And when we say we don't do boundaries, it's not really a thousand percent correct. There are areas.

SPEAKER_00 0:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:24

Well today, we're gonna prove you wrong and we're gonna do it. Oh, we are? What are we gonna do? We're gonna tell them our stories with Bobby.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

My stories? Your stories. Uh I don't have any good stories.

SPEAKER_02 0:36

Okay, we got a lot. Let's start off. Really? At the dog park. We have you. It was me and Bobby. And everybody was there was like a bunch of people there. Two seconds the sky turns fully pitch black. Everybody's running away. We didn't realize that, so we're just standing by the creek. And then we realize that we're there by ourselves. So we start running back. Okay, I'm running with our with the two dogs then, which was Roxy and Leo. We're running. Okay, Bobby can't run.

SPEAKER_00 1:09

I can. I just I mean, I can't I can't run fast. But I could run. I can skip. I just you're faster than me. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:20

So basically, this it's like the biggest storm of like whatever. Like there was thunder and lightning. Yeah. Okay, we were running. We were in the car. We were we were in the car. Bubby's like, I don't know, 30 feet away from us. And I was screaming, Bubby, get over here. And then a tree starts tumbling down. It went. Okay, Bubby doesn't start moving any faster.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

Well, I didn't know which way it was gonna go. So it actually lightning hit it and I heard it crack, but I didn't know was it the whole tree, which was like three, four feet in diameter, or was it And it was like was it a big limb?

SPEAKER_02 2:01

It was it was like 40 feet in the air.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

Right, it just missed me.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

Okay, so as you can tell, it missed her by this by by an inch. It was literally an inch. And after that, she said, What would you have done if I got crushed in that tree? And I said, I don't know. She said, Stella, you would call on my phone. I said, Bubby, your phone was in your pocket. So it puts me at more danger to crawl under the tree.

SPEAKER_00 2:28

Nobody, and everybody had left. I've never seen people flee in areas so fast. But it was just wasn't my time.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:38

And it wasn't the only tree I've ever had an issue with. I had a tree hit my car and make it impossible for me to get out of the car. I've had a tree fall at my old.

SPEAKER_02 2:54

You could just open the top window and crawl out of the window.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

No. It hit the top.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 2:59

It hit the top. It came off like on a slight angle off a hill and across the road. And because I had a little sports car at the time, the headlights, it was raining and it was dark on a back road, and the headlights were lower than the tree that was across the road. I did not see a tree until it hit my windshield. But again, I escaped.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

I escaped.

SPEAKER_02 3:29

Okay, another thing that happened at a dog park.

SPEAKER_00 3:32

We went to You love going to the dog park with me.

unknown 3:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

That's why you haven't been going to the dog park. Probably.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

So there was this new dog park, and we were like, Bubby, why don't we just go to the other one? She's like, it's gonna be amazing. I love this dog park.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

It had great water features.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

Yes. So the dogs were in the water, and we were playing in the water, and I was like, halfway down the water, the water came. I was soaking wet. But then Bubby decides that we want to go walk around. She wants to just show us around the dog park that was kind of like a forest with a trail. So we were walking around the dog park and she screams, Roxy! And Roxy was getting like really nervous. We could hear her running around, and she was like, I don't know where she like she was looking for Bubby. And she turned the corner as fast as she possibly could because she didn't know she was gonna be there, and hit her to her feet.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

And her well She hit the back of my legs and knocked me off my feet.

SPEAKER_02 4:31

She flat on her back. So at the moment she started screaming, and then and then she said, My wrist, my wrist! So then my dad, being a doctor, he decided that we're gonna go over to the water, so we ran in the water, and then she decided, uh, it feels better. I'm gonna go drive home. And my mom was like, Nope, that's not happening. So we drove her to the hospital, and yeah, she broke her arm.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

Yes, I bet my dog broke my arm. And basically. And it really hurt.

SPEAKER_02 5:01

So then we all went to the hospital, and then my dad came to sit with her, and he left the room when they were putting the arm back in place.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

Right. That's when he left me. And I have to tell you, when was this? Two, three years ago? I was in my late 60s.

