00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:11.199
Hey, guys, welcome to Laura
Kane after Dark. How you doing.

2
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.039
Happy holidays. It's getting closer to
Christmas. I can't believe we're in the

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:20.920
middle of December already. It's I'm
crazy. Oh my gosh. I have

4
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:24.559
so much to tell you, so
much to tell you. Plus we have

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:31.120
a very special guest. Her name
is Clia. She founded doll Face Club,

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.640
Sober Living House. I have a
video We're going to interview her.

7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.439
She's an incredible person. She's a
designer. Some of the things I'm wearing

8
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.679
right now Face Club. So she
has a great story. So we're going

9
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:49.880
to talk to her in just a
little bit. Yep. And you won't

10
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:55.679
believe what happened to me on Friday. I'm prepared. I am sure.

11
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.640
I can't. It is insane.
So we'll get to that in a second,

12
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.119
and then I know you have something
you want to share. You have

13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.400
a show and tell I do.
First, I want to thank everybody who

14
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:17.560
has already donated to the doll Face
Club, Sober Living Fire Awesome through the

15
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.159
one thousand dollars Magical Holiday Box,
which just up the ante. Yes,

16
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.319
because Clia just brought us some merch
so that was added to the box.

17
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:33.359
It's awesome. Okay. So it's
five dollars a donation, yep. And

18
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.000
you can go to Laura Kane after
Dark dot com and you'll see the link

19
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.760
on there. And every five dollars
you donate gets your name put into another

20
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.920
holiday box and we will be picking
a name on the twenty first of December

21
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:53.319
and that person will win what's in
this box? So, Eric, yes,

22
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.120
why don't you show everybody? I
had to get a bigger box.

23
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:59.319
We had a different box, but
now I had to get a bigger box.

24
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.599
They have more stuff to give away. This box is worth over one

25
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:10.159
thousand dollars. So we have some
dollface Club Merch, which is super cool,

26
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:16.840
super cute that was just added to
the box, along with a lanyard

27
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.800
right here. Yes, I just
love the font. I just love this

28
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:30.719
font. We also have Laura Kane
after Dark merch a hoodie. We also

29
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:38.240
have oh, I know, there's
like there's necklaces in that bag from San

30
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.919
Diego Crystals and Jewelry. Okay,
also from San Diego Crystals and Jewelry.

31
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.000
Is this wooden box? Wait?
Hold on? Oh some other things in

32
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.639
here that are very pretty. There
are several necklaces. Yes, they really

33
00:02:53.840 --> 00:03:00.639
really hooked us up. And then
the box is really special. It's hand

34
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:07.840
carved and inside it's lined with red
velvet, and inside we have a bunch

35
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:15.960
of crystals and sage and a goshuaw
for your face, a bracelet, another

36
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.479
necklace. All of this in this
box alone is worth one hundred and fifty

37
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:29.120
dollars. Then we have from Capitol
Growth Inc. And our favorite Jay Wurtzler,

38
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.159
we have two hundred dollars cash.
Thank you Jay. There's a picture

39
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.840
of Jay right there. Two hundred
dollars cash. And then from La joya

40
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:45.280
cosmetic surgery center and Medspa, a
five hundred dollars gift certificate to use on

41
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.599
anything you want botox or maybe you
want to do a surgery. You can

42
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.280
use it. It goes toward the
surgery. Plus you get one year of

43
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.159
glam Fam membership, which is worth
one hundred and twenty dollars, So that's

44
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.080
actually worth six hundred and twenty dollars. So all together this box is worth

45
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.560
over one thousand dollars, and more
stuff is being added every week. The

46
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:11.560
money we raise is going to go
to this sober living home which I can't

47
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.879
even wait to tell you about so
and you guys have already started donating and

48
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:23.800
donating hard. So thank you so
so so much, game, I know,

49
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.040
really it's just so sweet and I
just I love I just love it

50
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.759
so thank you so much. I
mean, people have been donating. There's

51
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.879
one person donated one hundred dollars,
and again that person's name gets put in

52
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.720
the box twenty times. Every five
dollars you donate, your name gets put

53
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.439
in another box. So anyway,
the drawing will be on the twenty first

54
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.759

com. You'll see the link and you'll

Go to the glamfam dot com Okay, before we get to the crazy thing

92
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.480
that happened to me, we also
wanted to talk about our newest sponsor,

93
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:53.800
San Diego Crystals and Jewelry. Two
locations, one in ob On Newport and

94
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:59.480
one in La Joya on Prospect.
That one is brand new and it is

95
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.839
so viewed. It's right across the
street from Dukes Yep and George's and that

96
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.240
right there, and you will find
everything you could possibly imagine. Jewelry wise,

97
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:16.480
crystal wise, bowls and boxes and
scarves and just beautiful engagement rings,

98
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.759
gold earrings and all these crystals.
Look at all these crystals. They have

99
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.519
all the crystals you could possibly imagine. And they are great people. Brothers,

100
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.199
eight of them own these stores and
they are the nicest guys ever.

101
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.000
My friend met one of them at
it was like a little Holidays street fair

102
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.759
and La Mesa and they had a
little booth. Oh nice. Yeah,

103
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.720
and she's like, oh my god, he's so nice. His name is

104
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.440
Sammy. Hi, Sammy, Hi, Sammy from San Diego Crystals and Jewelry.

