52
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:23,480

So then, uh we just hung out.

53
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,319
That's nice. Yeah, we all
had We had a rousing conversation.

54
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,839
Robin's son is twenty and his name's
Jack now, yeah, and he had

55
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:41,480
a lot of opinions about that that
employers should not um should be allowed to

56
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,759
let people smoke in the workplace if
they want to. Oh, that reminds

57
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,360
me. Let me get my vate
go I ad it. So we were

58
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,439
arguing. We took this as a
debate, speech and debate. I know

59
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,639
he does speech, No, he
does debate. So but his debate was

60
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,959
basically just because that's how he feels
like. He just feels like freedom so

61
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,759
people can smoke in the workplace.
He feels like there are too many regulations

62
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,879
on like employers and if you want
to let people smoke at your place to

63
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,000
work, then you should. And
if somebody has a problem with it,

64
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,480
go get a different job. Yeah, I kind of with him. Yeah,

65
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800
there's a lot of regulator. Well, I don't know, I mean,

66
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,920
I don't know about in the workplace. Yeah, you're not gonna And

67
00:05:21,959 --> 00:05:27,000
are we talking about vaping here or
smoking cigarettes or both? Because smoking cigarettes

68
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,800
in an indoor Yeah, that's a
little can't do that, right, And

69
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:32,600
he thinks you should be able to. Oh, that's ridiculous. As Kaitlin,

70
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,800
you were young, I grew up
where I had the marketing department of

71
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,399
the company I worked for. She
was a smoker, and she smoked in

72
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:45,639
her office, but it didn't bother
anybody else. She just her office was

73
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,399
the smoking office. Why can't you
just go outside to have a cigarette?

74
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,480
Thank you? I agree? Yeah, Well, I hate smoking and I

75
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:55,079
don't like I don't like the smell
of it, and I don't want I

76
00:05:55,079 --> 00:05:57,560
don't want to breathe it in and
I don't want to have to like get

77
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:01,879
lung cancer because of somebody's say I
mean it, Yeah that's how I feel.

78
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:09,360
So yeah, or go outside,
go outside and smoke. In some

79
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,639
places you have to go down the
street. You can't smoke out. Oh

80
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,360
that's crazy. But but like it
as long as it's not endangering somebody else's

81
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,360
health, Like I don't think you
should be allowed to do things in your

82
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,959
workplace, right, But he felt
that that's just too much, like why

83
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,360
should you have to have a nonsense? I think I like the fact that

84
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:30,720
he has an opinion. I think
that's having opinions is great. Yeah,

85
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,519
it's just that when we were trying
to chat, so you know, John

86
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,279
was trying to challenge his opinion,
I was getting fired up too, and

87
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:40,920
then John was trying to, you
know, make it like political, and

88
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,519
he was just like, yeah,
I don't know. I'm out of this

89
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,399
argument. He's like, this is
how I feel. I don't know.

90
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:50,800
I'm going out and that person is
and John's coming up with well Rand Paul

91
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,920
and Ron Paul and I'm like,
now you lost me too. I don't

92
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:59,360
know who these both of Paul's.
Does he smoke her son? No,

93
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,839
he does like cigarettes either. Wow. He just believes in freedom. He's

94
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:09,680
like, you know, I like
where Mel Gibson jib Yeah, yeah,

95
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,879
No. That was super fun.
And then we went last night to go

96
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,439
see Um Patton Oswalt and Friends night. How was that? It was really

97
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:26,839

So she came home and she was
trying to rally herself. Yeah,

103
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:56,040
but you know, it's not fun
to like make somebody who's not feeling well,

104
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,279
Like it's like, all right,
I didn't know you have a headache,

00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,320
and the family's really nice, and
she's like the family's gonna go and

151
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,480
they they reserved two courts to go
play pickleball, and I was like,

152
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,919
okay, well, but first of
all, it wasn't my weekend to be

153
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,720
with the kids, right, So
Adam was there so and then they but

154
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,159
they wanted to go to dinner.
So we had a place like up the

155
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,519
street that we're going to eat dinner
at. Son Italia called the place and

156
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,159
she made reservations, but it wasn't
until like seven fifteen, and pickleball was

157
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,240
at two thirty, and I was
like, dude. And then I thought

158
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,879
Sonny wanted So I was like,
Sunny, what do you think And He's

159
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:39,960
like, uh, yeah, I
could go either way. I thought maybe

160
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,879
he wanted to go and play because
I know he likes the family. They

161
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:46,279
have older brothers and they're fun.
So I was like, I think the

162
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,919
I think both of them really want. So I was like, all right,

163
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,440
all right, so I'll pick you
guys up at two thirty and we'll

164
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,440
head on over to the pickleball court. Turns out Sonny didn't want to go,

165
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,000
So Sonny sat this one out.
Yeah. Oh so he just didn't

166
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,399
go at all, or he just
went and then just watched. No,

167
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,679
he didn't go. He was like, i'll see you at dinner. And

168
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,080
I was like, okay, So
I pick up Natalia. We go to

169
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,799
the pickle It's one hundred and eighty
degrees on the it was so hot and

170
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,000
it wasn't a hot day, but
it was hot where we were playing.

171
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,279
I mean it was the sun was
beaten down on my baseball hat, like

172
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,000
it was hot, and but I
didn't I've never played before. So Natalia

173
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,120
and I are going she's showing me
how to play. Meanwhile, they're already

174
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,440
playing with a couple other families.
I'm like, hi everybody, and so

175
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,960
Natalia shows me how to play,
then we play then So anyway, it

176
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,639
was we had fun and I got
the hang of it quick. Turns out

177
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240
I'm pretty good, and so I
was like, wow, mom, you're

178
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,759
good. Yeah, I'm out,
and uh, like, have you say

179
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:54,639
Barry's boot camp? Now, by
the way, she went to Barry's boot

180
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,200
camp early in the morning, at
seven thirty that morning, Yeah, with

181
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:03,279
her friend to live. You know
what I love is that this girl,

182
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:09,600
yeah, started out early in life
as a freaking annoying go getter. Are

183
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:11,919
what's next? Mom? Now?
What are we doing now? And it

184
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,240
drove you crazy? And now she
can get that, she can do that

185
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,200
herself. Yes, isn't it a
kind of cute how her personality didn't change

186
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,240
but the opportunities changed, right,
And it's just fine, Like, yes,

187
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:26,000
you you people with your young daughters
who are like, what what's next?

