Speaker 1: I made a decision pace sunny sound. I had a vision.
It's nice. What's up everybody? Ah boy, welcome for crying
out loud. It's been a harrowing couples three days for aw.
Speaker 2: You guys are listening to this episode a little late, Yes,
when I can get home and produce it, yeah, jey no,
And of course, but I mean yeah, so the reason
why it is now coming up for you yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Uh. The reason why we didn't get to do our
show yesterday was Phil is in the hospital. And I
don't I don't want to start crying. I don't know
what happened. But again, he must have eaten something I had.
It's as far as I know. He did not eat
anything at my house. He didn't get into the trash.
You know, usually it's easy to find that out. So
a couple of days, I would say, around Thursday of
last week, I think he like he threw up, which
he does from time to time. But he threw up
when he went outside to do his business in the morning,
and I thought, oh, that's weird. But then he ate
his breakfast and then he was fine, and then he
was fine, and then the next day he seemed he
didn't want to go on a long walk. I tried
to take him. He was like really seemed tired. Then
on Saturday, gave him his breakfast. He threw it up
and then he was drooling and drooling and drooling, and
and then I was like, oh god, what you know,
what gives? I don't why why he didn't eat any
I didn't see him eat anything anyway, So he was
he was kind of like out of it. So I
called his vet. They're open on Saturdays. They they I
was waiting for them to call me back. They couldn't
get him in, so I had to take them to
the there's an er twenty four hour vet in Glendale.
So I took him there. And this was on Saturday.
This was now Saturday evening, and he hadn't eaten all day. No,
he ate his breakfast. He ate his breakfast, but then
he didn't eat the rest of the day. So I
took him there and they, you know, they're like, oh,
you can leave him for a couple hours. It's going
to take a while where we have to you know,
do X rays and tests and blah blah blah. So
they call me back and they said, and I've been
through this with Phil so many times, so I was
just like, yeah, yeah, what you know, Okay, what I'm not.
This is not my first rodeo. I know how much
I have to pay. I know what the procedure is.
You know, they wanted to get your initial here initially
and everything, and in fact they know Phil over there.
So anyway, so they said it looks in his X ray,
we don't see any obstruction. We do see something. They
kept saying grain, granule, granule material. And I was like,
like what and they said it could be like sand
or like little pebbles or rocks or something. And I'm like, okay,
my backyard has all grass and then it has that
fake birch thing that I had to fence off, but
that's he can't get to. So I don't there's no
pebbles and rocks, you know. I think Natalia took him
on the walk the other day. Maybe he got he
ate something when she was on this walk with him.
But I'm like, all right, uh, that's wed. But anyway,
they said it looks like he could probably going to
pass it. So we gave him a shot for anti
nausea nausea medicine that should last for twenty four hours,
so he's not going to be drooling anymore. And you know,
feed him boiled chicken and rice, which is the usual
go to. So I, you know, on the way home
and get him missed food. And then I fed him
dinner that night. I gave him just a little bit,
not too much of the chicken and rice and he
ate it. Oh, he did. He did eat it on
Saturday eating. Yeah. And then they didn't give me any
medicine to go home with or anything. They said, you know,
he should be passing it on his own. Well that night, okay, wait,
that was Saturday night. So Saturday night he did not
want to leave. He'll go into like the shower in
Sunny's bathroom because it's like cool, he likes. But in
my bathroom, he just he's fine laying on the ground
in my bathroom this and then usually gets on the
bed and sleeps with me. Well, Saturday night he wanted
was scratching at the shower door and he wanted to
go in the shower and lay down, and I was like, oh,
you know, he probably feels comfortable in there. So he
laid down in there and he didn't leave that spot
mostly all night. Then Sunday morning, I'm thinking he's gonna
be better because that's what happened, and he was not better.
He did not have his personality. He did not want
to move. I had to get him up, like, come on,
let's go to the bathroom. He went outside, he had diary,
and then he usually comes back and eats his breakfast.
So I gave him his chicken and Rice did not Oh.
He not only came back in from going to the bathroom.
Usually in the morning, his routine as he comes back
in and then he goes right to his bowl because
he knows it's time to eat. This time he came
right back in and he walked down the hallway towards
Natalia's room and laid down outside of Sunny in Italia's room,
which he never does. And I'm like, okay, that's weird.
Maybe he's still not feeling good. So I made I
gave him I go, come on, Phil, let's eat eat, eat,
and he's like, did not want it, did not anything.
That just walked away. Now that I've never seen Phil
in my life, even when he was as sick, he
would still manage to eat and then throw up. He
did not want anything, and he went back into my shower,
laid down there and then didn't move like all day.
