Speaker 1: We can get away?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Nice?
Speaker 2: How exciting?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I got to move into my condo this week
this week yep, oh my gosh, yeah.
Speaker 1: You know. And I don't even have a refrigerator.
Speaker 5: I don't have refrigerator, don't have a microwave, basically no
care yet.
Speaker 1: But do have a bedroom and direct TV.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good.
Speaker 5: Well, not direct TV just yet because I got the
TV's hung, but the spectrum. Uh, they don't make house
calls now, they don't set it up because of COVID.
So they send you a kit with directions on how
to do it yourself.
Speaker 1: For the Wi Fi.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Kind of bullshit noises that?
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's what they tried to do with us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and John, we were like, oh hell no, yeah,
somebody to do it.
Speaker 1: And really we're like okay, okay, then fuck that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, But then I think to myself, like Dylan was,
like I can come help you. I can do it,
you know, like I don't know, We'll see. I have
a guy, the TV guy, the guy that hung the
TV could probably do the WiFi for.
Speaker 1: Me, but I don't know.
Speaker 5: He's a busy guy and you know, probably have to
give him some cash.
Speaker 1: I don't do it. Do I want to fight that
battle or what?
Speaker 5: I don't know, but I'm excited to be uh yeah,
living in my new place.
Speaker 1: I can't wait.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm in a similar You and I are always
going through a similar thing because so our addition.
Speaker 2: Still going on.
Speaker 3: It's always something right like so we're not in yet
because our inspection inspection, the final inspection is supposed to
have happened two days ago, so since we're recording on
Monday Wednesdays, but we've already heard that before we've had
a final inspection and then they canceled. That has to happen,
and then there's then there's another day of work where
they have to because there's a door there, but we
don't need a door because it looks like it's an apartment.
But to have an ADU, you have to have a door.
So the day after the final inspection, they're going to
replace the door with wall and make a window.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, okay, but we so we don't have a.
Speaker 3: Bed yet in there, right, But I'm so scared to
order the bed because I mean, I could have the
bed delivered, but I don't want a bed sitting in
there when they're like demolishing a door because the dust
is going to freaking fly everywhere. I'll never get it out,
I agree, even if we cover it with plastics.
Speaker 1: I just ordered it. Well, I didn't just order the bed.
Speaker 5: I ordered it two months ago and it took four
on Wayfair. It took forever to come, and.
Speaker 3: It got delivered yesterday on a Sunday, Like what the fuck?
Speaker 5: Nobody's there. I'm not there, and they put it at
the front door. It's in a box. So you could
get the bed delivered and just have it in the
box and then you know, put it together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I want to order one from living spaces
and pay a hundred bucks for them to.
Speaker 2: Living space. I can't, I know, I can't.
Speaker 3: Put the idea of putting stuff together seems very marriage
ending to me.
Speaker 5: Well, that's why the eyes are still there in the kitchen,
and I don't have them do it right that are
still working.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll put it together. So and then I had it.
Speaker 5: But anyway, but by the way, if anybody's looking for rugs,
go to Eat Sale Rugs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love rug oh really.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it. Kate Morango told me about it.
Oh yeah, and uh, you have.
Speaker 3: A million rugs, million whatever you want. You want a
green rug, you have a color block you want.
Speaker 2: And by the way, it.
Speaker 5: Came like that, you know, I ordered it last week,
came like a few days done.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm back.
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it yet. It got delivered. It's rolled
up still I can't, you know, I still have to
get the house cleaned and show we can.
Speaker 2: We bad mouth an old sponsor.
Speaker 3: Like from years ago, remember ruggable, ruggable, Oh my god, it.
Speaker 2: Was the worst rug. We all get a sample rug
and it was oh that's right.
Speaker 1: It was like, I still have it.
Speaker 2: You do like yours?
Speaker 1: Well Phil threw up on it a couple of times,
but it.
Speaker 3: Was so the whole idea of it was that they
give you a mat so it doesn't like yes slide yeah,
but oh no, no, no, the whole idea of it was
that you can wash it. But the reason you could
wash it was this was like a towel. It was
so thin and kind of scratchy and not a good towel,
not like Brooklynen towel, but like it was like a
it was the thinnest. Yeah. It kind of still scared
me about ordering rugs online because I was like, I want.
