Speaker 1 (04:36):
I talk about that all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But anyway, I was sent on a really cool assignment
aboard the USS Midway, which I embarrassed to say I
have not been on yet. It's been there for like
a dozen years or more. And on board they launched
it was a big presentation where they launched the San
Diego version of.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Monopoly.

It's San Diego Monopoly, and they had this huge press.
The mayor was there and it is really cool. I'll
tell you what's on this board.

Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You can get this at any of the places that
are on the board or on Amazon.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
So here's the board, and I'll show you which squares
are ware. So it looks like a regular Monopoly board,
but it's all San Diego stuff. Oh my gosh, it's
so fun. So it looks like that, and da da
da da. You know what makes me laugh about this?
Speaker 2 (05:40):

Diego is there free parking.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There is not.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Well, there is on the monopoly board. Well, but we
have things like wine Whiskers and Wine Bar where you
can sip wine and play with kiddy cats.

Instagram and they are adventure bucket list cards. There's fifty
cards in each pack. This one is a San Diego
pack and inside are scratch off cards. Okay, So like,
just say you want to have an adventure in La Joya.
Here's La Joya. It gives you, like the price, how
(08:37):
long it's going to take, if it's inside or outside,
when you should go YadA YadA. Then you scratch it
off and you see what fun adventure you get to do.
So you can pick a card, like if you're bored
one weekend, Hey, let's pick out an adventure out of
the card box. So here's one here. I'll just scratch
one for you just for fun. This one is the
(09:00):
prices decent, it only has one money sign. The time
is daytime, it'll take two to four hours, it's indoor,
it's relaxed, and it's year round.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, so see, let's see what it is.

Ready to go on this adventure. We are going to
admire art at the San Diego Museum of Art. Scan
this for more information, and then it says, bonus, spend
the rest of the day exploring Balboa Park, maybe the
Museum of That's where the Museum of Art is located,

Speaker 3 (10:37):
No, I didn't need to use my prists, but my
roommates me Javier and Marie went together, and there was
free drink tickets. There was food, and we did this
fun jumpy trampoline thing where they harness you into this
thing and you jump on a trampoline, but since you're
in a harness, you jump so high. Oh hi, and
(11:00):

Thank you. I was brave enough. I was.
Speaker 1 (11:08):

super fun. I won a big giant pickle playing the
carnival games and I gave it to lobbyer, I mean, Antonio,

That was really fun. And it's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They have these hearts that like this giant line of
hearts that you walk through. Santa's there. They have these
igloos that you can like chill, and there's a fire
pit and just beautiful lights. And so that's Coastal Christmas del.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Mar And how much is that? Uh?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I think it's forty bucks the person. But you get
all that and then they're skating included. Oh I think, yeah,
there's skating rink and stuff, and then Santa is there. Santa.
It was a Santa was good too. I think it
really was the real Yes, I Marie sat on his lap,
(12:02):
and then Antonio sat beside him, and the pictures are
funny because you.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Can see his face.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
He's like barely hanging on because we're both sitting on
his lap. I was trying to be as light as possible,
But I wait, I weigh a lot more that I
look like.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
How much you think I weigh?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Honestly, Honestly, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
How much you think I weigh?
Speaker 3 (12:24):

very tall. I'm five to nine.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
How much you think I weigh?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Okay, I'll say one forty nine.
Speaker 3 (12:32):

