Speaker 4: Because too many people to buy presents for.
Speaker 5: Lynette actually gave me a great idea for one of
the presents because her Amy's brother is in Silver Lake
and the last time we did a show, you were
talking about how you took all the guys out to Kari.
Speaker 6: In Silver Lake.
Speaker 5: Yes, and I knew and I knew that he you know,
loves that kind of scene that that, and I was
thinking of restaurants to go to. We gave him a
gift card to a restaurant even went down to, you know,
a nice sushi place that I yelled and they're.
Speaker 6: Like, oh, we don't do gift cards.
Speaker 5: You can go on the website and go get one,
and it's like but then you have to email it
to them.
Speaker 6: It's like, okay, let's just get and then.
Speaker 5: You said Bakari, So we got them a bookary gift
card and they fucking loved it.
Speaker 6: We love Bakari.
Speaker 1: So that you can thank Dylan for that because he
picked the restaurant.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And and then you know, the girls just got a
million presents.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they just got a million presents.
Speaker 4: Man. Now, you didn't have anything to do with that.
Speaker 5: Their presence, oh I had, aside from buying all of them. Well,
I mean me and Amy sat down and we like
one night just went through, Okay, what are we going
to get them? And you know they're into paw Patrol.
Now it's like Okay, get them the Paw Patrol action figures,
the Spider Man action figures, some coloring books. Then we
should we should probably get some learning stuff too, you know,
was supposed to get their motor skills and their brain working.
So we got them some kind of like gearshift thing
they haven't used or been interested in. One car, some
magnetiles to build. They don't care about that, right.
Speaker 6: But their big gift was a kitchen.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 6: Them a nice little plate kitchen. That's cute.
Speaker 4: It's really good when they're little. When they're that little, your.
Speaker 3: Kid's age is the perfect age because you could get
them like a five dollars thing that they're going to
break out over.
Speaker 4: They have no idea.
Speaker 3: Like I remember when Xander was little and I want
I had won this thing. I'd gone to this fundraiser
and I I don't know if I bid on it,
but I got this big basket that was full of
like Batman products, and there were all these things in it.
Speaker 4: There was like a watch, and there was you know,
an alarm clock.
Speaker 3: There's all this stuff and I just farmed that shit
out for like a couple of years, like a birthday,
the Christmas the next chrisp.
Speaker 4: Like two more Christmases.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, you don't lose interest in Batman
that quick, because I think it was from the time
he was like I want.
Speaker 4: To say four through like seven.
Speaker 3: I got away with giving wayst I just kept them
a cabinet, was like, oh, I need another thing.
Speaker 2: The best I always have that that that closet of
all the gifts that they got. But they're not going
to be interested in you just put it in the closet,
you bring it out later.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean all their favorite gifts were the ones
that were just the easiest and cheapest to get.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's nice. Not so for when your kids
are fifteen eight.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, so I went to Chicago. I totally
forgot what a pain in the I mean not pain
in the ask, but how much work little kids are from.
You know, my my I don't know if I guess
she's my great niece whatever, Anthony's daughter, my nephew's daughter,
Riley is five, and then Wesley.
Speaker 1: Is you know, he's almost two.
Speaker 2: So we got a five year old to two year
old and it's Christmas and it was at Anti Wendy's.
Speaker 1: Everybody came. We just you know, it's all about the kids.
We just bought the kids stuff.
Speaker 2: But they stayed all day and then they all spent
the night too. Oh yeah, they decided it got late
of course, like I don't want to go home. I
want to spend the night with the antie, the neta na na, no, no,
you know, okay. But Anthony and his wife, I will say,
are a very good team. They are so cute because
you know, he works full time, she stays, she stay
home's mom. But at Christmas time, you know, he's like
sam Ney's. You know, they were going to like tag
team or she would go home and take a nap
and he would stay and blah blah blah. So it
was really cool. But like two days of little ones,
it's like, oh my god, oh my god. And it's
snowing outside. So we didn't leave. There's nothing else to do.
When I landed, which I by the way, there was
a blizzard going on when I got there, and I
was lucky that I got nothing got delayed. It was
a little bit of a delay, but I got in
on time. As soon as I landed, it was Christmas Eve.