Speaker 1: To get it. I know you want to get it.
Speaker 2: And it's like the sail run, it's a piece of
burl up.
Speaker 5: Yes, they'll show you like up close, They'll show you
like a million different angles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah stuff.
Speaker 5: And then the other thing I love is like you
could put up a picture of your room and then
you can see what it looks like in there.
Speaker 1: And I did that a bunch of times. Yeah, I
love it. I love it.
Speaker 5: I got a nice, beautiful My condo is going to
be so pretty. This is all meat.
Speaker 1: None of those blue shit.
Speaker 5: A color blind and nobody colorblind. I'm gonna be decorating.
It's all me pinks and champagne color. And uh, my.
Speaker 1: Bedroom is like navy blue with gold.
Speaker 5: The vanity in the bathroom is I got a navy
blue vanity with a gold whatever anyway. Yeah, and really
it's been going pretty smoothly so far, so good. So
I don't know, we're just you know, the materials are
taking forever. But other than that, and myfrigerator I ordered,
like that is the first thing I ordered. Still not coming,
still like not coming till the end of this month.
Speaker 2: The fuck that's crazy.
Speaker 5: You know, I might have to just at some point
go to home depot and switch it out and get
something that's I can just get right away. I know
it was going to take forever. Yeah, so but oh
am I kidding? I door dash like I need a
fridge right away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1: No I need I So yes, I'm getting everything set up.
Speaker 5: I gotta go on a target run because I have
no bathrooms, no nothing, no dishes, no anything, So I
gotta get all that.
Speaker 2: That is exciting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's exciting.
Speaker 5: I'm I wish I had I wish it was ten
years ago, or I had more energy. I used to
love going shopping and stuff. Oh shot, it's too exhausting.
Speaker 3: I know, like John and I might be moving into
our room, like like I said, any day now, and
I'm still.
Speaker 1: Like we should go furniture shopping.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm like, well, there's this dresser that John's
had forever since I met him, which was over twenty
years ago. It's this big, green, old dresser that he
had shipped out from East back east.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like.
Speaker 3: A freaking child, childhood dresser. Maybe, I don't know, it's ridiculous.
I'm sure he would get rid of it. But we're
both so lazy.
Speaker 2: We're both like, right, I know you're gonna go fine
to pick out a new dresser.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it seems like a pain. I know,
I know, you.
Speaker 6: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: We're like and we have no oneation even with our
room where like I guess we'll just put stuff where
it was in our old room, right, because like yeah,
they put the TV there.
Speaker 2: It's like it's gonna look the same, but just another room, right,
I don't even care.
Speaker 1: I know, I know.
Speaker 5: The thing it's like furniture shopping, the thing that I'm having.
Probably it's just so many choices sometimes, like like with
the rugs I go online, is a million rugs, Like
I don't know, just pick me, just pick something for me.
Oh guy, here, what color do you think I should
have in that room, like it's just it's too many choices.
And then they're like with the furniture, like what if
I order it and it's one thing about me. I
don't measure. I just wing it. Times I've ordered something
and it's just like bonk. It hits the door and
it's like, what the you got? Did you measure it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: It looked the same size online. It looked about right,
like what you didn't measure?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 5: You know, and now I gotta get Oh, I gotta
get curtains put up, Like, oh my god, there's that
and that same.
Speaker 3: Life, I was walking by our audition well because you
have to walk by it on the way into the house,
and I was like, it's those windows there, right, like
we haven't thought about it's just windows into our room.
Speaker 2: I'm like, are we going to have shades?
Speaker 3: Because that's right, it can't just unless we got blackout curtains, right,
like right, we got to get some kind of shade
lines below our baby lines. I know, but I was
thought about that. Yeah, Okay, isn't that just funny?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I'm like we're gonna we gotta get blind yeah,
I know. The third but the third window, the one
that the door is going to be out and then
there's gonna be a window.
Speaker 2: I don't even I don't know the measurements yet. I
don't have to ask the guy.
Speaker 5: Right, it's usually pretty standard, I think, But still I
don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just saying we could order all that stuff,
but knowing me one thing to know about me. On
very last minute, I'm like, well, I can't really picture
it until tonight, until we're living in there. Me too,
I mean, I did measure for how big a bed
we should get, and we agreed on the king sized bed.
