Speaker 2: If I lived in Palm Springs, I'd be having brunch
there every day.
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 3: We almost wanted we wanted to go for the next
morning for breakfast, but we were so lazy. We just
went to the place next door's. Yeahs, Yeah, so what
how was your morning?
Speaker 2: Because we left pretty early because the kids, the kids
had homework, yeah still, and they hadn't had any like
chill time, and you know, my kid's social batteries drained quickly,
so I told them we could leave. So basically I
went and got a coffee in the morning while they slept,
and then like at ten o'clock, we were like packed
all the stuff and yeah, went and grabbed my kids
breakfast to go.
Speaker 1: So cute, Stephanie.
Speaker 2: They were so good.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen your kids in so long, and I
just adore them.
Speaker 3: They're so freaking adorable, really nice, beautiful, and there's they're
such kind kids. They're very sweet, very just chill, easy
to talk to. Had a ball playing the bingo with us,
freaking Xander one. It was the first one out of
this gate to win, so funny.
Speaker 2: And then I look over at Sadie, I go, don't
you fucking hear when the next game I go back
that win, She goes, why I go because it's a
real bad look for us, I know.
Speaker 3: And Stephanie were playing along and then finally we were like,
oh we should be playing yeah, we go yeah.
Speaker 2: Because I get competitive. I was like, oh, I'm went away.
Speaker 1: And then I had that thought too.
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't win. I know, it's so raw.
I know, I know. And then Xander won a bottle
of wine that's right, and he was like, didn't know
what to do. And then the jewel our drag queen
was like, well, do you want to take it for
your mom? And then I was like, no, no, don't
need that in our house. And then Xander goes, uh
my mom says no. And then then the drag queen
jewels like, okay, bring it, bring it back to me,
give it to somebody else, right, Xander walking around the
bottle bottle of wine triumphantly over sad.
Speaker 1: When everybody throws their rolled up sheets at him. I
know that was so far.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was so funny. So if you when
you if you win the bingo game, they make you
run walk around the room and you get to throw
your used bingo up and then everybody just throws it
at the person. It was so fun.
Speaker 1: It was fun. That was the fun. That was the
best part. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fun. And Jewel was hilarious. And she
she was singing and I actually went outside. So you're
at with her with Jewel?
Speaker 2: You did? Yeah?

gave me a little background about like where she grew
up and stuff, and really yeah, yeah, she she grew
up in Long Beach by the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, Okay, I think I knew she
was from Long Beach.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And yeah, just met so many great people. There was
a table of guys, gay guys that I just fell
in love with. And I didn't think that they were
there for us.
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, there's a couple of tables of
like cool gay men. They're obviously not our fans, they're
probably locals, right, No, they were there for us. They
were there for us, and it was or maybe it
was a happy coincident, that's true.
Speaker 3: It was Jared and his boyfriend Victor, and I told
him I give him a shout out. I love you
guys third freaking adorable. I know.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that our show trendscends. You know why,
because we're also just we don't We're not We're not

Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 3: I mean we pulled up blasting the best boys oh
oh oh on the way home after Okay, so we
had the bingo and then we were all going back
to the hotel to do our live show and.
Speaker 1: Mike Gerstein.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Mike Gerstein showed up, and so I brought
down my girlfriend Don and Mike, which I'll tell you
how Mike showed up like kind of the last minute,
which I told on the show. But anyway, Mike is
clean and sober. So he drove us from the hotel
to the restaurant to Woman Frida's and then afterwards, so
we needed a ride back and he was driving us
back and these two girls I cannot remember her name.
She had short, blonde hair, and she was with her sister.
Speaker 2: She was the Angelie. Angelae is the girl with the

Speaker 3: Yah yeah, yeah, her and her sister Anita to ride
back and we shoved them in the back of Mike's truck.
Mike blasted the Beastie Boys. It's like this was like
my teenage years. I was in the back of Mike's
El Camino or whatever, driving, you know, blasting rap music.
This is you want to like, this is a taste
of mine, this is this is really cooking at old
school right now, right, So it was fun, Like we
went back to the hotel we did.
Speaker 2: He that comes full circle because Angelie is a friend
of Robin's because their husbands worked together. Yeah. So, and
I've been to yacht rock with her.
Speaker 1: M there you go.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure she also appreciates the rap.
Speaker 1: She knew every word.
