Sonny Sonny got back from Japan. I could not wait for this kid
to get back because he barely communicated with me the whole time. Um,
I had the time on my clock on my phone so I could see time
it was in Tokyo, you know, always fifteen hours plus it was always
the next day. So I remember it was like eleven thirty at night,
and I was at my condo and I was just sitting there and I was
thinking, Sonny's gonna be leaving soon, and no, it's like twelve o'clock
at night. Sonny's leaving soon. He's not gonna land, He's gonna get
on a plane, and he's not gonna get off the plane until it's eleven
thirty am my time the next day. So he was on a flight for
eleven and a half hours wow back to San Francisco, and then one more
hour and you know, so I got little bits and pieces of his trip
he sent. He said he was having a good time for the most part.
He got a little He sent me a picture I think I told you
last week of like it looked like, you know, a tray at the
mall mall food and he was like, yeah, these anyway, couldn't wait
to see him. All he said was I lay and at at three o'clock
at lax, the bus will be at the school. You know, I'll
talk, I'll text you when we're on our way. Please be there when
I get there. Of course you would, of course I am. I'm
not gonna make him walk home with the suitcase. He's like, so I
knew, like he really wanted to get home, and he was probably tired,
ended up. Like I talked to him. He said he slept maybe
three hours in the last oh like forty hours or something like that. He
barely got because he's not a good sleeper as it is. So he's I
know, hot um. He was going from city to city and you know,
different hotels. He had the same roommate the whole time, which is
a friend of his that he's known. The two of them are perfect together,
and they don't like they both are like kind of quiet, you know,
go to bed at the time. You know, they just get in
their beds and they chill and like watch their own shows. First thing he
wants to talk about is gonna make a little bit of noise. Stephanie Stefani's
got her boot on. I got my boot on. I'm gon I'm gonna
take it off because it's like bothering me. Okay, so so he talks
let's talk about Game of Thrones because he's so he's telling me. I'm like
on the way home to the airport. Yeah, it's like the first thing.
But when I said, okay, so I pull up and then he's
he's him. All the kids are getting off and I see him laughing and
he's having like saying bye to everybody, and the other moms are like,
oh, you know, you guys made it because he was with three of
his other friends. So I know the other moms lovely women. And this
trip was two weeks, right, yeah, it was ten days, okay,
ten days so, and it wasn't it was like different cities. It
was like one night here, two nights there, three nights there, blah
blah blah. So um, he's you know, he's see he's awake and
everything. But I could see his eyes were just like glassy and like bags,
and just I could tell he was I think he was on drugs.
He was. I think he was like on adrenaline like that, you know.
And I hope you took him straight like a rehab. Yeah, yeah,
you're like too much, Sonny son so, uh so he was telling
me that on the way there, he was watching Game of Thrones for a
while and then kind of dropped off, like season three. Then he was
like, I'm gonna catch up on Game of Thrones on these on these flights.
Okay, so he download he figured out the Wi Fi. Yes,
so he figured out the WiFi downloads all these episodes. He said, on
the way there, he watched Now, I don't know if you guys remember
Game of Thrones the Red Wedding. Remember that episode? Yeah, yeah,
Stephanie, you don't know what I'm talking about. I didn't watch any Game
of Thrones, but was that a crazy episode? Crazy episode? So he
watched the Red Wedding on the flight. Yeah, great episode. So he's
like, oh my god, I'm back in. I'm back in. Then
he watched the episode after it and he was like, it was really good.
I remember when it was first airing. I remember when I first watched
The Red Wedding and it all happens at the end of the episode and then
it over and I just sat there for like a half hour. I was
like, that didn't just really happened, and I was all sad it didn't
really happen because it was a shot. But it did. But it did
happen, Stephanie, don't tell us everybody knows what the red wedding is.
Yeah, that's a thing. Yes, it's a thing. I'm just imagining
a lot of people died, so red wedding, there's probably a lot of
blood. Blood on the right track. Yeah. So remember the episode where
Pedro Pascual Pescal did heights the Mountain, Heights the Mountain. Oh yeah,
that traumatized him too. It traumatized me. It was like, mom,
do you remember that? And I got not really, And he was explaining
to me what happened, and he was like, I was seriously traumatized.
