jobs for them to get out. She didn't I.
Speaker 3: She asked me if she should I have Olga sit
with me. No, I don't want anybody, said I want

kid thinking about my friend at ABC that had the
cardiac arrest, right because she went into get hernia. She
was a procedure getting you know, normal procedure getting hernia surgery,
and she had a fucking she was younger than me,
with little kids at home. And I'm like, so doctor
Bruce knows, because he's very thoughtful. I remembered I was
having the surgery and he calls me while I'm waiting
doing my Fortnite and he's like, all right, you're gonna
be fine. And I said, but are you sure? I'm
not gonna be like Suzanne pat Moore. I should have
sent her a name, but whatever, she's one of these
people that you say they're her full name.
Speaker 1: Well she died, yeah, And.
Speaker 3: I go, you for a friend that had a cardiac
arrest and he goes no, he goes no, because they
use different Uh, they're not going to put you as
much under.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, this is a lighter surgery. Right, No, right,
you were probably out for a half hour.
Speaker 1: You're good. Look at you, Stephanie. Did you graduate or

Speaker 2: I just called how long she was under? Motherfuckers? I thought,

Speaker 1: Me that I didn't go to med school?
Speaker 3: You should have gotten your fuckers to call.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it, and I swear to god,
I was like, you know what, no, because people are
going to be like, oh, there's such a know it all,
like you know everything about her, sir, how do you
know about her surgery?
Speaker 1: Because I've had a hater hate Stephanie. Don't listen to them.
Speaker 3: You should have just said it. You don't know you
called it thirty minutes. Yeah, she's like yo, okay, But
then she does this thing. I go, I said, I
don't want the heart. I just can I do it
without the tail and all? I mean without the opioids?
We can I just do tile and all whatever. She's like, yeah,
that's fine. She said a lot of people do it
that way. And then she said, you know, it's not
a big deal. Like a lot of people wake up
and go, oh are you done?
Speaker 1: That's it?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, and then they're right back at it, and
I go, so what, like down, people say that I'm
not the case at all, bitch.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Remember when we had our our light bow, our laser
or whatever that was. Remember they were like, oh, no downtime,
you're gonna be you could go to work the next day.
Speaker 3: Oh hell hell you are stuck wearing that thing for
two Oh it was a traumatic experience.
Speaker 2: I mean, all bruised defense final inches, but I was
crying during it and the lady was basically acting like
I was being a puss.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so the Lyda cane in yeah,
because oh and it hurts.
Speaker 2: It really hurts, And I was like, it really hurts,
and she was like a most people.
Speaker 1: Say it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, I'm I'm yeah, most people I know,
and I'm here saying it.
Speaker 1: How do you want me to do about it?
Speaker 2: Like I understand saying most people say it doesn't hurt
before it's actually hurting.
Speaker 1: But while it's hurting, why would you be like.
Speaker 2: Well most people you a baby? Yeah, I know, try
to pain share that we had that thing done. Yeah,
and then but then remember afterwards, we were all calling
each other because we were like.
Speaker 1: Fucking hurts.
Speaker 2: Like when you think I was gonna do it with
no pain meds, I know, I know you did it
with no pain I did it with no pain meds.
Speaker 1: I did it with the pain meds. Yeah, but I
was in pain. You were in pain. I was.
Speaker 2: I was taken a pain med at this. But because
I know it hurt a lot, I'm not saying I
wouldn't do it again because I'm in a heartbeat, but
I'm just saying they always try to downplay it.
Speaker 3: Right, I know, now, Yeah, you're right. I remember that.
I remember I was looking.
Speaker 1: Out because we were in the shower.
Speaker 2: Both of us were like, it's like it makes you
feel paranoid, like about how it looks.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because you're like, is this how it's going
to look? And we were all calling you.
Speaker 3: Each other, going because it's swollen for a while, yeah,
and you're like, this doesn't look good.
Speaker 1: And I don't really tell you that.
Speaker 2: They don't really give you a lot of information right anyway, Okay.
Speaker 3: So then they're like, yo should be fine, I'll be fine.
This is when we decided to do it. Then you know, okay.
So then as I'm getting wheeled into the operating room, though,
I do say, it's kind of hurt and the esthetician said,
he goes no. I liked him. He was nice, he
goes no, You'll be fine. Then okay, So then I
wake up. Guess what what it hurts?
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, like I.
Speaker 3: Could feel it when I and I hate when I
get woken up, like I was having dreams.
Speaker 1: Why do I got to get up? I mean like
it's three o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: Time to get up, like really, like it's in the daytime.
I got to get my shoes on. I gotta go downstairs,
get in the car, gotta like can it be home
in bed?
Speaker 2: Quick?
Speaker 1: Personal question? But did they make you pee first? Yes? Okay? Good?
Speaker 2: Why because when they put you under, it can like
kind of paralyze your bladder and if you don't pee,
you might not be able to pee when you get home.
They have to make sure that everything is working. That's
what she said.
Speaker 3: She's like, you got to go to the bathroom before
you leave. I get bad enough, I got to put
my shoes on. I gotta go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: So then putting shoes on well after surgery, but yeah,
just wear you.
Speaker 3: Just slipped like foot flops. I know I have my
tennis shoes.
Speaker 1: That's a bad idea. Yeah, that was dumb. Are you
supposed to think of that that?
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: I know they're just because it's She's like, it's fine,
you wake up, most people speak, and then you're not
gonna have heavy periods anymore.
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. So did she tell you if they
found a big fibroid?
