Speaker 1: Made a decision.
Speaker 2: Face sunny sun.
Speaker 1: I hadasion night next everybody, what's up? It's for crying
out loud, that's for crying out loud. How you doing Friday? Yeah,
it's Friday. You know.
Speaker 3: I remember when we had the little kids, when it
was like, did we just talk about this?
Speaker 1: How we were afraid of the weekend?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Friday was the worst day of the week totally.
Speaker 4: People would be like, it's Friday, and I'd be like,
it's Friday, totally, yes, But now it's easy on easy Street.
Speaker 3: Yeah, got our feet up looking out the window in
a corner office.
Speaker 1: One day this.
Speaker 4: Week, I woke up. I looked at the clock and
I was like, okay, that has to be wrong. It
was ten am. Really, I've never i'ven't slept out late
in like, I don't know years, really, I mean definitely
not when the kids were little, but even since they've
gotten older, I just my body just changed. I can't
sleep late. And I was like, oh my god, nobody
bought everybody was still sleeping.
Speaker 1: That's the best. Might as well have still been in
the middle of the night, right.
Speaker 4: Even Penelope is like getting older and doesn't like wake
me up in the morning.
Speaker 1: Does she wake you up?
Speaker 4: No, lucky, Penelope will sleep until we until we wake up.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah, not about Oh he's up.
Speaker 3: Supper takes Phil into his room and makes him sleep
in there with him.
Speaker 1: It's really cute.
Speaker 3: But at like six thirty seven, he starts scratching and
kicking the door, and Sonny has to get up and
open the door and let him out. And he comes
upstairs to our room and just barges right in and
comes on top of the bed and that stares at
me for five minutes. He just sits there and looks
at me, and and I go go to bed, Go
to bed, go to bed. And then he goes to
the end of the bed and he lays down and
then he waits until I get up. He's such a
pain in the ass, it really is. The kids are
so easy. I mean, I can sleep. I could sleep
till ten on the weekends now right. I used to can't.
I It was my body would get up at like
eight thirty totally. But now ever since like I think
COVID when when everything like got shut down, Yeah there
was not much going on. Yeah, it was I can
sleep until ten, so can they?
Speaker 4: It is really weird with the schooling at home. I
now understand the draw of people that homeschool their kids,
because there's something so slow and relaxing about the pace
of not having to get your kids.
Speaker 1: To school in the morning.
Speaker 4: First of all, now I don't really see my kids
in the morning, which I guess if you think about
like it from the perspective of being a good parent,
like you get up with your kids, you drive them
to school, you like, right, hang out. You get to
sit in the car with them and hear about how
much they're dreading going to school and how they're already.
Speaker 1: Like what do we have for lunch today?
Speaker 4: And you know, so, I guess I'm making it sound
better than it is actually, But now that that's not
in the equation, I get up. When I get up,
I take Penelope out, Like I get up. Here's my routine. Yeah, well, hease,
you're wondering, Yeah I am. I actually imagine. Okay, so
I get out of bed. John stays in bed till whatever.
He's got insomnia. Oh that's by the way, tinklefoot doing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what, let's say hi to our friends.
But I'm going to tell you about John not being
happy about the dad Bod. Oh No, yeah, we had
a second argument. Probably shouldn't have named the episode dad.
That was probably my first mistake. No, I didn't think
he was gonna get upset because I meant it as
a compliment, and he and I have since hashed it out.
Speaker 1: Right, but he he thought.
Speaker 4: That that meant he pictured calling somebody dad Bod meant
like that he got fat, which is not true, and he.
Speaker 1: Didn't, and he looks great.
Speaker 4: I meant it as like a guy that you could
relax and eat pasta with, because he's not like going
to the gym for six hours a day act.
Speaker 1: But he didn't hear it that way, so he was upset.
Speaker 4: Okay, Now I got to tell you what he did
when he was upset, because which if he hears this,
then he'll be upset about No.
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. I think he'll be fine.
Speaker 4: But so I come home the day the episode came out,
and he's like, looks really upset, and I'm like, what's wrong?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 4: And I thought maybe somebody died? Like I was like,
did a celebrity die that he loves? You know, did
something happen and he's looking at his phone and he's
like this and then he plays he plays like a
few seconds of me going saying something about it.
Speaker 3: He had it all cute up. Oh fuck, that's yeah,
worse feeling.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I was like, this just
radio talk thiss, radio talk mama. He was not happy.
Speaker 4: You can work on him, no, So then I got
mad at him being mad because I because in my mind,
I didn't mean anything. It was not something negative. And
in my mind, I'm like, why does he think I
would body shame him? Like I wouldn't say something like
that unless I was. I meant it in a loving,
like fun way. So I got mad. I was like,
why is he like policing what I say about him
on my podcast, like this is my pot like not
saying anything that bad. But then later we talked about
it and I understood where he was coming from, which
was like, not that he's so sensitive, but he just
felt like he felt like I was making fun of him,
like calling him fat.
Speaker 3: And he's like flabby And I would ever use those words, no,
of course.
Speaker 4: Not, but he felt like that's what he's like. I
was like, well, that's because you're not hip you don't
know that dad got is a fun term for like
women who think their husbands are attractive, but they don't
want their husbands looking like they go to the gym
and they are way to into their bib.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the little like a little something around the middle
because it makes you feel better about your body. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the thing is like John's thin.
Speaker 4: He is, he actually is, and like, if anybody's got
a middle aged bot, it's me, right, But like I
don't I mean, like I said, he's not like some
chisel gym guy, which is good, but he didn't see
it that way. So I had to explain myself and
I had to apologize and and then but then he
was like which leads me to the fact that he
was like, you can talk about me. You can say
I'm in bed all morning and it pisses you off
because I have insomnia.
