7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,600
Welcome to F-C-O-L.

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,880
- Hey Stephanie.

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,720
- Hi.

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,640
- It's so good to see you this weekend.

11
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,280
- I know, so fun.

12
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,240
- We had a great weekend.

13
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,600
- We have the best time at Pat.

14
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,640
- We're literally where we are.

15
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Look how beautiful it looks.

16
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,480
They put it back together.

17
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,160
- Yeah, our studio, yes.

18
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,720
It's nice and clean because it was over the weekend,

19
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,560
like the green room for the party.

20
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,160
- Yes, yes.

21
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,720
- As Patrick had a party on Saturday.

22
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Our friend Patrick Hickey from Bad TV,

23
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,800
shout out Bad TV.

24
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,320
He had a party, okay.

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,160
So there's so much funny about this party.

26
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,720
So Patrick invited me to this.

27
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,800
It was billed as a music festival.

28
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,000
- Uh-huh.

29
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,680
And I guess this was the second year?

30
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,760
I didn't come last year.

31
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,600
- Yeah.

32
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,960
He did like a couple of years ago,

33
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:15,680
he did his backyard like the Hollywood,

34
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,600
but comes Patrick loves the Hollywood Bowl.

35
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,960
And so I think it was like a year after COVID

36
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,840
or like, I don't know, like 18 months after COVID.

37
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080
He had like a backyard gathering small

38
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,080
and he had like, he made it like the Hollywood Bowl.

39
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,760
So everybody was eating like outside

40
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,080
and then the band was playing outside.

41
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,240
And then he loved it.

42
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,080
And then yes, last year he did one,

43
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,520
but he had like two bands play I think

44
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,960
and it really wasn't focused on kids.

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Although there were kids there, it was like a family,

46
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,120
but it was like a mixture of kids and adults

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,240
and then there was a DJ guy playing music

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,960
and there was karaoke, but that wasn't,

49
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,320
I don't think when was the karaoke,

50
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,800
when was you in Robin there the year before

51
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280
when you guys, that was a karaoke party though.

52
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,080
Yeah, that wasn't the like music festival.

53
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,920
- That wasn't a music festival.

54
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:11,920
- That was different.

55
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:12,760
Okay.

56
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,760
- It's just like a summer party.

57
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,760
- Okay.

58
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Was it a fourth of July party?

59
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,920
No, I think it was just a summer party.

60
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,000
- This was a summer party.

61
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,840
- Yeah.

62
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,400
So anyway, yeah, this was the second year of doing

63
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,560
like bands playing in the backyard, inviting like parents

64
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,040
and their kids.

65
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,000
So I didn't, I mean, I assume that there would be

66
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,440
a lot of kids because Patrick's kids are young.

67
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,640
They're like Kaelin's kids age.

68
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:36,640
- Mm-hmm.

69
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,880
- Well, the older Ellie is the same age

70
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,920
as Kaelin's older daughter.

71
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:42,760
- Right.

72
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,600
- Right.

73
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,080
And then Patrick has a baby, the baby is not quite too.

74
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,320
- Mm-hmm.

75
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,480
- Okay, so he told me he's having this music festival

76
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,040
and I said, hey, do you want to have Zander's band?

77
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,840
I just threw it out there because he had,

78
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,280
he literally had planned a couple gigs over the summer.

79
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,800
Zander's band called GuyLiner.

80
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,560
So Patrick was like, yeah, absolutely.

81
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,000
So Chris Luxemann is playing and then there's a band

82
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,800
called Beat Buds.

83
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,520
Now when you think Beat Buds, you think like,

84
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Stoner, I was thinking like Reggae music.

85
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,320
I don't know.

86
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,960
I'm thinking Buds, right?

87
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,800
I'm thinking like, yeah, some kind of sort of Stoner

88
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,880
fun party music, right?

89
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:28,720
- Right, right.

90
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,880
- Hey, it's the Beat Buds, right?

91
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,760
That's what I'm thinking.

92
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
So he said, so the Beat Buds will play first

93
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,280
and then Zander's band can they do three songs after.

94
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,080
I was like, yeah.

95
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,280
So Zander was all into it.

96
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,280
So we get here for the party and it is like so many little kids.

97
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320
It was like like romper room.

98
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,000
I mean, the backyard, all blankets on the ground

99
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,400
was kind of a BYUB and people were eating,

100
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,720
sitting on blankets and little kids like five and six

101
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,200
for three or five, yes.

102
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,960
Yes, yes.

103
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,440
We're just mosh pitting it up in the front of the stage.

104
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,280
Yeah.

105
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,960
- So, but meanwhile, my kids came to Soundcheck early, right?

106
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,400
There's no sign of the Beat Buds, but Chris is there, right?

107
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Chris is there.

108
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
He does his Soundcheck, super professional.

109
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,720
And then like I said, my kids came and they brought,

110
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,480
they plugged in their amps like little professionals.

111
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Meanwhile, we're all like, where's the Beat Buds?

112
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,480
Where are the Beat Buds at?

113
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,200
So we just don't know what to expect.

114
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Well, suddenly the Beat Buds arrive at its two guys

115
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,240
and they're both wearing like green t-shirts

116
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680
that say Beat Buds on it.

117
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,840
Still don't really get,

118
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:47,760
I don't get what's about to happen.

119
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,600
- Right.

120
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,720
- What it turns out, as you know, is that this is like a

121
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,080
fresh beat band.

122
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,480
This is like a newer version of the fresh beat band.

123
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,320
- Yes.

124
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,160
- They've been around.

125
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,680
They're apparently super popular.

126
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,520
- Patrick hired them.

127
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,360
- Okay.

128
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,360
- Yeah, Patrick paid them.

129
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,560
They're not like struggling musicians trying to do a fun gig.

130
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,400
- Right.

131
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,600
- They're like a very popular kids band.

132
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,840
- I didn't know that.

133
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,680
- Patrick bought them and then invited all these kids.

134
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Do you remember when my kids were a little

135
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800
and I would tell you I would take them to see Gwendolyn?

136
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,640
- Yeah.

137
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,320
- I took them to see the fresh beat band.

138
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,600
There's another Yo Gabba Gabba type.

139
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,920
- Oh yeah, the Yo Gabba.

140
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,440
- It's kids music.

141
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,280
- Right.

142
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,440
- So it was so funny because they're doing like the parachute.

143
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,480
- Yeah, kids and the wheels and them.

144
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,960
- It's like a round end.

145
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,720
- It's a fucking kids party.

146
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,600
So at first I was just like, oh no,

147
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,200
how's this gonna go for, you know,

148
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,520
my kids are about to sing like Oasis, the chair.

149
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,240
- Yeah, yeah, you're right, right, right.

150
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,280
- They're gonna rock, right, right.

151
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,280
But and then the under was like,

152
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:54,120
you, it's all good, it's fun.

153
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,960
- You text me and you're like, you were here

154
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,960
and I was like, I'll be there by this time.

155
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,800
And then I text you and I'm like,

156
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,200
I'm in the Uber on my way and I'm thinking I'm gonna miss

157
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,920
Zander because I thought Zander was gonna be playing first

158
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,800
so I didn't know the beep buds were playing.

159
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,960
- Oh yeah, the beep buds were the main part.

160
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,800
- I didn't know that.

161
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,040
So I'm like, can you like step on it

162
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040
and I had this like slowest driver,

163
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120
like people on the freeway were platforming me

164
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,280
and I said something in my text you.

165
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:31,600
I was like, I'd rather just gotta do I at this fucking point.

166
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,520
I just wanna get to the fucking party.

167
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Like Suzanne's on her way to meet me there.

168
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,720
- Oh yeah, well that's because I was like,

169
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,720
I don't know that you really needed to Uber.

170
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,120
I was like, that's what you saw.

171
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,320
- Oh yeah, drinking event.

172
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,240
- Right, and you're like, I don't know, yeah.

173
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520
You really like, there's all, it's all four year old.

174
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,160
Not a lot of boo's going and I was like, oh, okay.

175
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640
- Well, not saying that they didn't have alcohol

176
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,840
that you couldn't drink, but I was like, I don't know how fun it's,

177
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:58,840
I don't know who's like,

178
00:06:58,840 --> 00:06:59,840
- It's like party-ing really.

179
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,120
- Yeah, they didn't expect it.

180
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,120
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

181
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,200
I mean, I knew there were gonna be a lot of kids there

182
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,840
and I knew it was gonna be like a rager

183
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,960
people doing shots and stuff, but you know,

184
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,200
it's a barbecue you have a couple beers

185
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,200
and I don't wanna take the risk, but yeah, you're like,

186
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
there's just all, it's a sea, it was a sea of little kids.

