Speaker 1: Decision a face Sunny Sun on I had Ovision night
to Hey, everybody, welcome to for crying out loud. I
don't know why, but I feel like we had a
week off. I know, I mean we did have a
week off, like school. I feel like you and I
I feel like we haven't done a show in two weeks. Yeah,
I know, that's how it feels. So much has happened.
We hugged each other when we saw each other. It's
because so much. It's been a crazy busy but yet, yeah,
it feels like it's been a month because pre pre Thanksgiving,
we did shows basically talking about what we were going
to do for Thanksgiving, right, and then you all listen
to that show of us predicting our Thanksgiving on Friday,
But in actuality, we hadn't That's right, right, Yeah, we did,
we talked. In actuality, we hadn't had Thanksgiving. Yeah, now
that you.
Speaker 2: Know that, Vinnie says the Vinnie the nutrition has said
that trip the fan is not. The turkey is not
what makes us tired?
Speaker 1: Oh what is it? Overeating?
Speaker 2: It's all the carbs, all the pies and the you know,
the yams and the It kind of makes sense He's like,
it's not the Turkey, although there is trip to fan
in Turkey, but I don't know if it's enough to, like,
you know, make you feel like a darted bear at
the end of the night.
Speaker 1: I ate so much, not to be a big hack,
but I ate a lot of food on Thanksgiving. I
have been. I've been off sugar for like really yeah,
for congratulations, like almost a month, because I wasn't eating
sugar at Halloween. Had stopped right before, because Halloween is
usually just the death of me. Like, if I'm eating
sugar during Halloween, I will just make myself ill, right,
I mean, the way people drink until they're drunk, I'll
eat sugar until I'm just so slurring words at John yes,
yelling at my kids. So I didn't do it, and
now I've been sort of on a roll, but it was.
It definitely was hard at Thanksgiving. So I made up
for it in appetizer consumption. Nice. Nice, what's your favorite appetizer?
I like a dip me too, meat.
Speaker 2: All I do is dip, not just for appetizers to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: That's my deal. I dip, you dip, I dip we dip.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, whoa, whoa. Can I
just tell you something that is exciting? Yes? Please, Okay,
it's about It's about Lile Yele crocodile. Huh. So. One
of the one of the things that Xander and ly
bonded about at school was that Lyle posted something like
in a chat about how much he loves Elton John
or Queen and I one or the other that he
said first, and Xander thought that was cool, like he
posted a picture of Elton John or whatever. Anyway, it
turned out as I guess you guys know from when
we first started hanging out that he loves the band Queen,
and it's something that kind of kept him sane. I
think during the time that he was like in foster
care and like he had this obsessive love of like
all things like Freddie Mercury and the band and you know,
other classic rock And he'd gone to see the movie
and then we showed him the movie when he was
at our house. The Queen he hadn't seen he'd seen
the Elton John movie. He hadn't seen the Queen movie
because it came out when he was in foster care
and the foss oh right parents wouldn't take him right right?
So when to So he came over and I was like,
you want to see the ass his mom? First? He
was like, yes, it's fine. Anyhow, I saw on a
thing that a Queen tribute band, oh is coming to
the Canyon club House and I was like, Xander, do
you think I called them and I asked if I
could bring kids and they said yes, really with an adult.
So I said, do you think Lyle would want to
go see Queen? And Xander was like, what, really, I
go to a Queen. It's obviously a tribute band and
he was like, Mom, oh my gosh. Really and I
said yeah. So I texted Mom and I asked her
and she was freaking out. Oh my god. I was like,
oh my god, oh my god, everything you've done for
our family. And she was like, it's just like she's
the most appreciative. Why don't you take her? Does she
want to go? No? I well no, Also, like she's
got two other kids at home. I think it would
be and then she'd have to get off of work.
You know, she's working right right, she's so I think
she wants it for her kid and she was so excited.
So no, Robin and I are going to go. I
was like, Robin, want to take this kid? When is it?
It's you can get we can get you a ticket
because we just got chairs, so that we're going to
be like, I want to see if Sonny wants to go.
He would love that. He's so fun. It's December eleventh, Okay,
it's a week from Saturday. Got something.
Speaker 2: I think the Tali's got a game or something on
that day.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm want.
Speaker 2: To look it up December eleventh, My gosh, gosh.
