we should do a check in online, make sure we're okay, yeah,
market safe. Yeah, yeah, it is raining so hard. So I
left a lot of time to get here this morning because I was like,
I am not going to be late like I was before. I'm not going
to be like, oh geez, I didn't know there'd be traffic, you
know, because it's pouring rain outside. Well it was hard. It took
me like ten minutes, right, because it's because there's no one on the
road. It's President's weekend. Yeah, yeah, well this weekend. So
a couple of months ago, Natalia asked me if I could because she knows
I have a hookup at a Disney Disneyland once in a while. Maybe I
could get tickets because I get friends that work there, and they give tickets
to employees, you know, a couple of times a year, so people
rap. You know, people's out there, because you still have friends that
work for ABC. Yeah, like yeah, so so she because she said,
you know, it's our one year anniversary her and her boyfriend, and
I want to take them to Disneyland. And it's February, the week the
Saturday after of Valentine's So I asked Suzanne and she's like, well, what
they do now is they get tickets, but they can also go online,
I guess, and make a reservation. But a lot of times it's booked,
like if you want to make a reservation for next Saturday, it's booked
until like you know, May something like that. So she first went online
it was booked, and she's like, I'll keep checking. And I was
like, don't worry about it, and then she responded, She's like,
oh, I got it, so we can. We can go. She
goes, but the catches is I have to walk them in to Disneyland.
They have to come in with me. So I was like, all right.
She's like, but our girl, Robin has the same deal. Her
husband works for Disney. There you go, and she has to. She
will sometimes drive because she's a really nice van. She will drive people.
She'll drive all the way to Disneyland, walk people in and then go and
then leave then bounce. So we she but she's Suzanne was like, you
know it could be fun, like the two of us, you know,
we can go down there together and hang out. And she's like, cause,
you know, I see Suzanne a little here and there, but we
talk more all the time. But so I was like, okay. So
then the time comes and it's like it's time to go to Disneyland, like
all right, so, uh we get up early, I go pick her
up. We want to get It opens at eight. Of course the kids
want to get there at eight. But uh so we get there like eight
thirty. It's a freaking madhouse because it's President's weekend. So the line just
to get into the park in your car to park your car, oh no,
was like forty five minutes. Oh no, yeah, So we took
two cars so that they those two stay and then we can leave whenever we
want. So we get in and and then and then you gotta wait in
this huge line to go through security just secure nightmare. Then you get in
on the tram and the tram takes you to the to the front gates.
Right then you gotta wait in line there. So it's about two hours by
the time you get into the park. At least. I can't I know,
I can't I know. So then we get in the park. It
was like I was excited because I was like, I haven't been here in
a long time. This will be fun. Susanna was excited all right.
So the Italian or boyfriend were like, you know, uh we we're like
where you guys want to go first? And they wanted to go to thunder
Mountain. And then we were hungry. Well yeah, it had been like
sixty hours starving. Right, I'm like I need a coffee body to eat
itself. Like I'm like, uh yeah, we need a little pick me
up. So you guys go, we'll go get some breakfast. So then
we go to like you know Main Street where the you know there's little cafes
breakfast. It's like there's a little place here. So we go there.
There's like, first of all, there was this they have a Starbucks inside.
The line is like around the block. Oh yeah, are Starbucks at
Disneyland. And she's like, I've never seen because she goes there a lot
to work. She's there at the park a lot, and she's like,
I've never seen the line for Starbucks that long ever. And I'm like,
okay, this is a bad sign Starbucks exactly right, Yeah, right,
So then we go to get something. We walk in, you know,
so we're like, hey, party of two and they're like you have a
reservation. We're like no, and they're like, well you need to make
a reservate. Well how do you do that? Everything's on a freaking app?
Yep, yeah, app. Whe's last time you've been to Disneyland.
I was there not that long ago, so I do know how that works.
Now. Yeah, you got to reserve anything. You can't just walk
in anywhere anymore. No, They're like, whoa, no, thinking do
you reserve yesterday? He was like no, I didn't know where I wanted
to. I don't even know it was coming to Disneyland yesterday. Oh I
know. So then so we we gotta put on it. I've got to
get the app go and then so we download the app. She has the
app. Then she looks on the app and it's like it's it's like nine
forty five, almost ten, and their next available at that place was twelve
thirty. Like fuck that, you know right now? But then how can
you get anything? I know that'll be like one place where like in California
Adventure where there's like a little store where they sell like apples. Right,
So what I did? Serious? I bought a banana? Are you did?