And I was like, oh no. And he's like, I mean you
go relax, you know, in a good way. He's like, I'm
taking it all in anyway. He's watching these episodes, he's ready for the
next episode. He's got nine more hours on the plane and doesn't download.
He's fucked the rest of the way on the way, can't download the rest
of the Game of Thrones. So now when he gets to Tokyo, it's
three o'clock in the afternoon. All he wants to do is get to the
hotel to watch that episode. So he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're in Tokyo. When din't we get to go the hotel not to
sleep? And then he gets the hotel that night and he's trying to watch
the episode and he's falling asleep and falling. He was like, no,
I want to watch it, but he was fighting sleep anyway, So they
get there the next day, it's three o'clock. I took Sunny home and
Olga was there and she was like, I want to hear, I want
to I want to know. So he just the three of us were sitting
in the living room and he was just going through like day by day by
day, but like the highlights were like uh they you know, they went
they went to like Mount Fiji, you know. And I don't know if
I told you guys last week, but he asked the late She says that
erupts every four hundred years, and Sunny said, well, how one's last
time it erupted and she said four hundred years ago. Seriously, yeah,
it's like So he sent me that text and I was like, oh,
great, glad you told me that. So, yes, a lot of
driving, a lot of going, he said he would do the trip again,
but not with a tour. And then they had Tomo, which was
their tour guide, and he's like, mom, she's like four feet tall
and we couldn't fight like a lot of So she had a number like UM,
one of those the fans you know, and he bought he brought one
back her old guy gave it to her UM and so she would hold the
fan above and he goes, yeah, so that makes her what four feet
three inches tallar Like she constantly was like, don't lose me. But she
was really sweet, he said. Everybody, the like people that were waiters
and people like at the hotels were like the nicest. People were so nice,
and there was like some people that came up. It's probably because American
people are like, uh, the ten foot alien to them. Well,
they're menacing there because Sonny's like six over six feet's like almost six two now
are you serious? Hair? Yeah, he's pretty taking his hair with his
hair. And then he's got like his other friends that are six two.
There's like three of them that are really tall. Then the people that went
with him was a teacher, missus g and her husband and they're African American
and he's got the dreads, you know, he shaved on both sides,
got dreads. And then Sonny he's like, look and tell me how old
you think he is? And I was like, I don't know, forty
five fifty, maybe he's approaching seventy. She said, Oh my god.
Mister G and her husband and they go every year. They take every all
the kids on the trip. And he's like, they're so cool. They
were so nice. He goes, the first day I get there, I
don't. I don't know them very well. So they're like, we're in
a mall and they're like, okay, you guys have free time. So
he's like, me and his friend, you know, Ian, and I
like wandered outside of the mall and then we walked down a couple of blocks
and found a hat store. So Sonny buys like a bucket hat that he
loved and he wore the rest of the trip. So he buys a bucket
hat. He comes back in and mister G they're chaperone. He goes,
oh, what'd you get that? I like it? And then he was
like, oh shit, am I gonna get in trouble? I didn't know
if I was supposed to leave if I was allowed to leave them all.
And he was like, I got it. He's nervous, he's gonna get
in trouble. And he's like at the hat store, a couple stores down
outside them all, he's like, oh cool, He's like, then I
knew. He's like they're really cool. Like they were. They were very
cool, and they were funny. They were just and they were on the
same page. Like if some of the kids were like, oh my god,
this is boring, they're like, I know, all right, let's
move it along. Like they were cool like that, you know, but
very respectful, obviously very respectful. And they they toured, they went,
they saw that they went to a like a soy sauce factory. They did
it, okay, no sushi, no sushi liken till like almost the last
night there. They went to a sushi making factory where they made sushi and
sound. He was like, so they would have like free time every day
during the daytime, you know, like a couple hours of free time.
