Speaker 1: Made a decision face sunny sune on. I had a
vision night.
Speaker 2: To what's up everybody? It's for crying out loud. How's
it's going. So you're having some coffee, I'm having some coffee.
Uh huh, all right, tell me all about Vegas. I'm
gonna settle in Vegas. Fucking sick of Vegas. I'm sorry
about I'm leaving. I got back from Vegas. Yeah, going
back again. I'm going I got back.
Speaker 3: Yes, two days ago. I'm going back again to day
off Thursday. Mm hmm. What's going back again? This in
a couple of days Thursday.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Let me tell you something. It's like a
lot tell me everything. Well, so.
Speaker 3: You know, when you're flying to Vegas, you only have
like Southwest Airlines Delta Spirit, and then you get this
jet Sweet thing. Now, Jetsweet is interesting because it's owned
by Jet Blue.
Speaker 2: Jet Blue too.
Speaker 3: Did I say jet Blue?
Speaker 2: Jet Blue? Southwest? Jet Blue? Love Jet Blue?
Speaker 3: I love Jet Blue and I love I fly Jet Blue.
I try to fly. I have the Jet Blue miles.
Speaker 2: So jet Blue, by the way, where the first airline.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm not like a big traveler,
but it had TV's in every plane, and I found
that to be so helpful because I like to watch
TV on a flight, and I didn't know that places
like United they're like, maybe we do, maybe we don't. Yeah,
I know, you don't make sure that you're the one
that does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know right.
Speaker 2: I remember when jet Blue first came out on the
scene because one of the writers at the Man Show.
Was she at the band Show at the time or
was it Kimmelt, I don't know. One of the guys's
wives was pregnant and she was on Jet Blue and
it was circling burb It couldn't land, and it was
on the news and she said that because of something,
and they were like, you know, they're they She was
watching the local news and they were like breaking in
you know, jet Blue Airlines circling Los Angeles because they
can't land because of some kind of like technical difficulty.
And she's watching it as I was like thinking to myself,
Oh my god, I cannot imagine being on the plane
watching your plane on the news.
Speaker 3: That's that's how I always think of when I hear Jet.
Speaker 2: Blue, And of course my brain because it's me and
I have a little add I'm like, Okay, so she's pregnant,
so is this gonna be a story about So she
ended up having to give birth on the plane, right,
And then but then I went a little farther than that,
and I was like, well, that's couldn't have been because
why would she be flying? Then it's on her, not
at her. Why are you flying when you're nine ten
months pregnant? Stay home? So I ended the story in
my mind being brad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby turned out just fine. Yeah, So I take
jet So I take been taking Jet Sweet because I
have the Jet Blue miles and stuff like that, and
so I love Jet Sweet. And it's so interesting because
you just go to a hangar. You drop your car
off or you take a cab. You show up, You
walk into this little lobby and you give them your name,
you can show them your eye government ID, they take
your temperature. There's like, you know, a hangar, it's an
airport hanger and that's it. Then they take your bag,
no security, nothing, But I was never pre checked. I
was never had sent in any kind of documentation from
the government or any It's just to just go there.
You show up there. I don't know how they get
away with that? How do they does anybody know how
they get away with no security?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 3: You know there's no I mean sure that, but I
saw I watch my suitcase. They take my suitcase, they
put it on a on a cart and then they
loaded into the airplane.
Speaker 2: Never ran it through any security.
Speaker 3: They do, but I don't see it. No, No, there's
no light. They don't put it on the thing.
Speaker 2: You don't have to walk through security. No, that's weird.
Speaker 3: Is it's privately owned, it's owned by Jet Blue. I
don't know.
Speaker 2: And it's just it's like.
Speaker 3: It's like a block away from the Burbank Airport. It's
not far, it's a it's in a big airport hangar
and there their airplanes look they're different colored, but they're smaller.
They're like a commuter jet, you know, really smaller, but
probably like sixty seats. I think not very many.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe safe pretty big. It's pretty I mean it's
not that big. It's not a lot, not a lot
of people. Well it's not like five Yeah, it's not
like that. No, it's not Garagos as babies.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know. Anyway, I love jets, sweet
so I flew out Jet Sweep I flew back on Southwest?
Speaker 2: Why you ask?
Speaker 3: Because I left my I D and credit card at
the strip club the night before.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Lynette, how many times is this gonna
happen to you? This is not the first time you
left all your shit at a strip club?
Speaker 3: You know, I do, That's what I do.
Speaker 2: That's so Lynette. Okay, First of all, I think.
Speaker 3: I need a ball around back up.
Speaker 2: Also, why wouldn't you Why wouldn't you fly home on
the airline that doesn't check your ID? How why how
are you quite commercial with no ID? Okay? Well, first
of all, that story does not make any sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, doesn't this story my life?
Speaker 2: But so they don't check your idea jet sweet.
Speaker 3: No, they do check your ID. That they do check.
They just don't check your bags. They check your ID.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they take your You walk into the into the
into the lobby, you give them your ID, They take
your idea, your temperature, and then that's it. They take
your bag and they put it on the plane. Okay, So,
but you didn't have IDs? So how did you get
on Southwest? Okay?
Speaker 3: So what happened was what happened my girlfriend Dawn? Okay,
separate separate. So all right, I was in Vegas over
the weekend for a Corolla drinks event on Saturday. Saturday night,
they had a tasting at the Expot at the Venetian.
Thank you very much to the Expot people. It's a
spar that's like there's one in Chicago, there's one in Vegas.
