Red Carpet Recap and Curtain Close

That's like the one thing, if I'm gonna put one sort of makeup on, it's gotta be a mascara. And I put everything else on it and I didn't put my mask on. That's funny. For me, it's eyeliner. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I can't actually stand how mascara feels. I hate it. Hate like it feels in general. Well, I can't wait to get it off my face.

Yeah. I don't mind the rest of it. Like, I don't think about it once it's on mm-hmm. . Except for the mascara. . Yeah. And then it, it feels like really weighted down, you know, like every blank. Yes. And then, and yeah. And that, so, and I don't like it when it's all like clumpy. Yeah, I know. That's kind of like a thing.

Yeah. I don't like that. Don't know why. That seems to be like okay with everybody else, but I know I hate it. Well, I'm gonna totally do a plug because for someone who doesn't have a lot of, I don't have a lot of eyebrows, don't have eyelashes, whatever. I have probably tried. You have lighter hair. A habit.

It's just light. Yeah. I have tried every mascara on the market and I had gone and gotten a facial one day, and this my girl was like, oh my gosh, you have to fi try Thrive. And I've used Thrive before. Oh yeah, I've heard that. Yeah. Well this is, it's called Liquid Lash Extension, and it's a mascara and it goes on, it's really easy.

It doesn't, it's not super clumpy. Like I, I literally just did it in two seconds, but if I had more time, I would like take my time and do it. But anyway, the really cool thing about it is that you don't get that like smear underneath. Mm-hmm. , like after you sweat or like a long day or whatever. Yeah. It stays on.

But you have to warn, like when you tell people to get it, when they go to wash it off at night, it actually comes off in like these silicone, like little tubes. It's crazy. your legs. Yeah. You'll be like, what is that? And you're like, oh, that's the mascara. Like it doesn't rub off like regular mascara. So wait, wait.

Are you saying it perf, it like makes a sheath? Yes. It like so and then it comes off in a sheath. Yes. It's amazing. Yeah. I cut like there's like a small part of me that like, that like picks, that is like fixated on that idea. Yes. Pick off individually each one. Oh well I And examine it, right? Like you have to look at the tube

It's pretty, pretty cool. You should reload it and it, I know, right? But yeah, it's definitely has like a silicone type situation to put it back on your eyelash. Is that what you mean? Reload it. , I mean, yeah. It's even got a different little brush to it. It does. It's like a thinner brush because flower brush or something.

Yeah. So I have another one that my sister got me. I don't, sorry. Drama Mama. Totally talking about drama mama's by. Yes. I'm Kristen. I'm Angela. I'm talking And that's Happy Day today. We should just call this episode Squirrel. We should . Oh, sweet. Jesus. Yes. Well, because we had great ideas. Yeah. Yeah. And they, and then they required some time that I don't think any of us had.

Yeah. Let's, no, so they're on a future podcast. Yeah. We'll talk about something really super cool that I think a lot of parents have questions about, which is like, why is it that when I go and I watch a show, like with my kid in it, why can't I take photos or video of them? Mm-hmm. . Oh, yes. Like I can, when I'm in this, in a, like going to the elementary school and the kids are doing, you know Yeah.

The Mighty, mighty Spelling Bee or whatever it was that they, that Pinky did the first show that she ever did. And, um, yeah. I mean, I think it's a great topic. Yeah. And we all have questions about that, but we don't know enough about it to actually talk about it yet. Mm-hmm. . So, um, we have to get educated.

Yeah. I've been pointed to that. There's supposedly some stuff on the MTI website. Okay, cool. So we can go and read up on that. Kathy, like this feels very up your alley for some reason to me. Yes. So like, like research? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Like it, like a hidden talent, which is web slew thing, Luther, anything. And she will find the answer for you in about five minutes.

I try. Yeah. What's your gift? I try. Well, and the longer you give her, the more in depth it gets. So I'm saying whether you're asking for it or not, we got a good couple of weeks. So, and you know, if we're gonna touch on this topic, I'm hoping we can do it in a couple of weeks and why not? Like next podcast.

And that's because it's almost time for New York. Yes. So yes, we'll be busy with that. Yeah. Yeah. And, and we've got some plans. Um, we're trying to line up two guests while we're up there. We for sure have one that we will record, uh, tentatively right now it's set for Thursday. Mm-hmm. . Okay. Um, and then the other one we're trying to get.

you know, maybe for Tuesday or something while we're up there. Which one? Yeah. Uh, the one from wardrobe. Yeah, the wood draper. Yeah. Oh, yay. Yeah. Yeah. Especially with Laura there. Well, that's kind of what I'm hoping. I don't know what time there flight comes in, so we gotta be cognizant of that. But, you know, we've got, everybody's got plans and some of them aligned.

I'm so excited for this trip because we're all doing it together, but also like not Yeah. I mean, we're more together. Yeah. Because together we're Airbnbing together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Part's asking me if, um, she's like supposed to bring her, uh, air mattress. Oh, okay. So pj well I talking to PJ about that cuz it's got three bedrooms, right.

So I was like, well, and then, you know, if Jordan and LOLer are, you know, they're gonna stay. So I'm like, okay, we need to figure it out. So I asked pj, I said, cuz do we, you know, bring it for our kids? And he was like, listen, that stuff's gonna be really heavy. It is gonna be hands on it Right. To the B Oh. I guess we could do, that's what I would do.

Yeah. , it'd be almost as cheap. Amazon it right there and then have to carry it. Well, he was talking about purchasing it when we got up there, but I don't know, like, you know, whatever. That's a great idea. Yeah. And he said, let's wait when we get there too and see what they have. Yeah. On a sleeping setup, something.

Mm-hmm. . I don't know. It should be in their description, like what they have available. Like I think it says it sleeps like 12 or something crazy. There's probably some couches. It must have, there must be some pull out couches. Yeah. So yeah. Anyway, pinky is very particular as you would probably expect from that child.

Yeah. So, um, yeah. Which, you know, it's crazy. Is Mikayla's the one that's autistic? Right. And she is not like, she doesn't care. She's kind Go the flow. Yeah, she is very good. Whatever. She's kind of a tank, you know, like she just, I don't know. Mm-hmm. , I, anyway, I love my kid. Poverty on the other hand. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Very particular. So she's like, Wanting us to do that. I'm like, well, we'll have to see how it shakes out with the packing. Yeah. So if there's room, we'll put a little twin air mattress in there and you know, the little air up thing. And those things are heavy because that should fit. I mean, that's what we're planning to do.

We're gonna take a bedroom, PJ and I, and then put the kids on the floor. Mm-hmm. and like on a mattress or whatever. We'll figure it out. Yeah. And just do that, you know, and then, you know, whatever. So next week we'll be Yes. Seeing some shows. I know I totally cut you off cuz you were gonna talk about more makeup shit.

Oh yeah. But that's okay because I'm, listen, you have to cut me off , otherwise I'll be breaking out my whole makeup bag, talking about all sorts of stuff. This is the squirrel episode, right? So like it is, you know where it is. But we try to like circle back on shit like Yeah. You know, we do. We do. We take you, we take you on her journey episode.

Like you're just hanging with your friends. She might not learn anything useful at all, but I know, you know, hopefully it's entertaining. Although I do have a question for you guys. Have you heard of vocal fry? No. No. Okay. I keep hearing this term vocal fry. I was, I was listening to the podcast and they had, it was like a collaboration podcast.

So they had the women who do the Murda Mystery podcast. I don't think I have the name right, but it's all about Alex Murda and the, he's all over the news this week. Oh, right, yes. The guy that just, yes, yes, yes. And she was saying, I mean, it's an incredible podcast. These investigative journalists have done all this work.

And she said for like the first four months, she got all this criticism because of vocal fry. What is that? So that is when, so when you produce a sound voice, you are pushing air through and your vocal chords are vibrating. Okay. I think I just did it and didn't even mean to So you're . Okay, let's, it's saggy gonna work.

No, it's not gonna work. Nobody needs see that right there. My boobs were showing. Um, I just happened to it. Just . It was a saggy mic there in his flip there is a, sorry. There is a king size air mattress there. Okay. So Master Bedroom sleeps two cream bed, sleeps two bedroom, three sleeps two King size air mattress with Pad sleeps two.

Okay. So 2 4 68. Sorry, I had to, I had to get that answer. She, yeah, I had to get some answer. Yeah. Okay. So back to vocal fry . So when you don't push a lot of air through your vocal chords, like slow down and you can hear the chords kind of hitting against each other. Oh. So I can only do it if I imitate, imitate Kim Kardashian.

So she talks like this and like it gets real grovely. Oh, I just thought it was like a smoker's. No, it's called vocal fries when they're not like pushing enough hair through and apparently it's like a millennial thing now. Oh. Where they do a lot of this like on purpose. I was like, ah, the mall and and it gets all grovely.

