19
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,079
very similar. Lerai am luxur lecturing
Katerina, and I'm the one who's like

20
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,599
not checking your molar, and my
dentist is gonna say, have you been

21
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:04,959
wearing your mouthguard at night? Because
I grind my teeth and I was religiously

22
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,199
and then I lost it and I
got a new one, and I'm you

23
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,800
know, okay, this is like, sorry, guys, wait for your

24
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,120
shouts. But you the kind that
you I buy them at Target. Yes,

25
00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:19,759
and you have to boil it in
the water, and then you have

26
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,439
to make them well, and it's
a whole cashaw. Yes, you boil

27
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:25,280
it for like and then you leave
it in the water for six minutes,

28
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:29,360
and then you scoop it out with
like tongs, and then you put it

29
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,759
in your mouth and you crunch down
on it for like three minutes and your

30
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:36,639
jaw hurts, and then you put
it in cold water for another like.

31
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,439
It's like a complicated recipe, right, It's like a recipe project. It's

32
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,479
like a science project, and then
you put it in and you're like,

33
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,280
it doesn't really fit that well really, so for all that, yes,

34
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:51,199
so then I kind of was wearing
it, but then I was forgetting,

35
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,840
and sure enough I didn't wear it
for like six weeks and now I have

36
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,599
a really got toothing. Now Looka's
got to check her Moler yep, sorry,

45
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:43,479
you. I'm trying to bring the
energy up because I h had a long

46
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,719
night last night. I didn't sleep
very well. Why what happened? What

47
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:51,319
happened? Well, Sunny left for
Japan this morning. Oh what time.

48
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,439
I had to drop him off at
his friend's house at six thirty. Okay,

49
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,520
okay, But the point is is
that his and leave until ten fifty

50
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:06,039
five. The one of she's going
with four other guys and one of the

51
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,240
dads is driving them to the airport. God bless him. So this is

52
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,000
not a school trip, no,
no, no, this is going back.

53
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:20,680
This is my gift to Sonny for
his eighteenth birthday. Yeah. I

54
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,959
decided, like, okay, this
kid never he hasn't. He's gone through

55
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,759
birthdays where I barely buy him anything, like, you know, like he's

56
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,040
just that kid, like I'm I'm
good. If I need something, I'll

57
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,279
ask or whatever. You know me. Yeah, he's like me, yeah,

58
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,759
yes, he is like you exactly. Yes, Oh, like I

59
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,319
don't need anything. Yeah, he's
fine. To see something I want,

60
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,279
I'll buy it, right okay.
So I you know, and then Natalia

61
00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:50,560
on the other hand, you know, she's jet setting the Cabo and Spain

62
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:55,519
and New York and wherever the hell. You know, She's always doing something,

63
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:59,720
you know. But Sonny, you
know, he doesn't ask for much.

64
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,800
And so it's eighteenth birthday and his
four of his good pals that he

65
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:09,120
grew up with are going on this
trip, like after graduation trip kind of

66
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,120
thing. So they were already planning
it. They were already planning it.

67
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,759
They told Sonny about it. He
wanted in one of them. One of

68
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,360
them is a couple of them are
big travelers. One of them is the

69
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,040
kid that dad was going to take
him to Egypt. Egypt. Yes,

70
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,879
so he goes everywhere with his family
all the time. He's been to Japan

71
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,720
a bunch of times. Anyway,
they got an airbnb enough for all of

72
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:36,360
them to sleep, and you know, they splitting it five ways, not

73
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,160
that much. And then he's going, you know, on his flight this

74
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:46,480
morning. So anyway, so the
point is his flame. His plane didn't

75
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:50,879
leave until ten fifty five am this
morning. And Sunny's a bad sleeper.

76
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,560
He's got insomnia and whatever, so
he's been staying up. He's been trying

77
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,199
to stay up really late at night. So last night he pulled an all

78
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:02,800
night or didn't go to sleep,
stayed up all night. Why because he

79
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,199
wants to be able to sleep.
The flight's twelve hours or eleven and a

80
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,639
half hours, so he wants to
be able to sleep on the plane,

81
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:16,920
and I don't blame him. So
he's like, I'm just gonna stay up

82
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,120
all night and then just get on
the plane and go to sleep. I

83
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,279
was like, all right, well, good good for you. And a

84
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,920
couple of his friends were doing the
same thing. Okay, so they were

85
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:30,319
all like, you know, hanging
out till late and then so anyway,

86
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:33,160
my point is is that he went
to his friend's house, but he told

87
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,720
me. He's like, I don't
know how long I'm gonna be there.

88
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:39,000
We're gonna watch movies and then I'll
come home. Maybe i'll come home.

89
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,000
I don't know how what time I'm
gonna go. And whenever he does that,

90
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,839
he walks everywhere because his friends live
walking distance, and I can't sleep

91
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,319
until I know he's either staying in
his friend's house or he's coming home.

92
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,279
So I was like, okay.
I went to bed at like ten thirty

93
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:59,439
eleven, and then I wake up
at one and he's not home yet and

94
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,240
he's at his friend friend's house.
I texted him and he's like, I'm

95
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,079
gonna come home soon. We're finishing
a movie. And I was like okay.

96
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,120
So then I'm like so then it
was just on and off all night,

97
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,439
and then he got home at like
two thirty. Then I don't know.

98
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:15,920
I fell asleep for a few hours, and then I woke up at

99
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,319
four and I hear him in the
kitchen and he's like making himself something to

100
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,160
eat. So I get up and
I'm hanging out, you know, I

101
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:24,920
don't know. It was just the
two of us in Italian's gone at her

102
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:27,680
friend's house, so it was just
the two of us hanging out. So

103
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,360
I don't know. I was just
spending time with them, with him,

104
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:33,040
and then stayed up with him and
got you know, he got himself,

105
00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:38,920
he took care of everything, packed
himself everything, and then I drove him,

106
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
dropped him off, and then I
went home and then I came home.

107
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,000
I took Phil for a walk,
came home, and it was only

108
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,879
like I don't know, seven twenty, fell back asleep, woke up at

109
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:55,439
nine, and that's why I was
late. Oh, because I can leave

110
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,199
at nine and get here early.
Really takes youo longer. It takes any

111
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,199
longer. Yeah, there's the traffic
on the one thirty four. As soon

112
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,879
as you get on the one,
it just stop. So anyway, that's

113
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:07,759
why I was late this morning,
but I couldn't believe I fell asleep.

114
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:11,240
Although I'll tell you what I was
watching later, But uh, I was

115
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:15,480
watching a documentary, but it just
lulled me right to sleep, and I

116
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000
didn't have my alarm, so all
of a sudden, I'm like, I

117
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,879
wake up. I'm like, ooh, what the fuck, I gotta go.

118
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,439
Yeah. So but anyway, he's
gonna be gone for ten days and

119
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,720
I'm hoppy. I'm happy for him, and I hope he has a great

120
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:33,519
time, which I'm sure he will. What a great eighteen year old birthday

121
00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:37,360
present. Yeah, it's hard when
the kids turn eighteen because you're like,

122
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:43,759
especially graduation gift too. Yeah,
it's a turn eighteen on the sixth,

123
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,879
and then they turn then they graduate
high school on the seventh, right,

124
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,279
one day apart, right, Yeah, it's like really like a graduation present.

