Speaker 1 (00:02):
To Teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellencamp and camera Jeedge.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hi, guys, welcome back to another episode of Two Teas
and a Pod with myself and Delores. Hey, hey, hey,
we had an agreement today.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
You sucked it up. I did. I fucked it up
so bad. I should instacart it. But you can't because
there's no level, like, there's no gener for it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I leaned into it. I almost put my Santah outfit
on from when me and Vicky did the TMZ bus. Yes,
that's that's a try hard. So I am well done.
I look at I decorated. I even got the Santa
Missus Claus boots on.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I made it nice. You made it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I made it nice, and you are in black. You're
like the opposite of Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Well, it's because I have the flu. I woke up
lagging ship and I don't have time. Hold on on,
I don't have to fix this.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Okay, okay, is this better?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Bitch?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That's better at least you. Oh my horn, my horns,
My horns are falling.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Off the horse the first time.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh God, because I got this little pee head.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
You know, I yelled up Paul for buying this and
I was it was on the pile to go to
the shelter.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He bought it for you, and you don't like it?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What is it? No? He just body. He buys things
like he's he's shops.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
He's an impulse buyer.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yes, and this is so cute. Now I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Ah see, now you look a little bit more festive.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes, I do, and I'm good. I even feel better.
You know what, whoever is in festive? I was watching
Scrooge last night, and you know, he got festive in
the end, and I'm feeling very festive right now. Okay,
lean into it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I love it. So how's everything going? You're done Christmas shopping?
Why do I think you're gonna say? No?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No, I haven't wrapped one gift. I don't know. Because
when you're sick, right and you only have a certain
amount of hours in the day, you have to wake
up very early. And I haven't been able to get
out of bed for like the last two days. So
it got me good.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh that sucks. Well, I got up with a new mindset.
I've been not consistent at the gym. I've been since
the show has been over. I've been eating more. I mean,
I'm going to the gym, but not like I normally do.
I'm eating more than I normally do, and my stomach's
been upset. And I thought, I don't like you, I know,
(02:33):
like you stop that. So I got up early. I
didn't have time to go to the actual gym, but
I have a treadmill here, so I did that. Then
I did abs, and I did arms and yeah, then
jumped from the shower and got ready and I had
a protein shake for breakfast. It's all in your head.
(02:54):
Just change that mindset. We went to the stand the
other day. It's a little takeout restaurant and we there's
a million people in the parking lot. There's a TJ
Max in the parking lot or something, and so he's like,
what is everybody doing? Why is everybody out?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There's no park?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I go it's at hollowdays. It's the holidays. Like you
have it so easy. You don't do anything. You just
show up.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Men get like that's the thing. Like I'll be got
for a couple hours and pulse like I'm straighten up,
like come back, like what's done? Paul. I run circles
around him and then he redes something. If I do it,
which drives me nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah. Now the stocking situation, we're not giant gift givers
to each other. We just usually buy whatever we want.
I mean, unless there's something fabulous I want, which doesn't
happen very often. So I think, like, the most expensive
thing I got him in the in the stocking was
like three hundred dollars. It wasn't that big of a deal.
So I told him, I said, you don't have to
worry about it. He goes, this is a trick game.
(03:56):
He goes, the stockings are small, so that means small
gifts are always more expensive. I said, not necessarily use
your imagination. Well, why don't you tell me what you want?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Cards? Why don't like a spot? Right?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Why don't you tell me what you want? I said,
because you're working for it, bitch, That's what I said.
You're working for it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Put the take the hat off, and show your horns
right now.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Because this is the thing. I'm bitter. I do everything.
I do the shopping, I wrap the presents, I put
up the Christmas tree, I make Christmas eat and dinner.
