0:12

This is mommy and me, okay.

0:16

So we went to Australia together and

0:19

we went to Sydney and Melbourne, and like most

0:21

moms and daughters who are sick of each other, we are

0:23

laying on top of each other in about

0:26

like a sixth of my bed and the

0:28

doggies are on my feet, and

0:31

we love each other. We had a great trip and

0:34

there were so many things. Brinn held

0:36

in her hand. The most

0:38

valuable pearl in the world. It's a

0:41

past ballet pearl. It's been in the Smithsonian. It's

0:45

it was worth I think two hundred and fifty million

0:47

dollars in nineteen ninety eight. But

0:49

it was this magical experience where we saw

0:52

this business that had been around for

0:54

decades and it's a family business and they supply

0:58

like ninety five percent of

1:00

the pearls on watches and buttons

1:03

and things, and it was just amazing. Another day

1:05

we went to see Camilla the designer and saw her

1:07

whole infrastructure, and bring

1:09

came to my appearances and we

1:11

did everything. We ate everything, we did Vegromite,

1:13

we did all the

1:16

lollies, which is the candy, we did the

1:18

Tim Tam their cookie,

1:20

and the Tim tam Slam and we had

1:22

a great time. So I thought we were landing at

1:24

six and we weren't leaving until eleven.

1:26

We just wanted to get home and see the dogs.

1:28

Traveling twenty hours, so I go to

1:30

to change the flight. So

1:33

I changed the flight, and I say a

1:35

brit well, you know the flights

1:38

not till the original flight was not till eleven,

1:40

So we're saving all this time?

1:42

And what did you said?

1:43

Flight was at nine twenty thirty

1:46

five?

1:46

But you know what, because I thought it was it was at

1:49

ten, so we would have saved like fifty

1:51

five minutes, which is an hour which we should have done the.

1:53

Door No, because I would have spent all this money to save

1:55

that. I'm saying I was paying to change a ticket,

1:58

no, and I was going to get a credit. I thought

2:00

I was saving like two hours and that meant a big deal

2:02

to get home tonight and not be like home

2:05

late.

2:06

So we didn't realize you have

2:08

to like go walking through.

2:09

The thing with like ten thousand bags.

2:12

So we fight over whether to get the trolley

2:14

or not. And I said not to get the trolley, and Brin, the

2:16

adult, said to get the trolley because

2:18

we had five bags, three

2:20

big bags, two little bags, and

2:23

my top bag falls off really easily,

2:25

and it's very annoying. And so and in

2:27

the airport, like morons, they

2:29

do on a flat floor. They

2:31

just have like carpet and like bumpy things, and it's

2:33

really irritating. So anyway, to switch

2:35

flights, you got to get off,

2:38

you got to.

2:39

Walk to another terminal, or you got.

2:41

It, get your bags, go through

2:43

customs, which is really better.

2:45

If you're traveling, you want to do it.

2:46

You want your layover to be in a US city because the

2:49

last thing you want to do is you've been traveling twenty hours and

2:51

still have to go through customs.

2:52

So I did like that.

2:53

The layover involves getting the

2:55

bags. It's annoying because you have to recheck them,

2:57

but that's that's what happens anyway. So

3:00

then we were going over to Delta, which

3:02

was two terminals over, and we're

3:04

walking outside and we're in this

3:06

sweatshirt and we're pushing.

3:08

The wheelie over. The coffee on you.

3:10

I spilled coffee on me because I insisted

3:12

on getting coffee bean. I got the moca,

3:15

you got the blended mocha, And I told her

3:18

she's the adult. She said, no, Mom, this

3:20

is not a good idea. And I said, I just want a coffee.

3:22

I just want a coffee. I've been on the flight.

3:24

Well I think it was a good idea.

3:25

I'm really good.

3:26

But it wasn't a good idea because I had coffee over myself.

3:28

So then we had to go outside to two terminals

3:30

down and I was trying to push

3:33

the trolley and coffee was spilling over my arm.

3:35

But I wanted the coffee. And it was a

3:37

disaster.