Speaker 1: But now it's like, did you get California King or regular?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Regular King?
Speaker 3: Remember this conversation was okay, So the only benefit of
the California King is that it's a little longer, which
in my mind I was like, oh, that's where Penelope
will sleep.
Speaker 2: But it's like a few inches longer.
Speaker 1: It's not like, right, it's not like three feet longer where.
Speaker 2: You know there's room for another person to live at
the end of your bed.
Speaker 3: It's like a few inches longer for tall people, right,
I mean, there's no point I'd rather have more width.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that Penelope can like scooch up between us
or I don't.
Speaker 1: Right right, one thing.
Speaker 3: I'm really happy about no fill hair in that place,
Thank god.
Speaker 1: I can bet. I can buy white sheets, I can
get white rugs. I can no fill hair. Mm hmm yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Phil's nice.
Speaker 3: Phil doesn't have to move back and forth now fill
or Phil?
Speaker 1: Phil is just a pain in the ass.
Speaker 5: He threw up like uh, he throws up soy sauce
packets that haven't been punctured.
Speaker 1: They're still good if you wanted to use them. I'm like,
what the what?
Speaker 5: Because Natalia sits, he'll eat and eats, but she doesn't
clean up the condiments, you know, she just leaves it
and he gets up there and he swallows it and
then he throws it up there you go. I know
that's so odd to me to like want to eat
a packet of without even chewing it up. He swallows everything. Yeah,
Oh my gosh, socks underwear.
Speaker 2: What was I going to ask you.
Speaker 3: About Natalia having to do with our Patreon reminded me
of just that.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you what was happening? Oh,
how's her boyfriend?
Speaker 5: Her boyfriend is good, the he has been she saw
him on Saturday. I think they're kind of off.
Speaker 3: Uh Oh, I think, but I'm not sure because she
doesn't tell me anything.
Speaker 5: But I asked her, I said, how's what's his name?
And she said, he's good. I just saw him at
the party she went to.
Speaker 1: They hung out.
Speaker 5: He actually him his best friend is this kid that
drives all the time and he's a good kid. Drove them,
he drove her home with him, and he like walked
her up to the door and hugged her goodbye and everything.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a really.
Speaker 5: Good kid, but he was on he was grounded for
a while and he had finals, so she's like, he's
not going to really be free to hang out until
like the first week of February.
Speaker 1: Then he's not grounded anymore. I guess something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did he do? Did she tell you?
Speaker 5: I think it's great. I don't know, No, I don't like,
I don't know. I think is they're just his parents
are so tough on him with his grades. So yeah,
but yeah, she's they're I guess, are on and off
kind of thing. But yeah, I mean, Patreons, we're talking
to like teenage you know, teenagers, especially teenage girls and
just teenagers at this point in time in life, like
you know, starting to drive, starting one experiment, and yeah,
I'm trying to regulate that shit.
Speaker 2: To not regulate that shit, right, My twins you may
also know as Sadie and Xander.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: Well, as you know, Sadie's been doing a lot better
since she's been on lex Pro. I think I told
you that for a few months now, and it's going
really well better. It's not like a total shift. I
hate school, right, and my kids. It's this weird thing
because when I was growing up, I was nine years
older than my sister, and it used to bug the
shit out of me that my sister didn't like to
go to school. So my mom always let my mom
let her stay home a lot. And I remember being
so mad because my mom was very strict with me, like,
unless you had a fever, you're not staying here, right.
But then I also felt like my mom didn't really
like me that much, so you know what I mean,
she just had not a lot of compassion. And I
had a lot of really bad headaches back then, and
you know, bad migraines. I got migraines until they were
treated with medication, but she would never.
Speaker 2: Let me stay home.
Speaker 3: But then my sister, like I said, much younger than me,
so maybe by that time my mom didn't was like
whatever would let her stay home a lot? When I
was like, there's nothing wrong with her, She's fine, you know,
And I find myself allowing saft, like it's just hard
because I know how miserable she is, I know how
much she doesn't like to go to school, but she
also gets her work done.