188
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:31,600
Westerday? I think forward and your
kid could be getting herself up exactly.

189
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:39,600
So so we so we played so
anyway, it was Natalia and her

190
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,159
friend and then me and her friend's
mom against the two of them. We

191
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:48,759
won, and then Natalia and I
played against her and her mom. We

192
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,039
lost by one, but we did
really good. And then I thought this

193
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,759
thing was gonna like drag out because
now it's like three thirty and they're like,

194
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,679
you know, they're they're like hanging
out by the court. They're like

195
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,799
about to drink champagne. And go
inside and like sit by the pool and

196
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,000
stuff, and I'm like, this
is gonna be a whole thing. Meanwhile,

197
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:09,360
I'm coming from the condo, so
I'm not really dressed. I don't

198
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,279
have my like tank top and shorts
at the condo. I'm wearing like black

199
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:20,840
sweatpants and a T shirt and I'm
dying faces beat sweating. Italia is like,

200
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:22,840
So we played the two games and
then Nali goes, are you okay,

201
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Mom? You're ready to go?
And I was like ready to go

202
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,360
home, and She's like, yeah, let's just go home and relax.

203
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,159
So she told Adam like, beat
it because mom needs. Mom's gonna come

204
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:39,720
over and relax in between the pickleball
and dinner. So he did, and

205
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,919
so I was like, oh,
thank god, so we didn't have to

206
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,440
hang out. So we went home. I walk into the bedroom and there's

207
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,639
this five by five by four I
don't know, it's like five feet by

208
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:56,200
four feet one of those area rugs, all rolled up with the plastic on

209
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,080
it, just sitting in the middle
of the bedroom. And I was like,

210
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,840
oh, okay, because I thought
Adam bought it for the bedroom because

211
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,039
we did need an area rug in
our bedroom. Because Phil puked on it

212
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,799
so many times it was ruined.
Okay, so we needed a little area

213
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:15,600
rug for the bedroom and I was
like, okay. Then I walked by

214
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:18,360
and I look at it and there's
like chicken scrat there's a note like a

215
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,159
like a paper notebook paper tore out
with like writing on it. And I

216
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,360
was like, that looks like Sonny's
writing. I looked down and says,

217
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:31,200
Happy Mother's Day. Mom Oh,
I got me an area rug from my

218
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:35,799
bedroom. He went, He walked
to Target and then walked home with it

219
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,039
on his shoulder. Oh my god. Oh cute. And he's like,

220
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,159
I think this might tie nicely with
your bedroom. Hopefully you can read this

221
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,080
writing, because I know my writing's
bad. He said, love you,

222
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:50,159
Happy Mother's Day. And I was
like, ah, Sonny, thank you.

223
00:15:52,039 --> 00:15:54,559
I've me a carpet. I love
it. I know, I know.

224
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,879
So um, let's let's say I'm
gonna tell you to get you anything.

225
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,120
I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you some more.

226
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,759
But let's let's talk about one of
our favorite things, Thrive Cosmetics, which

227
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,840
we love and one of the things
that we love about Thrive Cosmetics cause is

228
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:18,159
the keyword because as part of their
mission, every purchase supports organizations that help

229
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,080
communities thrive, such as those battling
domestic abuse, homelessness, cancer, and

230
00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:29,320
more. That's they contribute to those
causes, which you love, and that's

231
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,679
why it's called cosmetics. But the
reason why it's so popular is because it's

232
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:41,120
fabulous. We especially are obsessed with
their mascara. They love with lash extensions

233
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,080
mascara. It looks like you are
wearing fake lashes. It looks like you

234
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,240
took the time to get fake lashes
and glue them on perfectly, but they're

235
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:52,600
not fake, that's right. And
it's super easy to get off. You

236
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:59,559
just use warm water and a washcloth
and it just the little tubes slide right

237
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,320
off of yours right off. Yep, no rout, no more about raccoon

238
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,799
I I love. That's my favorite
part. We love their liquid lash mass

239
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,440
extension mascara and you guys should try
it. Let us know what you guys

245
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Absolutely yes, all right, So
then what happened? So then we

246
00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:48,519
went out, so I loved my
carpet I got from Sonny. We chilled

247
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,920
for a little while, took a
shower, relaxed, took Phil for a

248
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,880
walk. Phil's a pain in the
ass, by the way. I take

249
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,400
this guy for a walk and it's
he goes like a block up the street.

250
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,839
There's a house that has like tall
grass, and he just lays down

251
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,279
in it and then he just I
should have taken it. He was like

252
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,920
rolling, almost rolling off the curb
into the street because he's like rubbing his

253
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,519
back on the grass. And I'm
like, all right, Like, as

254
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:15,839
I sit there for a few minutes, I'm on the phone, I'm talking,

255
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,559
I'm like, okay, come on, Phil, let's go. Let's

256
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:21,759
go. Trying to pull him.
He doesn't go. Cars are driving by

257
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,160
laughing, laughing at me because the
dog is just this black lab one hundred

258
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,480
pounds, just laying in the grass. So anyway, took him for a

259
00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:33,279
walk. Then I took them to
dinner at our favorite little restaurant up the

260
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:40,160
street and fill the dinner. Took
Phil, Sunny, Natalia, the three

261
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,039
of us and what was the restaurant
food? It was They have like salmon

262
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:52,440
and like fried chicken and burgers and
Sonny got tacos sheet her and I split

263
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,119
split um, Like, uh,
what do you call it? It's not

264
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:02,599
ribs. It's a short ribs with
Pato's really good split a salad and mashed

265
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:07,079
potatoes short ribs. And then of
course they each get their lava cake dessert.