They picked me up. We went to Bob Chin's for
seafood dinner, and it was a balmy one to when
I landed, and that was in the daytime, so it
was like below zero at night and the wind was blowing.
It was forreezing, and I was like in yoga pants.
Of course, you know too, you know, because I'm traveling right,
and they're like, and they tell me on the way
to the airpor by the way, soon as you get here,
I don't think we're gonna have time. We're gonna have
to just go straight to the to the restaurant because
there's like twelve of them. So I was like, oh, okay,
you know. So it was freezing, but it was fun,
you know, big, you know.
Speaker 1: The crab legs was delicious.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, and then we just stayed at Wendy's
like all the rest of my whole trip, never left.
Why bring a suitcase, like I was in my my
sweats the whole Like everybody comes in their pajamas. Everybody's
wearing their pajamas the whole Christmas Day and with the kids,
and then the kids spend the night and then the
next day the kids, the kids, and it's like I'm
asleep and then you get this like ante Lynette. You know,
she's like opening my one eyelid? Are you are you sleeping?
You know, it's like, oh my god, Merry Christmas. I'm
going to open more presents. I'm like, okay, you know,
it's like, oh my god, I got teenagers. But it
was my first Christmas without the kids.
Speaker 4: Oh no, how did that feel?
Speaker 2: It was a little like when everybody was opening gifts,
it was a little sad.
Speaker 1: I felt a little sad. But other than that, it
was okay. I mean, they had fun.
Speaker 3: So what did you do for the for the kids?
Did you give them gifts ahead of time or were
you just like.
Speaker 2: All their stuff was wrapped. I stuffed their stocking.
Speaker 1: Everything was done. Yes, I know. And then I talked
to them.
Speaker 2: So I talked to them and they were like, can
we open any gifts? And I was like, no, just
wait till I get back. So I was in Chicago

They buy each other funny stuff, like, uh, Sadie got
Xander a pit bull candle like pit bull the singer,
the singer, Like they kind of just do funny stuff

Speaker 4: I'm trying to think. And Sadie got.
Speaker 3: Xander also like a because he's very ocd about he
doesn't like any lint on his clothes or any dog

Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he got and then Sadie got Elby
like a Scissa poster. Scissa's this artist that I just

other really cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah.

so hard to shop for. So toward the.
Speaker 3: End, I was like, what do you you have to
give me something you want? I was do you want Ugs?
She's like, yeah, okay, I love Uggs.
Speaker 4: I was like you do.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I had asked Sadie if she thought Elbi would like
Uggs and Sadie was like, no, they're too basic.
Speaker 4: They're too basic. So I told Elbe.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I thought you might like ugs,
but Sadie said you wouldn't because they're too basic.
Speaker 4: And Elbie goes, mom, have you met me? I'm super basic?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I also got them tickets. I got four tickets
to Mean Girls. Oh really, and we already went oh wow.
So it was really fun.
Speaker 3: So then I took us all out to katsu Ya beforehand,
but I have a feeling you're going to relate to this.
Speaker 4: So so we're all excited, we're planning the big night.
And I don't know what this is.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's just getting older, but I
get anxious about stuff when I have all the kids
with me and I have something planned and there's.
Speaker 4: Like, okay, gotta drive to Hollywood, gotta drive to Hollywood.
It was raining.
Speaker 3: I knew there was going to be traffic, like trying
to back time everything in my mind. And then you know,
I had the tickets in my wallet on my phone,
but also why is everything is so difficult? So you know,
I'm getting all these notifications like mean girls is coming
up it's tonight, like do you have do you want
to put your tickets in your wallet? Which I thought
I'd already done, but I go look in my Apple wallet,
and of course I'm always like where's my Apple wallet?
I know, I'm like, okay, hold on, where's my wallet?
And then I'm looking around on my phone. I'm like,
I think my wallet's gone, and then I'm like, oh wait,
wait here it is.
Speaker 4: It just looks weird, and I'm like, okay, there's my
wallet then I open it up.
Speaker 3: There's no tickets in there. It just says like past events.
I'm like, okay, well, am I looking at it wrong?
So I'm like trying to scroll around in there. I
can't find anything. So then I have to log into
my ticket Oh so I go. I look at my
email and I'm like, okay, let me.
