Speaker 1: Made a decision a face Sunny sum I had vision night,
so ch everybody. Oh there, Hi, I'm so excited. I
don't know why.
Speaker 2: I wake up on Monday mornings and I'm like, yes.
Speaker 1: Therapy, you're talking a lots crazily.
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot has happened this week. And
also nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you about my week.
Speaker 2: The lives of a fifty something right your old mom.
Speaker 1: Also for me and you, I mean, you're getting there,
but like once our kids are gone, there's you know,
it will be a whole host of other things to
talk about. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So I'm dropping LB. I drop her off on the sixteenth,
which is a week from today, but in the afternoon
after we record two thirty, between two thirty and three,
she moves in. But then here's the difference because her
classes don't start till the twenty sixth. Okay, so she's like,
I don't even know if I'll stay in the apartment
the first night, Like I might just come back home.
Oh good, because I know, I'm like, take your time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice. Yeah, So her classes start on the
twenty six Yeah's the day Sunny leaves for Oregon.
Speaker 2: That's the day he leaves, he drives up. Yeah, right,
so he's here's classes they don't start till October.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not until the following week. Wow. Yeah, I mean
it's different. I guess out there and he's you know,
it's the community college, so it's a little different than
the Well, the university starts around the same time too,
because one of his best friends is driving up at
the same time to check in, and I think his
classes start the following week. Yeah, they start pretty late,
so he's gonna drive up there, and then I think
I'm gonna fly up, like I think maybe a day
or two after he gets there, because you know, his
dad's driving him up. But well, I mean, I guess
I could talk. I have to really sit down with
Sunny and really talk about everything, how he's setting everything up,
and if he does, he think he's gonna need my help,
because then I could just fly up there for a
day and help him set up. I don't know how
much he's going to be doing that with his dad,
because I think his dad has a show like the
day after or something out there, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: But he'd probably only help him. Well, he's going to
be in an apartment. Yeah, furnished, I can't remember.
Speaker 1: Most mostly furnished.
Speaker 2: Yes, So it is a university not it's not a university.
Speaker 1: It's not a niversity.
Speaker 2: It's a community college apartment housing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's all college students, okay, and I guess
they're all maybe maybe there's some that's going to the university.
I think it's a mixture of the two. And then
his friend Archie is going to be living up the street.
He goes to the university on off like what Elbe's do.
I think what you described for Elbe's place, which is
a university affiliated housing, which is like right up the
street from Sunny where he's going to be living. So yeah,
so it's it's semi it's pretty furnished, but you know,
he needs to bring dishes and pots and pans that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So Elbie's gonna have there's gonna be eight of them, right,
four bedroom and I've been kind of taking her on
some outings to get stuff. It's very frustrating because so
the girls all decided that they're going to bring their
own dishes. Each person is going to bring like a few,
so I it's like camping, Like I basically got her okay,
two plates, three bowls, and like a little like four
plastic kind of cups and like a coffee mug. Right, yeah,
so good, that's good. Yeah, because I'm like, well, if
there's eight kids. But then also I said, well, you're
gonna need a frying pan, you're gonna need a blender.
But why don't you guys need to talk about who's
gonna who's got what. You're welcome to bring a frying pan,
but I don't want to buy everything exact and have
everybody bring everything. And she's like no, no, no, I know.
We are like okay, so for instance, we're walking in
the bathroom part, well, there's gonna be four girls sharing
a bathroom, so I bought like a trash can, right
a bathroom. But like, you don't want to buy bucks,
you don't want to be buying everything everything, and then
and then they're gonna need I bought her the shower curtain.
I bought her the bath mat.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, that's what I did for Natalia as well.
I bought the same exact items for their bathroom because
of like there's no shower curtain, you know, and there's
they need towels and stuff. But the other mom, the
other mom that was there, she said, you know, she's saying,
she was telling me, like, don't go and do all that.
You know, I can go and help to I'll you know,
you tell me what you're gonna get. I'll buy some things.
So we kind of split it up. But there's another
girl that's sharing a bathroom. Yeah, so you don't know
what to buy. It's the girls that have to get together.
They have to talk, they have to make a list.
Speaker 2: So Elbe says they've made hurt. She and the other
girl got together. They did a big face time and
then she says they made a Google doc about who's
bringing what, but that not everybody's signed up for stuff,
so there's holes right now. I'm like, well, we ain't
filling in all the holes, right.
Speaker 1: I bought her towels.
Speaker 2: I've spent a lot of money already though that I
just didn't know. I mean, listen, that's stupid of me
to not think. But it is furnished. I was like, okay,
so we need to get you a desk lamp, and
we need to get you some decorps. But when you
start buying, like I'm just trying to think, you know,
a soap dish and this and that you're like, this
stuff does really add up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to furnish their whole kitchen, right, like
they all need to chip in, Yes, they should, and
I don't. I mean, it's been since the dawn of
time that kids have gone off to college. Why isn't
there a better system?
