Speaker 1: I made a dissension sunny sound. I had a visions
nice what's happening party?
Speaker 2: People in the hissie, Hey, hey, whoop, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1: Yay, it's Friday Friday.
Speaker 3: We had a good show on Tuesday. Well it was
good for me because I got some stuff off my chest.
But I promised that I was going to tell you
give you a little update. Now, don't like go try
to find Sadie and tell her that I'm talking about her.
I feel now did in a Patreon last time where
we talked about showing initiative. Yeah, okay, so here's just
a little story. So Sadie, so there's a to do
just to go to community college. So remember I told
you the story.
Speaker 1: Before about how.
Speaker 3: We found out we had to go in person to
school and tell them that we couldn't seem to get
her registered for school. And then when the woman finally
was like okay, just show, I was like, can you
just show her on your computer? And when she showed her,
the woman was like, oh, you didn't apply, really right,
remember that you have to apply to another thing. It is,
in Sadie's defense, it's very confusing. Yeah, she thought she applied.
I thought she applied, but then she was getting no
confirmation emails. Well it turned out she hadn't applied, okay,
so now she applied, But then I'd have to be
like did you get because you have to wait it's
like twenty four to forty eight hours. Then you get
a confirmation email, which means you can do the next step,
which is apply to the Promise Program, which gets you
free community college. Okay. So then i'd have to be like,
so did you check your email?
Speaker 1: Do you have it?
Speaker 3: And then I told you that. She was like nope,
nothing yet. And then after it had been two weeks,
I was like, really, because now we're going to have
to go in there again. Yeah, and then she was like,
oh wait here it is okay, right, this is what
I'm dealing with.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So she says to me, hey, in order to keep
going with the process of the Promise Program, I have
to register for classes. Okay. So then I tell her,
I want you to go look at all of the
rate my professor, figure out what classes you want to take,
and then you know, right, you don't have to know everything.
Speaker 2: Then I get the rate my professor. I like that, yeah, yeah,
because some of these professors are hourrible?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Anyway, So she does that, she tells me, but of
course she needs me to be sitting with her while
she does it. Well, I think I told you that.
She was like, oh, I can't go. I can't get
on the site from my computer. There's always like a problem, right.
So I'm like, okay, well I'm having no trouble on
my computer. You can come use my computer. Okay, So
then we get through. She when she does stuff though,
she spends a few hours, you know, so she gets
she's written down all the classes she wants to take, okay,
So then she has to do right, she has to
have an appointment with a counselor. Okay, so can you
make an appointment with a counselor?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So she's like, do you think I should do it
in person? And I was like, knowing you, yes, I
think that would be better because then stuff is harder online.
So she makes it for whatever date. I'm like great,
she goes. So then she goes, can you come with
me to my appointment? I was like, okay, sure. Now
do I want Sadie to be able to do stuff
on her own?
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 3: But real talk, do I think she's fully capable of
asking the right questions. I don't think so. I think
she needs prodding. And I think I had that other
Patreon where I was talking about like.
Speaker 2: Is it because you think maybe she's too shy to
ask the questions. Maybe she like gets intimidated, like you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I think we have a few different things going on,
and I don't know which what stops her. I think
that she thinks that she can't do stuff. I do
think she's can get very shut down, and I think
she doesn't. I think it takes her brain also a
little bit longer to take in information, so my brain's
always working fast. I got a million questions. I got like,
but she will not ask the right questions and then
think she has no questions and then later be like,
oh I didn't ask that. I'll say, well what about this,
and she'll go I don't know right. So I was like, okay,
I'll go with you. Okay. So we had this appointment.
We go in, the woman comes out. She looks very
strictly business, you know.
Speaker 1: So I go in.
Speaker 3: I introduced myself. I'm like, I'm just your mom. I'm
just going to be in the background a little backup
so at first, the woman's pretty friendly about it. She's like, oh,
that's great, that's fine, Like, you know, I wish I
had back up when I was having to figure these
things out. You know, it's hard. So I'm like, okay, cool, cool.
So I'm sitting I'm just sitting there, and then she's
talking to Sadie and she's like, okay, so what are
you looking to do? Are you looking to transfer? And
Sadie says, well, I'd like to have the option. Now
Sadie has told me I really don't care. I don't
want to necessarily transfer, but I said it was kind
of my I was like, you don't want to rule
it out though, right right in case, what if you
love a certain ass like let's say you love graphic design,
and you're like, you know what I wanted. I want
to go to I want to finish up at a
four year school. Maybe you want to go away to school,
like maybe by next year you're gonna you don't want
to rule it out, I said, but you don't have
to take all like hard classes up front. You're not
you're not trying to get into U c l A.