Speaker 4: Click on the tickets because they're like your tickets are
you have your tickets? Make sure you put them in
your wallet. So I click on the tickets and it
takes me to ticket Master.
Speaker 3: But now I have to sign in. So I'm like,
so I put in my email address and my password
does not automatically come up. So now I have to
go to my notes app on my computer. Luckily I'm
doing this all ahead of time. I go to my
notesapp on my computer.
Speaker 4: I pull it up.
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, okay, here's the password to my ticket
Master account. But it's somehow it wasn't that account. It
was like my pantagious what anyway. I finally, after freaking
out a little bit, I get the right thing. I
put the tickets in the wallet. Okay, so now drive
down to the everybody gets together.
Speaker 4: We get there.
Speaker 1: We walked to the restaurant. I went, just the kids.
Speaker 4: Did they all three kids?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: I didn't let them bring a friend. I was going
to have maybe LB bring her boyfriend and just drop
them all off. But then I was like, I want
to go.
Speaker 4: I'm going to take them.
Speaker 3: It's not so And I had told John I could
only find four seats together. The only place there where
five seats were like way in the back. So I
just bought four and I told John and he was like, no,
you take them anyway. Get to the restaurant.
Speaker 4: I'm having anxiety because I'm just like, okay, I just
want to make sure we get there on time. Oh.
Speaker 3: I know, because on the thing it said we need masks.
We got down there, I was like, oh, I don't
have any masks.
Speaker 4: You don't have any masks. What are we going to do?
Are they And then my brain just starts going, are
they going to turn us away? Are they going to
be like, sorry, you have to have masks?
Speaker 3: And then I thought, let's be reasonable, brain, They're not
going to turn and nobody has masks on them. They're
either going to have masks yes, and hand them to
you like they do at the doctor's office every time
I show up with no mask.
Speaker 1: Same same.
Speaker 3: Okay, anyway, get to the restaurant, Sadie. Dad says to
tell you that did he life three sixty to you?
And it says that your.
Speaker 4: Phone is in the car.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, no, that's probably not true. So I
look in my purse. Sure enough, no phone. So I'm like,
oh my god. So we had parked like like a
couple of blocks away. So I'm like, okay, I have
to have the.
Speaker 4: Phone because the fucking tickets are in my wallet on
the phone.
Speaker 1: Right, But you're at the restaurant, right, I'm.
Speaker 3: At the restaurant, so order some food. I'm like, okay,
I'm gonna go get my phone. So I'm walking and
I'm having anxiety for whatever reason. I'm like, let me
just let let's just I'll be fine once we're.
Speaker 4: Seated in the theater.
Speaker 1: Fine, once I'm home in my bage.
Speaker 3: Walk back to the car. I go to As I
get close to the car, it's not open. The door's
not opening. So you know how with cars, they're automated,
So it's just they sense that your key is in
your purse and the door should open.
Speaker 4: No door's not opening. It looks it's like acting like
it's dead.
Speaker 3: And I'm like immediately, I'm just like okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, okay, breathe,
Like I will not be defeated by anxiety.
Speaker 4: I'm like, breathe.
Speaker 3: I try it again. Nope, not opening. So I pull
the keys out of my I'm like, are my keys
locked in the car? Did I lose my keys? I'm
looking for in my person. Now I'm like anxious, I
can't find my keys. Then I start taking stuff out
and it's dark and it's raining and I'm in a
parking lot. I start taking stuff out. I find my keys.
I'm like, okay, we're good. Hold the keys right next
to the car, not opening. Take the I use the
remote and I hit the unlock button.
Speaker 4: Nothing. So I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Down
my car? My keys?
Speaker 3: I have my keys, but my phone is in the car,
so I might even gonna be able to call Triple A.
So I'm like, okay, and we're gonna have to miss
the concert the show because the.
Speaker 4: Tickets are on the wallet.
Speaker 3: Anyway, long story short, I was trying to open the
door with the wrong remote. I have two remotes for
two different cars. So I get the other remote. I'm like,
last ditch effort.
Speaker 4: It opens. I get my phone. I'm like, okay, I
go back to the and I'm like, I have never
wanted to drink so much, like I'm sober.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, oh God, a nice large sake would
solve all of my problems right now. But then I'm like, no,
even if I did do that, even if I was allowed,
then I would feel like, oh, I got to drive
home and I ride sakey, So okay, go I eat
some food.