Speaker 1: Anyway, he's so fun. Yeah, so Xander told Lyle, and
Lyle was freaking out. And then so there's a whole
other story beat that I'm going to get to because
Sadie and Xander had a little birthday party. Yes, and
so Lyle was there and so I was like nice,
like Lyle my queen. Right, he was like, oh my god.
So he's so excited, exciting, cute. I don't think he's
ever I mean probably not never done anything like that. Right,
it's got to be so fun.
Speaker 2: The thing a kid will always remember too, totally always
will remember.
Speaker 1: I mean, this family is still struggle. I mean they're
still struggling. I mean they have money from you guys,
from the GoFundMe, and she's been so good. She basically
it gets like doled out to her, and so she's
so grateful for it, and she's like needs it from
her rent because now she's in an apartment. But she's
every time I talk to her, she's like, thank you
for everything your friends have done for me, And like,
I'm you know, everything that we have and the fact
that we have somewhere to live and that you know,
it's all because of you guys, and I never I know,
I'm like it makes us happy and it's a good feeling.
I mean, she's so deserving. Like here's a person. You know,
you think about people when you think about people that
don't have empathy for like homeless population, you know, because
there's an assumption, as we've talked about, that they're all
mentally ill and don't want help, that you know, hey,
there's all these shelters, they just don't want help. Like
that is what I hear a lot read on nextdoor
dot com. That is maybe true for quite a few
people that do have drug and alcohol problems and mental
health issues, and yeah, they probably there are those people,
but there are also people that you just don't hear
about them find themselves with out of house and you know,
health problems and the things that befel my friend that
are no fault of her own. And then once it
happens and your kids are in foster here, people don't
understand how hard it is to get back on your
feet exactly because let's you don't have a job, you're
not trained, you know, and suddenly you have to fight
a system to show that you have any help at all.
And most like if you were out homeless for a
while and you're in transitional housing, a lot of people
you don't realize don't want to rent to you. Like
family housing has to help you find a place. They
have to be secretive about it, like they have to
not put it on their application, and then it's like surprise,
I'm getting help from la family. Yeah, there's a lot
that goes into it. So the fact that she's out
of that transitional housing where people were doing drugs, and
like she's such a like a goody goody kind of
you know, and that her son, her older son, is
back with her.
Speaker 2: And he helps and he oh, that's nice, that's nice.
That's nice that she has her older son too.
Speaker 1: But everybody out there should feel like this is a
true success story and now their kids are living like
a normal life. That's awesome. I know that's great anyway,
So that's exciting. Hi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how is your Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: It was really nice, As as I said before, nothing unexpected.
We went to my brothers, my sister in law, my
niece and nephew, and then our family friends, a couple
friend of theirs that's that I've known for forever too.
Now we're there with their daughter and that was it,
just us chosen family. We're there for like nine hours
with us ate a lot of food. Yeah. My sister
in law is such a jew like, she is like,
you know much would much prefer overfeeding than underfeeding. No
such thing as like just a keish, like exactly just
one keish each maybe, but right. Yeah, there's always like
way too much food. And every year she's like, I'm
not going to do as many appetizers this year, because
you know, so we can save room for the meal.
And then every year there's like a ton of advertisers
and I'm always happy to see them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice, that's awesome. My poor kids, well, my
poor kids. I went out, which I'll talk more about
on Patreon, but my kids went to Auntie Lawrence Adam's sister.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know, so let me just explain the scene.
Speaker 1: There is her podcast out.
Speaker 2: No, I don't not that I'm aware she have a bod.
I don't think she has a podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2: She she lives like in this old old house, like
turn of the century house, and with her boyfriend. Boyfriend
is it's like around there somewhere right, okay, or maybe
it's in still.
Speaker 1: I don't know. She moves all the time.
Speaker 2: Oh. I think this one is in Silver Lake and
she's had it for a few years now. But she
lives with her boyfriend. And her boyfriend is the nicest.
I love him so super nice and so you know.
And then she's got the three boys, which is Sonny
and Italia's cousins. But they're in their twenties, you know,
they're adults. I think the youngest is like a year
or two out of high school already, so they're you know,
they got like two of them have girlfriends. Anyway, So
there's those boys that my kids don't know very well.
They see like once every few years maybe, and even
when we get together in the past with them, a
lot of times they're not there. They're like with their
dad or they're with their girlfriends. So my kids did
not really grow up with.
Speaker 1: Them, right.
