00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.320
Why is it that every kid going
to school, in especially high school,

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.119
they're nervous and intimidated that they're going
to number one, get lost, You're

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.919
gonna get beat up, some bigger
kid is going to steal your lunch money.

4
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.919
That was more of a middle school
junior high thing. Yeah, the

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.399
seventh grade middle school was junior high. For me, they called a junior

6
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.920
high. So it was seventh,
eighth, and ninth grade, and the

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.960
seventh graders what they call them scrubs. I don't know why they call them

8
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.440
scrubs that, oh, you're a
scrub, You're a scrub. I was

9
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.719
so nervous that the bigger kids were
going because you know, like there's a

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.079
big difference between a seventh grade kid
who is tiny and their voice hasn't changed

11
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.960
and a ninth grade kid who has
started to develop facial hair or you know,

12
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:44.039
like started to develop their bodies develop
or whatever. And we were really

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.479
I was really worried that the older
kids were going to bully and make my

14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.200
life miserable as a seventh grader.
They didn't. There was just as many

15
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.439
miserable seventh grade assholes as there were
ninth grade. I never had a problem

16
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.799
in middle school. Yeah, we
didn't either, but we were in a

17
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.640
weird phase because we transitioned to a
bigger high school. So middle school changed

18
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:08.560
from seventh to ninth like yours did, and then it became sixth to eighth,

19
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.359
and so I was in this weird
transition of where like we went from

20
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.959
fifth grade to then middle school instead
of doing sixth grade elementary, okay,

21
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:19.519
And so that was like a huge
change for us because I was like,

22
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.319
I'm not old enough to be in
middle school yet, like I'm too young.

23
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.040
I should be still going to the
elementary school. So that was like

24
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.200
the big intimidating factor for us.
But yeah, I do remember having a

25
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.359
fear of like everyone's going to be
so tall and so big and whatever.

26
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.079
And I don't know, I grew
probably decently early. Like my height,

27
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.040
I'm an average height, but I
wasn't that short getting into high school,

28
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:48.519
you know. I remember one really
weird incident in probably seventh grade or eighth

29
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.719
grade gym, And this is going
to sound weird, but I don't care.

30
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:56.439
I'll risk it. So we're supposed
to take showers after gym class,

31
00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.480
and I don't even think they do
that anymore. I don't think so.

32
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.840
I think at least when I was
in high school, it was an option,

33
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.959
like you could take one if you
want it, but they did not

34
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:10.199
make you, okay, because when
I was in junior high it was basically

35
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.759
required because you were going to go
get under jim clothes, go play volleyball

36
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.840
and floor hockey and whatever, and
they didn't want you to go back to

37
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.000
school and stink the rest of the
day, so you were supposed to take

38
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.120
a shower. I never did.
I don't remember how I got out of

39
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.199
it. I always because I did
not want to be naked in front of

40
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.159
the other boys. I didn't want
to be because you know, you're worried

41
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.479
about your body and his my body, like his body and whatever. I

42
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.039
remember one time, probably in the
first couple of days of school, this

43
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.840
kid who was like a good acquaintance
of mine, but he was definitely more

44
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:49.000
mature. He gets out of the
shower and he's got full on pubic hair

45
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.960
yea, and the rest of us
apparently did not. I know I did

46
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.439
not. So he gets out and
he's got like hair under his arms,

47
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:00.719
full on pubic hair, standing there
naked and looked like an adult. And

48
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:06.919
I remember looking another friend of mine
named Chris, and Chris's face could not

49
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.879
comprehend what he was seeing. I
had seen my older brother naked, so

50
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.960
I knew what a naked guy looked
like. Chris was a ghast at this

51
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.319
kid that we knew seventh or eighth
grade with a young man's body, and

52
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.000
it blew him away and it was
like, WHOA. I still remember that.

