Core Memories

0:00Speaker 1:Hello gorgeous, it's Lala Kent. Welcome to Untraditionally Lala. Hello gorgeous, welcome to the bonus episode of Untraditionally Lala. I'm still here with my squad.

0:11Speaker 2:Hello mom.

0:13Speaker 3:Hello.

0:13Speaker 1:Hi.

0:13Speaker 2:Hi Easton. How are your seeds?

0:16Speaker 3:Phenomenal.

0:17Speaker 2:I'm obsessed with you lately.

0:21Speaker 3:Jesus.

0:22Speaker 2:Jesus take the wheel. You're so.

0:25Speaker 1:unintentionally hilarious. And I'm just happy to see you back.

0:29Speaker 3:Well, thanks.

0:29Speaker 1:One thing I would like to see you do is lift some weights.

0:32Speaker 2:Mom's face. You thought she said you were unintelligent, did you? No. Did you? No. I would never say that about my mom. Your face, you looked at her like, and then you went, oh, thank you. Unintentionally funny.

0:46Speaker 1:So I wanted to do a throwback episode of childhood memories that stuck with our friends, a.k.a.

0:53Speaker 2:Our listeners, because.

0:55Speaker 1:Mom brought up a really, really, well, I don't remember how this came up. Oh, I know exactly. We were talking about... COVID and how everybody became obsessed with Tiger King. And then the same producer, I believe, made one about the chimps. And now they've come up with another one about reptiles.

1:19Speaker 3:Oh, I want to watch that.

1:20Speaker 1:And we started talking about snakes and stuff. And I remembered this moment. That's a core memory. I don't know if you remember Easton, but my dad used to build homes and In Park City. And he brought me and Easton home a garden snake from one of the job sites for us to keep. And he would take us to PetSmart to get goldfish for the snake to eat. And I loved this snake. I would take it outside and like play with it. And I remember he had just eaten and it was like very, very thin. And then you could see where the goldfish was. I don't know if you're supposed to feed... Garden snakes, goldfish.

1:52Speaker 3:I don't know that either.

1:54Speaker 1:I think that's probably not what they're supposed to be eating, but this happened. And I remember it threw the goldfish up on my hand and it was like just this dead fish. It was traumatizing. But then you brought up a really sweet thing that you did.

2:09Speaker 3:Well, we had bought an aquarium to keep him in.

2:12Speaker 2:Is that what it's called? An aquarium?

2:14Speaker 3:Well, I don't know. For a snake?

2:16Speaker 2:For a snake.

2:18Speaker 3:Yeah, it looked like an aquarium.

2:20Speaker 2:Yeah, like a big glass tank.

2:21Speaker 4:And we'd put wood chips and stuff. And we'd put things for him to climb on.

2:28Speaker 2:Slither on?

2:29Speaker 3:Slither on, yeah. But I felt so badly.

2:32Speaker 4:I thought, this is so unfair to this snake to be housed in this little container.

2:37Speaker 3:So I let him go in the yard.

2:40Speaker 1:Aww.

2:40Speaker 4:And he slithered away. And we had that stream running through our property. And I'm sure he was in the hog heaven.

2:47Speaker 2:He probably got in there and down the stream he went, maybe.

2:52Speaker 1:I love that. Yeah. You've always been against animals in captivity and I appreciate that.

2:58Speaker 3:Well, I appreciate that you feel the same way.

3:00Speaker 2:Yeah.

3:01Speaker 1:Even Ocean. Ocean's all about that life.

3:03Speaker 2:Yeah. Ocean is all about that life.

3:06Speaker 3:Very important to teach your kids.

3:08Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree, at a very young age. But when you brought that up, I was like, oh my gosh, I completely forgot about that moment that mom said, like, the snake is no longer.

3:17Speaker 2:We're releasing the snake.

3:18Speaker 3:Yeah, poor little thing.

3:20Speaker 2:No, you released him.

3:21Speaker 4:I know, but poor little thing that he was.

3:23Speaker 1:Being stuck in that thing, in that glass area. But I will say, I took him out quite a bit.

3:29Speaker 3:Well, I'm glad you did.

3:30Speaker 1:I waltzed him over to Morgan's house on the corner.

3:33Speaker 3:That's so cute.

3:35Speaker 2:They seem like snake people.

3:37Speaker 3:They did?

3:38Speaker 1:How do you know a snake person?

3:40Speaker 2:You just know.

3:41Speaker 1:You just fucking know.

3:43Speaker 2:I like snakes.

3:45Speaker 3:I like snakes too.

3:47Speaker 2:Do you need to light another cigarette?

3:48Speaker 4:Hold on.

3:51Speaker 2:Another pack of Marlboro for you?