266
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,440
And it was really nice. We
had a We had a good time

267
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:15,359
at dinner. Sonny told us that
on Saturday, the day before, he

268
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:23,799
walked from our house in Lakenyata to
the Americana in Glendale. Wow, fourteen

269
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:30,000
miles? What he walked thirteen miles, Yes, two and a half hours

270
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:33,519
to get there, eats the in
and out Burger when he gets there,

271
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,359
walks around for a little bit,
and then walked back. Oh my god,

272
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:42,279
I know, thirteen miles this kid
walked on Saturday. He's never gonna

273
00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:47,079

275
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:56,519
Yeah. And he's like, yeah, he's already talking to his dad

276
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:00,400
about a budget for what his cars. Sonny doesn't care a shit if what

277
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,240
kind of car he drives, he
doesn't care. But um yeah, he's

278
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,200
uh, he's he's he loves to

00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,440
and then after it was so much
like they and they ate everything. They

Yeah? Yeah, Well her best friend

298
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,880
does not like to work out,
but her other friends do. So whoever

299
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,240
goes wants it, you know,
they'll take her but or me. Yeah.

300
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:32,039
So yeah, not at seven in
the morning. No, not at

301
00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:36,960
seven. I'd be like just uber, yeah that just go run around in

302
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,440
the backyard by the way, like
but um, she loves it. But

303
00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:45,759
yeah, So that that was my
mother's Day. Super fun, Kaylin,

304
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,079
Yeah what did you do? That
was Amy's Mother's Day. It was very

305
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,680
relaxed. She didn't really want to
do anything. She's like, I want

306
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,400
to do nothing, and I was
like, okay, so I want to

307
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,920
play pickleball. She didn't want to
play pickleball. Now. She was like,

308
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,440
oh maybe brunch and we were both
like it's there's no way we're gonna

309
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,480
be like waiting an hour with the
kids brunch, So that just wasn't gonna

310
00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:07,240
work. So um, yeah,
she just we just hang out at home.

311
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,359
She slept in, I made her
breakfast what she likes, and then

312
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,799
I just kind of hung out all
day and went to go get her take

313
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:18,119
out her favorite like salad that she's
always wanting. So I went and got

314
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:23,440
her that for dinner. That's nice. Yeah yeah, well I mean did

315
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,960
the kids really spoil her? Yeah? Yeah, the kids by not crying,

316
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:33,240
No, they most certainly cried and
followed her around and pestered her.

317
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:38,079
And yeah, yeah, yeah,
I remember. So it feels so long

318
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:44,279
ago. I mean, my twins
are almost sixteen. Mother's Day anymore.

319
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,839
Now that my kids are old,
I know, it's like you have this

320
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:52,160
sweet spot when they're I don't even
know when that sweet spot is really because

321
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,599
at no point can they go off
on their own and buy you stuff.

322
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,799
I guess now they can once they
well, I guess now they can.

323
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,839
And so I mean I got something. Yeah, but it's like it's not

324
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,559
really about that. It's more like
when you when they're young, they're too

325
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:08,640
young to really appreciate its Mother's Day. They don't give a fuck. They're

326
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,240
just like, what have you done
for me? Exactly? It's like,

327
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,720
well, bitch, I just did
something for you this morning. Like my

328
00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:19,359
life does not slow down for a
Mother's Day and never has. Like I

329
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,440
mean, John, believe me,
John is like it's Mother's Day, like

330
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:25,200
you what do you? What do
you want me to get? Let me

331
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,960
go get you breakfast? You know. But it's like, but you know

332
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:30,599
me, I'm such a creature of
habit. I want I set my coffee

333
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,000
the night before. I want my
coffee the way I want it. I

334
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:38,200
don't want I'm the weirdo that doesn't
drink like Starbucks. I like my vanilla.

335
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,960
I like my brood flavored coffee.
I do the same thing every day.

336
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,680
I said it. Every night.
I have a small amount because,

337
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,200
as I told you, I can
only handle these little mini cups of coffee.

338
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,359
Otherwise I just go get the shakes. So I need everything to be

339
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,759
the way I like it. And
I want my oatmeal or I want my

340
00:23:56,839 --> 00:24:00,559
vis or you know. Yeah.
I mean we were going to brunch,

341
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,680
so that was fun and different,
and then nobody had to do anything.

342
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,960
But I still got up, drank
my coffee, walk the dog like I

343
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:11,640
did a little longer. And by
the way, Robin, who has Brudge,

344
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,079
I'm sure she's the one that put
out the spread, went and got

345
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:21,079
everything. Yeah everything, yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah. That's the way

346
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,839
it goes. Like and then all
of a sudden they're older and then they're

347
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,839
like whatever, out of the house
or doing their own things, and they're

348
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,559
not their whole day doesn't stop down
because it's Mother's Day, but nor should

349
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:34,359
it. I don't know, I
don't like am I alone and just not

350
00:24:34,519 --> 00:24:41,200
really liking forced celebration. I don't
like my birthday I have, as you

351
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,119
know, I've said this many times, and I know this offends some people.

352
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,720
This is just how I feel.
I do not like like, hey,

353
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,799
it's my special day and everybody's got
to be nice to me and wish

354
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:53,680
me a happy birthday and like do
nice things for like, you know,

355
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:59,759
like that. I think that we're
traumatized from those people. Like when I

356
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480
worked at ABC, that was like
it's my birthday week, you know,

357
00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,519
and I was like, everybody's got
to decorate her a little cubicle and then

358
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:12,160
we're gonna like surprise or with cake
at five o'clock, and it's like it's

359
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,119
like you get an askful of that, and it's like, yeah, you

360
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,519
know, it's it shouldn't be forced, that's for sure. And also,

361
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,160
and you know, I know I've
said this many times before, but at

362
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:27,359
a certain point, everybody has a
birthday. It's not that special. And

363
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:33,359
I know, now I'm gonna sound
like Adam right, it's you didn't do

364
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,279
anything that we're celebrating. You were
just born on a certain day. And

365
00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:41,079
now every year, everybody and then
it's like every time you turn around,

366
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,599
it's somebody else's birthday, and I
get this feeling in my stomach when I'm

367
00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:47,000
like, Okay, who's the next
birthday in our family? Yeah, because

368
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,599
I already feel like I have to
start planning. And by the way,

369
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:53,119
it's the same thing with the holidays, like it is hard to enjoy because

370
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,519
I feel a pressure every year that
I feel like, oh my god,

371
00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:00,920
I have to make the holidays special
and everybody what I'm gonna get? Everybody?

