you Raine, Hey, everybody, what's up? Welcome to for crying out
loud. It's a great day today, it's nice out. Yesterday, I
mean all weekend it's been pouring rain NonStop. In fact, I had to
go take Phil out of the house because we had another showing on Saturday and
I had to walk. I didn't think it was gonna rain. It was
just cloudy. So I took him for a walk and it started pouring rain,
and then I had to wait in the rain for them to be done
with the showing. So now I'm like trying to find like trees to hang
out underneath, and I'm not I'm just getting pummeled. And I don't have
like a rain jacket. I have a rain I have a waterproof jacket with
a hoodie that's cloth. What good is that doing me? Oh? Really?
Yeah? So I'm just getting like and Phil is just a like a
coooch alone because he doesn't want to move. He doesn't like the rain.
It's in his eyes. I can tell he does. He's not happy.
So we keep stopping. I keep trying to pull him along, and then
we were waiting for the people to leave out in front of the house,
and he's like, why are we standing out here? Can we go inside,
Mitch, Let's go inside where it's warm. I'm like, we can't,
Phil, we gotta wait, we gotta hang out here. So yeah,

The rust armorer Hannah Gutierra is sentenced to eighteen months in prison for involuntary manslaughter.
Wow. Yeah, well she was the one in charge of the the
bullets and the gun. Yeah, what do you call that job? Murmur?
Yeah, he said that. Yeah, well eighteen months. Some weird
stuff has been coming out about Alec Baldwin. Oh really, he's not sounding
all about innocent, Like he that he was acting very erratic on the set
and screaming and yelling at people, and that he insisted that that Hanna woman
be hired even though people were like, no, she doesn't have any experience,
nobody trusted or she was like young and very very inexperienced. That's not
anybody like give to anybody, you know. But I don't get is why
would there be live rounds? Why would they be live bullets in these guns.
I don't know what I mean, Nobody in this room knows that there
should never be live rounds on a set. That's there's no reason for that.
It's it's great, Yeah, it's it's very weird. But also Alec
Baldwin was not supposed to be shooting the gun apparently in the scene, and
he shot it anyway, and then his excuses while he thought they were blanks,
but in that scene, he wasn't even supposed to be shooting the gun.
That's what I read, like, don't I wasn't can kill you know?
Yeah, just ask like Eric Christian Heckerson. I don't know there was
an actor in like the eighties that died blanks. And then also uh Bruce
Lee Soon Brandon, wasn't he from some blanks? So yeah, I don't
know. It's weird. Yeah, yeah, do you remember my Alec Baldwin
story? No, you have an Alec Baldwin story. Okay, I think
this is going to be familiar, but you know, since you have my
memory, maybe it won't. So years ago, I was working on Hollywood
Squares about this, remember, Oh I remember Center Square. So I was
a joke writer on the Hollywood Squares great job. Great and also terrible job
at the same time. The reason it was great was because my whole job
was basically there were people that wrote the questions. So I don't know,
if you remember how Hollywood Squares goes, There's celebrities and then they have to
answer questions, and the questions are worded in such a way that there could
be a funny joke, you know, but they're like true false questions,
but they could also be like in nineteen eighty, what guy, and then
it'll be like a funny quote, I don't know whatever, and then so
then we my job. So there were like five of us writers. So
the question writers would write us a ton of questions, and then we would
have to take all the questions and just throw out a joke for each of
them. So you had to try to come up with at least a joke
for at least one joke for every question. If you really think of something,
you could leave it blank, but you tried to think of something.
