[B]

Okay. No.

[A]

Hey, girls.

[B]

I can't function.

[A]

I'm already having the best day ever. This is how we should celebrate birthdays around here. It was so much more enjoyable. You know what I'm saying? I've also. I've also taken away the ability for you guys to even try to do something even if you wanted to. Because I hold the key. Yeah, to this office. You guys used to be able to sneak back to that shed and. No more. No more.

[B]

All done.

[A]

I told Lizzie, we're old, we're 50, we have children. Let's just like celebrate with the love in the room, you know, let's go have a delicious lunch and really get a dessert.

[B]

God bless.

[A]

But I walked in and this truly feels like my birthday. Today, the day that we're filming, you gagged me and I filmed it for the. She was like, this isn't for camera. But I was already rolling on the after sip, so I was like, it's for camera now.

[B]

Let me grab a wheelie chair.

[A]

He said, uhhuh. Because I.

[B]

That's how you know he means business.

[A]

It was this be. I've never received, like, I've in Ralph Lauren as a gift, but I've never had it, like, gift packaged by Ralph Lauren himself.

[B]

He did come down and he studio and wrapped it.

[A]

Rodeo Drive. He was like, let me get in from Florida or wherever he is. And he was like, let me package this for this gay man. And oh my God. Oh my God. I gooped and I gagged.

[B]

Fuck, it's a goop.

[A]

I don't know. It sounds like I.

[B]

You need to change your pants.

[A]

I might. No, I'd be wearing it right now if it didn't clash with this purple get up.

[B]

It does in fact clash with the purple get up.

[A]

It's a beautiful green cardigan with buttons.

[B]

Buttons which honestly wasn't sure he knew

[A]

how to do buttons, but I really figured out those buttons real quick.

[B]

Little quick thingies.

[A]

I'm a professional man with buttons.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. But Lizzie this morning, she was like, I'm running late. And I was like, that's the opposite of a birthday gift. And she goes, it's stupid. I don't even want to tell you why I'm running late. It's my ring. And I was like, the present that I got you is now causing problems for me.

[B]

Isn't that crazy? Just so wild. I had the same thought. I was like, wow, he's. I literally had that same thought he's going to have that. He's going to be like, the president got you. Is getting in your way.

[A]

Isn't it crazy so well that it just, like, rings in your head how I'm going to respond to something?

[B]

Yeah, it does. And then I was thinking, well, really, the gift is for you, because now I'm not getting pregnant. Do you know what I saw on the Chuggar Chat?

[A]

No.

[B]

Somebody had the audacity in the Chugga Chat to my face to say, they're over my pregnancies. Can you believe

[A]

James? And I think she's more enjoyable pregnant. Is that weird?

[B]

No, I think I'm awesome.

[A]

I think once the baby comes out is when it gets a little more challenging because, like, you're more in demand. You're more in demand. And, like, we still want you, too. So, like, pregnant, you wonderful.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

We get. I would say we get the best of you.

[B]

Thank you so much.

[A]

You're the loudest. I don't know. You've been pretty loud lately. Lately. So I guess you're just uniquely you, no matter what.

[B]

I can't help it. And honestly. Oh, now we're drifting to the other side because I overcorrected.

[A]

She also tried to piss me off with her outfit. She was like, you're gonna hate my outfit. Here I come.

[B]

I did think he was gonna hate my outfit.

[A]

No, I like it. I think the color palette suits your color type. I don't know. I've never seen your color analysis, but

[B]

we should do a color analysis.

[A]

What's that gonna do for me?

[B]

Stopping us.

[A]

Me? Why would I do that? What's that gonna benefit me?

[B]

It's just so fun when we. When it finally lands and we go, ah. You know that moment, the aha moment.

[A]

We could do that for an after zip.

[B]

I would love to.

[A]

I guess it would be. I already feel like I know which colors I look good in, but Fine. Yeah, we can get double confirmation period. And then I look to my right. It was my right. Now it's my left. Chris got me a beautiful. What would you call it?

[B]

Chocolate box. I was gonna call it chocolate.

[A]

A bouquet, like. Like something more sophisticated.

[B]

Well, it is a box of chocolates.

[A]

Okay, well, he got me, like, literally chocolates. And then Lizzie's like, well, my boobs hurt. And I was like, well, then let's just chug some chocolates while you pop. So we're a few chocolates deep.

[B]

And honestly, I think I'm already crashing,

[A]

like, oh, God, I told Lizzie, no cake. No cake. And she goes, I feel. Well, she scared me this morning because she said hi. And that only means drama. That means, like, a kid sick, she's not coming to work. Or like, my day just got really hard in some way, and she's on silent. So, like, I'm going about my day. It was sunny from the jump this morning.

[B]

A beautiful night.

[A]

It's a new week. Like, I had a really hard week last week, and I just felt like my morning was going smooth. I felt like I had a new lease on life this morning. I had, like, a little bit of a pep in my step. My kids were in a great mood. And then I get a high.

[B]

And I was like, oh, damn it. What?

[A]

Well, I was like, this could only mean something bad. And she goes, well, I fear I just broke Chris's heart, but it was from your own demands. And she was like, chris was gonna get you a cake. And I said, don't you dare. And I said, honestly.

[B]

Well, I said, hi, because if you had said hi back, I would have said, would you like a cake today? And so I was waiting to respond to Chris until I heard back from you. But then it got to the point where I just had to respond to Chris.

[A]

And when I finally responded to her high, because it had been a lot later, I was, like, enjoying my morning. And she's on mute so I can enjoy my morning.

[B]

You've said that three times already. I get it. We get it.

[A]

If you need me, you can call me, but no, come through.

[B]

No, they don't.

[A]

They do.

[B]

They do not.

[A]

They do. I promise you they come through. Unless it's. Unless it's 12am to 8am then nobody's calls come through Unless you're Shane or my nanny.

[B]

You only go on mute from 1212 12.

[A]

I'm a person that recently figured out how to use do not disturb, and it's every day from midnight to 8am who are you calling me?

[B]

Oh, you would never know.

[A]

Lizzie Gordon.

[B]

That's so nice. So you're just actively ignoring me when I call them? Well, it's not a passive ignore.

[A]

I think I really quickly double tap you. Which means you knew you were ignored.

[B]

Well, that's why I thought I was on mute.

[A]

And then I'll immediately. You just call me at the worst times.

[B]

That's fair.

[A]

It's like you're. What's the worst time of day? I could call this man. And that's when you decide to call me and I'm always like, can't talk. Come over because you're sucking a day. No.

[B]

Oh, what's the worst time?

[A]

Although I did just watch her nipples in full HD sunlight and I was like, this is something else.

[B]

This is why you're gay.

[A]

This is why I'm gay.

[B]

Most straight men love a hot dog length nipple.

[A]

I didn't know that. A misconception I had is that nipples aren't hard. Like, I know, like when you're cold, they get like, stiff. Yeah, but it was like an erection gets hard. Sorry, I didn't realize.

[B]

Chocolate crash.

[A]

Do you need another to stay alive? Do you want to know?

[B]

I might need another one. Another one? It's my best friend's birthday and I'm exhausted. I just need a little chocolate bump. Thank you.

[A]

But I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. And then so I text Lizzie and I was like, what is it? And it took her way too long to respond. I'll choose one in a second too. And then I like, five minutes passed that she didn't reply to, like, my reaction to her high. And I said, okay, you're really starting to stress me out. How bad is it? Oh, thank you. Never seen mail come here. Like that. Hold on. Which one do I want?

[B]

I don't know, but I think I got caramel.

[A]

Do you not like caramel? What are these, like, thin mint businesses going on?

[B]

Maybe a cookie.

[A]

Let me see out of the whole one.

[B]

Straight caramel.

[A]

Oh, straight caramel.

[B]

They're good.

[A]

So good. And I got my coffee a little bit. I'm. It's my birthday. It's not. But like your box, you put it back and try another little bite of it. Well, he said what? He said. For real? Okay. Unfortunately, all I've been doing is eating this past week though. So, like, good for him, good for me.

[B]

You gotta eat.

[A]

So it was in fact Lizzie telling me Chris was just gonna get me a cake and then she said, I told him no because I know you don't want a cake? And I was like, thank you. Sorry, Chris. No, it's okay. I'm glad you told me. But this is a nice surprise. And honestly. Mmm.

[B]

Chris, thank you.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Thank you, Chris.

[A]

Thank you, Chris. Thank you for your service. So I'm having a great day. How's your life? You're a mom. Happy Mother's Day.

[B]

I was like, what? Can you see my titty again?

[A]

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

[B]

Thank you. Thank you. No, I love my husband.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's crazy.

[A]

Seems performative.

[B]

No, I love him.

[A]

What did he do?

[B]

I'm just realizing that we have, like, at our core, all of our huge problems are miscommunications and him being a man, which is difficult for all men, I think for all. All straight men out there, God help you, because, wow, you do be men, and you know what I'm saying? But no, like, I truly. I love that man.

[A]

Okay. So how was Mother's Day?

[B]

He's a sweetie petit.

[A]

Cool. No, I agree with you. I'm on, like, a Joe train right now. And we're going straight to Joe because even he was. He went out of his way to tell Lizzy, hey, Liz, I think. Does he call you Liz, or is that only me?

