p S. And he's on Instagram and he's an artist
and he did Molly's pictures and he did one with
Phil and he I get him to do these paintings
for people like in my family who had dogs that
passed away, and he does an amazing job, like insane.
You have to know your dog. When you look at it,
you'll see this really looks like my dog. Like it's
incredible what he does. So, yeah, he's doing it. And
he was all excited to text me. He's like, it's
almost done. I'm going to have it shipping out like
next week, so maybe by the time. Yeah. So yeah,
you sent me pictures of the work he does, and
then I started crying.
Speaker 3: Then I sent you asked me for photographs, and one
of the photographs that I loved that I didn't use
because it's not enough of her personality. But it's oh,
that's so cute picture of her snout on your first
snout on your phone. Oh no, I put it on.
I put it as my wallpaper. It's so cute. Yeah,
we don't deserve the dogs. So you were saying, I'm sorry.
You were saying, Okay, Italia's home, no sunny.
Speaker 1: Oh she's coming home Tuesday of next week of this
you mean like tomorrow. No, yes, she's coming home tomorrow. Okay, yeah,
today's our last day. And then Sonny got home over
the weekend, and yeah, I was happy to see Sonny.
Phil was so happy to see Sonny. So I got
the house all decorated for Christmas, which was a lot,
you know. I think I had to go get the
fresh cut Christmas tree, and then doing the lights on
the tree is always the I hate. It's the bane
of my existence. Every year it's like worse because you
got to think, like you put the plug is it
the female or the male plug at the top, and
then you got to which one's going to be at
the one at the bottom, and all the lights still
working and all this string's not working, so I'll get
rid of that one put in another like such a
pain in the ass. But I got a good sized
Christmas tree. Then I put the lights, you know, so
I spent like so I was having a Christmas party
at my house with a bunch of my ABC girlfriends
from ABC. Usually it's like four or five of us,
but this year we we got together some other friend
of ours that we used to work with, was that's
not in our small group, reached out and she had
a brunch. Recently so we saw a couple other girls
and then we decided Suzanne and I throw the party.
We threw it last year at my house, so we
did it again this year that we would open it
up to these other couple other girls to make it.
So there's like about ten of us, you know the thing,
and so do a white elephant. No, we don't do
any gifts. We just have like we'd so we did
last year we did, so this year we did appetizers.
I did the CHARMUDERI trey the charcooter each a. I
did like a board sharmuta board. So I did like
the big with all the meads and then and then
I did a big thing of fruit and all that.
And then Suzanne comes up with these Instagram cock to
holiday cocktails and so she makes big picture of those,
and then we did this other thing like she found
on Instagram, Like you get the little Tito's vodka bottles
and you pour it out, but then you pour you
bless you, thank you. You mix it with cranberry juice
you pourt back into the Tito. So it's like a
little cranberry and vodka cocktail with like a like a
pretty straw and like some rosemary around the thing and whatever.
And then in their cocktail glasses they got like candy
canes hanging out of it. So it was very festive.
And then so I got the house all decorated. I
got their stockings out. I want to get one for
Natalia's roommate who's going to be at our house a lot.
Oh yeah, I'm going to get one that says her
name on it personalized. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I know she's going to be there a lot,
and you know, she says she doesn't she's not very
close with her family. So got their their stockings hung up.
Phil of course, like walk, he goes to the Christmas tree.
I'm standing in my room and I hear gloop loop
loop loopop, and I'm like, oh, what the fuck is
He's drinking the water out of the Christmas tree bucket,
Like what the hell? So then I come out. Then
then he's like I go and then he gets up
there because I'm like, no, don't you know, Phil, No?
And then he starts wagging his tail. He knocks over
like a whole bunch and breaks like a whole bunch
of ornaments. And then I got to clean it up
and you know whatever. But then so I had that
whole like day before of setting up for the party,
and then and then everybody came to the party and
it was fun and we all hung out. I got
like my backyard fixed up. I got a big umbrella
with like lights. It came with led lights that it
charges during the day, solar panel lighting, and it was
really cool. And then they got some furniture out there
for everybody to sit outside because it was warm over
the weekend, so people were like outside, you know, going
in and out. And then we had and then we
ordered like gourmet pizzas from Pit Fire Pizza and a
couple salads, and then the food came and said then
like the karaoke starts, even though I don't have karaoke,
but the girls are like, we want to do karaoke.