But a lot of times I didn't even have to go in or I could
come into the office, print out a whole batch of these jokes, and
then I could just go home, lay on my couch, like watch TV
and like try to think of funny stuff. Then I'd go back in either
that day or even like the next day, and just input all of my
answers, so each line would have a different writer's answer. Then we would
have these meetings, and Henry Winkler was our executive producer. Oh what a
nice guy, and he's the super nicest guy. So we would then have
these meetings for the script, and what it would be is you'd look at
the script and each question would have like five choices, and then we'd all
pick together what we think the funniest. It wasn't it was a little unseemly
to be fighting for your own joke, but sometimes it was just really obvious
which was the funniest one. Right, We'd all crack up and be like,
Okay, so Dave's joke, or you know, John's joker, Stephanie's
joke. And I worked, I shared an office with this guy named John
Max, not John Max John, Oh my god, I just forgot his
last name. John Max was another writer. I shared an office with this
guy named John and he was so funny, super sarcastic and like pissed off
all the time. But like would make me laugh so hard. His jokes
were always like, to me, the funniest, and at a certain point
our boss just didn't like us that much. And I don't know why he
was. It doesn't matter why, but he would oftentimes just pick his own
joke the head writer uh huh, or his friend's joke who was like anyway,
So John and I would always be pissed well when it came time.
So then show day we'd get assigned celebrities and we'd have to go in there
in the room, like let's say it was Rue I had Rue Paul once
and you'd have to present them. They'd look at their question and then they'd
look at the possible joke answered, and sometimes they would be like, I
don't want to say that right. The joke would be. I remember one
time Rue Paul was given a joke and the joke was like a fat shaming
joke. It was like something about forkfuls of cake, like shoving forkfuls of
cake in their mouth. And I when when in the meeting, I was
like, I don't think somebody, I don't think anybody's gonna want to say
that it's mean, and but are what would happen is they'd say, you
have to you have to present them with that joke. Okay, so we
didn't really love our boss. I once did an entire Patreon about this guy
and then had to take it down because somebody that knows him I knew,
had listened and I got really freaked out and made And this was years ago.
So but anyway, it's enough, time has passed. Whatever. We
didn't like this guy and he had he had mean taste in jokes, and
so anyway, I had to go to Rue Paul present the joke because if
you didn't present the joke, you'd get in trouble because they print, they'd
give them a card, and only the joke that they chose was on the
card. So what you would have to do is be sneaky and remember the
joke a better joke, right, and then go if they if your celebrity
was like I don't want to say that, then you'd be like, oh
how about this? Yeah, and then they'd be like, oh I like
that joke, So you'd write it in right. Well, if the celebrity
did the other joke, our boss would come and find you, hunt you
down after the segment and be like, why the fuck did that person do
that joke? That was a We eliminated that joke, right, and then
you'd have to be like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. But
like RuPaul did not want to say that joke so that it was the only
thing I could think of off the top of my head. I just remembered
it right, right right, and you know he'd be mad at you.
Yeah. Anyway, every week we had a different celebrity as our guest Center
Square, So like we had Ellen DeGeneres a lot, and I think I
told you I got to. I shook hands with her once and she had
the like cold fish you know when somebody reaches out when you reach out your
hand, or they reach out their hand, but then their hand is completely
limp, right and cold, like they don't want to be touched. And
then you're like, well then don't put your fucking hand out. Yes,
yeah, it was like that. It's basically like you barely touched her hand
and then she pulled it away right. Yeah. And she had her own
on set writers, okay, but I would but sometimes I would write her
jokes and they would put mine in the mix and she would pick them,
and then I would have quiet pride, right because she wasn't allowed to know
that the show writer wrote her those jokes. Anyway, I was friends with
the two girls that were her writers, Karen Anderson and Karen kil Garriff,
Karen kil Garriff of My Favorite Murder. Okay, okay, okay, anyway,
it's just a little I'm just adding a little judging the story a little
bit for to tell you some other stuff that went on there. Yeah,
okay, so it's a big deal. The big the main celebrity was kind
of a big deal, like and they were only they only got to be
briefed by our boss. They were not allowed anywhere near like the main person.
I got to like sometimes talk to Kathy Griffin or like I said,
uh no, he wasn't on anymore, although I love him, but this
was the one version past that. Okay, we had so no shadow Stevens.
Right, I'm trying to think who we had because I'm trying to remember
who were who was in our squares, but like, uh oh, I
mean I think Wayne Brady was there. Sometimes it was like more newer people,
But what's the bionic woman Lindsay Wagner. Uh huh Lindsay. I had
her one time, Lindsay Wagner, and she was on something really but she
was so out of it. And then Loretta Swit, Oh yeah, I
came in and one of them, I think it was Loretta swis hot lips,
like stole lamp from the drug. I am not kidding you. Some
crazy shit happens with like suit kind of celebrities. That's weird. All.
