody else is at the music show. Michael Jackson's there like working,
and I just it was really cool, really cool. Yeah. It
was very interesting to see how they all, how they brought everyone together,
and it was interesting to see who was the one that was like, uh
oh, Sheila e How she got mad, she got all salty because she
was like, oh, I see what's going on. You guys just want
me to get Prince right. I was like, yeah, yeah, of
course. And then Prince what a dick a dick oh. He wanted to
do only if he could do it guitar solo and alone. Remember, he
wanted to play the guitar but record separately. Yeah, and it was interesting
to see all of these people come together, come together and not have an
ego about it. Right. I had heard somebody told me that Paul Simon
yelled at did we talk about this? No, yelled at Kenny rod Somebody
yelled at Kenny Rogers for not being able to hit the high note. That's
what I heard. And I kept waiting for that to happen in the documentary
and I didn't. They didn't show that. Wow, what about Madonna?
Like you would have thought at that time she was huge, wasn't she?
Or I was thinking maybe she was just getting started and she wasn't. No,
she was already big, huge, soe so somebody behind the scenes,
the woman they interviewed her, she was in the thing. She was one
of the people from the agency. I guess that was trying to help put
all this together. Apparently she was fighting for Madonna. She's like, Madonna's
like one of the biggest things right now. And they were like, now
we already have Cyndi Lauper, which is like, how okay, so you
have all these guys, well, like, oh, we already got what
is that? The twat spot I already have we already got that one filled.
Yeah, so what we got the pop white pop star right well?
And bet Midler was there. I mean everybody like, I know dan Aykroyd
doing in the middle of all that, That's what everybody wanted to know.
I think it was odd. I know, is he known to have a
good voice. I don't maybe because he's was in the Blues Brothers, I
don't know. I don't know. So when I think about singing, I
don't think dan akroy And I also don't think of him as being a huge
draw for buying the record, right you know, yeah, yeah it was.
It was such a good song too. It's a great song, and
I remember what an interesting thing too, to be like, we're making this
song, we don't know if it's good. I was thinking of it from
as a musician presenting the song, like what if you present the song to
these people and they're like, right, pretty mid right? Right. I
think there was somebody that was like, it's going to be a hit.
They backed out. Somebody was like I don't think it's going to be a
hit. Yeah, I remember was that I don't remember, but yeah,
it was really interesting. I've been watched did you watch the uh the Newest
part two of Erica Girardi? No, I'm gonna watch it. It's good,
good, it's really good. But here's the thing, Like, okay,
take the earrings. Remember the earrings situation. For example, that bitch
she fought they when okay, she might maybe she didn't know that the money
where the money came from to pay for those earrings. But when you find
out where it came from, why wouldn't you be like take these earrings away
to give them back. Not only did she fight to get them back,
they took they put them in a trust and she fought to get those earrings
back. It's like, who gives a shit? They're just square diamond earrings.
Yeah, well buy some cubic sircnia. Who gives Who's gonna know the
difference? Like, so you're so attached to these diamond ear that are seven
hundred and fifty bucks because it's all about the fact that she's like, those
are my ear rings, and I don't care, she said, And she's
what if you're watching Beverly Hills this season? She said, I only care
about myself. I don't care, right, I do not I despise her
now, I mean you couldn't. There's other you know, when you watch
documentary, you'll see other people like speaking for her, behalf, like her
lawyers, of course, trying to make a case for her. I don't.
I don't buy it. I think I think she's despicable. I really
do, because I get it. You probably didn't. Maybe you didn't know
give your the bed of the doubt, you didn't know what your husband was
doing. But when you find out what happened, why wouldn't you want to
get rid of those fucking earrings fast? Like, just give them back?
Because she's a terrible person. He's a terrible person, horrible right and entitled
as fuck? Oh my god, yeah you got it. Went hard to
watch Beverly Hills HOUSEWBS. I like that. I know. I agree,
no one root for the season. There's no grounding character. Just when I
think like, well, I kind of like Kyle this season, like she's
really going through it. I like it, then she'll do something like just
be obsessed with shopping. You know, they'll be somewhere and she'll be like,
oh, you could shop at a gas station, but not even that
that would be kind of endearing. But it's the Hermas is like my north
star. Like wherever I go, whatever place I go, I have to
find the nearest ermais why Kyle, come on, I know, yeah,
that's true, that's true. I hate that shit. I like Garcel.
