Speaker 1: It's nice.
Speaker 2: What's up? Everybody? Welcome to our show? Right out loud. Yeah,
Happy Mother's Day, Happy late Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: I mean, should we start with Mother's Day since it
was just to us it was yesterday? Yeah, super fresh
in our mind, right, you had a child home at least?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's Sunny flew in picked him up at the airport.
So Natalia calls me like early in the week and
she's like, Mom, do you want to come up on
Sunday and I'll cook dinner and you can like come
hang out. You don't have to do anything, you know,
I'll just cook dinner. And I was like sure, and
I said, actually, Sunny's coming in on Sunday as well,
maybe I can pick him up and we can both
come out. And she's like bet oh okay. I was like, okay, great, Yeah,
that's so fast. So then he talked to Sunny and
he's like At first he was like yeah, okay, that's cool,
and then he was like wait, hold up. He's like,
I don't land until three point thirty and then I'm
going to get in a car and drive for two
hours Santa Barbara. He's like, eh, would you be okay
if I passed? And I was like all right. And
then because he's here for such a short time, he
came in. Yes, he came in on Sunday. Monday night
is the Laker game playoffs that he's here for. He's
going to go to the game with his dad, and
then he's going to spend the night at his dad,
and then he's leaving early Tuesday morning and his dad's
going to take him to the airport. So I only
have a.
Speaker 1: You have to pay for the plane ticket even though
he's barely staying with you, but anyway, go on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so so anyway, so then he was like, yeah,
I don't know about that. I was like okay, but
he's like, but you you go, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: So then you go, Mom, just go hang with your
favorite child. That's fine. I'll just be here in the
house by.
Speaker 2: By myself, right. So I was like all right, and
then uh so then Natalia calls me Sunday morning, you know,
Happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: Mom.
Speaker 2: Hey, I have so much homework to do and laundry.
Do you think we could just go out to dinner?
And I was like, well, actually Sonny's coming in, and
I'm probably gonna see you sooner than I'm gonna see
Sonny because he's got it. He's only here for a
short time. And she's like, Okay, why didn't you just
hang out with Sonny and we could do like another
night or something. Well, I'll make dinner, and I was
like okay, So that was off. So then I picked
up Sonny and talked my ear off the whole way
about like how the Lakers are doing terrible and how
they lost. They're a good player and blah blah blah's
injured and yappity yappity app And then we get home
and he's like, so the uf there was a big
UFC fight last night, So long story short, we sat
in the living room for like hours watching these UFC
fighters that fought, and he was showing me the whole
pissing match that led up to the fight. They had
this like press conference where they got in each other's
faces and they like tried to fight each other. At
the press common they're talking shit match it against each other,
horrible things, saying horrible things to each other, like worse
than a roast, you know, roasting each other, which was
pretty fricking entertaining. And then he showed me like highlights
of the fight and how the fight ended, where the
one guy won and the other guy shook his not
only shook his hand and hugged him, but helped put
the belt around his waist because he was the heavyweight
champion or whatever. And he's like, you never see that,
And then he's showing me other highlights of other fights
of other people fighting, and it was pretty entertaining. I
had to say it was better than any Real Housewives
of Beverly Hills episode.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's like, how's that for your Mother's Day?
So that was nice, And then we ate dinner together
and then then he went on his walk, you know,
listening to his porn and audiocorn.
Speaker 1: Did you make dinner? No?
Speaker 2: We ordered pizza, yeah, from his favorite pizza place. Okay,
yeah and yeah, and then you know, there's been some
robberies in our neighborhood and they found like some Wi
Fi device in the bushes where these people that are
robbing the houses are like live streaming the house to
see when the people are home, and then they're not home,
they break in, and there's like on my Facebook page.
There's like a picture of the cop holding the device
that was found. So I'm telling SENNI, you're gonna go
on a walk at night, you better bring your ID
because they could there could be a lot of popos
around like checking, yeah, yeah, pull you over. So he's
like all right, yeah, and then he went on his
walk and then I haven't seen him yet today, still
Sleeping's fun. I have to go home, pick them up,
and then drive them drop them off at his dad's
warehouse so they can go the Laker game.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I left the house at twelve thirty to
come here, and yeah, Ilbie was home, but she was
still sleeping.
Speaker 2: What'd you do?
Speaker 1: So you know what, here's what I love I do.
I do not like it. And I know you feel
the exact same way you and I are. This is
why we're friends. But I don't like it when I
feel I feel some kind of weird pressure. If people
are like happy Mother's Day right away and like could
we go get you a coffee or do you want
to have breakfast? I'm like, this is a settle down. Yeah,
I really honestly feel that way. I feel that way
about my birthday. I don't want. I don't like that, right,
I don't want people feel I just wanted to be
like a regular day. And then but Elbe came home
so she had to work hosted at her hostessing. I
told you she got promoted though. Oh he's a runner
right now. But they had her hostess on Mother's Day
because it was just like a zoo and they needed her.