Lindsay Wagner was famous for, by the way, at that time, was
doing mattress commercials and I just remember that, like she was so out of
it, like slurry her words. I had to go report it. I'm
like, I don't know if this bitch is going to get through the show.
Hopefully she doesn't get called on. Hopefully nobody goes to like the right
Center Square. Yeah. Anyway, Alec Baldin's our Center Square this one week,
and I'm not allowed anywhere near him, but we've all written him pretty
good jokes and he tell he told is the boss basically he didn't like any
of the jokes they picked for him, which neither I didn't get any jokes
in for him, because, especially when it was a bigger star, our
boss would only want to put in his own jokes so he could like he
just needed to pee on every thing so that it was like all him,
you know, and we were like me and my friend, my friend John
in our office would just be like, what the fuck, Like these jokes
are terrible. He's not going to like any of these jokes. He's like
a smart, funny guy, right, you know, say what you will.
Yeah, he's married to like a fake you know, somebody who's fake
hispanic. Yes, but Larry, he's a little crazy, but like he's
not going to go for these stupid ass jokes. Well, sure enough,
our boss, you know, red alert nine one one, everybody, all
hands on deck, get in here. Alec doesn't like any of the jokes
I presented, any of the jokes we wrote. Were like, you mean
you wrote yes while having like a four martini lunch with your other producer.
So we start pitching we have to, but he doesn't. His The thing
about this boss is he couldn't acknowledge that other jokes had already been written that
were better. So like the jokes that I laid on my couch and wrote,
not interested in those. It had to be something like you need to
now think of something up the spur of the moment, and we'd be like,
well, the best joke is already taken, we already wrote it,
so then, but he'd get super mad if even if you fought for someone
else's joke, even if I was like, listen, John wrote a joke
I saw, It's made me laugh so hard. Let's give him that,
he'd be like, no, come up with something else? Wow? So
what else did this guy do anything else? Or is it just game shows?
He's done a lot of award shows, okay, which I don't know.
I mean, he's not He wasn't funny right right. I think when
I told this story on a Patreon and it was years ago, so it
was closer to the time it happened. Uh. His his taste in jokes
was like everything was the joke was about a happy ending, like at a
massage parlor or a lap dance, so like, you know, that was
the level of the room all the time, where you'd be if you'd if
a joke could fit in, if you could, if you could horn in
a happy end day and to it, he would for sure or want it,
you know. Yeah. Yeah, we were always liked dude frat boy
humor totally not smart, funny, edgy humor. Anyway, So Alec Baldwin,
I'm sent in to talk to Alec Baldwin, or we're all sent over
to like pick some jokes to Alec Baldwin. Well, he takes I'm not
trying to I'm not bragging here, but he takes one look at me and
he's like staring me down, really flirty, and he's like, I want
her, I want her to come. And so then boss by telling us
this you do or don't know? Oh my god, so my boss gets
like kind of pissed because you know, but it's like, listen, this
was a lot of years ago. Okay, so this was pre even having
Lbie. So this is more than twenty years ago. So I was like
a lot cuter, you know. I was a cute young girl who happened
to be the only girl writer on this team of guys. Like I wore
makeup to work and like dress kind of cute, especially on show day.
Yeah, because I was going to be mixing it up with like you know.
So anyway, so he's super blatantly though, like he's not subtle at
all. He's just staring at me, and I was really uncomfortable, also
very flattered because I'm like, I'm like and then I say to my other
friend, I was like, this is not my imagination, right, and
he's like, oh no, he's being like it's kind of gross, and
I'm like, I know, but it is Alec Baldos. Yeah. Yeah.
So then I have to go in and I have to basically I don't
know if I was alone with him. I think my boss insisted on coming
with but anyway, then I leave and then apparently he told my boss like,
can you send her in again? I need to talk. I need
to talk to her. And I was like, oh no, I mean
I must have. I must Yes. I was already like with John right,
yeah, very much, very serious, so I knew I wasn't going
to be like running off to with Alley. And also he's like quite a
bit older than me too at the time too, I was just like,
Also, he wasn't It's not he wasn't the cutest Baldwin by any stretch.