I'm like, I don't. I can play like Spotify. And
then everybody starts singing, you know, duets. They're doing duets.
Now it's like one o'clock and I'm like, when's everybody going.
I'm tired, Like my eye was just ready.
Speaker 3: One am is like late.
Speaker 1: It was late. Yeah. Yeah. These are like not a bar,
I know, but they're loving moms. Good, you're good. They
never get out, like barely ever, so they're like, you know,
they got the kids are covered and they don't have
to get up in the morning, so they're like they're
they're ubering it. How young are these women? They are
a little some of them are a little younger than
us because they still have young kids. Like Suzanna and
I are like, we're we we don't have any kids
at home anymore, you know, the our kids are gone. Yeah,
but a lot of them are still like, oh, I
gotta you know, we got to go to the baseball
game and this and this. I got my husband to
take the kids to the you know, dance recital. And
I'm like, they still have little kids, Like I guess
they still do, you know, that's what happens.
Speaker 3: I remember when Sadie and Xander were in middle school
and there were moms there who had an older kid
that was already in college. And I always thought those
were such aliens. I was like, what, like, yeah, I
know a kid in college, like you must be so old,
like and now I'm that person right now, even older. Yeah,
I'm the person that should could easily have grandkids, like
I know, but now I'm that person now. When I
see people that are maybe not my age but a
little bit younger than me, that have a kid that's
like in middle school, I'm like, wait, what.
Speaker 1: What that's how we That's what Suzanne and I were saying,
like because his ants spent the night. We were like
talking after everybody left in my bed, and it's like, yeah,
like freaking Anna still has like, you know, a middle schooler.
Like wow, it just feels like once you've raised your kids,
you feel like everybody, but you know, not everybody's the
same age. Everybody's different and they you know, people had
kids later or they're younger or whatever, but every woman
that was there basically had kids still in school. You know.
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel really good though in some ways, Like
in some ways I miss like, oh the raising part.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 3: There's wonderful, wonderful things about having older kids, and they
are such good company and they're so fun and I
love seeing like how they're turning out. But yeah, sometimes
I miss them being young, like going, oh, I still
have that ahead of me, right because I don't even
have another year of high school, Like this is it? Yeah,
everything I do right now with the kid in high school.
It's like, this is the last time we're going to do.
Speaker 1: This, you know.
Speaker 3: But there's something also kind of cool about being like
I did that.
Speaker 1: I did it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: That like from the time of them being babies and
worrying about every noise they made and like, yeah, oh
my god, are they sick? Oh what do you do
about this?
Speaker 1: What is rash?
Speaker 3: And shit?
Speaker 1: All the rashes that came and went like what is that?
Oh my god? Yeah, and and yeah, the illnesses and
like thinking like, oh, you know, I hope I don't
get the phone call from school that one of them
fell and broke their arm. You know, like they made well,
you made it through. Not saying that they couldn't still,
but like, you know, you made it through that. That part,
that part's cool, Yeah, the part of them being super dependent, right,
And also that feeling that I had all.
Speaker 3: The time when they were young, which is like everybody
knows better than everybody knows more than I do, you know,
And now I realize there's a lot of ways to
skin a cat, you know what I mean. There's like
my way of parenting well, because it's always better when
you're like, well, the kids came out pretty good, you
know what I mean. When you're baking them, you're like, oh,
I could have really fucked it up right. It's ingredient
right that I put in, which is like leniency or
buying them things they want or all the things that
you go like, what if I'm really fucking them up right?
But then you go, oh, look what good kids they are?
Speaker 1: Exactly Yeah, like they turned.
Speaker 3: I knew what I Yeah, they went on instinct, right.