And now I'm like, okay, his vets closed, but the
hospital's opened. But I know that they and they said
that they did test results. They're gonna let me know
the next day. So I called this frecking hospital like
five times throughout the day, starting in the morning, all
the way until ten o'clock at night, on hold for
like a half an hour. Now I know it's a
trauma center, so they're dealing with animals coming in that
were in accidents and stuff, and I get it, but
I left five messages throughout the day and I'm like,
my dog is not feeling good. And their answer is
always like, well, then you can bring them back in,
and I'm like, well, i'd like to know. I'd like
to talk to doctor. I want to know what his
test results are. You know, well, you know it is
he vomiting. No, he hasn't vomited, but he's not eating
and he's not acting himself and he doesn't want to eat,
which is not himself. And they were like, okay, well
we'll have the doctor call you with the results. Then
by ten o'clock I'm like, okay, I left a message
for his VET for Monday morning, and I'm like, I'm
going to bring them there because they know Phil and
they work with that hospital. So so then Sunday, I'm
on hold for like forty minutes Sunday evening. Then finally
they got on the phone and they're like, they said, well, yeah,
his test results came back. Oh, we did x rays.
We don't have the radiology the radiologists report back, so
we just did X rays. But in the preliminary x
rays we didn't see We just told you what we saw.
And I said, what about his blood work, Well, we
didn't do blood work, And I was like, I thought
they did blood work, but they didn't. And I mean,
chi ching fifteen hundred dollars later, I thought with all
that they would have done blood work. Yeah, no, they didn't.
So they're like, well, if he's vomiting, then you should
bring him in. I go, well, he has n't vomited,
he's just not eating. And I said, do you think
I can wait and bring him to the vet in
the morning, And they said yes, but if you want
to bring him in, I'm like, I don't want to
bring him back he doesn't want to get up, he
doesn't want to move, you know. So then Monday, then
Sunday night he was outside constantly going diarrhea and like
waking me up or if it wasn't going outside, he
was pawing at my bed, and I'm thinking he wants
to go out, and I get up and I go
into the living room, and then he would just PLoP
down in the living room. He wouldn't. I'm like, do
you want to go peeps? Go peep? No, he didn't.
He just wanted to. I don't know what he wanted.
Like he was telling me, I'm not feeling good, right,
And so I was like, okay, buddy, just hold on
because I left a message for the vet. So they
called me Monday morning and said, yeah they can. Was
that yes? So I called you on No, no, I say,
and Sunday night going to record in the morning, right right,
So Monday they said bring him in. So I bring
him in and they're like, well, let me leave him here.
We're gonna get in touch and get his results from
the other hospital. So I left him there yesterday for
most of the days. And then that's when you were
also waiting all day for them to call you, and
they weren't calling you, yes, and what had turned out?
They were calling me It was going straight to voicemail
because my phone at my house, as you know, has
bad reception. And I kept going. I kept hearing my
phone like like I have a new message and it's
the doctor called like twice and I was like, oh,
so anyway, I talked to him in the afternoon and
he said, it looks he has an infection. All his
vital signs are fine, but he has some like an infection,
and we believe it's probably because he has a foreign
object obstructing his in his intestines. So then because it
was like he can kind of pass it, we don't
know if he can pass it, we'll see. So then
they give him these things there. They're like gel or
pellet gel something that they shoot into his intestines, and
I think it's so they can see it and they
can see it around the object and see if it's moving,
if it's moving, and he's passing it on his own.
So they shot that into him and then they said
it will take like twelve to sixteen hours for it
to work. So then we're going to just basically send
him home with you. They gave me canned food to
give him and then just half a can of food.
He ate half a can of food there because he
didn't eat anything since Saturday. So that's was I was
really worried about. And now it's Monday, so he ate
half a can yesterday and then he ate half a
can they told me last night, and then he was
supposed to fast and then to bring him back this morning,
Tuesday morning, and then they can monitor to see if
it's moving. And he said, if it's moving on his
own own, great. If it's not, then we'll have to
do surgery here tomorrow afternoon, he said. I would know,
you know, early afternoon, late morning, he said, and that
they would call me. So here we are. I don't know.
It's it's almost eleven, yeah, oh is it. Yeah, it's
ten to eleven. So I dropped him off at eight
and if it's not moving there, they'd have to do surgery.
And he said it's going to be a high risk
surgery because he's already had previous two surgeries for removal.
He had one when he was like a year old
and then another like I don't know, back in the day.
So he's nine. He's going to be ten in September.
Oh my gosh, I know, I know, so I'm hoping.
So then this morning, okay, so last night he was
pawing at me and waking me up. He had to
go out a couple times, but he did the same thing,
like he just wanted me to, I don't know, get up,
and then he would go into the living room and
like lay down. So I just left my door open.
And then but I didn't sleep good because I was
like worried about him, like is he you know, what's
going on? Is he having a seizure in the living
room and I'm not out there, I don't know. So
so then this morning he's And then yesterday when he
got home, he seemed in good spirits. He was wagging
his tail. He see, he had more energy, and he
was definitely interested in food and treats. And then this morning,
because I couldn't feed him, so I had to just
get up, let him go to the bathroom. And then
he came back in and he went to want to
go eat, but he's fasting. So I was like, let's
go ahead, put him in them. Maybe he's feeling better, yes,
And he's moving, yes, and he was perked up this morning.
He was wagonist. Even the nurse's notice like, oh, he's
seems much better than he was yesterday. Yeah, so maybe
he's not going to need surgery. I'm hoping, no, right,
I'm hoping that. I'm hoping.
Speaker 2: It's got to be moving for him to be feeling better.
Maybe the infect did they give him antibiotics for the infection.