187
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,440
- Oh yeah, it was so funny.

188
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,520
But once I adjusted to the fact that I was like,

189
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,800
this is gonna be silly fun.

190
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,440
It's gonna be fine.

191
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,440
So then you arrived with Suzanne.

192
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,000
You give a Suzanne.

193
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Okay, so you walk in, you're like, I'm here.

194
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,000
I see you in the driveway.

195
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,760
I see your blonde friend and I know Suzanne

196
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,240
to be blonde.

197
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Now keep in mind I've met Suzanne one time

198
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,600
unless it was freaking Jody, but I know Suzanne

199
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,120
at your house in the Hollywood Hills.

200
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,120
- Uh-huh.

201
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,640
- Two houses ago.

202
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,400
And she had super short blonde hair at the time.

203
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Do you remember?

204
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,920
- She'd never had short hair.

205
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,880
- Then maybe she was wearing like, she could have had it.

206
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,640
- I don't know, but okay, so I'm like, okay, so yeah,

207
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
she's like, you know, it's been like 10 years

208
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,520
since I met her at least.

209
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,520
So she walks in and I was like super happy to meet her

210
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,280
you know, and I was like, hey, Suzanne, I was like,

211
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,520
oh my God, I go, I'm Stephanie, I'm, you know, Stephanie.

212
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,280
And she's like, hi, and I said, yeah, I go, I have not seen you.

213
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,400
I go, I've met you at her house

214
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
when it was in the Hollywood Hills, like by the reservoir.

215
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520
And she was like, oh my God, that's so funny.

216
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,160
So I was like, yeah, well, it's good to see you again,

217
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,160
you know, and she goes, I know you too.

218
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,400
So then life goes on, we're all hanging out.

219
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,640
And then another woman comes up to me and she's like,

220
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,160
oh my gosh, hi, she's like, I'm Suzanne.

221
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,920
(laughing)

222
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,280
- It's like a totally different person.

223
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,160
And I was like, wait, what?

224
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,000
(laughing)

225
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Who's, who's that other lady who I was talking to?

226
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,080
She was like, what?

227
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,360
I don't know what you're talking about.

228
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,320
I was like, well, I met fake Suzanne.

229
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,880
(laughing)

230
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120
That is, did not fucking correct me

231
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,000
when I was called her Suzanne

232
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,440
and told her when I last saw her.

233
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,680
She just nodded.

234
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:14,000
- She, I didn't know.

235
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400
Okay, first of all, I didn't come with Suzanne.

236
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,200
Suzanne got here like 15, 20 minutes after I got here.

237
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,040
- Oh my God.

238
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,880
- Yeah.

239
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,760
So that girl did walk in after I noticed

240
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,360
that she was walking in the same time I walked in.

241
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,200
- Uh-huh.

242
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,200
- But yeah, that was not Suzanne.

243
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,520
- Yeah, I thought you guys were Uber together.

244
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,000
(laughing)

245
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,840
- So I was like, of course, that's Suzanne.

246
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,640
You only were walking up the driveway

247
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,160
with one blonde person.

248
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,520
- Right, right, right, right, right.

249
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,240
How did this bitch not correct me though?

250
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,240
- I don't even know.

251
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,560
And then you're like, so then you're like,

252
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:44,680
there's fake Suzanne.

253
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:45,520
- Yeah.

254
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,440
- And I was like, and she was like looking at a smiling face.

255
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,280
- I know.

256
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,240
- And I was like, who is she?

257
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,040
She kind of looked a little familiar,

258
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,960
but I don't know if she was.

259
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,800
Because maybe she was like, should I know her?

260
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,640
Like, yeah, she was probably like,

261
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,400
she was probably like, I don't wanna be like,

262
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,920
I don't know who you are.

263
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,280
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, she wanna be rude.

264
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,360
I guess, I do feel like I said Suzanne though.

265
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,760
I was pretty confident that she was,

266
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,080
I mean, I wasn't questioning it at all.

267
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,040
I was like, yeah, that's there Suzanne.

268
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,040
- Right, right.

269
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,280
(laughing)

270
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,920
She's gonna be very happy to make my acquaintance again.

271
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,840
(laughing)

272
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Yeah, she did keep staring at us.

273
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
And she was like, yeah, she was staring at us.

274
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,120
And, no, yeah, then Suzanne came with her boyfriend.

275
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,560
Who she met on match.

276
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,440
- Right, like five years ago.

277
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,440
- Who's so nice.

278
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,760
- He's super sweet.

279
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:41,760
- He's adorable.

280
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:42,600
- Yeah, I loved him.

281
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,960
- Yeah, he was really nice.

282
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,120
And she just moved in with him, right?

283
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,960
Because they had to wait for their kids to grow up.

284
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,120
- Yep.

285
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,440
He raised four kids.

286
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,280
- Yeah.

287
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,480
- So, she lives way far away now.

288
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,920
She's like in the city.

289
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,640
And so they came separate.

290
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,160
And they're, and no, he drove, he drove.

291
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,800
But yeah, and then Suzanne was like,

292
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,800
oh my God, Stephanie's kids are freaking awesome.

293
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,120
She's like, they are so sweet and so polite.

294
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,200
And that Elby, she kept talking about Elby

295
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,760
'cause we went out after dinner, we went had dinner.

296
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,200
And she's like, that Elby is unbelievable.

297
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Like, she is not like a kid.

298
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,000
The things that come out of her mouth,

299
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,320
I go, you know, she wants to be a therapist.

300
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,840
She goes, I could totally see that.

301
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Like, she would be great.

302
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,920
- Except that I don't think she wants to be a therapist.

303
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,840
- She is. - I think that.

304
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,280
She was like, oh, help people, shmell people.

305
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,720
- Yeah. - Yeah.

306
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,960
- I wanna be in the entertainment bit.

307
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,600
I don't, she doesn't know what she wants to do.

308
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,600
- Right, right.

309
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,680
- And then she was like, say he was so cute.

310
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,120
And then she was like, and Zander had such a great personality.

311
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,200
He was so funny.

312
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,760
And he was fucking rocked.

313
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,440
Like he was so good.

314
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,360
Even Ray was like, yeah.

315
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,160
Like, they're good.

316
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,120
So it was really cute because,

317
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,040
so the beat beds go up and they're full on kids music.

318
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,720
And we were like, okay, interesting.

319
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,160
They played for a long time because they were paid.

320
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,800
- Yeah, now they did play for a long time.

321
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880
- A long, long time, which was the kid,

322
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,280
which was all for the kids.

323
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,120
- Right.

324
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,920
- So then they finished and then Zander and his band

325
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,480
got up there and they just did their thing.

326
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,480
And it was so cute.

327
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,040
They played a replacement song.

328
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:22,880
- I know.

329
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,160
- Cause John loves their replacements.

330
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,000
- Yeah.

331
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,520
- And so they did a replacement song.

332
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,880
And I saw a lot of adults like, all right.

333
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,120
- I like this.

334
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,800
- Yeah, you felt really proud of them.

335
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,320
And then they did, the next song was Zander's original song.

336
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,160
- Right.

337
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,960
- And he wrote and the lyrics and they all played that.

338
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
And then they played an Oasis song.

339
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,800
- Right.

340
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,440
- Oh, yeah, that one.

341
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,280
- Yeah.

342
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,120
- Yeah.

343
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:47,960
- That one.

344
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,840
So then, yeah.

345
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Every Patrick was like, holy shit, they were so good.

346
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:55,920
- Yeah, I know.

347
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:56,920
I know.

348
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,160
A lot of people were like, I love when I saw

349
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,160
the adults rocking out to them.

350
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,000
- I know.

351
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
- That was the best.

352
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,800
Like when they were like, what?

353
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,800
The adults were like, wow.

354
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,200
Patrick sent me a text that night and he goes, honestly,

355
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,360
a guy liner was the highlight of the night.

356
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,400
And then he said, are they available?

357
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,200
He said I might have a birthday party for them to perform.

358
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,040
- Oh, really?

359
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,320
- And then I was like, yeah, where and when

360
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,200
and he goes, hold on, getting the details.

361
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,720
And then I haven't heard from him.

362
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,560
- Yeah.

363
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:26,400
All right.

364
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,680
But watch Patrick be like their road manager.

365
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:29,760
- I know.

366
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,760
- I could see that.

