Speaker 1:
[00:15] What's up, everybody?
Speaker 2:
[00:16] Hi, hi, hi, hi.
Speaker 3:
[00:17] Hi, Stef.
Speaker 2:
[00:18] How are you? I'm good, how are you?
Speaker 1:
[00:20] What's going on? Did you watch the Oscars? I just want to say right away that I did not.
Speaker 2:
[00:24] No, I did not. I didn't even know the Oscars were on. You didn't? No, I went, Sunny, yesterday was Sunday, and Adam took Natalia and her friends to the mall.
Speaker 1:
[00:34] What?
Speaker 2:
[00:35] Yeah. Yeah, because they were going to go to the beach or something. He was going to take her down to the beach, but it was like rainy and cold, and so he took them to the mall. Well, you think he stayed there? No, he dropped them off.
Speaker 1:
[00:47] Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:
[00:48] And then went back and picked them up and then took them to dinner.
Speaker 1:
[00:51] Oh, that's nice. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[00:53] So Sunny and I said, what do you want to do? And he said, let's go to the movies. And I said, okay. So he picked the movie, which was Jojo Rabbit. And I was like, all right. I don't know anything about it, but I just knew that Scarlett Johansson's in it and something Oscars or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1:
[01:09] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[01:10] So I was like, all right.
Speaker 1:
[01:10] Something Oscars.
Speaker 2:
[01:12] I was like, is it good, Sunny? Why do you want? He goes, yeah, it's supposed to be good. He went and looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes, and he told me the score. I was like, oh, okay. Let's go see it. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1:
[01:22] Oh, it is? It's so good.
Speaker 2:
[01:24] Did you see it, Kaelin?
Speaker 3:
[01:26] No, but I'm kind of aware of it. It's like a satire on youth Nazis, right? Yeah. It looks really funny, but I do want to see it.
Speaker 1:
[01:33] Hitler is pretty funny.
Speaker 2:
[01:34] Yeah, it is. And he's hilarious in the movie. He's like his imaginary friend, the little boy's imaginary friend is Adolf Hitler. And so, he's silly and he's acting like a 10-year-old boy, like that wacky Adolf is. But it really is really funny and it's got heart and it's sweet and made me cry at one point. It was really good. And then afterwards, Sonny says, let's go to the Mac store really quick. Can we just go look around? So we look around and I end up talking to one of the guys and he goes, you're not home watching the Oscars? Oh, because he goes, you want me to give you a Xerox, you want me to give you a validation for the for the parking? I said, sure. And then he said, you're not. I said, I said, when we went to the movies and he said, would you see? I told him. And then he said, you're not home watching the Oscars. And I go, really? The Oscars are on. I go, what are you rooting for? And he said, parasite. And I never saw. Everybody says it's good. And I didn't see it either.
Speaker 1:
[02:34] And sadly, we have screeners.
Speaker 2:
[02:36] Yeah. And you didn't see.
Speaker 1:
[02:37] And I didn't watch a lot of my screeners.
Speaker 2:
[02:39] Yeah. I'm missing much, to be honest. You're not missing much.
Speaker 1:
[02:43] You know what? I feel sadly that I dislike most movies.
Speaker 2:
[02:49] I know.
Speaker 1:
[02:50] Why is it with them terrible?
Speaker 2:
[02:51] It's awful. You know, I grew up watching movies with my dad, my dad telling me about the magic of Hollywood and watching The Wizard of Oz every year and everything. And, you know, I try to carry it on with my kids and stuff, but it's like, there's no big like Titanic. You know, there's no big motion picture that people, it's a lot of the independent, you know, too cool for school movies.
Speaker 1:
[03:20] Well, I just feel like unless I'm, it's sort of like our interest in podcasts, like in True Crime.
Speaker 2:
[03:27] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[03:27] Like it needs to have happened down the street from us, right?
Speaker 2:
[03:29] Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 1:
[03:30] Unless a movie has some way that I really relate to it, it's hard for me to stay focused. And I feel like I must have lost focus because I'm so used to podcasts now, and like, or just a quick TV show, and watching TV and movies from my house, where you can just turn something off if you get bored. And I'm becoming like my kids where I don't like it, where they can't stay interested if the movie's not gripping from the beginning, they're on their phone.
Speaker 2:
[03:57] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[03:58] The other day, John and I were like, what would be a great movie? Thank you, Kaylin, to watch. And I was like, you know what we should watch? Jerry Maguire.
Speaker 2:
[04:07] Yeah, I want to watch that with my kids.
Speaker 1:
[04:10] But beware, and I have no memory. So I was like, I only look on Common Sense. I don't remember anything being too bad. And then I remembered, there's a super graphic sex scene right at the beginning. Remember?
Speaker 2:
[04:21] Now.
Speaker 1:
[04:21] With Kelly Preston plays his wife.
Speaker 2:
[04:25] I don't even remember she was in it.
Speaker 1:
[04:27] Well, he has this wife who's like a total bitch.
Speaker 2:
[04:31] And remember, she's like, fuck me.
Speaker 1:
[04:33] And it's this great, do you remember Jerry Maguire?
Speaker 3:
[04:36] I have never seen Jerry Maguire.
Speaker 1:
[04:37] Oh my God, Kaylin.
Speaker 3:
[04:39] I was talking about this yesterday with my girlfriend.
Speaker 2:
[04:40] Really?
Speaker 3:
[04:41] Yeah, because she loves it. And she was asking me about Tom Cruise movies. And there's a lot of Tom Cruise movies I haven't seen that I should have. That was the main one, though.
Speaker 1:
[04:50] Wow. Yeah. It's a great movie. But then John and I were like, OK, well, we're going to have to fast forward to the beginning part.
Speaker 2:
[04:59] Yeah. And then I was.
Speaker 1:
[05:01] No, we didn't end up watching it, honestly, because I was like, you know what? I don't know how I'm going to get Sadie and Xander to be patient, to get into the movie because it's a long movie that you have to get into. But I want to try to get them into it.
Speaker 2:
[05:16] Well, you got to take their lead too and see what they're interested in and what they, I don't know.
Speaker 1:
[05:22] They have such bad-tasting movies. It's all made for Netflix movies. Netflix originals movies aimed at like teens, like about the Kissing Booth.
Speaker 2:
[05:34] That's what like Mattel is into, yeah. Yeah. Well, again, I don't know. Sonny is weird with the movie. You know what I think it is? Is that because every Sunday he's watching football with all these guys that are in movies and write television shows, and Fast and Furious guys there on Sunday, and it's just so like he hears them talking about movies, and South are like critical of movies. Like, did you see it? Oh, I hate it. I loved it. They're going on and on. And so he hears that, and then he's like, I want to go see. Oh, I know who that actor is. So he's like already into and he's just a dude. But luckily, him and I kind of have the same taste in movies. But yeah.