[B]

I don't know if he even uses my name. Is that crazy?

[A]

I. He went out of his way to say, hey, I think you should really get Ryland a Mother's Day car.

[B]

I was like, I don't think he identifies as a mother.

[A]

And I was like, I don't. And I don't have the sacrifices I haven't had to, like, do. I haven't had to sacrifice my body and my emotions and my physical state in the way that a mother has to be acknowledged in that way. But I will take what I can get from Joe. And thinking that I should be acknowledged.

[B]

He's like, at least a card. He's like, are you getting Rylan a Mother's Day gift?

[A]

And I was like, no, but then you did.

[B]

I. Well, because. Joe.

[A]

Thank you, Joe.

[B]

And then I was just thinking, like,

[A]

I didn't get her on. I was like, But you are.

[B]

What the fuck, Shade? Where the fuck were you? Where the fuck were you? When husbands were telling their husbands to get their husband's friends present for Mother's Day?

[A]

I will say you are the most like. Like, present day. Like, I think my mom really dipped and did the thing. I think your mom really, really, really, really did. But present day mother, like, in the trenches, you are the best one I know. You go out of your way. And not just for your child.

[B]

The only one you immediately know.

[A]

I mean. Oh, shit. I'm really going to offend a bunch of other people right now, huh?

[B]

No, I don't think you know any other moms.

[A]

I'm thinking of a few, and they're great moms, too.

[B]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[A]

I'm really stepping in it.

[B]

I can't think of who any of them would be.

[A]

Oh, oh, no.

[B]

Like, immediate friends.

[A]

I don't want to call out names and give them, like, focal points

[B]

because she looks good, but any mom who looks that good's gotta be sacrificing on the mom. Just kidding. I'm just kidding.

[A]

I'm just saying, like, I think I'm a good dad, but, like, I need to be complimented by Shane, who's like, we're going to the doctor. So we're making the appointment. We're doing. Doing these things where they'll be fine. They're resilient.

[B]

You've been doing that anyway.

[A]

I. Yeah, I would, but it would take me a little longer, you know?

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

Like, an injury happens, and I'm like, let's wait 10 minutes. And Shane's like, dude, like, a second hasn't even passed on the clock. And Shane has the doctor on the phone. Yeah. And he, like, has an appointment and somebody coming to the house. And I'm like, do we really need to pay, like, a ton of money for somebody to come to the house?

[B]

Sometimes.

[A]

Sometimes. And they're shame for that, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But you. Doesn't matter if it's your dog, your kid, you go out of your way and are, like, so down for anybody you love in a way. That's so impressive.

[B]

These are the homies. You got to watch their backs. I was. We were at soccer practice, and Joe, this is so freaking annoying, and it's so stupid, but we, you know, we pay to go to soccer practice, and it's almost $200 for, like, eight weeks, which somebody broke down in the math, and they were like, it's not that money. That's not. It's not that much money. Sorry. The chocolate's now leaving my body again. It's just leaving so fast. No, I can't handle it. I can't handle it. It's hurting my teeth a little bit because I think I have a cavity.

[A]

We can eat the whole box of chocolate. By the end, we're just, like, sustaining the sugar high. By the end, we're just passed out on the couch, dead. Oh, my God. There's Your happy birthday balloons that I'm glancing at.

[B]

Oh, cute. So we pay like a. Not an exorbitant amount of money to go to soccer practice, but we pay money, period, nonetheless. You know what I'm saying? And the soccer coach who has the best energy has been gone for two weeks. What kind of a vacation is that? And I want to say his name because it's a lit ass name, but like, I shouldn't say names.

[A]

Well, what would be a cool name if you were gonna name somebody else?

[B]

All I can think about is his name.

[A]

I know. That's what I was trying to get.

[B]

Okay. It's Josue.

[A]

Josue.

[B]

Josue.

[A]

Oh, wow. That's.

[B]

It feels like it's made up. It's so dope. Like, you know what I mean? Like the energy of hosts.

[A]

Like, I want to. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

That can't be a real name.

[A]

Obviously is.

[B]

And he's so good with the kids. It's like really hard to get an under 2 year old to play soccer because they're. They're dumb. Like, they can't. It's not their fault. They're just like, they. He. He could put three words together now. Anyway, he. And Josue is so smart about it. He like takes everybody to the far side of the park. So we're not near the jungle gym, so the kids aren't like juice to go run off to. He puts us in the shade underneath a tree, like, it's awesome. And he's been gone for two weeks and there's a woman replacement.

[A]

Has anybody asked where he is?

[B]

They keep telling us that he's like doing something. And I'm like, is this a weird cover story? Like, is he not coming back? Because I'm not coming back if he's not coming back. This woman puts us right by the jungle gym. And so the kids are just all running to the jungle gym the entire time. And none of them are doing the. The. And it's like, we go to the park all the time.

[A]

Yeah, I don't pay to go to the park. Free time.

[B]

Yeah, I paid for you to learn. So go out there and kick that bowl. Anyways, they're all running to the park and I'm just like, whatever. Like, because I'm not gonna also get into a screaming fight with a belligerent under 2 year old that we're like, we're here to play soccer, which is something that his brain can't compromise.

[A]

Well, there's a puck right there. Yeah, Pog. Like there's An R in there park.

[B]

No, they really struggle. They really struggle. They all.

[A]

I love my kids. I love my kids so much.

[B]

So anyways, we were at the park, and Joe was.

[A]

Had.

[B]

Bailed on practice because Billy was at the jungle gym, and there was an older brother that comes, and he's just by himself playing. And I was like, if you need something, Joe's got your six. And he was like, what? And I was like, all right, bye, Ezra. Good luck. I don't know why I brought that up.

[A]

Okay, Mother's Day chocolate.

[B]

But, yeah, Mother's Day was lit as fuck. It just was a good vibe. Like, I don't. I. This is the annoying thing about me. I didn't want to break from them. Like, I don't feel like I need one.

[A]

Like, every other mom on a podcast is. Like, I need until, like, I want to see them for five minutes, and then I want, like, a massage.

[B]

I'm sure next year I'll be like, I need a break. But right now, I don't really need a break. I like to be with them. I like spending our weekends together. I like the family unit being, you know, together, complete. Yeah. So I. I did have a thought. Like, we woke up early and we went to Hugo's before the rush. And then I was thinking, like, gosh, I'd really like to go shopping without the guilt. Because I went shopping with guilt. Previously this week, right after paying taxes. Like, whoa, girl, where do you think that money is coming?

[A]

It's crazy how many taxes just keep coming.

[B]

It is crazy. They just keep coming and coming and coming. It's like, girl, if we're done on the 15th, so are you.

[A]

It doesn't feel that way, because then first quarter taxes were too. And I was like, go away, go away, go away, go away. It's my birth month.

[B]

Yeah. Do something for us.

[A]

You want to give me a gift? Government, you need the gift. I'm giving you everything.

[B]

And it seems like they really only penalize people who give something, doesn't it?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

That's how it feels.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It feels like because I didn't pay taxes for years, and guess what? They never came asking. They never were like, and what a

[A]

blessed position to be that they want your money, truly.

[B]

And that's how I've reframed it, because I called everyone and went on a press tour, and I was like, I paid my taxes. They were like, okay, so did everyone in America. And I'm like, no, I paid my taxes. And they're like, okay, And I was like, so I'm gonna.

[A]

You're like by I. My best friend, co worker's brother paid my taxes. And I just screamed to him like he was doing something awful to me.

[B]

Told him I was going to be really cool this year too. I texted him, was like, don't worry about it. This year I'm emotionally prepared. I'm going to be really cool.

[A]

Austin just texts me a number and I just always send melting face. And I'm like, well, thank you for your service.

[B]

I literally called him from the park crying this year, Called him sobbing. I was like, I know I told you I was gonna be cool this year, Austin, but I'm really not cool about this.

[A]

You don't pay me enough to be your husband or therapist. Go find your own husband.

[B]

Hey, I just thought I'd call you because I'm at the park right now and I'm crying. Another mom was like, are you good girl? And I was like, I just paid my taxes. But to truth be told, poor Austin. This got stretched into a weeks long endeavor because I was like, did you

[A]

adopt a kid again?

[B]

No, listen, I was like, we're doing a payment plan. He's like, lizzy, I really don't think you should do a payment plan. I was like, no, we're doing a payment plan. Like, I can't handle this. We're doing a payment plan. And then like two weeks go by and he goes, I really don't think you should be doing a payment plan. I was like, no, trust me, we're doing a plan. And then by the end of the call, I was like, you know what, Austin? Like, I really trust your opinion and you're right, I should just pay my taxes. So I paid my taxes and then called my dad and said, I paid my taxes. And he went, I am so proud of you. I said, this is why I'm a bad person right here. This right here.

[A]

I wonder if your dad's proud of me.

[B]

My dad's very proud of you.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

He's proud of you and he's proud of Shane.

[A]

He didn't know that Shane was accomplished.

[B]

No, I don't think he had any idea.