367
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,320
- So Patrick was in a boy band, right?

368
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,720
- Yes.

369
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,120
And they were kind of popular?

370
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,480
- I guess so.

371
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,880
He's from Boston, you know, he like the Boston area.

372
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,760
And I kind of want to look it up.

373
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,600
- You know the name of it?

374
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,600
Of his boy band?

375
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,880
- Patrick, I'm looking him up.

376
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,040
His name's not.

377
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:56,240
Well, there's a Patrick Hickey soccer player.

378
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,080
That's not him.

379
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,400
It does a Patrick Hickey park.

380
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,160
I'm gonna write boy band.

381
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,960
- I don't know.

382
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,320
I think they were famous.

383
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,320
I can't remember.

384
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,920
I've heard the story a few times,

385
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,280
but I think they were famous more in his in the local scene

386
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,280
around where he was like in the Boston area.

387
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,600
And I just remember seeing picture of him

388
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,520
and his hair was like dyed like blonde

389
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
and like tip like frosted tips and stuff.

390
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,240
- Oh, hilarious.

391
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,080
- Yeah.

392
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,920
- Yeah.

393
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,040
- How Patrick Hickey is one of the nicest people.

394
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,040
- Yeah, he is.

395
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,880
- He really is.

396
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,680
- How was he so nice in giving?

397
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,880
And then like, I mean, I've known him for so long now.

398
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,600
I first for a while, I was like,

399
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,800
there's something going on with him.

400
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,800
What does he want?

401
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Why is he so nice?

402
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,360
Like, I was just, you know, 'cause he kinda,

403
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,760
I don't remember how he met,

404
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,760
but he wanted to do business with Corolla Drinks and stuff.

405
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,040
And I was just like, this guy's so smart.

406
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720
And then I got to know him really well

407
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,200
and then worked with him, then hired him.

408
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,360
And I know.

409
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,880
And now like just dear friends with him to this day.

410
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000
And he's just him and his wife,

411
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,600
they're this really like the sweet most down to earth.

412
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Like just always up for sure.

413
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,560
Hey, yeah, like that's what I loved about Patrick.

414
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,680
When you're especially you're running an alcohol business

415
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,440
where there's like red tape galore, you know,

416
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,760
he's like, all right, that didn't work.

417
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,760
Let's figure something out.

418
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:21,760
How about we do that?

419
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,640
You know, he's a problem solver.

420
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,400
He will always be upbeat and always be willing

421
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,720
to try and find a solution to something

422
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120
which is what you want when you're working with somebody.

423
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,240
And then he's just the most friendly as person.

424
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,960
And like funny and just sweet kind.

425
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,800
And I love his wife.

426
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,000
She's so nice.

427
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,280
She's super sweet.

428
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,240
And she like last time this year was it last?

429
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,320
I don't know.

430
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,880
I remember one party he had and she was like nine months pregnant.

431
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,040
And I was just like my and with a toddler.

432
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,440
And they're saying, you know, it's a huge party going in the house.

433
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,920
And I was like, you must be wanting to like just shut this party

434
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,920
down any minute.

435
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,640
And she's like, no, it's fine.

436
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Like we love to entertain.

437
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,720
I was like, okay, I don't, but you guys do you like all come to your parties?

438
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,200
They love they like to have parties.

439
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,440
I know.

440
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,200
Yeah.

441
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,600
He was like, he's just he's just very kind.

442
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,840
And he was just going on and on about

443
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,720
the Sanders band and they're so talented and it was really cute.

444
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,720
Yeah.

445
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,720
And they're loved it.

446
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,720
Did he?

447
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,720
Yeah.

448
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,600
And he said people or other people are coming up and being like, you were so you were really

449
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,600
good.

450
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Yeah.

451
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,600
Sounded professional.

452
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,600
They sounded like a real band.

453
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,600
They did.

454
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,600
They sounded like a real band.

455
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,600
He's great voice.

456
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,600
The instruments.

457
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,240
They played great.

458
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,400
They sounded great.

459
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,240
I liked watching them rock out to Laxamana's band to Chris's band, Laxie.

460
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,840
Well, that's what I was going to say too is I know you've been going to them for years.

461
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,040
I mean, you've seen them play, but I'd never hurt them.

462
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,720
You've never seen them.

463
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,880
I mean, I feel like they played the barbecue, but I don't, but I feel like.

464
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,880
You really pay attention.

465
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,400
No, I might have left before they played because it was a, like, a long lead up before they

466
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,160
play because I watched, I know I saw Dawson play.

467
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,160
Right.

468
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,160
Right.

469
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,160
So, yeah, they were always like the headliner.

470
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,160
Yeah.

471
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Yeah, they're, they're great.

472
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:30,640
And people don't expect it because Chris is such like this, you know, quiet, very studious,

473
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,800
very sweet kid.

474
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:39,120
And then he gets up there and he's just rocking out and he's like singing with passion.

475
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:42,240
His voice is amazing.

476
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,440
He's so good.

477
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,440
Mm-hmm.

478
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,400
You're like, how's this cute little guy?

479
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:52,560
Like little teddy bear looking guy is suddenly like singing like, you know, sonny used to come

480
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,160
hourly, hourly.

481
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:02,120
Because Chris would, Chris would go on trips with Sonny and Adam when they would go to

482
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:07,320
like a Monterey and Chris would have to be there working and he would always look out

483
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:13,480
for Sonny and, you know, like, take care of Sonny and Sonny had an owl, stuffy.

484
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Oh.

485
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,680
And he was like, you know, looks like Chris.

486
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,000
Put the big eyes.

487
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Yeah.

488
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
So I love Chris.

489
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,280
I have a special spot in my heart for Chris.

490
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,280
Yeah.

491
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,280
It's a sweet heart.

492
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:34,160
Dawson seemed more, a little more like cleaned up.

493
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,160
He did.

494
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,160
Right?

495
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,600
I haven't seen him in years and I only saw him for a second.

496
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,600
Yeah.

497
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,320
I came in and gave my, he was the first person I saw and he's like, you just miss bald

498
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,720
Brian.

499
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,600
And I was like, ah, because I didn't know bald Brian was, he was at the party.

500
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,120
He was not for very long.

501
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:54,840
I think they had something else to do.

502
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:55,840
Yeah.

503
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,000
But as I told you, all Brian seemed like he was doing great.

504
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Yeah.

505
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Good.

506
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Yeah.

507
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Yeah.

508
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Which is crazy, right?

509
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I mean, he's had brain cancer for like, a ton of years, right?

510
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Yeah.

511
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Twelve years, something.

512
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Yeah.

513
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Over 12 years.

514
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,200
13.

515
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,280
I think it may be been 17 years or something like that by now.

516
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Yeah.

517
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Where he got a diagnosis that wasn't looking good.

518
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Yeah.

519
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280
And he only had like a couple of months.

520
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Yeah.

521
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,280
He seemed great.

522
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,280
He seemed good.

523
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,280
As good.

524
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,280
He was, was totally normal.

525
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,280
Good.

526
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,280
Yeah.

527
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,280
Yeah.

528
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,880
And by my wisdom, I know.

529
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:43,000
It was such a funny crowd because it was like a few, corolla people, you know?

530
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:49,040
But then like tons of like moms and dads and little kids and little kids, tons of little

531
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,040
kids.

532
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,040
Yeah.

533
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,520
And then it was really cute because so it's just funny having high school kids in a band

534
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,520
because the parents are really proud.

535
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Right.

536
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,120
So we do these shows at school as you know that we that are like fundraisers for the school

537
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,320
and all the parents come.

538
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:12,080
But the guy, the drummer guy, who names Jacob, he's just like adorable.

539
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,080
He's very tall.

540
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,080
Yeah.

541
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,920
And I always thought, I was bummed for Xander because I'm like, oh, he's graduating and Xander's

542
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,320
like, no, he's a freshman.

543
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280
I was like, what?

544
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,720
So anyway, that guy is in their band now.

545
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,560
He's their drummer.

546
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:34,400
He was in their music program and he did grease with my kids when he did grease.

547
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:41,800
But anyway, so the mom, the parents of the guy with the hat, the guitarist with the hat

548
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:48,000
who's saying the oasis song, she came, like the parents basically came and then Jacob, the

549
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,640
drummer's dad was there with the brother.

550
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,640
I didn't know that.

551
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,320
So there were like randos, but I asked Patrick, I was like, is it, would it be possible

552
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,120
the parents of some of the band members want to come?

553
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:00,120
Right.