So him and his friends went and found a sushi restaurants, sat and ate
sushi, but on the itinerary there was no like real sushi sushi dinner until
like the third to the last night. They had a birthday dinner for him,
which was sweet, like celebrated his birthday and yeah, no sushi a
lot. The first night they got there, fried pork, a lot of
fried pork, and he was like it was good, but I just didn't
want to eat like that heavy heavy. And then he's telling me, he's
like, have you heard of um this water? That's what's it called?
Uh? It makes you go to the bathroom. It's got um it's called
lax water, and it helps you go to the bath Yeah, and everybody
everybody said that. When I told Wendy, she was like, where can
I get that? He was avoiding it. No, they had it whatever,
And then he was communicating with his cousin back here and his cousins.
A lot of people were like, check out the vending machines and he was
like, the vending machines were super cool. They had like some of them
had like toys and little knickknack things in it. Some of them had like
you know, all these different like Fanta flavors that you would never see back
home. He brought back a Japanese coke bottle, which was cute. Yeah,
he brought back porcelain chopsticks the kind I broke my tooth on in New
York, but like really cool red ones, and he yeah, I mean
the food was good. But then like the last day, the last day
they had to go, she decided. I don't know who decided, but
there was some play and it was three hours of torture, he said.
He said, we were all really tired. It was kind of a it
was like an audible like they called like, oh we can go do this
play. Even the missus G and mister G were like, oh my god,
what did we get ourselves into? But you know, they sat there
and they were like most of everybody was falling asleep. At intermission time,
he went out to go to the bathroom. So then they closed the doors
and he's like, oh, I can't go back in darn. So he
sat outside on the bench with his earbuds for like a good hour of it
not to miss it. And then eventually mister G was like, hey,
what the what are you doing? And he's like, I don't know.
They didn't let me back and oh yeah, yeah, okay, go on.
So he was like and he played it for me. It was like,
oh, like paper like paper puppets, just not something a bunch of
teenagers from America want to sit and watch, especially when they're sleep deprived,
like and they're trying to stay awake, you know. But that was the
only like holy shit, but um yeah he was playing it. That makes
a good story though. Hey, that's what I told him, like,
oh, look, you survived, makes a good story. Yeah. You
don't want everything to be like it was fine, right right, want something
to be like, oh shit, this sucker. Right, hey, let's
take a quick break. All right, we're back Motherfucker's son. Do you
say motherfucker on YouTube? Oh yeah, okay, sure, hope. So
all right. So so he had he had a fine time. I would
I was asking questions like for me, like did you ever wake up and
go, oh my god, I'm still on this trip, like oh my
god, I can't wait to go home or anything like that, and he
was like no, I was. I was enjoying myself. We were having
fun. It was just certain things like certain dinner, certain food was like
you know, like you're really hungry and then you get like yeah, like
two little barbecued, shriveled up pieces of chicken. So like I'm so like
you. I would have been like, but tell me the really bad part.
That's what I was like, Yeah, when way you like, do
I communicate by with negativity? Like yeah, tell me what sucked? Yeah?
Yeah. What were the times that you were like, oh God,
I can't wait for this to be over. Yeah, well the play the
play was that. And there was a lot of driving, he said,
a lot like on the bus, just like hours, you know, just
I mean it would take a couple hours to get to Mount Fiji and a
lot of driving and a couple hours gets to the next place and a but
the hotels were pretty cool. There was a sauna. There was a spa
that he went to. So he woke up in the hotel. They had
a like a sauna. He said. The whirlpool was like as big as
a swimming pool in their spa. And he woke up at like four in
the morning. He couldn't go back to sleep, so they have to be
up for breakfast at like six thirty. So he was like, you know
what, I'm gonna push through. So he got his swim trunks. He
went down and he's like, I'm gonna have some quiet time. So he
goes down to the spa and he's like, I got my earbuds in and
I'm sitting there, nobody's there, and I got my feet in there.