Speaker 5: And then I'm thing, I know, so our school, I'm
glad you brought. Our school was doing like online lessons
so if they had close call whatever, they'd rather the
students stay home. So they did this online thing, not
with the teacher in the class, with substitute teachers.
Speaker 1: And Sonny got a little taste of it.
Speaker 2: With substitute teachers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like an an so you log in.
Speaker 2: It's like a separate thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, but what not.
Speaker 5: But so if they're not looking at their classroom teacher,
oh they're they're doing a lessons with a substitute. But
they only set it up for like two weeks. And
Sonny got a taste of that shit and was like,
I get more done when I'm at home, and I'm like, so,
you know, he hates school so much, and he's like, look,
I'm not going to go to college, and I just
I get more done. And I do notice when he's
at school, I always get always get some sort of
like so, Sonny didn't go to third period and he's like,
I was there.
Speaker 1: I was just tarty or whatever. I always get that shit.
Speaker 5: And then I but but when he was doing his
online schooling, I know if he misses, they'll tell you
like he didn't show up for a second whatever period,
but he didn't miss any of it. And he was like, I,
honest to god, get more done when I'm home and
I and he's like, and I focus more. I just
I feel like I can have that peace and quiet
because he sits at the dining room table because I said,
if you're going to stay home or whatever tomorrow because
you are exposed, then I don't want you in bed.
Then you get up, go to the table and sit
at the table. So he's been doing that, and you know,
but now he's been home here and there like can
I can I can? I He went to the Rams
game the night before and he's like, well, I was exposed,
so I should probably stay home, like okay, you know,
and it's easier when I'm not there. He'll talk at
him into letting him stay home whatever. So he did
it a few times and I'm like, don't get used
to it. And now it's over. They can't do that anymore,
so he's back at school. But yeah, I mean, it's
so hard when they just don't want to go to school.
Speaker 3: Like so mine's worse because we don't have that option,
although Sadie says she can do one.
Speaker 2: Of her a couple of classes online.
Speaker 1: Your kids are good student, Yeah, they're very good students.
Speaker 2: But you know, it is just I feel like a
bad ad. I feel like a bad mom because I
let her, you know. And John is too.
Speaker 3: He's just like me. He's like, I guess we'll just
give her another mental health day. Let me because Sadie
wears me down. She says Italian, She'll just go like
we'll start like this. I'm really worried that, like I
was exposed to Lbie, I'm really worried I have COVID.
So she got tested and she was negative. She got
a PCR test the same day LB did. The same
day LB turned up positive. Sadie turned up negative, So
then we gave her another test yesterday, a rapid test
and a PCR both came back negative. I know that
she was hoping it would be positive so that she
could stay home from school. I one hundred percent know
that she denied, denied, deny. She was like, what, how
dare you know? Mom? I don't I wouldn't want to
miss all that school. I'm like, yes, you would, Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I know you?
Speaker 3: And she was like, mom, no, And I'm like she goes,
but I mean, by the way, like you know, I
mean we still don't.
Speaker 1: Know for sure.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd hate to go to school and find
out I had COVID. I said, your school's policy is
that you can go to school. You're going to be
in a mask all day. You're not going to get
anybody sick.
Speaker 2: She's like then, okay.
Speaker 3: So she doesn't know what to say to me at
that point because I was being a little bit like
strong and then she's like.
Speaker 2: My uh, She's like I do have a little bit
of a cough.
Speaker 1: No that she doesn't.
Speaker 3: It's like revisiting my sister. I'm like, mm, I go, so,
do you want to just stay home? Tomorrow because then
it will have been three days and then I could
rapid test her again.
Speaker 2: Right then, She's got no excuse. She's like I think
I should.
Speaker 3: In Xander's like, uh, is Sadie's staying home from school
tomorrow because you know, like Sadie's hanging out like, you know,
doing her hair extensions, like exper make up late.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not going to school. What do I care?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 2: And I have no fight in me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I knows no podcast.
Speaker 2: I get hurt seven Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Since Xander is like wet.
Speaker 2: And then kick come in.