Speaker 1: Seems there's I feel like there should be some software
for dorms. Maybe there is, we just don't know. I
don't know, but but there should scent it. Yeah, there
should be some app. You know, Hey, have you ever
heard of the dorm app? You download it, everybody can
log in and see what they need, kind of like
a registry for when they're getting married. There should be
a better system. I feel like there's not. Everybody's kind
of just fending for themselves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and definitely if you're gonna be sharing an apartment
with people, right, Yeah, it's you know what's really actually
surprisingly hard to navigate is the UCLA system for even
paying your bill. Oh right, I'm telling you that last
week about trying to get the third party access and
then you're going onto the LA the Bruins Parents Facebook
group going okay, stupid question, but yes, and then you
get fourteen different answers, like different people are like, well
with my kid, I did blah blah blah, and you're like,
shouldn't there be one way that every single person does it?
Because I called Julie because her daughter, Bella, is at UCLA,
and I'm like, how did you pay Bella's bill? She's like, oh,
I just went into Bella's portal. She just gave me
her log in information and I just attached the bank
account and then I put them blah blah. It's like, well,
that sounds way more complicated than it should be. I
should be able to log in there, which I did
figure out how to do, but it took it took
a while, and then I had to be like okay, Elb,
I have a log in, but I and then Elbe
was like, okay, I figured it out. From it's a
lot of figuring out just to pay these people some money, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's it's just you would think
they would have a better system. I mean, the portal
sounds great, like everything's right there, but not really is
everything right there? There's a lot of questions. I don't know.
I guess it's our first time doing it. Maybe maybe
there is a better way. I don't know, but yeah,
it's just there's But once you get it going, I
think once you get everything set up the first year
it everything will go tom But there's.
Speaker 2: A lot of questions that come up, such as you
see a lot of the kids have to they pay
for insurance. It's just automatically on your bill. Okay, So
but we don't need insurance because we already pay up
the ass right for as everybody knows, say it with me,
blue shield. I pay a lot of money for a
blue shield.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: We paid twenty three hundred dollars a month is our
premium every month, right, So it's not going to save
us very much money to take her off of it
for a year. It doesn't matter, so we might. She
gets to stay on until she's twenty six.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So anyway, we already have insurance. We pay for it,
but they make it difficult to waive the insurance. It's
thousands of dollars to have to use the Universe City insurance.
But then, before you get too excited, we got our
insurance wave. But then They also have something called Bruin Care,
which is like one hundred and eighty dollars. And then
if something happens and it's on campus and they you know,
it's either you pay this much money up front, which
we elected to do, or it's twenty five dollars a visit.
I'm like, look, if you're sick and you need to
go in or get medication or whatever, I want you
to be able to just go in on campus and
to go find an ultra urgent care.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's great. Actually, Bruin Care, Ruin Care.
Speaker 2: It's just every day. I'm like, okay, what do I
have to Kalin? You think looking for like preschools and
elementary schools. College is like its own set of craziness.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you got time. Oh yeah, but how is it?
Al is kindergarten?
Speaker 3: Yeah that's good.
Speaker 1: Good, it's all going well. No volunteering yet, huh.
Speaker 3: I did a volunteering for the soccer team on Saturday.
Speaker 2: How was it?
Speaker 3: It was fine? I didn't They put me at one
of the food tables to help, you know, and I
pretty much didn't have anything to do. I just stood
there for an hour. So it was actually really easy.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a two hour commitment.
Speaker 3: Well Amy did one hour, I did the other.
Speaker 1: Oh good, yeah it smart tag team.
Speaker 2: You see, there was nothing to do. You just sat there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just they had they were like overstaffed, so
there was already people running it. So it was like
I handed a couple of cokes to the people that
were running the booth and then that was it. They
had stuff that they wanted me to do, but they
didn't really have their shit together, so I couldn't really
go do it. So I just kind of stood there
for an hour.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, all right, see that's funny.
I remember back in the day when they would, you know,
ask for the volunteers. You gotta sign up, got to
sign up, and then there'd be too many volunteers, you know.
Always it was like what am I doing here?
Speaker 2: All right to be here, but all they do is
wine that there's no volunteers. Yeah, and then when you're like,
well I'm here volunteering, they're like, uh huh, well we
already have twelve of you. Yeah right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So not this week, but next week is back to
School night at the kids' school, and because I am
co chair of the fundraising committee. I have to be
there both nights, you know, okay, begging everybody for money. Well,
I was telling you about this last week where I
was like, I got kind of strong armed into being
the co chair of this committee where I'm like, well,
I'm not good at organization getting a million emails like
every day.
Speaker 1: But I did get.
Speaker 2: The comedy store to donate tickets. I got the Groundlings
to donate some tickets.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have some stuff, But I don't see why
I shouldn't just be on the committee, like, hey, I'll help.
