1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Made a decision A face sunny sue
on. I hadasion nice wet Hi.

2
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:21,199
Everybody, welcome to for crying out
loud. I know that you probably don't

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,039
recognize this voice. This is weird. I understand. Take a moment.

4
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,359
It's me Stephanie, and I'm here
with Kaylin Hi. We were here with

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,640
Lynette for five minutes, I mean, not enough time for the show to

6
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,840
actually start. I'm sure she'll listen
to this back between bouts of puking.

7
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,399
She just wasn't feeling well. But
we have a show to do, you

8
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:51,159
know, the show must go on. Yeah. Apparently Sonny had a stomach

9
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,159
flu over the weekend and so she
came in just looking like she was about

10
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:58,719
to vomit. I think she was. She looked really ready to vomit when

11
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,399
she walked in and like, oh, let's get through one show. And

12
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:03,079
she sat down and I think she
did one of those all right, why

13
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:07,159
don't you go Why don't you go
home? And Stephanie will take it over.

14
00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,879
As I walked through the gate,
I saw her kind of like stooped

15
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,480
over. You know when somebody looks
like they're they're having a bad phone call.

16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,959
Like I was like, oh,
she she looked like she kind of

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,799
like hunched over a little bit,
like she was receiving some bad news via

18
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,480
the telephone. Yeah. But as
I got closer, I was like,

19
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,640
what what are you doing? She
was like, oh, Sonny, Sonny

20
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,840
has the stomach flu or had the
stomach flu. And I was like,

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,560
uh huh like it in my mind, I'm like, okay, so is

22
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:44,400
he wanting her to go back home? Because we all love it. Yeah,

23
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,200
when she walked in, oh,
Sonny. Second, I went,

24
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,480
oh, so you gotta got to
go take care of Sonny. Yeah,

25
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,560
no, No. Then she was
like, and I'm starting to not feel

26
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,680
well, and oh boy, yeah, Lynette. Let me say this about

27
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:04,599
Lynette. Lynette Corolla hard worker.
Probably doesn't have to be, but she

28
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:09,039
is very I mean, you know, I I have to I do other

29
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:15,719
projects here and there. And I
will say that Lynette most consistent shows up

30
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:19,439
every day every time. Yeah.
Uh, maybe not on time, but

31
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:23,199
like most time time close enough,
yeah, but very consistent, Like it's

32
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,719
very unusual. She's She's not a
person who is like I don't feel well,

33
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,319
I want to go home. Yeah. And when you're in podcasting,

34
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,080
I'm sure you've run into a lot
of those people that are I can't do

35
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:38,199
it today. I don't know about
today. It's like no, it's you

36
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:42,319
know, people get very Yeah that's
the thing about podcasting. They just go

37
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:44,919
it'll be you know, it's so
kind of relaxed and the schedules are so

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,879
all over the place anyway that a
lot of times people just make excuses for

39
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,840
not wanting to do their episode.
Oh we won't do it this weekend.

40
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,919
That's not Lynette. She's always coming
in. And yeah, the people that

41
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,560
do make those kinds of excuses,
they tend their podcast attends to fall off

42
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,360
after a little while. Yeah,
it is a job, you know.

43
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:06,439
Yeah, although we get paid to
just sit around and like chit chat,

44
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,759
which is fun. Well, you
actually have a harder job. I get

45
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:14,919
paid to just you know, share
about life. But it is still a

46
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:20,759
job, and people have expectations of
their product coming out on a consistent basis.

47
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,840
There's nothing that annoys me more than
if I like a podcast and set

48
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:30,280
they you know, once every few
weeks they do an episode and then more

49
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:31,840
weeks go back and you're like,
well is this still a podcast? Like

50
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,960
what happened? And there's no reason, Like I like my podcast to come

51
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,080
out around the same time every week, so that I have an expectation that

52
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,319
I'm looking forward to it and I
want to listen to it. Consistency is

53
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,639
very important in podcasting, and when
you're not, the audience will get very

54
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,039
irritated. Rightfully, so like you're
you know, you get up, you're

55
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,319
doing whatever you do while you listen
to podcasts working out, driving, work,

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280
and then your favorite podcast is not
posted when it's normally posts on what

57
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:08,039
the fuck what's going on here?
It's very irritating. I have that sometimes

58
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:12,840
with this podcast. I listened to
Crime Junkie, Court Junkie, not Crime

59
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,759
Junkie Court Junkie. We had her
on our show. Jillian is the host

60
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,639
of it. We had her on
our show a long time ago, and

61
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,680
she's had a bunch of stuff.
She she's very consistent. I really like

62
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:30,279
the podcast, but she was pregnant
and then like stuff was going on,

63
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,480
and then you know whatever, you
know, she had a baby or whatever,

64
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,519
no big deal, but some of
the episodes weren't really coming out that

65
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,199
often, and then what kind of
bugs me it's funny is uh so she

66
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,120
started she has another podcast called,
uh It's Not Court Junkie. It's called

67
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,639
Civil and it's about civil cases,
which I really like because it's I don't

68
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,959
I don't like love the murder stuff
as much anymore. Really, Yeah,

69
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,920
it's just it's gets tiresome. I
don't just hearing about people getting murdered.

70
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680
But I like this psychological aspect of
it, you know. I like hearing

71
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,399
about like how they found the person. And I love hearing about the trial,

72
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:15,199
which is why I like Court Junkie, but that also has a lot

73
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,000
of the murder itself in it.
But Civil is like talking about the Bill

74
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,519
Cosby case or talking about like a
I don't know, the McDonald's hot Coffee

75
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:29,720
case, or things that are really
interesting to me. But anyway, she

76
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,079
was pushing that podcast really hard on
her main podcast, like you gotta listen

77
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:36,199
to Civil. If you like this
podcast, you'll love Civil, and I

78
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,480
was like, yeah, I do. I definitely love Civil. I'm signed

79
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:44,079
up. I've listened to all the
episodes. But then it just stopped posting

80
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:49,399
May in May. Any explanation December, No, never has there been an

81
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:54,160
explanation. No social media you follow
her on Instagram and stuff, any kind

82
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:58,399
of like still promoting the show.
Oh if you listen to Court Junkie,

83
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:00,399
there's still a Hey, if you
like this, go check out civil It's

84
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:05,720
like we have and we're waiting for
an episode. If you go on Reddit,

85
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,319
you'll see sometimes they'll be like what
happened to Sylvil? Like why are

86
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,759
we still being told to go follow
it? When because, by the way,

87
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:17,839
they were only like eight episodes.
It's not like it's like there were

88
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,079
it's not like it went on for
you know, fifty episodes and there's a

89
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:25,040
whole back catalog and that's you know, go listen to the No, it

90
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,720
was like eight episodes and then then
nothing, no explanation, nope. Huh

91
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,680
yeah, well that's that's very frustrating, very fast. Yeah. Yeah.

92
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,240
By the way, uh, here's
some people that probably do get excited to

93
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,240
hear a new episode of our show
every week, and that's our people that

94
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:46,800
pay twenty five dollars on Patreon like
share Bear, Hi, Share Bear and

95
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:51,240
Amy She's a Hunt but we love
her? And Katie E. E.