So she came home the night before, did her hostessing
gig that morning, and then came back and then she
and I went for a walk. We took Bob for
a walk. A little bit later in the day, I
went to the gym. Then we took Bob for a
walk together. Then we ordered pizza and then okay, so
my whole thing was and I did this last year too.
I wanted to watch a movie and order pizza, have
some pizza, diet coke, watch a movie. Done. Yeah, that's
my Mother's Day. Sounds so fabulous to me. So I realized, though,
our TV in our living room, we have like a
big living room TV. I guess it's newly on the fritz.
Although John's going to try to fix it because he
looked it up. He used AI, there's some thing that's
kind of an easy fix for forty bucks and then
if that doesn't work whatever, Right, But I'd forgotten that
because it's kind of recently happened. And here's the thing.
We never watched TV in the living room, right, and
I watched TV in my bedroom, and the kids watch
TV on their computers. Yeah, nobody's the only thing that
people use the living room TV for is they play
when they're doing video games, right, right, that's where they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the point is, I was like, well, I still
want to have my plan. I guess we're going to
have to all lay in my bed and watch a movie.
So all five of us, that's great, laid in my
bed with Bob. So six of us in the bed
and we watched The Menu. Do you remember that movie?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that was a good movie.
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. Yeah yeah, Well we had seen
it before, but she really liked it. John and I
saw it before, but I hadn't you know, I'd forgotten it, right,
even though it's only from twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Two, right, Yeah, I saw recently.
Speaker 1: I didn't remember a single scene. It might as well
have been absolutely brand new. I was like, it feels familiar.
I remember that I kind of remember the story, not
one per I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah, Jill
Iichenberry's in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But other than that, also, another thing is and this
is so stupid, I thought, because somebody said, oh, with Margo,
So I thought that the lead girl was Margot Robbie
because I'm apparently face blind, have no memory, so I
was going under the presumption that it was Margot Robbie.
And at one point I was like, yeah, Margot Robbie
is so cute, and all of my kids were just
like mom, what, They're like, that's not Margot Robbie. And
I was like, oh, I did think it was kind
of strange that her name's Margo the movie as well.
I thought like, that's interesting. They didn't give her character
like a different name, right, well was it? They're like,
that's the girl from Queen's Gambit. Oh her Anna Anna, Yeah,
I know you're something.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, Like then I felt so embarrassed.
I was like, I'm like a grandma.
Speaker 2: I know this point, like, oh, who's that?
Speaker 1: Everybody Margot Robbie. But like mom, Margot Robbie's from the
Barbie movie. Remember she was in the Barbie movie. I'm like, yeah,
but this girl looks kind of like the girl from
the Barbe movie. I don't know. They both have wide
set eyes.
Speaker 2: With right blond hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. You know
a movie you would love to watch with your kids.
Is it's called Ready or Not? Okay, it is. It's hilarious,
but it's like dry, it's like kind of a like
a horror movie, but it's not a horror movie.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: And uh the lead looks like Margot Robbie, but it's
not her. I don't know, she's not really famous, but
it's it's got the kind of humor we like. It's
like that dry wit humor. And it's pretty funny and
it's pretty good. And yeah, it's called Ready or Not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the acting in the menu because it's a horror movie,
but it's also like a very dark comedy. Yes, that's
what there's there's so many there's a lot of funny lines, yeah,
and a lot of and the acting is really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm telling you, I won't steer you wrong. Ready
or Not?
Speaker 1: You'll like then, of course, you know, best laid plans
listen and if this is the world's biggest problem for me,
I'm doing pretty good, but I was like, well, it
can't be how I pictured it, because we can't like
eat pizza and watch the movie because in no way
we're bringing pizza into my bed, you know. So it's like,
all right, so everybody eat your pizza, like standing around
the dining room table, and then digest and then meet
in the bedroom for the movie, and then we're all
too full for any kind of like popcorner snack. Yes,
of course, Bob's begging for food. So you know, by
the time it's done, it's like.
Speaker 2: All right, everybody out right, everybody go back to your corners.
Same thing at my house, nobody ever watches TV in
the living room. I mean Sunny and Night yesterday did,
but that was like a one off. Yeah, never rarely
watch it. Or if Natalia does with her friends, she'll
watch movie and she blasts it so fucking loud too,
like it's like she tries to recreate it like it's
in a movie theater. But yeah, we don't. We all
go to our own, our own place.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to use our TV that well,
but everybody now because the Apple TV remote, which is
what we used doesn't doesn't work, and it's broken is
not does it need to be charged? No, we try
charging it. It's not the charge. It's broken. So everybody
does it from their phone. You know, there's so many
components because it's like you got to turn on a
thing that turns on the sound that changed, then you
got to turn this on. Like I don't know, I
just have to ask for help. I'm like, can somebody
turn the TV on?
Speaker 2: For not put on that Margo Robbie movie. I'm a disaster,
I know, I know.
Speaker 1: Okay, ready or not? I'm writing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ready or not? Yes, there's like part two that
just came out too in the movie theaters. Yeah, it's
it's it's really it's pretty funny. So then so I
went to the uh the show Netflix is a Joe. Yeah,
last Wednesday with my girlfriend Jody talked me into going
at the Greek Theater, which is beautiful. So I said
last week that Sarah Silverman was going to be there,
and I was really excited to see her. You know,
she was She's been I've known her back in the day.