There's no world in which I should be in charge
of this. I do not have the organizational skills. Well,
but it seems like you're getting it done right. But
we could have a bunch of people like on the
committee that are in charge of like going after gift
cards or items.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yes, what I thought I would be good at would
be I'm not shy. So I said, well, you know,
you can put me in front of the school and
I'll tell everybody about the school and why it's important
to donate to our annual fund and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't care, so you'll sit out. Is that what
you're doing next for back to school night. Yeah, and
it all show up that's going to be sitting there
and go, hey, everybody come sign up for you know,
not exactly I will go up and actually say and hey,
this is a free school.
Speaker 2: It's a public school. We get publicly funded. But in
order for us to we at this amazing education that
feels like you're at a private school, everybody has to
like help out and make a donation.
Speaker 1: That's just every school though, Like.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what school your kids go to, even
if it's the public school, they ask you to donate.
So our way of doing it is instead of hitting
people up constantly throughout the year with fundraisers, it's a
once a year, please donate a yearly donation.
Speaker 1: To the school. Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2: That makes that so I have to try to shame
people into like, right, yeah, giving a sizeable sum, right,
which I don't.
Speaker 1: Think is that much. Why are you in charge of
doing that and going out and getting things donated from
the improv and stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, because we can't depend on people on the committee
doing it. So this is what I'm saying because every
time I talk to my co chair, who's way more
organized and smarter than I am. She's like, well, it's
basically us doing it. So then I feel bad. So
but I sent a bunch of emails out and heard
nothing back that those were the couple I did hear
back from. Oh I tried, like Burke Williams, I tried.
I tried a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: And so you heard back from the improv and.
Speaker 2: The Comedy Store was very generous.
Speaker 1: That's what did they What did they offer?
Speaker 2: They offered us four certificates and each certificate is good
for four admission tickets to any show and one hundred
dollars worth of food and drink.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: So it was like an eight hundred dollars value.
Speaker 1: That's great, I know. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if you figure admission to the Comedy Store is
for a show is like twenty five bucks a person, Yeah,
so twenty So each certificate you get one hundred dollars
worth of food and drink.
Speaker 1: That's amazing admission. That's nice. I know. I wonder if
they get hit. I wonder if people even think about
hitting up the Comedy Store for fundraising. Yeah, I don't know.
In school, so maybe they were like, oh.
Speaker 2: It's kind of adult because kids can't go. You have
to be over twenty one. But I was like, hey,
I realized this is not for high school kids, but
you know, parents like to have fun too, of course.
Speaker 1: And your school is kind of artsy that way, you know,
I'm sure a lot of that's what I said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool that I didn't even say I was
a comedian for a lot of years because I figured
they're going to go who cares. Nobody cares, So I
didn't even try. I didn't even try that angle. I
didn't even try to go, Hey, a lot of my
best friends are still currently comedians that work at the car.
I I was like, if I wanted to do that,
I would ask one of my comedian friends to try.
Speaker 1: But I thought I would just go this way first.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but I believe me. I thought about being like,
you know, I've worked at the comedy Like. I was like,
they're going to be like, Lady No, I was on
Star Search in the nineties, Yeah, please give my kids
school a donation. We're going to be like, are you
drunk right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you even know the names of any current comedians?
Speaker 1: I'd have to feel like, no, Joe Rogan right shore
I've met Polly Shore. Yeah right, wow, that's nice though.
That's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So have you ever done that for you for
the kids' school?
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to get I did, Yes, yeah
I had. I got Jimmy Kimmel live tickets a long
time ago when I was I mean yeah, like really
early on when they couldn't even get you know, decent
guests on the show. Okay, right, like back then I got.
Speaker 2: So we're people like thanks, but no thanks, right, Oh,
I want tickets to go see Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because for a long time he was that
show was in the red, wasn't making any money. It
was uh, nobody wanted to go see it. Yeah it was.
But then the other thing, what else did I get
tickets for? I got that, and then well I always
had Adam's Warehouse, which was nice. You know that went
over big a lot with Dad's. Okay, come see the
cars of the Warehouse or come watch it taping of
the Adam Corolla podcast. I did that then. Oh, and
then I did a lot. There's this like a couple
of local because where our elementary school was, there was
like the Gelato place.
Speaker 2: The it was called the Big Chill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the Yes. And then there was the
the Sunglass Hut or whatever next door there was a
Sunglass place. Okay, so once they gave me like a
coupon for their place, but the the Big Chill would
give me, you know, like after school coupons for the
kids to come have ice cream and stuff, those little
things like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ice to love the Big Chill. They're one of
the early adapters to Sugar Free from h. Yeah, not
that i'd care about that right now, because I'm sugar Oh,
I'm back. I'm back in it. I've been okay, I've
been okay though you've been keeping it. I'm counterbalancing it
with going to the gym, so I don't feel as
bad about it.
Speaker 1: That's nice. There you go. Yeah, well that's good.
Speaker 2: H should we let's talk about quints.

