Speaker 3: I'll Spinnish and mad surny nice of madness, but it
jem Sin.
Speaker 1: Guy Chanzy hab.
Speaker 3: Got feel the Sunday seen Master.
Speaker 4: It's that angle.
Speaker 3: Hey, everybody, welcome to my final cloud. Another episode, another
one for Friday, Happy Friday. It's going down? What's going down? Okay?
So if you're listening to this, are you fucking up parenting?
Right now? I think I'm in Boston right now. I
got a phone call. So Stephanie and I were just
recording our Tuesday's episode a few minutes ago when I
see my phone blowing up from their school and I
and it was always about signed. So we were ending
the show. We got out. I listened to the message,
it's Natalia Mom. I'm in the office. I was wondering
if this is what she says, I should play it.
I was wondering if you could bring me my glasses
because I forgot I'm at home, and did you find
anything out about Boston? Are we going to Boston? So
if you can find my glasses, maybe in the kitchen.
And I really want to know if we're going to
go to Boston and please answer. Okay, I'm going to
try you back again. Thank you, like like like she's
being held hostage and she's trying to tell me a message.
Oh my god. She thought I was going to pick
up so that she could say, ask me if I know,
because I said to them when I dropped them off,
because they were super excited off the possibility, which I
should not have said anything. But I'm dumb of going
to Boston. I said, it's very slim to none, so
just if we go, it'll be a nice surprise, meaning
it's almost a sure thing. Oh my god. That's how
all parents should talk to their kids, just like it's
almost one hundred percent not going to happen, so that
they can feel pleasantly surprised. I've got anxiety. So anyways,
but you're doing it right, think I had, Yeah, I
think I am. Yeah. Oh my god, it's gonna be fun.
I'm like excited for you. Thank you guy. I wish
I was going so come come. Oh my god, of
course not God. I don't I feel that I'm a
good parent. You know that, Oh damn you. I'm just kidding.
I just think that worries me is that I'm alone
with two kids. But I guess, like, I mean, going
with them alone is no problem. It's going to the concert.
I think that'd be tricky over there, That's what I
was wondering.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I remember it's in Foxborough, which is the stadium is
I think it's like forty five minutes out from the city.
And I've been there once before to Sea Bruce and
we rented a car and I drove, and driving in
Boston is insane because the cars, I mean, the roads
are like all very confusing, and I had like a
this was before GPS. We had like the garment thing.
It was pouring rain. Okay, Uber with my kids, Yeah yeah,
they're not like sitting in special seats. Nah, I know,
all right, Why do you think that's not safe? No,
I think it's fine. The only thing I get raped
by an Uber driver with your kids right there, I
know it suck.
Speaker 6: I got enough to turn a great experience into like
a pretty bad experience.
Speaker 3: It's like that Susannah and I were coming out. The
only thing that was like, how how is Bruce? Well,
I mean I got raped by an Uber driver in
front of my kids. But I mean he played a
lot of songs that I was hoping you'd play, So
I guess that all set it offset. I mean we
were coming out of the stadium when Suzanne and I
went and saw them him met Life a couple of
weeks ago, by the way, and Uh, that's the thing
with Uber is when you're coming out of the stadium
at night, how do you get the uber? It's hard
to there's so many cars and there's so so much traffic.
How do we get out? There was a guy coming
up to Suzanne and I as we're scarfing down these
hot dogs that they, you know, because in New York
is to come out. They got the hot dogs cooking
and you're starving, and it's like, give me two of those,
and we just they were the best hot dogs. And
guy comes up and goes, you need a car, you
need ride back? And Suzanne's like how much. Suzanne's always
the she's in the negotiator. He's like how much where
are you staying? We tell him and he's like sixty
bucks and she's like, mmm, he's like fifty five fifty
or something like that. I don't remember because I had
a beer buzz and then she's like, all right, but
are you promised. I remember her saying, all right, but
you promise you won't kill us and kidnap bus And
I go, yeah, that would really suck, dude, don't do that. Okay,
walking really kill our bucks, got like the ketchup coming
down my face. People are listening to us and hearing
us talk to this guy. Just don't kill us.
Speaker 6: Okay, You're like, you've all you all witnessed this, right,
Like if you don't ship us.
Speaker 3: Ways, see you know would this license number? Seriously? So
did you go with him?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: We did?
Speaker 3: It was very nice. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just had been hearing that there's been some uber
rapes really lately. And I don't mean like really great races.
