What's up, everybody? Welcome to For Crying Out Loud. It's Crying Out Loud.

It's Friday, Friday.

I wish it was Friday. It's Monday. Yeah. Last night I was watching – have you seen this? The Taylor Hawkins tribute concert? I didn't. I saw that it's – oh my god. I got – The sun. I wasn't – I was – yesterday was Sunday and I was tired. The kids were gone, off doing their own thing. I was home alone and I was like, I'm going to watch a movie. I watched the Stanford experiment. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see that? I did. Yeah. It was good about what the psychologist did at Stanford, set up prison and guard. Made some of them the prisoners and some of them the guards. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was really good. Watch that. And while I was watching that, I got a text from my nephew, Nick, who knows I love the Foo Fighters and was like, oh, my God, Auntie Lynette, are you watching the Taylor? And I was like, how are you watching this? Where? And he was like, it's on Paramount. So, of course, I got to download the Paramount app and I'm like trying to sign in. So I have the – so I get Paramount and then I wasn't expecting – I was like, OK, I'll watch a little bit of it. I started to watch it. I was bawling. I it gave me chills it gave me all the feels like Dave Grohl sang um uh he sang times like these and and they show like him and Taylor Hawkins Hawkins Taylor yeah up on the big screen behind him and he and the audience is singing with him and he just started bawling he started crying And it made me cry. I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. So good. And then – so I was telling Nick that. He goes, oh, wait till you see Taylor Hawkins' son on the drums. And so later in the concert, they played the song here. There goes my hero. And he played the drums. He's like 16. He's young. So who was playing the drums the whole time? It was a whole bunch of different artists. Paul McCartney, Christy Hines from The Pretenders, the guy from ACD. So they all – Metallic – all like different members of bands were playing like the drums. There was one song they did with a bunch of drums behind them. It was like they showed – they didn't show the whole concert. They were showing highlights as far as I saw. So for this song, it was his son. you know I mean I could show I could show you the video but I know this is a podcast but it was I just it gave me chills and this kid killed it I mean he killed it like he can you just show a little bit I just you just and we'll put it up on our our thing this is uh the beginning

look how cute he is oh my gosh killing it okay Caitlin show the other clip he's amazing I know now we'll put it up you'll see go to our Facebook page you'll see it look at that

watch

now Dave Grohl is facing him

And he's smiling.

Oh, my God.

Okay. How fucking... I have chills. Chills. Chills. Full chills. Chills. I mean, you got to... It was so good. I was screaming in my bedroom. I'm like, holy shit. I did not expect that to come out of this little kid. Wow. That's his dad, you know. Oh, my God. It was so good.

Yeah, it was – and then – It always makes me feel kind of shitty about myself. Like when I'm like – you know what I mean? When you see like if you're watching American Idol or The Voice or anything like that and you see like a kid who's the – they're like, I'm 13 and then you're like, I will never achieve a quarter of the greatness if this person is already like, how? Right. I know. And you know it's not – sometimes it's not just natural talent. And it's like you can tell that they work really hard and they're smart. And I'm like, I'm a loser. I know. I know. How did I just make that about me? No, but I think it's so beautiful. Like Ed is dad is a drummer. So like you just go, wow, that shit is in your blood, right? It's in his blood. What did you think?

Yeah, that was incredible. I mean. That was amazing. And yeah, I'm sure you can find the video online. But for those of you listening, you should go watch that. Yes. Because I'd never even seen it before and I'm in awe. I'm wanting to watch the rest of the video now.

Oh, it's so good. So good. Yeah, anyway, it was a really like – and so Sonny, by the way, before – Sonny loves music and before he left the house, he comes in my room to talk to me. He's wearing a shirt of – what is it? He got it from Target. I think it's Led Zeppelin. I can't remember. I think it was Led Zeppelin at Wembley Stadium, which is where that concert was. And he asked me where the stadium. He goes, yeah, I said it's in London. He goes, that's what I thought. And then he was like, you know, it sucks because all the bands I love, I can't see in concert. Because he went to that shitty concert at the Rose Bowl. Right, right, right. That sucked. And we were talking about that. He goes, I would love to be able to see like Rush or Queen or Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. Like he's like, all these bands. And I go, well, you got the Foo Fighters. This is before I heard from Nicholas. I said, well, you got the Foo Fighters. Whenever they come back, I don't know if they're going to be – I had no idea. And what's his name?