105
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.320
Thank you so much for sponsoring Laura
Kane after Dark, and thank you

106
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:52.559
for the donation as well. Thank
you. Okay, now, my host

107
00:08:52.639 --> 00:09:03.840
chat, Sir erger Loin's. Somebody
was kind enough last week to give me

108
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.720
a gift. I'm not gonna say
who it was, but the gift was

109
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:16.559
a gift card. It was an
American Express gift card. And this person

110
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.480
gave it to me in an envelope, in a little card, and I

111
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:20.919
was like, oh, that's so
and I thank you so so much.

112
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.320
I get into my car. Before
I start the car, I open up

113
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.000
the envelope and you know how gift
cards are attached to paper like that with

114
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:41.840
that sticky stuff sometimes so it shows
the amount the card. I was taking

115
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.000
it off the paper, it like
fumbled out of my hands and it went

116
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.519
straight down into the slot where my
parking break comes up. So it is

117
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.879
like the thinnest slot you could possibly
imagine, and it goes all the way

118
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.120
down to the floor. Because you
couldn't wait to do that until you got

119
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.159
home the gift card. She already
had three things she was waiting to buy

120
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:09.360
second, so oddly the websites that
were up on her phone were Sheen,

121
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:22.840
Tufty Girl, and Timus. The
card was worth one thousand dollars. You're

122
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.279
an idiot, Laura. It wasn't
my fall it was a complete and total

123
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:33.480
freak accident. Is it still down
there? So, oh god, I

124
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.240
immediately drive home because I can't see
it. You could barely even see down

125
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.679
in there, so I can't see
it. So I got I get home,

126
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.679
I get a long screwdriver. I'm
trying. I'm going in there.

127
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.879
I have a flashlight. I'm looking. I couldn't find it. I think

128
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.159
I probably pushed it back farther.
And the way my car is, you

129
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.320
can't reach underneath the console. So
anyway, I panicked. I took it

130
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.879
to one mechanic real quick. They
blew me off. I was like fine,

131
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.080
I took it to a second mechanic. They said, well, we're

132
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.679
going to have to remove the entire
center console and that'll be a thousand dollars.

133
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.039
That'll take no, three hundred dollars. It was going to cost me

134
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.759
and we can't take you till monday. So I'm freaking out right. I

135
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.600
know there's one thousand dollars in my
car, And did you say, do

136
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.240
you know how much shit I want
to buy? Today? Okay, anyway,

137
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.559
the sale ends tomorrow. I'm like, what the hell? That is

138
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.399
ridiculous. I'm not going to pay
three hundred dollars to get it. I

139
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.879
guess it makes sense because then I
still have seven hundred dollars left. But

140
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:48.600
what the heck? So long story
short, Antonio on Saturday took apart my

141
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.080
car because a jef you can kind
of take it apart. Took the seats

142
00:11:52.120 --> 00:12:01.080
out, managed to find the gift
card, but in the process also found

143
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:09.000
the following in my car the crevice
of my car. I can't hold hold

144
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.919
on. I didn't write it all
down. An old tarnished ring like an

145
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.799
ing. No, it was tarnish
because it was fake. Okay, lipstick

146
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:26.080
with no lid, one small hoop
earring, three pens, a metal carabineer.

147
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.399
You know what that? You know
what that is? Clumps and clumps

148
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:37.519
and clumps of dog hair no less
than ten sour gummy bears that fell when

149
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.799
I used to when I was in
my sour gummy bear phase three, broken

150
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.240
hard French fries. Strand upon strand
upon strand of blonde hair, some of

151
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.559
it my real hair, some of
it my hair that's taped onto my head,

152
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:58.240
your magic hair. Yes, a
Robbert nozzle that used to attach to

153
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.679
a car vacuum that I threw away. Oh, a ross tag that said

154
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.200
seven ninety nine on it, an
old Christmas card from the Haas family,

155
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:16.440
leaves from trees, dirt dust,
sticky stuff and a CVS receipt and her

156
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:22.919
birth certificate and her life savings.
Isn't that gross? Do you know what

157
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.759
Antonio would find if he took a
part my car? Like nothing, absolutely

158
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.279
nothing? It would be showroom new. And you know what your car is

159
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:37.360
showroom new? About six months ago, I spent two hundred dollars getting my

160
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:45.759
car detailed. All that accumulated in
six months? Can you fead my god?

161
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.720
But the good news is I am
now in possession of the thousand dollars

162
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.519
gift card. And do your seats
work in your g Yes? But there's

163
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.840
there's one little broken part on my
uh my, on my console, but

164
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.600
it's okay, I'm gonna glue it. And she goes, Eric, Eric,

165
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.159
we need new microphones for the set
for our show. Anyways, guess

166
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.080
what I just got from TIMU with
a thousand dollars No, you know what?

167
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.639
I try googled can you turn a
gift card into cash? And you

168
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:22.919
can't. Nobody has never given one
thousand dollars gift card. Yeah. Actually

169
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.639
trick. Did you turn? I'm
gonna say who it's from, why or

170
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.399
anything? Do anything for the gift
card? I was just myself. Okay,

171
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.159
which corner did you get the gift
card on? Shut up? But

172
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.279
that was an alcohol bulevar or Texas
Street? It was definitely alcohol. It

173
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.360
is Texas Street actually, god,
oh my god. But anyway, good

174
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.639
news. I have a back and
hopefully I can make a car payment with

175
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.480
a gift card. Can you can
you? I don't know what a gift

176
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.639
card. I don't know if that's
what I really need it for. It's

177
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:05.120
to make my car payment this month, but no, it's not. It's

178
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.600
like, no, it'll be a
portion of that. Well, you probably

179
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.240
can't. But then I was thinking, you know what, I should really

