So, I 68 00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:59,480 mean I'm an ally, but I don't. I'm not like advertising anything about 69 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:03,959 my family. It's mostly me. I'm pretty narcissistic self centers. You let 70 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:08,920 your do you take pictures with your mom? Like because my kids, well, 71 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,399 Sonny lets me, but Natalian no, I can never take a selfie 72 00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:15,040 with her. I mean, mom just hates me, so she doesn't really 73 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,040 ask to take photos. Oh, I'll take pictures with you, mom, 74 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,360 right. I In fact, I took a really cute picture of him the 75 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:27,680 other day, but I would I know better than to even say, like, 76 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,240 can I post this on my Facebook? Because I know he'd be like 77 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:34,199 probably not right? But I and I always have to get everybody's permission if 78 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,160 I take a group photo, like if we're at dinner together and I want 79 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,399 to show and put sure all of us, right, I always have to 80 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:44,160 say like, and I can usually let you you just I'm gonna be real 81 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,800 to all the fans. Mom doesn't take great photos? What that doesn't surprise 82 00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:54,399 me, doesn't surprise anyone. Sander, we're old, we're not good at 83 00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,680 like selfies, and I mean that's pretty good. But he's a photographer, 84 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:03,240 so oh, I'd say he's a right like. He likes taking photos, 85 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,560 he likes, he likes, he likes cameras. Yeah, Sanders good at 86 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,360 a lot of things. Yes, I've I've heard, yes, and pretty 87 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:17,600 talented. I am fascinated the fact that you taught yourself how to play guitar 88 00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:25,160 basic guitar. Yeah, off of YouTube. So you just picked it up 89 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:30,759 and started like looking at videos and tell us what the process was because you 90 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:34,120 originally, well, let's be real, Sadie wanted to play guitar. So 91 00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:38,160 you were like, so do I. So we got you guys an acoustic 92 00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,120 guitar. Yeah, and then it sat around for a while and then what 93 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,920 happened And Dad had said this was during COVID, and Dad had said, 94 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560 I'll get you guys lessons and then you take it from here. Okay, 95 00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:53,240 So Duran, Duran bought a guitar during COVID. You'll call him like John 96 00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:58,000 from durand right, Yeah, okay, so he bought he bought a like 97 00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,199 acoustic guitar. Also, Mom, I had been wanting to play for like 98 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,920 a long time. It wasn't just like yes, I it wasn't just like 99 00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:09,000 since he but I've been asking Dad. So he got a guitar for me 100 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,480 and Sadie to learn. He wanted to take get his lessons. But online 101 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,639 lessons or like online colasses and stuff, it just doesn't really, it doesn't. 102 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120 It doesn't. It didn't seem that fun for me. So he sent 103 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,879 me up on this one lesson and it was trying to teach me how to 104 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,160 play. Mary had a little lamb on one string, and I was like, 105 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,360 no, we're not We're not doing this to I want to shred Okay, 106 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,559 shredding is not Mary had a little lamb. So you did the one 107 00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:43,960 lesson though. I did the one lesson and it got me nowhere. Okay. 108 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:48,200 So you basically said I don't want to do these. Yeah, I 109 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,279 just I just said I didn't want to do it. I tried, it 110 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:56,639 didn't love it. So I just I started using This was in like twenty 111 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,879 twenty or like twenty twenty, yeah, right, And so at first I 112 00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:05,960 was just I was kind of into it. So I was doing like I 113 00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,440 was doing like YouTube videos and stuff, learning how to play. Like I 114 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,200 remember I learned this one song it was like shallow from that one movie A 115 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,720 Star Was Born, which was fun watches a dove and if you guys can't 116 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:26,440 tell, I also take singing lessons. Yes I love that song. Well 117 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,559 no no no no no no, okay, I'm done singing, so like, 118 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,279 um, yeah, so I did like a few. It was like 119 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,840 I was just learning songs. So I just went on YouTube like easy to 120 00:09:35,919 --> 00:09:41,279 play, and then I think I just kind of but first, didn't you 121 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:46,320 learn like some really simple songs at first? Like country Roads? Remember you 122 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,279 you taught me Country Roads? But then you taught yourself because you came out 123 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,399 and you're like, hey, I learned this on YouTube? Did it? 124 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,600 So? Did it teach you literally literally teach you like the chords? Yeah, 125 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,000 so I like looked up YouTube. It was in it had to tell 126 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:05,120 me, okay, so put this finger here. This is it just told 127 00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:07,679 me how to play chords. And then it was like this is basically how 128 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,080 