3:54Speaker 1:Easton, what's a childhood memory that's... You, I'm telling you, it makes me so happy when you go, yes, it is a core memory for me.

4:01Speaker 2:Which one? All of them.

4:04Speaker 1:Every time you bring something up from childhood, I'm like, you remember that?

4:07Speaker 2:Yes, it is a core memory for me.

4:09Speaker 3:Can I tell you what I remember about him?

4:11Speaker 2:What the fuck is happening? Mike Wazowski. Get that booger out of your throat. Let's get working. Fuck. Mike Wazowski.

4:28Speaker 3:Can I talk now?

4:29Speaker 2:We don't know. Can you?

4:31Speaker 4:Can I tell you what other core memory I remember as an adult? Yeah. Is buying Easton those $ 50 collectible cars and him busting the wheels off all of them.

4:43Speaker 2:I wanted to be a mechanic.

4:43Speaker 1:I was seeing the achievement teeth in the back. Ripping the wheels off?

4:47Speaker 2:Yes.

4:48Speaker 3:And then he'd play with them in the dirt in the back.

4:50Speaker 4:Remember?

4:52Speaker 1:I totally remember.

4:53Speaker 5:That is a core memory with little Zach and little Alec.

4:55Speaker 1:Yeah, do you remember you and me outside of the St. George condo where that rose bush was? We would dig and make little ramps of dirt for our cars.

5:05Speaker 2:And I had a little motorcycle. I loved building dirt roads.

5:08Speaker 3:But why did you not let him have any wheels on?

5:12Speaker 5:I also wanted to be in construction and I also wanted to be a mechanic.

5:17Speaker 2:Wow. Take the wheels off. That's some manly shit right there. Could not move back on, but I wanted to try. I think that was just, I don't know.

5:24Speaker 3:Every car we got you.

5:25Speaker 2:The wheels ripped right off.

5:27Speaker 1:Yep.

5:28Speaker 2:I remember that, too.

5:29Speaker 1:Oh, and remember you would buy him the little, like, figurines?

5:32Speaker 2:I'm still very into wheels right now, too. And they would be, like, attached to the grass.

5:36Speaker 5:Yep.

5:37Speaker 2:They were supposed to be, like, laid out as a display.

5:40Speaker 1:Yeah. And he would rip them out, and they would have those. Things sticking out.

5:44Speaker 2:Of their feet. Yeah, I'd play with them. The football guys.

5:47Speaker 3:I still have those in storage, by the way.

5:48Speaker 1:I know.

5:49Speaker 4:Gave everything else away, but kept those.

5:53Speaker 1:Is my dad, no, my dad moving the stone and steel coffee table that.

6:02Speaker 2:Mom had in the front room. Oh, yeah. You, him putting masking tape on the floor. No, I would do that.

6:09Speaker 1:To resemble of whatever. Dad would make it so that he could do that.

6:12Speaker 2:No, he got the room ready. And Easton would be watching a football game. Monday night, Sunday night. And he would watch. And he was such a tiny little tot, you guys. He was so cute.

6:22Speaker 1:And he would have his helmet on with his shoulder pads and his football pants and jersey.

6:28Speaker 2:And he would watch the play.

6:29Speaker 1:And then he would reenact the play. And then he'd come up to me and....

6:35Speaker 2:See my backpack?

6:36Speaker 1:We see my backpack. He'd do it all the time.

6:38Speaker 2:He loved his backpack.

6:40Speaker 3:And he loved going in the yard to scuff up his jersey.

6:43Speaker 1:Yeah, he wanted grass stains on his jersey. So you just look outside and he would just be plowing himself into the fucking grass so hard.

6:50Speaker 2:Where were my friends? You had hella friends. No, trust me, I know. You had so many friends. No, I loved my backpack.

6:56Speaker 5:Another core memory as well is like the down where the stairs went to the basement.

7:00Speaker 2:Sleeping backpack.

7:01Speaker 5:Well, that, but I'd have my basketball hoop. And it was always around Christmas time with a fucking million Santas. And so I'd always make sure that if it was bouncing this way, I'd always hit it away from the Santas.

7:13Speaker 1:Oh, I remember that.

7:14Speaker 2:The door that went downstairs. So I'd hang the thing there.

7:17Speaker 5:And then the Santas were there with the French doors that went into the other room. So I would shoot that way so I wouldn't break the Santas. But I did break one, and that was my core memory. Mom didn't get that mad either. It was one you did not care for.

7:29Speaker 1:Yeah.

7:30Speaker 2:I had so many.

7:31Speaker 5:I like fell off and I was like freaking out. And I just went up to mom and I was like, I hit this up. She looked at it and she goes away. I think, no, I think we have all of those as well. Just all in a bin.