I'm listening to my podcast. And then he gets into the spa and then
around you know, five thirty, like businessmen start coming in. Oh no,
and they don't wear swim trunks. Oh no. Yeah. So he
was like, this time to pack it in. So yeah, failed it
out of there, package package up and go. But um yeah, and
then he said there was a oh. Then he said there was like a
bunch of like they were in an elevator in a sky rise with mister g
and every like like these a bunch of Japanese men were like, oh,
you guys are from America, like oh my god, what's your nationality?
What's your nationality? And what's you And then he said I'm Italian and then
they were like, oh spaghetti, Oh my god, I know it's like
spaghetti. He's like yeah, like yeah, okay, all right on um.
But he was like we felt like celebrities because they were like where are
you from? Were you like they were just like so excited to meet us,
like it was crazy. Um, but yeah, he enjoyed it and
very clean, very clean. A lot of smokers, he said, a
lot of smokers. Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of smokers. And
I said, was there cigarette butts everywhere? No? No cigarette butts,
no feedie saw one homeless persons? Wow? Yeah? Is that because they
take care of their homeless people out there? I guess I don't know.
But very clean, very clean. Yeah. Um, Like the the vending
machines didn't have like the you know, the fence around it, you know,
the cage around it. Um, And wait, why would they have
a cage around it? You know our vending machines have like the cage.
Oh yeah, you know, our vending machines have no cage. And they
instead of like pressing C eight for your thing, and I mean, they
just have like pictures that light up and you just press on the picture.
It's kind of high tech kind of thing. Um. Tokyo was very like
you know, like I said, was it like vegas on steroids? He's
like yeah, there was a lot of a lot of lights, a lot
of like yeah, bright lights, less sound. I go, did you
understand, Like, I mean, you see they had you get around like
could you read? And he's like yeah. I mean they make it kind
of easy for you. A lot of people and then they had Tomo their
their tour guides that that she helped a lot, and they had Google translate
that they came in handy a lot. So um. But yeah, he
enjoyed it. It was he would do it again, but not with a
tour, right. Yeah. Now Natalia didn't want to go. He'll no,
okay, no, So I told you that my kids want to go
to Iceland. Yeah. So the teacher that was taking all the kids to
Iceland, though, quit, well he's gonna go teach college. He's going
to go be a college professor. So good for him. Good for him.
But I told I think I told you that when I found out how
much it was. It's forty five hundred dollars a kid, and I was
like, for two for both of kids. One, it's almost ten thousand
dollars to send them on a trip that would be very education intensive, which
I felt like, it's not going to be super fun. It will be
educational, right, it's not like going to be just a great time.
Right, So I feel like I might as well to save that money,
right, they can do a trip like my friend my really good friend,
Laura's daughter and two of her friends. They went to Europe and it was
it was only so so Laura's another one of their friends. So the three
girls are really good friends. And the one of the mom's new people knows
people like in Europe and set up a hole like, Okay, when they
go to Germany, they're going to stay with this person this family, and
then when they're here, they're going to stay with this family. So they
found all host families to watch the kid and they're having like the best time,
and the whole trip only cost like the flight, I think it was
like fifteen hundred dollars a kid, and they're going for two full weeks.
Yeah, there's friends of Natalia's that have done that. They go to Germany
and they because they're studying Germany here, they take classes and then they go,
yeah, and they stay with host families. Yeah, so this is
actually like friends though of the you know, it's not like a school.
It's through the parents, right, And this person knew one family here and
then this person Laura didn't know anybody, but the other two moms new people
and they and they're having the best time in the families are like thrilled to
have the girls. They're like, oh my gosh, they're rolling out the
red carpet and some of them have kids the same age as the and they're
doing like throwing a party and taking them to different places and they're seeing all
these cool museums. But they get to do like kind of what they want
to do, right, like fun stuff right right. They went to like
a beer gardens one day, and like, you know, I'm like,
that's the way to go. It's like a huge savings and they're doing stuff
that they're interested in doing, right, you know, there's I think though
there's a payment plan, at least there was for this trip for Japan.
Yeah, at times too, are you kidding? I Mean I've sent Elbie,
like I sent her to DC that kind of a trip and it was
expensive, but that was DC. It wasn't as bad as like Japan.