every like no matter what difficulty. It's like, okay, so you're gonna 129 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,000 play these chords. This is how you play it. Put them in this 130 00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:20,039 order and suddenly you're playing country roads m and so I thought that was really 131 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,440 fun. So I did a few simple songs like that. I think I 132 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:28,240 did like Heather by Conan Gray, which was fun. I'm trying to remember 133 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,759 some other ones. I don't remember them all. Okay, uh, honestly, 134 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:37,200 there's not much to it. It's like I think when you did some 135 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,600 food Fighters you did yes, yeahs that you did Everlong ya Hello, Yeah, 136 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,480 I played Everlong. I played monkey Wrench, but that was like, 137 00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:50,559 wow, you played monkey right, played monkey Wrench. It's really fun. 138 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,320 So no, no, no, no, no no no no no no 139 00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:58,000 no no no. Wah, my god, we should be a duo, 140 00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:01,639 I know. Jeez. Yes, I could be the singer with you too. 141 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:13,039 Hey, keep going. My name is Zander. I'm on a podcast. 142 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,840 What rhymes of podcast? Word? Dropped the mic? Wait? I 143 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:22,600 can't drop the mic. It's attached to a table. Yeah. Hey, 144 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,960 that's my mom. She's wearing green. Wow. That's great. This was 145 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,639 some This is some talent right here. All right? So then, so 146 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:35,559 you did you how did you know when to like up your difficulty because you've 147 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,519 gotten really good at guitar. I was just feeling bold. I was like, 148 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,759 hey, this song looks hard, let me try it, and then 149 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,440 it was really difficult, and then I got frustrated, and then I was 150 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,200 like, hey, I can play it. That's so crazy. That's it 151 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,879 must have been very satisfying once you get it right. Yeah, it was. 152 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,799 I guess it was like I started doing difficult songs maybe like a little 153 00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,759 bit too early, so it was like really difficult, but then it started 154 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,480 but then as I just kept on trying them, it started getting less and 155 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,799 less difficult until they were all like pretty easy. And then I went onto 156 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,960 some like more difficult songs. I do a lot of food fighters. I'm 157 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:18,360 amazing, but it's a great quick break. Yeah, okay, we're back. 158 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,759 Now. What about the improv classes you've been doing, because you seem 159 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,200 like you're very you could be very good at improv ground lanes. Yes, 160 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:35,159 and yes and yeah and sleigh. Yeah. Was that fun for you or 161 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,440 did you, like, were people in your age group at that time? 162 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:46,360 Because Natalia did un so Natalia so Xander did is doing the one that's for 163 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,720 fourteen to eighteen year olds. Right, what Natalia did was a drop in 164 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:54,960 class and it's open for ten to eighteen, So you're going to get a 165 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,759 bunch of younger kids because they do ten to thirteen year olds and then fourteen 166 00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:03,080 to eight eighteen year olds, right right, So but in the with the 167 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,480 drop in, it's all of those and they're mostly going to be younger kids. 168 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,840 Xanders is he's going to be on the young side. Yes, yeah, 169 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:15,320 I was. I'm definitely one of the youngest because they're all they're all 170 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,960 like sophomores. Well, it's kind of weird because it's in the summer, 171 00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,639 so like I'm an incoming sophomore, they're all incoming juniors. But so I 172 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,840 actually like being on the younger side. Yeah, of this class, it's 173 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,919 pretty fun. We're all like, it's not like there's any ten year olds 174 00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:31,759 there. I mean, we're all pretty similar ages. But it's really fun 175 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,519 because I feel like we're all on like a pretty similar level. And I 176 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,840 just, yeah, I really enjoy the Groundlings classes. I think they're super 177 00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:43,840 fun. They sound fun, and I think you would be really good at 178 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,879 it, like the keep going. I think you would be great. Thank 179 00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:50,080 you. Yeah, Now we don't say the name of your school, but 180 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:56,360 I would love for us to talk about I don't know if other parents out 181 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,279 there I think a lot of kids. I know that Xander has had, 182 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,759 you know, maybe some frustrations with like making friends and finding like kind of 183 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:07,120 his tribe, you know. But and I always wonder if that has to 184 00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:11,279 do with like we've changed schools a lot. But like I'd love to hear 185 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,279 sort of the pros and cons of going to a small school. Yeah, 186 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,759 okay, so I definitely say I'm just a negative guy. I'm gonna start 187 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:26,679 with the cons first, So I'd