96
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,959
Murphy and not Anna Ferris and Aaron
who dies? And Nikki Call Your Girls

97
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:02,079
and Leslie still costing people this time
outside of May Company, which doesn't even

98
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:06,160
exist anymore. So that's what's weird, Leslie find a department store that's still

99
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:09,600
open. Had to google what that
was the first time you said it,

100
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,959
even know what that is. It's
very old school. And Jacob is so

101
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,319
growley, and Rita Rocks Elizabeth Williamson's
kids in her basinette even though it's kind

102
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:21,040
of crowded in there. Athena Ginard, we love you, Polly, we

103
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:25,240
love your pancakes. Valerie, Bubba
Fenwick, Katerine to check your moler,

104
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Gabby and Missy up to no good
as always, e Shan Vashpey, He's

105
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:33,079
hot, Rebecca a little Bita's so
cute and just moved to Hawaii. And

106
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:38,839
Kelly Brandt is not your aunt,
Alicia Escavante, Leslie's stop coughing, Sarah

107
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:44,279
Stefano, she's our Paisano, Aaron
Dirty Sanchez, Jennifer get up, Sandra,

108
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:46,120
it's not easy being green. Christa, you make us want a droop.

109
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,759
And Stephanie Stinker Rinker. And also
I want to say thank you so

110
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:59,680
much to everybody who kicked in some
cash so that I could make we could

111
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,279
all make, but I was the
face of it. Anna, who is

112
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:11,000
the mom of Lyle, Lyle crocodile. And let's just call Lyle's younger sister,

113
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,120
let's call her Lola. Lyle and
Lola. Yeah, she's a seventh

114
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,000
grader and oh my god, they're
just the best kids. And I was

115
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,800
able to give Anna over two thousand
dollars. Wow, yeah, that's great.

116
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,840
And she told me that she'd recently
lost her ATM card so and she

117
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,440
was waiting for the replacement to come
in the mail. And she went two

118
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,279
weeks without being able to go to
the grocery store, she told me,

119
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:46,200
which is like so sad. This
is really this money couldn't have gone to

120
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,720
a more I think just deserving person
works her butt off, is always working,

121
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,679
but you know, makes minimum wage. Yeah, it really sucks.

122
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:01,679
But she was so grateful and she
was like she doesn't understand what I do

123
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,759
or who people are, but she
understands that there's a community of people who

124
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,120
know her story and care about her. And she was like tearing up and

125
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,559
just saying, please tell them I'm
so grateful. And I was like,

126
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:18,000
I will. That's great, that's
wonderful. It makes me so happy that

127
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,720
so Lyle is still Xander's BFF.
And I think I told you this on

128
00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:31,240
a previous show. But we brought
Lyle over to Xander's school because he plays

129
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,559
guitar and he's really good, and
the kid has just been through so much.

130
00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:41,399
But like he's a very serious kid. Although Xander says that he's funny

131
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,279
and fun yeah, but he has
a he's very serious and focused and he's

132
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,799
a really good guitar player. And
he was at the big local public school

133
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,240
where they had a and one of
the things he why reasons he wanted to

134
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,960
go to that school was because they
had a guitar class. But he went

135
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,720
to that guitar class and he told
us that it was very boring and it

136
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:13,240
was just very rote and learning sheet
music and scales and you know, and

137
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,000
his technical stuff, technical stuff,
and it was just like and then he's

138
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,799
hearing Xander talk about being in a
band, and like our music teacher for

139
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,480
the music program, which I'll talk
more about in a few minutes, but

140
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,200
is just a really cool young guy
who's like an amazing guitar player, and

141
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,799
he's just full of energy and life
and creativity and he's always trying to come

142
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,639
up with new ways to teach the
kids music. And but he has separated

143
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,240
them all he has two full classes
of kids that make up this program and

144
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,320
he's separated them all into bands.
So Sadie's in a band, Xander's in

145
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,159
a band, and anyway, this
kid was just hearing Xander talk about how

146
00:10:56,159 --> 00:11:03,159
fun this was and doing these performances
and anyway, so Anna brought Lilee Crocodile

147
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,799
over to our school. It was
a last minute decision. She had to

148
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,679
go get all his paperwork and he
missed the first day of school. But

149
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:18,240
now he's there and he's so happy
and he's you know, and Xander's so

150
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:22,360
happy to have him. And it
was really sweet because he's in the meat.

151
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,039
We got him into music lab.
Yeah, and so he was he's

152
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,240
in a band. So Xander's in
a band, Sadie's in a band,

153
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:31,200
and Lilee Crocodile is in a band. So we had our big show on

154
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:37,559
Saturday and it was just so fun. And for Anna, that's where I

155
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,639
gave her the money to watch her
Like she gets to watch her son doing

156
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,600
something he loves and he kicks ass. He's like a really good guitar player.

157
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:50,279
He had his solos in his songs
and he just see his face,

158
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,720
he just looks so focused and serious, but like a rocker he's doing a

159
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,639
little bit of and not on purpose, but he was doing a little blue

160
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:03,919
steal like he had a little of
that like rocker face, like loose deal,

161
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:07,799
you know, like like conduct lips
a little bit, but not on

162
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,120
purpose. But it just looks so
freaking cool. Yeah, yeah, it's

163
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,159
very nice. Why don't they all
just form a band together. I mean,

164
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,279
they might need to find a drummer, but then yeah, they should

165
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,399
all just do a band together.
I know, you know there are some

166
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:28,679
of these kids at this school,
well Xander sings and Sadie sings. I

167
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,960
don't think Lilly Crocodile sings, but
yeah, I mean, or they could

168
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,840
just form a band with some other
kids at school. This is a very

169
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,759
talented group of kids. It's it
really feels like a performing arts school,

170
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:46,480
like some kind of New York art
school. It's very cool. John and

171
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:52,080
I were watching the show and we
were like, this is very reminiscent of

172
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,799
like old watching episodes of Fame.
But you probably never watched that show.

173
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,759
I did not watch that way before
your time. That was like high school

174
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:05,480
for me. Loved that show Fame
and Live. It was about a new

175
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,799
York's New York Performing Arts School.
Yeah, no, I've never no anyway,

176
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:16,399
So we should do we should should
break for a quick ad. We

177
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:20,840
should you know, we should talk
about Hello Fresh Love, Hello Fresh Right.

178
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,279
Yeah, when they sent over their
latest box to me, they sent

179
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:31,159
over like a pork tenderloin with like
a dill mustardy sauce to go on it.

