I was almost putting a 5 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,159 headlocked by Stephanie. How dare you? That's the most I've seen Stephanie move 6 00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:51,039 by. Now we'll get to that.

Lastly, the reason you're coughing is because you're it's contagious. I 14 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:25,560 just gave it to you.

Listen. 17 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,439 I thought about it, and I was like, oh, Caylen has 18 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,359 come in when he's like hacking up along because you know why. He's like, 19 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,079 I'm going to be this way for the next four months. Go with 20 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,439 it, right, and I'm going to tell you why I still have this 21 00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,480 cold in a few minutes. It's adrenaline. Had the cold for over a 22 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,519 week, but the adrenaline was stopping me from feeling it for the first time. 23 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,280 Three days of it interesting. I'm fine. I don't think this is 24 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:07,120 anything. This is allergies. And it kicks in Alicjescalante in the city of 25 00:02:07,199 --> 00:02:12,680 Almonte. Kelly Brant, She's yes, she is. Oh yeah, She'll 26 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,639 give you a mentos. That just reminded me of a story.

Rita has a face of a Bassett 34 00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:52,800 hound in the best way, though. I think basket hounds are adorbs. 35 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Jacob, you're so growley like a Baskett hound.

Well, Oh, nothing much to report here, No, 41 00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:28,240 and nothing much to report? All right, here's what happened, Yeah, 42 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:35,319 what happened. Everybody was waiting so crazy. As you know, I have 43 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:42,919 been completely obsessed ever since these stupid fucking UC decisions started coming out. We 44 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,800 all remember, and this has only been like a couple of weeks since Lbe 45 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,159 found out that she was waitlisted at cal Poly slow right. Thus beginning slowed 46 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:59,080 her roll, slowed her role, thus began some real tension because remember I 47 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,599 told you she was, she started crying. I knew she'd been in a 48 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,960 bad mood. Remember, I went in her room and I was like, 49 00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:10,919 something's up with her. She wasn't seemingly making plans to go see San Diego 50 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:15,519 State, which I was super jazzed about. And then she told me I 51 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,199 found out I got waitlisted at cal Poly Slow and she was like, this 52 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,839 just doesn't bode well. And I was like, all right, everybody, 53 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,839 let's not get crazy. You did get into San Diego State, this is 54 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,079 very good news. Then she but she was like, then I went to 55 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,800 that book fair and she found out that she got into Irvine. Oh okay, 56 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:43,120 okay. Then I made her go to Target with me to get some 57 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,519 stuff to get ready for my book festival, and then she got into a 58 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,319 better mood and she was like, Okay, I'm going to try to be 59 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:53,319 positive and I am going to make plans to go to see San Diego State. 60 00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:56,079 And I was like, okay, cool. Then she got into Irvine. 61 00:04:56,519 --> 00:04:59,560 Then she promptly did not make plans to go see San Diego State, 62 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,680 nor did she make plans to go to Anteater Day, which is what they 63 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:06,839 call Irvine Kids. So then I was on this roll. It's been a 64 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:13,839 roller coaster. Yes, But then Robin was like, you know, cal 65 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,240 Poly Slow is actually harder to get into than any of the UC's or I 66 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,879 found that out, and I was like, I'm not going to tell Elb 67 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,480 because it's going to create more of a roller coaster. Then she got into 68 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,920 Irvine, and then she was more excited. Then she got into Berkeley, 69 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,279 and that was like, holy shit, we were all so happy. I 70 00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:40,560 know, everybody was in tears. But and there is a butt. I 71 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:45,399 was so excited and jazzed about Berkeley that I was blinded to the fact that, 72 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,600 like, although Elby was really happy about Berkeley, she had her sight 73 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:56,720 set on UCLA. Right now, I know that these are total first world 74 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,319 problems. If you think I don't fucking know that, I know that, 75 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,839 Like I'm not stupid. I know that, Like, oh my god, 76 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,360 my daughter got into Berkeley and Irvine. She had we were lousy with good 77 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,160 choices, yeah, you know, yeah, nothing to complain about, right, 78 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,240 But when your kid is like it's had a thing that they wanted since 79 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:23,639 they were young and worked hard and worked hard. She had and remember, 80 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:30,160 please remember, I don't know why I'm begging you to remember everybody remember that. 81 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,480 