I bought a banana half of a cart because I was starving, That's
what I'm saying. You're like, that's really all I can get. You
can't even get like a croissant. No, okay. So then there's this
clissong, right, so to go to France, France Land, France Land.
So there there's this cart that sells croissants and hot chocolate and coffee,
and it's right next to like this theater, you know, and it's open.
It's covered because it was freezing too, so it's covered, but it's
still like outdoors and they don't have a show starting yet. So I was
like, oh, we could sit in there and eat because I see other
people eating. So we get our little croissants and our coffee. We sit
down inside there, We start eating, start talking. I got my back
to the stage. All of a sudden, it's like little kids, ladies
and gentlemen get ready for our theater show starting now. And I mean,
Susanna, I like, oh my god, stand up. We gather all
our shit, Our napkins are flying everywhere. We get out. What's the
show something like that, like you know, like like some Disney Yeah,
somebody wearing the be some show where the guy is wearing a like geenie hat
and he's got a long thing. It's like a pointy hat and a long
scarf coming out of the back right, you know, he's probably like in
between auditions. It's like that. So so then we gather us did you
feel bad, Like, oh, we're not trying to walk out on your
show? But I didn't because we sat in the back. Soon as it
started, we high tailed it. So then so then we're like, Okay,
now we got our belly a little full or something, so then we
go Okay. Suzanne wanted to go to Star Wars, the new Star Wars.
Caitlin, have you seen it? Have you been? Yeah? I
went, Uh, yeah, I went fairly recently, but probably not on
President's Day weekend. No, No, I went on. Uh it was
for Ila's birthday. So it was in the middle of summer. It was
hot. Fuck. I was just drenched with sweat. But there's like,
there's no way I'm going to get on any of the Star Wars rides,
but I just want to go take a look at it. Yeah, it
was very cool, very cool. But I didn'tet to do any of the
rides. Oh you didn't do the ride. Oh okay, so there's a
ride apparently, Oh there's it's an experience. Oh like they cape, they
take you captive. I don't know. I don't want Star Wars, but
Suzanne does. And Suzanne she's got us in. So I'm not gonna go
fuck Star Wars. Susanne like, let's go, like, let's go on
the roller coaster or something, right, you know. But she's like she
even told the kids, like, let's go to Star Wars and they were
like and her boyfriend, Natalia's boy room was like, oh, I want
to to tell you. He's like, well, I got it all mapped
out. We're gonna do that a little later whatever. So we were like,
okay, you guys do your thing. So Suzanna again said let's go
do the Star Wars thing. It's pretty cool. And I'm like, okay,
all right, all right, just along for the ride, all right.
So we go. And there's also this Genie app now that you got
to download if you want to do a fast pass. It's a whole kashaw
oh yeah, and then you got to pay for it, pay for it,
pay for the app. Yes, and it doesn't even it's not really
a fast pass. It's like you can order a fast pass, but then
you have to wait until you've gone on thatout right, it's all done,
and then you have to wait another through that. Yes, it's all done
through the app now, and you have to pay for it that day.
And it doesn't cover all the rides like Star Wars, and if you want
the Star Wars one, you got to pay an etch. The place is
a racket. Oh, it's such a ride. It's really a racket.
It's a racket, and it doesn't save you that much time. It's like
you have to be on top of it of your whole day. And I
don't like having to download apps because I'm always it's like, first of all,
then you're like, wait, why is my WiFi now? The thing's
not downloading. And then you're like, well, if I can't download it,
you can't. They're like, well you're sorry, I don't and then
like who wants to walk around Disneyland staring at your phone? You know?
So anyway, so Nils say, we don't have the app to get so
we get there and we're and the wait time it said like ninety minutes or
something like that. Was it ninety No, it was like sixty minutes,
okay, and it's like, let's just wait, it'll be fun. We
can catch up. So we did. We caught up, and we were
talking for the whole you know, in line. Were you at all like,
well, we just caught up over croissants. We're caught up, Suzanna
and I can talk. Yeah, we can talk. Okay, that's good.
