friends and a kitty cat staying in our house.

40
00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:18,759
Speaker 1: I mean, so you're getting some like a dry run

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,039
with a kitty cat. Right, how's it going. It's going good.

42
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:22,840
I mean it's fine.

43
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: I don't really see the cat. It's and it's it's

44
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,520

50
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:43,879

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,879
they go watch a movie. I'm like, I'm going to

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,639
bed nice and early tonight and get a good night's sleep.

53
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:51,719
Of course, I don't fall asleep until like close to one,

54
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,400
and then four o'clock I'm sound asleep. I hear, that's

55
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:04,000
what I hear. Sure, sure, Uh oh smoke alarm. Oh no,

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,879
Now I'm in this house. We've only been in this

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,280
house for you know, since May. So it's a rental.

58
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:15,319
I know that there's smoke alarms in every room, but uh,

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840
you know, at the other every house I've lived in,

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,199
I've known if it was a hardwired smoke alarm or

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,840
if it was a battery one right, right, And for

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,159
some reason, I was always the one in the middle

63
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:30,000
of the night getting the ladder out and trying to

64
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:32,120
get the thing down because the thing would go off

65
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:32,840
in the middle of the night.

66
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: For some reason, for some reason, and you know.

67
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: My ex would just have his earbuds in and sleep

68
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:41,599
through the thing, and I had to go and you know,

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,439
and then eventually, you know, I would take the thing

70
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:46,879
off or it was hired hardwired, and I wouldn't know

71
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,240
what to do with it. And then he would get

72
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,919
up and he'd smash it with something, or I'd get

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,520
the battery and change about no matter, would you know.

74
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:56,159
This is over a course of twenty years, right right,

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,919
So that's how I dealt with fire for for smoke alarm,

76
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:01,199
for smoke detectors.

77
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, I.

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,199
Speaker 3: Hear the chirping going and I look up, I see it.

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,199
It's right above my bed. It's like is it because

80
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,599
then you don't know is it in your room?

81
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,719
Speaker 1: Is it in the hall. It's so loud sometimes that.

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: If it's in the hall, it sounds like it's in

83
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,800
your bedroom, right, right, So it's chirping like every sixty

84
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:22,040
seconds something like that.

85
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: I know.

86
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: Then it stops and I'm like, okay, maybe these are

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,639
a new kind of smoke detectors where just kind of

88
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,240
alert you for like, you know a little bit, and

89
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:34,319
then it goes away for a couple hours. And then

90
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:38,000
it comes back again and goes mn chirp, don't forget

91
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,759
change the battery. Like I'm thinking it's something like it's.

92
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:44,079
Speaker 1: A nice Smoke detectors would not be nice. Why do

93
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:44,839
they have to do that?

94
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: Yes, And I don't understand why do smoke detectors go

95
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,639
off in the middle in the early hours of the

96
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,839
morning or the middle of the night. I have never

97
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:58,279
had a smoke detector go off just in the middle

98
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,360
of the day, all of a sudden. It's all been

99
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:01,600
while you're sound asleep.

100
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Have you ever Do you think that's smoke detectors?

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: Now?

102
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:08,319
Speaker 1: I think, Do you think they hate you? I think so.

103
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: I used to think that this person I was married

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,279
to was cursed and it was just, you know, a curse,

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,519
a curse, you know, But I guess not.

106
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,319
Speaker 1: Smoke detector curse. I'm lot of that. Yeah. Well, it's

107
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,800
followed you from house to house, so it's probably you. Yes.

108
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: So so now I'm thinking, okay, okay, everybody else in

109
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:37,079
the house is asleep. I'm wide awake Phil, me and Phil,

110
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,480
and I'm.

111
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,639
Speaker 1: Like, what should I do?

112
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,639
Speaker 3: I just go back to sleep and just deal with

113
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,079
it when I get up later, or do I get

114
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,079
up right now and try to figure so I google

115
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,759
what does it look like if it's because if it's hardwired,

116
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,160
I don't I don't know what you know. I know

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240
how to change the battery, but if it's hardwired, I

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,680
don't want to fuck it up because before in the past,

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040
you know, Adam would rip the thing and then the

120
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:04,879
wires would be hanging and then we have to call

121
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,240
an electrician and I don't want to do that. It's

122
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,839
a rental, so I'm trying to anyway, I'm googling what

123
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:11,439
does it look like if it's hard wired, What does

124
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,720
it look like if it's a battery? Then I go

125
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,279
get the little step ladder that's only got two steps,

126
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:17,759
which is not high enough.

127
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,519
Speaker 1: I go into the garage.

128
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: I go and get the big long ladder. It's six

129
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,639
the six foot ladder. Bring it into my room four

130
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,879
point thirty in the more, trying to be quiet because

131
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,199
all the kids are sleeping. Get into my room and

132
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:34,600
do the ladder. You know that the one that's going

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,560
off is in your bad definitely is in my room,

134
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:38,839
because I as soon as I.

135
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:41,079
Speaker 1: Walked in the kitchense do you know that? Because have

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,800
you had the thing happen where it's coming from somewhere

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,480
in the house, but your ear gets all fucked up,

138
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,639
so you're like, yeah, I don't know, like I'm trying

139
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,879
to listen. I go stand underneath every smoke detector in

140
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,000
the house to go, is that the one that's chirping right?

141
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,199
Then it doesn't chirp, and then to use it. As

142
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,759
soon as you go back to your room, at chirps

143
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,439
again and you're like fuck yes. Then you run from

144
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,519
room to room just going okay, I'm gonna just stand

145
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,639
here until I hear a chirping noise and then you're like, no,

146
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,480
it's the other room. Then you go to the other

147
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,079
room and it tricks you, and I know it's the bathroom, right,

148
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,920
and also the other.

149
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,959
Speaker 3: Well yes, yes, because yes, because I walked out of

150
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,160
my bedroom, I closed the door, and it's you know,

151
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:24,879
contained in my room. But the other the other fucked

152
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,279
up thing is in the past, it's always been on

153
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:31,279
high vault you know, high vault ceilings and you can't

154
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,360
reach it, you know, like that kind of stuff, or

155
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,040
you know, just been just been way out of reach.

156
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,439
At least these ceilings are not that high. So I

157
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,600
got the ladder I get a button of the ladder

158
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,199
and it's chirping and I I look at it and

159
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:51,959
I like, unscrew it. And then I see like a button.

160
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,120
Of course I can't see. I'm blind. I don't know

161
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,079
if it's a so I think it's a reset button.

162
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,040
Maybe if I hit reset it'll stop.

163
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, it was a test button. It was a

164
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,759
test button. Alarm.

165
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: The fire alarm goes out throughout the whole house. Oh no, yes, yes,

166
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,800
And immediately the phone rings.

167
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: It's Sonny.

168
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: He's like, what the hell is that?

169
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,319
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

170
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, go back to sleep. Then then I go

171
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,839
in the garage. I walk out in Italia's like getting

172
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:19,319
a glass of wash. She doesn't even say a word,

173
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:20,360
she just gets a glass of wire.

174
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:20,519
Speaker 1: I go.