So she's like okay. So she's like, okay, so that's
what I'm trying to do. So she had looked at
all the ges. Okay, it doesn't really matter. The point
is the woman's asking her what she wants to do.
She goes, well, I would like to I think I
want to have the option of transferring. So the woman goes, okay, great,
so you're going to need to take math. So you're
going to need do you want to take precoculus or
do you want to take statistics? No? And in my mind,
alarm bells are going off because I'm like, this kid
is not First of all, Xander had a horrible time
with statistics, right, he got a three on his AP test,
which would be a passing grade for other schools. Chapman
does not accept a three, so it was kind of whatever.
He had trouble with it. He thought it was really hard.
So I'm like, if Xander thought it was really hard
and things come more easily to him, I'm like this
poor girl starting out of the gate. She's had me
in statistics. This is a kid who was like, would
probably have rather not gone to college. Like she's kind
of doing us all a favor by herself. She's like,
I want the discipline of going to school, but she
was really looking forward to taking like some fun classes.
So she's like, so you're going to need to take
a college level English class, and like do you want
statistics or do you want you know, pre calc? And
Sadie's face just looks like.
Speaker 1: What you no?
Speaker 2: Someone, I'm like, okay, don't talk, Like do I pipe
up to him him?
Speaker 3: So I was like, can I ask a question? And
they both look at me, and I was like, well,
does she does she have to take like the math
right away if she wants to, could she dip her
toes into going to school, back to being back in school,
and like, could we just do the English and then
like a couple of classes she wants. So the woman goes, well,
I mean, yeah, she can, but if she wants to
have the option to transfer, we think it's best for
kids to like get it out of the way start
doing it, because, especially because it's a continuation, it leaves
too much of a break from doing math.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: So I was like okay, but she wasn't. She didn't
even take any math her senior year. She's already been
on a math break. I said, Now I'm like starting
to not.
Speaker 1: I'm in the.
Speaker 2: Media, like, get out of the way, Sadie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, step back.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm just saying not for nothing. But like
you know, she has never taken stats. So it's not
like she or pre Kalc. I just I said I
worry about her. I thought she was going to be
able to take some more fun classes. So now she
is giving me the side, not Sadie the lady. The
lady's giving me the side. I like, Okay, whose meeting
is this. So she looks at Sadie and she goes, okay,
is that what you want to do?
Speaker 1: You want to not take math?
Speaker 3: So Sadie is like, sure, that would be good. So
then she's talking to Sadie about other classes and none
of them are sounding fun. Linette and we'd gone to
meet my friend of our friends, yeah, and who was like,
oh my gosh, I totally get you, like I got
your vibe, like, yeah, explore and here's what's great about this,
But it's not great about going to see sun. You're
going to have to take all these hard classes right
out of the gate. Now you can take photography. Yeah,
made it sound totally different. So now she's talking to
her about all these classes that do not sound fun.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, but couldn't she
take like oh oh?
Speaker 3: She was trying to say that for her photography class,
you could take history of photography. And I'm looking at
Sadie's face. I'm sitting at an angle so that I'm
looking at both of them. I'm looking at Sadie's face.
She does not look happy.
Speaker 2: But she's not good at like speaking advocating for herself, right.
Speaker 3: So now I'm having the parent thing a battle in
my mind. I'm like, do I let her try to
advocate for herself? Do I just let her be steamrolled?
Do I speak up for her? So I try to
take a middle ground where I'm just prodding Sadie a
little bit. I was like, hey, Sadie, do you have
to take that class? Like is there something else that
sounds like more, you know?
Speaker 1: Does she have?
Speaker 2: And then what if, like instead of doing the possibility
of transferring, like what if she puts that aside and
then just takes classes and then maybe can she later
down the road, like decide to transfer to like maybe
a trade school with a photography school.
Speaker 1: Or something like that instead of a university And.
Speaker 3: In fact One of the options she wanted was like
to do two years of community and then maybe go
to like beauty school, like hairdresser, you know, which I
am all for super protected from AI.
Speaker 1: Yes, for sure, robots.
