  Speaker 1: Hi Amber. Hi Lola. Welcome to an unlikely affair. Hello everybody.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of unlikely affair.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Good morning, darling. Good morning. Is this the first time
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we've recorded in this room together?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It sure is. Usually it's Easton. I've only done it
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: here with Easton and myself. It's kind of fun. It's fine.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's not the same as the studio, but no,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: it's not this week. We'll take it. We'll take what
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I can get. That's for sure. Not complaining right now
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in life. By the way, before we jump into like
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: back to school and stuff, because it's the second week
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of the kids being back. Are we like, this is
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: such a dumb question because I know the answer. Are
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we feeling somewhat settled? You're funny. You're funny. You found
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a place to live. I did. I did. I found
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a place to live. Okay.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: So last night, this is hysterical. I, I was like
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Goldilocks and the three bears.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: No joke.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It was, I actually started laughing and then I started
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: getting irritated. So I started off in my bed. That's a,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: on the mattress on the floor.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the house next to me, they have floodlights. So
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: one window, the floodlight was coming through. The other window
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on the opposite side of my bedroom, the moon was shining.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And it's so beautiful. And I love the moon.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But it was like shining directly into my window.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Because you don't have any fixtures in there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: No, I don't have any blinds and curtains. And so
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I ordered curtains, but I just... somehow can't seem to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: nail down a handyman.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: So I have the best. You do?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Oh God. I'm so glad I just said something. Okay.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So I need his number ASAP.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Then I went into Riley's room where she does have
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a bed, but this is going to sound so crazy.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm terrified of the dark and there's the outside
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: floodlight on my house. It's right above this like cactus
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: looking plant and it cast a shadow on the roof
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of the bedroom. So it looks like a monster's like coming.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: And I was like, dude, this sucks. Like fuck this place.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Give me back to Montana. I'm, I was getting very upset.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And then I was like, you know what?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The couch seems like a nice place. I literally ended
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: up sleeping on the couch. You love a good couch moment.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: But I, who knew? Like who knew?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: So I, I, I, um, I'm settled, but I'm not
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: emotionally settled.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: You think that's ever going to happen for us though?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I'm settled too, but like emotionally I feel very unstable.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I was so not well last night. I didn't sleep
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: at all. Like I did not sleep at all, but
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: that's okay. I'm here with you. I get to do
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the podcast. Riley's happy. My ex is happy. Our ex
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: is happy that she's back. I'm trying to have a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: better attitude in life.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So just fucking.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Go with it for a second. Because right now I'm, I'm,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'm really missing Montana. Yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Like really miss. Actually, I'm also missing my stuff. You know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I just want my stuff. I wonder if once your
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: stuff is here, you won't miss Montana as much because
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: if you, yes, you had like a life out there,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: but it was only a life that was built over
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the past year. Now your sister lived there, which was like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Home is just where your heart is, which is like family, right?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but like my family's not, yes, Autumn's there and
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: my nephew's there and I miss them dearly. But I
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: really think that like, I have to be able to
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: find my peace here. Like peace is, this sounds so
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: dumb and so cliche, but peace starts within.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And I associated and I clung on to my.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Peace being in Montana so tightly that, And I'm like, Amber,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you have to create that same environment, which starts with
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: my morning routine. Like I don't have my journal. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: did say my prayers this morning. I'm like, I can't
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: like kneel down and say them because my mattress is
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on the floor and I'm like on account.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That's fucking weird. So I was like, all right, God,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: we're just talking to you from bed today.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And I need to like, I'm working out with my
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: trainer and that feels really, really good just to be
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: moving my body.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So like, I just need to get into my routine,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but yeah. And your trainer's hot. Thank you. When Jenna
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is gone, because she's doing a retreat, she does them
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like once or twice a year out of the country.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I will be taking this opportunity. Because
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you can't even do it via Zoom. It's like a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: retreat where from morning until night, they're doing things. Yeah,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and you guys are going to be on the opposite