Speaker 4: We go to the show.
Speaker 3: It was awesome. It was aesome show.
Speaker 4: Sure enough.
Speaker 3: We didn't even need masks. But if we wanted to
wear a mask, they had a whole box of mouks.
So I talked myself down.
Speaker 4: From my anxiety and I was fine, Wow, how is
your New Year?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Okay, So my New Year's was part So at Christmas time,
I brought my Oculus to Chicago and I was like,
you know, so I kept telling Wendy because last year
I bought one for Sonny, one for Matthew Wendy son
and they played with it and then they were done.
So now they're basically so I told so I brought
Sonny's with me, and I said, Wendy, you're gonna love it.
We're gonna be able to play craps because I know
she loves to play craps. So I said, Matthew, and
I kept asking, and will you bring bring yours over?
Speaker 1: Bring yours over?
Speaker 2: And he never brought it over, and I was starting
to think, hmm, maybe is there something on there that
he doesn't want.
Speaker 1: Mam gonna see.
Speaker 2: Right, So Wendy's he's twenty one, Yeah, no girlfriend, so
kind of.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we were talking, so Wendy and her ex husband
and her husband ex husband, he was there, Uncle Ron.
We were talking about that and laughing about it. So
then the next morning Ron bought Wendy her own oculus
for Christmas.
Speaker 4: So, wow, they have it like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he buys her they Yeah, she doesn't, but he
bought her. Yeah, bought her some oculus.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, So they don't live together. She has her own condo.
So anyway, so they so I hook her up and
she's so we get we're in these She loves it.
Speaker 2: We're in the casino. She can't place a bet for
some reason. Her oculus will not let her drop the
chips onto the table. So we get like Nicholas and
Anthony the young guy, like can you fix it? Can
you fix it now? Those two so we give it
to them. Wendy and I are in the kitchen. We
like look over in the living room. They're like picking
up beer bottles and hitting it over them. They had
their fight, like like it was the funnest It was
like it was actually better than playing. It was watching
these two and like fighting with each other. Like you know,
because in the casino you can do that. You can
go to the bar, get a beer bottle, break it
over somebody's head. You can put like a cigarette in
somebody's mouth.
Speaker 1: While they're gambling.
Speaker 2: It's hilarious and it's so and and the nice thing
is is a lot of these things they make you
nauseous and stuff. A lot of that, like the at
least for us older ladies, but the not the casino.
Not in the casino, like it's easy. You know, you're
standing at so anyway, and.
Speaker 4: You can play craps and you can play craps and
is it real? No, you got real money?
Speaker 1: I mean is it real?
Speaker 4: Like yeah you can, yes, I want to bet on
hard eg.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can do you can do all that. You
put your heart eight down hard ten. You can throw
the dice and you're standing at it in the casino
with other people. You can do your own little party.
Speaker 1: But what's fun with that?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 2: So we just you go into a casino and there's
like other people in there, there's blackjack poker.
Speaker 4: They should do that with real gambling online.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should have fun.
Speaker 3: It would be because you know when I play my
global poker. Yeah, how fun it would be if you
if you had if it was a computerized thing that
was real and you were sitting with other.
Speaker 2: People that were right, Oh my god, Stephanie, you would
never leave the house, Like it would be.
Speaker 4: So fun, so much fun, and that should they should
do that. How come they can't do that?
Speaker 2: Can?
Speaker 5: I'm sure in ten to fifteen years time, this is
absolutely what's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but like for right now, it's just fun.
Like what you do is you spin a wheel and
then it tells you like do you talk to them? Yeah,
you can have the top, you can do that, and
then if they're.
Speaker 3: The real other people playing, yeah, you communicating with the
actual people.
Speaker 1: Yes, they're standing next to you at the craps table,
they get.
Speaker 4: Mad if do they know if you broke a beer
bottle over their head?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they'll go like, all right, I knock
it off. You know, you can like mute them or
you can like you know, so that they don't.
Speaker 1: Bog bog you. But it's kind of fun, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: And then there's like there was people actually trying to
help Wendy, Like there was a guy like just you know,
and it's like right in your ear, so he sounds
like he's standing right next to you. So he's like,
just pick up the chips and drop it on the
number and if you want a hard ten, And she's like,
I know how to play craps.
