Speaker 1: I made a discusion.
Speaker 2: Pay Sunny Sun on ahead a vision.
Speaker 1: Why it's nice? What's up? Everybody? Welcome to pat No,
welcome to for kind of loud. We just recorded a
Patreon welcome to the regular show. Yes it was. It
was a funny Patreon. You guys got to check it out. Yeah.
I told a little story that here's a little story
about uh, about somebody that you'll you'll totally understand why
it's a patreon. Yeah, it's funny. Yeah, But I have
another story that I feel like doesn't have to be
a Patreon because like, fuck this bitch. But I can't wait.
Classic Stephanie's stories. Here we come and nothing really happened,
but it's just like you will totally understand. Okay. First
of all, I though, I want to give an update.
So last week, last Monday, I can't believe this was
only a week ago. Yeah, I was deep in my
GLP one journey, right right, Yeah, you're like five days
in or something. Yeah, And I was complaining, right because
I said I did. I felt kind of off and
I couldn't eat at all.
Speaker 2: But when I left you last week, we were walking
out to the car and you were like, oh yeah,
pizza does sound good, right, Okay, Then that didn't.
Speaker 1: Last I was still it's still I would say, yes.
That was Monday, probably at least until Wednesday, I was
still like I really don't feel like I can eat wow.
But by Thursday I was feeling better. So I had
done the shot Thursday night. Okay. By Thursday, I was
definitely feeling better, but I was also like, I don't
know if I'm going to do it again, right. I
have been getting DM after DM after DM of people
that want this lady, right, Okay. So I should also say,
in my own defense, this is always so meta because
it's like I say something on the show, then there's
feedback on Facebook group that makes me feel bad. You know.
So the first time I talked about wanting to try
a GLP one and said, listen, I know I'm not
like heavy, right, and that's why I don't think a
doctor would give it to me. I was very clear
on that. I was clear on the fact that my
brain had been messed with by seeing so many ads
from people that are not overweight, but that are like
I just had a few pounds to lose, but I
couldn't do it because of menopause because my body's changed
and this is the first thing that helped me shed
those last pounds. Also, no sugar cravings, no whatever. So
I was lulled into like, this is great. I should
be doing this too, Why not me? Right when I
brought it up on the show, I brought it up
with tremendous trepidation of like, are you guys gonna judge
me for even wanting to do this? Like yeah, but
everybody was like, absolutely, you should do it. Knowing that
I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, people
were like, I think you should. It's changed my life.
I think it's great, right, that's right. Yeah, yeah, And
I got inspired and I was like, well, you know what,
I'm gonna try it and I will report back. So
then I try it. I don't have like the greatest reaction,
but I wasn't like dying. I wasn't I wasn't like
super sick or yeah, like throwing up. I didn't have
a crazy reaction. I just felt like it was strong
for you your body. Yeah. Well, after that show came out,
there was like a whole thing of people that are
that were like yeah, you know, basically kind of like
you shouldn't have done that. You know, it's not good
for you. It's not studied, and like, I mean a
lot of like schooling me. Right, oh, and then you're
just getting it from a friend, like with no prescription.
It's like I feel that people were all raw raw,
and like, let's get on that before. As soon as
I have one like negative thing to say, people are like, well,
told you, so you should have done it. And it's like, no,
you didn't tell me, so absolutely nobody waih in like
maybe you shouldn't do this, or here's something to look
out for nobody, absolutely nobody.
Speaker 2: Right, So I was like you to do it what
you felt is you know the best for yourself.
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is not a medical show.
I don't know if you know this, but yes, did
I graduate medical school? Yes? Did I do an internship
and then a fellowship and then a few years at
a hospital. Yes?
Speaker 2: Does that make me able to give libert in between
law school?
Speaker 1: I don't have a PhD or whatever you know you
should have. Yeah? Okay, yeah, so like, please don't come
to me for medical advice. All I'm doing is now
I sound really defensive, but my whole goal was just
to be like transparent, yeah, which I think most people
appreciate no matter what from all the people that were like,
forget the haters, give me the number. Yeah. So anyway,
I was like, you know, I don't know if I
really like that feeling, and I don't think, you know,
I want to feel that right, So maybe I won't
do it again, and if I do, I'm going to
do it at just half the dose. Okay.
Speaker 2: So come Friday, I'm like totally back to normal really,
which is not great because I'm like, well, wait a minute,
what do you mean back to normal like eating cravating
by Friday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not like, oh my god, I want
to go eat a huge bag of candy, but like, oh,
I totally feel so fine. Okay. So I'm like I'm
still gonna wait. I think if I do it, I'm
going to do it on Sunday. Did you still have
those sugar cravings? No? Not really. I was like, I
really like how I feel right now, which is I
still don't want to eat everything in sight. I want
to eat when I'm hungry, but hunger pings came back, okay, good.
You know, Like I went to the gym and then
a couple hours later, I was like starving, right, which
is normal. Yeah, that's good, and I wasn't really having cravings.
So then by Saturday I was like, well, I like
how I feel right now, so maybe I should do
another shot, just a small amount to keep that going
right right, Yeah, So I did. Okay, So Saturday night
I did another shot, but I did one milligram ofpatite. Yeah,
and I can report that it's like great, really, yeah,
I'm not hungry, but like I could eat. You can't eat? Yeah,
like I could eat? Okay, like if you if you
hose gotta eat, hose got to eat, that's what they
should call it. Yeah, I just got to eat, you
know how could eat? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Eat?