Speaker 3: It's not going to school because as you know, she
has COVID so she can't go to school. So then
I'm like, okay, do I want to make it hard
on myself? Like do I do I need to get
up at the krack of dawn to take one kid
exactly the other to our home. Now a school would
be like, hell, yes you do. What if you only
had one kid? But I'm like, but you don't understand
because I have three. Two of them are staying home,
so what's one more?
Speaker 1: Ands Like that's the name of our podcast.
Speaker 2: I have to get in school?
Speaker 3: Do not do not get parenting advice from us, learn
from our mistakes, judge us if you want all you want,
and use.
Speaker 2: That judgment to better yourself and your parenting skills.
Speaker 1: That's right, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys should have known this is on
you when we had Betsy Brown brawn on. We never
listened to a single thing she said, and now our
kids are all fucked up. Like yeah, So I'm like,
I'm like, I go like this to Xander. Xander's like, well,
then do I have to go to school? And I go,
I don't know, do you want to go to school?
And he goes no, and I go, then ask your dad.
Speaker 1: That's what I did.
Speaker 2: You know, he doesn't want to do it because.
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to start over the process. It has
to restart over. So he's like I hear him going, like, Dad,
Sadie's staying home tomorrow. And John's like she is because
he's still behind ma. You know, I haven't told him
about that one yet. He's like, yeah, she's staying home
to our job. And he's like, so do I have
to go to school? Mom said to ask you? And
he's like, I guess not, all right, what's he going
to do guess what. He doesn't want to take x
under exactly because I have to work this morning, so
he would.
Speaker 2: Have had he'd be the one to give him the ride.
Speaker 1: So I knew.
Speaker 3: He was like all right, He's like okay, and I go, John,
are we doing the right thing? And he goes, I
don't know, It's just a mental health day. I guess right,
I have one more, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, until next week. It's like becoming like a weekly thing.
Speaker 5: I know, I know, but like, look by the way,
it makes me feel better that I hear all these
kids are like, they're all taking advantage of the stay home.
Speaker 1: Online schooling and didn't.
Speaker 5: Go to school and blah blah blah. But that's all
changing this week. So that's that that fun time was over.
Speaker 3: It is weird though, that we were home for an
entire year due COVID. Yeah, everybody did school online. Everybody
half asked it. Yeah, the teachers half asked it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Some teachers didn't have zooms at all.
Speaker 3: Some teachers were like, I'll post an assignment if I
feel like it, you know, check it or don't check it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: There might be an assignment there. Surprised there isn't one, right,
you know, right, and then some teachers were like, yeah,
I'm gonna do a zoom every day. Yeah, come when
you can. I don't know.
Speaker 2: And now all of a sudden, it's like, no, every
day they're.
Speaker 1: School, right, well I know.
Speaker 3: And by the way, you don't think that got past
the kids, like they're not dumbed. They're like Sunday's like,
how come we got everything accomplished at home last year?
Now we have to get back and sit there until
three o'clock, right, you know.
Speaker 5: It's just it's such a slog. It's just the non
stop what they don't want to go. They hate school
and it's hard. You're there in tenth grade. I get,
you know, a tough year. You know, they're in high
school and it's not supposed to be fun. I know
it's pain in the ass.
Speaker 3: But I know. And it's weird because I don't have
this this with Elbe, Like I don't know. Elbe's a
go get her right, doesn't get it from me, as
you know, But she's just like doesn't she did. She
was really bummed that she was gonna have to miss
cool this week. She's like, well, I can't. I have
a psychology test on Wednesday. I'm like, I don't know
what to tell, Like, you're literally not allowed to go
to school.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Of course, by the way, one hand is not telling
the other hand what it's doing, because I had called
you have to call this number. If your kid gets COVID,
you have to call this community engagement place. And then
they go, okay, so just be home for five days,
blah blah blah. Then if she has no symptoms, she
can go take a test. You have to upload the
negative test. I'm like, okay, do I need to call
the school. They're like, nope, it's all in her, like
they've been notified that she has COVID and that's why
she's going to be home. Well, of course, this morning
I get the call, Hey, lbe's absence for It's an
automated call, but it's like they make you jump through
so many hoops. It's like, you're the ones who tested
her and it came up positive, right, so why are
you freaking calling me, like to go, uh, you need
to have a valid excuse that your trial's not at school.
Please call the school.