Speaker 3: We played Paul Revere by the Beastie Yes see, if
we had our playing out song, we would play that
as I was playing you.
Speaker 2: Know when I when we were driving up, I was
learning stuff about my kids. Well, first of all, they
were they were like mom. So we drove with Robin.
So it was me and Robin and the kids, and
I found out that my son's favorite band is the
Food Fighters.
Speaker 1: You didn't know that.
Speaker 2: Did not know that? No, Robin's favorite band and apparently
Xander's favorite band.
Speaker 1: See how They Transcend.
Speaker 2: I knew he'd learned songs from the I knew he'd
learned some food fighters on the guitar, but I just
didn't know that was like his favorite band.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: He likes like some Metallica songs. He likes like hard rock. Wow,
he's such a yeah. And Sadie's like whatever, I don't care.
I like whatever's on. She likes what Elbie likes, which
is like dance music, club music. I don't know, you know,
and it's got it. Yeah, he loves the weekend. Yeah,
like that kind of shit. You know, all these bands
that I have, calling them bands is using the term
too loosely, just acts I've never heard of, right, where
do I guess I know about them on TikTok.
Speaker 1: I don't know where they hear them.
Speaker 3: It's not like they're cruising along listening to Kiss FM
and you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But you're not like me, because I do. I heard
a song, you know, I got my head on the
sun roof I'm watching. I don't know if you know
that song now, but I like it came on the
radio and I was like, oh, this is a really
good song and Xander goes, it's so mom, it's all
over TikTok. But on TikTok for like a year.
Speaker 3: Sonny and Xander are exactly the same, Like Study likes
the same music as Xander, and then whenever I go
oh and Sonny, you'll go do the same thing.
Speaker 1: Like it's all over TikTok, Like it's so weird.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'm old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you want from me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm living in my past. Yes, I like listening
to holl And Oh so fucking sue me right. They're like,
just don't play it on the ride? Can you please
just not play it on the ride. I'm like, I
had this playlist which was from when we all drove
to San Francisco last year as a family, and I
was like, I want to play the San Francis songs
from my San Francisco mix, and I added a few
ACDC and Food Fighter songs to cool it up a
little bit, and I was like, no, this is a
good mix. I kind of looked it over. I didn't
see a lot of slow songs because some like old
like old like Robin, call your girlfriend, Call your girlfriend, Okay,
I start playing the mix every song. My kids were like, no,
next it would be like a kind of a slow
tailor swift song. They're like, mom, no, so just me
just constantly. The whole playlist, which was like forty songs,
took like fifteen minutes, just because I was, oh, right forward,
all right. I get to the end. Finally there's a
food fighter song. That's the last song, and I go,
see it's kind of cool, and Sandra goes, you just
added those in the tomb?
Speaker 1: Why you let Xander make a playlist?
Speaker 2: Well, they're too lazy, they're no get Yeah, you want
to listen to some music.
Speaker 3: Come up with a freaking songwiyeah, yeah, yeah. We listen
to Van Halen pretty much all the way. Don doesn't
stop talking. First of all, I know she a talk
talk talk talk talk talk talk, you know, right, because
Stephanie to sit next to her at dinner. Hi, can
we talk about that?
Speaker 2: Well? I didn't sit next to her for very long.
Speaker 1: I know, drama. I mean, should we do? Kaylin? Do
you think you can give me a coffee?
Speaker 2: I am.
Speaker 1: Sep deprived, is what I am?
Speaker 3: So okay, So what happened happened right back to the dinner. Okay, okay,
so we sat at dinner. It was you, me, Don
and Mike and Robin in a booth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we were gonna it was gonna be Kaylen
had a booth maybe with the other guys the cad
who shall not be named, and.
Speaker 1: But sorry, I was just yelling, call, do you request?
What did you do you need to?
Speaker 2: Did you want to?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Regular coffee or the yeah, the one from the machine.
Thanks Kayleen.
Speaker 2: This is so Howard Stern. We freaking love Kaylin so much.
Speaker 1: I know I love him.
Speaker 2: Uh what were we just saying? Oh? So we Okay,
it doesn't really matter. But the point I was just
going to make is that it was really cute because
our friend Jess Gonzalez, one of our listeners, brought her daughter, Lisa,
who's fourteen. Yes, adorable nose piercing like Sadie. Our kids
bonded right away. So I was like, why not, Jess,
you go make some friends, you go sit with someone
else and let the kids sit with Lisa. So they
got to have their own booth, right, So the three
kids sat in the booth and then the adults sat
in a different booth, right, which I just think was
more fun for them, more fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, it wasn't as fun for me because
having you sitting next to Dawn, I'm like, oh my god,
oh my god, oh my god, don just don't talk
her freaking ear off and don't repeat yourself.
