Speaker 1: I made a decision sunny sun on my head vision.
It's nun Hey everybody, what's happening? I love you guys.
It's Tuesday. Yeah, we have a good Patreon for tomorrow. Yes,
it was from both of us, with love from both
of us. Yes, with love from yeah your pals Stephanie
and Lynnett. Yeah. It was a little on, a little
bit long, a little bit just a tad, I mean yeah,
because it's like sometimes you gotta sometimes things need context, right,
My stories always need like a backstory. Yeah, Oh it
was good. We helped each other. Yes. John always says
whenever I tell him something, he's always like, you don't
have to preface ever, because I'm always like, okay before
I say this, and then there's like a very long
story and he's like the preamble, all right, I got it,
you know what's the So what happened? Right? I like it?
I happen to like it. What's a podcast? As podcast partner?
I enjoy it? Keep going, girl. What people don't understand
is that, like we're trying to fill like an hour
and a half to two hours with content, So we're
not over here trying to make a story shorter. No,
in case you wonder like, did we need all those details?
I don't know. Maybe you did, maybe you didn't like
looking at the clock. Maybe he did. And Stephanie learned
a new Italian phrase on our Patreon. Yeah you say, yeah,
oh no, supposed good you sat posed. It means the
seventh of seventh than never in Italian like post never
gonna happen. Yes, yeah, I got that. Yeah, all right,
So here's here's the thing that happened that I think
is like crime fcol fodder. Yeah, okay, So, uh, doctor
knock Around? I love him? You miss him? Oh my god,
quick quick digression about doctor knock Around. So I went
to dinner with my friend who is the one who
sent me to that doctor in the first place. This
is my friend. I'm not going to say your name,
but because she was like, oh my god, you talk
about him on your podcast, and I was like, yeah,
but he's never gonna listen to my podcast. I don't
even does he know we have a podcast. I don't know.
He's never asked about us anyway. No, no, just like,
what do you weigh right exactly? Now, let me tell
you about my wife. Yeah, my wife, My wife, and
how I got this not on my head, and would
you like a lip glass to go? Is it normal
for you to go to the store and buy eighteen
sets of sheets and then not return any of them? No,
it's not normal. Oh that's what I was afraid of.
These are the conversations we would have with him. I
remember he told his wife went to the to the
makeup store and kingdom with like thirty different lip glass colors. Yes.
He's like, she just spends my money. Yeah, and then
she kind of backhands me sometimes too. We're like, she's
my polar, there's something wrong, and he's like, yeah, I
just love her though. She's my second wife, my wife.
So I was telling my friend, Oh, I was telling
her that we okay, this is a superquick, too long
to read. When I did our ad which is coming
up later in the show for Function Health, I had said,
you know, Lynette and I we love doctor knock Around. Yeah,
and then I was like, we call that's our nickname
for him, and she was like, oh my god, oh no,
and then she's like, but guess what, So all these
years she was like, he never says that to me.
And I was like, well, he regales me with stories
and Benette and me, And then she was like, well
it happened. She went to him and he told and
he launched to do it, but he's still suffering, Like
how's the family And he was like, well, yeah, it's
been years. My god, I know it has been years. Yeah.
I remember when I told him I was getting a divorce.
He was like, God, you're so lucky. Every time I
would come into the appointment, like I enjoy your life.
How fast was the divorce? Was it easy? Like I
got lawyer's numbers for He's like, god, dang, I wish
I could write off in the sunset like you. He's
always jealous every time Yeah, I talk to him, it's
really is sad. I mean, we're not trying to make
light of this now. The reason he won't divorce her,
he says, is a well I love her, but also
because he's worried about his kids. Yes, her, And that's
what my friend was like. He's worried that she takes out.
She's very, very angry, and she takes it out on
the kids right, right, So he doesn't want to chance
them being like alone with her all the time. Yeah,
so he's got like full time nanny when they were
younger and cameras, Oh he does, yes, I want to
see make an appointment. Now. It's so troubling. The whole
thing is troubling, right, But the funny fun part is
doctor knock around. He when I had my first colonoscopy,
it was he was like haranguing me about it. He's like,
you got to get a colonoscope when I was fifty.
So then I promptly did it. Well, you remember the story.
I literally played a classic episode of this where I
went to the first guy and the first guy was like, ah,
you're really thin, you know you might feel it, like,
you know, you should really you should go for the
anistee whatever. And I was like, you're giving me the creeps.
His shirt was unbuttoned down, he had a big necklace,
and I was like, I don't know. So then I
waited till my next appointment, and I was like, he's like,
did you get your colonoscopy? And I go no, because
that doctor you sent me to was like gave me
the creeps. And then I told him the story of
how he was like, I don't know, it's up to
you whether you want to pay for anesthesia or not.
