Speaker 3: one fifth of the Backstory Boys when I went on
Speaker 3: this little self journey. This past summer, I spent ten
Speaker 3: weeks out in Scottsdale, Arizona, went to an amazing place
Speaker 3: for a intensive outpatient program called The Meadows. Not so
Speaker 3: much for my sobriety, but really to kind of get
Speaker 3: to the roots and clean out the pipes and you know,
Speaker 3: deal with some past traumas and whatnot. And you know,
Speaker 3: learned two very key words that I never used in
Speaker 3: my vocabulary since birth. One is boundaries. That's a big one.
Speaker 2: Love that word. Well, it's a big word. Yeah, when
Speaker 2: you're born.
Speaker 3: That's a lot to say, a lot of syllables that
Speaker 3: And then authenticity you know, right, that's another one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, thank you, thank you to the most amazing
Speaker 3: woman that I've never met, and I cannot wait to
Speaker 3: meet miss Brene Brown.
Speaker 2: She really inspired.
Speaker 3: And so oh she's incredible, does a bunch of ted
Speaker 3: talks and she is phenomenal. Her mantra is Braving, which
Speaker 3: I got tattooed on my arm, which stands for boundaries, reliability, accountability, fault, integrity,
Speaker 3: non judgment, and gratitude.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So Alexander James is me being my true
Speaker 3: authentic self And uh as I said to you earlier
Speaker 3: before we started. Alexander James has a bone to pick

Speaker 3: I you know, Pride Pride just happened here. I texted
Speaker 3: you twice. You did come out hanging out with you guys,
Speaker 3: and I got crickets crickets.
Speaker 1: I did not get a message.
Speaker 2: Wow, get your Instagram going having so much fun.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Wow, I did not see this.
Speaker 2: It was like you had fun scene in the morning
Speaker 2: because you're a dad.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm up at seven. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I did not see this.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Rude, yeah, rude.
Speaker 1: So do you want to hang for Pride?
Speaker 4: That's weird?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, sure, fit me in next.
Speaker 1: You know, Pride was so fun this year because we
Speaker 1: had zero plans. Usually always, you know, hang out either
Speaker 1: at Heart or Rocos, and I just kind of sit
Speaker 1: there and watch the craziness happen. This year I went
Speaker 1: into the festival for the first time and it was
Speaker 1: a crazy lineup. We had Kylie Minogue, we had dip
Speaker 1: Lo Bbi Rex, Lambert Lamber.
Speaker 2: It was all my friends. Thank you.
Speaker 1: It was fun. It was fun. So yeah, four other
Speaker 1: Bags boys, the other four Backstree boys.
Speaker 2: They didn't invite you, just left the tour. He was there.
Speaker 1: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: Should have been there, yeah, I should have should have.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was fun and the most visited Pride
Speaker 1: in history I think so far. Yeah, some records. So
Speaker 1: take that. Sorry for shoving it in your face out there,
Speaker 1: but here we are. I know this. That's the funniest
Speaker 1: phrase to me. Just don't shove it down my throat,
Speaker 1: don't put it in my face, and just like, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about?
Speaker 4: Things that are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but somehow I came back from Pride and I
Speaker 1: didn't notice until like a few days later. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm scratching the back of my head. I'm like, something's
Speaker 1: wrong with my hair right here, and I realized that
Speaker 1: it had been burnt. Someone burned my hair. And the
Speaker 1: only thing I can think of is someone just took
Speaker 1: a lighter and just went because it was.
Speaker 4: Just next to a heater.
Speaker 1: I think I would have felt that.
Speaker 2: I don't know you would have felt if somebody.
Speaker 1: Well I thought so too, but I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I did have a drink or maybe you
Speaker 1: just have a crusty yeah, but yeah, so someone burnt
Speaker 1: my hair or I burnt my hair. I don't know, but.
Speaker 2: That's that's the truth, Michaels. Michael's giving me shifty eyes, like,
Speaker 2: maybe that's the person you.
Speaker 1: Do this to me? That does sound like something you
Speaker 1: would do. What your hair is?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 1: Right? Well, it is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to
Speaker 1: two amazing, three amazing dads here, and we're amazing, amazed.
Speaker 1: I am a good dad. I think I'm a good dat.
Speaker 1: But I'm glad that you are here because I want
Speaker 1: to get into because y'all have been dads longer than
Speaker 1: we have. So we're gonna need some advice, I think,
Speaker 1: because we're now getting to that age where they're really impressionable.
Speaker 1: Now there, you know, they can they just learn things.
Speaker 1: And now now we have to watch right, Okay, we've
Speaker 1: got to watch what we say we do. So now
Speaker 1: now we have to like really be in it instead
Speaker 1: of just looking at them like, oh, there's nothing I
Speaker 1: could do for your just a blob sitting there on
Speaker 1: the couch. Now they're like human beings ready to go.
Speaker 1: So my question to you guys is, uh, is there
Speaker 1: something that you wish you would have done when they
Speaker 1: were younger that you didn't do that you're like, oh man,
Speaker 1: when they were two, I wish I would have started this.
Speaker 1: I know I was a perfect dad, because one thing
Speaker 1: that I want to do is, you know, they get
Speaker 1: a lot of art right there at school. They come
Speaker 1: home with all this art, and like, what do you
Speaker 1: do with it? You know, do you save it memory box? Like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's a lot. But now they have these books
Speaker 1: now that you can just send in the photos and
Speaker 1: they create it, right. So we're going to start doing
Speaker 1: that for the next birthday. So every birthday we're going
Speaker 1: to collect all their art and do that. And I'm
Speaker 1: understating how.
Speaker 2: Big the room is going to have to be houses
Speaker 2: this collection of books.
Speaker 1: But they're pretty thin books. They're pretty thin books, and
Speaker 1: we're going to combine on both kids are going to
Speaker 1: have one book. So you know, wait, how how old
Speaker 1: are your kids now?
Speaker 2: Two and a half? Two and a half. I mean
Speaker 2: the last I had probably more fun than the kids did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would you do.
Speaker 2: Birthday party? That place was incredible.
Speaker 1: Little candy Land. When we were kids, we didn't have
Speaker 1: that crap, you know, we just had the McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Where was what was the play? It was also called
Speaker 2: candy It's like an indoor playground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like indoor playground, and there's Mickey and Minnie showed up.
Speaker 1: And scary Mickey Minni.
Speaker 2: They were a little like they were.

Speaker 1: Skinny and tall like slender.
Speaker 3: Many had the adorable outfits.
