You make us want a stroop. Yeah, somebody's got a dentist story,
Yes, Kaylin does. But I just want to tell everybody that I
got my books. All of my drunks, hardcover, beautiful books came in
the mail and now I'm like excited. It's exciting. Okay, So you
got a bunch of books, do you what you sign them? Is that
I can sign them for people. I can give them to friends. I
can, uh, I don't know, I can, just I can want
to leap on a pile of books. I'm going to bring you a book.
I brought you the advanced copy a while ago. But now I'll bring
you a real book. Okay, yeah, for your Christmas Christmas present.
Yay. I brought one to the White Elephant party that I went to,
and my friend thought it was for her, but I just brought it because
a bunch of my girlfriends were going to be there. Who are Okay,
so this is funny, this was like a little bit awkward. So a
couple of those friends are in the acknowledgments. Oh, I can say this
here because you two are both in the acknowledgments, which you probably didn't even
read the acknowledgments, but you're both in my acknowledgements to the book. But
of this group of mom friends, like two of them are in the acknowledgments,
but then like the two of them are not because like uh oh,
awkward award one of them. If you recall a Patreon like a million years
ago that somebody got mad at me about. But remember the the mom who
refused to carpool with me, Yes I do, so she were friends.
We are friends, but not even though she's one in my close group of
mom friends. Do you ever have a friend that's in your close group of
friends but not really your close friend. Yes, she's much closer friends with
the other two moms. I'm close. I'm close friends with two of those
moms, like close friends, like talk to them on the phone like all
the time. And then the other few friends are like more acquaintances, right,
I know, I get that. And even though she's been in that
circle for you know, eighteen years or something like whatever, more like sixteen
years. But like she's not the one. That's not the one I'm gonna
I'm not gonna call her. I'm not gonna like have coffee with her on
her own, right, we just don't have it like that. Yeah,
And she's lovely and like fun and I we love being in groups together.
Yeah, I get I'm always happy to see her, but like she's not
She didn't make the acknowledgments right, right, you know, but that's not
everybody can. Yes, you don't. When you write acknowledgments for a book,
you don't just like list off every person you've ever had a relationship with.
It's like, who is currently in my life that I feel like supported
by it when I'm writing a book. Kaitlyn isn't that nice? But you
know what I mean, Like, who's been on this ride with me and
a couple of those people were. Anyway, the point is I brought the
book though to show to my girlfriends because I was going to see them,
and I was excited and I'd just gotten it in the mail. And then
my one friend who is in the acknowledgement's like thought I brought it for her
and like immediately like took it and then put it away, and I was
like, oh, where's the book? And she was like, oh,
I put it like in my purse with my stuff. And I was like
oh. Like She's like, did you want me? Did you want to
show it to people? And she goes Finally it occurred to her. She
was like, oh, is that not like my book? And I was
like, no, bitch, I'm going to sign you a copy. That
ain't it though. That was just why I just wanted to show it to
people. So she brought it back out. But then you know that Carpool
was like, oh, am I in the acknowledgments And she was kind of
kidding. She was making a joke about like is because she opened it to
the dedication, which is the dedication is to my children, right, But
she was like, oh, I'm not in the dedication, but I didn't
want to flag the fact that like no, and also not in the acknowledgements,
but two other people in this room are in the acknowledgized you know what
I mean, Like, yeah, that is uh oh, well, well,
I'm sure it sounds like she understands, right. I can't imagine that
she would be surprised, like, but I have a feeling that she would
be like, huh, like you mentioned these other two, my other two,
like it's in your group, right, but not me. Huh weird.
And there are stories in the book that she is a part of.
Oh, but if I mentioned her, i'd have there's like four more that
it would be than weird that I didn't mention. So it's like you're not
Yeah, everybody pluck It's like that sounds this whole conversation sounds kind of narcissistic
to even be thinking about it. The point is that it was momentarily awkward
because I was like, don't look at it. Don't look at like,
don't go look at it. Don't go like, oh, I want to
read your acknowledgments, like don't do that, Yeah, don't do that.
Yes, it was a little bit like yeah, okay, we're done looking
at this now. I want to show it to this person, you know,
yeah, yeah, deeper, deeper, interesting, yeah yeah, but
it's cool. I'm excited, and it is a very excited, very personal,
very personal book. When I was writing it, I felt legitimately uncomfortable
during parts that I wrote, and for some reason, like I can't I
just as long as I don't think about like what's actually in the book,
I'm like, oh, yeah, everybody should read it. But then when
I look at some of the parts of the book, I'm like, oh,
like maybe, like not all my close friends should be like knowing this
stuff about me, But what you know me, I don't get a fuck.
Yeah, no, I get it. I get it's a book,
it's personal. My life's an open book. Right. So but you guys
can all pre order it now you would like, if you would like,
and I think you will get the book in the mail. So the release
day, my book publication day is January sixteenth, But by the time you
listen to this, it's going to be like December twentieth. You're gonna get
you will. If you pre order the book now, you will get it
soon, or you can wait You can also pre order it on Audible.
This is not an ad for Audible, by the way. I know you
guys love them, but it's not when. But if you pre order it
on Audible, like I guess on publication day, I mean it's all recorded,
then you'll get it. So you're done recording it. Oh yeah,
it's it's ready to release. I can't wait with me reading it to you.