Speaker 3: Now tell me anything. I would talked to her, seen her,
since she's like a ghost in the night.
Speaker 1: They called me the next day.
Speaker 2: I didn't answer, Oh to that's sleep to see how
you're feeling, right, So you.
Speaker 1: Know, I'm the thing is what was I?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: So I'm coming out of it.
Speaker 3: So they wake me up and I'm like, I got
a pee all right, well kind of hurt. But then
when I got home, like about two hours later, hour
and a half two hours later, I was rolling around
and so, I mean it was painful. I was like,
this sucks. I think I'm gonna need vicing it. But
what am I doing I'm at home now, Like, who's
gonna I guess Olga could go get it. By the
time she gets it, I don't know. I want it
right now, like help, Like this hurts.
Speaker 1: I was rolling around.
Speaker 3: I couldn't I couldn't get still. I couldn't get still.
And I was like, okay, like trying.
Speaker 1: To breathe like this. So I took the matron.
Speaker 3: I took four motrin and then Olga's like, you need
thailand all and we don't have tailand all.
Speaker 1: And she goes, I am going to get you Tayland.
I'll be right back.
Speaker 3: She ran and got me tailand and she got me
to tailan.
Speaker 1: A I called. I called. I text doctor Bruce.
Speaker 3: I go Bruce, this hurts like a bitch, and he goes,
it's because you're coming out of the anesthesia. I was like, okay,
but is it gonna go away? Like can you give
me something? Goes, you don't need anything, just take the timeline.
You'll be fine. You'll be fine, he goes, don't.
Speaker 1: Like Bruce, like a cheerleader for no pain.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, he was like, no, you'll be fine. He goes,
just it's just temporary, you'll be fine. And I was like, oh, okay, okay,
I wish they would have.
Speaker 1: Told me that. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: I got a hold of him, like as I was
like slowly feeling better, but during those two hours, I
was in a lot of pain. I was like, uh,
why isn't Bruce calling me back? Like I wanted to
talk to doctor Bruce. What should I do? And then
he called me back and then he then he told
me they didn't tell me like they should have said. Look,
since you're only taking time on motrin just from night,
hurt a little bit, but but but it'll go away
after like a two hours. It'll start to fade because
it's just the anesthesia wearing off. Why does it got
hurt extra when that stuff wears off, I don't know,
but it was it, yes, but now and then I
was like sore. Then it felt like I had really
bad cramps for like two three days. That was on
a Wednesday, and then the weekend of hell hit. So
Wednesday there's yeah, then we get a hell hit and
now here I am for staying Monday Monday morning, but
it was fine. I mean, I'm still kind of bleeding,
but I won't know until after I guess when I
get my next period.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's well, you're still bleeding from the surgery, Yes,
from the surgery.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I still have kind of cramps from the
sur still feeling like I have cramps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's because they jacked you up in there. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They sure once it heals, I'm sure they fixed it.
I mean, yeah, I don't think you're you're going to
keep bleeding. I mean they change things in there.
Speaker 3: Like they go in there and take some stuff, burn every.
Speaker 1: Technically speaking, they did something. They bought some ship up.
Yeah they yeah, technically that med schools that.
Speaker 2: We learned high up in my class. I'm not trying
to say I was like top of my class.
Speaker 1: We sucked your ship up and yeah I got a
D on my final exam. Okay, but I didn't fail.
That's what I'm saying. She's a final example of medical
school exactly. Finally a big deal. But no, it's like
they don't.
Speaker 3: It's not like going to stop the period, she said,
because you're probably still gonna get your period. But some
people it does stop, I guess, but she doesn't think
it's going to stop for me.
Speaker 1: But it's scars. It makes this.
Speaker 3: It burns everything in your They burn everything in your
lining of your uterus. They don't take any Oh, they
don't change your hormones or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Right, they just burn everything.
Speaker 3: They catterize everything, and then that should scar tissue grows
and then that show.
Speaker 2: But they didn't take out the fibrid. I don't know,
wouldn't they have. I would think that would go down
with everything.
Speaker 1: We're burning flames.
Speaker 3: I would ask her, yeah, I'm going to because she said, well,
I'm done talking about that. But the last she did
say like, look, we could do another member. I said,
she could do another ultrasound and go, okay, you have fiboid.
Now you can do either this or we could just
do it, do the surgery. Yeah, And I said, all right,
let's just do the surgery. So I don't know if
I had how much fiber.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good that was a good call.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one thing if you haven't had kids
yet and you want to have kids, then you want
to do every you want to make sure you're.
Speaker 1: Not jacking too much ship up, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Technically, yes, technically what do you call somebody who uh
is last in their class at med school? H?
Speaker 1: What? Doctor? Really? Yeah? Look at you the joke. That's
a good joke, old, tell doctor Bruce Andrew. So your weekend,
tell me all about it. Tell mama.
Speaker 3: Well listen, So remember when we had the bright idea
for Sunny to be the assistant coach and go to
every practice, at every practice, at every game. Yeah, well
it started. This weekend was their championship. They are not
the Yeah, this weekend was the tournaments. So they worked
their way up.
Speaker 1: I don't know how.
Speaker 3: Shit still does it works? I guess in their division.
If they want to get to a higher division, then
they whatever. So this guy, coach Mason, who I love,
He's got everything broken down in sixth graders, seventh graders,
eighth graders. He goes only as high as eighth grade
because then after that they go to they go to
high school. Eight. Yeah, so Sonny's in the seventh grade
division whatever. But he's on the reserve and most of
his friends are on the the you know, the he
is the Okay, the seventh graders are cutting half into
two teams, maroon and white.