Speaker 2: And then Adam's mom, you know, she makes an she
in her old age does or was, I don't know
lately because I'm not around, but was making an effort
to see the kids at least like once a month.
Like she would haul over there, even though she's like
in a wheelchair and the step dad's got it like
wheel her around and carry her out of the you know,
it's a whole kshah. But they would come over and
visit because you know, Adam would rather them come to
us whatever, So she did. But then the dad, like,
you know, this grandpa never made an I mean, he's
didn't make any effort for his kids. He's not really
making an effort with my kids. His wife, the stepmom,
she's made you know, she's got her daughter. So Everythanksgiving
when we would get together with them, I would cook
so for.
Speaker 1: The Adams, Adam's dad, Adam's stepmom. Four parents still alive, okay,
and both stepparents and original parents okay, are all still alive,
and both mom and dad weren't great. No no, no, okay,
no and there, but they're new spouses. Each of them
make an effort. Well, the step dad is a little
he's a little geeky, you know, he's an engineer at
like Lacket or something, a little dorky like I rode
a skateboard today.
Speaker 2: Barely talks but when he talks, he sounds like he's twelve, you.
Speaker 1: Know, huh and uh uh.
Speaker 2: And then the step mom was mean to to Adam
growing up, but super nice now and is making amends.
And and she's has a daughter, and her daughter and
Adam were you know, stepbrother's sister. They were growing up,
she got to be inside the house and Adam had
to live in the garage. Yeah, like that kind of stuff.
Like she was spoiled. And then she got out of
there early. She went to college and she was she split.
Speaker 1: But now she's married and she's got three grown daughters
who are married and have you know, one of them
has kids. So they were always the life of the party.
So every year for.
Speaker 2: I don't I mean, I was cooking before the book
the kids were born, but even after so I don't know,
past like probably seventeen years. I've made the up until
last year, I've made the you know, the holiday, the
Thanksgiving meal, so everybody came to our house for Thanksgiving
always every year. Adam liked it that way. I made
the turkey, the stuff, everything.
Speaker 1: I made everything because these people and they couldn't make
a dish, they made the dessert.
Speaker 2: And his stepmom was known for her roles. She would
bring roles and then.
Speaker 1: His story if anybody out there is like, yeah, me too,
I'm known for my roles. That's bullshit. No, you know why,
that's fucking bullshit.
Speaker 2: Because Adam grew up with pot luck, pot luck, pop,
you bring this, you bring and Adam hated that. And
he's like no because he's just like it's away for
his family to be lazy, more lazy, like you bring
the Like his grandmother would throw these parties and she
would farm everything out, like I'm gonna throw a party,
but you're gonna bring the booze, you know, like so whatever, Okay.
Speaker 1: Well I understand providing alcohol, but I don't see why
you put that on your wife. Then yeah, it was
all right.
Speaker 2: What I was It looked like it was like because
you know who inspired me was Wendy, and Wendy was like,
you can do it.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's.
Speaker 2: You know, the timing is all is everything. But it's
pretty simple if you plan ahead and you can do
it all.
Speaker 1: You know whatever, See why somebody can't be in charge
of the freaking mass potatoes or somebody brings some appetites anyway,
So I made the whole. We know. What was bad, though,
was when I was pregnant with twins, and not only
did I have to cook everything, but I had to
clean everything. I had to clean.
Speaker 2: I remember him saying, like the green bathroom has got
like mold in the tile.
Speaker 1: Oh my, go clean it. Yeah, yeah, that was bad.
So every year. My point is though, like, no, forget that.
Speaker 2: So the sister, the step mother and the step sister
were the fun people of the family, the non blood
related We're always so like, you know, Hillary's sister and
this and her husband super nice, those girls super sweet.
I mean I watched them go to high school together.
You know, they went through high school when I was
young and dating Adam.
Speaker 1: Now you know they're married. Whatever. They were always the
fun people and so they came every so we look
forward to that.
Speaker 2: Now you remove them. It's like crickets, crickets, crickets. It's
just like, you know, God's waiting room. Basically, it's pretty
fucking boring, right, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So so my kids are like, well, is Hillary
and the girls coming this year? And now they're not coming?
What sorry, I'm going out, but you guys have fun.
Oh no, So they went and and so the next
day I was like, how's your thing?
Speaker 2: How was your I asked Natalia first, how was because
she was the one dreading at the most. Sonny was like, oh, whatever,
as long as the football game's on, He's fine. She's like,
yeah it was. She goes, uh, no, they lost power,
no electricity.