Huh. So once you hear it, you can't un unhear it. But that's vocal fry. So it's like this millennial thing that they're trying, there's all kinds of research like, like us millennials, cuz I'm, I'm the like I'm an elder millennial. I would not consider you a millennial. I mean maybe technically you are. Yeah.

But you don't act like No, I don't have a lot of those characteristics. Yes. And it could even be, what's the, what's behind the millennial now? The Gen Z Gen. Well that's what I'm wondering. Is it the Gen Zs or is it No, red was talking about millennials. Whatever the kids are now. I don't even know. I don't, I don't even know what I am to be honest.

X I think we're X. No, we're x. I don't know what I'm, yeah, I think we're X. Anyway, so they were like doing all these different studies about it and people over 40 absolutely hate vocal fry cuz it just sounds lazy. . Okay. Irritating and grinding on your eardrums. Isn't that kind of how they describe the millennials?

We're totally alienating , so no, our audience, we love millennials. Sorry, I'm an elder. Millennials, like technically speaking, that's not how we feel. It's just, you know, millennials take a lot of heat for the way that they're, they absolutely. Do you know how they view the world and their placed in it? It's a little bit different.

Okay. Well, and apparently, like Britney Spears uses it when she sings. Uh, interesting bunch of people I was reading about, but yeah. I learned about vocal fry, so, all right. Yeah. The like, well, if you're saying Britney Spears, like, I think, I feel like I could hear that. Yeah. Like thinking on how it sounds when she sings.

Right. Like trying to sexy and soul tree. Yeah. Sort of. Mm-hmm. , but it just sounds lazy. Yeah. Like a one 900 number . What? That's what they say. gonna need to explore this a minute. You never heard that. Like let's say you have, you're getting over a cold or you have laryngitis and you have that like rasp to your voice, right?

People are like, oh man, you should be it. That sounds like you're on a one 900 number. You know the people they call, well, I don't think they have those anymore. Now it's called the internet . Oh yeah. True. I'm, it's only gay. I'm clearly not a millennial. Clearly not a millennial . No, she is not . She has approved that.

Listen, so I have age group. Okay, so millennials are born people defined as being born from 81 to 96. So you are I am the, yeah, I'm in the elder millennial. You're 81? Yeah, I'm 81. Wow. Okay. So Gen X, because we remember, we were just trying to figure out how old I was when I stopped Count . I know, I know. Well, it didn't take with you, you're not a millennial.

I don't know why. I don't really fit a lot of the stereotypes for millennials, but there are few. So what are we so. Gen X is 65 to 80. I was born seventy six, sixty nine. Okay. So yeah. So we're Gen X, you're elder, gen X, I'm like Grandma . And then Gen Z is anybody 97 to 2012. Okay. So that's our kids. Yeah, that's our friend, yes.

Okay. Yes. Wow. Gabby's just a Gen Z cuz she was born in 2012. Okay, but what's after the Gen Z? Gen Y? No. Why aren't Gen Y? It's called Millennial Smiths. No, they have another name. Zoom. Zoomers. . A Zoom. I've heard that. I've heard that know I have too. Don't know if that's them or not though. No. It refers to members of Gen Z or people born in the late nineties and early 2000.

It's modeled on the Boomer. A common shortening of baby boomer, early use of zoomer referred to physically active baby boomers. I don't know. So it doesn't say that. Okay, so that's not it. Uh, no, I, I, I feel like I've heard the term, but I can't think of what it was. Mm-hmm. , I have two for whatever they are after that.

So who comes up with these names? I have no idea. Is there like some foundation somewhere that's like Probably, so let's think we're running out Alphabet letters. , it's like hurricanes. Yeah, I retired this one. God for real. We were in the car the other day and Gabby was like, oh, we were talking about there were songs on the radio and like inappropriate words and this and that and then she was reading a book from school.

Was this when you played the Fong song for them? Nah. . Way after. Way after . I missed that. Yeah. Well we were talking about like inappropriate stuff and then she had been reading a book and she read a book and it had a derogative term in it and she told the teacher, and the teacher took the book. She's telling PJ and I the story and I was.

Hold on a second. You're like halfway through that book, like you only have a certain amount of time. You gotta take an AR test on that. Mm-hmm. Are they gonna give that book back to you? Like, that was my concern. , like, whatever, I don't, she's reading, she knows what to say and what not to say and what's legit.

Right. But anyway, my concern was you just spent, you know, however many weeks reading this book and then they just take it away from you. Like, you gotta get your assignment done. Anyway. Was she picked out? Yeah. She didn't know it was gonna have this word in it. What doesn't have something in it before. And it was pretty derogatory.

It was like a pretty bad word. So anyway, so she, she let me know, no, they're gonna give it back to me tomorrow. I said, okay, that's fine. But then she said, when I'm done with them, I'm supposed to give it to them and then they're not gonna put it back on the shelf. I said, okay, that's fine. We were cool with it, whatever.

Anyway, moving forward, then we were just talking about like different things and da, she's like, yeah, you know, like how boomers like a bad. . And I was like, what? Is that what she's like? Yeah. Like you're not supposed to call somebody a boomer. Like that's, that's a negative connotation. All her boomer teachers probably told her that.

after they slapped her with a ruler . Yeah, well looked at each other. We were like, hold on a second. How? How is that bad? Like when did Boomer like a baby, just like calling somebody a Karen? It is. Wow. Yeah. That's I It's calling. So is Boomer. It is. Yeah. But it shouldn't be, boomers are amazing. Yeah. Baby boomers look like you don't believe me.

baby boomers. I mean I've thoughts every generation She's got thought, she's got thought. They all have good things about them. Yeah. It's like any I do, they're good and bad. Yeah. You know, but generally speaking, yeah, I would say it was a derogatory Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah. Well, she educated us cuz that didn't occur to me that that would be, and then she's like, well where did it come from?

Cause then we had this whole discussion on why they're called the baby boomers and you know, around war time and you know, whatever. Everybody came home from war and then all these babies were born nine months later. And it's the baby boomer generation. Mm-hmm. anyway. . So, yeah. I didn't realize that Boomer was a, I mean, there's all kinds of terms and things that we've said over the years that Oh, yeah.

We didn't realize mm-hmm. . So, and, and who educates us, but our kids. Yeah. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Oh yeah. So here it is. Oh, no, you can't say that. And you're like, oh, why, why? Yeah. Yeah. They'll, my kids will be like, oh, that's next level Mom. . Yeah. Okay. First all, what does that even mean next? And why ? What is, I just say that is so bad.

Yeah. There's, there's all kinds of terms like that. And then that always spurs a whole discussion about, well, what about this one? Mm-hmm. , I don't, well, what, what does it mean? You know, like, like my dad used to call like, uh, cars from like Japan and stuff, you know, like he used to call 'em rice runners.

Mm-hmm. . Oh. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. That's probably not good, dad. It's not great. But, you know, we learn a lot of terms like that and we carry things forward. Mm-hmm. in our like, everyday lives that we don't necessarily. realize we're that kind of origin until you start really diving in on that with your kids.

Mm-hmm. . Because it's not something that you just innately go to, I think. Right. Yeah. You know, and at least not in our generation, kids these days do. Oh, they're very, they're on it. It is. And I think too, like, and partly with, with the word that Gabby had picked out, it was like historically describing mm-hmm.

a situation and, and a group of people and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Where back whenever the book was written, like maybe that was the true meaning of the word. I have no idea. But now, as years have unfolded, that word is not something that you ever wanna talk about. Yeah. And so, you know, it's just, yeah.

You just learn. You just learn through generation. Mm-hmm. , you know, and, and you get educated and Yeah. Our kids are, they're way beyond us. Yeah. Yeah. They are. It's, they can keep us young, right? Yeah. Yeah. They will. Yeah, they will. Aw. Well anyway, we totally scrolled on, wow. I don't know how we went from mascara to.

I'm not sure. Vocal fry, talking about fry. Oh yes, yes, yes. The vocal fry. Mm-hmm. . Okay. Well so now hear that and then be like, oh, I know what that is. Yeah. That grovely sound when Britney Spears goes, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. . And you're like, she sounds like constipated. What is that blanket time you re like look into it?

It always goes back to Kim Kardashian. She must be like the queen of vocal fry. Ah, interesting. Do you think she does it on purpose? You think like that's her thing? Well some of the studies are saying that women use it, I don't think consciously, but it makes him sound more male because they have a lower voice, which then gives them authority and respect.

Okay. So that's a whole nother can of worm song. I saw TikTok. Oh, interesting. Some of the best senses cuz come out like that, they start that way. So I saw TikTok, this girl had kind of one of those voices. Mm-hmm. and she said, It's, it's a lot of work to talk the way that we talk, like normal every day. She said, so it's better for you.

I have no idea who this girl is. So with that caveat, Jordan, yeah, I know you're gonna listen to this. You're gonna be like, that's, she's helpful. Full of shit . So it's fine. Because I believe Jordan, and I don't know that I believe this girl, but I thought it was interesting. So she says, when you relax and you just kind of let out a sigh and, and voice happens.