Speaker 1:
[06:23] You know what I watched last night? I did not watch the Oscars, but you know what I watched? McMillions, the first episode of it on HBO.
Speaker 2:
[06:31] Yeah, I want to see it.
Speaker 1:
[06:31] It is so good. And then I was like, you know what? This would have been a fantastic full length feature. Would have made a great movie. It was shot like a feature film. It's shot like an Adam McKay. What was that movie that he made about the finance industry? Big Short. It's kind of shot like, I didn't love that movie, but it's sort of shot like in a very cool, first person kind of camera. Yes, it's really good. It's so good. It's really funny too.
Speaker 2:
[07:05] I want to see it.
Speaker 1:
[07:06] The main FBI guy is like Laugh Out Loud. Really funny.
Speaker 2:
[07:11] But it's a documentary, right?
Speaker 1:
[07:12] It's a documentary, but the way it's shot is really stylized in a funny stylized way.
Speaker 2:
[07:18] Right.
Speaker 1:
[07:19] It's blew me away. John and I were both like, oh my God, this is like the greatest, but only one episode is out. The next one should be out today.
Speaker 2:
[07:28] I hate when it's just one episode. I love coming like just come on HBO, just get with the Netflix. Just let's stream our shows, like going to watch it back to back, and then be done with it.
Speaker 1:
[07:39] I know. It's like discovering a podcast after one episode in.
Speaker 2:
[07:43] Yes. Thank you, Jason Cosby. I love that podcast. It is so good. I love those kind of podcasts.
Speaker 1:
[07:53] Me too.
Speaker 2:
[07:54] They're very far and few between. They make us appreciate them.
Speaker 1:
[07:58] The one about the guy Larry Nassar, that was a good one too, believed. That was similar.
Speaker 2:
[08:05] Seems like the newspaper ones, the LA Times.
Speaker 1:
[08:09] I know people need to get on more of those. Start pre-planning those guys.
Speaker 2:
[08:13] Yeah. These journalists should just try and make their articles and their exposés into a podcast as well. Go interview them, get them on audio, pull some audio tape of the trial if you can or whatever, and then put together a nice podcast.
Speaker 1:
[08:31] I feel like we just gave people a workshop.
Speaker 2:
[08:33] Right. There you go.
Speaker 1:
[08:34] Yeah. On podcasting. Get out there, guys. Do some research. Pull some clips and let's get this going. Chop, chop.
Speaker 2:
[08:42] Because our attention level is going down now as we speak, so you better keep it going now. Yeah. So Saturday.
Speaker 1:
[08:52] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[08:53] So my nephew Anthony came from Chicago for the weekend because there is a band called Mr. Bungle.
Speaker 1:
[09:03] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[09:04] Who's like, they're like-
Speaker 1:
[09:05] Of course, Mr. Bungle.
Speaker 2:
[09:06] Yeah. What do you think?
Speaker 1:
[09:07] I'm in my 50s?
Speaker 2:
[09:08] Of course I know Mr. Bungle. Okay. Okay.
Speaker 1:
[09:12] No, I don't know who that is.
Speaker 2:
[09:13] So they love this band for a long time, all of my nephews pretty much. And so he came out to visit for just like- So he went to a Friday night show of Mr. Bungle and then he stayed at my house for the weekend, and then he went home Sunday morning. So Saturday afternoon, I'm sitting there just in my pajamas, in the, you know, having coffee with Anthony, chit-chatting.
Speaker 1:
[09:38] There are no games?
Speaker 2:
[09:40] Saturday, Sonny had one game. No, Natalia did not have a game. Saturday, Sonny had just one game. He's been kicking ass with this. It's the league in between the leagues, basically. It's- and so anyway, it's one hour, it's up the street, and they won, and I went to that game. But so we're sitting there and I'm in my pajamas, having coffee, and ding-dong, oh, who's here? And then I hear Adam opens the door. Okay, but first of all, I get a text like an hour before this from a Brian, and it says, it's in my phone, so I must know this person, and it's to me and Adam, and it says, be there in about- we're 20 minutes out. And I was like, it just said, be there in 20 minutes or I'm 20 minutes out. Now, a lot of times Adam has like, like one of his guys, like a trainer come and he goes down in the workout room and he stretches for an hour. Something is somebody like that. Okay. That's coming. And I don't know why he put me-
Speaker 1:
[10:43] It includes, how do I get hurt?
Speaker 2:
[10:44] How do I get- right. And so like Anthony and I are in a deep conversation. I looked down at my phone like, okay, whatever. It's one of Adam's guys, I guess. So then now fast forward an hour later, ding dong, and I hear a kid. I hear two lady voices and I'm in my pajamas, and it's Bald Brian, Gina, Bald Brian's wife, and Bald Brian's daughter, Tessa. And they're at my house. Why? Do you know why, Kalen?
Speaker 3:
[11:14] I do know why.
Speaker 2:
[11:15] Yeah. Because that, I guess, Gina and Brian bet on the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3:
[11:21] Brian is from San Francisco and Gina is from Kansas City. So they had a natural rivalry for the Super Bowl. So they did a little bet on the Adam Carolla show.
Speaker 2:
[11:31] Yeah. I knew Brian was San Francisco. I didn't know Gina. Okay. So they had a bet. Loser has to jump in the freezing cold pool. And they went to my house and they filmed it and you'll be seeing it.
Speaker 1:
[11:48] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[11:48] Ball Brian lost. Yeah. So Gina was saying, I go, Gina, thank God you won. And she's like, yeah, I don't even know what I would do. Because she's like, I'd probably wear a big mumu and one of those caps for my hair. She's out there like-
Speaker 1:
[12:05] There'd be a lot of preparation required.
Speaker 2:
[12:08] Yeah. She has not a care in the world. She's laughing, waiting for Ball Brian to jump in the freezing cold. He comes, he shows up in like a, I don't know, he looked like Mr. Incredible robe, and his daughter just had a swim lesson, Tessa. So they're just like, it's a Saturday afternoon, and Ball Brian's got to pay up, and he jumped in the freezing cold. And he was like, wow, that is freezing cold. So-
Speaker 1:
[12:32] Here's where my mind goes, though. Like then did you have to entertain them?
Speaker 2:
[12:37] That's what I was like.
Speaker 1:
[12:38] Like, do you just go, okay, guys? Do they need to use the bathroom? Like, do you go, I guess, to use the shower? That's-
Speaker 2:
[12:46] I know.
