Dixon on the line.
Speaker 1: I'm on my way. After I leave here, I'm going
to be shooting the commercial. What I'm just kidable.
Speaker 4: I didn't even get a call back. Here's what okay,
here's what app okay got last week? Yes, I think
I was was I going that Yes? Now I was
going that day?
Speaker 1: Yeah you were?
Speaker 4: Because we recorded on Tuesday, and I had the commercial
edition that after you out, and I said, break a leg.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I go home, I you know whatever, I
get ready.
Speaker 4: And as you know, if you remember last week me
telling you the story the breakdown, said, uh, mid to
late thirties Hispanic or ethnically ambiguous.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I, like I told you, I asked my
friend like Jewish in that ethic exactly, like I look like.
Speaker 4: A Russian Jew. I've got pale skin, like dark hair.
But that's as far as like the looking hispanic goes.
It's just the dark hair. The rest of me looks white.
So I dated a Russian Jew, by the way you did, Yeah,
go ahead. He was the last guy I dated before Adam.
Speaker 1: Really. Yeah. Was his name Flad? No, his name is Roman,
Oh Roman, that sounds Italian, Yeah, I know, but his
last name is I can't say it, Weinstein now it
was it was along those lines Polanski. Too old for
him anyway, Yeah, yeah, by like forty years. Okay.
Speaker 4: So so I talked myself just to remind you, I
had already had a talk with the company with my
agent and said, like, look like, don't send me for
stuff that I'm never going to have a chance of
getting and they were like, totally feel you. And then
they presented me with this one and I was like, okay,
so I'm like twenty years too old for the mid
toly thirties. Yeah, and I don't I'm not hispanic, but sure.
So then they were like, are you going to go?
And I said, yeah, I'll go. So I'd already committed
myself to going, so now I gotta go. So but
on the flip side, I was like, well, there's no sides.
So sides for you that don't know is like a script,
like nothing I have to memorize. So I was like,
what the hell worst case scenario. It's a good story
for for crying.
Speaker 1: Out of course, right, yeah, I owe it to you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I thought it was funny too that you're like,
I tell them, don't send me out for stuff that
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And then you're like and then they.
Speaker 3: Said, call you for this and you don't want to
sound difficult, yeah, and turn it down gong no.
Speaker 1: This is like yeah, no, So I want to be right.
Speaker 4: I guess if you think if they I mean, you know,
they always they presented you like they requested you which
is not true. Nobody's recalling going, hey, it's Stephanie Wilder
Taylor available to be in this commercial.
Speaker 1: That's not it.
Speaker 4: What they're doing is all the agencies are sending them
just headshots, and they're like, all right, we'll take her.
You can send her her and and her in. They're
looking at a picture. Yeah, maybe I look more hispanic
in my picture.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: First of all, as I told you, it's like a
glamour shot. It's not a normal commercial headshot.
Speaker 1: A nice beautiful brown eyes.
Speaker 4: Yes, but it's very That picture is so doctored, like
it's very uh them, it's from parnal discretion.
Speaker 1: Oh with the lighting.
Speaker 3: It looks glad on your LinkedIn page, that one I think,
so yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's not the one on
your Twitter page.
Speaker 1: I love that, yeah with my little kid. Okay, So anyway,
I'm like, all right, so fine whatever, I'm going to
go in on this. Now.
Speaker 4: It's in Hollywood and it's at five pm, so we
got some things working against it, but I have no
other plans. So I'm trying to have a good attitude
about it. Right, So I get there first of all.
You know how when you're going somewhere and it's on
Sunset Boulevard, but it could be, but I'm not sure
at this point. Sometimes addresses can be tricky in La,
like it could say Sunset and it could be like
actually closer to the beach, but have the same address
except for missing like the north Sunset. So I weighs
it like four different times, trying to see if it'll
give me a different location.
Speaker 1: But it's the same. Look you're trying to helpe it's closer,
so it's.
Speaker 4: Sweet fifteen, Like let's just say it's fifteen twenty nine.
It's something that sounds like it's going to be on
the fifteenth floor.
Speaker 1: So I get there. It's long drive, of course. I
get there.
Speaker 4: It's five o'clock. I'm looking for parking and at the building.
I drive by the front of this building and it's
a one story building.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh no.
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, I'm having that thing in my
stomach already where I'm like, this is this going to
be in some other part of town but.
Speaker 1: I've just never been here before.
Speaker 4: But it's really in deep West Hollywood, but I'm in
like East Hollywood, right, So I'm like, oh, my God.
