And she told me I didn't have to take him off, but one day there I did take off. So, yeah, right. But I'm like, I gotta get out. I'm not leaving. You know this.
Speaker 1 00:11:44
We pray together. We mourn together. They remember none of that. I am going to be possibly into the faith, my walk with Him should begin because He was our Lord, And we're not going to be walking as He is going to be in His hands as a child.
Speaker 1 00:12:14
I'm glad that I wouldn't have wanted to go for her, you know, just because of her several conditions. You know, it's kind of my mom's problem. But it's like that, you know. So I'm glad that I don't have to work with me on a daily basis.
Speaker 1 00:12:44

Speaker 1 00:16:09
Yeah, right. Yeah, sure. Like she doesn't. Like she doesn't. Right, I don't know what's so. Yeah, And I don't know what's better, like, you know to be to go just to.
Speaker 1 00:16:39
Yeah, we're all gonna hang out with them and have a good day. And then like, I think that's just the beginning. There's about fifteen thousand people there, you know. So and and that's fine. I just like, I mean like they. 
Speaker 1 00:17:54
You call it sucks a lot. That's crazy. Sharing that with your help, I'll get through it. You steal the force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace if you kill me, you have made me.
Speaker 1 00:18:24
You might not be glad.
Speaker 1 00:18:54
Well, let me know what real power wants. I think she's tired. He really grows on you. Well, I think that there's some indication of her seeing everybody. Yeah, I don't Know.
Speaker 1 00:19:34
I am proud of how you speak.
Speaker 1 00:20:43
Materials, hands on, we make the components of these as a power source for high energy density. Some does she's trying to hide it. I don't know. So, it'll be late, like actually late in the world and try to tell her like you can find out. Yeah, He didn't need the cube to one hundred twenty million kelvin just to break through the cooler barrier unless.
Speaker 1 00:21:43
Right.
Speaker 1 00:22:12
That's.
Speaker 1 00:22:54
You're not. Is everything a joke to you? You need to focus on the problem. You think I'm not? What if you're called for it? Why now?
Speaker 1 00:23:54
It's important to tell the story of the new government.
Speaker 1 00:24:41
I Think he's trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war. He wants to look for some excuse.
Speaker 1 00:24:53
Thank you.
Speaker 1 00:25:23
And now that her husband is going home, yeah, he's just not a part of that. And she'll apologize afterwards.
Speaker 1 00:25:54
You know, I've had a cluster shot. I'm trying to crawl into my heart. If you're feeling damaged, I'm not going to be like, "Yeah, okay with that." Yeah, like you're going to clean the wall. You know that your kids want it is what it is. Right? It's like one of two things has got to happen. : either kind of like have friends with kids or should kill you. So are you saying that if.
Speaker 1 00:26:25
Like ran from the house, and I mean, Help your kids, just like how you help my kids when they're something that I don't like. But instead, They all kind of get together and let their kids just kind of do whatever. And then they wait until somebody is bad or gets hurt or whatever. And, then it's like you kind of resent the other parent for not doing anything about it. But it's like.
Speaker 1 00:26:55
I can't tell him to knock it off. You know, I can't like most of the things that like my girl and she did. You know, you know there are certain things where like yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:27:25
Wait, yeah.
Speaker 1 00:27:55
So, does she get an assessment? She hasn't done a follow-up assessment. Oh, why? It's no accident. I think that she didn't because he had like real progress, but not having him in there, that's okay. That yeah, I mean, i think and I think that she thinks it'll work out when they work that out. But I mean it will one way or another.
Speaker 1 00:28:27
I think so. I think that like, I think that she reacted well, but then she kind of was like and that later on, nervous. But then she stepped down and how much she wanted to come back. But and she also got a much. She was taking more of a. Like, do a like therapist with the time. You think you could make a little become for this? I just don't know. But these guys, these followers, it's not just power; it's vengeance. There is no pain in crisis. A lot of guys think they're dangerous stuff, right? Because that's half the battle is like what are you going to do during?
Speaker 1 00:29:26
Right, asking what him like a lot of people here. Right, And why do I feel like he's the only person on this boat that wants to be here? He's kind of like. I don't know what this is. But if he is on the side, there's anything from the side. He has new head officers in his work for social interaction. So they're looking for. And watching other kids and what they're doing, learning like right, even regulations at some point. And so yeah, because I got pink and I said I want pink. But while that person has pink, oh everybody has pink and they're not sad. Uh yes, they have to do that too. You know like they're all kind of like learning from one another. But this is why like kids. 
Speaker 1 00:30:25
Learn how to fight when they're little. Usually in like a preschool setting, somebody else is biting, so they're biting. You know, Like is it them acknowledging that it's socially acceptable because we all did it before? I let her shield and a lot on the rule, I think. So just learning.
Speaker 1 00:30:57
I don't know.
Speaker 1 00:31:27
It's really not that complicated. So, I'm happy with it. I'm very confident that you know, no, like the cat. So, I'm very confident that you know, no. Can he wipe out that much red? But he won't hold him back if I just say this story. Like yeah, I think there's something there to stop. You know, Bob told me everything is dripping.
Speaker 1 00:31:57
Gosh, do you think saving my own world just from yourself will change anything? This is the face of success and entirety. This is a child of dread. What magic he lied until in the service of lies and chance. That's her. He protects himself, not your own code. Something like this: I want to be yours, you know, like so he's like. They will never go away. They will touch your mind,
Speaker 3 00:32:35
Your body, slowly, intimately in every way you know to fear. You'll wake just. 
Speaker 1 00:32:42
Long enough to see this world filled with screams out of his skull. You're not going to stop them. So I don't know she already has the kids she already has some. 
Speaker 1 00:32:56
You know, she's on it. Like, dang, you are. I don't even have to. I'm like, we have a big decision. She's got a very good. I'm like, oh my gosh! Yeah, well like she goes. I'm planning on it. We'll do this for the whole year. So that way she doesn't have to worry about it because they make me feel.
Speaker 1 00:33:28
So, and they'll know if he was actually dying or not. So it'd be fine. Um, it was like a contingency. It's like he was given the next five games over the past few seasons in his career. You want to think about how they might not have been that way. You want to think about the environment, though. I was in tough cut; pretty close, you know, with no tension if you leave it on. You may figure out what that is. What does that happen? Because suddenly you get a little twitchy. Why shield is using the tesseract to build weapons of mass destruction? Call him so like.
Speaker 1 00:34:26
Last year, we had a. 
Speaker 2 00:34:28
Lot of people who were not able to play. We learned that not only are we not. 
Speaker 1 00:34:35
Able to play, but we also have to be on the practice team on the death team, but never get to play on the team. You're not being played by other teams. Worlds filling up with people who can't be matched. It can't be controlled like you're one court tester and one two low computers. So you want obviously I think you need.
Speaker 1 00:35:25
Yeah, we've run into that a lot. They're like they're kind of like playing it, so I think it's about all over. So we're. 
Speaker 1 00:35:57
Like, I mean, it's all about time. So they're like kind of playing with their lives. With a green light, no, We're going to just keep you here and hold you because we might need you. Sorry, no. We're a chemical mixture that makes care. You know and ultimately he does want to play with that team. You know he does like need to step away. Why shouldn't he take the risk? It was either go back here and have them sign him again as a practice player again, big man or go as a free agent somewhere else off well. You know, you may not be. You got to stop pretending to be a hero like you.
Speaker 1 00:36:56
I don't know what's special about it.
Speaker 1 00:37:24
She was like, I don't know. And the other guys spit it out.
Speaker 2 00:37:57
So probably not. I focused on helping other people. I was good. He took you, dragged me back into this freak show,
Speaker 1 00:38:04
Put everyone here at risk. You want to know my secret? They don't let me off if you want to know how I stay calm. Outside for me to sit in the room with hands and fingers, perfect feeling though why assume what they do?
