Monica Padman

My stepdad had like a little bachelor pad on Riverside Drive.

And suddenly it's like he's living with three kids in his like bachelor pad.

He really was.

Three kids.

He was, and then Farna were just hitting this amazing peak, you know, like all these smashes, and they bought this really fancy apartment.

For reference, the next tower, or maybe it was your tower, but the Studio 54 guy had the top of one of those towers.

Yeah, Tony Randall from The Odd Couple.

Oh, sure.

That's a deep cut, but he was on the set.

Dustin Hoffman.

This is a very unique childhood.

But there were like crazy shit that happened with this dichotomy of knowing that all this stuff was crazy going on.

Like there was this one time that I stayed at Sean Lennon, who's one of my closest friends, at his house when Michael Jackson came over for a sleepover.

And I know- On the bad tour.

On the bad tour.

Also a sleepover.

Yeah, there's a lot.

It is different now to say some of these things for sure.

Wow, this is wild.

But even with that, I knew not to say anything in school the next day because I didn't want to be teased mercilessly or be made to be like, oh, you fucking dick or other or look like braggy.
