Speaker 1: Made de san ng. Okay, it's sunny. So what's up everybody?
Hey Stephanie. Yeah, there's supposed to be one hundred miles.
Speaker 2: Per hour of wings get it today?
Speaker 1: That's what I heard this morning.
Speaker 3: I heard that too.
Speaker 1: Can you believe that? I just heard that in the
on the way in. Yeah, that's no wary that means
no power.
Speaker 2: Oh oh shit.
Speaker 3: I just heard as I was coming in here too.
That's supposed to last for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Oh fuck me?
Speaker 2: Really, But I will tell you at least we're starting
for a better place. Hold on, I'm opening my watch
duty app. The Palisades fire is fifty nine percent contained.
That's amazing, and you're your fire. The Eton fire is
eighty seven percent contained.
Speaker 1: So basically, yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's just now. But
now new fires.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean knew when.
Speaker 3: I did my pond rounds on Friday, uh huh. And
you know, I had a lot to do because of
the fires and everything from kind of Somar to Locayata
was okay. Somar, I could see patches of you know,
burnt up up in the hills. There's lots of different
patches of burn stuff. But yeah, then I cruised through
the Altadena neighborhood just because I wanted to see. It's
you know, the police in the National Guard have like
that main neighborhood all blocked off. Yeah, but on the edges,
it's weird. It's like burnt down, burnt down, totally fine,
burnt down, burnt down, three houses, totally fine. It's kind
of weird like that.
Speaker 1: I know, it's really I was just I drove past it. Well,
I'll tell you. I'll tell you why I drove past it.
But do we have people we want to say hi
to you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure we can. We can talk. We can say
hello to our people. Hold on, that's an ad dick frolicker.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, he's still frolicking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, he sure is. And Stephanie's is still a
stinker wringer. And Athena is still wearing rocking that Mac lipstick.
Although her job she was working in the Palisades.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I used to think she worked in the South Bay,
but she can correct us. But she's she was working
at a Palisades.
Speaker 1: At a Max dore was it the Max store or
a department store?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Yeah, And Jacob is so grolly. He
checked in on us. Sandra, it's not easy being green, Jennifer,
get up. Aaron is still a dirty Sanchez through all
of it.
Speaker 1: She maintained, she keeps it consistent.
Speaker 2: Sarah's the final Leslie is still coughing this time. It's
from the smoke.
Speaker 1: It is the smoke.
Speaker 2: Not to make light of it, but like.
Speaker 1: Kelly Brandt, yeah, she's she'll take it.
Speaker 2: To uh an evacuation center. Yeah, we don't think it's funny.
Speaker 1: You guys always has a van gast up.
Speaker 2: Rebecca Lubin. I just want to congratulate our girl, Rebecca
because she just she had this math she's in school,
U huh and she was taking a really hard math
course and she got a ninety two on it.
Speaker 1: Wow, girlrains on Rebecca.
Speaker 2: I know, look at the big brains on Rebecca. Ishaan
voshpe is still as Missy and Gabby. They did not
take a math test.
Speaker 1: I thank you barely. They got one flip flop.
Speaker 2: Vision yep. Valerie Bubba Fenwick hits out of the park
in Katerina's got a moler that's gone gone rogue and
probably we live your pancakes. Rita, you're rocking all of
Elizabeth Williamson's kids in your Best and met Nikki call
your Girls, Katie's rolling on me and Kelly that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I yesterday, uh went to a center in Lincoln Heights,
which is you have to kind of go past Alta
Dina area because we volunteered my girlfriend Michelle, who I
used to work with at ABC. So there's a couple.
There's Michelle and Amber and Suzanne and myself. We got
together signed up for this organization that Michelle found, which
is amazing that it's this woman that created a purse company.
She owns it and I can't think of the name.
I wrote it down. It's a weird name, uh, but
it's kind of popular, Suzanne said, because she got one
for Christmas. It's called ku Yanna see you see you
y a n A sounds.
Speaker 2: Like a yeah see you. Yeah, that's an interesting name. Anyway,
I haven't heard of it. But the reason why I
haven't much?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't buy.
Speaker 2: Person Well you have, Why would you know about some?
Speaker 1: I don't know the brand? No, no, no idea who
that is?
Speaker 2: You're like Kyle Richards. You've got a burkin within a
burkin within a burk.