Speaker 3: Are not cutting our hair yet yea, you know, soon,
but not this not this year. So I'm like, so
I'm on the same page as you. I was thinking
like maybe. Oh, so then I say, couldn't she take
some more fun classes? So now the counselor's a little
bit annoyed, and she's like, well, it sounds like what
you're suggesting is not going the transfer route, right, And
I said, well, I guess I was under the impression.
We were under the impression that she could still take
general education gees to set her up to transfer, but
not like super hard ones, and then also take classes
that she's interested in. And she's like, well, the new
standards say that we as a if you're going to
go to the transfer route, we have to set you
up to transfer to like a UC, which is harder things.
So that's why you have to take Because I was like,
why does she even need statistics if she's going to
go into like an art because she's an art major.
She's like, well, that's just how they do it. She goes,
but what you're so I said, okay, I go I'm promised,
so I'm not trying to take over the meeting. And
she's looking at me like huh. But I felt like
we were under the impression that she could take at
least a few classes that she enjoys and looks forward
to being in school. But it seems like you're saying
for her photography class, she has to be in the
history of photography, which doesn't really sound like a hands
on I thought there were some hands on photography classes.
Speaker 1: So now she's kind.
Speaker 3: Of fully like, well there are. Then she she goes,
is that what you want to do for God? So
Sadie goes, yeah. Anyway, they kind of start to work
it out. So I'm like, in my mind, I was like,
you gotta you gotta stop like interfering. You've got to
let her step up and like handle her own business,
you know, don't do this. So I was like, hey,
I'm gonna I'm gonna step out and I'm gonna let
you to like finish the meeting.
Speaker 1: Sadie looks at me and.
Speaker 3: She goes like, don't hide eyes like, ah, do not leave,
and she goes, why no, you can stay, and I
was like, okay, I just thought leave you to like
I feel like I'm talking too much, and Sadie was like, no,
you're not, and I go, okay, okay, I just did
not say anything after that.
Speaker 2: Well, they needed to get on the right road first
of all, like they both needed to get on the
right page of what she's interested in and that for
her to help her and they needed that's but that's
where you came in, Like you had to get them.
You had to direct traffic and go like, this is
what she wants, this is what she doesn't want, this
is what she's looking at. Okay, now that lady understands
and Sadie's like, yeah, that is what I want.
Speaker 1: Okay, now you guys go.
Speaker 3: It's so hard though to know if you're doing too
much I know, or if you're you know. But then
I don't want to have to then go do cleanup
right after she gets signed up for things she doesn't
want and then later this is how my brain works
then like then I'm going to be like are you happy?
Is this what you want? And she's going to be like,
I mean not really, And then I'm going to say.
Speaker 1: Well, why didn't you speak up? And then she's going to.
Speaker 3: Say because I thought that's what I had.
Speaker 2: To do, right, And I'm going to say, but there's
a lot of ways to do it, yeah, you know,
so anyway, then the woman just goes, Okay, so you're
going to want to just go enroll in those classes
that we picked out.
Speaker 3: Sadie goes okay. Then cut too, though this was like
a week and a half ago. I go okay. So
the other day she comes in my room. Now, mind you,
my kids are doing nothing right now. Either one of
them have jobs. I'm not counting Elbe in this. Albie
has a basically is working full time. Sadie and Sander
not working, not as far as I can tell, actively
seeking employment, not really doing a lot of chores, sleeping
late every day. But then Sadie will come in my room.
Speaker 1: Hi, mom, what's up?
Speaker 3: So the other day I just said, hey, so did
you ever did you enroll? Get your enrollment? Yeah, because
you have to enroll in order to get the promise
program going. Okay, she goes, oh no, not yet. She goes,
I thought you were going to do it with me.
Speaker 1: Oh, no.
Speaker 3: It's like I kind of finally was like, Sadie, I
cannot be like in charge of everything. I'm feeling the
pressure of you and Xander. I feel like I have
to be like up your asses about everything I have to.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 3: You need to be checking your email, you need to
have gone on there. I go, do you even know?
Did you even look into it to see if you
can't do it?
Speaker 1: If you need me?
Speaker 3: And she goes no, And I was not being that nice.
I was like, I need you to make some initiative,
take some initiatives, make an effort, go.
Speaker 1: See what it's like.
Speaker 3: If it's hard, I will certainly come and help you. Right,
but you have to you can't just wait for me.
