all disorganized. I'm like the defense attorney.

3
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.000
You're like doctor Bruce and my papers
everywhere. I know I missed doctor

4
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:37.320
Bruce. Am I a perfect podcast
host? No? Anybody? Is anybody?

5
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.560
Do? I sometimes just say racist
things and call my daughter a psycho?

6
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.200
Yeah? I mean, but who
doesn't Who doesn't? Right? Uh?

7
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:54.439
Wait? Not no? No,
wonder she lost? That's crazy.

8
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.320
Guys, In case you didn't know, a peek behind the curtain. You

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.280

10
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.920
Tuesday's episode. From Tuesday Late Afternoons
episode, that was fun. Hi,

11
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.319
how's it going good? Yeah,
how's your daughter? She's good. We

12
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.200
went to go take her to like
her check up yesterday and she did very

13
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.000
well. She wasn't loobbily and everything
checked out and she was good. The

14
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.319
doctor's like, yeah, she should
be just fine because I told that story

15
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.200
to my sister in law and she
was free. She's like, I can't,

16
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.040
I don't want to hear it scared
her because we have granddaughter like the

17
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.560
same, she has a granddaughter not
me, but yeah, around the same

18
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:41.079
age, and that's what's freaky scary. Yeah, it's luckily, it's all

19
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.760
good. Now, good, she's
back to normal. And yeah, okay,

Aaron's a dirty Sanchez. Come on
now, come on, now, come

52
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:30.639
on now. So last weekend,
okay, a lot of people have pointed

53
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.040
out that even though I say I'm
not a go getter, I can be

54
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.959
a go getter. But I just
want you to know that it is under

55
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.040
duress. I don't. I'm like
an accidental go getter, you know what

56
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.360
I mean, default go getter.
And yeah, I don't set out to

57
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.759
go get anything. I set out
to like chill and I set out to

58
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.879
just listen to podcasts. But what
ends up happening is like I I go,

59
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.240
okay, like I'll do that thing, whatever it is. Well,

60
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.560
you know what this is how I
get myself in trouble. I argue about

61
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:09.480
stuff that's like like this staff breakfast
about school. I find myself going,

62
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.839
well, I don't know why i'd
be responsible for the whole staff breakfast.

63
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.600
It's too expensive and I don't want
to do all that work, and then

64
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.079
they go I say, hey,
let's just kind of spread it out on

65
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.079
everybody. And then I get the
person who's in charge of everything going well,

66
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.279
I don't have the bandwidth. Why
don't you deal with it? And

67
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:31.240
then I go all right, and
then I curse myself and my life and

68
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.519
I complain about it here and I
go, why am I in charge of

69
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.360
this whole staff breakfast all the time? See that's what happens when you complain.

70
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.560
Yeah, and then ideal as I've
said that, I've talked about this

71
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.519
on Patreon, but then I deal
with a bunch of no getters who are

72
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.399
like, oh did I sign up
to help bring something to the to the

73
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.399
breakfast? I forgot? And then
you're like, uh, I'm sorry,

74
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.879
miss, is no bandwidth? And
now I see what you're talking about,

75
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.439
ass And then I yeah, exactly. So so I had a double whammy

76
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:06.120
last weekend. So well this weekend
that just passed, time has slowed to

77
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:13.399
it's like at a standstill. Yeah. So Friday was the staff breakfast and

78
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.680
this thing, by the way,
this thing comes at you faster than like

79
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.079
You're like, I just did the
breakfast, how is it already the first

80
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.399
Friday of the month again. Now
time sped up, well, it's sped

81
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.920
up, and this month is gonna
be worse because February only has twenty eight

82
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.439
fucking days. How dare February do
that to me? Next thing, you

83
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.360
know, it's gonna be the first
Friday in March. I need a breakfast

84
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.360
once a month, don't. Can't
they get their own breakfast? You know

85
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:42.160
what I'm gonna say. I think
the staff does deserve it. Think think

86
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.519
of the jobs that you and I
have had where you're like, I barely

87
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.839
work. Think of like temp jobs
you've had where like every Friday they bring

88
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:53.000
in bagels and you come to expect
it. You're like, yeah I should,

89
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:59.360
Yeah I'm And I answered four phone
calls today. I deserve I was

90
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:03.480
gonna say everything bagel with some reduced
fat cream cheese. Where's the lock?

91
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:11.279
I gonna say, the locks?
I see the tomatoes, but like the

92
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.839
red onions, But where's the locks? Yeah? I like a little caper

93
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:21.040
too, same same. If you're
gonna bring locks, why would he's an

94
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.839
extra two bucks for a jar?
Capers? Yes, bring caper right tight.

95
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.079
So before you know it, I'm
a spoiled bitch. It was just

96
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.680
like, wow, I thought we
had fried Oh now now you're gonna do

97
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.399
bagels every other week? No.
Yeah, So I'm like, I understand

98
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.519
these teachers. They work hard,
and also they come to work at an

99
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.120
ungodly hour. I know. I
think it's harsh to have to bring my

100
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:47.560
kids to school at eight thirty.
These teachers are there at seven thirty.

101
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.360
I'm like, okay, I can
understand once a month you want to have

102
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.240
like a nice breakfast. I did
tell you though, that I was having

103
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.240
somebody we were bringing bagels every every
month. And then they said like that's

104
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.800
a little too much carbs, which
is like, I know, you didn't

105
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.040
tell how I didn't tell you that. Yeah, they I heard they were.

106
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.160
They were saying like, oh,
we don't want like all these carbs,

107
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:16.000
so you know, like let's let's
calm down on a Mediterranean was this

108
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:24.600
below deck? Given them your fucking
orders? Like I'm allergic to whitefish,

109
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.600
but I can't like wow, yeah
yeah yeah, so they want to beach

110
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.559
barbecue too, right, Yeah,
So I'm like, all right, I'll

111
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.559
bring these assholes some like hardboiled eggs, but like it's not get crazy with

112
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.600
the requests exactly. But you know
what, all the easier because some of

113
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:46.159
the things that we bring because even
though we're spreading it around, if you

114
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.679
ask somebody to bring coffee the two
travelers of coffee from Starbucks is like fifty

115
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.919
bucks. Yeah, so you're already
at like, but imagine how much it

116
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.600
cost me when I did it myself. Basically it's like two hundred bucks.

