Speaker 1: Made a decision.
Speaker 2: Face sunny sun ahead on I had visions night.
Speaker 1: So what's up, everybody? Happy fourth post of July.
Speaker 3: Yes, guys, guess where we're not.
Speaker 1: We're not at a parade. No, we're not at a parade.
Thank god, second parades. I would much rather be here.
Speaker 4: We're not at the beach either. No, not at sitting
in a swimming pool up to our waist. No, trying
very hard not to get our hair way.
Speaker 3: No, we're not. We we we were at our job. Sorry, Sally.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we gotta go.
Speaker 3: Yep has calls.
Speaker 4: Take care of the kids while we're gone. We're going
out to bring home the bacon.
Speaker 3: We're going out to complain about you guys.
Speaker 4: But Kaylin's here, everybody, he's not feeling well.
Speaker 6: All stay away from us, that's okay.
Speaker 1: Uh, Caitlin, I want to know this. I know you're
not feeling well and you have a little sore throat.
But you went to Yosemite. I did you brought your dog?
There were some kids there. One of them pulled your
dog's tail. Yeah, tell us the story.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 7: So Dawson, the sound guy for Crole Digital Dude, he
has a buddy that's got this cabin up, you know, Semi,
it's beautiful. And I might have told the story on
f col the last time when my dog jumped in
the river and then it took him down the river
and I had to go chasing after him.
Speaker 6: It was a whole big deal, so scary.
Speaker 7: But luckily the river was a lot more calm this
time around, so he was able to plant it. But yeah,
so we went up to Yosemi. We stayed up in
the cabin for about three days.
Speaker 3: So was it you said it was a couple of families.
Speaker 7: It was the guy's family and his two kids and
his wife, and then another one of their friends brought
his two kids.
Speaker 3: So all of you guys fit in one cabin. Yeah,
how long is the cabin?
Speaker 7: The cabin and they bought it in like the sick
and then they redid it a bit after that. The
kids were all between like I think, I think the
youngest girl was maybe like seven, and then the oldest
boy was like nine. They were all between like two
years apart. Yeah, two boys and two girls, Okay, And
so there's like there's three rooms and two of the
rooms have two bunk beds in them, so there's at
least four beds in twos and there's like the main
bedroom ward where they sleep.
Speaker 3: So okay, so all the kids slept in one room.
Speaker 7: No, the one dad and his two kids slept in
one room, and then like kind of the family slept together,
and then me and Dawson.
Speaker 6: Were in our own room as well. Yeah, we put
the dogs in there. Nose.
Speaker 7: These beds were from like are like from the sixties.
They're like literally the worst, the worst bed I've ever
slept in my life. I was able to get a
sleeping bag. The first time I went up there, I
didn't even sleep in the beds. I sleep on the
couch one night, and then the second night I slept
outside on a truck bed because I wanted to sleep
under the star, so pulled the couch pillows off and slept.
But this time I had a sleeping so I slept
in there. But yeah, so the second night we were up,
the second family came up. The first family was already there,
and we got there. The second man came up. Oh,
everybody loved my dog, Ringo. They're all playing with him,
and he like playing with them, and it was fine,
but then at one point he kind of yelped, which
he had done a couple of times, just you know,
because he was bugging the other dogs to play with him.
Speaker 6: The wouldn't do it.
Speaker 7: But he yelped once when the kids were playing with him,
and then he started like walking funny, and he wouldn't
like really let anybody get near him anymore.
Speaker 6: And I got really worried, and I didn't know what
was wrong with him.
Speaker 7: And his tail was like so far down is between
his legs, and so I was worried he might have
got bit by something, and he wouldn't let me see it.
Every time I tried to grab him, he tried to
bite me. So we ended up figuring out that it
was one of the kids yanked on his tail when
he was up there, So I had to get that
out of her. The next day, I asked her if
she pulled on his tail. She was like yeah, and
I was like, okay, so that's what happened. But eventually
the next day, he h.
Speaker 3: That's how it starts. That's how the serial killers.
Speaker 4: Right, she should just stay there, because I mean, like
she could be like the ghost of Carrie Stainer.
Speaker 5: I know, she should just carry on the tradition. Why
go home.
Speaker 7: It was actually, honestly, like the sweetest little girl had
ever been.
Speaker 6: Like she was.
Speaker 1: Absolutely they all start out that way, Kaylen.
Speaker 7: Well, the two the two of the kids were a
little they were kind of nightmares, and then the other
two were.
Speaker 6: Kind of like picture perfect kids. So it's kind of
funny the balance of the two.
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny. It's really funny. So is the
dog okay though, Yeah.
Speaker 6: He's fine. He went back to normal after I played
with him the next day.
Speaker 5: Of it, so Ringo like bounced back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, next day he was right his rain again.
Speaker 5: I just feel it's so funny that Kaylen.
Speaker 4: You know, you have a sense of responsibility when you
have a dog, obviously you got to take care of
it and everything. And it's like Kaylen has never had
to take care of anybody but himself his whole life.