Speaker 1: I was like, so did you eat? And she's like, yeah,
we ate.
Speaker 2: But then I talked to Sonny and she Sonny was like, yeah,
they had a generator, so they lost power in the
middle of it. It wasn't like so all the food
was already done. They ate and it was you know,
it was fine. He goes, but no internet, and and
then Sonny's like, we were there for like two hours
in Italian's like, no, we were there four hours. I
counted hour one hour two by hour three and a half.
Speaker 1: I was like, let's go and uh.
Speaker 2: And then they invite like stragglers, like some neighbor son.
He was like, I don't know who this guy was.
He looked like Joe Gotto. You know, Joe Gotto is
one of the practical jokers.
Speaker 1: Joe. He's like, he looked like Joe Gotto with a mullet.
He was. He was awkward. He was like just like a.
Speaker 2: Fish out of water, like who's this this guy?
Speaker 1: You're like, no, wonder, he doesn't have anywhere to go
for Thanksgiving exactly, so like some neighbor.
Speaker 2: And then he's like some other lady I've never met
before who kept everybody kept going. You remember Adelaine, she
was at your Thanksgiving in two thousand, you know, Like
he's like it was what and he goes, at least
I had the football, but they didn't have the TV on.
Speaker 1: And he's like, that's my bread and butter at Thanksgiving?
Like I didn't watch TV.
Speaker 2: There was like the generator only could generate certain parts
of the house.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. Oh my god, that sounds
like good miserable miserable.
Speaker 2: And so that was their Thanksgiving and my Thanksgiving. Yeah,
I'll tell you. I'll tell you more.
Speaker 1: About you have a story, Yeah, I gotta. I got
a little story.
Speaker 2: Went carry ok, yeah, I went karayoking up. I went
to Sunset Tower, which was really nice. Uh huh with
my girlfriend Jody and a couple of friends, and then
went to uh.
Speaker 1: Then we went like then we went to Residuals. Do
you remember Residuals Residuals? Yes, I used to work there.
Remember right.
Speaker 2: Right still kicking by the way, there's a guy the
bouncer at the door wears an iron cross and sunglasses
at night, but super friendly.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's the same owner. So I don't know.
Remember I told you this story. So the owner was
this guy named Craig Tennis, who was his claim to fame.
I'm sure that he doesn't own it anymore. He was
already old at that point, so he's probably long since retired.
But so and he had this young wife named Brie.
And Brie is now like a DJ, like a but
like a a coast like a Coast FM, like one
of those like I'm I'm Brie. What Yeah, I know,
well I've heard I think that's her. You know how
they go? I Ted Stephanopolis, I think it's her. Oh okay,
she was kind of young and blonde and a total bitch. Okay, okay.
So the owner was this guy who used to be
the booker for the Tonight Show. So he was obsessed
with like I mean he opened the bar for TV people,
right because he was like a big like and he
opened it with a bunch of other people like in
the business, Like I think there were like nine people.
He got a bunch of investors together and so, but
he was obsessed with anybody that was a writer. Gary,
you have something to weigh in on. Studio looks weird?
Oh oh sorry I was. I wasn't listening to you, guys.
I look in here. It's a it's a change, yeah,
but it's dating the studio in here. I love you Thanksgiving.
So anyway, Craig would be really would always have to
warn you if somebody famous was in there. But his
idea of fame was not my idea of fame, Like
my idea of fame was that story about how Steve Lucather,
the guitar player, called me a cunt after he was
over served too many Long Island iced teas. His idea
of fame was like that guy and his friend wrote
two episodes of Hardcastle and McCormick. So their first round
is on the house and I'd be like, okay, Like
you got to treat them like VIPs. I'd be like, okay,
I'm on it. You know. Also, I was doing a
lot of drinking. Sometimes I was like literally too drunk
to like add up my checks at the end of
the night. But it was so smoky in there. Oh,
I could have mad. I was in my twenty I
was in my early twenties when I worked there, Like
these were those days, red onion days. Like I was
young because I moved to La I was only like
eighteen or nineteen, and it was one of my early
earliest jobs. Wow, Like I was probably I had probably
just turned twenty one when I was working out, old
enough to work there. But yeah, how long it's been around? Wow? Forever? Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Perry used to come in. He was a regular.