180
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:18.000
use it for something that's I really
want that's very expensive. But I can't

181
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.360
really think of anything right now.
So I'm just I'm not going to use

182
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.639
it piece by piece. I think
I'm going to use it to buy something

183
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.639
huge. Oh god, Okay,
So I think I'm going to take it

184
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.600
out of my wallet. Give it
to me. I probably should. Yeah,

185
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:39.679
okay, give it to me.
We have a new set coming in

186
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:45.799
January, and that has already been
paid for, so okay, we maybe

187
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.159
we'll get more stuff. Eric bought
two microphones. That's it. I bought

188
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:58.639
the rest of this a new couch, new table, new new. No,

189
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.200
I bought that couch regardless. Hey, we have a new set with

190
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:07.480
the nobody else. Brian, you're
killing me anyway. That's something to look

191
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:14.080
forward to in January. Is excited? Big things coming anyway? I cannot

192
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.559
can Can I keep that list?
Yes? You can keep things found in

193
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.519
the of my car. I'm going
to frame this and give it to you

194
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.919
for your birthday. Stop it should
post it on the website. Stop it.

195
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:33.759
Okay, So what is your host

I kind of have shown tell. I

197
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.679
have the box that came in,
but I left the actual product at home

198
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.519
on my kitchen counter. Okay,
but it does have a photograph of it.

199
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.879
So okay, I got probably one
of the best gifts this weekend.

200
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.799
Oh is this that your company Christmas
party? No? No, this is

201
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.639
it was this like a white elephant
thing. No, this was just just

202
00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.919
for you. Yes, okay,
So I've been looking everywhere for just like

203
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.880
a little accent light that has like
that Cepia tone where I look really good

204
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:15.000
in it, or I look tan
and yes without lines, Yes, I

205
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:25.519

206
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.480
So it comes with a little charger. Okay, So it doesn't have a

207
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.079
bulb. It comes with a charger. Yeah, it comes with a charger.

208
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.640
And then it has three different light
settings, so you touch the base

209
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.960
and the middle light is a Cepia
tone light. So you're gonna put this

210
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.599
weary saw my kitchen counter. Oh
okay, carry it around with me everywhere,

211
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:52.440

with all you for all your selfiesroom

212
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.759

selfie on my way to the bed. Wow, I'm on the toilet.

217
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:12.799
God damn the goodness. But yeah, I had it in the bathroom the

218
00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.279
other night while I took up a
bath your heart. Wow, you just

219
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.759
pick it up and take it and
then the it's got a good weight to

220
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.720
it, and it's really it lasts
a long time. Wow. I got

221
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.680
it as an accident piece, but
it turned into a centerpiece for every single

222
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.880
it did. I'm obsessed with it. Are you going to get another one?

223
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.440
Just so you have one and everything? I probably have. Look,

224
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.759
it's really cool. Did you get
it from I don't know. It was

225
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.119
a gift? Oh, okay,
yeah, I'll have to ask. It's

226
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:47.640
probably on Amazon. I'll look during
the did you have your company party?

227
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:52.079
Yes? Did you get a good
gift from that? I didn't. Oh,

228
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.000
yes, I did my gift exchange? I did you did? Okay?

229
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.960
Good? I got cash? Oh
that's always the bed dollar gift card

230
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:06.359
that which she did not drop in
between the seats. You guys anyway,

231
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.880
Oh my god, all right,
before we bring on, I am so

232
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.559
excited. I know, just you
guys, you don't even know. She

233
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.279
is just the coolest. And I
love her nails. I love her nails,

234
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:22.400
her look, her designs, her
purpose, her everything. And wait

235
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:25.160
to hear what the girls in the
house call her. You're gonna love this.

236
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.279
Okay, but first we need to
do a little bit of double D

237
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.880
news. Oh yeah, baby,
our show business, our celebrity gossip we

238
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.599
call the Double D's Daily Dirt.
I can blow this. I mean I

239
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:45.759
can blow through this pretty quickly.
Sorry, Oh my goodness, excuse me.

240
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:53.119
So Norman Lear dead at one hundred
and one. He created them all

241
00:19:53.160 --> 00:20:02.119
in the family. What the Jeffersons, the Jefferson's h there's like two or

242
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.920
three, one day at a time. Sad that Betty White didn't make it

243
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.079
to one hundred, I know,
just like a week short of her birthday

244
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:14.039
or something like that. Ryan O'Neill
dead at eighty two. Yeah, I

245
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.640
saw that. I just watched What's
Up Doc a couple weeks ago. It's

246
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:21.759
some one of my favorite movies.
I His daughter was a client of mine,

247
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.640
so I reached out to I haven't
heard back yet, though. It

248
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:30.880
just sent her our condolences. Oh
that's nice. So Beyonce's Renaissance concert film

249
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:34.160
opened at number one, but has
now slipped to number five. My daughter

250
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.039
and her friend called me on the
way back from this movie and they were

251
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:42.599
like, OMG, OMG, the
best movie I heard. It's amazing.

252
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.359
What do they love about it?
The plot was there? The plot twist

253
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.799
halfway through? I guess I didn't
expect it. The way it was filmed

254
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.160
was super cool, and she said
it was so loud. She goes,

255
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.200
and these are twenty these are nineteen
year olds, saying that it was so

256
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.839
loud. Oh, I probably wouldn't
get through. I agree. Movies are

257
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.400
typically too loud in the theaters.
I'd be like, somebody turn it down.