117
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.279
You're spending to get an ice spread
for like thirty five people. Anyway,

118
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:13.600
the point is that Friday, the
day came. Now, my kids before

119
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.600
were like, we'll come early.
That's kind of fun, like we'll get

120
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.679
there early with you help you set
up. But like after a few months

121
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.639
of it, Sadie was like,
oh hell yeah. So I had to

122
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.200
ask John. I was like,
listen, I have to do the breakfast

123
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.879
Friday morning, but can you take
oh because on Fridays my kids don't have

124
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.879
to be at school until nine to
twenty. Oh nice, So I'm at

125
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.240
school at eight fifteen. And now
even though somebody, so somebody provided the

126
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.039
coffee, but they didn't want to
have to go get it, so they

127
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.759
put in the order at Starbucks and
I had to stop at Starbucks and get

128
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.360
the coffee. So here's the thing, me being a no getter is suddenly

129
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.000
like coordinating the whole thing, making
sure that everybody shows up for their shifts.

130
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.000
And then I'm supposed to also remind
the teachers. So I've got a

131
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.399
list of people I have to send
out an email and say, hey,

132
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.559
the breakfast is happening tomorrow. But
sometimes I space on that part and I

133
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.279
don't send it into like eleven PM. Oh sorry, sorry you're getting this

134
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.559
so late, but like I spaced, but like, sorry, I know

135
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.879
I've changed your breakfast order. Yeah, so anyway, Friday morning. So,

136
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.519
but don't forget And this is maybe
this was a Patreon as well,

137
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.519
but don't forget that. I also
somehow got volunteered to be the liaison for

138
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.120
our music program, right, I
might as well be like the president of

139
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.519
this school at ten. I know
you're like the like you should behead a

140
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.879
PTA or whatever. God forbid,
No, because like, not enough people

141
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.840
are helping out with these things.
Now I've got too much to do,

142
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.519
so I was not enough bandw No, I don't have bandwidth either. This

143
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.600
woman thinks she doesn't have bandwidth,
try being me. I don't have the

144
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.320
bandwidth or the willingness or the whatever, the like. I'm not a self

145
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.919
starter, you know. I want
to be like more of the follower.

146
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.480
I really should just keep my mouth
shut and stop arguing with you about how

147
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.600
they're doing things and just go,
well, I'm sure you guys have it

148
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.919
a control, right, But no, I have to go like, well,

149
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.240
what if you started spreading it out? Then I find then okay.

150
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:30.159
So anyway, I was in charge
of the music lab stuff. So when

151
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.639
I was doing the big thing where
I had to get all the raffle stuff

152
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.159
together. That happened in December,
the teacher from Speech and Debate was like,

153
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.440
hey, could you come judge a
speech and debate competition? My god,

154
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.480
and she's so nice. This teacher
is like adorable, she's fun she's

155
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:54.320
funny, she's young. Like so
I was like, I mean, and

156
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.559
you look like a prime prime for
the picking, like there's somebody that's running

157
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.759
around working hard. Right. She
zoned in on you because she made the

158
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.600
mistake of you know how they say
if you want something done, ask a

159
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.679
busy person. So she decided that
that was like a real thing. And

160
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.240
I'm like, no, but except
in the case of me. But I

161
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.279
guess, so I said, I
was like on this one, I said,

162
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.200
uh, maybe, but I'm not
really sure. And then luckily that

163
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.200
was the last speech and debate tournament. So but then I wasn't feeling that

164
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.639
great and Xander was sick. Xander
ended up not going to the speech and

165
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.200
debate competition, and I emailed her
a few days before and I was like,

166
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:37.559
I know, I said, I
might be able to do it,

167
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.120
but I'm really not feeling great,
and she was like, no problem,

168
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.440
don't worry about it. But the
best news cut to this one. The

169
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.000
next speech and debate. A month
later, I get this email from this

170
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.120
teacher and she's like, Hey,
we really really need judges for this speech

171
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.039
and debate thing. Now I'm feeling
guilty because I like blew off the last

172
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.320
one. So I'm like, I'll
do it. It is a twelve hour

173
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.440
gig. Oh my god. Yeah. So I set out you have to

174
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.879
get there, You have to get
there at eight fifteen in the morning.

175
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.200
You got to watch videos. You
have to learn how to judge a speech

176
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.799
and debate. Companies, but you
can't do that on your own. They

177
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.080
can't send you the videos. They
did, no, they did, but

178
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.159
then they sent they but right,
but you have to learn. There's a

179
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.399
whole like it's like trying to work
at McDonald's, Like you have to go

180
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.919
to like McDonald's college, like first, yeah, McDonald's university. No,

181
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.919
this is like a whole thing.
They send you like all of the different

182
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.399
categories. But here's what they don't
tell you. How do you actually judge

183
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.840
them? Like what's the rubric?
Like what are you exactly looking for?

184
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.039
It's just like here's what this category
is, right, and like yeah,

185
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.759
whatever you think, you know?
So what are some what was some of

186
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:58.600
the categories? Okay? So there's
like original oratory, which is you write

187
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.159
a speech and you perform the speech. There's also like I don't know what

188
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.480
it's called, but it's where you
read somebody else's speech, you memorize.

189
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.559
There's a lot of memorization. Hnette, you and I would hate it.

190
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.440
Yeah, it's ten minutes. You
have ten minutes to do these speeches,

191
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.320
and you have to memorize a ten
minute speech and then you have to deliver

192
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.480
it like you're Martin Luther King doing
that a dream speech, like you got

193
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:31.360
to be committed into it. There's
also original prose and poetry, right,

194
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.799
so you don't know where you're gonna
get though. There's something called storytelling,

195
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.879
which is where they recite a children's
story. They kind of like act it

196
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.919
out. Okay. There's a bunch
of like cool cowboys to okay. Okay.