Sonny got his wisdom teeth last week? Okay, and when
was it? I think it was the next day after
we recorded or don whatever it was last Wednesday. Anyway, Uh,
he got his wisdom teeth out and I took him
in the morning. He had like he had he get
he had get the two on both sides the bottoms. Uh,
and one of them was kind of impacted. So okay,
so UH bring him in the morning. And I've told
the story about Natalia how she did. I mean, she
woke up in the recovery room crying saying they didn't
put her out, spitting blood to you know, you know,
just miserable. So I told Sonny this and I said,
it's going to be interesting to see how you do,
you know, and we talked about it. I was like,
are you nervous? He's like, no, I'm fine. So we
go there and I said to him, I go Albie
did great. Like I think she went to a concert
like a couple days later.
Speaker 2: Because he asked me he was a Universal Studios for
the entire day two days after it, Like, let's say
it was hers was on a Monday Wednesday. She was
at Universal all day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he asked about Uh, he's been going on
bike rides on his electric bike almost every it's too
hot during the day, but at night he's been going
on these bike rides and he you know, he was
asking me like, am I going to be able to go?
When can I get on the bike again? Because he
just got this bike out of the shop. It's been
in the shop for a long time, so he's really interested.
It really ended up riding it. So I said, I
don't know, we'll see what the dentist says. So Brigham
in I wait for him. He has to sign all
the paperwork because he's eighteen.
Speaker 2: No, it isn't that crazy.
Speaker 1: And he kept giving it back and they're like, oh,
you missed the spot. Oh you knew, you know. And
kids with their signatures, they don't know, Like he just
prints his name. It's like signature and print looks the
same top and bottom. Yeah, they don't. He doesn't know.
Speaker 2: They don't have signatures.
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't, and they don't they haven't learned cursive. Really, Oh,
I know not since I think he we were talking
about it. I don't know. It was when in elementary school.
You know, he was remembering how it had the dots
at the top and then the dots at the bottom.
He's like, yeah, we did that once and that was it.
Speaker 2: My kids said the same thing.
Speaker 1: It's like one.
Speaker 2: Cursive lesson, and then then that was what. They just
are told to print stuff.
Speaker 1: I get. I guess it's like so much.
Speaker 2: Harder to print. Printing is impossible. I can't even imagine printing.
Speaker 1: I know it's much easier, but I guess that's the type. Well,
the typing is.
Speaker 2: The but they don't even teach typing, by the way, right,
they should have class so that kids can properly.
Speaker 1: That is the best class I ever took was the
typing class.
Speaker 2: And we barely typed. What what did we use typing for?
We weren't taking computers in class, so we're going to typing,
but we were. We were learning typing so that we
could go do temp work as soon as we graduated
from high school, right, mm hmm, so we could go
work for Apple Temp.
Speaker 1: Services exactly, haff and travel. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sixty words a minute, sixty five words a minute.
Speaker 1: I was pretty fast.
Speaker 2: I've talked about this, but all from typing class in
high school. Me too, And it was so hard at first.
I remember being so frustrated and like you you have
to there's like a fox.
Speaker 1: The fox jumped over.
Speaker 2: It's something that you do that uses all of the
letters that you have to practice over and over and
over and over. But as soon as you get it,
it's like.
Speaker 1: A second nature. I mean I would I can look
up close my eyes and somebody can dictate type. Still
I'm not great.
Speaker 2: At the numbers. I still numbers.
Speaker 1: I still I SA same with me the numbers. Because
it took so long to get the letters down, I
was like, how often am I I have to use numbers?
But yes, anyway, okay, so he we go, he feels
out the paperwork. He uh takes about half an hour.
They come out and say, okay, you know, Sony's ready,
go into the.
Speaker 2: Recovery a nothing thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same in Italia. Wasn't very long, okay, and take
very long and go into the recovery room. And he's
just laying there with the thing around his head, you know.
And I always think of the night Stalker with that
thing around because remember when they caught the night Stalker
in like East l A and like the Vactos beat
the ship out of him and they put him there
was the picture in the La Times like night stock
are caught and he's got this whole thing around wrapped
around his head because he got the shit kicked out
of him anyway, So that's what Sunny looked like, the
night stalker. Totally fine, totally fine, Oh no problem, Oh yeah,
just sitting there, you know, kind of cracking joke, said
like he was fine, had the ice pack around his face.
Dennis came in said, you know, one side might be
kind of sore because we had to go at it
a little bit. But he did really well. And then
that Dennis goes, I did really well. Actually, I was
like he had a good sense of humor. Was he cute?
He was kind of cute. Yeah, had you know, yeah,
he's And then it was weird. He started talking about
doctor Drew oh no, out of nowhere, and he was like,
uh yeah, like I was, oh, I think he was
talking to Sonny about it, saying that he used to
share an office building with him, and he said he
wasn't a very talkative guys. And so then he told
me that and I was like, all right, this is
okay whatever. So anyway, take Sonny home and I thought
he would be sleeping most of the day, but he, uh,
he did take a nap when he got home, and
then he woke up and I got him. I made
him soup, tons of soup, and then I made him spaghetti,
which was kind of easy.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Penny made him spaghetti a couple of days later, like
mostly like just soft you know, stuff oatmeal for breakfast.