You know all that. What does he do? He shows up? Okay,
So I said, you know you're doing this all.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
By yourself, rather do it by myself.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, normally we get a couple of nice gifts for
each other or nothing at all, and it's I pick
them out, I wrap them, and I put his name
on it, from me, from you. So I said, no,
it ain't working like that, okay.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So well this year, this year, he's got to work
for it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, this year, I'm getting nothing, probably because he hasn't
even gone shopping yet.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You don't know yet, we don't know we're gonna he'll
call what Paul's getting me.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well, it's not an engagement ring, right, Yeah, you know,
I felt like I heard that if you get a
gift on a birthday or a holiday, I mean, if
you get an engaged on a birthday or a holiday,
whether you break up or not, the person keeps it.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Because it was like, oh, yes, but there is a
correction regarding the annulment. Someone had DMed me and said
you're totally wrong about the annulment. Sorry that the stuff
that I was saying about.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh really, And I would have never known.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But she didn't follow up with telling me with correcting.
And I even left my number, my phone number to
please call me. They did not. I absolutely did, Oh
my god, because I'd like to correct that. However, I
haven't heard from her still, so if there is a correction,
I will correct it. I don't like giving me Why.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Don't you just google it? Why do you need to
talk to her?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Because she had the answer, okay, well then she should
have just text DM, bollowed it with followed through with it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Today we are going to do a little special Christmas episode,
and I know, I know it's going to be. So
what are your plans for Christmas? You give me yours
and I'll give you mine.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So my plans are Christmas Eve, the whole family comes over,
fifty to sixty people. I have to have gifts for everyone,
and I ordered food from Frankie Foon Andicelli's dad, Frankie
Foon Andicelli's his names down the street and the food
is amazing, So I love that I overorder. Just thought,
(06:55):
can I stop you.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
For a seking, just a thought? If you have fifty
people coming over and you have to big gifts for everybody,
have you ever thought about just like picking names?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Well we do that for the older kids, but I
still buy for everyone.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Of course you do. That's a lot of presents.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's a lot, and I do a grab bag. I
do a giveaway at the house the kids, everybody, women, men,
They put all their their names in a hat and
then huh they pick it out and they'll get like
a gift. I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I might do that.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's really cute. You know what it is? We get
a lot of stuff, and I buy a lot of stuff,
and sometimes I don't use it. Sometimes I do. And
I mean I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon.
I'm like, I bought it. I'm not going to use it,
but I'm going to do it for a giveaway.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's smart.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Now do you do it with everyone or just like
kids or just everybody?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Ef it's their name and because then if the kids
win and they're little, they give it to their mom
for Christmas the next day.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
What if you just put like a gift card in there,
like or cat.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do all of it not cash do I'll do it
like Starbucks gift card?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Or there's one is it our multiple presents? Multiple multiple? Wow,
that's a lucky person.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I clean it out. No, each person like I do it.
I do it until almost everybody wins something.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh, so you play it multiple times.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yes, yeah, it's really cute and everyone looks forward to
it every year. I wasn't going to do it last
year and the kids came up and they're going, do do?
Are we doing the giveaway? So the give my nickname
do do?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh? So this is going to be at your house.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
My house that you see on camera that I used
to be in before I moved to your daughter is yeah,
whereat is?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh? So you during Christmas there?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah? Every holidays were always there growing up, as you know,
as a divorce mom. It made the house a home.
It was a lot of work always, but having everybody
over and it just carried through.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah. So for us, the kids are coming over with
their significant others on Christmas Eve. My mom's driving in
Chrisristmas Eve morning, will spend the night.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I want footage of your mom. Oh right, please, she's
so funny.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I'll have her send you a little video.
Speaker 1 (09:10):

Speaker 2 (09:11):
That'll be my Christmas present to you.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So we're going to do that, so, Sophia, so funny.