Mm-hmm. , that, that's the voice you should be talking in. So if you like just kind of relax and go, huh? That, that is the voice you should be talking in. That sounds very close to vocal fry, vocal fry's, like the lowest register of your voice. There's vocal, right? There's chest, there's head, and then there's whistle.

According to some of the whistles, some of 'em had five registers. Okay. But that's, yeah. . Well also, that's how you talk in it, SHA. Well, that's another subject. We know absolutely nothing. I feel like that's a little bit more work for me just to relax. Like, look, you slow down. I did. Slow down. Now I sound like a sloth

With a list. With a list. . But I'm not clicking today. Oh, Jesus. . I'm clicking with the only the time you eat. Yeah. That's weird. I don't know if that's true. That's weird. I mean, she did it like crazy when we were here and she was eating french fries and drinking a drink. Yeah. It could be alcohol related. Not for nothing.

it. You know what, I wouldn't be surprised because when I get a little couple drinks, the first thing that goes on me is my speech. Mm-hmm. , the very first thing. It's gotta be a neurological issue that I have. It could be my common sense goes . Find that courage at the bottom of the cup. Oh dang. There you go.

That works. But no, I mean, maybe something gets lazy in there, you know? Mm-hmm. and it just, . It's like, woo. Yeah, it's good stuff. Fucking girls . We're gonna do it. Speaking of random repetitive noises. Yes. Oh God, I hate them. Not that I even noticed you clicking until Chris pointed . Now they're gonna hear it all the fucking time.

The way I have like a, A twitcher. What did I don't? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's cool today. So I went, so to get a um, massage, which I'm not good at self-care. Oh, well at all. None of us are most teaching. Yeah, exactly. You're pretty good at it, but mm-hmm. . So I was cleaning and I found this gift certificate for a massage from like three mother's days ago.

Oh my gosh. Hopefully is still good. It was? Yeah. Oh, nice. Oh wow. Fantastic. Unfortunately, because it was the worst massage of my life. Oh my God. And lemme tell you why I know. It's so disappointing. I was so excited. Like, yes, I'm finally gonna go take care, care of myself, you know, spend an hour relaxing. . My first clue should have been when I made the appointment as to why this guy had so many open appointments.

that should've like clued me in. But no, I get there and I get in the room and we're getting ready to get the massage and it's like super bright in the room. Oh, can we turn that down? Can dim it down a little. Is it it like you can hear the light buzzing ? Yes. Like a mosquitoes in that . So you're like, oh, I don't know.

I don't think so. So it's like super bright. So first of all, I'm irritated by that because you know, usually it's almost to the point of you can't even see. Yes. Like almost a blackout. That's how you want it. That's why you wanna relax. Mm-hmm. . Okay. I'm like, all right, fine. I handle this. Close my eyes and still see the light.

I know I could, I had to focus really hard on this. It's red now. Can I get five patches or something? Gimme some cucumbers. Yeah. You're facing down to that thing. All right, I got this. So he starts to do the massage. And he starts breathing through his nose. ? No, he was the loudest nose breather. Did he whistle?

Yes. . Yes. And it was like a B flat . Oh no. It's breathing super heavily. Oh. And underneath that was this very faint whistle. Oh my gosh. And all I can do is pay attention to the whistle's. Pitch up or down. I mean, it was like , I'm not exaggerating. My God. And every once in a while there was like, can you imagine a kid like Nerfing on their sleeve?

Oh no. He would just do that. Not with the sleeve, but just. Make that noise sniffles drive me crazy. Well, you had your face facing down so you couldn't see what he was doing. He was like, couldn't. And then he'd just go right out. . He probably did. Yeah. So that first of all just set me off. This is the beginning of the, oh, that's all I could, oh, extra nose, whistle oil.

I'm like, okay, come on. You got this girl. Just focus. Focus on the relaxation. And then I go right back to the nose. Did he play music or no? He did. Okay. But it's hard to his old music. I meant like a spa music. He had a nose whistle, but it was in there with that Japanese flutie music. Oh, oh, okay. Did it clash with that?

Cuz it was different note. Dead

And then all I could focus on was the Ja. I'm like, okay, listen to the music. Forget the whistle in his nose. Listen to me. Oh my God. I wonder if I could play this on the recorder, cuz I have this weird talent where I can play any song on the recorder. Yeah. I, I'm not musically inclined, but I, I can't wait for you to break this out.

Yeah, I know she needs to, it's gonna take a few drinks, but Yeah. Some alcohol. Yeah. So then I'm thinking, well, can I wait a minute? No. Focus, focus on the relaxing, like, I'm literally talking to myself this whole time. Like, you got this. Just focus. Relax. Yeah. And then he'd whistle his nose, enjoy it. Well, then you're like, motherfucker, I was , like, I'm singing Moana in my head.

What is wrong with me? . . Our kids have ruined us. I know. Yeah. They, he takes me down a whole nother train of a thought that is not relaxing. Then he starts working on the hands. He must have had some kind of farm hand experience cuz it was like he was milking my fingers cuz he kept pulling on them. . And then all my, are he trying to do a pocket at this point?

Point? I'm like counting the minutes till I can get out. Yeah. Like are we done? And you, and you wanna say, can you go blow your nose please? I'm like, sweet Mother and Mary. Oh, poor. I could not get out of that rim fast. I was so irritated by the time I got out of there. It had the exact opposite effect of what it should be.

Yeah. You should have recommended a Neti pot in your review. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Right. And he was a very nice person. I'm not gonna name bash the place or the man, but Oh yeah, yeah. Won't be going back there. And I got an email like, we'd love your input. I'm like, oh no you don't. You don't. Yeah. You don't want this.

Yeah. I mean you should do it just so they. Yeah. If it's not public and it's just going to them like maybe it will help. Yeah. Like I know it's allergies. You like blow your nose. Come when start buddy. Cause that just sent the whole spiral downhill. Yeah. Dam your lights and blow your nose and we'll all be good

I can focus on stuff's hot. Also maybe like, don't milk people's fingers. It's fucking weird. I'm like, stop pulling my fingers. Like , like you got a bucket. You should farted

milking your fingers. God. , I'm not milky white. Stop. Stop it. Okay. So that was my disaster this week. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. You know, in the midst of a week, like we had all of us, these super busy weeks where Yes, you know, you wake up and you think I'm so tired of being tired. But it's not, sleep is not the cure, it's just No, no.

It's just, you just wake up more tired when you try to get more sleep. It's weird. It is weird. Yeah. I mean, I started burnout guys. That's, you know, with all the supplements and stuff that I, I had started like a year ago and they've helped a lot. But the thing that probably helps me the most when it comes to the sleep and feeling rested.

Mm-hmm. is dim. D I m. Oh, I used to take that. Tell me about it. Cause I'm trying to remember what it is now. I take it period. It's okay. I got this , I got this. Yeah, I'm all over it. My phone's over there. I can't do any looking up. You're good. I have Who's an obgyn and she told me to take that, but now I can't remember.

I feel like, is that another train? Train is coming. Sweet. Jesus. It's, no, I think it's one of those where they pump it like on Bugs with the dynamite on the battery. Yeah, I hear it. It's like Yosemite Sam down there. Oh, for real? Well they're stopping. It's just a slow process break. Oh look. That's so much better.

I was gonna say, it sounds like that guy hit to that guy's nose. . It's fading. It's like it's flat. Wait not to see. Nope. Back to a B flat. Okay. What is dim? It's supplement. So it's a supplement, dim supplement, peak, pure and natural certified authentic ingredients. Um, are you on Amazon right now? I, I'm on Google.

She's already got ordered to her house. Yeah. , she was like, she said it would be good there between three and five. I don't have any problems sleeping. I can sleep anywhere, anytime, like I used could. Yeah. Until I got old. Okay. So if you're having trouble, maintain a healthy weight, feeling sluggish or unable to regulate your mood, struggle with your sex drive, you can be experiencing a hormone problem called estrogen dominance.

Yes. That's what it was. Around that. Yes. Yes. Peak dim short circuits. This artificial estrogen overload by getting to the root cause of fake estrogen. I guess we fake estrogen. Hormone balance, energy, sex drive, metabolism, and mood swings. Wow. I feel like every woman over the age of 40 needs to get honest.

Yeah. Pretty much. Um, that, and you know, you can obviously get on hormones that help because like, I didn't make any progesterone. Oh, Dal I, so I take that. It's Dal methane is what it is, but yeah. C vegetables. Mm-hmm. , it helped a lot. And then the other thing that you can do that will help with your sleep is like bringing down your cortisol levels.

