so you know how I'm having like a bit of a love hate relationship
with their school. Yeah, because when you go to a really small school,
every teacher is like a like a big deal. Like some of these
teachers are amazing, Yeah, I love them. Some of the other teachers
are really hard. So there's a lot of like it's very intense. Yes,
there's a lot of warriors. I will say something. Natalia, she
loves all her teachers this year. That's amazing. And she's like participating.
She's interested. She's like, mom, when am I ever interested in history?
Like I'm I participate. Like she's loves all her her teachers and I
love that. Yeah, and she's getting good grades because of it. That's
a I know. And junior year grades are some of them important. That's
important year to get good grades for college. I know. Yeah she's getting
all a's what. Yeah, she's doing amazing. And I think her boyfriend
has a little something to do with it too, because he's a go getter
and you know he helps her. But she but she, but she loves
at all her teachers. There's not one teacher she doesn't like. There's been
so many teachers she's had an asshole all the time before, like arguing with
and you know, don't get along with this year, she loves all of
them. Yeah. And do they love her? Yeah, they do.
Yeah, because she participates, she's interested, right, Yeah, so she'll
ask questions, she'll talk, she'll yeah. So yeah that's good. Yeah,
it is good. It makes a difference. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know that my kids, Um, Elbie, it's gonna be different when
they're seniors. Yeah, it's different. I mean, Elbie does like her
teachers, but she's also like she's so done. She can't stand one teacher.
The rest of her teacher she really likes. But she's like, I'm
just done, I'm over it. Doesn't want to go to school anymore.
Also, she had a bunch of AP classes and she already took the AP
tests already happened. So a lot of those teachers don't really do anything,
but they have discussions, they watch movies, they hang out, like they're
not going to try to teach them. She's got like three weeks left of
the squater. But oh, this is what I was going to tell you.
But some of these teachers, so they have their theater. Teacher has
been on Broadway before, and both Sadie and xander A take theater right.
So but it's really funny because so they're doing a performance tonight and I have
to miss it. Ah yeah because of us, Yeah, because of us.
But there was really no other time to move. Like I was like,
well, we can't really move the podcast because Tuesday and need to teach
Wednesday night to teach Thursday, Na teach, We can't really do it on
Friday. Could have done it in the morning, I mean, but we
we would have had to move it and you have like pond stuff stuff afterwards
though, Yeah, we could have moved it earlier. Well, well now
it's too late because so anyway, it doesn't really matter but the point also
Sadie was this was Sadie's night, so her class is doing a performance,
and Sadie was like, Mom, seriously, it's going to be horrible.
She was not excited for me to see it. Okay, and John's gonna
go okay, it's gonna take Xander and they're there right now, right.
So it was kind but it was like it was kind of funny because all
right, this is you will totally get this. So I've come, I've
complained a little bit about the organization of the parents and the stuff that they
do at the school. And there's the mom who's bossy pants. Yes.
Well, so the teacher basically asked they wanted to do like sell food during
the little intermission I guess, or before or after I don't know, So
that he was asking if parents could bring in stuff and also they needed a
volunteer to like provide the kids with food because he wanted them all to stay
after school, straight from after school straight through to the show. The show's
at six thirty, Okay, they get out of school at three forty five.
Three forty five, they get out of school that late. Yeah,
and then they weren't doing the show until six thirties, so they were going
to have a dinner break. But my god, Sadie was like, Mom,
I mean this is honestly like gonna be a train wreck, like somebody's
gonna sing, like it's gonna be like a low rent talent show, like
you know. She was like, I'd prefer it if you didn't go.
But I was like, okay, but Dad's gonna go because like he has
to pick you up anyway. And she's like whatever, and then Zanders like,
oh, I have other friends in it. Two, Oh I'm going
I want to see it. He's like, Mom, it's gonna be so
bad. And Xanders is on Wednesday and he's like, oh, mine's gonna
be worse. He's like, but it's gonna be so funny to watch.
But anyway, so no parents responded this email. He doesn't put it out
to an email, so who knows what's going to happen. Which if I
was in charge, right back me up on this. If I was in
charge, I'd be like if I was the teacher, I'd be like,
hey, everybody have their kid, bring ten bucks and I'm going to order
some pizzas for them. There you go, there you go, that would
be no problem, right, right, But he wants one parent to volunteer
to like feed twenty three people, and it's like, no, it's gonna
do that. Who's gonna go? Who's catering without any parents chipping in?