I love that Garcel put door in her place. Yeah yeah, but yeah,
so I I did watch So I watched that last night, and I
was hoping you watched it so well. I watched the other I didn't watch
that, but I did watch the one that you said you were going to
watch, which, okay, the murder Stalker Lover whatever. Did you watch
that one? I did. John was like, this is right up your
you're gonna want to watch this, and he sent me the preview and I
was like, I'm pretty sure I've heard the dateline or the forty eight hours
or the twenty twenty, the twenty twenty about this story at least two or
three times. No, I know. I was like, this sounds very
familiar, and I know the twist right, And then I was like,
but I still watched it, of course, yeah, because it was good.
I didn't realize I knew the story until they showed her picture, the
girl that got murdered. Like her picture up on the screen. I was
like, she looks familiar. And then when the guy's talking he works at
a you know, at an auto shop or whatever, I was like,
okay, yes, I've seen this story, but I know the pictures look
familiar to me because I've only heard this on clod to it. Yeah.
Wo yeah. So then I was like, okay, well I know the
story and I know what happens, but it'll be interesting to watch now as
I can play. Yes. Yeah, and also I think they they went
into it a lot deeper than definitely a date line whatever. So yeah,
that was interesting and insane that that woman like just burned down her house with
her pets inside. You know, it was just insane story. Yeah,
it's not a twist. It does have a twist. What is that noise?
I don't know. It's not my phone, is it? You're Oh,
it's Lynnette's phone. She's kidding, like, I guess it's on vibrate.
Sorry, that's okay, whatever. Peek behind the curtain. You know,
shit happens. It's real, it's real, it's real life. Right.
So the other morning I was out with Peopo. Yeah, and we're
walking down the street and there's a dog, like a black husky looking dog
just walking down the street, pink collar on, so I knew it was
like a person's dog. And I'm looking around to see, like where's the
own. I see nobody out, and it's kind of early in the morning,
so I'm like, I mean, it's probably like eight am, you
know, so it's pretty empty on the street and there's just nobody as far
as and now this dog is coming right up. So here's the thing when
I've got I mean, Penelope is very, very friendly with other dogs and
with people, but she's also a little bit it's hard to explain, she's
a little bit like skittish, where like if a dog comes up to her,
She's never growled or tried to go after a dog ever. But sometimes
dogs can approach and you think the other dog's nice or whatever, or Penelope
kind of backs up, and then the other dog gets mad, and then
Penelope will try to kind of defend herself, you know. So and it's
never a good situation when your dog is on a leash and another dog is
just approaching. So this dog comes right up and starts coming up, and
I'm looking around like hello, can somebody get their dog? There's no one
around, so I'm like, oh, this dog is on the loose,
and it's now like it's it's lost, so all of a sudden, out
of nowhere, But now I can tell. I can tell the dog is
not a mean dog, but it's also it's I can't explain it. It's
kind of a skittish dog, even though it's right in Penelope's face. But
then it so we kind of walk away all of a sudden, out of
nowhere, jogger coming down the street. He wasn't running that, it wasn't
a runner jogging down the street. And I'm like, oh hey, and
he's got the earbuds in his airpod's on yet but I was like, hey,
can can you help me? And he's now I'm thinking this guy's going
to be like, oh geez, what you know? But he's like,
uh, And I said, this dog is loose. The owner's nowhere around,
but it's wearing a collar. Can you see if there's a number,
and I'll call the number. And uh. So he stops and he comes
over and he gets the dog, tells me the number, so I call
the number on it. Girl answers the phone. She's like hello, like
hi, uh, I have your dog. And she's like, oh,
oh no. She's like I'm at school. So I was like, oh
okay the hell went to her cell phone. I get yeah. I was
like okay, and she's like, are you on Ostrom Street. She's in
my neighborhood. I go, yes, I am, and she's like,
oh, well, we're at blah blah blah dress. Can you the dog
got out from the backyard probably the gate opened, so can you can you?
