Speaker 1: Made a decision. Oh thanks Sunny sun On I hadsion.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 1: So what's up, everybody? Welcome to her crying out loud.
Speaker 3: It's a show about raising kids, but not the way
we do it.
Speaker 1: You don't. It's a show now, it's a show about
us talking about shows.
Speaker 3: Our last episode really needed that disclaimer, because my whole
telling my kids like, be mediocre. Yeah probably, I'm sure
is already getting backlash as we speak, be mediocre.
Speaker 1: It's funny.
Speaker 3: Don't aim high, aim lower, then you'll be pleasantly surprised. Yes, yes,
I just like, I just love her, this girl so
much and she you know, she's hard on herself and
like she's got all these hard classes and she's you.
Speaker 1: Know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm like, God, if my day consisted of you know,
she's on she's on the ADHD meds and she's like,
I got to tell you. It is helping, but more
on the weekends when I'm doing homework and less in
class when I'm trying to like listen to the teacher.
And I'm like, because listening to a teacher talk about
chemistry is going to be boring. I don't care how much,
Like I don't care if you're doing cocaine and which
used to make me really interested in things, still not
going to help you want to hear about chemistry?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, how is she dealing with driving?
Speaker 3: Is she driving? And she to take a back a
little bit at a time. She drives a little bit
here and there. Yeah, you know, she goes like up
the street to start, she'll she'll go in our neighborhood.
But she claims that the reason she's not driving herself
to school yet is because of me or me and
John because we tell her not to. But that's not true,
Like you know, when kids are like She's like, yeah,
I would totally be driving myself to school, but you
guys haven't let me yet. Uh huh, Well yeah we have,
Like we absolutely have let her. We've been like, if
you want to drive herself to school, drive herself to school, right,
But then she doesn't ever say like I.
Speaker 1: Want to drive. Yeah, yeah she does. She have to
take a freeway no, No, okay, Well, you know, I
guess our kids go at their own pace, you know,
I mean Natalia, she wanted to hit the road as
soon as she could. Sonny took a little longer. But
then when Sonny had a car for a while. He
loved it. But now yeah, now he doesn't have a car.
Well he doesn't need a car where he is, you know.
But yeah, I guess there's so many. I have a
lot of friends whose kids aren't really driving yet, you know,
even though they're seventeen eighteen, right, you know. But I
guess these days if they have friends at drive and
then between that and Uber, I don't know, there's not
really Like when I was that age, like I couldn't
wait to drive. I couldn't wait to get out of
my house. That's the thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, on the other hand, like Sadie and Xander, well,
Xander does go to his girlfriend's house like all the
time and he needs a ride every time.
Speaker 1: Does he want to get his license?
Speaker 3: I mean he has not mentioned it. So he passed
the online school. He got a certificate so he could
feasibly go get his permit.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Not mentioned it for a little while he was studying,
and I was asking to quiz him and he'd be like,
not right now, Okay, I'm like, And Sadie passed her
online Driver's ed direct or whatever thing. She was like, yeah,
I want to go, I want to go make my
appointment now, And I was like, slow down, Like it's
not that easy you basically because all these kids blow
past the online part. They just you can just skim
it and then take the quizzes at the end. But
to actually go get your permit, you have to know
what you're doing. Remember remember how Natalia failed it? Like y, yeah,
so because you have to really study and you have
to quiz yourself, and you have to go on the
DMV website and do sample tests. And I was like, Sadie,
when you can get through a few of the tests
and get all the answers right, then I'll make the
appointment for you. So she buckled down. She was like, okay,
quiz me, quiz me. And then I would make her
like I'm like, I'm not scheduling the test until you.
I want you to sit with me, and I want
you to get a bunch of them right in a row.
And I scheduled the test and then I quizzed her
in the car on the way there. Well, Xander's is
just not that interested.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, some kids are just not interested.
Speaker 3: He told me, schedule if you schedule me the test,
schedule me and then that will motivate me to rint
And I'm like, no, because I can schedule it fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, right right.
Speaker 3: Also, he should have done it in the summer because now,
like I'm not having him missed school to go get his.
Speaker 1: Permit, right, that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now I gotta wait for a day that
there's no school, but that's not a holiday.
Speaker 1: So how do you get to the host? That's yeah,
that's true. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So at this point, I'm like, maybe he should just
wait till winter break, right right, and then get his
permit and then he can start. But then he has
to like have a permit for six months before license.