Speaker 1: They gave him a shot for the infection, and then
I don't know that if they're going to give me
medicine when I hopefully take him home today, they'll give
him me medicine. But I mean he has to have surgery.
Then he's going to have the cone on and oh yeah,
all over again.
Speaker 2: But let's send out good vibes right now. Our audience
can't because they're not listening to this. I know they
can't be part of it, right, but I will send
out very good vibes for no surgery, Thank you, thank you,
No surgery, hopefully not. Yeah, it's so hard our doggies.
I know Penelope has been declining like pretty I know.
Speaker 1: You sent me the cutest picture of her, but all
she does the way you're describing Phil sick is Penelope
all the time, really like she just lays around, she
just sleeps and cries. She cries in the evening, she whinds.
She doesn't cry, but she she like.
Speaker 2: She really there's not really any times of the day
where she's like in a good mood. But it's also
because it's really fucking hot. Yeah, so she doesn't want
to go out really, but also she can't. She's really
having trouble walking. So it's very, very difficult for her
to stand up, and this has happened rapidly. She can't maneuver.
Speaker 1: So we have two there's two steps, two wooden steps
to get into our bedroom, and going up them is
really hard for her because her legs like slide on
the steps. She has no.
Speaker 2: Traction anymore, and she just doesn't have strength. But I
bought some which should be here today, like this grip tape.
Oh yeah, for that people put in boats or bathtub,
but it can also be used indoors outdoors.
Speaker 1: It can be used on a wood floor. Nice. I
literally looked it up by googling something for dogs to
grip and it so that arrives today and we're gonna
line that on the stairs. So that she at least
gets some grip. Oh nice, that's good, and maybe put.
Speaker 2: It in a few places like in our bedroom. Yeah,
and then I mean, she really can't get up on
the bed anymore, but she won't do She can't do
steps either, So I kind of don't want to do
a ramp because I just don't the bed is a
little bit high, and I just don't see her trying
to get up on a walk up a ramp to
get into our beds. So we just lift her Hell yeah, okay,
problem is she jumps back down.
Speaker 1: She wants to be off the bed.
Speaker 2: Well, she'll no, she wants to be on the bed,
and she'll put her paws like you know how beds are.
There's like almost a lower part of the bed. Yeah,
the frame of the frame, right, she'll put her paws
on the frame, and that tells us she wants to
get up on the bed that we put We lift
her up. Yeah, but then she'll be on for like
an hour or two, and then she just will just
jump off she wants. And it's got to be so
painful every time she does it, I know, but she
does it and she doesn't cry when it happens.
Speaker 1: What about a little step, A little step, I try,
we try to try to nothing to want to do
it anything, not even just like a.
Speaker 2: Step, you know the they make I bought. I bought those.
I spent a bunch of money on that, and she
wanted nothing to do with it. First of all, they
were a little bit too narrow. But it's like, do
I want to spend another like one hundred and fifty
dollars on another elaborate setup just for.
Speaker 1: Her to not want to do it? What about like
a little ottoman stool that's so like when he when
she wants to get off the bed, she can jump
down down to one and then jump the rest of
the way.
Speaker 2: The thing is, I'm not trying to be like making
excuses for but it's like it would have to be
really big. I guess we could almost like coffee table size,
I mean, because if it's too small, she's big. Yeah,
so then she jumps down to that.
Speaker 1: It's like, right, she might fall right, problem she's been
falling too, like off the steps.
Speaker 2: She can't maneuver our front steps, which she falls on them.
All that, and it's so sad, So I don't want something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll figure we're going to figure out something. We're
started with the grip tape and then we'll do something
for the bed. Yeah, you're right, we need some kind
of like a medium automen like one step, but she
won't be able to use it to get up there,
but well for to get down. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, that's so it's just hard I understand. And
also you're by yourself, as I was saying to you
in text, and I know you feel like you've always
it's always.
Speaker 1: Just been you. Ye, it's a lot when you're are
the kids around, they're in and out. Sunny's been concerned, Natalia,
she's been doing her own thing. She's been working and
now she's off for the holiday, and you know, they're
they're they're around and they they help when they can,
but you know, it's they're not going to be like,
you know, taking them to the vet and knowing when
to take them. That's the other thing. It's like on Sunday,
I watched him just mope around and I could have
brought him back to that hospital, but it's like another
trip in the car, and like I wanted him to
see his own doctor. And if I could have just
got him through the weekend, to get to Monday morning,
which I did, which was okay. Yeah, so as long
as he wasn't vomiting and everything and fine, but you know,
it was just even even the vets was like, yeah,
I've never seen Phel like this. He's very even when
I've seen him before and he was sick, usually he's
got a pep in his step, like he doesn't move,
he doesn't want to move, you know, So which was
telling him that he was having some pain and is yes,
his abdomen was inflamed and there was like some gas
and blah blah blah. So then when he got home yesterday,
I had to give him a little bath because he
was just like he had drool on his like his
legs and all the time going out to the bathroom like, uh,
it's probably a shit show. So I just gave him
like a little hose down and that he loved, and
he was like excited, like he was like I had
some peppinist step outter. He's just also really hot.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know we feel that's that it's not hot
in our house because the ac is on, but there's
something about when it's really hot outside that makes them
very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: And uncomfortable. Well, that's why I'm thinking, that's why he
wanted to get in the shower. It's like the coolest
place in the house is to curl up in the shower.