And I so, anyway, I look at the address. I'm only
a few houses away. She's like, if there's a white picket fence.
So I go, oh okay. She's like, can you bring the dog
back and put it? Put it in the backyard. I go okay.
So the guy helps me. So I take penelopees leash off and I leash
the dog. It's like skittish, it's gonna run. I bring the dog.
Penelope will just follow me. So we bring the dog back. The
guy comes with me. We get to that house. We put the dog
in the sideyard, close the gate, and we're like, ah, good
deed done. One second later, the dog is like runs out, is
like running down booking it down the street, and the guy and I look
at each other like, what the hell? Now? We look we co
to the front of the house. Front door wide open. Wow. Front
door of the house. There's like a screen there's the door is open and
there's like a screen and the screen is just like wide open, and the
there's like a little gated front but the gate is open. Wow. So
the dog is gone. So I'm like, oh no. So the guy's
like, I'll go I'll go after it. So he goes running, gets
very stubborn on her walk. She only wants to walk a certain way.
She doesn't want to vary if she so I was like, I'm not going
to be able to get her to go this way. He's like, I
got it, I'm going to go after the dog. So I Penelope meanders.
So we continue our walk toward where the guy's going. Anyway, long
story short, I get like around the corner. The guy found that got
the dog and grabbed it. But now we're like three blocks away from this
house. So meanwhile I've called the girl back. I'm like, hi,
Hi, I'm sorry you're at school. I was like, but the dog,
your front door is open and she's like, oh, no, well
is my mom not home. I'm like, bitch, I don't know where
your mom is. I don't have her schedule. Like what is your mom
home? I don't know. I go we I didn't go up to the
door. I go cauz, we're after we're going after your dog right now.
And she's like, oh. The dog is like a kind of a
recent rescue and uh, it gets out, It runs away a lot like
oh, okay, I was thinking of Phil, except for this is a
little different. Phil gets out and then just goes for a stroll and goes
for a swim Sunday afternoon. Yeah, because like, oh, this dog
was like off, let's rocket trying to escape. Yeah. So anyway,
the guy, I'm like, I don't know, we're trying to go after
the dog. Well whatever. So I find the guy. He's got the
dog. I have to give him the leash back. So I give him
Penelope's leash again. I'm like, and he's like, I'll go, I'll
take the dog back. You stay with your dog. So he goes back.
Apparently the woman was home. Well what the fun, I'm like,
he so yeah, he's like, yeah, she would The person was there.
The owner was there, and I was like, well, did she
thank you? He's like not really? Why Yeah? I was like okay,
and then I said I was like I'm sorry about like, you know,
interrupting your dog. And he's like, well I got more exercise this
way, I think. So all's well. That ends well, but like,
hey, what maybe your door shut? You know, you have a
dog that runs away, And how did she not know? Like how did
she not go out front of her house when your dog is like tears through
the house and runs out the front door. That doesn't alert you at all,
Like, because the dog must have You put the dog in the backyard,
right, you put the dog into the backyard. It came in through
a doggy door. That's what she told me. There's a doggy door,
and he can get back in the house. Okay, if once, if
we put him in the backyard, he'll be able to get in the house.
Like at it so great, Okay, Well he came tearing in through
the doggy door, out the front door and was gone again. That's which
is probably how he got out in the first place, because that side gate
was already closed when I went to go. So that's so He's been running
in and out of the front door. Like this had to have been over
like thirty minutes. I don't know how long he'd been out loose, but
like it was very annoying. Oh my gosh, but you did your good
deed. I did. I was like, I'm not gonna have this dog
just be on the loose in the neighborhood. Yeah, I've done that.
I mean, I walk her in the neighbor and you see this dog just
wandering and I'm like, pil and they're like, oh, that's my dog
exactly. Yeah, no, And I bring the dog back because people do
it for me all the time. The worst is when I'm at the condo
and I get the phone call and it's like, hey, I have your
dog and I'm like, oh, what the who left the dog outside and
didn't check the gate? Dog? Exactly? What is happening with Phil?