125
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,000
It's like his graduation in eighteenth,
everything all in one. Buying my

126
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,279
kids' gifts gives me a lot of
anxiety. I started getting holiday anxiety,

127
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,720
like in the summer. I started
thinking, but their tastes changed so fast

128
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,320
that I'm like, I don't want
to get anything now. Remember last year

129
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,840
when I was all proud of myself
because I look, I found gifts for

130
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:15,840
them on Amazon, and I was
like, I'm gonna buy stuff early and

131
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,840
then you know, cut to like
those just some little things that ended up

132
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:22,039
being like stalking stuff first, right, I know, by the way.

133
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:28,240
One of them was this electric I'm
gonna this is gonna sound way better than

134
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:33,799
it was. It's like this drum. It's basically like a drum pad and

135
00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,960
and it like lays flat and then
but you can listen to it on headphones.

136
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,879
You plug it in and you can. Yeah, they've never used it,

137
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,639
you know. They both they want
big things. Yeah, I know.

138
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:50,679
Well I'm so glad like that that
time is over. I remember when

139
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,840
they were little, like little kids, and it's like did I get did

140
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:56,559
I get hurt? Too many things? And him not enough things? Oh

141
00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:01,440
yeah, like ugh, that was
just mad. Now it's just like you

142
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,840
know, money, have a good
day, you know, happy Birthday,

143
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:09,159
Merry Christmas. You know they're older
now, so I don't know, but

144
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,240
yeah, I mean, I'm I'm
I was happy to be able to do

145
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:18,519
that for Sunny loves Japan, that
kid. I love that for him.

146
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,039
I think he likes to travel,
that's the thing he likes and he likes

147
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:26,360
traveling by himself, and he likes
traveling with his friends. So and his

148
00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:30,360
friends went back and forth on where
to go for graduation. They were going

149
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,120
to go to Mexico, and he
was like, I'm not going to Mexico.

150
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,799
If they're gonna go to I'm not
going. He's because he's not a

151
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,399
fun in the sun kid, right, you know. So but then they

152
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:43,399
were like, I don't know.
Somebody was like took the rein it's over

153
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,360
and was like, let's go to
Japan. So that's uh, that was

154
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,039
my day. That's a lot.
I have not been sleeping that well myself.

155
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,039
I I just wake up on my
own. I'm happy if I see

156
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,200
a seven in front of the number
when I look at my phone, but

157
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,440
usually it's six. It's six something. I don't have to wake up that

158
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,840
early. Yeah, I'm not.
There's nobody's going to school. I just

159
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,720
I don't know what it is.
Time's not menopause because I went through that

160
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:13,480
a long time ago. What time
do you go to bed? To bed

161
00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:20,960
around? So if I'm usually tired
because I got up so early, so

162
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:24,480
now I get really tired, like
before twelve. So I have this weird

163
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:30,360
thing where I like playing these New
York Times games on my and they could

164
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,840
the new ones come out every day
at midnight. So it's spelling Bee Wordle.

165
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,519
Oh. Fun, there's a whole
bunch of them. Is it in

166
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,879
an app Connections it's you, Yeah, the New York Times. You go

167
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:45,840
on the website the New York Times. Yeah, And I ended up paying

168
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,600
twenty dollars. I feel like it
was two years ago. And then I

169
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,480
get access to all the game all
the games. That's fun. So I

170
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,399
mean wordles free. You can play
Wordle for free, but you can't play

171
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,840
anyway. It's so stupid. But
it's just a compulsive brain thing. So

172
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,320
sometimes I'll stay up until midnight,
but I'm usually tired by then. Yeah,

173
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,799
Like last night I was watching I
don't remember what I was watching,

174
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,600
something like Real Housewives of Orange County, and I just was at a certain

175
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,320
point, I'm like, this is
good, but I'm so tired, I'm

176
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,840
just gonna turn it off and I
went to sleep. John was out picking

177
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:30,000
Sadie up. I just my brain
goes off the air at a certain point.

178
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:33,679
But yeah, usually I'm up till
about midnight. Yeah, yeah,

179
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,320
me, and I'm up at six. Yeah, that's a thing. And

180
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:41,279
because it's been so hot, got
awful hot. Like I get up early

181
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,360
every morning to take Phil for a
walk just because it's good. It gets

182
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:48,919
too I mean even by like nine
thirty ten, it's hot in our neighborhood.

183
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,799
I mean it's blazing. Does Phil
bug you for a walk? Caw

184
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,600
will be? Does Phil bugs me? For uh? When he wants to

185
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,200
eat and for true eats sometimes not
necessary walk walking isn't really feels thing,

186
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,639
but he needs to get out and
get exercise and go for a walk.

187
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:13,559
It's good for me. I like
it and bonding with him. But he

188
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:16,240
he he plops down on the lawn, like I've said many times, he

189
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,559
just spreads out and then he overheats, and it's like and he wants to

190
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,000
go home. And if I turn
the corner, he stops and he doesn't.

191
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:28,159
He wants to go back towards house. Yeah, Penelope does that too,

192
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,360
Yeah, Penelpe's got this new thing. So I have this neighbor named

193
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:37,840
Mitch, who I've talked about on
this show, and Mitch and I oftentimes

194
00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,639
walk the our dogs together. He
has a little chuaha. So Mitch is

195
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,919
helping out a neighbor across the street
and he's bringing in their mail. And

196
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,879
so one day, like last week, he's like, Hey, I'm just

197
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:54,039
bringing in the mail. Do you
want to bring penelpe into their yard?

198
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,159
And Penelope can like play in the
yard and I was like, yeah,

199
00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:00,600
okay, whatever before we were going
to go for our walks. So Penelope

200
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,000
goes in the yard and then he
opens the front door of the house and

201
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,039
Penelope just walks in there and he's
like, oh, like, is she

202
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,480
gonna pee in the house? I'm
like, what is she a monster?

203
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:11,480
No, she's not gonna pray in
the house. But she had such a

204
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:18,159
great time sniffing around a new house. Yes, she was loving it.

205
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,360
She was like went into the kitchen
and then she went and looked in all

206
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,039
the bedrooms and I don't know if
she's getting doggie dementia and she thought maybe

207
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,440
it was her house that was full
of new smell. I don't know what

208
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,360
was going on in her head.
And I'll tell you why. Because we

209
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,600
go to leave and then every day
she walks up to the gate of that

210
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,279
house, but the gate's locked because
these people are out of town for like

211
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,519
six weeks, right, And I'm
friends with the neighbors. And by the

212
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,960
way, they wouldn't care if Penelope
walked in their house. There are friends.