3:37

And that's when Brin said, wait, Mom, we're talking

3:39

about nine thirty

3:41

five or saving twenty five minutes.

3:43

And I go, excuse me, I just.

3:44

Spent all this money to change a ticket to

3:46

save twenty five minutes. So I we're sweating

3:49

because I have the hot coffee. My arm pits are sweating.

3:51

We go back with these trolleys and

3:54

we're falling and it's not fun.

3:56

We went to the elevator to get into

3:58

the airport from the Delta terminal.

4:00

Oh okay, right now, okay, Oh I

4:02

thought we were going okay, So she's right. So

4:04

now we went to go two terminals over to Delta

4:06

midstream.

4:07

We're peeing.

4:08

It's midstream. I realized we're going back.

4:10

So then you have to go into one of those elevators,

4:13

no, those like elevators that you're

4:15

pushing your trolley in and you.

4:17

Go in one end and you go out the other end.

4:20

So there are a bunch of

4:22

I just remembered it was men, and they didn't have.

4:24

A lot of stuff like a backpack.

4:26

Here college guys like

4:28

yeah, okay, like now she thinks like some

4:30

of them are like twenty five, twenty six, but yeah,

4:32

yeah, and they're tall, they were, and

4:34

they all had just like a carry on. No

4:36

one had like, no one had a trolley or a lot

4:39

of stuff. There was one, like I think person who

4:41

worked at the airline.

4:41

Who was in there. But there was more than enough room for us

4:44

to come in.

4:44

But I still felt like we were intruding because you're those people

4:46

that have the trolley with the bags, Like, but that's what

4:48

the airport's about, Like what else if we're not getting

4:50

in the air in the elevator with people.

4:53

With you know, stuff in there.

4:55

So we get in and

4:57

we happened to, unfortunately

5:00

for those people, be.

5:01

The first stop. So

5:04

there's a guy.

5:04

Like behind me diagonally and a couple

5:07

of people in front of me, and several of

5:09

them are to the left, so they're not really like

5:11

in my way. But there was one

5:14

guy pretty much in front of me and

5:16

a guy behind me. So the elevator

5:19

stops for our floor. It opens up. I'm like, yeah, this

5:21

is my floor, and the guys that are like there's one,

5:23

it's actually one or two guys are looking back

5:25

like staring. I'm like, yeah, this is my floor. So

5:27

the guy behind me is like, hi, everybody, what happens

5:29

is we have to move now right, and the road rage

5:32

is setting in because I have sweating armpits coffee

5:34

all over my arm. I'm wearing a

5:36

Quantus pajama shirt under my

5:40

down under tourist sweatshirt and

5:42

my jappie like Gucci rhinestone

5:45

sneakers. I just took him a sweaty,

5:47

disgusting crossbody wreck and

5:49

so brings.

5:50

With me.

5:52

And the guy behind like, okay,

5:54

guys, this is when like you have to move. So the

5:56

guy he's sitting in the front, I could see him

5:58

right now with like a dope look on

6:00

his face, like a fluffy hair, and he's holding his.

6:03

Rolling like two pound carry on right.

6:05

He looks back at us and he's just standing there.

6:08

The doors are wide open. It's two elevator doors,

6:10

the wide open. We came in one way, which is

6:12

right behind us, and we're trying to get out, and he's standing

6:14

there looking and it's like and

6:16

he's looking, and we're just like I

6:18

was like, yeah, Hi, this is our floor looking,

6:21

this is our fun What do we at H and R Block

6:23

doing our taxes?

6:24

We're at the airport, like, this is what goes

6:26

on. We're getting off the airports and bags.

6:28

So the guy stands and I said hi,

6:31

and he's like and then the other guy is like trying

6:33

to get him to move out, and he's just like sort of tiptoeing

6:36

a little bit, like only gonna like have his body so he's

6:38

sort of near the I'm like, yeah, you know, it's great.

6:40

I go, don't worry, it's gonna be okay. It's

6:42

okay. Just step outside the elevator.

6:44

You know what's good about that? You can come right

6:46

back on. It's okay, no problem,

6:49

right? Is that what happened?