Like? And like I said, I remember I told you I had to
do the teacher breakfast. Yeah, and it cost me like one hundred and
sixty dollars and I did it with somebody else. That was because how are
you going to provide bagels and cream cheese for the whole stack at a school
for like, yeah, what are you going to get away with for that?
No? I mean, well you would have to like ask people to
venmo you or whatever, like right. So I had asked the woman who
was who is like the head of the parent kind of organization, Hey,
why don't you just ask all the parents send out a big mass email and
say, hey, we're doing this teacher breakfast, can everybody chip in five
bucks? Yeah? You know Venmo five bucks. She was like, oh
no, well they're just not going to do it. So I'm like,
okay, So therefore I don't know, I don't have the list of all
the parents. I can't like send out a mass email and say, but
if somebody sent that to me, I'd be like, of course, thank
you for doing the hard work. Right, here's ten bucks, I'll give
you twenty like right, so for this dinner thing, Like, I don't
know, I don't know if anybody responded. I don't know if they're going
to feed the kids. Poor Sadie, she's got us such a This girl's
got us such a caffeine an addiction, you know. I sounded like Rosanna
Rosette, Danna. This girl, how is she gonna get through her a
theater performance without us a caffeine? She needs a Starbucks. So I'd fold
such a lynette. I went to go pick up Xander and I went to
Starbucks and I got her tomato and mozzarella sandwich. He got and her coffee,
and I got Xander a coffee and a sandwich. And then I said,
Sadie, come meet me outside at the pickup where I pick up Xander.
And she came out and I was like, I gosunded her with her
sandwich. She was like it was it was like she freaked. She was
like, oh my god, you didn't thank you so much. Oh my
god. So nobody, Like, I don't know if they are or not,
but I'm assuming none of these parents are gonna are coming through now.
And I feel like the teacher would have said to us, hey, don't
worry about food. One of the parents is stepped up. But I don't
even I feel bad. I don't want somebody buying everybody dinner, Like that's
how do we pitch in, right? And then the teacher goes, hey,
if one of the parents or like a group of you could provide food,
It's like, well, we don't have each other's emails or just bcced
on this email. Yeah, so how are you supposed to organize and talk?
Like it's bizarre? Oh why not everybody just be in charge, like,
hey, your kid's gonna be here all day, bring them food or
take it. They're in charge of their own because nobody's there's no one that
seems to have stepped up, so like, and then he sent also these
emails saying I also need somebody to bring like baked goods, like cookies,
so we could sell them at any mission. So I was like, okay,
I'll do that. I did that for Sadie, and so I sent
him the cookies this morning, and then we had to put them in like
she had to put them in his office or whatever. But it's like,
then he personally sent me an email. I sent him an email. I
said, I'm happy to bring provide cookies. So he sends me an email
back directly just to me, thank you so much. But it's like,
why don't you send it to a bunch of the parents and say, Hey,
Stephanie's gonna bring some cookies. Do we have any takers for the dinner?
Right? Give us each other's email. I don't know. I don't
know. Maybe you should get in charge for next year. Maybe you gotta.
Okay, so take over. So the mom who's in charge of all
this, whose boss bossy Pants, was like, hey, we need somebody
in a leadership role. Can somebody sign up to president? And then you
would be co president for a year. Yeah, but then you got to
work with bossy pants for a year and like learn the ropes from her.
So I said to John, I go listen, this school needs me on
that ledge, right they I should probably sign up to do this. And
he was like, oh my god, you will hate your life so much.
You will you every day be so angry I know, I thought about
that a lot of content. I'll have so many patreons. Yes, think
about it. Do it. You have never done that before, you could
deal it. You'll be fine. John goes, it's going to be so
time consuming. I'll buy a pizza. I'll help you out. I'm like,
I know, but what I'm not that busy, but like, well
you kind of all you're busy. You have a lot going on, You're
teaching classes and she I know watching The Bachelor. You got a lot going
So what I was gonna say is that, isn't it interesting that, like,
like the stuff that's happening at night. So now regular parents can go
to shit like at night, right, but I can't. So I'm like,
I can't go on Wednesday because I have to teach, so like all
my jobs now seem to be kind of in the evening and like regular but
like I'm like, now is the time that you could have all kinds of
shit that happens during the day where most parents can't come, and I'd be
the hero, right, I'm like, I got nothing to do with one
of day afternoon. Yes, I'm showing up for shit left and right,
right, but put it at night, and now I'm like, all the
other parents are like, great, we'll come see our kids, and I'm
like I'm out. Yeah, but but the other parents should be available.