Speaker 1:
[12:46] So you're going to go to the shower?
Speaker 2:
[12:48] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[12:48] Like, did I clean the bathroom?
Speaker 2:
[12:49] Right. And I'm like, okay. Luckily, I did because Anthony was there. So I clean- I did a whole once over around the house and made sure, you know- Are you like, you guys want to quit? Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[13:01] You want to run out to Coffee Bean and get them then?
Speaker 2:
[13:03] I had nothing. I know.
Speaker 1:
[13:05] Did they come with anything? Like, did they go, hey, we brought breakfast.
Speaker 2:
[13:08] No, they were going out to eat. So they came and then they left.
Speaker 1:
[13:11] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[13:11] Thank God.
Speaker 1:
[13:12] Right.
Speaker 2:
[13:12] But I mean, they're great. But I wish I would have been more prepared because that's Adam. So was Adam home? Yes, Adam was home.
Speaker 1:
[13:20] So he knew they were coming.
Speaker 2:
[13:21] Yeah, I didn't say anything.
Speaker 1:
[13:22] He didn't tell you who was coming. No. So you get a text, you don't even know who it is.
Speaker 2:
[13:26] Right.
Speaker 1:
[13:26] It doesn't say, ball Brian on your phone.
Speaker 2:
[13:28] No, it just says Brian with a Y. And I still didn't know.
Speaker 1:
[13:33] Because you didn't see it coming.
Speaker 2:
[13:35] Right. I was like, Brian, Brian, Brian. What Brian?
Speaker 1:
[13:38] I do not like a drop by.
Speaker 2:
[13:39] I know. I had no idea. I wish he would. But also, okay, I'm in my pajamas, plaid pajama pants and a hoodie. You're not wearing a necklash. Right. No. Well, I did underneath my- no. So, I'd run upstairs. Oh, hi guys. Let me go run upstairs and change.
Speaker 1:
[14:00] See, Lynette, you're not with the times though, because these days, nobody- people wear pajamas as clothes.
Speaker 2:
[14:06] No, the girl- I know. The girls wear it to school. I know. A hoodie and pajama pants.
Speaker 1:
[14:11] Sadie literally wears her Hollister plaid pajama pants to school for the day.
Speaker 2:
[14:15] That's what I was wearing. Yeah. No. Yeah, I know, but I had no bra on and I didn't wear it, you know?
Speaker 1:
[14:23] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[14:23] I had my slippers, my big-
Speaker 1:
[14:25] I don't know. Don't just stop by. Even 20 minutes notice, like what if I'm doing something that day?
Speaker 2:
[14:32] Right. Well, to be fair to them, no, no, no. Completely. I know.
Speaker 1:
[14:37] Right. No, but Adam didn't tell you.
Speaker 2:
[14:39] Thank you, Adam. I know.
Speaker 1:
[14:41] I'm not talking about them. They didn't do anything wrong, but I'm talking about in general. I don't like it when people go, I'm in the neighborhood.
Speaker 2:
[14:48] You know what? People did that a lot when we lived in Hollywood.
Speaker 1:
[14:52] You know what I always say? Oh, if I'm free, I go, great, I'll meet you somewhere. Because I just don't want to just entertain.
Speaker 2:
[15:03] Come on over. I can't even entertain when I have to plan to entertain. You know what I mean? I'm not that, you and I have talked about, like we are not that kind of person. It like whips up some grapes and cheese and crackers.
Speaker 1:
[15:14] Don't have anything like that in my house.
Speaker 2:
[15:16] No. And even if I wanted to prepare, I get it, and then I go like, all right, how do I put it on the plate, make it look nice? Like, you know, I'm not, it's like I'm not that kind of a person. So it was very jarring.
Speaker 1:
[15:28] That's why you and I get along.
Speaker 2:
[15:29] I know.
Speaker 1:
[15:30] Because I find myself at the grocery store every single day, because every day there's something that I don't have. Plus, here's another problem. When I do have snacks, like when I buy stuff, the kids eat it all in one day. So whatever I buy, say goodbye to. Because if I buy, I could buy a bag of like, you know, cheddar cheese popcorn or something that would be like, oh, if company came over, I could put some of this in a bowl.
Speaker 2:
[15:56] Right.
Speaker 1:
[15:56] No, it's going to be gone in a day.
Speaker 2:
[15:58] Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1:
[15:59] I would have to hide stuff.
Speaker 2:
[16:00] That's what I do. We hide things. Olga is the queen of hiding things. Like, if she buys Girl Scout cookies and brings them over, then I got to text her at night and go, where did you put it there? And she's like, oh, they're in the oven. And then there's times where I'm looking for something in the kitchen and I'll find a box of Oreos. And I'm like, oh, I bet everybody forgot about this. Because she doesn't remember either. Like, she'll put something away when she gets there. And then it's like lost into the ether. And maybe, if you're lucky, you can come across it someday.
Speaker 1:
[16:35] The worst is, and this is something that John and the kids do, and it makes me insane, they will finish something.
Speaker 2:
[16:44] Yes, I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1:
[16:45] The cookies or whatever. Slide the plastic cookie holder thing back in the box, and just put it back. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[16:52] And then you pick up an empty box.
Speaker 1:
[16:54] An empty box? Not, I mean, it's wrong on so many levels. It is. It's just insulting.
Speaker 2:
[16:59] It's an attack, I know.
Speaker 1:
[17:00] It is. I feel attacked.
Speaker 2:
[17:02] Yes. You feel like you're being pranked. Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[17:05] Because first of all, first of all, you just took the last one.
Speaker 2:
[17:11] Right.
Speaker 1:
[17:11] Is it that far a walk to the trash can? No, but are you just that? Are you so weak because you were just so hungry, and now you got to wait for your blood sugar to rise up again and walk it to the trash can? It's so lazy, but it's so aggressively lazy. It's just like a middle finger like, I'm going to put this back. Surprise for the next person that thinks there's some tag alongs left.
Speaker 2:
[17:36] Yeah, right.
Speaker 1:
[17:36] There aren't.
Speaker 2:
[17:37] Right. Because you open the thing and you go, oh, look at there's tag alongs. And then you take the box and it's completely empty.
Speaker 1:
[17:43] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[17:43] Happens all the time.
Speaker 1:
[17:44] And here's one that John does that he thinks he's not doing it. So, okay, first of all, John will take a big box of cereal and he will have a huge, like a cartoonishly big full bowl of cereal with like a little bit of milk and he'll eat that. So what he'll do is, let's say there's a half a box of cereal, he'll use most of it. So there's just some crumbs at the bottom and then put it back.