Speaker 1: Right. Well, I think sometimes too. Once they get their permit,
I think then I think that I think it's doing
and taking the test and going there, and but once
they get their permit, I think then they get excited
to like, you know, okay, not now I want to drive,
you know. Then it kind of it just kind of
like gets the ball rolling.
Speaker 3: Also, I do think Xander will be a good driver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, yeah, he's just.
Speaker 3: Well cautious, but also he has more I don't know
how to explain it. He he's he has very quick reflexes,
you know, which makes him like good at sports, but
also just like he's fast, he's on the ball, whereas
Sadie has a little more of delayed thinking and reaction time,
Xander has quick Like I feel like Xander will be
easier for him, less of a learning curve to like
make quick decisions and know whether to turn on a
yellow light or you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. Yeah, So tell us
how is your weekend?
Speaker 3: Well, let's let's let's say hello to our Okay, let's
say let's say how to our people. We got Sandra's
not easy being green and Jennifer get up, and Aaron's
a dirty Sanchez. Sarah Fano she's my Bison, Yeah, Stephanie's
dnker Rinker, and Leslie is still coughing. She's claiming COVID
is real. Alicia Escalante from the and Kelly Brandt.
Speaker 1: She is my aunt and your aunt as well, and
she'll take a plan parents.
Speaker 3: Rebecca a hot, great ass, and Gabby and Missy are
a mess.
Speaker 1: They're just uh, they're from here to Oregon and back.
Speaker 3: Katerina is really struggling with her molars right now. Yeah,
I bet she is m Valerie, Bubba Fenwick and Polly Uh,
we love your pancakes, Athena, we love your dancing and
your lipstick. And Rita's rocking, Elizabeth Williams kids in her bassonette,
and Leslie's Coast to Coast Nikki call your girl, Katie's
rolling on e Kelly Latida and Diggers frolicking whoo boom. Okay,
I so I went to the Oregon UCLA game.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, it's so funny. Now are you gonna be
going to these games?
Speaker 3: You know? After this one? I'm not one hundred percent sure. Okay,
it sounded okay. I did have fun. So we got
our tickets. We sat in the student section. It was all.
Everything was easier and harder than I thought it would be.
I hope Robin doesn't like yell at her phone. Robin
and her husband weighed our season tickets. Yeah, they go
to all the games. This game was at eight o'clock
at night, so I guess you don't find out what
time the game is for a while. So you buy
your ticket, but you don't know what the game is
going to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We used to take the kids when they were
like ten, eleven, twelve, for a few years in a row,
we would take them to the UCLA game at the
Rose Bowl because our friends had season tickets. Yeah, and
it was really fun. I have videos and pictures of
them at the UCLA game. But yeah, I remember being
like that, and then there's these the big games, the
big rivalries. But yeah, yeah, you don't find out until
like until it gets closer.
Speaker 3: So I think maybe a lot of people didn't go
to that game because it was late for them, although
it's a Saturday night, so I don't know why that
would be so late on a Saturday night. But yeah, yeah,
So Elbe told me that she was going to be going,
but she had nothing to do with Well, okay, so
a couple of I went with a couple of my
mom front with my mom friend Sharon and her son
goes to CLA. And then we got and then another
dad friend of ours came, but he went and picked
up his daughter who goes to UCLA and my friend
Sharon's son. But Elbie wanted nothing to do with that.
And it's funny because he called me and he was like, hey,
I forgot to ask, like, do you want me to
pick LB up too? And I was like no, she's
like she's doing her own thing. She's very much like.
I was like, how are you getting there? She goes,
I don't know. I think we're going to take a bus.
Speaker 1: Oh is that? Because I always wonder because the Rose
bowls not close to the UCLA knows uh uh you know.
So it's just weird to me that their school is
so far away and there's that whole section for the students.
You see, ay, fight fight, fight, like, but all the
students come, which is great, but it's like, did they
take a bus? Like or do they all just come on?
Speaker 3: They have these buses I guess, okay, called the router bus.
You heard of this the US called the router bus.
I don't know if that's a thing that's all colleges
have a router bus or if that's so U see,
I don't know. But there's a bus and they take it.
The kids go, yeah, a lot of them take that
or they get rides. I don't know. Yeah, so there's
these buses, but then you have to buy a ticket
for the bus, but then there's a stand by bus.
I don't know. It sounds complicated. I had nothing to
do with that. I was just going on my own,
but we had we got tickets. Students bought us tickets,
but not LB anyway, so my friend came over to
our house. First, they wanted to leave like super early,
so the game started at eight. But she's like, but
we're going to go to a tailgate party. So I
was like okay. So they wanted to leave at four o'clock. Wow, right,
that's creation, that is dedication. Then when it was getting
closer to four, she was like, hey, her husband's name
is Joe. She was like, Joe thinks we should leave
by three forty five? Is that okay? So I was like,
I guess, like you know at this point right right.