Speaker 2: They were full on, a league of their own, and
Speaker 2: these two baseball as soon as you walked in, I'm like,
Speaker 2: that was.
Speaker 1: Just it was great where we have. So they were
Speaker 1: Halloween babies, so of course every year for their birthday
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a Halloween party, which is
Speaker 1: my favorite holiday. And they're obsessed even to this day.
Speaker 1: They only asked for scary things to read, like scary

Speaker 5: My eight year old is all about like all the
Speaker 5: horror games and the horror things, and it's all like
Speaker 5: five nights at Freddy's time and like all of these things.
Speaker 1: I love that because I grew up with scary Halloween
Speaker 1: like my grandfather, my dad. They were all about just
Speaker 1: doing scary and I love that because it desensitized me
Speaker 1: to Halloween. I always I was never scared of I like.
Speaker 2: I used to do a haunted house. I won't do
Speaker 2: Halloween hard nights. I don't like to be scared, you know,
Speaker 2: like I jumping.
Speaker 3: I don't like people like my knee jerk reaction is
Speaker 3: to punch you in the face. I don't want that,
Speaker 3: but I will watch the goryoust most revolting films.
Speaker 1: I love her See. I'm the same way. I don't
Speaker 1: like being scared, but I scare the crap of of
Speaker 1: him all the time.
Speaker 2: I think, I know you guy.
Speaker 5: You guys ever go to the Haunted hay Ride and
Speaker 5: that's not that's not scary. Well the hay Ride, you
Speaker 5: know they ride is a Griffith Park.
Speaker 2: That's my old so they do.
Speaker 5: They do the walk through mazes and some of those
Speaker 5: get the hay Ride. I used to go to when
Speaker 5: they first started, and it was scary, like they had
Speaker 5: that you get to a section, there'd be were wolves
Speaker 5: or like Jason Vore, he's auld be on a hill
Speaker 5: like all these cool things.
Speaker 2: Now it's not as not.
Speaker 1: As part of it.
Speaker 2: But the walk through.
Speaker 1: The thing that gets me on that walk through is
Speaker 1: at the end when that tunnel where it starts you.
Speaker 4: It's like walking through like like if you're claustophobic, because
Speaker 4: like you're through like a giants anus.
Speaker 1: Out and you're like, is uh.
Speaker 2: They had one maze where you had to like crawl through.
Speaker 5: They had just like this little kind of cut out
Speaker 5: in the wall and the guy was like pointing to
Speaker 5: it and I was like, I'm not that's like and
Speaker 5: he was like, no, that's the only way to go.
Speaker 4: There's a really good one, remember the one we went to.
Speaker 4: There's one in the thirteen Doors seventeen doors I've heard
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 2: Oh nothing's as bad as what is it?
Speaker 3: Mcamee manner, Like that's a whole like you're physically.
Speaker 2: Being tortured, Like to is that out of state?
Speaker 3: It's out of state and it's like you like a
Speaker 3: forty page waiver and no one's ever completed it.
Speaker 1: There's been two documentaries on it. One just came out
Speaker 1: about how this guy is not good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: For free and there's like waitless forever and he goes
Speaker 4: to his house and he like tortures people.
Speaker 2: From they'll pull your teeth out, they'll like make food. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't understand what. What's the the.
Speaker 3: New thing though for us that my best friends got
Speaker 3: me and my kids hooked up, which like we are
Speaker 3: obsessed now is escape rooms. Escape rooms is all the
Speaker 3: rage and a couple of my kids love them and
Speaker 3: one hates love him skap rooms because it's also good
Speaker 3: team building, like having you know, a four year gap
Speaker 3: between both my girls. You know, they're always kind of
Speaker 3: competing for the attention and competing, you know, which is natural.
Speaker 3: But now in this type of a scenario, we all
Speaker 3: have to work together, and they do so well, like
Speaker 3: they're smarter than dad.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that I I suck at escape rooms terrible, terrible,
Speaker 5: like all sitting on it for like ten minutes and be.
Speaker 2: Like I have not.
Speaker 1: We've done like four and like two are just crappy.
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, and then two are really good. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they're a very hit or miss, very hit or miss.
Speaker 1: We did. Speaking of haunted houses, which I love as
Speaker 1: a kid, always built harnted houses, like that was my thing,
Speaker 1: Like you take the garage over, you know, trigger treating.
Speaker 5: Halloween, My mom take graves in the front yard. Have
Speaker 5: I wear my Freddy Krueger costume or hop about and
Speaker 5: kids didn't want to walk down the lall we did.
Speaker 1: We lived into Luca Lake years ago, and uh it
Speaker 1: was we rented this house because we were living in
Speaker 1: New York at the time. Uh, the old Jonas brother's house,
Speaker 1: which was funny because like little kids and mail would
Speaker 1: come for them all the time. Like this is ironic
Speaker 1: trying to find Jonas buzs and you find an instinct number. Uh.
Speaker 1: So we were we were moving out or November first.
Speaker 1: We had to be out right, so we had all
Speaker 1: the furniture of the house and we were in this neighborhood, which,
Speaker 1: if to Luca Lake is the best place to go
Speaker 1: trick or treating is I've never in my life everyone
Speaker 1: has full candy bars. It is nuts. Thousands of kids
Speaker 1: get bust in their nuts. So like, why don't we
Speaker 1: just go ahead and build a haunted house, you know
Speaker 1: it's empty. So we did, and we kind of forgot
Speaker 1: that it was it was for kids. This is definitely
Speaker 1: from more adults. We had a dexter kill room. I
Speaker 1: mean it was there was elaborate.
Speaker 4: We had like thirty people will come.
Speaker 2: So you hired a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: Friends just came and it was so good and we
Speaker 1: kept telling the parents were like, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there is this is good for little kids, like oh fine,
Speaker 1: the amount of kids that pete and poop their pants
Speaker 1: and oh it was not but the best thing ever.
Speaker 1: Even it's on youtubef you want to see lances. So
Speaker 1: you were in other people's kids and I mean there
Speaker 1: because we did have halfway through there was an exit
Speaker 1: and they a lot of people use that.
Speaker 3: Where where I currently live, there's a there's one street
Speaker 3: in the community that goes SAMN and I mean it's
Speaker 3: it's better than Hard Knights in many ways. And there's
Speaker 3: a lot of the same houses. They do the same
Speaker 3: thing well.
Speaker 5: And people spend thousand, they heads of thousands. They'll have
Speaker 5: like easily skeleton like horses, animatronics, crazy.
Speaker 3: And there's one house right on the corner that does
Speaker 3: a haunted house every year. And Lyric, my youngest, was
Speaker 3: like the one pushing for us to go through it,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, do you really want.