It's really nice. Everybody's very nice there. And they did
a eight when eight whiskey tasting on Saturday night. So
we went and it was so it was me, Patrick
and his wife Sharie, Jennifer and Dylan that went.
Speaker 2: All of us flew except for who watched Patrick's baby.
They have I think they're nanny, right, oh, okay, or
his dad or her dad, her parents, somebody watched the baby.
Grandparents to have.
Speaker 3: The face timed with the baby. It's okay, yeah, grandparents.
So my girlfriend Dawn, okay, don't ask, but she's a
big time gambler and she would go to Caesar's and
gamble all the time. And because of COVID, she hasn't
been there in a long time, so now she's been
going again. So they give her a two bedrooms suite,
so I stayed with her in one of the bedrooms,
and then the rest of the gang got their bedrooms,
got their rooms, and Jennifer had to drive the product.
Somebody had to get the product, the whiskey out there.
So Jen drove and we rented her a car and
hand on the poor girl had to drive. You know,
it's about a four and a half five hours drive,
depends on the traffic. But it's like Memorial Day weekend
and everybody's back and everybody's vaccinated. It was Vegas was packed.
It was all I mean, it was all back to normal,
no masks, and traffic was back to normal. The traffic
getting into Vegas, traffic getting out of Vegas. Poor Jen.
So I get to Vegas and I'm down's been there
like two days. And her and her husband he gambles
on like the ponies, and she gambles. She plays blackjack,
or she'll play poker sometimes, but I think blackjack is
her thing. And she last eighteen grand over the week.
Speaker 2: What the fuck could you believe that? I don't know.
Speaker 3: She wants me to say that, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: If she's late what mm hmmm, how between and her husband?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 2: I think is like, well, girl, you had eighteen to
lose then, right, right, I don't know how she does.
I mean, unless you're immediately entering. I don't know what
the proground for gambling a day. Then I guess it
wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 3: She didn't, I mean she was.
Speaker 2: That's a proble. I wouldn't get a chance. I know.
Speaker 3: Well, I know, but not my problem.
Speaker 2: No, I know, but it's a problem. Yeah, I didn't
have kids, right, She has a grown daughter that works
and she lives with her boyfriend m Ouch. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Her parents were gamblers too. Her parents were married for
like forty five years, and they'd go to Laughlin, Nevada
and gamble and Don would go my girlfriend, Don. I mean,
I've known her since we were teenagers. But as when
she got in her thirties, she started really gambling. She
would I heard stories of her driving to like Chimash
by herself at night and just gamble and you know,
stay that win. She wins a lot of money too.
Speaker 2: So yeah, but here's the thing. Here's the thing about gambling. Yeah,
you will always lose more than you win. First of all,
that's because of how Vegas, because of how gambling is
set up. You will always lose there's always more of
a chance losing than winning. And then the problem is
unless you are unless this is like a one off
thing for you, and you go to Vegas and you
hit something really big and you're like, oh my god,
what I've this never happened to me, And then you
just put pocket all that money and go home and
don't go back to Vegas. Eventually you will lose that money.
If you're somebody who gambles regularly, the odds are just
unfortunately not in your favor. So even if you have
some huge wins, at some point, you will also have
huge losses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, her and her husband, they had the
one kid and then I was thinking about it. So
he does mortgages and she her grandparents. Well now she
runs it is a cemetery out and bump like it's far.
She runs a cemetery. So their whole thing, Like they've
been married, Don and her husband probably been married. I
think they've been married for like twenty seven twenty eight
years now. And they bond. I mean, I don't know
they bomb, but that's what they do. They go out
of town, they go and they stay, they live it up,
and then they come back and they go like like
retired people, yes they are, they are totally like yeah, retirees, yes,
yeah they are. And that's that's gonna be me When
I retire, I'm gonna start hitting the bottle again. Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Just can you imagine my gambling? Oh my god, my
life would spiral soap. That would be like, oh no,
I'm just gonna be Retiredna John and I are gonna
move to like Arizona and just be live that retired
life and it would last like two weeks and then
I'd be in rehab right for multiple things.
Speaker 3: Don's probably going to rehab right about now. It's Tuesday morning.
Speaker 2: She I mean, like that sounds like a good idea,
doesn't it. As a lifestyle, it never is, I think
in action in reality, it's never as good as like, yeah,
it's nuts. I can't imagine going to Vegas all the time.
Speaker 3: Me neither.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're living that life right now, and well
I knew not about that life. No god.
Speaker 3: I mean I remember I had to go to Vegas
for a week and work at NAPPY National Association Intelligence
Programming Executives Conference once a year, and I would have
to be there for a week and hat I remember
one time they put us at the MGM, and it
was like the MGM is like a big city on
its own, right, and you just walk out. You just
want to you go stir crazy.
Speaker 2: You feel unhealthy after a while, after like day three,
day four, like you don't get to see the daylight.
Speaker 3: You're inside all the time. It's not fun. I don't know,
Like it's so depressing to me when I'm leaving Vegas,
you know, like on Sunday morning and I look around
and I see these people that are just like in
an up all night gamblights. It's it's like a depressing
like I can't wait to get home and take a
shower and just descrub these strippers and smoke off of me,
you know.
Speaker 2: Okay, So so bring me back to dawn until finish
that part of the story.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just I'm just telling you, like about my weekend, it.
Speaker 2: Really doesn't don have to do with how you got home.