Yeah. So, uh so we're in line and by the time it
was probably close to two hours that we were in line. Yeah, yeah,
okay, And so that sixty minutes was a big, fat lie,
a big lie. And so then let's tell you that's how they get you.
And then we're in and I don't know who any of these characters are,
and they're like you're being taken hostage and you're gonna have to fight the
bad guys. And I see all the guys like in white, and I'm
like, are those are the good guys? And then I see all the
guys in black, and she's like those are the bad guys. I got
I figured, you know, like they all like there's the loop, the
the Darth Vader junior guy up at the top. Then they're talking to you,
you know, like this is your mission. You gotta like and I
don't know who anybody is, you know. Also, I feel like you
would be you know, me with my weird anxieties that come up, which
I know probably remind you a little little bit of when you used to podcast
with Teresa and she'd have weird stuff that probably makes you you impatient, But
I don't. I've never liked anything where I'm too in charge of stuff like
I just want to I just want to sit back and you just you to
guide me around like I don't don't give me a gun or a lightsaber.
I don't want to be in charge. I've never liked bumper cars. When
I was like, I was like, wait, so I'm I'm driving around
Like if if somebody wants to be the driver, I'll sit. I'll sit
shotgun like you figure out where you're going and who are bumping into. I
don't want to be I don't want any responsibility. Like I'm at an amusement
park. I want to be amused right. So as soon that would have
turned me off if they were like, okay, now you have to.
I don't want to have to do anything in order for it to be When
I kept asking Susanne, I'm like, am I gonna have to do something?
They canna touch me? Right? Yeah, I'm had to howld the
gun or something. And it's like no, now, now, now,
now, now, you don't have to do it. It's kind of like
like like the Haunted Me, where you just go in you're supposed to look
alive, step to the next thing. Of course that place was closed anyway
under construction. So yeah, so we do the Star Wars. Then then
finally we get to sit down. We've been standing the whole time, right,
You're like, it's it's not relaxed now because you're going to one cave
to the other cave and they're talking at you and they're screaming at you,
and then they finally you get to sit down. That sounds also a little
bit too much like having to go to like a historical landmark where you're like,
I don't want to just look at stuff and I want to the next
cave. I want to sit down and enjoy. Take me around. Yeah,
put me. I was about to wind in my hair, I know,
I know, so fine, I go, do we get to sit
down? And she goes yeah at some point, so then we finally Anyway,
it was like two and a half three. I mean, you're trying
not to be disgruntled right in even though you're like, we did stand in
line for two hours. I that yes, like is it right? But
I just want to sit down, But you don't want that to hit that
point where the other person's like, Wenette, okay, like we're good,
you know, right. So anyway, so then we get out of there
and I'm we're now we're starving, and it's like lunchtime. So now we
got to figure out where we're gonna eat, right, But you didn't make
the reservation, No, of course not no. So we're looking and all
I see is clam chowder by the and I'm craving that frickin clam chowder.
And then but that is, you know, So then we go and find
the clam chowder. The line is a long. Then you look ato the
restaurant next to you and there's people seated and you're being served. I go,
I want to sit down and be served by a waiter. Can But
we did. We went up and then they said okay, the wait is
fifty minutes for a table for two. We're gonna text you when it's ready,
but you gotta be right back here within ten minutes or your table's gonna
get so now what So, so then we're looking around. We can go
on popy Riads sixty fifty or less and we'll text you and you have ten
minutes to get back here. Now what if we go on Pirates of the
Caribbean, right? Better not? We better not? So then what so
they that are kind of like so then we're like screw that. So then
we went Then we just were like screw this, Let's go to California Adventure.
So we left Disneyland that noise, It was packed everything with the lines
were long. So we go to the California Adventure and then we get something
to eat there and then we're sitting and then we're like tired by the way.
Can I just say that the food options at Disneyland are not are not
great? That's why we go to like what is it like Blue Byou?
Yes? Yeah, but also the food like it's not anything you're gonna want
to eat. It's like you want a po boy sandwich or whatever. Everything
fried? Yes, you can't just get like a salad or something or even
normal like theme park food. But it's also kind of the same with six
Flags. There's not a lot of normal places to eat. Everything's like,
do you want a giant turkey light? No, I my life ever been
like I'd love to eat a giant turkey leg who invented that? Inclet a
fried pickle? I definitely don't know. Or Wars almost is like there's this
one sort of fast food area where they do like sorbet, but also sushi.
