Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hi Gal, Hello, you look great. I know I'm locked
out of ear. Look today, No you.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You and I were together over a weekend and one
of us your sunscreen and one of us didn't. And
this is what I do to myself. I'm a massachist,
and I will spend all this money on.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Lasers and creams, and I'm gonna get.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
A facial every for freaking five days and spend a
lot of money, even though I love my facial and
it's like and then I'll sit in the sun and
not wear sunscreen because I think to myself, oh, I
just want to get.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
A base hand. Well, here we go. It's all my fault.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't know I'm a f DC or whoever else
could come after me. I do feel like my heavy
spray tan was a good first barrier because I wouldn't
say I was killing myself with sunscreen out there.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You were you were reapplying constantly, and I was very
proud of you for that as I just watched you
do it, and then I was like, I'm just working
on my base. You got burned so fast like that
was I mean, unless time flew, but I felt like
you were burned in no time. It was not okay,
ace of base. But so this morning, I so, here's
the story behind that. Aaron knows because we spoke earlier,
(01:35):
and I was like, I'm not going to tell you
the story even though I wanted to tell her, So
I'm saving it for here. All right. It's not groundbreaking,
it's not anything crazy. It's just this is so me
to have this happen. So remember we were on the
we were oh, we had to take our license out
for something, and somebody we were with was like, that
doesn't even look like you. Yeah, because the last picture
(01:56):
I took from my license picture was when I was
working at AX. This must have been two thousand and
I don't know, sixteen maybe at this point or something.
I mean, it's been like a minute since I've had
my driver's license picture taken. Because every time you just
renew it and it's not whatever. I had almost like
brownish hair. I it was like long, I was fully
done up, like full hair and makeup, came right from
(02:18):
the studio and thought I was like, so cute. Anyways,
picture is cute picture. I mean I'm also twelve in
the picture. Fine, So today I'm like, all right, I
have until two o'clock. I was like to get some
of the errands and stuff I needed to do. I
needed to go to the DMV in California. There's this
whole new thing. You have to get a real ID,
which is different than the license. And it's like it's
(02:40):
the stuff that we put off and we don't want
to do. And I'm like, I have no excuse. It
needs to happen before May. It's the end of April. Okay, fine,
well I'm not thinking that I have to do anything
other than just go like renew this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And they're no one. Steve had to go do it,
and he never all things are going to come back.
It's Steve's fault.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's not Steve's fault. But then it turned out into
Steve's fault.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't take a shower because I'm like I have
a DMV appointment. It's like you can wait in line,
and so I was like moving up quickly in the queue,
and I was sitting on my couch. So the DMV
is fifteen minutes away, and I'm like, okay, I'm like
seven people in line away.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I jump up. Get don't even take a shower.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I throw a sweatshirt on, throw jeans on, hairs back
like this, no makeup, Get in the car, get to
the d We're.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Just like, forget it. I'm gonna I'm gonna have like
a fresh photo. Or you thought you were gonna keep
your old one.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I wasn't because Steve told me I didn't need
to take a photo. He said, okay, it was like,
just grab your passport, you don't need to.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I had to take up.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
He goes, I had to take a photo because I
was coming from Georgia, new license. Steve's fault, not Stee's fault.
But don't think I have to take a photo. So
I get in the car, go over there. Other things
I have to do with registration and other shit. Anyways,
I'm at the DMV and the guy's so nice that
he's helping me, and he's doing this and doing this
and doesn't say anything about.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The photo, gives me all the paperwork.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
As I'm walking away from the window, he goes, oh, oh, yeah,
you have to go take a picture.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, I have to. I looked at him. I go,
now I have to take a picture.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
He goes, yeah, just go over that line right there
with the camera thing and just stand in that line
to take a new photo for your license. And I
was like, do I have to? And he goes yeah,
it's for the new photo or for the new license.
And I was like, okay, so this is over here, this.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Is one inching away from the window.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And then I'm creeping towards the door and I'm like
maybe I don't Maybe I wonder if I just don't
take the photo, Like maybe then I and I'm like no,
knowing my luck, I'm gonna then have to come back
here doing something.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So I'm like, shit, do I have any makeup?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Do I have anything in the car that I can
like throw myself together?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I go back to the car.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I'm looking at the guy to see if he's like
watching me, being like, lady, you forgot to go to
the camera line.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He's onto the next like seven hundred people that are
on line. I go out to the car. I'm rummaging
through the middle console. Is there an extra you know,
bronzer in here? Is there a brush? Is there anything?
I find a clinique sample, little mascara in the bottom.
After I go through the coins, I found about three
sets of headphones to chargers that I didn't know we're
(05:07):
in there all this stuff. So I'm now I'm like, okay,
I'm flicking on the mascarat. I'm like, great, no blush.
I've gotten none of this stuff. So I'm like, well,
at least I have some semblance of color from this
burnt tan thing. I've got tattooed eyebrows and a little
tattooed lip, so we got that covered. I'm like, we
I need some blush.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, you have a lip.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So I'm taking the chapstick and I'm rubbing it on
my cheeks. Now I'm rubbing the chapstick on my cheeks
that have the little like the pink tint. So I'm like, okay,
we got that. Going out and going like this. Then
I'm like I find this. Look at the scrunchy. This
is the scrunchy that's in the car blue.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's great. So I'm like fine, but so I'm going
flipping the hair.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm doing all of this in the parking lot at
the DMV because I'm like, God, damn it, God damn it.
I would have gotten ready for this thing anyways. So
I go back in stand in line, and at this
point I'm like, now I'm like, fuck it, what does
it really matter. I'm in a tied ie sweater, I'm
about to be forty three years old, and for the
next ten years, Spaccoli's sister over here is gonna be
in the tied I sweatshirt on her license picture with
(06:02):
greasy hair and burnt face. And the guy's like, step
right up. I'm thinking he's gonna be nice and like,
let me, you know, redo the photo if it's bad.
So I step up and he's like, I go, should
I smile? And he goes, yeah, yeah, smile. So I smile,
and I go, how's it look? And he goes see
you and he goes it'll be mailed to you in
two weeks. I go, I don't get to look at it,
and he goes no, And.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Now I'm like he wanted none of you noney of.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Me, none of me, And I'm like, okay, well, you
know what, in two weeks, we'll find out, but this
is pretty much what it was. And then I thought,
maybe pulling the side tundrill down is really gonna help.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Nope, So here we are. Fuck, I cannot wait for
this picture. Oh me, me, neither. It's gonna be one
of those things.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Or I've already had a whole talk with myself on
the drive home that it's not about being vain, but like,
your license picture is the picture that is seen more
than any other picture, right, And then I was thinking, like, hey,
every time you pull it out, if someone's like, oh,
you're prettier in person, then you are a picture that
I'm like, Okay, maybe it's because you don't want to
be too pretty in the license picture because then someone's like, whoa,
(06:58):
what happened to you?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You Like, you used to look great here. So I
don't know, So.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Maybe downplaying the license picture and looking really shitty in
the license picture is the move.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know. We'll find out.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So that's what's going on with my look wears sunscreen,
drink water and please read the DMV guidelines. I mean,
who knew Steve, So this is me texting him. You
didn't tell me I had to take a picture. He's
like sorry, Like it's see's fault, Like Steve works at
the DMV, it's my fault.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
How long did this trip take you? How long were
you there? Total? I went to two different DMV's. Let's
just let's just be real about this. This is because
I went to one and then the line was there.