258
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.400
But it's gone now you can't see. I guess after this weekend it's

259
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.160
not in theaters. Thing. Oh, then it'll be on Netflix. That's

260
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.799
what I figured. Watch. I
heard it's almost three hours long, so

261
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.519
I'm good. That's insane. And
watch his concerts in a theater. But

262
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.599
the way it's shot it probably it's
probably super artsy. I heard it's really

263
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.839
really good and she devotes a lot
of time to like the backstage people.

264
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:33.160
You should see the trailer. It's
really really impressive. I'm good, Okay,

265
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:38.680
fine, I think about okay.
The nominations for the Golden Globes are

266
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:44.680
out. Barbie and Oppenheimer are leading
the pack, and the Bear with nine

267
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:49.640
nominations each. Killers of the Flower
Moon and Poor Things are coming in second

268
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:55.839
with seven nominations. Poor Things,
Yes, it's that's with Emma Stone Stone.

269
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.599
I think this is a TV show. No, it's a movie and

270
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.680
it's out already. I think kind
of like a female Frankinsight where they kind

271
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.279
of put her together, and I
think so it was like a limited release.

272
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.160
Yeah, do I want to see
Oppenheimer. I don't think you'd like

273
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.920
it. You would definitely not like
it. Why you say that it's a

274
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.559
biopic and it's like three hours long? Why would you say that you don't

275
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.039
think I like that kind of thing. I don't know. No, I

276
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.759
love documentary types of documentary. I
know that. Speaking of documentaries, have

277
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:33.319
you watched Bad Surgeon? Yes,
Oh my god, is insane? Is

278
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:41.039
co z Okay insane? And then
I just watched another one called Nice Life,

279
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.680
Beautiful Picture or something like that.
It's on HBO Max and it's documentary

280
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:53.839
about a pedophile and all these years
of what molestation has done to the victims.

281
00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:00.400
It's extremely, extremely sad, but
it's very, very, very well

282
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.960
done. I wait to turn it
on after it is a friend of mine

283
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:14.400
talking about it. It's very it's
a it's unbelievable. Wow. Last thing,

284
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:19.400
not that we care, but Real
Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jenshaw,

285
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.440
who's in prison right now wants Kim
Kardashian to portray her in a potential

286
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:29.440
biopic. Why would anybody make a
biopic about her? Nobody cares about that

287
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.400
chick. Nobody cares about that franchise
of Real Housewives? Right, did you

288
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.519
care about it? It's pretty good? Okay, somebody cares about it.

289
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.400
I don't know. I don't know. I haven't watched since I lost cable.

290
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.599
I don't know. I don't even
know where to get Bravo anymore.

291
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.039
Oh and by the way, I
may be able to explain my random coughing

292
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.759
that's been going on for months.
Yes, his occasional cough on Mike.

293
00:23:53.039 --> 00:24:00.119
I may have asked reflux and yeah, something okay, happens when you're almost

294
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:10.039
a hundred Clia weird. Laughing is
a factor. So from now on,

295
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.640
I'm gonna be the voice of doom
and gloom, and I'm never gonna laugh

296
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.039
again. Oh God, you're gonna
be there, Laura, Jesus, I

297
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:22.079
laugh at plenty, just not at
stud jokes. Oh I have a Christmas

298
00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.039
joke for you. Oh God,
all right, me too. Actually,

299
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.640
you go first. These better be
short and quick and done with, because

300
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.240
we need to move on. Laura
Caane. Yes, why is santa sack

301
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.920
so heavy? I don't know why
is Santa's sack so heavy? Because he

302
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:47.160
only comes once a year. That's
pretty good, no dumb, that was

303
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.880
so okay. I've got one.
What do the Pope and a Christmas tree

304
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.680
have in common? I don't know
what do the Pope and a Christmas tree

305
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:03.240
have in common? Their balls are
just for decoration. I think I've read

306
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.640
that before. Yeah you laughed.
I hate I hate that. I hate

307
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.599
the year jokes making. I hate
all jokes. But I don't know what

308
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.599
you're telling you. I have a
very curated selection. Oh yeah, oh

309
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.559
darling, do you indeed? I
love it? Okay? Can we bring

310
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.240
her on now? Yes? Well, first, while she's coming up to

311
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.119
the set, we're going to play
a video about the house and some of

312
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.599
the girls in the house, and
just so you get to know about some

313
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:37.160
little backstory while she's making her way
up here. Here's the video. Look

314
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.440
at how fast it and beautiful the
Silver Living House is. It's just gorgeous.

315
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:47.720
I'm entering the Dolphace Club Sober Living
House, and I gotta say this

316
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:53.359
house is absolutely gorgeous and clean and
sober today because I lived in a sober

317
00:25:53.400 --> 00:26:00.200
facility. And this is really really
important for these girls we live here.

318
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:10.039
Look at all the doll faced stuff. So cool, a big house,

319
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.119
there's lots of rooms and thirteen year
olds to live here. Right now,

320
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.119
this looks so familiar to me.
Oh my gosh, are you still live

321
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:21.559
in a sober living house? This
is where the meetings take place out here

322
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:26.680
in this big, beautiful modulard.
It's a play. It's just a wonderful

323
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:34.079
little everosphere. It's just beautiful.
It was beautiful really help me in recovery,

324
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:40.079
especially with being with women and like
surrounding myself more with women and then

325
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.079
also like the women here in recovery, I feel like I can relate more

326
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:48.880
to It's like and she like teaches
us to like to be able to be

327
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.039
like prendent and stuff, you know, like that's what she shows us,

328
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.720
hope, like we get from her
like and like people see us and they

329
00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:03.119
know that we stay after something and
we won't fall for anything. And this

330
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.359
is just like a family environment.
So if you don't have a family,

331
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.519
and this is where you give me
a supplies, food, water, coffee,

332
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:17.519
pies, just simple things. What
do you like about being here?