197
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.759
So I get there and at first
I'm like a little resentful that I

198
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.799
signed up for this because I'm like, oh my god, this is going

199
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.279
to be twelve out Okay. Why
can't they break that shit up? They

200
00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:01.840
can't go like we need three people
to like if they somebody come from nine

201
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.919
to twelve and somebody come from twelve
to two, like why So if they

202
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.360
had gotten enough volunteers, then they
could have split it up and cheap people

203
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.360
would do half days. Right.
But here's the thing. I was.

204
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.720
I drove Xander there. Xander's in
speech and debates, so and it was

205
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.399
far. I had to drive to
Valencia for this thing. So by the

206
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.159
time you drive there, I don't
know if I'm gonna want to drive home.

207
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.159
I guess I could have done half
the day and then come home,

208
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.840
and then somebody else who was could
have done the second half and then driven

209
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.720
the kids home. Yeah, but
that's John, That's that's true. That's

210
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.639
true. Because John, he would
be good. Yeah, he would be

211
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.879
good. But he's like, wow, have a good time. He's not

212
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.200
got no sucker. Right. I'm
like, I ended up volunteering to do

213
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:54.120
this and he's like, wow,
okay, twelve, it's gonna be a

214
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.720
long day. And I'm like yeah, So I get there. I get

215
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:02.440
there at eight fifteen for the judges
training. There's a room full of judges.

216
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.960
It's all these different high schools that
are part of it. And the

217
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.879
first thing I find out is that
we're going to have to have like they're

218
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:15.360
going to talk to us about the
judging now, and it's all this information

219
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.840
like Okay, you might have to
help time it. You're going to time

220
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.080
it on your phone. But sometimes
the kids want to know, like they

221
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.320
need a warning of it's this much
time as left. And I'm like okay,

222
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:27.960
and then you're going to have to
use these hand signals like this is

223
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:33.320
the hand signal for half or whatever. I'm like, I'm like, you're

224
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.720
already law. Also they're like,
okay, hope you brought your laptop.

225
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.600
Well, the instructions that I had
just said you need an electronic device,

226
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.399
So I'm taking my phone right,
I'm not thinking I'm lugging a lap tap

227
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:51.519
with me. Also, my laptop
is pretty old and the battery doesn't really

228
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.759
work, so I it doesn't work. It doesn't hold a charge right,

229
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:59.200
like it really holds a charge for
like fifteen minutes. So I wouldn't have

230
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.519
even thought to bring my laptop anyway. But now I get there and everyone's

231
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.839
got their laptop. Oh jeez.
So a friend of mine happened to be

232
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.599
there, like very coincidentally, one
of Sadie's friends from elementary school who was

233
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.079
her good friend for a long time. That mom, those kids go to

234
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.599
different high schools, but that mom
was there with her daughter. So I

235
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.200
see her and you're like, oh
god, a friendly, friendly person.

236
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.599
And she gives me she's got a
kindle with her and she's got her laptop

237
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.559
to do it. But she's like, oh, I brought my kindle to

238
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.440
read. Do you want to use
my kindle to And I was like,

239
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:40.559
yeah, that would be helpful.
So then she immediately says, make sure

240
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.599
you put down my daughter as a
conflict, like you were not going to

241
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.680
be able to judge my daughter.
Okay, I know this family really well,

242
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.200
so I put it down. So
then what happens is they call it

243
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.880
pushing you a ballot. So so
you were supposed to check your email and

244
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.480
they're like for the first round,
they're like, okay, check your email

245
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.519
to see if you got a ballot. So I get a ballot right away

246
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:08.559
now. Also, I'm also thinking, like I don't need to retain all

247
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.720
this information because there's gonna be a
few judges. I'm imagining America's got talent.

248
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.079
You know, there's four judges,
and like, I'm not gonna be

249
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.000
the Simon Cowell. I'll be like
the nice judge. Yeah right, I've

250
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.480
got this whole thing. Make sure
in my mind I'm gonna be her.

251
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.599
Yeah, I'm gonna be like,
great, everybody did fantastic. You know,

252
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.799
let somebody else who's been who's done
this before, they know how to

253
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:34.960
give constructive criticism. Well it turns
out that you a don't give any criticism

254
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.359
or you don't say anything. You
just silently judge them, which I'm pretty

255
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.799
good at rightly judging people. So
anyway, uh, and there's only one

256
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.880
judge. So I'm like, holy
shit, wait, I'm just going to

257
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.319
show up there to judge, and
it's just me like, how am I

258
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.640
going to remember all this shit.
I'm not going to know what to do,

259
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.960
Okay, so whatever I get it, I get given a ballot.

260
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.480
But first ballot I get, I
open it up and I'm sitting right next

261
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.119
to my friend Julie. Not Julie
Caseam, but another Julie. And she

262
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.279
looks at what I got and she's
like, oh no, my daughter's on

263
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.000
there. She's like, they gave
you my daughter. You can't judge this

264
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:18.039
round. Meanwhile, her daughter has
gotten the same email and sees who her

265
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:19.640
judge is going to be, texts
her mom and it's like, Mom,

266
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:25.200
Stephanie's my judge. You got she
can't be my judge? Okay, so

267
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.079
the fuck is going I know,
So then I have to go tell them.

268
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:32.000
I'm like, Also, these people
are all running around like their hair's

269
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.559
on fire. There's the website is
down, there's like all kinds of issues

270
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:37.559
going on. They don't want to
hear from me. But I'm like,

271
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.599
hey, there's a car. I
can't judge this round, and they're like,

272
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.400
all right, we'll take care of
it. So anyway, I don't

273
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.319
be like, it's it's time for
me to go home, Like I think

274
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.960
I'm disqualified at this point, I
was feeling that way. I was like,

275
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.720
Okay, I don't, I don't
maybe they don't need me. Right.

276
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.720
At the same time, at this
point, I'm starting to feel like

277
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:02.000
this is like jury, dude,
like in a good way, like in

278
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.160
the way of like, well,
now that I'm here, I want to

279
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.559
be put on a case. Yes, like I didn't drive, I didn't

280
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.440
drive all the way here to just
like sit around right right, all right,

281
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:12.880
So hold on, let's take a
quick break, and then I'm going

282
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:18.000
to tell you, Yeah, what
happened, Laven speaking of labn quints,

283
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.720
Quince's what's happened? So what's happening? And I just was telling my sister

284
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.240
in law about Quince, and she
bought a Kashmir sweater off of the site

285
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.759
and she loved how many different colors
and options they have. Yeah, and

286
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:36.960
all of Quince's items are priced fifty
to eighty percent less than similar brands.