6:51

I love?

6:52

I don't think you should say it out loud.

6:54

I mean you could say you could just like a bad

6:56

word, because.

6:57

No, you're not gonna say it, but you can reference it. You

6:59

can like, you're not gonna say it because I don't want

7:01

to know. This is bad parenting. And I've never heard you curse

7:03

ever, and today it's not the day on this podcast.

7:05

I'm going, no, you're not okay.

7:11

I don't know what you're gonna do. But I

7:13

don't know.

7:14

I'm not I don't know, like I don't

7:16

remember what. I don't want

7:18

you to I didn't even hear it. I don't

7:20

know what you're talking about, but I don't want you to curse.

7:23

I don't know. You have to ask the audience.

7:25

Can I say bad word?

7:27

No, it's just not good parenting.

7:29

No, Mommy, it's okay. I'm gonna.

7:45

So I'm I'm like now, like okay, and

7:47

I'm like on the way out, so I'm like, yeah, it's

7:49

okay, you're gonna get right back and like full road

7:52

rage.

7:52

And then he was like, have a nice day, and then

7:54

he said, can I say it, mommy?

7:55

No, he does have a good flight. He did that.

7:57

I know, But then can I say I don't know if

7:59

you figure it out, Okay, I'm gonna say it.

8:01

Okay,

8:04

I'm scared, do you say this at school.

8:06

Tell the truth, don't lie.

8:08

I've said a bad word at school, but I don't say this word.

8:11

Okay, what bad word have you

8:13

said at school?

8:13

I've said the s H word when I stub

8:15

my toe a lot.

8:17

No, when I stub my toe? Well, how often you stub your

8:19

toe? Not much. That's the only time

8:21

you say that word.

8:22

Yes, my toe.

8:23

Okay, don't stub your toe. Okay, Okay,

8:27

I'm nervous. Okay, I just

8:29

say it. Do you want to me? You can say it in another

8:31

way. If it's an F word, it could be an f n.

8:33

Okay, it's an F word. But I feel like I should say

8:35

it.

8:36

You just feel like being something bad right now? This

8:39

is the podcast to do it. If it's any place.

8:42

I'm not listening.

8:44

Was like walking out, he said. I

8:47

was still in the elevator, so I fully heard it. And

8:49

he was like, my mom, I'm

8:51

scared.

8:53

Word. Okay, he said,

8:57

are you not?

8:58

I'm just embraced myself. I don't heard it. I

9:00

wasn't there and he said, he

9:06

that's all I said. He

9:09

farted in the elevator. What did

9:11

he say? Just say what he said? Fuck

9:16

o, idiot, that's

9:19

those.

9:19

Two words ef an idiot, yes, not

9:22

she's then he just said an idiot.

9:24

Yes, And I was still in the elevator.

9:27

And did you find it funny?

9:28

No, I just I don't know who.

9:30

Was right, be honest, you

9:34

No, you don't have to.

9:35

Say no, you were right because he was being lazy.

9:38

It was also really funny because you really yelling at everyone

9:40

in the elevator and everyone was just towering over you.

9:43

Well, no, the one guy was on my side. He's only started.

9:45

He's going to said, yeah, we gotta move, guys, and

9:48

that gave me license.

9:48

You were saying my thing.

9:50

Hear him?

9:52

Who the guy you couldn't

9:54

hear I heard?

9:57

No, I was out at the elevator

10:00

anybody he cursed him me.

10:01

I know, I meant like the guy who was like hyping

10:03

you up. He wasn't like you

10:05

couldn't see him, so he like it didn't really do anything.

10:08

It did something for me because it started it

10:10

when he said when he said,

10:12

hey, guys, we gotta move, I felt I got empowered.

10:15

And that's why I who cares? I don't

10:17

need to wake a date with him.

10:19

Everyone thought it was probably you know, he had a man's

10:21

voice because you know why he was a man.

10:23

I didn't sound anything like him anyway.

10:26

So we've been talking about it all day because she's like, can we talk about

10:28

the elevator? Because I had full road rage. I'm like,

10:30

this is aw someone gets canceled.