Speaker 2: Well she didn't, but we didn't lost very like. No,
she's so sweet, by the way, God, I loved gorgeous.
Yeah she and she gorgeous. She's got this beautiful hair, yeah,
really cute, like shiny hair with a little cute bangs,
big blue eyes, blue eyes. Yeah, she's really gorgeous. And
she was I feel like she might have been a
little little drunk already.
Speaker 3: She was already a little buzzed. Yes, it's hard to
tell though, because thank you, Kaylin. It's hard to tell
because she's she does have the a little bit of
the brain injury issues and she has no problem talking
about it. So it's not like I'm talking behind her back,
of course, thank you. So she so she is a
little buzz but even and so you mixed buzz with
brain injury.
Speaker 2: Right, and you get you know, you know, you got
you get Bazaine Bazayane injury, bazane injury.
Speaker 3: I can't think this morning. By the way, I'm just
because I am sleep deprived.
Speaker 2: All right. So he's sitting there at dinner, yeah, right,
and her phone rings.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's talking loud. Okay, her daughter. She only has
one child, and it's her daughter. Her daughter is twenty four.
Speaker 2: She's twenty five or twenty five.
Speaker 3: She told me, Yeah, she's twenty five. She just met
this guy. So they're in love, they're gonna get married,
blah blah blah. And she's you know, she will always,
you know, pick up the phone if her daughter calls here.
So anyway, daughter calls and I hear and she's talking loud,
and she's like and in the middle of bingo, and
Mike Girsty's like done, and he's like kick her, kick
her under the I go done, Don, dunch don. And
I mean it wasn't like it was quiet in the room,
but it was a little you know, you're eating dinner
and it's a little it's rude to be on the phone,
and she's covering her mouth, which makes it louder, like
she thinks she's beating Yes, so it's actually even louder.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, don, and she is not.
Speaker 3: She is like teleported into some other dimension because it
was like, not, she wasn't listening to me, she wasn't
answering anybody. I kept hitting her under the table, I
kept elbowing her. Mike's going down, don't and nothing. Turns
out her daughter called her and it's just a long story,
and it's of course it's drama, but it was really
like unbelievable, like of all, basically, Don's and her best
friend broke up and her best friend maybe.
Speaker 2: We should tell about the story on Patreon.
Speaker 3: We could tell it on Patreon. Yeah, okay, I can
tell it on Patreon. So basically, it was like it
has it's been four years since. So you break up
with somebody, you have a falling out with that person,
and you don't see them, and then you run into them.
You don't see it for four years after growing up
with them and they're their aunt blah blah blah. So
her daughter ran into somebody that they hate and despise
now and it's been four years. So it was a
little bit like okay, but like go outside and.
Speaker 2: Talk to her, which she did, and then never came.
Speaker 3: Back, and then never came back because she was she
was calling her husband she was calling everybody.
Speaker 1: She was talking about it. She was pissed.
Speaker 3: She was too upset because she knew she came back in,
she wouldn't she would get another phone call, somebody, you know,
somebody would call her back.
Speaker 1: I don't know. She had a lot to talk about,
and then she wanted to talk to her daughter again.
I don't know.
Speaker 2: The funny part to me though, was while we were
sitting there, she just kept saying, like, I'm gonna go gamble.
So the first phone call she made, she was rolling
calls at the table. I don't know if you notice,
because then she was talking to the manager at like
Calient did okay, yeah, so she was like the phone
with She's like, it's the it's the manager. She was yeah,
She's like he's hooking me up like with you know,
he hooks me up with whatever. So I was like, oh,
that's that's so. It just was just funny to me.
I was trying to engage her and talk about gambling.
Uh huh. But she doesn't really gamble, like she doesn't
play live poker right or crops, because I was She's like,
just plays video video poker.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then so I was like, okay, she's very focused
on like getting out of here to go play poker, right,
because then also like she ordered food, but then she
was like, she was like, I can't eat. Why Why
couldn't she eat? Because that was before the drama.
Speaker 3: I don't know, because she's she's on a lot of medication.