I didn't have what I needed, so I had to
go to the other one.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I had to get more paperwork to show three proofs
of the address. The whole this was a full This
was from nine to thirty until when I talked to you,
what at like one thirty.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The DMV is always a mission.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
But yeah, now I've got ten years of remembering this day.
So we've got that going for us, which is fine.
I helped you if you wanted to, you know, I said,
I always to you're gonna tell me I can't. I
wonder if my eyes were closed. You were't going to
give me a redo?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Did you ever see that?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Was there a big line behind you? Like he couldn't
give you like a redo, like a courtesy redo.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
But you know what I should have asked the guy
behind me, like hey, or I could have just looked
at my phone. There was a lot of other options.
At that point, I was like, you know what, or
it's my fault. I'm just gonna lean into the bad
driver's license photo and hey, maybe we'll be surprised.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And it looks great.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
It looks like effortless, like I just like showed up
and didn't care. Meanwhile, there's like tells what they make
them about right now, Like Rosie Huntington, Whitely, Wheatley, whatever,
we love her, what she got going on? Like she's
not wearing a tied I sweatshirt to the DMV. I'll
tell you what. There's no she's wearing a black T
shirt like you. She's looking sophisticated with probably a blazer
(08:43):
on over the saying really like she's probably wearing some
cool statement necklace. I'm scrounging around looking for the back
of an earring so I could put an earring. I'm
literally scrounging around in the middle of the console looking
for anything to put on sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Do you allow those? And photos?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But I got my my picture done like two days
before the world shut down, and my picture looks like
the world is shut down, Like, I'm like, it's happened here?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Did you know you had to take your picture? Though? Yeah?
I don't know what's going on that day.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I thought, okay, my effort look was cute, and turns
out it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay. Huh.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I don't know, though, really dark too real dark? Did
you did you go switch back or did you have
it down?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, it's down. It's oh you are ready and you
gave that mitch.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Out and you were like, yeah, no, it doesn't It
doesn't even look like it's parted correctly.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Did you get a redo? Did you get to see it?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't remember really what happened because then the world's
shut down and I was like, oh next, okay, I
don't get it. Yep. How about when school pictures though,
those were that and this is this brought me back
(10:06):
to like school picture day where it was like, oh
my god, you were praying that they were going.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
To be good, and then how about you get that
big eight by eight.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
X ten envelope and you pull it in the first
thing and you're like, oh no, they're terrible. And I
was always the girl that was going to picture retake
day of course, and then the retake was worse than
the first reason. I'd get I'd get like a breakout
and I'm like, I should have just kept the first ones.
And now we've got seven hundred wallets and seven hundred
five by sevens that no one wants, and it's just bad, bad.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm just not photogenic that way, neither am I.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Up until ninth grade was it ninth grade or eighth grade?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Eighth grade?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I my school pictures always had my left ear sticking
out and it was like, what's going on there? I
got my ears pinned back in eighth grade?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You know this right? Yeah? I didn't know when it
was though.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, because it always bothered me and I was like mom,
like this this, this is.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Looking weird and just want to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So here's the story of a man named Brady. My
I was born with my life here like rolled like
folded over, and then a couple of days later it
straightened out. But it straightened out a little like out,
and then I just noticed it as it would pull
my hair back as a kid because for dance and stuff,
(11:28):
and then every year for school pictures it would always.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Be like hr, I'm like, what's going on? There.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So my mom had said, if it bothers you enough,
we could get it pulled back. I wish my grandmother's
not alive, so she I'll say this now. My mom
always says, I wish your father's mother had done this
for him, because your father's my dad's early hair, you know,
and it hides it. So I guess my uncle had
his ears pulled back, and my dad wasn't offered that opportunity.
(11:53):
So I did it the worst thing I've ever done
in my life. Her wife saying, what, Oh my god,
I would never do it again if I was Wait, yah,
maybe I want just a different surgeon.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I go, I've never told you this, no I thought.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I know. All I know is that you didn't like
You don't like it because it hurts your ears when
you wear headphones. That's all I know about the fall
of this sollt by, Oh my god, it was.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It's like one of these situations Jarre and I do
you and Steve like, yeah, I think you guys joke
about this too, when people like are doing work on
your house, you're buying a house, you're trying to have
a baby.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
We've never seen this happen before. It's one of those
Oh every time it happened. Oh it happened today when
we got on here, sweet curd our producer. The riverside
just shut down and he goes, I've never seen this before.
Why am I always?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Today? I went to go get tacos.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yes, and guess what the kitchen's clothes in the restaurant
I've never been into. Because I'm just gonna swing by
and get tacos. They're doing an inspection back there. This
is after I've parked the car, I've walked, I've left
the DMV thinking to myself, I'm so hungry. I want
to get somebody to eat before I do this podcast.
Oh yeah, it's shut down. The inspections happening. I've never
walked into a then put a sign up, Why is
the door open? Here's your inspection? F okay, go.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Okay, I go. I get my ears pulled back right? Great?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
First of all, First of all, how we never talked
about this on this podcast, and we thought we had
nothing to talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's a day surgery.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You go, they do a couple slits behind your ear,
They play with the cartilage.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It pulls back great. Perfect.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Never seen this happen before I go home that day.
I'm laying I already know our red recliner we had
at our house. My mom's in our room, and it's
this summer. So I'm sitting there and I have a
bit of a headache, and I feel like I thought
I convinced myself.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I felt a little bit of blood trickle down. Shove
my finger up my bandage, pull it out.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Ain't cute.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Walk into my mom's bedroom and I go, Mom, I
don't feel good. She goes, Okay, great, let me get
you some tile and all follow her back. She thinks
I stayed in her bedroom. I follow her back into
the kitchen. She does know there, my mom said, basically.