So they came over so I said, I was like
I can drive because you know, maybe you guys want
to have like a drink or two. You know, I
could be the designated driver. So she was like great.
So I was like okay, okay, I see where. I
see where this is going. So then they're like, hey,
can our friend our friend is coming. Would that be
okay if he rides in the car with us? I
was like yeah, sure whatever. So their friend came. He
seemed like a nice guy, so John drove us out there. Okay,
So Sharon's husband went to Oregon, so he was going
to the game with a bunch of his college buddies.
They were into it. So they had their stuff with them.
They had some beers and they had like.
Speaker 1: They were ducked out.
Speaker 3: Ducked out, yes, yes, so, but Sharon was gonna be
sitting with us because her you know, representing UCLA. Al Right,
so John drives. We got to go meet up with
another couple that we're gonna drive. We're all following each other.
The thing I'm getting to is, I could not have
known what a Kashaw it was going to be Harsky.
It's already a Kashaw. But now it's a big casino.
Like you you get you get to the Rose Bowl,
there is like there the roads are closed basically yes, right, yeah,
there's what do you call those like courses. There's like barricades.
There's like cones miles out of the Rose Bowl. It's
like you gotta go this way. Now, you got to
go this way, and then you know, then here's where
the parking lot is. You're parking lot. We're in like
lot seven. We're so freaking far from the thing, and
it's all like stacked parking. So you're just like, God,
You're just like, are we ever getting out of here?
Are we gonna? Is this gonna go till tomorrow? Warning?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: And there's already tons of cars, like we're already there's
a Lot one through seven. We got there at like
four thirty, but we're already really all the way in
Lot seven. Because these people are fucking serious about their
college football.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: So Sharon's friend, now I've already forgotten if she's a
UCLA alum. I don't think so. I think she went
to school with Sharon, so they went to UCSB. Okay,
but either her one of her kids wasn't a lump.
But I don't know. These people are very serious. So
they had set up a tailgating party. Okay, Sharon said,
We're invited to a tailgating party. Now, I've never tailgated before, Kaylin.
Have you been tailgated? Have you tailgated a little?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, I mean not at I don't. I can't
remember when I did a sports one, but I you know,
Bruce Springsteen, they have the tailgates. I mean, you know
when you go to these games, you see the people tailgate. Yeah,
they're like out there, they got the grill going, they're
handing you a sausage, you know, a kilbasa and a
beer and they're and they got their their chairs and
they're all decked out or whatever team they're in due.
Speaker 3: Yes, but here I am way older for I've never
I didn't know, so I pictured in my mind, like
you never tailgated before, were really so? I pictured a
few some trucks and I pictured literal tailgate right like
you in the back of your truck and people sit
on the edge of the truck and like eat a
burger or something. I don't know, bring some cookies. That's
what I pictured. Tailgating with these cookies drinking some beers.
Speaker 1: Shows you got it cooler.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that these people are like making a hotel.
Like I was like what. So shared goes, yeah, we're
invited to this tailgating party and I was like, okay,
so we're going to walk over to someone's pickup truck
and she was like, yeah, it's going to be catered,
like they've got food and it's a full bar.
Speaker 1: And I was music going.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know, like I don't know what to expect.
So so we park our car and immediately there are
kids that have like all this beer. This is not
even the tailgating part. This is because I say to John,
I'm like, so are we tailgating right now? He goes, no,
not yet. And I was like, well, what do you
call this that there's just people with the backs of
their cars open, just like drinking beer. And John goes,
I don't know people drinking beer by their cars, Like okay,
so yeah, that's because yeah, pregaming.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, so this is not the tailgating
part yet. He goes, no, not yet. So I'm like, okay,
well now I'm hungry, though I'm not drinking. So they're
all drinking John's immediately they're someone's handing him a beer. Hey, everybuddy,
Like people are like sharing. Oh yeah, yeah, I think
somebody had like a keg over there. This is just
Lot seven. This is not the thing yet. Okay. So
then finally we go over we go find her friend,
which is in Lot six. They've got a big tent.
They've got tables, all these tables set up. There's Jersey mics.