10:31

Guess what I do it again? The guy was a jacket.

10:34

You know what I do whenever I'm mad.

10:38

If my iPad like

10:40

falls off my bed like two

10:42

times in a row, yes, well, I'm trying

10:44

to watch a show, I'll get really mad and I'll like

10:47

lightly well not like.

10:48

Oh, I'll go I guess my iPad.

10:49

I'll like hit it a little bit, smack your eye.

10:52

This is my daughter's going at Harvard to

10:54

make Donald take it like mad?

10:56

And you want your iPad to be mad?

10:58

And in my phone like won't charge or to charge, like, won't

11:00

plug in? Then I like like because.

11:02

I want to get frustrated.

11:03

No, I don't get frustrated.

11:04

I wanted to feel the pain like it made me angry, So now

11:06

it has to be angry, like now it

11:08

has to feel what it did wrong, so it won't do it yet.

11:11

But that's not normal. Okay, just

11:13

so you're aware, I think that's not

11:15

normal.

11:16

And people are gonna hear this and someone's gonna come over

11:18

here with a straight jacket.

11:20

And put it on you.

11:21

Okay, I love you guys. We had the best time in Australia.

11:24

It was such a bonding experience.

11:26

In your life. Yeah, you're you're you're the

11:29

terminal. Oh, she's

11:31

right.

11:32

So when we did go back, when we

11:34

did come back, oh, we

11:36

were in the lounge.

11:37

She has such a good memory.

11:38

We were up in the lounge, the flagship

11:41

lounge at American is really it's what.

11:42

It's great.

11:43

And we were up in the lounge and thank

11:46

god because no one really there weren't a lot of announcements

11:49

about the flight and your flights, we're gonna start boarding now,

11:51

and I just the guy was really chill

11:53

when we checked in and said what time

11:55

we had to leave. So when we left the lounge

11:58

at ten, No,

12:00

we didn't leave ten.

12:02

We left it ten oh,

12:04

because it said boarding at ten, So we left

12:06

a ten.

12:07

But then when we asked somebody, they were like, oh, yeah,

12:10

it's just in the other terminal.

12:13

I looked at Bryn. I said, I don't like that word.

12:15

No, we didn't look at someone. We've realized

12:18

that ourselves.

12:19

I didn't just out of my mind realized that there

12:21

was another terminal, oh, because.

12:22

It said it said gates fifty

12:25

to fifty nine that way,

12:27

and I was like, oh, that's our gate, and then it said other terminals.

12:29

Oh right, sorry, No, you're

12:31

right, because we asked somebody about the other thing, the

12:34

terminal, but that wasn't the same elevator.

12:36

It was a different story.

12:37

Yeah.

12:38

Right, But I said to Brent, I don't like the word

12:40

terminal. She goes, Mom, I don't know what to tell you. We have

12:42

to go there, And then we were sprinting,

12:45

sweating.

12:45

I usually said like I would usually

12:47

say, oh, I agree, but I can't really

12:50

because it's just easy to say I agree. But

12:52

I couldn't really agree because we have to

12:54

go right.

12:57

Like oh yeah, so there was

12:59

a pause.

13:00

What to do.

13:00

Yes, I'll be the one that starts crying, and she'll be the

13:02

one that pulls it together. And I'm not kidding, she's the

13:04

parent on the I'm the child sometimes.

13:07

So anyways, we were like running, it's

13:09

anyway, so anyway we're

13:11

wait, anyways.

13:12

It's not. But I'm so glad.

13:14

We've got a couple of good examples of your

13:16

application for MIT.

13:18

So anyway, we were running

13:21

through to get to the terminal to

13:23

get to our gate, and we ended up

13:25

making it right,

13:29

yeah, and here we are, and my hair

13:31

was super greasy and there was like so many cute boys

13:34

in the like in our gate.

13:36

So that's a cautionary tail, which is

13:39

cute to the airport, decently cute,

13:41

not like a swamp thing octopus.

13:43

I know.

13:43

My hair was really like you could buy

13:46

chicken on it, and

13:50

All right, guys, bye

13:52

bye,