Speaker 1: Sonny was the white team.
Speaker 3: Now that Sonny's the assistant coach and got to spend
twenty four hours with the coaches, went mom my, God,
the coach, Like I remember, I was saying, they were
just getting killed, killed killed. He goes, the white team
is not good at all. He goes the sixth Oh,
he has fourth graders as well. The fourth graders are good.
He goes, They're fun to watch because the ball goes
flying and they're like, ah, they all go chasing after
the ball.
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, that was you one day, and he.
Speaker 3: Goes, it was cute because Sonny's best friend, Jensen's little
brothers on the fourth grade team and the other He's
got friends. These guys that are on these teams. They
have little fourth grade little brothers that are doing the
fourth grade team. Sonny got to watch them play anyway, Wait,
so does he have to go to all no games
of every division. No. The only reason why I said
this is because so so this weekend, Natalia had a
tournament in Laguna, which is two hours away about well,
with traffic, it's an hour and fifty hour forty five
to fifty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah with traffic. Yeah, Laguna is farther than coast to Mesa.
Speaker 3: R oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where I used to have to go for doctor yeah, thief,
doctor Sharma. Yes, Laguna, it's past Newport.
Speaker 1: I knew that much. Tried to get me over. Yeah, yeah,
it's okay. But Coast to Mesa's past new two. Yeah,
I think.
Speaker 3: So when you see the jamboree and you're flying by
that I minutes, you know, you're like halfway to Mexico.
Speaker 1: Oh jesus, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Like that's it, you're you mind, we might as well
go to Tijuana, I.
Speaker 1: Know, I know, taking a dunken show.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's insane that Talia while we're here, you know,
not fun at all.
Speaker 1: Let's go get some of us. Yeahcals.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, she's got this tournament, but it's on Sunday
and it's all the way there, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Isn't there a part of you too that's like it's
not the fucking Olympics.
Speaker 1: Like, why do you have to wich? Why do we
you can't wind?
Speaker 2: I we live in Los Angeles. You can't find some
other girls around Natalia's age that play volleyball.
Speaker 3: I know, I don't know why. It's because they're in
these I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Is it clubs because the other Yeah, but there have
to be this is what I'm saying. I mean, there
have to be enough teams that are within a half
within thirty minutes. They're everywhere, don't Aren't there enough people
that play volleyball?
Speaker 3: I would think so Toxica, I know, there's y MCA's,
there's I know, I don't know. I have no idea,
but they're they're these tournaments. So they're these people though,
that come from everywhere. So I don't know, why do
we have to be enrolled my kids? Bare She's not
a play I mean, she's been playing for one year.
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. It's not the Olympic. They're
not in some elite division.
Speaker 3: I know, but it is the S So Natalia's hurt.
The I don't know what you call it. A club
is an elite club. So they do like the older
because this is the thing I live and I realize that,
and Sonny really explained it to me. Do we live
in an area that is very into sports?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: Because all these kids are going to go off to college,
they got to play some sports.
Speaker 1: They got to do their you.
Speaker 2: Know whatever I mean, or they have to or you
have to take the time, like a good parent, take
the time out of your day to pose them playing
the sport, get a good picture that looks realistic, and
then bribe your way in.
Speaker 1: I don't see. I mean, I know, I really care
about your kid's education. They don't have to play the board, right,
that's true. Actually who actually plays the sport?
Speaker 3: Well, but I have the two kids in the city
that's not going to college, and now they're caught up
in all this frenzy. You know a sports friends dolars why.
Speaker 1: You play water polo? Right, So they're on these elites.
Speaker 3: It's because Sonny's team is called the whatever elites and
hers is the elites, So they're on elite things. And
so because why the older sisters, the older brothers did it,
they did it, you know, so now the little kids
are doing it, which are them?
Speaker 1: Anyway? If you've like still follow the map.
Speaker 3: So the point is her thing was so far away.
Speaker 1: Sunny thing.
Speaker 3: So Sonny had a Saturday and a Sunday, and it's
his first weekend with coach Mason as an assistant coach.
Right now, he puts out the schedule Thursday night.
Speaker 1: This is oh, so this is so I know. Now
we're in the weeds.
Speaker 2: But everybody who listens to us, who has a kid
in sports knows the pain of the schedule coming out
on a Thursday.
Speaker 1: I know. Come on, if you remember the rules.
Speaker 2: For dating, you don't ask for a date after Wednesday,
or you're the sucker. It's just like, okay, why do
we make ourselves available?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 3: And sports is our number one concern, so we had
nothing else growing the rest.
Speaker 1: Of our lives. Tell me Thursday night, don't worry, tell
me after midnight. And by the way, it comes out
like ten o'clock Thursday.
Speaker 2: Let me wake up Friday morning and know what? What
eighteen games I have to attend this week? So and
then I have to be in Requoima at six am.
Speaker 1: Okay? Pose was his place? Was an hour?
Speaker 3: An hour and a half with traffic in the opposite
direction going down the one oh one going towards Ventre accounting.
Oh jesus, his was there on a Saturday, but not Sunday,
right yet? His was Saturday. She set Sunday only. Adam,
of course, can't be relied on for anything. And now
what the fuck was that? Oh did you do that?
Speaker 1: I kicked it?
Speaker 3: Go on, She's kicking equipment around, you know, So now
I have to figure out where who's going?
Speaker 1: Where?