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: time zone. Yes, which sometimes we make that work. We
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: did it when she was in Spain. It was weird.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Don't love it. Well, you're working out in the morning
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and she's working out at night before bed. Or like
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: she's training you. That bothers me too. I'm like, I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't like that you're up right now. It's bothering me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Your eyes should be closed. Why are you pumping weights?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm taking this opportunity to work out
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: with this hot man. Yeah. Jake is amazing. And he's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: great with kids too. Really good with kids. As in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: like a stepfather? Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We love that. Listen, every time I introduce you to someone,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I get in trouble by Lisa.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: What does she say?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Well, remember the first one that I introduced you to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and she gave me this lecture in the kitchen?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, the rapper. Yeah. She was not happy about that.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I said, Lisa, that was just a distraction. That was not,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I wasn't thinking like, yes, this could be her guy.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: This could be the stepfather to your grandchildren.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: She doesn't know how to wrap her mind around that
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: because she had a high school boyfriend who got into
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a horrendous car accident. They, she's, I think he was
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the love of her life, obviously, until she met my dad.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Horrendous car accident because his friend was drunk driving. He
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was hooked up. He had significant brain damage and was paralyzed.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So he couldn't talk, walk. That's how she lost the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: first love of her life. Then met my dad. Then
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: got married. Never lived on her own. Never had a struggle. Yes,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: she lost. her boyfriend and she also lost my dad.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I acknowledge that. But I mean like the struggles that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: you and I go through where like your heart is
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: involved and then it doesn't work out. You got to
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: have a distraction. She doesn't understand that. Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Like with the rapper, she was like, I just don't,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it was world war three in this household. I over
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: this fucking rapper created. I just don't.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: See him being the stepfather to these kids that you need.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Either do I? He's a good time. He's a good time.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He is really sweet, though. I do really admire how.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Sweet he is. I just... The whole fucking thing. Anyway, yes.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how we went on that tangent. Oh,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the guy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: The guy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The hot trainer. Michelle works out with him now, too.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I see that. She's all up in the gym working
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on that front nurse. Oh, my gosh. He killed me
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the other day. I texted him. I was like, Jake,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I can't lift heavy weights like that. You have to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: go slow. He thinks... I'm, I don't know. It's, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it's good. I'm glad.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And I need it for my mental health. So as
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: long as I stay on my routine, I continue to develop.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I need to get, buy a journal. I'm going to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: go to Target. I have to go to Costco to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: buy a stupid vacuum.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Ugh.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's just like these little things that you realize. So annoying.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: That you're like, I need. And I took for granted.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And I actually need to go out now and purchase
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: them again. Again. Like Riley, for instance.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So Riley comes home in Montana every day after school.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: She gets her dino nuggies. She gets her frozen french fries.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: She sells dino nuggets? By the way, they slap. They
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are so good. She's a creature of habit since she
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: was like three. And so she makes them.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And now I'm like, oh my God, today after school,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I panicked last night and I went on Amazon and
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I ordered like, I love, that's the other difference between
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Amazon in Montana and here is that Montana takes like
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: three or four days to get something. You could have
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: something the same day, if not the next morning from
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: like 4 a.m.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: To 8 a.m.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And I pulled out of my driveway to come over
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: here and her air fryer was here. So she's going
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to be very excited coming home from school.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's going to be crispy. Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I get very overwhelmed when I go and buy stuff
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: on Amazon because there's a thousand different options. And now
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I like contemplate which one to buy. So I think
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I just bought the same air fryer that I have
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: in Montana.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's good. Anyways, the little things. Is she liking school?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So something that's really funny, this is, she's going back.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Obviously the kids have to wear a uniform and the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: first three days she, you know, it was free dress
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: day and she wore a spaghetti.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Strap, which. Oh wait, I saw her that day. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: would have never let her wear this. I thought I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: told you she was in a tank top. Is a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: tank top different than a spaghetti strap? Well, like this,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm wearing right now, this is a tank top.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Hers was thinner than this. Right. It just like shows