You're going to miss all the deadlines and then we're
going to be in school.
Speaker 2: Right then she's like you know, she was like okay, yeah,
well she just needed that talk.
Speaker 3: But then the next time I talked to her, she's like,
I'm all enrolled.
Speaker 1: See. I was like, wow, See, they just need that.
Speaker 2: Little extra talk, that little extra push, you know, and
that's great. Like did she get the classes that she wanted?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's in.
Speaker 3: She's in doing like two D design she's doing a graphicle,
a two D design introductory introduction to photography and the
English class.
Speaker 1: Right for that's great, No, that's perfect.
Speaker 3: See winning, winning, winning, you did it, so yeah, I guess.
So I'm just oh, it's a constant. Now I'm doing
too much, I'm doing too little, I'm doing too much.
Speaker 1: Step back, do more. Help them out.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they're going to miss their deadline.
Speaker 1: I know. This is like being I know, I know. Yeah,
I mean I don't have like.
Speaker 2: My kids are gone, so I mean they're home, but
they take care of their own except you know, Natalia.
Speaker 1: Still wants you to go grocery shops because she still.
Speaker 2: Wants me to go get her prescriptions and her grocery.
Speaker 1: Even Maker or done his appointment. Blah blah blah. Yeah, yes,
he's still still kids. They are still kids.
Speaker 3: You got to arrange for Sonny's car.
Speaker 2: Yes, gonna get him his car in a couple of weeks.
That's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, it's not like they're handling. That's true, right,
the school stuff, that's.
Speaker 2: Great, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I mean they just need
the little like a little push.
Speaker 1: But that's great. That's good. Good for her, so your.
Speaker 3: Kids don't come to you at all. Like, uh, I
I need an apartment. I need well that the apartments.
Speaker 2: Yes, Like so Sonny had to move out of his
other apartments, so we had to look for a new
apartment for him. We found the new apartment, but now
we're like putting in the application, you know, blah blah blah,
doing all that. So yes, and then her with her
new place. But that was taken care of a while ago.
But yeah, all the housing stuff you gotta take care.
I'm gonna have to fly to Oregon and get Sonny
set up because I don't think this house, this apartment
is furnished. So I'm gonna have to get him a
bed and he also has a kitchen and so I
you know, to like check it out. That's going to
be like a couple of weeks after we move into
the new house.
Speaker 1: My god, that's gonna be a lot and.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be construction going on. And then so I
have all this other stuff going on. Got to sell
the condo, got to get like construction done at this
new house. You know, like when do we how do
I time it? Blah blah blah. I had the landlords
come over. They were very bummed that I'm moving. They
were like, you're our first, our first tenant, and like
you spoiled us because you were so great, and they
came over. They have boy girl twins that are three
oh and they redid this house for them, but because
their kids are so little, they're living with the in
laws to get to have help, so they don't want
to move out yet. So they were hoping I was
going to stay until their kids went to kindergarten, and
I was like no. So they came over and like
took a tour of the house of anything that's like
needs to be patched up, and there's really nothing, like
the house was great and good shape, and they were
really nice and lovely, and then they were like I said, like,
but I'm staying for the month of August so that
I can move. Take that, you know, And I really
want to get Natalia, like going to Santa Barbara and
getting her. I don't want her to move into the
new house and then go and move her into Santa
Barbara and she's going like August twenty second, so I
want to move, like officially move, like right after she moves,
so I'm trying to time that. But now the tenants
are like, can we have people come by looking at
the house and maybe you could.
Speaker 1: Leave a little earlier in August. And I was like,
oh yeah. I was like, uh, all right, well I'll try.
What did they have somebody new to come in there? No,
not yet. No, you just want it empty.
Speaker 2: They want it they want to be able to show it.
I guess, and then maybe have time to fix up.
I'll paint a little bit and then have people move in.
And they're thinking, like September is a tough time to
get a rental, but like in our area. I told them,
I said, you're not going to have a problem renting
this house. It's going to get snatched up quick. And
they're like, yeah, we're just you were so good, like
you know, you don't have little kids banging the walls
and stuff.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, well so long.
Speaker 3: That's so interesting that they want with twins. They want
to live with in laws.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want the help, they need help. I guess
you know they didn't have an olga.
Speaker 1: I mean, couldn't they just get an olga? No?
