Made a decision. I'll face sunny sumone on. I had a vision night
to meet. What's up everybody? Hey, Thanksgiving week, y'all. Yeah,
we're here on a Sunday morning recording. Yeah. So I leave tomorrow
for Chicago, flying out with just me and Sonny, and then Natali is
gonna come and on Tuesday Wednesday? Oh why not till Wednesday? Because she
wanted to have a little Thanksgiving at her boyfriend's house a couple of days before.
So it was fine. That shit ain't gonna last, I know,
but okay, okay, and last thing I need is a moping teenager in
Chicago, right, so I don't care. Was no skin off my nose.
She's going on the same the same time as arriving, but just a
couple of days later. So yeah, but so then you're staying through the
end of the week. Yeah, then we get back on Saturday. Oh
okay, yeah, stay in at Anti Wendy's. It's gonna be fun.
Yeah. The babies, a lot of babies. Oh my gosh, what
are you doing for Thanksgiving? Every Thanksgiving I go to my brothers, and
last Thanksgiving I was I remembered John was sick. John was getting over the
flu and Xander was sick, so those two stayed home. Oh and just
the girls went. And yeah, and we didn't bring the dog. Usually
we bring people with us, right, people is like our babies. She
cannot She can't be home for like the whole day, like from twelve to
seven or eight o'clock at night. Like that's just it. It's like a
long time. I agree. And it's not even the she needs a walk,
because I think she could be okay without a walk, she can go
eight hours. It's that she would just it's just sad, it is.
I know. It's like what do they do all day? Don't gay get
bored? Yeah? You know. Yeah, she is a dog that does
not like to be alone. It's not that she's bad. She won't like
bark or be caredring or anything like that. She's just sad. Yeah.
I know Phil too, he's a people person, which I'll tell you about
Phil. Can I just tell you a quick thing that happened to me the
other day that dog related. So I'm at I'm at one of my special
meetings, and afterwards, there's like a guy standing outside with this really cute
looking kind of puppyish looking white dog, no collar though, no leash.
It's just kind of standing there like by his feet, and a few of
us are like, oh my gosh, like you do. And apparently people
know the dog. So I forgot the dog's name. What if I was
like, I'm not gonna say the dog's name. I don't remember. Let's
just say it was like Lucy. They're like Lucy, Oh my gosh,
let me cute Lucy and they go over. So, of course I've never
met a dog. I didn't want a pet, so I'm like, don't
leave me out. So I come over there, and I like and somebody
like reaches out to pet the dog, and I like, get down low,
and the guy is like, Lucy, go say hi to these people,
like you know. The guy's like, Lucy, go say hi,
you know. So she kind of comes over towards me, and I'm I
don't I understand dogs. I didn't like get in her face or do anything
weird or make any sudden movements. I was just like, hi, how
are you? And she looks me straight in the face, and then all
of a sudden, out of nowhere, she just the dog just goes and
jumps at my face and tries to bite my face. Oh my god,
I swear to god. It was like like angry. This was not like
a puppy like going to like like playing. This was not playing. The
dog was not wagging its tail. The dog got fucking pissed and went for
me, and I was shocked out of my mind. It was like the
scariest thing. If that had been a kid, it would have caused a
lifelong fear of dogs. You know. It was fucked up, and I
was like, of course, I mean I almost had a heart attack.
I thought the dog was going like it tried to bite my face. I
pulled back really quick and it went to like kind of bite at my arm.
And then the guy's like, oh, she's fine, she's fine.
I hate when people do that. And I go I was like, uh,
your dog's not fine. And then I just turned around and like I
walked away very fast. He did not say like Lucy, don't correct,
Nope, he was like she's fine. And then it was like I felt
so gaslighted. Right for a minute. I was like I guess she's fine,
like and there's people no gas by the guy like like oh she's fine,
Like oh, I'm crazy that your dog didn't try to bite my face.
I wasn't crazy because then this other woman who I'm friends with was like
she she turns around, she was like, Stephanie, wait wait, and
I was like I was. I was like goodbye. I was like power
walking out of that parking lot. And then this other woman she's she looks
at me. She goes Stephanie, and I like turn around to look at
her, and she gives me a look like what the fuck? So I
knew I wasn't crazy, and then she and then she sort of started walking
towards me, and I was like, she was like that dog was not
fine, and I was like I know, and she goes, he needs
to put a freaking leash on the dog. I was like, that dog
is no leash, no caller. It's like dog could have chased me,
I tried to bite me. To get these people that don't put a leash
on their dog, especially if their dog gets aggressive like that, I know
there's you don't think that's the first time that's and I guarantee you what's happened
before. You know, either dogs have it in them to do that or
they don't. They don't have the bone in their body, a mean bone
in their body, or they do, or they can get a little testy,
right, and even if they're young, it's not like even a young
dog shouldn't be like attacking people, right, right, we put a leish
on it, you fuck, especially like in a public place, public place
with a bunch of people, who are you know, just trying to make
them their ladder. Just we're just over here trying not to drink, all
right, right, I had to have a beer just to calm down.