SPEAKER_02 5:17

That's when we went to Disneyland because in all the photos you have your wrist thing on.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

Right.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

So that was in 2023.

SPEAKER_00 5:23

Okay, so three years ago, but I was in my late 60s and I never had a broken bone before. So in the emergency room, they tell me to hold up my hand of the arm that's broken, and they put these things around my fingers tight, and then they were gonna pull. And I was like, Do you have to pull? Do you have to pull hard? Where's my son-in-law? And the guy was like, if I don't pull hard on those fingers, because what he had to do was lift the unbroken part to go, it was horrible. And then what happened a year and a half later? The other dog broke my other arm at home.

SPEAKER_02 6:17

I forgot that one!

SPEAKER_00 6:20

I didn't. I could tell you, nine out of ten injuries in my lifetime have come from the dogs knocking teeth out, splitting my head open, cutting myself with a razor knife, getting bit by them because I stuck my hand in. But yeah, so Roxy, actually, Roxy broke my left arm. It was Harry's.

SPEAKER_02 6:46

That broke your right arm.

SPEAKER_00 6:47

That broke my right arm.

SPEAKER_02 6:48

Well, now they're even my yard. Now they're even.

SPEAKER_00 6:51

Now they're even.

SPEAKER_02 6:52

Wait, did they pull your right arm up like they did for the left one?

SPEAKER_00 6:56

Yeah. And nobody was there.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

And it really hurt. And it's it's a good thing I've had a lot of experience with hospitals and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:10

But I know which story you really want to tell.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

I know.

SPEAKER_00 7:14

And I I don't know. Go ahead. You can tell.

SPEAKER_02 7:19

Which one?

SPEAKER_00 7:19

There's two that I Oh, there's two. What's that?

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Which one were you gonna say?

SPEAKER_00 7:24

The one at Disney where I had the best lunch I've ever had in my whole life. Okay. Best martinis. I wish I could afford to go there every day.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

So basically, going back because we're more organized today than we ever are. Going back to how we just said in all the photos at Disney, she had this brace on her arm. So when we were at Disney, it was our last day at Disney, and we went to like the it's kind of like a boardwalk. It was like the Disney, not to Disney Park. Was it Disney or was it um other? It was Disney, but it wasn't the Disney park. It was like the Disney it was like.

SPEAKER_00 8:00

I don't know, it was you guys went in a car that went on.

SPEAKER_02 8:04

Wait, Bobby. What? I gotta tell the story. Oh, oh. So we went to lunch, and I really wanted to go on this car that could drive on water. And I mean it was a boat, but like it it looked like a car. It was really a car. So it drives on the water. And so we had lunch and we left because it can only hold four people. And Bobby got a drink.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

Well, wait, you left out the best part. One of my all-time favorite things in the whole world to do besides talk to you is go out to eat and have a fabulous meal. I don't like to go out to eat and have a bad meal. A bad meal or bad service. I love to go. I mean, I'm a foodie. I know how to cook. And I had a restaurant, and I was so happy at this restaurant, the food, your daddy picked it. I was so happy he was bought me lunch, and you guys left me, and I had my second martini and a phenomenal dessert. And then you said I was drunk, but I didn't feel like I was. So basically, we came back.

SPEAKER_02 9:18

She was like, oh, oh, she was like hugging this like a waitress and was so we leave. I'm a bunch. And we get on this bus. She starts like laying on me. She's like, oh, Stella, we're having an amazing time. And then she likes starts slapping me. She's like, oh, Stella. And then she sleeps on me for the rest of the bus ride. And Bobby has. And then we go back to like the hotel and then Mickey and like uh whatever his name was. Goofy. Mickey and Goofy are there. And no, it wasn't Mickey. It was Goofy and Pluto. And Bubby was like, that's dance with them. And I was like, okay, Bobby. But aren't I fun even when I'm not drunk? And then we went to another place and she got another drink and she started hitting me with straws. Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_00 10:11

That was more recent.