Speaker 1: I just I can't. The chips won't drop, like she
was having a glitch.
Speaker 4: And they so people were trying to I'm sure that
guy was like, if you want a hard time.
Speaker 1: But by the way, the way mute.
Speaker 2: Yes, you got to make your avatar look good. I
look like Rosie O'donnald. My avatar was just like just generic.
And Wendy was like, why are you dressed like I
don't know, I never I never, like because she did
her whole thing like blonde hair, like made it look
like her. And I was so excited to play. When
I set it up with Gina Kimmel, I just left
it that way. So I'm like, and she's like, can
you like change your avatar? So I fixed myself anyway.
I'm like the next morning, okay, so the kids leave
the house. Everybody's gone. Now it's just me and Wendy
at the condo. Like two days later, I'm asleep. The
next morning, I get up, I go down. She's up
first thing in the morning trying to play like you know,
she's playing Roulette because she can't play Craps. Every other
game will let her drop the chips on the table
except for the one fucking game that we want to
play Craps. For some reason, she couldn't do it. So
she's like, mine's broken. It's broken, Like mine's broken. And
everybody was like, it's not broken. You know, we gotta
you know, reset it, redo this, you know, take it off,
redownload it. I did everything, we tried, everybody did everything,
still didn't work. So the day I was leaving for
the airport, we want to play like when I get home.
So she was like I think I need to exchange it.
So we went to Walmart. She of course they don't.
They had one left and it was like an upgraded version.
She she had to pay seventy bucks extra or she
could just return it. And she was like scroogeed paid
seventy bucks to get the extra one. Still she's having trouble.
Speaker 4: Oh no, So.
Speaker 1: Because what the the whole point was.
Speaker 2: I wanted her to have it so that when I
get home back in LA, we can meet up in
the casino and we can gamble, so we can play
other games.
Speaker 1: There's slots, there's there's roulette.
Speaker 4: But that's so weird. I know, totally sounds like something
that would happen to me.
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, totally right, I don't understand why, yes,
And you would be like, it's broken.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she said that first time it happened.
Speaker 2: The first time, She's like, it's broken, right, and everybody's like,
it's not broken, it's not. Yeah, well it so we
tried everything. I don't I think the game needs to
be updated. It's kind of glitchy. I let I read
a lot of reviews. It's the only game that's really
like with the casino it's called Poker Stars, and it's
I think it's the only Oculus game people can tell
me otherwise, I'd like to know if there's other games
where you can go to other casinos and play craps.
Speaker 6: But this one.
Speaker 1: But it's so much fun. It is so much fun.
Speaker 2: So New Year's we got on, we played, we got on,
we went into the casino, we played.
Speaker 1: Blackjack, we did a lot of that.
Speaker 2: We just hung out and like did like a whole
like virtual get together New Year's Eve. Yeah, yeah, because
the kids were with Adam and I was, yeah, hanging
out my condo.
Speaker 4: Would you do New Year's Eve?
Speaker 6: I didn't do anything New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1: Nobody did.
Speaker 6: We just stayed home and it was pouring. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I just had a couple of drinks, maybe maybe won
too many on my part, and then, you know, because
it's the last of the year, you know, starting a
new one when you start as well, and uh yeah,
and then just woke up with a killer hangover.
Speaker 4: The Yeah, are you doing a dry January? Uh yeah we.
Speaker 6: Are, but we didn't actually start until today.
Speaker 4: Because until you said it January ninth.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not just dry, it's you know, trying to
eat healthier, you know, doing all that. It's it's actually
just yeah, dry and trying to eat healthier. But you know,
Amy didn't actually start work again until today. Today was
the first day that the teachers went back.
Speaker 4: Okay, so she was like, oh, I started on the on.
Speaker 5: The first, but I don't go back to work till
the ninth. And we we went to Big Bear last
week too for a trip o fun. Yeah, so we
were like, yeah, we're going to want to.
Speaker 6: Have some drinks and big beer, so that's nice. We
decided to just wait until we started our good selves.
Speaker 4: Nice, which was me for many years.
Speaker 3: What'd you do for New Year's So I went to
my friend Laura's house with it was it's my my
mom friends, my little mom group of women that I've
been friends with since Albie was a little baby.