So you ever heard of small Wood the picture place
so small small Wood Homes or I don't know what
it's exactly, but it's it's an app and you can
upload one of your pictures from your camera and they
put it on canvas and they frame it and they
(09:38):
make them like almost life size or whatever size you want. Yes, yeah,
I have them. I have them going all the way
down my hall upstairs of just different family, each kid
and everything, and they're huge. They're huge.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Send me a picture, I will.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And so I thought, oh, how cute for me to
have one made for Sophia and then one for Nico
so they can take.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It so like a life size card.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It was this one was this one was probably about
four feet let's say four feet.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Can I get it from Can I get it made
by Christmas? No?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't think so, not in two days, sweetie. So
but they're cute gifts, right, And so I told Sophia
and she's like, no, you did not. And I go, yeah, why,
she goes, Mom, we've been dating six months. You don't
give him a life size picture of the two of us?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
No, And I go, that's a long time in this
dayting She.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Goes, that's a little much, mom. So I got her one,
which is what I liked it. Well, I have it
and I'm going to tell him what she said. And
then we'll see if he wants it, so we.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Will see take no for an answer, right.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And so I go, okay, whatever whatever. I actually took
it out of the box and hung it in the
spare bedroom. It looks cute. So the kids are coming over.
I am cooking. I'm doing Italian, I'm doing alazagna, meatballs,
I'm doing some kind of dip I can't remember. Lots
of tomatoes and cheese, that's all I can remember, and garlic,
(11:12):
bread and all that is really good. Yeah, so I
just thought something different. We don't normally eat like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh god, well I do. I had pizza last night.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And well, so we don't, so I'm going to do
that and yeah, it should be fun. And then Christmas
Day we are hopefully driving to Big Bear. Spencer goes
to his girlfriend's house and Sophia is going to her
boyfriend's house. So we're hopefully driving a big Bear. But
there's a big storm coming in and I will not
drive up the mountain road in a full Blount snort storm.
(11:46):
That's cool that yeah, so if not, we have to
probably wait till Saturday. We're going to go up, and
then Sophia and her boyfriend want to come up on
New Year's so I don't want them driving up there.
What do you like over a parent? I'm going to
drive down the mountain, pick them up, and then drive
back up the mountain.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
How long is the ride down the mountain to Well
to get.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
To the Orange County It's two hours?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh girl, I don't drive two hours for nobody.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And then two hours back. So I'm trying to figure
it out. I just don't want them driving.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I've an uber.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I don't trust an uber, like if you don't drive
those mountains like they've never I don't know. Maybe I'm
just being overprotective, but I'm just it just scares me.
There's so many crashes and so many people that go
off the hill, and.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
What kind of place are you in.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It's a one hour mountains, one hour on the freeway,
one hour on the mountain, and there's the three thirty,
and there's the thirty eight and the thirty eight is
that I'm back away it's a little bit easier, So
maybe I might have her go that way, but I
don't know. We'll figure it out, but yeah, that's what
we're doing at hard.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Don't let her drive.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's how I feel and.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I come, don't let me drive it either.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I know there is a little airport there, maybe I
can just it's it's only for private planes. It's only
for the rich people. That yeah, that's true. Yeah, I
don't know all this stuff that's going on in the
world right now.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I know, don't get suppressing.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's very sad when you think about it. I'm like,
I'm afraid to leave my house right now.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm still obsessed with the monks.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Okay, well, thank you. So once we talked about the
monks walking for peace, somehow someway, they just started popping
up on my camera, my phone, how social media, and
it's just he's popping up the episode, and of course
I had to follow follow and now I'm very very
into it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Thank you for following them. They have blisters, they're tired,
and no shoes, and the one monk lost his leg.
Some idiot hit them when they started what and the
monk lost his leg, A young like monk.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Like a car hit him. Yes, Oh my gosh, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh I'm sick over it. I thought I was hoping
it was a fake story, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's very sad, very very sad. But yes, if you
guys though, walking for Peace I think it's called but
it's really fun to watch. And they have a dog.
