Just wait until you hear the convo we have with Erik's #1 BFF Marla and what he did to cause he to scream in horror. AND, what did Erik do that almost made Marla kick him to the curb and had Erik sweating bullets...all the while Laura thinks it's all hysterical. Before the big phone call, we play a game called Disturbed Friends, which is on the naughtier side. And, Erik delivers a special Thursday edition of the Double D Showbiz News report, including the hot couple where the wife now holds the husband's balls in her purse...meaning he's on a very tight leash. Go see Hedda Gabler at the Old Globe and put in code LCAD so your handling fees are waved! Love your podcast.

Well, that's funny because I just talked to my no, no, no,
I just talked to my daughter, Evan Elizabeth on the
phone right before the podcast started, because when she called me,
I was at work and I was like in the
middle of a story and I'm like, I'll call you,
I promise when I get off, and then I forgot
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So way I pick up the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We have FaceTime, and she looks at me and she
starts laughing and she's like, mom.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What is up with your hair? She goes, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I said, I just parted it on the sides
kind of severely for a reason, just to be different, because.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's really too severe.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So I'm gonna take my headphones off and I want
you guys to be completely honest with me.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let me fluff it out a little bit. Okay, here's
the sides. I want honest thoughts.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
M M.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't think it's bad. I don't know that. I
like the side bang the site.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't like the sweep swept over?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Look?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Why is it too severe or does it just look weird?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Uh? It doesn't look weird.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It it's questionable. Yes, Okay, So you don't like it.
I can tell you don't like it. You don't say
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Okay, I accept that, Claire.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I mean it's not offensive, it's perfectly okay, but I
don't think it's your best.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Look.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
No, I mean you can do better, and you have
done better.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay, let me do something really quick. What if I
did this without the clip.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That I like much better without the Yes, I think
it was too slick down and you have such an
if you have such eye cheekbones.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I have a very manly face.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
No, not a manly face. Well that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Anyway, there we go.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is that a little bit much better? It's much softer.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yes, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I like that much better.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
This top that.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm wearing I found deep within the caverns of my garage,
and this top is twenty five years old. I wore
it to a jingle ball back in the day and
like it has like these little It was really super expensive, I.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Remember, and it's just it's very cute.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Isn't it nice. I'm like, I'm going to wear it today.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And it's older than you, Claire, this is older than you.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That's crazy anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, we have several things happening on tonight's show. Oh yes,
we have Eric's double D reports. We have a fun game.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That we're going to play hopefully if we have time.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And we have Eric's bff, his number one bff, Marla
hopefully on the phone to tell a story that apparently
you all need to hear. Yes, because it's she is
hysterical in a very dry sort of way.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And she has a definite beef with you.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh oh oh, yes, we need to talk about that
b Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Which I will. I will dip out at that point
of the show.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh oh, I'm going to talk to her about it
one on one.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yes, Oh, this is gonna be that point. We'll just
go and sit in my.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Car because marlow Enjoy is a little intimidating. Not only
is she beautiful, but she is very you kind of
some you don't really know what she's thinking sometimes, and
she's very clever and intelligent, and she has a very witty,
(05:36):
dry sense of humor, so sometimes you can take that in.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
A wrong way.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
So I'm really curious to know what she has to
say about the phone.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm just glad that she's on the phone and not
here in person, because I would lose my mind when.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
She was here in person. Because I make Eric number
his friends, his best friends.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He hates doing you're all number one in my book,
that's not true.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It is true.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Marla is his long time Like, how many years have
you got Oh since you guys were in junior high school?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh no before that, okay, oh god, we were just
little kids.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, so that's how long we have been friends.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So I willingly and most I respectfully give her the
number one spot. I know she's your number one. I
am your number two. But she said I was one
and a half one time. But there was a time
when she was on and we were playing how well
do you know Eric? And we were seeing which one
(06:40):
of us knows him best, which one of his besties
knows him best, And without really discussing this ahead of time.
We both knew that we had to make it as
uncomfortable as possible for Eric and kind of pretend like
we were not like each other very much and that
(07:01):
we were kind of having it out.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And I would just say it was a screaming success. Claire.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Eric's back, I'm not joking, was completely wet.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
There was this big, giant realm.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I got up and stood up and showed everyone. I
looked like I had just gone swimming from like the
neck down.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
He thought we were like being true. I mean, we
were joking around, but he didn't know.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, I forget what Laura said in Marle goes that's
really nice. I have children that are listening. Nice Laura.
And I was like, oh God, here we go. And
the waterworks just started. I had swamp passed so bad.
That night was terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So she's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
On at the end of the show, and then I
might have a Rondo news segment if we need it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But just a lot of fun different things.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay, we got to talk about Old Globe.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yes, we're gonna talk about the Old Globe.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Theater, the Jewel of Balboba Park and San Diego.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, Yes, we had the pleasure the honor to attend
Head a Gabbler and it was outstanding, starring Katie Holmes.
All of the actors were outstanding. That one guy was
(08:20):
so hot, the author, Yeah, I thought I was gonna
just melt in my chair, like I haven't found a
guy that hot in.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
A long time.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like I was, like, she vas, he is so cute.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But anyway, this show will have you on the edge
of your seat. It was so good. It's crazy, all
sorts of things happen. Head of Gambler is just a
very complex, dramatic, kind of insane person narcissists who's married
to like a boring dude, and she tries to liven
(08:55):
up her life in various ways that are not so good. Anyway,
that is now showing at the Old Globe.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And did you say they extended it?
Speaker 1 (09:04):

into going to the theater, because you forget how how
cool it is.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It is new, it's be live fun, Yes it is,
and you're so close and like out of all of
the stages that they have, they're all different in their
own right, and like this one was. It was big enough,
but it was still intimate, like you were. It still
felt like you. I mean we were in the front row,
(10:06):
but you could like reach out and touch people.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I mean it was I think you should be a subscriber,
a ticket subscriber. You can pick and choose which performances
you want to see. Their season is off the chart,
it's loaded, and there's one that's called Begin Again. It's
not until September. But the music, it's a musical. All
the music written by the lead singer. I think his