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: her bra. Okay.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Well, So she wore that. And she's like, they said
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: we couldn't wear things like that. And I was like, yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you can't.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You can't.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: When I was in school and I went to public school,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you couldn't wear that kind of stuff. And she's like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: they're so sexist. And she's been using this word sexist
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: for the last probably week. So I don't know if
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: she heard this from another friend. And I'm like, why
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: are they— why are you calling them sexist? Because you can't,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: they have rules and you don't want to follow the rules.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And she's like, yeah, but the boys get to wear
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: whatever they want. And they have like their ass crack
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: is showing. And I was like, okay, so like, how
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: do I approach this as a mom? It's a little
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: double standard.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Because women are sexualized.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That's what it is. A man can walk around with
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: his full body hanging out and women can control themselves
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and be like, oh, his whole body's hanging out. Not
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the appropriate time to be looking or commenting or any
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of the above. Boys see a spaghetti strap and they
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: get a hard on and they can't even function. That's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the difference. We're mature creatures. We can't control them. So
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: we have to focus on what we can control, which
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is ourselves. I think the other thing you should point
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: out is You may have seen boys wearing that. They
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: could have said the same thing to the boys. You
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: can't dress like that. Right. They could have called, like,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sure.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: They didn't walk up to the boys and say, everyone,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I'm letting you know that Riley will not be wearing.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Spaghetti straps any longer because we did tell her she can't.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: You know, like, you don't know what the conversation was
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: on the other side. I love that she's using that word, though.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: A little feminist after my own heart.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Jeez, I was like, oh God, we're back in LA
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and she's already using words like sexist.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, fuck. Different world out here. It's a
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: different world. Maybe you belong in L.A., Riley.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: She's L.A. through and through. A hundred percent. She is.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: She is a L.A.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Girl.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: How's Ocean's first week? Ish. Half a week. Few days.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Her favorite part is riding the bus. It's her favorite part.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And I cried at orientation. I cried the first day
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of school. And the first day of school, we did
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: drop off just regular, like taking the car, whatever, because
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I wanted to take pictures. I walk her into the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: class and she's nervous. And that's not like Ocean. Ocean
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: has always been, granted, she's only five and a half,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: but like first day of pre-K when she was three,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: walked right in, didn't think another thing about it. Even
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the next year that she went back to her preschool,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: didn't think a thing about it. This is the first
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: time where she's talking to me like, I'm nervous about this.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I'm nervous about that. We walk into school, first day,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and she's like, I put her in a white button-up,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the uniform. She goes, mom. All of the girls that
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I see are in red shirts. Was I supposed to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: be in a red shirt? I didn't know that I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: was supposed to wear a red shirt. I was like, honey,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you're fine. And the teacher overheard her. She goes, you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: look great. That's a color that you can wear. We
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: can wear white. We can wear red on some days.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But she was like, you're wearing exactly what you're supposed
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to wear. And so, like, that broke my heart. Then
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: she walks in. She goes, I don't know any of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: these kids. I was like, just start going up to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the playground and making new friends.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Like, just start talking to people. Oh, my God. That
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: makes me so emotional. I know that nervous feeling when
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you start a new school. It's terrifying. What I do
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: love is that this school she's going to be at
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be a great fit for the long haul until
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: she graduates. Yes, thank God. So she's not going to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: have the newness, which I had to do like four
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: different times, like normal, you know? It was preschool. Preschool. Elementary,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: junior high, high school. And it was like, oh my gosh,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I cannot. I felt like I was going to have
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: a heart attack every single time I started a new school.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And so then I get her from the bus stop