Speaker 4: And it was really really nice. It was just like
like six couples at my friend's house and the kids come. No,
so this was the first time.
Speaker 3: So Sadie and Xander were not real interested. So I
told them, listen, if you guys don't want to go
to her house because nobody was really bringing their kids, right,
So they were like, we're not gonna even if they
did bring some kids, we're just gonna what We're just
gonna sit on the couch with like grown ups. So
I said, okay, well then I had I had this
brilliant plan. I was like, why don't you guys invite
some friends over to the house? You know, yeah, trust
you right, probably kind of stupid, but I was like,
you know, so Elbie had planned she was going out,
so Sadie and Xander. I was like, invite friends. So
nobody apparently was available except actually Sadie found one friend
to come over. So I ordered them some Dominoes extra
lava cakes and they watched like they watched TV. And
we left them at the house and went out that's
my PE's house and like, yeah, a few miles away, yeah,
like fifteen twenty minutes. It was you know, pouring rain.
But I don't drink anyway, so it's like fine. John
had a couple of drinks. There was lots of good
like fun or dirvs, and we just like chit chatted
with people waited for the ball to drop, and then
it was really nice and relaxing because I was like,
I'm not real worried about the kids.
Speaker 1: They're fine, right right, yeah, why not?
Speaker 3: I literally did say tell John, like, I don't want
to have any liquor bottles in the house that are unsealed.
Speaker 4: So I had gone through our liquor cabinet.
Speaker 3: I was just like, I just think every bottle and
because I know what I was doing at that age,
and it was going through my parents liquor cabinet and
they were if they were gone. So I was like,
I just want to make sure that there's no like
half empty bottoms, because what because I don't want any trouble.
Speaker 4: That's good while I'm gone, that's away from the house.
It's raining.
Speaker 3: So John was just like, really, you're gonna throw away
a half And I was like, when is the last
time you drink whiskey. It's not even like great whiskey.
It's like, I was like, anything that's in there that's sealed,
I'll leaven there.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 1: Well, that's good. So they don't think that's empty of me.
Speaker 4: Do you think that's parent that's no. I mean we
don't have a lock on it.
Speaker 1: So that's a paradise being. I mean smart, why not?
It's good?
Speaker 3: Okay, it's called good parenting people, it is. I wanted
to ask you guys something. Yeah, both of you, I
pull Okay, did you hear about that situation, situation that
happened where this journalist died of a heart attack and
then they are investigating the wife because this guy, his
name is he's a producer, Dax to Hara.
Speaker 4: Okay, so did you read about this this ABC producer.
Speaker 3: So he and his and his wife were out at
a restaurant and he had a heart attack, and she's
being investigated because she left the kids in a hotel
room and went to the hospital with him.
Speaker 4: But it's kind of misleading because when you.
Speaker 3: First hear that, you're like, Okay, well, so she left
the kids in a hotel room, they're safe while she
just went to the hospital and then she sent her
friend to go check on them. But here's the thing.
She left the kids in a hotel room, a five
month old and a two year old while she went
to dinner. Okay, And here's the other thing. And this
reminded me of you, and I'll tell you why, because
you're an absentee parent. Reminded me of that story you
told about when you guys, when you went out with
I think it was were you with Jimmy Kimmel or
you were with Bill who are you a bunch of
like yeah, and you guys took her in Ellison tell
uson and you had the kids in the hotel room right,
and then you.
Speaker 2: Daniel got an argument about it. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
but you.
Speaker 3: Guys were like right downstairs by the pool, right, and
the kids were upstairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the room. And they were older. They weren't
that young, okay, but this is this.
Speaker 3: Is where I was like, Okay, well if they left
a five month old and a two year old in
the room and went downstairs to like the hotel lobby
to have dinner, I mean, and they were had I
can kind of see it. No, they weren't even in
the hotel. They were blocks away. Oh yeah, no, they
left the hotel, left blocks away at a restaurant having dinner.
Then the guy has a heart attack, you know, hot on.
That's terrible, right, But then she leaves in the ambulance
with her husband and just leaves the kids. So then
she tells she calls her friends and says like, can
you go check on the kids, But the hotel was like, no,
we're not.