I mean, I think an evening time should be the easier time for people,
for most people. Everybody's got podcast. How You're right, I'm saying.
I'm saying, good for the kids that they're doing these these shows at
night, yeah, where regular people can go. Yeah. But now I'm
like, oh, I'm sorry, I can't go to your thing, right,
but you could provide the food, That's what I was saying. I
was like, I'll provide cook He's yeah, not dinner. Right. You
know what is a really amazing thing our new friends at Loomy Labs, Yeah,
who have a really good line of products for microdosing THHC. Kaylin can't
wait to try. Yeah. They just sent it over to us and Amy
tried one the other night before she went to bed because sometimes she has trouble
sleeping through the night, and she said she didn't feel high, but she
got a full night's sleep. I'm going to try it, Yeah, I
think I'm gonna I'm gonna try out to my microdocing one now too. I
just got him the other day in the mail, so now I've already had
them because I do ads for them for my other podcast. And oh my
god, John fell in love. So John is like all about trying a
lot of different things to help with his depression and anxiety, and he's really
open to trying a lot of stuff, and microdocing seems to kind of be
the ticket. Yeah, microdocing's gotten really huge days. Yes, in the
wellness community. It's great for like working out and like the recovery from like
your muscles from working out. It's good for creativity, it's good for writing.
It's good for a lot of different things where you just want to kind
of quiet the background like noise and anxiety and help you just feel more clear.
Great for sleeping. It's great for so many things. And this company,
Loomy Labs, has a lot of different products for a lot of different
things that you might want it for. Like they have the true microdosing,
which is a very very small amount of THC. It's won't get you high,
but you can take you can step up, Like you could take two
of them, you might get a little bit of high. You could take
three of them for a proper dose, but then they also have like full
dose like THC gummies. Right. I love that. I'm gonna I can't
wait to try it. I want to try the sleeping one too. Yeah.
It's just like you can take the smallest dose. You could even get
the microdose and just take like a half of one. You know, you
could experiment with like tiny doses and like see what works for you. Yeah,
but I really think this is like the future. So microdose is available
nationwide, and to learn more about microdosing THHC, go to microdose dot com
and use the code fcol to get free shipping and thirty percent off of your
first order. That's good. Links can be found in our show description.
But again that's microdose dot Com code fco L. Nice. Yeah, I
love it. So yeah, Kaylin, you were talking about the show Mayor
of Kingstown. Yeah, yeah, with Jamie Renner. Yes, I woke
up. We talk about not being able to sleep. I woke up at
three thirty four o'clock in the morning the other night. Oh no, I
know, and my bedroom is over Tally's room. Anyway, I was like,
I'm gonna put something on. I'm gonna I want to watch something so
I put on that and I started watching it, and I like it,
except though I had to put it. I didn't want it too loud,
so I had to put the I always have the captions on on my television,
all of them, because I just like to read the captions. It's
I feel like I can you miss a lot of ships. Not all the
time, but a lot of the time. I just read an article about
how a lot of people are using the closed captioning has something about the way
the sound is recorded a TV shows. It makes it. It oftentimes gets
swallowed up by the background toys or by the music. Yes, by the
mix, yes, because there's a lot of shows where they don't make like
up. For instance, Yellow Jackets on Showtime. By the way, great
soundtrack they have. They have like a lot OF's Morisset singing, like the
theme song, but they also play like songs from our you know, like
the eighties and nineties and stuff. But the soundtrack it clouds out. You
can't really hear the dialogue sometimes, so I have the captions on. But
yeah, started watching that, um and I like it, So I'm gonna
I'm gonna stick with it because I needed I wanted something to the only problem
so there's two seasons of it. It's on, it's on Paramount, I
think. Yeah, um, the only problem with it is I was like
watching the second season, going, oh, it's gonna be a really long
time before I can get any more of these episodes because of what happened to
him. Yes, because he got injured. Yeah, he almost died.