53
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.759
I mean we definitely once again.
I don't think in middle school we

54
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.759
had to take showers, but that
was definitely when everyone was developing. And

55
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:36.319
I do remember playing sports with girls, so we were always changing in front

56
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.599
of each other. And I just
remember this girl, Courtney, was like

57
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.360
very big chested, super early,
and she was so skinny and tiny,

58
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.280
and then she had these big boobs, and I was like, how did

59
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.479
that even happen? Like how did
that? It feels like it happened overnight

60
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.840
for her, And so I remember
like not coming into my body more until

61
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.360
high school. So like it was
weird seeing those people in middle school and

62
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.560
then a lot of people didn't develop
as much until high school. I think

63
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.120
it's really true because at that age, you know, everybody develops. That

64
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.879
some girls get boobs in I don't
know what, sixth grade. Maybe some

65
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:15.039
girls get boobs in ninth grade.
Some boys voices change early, some boys

66
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.319
still have a little kid voice in
tenth grade. I remember my voice was

67
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:24.839
changing. I think the beginning of
tenth grade. I think because I remember

68
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.920
the first day of band they were
taking roll call. It's like okay,

69
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.920
David here, and my voice cracked
and my friend looked at me and laughed,

70
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.000
and I think some other kids turned
around and looked at me and laughed

71
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.800
too, but not like openly like
ha, just more like, oh,

72
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.199
that's embarrassing. Yeah, because it
does suck when you're in school and everybody's

73
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:47.240
changed. By the time you get
to high school, you're like, in

74
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.319
a tenth or eleventh grade, you've
pretty much developed, you know what I

75
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.959
mean. There's not a lot of
kids that are like in eleventh grade that

76
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.160
their voice hasn't changed, or they
haven't gotten boobs or whatever, so it

77
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.160
all kind of equalizes. We were
talking about this earlier, the first day

78
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:06.160
of school when you wore new clothes. Yeah, and we weren't poor.

79
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.720
We talked about like not having a
lot of money, but we weren't poor.

80
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.319
We would go down to kmart or
Sears or whatever and buy back to

81
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.439
school clothes. But I remember wearing
those clothes. I had this shirt.

82
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.959
It was like a T shirt made
out of like nylon or some weird fabric

83
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.480
that had a picture of a guy
in a parachute on the front. Why

84
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.800
that was made into a shirt,
I have no idea, but it was

85
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.720
my yearbook picture in eighth grade.
And I can still smell the way that

86
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.720
shirt smelled. And I was so
proud of that shirt. And when I

87
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.279
came home from school, I took
that shirt off because if I was going

88
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.800
to go clean out the chicken houses, I was not going to clean about

89
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.600
the chicken houses in that shirt.
And then I'd like put it away and

90
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.079
then I don't remember, but I
would not wear it except to school.

91
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.639
Yeah, and that was it,
And that was really it. Did you

92
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.879
have like a special outfit that you
wore, Not really, because we did

93
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.920
have a lot of clothes. Like
I always stole my older sister's clothes.

94
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:10.639
So I had probably five shirts from
Hollister. I rotated and stuff. Yeah

95
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.240
it was Hollister, maybe something from
Abercrombie here and there. But I always,

96
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.959
I don't know, I would steal
my older sister's shirts quite often without

97
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:23.839
her seeing I'd like change before like
I would see her, because I mean

98
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.639
we did have one year where we
weren't in the school together because she was

99
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.480
in high school I was in middle
school. So I would like change into

100
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.360
the clothes as I was leaving and
she had already left for high school,

101
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:34.279
and then change before she got home. So I felt like I had like

102
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.199
more clothes than I did, but
I didn't, so I always was wearing

103
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.240
everything I had. Let's talk about
school lunches. Did you buy your hot

104
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.720
lunch or did you bring a sack
lunch. We did sack lunches because I

105
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.199
Flon would say that it was like
you were rich if you had a sack

106
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.879
lunch, But that was not how
it was in my school. You were

107
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.079
rich if you could like get the
hot lunches. But I know that there

108
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.519
was like financial assistance for people with
hot lunches too, So I always had

109
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:08.279
a bag lunch. I never got
un once like a quarter. Maybe that

110
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:14.279
was it, Okay, I there's
another thing. When did you stop carrying

111
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.959
a lunchbox to school? Did you
have a lunchbox when you were little?