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, I just have heavy bones or something. I'm just
so then I'm actually really not or my bone. I
don't know. Something inside would be weighs a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Maybe it's all that, Maybe it's your boobs. Maybe stop it.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's so anyway, what did you do Christmas? E?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I went, yes, talk.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
About the all the cool things you could see there.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Oh my gosh, there was so much to do. It
was hacked. I'm sure, so it was insane. We probably
parked eight blocks away well, but we were lucky to
get a parking spot. It was very crowded. But the
theme this year is the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Do you know why?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yes, because Frank Elbaum did a lot of his writing
there at the Hotel Doll. So everything was really really
pretty and you know, you can walk around, you can eat,
you can there's so much to do. There's an ice
skating rink.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
There's a yellow brick road.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, there's a yellow brick road. And then.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
What else was the light show?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, there was the light show. Snow I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
The snow after the light show. I think snowfalls.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Oh okay, do you.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
See the igloos the beach igloozes? Those really cool.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Looking they're really cool. They were all packed and I
heard they're expensive.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I wanted to rent one, So aren't they something like
like I think five hundred?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But you get like you get you.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Get to do s'mores and you get snacks and yeah,
they're fully furnished inside and they're on the beach.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I mean, how cool is that?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It's really cool and they were all they were.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
All packed and then all the characters from the Wizard
of Oz they have, aren't they like I.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
See any of the characters? Oh really no, but walking around?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
No, or maybe just statues of them.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, there's a lot of the stuff, like Toto is
in like her little basket in the tree. And then
of course they have the ruby red slippers, but they're
way up at the top of these huge trees so
that nobody could grab the shoes. Yeah, but really really pretty.
It was really lovely. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
And then Claire did something fun I did.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I went to the Santa Parade in PB on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Now what kind of parade?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Is it like a normal parade or is it like
kind of crazy parade?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
There's two parts of it. First, it's actually like a
five K where everyone dresses up as Santa, So they
had like thousands of people that they all had all
these in these standard issue Santa outfits. And then after
the five K, which is when I showed up, there's
a parade and that's standard parade.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Fair Okay, do they do like a Santa bar crawl
or something after that?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Or one must assume were there were a lot of
Santa's mingling milling about, and I would imagine if at
any point during the day you would have been down
in PB there would have been a Santa's sort of
in various stages of Santanists and also soberness wandering the streets.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You know what's going on again?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Next weekend is a parade to lights, the boat parade
of lights that goes on again. And there's something cool
on the USS midway. It's called jingle Jets, so you
can go in. It's all decorated inside, and then outside
the actual fighter jets are all lit up.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh so that's super fun. So lots of cool things
to do for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Still now, before we ask advice about Eric's this has
me completely captivated. I've got to know what this is.
But I've also got to know what a vampire timeout is.
Claire apparently she just rolls in here and she goes, oh,
(16:41):
I'm on a vampire time out. I'm like, stop, don't
tell me what it is. Don't tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Can I guess?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Please?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You've you've watched so many Twilight movies over and over
again that you just can't stay on the side of
Kristen store it anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
You're approaching it. Guess kind of. I'm on a self
opposed vampire time out. It's not Twilight. It's Interview with
a Vampires. Oh do you know about this?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Is the wait? Is this a news series? It's the
rev show.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Yeah, it's not the old movie. There's a new TV show.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Is it related?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yes, it's based off the n Rice books pretty like faithfully,
it's not just like one of those things where it
has the name and I have been I've watched it
with a friend over the past like a couple of weeks,
and I'm so obsessed with it. And last night, I like,
I keep TikTok keeps serving me all this interview with
(17:37):
the vampire content and all these interview with the vampire
edits and stuff, and I got so worked up and
upset and emotional about these vampires. I gave myself a
stomach ache. I was just like vampires, these vampires are
so tragic and they's so I feel so many big
feelings about the vampires. And so today I'm not consuming
Interview with the Vampire content because I like, I got
(17:58):
too emotional.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Did you finish the series? Okay, so you can't watch anymore,
but I.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Can consume the content. I can read them, I can
read the hot takes, I can watch the edits on TikTok,
and I just am working my I just these vampires.
I can't handle it emotionally.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's the holidays. We don't generally dive into vampires during this.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I love them so much. I love them so much.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
So you need to take a little bit of a
break or you're gonna go today.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm like, not on TikTok because I open it and
it's vampire things. I'm like, I can't do this. I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Oh my god, it's too emotionally frot for me. I
had a minor panic attack.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
When I was deep diving into Timu.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I have spent so much money on this man right
here because.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I have a whole theme.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
It's the Terrible Timu Christmas, which it may.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Or may not happen.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
May it may be the Terrible tim New Year's. I
have not got one of your items.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yet, and one of your things, which is like one
of the main pieces, says it might get here like
end of December, early ten year, so we might push it.
We have to have all the product, Yeah, we have
to have everything for we have to be fair, but
let me just tell you something. I think I went
deeper and darker than you ever have. Oh, please into
(19:35):
the TU universe.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Listen, girl, Please.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
My god, you are it's not even I was at.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
A friend the other night and I was showing him
what I got her to show him to and he
was like, oh my god, I've spent.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
More money on you than I have on my children.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah. Same, you don't have it. I don't have any children.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Because I'm just so passionate about it was so fun.
So okay, now before we get to your double D news, yes,
with some shocking new information about the horrible Rob Ryaner news.
Oh what is up? What do you need help with?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay? So I need the advice of two very smart,
strong women and and our listeners just DM me or
put them in the comments here.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So I have a friend that we have been friends
for probably just under twenty years, and a couple of
years ago he moved away to another state, not across
the country, nothing like that, and I'm not going to
say where, but not far okay, but outside of California.
(20:59):
So we even when he lived here, we texted each
other all the time, we hung out all the time, even.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
No romantic just no friend, no strictly friend.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Okay, So we would text each other all the time
and talk because of our schedules, not off and but
it was mainly texting, and so I would text a
couple times a week, you know, Hey, how's it going,
how's work? You know, stuff like that. Nothing political, religious,
(21:37):
overly sexual, nothing like checking in, just checking in. So
in early September, I had I was off that day
and I sent a text and I was like, and
it wasn't like at five or six am, maybe I
don't know nine.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Honestly, was it nine or was it a little bit
before nine, between eight and nine am? Maybe around now, okay,