SPEAKER_02 10:13

It was like two months ago.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

I don't think I I was so affected then. I just think I was having fun.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

She asked the person that was our waitress. She said, Can I live with you and can I come back every single day to this place with you? Yes. You said it, and you can drive me here every day.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Oh, it was the food. I must have loved the food. I loved the food.

SPEAKER_02 10:36

We have fun. And there was like different colored straws in the drink. She was like, I want the whole rainbow. Get me the straw. Yeah, but you're not. And then she was like, You guys don't have red straws. Like, where'd the red straws go?

SPEAKER_00 10:52

Okay, so maybe I had a little bit of influence from the alcohol. What did I have to drink?

SPEAKER_01 10:58

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 10:59

I don't even remember. At Disney I had an amazing Belvedere martini.

SPEAKER_02 11:07

At least you remember it.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

I well I used to I used to love to go sit in a bar, have a great meal, and I used to smoke, have a cigarette and martini.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

You're not allowed to do that anymore.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Well, I quit smoking a while ago, and I now I'm not allowed to drink anymore, according to your mother.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Yeah. So for good reasons.

SPEAKER_00 11:34

No, actually, she said I could drink at home alone, but I think that's kind of depressing? Yeah, actually, that would be very I think alcoholics do that. I don't need to drink.

SPEAKER_02 11:46

I she likes it. She loves to go out and talk to people and be fun.

SPEAKER_00 11:51

I love to go out and talk to people.

SPEAKER_02 11:53

Even though you have no friends.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

I well, them they'll ask me questions.

unknown 11:58

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

And I don't I don't need to go back and forth and that. I only go back and forth with you. But I think we should also say that we aren't always perfectly happy and copacetic together. No, we do have some.

SPEAKER_02 12:16

She annoys me a lot.

SPEAKER_00 12:18

There you go. I mean, we do have some rough spots, right? I don't this is hard work, our relationship.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

It is.

SPEAKER_00 12:26

And who's who's the one that always makes it work?

SPEAKER_02 12:31

Who?

SPEAKER_00 12:31

Me? Me. I didn't know who you were gonna say. Well, I don't. Well, do you think you're the one? No.

SPEAKER_02 12:39

I thought you were gonna say that though.

SPEAKER_00 12:41

No, I just won't let it be. When you get really mad at me or you cry and I'm so upset that you're Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:49

I'm like, I'm like, Bobby, can I just be upset for a little?

SPEAKER_00 12:51

And you're like, no, you need to solve it. Right. Well, you can be upset if I know why you're upset.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:59

And it's not anything to do with me. Go ahead and be upset. But no. I mean, we're only human.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:09

Right? And we're we're not only um gap by age.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

A lot of things.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

Culture, behaviors. I mean, I've lived a life. You you're just starting. And I have to be honest. I I have every faith in the world that you will conquer because you are so. And I know people go, oh, well, of course you feel that way. That's your granddaughter. No. If you were a complete dud, I would tell you. I you think I'd do a podcast with a dud of a granddaughter? I'd go, no, I don't think I want people to know you're my granddaughter. So it's got nothing to do with you're related to me. In fact, I'm surprised at how amazing you are because you're related to me. You know?

SPEAKER_01 14:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

Yeah. So that's what I I feel like this part of it was more to have people recognize you can have. I mean, I think you're entertaining, you're smart, I've learned things, I get to share things. I I know because I feel like I'm nearing the end of my life. I don't have, maybe I have 20 years left, but I don't know what state I'll be in. And I want to impart to you all the important things about how to get along and how to have a great martini, what you need to order. And if it comes in a big glass like this, and don't ever get um margaritas. I had to teach your father this. Don't get margaritas on ice. The ice melts and waters down your drink. Get your drink up in a martini glass. And then it's that's how you do it, see? Those those are my lessons about it. Makes it sound like all I ever do is drink.

SPEAKER_02 15:09

That was that that was twice.

SPEAKER_00 15:11

That was twice. I'm sure it might but I did own a restaurant and bar. Okay. And I couldn't drink there. I had to be awake to take care of everything. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:24

So I have one more story to finish episode.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

I'm afraid.

