- Yeah.

It's not gonna hurt you.
- Right.
It's not gonna hurt you.
- Is what I'm trying to say.
- Okay, we got some stuff.
I mean, okay, this morning, I wanted to talk
about it on our Tuesday show, but we got caught up.
But I'm probably it's already gonna be talked about by now.
So it's gonna be probably old news by Friday, but who cares?
Who cares?
I just want to just explain to you
what I witnessed this morning.
So I turn on the Karen Reed trial.
I love it because there are three hours ahead.
So I tune in and it's like, they're at lunch break.
So I have like a whole bunch of material to watch.
So anyway, they brought up this,
witness on the stand.
Her name was Karen Dc.
- Reed?
- No, not Karen Reed.
I don't even know if her name was Karen.
But she was a cop, a Boston cop.
And the defense, Alan Jackson kept getting her name wrong.
And okay, so anyway, okay, but before I get there,
she gets on the stand.
I don't know who she is.
She gets sworn in.
And as soon as she sits down, the judge goes,
good morning Mrs. Cece, whatever her name is.
And she goes, she doesn't answer her.
She does, and I thought, oh, looks weird.
Maybe she didn't hear her.
And the judge goes, good morning, Mrs. Cece.
And she turns, she was morning, like kind of like a fuck off.
So it's the defense calling her.
So I'm thinking she's going to be friendly with the defense.
I don't know, I know.
- No, not a Boston cop.
- Not a Boston cop, but I didn't know she was about,
at that point, I didn't know she was Boston cop.
But then-- - So she's just being a cunt to everyone.
- She's just being, I've never seen somebody on the stand like this.
Like she just was like, so he starts asking her questions
and her answers are like, no, no, no, no.
And then she starts rolling her eyes and she's like,
well, okay, so now I'm trying to remember what they asked her.
Basically, they were asking her, did you work at the station
at the Canton police department, the Sally Port where the car was?
I guess she testified in some other, before the other trials,
that she saw Brian Higgins and the other investigator,
not trooper proctor, somebody else, in the Sally Port
with Karen Reed's car and made a comment,
why are they in there?
That's odd or whatever.
Okay, so they're trying to get her to say that.
And she's like, I don't even, she goes,
she's asking her those questions.
So were you, did you see?
And she's already answering the question,
as if everybody in the courtroom knows what she's talking about.
So he asked her, were you there that day, blah, blah, blah.
And she's like, she goes, she goes,
I already testified that I accidentally said,
that I made that comment, but then reflecting on it,
that was a lot, I shouldn't have said that.
And it wasn't a lie.
And everybody's like, what is she talking about?
And he's like, slow down, slow down.
And she was just a con, like she was,
so the judge would be like telling her,
like, wait one minute, let him answer the question,
don't step over her and she goes,
she literally rolled her eyes.
Like, you guys have to see this.
This is like, I'm sure, again, it's Friday,
everybody's probably going nuts over this check,
but I was watching it almost in real time.
And I just, I could not believe what a fucking con she was.
She just was not in, and then she kept going to Peter,
so Alan Jackson kept saying, you know,
like saying her name is Sissy,
and she kind of corrected him once and she goes,
it's C-Sar or whatever.
And then he said it again and then she goes,
she goes, like, like I, she goes, I don't recall,
just like you can't recall how to say my name.
She said that and the judge says, okay, okay,
let's leave the comments out of it.
Mrs, whatever, you like, I mean,
that's what kind of a bitch she was.
Like she was like giving it right back to him.
And she, yeah, and then he was saying something like,
did you not say that you were going to get reamed
or get your ass chewed out something like that by the,
by the defense and she goes like, I am now here.
Yeah, you're proving it like that's it was fireworks in the course.
Yes. Yeah.
So anyway, it would, I've just never seen such a poor attitude on the stand.
I was like, come on.
So interesting.
Yeah.
Remember, I know I've told you the story before,
but like things are going to come up in the 15 years
that we've been doing this thing.
And stories are going to come up.
But I mean, I've never been a, you know,
a witness in a trial, but I have been deposed.
Yeah.
And it's, it's kind of similar.
Yeah, because the time that I told you about was when,
I know you remember this story,
there was a woman who was suing a guy that I used to work for
for stealing her idea.
So she created the show Extreme Makeover.
Uh-huh.
And this guy stole the idea.
She pitched it to a company and then that company kind of gave it to this guy.
And I had used to work for that guy and he's a piece of shit.
And he was, he died.
But I had pitched him an idea that he stole from me.
Uh-huh.
And to my face was like,
I wanted me to sign a thing saying that I would get a very, very small amount
and I didn't want to sign it.
And he was like, if you don't sign it, I'm just going to pitch it anyway.
Right.
But you can't do that.
It's my idea.
And he was basically like, who go and check me, boo.
Yes.