112
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.680
What was it and what year did
you stop carrying to lunch box to school.

113
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.759
Oh. I don't remember exactly what
was on it, but it was

114
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.720
pink, and I want to say
I probably did it through elementary and then

115
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.040
middle school I started doing the paper
bag lunches. Yeah, that sounds right.

116
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.759
In elementary I had a Harlem I
had a Harlem Globe Trotters lunch box,

117
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.720
and I think I had a Scooby
Doo lunch box. My brother had

118
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.759
a Star Trek lunchbox. But you
carry them to school until maybe fifth or

119
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.160
sixth grade. Then you notice your
friends don't. And then if you carry

120
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.920
it to school middle school, you
look around on day one and go,

121
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.120
oh my god, I can't bring
a lunch box because nobody is carrying a

122
00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:01.680
lunch box anymore. Yeah. I
also in elementary school you had if you

123
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.639
had hot lunch, you had no
choice. It was whatever's on the menu,

124
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.800
and they put on the little compartments
like you got your spaghetti over here,

125
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.839
and your green beans over here,
and your apple sauce over here,

126
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.040
and your milk over here. But
in junior high, oh, Jenny,

127
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.040
it was glorious. It was al
cart and you would get pizza, cheeseburger,

128
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.240
chicken, sandwich, potato, chips, zingers, all kinds of crap

129
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.360
garbage food if you had the money
for it, and it was your choice

130
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.320
of what to get. I remember
in middle school there was like the regular

131
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.840
hot lunch line, and then you
could go to the left and there was

132
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.600
like things you could pay with like
actual cash money, and they had curly

133
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.240
fries in that line. So every
once in a while I would go splurge

134
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.960
and get myself some curly fries because
they were so good. That was that

135
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.799
was it for me. I remember
our pizza air Academy Junior high school was

136
00:08:52.840 --> 00:09:00.519
actually pretty I mean really good for
school pizza. But I was just even

137
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.639
then surprised that they sold junk at
school because they did have They had,

138
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.480
like I don't know, zingers and
ho hoes and cupcakes and things like that.

139
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.519
I think, if I remember right
when Alison went to Chascop High School,

140
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.759
I think they had a Burger King
or a taco bell inside the school

141
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.159
cafeteria. I think. But and
you'll have to answer this one, if

142
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.639
you know. I think they got
rid of all those because people didn't like

143
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.600
the fact that their kids were eating
fast food for lunch. So they're like,

144
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.320
oh, I'll give them shalots.
Make sure they have shallots and plenty

145
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.840
of chicken and broccoli. So I
think, let me know, send me

146
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.519
an email and let me know.
Do they still have fast food in school

147
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.840
cafeterias and if not, when did
they take it out? Yeah, we

148
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:46.480
didn't. We didn't have that growing
up. But I'm trying to think if

149
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.279
our high school had anything similar,
Like, was it actually it was an

150
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.120
actual like employees were making whoppers and
stuff like a burger king or I think

151
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.360
so? I mean interesting, I
really think so. I mean I was

152
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.399
never there, but I know that
they had like garbage, not garbage that

153
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.759
is not garbage is delicious, but
you know what I mean, food is

154
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.399
surprising. Do they have pop machines
in schools anymore? Because when I was

155
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.840
a kid, they had pop machines
into schools and you can get like a

156
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.519
root beer or doctor pepper or pepsi
or coke or whatever. I don't think

157
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.200
they have pop machines or soda machines
in schools anymore, do they? I

158
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.320
don't know. They answer to that. They did when I was in high

159
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.159
school still, but I don't know
if they do anymore because that I think

160
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:33.919
health and like your view on food
has changed drastically since I was even in

161
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.399
high school, so I wouldn't be
surprised if they don't have it anymore.