Oh yeah, that's right, right, And I was like, I
want a doctor that just tells me what to do. Yes,
you know, I don't know. I've never done a colonoscopy
on somebody. I don't know. Anyway, long story short, went
to a different guy who's great. Yeah, I remember who
I liked. After my colonoscopy, which was when I was
like fifty three, I don't know, he said, you don't
have to come back. He said, everything's fine, you don't
have to come back for seven to ten years. Nice.
So then a couple of years ago, after a yeah
last year or whatever, knock around, was like, hey, so
did you make an appointment? Did you you need a colonoscopy?
And I was like, well wait, I thought I don't
need one. I thought you don't need one for ten years.
He's like, nope, five every five. And I was like yeah,
because he was telling me. He was saying that there's
been a spike in uh, you know, like colon cancer
and stuff like that in women he's seen oh recently, yeah,
and that's why he's been and I haven't gone and
done it yet. I need to deal it, okay. So
on that note, I was like, Okay, I'll do it.
It's been it'll over five years podcasting. Yeah, well there
already is a little bit of a good story because
so I contact Well, I'll just tell you is just
I don't know if I should say the name of
the doctor because I had just had a bad experience
with his office staff. Spoiler alert. Okay, so I make
an appointment to go have a consult you. I make
an appointment and they're like, you have to come in
and do your like pre check, and then they ask
you questions and they take your blood pressure and then
they give you a time to come in. Okay, so
I go, it's far. It's in thousand Oaks. Yeah, so
not to be the SNL sketch, but you gotta it's
it's kind of it's a drive. And I even I
literally said, I was like, can't this be a zoom?
And they're like no, because I could do like blood
work and stuff. Right. No, they just had to literally
they just took my blood pressure that's it, which I
could have just told them whatever. Yeah, yeah, literally ask
me how much I weigh and took my blood pressure.
They didn't even like weigh me. So anyway, but I
get there and the front debt They're like, okay, that's
ninety dollars right away, And I was like, well, I
don't think I have to pay a copay because this
is like a wellness thing, right. So when you have
ppo insurance, it pays for mammogram, pap smearer wellness things
are the kids physicals. You don't have to pay a copay.
So I'm like, I don't think I owe a copey
mind you. I'm not like what the fut Like, I
was just like, oh no, I think that's a mistake.
I don't think I have to pay a copay blah
blah blah. So the woman is right away like, yeah,
well I don't know you do. So I said, okay,
but can you just double check because it's been like
five you know, I'm not coming in for I don't
for any thing. I'm just it's a wellness thing, right.
So she's like, well, it's coming up that you have
to pay a copay. So I'm like, well, hold on,
let me just call my insurance company. So I try
to call the insurance company, and you know how that goes. Yeah,
see that's where you lose me. I don't know where
how where's the phone number? Who I talked on my
insurance on your customer service, and I got them on
the phone kind of quick. Really, yeah, okay, it's not
like the old days where I'd have to wait and
then a rooster you'll be in the background, right, But
remember that those days, I was dealing with sadie stuff.
It was like specialty doctors and bills that hadn't anyway.
So you called the customer service and got some ice
on them. I got them on the phone. They didn't
help me. She was like, Oh, I don't know, like
I'm going to have to research that and get back
to you. Is it because of the doctor? You think
it's probably the doctors, Like every doctor's different of what
they're right or what they're charging. Oh I know that.
When I got my first colonoscopy, I didn't pay anything,
not even a coping. Oh yeah, I remember. It was
all free because it's like it's a standard thing that
you so it's a preventative medicine. Yeah. I just went
and got my mammogram last week and walked in and
knocked out exactly, you don't pay for that, So I
was I'm so finally I'm just like, ugh, all right,
let me just pay the coope and I'll just deal
with this later because I'm here. I've driven here, so then,
but I still was like, I just really don't feel
I think it's weird because this is preventative. Then the
woman goes also, if they find anything, you got to
pay for that, like out of pocket, and I was
like what, And I was like, I don't think so.
I don't think so because my husband, because John had
just had a colonoscopye like this this year and they
did find like a pull up and they removed it
and we didn't get billed for it. No, So I'm like,
that just doesn't seem right. And oh, because you know
you're signing all these papers saying that your responsible, right,
So my brain is going so they're going to find
something and then I'm going to be charged like thousands
of dollars. So then I said, okay, I'm like a
little bit work concern now because I haven't heard of that,
like why that's not covered by my insurance. Just then
this lady pops out like she summoned a Jeanie out
of a bottle. She comes storming out and she's got
a pissed look on her face and she goes, yes,
your husband did pay. Oh really, so she knows. So
you're in another room listening. I guess she looked it
up because you know, I guess she went and looked oh,
because I said, I goes, so wait, you just looked
it up, and she goes, I sure did. Wow. Like
this the attitude, it was so much attitude, doctor Jesus,
Like that's the last thing you need. No, and why
are you mad? I wasn't even mad. I wasn't even mad.