213
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:50,600
But anyway, she walks right up
to their gate and like sits there

214
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:56,639
and won't move. Last night,
Xander and Lyla or Crocodile was sleeping at

215
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,840
our house. Last night went to
go take people for a walk, and

216
00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:03,720
they said they could not get her
to leave that house. She wanted to

217
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:07,440
go into the house and that she
wouldn't leave. They ended up having to

218
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:09,919
drag her back home. I think
they even called John. I was out.

219
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,320
So it's so strange. That's like
her new thing. And then I

220
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,879
brought her in again the other day
because he was going to check the mail,

221
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,960
and she was so happy to go
into their gate and then go in

222
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,279
their house. She went right up
to the front door and was like waiting

223
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:28,360
we opened the door, so well, I mean, you know, maybe

224
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,399
well, you know, I always
think like dogs, they must be bored

225
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,519
all day because then after the walk
they just sit there. Yes, and

226
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,080
I'm like watch TV with me,
so to come on, like, you

227
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,480
know, he gets in bed with
me every night and he you know,

228
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,600
and he lays right next to me
and I watched TV to fall asleep,

229
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,960
and I'm like, come on,
Phil, look look at the TV,

230
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,039
Like are you bored? Like I
just feel like what's going on in his

231
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,679
brain? I saw this video on
like Facebook or whatever. Somebody posted this

232
00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:03,279
video of this dog watching horse racing. So the dog's got its paws up

233
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480
on like this, the TV stand
face right in front of the screen,

234
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,320
and when the announcer's going, okay, they're to the gate or whatever,

235
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,679
the dog's getting like anticipation. The
tail's wagging. And then when the horses

236
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:21,600
go, the dog starts jumping up
and down. Its rear legs are literally

237
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:25,360
leaping up and down. I watched
it like fifteen times. I showed it

238
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:26,679
to John. I showed it to
my kids, and I was like,

239
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:32,399
why doesn't people get into the TV
show? She has no interests. I

240
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:37,080
know, I've seen some videos and
stuff where dogs pay attention and stuff even

241
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,200
when there's barking on the TV.
Like he doesn't even flinch. O the

242
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,279
same with you now, And it's
so funny, but like, yeah,

243
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,200
it's like, what what goes on
in his brain all day? Like he

244
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:52,480
must be bored. So maybe people
discovered a place like a new sense new.

245
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,480
You know, I don't know.
Maybe that is how bored she is

246
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,799
that she's like, oh my god, they nap me somewhere new. Yes,

247
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,559
but the problem is Penelope's old.
Now her leg's hurt. She doesn't

248
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,200
walk as well as she used to
do, and she does not want to

249
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,359
get in the car because she thinks
we're taking her to the vet. So

250
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,759
there's no real adventures I can take
her on, like I used to take

251
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:18,000
her for a hike years ago.
Julie and I used to take her dogs

252
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,759
hiking together. This dog could not
hike at this point. A it's hot,

253
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,119
but Bee, she doesn't even She
barely likes her walk. She's very,

254
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,160
very slow. She would not want
to be going uphill. That's sure

255
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,559
about playdates, because I had a
playdate for Phil this week. Oh you

256
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,720
did. Yes. My friend Jen
walks. She has a dog walking business

257
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,400
and she picks dogs up every morning
rain or shine, takes them on the

258
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,240
trails for like an hour and then
brings them drops them off. So anyway,

259
00:17:45,279 --> 00:17:48,160
she sometimes is like watching dogs for
the afternoon, and she does the

260
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,480
trails in my neighborhood sometimes. So
she brought two dogs over. One of

261
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:56,759
was her dog at chihuahua that was
humping Phil the whole time, but it

262
00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:02,000
was hilarious. And then this other
like mixed breed and they were just he

263
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,359
fill out a blest. He was
so happy when they came over. They

264
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,160
ran around for a while and tired
each other out, and then he was

265
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,720
like done for the day. And
I was like, this is great.

266
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:18,000
So I would one hundred percent do
that. That's a great idea. Plus,

267
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,839
that's basically like these doggy daycares that
you could drop your dog off for

268
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,200
the day and they go have fun
with other dogs. Right. But Penelope,

269
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,640
who I've told you is the sweetest
dog, will come up to any

270
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,680
human and just walk up and become
like a petting whore. Yet like will

271
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,680
not leave them until they give her
a pat. And she's fine with dogs

272
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,160
if we're out on the street,
she'll never bother another dog. Right,

273
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,119
She's more timid if you get a
dog in her, Like if they're together

274
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,279
in an enclosed place, well maybe
into somebody's yard, she would do better.

275
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,240
Yeah, you cannot have her in
the house with another dog, right,

276
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,039
she will go after them. Right, She's just super territorial. Yeah,

277
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,680
So then I then it becomes that's
another thing, you know. Then

278
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,279
it's a whole thing, Like I
don't know if she's gonna get along with

279
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:11,839
your dog, like right, so
right to stressful cold try it. But

280
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,920
yeah, yeah, that's why I
like, I've even thought about bringing Penelope

281
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:19,680
back when you would bring Phil sometimes
to the studio and I would think about

282
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,440
bringing Penelope. But then I'm like, I just don't know, Like Phil

283
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:26,880
will be like a big glof and
like have fun with Penelope, But I

284
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,799
don't know if Penelope is going to
be like following Phil around, like right

285
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:37,839
right, challenging Phil to a pissing
contest. Yeah, I don't know.

286
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:44,240
Yeah, listen, let's take a
break and talk about mint Mobile. I

287
00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:47,039
love it. I love a great
deal as much as the next person,

288
00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:51,680
you know, but I'm not gonna
crawl through a bed of hot coals just

289
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,359
to save a few bucks. No, it has to be easy, no

290
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,160
hoops, no bs. So when
mint Mobile said it was easy to get

291
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,000
wireless for fIF eighteen dollars a month
with the purchase of a three month plan,

292
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,279
I called him on it. And
it turns out it really is that

293
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,680
easy to get wireless for fifteen dollars
a month. The longest part of the

294
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,279
process was the time I spent on
hold waiting to break up with my old

295
00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:17,720
provider, and Caitlin, you're gonna
get jump on board this right, I

296
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:21,279
am. I've been thinking about doing
Midmobile for a long time because I think,

297
00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:23,640
like we've all seen those Ryan Reynold
commercials about Mintmobile and go, oh,

298
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:27,039
this this one looks interesting. And
many many years ago, I switched

299
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:30,440
from like a major carrier to you
know, the next one down, and

300
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:34,240
it's been working fine for me,
except the price. Now I'm paying fifty

301
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:37,880
five dollars a month, not even
for one of the major carriers, and

302
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,799
I'm going, what when did this
happen? And Mint Mobile's offering you know,

303
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,480
fifteen dollars a month. Yeah,
I think Mintmobile seems like a great

304
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,839
option. So when they came on
board, I was like, yeah,

305
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,079
I'll give it a try. I've
been wanted to do that, so I'm

328
00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:49,839
Sadie got her driver's license. I
saw that. Congratulations, Oh my lord,

329
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:52,960
which DMV did she go through?
Just carry? She went to one

330
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,960
net C Okay, good, Okay. So she'd been practicing and practicing and

331
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,119
practicing, and you all recall my
pain. I don't know when. It

332
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,240
was a couple months ago, six
weeks ago when she had an extra behind

333
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:12,079
the wheel lesson and the instructor came
back and was like, m is that

334
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,680
ready yet? No, I give
her a fifty to fifty chance of passing.