Like he was already right, you know, he was already like in his
later Baldwin years, so right, like and he must have been he might
have been married, right or had a girlfriend like whatever it was. It
was not cool, but it was flattering. But it was really funny because
so then I was trying to kind of avoid you know, so I like
I had to go in there and pitch him the jokes, and he'd just
be staring at me really blatantly, like uh huh uh huh. And then
anytime I would walk past him, he would just be staring me down.
And it was pretty funny. It was very memorable. Nothing happened, right
right. He didn't ask me out or try to get my number, but
I was I'm sure he would have had I gone and talked to him or
gone to his dressing room alone, I'm sure he would have, like it
was real, real obvious, right right. Wow, So that's your Alec
Baldwin. Yeah, I mean I guess it doesn't have like, oh is
the remort of this story. Yes, I had sex with him on the
dressing room floor, which I kind of regret. I don't know, do
I. I mean it made for a story. I was a floor fucker,
and John totally understood. He was like, well it's Alec Baldwin.
Yeah, but he was like, gave you a pass. Yeah, but
couldn't it have been Billy Baldwin, who's supposed to be crazy. Yeah,
speaking of crazy, if you feel a little bit crazy, you're in luck
because our sponsor for today's podcast is Better Help. Yes, listen, everybody

You know, I know we usually save stuff that we're watching or listening
to for our Friday show, but I just wanted to say that because We've
talked about this so much, but so many years ago, I was desperate
for a podcast to listen to. Yeah, and I remembered how much I
used to like the podcast Locked Up Abroad, which is the podcast of the
TV show Love that Show. Yes, so I was. I listened to
all the back episodes you did been very compulsively like binging on things. Yeah,
And I kept thinking that I had to bring this up to you guys
that every c every time they these people they somehow get sucked into like drug
smuggling, and it's always like the person's like, listen, it's a little
scary trying to get through the airport, like with the jobs on you you
know, but like it's so rare that you're gonna get caught, right,
I can't imagine being it that sounds. I'm I consider I feel somewhat of
a badass, right, somewhat of a risk taker, like, you know,
even though I am chock full of anxiety about things, and it's gotten
worse as I've gotten older, But even when I was younger, Hell,
no, are you kidding? Imagine fucking a lot of money, how how
how and these people they seem to kind of get off on the fact that
they're like, I mean, it was so scary, and I was like,
you know, terrified, but it was the most exciting exciting, No
fucking away, I would have been like, hell, five thousand dollars for
yourself. I can't imagine showing up at the airport. And it's always in
a way that it seems like it could be found. Like you know about
the fact that they take these bricks and they just tape it to your body
and and they just and it looks like you're like the michelin Man walking down
the you know, down the corridor of the airport, like give me a
break. And also you're sweating, and because you imagine just having just forget
about drugs strapped your body, how about just take duct tape and just just
wrap your whole legs and torso and arms with duct tape. That's got to
be uncomfortable alone, right Like, and then you add in drugs. No
fucking way would you ever pay me any amount of money in the world in
the world, right, you could not pay me. I love that show.
I love that show. And also a lot of times you have to
do two it's two sets of customs, like you have to go through the
first customs to get in there. Then you land and you got to go
through customs again, and hope they don't nail you, right, you gotta
hope there's no drug sniffing dogs. The only one that seemed doable, not
to me, but I mean when they were swallowing it, right, So
they're Jemi's balloons of like heroin, and they were swallowing them. But so
the girl is like. The guy's like, Okay, you're just gonna have
to swallow the heroin. It's like pretty easy. You want to just try
it. You want to try it, and she's like, nah, not
thanks, you know, and then I don't know what it's like. Later
in the night, he's like, oh, it's really fun, and you
know, she's like, all right, I'll try it. So she's able
to swallow one of the balloons of heroin, and then she's like, well
that wasn't so bad, all right, I'll swallow three hundred and fifty more.
N It's like these tons and tons of balloons of heroin in her stomach.