Robert Plant was just at like the Hollywood Bowl.

Yes. And the singer Roger Waters is coming to town. So he said that. He goes, I want to see Roger Waters. I want to go to his concert. I was like, OK, well, I guess I'll look into it, whatever. And then he left. And then he left and then Nick sent me that text. And I was like, Sonny, when are you coming home? I want to show you something. And anyway, and then Nick was like, well, they're going to do the show in Los Angeles at the end of September. The Foo Fighters? That whole show. Yeah, the Taylor Hawkins tribute. Oh, they are? Yeah. That's what he said. Oh. So now I'm going to look into it. Now it's like Sonny went to that. The Foo Fighters should tour with Taylor Hawkins' son. That's what I was thinking.

But he's so young. He's in school. So what? Quit school. Yeah. A little baby face. Do school on the road. Yeah. What kind of opportunity squandering would that be if you were like, no, I'm sorry. I'm in the 10th grade. Yeah, I'm going to tour with the Foo Fighters. Yeah. Could you imagine? Yeah. School of Hard Knocks. Oh, my God. I mean, that would be so cool. What an opportunity. Yeah. I mean, tons of kids leave school to go perform in Broadway shows. I mean, come on. Come on. Yeah. Be movie stars. It's no different. Yeah. I bet you he is going to eventually. He must because Jesus Christ, that kid can play. He should play with the Foo Fighters. That would be such a huge draw for them too. Not that they're not already a huge draw. Right. Right.

So anyway, yeah, that was my night last night. It was exciting.

You ever scrolling through like – you're online and you see a video or you see like a link to a story. Yeah. And even though it's sponsored, you're like, this is like – I kind of want to know. You know, it will – like very clickbaity. yes because uh i came upon one the other day that was about this dog that the headline was like this pregnant dog won't give birth for like the craziest reason and i'm like i want to know

like i want to know more right like have you seen this kaylin i have not only seen this but i saw someone online like screenshotted this clickbaity article and then had it like it was like this dog won't give birth for the craziest reason this horse won't give birth for the craziest reason this pig won't get and it was just all these different animals at the same exact headline

yes

So I saw the dog one and I was like, OK. All right. I'm going to just see. I'm going to just go to the link and see if I can figure it out quicker, you know. Yeah. So also sometimes you can go into the comments and they'll tell you what they'll skip to the reason. Right. Like, you know. Right. But I go in the thing and it's like, OK, there's going to be like 50 slides. And I'm not exaggerating because you click on it and it says, OK, this guy had this dog and it was very pregnant and it wouldn't give birth and so the guy's like okay oh my gosh the guy takes it to the vet and then the the real clickbaity part was that the vet called the police and then they're like do you want to know why and i'm like yes i do yeah so i go to the next slide well then they have to take you back to the beginning of the story like they they go all right well if you want to know why the police had to get involved we got to tell you how they even got the dog in the first place and to tell you how they got the dog in the first place you need to know that they had another dog that they loved very much this man and like his wife had this other dog now their dog passed away and they wanted to get another dog because they loved this dog so much so they really wanted to get a sibling they had gotten this dog from a breeder blah blah blah they wanted to get this a dog from the same family line because they loved this dog so much so they had there was this other dog and then they wanted that dog to have to breed so they went to this they the dog they brought it to this doctor and the doctor was like i can get the dog pregnant and this is a really long story and then you're like okay all right let me get to the next slide you're like okay all right all right so then they got the doctor that vet got the dog pregnant they're like okay good to go now this dog's pregnant and then the dog now the dog's pregnant but it won't give birth okay but what you also need to know and then it was like slide after slide and i'm like my god like this is so many slides this is my whole afternoon but now i'm super hooked in right so then okay you probably wondering like what happened why didn't the dog want to give birth and i'll tell you it's because the doctor who got their dog the dog pregnant inserted a microchip to track like because they implanted the babies, the puppies were going to be these super valuable dogs. So this vet was like not scrupulous. The guy who helped get the dog pregnant was not scrupulous and he was going to track the puppies and then try to get them back and sell them for like a lot of money. And I was like, what? So I was like, okay, but why wouldn't the dog give birth? Did the dog know that there were microchips in its belly? And then they're like – and then the vet that they took it to was like – had heard about this doctor. Like it was so convoluted, right?

