Speaker 3: I get up and I go check on them, and
they're talking and I go, girls, good night, we got
to get up early. Go to the game, all right,
go back to bed. Sonny's asleep in the guest bed
on the guest which is a.
Speaker 4: Cross teeny tiny interjection which has nothing to do with this,
with that the phill part. But do you remember isn't
it odd to be the mom that's going girls when
don't you remember, like it was yesterday being at a
sleepover and the other person's mom would come in and go, guys, stop,
it's time to go to sleep, and you'd be like,
still doing it anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Suzanne had the loudest voice ever too, by the way,
she still does to this day. She talks so loud
her and Olga like, will you keep it down. My
Mom's gonna come over here and karate chap, you know,
if you don't shut up. So anyway, Uh, Sonny's asleep
in the guest on the guest bed, which is across
from me.
Speaker 1: So Phil that day, all right, I give him.
Speaker 3: I eat these ribs that I love, and I gave
him a rib bone, a beef It's a beef bone, okay.
Speaker 1: But then, and I forgot about this for some Olga
told me don't give him those bones anymore.
Speaker 3: They're not good, they they But I've always been told
that beef bones are especially he's an eighty pound lab
for God's sakes, like he's got the jaws of steel,
like you know, I don't know, so I just remember.
Speaker 4: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't remember when I gave it to him, But
when the incident happened, then that came flushing back into
my head.
Speaker 1: But so anyway, gave him that bone. And usually when
I give.
Speaker 3: Him a bone in the and this happened with Molly
as well, And like four o'clock, five o'clock in the morning,
dog starts barfing up the bone, you know, bits, and
it's sort of normal. Okay, so you hear that. I
don't know if have you ever heard Penelope throw up?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, you know they go h yeah, okay. So now
I'm in this new room. Okay, it's four o'clock in
the morning. Phil jumps down from the bed and he
starts doing that thing, and I go, oh shit, he's
throwing up. And usually Adam keeps a towel for Phil's
throw up, you know, by the bed. He's like, always
keep a towel by the bed for Phil. So of
course there's no towel by the bed for Phil. I
don't even know where the towels are. I barely know
where to get to the bag. I mean, there's like
I'm disoriented. So Phil throws up, I get toilet paper.
I see like shards of bone in his puke, and
I'm like, okay. So then Sonny's asleep, not paying attention,
and he starts doing it again. He does that, and
then then he starts to like like go like like
he can't breathe, like he's like that. And I remember
when Natalia start with choked. She when she choked on
that life saver at the nail salon, And I gave
her the him flick, as she said it, I gave
her the heimlick, and I remember the thinking flying out
and I remember though she couldn't. I remember, so that's
the only time I've ever seen somebody choke. And remember
she couldn't breathe, Like there was no noise anymore. It
was because they can't breathe. So when he was doing that,
it sounded like there was no I don't.
Speaker 4: Know that you gave a Natalia the him like maneuver.
Speaker 1: You didn't know that.
Speaker 3: No, I was so satisfying. Oh, and I yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Was that I've had to I've thought I had to
do it. And then of course I was like, oh
my god, what if it didn't work, Like I know,
you kind of know.
Speaker 3: You kind of know what to do, like I know,
I wasn't certified. So she was, Yeah, she was choking
on a life saver. I was sitting she was sitting
across from me at a nail salon, waiting to get
her nails done.
Speaker 1: She was like five, and I look over.
Speaker 3: At her and she's like, like, you know, her face
is turning red. And I go over and I'm like,
I yell help, like like and everybody's like whatever, And
I go over to her and I just do that.
Speaker 4: From behind her, get her in front of her.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I picked her up.
Speaker 3: I turned her around and I went to a vam
and I did give her gave her right up into
her you know, into her.
Speaker 1: Lungs like under the underneath the sternum right a swift
up and you know, swift in and up right.
Speaker 4: So and it worked the first time.
Speaker 3: The thing went flying out and and afterwards I thought
about it later on afterwards, I was thought, that was
a satisfying feeling to do that, To know I could.
Speaker 4: Do that, Oh my god. But I can't imagine I
would have had PTSD from the idea that it was like.
Speaker 3: I was like, hell, she's choking, she's choking, And I
did it, and it was like, you know, it was
a second. It didn't She wasn't choking for very long.
She was crying, and then she didn't want to get
her nails done. She was like, let's go home, and
I said, all right.
Speaker 1: Let's go. I think I told you. Yeah, that night
we went, I would have remembered that.
Speaker 4: Really.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that night we went to see it was her
first concert. I took her to see Katy Perry. Oh
that was a Katy Perry night.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And at first I thought she was she didn't want
to go, but then she's like, no, I want to go.
Speaker 4: I want to see your peacock cock cock.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I remember you telling me about them singing that.
Speaker 1: Oh that was awful. Yeah yeah, no yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, okay, So so I remember, now he's doing
this this thing, and now I'm thinking, okay, okay, but
now what do I do. I do a Heimlich on
the dog, and I remember somebody's saying, you reach in.