Speaker 2 00:38:36
Good job, Katie. You broke it.
Speaker 1 00:40:16
Oh, I saw a dude with the way at the end standing over there. There's a little scrap and fall. I. 
Speaker 2 00:40:23
Think it's bedtime, boys. Yep.
Speaker 1 00:40:39
Oh, Looks like you're going to bed there. Hey Eric, tomorrow we need to take a shower. Hey. 
Speaker 2 00:40:50
Wifey. What are you doing? Ash? What? Can we have Benadryl for Dad? Yeah, I forgot mine.
Speaker 1 00:41:09
You got to take care of your pudding.
Speaker 4 00:42:14
Yeah, I. 
Speaker 2 00:42:21
Think he's like,
Speaker 1 00:42:39
I'm pretty sure it's Monday.
Speaker 2 00:42:46
Oh, it is Monday. Oh, you know, so. You're right.
Speaker 4 00:42:58
Get out! Um. So. 
Speaker 1 00:43:02
I have Amazon Grocery. I bought. I have a subscription. Oh yeah. Thank you. So they have been really helpful to me sometimes like but, Like, there are things that you can kind of knock down the cost of it. Me and it was like, It cost me ten dollars a month, and then I had to pay like tomorrow.
Speaker 2 00:43:35
Take a bite of Keeney.
Speaker 4 00:43:46
I'm not. 
Speaker 1 00:43:48
That stressed, you know. And obviously I'm saving time. You know, that's the convenience that I like.
Speaker 2 00:43:56
So really. 
Speaker 2 00:44:32
Could you ever go around the world? Never, great. My problem with that kind of stuff. Is it just like I was probably wrong at the time, but it was like here we get to do that in a game. You know, I said, you know, my my touch was always just as good as everybody else's was.
Speaker 2 00:45:10
You can't get there just by jumping in. Don't dive unless you know.
Speaker 4 00:45:18
This is how you get a defender to do it. See, when you're gonna defend like me, you could beat that. I can beat that. Cheater.
Speaker 2 00:45:39
Okay, brush teeth.
Speaker 4 00:45:56
Then we can play more. We'll see. What? We'll see.
Speaker 4 00:46:15
I'm not sure. 
Speaker 2 00:46:32
If I can do this.
Speaker 2 00:46:46
Yeah, I heard.
Speaker 2 00:47:19
I'm in the head.
Speaker 2 00:47:52
I'm not sure what you're saying.

He's been doing it.
Speaker 2 00:49:44

Speaker 2 00:50:10
Careful guys. You should put the ball down. Ready Ben? He didn't mean to.
Speaker 3 00:50:35

Speaker 3 00:54:47
Okay, if you don't want me to do something, can you do something?
Speaker 2 00:54:52

Please give Katie a safe ride home tonight. As she sings and is, Amen. Amen. Hmm? Cancer. He had it for several years, you know. He did?
Speaker 3 01:00:20
Is he always in the hospital? No.
Speaker 2 01:00:23
No, he's getting chemo. What's chemo? Chemotherapy, it's like radiation. 
Speaker 2 01:00:37
Hey. Just I'm asking you to know me. It's hard for me to attack him when you're attacking like that. Okay? Can I know you can still him, but trust me? You were just as much of a threat. Agree? Don't agree. Tell me what I saw.
Speaker 2 01:01:06
There's a reason why Papa started laughing. Oh, neither. See, he saw the same thing I saw. It's you know, you watch it on TV. Okay. I'm not against him. But when you choose not to let it go, you become the biggest man in the world. Oh my gosh! He doesn't do that!
Speaker 1 01:01:27
He doesn't go like that! But he just like goes here and then flops on me!
Speaker 2 01:01:32
Mmm. He's nice though, Sam, Yeah, Dad loves sloppy.
Speaker 2 01:02:10
Uh. I'm not saying Katie's not allowed. I'm just saying. Did your dad go to bed, or does he have to stay up? He's still up. What?
Speaker 2 01:03:55
Thank you.
Speaker 2 01:05:10
Kids got my fire. What? Kids got my fire. Yeah. I think he's a good kid. Yeah, he just. needs things explained to him. Yeah, I thought you were. was it no? Was it Matty? You're really.
Speaker 2 01:05:44
He's got a definition of what's fair, and he needs to understand that fairness isn't something you gauge. Right? It's just. it's right. He has a need to fix through power.
Speaker 2 01:06:13
So. I can't let that happen, and he's not being fair either. No, I agree. No, no, no, I agree. No, no, no. I didn't mean that you were being sweet. It looks like he needs to exert his authority but he doesn't understand yet.
Speaker 1 01:07:35
I'm very sad to leave my bag.
Speaker 2 01:07:39
He wanted to do what he wanted to do. Mm- hmm.
Speaker 1 01:07:54
So where's thatum. Oh, gosh. So I asked Pat to get us under this uh. Picture from the doctor and I asked him to send it to me so you could see it. Oh, jeez Louise. Yeah,
Speaker 2 01:08:08
Do you worry about that too?
Speaker 1 01:08:25
And you see how it's like kind of wrinkled there. Kind of looks like my mom. Yeah, she had to. Oh, she had same thing. She had it taken out of her nose too. And so my mom was like, She was like really wasn't one of them, but she was like I know this is vain, but I'm gonna smoke and she's like, you know how my mom does.
Speaker 1 01:08:55
I'm never getting sick. Yeah, well, I think that's what you're kind of bringing up about and looking at it, it's kind of like oh, I think, but he could have done it closer to the, he wouldn't have, you know, he had all year to kind of recover from that. So, he can kind of hang out and in the shade. And I suppose, you know, so but this is the best time for him to do it. He probably would have chickened out otherwise. So and a plastic surgeon did that? So the dermatologist, cut it out, and then a plastic surgeon had to get involved because there was like a giant hole in his nose. Yeah, So he had to like pull skin from like up here and like move it down.
Speaker 1 01:09:54
He said it was so painful because the like the drugs that they give you wore off, and he's like, standing in Costco, like holding on to like the pole because he was in so much pain. I was like, oh gosh.
Speaker 1 01:10:25
Yeah, and another person takes that picture. I think it was Russell. I think Katie gave him a picture of this. Did he what did Russell like? What did Russell say? Well, Russell was like, "Oh my gosh, do I need to come out there?" And then Pat was like, "No." That's really funny. Show Braden that picture of Pat. Pat pretty much had done what my mom had done with the cancer taken out of his nose. M hm - hmm And then keep in mind that he told his son that he gave Katie.
Speaker 1 01:10:55
Permission of it. So. He just sent. He just sent some. Well, I don't know if it was. Yeah, It was I don't know which one he sent them, but that there's that one. And then I asked him to send me the one that he had to send to his doc. So look at his nose.
Speaker 1 01:11:26
And look at that one. That's a better one to say, "I gave him." I don't know which one was done. After his doctor or before his doctor? So. This was after this was after he his um he got his stitches out of the place. And then he had to send it to the nurse just to put cream on because he got a black eye from them doing the operation. So that happened after, but, He had to like send in a picture to the nurse because the nurse was like," Oh, you need to keep putting this cream on," or" No, you don't need to keep putting this cream on." So that's this is all after. Because before he just looked normal. Right. That's crazy.
Speaker 3 01:12:09
Yeah. Very crazy.
Speaker 1 01:12:28
Oh, you just sent me thatum. thing of the. Benny fondue maker. Oh. I didn't, alright,
Speaker 2 01:12:38
I'm sorry. Take a Hank Katie.