He's fine. He went to his his his baby. Well yeah it's his
babysit, but that's where he goes to lose weight. He went to the
fat farm just for the night, I guess. Sonny called me and he
was like, Dad's drop and fill off for the because we're having Super Bowl
at our house. So he's like, uh, do I need to bring
like you want to know about his medicine and what to bring. So I
told him what to pack, and so he went there for one night,
and but he's gonna be going back and staying there for a while soon when
we start, like you know, really doing like open houses and more showings.
Because right now, our pool, Yes, last week when I got
home after the rains, our pool water went down like a lot, so
the pool a pipe broke and the water was draining. But that's fine because
now we want to like you know, buff up the pool, make it
look nice and sparkly again. So we're working on the pool. But the
funny thing is is Phil ha ha can't go in the pool now because he
loves going the pool no matter how cold, no matter what time of night,
in the freezing rain, he'll go in the pool. Now he's just
like up to his ankles, it's about all he could do. He's still
goes down the steps, but there's like it's like ankle deep and he can't
do anything. Oh yes, so what are you gonna do? Like cover
it when you're fixing it? Now, they're just gonna fix it and then
we're just gonna refill it. But I got a funny story about last week
and involved Kaylin. Oh should we should we we do? Let's yea yeah,
let's just talk about Thrive real quick because I get excited about Thrive me
too, because I use Thrive all the time. I have all their cream
sticks there. I have eyebrightener on right now, me too. I have

very subtle, so it's not one of those It's not like those liquid eyeshadows
that go on really really thick. It's a it's a stick, yes,
any lies, and it's creamy. I love Thrives products, I really do.
I got all our different colors, the brilliant eyebrightener. Yeah, I

also love about Thrive is that it's a luxury beauty that gives back yep,

So last week I went and got a laser on my face for like
the dark spots. I had credit at this place for so long. I'm
like, is this is your regular place? Yes? And I bought like
a package of something and I forgot I had the credit and they called.
They were like, you have credit, you should you know, come by.
So it was like since it's winter and I'm not in the sun,
like now's the time for like the dark spots, you know. So I
did the laser thing, which hurt like a bitch really kinda yeah. I
mean they numb your face, uh huh and then they you know, zap
it. But it feels like little needles like dntingdingding thing all over. You
know. It wasn't that bad. Can you listen to music? No,
Me and the nurse were talking, just talking. So let me ask you
this though, I know this story is not about this, but that's fine.
But do they do like the laser for the wrinkles too, because I
want to get that under my eyes? Oh yeah, would that be a
good place to go. Yes, they have all that stuff, yeah,
like tightening, you know, the tightening, the the eat it for fine
lines, wrinkles, texture, all that. Yeah. I just want to
under my eyes. They'd probably have to do, but you know, I
just under they have that. Yeah. I think Gina Kimmel did it when
she came and visited me. Oh did she like it? She loved it?
Yeah, okay, she she told me like a couple months afterwards,
She's like, I really noticed a big difference she had, like you know,
saggy eyelids and like wrinkles underneath the thing. You know, they have
eye drops. So they have eye drops now that make your eyes bigger,
really more open. Yeah, and uh and uh. I bought them.
And because they showed it to me, they're like you put she put it
one in one eye and like in a few minutes, my eye was bigger
than the other one. Oh. Because you know, you get older,
your eyes like start to get smaller and so but now my eye is watering
a lot my left eye because I was like, I'm going to use it
before I go do for crying out loud as we do the camera things.
So now I can open my eyes, will look you know, I won't
look so tired. But my eye I don't know. I think it's allergies.
I don't think it's the eye drops. But anyway, so I go,
So my face, you always look beautiful to me. I don't notice
the difference because you always look very pretty. Oh, thank you staff,
thank you. So okay, So my face is swollen and red and I
look like a mess. My hair's all greasy because they put like, you
know, the gel numbs your face. So anyway, I'm driving home afterwards,
and I'm turning left onto the street that takes me to my house,
and uh, in front of me, so there's the fire stage. Anyway,
there's in front of me there's a white truck and he stops at all
of a sudden. No, he just stops and then puts his hazards on.
And I'm like, what the hell's this guy doing? And I'm about
to go around and it's Kayleb in my little neighborhood. What are you doing?