Speaker 3: So basically, yeah, I mean what happened was I got
there and I stayed at Don's in Don's room, so
or I had my own entrance and whatever. I was
there twenty four hours. I wasn't there. I got there
at like three o'clock in the afternoon, and then left
at four thirty five o'clock the next day. Was supposed
to leave it eleven fifty five the next day, but
because I didn't have my ID. Yeah, so anyway, so
I get there out. So we go to the thing
on Saturday night and our pals were there. So Louis
Juarez showed up.
Speaker 2: Love Lewis saw the picture. I die. I was dying,
I know by the time I saw him, I was like,
you meet his wife too.
Speaker 3: I don't remember.
Speaker 2: Maybe in the picture he posted, he said that the
first thing you said was I'm sorry, I'm really fucked
up right now because amazing.
Speaker 3: Somebody gave me a hit off of a of a
joint before we left, and then, which is bad because
I usually don't I don't smoke pot. I smoke pot
in a long time. So then I had a little
teeny hit of weed. Then now I'm like that's it,
Like I'm done. Now, I'm like, oh shit, you know,
now I'm like really stoned. But I pulled myself out
of it.
Speaker 2: We go to the event and then the me like
they gave me, you know, I got a whiskey and
everybody's trying the whiskey drink and I'm drinking like water
in between and and uh, and then.
Speaker 3: I did like a shot of the eight one eight,
and then that was that.
Speaker 2: And then then then Lewis showed up, and then I
was like, sorry I was he showed up right when
I was flying high and feeling good about myself. See,
I can't with pot I can't feel good like I
have to be. I know We've talked about this a
million times, but I have to be just in four
walls watching TV with no threat of having to interact
with any outside forces.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't even need I don't if the thought of
even going to the store is very threatening, Like if
it was just taking a walk, I'm like, I can't.
I'm not going to rape have something wrung up? Right?
Can the idea of even navigating from my hotel room high? Like?
Am I getting in a cab? Am I walking? How
would I find it? Who? Somebody would need to lead
me around? Like I'm a toddler, right, I know me too,
that's I would need a handler, Like to Okay, here
you are, we're at the bar. I'd be like, don't
leave me and.
Speaker 3: Don't talk to me, don't make my contact right, That's
how I usually am.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing too, I hate with this weed nowadays
because people are like, oh.
Speaker 2: This week, didn't we just talk about this? Were we
talking about this?
Speaker 3: This weed's gonna make you feel like happy and you
get things done and you're productive, and then this weed's gonna.
Speaker 2: Melded, is gonna be bad. Totally. It's all the same.
Speaker 3: So and so I think to me, all right, here
I go, and then I'm like, oh, it's still the same.
I feel paranoid. Am I talking you loud?
Speaker 2: Or whatever?
Speaker 3: But I'm in Vegas, so it's a different kind of
vibe and I'm on the go and my adrenaline's going.
And but I still was like, I was so tired
when I got there. But by the way, and I
just didn't. I didn't. I wasn't. I haven't been sleeping
good because I go to my other place and I
don't know. I just did go through these days sometimes
where I just don't. I haven't been sleeping very good
at my other house. So so I was like, the
night before Vegas, I'm thinking myself, Okay, I want to
get a good night's sleep. Well I didn't, and so
I got there tired. So then we're drinking arounving a
good time.
Speaker 2: Lewis is there? Did you fly in with Don? I
flew and alone? Okay, yeah, No, Don was there two
days before I got there. Oh boy, okay, yeah, she
was there like in the middle of the week. And
then Patrick and Nal got there. They flew. They flew
separately from you.
Speaker 3: Though, and Jen drove. So I get there, yeah, and
we get to the club that night. So we get to.
Speaker 2: Stay at the hotel where you where the event was.
Speaker 3: No, we were at a different hotel. Okay, so, uh,
Lewis was there? Who else was there?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: So David Heroes son David, Yes, and he's a sweetie.
And he brought I sent him a bottle. He bought
a bottle of eight one eight, and he asked if
I would sign it. I know, but I didn't realize
what it was for. Just Emmy said here, can you
sign this bottle because Emmy does our shipment R. And
I signed it and then then I found out later
on it was for him. It was for his father,
and I was like, oh yeah. So then he brought
the bottle. It wasn't opened, and he was like, can
you personalize it? So I first lined anyway, he sends
his love to you, so it is Lewis by the way.
I know.
Speaker 2: I was so jealous.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It was really cute.
Speaker 3: It was really nice, and there was a bunch of
other people that showed up and we had a good
time and uh that was fun. And then we all
went to eat. I took everybody to dinner at Nobu.
Speaker 2: Did you really yes? Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Because Don's guy at the casino. Don's guy at
the casino that gets her room. Her room was camped,
so then he was able to get me discount rooms.
And then he called me the casino host and he said, hey, doll,
you're coming to town. I don't know if he talked
like that, but he's like, uh, you know, we're going
to be very busy. Do you want reservations because all
our restaurants are going to be booked it's Memorial Day.
And I said, I have a good idea. And I said, uh,
all right, what restaurants she got? And he's like, mister chows.
I was like, uh no, He's like Nobu. I was like, uh,
what else you got? How about a food court for
these people?
Speaker 2: How about a shrimp cocktail? Yes, right, while we're gambling,
what are we happen In the days of ay dollars,
you can get like prime ran for two ninety nine? Yeah,
is that not a thing?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: You gotta go.
Speaker 3: Downtown, You gotta go downtown.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Vegas was so great for poor people.
Oh yeah, I know when you could eat and drink.
You could bring one hundred dollars to Vegas, gamble hold
have all meals. We would stay at like I'm not exaggerating.