[A]

This office and every corner he turned like a. Shane really isn't. I mean, Shane doesn't talk about his accomplishments ever. But like, I did make him like the publishers of his book, like when they became New York Times bestsellers, they like sent him out framed, like, you know. Yeah. And I was like, you have an office space now. That's going to your Office space. Like, it's not just gonna sit in the closet in the dark, rotting behind. Like, it has been in our house for years.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And so he puts them up, and your dad's, like, turning corners, and he's like, oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Number one. Yeah. I was like, yeah, he did well for himself.

[B]

Yeah. So he's very impressed. Yeah.

[A]

Elizabeth. We're manifesting that for Elizabeth, too. How's your book coming?

[B]

I was just gonna say I'm breaking ground on. I'm, like, extrapolating on one of the essays to make it the first chapter this week.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[B]

Yeah. Because I figured out what it is.

[A]

And if you love your husband now, then what's the book about?

[B]

Oh, that'll end. That'll change. There's no way there's longevity to this love. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, that's not how husbands work. I feel like wives, like, do best when they resent their husbands over miscommunications.

[A]

So he did well Mother's Day weekend.

[B]

He's just. Listen, we. We get into these huge fights, and I get tunnel visions of rage. Do you know what I'm saying?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm like, if I'm only looking at this one piece of the pie, it is rotten and covered in mold, and we gotta throw the whole pie away. But the truth is, you can eat a pie, just remove the mold. You know what I mean? Are you gonna throw an entire brick of cheddar cheese away because of a little speck of mold? No. You're gonna cut the mold off and eat the cheese?

[A]

Yeah. Not unless I'm feeding it to my kids.

[B]

I'm still feeding it to my kids.

[A]

I'm saving it for me. If it's that way.

[B]

Oh, you are?

[A]

Yeah. Sometimes I try to save the raspberries. I'm like, ah, there's only, like, five that are moldy. And then I'm, like, digging around, and it's like. Like, I don't even know that I'd feed this to myself. What the is up with raspberries?

[B]

Well, I was gonna say raspberry.

[A]

They're not even.

[B]

You get them for a day, and then you're done.

[A]

If you're lucky. Sometimes you're, like, in the store and you're like, looks good. And you get home, and it's like, molds everywhere.

[B]

And mold on raspberries is like hantavirus to a cruise ship.

[A]

You just told me we were gonna get demonetized at the mention of that word before we started filming. And now you just can't help yourself but drop the word.

[B]

I made that up, though. I don't know if that's true. Did you say. Ask him if we could say Hanta.

[A]

Nobody. YouTube wants me anymore.

[B]

Nobody.

[A]

Well, went to like the Tick Tock. I don't even know. Blank went to the TikTokers because YouTube was like. Because you remember Tick Tock was shutting down. And then there was like a mad dash from tick tock to YouTube because they were all like, we've got to find a platform somewhere.

[B]

But none of them could do long form content.

[A]

So they relocated my. My. My favorite person in the world.

[B]

My favorite person in the world to

[A]

the Tick Tockers that didn't even find longevity on YouTube. Rip still with them. I'm like, what are they doing? What are they doing?

[B]

These jobs probably just gotten so much easier.

[A]

And then in the height of. Yeah. And then in the height of my horrible last week, my girls, like, I'm leaving my position at YouTube. We'll find you someone else later. So, like, I don't even have a contact YouTube right now.

[B]

Way to pile on YouTube.

[A]

Thanks, YouTube. Did you know I had a hard week?

[B]

He had a hard week. YouTube.

[A]

And here are taking away my contact for when my co host says the word haunt of virus.

[B]

You. You. YouTube.

[A]

No, we love.

[B]

We love you. We love you.

[A]

It's giving me everything.

[B]

It's given us all of the stuff that we love. Because of you, we pay taxes.

[A]

Because of you, we really do pay taxes.

[B]

Yeah, we do be.

[A]

And that makes our world a better

[B]

place and also kind of makes me resent you a little bit. And I'm back to wondering if maybe we should give YouTube hantavirus.

[A]

Okay, so you're all the way in it. You just want to talk about it. I, like, can't even transition to an ad from that. People are suffering. So, like, where do I go from here? I have an app. I have an ad right now. Yes.

[B]

Away from Hunter.

[A]

Just don't stop bringing it closer to the ad. We need separation from the ad.

[B]

Did you see all I could think about now.

[A]

Did you see what Sally did for my birthday? No. Oh, she brought a balloon and she did that. Chris told me that she did it.

[B]

Sally did that while.

[A]

And she's a mother. A single mother. Single.

[B]

Happy birthday.

[A]

Because she used to be in. In a love affair with Steve Hartley. Oh, he left her.

[B]

He would.

[A]

He did.

[B]

What a trash monster.

[A]

And she still had time to run to Ralph's.

[B]

You better get into this ad because I'm about to bring it up again

[A]

because I so much to seeking for sponsoring today's podcast. You already know we're obsessed with SeatGeek, and for good reason. They are the number one rated ticketing app in the world.

[B]

Oh, so don't bring it up right now.

[A]

No, like. Like two minutes, and then you can bring it up if that's what you want to do.

[B]

Not me watching the clock.

[A]

Yeah, we're at 26 minutes, so at 28 minutes, you're free to talk about whatever you want. All right, let's just like, let's hope se clicks out before they're only scrolling for their ad, and then once they see their ads been complete, they leave. So we're like, we're getting closer to you being able to discuss what you want. Oh, I had a good Mother's Day, too.

[B]

Oh, yeah? What'd you do?

[A]

Not that I'm.

[B]

Oh, my God. What? I was like, I guess you're hanging out with Teresa today, so you probably don't want to hang out with me.

[A]

I was like, yeah, correct. I mean, yeah, we were going to celebrate Teresa, the mom in our lives. That's Located in close proximity to me. I would have been. I would have loved to be with my family and Teresa. But Teresa threw a birthday bash or a birthday bash. It felt like a birthday bash.

[B]

Oh, yeah, she.

[A]

She threw a Mother's Day bash at her place. Jared and Sandy brought their new. I guess it's a. Technically, a van. Their new, like, RV van hybrid. It is gorgeous.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

It is. Wow. I'm so excited for them, and I'm hoping that they'll go to some of the campgrounds near us because there's a lot of them. Yeah. I'll take the boys over and, like. Like, it will be so fun. She had a bunch of food for us, and she texted me right before, like, I heated the pool for you guys.

[B]

Was it really hot?

[A]

It was really hot. It was, like, really nice.

[B]

Anybody was gonna get a pool heated, it was gonna be Teresa.

[A]

And Lizzy was like, should we come over and, like, crash Mother's Day at Teresa's? And I was like, I don't know if that's, like, the vibe for Mother's Day, like, inviting, like, a family of five over.

[B]

Is it a family of five?

[A]

Well, if you bring James, too. I don't know if he'd come or not.

[B]

I probably wouldn't bring James.

[A]

Okay. A family of four. But then we got there, and Teresa was like, oh, yeah. Lizzie's always welcome. So next time we have a swimming

[B]

day, I'll be there, Teresa.

[A]

You'll be there.

[B]

I'll be there, Teresa.

[A]

Nobody else had their swimsuit, so it was just me. And I keep swimming in the car

[B]

just in case someone's like, do you want to go swimming?

[A]

I'm like, exactly. And so we had a lot of fun swimming there. She had a bunch of snacks for us. The boys had the best time, and it was really incredible. The swimming lessons are paying off for my children. Like, they can. What they like to do is, like, get out of the pool. They know, like, one big arm, two big arm, and then they can pull themselves up and out. Yeah. And then they'll, like, sit on the ledge, and I'll, like, have one wait. They jump in, I grab them, and then they swim back. And then the other one gets to do it.

[B]

They swim back.

[A]

Well, I'll assist them, but they're working on their. They can. Yeah, because they're not jumping that far from the ledge. So they. They go under, and I. I make sure they get up well, and then we use our paddling arms back to the wall.

[B]

It's so awesome when you Watch your kid doing something that they learned has started because he's really starting to talk a lot more, which is incredible. Like, he'll say, all done, baby. All done, mama. So fun telling us we're done with things. Like, this morning, he told me I was all done with my teeth brushing.

[A]

He's over it.

[B]

He's over, all done, mama. He's not even being annoying about it.

[A]

That's enough.

[B]

Yeah. And so his school had a really beautiful Mother's Day thing on Friday. And we went and they. The babies had made cake. And I don't know if I've said this here before, but, like, those babies, can they make a cake? It is so good. It's like a yellow, moist cake. And I just want to, like, are

[A]

you forgetting what happens with baked goods at that facility?

[B]

I'm sure it's covered in hansavirus.

[A]

Okay, Go right into it. No, no, no. We'll pause.

[B]

So they. The. The school gave us the. The kids made little square cakes each. And then for their moms. And then they put white frosting on top of. Put the cakes on little, like, paint platters with little dollops of colored frosting so that we could decorate the cakes with our kids when we came to school that day, Billy puts a little bit of frosting on the side of it, and he goes, wow. Like, he's just inspired by his own, like, frosting thing. And then afterwards, because it's Friday, they do a Shabbat schoolwide, like, celebration every Friday. And Billy, like, knows the songs and, like, does the. The dances. And, like, there's, like, Shabbat Shalom. Hey. Billy screams hey. And jumps up and has the best time. And he's, like, trying to do the little hand moves for all the songs. It just. It's devastatingly sweet. And he does it outside of school, too. Like, at home all weekend, just screaming hey.