And then she gets to the airport and somehow she realizes that she's high,
not because one of the things burst in her but because something where she'd
gotten some kind of she'd had to lick something and she'd got yeah, oil
on her hands, and so now she's high and she's like, can't leave
anything behind because she's like it's all in her body, right, And then
my mind just goes, are you kidding me? She's like, I was
so scared to shoplift when all my friends were like, we're shoplifting. Try
it. I couldn't escalate it. I know, I told you this story.
The only thing I stole and only because all my friends were doing it
was like this little figurine out of a Hallmark store in the mall, right,
I got away with it, and then I was like, that was
when I was sixteen. I also got busted for shoplifting. But I was
really young, like seven or eight, and I was stealing penny candy from
the Woolworth and I'm putting it in my pockets and then the security guard busted
me and I peed my pants. We have all heard that story if this
is, but I'm talking at an age where I absolutely knew better. Yes
I was. I did it the one time. I was like, I
proved myself, you know, right, I proved myself. I got in
the gang, and then I was like no more. These girls used to
do these like mastermind things where they would go to a department store and like
go in the changing room and put on like four bras and then put their
shirt back on over it and then leave. Yes, and I friends would
do jeans, put jeans on, and then and then put like sweatpants over
the jeans, like yeah, just crazy. I would never I just my
stomach would hurt at the thought of it, because it's always like I would
get caught. Yeah, and if I, oh, I just the thought
of It's not even the moral aspect of it, because I'm sure, knowing
myself could have talked myself now now it would be the moral aspect as a
teenager. I don't think it was as much like, oh, it's wrong
to steal as it was like, Oh, I'm gonna get caught and that's
gonna be horrible. I know. What I don't understand is you're what you're
listening to locked up abroad. Don't you want to see like the panic and
the sweat in their eyes and like the it's all dramatic recreations. Probably it
is, but still it's still good, like you know, you see like
them strapping the drugs to the body and then then well, I guess a
lot of it too is kind of gross when they have to like go and
throw it up or they are shitting it out and stuff like that was literally
only one story. Yeah, but there's a lot of those stories. Yeah,
a lot of them are. Some of them are kidnap cases though,
where they get you know, where there's Malia pirates. Yeah, but it
is based on people smuggling drugs and then getting busted. Yeah, those are
my favorite ones. I mean, I just cannot believe these people. What
are they thinking about? I know, what are they thinking. A lot
of them are young, and they're like, oh, I was desperate and
I really needed the money. But then they'll make the money and then they'll
be like, well that was kind of easy. I mean, don't do
it. I know it's crazy and shit always goes sideways. Yeah, I'm
sure that every almost every person who's who drug smuggles has gotten caught at some
point, and then you're gonna go to jail in like freaking Thailand, yeah,
China or pieces that they don't give a fuck about. It'll give a
fuck. And by the way, you ain't going to jail for six months.
You're going to jail for like ten years. Yeah, it's a long
time. Yeah in jail. A lot of these people did go to and
did serve long sentences. Long sentences, yeah, eight years. Can't even
imagine, I know, never to be seen again. Like some of them
are mothers with kids back home and stuff. And then they get thrown into
these prisons, Peruvian jails, and they're there for like eight years, and
then finally that you know, they get their sentence, they get there and
it's amazing how they even get out, Like you always think like how they
ever going to get out? And then eventually one day they'll get like a
letter in the mail like or something like, okay, you know the so
and so heard your case and you can serve the rest of the time back
home or whatever. It's crazy. It's craziness. That's one of my favorite
shows. Locked up Abroad. But I'm definitely not gonna smuggle any drugs.
Don't have me. I've got my lesson. Don't ask me to do it
because I'm not going Scary if I can't even ride in the passenger seat when
someone's driving. Do you think I'm going to be able to smuggle drugs?
Drugs that's true? Do you think I'm gonna be able to get to airports?