Speaker 2:
[18:09] And puts that back. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[18:11] That's not a serving of cereal. Either have less cereal in your serving so that there's enough for one more serving of someone's cereal, or finish the fucking box.
Speaker 2:
[18:20] I know. I know. Who's that for? They leave like a thimble left.
Speaker 1:
[18:23] You know why? Because they don't want to throw it away. So they're like, oh, but there's still some left.
Speaker 2:
[18:27] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[18:27] Not enough that anybody will ever use.
Speaker 2:
[18:32] No, I know. I know. It's just like a dust, a dust, a bowl of dust.
Speaker 1:
[18:37] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[18:37] I know.
Speaker 1:
[18:38] Or the milk. There's not even, there's like a teeny-
Speaker 2:
[18:42] Thimble-sized.
Speaker 1:
[18:42] Thimble-sized, not even enough to put in someone's coffee.
Speaker 2:
[18:46] Right.
Speaker 1:
[18:47] Why are you leaving? And it's in a gallon thing, a gallon thing of milk with a teeny-tiny bit on the bottom.
Speaker 2:
[18:54] Right.
Speaker 1:
[18:55] So now half the refrigerator is taken up by the milk that no one can use because there's not enough to even put in your coffee. Yeah. Thank you.
Speaker 2:
[19:01] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[19:01] Thanks, guys. What is that?
Speaker 2:
[19:05] I don't know.
Speaker 1:
[19:06] So therefore, I never have any snack. There's never, even if I've gone, plus, let's say you're a person that does have grapes. How long do grapes realistically last in your kitchen? Right? In your fridge?
Speaker 2:
[19:18] Right.
Speaker 1:
[19:19] I mean, half a week tops, right? So by the time you buy grapes, no one's dropping over during the time that you actually have anything that you could have served them. They come over when you're like, oh, these grapes have been around for like two weeks.
Speaker 2:
[19:33] They're starting to look like raisins. They're like, help.
Speaker 1:
[19:38] And you're like, let me just sift through these grapes to see which ones are still cut off. Oh, here's a good one.
Speaker 2:
[19:43] Here's another good one. This one should pass for a good one. Put it on the good side, on the plate.
Speaker 1:
[19:51] Yeah, put it on the bottom and then, you know, hopefully they won't be that hungry.
Speaker 2:
[19:56] You know what we have at the house that drives me nuts? Cherries. Okay, so Adam walks around the house eating these cherries. What do you think he does with the pits?
Speaker 1:
[20:05] Oh, no.
Speaker 2:
[20:06] He spits three and then he puts it like on the ice. I'm going to take a picture of it. He puts it on his nightstand. I'll walk by and there's three little pits like sitting on his nightstand.
Speaker 1:
[20:18] Yeah, that's so gross.
Speaker 2:
[20:19] What is he doing with it?
Speaker 1:
[20:21] But then he's mad at you about the coffee in the cup.
Speaker 2:
[20:23] Oh, yeah. How dare I leave a spittle left of coffee in my cup. Yeah, there's like pits everywhere around the house of these little... And the cherries, I bring them home and I'm like, what? We got cherries? And then I leave, come back, they're gone. Like, they're half gone and half eaten. The kids, it just... That and pistachio nuts, the shells of the pistachio nuts.
Speaker 1:
[20:42] Everywhere.
Speaker 2:
[20:43] Everywhere. Everywhere. Yeah, it's a nightmare. You know what? Gina, though, Gina gave the nicest compliment. They talked about our show on their show.
Speaker 1:
[20:54] I thought something happened. I think they talked about you talking about...
Speaker 2:
[20:58] About Sonny, talking to Sonny about sex. Yeah, the sex talk.
Speaker 1:
[21:02] The porn talk.
Speaker 2:
[21:03] Yeah, the porn talk.
Speaker 1:
[21:03] Yeah, because I got tagged a bunch.
Speaker 2:
[21:05] I didn't know that. She told me that. And I was like, oh, that's sweet. All right. We'll take it. That's nice. Who knew that somebody was going to listen to my porn talk? But okay.
Speaker 1:
[21:18] People are constantly learning. Oh my God. I'm going to have to talk about this on Patreon.
Speaker 2:
[21:26] Yes.
Speaker 1:
[21:28] But just the thing that happened at the kids school, I'm really done with their school.
Speaker 2:
[21:34] Really? I hate that school now too.
Speaker 1:
[21:37] I talked about the thing on Patreon last week, and I swear to God this isn't like a sales pitch for Patreon. It's just that I honestly can't. I don't want to get in big trouble. But I can say this, the stuff that kids tease each other about, middle school is the worst.
Speaker 2:
[22:00] It is, and I don't know why, because I thought everybody, isn't everybody supposed to be awkward and shy in middle school? So why are they bullying if they're awkward and shy? Like, go be awkward and shy. I don't know. It's just like, it's, they're in that awkward stage, and they're not comfortable, they're not secure in themselves, I guess. I don't know. I mean, I don't know what you're referring to or what happened, but kids are assholes in middle school.
Speaker 1:
[22:30] And you know, the longer we do this show, I do try to have compassion for, because I know for a fact there are lots of kids who have behavior issues, and it's not the parenting. Like, I know that there are things that go on with kids these days where they're just real, have like oppositional defiance disorder. There's these things where parents are just like, I don't know where they're getting this from. We're doing our best to parent them. And I do feel bad for those parents that are getting the calls from the school and like, come pick up your kid, he did this or he said this or, you know, it's got to be really difficult. So I try to have compassion for that. On the other hand, when your kid is the one at the receiving end of it, and it happens over and over, it's like, what, you just...
Speaker 2:
[23:18] I know.
Speaker 1:
[23:18] It's so hard, I'm sure both ways. Yeah. To protect your kid. And you know what? School is just a weird thing. That you parent your kids at home, they probably behave one way at home, and you send them off into the world and they have to be somewhere living by someone else's rules. And you know, for seven hours a day.
Speaker 2:
[23:39] Right. Right. Right.
Speaker 1:
[23:41] No wonder kids hate school a lot.
Speaker 2:
[23:42] Yeah, I know. I know. We talk about this. I mean, we talk about how school just kind of, you know, I don't know. I mean, luckily, I can't believe that my kids are going to go into high school next year. And I don't know, is high school better than middle school?
Speaker 1:
[23:59] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[24:00] It is? Yes. But why?
Speaker 1:
[24:02] Like, I think it's because the kids...
Speaker 2:
[24:05] It doesn't bring a host of new problems.