And then I'm already having that thing in my head
where I'm like, can I just go home? But then
I talk myself down from that because I'm like, don't
be stupid, You're already here, right, Okay. So I find
parking like a couple of blocks away at a meter.
I walk back to the building and I see a
bunch of people that look like actresses. Okay, So I'm like, okay,
so I kind of follow them, and then I see
randomly in this building there's just like a sweet fifteen
blah blah blah, weird like out of nowhere, like there's
no reason for it to be. It's not a big
building or a big con anyway.
Speaker 1: So I walk in.
Speaker 4: There's I find the thing. I'm already patting myself on
the back for. I've found the office where there are people, right, okay, yeah,
you I walk in, it's all it looks like it's
all Mexican people. It's like they might as well have
been playing like tequila in the background. It's just a
Mexican as far as the eye can see. And well,
and it's kids too, a bunch of kids. So it's
met very very non ethnically ambiguous, very Hispanic, clear women,
very clear Hispanic women. And then there's a bunch of
kids that are Hispanic or ethnically ambiguous but not white,
like either they're all like half black and half half
Mexican or they're like Asian and Hispanic. They're all like
freaking adorable. But there's no way any of them could
have been birthed from my loins. Like just no way, right,
I mean none of these kids all super cute and
all the kind of kids that you see in commercials,
like kids with like amazing like super king of curly
hair like, but nobody that's come from me, right, I mean,
I couldn't look like more of.
Speaker 1: A basic bitch at this just no flavor to me. God,
you know what I mean? Yeah, well, I give you
my sun tan spray.
Speaker 4: So I go in there and I'm like I'm just
kind of laughing to myself, like I was like, this
is hilario.
Speaker 1: This is so like okay, what what what was your hair?
Your hair was fine? The straight iron I made my
hair curly.
Speaker 4: I'm going to show you a picture of what I
did to my hair because I was like, I was like,
I'm not going to try to make my hair really straight,
because that's not work.
Speaker 1: That's been working for me. So I got to show
you a picture of me, and what were you wearing?
I need to know what you look like. We need
a visual of. Okay, so I was wearing Okay, here's hair.
I love them. I love it. Though your hair looks
really like curly that's not really curled. It with a
curling iron.
Speaker 4: So it just looked kind of like how people are
wearing their hair these days, except for okay, if you
can imagine, if you can imagine this, I.
Speaker 1: Didn't comb it through enough.
Speaker 4: Do you see what I'm saying. It's a little too
curling iron like ring lidy. Yeah, like you just came
out of it, like I just came out of like
somebody just set my hair in the salon and then
I came out and I was like, let me not,
don't mess this up? Right, Like there's some like styling
lotion in it, almost looking like okay, so that's not good.
But I don't realize that at the time because I'm
thinking I look pretty cute before I leave the house, right,
And I think I might have been thinking, all finger
comb this like when I get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but never did. So then I'm wearing this like
a red shirt that's sleep.
Speaker 4: I can't explain it, but I'm thinking it looks a
little flavorful, looks a little Spanish like, it's like it's
got a pattern and it's red and it's blouse.
Speaker 1: And I'm that I'm wearing jeans because it said dressed casually.
Was the shirt tight? Was it? Or was it kind
of loose? Kind of loose figure. Yeah, But I walk
in there and it doesn't. I'm like, it's not going
to matter. I'm not going to get this commercial well
that it look like me? Okay no.
Speaker 4: But then so then I'm having that feeling like I
should leave, like what this is done? But then I'm thinking,
and I'm sure you know this feeling, I'm like, okay,
but I already drove all the way down here. I
found the place, I found parking. I found the suite number,
which was confusing because it's fifteen something and.
Speaker 1: A no two story place.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, after all that work, it seems dumb
to leave because now the agent like, I did all
this work and now I'm not even gonna get credit,
right because they're going to tell my agent that I
never showed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now, so I had signed and I had signed in,
and I'm like, well, maybe, okay, maybe i just like
crossed my name off the list and go home.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking all these thoughts, but I'm like, just fuck it,
I'll just say do it. Yeah, I'm there for an hour. Okay,
how many people? How many women? So then I go
in this room. So I go in a room.
Speaker 4: He brings in all these people. He names off all
these people, all these kids. So it's people and their kids,
and then it's the actresses that are going to be
playing the mom right. And then we go in this
room and then it's a guy at the cameraman. Guy
is like all right, so he's being funny with the kids,
and he's like, okay, so here's what's going to happen.