7:45Speaker 1:I would love for you to bring them out here so that we could decorate my house.

7:48Speaker 2:Guess what would be way cute in the winter time.

7:50Speaker 5:You guys might not like it, but like where dad is, we can move those and all the Santas.

7:55Speaker 1:Oh, that's really cute.

7:56Speaker 2:Totally. I love that idea.

7:58Speaker 1:I want it to look like the holidays.

7:59Speaker 2:Threw up at the house. Same. I want to watch. Get to work, Mom.

8:02Speaker 3:Okay. I want to tell you one other story and I'm done.

8:05Speaker 2:Okay.

8:06Speaker 4:Then I remember Easton as a biter and that you would hold his forehead back and he would chomp.

8:12Speaker 1:Like a piranha and his eyes would be like this.

8:15Speaker 2:Yeah. It was terrifying. What did you do to me that made me want to bite?

8:21Speaker 3:Guess how we got you to stop biting.

8:25Speaker 2:Bob bit me.

8:25Speaker 4:You bit Lauren, and my dad was babysitting, and he bit you.

8:30Speaker 2:Oh, my God.

8:31Speaker 1:I remember that.

8:32Speaker 2:We were in the basement. I didn't bite again, though, did I?

8:34Speaker 1:No, you bit me.

8:35Speaker 2:No, I never bit after that. No. But you bit me.

8:39Speaker 1:I ran upstairs to tell Bob. Bob's the one who lit himself on fire. Yeah.

8:44Speaker 2:Well, on accident, obviously. He was a guy.

8:46Speaker 1:But I remember him going downstairs, hearing you very unhappy, and him carrying you.

8:52Speaker 2:Up the stairs and.

8:54Speaker 1:looking you were definitely sad but bob was also he was distraught yeah.

8:59Speaker 3:But i told him that's what he had to do if if you bit gotta bite him back.

9:03Speaker 1:I just can't picture if if my kids bit being like mom while i'm away.

9:07Speaker 4:If she bites sink that teeth in i just can't imagine he never bit again it was he constantly lauren.

9:16Speaker 6:I know i had good teeth for it as a vampire You know, can I tell you, though, or not Ocean, Sosa, we watched her the other day, Niecy laying beautifully.

9:28Speaker 1:On the ground. Easton and I both watched Sosa roll up on her, look at her, take her fist, and bam, smacked her right on the head.

9:37Speaker 2:Oh, that TV got paused. I took her little hand. I gave it a flick.

9:41Speaker 1:She was beside herself.

9:44Speaker 2:She hasn't hit her again.

9:45Speaker 1:She did not hit her again, though.

9:46Speaker 2:And it's good we have good dogs. Yeah. I mean, she, like... No, she wailed my dog. She punched my dog.

9:54Speaker 3:Poor Bernice.

9:55Speaker 2:She punched her. Yeah.

9:57Speaker 5:And not only that, her poor head was like on the. tile already. So like her fist hit her and then her head went into the tile again.

10:05Speaker 2:And she didn't even move. Didn't even move.

10:06Speaker 1:And Sosa went over to the couch. And when I told her, you need to apologize, she walks up and she goes, I'm sorry.

10:13Speaker 4:So cute.

10:16Speaker 1:I was like, you don't hit animals.

10:18Speaker 2:No.

10:18Speaker 1:Hitters get hit, biters get bit.

10:20Speaker 2:Yep.

10:21Speaker 1:That's how we roll at our house.

10:22Speaker 4:Preach!

10:23Speaker 2:Preach.

10:24Speaker 1:All right. Childhood memories from our friends. The camping trips we would take yearly with our family.

10:31Speaker 4:Aww.

10:31Speaker 5:The one that Dior almost got eaten alive on.

10:34Speaker 1:That was like a glamping trip. We were in like a pretty nice trailer.

10:37Speaker 2:I just remember I was happy. I was happy too.

10:41Speaker 4:Do you remember when we went camping and we actually pitched a tent and we saw moose?

10:47Speaker 3:I do remember that.

10:49Speaker 1:Oh, we did fun things. This sounds like an annual thing for their family.

10:54Speaker 2:So that means they had it mastered.

10:57Speaker 6:Yep.

10:57Speaker 2:They were glamping too.

10:58Speaker 3:But you know what? Our camping was like pal to me.

11:02Speaker 2:Oh, the greatest.

11:03Speaker 3:Yeah.

11:03Speaker 2:So bougie. That's our camping? Oh my gosh. You guys didn't camp much.

11:09Speaker 5:My camping is going into the Uintas and trying to find something decent.

11:13Speaker 2:I went camping with my buddies. Don't you remember? You did. You went camping. I was about that life.

11:18Speaker 4:Tents.

11:18Speaker 2:I think it's great.