And so I didn't have any power back then,
but then this was years later, I read about this lawsuit.
And I called the law firm that was representing this woman.
The whole thing was like in, in variety, you know?
And I called the lawyer, I left a message and I was just like, hey,
I don't know if I can help you, but I literally had about experience with this person that you're
suing.
He literally told me I'm still in your idea, like, try to blackmail me, you know, basically.
So he called me and then I ended up, it never went to trial, okay?
Because of this, but I was like having to be a witness and they remember me telling you
about this, they put me through the ringer, the opposing, the guy that was getting sued.
His lawyer was just such an asshole and was just calling me a liar and they brought
out all my old like blog posts.
Right.
And they were like, was this true?
Is this true?
Why did you say this?
They're like, because I had written stuff on my blog.
This was when I was like a new mom.
This was like how I got the book deal for Cippy Cups.
And it was like, I was writing a blog.
I wasn't writing my autobiography.
Right.
I wasn't even writing my memoir to be fact checked.
I was writing like a fun blog.
Right.
And a lot of times I was being sarcastic or, but I was like, I'm a new mom.
Like, yes, I think I put a thing that was like facts about me and I said sometimes I
don't change my underwear for a few days.
Yeah.
Like when you're a new mom, you know?
And then he brought it out and was like, is this your, oh my God.
Is this your blog?
Please have a look at it.
They're like, is this true?
You don't change your underwear and then I was like, oh, I mean, yeah, pretty much.
Maybe like objection.
But then that, but my, he wasn't my lawyer.
Yeah, the other lawyer.
The other lawyer for the woman that I was helping, right, would have to be like, oh, right.
Like stop staring like, you know, I mean, there wasn't a judge.
But there was somebody like overseeing the proceedings.
Like a mediator.
But the guy was like harassing me.
I know it's different than this story, but they can get like, they do get the witnesses shitty
too.
Yes.
You know, when they cross examine, when Karen reads lawyers cross examining some of these
experts, they just go at them.
And I was like, I remember how bad that felt when you're like, how do I get hurt?
Right.
I was trying to like, yes, just to expert called to the stand.
Yeah.
Well, you didn't like this guy or whatever.
Well, it doesn't change the fact that this is what happened and I had proof, right?
Because I had proof.
Yeah.
And they couldn't, the, my proof was sort of not disputable.
Mm-hm.
Because I had a meeting.
Right.
And then I did have, I had the contract that the guy made me sign.
And so it never went to trial because they settled.
Yeah.
No, I had to sit there.
Yeah.
And get ready to get dep, dep, dep, dep, dep positions before.
And it's not pleasant, you know?
If you feel, you know, you have to go under oath and tell the truth, the whole truth.
And then they cross examine and then they do cross examine.
Yes.
And in a lawsuit that we were in a few years ago, I had to, you know, why was deposed and
I was cross examined by the oppositions attorneys and, and yeah, I mean, they try to trap you.
Yeah.
Gotcha, but luckily for me, it was basic questions.
But the other people on our side that they cross examine, they totally try to get you like,
you know, try to trip you up, you know, and say things like, well, you know you're under oath.
Don't forget your under oath.
Like just because we're not in a court setting, you're under, you know, and yeah, it can be,
it can be unsettling and it can be, you can be nervous, especially you're going on,
on TV and the thing is getting, you know, broadcasted.
And this girl is going to get skewered.
I felt bad.
Did you, did you see the guy?
He was an expert that testified about the car and then the opposing council.
Karen Reed's journey was like, that's Alan Jackson.
Yeah.
He was like, so I'm looking at your LinkedIn.
Did you see that?
Yes.
When it turned out, but if you really understand, like I've, I've watched and listened to so
much about like this guy, it's basically something that anybody could do on his actual resume.
He wasn't lying.
He didn't say that he had a degree.
Right.
When he was trying to get his degree, we was in process and then it never happened.
He had put it on his LinkedIn.
Yeah.
But it's like, you know, everybody is thinking like, I have a line on their LinkedIn.
I know.
Right.
Yeah.
It's sir.
It's been taking you nine, 17 years to get your, your degree.
Yeah.
Well, things happen.
I got married.
Yeah.
Things happen.
Seasons come and seasons go.
That's like a couple of years, but 17.
Yeah.
I felt bad for him.
Yeah.
What did you see?
What do you think about the guy with the, with the blue paint on his arm doing the recreation
with the carb bumping into him?
And why didn't they use a test dummy?
They had it there.
They used it for something else.
I would have rather seen.
I was glad.
I was like, Oh, this is going to be good.
You know, I want to see how it works out.
But then it's like, they're just like bumping into him like, no, no, no, do the paint on the
test dummy and have the car go as fast as you guys said it's going.
And let's see what happens.
That's what I would like to say.
Well, it's, they should have a suggestion.
Yes.