Are you talking Lynette. That's I have a pond client that's like right
down the street from Lynett's house. I didn't know where Thatt's house was,
but like, so, I'm I'm at the light that's kind of on the
main street and I'm about to turn into the residential area and I look in
the rear view mirror and I was like, that kind of looks like Lynette,
and that's Lynnette's car. It's like I think, yeah, that's Lynette.
And so I when I turned down the residential street, I pretty much
got to the street that I would have normally turned right on to go down
to my pond client. But I just stopped and poked my head out the
window, and I wasn't even totally sure if it was still Lynnette. So
I was like, if it's not, then this will be awkward. But
what But then was it still a little bit awkward because were you like,
oh, it's Kaitlin and you're like it's you, Lynette, and then you're
like okay, So no, it was funny. I was. I was
happy to see him. I was like, oh my god, she was
like I saw. I was like, oh, hey, when I get
my client's right here. She's like, you want to come see the house.
I was like, oh, see the house? So yeah, we
drove back to one. She gave me a tour of the yeah, you
know, yeah, I was gonna be gone soon. Why don't you come
by? You know? So yeah, I took him on the tour and
he saw an Italian's boyfriend. He was there, and Italian very briefly like
for a second, okay, yeah, gots fun. Yeah it was fun
and uh he saw the pool getting drained. Yeah, it was fun.
But I was embarrassed because I look like hell. I was like, I
got to explain him when my face was swollen and red and I had been
doing ponds all day, so I mean she might have looked like hell,
but I probably smelled like hell, like I was in all kinds of dirty.
Towards the end, she was like, all right, nice to see
you, and I was like, you don't want to give me a hug.
He's like, no, no, no, I smell like, okay,
well I look bad and you smell. Yeah. But it was fun.
That's so cute. It's cute. What aky ding? What a co
inky ding? Yeah? You know when you're when you out and about somewhere
and you see somebody you know in another car and you're kind of going the
same way, and then you like wave, and then you don't know when
to stop waving because then you'll see them like at the next light and you're
like, yeah, sorry, now your phone's now my phone went up,
but you know, and then you're and then it becomes kind of awkward because
you're like, no, I gotta just want to let that person go,
like and then you don't want to ignore them, and then it's like you
feel their eyes boring into you even if they're not, and then you're both
like can we drop the like we saw each other, we acknowledge, Like
when can you stop acknowledging that you're still next to the other. I have
something in that same department. But it's awkward when I'm driving. This happened
a lot when I was dropping the kids off at school every morning, because
I'm like, you know, I don't know. I was like trying to
get back home, going around, going to this, going in this light,
like go like, this person's not moving, Honk the horn right,
and then it's like Sonny's best friend's mom, Yeah, the wors doors.
I always am so careful about stuff like that because I'm like my neighborhood.
I'm like, what if that person's like my next door neighborhood. Now,
I don't want to be like, oh, never mind. This is one
mom. She's the nicest. We call her like missus mean because because she's
the nicest, sweetest mother ever. And I was behind her and didn't realize
it. And I just spent the weekend with her watching basketball because her son
and my son were on the same basketball team. So just the sweetest.
And I'm driving. I don't she's driving her husband's car, so I don't
know it's her, And she was driving so slow and I was trying,
and it was on a residential street. And then she stopped at the stop
sign and she took one too many mississippis. So I laid on the whole
horn and then she went and then she slowed down and pulled over and she
had to like go. And You're like, oh, no, is this
person's been a mad dog. But she rolls the road ridge incident. Yeah,
she rolls the window down. She's like, hey, I'm so sorry.
I got she's got to apologize. I was like, oh my god,
Anna I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was you. I'm so
sorry, and she's like, no, I'm the one that's I'm like,
okay, now you're too nice. She fucking flipped me off something like you
can get mad at me. Like I'm sorry, and she's like no,
no, I was distracted. I was like somebody called my Friend'm like it's
fine. Oh god, I'm the asshole. Oh gosh, I'm terribly sorry.
It was the worst, but yeah, it's very It can be awkward,
that's for sure. Yeah. Yeah. The worst two is when you're
like pulling into Trader Joe's. Because Trader Joe's. Everybody knows the Trader Joe's
parking lot is a nightmare. It's say, I know, because they're always
too small, they're just not there. It's it's never a big part.