Speaker 1: So it's like I work the night shift. How's he
with tingles? It's foot tingle foot, he was.
Speaker 4: He was less mad about God, Okay, good's longing, but
he's still giving me about it.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, are people all right?
Speaker 3: So why so you know, remember I had that uh
that what is it called this stye on my eye.
Speaker 1: Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, can you see it? It's almost gone.
Speaker 3: Well I have a little cover up on it. Oh
but it turned into a big bubble, y know what.
Speaker 1: That's how it was last week, right, So what happened?
What happened? You called doctor Drew? No, you took a picture.
I took a picture and sent it to Drew and
he was like, you gotta go to a doctor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was no help. Okay, and then I and
then finally what's his face?
Speaker 1: Got back?
Speaker 3: Doctor Spaz, doctor doctor Bruce. Yeah, send him a picture,
said the exact same things as Drew. You exactly, warm, compress,
and then you should go to ophthalmologist if it doesn't
go away.
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, thanks, I just want
a little suck.
Speaker 3: Can't you just give me some dry drives, prescribe something
to get this thing off of my face?
Speaker 1: God?
Speaker 4: And it's sitting there for he got the soldering iron.
I know something I hate.
Speaker 3: When there's something like that, like when you get a
sty and stuff, I don't feel like myself, you know
what I mean, gets in the way. Plus I could
see it it was and on the inside.
Speaker 1: It was blown up like a bubble.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I mean I don't know it was Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
so I took a steam shower, I put hot warm compress.
All it did was make it even bigger and like
fluidy right, okay, so nothing I was trying, you know,
And they say, don't don't fuck with it, just a
little bitever Well.
Speaker 4: Health insurance, Right, couldn't you do a ho teldoc and
and show them a picture?
Speaker 3: I was going to do that, but that takes work.
Like I got a Google a time, Hi, where where
do I get?
Speaker 4: That's how blue Shield gets you. They're like, we off
for all these services, and it's going to take you
like four hours to figure out what number to call exactly.
Speaker 3: If you know, if you keep them on the line,
you might get hanged up on a bunch of times.
Speaker 4: First, get some chickens, right, and then so you can
relate to them.
Speaker 1: Three big do you have chickens? If you don't, can't
help you. You're like, how did chickens get into this?
Go on?
Speaker 3: Go on? So yeah, I did nothing, So I just
this the warm compress. Adam comes by, walks by and goes,
what's going out there? I?
Speaker 1: Oh, does it getting better? Or what?
Speaker 3: Looks like it's getting bigger. I go, it's filled with fluid.
He goes, he looks at it, and he goes, I
can take care of that in one second. And I
knew what he was thinking, because he always does. He's
big on zits and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: He like, don't mess with His whole thing is don't
mess with the ZiT, don't squeeze it, don't do any
just get a needle, sterilize it, prick.
Speaker 1: It, and then like pull it apart.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that's Adam's whole thing. And I know
that about him, and I knew what he was talking about.
And I was desperate and I go, all right, let's
do it. And he goes, where's the soap, where's your
sewing kit?
Speaker 1: Mama?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I got the needle out, he you know,
got it sterilized, put his glasses on, and Sonny was
traumatized for life.
Speaker 1: He was like, wait, hold on, Dad, what are you doing?
Oh my god? That could have gotten infected.
Speaker 3: I know, well he sterilized it with alcohol. And I go,
did you really? And he goes of what do you think?
And he goes, you want to smell it? And I
saw that. Yeah, he did it.
Speaker 1: But jim Bean, by the way, is not the same
as like reading alcohol totally.
Speaker 3: And I how he was sober at the time, which
was good too. So Sonny was just like, are you
what You're really going to take a needle and stick it?
Speaker 1: What if it goes through her lid and sticks her eyeball?
Speaker 4: But also, but the thingsty was underneath your eye too,
It was inside and outside.
Speaker 1: It was a whole cashat Oh god, oh god, trigger warning. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, he took his needle and he punctured it
and it hurt like a bitch and nothing.
Speaker 1: Happened, oh no, uh huh, and.
Speaker 3: Made a scab and I was like, all right, you
hit the wrong spot obviously, and he goes yeah, and
he goes, put let me look under the light, and
he goes, I could do it again.
Speaker 1: I see where it is. And I go you thought
you saw it where is the first time? And that hurt,
by the way, It's stung like a bitch. It really hurts. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then he goes, but I really can take care of
this right now, And I was like, all right, then
do it. So God in the sunlight got his eyeglasses on.
Sorry us, Sonny's sitting there watching and he punctured it
and everything, all the fluid came out. Yeah, it was
like a dream. And now it's like shriveled up and
it's like a little scab.
Speaker 1: Does it hurt it?
Speaker 3: It was hurting that day, but I and He's like,
the best thing you can do for it is air
don't put any shit on it, don't do this, don't comment,
blah blah blah blah, just let air it out. The
best thing you can do is sit in front of
a fan and air it out. I was like, all right, okay,
so it worked. But the weird thing is I was
here the other night working before he popped it, working
with with Corolla Drinks and Jen Jennifer, our girl, was
here and she was like, oh yo, I never get styes,
Like she got a sty like a couple of days later, wow,
And I'm like I never went near her.
Speaker 1: We didn't share food.
Speaker 3: I didn't, you know, there was no like kissing or anything,
like we kept we didn't touch anything.
Speaker 1: I like that escalated really quickly or like we didn't
share food.
Speaker 3: There was no kissing, you know, like you couldn't kiss,
Like there was none, you know, we keep apart, right,
so it's weird. And doctor Drew and Bruce said it's
not contagious, but maybe this one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But she got a stye and she
says she never gets one. Interesting. Is that crazy? You
better back up, Stephanie. I know.