She's always been very sweet. Looking forward to see her.
So Jody and I go to this restaurant in the
area by the Greek and Los Felis was really good.
Speaker 1: Now, keeping in mind last week, you were like, oh,
I don't want to get there too early.
Speaker 2: I know, I was saying, I don't want to get
that right.
Speaker 1: It was like, you should get there like close to
when the show starts, because sometimes there's like good comics
at the beginning.
Speaker 2: Yes, And you were like, right, I was like, I
don't know, I don't need to see Nick Kroll. I
don't know. So yeah, I mean, so we we and
Jody is she wanted to get there early, but she
got to talking a lot during the dinner. We kind
of lost track of time. We figured out we haven't
seen each other in like two years. It was the
last time. Yeah, no, because she works a lot, and
she travels a lot, she's out of the country a lot.
She has a great job. She loves her job. You know,
she's not married, doesn't have kids, and so she's always
We text each other and we talk on the phone,
but we haven't seen each other in like two years,
and so we got to catching up and stuff, and
then we go to the Greek and we get there
a little late and there's some comedian on and we
get settled. We had good seats thanks to John and
James Babydall Dixon that got us the seat, and we
were and then we were like, then the next comedian
comes on, Then the next comedian were they like Nick
Kroll and then Nicki Glazer. She wasn't that funny.
Speaker 1: She wasn't. No.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you're always expecting like the Nikki
Glazer from the Roasts. She was great, don't get me wrong.
She was funny, but it wasn't like what I expected.
It was kind of like subdued. So whatever With Nick
Crol though.
Speaker 1: When I told you I saw him opening up for
John mulaney, Yeah, and he was super funny. Funn was funny.
Speaker 2: He was probably the funniest one actually, no shade to John,
but yeah, he was great. He was great. Then there
was some guy that was like a magician and he
was like, did some kind of math thing, and so
the audience he was like, do twenty five minus twelve
on your phone and people next to us were doing it,
and then something something, and then and then he said,
and it's going to be the time, the time on
your phone. And it turned out I don't know. It
turned out to be the exact time on your It
was crazy. He did some kind of crazy magiciany acts
which was entertaining. And then John came on and he
was great. Feel like he was short, like it didn't
not short in stature, but like it didn't. His acting
seemed that long, like it was kind of shorter.
Speaker 1: And then he's supposed to be the headliner.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. Then then it was him and then
it was like buster Rhymes came out and like saying
and then I got a text saying, hey, you want
to come by and say hi backstage? So we went
backstage and hung out with him, and James Dixon left,
so I didn't see him. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Was anybody else in the green room?
Speaker 2: Not really, not anybody that I recognize because I'm old too.
There's like a bunch of people. But yeah, so we
hung out and talked to John for like a half
an hour, which was nice, and then and that was it.
That was our night. Totally missed.
Speaker 1: Sarah moded like moded and coroded and corroded. Yeah, that's
so funny. And so she wasn't she didn't hang out, No,
he's like she left as soon as her act was over.
Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he did tell I said hi, and she
was like, oh I love one that toy said Hi.
That was cute. So that was nice. But yeah, so
that was my evening out, which is fun. Yeah, not
like that exciting though, No, no, not like I you know,
was it.
Speaker 1: Fun to hang out with John Stewart?
Speaker 2: Of course, yeah. Yeah, it was fun to talking to him.
You know, Jody told him a lot about her job.
He was very interested in that. He was, yeah, yeah,
I can't tell you who she works for, but she
works for somebody like pretty big uh huh, you know,
and travels a lot on their plane and stuff. So
that was interesting for him to talk. And then yeah,
he was like, I'm here for a couple of days
if you guys want to go to the to the
Then they were doing the show at the Hollywood Bowl
like on Friday night, but we were like, no, we're good,
don't need to go again. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know if it's an age thing,
but I find that going out to be such a
huge production at the point that you're like, yeah, it's
not like maybe it's also Los Angeles and the way
everything is a Kashaw. Yes, parking, And I'm not saying
this from a meme like I'll only go if there's
good parking, but just from the fact that there's so
much traffic, everything is so busy, everything is going to
take ten times longer than it should. I can't just eat.
For instance, I'm gonna go meet my friend Bonnie tonight.
Uh huh it's a Monday night. I'm already though, like okay,
because we were thinking, like we should go to the
Improv and see what's going on there and like grab
some dinner. Yeah, but Hollywood is a freaking train rag
on a Monday, right, And I'm like, Okay, where are
we going to park? Like we're gonna we could? I
guess we'll have to valet and then we can walk
to the book.
Speaker 2: It's just like how we got to get here. Everything's
all ready.
Speaker 1: Nothing is easy now, And so I can imagine being like, okay,
going to the Bowl, right, would we uber? Would we
like you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would. I would Uber to the Bowl
for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You're going to say it's expensive, and that's another Yeah, exactly,
it's expensive, but it's better than dealing with where you're
going to park or you know if the Bowl is
the worst because you get trapped in like it just
it's so much traffic.