So then at the end, I'm like, okay, so there were microchips in there and I still don't really understand. Then the very last slide, they're like – and then the – oh, so then they figured it out and they got the puppies out. They had to do a cesarean section and they get the puppies out and then they ask the guy like, do you want to keep the puppy even though it's got – it's this strange microchip situation and – or you could sell it and make a lot of money. And the guy is like, no, I want to keep the puppy because of the bloodline and we love this – we're going to love this dog and give it a great life. And then at the very, very end it says, this story is a work of fiction. Oh my god. They're all fictional. What the – They're fictional. And I was like, I was yelling at my computer. I was like, you stole 45 minutes of my time. I was so, I was like, fictional. What the ever? It wasn't for them. Because it's all ads on every page. Every time you click, you have to like X out like whatever ad. It's all pop-ups the whole time. I would have given up the third slide. I would have been like, well, I guess I'm never going to know. Oh, yeah. And then I Googled this thing because I was actually going to talk about it like a couple of weeks ago because I was still mad. I was all heated up about it. Oh, my God. My bean was steamed. Yeah. And then when I Googled it, like Kaylin said, I found, oh, this horse won't give birth. This pig won't give birth. And I was like, oh, this is just a thing that's going around. And people like us just get like, all right, I got to know. But did you buy like – I never knew. I never found out because it wasn't even fucking true. Did you buy any ads? Like did you – did you get like a – No, no. But I did buy – A hair repellent or whatever that came up? I bought a new bra. I'm wearing it right now. It's like a – No. It's stretchy because I can't go back to the underwire bras and I clicked on a – I saw a bra ad for like people like me who gained some weight during COVID and can't fit into their bras.

and I clicked on one. It was like a pretty color. It was this color. I ended up buying it. And then I ended up getting like 13,000 ads for the same bra but from different companies. Well, I know. I hate that. So now every time I scroll on my Facebook, it's just all ads for bras. And I'm like, yeah, already bought it. I know. Own it. And then, of course, I went to another company. It's called like Parade because I was getting all the ads. So I was like, OK, well, this one's a pretty color, too. Right. So I bought another one, and it was super shitty, like quality. It was like terrible.

What is it? It's our boyfriend algorithm that's fucking with us.

I bought Sonny a pair of like cool board shorts that I saw on Instagram that were – I was like he needs new – he needs like – he needs the shorts to go swimming. Yeah. Because he's wearing the same ones over. He's got one pair. Right. So I was like, oh, I'll get those – these are – now all of a sudden Al thinks I want to buy boys' trunks, swim trunks. All day long. All day long. That's all I want to do. I was like, here, you like that? Look at this company. Look at that company. And I'm like, I don't need any more. Stop. Like, how do you stop it? Like, why? You're like, Al, I get it.

I know you love me. And I know you want what I want. You just started looking out for my interest. But like, you got to stop. That's enough of the board shorts. So I bought a pair for, no, I'm just kidding. No, I know. That's what, and you know, it's another one. If you go on to Poshmark, and our friend Tara will attest to this. What's up with Poshmark, by the way? So Poshmark is all good, you know, if you want to buy stuff that's used. So like let's say – because I wanted to buy myself some board shorts to go over my bathing suit so that my cellulite wasn't hanging out everywhere when I was at Lake Gregory catching COVID. So I go on Poshmark and I'm like, OK, let me look for some board shorts. But if you click away from it, oh, they will email you and they'll be like, hey, hey, hey, we noticed that you kind of like these light blue board shorts. How about we give you $2 off shipping? Yeah. And you're like –

Right.

Yeah. Leave me alone. Right. I can't even look at something for one second without you being like, I see you want that. Right. No, I didn't want it. I just clicked buy it. It's not even the right size for me. Yeah. Leave me alone. Yeah.

I know.

They're like, don't let it get away. Right. While you're at it, how about this coach bag? I'm like, wait. Yes.