SPEAKER_02 15:29

This one is called the Wet.

SPEAKER_00 15:32

Oh wait, I don't know. That makes me this one makes me like I was so shocked. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 15:43

Okay. So she wanted to try to be a good person, which is a good thing, but in this situation it wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

No, because I see I drive by and there's this new salon, and I thought, oh, okay, I know I could go to haircuttery and it's gonna be cheap.

SPEAKER_02 16:02

And I know what they're gonna do.

SPEAKER_00 16:03

And I know what they'll do. I just wanted a trim, or I could go to my old hair salon, but I didn't want to pay $60. But I thought, here's a new place, and one woman, it her name Michelle something, right on the thing. It was just one woman. And I thought, okay, I'll give her the business, right?

SPEAKER_02 16:25

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 16:26

So I went home.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

And she washed her hair.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Right.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

And she went back and she walked in the door.

SPEAKER_00 16:34

I went back with a wet head.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Yes, she went back with a wet head. The lady said, it isn't wet enough. So she wet her head, just wet. I'm telling you, she did not shampoo or condition her hair.

SPEAKER_00 16:45

Right.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

She wet her head.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

She didn't give me a nice scalp um massage or anything.

SPEAKER_02 16:51

It's kind of like when, like, if you're just outside and you get hit by the o'.

SPEAKER_00 16:59

She's not thinking about this is giving me oxygen because Okay.

SPEAKER_02 17:07

Then the lady trimmed her hair.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

An inch.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Yes, just an inch. So she goes up, she pays. Um, maybe three days later, she comes to us. She said, You know that haircut I got was a hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a mistake.

SPEAKER_02 17:22

So she went back there. She asked the lady, I think you mischarged me. And she's like, What did I charge you? And Bubby said, a hundred. She's like, Yep, that's right. And she was like, wait, what then what would you have done if you I got shampooed and stuff? She said, a hundred.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

No, it would have been more. It was.

SPEAKER_02 17:39

$100 for everything.

SPEAKER_00 17:40

No, it was a hundred to start. That's I all I got was a wet and a cut.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:46

I didn't get a dry. I didn't get shampooed. I didn't get a massage. I didn't get anything. I was sure she mischarged me. Maybe.

SPEAKER_02 17:55

So she could have got four hundred dollars. She could have got the shampoo. Her hair dried. Her hair curled. Then her hair straightened again, then curled again. I mean it was I but when I went in there.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

So it's a hundred. And I'm not.

SPEAKER_02 18:10

So that means when you gotta wet four people could have got their hair curled twice in one time.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

I just I was so sure. When I saw it on my bank statement, I thought, this can't be. And and considering I was trying to be a good person and help her have her business, and I'm not wealthy by any means, had hundred bucks, really. I mean, you could have cut my hair for all I cared. I just you could have done a better job, I'm sure, too. And I would have been happy to give you a hundred bucks. But it was like, she I went in and I just went, she goes, Can I help you? And I said, Yeah, you remember me. And she goes, I think. And I went, I was just here two days ago.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

It wasn't like How many customers do you have that?

SPEAKER_00 19:01

She didn't have a lot, but you see, I'm gonna tell you what she did wrong. When I said to her, I think you mischarged me, and she said, Why would I charge you? And I said, a hundred. And in my mind, just for a wet, literal wet, like warm water splashed on my head.

SPEAKER_02 19:19

Like she was the newbie to her job. So like she could have been like she should have been smart, like price. I guess I could change it.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

Right. I think I didn't realize you didn't ru know how much it was gonna be.

SPEAKER_01 19:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:33

And it certainly wasn't I mean, I wouldn't have paid that at the fancy salon I used to go to. That's why I didn't go there, because I didn't want to spend a hundred dollars.

SPEAKER_01 19:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:44

But okay, you're done making fun of me?

SPEAKER_02 19:47

Yeah. I think I ran out of my favorite stories.

SPEAKER_00 19:51

I think if you l if you think about it a little bit, you'll remember some more. We had some really good ones.

SPEAKER_02 19:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:59