It's like all you know, the tile and my bathroom
gets cold with the air conditioning on. That he likes.
He loved being in the bathroom these last couple of days.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Also, Penelope has a yeast infection on her toe,
so it's her nail is all black and she's just
constantly on her foot. But I looked up some home
remedies for that. She's had it for a while, but
now she's just like constantly looking and biting at her
paw and it's it's sad for her, but also horrible
for me because I don't.
Speaker 1: Like the noise.
Speaker 2: Oh god, my mesaphonia is just like I'm like, oh
my god, I've.
Speaker 1: Been giving her benadrol. I'm doing. How does she do
on benadryl? She does fine.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make her that tired that it does help
with the itch though. When we got her the rest,
the woman whose rescue it was sent us a big
with a big baggy of benadryl and was like give
her benadrol like twice a day.
Speaker 1: Wow, But I didn't for years.
Speaker 2: We had her on side point injections, and we had
her on apple quel when she was younger. But now
I'm back to the benadryl because I don't really want
to be giving her. She's not really scratching at herself.
It's just this paw that she's licking. And I could,
like I said, I'll bring her to the vet if
it doesn't get better on its own. But anyway, you know,
let's talk about something cheerier.

Speaker 1: So then I come home from the vet. Oh, as
I'm driving to go get Phil yesterday to bring him home,
Sonny's calling me, going, uh uh are you on your
way to pick up Phil? Yes. Well, you know, in
the last like day or two, my toilet's been giving
me problems and now there's water coming up into the shower.
Oh no, I'm like, been there? Are you freaking kidding me?
And he's like, yeah, I went, he went and bought
a snake. It's but it wasn't called a snake. It's
like this whole thing. I don't know. He talked to
his dad and he went to he brought so he
he's been trying to fix it on his own for
two days. The thing with the toilets in our house
is they're the they're the economy. They're the not the economy,
they're the water saving efficiency bowls. So when you flush,
there's like the two buttons. There's one button that you're
supposed to flush for number one where the water doesn't
and then there's the number two button, so the bulls
don't fill up right, right, So it's so anyway, that's
that's going on. So it's hard to tell if there's
an issue. Is that you mean? Yes, So it's hard
to tell. So then he I guess he unclogged the toilet,
which was fine. But then as of the next which yesterday,
the water started coming up into the shower and luckily
the bathroom toilet was clean. It wasn't you know, it
wasn't like dirty anything. But anyway, so I called Mike,
and Mike's like, oh, that's a main want, that's a
that's a main line issue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, oh, sunk. We've spent a
lot of money on our main line, right, that was
the symptom. Really, but you're renting your house so exactly.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I so I texted, I texted the owners,
and I called Mike so while she was waiting for her.
So she sent her guy oh Or immediately, and he
was there like ah, like afternoon, and I got Phil
like outside, I'm trying to give him in a bath,
and then Sonny's dealing and then his room starts to
smell like sewage. Oh no, yes, and it was just
like a shit show. But this guy didn't speak that
great at English. And then the owner came and then
I think they're I think they're the they're Korean because
Sonny said I could he understands, So he's like, yeah,
they're Korean trips to Korea in yes, yes, So he's
asking Sonny what's going on. Sonny's talking to him and
he's like not really understanding. Then the owner comes, who's Korean,
and then he's talking to them, and then they're talking
to each other and then Sonny's like, I don't know
if he no like I told you know, He's like,
I don't think he's listening, I don't know. Sonny didn't
have the greatest expectations of them fixing it. But anyway,
the guy was there for a couple I don't know why.
At first, why was I don't know. I don't know,
because Sonny was like, I snaked it. It's not I
don't know, I go, but it's he's got the industrial snake,
not the one you got a target. He's a plumbers
a plumber, it's a license, right right, So I don't know.
After a few hours of them hanging out in Sunny's
room talking in Korean like they they fixed it. So
oh that was it was fixed. But they didn't have
to go into the main line, I guess not.
Speaker 2: So when this happened to us, the first thing we
did was sort of like a stop gap effort, which
was they ran something through into the main They kind
of did a thing where you could kind of clear
it out right without having to like read.
Speaker 1: It was just like a half measure. Yes, it worked
for a while. Oh and then and then the problem
happened again and we have to pay thousands of dollars.
Oh see, I'm wondering if that's going to be the case. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The first effort costs like five hundred dollars. I was like,
this could lie last six months, it could last like
a couple of years. So we were like, do that
and then yeah, I think it was maybe like six
months later it happened again. Oh yeah, and it would
be in both both of our bathrooms, so there's two bathrooms.
And then now we have a bathroom and our master
that we converted, but that doesn't isn't connected to anything,
which is kind of nice, right, so if anything happens
to the rest of the house, it doesn't affect. We're
like sex for you, sex to you.