We would stay at like a motel six, like right
off the stripe for like nineteen ninety nine a night. Yeah,
because they would always have some kind of special Yes, yeah,
I'm not even kidding. I remember the uh, what's the
one that's like an Asian theme? Really old though, uh,
I can't remember, but it was so cheap. It was
on though it was on the strip, but it was
like the cheapest hotel in the strip. It was right
next to the Mingo wrote. That's where we always stayed.
I'll think of the name event, but it would literally
be like eleven dollars a night.
Speaker 3: That's what we used to do. We used to stay
at like you know, lousy Larry's and downtown and like
it would be so cheap.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then your meals were just like buffet
would be like a dollar ninety nine. Right now you
can eat none of that anymore, No, not really. So anyway,
Boom boom. So it was a really nice, fun night.
Everybody says hi to you, Stephanie, that's so cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So we went to No Boom. We had a
good time at dinner.
Speaker 2: So first the event, the whiskey tasting, then you go
to Noboo for dinner.
Speaker 3: Took everybody to dinner. Okay, it's fun. So how many
and Steve to dinner? Don Steve, Jen, Pat, Dylan Me okay,
and Schui Patrick's wife.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So we had a nice dinner at No Boom. Very expensive.
Speaker 2: I was I was literally going to say, were you
like was your butt clenching up a little bit? Like
every time They're.
Speaker 3: Like I'm the one that was doing that. Yeah, right.
I was so hungry, and I was like.
Speaker 2: I get that way with my kids where I'm like,
really you have to have one of those fancy roles.
Can you just have like just have another order sandwich?
Speaker 3: You know, it's Stephanie. A bunch of shots will really
help that. Yeah, makes the bill go down easy.
Speaker 2: Okay. So it was all right, all right, Plus it's
a right off, it's a rite off.
Speaker 3: And also I didn't have to pay for my room,
like don gave me her room, Like yeah, I mean
it was.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
Speaker 3: So uh then we did some gambling and then at
some point everybody's like, yeah, let's go to the strip club.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Now, I was like into it when I was younger.
Speaker 2: I'm tired. Now I was like, I kind of wanted
to go to bed, but but.
Speaker 3: We were in Vegas for one night. Everybody. I mean,
it was like I'd been to Vegas, Yes, last weekend?
Speaker 2: I was there?
Speaker 3: Was that right, Vegas last weekend?
Speaker 2: Yes I was.
Speaker 3: Am I going again this weekend? Yes I am? But
you know what, I still pulled it together and went
to Crazy Horse three on Saturday night. Okay, okay, because
that's what a trooper I am. So you're somewhat of
a hero, thank you.
Speaker 2: Not all heroes were capes.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: Good for you, thank you, Good for you. Thank you.
Made it to the strip club, made it to the
strip club. Saw some boobs. Yes, I did.
Speaker 3: So we went there and just but basically Jen and
I just sat there. Everybody else left us. I don't
I thought. I think maybe it was kind of probably
uncomfortable for some Well, Patrick's with his wife, so they
went off, and then.
Speaker 2: Dylan, they went off like they didn't come with you.
Speaker 3: Well, no, they were there in the Crazy Horse because
we all came together because you see, these strip clubs
are on the you know, on the edge of town,
as Bruce would say, like they're off the beaten path
a little bit. So everybody's got to get in the
car and go right. You know, there's no like, hey,
I walk over and meet you.
Speaker 2: I'm Patrick's wife was like into it because remember how
she's right trying to wake up his sex drive a
little bit. Yes, she was probably like he was probably
like can we just come back to the right and
she's like, absolutely not. We are going to a goddamn
strip club. You are going to see some tits and
ass that kills you, right, He's like, it just might.
It's just we should add Patrick on.
Speaker 3: I's tired, we should add patrick on. Yeah. No, yeah,
they were they were. So we got our table. We
sat down, but then like slowly but surely it was
just Jennifer and I just left, like the two of us,
and Jen's never been really like, is their second time
at a strip club? And then she's like, oh, you know,
She's like hmm, She's like, oh, so they don't get
all naked.
Speaker 2: Oh that's fine.
Speaker 3: You know, there's like a bunch of like different stages
and they're you know, these girls are dancing all on
different stages and stuff, and and and then she's like,
I just now, I guess I don't feel so bad
about my body after all. One thing she said, I remember.
Speaker 2: There's a positive.
Speaker 3: Then this girl goes over, right. So then so then
they see two girls just sitting by ours. We're just
sitting there. I'm not in any mood to get a
lap dance.
Speaker 2: I already just spent.
Speaker 3: I just got killed over at the Nobu restaurant, right,
and the last thing I want to do is about
a couple hundred dollars for chosen with a Z to
give me a lap dance.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: So Jen was like, this girl, So a couple of
girls come over and and I don't. So they were
trying to talk us into like two for one or whatever.
And Jen and I are like no, no, no, we're just
like chilling. We're just relaxing, like you know, our friends
are having fun.
Speaker 2: We're just see this is where I would get like
even strip clubs. It's a business, you know totally. It's
like I feel like you'd be on basically a car lot.
You know that they'd be like, all right, who's up,
look at these next suckers? Okay, and then they would
just dag you and hound you and make you feel
bad about yourself, like what do you got no sex drive?
What do you don't like? Women? Anti women? Yeah, like
until you're like, okay, you're doing dance for me? Now okay,
I know, and now like now will you want another song?
Said dance?