It just tucked those Trader Joe's in like the most inconvenient areas so there's never
a parking but especially the one by my house, it's really hard to get
into the driveway and there are always people being or it's so clear that there's
only one way to go in, but people will always try to come out
that way. But if anyway the worst though, is when you're pulling in
and you're behind somebody and then you hunk or they hunk at you, or
you hunk at them, and then you get mad and then you realize,
oh shit, we're gonna both be parking and going out the store. And
then you're like, oh no, can I disguise myself? Do I have
like a baseball hat? Can I change my image? Or that's somebody they
don't recognize. Then you want to wait till that person goes in first,
and then you're like have to try to avoid It's like it's a whole shop.
That's the worst. Do you ever do the do the shopping? Kailin?
Yeah? I do. I do the shopping sometimes. Do you ever
are you able to find the clams? Uh? Yeah, you need pictures
from Amy? Well, it's well, we actually went shopping yesterday together and
we're we're definitely different. We're different kinds of well. I honestly, I
had work that I needed to do and I was like, I really don't
want to do it, so it was an excuse to just procrastinate. Huh.
But we're very different kinds of shoppers. Like she has like a routine
that she does like she starts here and then she goes here, and of
course, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was the thing. And uh,
I guess I'm I'm a bit chaotic when I do the shopping because I'll
you know, push the cart and then I'll just kind of leave it there
and then walk far away and pick up something and put it back. And
you know, I at one point just left the cart there and went and
walked over to get like the avocade. And she's like, why are you
leaving the cart to take the cart with you? My purse is in there.
I go, oh, yeah, sorry, yeah, I wasn't really
paying attention. She just she just took it. After that, she just
put it on her arm. Okay, well, yeah, I leaves their
purse in the cart too, when you might step away from it. Well
she doesn't step away. I mean she did that. Yeah, But I
I'll always I'll leave it like at the end of the aisle so I can
walk through the aisle fast enough and then walk back and put it in there.
I'm often just leaving the cart around and then walking to get what I
need. But like again, she had her routine, and so like at
one point we're kind of pretty close to the salmon, and I go,
oh, well we're having Samford and oh, like, aren't we we need
the salm right? She goes yeah, we need to. Like are we
going to stop get it? She goes no, we'll come back, We'll
get there. Okay. So we did like a big loop around the fruits
and vegetables and then came back to the salmon later. I guess because you
don't want it in your cart for that long she didn't want it or it
was just not time, It just wasn't It wasn't part of the route,
Kaitlin. It's not salmon, tine stop salmutani. That's so funny. I
have like I know what I need. John has certain things that he regularly
buys. But John will always offer to go shopping and I always say no,
and he's like, why just make me a list, And I'm like
no, because I don't know half the shit that I normally like. It's
not the kind of thing that I can make a list for. It's like
I walk through the store on my root and along my route I find the
things that I normally buy, but like, I'm not gonna know, Oh,
we need some sugar free pudding until I'm seeing I gotta be eye to
eye with the pudding, and then I go, oh, I think we're
out of pudding, and I get with some more pudding, you know what
I mean. Or even if I'm in the fruit, I'm not like,
Okay, we need one carton of like I'm like, no, I'll see
what looks good, and I'll also come up with an idea of something that
I'm going to make for dinner based on what I'm seeing around. Like I'd
be like, oh shit, we haven't had spaghetti in a while, and
here's the like do we have any sauce? I'm not sure I'm going to
get some more? Anyway, I wouldn't be able to. It would take
me two days to create a lit I'd have to visualize the entire store.
And John doesn't understand that. It's like, it's not a favor. That
doesn't help. Right, It's easier for me to just go there and now
if there's if I forget something, which I inevitably do, then I could
send him back that's where he's That's where that would be good for right.
I could be like I was gonna make spaghetti, and I bought this and
this and this, but I forgot the pasta, the main ingredient, and
then John will be like, oh, I'll run back out and get that,
and I'm like okay, perfect. Yeah. Yeah. AnyWho, listen,
this has been a good reunification. Uh yeah, I don't know what
that means, but anyway, listen. If you are a fan of our