Speaker 3: After I just had the surgery thing, which I'm fine,
but I'm.
Speaker 1: Just sure, what day did you have your surgery? Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Okay, now right, because I god birthday Thursday for advice
and you were like, I just had surgery.
Speaker 1: But sure, no, you could have called me.
Speaker 2: I was not doing anything, I know, but I felt bad.
You're like, yeah, I'm laying in bed. I'm like, oh,
I'm a good friend.
Speaker 1: I was asleep. Okay, well wake up because I need
to talk.
Speaker 3: I was trying to find HBO document. I found some stuff.
So so anyway, I had to figure out who was
going to take who, you know, and it's sunny, so
she's got her tournament. I have to go to her
on Sunday. I'm going with her on Sunday. I know
that Saturday I'm going with him because I know that
because it's his first day on the job as an
assistant coach. He's only got to go to the two games,
the two teams for the seventh graders. He doesn't have
to go to all. However, So Saturday morning, we got
up at it was dark five point thirty. We get
in the car. Sunday night, we hit the road.
Speaker 2: He's there now, you get that nagging feeling inside where
you're like you weren't even good enough to make the team.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Now we gotta get up, all right, I know, like
is it.
Speaker 1: Really worth it? That's like really play basketball?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like how bad do you want? I mean really, like
you're not like I know you're gonna sit there and
planmbly want to play, right, it's only like tempting, which
it was. And he did get to play, but yes
he did so yeah, so we get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't know he was even gonna get to
play until he got there.
Speaker 3: He didn't really realize what was gonna happen. We didn't,
I mean, but the coach was this is.
Speaker 2: What I asked about early on because I was like, well,
are they gonna tell him?
Speaker 1: Like they will?
Speaker 3: They would, but see, because it's the first one, everybody's available.
But eventually baseball is going to kick in. There's a
lot of kids on the baseballs. Thank god, my kids
don't play that that aren't going to be able, so
Sunny will be able to really play. So he gets there,
the coach, Mason gives him this clipboard. I wanted to
put him in a suit. He would not do it.
Speaker 1: It's like, my god, that would have been cute. Cute.
Speaker 3: I come on, Sonny's gonna put a suit on your couch.
Speaker 1: Put a suit on. He's like, I'm not wearing. So
he wore the uniform.
Speaker 3: He wore this, you know, like like he's playing his
shorts and the whatever and the number. So the coach
gives him his clipboard. He tells him what he wants
to do. But I realized that Sonny's penmanship is horrific.
Like I said, is the coach going to be able?
He can spell, but you can't tell if that's an
eight or a G, like what is what are you
writing there?
Speaker 1: Like he isn't.
Speaker 3: I said, Sonny, you know, Coach Mason's going to read
you know, your notes.
Speaker 1: You have to make sure. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: And even Coach Mason he told me, he goes, yeah.
I gave him the clipboard and his first notes were huge.
I goes, buddy, you don't got to write that big.
So I'm not blind Sonny why he just anyway?
Speaker 1: Anyway, I don't want any part of that. So he
did it. He did.
Speaker 3: He had a great he had a great time the
first day he got to play. Coach makes them put
him in like towards the end with them with both teams,
and was like, go, you know, go ahead, play because
we were killing it. They were killing it, everybody was
killing So then I thought, okay, so if they win,
they have to come back tomorrow now. So there's two teams, right,
Maroon and White. Maroon's the good team, White not so good.
Jensen's on Maroon team. So I'm thinking and then you know,
Jensen's mom and I are pals, and she's like, oh
my god, I'd be happy to take Sonny, no problem, right,
So I go, okay, so if you guys win, because
I'm going to be out in the other fuck it,
I'm going to be in Mexico tomorrow.
Speaker 1: So you take saying.
Speaker 3: She goes, oh, if they win today, their game is
it until five pm? I'll see if you guys can follow.
She's like, it's not until five pm on set tomorrow,
and I go, oh, okay, but still even if I'm back.
Speaker 1: Early, You're like, I'm going to be in Mexico. Yeah,
you do take them. I don't care, just take them.
Speaker 3: Okay, So they win, he's got to go back tomorrow.
White team loses. White team loses I'm thinking that you
don't need to go back. No, and son, he's like, no, Mom,
I'm pretty sure White team's playing too. I go no,
I'm trying to be positive there now.
Speaker 1: They didn't know. They don't have to play.
Speaker 3: They lost, they're losers, aren't going home. They don't have
to come back again. No, I'm pretty sure the fuck
the schedule comes out, White team plays tomorrow eight am,
back here at eight am. If they win that, then
they have another one at ninth whatever. Then they have
another one at twelve thirty if they will. So okay,
now I'm going I got to take her to Mexico, and.
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta take him no more.
Speaker 3: No march is be a loser, soney, Please don't like,
don't be so ambitious.
Speaker 1: Reserves Yes, as they need to now.
Speaker 3: So the next morning, he's got to be there at
eight I got to be in Mexico. I text a
friend of his, I said, And then the friends like, sure,
no problem, a friend that's on the White team. But
he's got to be there at eight at eight am.
But they have to be there at eight am. And
they said that they would come swing by it six
thirty to pick Sonny up, I'm leaving at five thirty.
No Adams saw on logs, and it's up to him,
Sonny to get his act up, dressed and eat something
and get sit by the back door and wait for
them to come pick him up.
Speaker 1: And he's got to do all that, take the key
to the house, do everything.