Yeah yeah yeah. Well also the writer strike, now, oh yeah,
that's fucking everything up too. Yes, I heard that it could be a
long like maybe until until September. Are you serious? Yeah, that's gonna
screw all of us up with our TV shows. Yeah. No, I
talked to a writer that that seems to like, you know, be under
you know, know what's going on, And they're not even in negotiations yet,
Like they're so far apart, and they're I live by the CBS Radford
studio, so I drive by and they're all out there and picketing. But
yeah, we could be screwed. What are like the daily talk shows doing
like they're on, they're just down, they're down. Melissa came over the
other night, Sally you know, he's a writer on Kimmel and they're all
off, they're just sitting at home they can't go to works. Yeah,
it does suck. Hopefully it's gonna suck for all of us. It's gonna
affect us our TV shows. Is The Bachelor on right? That? Well?
Yeah, they have writers, right, I mean they have I guess
they have writers for like the host copy. I wonder if that will stop
them from production, although I wonder if that season's already done right right,
the season's about to air in June, they've probably already finished it. Yeah,
but yeah, did you ever see the documentary about Lulu lu La Row?
Yes? Did we ever talk about it? I did talk about it,
Yes, Yes, I never saw the documentary on Amazon Lula Rich.
Yeah, I just oh my god, I was like that again, Oh
my god. And by the way, their clothing is like ugly, Oh
my god. Those leggings are ridiculously ridiculous, Like the hell was buying that
shit? But it's so interesting, was fascinating, like the story of of
it and like all these the MLMs and all these people and then the they
were calling the leggings stinky leggings because they would come back like smelling like mold
and stuff. Did you see so us? Okay, it wasn't there a
podcast on it? Yes, there's a podcast on it too, I think,
yeah, yeah, yeah, I watched listen to the podcast again too.
That was really good. Yeah yeah, I watched it with John.
He was super into it. Oh. I love that. I love a
m too. I love it. I love it. Oh yeah, wasn't
the girl remember the girl that was murdered by her husband? Remember Chris?
Yes? She, yes, she didn't she she was that what it was?
She was in some m I was doing. Yeah, yeah, I
remember that. What about the Lori Valo verdict? Oh my god. Yeah,
I went down a rabbit hole today with that. I was watching,
Well, I watched the date Line on Friday. Did you watch the Dateline?
No? But just every one of my podcasts like, they're like,
I think twenty twenty, I think is has a bunch. They're covering the
trial twenty twenty is I think so? On my podcast app Oh okay,
all right, I didn't see a twenty twenty on it, but I watched
the date Line and um, it's kind of the same story. But then
at the very end then they showed that the trial stuff. But then I
watched like YouTube videos of the trial and like the audio recordings. It's unbelievable.
Like I don't think that I think that she's mentally she's got to be
mentally ill, Like she's really thought that her kids were demons. I mean,
but then how did she get But then she got other people involved in
it too, Yes, yeah, her brother. It's forty eight hours.
Oh, forty eighty eight hours is like a lot of the last few episodes,
they're all Lorie inside the Lorie davel Tild. Okay, I'm gonna watch
that Lorie Valo Davila. There was one of our listeners was her brother,
I want to say, was one of Lorie was one of the ex husbands.
What one of her ex husbands. Yeah, this woman named Cheryl who
was like used to message me a lot, really wanted to come on the
show. Oh god, yeah, one of the ex husbands. She was
maybe the mom of one of her ex husbands who died. Oh wow,
Yeah, how many husbands did this bitch have? Like she had three?
Right, yes? Two or three? And then she like like yeah,
I guess, but she had like her brother doing the dirty work for her
and stuff like that. Yeah, like what the fuck, like killing his
nephews and I mean, so was the brother also, I mean, how
did she get everybody into that? That's what I don't I don't under Well,
she met the day Bell guy or whatever is Chad day Bell and then
like she was under his spell. But then the fact that her brother was
like it like under his spell too, which was weird. It's the like,
but wasn't she already kind of cuckoo before she met that guy? I
think so, yes, yeah, yeah. And then her son, JJ,
the little boy wasn't really her biological son. She adopted him. Oh
god, I don't know how she adopted him though, I can't figure that.
I gotta look it up. But anyway, it was really interesting,
Like and right before Mother's Day weekend, like she got sentenced. I mean
she got the verdict, yeah, which is did she get the death penalty?