The thing like, you know, they do on the Boston local news because I watch it every night.
They do like a half an hour of recap because it's in Boston.
Right.
And they do have like, like viewer rights in, do you imagine viewer Lynette C from California?
And they're like, ah, from California.
Yeah.
She doesn't get it.
Fuck yourself.
Whoa.
Now are you also watching the heat?
We did it.
-Yeah, I am.
And it's harder because, you know, you got to like, there's not cameras in the courtroom
stuff.
So I kind of just have to see the drawings after.
-Yes, yes.
They should make up.
They should like do some crewed animation where they just take all the drawings together
and then there's flip it real fast.
-Right.
-That would be great.
-Looks like they're moving.
-That would be great.
-There's a figure of we did.
-I love to see you doing me did these voice.
-Have you seen the AI?
-There's like, somebody is doing the AI stuff.
I saw Sunny Austin was hosting something on Hulu and they were doing, "Oh no, that
wasn't AI.
That was a reenactment.
They hired actors to do the reenactment."
But then there's also this something on YouTube where they do the AI and P. Diddy looks
like, you know, he's got the gray hair and stuff and then they have the voice over.
There are people are trying to just recreate.
So the P. Diddy stuff, I don't know.
I feel like they're having a hard time getting the Riko charges because I don't know.
I mean, you hear one expert, I listen to experts.
You hear one expert talking about, "Oh, they've proven it by the kid cutty stuff throwing
blowing up the car, having his crew show up with guns at the Mel's diner to go after
Shug Knight."
Like, there's all these instances.
But then you hear the defenses expert on TV going like, "That doesn't mean that he's
got a criminal enterprise.
That just means he's a bad guy and he's a thug."
But that doesn't mean he's got people on his payroll.
That's what, you know, they, they're, there is assistance and there is, you know, that's
what they do or whatever.
I, I don't know.
Why isn't J.Lo having to testify?
I would be a good, I don't know because you know she knows some right into that.
Yes.
With my suggestion.
Yeah.
I feel that J.Lo should have to answer for herself.
Don't you, she probably knows some shit.
She has to know some shit.
She was there when that shooting happened in the nightclub.
Yeah.
I don't know unless she's trying very hard to stay out of it and has her attorneys.
You know who's got a really bad take on this is Bill Mar.
Oh really?
What's he saying?
Such a piece of shit.
What is he saying?
Oh, basically that Cassie, you know, was in, in, in, in gave enthusiastic consent.
Really?
He said that?
Yeah.
He's on P-ditty side.
Oh my God.
He's just, he's gone off the deep end.
Yeah.
It's real bad.
Yeah.
People, you kind of wonder like who, what other celebrities are, I mean, that have to be involved
and they're just not, you know, we, I thought that we would hear some celebrities.
I mean, I can't imagine that all those people went to the white party and then yes, I'm sure
a selective view were invited to the after party.
Maybe not necessarily a freak off, but you got to think like Aston, Kutcher must know
something, something.
Aston, Kutcher has been adjacent to some real sleazy shit in life.
Yes.
How is everything like a near miss with this guy?
I know, right?
With the Danny, yes.
There's murderers.
Oh yeah, there's murderers.
There's murderers.
The Hollywood chick that got murdered.
Yeah.
Oh my God, I forgot about that one.
And he was at her house.
I am not accusing him of anything.
They found the guy that did it, but it just is weird that they were like supposed to
be on a date and he was like, yeah, I came by and I saw something.
Awesome wine spilled and I was like, yeah, she's probably busy.
Yes.
Come back another time.
Yes.
Turns out she was murdered.
Yeah.
That is weird.
Yeah.
And what do you think about like the Kim Porter's dying?
Tell me more.
Well, you know, it was his first, his first wife or girlfriend or whatever, right?
Mama's baby.
And she, I guess got pneumonia and died.
But then there are people, somebody else, there was the Brittany Murphy thing that she got
pneumonia and died and then we talked, do we talk about this?
I mean, a long time ago.
Yeah.
And then her husband and her boyfriend, right, right, right, husband, right?
Yeah.
I think he died like a couple months later.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's just very mysterious.
It is.
I'm not going to solve it.
I, I, I don't know.
I hope he gets put away.
I mean, you've got some time right now.
I could go online and start, I mean, he can't get away.
There's too much.
Like, it just depends on how bad the charges are going to be.
Right.
I mean, he's, right.
He's not going to be like found not guilty.
No.
I think they already got him on the sex trafficking and it's a sex trafficking.
There's the other charge and the RICO.
I don't know, but that's the thing.
How many, how many years can they, can he get?
I don't know.
I think I think somebody said like eight to 10 years or something on the trafficking charge.
I'll take it.
Yeah.
But like, if you really want to send him away, he's got to get the, they got to get the
RICO's from what I understand.
Yeah.
So you're watching that.
So I was watching that.