that's that's acceptable.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, And I I said, hey, how's it going. I
hope you're having a good day or I hope you
have a good day at work or whatever it was.
And I immediately get a text back saying can you
please not text me so much? It's really getting to
be a bit much. I hope you don't take it
the wrong way. And I was like, well, and this
(22:25):
came so idle left feel like if he text me,
I text back. If I text him, he texts back
it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Are not a prolific text?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I am not. So it's not like my My text
is wordy and goes on for paragraphs that would drive
me crazy. I would text somebody and say, please don't
do that. It's literally like a one word sentence.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But is it every day?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I can't imagine it would because you're.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Not that kind of No, I'm not. And so it
was maybe two or three times a week. It just
one sentence that was it. So I was like, oh
my god, you know wow. Okay, So I I responded back.
I thought about it for a minute and I responded
(23:13):
back and I said, hey, I'm really sorry that I
overwhelmed you. I said that was not my intention. I
was just checking in and saying hi. I said, no
hard feelings. I'll give you some space, and a little
while later thanks. It is now mid December. Have not
(23:34):
heard a word.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
So this is what I think. Either happened, like he's
reevaluated and he's like, I don't want to be friends
with people outside the state.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I just I don't think that's that's not it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Or I'm seeing somebody and they're not happy that a
guy is texting me a better.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Ah, that's a better.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's what I think might be the situation. We haven't
like unfollowed each other on social media or anything like that,
but it was really so. I was like, it's getting
to be Christmas, and we always text each other on
the holidays like Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, nothing
(24:17):
over Thanksgiving, and I'm hesitant to reach out because I've
already been instructed.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Now you're done.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
You're done with this guy for a net for I
don't know, maybe forever.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, because I see somebody else that there's like a
couple of people that said it's because he's seeing someone that.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Makes a lot of sense, and he probably is monitoring
everything he writes, and maybe he was even over his
shoulder like looking at him.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Like that, like or told him to text that because
it was just so it wasn't. It threw me because
it wasn't anything like him like it just That's what
was through me initially was I was like, God, this
doesn't even sound like him, And I thought I wonder
if somebody got a hold of his phone or something like.
(25:08):
And then I I thought, well, maybe he's seeing somebody,
And they were like, who is.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
This texting you, Okay, just say that's the case, huh.
And then he breaks up with this person and then
he comes back, Hey, Eric, you know I just wanted
to reconnect. How are you? How are you going to
respond when he comes back to you. I don't know,
because that was not okay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
See I don't think it was either. I was just
kind of like, wow, it was very abrupt, and i'd.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Have explained like, hey, by the way, I'm seeing somebody
and this person is obviously controlling.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, I don't know. There was nothing there was like,
so I was left in kind of this gray area
of like, oh, he's been friends for so long and
all these years, like our texting pattern hasn't changed, So
it's not like you know he said to me. It
was nothing like that where he's like, hey, I told
you not to text me so much, you know, and
(26:08):
I wasn't. So that's the thing that's so weird. But
I thought, Okay, he hasn't reached out to me. I don't.
I'm just respecting his wishes, so do not. Okay, So
then I won't.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You're done. It's hit.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
The ball is in his court, okay, Because you don't
want to because I'm feeling like that hurt your feelings.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh, it totally did. And you know, I'm not a
softy like, I'm not a big like oh, but that
I mean we were friends for so long and good friends,
and so I just thought that was such a weird,
rude thing to do and then be like, I hope
you don't take this the wrong way, and I was like, oh,
I supposed to take it.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, people are saying it's not okay, Eric, I'm going
through ghosting myself.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Oh sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, sorry, Yeah, he'll come back once the dude dumps
him or whatever. He'll be back trying to text, and
it's just a matter of how you're going to handle that. Yeah,
if you still want to be friends.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
With this person, what I would honestly probably say is
is there a particular reason that you.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Just like, Well, definitely you should ask that, yeah, and
get a clear answer, and everybody deserves the second chance,
but make sure he explains himself.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, but it was just so odd.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well that's not I'm sorry your feelers were hurt.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Oh it's fine, it was just you know, but yeah,
but with the holiday coming up, I was just like,
do I reach out and go hey, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Or oh my gosh, I got to tell you something.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
What.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So I had a boyfriend for five months, super cute
we had he was younger.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Oh, I know who it is we had.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
We always had a great time together. There was no
indication that anything was wrong. Oh out of the blue.
One day I even called you. I was at work
in the morning and I said, hey, so and so
hasn't texted me. And he always texted me in the morning,
good morning, and this morning nothing, and I was feeling weird,
(28:19):
and he said he's probably just overslept or he's like
chill out.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Next thing comes the text, I'm sorry, but I've been
giving this a lot of thought. I'm going to have
to let you go. I basically he fired me. Yeah,
via text message.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
So that was like a year and a half ago.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Two years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I saw him in a store.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
No wait, like.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
A week ago.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I was walking into a store and I saw him
stand line and we were about five people apart, and
he turns and I don't know if he saw me
or not, but I saw him and I was like nope,
and I turned right around. I went back to my
(29:17):
car and I drove away. And so I didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It freaked me out.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, but if he had seen me and we had
made eye contact, what would I have done?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I would have done exactly what I've done in that situation,
looked at them like they were not even there. I
just kept walking.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Knowing me, I probably would have been like, oh hi,
how are you. Nope, totally forgetting that he'd dumped me
via text message.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Have you ever been done by text message?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I've I've never been dumped. I always do the dumping.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh my god, Claria that it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm always the one that's being dumped. So I need
to look into that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
I don't suffer fools.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
M I love that phrase so true. I do not
suffer fool well.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
And also men get like way too into me, Like
these men keep like falling in love with me, and
then I have to be like.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I don't know, Maybe I need to write down some tips,
because maybe maybe you shouldst Claire. I need some Claire
vibe because my game is not.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Being played well at all.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I just I have like a very cheerful, upbeat vibe.
And my type is like engineers, Like I like like
a dirty little shy man and so then they are like,
oh my god, you've changed my life. You've made me
see the way the world could be like very like
mannic pixie dream girl type thing. And then they're like
obsessed with me, and I'm like, I don't it's not
(30:58):
it was never that serious.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
No, oh my gosh, or not just at home masturbating
twenty four hours a day, like I mean, honestly. But
here's the other thing. Did you hear on the news
about that toy company that had that Ai dog or
an AI teddy bear? But it so it was telling
(31:21):
kids how to do like BSDM, the sexual like bondage and.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
The teddy bear.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yes, and it was telling kids, don't be silly and
put a fork in the microwave. And then after you
played it like five times, it's all go ahead, put
a fork in the microwave. And they had to recall
this whole line of these bears.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Oh my god, that is okay, I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Crazy And now you're my chat GPT. Yeah, now has