And I don't even count that against my sobriety, Like that's what's just necessary.
I was just medicinal. Oh my god. Yeah, like seriously,
co fuck, it's wrong with people. Watch watch the reddit thread come out.
She's not sober. No, right, I'm joking. Okay, you
know what we have to do. Let's say say hi to these assholes.
Yeah, okay. I was listening to my old co host of Rose Pricks,
Ronnie Carum my my og co host his podcast Watch What Crappens is huge,
by the way these days, very very big podcast, very very very
very big in America podcast, and he was so he they don't give a
fuck, just like we don't like they swear all the time. And he
was talking about how he used to like do cocaine and like proud of it,
and I was like, yeah, you don't have to like water it
down. Like I don't know our audience right anyway. Like share Bear,
you know, share Bear is like girls and Amy kunt Ah. So somebody
on our Facebook posted that they were at work and they were like joking around
and they said something called people cunts, and she was like everybody like freaked
out, Like everybody looked at her like, oh my god. They were
shocked. And then she realized, oh, I got it the sea words.
Not for everyone else. I think that mistake a lot sometimes when I'm

It's just not going away. It's been months, and I do you
think you should see a doctor? Probably I don't really want to have a
doctor. Maybe I shouldn't. Everybody kind of has this cough in my house
right now, and it's just it's just not going away. It's not like
a huge burden, but it's not really going away either. Yeah, my
kids they got a little cold going on too, and it's like, really
right before we have to travel, Oh, you know, but what and
tell me what's going on with Sonny. So Sonny is you know we've been
doing. I can't remember the last way I left off what we were doing.
I left off that doctor Bruce was like, that kid needs a CT
scan and I will order it. Yes, Yeah, So I sit for
an MRI something he wanted him and to have an MRI. So I talked
to his doctor and I got him on the ball and I tell you,
like Wendy, and I called the doctor. Wendy, no, tell me.
Wendy goes, uh, she goes, you want me to get on
the phone with this doctor and a lot of fire underneath them, And I
go, yeah, it sounds like me. Yeah, that's how I would
be. Yes, let me call him. Let me. So I was
like, okay, She's like, so I know everything. He's on this
medication, he's been on it for this long blah blah blah blah blah.
So so I call the doctor's office and it's her right, I go,
you do the talking, and it's like, bring hello, mister urology,
can I help you? And she's like, yes, I'm calling for my
son, Santino Corolla. He's been seeing the doctor for three months now.
He's not getting any better. He's been on the same medication. Now the
doctor upped his medication. I've been told from family friend doctor that he should
probably have an MRI. No other test have been done except for the da
da da da da da. Then she goes, oh yeah, hell yeah.
She goes, what's your son's state of birth? She goes O June
seventh, two thousand and five. Six, I go, I go two
thousand and six, and she goes. The other lady starts laughing because she
can hear. She's like, what was there an echo in here? Oh?
No? Then she can and then she's like, okay, what pharmacy
do you go to? And she's like the one in Lacquersenna, and like
I had to like step in, and the lady like, okay, I
understand that there's a couple of people on the phone, so just one person
answer, but we were like laughing, like oh my god. So anyway,
so then the doctor called and he was like he said, I really
want to do is a ultrasound on his kidneys and liver, just to make
sure because everything every other test is coming back normal. So he did did
an ultrasound. Now, so he did do an ultra So he said,
bring him in tomorrow eight forty five am. We'll do the ultrasound. I
bring him in. The parking at this place is horrendous. So I pull
in front of the building and I said, go upstairs, Sonny, I'll
meet you upstairs. So I go to park, I get inside and he's
already done with his ultrasound like that fast. Yeah, he didn't see the
doctor. He saw a technician. Just did a quick ultrasound. Done.
That was it. I was like, okay, now when am I going
to hear back from the doctor. Well, you should hear something tomorrow morning.
Okay, tomorrow morning comes tomorrow afternoon. Get Wendy on the blow or
now I call I got I want what's going Yeah, like, what's going
on? Again? We're heading into Thanksgiving week. If things don't change,
we're gonna waste another week. He's got to get on a plane. This
kid's uncomfortable for sitting too long. He's missed school. He can't sleep,
he's suffering, blah blah blah. And so I call and then he's like,
uh, the doctor's not in until later today, so you'll get a
call back either at the end of the day or first thing in the morning.