No. I wanted to buy myself a nice purse off of Poshmark. So I bought this, like, small patent leather red, like, old Louis Vuitton for, like, 100 and something, like, 20 bucks or something. I thought it would be, like, a decent size. I get it. And it's the size of a wallet. Right. It's a wristlet. It's like, what am I? Yes! I was like, wait a minute. I paid over $100 for this. It's like for a Barbie doll. Like, it's not a purse. Yeah. Like, what am I going to do? I thought this was a – they make it. It's on, like, the picture. And I'm sure they gave the dimension. Yeah, but who's getting out a tape measure and going, let me look exactly what that size is? You're like, it's supposed to be a purse. Right. They need to put a picture of it like, you know, in real life, like with a person holding it so you can see. And a newspaper saying the date.

The date, right. So like. No, they don't do that because they know they're going to lose like 89% of their business. So I was like, and now Poshmark's like, oh, you like this purse?

You want this purse? You want that purse? I keep getting emails and I'm like, all right, I had to like unsubscribe or whatever because I just kept getting every single day an email from Poshmark.

Yeah. Oh, I'm constantly unsubscribing for stuff. Me too. Like I said. And I know we've talked about this before, but when it comes up in your email, like I have Gmail, so it comes up. on the top and it will say, do you want to unsubscribe? And I'll hit yes, but that doesn't actually unsubscribe you. You have to actually go down. And they do this to you on purpose. You can't unsubscribe where it says unsubscribe. They're tricking you. They're like, you thought you unsubscribed, but guess what? We're going to send you twice as many. You actually just changed your preferences to like 1,400 times a day. So you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the email. And then it says it'll be in the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest letters, even way smaller than the ones at the top right it'll be like do you want to unsubscribe and then you're like yes so you click on that and they're like oh you want to change your preferences that's a no right i don't i want to you to another yeah yeah yeah it's oh i was trying to cancel out of and i i should just tell you so we had a we had a product uh-huh do you know what i'm gonna say i think so so we had a product something that we were doing ads for and um we had to give our payment information, which was like a year ago. And they said, no, no, no, don't worry. It's free. You just have to put your payment information just so that we can clear shipping or whatever. And after this, you remember, Kayla and I was like, no more, not doing that anymore. Yeah, I'm getting – So they kept sending me the product and I was like, I guess they're sending me like six months' worth of this product and they kept sending it to me. And then it turned out, no, they were like, oh, hey, your card was declined. You need to update like your expiration date and you need to update your card. And I was like, the hell I'm going to update my card. And then it turned out they've been charging me for an entire year. And then I was like, well, OK, first of all, even though my card is not working anymore, you know, leave it to these people to figure out, like to just keep trying it until they're like, all right, we'll let you, you know, so I go to cancel. They won't let you cancel. So they're like, not so fast. They're like, if you really want to cancel, you need to talk to the dermatologist first. And I was like, the hell I'm talking to a dermatologist? What? Right. And then it's just they're trying to trick you. They're trying to get you to not quit. So I'm like, no, no, no. So then you go to their payment page. And then there's small, small letters. They're like, do you want to cancel? You hit yes. Then they go, how about you talk to the dermatologist? No, I want to cancel. They're like, how about we just send you, how about we send you, how about you just put it on pause?

Uh-uh.

No. I want to cancel. I know. How about we just give you 20% off? No. Right. Ah, how about? I know. And then they're like, do you really want to cancel? And then they're like, okay, one more step. We have to verify your cancel. You know, they're probably like, just give us your PIN number to your card. Just give us the new card and then we'll let you cancel. It's like, all right. Oh my God. It's maddening. I have this whole issue with credit cards right now that's – first of all, let's talk about something. So speaking of concerts, LB just went to the weekend at the SoFi, I heard. I know someone that went to that one too. I know people that went to that. Yeah, but guess what? LB went on Friday night. Oh. Not on Saturday night. OK. OK. So LB goes to the concert and first of all, her school was off on Friday. They had a four-day weekend instead of a three-day weekend. So she wanted to get a new outfit to wear to the concert, and she dragged me to the mall with her. You know, listen, you don't have to ask me twice. I was like, go spend time with my girl. Yeah. And it was really funny. I thought you might appreciate this.

you know this girl is all about like she she she used to be so modest and now she's just like hoeing it up you know and i had it was everything i was like don't don't like if she's feeling good about her body let her feel good about her body like it's not for me to be like oh you're really going to wear that out? Shouldn't you be covered up?