11:19Speaker 1:I would like to take ocean camping.

11:21Speaker 4:I love it. An overnight camping trip. I can't do multiple days.

11:27Speaker 5:No, there was nothing worse than waking up.

11:30Speaker 2:If you went two days, you got there Friday and left Sunday.

11:33Speaker 5:There was nothing worse than Saturday waking up and looking around and it being like 7.30 and you're going, wow, how the fuck are we doing today?

11:41Speaker 1:What are we supposed to do I think it sounds fun to roll in in the morning. You've got all day having fun. The next day you can have breakfast, whatever. You start packing up around like lunchtime. Hit a really cute restaurant on the way out. Because we did do camping correct.

11:58Speaker 5:We had like the side-by-side, the ATVs because we go with Jake. And it was even worse because Saturdays were just us driving around and then.

12:06Speaker 2:Just sleeping dirty as hell.

12:08Speaker 1:Yeah.

12:09Speaker 2:I hated it. I'm a clean kind of guy. I like a shower.

12:13Speaker 5:A shower.

12:13Speaker 1:Running water is my jam.

12:14Speaker 2:An RV.

12:15Speaker 3:And I like a toilet, sorry.

12:17Speaker 5:Yeah, I'm not a shitter in a hole kind of guy. Like when they were like, yeah, just lean against a tree. I was like, I think I'm just going to.

12:23Speaker 2:Lean against a tree?

12:24Speaker 5:I was like, you must not know me, but at all, I will hold this till we are home.

12:29Speaker 1:Wait, that's disgusting.

12:31Speaker 2:Yeah, you're telling me.

12:44Speaker 1:Lion King. My parents played it so much. I had a Simba stuffed animal and never left it anywhere. I too had that Simba stuffed animal.

12:52Speaker 2:Do you remember?

12:53Speaker 3:Yes.

12:54Speaker 2:And it had the little thing on the forehead. Simba.

12:56Speaker 3:That's cute.

12:58Speaker 2:What was his name? Rafiki. Rafiki puts the little on his forehead. The paint.

13:04Speaker 1:What was Easton obsessed with again?

13:06Speaker 2:Dumbo.

13:07Speaker 3:Oh yeah. James and the Giant Peach.

13:09Speaker 2:I love James.

13:11Speaker 1:That's a good one to show Ocean. I was looking on Instagram and it was talking about all of these movies that came out when we were kids that we're now showing our kids. And I saved it so that I could show Ocean because we've already done Life Size.

13:25Speaker 3:Beethoven you want to do.

13:26Speaker 2:Beethoven I want to do.

13:27Speaker 3:101 Dalmatians.

13:28Speaker 2:Now I want to do James and the Giant Peach. She's kind of, for some reason, out of that phase. Like she's into Betso Raven. A.K.A. That's So Raven.

13:39Speaker 1:Oh.

13:40Speaker 2:Yep. Maybe a little Zack and Cody. Zack and Cody for sure.

13:44Speaker 4:Yeah.

13:45Speaker 1:Old School Dunkin' Donuts runs with my dad.

13:48Speaker 3:Aw. Oh, that's fun.

13:51Speaker 2:That is fun.

13:52Speaker 3:I love donuts.

13:53Speaker 2:There's one.

13:54Speaker 4:Yeah.

13:54Speaker 3:Let's go get one today. A cronut.

13:57Speaker 5:Guys, there's a Disney commercial that I really love. And that reminded me of it.

14:02Speaker 4:What?

14:02Speaker 5:There's a Disney cruise and it's him. It's like his dad and him as a kid. And they go on a Disney cruise every year and they always go on this walk. Well, then the son grows up and then has his own child. And then they do it with the grandpa, the baby, and then the son.

14:16Speaker 2:Okay, that's spiral.

14:19Speaker 5:That's what that and that reminded me of going with dad every like Saturday morning.

14:23Speaker 1:To 7-Eleven to get the frozen coffees.

14:26Speaker 2:And donuts. Dad, it's the cutest little commercial.

14:33Speaker 3:We got to go on a Disney cruise.

14:35Speaker 2:I hate cruises. I saw that and I was like, get me on a damn cruise. Get me on a cruise. I don't care what I can catch. Put me on the bus.

14:44Speaker 3:Let's do that.

14:45Speaker 2:I love that commercial right there.

14:46Speaker 1:I want to do a Disney cruise and I want to do Alaska. Yeah.

14:49Speaker 2:Yeah. I'll get on a cruise. I'll take some Dramamine.

14:54Speaker 1:You know what runs I remember with dad is him taking us to car dealerships on Sundays so that.

14:59Speaker 2:They wouldn't bug you. I meant Sunday because that's where we'd go.