287
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.319
So you're going to get a cashmere
sweater for under fifty dollars. That's crazy,

288
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.400
it's crazy. And they cut out
they did. They partner directly with

289
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.039
the top factories and they cut which
helps them cut the cost of the middleman

290
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.799
and passes the savings on to us, which we love, and they only

291
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.599
work with factories that use safe,
ethical and responsible manufacturing practices, so you

292
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.559
can feel good about that. But
the the best part is the clothes,

293
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.279
right. For instance, Yeah,
I told you earlier this week how I

294
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.960
legitimately went and bought an extra pair
of the flow knit performance so At pants,

295
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.279
which I love so much. They
finally had it back in stock,

296
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.279
got it as soon as they did. But I think I've even gotten Amy

297
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.240
on board too, because she was
like, oh, I checked out that

298
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.359
Quinn's website. They have a leather
jacket on there. I told you,

299
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.680
yeah, So I think she's gonna
get something too. Yes, yes,

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.319
I wear those pants. I bought
them for Sunny and now I wear them

so I finally, so we're hanging out

306
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.519
and I'm like starting to be me
right, I'm like, hey, when

307
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.000
am I going to get a ballot? Because I they take me off of

308
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.240
that that case, you know,
right, and uh, I'm disqualified and

309
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.920
then so then the next one.
So and there's a lot of waiting in

310
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.440
between, which is why it's a
twelve hour day because you're gonna there's rounds.

311
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:18.599
Each each category has three rounds.
So each category, each kid is

312
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.519
basically going to go three times and
they're going to be in front of three

313
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.559
different judges. Right, and how
many kids are there? Oh, there's

314
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.319
like a hundred over one hundred.
Wow, there's probably like I'm going to

315
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.359
I'm going to guess like one hundred
and twenty five. Wow, Oh my

316
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.000
god. Okay, like a ton
of there's a ton of kids, maybe

317
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.680
one hundred and fifty kids there.
She because they're there are the speech and

318
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:44.559
debate teams from all these different high
schools in the area. Okay, So

319
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.599
and everybody's super nice, Like it
is really like Jewey duty. You start

320
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.640
meeting the other people and you're talking
about your kids and we're talking just you

321
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.680
know, Yeah, everybody's settling in
for twelve hours. Yeah, they give

322
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.759
you food, the subway sandwiches,
you know, like I'm not complaining,

323
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.200
you know, it's fine anyway.
But then so then I get my first

324
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.400
case, you Knowinda, I'm going
to be the judge, and I got

325
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.799
like, legit a little bit nervous, Yeah too, Yeah, because it

326
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.519
combines a lot of things that are
sort of nerve wracking, Like you have

327
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.799
to figure out you're at this high
school that you've never been to. They

328
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.680
give you like a lame map and
they're like, Okay, you're going to

329
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.680
go to this room and all the
kids are going to be waiting for you

330
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.759
there. Oh, these kids have
been in these speech and debate competitions many

331
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:32.759
times, and they're looking at you
like you're going to know what you're doing.

332
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.680
But I'm like, hi, guys, like yeah, okay, what

333
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:38.640
do we do? We just go
inside and they're like where do you want

334
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:44.799
us to sit? I'm like,
I don't know wherever you want. Then

335
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.119
I'm like, you know what,
this is my opportunity to be like the

336
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:51.279
favorite teacher, like you know,
you know me, I want to be

337
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:53.079
the cool mom from me and girls. I want to be like the favorite

338
00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:57.079
I It was ridiculous. I was
ridiculous. I was just like, you

339
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.960
guys, I just want you guys
to becomefortable. Just sit wherever you want

340
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.359
and I'll figure out where I'm sitting. And they're like, okay, cool.

341
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.759
I'm making a little bit of light
conversation with them. We've been warned

342
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.200
do not like talk to any specific
kid because like you don't want any any

343
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.680
bias, right, Like you don't
want them to sniff out any like you

344
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:22.079
know, any of them. Like
yeah, so I'm having to just be

345
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.920
very general. But like the first
room we're in, the kids were trying

346
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.400
to determine what the classroom was because
there was like some weird stuff on the

347
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.319
wall. So I was like,
i'll find out. So I go over

348
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.599
to a pilot textbooks and I pull
it out. I'm like, oh,

349
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.279
we're in health class and they're like, oh, okay, cool, cool,

350
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.640
you know. Yeah. Now I'm
like okay, oh, I go,

351
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.440
do you guys want to start early? And they're like, oh,

352
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.799
I don't think we're allowed to do
that. I'm like, okay, is

353
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.039
that cool? Yeah I didn't.
I don't know what I was thinking,

354
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.559
but like of course I know that
anyway. So then these kids go up

355
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.519
to do their speeches. You guys, when I tell you, they blew

356
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:07.240
me away. They were so good
I believe in it. So at one

357
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.759
point I was like, okay,
so hold on a minute. This was

358
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:14.519
the original poetry and prose. And
I'm like, okay, but you guys

359
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.359
are but this is like somebody else. You're doing somebody else's original thing.

360
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.799
Because because I was trying to figure
out what I'm judging this on, because

361
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:26.000
if I'm judging this on the writing
of the piece, it's like, this

362
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.480
is better than anything I've ever written
in my life. And these kids are

363
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.799
high school kids, they're some of
them are freshmen, right, And I

364
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.839
was like, hold on, though, this isn't you guys didn't write this

365
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.000
right, And they're like, no, no, no, yeah we did.