162
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.080
You know what's interesting. Not sound
like the old guy in the room,

163
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.440
but I am. But there was
not as many I think obese kids when

164
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.679
we when I was a kid,
and I think the reason is because screen

165
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.000
time. Because kids now, again
this is something I don't want to sound

166
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.159
like I'm the old guy complaining and
I'm not, but kids don't go out

167
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.399
and exercise as much. Because back
when we were kids, you could watch

168
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.960
TV, but then your mama would
come by and say, turn that goddamn

169
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.639
TV off and get outside and get
some exercise. Well, now you're on

170
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.039
your screen and you're not out getting
the exercise, so you're not working off

171
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:15.480
the Doctor Pepper and the curly fries
exactly. I felt like when Andrew and

172
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.320
I went up to this cabin this
weekend, I told myself not to spend

173
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.559
a whole ton of time on social
media because I was like, this is

174
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.799
like I need to go back to
my childhood where I was literally outside all

175
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.960
day every day until the street lights
came on and then I had to come

176
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.480
inside. I mean obviously different in
the winter, but I just wanted to

177
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.679
get back to that, like not
relying on quick dopamine hits from social media,

178
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.559
like I have a beauty, were
on a lake in a cabin having

179
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.960
a great time, and I shouldn't
be going to social media to have fun.

180
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.080
And I think I did a pretty
good job. I posted like a

181
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.120
couple of things here and there,
but for the most part it was just

182
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.480
like one quick reel I put together
that I did and then like a few

183
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.720
stories and stuff. But I tried
so hard to not like consume it,

184
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.320
Like I posted some stuff on my
own, but I didn't sit and scroll

185
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.440
and consume. I didn't open TikTok
once this weekend. Good nothing. I'm

186
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.919
looking at my screen time. Pull
up in your screen time on your phone.

187
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.159
God, here we go, as
you're listening to the show. Pull

188
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.200
up in screen time on your show
on your phone. My daily average for

189
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:26.240
last week was shocking six hours and
thirty nine minutes a day. I don't

190
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.360
believe that. I don't think it's
possible, but that's what it says,

191
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.320
six hours and thirty nine minutes a
day. I don't know if that counts

192
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.799
like having open iHeartRadio or what.
I really don't know, but I can't

193
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.279
imagine I was doing six hours every
day. God, I mean, I'm

194
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.440
not far off at six I'm higher
than you. I'm at six fifty nine.

195
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.000
But I'm trying to figure out what
it is. Because here's my thing.

196
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.519
I don't watch TV very much,
so I think my consumption of stuff

197
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.559
does come mostly from social media when
I'm looking at a screen. I really

198
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.240
I go a week without ever turning
a TV on. That's like how it

199
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.720
is in our house. So I'm
not trying to defend myself because I just

200
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.519
don't understand why it's so high.
If it's because I work out every day

201
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:15.480
and you Spotify and on the iHeartRadio
app and stuff like that, but I

202
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.519
don't know why it's so high.
Yeah, and I don't even know either,

203
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.519
because it used to be, like
a year ago, my screen time

204
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.759
i'd look at it be like three
hours and thirty minutes a week. I

205
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:28.840
will say that I am on Instagram
scrolling and on Facebook scrolling a lot more,

206
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.879
watching reels and watching little things on
my phone than I used to.

207
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.360
But six hours plus that's crazy.
Okay, what about you? What do

208
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.679
you remember about your first day of
school. What do you remember? Do

209
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.279
they have pop machines in your kids
school or your school? Did they have

210
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.919
a taco bell in your high school? What did you bring sack lunches?

211
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.120
What year did you stop bringing a
lunch box? What lunch did you have?

212
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.320
Got all kinds of things we can
talk about, and then what about

213
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.440
your screen time? What is your
screen time? Saying I'd love to hear

214
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.720
from you. Send emails to Ryan
Show at KDWBT dot com. We missed

215
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.720
the Minnesota Goodbye last week because Jenny
was gone and Drake and I were like,

216
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.360
we got so much to do,
we didn't get to do it on

217
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.759
Friday. But we're back and we'd
love to hear from you. Send an

218
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.440
email to Ryan Show at KADWB dot
com about any of those things or anything

219
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:20.840
else that you want to talk about