No, I'm not eating it's like gas station sushi. I'm not eating
sushi at six Flags. Now, how about just something normal to eat,
right, like a nice pizza, like a good They do have one pizza
place. First of all, Six Flags should have like eight pizza places because
the one pizza place they have, the line is always like four rides.
It's like a mile long, but it's good pizza, but it's really long
line. And then everything else there's this one area at six Pugs because I've
been to six Bugs a million times where we pizza, and then there's everything
else is fried. There's like fried chicken, there's fried chicken fingers. There's
so the pizzas literally the healthiest thing that you can get it six flags.
But there's one pizza place, right, nothing else and then everything else is
random. But Disneyland is worse. Disneyland sucks. Yeah, the food is
there's no I can't think of like just a pizza place. No Disneyland,
No, they don't know. No, you got to go to California Adventure
because then they have like you know, like a decent food cour or little
restaurants, right, yeah, the Vineyard or whatever. You're right. They
have this one place by Space Mountain at Disneyland. It's like a cafeteria style.
Yeah, okay, that's and they have they have at California Adventure.
They have like the San Francisco Sea War for whatever. So like they have
like the clam chowder, which I was craving. Okay, so we went
and got you know how long it took me to get those two clam chowders
the rest of your day, like like an hour I gotta taken driving home.
So we went on one ride in Disneyland, no way, and then
after we were done, we were like should we bounce? And then she's
I was like, let's go in cars. Cars is fun. It's right
there. Oh, I'm sure that was a radiator radiator springs, and they
got they have a single Susanne goes, they have a singles line rider single
rider. So she's like, but we usually could be put like in the
same like at least next to each other. Whatever. Yeah, around the
same time, right, So we go, we get in the single rider
line. Then like forty five minutes in it was supposed to be a forty
five minute wait, it shuts down. The ride breaks, and it was
like, well you temporarily shut down, blah blah blah blah blah, but
mater is gonna try and fix it. If you want to stay in line,
you know, just stay in line. So like we were like,
ah, okay, like and then Susanne's like, this is like we were
gonna leave after that. So we're like, all right, let's just wait,
wait it out, waited out. So we waited it out, and
then it started going again. Then we get to the front and it's a
single so then they go, okay, you stand here, and then she's
standing all the way over there. So now we weren't even next to each
other or even next to we racing each other down the track like she's gone,
I'm gone, I'm by myself, and then that was it. We
left, and then you're put in a car with either with Rando's, so
they'll be like two people in the front and like they'll be a party of
three, let's just say so they're all talking with each other, and then
you're just like, hey, how's it going. I hate it now because
you don't want to just sit there completely silently. You're on like a freaking
ride at Disneyland. You want to be like, hey, yeah, were
ready, But then they're looking at you like we don't know you at all.
You're just a random person and you're sitting right next to somebody you don't
know, thighs are touching. I like, it's not worth it. Let's
take it. Let's take a quick break. Okay, it's so funny because
Robin invited me to go to Disneyland recently. It always sounds a lot better
in theory than it is in practice. But you know who's good at knowing
their limits is Sadie and Xander. Because I asked Sadie and Xander, Robin
had offered me tickets for New Year's Day, I believe and I Sadie and
Xander are both like oh hell no, no, no, no, thank
you, And I'm like, I get I think they already in their minds
were like it's going to be busy that day and I'm like, yeah,
probably, and they're like yeah no. They just don't like, they don't
like to be anywhere trapped for a whole day. They want to be able
to bail and go home, and they don't want to They don't love waiting
in line. So anyway, Elbe is way more upbeat about that stuff normally.
But even she was like, no, I don't know who I could
get to go with me. She tried to get one friend and that friend
was like no, And I think thank god because New Year's Day it would
have been hard to get up early early that morning. But it's just funny
because it always sounds like a good idea to me. I'm like, oh,
free tickets a Disneyland, I get to hang out with Robin. But
it is never n those weights I don't know they lived. It was too
many people. Well and also it's President's weekend, like ridiculous. So this
was Saturday, yeah, oh yeah, and on a weekend, yes,
so and we laughed. After that, we were done. We left at
like four. Yeah, but you've been basically that's how we left it,
like I thought they because every time they go, they stay until it's late,
until mid day closes. They were in the car on the way home
by nine. Oh wow, they were done. Done. Yeah until you
got a job. Wait, okay, knock up. Is she still doing
her internship or did she quit that? Okay? I was waiting for that.