She also when she started going to community college, she also found out 82 00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:40,279 that she couldn't do this TAP program, the Transfer Alliance program, because it 83 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,319 had turned out she wasn't taking honors classes, and she had done so much 84 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,079 footwork to figure out how to do the honors She had to get accepted into 85 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,000 the honors program. She had to choose her classes for the honors program right 86 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,759 then. Oh, by the way, these classes that you're registered for that 87 00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:00,120 you thought were honors classes are not honors classes. A lot of hurdles she 88 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,680 had to jump through, and she but she was like diligent and getting her 89 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,319 stuff done like that what she needed to do, even though she was taught 90 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:16,120 told wrong information a lot throughout the way exactly so then she had to keep 91 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:23,639 telling herself like okay, and as a mom, as a mom, I 92 00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:29,040 don't know if you guys know that we're parents on the show, I felt 93 00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:32,439 like, I'm this is going to be a real shock to both of you 94 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,279 guys. I'm an obsessive person. What I know, it's crazy. I 95 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,279 get, like, you know, my brain just starts going okay, all 96 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,000 right. She didn't wasn't able to do the TAP program how does that really 97 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,800 hurt her chances? And then she told me that the counselor was like, 98 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,560 listen, I know you didn't tap and that's disappointing, but your application still 99 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,720 looks good. Then my brain goes, is she just blowing smoke up her 100 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,879 offs? So she's trying to keep her spirits up? Is is that really 101 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,360 true? And then I'm looking at REDIT and I'm looking at anyway. The 102 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Irvine News was very uplifting because it was like, Okay, that's a hard 103 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,040 school to get into. Then the Berkeley was like, holy shit, she 104 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:24,639 got into Berkeley. Well that's what made me feel hopeful. But it turned 105 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,560 out that she was so nervous about this UCLA decision. So we thought the 106 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,720 decision was happening last Wednesday. So you and I recorded on Monday. M 107 00:08:33,879 --> 00:08:37,759 hmm. The show came out on Tuesday. I told everybody, by tomorrow, 108 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,679 I'm going to know if she's into UCLA. Wednesday morning we woke up. 109 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,360 I was so nervous for her all day. This is how it was 110 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:50,480 going to go down. She said, if I get into UCLA, I'm 111 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:54,480 going to Ucla. Ya. If I don't get into Ucla, I'm going 112 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,279 to decide between. At this point, she'd gotten into Santa Barbara, so 113 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,279 she was like, I'm going to decide between Santa Barbara and Berkeley, Right, 114 00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:09,360 I'm going to weigh my options because I like the vibe at Santa Barbara, 115 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,919 right, but like Berkeley. Shit at Berkeley. Yeah, So that's 116 00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:18,080 where our heads were at Wednesday all day. We're nervous. So we decide 117 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:24,279 that we're going to try to recreate the circumstances that led superstitiously to her acceptance 118 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:28,799 at Berkeley. So we went back to the mall because we've gone to the 119 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:33,200 mall that day. Let's just not change anything. Let's just do the exact 120 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,879 same thing we did. So we did it at the same time, like 121 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:41,279 we really just tried to recreate and we were laughing about it. But she 122 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,320 was like, Mom, I'm like sick with nerves about I'm sick. And 123 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,840 I was like, me too, maybe me more than you. Then she 124 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:52,320 was like, mom, it's not a competition. You're not the one getting 125 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,919 into college. And I was like, how dare you shut up? Okay, 126 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:03,120 we go home three o'clock, rolls around nothing. So then everybody's like, 127 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,919 Okay, I think it comes out everybody on Reddit. You have to 128 00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,279 understand that. I'm yeah, you're folks. We're freshing Reddit, Reddit, 129 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,000 slash our, slash transfer students. They're all focused on UCLA. Five o'clock 130 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,159 happens, that's what time it's supposed to come out. Nothing. All of 131 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,720 a sudden, people are like, holy shit, it's coming out. It's 132 00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:28,120 not coming out till Friday. And we were like, are you kidding me? 133 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,159 If you did all that? Somebody found out there was like a Ucla 134 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Instagram page. It was like decisions are going to be out on Friday. 