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: first day of school. And she's just like beaming how much.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: She gets off and she goes, I love the bus.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And the bus driver said, bye, Ocean. Because she's the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: youngest one on the bus. Everyone else is like in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: middle school. Then I take her the second day. to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the bus stop to go to school. And she is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: just beaming about getting on the bus. The door is open.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: She walks up. The bus driver is like, good morning, Ocean.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: She goes, you're going to sit up here with me.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So she's in like the front row. The girl's buckling
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: her in. And all I see is they drive away.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's just the top of her. Oh, that's so cute.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I sobbed, Amber. Yeah, I would too. I don't know
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: why I'm so emotional about it, but like it has
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: fucked me up. Yeah, she's just like. The bond I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: have with that child is like something I cannot explain.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And obviously I love and adore Sosa, but I and
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I've talked about this before. It's like all of these.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: These big moments happening and I feel such like a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: trauma bond with Ocean. Where like I'm so protective because
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I had to fight so hard for her. Yeah. So
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: any big moment, it just means something. It just feels
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: different than it does. Like I'm so at peace with
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: being Sosa's mom. And I don't really feel that sense
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: of peace with being Ocean's mom. Like I feel like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm constantly... in fight mode and I don't understand that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: at all. No, I get that. I totally get the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: fight mode. Every year that rolls around and I go
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: back and I look at like all of these videos
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of how her voice used to sound, how it used
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to sound when she would call me mama and then
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: just like how it changes and you don't really notice
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the change because you see them every day. And I'm just,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I do not like change. I hate time passing. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, my child is in kindergarten. She's, she's like
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: becoming a little, she's at a real school. And I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: know that this, I'm sure moms can relate to this,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: but you just, you just want the time to like
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: just pause. I know. I see videos.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I actually can't go through videos in my phone because
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: it fucks me up.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Like if I go through old videos of the kids.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: When, we were in Hawaii or London's little voice, like
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: when she was obsessed with Justin Bieber or she used
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: to watch Doc McStuffins. And I have so many, I
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: actually have more videos of London than I do Riley,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: but it fucks me up. Like I can't, it's almost like,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, no, like you're here now. Like it's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: just a great gentle reminder that these are the moments.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And because our kids both come from separated homes, we
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: get their life cut in half.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Like that's half of the drop offs that a normal,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: you know, a family that's together, like we get half
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: of everything. And so it's, it's just a good reminder
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: just to be like, no, I don't, I don't.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Have to pick ocean up from school today.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I get to like, it just teaches you to slow
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: down and just like savor every freaking moment.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I want to be the one that picks up and
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: drops off. That has to be a part of my
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: routine because there's going to be a day where she
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: just jumps in the car and goes. Once these kids
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: turn 16 and they get their license, they're gone. Even
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: beyond that though, in LA, these kids that I see
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: just out and about at the mall, I'm like, how'd
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you get here? Where's your mom?
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: No, I know.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: They're super independent. You walk past them and they're cussing
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Why are you talking that way? I know.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I got upset with Riley because she said his ass
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: crack was showing. And I was like, please don't say that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Please don't talk like that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Like, really?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Like, now I understand. I remember my mom went through
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: my phone when I was in junior high. And she
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: saw messages. And she was laying in bed looking sad
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and depressed. And she like, I went through your phone.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And I saw language that I didn't want to see.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And I like blamed it on my friend. I was like,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I let my friend text from my phone, like complete lie.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: But it was, I think what it is, is it's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: like less about like, you can't say those words because
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: they're bad, but it's like, those are for grownups.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Which you're not. Be my baby. Because the moment you're
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: out here thrown around ass crack or the F word,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that means that we have now ventured into a new
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: stage of life and I'm not ready for it. Right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: That's exactly how I feel when Riley was like, they're sexist.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, wait, wait, like what? Like, how do I? No, no,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: you're in seventh grade.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And it's like, oh no, this is the age that
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: these thoughts and ideas. And like, I, oh, last night