180
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,799
And it was it was so good
and it was great and yeah,

181
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:37,200
the whole family loved it. Even
the kids eat it. Even they liked

182
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,360
it. And that was just one
of the meals they sent. This is

183
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:45,399
why we got I got free meals
as well, obviously, and then I

184
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:50,279
joined up right and used our code
because I was like, this really is

185
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,879
so convenient. I love I do
the I do two meals a week,

186
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,039
and I do it for four people, even though there's five people because inevitably

187
00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:01,720
somebody's not home. Yeah, so
it's fine, Like it's plenty of food

188
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,200
and oftentimes it's enough food to feed
five people anyway, Like they don't skimp

189
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,159
on you. Yeah, and I
made some I love this seafood that they

190
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:18,240
have. I made this pecan encrusted
trout that was like professional. It was

191
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,039
you would have found a chef made. It makes me feel so good and

192
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,159
proud of myself. And I love
the fact that I don't have to think

193
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,960
too hard at the grocery store and
buy spices that I'm never going to use

194
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,600
again. The one thing that it
eliminates that is my favorite. It's just

195
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:37,279
that daily question of what do we
have for dinner? Every day it's all

196
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,000
right, what's for dinner? And
every day you just get say, okay,

197
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,120
let's do this, let's do this. It's so much easier just oh,

198
00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:45,559
we have this in the fridge,
let's just make it. Don't need

199
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,559
to worry about that at all today. It's so convenient, and it's usually

200
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,279
pretty easy to put together in like
thirty minutes, and it comes with these

201
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,879
nice pictures so that there takes the
guesswork out of it. Yeah. So

talk about Neutraphil, Neutrifil I love.

207
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,120
I wish Lynette was here because she
loves it too, and her hair looks

208
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,159
great. And I've also told a
lot of my friends about neutrafol because here's

209
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:41,480
the thing, women and men,
But you'd be surprised at how many women

210
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,080
find themselves getting older, hormonal changes
with thinning hair, and it's no longer

211
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,480
something that you need to be embarrassed
about. Let's normalize losing our hair a

212
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:56,840
little bit and do something about it, like take nutrifol. It's really an

213
00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:04,720
amazing product. It makes your hair
feel visibly thicker and fuller and less shedding.

214
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:07,960
Because for a long time, I
don't know if it was stress or

215
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,519
just because I'm way out of the
change in life, but just hair in

216
00:16:12,559 --> 00:16:15,720
the drain, hair in my hands
when I was washing my hair, and

217
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:21,480
it's gotten so much better. It's
the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement

218
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:27,039
clinically shown to improve visible thickness and
strength. So take the first step to

219
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,240
visibly thicker, healthier hair. For

224
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,519
Nice. So you did say that
the show that you went to went on

225
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,799
for quite a wh while, right, Okay, So yeah, here's the

226
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,480
thing. So Saturday, and I'm
going to also talk about this on the

227
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:15,759
old Patreon because that's where I can. But I was, I have I've

228
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:22,200
been elected, not on my own
not I didn't. I didn't nominate myself.

229
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:26,839
Let's just say I was. I
was asked to be the liaison between

230
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:33,799
the parents and the music program.
Saturday was the big show. So today

231
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,440
is Monday. So this just happened, and I'm still tired, and I

232
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:42,480
have like a crank in my neck
from just like the stress of it all.

233
00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:48,319
But it was the big show.
All three of the kids were performing

234
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,880
in separate bands. He separated everybody
in bands, like I said, in

235
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,759
each band got to do like a
fifteen to twenty minute set and how many

236
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:03,240
bands were there? There were eight
bands. Yeah, you also have to

237
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:06,480
consider the fact that, you know, it gets started like a little bit

238
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:14,680
late, and that's set up time
in between bands and in each set.

239
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:19,319
So there was a set of like
four bands plus just some free free songs,

240
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:26,759
like some extra extra songs. Now
every extra song requires getting the band

241
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,839
members together, setting up new set
of instruments to do one song. Right.

242
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:36,359
Yeah, the show was over four
and a half hours long, Like

243
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,480
it was crawling up on five hours
long, painful. It was insanity.

244
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,400
It was insanity. No, nobody
want to spend five hours watching their kids

245
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,599
do anything, you know, And
for a lot of these parents, they

246
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:56,079
have one kid that they're there to
see their kid, and like that's twenty

247
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,839
minutes out of like an almost five
hour show. Yeah, what time was

248
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,000
this at? It started at three
o'clock in the afternoon. You're burning your

249
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:10,680
entire Saturday, yes, yeah,
and Saturday night yes yeah, yes,

250
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,359
and Saturday night. Also, because
I was helping with it, I had

251
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,039
to be there. I was there
at one thirty plus doing stuff for days

252
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:23,319
beforehand, So I was there from
one thirty until I don't know late,

253
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,440
because then I had to clean up
afterwards, you know, did you have

254
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:30,839
other parents helping you too, or
are you the last kind of tune into

255
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:37,119
Patreon kind of kind of yeah.
I mean, look, people were there

256
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,039
and they were happy to be there
and they were happy to support the school.

257
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:45,799
But it's too long to have a
show, and you know you can

258
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,119
get you you get your like energy
yet because you're looking. I don't know

259
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,960
if you do this when the kids
are doing something, but like I'm looking

260
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,599
at the program like a hundred times, Like I just keep looking at the

261
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:59,240
program like is this coming? Because
they list the band and their set list

262
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:03,680
right each band is playing like five
songs some of these bands. Yeah,

263
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,279
So like you're looking and you're like, okay, so this band that I'm

264
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,200
no offense but not enjoying very much, you know, some kind of heavy

265
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,039
metal band. Plus you're watching some
of the songs were like thrash metal.

266
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:21,680
And I'm watching, like you know, Joey's like seventy five year old grandma

267
00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,880
who came to watch the show,
and I'm like, how are these people

268
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,640
holding up if I'm feeling like my
ears are getting assaulted right now? You

269
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,160
know, cause some of the bands, You're like, oh, okay,

270
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,519
I like this this oh, this
band's playing some soul music. But then

271
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,880
it's like, you know, you're
it's not like a concert I would have

272
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,079
gone to that. Yeah, yeah, it's not bands I would have like

273
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,880
paid money to see. But you
know, when my kids were up,

274
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:49,640
it was like fun. But in
between that, you're like, Okay,

275
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,440
how many more songs till my till
Xander's up. You know, you're like

276
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,759
counting them out in your head,
like the one song come yah yeah.

277
00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:00,279
And then I'm like, okay,
here's the band because there was like two

278
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,480
bands before Xander, And I'm like, okay, now they're on the third

279
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,599
song of that, so can I
go out? Can I go out of

280
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,640
the room? But then nothing's happening
outside of the room either because it's people.

281
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,960
It's not a thing. It's not
like you're at like a farmer's market

282
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,480
where there's in this place there's bands
playing, but you could go walk over

283
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,400
here and get a boba, you
know now, but at least there's no

284
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,480
thrash metal playing in your ears if
you were to just step outside, That's

285
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,839
what I had to do. I
had to do that because I'm getting older

286
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,680
and I don't enjoy thrash metal,
and these kids were really into it.

287
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,079
They you know, I felt bad
like leaving, but you know, there

288
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:41,920
are plenty of people. But what
I felt bad for was the last band.

289
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:47,960
Nobody except for the parents of the
people in the last band, want

290
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,680
to stay that long. So you
got kids that stay and a few parents.