Speaker 1: You can reach in and pull it out if you can.
Speaker 3: And I've done this to him before, where he's got
things in his mouth and I just reach my hand
in and pull it out. But he's a lot, you know,
he's he's awake and his mouth is open, and I'm
able to do it right now. He's he's in distress,
clearly in distress. I go to put my hand in
and I got, like you could see on my thumb.
I got I guess he bid it, but he didn't, Yeah,
he bid it. But I pulled my hand. I couldn't
get it in like his jaw was like it was.
Speaker 1: It was clenched.
Speaker 3: It wasn't clenched all the way, but it was it
was not moving like usually I can move his mouth
open with my hand, was not moving at all.
Speaker 1: It was like clenched.
Speaker 3: Now he's going, you know, doing that, and he falls
over and he starts to do with the doggy paddle.
Now he's doggy paddling like really fast with his hand
with his arms and legs, and I'm like, thinking, he's
trying to get it out.
Speaker 1: He's choking.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: It's four o'clock in the morning, and I'm like, oh
my god, I don't know what do I do. I
can't get it into I can't get my hand in
his mouth. What do I do?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, he's choking, he's choking, and I don't
want to scare Sonny, but I'm now freaked out, and
I'm like, you know, and sometimes if you're in a panic,
the other person who's kind of calm might be able
to think. So I'm like, Sonny kind of woke up,
and I'm like, what do I do? Like asking Sonny
what to hoping he's given me a solution or something.
Speaker 1: Mom do this. I saw it on a animal show.
Something give me somebody helped me because I'm alone.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's four o'clock in the morning. I
don't know where I I can't I don't know where
to get a pant. I don't know where my computer is.
I can't find my glasses. He's he's clearly in distress.
I'm I'm thinking he's choking on a rib bone, because
he's thrown up a rib bone like as long as
a pencil, like bones that long, so I'm picturing a
bone is just stuck sideways and and he's just he's
on the ground and he's doggy paddling, and now he's whimpering.
Speaker 1: And then I call nine one one. I don't know.
I thought, thinking maybe they'll talk me through a doggie.
Speaker 4: Of course, why would they?
Speaker 1: And so I call nine one one and at nine one,
w's your emergency. I go, huh, I go, my dog
is My dog is choking. I don't know what to do.
Can you talk me through?
Speaker 3: Like? How do I get And she's like your dog
or your daughter? And I said my dog, and she's like, man,
you have to call the animal hospital. And I go,
I don't have a number for an animal hospital. I'm
by myself. With kids and he's choking and he's choking
right now in front of me, and she was like,
I'm sorry, man, we got to call it animal hospital.
Speaker 4: Is he breathing?
Speaker 3: And I said, he's breathing, but he's breathing really fast,
and she's like, gotta call it animal Can you connect me?
She goes, the only thing I can do is connect
you the fire department. Maybe they can help you.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I said, okay, all right, they call, and then at
that point I don't even remember. I think I hung up.
I didn't even wait to get to the fire department
because then I didn't want to go through another like
we can't help you.
Speaker 1: Bullshit.
Speaker 3: So now I'm like where's now I'm on my phone
like googling, like I'm trying to think, Like I know
that there's a medical I know that there's a hospital.
I know that there's a hospital nearby that I would
take and it's open twenty four hours for animals. But
it's it's what am I gonna do? Put him in
the car and take him right? A dog that's choking,
like this, right, what do I do? And so so, okay,
what's the name of that hospital? So I'm trying to find.
Speaker 4: At this point, he's still like, he's still.
Speaker 3: Doing that, he's still doggy paddling, and I'm like, I'm
I call the animal hospital. I don't even I call
one animal hospital and it goes right to it just
says we're not open right now, Like why So I'm
still trying to think of the name of that hospital
because I know I have it in my phone. I
couldn't think, and he's like and then he let out
this guttural like like he was dying like and then
when he when I heard that, I thought to myself,
please let it stop, let him die, because I don't
want him to I don't want this.
Speaker 1: To keep going, Like I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: What am I gonna He's dying in front of us,
like in front of Sonny, and Sonny's sitting there and
he's sitting up. Sonny heard that and he's like, Mom, Mom,
did you and I go, I know, he let out
this long howling like it was awful. It was nothing
I've ever heard before, nothing, And he kept going like
like you know, doggie paddling now, like a minute, two
minutes go by, almost two minutes, and then I'm like
pacing trying to find the number of the animal hospital,
and Sonny's with him, and then Sonny goes, mom.
Speaker 1: Wait, he's okay, He's okay.
Speaker 3: And I look over and he's sitting up like like
as if he's in that playful position. He's sitting up
and he's wagging his tail and he's looking at me,
like what are you doing? And he contents he can
sense that I'm upset, so immediately he comes over to
me and he's wagging his tail like he you know,
like like he did something wrong or something like what's
the matter, what's the matter? You know, cause I'm going
I can't find the name of the hospital, you know,
and I couldn't help it but freak out, like I
just had no I just freaked out. I'm thinking I'm
gonna go get the name or maybe I don't know
what to do. I'm by myself, and he looks at
me and he just comes over to me and he
like starts licking me and his wagon his tail, and
I was like, oh my god, oh my god. And
he like goes up to Sonny and he's like licking Sonny,
and son He's like, Mommy's okay, he's okay. And I
was like, he's not choking anymore. No, I said, did
he throw up anything?