Speaker 1:
[24:06] It's this weird thing where if you're different in middle school, that's the enemy, like people want to make fun of you and, you know, tear you down if you're different in any way. Suddenly, you get to high school, and people are actually becoming people.
Speaker 2:
[24:24] Right.
Speaker 1:
[24:24] And they're really... It's the age where they're more mature, and they sort of... I mean, of course, there's total mean girls. You know what I... I'll tell you this about... Since now, I'm a little ahead of you in this department. What I have noticed about high school is, if you have a thing, like Elbie's thing has been basketball. So it's really great for her because, you know, on a team, learning how to... As you know, she went through, like, being the star of the team, and then being, like, not getting any playing time, and being the not star of the team, and then she ended up as the point guard, because remember those two girls that were better than her moved up to JV? So she... Anyway, it taught her a lot about, you know, being part of a team and all that stuff. So she had her thing. And the only one that I've noticed where it's a thing, but there's a lot more bitchy girls, is cheerleading. It still seems to be as woke and progressed as a lot of people are in high school. I feel like cheerleading is still this backbiting, like the captain of the cheer squad. I know at LB School it just has a terrible reputation of being super mean and like a mean girl.
Speaker 2:
[25:39] Wow.
Speaker 1:
[25:40] But if you have... I've noticed that the kids that have anything else, like whatever it is, color guard or band or dance or this, they're all seem to be like...
Speaker 2:
[25:50] Left alone?
Speaker 1:
[25:51] Yeah, people are like... People seem to be... LB told me people are really nice especially like the kids that are gay. Like the kids that are gay seem to be more open about it by the time they're in high school. They're kind of like... LB told me there are lots of like gender fluid, like non-conforming kids, and it's not a thing.
Speaker 2:
[26:16] Oh, that's nice.
Speaker 1:
[26:17] Everybody is nice.
Speaker 2:
[26:19] Yeah, that's good to know.
Speaker 1:
[26:21] People are like, you know...
Speaker 2:
[26:25] So, basically, cheerleading is the asshole of the school?
Speaker 1:
[26:28] Well, a couple of LB's friends are on the cheerleading team, and they don't seem to be that happy. Like, it seemed... The cheerleading is so dumb anyway, really.
Speaker 2:
[26:39] I know.
Speaker 1:
[26:40] The kids still see it as like, you know, you get to wear your little cheerleading outfit at school, and they're so cute, but I don't know. I still think it's backward.
Speaker 2:
[26:47] I think it's hard on... Well, it's mostly girls, but I think it's hard on when you're supposed to be a cheerleader and you got to fit. Imagine if you don't feel comfortable in your body. You know, do all those girls feel comfortable? I don't think so. Like, so they got to be... You know, they feel like they have to be on diets or they have to be perfect or who knows, you know, what they're sticking their finger down their throat to be, you know what I mean, watching everything they eat because they got to fit into the little skirt and, you know, shake their ass.
Speaker 1:
[27:15] Yeah, unless it's like cheer, like the show Cheer, where they're actually a competitive, like doing routines and, you know, acrobatics and tumbling. Yeah, it's gymnastic. It's competitive. The type at LB School is not that.
Speaker 2:
[27:33] It's not that, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[27:33] It's just like, go boys. They only cheer for the boys teams, by the way.
Speaker 2:
[27:38] Really? So they don't have the cheerleaders for the girls?
Speaker 1:
[27:42] Nope.
Speaker 2:
[27:43] Oh, that sucks.
Speaker 1:
[27:44] How backward is that? That sucks. Only boys, JV and boys of Varsity have a cheer squad.
Speaker 2:
[27:52] Really?
Speaker 1:
[27:54] Yeah. I think it's ridiculous. What do you think, Kaylyn?
Speaker 3:
[27:59] Yeah, I'd actually never even thought about that before, but now that you brought it up, I was like, yeah, girls, sports, they don't have cheerleaders, which I'd never even thought about that before. It is kind of surprising to stay in age.
Speaker 2:
[28:09] Well, you're going to have to start thinking about it because you got a girl.
Speaker 3:
[28:12] I'm sure they'll have cheerleaders on by the time my daughter is that age.
Speaker 2:
[28:16] Yeah, hopefully. Well, you know, maybe Elbie should make a change at the school. She doesn't want to stand out.
Speaker 1:
[28:27] No, no. Elbie is so funny that way. Sadie and Xander. Well, Sadie, you know, has multi-colored hair always.
Speaker 2:
[28:38] Right.
Speaker 1:
[28:40] She's very much like her own.
Speaker 2:
[28:42] Yeah, and she doesn't care.
Speaker 1:
[28:45] She really doesn't. I mean, it's so interesting. All my kids are so different from each other. They're so different. It's been a very interesting ride for me because I relate to LB in some ways a lot, like a lot. And Sadie, it's like I respect her. She just has, she is more of a, I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2:
[29:07] Right. She has zero. Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[29:10] That's good for her though.
Speaker 2:
[29:12] What color is her hair right now?
Speaker 1:
[29:13] Right now, it's bright blue. It's half blue and half red.
Speaker 2:
[29:17] Really? How the hell do you do that?
Speaker 1:
[29:21] I just, I sort of paint, I bleached it out.
Speaker 2:
[29:25] Right.
Speaker 1:
[29:26] I have to bleach it every so often, like every six months. Not every time, but her hair grows and then you've got to get the roots out. And then I, while I'm doing it, I just bleach the rest of it. And then I just took, I get the semi-permanent, I have to get the super bright colors. And then I just paint it onto the top of her hair, down to a certain point, and then I paint the rest of it on the bottom.
Speaker 2:
[29:48] That seems fun, though.
Speaker 1:
[29:50] She loves, she just has, remember I started doing it when she was like six?
Speaker 2:
[29:55] I know, and she's continuing it. That's awesome. That's awesome.
Speaker 1:
[29:58] Always has colored hair.
Speaker 2:
[29:59] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[29:59] Doesn't care if people, she just doesn't care.
Speaker 2:
[30:03] So and you, so when you talk to Elbie about the high school, are, the twins are gonna go to that school too, right?
Speaker 1:
[30:11] I don't know. I don't know if it's the right school for them.
Speaker 2:
[30:15] Yeah, I mean, what does she think? Does she think that they'll do okay in that school or?
Speaker 1:
[30:21] You know, I don't, I don't know because I want to see where they have other friends going. And I want to see because right now they've been at a small school for a long time.
Speaker 2:
[30:32] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[30:33] Like Elbie couldn't wait to go to a big school.
Speaker 2:
[30:35] Right.