Cure already know I'm gonna be confessing. I'm gonna be like I have
something on me. I didn't want to God, no, no, I
know. You know. Actually I watched a movie with Natalia the other night
which was called Joy. Have you seen it? It's about the woman that
invented the the super mop, the ringing mop, right, and her name
and it was Jennifer Lawrence. Robert de Niro's in it. It's a good
movie, but she loved it. Yeah, it was a good movie to
watch, Like, see, now that's something that you learn of what to
do with your life, right, you know? And then I did watch
Locked Up Abroad with them once before to learn there so that they could learn
their lesson right, don't take chances? Yeah, they're like, no,
what do you think we are like when we drug mules? You think we
were just like about to go to Abisa and then all of a sudden we're
just gonna start like shipping drugs back and forth like it could happen though it
happens. It does. It happens, and it's a lot of it is
when he's they're a party and thinking everything's fine, they're having a good time
and you know, somebody asks them to do a drug run, right,
yeah, fuck that shit. Really, Hey, we're having so much fun,
like dancing in this club. You know how we could have even more
fun is if you strap some Haroin bricks to you and just go through the
airport security for us, like, no big deal. And you're like,
yeah, I showed Xander. I think I brought this up on our Patreon.
Yes I did, but I showed Xander. Well, John actually had
the idea and I was like, yeah, come watch. We showed him
pulp fiction. Oh. I thought he would love it. But you know,
it looks older. It does look older now. The quality of the
film. Yeah, when you watch it on your TV doesn't look like it
did in the movies. It doesn't look crisp, right, It looks like
an old movie even though it's about the nineties. Yeah, and he thought
it was okay, really just doing a lot of this. He was doing
a lot of like I don't understand what's going on. And he's a bright
kid, so and then John would say, as he often says to me,
like we're you're not supposed to know right now, Like we're just you're
just being introduced to characters, because you know, it starts with a Honey
Bundy, Amanda Plumber and what's his name thinking about holding up the reiner,
right, and then it goes to Vince and uh and Samuel Jackson in the
car talking about a royale talking about the royal cheese. So it starts setting
up who people are, and then it sets up who Marcellus Wallace is,
and Marcellus Wallace's wife and that John John Travolta is going to take her out
on a date. So he's watching all this and he's like, I don't
get it. I don't know what's going on. And it was a lot
of that. It was a lot of us going Okay, you don't have
to yet, just watch, and then John would start to explain, and
I go, you don't need to explain it because he's not supposed to know
it yet, so don't tell him what happens in the movie, you know,
because then John would be like, well, Bruce Willis is playing a
boxer, and by the way, Bruce Willis is like, and I'm like,
oh, he doesn't know all the backstory to Bruce, Willis like,
he's a box. And then John's like, and then he's gonna throw the
fight. Okay, well let him throw the fight and then see if Xander
can catch up. He's sixteen, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Now did
you show him the scene of the in the in the get the gift ast
for raping scene? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, because I remember the very
first time I watched Pulp Fiction was Sonny. I was like, Okay,
this scene, I don't think you need to know really what's going on,
so fast forward it. Yeah, but Xander is sixteen, so it's different.
I just didn't want to be alone in the room with you. No,
it was uncomfortable for sure, but we were. But John and I
were both like, okay, this scene is very very disturbing, you know,
right A. Xander didn't have much of a reaction. I think by
the end you can't help but be like, oh that was pretty epic.
Yeah, and then like so much. It's such a fun movie, isn't
it. I know, but I was thinking, like, you can't.
You couldn't make that, like Quentin Tarantino. Some of this, so he's
so problematic in it when he's saying the N word, it's just like part
of you is like you wrote that scene for yourself, just so you could
say the N word over and over and be like the white guy in front
of it. And I was like, well, I couldn't help but watch
it and think of Samuel Jackson being in that scene. Yes, probably wanting
to punch that character in the face, like right right, you don't get
to say even And then you're like, well, I guess it was at
the time. The times were different, But were they that different? I
don't think. I don't know, I know, I don't know. I
mean, it's a good movie. It's such a good movie. Yeah,
it is a good movie. It's very well written. It's really fun how
the characters they don't have that much backstory, but because they're having so many
conversations, which you don't see that much in movies, right the way Quentin
Tarantino writes people having really really really basic conversations, like how they chit chat,
like the scene with Bruce Willis and the girlfriend in the hotel room and
she's like, I have a I want to have a pooch. Yeah,
like a pot belly. What do you have a pot belly? Yeah?