366
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:42.640
We wrote We are writing and performing
our own pieces. I'm like,

367
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.640
but by your own you mean something
that you found you and they're like,

368
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:52.599
no, like we wrote it.
And I was like, okay, I'm

369
00:25:52.640 --> 00:26:00.640
a little intimidated right now. Anybody
who's chat GPT, hey I write Oh

370
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.440
my god, this the first kid, first kid out of the gate,

371
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:10.960
absolutely blew me away with the story
about two brothers in the Holocaust, and

372
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.240
I was just like, what is
happening. I was very much in my

373
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:21.359
own head of like, I just
don't understand how a high school kid came

374
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.839
up with this. So then then
the next kid comes up amazing, like

375
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:29.359
just as good as the first kid. I'm like, oh God, now

376
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.480
I'm gonna have to decide between these
people. And then also I don't know

377
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:37.039
because after each kid's piece, they're
clapping for each other, and I'm like,

378
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.920
oh, am, I supposed to
clap if my clap for one,

379
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.680
I got a clap for all of
them, equal volume, yes, like

380
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.720
I don't want to be see seem
like they're gonna go oh she clapped louder

381
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.920
for that kid, so he's gonna
win, you know. So then and

382
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.559
then I have to give them a
score between seventy and one hundred. So

383
00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:59.039
this first these first two what they
were they were? There's like six kids

384
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.680
in this round, right, and
they're doing the original prose and poetry.

385
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.079
Okay, that's what I had was
given to judge. Okay, so I

386
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.559
got all these kids and they all
go up, and then I have to

387
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.839
give them a score, and then
I have to enter their score and I

388
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.599
have to make comments. Okay,
so the score is what to seventy seventy

389
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.599
to one hundred, seventy to one
hundred. Yeah, so I gave two

390
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.720
kids one hundred because I was like, well, nobody's telling me like,

391
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.960
hey, like, don't give a
hundred. Like, I don't know,

392
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.640
it's if it's the Olympics and it's
very hard to get a perfect ten.

393
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.559
But I was like, who am
I to be judging these kids? Something

394
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:37.359
I could never it would be yeah, it would be like if I was

395
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.440
judging the Olympics, right, you
know, because you could say, well,

396
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.279
you're a writer, so you can
well no, but it's like saying

397
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:45.839
that I would did gymnastics in the
sixties grade. It's like, yeah,

398
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:51.160
a whole different thing, right.
So I'm just like, I don't know,

399
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.799
I gave two kids one hundred.
One kid in ninety eight, when

400
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.240
you know, I was like,
well, you know, so then you'd

401
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.119
like get they get set at first, you're like one hundred hundred, you

402
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:02.599
get settled in, You're like,
okay, maybe I can dial it back

403
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.759
a little bit. Well, yeah, one kid was like not quite as

404
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.839
good as the other kids. So
I was like, but then you're like,

405
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.279
well, these are high school kids. Well I'm not going to say

406
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.440
like, uh, you kind of
like you have to be like, well,

407
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.519
I gotta I gotta say something positive
about this kid too, because this

408
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.039
kid, I mean, it's hard
to just get up there and try there.

409
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.400
I was really blown away. Okay, so now I finished my first

410
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.119
round and now I'm like I would
be at jury duty where I'm like,

411
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.200
give me the next one. Where's
my next one? And then I didn't

412
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.119
get the next one. Then I
was complaining. I complained to the person

413
00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:41.640
trying, like how come I didn't
get a ballot. She's like, oh,

414
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.920
like I'm I'm trying. I'm getting
you know. Now she's a little

415
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.000
annoyed at me a little bit.
She's like, I'm trying, I'm doing

416
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:53.440
my best. I'm getting trying to
get everyone ballots. Anyway, I finally

417
00:28:53.480 --> 00:29:00.200
got another one in the afternoon.
Enjoyed the fuck out of that one too.

418
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.160
So, yeah, you had to
wait around for the next one,

419
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.079
like I had to wait around.
Then you'd see other people getting like the

420
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.480
next round would come and all these
people are getting balanced. Then my friend

421
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.079
who's with me is like, now
she's rooting for me. She's like,

422
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.720
I hope you get a ballot.
I hope they call your name. She's

423
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.400
like, I would give you mine, like you can't really trade because it's

424
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.880
like it's like a whole system they
have, right, But anyway, I'm

425
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:27.720
like, I really I'm available,
and she's like I know, and then

426
00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:33.880
I finally get it. Well,
the problem was they did give me another

427
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.880
one, but they accidentally gave me
like some of the same kids from the

428
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.359
one that I had already judged.
So first I got the conflict and then

429
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.519
the second one. The next one
I got was like the kids I just

430
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.400
judged in the one before, so
I didn't get that one right. And

431
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.359
then I got the next one,
which was like seven kids doing an original

432
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:59.400
speech. Ooh, that's good.
Yeah, and in that one that was

433
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.359
also like super fun. Yeah,
I bet that's tough too. It was

434
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.359
really really fun. It was really
tough. But that one I got even

435
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.119
more into because now I'm like,
oh, yeah, I'm I'm I'm settled.

436
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.079
I get it. I know what
kind of notes to give, like

437
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.079
right, but I was some of
them about like oh okay. So one

438
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:25.920
of the speeches from the second round
was about a girl who was giving like

439
00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.759
an informational but also passionate speech about
how she has type two diabetes, oh

440
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:37.599
god, and how it's really misunderstood
and diabetes is the only like kind of

441
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:42.079
condition disease that is that is only
known for its symptoms and it's not really

442
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:47.759
the cost. Like she had a
whole thing, and it was personalized because

443
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:51.559
like she was diagnosed as a little
kid, and some of the sort of

444
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:56.279
insulting things people say like that he
said to her mom, like, oh,

445
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:57.920
she must be eating too many donuts
or something, and she's like,

446
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:02.559
people don't understand. And it was
a it was a great speech. Wow.

447
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:10.720
Yeah, another girl, Oh my
gosh, did one about I voted

448
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.960
this girl number one. She was
super funny right from the beginning. She

449
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.759
did one about how much pressure there
is on success on our kids and how

450
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:25.200
we think of success as like going
to a top ten college and how we

451
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.920
have these things and it's just a
lot of pressure for the kids and maybe

452
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:33.319
we need to rethink, like maybe
success should just be doing like what makes

453
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:41.200
you happy. And it was not
as like impassioned as the but the way

454
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.240
her delivery she had like some slide
jokes. She was just so natural.

