Speaker 1: Made de Sansom face sunny sun. I had a.
Speaker 2: Nice So let's have everybody look's back. Who's back back again,
Stephanie's back.
Speaker 1: What's happening? So I had COVID, even though as we
discussed on Patreon, I had I've had just so many
vaccines I now just to have. If I'm at the
grocery store, I'll just put a vaccine in my cart
and then I mean, like just for the hell of it,
and I just I just give myself the vaccine, right,
that's easy. Now you could do Oh yeah, you can
do it. Anybody can do it for you. If you're
just like the checker at the grocery store, You're like, hey,
do you mind giving me a booster, you know, and
they're like sure, just you know, hang ye, the Bagger's
gonna do it, right. Yeah, just so many vaccines, so
you're up to what number now, seventy four that scenes
I think I've had. I think I'm due for one again.
Yeah you can. You can get him like every five days. Yeah,
so okay. Yeah. So then then you said then you
got COVID. Got COVID. So John got it first, and
he thinks he got it from the gym oh. And
then before I knew that he had it, like that,
I had slept in bed with him the night before
the next day he was like sick. And then so
I tested him and he had he was positive. So
I was like, okay, stay away from me. So then
I was sleeping on the couch. But then turned out
I had it. Yeah, luckily neither of the none of
the kids got it. Oh really that's good. Yeah, none
of them got it. But uh yeah, it was kind
of kind of harsh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you texted me like you could that one
day last week, like you could, You thought you could rally.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I within a couple hours yeah, down, So
you know how it was. It was crazy because so
I was like, I'm not going to get it because
I'd been isolating from John. But then okay, So I
was supposed to Xander and I were supposed to go
see Shang Wang. Had I told you? I got tickets.
Now me and Xander to go see shang Wan. No comedian,
you didn't. I love this comedian Asian comedian. I don't
know if you could tell from the name shang Wan. Anyway,
He's so funny, and I found I discovered him listening
to like Netflix as a joke radio, I'm serious, and
then I just got kind of like into him. And
then Xander was complaining that we hadn't really done much
this summer. So I was like, Hey, do you want
me to get tickets to go see Shang Wang so?
And I remember when I pulled the trigger for the tickets.
I remember they always ask you like do you want
the insurance on the tickets? And I was like, no,
I don't want your scammy insurance. You know, literally one
of the ways that you could get your money back
is COVID.
Speaker 2: I know this, and I'll tell you later. Tell me, well,
I texted you about it yesterday or the day before
about about getting a rebate yeaheah yeah yeah yeah, but
go ahead.
Speaker 1: So that's another story which we'll get to. Okay, Okay,
so go ahead. So just that, I was like, no,
I don't want your stupid insurance, like the concerts in
like five days, Like what what if we miss it?
We miss we If we missed it, it would be
for some really good reason. Huh. Well it's funny though,
because I didn't think I had COVID at all. So
I started having a little cough. On Saturday, Xander went
to the beach, I think it was the day before
and he got so sunburned. Poor kid got like a lobster.
Came home and he was like, oh, no, okay, so
here's here's what happened. Happened. Usually xanderwhar's a rash guard.