Speaker 1: My showers are working great, yeah, hot water, yep, check. Yes,
I know. I know because my bedroom's on the other
side of the house than the kid's bedroom and so
they are air conditioning sometimes if it broke, like it
broke once, and it was like, I'm cool as a
cucumber on my side because I'm not on the same
causign is an ad on, I guess, yeah, but yeah,
get on the level. I don't know what to tell
you exactly. Yeah, yeah, you guys can come in here,
not for too long, but you know, you can cool
off for a little bit. I told sunny, I go,
you can use my bathroom, you know, but they fix it,
but you will see if it lasts. But yeah, yesterday
was just a day from hell. Oh my god, it's
like one thing after another. Do your kids ever, and
I'm sure this is more in Italia? Do they ever
borrow stuff from your room without asking? And then like
you go to find it and it's way after the fact.
So the other day I woke up with a migraine
and I take these I forgot what they're called, but
they're like little like bean bags, but they'refore like do
you put them in the microwave? Oh? Yeah, yeah, put
them on your sore muscles or whatever.
Speaker 2: So I use those from my head when I'm having
a really bad migraine. I woke up at like four
in the morning, like not this morning, but yesterday morning,
looking for my beans. I call them, where's my beans?
So I go in my bathroom not there fucking knew
that Sadie had absconded with my beans, because you know, humble.
Speaker 1: Brag for her. I guess she gets her period. I
haven't known what that's like for a very long time, right,
So I was like, that bitch took no Okay. For
Christmas last year, I got her a heating pad that's
electric heating p yeah, because I was like, you know what,
she hates going to reheat the beans. Yeah. I used
to hate that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I totally understand, which is why I spent
a little bit more money and.
Speaker 1: Got a heating pack. I love having a heating pad. Yeah,
so she has that. So I'm like, bitch doesn't need
my beans? Like why?
Speaker 2: And I knew that she's the only one because Xander
sometimes gets headaches too. I bought him his own beans
a few years ago. Very happy with his own beans,
minor gray. His are black. I know that she doesn't
need she and I know, so I'm like the only
person Elbe.
Speaker 1: Doesn't freaking live at our house. Right.
Speaker 2: So then yesterday I remember I was like, hey, Sadie.
I text her from the other room because our house
is ginormous, and I'm like, hey, can you bring my beans?
Can you bring my beans back? And she's like, oh,
I don't have them.
Speaker 1: Yes you do have them, Yes you do? You know?
Speaker 2: And then You're like, well now I had an accuser
of a lot Like She's like, yeah, I haven't had
them in a long time.
Speaker 1: I haven't borrowed them in a really long time. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I said, well, they're not in my bathroom, and that
would be the only place they would be is with you.
And then like ten minutes later, she comes in my
room with the beans and I was like, oopsie, Daisy, Yeah,
and I go where were they and she's like, I
don't know. They're in my bathroom for some reason, in
the cabinet for some reason.
Speaker 1: For some reason. YEA, well, I didn't put them there.
I'm not storing my shit in your bathroom in the
cabinet for no reason so that I can't find it
when I really need it. And then I told her, well, okay,
thank you.
Speaker 2: I was like, just you know, just make sure you
bring it back because you know, I had a headache
in the early and she was like, you could always
come in my room at four in the morning.
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that. I'm a good mom. Yeah, it's funny.
Yesterday I was looking for the dish soap and I
was like, who jacked my dish soap? There's wait a minute,
where is the dish show? Why isn't it in the
It's usually right there by the sink. I'm doing the dishes. Hey, dish,
I'm like, what the hell? And then I went and
got another one from under the sink that's like you
know old using that one. Then I leave. And then
when I hang up with Sonny on the way to
the vet, and he's going and he's going, Yeah, I
tried to unclog it myself. I looked up online to
you know, I got this recipe online to pour down
the drain that usually kind of unclogs it. And then
I hung up, and I'm thinking, oh, that's where the
dish soap blent. Sure enough, it was in his bathroom.
But yeah, I will go in like Natalia's room. Oh
there's my boots. I love those guys, and I didn't
know they were missing. And then here they are in
her closet. Or there's my purse, my purse like I
forgot I had, and she's been it's been in her
closet for god knows how long. I could have used
it many many times. But when it's out of sight,
it's out of mine. Right. You know, one of my
many her maize bags. Oh was it a maze or
was it? Oh? So many of those I wouldn't even
notice that I don't know. Yeah, yeah, no, maybe yeah,
could have been a burkin Chanel. I don't know. Yeah,
they're lost with the other one she took. It's like funny, well,
Sadie will borrow.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I rarely wear makeup. I'm wearing a little
bit of makeup right now, only because I'm recording a
drunkish episode when I get home. Okay, So I wanted.
I didn't want to be completely crazed leave. I was like,
maybe I'm gonna want to go get something to eat.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like I got to get home,
do my hair, do my makeup to be on camera. Yeah,
you look good, thank you.
Speaker 2: But the thing about me is I own like one
mescarra and I will use it into the ground, you
know what I mean. That thing will last me like
three years as I wear too infrequently. Yeah, but the
problem is, like Sadie will freaking steal it. That girl
goes through My kids go through so much makeup. Yeah,
I don't know how bad LB is with it, but
I do know that she needs to buy makeup a lot.
But Sadie, my god, and it's always jumping to the
next brand of Mescara. So it's like a Mescara graveyard
in her bathroom. There's like eight different kinds of mescara.
But then I'm like, what, I get hurt?