Speaker 1: Wallet right right, like the Birdhouse Burken or the you
know fifties Burken.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So the reason though I'm telling you this is because
she has connections with all these different clothing companies and
textiles and they you know, they're they there's clothing companies
that make all these different you know, denim clothes. Then
there's this company sheets they make sheets. Then there's she
had Brooklynnen donate that didn't get there until I think
that's coming this week. But that's the second phase of
what she's doing. So she got this huge like warehouse
and she has the way she just started I mean
obviously in the last week. So yesterday was our day
of helping her, organizing it and getting ready for families
for so tomorrow. The phase for today is they have pickers,
she calls them, and they're volunteers that they get a
sheet of the family, how many people are in the family, men, women, children,
their sizes, and then they pick what they need the
most necessary, the most urgent things that they need right away,
like these are people that are still in a shelter
at hotels. So they have this list, so you give
it to the picker. The picker goes through the warehouse
and gets you know, extra large men's and they need
like women's large because I saw a lot of extra large,
but a ton of extra large. So you go through
like you know, kids shoe sizes, kids shoes, like she
had everything you could think of to start, just to start,
like the basics, and then and then you she and
then she got suitcases donated, so then you take you
go through the warehouse, you get everything, you go to
the second floor and that's where the picker takes everything
to the second floor, it gives it to the packer.
The packer puts it in one of these extra large suitcases.
She had like just a whole two room filled two
rooms filled with these big suitcases packet and it goes
out to the families. And that's her first phase she's doing.
And then the second phase is once they get out
of the shelter, she's gonna get furniture, pots and pans, dishes,
all kinds of stuff for the second phase. But so far,
what she's done in like in one week is just amazing.
I mean it was you know the help of a
community and help, but with the connections that she has
because of the business, she's in. She was able and
all of the clothing that was donated is all extras
or whatever, like so it's a tax right off for
these companies. And I mean she just had really nice clothes,
Like some of them are just cardigan sweaters, like just
rows and rows of the same color cardigan sweaters and
like you know Jammy's Pageanta, nice pajamas, things, robes, everything
you can think of. So so yes, yeah, so yesterday
Suzanne and I were in charge of like so people
would drop off boxes. So picture you know, when you're
moving out of your house or you're cleaning, you're doing
a deep clean your bathroom and you open the drawer
and you got all these like travel size this travel
size that you know, it's like it's a drawer full
of like headache. Basically you have to go through it.
You get some shit like ointment stuck to your hands
as you're doing. So some people donate like just they
would dump all everything in like a bunch of these boxes.
And she gave Suzanne and I the job of going
through and getting the good stuff out, weeding out the
good stuff to the you know, stuff that's already been
used or whatever that's no good so we did that.
Speaker 2: I just interject that I find it really annoying when
people think they're doing a good thing, but I'm like,
let me dump out my junk drawer and someone else
will figure this out. It reminds me of how my
kids put everything in recycling, where I'm like, Okay, a
scrumpled up paper towel is not recyclable. Guys. It's like,
don't make me do the sorting. Don't make me when
I go to take out the recycling and go, okay,
that's not okay. The little piece of plastic on the
top of your lean cuisine that you peeled.
Speaker 1: Off not recyclable, guy. It's like, stop.
Speaker 2: But when I when I've had a couple of garage
sales and you do it for your school and people
just drop off like a bag, like a trash bag,
It's like, no, this isn't the garbage. Oh, you would
be surprised. I know, No, I wouldn't be surprised. You
have a problem. I'm saying, like the fact that you
had to go through and like when it caught me
when you said, like, and then you get like ointment
on your hands. Its people put new shit in there.
Everybody's got new stuff that they haven't used. Put that
in there that are you gonna put like half like
Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo, tiny travel size with half
in it.
Speaker 1: Yes, anybody gonna use that across a lot of that stuff. Yes.
So then he set up like you know, so they
yesterday before we left, she did a test run for
today for the for the pickers, and so my girlfriend
Michelle and Amber, they were in the back room with
like they would They're in the room where everything gets restocked.
Susanna and I we were in toiletries.
Speaker 2: So we listen to music.
Speaker 1: You know, I brought my earbuds. But no, I mean
the other room. There was a lot of rooms there.
That one room had music going. Okay, but yeah, now,
I mean but it was at least it was the
four of us in our little area. So we were
talking and catching up. But yeah, going through. So Suzanna
and I created this whole. It looked like by the
time we left, it looked like everything like a display
in a in a store. Like we had shelves and
tables of you know, toothbrushes, you know, hair dryers, hair brushes,
hair accessories, facial oh my, got the face creams. These
people drop off like just like very very expensive. Uh
you know, brands that you see in the department store
brand new, like in boxes, already brand. And then there's
companies that that dropped off. Facial Toner facial Oil that
there was a huge, huge, huge table of all facial
oils I use that, or or Toner's facial toners and oils.