Speaker 1: You eat? No, I just feel like I feel like
I'm hungry like normal, but I a'm full faster and
I don't. I'm not craving meals. That's good. I'm not
like thinking right now about like what's my next meal.
Like I still feel I had a bowl of cereal
for breakfast and I still feel like full, not uncomfortably full,
but like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're good and then until you'll go home and
eat dinner and you'll be fine, totally fine, that's great,
and no sugar cravings none.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Have you lost any weight yet?
Mm hmm. Really I've lost like three pounds really yeah? Wow? Okay, yeah,
maybe a little bit more. But I don't know how
much of that is just from the week of the
medication and how much is from because I already didn't
eat sugar, yeah, since October third. Okay, so you're you're
like on week two and a.
Speaker 2: Half on the shots.
Speaker 1: No one and a half one and a half yeah, okay,
well yeah, yeah, you know, no, no one and a
half because Thursday to Thursday, then I did it again
Saturday night and now it's Monday.
Speaker 2: Okay, so like a week and a half. So maybe
this is your dose and maybe this will work for you.
It sounds like even this dose, I wouldn't stay on.
Speaker 1: Like if I could shed a few of my postmenopause
pounds and feel fine, I think I can not eat
sugar on my own.
Speaker 2: So you would stop in the past, Yeah, like I'm not. Yeah,
I don't think I need it. Okay, that's awesome. Now
I want to try it.
Speaker 1: No, now I'm going to be like the Facebook group. No,
you are skinny?
Speaker 2: Now I have extra pounds on me, you know, menopausal
extra weight.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I could. Although hard for
us women, it's so hard to find that balance between
like listen, we all want to like love our bodies
and accept you know, aging gracefully. There are so many
messages out there though, telling right that like, look how
easy it is and you can you know, anybody can
do it now and blah blah blah. Yeah, well I'm
I'm happy that you stuck on it and I think
you're gonna do good. I'm like doctor knock around you.
All these people were like you've got to call your
doctor and like the truth is, I'm not gonna write,
I'm just telling you. You can all say that, and
I was like, yeah, I will. I think I responded
to some people. I will definitely tell him, No, these
are gps. They're not as opposed to gpl ones or whatever, right,
they're not. This isn't like if you're very overweight and
it would be very good for your health. Of course
they're going to like say like, yeah, you should be
on it. I don't think doctor Knacharand is going to
be like great idea, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so you figured it out on your own
with your medical license, and you know, you're very honest,
and that's all that people care about is honesty, really
like being transparent, and you know people are going to
say things, they're going to say things, but for the
most part, people respect honesty. And that's you know, that's
what you did.
Speaker 1: Do you think that I'm being irresponsible. I'm not telling
anybody else to do it except when we do ads
for it. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You're just telling your your story and how you've reacted
to it and your beliefs on why you want it,
and you know, that's that's all that we can ask.
Speaker 1: And you did. Yeah, And I think that the dose
that I took, even though it was lower than the
normal starting dose, was just like a little bit too
strong because this dose, which is just a baby dose,
it's basically microdosing. Yeah, if you look it up and
you google it, it says there's no that this dose
doesn't help really anything, but it helped me. Starting dose
is two point five. Everything I've read says that you
take that it's not supposed to have any like efficacy
until you're like a month in, and then you're on
a high enough dose to work, but you worked too well, right, right,
so you dropped it down. That's how you remember it.
Speaker 2: You go to too well, say that's your meta degree showing.
Speaker 1: Cool advice, and like I am, I am qualified to
tell you that too stands for too well to remember.
Speaker 2: That right too well? Well, that's great, that's good. I
was wondering about you. I was thinking about you.
Speaker 1: I think like people wanted yea, they like the update. Yeah,
I like the I like the update too.
Speaker 2: I was going to text you, but then I got
swept into going on this river trip with my friends
tell me about it, so I was put We planned
this like months ago to go back to Glenn's riverhouse
in Lake have Asu.
Speaker 1: And uh it was it's dawn.
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be Glenn, Mike Don, Glenn's wife Brandy, Don, me,
our other friend Craig, and you know, just us going
to the house again that weekend before it gets cold.
Speaker 1: We was Craig the one though that No, that's not.
Speaker 2: Mark, Okay, I called him, no, no, no, none of.
Speaker 1: Us talked to him.
Speaker 2: Craig was the drummer of a band when we were younger,
and he's just the sweetest guy ever. Okay, So it
was just us. And then last week Phil tweaked his back.
Speaker 1: I went to Florida.
Speaker 2: Olgas stayed with him for a week and I was like,
there's no way I can leave him again for the weekend,
you know, and Olga just was with him, so I
can ask her again. Then Dawn at the same time,
was like, she had an audit at her she owns
a cemetery in Palmdale, and she had an audit and
she had a meeting with the guy from the audit whatever,
and she was like she couldn't go. And I think
part of the reason why she couldn't go is because
I wasn't going. But anyway, then they all left on Thursday.
And last time we went, we drove up together. This time,
Glenn has a air he has his own business with
airplane parts whatever, so he gets these jets, these private jets.