Speaker 2: To do this, babe, And She's like, yeah, I got this.
Speaker 2: I got this. Within seconds of walking in, she attached
Speaker 2: herself to my leg didn't look and like, so thank
Speaker 2: you to my brother in law.
Speaker 3: He would go ahead of us and like tell the people, heay,
Speaker 3: we got a we got a six year old. She's
Speaker 3: freaking out, go easy. So we didn't really get to
Speaker 3: experience what they were gonna do because they will like
Speaker 3: run up and touch you and like get in your face.
Speaker 3: And then afterwards she's hysterically crying. We're about halfway back
Speaker 3: to my house and she's like, that was awesome.
Speaker 2: I did it. That was awesome, and now she wants
Speaker 2: to do it again. So she says, until you're there.
Speaker 2: We're there exactly until you're back in the hallway and leg.
Speaker 3: I mean, but they had some really clever like little
Speaker 3: rooms there. I mean it was there. They basically gutted
Speaker 3: their entire garage and their.
Speaker 2: Whole first floor crazy. I mean, they really go all out.
Speaker 5: I used to go to a not scary farm when
Speaker 5: like when it first opens, and they used to have
Speaker 5: some walk through.
Speaker 2: Mazes that were crazy.
Speaker 5: Like guys on like spongy cords jumping down and they
Speaker 5: come down and like spring back up, you know, two
Speaker 5: floors and like all sorts of for the.
Speaker 1: First time last year, and I'm like, yeah, it's definitely
Speaker 1: better than hard Knights. Oh yeah, it's a little scarier.
Speaker 1: And there's so many actors out there.
Speaker 2: And they smoked the whole thing up.
Speaker 5: It's like they're sliding at you on knee pads and
Speaker 5: they've got like the can.
Speaker 1: Do y'all have a favorite? Did y'all ever do family
Speaker 1: costumes with your kids? Like a group costume?
Speaker 3: We tried this year or this past year to be
Speaker 3: a Marvel family, and unfortunately my oldest daughter's costume didn't
Speaker 3: turn out the way she wanted, so she kind of
Speaker 3: was Scarlet Witch in her own way.
Speaker 1: I guess a little bit.
Speaker 2: Did she throw a wrench in the whole thing though?
Speaker 2: She was like she was just you know, she was
Speaker 2: really really upset about it.
Speaker 3: So we had to like last minute put together this
Speaker 3: kind of makeshift scarlet, which I've been the same thing
Speaker 3: the last five years. I found this amazing guy who
Speaker 3: used to work at Disney back in the day doing
Speaker 3: all of the costs and he since retired, and he
Speaker 3: made like a movie grade quality Deadpool costume, which is
Speaker 3: my favorite. You know, Ryan Reynolds is my mancarage. So
Speaker 3: that's what I've been every year and the kids go
Speaker 3: nuts because the costume is that good. But kids can
Speaker 3: be mean, Like when they ask me something and I respond,
Speaker 3: they're like, you.
Speaker 2: Don't sound like Ryan Reynolds. I'm not, you know what
Speaker 2: I will, you know. But this was the first year
Speaker 2: I didn't go as Deadpool.
Speaker 3: I went as Spider Man, but my my mask didn't
Speaker 3: work right, so I just kept the mask off, had
Speaker 3: the whole costume, had a backpack on, and just put
Speaker 3: a baseball cap on and I got more people loving
Speaker 3: the look of it than anything else. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: and we had to make shift because when he made it,
Speaker 3: he didn't put something in the crotch like a like
Speaker 3: a superhero has like that that Ken doll crosh right,
Speaker 3: So there was no cup there, right, Okay, So it's
Speaker 3: like full moose knuckle going on in this costume.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't want to freak out.
Speaker 3: These kids, you know, like very well, oh the Spider Man,
Speaker 3: what's happening right there?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But like, but this was the first time that there
Speaker 3: was more teenagers, which were kind of being kind of asses,
Speaker 3: like ruining it for all the little kids that want
Speaker 3: to go like trick or treating. So you know, I
Speaker 3: had to bite my top a lot.
Speaker 2: Area that street gets that way like later on in
Speaker 2: the night all the time. Yeah, I had to bite
Speaker 2: my tongue at the end. Yeah, it's like this is
Speaker 2: not for you.
Speaker 3: Like this is you know, you're past that age now, Yeah,
Speaker 3: what is six year old?
Speaker 2: Fans?
Speaker 1: What is the oldest you would want your kid to
Speaker 1: trigger treat? Is there a.
Speaker 2: Cutoff forty six? Yeah, I don't think there's a cutoff.
Speaker 2: I think there's just like a moral exactly.
Speaker 5: There should be some sort of like moral age online. Okay,
Speaker 5: don't don't be an asshole, don't don't like completely run
Speaker 5: over little kids, you know, and not look back.
Speaker 2: Or and if you're the parents, like don't don't wear
Speaker 2: like lingerie and things like I've seen some of the moms.
Speaker 2: Don't be a sexy nurse like not raggedy. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 2: no, no trick or.
Speaker 5: Treat street like saying that like you know, some some
Speaker 5: party at so exactly, or don't do that, don't do that.
Speaker 2: Go to the Hollywood Cemetery.
Speaker 1: It's about birds and the bees. Now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this next one, I think the plan, if hopefully
Speaker 3: I'm home, is to do the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2: That's the next family.
Speaker 1: Your guys gonna do that one too?
Speaker 3: Is still no, no, no, I'm gonna make my own because
Speaker 3: I'm the Scarecrow, so that's pretty easy to do. Elliott
Speaker 3: wants to be Toto, Lyric wants to be Dorothy. Uh
Speaker 3: my brother in law wants to be the Cowardly Lion.
Speaker 3: But he wants to be the Cowardly Lion version from
Speaker 3: American Dad.
Speaker 2: So he's got like he's all like the.
Speaker 3: Cowardly line on top, but from the bottom down he's
Speaker 3: in heels and like fish nets.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, whatever, dude, all right, man, bring it.
Speaker 1: That's a choice.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's a sexy yes, okay, but they get I
Speaker 2: think Rochelle's either going to be the tin Man or
Speaker 2: the Wicked Witch. I'm not sure she hasn't see.
Speaker 1: I love group costumes and we try to think of
Speaker 1: one every year. Every year. This is the third one
Speaker 1: we're gonna have, but yeah, there's always one. Because we
Speaker 1: were trying to do which which one did Panucci not
Speaker 1: want to wear, like, well, you just run a whole
Speaker 1: family costume. He wouldn't put something on his head where
Speaker 1: it was Yeah, it was yeah, but what was it
Speaker 1: was a group anyway, It's supposed to be teen wolf,
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the group.