[A]

And.

[B]

But, you know, he doesn't get air when he jumps, so when I say he's jumping, he just.

[A]

Can't he jump.

[B]

You are. You joke?

[A]

Because I call Max my little bunny because all he does is hop. Like, whenever he gets excited, he's. He.

[B]

Can you believe this dude? This is so.

[A]

Have you tried to, like, show him?

[B]

Yes, dude. He hasn't gotten yet. This is developmentally appropriate.

[A]

Bring him over, Max.

[B]

Your kids didn't hop for the longest time?

[A]

Well, I was. I wasn't, like, concerned or worried about it.

[B]

Notice it until they started hopping.

[A]

They were just hopping. I didn't know that was a milestone we were looking for. And you've been. But you've been concerned about it for months.

[B]

I'm not concerned. You guys just would shut the up about the fact my son can't hop.

[A]

I don't even know that it's a problem. I'm just wondering if you've properly taught him how to hop.

[B]

We're doing our best at home. We're doing our best at home. This is like when he had his first report card at school, and they're like, puzzles needs work. Billy doesn't understand puzzles because his big brother, Icky just puts the pieces in his mouth. So when you do a puzzle with Billy and he puts it in his mouth, it's because that's how he thinks it's done. He doesn't need work on it. He's doing it right the way we do it in our home. God. Not everybody puzzles the same way. And it's enjoyable however you choose to do it. It's a leisurely activity for your pastime.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Can't believe it's on a report card. Crazy. It's crazy.

[A]

Okay, you want to know I'm not

[B]

like a toxic boy mom, though. I'm not like, defensive of my kids in a crazy, toxic way.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

All I want to do right now is make everybody look at the little outfits I bought them.

[A]

I'm sure the first thing that will happen when we wrap this podcast is Lizzie will walk up to Spencer and be like. Like, look at these outfits that I got my boy.

[B]

Yeah. I'm literally. That's my press tour. I'm excited for it. Chris hasn't seen them yet either, and I'm going to do it individually.

[A]

I will say the little orange moments were really.

[B]

Can you believe?

[A]

They were really something.

[B]

So when Billy was a baby, we got him an outfit that we called his sherbet velors. It's just terry cloth and it's like baby orange color. And so when I was at looking for a gift for you, I saw a sherbet velour for a baby and I bought it for Ernie. And then I got these points racked up somehow. And then I went back to the mall and guess what I got sherbet velours for Billy, and they were only $4.

[A]

Wow. Is that Gap?

[B]

No, this is Ralph Lauren.

[A]

$4. Yes. Where are you? What?

[B]

At Bloomies?

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wow. Awesome. Wow.

[B]

Awesome. So now that enough time has passed, do you want to talk about how you hate your rear view mirror the day after service

[A]

can't be trusted anymore. I don't know what's going on? Well, I will say, like, okay, the. The problem with the truck is it's just huge.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, this was the truck again.

[A]

No, no, no, no. I'm just justifying why that happened with the truck in the past when I crashed both rear view mirrors.

[B]

Right.

[A]

That's behind us.

[B]

That wasn't even your fault.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

I honestly, I think it's the dog groomers.

[A]

Honestly.

[B]

They fucked you.

[A]

That wonderful woman. Fuck her.

[B]

Fuck her. She's a homophobe.

[A]

She's really a great dog groomer.

[B]

And fuck her, but she hates the keys.

[A]

It's always when I'm in a rush and it's like, why am I in a rush? I don't know. I was on time. I was on time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I didn't need to be rushing out of there. But like, the. I don't know, it's California. So our laundry rooms in the garage. Yeah. So it's like. That's a. Like, it makes my. My spot tight because, like, I have to do, like, some weird maneuvering to, like, get over far enough once I'm in the garage so that the washing machine's accessible when I'm in the garage. So, like, I have to then, like, once I back out, really maneuver so I miss my rear view mirror. I just wasn't looking. Snap the mirror this time. Didn't break, thank God.

[B]

Which car?

[A]

My G wagon.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

But the COVID just flew off.

[B]

Daddy's third truck. Are you gonna take all the mirrors off the sides of jets cars just so it can be just like daddy's?

[A]

And then, yeah, I wasn't able to get it back on. And then the blinkers. All because the blinkers connected to the rear view mirror on that car. So then it's, like, messed up my entire blinker. And I was like. Like this would happen to me. I've been putting off, like, my general service for months, and I had finally just taken it in and just gotten it back. The same day that I then backed out and popped this off,

[B]

I took a speed bump with a little bit too much gusto.

[A]

Uhhuh.

[B]

And now my car's making a ticking sound. I didn't know that Teslas could make ticking sounds.

[A]

What do you mean ticking?

[B]

Like, I pulled up to. I pulled up to pick up, and then Carlos was like, your car is making a sound. I was like, not my car. It's a Tesla.

[A]

Okay?

[B]

He goes, no, that's your car. Do you hear that? And I was like, no, I don't hear that. And Then another dad gets out of his car. He's like, yeah, that's your car. Your car's making that sound. I was like, shut up. Shut up, all of you. Mortified at pickup.

[A]

I was like, that's crazy.

[B]

What do you think it is? I was gonna go to Costco. Do you think I could still go to Costco? I don't know. I'm just a girl, Carlos. What's a girl to do out in these streets? And he was like, I don't fucking know. Ask your husband. I was like, you think my husband knows? Knows? I think my husband knows anything. He's like, just have Joe get up under there and look. He's like, you think he could fit? You think Joe can fit underneath the car curls? Did you ever think about that? Have you ever played Tetris? Do you know anything? Are you just a girl? And then I said, I'll send Ernie because he's the skinniest one. We can just throw him right under the car, and he'll see what's going on.

[A]

He can report back.

[B]

Well, here's the problem. Ernie can't talk. So we did throw Ernie under the car, and he does see a problem. How's he gonna let us know?

[A]

And Billy won't fit?

[B]

No, Billy won't fit.

[A]

He's a big boy that can't jump.

[B]

He's my thing, for God's sake. Hate crimes galore in this house.

[A]

I'm sure Billy can do a lot of things my kids can't.

[B]

I just, I'm sure, like, pronounce ours. Because he calls you Ry Rai.

[A]

Oh, he does. Do Ry. Ry. Pretty pronounced.

[B]

Yeah. How does it feel? How does it feel to be on the other side of this coin? Does it hurt? A little. Thank God Max can jump.

[A]

And, boy, can he jump.

[B]

We were at the park this weekend, and there was a kid that looks smaller than Billy that was just hopping. And Joe goes, you see that kid? You see that little baby over there? That little baby's hopping like crazy. And I look over and it's like, yeah, that baby is hopping like crazy. And then that mom came over with her kid, and I was like, how old is your baby? I noticed they're hopping like crazy. She's like, oh, he's 22 months old.

[A]

That's the only topic point at the park. Why is it always just like, how old are they?

[B]

Well, because we're all concerned. I don't know why, but we all are. Because I was sitting next to another mom, too, and she had a little baby that was like. You know, you could tell it was a new baby because it was like one of these.

[A]

Needed head support.

[B]

Yeah. Three months old.

[A]

Like, hopping.

[B]

Jumping to the sky. Can't hold his own head up. Can touch the clouds. No, he. He was so damn big. He was way bigger than Ernie. And I was like, oh, that baby's got to be, like, nine months old.

[A]

Old.

[B]

She has three months. And I went, I've got a skinny baby. Which is weird because, like, you're always. I'm always like. Like. Because Billy was a thick up.

[A]

Yeah, he was.

[B]

And we're looking back at pictures. We're like, oh, Billy was fat. Like, we had a fat baby.

[A]

They say that's good, though. Yeah, that's good for their brain development.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Ernie is not fat. He's like a supermodel. That. It's like a supermodel, though.

[A]

It's because he just can't keep his food down.

[B]

Down. No, he can't. But he doesn't have failure to thrive. He's just skinny.

[A]

He's just skinny. You know what really took me by surprise this week?

[B]

Antivirus. Because me too.

[A]

You acted like you were even concerned. Chris was the one that was like.

[B]

Because I've been trying to ignore it. I've been trying to ignore it like the ghost in my house. But they sent the Americans back home. Okay, the Americans, one of which has light symptoms and the other, which is confirmed T virus, is in the Americas. Now. Why are they back in America?

[A]

I didn't know it was spreadable.

[B]

No, it's spreadable. If it's not spreadable, why does everybody have it?

[A]

Wait, is this actually going to become the next coronavirus?

[B]

No. Because this has a much higher kill rate.

[A]

Yes. Okay. I think it's like 40 to 50. I was devastated by the people that were like, oh, we're on vacation. We're having a good time. And then Hunter. And so if I guess. Does anybody not know?

[B]

What do you mean?

[A]

I mean, you got to tell people not know what they hate when we, like, start a story, but don't explain the story. Like, do you need to explain?