Speaker 3: I mean like amazing rapes. No, I mean that's a
new show, by the way, amazing rape. Now.
Speaker 6: I known that's funny, bone ate all my rape material
all these years.
Speaker 3: I haven't been pulling out my rape jokes amazing So No, but.
Speaker 6: I have was hearing that there's been some reports of
some rape super drives.
Speaker 3: That's true. Is worried? That is worrisome? Is that true?
It's terrible? They do on background a hell in a
hand baskets.
Speaker 6: This is like a pro raph like, I'm not laughing,
I'm laughing at horrible laughing. It's funny because it's horrible
Jesus Christ, in case you didn't realize, because it's funny,
funny because it's fed.
Speaker 3: It's fact or fun fact linette fact fact. Shut up, olguy.
So wait, it is that true? You've been here. I
did read about that on Facebook. I'm not kidding. That's weird.
Because I'll tell you this. We went, okay, I'll tell
you this because I went. We had a big Corolla drinks,
you know, coming out party in Manhattan Beach a couple
of nights ago, and everybody's like, Lena, you should uber.
It's Manhattan Beach, it's far. Where are you gonna park
and you're gonna be drinking? It's far. Anyway, I said, okay,
because I never really uber in our hometown. I just
drive and then I sober up and then drive, or
I drive drunk. So then anyway, by the way, I
just googled Uber rates and said, did you mean uber rates?
Speaker 6: Like no, I meant uber rapes met what I said,
bitch amazing, So they said yes. Comprehensive list of Uber
incidents of assaults. Yeah, Uber drivers accused of thirty two
rapes and sex attackts. Oh that's inn Okay, it doesn't
count on sorry, okay.
Speaker 3: So then anyway, I decide to uber it to Manhattan
Beach and the guy lives in our neighborhood, knows where
I live. And the whole time out there, he's talking
my ear off and he's like, yes, so you know,
I give you my number and anytime you need me,
you just you just something like He's like, call me.
But then Uber call Uber and then call me and
I will come and Uber I will tell Uber I'm
coming or whatever, and I will take you. And then
he's like, how long are you going to be here
in Manhattan Beach tonight at this bar that I'm dropping
you off at? And I said, I don't know. I
don't know, like ten or eleven. He goes, I could
I could stick around because he lives in my neighborhood.
He's like, I could stick around and then I could
take you home. And I was like, how much more
are that? Like?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: I don't know? Bee? Yeah, he creeped me out. Yeah, anyways,
and he farted up the thing like there's no tomorrow.
Oh my god.
Speaker 6: Odd, Like really, dude, So here's a problem with ubering
on your own. Now, I'm not trying to dish.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to dish like it's like it's gossip.
I'm not trying to, you know, take a pot shot
at Uber.
Speaker 6: But I'm saying, any of these ride companies, if you're alone, basically,
even if they don't rape.
Speaker 2: You on the way to there, oh my god, they
know where you live. That's the thing.
Speaker 3: You just so, even if they don't rape you immediately,
like they could, they could be putting a rape lay away,
like a rape for leader. We're not gonna be able
to use this show, Oh my god. Kayle all right, No,
we're not gonna say anything else. Okay, that's we're done.
May making fun hope. Trigger trigger warning, trigger.
Speaker 6: Warning, Pitch it to Mark Fornet amazing retroactive trigger warning.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, alright. There have been a lot of uber
drivers accused of rape though, And I do think I
would think twice about like just being all by yourself
as a girl and ubering somewhere, because then I don't know,
I don't like the fact that they know where you live.
I know I know, but what about me and the kids?
So you still up for that? I feel like that's fine.
I mean, you're and you're not even home. You'd be
You're gonna be at Boston, right, I think I'm fine. Childrenett,
I think i'll find getting there. I think it's gonna
be hard getting something home. Can you just call a cab?
I was thinking that old fashioned call a cab. I'm
sure there's gonna be cabs and everything. I'll figure. Yeah, anyways,
I'm one hundred percent sure there'll be cabs. Okay, all right,
I feel like there would also be ubers.
Speaker 6: Just go off to the side somewhere where it's not
crowded and tell the Uber driver where you are, to say,
I'm in a remote location.
Speaker 3: There's absolutely nobody around. It's just me.
Speaker 6: I'm wearing a really short skirt and a tube top,
so you'll be able to buy me easily.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, Okay, tend to suber to like the Angela's
forest or something.