I also been paying attention to some of the Baldoni and Blake lively stuff.
That's just getting crazier and crazier that there was this, this organization that comes
out and help women that have, that they asked the court to dismiss the case because on behalf
of their organization, they, okay, apparently they, they go out.
There's been women that have accused their accuser of sexual whatever and then they get
retaliated and they get sued and then the women don't have the means to fight back and they
just give up.
And this organization is, I think, there are specific in the state of California.
I don't know.
I'm not a lawyer, but they, they protect these types of women in these types of cases and
they went to the judge and asked the judge on behalf of their organization, throw out the
case for Blake lively.
They're asking the judge to throw it out.
Oh, God.
But Baldoni's lawyer answered.
And if we want to do an ad and I'll tell you what, yeah, let's, let's talk about speaking
of heroes.
Let's talk about hero bread and how much we love it.
I've always wanted to like low carb bread, but here to four, it hasn't tasted, it hasn't
had the felt like I'm having real bread until now.
Hero bread, it's fluffy, it's satisfying.
It, the texture is amazing.
It's just like regular, ready bread and Natalia has tried it and she loves it and because
she's on a low carb diet.
Yeah.
My kids don't care.
Like so they did, they didn't know the difference.
I just gave it to them.
They have these hero classic plain bagels and they have an everything bagel.
Yeah, love my favorite.
Which could please like in the old days when your kids weren't allowed to eat bagels,
yeah, this would have satisfied every fight.
Yeah.
You would never know that it's low net carb and high fiber bread from the texture.
It's so good.
It's soft and fluffy and you're going to love it whether you're like grilling burgers
and you need some hamburger buns.
They have tortillas, nice.
They have everything you need and hero bread is offering 10% off your order.
So go to hero.co and use code F-C-O-L, a checkout.
That's F-C-O-L at H-E-R-O dot C-O.
Nice.
Yeah.
So, so this, so this organization, yes, wrote a letter to the judge to throw it out.
Val Doni's lawyer, Ryan Friedman, responded and he was like, yes, we're not saying anything.
We support this organization that's there for a reason.
However, it's for, it's typically for women that don't have the funds or the means to fight
these frivolous lawsuits when they get counter sued.
Yeah, a perplex.
So Blake needs help.
This has nothing right.
So this is nothing but in anyone on like this is a PR, you know, this is nothing but a PR
stunt trying to get sympathy blah, blah, blah.
It's desperate on Blake's behalf quite frankly.
She signed off on it and this should be thrown out.
So I don't know what the judge has said yet, but we'll see.
So I read this thing that was basically where Blake is now trying to ref trying to go
back on what she said and say like, oh, actually, this was like a cultural differences.
This was kind of a misunderstanding because of Val Doni's religious belief that he's part
of the behind thing.
And like, oh, she just didn't realize like how people that practiced that religion behave
like they're more huggy or they're more right, whatever.
So like she, you know, maybe I think she's really.
Frame out like that.
Like I just didn't get like maybe right, but then she still is going for what the, the
I guess will or but isn't also he's, he's the one who's also pissed at this point.
Right.
Oh, I mean, she tried to damage.
Yeah.
I've heard that he's not going to give up like he wants this to go to trial.
Like there is a blame him.
Yeah.
And then his lawyers are acting like this is going to try and then there's Taylor Swift who
just doesn't want anything to do.
She's like, my name is Paul.
That's between you all.
And then there's all these people in mind like, did you see Taylor Swift go out the other
night and she's with Melanie Griffith's daughter Dakota, Vant, not Dakota, Vant, Dakota,
Vant, Dakota Dakota.
Yeah.
Is it Dakota?
It's Dakota.
Anyway, Melanie Griffith's daughter Dakota.
And there's a symbolism there because she's starring in a movie and I think it's Colleen
Hoover.
I could be wrong, but she's starring in some movie like that has to do like in the Blake
circle.
I think it's the Colleen who a new call or I don't know or a wayfare movie, I think.
Okay.
And so now she's BFF going to dinner and they go out to dinner and Taylor Swift's wearing
all floral.
And people are like, is that like an F you?
You know, right?
So pretty interesting.
I don't know.
People are reading into a lot of stuff, but that is interesting.
I just wish that the trial date wasn't so far away.
I'd like for it to go to trial.
I mean, no, we need something for summer.
Yeah.
So speaking of summer, okay, so tell me about Natalia coming home.
Yes.
So sorry.
Natalia came home a week ago and I helped her like pack her things and, you know, but she's
keeping her place for the summer.
She's able to do that.
So she's she's just bringing like things in little upperwear boxes that she wants for the
summer shoes and bait and mostly bathing suit crap.
Anyway.
And she came home and it's been it's been great, you know, having her around and having her
company and, you know, like we have breakfast together.
It's so nice.