name is Pat Monahan something like that, and he is
so talented and it's going.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, So we got a couple things. I I binge
watched this in one night, one night. It came out
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I know what you're gonna say, and I can't even
wait to hear what you think.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I was riveted. If you all remember, there were twenty
four cycles of this Tyra Banks and America's Next Top Model.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I watched every single one.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It was. It was on the UPN I don't even
know if that station is still around anymore, and it
was on.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
A different station, didn't change to like a like VH.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
One or something like that, or that might have been
reruns or something. I don't even remember, but I remember
thinking when I when that show was on, I was like,
because they made them do things like butt on blackface, like,
they made them change races, photographs, they made them enact
like murder scenes, like crazy stuff, and I remember thinking
(12:06):
this is not gonna age well. I remember thinking that
back then, and boy over COVID did it not age well?
It got into cancel culture really quick. So there's three episodes.
They're both about or all three are about forty five
minutes apiece. And let me.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Tell you, Tyra is even in it, and she talks
about the show like I was surprised to see her.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
She does, and.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you believe what she says?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
In my opinion, yeah, she doesn't come off great. Oh
and let me tell you some of those America's Next
Top Models are not happy with miss Tira Claire.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Have you ever watched that show, America's Next Top Model.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I've never seen a full episode, but I'm familiar with
its cultural impact.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Do you remember when the girls it was the time
for them to change their look, Like they would take
them all into a salon and Tyre would say, Okay,
I think I want your bob, your brown bob. We're
gonna shave that all off and you're just gonna be
the bald model this time. And like the girl, some
(13:18):
of the girls would break down and cry because if
you didn't do it, you were out. You had to
do what she said. Some added extensions. They always changed
their hair color. They did like really severe things.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
There's some things in there that I loved.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That that one episode.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh well, there's one where a model had a gap
and she was like, no, you got to fix that gap.
And the girl stood firm. She's like, no, I'm not
I love my gap. And she's like, well then you're
off the show. Yeah, And I mean there's some stuff
that went down on that show that you're like, Holy Moses.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So some women who were on the show are like damage.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah. They interview about maybe about a dozen of the models,
and then they also interview Miss Jay who was the
guy that taught them how to walk. Oh yes, and
then Jay Manuel, who was the like the was the
kind of makeup artist, photo stylist and stuff like that.
(14:19):
Boil Boil boy.

months ago, and so I'm going to go to her funeral.

really has the cuff on Justin Timberlake's genitals. After a
few very public missteps, Justin Timberlake is being held on
a tight leash by Jessica Bile. A source says that
they there's a very clear understanding that he is not
calling the shots anymore, not if he wants to keep
her happy and remain a married man. So, uh, she
(17:50):
has him on a tight leash. Well, didn't he gets
boys now are totally off limits?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He gotten to or he didn't he get? Do you
why he did?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Like a year and a half ago or two years maybe,
and then didn't he weren't there rumors that he was
doing whippets or whatever those things are that.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Poppers, yes, which is not something straight guys usually do exactly, So.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Then there were those rumors going around.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
So gives a whole new definition to the term boys night.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Okay, I understand why she would have a tight leash.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
On that, man.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I mean, listen, she's hot as hell.
Speaker 2 (18:32):

a different answer.
Speaker 2 (19:52):

all throughout the podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
We're used to this.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah. So on Valentine's Day, they were in town and
so we decided to get together and we were going
to go out to dinner, and then we changed our
plans and we decided to order food and stay at Marlow's.
So she said, can you bring a bottle of vodka?
And I was like, Oh, this is going to be
(29:16):
amazing because she don't drink the cheap stuff. Okay, So I.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Was like, well, it already started. Let me just say like,
we came down late Friday night from La We left
at six thirty on a three day weekend. It took
us almost four hours, yeah, like three and a half
ish plus from Sriman Oaks to Coronado so we have
(29:43):
a house right by the Lows, so I literally threw
my kids out in the parking lot of the Lows
at ten thirty. They stopped serving food at eleven with
my older son brought his one of his best friends.
Just go in there and order food. I'm gonna go.
I had brought two dogs with me out of the
(30:05):
flour and needed to drop them off of the house
because they needed to pee and they needed to go outside.
And I brought some groceries down so I was going
to unload that and rush back. So we had that night.
We didn't go to bed till like two o'clock in
the morning. I didn't go to bed till two o'clock
in the morning because we got back to the house
at about eleven thirty, and I had all this stuff
(30:27):
delivered from Amazon while I was gone that my neighbor
put in the house for me, like a new area
wreck and like other things like that, And I'm like, Eric,
I can't go to sleep knowing that there is an
unrolled area rug in my living room.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Okay, I need.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
To know what it's going to look like. And I
had been driving for four hours, so I had all
this energy, so I start moving for I start, I
put on like lounge music, myself a drink. I start
moving everything in my house around by myself, and then
(31:07):
realize I can't put the couch back by myself. I
can push it off stuff, but I can't put it
back on. So I have to call my son and
his friend with muscles down. If my neighbors saw me
from across the way, she would have legitimately thought I
was on mess what I was vacuuming, cleaning, rearranging stuff,
(31:32):
moving furniture behavior until two am. And that's my porn.
Like I'm like, oh, I love this so much, Like
I had Miguel Miggs playing a little like Shah Day,
and I am moving stuff till two o'clock in the morning.
That's my jam. Yeah, I love it. So I wake
(31:52):
up it Saturday, go to the pool, the Low's with
all the adults. My kids are doing homework, responsible things.
I'm like, Mom's going to go to the lows and
have drinks. So I go have drinks and I'm already
like buzz. So I know I cannot meet Eric in
town and like there's no way I'm driving. So I'm like, hey,
(32:15):
change the plans. This would be fun. Okay, So let's
order food and I did it up. My house looked gorgeous,
and I said, hey, can you bring a bottle of
vodka because I didn't have anything from Martinis. And here's
where it starts with Eric.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh god, oh god, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
And it was lovely, wasn't it lovely?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Eric?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
It was way better. It was way better than going
into town paying like for overpriced food.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
We had so much, okay.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
And then we went over to the neighbors after and
had drinks and it was just no one had to
drink and drive and it was just it was nice.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So god, so I stop at Ralph's and I am
calling her and texting her and I'm like, hey, call
me because I can't remember what what vodka she likes.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Did you tell him what kind you get?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
That? You're also not a vodka drinker?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
No, I'm not so, and he's not.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
He doesn't like to spend a lot of money either.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Well, no, that's.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Exactly well, Laura, Yes, so this is going to tie
in perfectly. I do know this, and this is why
I lost my ship.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So I I'm like, I'm going to get her good.
And Marla's hard to rattle. So I'm running out and
she calls as I'm leaving, and she's like, hey, what's up.
And I said, oh, never mind, I got it. I
got you.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I just ran in and gave you wait wait, wait,
mind you. I said, please get me a nice vodka.
I will then moo you for it. So I'm not
expecting him to cover it.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You even okay, so you were even going to pay back.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
I'm paying for it.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
So this was this is why I thought this is
gonna be amazing. So I'm like, oh, and I acted
like I was kind of bothered and kind of rushed,
and I said, oh, it's it's too late, Like I
I just picked up. I got the Kroger vodka. And
this is where I hear.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
I literally like the word vodka. Didn't even finish after
Kroger vodka. By the way, Hey, no judgment. If that's
your jam and you're like a Kroger vodka, great, I
do not. And I screamed at the top of my
lungs like I had just witnessed my firstborn being hit

by a car. No, no, like I freaked out. Yeah,
and he started laughing hysterically because I didn't get you Kroger.
I'm like, oh my god, I go all I have
to say, like my disappointed in so many ways.
Speaker 2 (35:18):

make a martini when I'm paying for it, when I've.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Offered to pay for it.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Did you give him a limit, like the price limit?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (36:14):
No, because I was in a hurry and I was
cleaning and like night candles and trying to impress, you know,
the guys, and I was just like, oh god, it
has to be right. I have to make a house nice.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
When I couldn't get a hold of her. I was like, oh,

a good one, and.

like I don't like red or like you know. It
was like whites and greens and eucalyptus and wrapped in
brown paper and the whole like it was gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Okay, because he knows you, Okay, but he's.
Speaker 5 (38:20):

not he He and money don't part very easily.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Well, that's not it. I just don't drink a lot
of alcohol, so I know.