Speaker 2: I guess they're very happy just living. Yeah, well it's
probably free.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get the hands on help, yeah, grandparents. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So but oh my god, that's a lot with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I know in my non drinking program, we say
just like next indicated action, like just do the next thing.
Try not to let your brain get like, oh my god,
I have a hundred things that I'm going to have
to get done. Yeah, just go okay, what's next? Right,
file this paperwork, what's done, what's the next thing? Get
this started? Then then yeah, what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I'm trying to do, like one room
at a time, one kitchen at a time, like thinning
things out, getting rid of stuff. I've been going through
all these boxes in the garage that we just packed
up and like in a hurry and like moved, and
it's like do I need to keep this stuff? Do
I want to keep this stuff? Just continuously going through
all that. So that's what I'm trying to do right now,
you know. And then also think about the construction that
I got to line up the av guy, I got
to get the electrician guy, I got to get the
you know what I mean, like when are they going
to come kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It's just going to be tough. So it'll be fine.
Speaker 3: Though, electrician, like because of your building another room or
just in general, why do you need an electrician.
Speaker 1: For the for the bathroom? Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then for construction, Yeah, for the construction stuff,
and then you need the guide for the TVs and
the Wi Fi and all that. They're like got to
figure out when when are we going to be actually
living there? When should they come? You know, just trying
to figure out. And then also you know, again with
Sonny and Italia moving in the kind of moving in
the middle of it. I mean, Sonny's going later in September,
so he'll be at the new house for a little while.
But then you know, so I'm trying to get her.
She's going to be another big job.
Speaker 3: Does she need a lot of stuff? Like do they
aren't going to fully move back in with you when
they're done with college. I don't know, but you're going
to You're you're behaving as if they will.
Speaker 1: So they need their full rooms.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean they are going to live with me
full time, you know, or whenever. I mean, that's going
to be their home spot. So that's why I got
to put in another bathroom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they won't. They don't have like a room
at Adam's new house.
Speaker 2: That I don't know. I have no idea. I don't
know what's going on over there. It's under construction as
far as I know.
Speaker 1: Oh it still is. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So that so they haven't said, hey, we're going to
have our own rooms. No.
Speaker 2: No, I mean they say like, yeah, maybe we can
stay at Dad sometimes, you know, if we want to
be out in that area where our friends are and
we just want to spend the night out there, they'll
have his house. But I don't know when it's ready
or I don't know if anything of fish. I have
no idea write what's going on. So I just that
my house is their home base.
Speaker 3: Now are you excited a little bit?
Speaker 2: I am excited. I'm excited. It's just I just want
to get situated and get in there. You know, Suzanne's
been living there now for a few months and she
called me she had a little bit of a breakdown.
Speaker 1: Oh no.
Speaker 2: Well, also the house that they bought, they bought a
house they moved in like a month ago. The plumbing
went haywire and they had to move out into an
airbnb because they couldn't use running water.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, what, she's been through a lot.
Speaker 2: And then they went to the airbnb for like a
night and electricity went out, just went out. Electricity went
out like an our neighbor just over there, like just
went out.
Speaker 1: And then they were like what.
Speaker 2: Then they went back to their house that's under construction,
but they don't have running wire, running water, so they
were only there for a couple hours and then they
had to go back and.
Speaker 1: Then the lights came back on, so and then they
went back.
Speaker 2: But anyway, she was like, it's just an adjustment because
she's like, you know, we've lived she's lived in the
valley her whole life, and then she's lived out in
the city with her boyfriend last couple of years, you know,
like by the Century City Mall and there's tons of things,
there's restaurants and stuff. And then she's like, it's just
different in Valencia, and she's like, it's just an adjustment.
And she's like, so I was kind of having like
this meltdown. And also they were also seeing her husband,
her boyfriend's children. Adult children were coming over all the
time for dinners throughout the week, and now they don't
come because they're all living other places. And also they
lived way far away now, right, so they have Gracie,
her daughter, that's there for the summer. Yeah, so it's
kind of an adjustment.
Speaker 3: It will be one. I mean moving is just hard
in general.
Speaker 2: Just being in a new you know, a new city,
a new area, a new town. Like you have, I
have all my places to go, you know, my traders, you.
Speaker 3: Already know what you I mean, you lived, you moved
into the same.
Speaker 2: Neighborhood based yeah right, yeah, yeah, I'm in the same neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I have all my stuff.