554
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:04,240
And he's like, of course, everybody is welcome, right?

555
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,200
I didn't think they'd come, but they were all like, it was just funny.

556
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,200
Is this funny?

557
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,840
I don't even know that they're parents are there.

558
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,840
That's cute.

559
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,160
And they blended because they're sort of the same age as everybody else.

560
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,200
Yeah, yeah, but it was just cute.

561
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,960
That's so cute.

562
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,680
And then they, like the dad of the drummer was like, thank you for doing this.

563
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,400
Like, like the kids are, like, my son is like, so happy.

564
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,160
He's really been wanting to like be in a band and this, like, is, is so great for him.

565
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,400
And I know it's really nice to see your kids like, do a thing.

566
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,000
I'm sure they have the same way about Sonny's podcast.

567
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Yeah, it is.

568
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
It's cool.

569
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,440
It's cool when, when adults are like appreciative of whatever your kid is doing, whether it's watching

570
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,320
volleyball and they're like, oh, Natalia, a nice one, you know, or whatever.

571
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,240
And like watching your kid play in a band, you know, in the backyard and watching other

572
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,760
parents going, wow, looking at each other and like rocking out going, these guys are good.

573
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,080
It's got, it's a great feeling.

574
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,080
I know.

575
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,080
Good feeling.

576
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaking of good things that are good.

577
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,920
Yeah.

578
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,920
Talk about skylight.

579
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,880
Well, you know, I love skylight.

580
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,120
I got one.

581
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,640
They sent one to us.

582
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,920
And I love it because it was so simple to set up.

583
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,920
There's an app that goes with it.

584
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:28,360
And he just downloaded it and it sinks everything from your calendar onto this beautifully designed,

585
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:30,440
digital display.

586
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:37,360
And it sinks everything from, you know, sporting events to a doctor's appointments, reminders

587
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:39,800
to groceries.

588
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,600
You can put your grocery list up there.

589
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,800
And it makes it all in one spot.

590
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:50,560
And everybody in the family can see the calendar, you know, this nice digital display.

591
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,440
You can manage your events, chores, grocery lists.

592
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,160
You can assign colors for each of your family members.

593
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,920
And yeah, it's this big, beautiful, it makes a great gift too.

594
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,920
Yes, my niece got one.

00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,640
I even felt like just being in the sun.

607
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:50,640
You're so keen, Stephanie, by the way, you were, Stephanie was wearing this elastic flowery

608
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,920
headband because it was like supposed to be like a 60s.

609
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:54,920
Yeah.

610
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,920
You got some shit from party city that was like, yeah, elastic thing.

611
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:58,920
Yes.

612
00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,920
Now, I didn't know that.

613
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,160
I didn't see any of that.

614
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,160
Yeah.

615
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,160
So you were wearing that.

616
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,640
I mean, I saw other people wearing it.

617
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,600
And then you had little crystals on your cheeks, which I forgot about.

618
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,320
And then I was like laying down later that evening.

619
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,560
And there was like, I was like, what is on my face?

620
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,080
Like, I have like a growth on my face.

621
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,080
And then it came off.

622
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,000
And I was like, Oh, I forgot to take the crystals off my face.

623
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Yeah.

624
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,400
They, they, they lasted.

625
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,400
I don't need alcohol.

626
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,880
I'm high on my, right?

627
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:32,880
Yeah.

628
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,880
So I was so tired because it was hot.

629
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,880
Yeah.

630
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,040
And then I was like, how do people like, how did I used to do this?

631
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,040
I know.

632
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:48,360
And I, being outside, you know, all day, the thing is, is that on Saturday, it was so hot

633
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:50,160
leading up to the weekend.

634
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,720
And it actually cooled.

635
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,880
It was cooler than usual.

636
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,120
But it was still flipping hot out there in the backyard.

637
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,120
Yeah.

638
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:02,040
And not a lot of shade at sometimes, you know, not a lot of shade.

639
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:09,440
But yeah, how do we, I mean, you know, I had a couple beers and then that was that, you

640
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,560
know, and the party was from four to seven.

641
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,320
So it was, it was over.

642
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,240
Oh, it was really supposed to be over by seven.

643
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:21,120
Oh, it was over when the bands were, when, when Laxie was done playing, it was, you

644
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,800
know, Pete, like Suzanne is very like hyper.

645
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:29,160
Sensitive, especially of the host of the party and other moms, like she's loves kids.

646
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,320
She loves moms.

647
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,840
You know, she's just one of the, like, she's like, I always wanted to be a stay home mom.

648
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,440
Anyway, so she like saw Sheree and she's like, I think Sheree wants to like wrap it up.

649
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,840
So we should get going.

650
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,360
And yeah, I mean, everybody was done.

651
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:47,560
Yeah, everybody was breaking it down and getting out.

652
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,080
So Suzanne is very normal.

653
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,880
I was so happy to talk to, I was just like, Oh, she is down to earth.

654
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:57,880
She is.

655
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,320
It's so cute that you guys have been literally friends since you were in high school.

656
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,160
Junior high, junior high school.

657
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,160
Mm-hmm.

658
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,920
Well, she was in sixth grade.

659
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,720
I was in eighth grade.

660
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Yeah.

661
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Because our school, right, was kindergarten through 12, right?

662
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,560
And we met because she was wearing a Bruce Springsteed shirt in the lunch line.

663
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:23,640
Well, she never liked me because I was on a bus with one of her best friends.

664
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:29,120
And I would stick up for like whenever there was this one girl name, I don't want to say her

665
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,480
whole, well, Wendy Lodge, I don't know.

666
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,960
Anyway, she was on our bus and she was in Suzanne's grade.

667
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,680
And I was somehow, like, me and my girlfriends were like the protector of the little sixth

668
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,760
grader.

669
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,080
And she would tell me like Suzanne and her friends would like pick on her.

670
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,480
So I would be like, Hey, leave Wendy Lodge alone, you know?

671
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,720
And Suzanne would like just stare at me like fuck that bitch, you know?

672
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:58,200
And then so we were in lunch line one day and just standing there and she's, I'm, she's

673
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:04,200
wearing the river concert shirt Bruce Springsteen because her mom went the night before.

674
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,200
This was in the 80s.

675
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,200
Brought her some merch.

676
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,600
And brought her some merch.

677
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,240
And I'm standing in the lunch line and I'm giving her a dirty look and then I look down

678
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,760
and I see she's wearing Bruce Springsteen and I was like, wait, what?

679
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,840
And because my brother loved Bruce and at our school, nobody fucking talked about Bruce

680
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,840
Springsteen.

681
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,280
Everybody talked about the Randoran and, you know, Van Halen and it was all that.

682
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,040
No Bruce Springsteen.

683
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,400
So I was like, wait, what?

684
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,800
You like Bruce Springsteen?

685
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,680
Because I at that point never met anybody outside of my household that liked Bruce Springsteen

686
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,480
because of her my brother because I, and then me, I like loved his albums.

687
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,440
So I'm like, you like Bruce Springsteen and she's like, yeah, you like Bruce Springsteen?

688
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,800
And I was like, yeah.

689
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,240
And that was it.

690
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,240
Like best friends for the rest of the time.

691
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,680
About that Wendy Lodge, bitch.

692
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,680
She likes the Randoran.

693
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,520
She doesn't even know Bruce Springsteen is.

694
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,040
Yeah, that's how he became best friends.

695
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,800
And we told Bruce that story when we met him.

696
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:07,800
Oh, really?

697
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,040
Yes, we did.

698
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,400
At the sagebrush canteen, we told him she's like, you gotta tell him.

699
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,080
We gotta go and say hi and you gotta tell him how he met how he became friends.

700
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,720
I didn't know you met him at the sagebrush canteen, huh?

701
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,600
Yeah, met him at the sagebrush.

702
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:28,000
I met him a couple times, but the very first time I know about the one that wounded at the

703
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
beacon theater.

704
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Yeah, yeah.

705
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,320
We were in the green room with him for a while, like 45 minutes, right?

706
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Yes.

707
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,960
I know about that time, but yeah, the sagebrush.

708
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,800
So we were wet, we went and watched football Sunday at the sagebrush.

709
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,080
Like how long ago is this?

710
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,280
This was like in the 90s, like 94 or something.

711
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,600
So he was huge.

712
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,600
He was huge.

713
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,600
Yes, yes, yes.

714
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,400
And it was, oh, it was 95.

715
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,340
It was a year after the earth, 94 earthquake because, and I'll tell you, so we get to the

716
00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:06,000
sagebrush and Suzanne, I tell Suzanne and her pre, her boyfriend, but then became husband

717
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
at the time.