I'm going to separate you guys into groups. And so
it's like he's assigning all the women a set of
two kids. Oh, so he assigns me two kids that
look nothing like me. Right, So I'm like, all right,
I'm just like I'm not getting this part. But what
Now I'm here and I'm feeling stupid as all hell,
and I'm literally okay.
Speaker 1: So then he says, Okay, here's what you're gonna do.
Speaker 4: You're gonna you're gonna kneel at this coffee table, and
the kids have all been told to bring backpacks, so
all these kids have a backpack with them. So you're
gonna take the backpack and you're gonna he gives us
this quick instruction of what you're gonna do. So you're
gonna slate. That's you say your name. Then you're going
to do a profile profile. Then you're going to put
your hands in front of your face with the back
of your hands to the camera, and then you're going
to show the front of your hands. I don't know why.
I don't know if it's like, let me just make
sure you don't have a weapon. Sure, I don't know
what that's for, but all the kids have to do it,
and all the parents have to do it. Okay, so
that's what we're going to have to do. Then he says, okay,
so you're gonna do this scene where you're sitting here,
kneeling at this coffee table in front of the camera
with the kids, and then you're going to say like, hey, kids,
like it's time to go to school, and you're gonna
grab their backpacks and you're gonna make sure their backpacks
have stuff in it. And then you're gonna go, okay,
let's go to school. And then you're gonna get up
and walk out of the frame. Easy for you, easy,
right peasy. It's like what you do every day.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: So then you're gonna go and you're gonna sit against
a wall and you're gonna pretend like you're all watching
a movie and eating popcorn.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, how many kids in the scene with
you too? Okay?
Speaker 4: So then I proceed to wait and I start making
small talk with some of the other women, which was
pretty funny because I did mention the fact that I
was like, well, it's pretty clear that I'm the only
cracker in this room, like, and they were laughing at me.
I told one of the girls that I said, like,
this is why I do podcast now. Oh. She was saying,
this other girl is being really funny who was sitting
with me, and she was like, it's just like she goes.
You go on all these auditions, you have to lie
to your job about leaving right because then you show
up you're not right for the part. There's like eighty people,
and I was like, I know, I go and I
don't even really do this, and she goes, and then
you have to find parking, and then you know, we
were just kind of complaining.
Speaker 1: Ye yah yah, so the story of my childhood. Yeah yeah.
And not only that, but the girl that was saying
this was like way more right for the part.
Speaker 4: She was definitely like late twenties, early thirties, totally cute,
very Mexican, adorable, would have been way more right for it.
So I was like, at least she's right, yeah, okay, Yeah,
So we're just I'm making jokes with these women, just
trying to have fun with the Latinas. With the Latinas.
I was like, you guys, hello, Like I'm not getting this.
I said, you know, I drove all the way down here.
We were all talking about Oh. The one girl was like,
it took me an hour to get here the West side.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then it was just so dumb. And of course,
you know, there was the one woman who's just the
biggest fucking ass kisser. She's like making friends with all
the kids in the room, and she's acting like she's
like a preschool teacher. She's like, and then she got
called into the room and then when she came out,
she was like, she was like, oh my god, I
loved you guys so much. You guys are adorable, like
going on and on about the kids, right, and she
looked more right for it. She looked maybe Puerto Rican.
She had like curly hair. And they sent her in
with these two kids that she was very cute. And
they sent her in with these two kids that totally
looked like her, these twins.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, just give her the part
our time. I know, you know, I know, she just
go out like she already booked it, you know. I
was like whatever.
Speaker 4: So then somebody else goes in and they're in there
for a long time. I'm not like, I'm not exaggerating.
They were in there for like fifteen minutes. So then
I get I'm in. Like two more groups go by.
I've now been there an hour. I'm starting to worry
about my meter, right, and then we go in and
the guy's like, okay, Like I swear to Godlinette, I
was like, this guy is like, well, she's not getting it,
so let's just get through this. So we have to
do the slate and show our hands, and uh, I
have the worst hands. All.
Speaker 1: I have a terrible hands. Me too, My hands looks
eighty Yeah. I never wear polished ye me neither, I know.
So I'm like, what is this a hand modeling job?
Because somebody should have told me I put at least
put lotion on it.
Speaker 2: I know, I know.
Speaker 1: I look like I'm auditioning for like an old witch,
like who's just made a potion?
Speaker 4: Like so nothing could be less in my favor right now.
So then I just decided to just have fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I have to.
Speaker 4: So I kneel down at the table with these two kids,
who are, by the way, super cute and fun and
not a so the little boy, Connor reminded me of Xander,
like a Mexican Xander. He was eleven years old. That
most of the kids there were like six or seven,
they were younger.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I had a little girl who was like seven,
looked nothing like me.