175
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,879
Speaker 3: She sees the ladder and I'm like, sorry, go back

176
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:28,160
to sleep. She's like, m goes back to sleep. So

177
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,439
so I, yes, it was the test but it stopped.

178
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:36,080
And then I unplugged it. It's still chirping in my hand.

179
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,159
I take it to the fucking garage, leave it in

180
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,080
the garage, goodbye, go back to sleep. Okay, But then

181
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,360
I didn't go back to sleep. Then I do this

182
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:46,240
thing where you're trying to go back to sleep now

183
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:47,960
because we got to do the podcast. I'm trying to

184
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,519
fall back, trying to get another couple hours, go back

185
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,679
to sleep. Finally fall asleep. I don't know what time.

186
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:56,240
But then you know that second sleep where you wake

187
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480
up and then you go back to sleep and then

188
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,679
it's harder to get up the second Yes, yeah, that's kept.

189
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:06,360
So the alarm kept going and I'm like, snooze, snooze, snooze.

190
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,399
Next thing I know, it's like, holy shit, I got

191
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,279
to be there in ten minutes. Oh no, yeah, that

192
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,960
was my that was my morning.

193
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, you want me to take

194
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:17,879
a little break.

195
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: I'll tell you though, that my smoke detector in my

196
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:24,600
house is right by the fucking kitchen, so like the

197
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:30,840
thing is constantly going off from all the smoke. Yeah. So, yes,

198
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,840
I've been making steaks a lot. Last year I got

199
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:35,759
really good at making steaks. So my processes I have to,

200
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:38,879
you know, go get to step ladder, put it out,

201
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,240
unscrew the thing, hide it in a back room, cook,

202
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,480
come back out, put it up, screw it back in.

203
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,679
So I'm constantly doing that over and over again.

204
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:50,279
Speaker 3: So yours is hardwired. Yes, oh no, it's got a

205
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:50,960
bat let's.

206
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,799
Speaker 2: I think it must have a battery because I screw

207
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:54,799
it out and I put it in another room, right,

208
00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:55,639
So yeah, so.

209
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: It must be that's so funny. Yeah, smoke alarms go

210
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:04,799
off kitchen too. Sometimes the technology would be better. You

211
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,879
would think something and they got to figure it out.

212
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,720
Like just do a chirp, chirp chirp for like an

213
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:11,759
hour and then give the person a chance to get

214
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,080
a ladder, to wake up, to have fucking coffee, take

215
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,039
a walk, get some fresh air, do something.

216
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: Relax a little bit, get up, cite themselves up, figure

217
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:22,799
out where it's coming from.

218
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:27,159
Speaker 3: Yes, come on, it's a whole, it's a it is asha.

00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,200
for the kids to open, but I kept most of

252
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,919
their gifts at home to open at home, So just

253
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:13,399
little things for them and then Wendy got like two stockings,

254
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,080
so we went out and stuffed the stockings for them,

255
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:19,039
which Sunny didn't even know we had a stocking until

256
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:22,200
the day before we left. Oh No, stocking was still

257
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,720
sitting there and I was like, by the way, Sunny,

258
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:26,399
did you even go through your stocking? And he goes,

259
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,639

260
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Anyway? God, what kind of stuff did you find for it? Well?

261
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: Not?

262
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean when I was in.

263
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: Chicago, usually I like go to the Manget like nice,

264
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,440
but you know, I was in Chicago's the night it

265
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:43,159
was Christmas eve Day, you know, got him like shaving cream,

266
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,480
you know, went to Walgreens, right, you know whatever, So

267
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,600
I got them each ook like a couple gifts just

268
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,840
to open. But we did this white elephant. Okay, I

269
00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:01,759
love a white elephant, yes, but okay, so I've never

270
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,080
really I've only done it once with like coworkers, so

271
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,559
I've never done a family white elephant thing. So I

272
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:11,320
kinda get how it works, you know, And Wendy's never

273
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,639
done it really either. But you know, one of the

274
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:17,440
like Nicholas's wife, suggested we do it because we I

275
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,159
would buy for my nephews and their wives and their kids,

276
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,120
and all my nieces and nephews, and my nieces and

277
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,440
nephews are over the age of twenty five at this point, right, right,

278
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:31,799
So and my kids are eighteen so and there's little

279
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,960
kids in the family. So we said, let's just buy

280
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:36,080
for the little kids, and let's just all of us

281
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:39,159
do White Elephant, like there's only eight of us or whatever.

282
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: So we perfect, okay, perfect. I was like, yeah, this

283
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,679
will be fun. I was looking forward to what was

284
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,320
the price limit?

285
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:48,799
Speaker 3: So she sent the nick's wife, Andrea set the price

286
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,759
limit to like seventy five to one hundred.

287
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:53,399
Speaker 1: That's so funny, I was thinking. Yeah. I was like,

288
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:56,559
I was like, probably one hundred dollars. Yeah, since it's

289
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:57,440
just for the adults.

290
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,639
Speaker 3: Since it's just for the adults, right, and Sunny in

291
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,879
a TI, which they're adults, so okay, so it's like great.

292
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,919
So then I was like, well, I also have to

293
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,840
get Sonny and Italian to bring a gift too, so

294
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,799
I gotta buy three White Elephant gifts. So I put

295
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,799
a lot of thought into it because it's a mixed crowd.

296
00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,960
There's you know, Samantha and Andrea, the wives that are

297
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,159
I could easily buy like lip gloss for it. They'd

298
00:14:21,159 --> 00:14:23,480
be happy with the eyelash what you know, what I

299
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:26,879
mean facial cleanser that they're happy with that shit. But

300
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,240
then there's the dudes Anthony and Nicholas that like to

301
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,600
tinker in the garage and you know, and then then

302
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,679
there's Sonny in Italia that are you know, living the

303
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:35,759
dorm life. So I'm trying to think of Okay, so

304
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,639
I get like, I get like Wendy tells me about

305
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:44,080
these pillowcases silk called bliss Blissy on Amazon. I heard, yeah,

306
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,720
they're like so I got one of those that was

307
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,440
fifty five dollars for the silk pillowcase.

308
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,399
Speaker 1: They get one of those.

309
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: I get, uh, I get what is it?

310
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: Oh?

311
00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: I got this projector thing for for dorm, you know,

312
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,879
like something that the kids like you could put like

313
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,960
like you're on Mars or like at the Galaxy. It's

314
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:10,320
just like the whole room lights up. So I got

315
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,879
that thinking maybe like Sunny or his cousin Matthew might

316
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
like that. He's a younger dude. Whatever I get, and

317
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,519
then I get uh, and then I get oh, I

318
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,120
get like keels like facial you know, wash and perfect, right, Okay,

319
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,720
So I get three nice put thought into it and

320
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:30,120
get those things. So we do the white elephant. We

321
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:33,360
pick our numbers out of the hat. I'm number four.

322
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,320
So people are opening their gifts. They're getting pretty good gifts,

323
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,039
you know, fun things. I open my gift. I got

324
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,600
a utility flashlight to Keiths to keep in your car.

325
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, now is there stealing and trading?

326
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: There is trading, okay, but I'm like.