And I was like, you gotta be fucking kidding. So anyway,
they call me back for the doctor calls me first thing in the morning and
he said his test results came back fine. Everything is fine. He said,
I gave you I said, because when we went for the MRI,
he gave us a new medication to start, and he said, try the
new medication and and you should start. He should hopefully start to feel better
by like next week. So by Thursday, Friday sat by like Monday after
a few days. So here we are Sunday, he is starting to feel
a bit of a difference, okay, And tomorrow we travel. So I'm
gonna tell the doctor's going to touch base with me on Monday. So we'll
talk tomorrow. But so he doesn't want any more tests. He doesn't want
to do an MRI. I asked him, and he said, he said
he wanted to start with with the kidneys. That was the most important.
So and then he was like, let's try this new this new medication.
So I don't know. I don't know. Do we order an MRI?
I mean, maybe I should call Bruce, But does he know what this
what could be causing this? Because the medication is going to be is it
going to fix the problem or is it going to be does he have to
be on medication? Can No, it can't. It's what it's got to
do, is he has to be on this medication for a while so it
can correct. The bladder just corrects itself. It's an overactive bladder basically,
And that's that's it, I guess. And it's like and it's common in
kids his age, because I've never heard of that. I had a friend,
Suzanne's friend's son had pretty much the same thing, so I have.
Suzanne's been telling me about her friend who went through it with her teenage son.
Sounds about the same. He did physical therapy blah blah blah. And
Sonny's doing a little bit of physical therapy, but really, like, you
know, whatever the doctor has told him to do, we haven't. He
hasn't. He's not going to physical therapy right, but but he has noticed
a change. She's noticed a difference, like he doesn't have to constantly,
like you know, go to the bathroom all the time. So we'll see.
Uh, but it's just been it's been daunting, like every day,
you know, it's extraining and he used to do. You're just trying to
find out what the fuck is the problem. Yeah, but you know,
but we'll see, you know, we'll see. Well, let's take a

was thinking. I had this thought the other day, I wonder and I
thought, I gotta share this with Linnette. You ever texting with somebody like
an old friend, right, Like you think of somebody that you're like,
oh, I haven't talked to that person in a while, and you send
them a text and you go, hey, how have you been, you
know, and then they're like, oh my gosh good and then they start
texting you back and then like you're just going back and forth for like a
while, and then they go, we should like get together for like lunch
or coffee, and you're like, bitch, we just did what do you
think this was? No? No, we're good right right? Right?
Like yeah, then what what would we talk about? Like we just talked
like, yeah, we're we're caught up right. I don't need to see
you in person, Like I never made that much time for you before.
Why are we right? Why did you do that recently? Oh? It
totally happened to me recently. Yes, I was texting with somebody and they
were like, we should go have coffee and I was like, no,
we did this counts. How about this? Brew yourself a cup of coffee?
Read my test. I was like, these people don't understand, like
what a tight schedule, right? You know? Even though I don't have
a tight schedule. But I was like, I think I'm gonna stay home
and like catch up on Netflix. Like I know, now you gotta get
dressed, you gotta go put Like yeah, brush your hair, get your
car. I was like, it's not to say that, like if a
friend of mine, let's just say, was like like, I like,
I literally do have a friend of mine listener of our show. Oh give
her a shout out. My friend Tory Tory Weber listens to this show.
I don't know if she still listens to it, but anyway, Uh,
she's she moved, she's coming back in town. I would hate for her
to think I was talking about her. She what, We don't have long
texting. She just happened to go like, Hey, I'm going to be
in town. You want to get together for lunch or coffee? And I
was like, oh, yes, that's the kind of that's an appointment,
that's like oh I haven't seen, but not an acquaintance that I wouldn't have
been having coffee or lunch with anyway. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, no, I know what you mean. But you're a better person
than me, because I wouldn't even reach out to these views because they're just
an acquaintance. I ain't reaching out to anybody you ever, like barely answer
the people that are talking to me now on my text. I know,
I know, I know what you're saying. But that's what I mean.
When it's like, oh, you just thought of somebody or there was some
situation. You know, you mostly see them on Facebook, but then like
there's something happens and then you like reach out. So you're like, oh,
hey, I heard about the blah blah blah, you know, and
then they start writing me back and forth. Then they want to go out
coffee, and you're like, oh no, no, no, slow down,
no yeah no, yeah yeah. Then I have friends that like,
okay, I'm thinking of one in particular who doesn't listen to this show so
it doesn't matter, but who like who will be like do you want to
get together? Do you want to get together? Do you? And I
kind of feel sorry, I kind of feel bad for the person. It's
an older person in my life who like I feel a little bit caretakery of
like, so when they guilt me like oh I never see you and like
we should get together, and then I go like I don't want to.