Then she heard a ton of bricks hit the tile floor.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That was my head. I passed out. No, yes, I
got strigin' whiplash. I wake up to my Golden retriever
licking my face.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
My sister, who's three years younger, is screaming she's dead.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
She's dead. My god.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
My mom's on the phone with my dad at the
TV station, saying, like, do I call an ambulance.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
She passed out. I'm like out of it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I don't recognize my mom because I whacked my head
so friggin' hard. A commercial comes on for Bill and
Ted's Excellent Adventure, and I go.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
We just saw that. My Mom's like, yes, good anyway,
she's alive, she's good, she's back. Oh my god, I
think that's the end of the trauma. No.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, I have futures in the back of my ears
that are supposed to be disposable.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
We've never seen this before. They don't dispose. Up.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
We go on a family trip a month later to
like San Francisco or something. Actually, my dad was getting
a job interview or something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I remember being in the hotel and my mom was
really good. She would always clean my sutures and stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And we're in the hotel and my mom goes, oh god, Mac, Mac,
what what's wrong? My sutures opened up. They didn't dissolve,
so a whole thing is happening. So then my ears
aren't healing. I have to wear a.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
What what what could possibly be going on here?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Headband for the next My first couple weeks in eighth
grade at Burned Elementary, Rimstino a headband holding him.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Back to help me.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
The new ball also had a headband what's happening? Oh
my god?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Wait, I have a few questions here. So you went
to trauma.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You passed out originally because what you were losing blood
or like you just got dizzy, like what was what
was the groath?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Myself out? I upset you up here? I saw blood.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yo, So I saw blood and I was like, got
clean and then I pass out. So I get whiplash,
a head injury. Okay, So there's that. She's in the
blue tan.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, he's in the will stres sutures haven't healed and
so you can like see inside like they just that
was your mom.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Oh no, but that love real good about it. But
thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
My mom's really good at it. But she also did
the oh god. And then you know it's open and
we're putting hydrogen peroxide in there, we're cleaning it up.
We're going back to the surgeon when we get back
in town in Florida, never seeing this happen before.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
She needs to keep them pulled back, so keep a headband.
So like the hot ninth grade boys, I'm walking around
the headband headband with my tough tears.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Did you tell people what you had done?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
No? Just they were like Wow, this Aaron really loves headbands.
She loves She's got to be in every single color.
You don't have to go ahead. Did you ever have
to wear head gear? How about the poor people that
have to? Like that's when I think about those poor
people that had to wear headgear, Like there's I mean,
I was supposed to wear my retainer like you know,
(17:18):
like twelve hours or whatever, no or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It was like some obscene amount of hour. I don't know.
I'm like, and then I would wear that. I'm like, no,
not doing that. Did you ever do a thing.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Where you sixteen handles had it? I think headgear right,
mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And did you ever have a thing where, like you
weren't allowed to wear certain outfits to school because they
were like risque or like your mom or dad wouldn't approve,
and then you would change at school.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I would do that.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I was walking around with breaking open sutures and a headband.
I wasn't the risk girl, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I was trying to throw in that mid drift in
those Janko jeans, you know, yeah, trying to like go
through my skater phase of like, oh god, I'm so
hip and so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So what did you go to school, what did you
oversize overage?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Always in the bathroom, like the like the school bathroom whatever,
but like go with an oversized T shirt on and
underneath it was like the tight you know, now it
would be the Brandy Melville or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I went down a real rabbit hole last night with
a popular wag in the NHL doing her makeup for
a game day look, and she was like and now
I said it?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And I was like, what set it? Forget it? We're
setting it with if I.

I'm not even wearing sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
If I was like ready set go, I feel like, okay,
speaking of go, I feel like there's a red light here.
I'm just getting redder as the conversation goes on. Was
getting redder because you're touching it. Well you're touching what
my god? Anyways, Okay, So there was that, and uh
(19:03):

Speaker 2 (19:04):
How don't we get on that subject? Oh?

Picture day, good picture day? Yeah, because my driver's license picture.
I can't wait to see this. I'm not even gonna
be home, it's gonna be here. In two weeks and
I'm not gonna be around, so I can't wait to
not see the driver's license picture for a while. Anyways,
But how can you id? Of course, can you go
back and like wonder if you like? No, No, you can't.
Actually I know you can't because I've lost my license
(19:27):
before and then they'll just send you a new one
with the old picture. I'm gonna probably I'm never gonna
get rid.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Of this picture ever.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Kay, Well, at least you have a headband. I think
I might have helped. If that would have been in
the middle compartment, I probably would have put it on.
I would have covered on my grief. God back at
the ranch. No, literally, so over the weekend when we
(19:55):
were together, we've discovered something. Everybody I've always been Steve
a lot of credit for being a DJ. He's give
this guy an oxcord. He knows what's happening.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Daron.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Aaron and I we didn't even know that we were
both on the same like Bluetooth system, and we just
kept going back and forth, and I was very you
threw in like some old school when I went like
ratchet music real quick, because there's on Spotify, there's a
playlist you guys called two thousand Rap Bangers that are
(20:25):
so good like any song that tells you what to
do is my jam like snap a fingus do.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
See Hey, you can do it all? Bye yo, say
do you want to give like the history of what
we did? It was so good? Great? I can't.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I mean, I don't know where you're looking, but it was,
you know, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna put
the playlist up here, and Steve might have a run
for his money with what we were able to put together.