Speaker 1: Please shut the fuck up. I know, I know.
Speaker 2: I'm like nobody knows. By the way, too.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I remember sometimes a long time ago, somebody was like,
you guys say by the way a lot, and I
was like, no, by the way, we do not say
by the way a lot.
Speaker 1: By the way we do it. I heard it for me,
it was like, no, it's totally wasn't that me totally
totally did.
Speaker 3: If you go on the website for the school, there
are so many things about vaccinations and the testing and
what to do if you've been exposed. Hardly anything about
what if your kid has COVID. It's like you have
to dig so deep, you have to go down a
rabbit hole to find out what exactly to do if
your kid has COVID. Wow, I know, it was like
a lot of research I had to do and then
find a number to call, and then hm, I know
what to do because I have to go get our
a negative test. But then this person said you have
to do it at a lab. But then this person said,
you can go to this place that's LAUSD has this
drive through place where they'll give you a test and
you just do it at home and if it's negative,
you take a pic sure of it, you uploaded.
Speaker 2: You call.
Speaker 1: It's a whole Kashaw to Akshaw, Right, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Hey Caylin, Hi, what's going on with your kids? You
said you're in potty training?
Speaker 1: Hell?
Speaker 6: Uh yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, my two and a half year old has
absolutely no interest. And I always heard of girls so
much easier than boys. Oh they're so easy.
Speaker 6: To Nope, numb.
Speaker 4: She cannot be bought with any kind of treats or toys.
She Yeah, she couldn't be further away from not wanting
to go onto the party.
Speaker 5: So how does it if you guys have honestly been trying, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm well, we can tell when she has to go,
and then they'll go, okay, like, let's go on the party,
let's try the fight. Nope, nope, won't do it, has
no interest. And I guess that's about as far as
we've gotten. And then you know, when she doesn't have
to go to the bathroom, say, hey, if you go
to the party, we'll give you treats, or hey, you
want to try the potty, look at mommy and dad
you're going to Nope, nope, doesn't care.
Speaker 2: No, So she doesn't even want to sit on it.
Speaker 3: No, did you buy her a little seat and everything? Yeah,
a little potty seat. Did you get her little potty
seat that goes on the toilet or you.
Speaker 4: Got her own little little got for a long time ago.
And she seemed to be interested in it at first,
and then one day.
Speaker 1: Just huh, yeah, well maybe she's just not ready. Then.
I don't know how.
Speaker 6: She's two and a half.
Speaker 1: Two and a half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'll be trained potty trained right at
that age. Yeah, but it would took a little bit,
I remember, does take it.
Speaker 6: I don't even really know where to start at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I remember because and I think I told this story before.
But so Julie Casem and I were really close.
Speaker 2: I'm at about this time, about.
Speaker 3: Two between two and two and half, and she started
getting very like I do not competitive, but very like
a little cocky, little two cocky. Really She's like, yeah,
Bella's we're potty training and she's doing so great, like
and I was like, how did you do it? You know,
because Elbie was also showing no interest, and she was like,
I just no under I mean I just put her
in underwear. I was like, and that's that. She started
like didn't like being wet, so she started sitting on
the potty and it's like going so great. We were
sitting in this restaurant called Quincy's, one of these places
where there's like peanut shells all over the foot.
Speaker 2: It's like a little bar like restaurant.
Speaker 3: And Bella and the girls had gotten up and they
were like kind of walking around, you know, two and
a half. And she's like, I mean, it's just going
so great. It was just kind of like the quickest
thing ever. And as we're watching Bella walk, there's little poops.
Speaker 2: Following on the floor. I go, what is that?
Speaker 1: I go, what is that? What is that?
Speaker 2: She goes, Oh god, I mean I'll never forget. Yeah.
Speaker 3: In the conversation, her daughter is pooping on the floor,
kind of leaving a trail of poops at like little
rabbit poops across the floor. And I was like, yeah,
not that easy, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Not that easy.
Speaker 5: I mean pretty I think that Sonny did it first
before her. Oh yes, how old she walked? She did
everything before Sonny. But when it came to potty training,
she was too stubborn. She want to be bothered.
Speaker 3: And Sonny they were like two three by I can't
remember how old.