I guess, I don't know, and she just she really
does not eat that much. And that there's another thing,
like when she's with me, I have to make sure
she eats because she she's had like a couple seizures
in the last two years. Oh yeah, she has seizures.
And her husband, who I love, and he doesn't drink
at all. He's just a normal like he doesn't do
anything really but he's very sweet. He's you know, drops her.
Speaker 1: He doesn't.
Speaker 3: He drives her to my house and he's like two limited,
limit to two glasses of wine and make sure she eats.
That's my direction, of course, you know, I try and
limit to two glasses of wine. You're not her mom,
I know, I know, but I do make sure I
to try to.
Speaker 2: Make sure you are. Yeah, you can't get your kids
to like.
Speaker 3: No, but yeah, so anyway, I don't know why she
wasn't hungry, and then Mike was like, I can't eat either.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: But he ate and then we ordered up dessert and
and that was fine, but like, yeah, that was don
at dinner. That was done at dinner.
Speaker 2: And my kids were being such kids. They were like
I was like, okay, you guys can order dessert, you know,
and they're like, oh okay. So then there's this whole
Kelly had this whole like dessert special, dessert menu or whatever,
and Sadie's like, okay, there's I want a brownie and
a cookie, and Issa wants uh whatever. I was like, both, Like,
it wasn't like a little cook it was like a giant.
Speaker 1: Cookie right, no, where do you think.
Speaker 2: I thought they're not We're a dessert.
Speaker 1: A cookie.
Speaker 2: And she was like, uh, we'll just have one of each.
No you won't. You're not gonna all sew. Yeah, it
was pretty funny. I was like, okay, guys, but so
they all had Sadia carro So then Sadie was like, okay,
I'll have neither of those done. I want carrot cake.
Speaker 1: I got carrot cake.
Speaker 2: It was huge. Yeah, the desserts were very big.
Speaker 3: And Stephanie stinker Rinker was giving me the evil eye
and I was like, why is she staring? And then
she was like looking at my dessert and she was
like like, you know, like like this big piece of
cake in front of me by myself. And then and
then afterwards the check, I was like, where is my check?
Speaker 1: Where is my check? Why?
Speaker 3: I like, everybody's leaving to go back to the hotel.
And then don ended up paying the check. That girl

Mark Garrigoes owns the hotel anymore because I think it changed.
It just recently changed hands and became the Sounder instead
of it was the v I don't know how this
worked but what it is. But so we get back
to our room and we go to undo the bed.
So we have one king bed and then we have
a pullout couch because anyway, so we pull out the
couch and the sheets are all stained. I took pictures
really because I had one thing I will so nasty.
It was stained like brown like stains, yellowish brownish stains
all over the sheets, and Xander was Xander's like a germophobe.
And Xander's like, oh, hell no, Mom, you can't because
I was going to sleep on there and give them
the bed. He's like, no, you cannot sleep on these sheets.
So I was like, no, it's fine, don't worry about it.
I'm sure it's clean. It's just stained, you know. I mean,
it's gross, but it's what, you know, I don't know
what it is. Could be blood, we don't know, but
you know anyway, So then but then Sadie was like,
Sadie wanted her own bed, and Sadie was like, I
don't care, I'll sleep on it. And I was like,
I felt like a bad kind of bad mom because
I was like, should I be letting her? And then
I was like except to her, it was like, if
you're sure, so Xander and I go get and got
in bed. So all three of us got in bed
for a little bit in the other room and we
watched Saturday Night Live right from like eleven forty five
to you know, almost the end. It's so it was
so bad. Yeah, have you seen it lately?
Speaker 1: No, I haven't watched it for a while.
Speaker 2: Could not have been less funny. I was like, Xander,
I swear to God when I was a kid, like
this was the funniest thing in town.
Speaker 1: Like I know me too.
Speaker 2: I know. Yeah, we weren't really laughing very much, but yeah,
so then we fell asleep. Also, I have to tell
this part of the story. We get to the room
and and you know, also a bunch of the people's
rooms weren't ready because they had to still had to
clean them. Some of our guests couldn't get into the
room until after seven pm. Yeah, so ours was almost ready.
Get to the room. The cleaning person is coming out
as I'm going in. She's like, oh, I'm supposed to
take pictures, but you can just you can just go in.