Speaker 1: I think that's what I think too. But like my
kids are both of our all of our kids are
great kids. They're good human beings. You know, they have
good work ethics, they get good grades. Now not my
kids when they were in school, but now they are,
you know, and like it feels good to know, like
they're okay. They they're out in the world, they can
take care of themselves, they live on their own, and
you know, it just feels yeah, I guess I must
have did something right, you know.
Speaker 3: Although I walked into Elbie's room this morning and I
was like, are you fucking kidding me? It's you can't walk,
it's all there's trash bags of clothes that I guess
she filed into this trash bag there as stuff that
she could sell on like deep Op or depop or
Poshmark or all the places. Yeah, but that's been that
way since before she left for college. And now she's
almost done with her second year of you know what
I mean, it's like, I go, LB, you can't, like,
this can't be our house, and she's like, I know, right,
but what am I going to do?
Speaker 1: Ground?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Now now? And it's our room.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't understand you know the movie Cocoon
where there were those big pods. Yes, imagine if the
room had like a bed and like a shelf with
a TV on it, and the rest of it was
full of pods, like giant pods that humans. I mean,
it's like bags of clothes and piles of other clothes,
and I it's crazy.
Speaker 1: That she has ambition to sell them, but she's not
even starting. The entrepreneur and he is how you got
to look at it. I mean, she's got to get
that going. That's its whole, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: She's gonna have to then figure out the shipping and
the I don't know, right, good luck Albie.
Speaker 1: Does does Sadie know how to do that? Sell clothes online?
Or is she I mean, or is it an Elbie
learn Yeah, Sadie would be more resourceful about it than Albie. Right,
Olbie would be would half ass that kind of thing.
Maybe she should give her a commission, like if she
finds it and helps her.
Speaker 3: No, she Sadie should keep the money. Ain't none of
these kids bought their own clothes. That's in the first place,
that's you know what I mean. Well, maybe Albi bought clothes.
She can't keep track of stuff, you know. Albie like
wears clothes, doesn't want to wash it, so just buy
his new clothes, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, you get it, I get it, I get it.
It's funny when we were taking all here next week,
when we were talking to Elbe about her little outfits
that she was wearing, like you should have seen Italian's
outfit for Subtronic the rave. She went to, I'm like,
I can see through your shirt, you know, like you're
not wearing a bra, Like what the hell?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Well, no, I'm gonna put paistis on her. But like
still like what and then like little teeny tiny booty short,
like she looks half naked, she looks like she's not
wearing any underwear. The shirt is just barely covering her ass,
and then she's got the booty shorts. Right, But that's
how they all. They all dress like us.
Speaker 3: It's the rave culture though too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like when I go into Santa Barbara, I
drive through the streets to get to her place, and
every girl is like, I mean, they're just like either
at a bikini top or nothing. Like every all girls
are just what a time to be a young dude, right,
I mean, my god, I don't think I was a
dressing like that, Like I would wear a bikini but
at the beach, not just out and about running errands
at Target where I see these girls just like nothing
sports broad like tank top thing that's weird. Oh yeah
makes you feel old, It's like, oh my god, it
really does. But yeah, then Sonny's back, and then the
sunny we were watching football and you could tell like
he he was like, uh, it's Sunday football, and he
was like watching it. When he watches it in the
living room, it's because he wants somebody to talk to,
you know, like he doesn't want to just sit in
his room. So then we just and he's got all
four games up on the screen, and and that was
like I think I was texting around that like.
Speaker 3: It was said, I'm talking sports with sony oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, YoY yo YOI. It went on and on and
on for an hour, and like what are you gonna do?
I'm not gonna be like what do I have to do?
Speaker 3: You know? Like, but like you can't be like I'm bored.
Speaker 1: I am like I mean, sometimes I'll start zoning out
thinking about something else and then I'll go, oh, he's
still talking. What's he talking about? Now?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: This quarterback went to this college and this this this
coach is this age and he's the old what I
didn't even know. He just was going on and on
for an hour. But what are you supposed to do? Like,
you can't go like I don't care about sports, I
don't know what you're like, right, you don't want to
do that.