Speaker 3: But and it's still there though, Like this was yesterday
that he popped it.
Speaker 1: Oh that was only yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's what I'm saying. Look at how long
I've had it for two weeks. Yeah, it's enough already.
I wanted to get rid of it, I know. Yeah,
so I would have gone to the doctor. You would,
I'm a baby.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have left John like puncture it?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Oh hell no, you're brave. Well you know, I mean,
I just I had to get rid of it. Do
you ever have like with your kid?
Speaker 4: I don't know if your kids are wherever like this,
but Xander will get hurt. Something will hurt him, Like
he'll say, like, oh, okay, friends, I think he kicked
something accidentally. He was you know what he was doing.
He was swinging on we have one of those chin
up bars in the doorway and he likes to swing
on it. And he kicked a step stool by accident.
He was swinging, he kept it and you would have
really thought that, you know, his whole foot was broken
the way he was, you know, like every day it
was like, you know, talk about like tinglefoot, right, He's
just like ice on it, like, and it wasn't. It
was swollen, but not a lot, right. And then John
says because because I'm married to like an old man,
And John's like, well, you know, if it was broken,
it would have blown up like a balloon. I'm giving
him Adam voice, but exactly.
Speaker 1: That's Adam would have said. That's how he talks.
Speaker 4: And then he repeats it's like a mantra like every time.
Xander's like, oh, it still hurts. He's like, yeah, but
if it was broken, it would have blown.
Speaker 1: Up like a balloon.
Speaker 4: And then Xander says to me, well, so Dad says
that it's probably not broken because if it was broken,
I know, it would have blown up like a balloon.
He's like, yeah, it would have blown up like a balloon.
Like yeah, so but then you know, so you're.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm not going to take the kid to the doctor.
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to call it on an X ray
on his toe, because it's not even that swollen, like
it's not blown up like a balloon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's fine.
Speaker 4: So but then you know when they keep complaining and
then you start to feel like what if it is broken?
And then I'm like a horrible parent because I'm like, well,
put some more ice on it.
Speaker 1: And then you know when they're still.
Speaker 4: Caring on about it it's like been five days. But
then part of me is like, okay, because and I
was going to tell you about going to the AMERICANAB.
I was going to tell you that. So but then
anytime I would say like maybe we could go to
like an outdoor mall or something, he'd be like, oh
I would, but my foot, you know how a walk
like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hurt.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So then I get to a point where it's
almost like I'm calling this bluff because I'm like, well,
if it's really hurting that much and it's already been
like a week and a half, should we take you
to the doctor. Thinking he's gonna be like, oh, no,
it doesn't hurt that bad. Uh, plus not blown up
like a balloon, right right, But then you know he's like,
I mean, I don't know, do you think I should
go to the doctor. And then I'm like, now you're
a fox out spot.
Speaker 1: Right, because if I say no, I was just.
Speaker 4: Calling your bluff because I think you're kind of faking
it or exaggerating it because you're dramatic, then it's bad, right,
People frown on that. But then if I go, yeah,
I do think we should go to the doctor, then
I have to take a for a doctor for something
that's I know, not anything I know.
Speaker 3: I had well listen though, don't take a page out
of my book, because when Natalia did that fuck though
that day where she like she was on those hoverboards right,
and she was she was sitting on it and the
thing and her and her bone like was sticking out,
and Adam thought it was her nail and he was
trying to put shit back in and then he wrapped
it up like like like a balloon with gauze and
he was like, just keep it in the ice, keep
it in the ice. So she's sitting there like crying
in pain, and she's keeping an ice for like an
hour and a had, right, and the cup of ice
is now red because it's so you have to dump it.
But ju was stopped up. She was fucked up right.
But up to Adam, you wouldn't have talked, you know,
he would be like, it's fine, just just keep the
ice on, it'll stop bleeding.
Speaker 1: I was like, I there's something wrong. We need to
take her to that. I can't you take her? So yeah, okay, Steph,
you're gonna tell us about Americana my fable, like my
favorite place.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's you just reminded me so uh So i'd
been bug. I've been trying to get Sadie to get
out of the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My kids have gotten so AVERTI being the house. Honey. Yeah,
I know. Anytime you I have.
Speaker 4: To bribe them with things like hey, let's go get
an ice cream cone, and then they'll be like, oh,
can you bring it? Yes, they don't want to leave
the house. They've gotten so used to being home. So
but I've been telling Sadie like, hey, let's go, we
can go shopping to an outdoor mall. Oh, by the way,
I let LB go to a mall for the first time.
And she went to the Tapanga mall. And I told
you that, and she said it was totally fine. It
was knock around it at all. Yeah, right, And you
know they were totally safe. She was wearing her mask
the whole time they went, and they did their normal
pack son. She got a bathing suit top and she
felt it helped because she felt really normal. Yes, it
was like, okay, well, so that got me thinking, like
I don't necessarily want to go into a mall.
Speaker 1: But I was like, but I want to go to
the Americana. That sounds really fun. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I got it into my head that the Americana
would be much like the four h five and kind
of empty and like thank you COVID.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, not so much. I should have warned you.
Oh my god, Lynette, why didn't you tell me now
it's a zoo. I didn't know you.
Speaker 4: I didn't so and understand that Sadie was almost going
against her will because I was like, Sadie, it's gonna
be fun.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the Americana.
Speaker 4: We're going to get a wetzel pretzel, We're going to
feel like normal people.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. What's not to light? I know
it's got the fountains, Sinatra plane.