Speaker 2: Plus I get Pasadena that's close by, you know if
I need a mall.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, it's hard.
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons why I don't want to move,
just because I'm like, you know what my trader Joe's
is like, yeah, that's why we converted the garage rather
than moving, because I was like, we're if we moved
at that time, it would be a parallel, but we're
we would need we needed bedrooms because remember Sadie and
Xander were sharing a room still right up until I
was like, these kids are not star in high school,
like without their own room, right, that's crazy. So we
got them their own room in middle school. I mean
they were started middle school right now, Remember our bedroom.
I mean they were fine because they shared a room
since they were little. I think I told you they
almost didn't want to split up. They were almost a
little bit bummed about it. It's like, trust me, you're
going to be happy. You just need your own space.
Like that's crazy. But I mean when we were looking,
we were like, Okay, we could move into like deep
Woodland Hills, but really we'd have to go to like
West Hills and we're going.
Speaker 1: To put a lot.
Speaker 3: It's going to be very expensive, and it's going to
be kind of a lateral move. We might get one
more bedroom, but we're going to be really far for that.
But converting our garage was actually relatively inexpensive added value
to our house, and I was like, the bonus is
we don't.
Speaker 1: Have to move.
Speaker 3: Yes, everything stays the same. I go to the same
trader Joe's, I go to my same gym, I go
to Yeah, see Creature of Habits. I know I'm going
to miss all the stuff I go to. But but
you're then be in a pretty populated area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like right, Yeah, I mean there's a
lot of it's still like way out there.
Speaker 1: No, there's you know, they got the Trader Joe's there.
Speaker 3: There's a really good sushi restaurant kind of near you. Okay,
tell you, Okay, there's yeah that you're going to find
your like coffee place, and you're and.
Speaker 2: Also like Don's lived there for so long, like she's
right there and that Susan like we're all going to
be close by each other. So that'll be nice. Yeah,
that's why I'm doing it. Really, You're going to be
so happy. You're going to just be able to like
five minutes away from your friends. Yeah, no traffic right
out there, except just traffic when you're trying to go anywhere. Right,
but where are you going, i know, well to work
once a week. Yeah, it's not that far from here.
Oh yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's really not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just the five has a lot of con struction.
But anyway, so Karen Reid, there's just a lot of stuff.
I mean, I used to like there. So basically, Aiden
Carney filed for an anti slap lot, so he's trying
to get his motions. That's turtle Boy. Okay, So Turtle
Boy is trying to get his motion dismissed. The the
the lawsuit of uh, what do you call it? A
witness intimidation based on the anti slap law. But the
problem is he has the same judge that is also
with Karen Reid. And this judge now has a bad
taste in his mouth because he thinks that Turtle Boy
leaked that I told you.
Speaker 1: About this last week.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and they proved it and and Karen Reid's
lawyer went to the court and showed to the court
this is the the judge was wrong. But the judge
is kind of like a boomer and old. He's just like, okay, whatever.
So it's kind of it's not good for him. It's
not good for him because he's got this this judge
that already has a bad taste in his mouth. So anyway,
they went through the anti slap motion. But I watched
Melanie Little's stream and she is really good and she
breaks everything down like but the thing is is like
when you're when you're watching them promote the case, they
have to go through and show why they think that
these diffen that the Mcalberts are are, you know, the
real criminals in this case. So it's interesting interesting, P
see interesting for Sae about all the when they're doing
this lawsuit and she's and they're breaking down on her
stream or whatever, and they're in court they're showing like
it really shows to me, like, Wow, she really did
not do this, and they really went above and be
on to try and cover this up. And there's so
many other now corruption cases that are coming from this
Norfolk County district, uh, from all these other people that
have been put in jail, and now they're getting their
try their you know day in court. So I don't know,
I just I just found it. It's just it's it's ongoing.
We'll see if he gets the motion dismissed tomorrow. I
think he's got a court date and then Karen Reid
had a court date today to get her phone back
because they've had her phone forever.
Speaker 1: And it's just a lot going on. But uh, we'll
just see.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just Karen Reid's suing is just to
go to trial.
Speaker 2: That's I mean, it's there. They plan on taking it
to trial. Yeah, I mean, they they are not going
to stop.
Speaker 1: They they they're.
Speaker 2: Suing the district, they're suing the those the people in
the house. They're suing the cops, they're suing the DA.