[B]

Okay, so if you're like me and you've been living under a rock because you are postpartum and dying of anxiety and can't handle another pandemic. Boy, is this the story for you. Quite the way in recently, I guess, there was a cruise ship of people who were there in South America, and they decided that there are bird watchers and it would be super cool if they went to some Dump site to go look at these birds or something. I'm like, why? First of all, this is the beginning of every horror movie about a pandemic, is it not? And I guess hantavirus. I don't know how to say it. So that's why I'm saying it. Like a woman from Brentwood. So just picture me in a dress that fits right in, like a lot of real gold.

[A]

It would still be flowy though. It'd be like tight but flowy. But it would be linen with her Birkin and she'd be like going into that like, like that market in the Country Mart.

[B]

The Brentwood Country Mart?

[A]

No, the grocery store. Is that what it's literally called, the grocery store? There's like that annoying. Like I don't know, I'd probably go there if I lived there.

[B]

So in the Country Mart.

[A]

Yes. There's like that, like where you can get food, but it's like a market.

[B]

Is it like farm something?

[A]

It doesn't matter. Like whatever. Such a small percentage of people live in proximity to Brentwood here that it doesn't even matter.

[B]

We're all going to get haunted soon, honey. So these people were bird watching at a landfill or something and like five of them came back to the ship and they were. Reportedly, three of them died.

[A]

Well, I thought, I thought. I mean, I thought food was contaminated on the ship from critters on the ship, but maybe that's real misinformation.

[B]

Well, that might be real information. I got my information from James because I was scared.

[A]

Okay, Chris, can you tell us the actual information from what I. Cuz I

[B]

would feel horrible if the bird watching community was just slandered by me from the, the, the.

[A]

From what I thought I consumed. I thought it was the ship itself. There were critters on the ship and that.

[B]

Rodents.

[A]

Rodents defecated.

[B]

Yuck.

[A]

In the ship.

[B]

Yuck.

[A]

Which contaminated food, which contaminated people. Which is why I thought it was like moved through food, not like airways, which is like why I was able to sleep. And then when I looked it up, the people that I had seen who passed, which doesn't make it less. Less tragic, but they were all of an older age, people of an elder, a higher risk to it.

[B]

They tend to die on cruise ships a lot.

[A]

So stop cruising.

[B]

So that's what I'm trying to say. But some of these people like live on cruise ships.

[A]

I mean, they have the. Like you can.

[B]

No, you can live on.

[A]

Have a residency on a cruise ship,

[B]

which honestly super epic. But like

[A]

not now that we know these things. I mean. Yeah. Do you remember when coronavirus broke out and then it broke out on the cruise ship, and then they were on

[B]

the ship for 30 days or something.

[A]

Oh, my God, what a nightmare. So anyway, what kind of misinformation did we spread? I mean. Well, I. It's hard. There's a lot of misinformation on the Internet about it. But from what I see right now, it does seem like it was spread from rodents, a rodent contaminated area.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Possibly on the ship. I don't want to be sued by the ship. Allegedly it was on the ship. I don't actually know.

[B]

And honestly, for the bird watching community, allegedly on my side as well.

[A]

But the. The type of hantavirus that they have is called Andes virus, which is spreadable from human to human. Oh, my God.

[B]

It's spreadable from human to human, but it's not like, airborne, correct?

[A]

I think so. We have to, like, touch.

[B]

You have to be in close proximity to these individuals. However, a couple of people got off the boat and somehow managed to be in an airport in France and then tested positive for it. And the Americans that they just sent home, one is lightly symptomatic and one is definitely positive for Hanta. And they're going to Nebraska facility that does not. That is not super quarantined and locked down. And the other ones are just going home.

[A]

Who's gonna say?

[B]

For 42 days? I'm just like, what are we.

[A]

Can we do this again? Can we do another? I mean, I know. Oh, my God. And the fatality rate, it says is 40%.

[B]

Oh, just 40.

[A]

Would you.

[B]

That's basically half. Yeah. But I was living in a 50 world, so this is a win.

[A]

My heart goes out to the people that have been affected by this. For real, though, like, that is horrifying. Horrifying. You're going on a vacation.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And if this.

[B]

Well, this is why we got to stop going on vacation.

[A]

Okay, you guys, I've been telling you

[B]

that let's just be happy at our homes.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

Happy in our homes.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

What? Go to the grocery store, get yourself some melons.

[A]

Can we trust that anymore either? Don't you remember there were a lot of, like, grocery stores that got got. I think there was even a headline that the Erewhon in Santa Monica got shut down due to a rodent infestation. And I think a lot of restaurant. And I'm not like, trying to slander Erewhon. I'm. I'm saying, like, I think a lot of restaurants. I remember I was at a cafe in Hollywood, like a very popular one on, On Franklin, like, you know, where the comedy club is. And there was just a rat fell from the ceiling because there's like beams and it just. Yes. I don't know why I could say erewhon. But I'm. I'm a big consumer of one, so I'm not trying to slander your name. I just. That was a headline I thought I saw alleged. And then also when I was in London, I was eating my dinner at a restaurant. I don't even know what this restaurant was called. And I looked down in a rodent, just. And it is like.

[B]

I mean, and you know, my house is dripping in Marcel.

[A]

That's what I'm saying. Like you rodents are gonna find their way in anywhere. Like even to the cleanest of places. So we're all at risk of having. Having. I mean, when we moved out of our house in Studio City, there was a rat infestation. Didn't we talk about that on the podcast with Morgan? Yeah, yeah. So it's like. And they were in our snack drawer.

[B]

Damn. Damn.

[A]

We went in to like pull out

[B]

a snack and pulled out a rat.

[A]

And I pulled.

[B]

Did you touch it?

[A]

I pulled my. No. I screamed, I ran. I pulled my G wagon out and ran out of gas in the middle of the intersection. And Shane would say, you're always driving with no gas. And it's like, well, I'm a woman,

[B]

but not a mom. This is probably why Joe felt like you needed a mother's day gift.

[A]

Shane gets so mad at me with the way that I just like. With like no gas.

[B]

No gas. Well, then he should fill your gas tank.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

What are you, a lesbian?

[A]

Exactly. No.

[B]

You have a husband for a reason. Fill his gas tank, Shane.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Come on.

[A]

And I hate getting gas.

[B]

Cuz you're a woman.

[A]

[B]

What?

[A]

On a lighter note.

[B]

What?

[A]

I'm watching the season series finale of the Company back.

[B]

Oh, is it spoilers?

[A]

I'm enjoying myself.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And guess who pops out.

[B]

Chit.

[A]

Chit. Jay.

[B]

Chit. Chit. Chit. Chit. Chit. Chit. No way. He's been more successful than me my whole life. No, get that on the phone.

[A]

Even when we were only 19 and in acting classes, he was stealing the jobs I wanted. He's still stealing them today.

[B]

Call Chit right now. You know what?

[A]

I'm so happy that you're on. Michael. Patrick. What's his. Michael J. Who's the guy that created Sex in the City?

[B]

Oh, who knows?

[A]

Michael. No, he's very famous.

[B]

I'm not. I don't know.

[A]

And Lisa Kudrow's radar. Good for you. Good for you. No, I did. I did gag a little and I was like, good for you.

[B]

Oh, did you really feel. Good for you?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

You can be honest.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

It's just us here.

[A]

No, I don't. No, no, we're on. No, we're on different trajectories. And I want him to have success as an actor. And honestly, I think I'm. I'm coming to the conclusion of, like, I want to be in my Husband's show. But, like, pursuing acting when I have young kids, I need to slow down.

[B]

It's impossible.

[A]

I don't want to miss. And not to, like, tie this into Honey, who I love so much. But I do think, like, while I'm young and while I have the ability to create my schedule and my life life, I want to be as present as possible. I don't want to be, like, I so often hear, like, these huge actors on all of. Or musicians on all of these, like. Like, interviews, and they've missed their children's lives.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's the nature of that job is like, you're either in. You're. You know, so I'm like, I can chase. Acting can be for any time. Not like, if the role of a lifetime could comes after me. And, like, it's meant to be written in the house. Like, if it just comes to me, like, I will make it happen. But I don't need to be, like, killing myself to. For what? Like, I have everything I need. I have a wonderful job that provides for me and my family. I have the flexibility to be as present as I possibly can be. And so, like, I just need to chill a little bit. I need to, like, be present in, like, all of the greatness that is already right in front of me.

[B]

It's so much.

[A]

It's so much.

[B]

The abundance is like, oh, my God.

[A]

And I don't. I, like, honestly, I don't want to miss my children's life. And I'm not. I'm not judging anybody that does. Like, we're all on our own paths, but, like, losing the first member of our family, really just, like, I want so much more time back with Honey. Yeah. And I'll never get that. I mean, I was very present with her. Like, I was. I. I really was. But, like, never's enough. Enough. Never, never is enough. And, like, I feel like trying to find comfort in all that transpired last week. We were watching all these different, like, dog mediums and dog. Like, just talking about, like, a dog's purpose and their time and their. And the lessons they teach you. And, like, having taught you that your lesson and leaving was, like, already written and, like, it was already happened how

[B]

it was gonna lesson before I start

[A]

crying just to be. Not to take my family for granted

[B]

because the dog never takes us for granted.