more. The only thing I did say, she wanted a little skirt. She wanted to wear a skirt and like a halter top. Like she wanted to really do it up. And I was like, okay. And then I found myself kind of getting in the spirit of the thing. And I was like, look at this, this is pretty slutty. And she would just laugh and she was like, oh yeah, that's cute. I was like, look at this top. This is a ho-wee. She was like, yeah, that's cute. And then anyway, so she ended up picking out an outfit and i'm telling you i was so good about the only thing i was like do you think you might get cold and want to like just bring something a little cover up like for when you're and she was like no probably not it's pretty hot out yeah i know i said the same thing to natalia the other day she was going out and i was like oh okay like a trench coat yeah like don't you want to get a where's one of your oversized sweatshirts like a hoodie yeah she's I was like, Mom, it's 110 degrees out. I was like, yeah, but you're going down like to South Bay. The sun's going to go down. It's going to get cold. Inglewood's a little chillier. It's a balmy 98 at night. So the other news is that she was like – she was going to drive. And I was like so freaked out for her because I'm like, oh, you're going to drive to Inglewood with her friends because she's been driving a year. So she's legal after 11. And I think I might have told you this last week. I was – but I was like, OK, you're going to – she was like, I'm going to go to my friend's house and we're all going to get the car. We're going to drive to Englewood. We already pre-bought a parking space. You pre-buy parking spaces now. I didn't know that. Yeah, that's good. She gets to save the trauma that I always have when I'm like, wait, we're at UCSD and we're 18 miles away from the actual campus and then I have to download an app? What? She's mature. Bypasses all that. They got themselves – so anyway, I was like – this was me projecting my own neuroses. I was like, OK. But like first of all, make sure you take a picture where you're parked. Oh, I was thinking. Not that she's going to get murdered like in Inglewood but more like – but what if you can't find your car? Yes, yes, yes. She's like – but you know what was great? She kind of understood it. She was like, Mom, don't worry. I'm with – my friends that I'm with are the same way. Right. We're going to take lots of pictures of where we're parked. We're all like on it. I was like, okay. But a lot of times when somebody else is driving me, I'm like, whoo, right, bro. I don't have to worry about anything. I'm like, where do we park? Right. I know. Who cares where we are? I don't know. I don't care. Get out of the car. Start walking. I don't think twice about it. I'm like, you got this. Yeah, you're driving, not me. I know, my problem. And then we have to go back and I'm like, what? I don't know. I don't know. Problem, problem. Who's got the problem? So Elvie was like, no, mom, my friends are not like that.

I told her that. I was like, Elvie, I'm just saying. Right. I don't really care where people park when I'm not the one driving. She's like, no, no, no. But my friends were all paranoid like that. And I was like, and if you're going to go to the bathroom, like go in – you go together. Yes, yes. Like do not – I don't want you leaving the herd. Like don't be off by yourself. I don't want you going to get like a pretzel, like I'll go. No. She was like, don't worry, mom. Leave me with this. Anyway, so they went and they had a great time. And the only thing I will say about my own paranoia was that she went – her phone was not charged up. But she knew I was going to be worried about that. So she was like, mom, I know you know because I go on Life 360. My phone is about to die. She goes, but don't worry. Like as soon as I get back to the car, I'll charge it. You have her friend Hannah. I have her number. She was like, it's all good. So then she texted me when she got back to the car. She was like, I'm in the car. It's all good. And then I went to sleep. And then John like followed her. Right. Watched her drive home. He was like, of course, they're stuffed at McDonald's. He's like giving me the play by play. Yeah. Yeah. OK. So she gets home. She's like, everything was great except for we have like the worst seats. We were so far away. Right. Next day, another one of her friends was going to her friends and they got these bomb seats. And she was so jealous. She was having the worst FOMO. She was like, oh, my friend got tickets and they got like amazing seats. And I'm like so mad. They didn't even spend that much more money than we spent. And then she came home and she was like schadenfreude. She was like, mom, guess what? The weekend bailed after like two songs. I know. And didn't he like show up two hours late? They started the show from what I heard, like, really late, two hours. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he was late for her night, too, though. But yeah, apparently the second night, the opener came out, performed. Right. Some producer.

And then The Weeknd finally came out, yeah, and then played a couple of songs and was like, oh, my voice.

Ah, that's so awful.