And evidence by the folks that were in the bus
with us. There was no lull whatsoever in the where
(21:01):
are you looking at?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
History? History?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
So I went to So I just went, okay to
search Spotify Search, and I scrolled down and I can
see where I start because I started with We Found
Love and then I went to bring them out that
you just do it? Because I can't find it? Oh really,
because I'm on search, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Okay, go to search. Hold on, I'm going to walk
you through it. Go to search.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
My name is I will be helping you today with
your this is mine we use in two thousand Rap Bangers.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yacht rock.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay, go to search, put put your finger in the
search bar, and then it comes up with your recent searches.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Right, yeah, yeah, what do you got scrolled down? What
did you start with? Two thousand rap bangers?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Actually I hit a little players club. We be club them.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Okay, okay, okay. Then I went rap bangers. But I
don't know, I don't know the order. I just know
there are so many songs on here.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Freak a leak by.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
We'll put together this playlist because I think the folks
at home would appreciate what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We also got Whitney Houston. Yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Tell you, which is a good one that the girls
and the guys get involved with. I did this on
a bus with Jacqueline Quick, Eni's Kopitar and Amanda Edler
a couple of weeks ago, and I did it this
weekend with some guys and some gals.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Tina Turner simply the best.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yes, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's so good. What a great song, Tina, and nice moment.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
We ended the whole evening with this with Taylor's style song,
but it was live from the Era's tour. Because it's
only two minutes and it hits the high points and
it gets you in and out and it's great.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
The best is when you get off the uh you
know respective bus that you're on it and there was
there was the other one, and that's like, oh, you
guys were having so much more fun than us. Music
is really like that is a game changer. And if
you're with people that know, because it's a lot I
say this to Steve all the time. It is a
lot of pressure to be in charge of the music
(23:14):
because then you got to make sure you have one
in the queue and you got it, like if there's
any sort of like dip and then everyone's like ah,
like bitching and complaining. Anyways, that was a new skill
set we found out. We didn't even know we had
a tandem DJ Jazzy Jeff moment so good.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Hey do you want to do some headlines? I was
just gonna say that, look at us, we're always on the.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Same wavelength, you know, I had first said okay. Teacher
shares that the one thing parents should make kids know
before kindergarten, no is not a bad word. Emily Perkins,
a kindergarten teacher in Kentucky, tells today dot Com. A
lot of people ask me all the time when they
figure out that I am a kindergarten teacher, what they
can do to prepare a kid for kindergarten. Tell them
(23:54):
no as a complete sentence. I heard a parent tell
me that they don't tell their child no because it
triggers them. If you cannot tell your child no, your
child's teacher probably can't tell them no either.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
We get it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I Wow, I'm gonna let you speak on this. You
have a child, and then I'll give my thoughts. What
are you thinking about though?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Because my child is stubborn, opinionated, independent, vocal, and we're
really starting to try to figure out how to correct behavior,
teach the right way. My kid's smart. He freaking knows
he he looks at us every day and he throws
his water sippy cup and looks at us and he's like,
I dare you. We turn Alexa off and we And
(24:35):
that's actually a good point instead of just saying no,
don't do that, Mac, return your water back to the
right place, because we're not.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Gonna throw shit. We're just not doing We're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I'm not into yeah, and you and Jared are not
parents that are going to allow bad behavior.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, we also the couch scares the crap out of me.
He's running back and forth.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
No, Mac, sit on your box and he knows he'll
look at us, stand up and then sit back down.
So today, hey, if you don't sit on your bomb,
you're off the couch. Yeah, looked at me and then
threw himself down and I grabbed him, grabbed, I say, lightly,
picked him out and placed him down and said, hey,
we're not going to be on the couch unless we're
(25:15):
sitting on our box. Well, I know what transpires there.
And then it's like, all right, how do we redirect?
But I want to make sure I'm just reinforcing and correcting.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
But it's really hard. It's hard.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I was just going to say, how many times do
you keep set? You just keep saying it over and
over again, because after a while it's like they wear
you down. You're like, fine, just jump on the couch.
I don't care, just do it, like I don't know.
I mean, you have to be consistent. I think that
that's the whole deal. Right as a parent, it's like
or whether it's a dog or whatever, it is like
consistency in terms of obedience. But man, I got to
(25:50):
give it to these kindergarten or any kind of teacher.
See and your your mom was a teacher. Teachers, I
just I can't imagine how difficult it is to do
your job.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now in general.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
And then you have, you know, you have kids that
come into your class and what you're not allowed to
tell them no? And then it's like, oh, well we
don't tell little Johnny no. Well guess what little Johnny
needs to be a member of this society here that
is the kindergarten class. So we do say no in here,
and it's I don't know, I just that would be
I have the utmost respect for teachers and any kind
(26:24):
of childcare individuals, because that is a whole nother level
of like, it's not your kid that you're disciplining, it's
somebody else's.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
And then it's like how far can you just oh
my god, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
No, the answer is no. And I think that like
you're doing your child. And I will only speak from
my vantage point, which of just having been a kid.
There's no means no, we're not doing that. And if
you don't like teach your child early on, then what
are you preparing them to go into too society and
be like maniacs. We're all surprised because little Johnny just
(26:55):
doesn't want to sit down in class. Well, guess what
Johnny needs to Sebastian man Scalco has a great, a
great bit on this at about there's like the kid
that's in his kindergarten class that's dressed up as a
lion and he's like in Rory's in the back of
the classroom and the teachers having to pay attention to Rory,
and meanwhile my kids just trying to learn the ABC's,
(27:16):
but we got a zoo back there. It's like there's
so it's so funny because it's like, come on, we're
all trying to have our kid in the class, I
mean the same thing, and you got the one torp
that's back there not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Oh AnyWho out out to the teachers exactly? Nixt all right.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I'm a flight attendant and we judge passengers who order
this sketchy beverage.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Ooh okay, dcalf coffee.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, I think we all know by now that ordering
coffee on a plane is a little bit sketchy. You're
telling me you genuinely enjoy the taste of that airplane
coffee so much that you're willing to drink it, not
out of necessity for caffeine, just for the flavor.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I get it. So there's a huge thing that like
the tanks really get.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Clean, that water is in should be the least of
your concerns. Wait, the way flight attendants have to clean
out coffee pots, java gets dumped into a toilet bringing
this okay, So basically there's a lot of like bacteria
whatever in the coffee pot.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, I don't want to know. Here's my thing with
any of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And as someone who's worked in a restaurant, I've told
you this before, Like get anybody that's worked in the
service industry or like as a bartender. Like even when
it's like we clean glasses, you clean glasses, but like
it was a bar, a college bar, you're not sanitizing
it the same way that you would in the protocols
that you should do in a fine dining establishment. Like
(28:38):
I think sometimes it's better to just not know because
if that bread or those chips fell on the floor
and you put them back in that basket, I just
I mean, I'm building I'm building up immunities. That's the
thing though in life, like kind of know where you are,
like to the point of flight tend if you're on
an airplane, you know you're not getting the like finest
cup of coffee. Their job, as we always talk about,
(28:59):
is to get us from point A to point B safely. Okay,
if we do that, everything else the bonus. I'll tell
you what, though, that wine, I know that wine comes
straight out of the bottle and there's no planning.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Involved, So I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
How about the people, though this is an I won't
pretend like I haven't done it, but like if it's
a six am flight and like, oh, order of mimosa here,
and they're like, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
We're going on vacasion, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
How about the fucking people that just go right it
like a bourbon or a whiskey and six a m
like red fing w Yeah, Like I'll take the double
bock on the rocks, and you're just like, I can't
wait to see what you order at seven o'clock. We're
six and you're going straight to the bourbon and whiskey.
(29:45):
My god, I hope you have an aisle seat because
I'm not trying to have you in the window, just
jumping over me to.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Go to the bathroom every five seconds.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Whoof judgment included in a hollow.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Helloha? All right, Well, I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Gonna go put some sunscreen on and some lotion and
hydrate my face.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I love you so much. I'll keep you guys posted
on the terrible d MV picture.

Oh my god, I can't wait. I may try to
find the head headband photo. Let's find let's.