They've got it to fully catered Jersey mics. There's a
dessert table, there's appetizers. There's like a table with spinach
dip and veggie trays.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then they've got two big screen TVs with like these
with the you know tables the like plastic. They're not
they're like pop up. They're the same foldable tables and
the play Yes, no, that's where the food is. But
then they've got these tables that are like made of
the same material that they the type of chairs that
you open up at a sports game. Okay, it's like
that vinyl you know. Then they've got little cup holders
in them, so they just pop open these little tables
and like you can sit on little folded bowl chairs
and little foldable tables to put a beer in or whatever. Okay,
I mean it is a massive setup. It is a
big party. I mean there's like forty people at this.
Like wow, it's like double tense. Yeah, it's like all
I'm like John and I are like okay, yeah, wow,
we had some food. We the hell paint.
Speaker 1: Wait.
Speaker 3: Then they're going walking around with shots shots skis. They're
just like they've got these fireball shots. They're giving way
out bottles of fireball, little teeny mini bottles of fireball right,
and people are doing shots. Okay. So now, okay, so
the friend that we drove with. As soon as we
got there, this guy is like, no, he's our age, right.
All these people all have grown kids, right that were with, Right,
So that guy is like, immediately gets there, he like
starts pounding beers. John has like a beer, maybe a
second beer, I don't know. Then we get to the
tailgating part. This guy's already drunk. Now you've got this
other couple that had followed us. Then I hope I
don't get in trouble. They don't know me, so I
can't imagine they're ever going to listen to this. But
this lady is like pounding drinks. Then when you were
with not the one, not my friend, but the third
couple and not the guy who drove with us. But
now there's another couple that we had to stop by
so they could follow us there. This this is like
I'm trying to this guy looks like the guy looks
like he would have been in the show duck Hunter.
Picture that, and then picture a woman who would be
dating a guy and that looks like he's from the
show duck Hunter. Okay, these people are getting there drank on.
Now we're at the tailgate party part and she they
they're shotgunning beers like old school, like making the hole
in the can of beer and then pop in the top.
And the guy that we drove there is just like
he shot guns two beers in a row. Then he's
having like contests with like and then doing the thing
where you like throw the can down and then.
Speaker 1: Like stomp on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, what is happening? Like what am
I learning? Okay? Should we stop and take it?
Speaker 4: Break?
Speaker 1: This is this is too good.

Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was like I was having fun, but
like I don't drink, So it was weird to watch
all of these grown people, right, and I can't help
but have like a slight parent thing where I'm like,
how are these people getting home?
Speaker 1: Like, Yeah, that's a good question. But they weren't it
didn't they Well, the one guy who was doing heavy
drinking drove with me, but the other the couple, it
was like the duck hunting couple.
Speaker 3: They were dry. They drove, they drove. They drove because
we had to go meet them somewhere so that they
could follow us the rest of the way in. Yeah,
they drove, like a lot of these people drove. All
I'm saying is like, I'm not trying to police other
people's fun. I know that, hey, they've got a long
night ahead of them. Maybe they all stopped drinking. And
the time they drove hours.
Speaker 1: Weren't you there four hours before showtime? Yep?
Speaker 3: Yep. But here's what I was what I was having
this moment. I was saying to my friend and a John,
I was like, the crazy thing is we were seeing
there because it was all of us older people with
grown kids, and then it was a bunch of co eds,
you know, college kids, and I'm looking at these kids
that are like, you know, eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty one
years old, and I was like that was me, Like
we're the adults, now we're the parents. People are looking
at us like, oh, there's the old people.
Speaker 1: There's the dronk like shotgunning beats you.
Speaker 3: Wrong, old people, but also like a lot of older
women like myself trying to recapture their youth, like still
trying to look young and cute, you know, getting our
botox and our fillers or whatever and trying to recapture
our youth being at these games. And I was like, wow,
these kids have like their whole lives ahead of them there.
I was just watching these young girls like flirt with
cute young boys, and I was like, it wasn't that
long ago. It doesn't seem like that long ago, right.
Speaker 1: Right, even though we are older, our brain is still yeah,
like you can walk around and go, wow, that co
like guy's cute, you know, right, like, but it's creepy
because we're older women.
Speaker 3: I know. And then it's like you look in the mirror,
or you catch your reflection in a window, or your
phone is accidentally pointed at you when you go to
open your camera and you're like that, who's that old
wrinkly lady? And you know, and then you also it
just brought up like this idea that you're also kind
of invisible, like you're the parent, you know, when the younger,
when the kids are talking to you and their friends
are to talking to you, they're like they have respect, yes,
Like they're speaking to you like you're a grown up.