Speaker 4: Yes, I was like, come on, and so she says, well,
we'll all be come with us.
Speaker 1: My sister. Oh, my god.
Speaker 4: So okay, actually I thought I had nothing to talk
about this show, but so this was my Sunday. Early
in the day, which I'll get back to. We had
another like blind date with another kid. Oh really that
I teased on Tuesday show that we were going that
I was that we had a good one. And then
so then I had spent a few hours at the
dog park with Xander and another mom from our school
and her son. Okay, and we had a great We
had a really good time, but we were there for hours.
By the time I got home, it was like four
o'clock and and Sadie said, and Elbie said she'd go
to the Americana. So now Sadie's all about it. So
I was like, great, let's all get in the car.
And I was worried about like, I'm thinking they're kind
of winding down because you know, it's the smallest probably
what do they close at six? So we're checking how
to google it and she's like, no, they don't close
till eight.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, sweet.
Speaker 4: So we get there and you know, I parked on
the wrong side the park. I parked on the mall side,
so like right, so we had to walk through the mall.
Speaker 1: So we walk into the mall.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, I know it was still want
to go crowded. I don't like them. I mean, it's fine,
but I don't like going to that mall. Like it's
too Yes, it's way too much. It's too much.
Speaker 4: Also, this is going to sound so terrible and ignorant
of me, but I'm embarrassed to tell you this. But
this is just listen, this is life, this is this
is just I'm being I'm keeping it real, keep it real.
I'm seeing all these like flags, right, and I'm like,
what are those flags?
Speaker 1: There's some in our neighborhood. But now I'm in Glendale and.
Speaker 4: I'm like everywhere, I'm looking everywhere, there's like these flags,
these flags on people's cars.
Speaker 1: And I finally I was like, you guys, what are
those flags?
Speaker 4: And then Elbie's like, mom, there's like a genocide going
on in Armenia.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my bad. I'm like, well,
they are not talking about that on the news. I
know how I supposed to know.
Speaker 4: And she's like, yeah, it's kind of a big deal.
And then I realized Glendale is like little Armenia. Yes
it is it's all Armenian people and they were all
up in arms and having like selling face Armenian flag
face masks. And I felt so horrible that I didn't know.
I was like, I got to go home and research this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know. Our school brought it up.
Speaker 3: They they were having some sort of support group because
they're the families and stuff. It's affecting some of the
family and yeah, it is a big deal. I've seen
them everywhere and they get up, they get a whole
like you know, gathering, and they do like a whole
protest and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Did you see though when you come out.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you if they were there, but
they have the they have the Armenian flag things going
on outside. So we come out and you're walking towards
the American Then there was LBGTQ community and they were
like sign the flag, We're going to bring it to
Washington and blah blah blah. Oh wow, it was great
in Italian.
Speaker 1: I signed it. It was really nice. Yeah. So so I
felt like I got a little mini civics lesson. Right.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if you can call that civics,
but like a world like what's going on in the
world and since I've been in my house only focusing
on very narrow range of topics, right, So okay, but
so then it's packed.
Speaker 1: In them all. There was a line.
Speaker 4: Every store had a really long one, Like you can't
just go to Bath and Body now it's like trying
to get Taylor Swift ticket.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: It was like, oh, it was literally like the line
for the Matterhorn at Disneyland.
Speaker 1: It was like winding around.
Speaker 4: I was like, who's standing in line that long to
get some like body load shite?
Speaker 1: I know? Just order that shit online. And also when
you go to a mall, you don't have like you're
not like.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm focused, I'm getting some like pomegranate lemon body spray, right,
because if you're going to do that, you.
Speaker 1: Buy it online.
Speaker 4: You go to Bath and Body just to walk around
and not buy stuff and sniff everything exactly and make
an impulse buy maybe if they're having a crazy sale.
Speaker 1: Or you got a friend that's got a birthday coming, right. Yeah.
So I said that to Sadie. I was like, we don't.
Speaker 4: This is like, you're going to stand in line that long,
you better be knowing what you want to buy.
Speaker 1: Because people are going to be like watching you from
the line, going to get your ship, bitch and get out,
like I know what I want, you know, like you
feel bad browsing total.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is already so not fun. So
then we get out to the outdoor park. We get
through there because I'm like, we're not going in any
of these stores.
Speaker 1: Then the whole, the whole dining food court is shut down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like, can't do right. So we go outside.
I'm like, you know what, screw this any of the
all the stores have lines. I was like, screw it,
not shopping. Let's go to cheesecake Factory and just sit
an outdoor table and have some dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And now it's five thirty, right already Yeah, because we
left it four.
Speaker 1: Now it's five thirty.
Speaker 4: I go to the front cheesecake Factory. There's I see
open tables. I was like, hey, so can we get
a table for three? And she was like yeah, it's
going to be a two and a half hour Wait.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know, nut.
Speaker 3: I know, I know I should have I didn't know
you're gonna go I have a whole thing down, Like.
Speaker 1: I go, oh my god. Stephani I go. So there's
an Italian restaurant that Natalia really likes, I know, the
Amechi or something, and there.
Speaker 3: It's right there by the four I have like a
two hour wait as well, yeah they do, but Natalia
like the brows and walk around. So as soon as
we get there, we go there, we put on name
in and usually they text us not two hours.
Speaker 1: Usually it's about an hour or maybe a little more.
Speaker 3: But by then, you know, she's done walking through her
Brandy Melville whatever, standing and like she stood in line
to look at shit at the Tory Birch store. Oh
really right, I know, And I was like, what do
you know about toy Birch.
Speaker 1: She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I like her symbol or whatever. And she's got earrings.
I'm want to go look at them. And I go,
you're gonna stand it up really all right, I'm just
gonna sit here and like listen to my podcast.