I was wearing a dress that was like a halter

Speaker 3 (30:52):
I was so proud of being spotty, and I was
like leaning up against the wrought iron thing, like you
can go to this one.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It was like the same yen Louis or whatever it
was called, and they had like the same back. Yeah,

was in Bellevue, and it was like, you were rich
if you got to go to Yen lou and I
only got to go there for my senior pictures.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, pictures are funny.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
We were going through some of ours over the years
yesterday when we were coming back together. There's some real
memory laying photos. And the best part is that you
say shirt in your shirt, you know. But that's how
I'm gonna, like I said, for the next ten years,
I'm gonna think to myself, you knew you were going
to the DMV just as a backup. Maybe take a shower, lady.
(31:36):
So anyways, word of word to the wys out there.
If you're going to get that real idea and you
live in California, they're going to make you take a picture. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hi Gal, Hello, you look great. I know I'm locked
out of ear. Look today, No you.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You and I were together over a weekend and one
of us your sunscreen and one of us didn't. And
this is what I do to myself. I'm a massachist,
and I will spend all this money on.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Lasers and creams, and I'm gonna get.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
A facial every for freaking five days and spend a
lot of money, even though I love my facial and
it's like and then I'll sit in the sun and
not wear sunscreen because I think to myself, oh, I
just want to get.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
A base hand. Well, here we go. It's all my fault.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't know I'm a f DC or whoever else
could come after me. I do feel like my heavy
spray tan was a good first barrier because I wouldn't
say I was killing myself with sunscreen out there.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You were you were reapplying constantly, and I was very
proud of you for that as I just watched you
do it, and then I was like, I'm just working
on my base. You got burned so fast like that
was I mean, unless time flew, but I felt like
you were burned in no time. It was not okay,
ace of base. But so this morning, I so, here's
the story behind that. Aaron knows because we spoke earlier,
(01:35):
and I was like, I'm not going to tell you
the story even though I wanted to tell her, So
I'm saving it for here. All right. It's not groundbreaking,
it's not anything crazy. It's just this is so me
to have this happen. So remember we were on the
we were oh, we had to take our license out
for something, and somebody we were with was like, that
doesn't even look like you. Yeah, because the last picture
(01:56):
I took from my license picture was when I was
working at AX. This must have been two thousand and
I don't know, sixteen maybe at this point or something.
I mean, it's been like a minute since I've had
my driver's license picture taken. Because every time you just
renew it and it's not whatever. I had almost like
brownish hair. I it was like long, I was fully
done up, like full hair and makeup, came right from
(02:18):
the studio and thought I was like, so cute. Anyways,
picture is cute picture. I mean I'm also twelve in
the picture. Fine, So today I'm like, all right, I
have until two o'clock. I was like to get some
of the errands and stuff I needed to do. I
needed to go to the DMV in California. There's this
whole new thing. You have to get a real ID,
which is different than the license. And it's like it's
(02:40):
the stuff that we put off and we don't want
to do. And I'm like, I have no excuse. It
needs to happen before May. It's the end of April. Okay, fine,
well I'm not thinking that I have to do anything
other than just go like renew this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And they're no one. Steve had to go do it,
and he never all things are going to come back.
It's Steve's fault.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's not Steve's fault. But then it turned out into
Steve's fault.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I don't take a shower because I'm like I have
a DMV appointment. It's like you can wait in line,
and so I was like moving up quickly in the queue,
and I was sitting on my couch. So the DMV
is fifteen minutes away, and I'm like, okay, I'm like
seven people in line away.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I jump up. Get don't even take a shower.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I throw a sweatshirt on, throw jeans on, hairs back
like this, no makeup, Get in the car, get to
the d We're.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Just like, forget it. I'm gonna I'm gonna have like
a fresh photo. Or you thought you were gonna keep
your old one.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, I wasn't because Steve told me I didn't need
to take a photo. He said, okay, it was like,
just grab your passport, you don't need to.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I had to take up.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
He goes, I had to take a photo because I
was coming from Georgia, new license. Steve's fault, not Stee's fault.
But don't think I have to take a photo. So
I get in the car, go over there. Other things
I have to do with registration and other shit. Anyways,
I'm at the DMV and the guy's so nice that
he's helping me, and he's doing this and doing this
and doesn't say anything about.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The photo, gives me all the paperwork.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
As I'm walking away from the window, he goes, oh, oh, yeah,
you have to go take a picture.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, I have to. I looked at him. I go,
now I have to take a picture.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
He goes, yeah, just go over that line right there
with the camera thing and just stand in that line
to take a new photo for your license. And I
was like, do I have to? And he goes yeah,
it's for the new photo or for the new license.
And I was like, okay, so this is over here, this.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Is one inching away from the window.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And then I'm creeping towards the door and I'm like
maybe I don't Maybe I wonder if I just don't
take the photo, Like maybe then I and I'm like no,
knowing my luck, I'm gonna then have to come back
here doing something.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
So I'm like, shit, do I have any makeup?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Do I have anything in the car that I can
like throw myself together?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I go back to the car.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I'm looking at the guy to see if he's like
watching me, being like, lady, you forgot to go to
the camera line.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
He's onto the next like seven hundred people that are
on line. I go out to the car. I'm rummaging
through the middle console. Is there an extra you know,
bronzer in here? Is there a brush? Is there anything?
I find a clinique sample, little mascara in the bottom.
After I go through the coins, I found about three
sets of headphones to chargers that I didn't know we're
(05:07):
in there all this stuff. So I'm now I'm like, okay,
I'm flicking on the mascarat. I'm like, great, no blush.
I've gotten none of this stuff. So I'm like, well,
at least I have some semblance of color from this
burnt tan thing. I've got tattooed eyebrows and a little
tattooed lip, so we got that covered. I'm like, we
I need some blush.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, you have a lip.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So I'm taking the chapstick and I'm rubbing it on
my cheeks. Now I'm rubbing the chapstick on my cheeks
that have the little like the pink tint. So I'm like, okay,
we got that. Going out and going like this. Then
I'm like I find this. Look at the scrunchy. This
is the scrunchy that's in the car blue.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's great. So I'm like fine, but so I'm going
flipping the hair.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm doing all of this in the parking lot at
the DMV because I'm like, God, damn it, God damn it.
I would have gotten ready for this thing anyways. So
I go back in stand in line, and at this
point I'm like, now I'm like, fuck it, what does
it really matter. I'm in a tied ie sweater, I'm
about to be forty three years old, and for the
next ten years, Spaccoli's sister over here is gonna be
in the tied I sweatshirt on her license picture with
(06:02):
greasy hair and burnt face. And the guy's like, step
right up. I'm thinking he's gonna be nice and like,
let me, you know, redo the photo if it's bad.