say, like the definite cons is, 188 00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:30,399 like there's not a lot of friend options. So like, like you said, 189 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,879 it's like pretty dang hard to make friends when there are forty five kids 190 00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:37,440 in the freshman class. It's crazy. And I'm a social butterfly, and 191 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,039 there just weren't I couldn't flap my wings very much. There weren't very many. 192 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,279 There weren't a lot of people that were like my speed there, I 193 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,519 guess. And then I did end up finding some people like beginning of year, 194 00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:56,600 but then shit hit the fan, and like drama started out of nowhere, 195 00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:01,799 and then suddenly like those people aren't as close, and it's like I'm 196 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,840 constantly trying to like find some new people to hang out with. Yeah, 197 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,399 it's pretty difficult. And this is the school you're at now, yes, 198 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,960 okay, and it's it's it's like a performing arts school. No, no, 199 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,519 it's a it's an academic school. Yeah, it just happens to have 200 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,000 a lot of arts of your kids there. Yeah, it's like a college 201 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,039 prep school. But there's a lot of really I mean, it feels like 202 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,200 an art school to me, Like it's actually that's something that I really like 203 00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:33,120 about my school. Like there's a lot of really cool I mean, there's 204 00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:37,080 a lot of really cool things about it, like music. There's the music 205 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:43,039 program thing, and then there's like there's a lot of different arts and then 206 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,080 I mean the dance team is not that good. Not to cull anyone out, 207 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:50,679 but like you have compared to a lot of bigger schools, you have 208 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,440 all those things. You have like school newspaper that you want to work on. 209 00:15:54,559 --> 00:16:00,000 But plus in addition, you have music lab, which is like a 210 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,840 whole performing arts It's like, yeah, people can either bring in their own 211 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,840 instruments, but they provide a ton of instruments and they just form little bands 212 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:12,440 and it's really cool. It does sound like a performing art school. Yeah, 213 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,879 it's super fun. I mean, I love the music Lab program. 214 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:22,320 I mean there's I normally really love the music Lab program. It's a little 215 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,720 hard when you're a freshman because like me and my friend Alec, Me and 216 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,919 my friend Alec, we were the only two freshmen in that class. But 217 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,240 overall it was like really fun because you get to be really creative and there's 218 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,080 a lot of times where you could like there's a lot of times where you 219 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,279 could just jam, and then there's other times because we have this we have 220 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,799 this like concert type thing that we do like maybe like three times a year 221 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,159 where we all get into groups and like form songs and perform them in like 222 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:53,720 kind of like a club. It's like it's like a kind of club for 223 00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:57,159 Mattie thing where it's like there's like a set list in everything, and it's 224 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,360 like it's really fun. That's really cool, And you guys have to come 225 00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:04,799 up with your own songs or do you go do you cover songs? It's 226 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,839 a lot of covers. Yeah, But then there are some people that really 227 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,279 want to do their own songs and that's okay, good for that, good 228 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:21,200 for them. The rock stars of this generation, yeah, I mean they 229 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,400 have that, and then they have theater and he was doing some cool stuff 230 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,559 in theater and he did this monologue that I really wanted to post online because 231 00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,880 it was so did a monologue, really, yeah, I did a monologue. 232 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,880 It is really fun from what I don't even know. It's like not 233 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,960 from It wasn't from like any type of movie. It was just like one 234 00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:42,920 that people write. I guess. It was this monologue and it was I 235 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,279 am like this Karen who's like following It's like, I'm this Karen who's like 236 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,359 following around this lady because she threw a bag of trash onto like the four 237 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,359 or five and I'm like chasing them to like it's it's really funny. Really, 238 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,000 My favorite part about it was that I got to target some rand. 239 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,960 It was like a showcase we were doing, so I got to target some 240 00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:10,079 random person to be like the lady and the Red Prius who I'm arguing with 241 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,319 pre us. Yeah, it's the whole thing was it started with hey, 242 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,359 you lady in the Red Prius. Like it was really funny. But I 243 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,839 got to target my teacher, like my history teacher, and he's normally really 244 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,960 strict, so it's really funny because I was just like yelling at him, 245 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,799 and I was like getting really close to his