333
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.640
Are being part of the Doll Face
Clubs, the just the mission statement,

334
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.000
the camaraderie women and women, empowering
women, the recovery. You know,

335
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:37.319
we do this together. That's cute. That's my new jacket. Anyway,

336
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.319
Here she is Clia from Doll Face
Club, Sober Living. Hello, Welcome

337
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:48.400
to Laura Kane after Dark. Hello. Hi, Okay, So I was

338
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.400
scrolling through Instagram one day and I
don't know how it happened upon Doll Face

339
00:27:52.480 --> 00:28:00.440
Club and I look and there's the
coolest clothes hoodie, these T shirts,

340
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.319
sets, jackets, all different designs, and I'm like, I am really

341
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:11.640
attracted to this, this aesthetic.
I loved it. And then when I

342
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:17.519
found out that you opened a sober
living home, I was like, oh

343
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.960
my god, because I was in
a sober living home and I believe that

344
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:27.160
that two months I spent there saved
my life because I went from rehab and

345
00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.640
I thought I was just going to
go to rehab and then just come back

346
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:37.039
home. I needed more treatment and
I needed to learn how to live as

347
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.319
a sober woman. And that's what
the Sober Living House does for a woman,

348
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:48.119
for anybody really. So Claia tell
us a little bit about yourself and

349
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.200
why this is your passion and why
you open the house. Tell us a

350
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:57.480
little bit about your history. Where
do I start. I'm an immigrant,

351
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:06.799
so I, you know, spent
my younger years in and out of jail

352
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.160
and just on drugs, you know, and pretty much not seeing anything other

353
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:17.799
than that lifestyle. And then I
got clean at the age of twenty two

354
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.720
and by chance, not planned obviously, you know, And it was more

355
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:27.319
of like a force fully I guess
you could say, because I had the

356
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:32.039
judge pretty much gave me one chance
to like get it together. I've had

357
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.200
multiple chances, but once ice catches
you, I don't think. I don't

358
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.400
know if you guys know, but
no, it's ice, you know.

359
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:42.240
It's like, well, how they
you know, take illegal immigrants, you

360
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:47.200
know. And so where where are
you from? I'm from Albania, full

361
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:51.079
born, raised my whole family.
And then when did you come to the

362
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.640
States nineteen ninety six? Oh okay, yeah, I been here since I

363
00:29:53.640 --> 00:30:00.319
was six. Oh okay, yeah, so you they were particularly hard you

364
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.200
because of absolutely it was actually really
eye opening it at the time too,

365
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.119
because I was locked up with normally
when I get locked up, I'm in

366
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.799
county you know. But if I
catches you in time, I got built

367
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:11.839
out right away. But if I
catches you, they'll pick you up and

368
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.640
then you're done. You're gonna get
deported, you know. So I remember

369
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:21.079
being down in federal prison with like
everybody that there's a lot of people that

370
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:22.720
just tried to cross the border,
and here I am just like taking it

371
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.160
for granted. You know, I'm
here already, and I'm just I was

372
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.400
young, and you know, I
you know, we if you've been in

373
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.799
a subber living, we all have
traumatic childhoods at some point, you know.

374
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.359
So, yeah, I got clean
when I was twenty two, and

375
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.519
for a few years I just tried
to be learn how to be a productive

376
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.400
member of society and just kind of
be normal, you know, and have

377
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:51.240
a regular job and not do crime
and just kind of have peace without chaos,

378
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.000
you know. And then after my
third year of being clean, that's

379
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:57.240
when I got the idea for Dollface
Club, which initially we had already been

380
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:00.880
doing service events with my friends,
you know, to stay clean. Service

381
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.319
is a big part of what keeps
us clean, you know, giving back.

382
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.599
So we were doing service events and
then I was like, like,

383
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.400
I think it was like a hashtag
on Instagram that I commented back to somebody

384
00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:15.559
that I put Dollphace Club and it
was in the middle of the night,

385
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:18.440
and then I clicked on it and
there was nothing, and I was like

386
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.559
this can't be right, you know. So then like I did like a

387
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.319
Google search and there was like a
roller derby in like Kentucky or something,

388
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.200
you know, and I was like, no problem, you know. And

389
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:33.559
then the next day, literally the
next day, this was a Sunday night.

390
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:38.119
The next morning, I took I
went down to like the courthouse off

391
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.000
the Harbor Drive, you know,
where they sell the fbns, and I

392
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.839
went and searched if there was anything
called doll Face Club. And then they

393
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:45.720
were like no, They're like what
is it going to be? And I'm

394
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:51.119
like a clothing brand, I guess, you know. And then I walked

395
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.160
down those steps leaving there, and
I just it all hate me. I'm

396
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.640
like, oh my god, I'm
going to do like this is what my

397
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.480
friends are going to be called,
and we're gonna wear the shirts and we're

398
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.039
going to do a bit and we're
just it's gonna like we're gonna have different

399
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.960
chapters and different cities, you know. Like just a dreaming like I was

400
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.559
dreaming at that time, you know, and then yeah, I mean I

401
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:14.039
didn't. It's just grown a lot. So how many years have you been

402
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:17.400
sober? Now? I've been today, oh sorry, last week? Clean?

403
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:23.000
Eleven years? Okay, thank you. Getting sober at twenty two.