718
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Okay.

719
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,720
Like you guys go get tables, I'll go to the bar, I'll get in line at the bar and then

720
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,240
come meet me at the bar.

721
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,920
So I get in line and then I look over and I see Bruce sitting at the bar, sitting at the

722
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,920
bar, like everybody else just having a beer with a baseball hat on, talking to the guys

723
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,680
next to him.

724
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,760
And it was a packed place and nobody was bothering him.

725
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,600
He was just hanging out and I had to do a double take.

726
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,360
I was like, we, what, what?

727
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,880
I cannot believe what I'm seeing.

728
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:42,680
And I, I, I left and I went and found Suzanne and I don't, I remember this.

729
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,600
And I don't know why I was laughing uncontrollably.

730
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,920
I go, Suzanne, Suzanne, Suzanne, Bruce, for Hancy, is that the bar, Bruce, Bruce?

731
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,240
And she's like, no, he's not, no, he's not.

732
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,240
No, he's not.

733
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,240
Somebody looks like Bruce.

734
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,120
I go, no, no, come, come with me, come with me.

735
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,320
We go to the bar and I go and she like looks like she saw ghost and she goes, oh,

736
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,320
shit.

737
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,320
Oh my God.

738
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,320
And then she started crying.

739
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Oh my God.

740
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,320
She started tearing up.

741
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,320
Okay.

742
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,800
She goes like, let me have, we have to talk to him.

743
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,480
She's like, I don't, I can't, she goes, I can't, I can't talk to him.

744
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,480
I go, I'll talk to him.

745
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,080
I'll talk to him and she goes, wait, wait, what are you going to say?

746
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,040
And I go, I don't know we're going to say hi.

747
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,560
She goes, tell him how we met.

748
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,120
And I was like, okay.

749
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,200
Like, you know, I was like, all right, I got it, you know?

750
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,920
So we walk over and we're like, hi, Bruce.

751
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,960
We just really had to say hi.

752
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,520
We're the biggest Bruce Springsteafans.

753
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:45,880
Like we grew up listening to you and we just, we were at all your concerts and then he was

754
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,200
like, oh, that's, that's really nice.

755
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,280
And he smiles, turns around in his seat to talk to us and he's smiling.

756
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,680
And I was, he's like, that's really, that's really nice.

757
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,280
You guys grow up out here.

758
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,960
And I was like, actually, we were became best friends because of you because that's the only

759
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:01,960
thing I could think of.

760
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,880
So I tell that story.

761
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,320
And after I tell him the story, he goes, well, I take my hat off to you girls.

762
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:20,120
And then he says, then he says, did you grow up out here and he said, we had to leave California

763
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,160
because of the 94 earthquake.

764
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,440
Like after the earthquake, we couldn't take it.

765
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,560
And that's when we were like, I live in chats or then I was right near the epicenter of

766
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,240
the earthquake and blah, blah, blah.

767
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,720
And we talked to him for a few minutes and that was it.

768
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,400
And there was no cell phones to take pictures or anything back then.

769
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,840
But then we like, oh my God, we could die happy.

770
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,880
We got on the, the pay phone at the sagebrush to call Suzanne sister, Danny, who is a huge

771
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,880
spring season.

772
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,480
And we just met Bruce Springsteen at the sagebrush.

773
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,320
And it was just a glorious day.

774
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,160
We came home, we blasted born to run.

775
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,880
It was a Sunday night.

776
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,440
We had to get to work in the next morning.

777
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,960
We were like, up late, like doing shots, listening to Bruce like, oh my God, with the

778
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,240
best day of our life.

779
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,240
Yeah.

780
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,240
Yeah.

781
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,240
That is so funny.

782
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,440
So when you met him years later, did you remind, did you remind him or were you just like,

783
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,440
is it never going to remember?

784
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,160
No, because then it was now, like fast forward, 2011.

785
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,040
And I'm like at the beacon theater with John Stewart, right?

786
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,240
Who takes me to introduce me to him.

787
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,840
And they're doing like a, they're doing stand up for heroes, a charity event.

788
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,880
And John comes, he's like, Lynette, you gonna come with me?

789
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,880
They go meet Bruce.

790
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:35,880
Let's go say hi.

791
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:36,880
And I was like, oh my God.

792
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:42,880
And we sit down in his dressing room and then they knocked and said, John, you're up.

793
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,800
And Bruce was in the middle of a story.

794
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,280
And John left the dressing room and the door is slowly closed.

795
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,920
And Bruce was still talking.

796
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,840
And now I'm just sitting in the dressing room, just me and Bruce.

797
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,080
And we talked for like 45 minutes.

798
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,280
We talked about kids.

799
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,880
I wanted him to know that I was a real fan.

800
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,160
So I asked him like technical, like song questions about when you're singing this song, why do

801
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,400
you guys do an extra, you do an extra opening and he told me what it was called in musical

802
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,400
terms.

803
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,640
And he's like, well, you're pretty, you pray, pray a lot of attention.

804
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,920
I was like, yeah, I am telling him a huge fan.

805
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:24,280
And we just talked and talked for, yeah, for 45 minutes in the dressing room.

806
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Wow.

807
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,280
In 2011.

808
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,280
Yeah.

809
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,280
I know.

810
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,280
That's so cool.

811
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Yeah.

812
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,280
Yeah.

813
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:39,680
Bruce is brought me and my sister and I windy together because she loves Bruce and Suzanne,

814
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,680
the three of us.

815
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,960
We would go when we were traveling and going to see Bruce, we would go to the three of us

816
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:45,960
together.

817
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Yeah.

818
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:53,400
Did you bond with any of your friends at school over any musicians like bands?

819
00:33:53,400 --> 00:34:00,320
I don't remember, but I will tell you that Zander bonded with Lyle, Lyle crocodile, who

820
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,640
by the way, you met, you saw because it's in Zander's band.

821
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,640
Yes.

822
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,640
He was so sweet.

823
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,640
He was so cute.

824
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,640
He was so cute.

825
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,400
I know.

826
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:17,040
Everybody who listens to us, who's helped, who chipped in, I mean, that kid has changed.

827
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:23,280
He's, and you could tell both you, I mean, all of the kids in the band, but especially him,

828
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,320
you could tell that he's like into music, very into music, in the music.

829
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:35,640
So remember, I told you this, his mom sent him to a different, to like the main sort of

830
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:42,800
neighborhood high school because his older brother had gone there, but he didn't like it.

831
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,480
And then Zander didn't want to go to that school, but he really, really wanted to be at school

832
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:47,480
with Lyle.

833
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,480
Yeah.

834
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,640
And then he was always telling Lyle, like, listen, this high school that I'm going to

835
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,840
do, has this really cool music department, right?

836
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,480
And then Lyle was playing guitar.

837
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:06,920
I mean, he's very into music and they had a guitar class at his school, but when we'd get

838
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,360
together with him, he'd be like, yeah, it sucks.

839
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,760
Like it's just, yeah, you don't really get to do it.

840
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,760
Right.

841
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:13,760
You don't really get to play songs.

842
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,040
You're just playing scales all the time.

843
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,760
And I would talk to Lyle's mom, right?

844
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,840
I'm a crocodile and I'd be like, you really got to think about moving schools.

845
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,680
And she'd be like, no, everything's fine.

846
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:28,680
We're fine.

847
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,680
And then eventually I was like, you, you come on.

848
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:33,680
Yeah.

849
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:34,680
No, we're fine.

850
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:40,520
And then at the end of his freshman year, beginning, like, end of the summer, she was like,

851
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,320
okay, he wants to go to your kid's school.

852
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,040
And he got in, but it was a little bit late to sign up for the music department.

853
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,320
And you have to audition into it and he had an audition.

854
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,000
And then I, I hold the teacher aside.

855
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,880
I wrote him an email, then I pulled him aside and I was like, listen, listen, you gotta,

856
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,280
you gotta let this kid in, right?

857
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,280
You have to.

858
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,280
You'll change his life.

859
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,280
Yeah.

860
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,080
And so he had him come play for him.

861
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,080
Really?

862
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,280
He's like, I'm gonna let him, I'm gonna let him play.

863
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:14,680
And so he came and he played and he was like impressed and he found a place for him.

864
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:15,680
It was full.

865
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:20,360
He swed, juggle things around and he got him in there and he's just like blossomed.

866
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:27,480
Like he loved it from day one, is in a band and, you know, to see his mom coming to like

867
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,480
the music show, she sits in the, she's just little.