So he's like, we're going to fly up on Thursday
and fly home on Sunday. Wow, yeah, instead of drive
and so anyway, so they left on Thursday. Then they
got there and then like Craig found out that we
weren't going, and he was like, wait a minute, I
just found out you guys aren't coming. What the fuck
why am I going? And he's like, I miss you guys.
I wanted to see you guys. And they were making
me feel guilty and I was like, you know what,
let me just ask Olga. So I asked Olga and
she's like, sure, I could be there, and I go,
if I leave on Friday and come home, we're going
to fly back on Sunday. So if Don and I
rent a car, fly up on our drive up on Friday,
leave the car there and fly home with them, I'll
be home on Sunday by like one point thirty two
o'clock because we're leaving early. And she's like, yeah, no problem.
On Lineta. She shouldn't talk like that. So I was
like okay. Then Don was able to figure out her business.
We rented a car, but we couldn't leave until she
was done. We didn't leave on Friday until like one thirty.
It took us five hours to drive up there. Oh
my god, five fucking hours on Friday. Made them come
take the plane, I know, come pick us up. Yeah no,
not going to do that. But so, but we had
a good road trip. You know, it was fun like
the old days. You know, talked a lot and then
listened to music and stuff and then talk some more
and you know, sat in traffic and but then when
we got there, it was so worth it. It made
my whole night because we got there and was like dark.
So I called Glenn. I'm like, we're here, but I
can't see your house. So he's like, I'm coming out.
So him, all the guys came out to greeta. They
were like, yay, you're here. I was like so happy
because these guys I've known for like forty years since
i was a kid, you know, since I was in
junior high. They're like my brothers, you know. And so
and then Brandy his wife. Glenn and Brandy are like
the best couple. Like they they are so great entertainers.
They cooked breakfast, Glenn made this big dinner. Then Glenn's
friends with the band Warrant and Warrant was playing at
the casino out there on Saturday night. Oh wow, yeah,
so he invited those guys over for Friday night. When
we got there, he made barbecue steaks and chicken.
Speaker 1: It was delicious, so good.
Speaker 2: And then Saturday we went.
Speaker 1: Uh he invited the Warrant guys. Yeah yeah, because they
were in town and these friends were you on Friday night? Yeah,
after we got there, out with the guys from War Yeah,
two of them. What yeah, super sweet, super buried the
lead on this whole story. I know, I know, I know.
I mean they were a huge band.
Speaker 2: They were, and Don and I were listening to some
of their music on the way.
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, I should play him. Heaven isn't too far away.
Speaker 2: They sing that song, they sing She's My Cherrybye, oh
my God. Yeah, because their original singer died a long
time ago, so they have the new one.
Speaker 1: Okay, but he's good. He was good. Yeah, they were great.
They were so much fun.
Speaker 2: They played outdoors at the casino out there, and then
so we went to the show on Saturday night, which
was fun.
Speaker 1: We all sat outside, watched Warrant play.
Speaker 2: Took a picture with the band backstage, and then we
went to the casino after and I didn't want to gamble.
Some of them were gambling, and of course Dawn, who's
the big gambler. She just sat at the poker video
poker and she won like four grand.
Speaker 1: She stayed.
Speaker 2: We all left and it's a twenty minute drive from
the casino back to Glen's house. And she stayed and
took an uber back to Glenn's house, and Glenn and
I waited up for her till like one o'clock in
the morning her to come back because she just she
couldn't leave because she was on a winning streak, so
she won all that money. And then we went on
the boat the next day and we were, you know,
driving around the lake and it was so fun. It
was really nice. I'm so glad we went. It was
a lot of fun. And then it came time to
fly home, and this jet was really small, like kind
of teeny tiny, but the two pilots are like X
Air Force military pilots that are very you know, experienced,
and Glenn's like, I'm not going to put our lives
in danger, so I wasn't nervous.
Speaker 1: But then there's Down who's like, I'm getting freaked out.
Speaker 2: Then I have to get on this plane, and she's
like freaking out, and then Glenn's like feeding into it,
like we're gonna do barrel rolls.
Speaker 1: Down She's like, a shut up, don't say that.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm gonna tell the pilot and to do
some barrel rolls. Obviously he's joking, but She's like stuck,
you know. And so Brandy, Glen's wife, was like, knock
it off. We're not going to talk about it. Don't
tease her. We're getting on the plane. Don't bring it
up once we get on the plane. And Don had
to listen to Brandy so she couldn't bring it up anymore,
and she was fine.
Speaker 1: It was a smooth ride.
Speaker 2: We were home in forty five minutes to the airport
and ban Eyes and I was back home at like
one point thirty two o'clock yesterday.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, so it was really nice. We had
a great time. Did the guys from weren't Gamble with you? Guys?
We didn't see them after the show, but one of
them liked me. He did. Yeah. Was he cute at all? Yeah?
He was cute.
Speaker 2: He's cute Italian cute, but he lives like in Tamecia.
Speaker 1: I don't know. He was far and I don't know,
kind of perfect long distance. Yeah, like X Rocker. Was
he in the original lineup? I think so?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he was, and I you know, I
mean you see him on stage then he's even cuter.
Yeah yeah, but now then not really my type. Oh yeah,
but it was funny. You know, it was nice. I
mean it was flattering, but yeah, so uh.
Speaker 1: I kind of love that for you though I'm not
saying like, if he's not your type, I trust you.
But yeah, that is so flattering. Yes, it is flattering.