And when I'm telling you, I know I have a
history of sometimes getting mad at people with their unleashed dogs,
but I was not mad at this point. I was
just like I was just in my mind. I'm like, well,
I don't know if I'm going to get this now.
I'm going to go research this with my insurance. I
wasn't mad at them. I wasn't like you guys are
trying to fuck me either. I was like very much
like legitimate questions, like I don't know that I need
to figure out what this could cost me before I
do it. I don't want to spend like thousands of dollars.
You don't want to get stuck with a bill. No,
So until I talk to my insurance company, which I said,
they said, I have to call you back. Okay. So
then I said to the lady, I was like, wait,
so you looked it up? And she goes, yeah, I did,
and you did pay for it. And I was like,
well how much? Because now I'm like, did they just
charge our credit card and we didn't see it? Like
they're a two thousand dollars charge? So I go, well
how much? And she goes, I swear to god, I
am not exaggining. She was like this, do you want
me to look it up? Oh my god? And I said, yeah,
I do, Thanks day, please do? She go too, bitch
and she just looked. She had such a nasty look
on her face. Meanwhile, the girl at the front desk,
who's kind of a young girl, I was imagining like
if lbe worked at a doctor's office, Like, I don't
want to come off like a crazy Karen at all.
So I was like, hey, like like I said, like
it's probably fine, but like, let me find out the
deal before I have this, and she's just looking at
me like if if she was chewing gum, it would
have been like she'd just been like staring me down
into it, like I don't give a fuck about you
right at his central medical office. Yeah. Also, I driven
like forty minutes to get there. It was really hard
to find, right, Okay. So basically the woman comes back
out and she goes, yeah, you were charged eighty four dollars.
So I'm like, all right, everybody needs to relax. I'm like, okay,
that's that's that's reasonable. Oh she goes because it went
oh this is what she had said. She goes, it's
going to go against your deductible. Well, our deductible is
really high. That's the thing about health insurance these days.
We have like a thirteen thousand dollars family deductible. And
I was like, oh, I thought it goes against the deductible,
and she goes, well, they pay a portion of it.
She's still mad at this point, for I know, and
I was like, I'm not going to argue if I
live for people to come in and oh my challenge her.
Oh my god. And she's wearing like pink scrubs and
I can't explain why it annoyed me, but it was
just like she thought she was real cute. I mean right,
like she thought she was cute. She had like frosted
blonde hair and pink scrubs, and I was like, get
on my face, bitch, come on, I'm too old for
this shit. I'm having a call in Oscar. Pa, call
me when you've had a call in Oscar. She's christ
So then I go, I go, okay, eighty four dollars
if that's if they find something, is fine. I go,
I was worried that you were talking about like thousands
of dollars. And she doesn't go like, oh yeah, of
course not no. She just turns around and walks back
into the other room. So I'm like, okay, fine, So
I sit down. I wait, I get called in. It's
not the lovely doctor who I met with the first
time I had a colonoscope. That guy's it's like a
pa uh huh, it's just a guy. He's like, hey,
so what brings you in? I go, my asshole, No,
I didn't say that. I was like, well, I'm Meanwhile,
I filled out the paperwork and it says I'm here
to get like a conn you hate that. You fill
shit out, you go through like, ask you a million questions.
Then you get inside, like okay, what's going on? Like
just look at the paperwork I wrote down why I'm here? Right?
I just did this at the vet the other day.
It's like the Phil's having trouble out, you know, standing
up walking and then they get inside. It's like, what's
going on with Phil? Like look at your notes? Why
are you giving it to me while I'm waiting in
the lobby? I hate that? Right? Right? Or just read
through it real quick? You know? That always makes such
a show of like grabbing your file out of the
little wind to the outside of the door and rustling around.
What are you looking at? You know? Like how many
times I get to tell you why I'm here and
why at the at the at the ass doctor too, like, right,
I'll give you three guesses. I'm here to get my
ears cleaned. Exactly where's the vision test? I wanted to,
like see if my glasses prescription change? Right? Yeah, So
I go, uh colonoscopy like you know, and he goes, okay, well,
like what are your symptoms? And I said, well I don't.