455
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:51.480
I loved her and she made everybody
laugh out loud. And she had little

456
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:56.079
surprises in there, a little love
that like little funny things direct to the

457
00:31:56.200 --> 00:32:00.440
judges. Anyway, I loved her, and it's so funny because you're like,

458
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:01.519
oh my god, I love her. Okay, she's my number one.

459
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:05.160
But then somebody else will read and
you're like, wait a minute,

460
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.920
maybe they're my number one. And
then you're like rearranging your you know,

461
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.200
it was like right up my alley, like you know, I love the

462
00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:14.440
voice. Yes, I love to
like pick my favorites. So I was

463
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.200
like, this is a job that
was made for me, and now I

464
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:23.799
want to judge every special debate competition. And then twelve hours flew by,

465
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:29.359
it flew fo over yet now and
then you get to go to the awards

466
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:34.400
ceremony and see the kids that you
judged, because then they because they've been

467
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:38.599
in rounds with other judges, right, so then like what the first round

468
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:45.279
that I judged the kid that I
gave number one, number one absolutely for

469
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.759
his comments, I gave him a
hundred. I was like, you were

470
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.640
amazing. This was like insane.
I have no notes for you. That's

471
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:54.480
why I gave you one hundred.
What am I going to give you constructive

472
00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:00.160
critic I have no criticism that kid
didn't even place. The other judge is

473
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.759
obviously did not make that kid their
number one. So then you get you

474
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:07.279
get to get all mad, like
one of these judges on drugs, like,

475
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.640
what's going on? Yeah, that's
ridiculous. The kid was clearly anyway.

476
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:13.960
So it was really fun. So
the ceremony was at the end of

477
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.680
the night, the end of the
same right, so they tabulate all the

478
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:21.799
winners and then they give away trophies. So you're still there, right like,

479
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:23.599
now it's been well, now you
got dons in the race. You

480
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.920
want to you want to know who's
winning exactly. I'd be so mad if

481
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:30.319
we did have to go home and
they did the awards the next day,

482
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.799
I'd be like, oh, hell
no, I need to see if these

483
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:36.000
people, if these people agreed with
me. So yeah, So then all

484
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.640
the kids go in the auditorium and
I'm sitting with all the parents that I've

485
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:42.359
made friends with, and yeah,
by the end of it, I was

486
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.039
like, Okay, when's the next
one they get me on that panel?

487
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:49.799
It was really fun. I had
a day that's so cute. I love

488
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.720
that, I know. And then
John was like feeling bad for me.

489
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.200
He was sending me texts and just
going, oh my gosh, you must

490
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.960
be so tired. I was like, hell, I'm energized, bitch,

491
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.920
I'm doing those every time. Yes, that's awesome. Yeah, when is

492
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.679
the next one? It's in a
month. I gut, Yeah, are

493
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:12.079
you going to do it? I
think so. Yeah. I think it's

494
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.400
in the rank. Can I go
to it? I know they do need

495
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:17.719
judges. I'll do it. It's
not that far for you. Yeah,

496
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:23.159
I know I have to be so
fine. That's awesome, But mainly because

497
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:28.679
I was just inspired by these kids. Yes, yeah, yeah. And

498
00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.800
if you're wondering how Xander did,
so, he was in something called duos,

499
00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:36.760
so he had a partner with his
and this was his first time.

500
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.440
This is his first year trying it, and so the first competition he went

501
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:45.840
to, only two contestants from his
category showed up, so there were so

502
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:50.320
he was only against one other person. So he did great. He won.

503
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:53.800
And there's a thing called picket fence
for all my speech and debate parents

504
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:58.519
out there, and that means that
all the judges ranked you number one.

505
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.119
Oh well, that's called pick fencing, and you get like a standing ovation

506
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:07.079
for that. So Xander got some
false confidence because in his first one,

507
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:12.320
he was also going against a team
that was brand new to it, and

508
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.880
he and his partner did really well
and they were number one for all the

509
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:21.079
judges. So they won and they
got a trophy. Yeah, but Xander

510
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:22.840
was like I ran into Xander during
the day and he's like, mom,

511
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:29.199
this is insane. Like these other
duos that were up against He's like,

512
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:32.760
I had no idea, Like they're
amazing. He's like, I'm not going

513
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:36.480
to do well. I'm not doing
well. He's like, I mean,

514
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.840
it's totally fine and it's fun and
I'm doing my thing. But I had

515
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:44.760
no idea, Like what it is
that makes this category good? Now I

516
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:46.760
know? But he told me afterwards, he was like, well, I

517
00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:51.320
don't feel bad. I had a
great day and I feel inspired to like

518
00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.920
now I know how to make mine
better, you know. So and now

519
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:58.760
he was all jazz and he wants
to like, I love that in another

520
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.360
category? Great, so fun,
this is exciting. I had no idea

521
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:07.119
this world exists. Yeah, that's
awesome. Did you know about this,

522
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:09.559
Kaylen? No, I did not. Did you have speech and debate when

523
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:15.159
you were a kid, if they
had it at my school, I definitely

524
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.239
wasn't one that was participating in it. That might have been some kind of

525
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:22.000
high school class. I think it's
pretty nerdy this. There were a lot

526
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:24.719
of kids that I was like,
nerd alert. Yeah, yeah, no,

527
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:30.800
no, we didn't. There's this
little girl, well she's not little

528
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:34.719
anymore. She's a senior, but
I remember her being young and in second

529
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:37.920
grade with Sonny in Natalia and they
just told me. They're like, her

530
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:42.280
name was Kaylin. They're like,
Kaylen got into Harvard and she's on this,

531
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.280
she's on this. I go,
what's what's all her? You know,

532
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:46.920
crek, I know she was on
track. Yeah, she was on

533
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:52.480
track, and she's on speech and
debate. And then of course she volunteered

534
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:54.199
in the community. I mean all
this thing, these things. I don't

535
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:57.920
know if she played an instrument,
but she was definitely on speech and debate.

536
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.000
I was like, wow, my
god. But also her parents went

537
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:06.599
to Harvard and her grand legacy,
right, but that's not taken away.