327
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,799
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody want to steal your flashlight?

328
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,159
Speaker 2: No?

329
00:15:58,519 --> 00:15:58,679
Speaker 1: Oh?

330
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: You know what else I got? I got a cooling

331
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:05,320

332
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720
cools your like does a thing for your eyes. I

333
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,840
got that as well. I got so I got the

334
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:12,519
pillowcase was an extra just in case. I don't know,

335
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:14,879
I just kind of got it maybe for me or

336
00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:17,519
something or I you know, just because it was it

337
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:20,000
was cheaper than the price point. So then I also

338
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,120
got the mask whatever.

339
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:21,600

00:16:24,759 --> 00:16:25,480
to keep in your car.

342
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I don't think a utility flashlight is

343
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,159
in the seventy five to one hundred dollars. Rang No

344
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,200

Speaker 3: Right, That's what I took home. And because I didn't steal,

349
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,879
because Natalia got what she wanted, Sonny got what he wanted,

350
00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:54,559
my nephews and nieces got what they wanted. Wendy really

351
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:57,279
liked that face mask, and she's like, if anybody fucking

352
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,600

353
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:02,879
done for breakfast and dinner, and like cause she's you know,

354
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,359
putting all right, right, She's like, I'll fucking kill you, guys.

355
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: That's just the spirit of Christmas, right, I know, I

356
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,000
know nobody was going to touch that.

357
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so uh yeah, that's what I got.

00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Wow. And next year.

360
00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:21,759
my niece and my nephew screaming at each other because

361
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:22,240
of the rules.

362
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. They were like talking about.

363
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:25,880

365
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,000
two of them just stayed there screaming at each other

366
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:33,160
all the rest of us just went to go eat

367
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,440
our bagels and cream cheese.

368
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wait, so you did it in the morning. Yeah,

369
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,279
we did.

370
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 3: So we did Christmas Eve at Bob Chin's Okay food restaurant, right,

371
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,839
which is which we took.

372
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: We talked on the phone this week. Yeah. Which I

373
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,359
was remembering was when Wendy got food poisoning last year Christmas. Yeah,

374
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,559
and then was out of commission and you had to

375
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:55,119
do everything.

376
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 3: Yes, and so we did because it's an Italian tradition

377
00:17:58,839 --> 00:18:01,279
for the seafood whatever, and they that's what they like

378
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,079
to do every year. This year, Whendy's like, I'm not

379
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:06,880

380
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: I ate it.

381
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,079
Speaker 3: It was delicious.

382
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: So we did that. Crazy because I was telling you

383
00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:14,400

444
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,519
a little white elephant story too, yeah, which is that

445
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,599
I love a white elephant party and we do it

446
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,960
at a Hanukkah. We have like a Honkah party at

447
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:31,599
a friend of mine's house and it's a bunch of us.

448
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,880
There were like thirty five people there for this little party,

449
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:41,000
and so I bought I bought some good good a

450
00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:44,119
couple of fun press So our limit it's like fifteen dollars,

451
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,319
fifteen to twenty dollars. So I found this thing called

452
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:49,799
it was just a funny white elephant gift that was

453
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,319
called hander pants, which are basically underpants for your hands,

454
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,799
and they're and they're like fingerless gloves basically, but they

455
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,720
look like underwear, which I thought would get a good laugh,

456
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,960
and it has funny like uses for it. It's like

457
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,039
for the elderly, for blogging for I don't know, it's

458
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,880
like it's like funny casey. It's like something from like

459
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,119
Mad magazine, you know. So I got that. But then

460
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:22,759
I also got a microwave popcorn popper. It's hard to explain,

461
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,039
but it's like you put it in the microwave and yeah,

462
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,599
it was like a good gift. I spent horror like

463
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:30,119
I you know, a couple of them. I spent a little.

464
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,200
They were all in the range, but they were like

465
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:35,880
I got like some fun stuff. I got a thing

466
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,240
for like a movie night, which is like a it

467
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,519
looks like a movie theater popcorn tin. It says like

468
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,559
like it's the movies, and then it's full of like

469
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,920
red vines and like movie snacks and like, yeah, so

470
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,680
there are some good stuff in there. Did you dive

471
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,240
into the candy? I didn't. So this was for for

472
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:59,119
to wrap the big exchange. So my number was kind

473
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,400
of early, which many people. There were like thirty five

474
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,799
people there. Wow.

475
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that kind of white elephant. I think it's fun.

476
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: It's super fun.

477
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: That's fun.

478
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: Except the problem is that the thing that I opened

479
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:21,039
was Yiddish refrigerator magnets. So I got like the bump

480
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,279
that did you get it? I got it. I'm happy

481
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,240
to bring it to you. So it's like, you know,

482
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,400
the saying poem, like you know how you make like

483
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,599
poetry on your refrigerator with me little magnetic words, but

484
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,039
it's all Yiddish words of that, so I get It's

485
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,720
basically like kind of a joke present, right. So then

486
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:43,599
the whole time, every time somebody was gonna like steal

487
00:23:43,839 --> 00:23:46,440
or get a new gift, I was like, these are

488
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:49,880
still these, nobody stolen, these, these are up for grabs.

489
00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:52,200
And then I just kept doing it until it got obnoxious,

490
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:55,160
which was probably fast, but I just kept doing it.

491
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:57,039
The whole time. I was like, don't sleep on the

492
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,039
Yiddish refrigerator magnets. Come on, nobody have not been stolen.

493
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:03,680
It's okay. You can take them if you want them,

494
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:06,880
you know, And every it became funny where people would

495
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,160
just be like I don't want the refrigeraid, no, thank

496
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,720
you on the refrigerid and magnets, and to be like, okay,

497
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,519
if you change your mind, they're right here right. Look,

498
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:18,559
so it was kind of you got stuck with them.

499
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,400
I got stuck with them. Nobody stole them. I never

500
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,200
had any Listen, I feel like I was the one

501
00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:27,279
the most excited about this white elephant thing, and I

502
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,920
got screwed the worst, that's what. Yeah, yeah it hurts me.

503
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:34,319
I shopped. I spent so much time and energy shopping

504
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,160
for like the perfect white elephant, something to make you laugh,

505
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,079
something that's really useful, something that will get stolen absolutely,

506
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,440
and what happened. Yeah, I get screwed. You got the screwed,

507
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:49,039
totally screwed. It sucks. There was this funny there was

508
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,480
like this ugly Honka sweater that people were stealing like crazy.

509
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,079
Everybody want for some reason. The person that opened it

510
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:00,599
was like okay, but then everybody was trying to steal it.

511
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:03,480
So things can only get stolen three times, yeah, and

512
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:07,359
then that then it's locked. Okay. So the things that

513
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,480
were good, we're just getting like gift cards, right, yes,

514
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,119
Target twenty dollars gift card, and then that would get

515
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,039
stolen three times and then locked and then but it

516
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,359
was a really fun night.

517
00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was See, that's the thing it's it's

518
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:22,759
for fun. Next year, we're going to do a Secret Santa.

519
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna do.