Barely can do that, and and now he's got the dog,
and it's it's stressful, right, like if something when something
would go wrong with Molly or whatever when I first
got her and I would be like, what's the why
is she? I gotta take her to the she Okay,
do I have to take her to the vet. You
gotta make those decisions should I take her should I not?
And you're you're you get a little little dose of parentage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, does the diny spring, because that's what happens when
you have a baby.
Speaker 7: It's definitely the worst when you think that there's like
something wrong and like, oh now I'm gonna have to
take them to the vet. Am I gonna pay for it?
I'm just gonna cost It's like a hole that'll just
throw your whole day.
Speaker 6: Out of whack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I remember ease up on the bong loads.
With babies, you're like, well, you just constantly think they're
gonna die. Yeah, Like you're no matter what you do
with it, you're like, oh my god, they got too
much sun Did they have some poisoning?
Speaker 3: What if they die from some poisoning?
Speaker 1: You're just because your whole goal twenty four to seven
is keep the baby alive, whether it's listening on your
monitoring not looking at their.
Speaker 4: And then you're like, oh shit, you read about all
the chemicals in the sunscreen, like I just poisoned my
baby with sunscreen?
Speaker 3: Yeah right right?
Speaker 1: Or you when you start feeding them their foods, you're like, oh, oh,
they weren't ready for food.
Speaker 3: They're gonna choke.
Speaker 1: They're gonna choke.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You watch them constantly.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, was the cheese shredded finally enough for
them to eat? Maybe they're too young to eat a cheerio?
And then you have your second kid and you're like.
Speaker 4: Whatever, looking off the ground, eat cheerios off the floor?
Speaker 5: Okay, here's no prom.
Speaker 1: I let Sadie once when she was really little, like
eat a gumball off the floor at the mall. I
remember I was with a friend and they were like
that fall on the floor and I was like, eh,
up there and films up there, little batchulism. Right, you
never killed anyone exactly, not recently, not recently.
Speaker 3: It is kind of funny.
Speaker 1: And you do start waiting to take them to the vet,
you know, you start going.
Speaker 3: Like should I take them?
Speaker 5: Should I not?
Speaker 1: Even when the doctor's like even when I'm right in,
You're like, well, I'll give it a day.
Speaker 4: But when we had Molly and she got bit by
the rattlesnake, like three weeks after we got her, and
she came back in with a big old golf ball
and like two fang marks, and I'm like, I think
she got bit by something. And I's like, she's fine,
and I love revisionist history with Adam. Now he's like,
I I knew she was bit. I knew she got
bit by a rott I just didn't want to alarm you.
Speaker 3: No, you did not.
Speaker 4: I didn't re specifically. Remember I was on the floor
in the living room. You were behind me on the
couch watching TV. You didn't even get up. And look,
I'm like, she she's got a big ball like swollen.
Speaker 1: She was just outside something bitter.
Speaker 4: I didn't even think rattlesnake because it was nighttime, it
was getting close to dark. And he was like, ah,
she's fine, and I'm like, no, she's not. She keeps
like going like she keeps putting her head down and
trying to wipe, trying to like hit it.
Speaker 5: Swat at it.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 4: Took her to the er. They said, bring her right in.
She got bit by a rattlesnake. M I'll never forget it.
And Adam, now, after I took her to the.
Speaker 1: Urgent care for dogs. Yeah, and they said bring her
to the hospital.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: I took her there. There's an er the vet clothes
at six. Then down the street there's an emergency Vet Hospital.
And I knew this because my friend had something with
her dog, so I knew where to go. It was
the hospital and I brought her in and there's the
waiting room, and I said, I think my dog got
bit by something.
Speaker 5: And at first she goes, oh, did she.
Speaker 1: Get bit by her by a bee's at a beasting.
Speaker 4: Then she looked and she saw the two fang marks,
and she said, oh, she got bit by a rouse Nate.
We gotta get her in now. She's gonna have to
stay in the hospital for a few nights. Her head
swelled up like a balloon. Oh no, yeah, yeah, it
was never told me told because we have so much
ivy in our backyard, and so she just stuck her.
You know, she's just nothing stopping her. She's going right
into the ivy.
Speaker 3: Bam. It was.
Speaker 4: It was in August, like August third, in the evening,
like eight o'clock, close to get eight at dusk, and
she came in and she this like big swollen thing,
and she didn't yelp or cry or anything. But when
they said she got bit by a rouse stick, she
needs to get in here, right, we need to get
to the ani the anti venom. But it's called ant vemo.
It's it's not venom. It's called anti something, but it
sounds like venom. But anyway, and we need to get
her on fluids and IV and everything, and so she
had to stay there for a few nights.
Speaker 3: Was it ever like touch and go or they like
in danger?
Speaker 4: She was in danger at first, but they said, we're
pretty you know this happens. Dogs get bit and you
caught it in time, and it's a good thing you
brought her in and uh and.
Speaker 1: Were you like, yeah, if it was up to my
boy was he your boyfriend? Was my boyfriend? It was
up to my boyfriend?