So some have socks on, the all have shoes on
if some have tennis shoes on.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So well, you know, although he didn't sign up for this,
so can we get him a little luh?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I know, right?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Wagon?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's a lot, he's a wagon. So this is your
first Christmas Delores as a fiance fiance? So what do
you think? Do you think you'll be married by next Christmas?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I might be. So here's my thing. I'd like to
get married just, you know, something small and have the
party after Frankie gets married.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, or New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Of next year, so that would just be a week
after Christmas. Yeah, so I have to talk to Paul
about that. He wants an engagement dinner with my family
because the kids were not there when we got engaged.
Nobody was except people at the Apple store. So I
mean he wants to do something really pretty and nice.
He's into decorating and oh what a dream.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, what's your biggest gift on your wish list?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I didn't ask for nothing. I want some things I wanted.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I thought about this, and I heard it was really
hard to get. I want the Chanel bag. It's twenty
number twenty five. I can't remember the name of it,
but it's Swayed, brown Swayed.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You're a bad girl.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I do like to spend money on purses and shoes,
some clothes, but not a lot, because I you know,
I feel like styles change all the time, unless it's
like timeless. But yes, I have bad collection. I have
lots of shoes, but I wanted the brown Swayed.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It was.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's really pretty. I'm not a traditional Chanel bag, like
the little quilted black ones with the gold chain like
traditional ones. It's just not me. I'm a little edgier.
I'm a little edgier than that.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I just got the furry wy I sell the big one.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's not the green one that Heather got, isn it.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
No, that's a Gucci and that was much nicer.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh, that one's Gucci.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Patthers is huge and that was so beautiful, gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Okay, so for me, I would mind sleep. I'd probably
passed because it's so like it'll be out of style soon,
don't you think, And you'll never use it again.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't care about style.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I honestly never. I buy mostly classic pieces. When I
buy that, never really go out of style.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, did have you watch any Christmas movies? So?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I did it last night?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
What did you watch?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So? I watched Bill Murray Scrooged and I watched Home
Loan too. So let's play a little game.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So starting drama at a group dinner?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, so this is what naughty your nice? So we
have to say, is it naughty or nice to start
drama at a group dinner?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So of course it's nice. No, not for me, for
someone else to do it, because it makes the dinner
so much better.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
It's naughty, but I'm here for it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm all here for it. Is naughty.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay. Have you ever regifted a housewife product they gave you?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
No? No, I'm very careful with that, right, that's what
you don't want to get caught doing that. That's wrong.
And I'm like, when somebody gives me something I like,
feel would feel bad to do that even if I
don't want it. And then sometimes I forget who gave
it to me, And then what if I give it
back to the person I do not trust my memory
for that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I always worry about that, like regifting something like I
get a lot of like we get a lot of
products sent to us and stuff, and I'll like give
those to people. But I always feel weird if I
get it for free and I give it to someone
as a gift, it just feels.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Like so cheap. Right, My cast gives nice gifts? Who
won your cast gives the nicest gifts?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I would say Heather gives nice gifts, and Shannon's actually
a pretty good gift giver.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, mar Well, see, everyone buys me nice gifts because
of my birthday right after twenty eight, So Margaret Jenny
and gives me nice gifts. Teresa gives me really nice gifts.
Last year she bought me a Louis Vuitton scarf. Oh nice, Yeah,
we go big here. It's Jersey who gives the worst gifts?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
The worst gifts? I don't know. I wouldn't never say
that anybody gives a horrible gift like I'm cast, because
if somebody's giving you something like, that's nice of them
to give it to you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But yeah, I've never gotten a horrible gift.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You've never gotten a horrible gift.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I remember when I first met Frank, his mom bought
me leather gloves that didn't fit. But she was nice.
She gave gifts like she had very eccentric kind of taste,
and she would give, she would give, she was so good,
she would give bad gifts.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Wow, let's see walking out of a reunion to avoid
more drama.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Never walk out, naughty, naughty especially, that's the ki kiss
of death for you. I mean, you better have a
really damn good reason and it better be justified for
walking out. And if you do walk out, you better
come back in.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Placing, playing peacemaker while secretly stirring the pot.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh that's fucking dirty, that's so bad, that's naughty, that's duplicitous,
that's sneaky.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, And the award goes to Heather Gay.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Allowed to say anything I've done. I don't want to

so it's not like you're bringing them for a backup.