But then I'll go all right, how about like this day, you know,
okay, next week, I can do it this day. And then
they go okay, great, like we'll go off lunch, you know,
and then like the day before that, you then you don't hear from them,
and then you're like, okay, so are we a meeting because I
didn't want to meet in the first place. I don't want to meet who
don't Yeah, And then they're like, oh, this thing came up,
and it's like, say less, you know what I mean, But like,
then don't start coming back to me in a week, Like if I'm
going to like assuage my guilt by by going like, let me get this
out of the way, let me go meet up with this person, buy
them lunch so that I don't have to see them again for a month,
you know, or so or longer. And then they're like this other friend,
like good, don't come out a week later ago. We never have
what like you had your chance, get on it, or you're out or
you're out. I barely want to go to lunch with my own kids,
I know, and my kids are always ready to go to lunch, yes,
they were, just like, you know, I'd rather stay home and
cook than like, you know, yeah, why we got to get up
and go and like, yeah, you know what, I have a problem
now, Like everybody's driving. I get freaking pissed because they these kids just
park in my driveway blocking me in, and then they leave and sometimes don't
come back. There's one kid that left her car at our house and she
drives her brother's Ford f one fifty truck. It's huge and it's it's in
and she kids don't know how to park. They just pull right in and
then goodbye, and then they go off in somebody else's car and then their
car is left at my house. Last weekend, she left her truck at
our house all weekend, and it just it was I'm like maneuvering going in
apt like trying to get my car. I gotta like maneuver around her truck
all weekend, right, So then it's like, yeah, so then I
tell her to tell you. I go tell your friend, not the parker.
Why are you being so mean? You know? And it's like what
I'm trying to get in, I'm just trying to live my life, right,
I'm trying to get groceries out of the car. I'm trying to just
pull in, pull out, I'm trying to maneuver. I'm trying to do
like this whole thing around this Ford f one fifty truck. Then last night,
where is she going by the way that she has to leave her car
there for all weekends? Where she's did That's what I said. She left,
She went home and she lives like around the block. She can walk
back and pick up her car. Rah, But no, she just left
it all weekend. It was just there all weekend. Sonny and I were
like, what the fuck is going on with this kid? Come get your
car? Like why are you just leaving it? And to me, it's
kind of like no respect, have some respect, Like you're you know that
there's multiple people all got me out of Sonny's car. Everybody's coming and going.
You're just parking your car in the middle of in the middle of the
road. Pretty much in the real pri ad didn't get well because Adam wasn't
there that weekend. It was my weekend. Oh, believe you me,
he would have said something, Yes, he would have been And so I
say something and then it's like, why are you being so mean? Why
are you being such a bitch? You know what's why are you in a
bad mood? I'm like, I'm just trying to move. Then last night
what happened? Uh? So Phil? As you? We? You and
I text last night Phil. I was so excited. Phil supposed to come
back on Tuesday of right before Thanksgiving, and I was like, why why
are we doing that? Why not? We we have an offer on the
house, We're gonna be home. Well, Adam's gonna be around for Thanksgiving.
We're gonna be gone, but Sunny and I want to see Phil.
We're gonna miss him. We're gonna be gone for a week. Why is
he gonna come home on Tuesday? Why not I just go get him on
Saturday? Let me go get him and bring him home and all because like,
don't go just leave him there until the last And I was like,
no, I'm gonna go get Phil. So Saturday comes, I go pick
him up. And so you're not because you have an offer, you're not
showing the house anymore, not right now because it's Thanksgiving, we're not doing
any open houses or so so we go, I go pick up Phil on
Saturday. I had a bunch of stuff to do. So she's like com
at like four thirties, I go at four thirty, I pick him up.
By eight thirty, I was in the er with Phil at all,
just back again, and I called Olga and she's like, I told you
not to go pick him up? What happened? So what happened is what
happened was I went. I was so excited by the way Natalia, who
doesn't care for Phil that much, even she was excited to see him.
She was like in bed with her friend, like watching TV, and I
go, Phil's here, and she like, oh, she got out of
bed and came and hugged him and patting him. And Phil lost a ton
of weight. Oh, I would say a ton, but he got very
thin. He's you could see his little waistline, you know, they say,
yeah, labs, you want to be able to see that waistline.