Yeah. So she had dinner. Well, there's this restaurant really like
around the block from our house. You couldn't walk there, and they grew
up eating there. It's really nice. It's like the town restaurant kind of
thing. Okay, and she loves their salmon, it's like our favorite.
And they knew her like they know her. So she was there having dinner
with her dad a couple of weeks ago and they said that they were hiring.
It said hiring a hostess. And so she was like, I'd like
to hire and they were like, oh, we'd love to have you.
So she took their application, she filled it out, she sent an email,
she took her to get. She wanted another ear. She wanted another
piercing in her ear. So she asked, under eighteen your adults to your
parent has to be with you. So I had to be with her.
So she was getting her ears pierced the day last week sometime, and I'm
sitting there and there's a phone number. This number keeps calling on her phone.
She can't answer it because the guy's like piercing her ear and they called
twice, and I go, what if it's the restaurant? And then my
phone rings and it's them, and then they were like, I don't know
how they have my number, but they were like, we'd love for Italian
to come in tomorrow. We really need to hire somebody like asap. Do
you think she could start tomorrow? And I was like, yeah, sure,
and she's like nodding yes. And so then the next day she she
went in and she's already worked twice. Now wow, yeah, and she's
working three days this week. Oh my gosh. Yeah, she's gonna be
working you know mostly. They gave her either Friday or Saturday, so she's
probably you know, like one night on the weekend. But the good thing
is is they close at like nine, like they close early, so she
doesn't have to stay too late. And yeah, she loves it. She's
good. Yeah, yeah, so happy for her. The people. She
loves the people. They're really nice. The girl that trained her is going
to be leaving, but she's really nice. And she's like, oh my
god, I see parents of all my friends come in all the time.
Like it's just every like it. You know. She's like, I see
in this family, that family this like, well, of course, you
know, it's our neighborhood restaurant. So yeah, she it and she's yeah,
she's she's I'm like, how much are they paying you? She's like,
I don't know, like you didn't ask. I'm sure it's a minimum
wage. But like and then I'm like how many hours a week? She's
like, I don't know. They just go when they tell me to.
So but yeah, she's thank god, like I'm excited for her. So
how long did she do the Garagos job? I think she did it like
three months? Oh wow, But she she didn't get paid or anything,
I know, I know, but she was going there all the time.
But you had to drive her all. We had to drivers before she was
driving. But yeah, but yeah, so now she drives and she's working
and yeah, wow wow. Any other school news, No, just the
same name. I think I'm gonna take Sonny to Washington State University to look
at it. Oh, because Suzanna's doing that with her daughter because she got
accepted there. So okay, I think we're gonna go in March for one
day. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, just to check it out.
Get him. That's when he didn't go to No, we never went there.
We went to Oregon, went to we went to Colorado, Colorado for
sunny, right, you you didn't go to a couple No, a couple
of them in Colorado and uh, and then he get the Oregon State too.
You know, he didn't apply. Okay, he wanted to, but
I don't know what happened. So yeah, so we're gonna go to Washington
State University and go check it out. Fun. Yeah, yeah, that's
so cool. I mean, poor Elbie is just like waiting, is she?
What is she? What's the update? What is she? Uh?
She is not going to find out. She mostly applied reapplied to UC's and
a couple of cal states and she's not going to find out until April.