Speaker 4: She was probably she was like a Hispanic Asian combo,
really really cute.
Speaker 3: I mean the Hispanic latinas They're always like, their skin
is always perfect, They're just beautiful people.
Speaker 1: They were all much darker than me. This was not
like right balance so I have to say.
Speaker 3: One thing that keeps coming to my head is Suzanne,
my bff, white, whiter than white, white bread, and her
daughter Gracie total Latina looking little does She's just dark skinned, beautiful,
like brown.
Speaker 1: She could look nothing like Suzanne. So could it happen?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: But a book it that way from the commercial?
Speaker 4: Are they going to be like, listen, if you go
to our website and read the backstory, this woman is
actually married to somebody who's Hispanic and her child really
is No, they're not going to.
Speaker 1: Read up on it.
Speaker 4: They're just going to be like, this bitch looks white, right,
and those kids are dark. So the kids were super cute,
so we have to sit down, so I don't. So
I was just kind of being funny. I was like,
are you guys ready for school? I was like, let
me see your backpack?
Speaker 1: I go, is your I go? Is your folder in here?
Speaker 4: And then the kid they were playing along and the
kids like yes, and I was like, are you sure?
And then I said and did you pack your And
then I looked at the little girl. I was like,
did you pack yourself a lunch?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: I told you too?
Speaker 4: And I go, did you fill it? With unhealthy snacks.
Like I told you too, cracking them up. You're ad
libbing all of this, totally ad libbing because we had
nothing to say, no part, right, So I was like,
I might as well just have fun. I was so
I was cracking the kids that ye, I was just
being fun. I was being like if I was a mom,
no one's ever going to book for a commercial. Nobody
needs a snarky, funny mom in their commercial. So I
was being funny with the kids. And then I was like,
all right, let's go to school. I go probably late
because you know, we're always a little bit late, and
the kids were laughing, you are always lame. Yeah, And
then we had to pretend like we were watching a movie,
so I okay, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: We're The little boy was so cute. His name was Asher.
Speaker 4: He was he was laughing and he was going, I
love this movie. And I was like, I know you
love Will Ferrell movie. I said, I shouldn't show him
to you, but somehow you always talk me into it.
And then I covered both their eyes. I was like,
this part's inappropriate.
Speaker 1: I could totally ficture you. That's awesome. I just had fun.
Speaker 4: I was at least I was funny in this one, right,
But yeah, was anybody laughing other than no?
Speaker 1: It was just a camera guy who couldn't have looked bored.
Speaker 4: Just us in a little room, just me and the
two kids in a camera guy, and he was all
he The look on his face was just like, you're
not booking this commercial, so stop trying that hard, which
I did not.
Speaker 1: I did not get a callback. No, I never know.
Speaker 3: You know what though, who I mean the people that
do the commercials of the advertising agencies, right, I mean
you could they might go, she's not good for this part,
but she'd be great for the part of the snarky.
Speaker 1: Farmers. I don't know if it works that way.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they are thinking ahead to like, well,
we might have a commercial, we might have a job
for Oh remember that girl we.
Speaker 1: Saw in the middle of a tape of looking at
fifty people. She was great. I don't think I was.
Speaker 4: Plus, I'm sure I wasn't that great. I'm sure they
weren't like, wow, we should give her a clio for
acting in an audition. I think it was just like
I'm sure they fast forward. I'm sure as soon as
they saw me they were like, she's too, she's wrong,
moving on.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but I'm glad you did it.
Speaker 3: You look you never you never know, I don't know,
never know you could have like maybe I don't know,
who knows.
Speaker 4: Such a giant waste of time. But the best part
was just that I just didn't care. By the time,
I was like, who cares, I'm not booking this. It's
just the story bad that you.
Speaker 1: Didn't really fit the description.
Speaker 3: Because when you go in there and you don't care,
really is when you they tend to like you let
you think a little more. Right. So if you take
the factor that you don't fit the description what they're
looking for.
Speaker 1: You know that they are looking for a Russian jew,
you would have booked it probably in her fifties.
Speaker 4: You're like a vodka commercial where I go, I can't
actually drink the vodka, but I mean, look, it was
good practice feeling like I don't care, because I was like, well, if,
like you said, if I get an audition for a
part that I'm more right for, I could try to
channel that same feeling of like who cares? Right, of course,
then I'll probably get really nervous. Yeah, I try to
take off my blazer and then they'll go, do you
always take off your blazer when you're thinking?