Speaker 2: For me.
Speaker 5: As the kids like continued to come like as I
Speaker 5: had more and more, it was like, my my costume
Speaker 5: now is like whatever I can move in the easiest.
Speaker 5: I need to safely get them through a neighborhood.
Speaker 1: And I don't like to be hot.
Speaker 2: I don't like to be hot. I don't like to
Speaker 2: be uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: Well, and it's like you spend hours working on costumes
Speaker 5: for the kids and then they want a trick or treat,
Speaker 5: they want to do one lap, and then they're done
Speaker 5: because they've got their bag of candy.
Speaker 1: And you're like, what did I put all this work

Speaker 2: It's not amazing, right, it was just for I think.
Speaker 1: It is still right now. I think it's there for
Speaker 1: a couple of monks here.
Speaker 2: We just went a few weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I want to go to the So there's another airbnb.
Speaker 3: I don't know where it's at, and it's the X
Speaker 3: Men ninety seven. Oh yes, and it's every room it's
Speaker 3: all done like the old comics and just like the
Speaker 3: actual TV show, you can stay there, stay there in
Speaker 3: like Jubileese room or in beasts room. I'm a huge
Speaker 3: comic book guy and Marvel, so I'm like, and when
Speaker 3: you walk in, there's a sentinel head in the front
Speaker 3: driveway like it's daywhen.
Speaker 1: And you're watching ninety seven, right, it's the new show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet, Oh so good, loves it
Speaker 1: so good.
Speaker 2: Same the first one that was Saturday mornings for me,
Speaker 2: me too.
Speaker 1: So exactly. So yeah. So now that we've done the
Speaker 1: superhero thing, I think every year I want to try
Speaker 1: to find a designer just to make us a new
Speaker 1: superhero suit every year. So every year we're just a
Speaker 1: different superhero, all right, because there's just they love it
Speaker 1: and they ask to wear it every day. Superhero. He's
Speaker 1: bubble neote because he wants his powers or bubbles. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: and she is ultraviolet ultra violet. Is this a Halloween
Speaker 1: episode or what?
Speaker 2: Like Father's Day? By the way, happy Father's Day?
Speaker 1: Is there a holiday that is the most fun for
Speaker 1: you and your family?
Speaker 2: So I think I think Halloween's the most fun. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, Halloween and or Christmas, Halloween.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Christmas is fun, but Christmas is So we tried
Speaker 5: a new thing last Christmas, which a friend of mine
Speaker 5: suggested and I was. I tried it and I was like,
Speaker 5: it's amazing. Normally Christmas morning, everybody gets to the tree,
Speaker 5: they tear everything apart, and it's over in like fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: Ye're like, oh my god, I've been working for like
Speaker 5: three months.
Speaker 1: That's me.
Speaker 2: So he was like, instead, you do a couple of presents.
Speaker 5: Then everybody gets up, puts on their pajamas, goes outside
Speaker 5: for like a walk or does something, and you come
Speaker 5: back in. You do a couple more presents, and then
Speaker 5: you have you make breakfast, and you do so we
Speaker 5: ended up stretching Christmas out through the entire day's idea.
Speaker 5: It's really good the kids then, because they had time
Speaker 5: after they open presents, I'd put them together, they'd play
Speaker 5: with them. The problem leading up to this was like
Speaker 5: my kids would find things and they go.
Speaker 2: Hey, I've got this. I was like, yay, you got that.
Speaker 5: For Christmas last year, they had no idea because they
Speaker 5: just shove everything to close. Because they have the two
Speaker 5: things that they remember at the end of their half
Speaker 5: hour destructions. So it was amazing and it was great,
Speaker 5: and then people came by and they brought presents and
Speaker 5: so it was like this slow It really ended up
Speaker 5: being like a family experience.
Speaker 1: I'm going to do that this year. I think that
Speaker 1: was a really good idea because I'm the person that
Speaker 1: I'll go all out for that type stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: I plan it for days this year. I was also
Speaker 1: on TikTok, which we're going to make a tradition where
Speaker 1: h so you know where the tree is and all
Speaker 1: the presents are in the living room, Well, we put
Speaker 1: wrapping paper on the entryway, so it's just one big
Speaker 1: present basically, and so we all stand there and we
Speaker 1: count to three and then they have to bust through it.
Speaker 1: And then when you bust through it, you see the
Speaker 1: magic of Christmas, right, I mean, it is such a
Speaker 1: fun moment. But then they just fly through the present.
Speaker 1: So I'm definitely taking your advice.
Speaker 5: Works really well, and it made it like a fun
Speaker 5: family day.
Speaker 2: It was and the kids.
Speaker 5: I was afraid the kids would be like, you know,
Speaker 5: just like foaming at the mouth to open more stuff,
Speaker 5: and they were fine. They they played with everything that
Speaker 5: they got during the day.
Speaker 2: I still have batteries and toys and have.
Speaker 1: So many presents that have not even been like unwrapped,
Speaker 1: that are just in the garage waiting for next Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just it's just too much.
Speaker 3: There's a there's a basketball goal that still is in
Speaker 3: the box that I got for Elliott because she was
Speaker 3: all about basketball and then like she's over it now.
Speaker 2: I'm like, really, I mean I can't return it now.
Speaker 2: There receipts not good anymore. We've had Barbie signed the
Speaker 2: box and sell it there.
Speaker 1: We have had Hot Wheels, some crazy huge Hot Wheels
Speaker 1: thing and the Barbie dream House in our garage, just
Speaker 1: waiting for them to turn three because it says three plus.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, okay, we're gonna wait till three plus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I just thing is gonna take up too much
Speaker 1: fucking room in my house, like we're already we're we
Speaker 1: like minimalism and so you know, we.
Speaker 3: Definitely doesn't work with We're a big Legos family. We're
Speaker 3: a big Lego We hadn't gotten too the Legos yet.
Speaker 3: We we love Legos, like there's obviously the more adult
Speaker 3: ones that are like three thousand pieces, but like Lyric
Speaker 3: and Rachelle just did.
Speaker 2: One of of.
Speaker 3: Of a stitch and it's freaking awesome and like she's
Speaker 3: so proud that she did it. Granted she's seven, but
Speaker 3: still legos is that's a that's a really good one.
Speaker 2: But I'm definitely gonna use that shocked pace of play.