372
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,519
Everybody got enough presents? It does
it even? And then I don't

373
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:08,720
want people buying me things with my
own money, do you know what I

374
00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:12,599
mean? Like when you're a couple
and you're getting Christmas gifts, it's like

375
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,799
that's a John is very sentimental and
he really likes gift giving and that's that's

376
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,880
nice. But as the kids say, like, gift giving is not my

377
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,599
love language, right, yeah,
that's true. I don't know what is

378
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,200
my love language? What is your
love language? The fuck is a love

379
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,039
life? I don't know. Maybe
quality time, yeah, acts of service

380
00:26:34,279 --> 00:26:37,440
that like I don't mind, Like
if John, you know what I love.

381
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,000
What makes me feel appreciated is like
if I'm not feeling well and John

382
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:45,519
goes, don't get up, I
let me walk, I walk the dog.

383
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,960
I'll take the kids to school without
me having to say like, oh

384
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,880
I really don't feel wells or any
way you could possibly see your way clear

385
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,640
to walking the dog. And I
feel like I have to do that because

386
00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:02,279
I don't know. Maybe it's one
of those things where like, well,

387
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,599
nobody can read your mind. Like, but I feel like, now this

388
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,279
is getting into a rant about I
feel like I do a lot of things

389
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:15,240
without being asked just because I've gotten
used to getting those things done. Well,

390
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,519
that's the default parent, default parent. Yeah, but also you're in

391
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:23,400
tuned. You know, you're more
in tuned with the kids and their needs

392
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:29,599
and what everybody needs the dog,
the kids, everything. So you'd think

393
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:33,359
then, like on my birthday,
I'd be like, Yay, everybody's going

394
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,759
to celebrate me. Today's my birthday. But instead I don't feel that way.

395
00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:38,359
I feel like, oh, I
don't want everybody to feel like,

396
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,720
oh, it's mom's birthday. Come
on, let's celebrate, you know.

397
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:45,880
But even though the kids want to, but I just would rather, which

398
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,799
I have kind of trained everybody.
I want to go out to a restaurant

399
00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:55,240
that I like, like Benny Hannah. I'm very like white trashy, go

400
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,200
get my like colossal shrimp on the
grill, you know. So let when

401
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,000
you let me ask you about Benny
Hanna, do you do you mind Do

402
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:07,960
you mind sitting at the table with
other people? No, because we always

403
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,119
make John sit closer closer to the
strangers. Yes, and he almost always

404
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,480
makes some conversation that see, that's
good. The last time we were at

405
00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:21,960
Benny Hanna, there was a couple
there and they looked so high and it

406
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:26,119
was hilarious because they were both so
glassy eyed and like kind of laughing and

407
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,640
like ordered a lot of food and
we were all just like, oh my

408
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:36,720
gosh, to those people they're gonna
love their fried rice so much. Yes,

409
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:38,799
yes, this is gonna be like
the best fried rice they've ever did.

410
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,519
I think the girl hadn't even been
there before. But it was hilarious

411
00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:47,440
watching them. But then don't they
like they give it everything to you at

412
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,440
portions instead of all at once,
Like yeah, they give you or they

413
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,640
do it, and they make the
next thing and then they give that to

414
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,440
your right, they bring out soup
and salad. Then they do like a

415
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:03,839
little shrimp appetized her for everybody.
Then they do a little vegetable appetizer,

416
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,640
so it's zucchini, would you like
zucchini? And uh onions? And I

417
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,880
always say, can I just have
the zucchini? And then Elbie gives me

418
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,119
her zucchini, and I say,
give her the onions. We have a

419
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,519
whole thing. It's a whole thing, right, that's the only part of

420
00:29:18,519 --> 00:29:22,759
the birthday, Like I like that
part, Like yeah, but then again,

421
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,440
we go out to eat all the
time. Yeah, that's not really

422
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,920
that special eat you know what I
mean? Yeah, I just don't listen.

423
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,880
I can't be bothered to like go
look on my Facebook and see whose

424
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,880
birthday it is every day and wish
them a happy birthday. Fuck off,

425
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:44,279
Like, Lyssies, you're old,
you know, yeah, have the person

426
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:47,319
closest to you should wish you a
happy birthday and be like and then that's

427
00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:49,000
it. Then move on with your
day. You shouldn't be in Jimmy Kimmel's

428
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:56,079
family because everybody's got it's like every
I follow the aunt friends, I follow

429
00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,200
all the cousins, and every day
it's somebody's birthday. It's either like their

430
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,640
half birthday or their full bed birthday. An it's the kid, right,

431
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,960
it's the kids. It's this,
it's this Uncle Frank's birthday. It's all

432
00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:12,960
and they make a big deal.
They have this big family get togethers,

433
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:18,960
and it's just poor Melissa too.
I had um last week. Melissa and

434
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,440
Susanne come over. They I haven't
seen Melissa in a long time. Today

00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,559
Susanne's birthday. Actually, oh happy
birthday. Yeah. And she just came

436
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:32,240
back from Sune. She just came
back from Spain with her boyfriend. She

437
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:36,160
saw Bruce and Barcelona. Wow,
she had a nice little vacation with her

438
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,400
boyfriend. And I said, what
do you want to do for you?

439
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,240
She was like nothing. I was
like, oh, oh, I love

440
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:42,640
her, love I know. She's
like, I don't want to do anything.

441
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,599
I go, don't you just want
maybe go to dinner? No?

442
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:48,440
No, no, And I said, well, you know, Melissa's coming

443
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,640
over on Tuesday next week. Do
you want to come over? And she's

444
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,079
like, okay, I'll do that. I'll come over. And so Melissa

445
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,160
brings pekito moss, you know,
because she's she's she's been conditioned and that

446
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,319
it's somebody's birthday. I gotta do
shit right. And I'm like, Melissa,

447
00:31:03,319 --> 00:31:03,880
I could have ordered a pizza.
She's like, no, no,

448
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,920
no, I got it. She
brings over pequitomt. She brings over bottles

449
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,920
champagne, like to celebrate Suzanne's birthday. No, I don't mind that.

450
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,519
Yeah, that was nice. I
like to. Okay, so I take

451
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:18,119
it back like I like to.
I have my little group of mom friends

452
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:22,240
and we always go to dinner for
whoever's birthday is, and that's kind of

453
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:25,920
fun. And then we'll bring each
other a little like even though we all

454
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,799
say no gifts, but we all
bring each other a gift anyway. But

455
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,440
it's small stuff. And I think
the difference is that everybody really likes doing

456
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,240
it. It's like an excuse for
us to and there's like a kind of

457
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,039
a big group of us. There's
probably like eight of us at this point.