Speaker 1: Why you gotta use mine? You have so much many?
I have one one one.
Speaker 2: And also I find like a brand that I like.
And by the way, that brand is from CBS. It's
like a Maybolene like coloss lashes or whatever. But I
get just the right one and then I only rebuy it.
It's like an eight dollar Mescara. Like, girl, get yourself
a nice scara. I know you're seventeen.
Speaker 1: You need expect more better mescara than I use, right right?
Why take mine? And then that's all I And then
I have to go mess sceral less because I can't
go hunt it down. I don't know if she's taken
it with her. Is it in her perse? Like I
don't want to know a scape now I know. I know.
Then Italia's makeup drawer has just got all kinds of
all my old stuff. I still have a lipstick from
before I was married. Oh my god, it's a lee
Issa or Laurant however, and it's like this red, this
like cherry red that I never wear and I always
liked it. I wore it a couple of times, but
I liked it, and then I just kept it. And
I know because it's in its blue containous, you know.
And I found it in Italia's drawer, Like, do you
know I've had this lipstick since before your dad and
I got married. This is a legacy. This is a
legacy lipstick. And it's like just thrown at the bottom
of your drawer. I added, like in my bathroom put away,
like I'm keeping it now forever. I'm taking it to
the grave literally, so I haven't put it on me
when I go to the grave. But like yeah, and
then she just casually takes it and just like like
come on, yes, So she does go in night closet
a lot. Luckily, her feet are bigger than mine, so
she can't take my shoes. Okay, okay, yeah, my feet
are way bigger than my kid's feet. I wear in nine.
Speaker 2: Sadie wears like a six, you wear a nine. Wears
an eight seven and a half or eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wear a nine. You don't look like you
wear a nine. I was always an eight and a
half and then after I was pregnant. Yeah, I went
from seven and a half to like an eight after
I had after I had kids, and Italian is a
nine and a half. She got a bad thing where
all the kids, all my friend's kids, most kids have
bigger feet than we had when we really Yeah, that's weird. Yeah,
I almost all of like Elbie's friends were a nine
to nine and a half. That's interesting, yep, because Xander
wears like a nine and a half. Really, yeah, he's
not even tall. I know. I don't know, like Sonny's
like an, I don't know what he is. He's been
buying his own shoes. But yeah, I always thought it
was weird that her feet were way bigger than mine,
and her feet got big quick. Yeah, a lot of
the kids did. That's weird. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a weird thing that I have that
I don't use perfumes because I think there it's all nostalgia,
Like I have had perfume. I have a perfume in
my cabinet from when I was pregnant with Elbie. Uh huh,
So that's so she's twenty going on twenty one and
bought this. Yeah it's Tresors. I have that one. I
have a Paloma Paloma Picasso.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, right, you know that one? Yeah, no, but
I have that. I have Angel. Oh yeah, do you
remember Angel? Yeah. I love to smell them every once
in a while. Oh you know what I have from?
Oh my god, it's got to be thirty years old.
I'm a bottle of obsession. Oh my god, it's in
my cabinet. I can't part with it because every once
in a while I want to. I take the lid
off and I sniff it.
Speaker 2: And it reminds you of like like being young. Yes,
but for some reason, I just won't throw them away.
That's so I'm never going to like put them on
and I could go to like the department store and
smell them, but I'm like, oh, what if they don't
make them anymore? I know, or the chan I just
want to remind myself. So they're taking up a butt
like a lot of space in my medicine cabinet.
Speaker 1: That's kind of aware. You know. It's funny because I
the kind of perfume I always liked, Adam were liked,
So I never was married to a perfume because I
liked I always liked Patuli when I was young, and
he was like, oh god, no, that reminds me of
my parents and my grandmother used to wear patuli. Okay.
Then I got this one perfume from there's a lingerie
shop like on its fit. It's on Sunset, it's on Melrose.
It's kind of like the high end lingerie show. I
can't think of the name of it. But they have
the ricks. No, not Fredrick's trashy Lingerie. Not trashy Lingerie.
It's It'll come to me. It's on Melrose. Anyway, they
had their agent provocateur. They have their own perfume. And
when I was getting married, I went in there to
get like, you know, nighties for the wedding or whatever,
and I bought the perfume and I loved it, and
he didn't like it. But then that was that. But
now it seems like the type of person that would
freely tell you like, yeah, I don't like it. Yeah,
why is that perfume? I don't smells kind of musty.
I don't know, I know, But now I have this
one perfume that I like. Uh, I don't even know.
I think I got it at at my place TJ
Max up the street. I don't know. It's some main brand, though,
I just don't know what it is. Off the top
of my it's got like that. It smells like night
bloom and jasmine. You know that's that flower. That's what
it smells like, like jasmine.
Speaker 2: I always liked more spicy sense, like I used to
love cinnabar day laughter.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. I mean I always go for, like, you know,
stuff that just reminds me of stuff like I used
to love. Oh my god, Lauren, did you wear the polo? Yes? Yes, women, yeah, yeah, yes,
or maybe it was just called it came in like
a red bottle, and I love like my old boyfriend
more like Fahrenheit, Like like I love that, you know,
I like that would something I would probably keep. But
the first guy I ever kissed wore Pierre Cardan. Oh yeah,
and I lod it. Yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: And then my friends and I who were dating, like
my friend who was dating that guy's friend, and they
both were we would go in to the department store
and just smell their perfume and get it, like put
it on our own wrists so we could.