But if you do drink alcohol, you can't go cheap.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Okay, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 5 (39:22):

like I know people people know kettle one, like, oh,

someone for someone that like a higher end vodka martini.
You're not going to do a kettle one.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh god, I'm never bringing alcohol to anything again and anywhere.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I'll just give you the name and then I will
then moan.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
That's that's a better idea.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
So did I then mode you for for all the.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Stuff it did? Yours?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
What is the other?

Hey yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Right, now let's talk about this is I'm going to
dip out right, I'm already sweating.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
So he shows up at my house, comes in. I've
got I may have even had a cocktail for you
because you drove whatever. You know, You're like, I'm packing.
I have got not even twenty four hours with you
because you were going to something the next day and
you were leaving. He puts his phone down on my
(40:32):
kitchen island. It's a clear case and there's just like
you know, a photo of you, you and you and
you and him in there just hugging it up or
I don't even know of selfie, which, by the way,
who prints photos anymore? So whatever, you took the effort
time an effort.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
It was a polari Yeah, to print a.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Photo and put it in your phone case.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
All right?
Speaker 5 (40:59):
Then listen walk into my house. I look like, what
the hell? What the hell's that, Marla?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I got a polaroid camera because I accidentally bought polaroid film,
and I'm like, oh crap, now I gotta buy the camera.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
And it's kind of fun.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Whatever, it just are fun, and I will say polaroid
Polaroid pictures are the most flattering photos ever.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Agreed.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
So Eric and I took a selfie after the podcast
one night, and I'm not kidding. This is exactly what
he said. He goes, oh my gosh, this is such
a great photo. I love it so much. I'm going
to put it in the back of my phone right now.
He almost jumped up and down.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
He took off his case. Oh my gosh, I'm just
being honest, took off the case. I was I was
honestly surprised, I really truly was.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
I was like, Wow, who's Marla after any of that.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
In my the back of my mind, I was thinking,
I pray she never sees this picture.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
I pray she never sees this.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
Because he took off the case, which is clear, and
he put it in very carefully. I'm like, you're gonna
are you gonna keep that in there? Like I was
kind of surprised that he did that. I was like flattered,
but like surprised. And then I thought of you, and
then I thought.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Okay, well she'll hopefully never see it.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
And then boom, literally within a week, the photo.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
The photo a Polaroid camera too, and Polaroid phone. So
I guess what we're doing the next time.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Well, let me just say, Marla, his phone right now
is completely blank.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I don't know what happened to the photo. He probably
threw it away.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Where is he? Is it in a promise? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I think it was cute and a cute idea.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
It was a very cute picture.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
I feel like it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean
I'm better.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
You cover from my house.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Feel the back of my leg right now, you know, Marla, listen, dcast.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
We've grown closer, We've grown closer. As friends over the life.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
And Eric, Wow, and I feel.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
I feel like the reason that he's never put a
photo of you in its phone.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
That is hence that is what I'm saying, like we
are so close now mm hmm, that he wants to
see my face every time he picks up his phone
because I mean that much to him. And I felt
really happy, and I was like, you know what, this
is great because Eric and I are so very close.
(44:12):
And then I thought, oh, maybe one day he can
stick a photo maybe on the bottom of the photo
of our us, of Marla and him, and then I'll
have his two besties in there.
Speaker 5 (44:26):
You will, Eric, Who's who's in your will? You both are,
Oh Jesus Christ, Marla.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Look, you don't need to be in anybody's will.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
Well you lock, I do. You don't know. You don't know,
I don't know. You're right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I have to have my besties of my will.
Speaker 5 (44:49):
It's an act of love. It's not like the dollar
amount who was listening to first. If he left me
twenty dollars, it would just be you know, like.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Oh yeah, well it's not it's definitely not twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
When you rode out when you wrote out the will,
and you have to list the people that are your beneficiaries.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Clara, can you and I switch spots?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Honest to God?
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Number wise? Where am I and where is Marla?
Speaker 5 (45:19):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yes, you do?
Speaker 2 (45:24):
I should get more than.
Speaker 5 (45:25):
Marl per year of knowing someone.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (45:29):
I think that we should be per like uh situational?
Speaker 5 (45:36):
Well I don't live there.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Okay, are you so there you go?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Are you two going to be like taking turns trying
to have me wiped out?
Speaker 5 (45:57):
We're going to be like in the lawyer's office, like
beating each other up how much.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
I should have gotten more than her? Where she lives,
where I live? Come on, well, I'm glad that we
are both in his uh.
Speaker 5 (46:19):
M hm.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
But honestly, Marla, I was just joking around with everything else,
and you know that.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
You.
Speaker 5 (46:28):
I'm glad he has someone there for him when I'm
not around.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, sorry, you keep me in line, exactly.
Speaker 3 (46:36):