Speaker 2: This fucking Warrant, I know, I know, I know, you
forget so many songs that they have that you you remember, dude, Yeah,
they were.
Speaker 1: They were big when I was in high school. They
were like the biggest thing. Yeah, Warrant Rat Yeah yeah, yeah,
And that's so funny that you just mentioned Rat because
John is good friends with Now you're gonna make me
Stephen Piercy. No, Stephen Pearcy is the was the main guy.
But there's another Bobby Blotzer. Nope, Oh my god. Now
I'm gonna have to look it up, but I don't
want to, like pause this hold on members. That's the
only names I know I'll tell you of Rapped, and
John's good friends with one of them. Yeah, yeah, they're friends.
That's so funny. Uh my god, why is it not
coming up? Well, yeah, it's a friend of John's and
they were working on a possible podcast together and I've
met him many times. He's really really nice, but it's
weird that it's not really coming up. Well.
Speaker 2: The guys and Warrant were really sweet, very nice, funny,
fun to hang out with. They kicked ass on stage,
They sounded really great. It was outdoors venue, it was
so it was you know because we used to listen
to that when we were kids. So it just brought
back memories for us. And it's just so fun when
you see your old school friends together, you know, because
we never get to hang out. Everybody's got families, kids, marriage, whatever,
so when we get together a couple times a year,
it's fun. So it was I'm glad we did. It
would an adventure, Yeah, it was an adventure all right.
Speaker 1: I wish, like I could go with you guys sometime.
Then I was. Then it just made me think though
because I was going to go, Oh, I wish I
could go sometime. And then I was thinking that I
had I had a little adventure. So my friend, my
friend Bonnie Bonnie McFarlane, yeah, comedian was in town for
a couple of days, and so we were going to
get together and go to dinner, which we did, and
then I mean, she's like one of my very closest friends.
I talked to her on the phone probably like three
times a week, and she doesn't live out here, no,
So we were best friends in our twenties. We met
doing stand up and we decided that we were going
to be screenwriters together. I wrote a screenplay. So we
were new friends and we had that kind of friendship
chemistry where we were just like hung out all the time.
We went to open mic nights or just like comedy
nights together, did shows. And then we were like, we
should write a screenplay. Two girls writing a screenplay. So
we immediately started just hanging out in like bars and
writing a screenplay. And then we wrote a screenplay that
we'd never written one before. And then we got all
these meetings and we thought we were going to be
I legitimately thought I was going to be a millionaire. Yeah,
those people were getting deals and yeah back then, yeah,
agent sent the script out and it was so back then,
the way they did it was so different than how
it is now. It was you might remember this even
just from working in TV, but there was a day
of the week. It was on a Tuesday. A lot
of things dropped on a Tuesday, so like records came
out on Tuesdays, So scripts went to went out from
agencies received scripts on Tuesdays, and then they know the
agencies send them to the studios and they all get
them like on a Tuesday, right, and then they're like
in competition with each other. So we sent out that
our agents sent out the script on a Tuesday. By
like Wednesday, we had like forty meetings set up. Wow,
I mean, so I should like forget thinking we were
going to get We were like and it was oh
my god. Out of sid Ganis's company, all these really
big companies that did big movies, you know, all the
big studios, but then also these like this one called
like Alphaville. Right. So our agent was like, sid Ganis's
company wants to do a preemptive like they want to
do a development deal with you guys, but they want
to take it off the market, like they want to yeah,
And we were like, no thanks, we're just getting started,
like yeah, because you'd we back in those days, you
would hear about people that would get deals from oh, yeah,
five hundred against five hundred, which means you get paid
five hundred and then if they make the movie, you
get another five hundred thousand, right, million against a million.
They were.
Speaker 2: They were given out development deals. When I was at
TV and ABC to left and right, people are getting
development deals to create their own TV show. Yeah, a
lot of comedians deals, usually.
Speaker 1: The Montreal coming back with development.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a big time. I mean even Carmen
Electra got it in a development deal. Never went anywhere.
But like so many people were getting development deals, it
doesn't work like that anymore.
Speaker 1: No, I was sort of I came up a little
bit on the tail end of that, like when I
went I did Montreal Comedy Festival, the New Faces, which
is where they find all the people for these development deals.
Now I'd already been doing stand up like ten years,
so I was so nervous. Another one of those things
where I was like, oh my god, I'm on the
cusp of greatness, Like this is everything I've been working for.
You know, they've never taken me to Montreal before. I've
never been asked. I'm finally being asked. Like it's all
riding on this, I'm going to be super famous. I
write so many things in my life where I was like,
well about to be hugely famous, look at world, and
you know what, I'm happier with the way things worked out,
because I just don't know how being super famous would
possibly be a good thing for me. It wouldn't. But
when I went to Montreal, I was so nervous and
it was a lot of so new faces can mean
a lot of things. It can mean people who have
literally never been on a big stage before and only
done like coffeehouses. Or I could mean people like me
who'd done a lot of stand up but just had
never been like discovered. Yeah, so I went up. You
get two sets. The shows go like Thursday, Friday, Saturday night,
and each comedian gets two different sets on two different nights.
So I was up like Friday and Saturday night. Uh huh,
So I do my sets Thursday night comedians go up.