You know, they're like top to by.
Speaker 1: You know. So but it's moving forward. It's moving forward.
Speaker 2: But they having all these like court dates like to
dismiss this or to do that, and every time they
do it, and Melanie Little streams it. It's so interesting
because per se, because.
Speaker 1: Because it just they.
Speaker 2: They have all these like other like all these other
all these other pieces of evidence that I really didn't
know like from the trial or the way they really
break it down, you know, like that Colin Albert really
was like in the house and they tried to cover
him up the fact that here's one thing I'll just say,
so Colin Albert was like seventeen years old and he
was he was the one that did that video like
bang bang pull up, fuckers, I'll fuck you up and
stuff like that. Okay, so he was in the house.
He already had issues with John O'Keefe before this, and
I think that he popped off and he had the
the bruises on his wrist, the scabs on his wrist.
Speaker 1: And so they tried to they're like trying to cover
it up.
Speaker 2: So his father Chris Albert joined the Selective Board that
the committee Selective Board Committee so that he and he
got on board like after it happened, so that he
could be in charge of what was going on in
the cops in the Canton Police Department and their investigations.
Oh wow, like really like you know what I mean
that just these kinds of things, it's really really interesting.
I mean, can't stay that anymore interesting. They need to
do a documentary, That's what I'm saying. They really do.
Somebody should be following them along right now, like yeah,
with a camera. And I think like Turtle Boy's been
saying that he is coming out with a documentary and
like an offer for a movie movie, you know, and
he's got like these production companies he's talking to. But
he's got to get through facing ninety years in jail. This,
He's got to get this like dismissed for witness intimidation
for these and it was like he everything that they
were showing on this anti slap he was doing like protesting,
like he was protesting outside.
Speaker 1: He had a bullhorn.
Speaker 2: He like, you know, a need like showed up to
Jennifer McCabe's soccer game and was like why did you google?
You know, so they're like, that's witness. But then you're
watching the video. She's like laughing and her husband's like
trying to like, you know, pick on Turtle Boy, like whoa,
you're so short? How tall are you? Like he's like
do they really seem intimidated?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: And then he has text messages that they were like
fucking with him. They it was just there's all these
things that show like they're not they're not intimidating, like, yeah,
that witness intimidation. Like he's saying it's freedom of speech,
First Amendment, you know, like Jennifer McCabe and the other
they went to the cops and was like, can we
get him to shut up? And the judge was like
denied it and said no because it's first Amendment. He
can say what he wants on his show, right, you know.
Speaker 3: So then why is this case going forward?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: I don't hopefully they're going to get it dismissed. I
guess that they're going to find out this week, but
you know it is, he's being prosecuted by the same
people that prosecuted Karen Reid, And I guess now the
district attorney is going to be done with his job
and now they're going to hire They're going to like
vote for somebody else to come in. And they've been
interviewing all these candidates and Adam Ditsch is one of
them that Turtle Boy's supporting and Karen Reid is supporting
because he's like, there's been like fishy shit and I
want to get to the bottom of it. I want
to get in there and I'm going to see what's
going I want to make it right with the police department,
you know, I want to have a better reputation for them.
And so we'll see. Yeah, that more stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you been watching any TV shows that are good?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you.
Speaker 2: I don't know how I found this series on Hulu.
I think it's on It's actually on like the ID

Speaker 3: Yeah, because I couldn't find it on Hulu. I think
I went on Amazon. Oh you found it, Okay, Okay,
what's it? I don't even know what it's called. Well,
i'd have to look back at our text messages. Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was just this one episode. It was just
one of these true crime shows, like every episode is different,
it's a different story and in some of the episodes,
the victim like lives and you're shocked, and then in
some episodes the victim is dead. And so this one
episode is called Fight Like a Mother. Yeah, and it
was it. I watched it before I went to bed

take her. They take over her, and they take her
car and then they drive around and then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bad stuff stuff happened, and they're basically like psychopaths.

Speaker 2: And then they go like kind of like yeah, I
mean they tried it, Like they're like, well, we can't
keep her around, we got to get rid of her.
And they try to kill her, and then they go off,
and then they go on another killing spree. Kill some
other guy, remember the guy at the junkyard, kill him
for I don't know, because there were no reason. They
were trying to steal parts for money, thinking she's dead
and she wasn't.
Speaker 1: Then they pick up.