Yeah, he's lost weight because I'm sure he's not doing anything at this place
except for eating his food and not eating leftovers, right, Adam do so?
Anyway, so I'd pick him up, and Sonny was everybody was so
excited to see Phil. I was like, oh, Phil, I'm so
happy to see. And then I'm doing laundry, getting ready for this trip,
and and I go upstairs and I'm on the phone, and I realized,
like, Phil's not Usually Phil follows me everywhere. He's glued to my
side, right, Okay, So the kids went out, I'm alone with
Phil. I'm doing laundry and it's like eight seven thirty at night and I'm
on the phone and I don't see Phil. I'm like, where's Phil?
Where's Phil? So I go and I already did a sweep of the house
to make sure that there's nothing that Phil, you know, would get into.
So where is he? So I go? And then he comes.
He's starting to come up the stairs and he's licking his lists oh, like
you could tell, and he's licking his paws like he got in And I
go, what the fuck did you get into? But I go around the
house. All the doors are closed, all the bedrooms doors are closed.
Nothing go in the kitchen, nothing, go in the living room, nothing,
my room, nothing, What the what? And I was like,
really, were you just not doing any were you just hanging out downstairs and
you're just licking your chops? I don't know. So then I go,
hold on, So I go back down in the kitchen. There's a pantry
closet and I just like looked in there and there's a big bag, empty
bag of one of those switched. They're like, are they're truffle balls?
I know what you're talking about, lindor lindor truffle balls. And there's four
different flavors. There's carameuth, there's milk, chocolate, dark extra dark chocolate,
dark chocolate, like four different flavors a bag. That's about about a
pound worth of truffle balls in this bag. And I don't know if it
was I don't know where this whose bag it is, I've never seen it.
I was like, where did this come from? And it was just
torn No, no wrappers. Each ball is individually wrapped. You think Phil's
gonna sit there and peel the wrapper off of of these things. No,
it's just a bag, ripped apart, and no wrappers to be, no
tinfoil wrappers at all, no lawn. And I don't even know how many
balls are in this bag or what I just pantry was reclosed. No,
no, no, we don't close the doors. It's not a pantry with
food. It's pantry with like like plates and dishes and stuff. There's no
food in there. But I went back down there and I saw. I
don't. I was just like, let me go, and it was you
saw something that had been on the shelf, right, No, I saw
something on the ground. I saw a bag ripart on the ground, okay,
because I was like something he must have got into something somewhere. So
I was like, what, whose bag of chocolates is this? Where did
it come from? And and in the closet I look and there's a there's
a cardboard box and it's all of like business cards of the realtor and flyers
of the house, and it's closed, but fill opened it got it open.
And apparently the realtor had these balls that he would put out in a
dish during open house, and he put it in his box and he left
it in that pantry where there's no food except for these chocolate balls in that
pantry. And because I was like, because I sent, I was like,
whose chocolate is this? I asked old Ga and she goes, I
don't know. She goes, Lynette, I've never seen that bag. And
then I said it's sitting next to like, I think it's it. You
think it's pe it's it's our realtor's stuff. And she goes, oh,
I think so because he puts that stuff out during open house and I was
like, what a fuck? Like really, and it was like Saturday night,
it was raining. I had so much to do before this trip.
We have to you know, I had to come here today. I mean,
I was like, I was just like, you got to be kidding
me. So I call the hospital. They could say, call poison control.
I call poison control. They said, poison control. Dog dog a
separate one. There's a separate one, okay. And that they do is
they give you a if your dog gets into something and they think that it
should be seen immediately, they'll give you a case number and a call back
phone number which the hospital deals with. You call the hospital and they will
take the dog right away. So I said, So I'm on the phone
and then she's like she's doing her calculations. How much does fill way?
How much was in the bag? I go, I don't I think it
just let's assume it was a full bag. And she's like, then the
lady on the hotline, she goes, well, she goes, you could
it's a little too much chocolate for comfort. And I was like, okay,
that's your technical Yeah. So she was like he should be he should
be too close for comfort, right, like, he should have induced vomiting.
She's like, you can do it at home, or you could take
him to the hospital. And I go, well, what what does it
entail if I do it at home sticking my finger down his throat And she's
like, no, you give him like three teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide. And
I'm like, how's he gonna get I'm gonna get him. She goes,
well, you put a peanut butter at the bottom of the bowl and then
you put the hydrogen peroxide and labs. Usually we'll just lick it up.
And I was like, I know this, no, and he has seizures
when he throws up, and what if he has So she's like, I
would take him. So I was like okay. So now it's eight thirty
at night and I called the hospital. I said, I'm bringing him in.