If he's a beach, he's just a little bit self conscious,
so he almost never takes off his shirt at the beach. Well,
apparently it was hot. He'd been swimming, so he was
just like it was kind of scratchy. So he was like,
screw it, I'm taking off my rash guard and I'm
just gonna be topless the beach. So he said that
he slathered himself with sunscreen and you know, but his
poor little virgin chest and stomach and back had not
been exposed to and it was hot and a lot
of sun that day and he was out with no
shirt on for like six hours. But he's like, I
was wearing fifty SPF and I was like, yeah, but
even that's no match for if your skin is completely
completely white, you're you can last like ten minutes. So
even if you have a fifty, yeah, you're not gonna
you can't be out there for six hours. So anyway,
especially at the beach when it's what's the wind is blowing,
you don't feel it. It's not like the valley where
you're sitting by the pool, you could feel that sun
beating on you. Right, So he waving burnt, burnt, like
literally had blisters on his face. Old school. But I
was like, Xander, E're gonna be okay, cause you and
I were old school, Like that's what you did on
purpose when you're a kid. I mean, not on purpose,
but you burnt and then your skin peeled, and you
were like cool, you know. I remember I cannot tell
you how many sunburns I've had, which is probably why
my skin is so prematurely aged. But that's just we
didn't know better, and so blisters were like, yeah, that's
just that's what happened. Price of the mission. That's what
I used to have a lot of sunburn right. So
I was like, you're gonna be okay. There's nothing to
do for you, Like at Urgent Care, they're just gonna
tell me to put aloe on its alo ibuprofen. So anyway,
that was like the day before. So the next day,
he's in pain still, so he's like, Mom, I just
don't know if I'm going to be able to go
to Shang Wing. So I was like, okay. Then I
was like, you know, I'm a little bit tired anyway, like,
and I have a little cough. But I tried to
convince one of my friends to go with me to it,
and then I don't know, I had this feel. I
had this feeling. And I know people out there like, okay,
dumb ass, you probably had COVID. Yes, I know that now,
but you know when you're like, this is not a
cold symptom. This is like a little and I'm tired,
but not a cold symptom. I nose what. I wasn't congested,
I wasn't like hacking. I didn't feel like I was
getting a fever. Nothing. So I'm like, well, so I
had asked my friend and she said she would go
with me. But then I also knew that she was
leaving on a trip to New York, and I was like,
you know, I hate to say this. I was like,
but John is getting over COVID, and even though I've
been totally isolated from him, I have like a little
cough that just came on today. Maybe you don't want
to be around me. And she was like, yeah, I don't,
thank you raincheck. So I was like okay, So we
blew off the shan Wing tickets. The next day was Sunday,
and I was like, I still felt the same. I
didn't feel like I had it, really had a cold cold,
but a little bit more. I was coughing a little
bit more. So I'm like, you know, I have the
podcast on Monday, so I should go get a test,
a sensitive test an urgent care just to be sure.
I don't want to expose anybody. Go to urgent Care
that afternoon. Did the test negative and they're like, yeah,
you're negative, you don't have COVID and I'm like, okay.
I was like, but my husband is getting over it
right now. I think he was almost over it at
that point. I was like, and I have cold. So
now I have like sort of something like I have
a cold. And they're like, well, all I can tell
you is you could test again tomorrow. So the next day,
so I was negative, So either I tested again that night.
I'm trying to remember how it worked, but I told
you guys, yeah, But the next day I felt Monday morning,
I felt okay. Yeah, you texted us and said you
felt like it was like I rallied, like I think
that wasn't a cold. I think I was just being
extra cautious in my mind because I feel kind of fine.
And then you guys were like, yeah, let's skip it. Yeah.
So then later I tested again positive, dodged a bullet.
So that was Monday. I tested positive and then yeah,
and then I just finally tested negative. Yeah, positive, it did.
Then it got a lot worse. Yeah, you feeling. I
never got a fever, but I was down for the count.
I was like in bed for a couple of days straight.
Then you're isolating anyways, so it's like yeah, but then
the cough got really bad and then yeah, but no fever,
no fever. John had a fever with his like one night,
and he was being such a baby about it, like
he was just like, oh my god, I sweat through
the sheets. Look at the look at the sheets. They're
like so sweaty. Yeah, I'm like, that's every other night
for me, dude. It's called menopause. Yeah, but you feel
lucky that this was like a once a year right
for you? Right? Yeah? Yeah, so yeah, he was a
big baby about it, but he's fine. He then he
was Then once he felt better, he was like, I'm bored.
I don't want to be isolating anymore. I'm like, too bad, Yeah,
keep your mask on. Yeah. But then once I got it,
then I felt bad because now he didn't have it anymore,
and he had to drive the kids everywhere because I
was like, I am noting these kids COVID, like right
before they go back to school. Yeah, oh my god,
back to school. That's right. When does school start? My
kids start a week from today Monday? Oh jesus, it's
already school. You have no more. Okay, So when say

I'll help him get ready. Just the two of them,
or is Sunny's other roommate his friends? His friends are

guess it's just him and his dad. That'll be nice.
And how's he feeling? Is he nervous? Is he excited? No,
he's excited to go. They're both excited, both of them.
I know what Like, they're excited, we're not. I know.