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I had to tell you this. She called me and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I actually called to make sure that her, see, I still,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: this is me helicoptering from afar. I was like, is
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: your computer charged for school?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Do you have your clothes picked out? Did you brush
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: your teeth? Did you did it? And she's like, yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Which is like, probably half of it is a lie.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: But I said, okay. She's like, mom, this.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Boy reached out to me and asked like, he would,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: he wanted to get to know me better.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And like, keep it on the DL, but he thought
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I was really cute.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: And I was like, the fact that she was willing
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: to open up to me and tell me this.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And she didn't keep it from me.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yes.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Like, there are moments where I'm like, oh, she loves
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: her dad. And she is like, so about her dad
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You love that he, that she loves him. Yeah. But
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: it's like Disneyland. Who the fuck doesn't want to go
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to Disneyland? When she comes to you. I want to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: go to Disneyland. Actually, no. There's home. It's stability. She
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: talks to you about the cute things, like a boy
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: likes me. You're her mom.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I know, but I love, so I was just saying that, like,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I love that moment. that I, it was just a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: gentle reminder for me that I was like, Oh, we
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: still have that connection where she's willing to open up.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: And that's all I want. I just want my kids.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: To always be able to come to me, whether it's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: boys or friendship or whatever it is. That's like my
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: main goal. Like just keep the channel of dialogue open.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Open always and be in the ear and sometimes not
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: even give them advice about what they're.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Asking or make a comment. Just listen. Because sometimes they
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: just need to get it out. Like in that moment,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that boy had just text her and she just needed
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to tell someone.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: So it was so cute. I was so, I was like, Oh,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you know what? That's a funky age though. I remember
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: when I went through that phase of life, like 12
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to 14 and my mom, which is hard to imagine
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: because we're so close. But that little period of time,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: she was so fucking annoying to me. I was like,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: get out of my business. Don't talk to me about stuff.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I just want to be with my friends. I just
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: want to text this boy, like get out of my grill.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So they say that the biggest changes in child development
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: are from, I think, zero to three and from 11
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to 14. And I saw that the other day. There's
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: this woman that I follow on Instagram who's been like
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: a saving grace whenever I feel like I'm losing my
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: shit with Riley or one of the kids. It's like,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I have to remember, they're going through so many changes.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, we got this. We got this.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Of course you do. But like 11 to 14, I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in it. She's going to be 13 in November. Yeah,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: so like you're basically out of it almost. So she'll
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: be back in like her freshman year. Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: She'll be back her freshman year. No, her sophomore year.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I heard they get really nice again their sophomore year.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I turned into an angel. Right? I, like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: was listening again. I realized, like, my mom knows best.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: The girls that I was confiding in were actually bitches. Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm like, my mom has never told my secrets. Like,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you hoes. You hoes are talking.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: It's hard. It's a hard age. But other than that,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I think Riley is super... Excited to be back here
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: in LA going to school and she better get her
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: homework done.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: That's all I have to say. Yeah. I asked Ocean,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: do you like school? I know you love riding the bus,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: but do you like school? And she goes, it's different.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And then the second day that I picked her up,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I said, are you liking school more? And she goes, mom,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I like it like this much more already. So Riley. Okay.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: So I had a conversation with Riley and I didn't
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: tell you this last night when I talked to you
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: on the phone. I'm going to pick Riley up from
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: school today, but going forward, I'm dropping her off. She's
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: on the same bus as Ocean. So I can drop
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: her off.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But they get out at different times. I know, but
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: they wait for the upper school. Oh, they do.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: See, I wanted her to take the bus today. That's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: why Ocean basically gets dropped off at the bus stop
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: an hour later than she gets out of school. So
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: what do they do for that hour? They play? They
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: have like play times? Yeah, probably.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I wonder if I can call the school today
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and get Riley on the bus because the only reason