Maybe, I mean, I'm saying I would do it, but for the
fact that they're not going to be have the best time ever and it's that
much money, I was just like I can't. Yeah, that's just too
much. Yeah, they have to have this, Yeah, like I do
you want to go to Icelander? Do you want to do a week of
growlings here you go, okay, oh you know. And then last night
there they did karaoke, which was fun. I got videos of that Sunny
singing my Frank Sinatra's My Way with his friends, which is really sweet because
I know that that's a special song for him because we played that at my
dad's funeral and he always talks about it. So when they sent the teacher
sent that like just out like all the kids doing karaoke. When I saw
that video, I was like, oh, I'm so cute. But yeah,
it was. It was very restrictive, like yet a couple hours of
free time, but then you're on the bus again. Right, yeah,
that's right. Yeah. When Elbie did some school trip, it was like
eighth grade or at the end of end of right, at the end of
eighth grade. Oh, end of eighth grade is actually when they went to
DC, right. But during that year they did like Astrocamp, the Astrocamp
and then there's another one. There's like a science pod they do or see
me c I m I it's like something the institute anyway, but Astrocamp was
something else. But I just remember I'll be telling me that that like they
went a little crazy at the hotel because you know, they were playing like
cards against humanity and that they were the chaperones or whatever. We're actually kind
of cool about it. They were like whatever, We're not see no evil
here, you know. Yeah, so they said they that was actually kind
of fun, but only like after hours, right, But then some of
the boys were trying to sneak over to hang out with the girls. Nothing
like nefarious. They were trying to like sleep with them. But the then
they got really mad at the boys for like trying to like sneak over and
hang out with the girls. And it was Elvis said, it was only
like ten o'clock at night, like, yeah, they're coming at one in
the morning. Is Ell be gonna miss doing going to a camp? Is
this her first summer? No no camp? M h. How does she
feel? Well? Elby is, uh, yeah, I don't mean she's
an adult now. I know. I know a lot of the kids that
she from last year are going back to camp, but a lot of them
aren't because a lot of them are leaving for college early. So I think
I think I'll answer honestly, I think that she's very distracted by her boyfriend.
And her boyfriend is going to be leaving town soon, and I don't
think she had any interest in being like out at camp with no access to
Like She's like, what, Yeah, I want to see him as much
as I can before he leaves, and like why would I go to camp
and be away from him all this much? Sooner? So yeah, and
then I don't know because she's going to be having to take some classes at
Pierce College. So you know, I as I tried, a lot of
people have messaged me on Facebook or tried to send me emails. Yeah,
no, figured out how to get my email addressed. Stalkers I like to
call them and said, Elbe really needs to like send an email. Like,
so there's a thing if you don't get into college or if you're on
a wait list called a letter of continued interest. So a lot of people
were like, she really needs to send a letter of continued interest. But
what I would tell everybody is that you see, Santa Barbara doesn't allow them.
They don't they don't read them, and they make a big Kasha about
it. They're just like, I don't know if Kasha would be the right
or they do. They make a big production out of like, we don't
take letters of continued interests. Here's all the things that you're not going to
do. I'm not going to be reading letters of continued interest. You can't
do an appeal if you're on the wait list anyway, So just sit back
and relax and wait and see if you get into the school. But we
had a moment, a low moment recently where Elbert where because some other friends
of hers have gotten off the wait list at UCSB and not LB, and
she was just not wanting to do some of the paperwork, digital paperwork involved
with getting into Pierce. And I told her, look, let's send an
email to UCSB. I go, it's not officially a letter of continued interest.
Let's just write let's just see if there's an email address where we can
write to the admissions office and be like, hey, so this is not
a letter of continued to interest. But that in a subject, right,
And here's the thing, like, this is my specialty. My speciality,
right is like being ballsy, right, writing a hustler, like find a
way around it. You know, I said, it can't hurt. They're
not going to be like, oh my god, this girl was on the
way to list, and she tried to send us a lot of continued interest.