Well, they didn't sentence. She hasn't had her sentencing yet. She
was just you know, and they came back with a verdict within like seven
hours. They were I love all those like when I hear a crime show
and you're listening to it and you're like, oh my god, this person's
obviously guilty, but then they give you some kind of doubt that the jury
is going to come back, and then you get like nervous about it,
and then they go, oh they the jury was out for like an hour
and a half, and you're like, oh, okay, good, yes,
I mean it was obvious like like and then she had like her sister
called her. They played the audio. I looked it up online, the
audio of her sister calling her in jail, like what the fuck? You're
on the beach smiling and your your kids are buried in his backyard, Like
what the hell? It's crazy, crazy story. Um, I watched a
show that you recommended the other day and I watched like four episodes of it,
Flaked Yes with Will Arnett. Arnett Okay, so interesting story. Would
like it? Yeah? Yeah, I do, like Will Arnett, you
would like it? Okay. So Will Arnette plays a guy who's recovering alcoholic
and he's getting going through a divorce, getting divorced, and he like lives
in Venice, right, and it's really into like the um culture of AA,
Like he goes to meetings, Like I think it's opening scene is like
he's at an AA meeting and um, you know, people are sharing and
like, and he meets a girl in AA who seems kind of fucked up,
and then he says to his friend, it's a lot of like inside
a speak, yeah yeah, because he's like, oh, I'm not I
can't date her. The it's with him and his friend and his his really
good friend kind of likes this girl. But and it's you know, anyway,
his character. This is what's kind of interesting. So early on you
realize that he's having a relapse, like he starts drinking again, but he
doesn't tell anybody he's relapsing, and he's like pretending to be sober and he's
been like ten years or fifteen years sober, right, and he's running the
meetings and stuff. Yeah yeah, Okay, So I went down the little
rabbit hole investigating about this show, and by the way, horrible reviews,
which really I don't think it's fair. I think it's a good show.
I like it. I think it's really I think it's it's like a little
drama y M. And I think it's really interesting. I would say the
second season is better. Oh really, yeah, it's funnier in the second
season. Okay, Well, interesting thing is that Will Arnett it is sober,
he got he was married if you remember to Amy Poehler, right,
went through a divorce with her, wanted to make this show because it's kind
of like based on his life. Then had a relapse while making the show.
Yeah, and had been sober about the same amount of time as the
character he played. But like the stress of making the show and like trying
to make a really good show and like you know, writing and directing and
doing all like being as involved drove him a little bit crazy, and it
ended up relapsing while making the show. Yes, wow, like life imitates
art. Wow. So then he re he got you know, according to
what I was reading, he was like, did a bunch of interviews about
it, and he then got back his sobriety and like now he's sober again.
Oh that's good, and that's good. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting
because in the show he was married to this actress like this played by what's
her face? Oh right, she's in Boogie Nights. She's a roller girl?
Yeah, uh, oh my god, what's her name? Roller Girl
and Boogie Nights. Yeah, she was in Austin Powers. I can't think
of her name. Yeah, oh my god. You know what makes me
feel better than Kaitlin Kimp think right now, he's got our brain now yeah,
yeah, never would have come up with that. No, it wasn't
even close. I was like Park, I was like, yes, I
was. In the case I would have been, I would have had to
go all the way through the rest of the alphabet. Yeah yeah, Heather
Graham. Okay, yeah, so so he's in that show. He's married
to her and she's like a big actress, so that makes sense. I
didn't even think about it because he was married to Amy Poehler. Okay,
yeah, it's it's cute. It's a good show. I've been looking like
for something to binge and watch. Well, I have a new podcast for
you. I've listened to every episode already, but it's called Killed. Have
you heard of this podcast? Okay, so I think you would really like
it. I binge bing binge, like listen to every up. There's two
seasons or not that long of seasons, but I probably listened to like sixteen
episodes in a couple of days. Wow, I just was listening over anyway.