Here's his case number. They say he should have induced vomiting, and
they say, you only have like two hours now, really, yes,
because then their body starts to process. Yes, So you got to about
two hours and it was about an hour at this point where I called the
hospital. They're pretty close by, and I said I'm bringing them in.
Here's the case number. And then they said, uh, okay, well
just so you know, we'll bring them in right away and induce vomiting.
But there's a three to five hour wait for what That's what I said.
I said, but you're gonna bring him in and make him throw up?
Then what he's like, Well, if there's there's about until the doctor can
like fully examine him and everything, and then we deem him okay to go
home. It could be three to five hours. Not saying it will be
that, but it could be that okay. And at first I was like,
maybe I'll make him throw up at home, but then I was like,
I don't think it's gonna be that. It can't be that. But
then I pull in and it's all packed. Every spot is taken at this
hospital. It's a twenty four hour hospital. Everything, every spot. There's
people waiting in the waiting room. Is it an access access whatever, it's
a it's a no, it's a it's called something else. Okay. Anyway,
it's in Glendale. It's a twenty four hour hospital, pet hospital.
And and so I bring him in and they're like, Phil Corolla, Yep,
right this way you know, he's got to get induced as vomiting,
right, And luckily I was out and back home by ten fifteen. Ten
thirty, oh, because they did bring him in right away. The doctor
can even talk to me. He's fine. Did he throw up lindor rappers?
He threw up thirty? She said that the tech counted thirty rappers at
least, Oh my god, threw up a lot of chocolate. Mm hmm.
That's crazy. Thirty of them? He ate? Yes, what's wrong
with this fucking dog? Understand too? If they were fully wrapped, how
do you even enjoy that? I don't. I'm not like you can't.
You can't taste the flavor through the wrappers, I know, and there's not
There wasn't any rappers. It was just the bag, right, That's what
it was. We ate them all rap, all rap, Like? How's
he couldn't like you said, he can't can a peel him apart? Right?
That just doesn't sound tasty. I know, Philip just swallows food whole
anyway, yes, or socks, yes, but that's what I'm saying.
But how can that? How can that taste that good? I just I
don't know? But what am I going to do with this dog because he's
like on a mission. You think he's trying to kill himself or something.
He's very self destructive. He is. I think he needs like a meeting,
he needs therapy. It's ridiculous, like he's gonna kill himself. Can
we introduce him? You say he's a therapy dog, and people are like,
oh, like he gives people therapy. Like no, he's like he's
in therapy. He's like a dog that's getting therapy exactly. I'm gonna get
him a muzzle. You know. We need to talk about though, something
good. Yeah, is Thrive Cosmetics. Love Thrive that we absolutely love.

even with makeup remover, the next day, you still get that under
eye. Not with Thrive. Now Thrive those little tubes they slide right off
your eyes with just a little warm water and a wash. The best.

So I just wanted to give you a little update on my version of
phil Help. Yeah. So when we last talked, her ear had swelled
up with a hematoma. Yeah, I thought what it was, and then
it got drained and then the doctor said it could come back, and then
but it should resolve on its own. Uh huh. So it came back
right away. This isn't. The thing I don't love. I hate is
like about the vet, right, okay, okay, Well, like I
feel like there's this is just not an exact science, but I guess human
medicine isn't either. It's like I just want them to say, if you
say, like this is what it is, we're going to bring her back
and we're gonna open it up and drain it and then like she should be
good to go. Otherwise it might come back. But then you know what
you do. You google it and it says like, oh no, these
things always come back. Like you got to find out what the cause is.
Why are they like shaking their heads? It's usually happens because dogs shake
their heads. Well I had never noticed that up before, but John was
like, oh, yeah, she does that all the time. You haven't
seen that, Like she just starts violently. She just shakes her head back
and forth really fast. Sometimes. I always think it's like kind of likes
people stretch. It's like just shake shaky, you know. I don't know,
so I never thought that much of it, but apparently that can continue
to bring it back. So the things I read were like, you got
to find out the root cause of it. So I said to John,
Hey, I checked with Google, and Google says we got to find out
the root cause of it. I really like her a vet, by the
way, so this isn't a matter of like, I'm not like vet hopping
right now, because this vet. I think he's really smart and knowledgeable,
and he's so great with her and very well reviewed on Yelp. People love
that. So I wasn't like trying to second guess the vet. But I
was like, didn't they say, like doing the call, you know,
and what did they say happens once it comes back? You know? It's
like the guy they don't like. I'm more detail oriented, right, like
John, I'll just come home and be like, well they said it's We're
all good, and I'm like, okay, But they said it could come
back, and then what I think it should resolve? I said, did
they say it? So two days later, it's back and it's just as
bad as ever. So now it seems to have gone down a little bit.