I mean I brought Joe to a I brought Joe
to a party. She wasn't part of the cast, but
she was a friend of mine. And everybody's like, oh

so bad. I should instacart it. But you can't because
there's no level, like, there's no gener for it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I leaned into it. I almost put my Santah outfit
on from when me and Vicky did the TMZ bus. Yes,
that's that's a try hard. So I am well done.
I look at I decorated. I even got the Santa
Missus Claus boots on.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I made it nice. You made it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I made it nice, and you are in black. You're
like the opposite of Christmas.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Well, it's because I have the flu. I woke up
lagging ship and I don't have time. Hold on on,
I don't have to fix this.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Okay, okay, is this better?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Bitch?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That's better at least you. Oh my horn, my horns,
My horns are falling.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Off the horse the first time.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh God, because I got this little pee head.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
You know, I yelled up Paul for buying this and
I was it was on the pile to go to
the shelter.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He bought it for you, and you don't like it?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What is it? No? He just body. He buys things
like he's he's shops.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
He's an impulse buyer.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yes, and this is so cute. Now I'm excited.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Ah see, now you look a little bit more festive.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yes, I do, and I'm good. I even feel better.
You know what, whoever is in festive? I was watching
Scrooge last night, and you know, he got festive in
the end, and I'm feeling very festive right now. Okay,
lean into it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I love it. So how's everything going? You're done Christmas shopping?
Why do I think you're gonna say? No?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No, I haven't wrapped one gift. I don't know. Because
when you're sick, right and you only have a certain
amount of hours in the day, you have to wake
up very early. And I haven't been able to get
out of bed for like the last two days. So
it got me good.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh that sucks. Well, I got up with a new mindset.
I've been not consistent at the gym. I've been since
the show has been over. I've been eating more. I mean,
I'm going to the gym, but not like I normally do.
I'm eating more than I normally do, and my stomach's
been upset. And I thought, I don't like you, I know,
(02:33):
like you stop that. So I got up early. I
didn't have time to go to the actual gym, but
I have a treadmill here, so I did that. Then
I did abs, and I did arms and yeah, then
jumped from the shower and got ready and I had
a protein shake for breakfast. It's all in your head.
(02:54):
Just change that mindset. We went to the stand the
other day. It's a little takeout restaurant and we there's
a million people in the parking lot. There's a TJ
Max in the parking lot or something, and so he's like,
what is everybody doing? Why is everybody out?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
There's no park?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I go it's at hollowdays. It's the holidays. Like you
have it so easy. You don't do anything. You just
show up.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Men get like that's the thing. Like I'll be got
for a couple hours and pulse like I'm straighten up,
like come back, like what's done? Paul. I run circles
around him and then he redes something. If I do it,
which drives me nuts.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah. Now the stocking situation, we're not giant gift givers
to each other. We just usually buy whatever we want.
I mean, unless there's something fabulous I want, which doesn't
happen very often. So I think, like, the most expensive
thing I got him in the in the stocking was
like three hundred dollars. It wasn't that big of a deal.
So I told him, I said, you don't have to
worry about it. He goes, this is a trick game.
(03:56):
He goes, the stockings are small, so that means small
gifts are always more expensive. I said, not necessarily use
your imagination. Well, why don't you tell me what you want?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Cards? Why don't like a spot? Right?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Why don't you tell me what you want? I said,
because you're working for it, bitch, That's what I said.
You're working for it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Put the take the hat off, and show your horns
right now.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Because this is the thing. I'm bitter. I do everything.
I do the shopping, I wrap the presents, I put
up the Christmas tree, I make Christmas eat and dinner.