We had karaoke there, and Matt Perry would come in
and hang out. It was like a hangout place. It
was like a Cheers but people could smoke in there
and it would be so smoky. And I remember one
time I had to open the back door so I
could like lean out and breathe, and Craig got really
mad and screamed at me. Oh wow, And I think
I told him to fuck off or or I told
his wife to fuck off for the Stephanie, I know,
and I got fired, or I quit, or he I
knew he was going to fire. You know. Yeah, I
fired a lot.
Speaker 2: It's still the same kind of place. I mean, there's
you know a lot of industry people, you know.
Speaker 1: But they didn't have we went.
Speaker 2: I went there a couple of nights a couple of
weeks ago, and then we went there aft. So we
went to we had some you know, martinis at the dinner,
and then we went there but it was like dead,
and so we went to another place that had karaoke,
The Oaks, which is by Kaylen's house. Well, now, Kaylyn,
is anybody listening to our show? No, Kaylin's gone. Garry
just wants to admire the studio.
Speaker 1: There's no timer. There's no timer. We can't tell what
it's Well, let's talk about Hello Tushy, Hello Tushy.
Speaker 2: I just want you guys to know I'm listening in
the other room.
Speaker 1: Matt. You guys are doing great. A lot of great conversation,
a lot of jokes, some twists and turns in the story.
Just keep up the great work. Thank you, Matt. You
guys aren't seeing the timer. I'll put the monitor on
because we do have a timer running. But it feels
like no time at all, am I right? Right? I
mean it could we could be four minutes in, we
could be twenty you know, idea, what where we are? Okay?
So okay? So then after karaoke you tried, so you
went to the Oaks? Yeah, we went to the Oaks
by your house, Kaylin. You know the Oaks. Isn't that
your place? I used to live in and I would
go to it often. It's fine. Yeah, they have karaoke.
Yeah yeah, I've done karaoke. Yeah yeah, Okay, well I
haven't really done much karaoke in my own.
Speaker 2: I don't karaoke, but I like watching it. I'll cheer
friends on, but I'm not a karaoke person.
Speaker 1: That's not me. Can I just tell you that, I mean,
this is a weird leap to make. Yeah, and I
have so many other things to talk about, but I
do want to complain about all the adults in my
life who have birthdays right around this time of year,
who are way too into their birthday. None of them
listen to this show. But it is like, yeah, it's
worse than my kids, like Mike's. First of all, well,
I was gonna say my one set of kids, and
then LB you know, so two birthdays in November, November
twelfth and November twenty six, which I just had to,
you know, help plan something. You have to make their
day special. They're your freaking kids, exactly right. Yeah, but
I'm like, what, I don't think that my adult friend's
birthday should be equaling the amount of special. No.
Speaker 2: I have a friend recently that did the same thing,
was like, you know, like.
Speaker 1: She was like, it's my birthday, so like we gotta
go out, we gotta go out, we gotta go out.
I'm like and I'm like, yeah, I gotta figure it out.
Speaker 2: I got to figure out my schedule with Adam because
I don't know which weekend, you know, I gotta it's
holidays and our schedules are changing, so let me talk.
Speaker 1: Oh, just tell them it's my birthday.
Speaker 2: Just tell them.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: And by the way, you know Adam very well. Do
you think dude, you don't give a fuck. It's my
birth He gets to give a shit about his own.
Speaker 1: Kids birth You think he gives it about your birthday? Right? Oh,
let me rearrange my schedule for her birthday, for Josephine's birthday,
Like what right are you fucking? I swear to God
this happened not like two weeks ago. Like, come on, dude, really,
and that makes me not want to celebrate your birthday
by the way.
Speaker 2: That just pushes me away. I know that makes me like,
I don't give me.
Speaker 1: Too, it's too much pressure. Yeah. And the thing is,
even though you might know in your mind that that
pressure is being spread around to all their friends, it
doesn't make it better. Somehow, it just makes me more resentful. Huh.
It's like, get over it. And you know those people
are also and some of you guys are guilty of this,
so just pretend I'm not talking about you, But those
are the same people that will also be Like, I
know it's ridiculous that I'm this into my birthday, but
I can't help it. I've just always been a person
who's into my birthday. Well you can help that, you
can help it. I don't get it because I don't mind.
Speaker 2: Celebrating Semi's birthday, but don't put the pressure on, like,
don't don't be like what what.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna do? What do we know?