Everybody bombed. So I was very nervous. But my night
I had a great set. I kind of killed, and
then my next set I kind of killed and like
not literally nothing happened really, And when I kind of
followed up on it, my agent was like, Yeah, the
people already knew who you were, and the guy who
booked you only booked you because he had so many
real life new faces that he needed somebody that would
do well.
Speaker 2: Oh, interesting. That's kind of a backhanded comp.
Speaker 1: Such a backhand yes, wow. Because I was so relieved,
because you know how nervous I get. I was so
petrified about it that, I mean, I was sick with
nerves about it. And then I was so relieved that
it went well that you know, once you do that,
you're like, well, okay, here come the offers, right, And
then I was like, really, all that for such a
tough business, so entertain in Canada, Yeah, such a tough business.
So we have all these meetings for this screenplay, and
meeting after meeting people are blowing smoke up our ass.
Oh my god, this was like this, this is a
modern day working girl movie. Our movie was called Falling Up.
Originally we called it the untitled don Knots Project, just
to be funny, that is funny, and then we called
it Falling Up. And it was about this girl who
is like a Janine Garoffalo type. Because this was many
many years ago, she was kind of a big thing.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 1: So this girl had kind of like a bad attitude
and just and has this friend who's really rich, and
the friend's dad runs an advertising agency or has a
friend that does I don't remember the details of it,
but basically, she accidentally becomes like really big in advertising,
gets like a really low level job, but she is
desperate for a job, and then she does. She accidentally
is good at advertising. Yeah, and then she falls in
love and then you know it's a it's but the
movie was ahead of its time. I had like a
scene where she the girl's really nervous and then the
night before her first day of work and then she
closes her eyes and then turns off the light and
then you just hear the buzz of a vibrator. That's funny,
and it was before it's time. Yeah, we were like,
oh my god, that's pretty razy out and yeah, people
freaking loved it. They, like I said, we'd have meetings.
They'd be like, oh my god, you guys are amazing.
You're like the next big thing. But we think this
movie is a little bit too small. What else do
you got? So we had an idea for a more
high concept movie and then we would pitch that. Anyway,
long story short, I had just started dating John not
that long before, and I was really scared that like
I was going to get just too rich and be
intimidating and nothing ever happened. Oh that, But Bonnie and
I stayed friends, been friends forever. She got married to
Rich voss Y Adian, moved to New Jersey, her daughter
had a baby right around the same time that I
had my kids who just started college this year. Oh wow.
And she still does stand up. Oh she does. So
we're still friends. Yeah, So we see each other when
she's like in La Yeah, and like it hasn't been
that often. So anyway, the whole reason I'm telling you, well, okay,
so I went to the comedy store with her, and
it was just very funny to.
Speaker 2: Be hell, that's a that's a fun thing to do.
Like it was venture fun.
Speaker 1: But like I used to do the comedy store all
the time, right in my twenties, right, and now I'm
like in my late fifties. So it's just so weird,
you know. Yeah. Yeah, to be in those spaces and
just like all those years later and have like the
weight staff going like, excuse me, do you have a
ticket to the show? I would have to ask you
to like move right right right, yeah. Yeah. But all
that was just to tell you that this other friend
of mine I was saying, oh, you know, I went
to the comedy store or whatever, and she was like,
I would have gone why didn't you do? Like you
should have called me? Like she was legitimately kind of
salty that I hadn't called her really, and you know
that feeling when somebody when you're like, well but but
why would like I hate it? Right, you're not really
friends with the good friends with my other Yeah? Yeah,
you know when people are like, wow, I can't believe
you didn't.
Speaker 2: Like yes, yes, well I would never say that to
anybody million years.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought of when I was like, I
would have gone to the rip, like you're not our
friend from high school? Okay, but thank you? Well you
had gone to the river with us next time. But
you know what I'm saying. When I was saying that,
I was trying to like, I don't really mean like,
why didn't you invite me? Why? Stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I get it. So any good acts at
the comedy store.
Speaker 1: So my podcast partner Cecily loves this comedian named Dak's Flame,
who I guess is very very subtle and she thinks
is doing like basically an inside joke. And I met
him backstage and I was like, oh my god, I
do a podcast my friend that I do a podcast with,
like Loves You, and he was very clearly autistic. Okay.
But and then I brought this news to Cecily and
she was like, well, maybe, but I still think he's
very in on the joke and I was like, well,
that could be, but when you have a conversation with him,
he's not. It's not like a wink wink where he's like, yeah,
I'm going to go out there and do a character, right,
Like his offbeat nature is what makes his yes act yes.
So it was kind of funny because I was trying
to tell her. I'm like, I don't think he's doing
a character. Yeah. She was like, no, I'm pretty sure
he is. And I was like, well, I literally just
talked to him for ten minutes and I tell you
unless he's but she thinks he's more of like an
Andy Kaufman type, Okay, let's see. Then I had a
conversation with Andrew Santino, Uh huh, who's kind of like
he does a podcast with Bobby Lee. Oh yeah, okay,
and he was super nice and we were talking about
how much we love Chili's because we were talking about
being like comedians that moved to the valley. Yeah, oh yeah,
and are like, you know, not cool right right? Yeah?
He was really sweet. Yeah. Oh I had a jump
scare because I saw poly Shore. Oh really you saw? Really?
He was there? Yeah, he looks eighty. Really the last
time you've seen Paul Show? I don't think I've seen
him recently. It's not good. I'm sure he's bald, right,
I think he was. He was wearing a hat, and
he was wearing like a green Adida's track suit kind
of thing, and he just looked like an old Miami jew.