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Chat GBT. Oh it's a different chat No. I'm sorry,
I'm confused.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
It's not it calls itself Ari. It is not a
human person, so we should not call it Ari. We
should call it chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
When I was when I was so, uh, Rob Reiner
owns a production company and I couldn't remember the name
of it, and so I chat gpt'd it and I said, hey,
can you tell me the name of the production company
that Rob Reiner owns?
Speaker 5 (32:56):

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Eric, Yes, it's blah blah blah. And I said, okay,
thank you. My name is Ari. And if there's anything
else you need, Eric, you just let me know. Wow.
And I was like, uh, this is so creepy, I know.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
And the creepiest thing is Kevin Costner also face times
her so to manipulate his eyes in his mouth. It's
the same he's in the He's like in a car,
the same video, but he'll blink and he'll so crazy.
It's just things have gotten out of control. Don't you
dare send him one gift card, no Apple card or.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Whatever he has coming down the pike. I will tell
you because.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Let me say, he's Kevin Costner.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
He doesn't need her mind, No, he doesn't need a thing,
so don't he's actually hit TV show and he doesn't
call anybody darling and honey and lover.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I think she just likes the attention and it's fun.
But I mean I've been telling her and telling Blue
in the face. This is a guy who's sitting in
a small little place with a laptop with a bunch
of his buddies. I forgot what they're called. This is
group of people in Nigeria. They're like the Bongo Boys
(34:12):
or something like that, and they all like do this
to people in the States. Anyway, enough of that, Yeah,
you know what, your friend, I don't maybe give him
another chance to talk to him, say you know that
hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It happens. Yeah, Ivy reaches out, but I'm not reaching out.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
But if you're going to be controlled like that by
somebody else, yeah, to give up a friend of twelve years?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Come on, Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like
that at all.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Why don't we let's get to the double D news
because this isn't a big Double D days is huge, sad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Very sad. So I just want to this isn't double
d but we it happened over the weekend too. Horrible
shootings happened. So to anybody that was affected, our hearts
go out to you. Guys. There was a horrible shooting
on Australia's Bondai Beach. It was a mass shooting. Fifteen
(35:10):
people died celebrating hanukkah. Oh my god, which is it
was just terrible. And then there was a shooting at
Brown University and two people died and eight people were injured. Yeah,
so it was just not a great weekend. It was
a very violent, awful weekend. So so last night, so
(35:31):
I'll preface this by saying I was at a film
festival in Santa Barbara and I met Rob Reiner and
he was one of the nicest people.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
That's all I've been hearing. Yeah, is how wonderful and
kind this man?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yes, he was so nice and so lovely. So I
got home last night and I it was a right
around seven o'clock maybe a little bit earlier, no, right
about six point thirty, and my phone went off and
it said, please tell me this isn't true, and it
(36:08):
said that a couple was found in a home owned
by Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, and I looked
it up, and as I was looking it up, it
said two people were found and I thought, oh gosh,
this is awful. Hope. I mean, any way you slice it,
(36:30):
it was bad. But I thought maybe they were renting
the house and there was a gas leak or something
like that. As I was reading it, another text came
through my phone that said it is They identified them
and it was Rob Reiner and his wife. Then another
text comes through, So Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle
(36:53):
Singer Reiner were found in their Brentwood home by their
daughter Romy. They had both been stabbed and their throats
were slit. So that just came out right before I
got here tonight. The suspect is their son, Nick, who
had been in rehab eighteen times and was also homeless
(37:16):
at different points in his life. He has been booked
in an LA County jail on a four million dollar bail,
which was just revoked and now he's being held without bail.
He is also on suicide watch. According to friends of
the family, the three of them, Rob, Michelle, and Nick
(37:37):
were at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party and allegedly got into
a very heated argument and Rob and his wife wound
up leaving the party. No one said if Nick left
or not. But then they were found yesterday around five
or five thirty pm.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Did they say if Nick had mental issues of.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Any kind or one of the reports said he did
suffer from mental issues, Yeah, but times rehab. Yeah, and
they were They had told friends allegedly that they've done
everything they could, They have exhausted every avenue.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
They probably put their foot down and said, you know yeah,
or you know, gave him a boundary that he didn't want.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
So for anybody that doesn't know who Rob Reiner was,
he was Meathead in the show All in the Family.
He's also had a recurring role on role on the
new show The Bear.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
He's also a very successful director. He has directed some
of my favorite movies. This is Spinal Tap, Princess Bride,
stand By Me, When Harry met Sally, directed A Few
Good Men, Misery, The Bucket List, American President. He was
eight years old, his wife Michelle was sixty eight, and
he co founded Castle Rock Entertainment. Oh wow, So it's
(39:07):
a huge production company. Very very very sad and I'm
sure more. I'll keep you guys posted on more details.
But boyle, boyle, boy was that rough to hear?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
And did you hear who else died?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Okay, well I have a couple. Okay, are you talking
about Anthony Gary?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, so he was Luke on General Hospital. He died
of a surgery complication at seventy eight in Amsterdam, So
it didn't say what.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Maybe he was having, like cosmetics.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
That's what I was wondering since it was Amsterdam. I'm
wondering if he was having something.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Well, let's not be I'll speculate, but Claire, when we
were in I think it was probably junior high school,
maybe right out of elementary school. Luke and Laura were
the biggest names. They were on a soap opera, General Hospital,
General Hospital, and they had this they were a couple
(40:06):
and like the it was the biggest soap opera on TV.
And then they had they got married and it was
the biggest thing. Like millions of people tuned in. It
was all Luke and Laura. Luke and Laura, Luke and Laura.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Oh yeah, well you couldn't gouge anywhere. They were on
T shirts. They were on posters. It wasn't crazy, it's
too bad. So this is crazy and you might know
who she is. Have you ever heard of Mary Magdalen? Okay,
so she's a she's an artist. She is an Instagram
model with thirty eight j implants. One ruptured, so she
(40:46):
had one uniboob like it was so big it sat
right in the middle of her chest. If you google it,
it's insane. And both of her boobs were spiderwebs, so
they were her. She was tattooed from from her top
of her head to the bottoms of her feet and
on her arms and boobs. Initially it was all spider
(41:07):
web so like where the spider would sit. It was
here on the nips, and then the spider web would
go over each boob. Then she had her whole body tattooed.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Black, so that must have taken forever.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
And on her Instagram it shows her getting tattooed and
it just looks. And then she had the butt implants.
So it was crazy, but art is really really cool.
I mean her face she had, her eyes were white
and then the tattooing she had it like the permanent black.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
It was.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Then she had like spider webs and stuff across her face.
It was crazy. She was in Thailand and fell out
of a ninth floor story of an apartment high rise
and died and died. Yeah so it but to see
what this girl look like and what she's put herself through.
(42:06):
And the lips were as big as the boobs, like
everything was super exaggerated, and I mean it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
So that's my biggest falling.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Oh h that. Oh No.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
On a happier note, Dick van Dyke from the Dick
Van Dyke Show, Yay one of the fun God him
and Carol Burnett. God love him.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
I love him.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
So you met him, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (42:32):
I did a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
And watch the Coldplay song that features watched the video
ah My Love It's called and it features Dick van
Dyke singing part of it with him.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
It's the most precious video you'll ever see.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Ninety nine In the.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Video, he's a hundred yes, and his word to everyone
was don't harbor resentment and anger. I love that. Yeah,
that's that's you said. It really takes a toll on you,
but yeah, happy birthday turned a hundred. Amy Schumer and
her husband Chris Fisher are done. So after seven years
(43:10):
of marriage and they have one son, she said. She
posted on Instagram and it was really funny. She's like,
you know, just because I lost all this weight and
look hot, doesn't that's not the reason that we're divorcing.
She's like, we're still best friends and we're going to
raise our son.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Okay, yeah, So this is another barn burner that happened
over the weekend. Comedian Andy Dick.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Oh yes, I briefly saw this. Give me the details.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Its insane. He was walking down the street in La
On I think it was Hollywood Boulevard. Some dude just
came up to him and he's like, hey, Andy, do
you want to smoke some crack? And Andy Dick said sure,
why not? Now these are This is coming right from
Andy Dick's mouth after they revived him with two shots
(44:00):
of narkhan. So narkan is what revives somebody that's had
an OD It.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
Took two, so I had a fentanyl in it obviously.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Oh my god. And the video of him on the street,
you think he's dead and some security guard runs over
and he's like Andy, Andy, and he's trying to get
and he's just completely out, so they revived him. The
paramedics came, they did not take him to the hospital.
Andy said he will not go to rehab. Then, as
(44:33):
of today, the report said that he checked himself in.
So he has a friend named Jennifer of twenty years
who was on celebrity rehab with him.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I remember this because I remember watching this show.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah with Doctor Drew. I think, yeah, so I think
this is her and her husband Tim that said they
got Andy a full ride scholarship offer to this rehab
center super fancy, yes, plush because of their connections to
the rehab center, meaning his stay won't be on his
(45:11):
own dime. So that is being met with a lot
of scrutiny because they were like, he's been an out
of rehab. I think more times than a baking count.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
I think he if he paid for it, it would
mean more, it.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Would like you know, that's what people are saying, is
that giving him a free ride when a he is
literally just revived from death and he's like, I'm not
going to rehab.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Rehab won't work until the person wants wants to.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
I remember I tried to go to rehab the first
time and I stopped by my drug dealer's house and
had a line of cocaine and a glass of wine
before I went to my first day of outpatient rehab.
(46:04):
So obviously I thought I get it all out of
the way. Like I thought, like, Okay, this is my
last chance.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Da da da da.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
Well, they give you a P test right when you
get there, and you're supposed to be a week sober
before you even start. So I was kicked out, but
I wasn't ready. I mean I wanted to, but then
at the same time, I'm like, I'm not quite done yet.
But then the second time, I was screaming inside for it.
(46:32):
I wanted it more than anything. So you can't help
a person unless they want the help in it. And
you've hopefully this will be his bottom.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, two things.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
A narcand he almost died. Hopefully this will be his bottom,
but I don't know. It doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Well, they said on Friday, I think it was when
this happened. They said he was completely unresponsive and somebody
came running over with narkanon.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
Well he's a lucky man.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah. So I watched a couple really good things. Two
were Christmas related. One was the new Knives Out movie
called Wake Up dead Man on Netflix and it's Daniel Craig,
Glenn Close, Kerry Washington. It's got a huge cast. It
(47:26):
was actually really good. I love the first one. I
moderately liked the second one, and then I really liked
this one. Okay, Then I watched You Can Just take
a Nap.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
During this, I just saw the words and I was like,
oh my god, I would rather. I would rather, I
would run naked up my street right now.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Then watch this, and I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
Christina Aguilera Christmas in Paris. You know I love my Songstresses.
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Oh God, I love oh Boring.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
And then the last one was the new It's on
Prime and it's the new Michelle Fifer movie Oh called
Oh What Fun? And it's Oh It's a Christmas movie, yes,
and it's super cute. It's about it. It's fun for
the whole family. It's a mom who does everything for
her family and at the holidays, you know, she makes
(48:25):
the food, she wraps all the gifts. Well everybody else
just sits around and does nothing, and her kids come
to visit and she gets the whole family tickets for this,
you know, so you think you can dance thing and
they're complaining about that. So they all go and leave
her at home and forget completely forget about her.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
And then does somebody come around and try to murder her?
And then that's my kind of movie.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
No nobody. She decides to give the middle finger to
the whole family. Oh, she deflates all of It's really cute.
And then she goes on a road trip.
Speaker 3 (49:04):
I kind of wish I was that girl that liked
the Hallmark Christmas stuff.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
No, now, don't get me started on that stupid channel
that has Christmas movies three hundred and sixty five days
a year. I just here that I can't do I pull. Oh,
and I'm totally going to rewatch the two Lindsay Lohan
ones on Netflix. Oh God, I love me some Lindsay
lohand I love her Lindsay. If you're watching, I love you.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
I'm glad she's doing well.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
I am too. She's a doll. I think that's it.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
Wow, that was a lot.
Speaker 3 (49:35):
That was a lot. By the way, if anybody wants
U sixty five inch ten year old TV that still works,
the remote works with the little iffy. It's yours. We
were going to leave it at the curb, but we
didn't want to leave it overnight because it gets a
little dewey.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Oh yeah, and then definitely you would have to change
that to say it does not work.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
I have another ten year old TV that I'm giving
away too, So if anybody wants a ten year old
not smart TV, let me know, and it's yours, along