Speaker 1:
[30:35] She was like, I'm so done with this.
Speaker 2:
[30:38] Yeah, she's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[30:39] Like I want to go to a regular school that has football games. And you know what? She's, she's loving what she picked. She loves the fact that there's like on Friday nights, they stay for the, for the game. They stayed for the football games. And then they stayed for the boys basketball, for the basketball games. And she loves her basketball season, by the way, is mercilessly, mercifully, not mercilessly, mercifully done.
Speaker 2:
[31:04] Really?
Speaker 1:
[31:05] So Xander has two more games and they'll be done with him.
Speaker 2:
[31:10] And how does he like it?
Speaker 1:
[31:13] Uh, well, remember Patreon last week? I told you about the kid that was on the team. That's, uh, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[31:19] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[31:20] I mean, but he likes it. He's the point guard. He's the best care on his team.
Speaker 2:
[31:24] Right.
Speaker 1:
[31:24] So that's fun.
Speaker 2:
[31:25] Yeah. You think he's going to continue into when he goes to high school?
Speaker 1:
[31:30] No, because he hates anything competitive.
Speaker 2:
[31:33] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[31:34] He's liking basketball because he's the best one on a bad team. But as soon as there are other kids that are huge ball hogs, he doesn't... I can't make him... He doesn't even want to play for a rec league because it's intimidating for him.
Speaker 2:
[31:51] Yeah. That sucks. Well, yeah. I mean, I remember when I was in high school, I always wanted to go to the high school that had the big games on Friday nights because my school didn't have any of that.
Speaker 1:
[32:07] What were the schools that had it around you?
Speaker 2:
[32:09] Birmingham. Birmingham, Taft, like all those schools, Chatsworth, the other one, El Camino. I wanted to go to El Camino because I sort of lived in that direction.
Speaker 1:
[32:23] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[32:23] But no, Kenoga Park High would have been my school. Yeah, I know. Back then too, my dad was like, no, you're going to go to the magnet school. She sends me to the magnet school. Valley Alternative. Valley Alternative. And it's still there. And I learned a lot about, like I say, Kumbaya, but I didn't get that whole typical traditional Friday night. That school had a team. Suzanne went to Cleveland, so I would go to her school on a Friday night. But my kids like to stay if they're high school.
Speaker 1:
[33:00] Going to the Cleveland, the Humanities Magnet? The one that I almost sent LV to?
Speaker 2:
[33:05] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[33:06] Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:
[33:06] Cool. Yeah. And her older sister went there too, and then her sister went to the art school. But anyway, and so...
Speaker 1:
[33:14] What art school?
Speaker 2:
[33:15] You know, the art school that's in Canyon Country or in Santa Clarita. What do you call it? The performing art school.
Speaker 1:
[33:23] I didn't know there was one. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[33:25] What's the performing art school that's in Santa Clarita area? Anyway, I can't think of the name of it.
Speaker 1:
[33:32] Is it like a fame school?
Speaker 2:
[33:34] I don't know. Her sister was at like artsy fartsy. She's a director of theater now. She's the sister that was mean to me when we were growing up. But she's great now. I remember she's like this also like I'd say wife beater and she go like, this is back in 1982. Right, right, right. I'd say wife beater and she go, oh, oh, oh my god. I can't believe you just said that. Don't ever say that in front of me again. I'm like, why? She goes, that is so offensive. And then she had a girlfriend in college and she was, she's that she was very progressive back then too. But what was I talking about? So, yeah. Did you find it?
Speaker 3:
[34:18] I mean, there is a Santa Clarita School for Performing Arts. There's a Bowman High School, a Canyon High School, but that's just-
Speaker 2:
[34:25] No, no, not high school. That's a college. What's the performing arts college? I don't know.
Speaker 1:
[34:32] You were saying it because you were talking about how you wanted to go to the games, like you wanted to go to the other school.
Speaker 2:
[34:39] Right. But I get to- Now my kids are experiencing that like Friday nights. If the high school has a game on Friday night, they'll go, which is nice. Of course, I have to go pick everybody up at the end of the night because no other moms do, but whatever, it's fine. No, some of the moms do.
Speaker 1:
[34:59] I wonder if our kids- My mom, when I was young, as you know, I don't remember my mom picking me up ever from anything. If you wanted to go somewhere before we either walked, we walked. We walked down. But the thing was, at the age that LB is right now, since we didn't go anywhere, so we would walk. It was in Springfield, Massachusetts. We would walk from my house to this shopping center that was a couple of miles away. And we would go to the liquor store and stand outside the liquor store and try to get somebody to buy us a bottle of schnapps. I know we've talked about this a lot, but and then we would walk down to a shopping center where we would proceed to get really drunk and like make out with guys. And then somebody older than us, because we hung out with older guys, would have a car. Then they'd drive you around a little somewhere to a party or I don't know. And then you'd drink some more. And then you'd get dropped back off by either the older guys and drop you off at your house later, or you'd walk back home drunk from the shopping center.
Speaker 2:
[36:09] At like one o'clock in the morning. I know. I know. I had the same, that was the same thing with me.
Speaker 1:
[36:15] Because we have nothing like that. Like Elbie's life is so controlled in the way of, and she's like, I mean, honest, like the weekend, Saturday, I dropped her off to meet her friend at the mall. And then that girl's parents came and picked them up and took them back to her house, and then they post mated themselves some Chipotle. They ate some food, they laughed, they made some TikTok videos, and then I came and picked her up at like 10.
Speaker 2:
[36:43] Right, right. Yeah, I know. That's like how our, you know, could you imagine if they walked and to go stand out of, stand outside a Valley Ho liquor store, asking like, hey, can you buy me some beer?
Speaker 1:
[36:54] Like, I can't imagine that that's how I lived at Elbie's age of 15. I was fully drinking every weekend.
Speaker 2:
[37:02] I know.
Speaker 1:
[37:05] I can't imagine. But it's such a given now that we just take our kids' places and pick them back up, and that I go to every one of my kids' games if I can.
Speaker 2:
[37:16] Right. Yeah, I know. I wish I, that's the other thing too, is I didn't get to do sports either, because our school didn't really have sports. It was, the only sport was like PE volleyball. That was about it. And I didn't like that, because I was always afraid I'd get hit in the boobs with the ball. I didn't want to run. I didn't want to have anything where a ball was coming at me. That was that.
Speaker 1:
[37:40] So did you have any extracurricular, like what were you interested in? Did you do any, did you have a thing?
Speaker 2:
[37:46] Dance.
Speaker 1:
[37:47] Oh, really?