So the door's open. So we walk into the room
and like put our stuff down, and then we go
to close the door and it won't close, like literally
the hotel room won't close. So I was like, okay,
there must be something wrong I'm doing. So I try
to put in the code. There's like my access coach
to the door. I'm like, maybe it locked from the outside,
and now we can't like the door, it wouldn't close right,
Try try that. It doesn't do anything. Cannot close the door.
So now I'm on the thing with the help. There's
no concierge or front desk, so you have to just
go through their app. So on the app and the
woman's like, okay, I totally understand. I'm gonna, you know,
try to help you. Meanwhile, we have to go to
the meetup, so I'm like, okay, but I don't have long,
Like I already got checked into the room late, so
I have to go. So but I can't leave my
stuff in the room because the door won't shut. And
she's like, okay, understand, I'm trying to get somebody. So
they anyway, Finally Robin comes to our room because I
was like, Robin, we can't close our front door. She
comes to the room and believe me, we've tried and
tried and tried. It doesn't fit into the doorframe, was
actually the problem. So Robin just takes it and like what,
pulls her arm all the way back and then she
just slams it. Oh my god, and it push it.
It forces the door into the doorframe. So I was like, well, okay,
it closed the door, like, but we're gonna have to
do that every time. And sure enough, I'm sure it
really bothered the people, like in the rooms next door.
You had to, slin, you had to I mean like
crash the door in with all your might and then
it would close.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And of course, and it made Zambie super anxious because
he was just like, oh and the bolt. Well, you
know how doors and hotel rooms have a little thing
that swings over so that house keeping can't get in
if you're inside the room. Yeah, it was like off
was like hanging off like a loose tooth right top
of our door. They never all they had to do
was like screw it back in. I told him that too.
They didn't, they did, They didn't do anything. Wow, it
was just kind of funny. Okay, we need to talk
about story Worth. Yeah, that's the story. That's really what
that is. If I had story Worth kids got you, yes, exactly,
pass it along to the grandkids, you know what I mean.
They'd be like, did you ever hear the story about
moms in the hotel room with the stained sheets and
the bolt that was falling off the wall. Oh, here
it is, it's captured right pictures. And so then okay,
so next day, next week.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I woke up around eleven because our room,
our bed, Me and Don and I shared a bed,
and it was really comfortable.
Speaker 1: I have to say, yeah, it was the one. It
was really the whole room.
Speaker 3: Basically, the bed took up the whole room, so just
so it was a big enough bed for both of us,
and I slept like a baby. For some reason, I
was just so tired from driving the night before, dawn
coming over, we're drinking, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean.
Speaker 3: So I just I slept like a rock. Don was
up and at it with Mike. They went to Starbucks twice.
They were by the pool. They were yeah, they were up.
So they were by the pool and then they finally
came in and they were like, let's go eat breakfast.
And so we were talking about yeah, Wilmam Frida's. But
we were just lazy, so we went the restaurant there
and so we ate breakfast. Jen came and ate breakfast
with us. Mike thought Jen was cute.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, yeah, except Mike lives in Arizona.
Speaker 2: She's a little for her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she she she needs a she's looking for a husband. Yeah,
Mike's already been married, has a child.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, had breakfast, Jen left, Mike left. Now it's
just Don and I and we got nobody. I don't
have the kids.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I don't know. Let's let's go sit
by the pool for a little bit. Let's check the traffic.
Speaker 3: Sat by the pool for a little bit, and then
came the odyssey of getting the car charged because.
Speaker 2: Well this the wait. So you so you took your
you checked out of the room and like put your
stuff in.
Speaker 3: The car, put the stuff in the car, sat by
the pool. Yeah, chit chatted.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 3: And now I'm like, okay, I asked the hotel, where
do I is a Tesla? There's no Tesla chargers here?
Where can he says, Bank of America up the street. Okay,
go there. I don't see any charging anything. I don't
know what he was talking about. Now, Don's like, I
want to go.
Speaker 1: To the case. I want to go back.
Speaker 3: How about we go to Aqua Colliente. I'll call my
guy see if they have a Teslain charging whatever, and
then we can have lunch over there and then she
can gamble some more and we can charge up the
car and we'll go.
Speaker 2: Okay, and do they have a pool there?
Speaker 1: They do have a pool. They do have a pool there.
Speaker 2: It's like a hotel, right.