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I did that I did. That was really impressive.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I talk about that all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But anyway, I was sent on a really cool assignment
aboard the USS Midway, which I embarrassed to say I
have not been on yet. It's been there for like
a dozen years or more. And on board they launched
it was a big presentation where they launched the San
Diego version of.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Monopoly.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's San Diego Monopoly, and they had this huge press.
The mayor was there and it is really cool. I'll
tell you what's on this board.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You can get this at any of the places that
are on the board or on Amazon.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
So here's the board, and I'll show you which squares
are ware. So it looks like a regular Monopoly board,
but it's all San Diego stuff. Oh my gosh, it's
so fun. So it looks like that, and da da
da da. You know what makes me laugh about this?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
You know what I'm gonna bet though, what all these
little pieces I'm gonna I'm gonna bet within a month

Balboa Park, Beach, Cleanup, Birch Aquarium. U see San Diego Mission, Beach,
Geppetto's toy store. I love that toy store. My kids

of snicker at, which I think is pretty funny, is
there's a big giant square free parking where in San
(06:39):
Diego is there free parking.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There is not.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Well, there is on the monopoly board. Well, but we
have things like wine Whiskers and Wine Bar where you
can sip wine and play with kiddy cats.

No, it sounds super fun and they're on the board.
So is the Broken Yolk Cafe, Fish Talk, Coronado Beach,
Belmont Park, ste World, Sunshine Power, Lions, Tigers and Bears, Sanctuary. Oh,

the Convention Center, del Maar Well watching Gas Lamp Quarter.

Instagram and they are adventure bucket list cards. There's fifty
cards in each pack. This one is a San Diego
pack and inside are scratch off cards. Okay, So like,
just say you want to have an adventure in La Joya.
Here's La Joya. It gives you, like the price, how
(08:37):
long it's going to take, if it's inside or outside,
when you should go YadA YadA. Then you scratch it
off and you see what fun adventure you get to do.
So you can pick a card, like if you're bored
one weekend, Hey, let's pick out an adventure out of
the card box. So here's one here. I'll just scratch
one for you just for fun. This one is the
(09:00):
prices decent, it only has one money sign. The time
is daytime, it'll take two to four hours, it's indoor,
it's relaxed, and it's year round.

roommates me Javier and Marie went together, and there was
free drink tickets. There was food, and we did this
fun jumpy trampoline thing where they harness you into this
thing and you jump on a trampoline, but since you're
in a harness, you jump so high. Oh hi, and

super fun. I won a big giant pickle playing the
carnival games and I gave it to lobbyer, I mean, Antonio,