Speaker 4: Or was he my husband? I don't know my husband.
I think whatever. If it wasn't up to the guy
that I lived with with the big eyebrow that doesn't
stop talking, that guy, she'd be on death door. And
her head she never bounced back because she always had
the one she always had one faying mark on her
on her snout which never went away, which was always there,
but that was that was kind of cute. But her
head because it swelled up, so she got this big
turkey neck for the rest of her life.
Speaker 1: She had been a really pretty cute dog.
Speaker 4: I mean, she was a beautiful dog, and then she
had like a yeah, she had like a turkey neck
the rest of her life. And then when she got
older and didn't think ever about having a little like
a light boat.
Speaker 1: I did, but I felt, you know, she's been through enough.
Then she got the diabetes and then she got the cancer,
and I was like, ah, oh, that that's going to
have to be on the back.
Speaker 5: I love how Stephanie's all ended like dogs.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, now I am now she said dog so narcissistic.
Now that I have one. Now I'm like, tell me
more about your your dog. Now I'm interested. Molly had cancer? Really,
what how did you do? Oh?
Speaker 9: I know that.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I always felt felt terrible for Mollie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but anyway, so what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's fourth of July. Fourth of July, which means that
we're not going to do anything. I said to John.
I have a short memory too, because I was like,
how did Penelope do last year?
Speaker 3: Fourth of July? We stayed in last year because we
didn't know how she do.
Speaker 1: She was instill new to us, and John was like, terrible,
she was really scared of the fireworks. I was like, oh, Okay,
I guess we're not going to leave her home then
and go do something.
Speaker 3: And he's like, no, we're not.
Speaker 5: We gotta go. I don't really like for July.
Speaker 3: I don't either.
Speaker 1: I never want to.
Speaker 3: First of all, nobody really likes fireworks.
Speaker 5: I know, I don't mean I know, see him.
Speaker 3: A Disneyland, Ye see him at other times.
Speaker 4: Pull him up on iTunes him, I'm on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Don't need to go sit somewhere crowded Every year we
rant about this, but let's for good reason, right, there's
no reason to go anywhere on the Fourth of July.
Speaker 4: No, I know it's always crowded. First of all, we
live in a park exactly. Think about that. That's really
we do.
Speaker 1: Think Jimmy Kimmel, you know, I'm friends with Jimmy Kimmel
of Late Night television.
Speaker 5: The Fat One.
Speaker 4: For Jimmy, he says he can have a party down
by the beach every year. And we went a couple
of years, and then after that we're just like, what
do we We can't like, first of all, there's nowhere
to park nowhere, and then if you do park, you
got to walk one hundred miles and it's just crowded,
and then after the fireworks are over, everybody's on the
freeway trying to get home and out of the beach area,
and it's just but guess where we're going to the beach.
Speaker 5: Not to Chimney's, but we're going to Malville.
Speaker 1: Why I don't know, just because.
Speaker 3: So we're not and uh, I don't know what we'll do.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll maybe we'll go swimming in our neighbors pool
next door. Is there any holiday that me and you
both like now that I think about it, Well, we
don't like Halloween because, first of all, the costumes.
Speaker 3: That's an issue, always.
Speaker 5: Whole issue, that's a whole and I got a Halloween.
Speaker 1: We don't like getting booed, right, We don't like getting
We don't like haunted houses and Nashvial that boods. I
don't like costumes in general. I don't ever want to
dress up in a costume, right. I sort of like
the walking around the neighborhood when they're young. That's fun,
that's fun and cute, and them getting excited about it
is cute, But there's just there's so much involved, to
much parent involvement. I mean, we don't love Christmas because
we do a lot of work, a lot of work,
a lot of work, a lot of the elf needs
to then the elve's got to come out. Elf can
eat me. And we do not like Valentine's Days, all kinds.
Speaker 5: Of problems, nothing but trouble.
Speaker 1: We like we got a flag day easy.
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 5: I like a Thanksgiving? I like giving. You like Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: But I don't have to. But that's because my sister
in law and I like it too. We order from Gelson's.
It's fun, it's family. I like hanging out with my brother,
and I like my niece and nephew. And yeah that's fun. Okay,
I don't that's it though, I'm good. Yeah, what else
is there?
Speaker 3: Any New Year's Eve? New Years?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, no. What did you like in your twenties?
Like what when you were you? And I'll tell you.
I liked Halloween. Yeah, I like Halloween because I loved
going to those parties, like the house parties, yes, with
the DJ. And I'd like to be like not myself,
dressed like somebody else, like a gas station attendant, like
right right, and pick up on girls in the bathroom,
let me feel your boobies. And I don't know, I
liked I liked Halloween. Halloween was fun. There was always
a party. Yeah that's it wasn't at my house.
Speaker 1: But I kind of liked Valentine's Day only because it helped,
you know, prove if somebody actually was into me. Like
that was why you separated the wheat from the chaff.