Speaker 4: They're like we're not, just gonna let you in a
hotel room because you say so.
Speaker 3: You say that like no, So then the hotel called
the police and the police went into the room and
found a five month old baby.
Speaker 2: That five month old baby, that is a maze.
Speaker 3: That baby was probably screaming. It's and I don't care
if you say, well, I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's my opinion.
Speaker 1: I find that one.
Speaker 6: How old were the kids when you were doing that?
Speaker 1: With these kids, well, from what I remember, they weren't.
There was no baby, there was no infant. They were
like maybe five or something like that. But they were
in the room.
Speaker 2: We were by the we were by the pool and
their room we could see and then but yeah, you
could see. You could see in the door and they
had the monitor and everything. But it was a pain
and asked to get to you, you had to go.
Speaker 3: Like it was a if they needed you, they could
open the curtain or knock in the window, and they
had a monitor they.
Speaker 6: Could hear like it was that they were old enough.
Speaker 5: But I remember I did see this story because then
I thought I just oh, I just read it, and
she was like, oh, well, I had a we had
a camera on them the whole time.
Speaker 6: So I know it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: I remember her saying, yeah, So I just think I
find that weird to.
Speaker 6: Be walks away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and how I don't understand.
Speaker 1: How now that's too young?
Speaker 3: And also how did they have a She said that
her cell phone was videoing them, right or something? Well,
then how did you see your cell phone?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: I find that story to be very sus because like,
how did you see you had a camera?
Speaker 6: Did you do?
Speaker 3: You just travel with cameras so you had a camera
trained on them and then you had the feed on
your phone Like that that tells me that you.
Speaker 4: Do this all the time, like well the special cameras.
Speaker 1: Here an app where you where she can look on
the phone.
Speaker 3: And but at what what's she looking at? Though she
has her phone now with her she's on a different location,
what's she looking at?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Does she have a camera and she sets up a
camera camera in the room and then she monitors that
feed from her phone.
Speaker 6: I don't know what I figured that's what that's what
it's traveling with.
Speaker 4: Who's traveling with all that with a camera equipment to train?
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's.
Speaker 5: Things now where I must have some kind of baby
camera that just hooks directly into your phone. So if
they're at dinner or something, she's like putting the phone
down while they're at dinner, and the app is just
recording them, and she's just staring at the recording.
Speaker 4: That's right, But what's camera?
Speaker 1: She puts the camera?
Speaker 3: Whatever is that you buy that?
Speaker 6: You just download the app?
Speaker 5: And I assume, right, I don't know the idea of
leaving a five month on Yeah, that's insane, crazy, five
five blocks away, even if you are just staring at
a monitor the whole time. The thought of like leaving
Blake alone in a hotel room five blocks away and
she would like get up and walk around and be
scared to be in the room, and then exactly how
terrible would you feel she just started crying and you
weren't there and it took you, I don't know, just
to get back there.
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, So she's being investigated now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And it was interesting because it brought up a lot
of people had different opinions. You know, most people, of course,
were like, that's crazy, right, And most people were like,
that's so sad that her husband he died, Oh he did, yeah,
he died. But and it's it's a tragic story, but
it was just very jarring, like why are you Why
would you think that that's normal to go out to
dinner like you well that.
Speaker 1: Too, but why you got to get an ambulance?
Speaker 2: Like I'd be like, all right, you guys got them,
are good, I'm going to get the kids around the
kids and that she's got to get in the ambulance
with him?
Speaker 1: For what is she going to do?
Speaker 4: Why did?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm I know a lot of people are
by like like, oh, that's her husband. He's doing I
don't know, but like when you got kids, I'd be like, Okay,
he's in good hands.
Speaker 1: Now, Hi, tailor to the hotel and get the kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then go meet them at the hospite. I
feel like that's what what does she need to get
in the ambulance for?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a.
Speaker 3: Weird story, and you know, of course some people were like, wow,
she was only like But I think the headline was
very misleading because if you read the story, you're like oh,
Because at first, of course, I was like, well, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: They're investigating her.
Speaker 3: So she I understand, she jumped in the ambulance and
she left the kids for a minute, thinking right, I
don't know. I still think that would be something similar
happened to me where I thought. This was many years ago.
Elbie was like.
Speaker 4: Six months old.