And it was nice. It was just sunny and I
all week hanging out, just chilling, you know, just the
two of us and just making him foods and making
him stuff to eat. And the funny thing is is
he they gave him a couple of Vicodins and he's
never taken it before, and I like, I forgot how
it is when you're on vicotin Like all you want
to do is chit chat. Yes, And my god, and
Sonny is a top Okay, I was gonna say.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, like, yeah, I have experience
with that, and then I remember that you do too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like all you want to do is just
dip it. Oh yeah. And he's a talker as it is,
you know, once he gets going right, he doesn't stop.
But my god, we sat in the kitchen for like
probably three hours one day and we were just talking,
just chatting up a storm, you know.
Speaker 2: Like he was did he seem high?
Speaker 1: I told him, I said sending and I could tell
the medications effect. How do you feel? And he was like, uh, yeah,
I do feel a little antsy. And I said because
you're extra talkative, and he's like yeah, I guess like
he he wasn't. I thought he was going to be
able to like relax and sleep, excuse me, but now
he was up and alert and just wanting to socialize
with his mom.
Speaker 2: I remember so well that vicodin that that's what vicodin
did to me. Also, I mean I would well also
cocaine obviously, Yeah, people are like that on cocaine, but
you would think, yes, vicodin would have the opposite effect.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: I wanted to like go through all my contacts and
I wanted to talk to people I haven't talked to
in like five years and just be like, what is up?
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: I felt love for everybody exactly.
Speaker 2: It was such a great like I loved I told
you if I could have. I mean, the only problem
with vicodins, as you know, is you can't poop.
Speaker 1: Oh that's once you've been on it for a couple
of days.
Speaker 2: So like I haven't taken vicodin, And I mean, well,
I'm just thinking, even post sobriety, if I've had to
have vik it in for anything. And I think I
had one vicodin after my implant, huh, like the morning
of and then I didn't take it again. But and
it's mostly because like I don't want to get constipated.
Speaker 1: I know, right, And now, yeah, that's the that was
the worst. I don't think he has that problem. But uh,
it was just fun, you know. He's like telling me
stories about, uh, how he talks about this kid that
bugs the shit out of him and his whole family.
But and Sonny never really talks like that. No, he's
not a gossipy kid. But let's let's just say this
kid's name, and let's call him ace Ventura because his
first and last name rhymes with ace Ventura, Okay, And
he's one of these people where you have to say
their first and last name when you talk about them.
So he's like, this fucking ace Ventura kid. His dad's
a dou sh He's like, his dad's one of these
wheeler dealer guys that always has this entrepreneurial ideas and
he's gonna be the next big thing. And he's not
anything at all. And one of our friends interned for
him and he was an asshole. And he's and he's
telling me that one weekend they were down by Newport
Beach and they rented the ace vent to a family
rented a house and he was like, I don't want
to go to Ace's house, but all his friends wanted
to go. There was like three other boys going, and
then Natalia's friends from volleyball were there. She wasn't, but
these girls were there. And then ace Ventura's dad rented
a not a dinghy, one of these boats, these duffy
it's called a duffy boat. Oh yeah, I know. He
has a duffy boat. So he's like, hey, kids, let's
all get in the duffy boat, and like with the
girls too. And we're like okay, So we get in
the boat. And then he's one of these dads that
that has to buy everybody like twisted ice teas. Hey guys,
like the cool dad, you know. And so now we
got like my stupid dumb friends that are not saying
anything sitting in the duffy boat, you know, because these
now like six hot chicks from high school are all
on the boat and he goes, but you know these girls, right, mom.
He's like, they're really sweet, really nice, easy to talk to,
and I'm like yeah, and uh so I'm like trying
to like talk to mister ace Ventura because he's using
you know, the other kids are too quiet and shy,
so that he's using me, Hey, Sonny, do this, do that. Meanwhile,
the girls are just standing there, like one of the
girls goes, hey, Sonny, tell the story about when you
fell off the bike and make it funny. So now
he's like trying to talk to the girls. And then
the boat gets tangled up with these fishermen and the
one fisherman guy yells, hey, you know your your your
duffy is getting tangled because mister Ventura doesn't know how
to control it. Oh no, and there's no oars, there's nothing.
And then the battery dies and we're tangled up with
fishing boats and one guy goes hey, mother like yells
at him like dumb jackass, and mister Ventura goes, hey, whoa, whoa,
there's kids on the boat, and Sonny goes Sonny goes,
I couldn't take it anymore. I go, hey, what do
you don't say there's kids on the boat when you
just bought us all twisted iced tea. I'm not little kids,
mister Ventor, like what you know? And then somehow they
get to the dock, they get the girls off, but
then they're starting to drift out to the bay again
and they He's like tell that. Mister Ventor was like,
get the the the cushions, the seat cushions, and use
him as oars to try and battle back to the dock. Yeah. Yes,
And then it was just but him telling the story.