Speaker 1 01:12:41
I like how you put this on here for the picture, it looks so much better on your phone than my phone does really? I guess well he has a newer phone and uh. I don't know if I did any, Like adjust into it or whatever, but no, they had Brayden had one of your pictures on his phone too. So, it was a good update because the longest time I had that one where they were all like standing in front of that VW bug, you know, this black gray black and white. But like they were like I think Matthew was like three or two. You know, so it was cute because they're all like throwing stones and doing their little boy things. Uh he's the day.
Speaker 1 01:13:28
That's really funny. Well played. Now, like you should have like made him wait longer and be like, we're gonna see how Russell really looks with a belly. He's like, all right I'm going in. So I was like, all right here's the before shot. Before and then. I mean I'm kind of glad you got the before shot. Yeah I don't think it'll be that bad And then after Or. You have to have that on before. After, wait. The fact that it's tiny is so cool. Oh gosh, okay. Before. After, oh gosh, he was like a criminal. He looks like he got beat up by one back there.
Speaker 1 01:14:27
It's because of his age, like he looks like he just got, like he looks like he got jumped. Give me all your money, old man. Alright, don't hurt me. I feel like every month is.
Speaker 1 01:15:24
And then one day I'm getting a picnic for lunch. Did you know? Yeah, and then Wednesday night oh, I forgot Wednesday night.
Speaker 1 01:15:53
And then. You guys get tickets, or does he have to go? He he got some tickets. And then there was something I don't know. Yeah, you're busy too. You're you're busy every night?
Speaker 1 01:16:30
Maybe you were always meant to live like you were retired. I don't know. I. 
Speaker 2 01:16:40
Can't seem to be able to do what I want, and then it's like, just say no. And then, and then I see Shelley yesterday, and Pat was with me, and then Shelley called.
Speaker 1 01:17:06
I made something. That's cute. And then, like, yeah, I'm like oh is she okay She's sad this time of year. Like yeah you might want to check in with her. Okay I was like well, it's her birthday next week. So I was planning on making her a stained glass piece about L A for like the Dodgers. Like oh yeah do that. And I was like no. And then I'll probably just. I've thought about this before. I was like, That's another thing. Yeah, I was here in the book. Meanwhile, like, I went through two classes when I started. Well, yeah, because I have a year to take it. Oh, Just want to get them done because it's a good opportunity, and it's something that will help me with like my project portfolio or whatever. Are you excited to do it though? Or are you just. I am. Like, I'm very interested in it and something that I want to do.
Speaker 1 01:18:05
But I'm just not making that much forward progress because my life is yeah consumed with educating everybody else. Yeah, it's a season somewhere they're all going to die eventually. But then like I think like my doctor's appointment, he was like, you know, really think about oh.
Speaker 1 01:18:34
I feel like a hoarder's house right now. You know, I can't. I can't visualize my things on the stage. I just want to put everything away. I want to put all my socks in the sock drawer, all my underwear in the underwear drawer.
Speaker 1 01:19:13
I tell her about all these appointments I have, all these old people to give her a better understanding. She's like, "What are you doing?" I'm like, "I'm thirty-three calendars every day." The printer's broken. The computer's broken. The internet's broken. That's what I do in the day. An AT and T guy had to come out. Yeah, I might call the AT and T guy. What are you doing? Yeah, I am going to get the AT and T guy out here to fix the internet. And then Pat's clueless, So I have to stay there because I help the AT and T guy because he was like, "Where is the Wi Fi set up?" Yeah, like internet in a box. Well, because that the Wi Fi is like on the very corner of the house. So it really go all way back to office. Did you do this?
Speaker 1 01:20:12
Not you, but it's like yeah. Well, your life that's well, they could they it was so old and they've done it so long. Yeah, I know that. They're not confusing really. Yeah, no. It's just like at one point, like like I, I watched this meme, and it was like I followed my mom through an airport, and it made me really nervous about how as a child I used to follow her through airports stuff. Like cause you know like I won't like I now start to question my whole childhood and whether or not I was just like blindly following this woman after like watching how she handled herself, you know. And it was like a woman my age. So I was like, you know, thinking about like somebody her my mom's age, right? And it's like she's like video taping her mom and mom's like, oh, you know. And it's true. And it's like you know here it is, Like my mom, you know, used to go and fly through Delta and get there, you know, she was able.
Speaker 1 01:21:12
I'm like, my mom. She texted me, she's like, "Can you help me out with this return?" I'll be on the phone and then I'm like, "Sure, Mom. " And then she sends me the link and I can't see it because it's not her account. Oh okay yeah. And then I'm like, "Well take a picture of it," a screenshot. And it's like a label that you would like that Amazon has given you. It's like hey, wait for the seller to get back to you and they'll give you a label. And then they give her label, put in the box. My grandma was like, " Y ou ' re gonna print that out and cut it into the box. And then like wait for the seller to get back to you." And I'm like, "She said yeah, I could just drop it off at any Amazon place." And I'm like, "No," and I'm like, "If they're gonna send you a mailing thing, you can't just drop it off wherever. Like you have to figure out where. Like if it's. You know."
Speaker 1 01:22:10
Oh, and I am like, "Did you buy it through Amazon Prime?" She's like, "Yeah, I think so. I did. Yeah." And I am like, "Are you sure?" And she's like, "Yeah. " Well, i ultimately lIke she bought like i lIke had to end up like screenshot, shooting her and texting. I am like, "Did it look like this when you bought it or like this? " And I said home liKe, because i am liKe mom find me the link of the shoe that you bought. Those to me like, like, and she's like, oh I can't find it. And it's like, And then she got a response back from the seller. And it was like, oh, we're in China. It's new. It's it's like New Year so everybody is not working. And like you know, is be more economical if like if you just had a text them. And then.
Speaker 1 01:23:09
He sent you the right size, or we would give you fifty percent back. You know, and you would keep them. Right? She didn't know that, But ninety five percent of the stuff nowadays is like when I click on something, it's like from China. Right? When I click on it and I look at who the seller is China, China, China. I am like oh my god! It's not like I don't mind shopping in China as much as it was like, you know, when it doesn't save time or but they makes it harder when you do a return. Right, so it's like she's like insisting that it was through time, But I'm like there's no way that like he would be getting this like return label process if he bought it through time. Well, you can have a prime toggle; you might not have built into the prime. If you search for something right if you don't specify, like if you don't turn on the prime toggle, it will show you everything. And if someone's advertising right now, right? You click on it. Right? So that's. 
Speaker 1 01:24:07
She did, but we know better, right? But she's like, "Oh, I guess." I am like, " I found the same exact like So I took like from the email that she got that she sent me. I took the description and I just plugged it in to Amazon. And like five different pairs of shoes, came up only to now different and new business out of it. Like they're saying stuff through China. And am like," Is this?" She's yeah Where'd you find that?" And am like," It's you know." Did it look like this, mom? And it's like shipping two ninety nine. She's like, yeah. Come to think of it, it just takes a little bit longer to get here. It's like a few weeks. And I am like so yeah. I am like this is like thirty minutes for me, going back and forth with her. Like where I've like at one point, I had her like and mind you she's not doing on our phone. She's doing it on our computer. Okay, she's taking pictures of her computer, sending them to me and like and.
Speaker 1 01:25:05
Like I had one point, I was like, "Mom, go find. " Just I just wanted to know if she insisted at this time for like a really long time until the end where I was like, "I found like a random pair of shoes that was on sign. They didn't even look like them. Like it'll look like this." Yeah. Or is it gonna look like this? And she's like, "Oh, the other." Yeah. Maybe it wasn't correct. But like I if it was, I would have gone back to Amazon and been like this is. Crying and these people are they're beating us off, you know, like they shouldn't be doing this. So I was going to force the yeah the payment back, But I can't do that if she's decided to like yeah go from a separate. Uh. So I mean like I am pretty like the conversation actually never ended. It just like died and it was like where is it? It's kind of. 