It's sad. Yeah, it's not exciting. It's not exciting for
the parent. You know. It's exciting. It's exciting for them
to get into school or like make their decision or whatever.
It's not exciting when they leave. It is anti excited.
What are we supposed to do? Well, at least you
have the twins. At least you have Sadie Xander. I do,
but I don't love them as much as I'm just that. No, yes,
I have the twins. Thank god, I'm still although it's
in a weird way. It's it's awkward that I'm the
age I am now and I still have kids in
high school almost, it's almost like, yeah, like it's the
I have a daughter in college. Everybody should. They should
all kind of be in college really if you think
about it. But yes, I am kind of grateful. Yeah,
but my twins are going to be juniors. So it's
very different. You know, they're very you know, Sadie's got
her driver's license and how's that going? And she's driving.
So she has been taking little trips by herself in
the car and it's cute, like she's not like she's
going for drives and stuff like not really, yes, she's
going and driving around, but like around the neighborhood. Yeah,
for a long period. And then she's gone to like
Ralph's and and we've sent her grocery shopping, she's gone
to CVS. Like if she needs to go somewhere, she'll
just be like, I'm gonna take the car and go
to EVS. And then we're like, okay, careful. So, oh
this is kind of funny? Is it weird? So weird
when your kids the other night this was like, well
this wasn't this is like two weeks ago. I was
teaching class over zoom and Sadie had left to go
to the store. She'd gone drive. She was going and
driving around. Okay, all of a sudden, I get in
a I see an alert like so I'm teaching, but
my phone is kind of next to me and it
lights up. And with the citizen app. Do you have
the citizen apps? I do have the citizen App. I'm
constantly going, where's this robbery happening? Happening? Where's this accident?
Where where's Natalia? Right now? I hear it. I see
an accident like one point three miles away, yes, and
I want to know if my kids are involved, what
cars involved, that's happening, who's is or pictures or video
and some civilian shooting video of this if they are,
I need to see it right now. I do exactly. Okay,
so you will one thousand percent relate to this story.
So citizens app pops up. It says there's an accident
on Burbank Boulevard, which is near our house, Burbank and Balboa,
which you know that intersection is by the car. So
I'm like, ugh, I'm like with sadie people. Oh it
says overturned car and there's fire and that like fire
departments on their waist and somebody's trapped in a car.
So now I'm like distracted, you know, And I'm like,
so I quickly check Life three sixty to see where
Sadie is and it says she's home, but I know
she's not home because I know she's out with the car.
So then I'm like did she leave her phone at all?
Like so now my brain is working overtime and I'm like, well,
what did she not have? Does she not have her
phone with her? Could that be her? So then I'm
like trying to listen to the person who's on my
class and I'm like trying to like check check the life.
I'm looking at it and I'm just like okay, and
am I I'm like, you're being crazy right now, like
that's what are the chances that it would be okay?
But then it says accident in Encino village, which is
where I freaking live and it is not a big area,
and I'm like, okay, hold on, was she on her
way home from that accident? And was there? And it
said somehow it had gotten the facts wrong about the
first one, and the accident was in Encino a village
and that's where there was a car upside down. Then,
so now I'm like, well, okay, but it says that
Sadie's at home, but then if she's it could also
say she's at home because she's literally that close in
our neighborhood. Yeah. Right, then it pops up and says
it's a Toyota Prias and I was like, what the fuck?
And I'm like, now my heart, now I can't breathe,
and I have to do I was like, guys, can
can you guys hang on for a second. Right as
I say that, the door opens. Sadie's home, So I'm like, well,
she's not trapped in a car in a car somewhere.
And then it turns out that John had been having
the exact same freak out, and when she walked in
the door, John like pounced on her and was like
hugging her, and I was like, I thought you were
in an accident and told her the whole story. So
then after my class was over, I came out and
I was like, I was just shitting myself. I thought it.
I was like, look at this, and I showed her
Toyota Prius and Sino Village and I was like, God,
that's so crazy. I was like, we can't let you
drive anymore. I'm sorry. Somebody another Toyota Prius ruined it
for everybody. Yeah, so I don't even know what happened.