I don't have any symptoms, and he goes, then why
are you here? Swear to God? I go. I was like,
is somebody playing a joke on me? Am? I unpunked,
and I said, because I'm supposed to have a colonoscopy
because my physician said I need a colonoscope. And he goes,
so he starts looking through that, but now he starts
looking through the stuff and he goes, well, the last
time you had a colonoscopy, the doctor said you don't
need to come back for seven to ten years. And
I was like, really, I go, okay, well, I don't
know what to tell you. I go. My doctor says,
I do. I go, so is that why I was charged?
Like now I'm still back on the h I go, so,
basically what you're saying is oh so. Then I was like, okay, well,
I drove all the way out here, so you're telling
me that I don't need you don't it's like not
appropriate to get one. And he goes, well, not so fast.
He's like, well, when we did your first colonoscopy, it
does say that you had some hemorrhoids. M I'm like,
I have what now? I did have hemorrhoids when I
was pregnant with Sadie Xanders. Yeah, that's the last time
as far as I know that I've had hemorrhoids. No
shade on having hemorrhoids, because obviously I have them. But
I was like, I don't, are you sure that's me?
And he goes, yeah, a lot of times you don't,
like you might not know. And I go okay, and
he goes, and also, you have like a diverticuli or something.
And I was like, okay, I don't know what that is.
But he goes, well, and then he starts explaining to
me what it is, and he goes and then but
if it gets inflamed, there's nothing to really do about it.
If it gets inflamed, it can turn into like diverticulitis,
and then there's also really no you just take some antibiotics. Okay, Okay, Well,
well how am I going to know if it turns
into that? All I know is that when I had
my colonoscopy, I was told I have a perfect colon.
Like I was told, like, such good news. We want
to frame your colon. It looks great. That's what I
was told. So you're telling me he was holding back
on me with the bad news. And he goes no,
and I was kind of trying to joke around, and
he goes, no, but like that is something that that
is something we could use to say that we want
to do a colonoscopy. Now I'm like, what you're saying
is it's elective at this point, like now I have
to push. I was like, I cannot tell you how
hard my physician put it, my general physicition pushes for
me to get this. I don't want to have a
call R. I'm not like, you don't be super fun,
drive forty five minutes to not eat for an entire day,
drink a bunch of crap, pop my whole body out,
and then have a calonoscopy. I don't want to do it.
But now I don't understand because my physician says I
need it, And he's like, hey, you know we can
do it. We can tell the insurance company we can
we can get it covered. I was like, okay, so
now I'm I guess I want to have a colonoscopy. Now,
So did you get a prescription for it? Did not
get out? Give you that that piece of paper and
you gave it to them and they still are telling you.
They're still saying you don't really need one. Yeah, but
he said, we can fight your insurance company by say,
by telling then that it was prescribed by your GP,
but all gps, I guess have their own like summer
like ten years. I guess Hours loves people to get
their butts checked. Yes he does. He's like, that's one
of his things. I guess it is his thing. So
then I was like, all right, I get so. Then
I called John when I left. I told him and
he was like, well, at this point, you're only like
a year out of meeting it anyway, that's true, might
as well get it done. Yeah. So I'm like okay,
and then they never called me. Oh. Then they said, okay,
we're going to call you in a day or two
schedule the colonoscopy. Never heard anything, of course. See that's
why when somebody says, call your insurance company, I'm like, no, why,
I don't know. I never get anywhere. Well, no, I'm
not saying the insurance company. The doctor is like, what,
we won't schedule you today. We will call you and
then we will schedule it. Nothing. Really Yeah, that's crazy.
And you recommended me to that place. I mean, yeah,
I did because I liked the guy. But yeah, I'm
starting to think it doesn't really matter who does it. Yeah,
maybe I need somewhere nicer I just need to go
to place closer, because when I was supposed to go,
I canceled because it was so far. It was like
passed and whatever. It was far and that day that
was something going on, and then I never rescheduled. Well,

She has her hazards on and I'm like, oh, fuck me.
You know, it's like you know, it's just you get
that call and it's like, okay. My first instinct is
to go get her, but like, no, I got I
got to get somebody out there to GOA. And I

card on her for her Triple AG. I got it
for her. So she sends me the thing and they're like, oh,

and I'm like, what the fuck really, because you only
pay that like once a year. Yeah, they said you
didn't keep up the payment. I well, I have an accountant,
so I had to like text her. She got on it,
but but that was going to take too long, so
I called. So I call these like tow truck people

twenty five minutes away. Oh no, like you just really
it's been forty minutes and you told me that twenty
you know. And he's like, now, well, you know it's
Saturday night, a lot of traffic, and now I got
this guy on the way. So I'm like, first, well,
there's not a lot of traffic on Saturday night. Well
now the opposite of me, right, That's what he said.