We had to create a whole section dry shampoo.
Speaker 2: I mean it was just if if we're talking about
face oils. I love Keels Recovery, Midnight Recovery. I think
it's I wish if you're out there Keels and you
want to advertise on our show. I'm a consumer of
your product. Came telling you that I that I whenever
I run out I order, I re order it though
for through like eBay. Yeah, I try to get a
cheaper price, get through eBay. It's new. It's just a yell.
Speaker 1: So it's people that buy it and just don't open it.
Speaker 2: Anytime I have like a product that because this happens
to me a lot. It happens to me at Trader
Joe's where I fall in love with something that I
eat it all the time, and then they discontinue it.
But when it comes to like makeup products or things
like there's this one Mabeline stiletto eyeliner that I like.
I know that's surprising because I never wear makeup, but
when I do sometimes and I they stop making it,
so I just go to eBay and people will be
selling it new ones in the package.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of that, Yeah, makeup and stuff.
So yeah, it was it was fun. It was a
nice day, you know, it was it was uh, you know,
you feel good, like like you got something done, you know. Yeah,
and then you're driving into though, so you're passing the
fire area, which is I haven't seen yet. I haven't
gone in that direction yet, and it's like, yeah, like
Kaylin was saying, it's just it's sad, it's just horrible.
Speaker 2: So I agree that it's such an it's it's so
impressive how our community, though, has been together to help people.
And you know, one of the things that I thought
was really smart is Robin has a friend, like an
og mom friend who lost her house and she was
convinced by other friends to instead of just do a GoFundMe.
I don't know if she also has a gofund me,
but she did an Amazon wish list for stuff that
she needs to replace, and I thought it was so
great and convenient. I posted it on my Facebook wall.
And it's funny because at first, so I bought a
couple of the things off of her list. You don't
think sometimes about things that people need that aren't that
easy to just like bras. I imagine you leave the people.
This mom left her house. She evacuated thinking she was
coming back in like Cole days, so they didn't know
that it wasn't the fire wasn't so close at the
time that they were like, oh my god, we could
lose our house. So it was like, oh, we just
have to evacuate while they put out the fires in
the brush. So they brought, you know, the clothes on
their back and like yeah, maybe a few a few
changes of clothes and like that's it. And so now
they lost everything. So you don't think sometimes about stuff
that is your normal shit that you need like bras,
like shoes, like underwear, like and then but like maybe
other bags or like a computer bag or this or that. Anyway,
So she and the thing was that made me the
most sad was her the woman's kids. She has like
three kids, and they lost all the Christmas presents that
had just gotten. Yes, imagine de Saber twenty fifth was
only like two weeks before uh you know, yeah, two
and a half weeks before the fires. All their the
toys and stuff that she has like a young kid.
So anyway, this is like kind of heartwarming. So I
shared it on my on my wall, on my Facebook wall,
and I I was like, nobody's gonna see this because
freaking Mark Zuckerberg has implemented this thing where if you
try to post a link that takes you off of Facebook,
he doesn't. You can't see it on someone's wall. Oh
really a lot of times. Yeah, the algorithm is such
that if it's if you're taking somebody off, they can't.
But somehow people did see it, and people were like, oh,
this is a great idea, thank you, here's a concrete
way I can help. And then a mom that I
don't really that i've met one time. Okay, you know me,
I friend people on Facebook that like. So when Xander
was in eighth grade at this school, he made a
friend and he do you remember when oh my god,
who's the comedian who was hosting family Feud for a while.
Speaker 1: Steve Steve Harvey.
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey, Remember when Xander went to a friend's house
and they made a Steve Harvey cake.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2: Noting that the picture of from Instagram. It was so
sad that it was funny. Yeah. Okay, that girl the mom
I've met one time when I was picking Xander up.
So one of the items that they were looking that
they had for their kid was something they had to
do with Pokemon. And this random mom wrote on my
wall she was like, hey, I have a bunch of
Pokemon cards in storage, like when my kids were young. Like,
would this mom want that? So then I asked Robin,
she asks her mom. Friend. The mom's like, oh my god, yes,
I would be thrilled. So then yesterday or two days ago,
on Saturday, I went, I went, I was like, yes,
the mom would like it. Went to her house. This
mom had gotten together freaking shit ton of Pokemon cards,
like a huge box full of Pokemon cards, then a
binder you know how you do those like like for
CDs with audiastics, but with okay, she had one of
those full of Pokemon cars.
Speaker 1: Sense because kids grow out of it. Right, and then
you're stuck with all these Pokemon cars, right.