Oh my gosh, that's insane. But you know what a store,
you know what I have found that is so incredibly relaxing. Yes,
tell me about it because I'm really interested. We have
a new sponsor, and like two weeks ago, maybe before last,
I was telling you about this off the freaking record
because I was excited about this product because I'd already
been trying it and I'd posted about it on Facebook
and we got them to give us the code early.
That's how much I was, like, this is not even
an AD. It's called Vaya. It's CBD products. They also
have micro dos THHC products. There's one called Zen. I
got the box just over the weekend. Yes, I'm excited. Okay, So,
and we have a friend of the show named Melissa
who is always hitting me up about like does this
product work? Does that product work? And I had talked
about the Zen the CBD for sleep. Uh huh, okay,
it works really well. I slept all the way through
the night. I'd been having trouble like waking up at
three in the morning and waking up at like five A.
M Okay, you take one gummy. They taste good. I
let the I just let it like dissolve in my mouth.
John found it first from ours, was sampling at first,
and he was like, I think you might like this.
And I tried it and I was like, this is
a freaking miracle. Really, it totally worked. I slept through
the night. Our friend Melissa tried it. She was like,
oh my god, this is like the first thing that's
worked for me. She said, one and a half gummies
for her works better than one. Okay, one for me
worked fine. They have a ton of products, by the way, Yeah,
they like something with a little TC. They also have.

Speaker 2: Okay, So what else is going on? Well, Sonny got
back from Japan.
Speaker 1: Oh, how was it. I think he's done. I think
he's got his fill for Japan for a while. Really,
what happened? What happened?
Speaker 2: He had a great time. He had a great time,
but he uh, he lost some weight. The kid lost
a lot of weight.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know they stayed him and his like
four friends. They stayed in an airbnb and they got
like snacks and stuff. But it's not mostly like fruit
and like dried fruit stuff like that. It's kind of
you know, not the same kind of American like to
chips and hummus and whatever. And they did a lot
of like going in they they traveled a lot, Like
they took the train almost like a half a day.
They learned pretty quickly that they're low on the totem pole.
So when they're on the train, they are standing. You know,
they're young guys, so they're standing up the whole time,
even though it took them like four hours to get
to the other you know, province wherever they were going,
and which was fine, but not.
Speaker 1: A lot of talking. You can't really talk to each
other either. That's not cool. Oh really, Yeah, so everybody
in Japan's on their phone and they're not looking where
they're going a lot. But yes, there's not it's not
really cool to why. I don't know, it's kind of
it's just part of the culture. So you can talk
on the phone, but you know, you can't talk.
Speaker 2: You can look at your phone. Oh, but not a
lot of chit chatting on the train, you know. And
so like they're standing most of the time because they
have to give their seats up for you know, the
elderly or the young, or the out or the ladies.
Speaker 1: So if they talked to each other, did people give
them like dirty.
Speaker 2: Looks, They could get dirty looks, but instead they were
just texting each other because they didn't want it.
Speaker 1: They didn't want any of that noise, you know, they
didn't want that. They don't want that trouble.
Speaker 2: And then uh so towards the end, Sonny, Okay, so
they ate a lot. There's a lot of fish, a
lot of sea, like a lot of seawheat, I mean,
seafood every day, you know, like shrimp and scallops and just.
Speaker 1: That would make me happy.
Speaker 2: And raw fish like a lot, you know, with once
in a while like us Americans, like I haven't had
zushi in a while. But for them, it's like, I mean,
every time they went out, it was basically part of
their meal, even like for breakfast it's rice and shrimp
and whatever.
Speaker 1: So which Sonny likes. Was fine.
Speaker 2: They were okay most of the time. But they went
out there last night before they left and they went
to some like steak and and seafood restaurant and then
he got a bowl of like white rice and like steak,
and the steak was marinated and seasoned and really good,
but it went right through him. Like he was going
to the bathroom, he got really like, you know, almost
like to the point where he could not get off
the toilet and on the way home. So then they
were taking the train to get back to the airbnb.
And then it was the last train out of the station.
It was after that it was closing. It was one
o'clock in the morning, the train station was closing, and
his friends are like, come on, like, son, he's in
the bathroom. He cannot get out of the bathroom on
the subway, in the in the train station bathroom, and.
Speaker 1: Oh, worst kind of bathroom to be into it.