Mm-hmm. . Yeah, I heard about that. You tried to do that with a massage and it didn't work out. The opposite effect. Yeah. More stressed than when I went in buzzing lights and ugh. Milking finger guys with nosy. Oh my gosh. With, with, uh, no noisy noses. Noisy noses. . My family knows. No random repetitive noises.

I'm like super sensitive to sound. That makes me crazy. Speaking of crazy. You're comfort. Here we go. Oh wow. That was loud. That is bad. Definitely pause. Yeah, we can pause. We can talk about that cortisol thing. We can just cut it out. But yeah, so that's, um, , that's a big thing. And diet can help with that. But remember how Jordan was talking about doing those ice baths?

Yeah. That helps bring down your cortisol as well. But you need to be careful. Like if you have a, like a heart condition or anything like that, like you don't wanna do any of that. Yeah. But yeah, they'll like shock you. Yeah. I want you to send this video to me. Okay. Do it. Oh, it's a short 1, 2 7 96 in the house.

All right. Oh, you can airdrop that to me later. Okay. I will. So I just wanna say it just stopped again, like right here behind us, haunting us. Like what the actual Fuck . Oh my. It's Sunday morning. Well, last night it was like fucking train. Crazy happening. So, I, what are they moving on? We're close enough to the tracks that when a train goes by ever so slightly, you can feel it in the apartment.

Oh geez. Things start rat. It's just a little bit of a, like a bumpy mm-hmm. . Yeah. You know, and you have to kind of be still to feel it, but you can feel it like if you're sitting on the toilet or Well I was leaning up against the bar or just, I was just kinda leaning. Well, cause it's a hard surface, you know, I was just leaning up against the bar and I feel it , I sometimes sitting on the couch, you can feel it.

Okay. Which is strange cuz there's all that padding. You would think it would, but Yeah. That's why you're just sitting and you're just like, you just feel it ever so slightly. I go, you don't even move. I'm, I'm exaggerating. Right. But, but you can feel it. And it was like non fucking stop. Last night I picked up Chris from Chitty, we got Pinky situated.

Yeah. Which that was a whole other thing. Oh, poor thing. Yeah. The day in the sun for her. Not great. Mm-hmm. . anyway. And she's very dramatic. Oh yes. She's fucking hate, she's sick. Anyway, so where like we get her settled and it's just train after train after train. I'm like, is it the same train? And then you'd hear like it would stop.

You would feel it. Stop. And then you'd hear another one. Yeah. And then you know, there's the one that always comes through and blows his fucking horn like 5 million times. As he's going through, I'm like, seriously, dude? Oh your fucking ti on the horn. Certain hour. You couldn't do that. He wants to get like all the homework.

I don't know. It was because it was late. I mean, we didn't, we weren't done with Chitty until after 10. Yeah, it was after 10. And then, you know, we got home and poverty wasn't in bed until like 11, and then we weren't in bed until like midnight and it was going on that entire fucking time. Wow. Yeah. It's like two hours of trains.

How do the dogs train? Train trains? They don't seem to really care. They only care about things that sound like. Oh, okay. Like we had something like that this morning and we couldn't tell what it was. Chris leg is another shooting. I dunno. Gunshot. Gunshot, . It didn't sound like that. Yeah. But there is somewhere close by that must set off fireworks to scare birds, cuz that happens almost every morning.

Oh god. Oh yeah. And every time the dogs are like, mid shit, I'm done. They pinch it off and they're ready to go back up to the apartment. Oh no. Everybody time, you know, there's more so like, oh yeah, they're, they're gonna take care of it at a later date. Mm-hmm. , hopefully. No, I'll go back upstairs. They poop on the floor.

No. Thankfully no. Okay. Yeah. Now that's a pretty rare occurrence actually. Yeah, but that's good. That's good. But they will let you know that in 30 minutes they're going to need to go back down. You know? They did not finish being, especially he gets this like look on his face. Yeah. Because it's touching claw.

He's very crowning. He's very emotive, crowning . It's, yeah. Got a turtle head, choke it out. Turtle neck, . We used joke with Michaela about that when she was little. He's got the poop chills. He's like, yeah, well, . He's like, I got the poop chills. You never heard about. You never experienced that? I don't think so.

Oh gosh. What? It's, you gotta go so bad though. Like, you, you get cold. Like your, your hair stands up like, like when you're, when you're sick from whatever you ate. Yeah, that happens. Yeah. It's like it's gotta happen now. Yeah. You're like speeding down. Your body is hitting the eject button and you're just, you're just holding it in for dear life.

Yes. You're pucker factor and you're sweating don't. Yes. The chills and then the sweat fat and then it waves. It comes in wave and then yeah, you're, I'm good. I'm good. I'm gonna make it. But you know, the next time it comes on. But then you, not harder, it's like contractions. It is contraction a little bit.

You are not gonna get that grace period. Like it is gonna be on my don't, when it comes back, it comes back with Ven. Yes. Um, I have struggled with my, I took Chris Celiac and um, McKayla and we went, we went shopping cuz Mikayla needed to stuff and then we hit Firehouse Subs cuz it was right there. And as soon as we got done with Firehouse Subs, we went to Target cuz we had more stuff to get.

And um, cuz you know, fucking trip. And uh, so we are in there shopping and we're just about ready to check out. Chris is like, I gotta go sit in the car. And I was like, what's going on? Are you sure? And he's like, the car, he needs to sit in there . He's like, it's just not good. That firehouse was not good. Oh no.

And I'm like, well there's a restroom here. He's like, no , it's gotta be desecration in there. Like, you gotta go home. I was like, okay baby, it's fine. I'll get home. And the whole way home, he's just silent and sweaty. Oh my God was like, poor guy, he's gonna love you. Telling nuts story. Oh, I know. He was real pleased with whatever it was.

I said last week too. Oh. It was about his ass. . And then I left that in. Oh, but then did you take it off? I couldn't find the behind the scenes again anymore. No, it started out the episode. It starts out the episode. Success started out the. Oh, I, yeah. Cause Alan goes, you gonna cut this out? Which I cut, cut out all the other stuff.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is great. Hand in the camera. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I cut out all the other stuff I left really started that. I thought it was a simple, I left that in cuz I thought it was hilarious. It was, it was hilarious. I even showed Chris's ass twice. Yeah. Yeah. Cut that camera. Love that. Yeah, that was great.

Yeah. He was, he was real pleased with that. Right. Does, does that wishing sound mean? The train's gonna, I'm not really sure, but it's the brakes. Like it's really making me wonder about the audio quality at the moment. Yeah. Sorry for this. Yeah. That part sucks. The guy casually strolling by it in a worker's vest makes me think there's an issue that there could be, might need resolving.

Yeah. Well they should turn it off and resolve it , because we're clearly trying to do our thing. Air Oh man. Are kind of like a thing. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's okay. We'll figure it out. We'll just talk extra longer today in case you gotta piece it together. Yeah. . So as I'm packing, cuz we're going to New York.

Yes. And it's cold. And you started packing already? I'm super where? Oh, they, I have not packed thinking about packing. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Right, right. Do we have what we need? Yeah. I thought it's gotta be so much easier for people from cold weather climates to come here. Yes. Because it's, because you don't need flip flops, strip it off and wear your t-shirts and your tank top and you're good.

Whereas we gotta think about layers and gloves and hats and uhhuh, . All the tanks we don't have because we Yeah. Cuz we have to go fucking shopping for that shit. I know. And you think anybody here in Florida has that? No, we're already moved on it. I had to order jackets. We didn't even use jacket at all this year.

No. One time I wore my jacket. Yeah. I, I had like a sweater and then that We like sweater, sweaters. A wore sweater. I don't even did that. Yeah. You know, because it's, but we're not, we're not like standing at it either. Like, like we go outside, we're like, Ooh, shit, it's cold out here. Get in the car. Yeah, exactly.

It's, you suffer through it 34 in the morning, but then by 10 o'clock it's 67 also. Then you're sweating. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, we, I know I had to get Gabs this jacket. It's like electric, yellow, like that color. You, you won't lose her. But that's why I was thinking, I'm like, I'm not gonna lose your ass in New York City.

She's, I got the air tags, like that kid is not from here. Yeah. I thought the kids air tags. Oh, did you? Yeah. Oh, that's super smart. Yep. They've already been using them. And it's funny because you can only register them to like one person. So like we have our like family all linked up. Mm-hmm. and Chris was like getting the air tags kind of set and so he programmed them with him.

So now, whenever the kids are traveling with me, cuz they're already using them. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. I get all the stupid notifications on my phone that an air tag has been following you. Oh geez. And can see your location. Oh my gosh, it's so creepy. . It's creepy. It's creepy. I be like, is it my kids or somebody else?

No, it's for sure the. So let's talk about that. So what are they, so do they, does it go like on their clothing or does it go, I mean, you've seen the air tags, right? They're like the little circles. They're kinda like quarter sized. Okay. Okay. Little like a dog tag. Okay. Yeah. Similar. Okay. And, um, they connect to any wireless device and that's how they're able to send the location anytime.