Speaker 3: But one thing that works, because it's what they do,
is you can always act like, oh, I just got
a text, like no, keep going, I'm just reading a text, right,
and you can like scroll Facebook or something.
Speaker 1: Well that sometimes what I do. But he doesn't care.
He doesn't. He doesn't. Yeah, I'll be on my phone.
But then if I'm on my phone. Then I really, sincerely,
I'm not listening, and I have to listen a little
bit so I can at least be like, oh, that's
like I don't want to like if he's saying something
that and I go, oh, wow, that's cool, but it's
not cool. It doesn't make sense for me to.
Speaker 3: Say that, like somebody's out with an injury, right, right,
you're right.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, right, wrong, yeah, yeah, Like you're like cool, cool, right,
He's like, no, I'm telling you this guy had an
injury and he was like my number one fantasy football player,
so I lost fantasy because of him.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 1: I can't do that, right, you know, but you know
it's it's but I'm like so happy to have him home.
I love having Sunny home. It's fun. And then we
ate dinner last night and hung out, I watch football
and blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: And now let me ask you this, when it's just
the two of you, do you make dinner for the
two of you or do you just order some food?
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll make dinner for the two of us, like
pasta or something, or salmon or something easy.
Speaker 3: Steak.
Speaker 1: He loves steak and steak's easy. But last night it
was Sunday night, so we just he went, I was
craving pizzas, so we got pizza. Last night. We had it.
We had tons of leftovers from the party, from my
Christmas party from pit fire. Oh okay, so we got
we had pizza. But and then today, as I'm about
to leave to come here, he's like, when are you leaving?
I go like in five minutes. He goes, can you
make me a sandwich really quick? I love your sandwiches
because I had a ton of Italian meat and cheeses
and he saw that and he was like, like, you
make the best sandwiches. I'm like, all right, all right,
hurry up. I got to toast the bread, like you know,
he can make it himself.
Speaker 3: I know. But it's so nice to be out.
Speaker 1: I know. It does make me happy. When he asked, like, yeah,
of course, you know. But then he'll probably be with
friends tonight. So yeah, so when he's home for dinner,
A lot of times he's not around for dinner, he'll
he'll be out with his friends. So then he's going
to be He wants to go back to Oregon next
weekend for the big Oregon game, and he wants to
road trip with his friends that are going to drive
out there, and he's just going to go for like
two days and then come back and then we're going
to Chicago. So he has that going on. Yeah, so
he's road tripping into Oregon in a couple of days.
Speaker 3: And Natalia's Natalia.
Speaker 1: She's back, not going to Oregon. It's so funny.
Speaker 3: Sorry, she's not going to Chicago.
Speaker 1: No, she's She's gonna go to her dad. It's funny
because all of her to all her friends call her Natalia,
and I call her Natalia and her friends because didn't
somebody like get mad at you said.
Speaker 3: Somebody a long time ago was like, oh my god,
you don't even know how to pronounce her daughter's name.
And I was like, I feel like I've said this
to you before. I was like, I feel like Lynette
has a bit of an accent in my mind. I
was like, I feel like her name is pronounced Natalia,
but you say it like Natalia. Yes, you got a
little jersey, and yeah, I know. But then I so
then I asked you and you were like, no, it
is it's Natalia. And I was like, oh fuck.
Speaker 1: But it's not so.
Speaker 3: But her dad and her brother call her Natalia, right,
which you recently told me because we went over this,
and I was like, okay, yeah, so fuck off, I
don't feel.
Speaker 1: So bad, right right. And then all of her friends
call her Natalia. Well, they all call her nat which
I don't really I am not a fan of, but yeah,
they all call her like Natty Natty, they call her
Natty nat Yeah, I call her tg but yeah. Yeah.
And then her friend said to me like, cute. Yeah,
her friends are like, you say Natalia's name different, and
she's like, I know, my mom has like a twang.
And I go, I say Natalia, but you can call
her Natalia because you know, I do feel.