Okay, So we call the vet back. Yeah, We're like,
hey, so this is back just as bad as it was before, and
she doesn't have an ear infection or anything. No, So that's the thing.
They so they said they had checked her ears and said, no,
her ears are clear. She's good. So I'm like, well, what
do we do? Do we just wait for it to But I had also
read that if you let it resolve on its own, it could be I
guess technical term is fucked up, Like it could be like cauliflower ear but
with a dog like it could get the fluids trapped in there, but then
a scar tissue go. I don't know, but it didn't sound good,
right, So not like she's not like a show pony or anything, but
I don't want her to have a fucked up ear. So I was like,
well, what do we So I think I was maybe coming here.
I don't know what I was doing, but I was like, can you
call the vet back and find like, tell him it's back. So he
called the vet back and they were like, Okay, what we're gonna do
next is we're gonna open it back up. Oh, because they wanted to
give her steroids, but she does not. She had steroids once when we
first got her, like, and she had a bad reaction to them.
She went crazy, like she was running back, pacing back and forth through
the house and then she like pooped on Elbie's rug. Yeah, and then
felt really bad about like she was. I feel like she got very disoriented
and didn't know and was it was bad. So I was like, So
they said, what they're going to do is they're gonna drain her ear again
and put steroid directly into her ear. Oh earflap, It's not like in
into her inner ear. So then we had to take her off of her
arthritis meds for a week. So it's been now tomorrow will be seven days
off of her arthritis medicine. So she's just been a little stiff and maybe
uncomfortable. But I guess it should get resolved tomorrow. So they're going to
put the shot in her ear and then that's gonna help it so it doesn't
fill up I guess with fluid. I guess. So, and then does
she get to go back on her arthritis? I don't That is a very
good question. I don't know, I would think, because if she is
arthritis, how do you know when somebody's got how do you know when a
dog's got arthritis? Well, because years ago, not long after we had
her, which is why I suspected she was older than her age she was
having trouble standing up like she was her She couldn't like stand and she was
kind of like wobbly, and so we took her in and we got her
x rayed and they found it on the x ray. Okay, so they
can see it, like they can see the I don't know the bones how
they're like rubbing against each other or whatever. So she's been on meds like
ever since then, and every now and then she gets an x ray and
they're like, yeah, that's the but it's just like in her back a
little bit. It's not that bad. And honestly, she hasn't there's days
I've missed giving her the meds. It's not like she has any trouble walking
or standing. She just gets She's very slow, right, Yeah, Phil's
getting slow, slowing down. Yeah, I noticed that he's slowing down a
little bit. How old is he now? He's like seven, Okay,
that's still young. It's young, but you know, I mean if he
plays his cards right, he can go for a while still. But he's
not taking care of himself. No, he's really not. No, And
he hasn't said much since he got home. Like I was like, Phil,
Phil, are you excited to be home, and he just like plops
down on my bed. You know, how was the picking when you went
to get him? So when we last recorded, you were going to spring
him for that day, did you? No? Okay? No, So
when you went I went to go get him. Yeah, he was super
excited because I because he likes anybody that likes him. So I was like
Philly boy, Philly boy, and he like, I think it took him
a second, like because he walked out with her and he was just kind
of smelling on the ground and then when he heard me kept talking. I
go, Philly, come here, Philly, come here, and then he
looked up at me and it was like then he ran to me and he
like jumped, like he jumped on me, like he was jumping and jumping
and wagging and wagging and wagging. Yeah, it was really nice. And
then I took him home and he was like, wow, look at this
reception I'm getting like Natalian, her friends and Sonny and everybody's petting him in
the hallway and he's like wagging his tail and then and then everybody went back
to their room and he's like, well, this is boring. And then
I took him for a little walk and then all hell broke loose after that
and then he ended up in the hospital. Oh my god. And that
was just last night. That was just last night. And Sonny was leaving
with his friends and he was like right down the street. He didn't know
what happened. And I put him in the car and he goes. So
I call Sonny, I go where are you? And he goes, I
just left with my friends. He goes, that was that you that just
went down the street like a bat out of hell? And I go yes,
and he goes, where are you going? And I go, I'm
taking pill to the hospital And he's like, what, Phil just got home
like three hours ago. I go, I know, well, somebody left
freaking chocolates in the pantry that I didn't know about. And there you go.
I really do think I'm gonna buy him a muzzle thing he should be.