Speaker 3: You know. Thank god it's not in Boston.
Speaker 6: Okay, So you think I should Italian really wants yes,
I do. I think you should go. Okay, right now,
you're already there, So this doesn't matter. All right, You're
gonna have so much fun. And you know what, your
kids are old enough to actually have a good time
with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, I yes, yes, and you'll
it'll be a full on bonding experience. Yes, it will.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 6: I always dread sometimes doing things with like all my
kids at the same time, and then if I do.
Speaker 3: Though, I'm always like, that was more fun than I
thought it was gonna be. Yeah, because other palm springs thing, right,
so much fun, so much fun doing that. Yeah, I
like doing stuff alone with the kids.
Speaker 6: Because listen, we always imagine that our kids, now that
they're older, are whinier than they actually are.
Speaker 3: And in the moment, kids our kids age are actually
much more helpful.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you think so if you're just saying, listen, guys,
get it together, stay close.
Speaker 3: We got to call a driver.
Speaker 6: The kids are going to be like, okay, yeah, I think,
and they're going to be excited to be on the trip,
and they're not going to be I think we imagine
that they're just.
Speaker 3: Going to be fighting and yeah, being annoying, but they're not.
They're not. So they're going to be good. They are,
They'll be great. All right, we're having a great time
right now. If anybody's listening in Boston.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm sure we'll see it on your Instagram. Yeah,
follow Lynette, Lynette.
Speaker 3: I'm coming home on Friday. I think, well, I don't know,
we'll see maybe we don't so what we Yeah, but
you never said before so Adam wanted to Yeah, that'sonating.
That's the thing he wants that he wants us to
come to his race in Laguna Friday, and you'd have
to fly back Thursday. Then I or he said, this
is what he said, Oh, you can come back Friday.
Just take the first plane out. Mike got Mike and
I do it all the time. Just take the first
flight out. You have to get up early. It's getting
seven am flight. But you'll get back to lay No.
Speaker 5: Seven.
Speaker 3: Mike August, This is too Mike August. Is not sunny
in Italia. Yeah, give them some almonds a banana, right,
get on the flight.
Speaker 6: What were you going to say, No, that's too early, right,
because if you have to be at the airport at seven,
if your flight's at seven, that's you're on crack. If
you think that that that's going to be doable with kids.
You'd have to leave at four in the morning. You'd
have to get up afore get packed. You have to
leave for the airport in plenty of time to get
to the gate, especially with kids. Yeah, for your let's
not forget that.
Speaker 3: We're three hours Boston's three hours ahead, so it's it's
gonna be three it's gonna be like in the middle
of the night for them, right, and then we've been
there two three days, but it's been a whirlwind. They're
gonna no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: You want to be able to get Yeah, have a
bite to eat, totally, you get to the airport.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Adam, He'll be fine, he'll be fine. Any who,
any who? What else? So Natalia is really dying to
know you die. I can't believe that. She just I
can't believe it. But she got excited. My god, I
should But is she really missing her glasses? She probably is, sure, yeah,
but I'm sure she's like, oh, I'll call my mom.
She knows I'm not at home. By the way, she
knows I'm podcasting. She knows I'm podcasting. I talked about
it on the way I gotta go to work. Because
she wanted to know everything why don't you call American Express?
Now I go, because you guys are in the car,
so like on the way to school, and I said,
I'm gonna call. As soon as you get out of
the car, I'm gonna call. And she's like, just call now.
I said no, because it's an automated thing. Because you
know what automated things like say one, say one for
travel or and it's like, if I say travel, it's
you guys are talking and it's gonna go Sorry. Didn't
understand that, sorry, and that it's going to hang out.
So you guys get out. I will call on my way.
I'm going from here to the studio and I will
call and Dylan's there. They know Dylan. Dylan's gonna help
me figure it all out while I'm podcasting, So she knows.
So she's hoping to catch me, is what she's trying
to do. And she knows you'll pick up because it's
coming from the school, right. Of course, nothing gives me
more panic than seeing my nipples number come up. I know, yeah,
I know. I had one of those the other day.
Did I tell you that what the natures calling me? No?
It was.
Speaker 6: It was totally fine, but it was a few days ago,
and it was just a teacher plus the principal, plus
I'm just telling.
Speaker 3: Me that Maddie was having a hard time this.