face and like going, wow, 246 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,799 that's so cool. It's really funny. I love that. Yeah, 247 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,160 And I just don't feel like, I mean, because whenever he's having just 248 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,440 a hard time with school and you know, and I go, oh, 249 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,000 so, but and I would, I would change his school if that's what 250 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:49,079 he wanted. But the one school that he would want to change too doesn't 251 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,279 have any spots. There's a very long waiting list and other things. I'm 252 00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:57,720 like, I don't know how you're gonna right. He's kind of a big 253 00:18:57,759 --> 00:19:00,599 fish in a small part now, right, and then you go to be 254 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,680 a small fish in a big pond, which has its benefits for sure. 255 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:08,240 And I wouldn't tell him no if that's what he wanted. But we can't 256 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:11,640 get into that school right now. So you would be okay going to another 257 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:19,000 school without Sadie, I'm not. I mean, we've never done that, 258 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:26,200 right, So I mean, I'm not completely sure how i'd feel. But 259 00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,920 I mean we don't. I mean, I wouldn't say we see each other 260 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,599 too much, like at the school we go to right now, I mean, 261 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,480 we don't really hang out at lunch and we kind of hang out with 262 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,039 our respective people. But I mean, I haven't really thought about it. 263 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,720 I mean, I think i'd try it, but I'm not sure how i'd 264 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,839 feel when we're actually at separate schools. And what about the other school you 265 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,160 were at? It was a big school, right, How did you feel 266 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,359 about that middle school? Yeah? Yeah, I don't care if you say 267 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,119 the name of it, because you're not there anymore. Okay, I like 268 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:08,119 it. Or that's the one you started a month into eighth grade? Yes, 269 00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:15,079 okay, and Elbie went there, right, No, oh, so 270 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,440 they were at the school called Valley Charter, which is a charter school, 271 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,400 small school. This is where I used to complain about the school, and 272 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,480 people would be like, send your kids to a bigger school. But they 273 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,960 but when it came to middle school, they didn't want to go to a 274 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,279 bigger school. They wanted to stay at a small school. So we stayed 275 00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,920 at a small school. It didn't work out. Moved them to another small 276 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,839 school because of because COVID happened and the school they were at really was sucking. 277 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:44,279 I remember to this other small school then that wasn't then then that school 278 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,960 because sometimes the nature of very small schools is the people that are running those 279 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:55,160 schools. When when the head person the principal quit and was like wanted to 280 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,200 stay home with her baby, and then the assistant principal had already quit too, 281 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,599 and she was They were both like they were the reason the school was 282 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,400 great. So then it was like all these changes and they hired really basic 283 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,720 teachers and so and then Xanders and then we call your friend Lylewile Crocodile, 284 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,200 but we call them so Lyle Lyle Crocodile moved schools and Xander was like, 285 00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:22,160 I want to go to school with le Crocodile. So we moved and that's 286 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:29,160 when we went to this big school and then what happened. Okay, So 287 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,319 I'd say, okay, so there's I'd say, it's kind of like a 288 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,960 complete flip of how I feel about the school I'm at now because I think 289 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,599 the social parts of can I say the name, yeah that one? Yeah? 290 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,000 Okay, So I'd say, like the social I went to Portola, 291 00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:51,640 Like the social parts of it I thought were better because it was like a 292 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:55,640 really big school with a lot of different options. So it was like if 293 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,480 I didn't really want to hang up with this friend group anymore, there was 294 00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:03,519 like other people I could hang out with, and I didn't feel I didn't 295 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:07,839 feel like too much, like I didn't have people to hang out with at 296 00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:14,079 that school. The things I didn't like were like the academics and stuff. 297 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,759 I really disliked a lot of my teachers. Yeah, mister Zippity Duda, 298 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:25,839 mister Zippity Dooda. Oh my god, the nightmares, nightmare nightmares about that 299 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,160 guy. And then I was so close. I was so close to not 300 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:37,039 having this science teacher because she retired, like she like I was her last 301 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,680 year. Then she retired, but like really didn't like her. It was 302 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:47,240 really difficult to figure out how to like do well on her tests and stuff. 