It's about newspaper story newspaper or magazine. It's about stories that got killed
the by like the paper or the magazine that they were pitched too, and
there's really interesting stories, like for instance, Phil Specter's daughter wanted to do
a story about how Phil Spector died in prison of COVID. Did he he
yes, Oh I didn't. I didn't realize that. So his daughter was
like visiting him towards at the very end, and like the prison said that
he died of natural causes. Now, now when you get a little bit
more into the story, though, you find out that, like it's because
they don't have a thing for like COVID or for a disease. The natural
causes just means he wasn't like murdered by another inmate, like they have certain
designations, so it's not like they were trying to cover it up. But
around that time the prison system, tons of prisoners were getting COVID. If
you remember right back in twenty twenty, there was like it was an epidemic
in prisons and nobody was like protecting them. Then they were letting some people
have a compassionate release, but then other people weren't, and like lots of
prisoners were dying of COVID, And she was trying to get him released towards
the end because he was old and he was like, yeah, but they
didn't release him and he ended up dying in prison of COVID anyway, So
she was trying to wanted to write the story and use the fact that she's
the daughter of Phil Specter to like tell a story about what's going on in
the prisons with the COVID, you know. And anyway, the story got
killed. Oh yeah, And it was just it was interesting because it's not
always just that they're trying to cover it up, like just like some of
the stories are that the magazine didn't want to like like they were kind of
covering for the person. Right. There was one about Jeffrey Epstein. There
was one about um Brian Brian what's his name, pedophile director? Oh,
Brian Singer, Bryan Singer. Um, So there was like a story about
him somebody these anyway, it's so good. All those stories are kind of
are interesting, like things that you're like, oh, I didn't know this
about the story. And they're all kind of told with interviews with the reporter
that tried to do the story that got their story killed. Oh and it's
called killed killed, bringing killed stories to light, bringing the life ran killed
stories back to life. Anyway, it's really. I think it's really good.
I'm gonna listen to it interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
gonna listen to it. I need something to listen to. Yeah. Um,
did you know that Garaghos is representing the Menendez brothers. You told me
a week Yeah, that's so crazy. He's insane. Yeah. Do you
think he'd be a guest on our show? I would love for him to
come on. He's going to New York in a couple of weeks with Adam
and Natalia? Oh really on Labor Memorial weekend? Oh what for Adam Scott
shows in New York and Natalia is gonna go with her dad. Yeah,
it's Adam's birthday weekend. I see they fix that. Yeah yeah. What
else are we gonna talk about? Um? Oh, so Saturday that just
passed was Xander's Groundling show. Oh yeah, okay, so so cute.
Um. I took them down to the show, and then I had to
like, yet, you know, have sushi? I went and had sushi.
Did everybody's well? Behaved at the sushi? I was the only one
in there. And then I went to watch the show with the other parents
and it was really cute. So it was funny because one of the moms
was saying, we're trying to find a class for them all to do it
over the summer, and one of the moms was asking and was saying like
maybe they could do this drop in class. And I was like, they're
not gonna want to do that because the drop in classes are for all eight
like for ten to eighteen. And I was remembering that Natalia said it was
all like little kids, right right right, because I don't know if they're
gonna want to do that, but anyway, so it's all the parents and
it's the kids. And then the parents were so bad at like coming up
with any suggestions. So then I felt all this pressure because I was like
I'm the only funny one in here, so that they'd be like anything like
name will place people go on vacation or whatever, crickets from the parents.
I was like, come on, you guys were killing me here, like
you got to help these kids out. Yeah. At one point they asked
for we need a suggestion. So finally one of the parents was like Fiji,
Oh, like that's where Sonny's going MoU Fiji. Okay, yeah,
that's crazy. So then one of them was like name a genre. Oh
my god, I forgot what it was like, Oh, name is something
that you would make in a factory, and somebody goes on balloons and even
even the teacher was like, okay, anybody else, anybody else got a
suggestion? And then somebody goes u pasta and nobody was coming up with suggestions
and I'd already done one for the worst one before. I was like,
I can't be I don't want to be that, Like, I can't be
that person. Like, guys, everybody relaxed. I have a stand up
background, I've done improv guys. I didn't want to be that first,
right. So one of the things that I did give it, one of
them said, okay, we need to give something that the kids are Oh,
it's a support group. What's something funny that these kids could be addicted
to? Okay? So I'd gone through this with Xander at the last show
and they said earwax and it was really like death. It was just not
a funny bit, because what do you I mean, Hey, I picked
some more earwax out of my ear. I'm trying not to pick earwax out
of my ear. And on the way home that day, I had given
the suggestion that they were addicted to giving compliments, and Xander was like,
oh my god, mom, that would have been so funny. I can
think of so many funny things for that, like you could be you know,
like, okay, we're all here to like get better from giving compliments
like I love your shoes. Oh sorry, like you know, and so
anyway, so they were doing that same game, so I said giving Oh
so somebody else gave one that was just like another one deaf, like it
was like something so stupid, right, So I said the guy was like
any anything else and I go giving compliments and Xander looked at me like,
yes, thank you, and then he was like, oh I like that
this guy did. Okay, So anyway, I had already I'd already starred
at that parents. Yes, and in the giving suggestions arena right. So
I was like, I gotta let these parents do something right, Oh my
god. Then they did another one, like name a genre of a book
of books and nope. Finally somebody goes um romance and he was like,
okay, great romance. Okay, I need a title for the book,
you know. So he wants the parents to come up with the title.