15:03Speaker 5:7-Eleven, I'd grab my maple bar and my little hot chocolate.

15:06Speaker 2:He would grab his and then we'd go to the car dealerships. Yeah. And I'd eat it while we walked around.

15:11Speaker 3:He loved doing that.

15:13Speaker 1:You couldn't do that in LA.

15:14Speaker 2:They're open on Sundays.

15:15Speaker 1:They're ready to get you any day of the week.

15:18Speaker 5:I went and looked at Mercedes like a week ago just for fun. I was just passing by. So I stopped and I was like, I got bothered by like nine people. And I started saying, I have no money. I was like, I have no money. I have no money.

15:30Speaker 2:I'm just here to look.

15:31Speaker 3:So you're telling the truth.

15:33Speaker 2:Yeah. That too. No money.

15:35Speaker 4:No money.

15:37Speaker 2:I'm teasing you. Not in the market yet. I'm teasing. I could get a little something. Maybe I will.

15:44Speaker 1:I think you should.

15:45Speaker 4:Due time.

15:45Speaker 2:Due time. Moving on.

15:46Speaker 1:I think that you should be in.

15:48Speaker 2:A car that you feel cute in.

15:49Speaker 1:Celebrating my mom and the pod that raised me on Father's Day each year. Oh.

15:55Speaker 2:That's what we do. That's so relatable.

15:57Speaker 1:I know. We celebrate you on Father's Day and our actual dad. Yeah.

16:03Speaker 2:We celebrate you too because you've known that. Yeah. Just a day of celebrating.

16:09Speaker 1:But I think that's really cute that she said in the pod that raised me. I like that.

16:13Speaker 2:That's really stinking cute.

16:15Speaker 1:I would love to know what they go and do if it's like the same, if they have like a tradition that they do every year.

16:20Speaker 3:You should ask her.

16:21Speaker 2:I'll have to find her DM.

16:24Speaker 1:We used to do Malibu. Remember with like Brittany?

16:28Speaker 4:Mm-hmm.

16:28Speaker 3:That was fun.

16:29Speaker 2:Back in the day. That restaurant's gone.

16:31Speaker 3:Where'd it go?

16:35Speaker 1:My mom would make trails of our favorite candy from our bed to gifts for holidays.

16:40Speaker 2:That's cute. That is adorable.

16:43Speaker 1:And I think I should do that.

16:45Speaker 2:Yeah, like just get like the mini packets of Skittles.

16:47Speaker 5:So like you just like throw the little pack, like, you know, like the Halloween size candies.

16:52Speaker 1:And you know, my child's driven by sweets. So she would be very into that.

16:55Speaker 2:You could do it to her dinner.

16:58Speaker 1:Now you gotta eat if you eat your broccoli she's so anti-vegetable piece of candy very annoying she's like mom I ate I had cake I'm like that is not a food group okay or.

17:12Speaker 4:She'll say I ate already and it'll be dinner time and she'll have had breakfast and lunch but she's gotta get.

17:18Speaker 1:The concept yeah four hours ago three meals a day for you You know, three meals a day for you, one meal a day for us.

17:25Speaker 4:Yeah.

17:26Speaker 1:Well, why do you get to do this? And then I get to use your line. Because I'm the adult and you're the child. And now it's like I love using that. When you used to say it, I wanted to scream, fuck you. But now I get to be on the powerful end.

17:43Speaker 3:And you liked my sweet voice too.

17:45Speaker 1:I do it to Ocean all the time. I go, you want to know what's such a bummer? Is if you would have been nice, we could be doing face masks and eating popcorn. And now you don't get to. And you get to go to sleep in your own bed. It's going to be so fun. But you could have been having more fun.

18:00Speaker 2:Exactly. Because you chose to be a little asshole. I don't say that.

18:05Speaker 3:Do you know what I love doing? Is when her room's a mess and she doesn't want to clean it up. I go, oh, that's great. I said, you know what?

18:11Speaker 4:Don't even worry about it. I'll just get a garbage bag and I'll just throw it all away.

18:15Speaker 3:And then she freaked. and starts picking up. Yeah.

18:18Speaker 2:I go, no, don't worry about it.

18:19Speaker 3:I'll just throw it away.

18:21Speaker 1:Can I tell you what she said to me the other night?

18:22Speaker 5:Okay.

18:24Speaker 1:She's, she's talked to me over and over again about the same thing. I forgot what it was. And she's like, needs to go to the bathroom before she gets in the bath and she's on the toilet. And I say to her, Ocean, you have to stop verbally waterboarding me.

18:38Speaker 2:And she goes, mom, I know.

18:40Speaker 1:And tomorrow I know it's Sosa's birthday and I will not verbally waterboard you.

18:45Speaker 3:At least she knows.