Speaker 2:
[37:48] But I didn't take dance. I mean, well, I did take dance. I took jazz and tap dance.
Speaker 1:
[37:54] Oh, you did?
Speaker 2:
[37:54] Yes. I took a lot of jazz dance. There was, oh, and horseback riding lessons.
Speaker 1:
[37:59] You did?
Speaker 2:
[38:01] Don't we talk about that?
Speaker 1:
[38:02] No, I don't remember us talking about you.
Speaker 2:
[38:04] Well, let's talk about care.com.
Speaker 1:
[38:05] Nice.
Speaker 2:
[38:06] All right.
Speaker 1:
[38:07] Horseback riding.
Speaker 2:
[38:09] So, my dad always looked for something for me to do. Well, acting too was the other thing.
Speaker 1:
[38:16] Right. Those auditions.
Speaker 2:
[38:17] I pretended I liked it, but I didn't really like it. And on the weekends, he'd take me to, in our area, there's this area that people had horses, and there was this, like, this, like, this Jewish, I think she was, like a Russian Jew, because my dad loves the Jews. I remember she was Jewish, but she had a thick accent. I think she was a Russian Jew. Anyway, she had horses, and her daughter, Daisy, taught me horseback riding.
Speaker 1:
[38:47] That sounds like the horse's name.
Speaker 2:
[38:48] I know, right? Her name was Daisy, and she taught me horseback riding. She was an older girl. And so I'd go horseback riding on a Saturday, and then I would go to the Topanga Mall and go ice skating.
Speaker 1:
[39:01] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[39:03] So I would do that. And then every Saturday, I remember for a long time, like at 11, 12, 13, go horseback riding and then go ice skating. And then when I was like 15, 16, then I was at my friend Pam's house, the one that's a no-getter. And I'd be at her house all the time because she lived in Van Nuys by my school. So every day after school, I'd walk to her house, especially on a Friday, and spend the whole weekend there. And then my mom had to eventually come looking for me and knock on the door. And that's when like the brothers answered the door.
Speaker 1:
[39:37] So she would drive out to Van Nuys and come get you?
Speaker 2:
[39:40] Yeah, because she'd call and call and nobody would want to answer the phone.
Speaker 1:
[39:43] Right.
Speaker 2:
[39:44] Callum Paradise is calling again. To a point where my friend Pam would unplug her phone. Yeah. And then so then I wouldn't hear from her and then she'd show up. Like there she is in her convertible Mustang. And yeah, and so.
Speaker 1:
[39:59] So you kind of quit the horseback riding?
Speaker 2:
[40:01] Yeah, when I was like 11, 12, when I was still in that preteen area, I was still with my dad on the weekends.
Speaker 1:
[40:10] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[40:10] And we'd watch TV at night, you know, together. We'd watch Love Boat, Fantasy Island.
Speaker 1:
[40:15] Saturday night.
Speaker 2:
[40:16] I know. The best. We'd go and buy like Cheetos and orange soda because that's what I wanted. And then we'd watch. He'd watch. Or as I got, as I remember, as I started to get a little older and I wouldn't come home on a Friday night, I'd be at Pam's house. He would record Miami Vice because I was in love with Don Johnson. I loved that show. So he would record Miami Vice for me. I'd come home and watch it on Sunday when I got home from my friend Pam's house, if my mom didn't come and drag me out by my hair before then.
Speaker 1:
[40:48] So wait, so you were with your dad every weekend?
Speaker 2:
[40:51] Pretty, when I was young, yeah.
Speaker 1:
[40:53] But your mom would come get you?
Speaker 2:
[40:55] No, I mean, my mom and dad lived together. I would just hang out with my dad on the weekends. I just remember being with my dad all the time, going with him to run errands. And then after horseback riding lessons, then he'd take me for ice cream, or he'd take me on my auditions if I had an audition. But then as I started to get older, I ditched my dad on the weekends, because my dad stayed with my mom until I had my own life kind of thing. I was dating Mike Gerstein, and that's when I was in high school. Then he moved out. But until then, he stuck around with my crazy mom. So yeah, and then I'd go spend the weekend at Pam's house, and that's when we would go to the liquor store and go get booze, and then go to the school parking lot, not our school. Another, it was like on Encino Way, I think it was. It was Encino Elementary School, I think. Anyway, and we'd go there and we'd get drunk, and Mike Gerstein would show up in his car.
Speaker 1:
[41:59] That's my kid's home elementary school, by the way.
Speaker 2:
[42:01] Really?
Speaker 1:
[42:02] That's where they would have gone had I gone that direction.
Speaker 2:
[42:06] On Encino Avenue?
Speaker 1:
[42:09] I don't know.
Speaker 2:
[42:10] Like on Balboa, near White Oak and...
Speaker 1:
[42:14] Oh, no. You're thinking of like... What school is that? Well, this is kind of in the weeds for our listeners. But well, there's a school that's basically over there. It's called like Rhoda Street School, though, or something. It's not really a school anymore. It's like a school just for special needs kids.
Speaker 2:
[42:31] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[42:31] Or Emelita is also over there. Hmm.
Speaker 2:
[42:36] Yeah, I don't, I don't reme- I just know it was on Encino Avenue, because it was in Enc- anyway.
Speaker 1:
[42:41] Yeah, that's the school. I walk over there all the time with Penelope.
Speaker 2:
[42:44] Yeah. Well, that's where I threw up a lot, in that parking lot. Wow.
Speaker 1:
[42:49] That's so interesting.
Speaker 2:
[42:50] Yeah. And that's, that was my area.
Speaker 1:
[42:52] Our show should just be called like Two Valley Girls.
Speaker 2:
[42:54] I know. Totally. Yeah. And then there's Valley Ho Liquor Store that was kind of on the other, like Victory, whatever, anyway. That was the liquor store that we would go to.
Speaker 1:
[43:07] And then our kids' lives are so different.
Speaker 2:
[43:10] I know.
Speaker 1:
[43:10] It's crazy. How different, how I don't want to say controlled, but, you know, if your kids are not in an activity, it's weird.
Speaker 2:
[43:21] Right.
Speaker 1:
[43:21] Like so many. I was last night, I was walking Penelope. It was like, I mean, it was early, but it's dark out early, so it seemed like it was late at night. It's like seven o'clock at night. And I was walking down one of the blocks in our neighborhood, and there were like three boys outside, like horsing around, as I say, as I sound like such an old mom, horsing around. But there was kids playing outside, like young teens probably. And it was so odd. It was like, wow.
Speaker 2:
[43:54] What are you guys doing?
Speaker 1:
[43:55] I was distrustful. I was like, oh, what are these hoodlums doing outside? And then I realized how crazy that was, because it's just you're so not used to seeing it.