The title because then the kids are going to tell tell the story, right,
right, But you got to give them something to go off of,
and like nothing, nobody would come up with the teachers come up with anything.
Well, finally the teacher was like, okay, these parents are giving
me nothing. So he goes, okay, somebody give me a name,
you know. So then some but he was like Chris, you know.
So he's like, okay, great, and somebody give me a place that
people could meet. It's really quiet place. Only somebody goes coffee shop.
It's just gonna say a coffee shop. So he goes, okay, this
is the story of Chris in the coffee shop. And then they the kids
did like a funny thing or whatever. But I was like, oh my
god, these parents are ruining it. Oh by the way, like the
teachers, it's not their first time. I'm sure they do this every other
weekend. You know, you just got a dead batch. Yeah. Parents,
Yeah, but they should have like some kind of like if nobody's gonna
step up, they should have something chambered, you know what I mean.
They must do the teacher. But it's right, so the teacher doesn't want
to seem like he's feeding them like something that can be pre planned. Yeah,
you know, I mean I get it. They're not all like Wayne
Brady. Okay, still, you know you want to seem like they're getting
something from the parents. He's trying to let them give the parents a chance,
right, you know. But I was just like, guys, come
through. I know it's in something. I can't be shouting suggestions for everything.
Yeah, how was it liked? It was really cute. He did
great. All the kids were really cute. And I told you that they've
been like they've made friends. Yeah, on the phone all the time.
Um. And then afterwards he was like, they all went to um Mels
Drive in Yahs, it's like Mels Diner anyway. Um. So I drove
over a couple of the kids and they were just like so cute in the
car. That's cute. Yeah. And then I had to literally like circle
because I'm in Hollywood. I can't go home and come back. By the
time I got home, it was like four o'clock. I'd spent the whole
time like either sitting in my car. Yeah, Like I had to go
just drive and it's you're in the heart of Hollywood. There's nowhere to park.
So I literally just part I pulled over on a side street and just
like rolled calls and it was really hot out and I didn't want to leave
my car on the time. Yeah right, yeah. I was just like,
oh my god, I really want to have fun with his friends,
but it's killing me. Yeah, I get it. You've been there,
yes, yeah. Eventually I got out of my car because I had found
a parking spot, but it was hot in the car and I was sick
of just leaving the car running, so I part, I got out,
I put money in the meter, and I just like sat under the awning
of like a building on the ground. Huh you know, speaking of that,
I had to sit in the car a couple I don't know, just
a while ago in Pasadena and I was killing time and I was sitting in
a in a metered spot and I paid for the meter, and then I
had to wait again for another hour. I can't remember what I was doing.
And I was like, screw this, I'm not gonna I'm not paying.
I'm not paying the meter, and the meter made dude on his bicycle
comes up and I go, are you really going to give me a ticket?
I'm sitting in the car. I could be leaving like I'm just waiting.