Speaker 1: Tell me when you're done. That's what I did.
Speaker 3: So by the time she's done and comes out, I
get a text that hey, your table's ready.
Speaker 1: I'm like, great, okay.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of what we do, right, because you
can't get there at like between four and whatever when
they close and say, hey, I want a table. Fuck no,
they're gonna wish you back into the corn for you.
Fuck that you want a table? That's our reference to Patreon.
Patreon people just got it, but you don't. If you
don't belong to Patreon, you really should join.
Speaker 4: If not just for this story, they could tell us
that could really blow up my kid's social life. Yeah yeah,
well so that one store. So we walked by Brandy.
Now I got you have to understand I have a
twelve very soon to be thirteen year old, So she's
just entering the phase of like she doesn't want to
be like uncool and like Brandy might be kind of over,
but at the same time, she never got to experience it.
And Albie had a super hardcore Brandy Melville phase. So
now Sadie like doesn't want to quite say like maybe
I want to wear some Brandy.
Speaker 1: Melville, but she's also really trying to bond with Elbe.
Speaker 4: So Albie says, like, do you want to go in
Brandy And Sadie's like, no, it's okay, It's just like
a line, and Albie goes, okay, it's not really a
long line.
Speaker 1: Like we can go in there.
Speaker 4: And then Sadie's like, Mom, do I have any allowance?
And the thing is, Sadie, he supposedly gets ten dollars
a week. Everybody understands it. I've said that, but I can't.
I don't think I've given her allowance in the past
like five months, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Maybe like eight months, maybe since beginning of COVID. I can't.
Speaker 4: I don't remember ever giving her money. Now, elb has
a bank account, so and I know your kids do too. Now,
so it's so easy. I give her one hundred dollars
a month. At the beginning of the month, she goes, mom,
can you transfer my money?
Speaker 1: Or she does it herself. She sticks my face.
Speaker 4: In the phone to open my bank out and then
she transfers it. And then she goes, I transferred a thousand,
and then she's like, just kidding, I the one zero. Anyway,
The point is she gets her money. You want to
spend it all on the first day, that's your business,
but like I'm telling giving you more.
Speaker 1: So Sadie was like, do I have the allowance? And
I was.
Speaker 4: I felt so bad because Elbie has Sadie never buys clothes.
Speaker 1: I told you.
Speaker 4: I just recently bought her a bunch of stuff from
Shine or Sheen or whatever that rom weed. Yeah yeah,
but you know, the clothes are kind of cheap and
everything was super oversized on her whatever, but whatever.
Speaker 1: She's like into, like wanting to buy clothes. I was like,
I'm all for it.
Speaker 3: I go.
Speaker 4: So I felt like a totally big shot. I was like,
LB has one of my credit cards. I was like
her and take her in there. And Albie's like, really,
can she buy some stuff? And I was like, go
for it.
Speaker 1: Have fun. Sister's bonding. And then alb was like do you.
Speaker 4: Need to come in with us or It's like, you know, no,
that's fine, I can wait out here. Yeah, same thing.
So I sat outside, I listened to a podcast and
they were so cute. They came out and Sadie had
a little bag. She'd bought four Brandy shirts.
Speaker 3: She's perfect for Brandy because I would think those shirts
are perfect for her. You see how little they are,
by the way, Yes, I mean they stretch and stuff,
but yeah, but Sadie's tiny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's just that Sadie's way more modest than Elbie.
Speaker 1: Like Elbie's all about the short what they all wear.
Speaker 4: Yeah, jeans, but tiny shirts, haltertops, and then a hoodie
over it, which I'm sure the hoodie comes right off
of course when they're around boys. But Sadie's just way
more like everything's oversized. She wears giant sweatshirts. She wears
John sweatshirts, and then like jeans or leggings or whatever.
Speaker 1: Right right, I like your style. She's got a cute style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big it's a big shot, but that's
nice that they bonded and it fun so well.
Speaker 1: So this this everything's interconnected.
Speaker 4: Xander at first wanted to come, but I really didn't
want him to come because he he is such a
typical boy in that, Like he's immediately like either either
we're going to like a skate store where he can
find a T shirt or he's done.
Speaker 1: Exactly, He's like, so we.
Speaker 4: Go, like how many stores do we need to go?
Like we already went into a store totally like are
we done?
Speaker 1: I'm like, you shouldn't have come. Exactly.
Speaker 3: I did the same thing with so I'm like going
to the America and you don't want to come, do you.
The only thing he does is he goes to the
Apple store, browses that, and then the Samsung store and
that's it, and then he's like I'm done, Like I'm done,
How long are you guys?
Speaker 1: Right here?
Speaker 4: Right, come on, let's go. Yeah, it's typical dude. So
Xander thought he wanted to go because he never goes anywhere. Yeah,
but we'd already been out for the afternoon. So Sadie
was like, doesn't your foot still hurt.
Speaker 1: Your table foot? You're broken toe. It didn't blow up
like a balloon, so it's probably just sprained.
Speaker 4: And he's like yeah, and then he's like, mom, I
kind of want to go. He goes, but I'm afraid
once I get there, I'm going to regret it. And
I was like, yeah, I mean you should go with
that instinct. Yeah, stay home. Yeah, so he stayed home.
So so then we then I was like, I'm starving.
Speaker 1: There's no way to get food.
Speaker 4: Yeah, none of these, none of these outsholes are going
to give me food because I suddenly crazily crowded there. Right,
So I'm like, now I want cheesecake factory. So I'm like,
let's call the cheesecake factory in Sherman Oaks, so on
our way back.
Speaker 1: We so it'll take us like, yeah, you know, thirty
minutes to get there. So I call them.
