Speaker 1: Made a decision.
Speaker 2: Face sunny sum, I had.
Speaker 1: What's up everybody for crying out out?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 1: Is it's Friday Friday show?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Last Friday show was bomb. That was cooking show.
Oh yeah, I feel like airfriers. What did we call
that show? Something about airfriers.
Speaker 1: Somebody made the super recipe my super recipe. Yes, I
did nothing, I've not cooked. I didn't buy the app,
but I'm like, I'm about to pull the trigger on
the air fire. Oh you gotta, yes, definitely, yeah, yeah,
you got, you got.
Speaker 4: You get a lot of hot air fier talk in Facebook.
Speaker 1: But the one thing I was unsure about was some
people were saying that they have a one that's also
a toaster, oven and air fire capacity work as well though,
oh really, and they say it doesn't cook the food
that you need, the one with the I don't know,
just just a straight air fryer.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I think I've got a comparison shop because I
think I'm gonna need to have two different I need
a toaster, yeah, because if it's gonna toast bagels and
also like make salmon, like is it?
Speaker 3: Are you gonna be able to do the same thing
in the same. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I know this is something we
have to figure out, but we're not We don't need
to talk about that again, just saying I was just
saying that it's gonna be hard to top last Friday,
but there's gonna be some hot traffic school talk today.
I can't wait.
Speaker 3: I know you made me want to shop packed in stacks,
especially in the back.
Speaker 1: Brother. Want to thank you mother, but like that, can't
I get some fries with the shake shake booty? It
looks could kill you, would be ANOSI or a shotgun bang?
What's up with that?
Speaker 3: Than?
Speaker 1: I want to know? How does it hang? Straight up?
Waight up? Hold up's lover like Prince said, Yo, A
sexy mother like a real wild bee bonie style by
the mouth, smooth black skin and a smile right as
the sun. I want to get some fun. Come and
give me some of that yum yum chocolate chip honted dip.
Speaker 3: Can I get a scoop?
Speaker 1: Maybe take a ride in my coop, a big non
a shoot. But Caylen, you know that song.
Speaker 4: I do know that song, okay, but the only reason
I noted because when that movie Deadpool came out.
Speaker 1: Oh that was there.
Speaker 4: That's what they used, is like, they're not their theme song,
the main song. So I think everybody got that song
when Deadpool came out.
Speaker 1: All right, did I ask you guys if you've seen
the movie Bodies Bodies, Bodies. No, no, no, I've never
heard of it.
Speaker 3: You gotta watch that movie. It's pretty good, Kaylen.
Speaker 1: You would like it.
Speaker 3: You would really like it.
Speaker 1: Pete Davidson's in it, really m m yeah, uh, I forget.
It's like a kind of an indie but it's very interesting.
It's a horror movie that's also a little bit funny.
And yeah, yeah, Bodies, Bodies Bodies. So remember, yeah, remember
when I got those tickets at the lights and you've
heard my whole drama it's been going on. This is
like a year and a half, I feel like, if
not longer, from the time that I got the ticket
at the light, at the photo ticket, right, and then
we got three of them because your tires were over
the line, a little bit over the line, so as
so to catch you up, John and I between the
two of us, two of them came to him, but
two of them, but the picture was actually me. So
then by the time I sent them a thing saying
this is not I was the driver, here's the and
then you get it back. And then we had to
go to court. And then his got dismissed, remember by
the good, good judge the name of in the name
of justice, in the interests of justice, he dismissed. And
then mine, one of them got dismissed by the same
cool judge. But then I also got shitty judge.
Speaker 3: Who was like nope.
Speaker 1: So I had to plead no contest because remember they
showed me the video of myself. Now this has been
superve Yeah, it was totally emotive there, and I was like,
can you tell me what to do?
Speaker 3: Remember the like, I can't tell you what to do.
And I was like, but seriously tell me what to do.
Do I plead guilty and he's like.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you saw the video. You see where
your car is, you see where the line is, you
do the math. So that I said, I plead no contests,
and then I got my fee reduced, which still ended
up being a high fee. And then he said, if
you can go to traffic school. So now I've been
putting it off because my book was due and in
my mind. I was like, oh god, traffic school, that's
like eight hours, you know, and these things make me anxious.
I know you would feel the same way, because my
brain goes, Okay, well, if I buy the traffic school
and I put in my citation number, I what if
I don't finish and then can.
Speaker 3: I log back in or do I have to start over?
How's that gonna work?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: I get scared.
Speaker 1: Even though it says right on the thing like you
can easily log in or log back out right, I'm like,
but I won't be able to all be excluded from that.
Speaker 3: Younger, different people be able to be like, of course,
you can.
Speaker 1: Log out and log back in, and I'll be like.
Speaker 3: How do I find where I was?
Speaker 1: I forgot that pastor?
Speaker 3: And then Lv'll be like, mom, did you write down
your password?
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go no, because I thought it was
gonna save it automatically. I don't remember.