Is Like, Okay, it's Valentine's Day. If you're are you
my boyfriend or not? Because if you're my boyfriend, you
better be sending there better be some some flowers at
work exact if you're not my boy Like, but if
they don't call you and try to arrange a date
for Valentine's Day, then they're just some guy who's fucking
you right right, foody call. This took a turn. Yeah,
maybe it's the dark side. Yeah, but you know, I
was thinking, as I sometimes do. God, our kids are
at a good age.
Speaker 5: They are.
Speaker 1: Ilbe just went to camp. Uh yeah, today's Tuesday. We're
recording on a Tuesday. Albe went to overnight camp camp Hollywoodland.
She's got five days stint Monday through Friday, Okay, And
I was just thinking about how like how how.
Speaker 3: Just what a great kid she is and how easy.
Speaker 1: I might be listen, I'm not. I'm not going to
get you know, get too ahead of myself. She could
hit a bad teenage years.
Speaker 3: I don't know. She's a pretty sweet kid though, right.
Speaker 1: But out of the she had that that one year
of super bad anxiety. That was a tough, tough year
that I went through here with the podcast getting her therapy.
Speaker 3: She's way past that. Now.
Speaker 1: She's just such an enjoyable kid, up for anything. And
now she's a camp And it's like, I don't know,
I feel like my kids are at such an that's
such an easy, ron easy stage. They're still fun and
they still like they're still kids, and I still have
to like watch them out stuff that's do, stuff that's
age appropriate, and still take them places.
Speaker 3: But it's fun.
Speaker 5: I agree, No, they're not.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 5: I agree.
Speaker 1: We have our feet up in the corner office right now.
Speaker 3: We do.
Speaker 4: But I think this age I think Natalia is going through.
I think she probably wouldn't want be telling you this,
but I think she's about getting close to you know,
that time of the month. Really, I think she's very emotional.
I mean way, she's alright, she's always does.
Speaker 3: She have boobs, yeah, and does she have hair in places? Oh?
Speaker 1: And has she had it for a while. I think
they kind of sprouted recent then she's probably not going
to get her period yet. But hormones are happening for sure. Yeah,
she's all over the place. You know how, I know
because Sadie's Sadie's estrogen levels are not that high, as
I told you, So she's had the bo for a
few years. Then she has little boobies and she's got hair.
And but you know how how you can tell is
growth spurt. That's how I've been getting taller. The estrogen
starts coming into their system before they get their period
and they start growing.
Speaker 5: Really m okay, hmm.
Speaker 3: Has she gotten taller?
Speaker 4: She's always been tall. I don't know if she's had
a growth spurt. I got her other friends and who
I do know that have it. I see that they've
they they've sprouted and they've gotten taller and leaner or whatever.
Speaker 5: I didn't really see it yet with her. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4: She was just a emotional mass yesterday because I spent
the whole with them. We were in the pool and
we're listening to music. Of course, we listen to the Beatles,
and then after that, finally, like King Santino decided to
grace himself with grace us with his presence because he
wanted to be inside the whole day because he oh
my god, he won the championship. But anyway, the night before,
which is insane, that's a whole other story. But she
just we were outside sitting by the pool, and he
was like, can we listen to other? Can we listen
to something else? And I was like, yes, we can.
And so Sonny's been doing these tournaments where we kind
of take at least I say road trip, even though
it's like in Chatsworth or Canyon Country. It's not that far.
But hey and I get in the car and I play.
I say what do you want to hear? And he's like,
I want to hear Van Halen eruption Running with the Devil,
like he knows.
Speaker 5: All the songs. Nice I started playing that.
Speaker 4: So yesterday he says, I said, He says, can we
hear something different? I say, yeah, what do you want
to hear? And he's like Van Halen? So I did
to tell you? He's like no, no, And then she
starts feeling like it's two against one it's like we're
on we're teaming up against her. Is how she sees
it that, you know, I said, Natalia, relax, We're going
to listen to a couple of our songs and we'll
listen to what you want to listen crappy music you
want to listen to? No, she has, she has, Okay,
she wants to hear the Hamilton soundtrack for the one hundred
and eighty one thousandth time. And I've had an ass
full of it, got it, heard it, know exactly who
everybody is, Delilah and Liza and Penny and all of them.
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear it one hundred and fifty
five times. And I still take that over what my
kids play over and over, which is this fucking Rolex song?
Speaker 5: Which is the Rolex You.
Speaker 3: Know that song? Is it the Brita just wanna ro
ro ro Leana?
Speaker 1: Yeah. I won't put up with that, my god, Oh
my god, yeah no, I must hear it twenty times
a day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So she just was like crying and then she left
and got it, went inside and it was like, you know,
and then last night at dinner, I don't know she
I think she feels like the two of us are
ganging up against her, like they had this whole argument.
Speaker 5: So we ordered dinner. It was just the three of us.
Adam was working son. He got a.
Speaker 4: Cheeseburger, but he got a hamburger, had a little bit
of cheese. He doesn't like cheese on his hamburger. So
when he left and he came back. When he left
to go to the bathroom, I go, he's not going
to eat that. And she's like, I think he will.