So I step up and he's like, I go, should
I smile? And he goes, yeah, yeah, smile. So I smile,
and I go, how's it look? And he goes see
you and he goes it'll be mailed to you in
two weeks. I go, I don't get to look at it,
and he goes no, And.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Now I'm like he wanted none of you noney of.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Me, none of me, And I'm like, okay, well, you
know what, in two weeks, we'll find out, but this
is pretty much what it was. And then I thought,
maybe pulling the side tundrill down is really gonna help.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Nope, So here we are. Fuck, I cannot wait for
this picture. Oh me, me, neither. It's gonna be one
of those things.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Or I've already had a whole talk with myself on
the drive home that it's not about being vain, but like,
your license picture is the picture that is seen more
than any other picture, right, And then I was thinking, like, hey,
every time you pull it out, if someone's like, oh,
you're prettier in person, then you are a picture that
I'm like, Okay, maybe it's because you don't want to
be too pretty in the license picture because then someone's like, whoa,
(06:58):
what happened to you?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You Like, you used to look great here. So I
don't know, So.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Maybe downplaying the license picture and looking really shitty in
the license picture is the move.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't know. We'll find out.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
So that's what's going on with my look wears sunscreen,
drink water and please read the DMV guidelines. I mean,
who knew Steve, So this is me texting him. You
didn't tell me I had to take a picture. He's
like sorry, Like it's see's fault, Like Steve works at
the DMV, it's my fault.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
How long did this trip take you? How long were
you there? Total? I went to two different DMV's. Let's
just let's just be real about this. This is because
I went to one and then the line was there.
I didn't have what I needed, so I had to
go to the other one.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I had to get more paperwork to show three proofs
of the address. The whole this was a full This
was from nine to thirty until when I talked to you,
what at like one thirty.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The DMV is always a mission.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
But yeah, now I've got ten years of remembering this day.
So we've got that going for us, which is fine.
I helped you if you wanted to, you know, I said,
I always to you're gonna tell me I can't. I
wonder if my eyes were closed. You were't going to
give me a redo?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Did you ever see that?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Was there a big line behind you? Like he couldn't
give you like a redo, like a courtesy redo.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
But you know what I should have asked the guy
behind me, like hey, or I could have just looked
at my phone. There was a lot of other options.
At that point, I was like, you know what, or
it's my fault. I'm just gonna lean into the bad
driver's license photo and hey, maybe we'll be surprised.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And it looks great.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
It looks like effortless, like I just like showed up
and didn't care. Meanwhile, there's like tells what they make
them about right now, Like Rosie Huntington, Whitely, Wheatley, whatever,
we love her, what she got going on? Like she's
not wearing a tied I sweatshirt to the DMV. I'll
tell you what. There's no she's wearing a black T
shirt like you. She's looking sophisticated with probably a blazer
(08:43):
on over the saying really like she's probably wearing some
cool statement necklace. I'm scrounging around looking for the back
of an earring so I could put an earring. I'm
literally scrounging around in the middle of the console looking
for anything to put on sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Do you allow those? And photos?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But I got my my picture done like two days
before the world shut down, and my picture looks like
the world is shut down, Like, I'm like, it's happened here?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Did you know you had to take your picture? Though? Yeah?
I don't know what's going on that day.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I thought, okay, my effort look was cute, and turns
out it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay. Huh.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I don't know, though, really dark too real dark? Did
you did you go switch back or did you have
it down?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, it's down. It's oh you are ready and you
gave that mitch.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Out and you were like, yeah, no, it doesn't It
doesn't even look like it's parted correctly.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Did you get a redo? Did you get to see it?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I don't remember really what happened because then the world's
shut down and I was like, oh next, okay, I
don't get it. Yep. How about when school pictures though,
those were that and this is this brought me back
(10:06):
to like school picture day where it was like, oh
my god, you were praying that they were going.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
To be good, and then how about you get that
big eight by eight.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
X ten envelope and you pull it in the first
thing and you're like, oh no, they're terrible. And I
was always the girl that was going to picture retake
day of course, and then the retake was worse than
the first reason. I'd get I'd get like a breakout
and I'm like, I should have just kept the first ones.
And now we've got seven hundred wallets and seven hundred
five by sevens that no one wants, and it's just bad, bad.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I'm just not photogenic that way, neither am I.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Up until ninth grade was it ninth grade or eighth grade?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Eighth grade?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I my school pictures always had my left ear sticking
out and it was like, what's going on there? I
got my ears pinned back in eighth grade?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You know this right? Yeah? I didn't know when it
was though.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, because it always bothered me and I was like mom,
like this this, this is.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Looking weird and just want to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So here's the story of a man named Brady. My
I was born with my life here like rolled like
folded over, and then a couple of days later it
straightened out. But it straightened out a little like out,
and then I just noticed it as it would pull
my hair back as a kid because for dance and stuff,
(11:28):
and then every year for school pictures it would always.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Be like hr, I'm like, what's going on? There.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
So my mom had said, if it bothers you enough,
we could get it pulled back. I wish my grandmother's
not alive, so she I'll say this now. My mom
always says, I wish your father's mother had done this
for him, because your father's my dad's early hair, you know,
and it hides it. So I guess my uncle had
his ears pulled back, and my dad wasn't offered that opportunity.
(11:53):
So I did it the worst thing I've ever done
in my life. Her wife saying, what, Oh my god,
I would never do it again if I was Wait, yah,
maybe I want just a different surgeon.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I go, I've never told you this, no I thought.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I know. All I know is that you didn't like
You don't like it because it hurts your ears when
you wear headphones. That's all I know about the fall
of this sollt by, Oh my god, it was.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
It's like one of these situations Jarre and I do
you and Steve like, yeah, I think you guys joke
about this too, when people like are doing work on
your house, you're buying a house, you're trying to have
a baby.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
We've never seen this happen before. It's one of those
Oh every time it happened. Oh it happened today when
we got on here, sweet curd our producer. The riverside
just shut down and he goes, I've never seen this before.
Why am I always?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Today? I went to go get tacos.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yes, and guess what the kitchen's clothes in the restaurant
I've never been into. Because I'm just gonna swing by
and get tacos. They're doing an inspection back there. This
is after I've parked the car, I've walked, I've left
the DMV thinking to myself, I'm so hungry. I want
to get somebody to eat before I do this podcast.
Oh yeah, it's shut down. The inspections happening. I've never
walked into a then put a sign up, Why is
the door open? Here's your inspection? F okay, go.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Okay, I go. I get my ears pulled back right? Great?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
First of all, First of all, how we never talked
about this on this podcast, and we thought we had
nothing to talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's a day surgery.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
You go, they do a couple slits behind your ear,
They play with the cartilage.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It pulls back great. Perfect.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Never seen this happen before I go home that day.