Speaker 1: Do you want me do it again? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you always wear blazers to It's not the eighties, honey,
how about lose the blazer?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: You know I feel bad for not just you, when
I feel bad for the parents to those kids have
to take their kids to the auditions, and I know
they want to do it, but like, you know how
many auditions people have to go on to most people
have to go on to book one. Maybe maybe, I
mean it's it's a tough. It's tough out there a
lot of kids there too. That's especially with kids, Like
there's kids ever. I just I don't know what my
parents were thinking, but like, I mean, there's just you.
Just My dad would just tell me, you're doing it
for the experience. If you get the park, great, but
don't just go in there and just get to.
Speaker 1: Look awaios experience.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be an actor, and I would say, yeah, okay,
But until I was like finally when I was like sixteen,
said I was like, I don't really want to do this,
and I still did it. I still like remember going
in my car and taking time off of my work
over at the Little Little Uh Little Graduates preschool in
Kenoga Park on Rosco.
Speaker 1: I would like, you know, have to tell.
Speaker 3: Them, and they knew, and I'd say on an audition
and I would have to change there, and then where's
miss Lynette going.
Speaker 1: Dressed as a you know, prostitute or bud light? Like
you need to wear a bikini.
Speaker 3: That's when I was like, I'm done. When it was like,
you gotta wear a bathing suit, I was like, I'm
not doing this.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that.
Speaker 3: No, No, I didn't have to wear a bathing suit
when I was ten, but now you know, so it
just it's so much work.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of work. But it's like driving if
you get a national commercial, especially if you get a
national commercial. But this commercial would have paid.
Speaker 4: And this is like if I booked it, probably all told,
I would have made like five thousand dollars. I know
that seems like that's a good amount of money, but
it's a buyout, so that means there's no chance that
you're gonna they're going to run the hell out of
it and you're going to suddenly make a lot more money.
It's like you're going to go in, you're gonna do
wardrobe thing, You're gonna shoot for the day. They're going
to pay you part of it up front, Yeah, and
then they're going to buy out. You're going to get
it later the rest of a few thousand dollars and
you're going to.
Speaker 1: Be like nine months taxes and I know, right, and
you're left with fucking gas money.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: It's not like I know. And then you'd have to
really be booking those all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you wanted that to be like a second
like a career, you'd have to book a bunch of them, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's a tough business man. It's tough.
Speaker 3: And if you think about do you ever see the
same person, and if you do, it's usually a character actor.
Like the car there's this car dealership or not dealership,
there's whatever car something, and the guy that's in it
was is in every movie all the time. He's in
modern Fay. You see them all the time. The kids
are like, Ah, that's the guy that played the principal
in the movie we just saw at the theater. You
either got to be a character actor or I don't know, like.
Speaker 4: Or you have to book a campaign like Stephanie Courtney,
who's Flow from progressed.
Speaker 1: Right, But that and then you're that's your living, Yeah,
that's your career. How much money? I don't know. I
have no idea. Yeah, I don't know either. A million
dollars a year could be I mean more, could be more,
Probably more. I mean she's probably shooting a new commercial
every week. Yeah, yeah, for progressive progress.
Speaker 4: Like that's her whole career. I mean, that's all she
I'm sure that's all she does. Right, Well, I'm sure
she can't compete against herself.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: She's lucky because she got it locked in. Isn't she
a comedian? Didn't you say?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I used to do stand up with her years ago.
And didn't your kids be your nice?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Halloween, yes, Xander Still. They have a joke. He and
his friend they call themselves Flowbros. They love Flow. They're obsessed. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So I Facebook messaged her and I was like, Stephanie,
my kids are obsessed.
Speaker 1: With you, and she was like, oh my god.
Speaker 4: I did a video of them holding up her face
right and talking about how much they love flow, and
she was like, I love this so much. And then
she sent them a bunch of like per Flow from
Progressive Paraphernilay that's so cute.
Speaker 1: That's cute, like.
Speaker 3: Like Jennifer Garner and those commercials like for Capital One
and stuff.
Speaker 1: May think she looks different, and I don't. Am I
the only one that's thinking that.
Speaker 3: I see these these commercials with her, and she doesn't
look like herself. I don't know if she had work
done or something, but I.
Speaker 4: Think because when you see her, like in magazines and stuff,
she's really down to earth. So she's not wearing makeup
and she's like, yeah, dresses frumpy and doesn't do her
hair right. But I'm sure she cleans up when they're
putting her in a commercial. I'm sure she's superstyl made up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she looks a little. There's something. I don't know.