Sorry, I can't give you the show. And Elvie was like, mom, there were like massive amounts of like celebrities there. Like it was like – Oh my god.

That's awful. Wow. Yeah. Did you hear any other gossip about it? That's all I heard was he was really late and did like two songs and that was that.

Well, remember when he played the Super Bowl?

Yeah.

I was like, hmm, overrated.

Doesn't he only just have like one song? I don't know. Does he have like a whole album collection? I don't know. I'm sure the kids know, but I only know one song. I mean, I do think I do too. Save it for a day.

Save your tears for a day. I don't know. It's like not a good song. I don't like any weekend songs.

Yeah. I don't even know any. I couldn't tell you the names. I just – I've heard like in the car, I'll look down when a song is on and I'll see

the weekend. Yeah, you hear a song and you're like, I don't like this song. And then you look and it's like, oh, of course, it's by The Weeknd. Yeah.

I have the same problem with Post Malone. So there's one song and it circles. Like that song. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that song. Yeah, I like that song. But then I was like, so maybe I do like Post Malone. So I started listening to other songs. I was like, ugh, blah, blah, blah, next, blah. Like, it sounds like he's auto-tuning himself constantly.

Like, errr, errr, errr, errr, errr, errr, errr.

Oh, that's like a thing. That's a trend in certain songs and I hate it.

I hate it. It's horrible. Yeah. That's not music. Don't condition my children to that horror. That's bullshit. That's horrible. Yeah. I don't want my kids listening to that.

And then don't you feel sort of old when you're like, you like this? Like then I feel like I'm like some grandma going, get off my lawn with that music. Modulate your voice. Yeah.

I would rather hear wet ass pussy. At least like you could – like she's like song – like she's got lyrics and stuff and whatever. But like with the auto-tuning, it's so awful. It's really bad. It's – and I don't want my kids getting – like listening – like thinking that's okay. It's not okay.

You know, last night I went to a little – I went to a barbecue last night. Yeah. It was really fun. And the – one of Elby's friends – Elby couldn't go because she was at work. But I was with a bunch of my mom friends and a bunch of their teen kids did come. The teens. Yeah. I sound like I'm in up with people. Right. Hey, teens. Right. So one of those teens offered to drive me and my friend Cecily home and we were laughing about it because so we're like i don't like driving with teenagers like i don't like you know he hasn't had his license a full year right but we were like but he was this was so cute he was so into driving us so he was like you guys his name is jack he's like the sweetest kid he was like do you guys want to drive with me because our other front the parents were going to drive us but we were going to have to crowd in to their like ford flex with we were going to be like you know six and seven passengers yeah so we're like i was like all right and he was like you will you'll drive with me how cute oh cool and then so he goes oh if you guys drive with me then my girlfriend can drive with me too because her parents don't let her drive with me because i haven't had my license a full year but since you're licensed she can drive with me so i tell the parents of this girl i was like they said all right and i was like don't worry i'm gonna backseat drive right you know i'm gonna make sure things are on the up and up so we get in the car and we were laughing so hard first of all it was so cute because it was such tea he was he was like yes let's go yeah that's cute and then he was playing old rolling stones and david bowie it was all like music we love that's awesome it was all from my art and cecily and i were like oh my god like you have good taste in music he's like this is all i've been listening to lately i I don't even like the new shit. But I forgot what the Bowie song was that he was playing, but it was like a great song. He was like blasting it up. And then we started having so much fun. I was like, we started giving him like telling him really bad driving tips. Like we were like, all right, change lanes. Don't check your blind spot. And he was like, shut up, you guys. We were like, throw on the brakes. No reason. Right. I was like, I'm sorry, but I told your mom I was going to help with the backseat. Speed it up. Beat it up. We're late.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

It was really finished.

There are few things more fascinating than a child's imagination. You'll see it in the castles, the cities, and the spaceships they build, turning a few blocks into entire universes.

It's weird that boys have good taste, from what I'm experiencing, have better... Yeah, it reminded me of Sonny. Yes, and Sonny's got friends that like that music too. So boys have better taste. I don't know. From what I'm experiencing, Natalia's side of things and Sonny's side of things, way better to be with Sonny and his friends in the car than Natalia and her. Although I will say Natalia's been listening to a lot of Elvis a lot. So that's good.