520
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,279
Speaker 3: That's a better idea, yes, for the because then you're

521
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:30,599
focusing on one person and writing. Now it's like, and

522
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,960
you know, we can call I know that there's an

523
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,640
app to do it.

524
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: Did you know that?

525
00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: Like that, you can do an app that'll do the

526
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:37,480
Secret Santa thing for you.

527
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: We do it on the Do you know that the

528
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,359
real end page has a Secret Santa? Yeah? I know

529
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,200
they do it every year, so yeah, they do it.

530
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:46,680
They do it, randomize it that way. That's cute.

531
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, like one of us, you know, maybe me or

532
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:52,759
Auntie Wynn, you will just I think we'll FaceTime. We'll

533
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:56,400
put everybody's name in a hat FaceTime, everybody pull their

534
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,279
name up. They can see who they get and then

535
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,680
tear it up and have a good day, right and

536
00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:05,039
then yeah, so I don't see who they got and

537
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:06,079
that's it.

538
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:09,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's a great idea. Yeah, you know,

539
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:12,599
and then you can have wishless like people can go

540
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,279
around each other's wishless and see what you want. Yeah,

541
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,839
or you could just surprise them. I don't know. Yeah,

542
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:20,839
do you have any Caitlin, do you have any White

543
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,319
Elephant experience to weigh in?

544
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,519
Speaker 2: Then, yeah, we did one this year. Actually, oh, there's

545
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,200
probably I don't know about twenty people in the maybe

546
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,240
a little I think about twenty people in the White Elephant.

547
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,240
And I picked out mine, which was a It was

548
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:43,640
a Lego set of plants, right, which normally I was like, okay,

549
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,279
well I can like build that with the girls, but

550
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,400
it was it related to a bit that we've done

551
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,480
on the water Cooler. Okay, Matt Fondelier built this like

552
00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:53,359
Lego plant one time and we all acted like we

553
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,880
weren't interested, and after it turned out kind of sad.

554
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,559
So I opened it and I saw this Lego plant

555
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000
set and my mind immediately went to, Okay, we're gonna

556
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:02,640
do a bit on water cool and nobody else is

557
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,079
gonna want this. And I turned to Chris, and Chris

558
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,759
and I just like made eyes. We were like, yeah,

559
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,200
we both know exactly what we're gonna do with this.

560
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,000
So I spent the entire time happy with my Lego

561
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,440
plant set that nobody else wants. I even had the

562
00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:18,720
chance to steal, and I was like, and there was

563
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:21,119
a really cool, like video game thing that someone got

564
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,359
and I was like, no, I'm gonna keep my lego

565
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,039
plant set. And then the fucking last person came and

566
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,319
stole my lego plants set. O wow, and I was

567
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,359
so bummed about it. And I ended up getting a

568
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,880
Bluetooth speaker that we already have.

569
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: Ah. Oh damn, it sucks.

570
00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 3: That sucks. See, I don't know about this white elfant racket.

571
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,559
Speaker 1: It's fun if it's just an extra thing, like yeah,

572
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:51,000
this was just at a silly party where it was

573
00:27:51,079 --> 00:27:53,400
something to do and I look forward to it because

574
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,079
it's stupid. Yeah. I wasn't that mad about the magnets,

575
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,079
but it was the idea that like I didn't get

576
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,640
to participate right off the bat. I was like, I

577
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:06,359
picked like sixth you know. So it's like, well so

578
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,359
now I've picked, and I know for a fact no

579
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,680
one's going to steal it. So now I watch everybody

580
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,160
have a good.

581
00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: Time exactly, you know, right yeah.

582
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:21,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now so Christmas morning, so I got okay, I

583
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,680
wanted to bring this up and then I don't really

584
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,960
want to hear about Kalin's Christmas, which I think is

585
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:28,680
more important because he has young kids and I feel

586
00:28:28,759 --> 00:28:31,079
like that's where the magic is it is it has

587
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,039
changed so much, and you and I have been recording

588
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,000
for so long that, of course we've been recording since

589
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:41,480
our kids were little kids, and it was super magical

590
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:44,839
and you could surprise them stuff and they all believed.

591
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:49,279
And you know, so spoiler alert, you know, hopefully your

592
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:51,640
kids aren't in the car, but believed in the magic

593
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,480
of Christmas. Of course, Sanna's real. We all know that.

594
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,319
But the thing is, everything's different now because we don't

595
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,000
do like Elf on the shelf, even though you complained endlessly,

596
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,960
oh you still do it.

597
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: I found her, I found her in the box we ours.

598
00:29:07,759 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: Is still exists, but it just stays in one place.

599
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:10,720
No I move it.

600
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: I mean I don't do it every night, like when

601
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,440
they go to bed, but like if I'm walking past it,

602
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,920
I haven't moved this one in a couple of days.

603
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,839
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. You don't. It's not like the

604
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,319
tooth Fairy where you're like, oh no, I haven't moved

605
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:22,960
it anymore.

606
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:23,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no.

607
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: And we also have a snoop on a stoop, so

608
00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:29,680
we have we keep we put our snoop out and

609
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:30,400
we put our.

610
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,799
Speaker 3: Elf Elfie cute, yeah, Elfie ulpha bah.

611
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:37,319
Speaker 1: Whatever we call it now. But it's just different, you know,

612
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,119
it's just different. We don't have to do any of

613
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,440
the stuff. And there's no we don't track Sanna on

614
00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,000
the nor on the what do you call it, the

615
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:48,480
Nordic the app? The app, the it starts with an N.

616
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,319
There's a north yeah, the North Pole app. I don't know.

617
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:53,559
Yeah where you look at it online and you could

618
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:55,720
see where Santa is and like, so we don't do

619
00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:59,920
any of that stuff. Now. There's good and bad. Okay,

620
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,839
I'm gonna look on the bright side, Kaylin. There's a

621
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,559
bright side to when your kids get older, which is

622
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,880
that it's more family time and the kids are more

623
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:12,599
into the tradition of it and they like to Like

624
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,160
we went to candy King Lane the night before, except

625
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,640
for it sucks now, so we just complained about it

626
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,559
the whole time because people don't they don't decorate their

627
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:27,519
houses anymore. Really, Yeah, we were like, honestly, our neighborhood

628
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:30,799
at this point is better for lights than candy King Lane. Wow.

629
00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:33,839
It's just like there's just people trying to hawk their

630
00:30:34,279 --> 00:30:38,839
you know, their stupid souvenir things on the side of

631
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,480
the road. It's just like constantly people going do I

632
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,640
buy this, I don't know what, like you know, a

633
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,440
little laser point that they make. No, it's like it's

634
00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:53,759
like that cheap like little lights, like light up things,

635
00:30:54,079 --> 00:30:56,359
you know that they everybody's like, hey, you know, I

636
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,319
don't know. It's just like the weird tourist thing and

637
00:30:58,680 --> 00:30:59,960
the house half the houses are dark.

638
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:01,559
Speaker 3: Oh, that's that's sad.

639
00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:04,559
Speaker 1: It used to be so I think it back in

640
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,000
the day, and you lived out that way when you

641
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,279
were young, Yeah, used to go there all the time. Yeah,

642
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,480
I think that literally people had to sign contracts they

643
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:17,200
think such of that neighborhood. They would like decorate your

644
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,279
house right, and part of that.