458
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,960
And we just went out for somebody's
birthday recently. Oh, my friend

459
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:48,920
Cecily, who's Elbie's friends. The
daughter Eva is one of Elbie's closest friends,

460
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,240
and the mom is a really good
friend of mine, and then we

461
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:55,480
went out for her birthday. But
I think the thing is that all of

462
00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:57,960
us moms are very low key about
our birthday. Yes, and nobody's like,

463
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,079
hey, if you can't make it, like it is not a big

464
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:04,400
deal, yea, Like everybody's like
that, like listen, if you were,

465
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:06,720
if you have anything else to do, don't worry about it. And

466
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,799
there's always enough people that can go
and right, and then we just order

467
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:13,160
food and we don't let that person
pay. That's that's about. You don't

468
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,759
really get stuck with a huge bill
because it's a right more, you know

469
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:19,400
what I mean. Yeah, yeah, now we will look forward to that

470
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,960
too, like those kinds of things
where you're away from the family, right,

471
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Yes, that's the fun part,
you know. I think it's that

472
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:31,160
I don't want I remember being a
kid. This might be kind of what

473
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,279
it's about. When I was a
kid, I feel like I felt a

474
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:38,559
pressure to do something for like my
mom or step dad, even when I

475
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:43,039
wasn't getting along with them. It
was kind of a thing of like you

476
00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:46,359
were selfish, like if you didn't
make a big deal or buy a gift

477
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:50,599
or you know, remember their birthday
all the time. Like, I don't

478
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:52,960
like it, you know, that's
what I don't like it when people feel

479
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:57,880
let down, right if you don't
remember their birthday or if you don't make

480
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,319
a big deal about their birthday.
And I never want anybody to feel like

481
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:07,279
I'm gonna be oh disappointed and like, wow, you didn't really rill all

482
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:09,039
out for my birthday, right right. I don't want anyone to have that

483
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:13,279
feel of course, No, that's
the problem. It's the pressure. And

484
00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:16,440
I think the thing about going out
with our girlfriends too. It's like we

485
00:33:16,519 --> 00:33:20,680
get to get out and we don't
have to worry about anybody else. But

486
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:24,119
are you know, just just focusing
on just a chill, nice, relaxing

487
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,640
dinner and not have to, you
know, put that pressure. Everybody expects

488
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,880
the same, like no presents,
no whatever's gonna enjoy This is for us.

489
00:33:34,359 --> 00:33:37,839
It's not just for the birthday girl, it's us getting a night out

490
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:43,440
or whatever that's gonna yeah, yeah
yeah. And then like if you the

491
00:33:43,519 --> 00:33:45,559
friends that do like a little birthday
present, it's they don't. They're not

492
00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:50,440
expecting anything grand. It's just like
we get each other like a little We

493
00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:53,119
all have a store that we really
like. It's called Soto. I don't

494
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:55,920
know if you've heard of the store. They sound like really cute, like

495
00:33:57,319 --> 00:34:01,599
jewelry items and like what's a catchie
s O t O. Really yeah,

496
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,359
it's really cute. They have a
lot of really cute, gifty stuff.

497
00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:08,360
And all the women in my like
mom group love that store. So we

498
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,880
all just go to that store and
get something from there and give it to

499
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,440
each other or Cecily always says no
gifts, but she likes wants you to

500
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,639
donate to a charity. I like, so for her birthday that just passed,

501
00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:27,559
I donated to the ACLU Drag Defense
Fund. I love that. That's

502
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,760
nice. Yeah that's a good idea. Yeah, that's it. And then

503
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,119
I got her some vintage candy,
you know old. So I went to

504
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,360
Lolly and Pops and got her some
you know, an astro pop and pop

505
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:45,000
rocks and charms and a candy necklace
and like, you know stuff. True,

506
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:49,719
that's a great idea, idea.
Yeah, that's a good idea.

507
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,679
That's what I would get you for
your birthday. See I get I got

508
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:53,800
it for her because it was to
be something I would like. Right,

509
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,800
that's awesome. Yeah. One of
my friends, I've gotten people a bunch

510
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,079
of lottery tickets. Another gifts a
great idea. That's a great idea.

511
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,760
In fact, Tony Barbieri, who's
a writer on Jimmy Guy, we share

512
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,000
the same birthday and we went camping
all of us one year, and he

513
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:15,880
got me lottery tickets, and then
the next day I like scratched him off

514
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:23,360
and I won like over a million
dollars and I was like yes, And

515
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,280
I was like, oh, oh
my god, you guys, wait a

516
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,920
second. I'm I won. I
won. I totally fell for it.

517
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,800
And Tony was like, let me
see, let me see, Lonette,

518
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,400
let me see. Oh my god, you totally Oh my god, Like

519
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:39,119
all of them were like oh.
And then they all started, one by

520
00:35:39,199 --> 00:35:43,880
lue laughing and looking at like videotaping
me, and I was like, god

521
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,039
fucking kidding me, assholes. I
didn't even know fake lottery tickets existed.

522
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,119
Oh my god, that is the
best story because I've given those lottery tickets

523
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:58,800
out before. You. You can
buy them at Spencer's Gifts. If anybody

524
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,679
is listening to this, you can
buy them at the at those stores that

525
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,760
sell like little joke, right Franks, right, yeah, and they have

526
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,239
those winning lotteries. It looked real
because I got a bunch and I was

527
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,599
like, this is no good.
This is no good. Then I was

528
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:16,000
like, what holy fuck, happy
birthday to me, which is like I

529
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:20,000
totally thought. It went on for
like a half an hour. I was

530
00:36:20,039 --> 00:36:22,800
like, oh my god, I'm
buying it. We all let's all go

531
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,360
on vacation. Oh my god,
what a let down. Yeah that is

532
00:36:28,599 --> 00:36:30,880
terrible. I forgot all about it
until just now. Yeah, that is

533
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:37,880
terrible lottery tickets. You know what's
not terrible? No? What microdose?