Yeah, but the thing is like when we were kids, kids, like when we were teenagers, Oldies to – like what's oldies to them would have been like us listening to like – Sonny figured it out, like the 30s.

Yeah, which is like what? Because he's listening to like the beginning of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin and he's figuring out the timeline and he was like – so when you were 16, if you were listening to music from the 30s, he said.

Right. But let's even be more generous and go like when we were like in the 80s, let's say we were listening to music from the 50s. That would suck. I remember me and my friend found these old songs. One of them was called Black Slacks and we would make ourselves listen. It was our mom's old records and we're like – it goes black slacks, black slacks. And we're like, oh, this is fun. Like we would listen to it but not like out with our friends. Right. We're not going to be, like, listening to it for pleasure. Right. Of course. We were, like, making ourselves, like, wide in our, you know, we love the fact that we knew certain songs that were from the 50s, and that was only 30 years prior. Yes. I know. I know. I know. It's weird. I know. Like, we never would have been, like, listening to, like, these band leaders and Lawrence Welk, though. Right, right. Imagine if we were like, oh, this music from the 30s. Put on some Lawrence Welk. Right? Yes. But these kids are having, it's better. I think our age of music was better. I agree. And it still sounds – I feel like it still sounds almost sort of modern. Yeah. Right? Yeah, absolutely. Like it doesn't sound super – or does it just not sound dated to us because we listen to it? Well, I don't know because the kids are – the boys are listening. You talking about that? Yeah, I'm talking about like our kids listening to like Rolling Stones. Does it sound as dated as like when we would turn on 50s music? Yeah. I don't feel like it's – I don't think so. No, it doesn't. Right, Kaylin?

No, I don't think so. I mean, you know, just because that kind of music was just some of the best rock that was ever created, whereas that 50s music was, like, just such a completely different style of music. Right. You can listen back today, and it's like, oh, it's just like a rock band would play today. That was just what set the tone for it, whereas the 50s music was, I mean, that was just different music entirely.

Yeah, that's, yeah, it's true.

I mean, when I listen to those kinds of songs, I don't think, like, oh, this is oldies music at all. But if I listen to something from the 50s, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is – yeah, that kind of doo-wop music is like, OK, this is kind of oldies music.

But then everything now has like some kind of like a hip-hop bass. Right. You know, some kind of – Yeah. And I don't mean a bass, like a bass guitar. I mean like the bass of the songs is a lot of like – it's a totally different genre it feels like.

Right. Right.

Yeah. But – I don't know. Yeah.

Oh, my phone is blowing up. Who's calling you? Because it's, you know, it's a holiday. The kids are calling me. Work is calling me.

So update on my kid's school. Yes. I think it's still – it's going well. Yeah. So when Sadie went to Portola – now I say the name because who cares? She doesn't – you guys don't know. I mean she doesn't go to the school anymore. I think Dawn went there. Oh, really? Yeah. The typical big middle school in the valley. Right. So when she was – when she went there, it took her – I got to say like at least seven months before she even had one person who she – I found out she was speaking to that invited her to do something. And remember it was the girls – the Build-A-Bear?

Yes.

The Build-A-Bear clan? Yeah. So now she's at this new school and the other day she was like, hey, can you take me to the mall? I told you this on the other show because Elby took her with my friend.

uh and i was like okay and i think i just assumed her friend was from back from the other school and anyway so i went and picked them up at the mall and this girl was like adorable like the cutest like sadie's height yeah and little glasses and like a little bit of makeup and like cute earrings and like i don't know she was like such a normal like cute kid yeah and um and they were just like chittering in the car like a nice girl but um i did want to say this and i hope none i hope none of these people you're gonna you're good you're gonna totally understand what i mean but like what is it with other parents that don't volunteer to do jack shit i i don't understand none of these kids ever and i'm grateful i just want to say i complain because it's a podcast Right. Right. Wouldn't it be really that entertaining if I was just like, I just want to tell you everything I'm grateful for. So like I'm grateful that my kids are starting to have some friends. Right. But I just want to vent about the fact that like they never ever have rides anywhere. Yes. Because either we pick up and take home or nothing or they don't make the plans.