You know all that. What does he do? He shows up? Okay,
So I said, you know you're doing this all.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
By yourself, rather do it by myself.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, normally we get a couple of nice gifts for
each other or nothing at all, and it's I pick
them out, I wrap them, and I put his name
on it, from me, from you. So I said, no,
it ain't working like that, okay.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
So well this year, this year, he's got to work
for it.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, this year, I'm getting nothing, probably because he hasn't
even gone shopping yet.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You don't know yet, we don't know we're gonna he'll
call what Paul's getting me.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Well, it's not an engagement ring, right, Yeah, you know,
I felt like I heard that if you get a
gift on a birthday or a holiday, I mean, if
you get an engaged on a birthday or a holiday,
whether you break up or not, the person keeps it.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Because it was like, oh, yes, but there is a
correction regarding the annulment. Someone had DMed me and said
you're totally wrong about the annulment. Sorry that the stuff
that I was saying about.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh really, And I would have never known.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But she didn't follow up with telling me with correcting.
And I even left my number, my phone number to
please call me. They did not. I absolutely did, Oh
my god, because I'd like to correct that. However, I
haven't heard from her still, so if there is a correction,
I will correct it. I don't like giving me Why.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Don't you just google it? Why do you need to
talk to her?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Because she had the answer, okay, well then she should
have just text DM, bollowed it with followed through with it.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Today we are going to do a little special Christmas episode,
and I know, I know it's going to be. So
what are your plans for Christmas? You give me yours
and I'll give you mine.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So my plans are Christmas Eve, the whole family comes over,
fifty to sixty people. I have to have gifts for everyone,
and I ordered food from Frankie Foon Andicelli's dad, Frankie
Foon Andicelli's his names down the street and the food
is amazing, So I love that I overorder. Just thought,
(06:55):
can I stop you.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
For a seking, just a thought? If you have fifty
people coming over and you have to big gifts for everybody,
have you ever thought about just like picking names?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Well we do that for the older kids, but I
still buy for everyone.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Of course you do. That's a lot of presents.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's a lot, and I do a grab bag. I
do a giveaway at the house the kids, everybody, women, men,
They put all their their names in a hat and
then huh they pick it out and they'll get like
a gift. I love that.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I might do that.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's really cute. You know what it is? We get
a lot of stuff, and I buy a lot of stuff,
and sometimes I don't use it. Sometimes I do. And
I mean I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon.
I'm like, I bought it. I'm not going to use it,
but I'm going to do it for a giveaway.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's smart.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Now do you do it with everyone or just like
kids or just everybody?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Ef it's their name and because then if the kids
win and they're little, they give it to their mom
for Christmas the next day.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
What if you just put like a gift card in there,
like or cat.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Do all of it not cash do I'll do it
like Starbucks gift card?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Or there's one is it our multiple presents? Multiple multiple? Wow,
that's a lucky person.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I clean it out. No, each person like I do it.
I do it until almost everybody wins something.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Oh, so you play it multiple times.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yes, yeah, it's really cute and everyone looks forward to
it every year. I wasn't going to do it last
year and the kids came up and they're going, do do?
Are we doing the giveaway? So the give my nickname

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh? So this is going to be at your house.
Speaker 1 (08:30):

to be in before I moved to your daughter is yeah,
whereat is?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Oh? So you during Christmas there?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah? Every holidays were always there growing up, as you know,

Speaker 2 (08:50):

their significant others on Christmas Eve. My mom's driving in
Chrisristmas Eve morning, will spend the night.
Speaker 1 (09:02):

Speaker 2 (09:11):
That'll be my Christmas present to you.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So we're going to do that, so, Sophia, so funny.