Speaker 5: It's two and a half three. I guess I don't
know around Nady. No, they're still not, by the way,
spoiler alert, there's still not. But yeah, it was just
Natalia just she just didn't want to be, you know, bothered.
Sonny was the more dutiful one, like, oh what am I.
Speaker 1: Supposed to do?
Speaker 5: Okay, you know, let me no pun intended beautiful but
so yeah, he I just remember that Natalia was more
of a heart.
Speaker 6: She was more how did you get her to do
with them?
Speaker 5: I think that eventually she got sick of peeing in
her pants, and I remember having these like instances where
she would I would have the dry clothes ready and
she would pee and I would say, well, you know,
blah blah blah blah blah, and she was it was
candy that did it to me.
Speaker 1: I think it was buying her with skittles. She loved them.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of all of the dream I don't
really remember, but that's I do remember that she was
a pain in the ass. All right, Have you tried uh,
like as if I'm some kind of an expert, but
she won't even even if you said, like, I'll give
you an eminem if you just sit on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to find something that she wants.
Speaker 4: Favorite thing seems to be chips. She loves chips more
than anything. And so I'll often say to her, if
you go to the if you go sit on the potty,
well I'll give you chips.
Speaker 6: You can have as many chips as you want.
Speaker 1: No, oh, don't you know what.
Speaker 5: Take her to the store and buy her favorite bag
of chips and say this is just.
Speaker 1: For when you go potty.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's not about idea.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's always got to be like they gotta see it,
and it's got to be like, you know, a big
production around it, Like we're just gonna go just for
you know, your bag of chips. Pick anyone you want,
and we're just gonna save it though, And she's gonna
throw a fit and want one right then and there.
Speaker 6: But I like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but keep it because that's what it was.
It was always bribing.
Speaker 5: And once you get their attention and then they see
they're going to get it, then they get.
Speaker 1: Used to it and then rest is history.
Speaker 3: And then the other thing that it also worked for
Elbe was the offering of like the big girl panties,
the underwear.
Speaker 6: We've read that one that week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've even bought it her own frozen and cocomelaon panties.
Speaker 5: You have to find what she really really wants. That's yeah,
I mean bribe, but it'll don't worry, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: They're all over the place at that age.
Speaker 3: That's why a lot of the preschools are like they
understand that just because your kid is starting preschool like
doesn't mean they're gonna suddenly like potty train right away.
Speaker 1: So most of them will allow for.
Speaker 4: I think it's an extra fee though most of them are.
They have to be potty trained, and if they're not,
you're going to pay more money.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that is a hard one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember all those things at that age. Each
little milestone is like getting them to go to bed
and getting them to especially like I remember when Elbie
got the big girl bed.
Speaker 2: They're like keeping them innute and.
Speaker 3: Like how you know, m hm, because they're they're like
little monkeys, like they don't they're thinking in with a
very like primal brain, like they're not logical.
Speaker 5: I remember the first the big boy big girl beds.
Speaker 1: Natalia was fine.
Speaker 5: We put the little Adam called him training wheels where
you put the thing on the sides so they don't
fall off. Natalia had those for a while and then
she's like, I don't want these on my bed anymore,
so we took them off. Sonny was like, no, you
ain't taking these off. And I just remember never like
wanting to travel because if we did, I'd need a
bed that.
Speaker 1: Sonny's not gonna fall off of, right.
Speaker 3: I just like, and you now he's like four years
old and he still doesn't want to have the thing
off the side of his bed. Like it was like, enough, buddy,
you're not going to go anywhere you're gonna fall to
your death. You're fine, Just like, yes, all those milestones.
I remember the passes that I remember the pacifiers because
on their third birthday, that's when I was like, okay,
you're done. On the third birthday, those things are gone.
So they would only have them when they would go
to slip or take a nap.
Speaker 1: And I remember.
Speaker 5: Leaving one so they had like two or three in
their crib that I would just leave one down to
they had one and then I just decided then I
was like, okay, no, you're not gonna have your binkies anymore,
they're gone. You're three years old. The binkie fairy took
them away and they suffered for like a night or
two and then that was it.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, imagine if people could quit smoking that way,
if somebody was like, I'm sorry, there's no more to back.