He's like, you know how it is on Saturday night
there's literally a lot of traffic. And I'm like, okay.
He's like he'll be there, don't worry, he'll be that.
He'll be there and I'm like, I like, you know, now,
Natalie's like, my friend is close by, she can come
pick me up. And we were going to the movies
and we still have time, and I'm like, you can't
leave the car there. So I call the guy back
and he's like, he's like, we're gonna be there in
ten minutes. And I tell her have her pick you up.
I mean, I'll pick you up, but if you time
it right. So she had her come pick her up
and the guy just got there. So she left. The
guy took the car and he took it so there
was it was no place to bring it. So I'm like,
I guess you got to bring it home and then
tomorrow's Saturday. I'll find a tire place. Anyway, I tell
him three times, when you pull up to my house,
call me and I'll meet you outside. And also, please
don't put it in the driveway because then she's gonna block.
Then it's gonna block me, and I'm not gonna be
able to get my car right. What does he do?
Doesn't even call me, and I'm like waiting for the guy,
and the guy goes, yeah, I already dropped it off,
and I'm like, what and I didn't pay them yet, Like, okay,
how do I pay you? And he's like venmo me
or zelle, but like, doesn't tell me. There's just walk out.
There's the car just sitting there. Guy's gone in your
grip in my driveway, right in front of my car.
So I get blocked in. However, Natalia was able to
maneuver my car back from and got it out around
her car, which took forever, you know. But yeah, so
that was the ordeal. And then today I had to
and so anyway, then it wasn't going to be ready
till Monday at the order of the tires. So today,
so Natalia went to work and took my car. Sonny
has his car, went to his work, and I love
that they're working. I love it. And then and then
I talked to you and I was like, I'll uber
to work tomorrow. And then when tomorrow came, I was like, fuck,
I hate ubering all the way out here. It's far
and this tireplace is right here. So I'm like, okay,
when's it going to be ready? Anyway? So I uber
tok the tire place. I missed the exit by the way,
Oh my god, that you know, It happens all the
time when I'm in Uber. Some thing always happened, missed
the exit anyway, got the car. Now I'm driving an
Italian's car. And then I'm gonna tell you have the
same car. No, okay, she has a sedan. I have
it like a little suv okay, and hers is a
little differences kind of the same, but a little. Like
I was telling you, I I'm like, where's the knobs
for the AC or whatever? So I'm like, I just
set it on low and it's one hundred and ten
degrees anyway, So that was my Saturday night, and I'm
thinking to myself, like what if I wasn't around, or
what if I was dead? Like what does she you
know what I mean, Like these kids get a flat tire,
you know. So I taught her, like this is what
you gotta do. I guess she would have called triple A.
So I made it right with triple A. By the way,
So that Saturday morning, when they came and towed her
car to the other place, it was covered. Oh okay, good, yeah, yeah, yeah,
because triple A is not that expensive, no, I know,
And I got it for her. And when she got
the car, and I was like, okay, perfect timing. And
then you know, now they're like, no you haven't. I
don't know, you didn't make it. You haven't one more
payment something. So anyway, got it figured out. That was
my Saturday night. So what had happened? Like where the
tires destroyed? Oh my god, the side of her it
was like a huge hole, like you could see inside
the tires something she hit. Just it was like somebody
slashed her tire with like a machete. Wow, both tires,
big gashes. Yeah, on a huge freeway like to the
two ten in Pasadena. That's so weird. Yeah, it was
pretty so dangerous, like that could have been a blowout, right,
I know. Yeah, And luckily I think she was in
the right lane because she immediately had to get over
and she got into Luckily she got into a good spot.
But you know, it's kind of scary, like what if
it happened late at night, you know, coming home from
someplace far I don't know, don't know, it's kind of scary.
I know that makes me think too, just you know,
not to bring every everybody down, but I do think about, like, Okay,
if something happened, how like what would the next step
be for my kids, right, yeah, I guess my and
my brother would have to step in. But like, also
I have you know, the next of kin is like
my brother. You mean, if something happened to you and
John and John, but I'm thinking like, yeah, I'm thinking
now depressing like big picture or something happened, what would
they do? Everybody thinks that way. Yeah, but then also
on a small level, yeah, I'm definitely definitely i'lb asks
me everything. Yeah, that's good, that's good. No, it's not good.
She well she asks you ask for help. Yeah, yeah,
doesn't think to do anything really on her own. Well, see,
it's a lesson learned because I told her you have
your triple A card. It was in her wallet, right,
But she calls me first, you know what I mean,
like and she's like, what are we going to do?