That's awesome. If that's how you like your book, I'm going to
download the shit out of that. But if you want, I know,
it's expensive because it's a hardback, so it's like thirty bucks. It's like
twenty seven dollars. You go to Amazon. You can go to Amazon.
Yeah, Amazon, Barnes and Noble whatever wherever. I mean, you get
your fine book. I mean, I know Amazon is not like the greatest,
but I love them. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Jeff
Bezos is a really good friend of mine. A lot of people, so
like I want to support him, yeah you know what I mean. Yeah,
and what he's doing. I have a good friend that interviewed for like
his assistant. Oh really, she was like the second and I don't think
she wanted to take it because it was too hardcore, like a lot of
Oh, he's supposed to be a fucking nightmare. Yeah, and I think
she was like no, but yeah, she came pretty close to being.
And that company is just like a toxic work environment. I've known many people
who have worked really in corporate Amazon and they all hate their lives. Yeah,
seems like I'm a shit show. But yeah, so there's that little
tidbit. Yeah. I think Amazon though, is like I think they're doing
well. They might stick around, you think so anyway, Okay, that's
all about my book. I'm excited. I'm excited. Are you going to
do any press or anything? So right now? I guess the Today Show
passed on me, which is fucked up. I don't know why. I've
done the Today Show for every other one of my books that has come out.
I still am holding out a little hope, but I am. I'm
being considered for Drew Barrymore talk show, for Kelly Clark, Kelly Clark Show,
I'm being considered for I'm doing something for CBS Saturday Morning. Yes,
I am going to be doing some press and they're probably going to send me
to New York on my publication week and I think I'm going to take LB
with me. Did I mentioned that before? Yeah, No, you didn't
mention that. I think I feel like I said I might do that.
So John took Sadie and Xander to New York right for like a week,
I don't know, last spring break break, so like less than a year
ago. So I was like, damn, if I if I do get
flown to New York, alb, I should just bring her and if they
put me up for a couple of nights, I can just extend it.
That would be So whatever the hotel is, stay there for like two more
nights, that's us, and then like just go like she can come with
me to do any press that I have, and then we can like just
go screw around for her show. That's great idea. Totally should do that.
Have them fly me back like a little bit, like a few days,
you know what I mean, like stay for like five days at least.
Yeah, Oh my god, I'm so excited for you. I know,
I can't wait. Yeah. So I don't know like if any of
the press will pan out. I hope it does. I think. So
I'm gonna there's gonna be some of the stuff I've done. There's gonna be
a write up on me, an interview with me on Shonda Land, which
is a pretty big website. Yeah, it's kind of a it's Shonda Rhymes.
Yeah, that's the other she died. Oh remember she was a get
the pay the political intern right right right? Who is Sha Shanda Shonda Ryme's
Yeah, of Grey's Anatomy fame. She has a pretty big website that's like
very big in the black community, really like like mini Oprah. Yes,
she's kind of a anyway, that's a pretty big website. And then I'm
going to be on a podcast called The Last Day, which is a pretty
big podcast, and I'm excited about that. That's free interviewed for that.
I think my interview for that is maybe the week of my book coming out.
I don't know. I've just done a bunch of podcasts. I did
Shameless mom Our friend Sarah Dean's podcast, and that's going to be a girl.
Yeah, So a bunch of podcasts and hopefully some TV stuff that'd be
great. I'm excited for you. Thank you. I know, it's exciting.
It's like I feel like I wrote the whole book ironically in a blackout
because like it was so so writing books for me is very stressful, but
like I brought it on myself. Like I literally wrote my old publisher and
was like, hey, I think I could write a book about this,
and they were like okay. And then I ship myself. But you know
what, that's that's part of it, of course. Yeah. But I'm
I'm I can't wait to read it. I can't wait. Thank you.
I'm excited me too. Yeah. So, Caitlin, you went to the
dentist. Yeah. I had a bit of a week last week. Yeah,
tell us. So I at first I thought after we recorded on Tuesday
for the second time, I was like, oh, my stomach isn't feeling
so good. And I was like, I think I might have got whatever
Lenett had. Boy, my stomach was feeling pretty weird that whole day.
But luckily it wasn't that bad, Okay. So then the next day it
was done. That was fine. Okay. So then I worked like Wednesday,
Thursday, and then I got up to do my pawn work on Friday
and I was like, oh, man, I don't I don't. I
don't feel right. This doesn't feel good. And so I essentially just kind
of came down with a like cold on Friday, which I had the cold.
I came in with it on Tuesday. You think you exactly feel like
I think I did because I woke up that morning with like a really bad
sore throat. But I took some motron and I kind of decided I was
in denial and I was stuffy nosed, but I was like, could it
be allergies? It couldn't be what Lynette had because I'm not sick to my
stomach and it's the next day, right, So we all came in on
Monday and then you went home, and then we rescheduled it for Tuesday,
and I was like, well, I can't not come in because like we're
all coming in and we have to get this done now. So I came
in. But maybe I also woke up with a sore throat that morning.