Speaker 3: And I'm going, okay, he's twelve, by the way, he
should be able to do this show.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So I said, Toddy, you want to go tomorrow. They're
going to pick you up at twelve. By the way,
I still spread cream. She's on a bagel, right, noll.
Speaker 1: I do too? Of course I do, right.
Speaker 2: I worry that he's I'd be feeling the same way. Yeah,
that even if it was lbit, if you had to
leave them up to their own device, like five thirty
six or six.
Speaker 1: Okay, he's getting picked up at six thirty.
Speaker 3: He say, if you want to go, you got to
be ready six thirty. Get your act together. He goes, Okay,

my alarm, my alarm, I get up. I go downstairs.
Natalia's up and ready in the kitchen, ready to go,
and Sonny is in his room, lights on, got his
headphones on, listening to his music, getting dressed, and I go,
why are you okay? First of all, wait, thank you Natalia,
But Sonny, how are you up so early?
Speaker 1: He goes, I'm ready.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 1: By the way, he was up.
Speaker 3: We were up at the day before at six o'clock
in the morning, headed out there, and then he goes,
he's excited, he wants to go, and I'm like, okay,
I said, but you know, don't forget. And this is
why I say, everybody follow along. So you're going to
see the White team at eight am. Don't forget. Maroon
is playing again at five o'clock in the evening, so
you have to go back again at five o'clock in
the evening. So you're gonna go. You're gonna go with
the Maru. The White team is gonna come back. And
then later on in the day, Jens's mom's gonna pick
you up and you're gonna go with them in the evening.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a horrible lifeline.
Speaker 2: My god, And what else is he He's not gonna
be able to do anything else with his wife.
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to do anything else with his life.
That's all he wants to do. Now you're gonna hear
how crazy this kid is. So he got up, he
went with the white team. Okay, now here's where the mom.
Now every mom in America is gonna understand this angst. Yesterday,
I'm at the I'm at the tournament in Mexico with Natalia.
Speaker 1: Right Juarez, did you mule any drugs while you were there?
I mean while you're there? They got an italic I
want to do it? She said yes that No.
Speaker 2: She's like, oh, tell you put this in your vagin
ask questions later.
Speaker 1: She's like, mom, I've never even used a tampon. Listen,
I don't want to hear about it. Okay, put this
in your vagina right.
Speaker 2: Now, Mommy, can't I just have surgery.
Speaker 1: Next time? We got my can?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I know it's a night right, do you want your
allowance to sleep?
Speaker 2: Then you'll put this in your vagina?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: So, so I'm in Mexico right now it's twelve thirty.
I'm thinking White team probably lost her on their way back.
How many parenting shows, by the way, talks about talk
about muling drugs in your daughter's vagina? Probably none? I know?
Speaker 1: Why should we should get an award?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 1: And the working podcasts hashtag blast? Sorry go on?
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're on your way to No, I'm in
your accent.
Speaker 3: In Mexico, it's like twelve okay, by the way, And
also we've been there for three hours. In Italian has
not played a game yet. Oh, she's got to set
out the first two games.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm
sitting there going yay for everybody else, like, why not
not even five minutes now?
Speaker 3: She played later? Any other games? The later games? Not what?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Everybody has to be there on the court ready to
rock at seven am and at seven am, but the
games don't start until eight am.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad at your life right now.
Speaker 2: It's Ridiculoushy can't you get there a half hour before
like normal type A people do.
Speaker 1: Can't. No, the coach won't stand for that. No, Oh
my god. Sitting there, it's twelve thirty.
Speaker 3: I'm going, huh. I wonder if Sonny's home. I wonder
if he got back. I'm sure he did. I text
the mom that took him, Hey had to go, and
she's like, we lost, but you know, so okay, And
now I'm thinking good, and yeah he's not. He's going
to be home early, probably be home by ten am,
I don't know, and Adam will just be waking up
and he can hang out at him.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Then he's got to go back. This is Sunday too, okay.
So she's like, oh, uh, yeah, we lost. He goes,
she said, but he's with Noah. Uh. And Noah is
a kid that's on the Maroon team who Sonny's pals
with and lives close to us, and his parents don't
speak that good of English.
Speaker 1: He's Korean.
Speaker 3: But but I thought, okay, that's Korean kids.
Speaker 1: Are these Asian basketball players are fast?
Speaker 3: I would have think so, My god, he's huge.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Why don't I just say you wouldn't
think so. I don't know, because you would think they're
i know, like very studious and not as forty. That
is such a huge stereotype. But holy cow, they're great.
Asian kids are insane basketball player single team.
Speaker 1: My kids have played on.
Speaker 3: The Asian I know they're very disciplined. And he this
kid is taller than me too. Hey, I love this kid.
He's he's a sweetie. He's one in the Italian's pals too.
So anyway, he's with Noah. Okay, Noah's got a little
brother that's on the fourth grade team. Because I was thinking,
why is Noah there so early? Because they don't have
their team doesn't play. He's on the maroon team because
he's a star player. They don't play until five o'clock,
So why is he there so early? Oh, he's got
the fourth grade little brother. Oh, but then I don't
know what their schedule. I don't know what the fourth
grade any Okay, so then I can't I'm calling. Sonny
doesn't answer calling, Sunny doesn't answer calling. Sonny doesn't answer
calling Adam, he doesn't answer, no answer, nobody answers her
f and phone. Finally, in the middle of everything, I
go to Italian. Go in Italia. Can you text Noah
and see what's going on? This is twelve thirty Now
she texts Noah. She gets text back. Uh, Hey, yeah,
I'm home. No, Sonny didn't come home with me.