Speaker 1: No? He So I thought, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I think he might have had a seizure. That
could have been a seizure, because they have a seizure.
I've never witnessed a seizure. I've never known anybody to
have seizures. I've never seen a seizure except on television.
And I immediately think, like, I know that they come
out of it, going where am I What's going to happen? Right?
And that's what he was doing. He was like he was,
you know, back to the normal. He was a little
like kind of dazed a little bit, but he went outside.
I took him outside. I gave him water. He started
drinking water right away. I took him outside, pede he
actually pooped, and I was like, you know, I was,
and I was now and I'm like, I guess he
had a seizure.
Speaker 1: And then sudden he's like, yeah, see he's okay, he's okay.
It feels okay, he's okay.
Speaker 3: And then I start googling it and we're walking around
the living room with him for a while and he's
still panting heavily, like as if he came in from
a long walk, but he was back to seem like normal.
I looking at his eyes, I looked at his gums,
that his gums were red like normal. And I was like,
you know, going like this with Phil, like like holding
up a treat, you know, kind of a little piece
of a treat.
Speaker 1: And I didn't want to give it to him, but
gave him a.
Speaker 3: Little piece of a treat and he was tracking it with,
you know, so he could see. And I'm now I'm
googling on my phone dogs with seizures, and everything I
witnessed is they say that they fall over, they can't
hear you, their jaw clunches, they do the doggy paddle
thing with their breath becomes rapid and they start doggy
paddling like they like, you know, very fast, And that's what.
Speaker 1: He was doing. But I wish I would have known.
Speaker 3: I thought he was choking, because if I would have
known he was having a see I I probably would
have freaked out anyway, because it was not Phil.
Speaker 1: It was not Phil.
Speaker 3: And it was this howling, whimpering gutturals like whimper yell
that he like let out. It freaked me out.
Speaker 1: But I thought that.
Speaker 3: He was dying in front of our eyes. I thought
he was gone. I thought that this dog is dying.
And I what am I doing?
Speaker 1: What am I doing? What do I do? Do I put?
Speaker 3: I have two I have three kids at home, do I?
I was thinking put them in the car and take him,
but and leave the kids. But then, you know, first
of all, I didn't know, like I didn't know what
to do, of course, so but thank.
Speaker 1: God, like he came out of it. So everything I read.
Speaker 4: Did you call it an overnight vet? And I asked yes.
Speaker 3: So then I called the Vet hospital. Found the Vet
hospital called them. I said, I think my dog had
a seizure, but I'm not sure. Well you have to
bring we have to bring them in so that we know.
And I said, well he was.
Speaker 1: He was throwing up.
Speaker 3: He threw up some bones and then he started, see
what I think is a seizure. And well, ma'am, we
can't tell you.
Speaker 1: Over the phone.
Speaker 3: I go listen if I was a friend of yours,
do you think? I said, can I talk to a nurse?
She said, I am a nurse. I said, okay, Well
do you do you think it was because I didn't
know if he still maybe is going to choke again.
I didn't know, so I was like, you think, does
it sound like a siege?
Speaker 4: Got kids at home? I can't be carrying it for
this morning.
Speaker 3: Of course, I'm like, I'm alone with three kids. I
can't come in there right now. I said, do you
think does it sound like a seizure? Does it sound
like a seizure or do you think it was he
choking and maybe he's going to choke again. She's like,
I can't tell you, ma'am, unless And I was like,
I said, if I was a friend of yours, what
would you tell them? I would say, bring the dog in.
We bring the dog in if your friend was alone
with three kids. And I just hung up on hers.
Speaker 1: Fuck you. I was so mad.
Speaker 3: And then I just I googled it and from what
I and so so he was like, he was okay.
He was like, and then it's we were petting him.
We were sitting with him, and said to keep them cool.
He was laying on the cool tile. He wasn't hot,
like it said, you don't want him to overheat.
Speaker 4: So you could it give any causes for it?
Speaker 3: It says sometimes it could if the dog is stressed,
like under a stressful like or over exerted situation where
they over exert themselves or.
Speaker 4: So maybe Peel got stressed from the boat. Maybe he
was choking.
Speaker 3: I think maybe he was choking or and that could
have I'll find out today because I'm taking him to
the vet. But by the time you guys hear this,
I would always I already took.
Speaker 1: Him to the vet.
Speaker 3: Soistic, yeah, but it was insane. And then I googled,
like what to do if a dog is choking, and
they show you like these different diagrams, like you first
pick them up by the hind legs and you hold
them like so that they're on their front legs so
that they're upside down there right then. And if that
doesn't work, you can do the Heimlich underneath their back
hind legs into their you know, into their ribs kind
of thing, same situation, or you reach in and grab it.