135 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,600 So we're like, oh no, we're starting this all over again. So 136 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,480 that night, go to sleep. Next day, we just don't really talk 137 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,600 about it that much. On Thursday, Friday morning, we wake up, 138 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,600 We're like, time to go to them all. But then, you know 139 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,000 what, we were like, well, I don't know that whole mall thing. 140 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,799 Maybe that what didn't even work? You know, we should we should 141 00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,399 change it up, but do something positive. So we both went and got 142 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,519 our We got went and got our haircut. Oh that's nice. We're like, 143 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,399 we're gonna totally like distract ourselves haircut. Anyway. We we do like 144 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,600 different things, but we still try to keep it in the mode of like 145 00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:18,399 going out together, doing something, keeping our mind off of it. Right, 146 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:22,600 Okay, then we did. We made sure we didn't get home until 147 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:28,320 like three thirty. Then I don't remember what happened for like the next hour. 148 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,759 Then it was basically at four thirty, I was like, it's countdown. 149 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,480 So then at like four fifty nine, I come out. We go, 150 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,120 We stand at the kitchen table. She's like, Mom, I am 151 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,279 I'm shaking. I'm like so scared. I'm so nervous. I was like 152 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:52,960 my heart was beating like a freakin' hamster. Yeah, where I can barely 153 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,879 breathe. Then she goes, oh my god, I'm too scared to look. 154 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,399 It hit five o'clock. She so she refreshes Reddit. She's like, 155 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,679 I'm not going to look until Reddit says the decisions are in. She refreshes 156 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,639 the page. Somebody goes, They're in. I'm in. I was like, 157 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:11,799 I felt like I was at the highest altitude. Like I was like, 158 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:16,039 oh my god, I can't breathe. I can't breathe. So her 159 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:22,279 best friend, who Bella Julie's daughter, who goes there, was like, 160 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,279 I want you to record your reaction. Yes, smart so but then Elbie 161 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,759 was like, oh my god, I hope this doesn't jinx it, you 162 00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:31,440 know, I know. But she's like, Okay, fuck it, I 163 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,519 don't care. I'm going to record my reaction for better or for worse, 164 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,039 you know, just in case. So she sets up her phone facing her 165 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,840 so she I'm standing behind her. So she looks at it. I see 166 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:50,600 that, you see it. I congratulations. But it took she said. 167 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,639 It took her a second because she was looking at the body of the email 168 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,919 and it said congratulations are on the top right. Apparently on the other one 169 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,399 ones you open you have to go it. When you open it up to 170 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:09,360 your portal, it says scroll down click here to see the decision. But 171 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,720 on UCLA's as soon as you put in your information and hit refresh, it 172 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,039 tells you. So she was so scared because she was looking. Yeah, 173 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,879 so she didn't so she hits things. So she sees it and that was 174 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,399 it. That was like, I know, I swear to god, it 175 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,879 was like the best moment of my life. I now was so happy. 176 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,919 Yes, she was like, and so for those of you who don't know 177 00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,159 or aren't on the social media, she recorded herself and she lost her mind 178 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,799 and I lost my mind. You guys were both screaming and jumping up and 179 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:50,000 down and hugging. It was a year coming. Yes, she's the first. 180 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:56,240 One of the first colleges she toured was UCLA with John when she was 181 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,960 a junior, and she was like, I mean, this is this is 182 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:03,000 it? Like it's a beautiful campus. But she didn't think she could get 183 00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:07,799 in. So when we saw Santa Barbara, she was like, I think 184 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:11,320 I have a very reasonable chance of getting into Santa Barbara. So she had 185 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,480 her hopes on Santa Barbara. But I remember after she loved Santa Barbara, 186 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,679 going, so is that your number one now? And she goes, no, 187 00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,399 I mean Ucla is still number one, but Santa Barbara's number two. 188 00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:28,600 Berkeley was number three then and so on down the line. So Berkeley, 189 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,679 Ucla, and Santa Barbara had always been her top three. But then even 190 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:39,440 this transfer around because she didn't tap, she was not holding out the highest 191 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,879 hopes for it. When she got into Berkeley, she said, her hopes 192 00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:46,759 started to go up for Ucla. But a lot of kids don't get into 193 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,960 UCLA and Berkeley. They get into one or the other. So she was 194 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:58,080 also trying to temper her expectations because she'd gotten into Berkeley. Well, guess 195 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,320 what turns out? She found out the night before she got the financial offer 196 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,759 from Berkeley, and when she read the offer, it said for spring of 197 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,679 twenty twenty five, and she was like, wait what. She went back 198 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:18,000 and read her congratulations letter. She was accepted for spring of twenty twenty five. 199 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,879 Oh, which would have meant she wouldn't be starting school for eight months. 