Okay. Um, and be that small and compact. So if you're in an area where it's rural, like we thought about putting them on the dogs after Bean ran away. Yes. And I was like, you could just get a little thing and it holds it and you put it on their collar and now the dog's always there. But if the dog runs off and there's no fucking wifi.

Right. Which is where Bean went cuz he just ran off in that field. Yeah. And there's no wifi over there that he could connect to. I feel like I have a little hair like anyway, um, then it doesn't do you any good to help track their location, but it can be pretty precise. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. You know, perfectly precise, but like good enough.

Right. So, um, anyway, but I going to New York. , that feels like a really good thing. So I just got, they're like a little key chain holder and the kids just put it on them. Gotcha. And I was like, you know, you don't need all the rest of your shit, but you do need to wear this. Mm-hmm. . So, um, yeah, that's a great idea.

Yeah. It's a Apple product. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There's like, you can get one for like 30 bucks or you can get a four pack for like 99. So we did four pack, we've got two, one on each kid, and then we've got two that are gonna go in like some luggage, I think. I'm not super sure. Okay. Makes sense. And live in where we live Now, we might still should do the thing for the dogs, but, or even like, your kids walk into the theater.

Well, yeah, and they, they're using them. I'm not gonna take those back. Those are, you know, very labeled in Christmas. It's a really good idea. Mm-hmm. , I mean, they always have their phones with them anyway, but like, if you got separated and like they got snatched or something, the phone's gonna be the first thing that gets tossed out.

Yeah. But if you're wearing the air tag somewhere where you can't see it. Yeah. You know, and these had like a little lanyard so you know. , you can kind of tuck it or whatever. They sell these, um, these other ones that are like little pins. Mm-hmm. . And so it slides in, it's like silicone and it has like a pin, like a, you would wear, you know, like on your shirt.

Yeah. P i n and you can pin it like on the underside of like their waistband or something like that. Okay, gotcha. And so then the air tag is not easily found. Found. Yeah. Put like on their little Cammy or something. Let just put a microchip, you know, that works too. Yeah. We'll just when they do it with dogs, why can't they do it with people who says, well, it doesn't, who says they haven't done that?

They, that doesn't work the same way. Like with dogs, you have to scan it. Yeah, that's true. This like, Hey, I found the kid and then whoop, this is the I Id That's different. Like, I need to be able to like see, locate where they are. Yeah. Yeah. Locate. And we use the shit outta that with phones as it is. Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah, we do too. Real. I 360 find my phone. Um, and we went last year I, there was never a time where I felt unsafe. Yeah, that's good. You know, it's a different. time in New York City. You know, if you went in the seventies and eighties, forget it. . But yeah. You know, they've cleaned up quite a bit. It's, we felt great.

Yeah. Yeah. I think it's gonna be good. And part of it too is like, not being super, super touristy, you know, walking with a purpose and being cognizant of your surroundings and you know, your environment, but, um, you know, it can't hurt hell. I mean, there's a whole trafficking child situation going on right here in our town.

Yeah. So, going to Target is sometimes, if I think about it, is a little scary. I don't, I don't like to go at night, like all video parking stuff on side of people that like, they're like, they notice something like on their car. Mm-hmm. or Oh yeah, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't touch that stuff.

There's like a little flyer by your handle. Mm-hmm. , they said not to touch it because it could have chemical on it and they're gonna pass out. Yeah. There's all these little tricks, right? Yeah. You know, men don't have to worry about that shit. No, they don't. No. No, but women do. Yep. That's the world we live in.

The kids. Yeah. World we've always lived in. Yeah. Which is why we love the theater. Thank you for bringing it back. You're welcome. Wait, what? We do love the theater. Connect that dot for me cuz I'm gonna need little help. It's a little building that our kids are in. It's a little bubble generally with people we know.

And if they're not, then we're there. . Yeah. And, and we're aware. Everybody knows everybody. And I mean, just like last night we were at the Harrison Red Carpet and what a fun event. Oh my gosh. Oh, I was talking about that. Amazing. Yeah. But Stella was asking me if I enjoyed the dancers and I said, you know what?

I wish that they had had a separate piece. Just the dancers. Yes. Because I was so busy looking at all the kids that we know. Yeah. I was watching Autumn and I didn't see the girl fall. Yeah, I saw that. But yeah, I saw that she fell, but I didn't see the fall. Yeah, but you, I was so busy. You know, one's over here, one's over here.

All these kids that we've known for all these years that I didn't focus on the dancers. And I know they were beautiful, but I didn't Yeah. Didn't really take it in. . This was a lot at once. Yeah. Yeah. It was just stage. Well, I mean, we're proud of all these kids, even though they're not ours, they kind of are, you know?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. . So, yeah, it was great though. So they, they showcase every department has some kind of showcase so that like the piano and the guitar students were playing kind of jazz barish outside where the auction and the food was so you could appreciate them. And then the chorus sang a beautiful song that was written for them.

It was a Latin song. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Beautiful. Yeah, it was, um, the musical theater kids did a couple numbers and one with the chorus students when, and the dance, like everybody was on stage at one point. The orchestra, symphony or orchestra played just, it was really, yeah, it was fun because my aunt was in town from Georgia and my mom wasn't gonna go cuz she was in town and she was like, oh, I'd like to see that.

And it was fun for somebody who's not used to the level of talent that we have to see that yes, she's got high school aged grandchildren, like five of them. , but you'd never seen anything like that with that level of bet talent. I bet. Yeah. Yeah. So it's kind of unique. Yeah, it's, it's funny too, cuz you know, for a hot minute while we were thinking about, you know, what we would do with the kids if we moved over to towards the Tampa area and like, what are the options that are over there and then there really isn't anything, even a little bit like Harrison, the closest thing is Blake and they're not, like Harrison is its own school.

Mm-hmm. , while they don't have the academics and the kids go to Lakeland High for the academic portion, um, like they are their own entity. Mm-hmm. , um, and the kids are that school, even though they're academics happen there. So, um, but at Blake it's just like an academy. It's more like Rochelle Got it. Like you're kind of picking a major while you're there, but it's Gotcha.

You know, it's a school, it's not in a great area and it's, um, it's like C minus, it's almost a d it's, it's just not a good school. Mm-hmm. . And that's like the closest that you have out there. and I, I guess you know that in the end there's really just not a lot of schools out there that are like Harrison.

Mm-hmm. that are, you know, yeah. Good schools funded well. Mm-hmm. when my mom gets on my supported. Yeah. It's free. It's a public school. It's free. Yeah. Kids don't pay anything to go to this. You have to audition, but that's like, that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's my aunts. She's like, well, did they go out and recruit?

I said, no, they don't have to recruit. Like there's so much talent. Kids come from everywhere. Exciting to get in. Yeah. Yes. I think that the coolest thing that I learned, I don't know, maybe a year ago, was that you actually don't have to live in county to go to that school. You have to live in county if you wanna be bused there.

Right. And Polk County is a big county. It is huge. So can you imagine how early your ass would be getting on a bus in like the lower parts of Polk County? Mm-hmm. to get up here? Yeah. Woo. I. . I know. Yeah. Because I know like some of the kids that come from Davenport mm-hmm. get on a bus at like four 30 in the morning, which is crazy.

Yeah. You from, that's not that far. Ca city Yeah. Coming on down here. Yeah. Or you know, any of those. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. It's a Watts. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. It's an amazing resource that they offer. Yeah. Yeah. Really, it's such a good school. Mm-hmm. . And they turn out really good talent. Yeah, they do. I mean, you know, they, I think, uh, kids are successful.

What I really like to, we haven't done the red carpet thing before. Mm-hmm. , but we did it, you know, I did it. I wanted to be there. Mikayla was in it this year, so I was kinda like, okay. I kind feel like I have to. So, um, I bought the ticket and I don't regret it at all. Mm-hmm. , but I'm, I feel bad that Chris was, you know, doing Chitty and so he couldn't come and Pinky too for that matter because it was such a, a unique opportunity to see stuff that we don't normally see.

Right. We usually go to things our children are in, but this gave us a chance to see all the departments. Yeah. You could see everything that creative. Oh my God. Oh my gosh. Jazz band was like, kind of as you were coming in and getting seated, they played five or six different songs and they were Yeah. And you know better than I do.

Yes. You know, jazz. But yeah, I was like, oh, I played this song when I, they're way better because they are kids are great. Yeah. Aw. Um, but it was a fundraiser. Right, right. So they Yeah, it was a fundraiser. Like a silent auction. Yeah, A silent auction. They had some good stuff. Stuff. They had good stuff. So they had a, like a trip to Ireland?

Mm-hmm. Rome. What or what? No, there was two vacation homes, but I feel like they were here. They were here somewhere. There was something else. Every seasoned, I can't remember what it was, but yes. And then like braces. , are you serious? Like entire Yeah. Orthodontic workup with races for your kid. Oh dang. Yeah.