Speaker 1: And I always do you know the Christmas Eve, you
Speaker 1: have one that you know, open up and usually it's
Speaker 1: I like to do the pajamas so we can all
Speaker 1: wake up in our little Christmas So we were.
Speaker 2: At Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3: Everything family growing up, All the presents were on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3: Christmas Day was just food.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: What's another idea too that that my fiance saw on
Speaker 5: on Instagram. I think it was that seemed really cool
Speaker 5: that you can only do for a few years. Someone
Speaker 5: in the family would dress up like Santa Claus and
Speaker 5: be putting presents under.
Speaker 2: The tree the night before.
Speaker 5: The kids could come out and see him, but couldn't
Speaker 5: speak to him. So they saw the magic of like
Speaker 5: Santa doing this stuff, so they knew he was there,
Speaker 5: but then they had to go back in their rooms,
Speaker 5: and so it's all about like, you know, he's there,
Speaker 5: but no interaction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously you don't want to turn and face. I
Speaker 2: still believe. I still believe.
Speaker 1: Are you catch it on the rdom camera? I still
Speaker 1: believe what you catch it on the ring camera?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: Are we do we want any? Are we done?
Speaker 2: Are we? What?
Speaker 1: Are we done? With kids? You want more? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Even numbers good?
Speaker 1: Even five?
Speaker 2: Five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's odd. I'm just saying, yeah, I was gonna
Speaker 1: say yous for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's I mean, and yours ranges? What
Speaker 2: twenty two to almost two? O?
Speaker 1: You? When do you sleep?
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't.
Speaker 5: It's uh, it's amazing though. It's I've learned so much
Speaker 5: having kids because you you realize, especially when you're five,
Speaker 5: in that like, oh you start off thinking, oh I
Speaker 5: want my son and my daughter to be like a
Speaker 5: little version of me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love dancing, love the.
Speaker 5: Things that I love, and so you're you spend all
Speaker 5: this time trying to like mold them and make them
Speaker 5: into something, and then you realize later on that it's
Speaker 5: like they're these kids, They're exactly.
Speaker 2: Who they are.
Speaker 5: You're not going to mold that at all. The only
Speaker 5: thing you can mold is morally making sure that they.
Speaker 1: Are good people.
Speaker 2: Going into the world doing whatever it is they're supposed
Speaker 2: to do. Because like, if I look at my parents,
Speaker 2: I'm so.
Speaker 1: Different from my parents. They are who they are and
Speaker 1: it's crazy we knew that, you like six months old.
Speaker 4: Different, Yeah, I guess six months our kids were so
Speaker 4: different and like they like just weird things that, like
Speaker 4: just the behavior everything.
Speaker 2: It's like, you can't they.
Speaker 1: Are who they are, yeah, and you can't. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't change.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 5: I think the more you stop like trying, you stop
Speaker 5: fighting that, and the more you just accept it and
Speaker 5: you like learn to enjoy.
Speaker 2: It, enjoy it and brazy because.
Speaker 5: Now I'm excited every time they do something new, when
Speaker 5: they do something that reminds me of me, or there's
Speaker 5: a similarity of like oh my god, you really love
Speaker 5: music as much as I do.
Speaker 1: Or it's cool but.
Speaker 5: I'm not pushing for it. Yeah, it's my oldest son
Speaker 5: now is acting. But he found it in school. He
Speaker 5: was doing theater in school and he found his own
Speaker 5: love for it. And it's like, it's amazing because I
Speaker 5: can share all of these experiences.
Speaker 1: I know. We Alexander started showing that he loves music,
Speaker 1: you know, loves playing instruments. So I'm like, okay, it's
Speaker 1: time to get a piano. Like, I'm going to get
Speaker 1: a keyboard for him, And so we go to Guitar
Speaker 1: Center and it was so fun to go there for
Speaker 1: the first time with your kids and let them see
Speaker 1: all the instruments and play everything. And then finally I'm
Speaker 1: on the keyboard and he loves it so much. He's
Speaker 1: already like mixing things. And then he pushes himself back
Speaker 1: and cracks his head on the fireplace and the back
Speaker 1: had three staples. So it's our first state. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: perfect baby, I mean so much moons.
Speaker 5: How I love that it ended with staples to stables.
Speaker 1: I know our poor a girl, Lisa Giggles, who everyone
Speaker 1: was on this show. She was our assistant for twenty
Speaker 1: years now. Almost like she's named.
Speaker 4: An ambulance with like our bloody song. We're like what
Speaker 4: she's like, Oh, he's.
Speaker 1: A fire truck ambulance, which they love. He's where.
Speaker 2: He's really good at the piano. Where do you see him.
Speaker 2: He's very practicing, really hard, play it like bach.
Speaker 1: But yeah, what was y'all's relationships with your dad's growing up?
Speaker 1: Oh wait again, let's unpack this let's unpack.
Speaker 2: That's up.
Speaker 3: That's a oh yeah, didn't have one.
Speaker 2: Dad wasn't there.
Speaker 3: I just recently reconnected with my dad after about forty.
Speaker 6: Years last October, when Joey and I were doing a
Speaker 6: con and then we did our first performance together in
Speaker 6: Tampa before the tour started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I just needed to kind of sit down.
Speaker 3: And it was after my whole stint in you know, Arizona,
Speaker 3: and I was, you know, I felt like I had
Speaker 3: the control to kind of sit this down and do
Speaker 3: this my way. And you know what was really frustrating
Speaker 3: more than anything was even after the conversation, you know,
Speaker 3: I kind of stepped away from it, felt a little
Speaker 3: better about things, but obviously I'm not ready to go
Speaker 3: play catch in the front yard. But what blew my
Speaker 3: mind was months later, we're in the Bahamas for How's birthday,
Speaker 3: his big old fiftieth birthday, and my mom calls me
Speaker 3: and she's, I don't know what brought this on, and
Speaker 3: she's like, you know, I just want to let you know.
Speaker 3: Don't know if you know, but your dad was a musician.
Speaker 3: That's how I met your dad.
Speaker 2: He was in a band.
Speaker 3: He played bass, And I'm sitting here going wow, like
Speaker 3: you kept that from me for so long? Like I
Speaker 3: didn't think anybody in my family was musically inclined except
Speaker 3: my grandmother who was an insane jazz pianist, but she
Speaker 3: got stage fright.
Speaker 2: She couldn't she just couldn't do it. But I'm like, wait,
Speaker 2: so my dad was a freaking musician, like seriously.