Speaker 2: So she gave that all to me. Then she'd also
gotten together some other like games and toys, and then
I so I went to her house picked all the
stuff up. Then I brought it to Robin's house. Then
Robin yesterday brought it to the mom and I guess
super thrilled. The kids were thrilled. And then there's like
a little community of these people who all lost their
homes and they're going to share, like because all the
kids that were like into Pokemon, they're gonna like divvy
them up or like. And she was really thrilled to
get it. And then it was really fun to like
watch I would go back to the list and watch
stuff get taken off, you know. And then and then
you see stuff where you're like this mom had prioritized
the stuff they need. And one of the things was
like some of slides for you know, like some these
yellow like I don't know, Nike slides sides, you know,
for she wrote, like for when I walk the dog
in the middle of the night, Like I just don't
realize the comfort.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course, yeah, everyday things that you're just gone
just gone, don't have anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I was like watching that and I was
so excited when those got.
Speaker 1: So it's a lot of people have been doing that.
Susanne's her boyfriend's children. They're grown now. They're at it
during college or out of college, some of them. But
they did this kind of the same thing. Amazon Wishless
had everything sent to their house, packed it all up
and gave it to the families of their friends that
lost homes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I recommend that. It's such a it's an
easy way to help, and it makes you feel you
feel because my thing has been mostly doing like donating
to people's go fund if I know them right, you know.
Speaker 1: Because it's now there's just so many nowhere it's going.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if it's a friend of a friend, then
I'm gonna give my I was giving like larger amounts
of money, but now I'm like, you know, just if
everybody donates, like a little bit of money. It's sad
that that's what has to happen, and it's just to
get people through to when they can. But rebuilding your home,
it's like, yeah, you might get FEMA, you might get
some temporary help, but like, how do you replace all
this stuff anyway. I know, you know what, speaking of
like support and Rula, we have a new sponsor called Rula,
and I think this is so important. It's online therapy.
They go through your insurance. They're a healthcare company, you know,
or they're a provider group, and they make it really
easy to use technology for the patients and the providers.
So I think that that's really really cool. They will
figure out they will get your insurance to cover it,
and you can have sessions as low as fifteen dollars.
Speaker 1: That's that's like as low as your any means.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, because and finding a therapist you trust shouldn't
be complicated, you know, or cost you a fortune. So
they're gonna connect you with high quality, vetted licensed mental
health professionals that are suited for you. And they most
of them take most major insurance plans. So here's what

and when it's freezing outside, we're all indoor humans. Right Lynette,
It's right, it's cold, and there's one thing that can
really stink up being stuck inside. It's the litter box.
But don't let that nasty smell run your winter wonderland.
Switch to pretty litter. Okay, this is like a new thing.
It is a great new product. It is a non
clumping formula. It traps odor and moisture. It's ultra absorbent,
it's lightweight, low dust, and one six pound bag works
for up to a month. Okay, that is a long time.
I have taken care of a lot of people's cats

to constantly change those litter boxes. That's a month. That's
really great, and you can do get it shipped right
to your door so you don't run out. You won't
have huge kitty litter bags taking up space. You don't

Terms and conditions apply sea Side for details Boom as
we say so. Yeah, quick story. Yeah that I think
is like kind of funny that I guess I forgot
to tell you about. But my kid's school is doing
a musical and it's.
Speaker 1: Grease and are they gonna say uh when he says yeah,
what does he say? Chisel cream, a grease, a light
And and you know, because I remember when our school
did it, they wouldn't let him say that. They wouldn't
let the guys say chixel cream. Yeah, they cut that out.
Speaker 2: Chick gonna cream. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure,
but I do think they are sticking too close to
the original. I guess the script. So I feel like
doctor Bruce right now, thrown papers everywhere, It's all on
my lap and whatnot. So so here's the funny thing though. Okay,
so they have these auditions and Xander's note knew about
the audition Xander and Sadie from before winter break even happened.
And our kids get three weeks off for winter break. Now,
is are my kids busy doing other things? Yes? Was
it like finals week? And then they had the speech
and debate thing and then he had to memorize his speech,
and like a lot was happening. Yeah, was he busy
over winter break?
Speaker 1: No, not at all, as soon as winter break is done,
as soon as they go back to school. The day
they were going back to school, they had auditions for
the music. Yeah, so I was like, okay, are.
Speaker 2: You working on it? And he's like, yeah, kinda yeah,
like learning the song.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: What he didn't do was watch the movie Grease.
Speaker 1: Okay, does he ever seen it?