That was really fun. And it's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They have these hearts that like this giant line of
hearts that you walk through. Santa's there. They have these
igloos that you can like chill, and there's a fire
pit and just beautiful lights. And so that's Coastal Christmas del.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Mar And how much is that? Uh?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I think it's forty bucks the person. But you get
all that and then they're skating included. Oh I think, yeah,
there's skating rink and stuff, and then Santa is there. Santa.
It was a Santa was good too. I think it
really was the real Yes, I Marie sat on his lap,
(12:02):
and then Antonio sat beside him, and the pictures are
funny because you.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Can see his face.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
He's like barely hanging on because we're both sitting on
his lap. I was trying to be as light as possible,
But I wait, I weigh a lot more that I
look like.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
How much you think I weigh?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Honestly, Honestly, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
How much you think I weigh?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Clear, and I won't be offended at all because you're
very tall. I'm five to nine.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
How much you think I weigh?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Okay, I'll say one forty nine.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I weigh one fifty two, okay, And I've always always
weighed a lot.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
There's no way you weigh ahead of him.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, I just have heavy bones or something. I'm just
so then I'm actually really not or my bone. I
don't know. Something inside would be weighs a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Maybe it's all that, Maybe it's your boobs. Maybe stop it.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's so anyway, what did you do Christmas? E?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I went, yes, talk.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
About the all the cool things you could see there.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Oh my gosh, there was so much to do. It
was hacked. I'm sure, so it was insane. We probably
parked eight blocks away well, but we were lucky to
get a parking spot. It was very crowded. But the
theme this year is the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Do you know why?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yes, because Frank Elbaum did a lot of his writing
there at the Hotel Doll. So everything was really really
pretty and you know, you can walk around, you can eat,
you can there's so much to do. There's an ice
skating rink.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
There's a yellow brick road.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah, there's a yellow brick road. And then.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
What else was the light show?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, there was the light show. Snow I didn't see.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
The snow after the light show. I think snowfalls.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Oh okay, do you.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
See the igloos the beach igloozes? Those really cool.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Looking they're really cool. They were all packed and I
heard they're expensive.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I wanted to rent one, So aren't they something like
like I think five hundred?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But you get like you get you.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Get to do s'mores and you get snacks and yeah,
they're fully furnished inside and they're on the beach.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I mean, how cool is that?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It's really cool and they were all they were.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
All packed and then all the characters from the Wizard
of Oz they have, aren't they like I.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
See any of the characters? Oh really no, but walking around?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
No, or maybe just statues of them.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, there's a lot of the stuff, like Toto is
in like her little basket in the tree. And then
of course they have the ruby red slippers, but they're
way up at the top of these huge trees so
that nobody could grab the shoes. Yeah, but really really pretty.
It was really lovely. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
And then Claire did something fun I did.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I went to the Santa Parade in PB on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Now what kind of parade?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Is it like a normal parade or is it like
kind of crazy parade?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
There's two parts of it. First, it's actually like a
five K where everyone dresses up as Santa, So they
had like thousands of people that they all had all
these in these standard issue Santa outfits. And then after
the five K, which is when I showed up, there's
a parade and that's standard parade.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Fair Okay, do they do like a Santa bar crawl
or something after that?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Or one must assume were there were a lot of
Santa's mingling milling about, and I would imagine if at
any point during the day you would have been down
in PB there would have been a Santa's sort of
in various stages of Santanists and also soberness wandering the streets.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
You know what's going on again?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Next weekend is a parade to lights, the boat parade
of lights that goes on again. And there's something cool
on the USS midway. It's called jingle Jets, so you
can go in. It's all decorated inside, and then outside
the actual fighter jets are all lit up.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh so that's super fun. So lots of cool things
to do for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Still now, before we ask advice about Eric's this has
me completely captivated. I've got to know what this is.
But I've also got to know what a vampire timeout is.
Claire apparently she just rolls in here and she goes, oh,
(16:41):
I'm on a vampire time out. I'm like, stop, don't
tell me what it is. Don't tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Can I guess?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Please?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You've you've watched so many Twilight movies over and over
again that you just can't stay on the side of
Kristen store it anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
You're approaching it. Guess kind of. I'm on a self
opposed vampire time out. It's not Twilight. It's Interview with
a Vampires. Oh do you know about this?
Speaker 4 (17:08):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Is the wait? Is this a news series? It's the
rev show.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Yeah, it's not the old movie. There's a new TV show.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Is it related?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yes, it's based off the n Rice books pretty like faithfully,
it's not just like one of those things where it
has the name and I have been I've watched it
with a friend over the past like a couple of weeks,
and I'm so obsessed with it. And last night, I like,
I keep TikTok keeps serving me all this interview with
(17:37):
the vampire content and all these interview with the vampire
edits and stuff, and I got so worked up and
upset and emotional about these vampires. I gave myself a
stomach ache. I was just like vampires, these vampires are
so tragic and they's so I feel so many big
feelings about the vampires. And so today I'm not consuming
Interview with the Vampire content because I like, I got
(17:58):
too emotional.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Did you finish the series? Okay, so you can't watch anymore,
but I.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Can consume the content. I can read them, I can
read the hot takes, I can watch the edits on TikTok,
and I just am working my I just these vampires.
I can't handle it emotionally.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
It's the holidays. We don't generally dive into vampires during this.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I love them so much. I love them so much.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
So you need to take a little bit of a
break or you're gonna go today.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
I'm like, not on TikTok because I open it and
it's vampire things. I'm like, I can't do this. I can't.
I can't.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Oh my god, it's too emotionally frot for me. I
had a minor panic attack.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
When I was deep diving into Timu.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I have spent so much money on this man right
here because.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I have a whole theme.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
It's the Terrible Timu Christmas, which it may.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Or may not happen.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
May it may be the Terrible tim New Year's. I
have not got one of your items.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yet, and one of your things, which is like one
of the main pieces, says it might get here like
end of December, early ten year, so we might push it.
We have to have all the product, Yeah, we have
to have everything for we have to be fair, but
let me just tell you something. I think I went
deeper and darker than you ever have. Oh, please into
(19:35):
the TU universe.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Listen, girl, Please.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
My god, you are it's not even I was at.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
A friend the other night and I was showing him
what I got her to show him to and he
was like, oh my god, I've spent.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
More money on you than I have on my children.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah. Same, you don't have it. I don't have any children.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Because I'm just so passionate about it was so fun.
So okay, now before we get to your double D news, yes,
with some shocking new information about the horrible Rob Ryaner news.
Oh what is up? What do you need help with?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay? So I need the advice of two very smart,
strong women and and our listeners just DM me or
put them in the comments here.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
So I have a friend that we have been friends
for probably just under twenty years, and a couple of
years ago he moved away to another state, not across
the country, nothing like that, and I'm not going to