Speaker 2: Like most of my close friends, Suzanne Melissa, like, you know,
I'll say like, it's your birthday, let's you know, No,
they always go, oh, we don't need to, like let's
just let's just go to.
Speaker 1: Dinner, Like that's how normal, that's how are right, right?
But we all have that friend, one of my friends
who I love, I really do love her. This is not,
you know, a fatal fly or anything, right, but she
and she knows even she's one of those people like
this year she was like and she we just went
out for her birthday, but she was like, you got
this year. I really don't care. My husband even said, like,
you make too big a deal of your birthday. It's
too much pressure for everyone. She's like, so I really
don't care this year. It's fine, But all of her
friends were like, yes, you do. You're the that's all
you care about is your birthday. You plan for it
like three months in advance, right, So of course her
friend we're all like, okay, well here's the day that
for so and so's birthday that we're all getting together.
But meanwhile, there's another friend who's more of like an
outline to me in the friendship. She's birthday girl who's
really into her birthday. This is like a very good
friend of hers, and it's she's in my mom friend group.
But I'm not, like I'm not the closest to her,
let's put it that way. But but I'm also invited
to hers, but like it's like we're every weekend. Is
like then it's this person, and then I have my
other friend who's like really into her birthday, and it's
like becomes a whole thing of like it. I mean,
it's like a war room, like figuring out like, well,
I want this person to come because I you know,
I've recently talked to this person this person to come,
but I don't know if these two people and oh
my god, right, I know I don't need to be
in on the ground floor of all the planning for
your birthday, right, we're not that cool, Like you're not
my child, like I did love wanning for my own
freaking kids. Yes, it's so weird, isn't it so bizarre?
Oh my god? How is your kids' birthday? Oh my god,
so fun really so. And it's so funny because I
made myself a little bit crazy because a lot of
you guys will understand this feeling. I didn't want them
to feel less planned than LB. But Elbe is super social,
so she, you know, she's got to do something for
her birthday. They all do, all these girls this age.
You know, she was turning seventeen, so she wanted to.
It's just funny because she's texting me right now. But
it's it's nothing emergency. You know when you see a
text from your kid. Yes, it's either absolutely nothing or
it's like, oh my god, I'm sick yetime, it's not
nothing in.
Speaker 2: Middle ground, like has your day gone now?
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so she had and I think I
told you I already told you this, but she had
like a dinner with a bunch of her friends and
but then we had to take her out, so their
party was not on their birthday. And you know what
this when they're kids, you can't like when you're an
adult and you're planning. Let's say you're an adult and
your birthday's on a Friday, but you're doing something on Saturday.
You don't need to celebrate all day Friday. You're like, oh,
we're doing something on Saturday. You don't need like all
day long. You don't wear a crown around the house
and go it's my birthday like and expect. Well, normal
people don't, but when it's a kid, like I don't know,
I remember being a kid and it's like a special day.
So you can't just like be like, listen, you guys,
your parties tomorrow, so let's not worry about your birthday
to night. Of course, yeah, so you have to do
take them up for dinner. So it's a whole kashaw
them on the freaking November because Albie had the family
dinner on the Friday night and then come home and
we had to have sing our Happy Birthday with just
the family and give her presents. But then like the
next day was her party, so then I had to
arrange for all the kids to go to dinner and
so same. But so the kids, so you know, I'm
always complaining they don't have friends. But luckily the ones
that they do have, we're all available for Thanksgiving weekend
and they decided Sadie wanted to go do laser Tag.
Oh yeah, yeah, and it's super fun. I made it
like this little old school birthday. I said, you know what,
I can't. I don't want to deal with like ten
twelve kids in a restaurant. Oh my god, I just
thought about something else that I have to tell you.
Remind me that I'm going to add to your Patreon. Okay,
I can't say it on the regular show. Okay, I'm
just going to remind myself. Okay, it's about my neighbors.
But anyway, so they invited all their friends and we
were going to go to Laser Tag first and then
come home and do like a little party and have
some cake and have a good day. But I was
stressing myself out. I know you're going to know what
I mean where I was like, okay, but I'm going
to have to time the pizza to get delivered. I
don't have to figure out when we're going to get
home from Laser Tag exactly so I can be there
for the pizza. And then are the kids going to
be like, we're hungry, we want to Of a sudden,
I was like, why don't I just have them come
over have the pizza early? Right, like do a five
o'clock five pm, have pizza. And that's what I did.