Of course you will be from now intel eternity. You're

Speaker 5 (47:02):
You are and I love you so much.
Speaker 3 (47:05):
And I love you and respect you a lot, and
I respect your relationship with Eric, and I respect your history.
Speaker 5 (47:14):
And my kids love him.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
I love her kids.
Speaker 5 (47:16):
Too love him.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
My kids also love Eric.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
Yeah, we've got some good memories that when they were
little and I let Uncle Eric babysit them when my
husband and I went away on a vacation and that
was the best gotten to do things. I was like, wait,
what spending all these pictures? They were like at the
fidem Fashion Museum downtown. Wow, like posing in front of
like Audrey Hepburn's dresses in like like in glass cases,
(47:48):
but they were in front of it, posing like Spider
Man and like all these marble poses. But it was
like Audrey Hepburn's dress and Marilyn Monroe. I'm like, wait, what.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Like things they wouldn't do for you.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
He's like, I just know how to sell it and
make it cool. I'm like, oh my god, I cannot
believe you got them to go to a Fashion Expo
and sold it in some sort of weird Marvel way
and in front of like Andrew and Andy Warhol pictures
and like Batman poses in front of it. He's like,
(48:23):
I just know how to I know how to sell it.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
What is your fourteen year old really into right now?
Speaker 5 (48:30):
Oh? God? Stupid videos on YouTube and constantly yelling at
him to stop watching idiots on YouTube?
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Just or is there a niche that he likes.
Speaker 5 (48:45):
I don't know. I mean, it's it's just these people
that are dying to be famous and doing stupid stunts
or eating stupid things, or just it makes me crazy
and is feeling his head full of non sense. And
I have to take his phone away from him. I
the second he falls asleep, I like sneak in his
(49:07):
room and take his phone. I take everything away. So
in the morning he focuses, and I mean, they're all
into that. Just the constant scrolling makes me insane. And
he has pretty severe ADHD, which is that's not good
for their brain. And so I'm constantly constantly taking away
(49:30):
his phone, you know, like I have to take it
away from him, and and he gets mad at me,
and I'm like, yeah, I don't need to be your friends.
I don't care if you don't like me very very
much right now.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
That's such as a parent, I don't need to be
your friend.
Speaker 5 (49:46):
I don't care if you're mad. This is destroying your brain.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
What about your other son? What is he into?
Speaker 5 (49:54):
So he also watches He's very into He's into like
watching and was maddic too, like sports videos. They like
a lot of sports clips. Mason's really into basketball, really
into the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Does he play?
Speaker 5 (50:13):
He did up until like a year ago, and then
as I don't. I mean, I don't know if it
was the same when your son went to school. But
a lot of these sports now in school are very different.
You public school, private school, all of them. They're recruiting
kids that are you can't be a regular kid and
(50:33):
play high school basketball anymore. It's a business. If you're
not a six foot four fifteen year old, you're not
playing in varsity basketball. You know, it's it's And they
go to private school, so it's even I mean, I
don't know with public school, it's even crazier. They had
a kid last year at their school that was recruited
(50:58):
from Senegal for cus who was living in someone's guest house.
He was six foot like six, and they're just they're
just recruiting all these kids from other schools and all
over the country and getting full rides at these private schools,
which good for them, you know, like it's changing their lives,
(51:21):
but it's changed the whole the whole sports world for
just the regular kid to play sports.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
That's so unfair and not right.
Speaker 5 (51:31):
It stinks. So you can do outside leagues, you know,
like he could do like a Sherman Oaks League or
whatever like outside of school, but they want to play
for their school, of course, really want to, and it's
not possible now if you're not at a certain crazy
level for varsity.
Speaker 3 (51:51):
Have we started, like oh, I was going to say,
have we started like the college uh thing?
Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yet?
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Yeah. So he's nine eleventh, my old one, and we
are in mid like heavy sat tutoring college like like
you know, they've got the college counselors at school and
they're working on their essays and they're you can't again,
(52:20):
that's another thing, I know. You can't just be a
regular kid with good grades and go to college anymore.
You have to build your whole extracurricular resume. And if
you haven't you know, performed open heart surgery on the
side of a freeway on a puppy with a tampon
(52:40):
and a pair of tweezers. You're not getting into the
school you want. It's ridiculous what they have to do. Now.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
You have to have like a four point six, like
something outrageous, Like.
Speaker 5 (52:54):
Well, he does probably have a way to GPA of
like a four point four.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (52:59):
Yeah, he has probably an unweighted GPA of a four
point zero and a probably weighted GPA of like probably
like a four four.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
But he needs some kind of thing to make to
make him stand out.
Speaker 5 (53:13):
But that's not enough. You have to do the you know.
And he's done like hundreds and hundreds of hours of
volunteer work and he's now got an internship. He's done
some stuff with the Clippers with like the business department,
and he's in the broadcasting thing at school, and like
(53:34):
I can't even name it all, but it's still like
not enough, and it makes me sad. It makes me
really sad for these kids, you know.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
He it sounds like he I think he's got it nailed.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
I really like the intern thing and his his grades,
and it's just the oh my god.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
The essays and then the interviews are so right cool.
Speaker 5 (53:58):
But you would think it's enough, and then you hear
that he's just the same. And I will say he's
in that upper like echelon of kids that are super
brainy smart, like crazy smart. But then the counselors make
you realize, well, super smart's also sort of a diamond
(54:19):
doesent like, there's a lot of kids that are just
as smart as him? So what else was he going
to do? And it's beyond stressful. And you know what,
I'm at the point now. And also kids now they
apply to like eighteen to twenty school.
Speaker 1 (54:37):
That's insane.
Speaker 5 (54:38):
I applied to one. I went to Diego State the
same I did this, Like what one they apply to
like twenty and hope that they get you know, into
like four.
Speaker 2 (54:53):
For each one.
Speaker 5 (54:56):
Yeah, you have to spend, you have to you know, yes,
then it's different, you know, there's different. You know, you
put your you put your you know, the state schools
all go in in one application and the uces go
and you know, my kids do go to private school,
and the ucs don't necessarily like kids that come from
(55:17):
private school. Oh my god, they pick them kind of last.
So then there's state schools, there's u sees, and then
there's the private schools. You know, there's Stanford, there's Harvard,
there's Yale, there's you know, he's applying to like all
schools that I could never have gotten it in a
million years. University of Michigan, Duke Wow. Okay, then y
(55:42):
you Cornell like he's a smarty pant.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
We need to.
Speaker 3 (55:45):
Figure out, we need we need to cook up some
sort of story or some kind of thing that he
can do that will make him stand out so far
at everybody else like some weird thing, like nobody else
is doing all.
Speaker 5 (55:59):
Of it all right, I mean, it's all like it's
all like sort of played out now, like they've all
done all of it. And you know, and your college
essays have to be like very different and very you know,
you can't write about and I hope this doesn't offend
anyone that's listening to it. You can't write about my
(56:20):
grandfather died or someone had cancer. They're like blah blah blah.
Everyone says that, like you've got to write something about
like an essay about the most amazing soup you had
and the ingredients and the soup that related to the
ingredients in your life. Like, you've got to write something
very different and avant garde. It's crazy, you know what
(56:42):
I mean? They want that. Yes, they're like, I'm sorry
your grandfather died of cancer. It's probably a beautiful essay,
but so did twenty million other kids, Like you can't,
it's crazy. Well, Marla, you've got to write about something crazy.
Speaker 3 (56:58):
I respect you so much. Not only are you going
through that, You've got your fourteen year old who you're
trying to steer away from screen time. You are preparing dinners,
you are doing all the shopping. You are like raising children.
You are taking him tune from school. Now there's like
(57:20):
the driver's test you gotta do. The fourteen year old's
almost almost ready for.
Speaker 5 (57:24):
That very twenty Well, Eric rode in the car with
him and he got one.
Speaker 4 (57:32):
Like oh.
Speaker 1 (57:34):
Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 5 (57:36):
So mad at me when I'm in the car with him,
so mad and he's like, mom, I know what I'm doing.
I'm like, do you? And I told Eric, I go, wait,
I go, You're gonna You're gonna He's gonna drive us
to school in the morning and afterwards we'll drop him
off and then we were taking the car to go
take a hike, and I was pretty good, right, Eric, yes,
(57:58):
one like.
Speaker 1 (58:02):
And let me tell you, I almost peeded myself. That's
what I was waiting for.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Oh my gosh, welcome listen. It is Evan.
Speaker 3 (58:08):
My daughter's twenty one and still doesn't have her driver's lescense.
Speaker 2 (58:12):
Thank you very much. That's what kind of mother I am.
Speaker 5 (58:16):
I'm just you have to tell her. So I just
really I just learned this today and didn't even think
about it. Eric, I went to lunch of a lexus
and oh, so you know how like driver's insurance is
crazy expensive for like, you know, a teenager. How much
so is your daughters? The clock starts when they start driving,
(58:39):
So she doesn't start driving until she's twenty five, it's
still crazy expensive new driver's insurance she was sixteen.
Speaker 1 (58:49):
Oh fun. Oh I didn't know. That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (58:53):
I didn't even ever think of that, Oh my gosh.
Because there's all these kids now that don't want to
drive because they can take away more or an uber
or whatever. And it's like, well, wait, you need to
start driving, because it's the clock doesn't start ticking until
you start driving. With new drivers insurance. So if you
don't start driving until you're forty, you're going to charge
(59:16):
you like you're a sixteen year old, like moron that
doesn't know how to drive.
Speaker 3 (59:22):
Oh my god, she'll just have to take the subway
for the rest of your life.
Speaker 5 (59:26):
You need to start driving, so you can start working
down that insurance.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
Oh just another, just another thing. So can I just
your will?