Speaker 2: No? Oh really, nope. He vaguely knows the story, he's
heard some of the songs. He's heard the songs, but
the problem is he doesn't know any who the characters are,
and I don't think he knows that they talk like this.
Speaker 1: Hey, like, you.
Speaker 2: Know, he doesn't know they're all like the fawns, right,
none of that. So he wasn't prepared for the acting
part of the audition. He had it in his mind
that he wanted to play this character named Roger.
Speaker 1: Okay, he didn't.
Speaker 2: The only thing he knew about the character was from
the character description in the breakdown of like the audition,
who's Roger one of his friends on one of the Greasers,
you know, but he liked the song. He liked the
song that Rod sings. It's funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: So later, you know, spoiler alert. Later, I was like, well,
why didn't you just go to YouTube and like look
up a scene of Roger acting, so you know, And
he was like, I don't know, Like this didn't occur
to me. I was like, or why didn't you watch
the movie one time? And he said, well, I tried.
I started it and I got bored. I was like, well,
how far into it did you get? And he goes
not very far, like a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, it's one of those things
where we think they're going to love a movie, like
the Breakfast one. But they started and they go, this
is old, you know, and they're like, lose interest immediately.
Speaker 3: Right is different though, I mean I don't even like musicals,
and that's my favorite one. I feel like that that
one is different than like a breakfast club because of
the music and the dancing.
Speaker 2: How dare you? First of all, the people like us
that love the Breakfast Club were horrified that our kids
can't get into that. But I think I think it's
the tone. I think it's the the way look the
way it just doesn't look modern enough for them.
Speaker 1: It does look old. Probably starts out with the like
the paramount stars that go across or like the Lion
of MGM, or like you know, like that's a dead
giveaway when my kids are young, like oh god, and
you can see like the tech, the color like glitches
on the you know, the yes yes, yes, yes, the
kind of right which they like to use now to
make it look retro, but it really is. That's the
it is retro. So that's why it looks like. That's
what it's got.
Speaker 2: Whereas like when we were young, Oh my god, Okay,
I know we've talked about this before, but oh my god,
the Wizard of Oz was only on once a fricking year,
and that was Appointment TV. You're like, you start asking
your parents like, oh, like, when is the Wizard of
Oz gonna? And it was like one specific time.
Speaker 1: Of year, Thanksgiving, we like something, yes, and you'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, it's coming up. And then you
sit down in front of the television and you see
that lion roar. Your whole body is like on fire.
That's just a patient. Yeah. Then when it goes from
black and white, then you're like, hurry up with the
black and white. And then when it goes to color,
and you're like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. My dad saw it in the theater,
in the theater when he was a kid. He saw
it because he's never saw color in movie theaters and
that was the first movie that he saw. And so
he's watching it and like it just was I mean,
his mind blown. Everybody in the theater was like oh
as soon as like the thing went to color, He's
like So every year he would tell me that and
we would watch it together.
Speaker 2: That was like my my version of seeing the sixth sense.
And when the wedding ring drops to the floor, you know,
and then you realize Bruce Willis is dead. I tell
you that?
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that? We saw? We screened that
in our theater at ABC, and and also it was
in the middle of the day. They let us go
and watch the movie. Of course, the first thing that
happens is I'm asleep, So like, I'm just and I
wasn't the only one, but there were people in it
because it is kind of slow and quiet and in
the middle of the day or in the dark theater
when you're usually at work, you know, it's just my
brain shut off, went to sleep, missed the missed the end.
I made it throughout the whole movie too. It fell
asleep at the very end. And then as soon as
it was over, everybody was like whoa and I got
I know right he was kind of boring and they're like, no,
you meant did you see? I was like, no, what
have I missed it?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? That they just told you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were like, you want us to tell you
or do I go? I mean, might as well tell
me' not gonna sit through it all over again just
to see the very end what happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we had this guy on me my dad's podcast.
He's the script reader for Williamore's agency. He reads all
the scripts that come in. He was okay, I'm going
to send it to and six cents came in and
he would be like, Okay, I think Bruce Willis is
right for this part blah blah blah. But he had
he had doled it out to one of his one
of his script reads. So it's like the guy under
him like, hey, read this script, tell me what you think,
give me notes on it. And it's it's the other
guy on Me and my Dad's podcast. And the guy
reads it and he goes, oh, this is great script,
and he goes back to the main script. He goes, oh,
it's a fantastic script. Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
This happens, and he was a ghost the whole time.
The script was like, well, right, well, thanks for spoiling.