Speaker 4: They're like, oh yeah, we don't take reservations. Oh and
there's an hour wait.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So we went to Bikito Moss for
our house, sat outside, ate some dinner, love became home love.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was really fun. Yeah, yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 3: I mean I take you know, when she wants to
bond with me and she wants to go, you know, out,
and she's bored.
Speaker 1: She'll like once a month asked me to go, and
you know, and then I'm like sometimes I'm like what
am I doing? By the way.
Speaker 3: And also she's stuck at home a lot. Why not
you know, she's got her allowance. Let let her spend
it and we go. And I love that Italian restaurant.
So yeah, yeah, it's face. I've been bonding with an
Italian a lot, which has been.
Speaker 1: That is nice. Yeah, she's so like I.
Speaker 3: Said on the other show, she's just so pumped up,
you know, and I love that she describes everything to me.
It's really nice. And Adam, you know, he's been he's
been talking to her and they've been getting along better.
Her and Sonny getting arguments once in a while, like
about masks and stuff like that, and you know, and
it's like I have to break it up and go no,
no talk, no, like it sucks, like no political talk.
I gotta tell them, like I don't want to sit
here and listen to this and be a referee. And
by the way, Natalia just shuts him down.
Speaker 1: Screams at him and then leaves. And then Adam's I.
Speaker 3: Mean, Sonny is like, how am I supposed to have
a conversation with her when she just walks away And
I'm like, well, maybe she she doesn't want a debate
right now, and he's like, well she brought it up.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's like a lot of that, and I'm just those
two went to Brittany together.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that how recently a week ago?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Because of it? Tell us? Yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 3: Was because of them basically like arguing you know a lot,
and also like they started to get along, which was
nice for a while, but then you know it, then
it goes away and then it's just they're back to
you know, bickering or whatever. I noticed them trying to
be nice to each other, like hey, hey, you know
like that, and like I say, like, okay, let's sit
down and eat together, you know, because they want to
take their food and go their own.
Speaker 1: So they're like all right.
Speaker 3: So they sit and eat together and then they they
talk and stuff and it's nice. But it's sad though,
because I can tell like they both are trying really hard,
but yet they don't know how to do it.
Speaker 1: They don't know how to connect.
Speaker 3: So what happens is Sonny will bring up something or
she will be you know something, and he likes to
debate everything, not politics, I mean, yes, politics, but other things.
Speaker 1: Too, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like he'll say, you know, I'll say, don't go outside
the weather the air is bad from all the smoke.
Speaker 1: No it's not, it's you know.
Speaker 3: Then he has to tell me some statistic that he
looked up on Instagram, you know, and I'm like, listen, dude,
just don't I don't want you jumping on the trampoline
right now. The air is quality's bad. Well blah blah
blah blah. But did you know it's like, oh my god,
really like challenging.
Speaker 4: He's in that stage of challenging, especially me and Italia,
and I think he starts to feel ganged up on,
you know, like when Adam's out of town and it's
just the.
Speaker 1: Three of us.
Speaker 3: He he tries very hard to like make his you know, point,
get his point across, and like, you know, try and
be the winner of the argument or.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. And it's so exhausting.
Speaker 3: And I get it, you know, he's a teenager and
he's going through all that. But at the same time,
it's just it is exhausting, and I understand the point
of view because a lot of times she doesn't want
to hear it, she's tired or whatever, and he's like, well,
come on, and he's doing it in a nice way.
He's not like yelling at her, like God, and then
they start off fine, and then it just goes into
like he gets mad because she cuts them off and
he's like, I can't finish my point, you know, and
then he gets like teary eyed because then he's like
irritated and mad, and I can tell and it's.
Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, and I'm in the middle. So
they I.
Speaker 3: Sent them to Brittany, and Brittany was like, yeah, it's
typical sibling stuff, and that's actually a lot of boy
girl conflict, you know, especially at this time. Their their
age and their hormones and all that. So you know,
so they're going to go again. So they went once,
they're going to go again.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I mean, look, their kid, their their brother and sister.
But I really want them to start to get along
and understand and have patients they you know, I Natalia
has no patience, right, She's got a little bit of anxiousness.
There's a lot of anxious energy, like Brittany will tell you.
And she had that a long time ago when she
went to Brittany and that's why I sent her, right,
and I guess she got a little bit now she's
very like she's she's got this like anxious energy, you know,
like who's coming over on Friday?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Or can I invite the team over in the backyard
to bond, you know, and all that kind of stuff,
which and doesn't tell me, by the way, And then
I get a knock at the door and then.
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, yeah, I invited the team over.
Speaker 4: That's irritating though, because don't you want to have like
some stuff for like snacks?
Speaker 1: That's what I said here.
Speaker 3: She's like, mom, I said that, and She's like, I
we don't need anything. I clean the backyard. Everybody goes
through the side gate except for the.
Speaker 1: One that ends right. Who's like, order pizza or what
she What did she do?
Speaker 3: I don't know she she I don't know what she did.
I don't think she ordered food. She brought everybody water
and stuff. It was like an afternoon. They were there
for like an two hours at the most, you know.
But they had a great time. I mean, such a
great you know, it's a little it's like twelve thirteen
girls and they all get along, which is insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so nice, so really nice.
Speaker 4: Did they swim? I know it hasn't been as hot. No,
they didn't go swimming. They sat in a circle on
the trampoline most of the time, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh cute, I know.
Speaker 3: And then Italian was telling me like, uh, you know,
she feels bad. I guess this is where the humble bride.
I was going to say this, but she feels bad
because that coach is really tough on her and asks,
you know, and tell and we'll take another girl out
and put her keep her in, you know. And then
some of her friends don't get a lot of playing time.