And you're like, no, bitch, I'm young, like it I
was your age, right, living the life that you're living
like me, like drinking at keg parties and like flirting
with cute boys and like, yeah, how did it go?
Speaker 1: It went by so fat, It does go by fast.
I know, I know, but so wait, this is this
this tailgating thing is just so hilarious to me. So
what were you concerned that the guy's gonna puke in
the back of your car on the way home or.
Speaker 3: Like I was, yes, I was like, wow, that he's
really getting his drink on. I was like, is he
gonna be okay for the ride home? And my friend goes, yeah, honestly,
like he this is how he drinks. But he's always fine, right,
I'm like, and he was spoiler alert, he was totally fine.
He was not even acting drunk at all when I
drove him home later that night. So no, you know
what my main concern was was like, am I gonna
I'm gonna have to pee? Like, I'm gonna have to
use a porta potty. I used to not have to
pee for super longions of time, but I was having
anxiety that like, this is a long day and I'm
drinking a lot of water and now like I want
to make sure that It was kind of a ridiculous worry.
It was fine. Yeah, I used a porta potty. It
was no big deal.
Speaker 1: And then they got the bathrooms in the stadium.
Speaker 3: They do, but I was like, is there gonna be
like crazy long lines. It ended up being fine. So
eventually we're there for a few hours, and then we
walked over to the stadium and we got our seats.
Speaker 1: Were you bored after like an hour and a half.
I was so fucking bored. I mean, come on, that's
so long before the games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it was a blowout, so and where
the seats were too, we couldn't really see that well
because we were over by all the way by the
end zone for one of the sides, so when they're
running the other way.
Speaker 1: No, well, not even be at the gates.
Speaker 3: It was so much better to be watching it on TV.
There was no point. We were being so funny though.
The dad that we were with. That's the dad of
one of Elbie's friends was being so funny. He kept
yelling at all the college, all the UCLA students in
front of us. He was like, makes some fucking noise.
And then they'd be like, oh, okay, okay. He's like,
I want to hear you make some noise right now.
He'd be like, all of you stand up right. He
was being funny though, ye yeah, but it was making
me laugh really hard, and my friend Sharon was being
really funny. We were having so much fun. Okay, So
then meanwhile, I'm life three sixteen lb right, like, where
is this bitch? So she had not left, not left,
not left at like six point twenty, She's like starting
to get on a bus, but.
Speaker 1: The game starts at eight though, right exactly.
Speaker 3: Yes, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, because you were so bored and we
were there for so long. Yes, where's somebody else? Like
a doctor?
Speaker 3: Exact sober? So Elbie gets there. She's adorable. She and
I ended up seeing her walk past me, and of
course we're all screaming Elbe, and she doesn't hear me,
or pretends not to hear me. But then I texted
her I was like, we're like five rows behind you.
So she came over and said hi, and that was
really cute. But then she was sitting with her friends
and yeah, but it was like nice to see her,
of course, but it was not like I was going
to the game with her. She had no interest. She
came and stood with us for a little while, but
my friend's kid sat with us, and the other the
dad's daughter sat with us too, so like Ilbe had
no interest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was her first game, right, first game. Yeah,
and she was in the student section, which is cute,
and she's mid rush, so she's like she came up
to tell me about how excited she was about the
houses and you know, talk to us about that a
little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, such an exciting thing. But she left it like halftime,
Oh really, Yeah, we looked down. She's gone, I check
live three sixty. She's like on the two ten freeway somewhere.
I'm like, okay, I haven't talked to her. I don't
know where she went, right, but yeah, so they left,
so okay, So I'm stuck there though, because now we're
bored and want to leave. But the friends that were
with were rooting for Oregon. And they were sitting some
of them were sitting on with an Oregon section. Well
they're having a great time because we're getting killed.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they're.
Speaker 3: Having a good old time, like watching their team defeat us.
We made like no offensive points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sonny was bombed. Sonny's a huge UCLA fan.
Speaker 3: So we had like a pick six so which is
like an interception, and then they bring it back and
then we had a couple of field goals. That's the
only points we put up on the board. So there
was like then the quarterback got hurt. So finally we're
like we're leaving. So then it was this whole adventure
getting back to our car because now it's dark.