Oh yeah, just had that like gray gray, like kind
of curly unruly hairs, like an old face. Yeah. I
was like, oh no, poor Polly, I know. But then
I was like, does that what I look like? But
you know, when you see somebody, because I think he's
younger than I am.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody ages differently. I could see that. I could
see that in him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe he's spent so many years in a dark
like smoky club club and he's still there. Huh, Show's
hunting the halls. Wow did he perform? I mean I
didn't see too many people perform because I kept getting
we I kept trying to watch people in the main room. Like,
let's see, when I got there, Dane Cook was performing.
Really yeah, it's the same people. Yeah. No, I didn't
see Polly perform. I don't even know if he on
the lineup. He might have just been hanging out.
Speaker 2: Hanging out. Wow, Oh that's pretty interesting. That sounds fun though.
I know I had a fun night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you did the Halloween Okay, so yeah,
I saved this story. This is how i'll because you
know we're heading into the final Yeah, okay, so I'm
at my So have we talked about the See, this
is where I get fucked up in the head because
we did Patriot right, and I told you a story
about something that happened at our fall fundraiser. Yeah, so
the fall fundraiser we've been gearing up for. And like,
by the way, please you guys help me make better
boundaries about like yeahing out right, because it's only as
they say, like twenty percent of the people do eighty
percent of the work. Yeah, but in this case, saidt
our school, it's like ten percent of the people do
ninety percent of the work, right, So you volunteered to work.
I mean I use the term volunteer very loosely. Yeah,
I say yes to one thing and then suddenly I'm
on every email, every event. Yeah. So yes, I was
the one completely in charge of getting all the silent
auction items. Oh yeah, and did that last year. I
did it last year and I did it again this year.
And then there's a lot of paperwork involved. And the
woman that I kind of was working with, who's amazing.
I name check her Nancy because I love her and
she's just the hardest worker and she's super helpful and
she never complains, which makes her less fun to complain too. Right, Yeah,
she doesn't ever go I know what the I know
those people yeah like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry you
fed love it.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Nancy, come on, tell me how you
really feel.
Speaker 1: She's super nice, yeah, and doesn't get rattled very easily.
It does so much work and is very good. But anyway,
and she's also a mom that I do speech judging with.
Oh yeah, she does a lot of stuff. Most of
the moms that I talk about in this group do everything.
It's just like where the rest of the people too
smart to say yes to stuff. Yes, so they're like
as needed, there's somehow I'm like, oh, I guess I'm
co chair of the fundraising committee. Okay, I know I
said I would, but then I tried to get out
of it, and then they were like, don't worry in
name only, and I'm like, this is not in name then,
So I was in charge of that. I don't want
to other people did help collect things, so I don't
want to say like, oh my god, I did every
single part of it myself. I didn't, So I'm I'm
in charge of it. I have to come in. I
had to come to the school. Well, I was supposed
to be there at nine am.
Speaker 2: So do you have to get those baskets and everything
and wrap them and all that too?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, did I tell you that? So I couldn't
find any baskets because I'd used all the ones from
last year, right that one of our listeners hooked me
up with some baskets last year. This year, I had
no baskets, so I had to go the route of
Facebook Marketplace. Yeah did I tell you that? No? Oh
my god, I've got all these messages going with these people.
There's a lot of bait and switch going on with
Facebook Marketplace, and I'm like, looking there's like a couple
of baskets here. Then there's like one person that has
like a ton of baskets. But you know it's like Pacoima, right,
like no thanks, yeah right, I don't like my school
that much. Yeah, but I do find one that's like
Granada Hills and she's got all these baskets and I
arrange to go get them from this lady. Yeah. And
you know, you show up in front of somebody's house
and then you're trying to message them through the app
and then they're like, oh, I'm sorry, that's my mom. Okay,
I'll call my mom and tell her that you're so
you're out front. It's all like ah, then I get it.
She comes and meets me. I have to go to
her back shed. I'm like I'm going to get murdered, right, Like,
don't take me in the shed? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Too many dateline documentaries now? But did shesting? My husband like,
what's the address.
Speaker 1: Where I am? You have too much dateline? And then
I told her that. I was like, you know, it's
always like a little sus when you're just going to
a random person's house. Says No, I totally get it.
And I was like and also like, why do you
have all these baskets? Because then she opens this shed
and it's just full of baskets. Really yeah, and she
was like, oh, well, because I do. I don't know.
She does something for her school or she sells something,
and I'm like okay, and then she's like, but I
should tell you the price, which was five dollars a basket,
which I thought I could bargain her down like two
for five. She's like that's five and up. Really minimum
is five. Now I'm like, oh god, itch, you already
got me, like, you know, six miles from my house.
Now you're gonna tell me, like, so, so, how much
are they at? Like Michael's They're a lot? Oh they are, okay,
I think I don't know, they're like ten bucks? Yeah, right,
so it's not like that biggest savings but definitely not
a savings. If she's going to be like, well, this
one's ten dollars, yeah, I'm like, well, I could just
go buy them, right, So then this is what happens.