Speaker 3: And then I'm gonna try to make a new password
and they're gonna be like.
Speaker 1: Nope, now you're screwed. Yeah, so and so then and
I go on the DMV website and I have to
pick a traffic school and they all have names like cheap,
easy fun or like lots of laughs, traffic school, you know,
And I'm like, how funny? Is it going to be
really like the online version? Yes, but I sign up
for what I literally I chose the one that was
number one in the queue, that was the first one
that they offer. I don't know if it went alphabetically,
but I was like, you know what, they got to
be doing something right right there first first. Yeah, more
people must use them because people are lazy like me,
they're no getters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're like whatever, I'll go to that one.
What are you going to scroll.
Speaker 1: Down for you?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all the same. Are you gonna yelp them?
And see? It was like the best? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: So I picked this one.
Speaker 1: I pick cheap, easy Fun and it's advertised as being
like super funny and there's gonna be like jokes and
like cartoons.
Speaker 3: God, I'm like, well, I'll be the.
Speaker 1: Judge that I have a stand up community in. So yes, yeah,
we'll see. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Not having high hopes for this, okay, but I am nervous. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I have a due date of February like second
or February third, which is kind of coming up. So
all of a sudden, I was like, so, like I said,
I put it off because my book was due, and
I was like, I'm not taking a whole day off
of writing to go to traffic school, right, But all
of a sudden, I was like, oh, well, if this
is really eight hours, I'm going to have to be
doing this in like two hour increments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, spoiler alert.
Speaker 1: I got the whole thing done in like an hour
and forty five minutes really two hours. But so when
you first start, oh my god, there's a lot of reading.
And I found out afterwards that they all by law
have to have a certain word count. It has it's
like forty it's a lot of it's I don't know
how many words it is, but it has to. So
basically they're filling up space. So you're reading all this
stuff and you don't know if it's going to be
on the quiz. So you do chapters and then they
give you a little quiz. So I read the first
one and I'm really paying attention. It's like, oh, like
write making little notes like oh if you're I don't know,
it's like safety stuff, yeah, like you know all the
safety things, and I'm like writing things down. Then I
get to the quiz and it's literally like if you
if somebody cuts you off in traffic, do you a
like sad dog them right b get out of the
car and say get out of the car, motherfucker and
try to kick up or see just ignore it and
keep driving, you know, like like right, member, Remember when
Elbe went to traffic school a long time ago, like
actual traffic school, and I said these questions were so dumb.
Well that's what it was like on my traffic violators school.
So but then I don't trust it because I'm like, Okay,
that's the first chapter, but then that's the warm up.
But then the next one's gonna be harder, so I'm
going to really pay attention. So I'm reading it so carefully.
These are the first few chapters, and it's like then
you get to the end and it's all common sense, right,
so dumb and they repeat stuff over and over enough,
not one thing do they ask you, like how many
feet from the curb do you have to? Well that
actually was in there, but not until like way later. Anyway,
I read it really carefully the first few chapters. Then
I started realizing how easy it was but then it's
it's you can go back, and because you can't answer
a question, you can go back. But I was too
scared that I wouldn't be able to figure out how
to navigate.
Speaker 3: Back and it would start me all over again.
Speaker 1: So I was like on the err on the side
of reading this kind of closely, but tour it later on.
So I'm like an hour and hour and fifteen minutes
into it, and then I was like, this is insane.
Speaker 3: Every single test is so easy.
Speaker 1: So then I just started like literally skimming it and
it was going over the same material and then all
of a sudden, they're like, Okay.
Speaker 3: You're done.
Speaker 1: Now you just have to take the DMV test and
you only have to get a seventy percent, which kind
of worries me because the questions are so easy. Also,
you're at home on your computer. If you don't know something,
you open up a tab like there was a oh.
Speaker 3: One of the.
Speaker 1: Questions was like, uh, you shouldn't drive if you're feeling
emotionally distressed. Which of these falls under the the category
of emotional distress? And it was like extreme happiness, extreme anger,
or something else or both A and B. So I'm
like I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like extreme.
Speaker 1: Happiness is not distress, Like that doesn't fall into the
that's not the definition of distress. But just in case,
I google, can happy extreme happiness be also called emotional distress?
And no, like no, extreme emotional distress is like depression anxiety? Right,
so I answer happiness. Only you know I got that
one wrong because apparently I mean I said anger, and
apparently extreme happiness is also emotional distress, which I have
a bone to pick with the people a DMV no.
But and then there was one other one that I
got wrong that was also really stupid, but all the way.
But it was like, uh, do you when you're driving
an oncoming car and you have to turn off your
lights if you're within I remembered it five hundred feet,
But I googled that one just in case, and I
was right. And anyway, I got a ninety three percent. Wow,
five questions. I missed two, and I was like, oh
my god, you'd have to miss a lot of these,
like redeemully easy questions. But listen, So this is a
PSA for all of you guys if you have to
take traffic school, no joke, it's really easy, right, Just
do it.