534
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:42,599
Okay, we have a new sponsor. It's called Loomy Labs. We teased

535
00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:45,880
it before. I think last week
we used it. I've been I've been

536
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:50,320
working with this sponsor on rose Pricks
already, so I can already attest to

537
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,400
how great this product is. So
it's microdosing THHC and we talk a lot

538
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,639
about microdosing in general and the benefits
of it, and so they have a

539
00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:02,639
couple of different products. One is
like a true microdose, So if you

540
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,199
take like one of these, you
won't get high, an actual high,

541
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:13,920
but you will get like kind of
a serene feeling. So John has been

542
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,840
struggling with a little bit of kind
of background anxiety. So he's been trying,

543
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,079
as you guys all know, he's
been trying microdosing like different things.

544
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:27,199
So I got him started on the
Loomi Labs and he was like, you

545
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,760
know what's so great because John doesn't
want to feel high right at all.

546
00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:35,480
So he took the smallest dose and
he was like all I felt was like

547
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,280
the background anxiety kind of lifted and
I just felt kind of calm and like,

548
00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:45,039
oh, more creative. And also
he said it really helps with writing.

549
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,840
Yes, gets rid of kind of
that background like critical voice and he

550
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,840
can just kind of focus in and
more clearly. I love you do the

551
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,679
microdose. You can go to the
gym. It helps with um what do

552
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,800
you call it? Like when you
go to the gym and then you your

553
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:07,320
muscles repair the next day, like
oh, you swore muscles. Yeah,

554
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,880
like helps you kind of bounce back
from that. And you said Amy's been

555
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,000
using it to sleep, right,
Yeah, yeah, she's not the best

556
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,000
sleeper. So yeah, when we
got it, she's like, oh,

557
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:17,960
I'm going to try that for you
know, nighttime. And she took one

558
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,440
and yeah, she didn't say like
oh this, I got really high and

559
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,159
then fell asleep. It was just
like, oh, yeah, she just

560
00:38:23,159 --> 00:38:27,039
got a full night's sleep. I
just got him in the mail. I'm

561
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:30,159
going to try him. I can't
wait. Yeah, And they have if

562
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:31,639
you want. They have a couple
of different products. Like I said,

563
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:37,000
they have um indica. They have
one that's real TC and they have a

564
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:43,239
higher dose. They will give you
the THHC effect, but like I said,

565
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,519
they also have the micro dose and
then you can take one or two

566
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,719
or even three. So for people
that have not done this before they don't

567
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,280
want to like feel high, there's
all different ways to try it. I

568
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,639
think it's a great product. I
can't wait. John swears by it.

569
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,480
He was so excited that this show
started doing it because we got another pack

570
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,559
female and he was like, school
oh yeah, yeah, And I've told

571
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:10,079
some other people when I was doing
it, for the other show and they

572
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:15,800
tried it and they love it.

00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:15,760
that's really fun, like because it's
nice. I go to my meeting and

584

then you get to like you take
a cake, right, it's not a

585
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,599
real cake, but it's symbolic,
and then we all go to lunch afterwards

586
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:25,440
and like people bring you flowers,
and to me, that's more of like

587
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:30,440
an achievement. Yeah, that's your
achieve I'm gonna have been fourteen years sober.

Wow, that's awesome. That's crazy. That's crazy. I think I

589
00:40:34,559 --> 00:40:37,199
was like two years sober when I
met you. Yeah, that's insane.

590
00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:44,480
Yeah, I was all baby.
I was also a little sober baby,

591
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:52,239
I'm a little wobbly sober leg that's
awesome. That's nice. Um. Well,

592
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,280
one of the things I wanted to
tell you about, so Sonny,

593
00:40:55,480 --> 00:41:00,199
I don't know if I told you
last week that Sunny was feeling like that

594
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:05,440
he was having like a like a
bladder infection or something. Oh no,

595
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,760
like a uti. Well, first
of all, this kid peas all the

596
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,320
time, like when we're watching a
movie post I got to the bathroom post.

597
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,519
I gotta be positive. He peas
a lot. But in the last

598
00:41:16,559 --> 00:41:22,039
couple of weeks, two weeks,
I think he was telling me now is

599
00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:25,039
at the condo when he was telling
me this, that it's now gotten the

600
00:41:25,039 --> 00:41:29,440
point where he has to pee all
the time, and he's he's describing what

601
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,920
a UTI is, you know,
like he peas, nothing comes out and

602
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,159
then it like hurts, it's kinda
sore. I'm like a boy with a

603
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,440
uti. Yeah, they can get
him, that's what I so. I

604
00:41:38,519 --> 00:41:43,119
was like, okay, it sounds
like you have this. I you know,

605
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,679
I'd like to take you to the
There's an urgent care right up the

606
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:51,480
street. So um, I couldn't
take him, so Olga took him and

607
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,519
he went. And then Olga never
she never called me after to tell me,

608
00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:00,559
but she sent me caught like pictures
of the paper work. So then

609
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:04,920
I'm looking at these. So it
was the night that that Melissa and Suzanne

610
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,840
came over, So in my mind, I think, okay, he's okay.

611
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,519
I didn't I haven't heard anything whatever. So then they leave and I'm

612
00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:14,079
about to go to bed. It's
like twelve o'clock and I look at her

613
00:42:14,119 --> 00:42:20,199
text and it says, um,
it says hypoglycemia if you have that,

614
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,679
and then it says diabetes. What
yes, So I was like, what

615
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:30,760
the fuck? Then I look at
his urine sample and he had trace amounts

616
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:37,159
of glucose in his urine, and
I guess that's why they included like diabetes

617
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:40,280
and stuff and the paperwork. So
I was like, what the fuck?

618
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:43,920
So I asked So then I asked
Olga and she was like, yeah,

619
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,639
I don't she's like that. They
they did the they gave him the antibiotic,

620
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,159
so he did have a uti.
They did that. He did have,

621
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,559
you know, in like a bacterial
infection that gave him the the antibiotic.

622
00:42:55,159 --> 00:43:00,400
But they said, follow up with
your pediatrician because of the trace amounts

623
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:06,559
of glucos. Okay, it's urine. So so I took him to the

624
00:43:06,599 --> 00:43:10,119
next day. The next morning,
I took him to the pediatrician and they

625
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:15,199
did the same They did the urine
test, They did the finger prick and

626
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:20,719
they said they're his glucos was fine. Oh, they said the level was

627
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,920
ninety six, but she nick so
then immediately I'm googling, like what's the

628
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:30,880
normal and it says like seventy to
one hundred, but ninety six sounds kind

629
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,199
of high to me. But they
didn't think that was high. They said

630
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:37,079
it was normal. And why did
they say that he tested high at the

631
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:42,360
They don't know. So they're doing
it so I'm supposed to get the real

632
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,119
test results back like today or tom
I haven't gotten anything of the blood test.