Like a $6,000 value and Yeah. You know, I don't know what it ended up at. Uh, the last time I looked at it, the highest bid was like 4,500. Wow. Yeah. Which is a hell of a deal still. Yeah, it is a hell of a deal. I told Chris, I was like, when it was at three grand, I was like, I'm gonna bid, do it. Yeah. 50% off.

Crazy. He was like, no, no. And I was like, no, I'm gonna bid, I'm gonna bid, I'm gonna bid. I wouldn't have, I don't know that I would've gone that high. Mm-hmm. , but, uh, Levine, who's the principal at, um, Harrison, he was talking cuz he did like the filler in between while they were, you know, swapping out X and, um, he was talking about how he had the $3,000 bid.

Mm-hmm. when it was three grand he was bidding and he said he did. four years ago with his older son, Uhhuh . And he won. Oh my God. And so that son had braces. He's like, but I have another son. . Yeah. So here we are, apparently needs braces. Poor kids. So embarrassed now . Yeah. Oh, I bet, I bet. He's like, yeah, that's kinda like us talking about our Oh, kids all the time.

Yeah, totally. Yeah. Cause I got stories. Oh. So we ever, they also do a fund need, like L c T did. So you could just, you know, if you don't want a basket of whiskey, you can just give some money to help. Yeah, yeah. Like they're getting a new sound system next year, which is super exciting. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I love that for them.

Yeah. But another great class. I can't wait. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Very fun. That would be great. Yeah. Oh, and the creative writing kids. Oh yeah. With the piano playing in the background. And they read, so they had a, it was three of the creative writing kids. Mm-hmm. . And so one was like death. Yes. And then one was host, and then the last one was parasite.

Oh, okay. And so they, they had this. S story they're telling. Mm-hmm. . And that's their position. Uhhuh from the the vantage point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The story is they tell it. The parasite was the funniest. Yeah, it was very funny. Yeah. He was, but the piano, so one of the seniors was playing piano and he would change kind of the mood of the song based on who was singing based on the character.

Yeah. Yeah. It was really, I, I was, I was like, oh, here we go. You know? Right. . But no, it was really good. . Yeah. Everything was, oh man, I'm super jealous. Shouldn't be so judgy to go see that . Well, it's hard, but it's not your thing. Yeah. Yeah. , it's sometimes hard to appreciate things when you don't completely understand what's put into it and mm-hmm.

the talent that you're Actually, I was sending videos of stuff that was happening to Chris, so cuz I knew he was missing it, but like the kids that were playing guitar mm-hmm. that it's like their whole apartment and they were out on like this back patio, so you would like get some food and they had like sushi and cheese and all kinds of shit, and like little meat pies.

Oh man. I had to go there to, and then, and then, and then in another area they had like art and, um, with the art was all these like tiny little desserts that were so fucking good. Mm-hmm. , they were so good. Oh yeah. Um, and then, so in between there was these doors that went on, on the patios, like, so nice. I had no idea that was back there.

No idea. Mike's back there. Yeah. It's beautiful. Oh wow. And so, yeah, you kind of go back in there and you're, you're like, you're enjoying this art, like all around you. And then you go out there and it's this guitar thing and it's so good and they, yeah. It was just a, it was a neat experience. I'm so glad I went.

Mm-hmm. and uh, you know, hopefully we hear news that Pinky will be in and we'll have another four years of this because MCK has only got one year left. It's crazy. I know. That is crazy. And when do you guys find out? After spring break, right? Yeah, the 24th. They email out the news, which I'm glad that they're emailing because mm-hmm.

when Mikayla got in. So either way it was snail mail. Okay. And we had to wait for the letter mm-hmm. and it was like, okay, well the letters got mailed out on the 17th, I think was how it went that time. And so then you're just like at the mercy of your mail carrier to like, first of all get it to you and then timely get it to you.

Yes. You know, not put it in the wrong box. Yeah. God. Which we have all the time in our neighborhood. Oh yeah. Well cuz you know, we had the same male person and Yes. . And when you had those big group mailboxes Yeah, yeah. Constantly. Yeah. Well you had, yeah, we had like actual mailbox. She still fucked ours up.

Yeah, no, we had like all the time. Mm-hmm. and she got, she was so fast. We put in the speed bumps. In our neighborhood to slow down those drivers. And it's like she took it as a personal mission to get airbornes between Yes. And between mailboxes to get up to 40 before she had to slow on her brakes. Oh my God.

God. It was dangerous. Yeah. Oh my God. And then you'd get the wrong mail, like all the fucking time. Like, okay, well I guess I'll walk this over to the so-and-so's. You know, no Christmas bonus for her. No . . No. No . Nobody in Florida does that though, right? Like that's a northeast thing. I feel like, well maybe it's a rich person thing and I just don't know.

There's so many things. I don't know. You tip like you're supposed to do. Yeah. Like you're supposed to tip your postal carrier's supposed to tip your trash guys. Yeah. Trash guys is more like, I don't know, we put like a six pack of beer or whatever out there for 'em. Well now they don't even lift it. They have the machine goes over it grabs it.

Something to like, are you really still that? So we done that. No. Should I tip the machine? ? Yeah. No. And half the time, or is this worth a fucking tip these days? Yeah. Garbage worth a tip. Everybody tip. I asked for tip like you go everywhere. Yeah. And it's like, oh, you wanna add a tip? I'm like, no dude, you didn't do anything for me.

It's counter service. Like, I got this . Yeah. I'm doing it it myself. I'm tipping my own self. Yeah. Like it took me for taking the food and finding a seed and sitting down. Yeah. And I know I asked you and then getting up and going and getting my drink and coming back and sitting down. Right? Yeah. Like you just got paid to make the pizza.

I'm picking up the pizza. Why am I that I had to wait 40 minutes for? Yeah. And I know I asked you for a two liter bottle of, of like sodas. You had to go back to the walk-in probably and get that from me. But like that's part of whatever you're making to be here. Like you're already getting paid some sort of hourly.

You know, if our kids were sitting here, this would be that same discussion. We started out with the whole like, boomers being a negative thing. Yes, yes. This is a, this all in that same category. I do believe I still tip here. Do you guys tip here? I don't make you say yes. It depends. No, no, no. Sometimes I do.

It does depends. It depends on my mood. It depends on like how I'm feeling. Am I super generous that day? Like I do minimum 15, you know? And then if you're like a. Sit down service minimum 20. Oh yeah. We always do 20. Yeah. I had, it took everything I made to tip the guy that did my massage. Really? I was gonna ask you if you did that.

Cause I did. And some gift cards. 20. Well if it's a package, a lot of times though, yeah, it include cartoon two. Chris used to give me a lot of shit about the tip that I would give for the pizza delivery. Cause I'm like, I already paid for the pizza. I had to pay for the delivery fee and then tax and now you want me to tip again?

I already fucking did that. Oh. Oh. There's music 11. Is it 11? Quarter or two. Okay. All kinds of sound effects on this. Oh, that's gonna be bad. Yeah, it's probably, that's our, they heard us talking about tips like, look bitch, did you, I tip, guess what? Turn that music up. Shit. I tip. I tip. Yeah, exactly. Can you turn it back down?

I said sometimes fuck. Um, but yeah, pizza. I used to do $2. I was like, it's a flat two bucks. I already paid like six for fucking delivery fee. Yeah. Well now with the app, they like. Add all that already in. Yeah. So you don't even have a choice. Yeah. It's like cheap. Scott. Already cheap skate. Well, listen, last night, I'm not quite sure, even if we tipped, when we went out to the restaurant last night, there was probably, maybe we should hold them because of the music.

Let's hold 'em here. Yeah, we can totally do that. That's Scott. It'll make it easier to isolate. So there was how many people? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. I don't know, maybe 13, 14. I don't know. There's kids there, whatever. And so Oh, at Alehouse? Yes. Okay. I was like, why are we counting? I had already lost it because I was counting the people.

Okay. And my brain, oh, I'm thinking is the music. Everybody was sitting, there's music, music, music. Make it quiet. Holy shit. She's a whistling. Where's the guy with the whistle nose? Um, anyway, and we were there, we got there, I don't know, 10 45. It was one o'clock 12, 12 49 when we got in the car to go home.

Now there was a fight going on. Like a UFC fight. Not like Oh, oh, fight. Sorry. Yeah. I was like, holy shit. Let me, let me clarify that. Yeah. She's going down at Theo house. Yeah. And we knew that it was gonna be busy. No, no, no. Into the mic. We knew it was gonna be busy. Talk about that all over the place. Wave your other hand.

Yeah. I had to talk with my hands, um, because there was like no parking spots and so we're like, what's going on here? You know, like the world at the Alehouse tonight. And um, we got there and uh, people from the party or that whatever, were already there. And so we sat down and it took forever to get drinks and then took forever to get, and I'm like, oh my God.