And I said, I said, he's no, no, wait, I
don't remember. Yeah, he's not gonna eat that. She said,
she said she thought he would. And so then he
came back and we let him in on what we
were doing doing and so those two started talking. And
then now he somehow got a cut out of the money.
I said, I bet you she's one hundred dollars from
her birthday that's sitting on her dresser.
Speaker 5: And I said, I.
Speaker 4: Will, I will give you one hundred dollars if he
eats that. If he doesn't eat it, I'm taking your
hundred dollars or whatever. And then she cut him in
on it. So he wants like fifty to fifty and
she's like, no, no, no, no, no. So anyway, they do
this wheeling dealing thing, and turns out he did eat
the hamburger. Therefore I'm out one hundred bucks, which never
ever pans out anyway. It's right, there's an argument and
then it goes away. Nobody ever brings it up. I
don't give him one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5: I do it all the time. I give you a
hundred dollars if you know. Oh yeah, it never happens.
Speaker 4: So I'm out the hundred bucks and she's crying and
I'm like, why are you crying?
Speaker 1: And he's like, big guys, you too, are giving.
Speaker 5: Him my money. I earned it a blah blah blah blah.
And I'm like, you were wheeling and dealing.
Speaker 4: You made a bet with him. I saw you make
the bet. But that doesn't mean he doesn't. She just
doesn't make any sense. She's crying the whole dinner, and
I was like, I have a headache, now let's go,
and then we leave and now she's fine, and it's like, wow,
she's just all over the mask.
Speaker 1: Sadie is the same way. What the flametta I'm not kidding.
Speaker 5: Is she always been that way?
Speaker 4: Or because I know, well, yeah, okay, but it's like intense, yes, intense.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the puberty, it's the hormones. Because Sadie is
like that too. She just and if something exacerbates it,
like she's tired or she's hasn't eaten right, then enough
that deer or whatever, then it's just like it's over
the top.
Speaker 3: It's right.
Speaker 1: It's like crying, inconsolable, going in a room.
Speaker 3: I'm like, go out of the world.
Speaker 5: I can't, I know, And then they get mad.
Speaker 4: She gets mad at me if I don't console her,
if I don't go to her side of things, and
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1: Like what's fair is fair?
Speaker 4: We want to listen to Van Halen, that's fair, you know,
we'll listen to your songs and we listen to our songs, uh,
you know, or whatever deal you made with Sonny. What's
fair is fair, and what's yours is mine, what's mine.
Speaker 5: Is mine, and that's that.
Speaker 1: So, so Sonny won his championship.
Speaker 4: So Sonny's been doing these championship tournaments with a team
that he made, but they've never really played games. All
they do is these tournaments. We're going to Vegas in
the week to do more tournaments, right, and they've gotten
their ass kicked the whole time. So out here, he's
been doing all these tournaments in California since this since
he started up with the Tea.
Speaker 5: And they the scores have been like sixty four to four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had a few of guys two with our Valley.
Speaker 4: Stars, right, so they get blown out right constant. Now
they've added Okay, the reason, one of the reasons is
Matthews and he's other best friend has not been able
to play because he's been doing baseball baseball. But this
weekend he can play. And that boy can play. He
can play some basketball. And then Noah is another pow
of his who's as tall as me. He added, he's
our shack. Now now he's and he's aggressive. So now
we got Matthew's a powerhouse, and you got Noah. Now
are beating everybody. And now, like my girlfriend Jody, God
bless her, she was like, I'm freezer bird, my bosses
are gone. What are we doing for Fourth of July?
I'm coming over? I said, Oh, come over on Sunday.
I forgot about the tournaments. Come over Sunday.
Speaker 5: Fine.
Speaker 4: Then I find out, Okay, he's got a tournament. So
the coach, he only he tells us shit like this.
The tournament is on Saturday at cal State University Northridge.
Speaker 5: Okay, see there.
Speaker 4: Then one dad plot pipes up and goes, can we

last the time right, and he says dark the dark building.
So I pull up at Seaside and it's like every city.
It's like a city, and like, where are we supposed
to go? And how come all the parents fine? Find it?
Speaker 5: Just fine?
Speaker 4: How come Sunny and I are only losers running around
campus going where's the dark building? Where's the tournament's happening?
There's nobody around because it's holidays. Why is it that
everybody else found it? So texting machine? What the where
is everybody? So we find it? We go it's so
it's a three o'clock game, and then if they win,
we come back tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Okay. So tomorrow's Sundays. Jody's coming over Sunday.
Speaker 4: Oh, I said, ah shit, Okay, so they won, right,
So I said, Jody, We're just gonna go to the
There's a two o'clock, of five o'clock and a seven o'clock. Okay,
if he wins the two o'clock, then we stay for
the five o'clock and if he okay, So she's like, well,
i'll go, I'll go.
Speaker 5: Oh he's I go. He's not gonna win.
Speaker 4: They haven't been winning except last night they did win,
but maybe Matthew won't show up or maybe not, who knows.