Oh, and I was just but it wasn't that bad. I couldn't tell
if like you know, sometimes I just don't have water at night and I
wake at the stot throat anyway, So it didn't like hurt that bad,
but just the whole day and then Friday, my pond day is like it's
just work, work, work, all day. Yes, you know,
physical just going from one place to the next, so that probably didn't help
that I was just you know, burning myself out all day. So then
over the weekend, I've just I've been sick, mostly with sinuses, and
I have like a sinus headache which is just really annoying, which I have
right now and I think it's starting to go away. But I had to
go to the dentist on Saturday. On Saturday, on Saturday, yeah,
just because like a week earlier, I just got this really bad toothache right
in between my last two teeth on my top row and my gums hurt so
bad, and I didn't know what it was. But every time i'd try
to I thought there was like something in my teeth. But every time I
would try to floss it, it would like it would sting really badly,
like and then it would hurt hours afterwards and nothing would come out. So
I was like, Okay, I don't know what it is, so I
gotta go see it. I hadn't been to the dentist in like two years
anyway happens, so I was like, I can't tell if there's something in
there or it's just been long enough, and you know, there's something going
on with my teeth. So I had to get a new dentist down in
Long Beach. So I'm looking around on Yelp. I find one that's five
stars with like one hundred and fifty very good reviews. So I'm like,
Okay, I'm gonna go to this one. Go to that dentist on Saturday.
While I'm sick worried that I'm they're gonna have to like numb me up
and do something or other. I go in there. They're all very nice,
very easy. Dentist comes in. There was something stuck in my in
my tooth. It was like a sunflower seed, like the casing of a
sunflower seed, which is like thin and long, but it was like wedged
in there. And how did they get it out? Though? He just
he just kind of picked at it for a little bit and you know,
shot some water air in there, and it was just kind of picking and
then he pulled it out and they were both like, wow, you had
this thing stuck in your tooth. And I was like, yeah, it
was so wedged in there. I couldn't even like really when they were digging
around in there though. No, not too bad. It was it only
it was like a you know, that dull pain. That's how it was
constantly. But whenever I would flos said, the floss would get in.
Then that's when it would sting like a sharp a sharp stick. But were
they trying to fos No, they didn't try to floss. He was able
to just get it out with that. And as soon as he got it
out, they were like, wow, this, I can't believe you had
that stuck in your tooth. It's gonna feel better now. I was like,
Okay, great, while you're at it, why don't you just take
all my X rays and let me know what else you haven't been there?
Yeah, right, exactly, take all my dental insurance. No, and
the other dentists that I've been to for all my life up here. I
liked them, and I would come up here to go there, but they're
just way too expensive. Yeah, And the last time I went there,
like, oh, you have like this thing that needs a procedure and this
thing that needs a procedure and this thing, and it's going to be like,
you know, like twenty five hundred dollars. But you know, we
could do it now. And I was like, oh, well, I
don't know about that. So in the back of my head, I thought,
Okay, I have all this other stuff that needs to get done.
So it's like, why don't you guys just take a bunch of X rays,
tell me what you gotta do. They took the X rays easy,
they were nice. The whole visit was cheap. It was just fifty bucks
to do all that stuff, to do X rays, to do the X
rays, and to get the thing out of my tooth, they charged you
fifty bucks. The whole thing was fifty bucks. Oh yeah, wow.
I was like, oh, this is great and uh and they he said
like, oh, you don't really have any problems with your teeth. You
just need a deep cleaning and this filling is starting to come apart, so
you're gonna need to get this filling redone. And I was like, oh,
this is really easy. And I probably should have known, like when
I signed up for it. It's like the whole thing is like holistic care,
you know, dental, like holistic whatever. And so I go to
schedule. You go, oh, you need the deep cleanings in this filling,
and I go, okay, I don't like the word holistic. I
don't like, yeah, go fuck yourself, yourself, your vegan. You
know, Vegan's coming next, right, supplements and you know, right?
Yeah. Uh. And I've said before like I had a major needle phobia
in my life, but then after my blood clots and I just had to
get my blood drawn, blood drawn so often, I got used to it.
That hasn't translated to them in my mouth, Like I'm still getting shots
in my mouth, is like the worst thing ever. Really. Yeah,
So I they were like, okay, you need to get all this done,
and I go, okay, you're gonna need to numb me up for
that, right, that's going to require a shot. She's like yeah,
maybe probably. I go, okay, well you're gonna give me the I
can get the gas for that, right to call me down? She goes,
no, we don't. We don't do the gas. We're organic.
Yeah, we're holding sack and so we care about your body. Yeah,
we will burn's age. Yeah, we'll light a clove candle, so that
should help ease your pain and anxiety. So then yeah, I was like,
oh bummer, I really like this place. And so you said that,
now I got to go find another dentist. I'm not the dentists without
gas. So all right, thanks, thanks for what you did. Yeah.