[A]

No. And it's unconditional love. And it's just, like, what I would give, what I would sacrifice in, like, so many other areas to have three, four, five more years with Honey. And it's just like, don't be stupid.

[B]

Don't.

[A]

Don't miss the life that's already right in front of you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I really like. It was. Was probably the saddest moment of my. I haven't. I haven't dealt with a lot of loss. I just haven't like in. Thank you God. But I haven't. And this is like the.

[B]

Well, it really sucks.

[A]

So no one should member of my immediate family to leave us. And it was like the moment it happened was like the worst pain of my life for so many reasons, but like my whole life flashed in front of me, you know, and it's just like, chill out, brother. Chill. Chill and enjoy what is here. Like, you don't need to be for what? Chasing what and why. You know? So. Yeah. And I guess like just picking up where I left off last time, where we were talking about Honey. It happened so quickly after that. It was. Is like we went to your cancer doctor. She couldn't help us because she was past the point where chemo could help her. So radiation was the hope for honey. We went to one radiation doctor who didn't have good news. We went and got a second opinion and everything was looking bleak. She stopped eating. She was bleeding internally. And both doctors were like. Like, you're looking at a week max, and it's going to be an uncomfortable week for her. And I thought, well, let's go give her the best hurrah at home. When we finally came to terms that, like, we're going to have to put Honey down, I was like, let's give her the. The biggest hurrah we can at home, like, spoil her as much as we can over the next one or two days without her being in too much pain. And we get home and she didn't want to get out of the car. And it's like I. I felt like it was her in that moment telling me, I'm ready. I'm ready. Because we got home and we were like, come on, like, one more night, let's. And she just. She wouldn't get out of the car. And so I brought the dogs out to her and we said goodbye in that way because I was exploring, maybe somebody coming to the house. But it just so happened to be the doctor that had been with us on this journey was like, in. Because she's a specialist, and the specialist TR Trickle in and out of the vets, and she just so happened to be there that day. Honey didn't want to get out of the car and I just. We felt like it was Honey telling us that it was her time to go. And it was like, I'm. I've. I've become like we cried so much on Monday night, Tuesday, all day Wednesday, that I just. I feel like I like shut off, shut off an area of me for now because it's just, it's too much. And everything, I mean, obviously everything reminds me of her. She was. We got her right before we moved into the house we're living in now. And pretty much the entirety of her eight years with us was there. So like everything at that house is honey, you know. But I do think she's coming to us in like weird up ways like, like out of nowhere. Like, Shane and I were like, it's crazy how like she's just like she's here and then she isn't that night. Like, our security system hasn't had like an issue at all for over a year. Our fire alarm just starts going off and there's no fire. And I'm like, she's with our electronics. Like she's, you know, happened again last night. Just like. And it's not like the battery's dead. It's like it went off for like, like 35 seconds. Like there was a fire, but there wasn't a fire.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

And I'm like, it's honey. Yeah, it's Honey.

[B]

A honey look alike that was slightly less attractive, walked by me the other day and ob. You know, I think I'm thinking about her a lot too.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Joe is also.

[A]

And thank you guys.

[B]

She's a. She's a good dog.

[A]

The best.

[B]

Like a really, really good girl.

[A]

Like the most human dog I've ever encountered. Like, she's so intelligent and sensitive and she leaves an impression and thank you guys. I like, really like it. I couldn't even look at the comments last week because I was so. Just messed up because it had happened on Tuesday and then the episode went out on Wednesday and. But I glanced sense and I can feel the love from you guys and the support that you guys gave. Whether you've gone through it before or you're going through it currently or you have an older dog or you just feel for like what we're going through. The love we could feel, our family could feel, I'm sure Honey could feel. So thank you guys for like being there with us and supporting us. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. That's the only thing is, like, there is nothing that can be said.

[A]

No.

[B]

Like love is valuable and, and it just. You just Can't. You can't ever take it for granted because when you lose it, you're. You'd. You almost can become a slave to thinking about all the moments. You should have just stayed an extra five seconds. So.

[A]

And so I think really just trying to be. And I know, like, we are. Both of us are in just such a busy phase of our lives where we're. I mean, we have flexible jobs, thank God. And like, we have a really great job, but, like, we're working. We have two kids, we have animals, we have, like, our lives are just so full right now, now. And it. So it is just trying to remember at all moments to like, not take each moment for granted because life is so precious.

[B]

Well, that's one of the things that I just like him trying to do consciously right now. Like, you know, in loving memory of Honey is just slowing down and kissing my dogs more.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And enjoying my husband and. Because I'm lucky to have him.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And enjoying my children because I'm lucky to have them. And I really do look around and I'm like, this has to be a simulation because it's so awesome.

[A]

So awesome.

[B]

It's so awesome.

[A]

Yeah. And even when I get frustrated, I'm trying to just, you know, like, it's. It's not. It's. Thank you. You know, so that's another thing that

[B]

I heard recently is. Have I shared this on the podcast? Podcast, Someone said to me, I get to open my eyes today. And it just like flipped my whole script. I was like, oh. Because I was like, I have to wake up right now.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, I get to wake up.

[A]

What a blessing.

[B]

What a blessing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

H. And it's just. That's the perfect way to reframe every day. I get to wake up today. Cuz there's somebody who thought they would and they didn't get to.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I really. I really, really, really cannot stress enough how beautiful it is to have love and how unfortunate but educational it can be when you lose it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's. I had the same thought about, you know, when we lost Jelly. Just thinking like her life's purpose was my joy. So if I allow myself to be lost in sadness and grief, which I. I'm. I cry every day and it hits

[A]

random times for whatever reason, like, but

[B]

I can't disrespect her entire life's work.

[A]

Yeah. And I think the. That's like a dog's greatest gift is that unconditional love and showcasing to you to like, take it in.

[B]

Yeah. So so love out there. Get love, people.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Thank you. At a six foot distance. In case they have hantavirus.

[A]

Exactly. Did you want to touch on any of these?

[B]

I did think the Benedict Cumberbatch bike fight was hysterical.

[A]

Okay. And you're going to have to tell me like his greatest hit.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

So I can picture him in my mind. What is this bug?

[B]

What bug?

[A]

Flying around.

[B]

Oh, I can't see because I'm. My glasses on. So Benedict Cumberbatch is English and he's Doctor who from Marvel. Right?

[A]

Chris Strange.

[B]

Doctor Strange from Marvel who's not Doctor who, was he? Who's Doctor who?

[A]

Who cares? I'm not gonna know. Sorry. I'm sure you guys will.

[B]

He's a civilized Englishman.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And he was riding a bike like a regular like bike, like a bicycle, like a two wheel bike just through a city. Just riding his bike. And I think it was in England. And he pissed off another cyclist and the other cyclist took it upon himself to chase him down on his bike. Then they proceeded to get off their bike and have the most civilized road rage dispute over biking practices.

[A]

And somebody filmed it.

[B]

Somebody filmed the entire thing. And people were lining up to take pictures with Benedict Cumberbatch the whole time. Who like the audience.

[A]

So he knew there was an audience and he's like. But I to.

[B]

It was the most civilized argument you've ever seen in your entire life where he's like, thank you. Please wait just one moment while I handle this man over here. And this man's like, you ran through more than one stop light. And Benedict Cumberbatch is like. It was but one stop light, sir. And the article is just so funny to read when you think about how the British are when they're upset. It's like Parliament in Britain gets. Or I don't even know if it's Britain, but it's like part. Wherever Parliament is, I'm not educated enough. Someone get Spencer in here. But like they're constantly like standing up and screaming and like being psychos or whatever. But it's like out in the streets, like the English are like the southerners in America.

[A]

Do you know what I mean?

[B]

Like there's like, God help you.

[A]

Might have been a misunderstanding and I'm sorry for that.

[B]

But I. Yeah, but damn your whole family. So like that was the vibe of it. Just like a super civilized, like two adult men on bicycles. That's him.

[A]

Oh, did he. I do know his face.

[B]

No, that's Tom Hton.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And they're different. I have English blindness.

[A]

Yes, you do.

[B]

Yes, I do.

[A]

Yes, you do.

[B]

I can't hear them either, which is crazy. I know.

[A]

I really wanted her to watch a show that I was enjoying at one point, and she was like, I can't hear it. And I was like, well, you can't hear anything, so just watch it in subtitles.

[B]

No, it's different when it's English. I can't.

[A]

It's even the subtitles. You just know that it's present.

[B]

I struggle to read Lisa Jewell books because they're English loud. Well, I can hear the English in that.

[A]

In my head. Head. Okay.

[B]

And it becomes really hard. Okay. We talked about Hanta V. Are we

[A]

really going to shut the world down again? Probably.

[B]

Oh, no. I know.

[A]

I like life right now.

[B]

I know. Damn. I don't know that we're not going to shut the world down.

[A]

No, we won't.

[B]

No, we won't.

[A]

We just will not.

[B]

No, we will not.

[A]

We simply won't.

[B]

We will stay open in the face of Hanta adversity.

[A]

We will. Will. You know what you do. Love.

[B]

What?

[A]

And you really, truly do.

[B]

I do.

[A]

You really do.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that just so happens to be our friend.