Speaker 1: I used to read script. I'll just tell you that
when I was working at Carcy Warner, which is a
television company, syndication company. But they did like, you know,
the seventy that seventies show and rose Ane or whatever.
But my boss had the it was it was pilot season.
He had a script on his desk and he asked
me to read it called The Family Guy, and I
was just like, I just looked at the title and
I was like, the Family Guy, Like this is gonna
because it was at the time where pilots would cut
they were so cheesy and then they you know, they
had these ridiculous names for pilots and it was always
this formula like it was. It was when the sitcom
was going down. I didn't know it was a cartoon
so until I started reading it. But but then yeah,
I was just like, Family Guy, this is going nowhere
fast like. And the same thing I thought of was
with The Bachelor. I told you that when I was
at agency, I'm like, what day and age? They have
fifteen women like trying to get the guy to give
her a rose, Like how misogynistic are we? And yeah,
here we are.
Speaker 2: I thought that she was about The Bachelor, But then
as soon as they did The Bachelorette, I was always right,
I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, all eyes. Yeah, so did
you read The Family Guys?
Speaker 1: Yeah I did, and then I got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, yeah, it was pretty funny. It
was the pilot. I don't remember what it was. But yeah,
and then he told me he said his friend was
Seth MacFarlane. So I was like, Okay, well, maybe this
guy's going somewhere.
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you guys the story of I
was dating this guy? I might have done that. I
might have. I think I told this story on a
Patreon a long time ago. But the non Patreon part
of the story is that I was kind of dating
this guy who was very He just fancied himself like
way more in the business than he was. I wrote
with him on like a bad like dating show. But
he would tell me stories where that he had been
a reader for William Morris. And one day we were
at a party and I love the movie Set it Off.
You know, I've talked about that movie in here before
with Jada Pinkett about the black women that start robbing banks,
And one of the things that I loved so much
about that movie was that it just really captured I thought,
the way women talk and think. There's a lot of
there's a lot of scenes of them just hanging out
like on a rooftop, like smoking pot, like shooting the
shit with each other. What's her names in it? Oh
my god, theper the rap Latifah is in it. Yeah,
she's so good in this movie always makes me cry.
This movie from the first time I saw it, I
got kind of obsessed with it, and I'd seen it
a bunch of times and I was a huge fan.
And I knew that the writer of the movie is
this guy named Takashi Buford. And I knew the name
of the guy because I thought it was so cool
that a guy wrote this movie that really spoke to women,
just like when Jay McNerney wrote this book called Story
of My Life. I think that's one of his books,
and it was from a girl's point of view, and
I was very blown away by, like, oh my god,
is this guy in my head? Like how women think? Okay,
one day this guy and I will call him Tom.
I was already kind of done with him. I was
already got the ick. I didn't want to be dating
him anymore. But I had agreed to go to this
party with him, and I was like I think. I
told him like I don't know, I don't know if
I'm into it, and he was like, you already said
you were going to go. And I remember just being
like fine and not really wanting to like do my
hair or makeup. And it was funny enough. The party
was in the Pacific Palisades, not that that's funny, but ironically,
and I was living in Santa Monica in an evacuation
zone now on San Vicente, and so we had we
could walk to this party. Anyway, long story short, go
to this party to Kashi Bufford's there. I am like
freaking out. I'm told he's there, and I'm like, oh
my god, Oh my god, how am I going to
get the guts to like talk to him? And so
eventually I get ballsy and I go I'm like, hi.
I know people probably say this all the time, but
I'm like, you set it off as one of my
all time favorite movies. I've seen it a million times.
I can't believe, like how well you could write the
female voice. All of a sudden, up comes Tom, who
I've been trying to avoid the whole night, and he's
like oh, and I introduce him and then he says like, oh,
you know what I read your I read this screenplay.
I was a writer at William Morris and I my
feedback was that you didn't really get the women's voices.
And I was so horrified. Who the fuck says that?
Who would say that to somebody? Like? What monster? Shot
the fuck up? So then I'm I wanted the Florida
swallow me up. And he was super polite. He's just
like and by the way, Takashi Buford is a black man,
and this is like mediocre white boy who thinks he's
like all that saying that, like after a woman just
told you, well, I don't know if Tom heard me
saying all the things that I was saying, Like he
comes up and is like, oh, oh yeah, I read
your script, like not that great or whatever? Fuck off?
Speaker 1: I hate it.
Speaker 2: So then we end up getting into an argument because
I'm like, you know, as soon as we're alone, I
was like, who does that? How could you say that? Well,
he was kind of drunk, and then that led to
a story that I have told before where he basically
wouldn't leave my Should I just tell you again what happened?