Speaker 2 01:26:25
Where You left off. I have no idea what that means, and I just stopped talking there. It was like.
Speaker 1 01:26:37
Okay, do one more thing for me, Mom. Go into your purchase history, find your shoe, click on it. Click on "View Order Details." Then click on "View Invoice" and send me a picture of that. And then I would send her a screenshot of what an example would look like and send it to her. I am like, "It should look like this." I said, "View Invoice" is right there in the middle. Click on that. You know? And she's like, okay. And then she sends. and then like. Some time passes by, and she goes still looking. In comes picture of computer. Is there anything beneath that? Scroll down and can you please click "view your items"? And then her last response to that was "pick up where you left off," and then she never got back to me. And I did like a like, and then she did like a question, and then I question marked my questions trying to be like mom.
Speaker 1 01:27:36
Like, click on this and she never heard responded. That's when I get like when I get a call like that, like, "Hey, my phone doesn't ring anymore." I am like, "Check the button on the side. Press down for like three seconds." Is it red? Right? What what button? I know. Am like pick it up. Like am like you just over there doing the Lord's work, making all technology happen. The and then they get an update, iPhone the newest thing is the update. Hey, I I don't get any messages anymore because everything got moved around. I can't find anything anymore. Like make it go back like, oh, okay. Now, what's the other thing like um Amazon is is I I send it I cancel my Amazon because uh they were charging me for Hulu and uh and Paramount plus.
Speaker 1 01:28:35
He's like, no. What else do we have? You're like, take me to your technology. Show me all of your apps. You know, does she have an iPhone? She does. Oh, And there's like a little air tag for her cat that she ends up throwing away and borrow one from a neighbor. What's an air tag? Yeah, because her first cat got she let out about eight and eaten by coyotes. Mhm. Yeah, That area is kind of problematic And. Then she lost the second one now, and she wanted to put an air tag on it and then ended up ripping it apart because.
Speaker 1 01:29:33
Couldn't figure out how to pull the little white tag. I think it's early signs of dementia. That's pretty strong for her if she like ripped it apart like that. Well, she couldn't figure out how to pull the clear tab, but you know, she couldn't you know, see the tag. She already lost his instructions. I don't know what she did did something to it, and then was determined to figure it out and ended up pulling the whole thing apart. I am like, how is she? That's impressive. That's what I'm like. How do you split that apart? And broke it, so she brings it. I'm like, I can't come over. Can you come over here to me? Also didn't want to get involved in a long conversation with Kenny and be over there for an hour. And it sounds like, can you just come to my house? She comes over and I'm like, oh gee, I can't do anything with this. You need to get a new air track. This thing is, uh broken open You can see the actual computer chip Like. Yeah.
Speaker 1 01:30:32
I help you. You need to buy a new one. And um, that's crazy. I wonder if she'll okay, so when you're at that point where you're kind of like losing it, like she must be so frustrated. Well, she has she can't, She worries, so I ended up. I helped her buy a new one because about a week went by and I'm like, hey, do you need to get a new one yet? No, but I had to help her do it and I was like go over. 
Speaker 1 01:31:03
Ordered it. She's in his box. Call me, I'll be over and she takes five seconds like they'll be so fast. I go up, where is it? She's like, I can't find it. The box, she's like here's the box. I'm like you opened it to me and said, you're gonna call me, and she was like, uh I don't know, and then she starts panicking, cause she stressed out now. She doesn't remember what she did with it. And I am like, "Well, but I thought he gave it back to Kim." Because and I was like, "Well, if he gave it back to Kim, there is still another one in the house because you had two. You got a brand new one. He had Kim give it back even if even if you think Kim's yours. There is still another one in the house somewhere. Where did it go? " She starts panicking. Now she's panicking. So now he's just sitting on the couch just.
Speaker 1 01:32:02
Yeah, just checked out. Completely checked out. Yeah. And then I am helping her, so I take a lot of like you know what she needs to get. Don't worry about it, we'll find it like you don't need to panic, you don't need to stress out like it's okay. Why don't you go make your bed? That's it because she's like wanting to make her bed. Yeah, but hyper focused on that one. Like if making your bed will make you feel better. Let's go make your bed, don't worry about it. And uh.
Speaker 1 01:32:32
No. Yeah, I'm like. You're the only one that knows she knew other than me, except this wall. I'm like, I saw her a year ago. Like since the stroke, I'm like he was yeah upset so it works he's like yeah.
Speaker 1 01:33:04
We could diagnose it, we could label it, we could name it, but doesn't matter what it is. Like there's there's nothing you can do. And I mean and I'm thinking he's seen his mother. He had to deal with his mother who had dementia. And then the neighbor across the street Lisa and Kristen. Um the gay couple Kristen was like sounds like she's a panicking and all that in the early like deafness, she was like. Her mother also had dementia, like it sounds like early signs of dementia. And then just even. I can't remember anything now. Like it's so frustrating. Yeah, like and like I saw like because where she was before was like okay, but now it's like ooh, what's scary? Like yeah, What are you capable of because you don't know that you are doing it and you can't help.
Speaker 1 01:34:04
And then Kenny's just a space cadet, you know. He probably, I mean, like just checked out. Like he just doesn't want to do it. I mean, you can do things right; like you have options. Go to the doctor; talk to your doctor about this. What are your options? Like what resources do you have? He probably is like, "Well, I deal with this with my mom." There is nothing well Kenny's also not a doctor.
Speaker 1 01:34:34
Yeah, disappointing because I mean. There's not there's no ability to reverse dementia, But there are things you can do to help kind of like routine memory you can go with that. And also, like one of the things too you learn how to like navigate with it, like your distraction is like kind of a part of it, right? So like if she's like hyper fixated on something, and it's something that's kind of off.
Speaker 1 01:35:04
And you know, doing it, Then you would do something kind of distracting to kind of get them away from that, so that way they're not like doing whatever they're not supposed to be doing. You know, But then get them kind of like I want to talk to like grab their mom. And like kind of start singing and dancing with them. It got her away from the trash can which was like had no reason. Yeah, you know, but like she was she wouldn't even get around it now. You know so After they were done, like kind of like dancing away from it. Like then the mom was kind of already moved on. You know, so probably just didn't want to put the energy in. Does she still smoke? Pot? Oh, cigars? No, I don't think so. Cause I was like, I wonder if that helps or hurts. You know. Yeah, I don't think she does. I don't know. Um, I don't think. 
Speaker 1 01:36:04
It's like I wonder what that what that looks like for somebody with the mental health issues. Yeah, Like marijuana is one of those things where it's unfortunately like it probably can help with a lot of different situations, but because it's not regulated, and it messes with the brain. Well, even pot so like I mean for seizures, marijuana has been known to help. But like but it's not FDA approved. Because it can't be regulated, and like I mean, the FDA. I mean, I've heard has been down the drugs before. Um, And I've heard a lot of reasons as to why the FDA doesn't want to touch them. A lot of it has to do with their politics and like money, right? Um. And I mean, And the FDA is kind of corrupt because they are yeah um but when Ben was having seizures.
Speaker 1 01:37:03
At the time before she even took them to Mexico to have like microdoses of CBD, And it was making a huge difference for like children that had like cerebral palsy and things like that. Because their nervous system was regulated. You know, and what they were doing they were like extracting the you know the solution, whatever it is, yeah. They're taking that out and they were just doing the other. But you couldn't do that in the United States because it wasn't considered legal.