Their whole mojo's off. So she's like, all right, I'm
down for one game, but three games? Does he have
to really play three games? And I was like, no, no,
it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 3: So we go.
Speaker 4: They win the first game, okay, then the game so
she's like, so now we're gonna stick around for it,
and she's a good sport so she's like, I'm She's like, dude.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna make Sunny leave. He's having a good time.
Speaker 4: So we're sticking around and then all of a sudden,
the coach walks up and goes, okay, so we'll meet
back at the Seasun over at the Seasun building.
Speaker 3: Oh no, this was we were at a high school.
Speaker 5: I was like, are you fucking hot? Really?
Speaker 4: You didn't want to tell us this before, like, hey, parents,
tomorrow is the tournament's first game. High School Chatsworth second
and third game or back here where we are at
seasun No doesn't tell us that until half hour.
Speaker 5: You know, we're.
Speaker 4: Wandering around like Marrow, sitting outside eating like whatever they
had at the vending machine. And then he's like, yeah,
good game, all right, So all right, so I'm gonna
get in the car and go meet you guys over
go where. And he's like, we're going to see son
I was like, what the so then Jody and I
get in the car. So anyway, bottom line, Sonny is
not doing very well. He's on the bench most of
the for most of.
Speaker 1: The first Then.
Speaker 4: The second game he got up and he was playing,
and he did he did well. He was he was
scoring points. But then it got down to the wire
and the coach wants means business, so you know, he's
putting Noah in. Matthew doesn't sit the whole three games.
He does not sit, not once, and he's point guard
the whole time. And they carried us to victory. We
won the championship.
Speaker 5: They won.
Speaker 3: That's amazing, bad news bears.
Speaker 1: But I was like, huh, but but Sonny didn't really
do that much. Yeah, and I feel bad that's the
thing with sports, that's the the thing.
Speaker 3: It's the thing dilemma.
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's not that fun as as
a parent if your kid's not really like, what's the
point why it does it have to be all about winning? Right?
Speaker 4: Well, if I'm here on out, it's going to be
about winning because they're gonna want to be on the
varsity teams and you know, they're it's all about you
make the team, and you don't make the team, and
it's like, you know what if the next cut goes
and he cuts Sonny. You know, I don't know. It's
just it's yeah, it's but you know what it's It's okay.
He was having a ball. He didn't he didn't care,
and he was like, you know, we were talking about
it and Joe he's like, so, you know, asking him,
like trying to see if you know she pointed out
but like you know, and he's like, yeah, you know,
I didn't play that much, but uh we had Matthew,
we had no uh they didn't you know whatever, whatever.
Speaker 5: I don't know, and it's it is what it is.
Speaker 4: But uh they won the championship was which was incredible
and I was happy, and now we're going to fucking.
Speaker 5: Vegas for five days.
Speaker 3: Nice five days Xander.
Speaker 1: Also, I mean, I don't want to brag. I'm not
trying to steal Thunder from Sonny. But he started a
Roadblocks party and got four hundred likes.
Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, what's a Roadblocks part?
Speaker 3: Roadblocks? What is that computer game?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Roadblocks? Told me about that and not how many likes?
Speaker 3: A lot of likes on his party apparently, how do
you have a.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's a bit like a championship.
I mean, yeah, you know it's a competition, right for sure?
Speaker 4: What exactly you know what it is?
Speaker 3: He was, and he told me the longest fucking story
about it too.
Speaker 1: He played it for hours, and I was like, you
know what, you need a break from that. So we're
going to go to TJ Max because it's my birthday tomorrow.
And he didn't get me anything yet, I know, So
I told him, We're going to go to TJ Max

the place where there's like handle the lotions that smell good.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows I like stuff that smells good, So.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're gonna I'm gonna give you twenty bucks,
go pick me out something.
Speaker 3: And while he was doing that, he was just like.
Speaker 1: So, okay, have you ever played a computer game where
it's like where you build stuff where there's like a
blah blah blah. And he's trying to tell me about
textures and changing the texture and whole story about the
party and how do you get people in the party,
And it was a so long and boring.
Speaker 4: Well, and I'm sure if you asked him he'd say
the same thing about you and your Facebook parties.
Speaker 1: We're standing in line, and there were a couple other
parents that were like kind of overhearing him telling me,
and I got a lot of looks of like, oh
my god, been there, because.
Speaker 3: You know you have to go like oh my god.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, yeah, like how do you wait?
Speaker 3: So how did you get likes? Wait? So why did
you get more likes?
Speaker 1: And they're like that the other already told you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh no.
Speaker 3: He was just like, couldn't wait to tell me again.
Speaker 1: He was like, okay, all right, maybe like maybe I
just didn't understand the first time, Like he needs to
dumb it down.
Speaker 3: A little bit. Okay, here's what here's so you're in
the room, right and I'm like, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Well but yeah, so you got four hundred likes, so
that's four hundred people. Now, I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it means. No, I don't know
what it means. It's not really I don't know what
it is. I don't get it is just funny. Well,
your kid is like winning a championship. My kid is
like in his pajamas, play play basketball there.