She is outright, I go nobody's gonna care. So I was like,
let's find So we went on the thing. We found a think to
the admissions office where they're really supposed to write to them if you are getting
off the wait list, like if you're canceling or if you're I don't know
other reasons, not like hey, checking in on the wait list. So
I told her listen started right in the email, Hey, I'm on the
wait list. I totally know that you don't accept letters of continued interest,
So this is not a letter of continued interest. I'm just writing to say
that like, oh my gosh, I really want to come to this school,
right, and like I help. I just helped her with like,
Listen. As soon as I came on a tour at this school, I
absolutely was like, this is the place for me, and I understand there's
a lot of applicants, blah blah blah. Consider this just a hail Mary,
you know that's good. And so she did. She wrote it and
sent it and then she got back this like a form letter that was basically
like but it did say LB on it. So I'm like, look,
even though they sort of cut and pace their standard spiel to you, they
had to have opened your email, right or how would they know that your
name's Elby right right? Like? And they would have to know what you
were writing them about to send you their form email about how we don't accept
letters of continued interest, but everybody should will be alerted by June thirtieth if
they've gotten into the school. And just know that there was only an acceptance
rate of twenty three percent this year, which is super low because like two
years ago is thirty eight percent. I think last year it was like thirty
percent, and so this year is twenty three percent. So they said,
you should feel very flattered that you even are on the wait list, you
know. Anyway, So she was pretty bummed about that, but I told
her, well, so she's going she has to sign up for a class
for a summer class. If she wants to do this yeah Pierce College program
into one year. She has to do. She has to take a certain
amount of classes in a certain amount of time, and one of them is
probably going to have to happen over the summer. But she's really like dragging
her heels yeah, and I'm having to really parent, you know, I
don't enjoy, which is like, okay, sit down, and we're going
we're doing the application right, and it's not super easy. They don't make
things easy. So and then you need a counselor to help you figure out
what classes to take, and she she's already had two meetings with counselors.
But then, okay, I don't I hope this isn't like super boring.
No, this is interesting to me because I'm looking at my future right and
I'm looking if LB can't you know what I mean? My kids? It's
hard. So UCSB, this is a weird. But psychology at different in
colleges means different things. So I might have told you guys this before.
But she applied to psychology at UCSB, which is actually brain science, so
she didn't realize that she was. She thought she was applying to like a
humanities like, you know, psychology, Hey, what makes people tick?
Not like what's happening in your brain, which apparently entails a lot of fucking
boatload of chemistry, physics, and biology, which she was like, oh
how though, Yeah, so I might have told you guys this before.
So the thing is she could still apply next year to be in the psychology
program at UCSB, but she would have to take all these certain classes in
one year. And she's like, she'd have to take us definitely a chemistry
class over the summer and a bio bio and then a second that would be
a prerequisite to the chemistry class that she needs for this program. So that's
two chemistry classes and then next like right this year plus a plus a high
level biology class, plus physics. And she's like, but if she majors
in like sociology much different. You could take like statistics, which she already
took a p stats. She already took it, so that covers that requirement.
A lot of the requirements are already done, so she won't have to
take as many classes that she anyway. But in order to go through that,
she has to meet with a counselor again. So she's already met with
two. But now she's going to do a different major. So it's just
like Byzantine. It's like okay, So every time she thinks she's done,
I'm like, okay, but did you do this? But did you apply
to the honors program? But no, I'm like Okay, you need to
apply to the honors. And every time I met with like, yeah,
yeah, maybe a little tears because she's it sucks for her. But I'm
like, I know it sucks, but like it's gonna suck more if you
do nothing right, like and this opportunity goes away, that's going to really
suck, right, Like, this isn't I can't do it for you.
You have to fill this stuff out. You have to do it. So
we did some of that this morning. But now I today was juneteenth,
so school school's closed. Yeah, so no counselors to meet with. So
anyway, tomorrow she'll meet with a counselor and then she'll figure out what classes
she needs. She might have missed some deadlines though already for summer, like
Natalia got on it early. She's already doing her class. Yeah. Oh
that's high school though, right, yeah, she's got another year, but
yeah, she's getting her Spanish done. Yeah. So anyway, Elbi does
not want to be doing classes or being at camp or doing anything that's super
time consuming because that would take away from like hanging out with her. Guy,
don't all kids want to do this at this time, at this age?