404
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.759
Clean and sober at twenty two is
very difficult. You're still so young,

405
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:34.400
your friends are all partying. Well, I guess you surrounded yourself with friends

406
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.680
that didn't do that. But that
I mean, kudos to you, because

407
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.960
that is that is tough at that
age. I was around a lot of

408
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.680
older people too, though, and
the lifestyle I was running was not like

409
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.759
I don't even think I've ever maybe
I went to a bar one time in

410
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.319
my life. I wasn't ever at
bars in my active using, you know,

411
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:59.559
I was literally a criminal. So
I think that happens in our active

412
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.920
addiction, and they tried to keep
us in that lifestyle, you know,

413
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.440
like the temptation of like you know, but yeah, I know, I

414
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:14.039
hear you. Well, how did
you then open up this incredible sober living

415
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:20.319
home. So when I started Dolphace
Club, within like a year, I

416
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.519
want to say, within that first
year, we were wearing the shirt that

417
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.880
I designed. The one kind of
looks like that, but it was just

418
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.559
black. It didn't have members only
at the bottom. It was I went

419
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.200
to a mall Kiosk and I was
like, I just want to do those

420
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:35.000
shirt was hideous, the first one
who made and they charged me ridiculously,

421
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:37.519
you know, But so we all, you know, my friends were wearing

422
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.680
the same shirt for a long time
and then they were like, you know,

423
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:44.440
we're wearing the same thing. Can
you just like make something else?

424
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.160
And I'm like, no, I'm
not a designer, like we're talking about,

425
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.160
you know. And then that same
night, I literally cut out her

426
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.920
shirt and put it on like an
old thrift store jacket. And then everything

427
00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:00.000
took off from there where I was
like, well, this is an old

428
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.319
thrift stoaree jacket. But look I
got this at her little pop up on

429
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:08.440
Saturday. Look how cute that is. It's upcycling. I love upsycling,

430
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:15.239
so okay, so okay. So
from then, you know, the brand

431
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:21.639
really really took off for me.
Like it from selling forty dollars jackets in

432
00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:23.960
the living room, you know,
my jackets are like five hundred dollars now,

433
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:27.920
you know, And for a long
time, I started feeling like,

434
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.000
Okay, well the brand is going
great. I finally don't need a day

435
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:36.280
job, you know, Like I'm
I'm living a great lifestyle thanks to recovery

436
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:39.039
and thanks to staying clean and thanks
to everybody supporting the brand. And I've

437
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:43.280
been praying like I need something else, like something something more, you know.

438
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.079
And then that's when this. Honestly, my sister is the one who

439
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:50.119
brought it to me because I have
but we also have a friend in the

440
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:52.960
siber living industry, and my sister
was like, you know, you would

441
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:55.039
kill it if we just did this
together. And I'm like, yeah,

442
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.400
maybe, you know, and then
last minute she backed out, and you

443
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:02.559
know, it just everything just kind
of like flowed together. And then I

444
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.519
just had this like idea where I'm
like, I upcycle clothes, you know,

445
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.559
reduce the carbon fiberprint, you know, and I like to use older

446
00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:14.599
things and make them new again because
it's also one of one, you know.

447
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.760
And then I'm like, oh my
god, I could thrift store furniture

448
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:22.280
and like revamp it and like make
it so that the whole house is custom.

449
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.960
And I wanted to go that route
with the Sober Living because I too

450
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:30.360
wasn't sober livings in the beginning,
and I had like horrendous experience, horrific

451
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:36.280
furniture, horrific like everything literally every
like, and I just wanted to provide

452
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.159
something that I didn't have when I
got clean, you know. Same with

453
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:42.679
the club in general, like some
sort of like a group of women that

454
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.119
I would have hung out with when
I was younger that probably would have steered

455
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:49.039
me away from what I ended up
doing. And with the sober living the

456
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.480
same thing kind of just fell in
my lap in regards to like I this

457
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:54.719
home is literally what I wish I
had when I got clean, you know.

458
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.679
Yeah, and it's it just like
came together. It's like I found

459
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.320
the tape and just everything else just
kind of like I don't know the whole

460
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:07.440
vibe of that because I went to
the meeting on Wednesday night. Is it

461
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.519
an open meeting, Yes, okay, there's an open NA meeting on Wednesday

462
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:17.159
Women's meeting at the house at six
thirty on Wednesday nights. And when I

463
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:22.360
walked in that house, the vibe, the feel it was just such the

464
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:28.000
just a flood of good feelings and
the girls that live there, there's thirteen

465
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:30.719
of them right now that live there. Right is? How many does the

466
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.559
household? How many can the household? Well, I have one that's the

467
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:37.960
house manager and she has her own
room, and then there's twelve other girls.

468
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:43.280
That's the max. And then how
if somebody was thinking, I really

469
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.880
would love to try sober living or
is there a waiting list? This is

470
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:51.199
there. You know, there is
a waiting list right now. Unfortunately,

471
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:52.760
he drives me nuts. I'm like, I need another house now. So

472
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:58.239
if anybody's watching that's renting for and
up bedrooms, I will rent it from

473
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:01.000
you and I will make it worth
it. Oh my god, I'm like

474
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:06.000
literally looking for houses right now because
at first I was like I just want

475
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:07.199
to own all these houses, but
now that I'm in it, like I

476
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.760
would rather not, you know,
and and with the interest rates, it's

477
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:14.719
crazy right now noways anyways, that's
a whole different conversation. But well,

478
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:16.599
on a sidebar, I'll get with
you because that's what I do for a

479
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:22.360
living. He rents things, Yeah, do you? Oh my god,

480
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.840
I'm telling you, like the waitless
everything is just like this. This year,

481
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.119
my whole this has probably been the
best year of my life, you

482
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.400
know, in regards to like just
doors opening and like more will be revealed,

483
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.039
you know. And the house is
amazing. I mean, the girls

484
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:38.639
are amazing, each one of them. I feel like, God just you

485
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:43.440
know, like plucked them in there, and I don't know, like I'm

486
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.559
excited. I'm already like looking at
furniture for another place, you know,

487
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:49.199
and it's like kind of ridiculous.
I've only been opened three months, you

488
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:52.760
know. But normally, I mean
several livings are revolving door, you know,

489
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.000
these girls are not revolving. They're
like, I'm not leaving, you

490
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:01.920
know either. It's is there a
time limit that you give the girls?