I go, well, oh, I feel like I could just
go buy them new, and she goes, yeah, you can try,
oh you know, And now I'm like I'm already here. Yeah,
now are you going to do? Ready to get this
over right? But I'm like, oh, I really guess I
misunderstood because I thought they were all five dollars. She goes, No,
like a lot of these baskets are worth way more
than five dollars, way more. Some of these have like
a cloth lining in it. Oh you know. So now
I'm like haggling. I'm like, okay, well how much for
this one? She goes, I could do that one for eight?
Oh my gosh. So look I ended up buying some baskets.
She does. I'm like, could you do this one for five?
She's like, all right, I'll do that one for five.
I ended up buying fifty dollars worth of baskets. Okay, okay,
So I've done a lot of work leading up to this. Yes,
I gathered, I got all the items together. I bought
the shred stuff, and then my friend Sam, who I
talked about in the Patreon yeah, came and helped me.
I went to get all the baskets together. Then I
had to show up at school. I was supposed to
show up at nine am. And remember I've been on
zooms like every day every week leading up to this, Yeah,
and if I don't show up for a zoom, I
have to feel like guilty about it, right, like yeah, sorry, Okay.
So they wanted everyone to show up at nine, and
then I was laying in bed in the morning and
I'm like, I'm not going in there at nine, you know.
Speaker 2: And usually when they tell you that nobody else shows
up at nine, I don't. Yeah, I know, and it's like,
why am I the jackass that showed up at nine? Yeah,
that was the thing a lot of I hated that.
Speaker 1: With like a breakfast sandwich from Starbucks, eat my coffee,
and like no one's there, and you're outside the.
Speaker 2: Gate, going where is everybody? Even the organizer's not there
at nine? Yes, I hate that. Yes, So I stay
in bed.
Speaker 1: I wait at like nine forty five, you know, I
get an email with the other volunteers like okay, guys,
like you need to be heading over like no one's here,
oh god, oh my gosh. I get there at like
I don't know, Torsing spend all morning setting up, running around,
bringing out tables, going you know whatever. I was doing
like a ton of work. I was tired. So then
I'm like everything is set up and I was like,
you know what, the thing started at three, and I
was like it was like one, yeah, I'm like, I'm
going to bail. Really like twelve forty five, I was like,
I'm gonna go home. I'm going to go home and
I'm going to rest for a little while and I'm
going to change my clothes and then I'm gonna come
back with kids, which I did. I get there before three.
The place is already like there's no parking happ and
jammed people. So I go over to the place where
I to the where the auction items and the baskets are,
and there's like another mom who's volunteering, and I'm having
this thing where I'm like, I don't I don't know
if I know her. She looks familiar, but I don't
know her name, and I think I might be confusing
her with like a different mom from the school. But
I don't really want to say, like, what's your name
in case she's like, seriously, yeah, I've been on zooms
together like every week. So I was just like, I'm
Stephanie by the way, you know, And then she's like
I won't say her name, but she's like, yeah, I'm
Sally it was exactly as I thought. She's like, yeah,
we were on the zooms together. I'm like, totally. Sometimes
it's just a leak out of context, yes, you know,
and she's yeah, okay. So she's already established herself as
my op a tiny bit because she's annoyed annoyed that
I didn't know who she was. So then she starts
kind of arguing with me about the So we don't
call the baskets h raffles. I don't call it a raffle.
You call it an opportunity drawing. I don't really understand why.
It has something to do with California law, okay, something
about gambling, yea. And so they call it an opportunity
drawing and you drop your ticket half a ticket into
the box of the item you would like to win.
Then at the end they draw one of the tickets
out and that person wins. Okay, to silent auction where
you put down your name and how much you're willing
to spend, right, okay. So she's asking me some question
about the opportunity drawing, and then she's like, so everybody
gets a ticket for the opportunity drawing, right, correct? And
I'm like, no, you have to buy them. They're five
dollars each or five for twenty. And she's like, but
opportunity drawings, like are where everybody gets a chance. That's
why they call it that everybody has an opportunity. H
In my mind, I'm like, shut up, what do you
tell who cares rights talking to me? But I'm like,
well no. I was like, well, that's just what they
call it here because they can't say raffles, so it's
called opportunity drawing. And I swear to you. She's like
kind of giving me a yeah, but still like that's
what it's supposed to be called. And finally I was like,
I don't I don't know what it's supposed to be called.
I just know that not every everybody gets a ticket, right,
So yeah, don't hand everybody a ticket, because that's not
what this is. We have another thing that's a door
prize that everybody who brings a guest. I'm trying to
be nice. I'm like, man, maybe you're using it with
the thing where everybody that brings a guest gets a
ticket and then at the end they're going to draw.
She goes, no, no opportunity, and she's just arguing wow,
And then I was like, I don't know, I don't know,
but this is what we're doing. And then she was
like okay, oh, like she got mad. I had to
apologize and I was like, I'm sorry, I'm on a
new medication and right now I haven't eaten in five days.