[B]

Ritual. Ritual. Okay, cut to me, postpartum, still needing to get vitamins in me. But now my hands are full with two children. I gotta eat, I gotta live, and I don't have time.

[A]

And you need to enjoy your life and I enjoy my life, quite frankly. We need to appreciate what we have right in front of us, period.

[B]

And I can't do that if I'm worried about taking handfuls of vitamins all day.

[A]

Yucky. And make you burp. Yucky smells.

[B]

I'm close with my husband again. Do you think he could handle if I'm burping fish oil in his face every day? No. So instead I'm burping peppermint. And that's thanks to ritual.

[A]

And that is good for intimacy with your husband and your co workers.

[B]

Pyramid. One thing I love about ritual is it takes all of the vitamin nutrients that I need and eliminates 50 million pills from my life and serves it up in two. And not only that, but they pack it with a sweet little peppermint punch. So when it goes down, it goes down smooth and comes up with just a little minty tingle.

[A]

You're almost waiting for it.

[B]

You're almost. You're excited when it comes.

[A]

You're like, oh, there it is. It is. And the moms agree. Like, all the moms in your circle are like, this is the Business.

[B]

Well, how do you think I found out about ritual? Do you think I do my own research? No. I call the moms that I respect the most who live the lives I want to live. And I say, girls, what are you doing? And they said, we're taking ritual.

[A]

And a Mother's day gift is never too late. Girls.

[B]

No, I also want to say we don't talk about this enough. You need to be taking magnesium. If you're not taking magnesium, you need to be taking magnesium. And it's. It helps you sleep. It relaxes your body. It's a good part of your everyday routine. It can also be disgusting. You can find a bunch of different aren't powdered magnesiums. And they're like. And I don't know why, but I used to take a magnesium that literally was fishy. What is that? Ritual offers a nighttime magnesium drink that tastes to me like apple juice. It is so tasty. My husband shakes it up on the rocks and then serves it to me. And I suckle it down like a nice. Like a little mocktail before a good man. He's a good man.

[A]

He's a good man.

[B]

And I'm an. But here's the deal.

[A]

You can get 25% off. They're offering you a great deal if you haven't tried ritual already.

[B]

Yeah. Don't settle for less than evidence based support. Save 25% on your first month at ritual.com the sip25. That's ritual.com the sip25 for 25% off your first month of ritual. Start sleeping better. Start feeling better. Ritual is what you need to add to your daily routine.

[A]

Thank you, ritual.

[B]

Thank. No, seriously, thank you, ritual. But this is part of the sip, right after sip. No, this is for the sip.

[A]

Okay. Oh, so should I wait?

[B]

We have to tell the sip.

[A]

Oh, yeah, it's fine.

[B]

You can tell. We're reporting live from the front lines of hantavirus.

[A]

Are we rolling? Yes. Okay, we're on our way to Chili's. They have a new popping boba margarita

[B]

and we're all going to pop that boba.

[A]

Let me make sure the mic's on the full circle.

[B]

I don't know if you guys have heard, but it's a directional mic. So I wanted to come back on here and spread some comfort because we have been ring a ling in the hanta bell. And let me tell you, she is

[A]

real and she's coming for your soul brother.

[B]

No, just kidding. Hantavirus Health officials said the risk of the to the public remains extremely low.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But the unusual outbreak has drawn international attention because hantavirus is usually spread by rodents, not people. But when I googled it recently, like, as recent as April 10, 2025, three people died of hantavirus in California, and none of us cared then. So we can all just chill out right now.

[A]

So everything's fine.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Okay, well, how about these poppin boba margaritas and chili?

[B]

Does everybody feel more comfortable now?

[A]

Not really. Now I'm like. I'm actually really fearful of eating from all kitchens now. Like, because what's saying they aren't like any restaurant or any grocery store. What to say their backstock doesn't have rodents? Or the cars that food's being transported in doesn't have rodents? It's like, nothing's immune to, like, rodents taking over, you know? Oh, and if any restaurant had rodents in hanta, it's gonna be this chili. Now you're trying to get sued by chilies.

[B]

Allegedly. Allegedly.

[A]

If you're gonna sue someone, it's Chris.

[B]

Let's be clear about that. Chris said that of his own will and volition. It is Chris's opinion and not ours.

[A]

We love chili's, Lizzie and I. I love. I love chilies.

[B]

Chilies.

[A]

This particular chilies had no AC and was crazy.

[B]

The last time we went, whoa, Chris has a beef. Five seconds ago, off camera, Chris was like, no, chilies is a bad chili.

[A]

I still. I stand by it. I stand by it. I still love it. I still love it. I still love it. But I. I wonder if we should force Lizzie to Old Navy and see if we can convert her to somebody that likes it. It's owned by Gap. You are such a weird person. What if you like it in there? Have you been.

[B]

No. Hashtag, Is that Red Lobster closed?

[A]

What?

[B]

Or is it open? Why do we never go there?

[A]

I mean, it's a place for divorcees,

[B]

which could be us. No, no, but it could be. We're married now.

[A]

It won't be for me.

[B]

Well, you can't get divorced unless you're married first, so I'm just saying. Okay, well, I mean, I'm not saying I want a divorce or that we should get divorced. I think our marriages are great and we'll stand the test of time, but I am saying we're halfway to a divorce.

[A]

Okay, well, I'm pulling a crazy.

[B]

Only because we're married.

[A]

Only. Yeah. Oh, God. What's this person doing? I wanted the shade spot. They're ruining my life.

[B]

That Mother Kia.

[A]

I bet he wants to continue ruining.

[B]

So we're not going to Red Lobster.

[A]

I will not. You and Chris can go. We could like, you know where I could film an inner splice. Like your guys experience and my experience. Oh, now if this Prius takes my shaded spot.

[B]

The mother Prius.

[A]

He didn't. Thank you. Oh my gosh. This guy's washing her car. That is crazy. Should I have him wash mine while I'm eating?

[B]

Have him wash mine. What about the cars next to this car that he's washing?

[A]

Yeah, flash won't hurt.

[B]

No. Like this car is drenched.

[A]

Yeah. That's crazy, huh?

[B]

What is going on here?

[A]

Does this. Is this person working at Chili's having their car washed also?

[B]

I like that car. Is it just me or is the Honda getting sexier?

[A]

That is like such a you car. Do you want to get that? It's very awesome.

[B]

I can only drive a Tesla. I don't know how to drive a regular car anymore.

[A]

That's so Lizzie's always like, I don't know how you go from the Tesla to a regular car. Like, how are you even capable?

[B]

No, I physically can't.

[A]

It drives very different.

[B]

I truly can't. You guys might recall recently did a sponsored ad for a rented car that was not a Tesla. Couldn't drive it away from the curb. Joe had to take that car.

[A]

All right, let's go to Chili's. Woo. What's happening? My kids are at the splash pad while we're at work. Stupid.

[B]

Let's go to the splash pad.

[A]

Wow. Why aren't they working? Really? I hate to say it. Thousand Oaks is the most fun for kids. Should we move to Thousand Oaks? They have unlimited activities for kids. And when I look. Oh, here's the weird walk again. I don't know how to do it. I don't know.

[B]

I don't know how to do this

[A]

on a different platform. But just know Chris is a weird walker.

[B]

A weird walker.

[A]

Who's going to open this door?

[B]

Me. Are you afraid to get the Hanta?

[A]

Yeah. Chili's door handles are Chili's. Look, Chris, it's right here. The popping Boba Margarita.

[B]

Popping Margarita.

[A]

Wow. Are there different flavors? Oh, wow. Wow. I have to apologize immediately because the AC is great in here. It feels really good. So we got three pop and boba margaritas, one non alcoholic for Liz. Chris and I are gonna get lit. It's my birthday.

[B]

Yay, Cook Leonas. Thank you.

[A]

And while that wears off, we're gonna shop at Old Navy for babies.

[B]

Are we really?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I have to like have an Hour afterwards. But have you been. No, Never.

[B]

A severely disappointed.

[A]

Disappointed. Well, we're gonna find out. I mean, if there's somewhere else you would like in this, I mean, you'll

[B]

probably have more fun at Trader Joe's.

[A]

I don't think I would.

[B]

Really.

[A]

I don't like a grocery store.

[B]

You don't want to go to IHOP or.

[A]

We hate that.

[B]

Do you want to go to Jersey Mike's?

[A]

We really have a big fe.

[B]

You love furniture. There's furniture shopping right there.

[A]

This is the cold Storm case.

[B]

I know you get in a fight with a stranger. You love fighting with strangers. What are we going to do at Old Media? Discuss.

[A]

But you see what I mean. That.

[B]

No, it's not that I hate Chili's. It's.

[A]

This area is weird. This area is weird as. Oh, you know what? Let's take some thumbnail pictures. I think this Chili's was just struggling in the dead of summer when we came here last. But this Chili's is a vibe. It's really nice.

[B]

The party is jumping, jumping.

[A]

And all of us are like, you know what? We take it back.

[B]

We take it back.

[A]

I fully take it back. I apologize.

[B]

Even Chris was committed. Like I'm committed to Old Navy being a trash.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

And then chips. Kilo case took me right out of taste.

[A]

Thank you. Let's.