868
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,480
Uh-huh.

869
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,640
And she sits in the front row with his little sister who's starting the school to and she

870
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,760
just like, she's like the best mom.

871
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,440
Yeah.

872
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,320
And to think that like she lost like that her kids had to be in foster care for, I mean,

873
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,320
over a year.

874
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,880
That's I know she didn't have her kids, you know, I forgot about that because I was telling

875
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:58,040
Susan Howles about what, you know, what you did for, for the family and that we are all

876
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:04,280
the audience literally bought her a car and got her out of a shelter and into an apartment.

877
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,280
Right.

878
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:10,520
And I forgot that her kids were in foster care because her heart, she had a heart thing

879
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,400
and she had no family and like nobody to help her.

880
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,040
So they, she couldn't take care of the kids.

881
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,200
She was like in the hospital and they just put her kids in foster care and then she couldn't

882
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,560
get them back because she had to prove because she lost her job, then she lost her place.

883
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,200
So then she had to prove that she could take care of them.

884
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:35,600
Eventually she got them back, but she was in a housing play like an ice shelter basically.

885
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Yeah.

886
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:45,120
So such a mess and now and the kids were traumatized and we all came in and fixed some stuff for

887
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,120
that.

888
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:47,120
Yeah.

889
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,120
And like now you just see him and he's just so blossomed.

890
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,120
Yeah.

891
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,120
He's like a happy kid.

892
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,360
I know I love it really talented.

893
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,360
Very talented.

894
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:55,360
Very talented.

895
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,360
Yeah.

896
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,360
And they were having, oh my God.

897
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,600
So we were driving with him the other day and we were having the cutest conversation because

898
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:07,440
he was talking about how he would love to like play music, do something with music for

899
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,120
a living, but he was like, I know that's really hard.

900
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:15,720
Like I know this is a really hard business, but you know, I'd also, I'd love to like teach

901
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:22,280
guitar to kids and he said that some some families in his apartment building want to hire him

902
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,200
to teach their kids to play guitar.

903
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,880
And I was like, oh my God.

904
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,880
I love that.

905
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:28,880
I know.

906
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:29,880
That's amazing.

907
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,880
I know.

908
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:31,880
Oh, that's so.

909
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:32,880
It's very hard warming.

910
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,880
It's so hard warming.

911
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:34,880
It is.

912
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,440
I mean, is in the mom's doing good?

913
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,760
And mama, mama.

914
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,760
Yeah.

915
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,760
Yeah.

916
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:46,000
I'll raise money for her again for the holiday for Christmas, but you know, she's not, I

917
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,920
mean, she's still, you know, she works on minimum wage job.

918
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:49,920
Right.

919
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:55,680
She's like, but she did that like we got her, we paid for her little, it's not really a nursing

920
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,680
program.

921
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,120
It's a, it's a, a nurse is assistant basically.

922
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,920
And then she works at like a nursing home and she works with, but she's the old people

923
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,920
love her.

924
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:07,920
Yeah.

925
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:08,920
She's just the sweetest.

926
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,120
She's really a little sister.

927
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,840
The little sister is doing great and she's starting at the school and she kind of can't

928
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,840
wait.

929
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,640
Does she have like a, she just auditioned for the music program and she got in.

930
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:21,640
Wow.

931
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,640
She'll be doing that too.

932
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:23,640
I know.

933
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:31,080
I just remember like driving, you know, well, oh, the reason I brought that up is because

934
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:36,640
the way that Zander met Lyle was, they were, it was COVID.

935
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,920
So they were all online.

936
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,080
So he didn't really know anything about him.

937
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,720
And he would just see him on the online, but he had written something in the chat about

938
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:47,560
Elton John and like classic rock.

939
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,400
He mentioned and Zander was like, wrote back, oh, you like Elton John or Zander had said

940
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:59,480
something about liking Elton John and maybe Lyle wrote, wait, you like Elton John and then

941
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,600
they were started talking music and they, neither one of them had met other kids that like,

942
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,720
like classic rock kind of sounds like me and Suzanne.

943
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:08,720
Yeah.

944
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:09,720
Yeah.

945
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:10,720
So then they started then Zander.

946
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,920
I remember Zander being like, oh, my God, I met this kid.

947
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,920
He has my taste in music, but he's like really cool.

948
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,120
Like, I don't know if he's going to want to hang out with me because keep in mind this

949
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,120
was seventh grade.

950
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,120
Yeah.

951
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,360
So that's when I asked the school, could I have the mom's info and they were weird about

952
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:29,360
it.

953
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,240
Because I didn't know there are circumstances at the time at all.

954
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:37,240
So they're like, we're not sure if we can give you her info because it was like she was

955
00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:38,240
at a shelter.

956
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:41,440
So they were like, they keep everything private.

957
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,360
So they reached out to her and asked if I could contact her.

958
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,040
I still didn't have any idea what the deal was.

959
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:56,200
And then I basically called her or texted her and I was like, hey, our kids met on Zoom.

960
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,040
Like they want to hang out.

961
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,320
Is there any way you'd be open to like, could we have your kid over or whatever?

962
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,040
And she was like, yeah, but I don't have a car.

963
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,040
So like I can't.

964
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,560
And I was like, oh, that's okay.

965
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,800
And in my mind, I was like, that's probably in the shop.

966
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,040
Maybe she means it's in the shop or like, you know, right?

967
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,480
And then, and then I started figuring it out slowly.

968
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,920
And then the aisle was just like, yeah, I've just.

969
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,280
I was in foster care.

970
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,680
Well, you sort of started leaking out and I was like, wait, what?

971
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,760
Like I had no idea.

972
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,000
And then we started getting all the details and then I talked to her and that's when she

973
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,120
was like, yeah, I'm just like, I don't have a car right now.

974
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:46,120
So I want to go to this like nursing thing, but like she wasn't asking for anything.

975
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Yeah, yeah.

976
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,120
She was just like, yeah, I'm just right now.

977
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,200
I'm trying to save up like $1,500 for a car and I was like, girl.

978
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,240
There's no cars for $1,500, you know?

979
00:41:57,240 --> 00:41:59,800
And then I came to everybody who's listening.

980
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,800
Yes.

981
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,960
And everybody was like, yes, hell yes, let's get our car.

982
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:03,960
Everybody.

983
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:04,960
Yes.

984
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,960
We have the best community.

985
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,240
That was one of my favorite things.

986
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:10,240
Yeah.

987
00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:15,840
All time of doing this podcast is how people come together and look out for each other and

988
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,840
support each other.

989
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:22,880
And if they could just see like somebody going from literal in a shelter, having lost

990
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:30,960
her kids to like kids being happy, going to a normal school, having, you know, hope for

991
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,960
their futures.

992
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,160
Yeah, that's, it's so nice.

993
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,160
Yeah.

994
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,160
Everybody really came together during that time.

995
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,160
Yeah.

996
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,520
I mean, you pulled it off.

997
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,600
Did Adam Lerner get her the car?

998
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:43,600
Oh my God.

999
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,440
Okay.

1000
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,440
Yes.

1001
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,440
No.

1002
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,440
Yes and no.

1003
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,440
I started looking.

1004
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,560
He was basically like, I don't know about a used car for that price.

1005
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,400
It's like pretty low because I was like, I wanted to, at first I wanted to get her one for

1006
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,040
like $8,000, I think, but then we ended up making more than that.

1007
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,280
So I was like, okay, we could do like $10,000.

1008
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,800
I think the car ended up being like $11,000.

1009
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:17,880
But basically I found cars and then he checked them out and ran the VIN numbers for me.

1010
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,040
And then he called the dealership and made like a cash deal.

1011
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,040
I see.

1012
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:23,040
Okay.

1013
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:28,160
Because apparently a lot of these dealerships, they do not actually, you would think like,

1014
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,160
I'm going to offer cash.

1015
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:30,720
So I'm going to like low-bomb, right?

1016
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:34,840
And Adam's like, this is just not how it works because that's not how they make their

1017
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:35,840
money.

1018
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,440
They make their money on giving you this crazy financing.

1019
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,440
Right.

1020
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:44,080
They make their money on people that don't have money and have shitty credit, right?

1021
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,920
Getting like a loan for 20%.

1022
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:46,920
Yeah.

1023
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,280
So they're not going to give it to you.

1024
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,680
That, they're not making a big profit margin off the car.

1025
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,640
So unless they just want to get it off the lot.

1026
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,960
So he did like dealership talk with them and they agreed.