291
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:56,119
But people are like, wrap it
up. Would it have killed them

292
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,440
to just break it off into two
separate days, like two different events.

293
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,920
Try and break up the classes and
then one Saturday and the next Saturday or

294
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,759
Saturday and the Sunday. I feel
like they should have done that. Yeah,

295
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,920
Or my note would have been have
all the bands do three songs like

296
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,960
that's plenty sure, because a lot
of these kids also were like guesting in

297
00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:22,039
another band, so you know what
I mean. It's like you got to

298
00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:26,839
see plenty of each kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a lot.

299
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,160
It was so much. But you
haven't really hit the time of your

300
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,359
life where your kids are going to
be full on constantly doing things that you

301
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,200
have to watch because you've just had
a taste of it with soccer. Yeah.

302
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,799
I got a taste of it with
with soccer when soccer was going and

303
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:48,839
dance was going. Yeah, I
got a little taste of it, and

304
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:56,119
then it's this week is their Christmas
show, their Christmas concert that they all

305
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,960
the kids go to the chapel and
all the parents go there and we want

306
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,039
Last year it was fun and I
think it only lasted about like a half

307
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,759
hour forty five minutes. They sing
two songs and then they're out. And

308
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,359
so that's this Thursday, they're doing
that again. Oh that's so cute.

309
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,960
Though. Yeah, it's really cute
when they're little, it's it's very cute.

310
00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:18,640
Yeah. But yeah, Island Blake
have been very shy lately. Really

311
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:23,480
yeah. I I a few weeks
ago I talked about their their little prayer

312
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:26,480
thing that they do at dinner time. That's just this cute little thing that

313
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,039
they do every day. And then
we tried to refuse to do it Thanksgiving,

314
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,279
would not do it, and for
I think it like scarred Blake because

315
00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:37,359
now, for some reason, every
time she does it just with us at

316
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,839
the dinner table, she like whispers
it really quietly, and I go,

317
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,799
why are you whispering? And she
goes out because I want to so ih,

318
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:48,079
my god. But yeah, and
just in general too, I was

319
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,000
at a costco the other day I
had to get a new car battery.

320
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,599
I was told by the trip lake
I go to Costco. They got the

321
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:59,240
best battery. So I went to
Costco and I brought Blake with me,

322
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,759
and we're waiting in the car battery
place in their little automotive section, and

323
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,160
this very nice old guy like you
know, they like to talk, Oh

324
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,440
hey, how are you doing,
little one, and Blake will just straight

325
00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:14,119
hide behind me. She won't look, she won't do anything. If any

326
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,759
like strangers talk to them when I'm
there, or even if they're trying to

327
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:21,200
be nice, she won't say a
word. She'll just hide. So and

328
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,440
this is a new thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, they

329
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,400
weren't you know, comfortable with strangers
talking to them obviously in the past.

330
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,359
But they would, you know,
stand there and I'd say, oh,

331
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,359
say hi or thank you, and
they'd say, oh, thank you in

332
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,640
they're a little shyway. But now
Blake will just straight hide and we'll try

333
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,839
and act like it's not even happening. Interesting And so I don't know,

334
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,160
We're going to see when the concert
comes up on Thursday, but uh,

335
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:52,319
yeah, I don't I wonder if
she's going to be out there and energetic

336
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,599
or if she's going to be all
shy again like she has been lately.

337
00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:00,400
I remember when Elbie was really little. I think I was talking about this

338
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:06,000
on the last show, but she
was like that for had a big face

339
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,880
like that, the anxious and didn't
really want to talk to people. And

340
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:14,799
her first little dance recital I think
she was four. I was very where

341
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,079
I was like, this is never
gonna got well, like, she's not

342
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,880
gonna I think she'll refuse to come
out and go out on stage. Nope,

343
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,799
she was totally fine, probably the
only one out there that even like

344
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:27,119
knew the like she was fine.
She just once she's locked in. She

345
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,279
just went out there did her thing. And I was like, what,

346
00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,599
who is that child? So they
can surprise you? Yeah, and with

347
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:40,359
all the other kids there, I'm
sure that's going to be very comforting as

348
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,000
opposed to you know, like the
Thanksgiving where everyone is just staring at them.

349
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,640
Yeah, be a little intimidating.
How is Aila in her last year

350
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,519
of preschool? Yeah? Oh so
next year kinder? Yeah, I think

351
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,240
it's kinder. Is a pre k
I think it's kinder. And the way

352
00:25:56,319 --> 00:26:00,200
that you know Blake is well,
when is she five June, end of

353
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:04,720
June. Okay, so no,
she'll be in kindergarten, in kindergarten,

354
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,839
but it'll be but Blake because she
was born in August, she can you

355
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:12,880
know, move over to pre k, Like, if we find a school

356
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,119
for Isla, she could just skip
into pre k and go to Iola.

357
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,400
Yeah, so that'll hopefully be helpful. And yeah, we should probably start

358
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,079
looking looking at schools. Yeah,
I mean, you don't have just like

359
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:34,000
your local neighborhood school. We do. But you know, Amy's a teacher

360
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:38,160
and she's been hearing not so great
things about the local schools. So she's

361
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:45,359
been asking one of the parents at
the soccer games her kids were going to

362
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:49,319
some like Catholic school, And me
and Amy are like, again, you

363
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:52,359
know, we don't care. We'll
put them in a religious neither of us

364
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,559
are religious, but you know,
if the school's good, and I think

365
00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:00,400
it's about the same price as we're
paying now for you know where they're going,

366
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,359
yeah, we'll send them there.
So we've been thinking about just sending

367
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,599
them to like a Catholic school and
this one that this girl recommended, seeing

368
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,880
what that's like, yeah, I
mean, definitely goes see it and oh

369
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,680
yeah, because some of them are
more religious than others. Yeah. I

370
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,920
mean again, we don't care about
their religion. But I wouldn't want it

371
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,279
to be too heavy, you know, as long as it's you know,

372
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:26,480
every now and then whatever. You
know, it's kind of cute whenever we

373
00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:30,480
pass, you know, the Christmas
decorations and island, like, oh look

374
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:36,200
it's baby Jesus. Yeah, I
know, so Julie case we were you

375
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,920
know, Julie and I were friends
when the kids were really really young,

376
00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:44,759
LB and Bella before they were even
two, and we went through the whole

377
00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:48,000
like where are we going to send
them to? You know, elementary school,

378
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:53,400
kindergarten, elementary school? And we
went to this one school that we

379
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,079
both really liked, but it was
a private school. And I was like,

380
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,440
okay, if I pay for this, then I got two more coming

381
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,880
up behind. I can't like pay
for one and then go, well you

382
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,240
two or shit out of the Look, you guys can go to the local

383
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:11,400
school. Not good enough for my
LB, but you guys will be fine.