Speaker 3: Don't read it carefully.
Speaker 1: Yeah, go through the chapter skim and then just take
the quiz and if you can't figure something out, go
back and then get You could do this thing in
thirty minutes. Yeah, I remember I did it. I did
it a few years ago and I went online and
just did the you know, the questionnaire, and I remember
it being pretty easy. Like, but they make you scared
because they're like, you can only take the DMV portion twice.
If you fail it the second time, you're done, Like
you have to read, you have to I don't know,
reapply for your life. Yes, so I was like, Okay,
I'm scared, but I'm sure. But it's so much repeating.
It's so much like don't try to pass somebody on
a hill.
Speaker 3: Don't try it. If you're near a railroad track, like
make sure you can get across the track. It's all
like no shit. Every question is like no ship.
Speaker 1: Every chapter is like no ship, have an emergency, have
a hey, be prepared in case of an emergency. Oh,
by the way, if you're looking at your GPS, you
might want to do that before you leave.
Speaker 3: For your trip.
Speaker 1: Like okay, yeah, no one's going to really do that
everyone's going to look at their GPS in the car.
But I'm not going to pretend I don't know that
you shouldn't do that, right right, Yeah, now that's good,
Like I remember, they're making it easier like now, like
just I thought, but why did why did you pick
the comedy one if there's no like oh, so okay,
so it well I picked easy, cheap and fun.
Speaker 3: Oh but they then they told me that.
Speaker 1: The fun part was that there's going to be jokes,
and there's no It was so stupid they were. They
would every once in a while they would they would
have joke. Oh god, just not. I read the first
couple of them just out of curiosity, and they were
so bad. They were like dad jokes. And then I
was like every time I would see joke, I was like, no,
if you're gonna quiz me on the joke, you're high,
So I'm not reading. That's ridiculous. So I skipped all that, right,
And then there were a couple like almost funny videos
you could watch that were like really re enacting traffic. Oh,
it was about like road rage, but they showed somebody
like in an office environment. And I started the video
because I was like, I don't know if it's mandatory,
like if they can tell if you start the video.
I started it and it was like a cheesy and
I was like, no, we're We're done watching any videos,
no extras. Meanwhile, I'm thinking, like, how do you sign
up to like participate, Like maybe they need an actor
for one of those videos I auditioned for one of.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they probably get them off of tiktoks.
Speaker 1: They probably just like go reach out to somebody and go, hey,
can we use this for a comedy traffic school that's insane,
But many years ago, I mean for thirty five years ago,
probably thirty five, No, maybe thirty maybe twenty five years ago.
I attended traffic school me too in person, Yeah, and
I gotta say it was pretty funny. I took a
comedy traffic school you do, Yeah? Was it with a
guy who's like occasion, He's Acasuan. He had all these
stories about being casun and he was super funny. My guy,
ironically was named Adam and he reminded me of Adam Sandler.
It was a north Ridge and it was in the
north Ridge. All my friends went to that one. Oh yeah,
and it was kind of fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had a good time at Mind. I remember laughing
really hard. And the guy who did mind, the Cajun guy.
I should try to look him up. His name was
Steve and he was a Casian comedian. He was a
stand up carly who worked like the improvince. Yeah, this
guy was too yeah, and I believe that I saw
him perform at some point, like at some future time,
and I think I might have told him that he
taught traffic school. That's all that.
Speaker 3: I had a great time, right, and then you felt
like they like they do stuff.
Speaker 1: Like let you out early a little bit, and you
thought you were getting away with something.
Speaker 3: You know, You're like, oh, this guy's coo cool.
Speaker 1: I gotta miss that, you know, in persons, everything's on
zoom now, you know, actually it's probably it's fine with me.
Oh my god, I'm so happy that I didn't have
to go some nice I know, I know, and sit
there all day and probably not be able to look
at your phone, like, oh no.
Speaker 3: This was so super easy. I can't believe how easy
it was.
Speaker 1: Well, that's good, that's good. Yeah. I started at like eleven,
and by like twelve forty five, I was like, I'm done.
That's awesome. Yeah, that's great. So on Tuesday, I was
telling you about my heater situation. Right, so because we're
recording two shows in the same day, I can give
you the update already. So it's all fixed. Nester Lopez
came Forester if you live in the valley and your
follow on Facebook. I love him so much. So remember
I told you that we thought that that John thought
it was the earthquake. Yes, so John texted me, said,
Nester came by. It was the earthquake valve, like we guessed.
He showed me how to reset the earthquake valve and
how to relight the pilot in the hot water heater.
So not the not the pilot in the nick like
handy Manny was trying to tell us. But no, okay,
so then everything's working now. So then he told me
he just texted this to me, he said, Handy Manny
is full of apologies. Annoying, but at least he backed
off the idea that it wasn't his guys, because.