Those are the ways to do it if a dog
is choking. But I honestly thought he was dying, like
for And then I looked at my phone calls and
they said, like if it lasts longer than five minutes,
then you need to bring them into the hospital because
it could be you know, brain damage, but it wasn't.
It was about two minutes, I would say, because I
was I judged it by the time I called nine
one one to the third phone call, and I knew
the third phone call was the last one.
Speaker 4: So it's possible that he just will never happen again.
Speaker 3: It's possible that it would never happen again, or it's
possible he has epilepsy, or it's possible that he could
have it once a year or once a month, or
I have no idea at this point until they got
to do blood work and all this other stuff. And
then when I posted, I got so many comments. Thank
you for everybody that gave me all these different advice.
There's all this like everybody was like at the weed shop,
they got this oil you know this cbe d oil
or whatever it's called, that you can give them for
seizures and stuff like that. But I'm not giving them
anything until I find out what it was. But my God,
like it was it was. It was a wake up
call because I was alone and I didn't know what
to do. And you know, again, like even if he
was choking, if those things didn't work. I knew how
to do it, what if it didn't work? And he
was just, I don't know. It was very scary.
Speaker 4: I can't even imagine. That sounds so stressful.
Speaker 3: And didn't Italia and her friend ever wake up. Now
they didn't hear a thing. Her friend was like, you
mean this happened last night? We didn't hear this, And
I said, now, you guys slept through the whole thing.
I thought about taking Sonny and the dog with me
to the hospital and leaving those two just at home,
leaving a note, but I didn't think I needed to
bring him in after that from everything I read, because
then he calmed down, Yeah, they're eleven, now, yeah they can,
Yeah they can stay home.
Speaker 1: And they did not in the middle of the night. No,
I know, yeah they could have, but an emergency they
could have.
Speaker 3: But the next day and then it was like the
basketball game and they didn't want to get to Yeah,
he took him to his game and they stayed and
our tech guy, Ed was at the house working and
he's a dog guy, dog lover, and he had his
cousin with him. They were there, and then I also
called Erica, whose oldest friend who lives close by, and
she yeah, Edika, it's not like one of yea, yeah,
yeah exactly. So she came and she said she was
with Phil while I went to the game. And and
Phil hasn't been alone.
Speaker 1: Well, Phil was alone for a couple hours on Saturday
evening or last night. But he was fine.
Speaker 4: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he had a seizure before nobody was
around to see it. I don't.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I still don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it was the choking.
Speaker 3: That caused it, but he's I don't know if he
choked because also the bones were not very big, they
were just there's like two when they were little that
he threw up. I don't know, I mean, And then
I was worried, is there another one's down there that's
gonna get stuck or something that hasn't made its way out.
Speaker 1: But he ate, he was drinking water, he ate.
Speaker 3: He had his appetite, He pooped a couple times and
was fine. He's been fine, His energy has been fine.
Like you know, they say, keep him calm. The next day,
so I wanted to take him for a little walk,
but Erica did while I was gone she took him
up the street just for a little like stroll, and
he was tired, so she brought him back home. He
slept most of the day the next day, but he
kind of sleeps all day anyway.
Speaker 4: I know it's hard to tell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but his breathing got was really rapid, and then
it got it started to calm down, and then I said, Sonny, okay,
So now it's five o'clock. I said, Sonny, go back,
go back to bed.
Speaker 1: It's okay. And kids are so resilent, like he was like, yeah, see,
he's fine, Mom, he's fine, you know.
Speaker 3: So Sonny kind of went back to sleep, and then
I calmed him down, and he sleeps on the bed
with us. So I put him back on the bed,
and I could tell for a little bit he kept
getting up and he couldn't get comfortable. And usually if
a dog keeps getting up and can't get comfortable, it
could be a sign of pain, right, And he was
doing that for a little bit, and he was kind
of whimpering like he couldn't he couldn't know, he didn't
know what to do with himself kind of thing, and
he let out like he was whimpering, and then Sonny
heard it, and son he was like, Mom, he's whimpering,
and I said, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: And then finally he just plopped down and I was
like petting him, and he just fell asleep and it
was out and it was snoring up a storm, and
then he just went back to sleep and then he
was fine. The next morning, he was like ready to
rock like he always is.
Speaker 4: So it never ends. It's like the kids, Like we're
first we're worried about our kids, and then like we
figure out that we have like a handle on that,
and then like I now bring a dog in, and
then we're worried about our dog. I know.
Speaker 3: And it's like because of Molly and all the shit
I went through with Molly, I like with Phil, I'm like,
thank god, you're a healthy dog. Like you can eat
dinner outside, you don't need to come inside and eat
like I wouldn't be very gentle with Molly and stuff,
and like worry about my Phil.
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's fine.
Speaker 3: He's a dude, he's good, he's strong, he's whatever. Like
he's just you know, he's made a steal.
Speaker 1: I just take him for it.
Speaker 3: I was just like, yeah, he's healthy, but now I'm like, ugh, not,
Now I'm worried, Like I don't want to leave him alone.