384
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,000
But Julie went. We all ended
up sort of scattering my little mom

385
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:21,119
group and I we were all like
it was like every man for himself because

386
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,200
some schools were hard to get into. We were on like waiting lists for

387
00:28:23,319 --> 00:28:30,640
schools. So I got my kids
into the what is Valley Charter, which

388
00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:34,240
was like the independent charter school that
then I went on to have a love

389
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,599
hate relationship with that. Our audience
would be like, go put them in

390
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,079
the regular the public school, and
I was like, no, I'm not

391
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:48,119
going to anyway. But Julie sent
her kids to this private school that was

392
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,160
like a Christian school that has a
really good reputation, and they lasted like

393
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,960
a few weeks until her daughter started
coming home going, mom, what's hell

394
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:06,079
Fire? There was a kindergarten she
was learning about going to Hell, and

395
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:11,400
Julie was like, oh hell no, puled her out and moved her to

396
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:15,480
the first school that we'd all gone
to see that we liked that private school.

397
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,400
Yeah, that's that would probably be
my out as well if they came

398
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:25,119
home talking about Hell. It was
funny because Julie's funny because she so she

399
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,279
had liked this other school that she
ended up at, but she got talked

400
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:32,799
into it by her friend who was
like, oh no, I've heard such

401
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:34,720
great things about the school. And
they were all going to those two were

402
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:40,359
going to put their kids in together. So she bails and doesn't have the

403
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,119
heart to like even tell the friend. She's just like, doesn't say anything.

404
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,000
And then the friend was like mad
for like a long time, but

405
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:52,200
she was like whatever. And then
at the school that she was at that

406
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:56,680
where she now teaches, this elementary
school, her kids are out of there,

407
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:03,400
and ironically her kids go to a
private Catholic school. Oh yeah,

408
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:08,279
yeah, which is I don't think
very religious. But anyway, so there's

409
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:11,519
good and bad. Yeah, this
school wasn't a Catholic school. It was

410
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:17,079
a Christian like elementary school. Yeah, so yeah, you know what,

411
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:22,160
I'm so dumb and just don't pay
attention to any religion. I just go,

412
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,759
oh, Christian, Catholic, what's
the difference, They're like the same

413
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:29,519
thing, right, I don't even
like the Christian or Catholic. I got

414
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:32,119
they like pretty much the same thing. I don't even know, I think.

415
00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:36,079
I mean, wow, I'm going
to sound really dumb. Well,

416
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:41,079
there's Catholicism, which is not It
isn't Catholicism a form of Christianity though,

417
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:48,000
You're you're asking me. I went
to school with mostly Jewish kids, so

418
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,599
I know, Judy ism more than
anything else. Ye went to a lot

419
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,839
of barmbomb metzas in middle school and
that was uh, yeah, that was

420
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,680
tough to say. It was like
every single week end was you know,

421
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:07,079
as like a thirteen year old.
Every single Saturday another bar bought mitzvah and

422
00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:08,960
the parties were fun. But yeah, I kind of felt like you were

423
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:15,000
sitting at that that show for five
hours every Saturday. I just sit there

424
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,720
watching the same thing with all my
energy in my add is driving me crazy.

425
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,599
Well, you remember I told you
even my nephew's bar mitzvah went on

426
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,839
for way too long, and I
was just like, dude, you guys

427
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:30,000
are not that Jewish. Stop already, Like it was a conservative. So

428
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:37,279
there's Conservative, which is not Orthodox. It's like one step down from Orthodox,

429
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,119
and then there's Reformed, which is
like the looser, hippier form of

430
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,640
Judaism, a little more kumbaya,
a little less rules. So but my

431
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,200
sister in law goes to a conservative
temple for whatever reason. But yeah,

432
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,160
that's the thing. It's like,
you're culturally Jewish, but like, is

433
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,079
there any reason why this service needs
to be three hours? Yeah, there

434
00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:07,880
really isn't any reason for it.
And they're mostly friends with people who are

435
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,039
not like super juice. So you
look around and we're all just like checking

436
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,160
our watt like pulling our phones out
furtively and like, oh my god,

437
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:22,200
how long has this been going on? I wish and and circling back checking

438
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:29,319
the program like a hundred times.
Like with Jewish stuff too. Some of

439
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:34,480
these prayers like they go on really
long. Like you'll look at it and

440
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,319
it'll have one line of the prayer, but then that will go on for

441
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,319
fifteen minutes because it's repeating, right, It's like a thing, and then

442
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:45,400
it repeats. So just when you
think, oh, this should be wrapping

443
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,319
up, like we've said all this, and it's like no, it's starting

444
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:52,160
over, and then that one prayer
thing will go on for ten fifteen minutes

445
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,359
and you're like, I thought we
were going to be moving on to the

446
00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:59,880
next part of the program by now, and you're like praying for an interner.

447
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,240
I just want to get up and
like go have a cup of coffee

448
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:07,039
or like go to the bathroom.
Yeah, it's maddening tough, you know

449
00:33:07,039 --> 00:33:12,880
what. Let's talk about something that's
the opposite of maddening. Let's talk about

450
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,359
bombas. Oh, Bombas is the
best. I just ordered a bunch of

451
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:22,240
new Bomba socks to put in my
kids stockings. Great stocking stuffer. Great

452
00:33:22,319 --> 00:33:27,519
stocking stuffer because they're so soft and
they're so cushiony. It feels like you

453
00:33:27,599 --> 00:33:30,079
just got yourself a new pair of
shoes just because you're wearing like nice socks.

454
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:35,680
And I can't I have There are
a couple of old socks that have

455
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,960
snuck into the drawer and I get
so mad when I open the sock drawer

456
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,839
and there's like an old you know, like Puma sock, and I'm like,

457
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,119
what where are my Bombus? Yeah, because the kids steal all the

458
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:50,279
Bombus. So anyway, this will
really help me this holiday season. Yeah.

459
00:33:50,279 --> 00:33:52,200
Well, Amy's parents were like,
hey, what do you want for

460
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,319
Christmas? What should we get you? And I was like, I don't.

461
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:55,200
I don't really need anything. And
then I was like, oh,

462
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:59,359
hey, Bombus, get me some
socks. I can always use socks.

463
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,240
Bombas is great. All right,
done and done. Yeah. And what

464
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:05,720
we love about Bombas is for every
pair you buy, they give a pair

465
00:34:05,799 --> 00:34:09,599
to homeless shelters. And they really
do. Because we were talking to somebody,

466
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:14,280
I forgot somebody on our page that
works in a shelter. That was

467
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,559
like, yeah, Bombas pulled up
tons of socks. Yeah, so that's

468
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:23,599
really really cool. So go to

Also, do you want to relax this

472
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,119
holiday season? Are you getting stressed
out? Are you feeling like the tension?

473
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,840
Well, maybe micro dosing TCHC is
just the thing that you need.