So yeah, that was like when I was gonna have to have the
implant, second one, and I was like, well, I'm not going
to go to my og doctor who I love, because it's going to be
too expensive. I was like, let me shop for somebody that can do
the implant. And I had had to have the tooth taken and the input
blah blah blah. You know, you know my story. That's why we
have to warn Katerina every time. And yeah, and I remember I called
the one guy and they were like, oh, we can do all of
this at the same time. Like we'll do the I mean, you come
back for your crown after, but we can. We'll pull the tooth,
put the implant in there, right, you know, put the do the
bone graph thing all that, and then you come back and you get your
crown and it's all like like half the price, you know. And I
was like, okay, but how much is it for the anesthesia for like
you know, and they're like, oh, you won't need that, like
that's we just do it with like novacan And I was like, are you
high right now? Are you saving all the gas for yourself. You are
this crazy that you think I'm not going to sleep to have a bone gra
Like the word bone is in there. If the bone is in there at
any well, what are you crazy? Yeah? I had it and then
didn't put me to sleep. I for some reason, don't mind the dentist
at all. I don't know why, but like and so I told I
tell my kids two things. Like, when you're on an airplane you feel
the turbulence, just relax, like just let it lull you to sleep,
like, let enjoy so my kids don't get scared. Then the other thing
is when you go to the dentist, just relax and like put your earbuds
in and just zone out. They're gonna have to do what they have to
do. You're not gonna be able to stop it. You might feel if
they say they're gonna give you a shot, might be a little pinch or
whatever. So the kids are like fine with it when they go to the
dentist. I just hate that you're sitting there and they're going around in your
teeth and you're just waiting for it. You're just waiting for that hurt to
happen, and that happens. Yeah, So you're just sitting there the whole
time, waiting, waiting, waiting, and then it happens. Yeah.
But it was funny because I, you know, I island Blake. They've
never been to the dentist yet, but I mean they brush their feets every
day, so they're very good about it, so they haven't really needed to.
But you know, we were sitting there and I was like, I
think I was telling Amy or Mom was like, oh, I got to
go to the dentist today. And then they both looked at me and I
went, I mean, I get to go to the dentist today. How
far Such a damn hilarious. That's funny trying to get them excited about it.
Yeah. The first time I ever took Elbe to the dentist, we
went. We took her to our family dentist. So it was I guess
she was like in preschool and her one of her classmates, one of the
preschool moms, was a dentist, so we started going to her right uh.
And so we brought Elbe and oh my god, she and it's not
even like we had I didn't bring any negative connotations to it. I was
just like Yeah, it's time for baby's first dentist appointment, you know,
bring her in there. Hell no, Well, well, because she had
anxiety and we didn't know it at the time, so I was just like,
she would not open her mouth, crying, screaming, absolutely not.
She just she wouldn't open her mouth. She was like so scared, and
we, honestly we were like, what are you I don't even understand what
you're scared of. And you're gonna get a toy? Yeah, I open
the treasure chest and pull out something from the dollar tree and like it's gonna
be fine. It's she's not and that she was super nice. She was
just like, honey, I'm not even gonna I'm not gonna do anything.
I just want to look like you know, and she nope, would not
do it. Had to take her all the way back home, called my
friend, my friend who's got the a gracie right, my friend with a
single mom with a gracie called her, was like, what are you doing
for this? She's like, oh, I've got a pediatric I had to
take her to the most default mom you got to close personally, like hi,
there, little girl, puts your headphones on, You're gonna watch a
movie and there's fish tanks everywhere, thanks toys everywhere, and it's like they
just they freaking trick them. They did. So they're just like close your
eyes for a second and open your mouth for surprise. So we looked at
your teeth, you know, and then I don't know, somehow that she
calmed her down and she yeah, And we went there for like a few
years. Yeah, we did too. We went to the same place with
the like fish tanks and stuff and toys, and they would look forward to
it because so that they could get a toy which ends up at the bottom
of my car. They never take the toy out of the car. They're
done with it. But it's the same toys that they litter those goodie bags
with. It's the same stuff that you get from Oriental Trader or whatever that's
like you know a sling shot or mini slinky or finger track or you know
the rubber ball against the paddle right yeah thing, yeah, yeah, And
then they think they won the lottery or they're like, I get this toy
and you're like yeah, and it ends up at the bottom of your car.
Yeah, But so we still go because the way insurance works. I
don't know if this is all over the country. It must because it's Obamacare.
So when kids are minors, so we don't have dental insurance, we
already pay two thousand dollars a month and it doesn't include vision or dental,
which sucks. But like dental insurance is like another three hundred dollars a month,
which for what like you know, so, but Obamacare, dent certain
dental stuff for minors is all covered. So their cleanings like simple cavity or
tooth extraction, like that's covered for them. So we went to another.
We moved from that dentist because they are far but we're with still a pediatric
dentist that's like, how are you? Like sos, everything's still toys.
Sadie and Xander still go there. But Elbe is now nineteen. As soon
as she was over the age of eighteen, I called this place. I
was like, hey, so like keep the continuity. I still want to
send Elbe to you, like for whatever tooth cleaning. Oh. It was
like they're like, oh yeah, that's click two hundred and fifty dollars.
I was like what yeah, So now I'm going to send Elbe to my
regular dentist who's like much less expensive. Right, that's how they get you,
though, It's how they get you. Yeah, you know, speaking
of dentist, I don't know if if you see you have peacock Now,
yes, I do? You do? Yes? I do? Okay.
Because they have this show about like old sitcoms or like I Love Lucy,
like the story behind Gilligan's Island and blah blah blah. I was watching the
one. I think it was Gilligan's Island. I had an old dentist.
This guy that was talking about that knew everything about Gilligan's Island, looked exactly
like my dentist. He was even wearing one of those Hawaiian shirts that Dennis
wear, and I was like, that is my I know that's my dentist,
but his name is something different because he wrote a book about Gilligan's Island.