491
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:07.280
Not you live there for the rest
of your life if you if they want

492
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.039
to, can they Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah? You know what they call

493
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:15.159
her the girls what because she's such
an amazing leader and she's they call her

494
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:21.039
daddy. That's awesome. It's not
awesome. Oh it's daddy. That's so

495
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.559
funny. The baseball say daddy.
Oh my god, Oh it's so funny.

496
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.440
I'm going to get you want to
know where to get one of those

497
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:30.239
that's been like long standing. This
is not just a souber living. Even

498
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:35.079
my best friends like I'm not like
super nursuring, but like I'm the tough

499
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.559
love. I'll tell you, like
in real time what's going on. But

500
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:42.519
then like you don't want to disappoint
me. It's like I don't know what

501
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.079
it is. And then I if
anybody needs to pull up somewhere, it's

502
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.000
me the dad. Yeah, well
that's a good I mean, you need

503
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:55.639
a leader like that in order to
keep order and not chaos in a group

504
00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:00.400
of what thirteen fourteen women in one
house, you and somebody And that's like

505
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.760
you saw the little chores list.
I remember that list. I remember like

506
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.800
being on that list and when I
was had bathroom duty and when I had

507
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:09.639
this duty, and when I had
that duty, I was like, oh

508
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:14.320
my god, this is bringing back
to so many memories. But it is

509
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.639
just so this is what we're raising
money for. We've decided that you are

510
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:24.599
going to be our Christmas holiday box
recipient of the money that we thank you

511
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:29.360
rage and the girls are so grateful
too. They're like, oh they really

512
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:31.360
are. I mean they one of
the girls was saying, like they just

513
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:36.599
need stuff like like toilet paper or
tampons or like you know, food or

514
00:39:36.760 --> 00:39:39.039
games to play. Like one of
the girls says, I would love to

515
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:45.039
go skydiving, Like I have a
bucket list of things I want to do

516
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.719
now that I'm clean, Like I
feel like I just want to take on

517
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:51.199
the world. And I was,
Oh, my god, I can make

518
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.679
that happen for you. So I'm
going to I'm working on that one for

519
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:58.320
her. But so this is where
the money's going to go. It's going

520
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:00.000
to go to the house, going
to go to things that you and like

521
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:07.639
we were talking, sometimes in sober
living, there's like downtime and that can

522
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:14.000
be a little dangerous, right when
you get a little bored or so there's

523
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:19.039
activities that this money will go for, like he like outings and like field

524
00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.639
trips and stuff like that, and
talk about what you're doing in January.

525
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.000
So I love this. So we
had one of my really good friends,

526
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:30.440
Astrad, she's an amazing tattoo artist. She had this idea of doing a

527
00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:36.280
DFC tattoos Dolphace Club DFC, and
then all the donate, like everything that

528
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:37.760
they would pay for the tattoos,
she's going to donate to the house.

529
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:42.159
And then she raised around eighteen hundred
dollars. We all did this at the

530
00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:45.679
house and then now We're going to
go to Big Bear for the whole house.

531
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:47.719
We got like a mansion house,
case, spapool table. Oh,

532
00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.159
we're taking all the girls. Some
of them have never seen snow. Oh

533
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.079
my god. No, some from
the nineteenth to the twenty first we're going

534
00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:58.119
to be in Big Bear. So
I'm really excited. I'm like a weirdo

535
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:01.960
about snow. I love snow.
Really, did you? Is it snowy

536
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:06.159
in Albania? So? I was
born in Albania, but when I was

537
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:08.039
seven months old, I moved to
northern Italy until I was until we moved

538
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:13.119
here. In the part in Bergamo
where we lived, it literally snowed,

539
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.599
like I want to say, it
was like right on Christmas Day, Like

540
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.239
that's how close it was to like
the map. But then you know,

541
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.679
you're a kid, so it could
have been like not and it could have

542
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:28.760
been like but yeah. So there's
just like nostalgia about like snow. I

543
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.280
love it makes me happy. And
I think being there with everybody and having

544
00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:35.519
like a unique sover leavings that really
and you know what, they're going to

545
00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:38.599
be so grateful. It's not like
anybody's gonna be whining about having to go

546
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:42.920
to the snow like everybody's going to
be so, yeah, we can go

547
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:45.360
like play and yeah, I don't
know, I'm really excited. I think

548
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:49.239
it's gonna be cool. That's gonna
be so much fun. And you know

549
00:41:49.320 --> 00:41:52.360
what, guess what, Eric,
you can be part of the Dolphins Club

550
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.760
as well. It's not just for
people in recovery, it's not. It's

551
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.840
for people that want to help the
community. Yeah, and so there's something

552
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.559
else you're doing coming up at Father
Joe's right, Yes, And January thirteenth,

553
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.880
we're gonna be at nine am at
twenty four to ten Et Street and

554
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:12.840
we're going into the day Center.
So there's gonna be They said that normally

555
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:15.039
when they do events there, there's
around one hundred homeless people that come for

556
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.440
the day. And we're gonna do
bingo, so we're gonna collect prizes for

557
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.960
that. And then we have two
speakers, both of them in recovery.