And she feels bad and you know, so she's like,
I don't know, oh, but that's nice.
Speaker 1: She deserves to be like the little star of the team.
Speaker 4: For one.
Speaker 3: But then that's another thing with Sonny and Italia, because
now Sonny doesn't have you know, so he hears me
praising her and going, that's great, and she's talking about
her team and her coach, you know, and he doesn't.
Before he had something to talk about, but now he
doesn't have anything, and I got to find him something.
You know.
Speaker 4: It's so weird because he was so in the it's
weird to be so into basketball. That's like all he
was doing for so long. To go from that to nothing, right, nothing.
This is what people don't understand. Well, no, they do understand.
But this is one of the things that's so hard
about COVID. I think that affects their whole life, is
it's not just it's really hard to have an activity,
especially teenagers. Yeah, because like right now they're the basketball
program that my kids had been in with coach Kiki
for a while, Like that's.
Speaker 1: Not going on. That was just in a gym.
Speaker 4: He doesn't have access to a gym, and they were
and then not that they were really doing that. But
the last thing Xander did was basketball but at school,
and that was sixth grade and now he's in seventh
grade and there's no sports. There's no I'm trying to
get them tennis lessons, that would be good. I'm trying
to think of something like that's.
Speaker 1: Not a team.
Speaker 4: I want them to do something where there's where there
are other kids. Yes, I know, like I want something
like what Natalia has, like Elbie told me yesterday, So
there's no cheerleading. So you know, she had dropped out
of basketball to do cheerleading, right, and now there's there's
no cheerleading.
Speaker 3: So they're not going on that trip that they were planning.
Remember they were planning a trip. Oh that was over
the summer that got canceled immediately. No, nothing, and they're
not even doing they're not even really meeting because there's nothing.
There's no point, there's no there's no cheers because there's
not going to be any games. Wow, I know, it's
really they don't have any games coming up or anything
like the school. I think our school is starting to
have outdoor.
Speaker 4: Well they might drillly do that, but there's not going
to be cheerleaders at their games, right, so they don't
get to do any of that, and she's.
Speaker 1: So bummed and so she really has no it's just school.
It's just classes.
Speaker 3: Now, that's what That's the thing is that that's what
Sunny's got. And he walks goes on it's walks by himself,
and he's just I'm just thinking to myself, like this
is this kid has to do something, Like he's by
himself all the time, you know, and an Adam has
been traveling and so when he's gone, it's like he's
home by himself sometimes because I'm with Natalia going and
doing stuff.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's just it can't be healthy.
I should bring Xander over. Yeah, yeah, we can tell
you and Albie would love each other. And I know
they really would.
Speaker 3: I know, I know when she saw that picture of them,
she was like, oh no, you know, yeah, totally absolutely, because.
Speaker 4: Elbie's got that same like she's super social and she's
always doing something and now she's about to be sixteen,
so that'll be kind of fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Natalia, probably totally we should do that. Friend, we
can meet somewhere, you just come over. Yeah, you know,
I bet the kids would love it. Do you wear
masks though?
Speaker 4: I mean I hate them. They don't there's no oxygen,
no oxygen levels all.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so uh we're just joking.
Speaker 1: We're just joking.
Speaker 4: Yes, I wear masks. Yeah, Kaylan wears a mask all
the time. Kaylan is super careful. Yeah, this guy has
changed so much by the way I now.
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of it. Like this responsible dad, Yeah,
super into his kids. And this girl doesn't do and
doesn't drink, doesn't smoke.
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, knew me.
Speaker 1: Don't drink, don't smoke. What do you do so you
don't you don't.
Speaker 3: How do you you notice a difference in your in
your health, like how you feel?
Speaker 2: Yeah, big difference really, Yeah, totally. I have so much
more energy than I used to. I mean it helps
that I'm not going out anywhere, you know, to like
parties or get together. If I was, I don't know,
I probably have a beer or two. I'm not like
totally against drinking now, but yeah, especially not smoking cigarettes anymore.
Like I never have those just like random pains in
my oh wow chest or a sore throat for no reason.
Speaker 1: So that feels a lot better. That's awesome, O, Cale,
I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 2: You.
Speaker 1: She's got his mask on right now as he speaks.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 1: I know it's it is. That's a little how come
you wear it in there though?
Speaker 2: You know, I honestly I do. I wear it all
the time because I am in the compromised group of people.
It would be very very bad if I did get COVID.
But I wear it so much that I just forget
that I have it on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. You might as well just keep wearing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like Natalia said, she wore it that day at
the game at the tournaments, and she's just like, you
just put it on and forget.
Speaker 1: You have it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you totally forget you have it on.
Speaker 1: Your mask is really nice. I like that.
Speaker 2: My mom got it for me.
Speaker 1: Oh love that. Look the mid see that's the other
picture of the Yeah, take a picture of for instance,
for our instance.
Speaker 4: Because the mask thing too, it's got to be like
that stretchy kind of material or what is that stretchy?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: See I like that. I wear this. I wear the
nurse mask like you know, the disposable ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I wear. Huh, that is what I
used to wear.
Speaker 2: And then just my mom being mom.
Speaker 3: I want a good mask. I mean, what a good mom.
And it's a nice looking mask too. It's white with
the with the black border.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try and take a picture of him right now,
but okay, hold on, I gotta how come I can't
take a photo?
Speaker 1: By the way, can we just talk about The Valve
for one second? Yes? Again, I am obsessed with that
show on a Klin. Have you watched The Valve?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I haven't.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's the documentary on Nexium next them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even if you've seen the even if you've listened.