Speaker 2: Right, And so he's in there, he's in the stall
and he's just like basically water coming, you know. And
so he's like telling his friends like I'll just go
you guys, go take the train.
Speaker 1: I'll catch the Uber. They have the Uber app out there.
Speaker 2: So he's like one o'clock in the morning in the
bathroom stall and like five Japanese guys are.
Speaker 1: Banging on in the bathroom, banging on.
Speaker 2: His stall door, going like hey, you know, they're they're
saying like they're closing, but they're all speaking Japanese. Sonny's
like sweating and googling, like how do you stay sick?
And you know, he's just like he's like trying to
say that he's sick. No, sick, I can't I'm sick.
And then he's like, by the way, he's like, assholes,
you can't hear what's going on, Like I can't get
out the toilet. Just you're gonna have to wait, you know.
And so then finally he comes down of the bathroom
all standing in his face like inside the bathroom because
they're standing right outside of his stall like in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: So it was it was like, yeah, poor Sonny. And
then did they think was going on in there snorting cocaine?
You can pretty much tew yes, yes, I know. So
then he got an uh.
Speaker 2: He got home, and then they left the next day,
and he was worried how he's gonna do on the airplane,
so he didn't eat anything for like by the time
he got home, he's like, I haven't eaten anything in
like thirty six hours. He barely slept on the plane.
He fell asleep for like I don't know. A couple
songs he said, and then he got woken up and
then he couldn't go back to.
Speaker 1: Sleep, and he was just a wreck. But he had
a great time, Like he came home and you know,
for the most part, prior to that, yeah, prior to that,
they had they had a great time. They went a
lot of sight seeing, They went to museums, they went
to gardens and all just different places that they didn't
get to go to when they were with their their school.
Speaker 2: So they had He had a good time. But he's like,
I'm done with Japan, no need to go back again.
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, well that's pretty cool that at eighteen he's
already been to Japan twice, I know, I know, and
with his friends, with his friend and you know, he
learned a lesson about getting through a situation like that. Yeah,
he did. Like that was pretty brave that he was like,
go ahead and leave me right. Oh he had to
do it. He just have his friends wait for him,
and then.
Speaker 2: All uber, all uber, I don't know, I don't know.
They were, you know, they were getting on the train
and he was like, I can't get on the.
Speaker 1: Train right now, I gotta go to the bathroom. And
he was like, you guys, just go and I'll just
take an uber so they you know, and they've been
getting around, like he knew.
Speaker 2: Where the airbnb was, he knew how to get there,
like like by now, this was like the last night
of the trip, right, So there was another time, like
I think the day before. They had to take a
train for like a couple hours, and once they got
one of the friends wasn't feeling good either. He was
back at Airbnb. And once they got to their destination.
There's another thing there that you're one of the rules
is is you're not really supposed to, excuse me, walk
around and eat and drink at the same time. You're
not supposed to like even have a bottled water and
like drink while you're walking.
Speaker 1: Why it's part of their culture.
Speaker 2: And so Sonny was like feeling like not good. He
was feeling the stomach bug coming on. After they traveled
like four hours on the train. Once they got to
the destination, he was like, oh boy, I'm not gonna
I need water. I need to sit down. So he
turned around and took the train all the way back
a couple hours. So he spent like hours, like the
whole day on the train just traveling. Not feeling good,
but you know, a little nauseous or whatever. Sonny's got
a very sensitive stomach, Like he's like me a little bit.
It's a paradise thing. It runs in my family.
Speaker 1: So so he got back to the AIRBB. The other
one of his other friends was there anyway, not feeling good.
You know.
Speaker 2: I think it's just when you're eating like foreign food,
it your stomach. It's just you're not it's not your
your digestive system's not used to all the different and
stuff that they you know, have to cook the food
and stuff. So so yeah, that was he had to
deal with that too.
Speaker 1: But other than that, they had a great time. Yeah,
so it was fun and worth it, and yeah he
was lucky enough to get to go to Japan again.
And what about Natalia? How it was Spain? Didn't we
talk about it? She had fun and we didn't. I
don't think so, because I'm pretty sure she was there
the last time I recorded with you.
Speaker 2: Mmm, well, she had a good time. I think we
did talk about it.
Speaker 1: She's been back for like a month, she has Yeah, yeah,
what do you think, Caylin.