558
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:28.639
But you know, the woman speaker
is so powerful. She's gonna be telling

559
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.360
her story there and she was actually
there herself and now her life is just

560
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:36.400
beautiful, you know. So it's
gonna be cool and we're gonna you know,

561
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.159
I think it's gonna be a powerful
day and Bingo's always fun like you

562
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:45.199
know, and not just like the
prizes shouldn't be just necessities. It'll be

563
00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:49.199
fun stuff too, you know.
Bingo was the best. Literally, like

564
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.400
I don't care if I win a
toothbrush. I'm like, yes, I'm

565
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:55.880
like weirdly competitive, you know.
But these are like things you do stuff

566
00:42:55.920 --> 00:43:00.440
like this frequently, right with the
girl with with once a month we do

567
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:04.119
once a month. We skip this
month because last minute we were going to

568
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.679
do the Father Joes this month,
but then they give us the go like

569
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:07.599
two weeks in advance, and I'm
like, no, we need more time

570
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:13.199
than that. So once a month
we do something though, So that's awesome

571
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:17.280
as a group and anybody, you
just need to buy a T shirt right

572
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:20.960
to be part of the club.
It's just a uniform. It's literally twenty

573
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.960
dollars. It's just so that we
all go in looking the same and you

574
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:27.719
know, just looks. I love
the way we look when we all come

575
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.199
in wearing the same shirt. You
know, but I can't afford it.

576
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:31.079
You can still come. I'll give
your shirt. It's not the end of

577
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:36.400
the world. Okay, So when
she does her drops because she I've been

578
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:39.480
following I've been looking very deeply into
your Instagram. I'm sorry, I'm still

579
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:45.480
I was stalking you pretty hard.
But she does drops like she shall have

580
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:51.480
a certain theme for clothing, and
like this last one you did had like

581
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:55.159
mother Mary and you know I love
religious art, you know, and then

582
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:59.639
it's a Dolphace club over it,
and then just the I got I got

583
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:01.960
a sweat. See it was really
really cute. But anyway, stuff sells

584
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:07.119
out boom like that, I was
looking through your stuff sold out, sold

585
00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:08.320
out, sold out, sold out, so I was looking for anything that

586
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:10.719
was available. I mean, I
don't know how that happened. It's just

587
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:15.639
so great. You're so talented,
and the fact that you weren't even thinking

588
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.199
about being a designer like early on. I still can't believe it to this

589
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.480
day. Honestly, I'm like,
it's I don't I don't even I don't

590
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:24.159
even know. I'm more of just
like a creative you know. Yeah,

591
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:27.760
I wouldn't be, like I don't
want to be put in that box because

592
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.599
then it's so much pressure, like
what's next? What you know? And

593
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:34.480
like I like to just feel creative
and like, oh now I have like

594
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.559
ten ideas. Let me go and
I could do. I'm in a place

595
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:38.719
in my life where I can do
ten things at once, you know.

596
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:45.079
But so if somebody is watching right
now that maybe might is struggling, what

597
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.880
is your message to them. My
message is that there's hope, you know.

598
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:52.639
And it's even though it seems like
there's no way out, there's always

599
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.679
a way out. You just got
to reach out. And the hardest part

600
00:44:55.840 --> 00:45:00.719
is making that decision, because after
that, the univer rist will flow with

601
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.440
you. You know, everything will
make sense and you can come out of

602
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.880
it and you can have a life
way better than mine. I never thought

603
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:08.960
I would have this life if you
would have asked me, you know,

604
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:13.920
And it's still shocking to this day. I feel like I would just blink

605
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:16.199
and it's gone, you know.
But it's real and it's here because I

606
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:21.039
made the decision to like, I'm
going to try something new. That's all

607
00:45:21.079 --> 00:45:22.320
it takes is just to try something
new. If it doesn't work, you

608
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.320
can go back to what you're used
to. But I guarantee you it to

609
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:28.519
work, because if it worked for
me, it can work for anybody.

610
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:34.079
And you are helping others and that's
what keeps us clean and sober is paying

611
00:45:34.079 --> 00:45:36.679
it forward. I feel like a
lot of us have influence, you know,

612
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:39.599
and if you're one of those people
that has that type of energy,

613
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:43.519
like you should use it for good? Why not? You know? For

614
00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:46.960
sure? Exactly? Oh my gosh, So this is where your money is

615
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:52.119
going. See the Dolphace Club Sober
Living. You guys, it's five dollars

616
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.199
an entry the box. We showed
you over one thousand dollars worth of good

617
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:01.000
ease and there's more being added every
single week. And we will draw the

618
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:07.159
name on the twenty first of December. And already people have been giving giving

619
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:09.199
givings, so I'm super excited.

00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:30.920

meeting on Wednesday. Oh my god.

625
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:36.719
Yes, I'm like, I found
an any meeting that is outstanding, because

626
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:39.719
she couldn't find like an any meeting
that really, but she could gravitate towards

627
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:44.519
I'm like, this one is women
only, and you will totally jive with

628

00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.639
get dirty and then clean first,
so yeah, it's a process. And

643
00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:54.719

process, your girl. I'll reach out