And so she's asked her dad if he would she wants to, you know, learn production, learn that
thing.
So she, you know, she wants to get experience in that part of her, you know, what she
wants to do.
What kind of production?
Like TV production, okay, because she, you know, she wants to do like broadcasting things
like that.
So she asked her dad if he would ask Jimmy and, and, you know, back and forth, she had,
I helped her with her resume and she emailed Jimmy back and forth and then she got an interview
and it was on zoom and she, he like set her up with like somebody in production to meet
with.
And she was like, I'm so nervous, you know, she's like, what should I, you know, we're like,
rehearsing, you know, what are they going to ask me?
And, you know, I'm like giving her questions.
And I just, she's, so she's doing the zoom with them and I'm listening to it and she sounds
so green, you know, like there's two adult guys on the zoom and they're like, you know,
hi, Natalia nice to meet you.
She's like, hi, and she's like all smiles, you know, and she's just like, yeah, that
sounds great.
You know, she's had jobs before and she loves to work hard, you know, she's a hard worker.
She worked for Garagos.
Yes, she worked for Garagos and she's had her host to sing.
And she, yes, and that was a fast-paced job.
She, she's never back down from challenges.
She likes to be challenged.
She's always had the challenging me, you know, the tough coaches.
So I'm not worried about her, but the interview part, it was like, she, she was so nervous.
She's like, you know, she's just answering like very innocent and like her, like it's our
first interview ever.
She's acting like she's on a being deposed.
Yes, exactly.
Like, like she's acting like a cunt.
She's like, why are you asking me that?
Right.
No.
Like, she was just like, okay, that sounds great.
Oh, anytime.
Oh, for sure.
Absolutely.
You know, it's like, oh gosh.
And then afterward, they're like, okay, we'll, we'll be in touch.
And then afterward, she closes her laptop, she goes, oh my God, I sound so stupid.
She said she goes, I sound so like, here I am.
Like all smiles on Zoom, like, you know, ready to go.
Like she's like, I know how I sound.
I know, you know.
And so then for an internship or for a job job, well, she, we didn't know at that point,
you know, she wanted either or.
And so I wanted her to get a paying job.
Yeah.
There's paid internship.
Yes.
So, so they were, they told her that we're just now staffing now is the time because we're
staffing up for summer, you know, PAs and, you know, we'll be in touch kind of thing.
Yeah, she could so easily be a PA.
Yeah.
Yes.
So thanks to Adam.
She's going to have a car.
Yeah.
Listen to our patron.
Um, my Adam.
Adam learned.
Oh, Adam.
You're out of it.
It's a little dicey.
No, no, no, no, no, my Adam.
Thanks to your Adam.
She'll have a car.
Yes.
And you, yes, you, yes.
And my Adam, yes.
Yes.
Right.
So, and you call him Michael.
Michael.
So they asked her, they said, do you have a car?
You know, she said, yeah.
And, you know, they asked her some of her work experience in the past, blah, blah, blah.
But yes.
So she, you know, she's like, I, you know, we'll see what happens.
They said, okay, you know, so then the next day they got back to her and she got the job.
Oh, good.
So a job.
So it's a PA job.
It's paying.
And it's for the summer.
She told me is pay pretty well.
Well, she's only working two days a week to start.
Maybe it'll get more.
But for now, they just need her on Mondays and Wednesdays, you know, and, uh, you know,
and I gave her like, you know, you have to like, don't be on your phone.
You know, you go above and be young, blah, blah, blah.
And she's like, I know, you know, she's like, I know, she goes, I'll probably leave my phone
in the car.
I go, well, you're going to need your phone or, yeah.
Yeah.
But just a texture.
Yeah.
So, um, so she was like, yeah, so she was very excited.
And, you know, she knows like, this is because of her dad.
Not, you know, she knows it's not that easy.
But so, yeah, it's just until the end of summer, only for a few months.
Well, so a lot of this stuff is who you know.
And I just don't think that we should feel bad.
I mean, I, you know, LB is trying to get an internship.
And what did I do?
I racked my brain for like, who do I know?
I hit you up as you know, not Jimmy Kimmel, but I hit, but anything that you can think of
that like people who are in whatever industry there, people give jobs to is people that
a friend of a friend or whatever, right?
Right.
A lot of times there are not, listen, a friend of mine.
I sat with LB.
I think I told you this is like a year ago and went through exactly how to get internships.
And the whole thing is to like, yes, have your resume done pinpoint like what area you
want to work in.
Right.
But then once you do that, rack your brain for like, who do you know?
You have to check, go through your connections on LinkedIn.
Like, a lot of it was like, who are your sorority sisters?
Who, who's related?
Who's related to somebody that you can ask?
Yeah.
And then LinkedIn is all about, right?
Like you're linked in us to connections.
Gone are the days of just answering an ad, right?