Speaker 3: Like like I was like, okay, you know, here's twenty
bucks to do it, and they're like, nah, they want
to take you to the back room. They don't even
want to dance for you there for thirty dollars. They
want to take you someplace else. I don't want to
take you and shake you down someplace where nobody can see.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. I mean like I guess
they think you're gonna spend more money in the back room.
Speaker 3: I was like, no, I'm not falling for that.
Speaker 2: Jen, you don't fall for that either, by the way,
And do they walk around this is what I'm imagining.
I'm imagining they walk around with their square like so
that you can just run your credit card, you know.
Speaker 3: That's another thing. No, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it was all cash.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't pay for anything at that point.
Although I had to put my ID and my credit
card down, okay, so that we could sit down. We
couldn't even get inside to sit down unless they take
your credit card.
Speaker 2: Okay, so of course they you. Now here's where my
my anxiety kicks it right after the No. No, I
have a thing about like not having my ID, my
like losing my purse.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, every I mean yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: I know everybody does, but it's the worst worse with me. Oh,
it's the for me.
Speaker 3: It would be like the phone or the purse, right,
I mean, it's just but it's not my first time
losing shit at No.
Speaker 2: I know so, and you're just a more laid back
person than I am in general.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I gave them my credit card and my ID, right,
and then we went and got a table, and then
we were there for I don't know, like maybe two hours.
I don't know how long we were there.
Speaker 2: You lose time, yes, it's Vegas, like you'll lose weekends. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then uh, so we're just sitting there, and so
Jen's like trying to talk to the girl about her
like outfit or something. I don't know, live gloss, I
don't know. Gen's like, oh, I realized that they don't
really want to chit chat with you.
Speaker 2: No, they want to get.
Speaker 3: Down the business to the brass tacks. And uh, and
I said, well, I'm not if you want to, I'm not.
I don't want to and I don't need it. She
was trying to tell them no. But then like her,
so then she she had to tell Jen her name
was chosen with a Z. Then she was like, oh,
then Jen's like, is that your real name?
Speaker 2: Is that your chosen name?
Speaker 3: It's your chosen name. She's like, no, her name was uh,
Twana was her real name? Sorry Tuna, but anyway, don't
that's not her last name. So we were hanging out
and they realized they weren't getting anywhere pretty fast with
Jen and I and then uh, and then Dylan left
and then he came back and I was like, all right,
can we go?
Speaker 2: I was so tired.
Speaker 3: I remember saying a few times throughout the night, I
think I'm gonna go back to the hotel. Oh no, no,
no no. You know when you do that, when you're
trying to get out of it, and you're like, I
can I'm gonna go back to the hotel. I think
you guys, you guys go have fun. No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: Stay stay stay well. I still remember when we went
to San Francisco. You Kaylin was Dylan with no Kaylin, Patrick,
You and and Serie all drunk, and I was like,
I gonna go to bed and all all y'all were like, no,
you're not. Kaylin was the drunkest I've seen. He was like, huh,
let's have one more drink, more drink. I'm like, you guys,
it's two am. Like I've I don't drink, so like,
I already did a show, free show, post show, was
at a bar for a while. I'm like, I'm done.
You guys were like hell no, Kaylan I was feeling.
Speaker 3: Good about himself because he did his first.
Speaker 4: Day stand up.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yes, you sure did. Did you do anything since.
Speaker 4: I tried to do another set I opened for Joe
Coy one time. It did not go nearly as well.
It was in front of a way bigger audience.
Speaker 3: Well that seems hard.
Speaker 4: I tried to Yeah, do that, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well we should do it again.
Speaker 2: I got to stick with us, with the loving crowd, yes, right,
with the supportive people that are there that are excited.
Speaker 3: To see you, right exactly and have.
Speaker 2: Some jokes so kidding anyway, Yes, So I understand the
feeling of.
Speaker 3: Just way to go to sleep to All I wanted
to do was go back to the hotel and go
to sleep. Then finally we just rana. So I was
so tired. When somebody said let's go, I was like, yeah,
let's go. And then we just left and we went
and I went back to the hotel and I passed out,
and then I remember waking up like six point thirty,
going holy shit, I don't think I signed out and
I didn't. So then I called so.
Speaker 2: Dylan, had you ordered stuff?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Did you have stuff on your bill? No?
Speaker 3: I didn't order anything. Somebody got I think I think
Patrick and Dylan got us drinks, but I didn't have
but they put it on their own tab. No, I
probably put it on my tab. I put it on
my Okay, but it wasn't very much because everybody as
soon as we got everybody left us. It was just
Jen and I just sitting there right and then we
left and then went back to the hotel. He woke up,
and then I had a plane at eleven fifty on
Jet Sweet, which, by the way, too, Jet Sweet is
so nice because when you leave Vegas, I don't know,
you know what people know what it's like coming back
from Vegas, but you got to go to that Vegas
airport Southwest. The security line on a Sunday morning from
Vegas to Burbank or La is just it just is
a nightmare. It's always long.
Speaker 2: And with Jet Sweet, you again, you go to the hangar,
you just give them your name, you sit down.
Speaker 3: You we're gonna miss that flight. We used that full
strip club to open, well, I they were I thought
slip strip clubs were open twenty four hours. Apparently they're not,
but they there was somebody there. I could have went
and got it, but by the time I was gonna
go get it at six point thirty up, I realized
I didn't have it. I went back to sleep. I
woke up at like nine and and there was a
lot of so so then I called Dylan and I
was not in any mood to get up. I was starving,
and I was like, can you see if there's other flights?
So there's another flight at like four point thirty, So
I got on that on Southwest.