And I'm like, well, you have your Triple A So
now she learned. So if it happens, I don't think
that she would have thought. You know, it's just when
I talk to my kids, it's in one ear and
out the other. This is it. You know, here's your
Triple A card. If something happens with your card, you
know you can call them and blah blah blah, you
know whatever, show them put it in your wallet, so
in one ear and out the other. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
she puts it in her wallet and was like, oh, yeah,
I have a triple A card, you know. Yeah, totally.
I think I was. It's interesting. I was having a
conversation with John the other day about LB and I
was like, the thing about her is that she's got
certain like anxieties that prevent her from initiating sometimes things.
But then you know, and all teens, man, these teens,
they won't make a phone call. Yeah, so like try
to tell olbe here's the for our dentist called the dentist,
and appointment never gonna happen. I gotta do it. But
once she has the thing, like now that she has
a job, she's uber responsible. Like with her last job too,
Like never late, Not one time in like three years
was she late for work. Like she's on it, planning it.
Even if she goes out the night before she knows
she has to work, then she she'll pick up shifts.
You know, Oh I'm not doing anything next Sunday, Okay,
She'll work a lot of hours, you know, And she
does a great job at work, like they love her.
One of her you know bosses, is already like you
should ask if you should if you could get a
promotion and be like a food runner, oh little to
host us. And she's like, really, you think she's gotta
be running that place, but she won't on her own
do the thing that you need to do to like write. Okay, yeah,
like we okay, this is maybe whatever. I don't really care,
I'm gonna tell you anyway. So we were having this
thing because so she dropped out of her sorority, but
she didn't tell anybody apparently. So I got a bill
that was for July through August, and I was like,
and it was for like thirteen hundred dollars. Wow. Yeah.
So I was like, Lbie, I just got a bill
from your sorority for thirteen hundred dollars. I thought you
dropped And she was like, oh, well yeah, but I
couldn't officially do it because you know, it's just some
bullshit thing of like, no, you just didn't do it
because hey, that seemed like a good idea, but you
weren't thinking about consequences. So then I said, well, you
didn't call anybody, and actually take care of it, right,
She goes, well, no, because I needed to have the
phone the person I'm gonna as soon as school starts again,
that's what I thought. I didn't know they would bill
you over the summer, right, Well they did, right, and
they frontloaded it. So and I was like, and I
don't want to pay this. You're not in the sorority anymore.
You're not getting anything out of it. And yeah, also,
why are you guys billing me for July fifth to
like August fifth? Why what is happening? Yes, in the
sorority that she's part of, right, nothing, that's what. Even
for those of you who are thinking, well the kids
go back early and they start doing their whatever and
stuff for the new incoming, No, not ELB because it
doesn't nothing even starts until into September. Yeah right right,
they're late, like Sonny. Right. So I'm like, okay, that's
just this is ridiculous. So then she's like, okay, I'm
on it. I'm going to get a hold of the
right person and I'm going to drop Okay, So you
know what happened. Nothing. A week went by. I was like, okay,
so you took care of it, right, oh, not yet.
I'm about to. Then, like another couple of days go by,
and she was like, oh my god, yes, I just
like remembered, and I texted my friend to tell me
to give me the person's number to do the official drop.
It's one person you have to contact. Okay, another cup
all days go by, I'm like, did you get a
hold of the person? Did you drop out of your
fucking sorority? And then she's like, well, the person that
I'm nobody has that person's phone number, right, do you
know what I mean? That age? It's a age, I guess.
But also it's because she doesn't feel the conse consequence yea,
because it's not so then I said, well I really
hope now. So now we're in the room and John's
in the room, and I'm frustrated. So I go, well,
you know, I just hope this doesn't have a consequence
where you know they're going to withhold like you starting
classes now I got our attention, you know. And she's
like wait what And I was like, well, I don't know.
And then John has to go like, I don't think
you should worry about that because it's not really affiliated. Yeah, yeah,
headphones are hurting my ears. Yeah, it's like it's I don't,
I don't it's not really affiliated, right, Yeah, of course
what I see. What I hear is you didn't go
to college, so you don't really know this stuff. Like
me and Lbie were like college people, like, you know,
but I'm like, well, I don't know. It's on the
campus of UCLA. What do you mean it's not affiliated.
He's like they're not going to do anything or whatever.
And so then later John and I had to have
a conversation because I was like, I'm trying to teach
her about consequences and You're like, I don't worry about it.
He was like, well no, I just I was being literal,
like that shouldn't actually be a concern anyway. It was like, yeah,
it's really hard. It is hard. It is consequences, you know.
And I told Natalia, you know, when you go back
to Santa Barbara, you didn't have to get a job.