Speaker 3: This hitchhiker just for fun. He's hitch hiking and they're like, yeah,

just but in the car. He's like, how did I

know how it goes and the Hitchhiker's like, yeah, it's
nervous laughter.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a really interesting episode. Yeah it was good.
Speaker 3: So I went on a little binge of I was like,
I have to find something because I like to listen
to podcasts at the gym. I was like, I got
to find something that I already know. I like that
I listen to again that I haven't heard in a while.
So I went and listened to Heaven's Gate podcast again. God,
it's so good. It's one of my facts. Such a
good podcast. It's like eight episodes or something like that.
And then I like to go into my like you
might also like this, And I found some other podcasts
that I've listened to not that long ago. But I
re listened to Sympathy Pains. Listen to that one now, phenomenal.
It's so good. Oh my god, you've got to listen
to Sympathy Pains.
Speaker 1: What's it about?
Speaker 3: It's about this woman, Hey, I write that down, who
is total like Munchausen's She's faking all these like does
she fakes a disability? She works at a camp where
I'm disabled. She goes to a camp and pretends that
she like can't walk, she's in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1: I saw this document I saw this. Oh it was
really there's a documentary on this one. I'm sure it was.
Oh my god. Yeah. The podcast is so good.
Speaker 3: Because she's kind of like a samand a lot of
she scams all these different people. So each episode is
they have a different person, like a different time of
her life when she was completely and her whole thing
is that she's constantly pretending that she's pregnant and that
then she either has a miscarriage she pretends or she
starts having saying that she had a baby and she's
sending people pictures of like a baby's and then saying
that like the baby died, and like she has these
people that she tells them, oh, you're the godmother of
the baby. She just takes advantage of all these people,
right right. It's so good a good scammer.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: And then so then after I listen to that, I
re listened to Scamanda Oh podcast.
Speaker 2: I recently rewatched that on Hulu.
Speaker 3: I mean it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: It is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I love the last scene where the
FBI shows up and surrounds our house and she's kind
of just like yeah, like very calm about it, like
I knew this was going to happen.
Speaker 3: Well. In the podcast, the guy was saying that the
police officer was saying that she was obviously been taking
a lot of xanax so that people be able to
lie easier because they don't.
Speaker 1: Care, right right, Wow, So.
Speaker 3: They found and he was like, sure enough, we found
all the xanax that she was on.
Speaker 1: I mean, how the hell she pulled that off?
Speaker 2: Was just insane, going to those hospitals taking pictures just this,
how do you do that?
Speaker 1: And how sick are you?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What is going on in your brain?
Speaker 3: I know? But the only thing that was a little
weird and kind of dumb was that she'd whatever it
was something whatever was going on with somebody else. She'd
be like, oh, yeah, I've got that too. So like
her her stepdaughter, who she called her bonus daughter, right, uh,
had cancer. So then right after that she was like,
oh my god, me too.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right.
Speaker 3: If somebody else had something wrong with them or whatever,
she'd be like, oh my god, same, yeah, same. The
thing that would happen whatever. It was like the cancer
would come back in some remote area and it would
have just happened to somebody else in their lives. Yeah,
and she'd be like, that's what happened to me, but
you know in her blogs and stuff. Yeah yeah, but
the I'm sorry, but the husband, Cody or Cory or whatever,
never went to jail for it.
Speaker 1: They never pressed charges against him. There's no there's no way.
He didn't know, no way, how do you not know?
Speaker 3: And the mom and the mom too, her mom was
like raising money. But then they realized that the mom
like somehow the mom well obviously never went to a
treatment with her if the mom didn't know about it,
but the mom was always trying to raise money and
didn't pay any money, like if because they were like,
well if she's Oh the mom was like going on
all these expensive vacations and stuff, and they're like, why
is she Scamanda having fundraisers right, begging the church for money,
but the mom's like not giving her any. But the
moms spending tens of thousands of dollars on didn't.
Speaker 1: She say she didn't talk to her mom during that
time or something.
Speaker 3: No, the mom was like all about it like, oh
my god, my poor daughter.
Speaker 1: Do you think so did her mom know? I think
the mom was in on it too. Yeah, yeah, she
was going on those vacations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, right, Yeah, yeah,
I mean didn't they say that she was? Amanda was
very like when she was younger. She was always like
a you know, like a pick me try, like you know,
just wanted to be like everybody else, like you know
kind of thing.