Speaker 3: And you know, so when I when I talked to
Speaker 3: him recently, we were that's all we talked about was
Speaker 3: just music. And He's like, you know, when I'm not
Speaker 3: of this world anymore, I want my collection of these
Speaker 3: amazing fenders and all these things to go somewhere.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, I'll take really good care of.
Speaker 3: Him, you know, but but yeah, yeah, you know it's
Speaker 3: a work in progress.
Speaker 1: Now do you did that heal you in any way?
Speaker 2: Because I know, I mean, it started it, but it
Speaker 2: started it.
Speaker 3: It started it, but it didn't it didn't close anything.
Speaker 3: Because my mom had kept letters from me, Christmas cards
Speaker 3: for like, she kept everything from me for years.
Speaker 5: Did he have a conversation with you and talk to
Speaker 5: you about like when you were born, what he was
Speaker 5: going through, Like what why the circumstances ended up the
Speaker 5: way they did.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, the gist of what I got from
Speaker 3: both my parents was, now that I've talked to both
Speaker 3: of them about it was that, you know, had me
Speaker 3: too young, wasn't ready for the responsibility kind of thing.
Speaker 3: But growing up, I was told my dad was jealous
Speaker 3: of me, that's why he left.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, how could you be jealous of your kid?
Speaker 2: Your kid's not even who told you that? My mom,
Speaker 2: my uncle who.
Speaker 3: Kind of took the place of like a father figure,
Speaker 3: and then my grandfather, and those are the only men
Speaker 3: in my life, you know. So looking back on it now,
Speaker 3: it's like it all makes sense why I took the
Speaker 3: path that I took outside of the drugs and alcohol
Speaker 3: and the party, but like even women and everything, like
Speaker 3: my whole perception of relationships and everything. And you know,
Speaker 3: I'll sell myself out objectifying people because that's all I knew.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't do that on purpose. I don't
Speaker 3: do that to this day, But it makes sense to
Speaker 3: me now why that was my perception of what's real
Speaker 3: and what's not. I had no one to really look
Speaker 3: up to or base any of this one, you know.
Speaker 3: But I mean we probably talk once a month. Right now,
Speaker 3: I'm still you know, he's been sick and not sick,
Speaker 3: and sick and not sick. So, you know, my mom
Speaker 3: asked me recently, She's like, if your dad passed away tomorrow,
Speaker 3: would you go to the funeral? I said, I really
Speaker 3: don't have an answer for that, because if they asked
Speaker 3: me to go and say something, what the.
Speaker 1: Hell do I say?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know anything about you.
Speaker 3: I know you're from Cambridge, mass you're a musician, and
Speaker 3: you're basically a certified genius like your IQ is through
Speaker 3: the roof. He's a techie, you know, worked for IBM.
Speaker 3: He spent up months or years I think living in Japan.
Speaker 3: You know, again, it's all fragments. You know, I don't
Speaker 3: know enough, but but.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're getting some of those answers.
Speaker 2: But if you look at him and me side by side,
Speaker 2: it's frightening. Really we are mannerisms, which is crazy, Like
Speaker 2: the way yeah, the way we sit, the way we talk,
Speaker 2: our cadence. I'm like, it's unselling to me, Like why.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see that in our son.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: It took a couple of years, but now I'm starting
Speaker 1: to see so much of myself. It took a couple
Speaker 1: year because he's only a couple year.
Speaker 2: It's entire life. It's his entire life for me to
Speaker 2: see he's just like me.
Speaker 1: At the first Hi, I'm like, oh, I don't like whatever.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think you look like me. Now he's
Speaker 1: starting to look more like me. He's starting to do
Speaker 1: the same things like oh crap.
Speaker 2: Like that's Elliott.
Speaker 5: I'll spot little things every once in a while, like
Speaker 5: I'll be doing something and I'll look.
Speaker 2: At my hands and I'll go, that's my dad's.
Speaker 5: It's so weird to see because I remember like looking
Speaker 5: at things like that.
Speaker 1: What about you?
Speaker 2: I had?
Speaker 5: So I had a very different experience my dad. So
Speaker 5: my dad is amazing. My dad was young when I
Speaker 5: was born. He was twenty five when he married my mom.
Speaker 5: She already had two kids. Then he had me, which
Speaker 5: so that was for me turning thirty, I was like,
Speaker 5: I've got to get on this, like having kids thing
Speaker 5: in life, thing like this. I'm way late. I'm so
Speaker 5: far behind what you're supposed to be doing. My dad musician.
Speaker 2: He's drummer.
Speaker 5: He was touring a lot when I was young, so
Speaker 5: I was home most of the time with my mom,
Speaker 5: but my dad was always super present. But you know,
Speaker 5: he comes from a military background. His dad was in
Speaker 5: was in the military, So it's very that generation and
Speaker 5: that upbringing was very much like, you know, do as
Speaker 5: you're told. I'll tell you the best way to fucking
Speaker 5: do things. Otherwise shut the fuck up, like you know,
Speaker 5: let me, let me just guide you, like I know
Speaker 5: what's best. So it was definitely a bit stifling, you
Speaker 5: know when you when I got older, and it was
Speaker 5: like I had to do things then for myself because
Speaker 5: I was like, God, I don't know how to do
Speaker 5: any of this stuff. And one of the other things
Speaker 5: that was really that that I noticed later on in
Speaker 5: life was that my parents always held my parents on
Speaker 5: such a pedestal. I aways looked up to them and
Speaker 5: what it is they did, because they never grounded my
Speaker 5: view of them, like they never apologized for things. They
Speaker 5: were never human and if they made a mistake, it
Speaker 5: was just kind of like they made it and they
Speaker 5: brushed over it.
Speaker 2: It was like on to the next day.
Speaker 5: So I always make a point now with my kids
Speaker 5: of apologizing for mistakes that I make, for things that
Speaker 5: happen because it's like, I don't I don't want you
Speaker 5: guys to think that I am any better than you are.
Speaker 5: You know, I've experienced a lot in life, so I
Speaker 5: want to help guide you through things, but I also
Speaker 5: want you to experience life in your own things as well.
Speaker 5: So it's a it's a juggling act. But I morally
Speaker 5: from my parents. My moral compass is so huge, so
Speaker 5: I owe them the world for that, and I want to.
Speaker 2: Be the opposite of my dad.
Speaker 1: Obviously it will always.
Speaker 3: I am very invested in my kids and even something
Speaker 3: as simple as last night, me and the girls went
Speaker 3: to get dinner and one of the managers at the
Speaker 3: restaurant as we were walking out, he like stops us all,
Speaker 3: and I'm like what they do and he's like, you
Speaker 3: have the most like sweetest girls.
Speaker 2: They're so respectful.