Speaker 1 01:37:35
And those are the things that we should be doing. Cause there are a lot of things like that. There are a lot of properties to marijuana that are not part of like the you know part of it that probably do help. But, you know so with dementia, right, like she may be confused, but she's in anxiety, right? So what do you do? How what can you do to relieve the brain from that anxiety?
Speaker 1 01:38:07
You don't want her joked up by you, but like just more of like a calm sense, you know. Yeah. So anyway. What time, are you? Um what time are you like? Do you have something going on? Or can we tune your schedule next week? No, it was just like Monday Monday. You need to take some pictures of the rollercoaster people in here. I'll say do you need to take selfies? Oh yeah. Sunday with Susan, Monday with Mary, Tuesday with I don't know. And I think we need to make it out to some ranches or Paul and Terry's. And yeah. Yeah, because happy was getting blocked for tequila. Tom really liked it. He said, "Hey, can you make another one? I'll take it with me." So he's like making it.
Speaker 1 01:39:08
It's out and give it to Tom. How big is it? Sixteen by twenty. Oh, okay. But I'm not really sure they can do this for you. Yeah, Tom really liked it, so I was like, oh yeah, let me see what I can get. He'll make another one for you. Yeah, I'll go back. That's good. They're not there since the Sierra Sierra yeah Do, they still have just as many dogs out there as they did before? Yeah, they're starting to reach more of the, First responder. Fire. Because they have like dogs, for the peer support groups. So like after. They'll have like a, Like a fire chief or whoever will be in his station, and then the guys will like go respond to a call, and then they come back and they have like a debrief session where they talk, because then you'll see it shift up.
Speaker 1 01:40:11
And so there is this dog in there, and the dog is like, "Oh, just pet the dog or hug the dog." And so yeah, the dog is a therapy dog. And then with like Anaheim C D for instance, the woman that's in charge of the sex trafficking group. She when they do interviews with the girls especially in courtrooms. The dog is there. And then the girls will like hug the dog, pet, the dog, and then they'll feel a little bit more relaxed or open or whatever. I can see that a dog. I can see how a dog would kind of make like, oh, he's a therapy dog. Yeah, it makes you feel just a little bit more like alone. Yeah. Um and then yeah, so they're getting a lot more graphic I would say with yeah, and they do have that um the how many dogs today?
Speaker 1 01:41:11
Usually, like six to eight that are working in my training or in the panel. And then, but yeah, It's like because they're the young people ;, they're all new to functioning on their face. And then I saw one of the dogs and was like, "Hey!" Like he walked her dog this summer. So I was talking about dog. I am like, "Oh shoot," I am talking about dogging how we should have a miraculous breakthrough. Meanwhile, she had to put her dog down. We're like the OGs, we're like the original gang. And we're like, oh my gosh, all our dogs are getting old and dying. Like Tom and Carrie had to put down two of their dogs within a year because they were older. So when you die as they get older, it's like I can have a son; all these want to be there.
Speaker 1 01:42:11
Oh, that's crazy. So it's like weird to think that all of them, like the OGs, like the founding patriarch service dogs are like. Getting old and like going through the cycle of life, were they doing that before though? They were doing these. Well, they well I am like I was maybe their second year thing. I think it just started teaching up service dog foundation, and they were doing it because Tom's daughter got cancer and like he was working with protection protection dogs at the time um and then had a dog.
Speaker 1 01:43:13
Trained the dog to get therapy, dog to take into the hospital. And then like another woman, I guess got in contact with Tom. Somehow her son had a disability, and he worked with her, and then they saw a need. So then he just started seeing a need and training the dogs for that purpose. That's kind of how he got into it. And then I guess he started doing it for some other people and just couldn't turn them down. Yeah, and um And then that's when they decided, hey, let's like make this a non profit. Yeah. Um and then so then Milan was the first. Well no there were two military guys. And then I came in right with like another military guy around the same time. Right. Um. And then someone came in, we were like I wasn't the first one. But I was like within the.
Speaker 1 01:44:13
Right, they're developing days. I didn't realize that back in their third year. I thought it was more so at the time because he was doing it. Well, ;, he was doing it for a while on his own, um, not really charging anyone. It was like he didn't have the nonprofit business set up and then I think it was like I was within their second year because they had a gala before. I did.
Speaker 1 01:44:43
Second or third year of being a nonprofit. Cause when I found them, it was Cape Charles Service Dog Foundation, and so I found them under their name there. They already coined it and developed the foundation, but it was still in its infancy. You could tell they were still kind of kind of yeah because we were at the like tennis courts in like Old Orchard. Oh that's right. That's right. I forgot about that and then he moved huh. And then after like.
Speaker 1 01:45:14
There, yeah, I was in Austin at the time. Yeah, so it was easy for me to go back and forth there. Um, and then at that time, A big um donor to the Texas Dog Store bought the house in Metro Florida as a donation to the foundation. So that way they could train and have a house there and not have to worry about. I didn't realize because they had that.
Speaker 1 01:45:45
Yeah, so they had the house. The house was bought under Peter's foundation or whatever, and then they lived in it. They used to pay all like the house bills. Is that where I go out to? No, I don't know how to like it was out in Orange, and there was like a needle barrel or something out there. Oh um no that's. 
Speaker 1 01:46:14
I remember, she's always so kind of like a separate house in the front. Yeah, she's like a functioning alcoholic. Oh, yeah, But she was also she's also a big donor, and she was local for years. So I remember I was like, oh, let me just go down to Jan's house and see. Yeah um And then, yeah, It's weird because she has like she has these properties. And then I was there like vacationing. And then like her son was like taking care of like cause Dan, um like lives in has the house, but then lives in. He used to live there for a while. So he has like all our clothes and stuff there. But then he lives in not Temecula, but like Fallbrook. He's from Fallbrook mostly.
Speaker 1 01:47:13
And then, like I feel like Adrian and I were there just using the pool, And then her like son showed up to, like do maintenance on the house, or like put chemicals in the pool or whatever. Um, yeah, it's really weird. But but yeah that's that's been um. Right. Yeah, forgot they weren't orange though. Yeah, remember you showed me a little tennis court? Yeah. They did that, that training video. Yeah, but then Glenn ended up dying in New York. Who is Glenn? He was one of the guys. He was he came in from New York right after me. Um, and he was just uh like we were we were all really close. Um, cause we were like the OGs, the OG gang. And then that's when we did the whole motorcycle ride um in Orange County. That's right yeah. 
Speaker 1 01:48:13
Um, because then it was weird. That was so long ago, and I was like, I was such a baby. And then I was like, I don't know who these people are. Yeah, they made it. And, i am still in my right. I am still in my my own shell. Yeah, at the same time, I am so happy because I had doggies right and Then. It's funny because one of the donors he, he remembers me ;, he remembers Tom and Tom introduced me to him or whatever ; I don't remember no But. Then this year, he's like, oh, yeah. Yeah, oh, that's right. It was so long ago. Like I was doing the baby dance, you know. Just starting out, so it just sounds like that might have to remember him at all. Yeah, um, But a lot of people like for you, like, usually in most environments, especially like, however, many years ago, you like survived the like, you didn't live for them. You were just trying to survive through it. And it seems.
Speaker 1 01:49:12
Yeah, no. Then I just get home. Burnt out. Yeah, um, interesting. So was that. So Did Tom and Terry have a house out in Orangewood? Or did they not own a house No, they were renting a house. I think they were renting a house in this small place because Terry had a horse. Um and then she had a barn and then hmm um and yeah so They were renting, I think they were renting. What happens if they ever dissolve the foundation? What do they do with that house? Because the house was bought for Peach Creek too. So like if they ever should decide to want to retire, could have to leave that house. I don't think I, I think yeah, I don't know how that works. Hmm. I think, I think Terry's. 