Oh. Really, she's a transfer student. Okay, so we don't know,
we don't know. She's very much in Limbo is really a hard time
for her right now. But she's taking classes and stuff. Yeah, she's
taking She's in five classes right now at community college and she has to finish
them and do well in all of them, you know, but it's just
kind of a you know, and she's been at her job for over two
years now, it was two years in January. Wow, So and you
know, she's so upbeat of course always, but it's starting I think it's
starting to be like here's what I told her, it's starting to be like
more politics at work and more like they're kind of getting more strict where she
works. And you know, she's like, it's just not like as fun
as it anymore, and it's more of a drag. And I was I
thought, you know, maybe it's like God's way of being like, don't
get too comfortable with this, with working your minimum wage job in town,
you know what I mean. It's like it's like your higher spirits, the
universes, the universe's way of saying, like it's time for your next step,
so that it won't be as hard, you know, because she was
for a while, I was like, this is going to be interesting if
she's going to be able to happily move on because she's so happy with her
friends, like it was her main friend group. But you know, just
things shift around, you know, life shifts around, friendships kind of change,
and all of a sudden, she's just kind of feeling back to like
a little bit lonely and like missing all her friends that all went to school
and it's just a hard time. And also thinking about transferring is a little
scary for her because she just doesn't She's like me, we had we had
a whole talk about it. I was like, your thing is that you
once you're doing whatever you're doing, you're really into it, I said,
and you give it your all and you find the joy. You're very optimistic,
I said, but you do have the way. Her anxiety still is
in her is about the unknown. So anything she hasn't done before, she
has a lot of trepidation. It's hard for her to see that it's going
to be good, even you know what I mean, you can know mentally
that it will probably work out, but she doesn't feel that. So everything,
even the thing that she thought she wanted before you see Santa Barbara,
is like hard for her to imagine herself enjoying herself because there's so much like
I'm not going to know anybody. How So we have this talk the other
day because she was just seeming down and I was like, this is this
is what your process is always. I said, I'm so proud of the
fact that once you're doing anything, I said, I know you're going to
work through this fear and do the thing that you think you want to do
conceptually, right And I go, but right now, you're not going to
feel it and you're you're not going to feel excited. Yeah, it's not
going to because it's not you. You're gonna you have a lot of fear.
And she was nodding and a little tear, you know when you know
when you touched on something that they're thinking. I was like, but that's
so normal, and it's normal for you. I go, You're just not
that kid. That's like life's an adventure. Can't wait to like go forge
a new path? I go, you like to forge an old path,
like yes, you like to know the landscape, know who you're dealing with,
feel comfortable, and then try to work your way up or or like
once I said, so that's how it's going to be with college I go,
You're going to get in somewhere. There's going to be programs for other
transfer students where you can meet each other, and you're going to figure out
your housing. And once you have all that figured out and you've gone for
the first day and you know your way around, and then you're gonna be
like, oh, okay, I'm happy. Now, let me take some
Now, let me figure out what others you know, and then you're gonna
be super happy. But you will be. You have to just trust me.
Yes, But right now you're gonna feel scared, and you're gonna probably
you're instead of feeling, oh, I'm just really scared, she just feels
like unexcited, you know, I'm just like life sucks normal, but it
is. It's such a transition, and she's in such limbo right now.
She's at a job that she's not loving her all. Most of her closest
friends are at their schools, and even her friends that she has now are
gonna go They're all going to go their separate ways, and she doesn't know
where she's gonna go, so she can't even like start planning for like what's
the transfer program, like, like she can't do anything until she finds out
April. April. That's tough, I know, mm hmm, yeah it
is. It's such a like it's it's a tough time in their lives,
you know. Yeah, it's like so many different changes and the unknown and
how are they going to get to it to be able to do this and
blah blah blah. It's like it is, it's really tough. Like the
one nice thing about having an older kid who's now been through this is it
helps me appreciate that sophomore year is kind of a sweet spot. Like I'm
like, Sadie Xander, you guys enjoy the fact that the college pressure really
starts hitting junior year, you know, and then of course senior year is
terrible, but terrible, terrible college problem in America. But sophomore year,
I'm like, figure out stuff that you like to do and then and then
you're gonna have to like start a charity or like make yourself look really special.
But sophomore year you can kind of you don't, you know. They're
both really enjoying their friends and doing stuff all the time and socialized. And
sophomore year for LB was COVID. Yeah, she was home the whole year.
Yeah, we were remember we were bubble doing those bubbles. I was
letting elbe's socialist, but it kind of she was kind of socially handicapped that
year and sent her back. Yeah, you know, so I'm like,
enjoy the fuck out of being sophomores in high school. You're not no longer
freshman, so you don't have that nervousness of like everybody thinks we're the babies,
you know, but you're not being pressured about college. Oh yeah,
that is that's true. That is the sweet spot. Yeah. Yeah,
so I didn't. I don't think it was hot sophomore year. Obviously.