Why don't I have a pop belly? And then he's like, you do
have a punt? Shut up, No, I don't. I know.
It is it's cute, Yeah it is. Yeah, it's really And then
the thing with them when Christopher walk In tells the story about the watch,
I mean, there's so many good seat you're like, oh, I forgot
about this scene. Yeah, I forgot about this scene. Yes, yeah,
and the music is good too, but yeah, I know. And
I think he's done nine movies now, and I think he says he's going
to do number ten and that's it. Oh really, Yeah, that's what
I've heard. Yeah, he has said that a lot. Yeah, and
that number ten to it too. Yeah, and he's sticking to it.
And is he filming. Yeah, I don't think he's filming yet, but
I think he has the script done for his last movie, which is going
to be called The Film Critic. Oh right, oh okay. There was
rumors going around that Shane Gillis was going to be the lead in it,
but yeah, kind of squashed those rumors. So I don't know how true
that is. Hm. Oh, and he does use the like the same
type of actors in his movies. Yeah, that would be a shame if
he stopped at number ten. He said that he he is going to stop
at ten. He's not going to do anymore, but he will do like
a limited series. He doesn't count that as being a film, so he's
like, I would do like a limited series like a show, but no,
no more movies. I'd watch a limited series by him, Yeah,
I would. Did you guys, what was your least favorite pulp fiction?
I mean, favorite Quentin Tarantino movie. Okay, let's see. I love
Reservoir Dogs, me too. I love pulp fiction. I love true Romance,
that's one of my favorites. Yeah. I love Inglorious Bastards, me
too. I loved Jackie Brown. Yeah. I'm not sure if he directed
that or if he just wrote it directed. He did. He didn't direct
tru Romance, but he directed Jackie Brown. Okay. I didn't see Django
Unchained. Oh really? And I didn't see The Hateful Eight either? Are
you serious? Is it good? Those two are like one of the best.
Really? I love those two? Oh hell yeah. I wasn't a
big fan of the The Oh. And I didn't see the I didn't like.
Oh you know what, I didn't like kill Bill, kill Bill.
That's what I was gonna say. I'm not a big fan of the kill
Bill one and two. I didn't see two because I didn't like it.
It's your favorite, you're fired. I should maybe watch it again because I
think I've only seen them in theaters and I don't know, maybe I should
watch it again. But uh, Django is great, great, really good.
And he is great what's his name, the Star of Yes, he's
so good. Jenko's great. Yeah, you got to see it. Okay,
great too, even though he plays a despicable Yeah, but he does
it so well. Yeah, it's fantastic. Yeah. Well, I'm trying
to think, well, what's your what's your very favorite? I say pulp
fiction and and Glorious Bastards kill Wow. Wow. Okay, I'm more with
Lynette here. Yeah, let's talk about Thrive though. We love Thrive.

that I like to apply, like we talk about to make the eye open
up look bright. Yeah, they're real light brown, yeah one really nice.
Yeah. I also like Muna, which is the like a slightly darker
brown, more like a tope. I use that for eyeliner, and I
love the white. It's really subtle. You can do that as on top,

All right, Well, so LB in case you're wondering, in case
you wanted a little update, Yeah, on my girls college search, she
didn't go to see San Diego State. Well yeah, you guys were gonna
go. We were going to go weekend, yes, this past weekend,
and we didn't go. Anyway, I'm gonna m how much can I talk
about l Lee without you know she is, She's entitled to her privacy and
her own the weight that she's going about things. But it's been like it's
been a little bit hard because, as you recall last year, she got
rejected everywhere. She got into University of Oregon, which we couldn't afford to
send her to. She got into UC Santa Cruz, which she did not
really didn't want to go to, but she was open minded and went to
visit and then was like too many trees. You guys all know the story.
She got rejected from San Diego State, cal Poly Slow, you see
Irvine, you see San Diego, I said, san Diego State, UCSB
Santa Barbara, u c LA, Berkeley, Davis, I mean all of
them, right, Irvine, all of them. Okay, So now so
far she's she only applied to IRV. She did not apply to Davis or
Santa Cruz. She applied to Irvine, UCLA, Berkeley, San Diego u
SE and San Diego State and the other one Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara.