[B]

Hold. The C is hot.

[A]

Okay. Thank you.

[B]

We'll be chill.

[A]

Chris, take my seat. I wonder if you should hold a chip in your. This hand. Go like you're going to dip it and look up steam. Okay, perfect. What do you want me to do? Like, go like you're going to sip the drink. Can you pick it up? Oh, so we can see the boat.

[B]

Oh, that's already disgusting.

[A]

I smell it. Look at the camera. Okay. Sugar rim. That's fun. Oh, you guys are really that offput by the actual flavor itself?

[B]

At first I was, and now I love it.

[A]

It's just strong. Oh, it all sank to the bottom. When I drink it from the top, it's really light. I think you really have to stir it. Let me get a boba. The boba's fun.

[B]

Is it bubblegum flavored?

[A]

What is this flavor? Oh, it's fun when they pop. Yeah, right. I actually really like the flavor. It's okay. Lemon vodka, tequila, watermelon, House made sour, and dragon fruit boba.

[B]

I guess I just don't understand why people use vodka as a flavor a drink.

[A]

It kind of was like a warhead for me with that first sip.

[B]

You look like you're in the witness protection program.

[A]

You really do. Wow. I actually think it's really good. It's very sweet, but as like a warm, you know, it's good. That first sip didn't make you want to do lemon face. Cuz that's how I feel.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, but maybe it's just cuz I love lemons.

[B]

He loves lemons.

[A]

Honestly, the flavors for me. Here's the ingredients. Okay. So do you think the marketing image was from chat GPT? Probably. Because it really is nice. All of the bobas just like floating in the abyss. All right, we'll be back with our food. We were just discussing, I hear Shane's argument when it comes to the chips. Like, yeah, it's breakable. It doesn't hold. Especially if you're having guac. It's like they don't hold a lot. But the flavor, incredible. Perfectly salted salsa. Delicious. Yeah. Like if you can get past the breaking, it's really a good chance.

[B]

Yeah, but you gotta get past the breaking.

[A]

You have to get accustomed to. You have to hold it very delicately. You have to know how to hold it. You have to learn how to eat a Chili's chip.

[B]

Respect the Chili's chip.

[A]

Yeah. Honestly, Shane just needs to put some respect on Chili's this time. And last time we also had incredible service. Like, it's not hard to find, which

[B]

is hard to find in the tmz.

[A]

Maybe I should ask the Chili's managers where they find employees.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How are you scouting your employees? And the margarita is really growing on me. I mean, I liked it from the jump, but I had no breakfast and I never drink alcohol. Am I drunk? Oh, he's going to be. He's gonna have so much fun at Old Navy. The footage is unusable. I'm like, wow, I'm not getting in a way mode to go to the emergency room. Oh, yeah. We are not going with you to the emergency. If this is gonna send you to the emergency room room, you need to stop because I do not have time for that today. I haven't even had the queso yet.

[B]

I've made a conscious decision to not care about it.

[A]

About what?

[B]

If Chris sends himself into an alcoholic death.

[A]

Oh, yeah, we're just gonna. We'll drop him off at Kaiser on our way back.

[B]

Is it on the way?

[A]

It is. It's like a three minute detour, but it's something I can justify. Thank you so much. I'll tell your mom and boyfriend to meet you there. We dropped Chris off at Kaiser. Hope you can Meet him there. We've got to go. What's in the queso, love. I love this song. It's probably going to get us demonetized. Is it like beans and beans and

[B]

something that's beef adjacent.

[A]

Beef, beans and beef. Beef and beans. Beef adjacent. The playlist here is also incredible. Reenact it for us. She's dancing. Get the chip.

[B]

Isn't it crazy that we're middle age?

[A]

I honestly love it. I'm having so much more fun in my 30s than I did in my 20s period.

[B]

Wait till you get to 40, honey.

[A]

I can't wait.

[B]

I'm fully liberated up this.

[A]

You're 40?

[B]

I'm just living as if I am so that it doesn't feel so crazy

[A]

when I want to with you every day. I did unfortunately just break a chip in this also, which I have to give. Shame. It's annoying. I like the flavor, but it's annoying. I was going for a big salsa dip.

[B]

So who's the problem really? The big dipper.

[A]

Today's is a great time. All right. Thank you so much. Did you get this too, dude? The side plates as well.

[B]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[A]

Picked. Wow. Gorgeous. Be right back.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Thank you. Thank you all so much. The sizzle's incredible.

[B]

My crazier. Cuz he has such a sweetness to him.

[A]

It's like kable. Everyone here is incredible. We got the steak fajitas. Delish. I didn't know you could get just an all egg roll platter. Here we are. And Chris got the triple diplo. By the way, you made my day. Because the one thing I was missing that I was like, I need the southwestern egg rolls. But I was debating between that and the big mouth bite. And I was like, I guess I'll get this. But I'm missing the egg rolls. And then you got it and made my face.

[B]

I have horrible news.

[A]

What?

[B]

I'm out of bobas.

[A]

Oh, you could probably ask for some more.

[B]

I probably could. And you know what? I will. Okay. Watch it. I'm loving the boba margarita with no alcohol.

[A]

It really is fun, huh? Yes.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

This is moving up the spread. I'm gonna put this over here so everyone can grab. Wow, this spread is crazy. It's so good.

[B]

This goes crazy.

[A]

If anyone would like anything from here, please, please. Do you want one of these? No, sir, not at all.

[B]

Fine. That's how easy it is.

[A]

Okay, we'll make our. Well, I don't know. What do you want to try on camera first? Lizzie's living here. Let me try a piece of I

[B]

got to live now, cuz I'm taking me to Old Navy after.

[A]

Good. Let me try it. Get a bite of an EG roll.

[B]

Do we not have any silverware right here?

[A]

Oh. Oh, wow. These really are a cut above Cheesecake Factory.

[B]

They're so hot.

[A]

Oh, my God. Cheesecake Factory could never. I. I like Cheesecake Factory, but they have nothing on the egg rolls. All right.

[B]

Not a thing.

[A]

Not one damn thing. What are you gonna try? Oh, let's see if we get a cheese pull for Chris. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

[B]

Cheese, cheese.

[A]

It's close, so let me come around. Should I bite it? Should I break it and pull it? I would bite and pull. Okay. Oh, shoot.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Honestly, that's for the thumbnail. Get over there.

[B]

Oh, my God. Don't get any ideas. He's in a relationship. All right. Wow.

[A]

That is crazy. She's making her taco or her fajita. Is it, though, once you put it in form of a taco?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

We need your all's input.

[B]

What's a vagina one once it's in the burrito?

[A]

That's hard to tell. The cheese pull was never ending. Literally wouldn't stop. I had to decide to stop for it. Wow. We need your first bite of that. Do you want any cheese or sour cream?

[B]

I'm a dairy light.

[A]

Oh, okay. Well, the dress is pretty.

[B]

I think it's too big.

[A]

T. Are you renting it, or did you buy it so you could buy it in a size smaller or rent

[B]

it in a size smaller? She's falling off my little frail body.

[A]

It's. Is it delicious?

[B]

It is delicious. And it's dairy life.

[A]

Having the time of my life, and I just needed to say. I forgot how good the big bites are. They're really good. I'm so happy. Oh, yeah. I'm so happy. Wow. Are you also having the time of your life? Yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I. And I even put the queso from our queso dip into my taco with a fajita. And we got more burger.

[B]

Thank you so much.

[A]

Don't take. Oh, you got to leave, like, a couple for Chris.

[B]

And on a couple, you guys have blue margaritas.

[A]

You can take 3, 4.

[B]

Order your own extras.

[A]

Oh, my God. Okay, just give me, like, three or four, and then give Chris a few. That's good. That's good. You can pour the. I want you to. That's funny for me. Thank you. So they literally just brought extra boba?

[B]

Yep. Boba on demand.

[A]

Incredible. What seasoning did you get on your. You put the queso dip in there? Yes. You're a genius. I'm not stupid.

[B]

You don't get to be middle aged by not putting the queso in there.

[A]

Yes, you know. Wow. Well, I've only had this much and I, like, fill it. So. I'm drunk. I can't drive a normal car. Oh, no. We should have brought the Tesla. I forgot you're sober. That's like, oh, my God. We can drink as much as we want. Hey, let's go. We have driver another round.

[B]

I couldn't drive.

[A]

Hey, girls. That's a wrap on chili's. Less than $100. Whoa. For the three margaritas and all the food that we.

[B]

All of us were overserved.

[A]

We were. We're so full. Chris has some to go.

[B]

Look how absurd these titties are. This one is full.

[A]

And that chili was freezing.

[B]

Wait, get out of the doorway.

[A]

People want to live their lives incredibly freezing. Yeah.

[B]

I walked out here and I'm confused by how the summer day is.

[A]

It was like Antarctica in there. It was so cold.

[B]

What is it? November?

[A]

Which is a compliment, you know. All right, girls. Well, that was a very fun sip. Tune into the after sip. We're headed to Old Navy next. On top of this birthday extravaganza that we've been having. Yay. And we love you very much. We'll see you next week. Everyone's links are in the description section below.

[B]

We're walking.

[A]

And goodbye. And that's the sip.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

Chris.