Speaker 6: My school is amazing, by the way, though, They really
just go above and be on to try to, you know, yeah,
keep everything cool. The teacher's so sweet. I love this
teacher that Maddie has. I love both the both of
the third grade teachers. I'm in love with both of them.
One of them that's not Maddie's teacher is the one
that Elbe had and it was like her best year
at school.
Speaker 3: I think she's just super fun. But the one that
Maddie has, we'd never had before. But everybody loves her
and she's just She told me that.
Speaker 6: She's been very being a little codependent with Maddie, basically
like is everything okay?
Speaker 7: Like are you?
Speaker 3: Is everything good?
Speaker 6: And she said I finally had to say, like, Maddie,
I'm not going to ask you anymore because it's got to.
Speaker 3: Be getting annoying. I keep going like, are you okay?
Is everything good? She's like, so you tell me if
something's not good and then we'll deal with it. But
I'm going to stop bothering you. Get lost my jack
so well, but what happened that he was, okay, you
just had.
Speaker 6: Had a thing that the truth of the situation was
that everything was fine and he just was having a day,
you know, But he said I had a great day.
He ended up telling oh, best day, and he said, oh,
my teacher wanted my advice about something. So it took
me aside and I gave my advice. And then this
other teacher had me help out in the classroom with
the younger kids. That was his teacher from last year.
I don't know whether Maddie was aware that he was
only telling me the good part or not, but he
never said I was feeling sad or anything. And he
had a great rest of his day.
Speaker 3: Apparently that's good. But the point was you get a
call from your school and then they're like, oh, hi,
it's this person, this person and the principals here and
Maddie had a hard is having a hard day. You're like,
oh why, But can I ask, Okay, they sound like
a great school, but why why why what do they
want you to do? I think they just wanted me
to be aware that this happened and how they handled
it right. Okay, so you know. Later, I just wrote
an email to her and I was like, I think
you handled it beautifully because Maddie came home saying he
had a great day, best day ever. Nice. So that's good.
And it's not like they're doing this like every day
they're checking in. They were just letting me know. But
you know, every time you.
Speaker 6: See your kid's school, you're like, god, oh god, right now,
exactly who's sick?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, she was sick last week? Natalia? Really yeah,
And I was like, and sometimes she does that, goes
to the office when she doesn't want to be whatever.
And I was, and the nurses on her and I
the nurse and I are on in Italian. It's like, okay,
high missus Anne. So how she feels she doesn't then
running a fever ses, this is on a g ake
and I said, okay, let us sit there for thirty minutes. Okay,
all right. So she sat here for thirty minutes. She
says she still doesn't feel good. I said, all right.
She's like, well, it's Pe, maybe she'll go play. Okay,
send her to Pe, and she goes Pete. Then she
comes back. Oh she tried. So I really think and
turns out she did have a stomach something. She had
a little stomach virus. Really, yeah, she was home two days.
Oh was she pewking? No, she had diarrhea. Okay, but
and then it went and then it went away. That
was it.
Speaker 6: It's so hard to tell with kids also, because stomach
issues can also just be anxiety or they're they're worried
about something, or they just right.
Speaker 3: I know, I know it's a psychosomatic one sometimes. Yeah,
that's the hardest one. I bet you every parent who's
listening to this has at some point been like, you're fine,
and then you get the call that your kid puked.
It happened to me with all three of my kids. Yeah,
Sonny is the one all the time when I'm like, Sonny,
you're fine, You're fine, I don't feel you're fine. Then
they call miss Angle he threw up. Yeah, my kids,
I feel so bad. Well I'm sorry, okay. But you
never know.
Speaker 6: And if we were to jump to it, every single
time our kids said they had a stomach game, they'd
never go to school.
Speaker 3: Exactly, So you never know. Yeah. I went to the
UCLA game on Saturday night with Doctor Drew and Susan
Pinski and the kids, and Sonny brought his other best friend, Matthew,
who who will just call him not Jensen, not yet, yes, exactly,
And I, okay, tell me about all right this, I
feel terrible, but this always seems to happen to me.
I don't know why. But so Sonny, I said, Sunday,
I got tickets to the UCLA game. Okay, you can
bring a friend, and he said, okay. I thought he
would say Jensen, but he's like Matthe he never gets
to see Matthew because Matthew's so busy. However, Matthew is
the babe of the school. All the girls are, including Italia,
and she could say everything she wanted. They all love
and I don't blame them. He's a good looking kid,
and he's mister Baseball, mister basket, mister All American, and
that's Sonny never sees him because he's always got a game,
he's always got practiced. So he sees Jensen. So he's like,
I really want to bring Matthew, and I said okay.