Speaker 1: Last time we went to the Bowl, we went to
for John Mulaney for John's birthday, like maybe two years ago,
Like was that a year ago? Yeah? Probably too. Anyway,
there was that parking lot by Franklin and Highland, Yeah,
and it was like thirty bucks. It wasn't even that bad. Right,
it's a pretty short walk right right. It's fun, but
you have to think ahead, like, okay, I would go there,
we would get there early, make sure we get apart
because those lots fill up, Like I would already be
ten steps ahead, and by that then I'd be tired.
Speaker 2: And you're exhausted, right, like I need a nap now,
right right right?
Speaker 1: And then they also take your phone.
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so then how are you gonna like go back
steak right, You're gonna have to get your phone unlocked.
And I'm already like this.
Speaker 2: Is not fun now, I know. Yeah, they do take
your phone. They didn't take our phones at the Greek,
which was nice. A lot of people are taking video
and stuff. We took no pictures. For some reason, I
don't know, but it was nice. We had a good time.

check up, which I don't know.
Speaker 2: He took my m sorry, I got a bug in
my throat. He took my blood and he's setting up
a time for me to go get I think I
have to go back this Friday to get a whole
X ray, you know the heart thing that they.
Speaker 1: Do, oh, like an echo, like an echo the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you ever have to do that?
Speaker 1: No? Yeah, I had to have a chest X ray
before I had surgery. I think before I had eye
surgery a couple of years ago. But I don't know,
I haven't done that. Oh maybe I did. No, No,
I can't remember. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's having me come back. So you know how
he you know how he does it. He has you
come into the office, you know, sit down, he talks
to you. And he was like started to talk to me, like,
how you doing. Are you okay after the divorce? You know?
And then he's like, being married to a narcissist is
the worst. It will do a number on you. And
he's like, I'm going through it. And then he said
he's filing for divorce this week. He said, well last week,
he's like, in a few days, I am filing for
divorce for the third time.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I was like, wait why and he was like, well,
it's a long story. But he said, you know, we
decided to try and like get back together and work
it out. All the other times and it just is
never going to change. And he's like, she's just not
ever going to change. So he's like, I gotta get
out of this. So I'm done and I'm filing for divorce.
And she doesn't know it in a few days. In
a few days and she doesn't know it, and he's
scared of her reaction, what her reaction is going to
be because she thinks like they're they're okay right now,
and he's like, we're not. She's not changing.
Speaker 1: So he's like, remember I told you when I went
to see him. He was like, we're separated. I'm staying
with a friend.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, we might like see if it'll
work out. And I was like, dude, no, I know.
He keeps going back. Yeah, he keeps going back. That's
why we call him doctor knock around, I know, hot on.
But yeah, it's not going to get anyway.
Speaker 2: So then we were talking and we were talking about
how I, you know, I smoke and stuff, and I
asked him about the GLP once, like is it good
for that? And he's like, oh, it's really it's could
be good for that. It could be it's good for
the inflammation, he says, I'm on it. I do a
micro dose and that's why I take it for the
for the all the good stuff it can do. So
he gave me a prescription for it, so I haven't
picked it up. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't want to feel like it. I well,
I mean, yeah, you have to get used to it
a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have.
Speaker 1: Really no side effects. Of course, I also don't. I
can't say that I have the good effect of not
wanting to eat like I did before. I mean, I
haven't done it. Let's see. I do it like every
couple of weeks, and I need to go up on
my dose. How do you know when you have to
go up on your dose because you feel hungry again?
But you don't really have that issue? Yeah, okay, So
I wonder if you would, I mean, you would have
to try to stop smoking.
Speaker 2: I feel like, well, yeah, right right, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean. I don't think you're just going to
magically be like, oh my god, I just don't feel
like smoking anymore. I have to try not to and
then it can help you. Yeah, I don't know how
it freaking works, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so does it give you the insant, how do
you know, like to cut the dose in half and
things like that.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, to remind you when I was first talking
about it, and everybody was sort of shaming me or
because I mentioned how much I weigh, which is apparently
too low, and it was upsetting to people that somebody
at my weight was trying to lose weight, which I
totally get. It's annoying. I was never like, I was
never obese. I never needed to lose a large amount
of weight. I wasn't. But listen, dealing with like sugar
addiction is a real It's a real thing. And also
even just having had eating disorders as a kid as
a kid in my twenties to in my early twenties
and really working hard at that and getting therapy and
all the stuff, it's real, you know, And it bothers
me that some people think, like, oh, you're just that's
going to cause like eating disorders. It doesn't. It doesn't
lead to like any kind of anorexic behavior. It definitely
hasn't with me, not like oh great, I'm not eating
that much. I'm gonna I'm gonna keep losing weight until
I'm like one hundred and five pounds, like it doesn't
do any of that. So what it did was when
I first started, the problem was I started at two milligrams.