Speaker 3: No, I know they do, they do, they do.
Speaker 4: But you can get big in a heartbeat, you know,
it's oh okay, you're gonna love this stuff. So I
would save it maybe for Patreon, but I'm I'm gonna
just risk it, okay, and just you know, I'm going
to live on the edge.
Speaker 3: That's so funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Okay, So there was a there's a kid
that used to live in our neighborhood. Okay, in our
old neighborhood in Hollywood, same age as Sunny n Italia,
except for he's one month. He was born in July.
They were born in June. They grew up together. Eddie,
the nanny of him, Uh and Olga became really close
nanny mafia nan Berie, as Adam says, when they go
over to our house, name the nannies used to go over, Okay,
and uh so yeah, nanny mafia. So Erica is great
and she like she was there. She was with that family.
They have an older daughter since day one. They move. Okay,
they moved to Europe and they're gone, and they moved.
They moved a few years ago. But this is in
our old neighborhood. So but they grew up with this
little boy Andy, okay, And.
Speaker 3: Andy is real name?
Speaker 5: No, Okay, I like that.
Speaker 3: That's a good one.
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: A lot of times I go for those seventies names,
that's all that's my go to. But you you found
a way to get a name that's like current but
also a little throwback. Rah.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Well if I told you the real name, it goes
with what we always talk about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like you know names.
Speaker 3: Right, it's corduroy something like that. It's not that bad
corner Prince blanket. But okay, go on.
Speaker 5: So all right, so this kid moves away.
Speaker 4: They the family moves to Europe and they want Erica
to go, and Erica can't because she has her family here,
but she's sad and depressed and whatever. And then she
gets a job with another family and her and Olga
are thick as thieves.
Speaker 5: They're like best friends.
Speaker 4: Okay, so once in a while, Erica and Olga will
be together and Erica will send Olga text of Andy,
you know, and look at him.
Speaker 5: And so Andy's.
Speaker 4: Parents are are super sweet, super nice, but I wish
I could be more like them, because they don't give
two foods. They don't give no focks at all. They
just are gonna be a little pushy if they have to.
And they the mom is stay home.
Speaker 3: The mom is a s European.
Speaker 4: They live like the Europeans kind of except house from
Europe or they now. They grew up in America. But
she's always been very strong against the school system and
she doesn't like the the the typical conventional school system
of America, and she's always been against it, and she
had valid reasons. You know, I didn't know where she
was ever going to send her kids, but we never
got to that point because by the time the kid
was going into elementary school, they moved got it. So
now I find out, like you know, they keep in
touch once in a while, like they'll send an email.
Speaker 1: How's everybody doing.
Speaker 5: Okay, she stays home.
Speaker 4: She's homeschools little Andy and the older sister in Europe.
In Europe they have horses too. They're okay, horse fans.
So I guess they didn't like the school systems in
Europe either.
Speaker 5: I guess not. It's a good question.
Speaker 1: So she's better in Europe. Do they have American immersion schools?
Speaker 5: I think they do.
Speaker 3: You know, we have like French immersion schools.
Speaker 5: They must.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're like, you're just going to eat
hot dogs and learn English for seven hours.
Speaker 4: A day and make your parents get volunteered for everything,
your parents into everything.
Speaker 3: That's how they do it in America.
Speaker 5: I do it in America.
Speaker 1: Okay, So glue sticks out. So then she's homeschooling the kids.
So now we here.
Speaker 4: We keep in touch with him and his birthday's coming up,
and they I get to keep.
Speaker 1: In touch with the family or with the nanny. Well,
it's all like the family. Once in a while, I'll
get a text from the mom. Okay, Mandy will call her. Okay,
and uh so Mandy and I love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Eddica will keep us up to date then,
so they I get a text.
Speaker 1: From I gotta be careful now what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I get a text from Erica three days three days ago,
going into the weekend of this weekend of the fourth
of July, and says, Hey, good news Andy, and and
in town with the the you know, the whole family's
in town. They want to know. I didn't know that
they had a house in Vegas. I didn't know this.
They want to know if Andy's only thing he wants
for his birthday is to see Sonny and Italia and
wants to play with them and spend time with them.
Speaker 3: And that's weird.
Speaker 4: Once once a year they've been in touch, like he's
come out, like so last summer we saw him, okay,
And so when I talked to Sonny in Italia, I said,
you have fun with Andy? Yeah, you know, he's still
kind of basically arrested development. They didn't use those two words,
but those is what I got at. Like he still
likes to play, you know, shoot him up cowboy. He
makes a sound and uh, and it's like you know
they're they've moved on right, they're Pokemon's and uh, what's
the bracelets far?
Speaker 5: Ahead of the shoot him up cowboy.
Speaker 1: So I swear to god, I have such a parallel
situation that I'll tell you later.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So same, It's like exactly the same thing, right.
Speaker 4: So three days before the weekend, can they want to
take Sonny in Italian to Vegas?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, they want to.