200 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,559 So she didn't say anything. She didn't tell me because she was so 201 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,240 like, kind of upset about it, but also like, Okay, none 202 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,000 of this is going to matter if I get into UCLA. Let me just 203 00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:35,360 see what happens. And she told herself, if I don't get into UCLA, 204 00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:39,960 I'll probably go to Santa Barbara. Right, So she got into UCLA. 205 00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:45,399 We were screaming with excitement, everybody. We were so happy. And 206 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,120 then she was like, that's it. I'm going to UCLA and we accepted 207 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:54,919 the offer. Nice not nice paid the money nice for the accepting the offer. 208 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,279 It's like two hundred and fifty dollars, best two hundred and fifty dollars 209 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:04,080 I'd ever worn. Everybody she has been a different kid. I bet I 210 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,279 have my old daughter back. Yeah, I lost her for an entire year. 211 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,159 Yeah, Oh my god. I've seen glimpses of her and sometimes she's 212 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,000 happy. But I don't know. I think I told you maybe on a 213 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:21,879 Patreon. I don't know. But I had a talk with her. Yeah, 214 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,399 And she told me, I'm just I'm just trying to distract myself. 215 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,799 I just go from the thing. I'm trying to like work as much as 216 00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:33,360 possible. But I'm sad all the time, she told me. And now, 217 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:41,639 and I understand it's not just getting into UCLA. It's not that simple, 218 00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,799 obviously, but it's that it's settled now. Yes, she got into 219 00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:51,000 UCLA, which makes her feel so so happy, but also it's just like 220 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:56,639 all of this drama from the time that she found out that she got into 221 00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:00,759 not one you see that she wanted to go to to having to go to 222 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:07,920 Peers, to getting broken up with to all of this and then having to 223 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:14,599 motivate herself to reapply. Got her an essay coach, you know what I 224 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,680 mean. She had to go through all of it again, then to get 225 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,119 the applications in, and then to be waiting from the end of November. 226 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,359 Oh god, now to know what she's doing with herself. It's all been 227 00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:32,160 so hard. Yeah, so now she's like I love it. It's like 228 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:37,599 she wants to hang out again. Yeah, she's like it's like my old 229 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,559 daughter. Yeah, that's so nice. That's crazy. Now, Like I 230 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,480 wonder if is this because like, so she got it so obviously when she 231 00:17:47,599 --> 00:17:53,240 works hard, her efforts pay off. But is it because of the first 232 00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:59,079 time around the college counselor told her about. It's so many things. Number 233 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,759 one, Number one, she had amazing grades. She had an insane rigor 234 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,960 to her schedule. The reason that she didn't get in is because she applied 235 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,319 with psychology. That's what I'm wondering. So if she's for the reason, 236 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:18,960 if she had applied, she reapplied under sociology, she still had to get 237 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,799 great grades. The transfer rates are higher than the rates for getting in right 238 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:26,240 after high school. Right, So, but I do think she I don't 239 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,079 think she would have gotten into UCLA even if she applied under sociology. Maybe 240 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:34,519 she might have. I think she would have for sure gotten into Santa Barbara. 241 00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:38,960 Yeah, but the that's that such a bummer, Like, what the 242 00:18:40,039 --> 00:18:45,880 fuck with these college counselors. Oh my god, John sent an email to 243 00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,480 her old college counsel Good. Really do you want me to read it to 244 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:53,279 you? Yeah, it's pretty funny. Okay, good, because it's ridiculous 245 00:18:55,599 --> 00:18:59,960 this John told me, Oh, we should do it. We should talk 246 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:03,359 about nutri Yeah, tell us about it. I'll tell you about neutrifol. 247 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:07,559 Listen. I love neutrifol.