So turns out Matthew's free. Then Football Sunday happens the
next day on Sunday, which all the guys come here
at the shop and they all watch football, Adam and
cousin Sam and everybody, And was this the first official
all games happened? Yeah? I know. And Sony's in the
father son. Yeah, he's in the father son. He's in
the fairy tale one here with the guys here, and
then he's in a father son league with all the
fathers and sons at his school. Okay, And the sad
day is that he said, Uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna suck.
I'm gonna suck at the father I always suck at
the father and son one because we always do the
worst because all the kids have their dads telling them
who to pick and helping them. And I got to
do everything on my own. And last night Adam knew
that Sonny said that. And last night Adam was kissing
and hugging on Sonny and I said, Sonny, what'd you
say about the father son league? And he's like, and
Adam knew what I was getting at, and he's like,
he loves his daddy. What did you say, Sonny? I
know you want to say anything bad about your dad?
What'd you say? And he's like, I remember, it was
really funny, but so okay, So Sonny says, can can
Matthew spend the night after the UCLA game and then
all come here. I wanted him to come and watch
football with us on Sunday And then we say okay, so,
but then the mom was like, well, he's got basketball
early in the morning on Sunday and the kids right,
and then the kid's like, I don't want to go
to the basketball game. I'd rather go to the football
blah blah blah. And I said, well, you guys, can
we could? I told the mom super sweet, we could
play it by year. I'll take him with us to
the UCLA game. You could text me, think about text
me and I'll either drop him off after the game
or we'll come and get his stuff and he can
spend the night with it. But you guys think about it.
So turns out the dad he's like, I really want
him to go to the game, play his game. How
about he plays the game which is an hour away
in oc and then we can drop him off at football.
And I said, okay, that that works. Now I forgot
I didn't even look at my calendar that yeah, that
Sunday was the first day of Sunny's practice for the
Fly travel team he's on with Jensen. Okay, and hmmm,
I knew Sonny. Sonny wasn't going to go at all. Anyways,
the first NFL Sunday, like he's been looking forward to.
I mean, Sonny counts down till football season and he's
all about football. He just loves it, loves every second.
He's like sal and he just loves it. So you're
gonna have this thing every Sunday. Yeah, I mean, well,
at least the practice isn't until four thirty, Okay, so
he's here at like eleven, he can go to the
lake heat.
Speaker 7: What is that?
Speaker 3: Is that football? Flag football? Now? That's basketball Fly the
travel team he's on with Jensen. And then he's also
starting this week, although he's not going because we're going
to Boston the flag football team. So anyway, so this
is what happens to me. So then I get a
text from Jensen's mom saying, uh, is Sonny going to
the practice today at four thirty? And I said, oh,
I said, no, he's not. He's gonna go. He's watching
football with Adam. He's missing today. And then I put
and then I was like, okay, then here here's another thing,
then another friend, their third other pal. The mom texts
me Jensen's mom and Matthew's mom and says, what are
you guys doing today? My son's board? Can he hang out?
Can any of your boys come and hang out with
my son? And I'm like, oh, God, like we could
have invited him to watch football, but that's too many kids.
So then I feel bad and I'm like, so, Then
Jensen's mom replies, We're in Orange County. Then Matthew's mom
replies and says, we're an hour. We're playing basketball. He's
got a basketball game. And then I have to reply
in front of in front of Matthew's mom and son.
He's I'm sorry, Sonny's watching football with his dad. So
then there's that then, so I'm sure Matthew's mom got
it though she got it. And then then I come
to find out that Jensen I didn't put. Jensen and
Matthew are on the same basketball team, so they were together. Oh,
and I know, I have a feeling that at some
point Jensen's mom figured out that Matthew's getting found out
Matthew's getting dropped yet, but Jenson's mom couldn't do it
any yeah, but Jensen wasn't going to miss the practice. No,
but could have but no, but could have went to football.
And then I don't know, I don't know, and I
feel bad, and I was like, you know, what, what
are you gonna do?
Speaker 6: You can't feel bad these kids, you can They can't
always all be invited to anything. So you weren't doing
anything wrong. You weren't trying to exclude anyone. You just
invited one person.