Speaker 3: It looks she just doesn't Maybe I don't know, maybe
it's just me, but something looks whatever.
Speaker 1: I know, she doesn't have any TVs in her house,
and really, well, I don't know in her whole.
Speaker 3: I don't know what do I know, but I've heard, well,
you know, I worked at ABC when Alias was on
the air. That's how she you know, And she was
against TVs and really she was like, I don't want
my kids ever to watch even though she didn't have
kids back that that's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's just super nice, super sweetheart. Yeah, but I
don't like people who are anti TV. That why you
got to make everyone else feel bad when you're a
TV star, right right?
Speaker 3: I don't know this could be, but I remember people
telling me that at ABC anyway, David Spade used to.
Speaker 4: Have a really funny bit many years ago that always
made me laugh that he it was about people that
say they don't watch TV or whatever, and how people
like will compete about it, like, oh, I don't I
don't watch TV or whatever, and then the other person's like,
I don't even have a TV.
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't even know what what is TV? TV?
What are those two letters?
Speaker 4: Right or whatever?
Speaker 1: People arguing about it. Yeah, I know that always made
me laugh.
Speaker 3: You know. Oh, I was gonna say, I don't know
this guy that's been on Adam's show, what's his name?

Bill Maher but with Adam, and Adam will go, you know,
I love my kids, and he'll go, but you don't
you know, I collect race cars.
Speaker 1: Do you really? Were you just going around in a circle?
If you can? Oh, I love Kyle again.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, if you just play on he sat,
I would have thought it was Bill Maher. Adam's like,
he comes up to me with his laptop and he
goes listen to Bill Maher. This was last time, the
first time he was on Bill Maher's on my show.
Listen to how snarky he was. And I was like, wow,

Speaker 1: Totally but sounds like something Bill Maher would say.
Speaker 3: But he's being funny he has been, Yeah, totally, and
so he's Adam loves him now and he wants him
to come on all the time, and he wants him
to be snarky, specifically snarky Bill Maher.

think that was gonna happen for me. But man, once
I saw these two little precious bungles land on this planet,
I fell in love immediately with both of them.

Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't know what
that was the weird noise that I did.
Speaker 1: I know, we're like, doctor Bruce, Now, what else do
you have going on? Onett? Really?
Speaker 4: I mean, you know what I was thinking about that
was making me ad for you on your behalf, not
to reinvigorate your anger. But what is up with middle
school having sports where they where they don't?
Speaker 1: People don't make the team. I know, people who are
already good at a sport. I know, Like, why are
you having?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: It makes me sad? Yeah, look, if you want to
do that. This is I was just thinking about this
and I was talking about it to somebody, and I
was like, why don't they just have like my school has,
which is what everybody can do the sport, right, some
people are on varsity, Yeah, and then the rest of
the people are on like JV, which is also kind
of the fun team. So a select group of people
are the ones that really go around to the schools.
Speaker 1: And play competitively.
Speaker 4: But anybody can play on the team, right, So the
JV team, so that you know, at our school they
separated it like this for girls basketball, there's a sixth
grade team alone. Then there's the seventh and eighth graders
are separated into varsity and JV.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but nobody gets turned away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have that with track, and Sonny did it
and didn't want to do it because, frankly, the coach
was a biatch.
Speaker 1: I think she needs to.
Speaker 3: Be, you know, like, if you're not going to show,
you're not going to be on whatever. I don't know,
it's just it was after anyway, he's got enough going on.
But yeah, I mean they had their first flag football
and all his I mean all his friends pretty much,
not all but his close friends made the team.
Speaker 1: That's soid I know. And so they they're getting on
they can leave early.
Speaker 3: On one of the days, they got on the school
bus to drive to the other school and he calls
after school and says, I really want to go to
their game.
Speaker 1: Can I go to their game?
Speaker 4: Can?
Speaker 1: I can't go on the bus, but can you drive me?
Has a city. And the thing is he's fucking good
at football. I know he's really good. Like I know,
why do it?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Why do that? He's twelve years old?
Speaker 4: Why are you going to already make a sport a
thing where you're like only the elite, only the.
Speaker 1: Best of the Like, why are you going to make
some kids feel shitty about themselves?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: I know it's it's competitive, and it's just it's I know,
it is so s to be so competitive at that age.
It's like it should be about learning, well, like port
there's practices, should be about playing football and learning. Tell me, yeah,
building at the tryouts Sonny, And I've I've watched it
tryout sometimes, Like when he tried out for that elite
basketball thing that he's on, I was like, how does
the coach even though you're good?