Speaker 1: Stay.
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, he's stayed with Woo because now there's.
Speaker 1: Nothing for not just making sure for a fellow mom.
Speaker 2: The kids with somebody that they know where they left
the kid.
Speaker 3: Again, I don't think that would have happened if his
parents spoke English.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: And also, Sonny is a little finago. He probably said
on fire that brought him there. She told me that
he was with Noah, but it wasn't with Noah. But
he wasn't because Noah left, and I know Sonny and
I decided, what I know what happens. Sonny said, I'm fine,
I'm gonna stay here. And know his parents were like,
are you sure? Call your mom and he was like, oh,
I'm fine, okay, bye, he leaves, they leave, He stays
with who though, Well, I'm thinking he's with the coaches
now because Coach Mason's got to be there all day
because he's got fourth grade or fifth he's there all day.
Speaker 1: Is he going to feed him?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm thinking. I'm so he's gonna hang
out with coach Mason. The other two there's three of
them he's gonna hang out the coaches all day and
then and these guys are like in their twenties, their dudes,
they're like, they're like, Kaylin over here, like they remember
I gave him twenty bucks. He can go get something
to eat. They got food there, so okay, But still
I don't know where he is.
Speaker 1: He's not answering.
Speaker 3: How do I know he's with with the coaching right,
So it it's a huge place. So I'm calling in
and I'm calling him. He's not answering. Now, Now I
get on the group app, the WhatsApp that the coach
sends out everything on ten ten o'clock, I find my friends. Yes, yes,
I don't have that hymn on there because I never
really had a problem with him, but yes I should.
Speaker 1: I'd just like to know where people are, Oh find
my friend. Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 2: Apple when it's in your family. I have, like I
can just look on I can look at friends and
see what where the location is of the phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to say he's at the location of
the venue.
Speaker 1: But I don't can't get hold of it. Got it?
So so I send a mass text.
Speaker 3: Now Natali's about to play and Now she's kind of
worried because she's like, well, why is he you know, like,
call so and so I'm like, all right, She's like,
call the coach. So I send him mask and I said,
we're on all the parents.
Speaker 1: On a group text. I sent a group text to everybody.
Speaker 3: But then I'm like, I don't want the parents that
left him there to feel bad because it was a
mom and a dad.
Speaker 1: They all went.
Speaker 3: The whole family went yeah, no, why don't you just
text the coach because he's busy and he's young and
I don't know. So he's on the group text too.
I text everybody anybody seeing Sonny? Anybody know where he is.
The coach replies back immediately and says immediately and says,
he's here hanging out with us. Turns out he was
there all day.
Speaker 1: He didn't leave.
Speaker 3: He didn't get home until he left at five in
the morning, at six o'clock in the morning, in the dark,
he didn't get home until nine thirty pm at night.
Because thank god, the Maroon team won at five o'clock,
but they played again because they won, they played again
at seven o'clock. They won the championship and Caylin will
do an ad right now, but put up the picture
while we do the ad, and I'll show you the picture.
It was the best day of Sunny's life. He hung
out with the coaches all day. The coaches loved him,
and the coach gave Sonny. See, the coach gets the
big So Sonny got the trophy because the Maroon team won,
even though he didn't really do anything. That's the participation trophy.
But then the coach gets a trophy and the coach
did a speech at the end. He goes, this, coach,
this trophy's going to a kid that's got the heart.
He hustles and he bustles and he's dedicated and he
proves that something about being positive pays off.
Speaker 1: I'm giving this to Sonny.
Speaker 3: And Sonny was like, oh my god, best best day
of my life.
Speaker 1: And it turned out it was so.
Speaker 2: Did he take notes on all the games all day
long on the seventh and eighth And did he play
for the maroun team.
Speaker 3: He played with the eighth graders, He played with the
maroon team, He played with everybody was good. He helped
coach the fourth graders. It was great, awesome.
Speaker 2: So you so you felt busy, so Natalia finally got
to play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she did play, but she played at the end.
That's the day. Yeah, and she's okay with that, No.
Speaker 3: She but she's but she keeps going. She's determined. And
she doesn't know anybody on that team. I have to
hand it to her because she doesn't have any friends
on that team, but she doesn't care. She goes twice
a week, not just to her, she goes to practice
twice a week, but then she goes again and does
a private lesson and works out like in the gym,
like they work you. They call it conditioning. They work
you out in the gym with the weights and the stuff,
and they teach you how to stretch the right way
so you don't hurt yourself. It's really a good program.
She loves it and she's very competitive and she's really
into it and she's good at it.
Speaker 1: She's just new at it.
Speaker 3: And the coaches they all want to win. They all
want to get to that next level. In order to
get to the next bracket, they have to win these tournaments.
So that's why my kids don't play, because they want
to get to the next level.
Speaker 1: Right. But she's good, she'll she'll get there. She's she
did great yesterday.
Speaker 3: But I just realized, like after two hours, I'm sitting
here like a chump, like yay, like applauding for these
other kids.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sitting like parents in Mexico. You're
I don't know where I am.
Speaker 3: You're like, hey, what's Saint Patrick's day?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I can't go home and can't go sit in my
car because Natalia doesn't know anybody.
Speaker 1: So every time she takes a break, where are you? Well,
can you come inside? Come sit with me?
Speaker 2: And you don't know any of the other parents. No,
it's not like you can really hang out.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I mean there might be better.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is kind of better. But but but.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but the whole like you know, and I
know people that listen to our show get annoyed with
my lack of enthusiasm for sports. But no matter where
you are, no matter what level, people take it so seriously.