335
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:19,200
So we were like, okay,
we let the rest of the school

336
00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:22,279
year finish, and then we were
like, she's going to drive every day

337
00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:26,279
and then we're going to set a
date for her license. We set the

338
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:30,279
date for her license. Now,
her license, her permit was set to

339
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:37,319
expire on let's I think it was
July twenty sixth. Okay, so if

340
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:42,640
you don't get your license before your
permit expires, you have to reapply.

341
00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:48,359
You have to get your permit again. Right for my little ADHD girl,

342
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,400
who's going to have to then relearn
like because I read at written test.

343
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:56,759
Oh my god. So that was
going to be a nightmare. So we

344
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:03,480
plotted her driver's license day test for
to have enough room for if she failed,

345
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,200
then we could have two weeks.
Then we would be able to You

346
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:10,960
have to wait two full weeks and
then you can do it again. So

347
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000
we planned it so that there'd be
enough room for two weeks to go by

348
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,039
and she could take it again,
try again. Smart. I wish we'd

349
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:22,440
done it so that there was like
two more times, but there was.

350
00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:26,720
That was not to be okay.
So morning of it, John's going to

351
00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:30,720
take her to get her test.
Obviously that's not something for me and my

352
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:37,960
temperament. But of course I'm in
charge of making sure all the paperwork is

353
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,319
in order. I'm like, here's
what you need, here's the checklist.

354
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:47,799
You need the certificate from the online
test, which is staple to her permit,

355
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,079
and you need her permit, and
you need as you remember because you

356
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,359
had this problem. You need registration
for your car, registration plus proof of

357
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:03,480
insurance. Yes. So when LB
got her license years ago, she didn't

358
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,799
her name wasn't on the insurance even
though she was on the insurance right,

359
00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:11,599
but her name, it didn't say
her name on it. So she got

360
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:18,920
we had he John had to call
our broker and while you know, while

361
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,720
she's waiting, it was like a
whole thing, and LV was crying,

362
00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:25,160
and so he had to call the
broker and then she luckily it was during

363
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:30,680
the day obviously, and then she
had to email over something with her name

364
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,039
on it, okay, and then
she was able to do it. So

365
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:37,799
such a cushaw. Don't want that
to happen again. So he has the

366
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:41,759
card, he has everything he needs. I start recording a podcast with Cecily.

367
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:45,559
I'm recording like something for you know, the bat for Rose Pricks.

368
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,359
My phone rings during the time that
you know she's at the DMV. John

369
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,519
calls me. I'm like, bitch, now, I'm recording an episode right

370
00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:03,920
now, Like why are you calling
me? Right? So, but he's

371
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,119
got to be calling you for a
reason. Like first, so I said,

372
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,240
I text back, I text and
I go I'm recording right now,

373
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:12,359
and he goes, okay, never
mind, problem solved. I'm like,

374
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:18,960
okay, cool, yeah, cool
cool. Then he calls again. I'm

375
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,200
like, what is happening? That
a problem apparently not solved, so I

376
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:26,119
have to pause my podcast. I'm
like, I'm so sorry, Cecily to

377
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:33,039
my I was like, this must
be something must be going on. John's

378
00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:37,839
panicked. He's like, do you
know we don't have the there's a form.

379
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,759
It's a yellow form that is for
when they've completed their behind the wheel

380
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:48,480
hours with the direct Driver's Direct,
which is the company we use. Yes,

381
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,000
there's a form that they say has
to be and I was like,

382
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,799
I don't remember seeing that form.
I don't know what you're talking about.

383
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,240
And he's like, well, they're
saying that she cannot take her test about

384
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,200
that form the form for when she
was taking the instructions. What the So

385
00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:07,599
there's there's the one that they get. There's a certificate they get when they

386
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,359
finished they complete the online right,
yes, portion, Then they get another

387
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:18,440
certificate when they've finished their six mandatory
hours behind the wheel. That's the company,

388
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:26,200
right, Well, she completed them
and apparently they spoiler alert they had

389
00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:30,000
mailed it out to her. Oh, they didn't mail it out, so

390
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:33,640
they did mail it out, but
I don't remember getting it. I don't

391
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,960
remember. Later Elbie told me,
oh, yeah when we when I got

392
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,839
that in the mail, I immediately
stapled it to my because Elb's yeah,

393
00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:45,359
I know, yeah, not like
me or Sadie. ELB was like,

394
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,000
yeah, we that came in the
mal and then I attached it to my

395
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:52,559
permit and I know I had it
with Italia did that too, Yeah,

396
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:56,119
So but I don't know. I
don't remember it coming in the middle.

397
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,720
I feel like if something came from
Drivers Direct, I would have been like,

398
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:02,799
oh, oh this is important,
but I don't remember that. So

399
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,759
but I'm like, I don't I
don't know. So then I say,

400
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,720
can you call, well, call
drivers Direct, call the company and ask

401
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:17,839
and he's like, well, what's
the number. You have the ability to

402
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,640
google as well as I do.
But you understand hanging in your hands,

403
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:26,519
right, But he's stressing out.
Apparently Sadie's really upset. He's stressing out.

404
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:30,839
So I was like, all right, it's stressful because you get in

405
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,680
line and then you get up there
and then they it's just it's such you

406
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,559
know, you wait for a long
time. Your kid's like anxious, ready

407
00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:38,720
to get this over with. You
know, you're wanting to get this.

408
00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:42,519
It's just it's it is. It's
yes, Yes, it was aht of

409
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:45,720
thing. They'd started an hour before, they went and got coffee, and

410
00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:49,799
then they'd practiced driving, and they'd
already driven the route a couple of times.

411
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:53,759
So she's ready to go, right, So I said, so I

412
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:56,720
give him, I get him the
number. He calls. He's like,

413
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:03,079
Okay, they're gonna prepare a copy
of it, but I can't go in

414
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:07,000
and pick it up until after twelve
tomorrow. Okay. So I'm like,

415
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,599
okay, can email it to them
or anything you have to. And it

416
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,319
has it's like a yellow It's like
there has to be a form. I

417
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,519
said, okay, okay, He's
like, can you I said, well,

418
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:22,400
we have to make sure that she
we have to reschedule the test.

419
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:27,200
We can. We need to reschedule
it immediately for like tomorrow, maybe tomorrow

420
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,039
afternoon, so that because we still
need to she needs to have enough room.

421
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,000
Yes, if she doesn't pass,
to reschedule it for another two weeks.

422
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,559
So I go online, I put
the information looking for another test date.

423
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,680
Well, they'd have nothing for that
week. So this was on This

424
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:52,680
was last Tuesday. Yeah, okay, there's nothing that week in any DMV.