Okay, so in cal Poly Slow, she got rejected from cal Poly Slow,
she got into Irvine. Okay, So we are waiting for these other
schools. And I thought that she would be excited to go see San Diego
State, right, And I had asked her to get the day off of
work to make sure that she didn't get scheduled that day, and she was
all about it at the beginning, and then I started asking follow up and
she was like, oh, yeah, I got scheduled to work that day,
so I'm gonna I'm gonna have to swap out. And then I would
remind her and feel like a nag because she would give me that look like
I know. But now I'm starting to feel like it's getting closer. I'm
starting to be like, well, this is my time, this is my
time, Like I'm leaving my weekend open to take you, because in my
mind we were going to go up there Friday evening, get a hotel,
be there for nine am, is the start time of this thing, spend
the day in San Diego seeing the school, and then go home from there.
So and she so then she wasn't scheduled on Friday, so she was
like, I just have to cover my Saturday ship. So now I'm thinking,
okay, we're going. But it is a little bit like pulling teeth
to get information, and it was becoming that thing we're very teenager ish,
where like I mention it and she gives me a look like again, like
you're mentioning it again, Like I get an eye roll and that tight you
know, that tight smile that they give you, and it's like I heard
you. I know. Then I would walk out of wherever I was talking
to her about it, feeling that feeling of like, okay, am I
being too much? Am I bugging her too much? But but what she
should want to go more? You know? Yeah, So then I was
like, I don't know, something's up with her, Like she's being dragging
her feet. So then finally it's like a few days away and I'm like,
Elbie, are we going or not, Like, I don't want to
have this feeling like I'm bugging you. If you don't want to go,
just say I don't want to go, right, you know. And she's
like, well, no, I do want to go, but I can't.
I'm not able to get the day off of work. And in my
mind, I'm thinking, if you really wanted to get the day off of
work, you can get the day off of work. Then also, then
she starts doing the like I'm trying to prove to you that I can't get
the day off work, Like, Mom, this is the schedule, here's
the people that are scheduled. Everybody's scheduled on Saturday. I have this kind
of shift, so this person has would have to cover for this person.
It's very complicated, and I'm like, Okay, but this is such a
great opportunity for you. I want you to feel good that you have like
this very solid option. Yes, because I'm very, very very tense about
if she gets rejected from the schools she's really focused on are UCLA, Berkeley,
and Santa Barbara, right, and very worried. So this Friday she'll
hear about Berkeley the following Tuesday, she'll hear about Santa Barbara, and the
following Wednesday she'll hear about UCLA. Okay, she could very easily get rejected
from all three. There's just no telling. I mean, I'm hoping her
chances are better. It's a different major, and it's a as a transfer,
but she's transferring after one year, which is very hard to do.
She's not a two year transfer. She didn't have two years to get an
amazing GPA. She has a great GPA appears, but you don't know.
We have no way to know or gauge how it's going to go. The
only thing, the only good sign we have is that she got into Irvine,
right, so we got a hope she has at least one more choice,
right, But we don't know. So I'm like, if everything else
goes to shit, i want her to feel good about San Diego Irvine.
But it was that thing where I was like, as a mom, how
much do you push? How much do you bug her? And in the
end I had to talk with her and I was like, I'm just gonna
step back. But then she kind of told me that she's feeling very anxious
herself, and she doesn't actually want me to step back. It's just she's
feeling kind of paralyzed. And in the end we had a really good,
deep conversation about how she's actually feeling. She doesn't like to get vulnerable and
tell me the truth. So we decided that I will still remind her of
things and make sure that she knows about deadlines and kind of bug her also,
but not as much. And then she also needs to receive it better
and not act like I'm bugging her. If she wants that from me,
that's good. I mean, now it's a good that's a good conversation.
You know, that's good. It's a good conversation to have. Yeah,
you know, so I told her so Basically, it comes down to the
fact that she didn't want really, she wasn't feeling super motivated to go because
she just wants to see what all her options are and then decide and then
go see them where she you know. Anyway, that is it. Well,
that's for that. So I'll have more updates next week next Monday,