Now I was doing turzepetide. I can't. I don't know
if we go VI as truezepetide. I'm not sure. Oh, okay,
zep bound is true, right I think anyway, The point
is that I just did not want to eat at all,
and I don't. I didn't. I don't like that feeling
because I'm not anorexic and I don't want to be
like so I wanted to want to eat. I just
didn't want. I wanted to not want to overeat or
like kind of binge eat, like have a little bit
of sugar and then feel like I need to eat
an entire thing of cookies. And when I got my dose, right,
that's exactly what happened. It was like, oh, I can
eat a meal and then you get full faster. So,
for instance, if I'm eating like a normal thing that
I would eat from like Trader Joe's, like a frozen
from Trader Joe's, I don't, I'm not like eating the
whole thing and wanting to like lick the carton you know,
I'm like, oh, I ate most of it, but I'm good. Yeah,
like by the way the rest of the way, like
I'm fine. Like if you're ordering pizza, you might be like, oh,
I ate two slices, I'm good. You're not going to
feel like I want to eat six. So now I
was already sober. So I don't know about like, but
a lot of people are saying it's the same thing
for like drinking or addictive behavior, which I would say that,
like binging on sugar is addictive being it is. So
it was making me feel like if I was not
eating sugar at all, it would have been I think
easy to not eat sugar. Right. See, I'm trying to
walk the line between saying like, if you want to
be sober, let's just say then I think it could
be helpful tool to make you not feel like you're
having massive alcohol cravings. I don't know if you're going
to be like, well, I wanted to help me drink
in moderation, Like I don't know, yeah, but I would
imagine that you're not trying to smoke in moderation. You're
trying to quit smoking right right exactly. And the thing
is like the side effect of people that people say, like,
I didn't really feel imnaucious, So I don't know. I
didn't have a side effect like that.
Speaker 2: You didn't. Well that's good to know. But what's the
difference between wigov and the trite and THEE and the
other one?
Speaker 1: Different are and then there's a zembic. It's just a
different They're all kind of the same, but some people
experience different side effects. Okay, what I've heard is that
zepetide causes the least amount of side effects.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, he does.
Speaker 1: He want to get you the we govy pill or
the shot?
Speaker 2: It's the shot?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know somebody who wants to do the pill.
But the pill, uh might not make you well, But
you're not doing it to lose weight. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I'm going
to pick it up or not. I'm going to look
into it more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's like a panacea
for everybody and everything. Right, I think it's got its place.
I definitely do not do it as much anymore. I mean,
I lost the weight I wanted to lose, right, I'm
in a totally healthy weight, and I'm like, that's what's
interesting is that I'm not like I've always been more obsessive, like,
oh I lost weight, then I want to lose more.
Like I like to be striving to hit a goal. Right,
So it's like if I let myself gain weight, then
I'm like, well fuck it. Then like I'll gain a
bunch of weight and then I'll lose the weight, which
is such an unhealthy Right now, I just feel like,
oh I feel good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it works for you, that's what I want. We'll see,
we'll see. I mean I could lose some weight too,
trust me. You know, people think I'm thin, but like
you know, you get older, it old belly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think that we shouldn't gatekeep like
wherever you are. I don't know. There's stuff I read
threads too much and people are just like so down
on taking glps for everybody, and I'm like, fuck off.
Speaker 2: Yeah you do what's good for you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, as long as you are feeling good about
what you're doing, right.
Speaker 2: Everybody. Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't care what
people say. I know people are probably gonna be like
what the fuck, But I don't know. We'll see. I'll
let yourself I do.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like parenting, Like people just have strong
opinions about something that they're not dealing with, right, yeah,
or about a lot of different issues. People just decide
that they feel away of some kind of way about
what other people are doing, right, And that's annoying. It's
very annoy I mean, listen, this has been my life
dealing with, like the trans issue of people having opinions
about what other people feel exactly in their hearts, Like
we don't fucking know what's happening in your own family,
what's happening in your own brain exactly. I don't need
anybody to tell me like you shouldn't be doing this
or that, Like.
Speaker 2: Well, how do they who know?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 2: How do they supposed to know what's good for our
family or good for you, you know and your kids.
It's none in their business, you know. But everybody does
have an opinion, and that's part of it.
Speaker 1: But it's sad that like certain things and something is
coming to mind, and that thing is Prong callers. I'm
going to tell you why. Okay, So Prong Callers, my dogs,
Oh my god. Do people like have very strong opinions
about it. So when I was dealing with Penelope early
early on, and Penelope had this insane squirrel fixation, very
high prey drive. And you might remember this from my
stories about when we first got her and she could
get out of any harness right and she would was
like an escape artist, and it was really scary and
it became so stressful to walk her. And then I
hired a trainer, remember, and then I had her on
the show and people got mad. Laura London, it was amazing. Yeah,
I forgot how I got her, but I got her.