Speaker 1: Then it's like sometimes we leave in.
Speaker 3: The backyard, we leave the cover to the pool open
so that he can go swimming.
Speaker 1: The next morning he took a swim in the pool,
took a dip in the pool. But I was with him.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't want him to be around the
pool now unless somebody's supervising him, because what if he's
in the pool and he has a seizure. Somebody said
that to me too on Instagram. Somebody was like, yeah,
my dog has him, but don't let him buy the pool,
you know, no unsupervised pool visits. I was like, great, now,
you know on a hot day, he can't go take
a dip in the pool. We have to keep it covered.
If we leave him outside, or we put him in
his crate. I don't know now, I know now I'm worried.
Speaker 4: Now even now I have destroy stuff anymore?
Speaker 1: Right, not so many, Yeah, he does not so much.
Speaker 3: It's but he got pissed the other day and there
was a raft left on the ground and he tore
that thing apart.
Speaker 1: And so he still does does do a little tearing up.
Speaker 4: I mean luckily at your house probably similar to mine,
you're home a lot, yeah, right, I mean somebody's always around, yes,
So yeah, you know what, you're going to go to
the vet today and they're gonna I mean, that's why
you're going to the vet. Yeah, they're going to check
them out. Yeah, and they're going to tell you like
if if they think that's the sign of a seizure
disorder or if it could have just been a one off,
they'll probably give you more information.
Speaker 3: I don't know how they do that though, because when
I called the vet the next day, I said, do
you want me to should I bring them in because
they're open on Saturdays until noon or was it? Yeah,
it was Saturday, And uh, they said, well, there's no
need to bring them in right now, since you know
he's okay, seems okay, we can wait till monday. But
I still was like, well okay, but I don't know,
like how did they tell? I don't know how you tell?
I don't know, like do they do a brain scan
or what?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, because like think
about how they would do that with kids, Like they
probably don't know like if you're you know, like how
kids have febrile. It is that how you pronounce it
feed fibrile, fibril, it's f E b r I l
E febrile. I don't know. Seizures when they some kids
have seizures when they get to really have fever and
they call them it's like a fever seizure and there's no,
it's not doesn't harm them, and it's I mean, it's
never happened to any of my kids, but I've heard
I know people who have that's happened, and it's like
the scariest thing ever. But then there's nothing to do,
there's no treatment, like they don't they're just like, yeah,
that happened, and then they bring them in and that
they don't treat them, like there's nothing to treat, Like
the seizures not happening anymore. So I don't know if
that's like a similar thing where it's just like a
thing that's going to happen sometimes and that's it.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm worried. I'm gonna hear, but maybe you'll.
Speaker 4: Find out that there's some warning or something to look for.
Speaker 1: Or I mean, he wasn't he was like we're sleeping.
Speaker 4: Well, and now he hasn't been alone much, so you know,
it's not something that happens a lot, right, right, that's true.
So I don't know, man, Man, I go to bed
school for six years and.
Speaker 1: I didn't find out about the seizure stuff.
Speaker 4: No, And I never really had my own practice. I
mean I had a partner.
Speaker 3: Well maybe because you didn't pay attention to seizures because
there was just like neither here nor there for you
since it's like a one off kind of thing and
there's not going to do for it.
Speaker 4: Right right. I was like hip displeasure, that's gonna be
my thing. Yeah, that happens to a lot of dogs, right,
that's yes, it's very freaking Oh my god, I'm so sorry, Lynnette.
I can't that kind of stress too, Like nobody gives
the mom credit for like that's such a stressful situation
that it's hard to get over it.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I and I was exhausted, like well the
next day I was. I thought i'd be more tired,
but I mean I was okay, but then yesterday was
the day after.
Speaker 1: It's always like I think it hits you like two days.
I don't know, I don't know. It hit me yesterday
where I just hit the wall. I was exhausted. I
wanted to go to bed at five o'clock last night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he'd been up all night and so so
Adam was out of town. Adam that congress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well this time he now he was in Detroit
or was it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I went to Detroit for a screening of his documentary
twenty four Hour War and uh and he said I
told him about it, and he said what wait?
Speaker 1: What time did it happen? I said four am? And
he said, I had a vivid dream about Phil right
about that time. Seven am. My time. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 4: That's so weird?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he doesn't ever go like wow, that's weird
kind of thing, but he was like, wow, that's weird.
Speaker 1: I had very vivid dream just around that time about Phil.
Speaker 4: That is crazy.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh god if And like, Sonny, he's like,
it's too bad Dad's not here.
Speaker 1: Because he always makes things seem like he's very he
was very calm. He was very calming effect.
Speaker 3: Okay, Sonny, how about you have a calming effect.
Speaker 4: Because Adam just does a deal.
Speaker 1: He goes it's fine, he's fine.
Speaker 4: Don't worry about it. All dogs shake a little bit
and lay on the ground, right, it's normal. Stop being
so hysterical about everything. Well, I felt like an idiot
because I was just.