Speaker 3: Like there are genuinely two different ways to say that name,
though there is, yeah, I think there is. There is.
There are people named in Natalia, and there's people named

Speaker 3: Yeah, why were we saying about uh Natalia's name oh
or test tap oh? And just that she's going to
be with her dad for Chris.
Speaker 1: She's going with her dad and hopefully Phil. I still
haven't gotten confirmation back. If Phil's able to go, I
would think so, but I keep asking, did you ask him?
Did you have so? No, I'll get out. I'll let
you know. I'll let you know.
Speaker 3: So I mean, why wouldn't he be able to watch
his dog too? Yeah, I don't unless he's traveling or something.
But what he's not traveling if Natalie's going to be there, so.
Speaker 1: I don't show on Christmas? Yeah, I don't write. So
I mean we're gone from Tuesday to Sunday, so I
don't know, or he's got playing he's traveling.
Speaker 3: Is she traveling with them?
Speaker 1: No, that's what I mean. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: Also, then if she's staying there, couldn't she watch Phil?
Or if she's coming back home then she could take.
Speaker 1: Phil with her. No, yeah, she can watch Phil. It's
her friends that I don't trust. But because you really
got to be or you don't want to board him, No,
I do have that option too, So anyway I'll find out.
But yeah, see, Okay.
Speaker 3: On our last show, we talked a bunch about the
idea of getting another dog, and that is the one
thing that I'm like already because Penelope.
Speaker 1: I couldn't board her. Yeah, I just she would.
Speaker 3: They would have had to keep her, they would they
they wouldn't. I don't think they would have let her
around a bunch of other dogs. I mean maybe they.
I would have to have been like, I don't know
how she's gonna do in a big playgroup with a
bunch of dogs.
Speaker 1: Right, And you don't want to find out when you
have to board her, right, That's not the way to
find out. No, you know when you're gone or something.
Speaker 3: I'll never forget. I know we've talked about this a
million times, but I'll never forget that leaving her. We
went to Great Wolf Lodge and I used that Rover
dot com or whatever, and she stayed with We went
over to the woman's house who was going to watch
her in her house, and she had two other little dogs.
Speaker 1: I hadn't had.
Speaker 3: Penelope that long. I was like, Penelope's the sweetest thing ever.
Speaker 1: She's so sweet.
Speaker 3: We met their dogs. She did fine, left her there.
It was only we were only gone like one night, right,
maybe we were gone two nights. I remember it was
for the twins' birthday. And then I get that text
from her that Penelope bit her dog, one of her
dogs on the nose, and the way she said it
to me too, like she was trying to be nice.
She was somebody who had worked with the rescue where
we got Penelope. Okay, it was a coincidence. Even though
I found her on Rover. Maybe I didn't find her
on Rover. Maybe the woman who owned was like, try her,
and she worked for rover dot com so she did
professional pet sitting and she was like, hey, just to
let you know, Penelope did bite my dog and like
drew blood and like unprovoked. Like she said, I was
eating pizza. I wasn't like even making the dogs jealous.
She wasn't like giving pizza to one of her dogs,
not Penelope. She was eating pizza, she said, and all
of a sudden people just pounced on the other dog
and bit it. So that made me not feel good
about leaving her, right right, I know, like I can't
guarantee she's not gonna Then I was like, well, I
can't leave her with anybody who has other dogs. And
most of the time people that watch dogs are watching
a couple at a time.
Speaker 1: Right, that's true, So then that's just whatever, did you
ever have to leave her.
Speaker 3: So one time I left her with when we went
to Crystal Beach. When we went to Canada, a guy
who had worked at the rescue was like, I got it,
she can stay with me. I do have a pack,
but she's going to do fine. He was like, more
in control. Yeah, and she did fine. They even had
a cat and she was fine with the cat. But
after that, I had to hire somebody. When we went
to San Francisco, I had to hire somebody to sleep
at my house. OHI yeah, I remember that, and it
was hella expensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's the only thing is what do you
do when you go out of town?