And just being hired off of yes, you know, but she knows, but she knows she's like, I know
I'm like, this the kid of, you know, Jimmy's friend and like she's not lost on her.
That's okay.
And I said, but you know, like, fuck up, that's one thing.
Right.
But she goes in there with a good attitude, which she has.
Yes.
Hard, which she will.
Yeah.
And that's not ready this morning and I made her little scramble eggs.
And it's not like he's giving, it's not like Jimmy's making her the boss of people.
Right.
Like she's a PA.
Yeah.
Of course.
Which is a job and entry level job.
Yes.
I think where people get mad is like, oh, really?
Oh, you're bringing this person in to be head writer, right?
When Natalia comes in and goes, yeah.
All right, guys, what do you, I don't know.
What do you guys got for me today?
Move over, Molly.
Molly Kimmel, his wife, writer.
Yes.
Yeah.
You know, which, which does happen.
Well, also, there's a lot of people in Jimmy's family that work at Kimmel, cousin Mickey,
cousin Diane, Uncle Frank, work there.
God rest his soul before he died.
I mean, there's just all these people from the man show to this day are still working
there.
Yeah.
Hey, before we move on and we have, we have some more
stuff to talk about.
Let's talk about Skylight.
Do you want me to start by talking about via?
Yeah.

So I have Skylight, which I love.

So okay, so you didn't have to bring all of Natalia's stuff home with you.
No, which is good.
Right.
But she still had a lot of shit.
Yes.
So we're going to have to move LB out.
So LB is done at the same day that Sunny has done.
But she has to move out of her apartment because she's moving into an off-campus apartment
for next year.
But so she came home for the...
Yes.
Okay, so she came home to see, as we talked about on Tuesday, Sadie and Zander's show, the
music show.
It was really cute.
So she came home the night before and then she went to the show and then she had to go
do a couple things at night, but then she came back and slept at home and then she was
home the next day.
And then I had to...
Okay, so Zander does not...
Still does not have his permit.
This is just like a little bit of my kids, my twins personalities.
Sadie is so...
Her social battery just gets drained.
So the music show was a huge day that they'd been anticipating and practicing for a long
time.
They go do the show, it's a lot of socializing, it's a lot of like getting nervous, doing
your thing.
And then afterwards they went to a party at one of their friends' houses.
Right.
And they were kind of there like she was done, like early, even at the party.
It had been a long day for her.
She came home.
So the next day a friend of theirs who was having a graduation party, I found out later.
I thought it was a birthday party.
So I took Zander to CVS to get a gift card for a birthday party and I was like, what is
she like?
Well, Sephora, typical stuff.
And then something, something and then he goes, yeah, oh, we went to go get the card.
He was like, oh, we got to get a graduation card.
And I was like, wait, what?
It's a graduation party.
I thought it was a birthday party.
He was like, no, it's a graduation party.
And I was like, she's homeschooled.
But like, all right.
I guess she's still graduating.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, if anybody's going to have a party, it's, let's have it for the homeschooled kids,
because they probably deserve it.
You're right.
They bid home.
You know, right, you're right.
All year.
She, this girl is like the cute, she's, she's like an actress.
Yeah.
So she's doing her own thing.
But anyway, it was like a dress up party.
So I was like, well, that's just cash.
You know, somebody is Sephora card for their graduation.
Right.
She's given some cash.
Right.
So we did that.
Right.
Anyway, point is, Sadie was being so like annoying Xander because the party was supposed
to start at four o'clock.
Well, guess where they live?
Lake Forest, which is like, yeah.
So it was an hour and 40 minutes away.
Oh my God.
Now, we've done, John and I have done this thing before in the past.
And listen, this girl has come to LA many times.
Like her parents drive her ass around a lot.
Yeah.
You know, they get it.
They're like, we live really far from a lot of like her friends.
This was a girl they met doing improv like two years ago.
I was just going to say, yeah.
Okay.
So they love, they love her.
And she's just, she's darling.
She's a good friend of theirs.
And she'll come to LA, but like every once in a while, we got to bite the bullet and take
them to her house.
Yeah.
But one time, John went and just literally like, sad in the car for six hours while they
hung out.
But we've kind of learned our lessons.
So we've changed it so that one of us takes them there and then comes home and then
the other one goes and gets them later.
Right.
But if they're only going to be there for a couple hours, it seems stupid.
So then we agree like, okay, if it's only going to be like,
you're couple hours, just go hang out, right?
Okay.
But here's the thing.
So they had to be there at four.
So you got to leave it like two 30, but Sadie was like, we can get there at like five
or later, but hadn't told Zander that.
So Zander's all ready to go at like two 30.
And then she's not ready.
Right.
Anyway.
And who's driving?
So I was going to drive them there.
Okay.
And then come home and then John was going to go later.
Got it.
Okay.
So anyway, I'm ready to go.