18:47Speaker 2:Like, let's start it now.

18:48Speaker 1:Start it now.

18:49Speaker 3:Did she waterboard you?

18:50Speaker 2:Yes, she knows no other way. She's going to go places in life, let me tell you.

18:53Speaker 3:She doesn't know how to shut the fuck up.

18:56Speaker 5:She just keeps, she'll ask you until the answer she wants is what she gets.

19:01Speaker 1:She always gets what she wants because I just can't take it anymore.

19:04Speaker 2:No, we let her open another gift today.

19:06Speaker 1:Because you just don't want to deal.

19:08Speaker 2:Because I couldn't deal.

19:10Speaker 1:Yeah. Very few memories of my dad, and then she has in parentheses, alcoholic. But he made the most extravagant snow forts.

19:19Speaker 2:That sounds lit. And you know what?

19:21Speaker 1:I love that we did this because it's little moments like that where someone gets to remember something that was good, even if they didn't have many memories with their dad.

19:29Speaker 2:Right. They remember the snow forts.

19:30Speaker 3:Snow forts.

19:31Speaker 1:And that is not easy to hold.

19:33Speaker 5:I can just picture him just hammered out there, just building that snow fort.

19:37Speaker 2:Just hammered out there. Just fucking going at that snow fort.

19:41Speaker 1:Oh, that's so cute. My friend and I sleeping in sleeping bags on my front porch all summer long.

19:47Speaker 2:Let's do the back porch. i wish you could do that anymore different time we used to do that with the neighbor.

19:54Speaker 3:I know we set a tent up in the front yard.

19:57Speaker 5:Well let's be honest here even if we did it in the back it's not like we had a gate no walk right in i know it was the kids Different times.

20:05Speaker 3:Scary time.

20:06Speaker 1:I know, but let's just go with.

20:08Speaker 2:What's their name? Morgan and Daniel.

20:10Speaker 1:Yeah, we had a hell of a time.

20:12Speaker 2:How fun.

20:12Speaker 1:Wow.

20:13Speaker 2:And Tally. And Tally and Steven.

20:16Speaker 3:Yeah.

20:18Speaker 2:Wow, what a little cul-de-sac we had.

20:21Speaker 1:Blockbuster movie night. The best Hollywood video for me. On 33rd.

20:26Speaker 2:Guys.

20:27Speaker 1:Or not 33rd.

20:28Speaker 2:Can I change my childhood memory?

20:31Speaker 5:Yeah.

20:32Speaker 1:That.

20:33Speaker 2:Going with dad. Dad. to hollywood video yeah we'd go like.

20:36Speaker 5:Every friday you know what and i would rent a video game that i'd play all weekend and then he would grab like a couple movies but it was like sometimes a friend would come and then we'd be like oh we need a two-player game but dad would walk around with us and then he'd like he'd come up and he'd be like here i got some snacks for you and it would just be like a couple snacks for us and then we'd go check out and drive home.

20:56Speaker 4:And you know what my core memory was Paying all the late fees on all of the things.

21:02Speaker 2:Oh, the 85 cent late fees.

21:04Speaker 3:No, they got into the dollars.

21:08Speaker 4:Oh.

21:08Speaker 2:Well, so I didn't have a car to take them back. I needed a mother to tell me. I love how she's blaming you.

21:14Speaker 5:My fucking son, my eight-year-old son didn't get this damn thing back on time.

21:19Speaker 2:Well, it was miles away and I'm sorry. I couldn't drive.

21:24Speaker 5:That's where your mother goes, Easton, it's Friday. This goes back Monday. And then on Monday, that's where you go up to your son. I didn't know you.

21:31Speaker 3:Had gone with your dad to rent them.

21:34Speaker 2:Sounds like a you and dad issue.

21:35Speaker 5:Sounds like a you and dad problem, not an eight-year-old problem that he can't get the fucking game back.

21:40Speaker 2:Yeah, let me go out. Could you picture me walking two miles in the dark? I have to get my Hollywood video back. No, you're taking the damn lengthy.

21:52Speaker 1:Swinging in the backyard with my brothers on baseball.

21:57Speaker 2:Or on an actual swing.

21:58Speaker 1:Oh.

22:02Speaker 3:I went with the swing.

22:03Speaker 2:Oh, baseball.

22:05Speaker 5:I'm thinking they had like a swing set and they would all swing together because I think she would have said baseball in the backyard with my brothers.

22:13Speaker 1:Maybe she did both. My dad walking me down our driveway to the bus every morning.

22:22Speaker 2:What bus is picking you up at the end of your driveway? Where do you live? I'm getting in a car to take to the bus stop. How do I get that treatment? How do I get that treatment?

22:42Speaker 1:Playing board games with my grandpa and dad oh another one rummy cube oh yeah and dad making fun of you.