Speaker 3: I don't remember. I don't remember a lot of Spain talk.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that last we talked about it, you
had talked to her and she was having fun, but
she wasn't back yet. Really, yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2: Well, she had a good time too, you know, traveling
with her friend's family. They went to different places Barcelona
and then they went to I can't think of the
other place, but then they went to Abiza, and then
they traveled back to Barcelona and then they left again
from Yeah, so she had a good time. Like they went,
you know, did a lot of stuff with the family.
Abiza was beautiful. They had fun there.
Speaker 1: They were with her friend's older brother and his older
and his girlfriend, so they were so when the girls
were going out, they were with him and you know,
so which was nice. And her friend lost her driver's license,
oh no, yeah, and and then I think that other
than that, they they had fun, like that was it.
You know, Well they both have very eventful summers, they did,
and they're going off to college. Yes, so that's exciting. Yeah,
you know it was.
Speaker 2: It was a lot when they turned eighteen and graduated
high school like all in the same week, pretty much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, big life events. And now they're going off. Yeah,
and how is Natalia doing with her breakup?
Speaker 2: Well, so I think like they have seen each other
once in a while. He'll just like show up at
the house like, hey, hey, missus Carolla. I'm like, oh,
Griffy so and every time I see him, I'm like,
oh my god.
Speaker 1: I give him a big hug, like he makes my
whole day.
Speaker 2: Like whenever I see him like comes up to the door,
I'm like, oh my god. And so then he'll go
and hang out in Italia and then I'm not and
then nothing. Then she doesn't talk about him or see him,
and then a week or two go by and there
he is again.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go get something to eat. So they're hanging out.
Speaker 2: They're still hanging out, but you know, once school starts,
I don't know how they're gonna maybe they want to
stay together, just saying like she's like, we you know,
we did break up, but now we're still kind of
like we're really good friends. We want to stay in touch.
But once school starts, he's going to be in Italy,
and how's that's not gonna work?
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, So it's almost they'll see how it goes.
And does Elbe have a boy or she no, so Elbie,
I think I told you. Well no, So she broke
up with that straggler boyfriend that she's been talking to forever. Yeah,
they they broke up for good, hopefully. And yeah, she's
just been doing she's been dating, she's been you know,
enjoying herself and she has definitely she's gone on like
a few dates. But she told me, like, I don't
want to date anybody. She just like, as she says,
she don't want to get wiped up until at least
she's in school, so that it has some promise of
you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, accessibility, Like there
was somebody that she went out with, but who's you know,
on break for the summer from school on the East Coast.
So's She's just like, what's the point, right, Like I'm
going to be here and he's going to be there,
So like I want to wait and see how school goes.
Yeah that's great, that's a healthy outlook for her. Yeah,
that's good. Yeah, she's been I mean, it's funny because
I don't think like Albis, Albi is not spoiled. But
at the same time, as as you know, and you
and I have talked about this a million times. It's
really difficult. We don't want our kids to suffer. We
want them to We want them to feel like they
come from stability and their needs are met, you know.
At the same time, we want them to be realistic
with like, like, I don't know. If I want LB
to have her car at UCLA, she can try to.
She can try to apply for a parking space. Her
building where she's going to be does not have parking,
so I would have to or she would have to
apply for a parking space on the somewhere on the
campus of UCLA and probably pay a lot of money
for that parking space and then get herself from her
apartment to the parking lot anytime she wants to use
the car. Right, And her job that she has right now,
she's she's not gonna work hours at that job. So
she's gonna quit that job. Well, she's gonna she's going
to take a break from that job and maybe work
like next summer, or maybe pick up some shifts over
the winter. Okay, no, but she's not gonna officially be
on their schedule right because it's gonna be kind of far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Natalia too, she's gonna she's giving her two weeks now,
it's pretty soon, yeah, because she's gonna be you know,
they need.
Speaker 1: A hostess all the time. Like, I mean, she's been
working a lot, so once she's gone, they're gonna have
to replace her. Right, So Elbie's not gonna be yeah
at this job. So my point is unless if she
was going to be working there like every weekend, I
could see her needing a car. But my feeling is
like car insurance is exorbitantly expensive. She's gonna have no
income at least right at the beginning until she finds
a job. There are like on campus jobs that I
think she could find, And my feeling is like, Uber,
you're gonna be in Westwood. Yeah, there's a lot of
public transportation. Like figure it out, and somebody will think
answer her mind. She's like, but I'm gonna be like
a junior in college and like people have cars at
this point. I'm like, but you, but you might not
because you're living in an apartment that doesn't have parking.