Speaker 3: They've said thank you, they've said thank you, they've said
Speaker 3: thank you. Pick out a cookie and like gave them
Speaker 3: some cookies and they were like, oh, thank.
Speaker 2: You so very much, and just that's just what restaurant
Speaker 2: is that love We were Love's last night.
Speaker 5: As soon as you said like, he came with the
Speaker 5: cookies and like literally the Calabasas It's like it's kind
Speaker 5: of like Jerry's Deli used to be, but it's a
Speaker 5: much better version of way.
Speaker 2: Their menu is massive.
Speaker 5: They have like they bake everything and so desert and
Speaker 5: all sorts of st.
Speaker 2: And we literally get the same thing every time. There's
Speaker 2: no change.
Speaker 5: Friday nights, it's clam chowdert.
Speaker 2: My French toast, literally French toast.
Speaker 1: And it's the place we go to pretty much every day.
Speaker 1: Is the Beverly Glenn Deli. Okay, yeah, Glens, And it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's our favorite little Jewish deli. And the
Speaker 1: kids actually don't go crazy anymore, so it's an actually
Speaker 1: good experience. But I get the same exact thing every
Speaker 1: single time.
Speaker 2: Crossroads. My girls love.
Speaker 3: They had no idea that it was vegan, right, and
Speaker 3: like they're just going to town. And then afterwards I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know that was vegan. They're like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 2: I took my son there for his birthday.
Speaker 5: That's when he ordered the cocktail and I was like,
Speaker 5: this is not don't check his ID, this isn't happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a frosted tip.
Speaker 1: I need from you. Guys. We are having such a
Speaker 1: hard time finding food for our kids that they will
Speaker 1: eat it. My girl's better, she'll actually eat like a
Speaker 1: chicken nugget, a fish stick. Right. I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: some kind of protein in them because.
Speaker 2: I tried to go against fried.
Speaker 1: They won't even eat fried. I mean the French fry
Speaker 1: every once in a while, but it's just sugar. I
Speaker 1: mean bread, sugar, bread, sugar. Red Shirt will not eat
Speaker 1: anything else. Is there a trick into getting them to
Speaker 1: know when?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like we try and do as many like vitamin
Speaker 5: gummies and things just to make sure that because if
Speaker 5: you go in like you know, oh no, I want
Speaker 5: the healthiest stuff for you, and I want that and
Speaker 5: then they don't eat, then then they're not getting any
Speaker 5: nutrients at all. So it's like you have to and
Speaker 5: it changes, it'll it gets better.
Speaker 2: It does. But two and a half, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're super independent, saying.
Speaker 4: Like her son who's now sick, still has never had
Speaker 4: a green vegetable, and she's all about cooking and everything you.
Speaker 1: Refuse to do.
Speaker 2: I mean it's also I mean I got lucky.
Speaker 3: Both my girls eat everything and they love like their
Speaker 3: seaweed and they love their vegetables, and I love this
Speaker 3: that and the other. They're kind of getting a little
Speaker 3: bit away from certain proteins, like you know, chicken or steak.
Speaker 3: But you know, we'll put that in here and there.
Speaker 3: At least my youngest is not living off of bac
Speaker 3: and cheese anymore. But the best advice I would give
Speaker 3: is they're also sponges. So whatever they see you eating,
Speaker 3: they one or the other might lean towards one of
Speaker 3: you to want to eat what dad's eating.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Like, so I hated vegetables until about three four years ago.
Speaker 3: I hated them, But being clean now it's sober trying
Speaker 3: to like put on size all this stuff. You gotta
Speaker 3: eat your greens so like, and I, you know, I
Speaker 3: gotta stop making a face when.
Speaker 2: I eat the broccoli and like.
Speaker 3: But by example you have kids, kids are gonna want
Speaker 3: to be like what their parents are. If they're eating
Speaker 3: something green, they're gonna go, oh, try it and then, oh,
Speaker 3: my god.
Speaker 2: The only thing my kids eat that ugh, I don't
Speaker 2: know why.
Speaker 3: Out of the can sardines out of a freaking.
Speaker 5: Can, all over caesar salad. I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 5: the sardines?
Speaker 2: Is wrong with my children?
Speaker 1: Did they even get their hands on a can of
Speaker 1: sard gema.
Speaker 2: GiMA gets it and they freaking literally eat.
Speaker 1: My grandfather, my papa. It was so disgusting. He would
Speaker 1: love a canno sardines and buttermilk. Think about that.
Speaker 3: It just sounds like restantly or even worse genera that
Speaker 3: whole like, but like literally.
Speaker 2: Open the can is like like you're eating the depression
Speaker 2: and stuff. They just ended up eating all extra warm buttermilk.
Speaker 5: And he wasn't eating sardines and buttermilk.
Speaker 3: Like I've seen all those people on like eating that.
Speaker 2: What's that? Just give me five minutes.
Speaker 3: What's that fish that makes everybody want to It's like
Speaker 3: like Sweden or there's that that like viral challenge with
Speaker 3: people eating that fish that's supposed to be like the
Speaker 3: worst smelling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and would anyone want to viraly do challenge exactly?
Speaker 3: Like I'll do certain things, sure, but I'm not going
Speaker 3: to eat something that's gonna make me projectile, vomit or die.
Speaker 1: Like what was the puffer fish that you know exactly
Speaker 1: how he's done that?
Speaker 2: How he did that? We were in freaking Japan.
Speaker 3: Obviously, it's one of five chefs in the world that
Speaker 3: are allowed to serve it. But dude, if you're off
Speaker 3: by one scale.
Speaker 1: Your dad.
Speaker 4: Like every other one.
Speaker 1: But it's the you know, it's the excitement of But if.
Speaker 2: You get the wrong piece, you are you will die.
Speaker 2: I have too many kids now to like risk it
Speaker 2: just to try some fish.
Speaker 1: How much I'm a daredevil, But now that I have kids,
Speaker 1: I'm like, No, I don't need to skydive anymore.
Speaker 4: No, I don't need to eatl I never will be.
Speaker 1: Lance that will have to talk about because if I
Speaker 1: get if I get a seat, I'm going, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It's so safe. Now what a space is so sick?
Speaker 2: Why would you?
Speaker 3: You can literally fly in a giant It looks like
Speaker 3: a giant with.
Speaker 1: Of course really yea my whole life. I want to
Speaker 1: be a national.
Speaker 2: It's a giant pedole.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's play a game when we come back
Speaker 1: from this break, because I have lots of things to
Speaker 1: play with you guys. One before we go, though, congrats
Speaker 1: on the how do you say it? The the at
Speaker 1: at at peak your mocktails that you're doing, Yes, tell
Speaker 1: us about that before we go break.