You could be on like just a wreck team and
they're so freaking serious that the WREC team like that.
When Elbe plays, the coaches get into fights about like
because it's so political, because who because they all know
which kids are playing also for club and which kids
are coming in and the All Star season, and like, well,
I'm going to make sure I get this kid, and
you know it's all crazy, yeah, and they don't want
this kid because this kid sucks.
Speaker 1: And you're like, yeah, but it's freaking wreck. Of course,
there's going.
Speaker 2: To be some kids that aren't good who cares, Like,
why are you so serious about it?
Speaker 3: You know what's funny is I was sitting at one
of the games over the weekend, was at Sonny's games,
and one of Sonny's very good friends tried out for
the volleyball the boy They just did a boy's volleyball
and Natalia got to help try out the boys and
she was like, Mom, this kid's really good. He's gonna
make it. He's gonna make it. And it's one of
Sonny's good friends.
Speaker 1: And I told her that, like, did you hear him?
Speaker 3: Did Natalia? What did Natalia say? I said, Natalia said,
he did really good. He didn't make it the team, Okay,
he was really excited. I didn't get his hopes up though,
because she didn't say anything right right. He was really
he really wanted to get on that team. So then
I'm sitting with her on Saturday in the many hours
of whatever.
Speaker 1: And then she's like, yeah, you know he's really he's
like literally bummed that he didn't get the team.
Speaker 3: Like this kid made it on the basketball team, the
football team, and what I don't know, baseball, the baseball team,
and now he didn't make it on the volleyball team. Okay,
but all his friends did. And she knows who she's
talking to. I'm like, uh, hello, and she's like, oh,
you know, I know, Like now I know how you feel.
Like he was like going to be like so dejected
and so like his spirits were crushed. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's what happens. Maybe he wants to be an assistant
for the volleyball coach. I did tell her that, but
it's like, yeah, I get it. And then now she's like, well,
you know, I might go talk to the athletic.
Speaker 1: Director because they should.
Speaker 3: They had all these forty kids try out. Why don't
they just cut it in half and do two teams?
Like you say, why don't they make two teams? You know?
And I said, yeah, if you go, I'll go with you.
If you go talk to the athletic director, sure, I'll
go talk I'll go talk to them now, you know.
I see that's the thing, Like, don't these don't just
that at least at their school. Don't they want more
than just the same seven kids all the time. We're
gonna have tryouts for the football, well the same seven kids,
make it. Now, we're gonna have try out with the
same seven kids. Don't they want to, like for volleyball,
like want to go, Hey, why don't we give some
other kids a try here?
Speaker 1: Like let's yeah.
Speaker 2: According to some of our listeners though, like hell no,
if it's the best, kids should be able to play competitively.
Speaker 1: But I agree with you. It's like okay, but.
Speaker 3: Let them go be on a club team, right, go,
Like this is school, right, that's not saying like why.
Speaker 2: At school are you so caught up in like my
kid has to be only playing with other elite players,
Like it's.
Speaker 1: Not in middles, Like that's all I'm saying, is like.
Speaker 2: Why can't they learn? Why can't they get better? And
that be a part of Like that's something that they
should be learning as well as in school. It shouldn't
be so competitive that most kids are shut out. Most
kids that are not like amazing and going to try
to play in college, right, you know, since these kids
are not actually going to play in college anyway. Because
speaking of that, with the scandal, this scandal, this college
stable came out after our last recording, right right, I mean, okay,
I have to tell you that what's all the emotions
about that scandal? Should we say that for Friday and
really talk it out on Friday?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I wanted to talk about it.
Speaker 3: And look, I had to go and air my grievances
about all weekend about being in Mexico and inventor a
county at the same time.
Speaker 2: It's it's really hard, especially when we're we don't have husbands.
Speaker 3: Right hey, Hey, and after Adds scraped, it's you got
to sit there on the stadium seats.
Speaker 1: They're not comfortable.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of fun. I have some fun
fun talk for a for Friday. For Friday as well, Yeah,
because we I had a good time with Sadie. I
bonded with Sadie. Took Sadie to the mall just by ourselves,
the two of us and Olivia. I got to know
her a little bit. Yeah, you know the kid when
you when you get to hang with the kid that
you don't always hang with.
Speaker 1: And I was like, she's pretty fun.
Speaker 3: It's nice. I know, yeah, she was.
Speaker 2: Really she was making me laugh. She was, uh she
she's slow to warm that Sadie.
Speaker 1: Right, you got to work at it.
Speaker 2: You gotta work at it, and you got to like
put in the time. And because she's not like Elbe
is like all talkative. Elbi is like rare to go.
As I know, I constantly talk about her and she's
but she's just fun, your favorite, just kidding what. Sadie
made a comeback. She's a comeback kid. No, Because I
was like, okay, So Sadie really wanted some Doc Martin boots.
Oh and so you know, I got LB some for Christmas.
And I was a little bit concerned that Albie got
them for a big gift, right, and that Sadie was
just going to get them. So I made Sadie save
a prollowance. I told her I would split them with her.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: So she had to save, so she gets ten dollars
a week, so she saved for six weeks. Nice because
I thought they were going to be like one hundred
bucks or something. So anyway, I told her she kept
asking like, so next week, can we go all have
saved up the money?
Speaker 1: Anyway, long story, sure.