Zander, he normally, remember how your kids used to get in fights with each other and get
mad.
This was one of the few times I've heard Zander be like truly annoyed.
But Sadie's got her own, she's on her own thing like her own thing, which is like, I don't
want to go to this fucking party to begin with because I've had a lot of socializing
the day before.
And now this feels like an obligation.
Yeah.
So I'm going to go make small talk with her other friends who I'm not really friends with.
Right.
Yeah.
You know, yes.
And I don't, she didn't want to go.
Yeah.
So then she was in a bad mood about it.
Even though she was all dressed up.
I guess she bought a dress or maybe borrowed one because they were both really like dressed
up.
Yeah.
She was all made up ready to go.
So she made Zander wait because she was like, I'm not long story short.
We get in the car and now we are going to be like not get there till five.
Right.
We get in the car and Sadie just looks tortured and I was like, I don't want to be in a car
with her for an hour and a half of this an hour and 40 minutes of her just not what.
And I was like, don't go.
Like if you don't want to go, yeah, don't go.
And she was like, but she's going to be so mad at me.
And I was like, no, she's not.
That's a beauty.
She's going.
That's a beauty.
I have a twin.
Let's say Zander.
I go, Zander is going to represent.
Yes.
Yeah.
She's going to get money.
She's going to be totally fine.
I said, you and just tell her, you got the whole summer.
Yes.
We'll make it up to her.
You guys will go do something.
We'll go drive to her later.
And she was like, really?
You think?
And I was like, yes.
Yeah.
Go.
She wanted to study.
She had a big test today.
So anyway, she went back in the house.
Zander and I had a lovely drive.
It was like really fun.
Yeah.
Just two of us hour and 40 minutes in the car.
And when I really fast, I like, I was like, okay.
Let's go through all the things.
Talk about your girlfriend and talk about the end of school and what are your plans for
summer and love?
Yeah.
And I'm like, what are all the things that we could do over the summer?
And it was really fun to talk about school and talk about college and by the time we got
there, I was like, I'd had the best time.
Yeah.
I love those drive.
I love those times when you get one of them alone and they become, and they're talkative.
Yes.
Before in an Italian would be like, but now she's like,
totally mature.
Like, yeah, she'll talk to me about anything.
Yeah.
It was so cute because then later, Elby came, Elby was home.
And I just had such a good time with Elby too.
We were laughing so hard last night because she loves to show me stuff on TikTok.
So we were both, just, we were both laying in my bed.
She was, you know, I went through this period and I wanted to, I actually want to talk about
this a bit on Patreon.
Mm-hmm.
I want to talk about like some of the phases of parenting.
Yes.
Have some stuff to say about that.
But the part that I want to say here is that like, she's just so back to her old self.
And she's so fun and like, she was being really affectionate and like, she kept like trying
to roll on top of me and, you know, like, she was like, wow, like just being very silly.
Yes.
She was really drunk, but I'm just kidding.
But she was showing, like, I was, so we were both just laying there scrolling on our phones
and laughing so hard at just stupid shit.
Like, I felt like it was just being with like another teenager.
Right.
Like, I was a teenager being with a teenager.
Right, right.
And we were laughing at like dog videos and then we found this TikTok thing that I didn't
know was a trend.
Uh-huh.
Okay, but it's these, it's these, it's mostly, it's the ones that I saw were all black men.
Uh-huh.
That were, it's the thing, the challenge is your wife makes you call your friend and say,
"Gonna eat."
So these guys call, like, calling, going, like, hey, and then the other guy would pick up
the phone and go, like, what's up?
And they'd be like, I just wanted to say, like, goodnight, you know, like sweet dreams.
And then the other guy would just be like, what?
You'd be like, what can't, can't, can't somebody call you and say, like, sweet dreams?
And the guy would be like, bro, I just talked to you like an hour ago, like, what are you
doing?
Right.
And he's like, I'm just, I'm just trying to say, like, you know, sweet, tight, like,
that's so sweet.
And I we were, I was crying.
I had tears coming out of my eyes.
We were laughing so hard because it was just, because the guys when they do it, they
just get really giggly.
Right.
Some of them can't get through it.
And it's just like contagious in the house.
I was like, this is so, I think I found it.
And I'll be goes, mom, that's a TikTok trend that's happening.
Oh my God.
That's funny.
Yeah.
So then she showed me a bunch more.
Uh-huh.
I love that.
That's the best one.
They's like share stuff with you.
Although sometimes when they show me the TikToks, like, I'll be like, I guess, sit through
another TikTok because there's some things that like, they think it's really funny.
And I'm like, oh, I don't know.
I mean, my kids don't have good taste in TikTok.
I don't know, but I love, I love when they're giggly and they want to hang out with you.
I'm going to, I'm trying to find one.
I'm not ignoring you.
I want to play you, I want to play you one that's really funny.