474
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:58,199
You have micro John has microdosed THCHC. Yeah, well I hadn't until they

475
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,320
sent me some and so I tried
it and I really enjoy it. After

476
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,639
like a really long hard day's work, I've said it before, I'll go

477
00:35:06,679 --> 00:35:09,079
and I'll do my pawn work.
You know. I leave at six thirty

478
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:14,599
seven am. I don't get back
until seven eight pm, shower, lay

479
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:16,280
in bed, and then have a
little micro dose and watch my shows and

480
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,480
it just is so relaxing and it
makes me feel so much better after all

481
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,960
that day's hard work. I love
the fact that there's an option for people

482
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,800
that aren't regular t HC users and
don't know how it's going to affect them

483
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,360
and don't want to be high.
This is just enough to take the edge

484
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:36,079
off. Yeah, make you feel
good. You can still totally function on

485
00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:40,559
it. People microdos to go to
the gym, to just hang out,

486
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:45,119
like you said, at the end
of the day, to sex. Yeah,

487
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,599
better on a little micro dose.
And even if you do like a

488
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:52,559
little high, then they have you
know, it's you know, a little

489
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:57,000
bigger version. You know, it's
not like you know, you hear about

490
00:35:57,079 --> 00:35:59,239
some of these days that are too
crazy. No, it's just a little

491
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,320
bit and it gets you just a
little high, and yeah, it's nice.

492
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,679

498
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:42,199
and it was it was just like, all in all, a fun thing.

499
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,360
I do love and look forward to
seeing my kids, you know,

500
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:51,239
perform. Sure it's so different now
because I used to just love the basketball

501
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:58,119
and watching my kids play basketball and
just watching like how hard they worked.

502
00:36:58,159 --> 00:37:01,599
I mean, Sadie took her basset
foketball like real, seriously, they all

503
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:06,320
my kids did. And I don't
know, I really really loved the basketball,

504
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,119
and I was really sad when they
quit, Like there's something really fun

505
00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:15,039
about just seeing your kids like score
a goal or you know, make a

506
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:19,719
shoot a basket or I mean,
I still think it was one of the

507
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,320
high points of my life when Albie
scored her first like three point basket because

508
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,039
she was always so little, yeah, so just and she worked so hard.

509
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,159
But she was never amazing at basketball. She just was you know what

510
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:36,760
I mean, she just wasn't she
was. She was a hard, hard,

511
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,599
hard worker. And but just so
when those moments when you're like,

512
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:45,440
oh my god, she scored three
points and I'm freaking out and screaming,

513
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:49,960
and you know I would, it's
like a little high you get. I

514
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,360
don't know if I ever talked about
the end of Isla's soccer season, No,

515
00:37:53,639 --> 00:38:00,400
the thing so she started out real
strong, like doing some and you

516
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,440
know, she loved practice. Practice
was a lot of fun. And during

517
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,159
the games, I think the first
game she scored one goal and that was

518
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,280
awesome. Second game she scored two
goals. Third games she scored like three

519
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,400
goals. Like she was kicking ass. Yeah, I know, it was

520
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,239
a lot of fun. And then
I don't know what happened, but something

521
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:22,719
kind of came over her where I
think she realized, like, oh,

522
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:29,199
I don't need to like really like
get the ball and kick the ball and

523
00:38:29,559 --> 00:38:31,480
try and score it in the goal. I can just kind of follow the

524
00:38:31,519 --> 00:38:36,239
group of kids running around as long
as I run with them, and it

525
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,039
seems like I'm doing something. So
she kind of stopped trying, but she

526
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:44,159
continued to just run around because she
was like, Okay, this will work.

527
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,760
And so then I was constantly getting
more and more frustrated. And on

528
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,760
top of that, her entire team. There was one other girl who was

529
00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:57,800
very good and very into it,
and she would play like with Aila,

530
00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:01,440
and all the other girls like just
did not want to be there. They

531
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,400
were, you know, just holding
hands and skipping around on the defense,

532
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,559
you know, sitting down, running
over to their parents. And as the

533
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:14,880
season progressed, I felt myself getting
more and more frustrated, and I'd go

534
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,199
to these games, like trying to
get her motivated. Oh, you gotta

535
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,880
get the ball, and then I'd
have to like I'd get heated. I'd

536
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,119
have to remind myself, like they're
four year olds, don't get frustrated.

537
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:30,039
You need to calm down. I
couldn't help it. I'd get there and

538
00:39:30,079 --> 00:39:31,480
she come up, get the ball. You have to get the ball,

539
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:34,440
don't just run around. Get the
ball. She goes okay, okay,

540
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,159
and then she would just run around
somewhere, and I was like, I

541
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:38,760
can't even go to these games because
I just get frustrated on the way home

542
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,679
and I have to like calm myself
down or remind myself that their fort they

543
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:46,079
don't even keep score. Yeah,
I know. That's the painful thing when

544
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:49,639
they're that young. They don't keep
scoring, and you're like, well,

545
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,719
how am I gonna do? We
got to account for these people, like

546
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,400
we got to figure out who's the
weak link, and towards the end,

547
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,360
they're like some cuts. I'm kind
of glad they didn't keep scoring because I's

548
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,639
team was just getting killed every single
week. If they had kept scored,

549
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,880
been like thirty to one, yeah, forty to one. The other teams

550
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:09,880
would just score goal after goal after
goal, and I and they were all

551
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,719
the same age. Yeah, that's
so funny. Were the other parents What

552
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:22,559
were the other parents doing? They
were cheering, They were cheering and relaxing

553
00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:27,559
and there was they seemed into it. I guess the other team's parents were

554
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:30,800
always more into it than our team. Of course. Uh even like I

555
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,960
saw one team, like the dad
had them all set up and he was

556
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,880
teaching them like proper like formations and
soccer rules, and I was like,

557
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:43,000
is that what our teams should be
doing? Are we supposed to be doing

558
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,800
that? Because we don't look like
that at all, And yeah, he

559
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,880
had them disciplined and yeah, needless
to say, they kicked our ass.

560
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,320
But I was like, I think, I think that's how it's supposed to

561
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,199
look with our team. You know, two of the girls are just running

562
00:40:54,199 --> 00:40:58,960
over to another field while it's all
happening. I have been so. I

563
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:04,079
live right by Bulbo Park and h
I'm sure you've been there. They have

564
00:41:04,119 --> 00:41:08,719
the battle tennis courts there, Yes, they do, so, I'm always

565
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:14,199
in the morning there are there are
like well on the weekends there are these

566
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:19,599
coaches out with these little kids,
doing little soccer clinics with the little little

567
00:41:19,599 --> 00:41:22,519
ones, and it is always very
jarring to see some of the coaches are

568
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:28,760
like, mean, you know,
it's like watching little Russian kids with their

569
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,039
Russian coach, you know, berating
them at like four or five years old,

570
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:37,199
like you know, straight legs,
point your toes. Well, I

571
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,119
mean, these coaches kind of yell
at these kids, and I always think

572
00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:43,559
like, well, I don't is
that like is that what you're supposed to

573
00:41:43,639 --> 00:41:46,760
do? Are they supposed to be
getting? I mean, I don't want

574
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,679
to say like abusive. I'm not
like calling like CPS or anything, but

575
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:54,119
but like you know, like kind
of harsh. But then I'm like,

576
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:57,760
well, maybe these kids are going
to be good soccer players. Yeah,

577
00:41:59,039 --> 00:42:01,679
I don't know. Go in there
kind of made me want to play soccer.