Speaker 1 01:50:12
Will always continue the foundation until he does that. And Terry is like ten or fifteen years younger than Tom. So Tom's in his seventies, and Terry is. Did they get was that their first marriage? No, they were both married before. They were both married and had kids in their first marriage.
Speaker 1 01:50:42
And then they were both divorced. And then I don't know how Thomas and I met. I forget how they met. And then, oh yeah, so the vet up here Terry's daughter is a vet tech up here. So, that's how. So now that's how we got connected with that bag because the vet takes all of the people that have service dogs on dog. And uh. That service, yeah. You still go up here for that service? Well, so we well that's still a hospital. So any primary vet stuff we will, But her I only really go see the vet once a year or twice for her teeth cleanings. But when I do since she got sick.
Speaker 1 01:51:41
She had a big, so I had so they said hey when she's one hundred percent better, take her to this vet down in San Diego. So I took Savi down there. She has to get two spores like five grand. He may have to depends on and I was like, hey, look, my insurance doesn't renew until like April. Can we wait till then That's when they were down in January, and he's like. Like yeah, he's the way. I, the only concern I have is, is it I can't tell until we do the procedure if I need to take out the second tooth. It might be like it's definitely an abscess. Just make sure if it gets infected, just call us, we'll give you antibiotics. But the problem is when there is an infection, It could lead into the second tooth and then end up with a second tooth. Um so he's like yeah, we stand by your quote. We get that discussion a lot. Um blah right. 
Speaker 1 01:52:40
I've been through a lot. So then, I'm at I'm in Nashville. And then again, email and I get a phone call from the insurance company. Hi, We just uh um We just want to renew Dolly's policy. And uh, we wanted to talk to you because there was quite significant change, and they understand you might want to talk about your options. So please, please feel free to call us back. And then I check my email. I'm paying one hundred thirty one dollars a month for her insurance right now, To renew. In March. It's gonna cost me five hundred and four dollars a month. It jumped up more than sixty percent. Yeah, I know what happened. They're like, well, once you have the claim, Also, the discount for military veterans, they dropped it since they moved to California and the rising cost of like calculating all this stuff. And oh, really I'm thinking whole is not five hundred dollars you want at the end of the day, I'm paying you.
Speaker 1 01:53:38
For ten thousand dollars coverage, all I am going to get from you guys is four thousand dollars. Does that make sense to you? Is all pet insurance the same? Um, we got pet insurance. We have pet insurance through our company. So they're coming out for it. Yeah, and like I can register Nobby what?
Speaker 2 01:53:55
Was I was just gonna say yeah,
Speaker 1 01:53:57
I am like I can register Nobby under us if they're my pets and like and and I can see what our premiums are. Yeah, anyways well so that's what it is so, Start shopping around. Costco has a um, because a year ago it had jumped up like twenty nine dollars. I think it was one thirty one, and I was like, I don't use this. Yeah, well he came in for twenty one dollars or something more than years before. So I shopped around and like well at Costco, they have five go for customers. So I looked it up. And like okay, well, for the same coverage, they they're pretty close.
Speaker 1 01:54:39
Yeah, but they don't beat out what I have. I am like, you know what? I am just going to hold on to what I have. Am not going to cancel it. Am not going to switch providers. Like Fido is pretty close to what we have, but they don't they don't match it, so I am not going to get rid of it. Luckily, I didn't get rid of it because then of what happened with her internet. So then i so then i went online yeah Fido, and then was like chill only like a hundred, some bucks. Why is it? So then? Called the insurance company and said, "Hey, can we walk through my options here?" And she's like, "Yeah. " So, all the factors, it was a military. They gave me a military discount. It wasn't just fifteen percent for the X number of years. But when the actuary did all the factors for the entire state of California, they bumped down the military veterans' percentage to four percent. And then on top of that, yeah, rising costs.
Speaker 1 01:55:38
Um, inflation, the baby face factor, blah. Um, state of California just got hit just like all the wildfire stuff. You know. Um. So I said, but it makes no sense to me that you guys are giving me a coverage for five hundred dollars, and I can and I've been shopping around. Quite frankly, um not even like I've had really good experiences with you guys. I'd hate to yeah be off working with you guys yeah but I mean, why would I be to stay when I have a four hundred dollars difference? She's like, "Well, So if you things to consider is like when I opened up my policy, that was when she was four. The only thing when they do the exam, they look at her right there in the moment. Yeah, so they factor anything that happened to Dobby."
Speaker 1 01:56:37
Before that date is considered a preexisting condition, which they won't cover. So her seizures, for instance, were a preexisting condition. So they won't be covered. But anything after that, the insurance covers. So like her issue, Her growth issues they covered if she had a torn knee, they would cover that it's not a preexisting condition. Um uh, like if she had cancer before, I got my insurance also. They, yeah, they wouldn't continue to cover cancer after. So she said, "When you start a brand new we're going to rewrite the policy." So all of these so if you go to Figo for instance, if you go to some other company, They're going to look at her right right now, just for that moment, moving forward. So, you are looking at her being eleven, and you are covering her from eleven onward. So anything yeah no future.
Speaker 1 01:57:37
So, and she has complications moving forward with her stomach. You know, That's going to be considered pre existing condition, and it's not going to be covered. And so I was like, "Hey, can you take out? I don't pay for vet visits; I pay that out of pocket. I don't pay for medications." Can we take that out? Can we up my coverage? So, we got it down to like two hundred and like fifty dollars or something. Not to rewrite it, just to keep it as it is. If we rewrote the policy, she's like, "Look, We could rewrite the policy as if you were a brand new customer coming to us," just like you are shopping around with all the other companies. They would look at her, so you have a waiting period. ; you've got six months. ; you've got to go through an exam. So there is always waiting periods, but again keep in mind they're not going to get those pre existing covers. So we're able to get. 
Speaker 1 01:58:36
Down back to ninety dollars. I am like, okay, so what I was looking at before makes sense. Like if I shop around with anybody else, yeah, they're all within the same ballpark. Right? But the problem that I run into is that United and I have this conversation. Right? You know, Right? You are getting it because there might be competition because you are afraid of other music companies. Yeah, I mean that's true too, but it's like yeah you know like what risk do I want to take You know, and so it's like, well, do I want to? Yeah, do I want to? Do I want to gamble and hope that if she does get sick, it's something new or like or but the other problem is that her pee is like, for instance, her poop color is starting to turn more caramel color now rather than a normal solid like poop color. Now. And so as this continues, like.
Speaker 1 01:59:36
I've been seeing at B M S.
Speaker 1 02:00:07
I think she has hepatitis, or just be on a special food diet for the rest of her life, just like what dog is on. You know, yeah, it's offset stomach. But so I was like, Yeah, do i just Do I work with the insurance company with what I have now? And then the reality is is I want doggie to live forever. Yeah, he's you know getting older. Right? So you're kind of coming to a point where like probably at some.
Speaker 1 02:00:37
Yeah, probably no more than for the next five or six years. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I feel like and that's like I wouldn't say five or six years. I would like i think it'd be eleven. I would say less too, But I don't want to give you the one to be like. Hey, she's gonna die in a couple days. She just have to be with Charlie and it was like how dare you? Well, I just know from the experience of talking with everybody dog, like they were dogs, big dogs are not going to eat each other.
Speaker 1 02:01:08
Twelve, eleven, thirteen. I am sorry. Twelve, thirteen, or fourteen? Right or twelve? So yeah. Twelve, thirteen, or fourteen are like long. Yeah that's a long life for a bigger dog right? Um so right? So it's I mean you are really not like it's just not. It won't be forever, you know, and just to kind of give you peace of mind to be able to give her. Yeah, should she start to have more issues again? Yeah, besides, It's such a shame for you to go through all the work that you did over the summer, all for her to have like a really stupid issue happen. And then you have to kind of make a decision. Yeah, and she's not covered. Yeah, and she's not cared for. You know no You know since I told her the woman that I spoke with her as well. ; she was really nice. I was like, hey, look, this is all i All. They use my insurance for is for like life or death emergency situations. I don't need. 