Speaker 1: It's like yeah, but I'm kind of like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I kind of want to gamble too, Like yeah, okay,
no craps tables, but all right, maybe I want to
play something. So uh we go, we drive to the
Aqua Collientem oh. So the guy says, yes, we have
we we don't have charging stations, but there's a gas
station across the street that has charging stations. Great, so
we go there, gas station across the street. It's not
a Tesla charger, which fine, because you should, me as
a Tesla owner, should have the adapter that you just
put it on and you can charge it. But of course,
me as a Tesla owner, I sold that package with
my other car, and I know that I got one
with this car, so I don't know where it is.
Speaker 1: I think I took it out. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It wasn't in my car, which I'm pretty good about
keeping those those things in the car. So I'm like,
did I sell the one thing I had? Or but
I got a new car so that car should have
had it.
Speaker 1: Where is it? I don't know?
Speaker 3: So I we just we didn't have the adapter, so
now we can't. Now Don's like, oh, so now we're like,
where is there a place with it? Well, okay, so
we look, we go to one. So on my navigation thing,
where's the next Tesla supercharger. It's three miles away, all right,
So we go three miles away. It's it's Uh, there's
only two. It's at a hotel. They only have two plates,
only two chargers, and they're both taken. They're both on
the charge. Okay, so when's the next one. So then so, oh,
we asked that hotel. They go Walgreens hasm or no
he did, he say, we went to this Walgreens. Don
goes inside and asks the guy and he says, go
to Walmart. My girlfriend has a Tesla. She gets a
charge at Walmart. Anyway, two hours of driving around, two
hours of driving around looking for a charger, and at
the point I could have made it home with maybe
ten percent. I could have gotten home, but I would
have had like ten percent. I wanted to get a
little extra charge at this point. Now we ain't making
it home, so we better find a charging station. A
Tesla chargings.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So and then Don has the idea, oh, Marango.
She calls them and they say, we do have Tesla
charger stations.
Speaker 3: So we go and I goes Marango's on the way home,
the Marango casino, Marengo's on the way home. Fine, So
then we go there they have a Tesla charger and
then by the time we get there it's like seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: It's already seven at night. Yeah, had that happen? I
don't really gonna go to the casino for lunch. I
don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean time flew. I don't I don't even.
Speaker 2: Haven't done anything in the meantime. No drive around.
Speaker 1: We've just been driving. Yeah, we've just been driving looking
for chargers.
Speaker 2: You never had eaten any food?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we are like looking for a charge So,
I mean we must have to like seven or eight
places on the thing that it was either they were
all taken up by a charger or it wasn't a
Tesla charging station, it was something else.
Speaker 1: So so then okay, so then finally they have it.
Speaker 3: We get there, Yeah it's dusk, okay, And we go inside,
we get something to eat, and now she's ready to gamble,
like oh god, and she's like, we won't stay long.
She goes, look, I won four grand and forty five minutes.
Let me just let's just give it like a half
an hour forty five. She goes, you can gamble too,
I'll give you a hundred dollars. She put one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: In the machine next to me.
Speaker 3: I learned how to play deuces wild, and it was
good because I was learning how to play, because you
can see like it was teaching me how to play
as well going and then I started getting bored with that,
and then I go, I'm gonna go have a cigarette.
So I find the smoking area and there's the slot machines.
I went up to two hundred dollars playing slots, and
then I lost it in like a minute. It was
just gone because I was like placing max bet, max Bet.
I don't know at most of the time. I mean
I lost it very quickly, and I was like, all right,
time to go. So then I went back and got her.
When I went back to get her, she was up
four grand. Another for another four grand, but she was
down four a grand. She was she got down pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: Because she'd gotten down to zero.
Speaker 1: She got pretty close to zero, and then she went
up to four grand again.
Speaker 2: So she left Palm Springs for four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she lost it. I mean she won it and
then lost it and won it again. I mean, I mean, yeah,
that's what don does.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow. So then what then you drove home at
like then we got home at like ten thirty. Oh,
you got home at ten thirty we got home at

Speaker 1: At ten thirty, eleven thirty.
Speaker 3: We got home at like twelve because it was only
an hour and a half drive, which was nice. You know,
it was two last it was like an hour and
thirty minutes it said to get home. So we got

Speaker 2: Yeah, see, it was like three hours there, yeah, two
and a half back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What time did you leave to go home on Sunday?
Speaker 2: Uh, Mike, like eleven? Yeah, because we checked out before

he lives in Arizona. By the time we got it

of a very quick turnaround because you know, yeah, starting