Her last day is this Wednesday. She's going to be done.
And then she's driving back at night with her roommate
to Santa Barbara and she's like, I am going to
get it. She's like I'm so bummed I have to
leave my job like she likes it, which is great.
So now I want to keep her on that path.
I want her to get you know, she's gonna have
to get another job. It ain't gonna be Jimmy Kimmel alive, obviously,
but she knows of like a you know, boutique store
that some of her friends work in, and blah blah blah.
So she's gonna start looking and she's excited about it,
which I'm saying. I always say to l B. I'm like,
where do you do your friends work? First of all,
a lot of her friends don't work, and they're her age,
and they always have money, like they're traveling, they're doing
all these things, and I'm always like, how like is
everybody wealthy? Yeah? Like remember we had this conversation a
long time agoes like we'd see these women with their
diamond rings and their range rovers at school pulling up
and they got their fucking, you know, Gucci bag or whatever,
and like how like where you know what I mean? Like,
I you know, I was had lucky enough to have
you know, a nice life when I live with anam,
but I never like, like why like with the blinky
bling blings in the in the herses and the shoes
and the dressing up to go. You know, it's like
how like yeah, like you're with what Like I don't know.
And Los Angeles is so expensive. It's so expensive, you know,
Like I would understand it if it was like, well,
you're just not like this, but if you were like
that and you had your Adam was making a lot
of money. But these are just like regular people. That's
anybody you've ever heard of. And I'm always like, what
are these jobs these people do? Yeah? Right, they're all
in finance? Are they all? Like? Right? I know, you
don't understand anything about like what a finance job even means? Yeah,
I know me neither My Natalia's best friend's mom worked
in finance. They moved out here from New York, so
both of them are like her and her husband I was,
you know, she's she would tell me she works from
home and stuff, and I'm like, what do you what?
What do you do? Like I would sit at games
next to her and she would, you know, she's like
I deal with a lot of people, you know, the
money for people and handle it and like that's great.
What do you do? Like if somebody was like, can
you help me with here investing money? I don't even
understand anything about Yeah, I'm not bragging, by the way, people,
I'm not saying like I'm learning. I'm stupid and I
don't care. No, but I just don't understand what that
even Like, Okay, are they doctors because I don't even
feel like doctors make a ton of money. Look at
doctor knock around. He's not making he's not bringing it in.
He can only afford thirty lip glasses for his wife.
You know, yeah, I want like fifty, I want a
fifty lip glass lifestyle. Yes, yes, yeah, okay, so a
regular physician, no, I mean like realtors realtors? Yeah, but
what happens when the stock not the stock market, but
when the real estate market is down or interest rates
are high or are they still and also like they're
not all going to be like you know, the selling
sunset sunset real estate ors, real estate agents? So is it?
Are they business owners? Do they start like a line
of like a clothing line? Yeah, I guess I don't know,
but you got to figure for every clothing line that
does well. I look at like Lisa Vanderpump, by the way,
whose just exxudes money. I do like what she does
with dogs. I have to say I'm warming up to
her a little bit watching vander Pump. I'm on season
like four. But yeah, like she's and I'm thinking, why
does she have all this money? Because she owns a
restaurant and didn't like a restaurant, go under one of
them or two of them? Listen' she just have, sir,
I think Pump is gone. I think, well, she also
now has a lot of TV franchise that, yes, But
before she had a ton of money too. I think
she had restaurants and bars in London too. Oh that's
what I think. But how did how restaurants seems so risky? Yeah,
I know, and then like it seems so hard to
get it, to build it up and get it, you know,
having I mean listen to us, we're just don't come
to last. Restaurants fail, yeah, a lot of do. Yeah,
even hers, Yeah they fail. It just seems so hard.
Like if you don't have a TV show, how you
getting people in the door? Right? And even like Jack says,
a TV show that's gone right his restaurant right? Yeah,
Well he never had a restaurant, he had it. They
put his name on the bar. Somebody else owned that
bar and they just branded it Jack, so he felt
like he was like a part business owner. I doubt
he paid one penny into the pace. I never thought
about that, but yeah, that makes sense. They just branded
it his brand. Oh god, that's why he you know,
and he tried to make it famous by wearing his
stupid like hats and sweaties and stuff all the time
to advertise it because his name was going to bring
people in because it was now a like vander Pump
right right far Yeah, well, joke was on them now,
I know. Well, I'm sure it still gets a lot
of business for people that want to be although now
he's out of it. Yeah. I think they took his
name down. Yeah they did. Yeah, yeah, but you know,
I mean, I had a TV show and let me
just tell you, it did not make me rich. It
was nice. I got healthcare for two years. Yeah because
of AFTRA. Oh my god. Somebody showed me that they
got a residual check from doing my show. It was
only for a penny, so that was why they were
showing it to me. But I was like, I've never
gotten a single residual for doing my own show. Well,
that's weird. I guess it was a buyout. So are
they airing it? It airs on Hulu. It does, you
can watch it on Hulu. Why aren't you getting recient?