I was in the same boat as you. Same thing. The parents just don't. Where are these parents that are volunteering? How come I'm the one that's always going to pick them up? I mean I must have driven Sonny and Natalia to Disneyland and picked up a bunch of times over the summer this summer. Where's these parents? Your kid's going to Disneyland. You're just going to let the other parents just take care of it? Like what do you think? What's going on?

And by the way, so Sadie said, hey, can we pick up my friend? She doesn't have a ride. And so Elby went, found this house, picked the girl up, took her to the mall. You'd think maybe the parent would be like, oh, well, I'll go get them at the mall and drop your kid off. No. Not only that, but I start getting texts from Sadie like later on going, hey, let's call this little girl like Susie. Hey, what time are you going to get us because – or like she was like, OK, we're ready to be picked up. And then before I leave, she's like, hey, what time are you going to get here because Susie's mom wants to know like what time she's getting home. And I was like, bitch, well, then have Susie's mom come get you. Right. That's the other thing. But I'm like, fine. So I go, well, I don't know. I'm leaving right now. I'll probably be there in like 12 minutes, 15 minutes. And then whatever time it takes to get her home. I don't even know her address at this point. I don't know because I hadn't checked. OK. So I go. I pick them up. I go, all right. You can tell your mom will be home at this time. I get the address. I go. It's even a little bit hard to find. I drop her off, pull in the driveway. She gets out of the car, goes up to the door. I see a person open the door, doesn't even poke her head or go like, thank you. No acknowledgement that somebody like, I was like, am I Uber? Right. It's so weird. Did your kid just take an Uber? Because otherwise, your daughter is with a new friend. Like, you don't even know the parents. You don't know anything about it. She just got to ride both ways. You can't even poke your head out and be like, how about a way? How about, I don't care if you flip me off. Acknowledge that somebody just gave your kid a ride home.

I know. I know. It's so bizarre to me. I would also get the, hey, can you take us to the mall? Okay. Can you pick us back up and get my friend home by 7? Because she needs to be home by 7. Right? What is that? Why? Well, it's like, well, then have her mother come get her. Right.

Why do I have to do it on her timeline?

Right.

But then I feel like I have to because especially with Xander, he's been working on having more friends. Right. So I'm like I feel this way about like, well, beggars can't be choosers if he's like, well, this person can come but they can't – their parents can't drive them. It's like, all right. Well, I guess we'll have to – if it's going to happen, then I got to go pick them up. But then same thing. Then you get them somewhere and it's like, well, they can't pick them up either. I know. Like they can't like – no. And it will be freaking far. Yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's another one from last night. Xander's friend. The girl needed a ride back home and it was – John had done the first leg of the drive because I was at this barbecue and John's like, by the way, like when this girl needs to be taken back home, it's far. Like it's really far.

That's bullshit. It is such – you know what else too like Natalia will do? We're going to go to the – it's Saturday. We want to go to the mall. So can you take us and pick us up? And then I'll go, I ain't doing both. I'll take you but then somebody's got to pick you up or I'll pick you up but somebody's got to take you and then she's like well nobody can do it and I'm like well then you can't go and miraculously little Susie's mom will come and pick there's but for the most part that I've tried that a few times and then it's like they can't go because they don't have anybody going and picking them right right I don't get it and then my kids will do nothing right and it's a Saturday or it's a It's like, don't tell me you're that busy. You can't. Right. And then.

And I'm like, well, I'm not that busy, like even though I am because I'm like I'm trying to write a book. I've got like, you know, other kids that I'm trying to deal with. I might have like a podcast. I have to like teach a class. Like a lot of times when I'm teaching, then I'm just like, I'm sorry, I'm out. Right. You got to figure it out. Yeah. But if I'm not teaching, then I'm like, I don't know. Speaking of teaching, by the way, I have a Tuesday class that still has some openings. If anybody wants to take my memoir writing class, which is so super fun, it's memoir writing. I'm going to teach you how to write about your life. It's really fun. There's swearing involved. It starts at 5 p.m. The Tuesday one goes from like 5 to 7 Pacific time. It's over Zoom. Just reach out to me on Facebook or Stephanie Wilder Taylor at gmail.com. You can get more info. It starts September 20th. Oh, it's coming up. Yeah, it's coming up in the next couple of weeks it starts. So do that. All right, everybody. Well, thank you. And yeah, you're a parent now. Don't have it up.

It's a good day in letting go.