578
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,880
I you know, I watch a
couple of sports. I watch football,

579
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,920
I watch basketball when I can't,
I do not watch soccer. I

580
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,400
mean, I think it's just the
most boring and I'm so boring. And

581
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,079
I'm half English too, Like every
time I go over to England, all

582
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:15,960
my family they all love soccer.
It's all soccer soccer all the time over

583
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,800
there, I like, I can't. Every year or every four years,

584
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,280
when the World Cup comes around,
I go, I should watch the World

585
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,679
Cup. I should get into it. So this past when that happened,

586
00:42:23,679 --> 00:42:28,000
I go, I'm gonna watch a
World Cup game. I'm gonna get into

587
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,880
soccer. I watch it, no
bullshit, ninety five minutes goes by,

588
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,880
not a goal is scored, and
I go, fuck this. I I

589
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,559
am not doing it, but watching
is love play. Go you know what,

590
00:42:38,639 --> 00:42:42,679
it seems like it would be kind
of fun to play against four year

591
00:42:42,679 --> 00:42:47,800
old Against four year olds, You're
like, I would do so well.

592
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,159
I'm like, you know what,
I kind of want to find some like

593
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:52,840
pick up soccer game and go play. But I don't know how you do

594
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,960
that after twenty years of no I
used to play all the time when I

595
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,920
was younger, but after twenty years
of not playing, I just go to

596
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:05,920
the like, you know what Julie's
husband plays. I feel like grown grown

597
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,440
ups. Yeah I could, Like, I'll check it out for you.

598
00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:10,559
Yeah, okay, I'll find out. Yeah, they're really into soccer.

599
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:13,880
Yeah, I think it'd be fun
to play, not fun to watch,

600
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:15,960
but yeah. After that, I
was I've been thinking, yeah, I

601
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,679
could get into that. I used
to have a thing. Well, so,

602
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,960
when I was really young, I
was a gymnast. But I and

603
00:43:23,039 --> 00:43:25,880
John always makes fun of me because
I'm always like I was on the pre

604
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,960
pre Olympic team, which was technically
true, but I was not good at

605
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,559
all, right, But but I
could like barely do a backhandspring. But

606
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,480
I was really into it. I
really really liked it, And I've just

607
00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:40,559
carried that in my mind. I
was much better at it than I know

608
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,880
that I know realistically I was,
uh, but and I only did it

609
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,639
for I think like fourth, fifth
and sixth grade. But I trained a

610
00:43:50,639 --> 00:43:53,440
lot, and I was at a
real it was called La School of Gymnastics,

611
00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:58,119
and there was an Olympic coach.
They did train kids for the Olympics

612
00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:04,000
there, but I was nowhere,
like right anyway, I always thought like

613
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:06,880
when I got much older, I
was always like I would love to do

614
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:09,880
like I get still to gymnastics,
like oh my god, And I'm always

615
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,639
like, I want to do like
go to an adult gymnastics place. Ye.

616
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:20,880
So I my best friend at the
time in sixth grade did gymnastics in

617
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,039
college and now she's a diver.
So she's my exact age, in her

618
00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:31,440
fifties, still really good at anyway. So she posted this thing on Facebook

619
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,639
a while ago, and she was
like, Hey, you know, I'm

620
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:38,639
doing this adult gymnastics thing and it's
like reminding me of like how much I

621
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:42,519
loved it, And of course my
first thought was like, oh my god,

622
00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:45,920
I want in on that, you
know. And then and then I

623
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,199
went over to she had some videos
of what they were doing, and I'm

624
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:55,000
like, when she says adult gymnastics, she means like ex like professional gymnasts,

625
00:44:55,360 --> 00:45:00,159
and also like people in their twenties. That's what they mean by adults,

626
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:02,840
Like they don't mean me. And
I was watching these people, I'm

627
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,519
like, oh god, I can't
even do a backbend. I can't even

628
00:45:06,599 --> 00:45:09,679
do Like the other day, I
just decided to try if you lay on

629
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:15,599
the floor and put your hands like
behind your head and try to archer back

630
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:17,239
up. Couldn't even do that.
I was like, so, I think

631
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:22,119
that would be a shit show if
I tried to go join an adult gymnastics

632
00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:25,199
class, and I so I messaged
my friend and I was like, by

633
00:45:25,199 --> 00:45:28,960
the way, I thought about it
for a few minutes, and I realized

634
00:45:29,039 --> 00:45:31,639
I can't even do like a bridge
and uh and she was like, yeah,

635
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,480
it's it's a little intense, yeah, even for adults. Yeah,

636
00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:37,559
well, you know, I watched
guys playing soccer in the park. I

637
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:39,480
go, I could do that.
I could kick the ball around. Let

638
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,920
should be fine. And then when
I actually do go to try it,

639
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,719
I'm probably it's probably not going to
work out that way. But uh yeah,

640
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,840
now I finally got back into working
out, so now I actually feel

641
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,119
like a little athletic, like I
could do something else. Yeah, so

642
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,960
yeah, that's kind of my next
goal. I know, I'm soccer game

643
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,159
at the park. Yeah, I'm
sure that's the thing. I'm sure you

644
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:05,559
could find some guys to just like
play some soccer. I'm trying to think

645
00:46:05,599 --> 00:46:07,800
where you would like, where you
would look, because you wouldn't look.

646
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:13,159
We live. We live like right
on a park, like a big park,

647
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,679
and even at the park, they
have like full size nets there,

648
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:20,320
so I see people playing every weekend. I just don't know how it's like

649
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,159
organized, how you get in there, right, it'd be awkward if you

650
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:30,480
like walk up if it's like a
team and like no, dude, you're

651
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:32,599
like, oh, this doesn't work
like that. Okay, next next,

652
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,679
like, I'll just be here if
you guys need a guy, and they're

653
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:43,079
like, no, me, don't, sub you start yelling for yourself.

654
00:46:43,679 --> 00:46:46,559
Amy comes down, She's like,
sub put my put my boyfriend in me.

655
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:53,079
I'm ready. Yeah, I I
if I was playing, if I

656
00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:59,119
was on like Isla's team. It
reminds me of like when I would do

657
00:46:59,199 --> 00:47:02,159
temp work and just try to look
busy, like I'm not actually doing anything,

658
00:47:02,199 --> 00:47:06,119
but I'm like running back and forth
to the copier, and I'm sure

659
00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:08,599
it was really frustrating to people because
they're like, she's not doing any actual

660
00:47:08,639 --> 00:47:14,239
work. Oh, Mike, I'm
here, guys, make my hourly,

661
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,599
looking busy. I'm holding the file. Yeah, pretty important stuff I'm doing

662
00:47:17,639 --> 00:47:22,159
over here, just literally like looking
like I'm in a hurry at all times.

663
00:47:22,159 --> 00:47:23,719
So when anybody's like, hey,
can you get the phone, can't

664
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,800
do it, can't get the phone. I got a thing I'm doing.