say where, but not far okay, but outside of California.
(20:59):
So we even when he lived here, we texted each
other all the time, we hung out all the time, even.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
No romantic just no friend, no strictly friend.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Okay, So we would text each other all the time
and talk because of our schedules, not off and but
it was mainly texting, and so I would text a
couple times a week, you know, Hey, how's it going,
how's work? You know, stuff like that. Nothing political, religious,
(21:37):
overly sexual, nothing like checking in, just checking in. So
in early September, I had I was off that day
and I sent a text and I was like, and
it wasn't like at five or six am, maybe I
don't know nine.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Honestly, was it nine or was it a little bit
before nine, between eight and nine am? Maybe around now, okay,
that's that's acceptable.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, And I I said, hey, how's it going. I
hope you're having a good day or I hope you
have a good day at work or whatever it was.
And I immediately get a text back saying can you
please not text me so much? It's really getting to
be a bit much. I hope you don't take it
the wrong way. And I was like, well, and this
(22:25):
came so idle left feel like if he text me,
I text back. If I text him, he texts back
it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Are not a prolific text?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I am not. So it's not like my My text
is wordy and goes on for paragraphs that would drive
me crazy. I would text somebody and say, please don't
do that. It's literally like a one word sentence.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But is it every day?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I can't imagine it would because you're.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Not that kind of No, I'm not. And so it
was maybe two or three times a week. It just
one sentence that was it. So I was like, oh
my god, you know wow. Okay, So I I responded back.
I thought about it for a minute and I responded
(23:13):
back and I said, hey, I'm really sorry that I
overwhelmed you. I said that was not my intention. I
was just checking in and saying hi. I said, no
hard feelings. I'll give you some space, and a little
while later thanks. It is now mid December. Have not
(23:34):
heard a word.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
So this is what I think. Either happened, like he's
reevaluated and he's like, I don't want to be friends
with people outside the state.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I just I don't think that's that's not it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Or I'm seeing somebody and they're not happy that a
guy is texting me a better.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Ah, that's a better.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
That's what I think might be the situation. We haven't
like unfollowed each other on social media or anything like that,
but it was really so. I was like, it's getting
to be Christmas, and we always text each other on
the holidays like Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, nothing
(24:17):
over Thanksgiving, and I'm hesitant to reach out because I've
already been instructed.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Now you're done.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
You're done with this guy for a net for I
don't know, maybe forever.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, because I see somebody else that there's like a
couple of people that said it's because he's seeing someone that.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Makes a lot of sense, and he probably is monitoring
everything he writes, and maybe he was even over his
shoulder like looking at him.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Like that, like or told him to text that because
it was just so it wasn't. It threw me because
it wasn't anything like him like it just That's what
was through me initially was I was like, God, this
doesn't even sound like him, And I thought I wonder
if somebody got a hold of his phone or something like.
(25:08):
And then I I thought, well, maybe he's seeing somebody,
And they were like, who is.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
This texting you, Okay, just say that's the case, huh.
And then he breaks up with this person and then
he comes back, Hey, Eric, you know I just wanted
to reconnect. How are you? How are you going to
respond when he comes back to you. I don't know,
because that was not okay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
See I don't think it was either. I was just
kind of like, wow, it was very abrupt, and i'd.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Have explained like, hey, by the way, I'm seeing somebody
and this person is obviously controlling.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, I don't know. There was nothing there was like,
so I was left in kind of this gray area
of like, oh, he's been friends for so long and
all these years, like our texting pattern hasn't changed, So
it's not like you know he said to me. It
was nothing like that where he's like, hey, I told
you not to text me so much, you know, and
(26:08):
I wasn't. So that's the thing that's so weird. But
I thought, Okay, he hasn't reached out to me. I don't.
I'm just respecting his wishes, so do not. Okay, So
then I won't.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You're done. It's hit.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
The ball is in his court, okay, Because you don't
want to because I'm feeling like that hurt your feelings.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh, it totally did. And you know, I'm not a
softy like, I'm not a big like oh, but that
I mean we were friends for so long and good friends,
and so I just thought that was such a weird,
rude thing to do and then be like, I hope
you don't take this the wrong way, and I was like, oh,
I supposed to take it.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, people are saying it's not okay, Eric, I'm going
through ghosting myself.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Oh sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yeah, sorry, Yeah, he'll come back once the dude dumps
him or whatever. He'll be back trying to text, and
it's just a matter of how you're going to handle that. Yeah,
if you still want to be friends.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
With this person, what I would honestly probably say is
is there a particular reason that you.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Just like, Well, definitely you should ask that, yeah, and
get a clear answer, and everybody deserves the second chance,
but make sure he explains himself.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, but it was just so odd.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well that's not I'm sorry your feelers were hurt.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Oh it's fine, it was just you know, but yeah,
but with the holiday coming up, I was just like,
do I reach out and go hey, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Or oh my gosh, I got to tell you something.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
What.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So I had a boyfriend for five months, super cute
we had he was younger.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Oh, I know who it is we had.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
We always had a great time together. There was no
indication that anything was wrong. Oh out of the blue.
One day I even called you. I was at work
in the morning and I said, hey, so and so
hasn't texted me. And he always texted me in the morning,
good morning, and this morning nothing, and I was feeling weird,
(28:19):
and he said he's probably just overslept or he's like
chill out.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Next thing comes the text, I'm sorry, but I've been
giving this a lot of thought. I'm going to have
to let you go. I basically he fired me. Yeah,
via text message.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
So that was like a year and a half ago.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Two years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I saw him in a store.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
No wait, like.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
A week ago.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I was walking into a store and I saw him
stand line and we were about five people apart, and
he turns and I don't know if he saw me
or not, but I saw him and I was like nope,
and I turned right around. I went back to my
(29:17):
car and I drove away. And so I didn't.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
It freaked me out.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yeah, but if he had seen me and we had
made eye contact, what would I have done?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Nothing.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I would have done exactly what I've done in that situation,
looked at them like they were not even there. I
just kept walking.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Knowing me, I probably would have been like, oh hi,
how are you. Nope, totally forgetting that he'd dumped me
via text message.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Have you ever been done by text message?
Speaker 5 (29:55):
I've I've never been dumped. I always do the dumping.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh my god, Claria that it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm always the one that's being dumped. So I need
to look into that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
I don't suffer fools.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
M I love that phrase so true. I do not
suffer fool well.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
And also men get like way too into me, Like
these men keep like falling in love with me, and
then I have to be like.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
I don't know, Maybe I need to write down some tips,
because maybe maybe you shouldst Claire. I need some Claire
vibe because my game is not.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Being played well at all.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I just I have like a very cheerful, upbeat vibe.
And my type is like engineers, Like I like like
a dirty little shy man and so then they are like,
oh my god, you've changed my life. You've made me
see the way the world could be like very like
mannic pixie dream girl type thing. And then they're like
obsessed with me, and I'm like, I don't it's not
(30:58):
it was never that serious.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
No, oh my gosh, or not just at home masturbating
twenty four hours a day, like I mean, honestly. But
here's the other thing. Did you hear on the news
about that toy company that had that Ai dog or
an AI teddy bear? But it so it was telling
(31:21):
kids how to do like BSDM, the sexual like bondage and.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
The teddy bear.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yes, and it was telling kids, don't be silly and
put a fork in the microwave. And then after you
played it like five times, it's all go ahead, put
a fork in the microwave. And they had to recall
this whole line of these bears.
Speaker 1 (31:47):