We were all like, what the hell just happened to our lives? Right,
You're all home, right, So I'm like, just enjoy yourself.
Just enjoy yourself. Yeah, yeah, I know, I was. Sunny
was telling me about this was a little different of what we're but like Sonny
was telling me about he was super watching Super Bowl with the same guys he
grew up with watching football with every Sunday, and at the end of the
game they all said bye, and one of the guys, like one of
the he used to work at Kimmel but now I don't know. He works
at a he works for some sports broadcast or whatever. And he was like
saying goodbye to him, and he's like and the guy said, well,
i'll see you next year, and sudden he goes, no, I won't
be here next year, like and sunny. It's like it hit him like
this is my last like super Bowl watching it with with these guys. You
know I'll be at school next year. M hmm. Yeah, it's really
it's really sad. Yeah, let's take a break. I like how sad
we were before we took a break, So let's take a break. Take
a break. By the way, I just want to tease for all you
Patreon subscribers out there, I got a crazy story to hear it for Patreon.
This is this is old school. I lost my mind, oh something.
I just don't want to put it on the regular show, just because
people that know me and love me will understand. And I don't want anybody
to be like, wow, she's really nice, but oh my god,
I lost your ship. I lost my shit. Ooh, like I lost
my shit, Like there was screaming and swearing. Anyway, you have to
hear the story. But yeah, I feel like I had something. Are
you guys watching the new Love Is Blind? Yes, Cecily and I are
are covering it. Okay, I haven't watched it yet. So I watched
the half of the first episode and I fell asleep, and I was like,
really, oh no, it's really really good. It does. Yeah,
a lot of people are saying they like it, but yeah, I
lost my phone from it. I wrote some notes that I was gonna of
some things I needed to talk to you about, and then my phone was
camouflaged because it's black on the couch and I was like, I should have
I'm gonna have to stop the show. Yeah, so you fell asleep episode
one? Yes, okay, so Cecily and I are covering it. We
did so, so me and Cecily and Patrick and Dylan did a collab.
It's up on both of our feeds. It's on our Rose Prick feeds,
and it's on bad TV, and we covered episode one. You have to
listen if you can get through the rest of episode one and then listen to
that collab because it's pretty funny. What's it funny? Kaylin? Kaylyn was
here. I wasn't really here for this episode. I had to run get
some equipment. I just came in at the tail end. But I did
some work for them for their next episode, the one that they covered afterwards.
And yeah, Dylan and Patrick are so They're so good at just recaf
on the It's so funny. And I listened to it. I listened to
their recap two and three. Yes, it was. It was really funny.
I'm so I don't know why love is blind as my jam. I
go crazy for it. I love it. It's so addictive. Yeah,
it get through the first episode because then you're gonna be like, oh wait,
I'm in. Yeah. Yeah, well I was in in the first
episode, but it was when I got back from Disneyland and I just passed
out. Yeah, fell asleep, but yeah, and then I forgot about
it. I was like, damn, I could have watched it last night
because I was like, yeah, I got nothing. No, I forgot
about it. But yeah, so I'm gonna I'm gonna finish watching. I'm
gonna watch it get caught up. I just hate that they only drop four
episodes every tires six. Now there's six. There's they dropped the first six.
Oh bro, you're gonna get your fill. Then they're gonna drop I
think three more this, two or three more yes, and then then I
mean they dropped multiple episodes and they're long because there's no ads because it's Netflix,
right right, Okay, it's pretty juicy. Oh I think I really
I will take that dude that was like, you know, left the girl
talking. Oh Matt, Yeah he's a psychopath, is he? Yeah?
It gets crazy with him too. Okay, like more will be revealed.
You need to you you need to watch it. I'm telling you you will
think me I'm going to and then you're gonna listen to podcasts about it.
You're gonna okay me to Okay, yeah, I got to work out today,
I promise. So Suzanne's ex husband is a trainer, okay, and
he had he lost a really close friend has passed away, and so he's
kind of been greeming and it was also one of his clients. So he's
got a little bit of time now and he lives so close to me,
and Susan's like, he lives really close to you. You guys, you
can go and work out in his building. He's got a gym in his
building. So she's like, you want to go on Monday? I was
like okay, but now it's like rainy. I just want to go home,
I know, and relax and watch Love Is Blind, I know,
but I know I'll feel better after I work out. This is my problem.