645
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: Because I lived right really, I grew up really close

646
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,680
to it. Yeah, we used to go all the time

647
00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:26,160
and used to you know, get your hot chocolate and

648
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,160
go yeaheah.

649
00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: We used to do that too. We would all pile

650
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:32,519
in the minivan when we had a minivan. The kids

651
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:34,480
were really young, so they would be in their like

652
00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:38,599
sleeper pajamas and we would we would let them like

653
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,839
open the sun roof and like put their heads out.

654
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,240
They would take turns looking and like, I mean that

655
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,319
just ended a few years ago. My kids are seventeen yeah,

656
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:53,279
and at these twenty right, but it still was really fun.

657
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:57,240
Here's the thing, though, I still put so much pressure

658
00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:00,079
on myself to make sure that everything is even, and

659
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,880
I keep I track it on like a document that

660
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,079
I call taxes on my computer. So no real snoop.

661
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,480
I do the whole thing.

662
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: I go.

663
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,359
Speaker 1: I make our Amazon account so that you can't see

664
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,000
the browsing history. I blocked the browsing history for like

665
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,359
a week. I archive all the orders so nobody can

666
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,960
see that they're getting anything. But I get so crazy.

667
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:29,039
I'm neurotic, and I get like, oh my gosh, okay,

668
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:31,839
well Sadie's getting this, but then I need what's Elby's.

669
00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:36,079
So then Sadie and Elbe we're both getting the shark

670
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,039
hair tool that I told you about.

671
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,759
Speaker 3: So many I after you told me that I heard

672
00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:43,160
it like twice, and really getting it for their teenage daughters.

673
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, best gift they were. They lost

674
00:32:47,279 --> 00:32:50,759
their minds, they lost their minds. Albie was just like,

675
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:56,640
no way, oh my god, no way, like getting a car, yes,

676
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,920
and she was so excited. And then Sadie was really

677
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,880
excited with hers, and they were both went and did

678
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,599
their hair immediately. But then it's like, okay, but what

679
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,880
do I get Xander? You know? So I got Xander

680
00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:13,839
like an Urban Outfitters gift card plus one hundred dollars

681
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,880
cash that he could use on de pop, you know.

682
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,599
So he was really happy. The kids are really happy,

683
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,119
but it's me. Yeah, it's my problem. I'm like so

684
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:24,920
then by the time they're done, I got them so

685
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:29,079
many gifts that it's like, okay, there's still more because

686
00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:31,920
I also do a bath and body works haul. Oh

687
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,039
you do, because I shop on the day that they're

688
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,640
having the sale and everything's like five dollars, So I

689
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,759
get like a bunch of stuff and then I individually

690
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,880
wrap each thing so that there's just like so but

691
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:46,559
by the time the work, we should be done, right

692
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,920
and it's like nope, still marking more soapy, you know,

693
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,839
and it's like oh hey. And then then I felt

694
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,319
bad because Sadie had already opened everything. Somehow, I think

695
00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:59,519
LB and Xander ended up just getting more stuff than Sadie.

696
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,960
Just however it worked out. I thought I had kept

697
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:06,519
count and maybe she opened stuff in I don't know,

698
00:34:06,759 --> 00:34:09,760
but basically it was like, oh, here's one more for Xander. Oh,

699
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,320
here's another one for LB. And pretty soon Sadie's just

700
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,039
sitting there, you know, Oh another one for Xander, another one.

701
00:34:18,039 --> 00:34:20,679
Speaker 3: He hate when I know, I just I gave up

702
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,320
like this. I think it was maybe even last it

703
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,920
was either last year or this year. I just get

704
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:29,760
because there's also times where you know, there's things like

705
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,239
Natalia I put I you know, bought her something ahead

706
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,920
of time, like paid I don't remember something, and she's like,

707
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,960
it can be part of my Christmas present. Okay, Well,

708
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,760
harken back to a month ago when you asked me

709
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,880
to I don't remember what it was, but that's part

710
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:44,800
of your Christmas present.

711
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,039
Speaker 1: Me then reminding him it seems like not part of

712
00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:50,559
the Christmas Now. I know, Hey, remember that thing I

713
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,480
got you two months ago because you said it could

714
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,800
be part of my Christmas gift? Well consider that just

715
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,519
opened and then. But the problem the thing is is

716
00:35:00,679 --> 00:35:01,760
that I have Sonny.

717
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: So Sonny doesn't really ask for anything or require anything

718
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:08,800
or and he even said he goes, I know Elexander. Yeah,

719
00:35:09,039 --> 00:35:11,360
he's like, I know, I'm hard to buy for same

720
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,800
with Xander, like I got him his rose Bull tickets.

721
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,360
He's going to the rosebul Well that's huge. Yeah, got

722
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,039
him one ticket.

723
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: That's one. So he has to go. Wait, he's he

724
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:21,960
has other.

725
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: Friends got tickets sporadically too, through like the student Oh,

726
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,039
the Oregon Ducks are playing the Rose Bull. Yeah okay,

727
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:30,480
so they're all going together, but their seats are kind

728
00:35:30,519 --> 00:35:31,119
of spread out.

729
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,599
Speaker 1: Pardon the chirping. Yeah. I just turn the heat back

730
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:35,760
and it's like freezing in here.

731
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah it's I got ice box, it is, it's gotten cold.

732
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:42,039
Speaker 1: Yeah. So okay, so he's excited. Yeah he was. He psyched.

733
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, very excited. He's going tomorrow. He's super excited.

734
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: But he already knew he was getting that. Yes, but yeah,

735
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,400
I know what I'm saying is that that something changes.

736
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,679
I was reminding and then I really want to hear

737
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,119
Kaylan's but this is ties in. I was reminding my

738
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,440
kids of when they were little and they were so

739
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,880
easy eat a shop for because they would see a

740
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,800
commercial on TV. This was back when you would watch

741
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,440
Tea the commercials and Nickelodeon and you know, and they

742
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,280
would see something. One of the things that Elbie was

743
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,880
dying for one year was this little fairy that springs

744
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,000
up in the air and like it's called a Torley

745
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,800
fairy thing and it twirls around and then it comes

746
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,199
back down and it was like nine dollars at CBS

747
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,960
and Elbe could not stop talking about this the fairy

748
00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:28,880
and it. You know, so I got her that, and

749
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,519
I'll never forget. I have a picture of her in

750
00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:36,039
her little nightgown from Children's Place losing her shit at

751
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:40,559
getting this fairy like what like, seriously, no different than

752
00:36:40,639 --> 00:36:42,840
she acted with getting the shark hair the dice and

753
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,239
hair wrap to I mean, the same thing, no way,

754
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,039
thank you. And it was like, yeap nine dollars.

755
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 3: That she would take a quick way because I got

756
00:36:54,199 --> 00:37:01,320
a flying object story. Sure, okay, so that reminds me.

757
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,360
So I went on Amazon because I'm flying into Chicago

758
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,159
and I gotta get you know, Anthony's little kid. He's

759
00:37:09,159 --> 00:37:10,719
got a seven year old and a three and a

760
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,519
half year old, and there's on as soon as you

761
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:15,840
open Amazon, like looking for gifts for seven year old.