And there seemed to be, have been two waiters that were waiting on us. And then finally it's like 1230 and we just wanna go home. Yeah. The kid Gabby's texting. How coming home every time we go out after a show. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, let's just go home and like, our kids, this is like a great idea. And then you get there, you're like, I'm tired.

Yeah. Like all this stuff, I'm tired and it's gonna take, you know, two hours for me to eat and get a check and get outta here. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. It was, it was forever. So we're just waiting and waiting and waiting. And we told the guy, Hey, listen, get the checks. And he's like, okay, so who's on what check? And I'm thinking, you've gotta be kidding me.

Like, you didn't figure this out in the beginning, , we fucking told you. Yeah. This is how, cause that's how usually how it starts. Yeah. Yeah. It's like me and this one and this one are together. Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you fucking write that shit down? No, he didn't. And we had like extra sodas coming out.

Like they didn't know what they were just throwing. I'm not getting mad. I'm always mad. That's my superpower. Like the fucking girl, girl . So anyway, long story longer, they, um, , we waited and waited and waited for our check and finally PJ handed me his card and says, go find the guy and just do it. And I was like, okay.

So I went and found the guy behind the bed station trying to split up the check. Oh, geez. And I was like, listen, do me a favor. Take all that, put it on this card. We gotta go, we gotta go, man. And the guy was like, I wish you had told us that 45 minutes ago. And I was like, well, I'm, I'm so sorry, but we can't wait any longer.

Well we were, we thought it wouldn't be a big deal 45 minutes ago. Right. And now 45 minutes in, I'm like, I just wanna go fucking home. Yeah. Like we weren't planning on paying for 15 people tonight, but here you go. We're gonna do it so we can truck outta here. Yeah. Yeah. So, and I'm looking at the bill now.

You censor yourself. The truck. The truck. Fuck the truck outta here. Yeah. I wanna get the, because I don't think I said fuck to the guy. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, that would've been bad. I don't think I did. No, I may have. But anyway, so he was like, okay. And I'm looking at the thing and I'm like, well, is gratuity included in here?

And he was like, no, no, it's not included. I said, okay. So when he brought me the receipt back to the, cuz now they have to print it out again, I guess. So they brought it to me and it was a different total, but I couldn't see where. Gratuity had been included. And everyone's like, what are you doing? And I'm trying to be all like, just stop.

We just wanna go home. . So I'm figuring it out in my brain and I just wrote whatever and, and then I left. And then this morning I woke up in a panic at six 15 in the morning and I was like, oh my God, what did I tip those guys? And I think I only tipped him 10%, which is not like me. I'm not a 10% tipper at all, except that maybe they deserve 10%.

Yeah. For like, yeah. Yeah. So look, I, Chris had a brilliant idea long time ago. We never like did it cuz we're not inventors. We like come up with the ideas, but like that kind of execution is mm-hmm. not for everybody, but your idea people, which is just as important. Yeah, sure. If you can find somebody that will do it.

But the, his idea was a tip, aome, and it would exist on the table. Mm-hmm. where the server could see it, and it would start at 30% tip. Ooh. And it could go up or down or whatever from there, depending on the service and it you controlling it and you would control it. And they could see. So they could see it, see and correct and make their Oh, that's pretty cool.

Yeah. I like that. I know the grackles are like, is that what those are? Yeah, those are, look at how pretty they are. White grackles. They're like purple and blue. Yeah, they have like iridescent feathers. Yeah, they do. They're gorgeous. Grackles. Grackle. Like see, they may have another name. He's coming up this way.

I mean they do for sure have a scientific name, but they may have another name. They're on. I've always known them as grackles. They're looking for some fresh, the girls are brown. Oh, those are the boys. The boys are always, and there was one, he was up at the top of that pole and then that one that just walked by.

Um, he landed on that and then he started making noise. I heard the noise. Yeah. He was posturing and everything. Like his tail went up and he's probably telling him to get outta his. He was like, town, fuck off. This is mine. Exactly. Now they're over here hunting together. . Well, you know, they made friends cuz he was like, fuck off Bob.

You know it's me. . Exactly. cool. Your tits? Yeah. Cool. Your tits. Oh my God. I saw that on the back of somebody's car the other day and I was like, I need that. Oh my gosh. I need it. Cool. Your tits. Oh, it's in the Hi Harrison parking lot. . That's that's funny. At the Rochelle parking lot there's a car, it's somebody that works there and the bumper sticker says, kids up in this bitch.

So they have to like pull in backwards and is it the hella kids up in this bitch? Maybe that's the one. Hold it a little closer. Oh, sorry. Yeah, so we laugh every day at that because you know, I guess somebody at some point said, you need to not show that bumper sticker. So now they back in where you can't see it.

That's hilarious. , instead of removing it, right, you're just taking the sticker? Yeah. Oh shit. Here we go. Oh good. Oh, it's a plane, it's a chain. Well I mean, I, I thought it would be better back here cuz it's normally not like, it's normally not fucking Grand Central Station back here. No, and it's Sunday morning.

where are these things coming from? The last, from last 24 hours has been, I'd look at like my watches over there, but um, like the last 24 hours, it's just train after train, after train, after train, train. Maybe something's going on in the world, you know? I don't know. So let's do a quick plug. So Theater Winterhaven, they have, obviously we talked about the Mary Poppins Jr.

They're in rehearsals for that now. They got little Chahar. Mm-hmm. with Krista comes out in April. Okay. Real quick. I spoke to Cece last night and she's going on tour people. Yes. What the f what? The lighting Thief? Yes. What? Going on tour for a couple months. Holy shit. Hi, sis. I know. I'm so excited for her.

She's making it big. She is. I love that. I'm just mad it's not gonna be anywhere around here that we can go see. She said it's all up north. They've already done the tour down here. Fuck. I know, I know. Road trip. Yes. Hello. Party bus. Yeah. And we may have to go up there and make an interview them all up there.

Oh, that'll be so fun. I'm so, yeah. Yeah. She's, she's following her dreams. Yes. And it can happen and I love it because it's a great mentor for our girls. Mm-hmm. . Absolutely. Talking to your mic to say, Hey, listen, if you, it tickles me if you, um, , stay steadfast and keep your eye on the prize. Yeah. And work hard.

Yeah. Yeah. It can help you. All those different jobs that come your way, even if though it may not be a role you were helping for. Yes. Yeah. She just finished up something in Orlando, she said mm-hmm. , and then now she's doing that. So anyway, so we got that going on. Um, L C T has Rhinoceros, rhinos and the Delilah Swim Club.

Mm-hmm. is gonna be coming up next. Yeah. Uh, Debbie is directing that. Mm-hmm. , which I hadn't seen her since before. Covid. Yeah. Because she used to, you know, teach that class for the kids. Mm-hmm. . And, uh, so I walk in and it was, remember the fairytale one, , when we were doing our last podcast recording with Alan and I walk in and she, they were doing the auditions the first night of auditions for that.

Mm-hmm. , the swim club. And she's sitting there and I was like, Debbie . Oh. Where have you been? Where have you been? Yeah, I haven't seen her in probably three years. Yeah. I don't know where she went off to, but yeah, she, I was like, you probably don't even remember who we are. And she's like, yeah, I do. And I was like, Do you

It's ok. It's okay. I understand. Said, you know, our daughter was in your class mm-hmm. for a little while and said, pinky. And she's like, oh, there you go. I knew you didn't like you look familiar. Right. I didn't know why. Yeah. Um, which I totally get, you know, how many kids do they have to deal with? And she's been know there for so many years and it's been a hot minute, you know?

Yeah. That was Covid. That was pre Covid. Mm-hmm. . So anyway, um, yeah. Saw her doing that, so that's kind of cool. Yeah know she was back and she's directing that and Yeah. Yeah. So we got that going on. And there's, uh, summer camps you can sign up for at Yes. L c t Start looking into that cuz that'll be here before you know, at That's very true.

We're thinking about, um, destination Broadway. Mm-hmm. . Um, and then there's that one in Oklahoma. Oh, uh, yeah. Uh, shoot, I don't remember her name. She's, she was Little Glinda and, um, wicked. She's a smaller woman. Older, blonde, second names. Oh, Chenoweth. Yes. Kristen Chenoweth. Yeah. Oh yeah. So, uh, yeah, anyway, she's got a summer, 11 day summer camp in Oklahoma.

Wow. That she's kind of Oh. Brought in people to do mm-hmm. . So that, that one's kind of interesting, you know, Chris has mentioned it a couple times, so probably should at least look at it. Mm-hmm. . Yeah, absolutely. Let's look at face. I don't, I don't know what the fuck you do up there while you're waiting for your kid to do an 11 day camp in Oklahoma, but I can find us a really nice resort.