Speaker 1: He didn't even see you. Like the most of the
time he was was talking to a parent.
Speaker 3: It's one guy who's auditioning like, I don't know, forty
five fifty sixty kids maybe in a not okay, now
dribble this way, now dribble back. He's talking to a
parent like mostly he doesn't you're in the middle of
a crowd. And then he picks like a few what
did Sonny not make his school basketball team? Even know
they don't haven't had that, they haven't had that. Yeah,
but the so so so he said when he auditioned
for or tried out for the flag football, he said, Mom,
the kid, the guy didn't even look in my direction.
So all the kids in his line did not make
And there was kids in his line that are just
as good as all the other kids that have played
flag football before outside of the school that didn't make
the team. And he's like, of course we didn't because
the coach wasn't didn't look in our direction.
Speaker 1: He was focusing on like a certain And then also
it's some of these parents that.
Speaker 3: Like, especially some of the dads that show up at
the thing, and I wonder like if look, if I'm
a dad, I just think to myself if Adam showed
up and was talking to the coach and I was like,
that's a great program, you know, I played whatever whatever
I mean.
Speaker 1: And I think that he.
Speaker 3: Would have gotten not because he's Adam, just because he's
a dad showed interest. I mean, I think I think
he would have gotten on because he would he would
say my son. Then the coach would look over at
his son in the direction. There's a lot of dads
that showed up, and I start thinking to myself, Okay,
this has got to be so I don't know, why
are the dads showing up in the middle of the
day for tryouts.
Speaker 1: And they also have.
Speaker 3: Older kids at the school, so they must know something
that I didn't know. And it's kind of the same
with the basketball. Even though Sonny's on that elite basketball team,
there's a lot of not a lot, but there's a
couple moms that are like I've just said this before, that.
Speaker 1: Are you know, running the guy. He's a young guy.
Speaker 3: And when we go to Vegas, they're like, all volunteer
to do the bowling night and all volunteer.
Speaker 1: To do this over at the spy the pool and
all whatever. So of course, you know I just I
don't know. And who are the parents that show up
at all the practices together? I don't know, husband and wife.
I had whatever.
Speaker 3: I had to pick up Sonny from practice the other
night at ten thirty nine, nine thirty, and uh, I
don't want to get out of the car because it's
first of all, it's like a nine thirty at night.
Speaker 1: I just want to pull up and pick them up.
Speaker 3: But I was about to get on the out of
the car, but then there's the you know, the husband
and wife are there, and I like, I can't remember
the day. I didn't know anyway, I just decided to
wait in the car and I was just I was
like why, And then I didn't say anything. And then
Sonny gets in the car and he mentions the kid,
and and then he was and then he said, and
I don't know why his parents, both of them come
to all.
Speaker 1: The practices, all the practices.
Speaker 3: Both he's an only child and sit and watch and
he's like, I go, would you want me?
Speaker 1: And he goes no. I said, would you want dad?
And he goes no, especially not at that age. He'sa
sit there and watch the entire time.
Speaker 3: No, He's like, of course, my games. But to practice
is like, is there something I'm missing? I guess I'm
not judging. I just don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get Look, I don't get anywhere by myself.
Go sit at his practice for an hour.
Speaker 4: Xander's been playing a lot of basketball. He's doing basketball
for Kiki, and Friday nights they do. They go at
six o'clock for a practice, seven to eight is a scrimmage,
and then eight to nine they play a game and
Kiki calls it daycare with sweat, which I love. Yeah,
it's like he's not expecting parents to be sitting there
the whole Well, am I going to sit there for
three hours?
Speaker 1: It's not. So I drop him off at six and
let him go to practice.
Speaker 4: And like last time I on Friday, I took LB
and we went and ate at Alpoil Loco, and then
went home, dropped off food for Sadian John and then
meandered our way back and watched the scrimmage in the game.
But you know, there were parents that were there the
entire time for three hours. Two parents.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't like the kids in seventh grade. Why,
I just don't understand.
Speaker 4: I don't know, these are the same people that we
that I think that I don't know. Maybe they have
no other life than just hanging out with their kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they don't. I don't think. Well, I
don't know. Maybe they do. Maybe they just really love
their kids more than we love our kids. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know there's so many things that I bitch about that.
Maybe it's because it makes me feel better about yourself
lesson like that, like why am I super nogad?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: But then, like I said, but I will ask Xander
like do you need do you want me to be
there during your practice?
Speaker 1: And he says no, right? Fine? Right would you want
to do?