Speaker 4: He wants to spend time with them, and we want
to know if they want to know. Mandy wants to
know if if they can take come pick up Sonny
Italia and take them to Vegas.
Speaker 1: Well, I drive the weekend. I didn't even know.
Speaker 5: I was like sure, I think I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: Because of course my brain was like, of course not,
and You're like yes, of course.
Speaker 4: At the time, I'm like checking out at Target not
you know, I'm doing three things.
Speaker 5: And I get text and I was.
Speaker 1: Like sure, okay, I didn't even think it. Oh she
did say.
Speaker 4: She did say we're all going to go together with
the family, and Olga would come too.
Speaker 5: She said, okay.
Speaker 4: Then I get home and I tell Olga about the text,
and Olga's like, yeah, this is news to me.
Speaker 5: I'll go. I mean, she does not like to go
to this.
Speaker 4: We've never traveled with Olga nout once and she doesn't
like to really sleep over. She's not like she likes
her alone. So she's like, if they're going, and you
want me to go with them, and you'd feel better
if I went, I'll sure, I guess. I was like, uh, okay,
so that's.
Speaker 5: A no from you, Sonny.
Speaker 4: Natalia Andy wants to know if you guys want to
go to vas and son he's like, yeah, I'll go,
and nat Tell He's like, no, I don't want to go,
and uh I was like okay. So you were talking
about it for a while, and Sonny was like, you know,
they know that he has no friends.
Speaker 5: That's the thing.
Speaker 4: He's a stay home kid who doesn't he doesn't have
he's not in any sports and he doesn't have any friends.
Speaker 1: And it's the parent's fault. It's not his fault.
Speaker 4: And so Sonny is like, I feel bad. I want
to see him. I do like him. I want to
you know, and totells like, I like him too, but
he's we don't have a lot in common with him.
He changed, he's changed. We're still hearn not four anymore,
we're eleven, and he's still doing you know, making that
sound a sound.
Speaker 1: And pem poo poo poo.
Speaker 4: That's right, and they don't want to like, you know,
And I was like, well that guy's sound, Sonny Vyanne.
Now if you don't want no, okay, well let's think
of something else. So then I have to go. Then

a party of four and five with the cake. Now
six coming over, but now it's dwindled down to two.
Speaker 1: And Andy and Sonny, who doesn't even want to really
see Andy in the first place. Now he's being held
hostage at the pseudo party. It's not a party, it's
just two kids in a vegan cake.
Speaker 5: Right and a nanny. What the fuck?
Speaker 4: And I was like, Jody, get your ass over here
as fast as you possibly can. And because she knows,
and she's like, oh, like you can just go inside.
I'll talk their ear off outside. That's what she's good for.
And I was like, good, that's why you're my friend,
that's why you're get over here.
Speaker 5: So she's like, I'm.
Speaker 3: Driving as fast as I can.
Speaker 4: So then the mom leaves, So now I'm like oh,
you take your time. Now, they're outside. I'm inside chilling, like,
Jody comes over, We're out, we're inside. Olda there, No, no, no,
I don't bother.
Speaker 1: Old Like this is Edika's thing, right, Why is Edika
even being put in charge of this? Because why do
they Why don't they give Edika the day off to
go sight see?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Well, she doesn't work because she doesn't work for them anymore,
and she misses the kids.
Speaker 3: Oh, she wants to.
Speaker 1: Come our little family, she cried.
Speaker 4: She was depressed when after they moved to Europe they
wanted her to go anyway, It's a whole fucking cashat
that ended up to not be such a because I
was like, why did I wipe those tables down? Now
I didn't even have to do that. Nobody's sitting at
the tables. So Sonny and Andy and Edika are outside,
and then something Italian Jody comes over and she's in
the mix talking to them, and and and then I'm like,
we gotta go, Sonny. By the way, it's it's time
to go for your tournament.
Speaker 5: We have to leave.
Speaker 4: And by the way, it's not at the cal State University,
it's at another high school. So get your ass out
of the pool and let's get go and get that
vegan cake on fire. By the way, no candles, no candles,
and no present for a little andy, So I'm now going.
And before they got there, I said, Sonny, what did
you get for your birthday that you're not using?
Speaker 5: Give it to me?
Speaker 4: And he's like a yeah, no, it's like nothing, you're
not nothing. You can't have anything. Give me one of
your gift cards you got and he goes no, and
I said, I'll just pay you back. Then then that
conversation ended. Then while they're like in the kitchen eating lunch,
getting ready to sing Happy Birthday, I said, Jody, we don't.
Speaker 1: Have any candles. Can you look for candles? While she's
looking for candles, I'm looking.
Speaker 5: For a gift.

like some like polaroid. It's not even a polaroid camera.
It's polaroid film for a polaroid camera with like a
string that you can hang like.

a polaroid camera, this would be great.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if he has a polo. Am
I gonna give him film for a camera and string
to hang pictures that he doesn't even have a camera for.
Speaker 4: So then I'm like, okay, I can't get on now.