22:48Speaker 2:Yeah the bolt so good dad.

22:55Speaker 5:Hated you when we played that because you're such a little cunt when you win oh.

22:59Speaker 1:My god dropping the c word a lot on this podcast.

23:02Speaker 3:And your dad never used that word Ever.

23:04Speaker 4:Ever.

23:05Speaker 2:I know.

23:05Speaker 5:And there's some things that I don't want to be exactly like my dad.

23:09Speaker 4:All right.

23:09Speaker 1:My mom coming to every single sports.

23:12Speaker 2:Event I had. Oh, I wish I had that memory. You didn't. Get up. Go.

23:17Speaker 3:Remember, I'd scream.

23:19Speaker 5:No.

23:19Speaker 2:And grandma be with the cowbell every time.

23:21Speaker 6:Here's the thing.

23:22Speaker 2:My mom was always. Here's the thing.

23:24Speaker 5:We had to be there an hour early. Then the game would start. So, like, I didn't get to, like, see my mom before the game. But I would be in the game and I.

23:32Speaker 2:Would just hear her go.

23:35Speaker 5:And I would go, my fucking mom is here now. I hated it so much. Oh, but now looking back, I love it.

23:42Speaker 2:Oh, I like your mom. Everyone is just in all you hear is your mom going. Yeah. You're like, all right, quiet down, bitch. Make me look bad.

23:51Speaker 1:And dad was at every single thing to dad. Drop me off at eight, eight, like, cause we had games at nine. So we'd get dropped off at eight. Dad would drop me off, go find his parking spot. And then he'd walk with his coffee and then he'd hang out with like a couple other dads and watch us.

24:07Speaker 2:That's another core memory.

24:09Speaker 1:My dad would send my sister and I flowers at school on Valentine's Day.

24:13Speaker 3:That's cute.

24:13Speaker 2:I'm taking that. I'm doing that for your kids and then mine.

24:17Speaker 1:That's really sweet. The frilly underwear with the days of the week on them.

24:23Speaker 2:Ocean needs those.

24:24Speaker 1:No, Ocean has one pair and it says Tuesday. And when I put them on her and it's like Friday, I feel guilty.

24:30Speaker 4:Really?

24:31Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm like, this looks like, when I put you in these, it makes me feel like I don't care. Because it's not Tuesday. Then throw them away. Friday. Friday.

24:38Speaker 2:She likes them.

24:39Speaker 5:But what's cooler is like wearing a Thursday on like a Saturday.

24:42Speaker 2:That's true.

24:44Speaker 1:My dad giving me everything I ever wanted. He passed away in May and I will always remember. Oh, that's such a dad thing to do.

24:52Speaker 4:Your mom won't.

24:54Speaker 2:There's another video of a guy.

24:56Speaker 1:That's like what my dad would do.

24:57Speaker 2:And he's crying in the car because his daughter wanted a stuffy.

25:00Speaker 4:Yeah.

25:01Speaker 2:He was like, you have too many of them. And then he was driving.

25:05Speaker 3:You showed me this, I sobbed.

25:06Speaker 2:Yeah. Keep going, tell us more.

25:07Speaker 5:And he just was like in the car and he starts crying and he goes, you know, and time's passing and he goes, and there's going to be a day where she doesn't ask me for a stuffy. And he goes, so what did I do? And he like puts it up and he goes, I went and got her another stuffy.

25:20Speaker 3:Oh, that's sweet.

25:21Speaker 5:I know, because he knows there's going to be a day where that's not, like even, I wish I bought Ocean more labubus.

25:27Speaker 2:She doesn't care about him anymore.

25:28Speaker 5:Because she doesn't ask for him anymore. And it's like, you're in the good old days and you don't even know it. Like, think, when she wanted to go into those little pop marts, she'd grab it and I'd be like, you don't need anymore.

25:37Speaker 2:And it's like, wow. She's into wontons now. Fucking dumplings.

25:41Speaker 3:Oh, dumplings.

25:41Speaker 2:But guess what?

25:42Speaker 1:She's into wontons.

25:46Speaker 3:Well, I didn't know what they were called.

25:48Speaker 2:Oh, my God. But guess what? There's going to be a day where she doesn't want them. This, yeah, they're, well, yeah. And I know you're thinking, and I.

25:58Speaker 5:Can't wait for it, but we were also saying that about the La Boo Boo, and now I wish it was back.

26:02Speaker 1:I like this one, the giant parachute game in gym class. Do you remember that?

26:07Speaker 5:The best.

26:07Speaker 1:I also remember playing dodgeball and one too many people getting smacked in the head, so then we had to play dodgeball with rolled up socks.

26:13Speaker 2:No way.