303 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,559 So I was failing them a lot until I started, like, you 304 00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:52,720 remember that, mom, Like I kept failing those tests even though I was 305 00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:59,000 like, I'm studying everything. She made him do a test like his first 306 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,920 or second day at school. I remember that they and then she was giving 307 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,720 him a hard time about it and how would he know anything that you've been 308 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,319 teaching, right, I remember that, Yeah, And then it was just 309 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,960 crazy. I'd be like going home crying because I'd be like, how I've 310 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,400 studied so much of what you told me to How am I supposed to do 311 00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:23,480 well on these tests? Until I just like figured out that there's a lot 312 00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:27,440 of the stuff she didn't tell us to study is what was actually on the 313 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,880 test. Suddenly I'm getting like ninety and one hundred percent on this freaking test. 314 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:37,880 And wasn't one of the teachers really mean to say d two? Was 315 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,400 it the math teacher or oh? Yeah, yeah? And then I had 316 00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:45,839 yes, the math teacher was That was when I had to write an email, 317 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,440 right, I had to. And then when we had the five oh 318 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,200 four plan meeting and oh yeah, lying in the meeting and telling me things 319 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:59,240 about how that was. You remember he was mister Zippity Duda was lying do 320 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,839 you remember the story and saying that you guys hardly had any homework, And 321 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,200 I was like the homework and it was like sixty problems doesn't sound like a 322 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,079 lot, but like the problems he was giving they were all like these long. 323 00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,240 It was it was it was gonna take like, yeah, it was 324 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:18,359 a lot. It was so much. Yeah, it was just you have 325 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,839 like one after another. I don't think you had. I think you have 326 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,559 like one teacher you liked. Yeah, I loved her. That's terrible. 327 00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:30,759 It's so because Italian Sonny, they've had teachers that they like, they don't 328 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:37,240 like this year. I think every teacher she has she loves, and it's 329 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,759 made a huge difference in her grades. She ended the school year, both 330 00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:47,640 of them with a's and b's because these teachers and this girl, they just 331 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,960 happened to get this one grade there, and they've been told like once you 332 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,359 get to you know, junior years, it's that all the teachers are great 333 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,400 and they like Natalie's like, mom, how when am I ever interested in 334 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,240 American history? Like? You know? She sits and she listens. She 335 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:10,480 they engaged and makes such a big difference when you have a good teacher that 336 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:15,240 loves their job versus somebody that's been there forever and is just collecting a paycheck. 337 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,240 You know. I mean, I crushed it anyway. So, yes, 338 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,640 you're I think you're a good student, right, Xander. Do you 339 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,279 want to go off to college? Of course I want to go off to 340 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,599 college. Good for you, thank you, Yeah, keep it up. 341 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,839 Any ideas of where you want to go? No idea? Nah, what 342 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,319 do you want to do when you grow up? Do you know? That's 343 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:38,759 a great question. The two things, like ideally like the two kind of 344 00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:44,279 fields. I'm looking at either comedy or music, That's what I'm I mean, 345 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,680 something something like snl oh really fun for me. I know it's like 346 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,119 very hard to reach and I get I get that. So I'm just hoping 347 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,480 to do like something that I love, like comedy or music. Well i'll 348 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,599 tell you at your age, if you stick with the comedy at the at 349 00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:06,839 the groundlings and you keep going, I mean, sky's a limit for you. 350 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,519 So um, in school, in like English class, they had to 351 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:15,400 do this project. And it's just kind of funny because I sort of relate 352 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,359 to this myself. But he wanted to write. They had to pick something 353 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:25,519 or they could write or you could do write a song or you could do 354 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,599 which one is this? Because we had like three this is the thing that 355 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,200 you won all he won it. So remember so he had they had to 356 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,160 write. It was about technology. Yeah, it was about like AI and 357 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:48,039 so we were my English My English teacher has an interesting curriculum. She likes 358 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,680 to teach things that sometimes don't always relate to English. So we had like 359 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,160 this whole we were learning about like chat, GVT and stuff like that. 360 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:03,119 So we had this. We had this kind of creative project where we just 361 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,759 had to do something relating like that relates to AI in any way. So 362 00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:10,839 it was like we could write a story. We could, we could. 