I'm waiting on somebody. I'll be done, and you're really gonna give
me a ticket? And he was like, I go, is this what
you're doing? Like I was very irritated that day. I was like,
you know, it's one of those days where I just was like I had
an ass for everybody. And I was like, seriously, this is what
your job is. It's just to give people tickets, like I'm a taxpaying
person, Like I'm good. And he was like, no, you know
what, you're right not giving you a ticket. And he's like, I'm
done, and he just drove off on his bike. He didn't give anybody
tickets, just left and he was like, you're right, You're right,
You're right, ma'am. Maybe he just quit right there. Yes, the
psion. I turned into Adam for a second and I was just like that
and he was like, yeah, you're right, I'm I'm I'm not I'm
not gonna give you a ticket. Have a nice day, ma'am. When
does that ever? It doesn't ever happen, but it happened after I gave
him a piece of my mind. Wow, it was. It was a
good feeling. It was a good feeling. Yeah, out of you,
thank you, thank you. Yeah. So now I'm just like looking forward
to Sadie and Xander having their driver's license. Yeah. Oh, but then
I was thinking, even if he did, he would have I still would
have wanted to come watch his performance. I probably still would have taken him
there. Yeah. And also stuff is a lot. Yeah. Yeah,
so I'm finally feeling better. That's good. He looked better. This is
the longest cold I think I've ever had. Really, you were still I
was still coughing up to yesterday. Oh I didn't know that. Yes,
Oh, you'll sound good, are after my my antibiotics were done? Still
coughing. Having last night at the so everybody last night was when I was
at paton Oswald. Yeah, having to like eat like hard candy. Now
Katerina should not with her mom exactly, but I was having to eat can't
just to just to make sure that I wasn't right right, because that's the
worst feeling when you feel like you're going to cough in an environment where you
don't want to cough. Yeah, it's quiet. The last thing you want
to do is cough, and then all you do is focus on that cough
that's coming up, the worst, the worst. Yeah, well good,
Well we're only only second to when you're trying to podcast, right, and
I'm like, oh god, here it comes, here, it comes,
And then I try to make eye contact with Kalin like it's coming, happening,
It's happening, it's happening. Yeah. So what else are you guys
watching any or listening to anything? Good? Um, I've just been you
know, looking just I've been watching I love documentaries. I can't get enough
of it. I just see. All I do is like I was watching
this documentary and Discovery channel about animals, like killer animals. Huh. I
forgot the name of it. But it's like people that have animals, you
know, exotic animals. There was a guy who had uh, one of
the he had, um, those one of those alligators and iguanas, but
like they're called something dragons dragons, Yes, he had them for a bit
off of what's her name? What's the actress's name that has like really short
blonde hair. Um, she's very, very very famous. She's getting a
little bit older now. Anyway, her husband, remember got like his toe
got bitten by a Komoto dragon Komodo dragons. I don't remember that. This
guy had a couple of them and they were telling the story and he went
to work and one day and he showed his coworkers that one of the dragons
bit his finger, and he was like, you know, laughing about it.
Then he went home that weekend and then come Monday, he didn't show
up for work. Come Tuesday, they're doing a they're doing a fair check
on him. Turns out he collapses in his apartment and because because he got
poisoned, and I kind of like dies and then gets eaten by the dragons
and his whole face is like eating off. His neighbor described what he saw,
like you could see his mold, Like his whole face was. The
dragons were just walking around his apartment, Hey, eating him because he collapsed
because he had he got poisoned by one of them. Yeah, then there's
all these other people that like keep tigers. You know. That's there's a
story in Ohio of this guy that had like I think, like I don't
know, thirteen tigers and lions and a couple of baboons and he couldn't.
The thing is is these things cost a lot of money. You gotta fucking
you know, you gotta feed him, and they go into debt. People
go into debt, and uh, he was he was up set that he
couldn't He was like losing his house because he was financially you know, burden.
So he he opens all the gates of where they are, He opens
all the fences, shoots himself, kills himself. So and then they think
that he did that on purpose so that the lions could eat him, and
they all they tore him apart, and then they had to kill the sheriffs
show up. They had to kill all the tigers. It's so sad,
like they showed them like all the dead tigers in the street. Yeah,
well this has taking a turn, I know now it's this is about to
get even worse. Do you remember the story about the lady these people that
had that chimp that was in there too, I wand the one where a
friend friend came over and then the chimps like e like yes, off her
face. The chimp thing is the sad thing. The people that have chimps,
they take, yes, they keep him as a baby, and then
they get older and then at some point they go ape shit. Yeah,
like so that story. Yeah. I an obsessed with that story till a
while, obsessed. There was a whole episode on that. Yeah. Yeah,
and so, but there was warning signs because the chimp was already starting
to be kind of a bad boy, right, Like at one point it
had tried to escape and then the police. Remember it was like tried to
attack a police officer or something that was gotten out of the car. Yeah,
well that was that's what happened when they when the so, the woman
that owned the chimp called the nine one one and she's like, he's he's
attacking my friend. Kill him. She she stabbed the chimp she had actually
that's like one of her was like her son. She stabbed a chimp.
It didn't do anything. He still attacked her friend, ripped her face off.
Yeah, and he like her fingers off, said her face yes,
and then they were like she was like kill him, kill him, kill
him. They had to shoot him and kill him. They found him and
then they shot. Yeah, he got in the car, but the damage
was done. Yeah it was. And she survived. I know, but
um, like her whole face is she's still alive. Yeah, well I
don't know if she's still alive, but she did survive and they showed like
hers just a terrifying story. If you want to google that. Yeah.
I think it's called Deadly Instincts or something. It's on the Discovery network.