And my dentist is so quirky that I thought that it's gotta be him,
and I googled it and it I can't. I found him, but
it doesn't tell me if he but I swear to God, that is my
dentist up there. It's weird, right, Maybe it is, maybe it
is, but anyway. Yeah, but they have different names. Yeah,
it's like Tony Parker or something like, you know, like like I'm thinking,
is that his like maybe it's a pen name. Yeah, that's what
he wrote about Gilligan side. He's not going to use his dumb like he's
got like this normal, weird name, you know, ordinary name. I
don't know. Maybe maybe, but I swear I swear it to him,
but I don't know. I don't know. You got to ask him.
I got to ask him. Yeah, that's so funny. Yeah, so
what are you watching on well over the weekend? Like, so, I
haven't watched season two of Winning Time by the way, Oh I know,
wait have I Yeah you have liked it. Yeah, you guys were talking
about it at the time. Yes, I loved Yeah. I was waiting
for it to like pile up and then I completely forgot about it. And
so then like last night, I was like, I'm just me and Sonny
were home and I was like, do you want to watch something? And
I want him to watch it. So he's like, i'll be in.
I'll be in in a little bit, you know. So I went to
the living room, I started watching it, and I was like, look,

watch Winning Time? I've told him a million times about and he's like,
I'm gonna watch it. He doesn't like TV shows right now because he feels
like he's got a finish whichever TV show he's watching, which is Game of
Thrones he's still been on for like a year now. He's trying to get
through it. So but he wanted to watch Flowers Uh Killers the Flower Moon,
Killer of the Flower Moon. And it's like eight of four hours,
I know. So it's eight o'clock. I'm like, I got to get
up in the morning go to work, like no, and he's like come
on. I was like, no, let's find something. So then we
couldn't find something, so then we settled. I just watched Uncut Gem.
By the way, have you guys seen that? I watched that like a
couple of years ago. It's good, it's Adam se Yeah. I was
like people were telling me, oh, you should watch it for a while
and I was like, I was at the condo. I'm like, I
only watched this. I loved it very good. It's great. But that
movie made me just so uncomfortable while I was watching it. Yeah, gives
you so much anxiety throughout the whole thing. Is like, oh, yeah,
this is a great movie. I hate how it made me feel the
whole time I was watching it. Yeah, that he's going to suck up
or make another stupid bet or something. Right, Yeah, I liked it.
I watched I just watched the Robin Williams documentary, Oh, which was
really good. Where is it? I mean, yeah, on Hbobo it
was good, really good. I really really liked it. Yeah, but
I was remembering I mean, I was a fan of Robin Williams, like
when I was little and watching Yeahdy or watching him. I was never into
Mork and Mindy, but his albums, his comedy albums right which I now
can't remember the names of, because I was thinking of Steve Martin, Let's
Get Small and Connedy Isn't Pretty. We talked about that, but Robin Williams
was a big one I listened to over and over and over just watching just
I just a lot of stuff about him that I didn't know. It just
it made me think of it because Adam Sandler doing a serious role. Robin
Williams, who was this you know, comedic genius but then was so good
in his some really serious roles. Goodwill, Hunting, Awakening, Awakening,
such a good movie. I love that movie. Yeah, remember that movie.
Oh it's great. It's a really really good DeNiro in it. Yeah,
deniros what the star. The two of them are stars of it.
Yeah, he plays like Oliver Sacks. I think when they came up with
a way to get Parkinson's or the Parkinson's patients that were like in a like
lost they were like in their own world kind of, and he came up
with anyway, It's like it's really good. It's really bad though it is
sad. Yeah, I remember watching it a long time ago. But I
think that would have been a good movie for Sonny and I to watch.
Yeah, this is one of his favorite movies. Is One Flow Over the
Cuckoo's Nest. Oh he would love a way, now he would. He
loves de Niro. Yeah, yeah, great movie. Yeah, you know
a movie that everybody loves that I tried to rewatch Silver Linings Playbook. I
don't like that movie. I don't know why. I watched it the first
when it first came out, and I don't know, I can't. Yeah,
it wasn't like whoa, that was great. I don't know it was.
It's like, just okay, didn't it win a bunch of Academy Awards?
Did? Yeah? And it propelled that director David O. Russell I
think it is his name, And then every movie he made after that,
I was like, I'm not really into these. I did like Silver Lying's
Playbook a lot, but then he made like American Hustle I think he made
after that, which I think you watched recently, Yeah, I did.
And then he made another one with Jennifer Lawrence where she's like, I think
she's like a single mom selling like a mop. Yeah that was something like
that. That's a good movie, that Jennifer Lawrence movie. She plays.
It's a true story the woman that developed the the specter, the swiffer.
Yeah, the swiffer huh so, But yeah, I like that one.
But speaking of Bradley Cooper, he has his movie coming out this week on
Netflix called Maestro Oh, which I think is gonna be really good. He's
been working on it for like six years. I heard him on Howard Stern
talking about it. It's all right, I can, I can cut it
out. I'm gonna watch that. Yeah, that's coming out on Netflix Wednesday.
I think that's gonna be really good. I think he's probably I think
he's probably gonna be favored to win the Academy Award for Best Actor Directing.
I bet. Yeah. Yeah. So is that how it works now?
They movies can get their release on Netflix and still be up for well,
they technically release it in the theater first, you know, like Maestro,
Napoleon, Killers of the Flower Moon, they all get released in the theaters.