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: why she didn't want to take the bus home, she's like, well,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Ocean's not on the bus.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: But tomorrow we should do pickup, figure it out later.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I got to pick up at the school because my
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: baby is starting gymnastics at a real gym and she
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: is so excited. Wow. She said, do they have a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: balance beam, mom? So you're going to pick her up
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: straight from the school earlier? At the time she gets out.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Cause then I got a beat at her trial gymnastics thing.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Like my kid wants to go to the Olympics. She's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: going to go.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, if she has your personality, she's going to
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: the Olympics. She's going, we will be there front and center.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I do too. Okay. I have a question for you.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: So now that my kids are older there, I'm like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I can't do anything. That's cool.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Like I have to literally, I'll be a mile away
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: from the school. And Riley will be like, will you
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: turn down the music? I'm like, Riley, we're not even
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: at the fucking school yet. We haven't even hit the turn.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: She wants to do what? She wants to turn the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: music down.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Like, she's so embarrassed. It is the craziest. I'm like,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: we're not even close to the school.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to write in silence for another five
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: minutes in fear of you being, quote, embarrassed, by the way.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: So this question I'm going to ask you is like,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I'm already out of the woods and I don't even
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: have to worry about it, but how involved.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Do you actually want to be?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Do you see yourself being when it comes to, because
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: in kindergarten you, you can still be really involved as
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a parent.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The school that they're at right now, you have to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: be involved like weekly, like every day at the same,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: like a job that you don't get paid for, which
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is great. That's totally fine. But my schedule starts getting
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: very chaotic with just what I do for a living.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't know that I could be there every
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: single week, you know? So I'll be as involved as
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I can be. Let's sign up for like book fair
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: together or something. Something that's just a one-off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Like the book fair once a year, we have to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: show up. That's great.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: But we should do that together. That's what's really fun
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: about them being at the same school.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Is that we can do shit together. Yeah. I know.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: That would actually be hysterical. Oh, I have such a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: funny story for you. Tell me. So transportation calls me
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and they're like, Hey, just confirming the ocean's going to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: be on the bus today. And I was like, yes,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: she's like plan on her. And they go, okay. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: there's one more student, uh, Riley and she'll, she'll be
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: on the bus too. And I was like, yep, she'll
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: be on the bus. They are so confused. I was
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: so confused. Who's mom? And then I was like, I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: just confirmed that Riley's on the bus and I actually
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: have no idea what her transportation is. So I'm like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of course I'm not going to call him. So I
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: call you. I'm like, you may need to call to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: let them know. I don't know.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: They were very confused when I talked to them because
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I was calling the transportation lady and I was like, okay,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: where is Riley's bus stop? Cause I want her on
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: the same one as ocean so they could ride the
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: bus together. And, and she goes, well, actually the one
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: stop is like ridiculous. It's like an extra three grand
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: What?
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: For the year for transportation. And I was like, no,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: where's the free bus stop. And it was actually our
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: new bus stop.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: The one I'm on.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Free.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not paying an extra three grand for
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: my daughter to ride the bus.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: So when I said I need her to be on
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the same bus stop, bus as Ocean Kent and they're
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: like well who's Ocean Kent I said no Ocean is
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Riley Emmett's half sister and they're like okay so are
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you Ocean's mom I'm like no no no I'm not
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the mom I'm like no Lala's the mom and then
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: she I think I confused her even more once I
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: started explaining I'm like I think I need to drive down.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: The school and do a family tree like we need
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: a family tree.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: For our family yeah we do the co-parents are here
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Lala and Amber this guy like give or take Kids,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: always in the same mix. Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Always on the same bus. So funny.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: We should just draw a square. Bala, Amber, Riley, Ocean.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Here's the family square. That's all you need to know.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Don't you think?