You know, they've had an ass full of school, like they need
totally, and I get burnt out at it. Her burnt out, I
know, I know, and I Standard would just die if they had to
do any more school over the summer. But then they also get bored so
fast, right right, and you know their mental health can just like shoo.
Yeah, like if they're not busy with a lot of friends and stuff
to do, that all of a sudden, they're sitting in the house,
sitting in their rooms. Yeah, looking a TikTok yeah, going on board
right right, Yeah, that's that's where parenting comes in. And it's like,
I'm allergic to it. I know, I just want to do fun.
Shit. Should I take We don't have it? Oh we're not.
Oh oh but let's take a quick break. Okay, Should I take my
kids to Vegas? Should take Standard to Vegas? Is there fun stuff to
do for kids? Though? I like to gamble sports gambling? Are they
gonna I d them in a casino if they tried to get on like I
think? So, yeah, Okay, what else is there? You know?
You know top Golf, that's a place that's uh, we used to
take them there. There's a hundred things to do there top golf, golf.
It's you know, you got to look it up. It's have you
ever been their game? No, but I've heard about it, and I
do really want to go. I think they have them. I think like
they have one in Long Beach. But it's essentially like a driving range,
but it has like a bunch of games, like, it has a different
like different things that you're supposed to aim for. It has food, it
has like entertainment while you guys all lounge out and do it. It's like
it's not just for golfers, right, it's a place to go and like
have fun. And yeah, you are swinging at a driving range, but
it's from what I've heard, much more entertaining than just a basic driving range.
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what would. But there's
like pool at the hotel, right, and then there's shows and there's a
little like amusement. There's rides, there's some of these go walk around and
hang out. Yeah noh, I I mean you've had an ask full of
Vegas. I get it. Yeah, but my kids have never been.
They haven't. Oh oh, take them to Vegas. He's never been.
They've been to Palm Springs, they've been to San Francisco, they've been to
New York. Oh, take them to Vegas. They'll have fun. I
want something like close, but that's kind of different and fun. Oh and
then they yeah, they have the Links Center, which they have a zip
line thing. Oh that soole, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you
should take them to Vegas. They've never been to Vegas. Yeah, it's
such a quick flight. Oh yeah, it's cheap. It's cheap. Yeah,
I need a passport. Nope, I should get them a passport.
Oh. Another thing my kids are doing. See, summer is good for
something. They're doing their driver's ed. Yes, yes, so that they
can and so uh. And Elbie is being such a good coach because she's
like, forget, don't try to read all the stuff. So much of
it is common sense. She's like, just just go through it. Try
to do the quizzes. Sometimes if you fail the quiz, you have to
do it again, like within the driver's head online course or they're doing.
She's like, and then once you get through it, even if you haven't
learned that much, you do like quizlets, quizlets, quizlets, there's like
an app, right, driver's head app basically, and then she's like,
and then they're going to go in and try to pass, try to get
their permits. Yeah, so they can start driving this summer. There you
go. That's fun. Yeah, that's fun. So that'll be a fun
thing to do, get their permits, drive their asses around, that might
get they're doing the actual driving instruct their dude, Okay, yeah, because
Sonny is Sonny can get his license now at any time. Okay, he
just needs to get the driver's instructor. So he has he done any lessons
with the instrument. He was he was going to but then he went to
Japan, so now he just did it this morning. Okay. Yeah.
They need a certain amount of hours and then they get their certificate yea for
doing the driving. Then they get their license, right then they can take
that and they go get Yeah, they get their license. Yeah, so
that's what they're doing. But and Italia has her permit now too, right,
so and then she'll be able to get her license like September. Okay,
yeah, perfect, Yeah, so that's what they're doing. Yeah.
So then and if Sadie and Xander get their license, well next year,
oh my gosh, they could already be driving themselves to school a softmore.
Imagine, I'll be living this sweet life. Talk about a corner office.