So I think you're gonna be in the same boat
as a lot of people. And if for some reason,
you get a job that you have to drive to
every day, which I don't think is going to happen
for a while, then we could revisit it. Yeah, I agree,
that's that's good. Yeah, but yeah, I'm like, you're you're
You're not the one who pays for this car insurance
which is insane, right, yeah, and your cell phone bill
and all these bills. Like she's just in college and
room and board. Uh huh, Like now I hear you.
Something's got to give, yes, So I don't know. Yeah,
I got it times too, you know. Yeah, I just
think that she's going to be in for some life
lessons of what that's going to be like. And I've
told her over and over, you got to save your
money at the job you're at, there's no reason that
you couldn't have saved money. But she's not saving money. Yeah,
So I'm like, that's gonna you're you need to experience
life being broke as exactly like we have been a
million times. And once you experience that, then maybe you'll
have a healthier fear of being broke and you'll make
sure you're working right.
Speaker 2: And that's like exactly like what I've been doing with Natalia,
Like she's just been living off of her paychecks.
Speaker 1: If she wants something.
Speaker 2: She's using her card and and and that's just gonna
get you know, this is gonna carry over into college.
And I talked to my friend Melissa. Her son is
one year ahead of my kids, and he's at University Oregon,
and she, you know, they made this whole deal, like, Okay,
the first year, we're gonna pay for this and that,
but then year two you got to get a job.
And now he's got a job, like one of the
campus jobs, and he's now being able to at least
pitch in for his car insurance and for the others,
you know, right the other state.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's all you.
Speaker 2: Really if they're going to college full time, you know, Okay,
we'll give you a year, but then after that it's
like you're gonna have to pitch in for your car
and stuffy or not have it right or not have
it anyway.

a money saver Hungry Root. Oh so I got my

laying in bed and watching TV? And oh my gosh,
yes for our Friday Day show. But I will tell
you this. I was I was severely running out of
things to watch. I'd watched everything that I could think
of that was you know, HM on my on the
queue or that was for me, And then I was like,
you know what I was looking? I was on Max
and I thought, are we not allowed to call it
HBO anymore. Now, I say HBO Max when he said,
it's not even HBO Max. Now if you go to
your HBO Max, it's an Yeah. Anyway, I was like,
you know, that show Divorce is so freaking funny. I
love it so much. And she's like, and you know,
I haven't watched it in like a couple of years,
so it's all going to be brand new to me.
I know, right, I want to now, I want to
watch it again because you're the only person I've ever met.
Speaker 2: That watched it and fucking fell in love with it.
It's been I mean, how long has it been out.
It's been out for a few years, probably ten years old,
ten years. I think it came out in twenty fourteen.
I think it sounds about right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And look that up for us, and it's
Jessica Sarah, Jessica Sarah, Jessica Parker, Jessica Molly Shannon plays
her best friend who's great, and then she's married too funny,
she's hilarious, and then she's married to the other guy
that's that actor's great. Yeah, Tracy something is his name,
and he's super funny, super funny. Just like so acerbic
and like pissed off all the time and just like
a dick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tracy lets yeah. And it first aired in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, there you go. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, and then Thomas Hayden Church that's his name, who
plays the husband, who steals the show for me because
he's just fucking great. He's so funny, and she's just
the straight woman and and all of these characters. She's great.
It's just a funny, clever show. It's about divorce, and
it's two seasons.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of what Sex and the City what
and just like that should have been, yes, because it's
very Sex in the City in a weird way, except
that it's about that. It's not Sex and the City,
but it's about But they're older, they're in their fifties,
and you know, they have two little young, young young kids.
They well, yeah, so Sarah and Sarah Jessica Parker and
her husband who they're about to get divorced. Their kids
are like teenagers, were they Yeah, because there are things
like eight or nine. No, no, no, no, they're a
little bit older because she's in high school. A lot
of this. The younger daughter is in high school. Okay's
he's like sixteen and she's like fourteen. I think when
it starts, or maybe she's thirteen, but then right, if
she's fourteen, because she plays for the high school basketball team,
and I think that must be.