633
00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:49,760
So that was just like the P
test, yes, yeah, oh

634
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,280
yeah, but he had any other
symptoms? Is he thirsty all the time?

635
00:43:52,639 --> 00:43:58,719
That's what she said. That's what
she said. But that you know,

636
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,320
yeah doctor wright stuff. Yeah,
just my doctor's stuff. Right,

637
00:44:02,679 --> 00:44:06,639
maybe you can like help me out. I'm helping right now. Give me,

638
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,480
give me symptoms. So she asked, is he getting up at night

639
00:44:09,559 --> 00:44:14,280
like drinking a lot and being a
lot? No, not really, like

640
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,280
not anything that out of the norm, Like sometimes he wakes up thirsty and

641
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:22,800
he drinks and whatever, but there's
he doesn't really have to wake up in

642
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,440
the middle of the night to drink
or pea or anything. Because she said,

643
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:28,880
that's kind of a sign. But
there's no diabetes in my side of

644
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,320
the family, and not that I
know of on Adam side of the family.

645
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:36,519
Yeah, me neither. The hereditary
I don't know. I don't know

646
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:40,519
anything about diabetes. But the pediatrician's
office felt like, don't worry about it.

647
00:44:40,639 --> 00:44:45,000
He's fine. Well she's yeah,
she didn't say. She just said,

648
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,920
well, we're doing we'll do a
bunch of tests and we'll call you

649
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,760
and let you know next week.
So a bunch of tests on the blood

650
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,920
that they are the boding and the
urine. Yeah, okay, but from

651
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,079
what they saw immediately, there was
no more. There was no glucose in

652
00:44:57,199 --> 00:45:01,760
his urine. I guess on that
day he fasted. The other day when

653
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,719
he went to the ear, you
know, he didn't. So I don't

654
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,320
know if that makes a difference.
I don't know. It probably does,

655
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:15,320
yeah, if you're fast, Yeah, I mean things like that can test

656
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:21,599
can be funky. John has always
every time he has a physical almost oh

657
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,960
well, not every time, but
a few different times, he had a

658
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:29,440
little bit of blood in his urine, which is called a he materia or

659
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,519
something. I should know this,
but again, med schools will kind of

660
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:37,239
a while ago. Yeah, I
have to refresh um. But he's had

661
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:42,719
to have some scary tests. I
remember, yeah, because they're like that's

662
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,440
a bad thing, that can mean
bad, bad stuff. Tech. The

663
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:53,679
technical term is is concern hit.
You know, yeah, the technical term

664
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:59,880
is concerning. So he had to
have like at one point um like a

665
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:07,480
CT scan and oh my god,
I just remember this story. So one

666
00:46:07,519 --> 00:46:10,360
time John had gone they had said, okay, this is kind of an

667
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:15,760
emergency. They had found blood in
his urine and they said they felt like

668
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,679
it could be cancer. And because
but they didn't say they weren't like,

669
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,760
oh it's we have to but but
they were like one of the causes could

670
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,199
be cancer. You need to go
get this checked out. They made him

671
00:46:28,199 --> 00:46:32,639
an appointment like right away. Now
I had LB and I remember I had

672
00:46:32,639 --> 00:46:40,079
this neighbor who was such a bit
Are you hearing like static when I talked?

673
00:46:40,119 --> 00:46:44,880
It's kind of like right afterwards,
I can almost hear it something with

674
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:50,280
my headphones. Okay, So this
woman, this woman named Sharon, I

675
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,760
shouldn't have even said her. Who
cares, I don't. I don't even

676
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,639
remember her last name. She was
my neighbor. She was my neighbor.

677
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,239
Um. She was married to a
rabbi and he was kind of a nightmare.

678
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,039
Oh my god, I haven't.
I must have told you this story

679
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:07,679
around the time that it happened.
No, because so Elbie was like a

680
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,559
baby, and these people had a
baby. Elbie was a little bit older

681
00:47:10,559 --> 00:47:15,039
than their kid, and they were
these crazy people, and so they were

682
00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:17,119
they tried to poach my babysitter.
Did I ever tell you that story?

683
00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:22,519
Okay, So we had this babysitter
named Andrea, and they and this woman

684
00:47:22,599 --> 00:47:27,440
was one of those like a Missus
Kravitz, like super nosy and like always

685
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,119
wanting to know, like what you're
up to. And so she wanted to

686
00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:35,199
know if she could borrow my babysitter. Went. So my babysitter, who

687
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,559
was so sweet, she was my
first babysitter ever, went over to their

688
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:43,280
house. She so this, this
woman says, hey, we need the

689
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,199
babysitter because my husband. I can't
remember why, but it was having some

690
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:52,079
kind of family emergency. Now I
needed my babysitter too. But I was

691
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:54,519
like, Okay, go ahead,
you know she can, she can go

692
00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:58,719
to your house. This was like
my everyday babysitter would come over while I

693
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,599
was writing. Anyway, So she
goes over to their house and she told

694
00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:07,400
me that the dad that her husband
was just in his room, like laying

695
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:13,920
on his bed, like watching TV, hanging out and he wasn't supposed to

696
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,440
be home or whatever. And she
was like, basically, there was no

697
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:21,960
emergency, like he was just hanging
out, you know. So okay,

698
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:28,280
there was that. So then another
time, like right around the same time,

699
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,519
she really wanted Andrea to come over, and I was like, fuck

700
00:48:31,559 --> 00:48:35,199
this bitch, like, you're not
having any kind of an emergency. You

701
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,199
don't need my babysitter, and I
need her. So I was like,

702
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:43,159
oh, I can't remember what the
situation was, but I said something like

703
00:48:43,199 --> 00:48:46,079
she's not available or something. She
comes to my house at like eight in

704
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:51,400
the morning and tries to find her
at my house. Jesus, yeah,

705
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,639
oh, I think Andrea told her, Oh, I'm I'm at, I'm

706
00:48:54,639 --> 00:48:58,719
gonna be at. I can't,
I'm gonna be at. Andrea didn't want

707
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,559
to go back there. They're weird. And I'll tell you another reason they're

708
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:05,679
weird in a second. So Andrea
says, I can't. I'm babysitting for

709
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,000
Stephanie. And so she came over
to my house looking for her to make

710
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,559
sure that Andrea was telling the truth. Oh God. And she was like,

711
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,039
um, She's like looking into my
house and she was like, can

712
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:19,280
I come in for a second.
I was like no, I'm sorry,

713
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,920
I'm really busy right now. And
Andrea was in my house, but she

714
00:49:22,039 --> 00:49:24,320
was like, Oh my god,
that bitch is trying to find me.