538
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:08.239
I mean, she's a I think
she's a They're they're like, she's a

539
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:13.079
great student. But yeah, she's
got into Harvard. Wow. I know.

540
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:17.519
Any okay, I'm going to ask
you something right after we talk about

541
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:24.320
neutriful love neutrifile. You know,
like I've talked about before, I've had

542
00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:30.840
the hair thinning, the shedding,
the week they it would break, I

543
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:35.159
just like starting to get like thinning
out around my face. And when I

544
00:37:35.239 --> 00:37:38.639
started taking Neutrafil, after a few
months, I started noticing my hair is

545
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:45.159
healthier. It was feeling thicker,
little baby wisps were coming in. And

546
00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:52.400
I love Neutrafil And you take four
pills daily with a meal, and it's

547
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:59.159
clinically effective formula. And I've also
they neutrafil has a proactive approach where they

548
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.679
target the room causes of the issue
because not all people have the same issue,

549
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:07.119
right, And that's why they have
different formulas for different issues. You

550
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.920
know, they have a different formula
for like the postmenopausal thinning and for other

551
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.199
reasons. That's right. Yeah,
Yeah. Everybody that I've talked to that's

552
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:21.039
tried it loves it. Neutrifil is
the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement,

560
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:06.199
answers from colleges that your kids have
applied to? Hmm no. I think

561
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.960
Sonny is still waiting on a couple
of them. But he did get into

562
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:15.239
Washington State, which he's excited about, and I think that's going to be

563
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:22.280
his thing. Oh yes, yeah. And then Natalia she's she's now.

564
00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:27.960
I think she's thinking that she might
stay in Santa Barbara because I think it's

565
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.599
it'll be easier for her to get
but she still wants to go to Miami.

566
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.920
That's her her thing. So okay, So she wants to go to

567
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.280
Santa Barbara City College, and she
wants to live in Santa Barbara to go

568
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:43.360
there, obviously. Yeah. And
then wants to transfer to Miami. Yeah,

569
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.159
yeah, but if not, she
might stay the only reason why she

570
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:50.599
doesn't want to stay in Santa Barbara's
the school doesn't have like a big football

571
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:54.360
team, and she wants to do
sports journalism, like she's really yeah,

572
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:59.119
which I didn't know. And she's
like, I'm really getting into sports because

573
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.800
of her boyfriend. They're watching games
and Sonny, and she's like, I'm

574
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.599
really like getting interested in like the
college teams and stuff like fascinating about you

575
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:10.039
know how like you were with with
John. So she's like, I think

576
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:14.440
I want to do sport and and
and so Santa Barbara doesn't have like,

577
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:16.360
you know, a lot any sports
really, I mean, not the big

578
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:22.599
sports. That's what she's interested in. Okay, yeah, that's so fun.

579
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.599
But so what did she apply so
far? In the other for a

580
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:30.880
major? Do you know what major
she applied? Yeah, she played communications

581
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.239
and journalism. Yeah, oh okay, that's kind of perfect. But she

582
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.920
hasn't heard yes or no yet,
so she has from the ones that she

583
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:45.840
her first. So she got rejected. Yeah, and from Miami I think,

584
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:51.760
now, yes, Miami, I
think TCU, uh like did a

585
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.320
wait list or something? I think
or was it and she applied early decisions

586
00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:01.679
she yes, yes, ed mm
hmm. Yeah. So but now she's

587
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:06.159
like, yeah, she doesn't she's
not really interested in going there now.

588
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:09.880
Okay, okay, but she's still
waiting on Miami. No, she didn't

589
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:15.440
get into Miami. She bombed.
No, because now she's like got this

590
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:21.239
whole plan that that's what she wants
to do, and she's already talking to

591
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.920
the counselors about what classes she's gonna
need to transfer and all that. So

592
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:30.920
she's getting all that done. She
might do some classes. I think she

593
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:36.400
might do like a winter break class, like some math something during winter break,

594
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:40.000
not winter break, spring break,
but maybe so anyway, she's looking

595
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:46.559
into getting all those credits that she
needs during summer. No, no,

596
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:52.639
no, what is it? Yeah, maybe it is summer yeah, APEX

597
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:57.079
or something. She's doing something where
she just needs a few more credits.

598
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.039
So I think it might be an
APEX class or something like that. I

599
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:04.760
don't know. Okay, she's like
all over it and on top of it.

600
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:09.320
Great, yeah yeah, but just
keep in mind that Elbe seemed to

601
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:14.039
be on top of herning and then
it was like one thing after another that

602
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:17.519
was like wait a minute. Yeah, I didn't know this right. Just

603
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.880
make sure that she talks that the
counselor she talks to at Santa Barbara is

604
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.639
not giving her a bad like I
know, well I know, and she's

605
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:30.159
not talking to the counselor yet at
Santa Barbara. She's working with her school

606
00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:35.079
to get a find a good counselor
for her because the counselor she's had and

607
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:39.199
the counselor that Sonny's had was not
that great, Like they had to be

608
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:44.960
on top of him and he even
like his writing was kind of like eh,

609
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:50.000
it wasn't like wasn't really impressed.
But but they're pretty much done with

610
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.480
him, so now it's like on
to somebody, somebody that's going to help

611
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:57.760
her with Santa Barbara. Yeah,
and the school's helping her with that well

612
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:00.480
pretty much. If she's gonna go
to Santa Barbara for two years, then

613
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:05.159
she's going it's going to be pretty
easy, I think, to make sure

614
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.920
she takes all the classes that she
needs. Elbie's issue was that she was

615
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:13.159
trying to do it in a year
and they weren't great with telling her exactly

616
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.079
what she needed to accomplish, you
know, like the fact that she thought

617
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.880
she was in the UCLA Past to
UCLA program, and it turned out she

618
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.960
wasn't enrolled in the honors classes.
Somebody should have flagged that tur and told

619
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:30.239
her exactly how to sign up for
the honors because it's everything's very byzantine and

620
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:35.159
complicated, and it's very easy to
make a mistake and think you didn't make

621
00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:37.800
a mistake because you're like, oh, well, this counselor told me this,

622
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:42.159
and I followed this, and there's
nobody checking over to go let me,