You should be, didn't? I don't know. It's weird. But
also the pay that I when I did that show
wasn't very high either. So it's like, you know, when
you think about like working actors, it takes a lot
to be like living well, even if you are working
on projects, right, Like, you got to work on something
that hits, and then you've got to renegotiate for like,
you know, I've had friends who worked on like Netflix shows,
like regulars on shows, Uh huh for a long time
that we're living very normal life. Oh yeah, I know
a lot of those. Yeah. Yeah, it's true. It doesn't
pay that much. You have to like have this and
first of all, you have to get lucky to be
on a show that gets renewed first of all, or
then you know, then you have to be like a
character actor that you see and that kind of gets
jobs here and there. Yeah, acting doesn't really pay that
much unless you're Halle Berry or Brad Pitt or whatever
exactly yeah, you know, unless your box office smash. Yes,
like stupid with Ryan Reynolds, I want to punch in
the face. Yes, exactly did you hear about this Isabelle
Fierra stuff that with Blake Lively that she's she they
subpoenaed Wayfair subpoena and Baldoni subpoenaed her. Isabelle who played
the young stupid Blake in that movie It Ends with Us.
She's like a young actress. They tried to subpoena her
for this lawsuit like three or four times, and she
played dumb like she didn't know about it. And now
I guess she's backtracking. She's basically trying to I think
that she got blaked, Like I think that Blake has
like love bombed her. Well, you know about how she
would have her spend the night during making the movies
and like do like sleepovers and yeah, you know do that.
And she's kind of been missing from the scene, like
nobody's really heard or seen from her where her allegiances.
You don't see her out with Blake. But I guess
so there's this was all in the in the news.
I'm sure by tomorrow people know what I'm talking about.
But I saw it this morning that they finally got
a hold of her, and I think she was subpoena
and she was saying that, uh, I think she was
like acting on behalf of Blake, not really saying that
she was sayed by Baldoni but felt uncomfortable or something.
Oh wow, I think I don't don't quote me, but
I think it doesn't it's what people were saying didn't
look good for Baldoni's side couch. But then you but
then people were playing like clips of her in interviews
where they didn't even ask her about Baldoni, and she
was like and the door and Justin was just so
so so great and so wonderful, and I just loved
coming on set and felt like this was my time
to show. Like she was gushing multiple times, not just
once when not even really asked about Baldoni. Unnecessary, just
very effusive, very going on and on. And you know,
now she's saying like it's really weird. I don't know,
like or she was unco I don't know. She's not
sticking up for him, that's for sure. That's so interesting.
And I feel like, you know, Ryan, I feel like
Ryan Reynolds has a lot to do with this. I
feel like, you know, talking to her and getting her
in their you know, in their head, like I'll put
you in my next movie. What who knows? You know,
it's such a douche. Can't stand those two. How old
is this girl? She's only in her like she when
she was filming the movie, she was like twenty two
or something twenty and Blake's pushing forty and she's like
grooming her, which is kind of creepy, like when they
were making the movie, you know, like, oh, you know,
I wear all my clothes and this and that. And
then Taylor Swift's album is going to be dropping, and
they're saying that there's going to be like Easter eggs
in there about uh, Blake. I think there's a song
called something like end of the Road or something, and people, oh, really, yeah,
they know the names of the sound of this of
the songs, but it's not out yet. What if the
song was called it ends with us, wouldn't I? But
it's like a disk track, yes, like oh my god,
a dis track, yeah, like that would be great. And
now they're saying she might play the Super Bowl Taylor Swift, Yeah,
I'm like, did she already. I guess she hasn't. Oh yeah,
so it makes sense now's her time to shine. Wow,
that would be interesting. Yeah yeah. And it's her twelfth
album and she like had this countdown blah blah blah
the other night. I'm kind of getting into her a
little bit. I don't know. I couldn't tell you one
song she sings, shake it Off. Oh yeah, that one. Yeah,
I'll say a toothing. Yeah. I mean if I heard it,
maybe i'd know, like the pop ones, you're in the bleachers,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I feel
like if I listened to her lyrics, I would like it.
You'd know all the songs, yeah, a lot of them. Yeah,
But I feel like she's really talented and good songwriter.
She is. I'm gonna listen to this shit out of
her Blake track, this track, I can't wait. I know,