Speaker 3: He was trying so hard to go not us, not us, right, right,
So we're all fixed. Yay, it's back on in our house. Oh,
the trials and tribulations.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's times where I'm gone from my
condo and then I get back there, like today, I
get back there and the cable for some reason, the
cable goes out like when I'm gone, and so I
have to like reset the box and all this stuff.
I don't know it was windy last night. I don't
know if that's the case.
Speaker 3: I feel like your cable is sort of like Lynette,
if you're not gonna.
Speaker 1: Be here, Yeah, what do we We're taking a break.
And by the way, like, oh god, when she's she's
she's like, I have never had any problems with the
internet Wi Fi. The electricity never goes out. Well, electricity
has gone out like once or twice for me. The
Wi Fi's out like every other week. I don't know
what's going on. It's the same company, but so weird.
I don't know, I know, I know.
Speaker 3: Do you think she was just saying that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Why would she? Yeah, I would think it would be
in her best interest to be like, oh, that.
Speaker 1: And that goes out every day. We never have internet, right,
you're not gonna like you here, You're gonna hate it.
There's no electricity really in the whole no, never, I know,
and let's not forget about the flies that that I had,
that fly situation. Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, yeah, so all good, Okay,
what else?
Speaker 3: What else, Kaitlin, How are the kids?
Speaker 1: Tell us?
Speaker 3: Tell us toddler stories?
Speaker 4: I mean, the kids are doing They're doing very well.
Speaker 3: Because you're a dad, because you're the dad.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, the default just as cute as could be. Yeah, client,
by the way, did you fix that? Did you build
her the greenhouse or anything else come from that?
Speaker 4: No, I have just not talked to her. Okay, I've
kind of been avoiding it.
Speaker 3: That was our Patreon That was two weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I got one of my clients. I
was asking me to do additional things on top of
that was not related to her pond, right right, And
so yeah, I haven't I haven't talked to her yet, but
I will not be building her greenhouse.
Speaker 1: Okay. Oh my gosh, I wanted to bring up something. Yeah.
So I don't know the whole story about this, but
there was this thing in the news that Pam Anderson
said that Tim Allen exposed himself when they're on the
set of Home Improvement, Yes or show?
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I played the Toolgirl.
Speaker 1: Right right, and I've read so I read the post
this morning and it was like like TMZ or whatever
was reporting it, and she said that he it was
our I think it was our first day on the
set or something. And so he was walking out in
a robe and he flashed her and then he goes,
we're even because I saw you in Playboy or something
like that. I could be wrong, but it was I
think it's something like to that nature. Okay, so this
is what I think. I saw this on like whatever,
Huffington post something on Facebook, and people were freaking out,
not that he exposed himself to her, but they were
like defending him, like, oh, these women making these false accusations,
just trying to bring a good man down. And I
was like, first of all, this is so multi layered
to me, and I know you're going to totally agree
with me, and Kaylin, you're going to agree with me too.
Speaker 3: First of all, Tim Allen was a known felon coke addict,
like probably alcoholic.
Speaker 1: Like this isn't like the most reliable narrator because he
denies it. I would venture a guess that he just
doesn't remember, right. But second of all, she just wrote
this is apparently an anecdote that she just was in
her book.
Speaker 3: Like it was not.
Speaker 1: She didn't come forward and go, I'm suffering from trauma
and I need to report that Tim Mellon exposed it.
That's not how it went down.
Speaker 3: It's just that people picked it up out of the
book and they printed it.
Speaker 1: So, and here's the thing. We are of the eighties,
you and Ilenette. Yes.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. How many penises have I seen against my will?
Speaker 1: A lot? I don't have time. There's not enough time
in a week to report all the penises that I've witnessed.
Speaker 3: Because a guy.
Speaker 1: Thought it was funny to like, yeah, nobody's saying like, oh,
he needs to go to jail for like, uh, you
know yeah, back then, right.
Speaker 3: We did kind of think it was funny a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you and I mean when we were
on the street and we were like, you know, sixteen.
Speaker 3: And a guy was like masturbating in front of us.
Speaker 1: No, that's a sex crime, right, But the guy that,
like we all thought that was kind of funny at
the time. Yes, And I'm not saying I'm not saying
what he did was right or wrong. I'm just saying
that like that stuff happened, and she's probably writing it
not as in, oh my god, this was a horrible
work environment and I was chastizing. Maybe she said it
as like a funny. It's just something that happened, Like
people need to calm down and stop defending, Like, listen,
it is so highly believable that he did that. I
can't even tell you because I cannot tell you how
many stand up comedians penises I saw that I did
not ask to see. And no, I'm not just talking
about Louis c k. I never he never masturbated in
front of me. But I have seen a lot of
friends penises. Absolutely, And by the way, sometimes I was like, hey,
let me see your penis, right, and they'd be like,
oh really, yeah, they whip it out. It was my
friend one. He would smack like people upside the head
with his dick all the time, like when we were
just hanging out, you know. You know, he was dating
Dawn at the time, and he would like, you know,
smack her in the head behind her, you know, or
or if somebody passed out, take a picture with dick
in somebody's ear. Yeah, that's what she did. That's what
we did in the eighty That's what we did.