623
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.599
let me make sure you'd you know. Whereas in high school, it's

624
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.920
you're very kind of protected because if
you're not in the right class, they're

625
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.239
going to flag that. They're going
to be like, well you're not,

626
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:57.400
you're not going to get the right
you can't graduate. They're going to make

627
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.000
sure they fix it for you.
The community college they don't give a fun

628
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.559
I don't give a shit. No, it's up to you to make sure

629
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.679
that you're doing what you need to
do. So that's why Elbe was gonna

630
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:08.840
end up. Well, she didn't
know that she was going to need a

631
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:14.559
communications class if she wanted to apply
to San Diego State. So the whole

632
00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:17.199
time she didn't have that on her
schedule. It was me. I looked

633
00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:21.440
it up because I'm the one that
gets nervous, and I was like,

634
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:25.639
hey, like, I'm looking at
the San Diego State If you're thinking that

635
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:29.599
that's where you want to go,
do you have this thing called the Golden

636
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.000
four? And I asked Elbe,
do you know what the Golden for is?

637
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:37.320
And she's like no, And I
go, okay, well, you're

638
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:42.480
not going to get into San Diego
State if you don't have these certain requirements.

639
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.920
One of them is like a critical
thinking class. One of them's an

640
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:52.559
oral communications class. And she's like, I haven't heard of that. So

641
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:58.079
she asked her counselor, a counselor. She made an appointment, went to

642
00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.039
the counselor, and the councilor was
like, oh, oh yeah, you

643
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.519
don't have the fuck you need a
communications class. So she was like,

644
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:09.920
okay, any specific communication you know. It turned out this counselor that she

645
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.679
asked was that this was a just
at Peers. Oh at Pierce, that's

646
00:45:14.719 --> 00:45:19.840
where she's where she's going, right. It was like okay, but like

647
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:24.760
she never she's had many counselors prior
to that, not one of them mentioned,

648
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.599
hey, if you're going to apply
to the cal States, you need

649
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:30.679
to have this qualification. She didn't
know. I don't get it. It's

650
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:36.199
like we you know, you pay
these counselors a lot of money and they're

651
00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:38.639
doing it every day all the time, year after year with these kids,

652
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:44.039
right like they don't know. Well, so Elbe says, well, first

653
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:45.840
of all, I don't know if
PEERCE counselors are paid a lot of money

654
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:50.079
or no. I mean I'm talking
about like this is not a private one

655
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.400
that we all paid a lot of
money for that. No, this is

656
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:59.360
not that that ship is long sailing. That counselor sucked because she didn't tell

657
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:05.320
us that the psychology was impacted.
Like she didn't us no favors. That

658
00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:09.239
was throwing away money. But now
we've moved on to the counselors at the

659
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:14.079
community college who are supposed to help
you figure out how are you going to

660
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:16.360
reapply to these schools in one year? What do you need to do,

661
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:21.079
What do you need to have,
What score do you need to have received

662
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:27.000
on your AP exam to cover some
of the requirements for let's say Santa Barbara,

663
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.159
like you want to apply to to
you see, Santa Barbara, you're

664
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:35.599
going to need to have received this
score on this AP test, did you

665
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:38.920
yes or no? You're going to
need to have taken this English class,

666
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:43.079
you know. So some of it
she'd already taken, but there's a few

667
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:49.239
things that she needed to do in
order to graduate, basically get her associate's

668
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.199
degree in one year. It's a
very intricate thing, and some of these

669
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:54.719
counselors don't know what they're talking about, so they're like, oh, yeah,

670
00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:00.280
yeah, you're fine. Elbe told
me that the one counselor didn't tell

671
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:05.760
her that because she was helping her
with UC applications, not cal state applications.

672
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:07.400
I'm like, okay, but you
think she would have said, like,

673
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.239
but by the way, if you're
applying to any cal states, you

674
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:15.320
need to have these Golden four Like
yeah, it seems like part of their

675
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:17.679
job. But they didn't. So
now LB had to throw herself into a

676
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.880
communications class. So what do you
suppoke? Like, so what do I

677
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:24.199
do? Like? What are you
supposed to do? Just make sure that

678
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:30.000
when before she enrolls in Santa Barbara, when she enrolls, you immediately get

679
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:34.079
with a counselor. They will assign
you one, or you can go into

680
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.599
these like portals and speak to a
counselor before you sign up for all your

681
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:43.159
classes and tell her to make sure
that, like do you need if your

682
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:46.440
goal is Miami and that's a hard
school to get into, Let's say she's

683
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:50.320
going to have to get good grades. She needs to go on rate my

684
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:54.000
professor and so that the classes she's
signing up for are easy and have good

685
00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:59.480
teachers. Yeah, you don't want
to run into like listen, they're going

686
00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:01.119
to be really looking at your grades. You don't want to run into some

687
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:06.519
professor that everybody hates. It's like
a mean grader. That's true. Yeah,

688
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:13.840
So that was one thing. And
then just knowing what classes you will

689
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:17.599
have to have accomplished during the time
that you're at Santa Barbara. I have

690
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:22.159
a feeling that not every kid is
super motivated to move on to a university.

691
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:27.119
So you got a bunch of kids
fucking around at community college just trying

692
00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.320
to figure out what they want to
do. So if she knows and she's

693
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:34.920
like, this is my goal,
this is what I want to get in

694
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:42.960
journalism or sports broadcasting at this school
helped me take the right classes because she

695
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:45.800
is going to have to take a
bunch of generals and then a bunch of

696
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.840
requirements for her major. You don't
want her to find out year two like,

697
00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:52.639
oh you didn't Yeah, that's that
can't apply. You didn't take the

698
00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:55.599
right classes. That would be horrible. Yeah, but I learned the hard

699
00:48:55.599 --> 00:49:00.360
way with LB that you have to
you have to tell the counselor what you

700
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:08.599
need, right right, Yeah,
all right. I feel like you're like,

701
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:13.559
Okay, I know. I don't
want to overwhelm your anxiety on me.

702
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:15.119
No, I know, that's okay. Yeah, Now it's good.

703
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:22.800
Lbi's in her in her first day
of in person classes for her second semester.