I'm confused.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
It's not it calls itself Ari. It is not a
human person, so we should not call it Ari. We
should call it chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
When I was when I was so, uh, Rob Reiner
owns a production company and I couldn't remember the name
of it, and so I chat gpt'd it and I said, hey,

thank you. My name is Ari. And if there's anything
else you need, Eric, you just let me know. Wow.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
And the creepiest thing is Kevin Costner also face times
her so to manipulate his eyes in his mouth. It's
the same he's in the He's like in a car,
the same video, but he'll blink and he'll so crazy.
It's just things have gotten out of control. Don't you
dare send him one gift card, no Apple card or.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Whatever he has coming down the pike. I will tell
you because.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Let me say, he's Kevin Costner.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
He doesn't need her mind, No, he doesn't need a thing,
so don't he's actually hit TV show and he doesn't
call anybody darling and honey and lover.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
I think she just likes the attention and it's fun.
But I mean I've been telling her and telling Blue
in the face. This is a guy who's sitting in
a small little place with a laptop with a bunch
of his buddies. I forgot what they're called. This is
group of people in Nigeria. They're like the Bongo Boys
(34:12):
or something like that, and they all like do this
to people in the States. Anyway, enough of that, Yeah,
you know what, your friend, I don't maybe give him
another chance to talk to him, say you know that
hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
It happens. Yeah, Ivy reaches out, but I'm not reaching out.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
But if you're going to be controlled like that by
somebody else, yeah, to give up a friend of twelve years?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Come on, Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like
that at all.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Why don't we let's get to the double D news
because this isn't a big Double D days is huge, sad.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Very sad. So I just want to this isn't double
d but we it happened over the weekend too. Horrible
shootings happened. So to anybody that was affected, our hearts
go out to you. Guys. There was a horrible shooting
on Australia's Bondai Beach. It was a mass shooting. Fifteen
(35:10):
people died celebrating hanukkah. Oh my god, which is it
was just terrible. And then there was a shooting at
Brown University and two people died and eight people were injured. Yeah,
so it was just not a great weekend. It was
a very violent, awful weekend. So so last night, so
(35:31):
I'll preface this by saying I was at a film
festival in Santa Barbara and I met Rob Reiner and
he was one of the nicest people.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
That's all I've been hearing. Yeah, is how wonderful and
kind this man?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yes, he was so nice and so lovely. So I
got home last night and I it was a right
around seven o'clock maybe a little bit earlier, no, right
about six point thirty, and my phone went off and
it said, please tell me this isn't true, and it
(36:08):
said that a couple was found in a home owned
by Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, and I looked
it up, and as I was looking it up, it
said two people were found and I thought, oh gosh,
this is awful. Hope. I mean, any way you slice it,
(36:30):
it was bad. But I thought maybe they were renting
the house and there was a gas leak or something
like that. As I was reading it, another text came
through my phone that said it is They identified them
and it was Rob Reiner and his wife. Then another
text comes through, So Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle
(36:53):
Singer Reiner were found in their Brentwood home by their
daughter Romy. They had both been stabbed and their throats
were slit. So that just came out right before I
got here tonight. The suspect is their son, Nick, who
had been in rehab eighteen times and was also homeless
(37:16):
at different points in his life. He has been booked
in an LA County jail on a four million dollar bail,
which was just revoked and now he's being held without bail.
He is also on suicide watch. According to friends of
the family, the three of them, Rob, Michelle, and Nick
(37:37):
were at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party and allegedly got into
a very heated argument and Rob and his wife wound
up leaving the party. No one said if Nick left
or not. But then they were found yesterday around five
or five thirty pm.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Did they say if Nick had mental issues of.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Any kind or one of the reports said he did
suffer from mental issues, Yeah, but times rehab. Yeah, and
they were They had told friends allegedly that they've done
everything they could, They have exhausted every avenue.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
They probably put their foot down and said, you know yeah,
or you know, gave him a boundary that he didn't want.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
So for anybody that doesn't know who Rob Reiner was,
he was Meathead in the show All in the Family.
He's also had a recurring role on role on the
new show The Bear.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Oh really.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
He's also a very successful director. He has directed some
of my favorite movies. This is Spinal Tap, Princess Bride,
stand By Me, When Harry met Sally, directed A Few
Good Men, Misery, The Bucket List, American President. He was
eight years old, his wife Michelle was sixty eight, and
he co founded Castle Rock Entertainment. Oh wow, So it's
(39:07):
a huge production company. Very very very sad and I'm
sure more. I'll keep you guys posted on more details.
But boyle, boyle, boy was that rough to hear?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
And did you hear who else died?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Okay, well I have a couple. Okay, are you talking
about Anthony Gary?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, so he was Luke on General Hospital. He died
of a surgery complication at seventy eight in Amsterdam, So
it didn't say what.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Maybe he was having, like cosmetics.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
That's what I was wondering since it was Amsterdam. I'm
wondering if he was having something.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Well, let's not be I'll speculate, but Claire, when we
were in I think it was probably junior high school,
maybe right out of elementary school. Luke and Laura were
the biggest names. They were on a soap opera, General Hospital,
General Hospital, and they had this they were a couple
(40:06):
and like the it was the biggest soap opera on TV.
And then they had they got married and it was
the biggest thing. Like millions of people tuned in. It
was all Luke and Laura. Luke and Laura, Luke and Laura.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
I remember that.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Oh yeah, well you couldn't gouge anywhere. They were on
T shirts. They were on posters. It wasn't crazy, it's
too bad. So this is crazy and you might know
who she is. Have you ever heard of Mary Magdalen? Okay,
so she's a she's an artist. She is an Instagram
model with thirty eight j implants. One ruptured, so she
(40:46):
had one uniboob like it was so big it sat
right in the middle of her chest. If you google it,
it's insane. And both of her boobs were spiderwebs, so
they were her. She was tattooed from from her top
of her head to the bottoms of her feet and
on her arms and boobs. Initially it was all spider
(41:07):
web so like where the spider would sit. It was
here on the nips, and then the spider web would
go over each boob. Then she had her whole body tattooed.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Black, so that must have taken forever.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
And on her Instagram it shows her getting tattooed and
it just looks. And then she had the butt implants.
So it was crazy, but art is really really cool.
I mean her face she had, her eyes were white
and then the tattooing she had it like the permanent black.
Speaker 4 (41:45):
It was.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Then she had like spider webs and stuff across her face.
It was crazy. She was in Thailand and fell out
of a ninth floor story of an apartment high rise
and died and died. Yeah so it but to see
what this girl look like and what she's put herself through.
(42:06):
And the lips were as big as the boobs, like
everything was super exaggerated, and I mean it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
So that's my biggest falling.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Oh h that. Oh No.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
On a happier note, Dick van Dyke from the Dick
Van Dyke Show, Yay one of the fun God him
and Carol Burnett. God love him.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
I love him.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
So you met him, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (42:32):
I did a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
And watch the Coldplay song that features watched the video
ah My Love It's called and it features Dick van
Dyke singing part of it with him.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
It's the most precious video you'll ever see.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Ninety nine In the.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Video, he's a hundred yes, and his word to everyone
was don't harbor resentment and anger. I love that. Yeah,
that's that's you said. It really takes a toll on you,
but yeah, happy birthday turned a hundred. Amy Schumer and
her husband Chris Fisher are done. So after seven years
(43:10):
of marriage and they have one son, she said. She
posted on Instagram and it was really funny. She's like,
you know, just because I lost all this weight and
look hot, doesn't that's not the reason that we're divorcing.
She's like, we're still best friends and we're going to
raise our son.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Okay, yeah, So this is another barn burner that happened
over the weekend. Comedian Andy Dick.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Oh yes, I briefly saw this. Give me the details.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Its insane. He was walking down the street in La
On I think it was Hollywood Boulevard. Some dude just
came up to him and he's like, hey, Andy, do
you want to smoke some crack? And Andy Dick said sure,
why not? Now these are This is coming right from
Andy Dick's mouth after they revived him with two shots
(44:00):
of narkhan. So narkan is what revives somebody that's had
an OD It.
Speaker 3 (44:07):
Took two, so I had a fentanyl in it obviously.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Oh my god. And the video of him on the street,
you think he's dead and some security guard runs over
and he's like Andy, Andy, and he's trying to get
and he's just completely out, so they revived him. The
paramedics came, they did not take him to the hospital.
Andy said he will not go to rehab. Then, as
(44:33):
of today, the report said that he checked himself in.
So he has a friend named Jennifer of twenty years
who was on celebrity rehab with him.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I remember this because I remember watching this show.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah with Doctor Drew. I think, yeah, so I think
this is her and her husband Tim that said they
got Andy a full ride scholarship offer to this rehab
center super fancy, yes, plush because of their connections to
the rehab center, meaning his stay won't be on his
(45:11):
own dime. So that is being met with a lot
of scrutiny because they were like, he's been an out
of rehab. I think more times than a baking count.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
I think he if he paid for it, it would
mean more, it.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Would like you know, that's what people are saying, is
that giving him a free ride when a he is
literally just revived from death and he's like, I'm not
going to rehab.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Rehab won't work until the person wants wants to.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
I remember I tried to go to rehab the first
time and I stopped by my drug dealer's house and
had a line of cocaine and a glass of wine
before I went to my first day of outpatient rehab.
(46:04):
So obviously I thought I get it all out of
the way. Like I thought, like, Okay, this is my
last chance.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
Da da da da.
Speaker 3 (46:11):
Well, they give you a P test right when you
get there, and you're supposed to be a week sober
before you even start. So I was kicked out, but
I wasn't ready. I mean I wanted to, but then
at the same time, I'm like, I'm not quite done yet.
But then the second time, I was screaming inside for it.
(46:32):
I wanted it more than anything. So you can't help
a person unless they want the help in it. And
you've hopefully this will be his bottom.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, two things.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
A narcand he almost died. Hopefully this will be his bottom,
but I don't know. It doesn't sound like it.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Well, they said on Friday, I think it was when
this happened. They said he was completely unresponsive and somebody
came running over with narkanon.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
Well he's a lucky man.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah. So I watched a couple really good things. Two
were Christmas related. One was the new Knives Out movie
called Wake Up dead Man on Netflix and it's Daniel Craig,
Glenn Close, Kerry Washington. It's got a huge cast. It
(47:26):
was actually really good. I love the first one. I
moderately liked the second one, and then I really liked
this one. Okay, Then I watched You Can Just take
a Nap.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
During this, I just saw the words and I was like,
oh my god, I would rather. I would rather, I
would run naked up my street right now.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
Then watch this, and I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
Christina Aguilera Christmas in Paris. You know I love my Songstresses.
It was so good.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Oh God, I love oh Boring.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
And then the last one was the new It's on
Prime and it's the new Michelle Fifer movie Oh called
Oh What Fun? And it's Oh It's a Christmas movie, yes,
and it's super cute. It's about it. It's fun for
the whole family. It's a mom who does everything for
her family and at the holidays, you know, she makes
(48:25):
the food, she wraps all the gifts. Well everybody else
just sits around and does nothing, and her kids come
to visit and she gets the whole family tickets for this,
you know, so you think you can dance thing and
they're complaining about that. So they all go and leave
her at home and forget completely forget about her.
Speaker 3 (48:48):
And then does somebody come around and try to murder her?
And then that's my kind of movie.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
No nobody. She decides to give the middle finger to
the whole family. Oh, she deflates all of It's really cute.
And then she goes on a road trip.
Speaker 3 (49:04):
I kind of wish I was that girl that liked
the Hallmark Christmas stuff.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
No, now, don't get me started on that stupid channel
that has Christmas movies three hundred and sixty five days
a year. I just here that I can't do I pull. Oh,
and I'm totally going to rewatch the two Lindsay Lohan
ones on Netflix. Oh God, I love me some Lindsay
lohand I love her Lindsay. If you're watching, I love you.

U sixty five inch ten year old TV that still works,
the remote works with the little iffy. It's yours. We
were going to leave it at the curb, but we
didn't want to leave it overnight because it gets a
little dewey.

that to say it does not work.

away too, So if anybody wants a ten year old
not smart TV, let me know, and it's yours, along
with the firestick.