Speaker 3: Like, well, he's dying, like I said it on the
phone and say it to Sonny.
Speaker 1: But I like, my dog is dying in front of
my eyes. I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: And I felt bad saying it in front of Sonny.
And also I told Sonny this, I said, I kind
of I feel bad that you were there, but I
also feel kind of good that it was a little
comforting knowing he like to have somebody else there, Like
he kind of comforted me because when he said, Mom,
he's okay, and I and he goes, look, he's wagging
his tail because he's dark. I can't see and he
was kind of far from me, and I go, he is,
and he was sitting there.
Speaker 1: I could see him.
Speaker 4: He was sitting there.
Speaker 3: So when I heard Sonny say that, it was just
kind of comforting having him there, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Sonny going, see, he's fine, Mom, he's fine.
Speaker 3: Kids always want to believe the best out of a situation.
Speaker 4: I said, yeah, when Elbe had her anxiety. And you know,
she's totally better now, by the way, still at sleep
boy camp.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I yeah, no problem.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I mean, as far as I know, she's fine.
But I remember one time, who dropped, okay something. Somebody
had a paper towel near a candle in my bedroom
and they were watching TV and the paper towel caught
fire and then fell on the floor and we have
hardwood floors, and then it started spreading a tiny bit.
There was no damage, but oh my god. LB freaked
and then of course I freaked out because I'm like,
oh my god, oh my god, there's a fire, you know.
And then Elbe was like off to the races. She
was just like crying and hyperventilating, and I was like okay,
and I was like, should I get We have fire
distinguishers in the house, like different rooms of the house,
just in case. John's very paranoid about stuff. But I
don't know if we just put some water on it
or something, but I mean we got it out. I
stumped it out, and then I was like, Okay, everything's okay.
Oh my god. Elby was like beside herself, like that
is not who you want around you. In an emergency
where now, no, that is not going to keep you
calm or help you out. And then it took forever
for her to feel like we're all good. There's no
spark check for sparks, there's no sparks anywhere, there's not
going to be a fire. I was just like, oh geez,
but late. But most recently we had a blackout and
it lasted for it didn't last that long. It was
in the valley. Something happened with pulling park outs. Yeah, hot,
and Elby was so proud of herself because she was
very cool about it. Every because Sadie and Xander are
cool about they're they're not like her. Yeah, so they're
just like, oh cool, blackout. What do you guys want
to do? You don't play cards? And we have a
lot of these things that like with generators that light
up so that you can cut, so we brought that out,
you know. And Albee was so excited because she was like,
I'm not even scared. Do you guys see me? I'm cool,
this is great, this is fine, I'm fine. How long
do you think it's gonna last? But really, I'm totally
this is great. I'm great, I'm great. It's not gonna
last all night though. I mean it's gonna come on
any minute now, right, I mean google it. I'm enjoying myself.
This is so fun. It was funny, and that night obviously, yeah,
it was at night. And then and then she was like,
oh my god, it's really dark on the street and
I was like, don't look at the street. We're not
going anywhere. And then John was like, I think I
should drive to seven eleven and get some ice, and
I was like, I don't think that's a good idea.
All the street lights are out, Like, don't don't go
drive anywhere. And he's like, yeah, but we're gonna lose
all the food in the refrigerator. And Albie was like
do you think do you think we're gonna lose? What
are we gonna eat? And I was like, Albie, we're
gonna go to We'll go to the store, gets more food.
We're gonna be okay. And she was like, oh, okay, all right, cool, cool,
I'm cool man, I'm yeah. And then like afterwards, she
actually told me I'm kind of proud of myself. It
was pretty easy going about that. And I was like,
so you are.
Speaker 1: Patting herself on the back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I know what you mean. It's very scary
when you're alone and you have to be the brave one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I have to think, like I think if
Natalia was with me, I think she would have been
flipping out.
Speaker 1: It's just that's that's the way the two of them are.
Like when I trapped them in the back of the.
Speaker 3: Tesla for the first time, right right, like, she was
flipping out, like, get me out of hair, and Sonny
was like, it's cool, man, she'll figure it out, like
we'll get We're not gonna stay.
Speaker 1: In here forever, Like she'll get the trunk open.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, I'm going I can't get the trunk open, Like
I was kind of like that too. And Italia she
locked herself by accident in the bathroom in our new
bathroom because it doesn't have handles yet. So she went
to the bathroom because we had workers there the other day,
and she closed it all the way shut, and then
she couldn't open it because the door has no handle,
and all of a sudden, I hear from like help, hell,
she's yelling help, and she's like mom banging on the thing,
and she's like I I can't get it open, and
I push it open. She goes, where were you?
Speaker 1: And I go, I walked out of the room for
a minute. I haven't gone that long. And she's like, well,
don't why why is there no handle on the door?
I go, why'd you shut the door all the way?
She's like, because I had to go and watch go
the other bathround.
Speaker 4: Then, oh my god, that is so funny.
Speaker 1: She's the one that freaks out.