Speaker 2:
[44:04] Yes.
Speaker 1:
[44:04] But when I was a kid, that's all we did was like go hang outside. Nowadays, if you're outside, like why are you not doing something?
Speaker 2:
[44:13] Right. Right.
Speaker 1:
[44:14] I don't know. It's just such a weird, but yet it's really hard on the kids that don't have a thing.
Speaker 2:
[44:22] Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1:
[44:22] They're kind of left out.
Speaker 2:
[44:24] Right. Yeah. I think that maybe...
Speaker 1:
[44:27] I mean, Elbie's thing nowadays is really going to the mall.
Speaker 2:
[44:31] Yeah, I know. That's Natalia's thing. If she can get a ride.
Speaker 1:
[44:35] She will go shopping anytime, anywhere, like take me shopping.
Speaker 2:
[44:38] I know. I remember being like that. I remember wanting to go to the mall all the time.
Speaker 1:
[44:44] I just never had any money because my parents didn't give me money to buy clothes ever.
Speaker 2:
[44:48] It was a place to hang out.
Speaker 1:
[44:50] Right.
Speaker 2:
[44:51] And I was not allowed to walk to the mall. I lived at Falbrook and Sherman Way, and the Topanga Mall is over on Topanga.
Speaker 1:
[44:58] Right.
Speaker 2:
[44:59] And my friends would walk to the mall. I was not allowed to go that way. I was not allowed to go past Topanga or whatever. And so I remember just being sitting at home bored until my friends got home from the mall. Or if my dad could drop me off.
Speaker 1:
[45:14] So interesting. I feel like I would allow my kids to walk. There is like a Coffee Bean, Starbucks. I mean, my twins are 12. I feel like they could go walk to Coffee Bean and for an adventure.
Speaker 2:
[45:29] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[45:30] I can't imagine the member doing that or wanting to.
Speaker 2:
[45:33] Yeah. If their friends are, though, they're like Veal.
Speaker 1:
[45:38] They don't, you know what I mean? They'd be like, huh? With what? Using what? Your muscles. Go use them. You have legs. You know what I mean, though? They're just like, what? Do what? Walk? How far? Cross a, they'd probably be like, but we'd have to cross Burbank Boulevard. Yeah. Go to a freaking crosswalk and cross the street. You're 12. But it would be so odd for them to think about going for a walk. But I want to go, you have freedom. You could do that.
Speaker 2:
[46:10] I would do that. I know. It was funny because Anthony, who's very protective, we went to Old Town Pasadena on Saturday night, took him out to dinner and my other niece and Sonny and Natalia, and Natalia brought a friend. And we were walking around Old Town Pasadena, waiting for our table. It was like 8 o'clock at night. Natalia and her friend wanted to walk to some store. And I go, okay, meet us at the restaurant. Anthony's like, no, you're going to let them walk? And I go, they're 13. They can walk. They're together. This place is bustling with people. It's fine. And he's like, I'm going to go with them. I'm going to go with them.
Speaker 1:
[46:47] Really?
Speaker 2:
[46:47] Yeah. I go, you don't have to, Anthony. He goes, no, no, I want to. I want to. I want to hear what they talk about. And, you know, Natalia's like, yes, come with us, Anthony. But he's like, no, you're going to let them. I go, what? I can't let them walk around. They're 13. The restaurant's right here. The store's over there across the street. What's the big deal? Geez, old man.
Speaker 1:
[47:07] Who was it? It was somebody like on the FSUA, like on the Real It In page that was talking about not wanting to drop their kid off at Disneyland, which I totally get the first time you do that, it's weird. But I started dropping Elbie off by herself at Magic Mountain by 12, I think with her friends. My feeling is they're with friends. They're in a place with tons of employees. Right.
Speaker 2:
[47:33] Yeah, and if they're with their friends.
Speaker 1:
[47:34] And somebody else that's, yeah, and they're with a friend, I guess it depends on the kid maybe, but what are they going to do?
Speaker 2:
[47:40] Well, and also too, if they've been there before, I get if they've never been there before.
Speaker 1:
[47:47] Of course.
Speaker 2:
[47:47] Whatever. But yeah, what are they going to do? What are they going to do? Wander off into the weeds by themselves?
Speaker 1:
[47:54] I'm trying to think, maybe Elbie, I didn't start dropping her off at a place like, maybe she was 13, but definitely by 13, by eighth grade, I was like, yeah, go have fun.
Speaker 2:
[48:04] And look, I even feel like I'm more protective than a lot of people, but at the 13th, Me too. I feel like at 13, Yeah. And they're with their friends.
Speaker 1:
[48:16] They have a phone.
Speaker 2:
[48:17] Right. They have a phone. That's another thing.
Speaker 1:
[48:19] If shit goes sideways, they call you and go, come get me.
Speaker 2:
[48:23] Plus, I have that Life 360. I can see where they are. Sonny got up one morning the other day. And he was like, I'm going on the trails. Did I tell you this? Yeah. And I'm watching him, and he's like all off to some in the mountains. And I go, where are you? And he goes, I know where I am. He goes, I'm on some trail. He said the name of the trail. And I was like, I don't know. I don't like this. Do you know where you are? Because I don't know where you are. And he goes, I know where I am. And I go, you're all the way by So-and-so Boulevard. You're pretty far. And he goes, yeah, I know where I am. I go, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1:
[48:56] He just goes by himself?
Speaker 2:
[48:58] I don't like that. On trails. I know. On a Saturday in the middle of the day. Bring a friend.
Speaker 1:
[49:04] Why doesn't he have a friend to take him with?
Speaker 2:
[49:06] He likes to, I mean, he would, but I don't know. Sometimes he goes in the morning before school, which that one, he stays, it's close by. But, and I do know the trails that he's on. There's a lot of people, there's a lot of people, but still, it's a trail. Like, you can run into like an animal, like you're in a, what if you run, there's bears in our area. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1:
[49:28] Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[49:29] I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1:
[49:29] Please give him mace.
Speaker 2:
[49:31] Right, I know.
Speaker 1:
[49:31] Pepper spray.
Speaker 2:
[49:32] I have something for him. He doesn't take it with him, but, wow.
Speaker 1:
[49:37] All right. We gotta save something for Friday's show.
Speaker 2:
[49:41] All right.
Speaker 1:
[49:42] Thank you, everybody. Thanks, Kaylin.
Speaker 2:
[49:44] Thank you.
Speaker 1:
[49:44] You're a parent now.
Speaker 2:
[49:45] Don't eff it up.