Speaker 3: That was our entertainment. We didn't have cable.
Speaker 1: Yes, we had three stations to watch them. We didn't
have the jeweled or threes on our phone exactly. Yes,
there were no ground right, that's what we did for entertainment.
We saw penises and we pretended to be shocked or not,
or we laughed or whatever.
Speaker 3: And no, we're not advocating that like let's bring back.
Speaker 1: That are not.
Speaker 3: Maybe we are.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, I bet you, and this is
like listen, cancel me if you must. But I bet
you that Elbie's friends also sometimes I bet you that happens.
I bet you some of those boys that are around that
age think it's funny to flash their right junk at
each other and they all laugh about it. Now if
in thirty years, if they write a book and go,
oh my god, I remember when my friend flashes penis
and people go.
Speaker 3: I don't believe it. These girls are trying to ruin
their alive we have.
Speaker 1: There are real problems. There are men that really date rates.
There are like bad things that happen, right, So I
guess what I'm saying is Bill Cosby sexually assaulted with
a lot of women. And this isn't the same thing.
And and pam Anderson is not saying it's the same thing.
She's not saying I was assaulted by Tim Allen. She's
writing something. Everybody needs to calm down and not defend
Tim Allen.
Speaker 3: Because for sure he flashed his dick at people. I
guarantee you I haven't seen Tim Allen.
Speaker 1: But I guarantee you a lot of women have that
didn't ask to see it, and they're fine, right, Yes,
I kind of want to read her book now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, should we read her? Should we read her book?
Speaker 1: He reads the most highbrow books, love Pamela. When we
tried to have we tried to have a book club
for a while, remember Patreon, and we read some of
the lamest books, Jessica Simpson's book, which was pretty good
and to me Moore's book That one was good, that
was a really good book, was good.
Speaker 3: I know, I like to keep it we either read
true crime.
Speaker 1: Yes, you'll we like to keep it high right now
and we cheat and listen audible too, right right right,
by the way, have you been following what's going on
with Britney Spears, Like on her Instagram.
Speaker 3: Is there new stuff?
Speaker 1: Well, I again.
Speaker 3: Since she's stormed out it, since she stormed out of
the restaurant, out.
Speaker 1: Of that restaurant in Woodland Hills, which I love. I've
been to Joey's.
Speaker 3: Oh I haven't been there.
Speaker 1: It's good.
Speaker 3: Where is it Ventura?
Speaker 1: No, it's uh like by Topah, I.
Speaker 3: Know exactly where it's all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, she stormed so that caught me. I
went down a rabbit hole. I don't now I'm following her.
I never followed her on Instagram, but now I'm looking
at her stories and she's ten kinds of nuts. Like
the way she's just danced. She's very manic, like she's yeah,
she's dancing, and she's falling out, like she's spinning around
and she's getting dizzy, so she like falls to the
you're supposed to be like a professional dancer. Like somebody's
got to help her, you know. I like maybe the
conservativeship was a good thing, you know. I don't know.
It's funny because Cecily and I have been talking about
this on four and af a bunch like Patreon, and
we can't we go back and forth because we're like, okay,
probably not the conservative ship for as long as it was,
but yes, she's definitely but yeah, and the fans of her,
they're a little legit thinking she's being held hostage and
that's a double or something like. There's a lot of
people going that's not They're just they're they're picking apart
the video, like she had her tattoo on her foot.
Now she doesn't have a tattoo. Wait, she's got a
space between her teeth. Now she doesn't have a space.
Like they're literally like thinking that she's being held hostage.
And this person is impersonating Britney Spears, whoever this person
is that's acting manic.
Speaker 3: Oh boy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that think, I'm like, wow,
what is going on? Yeah, any no, I think listen,
we all know people who have mental Hell. Yes, she
sitimately bipolar, I believe absolutely, and she probably has mania
and maybe it's not well controlled with medications. So she's
going to act. And it's sad for her kids, for
the boys because you know, I think that people get
mad at them because they don't when they don't want
to see her.
Speaker 3: That's upsetting. It's upsetting to have a parent that's you.
Speaker 1: Know, acting very erratic and then also denying your reality
because sometimes people we all know people who have bipolar
and a lot of times one of the things with
bipolar is people that are manic either don't think they're manic,
don't want to believe they're manic, so they will argue
with you, or they like the feeling and they don't
want somebody stepping in and making them not feel that
way anymore, so they get angry and think, it's all
you stop attacking me, stop, you know, And it's like,
how hard would that be if you're a sixeen year
old boy and your mom's like you're the problem, you're ungrateful, right,
and they're acting very erratic.
Speaker 3: And you don't want to be a right.