665
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,480
Yeah, that's the ala that's just
running around looking like you're doing something exactly.

666
00:47:32,519 --> 00:47:37,559
She would run around and then inevitably
the ball would just fall to her

667
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:40,199
feet and then she just stand there
and like look at it, and I'm

668
00:47:40,199 --> 00:47:44,639
screaming cat. She just look at
it and just wait for someone else to

669
00:47:44,639 --> 00:47:47,480
come by and get it. At
least she didn't feel like embarrassed by that.

670
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:53,519
Because also when I was young and
we would play anytime there were any

671
00:47:53,559 --> 00:47:59,400
sports like softball. I was not
athletic. I know, I just finished

672
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,960
saying, I did you ynastics,
But as I also said, I wasn't

673
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:06,800
good at it. But team sports
made me so anxious. I was one

674
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,880
hundred percent the last person picked for
any teams. Nobody, nobody, and

675
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,400
I mean nobody wanted me on their
team. I mean it was it was

676
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,960
sad. But if I was when
you know, you have to go on

677
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,400
somebody's team, and they'd all be
annoyed, like, ah, Stephanie's on

678
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,360
our team. And if we played
softball, they would stick me deep in

679
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:30,119
right field, you know, thankfully, because I was like, my worst

680
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,880
nightmare was a ball coming to me
and I wouldn't know what to do with

681
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:38,719
it. And every once in a
while I have a painful memory of a

682
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:44,199
ball coming to me and then you
see all the faces just looking like,

683
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,719
oh fuck this, you know,
and rightfully so, because the you know,

684
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,239
if the ball would I mean I
would kind of put my mit up,

685
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:55,039
but I'm never going to catch a
ball, and I never did.

686
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,679
There's no there's no redemption story in
this. It was all just like,

687
00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:02,719
oh God, why is the ball
coming to me? And then I would

688
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:07,679
just watch it fall put my mit
up and I would inevitably miss it,

689
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,840
and everybody would go, ah,
that's where they stuck me. When I

690
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,039
played baseball, and I hated baseball. It was the worst because I always

691
00:49:16,119 --> 00:49:19,519
I never wanted to get hit with
the ball. I was always at bat

692
00:49:19,519 --> 00:49:21,719
and I was always scared of getting
hit with the ball. So they just

693
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,480
stuck me in left field and I
would just stand there and you know,

694
00:49:23,519 --> 00:49:27,280
like crush fi, Oh yeah,
what do I mean left field? Whatever?

695
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,960
Would the ball doesn't come? I
think I was at well, I'm

696
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,920
left handed, so they might have
put me over there because whatever. They

697
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,159
put me over there, and I
was always yeah, So at bat,

698
00:49:37,199 --> 00:49:39,280
I would always be afraid of the
ball and so I'd hate that and then

699
00:49:39,519 --> 00:49:42,480
when I was out in the field, I would just stand there out in

700
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:45,280
left field and not do anything.
There was one time a ball was hit

701
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:52,519
to me and I made this great
play like a running diving catch role and

702
00:49:52,599 --> 00:49:54,840
I looked and I catch it my
mitt and I roll on the ground and

703
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,960
I look up and you just see
the ball kind of fall out of my

704
00:49:59,079 --> 00:50:05,480
mit and uh. And then they
still called it like a catch. Oh.

705
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,199
But then all the kids were like
mad at me because that wasn't a

706
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,639
catch. You dropped it, but
they still called it. So there it

707
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,239
was like a cheat or something.
And it was the one great play I

708
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,760
made in baseball, and I fucked
it up. Oh my god. Whenever

709
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:22,559
I watch football, I get so
tense for like the players, because I

710
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:24,880
always think, especially like the kicker, you know, when they are gonna

711
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,800
have to kick a field goal.
Yeah, And I'm always like, what

712
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,400
an awful feeling that must be.
I've asked John about it. I'm like,

713
00:50:32,559 --> 00:50:37,239
you know, do they just feel
just like crushing pressure of like having

714
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,719
to kick the ball and not only
is there, are they going to let

715
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:45,519
down their team? Especially when it's
like if they make it, they'll win

716
00:50:45,559 --> 00:50:47,119
the game, and if they miss
it, you know, like an important

717
00:50:47,199 --> 00:50:52,320
kick, Like how does anybody would
stand? How does anybody function under that

718
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,920
much pressure? They get in these
like rhythms too, where you know,

719
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,920
they kick a bad field goal and
then they go on a run of just

720
00:51:00,199 --> 00:51:02,199
missing every single field goal after that, and that's when I was like,

721
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,119
oh god, it'd be so terrible
to just be in that mindset of just

722
00:51:06,119 --> 00:51:10,280
missing every single field goal. You're
kicking well. And now I'm gonna totally

723
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:17,239
butcher this these facts. But watching
UCLA play football, and they had a

724
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:22,960
quarterback that was playing and then they
replaced him because he was throwing too many

725
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,199
interceptions and he was a sought after
right freshman that they had brought in.

726
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,239
He was going to be like they're
they're winning quarterback. And then they pull

727
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:37,559
him out right away after making after
throwing interceptions, which just feels like,

728
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,079
oh, like, you come in, there's all this expectation for you,

729
00:51:40,119 --> 00:51:45,000
then you throw some interceptions and then
you think maybe you try to convince yourself

730
00:51:45,039 --> 00:51:45,960
like it's okay, They're gonna give
me a chance, like you know,

731
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:51,599
I'm young, and then like now
they replace them with another guy who who

732
00:51:51,639 --> 00:51:54,199
they play for quite a few games. Then that guy is like fuck this

733
00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:00,920
and he goes and puts himself in
the transfer portal yeap, which John says

734
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,039
is like a crazy thing now that
they're all just going in the transfer portal,

735
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:07,239
y'all want to go to schools to
make more money. Yeah, well,

736
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,119
and they just want like playing time. Like I even just saw stat

737
00:52:10,199 --> 00:52:15,719
yesterday that like five of the last
Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks were all transfers.

738
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,639
So you know, if you're a
quarterback and you're not getting played, yeah,

739
00:52:17,639 --> 00:52:21,719
it's a transfer, I guess.
Yeah. I don't follow college football

740
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,800
that, Yeah, I mean I
don't really. I mean I you know,

741
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,960
I get my little like I'm really
into it and then I forget about

742
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,440

Anyway, all right, well this was

743
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:37,679

missed urlan Net. But before we go,

744
00:52:37,039 --> 00:52:40,599
uh, let's remind everybody about the
Family Skeptical, which I think is

745
00:52:40,639 --> 00:52:45,599
apropos to some topics on our show
today raising kids without religion. You know,

746
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,159
so if you if you're a non
believer like us, you are people,

747
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,760
and you're there people, and they
drop an episode ones every three weeks,

748
00:52:53,079 --> 00:52:59,000
so it won't really cut into your
fcol time. And they're anonymous,

749
00:52:59,199 --> 00:53:02,239
So just go check out Family Skeptical. Also go to will Mean Freda.