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Totally.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I think so. Our square is consistent, and it's just easy.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: It's not confusing, really. But also, what I told the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: school is I'm like, But Riley's mom, who is not
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Ocean's mom because I'm Ocean's mom. Riley's mom has permission
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to get Ocean from school. Oh, good. Because I put
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: you down, too. Yeah. Oh, good. We have to. Yeah. OK, perfect.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if you heard about this.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I saw this on Instagram and it was posted and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: labeled Oreo gate. So this is a school that I'm
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: unsure of like where it's located, but it's literally a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: school group chat about Oreos. You're going to die about
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: what it says. Ooh. So one mom sent her kid
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to school with Oreos in their lunchbox. Another little girl
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: comes home crying. Okay. So this, because she didn't get
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Oreos in her lunch and they don't allow Oreos in
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: their household. So that mom calls the teacher and says,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you know, can we make note that like my child
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: comes home from school upset that kids are having Oreos.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: The mom sends them again. The little girl who doesn't
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: get Oreos cries, goes home to her mom. The mom
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: calls the teacher again and was like, we got to
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: do something about the Oreos. So the teacher sends out
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a group chat. Please do not pack Oreos in your
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: kid's lunch. So the one mom, In the group chat,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: they're discussing the Oreos. Her name's Charlotte. She goes, I mean,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I sent the Oreos. Laughing, crying face. Michelle. Oh, okay.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Would you mind maybe not sending them again? Charlotte. Why? Laughing,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: crying face. Michelle. Just because Ava was really upset about it,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and I think it would be easier if we're all consistent. Casey.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I don't really think we can control what everyone else packs, though. Michelle.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to control anyone. I'm just asking everyone
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: to be considerate. Charlotte. With respect, I'm not changing my
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: daughter's lunch because your daughter wants an Oreo.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: The one mom was like, I really don't under, like,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: we're not giving your kid.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Oreos we know that they're not allowed and she was
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: like i know but she gets upset and she's.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Like i'm not discussing oreos that is the weirdest thing
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: i would be like bitch you're crazy now i'm gonna
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: send my kid with two packs of oreos.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah and i'm gonna make her give your kid one
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: because yeah by the way it's a fucking.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Oreo you're depriving your child of an.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Oreo by the way that's so weird during uh when
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: i was in school, my parents downstairs, we had like
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: this media room and there were these drawers and the
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: front had all of this candy.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: So you could see which drawer had what in it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And then you would see like a bunch of M & Ms.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: You would open that drawer and there's like a bunch
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: of packs of M & Ms or whatever. So I
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: was like not deprived. I had a full like candy
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: bin at my house that was like, have at it
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: whenever you want. And I never really cared about it.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: My friends who didn't get candy at their house. Oh,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: we'd had nothing left when they would come. It's like,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you just like give your kid
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the option, like sure, have them. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're Oreos.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And they are delicious.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: You're not packing your kid like a bag of cocaine.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Which basically your brain doesn't know the difference, but I
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: would still be like, yeah.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Your brain doesn't know the difference between an Oreo and cocaine?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're getting a dopamine hit every time you
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: have a, like when I have something that I love,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I imagine I'm like, oh, this is what it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Would be like to do cocaine. Like that feeling of
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: just being able to be like, Wow, this is really
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: fucking good. Wow, it doesn't take much to get you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to hit the ceiling, does it? No, it doesn't. But
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that's how much I love food. Here's the difference between
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: an Oreo and cocaine. One burns holes in your brain.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: The other does not. Yeah, the other one just gives
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: you diabetes. And one of them you could dip in
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: milk and the other one you cannot. No, not at all.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But I was dead over that group chat. I'm... I'm
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: doing school lunch. And by the way, I want to
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: eat there at the school. Really? Have you seen the menu? No,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I haven't. Holy shit. I just showed up. I was like, oh,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: this is your new school. Okay, bye. What does she
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: eat for lunch? Do you pack a lunch? No, I
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. Have you ordered her lunch? I also don't know. Amber,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: what is Riley eating for lunch?