Yeah, but then a little bit later, you know, I think
Apple has the rights to Flowers of the Killer Moon and Napoleon, and then
Netflix says the rights to Maestro, but they do, I think, have
to release in the theater still, which I think it's I think it's in
the theater right now. But who's going to the theater to see it?
Yeah? I know. Sarah Silverman's in it. Yep, wow, in
Maestro. Yeah, she's a good actress. She is really serious part.
Yeah, she's good. All right, Well, sorry, we had to
take a little break. There was a leaf blower that wouldn't shut the fuck
up next door. It was very loud. It was like he was clearing
out the you know, I don't know, it wouldn't leave. It was
just still in one spot. You can still kind of it sounded like he
was in the room with us. Yeah, he got really at our feet.
Yeah, you know, like if you're in a restaurant and they start
like vacuuming and they're like by your feet, right, or you're ever at
the gym, are you and they're starting to see him like like like the
floor, like right out of your seat. You're like, you can't wait
until, like, I'm not gonna be here forever. I promise you that,
right, Yeah, I okay, So I just got, like I
said, not paars out peacock, peacock. And there's a lot of good
stuff on there. But the reason I I really did pull the trigger was
because Cecily and I we started talking. We're covering over on Rose Pricks,
We're covering Beverly Hills Housewives. Yeah, this season of it, and which
is insane, and we have very different views on it than a lot of
the world. Right now, but because so we also decided that for our
bonus episodes, we were going to cover Ultimate Girls Trip, a new one.
So I watched as much as there's a new season, there's a new
one, seasons. It's all like it's leg see, it's all New York
Housewives. It's really good. It started already, it started already. But
you can you can get the first three episodes on Peacock. But I don't
think they're all out yet. I think only the first one's out for everybody
else, for all the plebeians that don't you know, so what chance?
So it's on Peacock. It's on Peacock only. Yes, okay, I
think it's on Bravo. The first episode I think is out on Bravo.
But if you subscribe to Peacock, you can get the first three right now.
Right. So then I went back. I was like, just I
was. I had a cold all week, so I was like, well,
I'm gonna I'm going to go back now that I have this pie,
I'm gonna go back and watch season one of Ultimate Girls Trip, you know,
and like, oh my god, Brandy is out of her mind.
Yes, Brandy is Brandy Glanville, who we had on our show a million
years ago, because you went on her show, and I remember that I
used to talk a lot of shit about her, and our audience was just
like, Oh, now you're gonna have her on your show. Now,
I wonder what Stephanie's gonna do, Like, is Stephanie gonna like call her
out? And I'm like, of course, I was not gonna call her
out or come on. And I was like, oh my gosh, Brandy
was such a big fan of yours, Like of course I wasn't like yeah
what yeah, but she is ridiculous. Well, you know, it's funny
that you brought that up because I forgot how much I love Big Brother.
So I went back and I was like, oh I should I haven't watched
it in years, so I'm like, you know, she'd watch old episodes.
So then I was like, wait, there's a celebrity Big Brother.
So I watched the first scenes and she's in it, and she drinks a
lot, and they were making fun of like the point is is like,
they don't they give you a little bit of alcohol, they don't give you
a ton of So she kept going can we like they were showing out takes
and she kept talking to the camera, going, we need more alcohol,
like other people are like I need a new razor. Can you somebody give
me a new like nose hair clipper, you know, or I need a
charger or whatever it was. She was constantly like, can we have more
alcohol? Like more out? And she was drinking and she was just like
calling people like she was They're sitting around drinking one night and she and you
know, Julie Chen is the host, right, and she'll go, I
dare does anybody have anything could somebody say something bad about Julie Chen? Like
something like not not like you have nothing bad to say about Julie Chen.
So she was more like who wants to say something bad about Julie Chen?
Like I'm gonna get you guys talking, you know. And then Julie Chen
had to fucking, you know, confront her when she got kicked out,
like do you have anything bad to say? And she's like, oh my
god, I'm so sorry, Like I was drinking. Yeah, she would
be drinking a lot and she's she is a lot and she still is.
I think yeah, because this ultimately she is entertaining to watch. This girl's
trip was just oh no, because that was the first season of it.
So she's not on this latest season? Is she not on the latest season?
No, she's on New York Okay, so she was on the season.
Derinda's on the latest season and she was also on she So isn't that
the one Brandy was on the one with Derinda the Blue manor? Yeah?
Yes, that's second season, isn't it. I get I guess you have
to watch the first season. The first season was really good. I feel
like maybe the first season had people that I don't didn't know. This season,
I'm watching, Jill Zarin shows up. Yes yet, yeah, yeah,
yeah, and it's yeah and Derinda. Oh so you haven't have you
watched the whole thing yet? No? I think I'm on like episode two
or I think I've watched like two or three episodes. Oh, I think
it's only like six Episodesnda gets crazy. Yeah, Derinda is one of the
worst alcoholics I've seen on Real Housewives. People make that claim about a lot
of women on that show. But Derinda from the Beg from her first season
is just the meanest drunk and it's these classic signs of alcoholism where you know
her personality starts changing right after like two drinks, you start noticing the slurring
and the meanness. She's just so mean. She has a different personality.