Oh okay.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Here. It was four in the morning and I only
see me from waiste up because I was like sitting
at my desk. But he does he did say, are

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Well, that's funny because I just talked to my no, no, no,
I just talked to my daughter, Evan Elizabeth on the
phone right before the podcast started, because when she called me,
I was at work and I was like in the
middle of a story and I'm like, I'll call you,
I promise when I get off, and then I forgot
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So way I pick up the phone.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We have FaceTime, and she looks at me and she
starts laughing and she's like, mom.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What is up with your hair? She goes, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
And I said, I just parted it on the sides
kind of severely for a reason, just to be different, because.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's really too severe.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So I'm gonna take my headphones off and I want
you guys to be completely honest with me.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let me fluff it out a little bit. Okay, here's
the sides. I want honest thoughts.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
M M.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't think it's bad. I don't know that. I
like the side bang the site.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
You don't like the sweep swept over?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Look?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Why is it too severe or does it just look weird?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Uh? It doesn't look weird.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It it's questionable. Yes, Okay, So you don't like it.
I can tell you don't like it. You don't say
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Okay, I accept that, Claire.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I mean it's not offensive, it's perfectly okay, but I
don't think it's your best.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Look.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
No, I mean you can do better, and you have
done better.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay, let me do something really quick. What if I
did this without the clip.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That I like much better without the Yes, I think
it was too slick down and you have such an
if you have such eye cheekbones.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I have a very manly face.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
No, not a manly face. Well that's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Anyway, there we go.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Is that a little bit much better? It's much softer.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yes, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I like that much better.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
This top that.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm wearing I found deep within the caverns of my garage,
and this top is twenty five years old. I wore
it to a jingle ball back in the day and
like it has like these little It was really super expensive, I.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Remember, and it's just it's very cute.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Isn't it nice. I'm like, I'm going to wear it today.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
And it's older than you, Claire, this is older than you.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
That's crazy anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, we have several things happening on tonight's show. Oh yes,
we have Eric's double D reports. We have a fun game.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
That we're going to play hopefully if we have time.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
And we have Eric's bff, his number one bff, Marla
hopefully on the phone to tell a story that apparently
you all need to hear. Yes, because it's she is
hysterical in a very dry sort of way.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And she has a definite beef with you.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh oh oh, yes, we need to talk about that
b Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Which I will. I will dip out at that point
of the show.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh oh, I'm going to talk to her about it
one on one.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yes, Oh, this is gonna be that point. We'll just
go and sit in my.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Car because marlow Enjoy is a little intimidating. Not only
is she beautiful, but she is very you kind of
some you don't really know what she's thinking sometimes, and
she's very clever and intelligent, and she has a very witty,
(05:36):
dry sense of humor, so sometimes you can take that in.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
A wrong way.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
So I'm really curious to know what she has to
say about the phone.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm just glad that she's on the phone and not
here in person, because I would lose my mind when.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
She was here in person. Because I make Eric number
his friends, his best friends.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He hates doing you're all number one in my book,
that's not true.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
It is true.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Marla is his long time Like, how many years have
you got Oh since you guys were in junior high school?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh no before that, okay, oh god, we were just
little kids.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, so that's how long we have been friends.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So I willingly and most I respectfully give her the
number one spot. I know she's your number one. I
am your number two. But she said I was one
and a half one time. But there was a time
when she was on and we were playing how well
do you know Eric? And we were seeing which one
(06:40):
of us knows him best, which one of his besties
knows him best, And without really discussing this ahead of time.
We both knew that we had to make it as
uncomfortable as possible for Eric and kind of pretend like
we were not like each other very much and that
(07:01):
we were kind of having it out.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And I would just say it was a screaming success. Claire.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Eric's back, I'm not joking, was completely wet.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
There was this big, giant realm.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I got up and stood up and showed everyone. I
looked like I had just gone swimming from like the
neck down.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
He thought we were like being true. I mean, we
were joking around, but he didn't know.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, I forget what Laura said in Marle goes that's
really nice. I have children that are listening. Nice Laura.
And I was like, oh God, here we go. And
the waterworks just started. I had swamp passed so bad.
That night was terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
So she's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
On at the end of the show, and then I
might have a Rondo news segment if we need it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But just a lot of fun different things.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay, we got to talk about Old Globe.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yes, we're gonna talk about the Old Globe.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Theater, the Jewel of Balboba Park and San Diego.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, Yes, we had the pleasure the honor to attend
Head a Gabbler and it was outstanding, starring Katie Holmes.
All of the actors were outstanding. That one guy was
(08:20):
so hot, the author, Yeah, I thought I was gonna
just melt in my chair, like I haven't found a
guy that hot in.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
A long time.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like I was, like, she vas, he is so cute.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But anyway, this show will have you on the edge
of your seat. It was so good. It's crazy, all
sorts of things happen. Head of Gambler is just a
very complex, dramatic, kind of insane person narcissists who's married

felt like you. I mean we were in the front row,
(10:06):