He should have a muzzle, like one of those things you know that
they it's gonna hurt my feelings, but I don't know what to do,
Like it's gonna ar be able to like drink water now, I think they
can with those. I think there's something something's gotta give this guy. He's
just But how did I know he Everything would have been fine. I didn't
know that chocolates were left right in the closet. Right. You thought you
were doing your due diligence, right, You paroled the house patrolled, yes,
pearol, Yes, I did her house on parole. Yeah, looked
for the contraband did a sleep of the house, shut all the doors.
But then like this morning, I go to leave Natalia's doors open. He
goes into her bathroom, he gets into her trash, you know, but
she leaves her door open. You know. It's right, the friends,
the friends that leave shit right. But whatever happened, how did the car
set the truck situation get resolved? Did you tell Natalia to tell her friend
that gets her truck? Yes, and she finally did. She came and
picked it up on Sunday morning, and I told her, I said,
don't part. But then somebody else left, like last night, left their
car in my in the driveway. So I'm trying to back out and I
can't. I got it like it's too like I park in the garage and
they don't see my car. So they just pull up and right in front
of the garage, and it's like there's plenty of room pull over or park
on the street, right, just park on the street. Yia's boyfriend parks
on the street always. Never it's her girlfriends. It's just coming, you
know, whatever they think. They're just always pulling up to a valet.
I know. It's like, come on now, I feel like you have
told me this now several times. But when is Natalia getting hurt? She's
got she she has an appointment. She had to cancel the appointment because she
got sick the first one, the first one for the GMV right then she
had scheduled another one though she has this another one scheduled, but it's after
Thanksgiving. Okay, they don't have any openings until then. We tried all
the DMVs in the area too, okay, So the closer, the soonest
that they can takers after Thanksgiving. Yeah, she can't wait to get her
life right after Thanksgiving or think it's like a couple of days. It's like
the week after, right the twenty eighth or something like that, right,
okay, but yeah, but she's already done with her driving lessons and all
that. And how Sadie doing. Sadie's doing well she is driving, gonna
drive with John today. We always have the best intentions of driving with her
every single day to keep her limber, and then like we drive with her
and then we both need like some recovery time. Right, It's just nerve
wracking, I know. And then John will always take her out driving and
go like she did great, like but then I don't know why he doesn't
just do it every day, right, But I don't know. Yeah,
I know, it's just it is nerve wracking. I hated driving with them
at first, Like it's not pleasant, No, it's really scary. You
feel aut of control and you feel like what if they're gonna like hit somebody,
you know, like we talked about like yours are gonna come off.
Yeah, It's just it's not it's yeah, so I do sweat it out.
I thought I was doing better with her, but then the last time
I went, the old anxiety came back and I was just like felt like
I was jumping out of my skin, like and it can't be pleasant for
her either, to have her mom sitting next to her like gripping the right
oh god handle like constantly, and then I'm always like you're fine, No,
you're doing great, and I'm like, my hands are white from gripping
so hard. I'm like, no, no, no, that's just me.
Don't even worry about it. You're doing great, right, Your spatial
awareness is fine, like like I know, no, no, no,
that was just me. That was just an involuntary reaction, right, good,
Like every two seconds, I think the airbags are going to flow,
you know. I know. Yeah. It can be mentally exhausting, that's
for sure. Because my thing is like I have enough trouble driving myself.
Like sometimes when I'm driving, I'm like, oh God, that looks too
narrow. How am I going to get through there? You know, You're
like driving up a hill and there's a car coming down the hill. In
the streets in LA, they're so narrow, and I'm like, I didn't
sign up for this, Like I have pull over like camp out for the
night. Let the car pass, you know. I'm like, if that's
happening when I'm driving and I've been driving for forty years, like what you
know what i mean, I'm like, how the fuck is she supposed to
do? Maneuver that? I know? I always think too. I'm like
ELB is like Elbie's been driving for years now and she's a good driver,
and I still don't want to drive with her. Yeah, Like, given
the option of me driving or her driving, I'm gonna drive every time,
right, like, And it's just more relaxing. And I'm just saying,
honest to God, she's probably a better driver than I am, yeah,
because she's younger and has better reflexes and she's experienced r and you know,
but I'm like, as you get older, your reflex is kind of like
when I was driving Phil the other night to the hospital at night and the
rain, I was like, I'm getting old, Like I feel like like
I'm uneasy, Like I'm driving the speed limit, God forbid, you know,
just because it's raining, and it's like this is not like when I
was younger. I could handle it. Now it's as you get older,
it's and my eyes at the nighttime driving is not exactly I know. Got
to eat more carrots. Yeah, all right, listen, this has been
fun. Next, Okay, we have a Patreon for you, m H