So you ever heard of small Wood the picture place
so small small Wood Homes or I don't know what
it's exactly, but it's it's an app and you can
upload one of your pictures from your camera and they
put it on canvas and they frame it and they
(09:38):
make them like almost life size or whatever size you want. Yes, yeah,
I have them. I have them going all the way
down my hall upstairs of just different family, each kid
and everything, and they're huge. They're huge.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Send me a picture, I will.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And so I thought, oh, how cute for me to
have one made for Sophia and then one for Nico
so they can take.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It so like a life size card.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It was this one was this one was probably about
four feet let's say four feet.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Can I get it from Can I get it made
by Christmas? No?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I don't think so, not in two days, sweetie. So
but they're cute gifts, right, And so I told Sophia
and she's like, no, you did not. And I go, yeah, why,
she goes, Mom, we've been dating six months. You don't
give him a life size picture of the two of us?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
No, And I go, that's a long time in this
dayting She.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Goes, that's a little much, mom. So I got her one,
which is what I liked it. Well, I have it
and I'm going to tell him what she said. And
then we'll see if he wants it, so we.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Will see take no for an answer, right.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And so I go, okay, whatever whatever. I actually took
it out of the box and hung it in the
spare bedroom. It looks cute. So the kids are coming over.
I am cooking. I'm doing Italian, I'm doing alazagna, meatballs,
I'm doing some kind of dip I can't remember. Lots
of tomatoes and cheese, that's all I can remember, and garlic,
(11:12):
bread and all that is really good. Yeah, so I
just thought something different. We don't normally eat like that.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Oh god, well I do. I had pizza last night.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And well, so we don't, so I'm going to do
that and yeah, it should be fun. And then Christmas
Day we are hopefully driving to Big Bear. Spencer goes
to his girlfriend's house and Sophia is going to her
boyfriend's house. So we're hopefully driving a big Bear. But
there's a big storm coming in and I will not
drive up the mountain road in a full Blount snort storm.
(11:46):
That's cool that yeah, so if not, we have to
probably wait till Saturday. We're going to go up, and
then Sophia and her boyfriend want to come up on
New Year's so I don't want them driving up there.
What do you like over a parent? I'm going to
drive down the mountain, pick them up, and then drive
back up the mountain.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
How long is the ride down the mountain to Well
to get.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
To the Orange County It's two hours?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh girl, I don't drive two hours for nobody.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And then two hours back. So I'm trying to figure
it out. I just don't want them driving.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I've an uber.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I don't trust an uber, like if you don't drive
those mountains like they've never I don't know. Maybe I'm
just being overprotective, but I'm just it just scares me.
There's so many crashes and so many people that go
off the hill, and.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
What kind of place are you in.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It's a one hour mountains, one hour on the freeway,
one hour on the mountain, and there's the three thirty,
and there's the thirty eight and the thirty eight is
that I'm back away it's a little bit easier, So
maybe I might have her go that way, but I
don't know. We'll figure it out, but yeah, that's what
we're doing at hard.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Don't let her drive.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's how I feel and.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I come, don't let me drive it either.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I know there is a little airport there, maybe I
can just it's it's only for private planes. It's only
for the rich people. That yeah, that's true. Yeah, I
don't know all this stuff that's going on in the
world right now.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I know, don't get suppressing.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's very sad when you think about it. I'm like,
I'm afraid to leave my house right now.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm still obsessed with the monks.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Okay, well, thank you. So once we talked about the
monks walking for peace, somehow someway, they just started popping
up on my camera, my phone, how social media, and
it's just he's popping up the episode, and of course
I had to follow follow and now I'm very very
into it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Thank you for following them. They have blisters, they're tired,
and no shoes, and the one monk lost his leg.
Some idiot hit them when they started what and the
monk lost his leg, A young like monk.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Like a car hit him. Yes, Oh my gosh, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Oh I'm sick over it. I thought I was hoping
it was a fake story, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That's very sad, very very sad. But yes, if you
guys though, walking for Peace I think it's called but
it's really fun to watch. And they have a dog.