Okay, 268 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,200 so here's the email that yeah, genre literally that night I think he just 269 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,319 couldn't help himself. Which night, the night she got into, the night 270 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,440 she got into UCLA. Okay, John emailed this college counselor we paid big 271 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:10,039 money to. I won't say her name obviously. I hope this finds you 272 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,359 well. Realizing that everyone's knowledge and information based perpetually evolves. I'm relaying an 273 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,680 update which I hope might be helpful if you have future clients applying to UC's 274 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,240 in California. Last year, as you know, as an applicant to the 275 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,519 UC's as a psych major, which we confirmed was one of the most impacted, 276 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,160 our daughter LB ended up going one for six on UC acceptances. She 277 00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:38,200 then opted to bypass UC Santa Cruz in favor of doing a year at community 278 00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:44,039 college and reapplying this year, applying as a sociology major, which we learned 279 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,160 was less impacted. She was fortunate to go five for five on the UC's 280 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:52,440 including acceptance to Berkeley and UCLA. She's very excited and has committed to the 281 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:57,519 latter. It definitely seems that steering away from the most impacted handful of majors 282 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,119 makes a crucial difference and gaining admission. Hope this helps looking to the future. 283 00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:07,960 Good, here you go. Uh yeah, and then she wrote back, 284 00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:12,960 keep in mind last year, this is what these counselors do. They 285 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:18,599 start asking you because they want to brag to their new clients, where did 286 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,240 your kid get in? Uh huh? She kept sending us that email and 287 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:23,559 I finally wrote her back and I was like, she didn't fucking get in 288 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,039 anywhere. She got it, you know, she got denied everywhere but Santa 289 00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:32,119 Cruz and it's because she applied for psychology, to which she wrote back, 290 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,160 Oh, that's not true at all. I just went to a conference about 291 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,359 May and they said that the only U see that cares about majors is Irvine. 292 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:45,319 And in my mind, I'm like, well, that's one hundred percent 293 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,039 not true. But I'm not going to fight with this bitch, you know 294 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,200 whatever. So she wrote back to John, Hello, John, thank you 295 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:59,200 so much for the update and a confirmation about impacted majors. The UC's puts 296 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,359 on a conference every September for counselors, and at last September's conference, impacted 297 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:10,000 majors was a hot topic and one that doesn't play such a role at other 298 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:15,079 public institutions. I'm so glad LB is now moving on to UCLA, and 299 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:21,480 I thank you for your feedback. So basically what she's saying is, yeah, 300 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,119 it turns out that it does play a role at the UC's but not 301 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:33,200 at other schools. That I know a lot about. So listen, yeah, 302 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:37,559 two people are at fault here. We shouldn't have used this counselor because 303 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,960 LB from the beginning knew she was applying to the UC's And this woman works 304 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,480 at like a small school in Vermont. She works at like a high school 305 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,079 in Vermont where she basically coaches people to apply for small liberal arts schools. 306 00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:56,799 But and she kept pushing lbe, oh, you should really look at like 307 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,759 some small liberal arts schools, and I'll be kept saying like I want to 308 00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:03,359 go to a big university and I want to go to school in California, 309 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:08,480 and she was like she did. She wasn't helpful for that. We would 310 00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:15,240 have been much better off just hiring an essay coach and figuring it out ourselves 311 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,920 because that's what they need. They needs. And when I say essay coach, 312 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,079 I'm not talking about somebody who, just to be clear to everybody, 313 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:32,319 a good essay coach helps them figure out what to write about, helps them 314 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,119 maybe structure it, like, helps them know because especially for the UCS, 315 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:44,519 there's these like nine points that they have to answer, right, It's really 316 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,079 specific for a lot of schools. So a good essay coach can help them. 317 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,440 Like a lot of a lot of kids only have to write one for 318 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:57,640 the common app which goes to a lot of different schools, and then sometimes 319 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,079 they'll be extra. They'll have like an extra one, but sometimes you can 320 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,480 reuse them. Yeah you know. Yeah, you've read your kid's essays. 