Speaker 1: So did you stay the whole game, not the hole game,
the almost to the end?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we definitely. I think we left in the
fourth quarter and then so we find our car, which was,
like I said, a whole adventure. So there's this at
the Rose Bowl. I don't know if you've parked near
where there's these big cement gully. There's like a big
gully right that goes like it's a gully, it's a
cement thing that has it's very steep, you know, So
there's a bridge to walk over it at one point,
so we found ourselves on the wrong side of this
gully and our car was on the other side, so
then we had to double all the way back to
this bridge, across the bridge and come back. Well, when
we're on the other side of the gully, all of
a sudden, we hear this crash and like banging, crashing,
car crashing noises, and then all these people are yelling
a car had gone over basically like the cliff and
driven into the gully.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And then I mean they had to have fucked up their.
Speaker 1: Car, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And people were screaming and yelling. But then we watched
the car started driving on the side of the gully,
got up a bunch of speed, and then got out,
got out and then just like drove off.
Speaker 1: That's some crazy driving.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But also like how drunk right you have to
be to drive into a gully and then drive yourself
out of the gully and then just like speed off.
That's insane, yeah, because I was like, their car is crashed, right,
and John's like yeah, but.
Speaker 1: They still could drive it and they got they got
enough speed to get Wow, that's got sy driving.
Speaker 3: So then I was like, this whole thing is dangerous.
Speaker 1: Like now I know, oh my god, I can't believe
you've never been to a tailgate.
Speaker 3: No, but how much drunk driving are people doing at
these things? I mean, I don't know. I think that they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they drink early, early on, you know.
And also dudes, guys you know that have been drinking
for years. I don't know. I think they're just better
at it. They know when to sober up. And also like,
what but the where you did you eat some good
food like barbecue or the Jersey mikess too, But I
like it when they're grilling up the burgers and stuffs
and the sausages and peppers, and yeah that's the best
because I would come out of a concert and they'll
be like out there late at night, like growing up still,
like you know, finishing off the food they have, and
I would just be like, I'll give you a five
bucks for hot dog right now, I'm starving.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah I was. I was very hungry. So yeah,
so I ate the Jersey Mics. Yeah, had a cookie
because you know, back on the sugar. So yeah, so
that was sat So then yeah, we and then I
drove everybody home and.
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah. Yeah, so you were the designated driver.
Speaker 3: And then, as you know, Saturday night, Jean Smart hosted SNL.

Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, so.
Speaker 3: SNL you know, I'm kind of friends with Gene, right.
Speaker 1: I heard that's that's what they're saying in the streets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I haven't talked to her in like a
really really long time. But when we heard she was
hosting SNL, I was like, I should text her and
wish her luck, and then Xander and Sadie were like,
oh my god, you have to do it. So I
sent her a text and I just wrote, Hey, good
luck hosting SNL next Saturday. Easy on the cocaine.
Speaker 1: That's cute.
Speaker 3: So she wrote back, I just have to read you
what she wrote back, because she wrote back ha and
then in all caps and then with a like a emoji.
Remember she's like really into emojis, with a googly eyed
face with the tongue owl like ha. And then she
wrote f YI play reading postponed until TBA in October. Sorry,
hope y'all are well? Okay? So I was like, she
doesn't know who this is?
Speaker 1: Oh really, you don't know what she means either.
Speaker 3: I don't have no idea what that means, but like
it's obviously. But then so then of course my brain
was like, so am I not in her phone anymore?
Like yeah, so did it just come up as a
random number or does she know more than one Stephanie
or I don't know. Let's analyze this again. FYI play
reading postponed until TBA in October period, Sorry and then
hope y'all are well play reading? Why would I be?
Why would she be apologizing to me about a play
reading getting postponed?
Speaker 1: You know, Stephanie, I really I I come to find
out a lot of people sometimes just are a little
scatter brained, and they talk like they think you know
what they're talking about, uh huh, and or they think
they're talking to somebody. Maybe maybe there is more than one.
Maybe there is more than one Stephanie. But wouldn't she
have your full name or wouldn't she you know, sometimes
when your kids are you would put the kids.
Speaker 3: Well. I didn't say anything like right, like Xander says, Hi,
I didn't give her any clues. I just said good
luck and then made a cocaine joke. I mean, I
guess I could be. Maybe she knows a hundred Stephanie's
she's very very famous right now. No, she's hosting SNL.
She was hosted the fiftieth anniversary, the season premiere.
Speaker 1: Oh it was the season premiere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but if they're fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is when you're you know, when
your friends, your kids make friends, you put like Stephanie
and then like I would put on my phone Xander's mom.
You know you do that, right, So maybe she doesn't
have it that way. Maybe she just says Stephanie, W
I don't know, and then I only saw the I don't.