Speaker 2: Season two, right because yeah, one I remember she was
washing the.
Speaker 1: Dog and the bathtub. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And he walks in and he's like, let's go google it.
Let your mom figure this out.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. There's so many funny lines. And
you texted me. I told you I was watching it
and you said, oh my god, I love uh. Please
to meet you, Please to meet you. The church scene
because he goes to church. He's so funny and he's
saying like, please to meet you and everybody, and she's
like it's it's peace be with you. And he's like,
oh good, oh that makes sense. Yeah. He's so dry
and just like committed to every stupid thing, and she's
every woman that's just like, oh my god, are you
fucking kidding, like you're such a dorky to their husband, Yes,
And they're in therapy and he finds out that she
has a lover. Yeah. He insists that he's a French guy. Yes,
he's like, so he's French and she's like, he's not French,
She's not a Frenchman and he just keeps saying it.
Then and then she's like, how many times? I want
to know how many times you had sex with him?
If we're going to try to work on this, you
need to tell me all the details. And she's like,
oh my god. And he goes how many times? And
she goes, I don't thirty thirty two? And he goes,
what two? And he goes, I had a totally different
number in my head. And she goes, what number did
you have in your head? And he goes two. I
love that you have a good memory. I love that show.
Then every time he brings it up, he's like, and
then you had sex with him like seventy five times whatever.
She's like, oh my god, I know. And it's such
a great show.
Speaker 2: You guys you could need to check it out, especially
if you're going through a divorce too.
Speaker 1: Uh. It's it's fun and it holds up. And I
don't know that i'd ever watched season three all the
way through. There's six episodes. There's season three. Yeah, I
thought there was only two seasons. There was a third
season and it's good and it's only six episodes. Oh
my god, I gotta watch it. Yeah, oh wow, it's
a great show. It got very mixed reviews, but I
loved it. It was very helpful because that was a day. Yeah,
that's good watching every episode of that, right. I also
started watching again Enlightened, and that's that Mike Laura dern Oh.
I don't think I ever saw that Mike White, where
she has like a kind of a breakdown at her
job and because she's really so, she basically sleeps with
a guy at her work and then he blows her
off and then she gets like she completely like loses
her shit and screams at him and then leaves, and
then she has to go to kind of rehab basically
mental health. And so the series starts where she's gotten
out of rehab and she's like, oh my god, I'm
so like zen and I had such a great time
in rehab and it was like so great. But she's
like obsessively calling the guy at work and she's like,
I just think we should talk. He's married, yeah, and
she had like a little affair with him, and she's like,
I'm totally fine. Now I'm better, Like, but we're gonna
be working together, I'm gonna be coming back to work.
So I just think that we should like, we should talk,
and he won't respond to her, and she just keeps
calling him, and then she goes by his house and
it's like, oh yeah at the beginning that she's still
kind of crazy. This is enlightened. Where where is it?
Where do you see it? Another Max show? Another Max shows.
Speaker 3: That reminds me of The Valley. Remember the guy that
we all hate, the douchebag. When he goes away to
do his mushrooms experience, so he'll change for his wife,
and then he comes back with the beanie on. He's like, oh,
it changed my life. And then by the next episode
he's just right back to being a FuG.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right in the Valley. The Valley. Yes, yes, yawning.
Oh my god. These actors are so good in this.
Speaker 2: And then really I thought I watch that, I've seen it,
but I never I was like, eh, I've never watched it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So she had this sort of high powered job,
but then she they don't have that job for her anymore.
So they it's basically like they're putting her in the
mail room. They kind of put her away with these
other sort of outsiders and she anyway, it's really funny.
I'd like that. So I started watching that, and then
you know, I should we should save one. Now let's
talk about yeah for Friday. Yeah, I got this. I
watched an episode that was outrageous that I'll have to
tell you about. Of A, it's a it's a it's

when I got in bed, I was like, I want

series that's like a true crime doc. So I started
watching and every episode is different and it's about like
any like crimes that happened through the Internet, through cybercrime.