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I did ask her. Okay. Okay. I said,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: do you want to go get snacks for school? And
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: she goes, no.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: And I said, are you sure? I'll take you to
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Trader Joe's or like wherever. She likes these like fake
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: talkies or whatever.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: And then- She didn't take anything. I said, where's your
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: snack bag? Okay, well, then she got upset because I
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: wanted to buy her a lunchbox. She's like, I'm not
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: doing a lunchbox. We don't do lunchboxes anymore. I said, well,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: then what do you do? She goes, I do a
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Lululemon bag. I'm like, that means I have to go
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: to a fucking Lululemon, buy something. For $ 500. So you
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: could just take the bag. I was like, maybe we
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: can just go ask for a bag at Lululemon. And
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't have any, obviously, because I don't have any
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: of my stuff here.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: So then... I was like, well, just take something in
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: your backpack. She goes, no, I don't want to. So
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, you're literally taking no food to school.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And she goes, yeah. I go, okay, fine. Starve. They
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: get to an age, Lala, where you're just like, you
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: know what? Fuck it. They have to learn.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: It's like if they forget their gym shoes or if
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: they forget their homework. Like, I'm not fucking driving to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the school. My mom didn't do that for me.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: My mom did that. Someone did it.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: My mom didn't. I was like, you know what? She's
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: got to learn her lesson. I just can't believe that
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Riley's going to school. No food. No, there's this. She's eating.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: There's this section. They have these credit cards that you
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: put money on to. These menus, you get on and
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you pick it every day. I did like a couple
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: of weeks in advance. She's fed through this week. I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: need to do it again. They have three different options.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: An avocado, cucumber. Sushi roll. Oh, Riley loves that. Oh no,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: she doesn't do avocado. We'll just make her do it. Yeah,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: just a cucumber roll.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: They have like lo mein noodles with edamame. They have
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: blueberry lemon crisps. It sounds amazing. Grass fed beef bolognese.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: You're joking. Do you know what I had? I swear
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to God. Every day in middle school, I'll never forget.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I had a wrapped fucking chimichanga and a brownie.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: That was my lunch. That was my lunch every day. Oh,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: before there was like no nuts. Cause every school is
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: like nuts. You're not conscious.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I had PB and J for however many days out
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: of the year that we went to school. When I
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: was finished with school, I was like, I never want
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: to see a fucking PB and J ever again. But
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: now we're on the other side. I can't get enough
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: of the PB & Js. I'm so good. Oh, I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: know she did have pizza the other day.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: This is good for your control issues.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You know what she did?
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: She goes, I just asked the school if they can
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: give me a slice of pizza. And I said, well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: did they say you owe them money? She's like, no,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: but I told them that I would pay them back.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: So they probably just bill you. Because I was super
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: concerned when I did the school lunch thing. I was like,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that my child has
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: lunch tomorrow. Like, can you look on your computer and
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: see if my order came through? Well, okay. They were like,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: your kid's not going to go hungry.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of different stuff. If the order
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: didn't come through, like no one's going to like not
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: feed your kid. That's a great thing about these private schools.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You have top-notch shit happening. Also, at public schools, they
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: also do free lunches.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Even the school in Montana, the kids that needed a
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: hot breakfast in the morning, you can go early, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the state provides.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: They have to. It's by law.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: The state provides hot breakfast and stuff for kids that...
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Don't have maybe a mom and dad who can wake
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: up and make them a breakfast. But I feel like
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of kids don't eat breakfast anyways. When they're little,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: they do. But as they get older, they start not
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: wanting to eat.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you remember taking tests? They'd be like, hey,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: in the morning, you have to take those tests that
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: were for the state. Make sure you eat breakfast. It's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: going to be all day. Bring a snack. We recommend berries.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: They're good for the brain. And it was like, ugh. Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: And then you're taking the test. You're like, oh my God,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'm so hungry. My stomach is eating itself. And so
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that's when you start going, can I get the berries
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: out of my bag? Yeah. Or I'll go, just make
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: it go by faster.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I used to go A, A, A, B, B, B, C, C, C, C, A, B, A, B, A, C, C, A, B, D.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: And then I was like, done. I can eat now.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I was not a great student. Me neither. You should
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: have seen me in math. It was really hard. It
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: was really fucking hard. And don't even ask me to
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: read a book and then take a test about it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: This was me.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Why are those eyes.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Stuck to the left? If we were in school together,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: we would have been in so much trouble. Especially high
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: school because that, yeah. Oh, Oh yeah. Especially when I
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: got sexually active and could not keep my mind off
• 36:48