I will work out once and then be so happy with myself and like,
oh my god, look at me. I'm like a workout person again.
I didn't even fall that far behind. I kept up my level,
and then I won't work out for another two weeks. Like it's like won't
occur to me. I know, Like it's so hard to lock back into
an actual routine routine. Yeah you know what I mean, because it literally
won't occur to me. Like I will not think like, oh I have
to go to the gym tonight. I know, I forget about it.
Yeah, until I go out and eat a bunch of like really crap food
and then I'm like, oh god, like I'm not even eating healthy and
I don't go to the gym. I know what am I doing? I
know. I ate pan Express last week and I threw up what Yeah,
I got sick. Well, see I usually get it like earlier in the
day once I love it, like I get it. I love pandam Express.
I know, and I get it like early in the day. I
get the chowd mane and I get I get as your bass, that's my
bass. And then I get the the Kung Pou chicken h and licious peak
peak cape k ping pique, peaking beef, Okay peaking beef. Yeah,

just but I got it. Sorry. I got it late at night,
like Matt late, but I got it. Usually I get it early in
the day at lunchtime. But I got it like eight thirty nine o'clock at
night. And Olga's like it probably was sitting there all day and blah blah
blah. I don't I don't think so, but I know it was that
Like I just said that in an Olga voice. Yeah, I don't think
it just sat in my stomach when I went to bed, and then I
woke up in the middle of the night and I was just like throwing oh
maybe that is food poisoning. So what do you get, Kaitlin? I
get like the three order split between the fried rice chow mane and then the
orange chicken. I hadn't had it for a long time, and I went
there fairly recently and they had this new like shrimp, this kind of like
shech Wan shrimp. I think, okay, I'm gonna go for a four
order. So I got that too, and it was awesome. Yeah.
Maybe I've thrown some egg rolls in there too, ye, just for fun.

go like, yeah, it was not good on my stomach. It was
awesome. It's awesome. What do you get? I get? I just
get a base of white rice steamed I like, not not just because I
like it. I like steamed white rice. And then the mushroom chicken was
like mushrooms, zucchini and chicken. And sometimes I'll do uh and I'll usually
just do that, but sometimes I'll also do kung pow chicken. Yeah,
so I'll do kung pow and mushroom chicken and steamed rice. Nice. Yeah,
not for me anymore. Do you ever feel like adulting is really hard.
Sometimes I'm like, we eat so much takeout. I'm admitting this.
Don't start a Reddit thread about me and my shitty parenting. Okay, I'm
not in the mood. But sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm the parent.
Oh me again. I'm supposed to be the one that like figures out
what everybody's eating for dinner. Now. I understand that my kids are sixteen
and Elbie's nineteen, but I have not trained anybody in cooking because I'm not
a good cook. So it's not like anybody's like hung out in the kitchen
under my tutelage to learn how to make my famous anything. There's no famous
anything. When I die, I will not be passing down any recipes.
Yeah, there's no. They'll just be like, oh, you're turkey chili,
thanks mom. Like turkey chili is good. Turkey chili is good.
But everything that I make I've made a zillion times. And if I say,
like, hey, you guys want turkey chili tonight, they'll be like
okay. If you know, I have very few go to things these days.
Also, just like sometimes I make like Robin taught me how to make
these really good cuprazy sandwiches. I take this certain bread at Trader Joe's.
It's like this chibbata bread and then I use, you know, some olive
oil, some vinegar. I get the fresh basil tomato and the slice mazzarella
cheese and little salt and pepper. And my kids really love it, but
not like the eightieth time, Like they're like, so they sandwiches again,
so they want to do you know, take out mostly, And then I
just get to the point where I'm like, God, do we order so
much takeout? And that's my thing, is like Okay, what are we
going to get for takeout tonight? And then I go, God, what
kind of a mom of I Like every night is like, hey, what's
for dinner tonight? I don't know where do you guys want to order?
Like subway? I want your do you want Haanda? Yeah? It's like
terrible. Yeah, you know, we used to order like take out more.

with some recipes and do that and get them the ingredients because then it will
make it fun and I should do more Hello Fresh. Not that they're not