Speaker 3: So at ten, who is an amazingly talented individual from Montreal.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: He played soccer in Montreal and then actually played for the.
Speaker 2: Jets uh here in the US for a couple of years.
Speaker 3: He's also sober, like myself created this amazing mocktail brand.
Speaker 3: Uh so, I am a brand ambassador and a partner
Speaker 3: and uh it is. The mocktail thing is here to stay.
Speaker 3: Like almost every single restaurant I've been to now anywhere
Speaker 3: has it as as as an option. It's just like
Speaker 3: luten free or vegan options. And now, granted, when I
Speaker 3: got sober, you know, there's a lot of drinks surprisingly
Speaker 3: that I never tried. So I tried a lot, but
Speaker 3: so I don't know if that's what it's supposed to taste, like,
Speaker 3: like I never had a mohido, never have them, But
Speaker 3: my friends that have tried it are like, dude, this
Speaker 3: tastes like a mohedo, And like I tell people, it's
Speaker 3: it's it's kind of like you know, when you're younger
Speaker 3: and you see mom and dad having a drink after
Speaker 3: dinner whatever, and maybe they get a little bit tipsy.
Speaker 2: You want to be like that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: So like they'll pour like apple juice in your glass
Speaker 3: and you'll act a little loopy.
Speaker 2: Oh it it's.
Speaker 3: You know, it releases that dopamine that we all get
Speaker 3: from drinking or partying or dancing or whatever we're doing.
Speaker 3: But you don't get foam while you're still in that
Speaker 3: social atmosphere.
Speaker 2: You know what you're doing.
Speaker 3: You can get home safely or be the DD and
Speaker 3: make sure your friends are good. And it tastes amazing,
Speaker 3: it honestly does, and it's all it's all natural, organic
Speaker 3: and it's I mean, I'm telling you it is the
Speaker 3: new wave. It's currently only available in Canada, but eventually
Speaker 3: we are going to bring it down to the.
Speaker 1: That is the this young generation. They don't drink much
Speaker 1: at all. They don't like to go out, they like
Speaker 1: to be at home and they don't like to drink.
Speaker 1: So mocktails are the big thing.
Speaker 2: Well it's either they do that or they they don't
Speaker 2: eat before they go out. They as soon as they
Speaker 2: walk in the club, they do six shots and then
Speaker 2: before you know it, they black out and they don't
Speaker 2: know where they end up. And it's like it's just
Speaker 2: on set.
Speaker 3: Like me being an alcoholic, like I always I'm not
Speaker 3: picking on them, and I'm like, you guys have no
Speaker 3: idea how to drink, Like you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2: You know, first of all, just have a salad. Just
Speaker 2: have a salad.
Speaker 3: When you have a couple shots, guess what, have a water.
Speaker 3: Then you can kind of go peet a little bit
Speaker 3: of the alcohol, drink some more. You don't walk in
Speaker 3: and go six shots deep. And then you know, if
Speaker 3: you're a young lady you wake up in some guy's house,
Speaker 3: you have knowd how you got there. Or if you're
Speaker 3: a guy and all of a sudden you end up
Speaker 3: in a bush somewhere on Hollywood Bulevard like he's been.
Speaker 1: He's woken up in a bush before. I was in
Speaker 1: a bush.
Speaker 2: Burning bush was a hedge. It was totally different. It
Speaker 2: was wasn't blooming. It was I was drugged.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're like eighteen.
Speaker 2: I was like twenty.
Speaker 4: They were trying to drug the pretty girl I was with.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure you're welcome.
Speaker 5: I've been drunk, but I didn't wake up, so they
Speaker 5: just wanted to get you out of there.
Speaker 2: No, I think I just took her to the yeah.
Speaker 1: But then his friends leave him and all my.
Speaker 4: Friends woke up at the bust of five in the
Speaker 4: morning and outside the club in Miami, beats' missing my
Speaker 4: phone and wallet and a shoe. And luckily the bouncer
Speaker 4: knew my twin sister because he had a crush on her,
Speaker 4: and I was like, her up and then I just
Speaker 4: get this. I have a vague memory of this, her
Speaker 4: little car pulling up.
Speaker 2: I'm being put in some bad that could have ended
Speaker 2: really really bad.
Speaker 5: You could have you could have signed from that haunted house,
Speaker 5: and you could have been missing tea.
Speaker 2: And also of things.
Speaker 4: To attack me or not leave me.
Speaker 3: But it is interesting though that you say that, because
Speaker 3: like I don't know the brands, but I know that
Speaker 3: there was a few liquor brands, for example, that pulled
Speaker 3: out of Coachella this year because they don't want to
Speaker 3: be associated with some of the aftermath that happens, even
Speaker 3: though it's personal choice. But so there was like a
Speaker 3: company called New Bar, a bunch of mocktail options at
Speaker 3: Coachella at Stage Coach, and they couldn't keep these mocktails
Speaker 3: on the shelf like they were just going And that's incredible.
Speaker 1: Well, a lot of times they're on drugs.
Speaker 2: Well there's also that a mic. Well they're all they're
Speaker 2: all doing shrooms. Shrooms is all the rage. Now it's
Speaker 2: a little microding thing. It's the whole mushroom thing.
Speaker 3: Like obviously, you know, people are comparing it to like weed,
Speaker 3: where it's like, Okay, you can't die from it.
Speaker 2: You'll do dumb things, you'll make poor.
Speaker 3: Decisions, or you'll have an out of body experience, and
Speaker 3: then it's over, you know, and you don't do it
Speaker 3: every single day, although there are the is that smoke
Speaker 3: weed daily all the time.
Speaker 2: But see there you go. I used to not so
Speaker 2: much in it.
Speaker 3: But then there's obviously the Kenne means and all these
Speaker 3: things that are like that's a little bit more severe.
Speaker 1: I just don't. I can't do anything that I can't
Speaker 1: be in control of, Like I just I would not
Speaker 1: be good.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: And also people are now terrified, thank god, they're terrified
Speaker 3: of who of what's out there now because of because
Speaker 3: of fetanol, you know. I mean I've literally lost eleven
Speaker 3: friends because of it. And it's like so they're switching
Speaker 3: to stuff that hopefully doesn't have it in it. But again,
Speaker 3: you just never.
Speaker 2: Know, you know what I mean. It's just not just
Speaker 2: just don't do any of it. Go. There's there's more
Speaker 2: ways to have fun.