Speaker 1: Like right smell like them. Oh yeah, yeah, we used
to do that too. We used to do that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to remember the other. And Pierre Cardan
was the big one. Was it Paco Rabon?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I mean I can sort of like remember
just where I was at certain areas of my life,
like when even my guy friends that would wear it
and stuff like that, you know, like Glenn and Mike
they wore that stuff. I did love Fahrenheit. Yeah. Another
one that I really liked for men that was by
It was called Curve, but it was a I think
they also made it for women, but Curve, and I
don't remember.
Speaker 2: I'm not Kaitlin, so I can't look it up. But
I remember smelling that on a guy and then being
like obsessed with that, say, and smelling it at the store.
All yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Xander wears.
Speaker 1: I always get him.
Speaker 2: I always get the kids for Christmas stuff from bath
and body Yeah, and Xander loves their like men's but
you can get the body wash and there's like a spray, right.
Speaker 1: He loves that stuff. Really. He puts too much on obviously,
I know Sunny sometimes does too. Soon aways I'm like,
all right, yeah, yes, too much. But I noticed the
guys at that age too, they do wear a lot
of cologne. Like Natalia's friends will come over and it'll
be like whoop, Yeah, it's like way too much guys. Yeah,
they just I don't know what it is, but yeah,
they they kind of stink up the place.
Speaker 2: It's funny because I don't as an adult. I'm trying
to think. Okay, when I was a kid, my mom's friends,
they all seem to have like a signature scent, right,
Like there was this one that always wore like Georgia. Yeah,
I think, and then like you just associated that smell
with my mom's friend Arlene always wore this. Oh Arlene
always wore Chanel number.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was her.
Speaker 2: And then like you know, they all have like their
signature sense. I don't notice that as much anymore. When
I go with my girlfriends, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't I know that she always wears Angel or
she wears right. I have to say, my girlfriend don
wears some I've never said this to her. I don't
think she would care, though, but her perfume gives me
such a headache and it smells like an old lady's perfume. Yeah,
and she wears it all the time. But yeah, like
Suzanne doesn't come have a scent when she comes over, right,
you know you don't go Suzanne's here? Yeah, right, it's funny. Yeah,
like our mom's friends always had their say, like signature. No,
that's true. Like no, none of my mommy friends have
their like signature. No. No, But and I have to.
I feel like I have to wear a lot of
something for anyone to even notice. I know most of
the time.
Speaker 2: No, Like even John will every once in a while
be like, you smell good, and you know what it is?
That's usually lotion, Yes, a scented lotion, right, And sometimes
my kids will say I smell good if I'm wearing
a scented lotion. But perfume, no, never ever have anybody go, wow,
what are you wearing.
Speaker 1: That's so good? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yet perfume is like, you know, one hundred dollars, right,
and a lotion is like fifteen I know exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I love it. I love a good smelling lotion.
I love Navidia is Navidia? Navidia? Is it? What is
via Nivia? Oh? What's Navidia? Like? That sounds fancy Nivia? Yeah? Oh,
Navidia is a stock oh oh oh. My friend Glenn
was telling me about yeah. Uh, what is it? Nivia Nivia?
My mom used to wear that. My mom used to
put that on. Oh, what's the one that oh Gena
ta uh, Gena te ginte. Yes, yes, I remember that. Oh.
I associate so many things with being young. Gina Ta
I freaking loved I wanted to smell like geenata yea.
Loves baby soft. Yeah, loves baby sauce all we wore
when we were like young young. Yeah. Right, loves baby
soft perfume. Yeah, and you could buy it with the
roll with the yeah, roll it on. That's right. Oh
my god, I forgot about loves baby sauce. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then the shampoos. Do you remember, g your hair
smells terrific?
Speaker 1: Yes? I love that. Is that? The name? Was that
the name of it? That was the name of the shampoo. Yes.
I always wanted milk and honey shampoo. Yes, because I
always saw the commercial of the brunette girl in her
hair was always so smooth, and I'm sitting there with
my nappy head watching these women in these care commercial.
I was going, if I only just used the milk
and honey shampoo, my hair would look like that. It
was called milk and honey, I do remember that one.
Speaker 2: I also loved herbal lessonce, which is still a shampoo. Yeah,
hold on, I feel like I had to tell you
something else before we move, something that I wrote. Oh,
I wanted to ask you something if you hate this
when you get invited to a party. This is like
totally off topic, but do you ever get invited to
a party and the person who's sowing the party hides
the guest list?
Speaker 1: Yes, brutal. You go to see, like, well, let me
see who else, and it'll say this many people like
are coming, but you're like, then you go to hit
on the guest less sleep see because you know inevitably
there's going to be somebody you want to avoid exactly
at any given party. And I know Julie Kasem Okay,
she's having she's having a party for her birthday. I
hope I don't offend it anybody. But I really think
that if if you're listening to this podcast and you're
a friend of Julie's, you're probably invited, although I wouldn't
fucking know she hit the guest list, that's right. So
me and my other friend, we're talking about somebody who
Julie used to be friends with, but I don't think
that they're I don't know if she would invite them.