Speaker 1 02:02:08
I don't need to be reimbursed for like medication. Did you ever reimburse yourself any money from the business? For myself, no, for the dog. Like when they reimburse you. Oh, so when I filed her first claim for her surgery, her first surgery was thirteen thousand five hundred dollars and over that. Um my insurance coverage through the year when I bought it was ten thousand. Oh, okay. So you just didn't no I just got a check. For ten thousand dollars, and so that's the max that they'll cover. But you would take Donnie to the doctor prior to that. Prior to that, I paid out a hundred bucks here. It wasn't worth your time to ask them to reimburse it, yeah. And because also too, I wanted to lower my premiums. I am like hey, Let me pay the max deductible. If I have a higher deductible, if something happens.
Speaker 1 02:03:08
For a claim, I'll pay that. That's fine. Put that on a credit card, but that'll lower my monthly premium. I'd rather do that, rather than having a lower deductible and a higher monthly premium. It doesn't make sense to me. So so she it was like, what's the max that you'll let me do my deductible? Twenty five hundred dollars. All right, Let's do that. Then Take out um prescription medication costs Yeah yeah Take out vet visits Okay So once we were able to find two of those. Down to like two fifty. And then, And it was honestly kind of good because Pat was sitting right next to me. He's the worst at talking to people on the phone. It's like, is that like him being proud or like he's like a grumpy old person? Yeah, you are like you need to be kind when you talk to people.
Speaker 1 02:04:05
So you got to kind of see how that plays out. You could win without being a jerk, even kind of being crabby. And like people want to help you when are nice, right? Exactly. So when screaming at them on the phone and insulting them, he's very insultful on the phone with somebody. He's like, "Listen up, Lonnie," sound like an idiot. Yeah, I've been waiting on the phone for thirty minutes, and you haven't done anything to help me out and I don't even know this person.
Speaker 1 02:04:34
Yeah, bye. It's okay. Yeah, like you can survive this and still be kind. And when you are kind, People on the other end are more helpful experience or even if it's purely selfish motive for you, Like we get the job accomplished and then they're more willing to help you versus if you are grumpy, they don't want to help you.
Speaker 1 02:05:05
A man to the dentist canceled his appointment because he got confused. Because he had to fill out paperwork, and then he called in and he was so upset. So, what happened was they didn't know if he's a hard candy. He hasn't been to the dentist for how many years? They didn't know if he's a hard candy; his crown came off, so they don't get a horn. They're taking care of him. No, that's just all done. Yeah, on Instagram watching real like hey are you call the dentist over there? He's like I am doing it. Yeah, yeah. So he finds one next door, a couple of dentists makes the call to an office. But at the same time he's got his other thing going on. Yeah calls but he's like a full service provider and like was like hey. 
Speaker 1 02:06:06
Well, why do they need to know my mother's medical history? Why are they getting frustrated trying to fill out the paperwork online? He's starting to get frustrated. I think it's overwhelming him. Yeah, and then I can't remember. And yeah, he needs to do a lot of it or whatever. And so I think he's getting frustrated, and then he kind of starts starting to get a little bit more forgetful. Yeah, And then he like the dentist like the next day, she had a dentist appointment. Yeah, the office, Okay, we um, you should fill that out. I was like, well, I started to fill it out, But I started to get frustrated because you're asking me about all this medical history, and it's quite frankly, none of your business. Oh gosh. And I don't understand. You want me to put my social security number on here? But I don't know if this is like, you don't need my full social security. I can give it to you in the office, but why would they give it to a man? Now i freaked him out. 
Speaker 1 02:07:04
I don't know if you are so secure. Like, I don't want to put my social security number on a guy. And I am out there in the backyard playing with Bobby, while he's speaking to Paul. I am hearing this conversation unwillingly, and I can hear his tone, and not going through it. And so then this woman's like, "Well, I am sorry you did not sound like a happy person." We are an office full of happy people and we're canceling your appointment. You are not um not come here anymore.
Speaker 1 02:07:34
And then he comes to find out the next day, he's like, "Hey." So, they cancelled my appointment for no reason because that paperwork well, that was for the plastic surgeon, not for the dentist. So he made a big stink over something that was his fault. That's funny. I think I am dying slowly. I am so tired. I love the cat more, but I might. because there was a silly lesson like my eyes closed. Yeah, I gotta go home now.
Speaker 1 02:08:35
It's like, it's just. Yeah, I know. All these like old people, old people. Well, that's what it's like when you're talking about Kenya. I'm like dude, like old people, like watching my dad and my mom. Like more so my dad even though my mom is a panicker You know, but she's always been You know. Like I was telling him who was it? Like I work with a bunch of architects for this met nonprofit and, A lot of them are getting really old, but they are retired and they have the time to give, so they do it. But like I am like my fifth year in, and there is a guy named Ed Bock, And he is like a very well known architect that's retired, but also still kind of does some stuff on the side. Yeah, but he like reviews all of our marketing materials before they go out. And like this year in front of like all of the like education committee, which is like ten people with two seats.
Speaker 1 02:09:33
When I sent it out, he's like, he like blasted it with a bunch of notes. And then at the very end, his last paragraph was, "You just want to start over again. " Like. And it was like regarding this huge document that was put together like for like you know, for the event and whatnot. And I just found it laughable. Like the president is now on my heart issues. She's like, "If you just want to start over," you know? Like she's like this We know that you don't get paid to do this, and it's like well I thought I'd give them the old man house now. Like it's just like kind of like I come to expect it. I said, And that's the reason why we ended up having to hire an administrative company take over this because we used to spend hours, you know, like doing this for free and putting together these marketing papers, marketing literature for these events all for this group.
Speaker 1 02:10:30
To like just completely rip it apart, and you just you know, you are you think are bad now. Try doing that yourself personally, And then being told that it's just crappy and then you should start over again. Like you are being paid to do it, you know. So I am like no, It's funny now, but it's way easier to take criticism when it's not your work. And when you did it for free than to just turn over somebody else's stuff and they go hey.
Speaker 1 02:11:01
So, but yeah, old man path. Old man path. Old woman path. Yeah, I will like to woman white woman mannequin. Yeah, like the agenda. And then I get a and then I get calls from Caleb's. So you still live in a retired life with your old people friends? Oh god, You now have to just like I don't know Caleb where you still like want to see? I haven't talked to him for like a long time. Last I know, he went to the Philippines. Yeah, it's like, Are you still going Philippines to get a sex change? What? Are we doing here? Still like. You. 
Speaker 3 02:11:47
Gotta take everything with a grain of salt. I appreciate you coming out and hanging out with me though. Thanks for dinner.
Speaker 1 02:11:59
Yeah, I'll let you know. I mean, Don't want to they're like slow rollers into figuring out what's going to happen because of all the things that I've added into her life just today. Yeah, so but I will for sure let you know what's going on.
Speaker 1 02:12:28
My new assistant. Jarvis. Oh, Jarvis. You know what's funny is that I like the name Jarvis, but it's kind of a mouthful too. That's why I'd like to call her Jen, but I'm not going to call her Jen because then you could be like, "Jen, can you carry this for me?" All right friend. Well drive safe. Text me when you get home please. Oh yeah take it with you now? Oh yes I will. 
Speaker 1 02:13:28
I will. I promise. I'm sorry. All right, night. Don't forget all your mail. I got it right here. Hi, Molly Britton,
Speaker 3 02:13:46
She's so cute. I know it's sex night. If I fall asleep, you could just go for it. Okay?