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, So we got a couple things. I I binge
watched this in one night, one night. It came out
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I know what you're gonna say, and I can't even
wait to hear what you think.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I was riveted. If you all remember, there were twenty
four cycles of this Tyra Banks and America's Next Top Model.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I watched every single one.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It was. It was on the UPN I don't even
know if that station is still around anymore, and it
was on.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
A different station, didn't change to like a like VH.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
One or something like that, or that might have been
reruns or something. I don't even remember, but I remember
thinking when I when that show was on, I was like,
because they made them do things like butt on blackface, like,
they made them change races, photographs, they made them enact
like murder scenes, like crazy stuff, and I remember thinking
(12:06):
this is not gonna age well. I remember thinking that
back then, and boy over COVID did it not age well?
It got into cancel culture really quick. So there's three episodes.
They're both about or all three are about forty five
minutes apiece. And let me.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Tell you, Tyra is even in it, and she talks
about the show like I was surprised to see her.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
She does, and.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you believe what she says?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
In my opinion, yeah, she doesn't come off great. Oh
and let me tell you some of those America's Next
Top Models are not happy with miss Tira Claire.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Have you ever watched that show, America's Next Top Model.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I've never seen a full episode, but I'm familiar with
its cultural impact.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Do you remember when the girls it was the time
for them to change their look, Like they would take
them all into a salon and Tyre would say, Okay,
I think I want your bob, your brown bob. We're
gonna shave that all off and you're just gonna be
the bald model this time. And like the girl, some
(13:18):
of the girls would break down and cry because if
you didn't do it, you were out. You had to
do what she said. Some added extensions. They always changed
their hair color. They did like really severe things.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
There's some things in there that I loved.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That that one episode.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh well, there's one where a model had a gap
and she was like, no, you got to fix that gap.
And the girl stood firm. She's like, no, I'm not
I love my gap. And she's like, well then you're
off the show. Yeah, And I mean there's some stuff
that went down on that show that you're like, Holy Moses.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So some women who were on the show are like damage.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah. They interview about maybe about a dozen of the models,
and then they also interview Miss Jay who was the
guy that taught them how to walk. Oh yes, and
then Jay Manuel, who was the like the was the
kind of makeup artist, photo stylist and stuff like that.
(14:19):
Boil Boil boy.
Speaker 3 (14:20):

few very public missteps, Justin Timberlake is being held on
a tight leash by Jessica Bile. A source says that

Speaker 4 (19:49):
I think it's fun if everyone each of us has
a different answer.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So I'm picking Laura, Oh okay for dramatic. Okay, maybe
it's Laura.
Speaker 5 (19:57):

Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
So how we play is I'm going to pick a card, okay,

B and C answer. And you guys have cards that
say A, B and C. You hold up the card,
you pick what you think I'm going to say, okay,
(20:26):

are both correct. I would probably yell of the three
(21:28):
holy shit stays, it's Jesus.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Because that's really that's almost awesome, like you do use
the one shit but right, you're having a religious experience,
like you're on theme for the event exactly.

so we decided to get together and we were going
to go out to dinner, and then we changed our
plans and we decided to order food and stay at Marlow's.

And I was like, Oh, this is going to be
(29:16):
amazing because she don't drink the cheap stuff. Okay, So I.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Was like, well, it already started. Let me just say like,
we came down late Friday night from La We left
at six thirty on a three day weekend. It took
us almost four hours, yeah, like three and a half
ish plus from Sriman Oaks to Coronado so we have
(29:43):
a house right by the Lows, so I literally threw
my kids out in the parking lot of the Lows
at ten thirty. They stopped serving food at eleven with
my older son brought his one of his best friends.
Just go in there and order food. I'm gonna go.
I had brought two dogs with me out of the
(30:05):
flour and needed to drop them off of the house
because they needed to pee and they needed to go outside.
And I brought some groceries down so I was going
to unload that and rush back. So we had that night.
We didn't go to bed till like two o'clock in
the morning. I didn't go to bed till two o'clock
in the morning because we got back to the house
at about eleven thirty, and I had all this stuff
(30:27):
delivered from Amazon while I was gone that my neighbor
put in the house for me, like a new area
wreck and like other things like that, And I'm like, Eric,
I can't go to sleep knowing that there is an
unrolled area rug in my living room.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Okay, I need.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
To know what it's going to look like. And I
had been driving for four hours, so I had all
this energy, so I start moving for I start, I
put on like lounge music, myself a drink. I start
moving everything in my house around by myself, and then
(31:07):
realize I can't put the couch back by myself. I
can push it off stuff, but I can't put it
back on. So I have to call my son and
his friend with muscles down. If my neighbors saw me
from across the way, she would have legitimately thought I
was on mess what I was vacuuming, cleaning, rearranging stuff,
(31:32):
moving furniture behavior until two am. And that's my porn.
Like I'm like, oh, I love this so much, Like
I had Miguel Miggs playing a little like Shah Day,
and I am moving stuff till two o'clock in the morning.
That's my jam. Yeah, I love it. So I wake
(31:52):
up it Saturday, go to the pool, the Low's with
all the adults. My kids are doing homework, responsible things.
I'm like, Mom's going to go to the lows and
have drinks. So I go have drinks and I'm already
like buzz. So I know I cannot meet Eric in
town and like there's no way I'm driving. So I'm like, hey,
(32:15):
change the plans. This would be fun. Okay, So let's
order food and I did it up. My house looked gorgeous,
and I said, hey, can you bring a bottle of
vodka because I didn't have anything from Martinis. And here's
where it starts with Eric.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh god, oh god, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
And it was lovely, wasn't it lovely?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Eric?
Speaker 5 (32:42):
It was way better. It was way better than going
into town paying like for overpriced food.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
We had so much, okay.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
And then we went over to the neighbors after and
had drinks and it was just no one had to
drink and drive and it was just it was nice.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So god, so I stop at Ralph's and I am
calling her and texting her and I'm like, hey, call
me because I can't remember what what vodka she likes.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Did you tell him what kind you get?
Speaker 5 (33:20):
That? You're also not a vodka drinker?
Speaker 1 (33:23):
No, I'm not so, and he's not.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
He doesn't like to spend a lot of money either.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Well, no, that's.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Exactly well, Laura, Yes, so this is going to tie
in perfectly. I do know this, and this is why
I lost my ship.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
So I I'm like, I'm going to get her good.
And Marla's hard to rattle. So I'm running out and
she calls as I'm leaving, and she's like, hey, what's up.
And I said, oh, never mind, I got it. I
got you.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
I just ran in and gave you wait wait, wait,
mind you. I said, please get me a nice vodka.
I will then moo you for it. So I'm not
expecting him to cover it.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You even okay, so you were even going to pay back.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
I'm paying for it.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
So this was this is why I thought this is
gonna be amazing. So I'm like, oh, and I acted
like I was kind of bothered and kind of rushed,
and I said, oh, it's it's too late, Like I
I just picked up. I got the Kroger vodka. And
this is where I hear.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
I literally like the word vodka. Didn't even finish after
Kroger vodka. By the way, Hey, no judgment. If that's
your jam and you're like a Kroger vodka, great, I
do not. And I screamed at the top of my
lungs like I had just witnessed my firstborn being hit
(34:53):
by a car. No, no, like I freaked out. Yeah,
and he started laughing hysterically because I didn't get you Kroger.
I'm like, oh my god, I go all I have
to say, like my disappointed in so many ways.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
One, please, your blood pressure was so high.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Probably don't get me. Don't get me Kroger vodka to
make a martini when I'm paying for it, when I've.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Offered to pay for it.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
It's something nicer. You get a gray Goose minimum and
then go up from there.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Okay, so what Okay?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I got Kettle one.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
How do we feel about it?
Speaker 5 (35:42):