Like some people say that when you have it like that, your true personality
comes out. I don't know if that's true, because I would even say
for myself, like I was a pretty fun drunk, Like I would get
in cry sometimes or get upset or like get in fights with John when I
was drinking because I would think things are upsetting me, that I was probably
being over sensitive, right, but I would I'm not like, like I
don't become a different person like a monster. Like oh, like Derinda just
goes crazy, like goes off on people and will not stop, like we'll
just hammer it you and hammer it you, hammer at you. Yeah,
Like that scene from I think it was her first season she got so mad
at Heather. Remember Heather hey, mamah yeah yeah Heather of yummy Yeah,
yes, yummy tummy or whatever, yeah, which I don't like that one.
What was her thing? Her tagline was like, uh, hey,
I don't know, I don't remember, but she thought she was like really
in with the black community. You remember, because she worked with like P
Diddy, right, and she was always like yeah, well Diddy said or
whatever, and people did not like her, but I kind of liked her
because I just thought she was you know, I thought thought she was like
a little bit more down to earth than the other ones. Yeah she would.
So then Derinda got really mad at Heather because she said that, because
she was like, you said the F bomb, Like that's so not classy,
that's whole class And Heather was like what, like she up or whatever
she was like. And then eventually Derinda was at this big dinner and she
just got so drunk and then she was finally then Derinda was like fucky and
then and then they went from one restaurant to like another restaurant, and Derinda
was like, Heather, you didn't wait for me, you were walking ahead
of me. Remember it was like crazy gaslighting, ridiculousness. So I had
Derinda's number from like the Jump. Yeah, she's done nothing but get worse.
Yeah, I know. And then she became just a like not on
the show, but now she's on Ultimate Girls Trip, you know, right,
So they took her off the main show for her drinking problem, and
she is in denial that that's why she lost her job. Like all of
those women drink so much, like you have to be pretty bad for you
to be the one that's fired for drinking too much, right considering I mean
even Sonia, Sonia, I know Sonia's like lovable drunk right right, right
right? Okay, you know we should talk about before we go talk you
about Clints. It's the holidays, Like we love Colints eat so much because
it's high quality items for your husband, for the men, for the women,

stuff to watch? But yeah, you were talking about synanon the Cut and
that's now on Paramount because now Showtime is going away and it's becoming Paramount.
So I had the Showtime app. You can't go on Showtime now, you
gotta have Paramount the fuck. So then I got Paramount and then I see
the Cult the Living In with synanon Oh, I was like, that's what's
that. I thought it was gonna be on Peacock, but it's not.
It's on Paramount, so I still can't watch it. No, I forgot
that. I have a little story for you, okay that I could have
talked about on Patreon, but we didn't. Okay, we gave a little
update about your life, yep, and I think that's for the best.
But now, hold on, have you heard of this Okay, Skinny,
have you heard of this show, The Skinny Confidential Skinny con I think I
have. Okay, this is just this is annoying more than anything else.
Okay, hold on, Okay, hold on, Caylin. We might have
to pause for a minute. But okay, actually I have it queued up.
We don't even need to pause. So one of our listeners sent me
this. This told me, Hey, Elizabeth Vargas mentioned you and your books
on this podcast, The Skinny Confidential. So I was like, oh,
now, let me just give you a little context here, Solizabeth Elizabeth Fargas.
I was interviewed by her when I was like nine months sober. This
was a long time ago for twenty twenty an episode of twenty twenty right,
and it was a I It was a very good experience. She was so
nice. But what really stood out to me during this interview, and I've
talked about this before, but she was very interested in the topic and she
her producer, this woman named Shanna, who was so so nice, had
called me, and I was already like a little bit over doing TV stuff
about sobriety because I didn't feel like I just felt like all I have is
my experience to talk about. It's like I don't I can't teach anybody about
like you know, It's like I'm a fuck up and I'm willing to share
my story, but I don't want to be an expert about it in any
way. So but she was like, listen, Elizabeth really wants to do
a story about like moms and drinking and like the whole wine culture, and
she's going to actually talk to some moms who are like currently struggling, and
she wants you to be somebody to you know, just talk about your experience.
And also Mary, the author, Mary Carr, is going to be
on the show. So I was like, oh, that sounds like pretty
cool. So I went and went to New York and she was so nice
and very interested in the story, had a lot of respect for her.
Cut to like, I don't know when it was. It might have been
a year later, it might have been two years later, but Elizabeth Vargas
came out as an alcoholic, as having a drinking problem, and my heart
went out to her. I was like, oh my gosh, no wonder.
She was so like into this story and so interested, you know,
you know, like if you are thinking I might have a problem with alcohol,
but if you're not telling anybody, what do you do? Google about
it? Like want to you know, eat soak up any stories about like
moms and drinking whatever. So I got it, and I was like,
I contacted the producer and I said, hey, I'd love to like get
a message to her of support, you know, and the producers like absolutely,
like, you know, send me, email me and send it to
me and I'll pass it along to her. So I wrote this like very
heartfelt, long email about how like how brave she is and like it's so
hard. And I also i'd heard, and I'm not telling tales out of
school, but I'd heard that like what had happened with her is that she
was like drunk on the job, you know, and they she got sent
to treatment, and I, like, I said, I felt really bad.
I understood how she felt, but like I did come to find out
that a lot of people had been pretty worried about her for like a while.