Don't need don't they need an adult in the car though, at that point
or something after they get their license, as soon as they pass their as
soon as they get their permit, the clock is running six months until they
can get their license, right, right, So let's just say they get
their license a little bit into their sophomore year. Well, I guess no,
it would be well into their sophomore year at this point. Well,
if they get their license, now, let's say they get their lights,
their their pre July. Then they'll be able to take the test like December
or January, right, and then they'll have their license. Yeah, and
they can start driving like they'll still be tenth graders. Yeah, it'll be
nice. That would be nice. Yeah, and then I have to buy
LB a car. Adam's going to help me. Yeah, because so I
told I think I told you that. I told her, wee John,
and I told her that if she doesn't, if she gets if she goes
to UCSB, obviously buy you're you're at school, you don't need a car.
But if she doesn't, and she's stuck right at home, and we're
gonna get her car because doesn't she want a car? Oh? Yeah,
she wants a car. But I'm saying she because because she just drunk.
Because we both work from home, and hardly ever there's always a car available
for her, so we've never bought her a car. Um. So I
told her that we would get her a car as kind of a consolation.
Well, graduation present consolation too. You didn't get into school, so you
have a car to drive. That's nice. That's nice. Yeah, and
then of course our second Then our second car will probably be Sadie and Xander
right right. Oh, they get their license, that's gonna be cool.
Yeah, they're gonna be driving to school. Kaylin, what are your kids
doing this summer? You got you saying you're going to sign them up for
stuff? Yeah, well I was just finished her summer school. She just
did two weeks of she went every day as opposed to during the regular school
or she was only doing two days a week. So she liked that.
We just signed them both up for dance, um, like through the park
or something. It's like that's on Saturdays and then Tuesday Thursdays is swim lessons
for both of them, and then starting in either September or August, uh,
soccer on Saturday. So they're going to go from dancing. I don't
know, as Blake, she's gonna be three in August. Oh my god,
she's only two. Yeah, well she acts like she's three. I
love them. She's going to be four in like two weeks. Oh my
gosh, that's so cute. The fucking fours. Those fucking fours. Yeah,
so three wasn't terrible threes, it's the fucking fours. Okay, yea
hearing it. Yeah, you're gonna go to soccer games and hang out with
the other parents. Yeah, that's coming. I don't I don't even know
if they have like games yet. Yeah, soccer four. They're just like
they see a butterfly. They're like, you know, and you're like,
I no, go towards the next Yeah, no with the ball. So
it's a cute age till startlert it is. Yeah. So well, yeah,
so my saturdays are now going to be filled up for quite a while.
Yes, well that's fun. I remember her soft ball when we signed
them up, both of them and Natalia is just like smacking it the ball,
and then Sonny goes up and he's misses and swings, misses and swings,
keeps swing and miss, swing and miss. And then Natalia is in
the outfield going, come on the ball already, and she's sitting down and
then she lay and the coach is going, get up. Your brother's gonna
hit the ball anytime now, just stand up. It was like, this
is a bad this is bad. Why do we decided for them both in
the same sport? Oh my god? And then I remember I remember Sonny
doing Oh gosh, I remember when Sonny did basketball at the y MCA and
Adam and Sonny's best friend, Jensen's dad were the were the coaches, and
there was this dick dad. I don't know if did I talk about this,
yes, a long time, you remember, I remember. I remember
the controversy. He his son, He would take his son. He was
I think he was a single dad. His son had autism, and he
would scream and his son and be like, don't go the other way.
Pay attention to what the book, So don't run when you see them running
this way, just run with that. Don't go because he would run off
to the different directions and Adam and mister Jensen. They were like, what
the fuck with this guy? And they complained about him, and then when
they saw him grab the kid, they went over there and they were like
hey, hey, and it was like a whole Kashaw like are you don't
you fucking touch your kid like that? Like it was and then they he
got in trouble and that they the the owner or the whatever, the manager,
the y m c A had to talk to him and send him down
and then he was gone. He was gone. But yeah, and that's
just the y m c A. Yeah, that was a hot throat at
the parks. Y oh my god. And then Club you know name Club.