I paid for her to. She came over, she walked
Penelope with me. We did a couple of sessions and
she was like, yeah, this dog's crazy, like just it
with prey drive. Because Penelope would do this thing where
if she would see a squirrel or a cat, she
would like lose her mind like a serial killer on
a binge, you know, just like nobody home, just going
crazy and struggling with trying to bite the leash, like
going nuts. And then you'd have to be like, no, no,
pull her away from the situation. Okay, Well, Laura London
was like, look, I think you need to this dog
is going to need a prong caller. We could go
through a lot of other things with trying like click
training and all these other things, but like, this is
unsafe and it's it's unsafe for you, and I recommend
trying this prong caller. It's not going to hurt her.
She's going to learn right away, like don't she taught
me how to use it. You don't yank it, you
don't pull with it, you just stop. And then when
she tries to go after it, it's going to be
uncomfortable right away, and she's going to back back up.
And then they learn, oh, that's not going to get
me what I want, and she's not going to be
able to get out of it. Okay, walked for the
rest of the time we had her. If you look
if you google prong callers, people lose their mind or
like losing their minds. If you read reddit thread, they're like,
do not ever under any circumstances. That's called like aversion training,
and you're just teaching the dog that doing the right
thing is painful, and then they could end up aggressive.
Like there's a really strong things about it. But like
today I was walking Bob and I was like, dude,
this dog needs a pron caller, because really he's super strong.
He has a very high prey drive. There are so
many squirrels in our neighborhood, and I'm I'm going to
get hurt because even with he's in a harness, the
harness is clipped from the front, which is how you're
supposed to do it. You could clip it. I could
clip it from the front and the top to get double.
But he is so strong he will knock me off
my feet and it's very unpleasant to walk him that
way because you're like, you have to always be prepared
and my back has been hurting because I'm always tense
and I have to, you know, try to redirect and
if he sees a squirrel, I have to be ahead
of the game and know, okay, there's a squirrel over there. Okay,
he's locked in on it. He's going to try to
help me. I've lost.
Speaker 2: I'm dangerous because he can jump into traffic. I run
across the street like you.
Speaker 1: Know what I mean?
Speaker 2: You don't know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And I came home today and I
was like, you know, I take him on these really
long walks. It's become more and more stressful to go
to the park. And it's not if people are listening.
It's not that he doesn't listen to me. He does,
except when he's a lot. When he's he's gone. When
he sees the squirrel, all like listening to me goes
out the window. He's not paying attention to me. It
doesn't matter. I've tried bringing treats with me and being
like here, like, here's a treat, look this way. He
does not give a fuck about my treats. He's like,
fuck you, there's a squirrel and nothing's going to stop me.
And I can stop him. It's just really hard. I
have to like dig my feet in, I have to
hold on really tight, and then I have to kind
of drag him away. And that's how it was with
Melby until the freaking pron caller changed our lives. Never
heard her with it once. She never yelped, she never
got hurt. I never yanked it. But like, listen, people
have such strong opinions that you're like, don't google shit, Well, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, if it worked for you before, you
know it's gonna helpful. Hopefully it'll work again. You know
you got to do again, get to do what's right
for you and your family. You know, you don't want
him pulling like that. That's not good. Yeah, it is dangerous.
It had been for you.
Speaker 1: I almost if I had nails, I would have broken
a nail ye morning. Yeah, because he just pulled that
kind of out of nowhere, and it like I was
holding the leash and it like I can't explain it,
but right, I know I've been there with Phil many times.
Phil would do the I mean Phil would just pull
all the time in a walk anyway, and he just
want to go wherever he wanted. He was like I
had to put the harness on him too. But he
was very strong, you know.
Speaker 2: Sometimes he would see another dog or a squirrel and
he wanted to like run after him. But then as
he got a little older, he totally mellowed out. He
just stopped doing that, stopped like I got him to like,
let's go for a walk. I'd say that, and then
he'd redirect and continue on our path. So but you know,
if you've got to use it, help you use it.
And hopefully BOP's only two. So yeah, I got a
long way to go, right right, I don't know. Yeah,
you gets.
Speaker 1: Haunted by people's like, I know, here's something that's like
not controversial. Born shoes.
Speaker 2: Love my Born shoes so cute to a picture of them.

Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I just need to tell you this before,
you know whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I was going to post the picture of born
shoes on our Facebook, but first I posted it on
our for Crying Out Loud. It's for Crying Out Loud podcast,
that's our Instagram account, right, So I go onto the
Instagram account, I switch accounts from my personal account to
for Crying Out Loud podcast. I post the picture and
then it says do you want to post it? Somehow?
It said like do you want to post it on Facebook?
And I was like sure, so because I was like, oh,
it'll post it on my Facebook. But that's fine, you know. Okay,
so it was like great, so can we connect the account?
And I was like yeah, why wouldn't I And it
was like okay, cool, cool, and then it posted the
picture and then next thing you know, it changed my
birthday on Facebook and I was like, what the hell?