762
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:18,800
There's these little balls that light up and you just

763
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,280
tak their bad you know, you know what I'm talking about. Okay,

764
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,679
So like they're they're there, you charge them, so they

765
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,320
got battery and then they they kind of just float

766
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,840
and you just play catch with them. They slow. So

767
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,039
I see them and I'm like, this is per because

768
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:35,159
I'm gonna get them a couple other things to each kid.

769
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,360
So I'm like, this is great. So I'll get one

770
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,159
for him, one for hurry, and I'm pink and a

773
00:37:46,039 --> 00:37:49,079
come over after Santa Claus comes and visits them, and

774
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:52,199
they come walking in the house. They're like, Auntie, Lynnette,

775
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:53,880
look what Santa got us?

776
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:56,199
Speaker 1: The floating ball?

777
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 3: And I go, oh, did you both get one? And

778
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:01,480
Anthony goes, yeah, I both got one. I go, well,

779
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:05,199
now they got two each, motherfuckers.

780
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: Oh no.

781
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: It's a hilarious video online of like a bunch of

782
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,760
kids opening that like fairy but it's like a ballerina

783
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,000
on Christmas and it goes up into the air and

784
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:19,480
then lands right into the fire on the.

785
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Well, how was your girls Christmas? It

786
00:38:27,599 --> 00:38:27,960
was great?

787
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:31,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very fun. The night before was that

788
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,960
White Elephant party that I talked about, and yeah, we

789
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:38,760
were tracking Santa on whatever that app is. And at

790
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,519
one point, you know, they were outside and they saw

791
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,280
like a plane way open the air, and so I'm like, look,

792
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,000
there's Santa. And so they lost their minds that they

793
00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,360
saw Santa in the sky. Oh, they were screaming running

794
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,000
around the house. It was very very cute. And then yeah,

795
00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:58,719
Christmas morning, woke up early and they opened do you

796
00:38:58,800 --> 00:38:59,480
do the whole.

797
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: Like make cookie the night before for Santa and put

798
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,360
out like carrots for the reindeer.

799
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 2: They make reindeer food at school. Oh, so they put

800
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,880
that out and then we put out cookies and then

801
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,039
I think that's all that we prep and then they

802
00:39:14,119 --> 00:39:17,880
go to bed and then Amy does this thing where

803
00:39:18,039 --> 00:39:22,440
it's like a snow boot going into the house and

804
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,639
up to the cookies and the things. So they woke

805
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,760
up and they were very excited. Yeah they got they

806
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,280
got lots of lots of presents.

807
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,559
Speaker 1: So what did it? What kinds of stuff did you

808
00:39:32,639 --> 00:39:35,119
get them? Because are you taking advantage of the fact

809
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:36,559
that they're young and easily impressed?

810
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 2: Well, they they wrote a list to Santa, and they

811
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,320
each wrote three things and they were like three random

812
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,119
ass things. But we were like, okay, we'll get you that.

813
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:50,320
So we got them those three things, and then and

814
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,679
then we like, what were they uh it was one

815
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,480
of them was oh they wanted cell phones, Yeah, they

816
00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:01,000
wanted it was the phone. I can't really remember which

817
00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:02,440
one was on the list or which was the one

818
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,239
that we found for them. Yeah, I can't remember like

819
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,599
which was which, but at some point I just had

820
00:40:09,679 --> 00:40:11,800
like Amazon open up and they were like looking at

821
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,119
it and they're like, oh, I'd like that. I like

822
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:15,079
that up that and then I wrote those.

823
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: Down like a toy cell phone.

824
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, And so we ended up getting

825
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:28,519
like Santa got each of them four gifts, four gifts each,

826
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,280
and then two gifts for them to share, and then

827
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,079
Mom and Dad got them one gift. I found this

828
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,800
thing online that looked really cool that was like it's

829
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,760
like a video game console sort of. It's kind of

830
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,079
like a Wei but without the remote, so it uses

831
00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:46,119
your body. Oh so like you know, it has like

832
00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:47,719
fruit and ninja on it and you swipe with your

833
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,679
hands and you can have like four people play games

834
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,679
on it at once.

835
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:55,159
Speaker 1: Cool.

836
00:40:55,199 --> 00:40:57,679
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I that was their big gift for

837
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:02,119
mom and dad, and then they got you know, Christmas

838
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,039
is kind of like with them and they're kind of

839
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:06,440
almost still in the phase of like open it up,

840
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:08,519
next one, open it up, open it up next one,

841
00:41:08,559 --> 00:41:11,079
you know what. So, like, the big hit on Christmas

842
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,079
was the toy cell phones because they like, they have

843
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,320
little games on them. You can take pictures with them,

844
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,960
so they were going around taking photos on their phone.

845
00:41:20,079 --> 00:41:21,800
So that's what they really liked on Christmas.

846
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: I remember those things. I remember getting the kids those

847
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,840
little leap frog I think they were these, I don't know.

848
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,800
It was some little electronic similar that they can play

849
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,199
little games on it that. Yeah, I think it was

850
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:39,199
a similar thing. My kids went crazy for them. Yeah.

851
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 3: I got little walkie talkies for Riley and Leslie.

852
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,199
Speaker 1: Oh that's so cy dude.

853
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like they don't really work that great. You know,

854
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,480
they hear each other, by the way, it's not like

855
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,280
ones in the basement, the other ones on the third floor.

856
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:55,119
Speaker 2: Right, Walkee talkies is like a go to gift and

857
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,760
they never really turn out to be like we've gotten them.

858
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,920
I think walkie talkies like once or twice and they

859
00:42:02,039 --> 00:42:03,559
kind of use him once or twice and then they

860
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:05,679
kind of forget about them and then they end up

861
00:42:05,679 --> 00:42:06,760
in a in a bucket.

862
00:42:06,519 --> 00:42:10,559
Speaker 1: Something you know, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean I got

863
00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:12,800
a lot. I filled their stockings up. I went to

864
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,800
the Diso store, which is, oh yeah, what is that?

865
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,519
It's like a Japanese dollar store basically, now.

866
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 2: What it is?

867
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 3: It just opened in my neighborhood.

868
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. But there's like a lot of

869
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,760
random shit in there. So I got him some like

870
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,320
hair clips and some candy and some like. But you know,

871
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:32,199
it's like it's still even overwhelming, and they don't My

872
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,639
kids don't need all that stuff anymore, you know, at

873
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,400
this age it becomes like clutter, right exactly, like a

874
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,440
bunch of little things they don't have anywhere to put anyway. Yeah,

875
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,079
something that happened to I felt bad for Xander lost

876
00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:51,719
his wallet. Okay, first of all, this kid, he's a sonny.

877
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,360
He's very responsible. He never loses stuff. He's the other

878
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,039
kids have all lost their house key at different stages.