321 00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:11,799 Yeah, there's there are things involved in writing a good essay, and colleges 322 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,799 look for certain things, and a good essay coach knows what the colleges are 323 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,720 looking for. So when you write your essay, you send it to your 324 00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:22,559 coach and they can say, oh, I think you should focus more on 325 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,000 this and less on this. So Elbie had an essay coach. She was 326 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:32,880 also able to bring it into her community college office transfer office and they had 327 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:37,559 counselors that were able to look at it and good, that's good knowing what 328 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,839 the ucs are looking for. So she got feedback that's good. I was 329 00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:42,759 very hands off on this one. Yeah that's good. But I know that 330 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:48,200 John read her essays and was like these are good, like these are really 331 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,559 good. He felt good about it. That's all we really needed to pay 332 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,400 for. Yeah, well, you know, she worked so hard and she 333 00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:03,000 got knocked down and knockdown and knocked down, and she kept getting up and 334 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:07,559 you know, she did what she had to do and it paid off. 335 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,519 Hard work paid off and that's all accounts. I know. I'm just so 336 00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:18,240 mad that, you know, it's not like it's not like we paid. 337 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:21,799 Look, did I have somebody go sit and take the essats for her, 338 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,480 like you know Becky or Felicity Huffman. No, but even just paying I 339 00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:32,119 think it cost us. You know, this was when she was a junior, 340 00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:37,240 Like whatever it cost us, like thirty eight hundred dollars for that right 341 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,799 private counselor, which you know we paid. I paid sixty dollars an hour 342 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,160 for the essay coach. You know, we paid in total like one hundred 343 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,559 and twenty dollars. See, and that's all she really needed. Wow. 344 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,240 I mean, now you know, for your ex kids, I mean, 345 00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:56,759 you're not psyched about your college counselor either. No. No, he was 346 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:03,519 just like schmaltzy like with his writing. And also he would like give dates 347 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,279 wrong and when things were due, and Natalia was like are you sure about 348 00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:11,880 that date? Like she was constantly like on top of him, and he 349 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,240 was the one who was like, hmm, I'm traveling, so I have 350 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,359 to reschedule. Okay, when can you reschedule? Well, let me get 351 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,480 back to you. And then Natalia would like where Sonny would text him and 352 00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:23,759 be like, h are you available on Tuesday? Oh you know, sorry 353 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:26,799 I didn't get back to you. No, I can't on Tuesday. I'll 354 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,720 get back to you in a couple of days, like that kind of stuff, 355 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,920 like that's what he was doing, you know, what the hell? 356 00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:37,759 And like steering Sonny wrong with the University of Oregon and just yeah, just 357 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,640 like wrong and I don't know, like wrong information. Luckily, we didn't 358 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,079 pay an arm and a leg like we paid. I was like, okay, 359 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,000 you know, I'm not going to spend a ton of money on a 360 00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:52,279 college counsel for these two. So it was about the same as what you 361 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:57,839 paid. But you know, plus we got like ten percent discount for twins. 362 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,319 But yeah, I mean so yeah, they just it's tough. But 363 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,440 you don't know, like when you have your first kid and that's going off 364 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,119 to college, you don't know. I don't know, do I know that? 365 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,319 Ask people or read on the internet what's best, But like my friends 366 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,200 all hired college counselors. Yeah, it's like, although I am super lazy 367 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,319 and love a shortcut and love to just hey, who's your pediatrician? Okay, 368 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,680 that sounds good. Then you researched. Great now I don't have to. 369 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,559 I've always been like that, but with this it was hard because everybody's 370 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240 kind of doing their own thing, and they all have a college counselor. 371 00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:42,359 So you do feel like I'm putting my kid at a disadvantage because I didn't 372 00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:47,240 even go to college. John hasn't hasn't gone to college, you know, 373 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,400 in whatever. However many years, like thirty years, twenty years, So 374 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:53,759 what the fuck do we know? You don't know how it works. Now. 375 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,039 All I know is like, oh, it's so competitive. And we're 376 00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:02,039 in California and she wants to go to a you see, and apparently it's 377 00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:04,680 really competitive. We didn't know what we were talking about. I didn't know 378 00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:11,039 anything about the common app and so although I was kind of hands off at 379 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:15,480 the beginning, because she would have a meeting with her counselor, and her 380 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:18,759 counselor would be like, let's I want you to make a list of things 381 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:22,160 that you want about a school, like and LB would be like a big 382 00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:26,440 school, a fun school, you know, and then she'd go like, 383 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,519 Okay, why don't you go look at some small schools, and LB would 384 00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:33,440 be like, Okay, I don't want to. So kind of early on, 385 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,160 I took over in the way of like John took her to see Berkeley. 386 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880 I took her to see Santa Barbara. In retrospect, I wouldn't have 387 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,240 taken her anywhere until she got in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but 388 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,079 I didn't know anything. The only thing that she told us that was like 389 00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:59,319 a value was oh, don't apply to like University of Wisconsin because they don't 390 00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:04,400 offer any financial aid. But like, other than that that she offered us 391 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:10,680 nothing of help. Yeah. All the information I got was from like other 392 00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:18,039 people's college counselors, which which was like, for one thing, here's some 393 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,480 information, and I told you this a long time ago, But our college 394 00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:27,039 counselor didn't tell us. Don't submit your scores, your SAT scores unless they 395 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,799 help your grade point average. If you're if you if you had an SAT 396 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,559 score that's like in the fourteen hundreds and your GPA is like three point five, 397 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,720 to submit your scores. If you have a g SAT that's like twelve 398 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:48,200 ninety, but your GPA is four point zero. Do not submit those scores. 