1027
00:43:58,960 --> 00:43:59,960
Right.

1028
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:04,120
I think he literally like told them the situation and was like, come on.

1029
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,120
What can you do?

1030
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,120
Wow.

1031
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,120
Wow.

1032
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,960
But then remember this, remember when we went and got the car, she was kind of a ballbuster

1033
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,400
because there was, I wasn't expecting it.

1034
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,200
She is like, she's like four, 10, maybe four, nine.

1035
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,200
Yeah.

1036
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,880
She's a little, little lady.

1037
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,720
And she, we took her down there.

1038
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:27,560
John and I took her down there to the thing and she test, she drove the car and then she

1039
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:34,000
was like, yeah, I don't like, there was like the arm rest was like needed to be glued

1040
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,000
down or whatever.

1041
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,380
There was something else a little bit funky and she was like, yeah, so this arm rest,

1042
00:44:41,380 --> 00:44:43,720
just like no go, like her whatever.

1043
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,640
And they were like, okay, we'll fix that.

1044
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,640
And she was like, yeah.

1045
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,120
And there's something a little with the steering or the whatever.

1046
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,360
And they're like, okay, no problem.

1047
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,440
And then I mean, it came the car had a warranty too.

1048
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,280
But she was just like, I fixed it.

1049
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,280
Yeah.

1050
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,280
I know.

1051
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,920
She should turn on the air.

1052
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,920
Yes.

1053
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:05,920
I know.

1054
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:13,840
Oh, so the other thing I just wanted to bond with you on is that when I was in junior, when

1055
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:19,720
I was in junior high, I had just moved to Spokane, Washington when I was 12.

1056
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:22,560
So going, I was going into seventh grade.

1057
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:30,200
And there was a girl who lived across the street from me named Jamie and who became my best

1058
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,640
friend like like your Suzanne.

1059
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:33,640
Yeah.

1060
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:42,520
But somehow we made friends like she lived like across the street in a few houses down.

1061
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,520
Right.

1062
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,400
So when we had just moved into the house and she was like outside shoveling snow or something.

1063
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:53,440
And so we met and then we started school at the local junior high school.

1064
00:45:53,440 --> 00:46:01,400
And I sort of made friends with a girl and she and Jamie had a friend and I made a friend.

1065
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,280
And then both of us got in a big fight with the other two.

1066
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:12,360
So Jamie and I had to hate each other because the two needed a town.

1067
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,000
So I was like, my name is Paul.

1068
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,000
That's between you.

1069
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Right.

1070
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Right.

1071
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,040
But I got dragged in because you know, I'm saying like, yeah, her best friend and my best friend

1072
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,040
were at our new best.

1073
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,040
I say best friend, but I just probably met them a few weeks ago.

1074
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,040
Right.

1075
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,040
But they got into a thing.

1076
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,040
Uh-huh.

1077
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,560
Like me and my friend had to hate her and her friend, which was inconvenient because she

1078
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,320
lived across the street for me.

1079
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:35,320
Yes.

1080
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,800
And then so that one on for like, I want to say like six months maybe.

1081
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:40,800
Wow.

1082
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,400
I would see her outside and like, what about like walk into school and stuff?

1083
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,400
Did you guys think like that?

1084
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,520
Well, we just didn't, I guess we just, we, I don't remember.

1085
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,720
We must have ignored each other.

1086
00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:55,880
And then one day we were both outside and somehow we started talking and we were like,

1087
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,320
this is really stupid.

1088
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,000
Yes.

1089
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,880
And we should probably be friends because like, we like, like, you're nice.

1090
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,880
Yeah.

1091
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:08,480
And then we both like broke up with our other friends.

1092
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,480
Yeah.

1093
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:13,840
And then, and then Jamie and I hated the other two.

1094
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,840
My God.

1095
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,240
Their names were like Karen and Michelle.

1096
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:18,040
I still kind of remember.

1097
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,040
Uh-huh.

1098
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,040
Vagely.

1099
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,920
And then, and then Jamie and I were mean like we would write, we would make up song lyrics.

1100
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,720
We would change song lyrics.

1101
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:27,720
Yeah.

1102
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:30,360
We would change, you're a rich girl.

1103
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,840
And we changed that all to be your a bitch girl.

1104
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,760
And then we added, we'd made different lyrics for like making fun of them.

1105
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:37,760
Right.

1106
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:38,760
And did you sing it to them?

1107
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:39,760
We were?

1108
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,120
No, we were completely into their face, but we, it was mean.

1109
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,120
Yeah.

1110
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,880
We got a lot, a big kick out of like, yeah.

1111
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,000
Creatively finding ways to really hate on them.

1112
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Interesting.

1113
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Yeah.

1114
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,800
That's like what teenage girls would do back then.

1115
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:59,280
I remember making songs up in my house or in my friend's house.

1116
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,360
I had a friend that lived across the street and a couple houses down Wendy Thompson was her

1117
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:10,880
name, but she, her mom was a single mom and they had a Dobermen Shepherd.

1118
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,240
My dad, and my dad would not let me go over there.

1119
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:16,240
Right.

1120
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:17,240
Oh hell no.

1121
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:18,240
I have a my dead body.

1122
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:21,720
Are you going to go when the mom's at work and nobody's around the dog's going to attack

1123
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:22,720
you?

1124
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:24,720
Okay, dad.

1125
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:27,160
Why did everyone have Dobermens though by the way?

1126
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,160
I know, right?

1127
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,040
And now where are the Dobermens?

1128
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,040
I don't know.

1129
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,040
Nobody have a Dobermen anymore?

1130
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,280
Guarding like car lots or something.

1131
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,280
Yeah.

1132
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:36,280
Yeah.

1133
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,800
So, but yeah, I had a friend that lived across the street and we would make up songs.

1134
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,080
I remember we did this thing called hot stuff incorporated.

1135
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,160
That was our thing.

1136
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:53,000
And we would just write because we loved Laverne and Shirley and they do that, that,

1137
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,560
and then it didn't happen except incorporated whatever in the mean.

1138
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,720
So we were like, didn't know what they were saying.

1139
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:04,440
So we made it up as hot stuff incorporated and that we were Laverne and Shirley.

1140
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,640
And of course, I was Laverne because I had the L.

1141
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,720
Oh my gosh, that's so funny.

1142
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:14,360
But that's what like, this is the girls teenage girls did back then.

1143
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,800
Yeah, our generation.

1144
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,400
I think that and go to the wall.

1145
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:19,720
I was really mean though.

1146
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:25,040
And the reason why I was mean is because I was teased a lot.

1147
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:30,200
Like I was teased a lot in elementary school and then I was just kind of bullied.

1148
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:35,480
So I became like, if there was somebody that was sort of like, I thought of as below me,

1149
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,320
that I was like, me?

1150
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,320
I was mean.

1151
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:39,320
Yeah.

1152
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,480
But I don't, I wasn't like a bully to anybody's face.

1153
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,000
I was too curious for that.

1154
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Right, right.

1155
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,200
So they might have like beat me up.

1156
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,200
Yeah.

1157
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:52,520
Because, oh, we would just mercilessly like, yeah, make up the songs.

1158
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:53,520
Yeah.

1159
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,520
You know, bad mouth them have like all sorts of inside jokes.

1160
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,480
Give a crank column.

1161
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:03,880
I mean, I did so much crank calling in my day in my time.

1162
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:07,520
I remember Wendy Thompson and I were crank calling people.

1163
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,040
I don't know how it happened because her mom was like a legal assistant.

1164
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,360
She was at work.

1165
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:17,040
And that was the days where we could just got the click over like, oh, somebody's

1166
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,040
on the line.

1167
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,800
Yeah, call waiting.

1168
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,000
And it was like, oh, somebody's on the other line.

1169
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:28,640
So she clicked over and went and Wendy was like, go on.

1170
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,640
You know, like is your mom home?

1171
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,960
Like, is your is your is your refrigerator running?

1172
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:34,960
You better go get it.

1173
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,640
Like that kind of said, and then we're laughing and giggling.

1174
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,000
And then, and then when he goes, like, hello, hello.

1175
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,680
And then her mom goes, are we having fun?

1176
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:49,440
And I looked at way, I was like, and her mom could be me.

1177
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,680
And we're like, oh, shit.

1178
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:52,880
She was okay.

1179
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:57,840
But she called to tell us that there was stakeups in the refrigerator.

1180
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:58,840
Remember stakeups?

1181
00:50:58,840 --> 00:50:59,840
Oh, of course.