879
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:03,199
He knows where his stuff is, so he for when

880
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,239
he got a new wallet for Christmas. Nice he had

881
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,159
put his gift card, so his Urban Outfitters gift card

882
00:43:10,199 --> 00:43:13,039
in there, his cash that I had given him, and

883
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,519
he got another gift card from Sadie and Elbe got

884
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:22,159
him a gift card together, and then he had his

885
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,280
school id. Anyway, we don't know what happened to his wallet.

886
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,000
He went out with Elbe like a couple of nights ago.

887
00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:33,719
They went to McDonald's and he had a McDonald's gift card,

888
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,800
so he knows he had it when he went. They

889
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,960
didn't go into McDonald's, they were in the drive through.

890
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,400
The wallet's just gone. He came back home and by

891
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,320
the next morning he couldn't find it. We don't know

892
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,599
what happened. I think he probably got out of the

893
00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:49,199
car and it fell out of his pocket, maybe and

894
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,639
somebody picked it up. Nobody. Oh, his bank card was

895
00:43:52,679 --> 00:43:55,800
in there too, but I've been I was checking his

896
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,400
bank card to see if there was any activity on it. No,

897
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,599
but I had to to eventually cancel. And he was

898
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,519
just the poor kid. Yeah, and like that stinks. He

899
00:44:06,679 --> 00:44:08,639
just got his gift cards and all that, so he

900
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,159
had everything in his wallet, so he lost all of it.

901
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,440
Oh my gosh. So but it's never happened before. He's

902
00:44:15,559 --> 00:44:19,199
so responsible and he was so upset about it that

903
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,760
I was like, Xander.

904
00:44:20,599 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 3: You know, what does he wear shorts that just have

905
00:44:23,559 --> 00:44:24,159
the pockets?

906
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: You know, guys, he was No, he was wearing I

907
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,840
don't know how it happened. I don't know if that's

908
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,519
even what happened, because no, he wasn't wearing I know

909
00:44:32,599 --> 00:44:35,559
what you're talking about. No, he was wearing like jeans

910
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,239
with like deep pockets. Oh okay, But I don't know

911
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,320
if maybe what we tore apart. He was in Elbie's

912
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,760
car at the time, but we literally tore the car apart.

913
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:50,400
It's not there, it didn't fall into the car, it's nowhere.

914
00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:52,599
Speaker 3: But he's so he didn't get out of didn't get

915
00:44:52,639 --> 00:44:55,480
out of the car and eat there or right like

916
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:56,320
he was just in the car.

917
00:44:56,599 --> 00:44:59,159
Speaker 1: We sat in front of our house and ate their food.

918
00:45:00,119 --> 00:45:01,960
Then he came in the house and he knows he

919
00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:05,559
had his wallet. When I know, believe me, we've done

920
00:45:05,679 --> 00:45:09,599
all of the retrace your steps. We tore the house apart,

921
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:13,360
We've looked everywhere it's gone. So anyway, I already canceled

922
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,079
this bank card. I replaced the cash. I was just like,

923
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,719
it's not your fault. I don't want use sweating it anymore.

924
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,760
I'm going to replace the gift cards eventually. But I

925
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,679
just felt so it was such a bummer. Yeah, that

926
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:29,960
is a bummer. He lost everything, but it happens. It happens. Yeah.

927
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,239
Also another thing that happened was that our internet was

928
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:40,039
out for like five days, and it's so frustrating. So

929
00:45:40,639 --> 00:45:44,519
it went out and then we have to call Spectrum

930
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,760
and go, hey, is there is there an outage? And

931
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,280
then yes, there's an outage in your area. Well, this

932
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,519
outage just went on and on and on. They couldn't

933
00:45:51,519 --> 00:45:54,840
figure out what the problem was. And then at some

934
00:45:55,039 --> 00:45:59,320
point I had called again. This was like the seventh

935
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,360
time I called. John was making jokes. He's like, how

936
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,480
many times did you talk to call Spectrum today? Like

937
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,039
maybe any new friends Spectrum. But I'm like, it is

938
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,039
unfathomable that they wouldn't communicate that there's a problem that

939
00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:16,280
they can't fix right now. So eventually I had called

940
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,400
and they said, well, we're not having a report of

941
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,639
an outage, which they did two seconds later. But so

942
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,639
they're like, so we're going to schedule a technician to

943
00:46:23,679 --> 00:46:25,760
come to your house. I was like, okay, but this

944
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,440
has been going on for three days, Like, we don't

945
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,639
need a technician. They're like, well, ma'am, that's the only

946
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,880
way that we can diagnose the problem. And I was like,

947
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,000
but the problem is not in our house. It's in

948
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:38,960
the neighborhood. Everybody is talking about it on next door.

949
00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:42,480
Everybody's having the same problem, so it's not our equipment.

950
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,039
She's like, well, we still have to send a technician

951
00:46:45,519 --> 00:46:50,719
to make sure to rule out. I'm like okay, I said, okay,

952
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,119
so make the appointment. She's like, okay, So it's for

953
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,440
eight o'clock tomorrow morning, between eight and ten tomorrow morning.

954
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,280
I'm like, okay, I go, but you got a painful it. No, no,

955
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:02,800
but I go. But you're going to cancel it because

956
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,440
you're about to get calls that there's an outage. Okay,

957
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:11,000
and then we'll cancel the next morning. So sure enough,

958
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,199
it goes back out. We get a notice your you're

959
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,679
there's an outage in the area. So it was intermittent.

960
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,239
It was going and coming coming back, going out. But

961
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,320
we'd have it for like forty five minutes at a time,

962
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,159
then it would be out for two hours, then we'd

963
00:47:23,199 --> 00:47:25,679
have it for ten minutes, then it would be out

964
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:26,599
for four hours.

965
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 3: Like it was just like, that's crazy. It was, that's maddening, maddening,

966
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,440
that's torture.

967
00:47:31,599 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: I had to. I was doing coach coaching work for somebody,

968
00:47:35,679 --> 00:47:39,320
and I who I couldn't do it online because it

969
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,039
was I was on like a Google doc. So I

970
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:42,639
was like, okay, I had to go to I had

971
00:47:42,679 --> 00:47:44,960
to go to coffee bean. I sit at a coffee

972
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:50,159
bean like a loser and like do work. Okay. So anyway,

973
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,960
eight o'clock the next morning, there's a knock at the door.

974
00:47:53,079 --> 00:47:56,159
I'm like, what, who's at our door? I go to

975
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,199
the door. I'm like who is it? Spectrum. I'm like why, why,

976
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:03,519
why are you here. He's like, well, didn't you make

977
00:48:03,559 --> 00:48:07,119
an appointment? And I said yeah, but there's nothing wrong

978
00:48:07,199 --> 00:48:09,760
with our equipment. This is it's going on in the neighborhood.

979
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,599
So he's like, well, I have to are you gonna

980
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:17,320
let me in? I go okay. So he comes in,

981
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,400
he looks at the equipment. He's like, yep, there's an

982
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,960
outage in your neighborhood. I'm like, no, shit, I know that.