Anyway, she never responded to the email and that's fine. I was
like, okay, Like now, I talked to her for a long time
when I met her, and I talked to her before the interview and after
the interview, like I felt like we'd it's not like we were friends,
like Steven, I thought we were friends, right, you know. And
then I did find out later and I kind of was irritated about it,
but in a funny way. But I found out that afterwards she went out
to lunch with the other author who was on the show, Mary Carr,
who was like, was a much bigger name than me. But I was
like, you kind of all three gone out, I know, like,
how did I get hurt? Yeah? I flew to New York for this
too, you know. Anyway, so then she wrote a book about her
about sobriety. Anyway, in my book, I wrote a whole chapter about
that bitch, Katie Coreic and how she like kind of fucked me on the
interview I had with her. And I also talked all about my beautiful interview
with Elizabeth Vargas and how kind she was and how brave she is, and
I name checked her book and I gave some of her credits. So now
do you have to clear it with these people that you brought. No,
I guess not at either talking about Katie Couric or Elizabeth you don't have I
didn't really. I mean I'm telling you that I that I had a really
bad experience on Katie Couric. I toned it way down for the book.
The book, I didn't say anything that would I mean, I did wonder
if they were gonna Here's the thing when you write about people in a book,
if you're telling the truth, you can write whatever you want to.
What I was writing my experience, the experience I had with Katie Cork,
right, Okay, I wasn't writing it in a like I'm gonna get Katie
or who cares, nobody's gonna It's not an expose and Katie Kork, but
I told a story about her and I actually said that I am actually kind
of grateful to her in the end because it doesn't read the book. But
anyway, but I said all this nice stuff about Elizabeth Vargus. So I
contacted the old producer and I was like, hey, like, is there
any way I could get the book to Elizabeth Vargas to possible give me a
blurb like she's written her own book about sobriety, like right, like sister's
help insist us. Yes, right, I'm not thinking she's not Madonna's like
she's a journalist. Like I didn't know why she would be that hard to
get a blurb from, right, But the producer was like, sure,
absolutely sent. And I sent the producer the book, the chapter first,
and she was like, oh that's so nice. Yes, absolutely, send
a book and include a personal note for Elizabeth. So I I wrote a
letter, like a little letter and like thank you for reading this, and
like there I spoke about you nicely and the blah blah blah, and you
know whatever, put it in the book. Took it myself, like sent
it, you know, fedexed it to her to her office. Then I
followed up a little later because I didn't hear anything. I followed up with
the producer and she was like, oh, you know what, send me
a copy as well, and I'm going to walk it over there too.
So I do it. She's like yeah, I made sure she definitely got
it, and I'm like, thank you. So never ever heard anything about
it, right, right, never heard anything about it again. But she
does mention me on this skinny confidentially, here we go, doctor that they
have like wine night and like then it starts later on to become a problem.
So oh yeah, the woman, the woman who wrote the book Sippy
Cups Are for sartin Ay and Nap Time is the New Happy Hour later had
to quit drinking. And because she admitted she too was an alcoholic, she
just wrote a brand new book in fact, and sent it to me to
read or maybe to give a blurb or something. I haven't read it yet,
but it is a very common like fuck off, Elizabeth Fargas, Like
what was that was literally like nine months ago? Like you? Yeah?
That? And first of all, that's not the name of the book.
It's called it's not called sippy Cups or for Chardenay. It's called sippy Cups
Are not for which. Now I don't want to sound totally ungrateful. Now
I actually missed. She didn't know my name, Okay, so she doesn't
mention me by name. She just it's like it's coming to her, like,
yeah, that woman that wrote these books about alcoholism and she came out
as an alcoholic. Yeah, I guess she wrote. She even wrote another
book. I don't know. She sent it to me, I haven't read
it, right, It's like, wow, I have you obviously didn't even
read the note that I gave you inside of it, Like and I listen,
that sucks. I understand that she's crazy busy. I really do.
She's a she is an award winning journalist. I get it. But like
you got time, you're doing a podcast. I know she's done several like
podcasts and guests on podcasts, but like, ill, come on, man,
disrespectful, right, very disrespectful. I would have hated that if that
if I were you, when I first act like, I was like,
oh she mentioned me, Like yeah, I mean she doesn't mention your name,
she doesn't say my name, she gets the name of the book wrong.
And then she like, I don't know she sent it to me for
a blurb, Like like I'm begging for her to help me. Now I
didn't even read it. That was nine months ago. On that ship has
sailed. The book is coming out with no blurb from Elizabeth Vargrass, which
is fine, she doesn't owe me a blurb, right, But I will
say that, like almost anyone who's ever sent me a book for a blurb,
I can't say that I've always read their books. But I have always
been like, if it's something that seems up my alley, I'm like,
yeah, it tell me what the book is about, or I'll read like
a pages like you know, I feel that I'm generous in that way and
not everybody has to be. But like, come on, I know,
but you didn't even say the title of my book, correct, I know,
and get that like the author's name, like yeah, she just or
saying about I'm going to read it. Hey, if you're listening, I
will read your book at some point, like just say, why are you
being like dismissive about it? I know, so you don't think I'm being
like overly sensitive. I know I would thought it would be rude too.
It's totally rude. It sucks. That sucks. I feel bad. You
don't need her anyway, I know, but I'm like, all right,
at least she said I have a new book coming out. Maybe, but
are actually fans will be like, oh thanks for the heads up, right
right, So thank you Elizabeth for nothing. God, Well, anybody everybody
can go pre order the book now, go get go pre order it if
you want to. You know, maybe you could pre order it for somebody