Speaker 3: No, I agree. I just thought it was funny that
it was like, Okay, she doesn't know, she's she's not
putting the name to the Yeah, it is kind of
just yeah. But hey, she responded and her play got postponed,
so you know, and.
Speaker 1: She's sorry about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I just thought it was funny.
Speaker 1: So did you watch it?
Speaker 3: I did watch it, Yeah, and it wasn't great. But
sn o is the writing is not like it used
to be. No, I know, Bowen Yang is really funny,
and the Weekend Update is still funny. And the cold
open was really funny. They had a lot of guests
they were doing They did a funny Kamala and they
did a funny Joe Biden and they but yeah, the
rest of the show was like, but.
Speaker 1: How was her opening monologue?
Speaker 3: Sorry it was okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I you didn't see it?
Speaker 3: Did you watch it?
Speaker 2: Kaylen, No, I don't. I don't watch US.
Speaker 1: No, now I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it depends if they have a
guest on that I really like, then I'll watch it. Yeah,
like when Shane Gillis was on US and I was like, Okay,
I got to watch this one. But for the most part,
now I don't just really find it that funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I find it awkward sometimes. Yeah, some skits
are just really like.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't really watch it normally. We just watched
it cause to see Gene right right now. Yeah, Kaylin,
you had some adventures with your kids this weekend.
Speaker 2: We went to a birthday party.
Speaker 4: Ila's classmate had a party at her house, at her
friend's house, and so we went over there. They had
two big, you know, like inflatable water slides and a
trampoline and.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of kids there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really very hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Did they invite the whole class?
Speaker 4: Uh, we didn't see the whole class there. There were
a couple kids, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: You don't know if the whole class was invited.
Speaker 2: Though, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, do they have a rule that you have to
invite the whole class or fewer than seven kids.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: See Kaylen doesn't. He doesn't know.
Speaker 1: Because he doesn't have to know these things, right, I know,
I know Amy knows. Well, what'd you do?
Speaker 3: I guarantee you Amy knows, or policy is for birthday
parties or she does.
Speaker 1: But like, for instance, Kaylen, what'd you do the whole time?
Speaker 2: I watched football?
Speaker 1: Yeah? There you go? Case closed?
Speaker 3: So not drop off yet they're too young? No, right y?
Speaker 2: I know we stayed there. There's a bunch of parents there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel see remember when you were the kids
were at the age there's that weird age where when
you have a party you have to count for entertaining
the parents. Right, Yeah, So when you're thinking about ordering food,
or even if it's just pizza, you have to think
about parents.
Speaker 1: Are the parents gonna want to have just pizza? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Do I have to get a salad for the parents?
So was there good food?
Speaker 2: It was Costco pizza, It was pretty good? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, did Amy go or was thish?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 2: We both went.
Speaker 3: So it was like something to do for both of you.
Speaker 1: See now, Caitlin, you do get a lot of credit
because you do go to a lot of things I do. Yeah,
like you go to their games and you go to
their the birthday parties.
Speaker 2: And Ila scored three goals in her for the weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh wow, I love ooh girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, there's like there's a little like tent set up
kind of at the park where they sell like toys
and stuff. And I was playing and she wasn't really
into whatever, and she was like, Hey, can I get
a toy? And I was like no, And I was like,
but if you score a goal, I'll get you some candy.
And then all of a sudden, she was very into
the soccer game.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, see how that works?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like right away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's hilarious. That's so cute. So did
you have to get her three pieces of candy since
she scored?
Speaker 2: She honestly, she forgot about it. We never ended up
going to the store.
Speaker 1: That's the best. It's just so funny.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's so funny. What about Blake?
Speaker 4: Blake did not score any goals in her game, but
she tried very hard.
Speaker 3: So so cute.
Speaker 4: There's a real go getter on Blake's team that was
a bit of a ball hog, you know, just kind
of taking the ball at every turn. So you're just
like all right, you know you're running around out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those ball hogs.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's the worst.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was the ball. But at that age you
kind of needs somebody to take over.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The worst are boy young boys basketball. Those boys
are the worst ball hogs.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah I hated that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So Kaylin, are you enjoying? Like is it fun?
Speaker 2: Do you like sometimes other times it's a hassle.
Speaker 3: What parts of hassle? Let's hear you vents.
Speaker 2: Just going to the soccer the soccer practices.
Speaker 4: I go to two a week and I bring my
lawn chair and I just set up and then I
just sit there and you know, it's boring, right, But
it's fun to watch them in the games.
Speaker 2: But practice is boring.
Speaker 1: Practice is boring. Yeah, games are funner. But yeah, it's
just I feel for Kaylin, like he's so easy going.