983
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:25,840
I told them that. I thought they were going to

984
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,239
cancel the appointment. He's like, well, no, okay. So then

985
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,559
he goes. I was like, but we need to know

986
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,320
when I'm going to have consistent internet because we both

987
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,599
work from home. Yeah, John does editing stuff. Yes, so

988
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:40,519
there's a lot of that. We pay for the fastest internet,

989
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,480
right And by the way, you guys gonna give us

990
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,440
a rebate or something. After this is all said, Oh,

991
00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:46,320
they're like, no, you have to call and ask for

992
00:48:46,519 --> 00:48:49,639
credits for the and they'll credit you for only the

993
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,360
time that it was out. I'm like, okay, well I understand,

994
00:48:53,639 --> 00:48:55,800
and they're like, well, ma'am, you're we're not charging you

995
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,199
for the time you didn't have internet. I'm like, yeah,

996
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,599
but what about the inconvenience of the time that we

997
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,480
couldn't do our job? Well, no, we don't. We don't

998
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:08,000
rebate you for that. I was like, okay, so every day,

999
00:49:08,039 --> 00:49:09,840
of course, I'm like, well, at this point we should

1000
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,440
just freaking switch to AT and T because how much

1001
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:14,239
longer are we going to have to go without internet?

1002
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,519
But you know, it's that thing where you're like, is

1003
00:49:18,599 --> 00:49:20,159
the pain in the act. It is a pain in

1004
00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:24,079
the of switching to AT and T worth it? I

1005
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:30,679
don't know. Yeah, we've had internet consistently. We had it

1006
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,360
all day yesterday, but like I kept waiting for it

1007
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,800
to be out. But anyway. So the guy goes. So

1008
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,719
the guys like, we're like, okay, can you tell us anything.

1009
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,440
He goes, yes, it's it's something with a line in

1010
00:49:43,559 --> 00:49:45,960
your neighborhood. They're trying to fix it. There's trucks by

1011
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,480
the way, yes, constant in spectrum trucks around, but they're

1012
00:49:49,519 --> 00:49:51,360
at the same they're at the same place. Then they'll

1013
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,519
be gone, then they'll be back. I don't know. Maybe

1014
00:49:53,559 --> 00:49:55,400
they're off at seven to eleven grabbing a coffee. I

1015
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,039
don't know what they're doing. But you asked them, but

1016
00:49:59,159 --> 00:50:02,199
we didn't I know, oh you did. Yes, I haven't did.

1017
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,639
We hadn't gotten that far yet. But the guy's like, okay,

1018
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,440
well who's I said, Well, it could.

1019
00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 3: He's like, it could. I've seen us take two weeks.

1020
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:13,280
I'm like, we don't have two weeks. He goes, Okay,

1021
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:14,719
I'm going to give you the phone number of my

1022
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,320
supervisor who's going.

1023
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:20,079
Speaker 1: To be in tomorrow. He can he can tell you. Okay,

1024
00:50:20,199 --> 00:50:21,960
So he gives us this phone number. He goes, his

1025
00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:25,320
name's Justin. He starts work at ten am. You can

1026
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,119
call him tomorrow. So ten am we're like white knuckling

1027
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:31,920
at till ten am till we can call Justin. So

1028
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,440
I had to go out. Oh well, I thought we

1029
00:50:35,519 --> 00:50:39,320
were recording yesterday. This was yesterday. Yeah, no, this was

1030
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,400
day before yesterday, whatever it was. I was gone and

1031
00:50:42,599 --> 00:50:46,960
John tells me, yeah, So that phone number doesn't go

1032
00:50:47,039 --> 00:50:51,039
to any buddy named Justin. It goes to a David Martinez.

1033
00:50:51,159 --> 00:50:54,079
It doesn't say anything about it being Spectrum. It's just HI,

1034
00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:57,639
you've reached David Martinez. Please leave a message. So he

1035
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,159
left like four messages from for David Martin Tinas who

1036
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,920
doesn't work for Spectrum, and you never returned a phone call.

1037
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 3: Shocking, shocking, These mother fucking bather fucking lying scattered ass wipes.

1038
00:51:11,519 --> 00:51:14,199
You know how many times I've gone through that, Stephanie,

1039
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,719
I know your pain for years, for years. Electricity goes out,

1040
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,159
like the spectrum goes out, both of them go just

1041
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:23,719
you know, but there's.

1042
00:51:23,559 --> 00:51:26,519
Speaker 1: Nothing like thinking about the rest of the world to

1043
00:51:26,639 --> 00:51:30,280
make you just go okay, right, all right, Internet is out,

1044
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,960
like cause I get really crazy about it with like

1045
00:51:33,119 --> 00:51:36,880
this is so ridiculous. How am I supposed to do

1046
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,239
my job? And you know, and then I'm like, oh,

1047
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,000
there was a plane crash, Like I'm like, all right,

1048
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,840
we'll give it another day. The old internet outage. Right.

1049
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,199
Speaker 3: Speaking of plane crashes, by the way, like I had

1050
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,880
to travel when all these planes were crashing, and I

1051
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:55,840
was odd left and right, there was every other There's

1052
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,320
like three or four plane crashes.

1053
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,519
Speaker 2: You didn't take a Boeing, did you?

1054
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I did.

1055
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 3: I know he couldn't scary that.

1056
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: Those are all the all the plane that have been

1057
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:06,880
happening for the past year.

1058
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:07,559
Speaker 3: They're all bowing.

1059
00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: They're all been bowing. When I flew recently, I forgot

1060
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,800
where I went. I remember I or when I went

1061
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,039
to New York. When I went to New York with

1062
00:52:17,119 --> 00:52:20,639
all be in January, I remember they said. The travel

1063
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,719
person was like, okay, but just so you know, this

1064
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,960
plane is a Boeing whatever. And I was like, that's fine,

1065
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,960
yeah whatever the one was that they were. Yeah.

1066
00:52:29,159 --> 00:52:32,199
Speaker 3: It's so funny because the night before we left, I

1067
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,760
was talking to my nephew, Nicholas, who got his solo

1068
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,880
license flying oh flew from one airport from one city

1069
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,400
to another solo.

1070
00:52:40,679 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went to flight school, I know. And we

1071
00:52:44,039 --> 00:52:45,760
were talking to him and we were talking about.

1072
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 3: Turbulence and he was like, I love when turbulence, he goes,

1073
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,239
I just sit there and relax and like I bounce around.

1074
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:57,119
He's like, the planes rarely, rarely, very very rare planes

1075
00:52:57,119 --> 00:52:59,960
are taken down by turbulence, he says. The most days

1076
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,880
time is the takeoff and land landing. He says, landing

1077
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,480
is basically a controlled crash, is what it is. So anyway,

1078
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:09,199
he's telling us about the turbulence, and I was telling

1079
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,199
him that I taught Sunny and Natalia to enjoy turbulence

1080
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,199
since they were little, so now they're they're never afraid

1081
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,239
to fly. They feel the same way about turbulence.

1082
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:18,679
Speaker 1: They like it.

1083
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,679
Speaker 3: And we're talking about him, like literally hours before we

1084
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,320
get we get on the plane. It was the most

1085
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,679
bumpiest turbulent ride from Chicago to LA that I've ever had.

1086
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:30,920
We're all three looking at each other, I mean literally

1087
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,480
is like and then the captain kept going, you know,

1088
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,719