Speaker 4: But Sonny's just like, anxiety is a weird thing, you know,
it really is. It's like for some people it's just
an ingrained thing and they'll always be dealing with it,
and other people are like more calm about it.
Speaker 3: I now, like, Sonny and I were driving to the
basketball game and I said to Sonny, I said, that's
when I told him. I said, honestly, Sonny, to be
honest with you, I'm I'm sort of I'm sad that
you had to see that, but I'm also kind of
I was kind of relieved having you there because you
kind of, you know, a little bit of a comfort
to me. And he's like yeah, And then I said,
I said, you know how Dad always says, you know,
if there's an emergency or something the wrong. The worst
thing you could do is panic. You got try and
stay calm. And I said I didn't stay calm one bit.
And he's like, but mom, I understand, Like I can't imagine.
He's like, could you imagine? You know your dog is
like convuls It just happens, like your dog is convulsing,
and then your son has to sit there and watch it,
And like, what if this dog died in front of
you and then your son. He was saying that, and
he's like, I couldn't imagine, Like and then your son.
Speaker 1: Has to watch that happen. And he's like, I couldn't imagine.
Speaker 4: You don't need to imagine because you're there. Oh that's
so he's so empathetic.
Speaker 1: He is, he is.
Speaker 4: He is an empathetic little feat.
Speaker 3: He is definitely absolutely. Oh yeah, he's got a friend
on his team that I told you that has heard.
He's hard of seeing, you know, and here that's like
I am hard of talking.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He wears these special glass and so it just started happening.
It's not like it's all he was born that way
is to start something, some sort.
Speaker 1: Of disease in his eyes.
Speaker 3: I think are something I don't know, Sonny can't get
any information.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: All I know is that he's he's he can see
a little, but he can see enough to play basketball.
But he I don't know, so Sonny, but he's very
like worried about him all the time, Like, you know,
he's the one I was telling him to keep an
eye out for.
Speaker 1: Yeah he is.
Speaker 4: He, Well, you were getting drunk at the recharge.
Speaker 1: It was recharging my battery.
Speaker 4: And he keeps an eye out for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's yes, Yeah, he's definitely her. I don't know.
She's kind of like every man for themselves kind of person.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna lighten the mood. Yeah, just a
little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: By uh. I found this article that really made me laugh.
I okay, hold on a second. Okay. It's about a
mom who made some brownies. Did you hear about this? No,
it was on Facebook. You know, I'm a big Facebook ho.
So she made some brownies and she got for a
school bake sale. She got a really bad reaction because
she let people know that. Here, I'll just read you
the article and then we can discuss whether how we
feel about it. A mom was out of milk and
didn't have time to run to the store. What mother
hasn't been there? It was her solution shared on Facebook
that is causing the huge and predictable social media reaction.
This Facebook page shared a post about a woman who
used breast milk for the brownies destined for a school
bake sale. The mom quote didn't think it was a
big deal, and she wrote some of those kids could
use the nutrition, Let's be honest. Uh yeah. When the
other moms found out, some took issue with the unconventional ingredient.
The poster said of the reaction, I shall forever remember
today as the day I stopped supporting bake sales. Once
the not so secret ingredient was shared a Facebook on
sanct to Mommy, a Facebook page devoted to anonymously sharing
what's deemed as sanctimonious rants or asides by other mom
It received almost five thousand reactions and some droll comparisons.
This woman wrote, Susan, these brownies are delish. What's in them?
Speaker 1: Me? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Or this other mom wrote it's like that one time
I made lemonade with my urine because I ran out
of water and didn't feel like going to the store.
To get more. I only drink Perier, so they were
getting like the best urine ever. I don't know why
everyone was so mad about it. Oh yeah uh. And
then other people, of course, were like, yeah, what's the
big deal, it's it's you know, natural or whatever.
Speaker 1: Bitches.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's disgusting.
Speaker 1: I do too.
Speaker 4: It's a bodily fluid.
Speaker 3: Yes, how do we know you're healthy or you know,
like what if you have HIV?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't want to drink your milk, bitch.
Put your boobs away, feed it to your kid, feed
it to your husband. I don't care what you do
with it in the privacy of your own home. But
you can't. First of all, it's a very highly regulated thing.
Like what I I know, I've told you the story before.
It's very quick. But when when my twins were in
the nicke you, I was not making any milk and
I had a friend who was making tons of milk,
and she was a good friend, big breastfeeder, and she
offered because I was really upset about it because the
new you know, the babies in the nick you like,
they definitely need breast milk. And I was like, well,
she offered. She was like, I'm making so much milk.
My freezers getting full of milk. What you can have some?
But I made the mistake of telling the nick you
that I wanted to bring in. I should have just
brought in some bibles. And so that was mine. But
I didn't know to think that it was going to
be a big dealspital. So I was like, I know,
I'm not making any milk, but I have a friend
who has a baby, and they were like, oh no,
that it's very strict. It has to be tested, like
you can only get it from like a donor to
buy donor milk. But you can't just have your friend
street milk. You can't just get black market street milk.
Speaker 1: I could I mean the hospital. Of course it's going
to say.