So no, it was fine, but it's not what It's
not what I would have picked. It's like, I appreciate it.
It wasn't Kroger.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Did you give him a limit, like the price limit?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (36:14):
No, because I was in a hurry and I was
cleaning and like night candles and trying to impress, you know,
the guys, and I was just like, oh god, it
has to be right. I have to make a house nice.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
When I couldn't get a hold of her. I was like, oh,
I'm going to have fun with this. Okay, that was
a good one, and.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
See I was going to get very disappointed. So here
I was like, really, here's that's my gay I have,
Like I have Kmart gay like I don't have Nordstrom
gay like I want. I don't want him to bring
me Kroger my gay bestie. Better show up with a

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Wow, what did I bring you? Though he wrote you

up lovely Mediterranean food? Which he did, and and gorgeous
gorgeous flowers with eucalyptus wrapped in like brown paper with
the like you know. Okay, so yes, it was gorgeous.
(38:03):
It was like what I like. I don't like colored flowers,
like I don't like red or like you know. It
was like whites and greens and eucalyptus and wrapped in
brown paper and the whole like it was gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Okay, because he knows you, Okay, but he's.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Not the person that you ask to bring a bottel
of any heart alcohol.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
No, not at all anything.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
Alcohol.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
No, I'm actually really good with wine. Excuse I always
do really well with wine.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Has he purchased wine for you before?
Speaker 5 (38:43):
He's brought a couple of bottles that were eric I'm
going to.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Say, no, what okay, what kind of they?
Speaker 5 (38:49):
They're usually you know, I have a husband that's a

Speaker 3 (38:55):
So yes, and Eric as one wonderful and is and
is giving of his heart. He is friend, He's just
not he He and money don't part very easily.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Well, that's not it. I just don't drink a lot
of alcohol, so I know.
Speaker 5 (39:15):
But if you do drink alcohol, you can't go cheap.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Okay, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
I know. I know, maybe you know kettle one, thought
like I know people people know kettle one, like, oh,
that's a nice alcohol and it's not bad. It's just
someone for someone that like a higher end vodka martini.
You're not going to do a kettle one.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh god, I'm never bringing alcohol to anything again and anywhere.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
I'll just give you the name and then I will
then moan.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
That's that's a better idea.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
So did I then mode you for for all the.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Stuff it did? Yours?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
What is the other?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Oh? We need to talk about We need to talk
about the picture.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
Okay, wait, wait, we'll picture oh lamar lamar lamar lamarlw
Hey yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Right, now let's talk about this is I'm going to
dip out right, I'm already sweating.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
So he shows up at my house, comes in. I've
got I may have even had a cocktail for you
because you drove whatever. You know, You're like, I'm packing.
I have got not even twenty four hours with you
because you were going to something the next day and
you were leaving. He puts his phone down on my
(40:32):
kitchen island. It's a clear case and there's just like
you know, a photo of you, you and you and
you and him in there just hugging it up or
I don't even know of selfie, which, by the way,
who prints photos anymore? So whatever, you took the effort
time an effort.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
It was a polari Yeah, to print a.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Photo and put it in your phone case.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
All right?
Speaker 5 (40:59):
Then listen walk into my house. I look like, what
the hell? What the hell's that, Marla?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
I got a polaroid camera because I accidentally bought polaroid film,
and I'm like, oh crap, now I gotta buy the camera.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
And it's kind of fun.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Whatever, it just are fun, and I will say polaroid
Polaroid pictures are the most flattering photos ever.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Agreed.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
So Eric and I took a selfie after the podcast
one night, and I'm not kidding. This is exactly what
he said. He goes, oh my gosh, this is such
a great photo. I love it so much. I'm going
to put it in the back of my phone right now.
He almost jumped up and down.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
He took off his case. Oh my gosh, I'm just
being honest, took off the case. I was I was
honestly surprised, I really truly was.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
I was like, Wow, who's Marla after any of that.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
In my the back of my mind, I was thinking,
I pray she never sees this picture.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
I pray she never sees this.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
Because he took off the case, which is clear, and
he put it in very carefully. I'm like, you're gonna
are you gonna keep that in there? Like I was
kind of surprised that he did that. I was like flattered,
but like surprised. And then I thought of you, and
then I thought.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Okay, well she'll hopefully never see it.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
And then boom, literally within a week, the photo.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
The photo a Polaroid camera too, and Polaroid phone. So
I guess what we're doing the next time.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Well, let me just say, Marla, his phone right now
is completely blank.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
I don't know what happened to the photo. He probably
threw it away.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Where is he? Is it in a promise? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
I think it was cute and a cute idea.
Speaker 5 (43:05):
It was a very cute picture.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
I feel like it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean
I'm better.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
You cover from my house.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Feel the back of my leg right now, you know, Marla, listen, dcast.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
We've grown closer, We've grown closer. As friends over the life.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
And Eric, Wow, and I feel.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
I feel like the reason that he's never put a
photo of you in its phone.
Speaker 3 (43:50):
That is hence that is what I'm saying, like we
are so close now mm hmm, that he wants to
see my face every time he picks up his phone
because I mean that much to him. And I felt
really happy, and I was like, you know what, this
is great because Eric and I are so very close.
(44:12):
And then I thought, oh, maybe one day he can
stick a photo maybe on the bottom of the photo
of our us, of Marla and him, and then I'll
have his two besties in there.
Speaker 5 (44:26):
You will, Eric, Who's who's in your will? You both are,
Oh Jesus Christ, Marla.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
Look, you don't need to be in anybody's will.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
Well you lock, I do. You don't know. You don't know,
I don't know. You're right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I have to have my besties of my will.
Speaker 5 (44:49):
It's an act of love. It's not like the dollar
amount who was listening to first. If he left me
twenty dollars, it would just be you know, like.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Oh yeah, well it's not it's definitely not twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
When you rode out when you wrote out the will,
and you have to list the people that are your beneficiaries.
Speaker 1 (45:10):

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Honest to God?