I was I was cracking up. He was making me
laugh so hard, but like, yeah, he never tells me
this kind of stuff. I was like, why didn't you do?
When did this happen? He was over the summer and
I was like, you never tell me any of this stuff,
you know. So that was a nice thing about the
Viking in that's hilarious. Yeah, it was really it was
a funny story. And then I have a Patreon this
week a little bit. Yeah about my week was sonny. Okay,
I can't wait for that.
Speaker 2: So speaking of dental work, yes, I had I finally
the crown and now I am queen. No I so
when when we last talked to me. Last week. I
was having to go get the crown and I was scared.
I was scared, yeah, because I don't like the dentists
and I have a lot of anxiety about it. And
as you know, when i'd gotten the root canal, I
got the gas. But everybody said that the crown is
not gonna hurt getting the crown. But and then some
people were like, oh, but then i'd gone the week before.
I told you, and she told me that they'd already done.
When they did the root canal, they'd already filled it
up with something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, they did.
Speaker 2: Something that made it so that it was good. The
I dentist was like, oh, I didn't know they were
going to do that. It's they filled it up with something,
so you're but anyway, was that last week she'd already
already gone in and then she said, you're good, come
back on whatever again in a couple of days, and
then we're going.
Speaker 1: To do the crown. Right.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, and then we'll be done. So instead
of two appointments, it was only going to be one appointment, right,
So the first appointment was going to be like, I
don't know what, refilling it up with some stuff to
keep taking uh the the what do you call it?
Measurements and yeah, imprint.
Speaker 1: Or oh yeah, the imprint mold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so that's what I'm thinking. So I go
back and then she's like, yeah, so now I have
to grind down your tooth until it's just a little
thing that we can put the crown on it. And
I was like, hey, what I thought? I literally I
was like, I thought you said that that was already
they'd already done that, and she's like done what. I'm like, Okay,
there's a lack of communication here because you told me
that my end a Dantis had already done everything. She's like, yeah,
he did, but we still have to I was like,
so now you got to undo everything he did. She's
like yeah, because I got it.
Speaker 1: And You're like it sounds like a lot of work.
Speaker 2: I'm like that sounds scary and painful, is what I'm thinking.
I'm like, with drills are gonna be And she's like,
you're not going to feel anything because the tooth is dead,
and I was like, but I thought the tooth isn't dead,
because isn't that what the root canal? Was for saving
the tooth. She's like, yes, because we saved. I don't understand, Lynnette,
but apparently I got no roots in that they went
in and took.
Speaker 1: She's swearing to me, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Gonna feel anything, right, So I'm like, okay, let's numb
the area. Anyway, though, she was like, okay, good thinking,
because like we'll just numb at least so the gums
so you don't feel anything on your gums. I'm like, yes, okay,
so we numb it up. So then I'm trying to
listen to a podcast. Let me tell you, listening to
a podcast it doesn't work. You gotta listen to music. Yeah,
you're gonna you're trying to like focus on the story.
Speaker 1: And you just hear no, I know, it doesn't work.
Speaker 2: It sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I go to the dentist, I tried it,
and also like they'll you hear the you hail the
dentist and then you hit pause and you go, huh, yeah,
I wasn't talking to you. I'm talking to the nurse, okay.
And then it's like and it hit pause, No I
am talking to you this time, yes, yeah, yes, And
then you got to turn it up when the thing
when the drill fires up, and then you got to
turn it down when they're done with the drill. It's
too much of an ass.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And also I know I'm sorry I made
him turn off the air. We could turn it back on.
Just turn it turn it on low please, thank you?
Speaker 1: Kaylin Uh.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're in the not climate controlled exactly.
Speaker 1: Where now it's either too hot or too cold. Yeah.
So yes.
Speaker 2: So also there's somebody that's there doing the suction. They
got that suction tool in there, and they're like okay.
But at a certain point I was like give me
that thing, like let me just do it, you know
what I mean, because there's.
Speaker 1: Like too many cooks yet not enough cooks, and it
was yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyway, she grinds my tooth down, but at one
point I think I feel it, so I kind of
jump a little bit because listen.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I can't swear I felt something, but my brain told
me I did. Maybe she bumped the other tooth.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But then she got mad.
Speaker 2: At me because I was like whoa, And then she
was like what I said, I think I felt something,
And she's like, but did you feel something? And I'm like, okay,
am I under oath right now? Like I don't know
for sure, but it seemed like I did. And she
was like, but did it hurt? And I was like,
oh my god, I'm not on trial. I'm the one
having dental work. It's scary for me. And she I
was like, I'm just trying to ascertain, like whether you
actually felt something, because you wouldn't have felt something on
the tooth that I'm working on.