Speaker 3: But could you get Jen to stay at your house?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I could? I also have her Yeah yeah, well
I think she's going to be out of town for
the holidays. But I do have that other place that
that fill has been to, so I could, you know,
he can go there. But I think I think I
think she he'll be fine going with Italia. Yeah, it'll
be fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean so we got
that and I went to brunch yesterday. It was Gina
Kimmel's birthday. Oh, big birthday. So we went. There was
a brunch that was could not have been further from
my house eleven am on Sunday, like all the way
across town, like Culver City.
Speaker 3: I knew you were gonna say Culver City really like
what it could be further from Lynette in Culver Culver
City be the worst place to try to get to, yes,
but for like a Sunday morning, no traffic was pretty easy.
Speaker 1: But that was nice too, Like haven't seen, you know,
some of some of the cousins that I used to
see all the time, Like they were there, you know,
and Gina, I haven't seen her in a while, and
her sister and Melissa was there. It was really it
was nice. Melissa and I went on in on a
little purse from an antique store because Gina loves antiques
and she likes little like anything from an antique store.
And so yeah, that was fun. And it was like
a little French bistro. So there's all these things on
the menu, like what's a monsieur croquette, croquette croquette.
Speaker 3: I don't like French food. Yeah I didn't say it.
I hope I don't insult any French cheese, but I
don't like their food.
Speaker 1: It was really, really rich. It was. I got an
open face like croissant sandwich with ham and like melted cheese,
but then also like bechamel sauce on top, Like didn't
need all that, just put it with the chiam and
cheese and call it a day. And then it was
like two layers. It was like a big like double
layer of it. Too much, too much meats, too much everything. Yeah,
I guess I'm not a big fan either, because there
wasn't anything really on the and then it was like
so much sauce, so much sauce. Everything was saucy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, croissant, it's like the most buttery croissant. Like I
know people are going to be like that's that's blasphemy,
Like that's where the croissant comes from. Yeah, I get it,
But like the ones here, if you go to the
right place, it doesn't it's not like there's not butter like.
Speaker 1: Dripping in your mouth. Oh like that.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: No, it was very very like very rich and heavy
and had to stomach ache the rest of the day.
Like oh, but but yeah, it was you know, it
was it was fun. It was nice. You know, you
spent a couple hours out there catching up. She really
wants me to like buy a house in Palm Springs.
Oh really, Like she lives out there now, and she's like,
I'm telling you, like the gated community is really cool,
and you know there's all these other my friend just
bought a house out there, and my little she lives
in like a senior citizen's.
Speaker 3: Gated community over fifty five.
Speaker 1: Yes, and she's not even that old, like, but she
likes she likes the senior and her boyfriend love that
kind of lifestyle where she can just go, you know,
and they can have like play marj On on Sunday nights,
or they can have like little like uh outings, you know,
like we're going to go into the city on Saturday
with a bunch of us and we're gonna go to
this new restaurant like she likes to. It's like she
wants to be on a cruise. Director like be on
a on a cruise the whole time about her whole life.
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 3: Friday night. There's a magic show that's right at the
community Yes, at the community center, Yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: And she's like she came me like the whole tour
when she first bought the house there and she's like,
I'm telling you, you would love it here. You would
love it here. And I'm like, I don't know. First
of all, my kids aren't really gonna like it if
I'm living in Palm Springs, right, I'm gonna live there.
But but yeah, she's just trying to sell me on
to it. I'm like, you know, I don't know. Well,
slow your role, but I'm not that age yet, i
don't know, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3: But are you still thinking like possibly moving to Chicago
or are you getting over that idea?