Speaker 4: That, right, But so don't put your milk in a
baked sell brownie.
Speaker 1: That's where does this woman live? Like what?
Speaker 4: Plus I find the whole idea condescending anyway of being like, listen,
breast is best. I'm gonna put it in. I know
you're all going to benefit from my highly nutritious boom milk.
Speaker 3: And also like all right, so it's a bake sale, right,
so she's gonna have to produce a lot of brownies, right, right?
Speaker 1: So how much milk did she have to?
Speaker 4: I mean, honest to god, I'm feeling nauseous thinking, I know,
that's disgusting.
Speaker 1: That's disgusting, and I would and then talk about it
on Facebook too, like she posted it on Facebook. Yeah,
like she thought she was proud of herself.
Speaker 4: Yes, wow, and then was upset that people freaked out.
She couldn't believe it.
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't hang with those kind of women.
I just couldn't. I could not hang out with that woman. No, God, no,
I can only imagine the conversations out of her mouth.
Speaker 4: What if you were friends with somebody and then you
found out they did something like that.
Speaker 3: I if Suzanne did something like that, I would be like, bitch, what.
First of all, I don't think I could. I don't
think any of my friends would do something like that.
But I just wo And I can't imagine if my
kids were at that school and ate those brownies. Like
if if that was I was a parent.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want that mom kicked out of school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely banned from any kind of fundraisers.
Speaker 4: Would because that's just that's not good thinking. No, you
were not using your noggin. No, she was using hal
What do you think, Well, how would you feel if
you drank some breast milk brownies?
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't be very very enthused about it.
Speaker 4: He probably doesn't care, right, I'm looking at his face.
I mean, I would just be happy.
Speaker 1: But if I didn't notice, then it depends on how
much how high you got. I guess I don't like
sweets anyway, so I wouldn't even be eating the brownies.
Speaker 4: Oh I hate you.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't like the sweets.
Speaker 4: I know, if you were high and you really had
the munchies, okay, the Lemma time, Yeah, you really have
the munchies. Yeah, there's brownies, but you know there's breast
milk in them. Would you eat one?
Speaker 3: Are you talking about today's Lynnette or like circa nineteen
ninety five?
Speaker 4: Yeah, ninety five.
Speaker 1: I would probably eat one, I think maybe if that
is really high. Yeah, I think it would be kind
of funny and I probably want to taste it right
right right, just you know, and.
Speaker 3: Then just to say I ate somebody's brownie. I probably
would too, I don't know, but absolutely not today.
Speaker 4: No, not today.
Speaker 3: No, No, but I think about it, Like I remember
drinking people's beers at concerts and stuff. That's why I would,
you know, Like I'd be at a concert and somebody
like here have my beer, or even my friends just
drinking out of my friends's red cup after they've been
drinking all night, Like yeah, have I always do that?
I know, but just it's grossest. It skeeves me out
to think about when I'm sober.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, here's the grossest thing you could
ever do. And I feel so nauseous even thinking about this.
But have you Has this ever happened to you? Have
you ever woken up after a night of drinking or
even if it was that night, accidentally picked up a
glass that you thought was beer and it was a
ton of cigarette.
Speaker 1: At the bottom. Yes, oh oh yeah, oh yeah, I
remember doing that. One time.
Speaker 3: I picked up a beer and I started guzzling it,
and my friend went no and grabbed it and then
like showed me what was in it.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh god, yeah, but.
Speaker 4: When it's just a ton, when people have just been
putting their cigarettes, have you done it? Yes, I've done
it before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 4: I'll never forget like it's the grossest, strongest, horrible, horrible taste.
Speaker 1: You know, here's a funny story. So I was set up. Wait, okay,
I gotta think about this. I was.
Speaker 3: I had a friend. Okay, I had a friend at
work that I set up with cousin sal Okay. This
was way before Melissa came along. And Sala was, you know,
just moved to California and was heartbroken because he broke

baseball and she liked games, you know, sports. So they
went to he took her to a Dodger game, but
he went with like Tony Barbieri and like Don Barris.

was stuck up pretty much the I guess the whole time,
and no sense of humor, like, uh, he like Tony
was like messing with her, like he's like she's He's like,
how do you know Lynnette?
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, she's my I'm trying to think
of the words.

in her body. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I mean, I set her up with Sal, but but
she was like not having them.
Speaker 1: She was not having a good time. She had a
puss on the whole time.
Speaker 3: And at the end of the night they got like
the Tony and Don were like sick of her ass.
Sal was a polite guy the whole night, but they
were just like messing with her.
Speaker 1: And they went and got her a beer and brought
her back a beer.
Speaker 3: Then later on I find out months later that Don
went and got beer, put his ball sack in the beer,
gave it to her.
Speaker 1: And yeah, she drank it.

was drinking my coffee and then he texted me a
picture and it was my coffee cup and he had
put his balls in.

was laughing so hard for so long.
Speaker 3: It was just like, but you know, I was did

the coffee when he texted me, and I was like, oh,