Speaker 2: So you went to and got your ID, so then
I yes, So then I went got my ID and
on the way to the airport and uh got on
in south and got to the airport like an hour
and a half, two hours early before going home. So
I sat at the airport like exhausted by myself too,
which is the worst, Like after you have a fun
weekend like that and you're the worst.
Speaker 3: Is traveling home, you know, the next day. But I
was like, but at least you have a friend with
you to be like hung over with on the plane
or on a drive home. Right, No, I was by myself.
Jen had to drive home by herself. She took her
eight hours to get home. Oh my god, yeah, eight
hours with traffic and cold road closure and poor girl
hannuh yeah, I know. I was like in my in
my house and air conditioning she's still on the road.
Speaker 2: I am too old for that. I know, I'm too
old for all this whole story. I'm just like too.
Even when I was young, I was kind of an
old person. Even when I was young. I mean, don't
get me wrong, I loved going to strip clubs, but
I was always also sort of obsessed with like like
can you have cellulate and still be a stripper? Well
that's what Jen was saying, because I really wanted to
remember that story. How a girl tried to talk me
into it and I was so on the cusp of
like thinking it was a good idea, but I was like,
you don't understand, like I have a really big butt
with a lot of cellulate, Like I just don't think
that's gonna be a good look, and it's not.
Speaker 3: You'd be surprised.
Speaker 2: I well, I was. I mean, I guess what the
right the girl was trying to tell me. She's like, no,
you don't understand. The lighting it's kind of dark. I
was like, hey, you no amount of lighting gonna cure
might be surprised.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now there was.
Speaker 2: You can you know if you pay attention, if you're
like Jen and I are just sitting there going where
is everybody looking at these strippers? And Jen going, I
don't feel so bad about my body anymore? And she's
a beautiful girl like, yeah, you don't have to be
perfect to be a stripper, right. Sad that I was.
That was the only thing putting me out of the
the race. I'm like, I don know my butt like
my boobs, yeah, I have natural bubes, right, But I
was like, the butt part is going to be what
kills me? Like there, I'm not gonna get tips. And
I really was like calculating how much would I need
to make, like is it worth it? And then I
remember asking really specifically, like how because my whole thing
that also caught me up was but how am I
gonna learn how to dance on the pole quick enough
to write? Who? How do you do that for the
first time? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? And then the girl was like, ah,
you just do it. You just like fake it. And
to me, this was no different than trying to wing
it on stage as a comment, right, I was like,
something I will not do. I need a script, I
need to know exactly I need to choreograph some moves.
There was no s factor, There was no stripping, right, right,
there was no like stripping as exercise classes back then,
still talking yeah, ninety early nineties and there.
Speaker 3: Was none of that.
Speaker 2: No, it was not cool. It was still something sort
of seed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you would do and I was fine with that,
right me too. That was not my pot about it.
For like a day, she.
Speaker 2: Was like, Oh, you just go to Vegas and you
just like you just get up there. I was like,
just get up there? Have you met me? Like, I
have a lot of anxiety. I'm going to be having
anxiety about my body. What am I going to do
with the pole? Can I avoid the pole?
Speaker 3: Right? Maybe you could do without the pole?
Speaker 2: Well, I asked her, can you just do lap dances?
Because I'm like that seems sort of easy to figure out, right, right,
you just climb on their lap and like, you know,
grind around. I could do that the boobs in their face,
right that I'm all about, That's fine. She's like everybody
has to go up though, She's like, that's kind of
how you get the business for the the lap dances,
is you you they cycle through all the girls. You're
gonna have to go up and do a little pole
dance at least twice a night, right, and that's where
I was like, well, I guess I'm out.
Speaker 3: I'm out, yeah too, I know. And people were like,
you should be a stripper when I'm like, when I
was in my twenties, totally you would.
Speaker 2: Have been in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, skinny with the big boobs, the name with.
Speaker 2: Me, I'm all like, let's go back in time and
get you out there on the pole. Come on with that.
You're wasting time. You can still do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could still do it. Let's start a new
reality show women in their fifties get back up there
and do their stripper Yeah.
Speaker 2: Side hustle, kayl and you with us for this?
Speaker 4: Yeah that sounds like fun.
Speaker 2: Hey, okay, so you so you get home? Were you
so tired? I was exhausted. I was so tired, and
then I just crash. What did I do?
Speaker 3: Oh? It was my weekend to be in pat in
my place, my little bungalow, so thank god. And uh
it was weird because it was my like first three
day weekend as a separate as a you know, not
a married woman, I guess. And uh so Adam was
with the kids and I was like, oh, so I
don't have to do anything, so yeah, I just slept.
Speaker 2: Podcasts, listen to podcasts.
Speaker 3: No, I slept, I stayed in bed. I didn't do anything.
I was so tired I've been because I didn't sleep,
Like days leading into Vegas.
Speaker 2: What did I do?
Speaker 3: I just talked on the phone. That's about it. It's relaxed.
Speaker 2: That's nice.
Speaker 3: Would you do this three day weekend?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh? Uh okay? I took Xander clothes shopping.
Speaker 3: You go.
Speaker 2: I'm doing the hands Wing the Things, Excitement Level strip
club in Vegas, taking my son to the Topanga Mall.
So I guess what I'm trying to say, Lynette, is
my weekend was pretty exciting.
Speaker 3: Really, I would rather be at a pang them all.