399 00:30:48,359 --> 00:30:51,880 It hurts you, you know, stuff like that. Yeah, you 400 00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:53,920 told me that I remember, and that was good. That was a good 401 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,880 That was good advice. Yeah. But like other than that, this bullshit, 402 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,200 I know screwed my kid. And but the main thing was that this 403 00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:11,680 bitch did not know that the all ucs have impacted majors. It's such such 404 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:18,119 known information that I didn't know. That's why you pay somebody money. They're 405 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,960 supposed to say, Oh girl, your grades are good, but not that 406 00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:26,880 good. Don't apply with psychology. You have to have like insanely good grades, 407 00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:32,680 not only the best GPA, but like really good extracurriculars, like just 408 00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:36,240 having a job and and good rigor is not going to cut it for psychology. 409 00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:38,000 Yeah, yeah, you want to, You really want to go to 410 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:45,480 UCLA apply to something like gender studies or some more niche major. Yeah, 411 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,720 listen, all's well that ends. Well, she got to do community college 412 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:55,039 for only one year. Yeah, and now she's the happiest kid. And 413 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,799 now we don't have to pay for two years of college. Yeah that's nice 414 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,799 too. Our community college in California is free. Yeah that's nice, And 415 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,240 and it'll be free for an Italia to Now you have something called the Promise 416 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,599 Program. It makes it free. Yeah, just have to make sure she 417 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,839 applies to it, right right. Yeah, see that's the thing, like, 418 00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:20,759 well she's got this counsel now for all of that stuff for there, 419 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,759 you know, for Santa Barbara. So but there's just like a a thing 420 00:32:27,319 --> 00:32:30,839 that they have to separately apply for the Promise Program. It's nothing that special, 421 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,720 but it just means they have to be full time enough enough credits to 422 00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:38,720 be a full time count as a full time college student. Yeah, and 423 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,960 it's free, but it's like a separate it's another whole thing with like a 424 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,160 deadline and a separate application. It's not due anytime soon that I'm just saying, 425 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,200 Yeah, all right, all's well that ends. Well, yeah, 426 00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:55,240 that's great. So you went to stagecoach, ah, god, yes, 427 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,759 tell me everything. Well, I mean, like you know, I didn't 428 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:04,480 want it. I wasn't prepared to go. So last week when I was 429 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,240 hello, yes, tell us a last week when I was sitting house a 430 00:33:07,359 --> 00:33:12,359 crisis. Yeah, I was telling you I didn't have a place. I 431 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,799 had a house lined up and they decided not to rent it to put it 432 00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:22,680 back on the market to sell, and our house is escrow is done on 433 00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,839 May fifteenth, which means we have to be out of the house on May 434 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,880 fifteenth, which is in like two weeks. That's crazy. Yeah, so 435 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,079 no house to move in do so yeah, as of last week, I 436 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,759 sat here and I was panicking. When I went home, I got a 437 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,839 text from my realtor and he said, this new house just came up on 438 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,079 the market for rent, and it was in my budget. It's in our 439 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,920 neighborhood. It's like right up the street. It's what everything you need in 440 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,960 your house, you know, right around bedrooms, three bedrooms, bathroom and 441 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440 in bathroom and every room, which was nice, oh nice. Yeah. 442 00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:04,839 At first, for one second I was like, oh, it has a 443 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,199 bathroom, has one bathroom, he's got it's got three bathroom three and a 444 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,239 half. Like it's got three full bathrooms in each room and then like a 445 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,280 powder room. I love it. Yes, that's a lot of perfects. 446 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:21,599 Yes. And an office yes, and three three bedrooms and an office like 447 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,239 a small office. Oh nice. Yeah. So I was like, hell, 448 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,840 yeah, let's go look at it. So I went that day that 449 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,400 it got on the market. The guy was showing us the house as a 450 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:38,559 realtor. But his daughter owns the house. She's married and had boy girl 451 00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:45,639 twins, and she spent like two years upgrading this house, remodeling it, 452 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,360 like put like setting it up the way she wanted it. So like one 453 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,840 side of the house is the is the primary bedroom for her, like away 454 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,519 from the kids bedrooms on the other side of the house, you know, 455 00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:02,440 just like little thing and then open kitchen and ceilings and nice, yeah, 456 00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:08,840 really nice. And no pool but that's all right. So so his daughter, 457 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:14,119 but now it's daughter, he's got it. I know he's gonna miss 458 00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:16,480 being in the pool, but I'm gonna get him a kiddie pool and fill 459 00:35:16,559 --> 00:35:21,480 it up with water. I love that idea because I get videos of him 460 00:35:21,679 --> 00:35:24,760 at his place where he's hanging