Speaker 1: Does her kids live with her?
Speaker 3: No? No, no?
Speaker 1: And then for a while, a long time, they didn't
want to visit with her because she was un medicated
and acting erratic and getting really angry with them.
Speaker 3: Remember that story.
Speaker 1: Where I don't She took them to out somewhere and
one of them took off his shoes somehow, and she was.
Speaker 3: Yelling at me and going, you're her feet are disgusting,
and like you hear about that. Yeah, And the kid
was like, yeah, no, thanks.
Speaker 1: Right, no more of that, right, I just hope she
gets help, that's yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I know you have no experience with that.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what it's like, especially with the mom. Yeah,
that's sad.
Speaker 3: That's really sad, right, And I'm I'm with your mom.
Speaker 1: Well, I tried to get a conservatorship with her. It
was almost impossible, Like I just remember there was you know,
she had to be hospital, she had to be put
on a seventy two hour hold, and she had to
have medication. Then you have to have the judge come
that like it was this whole thing really and I was, yeah,
you have to have like you have to go in
front of a judge. I mean I was young. I
was like twenty two, twenty three. I didn't have any experience.
I was trying to do it all on my own.
There was you know, I didn't have doctor Drew to
talk to her brother. He wasn't of any help at
that time. He was going through a divorce and at
that time the Eye was responsible for her. The only
time he would show up was when she had to
get you know, had to have the pet team come
out because it was too traumatizing for me the first
time I did it. So he did it like two
or three times after that.
Speaker 3: But no, did he live close by at the time.
Speaker 1: No, No, I did. So I would go over there
and check on her and call her and keep, you know, keep.
He lived in like Canyon Country, oh, Calm Dale, okay, yeah,
far and kid with him at that time, and Dave
was living with my dad, I think at that Oh okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So and so your dad wasn't helping you either.
Speaker 1: Now he was you know, old and tired of her,
you know, so she was all, you know on I
had to take care of it. But I remember trying
to get a conservatorship and I remember Dean like asking
him for help, but and he was but he wasn't. No,
he was no help. And then like I would have to,
I didn't have the money to shell out to get
you know, I wanted to get her on good health
insurance and you know, it would it was this whole big,
long process and it just never worked. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, and when she was acting crazy, like the time that.
Speaker 1: She was ordering uh stuff for her and Jesus right
and ordering bathing suits. Yes, right, he went, Yes, man,
she would go shopping at the mall and buy all
this stuff on the credit cards that I would pay
for her, and then check herself into the hotel and yeah,
ordered dinner for Jesus and her steak dinner every night.
So when that was happening though, and you tried to
talk to her and say, hey, things are not right,
would she argue and be like oh she constantly yeah,
like I don't need anything. I'm a healthy I don't
take any medicine. She never wanted to take medicine ever.
I don't even take a tile in all. I don't
do it, you know. And it was like next to
one possible, Like she would stay in the hospital for
two weeks. They would force the medication. They would give
her injections of medication, and then that would get her
to calm down, and then she saw like Okay, if
I take the medication, they'll let me go home. And
then as soon as she left, right back at it.
No medication. So yeah, and then were there ever times
that she would be lucid, like once she had kind
of a break, where would she come down? Yeah, she did.
There was she would go up and down like she
would be fine sometimes and then there would be sometimes
where I could tell in her voice when I could
talk to her, and she would be like, you know, Lenette,
after Dean. You know, everybody was after Dean, you know.
And she would always think like somebody was after him
or whatever. Or Dean and a Wendy they're the king
of the sign King and the Queen of Mount Sinai,
and I see them up on the hill of Mount
Sinai and you know, and I'm like, Wendy and Dean
are not together, and she's, you know, she insisted that
they were going to be together for eternity, and Wendy's like, please, now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so hard.
Speaker 1: And then it's like I had a friend like that
who would be manic, and then I would hear it immediately.
You could tell them there. I think you get sensitive,
like I think because of having a father, because my
biological father with the pill addiction, right, I think I
just got very sensitive to hearing changes in people's their voice.
Speaker 3: And their moods, and like that. I'm sensitive to it
with friends too.
Speaker 1: Where I had this friend, it would be manic, and
I would know very quickly that you can tell hear
the and she wasn't even schizophrenic, Like she wasn't. I mean,
later on when it was really bad, she was, but
she would tell but it was this grandy. It was
like grandiosity. So she would start telling me things that
I knew weren't true that I knew she she thought
were like oh, like and it would be a paranoia
and like, oh, these people are like I'm about to
be very rich, but these people are trying to like
they're trying to take advantage of me.
Speaker 3: And she was always like mad at people. And if
I tried to say, like.
Speaker 1: Hey, I think you might be off your my little
manic or whatever, yeah, she'd get mad. I'd be like, no,
I'm just enthusiastic. And then I was like I was
the person who I don't get it right, right, that's
just hard. Yeah, that was hard.