1182
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,560
I'll never forget that because I love stakeum and my mom wouldn't buy it.

1183
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,200
I don't know why too rich for her blood or something.

1184
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,200
I don't know.

1185
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,640
I always wanted them because Wendy always had them.

1186
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,400
I love those things.

1187
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:12,400
Stakeups.

1188
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,920
I remember this thing called space sticks.

1189
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:20,640
And they were like, they came in like chocolate and like peanut butter flavor and they were

1190
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,640
sort of healthy.

1191
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,680
But they were like these, like almost like the look of a beef jerky.

1192
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:31,240
Stake, but they were like, sweet, sweet.

1193
00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:32,240
And like kind of healthy.

1194
00:51:32,240 --> 00:51:33,240
I remember the name.

1195
00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:37,280
I heard you were soft granola bar and then you would just, yeah, I remember people's

1196
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,680
houses that had those was like, oh, yeah, yeah.

1197
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:41,680
Space sticks.

1198
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:42,680
Yeah.

1199
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,560
Oh, how did I die and went to heaven?

1200
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,560
Right.

1201
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,960
You know, I do remember stakeum, though.

1202
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,640
That would have been like, he comes early high school for me.

1203
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:52,640
Yeah.

1204
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:53,640
Yes.

1205
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:54,640
Yeah.

1206
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,440
Because my dad would come home and eat sardines, you know?

1207
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,240
He would like have a glass of beer and sardines for dinner.

1208
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:05,680
And once in a while, like if my mom made a mistake or he would, he would cook a steak.

1209
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:10,400
But yeah, he would have sardines and then he also had this like meat and a can thing and

1210
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,840
it was like devil's, devil's ham.

1211
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:13,840
Yeah, devil's ham.

1212
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,840
Yeah, devil's ham.

1213
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:21,840
But it, but it had the devil aren't in a white can, can and it tastes sort of like a hash

1214
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,320
browns or not.

1215
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:24,320
Corn, bam.

1216
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,320
Corn, yeah.

1217
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,320
Corn beef hash.

1218
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:27,320
Corn beef hash.

1219
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:28,320
Corn beef hash.

1220
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:29,320
Yeah.

1221
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:30,320
Corn beef hash.

1222
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:31,320
Yeah.

1223
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,720
It tasted something like, but that's, you know, so then I went over to her house and I was

1224
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:37,840
like, whoo, stakeums, yeah.

1225
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,760
And then I remember seeing a bong in her, her mom's bedroom and I was like, oh, your mom

1226
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,560
smokes pot.

1227
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:45,560
What?

1228
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,400
I was like, what?

1229
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:49,400
Wow.

1230
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:54,440
I didn't know that because we were like, like smoking pot, but like, you know, out of like

1231
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,200
a toilet paper roll thing, right?

1232
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:57,920
Right, right, right.

1233
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:03,880
But I never knew a parent smoked pot because my parents didn't do shit.

1234
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,560
My parents smoked pot, especially my stepfather.

1235
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:13,600
And I know I've told you this, but he would grow pot in our house and it was so embarrassing.

1236
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:19,400
It was like cringe, you know, because, yeah, because I would have friends over and he just,

1237
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,440
he was very, he never had a job.

1238
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,520
He was just like considered himself a hippie and his establishment.

1239
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:32,320
So he had pot growing like in our, basically in our kitchen slash breakfast room where you

1240
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,560
would go down the stairs to go to my bedroom.

1241
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,360
There was a line of pot plants.

1242
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,360
Oh, yeah.

1243
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:38,800
And it was not cool.

1244
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:39,800
It wasn't cool.

1245
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,800
No, it wasn't cool.

1246
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:41,800
Yeah.

1247
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:42,800
Yeah.

1248
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:43,800
It was embarrassing.

1249
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:44,800
Yeah.

1250
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,840
Not that I was like totally straight edge or anything, but you know, it's just weird.

1251
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:49,840
It was weird though.

1252
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,360
It was not like people didn't go cool.

1253
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,120
Your parents like grow weed.

1254
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:55,120
Yeah.

1255
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,120
They were like, what the fuck?

1256
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:57,120
Yeah.

1257
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,120
What is that?

1258
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:05,560
And parents are total hippies and her stepdad Stan always had like a pipe, a pot pipe.

1259
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,040
And I knew and Suzanne knew where he hid it.

1260
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:13,000
So whenever they go out of the town, I'd go and like scrape resin out of his pipe.

1261
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,400
Now to this day when I see him, you know, he's like, still scraping resin out of a stepdad

1262
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,520
so his pipe's lately.

1263
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:22,800
But I always thought it was cool.

1264
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,800
And Suzanne never, ever, ever smoke pot, never, never smoke pot.

1265
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,840
Still to this day doesn't like the smoke pot.

1266
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,480
Doesn't only think she does his drink.

1267
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:33,480
That's it.

1268
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,160
Like she was very like.

1269
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,640
And then when we were growing up, you guys got to go get stoned.

1270
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:43,520
And I'm in and then we would all laugh and laugh and laugh and she go, God, sitting in the

1271
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,720
bunch of stoners.

1272
00:54:45,720 --> 00:54:46,720
That's so funny.

1273
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:47,720
Yeah.

1274
00:54:47,720 --> 00:54:48,720
Yeah.

1275
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:51,720
Yes, Suzanne said to me, I don't know where you were, but she was like, we've got to get

1276
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:53,480
Lynette took what smoking.

1277
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:54,480
I know.

1278
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,480
I know.

1279
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:56,480
I know.

1280
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:57,800
I was like, you know what?

1281
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,040
She's got a little bit of an addictive personality.

1282
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,360
She's got, she's like, I know, you know, when she was going through her divorce, it's

1283
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:04,960
one thing, but like it's time to stop.

1284
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:05,960
Yeah.

1285
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,280
It sounds she was saying that.

1286
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:08,280
Yes.

1287
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,280
I know.

1288
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,280
That's so funny.

1289
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:11,280
Yeah.

1290
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:15,080
I think it's so cute that after all this time, you guys are still like, oh, yeah.

1291
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:21,200
And I think what's really nice about some adult friendships when is like, you had a period

1292
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,120
where you weren't like super close.

1293
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,120
Right.

1294
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,120
Well, like then you come, you know what I mean?

1295
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:29,920
Like you have some like differences and maybe parenting opinions and like, you know,

1296
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:30,920
whatever.

1297
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:31,920
Everybody goes the different ways.

1298
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,920
And then, but then you like come back together because you have that foundation.

1299
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:35,920
Yes.

1300
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:36,920
Exactly.

1301
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:37,920
Which is nice.

1302
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:38,920
Yeah.

1303
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:39,920
Thank you.

1304
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:40,920
Yeah.

1305
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:41,920
I love it.

1306
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:42,920
I love Susanne and the death.

1307
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:49,400
What I love about having raised my kids in the same house and say, and you know, they're having

1308
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:54,200
valley kids is that these kids that they like, you know, Elbe's friend that she met when she

1309
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,200
was six months old, you know, is still her friend.

1310
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,200
Right.

1311
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,040
It's not going to be 21 and like they have so much.

1312
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,360
She has so much history with her friends.

1313
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,160
That's the thing when you have history with somebody, there's a comfort level there, you

1314
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:11,560
know, you know, and yeah, you can go your separate ways for a while.

1315
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:17,360
People, life sets in, but yeah, just to have that foundation to come back to, it's really

1316
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,360
nice.

1317
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:19,360
Yeah.

1318
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,960
Well, I got no, let's say hi to speak of our foundation.

1319
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:31,200
No, we didn't like a Dick Frolaker and Kelly, Gladida and Nikki, all your girls.

1320
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:38,200
Elizabeth Williamson's got a ton of kids Rita, rocking that bass and that.

00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:44,440
Holly, we love your pancakes and the Cesare and Mallory, Bubba, Fenwick and Katarina still

00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,640
I got to get it.

1324
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,240
I got to make a dentist appointment for myself.

1325
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:50,560
I shouldn't be coming.

1326
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,440
I shouldn't be judging Katarina.

1327
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,240
Yeah.

1328
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:58,760
And Missy and Gabby, they were at Patrick's, but they were like walking or they were

1329

controlling the block.

1330
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:07,360
Yeah, they, yeah, they were like trying to valley cars, even though there was no valley.

1331
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:12,560
And then Rebecca, no one is so cute and you shot it so hot and Kelly, Brant.

1332
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,400
Yeah, she'll take you to play in the parent.