What the what it's saying my birthday is like January first,
twenty teny Then I look and it's because Caylin set
up this for Crying Out Loud account on the Instagram
and set the birthday as twenty ten for some reason. Okay, well,
so it linked all the accounts and it changed my
birthday across all Meda things to twenty ten. And so
here's the thing. If you're born in twenty ten, you
are sixteen years old. So now all my meta products threads,
my personal Facebook book, my personal Instagram account, all the
accounts said that I am sixteen years old and I'm
a minor. So now I had so it restricted all
my accounts to be a minor account. So I was like, okay,
what the fuck? So then I google it what do
I do? And it says, okay, first thing you're going
to want to do is unlink that account, right, so
I I you know, and everything is so byzantine. It's
nothing as easy. It's like, oh, you want to do this, well,
you're going to want to go to the help thingy. First,
you're going to want to start with Instagram. Then you're
going to Facebook. You're going to go into the meta
account center, then you're going to go into settings in privacy,
then you're going to go in here. Then you're going
to go here, and you're like, well, the here's not here.
I just did a step that that's not what mine
looks like. And it's like oh, if that's not what
yours looks like, then you're going to have then you
should do the blobby blot. I'm like, none of it works.
So then I go I try to change my birthday.
I find a thing that's like, here's where you change
your birthday. Yeah, and they're like, hmmm, not so fast. Wa. No,
you're a minor, so we're not going to just take
your word for it that you're no longer a minor. Like, no,
sucks for you, but you can't change it now. So
then I'm like, well, what the like, yeah, what the fuck?
So I'm trying all these different things, and then I
come across this one thing that's like, Okay, you can
reset it, but you have to send in a picture
of your ID. Like okay, genius, that's great, take a
picture of my driver's license. I try to send it in.
It goes sorry, you tried to change your birthday too
many times. Now you gotta wait. And it doesn't say
you have to wait six hours. It says you have
to wait a few days. Oh my god, a few days.
And then I was like, then I tried to do
it from Instagram and they're like no, So it just
doesn't work when it won't even look at your ID
because I've tried something that says that.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's insane. So you don't know until you
don't know when you're So I looked up what does
a few days meet?
Speaker 1: Yeah in Facebook speak, and they're like, at least seventy
two hours? Wow? So this only happened a couple of
days ago when I think it was Friday, today's Monday.
Well did I do it on Friday?
Speaker 2: I think you did.
Speaker 1: I think I did it Friday night, So Friday night,
so Saturday Sunday. So it hasn't been seventy two hours.
So I guess I'm going to wait till like tomorrow,
and then I'm going to try to change it again.
But if it just if it says sorry, you just
tried too many times, then it starts the They call
it a cooling off period. What is this some kind
of like a Vegas casino? Now it's insane? Okay.
Speaker 2: So now, I mean, on the one hand, it's it's
a good thing for like to protect teenagers. But on
the other hand, when this happens and it's not true,
what are you supposed to do? There's nobody there's not
like a customer service, no, and do any of it that? No, no,
like no one has to talk to you even Nope,
troubleshoot nothing.
Speaker 1: There's no way, there's no help thing. You can't even
really email them. There's no bot that you could go.
What do I do when this happens, there's nothing. I
don't know how people deal with it. I put it
on my Facebook for help and some people were like, yeah,
that happened to me, and I just had to like
scrap my account and start over. And I'm like, well,
I'm not scrapping my Instagram account, like that's crazy, but
I just don't really know what to do.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: So then this morning I found out it said that
it turned my Instagram account private.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, so can't follow me on Instagram?
Speaker 2: I guess I guess not.
Speaker 1: I'm like, correct, I have a fucking business account, like
I do advertise right on my personal account, so like
you're not going to let me? Like and why did
it decide that the for crying out that's what?
Speaker 2: Why exactly? That isn't That's crazy to me. It's so frustrating.
Speaker 1: And you know when stuff like that happens and you
just feel so helpless, like nothing you can do.
Speaker 2: I'm stuck right Wow.
Speaker 1: And so now when I go onto Facebook, it goes,
you've already been on Facebook an hour today.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: No? It's like you're done on Facebook. And I'm like, no, bitch,
I'm not done. And even if it's just been on
in the background, I went on. I looked on threads
last night. They're like, sorry, you've exceeded your limit. Your
oh oh, my dad, you're a minor.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: There was a workaround on that you could ignore it,
and I was like, yeah, ignore it. But now it's like,
now I have a fucking mom, likeny, it's kind of
a funny story. You have some homework to do. You
shouldn't be on social media. This song it's like, I know,
I shouldn't be on social media. I'm an adult.
Speaker 2: Are maybe sixty at sixty let me live I now.
That is so frustrating, but kind of funny. Fucking Kylin,
so stupid, so stupid. So Caylen started it in twenty ten,
so I just put the date.
Speaker 1: I guess, but I don't think he did start it
in twenty ten, because remember it was only like a
few years ago. We made him get a new one, right,
that wasn't sixteen years ago? No, we didn't know.
Speaker 2: He just came up with that date. Yeah, oh my god,
fucking Kylen.
Speaker 1: Why why would he pick that date? Why would he
make the account a minor? I now, I know that's
insane to me. Wow, sucks.
Speaker 2: Not when you think of it, it's Kaylin. It doesn't
seem that far off.
Speaker 1: So Caitlin. Somehow I remember that a long time ago.