Speaker 3: By the way, like at these practices and stuff, they
get they get intent sometimes so that like the coach
will go like Sonny, I said, like, do you want
your kid to get yelled at while you're in front
of their parents?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: They don't want to be yelled at in front of
their parents, right, that's right?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: Do?
Speaker 1: I I don't know?
Speaker 3: But then I now I know why kids on all
makes it through all the tryouts.
Speaker 1: You know that kid is on all the teams. Let
me ask you this about basketball? Do you have do
you ever?
Speaker 4: Uh? Do you get like mad about Yeah, so kids
that like don't pass because oh my god, okay, because
there's a kid. There are a couple of them, but
there's one in particular that does not pass the ball.
Speaker 1: And it got me.
Speaker 4: It was to the point where I was like, this kid, okay,
this is so inside basketball. But he uh is oftentimes
the point guard dribbles right into traffic like he's so
averse to passing the ball.
Speaker 1: He just wants to do it.
Speaker 4: Yes, so he will go right into traffic he gets
the ball taken away from him, or he shoots it
from like half court or.
Speaker 1: Just and then doesn't ever score. And it's not just
me because Xander's always like so and so does not
pass the ball. And it got so bad that I
said to Kiki. I was like, Kiki, yeah, well, I
was like, I know, want to be this parent. I go,
but so and so never passes the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And he's like, well, it's the position I have
him and he's playing guard. And I was like, I know,
but there isn't part of the game passing the ball around.
I mean, they're only ten, aren't they supposed to be
learning to pass it?
Speaker 1: Like I go, I get it.
Speaker 4: I get that every kid wants to be like the
star of the team. Right, But I go, but he's
not making shots because he's not in a good position
to shoot. Yeah, but he insists on shooting every time.
Speaker 1: And then I saw him kind of say something. But
the parents are uber parents. That's always that.
Speaker 4: Yes, uber parents. They're together at every game, at every practice.
They're both sitting there. They got two kids playing. They're
super nice, they're not. But I'm wondering if it makes
the coach feel uncomfortable to be like, you got to
pass the ball when the parents are going to be like, no,
he doesn't, you.
Speaker 2: Know, No, I know.
Speaker 3: But that's another thing that's at the flip side too.
If you're sitting there, then the coach is going to
feel like weird or awkward, right and right, I don't know,
but no, I know those kids they're called ball hogs obviously,
and they annoy the shit out of everybody.
Speaker 1: Do they change a lot? Like Kent Jensen's mom, like
just all the time.
Speaker 3: Like she'll gets to the point sometimes where she'll say something,
I mean, we've been together throughout basketball since they were five, right,
But I so I've seen her in action, like and
she knows the lingo and more than I do.
Speaker 1: You know, hey, touchdown, But like I know, no, I
I don't get it.
Speaker 3: There's some kids that that are great and they plow
right through and they make it. I've seen that too,
and they're But like I was watching Sonny's football game.
It was the first one of the season, and he
was open all the time. He has his hands up open. Oh,
but the kate kept throwing it to.
Speaker 1: The same kid, and it's like, call he coach, why
not was it? Why are they same kids? Saying kids kid?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Lo?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, why not? There's a lot of not just Sonny,
there's a lot of other open kids. I don't get it.
I just don't. Our coach did start to say, hey,
so and so is open. So and so is open.
But then I become crazy mom because I'm yelling. They
call it. They call Xander Mattador. He gives all you
know how I told you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They gives everyone a nickname. Yeah, so he used to
be Maddie. He got Madador at that, but Madador is
still his nickname, right. He gives him all nicknames, sad
Sadie's potato chips, potato ches. He calls her chip and
then Elbie used to be Bambi. When she was younger,
she had big brown eyes. He called her Bambi, but
then as she got a little older he started calling
her bambam Ah.
Speaker 1: That's cute. Yeah, so uh anyway, yeah, but so I'm
always like mad at doors open like a crazy person too.
You got thata door over there side of the.
Speaker 3: Car, he's right open, right, I need too. And if
I'm with Natalia, you had Mada door open, nat shut.
She'll pinch me and go, don't you're embarrassing him? I
got my embarrassing him or you?
Speaker 1: Which one is it?
Speaker 3: Because he can't hear me, clearly, nobody can hear me,
right right, But anyway, you're.
Speaker 4: Like, I'm clearly not influencing the game at all now.
And by the way, if you like our show, but
you're like, how can I listen to just a.
Speaker 1: Little bit more?
Speaker 4: And how can it be like a little bit juicy,
right little juici or yes, Patreon, that's where it's at