Speaker 3: If every if there were a bunch of them coming
over and just not Jensen, that would be totally different,
right right, right, that's not She has to understand that,
and I think she does that. She Sonny and Matthew
never see each other, never get to see each other.
And Jensen and Matthew are on the same by the way,
they're on the same basketball days. They didn't invite Sonny
to join that team, like I didn't know about that.
That they were on their own, you know, other basketball
flyer team or whatever team. Yeah, three teams is this
kid on? I don't know which one, Sonny, Matthew, Jensen, Jensen,
he's doing flag football too, and two different basketball teams.
So it was Matthew. That's how do you how do
people go to all those things? Yeah, which which I'm grateful.
I'm glad and Sonny knows that they're on the same
team together, and Sonny doesn't care. But there was a
little thing in the back of my mind like, huh,
how come I nobody you know? But we didn't tell
Matthew about the Flyer team because Sonny and Jensen wanted
to be on the same team and not have like,
if there was two spots, Matthew's good, he could have
taken one of the spots. So they were like, let's
just keep this between the two of us, and but
just fine, whatever, whatever. But had I known, honest to god,
if I really like knew that Jensen was with them,
I would have said, but Jensen, come the other kid.
It's like, okay, now he can. But if Jensen and
Matthew are together and Matthew's coming to watch football, I
would have said, yeah, but it was too late. You
had invited one kid. They were already doing something together
the day before. I know, But I answered her kind
of cold, just because I didn't. I didn't mean it.
I went back and looked at my text. I just said, no,
he's watching football with his dad, That's all I said. Instead,
I honestly, one hundred percent don't think that you did
anything wrong or even any or even anything rude. I
don't think if I was the other mom and you
said that, and then even if I found out if
my kid was like, mom, Jensen went over, I mean,
Matthew went over and I wasn't even invited. I don't
think even as the mom, I would be like what.
It's not like it was a party or a thing.
It was just they were watching football together, right, And
you said, Senny's watching with his dad. Who cares if
there was one other kid watching with him that you'd
already been with the night before. It was just part
of the plan, right.
Speaker 6: It doesn't mean that you have to start inviting every
kid that finds out about like I really, and Jensen's
mom's your.
Speaker 3: Friend, she's my friend. She's not going to be like,
oh my god, how Darylynnette? All?
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 3: I just think about what if it was Sonny and
Sonny was left out. But it wouldn't be that Sonny
would be being left out unless all the other kids
were going, Right, If it was just one kid going
and one other kid was coming over to watch football, right,
I all to do every since, probably gonna get invited
this Sunday, so whatever, Like you know, yeah, they have
to take turns. I Elbie's tape. Did I tell you
Elbe's taking a break from basketball?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: I know, we were both kind of talking about the
fact that and you know, oh, you know who I
want to have on our podcast as a guest.
Speaker 3: You guys can respond if you think this is a
good idea. Remember I told you about the basketball coach Kiki.
He's so amazing.
Speaker 6: He started his own thing that I think I told
you called Valley Stars, and he does it. It's twice
a week, and his whole concept is really about making
basketball fun for the kids and teaching them fundamentals.
Speaker 3: And he's putting the fun and fundamentals. Uh huh.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: But I love this coach, Sadie. I don't know, Sadie
wants to do it too. They all love Kiki. Coach Kiki.
He's really good. But I just think he's an interesting
take because he doesn't have kids, but he's always been
a basketball player and always coached kids, and he sees
all kinds and all the crazy parents and all the
ways that the kids.
Speaker 6: You know how they burn out, Like, I think he
can tell us how to prevent the kids right from
burning out.
Speaker 3: He's really cool, but he does. He did tell me
because I told him LB, I'll be He's a kid
who just knows her own mind. Yeah. Like she's like,
I'm not giving up basketball. I want to take a
season off.
Speaker 6: She goes, I've been playing for years straight, every season,
and I want to start middle school and I might
want to play volleyball, which, by the way, so now
she's playing.
Speaker 3: Volleyball, she is, Yeah, that's three days a week after school.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 3: But she took all.
Speaker 6: She went to volleyball camp for two weeks, two separate weeks.
She did volleyball camp, and she really liked it. And
I think she wanted to explore like it's a girl's
volleyball thing that's at her school. And I think the
idea of starting middle school and then immediately going away
from school to do her basketball was like, I think
she wanted to assimilate into the school culture and do
things that the other kids at school are doing and
try that.