Kaylan wasn't able to use it either, so I had
to sign up. I had to give it a parental consent, right,
But now I would need somebody else to give me
parental concent I'm going to need John to like, I know,
like sign up to give me to be like my.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you are on Facebook too much, Stephanie. Maybe
you do need a time out.
Speaker 1: I think I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need a cooling off period.
Speaker 1: I'm so bummed.
Speaker 2: This is crazy. I hope you'll I think it'll work
once you get once you let it reset, send your ID.
Hopefully that'll work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully I'll have an update next week. Yeah. But
here's another thing that I was going to tell you.
So this morning I go to walk the dog. Okay,
I see this thing come up on my phone. Do
you have Citizen?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 1: Okay, Citizen gets a little crazy sometimes, yeah, it does.
They're just like telling you. They're like, oh my god,
there was an accident, and I'm like, where was it.
They're like Fox Hills Mall exactly? Okay, how does that
affect me right now?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I have the same thing, something that's thirty miles away.
Can we keep it a little closer to home, like
we like our crime shows. Yes, there's a setting for that.
I think I've tried has time for that watch. I'm
going to turn it into I'm a mit be like,
oh sorry, this year too scary for you. You can't
hear about car accidents. You're a minor. So I see
this thing that's like somebody tried to run somebody over,
and it's like on my street. Really, I'm like, okay, hey, yeah,
I'm listening.
Speaker 2: I put my detective hat on.
Speaker 1: This is like it's seven thirty this morning. You're like,
this is on your street, and I'm like, holy shit,
I should run out there right now. And I'm like, wow,
I'll go later see if there's still any kind of
hubbub Hey. So I go out when I go to
walk the dog, and there, sure enough, there is a
police car like on our street, and there's two neighbors
and I can hear one of the women. She's like
going like I can hear her talking kind of like
very animated. And I was thinking this was like an
hour ago, so it was right when I woke up,
so it was like it's seven thirty. Yeah, no, like
seven I didn't go to and I walked Bob at
eight or anyway, it doesn't really matter. The point is
I start going up the street and I'm like strategizing.
You know, how am I going to like get in
their business?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know what's going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So one of the women there were like two
women on the front porch and there's a cop and
there's two cop cars and their cops are talking to them.
One of the women crosses the street to go to
her car, and I'm like, here's my chance, so like hi,
and she goes hi. And then I said anything like
you need some neighborly assistants, and I'd be a neighborly
assistant And then she goes, oh, you're so sweet. She goes, no,
she goes, and I didn't even have to say what's
going on because she couldn't wait to tell me, And
this is what was going on. She was like, there
was an Amazon driver in the neighborhood and he was
driving like too fast and I had to like pull
into my driveway really fast just to get out of
his way. Like I thought he was going to like
run me, run into my car. And I was like, oh,
of course, now I'm thinking. I said, oh, but but
did he did he hit you? She goes no, but
it was like kind of close. Like I got scared.
He was driving kind of crazy and like that's not safe.
And I was like, oh, I go so you called
the police, and she goes, yeah, So we called the
police and she goes and the police are saying that
there's not really much they can do because, like shocking,
nothing happened. I'm like, oh, really, I go to the
police are saying there's nothing they can do, and she
goes nothing. They're saying it they're not even treating it
like it's a big deal.
Speaker 2: Wow, was the Amazon guy still there? No, he left,
he's because he's driving back.
Speaker 1: These people are on a schedule, right, they have time
to be like waiting for the police to come. Also,
she never spoke to the Amazon guy, like they weren't
in like an Amazon truck. It was just somebody in
a car. It was dropping off packages. I don't know
even how. Maybe he stopped and then she maybe she
got into it and was like, oh my god, you
almost hit my car or something. I don't know what happened,
but it wasn't enough to be calling nine to one
one because they made a nine to one one car.
Speaker 2: That's crazy that Why can't stuff like that happen on
my street?
Speaker 1: Because I got a let me find the citizen and
was somebody live streaming it on citizen? No, because nobody
fucking went out there because it was nothing.
Speaker 2: To happen, right, Okay, so let's see that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh it's telling me my safety is at risk without
always allow location enabled. But I don't want to always allow. Okay,
So the incidents, okay, it's nearby incidents.
Speaker 2: Okay, that trumps my story of those things being planted
in our neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Oh well not yeah, and now it's not even really
telling me search those sometimes they just they go away. Oh.
Here it is report of Ford Mustang involved in vehicular assault.
Oh my so you see I'm reading that and it's
literally on my street and I'm like, holy shit, nothing,
it was not a vehicular assault. Vehicular involved in vehicular assault.
Oh my god, that guy almost hit my car. I
had to pull into a driveway.
Speaker 2: You're fine, Yeah, relax.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: For two cop cars to get out there, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yes, And then of course the cops are like what
carry what?
Speaker 2: What the what? And for them to be there for
so long too, right, like for like an hour.
Speaker 1: Because you know, these women were just being like crazy.
I mean, for the fact that this woman was still
animated about it right when I came out, which was
an hour.
Speaker 2: Later, that's crazy. That's insane, so weird. All right, glad,