425
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:56,359
Look, I check Thousand Oaks,
Santa Monica, all of them nothing

426
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000
for that week. The only appointments
they have are for the following Well,

427
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,680
the following week would be too late
if she doesn't pass, right, so,

428
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880
because it wouldn't leave enough room if
she fails, even if it was

429
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,759
on that Monday, it wouldn't have
been two weeks until we could reschedule it

430
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:18,119
again. Yeah okay. So I'm
like, oh, this is not good.

431
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,200
This is going to be so much
pressure if she can't take it till

432
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,920
next week. She can't fail,
right, So I happen to have the

433
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:33,680
text, And this goes way back
to COVID. We're friendly with the guy

434
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:40,880
that owns drivers Direct because one of
those mom Mom Mafia things where one of

435
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,119
the moms got to know him and
got his phone number and then started passing

436
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:51,000
it like going just call this guy
directly. His name's Eric Creditor, and

437
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:56,079

00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:59,279

00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:03,839

441

443
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:22,359
have her form, blah blah blah. My husband says that you guys can't

444
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:26,119
get him another one until tomorrow,
after twelve. He writes me back right

445
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,920
away and he's like, I can
get it for you right now. Wow.

446
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,359
He's like, So he's like,
can you And he's in Chatsworth and

447
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,079
they're in Winnetka, so it's not
that far. He's like, we're like

448
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:38,240
ten minutes. He's like, which
DMV are you at? I said,

449
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,799
Winetka. He's like, we're ten
minutes from you. Wow. Have your

450
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,160
husband come over and get it and
see. I don't. I can't guarantee

451
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,839
they're gonna still take her though,
right she had an appointment. She had

452
00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:53,519
an appointment. He's like, but
then you could try to come back right

453
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,000
and see if they'll take her.
Yeah. Okay, So so I called

454
00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:02,720
John already on his way back.
He said Sadie's super upset. I was

455
00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:07,880
like, well, guess what turn
around, go to go to Chatsworth and

456
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,359
they're gonna make it for you,
and he's like are you sure? Are

457
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:13,599
you sure? I was like,
yes, I just talked to the owner

458
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,039
of the company. They're gonna get
it's gonna be there. So he goes

459
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:22,000
there sure enough. They're like are
you John, John and Sadie and he's

460
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:23,519
like yep. They're like, here's
your form. He goes, thank you.

461
00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:29,920
He goes back to the DMV.
Meanwhile, I am trying to still

462
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,440
do a podcast. Just gonna say, right, this is default parenting everybody,

463
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:39,119
This is this is DN default.
Yes, I'm here, Yes,

464
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:44,279
John's driving, and I understand listen, we're If John was listening to this

465
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:46,440
right now, he would have his
own side of the story. Yes,

466
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:50,759
it was a lot for him.
He's having to deal with Sadie being upset.

467
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:53,839
He's trying to do what I tell
him to do. But now he

468
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,519
goes back to the DMV with Sadie
and he's like, dude, the line

469
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,599
is long. We have to get
back in the line, like start over

470
00:33:04,759 --> 00:33:08,319
basically, And it had been like
twenty minutes the first time even with an

471
00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:14,160
appointment, right, So now he
doesn't even really have an appointment because it's

472
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,920
been it's been like at this point, like an hour and a half.

473
00:33:16,519 --> 00:33:20,319
Does he even know if once he
gets up to the line that they'll take

474
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:24,640
her? Noah, No. So
he's like, basically he had said,

475
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,920
meanwhile, let's make let's make an
appointment, you know. So that's when

476
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,720
I'm like, guess what, there's
no appointments. There's nothing else this week.

477
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,279
So I'm like, you better pray, and I go, you got

478
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:40,880
a beg and explain the situation.
Just tell them like that she's gonna it's

479
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,079
gonna be too much pressure. We're
not gonna have two weeks. Please take

480
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:47,039
her. And he's like, I'll
do my best, you know, got

481
00:33:47,039 --> 00:33:51,319
to get through this line first.
There's a lot of people waiting. Anyway,

482
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,920
I try to finish the podcast that
I'm recording, and then I'm like

483
00:33:55,119 --> 00:33:59,839
I text him, I'm like,
what happen are you through the line?

484
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:02,039
Like this line is really long?
Anyway. Finally he texts me a picture.

485
00:34:02,079 --> 00:34:07,160
He's like, we're on deck during
the line to take the test.

486
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:12,760
Poor Sadie is so stressed at this
point though, and I was even like,

487
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,480
I don't know if this is a
good idea for her to take it

488
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:21,679
like upset, you know. And
apparently I found out later she was.

489
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:27,079
He had her driving everywhere. So
she drove from the DMV after they didn't

490
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:30,840
let her take the test to Chatsworth
to go get good. Yeah, but

491
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,239
he said she became like this aggressive
driver. He said he'd never dealt with

492
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,280
that before I have, And he
said that he she almost got in an

493
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:43,440
accident. She like started driving fast
and she like swerved around somebody who was

494
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:46,440
like the pulled over. He was
like, yeah, no, no,

495
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:52,000
Sadie, I was scared for my
life. Do not ever do that again.

496
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:53,920
And then and then he said she
drove fine after that, but you

497
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:59,559
know, she was just anyway.
Anyway, all of this is like my

498
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,840
im having a heart attack, trying
to like talk about you know, the

499
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,880
Bachelor or whatever the hell I'm talking
about ninety eight on rights And meanwhile I'm

500
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,320
just waiting to find out. And
then he writes, oh, so now

501
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:15,960
he's giving me minute by minute.
I was like, well, what happened?

502
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,920
Because you know, they go off
with the driving test person and he's

503
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,000
like, okay, she's she's talking
to the guy. Yeah, they're talking.

504
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:27,920
They're back. He's like, they're
back. I'm like, okay,

505
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:30,519
they're back from her test. So
we're timing it. He's like, it's

506
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:34,519
supposed to it's about seven minutes,
but now it's been ten minutes. Then

507
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:37,440
it was twelve minutes. And then
he's like, they're back, and I'm

508
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,960
like, okay, what's happening.
And he's like, she's talking to the

509
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,440
guy. He goes, she doesn't
seem sad. I thought I saw a

510
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:50,360
little smile. And then he writes, oh no, and then I write,

511
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,960
oh no no. Because of course, now I'm like, we're fucked.

512
00:35:55,079 --> 00:36:00,239
We're absolutely fucked, because now we
the she she can't even do it

513
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,480
again, right right right. I'm
like, oh my god, oh no.