Oh yeah. I'll find your resort. There's Queen right here. Yeah, yeah, she is. Um, of course, then there's the New York version of Destination Broadway too, whatever that's called. Mm-hmm. . Um, so I don't know. We wanna look at those and I wanna look into the one that, um, our previous guest mentioned. He said that we're hopefully gonna get to meet artistic director.

I wanna hear about that one too. So we got some options this summer. Absolutely. Yeah. I think it's just, you know, I think it's time to start spreading wings a little bit. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. , start doing some stuff that's outside of normal summer camps. Mm-hmm. , it's time to do the intensivess. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Yeah. So, and Pinky seems kind of ready for it, right?

Yeah. I mean, she's intermittently ready for it anyway. Yeah. Some days, some days, not some days. She's very likehmm, , you know how it is you and you're creative, you get a little down on yourself and it's like, I don't know what I'm doing. This isn't, you know, I'm not good or whatever. Yeah. She, hering ability is like, oh my gosh, we didn't tell you about this.

No. We probably should have the, at least this little bit. Yeah. But we try to capture, so she had, uh, the, the kids all had, the seventh graders had monologues and the eighth graders had little scenes to perform at Rochelle. Okay. And, uh, like a showcase or whatever. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Kind of. And basically they would do this for their class and just get a grade.

This kind of medium really requires an audience. So why not just do it for the parents? So they did that. Yeah, of course. That's awesome. Course they couldn't use the stage yet because it hasn't been like, they haven't had their grand opening, so it's not been christened. And so therefore, until that happens, you can't use the theater at all.

Mm-hmm. . But it's totally done and it's ready. So, um, they did it in the gymnasium and they hooked up the sound system, put the mics on the kids, which I don't know what's up with those mics. Yeah. . I'm getting stuck. Yeah. , I bumped the needle here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. . So Lily Kate. So Lily Kate was like second up.

She did her amazing monologue. These kids, you know, there's, it's a mixture. There's some, you know, really good, some not as, But they're working it. Yeah. They're up there doing it. Yeah. It's just more than I could say for what I did at 12. I, I mean, honestly, the, like, the monologues and stuff, that's a lot.

That's a lot. You get up there by, by yourself, that audience. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, pinky gets up there and she's doing this scene with one, with another girl, and, um, it's a, like, she's dying and she's like getting her clothes unpacked to have a stay at the hospital. Oh. And after not having her best friend in her life for like a year, and it was really, huh?

The friend abandoned her. Yeah. Basically stopped communicating when she found out she was sick. Yeah. She's like, you know, when I needed you, you weren't there, you know, that kind of thing. But it was her defense mechanism. It was really like, intense. It was really intense. So Pinky played the sick person who Yes.

Have a friend. She's such a good actress. Like, is she only do the, the singing, dancing, acting like her acting is just Yeah, she's number one acting, number two singing. And those are neck and neck. Mm-hmm. . But yeah. Yeah, she, the dancing is down a bit. She's improving it. That's normal now that Caroline's gone.

Yeah. So I wanted to talk to y'all about that. We need to definitely find that mm-hmm. , and I was thinking we need to, now that we're talking about acting, I feel like we need to see about getting some, like classes. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. I mean, our kids go from show to show, just that whole like, stretch thing, you know, kind of like the summer intensives.

There's a few things that we've gotta kind of change up. We've got, we've got, we are sitting on our laurels, so to speak, letting the kids just do the things we've found already, but mm-hmm. , I think it's time. Yeah. It's time to kind of push 'em a little bit. Because if we don't, they're not gonna do it on their own.

They need us. Well, and I keep, I keep going back to what I was doing at 12. Yeah. I was outside throwing the ball against the garage, you know, doing cartwheels in the lawn. Like our kids are, they're so much more expected of them. Yeah. And they're being expected to make these big life choices at such a young age that they're not really.

Capable or should be making. And this is across the board with Oh yeah. Kids, not just, I'm not just talking about our kids. So of course they need that kind of guidance, that kind of shove because left to their own devices, that's not naturally what they should be doing at this age. Yeah. No, they'll be on YouTube, on their cell phones.

That's right. Right. So they need guidance and Yeah. Nudging and those kinds of things. I went through that. I mean, when I was 12 I was riding horses every day of my life. Right. And competing and traveling and totally different life. You know, I was responsible for this big, huge animal and like I had to do everything for it, you know?

Yeah. Um, and it was great cuz it taught me so much, so much responsibility, you know, and it, it was, it's an awesome thing. And so, you know, riding horses is not my kid's thing, but you know, they, they need to have something Yeah. To help them, you know, and mold them and whatever their natural ability is. You gotta go for that.

And we as parents have to help them do that. And that's true. Why we have this podcast. Exactly. Yes. Around, holy shit. I filled episode. I just decided to pull it back around. Feld, look at that. I Kramer. I think I'm Kramer. Oh, youer Or am Iise. Oh, I don't know. We can have a whole podcast just on that character analysis.

No, let's not do that. . No. Cause then we'll talk about the Golden Girls. Cause then we didn't have a whole character analysis about that. They were like our age. They were, they were. That's what's fucking insane. It's the hair. They were like fifties. Well, I'm not in my fifties, but I thought they were like in their forties.

Okay, I'm gonna Google that. You should definitely younger than they but it. But they looked old. Mm-hmm. like little old ladies because they had little old lady hair styles back then. And that was like, that was just kind of the way it was. Right now we don't do that. Um, no. I keep wondering when I'm gonna act my age, but I don't know that it's gonna happen.

I don't think it's really kind of our thing. No, I don't think we have like this generation of people. Like, I don't know. No, it's not happen. I'm just a kid that's, you know, got adult things and responsibilities. Right. Occasionally. Adult money . Yeah. Okay. So Betty White and B Arthur were 63 years old when the series began.

Okay. So they were, the characters were not that old, the characters themselves. Okay. Much like the guy ru This was a conversation. I, yeah, yeah, I know. We, so Blanche was 51 or the, the actress Mu. It says much like the character, Rue McClean was the youngest at 51, so I guess she is the youngest fifties. , but still it says Blanche pretty, pretty young.

Yeah. And they, they had like little old lady haircuts, so that put 'em in, like, it makes you feel like they did, they were in their seventies, like they were getting their hair set every week. They went to the parlor every week. Yeah. Yeah. Grandmother used to do. Yeah, my grandmother used to do that too. And then, you know, puff it out after you slept alone.

Yeah, exactly. Get all the holes. Um, so it says, blanche never explicitly shares, her explicitly shares her age in the series, but in a 1988 Mother's Day episode, it was revealed that she was 17 years old in 1949. Well, that's the math I can't do. Yeah, I'm not doing that right now. No. And I have to click on, it's because I got That's right there.

That, that, that fucking dot, dot dot. Yeah. Um, yeah. Anyway, so I'm gonna keep scrolling here to see if I can find that. There's probably a quiz you can take, like, which Golden Girl are you? Which, oh, I'm sure there probably is. But then they, they get all of your personal information and they know all your passwords.

Then they sell it. Right. No. I mean it's like all those questions you get when you're making your first password and they give you the safety questions like, what was your mother's maiden name? Right. You know? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah, that's true. Never thought about what was your first car? What was your elementary born school?

Where were you born? What street were you born on? Yeah. Or whatever. So you fill out that quiz cuz they ask you questions like that. They get those in, in that information and then you know you're screwed. Either they use it or they sell it or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. I keep telling my dad like, I'm stop. I keep telling him all the time.

I'm like, please stop doing these quizzes. Mm-hmm. , you know, oh my God. That was like pizza. His dad when he was alive. They just don't see it the same way we do. No. So it says Sophia, the mom, like the, my mom, she was supposed to be between 80 to 85. Rose was supposed to be between 55 and 62, so that's not too far off.

Dorothy was 54 to 61 and Blanche was 53 to 60. So yeah, I mean we're not too far. I'm 53 fifties. Yeah. Oh my God. Do I look like the blanche? No. No . . No. My aunt. I mean, maybe if you changed your hair. . Yeah, if we set you, we could get there. I don't know. I'm gonna find me a blanche filter and put your picture

That probably exists. I'm sure it does. And if it doesn't, somebody's about to go create one. Yeah, probably. We just gave him a brilliant idea to make millions of dollars. Ideas we did. Just up. That's right. Nice ideas. Come with chatting. We gotta get to Chitty here. Yeah, we do. Oh shit. I see. I told Chris to buy me a ticket, so.

Oh. I'll tell you where we're sitting. See wow, there's nobody behind me so you just sit with us. Okay, good. That'll be fine Eric, guys. So peace out. Do good people. Yeah, be good. Hug something like that. Do good or be better or something. Something. Give us a little whistle. Nose action. Just close up us up.

Please don't if you sit behind me and whistle your nose today, . I can't stand that shit. Just grab, grab her. Sit next to him. Grab. I'm gonna get throat punched. Milking my fingers. . I did wanna throat punch him. Wow. Yeah. On that note, that.