Speaker 3: But and then towards the end with your mom, was
she just in that state more often? Did it? Because
it progress? Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's when I got her the nurse to
come check on her. And she would give her like
get her to get her meds or she would like
put it in her coffee or whatever. And then yeah,
and then then she just dropped dead and then died.
How was it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? How old was she? She was?
Speaker 1: She like she was seventy six, seventy seven, that's exactly
how old my father was. Really, did we ever talk
about talk about her age?
Speaker 3: Was seventy seven? Really? Yep? Wow, basically kind of dropped
dead some similar thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean at some point it's like a little bit.
I hate to say it, but he was manic depressive too,
which they called it bipolar, They called it p manic depression.
I think she had your mom sounds like she had bipolar,
but with skitz Schitzo gets schizophrenia with it right towards
the end. Yes, because she never I mean my whole life,
she didn't like she was always kookie, but she was.
She held it together. It was later in life, but
it wasn't dementia. It is definitely manic episodes, ye for sure,
and thoughts of grandeur and all that. That's such a
bipolar thing, right, the earlier behavior, and then it can progress,
it progresses progressive disease. So yeah, you can definitely have
it where it's just a mood thing when they're right earlier. Yes,
that's what happened with her.
Speaker 3: And then did she ever have the depression part of it,
like where she just wouldn't.
Speaker 1: She did not have the depression. She was always like whoop,
you know, always the opposite, right. She day is beautiful
and she's driving in her Mustang convertible and everything's great.
She's playing music and she's singing and she's you know, happy,
just happy, you know. Then never depressed, ever.
Speaker 3: Interesting? Yeah, should we take another break and we're back?
Oo whoo whooo?
Speaker 1: What else, stretch? Did you see the Amber Alert? The
story behind the Girl? It's on Oh you mean the
story of like the first how Amber Alert? Yeah, yeah,
I remember hearing that on some true crime podcast, But no,
I didn't see Is it on Netflix. No, it's on
the Peacock Channel, but I think it's also on NBC.
I think it was airing on NBC. I'm not sure, Okay,
but it was really on demand. It was. Yeah, it
was too many ways to get programs that I get
a little overwhelmed.
Speaker 3: But I'll just google it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's actually someone in the Facebook group recommended an
app which is the best app. I use it every
single day.
Speaker 3: It's called just Watch.
Speaker 4: Because I was constantly looking for things and then I'd
Google it and then I'd click on a website and
then it'd say it was on one streaming, and then
it wasn't anymore. And I was like, this is the
most infuriating thing ever. Just go to just watch dot
com or download the app. It's always perfect. It always
tells you exactly like where to get it for you.
Speaker 1: Just watch. I got to remember that they should sponsor us. Yeah,
a lot of people. Yes, Yeah, now that's good. That's
good to know. Yeah. No. The Amber Alert thing was
crazy because there was a camera crew that was documenting
the family. So she was a sing The Amber's mother
was a single mom on welfare and there was a
camera crew doing a story about mothers on welfare. So
they they were in the home, spending every day for
weeks documenting this family with Amber in the home, and
in the middle of production, she got kidnapped. Wow, So
there's footage of in the home when she was kidnapped
and the mom, you know, breaking down, and then they're
in the home when they find there's a they found
a body. You know, it was like a four or
five days later after she got kidnapped, there was a
body that was found. Everybody was looking for this little
girl Amber, you know, and a body was found, so
it was on the news like we don't know for
sure if it's her or not. There's the camera crews
in the home well and it's like just documenting this.
So this documentary about the the story behind the Amber
alert is pretty interesting because there's a ton of footage
of when it happened. Wow, okay, I'm gonna watch that
for sure. Yeah. I watched a documentary, a multi episodic
documentary about Rudy Giuliani.
Speaker 3: Ooh where man, that dude is crazy crazy, He's so crazy.
Uh yeah.
Speaker 1: It goes all the way through his life up until
you know the where he's where the hair dyes coming
down the side of space and he's in front of
four Seasons landscaping. Yeah, it was pretty good. It was
on CNN. Oh, I love CNN.
Speaker 3: So you know the remember John worked was the show
ran the seventies, right series?
Speaker 1: Wasn't that executive produced by Tom Hanks? Yeah, Yes, it's
Werner Herzog. It's the Yes, he was part of the company.
Gary Getzman and Tom Hanks have a company together and
they were, Yes, they were part of the production company. Nice.
Speaker 3: John worked for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But so the commercial came on right afterwards for
his thing. But it was an interesting I mean, it's
kind of like a oatmeal, so you know, it's like healthy, right,
like you're learning, it's a little switch learning.
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, I get to the part where.
Speaker 1: He's like, be crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm always feeling like I'm gonna be quizzed.
Speaker 1: I'm like trying to I'm like, okay, back when he
was the mayor, when okay, right, okay, and then people
liked him, then okay, and then wait, but then afterwards
in nine to eleven, okay, wait, yeah, yeah, I'm like
what what now? Who are the other people? Boo who
build a Blasio?