Speaker 3 02:13:59
That's your, that's your gizmo. No.
Speaker 1 02:14:06
All that coding. No. What is all that coding? It's a log. Why, what is what are you trying to do?
Speaker 2 02:14:16
Set it up. Hm? Set it up.
Speaker 1 02:14:18
For what?
Speaker 2 02:14:26
Mm I can't I think. 
Speaker 2 02:14:31
I don't think he wants to talk to me. I. 
Speaker 1 02:14:40
Think he's you're exactly who he wants to talk to.
Speaker 2 02:14:43
Yeah? Do you want her to go away?
Speaker 3 02:15:15
Hm. Oh, okay. Uh- Huh.
Speaker 1 02:15:34
We don't have pet insurance. It's something that my company offers us that we can buy into.
Speaker 3 02:15:46
Can you turn off the kitchen light? The kitchen light. Okay.
Speaker 2 02:16:11
If you want to talk. So. I assume you come down and tell me. I guess we can play it one of two ways. You can tell me what. 
Speaker 2 02:16:44
You know, what's on your mind, what you think is not fair. Or you can ask me to clarify something. I feel like I attempted to explain myself.
Speaker 3 02:17:16
I feel like it's unfair that I got thirty minutes. I feel like I didn't even do anything. I was trying to help Matthew. He couldn't get the ball.
Speaker 2 02:17:37
He was running up to it, he couldn't get the ball.
Speaker 1 02:17:40
And then he came and tapped me on the back, he was a couple inches away from me.
Speaker 2 02:20:06
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 02:20:55
Thank you.
Speaker 2 02:22:32
You.
Speaker 2 02:24:16
You want to go.
Speaker 2 02:25:33
Just because I say something, doesn't mean I agree with it. There's logic there. But the fourteen-year-old is holding the ten-year-old up to fourteen-year-old standards. He's not. Should I shove him and say, "I need it," or should I shove you?
Speaker 2 02:26:32
The way I would my brother.
Speaker 3 02:26:36
No, but I'm not shoving you. Like, not even shoving me.
Speaker 2 02:26:49
Do you want me? You just said that you're trying that you should be able to hold the fourteen year old up or the ten year old up to the fourteen year old standard since the ten year old wants to play with fourteen.
Speaker 2 02:27:05
The same thing. Do you want me? Since the fourteen-year-old decided to play with the forty-five-year-old, can I treat you like a forty-five-year-old? And this is when you say, "Yeah, sure, go ahead." I don't know. Right now are fine.
Speaker 2 02:27:46
At no point in time have I said what Maddie was doing was okay. What I've been trying to ask you to do.
Speaker 3 02:28:35
I'm trying not to have enough force, but I don't go to the force first. I ask him to stop and he didn't do anything. And like, I don't mean this to be disrespectful, but neither did you. So what am I supposed to do? What did I do?
Speaker 2 02:29:11
What would be some reasons why I wouldn't. Would a reason potentially be. And fit. Sure. Would a reason be that.
Speaker 2 02:29:42
It didn't look that back then. Yeah, they were going at it, but you know what they've been going at each other. What's your what's my I don't know. They're both overreacting.
Speaker 2 02:30:19
So, if there are reasons, and I am still human, is it possible that what you are seeing I am not seeing? So, if that's the case, what's a good way to go about this?
Speaker 2 02:30:55
And I should pay more attention. Is it typical of me to let him beat up on me? But I did. Right? So if I am doing something not typical.
Speaker 2 02:31:31
Maybe I need some help with that. Sometimes I get lost in the game too. I don't have a problem with you using your force, but it can't be to attack.
Speaker 2 02:32:01
Stop. Kicking, it's too hard. It's not right. That's appropriate. We'll find something to kick you back. You know the hardest part about that whole thing was?
Speaker 2 02:32:33
That's what I would have done. When I was your age. That's what I think too. So why am I not touching it? Hm? And I didn't realize that it was wrong.
Speaker 2 02:33:08
Let me rephrase. I didn't realize that that's what I was doing till about a year or two ago. Watching you and Ben, and I went oh Christ. What is. 
Speaker 2 02:33:49
You think he was actually. You think he was actually trying to hurt you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 02:33:56
Yeah. Why. 
Speaker 2 02:34:02
Was he trying to hurt me?
Speaker 3 02:34:04
Because he was mad at you. Why was he mad at you? Because I wasn't trying to hit you.
Speaker 2 02:34:16
Sit there again, no, or just. Well, you said he wasn't trying to get me because he wasn't mad at me. Which leads me to believe that you're saying he was hitting you because he was mad at you. Is that correct? No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 02:34:40
No, he was hitting me when people get mad at him, and then he gets mad at them'cause they're mad at him. Right. And so when he gets mad at people, he can't control himself. And he tried to hurt me. Did you see how he tried to hurt Ben? When Ben hit him? How, he tried to hit him into the corner of the wall and into the dresser? When Ben accidentally hit him into the corner?
Speaker 2 02:35:06
No, I didn't see him do that.
Speaker 3 02:35:08
And I told him both to stop. He was trying to hurt Ben. So we each had to hurt.
Speaker 2 02:35:24
So we got to work on that. But you threatening him doesn't help my job at all, does it? You going after him doesn't help my job at all, does it? Hmm? Right. So I can't see. And, if the 14 - year- old cleans up the 10 - year- old and then the 10 - year- old tries to clean up the 14 - year- old.
Speaker 2 02:35:57
Who did the bigger thing? Right, see you get all my focus as a response to what he did. Right, See, that's what I am saying here is going back to the whole reasonable argument.
Speaker 2 02:36:32
It makes sense to return fire. What is he going to do? But a short thing. Win the battle, lose the war. And he picked up a bigger. and. 
Speaker 2 02:37:11
Can't have it. That's the bigger issue. That's why you got in trouble. You couldn't let those kids fight.
Speaker 2 02:37:47
What should I do?
Speaker 2 02:38:17
I wanted you to go to bed so I could have some time here. You know, I knew tomorrow would be an early morning. I think she's asleep, right? And then we get upstairs and we start having fun.
Speaker 2 02:38:47
I don't know what to do.
Speaker 2 02:39:43
Oh.
Speaker 3 02:40:25
Trying to get him dressed, like where is not getting dressed, and was kicking the ball around. I actually talked to his dad. Then I kicked it to me, like kicked it at me. Which I don't think was on purpose, but it happened regardless. I tried to pass the ball back. And Mattie had already run up to an inch away from me and had. 
Speaker 3 02:40:56
And he got mad at me, cause he was already mad at me. And he can't control himself when he's mad. And that's what he did. And I asked why, and I don't think it was but it you say it was hostile. I was just trying to know what I did, cause I didn't know what I did.
Speaker 3 02:41:27
I was just trying to help. I wasn't trying to pick any fights. I was just trying to get Back.
Speaker 3 02:42:44
Yeah, I guess. I guess. I guess. Yes, no, right? Wait. I pretty much had no choice. Like after this is the deal, so get like that was most of the way it kind of worked. No, he was purely. 
Speaker 2 02:43:04
A accountant thing. So much are you?
Speaker 2 02:43:33
I told you stop it so many times. You wouldn't.
Speaker 2 02:44:07
It's not just service. It's yesterday's thing, right? Every time one of them says something, you need to like power that up. That can't happen. It's not good for them. It's not good for you. Can you tell me why?
Speaker 2 02:44:41
You.
Speaker 2 02:45:21
I don't know if it can help me. No.
Speaker 2 02:46:04
I mean, There could be something that goes off in your head, if you don't do it. They'll get you.