Then we got along fine, and then I was just
joking around with her and like forgave me and that
you were being fine, but also I was still a
little bit salty, like why are you trying to argue
with me? You popped in here to work an hour
at this booth, yet while I've been here, I've been
working on this thing for months. Let it go. Yeah, okay,
but here's the thing that happened that I was teasing
to on the uh patreon. Yeah, so I'm dealing with
the story that is on the patreon right right, and
I'm walking this person around and in the patreon, I said,
And then there was a situation with my kids. Yes,
So I walk over to where they're like doing this
thing a mechanical bowl, and I see Sadie and Xander,
and Sadie looks stricken like she's looks very upset, looks
like maybe she was about She definitely looked like she
was about to cry. And so of course I'm like,
oh my god, Sadie, what's wrong. Are you okay? And
she was like yeah, she's like okay, She's like and
then Xander goes mom like kind of whispers me. He's
like that mom over there, and then he yelled at
Sadie like totally bitched her out for nothing what she
accused Sadie of bumping into her daughter and not apologizing. Wow,
So he's telling me this. I see the who they're
talking about out of the corner of my eye, and
then Sadie's like, Mom, don't say anything. Don't say anything,
like and but Sadie's upset, and she was like, mom,
I didn't touch her daughter. And if I did, of
course I would apologize, Like, oh my god, I didn't
touch him. And then so then.
Speaker 2: I'm looking and Sadie's like, don't look at her. Yeah,
and what do you do? You turn around and look
right out.
Speaker 1: So I looked right at that bitch, and I was like,
and she looked like a bitch. She looked like a bitch.
I hope she's listening. I hope somehow somebody might get
it that a mom at the school has this little podcast. Yeah,
because oh my god, she is so lucky. Old Stephanie
reared her ugly head and I was like, oh, hell
to the nor. First of all, Sadie's tiny, by the way, Yeah,
this mom is like with her. She just looks. I
can't explain how she looked. She was wearing like these
big oversized like kind of sunglas glasses. I hate, I
hate those other oversized sunglasses, big oversized sunglasses. I think
she definitely like considered herself glamorous. It was gm is
in like a quirky way, like the worst kind, right, glamorous,
then go all the way, have lip filler and do
all that right. Don't try to go halfway and then
be quirky. It'd be a redhead and like have like
kind of sparkly glasses. Like it ain't working right. She's
with her daughter and she's helping her daughter do something,
and then Sadie goes, mom, don't see anything because her
daughter was already She's like whispering to this. She's like, Mom,
her daughter was already so embarrassed by how the mom
was acting, it's gonna make it worse. The daughter do
it because of the daughter. And I was like okay,
but Xander, who's usually pretty calm about things, was like, Mom,
it was bad. Really, she's a bitch. And I was like,
so now I'm looking at her. Yeah, she sees me
looking at her and fucking has a problem. Oh, really
gives me like a what you looking at like? She
kind of gives me like like like, oh you see
something you staring at me? And then she gives me
she does a hand yester like get the fuck out
of here like that, And I was like, wow, okay, Wow,
I don't think you know who you're dealing with. First
of all. First of all, I do a lot for
this fucking school.
Speaker 2: Well that's the first and foremost. I don't think you
know why I was here exactly this morning setting up
and I've been working on this for a month. Yeah,
so you got a lot of fucking nerves you Yeah,
you barely even go here.
Speaker 1: You've just started at this. Yeah, you're ten minutes here.
I was so mad, and I was I was like,
you know what this is for the best. First of all, Also,
if you listen to the Patreon tomorrow, I was dealing
with another situation, so I also didn't quite have time
for it, but I would have made time for it,
you know what I'm saying. But Sadie's like, mom, just
don't and I'm like, okay, yeah, I walk away, and
then I'm dealing with this other situation.
Speaker 2: Which had nothing to do with you at all. The
other situation we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Nothing to do with me. So then I'm but I'm
but I'm trying to deal with something helping someone else,
helping someone else. And then I'm walking away and I
see the lady again, and she sees me, and she
gives me another look like I dare you. She gives
me a look, and I was like, okay, that's so tough.
I did some deep breathing. I was like, Okay, nothing
good can come of this, because I really did. I'm
not going to say I ate it to myself, but
I just was like, Sadie asked me not to say anything.
She doesn't need any drama. She's going to be performing soon.
She doesn't need there to be like because if I
say something, obviously this lady is off her rocker. Yeah,
then the lady's going to say something like obviously she's
looking for a fight. Yeah, and I don't want like,
and also you can come of it.
Speaker 2: Sadie has to go to school with this girl too, Yeah,
who was embarrassed?
Speaker 1: Peter. Sadie was like, I think that the daughter like
has something going on with her, like some kind of
special needs. OK. So like and also it's not the
daughter's fault. So why did the hell did the daughters
get hurt? Yeah? Exactly. I don't want to be involved
in like mom drama, right, so I just chose to
go like whatever, wow, And then she that woman left
a few minutes later. Good for you, Stephanie, and didn't
like seek me out. If she'd sought out a problem,
then I would have handled this right, but because she
would have handled her. But I'm like, I'm not going
to be the one after my daughter has asked me
not to. Yeah, crazy, I'm not gonna go walk up
to her and ask for trouble, right right? Well you
did the right thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, Jesus Christ, what is wrong with some of
these parents? Just like and then you're at a fucking
halloween you know, a fundraiser for the school.
Speaker 1: Why are you like talking shit to a kid? And
if you're a Newish parent at the school, like, why
don't make enemies some at a child, right, at a
student at the school where your daughter has just started attending, right,
and then mad Dog the mom of that daughter. It's
crazy behavior.
Speaker 2: It is crazy. Yeah, yeah, you did the right thing.
You don't want to fuck with that.
Speaker 1: The more I learn about people, though, the more I'm like,
there's a lot of crazy moms out right. Yeah. Yeah,