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, you do that.
Speaker 6: And then even the other day she was like, I mean,
when I do basketball again, I know I'm going to
I want to do basketball.
Speaker 3: I want to do like next season, like we see
how volleyball goes, you'll love it and want to write
do I like them doing a sport.
Speaker 6: But I was seeing myself as being a little more
driven about basketball than the actual kid was.
Speaker 3: I was becoming that parent.
Speaker 6: I was like really wanting LB to be better than
and she might naturally be right, right, because it.
Speaker 3: Was all about like, well, she's working this hard, like
why isn't she more confident yet? And you know, and
the thing is like she's really small. The other kids
and her team are so big. She's at a disadvantage
and who fuck cares if she takes a season off,
of course, but I was all like, oh my god,
she's going to lose her skills and she's going to
come back and she's not going to be as good.
And I had to check myself myself, right. No, Sonny's
tea Sonny's travel coach who sees a lot of kids
from Sonny's age all the way through high school and
gets them onto the high school varsity basketball team. Like
he's got a great reputation, he's wonderful. He his mantra
is like, if your kids want to go and do
something else, they want to go do flag football and
they want to take a break, I will always have
a spot for them. I'm not going to fill their spot.
I encourage it. They should take a break from basketball,
go do something else because if they're really into it,
they'll come back, you know. Yeah, and just just keep
me posted and just tell me and done. So yeah,
I like that. It's a good thing. Natalia, she wants
to do plays. She's been doing plays. So the next
play is lame is okay? Oh my god for kids?
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: So she tried when she was sick. We were watching it.
It's fucking boring is all get out, and then I
have to fast forward. There's like inappropriate. Yeah. Yeah. So
we didn't even make it all the way through. She
fell asleep and I was like, this is I'm trying
to watch it through her eyes and explain everything, and
I'm like this sucks, Like why why there's so many
other things out? Why do we got to do this?
Why that is a little bizarre. Yeah, And so she's
like she doesn't want to do it, but she's like
if I don't do it, then the more you do it,
the more you get advanced to a better and bigger roles.
And not a lot of kids are doing it because
it sucks, right, So she's like, I'll get I have
a chance of getting a bigger role, but I don't
want to do it. So I'm like, don't do it. Then,
just don't do it. I think I'm going to sign
her up for volleyball, bless you volleyball. She can do
volleyball too. They have it. Yeah, she keeps bringing it up,
so I may know, yeah, because she needs to do something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they do, right, But then this is this thing
that we always come back to, and it's just so
funny how our lives have evolved to the things we
talk about now. But they have all these things that
they offer the kids, right, but at the same time,
they also have to do their homework and they have
to have downtime because Elbie's going to want to do
the play that's.
Speaker 3: Going to be at her school too. Then she'll be
doing volleyball and a play.
Speaker 6: It's like they'll have something every day, yeah, because even
right now they have the volleyball is Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
so she's at school.
Speaker 3: Till five o'clock. She gets out at three fifteen.
Speaker 6: They have fifteen minutes to like relax, have a snack, change,
and then volleyball is an hour and a half and
then you know, you got to come home get.
Speaker 3: Ready for dinner.
Speaker 6: But they also have to do a amount of reading
and a certain amount of homework. And it's like, how
do they have any downtime?
Speaker 3: That's the thing, Like I know that they crave that downtime.
They need to instagram themselves and his fantasy football scores.
They need to watch Miranda Sings for two hours. I mean,
they have things to do. Yeah, Oh it's this YouTube
star and Eliza Eliza Koshy. Have you heard of that one, Caylin,
have you heard of Eliza Koshy? I have not. Oh
my god, my kids love her. Yeah, well, Caylen, we
can hear you know now we can't. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Anyway, it's like trying to find a balance for ourselves
is impossible.
Speaker 3: Now we got to worry about our kids balance insane,
it really is. But then again, when they're busy, it's
nice too. When they have something to do, they're happier.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they're engaged, and kid, don't freaking go play
with their friends any way outside. Like even if I
brought all three of my kids home and said no,
you can't do any activities, they just be in the
house watching video games.
Speaker 3: Right, playing video Natalia has to have something to sink
her teeth into otherwise she will drive everybody insane like her,
and she's all over Adam like, we're gonna build a house, right,
So if we're gonna build a house, how many square