out at and she's like, you know, 461 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,599 it's it's fun time in the pool. And she's got like a couple of 462 00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:30,760 kiddie pools and all the dogs are just kind of like, you know, 463 00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:34,960 stepping in it and like, you know, frolicking. So I'm gonna get 464 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,679 him that. That's all he needs. But it's got grass, it's got 465 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,239 an enclosed backyard. So so I went and looked at it and she her 466 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,199 daughter. The daughter was going to move into it for her, but she's 467 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,320 got toddlers, twin toddlers, and she's overwhelmed her in her husband and they're 468 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,679 fine where they're at. So he's like, they were like, let's just 469 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,400 rent the house for like a year or two, which was perfect for me. 470 00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,519 So I'm like, okay, I love it. Like what do we 471 00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:06,920 do? It just came on the market, and my realtor was like, 472 00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:08,599 you're like, I gotta lock it down. I want to lock it down. 473 00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:14,800 And my realtor was like showing me comps of other rentals in the neighborhood 474 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,519 which were a little cheaper. You know. I was fine playing the price 475 00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:22,400 that they're asking, but he's like they should, you know, for houses 476 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,599 that are with a pool are going for like the same price than this house 477 00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:29,639 that doesn't have, like it should be a little less. And he was 478 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,800 like trying to negotiate, and I was like, no, no, no, 479 00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:35,960 don't negotiate, Like just just tell him we'll take the house. So 480 00:36:36,119 --> 00:36:38,480 he's like okay, yeah, okay, I get it. So we locked 481 00:36:38,519 --> 00:36:45,440 it down and I'm going today to go get the keys and get the house 482 00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:49,960 and then we can start moving in like this week, started to taking stuff 483 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,800 over and then I have, so it's totally empty right now, it's totally 484 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:59,559 empty, and it's like land spanking new. Nobody lived in it since they 485 00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:04,119 remained, Like the bathrooms are brand new, showers are brand new, like 486 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,000 wow, paint brand new, like it's just everything is brand new. Yeah. 487 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:15,360 Yeah, so so you saw it alone. Then Sonny met me there 488 00:37:15,559 --> 00:37:19,559 and he saw it and he liked it. And then Natalia couldn't because she 489 00:37:19,639 --> 00:37:21,639 was at work, so she's like, take video and send it to me. 490 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,840 So I sent her video. Told her there's no pool and she's like, 491 00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:27,920 I don't care. And the funny thing is the two bedrooms are a 492 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,880 little different, and Sonny likes the one he picked.

As most of you know, as our kids get older, some 503 00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:16,480 things about parenting get easier. But one thing that's difficult is dealing with the 504 00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:21,400 money stuff. And a lot of kids, as they get to a certain 505 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,360 age, they want to know like, hey, where's my money, And 506 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,519 they want to actually see money in their account, and they want to learn 507 00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:31,199 to spend money.

I left, Yes, So the girls 521 00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:45,039 left Friday afternoon after school and they got there. They left on their own. 522 00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:50,800 Yeah, they drove up there, and it's we got an airbnb and 523 00:39:51,079 --> 00:39:54,639 it was big enough for it slept ten people. Oh and there was seven 524 00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:00,639 girls total, including Italia. And I didn't want to drive my tesla. 525 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,239 First of all, I didn't want to look for a charging station. Second 526 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,360 of all, I can only fit five people in my tesla. So I 527 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:12,719 decided to rent an suv for the weekend, and Olga like drove me to 528 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,760 the airport to pick up the suv and drop me off. So that was 529 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,320 good. So by the time I did all that on Friday, I was 530 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,039 like, I was doing other things like at the house and stuff. So 531 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:30,159 I wanted to leave after traffic died down, so I drove up like I 532 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,360 got I drove left at like six and got there like nine, right, 533 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:38,840 So Natalia was keeping in touch with me the whole time, and and she's 534 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,639 like, you know, we're we're there, We're here now, we're going 535 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,599 to go to the concert and whatever. So they went to the concert, 536 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,760 and so you drove up with Melissa. No, so I drove up by 537 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,199 myself the first night. So I got there on Friday night, then Melissa 538 00:40:55,360 --> 00:41:00,440 came Saturday on in the afternoon. You drove up and then you went straight 539 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,599 to the Airbnb and just hung out until they got back and now and then 540 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,000 I picked them up from their shuttle. So they had shuttle passes this year, 541 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,760 which worked out great, so I'll it dropped them off at like the 542 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,000 Ramata Inn, which was four miles from the airbnb. I would go pick 543 00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:20,000 them up. The concert got out at like eleven eleven thirty. Wasn't like 544 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,440 all night long, which was nice. The first night they got out like 545 00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:27,920 ten thirty and I picked them up at eleven and they were home by eleven. 546 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,760 Yeah, it was nicely, they weren't like walking around and seeing people 547 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,440 from the Bachelor and no, the first well, they were They've been there 548 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,719 in the app since the afternoon, like they were there like I don't know 549 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:44,239 they oh, like Sin's five or something like that.