Uh huh.
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know. I hope I kind of hope not.
And she knows who I'm talking about. But so me
and my other friend were like, oh, I wonder if
that person's gonna go, and then we like tried to
check the guest list and she was like, oh no,
she hid the guest list.
Speaker 1: Oh god, why the only reason to hide the guest list?
And I'm going to and I think you already know
what I'm going to say is for when you go
to invite somebody after the fact, when you when the
you already invited everybody two weeks before, but then you're like,
oh shit, I forgot to invite this person. Yes, so
then you don't want them to see Oh shit, like
fifty people are already RSVP'd, right, how did I just
get yes? How am I seeing this? So then you
hide the guest listly, yes, they don't know when it
went on originally. Yeah, that's interesting. I never thought of that.
I only know I like the parties, like like Jimmy
would do his Christmas Eve party and you would send
out the evite. He never high He never so you'd
be like, oh, uh, Jennifer Aniston's coming, like wow, okay,
you know, like yeah, you would see or they were
invited or whatever. You know, he never hid the guest list.
But I never thought about that, that that you can
add people that you forgot and that so then they
wouldn't know they were just at it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes with the kids full disclosure, you'd invite like their
their first line that you know, their A.
Speaker 1: List, yes, yes, And then you'd be like, well.
Speaker 2: I don't want to invite I'm not inviting your whole class,
So we'll start with ten, right or whatever, and then
if some of them don't want to come, then we
can invite the ones that are on the backup list
because we don't want no one to be there. But
I also don't want to invite all these kids and
have them all come and then have to spend you know,
fifty dollars on each kid at david Busters, right, right,
So then you so then you don't want the next well,
you don't want the parents to be like, oh really,
my kid just found out about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the invite went out a while ago. All
these people already said yes, and I literally just opened
this two seconds ago, right, Is that that doesn't make sense? Yes? Yeah, really,
I guess you don't like my kid that much. Yeh,
fuck you not bringing a gift exactly. I remember always
being like when you get invited to somebody some kids
party and they say no gifts, and you're always like, wow,
doing that to your kide now I know? Or how
about when we would get invited. I remember we talked
about this before. I remember showing up at the like
the Jungle gym for the birthday party and it's like, oh, yeah,
that was yesterday. Oh yeah the next day or oh
it's tomorrow, yeah, and the kids are all excited, and
until he's got a little party dress on, a little
bone or hair, I do it all over again for
the next day. Oh. That's happened to me several times.
Speaker 2: And it's usually at one of those play places, like
indoor place places, and then you show up and you're like, Hi,
it's you know, Sadie and Xander for so and so's
birthday and they're like, oh, that.
Speaker 1: That was yesterday. Yeah, and they're like that, oh all right,
I guess we'll just play right as we'll pay full price. Yes, yeah,
you know what's funny. So my birthday is coming up,
and my mom friends, my little Jewish group of mom friends,
we go out for each other's birthday.
Speaker 2: As I've told you, you know my story is going
to Red Ginger where they play all the seventies the
guy plays the seventies songs. Okay, so every okay, me
and one of my friends, I'll just say your name, Cecily.
Me and my friend Cecily. We're always like, no gifts,
we don't, don't get us a gift. It's fine where adults.
I don't need more shit, as we have talked about
many times. Okay, but here's the thing. A lot of
these other bitches love love to give gifts. They love gifts,
they love to give them, but they also really love
to receive them, so they don't say no gifts right now.
This has been going on for years and I always
go like, no gifts, It's totally fine. And if I
could have my way, I would say, if you really
want to get me a gift, just get me like
lottery tickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah know, something funny, right, but you can't, it's not
really done. Yeah, you go, here's what I want. Yeah,
So my point is all these women all the time.
I'm like, I am constantly. Every month or sometimes twice
a month, there's a birthday for one of these women
and then I go and I have to get them
a gift. And I'm always a little resentful, like, oh,
I don't do why can't We're all adults. You know
my rant? You know my rant.
Speaker 2: Okay, So this year, my friend who set it up,
who booked the restaurant, was like, so, what do you do?
You want me to say no gifts? And I was like,
you know what, no, no for you let them buy.
Speaker 1: Me a gift. I was gonna say no, hello, gifts, appreciate.
I mean fuck. I was like, yeah, am I letting
all these bitches off the hook? But I'm not off
the hook for theirs, right either we all do no
gifts ever, or we're all getting gifts right And I
don't care. Yeah, I'm like And I told my friend,
my other friend, who really hates getting gifts. She was like, soort,
so did you say no gifts? And I was like, no,
I didn't.
Speaker 2: I was like, you don't have to get me a
gift because we know how we feel.
Speaker 1: But let them all like if they're.
Speaker 2: Expecting me to buy them something, and they are. They
love the gift portion, yet oh my god, they live
for it. At the end of the meal, they're always okay,
it's time for gifts.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, love fucking hate, Oh my god. So
I'm like, no, let them all get me gifts and
then you know, let's genius, you regift them right back
in the Yes, done and done. All right, let let's