514
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Well at least I was like,
well, she'll have one more chance

515
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,199
to do it, and that's it. Yeah, But then he goes,

516
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,920
she passed. I's gonna say.
I was like, oh my god,

517
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,159
I'm gonna kill you. Yeah,
oh my god. I like that she

518
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:21,880
got aggressive. I mean, I
just meanwhile, she hasn't driven by herself

519
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:24,239
since then. I'm too scared to
let her drive by herself. I'm like

520
00:36:24,639 --> 00:36:30,039
that, I'm still nervous about her
weird driving. So I think I'm gonna

521
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:35,719
let her drive with Lbie even though
it's not legal, right, It's technically

522
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,920
not legal. They're supposed to drive, yeah, their provisionary license. They

523
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,000
can't drive with any friends in the
car. They all do it. They

524
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,440
all do it, and they have
to drive. The only way they can

525
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:52,559
drive is with a licensed driver who's
over twenty five by them, that's the

526
00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:57,239
only person they could be in the
car with. But I was like,

527
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,840
I don't know. I mean,
well, I think, you know,

528
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,719
I know that's the it's technically not
legal, but I'm probably gonna let her

529
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,519
do it. Yeah, And I
think Lby's a good person for her to

530
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:09,280
go with. Great person, Yes, And then I don't have to be

531
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:14,000
that could be a a to B
conversation. I see my way home on

532
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,239
my bed watching TV. It's like, let them, you know. And

533
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,320
and I think seems to me like
Elbe would have like a very like calming

534
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:27,199
presence, very calm, whereas you
might like, you know, so calm,

535
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,039
so calming. Yes, right,
yeah, but you would think John's

536
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:35,840
calming. And yet she freaked out
and was driving. Well I think that

537
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,960
was probably because well, First of
all, I the reason why I kind

538
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:44,000
of like it is because it seems
to be she's getting comfortable driving, Like

539
00:37:44,599 --> 00:37:46,960
yeah, now think about it that
way. Yeah, if she's she's getting

540
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,159
comfortable with the maneuvering of the car
and the you know, the the rules

541
00:37:52,159 --> 00:37:54,920
of the road. But yet she's
now panicking and trying to get trying to

542
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,480
get this you know, piece of
paper that she needs and you know,

543
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,559
so she's in her mind is kind
of going like, Okay, I need

544
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:07,239
to you know, get there.
So that's you know, I feel like

545
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,159
having a kid get their license and
you you won't know this yet, but

546
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,679
it's almost like childbirth in the way
of like, I know that I was

547
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,360
really nervous driving with LB. I
know I was nervous after she got her

548
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,960
license, but it's like I've forgotten
about it because now I'm really comfortable with

549
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,920
her driving and I don't think about
it. Right. So I'm sure I

550
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:32,880
was bad about Elbe and nervous about
her going places. Yeah, but now

551
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,559
I don't know if it's if it's
an age thing, but now my anxiety

552
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:40,840
it feels like it's tripled. It's
possible I felt that way the first time

553
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,400
and I've forgotten. Yeah, no, it's gotten worse. Well, first

554
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:51,519
of all, the good news for
there's good news for Xander, Like when

555
00:38:51,519 --> 00:38:54,559
he's ready, he's gonna be perfectly
fine. He's gonna have everything he needs

556
00:38:54,559 --> 00:38:59,159
as a DMV. He's gonna have
his appointments at the right time, like

557
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,800
smooth sailing for him. This sounds
this is going to sound so bad.

558
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,679
So I hope my kids don't listen
to this podcast. But I have a

559
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,639
feeling that Xander is just going to
be a good driver. Yeah. I

560
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:14,920
think he's just different than I'll be, and very different than Sadie in the

561
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:20,199
way that he's very calm. Yes, he's very smart, he's he has

562
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,360
very good instincts, yes, yet, and he's defensive, he's but he

563
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:30,480
has enough. He's very careful as
well. I can just see he's cautious,

564
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,400
but he's also confident, do you
know what I mean. There's a

565
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,840
lot of things about that I don't
understand why Xander isn't in more of a

566
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,119
hurry to get his yeah and that
his permit. I have a feeling that

567
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,199
he's going to be it's going to
be easier to drive with him. I

568
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,639
have a feeling as well, so
I'll have experience behind me and faith yes

569
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,440
in my child. Yes, let's
talk about something else. We have a

570
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:59,639
lot of faith in and that's Quint's. Oh we love Quince, Yes we

571
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:02,519
do. Ordering from Quince is almost
a religious experience. By the way,

572
00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:08,440
I bought, Yes, I bought
a jersey like let's like T shirt material

573
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:13,559
wrap around dress for the summer,
and I freaking love it. I actually,

574
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:16,960
I mean I live in it.
It's so breathable, so comfortable colors.

575
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,039
It's like an olive green army.
You talked about this, Yes,

576
00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:24,840
and I love it. I absolutely
love it. And you know, you

577
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,840
can go on there and get you
get yourself a wrap dress for the summer.

578
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,599
I love the fact that they have
so many colors today. Do they

579
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:36,039
have a lot of stuff, so
many colors. They got everything, They

580
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:39,519
got everything for guys girls. Yeah, and it's so inexpensive. You know,

581
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:44,519
there are these sites that they say
the same thing, they cut out

582
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:49,840
the middleman, but then it's not
actually inexpensive. Quince is actually everything is

583
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,760
such a good deal and it's good
quality. Oh yeah, I'm living in

584
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,960
my performance shorts right now. I
wear them. They're the first ones that

585
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,320
I wear when the Clinton laundry is
out. I have two pairs right now,

586
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,239
and I'm going to get a third
too, because I'm going to get

587
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,599
Why not? Yeah, I love
it. Why not? You can't beat

588

So I don't know if this is too

605
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,880
too long a topic to get into, because I want to talk to you

606
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:37,000
about about Sadie, Yeah, and
her ADHD diagnosis, which we talked about

607
00:42:37,039 --> 00:42:40,800
on Patreon. Right, I'll just
tell you about it now, Yeah,

608
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,960
tell me about it. I'm interested. Okay. So we talked about this

609
00:42:45,119 --> 00:42:50,039
on Patreon, a long Patreon about
it, but I felt like it got

610
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:52,559
such a big response from people.
I think a lot of people are dealing

611
00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:58,000
with this with their kids. So
the long and the short of it is,

612
00:42:58,119 --> 00:43:00,840
I had taken Sadie a few months
ago, I think I talked about

613
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,880
this on the Regular Show, to
a place in Agora, California that took

614
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,679
insurance and I got her the whole
all the testing to see what is happening

615
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:16,119
in her brain with her learning struggling
in school. Blah blah blah. Also,

616
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:22,599
her doctor had said she suspects ADHD, but all the tests that she

617
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,440
was doing on her and then you
know, they make the parents do a

618
00:43:27,519 --> 00:43:30,920
self report, and they make the
kid do a self report, and the

619
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,000
parents fell out a report and she
said, all the information still comes out

620
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:39,039
borderline for Sadie. She said,
I don't feel comfortable prescribing her medication.

621
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:45,000
Sadie's been saying forever, I think
I can't focus, I can't focus.

622
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:47,760
But I was like, I think
it's something else. I think that you

623
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,480
have maybe some kind of processing,
like maybe an auditory processing. That's what

624
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:57,599
I felt like, because I would
look at the symptoms of ADHD, and

625
00:43:57,639 --> 00:44:04,119
I'm like, she's organized, she's
a hard worker. She's if I tell

626
00:44:04,159 --> 00:44:08,800
her three things to do, she
does them like she's not typically like airheaded

627
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:14,360
or seems like she's not listening,
like right right right, But they're agree

628
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,159
with that. I mean, I
remember reading those symptoms with my kids too,

629
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,400
and I was like, you know, this doesn't match their personality.