Speaker 3: Our kids have to bond with us by going to
them all. By the way, can they bond with us
while we're sitting on the couch.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what though, this was my idea because
I said, let's go get your doc Martin's. And usually
if we're with Elbe, since LB's so outgoing and talkative,
I feel like Sadie does isn't doing it? I know,
it doesn't get as much. It's not bonding with Sadie
if Elbie's there, right, So, and it's not that Elbe
steals focus. It's just that she's talking, out going and whatever,
closer to my age.
Speaker 1: So I was like, let me just take Sadie. So
he said, Sadie, here's what I was going to do.
Speaker 2: I just wanted her to try them on to figure
out what size she is so that I could either
order them online or anyway. So that was the thing.
So Sadie was like, Okay, we'll go to the mall.
And so we went to the mall and we went
to the store and she tried them on and she
wanted the same ones that Elbie got for Christmas. And
it was really sweet because she's like, well, they only
had the ones that she wanted, the patent leather ones,
but they only had the mat right kind. And she
was like, well the MAT's you know, I could I
could get those. Well, I was like, but what do
you want more? She's like, well, I just think Elby's
going to be upset if I get the same exact
ones she has. Well, you know what, you guys don't
go to the same school, right, It doesn't matter who cares.
I'll talk to her. I don't want that to be
a concern. Yeahs Like, I just don't want her to
feel like I'm just copying her. And I was like, okay,
which ones though, if in your heart of hearts would
you rather have? Because if we ordered the patent leather ones,
they were going to be there in like two days, right,
And she's like, I guess I said, you want the
ones that Elbie has, don't you.
Speaker 1: Well they're a little more spectacular that she.
Speaker 2: Said, yeah she did, And I said, then get that's
the ones you're getting. So done, we're getting those. And
it was really sweet because later we kind of broke
the news to Elbie and.
Speaker 1: She was like, that's great, Elbie.
Speaker 2: Those are I mean, Sadie, she was like, those are
going to look so cute on you.
Speaker 1: She couldn't have been like sweeter about it. And she
was like, I don't care, right, So I just it
was fun hung out with Sadie.
Speaker 2: And then she's so for her culmination for graduation from
elementary school, which I know this came up last time
our kids graduated from elementary school.
Speaker 1: Fucking stupid is graduating from elementary school? Why do we
get it?
Speaker 2: Why we don't do anything to graduate time past?
Speaker 1: That's all that happened. Congratulations on tying out three things taller.
What the hell? Why do they make such a big
deal about it?
Speaker 2: Now I got to do another. There's another one for
freaking middle school. Another one that nobody cared about.
Speaker 1: When I was growing up. I know what.
Speaker 2: Sadie asked me, did you do? What did you do
for your culmination? I'm like nothing? Why I got a flower? Yeah,
my dad brought me a rose. Oh my god, that's
way more than I got. Nothing happened because I told him.
All my friends get flowers.
Speaker 1: I know what? How about with LB?
Speaker 3: Everybody everybody nowadays got a phone that's a phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah god. So I was like, oh okay.
Speaker 2: So Sadie said, when Elbie graduated fifth grade, she was
still a little bit little girly in her she wanted
We went to Macy's and picked out like a dress
that had a lot of glitter happening. It was very shiny.
I don't know what was happening the sequence. Something was
a lot was going on with that dress.
Speaker 1: It was really cute. But Sadie would not.
Speaker 2: Be caught dead in anything that looks like it could
possibly be from Justice, like no bling, no, none. So
she's like, I want to wear like a jumpsuit, and
I was like, she's so badass with her shaved head
on one side and that bright red hair, and she
wanted to wear a jumpsuit.
Speaker 1: So but it's she's at.
Speaker 2: A weird age because she's eleven, but she kind of
feels too old to shop at And I went through
this with Elbe. She doesn't want to shop at Children's
Place or Justice in those stores, and there's Macy's, but
Macy's is a little conservative for she wants to dress
a little funk cute, but boutiques are not going to
have her size. So we went looking around and I
was like, you know what, we can get something that's
for adults and we'll.
Speaker 1: Just take it in. We'll just you know.
Speaker 2: But we actually found a really cute little jump jumpsuit
at Express, so in a size double zero.
Speaker 1: And we just have to hem it. That's it. I
fit her. Really, is it a jumpsuit? Like it zippers
up in the front.
Speaker 2: No, it zips in the back, and then it's like
it's actually strapless but it holds to her.
Speaker 1: She's like those discoy kind of kind.
Speaker 2: Of yes, but it's just black. Yes, like a pants suit,
like the pants but it goes all the way to
the top to the chest and it's black and it's
sort of like a strapless It's very cool looking, very classy.
Speaker 1: And she'll wear like a little shawl over her shoulders
and she with her Doc Martins. She wants to wear
her Doc Martins. I'm like, oh, go for it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's so cute, very cute. She's just
got a whole little style going.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I started to as I was shopping with her,
I was like, I totally see a lot of differences.
She's got her own sense of style. Like I can
look at something and be like, oh, that's kind of Sadie, right,
or that's not Satie at all.
Speaker 1: Right. She doesn't want flowers, she doesn't like floral.
Speaker 2: She likes cool stuff, yeah, funky. Elbie likes kind of
more flowery, more traditional. I told you about last time
when we were in the mall roore and she told
me Tilly's was too edgy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was her skaters.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's LB. She's like, sorry, mom, I'm basic. Sadie's
not basic.
Speaker 3: No, no, And I can see that. Really that great show.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Galen. You're a parent now, don't f it up.