Speaker 3: To the podcast, this way more, way, more interesting, way
more material. I cannot believe all the footage they have.
It looks like, I know, for this documentary.
Speaker 4: Because the guy, the guy that would that made the
movie what the bleep, was thinking that he was making
a movie for Keith Ranier.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, he wanted him to document everything.
Speaker 4: So it ended up being not what Keith Renier would
have wanted because he used all that footage told to
like tell a totally different story.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the footage is amazing, I know.
Speaker 3: And also the audio him the phone calls, he recorded
all the phone calls.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 4: I know that's wouldn't you be like if you were
that guy, wouldn't you be like, uh like are you
are you.
Speaker 1: Recording me for every phone call? Do you want that? Right?
It's just bizarre. I mean, it really is. And you
know you could have been in that cult.
Speaker 4: I'm posting a picture right now. This is happening in
real time, Kaylan of Kayln in his mask. It's on
our what's our? It's it's f col pod. There you
go on Insta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the vow done.
Speaker 4: I found it so riveting and some people were saying
it was kind of boring, but I didn't find it boring.
Speaker 1: At all, Not at all, No, not at all.
Speaker 4: I love the You know what I loved about the
way they tell the story is obviously things change with
the narrators. You might say, they really show it in
almost it almost feels like it's happening in real time,
where first they're really into it and they're talking how
great Nexium is, and and then it doesn't get dark
until sort of the middle of the series you start
to and they so they take you all the way
through like their journey totally until they and then you
find out who got out and you know, yes, it's
insane to me that that guy could you know the
real The other thing is that Alison Mac is just insane.
And she was the one that starts to dots, which
was the group right, which.
Speaker 1: Came from Janess right, so, which was the women's group, right,
the women's like empowerment thing, And that's the one that
she invited me to. Oh Janese really yeah, oh my god,
which was is like the precursor to the branding one.
Oh my god, you could have been branded. That's what
she was inviting me to. That was that I have
the and that was Alison Mac that invited you. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I posted the thing on in boarding the exchange again where.
Speaker 1: She was like hey, she reached out to me.
Speaker 4: She tweeted at me and was like hey, because obviously
I didn't follow her in those days. I don't know
if it's still this way, but you have to be
following somebody to be able to direct message them, except
for I think nowadays on Twitter you can leave your
direct messages open, so anybody can direct message you. But
at that point you had to be following somebody. So
she was like, hey, can you follow me? Because I
want to tell you about this thing I want to
or invite you to whatever. So I followed her and
then I looked up who she was and I knew
she was from the from Smallville, but I also saw
that she had done I know my first name is
Steven the Lifetime movie.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, So.
Speaker 4: I was like, I wrote to her. I was like,
oh my god. First of all, I was super excited. Yeah,
I'm like, oh my god, it's the lever Like, yeah,
like a kind of famous person is like reaching out
to me.
Speaker 1: I think I might have been doing a parental discretion
at the time. Oh interesting. So I was like, oh, like,
so she's reaching out to me for some So I
assumed it was like some charity thing that she was
asking me to be a part of. And I was
like super flattered.
Speaker 4: So I wrote, Oh my gosh, Like, by the way,
I know my first name is Stephen is like my favorite,
all time favorite Lifetime movie. I didn't need to say. Also,
the Betty Broader up story, you know, she didn't need
to know that at the time, So.
Speaker 1: I don't want to make myself out to be a liar.
Speaker 4: I also love the Betty brought her story and Betty
brought her her final fury. But I know my first
name is Steven is up there right right totally.
Speaker 1: So I was like, uh, I said that, and then
I said, so is it a charity?
Speaker 4: And then she wrote me back not exactly a charity,
it's like a women's organization. And then and then right
away I was like, oh, I smell a rat. You
know me, I'm cynepel as fuck. I was like, uh,
I don't know what this says. She goes it's called
Janus or whatever, and then she was like, I'd really
like to meet you for coffee to tell you more
about it.
Speaker 1: Serious. Yes, I'll show you the exchange. I'll put it
back on our Yeah.
Speaker 4: I put it up and then I said so then
I ignore her. I don't write back, and then she
writes me again, like a couple of weeks later and
she's like, hey, I'm in La, I'd love to meet
you for coffee.
Speaker 1: And I never responded. Jesus, you could have been branded.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: If I've been more of yourson, who's a fall.
Speaker 3: Door getter, if you were a go getter, would you
have gone down to the doas thing like you know
for Huvee and Genesis right right, You're not cynical.
Speaker 4: No, because first of all, I many years ago I
told you I I like signed up to sell Kirby
vacuum cleaners.
Speaker 1: That was, and I was all about it.
Speaker 4: And I went to the original meeting and it was
like I went to Kirby vacuum Cleaner. I was like,
I can sell the shit out of some vacuums. Like
that seems right up my alley, going door to door.
I'll chat with people, I'll do a demonstration, pour some
grape juice on their carpet, whatever I have to do.
Speaker 1: I'm in.
Speaker 4: As soon as I started hearing all the sales you speak,
and then you got to always be closing and all
the thing, and I was like, hmm, this isn't really
for me. I'm not that kind of person, Like I
don't like that stuff. Right my whole life, I've never
been like I'm not going to go to the forum.
I don't want to learn your like weird.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go.
Speaker 4: To AA originally because I was like, it's going to
be a bunch of slogans.
Speaker 1: It's going to be like so.
Speaker 4: Kind of executive like self helpy thing. Right, It's not
really like that. But the point is I was I
would not. As soon as she was telling me it's
some organization. I must have looked it up and I
was like, hmmm, I don't know, some kind of empowerment.
So let's just say you were into that kind of thing.
I wish I'm just dreaming.