Speaker 2: It was really cute. He so Xander, He's gone through
a little gross spurt and none of his clothes like
he basically just wears sweatpants. He's like me. He's like
a forty fifty year old woman who just wears drawstring like,
but he just wears anything with an elastic waistband. She's
got too small and he just he doesn't have any
He likes all his clothes to be just comfortable, right, Yeah,
shorts with elastic waistpan Hollister shorts and T shirts. But
as you might remember about Xander, he's also kind of
a brand hoe and he doesn't he gets in and
out of stuff, So like Hollister.
Speaker 3: No no more, no more? What's what's the new one?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: What are they like? Now we're this age?
Speaker 2: He likes like skater brands, Thrasher, and like stuff from
like Dickies, skate stores, vans. So he's tough. He's a
tough to shop for. But so I brought him so
but he needs g so he doesn't have any jeans
he had. He wants some. He wanted some jeans because
he likes to dress cool, so he doesn't always only
want to be in like shorts. Of course, me being
the mom, I'm like, where are you gonna wear jeans to?
You're not gonna wear them? Like I'm gonna buy you
jeans and you're never gonna wear them. Where are we going? Right? Like,
as far as his thirteen year old self is concerned,
it's still basically a pandemic. They can't do that much.
Nothing happening that requires putting on a pair of pants
with a button, right, But whatever, he wants them, so,
you know, and he doesn't ask for that much. So
I took him to American Eagle. Yeah you're walking around, yeah,
And I honestly was like, I wouldn't even know what
size he is at this point, uh huh so because
I'm still you know, you think of your kids, even
though he's a teen, I still think of him as
a kid, like where I would go shop for him
in the boys section, right, but he's at that age
where he's a man's size, but like the smallest because
he's still pretty short. Yeah, so anyway, they're in between
like yeah, So the guy who was working there was
so nice. I was like, what size do you think
he is? And he was like, oh, he's a you know,
a twenty six or twenty eight waist at twenty eight length. Right,
So we sent him in with a couple of different
pairs of jeans and he put him on and he
looked so cute. They fit them perfect. So he knows
what to because like, does Sadie want to go and
pick him out outfits? Like I got like with Natalia
wanting to buy sunny outfits. And then Satie does not
really like shopping. She likes, you know what, she likes
to just buy stuff off that website. Shine right. She
likes to just pick stuff out. Yeah, and then she
doesn't want to go she doesn't not want to go shopping,
she doesn't want to try stuff on. Yes, it's also.
Speaker 3: Still really hit or miss with fitting rooms. I know
some of them are open, some of them are not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Yeah, So American Eagle, the fitting rooms
were open and that was a big draw. The guy
was like, we have fitting rooms. I was like, all right,
send us in with some stuff. So he went in
and he found two pairs. He's very particular. He knows
what he likes.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 2: So he got two pairs of jeans, and then I
got him some shoes, some like kind of skater van,
all black black, this part what do you call that part?
The rubber base, the rubber soul, black black suede. They're
very cool. They were on sale. Everything was on uh
well okay, so anyway, decked him out. Only found one
T shirt, but he was all happy. But of course
he's never he hasn't worn it since really well, that
was like Friday afternoon. Yeah yeah, well yeah, that's what
That's what I'm saying. I was like, see, you weren't
going anywhere, right, But it was fun. I felt I
got him fun to go and do something that they
want to do the bond, Like Sunny doesn't want to
go shopping, and you know Xander, this was like a once.
I haven't taken him shopping in a really long time. Yeah,
but you know, it's kind of fun because you get
to hear some of the school tea mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: Right has he been going to He's been going one
day a week, one day a week. When's their last
day this week?
Speaker 2: M no, so this so they go Wednesday and then
they go I think next Wednesday would be their last one.
I think my kids are done this week. Oh really yeah,
I think they have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: I think Elbi has this week and then next week
was supposed to be finals, but most of the teachers
made the finals projects. Oh really, so they have like
a final project. Right, So she's busy doing that. But
then I think she won't have to sit for any finals.
Oh okay, but she's not in person at all.
Speaker 3: She's not.
Speaker 2: And then back in the fall in person starting in August.
Speaker 3: I mean, I hope so I would think so, LAUSD
though I.
Speaker 2: Don't know these teachers are going to be like, we're
not going I don't know. I don't know what angle
the teachers are gonna like take. I don't know if
they're going to say like we're not coming back or
we don't feel safe. I don't know, or if they're
gonna come because hybrid. I don't know. I don't know
it better. I mean, God, please let them come back.
Speaker 3: I would think so. I mean, everything is coming back.
The Broadway is open today. Did you know that? No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, bad Way today.
Speaker 3: Like Broadway as of this month, I mean as of
the fifteenth. No masks in California. Less small businesses want
to endorse it.
Speaker 2: That the entire world stopped for.
Speaker 3: Over a year, I know. And now it's like this week,
I think stuff starting to really open back up again.
Speaker 2: Sadie's friend came over yesterday, who is was real. This
was the friend that Sadie could only see like in
her backyard for like two hours. She came in our
house yesterday and it was a huge deal. Oh really, yeah,
that's nice. Well, I mean she's vaccinated, but she's had
one shot. Sadie and Xander have had one shot. They
get there, they get their second shot this Thursday. Nice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, Natalia's getting her second shot this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so exciting, it is exciting, I know,
Oh my god, I'm excited. Yeah. The old family will
be one hundred per vaccinated. Isn't that awesome? I still
sometimes feel naked, like if I go when I'm walking
the dog, because I used to get yelled at, remember
if I forgot the mask. I've had people say that,
But now I've had the opposite. I've had somebody go,
you don't need to be wearing a.