Speaker 1 (47:16):
I love her kids.
Speaker 5 (47:16):
Too love him.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
My kids also love Eric.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
Yeah, we've got some good memories that when they were
little and I let Uncle Eric babysit them when my
husband and I went away on a vacation and that
was the best gotten to do things. I was like, wait,
what spending all these pictures? They were like at the
fidem Fashion Museum downtown. Wow, like posing in front of
like Audrey Hepburn's dresses in like like in glass cases,
(47:48):
but they were in front of it, posing like Spider
Man and like all these marble poses. But it was
like Audrey Hepburn's dress and Marilyn Monroe. I'm like, wait, what.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Like things they wouldn't do for you.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
He's like, I just know how to sell it and
make it cool. I'm like, oh my god, I cannot
believe you got them to go to a Fashion Expo
and sold it in some sort of weird Marvel way
and in front of like Andrew and Andy Warhol pictures
and like Batman poses in front of it. He's like,
(48:23):
I just know how to I know how to sell it.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
What is your fourteen year old really into right now?
Speaker 5 (48:30):
Oh? God? Stupid videos on YouTube and constantly yelling at
him to stop watching idiots on YouTube?
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Just or is there a niche that he likes.
Speaker 5 (48:45):
I don't know. I mean, it's it's just these people
that are dying to be famous and doing stupid stunts
or eating stupid things, or just it makes me crazy
and is feeling his head full of non sense. And
I have to take his phone away from him. I
the second he falls asleep, I like sneak in his
(49:07):
room and take his phone. I take everything away. So
in the morning he focuses, and I mean, they're all
into that. Just the constant scrolling makes me insane. And
he has pretty severe ADHD, which is that's not good
for their brain. And so I'm constantly constantly taking away
(49:30):
his phone, you know, like I have to take it
away from him, and and he gets mad at me,
and I'm like, yeah, I don't need to be your friends.
I don't care if you don't like me very very
much right now.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
That's such as a parent, I don't need to be
your friend.
Speaker 5 (49:46):
I don't care if you're mad. This is destroying your brain.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
What about your other son? What is he into?
Speaker 5 (49:54):
So he also watches He's very into He's into like
watching and was maddic too, like sports videos. They like
a lot of sports clips. Mason's really into basketball, really
into the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
Does he play?
Speaker 5 (50:13):
He did up until like a year ago, and then
as I don't. I mean, I don't know if it
was the same when your son went to school. But
a lot of these sports now in school are very different.
You public school, private school, all of them. They're recruiting
kids that are you can't be a regular kid and
(50:33):
play high school basketball anymore. It's a business. If you're
not a six foot four fifteen year old, you're not
playing in varsity basketball. You know, it's it's And they
go to private school, so it's even I mean, I
don't know with public school, it's even crazier. They had
a kid last year at their school that was recruited
(50:58):
from Senegal for cus who was living in someone's guest house.
He was six foot like six, and they're just they're
just recruiting all these kids from other schools and all
over the country and getting full rides at these private schools,
which good for them, you know, like it's changing their lives,
(51:21):
but it's changed the whole the whole sports world for
just the regular kid to play sports.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
That's so unfair and not right.
Speaker 5 (51:31):
It stinks. So you can do outside leagues, you know,
like he could do like a Sherman Oaks League or
whatever like outside of school, but they want to play
for their school, of course, really want to, and it's
not possible now if you're not at a certain crazy
level for varsity.
Speaker 3 (51:51):
Have we started, like oh, I was going to say,
have we started like the college uh thing?
Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yet?
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Yeah. So he's nine eleventh, my old one, and we
are in mid like heavy sat tutoring college like like
you know, they've got the college counselors at school and
they're working on their essays and they're you can't again,
(52:20):
that's another thing, I know. You can't just be a
regular kid with good grades and go to college anymore.
You have to build your whole extracurricular resume. And if
you haven't you know, performed open heart surgery on the
side of a freeway on a puppy with a tampon
(52:40):
and a pair of tweezers. You're not getting into the
school you want. It's ridiculous what they have to do. Now.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
You have to have like a four point six, like
something outrageous, Like.
Speaker 5 (52:54):
Well, he does probably have a way to GPA of
like a four point four.
Speaker 3 (52:58):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (52:59):
Yeah, he has probably an unweighted GPA of a four
point zero and a probably weighted GPA of like probably
like a four four.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
But he needs some kind of thing to make to
make him stand out.
Speaker 5 (53:13):
But that's not enough. You have to do the you know.
And he's done like hundreds and hundreds of hours of
volunteer work and he's now got an internship. He's done
some stuff with the Clippers with like the business department,
and he's in the broadcasting thing at school, and like
(53:34):
I can't even name it all, but it's still like
not enough, and it makes me sad. It makes me
really sad for these kids, you know.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
He it sounds like he I think he's got it nailed.
Speaker 3 (53:47):
I really like the intern thing and his his grades,
and it's just the oh my god.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
The essays and then the interviews are so right cool.
Speaker 5 (53:58):
But you would think it's enough, and then you hear
that he's just the same. And I will say he's
in that upper like echelon of kids that are super
brainy smart, like crazy smart. But then the counselors make
you realize, well, super smart's also sort of a diamond
(54:19):
doesent like, there's a lot of kids that are just
as smart as him? So what else was he going
to do? And it's beyond stressful. And you know what,
I'm at the point now. And also kids now they
apply to like eighteen to twenty school.
Speaker 1 (54:37):
That's insane.
Speaker 5 (54:38):
I applied to one. I went to Diego State the
same I did this, Like what one they apply to
like twenty and hope that they get you know, into
like four.
Speaker 2 (54:53):
For each one.
Speaker 5 (54:56):
Yeah, you have to spend, you have to you know, yes,
then it's different, you know, there's different. You know, you
put your you put your you know, the state schools
all go in in one application and the uces go
and you know, my kids do go to private school,
and the ucs don't necessarily like kids that come from
(55:17):
private school. Oh my god, they pick them kind of last.
So then there's state schools, there's u sees, and then
there's the private schools. You know, there's Stanford, there's Harvard,
there's Yale, there's you know, he's applying to like all
schools that I could never have gotten it in a
million years. University of Michigan, Duke Wow. Okay, then y
(55:42):
you Cornell like he's a smarty pant.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
We need to.
Speaker 3 (55:45):
Figure out, we need we need to cook up some
sort of story or some kind of thing that he
can do that will make him stand out so far
at everybody else like some weird thing, like nobody else
is doing all.
Speaker 5 (55:59):
Of it all right, I mean, it's all like it's
all like sort of played out now, like they've all
done all of it. And you know, and your college
essays have to be like very different and very you know,
you can't write about and I hope this doesn't offend
anyone that's listening to it. You can't write about my
(56:20):
grandfather died or someone had cancer. They're like blah blah blah.
Everyone says that, like you've got to write something about
like an essay about the most amazing soup you had
and the ingredients and the soup that related to the
ingredients in your life. Like, you've got to write something
very different and avant garde. It's crazy, you know what
(56:42):
I mean? They want that. Yes, they're like, I'm sorry
your grandfather died of cancer. It's probably a beautiful essay,
but so did twenty million other kids, Like you can't,
it's crazy. Well, Marla, you've got to write about something crazy.
Speaker 3 (56:58):
I respect you so much. Not only are you going
through that, You've got your fourteen year old who you're
trying to steer away from screen time. You are preparing dinners,
you are doing all the shopping. You are like raising children.
You are taking him tune from school. Now there's like
(57:20):
the driver's test you gotta do. The fourteen year old's
almost almost ready for.
Speaker 5 (57:24):
That very twenty Well, Eric rode in the car with
him and he got one.
Speaker 4 (57:32):
Like oh.
Speaker 1 (57:34):
Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 5 (57:36):
So mad at me when I'm in the car with him,

drive because they can take away more or an uber
or whatever. And it's like, well, wait, you need to
start driving, because it's the clock doesn't start ticking until