Speaker 1: And I was like, let's just stop, let's just shop it. Yeah.
I get back to her.
Speaker 2: I felt so stupid. I was just like, probably, okay, anyway.
Speaker 1: Just continue fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then every time I would just be like
a little bit tense, she'd be like, are you okay?
And I'm like, I feel like you're being condescending right now.
Speaker 1: I'm fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, then she finishes all that. Then you
have to like bite down on some like really gross
tasting stuff. It's a whole thing, It's a whole kashaw Right.
Speaker 1: Then I'm like, okay, the bikedown thing bite bite, bite, grind, grind, grind, right,
And it's so that they could see where if you're
too tall, if your bite's not all the way.
Speaker 2: Down, except for the fact that I don't have the
actual crown in there yet. Because I said so, I said, okay,
so we're good. She was like no, She's like, we
now have to make the tooth. I'm like, okay, well
what happened till last time? Couldn't we have gotten the
imprint last time? She's like, well, I didn't have time
last time. Can't I'm like, so, how many fucking.
Speaker 1: Visits is this?
Speaker 2: So she's like, we have to make the tooth, and
then it takes like a week and a half for
us to get it in. Then I put the tooth.
Then I put that in there, and then I'm of course,
you know me. I'm like, is that gonna hurt?
Speaker 1: She goes, don't you remember from last time?
Speaker 2: I said no, because last time I had an implant,
I had a thing, and you just screwed the tooth
in there and then we were good to go. She goes, yeah,
it's it's basically like that. Anyway, Let's talk about something
a lot more pleasant, which is thrive. Thrive cause medics.
Cause is in the name, m hm. Whether you like
fresh face, full glam, somewhere in between, you know, you've
seen Thrive Cosmetics viral tubing scara. We love the two

lot of different look.

Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, so now I have it. I have to
go back again next week, yes, to get to finish
it up, like the day after I take LB to school. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just don't like it when I have to go
back to the dentist three oh and by the way,
so she takes out, you know, she's files down my
tooth and she's like, oh, you have a.
Speaker 1: Cavity in the next tooth. Oh.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm always thinking that they're just trying
to like upsell you exactly, like while they're here, do
you want to spend another like few hundred dollars cash?
But but I was like, oh, oh do I She's like, yeah,
you do. Here's the mirror. And then I look and
it's like my fucking tooth is rotting out. The next
next door tooth.
Speaker 1: Is like bad.
Speaker 2: She goes yeah see and I was like, so I do,
so I do so now what So then I was like,
when go back while I'm numb.
Speaker 1: Do you want to just do that one?
Speaker 2: She goes, Oh, no, I don't have time, but we
can do that like when you come back.
Speaker 1: Oh good, all right, I know, very dubious.
Speaker 2: So I don't have dental insurance, is the thing. Right,
I'm going to tell you why. As I said earlier
in the show, I already paid twenty three hundred dollars
a month for insurance. Do you know how much dental
insurance is?
Speaker 1: It's expensive.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, it is. It's so much money. And like, yes,
in retrospect, should I have gotten dental insurance? Sure, but
I didn't know I was going to be having all
these dental issues. No one else in my family, is right,
it's just me. Every time I go in there, surprise
for more of your teeth.
Speaker 1: Are cracked like you know, well, yeah you did have
that cracked tooth problem because you were grinding your teeth. Yes,
there was that.
Speaker 2: So I wear I wear I do wear my mouthguard
like every single night.
Speaker 1: Good. That's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, come to find out, you know, you find out
these things about people you care about. Uh, apparently my
brother is on a sea pop machine.
Speaker 1: Oh really?
Speaker 2: My sister in law says, it's very obnoxious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I hear. I saw Ja Joe Cole
I do a bit about it. Oh yeah, he he's
like he because he he uses it, and he's like,
I have no shame using it. You know, it saved
my life, you know, and that he just I can't,
I can't do it justice. But he talks about it
in his act. You know that that basically you're you're
snoring and then it just goes and then you stop
and then like you know, and uh, it can be
obnoxious for the person you're living with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, but then when they have the machine
on them, apparently it's I guess. My sister in law
says that my brother you know, wears the whole mask
and the whole thing, but that sometimes it falls off,
so then it's just like, I don't know, making some
kind of noise, So she has to wake them up
and go put your mask back on.
Speaker 1: So when it's on, it's quiet, I guess. And it
seems another thing that should have come a long way
by now too, Like what is what the whole apparatus
thing that people have to sleep with? You would think
that they would develop something smaller and a little more
you know, compact or something low profile, Yeah, low profile. Yeah,
it's uh.
Speaker 2: Also seems hard to sleep with like a whole mask on,
and my brothers says, it's really hard, Like what if
you can fall asleep, it's fine, but it's hard to
fall asleep. You have to be like laying on your
back and you got this thing on your face, Like
that's horrible.