Speaker 1: No, I would like to, but I just I need
to have a home base for the kids here. So
I think after the new year, I'm going to start
looking for houses to buy, probably like because I'm renting
this house, probably like maybe in the Pasadena area, you know,
and you know, and Gina knows that, and she's like, well,
you could get you know, bigger bang for your buck
than you will in Pasadena out there, like obviously, right,
I know, but it's in Palm Springs, right, That's why
there's only what's the only community out there. There's the
senior citizens and the gays, like right, right, you know, yeah,
and it's Palm Springs. But that's like a place you
want to go on the weekends once in a while, right,
I can't be like I don't. I don't think I'm
going to live even told me that she doesn't live
there full time. I know why they travel around and
they travel a lot. Yeah, she's there more and more
often now, but they do. Our big travelers. They have
an RV and they go, like you know, I don't know,
six months out of the year, different places like drive
to go visit her sister in Phoenix or wherever you know.
And that's just tell you how awful that sounds, isn't then?
Speaker 3: Like, first of all, I don't like driving to the store,
like I know, like I imagine me like in a
fucking RV, right, like praying that we don't get in
an accident every five minutes?
Speaker 1: Like now cars too big?
Speaker 3: Are we gonna get Are we going to clear that time?
Speaker 1: All?
Speaker 3: Like? Yeah, that would be me the whole time. That's
just your life for six months.
Speaker 1: Oh what kind of Wi Fi do you get? You know,
how are you getting Wi Fi all the time? Where?
You know, if you're stopping in an RV park, do
they have Wi Fi? Do you have to find out ahead?
Of time maybe, I know. And they're big on watching
their shows that you know. And then her boyfriend, praiys
a lot of video games, so he's got to have
his WiFi. I don't know, like that's just that's what
they like to do and they can work from wherever
they are in his RV. And then but she's got
it like all's like, you know, she's got the bedroom
with the big bed, and she's got the TV, and
then the living room and the kitchen. She's got it
all set up like it's cool. Maybe for a week.
Maybe for a week that's a long time maybe, But
for them, no, it's like months, they're gone with that thing.
Speaker 3: I feel like one of the benefits of being an adult,
like a whole adult, is you don't have to do
shit you don't want to do. Like I never liked
camping when I was a kid. Well, the only thing
I liked about camping was that my parents since well
you know what, no very few things I.
Speaker 1: Liked about camping.
Speaker 3: If I was to like anything, it was because I
didn't have any involvement in like, you know, they'd make
me help put up the tent. We had this tent
trailer that you would crank crank it open, and that
would be like the beds are on either and there's
like a little sink in there. But you know, I
liked maybe going for a hike like once and like
seeing the stars, and I was over it. I don't
like camping food. I don't like trying to like go
to hot dog over a fire, like none of that
is for me.
Speaker 1: Like how about going to the bathroom and taking a
shower and those bathrooms out there? No, thank you no.
Speaker 3: And it's not like I'm spoiled. It's not like, oh,
I would only want to go glamping. I don't want
to do any of it now. And what I love
about being an adult is like both and neither John
or I have ever been like we should go camping.
I think one time we were like, you know, our
kids have never experienced camping, and then I think both
of us realized, like, yeah, and if they want to
experience that, they can do it when they're adults.
Speaker 1: Exactly. I don't need it, right, I don't like it,
and I don't have to writ I never I never
went camping with my family and didn't go anywhere. But
but Natalia went camping for the first time recently, like
with her friends, and it's like, yeah, I never took you.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: She didn't say, hackeme, you never took us camping. Yeah,
after she went, she knew why she never took She's like, no,
I don't. I can see why, Like it's not form.
And she's like, I did it. I'm good. I don't
need to do it, right, I know. Yeah, let them
do it with their friends, right, Sunny went with his friends. Like,
they've done it. They've gone with their friends. That's what
camping's for, by the way, go with your friends. Totally fun,
totally I That was one of the things.
Speaker 3: I didn't like about camping was all that forced family time.
I never like my family anyway, and they didn't particularly
like me.
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, why do we all need to
be forced to be together in different Like what are
we doing?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Right? Right?
Speaker 3: The only time I had fun now I'm remembering is
when my parents because my brother and sister were so
much younger than I was. So my sister is nine
and a half years younger than me. My brother's seven
years younger, so they were way younger than me, and
they were closer in age to each other, so they
had each other. So sometimes my parents, just so that
I wouldn't be a pain in the ass the whole time,
let me bring a friend. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Then it was more fun. Still not fun, right, but
more tolerable.