Speaker 1: Okay, he's anonymous.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break and then and then I'll
tell you. And what we're going to talk about right
now on this break is thrive.
Speaker 1: Well, you guys know how much we love our brilliant eyebrighteners.
I have them in so many colors. I have the
white that goes in the corner to open up the eyes.
I have the soft pink, I have the champagne colors.
Speaker 2: I love the metallic ones. You know. I like to
add a little spice when I'm going out and use
the metallic.
Speaker 1: I use those as eyeliners sometimes works really good.
Speaker 2: It's really amazing. And another thing we love is that
it's called Cause medic spelled c A U S E

constantly supporting causes like domestic violence and you know, things

feel like, okay, here's what happened.
Speaker 1: What happened.
Speaker 2: It's dirty, so okay, and I've told it before, but
maybe it was on a Patreon Okay, So here's what happened.
I'm hating this guy now, completely full ick hate him,
and he we have to we walk back to my house. Well,
his car was parked at my house and he's like, uh,
and he was drunk. He had been had to well
I don't know if I thought he was that drunk,
but maybe he was using it as an excuse. So
he's like, can I come in?
Speaker 1: I think I remember, Yeah, do you remember this kid story?
Speaker 2: Should I tell it again? Yes? So okay, So I'm like,
I don't know what to do. He's like, I can't
drive right now, so can I just come in and
like sober up? And I'm like all right, So I
let him in. I let him in. He comes in
my room. I won't let him touch me or anything.
He gets on my bed and I'm like he and
he just like lays there in my bed and then oh,
then then he's like I'm just going to take like
a little nap or whatever. I don't remember the full
details of this part. It doesn't get crystal clear for
a minute, but all of a sudden, he like takes
off his pants and he's wearing his like boxers and
like a t shirt and laying in.
Speaker 1: Bed negatively comfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm like, you're not sleeping over here, you know,
And he's like, yeah, okay, but I don't want to
have like a full like I don't want to have
the breakup thing right then, you know, it's like uncomfortable.
I'm mad. He's just embarrassed me so badly at this party.
So I'm like so grossed out. And I'm laying there
and uh, I'm like I've turned my back to him,
and all of a sudden, I start hearing a noise
that's like a and I'm like, the fuck? What is that?
Is that noise? Is that? The good? Is that? The noise?
Speaker 1: More like that?
Speaker 2: It's rhythmic, and I'm like, oh my god, what is happening?
And before I know it, I get a spooch right
on my hip. I'm wearing like sweats or whatever, and
I was like, what the fuck. I look around. The
guy is masturbated and like splooged on me. I mean,
come on, this is in this day and age that
that's like. But I wasn't. It's I was so so disgusted.
I was like, get the fuck out of my house
right now. My apartment get out, and he was like,
I'm sorry, and I was like, what would possibly make
you think that? I? What are you doing? Well? It's
so crazy. And then then so he he gets dressed
and he leaves and I freaking clean off my I
was so horrified. So he leaves. Then the guy has
the fucking nerve to call me like whatever the next
day and just be like, hey, can we hang out
again or whatever? And I was like, are you out
of your mind?
Speaker 1: Right? And I don't think guys really understand that us
chicks can get the ick really quickly and when you
go when you go ick, you don't go back. No,
that's that like, there's no going back. Once you're turned off,
you're turned off.
Speaker 3: I think they get it now though, now that like
the has become a thing. Oh really, I think at
least now that it's more aware. Yeah, that women can
get turned off in a second and then that's it.
Speaker 2: But why would you masturbate on someone's hips?
Speaker 1: Well, that's not going.
Speaker 2: To you being there, that turned their back to you,
that's not letting you touch them. Why would you think like, oh, good, okay,
I'm gonna like why would you possibly how would that
enter your brain.
Speaker 1: But he didn't know that you were trying to that
you wanted to break up with him, did he?
Speaker 2: We had had his argument just think aford thing. We'd
fully had an argument about it where I was like,
why would you possibly do that? You embarrassed me? That's crazy?
Why would you think to say that? And he was like, oh, well,
you know, I mean he the movie got made. He
in his mind, he was like, he doesn't care what
I say because the movie got made and it did well.
But I was like, but what, but it makes no
sense to say that, Like and plus, you're wrong, he
did get women. And why would you think that you,
as a man, could tell him that he didn't capture
female voices?
Speaker 1: Exactly? Well, but see what I'm wondering, if you did,
he just think that you guys were in a fight,
or or just you were just uh you know, maybe
he just thought you were just pissed off at him. Yes,
ninety wants to hang out.