Speaker 1: I know. Is it because he has a like a
deviated septum or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know, he just has some sleep apnea, I guess, right, wow,
I mean John, I think sometimes I used to notice
he would snore a little bit and then have that
like yeah, and then breathe, But not so much anymore.
I don't know.
Speaker 1: Natalia had it when she was little, at age five.
She you know, was right before her tonsils and her
adenoids that came out. But I would videotapeer sleeping and
it was awful. She seemed like she was struggling to
breathe when she would sleeping. Oh wow, Yeah, it was awful.
But after she had him taken out and her voice
changed too, like her voice was like, you know, like
can we got any movies? You know?
Speaker 2: Then after was she sounding much better interesting. Yeah, but
Sunny didn't need his taken out.
Speaker 1: No, they tested him for sleep apnea because of his
sleep issues. He doesn't have it. But and then this
week I'm going to get my consultation. We're all getting
old for my colon ascopy. Okay, that doctor knock around
told me to go to.
Speaker 2: Did he tell you to go to this doctor? It
starts with a W. I don't want to. I don't
want to call him out. The one doctor that he
recommends everybody go to I did not like. And I
found a different one.
Speaker 1: Right, I know, I remember now this guy starts with
a N.
Speaker 2: Okay, and yeah, I like one that starts with a T. Yeah,
you found the guy you like?
Speaker 1: Right? Well, no, I.
Speaker 2: Went okay, So just to remind you, i'd gone to
for the consults, and my guy, the one that he
recommended was like shirt unbuttoned down the chest like the
hairy chest was. I said, like, I don't want to
say it was inappropriate. But he was the one that
was like, yeah, you know you could, you could do
the anesthesia. You could not, like, it's up to you.
And I'm like, well, what do you mean it's up
to me? The first he was like I'm not the doctor, the.
Speaker 1: Feeling you tell me what to do, and he was
all anascopy, doctor budd. He's also got like a used
car sales line.
Speaker 2: He had a total used car salesman vibe. And then
he was like, you know, you're pretty thin, so like
I like my patients that are on the He was
kind of paying me like a weird compliment, which normally
calling me thin would be a huge but not when
you're like a kind of old.
Speaker 1: Guy that's like he's going to be up your button.
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't need the butt doctor complimenting
me on my physique, right you. So then I didn't.
I didn't go through with it. Went back to doctor
knock around and I was like and then he was like,
did you ever have your colonoscopy? And I said, ah,
I got like weird vibes off your guy, and he goes, okay,
try this guy. Doctor's name was Trevetti, and uh, I
was like, okay, thank you. Went to that guy and
he was like super nice, very professional.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, when he gave me this doctor's name,
he said, I'm going to write down you know, he talked,
I'm gonna write down the name of a doctor that
you're gonna really be You're gonna thank me for sending
you to him. And I was like, you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Really have that much interaction, right, you shouldn't really be
thinking the person, you know what I mean? Yes, you
should be unconscious. That's what I would prefer, right.
Speaker 1: Well, that's I think. Don't they always put the people
out now for go and ask bees.
Speaker 2: No, they make you pay extra.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, go all the way out, that's right.
Speaker 2: And I you know the part that I want to
be asleep for when they lift up your your down
to like even look at your ass, like, do not
look at it straight on? Like put me out first,
leave me alone until I am unconscious, then turn me
on my side. I don't want anything near. I don't
want you looking. I don't want to be aware that
anything's even gonna happen that's going on with my butt
until I'm asleep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then you guys can make all the jokes you want.
Speaker 2: I told them, I said, can you put me out
now before you lift up my thing? And they're like
all right, and they did, thank.
Speaker 1: You, Yeah that's what you want. Yes, all right, Well,
I'm just having the consultation this week, so then we'll
see when the real appointment comes.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't wait. I can't wait for
you to for you to have this colonoscopy.
Speaker 1: It's really not that bad to me. The worst part
was being starving. Yeh see, I'm not looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: But I had a little breakfast the morning of you did.
I did because he told me that I could have
like some toast that morning. Because I told him, I
was like, my big my main concern is I don't
think I can function from more. I won't be able
to sleep at night. And he's like, yeah, you can
have a little bite in the morning, just do it early.
Speaker 1: So I had.
Speaker 2: I had some egg whites and a little toast oh
okay in the morning, and then started on like the
clear broths.
Speaker 1: But I was, okay, that's nice. Yeah. Usually they're like
no drinks or anything food after midnight.
Speaker 2: Oh they try to they try to start that shit
on you the day before.
Speaker 1: Well, right, isn't. But then one of the things I
don't I'm not looking forward to is all the liquid
shit you gotta drink. Yeah, it's and and it does
taste pretty gross. Yeah. Yeah, looking forward to that. It's
that part is.
Speaker 2: Not that great, but the actual colonoscopy is fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I felt fine right afterward, woke up, was like, oh yeah,