Speaker 3: She was in her crib and it had taken her
so long to get to sleep. And John was really sick,
and I didn't know what was wrong with him. He
had I think I've told you this story before. He
had It turned out he had really bad food poisoning.
We think he might have even had batchelism. We'd eaten
some seafood and he felt like he was paralyzed. He
couldn't he was numbs.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: But he thought he didn't know what was wrong with him.
He thought he might be having a stroke or a
heart attack. He was really scared, and he was in
the bathroom. He had shut the bathroom door and he
was in there for a long time. And then he
finally was like call nine one one. Of course, I
start freaking out. You know, I'm crying, and he and
he said if anything, if anything happens, I just know
I love you, and tell Ilby I love her.
Speaker 4: And I was like, shut up, You're not gonna die.
Speaker 3: Stop it, you know, And I was streaming, so I'm
on the phone with the paramedics, and they can't find
my house because GPS wasn't as good as it is now,
and there's two streets of the same name right in
my neighborhood, and the ambulance was on the wrong street.
So they kept saying, we're here, and I was like,
you're not here, You're on the wrong street. Anyway, they
finally got to our house and they checked his vitals
and they were going to take him to the hospital.
And I was really scared, but I would never have
left Lbi at home in bed.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: I freaking got her together, put in the car seat.
Speaker 3: And went to the hand to the hospital, Like it
would never have occurred to me to be like, she'll
be fine, I'm going to run to the hospital with
my husband, like, And I was very panicked, and I
really did think something terrible was happening.
Speaker 4: I was scared, but I can't imagine leaving her there.
Speaker 3: And I think so that she's the same age as
this woman's kid was. But then of course she could.
She had to leave them because she had to, because
the whole point was she'd.
Speaker 1: Already left them, right They're already back blocks.
Speaker 4: Away in the so you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, you and I would go back, but we
wouldn't have left them in the first place, and she
wouldn't have had to make that decision.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: I wonder what's going to happen with that?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Where was she located?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think she was. I will tell
you New York City, yep. Wow.
Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of charges they would.
Speaker 3: She was arrested and charged with child in danger Wow,
for leaving the girls, who are five months and two
years old, unattended at the Yale Club at fifty Vanderbilt Avenue. Yeah, so,
she said, The mom said in a statement. When her
husband collapsed, she accompanied him to the hospital and asked
her parents and a close friend to watch the kids
as I monitored them by camera, And she claimed the
hotel wouldn't allow her friend in and call and called
NYPD instead.
Speaker 5: I guess if there are some if there are people
stationed there and you have a camera like sitting on
them and you can see something happen and immediately call
the friend that is next door down the hall and say, like, oh,
they're they're crying, they're fussy.
Speaker 6: Can you go in there and check on them?
Speaker 4: But they didn't have a key.
Speaker 1: They didn't have a.
Speaker 6: Key, so this wasn't established ahead of time. I want
to just establish that ahead of time.
Speaker 5: But if it was established, and I'd be like, okay,
then that situation I would be like, okay.
Speaker 1: Well then well okay. But did they were these friends
staying in the hotel?
Speaker 6: That's what I was assuming. I was assuming they were
like down.
Speaker 3: The hall or oh okay, well then yeah, well then
I can It's a fifteen minute walk. So imagine from
the place they were, the Yelle Club to the restaurant
where they were eating, is a fifteen minute walk.
Speaker 1: Are where where they're where? Were? Where were their friends were?
They say?
Speaker 3: But the friends didn't have access to the hotel room
is the problems. So I mean, they weren't ever planning
on having the friends check on their kids.
Speaker 1: They were just gonna, hey, I could probably thought nothing
was going to go on.
Speaker 4: I understand they.
Speaker 3: Went out to dinner at eight o'clock at night, so
maybe the kids had been were asleep, right, I don't know.
I just wouldn't feel comfortable with that, and I would think,
God forbid, what if the worst happens?
Speaker 1: And then the worst happens?
Speaker 4: You know, I guess they're just you know what that
lady has doesn't have anxiety.
Speaker 1: No, that's true, she's just flying by the seat of
her pants. Helped me for the last.
Speaker 4: Standing outside of my car in a rainy parking lot.
Speaker 1: I lost my keys, the car's broken.