So some have socks on, the all have shoes on
if some have tennis shoes on.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So well, you know, although he didn't sign up for this,
so can we get him a little luh?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I know, right?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Wagon?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's a lot, he's a wagon. So this is your
first Christmas Delores as a fiance fiance? So what do
you think? Do you think you'll be married by next Christmas?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I might be. So here's my thing. I'd like to
get married just, you know, something small and have the
party after Frankie gets married.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, or New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Of next year, so that would just be a week
after Christmas. Yeah, so I have to talk to Paul
about that. He wants an engagement dinner with my family
because the kids were not there when we got engaged.
Nobody was except people at the Apple store. So I
mean he wants to do something really pretty and nice.
He's into decorating and oh what a dream.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, what's your biggest gift on your wish list?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I didn't ask for nothing. I want some things I wanted.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I thought about this, and I heard it was really
hard to get. I want the Chanel bag. It's twenty
number twenty five. I can't remember the name of it,
but it's Swayed, brown Swayed.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You're a bad girl.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I do like to spend money on purses and shoes,
some clothes, but not a lot, because I you know,
I feel like styles change all the time, unless it's
like timeless. But yes, I have bad collection. I have
lots of shoes, but I wanted the brown Swayed.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It was.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's really pretty. I'm not a traditional Chanel bag, like
the little quilted black ones with the gold chain like
traditional ones. It's just not me. I'm a little edgier.
I'm a little edgier than that.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I just got the furry wy I sell the big one.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's not the green one that Heather got, isn it.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
No, that's a Gucci and that was much nicer.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh, that one's Gucci.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Patthers is huge and that was so beautiful, gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Okay, so for me, I would mind sleep. I'd probably
passed because it's so like it'll be out of style soon,
don't you think, And you'll never use it again.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't care about style.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You don't care.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I honestly never. I buy mostly classic pieces. When I
buy that, never really go out of style.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Okay, did have you watch any Christmas movies? So?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I did it last night?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
What did you watch?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So? I watched Bill Murray Scrooged and I watched Home
Loan too. So let's play a little game.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So starting drama at a group dinner?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay, so this is what naughty your nice? So we
have to say, is it naughty or nice to start
drama at a group dinner?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So of course it's nice. No, not for me, for
someone else to do it, because it makes the dinner
so much better.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
It's naughty, but I'm here for it.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm all here for it. Is naughty.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay. Have you ever regifted a housewife product they gave you?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
No? No, I'm very careful with that, right, that's what
you don't want to get caught doing that. That's wrong.
And I'm like, when somebody gives me something I like,
feel would feel bad to do that even if I
don't want it. And then sometimes I forget who gave
it to me, And then what if I give it
back to the person I do not trust my memory
for that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I always worry about that, like regifting something like I
get a lot of like we get a lot of
products sent to us and stuff, and I'll like give
those to people. But I always feel weird if I
get it for free and I give it to someone
as a gift, it just feels.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Like so cheap. Right, My cast gives nice gifts? Who
won your cast gives the nicest gifts?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I would say Heather gives nice gifts, and Shannon's actually
a pretty good gift giver.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, mar Well, see, everyone buys me nice gifts because
of my birthday right after twenty eight, So Margaret Jenny
and gives me nice gifts. Teresa gives me really nice gifts.
Last year she bought me a Louis Vuitton scarf. Oh nice, Yeah,
we go big here. It's Jersey who gives the worst gifts?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
The worst gifts? I don't know. I wouldn't never say
that anybody gives a horrible gift like I'm cast, because
if somebody's giving you something like, that's nice of them
to give it to you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
But yeah, I've never gotten a horrible gift.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
You've never gotten a horrible gift.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I remember when I first met Frank, his mom bought
me leather gloves that didn't fit. But she was nice.
She gave gifts like she had very eccentric kind of taste,
and she would give, she would give, she was so good,
she would give bad gifts.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Wow, let's see walking out of a reunion to avoid
more drama.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Never walk out, naughty, naughty especially, that's the ki kiss
of death for you. I mean, you better have a
really damn good reason and it better be justified for
walking out. And if you do walk out, you better
come back in.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Placing, playing peacemaker while secretly stirring the pot.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