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know ed Cotch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like look, I'm like, okay, now, I'm kind
of these names are sounding familiar, right, right, right? Yeah?
I love those docs. And then Kaylan gave me a
good tip to watch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a new show on HBO called The Last
of Us and it's based on a video game that's
like one of the best video games ever made. It's
like one of my favorites. But you don't need to
be familiar with the game to watch this.
Speaker 3: Show.
Speaker 4: It's It's It's Zombies Fortnight. Yeah, that's probably coming out
soon too. No, it's a it's it's a zombie game
and a zombie show, but they do it a little
bit differently than the traditional ones, and it's even so
it's just it's so so good. And traditionally it's known
that if you adapt a video game into a movie
or show, it's terrible. It's just always terrible. No matter
what game they try and turn into a movie or
a show, it's always really bad. And this is like
the first one. Wow, it's actually really really.
Speaker 1: Good and what HBO Okay, yeah, we all have to
check that out. Wendy told me about it because we
both love The Walking Dead.
Speaker 4: Oh you're gonna love this.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Oh I can't wait.
Speaker 4: But I wanted to ask you, are you have you
watched the newest season of Yellowstone?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: Okay, so that was me and Amy's like one of
our favorite shows. Oh, I can't wait for yellow So
I can't wait. And then this season came out and
I felt it was like the most boring season I
have ever seen. It will turn me off of the
whole show.
Speaker 1: I didn't even barely watched that last episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to the finale and we didn't even
watch it for weeks, like I was so bored and
done with it. They just like, oh, it was such
a good show and there's so much like action and
fun and crazy. And then this season it's just it's constant,
just like you know music, they're playing music and they're
showing you know, horses running around. They were just over
and over again with nothing happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, every episode it was like that's it episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that on the way here. I
wanted to ask you because I was saying I was like, yeah,
well Yellowstone is like not great this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys feel that way about.
Speaker 1: Was it True Detective the second season you've talked about?
Speaker 4: Yeah, True Detective is it's different between each season. There's
three seasons, but each season is.
Speaker 3: You really like the first season, the.
Speaker 4: First season, I will maintain is one of the greatest
seas of any TV ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really good.
Speaker 4: But second season horrible, horrible, don't bother.
Speaker 1: Yeah what about third it's it's pretty good.
Speaker 4: It's a bad third season.
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't even know there was. First season is
the best season of television.
Speaker 3: Ever second one horrible one.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, I didn't even know there was a third. Yeah,
I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 3: What else is there to watch? Podcasts? Are you guys
listening to any good podcasts? No?
Speaker 1: No, I haven't been listening to podcasts. I've been watching
to docs like I love. I like, especially a true
crime doc. And that's why I got well on Peacock.
I mean they got all the date lines, which I'm
kind of behind. So I've just been.
Speaker 3: Watching, right. Yeah, I'm listening to I'm trying to think
if I have a new one. Uh uh, I'm listening to.
Oh I should tell you about this.
Speaker 1: You know, remember we had the girl on from court Junkie, Jillian.
So she has a new podcast called Civil which is
civil cases, right, which is really good because if you
don't like, like a lot of our audience doesn't love
true crime just because they like stories, but they don't
like the gruesomeness of the crime, right, you know, this
is like civil cases and what happens in the courtroom.
But they're based on like very interesting stories, really all
of them. Yeah, it's just called called Civil. Yeah, I'm
really enjoying that. And oh, did I tell you about
Another Bite. No, I didn't tell you guys about this podcast.
I'm loving it so much. Okay, So it's it's these.
Speaker 3: Three maybe there's four of them.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I don't even know who they are, but they're
funny and they talk. They do recaps of Shark Tank
oh episodes, so and they it's not necessarily like they'll
they'll go watch an old episode and then they'll and
they all have like marketing backgrounds or something where they're
weighing in on it and talking about how and then
they decide if they but they're being funny about it
and they just talk about each item and it's super
fun to listen to and it's very I love it. Oh,
I can't wait.
Speaker 3: It's called another bite.
Speaker 1: Another and they talk about what is good about the
pitch and what was not good about the pitch and
should the people have gotten a deal, And then they
tell you you try to like determine in your mind
because I haven't seen all the episodes, so you try
to think, like do you think that business is still
in business? And then they give you like an update.
I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Another bite, Another byte.
Speaker 4: Did you know that Ring the Doorbells was pitched to
shark Tank. Yes, and every single one of them passed
on it.
Speaker 1: Really, now, wow, that's one of the biggest misses they had.
It was called something else when they first tried it.
I can't remember what it was called, but yeah, they
all said no, they thought it was a stupid idea.
Oh my god, now's laughing all the way to the bank. Yeah. Well,
thank you guys for those two buddies, and thanks everybody. Yeah,

the ground where we've split.