Speaker 2: I just don't know how you would think that me
being fully clothed still right, that that's an invitation to
strip down to your boxers and then masturbate on me.
Speaker 1: So dumb. Wait, So what happened are the kids.
Speaker 2: So circling back to that, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: I wanted to do a quick Grease story too before.
I've told you before that my dad is in Greece.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I think you did. It was like one
of his the original movie. Yes, this has come so
full circle. I can't even believe it right now.
Speaker 3: So it's the scene where he's playing basketball and he
gets frustrated and he like punches that guy and oh, yeah, yeah,
that's my dad. Oh really, yeah and so and he
had like a couple other scenes that cut out of
the movie. But when I was younger, my parents would go,
all right, don't They would say, don't blink or else
you're gonna miss him in the movie. And so I
would sit there as a kid with my eyes open,
fingers so I wouldn't miss his short scene of Grease.
Speaker 1: So, your dad's the one that yeah that John drold
the punch is in the stomach. Yeah, well he gets
frustrated playing bad. But that's so funny.
Speaker 2: Well, I have never seen Greece. What I know, what
I know, I haven't seen the movie. I've never seen it,
so I know the story.
Speaker 1: So the apple doesn't evolve, no, I know.
Speaker 2: So like because but if Xander had said, do will
you watch Grease with me and Sadie, I would have
m right, okay, So this okay, So I don't know
that Xander doesn't know anything about it. Xander is more
into getting into Greece than Sadie. So Sadie was like,
I don't know if I'm going to audition because school
is hard enough for me and I don't know if
I also need play rehearsals and like lines to learn
on top of how hard my classes are this year.
So I'm like cool, then, you know. But then she
decides she does want to audition, like all of everybody.
She knows a lot of the kids are auditioning for Grease.
It was very competitive, but so she decides she is
and anyway, so then that day that they audition, they
find out like maybe the next day or the day
after callbacks. Uh huh okay, Xander gets a callback, Sadie
does not. Oh yeah, And Sadie was so bumped. And
after the audition, Sadie was like, I messed up and
my voice cracked. And Sadie has a really pretty singing
voice though, by the way, but she was like, I
messed up but she doesn't have the confidence really, so
and then I think, I feel like the next day,
they are doing more auditions, and she asked if she
could like redo her audition and they said she could,
but she's like, I did even worse, So she was
feeling bad. Then she doesn't get a callback, and I'm
sad for her, but they did say, just because you
don't get a callback doesn't mean you're for sure not
getting a part, but you know you could still get apart,
but it's not going to be a lead. But anyway,
Xander gets called back for four different male parts, the
guy that I told you, I think the guy what
did I say, Roger Sonny, somebody named Sonny, and like
two more, oh Kanicki and somebody else. So he still
doesn't watch Grease, which I didn't know. So he goes
to his callback and he has to read lines now
and he doesn't understand the characters. He doesn't really know
how they talk. And so he said he didn't do
well on his callbacks because but because he didn't, he
was like, but so then he read another role and
they did give him the character breakdown. They told him
what he was playing, So I think he did a
little better. Anyway, they just came out with the cast list,
so Xander got se Sonny's like.
Speaker 1: I think the wise cracking like friend, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's kind of perfect for him, right.
And by the way, he was pronouncing it Sony and
I was like, no, it's it's Sonny. And he's like,
are you sure I think it's Sony and I was like, no,
it's Sunny. And then I was like, that's Lynette's son's name,
and that's how it spelled it, Sonny because he goes,
wouldn't that be su and and I was like, it's
like my son, like Sonny pronounced that when he was like,
oh okay anyway. Then turns out that Sadie got a
role too. Oh really yes, and she was so excited.
So she's playing there's a there's a band, a rock
the rock band that plays during prom that sings uh
rain always rains on prom night or it's raining on
prom night or something, and so she and one other
girl are playing the lead singers of this band. That's perfect.
So she and I was like, she was so happy
because she was like, I don't have to learn any lines.
I just learned the song's singing the song and yeah,
oh my god, I want to see when's the play?
I don't know, but i'll tell. I'm sure it's not
for a few months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Their first rehearsal is tomorrow. Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I could totally picture Xander as a sunny you know,
like now that I'm thinking, he's got like that squiggle
that curly cue. He kind of looks like Squiggy from Yeah,
Laverne and Laverne and July. Yeah, yeah, yeah like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's gonna be so cute. I know.
Speaker 1: Congratulations.
Speaker 2: But I was like watch time. Yeah yeah, I was like,
are you gonna watch the movie now? And he goes,