Yeah.
It's, uh, but like it's, it's hard to, I follow people and then I have to like find them
again.
But is this girl named?
I think I looked her up.
Damn it.
Sierra?
Sienna?
Mm-hmm.
Sienna?
Who, who boroughs?
Okay.
I got to play you this one.
It's so, it's, I feel like maybe I even played it for you before.
It's Gen Z.
She does a bunch of like Gen Z stuff.
She's a comedian.
And she's really funny.
And she does a lot of like making fun of Gen Z, like, I'm being on a job interview or Gen Z,
firing you or, um, hold on.
Gen, here's a Gen Z in going on an in job interview.
Wait, low key like I lost my voice.
I was like, I'll really late last night.
I don't even think this popped off.
But low key, I've heard you're resume.
Yeah.
It was amazing.
Like literally what?
What?
A, we have a lot of beachholes on Instagram.
Really?
Yeah.
It kind of makes me trust you more.
Yeah.
I think you're like, hey, what's going on?
I don't know.
I'm not going to look at this.
Should I work here?
Um, well, like for the plot, yeah?
Um, yeah.
Fallety back.
Low key.
I will right now.
Yeah.
I go the opposite.
Yes.
It's so funny.
I mean, that is, that is, that is, I'll be though.
It's funny.
She is too a T.
Right.
That person.
Everything is low key.
Yes.
For real.
Full stop period.
Yes.
Queens play a pussy queen.
Yes.
That's how she talks to me.
Yes.
It makes me laugh.
I'm like, yeah, the same thing with an Italian.
Like, I think she's kind of trolling me sometimes.
I'm like, are you really talking like that?
And she's like, yeah, what?
What's up?
Like, that's how they talk.
She's really leaned into this, like, being 20.
Right.
Whatever this thing is, yeah, the way they talk.
Yes.
But it's so funny.
I'm trying to find the one where they, uh, where you get fired.
But if you guys want to check her out, it's sienna, S i e n n a.
Puber H U B E R, Hubert, and then Ross R O S S.
But she, I laugh really hard.
So I turned Elbian to her.
Oh, my God.
And I'll just find them and then I'll just send them.
I, I know it's not like original, but I do think it's funny to send Elbian memes all the time.
Yeah.
But we started laughing so hard at like a stupid one.
Like, it reminded me of just being high with my friends when I was younger,
where we were laughing so hard at this, there's this one where it's a dog on the side of the pool.
Uh-huh.
And the guy is in the pool and it's his POV looking at the dog and he's like, no, do you know enough?
Like, stop.
And then the dog just jumps at him.
And you know what I mean?
It's just the dog.
I mean, I watch it.
Oh, I just keep watching it over and like cry.
I love that.
He's like, stop, stop, stop.
And the dog jumps in.
Yeah.
I don't know what's so funny about watching dogs jumping in the pool.
I love it.
Or when they're in the pool and the mom, the mom's like, I told you not to get, I told you to get out of the pool
and they're just, they, they just defy whatever she's saying.
And they're like, it's just like, don't do it.
Don't do it.
And it just like, yeah, jumps like full belly.
I know when you're done.
I watch that one.
And she do it.
Don't you do it?
I love those videos.
Why am I so amused by them?
I'm used by them too.
I love them.
I just think it's funny that Elfie and I were literally just like laying side by side in bed,
just like showing each other videos.
Right.
And then, and then I saw somebody had something that was like, what I was raised on and it
was free to be you and me.
Uh-huh.
The record.
And I reminded Elbi.
I was like, remember because I made Elbi listen to a lot of stuff from my childhood before
she went to bed.
Uh-huh.
Like, I have these records from when I was a little kid.
I can't.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's pretend records that were these story records that I found and then record got the
recording of it and then would put it on a CD.
Uh-huh.
And then Elbi would listen to them before bed.
She had this little boom-bomb.
So cute.
And so she had, I had the CD for free to be you and me.
And we would play it.
She would listen to it like on repeat.
Right.
So she was like, oh my god, mom.
And then we're listening to all the songs.
And she was like, new all the words to all the songs.
I love that.
And that's what I listened to in the 70s.
Right.
Don't you love when your kids like pick up on those songs or traditions and then they like
it and then they enjoy it?
Yeah.
Like, I love it.
That's the best.
Yeah.
So that was fun.
You know what?
We didn't do so far yet.
Let's remind everybody because you might have forgotten from the beginning of the show to
go sign up on Patreon at the $10 level because we are doing a Zoom.
Yep.
And then if you want to go back down to the $5 level after that, go ahead, I'm care.
But you'll also get all the bonuses.
And you know, if you want to do the $25 level, you'll get your name shouted out.
And if you want to do the $50 level, which is such a bargain.
Yes.
If you're bargain hunting, you can get a $5 level.
Yeah.
And then you can get a $5 level.