Speaker 3: Tolerable, that's because it's so you have something to do
with a friend, right, this forced family time?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no. I remember our next door neighbor
had this big camper that my mom planted palms tree
so she could hide it because she didn't like looking
at it. But every like fourth of July, he would
take all the kids in the neighborhood and they would
go camping, and my mother didn't let. My parents didn't
want they wouldn't let me go with them. They were
not I was not allowed to go camping with them,
Like why because my parents were like this like Italian,
just I didn't They didn't like me spending the night
at people's houses, so they wouldn't let. So I was
so devastated every year because everybody the neighborhood woul leave
and it's the fourth of July. So now I'm just
stuck at home with my parents doing nothing. They're all
going camping, and I got to watch them pack up
and I got like a tear coming down my face
as they're driving away every like July third off to
their camping trip. It sucked. But then when I got
older and I went I think the first emone camping
was our high school, the Magnet School that we would
go to Carpenderrhea and they did like a camping trip.
Right then I did that with friends and then I
was like, yeah, I don't like camping. This is not great.
I like waking up on the ground, sleeping on the
uh and then the morning comes and it gets hot
inside the tent and then of course with my afro,
like all the girls are going to take showers, but
I can't wash my hair, you know, because I don't
want my hair to frizz up and look like, you know,
crazy crazy nutty hair. It just was bad all around.
Speaker 3: Did not like it always feel dirty. Yeah, and I
don't like the feeling of I don't like being barefoot.
Speaker 1: I don't like my feet feeling dirty. No, I don't
like eat it.
Speaker 3: It makes me crazy. It's a sensory thing, I guess,
but I've always been like that. Yeah, don't really like
sand I mean, I'll go barefoot on the sand, but I.
Speaker 1: Don't love it. Do you have to like wash your
feet before you get in bed? Yes, yeah, I don't
like there's like after walking around, even during the summer,
you know, I'll go inside and outside really quick barefoot
before I get in bed. I got to get the
white bees and white my feet down. Yes, hate it, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: But especially like dirt, like it's it's one thing to
be on the beach, but just to be outside like
walking and oh.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know, so real quick before we wrap,
I just want to tell you that. So the kids
had their big this is a positive thing. They had
their big music show that was on Saturday night so
today's Monday, and they just killed it.
Speaker 1: It was so fun. I put it.
Speaker 3: I posted the video. Oh you did, oh, I posted
a video on our page of Xander.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: Xander's band is Xander Lilyle Crocodile. Their other like really
good friend and their drummer is awesome. So their guyliner
the one they play out but they also that's their
school band, right, the same band, and they just they
were so good.
Speaker 1: And Sadie played in her.
Speaker 3: Band, which is called the Wiggles, and her band did
really great too, and then they did songs where they
guested on each other's song. So Xander did some guests
Oh Sadies with Sadie's band and they guessed it on
other people's bands and Sony parents helped me. I did
my opportunity, drawing raised like a few thousand dollars for
the music program. You didn't hear me bitching about it
leading up, and I'll tell you why, because I've I've
kind of peace out pieced out out it a little
bit from the the bigger school stuff. I worked with
hard for our big fall festival, right, but then I
was like, you know what, I'm doing my thing for
the music teacher. I will go judge speech and debate
when that happens, when Xander gets into that, and other
than that, I'm just not gonna like yeah, just not
so I don't bother anybody else. I get all my
items together. I do the you know, the raffle. I
had everybody I organized to sign up genius and got
everybody to sign up to bring bake goods and like
bring soda and bring somebody brought a cooler. And then
I had like a couple of moms that were go
getters that were like, I'll help you, I'll be there early.
Speaker 1: What do you just you tell me what you need?
Speaker 3: And I felt so supported. La Crocodile's mom came and
helped me the whole time, and then another three moms
the whole time.

Speaker 3: I ordered a bunch of pizza, we sold pizza, we
sold bake goods, and they all were just like super helpful,
no stress.