630
00:44:23,039 --> 00:44:28,480
And I mean, I wouldn't call
I wouldn't say Sonny's got eighty HD at

631
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,039
all, but they did when he
was younger. But I think, I

632
00:44:31,079 --> 00:44:34,440
think, I don't know, it
could be something else. I don't know

633
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,039
if it's a processing I don't think
for him it's a processing thing. I

634
00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:43,679
just think that he tends to zone
out, but he also takes in the

635
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:49,440
information, which is weird. Well, so yeah, so and did well

636
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,320
on tests, so yeah, go
ahead, Like so, Sadie does not

637
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:58,719
test well at all. She has
a thing where teachers think she's not listening

638
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:04,840
because and though she is, she
gets over her brain gets overwhelmed very easily,

639
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,480
you know, if she's she can
only learn so much and then she

640
00:45:07,679 --> 00:45:12,159
just like I can't handle it well. So we did take her to the

641
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:15,199
place they did all this testing on
her, and we just got the results

642
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:20,960
back on July fourth. Okay,
And that is what I did the Patreon

643
00:45:21,039 --> 00:45:24,519
about, So the testing. Is
there anymore test results coming back? You

644
00:45:24,559 --> 00:45:28,199
got? No, we got everything. I just didn't tell you about the

645
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:34,559
other stuff because it was like she's
behind in certain air in certain grade levels.

646
00:45:34,639 --> 00:45:38,119
They this was like comprehensive testing,
right, but all of it was

647
00:45:38,199 --> 00:45:44,079
like normal, A little elevated here, a little below level here, blah

648
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:46,519
blah blah until it got to the
ADHD and then it was like off the

649
00:45:46,599 --> 00:45:52,000
charts. Well, and of course
I was like, okay, but how

650
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,440
do you know? And they said, it's basically scientific. They give them

651
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:00,760
these tests, they give them these
tasks to do, and then they increase

652
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,679
the complexity. So it's like,
okay, okay, you're gonna if you

653
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,039
see a if the light turns red, you're gonna hit the yellow button.

654
00:46:10,119 --> 00:46:14,159
And if the light turns yellow,
you're gonna hit the red button. Okay.

655
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,559
So first it's like every time the
red button lights up, you're gonna

656
00:46:17,679 --> 00:46:22,840
hit it. Then we're gonna change
it. They keep adding things, they

657
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,800
make it more complex, and as
soon as they made it more complex with

658
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:31,039
her, she couldn't do it,
or she would just do it but make

659
00:46:31,079 --> 00:46:36,559
mistakes and not even realize she was
making mistakes because her brain just wasn't it's

660
00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:39,480
like a scientific thing, and it's
all like kind of computerized. Yeah,

661
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:46,199
And they run them through all these
tasks and you could see where the reading

662
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:52,519
was like yeah, yeah, so
ADHD fo sure, And it explained a

663
00:46:52,519 --> 00:46:55,800
lot of things. And then I
asked the woman, the doctor, the

664
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,000
one that and I said this on
Patreon, so for you Patreon people,

665
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,360
bear with me. But the doctor
who who gave us all the results was

666
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,880
really cool, really knowledgeable, and
said she'll come be a guest on our

667
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:14,760
show. That's right, yes,
And she was like, listen, I

668
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:20,519
have ADHD. It's really obvious.
And I tell these kids like this can

669
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:23,800
be your superpower. You know,
you just have to understand yourself and understand

670
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:30,679
how your brain works. And I
told Sadie the news and she was overjoyed.

671
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,679
All she wants. All this kid
was like, medicate me, please

672
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,840
medicate me for this. And I'm
like, I'm not medicating you. You're

673
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:45,000
drug seeking, you just want stimulants. I'm like, it sucks a quick

674
00:47:45,079 --> 00:47:47,599
fix, right, like we all
do, like I love a quick fix,

675
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,239
and I get it. But but
I was like, if she's not

676
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:58,280
actually ADHD, I'm not medicating her. She drinks enough coffee. But the

677
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,119
doctor was like, listen, this
is probably foresure having to do with her

678
00:48:02,159 --> 00:48:08,239
prematurity and the way that her brain
developed, and like not that lots of

679
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:14,039
kids have this issue. Tons of
kids have ADHD, and I'm sure for

680
00:48:14,119 --> 00:48:16,159
all different reasons. But she was
like, I think with Sadie. It

681
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:22,079
was the brain development in utero.
You know, she wasn't getting enough oxygen

682
00:48:22,639 --> 00:48:29,000
blood flow because she was where she
was attached, was there scar tissue,

683
00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:37,159
and it changed her brain a bit
because you know, she hurt the most

684
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,320
of the oxygen and blood flow went
to her. I don't know if oxygen

685
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:45,760
comes, yes, because the blood
has oxygen. Again, I went to

686
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:52,760
medical school and I specialized in obgyn, but then I dropped out at the

687
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:54,960
last minute. I didn't do all
my hours, so you forget, you

688
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:00,599
know, exactly, so whatever to
like private high school, right right,

689
00:49:01,039 --> 00:49:06,159
So the stuff goes through the umbilical
courts. Stuff happened, happens, and

690
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:13,679
we can't explain w sideways. She
went sideways and she was like not eating,

691
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,559
and you know, blah blah blah. Xander got all the all the

692
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:20,760
blood flow. He was doing fine. He was attached in a perfectly reasonable

693
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,360
place. She wasn't. And they
said look out for when she's in school,

694
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,880
look out for learning differences, which
I did, but then we never

695
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:36,360
got the proper diagnosis. Okay,
anyway, she started meds and I'll tell

696
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,880
you so, we had the meeting
with her psychiatrist who was like I saw

697
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,000
the report. Yes, this is
such a clear cut I feel very comfortable.

698
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:49,639
I think she should. You should
try medication. We wanted to try

699
00:49:49,639 --> 00:49:52,159
it in the summer. We wanted
to try it as soon as possible so

700
00:49:52,199 --> 00:49:55,000
we can make sure it works with
her system. This is a kid who

701
00:49:55,039 --> 00:50:00,719
can drink so much coffee. I've
told you that if I drink a little

702
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,159
bit of coffee, Yeah, I
have this such a it's like a small

703
00:50:04,199 --> 00:50:07,199
cup of coffee. Any more than
that, I'm a total cunt. Yeah

704
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,719
yeah, like I can't help it. I'm just irritable, nervous, like

705
00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:15,679
more than I normally am, right, more hunty than usual. With Sadie,

706
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,320
she can drink like a lot of
coffee. She's told me she's never

707
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,239
really felt jittery. Well, John's
the same way, so they have the

708
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,760
same system. Yeah, that's yell. Well it's like there, that's their

709
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,400
makeup. You know. She can
drink a big cup of coffee at night

710
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,199
and go to sleep. My dad
used to do that. I think it's

711
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:37,239
her. I think it is because
she needs stimulants to make her brain work

712
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:44,519
better. So anyway, they prescribed
her a drug called a Starry, which

713
00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:50,159
is a new brand name drug,
which when I went to CBS to fill

714
00:50:50,199 --> 00:50:53,320
it, they wanted me it was
it's four hundred and ninety five dollars a

715
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,920
month. Okay, obviously I'm not
going to be paying that so but the

716
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:02,920
doctor said, yeah, they had
a coupon brought it down to twenty five

717
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:08,599
dollars. Wow. Yes, Otherwise
I would have just gone with an older,

718
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:14,519
a drug that is off brand now
that has a generic. That is

719
00:51:14,519 --> 00:51:19,480
what I'm trying to say, like
Concerta. But anyway, she and of

720
00:51:19,559 --> 00:51:22,280
course I was like, do they
make a non stimulant version of this?