Speaker 3: Mask, Oh got the work. Can't fucking win?
Speaker 2: You cannot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I got used to being in Vegas
now every weekend, like walking around no mask, getting a cab,
didn't have to put on a mask. You know, there
was a Dawn had a.
Speaker 2: Cardinos no masks.
Speaker 3: Well from what I heard, like Aria was the one
casino that you have to have a mask. But the
I was in a bunch of them, they're no no masks.
How's the like the smoking level the same? Oh god,
I just can't.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: When we go to Vegas with Natalia, there's the Delano,
which is a hotel that doesn't have it doesn't have
a casino, so therefore there's like a like a whole
area when you walk in there's no smoking, which is nice.
And that's what I used to go and stay with
with Sonny for basketball. But this time around, we're all
staying at another hotel where the convention is, where the
Volleyball Convention Center is, right, and that's all casinos and smoke,
and like, my hair smells like cigarette smoke right now.
Speaker 2: I know it's so hard to get it out.
Speaker 3: I know it's disgusting.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm listening to Kaylin Look Alive for
one second. I'm listening to The Vaping Fix. Have you
heard it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I haven't.
Speaker 2: It's really good. It's podcast one, I believe. And what
is it?
Speaker 4: I haven't heard of it.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's about the whole how the vaping, how the
vaping thing started.
Speaker 4: The cigarettes.
Speaker 2: No, it's not East cigarettes. It's the it's the vaping
mm hmmm. Where with the cassettes where it looks like
the little cartridges and the you know, it's the jewels.
It's the jewels, the thing that screwed you up.
Speaker 4: Cigarettes.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a difference. These cigarettes are one and jewels
are another thing or another it's different. Some you plug in,
some are of the The vaping is a vaporized These
cigarettes are a different thing. They're electric, right, it's a
different thing. Believe me, if you listen to the Vaping Fix,
you're gonna hear it's this is the next generation. Jewels
were the next generation of East cigarettes. And a lot
of people didn't love ease cigarettes, but they love jewels.
Speaker 4: Those blues. Yeah, jewels were different than those I remember them.
They were their own thing, which is I guess, which
is why they.
Speaker 2: The jewels are the flavor with the.
Speaker 4: Flavor they used to be. Yeah, before they they did
eventually ban the flavors of the jewels. I mean, I
think you can get knock off ones still. But yes, So.
Speaker 2: This is a podcast about how it became really attractive
to kids. And then I think eventually in the series.
I think today I was listening to episode four, and
then eventually I think it's going to get into the health,
you know, problems, because it opens up with a guy.
The whole series opens up with a guy who this
is by the same like Dirty John right and those
the La Times is presenting it too. So anyway, it
opens up with a guy who has a major pro
like health, like he ends up going to the hospital.
He's a college kid. And then they backtrack you to
the origin of it and how is this young company
and how they were profiting a billion dollars like within
three years, and you know, and then how it became
a huge thing because it was being marketed for kids
and on Instagram, and how they realized, oh, we have
a problem first with the fact that it was so
many teenagers were doing it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I used to be heavily addicted to
my jewel. I would smoke it everywhere all the time.
So what are you sho get inside? I'd smoking a
movie theaters, I'd smoke it on an airplane. Like it
was different because before then the kind of vaping would
always produce like these big, huge clouds as well, you know,
those annoying ones that people. But jewels are different. It
was just like you could smoke it and there wouldn't
be any smokes. So I could smoke it literally anywhere. Wow,
and I would wow. And then until my health crisis
issue happened, I went to the hospital. And since then
I've been wearing nicketine patches.
Speaker 3: So you don't anything, no.
Speaker 4: I don't do anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah you still wear Nicketine patches.
Speaker 3: Well, good for you though, Okaylin, So you don't smoke?
Speaker 2: What do you do? I do drink, don't smoke. What
do you do?
Speaker 4: I do drink a little tiny bit every now and then.
I will just with Amy. But that's it. Yeah that's
good for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good for you. So what else?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: What else are you watching? Any new shows? Are you kidding?
Speaker 3: I haven't been able to watch. I would like to.
I haven't been watching anything. I've been so busy. H
what are you watching?
Speaker 2: I'm watching this show called Hacked, No hacks, Hacks, not hacked.
That would be a totally different show Hacks. It's with
Jeans Smart Art and Lorraine Newman's daughter, whose name is
like Hannah Einbinder, I think it's her name.
Speaker 3: And it's Ray Newman, Ray Newman's daughter. Ray you ignorant slut?
Speaker 2: Yeah No, that was Jane's Jane Curtin, same thing, Jane
you ignorant slut? Yeah. Wow, it's pretty, it's so like,
it's good. It's about this young comedy writer who ends
up having to work for Jean Smart plays like a
Joan Rivers. Character who's sort of getting washed up, but
she's still doing these you know, casinos, speaking of Vegas.
And then Hannah plays a girl who got kind of
canceled on Twitter. She sent out a tweet. I don't
remember what the tweet was, but she got canceled for it.
So she nobody will hire her as a TV writer
because she's canceled. So they her manager or agent gets
her a gig against the Jeen Smarts doesn't want her,
doesn't want want to have a young writer because she
thinks she's doing just fine. But I guess they have
the same agent. So he gets them together, and it's
like crazy, what network is it?
Speaker 3: HBO Max, HBO Max Man a new thing now a
lot of shows on HBO Max.
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of which, me and Amy just finished one
last night called Mayor of Eastown.