I'm laying I already know our red recliner we had
at our house. My mom's in our room, and it's
this summer. So I'm sitting there and I have a
bit of a headache, and I feel like I thought
I convinced myself.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I felt a little bit of blood trickle down. Shove
my finger up my bandage, pull it out.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Ain't cute.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Walk into my mom's bedroom and I go, Mom, I
don't feel good. She goes, Okay, great, let me get
you some tile and all follow her back. She thinks
I stayed in her bedroom. I follow her back into
the kitchen. She does know there, my mom said, basically.
Then she heard a ton of bricks hit the tile floor.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That was my head. I passed out. No, yes, I
got strigin' whiplash. I wake up to my Golden retriever
licking my face.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
My sister, who's three years younger, is screaming she's dead.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
She's dead. My god.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
My mom's on the phone with my dad at the
TV station, saying, like, do I call an ambulance.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
She passed out. I'm like out of it.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I don't recognize my mom because I whacked my head
so friggin' hard. A commercial comes on for Bill and
Ted's Excellent Adventure, and I go.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
We just saw that. My Mom's like, yes, good anyway,
she's alive, she's good, she's back. Oh my god, I
think that's the end of the trauma. No.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
No, I have futures in the back of my ears
that are supposed to be disposable.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
We've never seen this before. They don't dispose. Up.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
We go on a family trip a month later to
like San Francisco or something. Actually, my dad was getting
a job interview or something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I remember being in the hotel and my mom was
really good. She would always clean my sutures and stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And we're in the hotel and my mom goes, oh god, Mac, Mac,
what what's wrong? My sutures opened up. They didn't dissolve,
so a whole thing is happening. So then my ears
aren't healing. I have to wear a.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
What what what could possibly be going on here?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Headband for the next My first couple weeks in eighth
grade at Burned Elementary, Rimstino a headband holding him.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Back to help me.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
The new ball also had a headband what's happening? Oh
my god?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Wait, I have a few questions here. So you went
to trauma.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
You passed out originally because what you were losing blood
or like you just got dizzy, like what was what
was the groath?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Myself out? I upset you up here? I saw blood.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yo, So I saw blood and I was like, got
clean and then I pass out. So I get whiplash,
a head injury. Okay, So there's that. She's in the
blue tan.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Okay, he's in the will stres sutures haven't healed and
so you can like see inside like they just that
was your mom.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Oh no, but that love real good about it. But
thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
My mom's really good at it. But she also did
the oh god. And then you know it's open and
we're putting hydrogen peroxide in there, we're cleaning it up.
We're going back to the surgeon when we get back
in town in Florida, never seeing this happen before.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
She needs to keep them pulled back, so keep a headband.
So like the hot ninth grade boys, I'm walking around
the headband headband with my tough tears.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Did you tell people what you had done?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
No? Just they were like Wow, this Aaron really loves headbands.
She loves She's got to be in every single color.
You don't have to go ahead. Did you ever have
to wear head gear? How about the poor people that
have to? Like that's when I think about those poor
people that had to wear headgear, Like there's I mean,
I was supposed to wear my retainer like you know,
(17:18):
like twelve hours or whatever, no or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
It was like some obscene amount of hour. I don't know.
I'm like, and then I would wear that. I'm like, no,
not doing that. Did you ever do a thing.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Where you sixteen handles had it? I think headgear right,
mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
And did you ever have a thing where, like you
weren't allowed to wear certain outfits to school because they
were like risque or like your mom or dad wouldn't approve,
and then you would change at school.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I would do that.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I was walking around with breaking open sutures and a headband.
I wasn't the risk girl, you know.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I was trying to throw in that mid drift in
those Janko jeans, you know, yeah, trying to like go
through my skater phase of like, oh god, I'm so
hip and so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So what did you go to school, what did you
oversize overage?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Always in the bathroom, like the like the school bathroom whatever,
but like go with an oversized T shirt on and
underneath it was like the tight you know, now it
would be the Brandy Melville or whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I went down a real rabbit hole last night with
a popular wag in the NHL doing her makeup for
a game day look, and she was like and now
I said it?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
And I was like, what set it? Forget it? We're
setting it with if I.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Get it, you know, like what set it to myself?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Crusa, Like we should know this stuff. No, the camera working,
I'm not even wearing sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
If I was like ready set go, I feel like, okay,
speaking of go, I feel like there's a red light here.
I'm just getting redder as the conversation goes on. Was
getting redder because you're touching it. Well you're touching what
my god? Anyways, Okay, So there was that, and uh
(19:03):
wait a couple other things.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
How don't we get on that subject? Oh?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Picture day, good picture day? Yeah, because my driver's license picture.
I can't wait to see this. I'm not even gonna
be home, it's gonna be here. In two weeks and
I'm not gonna be around, so I can't wait to
not see the driver's license picture for a while. Anyways,
But how can you id? Of course, can you go
back and like wonder if you like? No, No, you can't.
Actually I know you can't because I've lost my license
(19:27):
before and then they'll just send you a new one
with the old picture. I'm gonna probably I'm never gonna
get rid.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Of this picture ever.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Kay, Well, at least you have a headband. I think
I might have helped. If that would have been in
the middle compartment, I probably would have put it on.
I would have covered on my grief. God back at
the ranch. No, literally, so over the weekend when we
(19:55):
were together, we've discovered something. Everybody I've always been Steve
a lot of credit for being a DJ. He's give
this guy an oxcord. He knows what's happening.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Daron.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Aaron and I we didn't even know that we were
both on the same like Bluetooth system, and we just
kept going back and forth, and I was very you
threw in like some old school when I went like
ratchet music real quick, because there's on Spotify, there's a
playlist you guys called two thousand Rap Bangers that are
(20:25):
so good like any song that tells you what to
do is my jam like snap a fingus do.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
See Hey, you can do it all? Bye yo, say
do you want to give like the history of what
we did? It was so good? Great? I can't.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I mean, I don't know where you're looking, but it was,
you know, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna put
the playlist up here, and Steve might have a run
for his money with what we were able to put together.