26:14Speaker 4:Yeah.

26:14Speaker 2:Dodgeball, you can't even play it in school. It's illegal.

26:17Speaker 4:No, they had dodgeball at the school we went to on Saturday for their event.

26:22Speaker 2:That's because it's not school. That's extracurricular.

26:25Speaker 1:Is dodgeball there?

26:26Speaker 3:In the gymnasium.

26:27Speaker 4:Yeah.

26:28Speaker 2:And I could be wrong, but look it up. I'm pretty sure that dodgeball is no longer available. But it's probably the.

26:34Speaker 3:Waist down that you can hit.

26:35Speaker 1:Yeah, but those kids.

26:36Speaker 2:Have no control over. Sometimes they just get away from you, man.

26:38Speaker 3:I don't know.

26:41Speaker 1:I want to read three more and we'll make it quick. Joy rides in my mom's Jeep with the top off listening to Fleetwood Mac.

26:47Speaker 2:I love this because you love Fleetwood Mac. But also do you remember Brandon's Jeep?

26:52Speaker 5:Yes.

26:52Speaker 1:That we would drive around with the top off and no doors.

26:55Speaker 5:Can I tell you one thing about Dodgeball? Dodgeball is not universally banned. But its permission depends entirely on local school district police and state rules.

27:09Speaker 2:We had to bring the police department in for dodgeball, guys. So there's that.

27:14Speaker 1:It's a brutal game. It's violent. Have you guys seen the movie Dodgeball? My mom cooking cinnamon rolls every Saturday.

27:22Speaker 2:Yum. Replaced that with dad.

27:24Speaker 1:Do you remember the orange cinnamon rolls he would make from Pillsbury?

27:27Speaker 5:When I'd wake up and I could smell them and they were in that little... Silver, like, or the glass cake thing.

27:34Speaker 2:Yeah, with the top. Yeah, I take it off. Nice and steamy so that the frosting stayed frosty. Oh, dad, you delightful bastard. And then mom rolling out of bed. Sleepies in her eyes. Because she was vacuuming in my room at 3 a.m.? Yeah, for real.

27:49Speaker 1:Shit. This person said nothing. Hashtag traumatized.

27:55Speaker 5:I'm sorry.

27:56Speaker 3:Just no core memories?

27:59Speaker 1:She said she's traumatized. Anyway.

28:02Speaker 3:Oh, that's sad.

28:03Speaker 2:You guys, thank you for listening. We can't end on that.

28:06Speaker 4:Well, she can create or he can create memories with his kids or pets now.

28:13Speaker 2:Way to make it even more depressing.

28:15Speaker 1:You want me to end with this one? Riding my bike around town from sunup to sundown. No phone, just vibes.

28:20Speaker 2:Oh, that is a good one.

28:22Speaker 4:Can I tell you my core memory of doing that?

28:24Speaker 3:I had my dog. Billy John was his name in Georgia.

28:29Speaker 2:The dog's name was Billy John? Yeah, and then my.

28:32Speaker 4:Well, it was BJ, but I know you guys would go.

28:36Speaker 2:I don't like this dog at all. What kind of dog was BJ?

28:42Speaker 3:It was a mutt.

28:42Speaker 4:Small, big?

28:44Speaker 3:Medium. It was black and white. It was so cute.

28:47Speaker 4:And he'd just run alongside my bike all over the neighborhood with John Bush and his dog, Colonel.

28:56Speaker 2:And that's what we do every day of the summer. I can't believe you had Colonel. You had BJ and JB. Rat and dirty. That's so cute. I love this for you. Did John Bush ever tag BJ?

29:09Speaker 4:Georgia. And we'd get like jars and go get tadpoles in the forest.

29:14Speaker 1:Oh, so you haven't always been against captivity.

29:17Speaker 2:We'd let them go. Oh, catch and release type of bitch. I love that.

29:21Speaker 3:Yeah, just so we could see them.

29:23Speaker 1:Aw. Mom, I love this for you.

29:26Speaker 2:That is so fun.

29:28Speaker 3:And I had a horse, too, back then.

29:30Speaker 2:Oh, what was the horse's name?

29:31Speaker 4:Socks.

29:33Speaker 2:Socks?

29:33Speaker 3:Had little socks on the back leg.

29:35Speaker 2:That's so cute.

29:36Speaker 3:And I go riding every day, too.

29:38Speaker 2:What I would give to watch you as a child.

29:40Speaker 3:I had fun.

29:42Speaker 2:I feel like you were aloof.

29:44Speaker 1:Ditsy little baby girl Hutton. That's a good one to end it on. I love you guys.

29:48Speaker 2:Thank you for listening. We'll catch you next week.

29:50Speaker 1:Bye. Thank you.