You know, it's just a it's kind of you just
roll with the flow.
Speaker 2: I do. I do roll with the flow.
Speaker 3: Do you talk to the other parents?
Speaker 1: No, See that's the other thing. You're not fighting with
any parents yet or anything. You're not bumbing like cheese.
It's off of them.
Speaker 3: No, are you finding any other parents annoying?
Speaker 4: No, they're all cool, I guess. I mean they all
talk to each other. So why don't you talk.
Speaker 2: To them because I don't want to.
Speaker 4: Why I don't want to It's that's.
Speaker 1: Like my guy friends that are dads. They don't want
to talk to any other parents either. I mean I
can three get three guy friends off the top of
my head that have kids. They go to their games
and they don't want to talk. They don't want to
socialize with the other parents. They just kind of sit
off on their own.
Speaker 3: So does Amy go to any of this stuff too?
Speaker 2: Your games?
Speaker 3: Okay? But yeah, you're in charge of the practices because
you have the flexible schedule.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she's making dinner too. It's right around dinner time.
So yeah, she stays home with one of the girls.
I take the other one to practice.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's nice, that's good.
Speaker 3: Okay, So it's a little it.
Speaker 2: Talks to all the parents, so yeah, let her do that.
Speaker 3: So have you had to go to any more like
school functions?
Speaker 2: No, not yet. There's I have to work some school
function in like two weeks. It's October.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to go and spend a Sunday working
on some like booth or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Halloween a Halloween festival.
Speaker 2: No, it's something else, like Carnival festival. That's something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only going to go downhill from here, kaln
Like he's only going to be more expected of you.
Like kindergarten is kind of the sweet spot. It's like
they're just gearing up to expect a lot from you
as they get into the other grades, and there's gonna
be stuff at their school that you need to go
to to like this little show or that show or
this parent night or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like it's constant, yeah, until you catch on and go, okay,
fuck this. I don't need to go to every every
like I don't have to volunteer at every event, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: We need to make like a certain amount of hours,
like we need to put in like thirty hours over
the year at school events.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Or you can just pay money, right, But I already
paid money, so I wouldn't have to do any fundraising stuff.
So I was like, all right, so at least I'll
work the hours.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, so wait, if you already paid money so
you don't have to do.
Speaker 4: It, you're separate things. One is fundraising and the other
one is like working volunteering.
Speaker 3: Right, So I thought, if you pay money for the fundraising,
then you don't have to do the volunteer.
Speaker 1: Now I still got to now because they the fundraising
is you.
Speaker 2: I can pay the money to not volunteer as well.
Speaker 4: But since I already paid to not fundraise, I feel
like I'll just work work the volunteer hours.
Speaker 3: I see. It's like.
Speaker 1: It's like Coltrans working on the side of the freeway.
I don't know. Yes, put in your time community service,
yes is what it is.
Speaker 3: Yes. And forced interaction with other parents.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the worst.
Speaker 3: See. But some women and men probably like that's where
you make Like this is like our college, you know,
like this is where you make your I mean I
made a lot of my mom from when my kids
were little. Yeah, like that's where and you know some
of these I know a lot of the elementary school
parents are still like really good friends with each other.
Oh yeah, me too, Like I'm not really in that group.
Mine was more the ones I met when the kids
were really little, like mommy and me. Those are still
my mom friends right to this day. And that you know,
the school, the mom's Yeah. Yeah, well, you.
Speaker 4: Know when I went to that party, you know there's
a couple guys watching football or whatever, but all the
other dads were a lot older than I was. I
was very clearly like the youngest person, youngest dad at
that party, and they were all like older and knew
each other already. So I was like, all right, I'll
just let them yeah talk, I'll just sit here and watch.
Speaker 3: That's Yeah, you are a young dad.
Speaker 1: You very young, Yeah, especially for Los Angeles, but yeah,
well cal Yeah, I don't know I get or should
I say these days, Well, we're not in like the
South or the Midwest where you turn out your kids younger. Yeah,
but for yeah, for definitely in the southern California area,
you're young. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I had my kid's late thirties and forty
and like a lot of the parents were my age.
Like I didn't feel weird at all. Yeah, meaning there
was not like an old mom, right, everybody was like
we were all around the same age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The young moms were total outliers, like he didn't socialize
with any of us.
Speaker 1: For my school, the young moms were the Russian brides.
There was a couple of them, I do. I remember
there was one like she could barely speak English, and
I felt bad for her because she seemed lonely all