And evidence by the folks that were in the bus
with us. There was no lull whatsoever in the where
(21:01):
are you looking at?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
History? History?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
So I went to So I just went, okay to
search Spotify Search, and I scrolled down and I can
see where I start because I started with We Found
Love and then I went to bring them out that
you just do it? Because I can't find it? Oh really,
because I'm on search, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Okay, go to search. Hold on, I'm going to walk
you through it. Go to search.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
My name is I will be helping you today with
your this is mine we use in two thousand Rap Bangers.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yacht rock.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay, go to search, put put your finger in the
search bar, and then it comes up with your recent searches.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Right, yeah, yeah, what do you got scrolled down? What
did you start with? Two thousand rap bangers?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Actually I hit a little players club. We be club them.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Okay, okay, okay. Then I went rap bangers. But I
don't know, I don't know the order. I just know
there are so many songs on here.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Freak a leak by.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
We'll put together this playlist because I think the folks
at home would appreciate what's going on here.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We also got Whitney Houston. Yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Tell you, which is a good one that the girls
and the guys get involved with. I did this on
a bus with Jacqueline Quick, Eni's Kopitar and Amanda Edler
a couple of weeks ago, and I did it this
weekend with some guys and some gals.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Tina Turner simply the best.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yes, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's so good. What a great song, Tina, and nice moment.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
We ended the whole evening with this with Taylor's style song,
but it was live from the Era's tour. Because it's
only two minutes and it hits the high points and
it gets you in and out and it's great.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
The best is when you get off the uh you
know respective bus that you're on it and there was
there was the other one, and that's like, oh, you
guys were having so much more fun than us. Music
is really like that is a game changer. And if
you're with people that know, because it's a lot I
say this to Steve all the time. It is a
lot of pressure to be in charge of the music
(23:14):
because then you got to make sure you have one
in the queue and you got it, like if there's
any sort of like dip and then everyone's like ah,
like bitching and complaining. Anyways, that was a new skill
set we found out. We didn't even know we had
a tandem DJ Jazzy Jeff moment so good.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Hey do you want to do some headlines? I was
just gonna say that, look at us, we're always on the.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Same wavelength, you know, I had first said okay. Teacher
shares that the one thing parents should make kids know
before kindergarten, no is not a bad word. Emily Perkins,
a kindergarten teacher in Kentucky, tells today dot Com. A
lot of people ask me all the time when they
figure out that I am a kindergarten teacher, what they
can do to prepare a kid for kindergarten. Tell them
(23:54):
no as a complete sentence. I heard a parent tell
me that they don't tell their child no because it
triggers them. If you cannot tell your child no, your
child's teacher probably can't tell them no either.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
We get it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I Wow, I'm gonna let you speak on this. You
have a child, and then I'll give my thoughts. What
are you thinking about though?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Because my child is stubborn, opinionated, independent, vocal, and we're
really starting to try to figure out how to correct behavior,
teach the right way. My kid's smart. He freaking knows
he he looks at us every day and he throws
his water sippy cup and looks at us and he's like,
I dare you. We turn Alexa off and we And
(24:35):
that's actually a good point instead of just saying no,
don't do that, Mac, return your water back to the
right place, because we're not.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Gonna throw shit. We're just not doing We're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I'm not into yeah, and you and Jared are not
parents that are going to allow bad behavior.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, we also the couch scares the crap out of me.
He's running back and forth.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
No, Mac, sit on your box and he knows he'll
look at us, stand up and then sit back down.
So today, hey, if you don't sit on your bomb,
you're off the couch. Yeah, looked at me and then
threw himself down and I grabbed him, grabbed, I say, lightly,
picked him out and placed him down and said, hey,
we're not going to be on the couch unless we're
(25:15):
sitting on our box. Well, I know what transpires there.
And then it's like, all right, how do we redirect?
But I want to make sure I'm just reinforcing and correcting.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
But it's really hard. It's hard.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I was just going to say, how many times do
you keep set? You just keep saying it over and
over again, because after a while it's like they wear
you down. You're like, fine, just jump on the couch.
I don't care, just do it, like I don't know.
I mean, you have to be consistent. I think that
that's the whole deal. Right as a parent, it's like
or whether it's a dog or whatever, it is like
consistency in terms of obedience. But man, I got to
(25:50):
give it to these kindergarten or any kind of teacher.
See and your your mom was a teacher. Teachers, I
just I can't imagine how difficult it is to do
your job.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now in general.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
And then you have, you know, you have kids that
come into your class and what you're not allowed to
tell them no? And then it's like, oh, well we
don't tell little Johnny no. Well guess what little Johnny
needs to be a member of this society here that
is the kindergarten class. So we do say no in here,
and it's I don't know, I just that would be
I have the utmost respect for teachers and any kind
(26:24):
of childcare individuals, because that is a whole nother level
of like, it's not your kid that you're disciplining, it's
somebody else's.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
And then it's like how far can you just oh
my god, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
No, the answer is no. And I think that like
you're doing your child. And I will only speak from
my vantage point, which of just having been a kid.
There's no means no, we're not doing that. And if
you don't like teach your child early on, then what
are you preparing them to go into too society and
be like maniacs. We're all surprised because little Johnny just
(26:55):
doesn't want to sit down in class. Well, guess what
Johnny needs to Sebastian man Scalco has a great, a
great bit on this at about there's like the kid
that's in his kindergarten class that's dressed up as a
lion and he's like in Rory's in the back of
the classroom and the teachers having to pay attention to Rory,
and meanwhile my kids just trying to learn the ABC's,
(27:16):
but we got a zoo back there. It's like there's
so it's so funny because it's like, come on, we're
all trying to have our kid in the class, I
mean the same thing, and you got the one torp
that's back there not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Oh AnyWho out out to the teachers exactly? Nixt all right.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I'm a flight attendant and we judge passengers who order
this sketchy beverage.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Ooh okay, dcalf coffee.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay, I think we all know by now that ordering
coffee on a plane is a little bit sketchy. You're
telling me you genuinely enjoy the taste of that airplane
coffee so much that you're willing to drink it, not
out of necessity for caffeine, just for the flavor.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I get it. So there's a huge thing that like
the tanks really get.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Clean, that water is in should be the least of
your concerns. Wait, the way flight attendants have to clean
out coffee pots, java gets dumped into a toilet bringing
this okay, So basically there's a lot of like bacteria
whatever in the coffee pot.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, I don't want to know. Here's my thing with
any of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And as someone who's worked in a restaurant, I've told
you this before, Like get anybody that's worked in the
service industry or like as a bartender. Like even when
it's like we clean glasses, you clean glasses, but like
it was a bar, a college bar, you're not sanitizing
it the same way that you would in the protocols
that you should do in a fine dining establishment. Like
(28:38):
I think sometimes it's better to just not know because
if that bread or those chips fell on the floor
and you put them back in that basket, I just
I mean, I'm building I'm building up immunities. That's the
thing though in life, like kind of know where you are,
like to the point of flight tend if you're on
an airplane, you know you're not getting the like finest
cup of coffee. Their job, as we always talk about,
(28:59):
is to get us from point A to point B safely. Okay,
if we do that, everything else the bonus. I'll tell
you what, though, that wine, I know that wine comes
straight out of the bottle and there's no planning.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Involved, So I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
How about the people, though this is an I won't
pretend like I haven't done it, but like if it's
a six am flight and like, oh, order of mimosa here,
and they're like, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
We're going on vacasion, whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
How about the fucking people that just go right it
like a bourbon or a whiskey and six a m
like red fing w Yeah, Like I'll take the double

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