715
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,719
It was crazy. She was really
crazy. So she had this thing where

716
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,639
and she had told Andrea this.
When she came out, she was like,

717
00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:37,239
listen, we're doing this parenting thing
where we're not praising. We don't

718
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,800
you can't say like, oh my
gosh, you're so cute, or look

719
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:45,960
at you, or you can't praise
our son unless he's done something praiseworthy.

720
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:51,599
Now he was like a year old, maybe he was at the most like

721
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,760
fourteen or sixteen months old, right, so she wasn't allowed to say like,

722
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,760
you're such a cutey pie or anything. She's like, nope, only

723
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:04,840
if he does. What the fuck
is he gonna do? What accomplishments is

724
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,760
over there? Like find his hands, like I mean, he juggle.

725
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,360
What is he gonna do? And
Andrew was like, oh my god.

726
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,880
It was the most oppressive like and
they corrected her at one point because she

727
00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:21,719
did say something like oh, look
at you Jesus, and they're like,

728
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,280
no, no, no, no, we're doing We're really serious about this.

729
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,000
That was one of the reasons she
didn't want to go there. Also,

730
00:50:28,039 --> 00:50:31,119
the husband was just being shady and
weird and like hanging out, hanging

731
00:50:31,159 --> 00:50:36,559
out doing nothing when they were supposedly
so busy. So anyway to close out

732
00:50:36,599 --> 00:50:42,719
the story one So at one point
I needed this. I asked her if

733
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,639
she could. This is after many
favors that she'd asked me over a period

734
00:50:46,679 --> 00:50:51,119
of time. So John had to
I had to take him to go get

735
00:50:51,159 --> 00:50:52,280
this. Um. So we had
taken it he'd gone to the doctor and

736
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:57,679
they were like, you have to
go right to this radiology place and get

737
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:02,239
an MRI because we this this is
scary. Yeah, I'm freaking out.

738
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,480
I've got Elbe. I can't for
some reason, I couldn't take her with

739
00:51:06,559 --> 00:51:10,360
me, and I asked this woman, Sharon, if she could watch Elb

740
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:14,440
for like two hours. I was
like, I have to run John over

741
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:15,840
to this thing. I don't have
anybody to watch her right now. And

742
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:21,679
she was like, oh my gosh, I would love to help you out,

743
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:27,039
but I can't because I'm taking whatever
her freaking kid's name was too.

744
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:30,039
And then it was something that you
could completely not go to. I can't

745
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:32,719
remember what it was, but it
was like she was going to take him

746
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,199
to like a play like the play
room. I think that's what she was

747
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:42,639
doing. And I said oh,
and she was like, I mean I

748
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,639
take her, but we don't have
two car seats. And I said,

749
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,880
well, I mean we have a
car seat that you could use, and

750
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,920
she was like, yeah, I
just can't. It's just too much.

751
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:01,440
And I was like, oh,
okay, and I was crying because I

752
00:52:01,519 --> 00:52:05,480
was really scared. Did you tell
her like it was your husband? Had

753
00:52:05,519 --> 00:52:07,920
to go. Yes, I told
her. I was like, oh my

754
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,559
gosh, John just got this news
from the doctor. They called him.

755
00:52:09,559 --> 00:52:13,480
They said he has to go right
and have this MRI and I have to

756
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,320
go with him. It's it wasn't
even that far. It was like a

757
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,760
mile away, but I can't take
Elbie with me. And she was like,

758
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:24,480
yeah, that's a lot unbelievable.
Yeah, wow, So what happened

759
00:52:24,519 --> 00:52:28,719
to her? What happened with John? Anyway, So he gets this whole

760
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,039
test done and they told they said, I don't know, it's like a

761
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:35,679
fluke. Some people just sometimes have
like blood and their pea. There's no

762
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:40,000
real reason for it, right.
And then then again another couple of years

763
00:52:40,079 --> 00:52:43,800
later, same thing they found,
And so it became a thing where it's

764
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,639
like, oh, he's just prone
to it, really has this and it

765
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:51,559
doesn't really mean anything. Wow.
I've heard that, like the people have

766
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,280
gone to the urgent care and tests
come back where it's like, oh,

767
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,760
they tell you something and then they
make you like Okay, now you gotta

768
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,920
go to your doctor, go to
your bedia Rison, and then it turns

769
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,079
out to be nothing. Didn't you
have some weird tests come back like a

770
00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:09,360
while ago. Kind of sounds familiar, but I don't doctor. My wife

771
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:17,920
hits me. My wife hits me. Yeah, we can't call him a

772
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:27,280
wife beater because he's not a wife. So he'd doctor bed doctor beady,

773
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,679
Yeah, doctor beady. Yeah,
I don't remember. You had some tests

774
00:53:30,679 --> 00:53:34,800
come back weird. I did,
yes, and you had to go get

775
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,159
like further tests and they were like, yeah, it's nothing. Remember you

776
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,119
called me or you sent me a
text about it and you were like,

777
00:53:43,199 --> 00:53:45,280
yeah, I have that. They
had said I have to go get this

778
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:50,119
tested again because it sounds familiar,
but I don't remember what exactly it was.

779
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,960
Yeah, So did they tell you
not to worry about Yeah, they

780
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,639
just said yeah, I won't let
you know. But at the time.

781
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,280
So they did the test that day
and then they said they said, everything

782
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:07,239
looks okay. So when you find
out the results they said today, Oh,

783
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:12,119
but here we are at the end
of Monday. Yeah exactly. Yeah.