I made it easier on myself. I was like, who cares,
they're kids. They'll eat when they eat. So at five
o'clock we had pizza, ruffles, potato chips, French onion, dip,
m and MS sprite and coke. Like I just made
it like this old school like kids. Yeah, they loved it.
They loved it. They all the kids like sat around
the table and ate the food and some like some
salad and some grapes and like they hung out. Of course,
if it was adults, that would kill two hours. With kids,
it's like twenty minutes. La They're like okay, now what yeah,
but I was like okay, took them to the laser Tag.
We played laser Tag. They have like the best time.
We did three rounds of laser Tag and then we
all came home. Then we did cake and then the kids.
Then I started texting parents like we're done. You'll get
your kids. Yeah that's awesome, Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: And then Xander had his bff with the famous mom
he slept over. Each kid could have one friend sleepovers.
I couldn't deal with more than that. Yeah, that's perfect.
That's perfect. Yeah. And Sadie had her friend that I've
discussed on Patreon, who sometimes seems not into her. But
we're we're in a good period. It's good and it
was lovely. That's awesome. They had such a good weekend,
which was so nice. That's so nice. But they were
so bummed to go back to school. I can't even
tell you. They looked like like a bomb hit our house.
I know, it's like, I know, I know. They looked trauma.
Speaker 2: And I had friends over on Saturday night. He was
up all night, and then he had friends over again
yesterday to watch football and stuff, and then he was
exhausted and he went to at eight o'clock, text me,
I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted, good night, love you,
And he went to bed, didn't even really eat dinner,
And then around I'm chilling in my bedroom, like eleven o'clock,
he comes walking in to get Phil out of my
room to take him to his I'm like, wait, I
thought you were asleep. He goes, I fell asleep for
like forty five minutes, well like an hour maybe, and
now I can't go back to sleep, and I'm like,
are you kidding. Then I get a text from him
at four o'clock in the morning. I have been up
and off all night, like his sleep schedule is off.
So now he had to miss like first period this morning.
Oh and he's walking to school. Yeah, well so first
period this morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know the math teacher that we do
not like, Yes, well that teacher. So I don't know
about your kids, but Sadie is like if she has
to learn something or have tutoring. So, by the way,
our listener Yvonne called her on yeah, the tutor. She's
been Sadie's tutor. She's awesome, ah, amazing. If you guys
should you guys should hire her? Did she come out?
Guess who? I'm recommending her to, Yvonne. If you're just
hearing this, I'm recommending her to actresses. To my friend.
He's an actress, who said I told I told her
I went out with her the other night and I
told her all about the tutor. I didn't say exactly,
I don't really want her listening to the podcast, so
I didn't say, oh I know her from a podcast.
I just said I just know her and she's great
and anyway, so she had tutored Sadie for this math
test that was supposed to happen the friday before the break.
The teacher decided we're not having the test. He didn't
give the test because he'd been absent like the day before,
so they hadn't done something that he wanted to do.
So he basically iced all the kids and is giving
him the test today, which is Monday. So of course
Sadie yesterday was like so already dread. She's like, so
we have the math test on Monday. And I was like, well,
do you remember how to do everything? Because she'd had
tutoring the night before the test and she's like, I
don't know. I go should we get Yvonne to like
do you want to do an emergency session so that
to refresh you so that you feel good going? And
she was like yes please. So I messaged Evonne. I
was like, hey, man, can you help out like last minute?
She was like yep, I can do it right now.
So she does it on zoom zoom. Nice. Sadie sends
what she's working on and she Yvonne goes over it
on her own, like make sure that and then she
teaches them so gently, so like patiently, and she's just
so like the antithesis of these teachers that are like, Okay,
let's go. She's like, really make sure that Sadie understands it,
and says, don't just say you understand it. That's what
I'm here for, and tells them in a way that's
so simple for them, and she felt so good afterwards.
Speaker 2: She was like, yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready for my test.
I wonder if she does chemistry. That's what I need,
any chemistry.
Speaker 1: Well, I told you I have a chemistry tutor for you.
Speaker 2: Go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I love.
Speaker 2: She has a she's had this this older kid teacher
here and there. But yeah, I mean, we'll see. I
have to ask her.
Speaker 1: I have a service. It's called I can't remember what
they're called, but if anybody wants it, they do over zoom. Yeah,
and it's great. They're pre med students. Nice. Yeah, not expensive.
Well that's good.