721
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:27,039
And she said they do, but
that is not the gold standard. That

722
00:51:27,159 --> 00:51:30,639
is not that is what we go
to if the kids can't handle the stimulant.

723
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:35,760
So sounds like I don't know if
anybody out there is judging me for

724
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,760
putting her on medication, but guess
who Guess what? This shit is a

725
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:43,880
miracle drug. Even though it's summer
and there's nothing for her to really focus

726
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,599
on, started her on the meds. She read a book in two days.

727
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:51,679
Oh, because I told her that
if she wants to be medicated for

728
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,079
ADHD, she also has to do
things on her own. It's not it

729
00:51:54,199 --> 00:51:59,480
isn't just a quick fix. You
have to read because you've gone all this

730
00:51:59,599 --> 00:52:02,039
time reading because you hate it and
you have no tolerance for it. But

731
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:06,280
if I think it should be easier
for you to read, but you're it's

732
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,559
a muscle. Yeah, you're gonna
have to start reading. So she read

733
00:52:09,639 --> 00:52:15,079
Thirteen Reasons Why in two days and
now she's reading Dear Evan Hansen and yeah,

734
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:20,039
and she doesn't feel any different on
the medication. So we were talking

735
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:22,639
about it and I was like,
you don't feel stimulated at all, and

736
00:52:22,679 --> 00:52:25,800
she goes, no, I feel
the same, and she goes, but

737
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,159
I did read a book in two
days. And I was like, well,

738
00:52:29,199 --> 00:52:34,840
there you go. It's working.
Wow, that's amazing, that's great

739
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,519
news. Yeah, I am telling
you she's like sharper, do you know

740
00:52:40,559 --> 00:52:49,000
what I mean? Like there's something
she's she's more like quicker responses, but

741
00:52:49,159 --> 00:52:57,119
doesn't seem at all nervous or right
or speedy's net service. What do you

742
00:52:57,159 --> 00:53:00,599
call it? The central nervous system. You know it is probably because,

743
00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:05,360
like like you said, with the
caffeine out effects her doesn't really affect her,

744
00:53:05,639 --> 00:53:07,800
so you know, it's probably in
the same category. Or so I'm

745
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:13,159
still letting her drink a bit of
coffee for any because you know why she

746
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:15,079
I tried the first day. I
was like, okay, the no more

747
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:19,400
coffee. You're on a stimulant.
Of course, got a caffeine withdrawal,

748
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,039
a headache. So I was like, all right, let's let's wean slowly

749
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:27,360
have coffee. Right. She makes
herself like a three shot three shots of

750
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,000
espresso. She used to do that
for school. Wow, and feel fine.

751
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,079
Yeah, well you can't argue with
success. She was getting good great,

752
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,960
So I was exactly, do what
you gotta do, sister, exactly.

753
00:53:38,159 --> 00:53:42,159
So what did they say, what
the side like, any side effects

754
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,079
or anything. She's not having any
side effects. She feels fine. And

755
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:50,400
do they they say like to stay
away from caffeine or like any other I

756
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,559
mean, is there any like?
She just like, don't she shouldn't be

757
00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:55,559
drinking a bunch of coffee because she's
on a stimulant. It could be like

758
00:53:55,599 --> 00:54:00,159
bad for her heart, you know. So she has cut down, but

759
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,000
she can. She's having a little
coffee and like, I don't know,

760
00:54:04,039 --> 00:54:08,320
but it's great. So for anyone
out there on the fence, Yeah,

761
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:13,880
this is a success story so far. Well now I'm starting to wonder because

762
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,920
you know, Natalia has complained about, you know, being able to focus

763
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:22,199
and stuff like that at school,
and so now she's always struggled a bit,

764
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,119
she has, and but she's never
really been proper diagnosed. You should

765
00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:29,239
take her to this place. I
think I'm gonna I'm gonna look into it.

766
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,800
Yeah, And she said before,
she's like, maybe I need medication

767
00:54:32,519 --> 00:54:37,159
because of course, like her friends, some of her friends are on it

768
00:54:37,199 --> 00:54:39,480
and stuff like that, and she's
like, I think maybe I need something

769
00:54:39,519 --> 00:54:43,440
like I And I was like always
like no, just you're doing all right.

770
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,960
You're doing all right. I don't
need medication. But now hearing this,

771
00:54:46,119 --> 00:54:51,159
like, I would love to have
both of them tested. It's called

772
00:54:51,519 --> 00:54:57,559
Diagnostic and Counseling Center and it's in
a Gora, Okay, California. For

773
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:00,840
anybody that is wanting to rench out
to me. They do take insurance and

774
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,800
they take insurance. Yeah, that's
amazing, very hard to find places that

775
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,719
take in now, so I love
the whole thing. Cost us fifty bucks.

776
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:15,360
Wow, isn't that crazy? It's
crazy? Yep. I'm gonna start

777
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,960
to finish. I'm gonna do it. I wonder if I can get them

778
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:22,320
in before school starts, you might
be able to. Yeah. I mean

779
00:55:22,519 --> 00:55:25,480
when we did it, we got
her in in like three weeks to a

780
00:55:25,519 --> 00:55:30,840
month. Okay, when does Sunny
leave for school. Sunny leaves it that

781
00:55:30,039 --> 00:55:36,519
like towards the end of September.
She leaves at the end August. Okay,

782
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:37,559
so I gotta get on it.
It doesn't have to go until the

783
00:55:37,639 --> 00:55:43,840
end of September. Now it's community
college, so that's when they start out

784
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,239
there. Okay. Yeah, LB
doesn't go till the end of September either,

785
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:51,760
that's nice. Yeah, all right, this is great news. I'm

786
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,119
so happy you shared that with us. I bet a lot of people are

787
00:55:54,119 --> 00:55:59,559
gonna get a lot of, you
know, helpful info from this. Yeah

788
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:02,239
and bye. By the way,
Sadie gave me permission to talk about it.

789
00:56:02,679 --> 00:56:06,480
Yeah, she had given me permission
to talk about it. I still

790
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,400
felt like it was a little bit
private, so I talked about it only

791
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,119
on Patreon, but she said,
if you want to talk about it on