Speaker 1: Fairy took it.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I don't know what to tell you, there's no
more cigarettes.
Speaker 2: And then you were like, this is really hard.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's gonna be hard for like a night or
two and then you're gonna be okay, take one cigarette
at a time out of the box till he's.
Speaker 1: Down and none.
Speaker 2: We should do that with Kaitlin with Heroin, yes, like.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I forgot to talk to you about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Heroin. I don't know if you're aware.
Speaker 6: I was listening in my office. Yes, I'm not a
Heroin junkie.
Speaker 2: We're like down to one.
Speaker 3: Okay, you can shoot up one time today, that's it.
And it's finally like, okay, no more Heroin. The Heroin
fairy came and took all your drug Kaelin. Nobody says
that you tell you look like Casey.
Speaker 6: You are the first one that is what is your?
Speaker 1: What does your does she think, what does she think?
Speaker 6: No, no, she has not said that.
Speaker 5: Yay, you look just like I mean, it's crazy. Anyway,
what are you watching anything?
Speaker 4: So there was this Showtime show called Yellow Jackets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just finished. I heard everybody.
Speaker 4: That one's pretty good and I think you too could
get into that one. And then there's another there's a
new Netflix there's the new season of Ozark of course, yes, yeah,
I've only seen one episode of that so far. And
then I'm just about finishing this Netflix show called Archive
eighty one.
Speaker 6: Oh, well, just came out. It's kind of like a
horror creepy.
Speaker 4: Some guys like remastering VHS tapes from the nineties. This
building caught flames and there's a cult involved. So oh
you might like that one.
Speaker 1: Oh that's creepy really Archive eighty one.
Speaker 4: Archive eighty one Yeah, oh I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 2: That sounds good.
Speaker 1: I like creepy, weird culp shit, I mean odd. Did
you watch the Times Square Murder art on Netflix? No,
it's good Times Square Murder. Yeah. I you need a
new pod.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I for some reason feel it's it's kind of all
of a sudden I might have gone through this a
while a while ago, but now I'm going through it again.
I don't want to hear about like gory murders. Yeah,
I just like, just listening to a podcast of some
woman getting like raped and murdered, I'm like, oh, that's
not fun. I want to just hear the psch the
psychology stuff, right, Like I want to hear about somebody
who's like fucked up and did some Like I don't
mind if there's a murder in the story.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're not a monster, I know, I
get it even better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course a killing, right is gonna happen, but
I wanted to focus more on like some insane family
dynamic that happened and then you're finding out stuff like
I don't want it to just be about, hey, this
woman got like snatched out of her bed and murdered brutally,
and then like, oh, we did some DNA and then
we found the person.
Speaker 5: You want to you want to podcast? Like did you
ever watch Mine Hunter? Is it Mine Hunter?
Speaker 2: Mind Hunter? A little?
Speaker 1: Yeah that was about a serial killer though, right, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah season two was even bet like was I think
better like it? There was Charles Manson in there. There's
a couple people that they profiled. I think, yeah, but
yeah podcast, I.
Speaker 3: Just listened to this episode of Oh do you guys
listen to Invisible Choir? No, okay, So it's like it's
a lot like Sort and Scale, but minus the problematic
post and minus all the opinions. Yes, all the weird opinions.
It's just like, but it's all. But he used to
be a writer for Sword and Scale. He wrote a
lot of the good episodes. And there was just an
episode about this famous it's a guy who was a
famous like commentator, sports commentator out of Chicago and his
son who was like a sociopath.
Speaker 2: No, but the son was just like this total.
Speaker 3: Awful, like constantly committing crimes and kind of getting away
with it. And part of it was because the dad
and mom were always they got him lawyers and they
and then he finally goes too far.
Speaker 2: But it's like I love.
Speaker 3: Stories like that where the point of his final crime
is not really the story. It's really like how these
parents just kept getting him better lawyers and how he
just kept getting off and all the things he was doing,
and then the aftermath of he commits his crime and
it affected that parents and like that stuff is really interesting.
Okay I need more like that? Yeah, got anything?
Speaker 5: No, I'm still listening to the fucking What's Her Faces trial?
Speaker 2: Elizabeth Holmes.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I'm almost done.

love everybody.