363 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,920 It was like a lot of writing. We could write a song or anything. 364 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,079 Did you use the AI chat thing to just write it for you? 365 00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:23,119 Nope? Thank god. So Zander was trying to brainstorm what he wanted to 366 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,960 write, and I told him he should write something funny because he's really funny 367 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,599 writer. So and he was like, oh, I don't know, like 368 00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:37,319 and then remember then we okay. So there's this book called It's It's Do 369 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,200 you remember Plants versus Zombies the whole thing? Yea, yeah, remember that 370 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,359 plants versus Zombies. There was a book that was called like Crazy Dave, 371 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:49,559 Crazy Dave's Guide to like Zombie what to do if there's a zombie Apocalypse. 372 00:27:49,559 --> 00:27:52,240 It's like how to survive a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 373 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,440 something like that. So there was it was a really funny book that we 374 00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:59,400 used to all read when the kids were younger, and it's just just a 375 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,759 funny, like our sense of camer So I told Xander, like, maybe 376 00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:06,359 you could write something like that. But about like how to tell like a 377 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,799 guide if there was if like robots start like taking over or yeah. Good. 378 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,480 So he wrote this thing and he read it to me, and it 379 00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:18,480 was so crazy funny. I was laughing out loud. I think I came 380 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:19,920 in and told you about it. Yeah, Xander wrote this thing and I 381 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:25,200 was genuinely laughing out loud, like if an adult wrote it was. It 382 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,720 was making me laugh. And then he was like, I don't know, 383 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,880 like what people are going to think, and then tell us how, So 384 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,960 how did the so they had to vote on? Yeah, so it was 385 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,440 like it was mostly it was mostly stories. So I guess my English teacher 386 00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:48,400 printed out all of the stories and then we read them and then gave them 387 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,920 a ranking. We read them and so none of them had names on. 388 00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:55,079 Yeah, it was a pseudonym things, okay, so it was like anonymous 389 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,880 and then we read them all then gave them rankings like one through five. 390 00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,200 Yeah, my kids did this at one point, I think, yeah. 391 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:07,519 Yeah, and then we like narrowed it down to maybe like top three, 392 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,880 and then we did it again for then other class right yeah, yeah, 393 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,039 so we did it. We did for all the classes and then just like 394 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,799 narrowed it down to like the top ones in every class, then ranked it 395 00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:29,480 again until we just got one winner. Wow, and Gractually he was like, 396 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,519 oh, I don't think people liked it. Somebody was making fun of 397 00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:38,839 me. Someone someone was making there's always yes, that's what I told him. 398 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,279 I was like, oh, I mean it's not funny because somebody, 399 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,319 he said, he's so easily player hating him. Sorry, but he's like 400 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:51,480 somebody was like, oh, this one's like middling, right. He was 401 00:29:51,519 --> 00:29:56,720 like, one, that's ridiculous, and then he wore them. Yeah, 402 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:02,039 oh that's awesome, thank you. Hey, let's take another quick break. 403 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,680 I wanted to ask Xander, um I thought this would be good about some 404 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,160 like scandals like things that we you and I don't really know, Lynette, 405 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,279 because we're an old mom, yes we are. I mean we're not that 406 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:19,799 we're old for moms, but we're like we're older, we're moms, so 407 00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:26,119 we're not teenagers. I'm a mom. Why am I being left out? 408 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:30,839 Remember when you would when you and Albie and Sadie were being like when you 409 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,200 and Albie especially were being Christian moms. Really we had this, we had 410 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,240 this whole group chat like it was me Elbie, Sadie. We had this 411 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,920 whole group chat and it was just like the Christian mom group chat. Mom 412 00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:47,799 when you were looking at my phone yesterday seeing that, like Stacy was texting 413 00:30:47,839 --> 00:30:52,559 me, that's Albie's Christian mom name. Really yeah, So then Sadie's Flora 414 00:30:52,680 --> 00:31:00,880 like the contemporary Christian mom, and then I'm Christa a great name. Yeah, 415 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,559 we had this whole We had this whole group chat going on where we 416 00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:07,039 couldn't go out of characters and we just mean all these plots like going out 417 00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:11,559 for like Sunday brunch and stuff. Oh my god, the three of you, 418 00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:15,400 how cute. It was so funny. That's hilarious. Some of the 419 00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:18,200 jokes, like I don't even remember. This wasn't like twenty twenty one, 420 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:22,440 So you guys went to brunch? Did you go to after church? Yeah, 421 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,039 we can see. Let me see if I still had this. I 422 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:32,079 think it was just called Christian mom chat. They were all like freaking out 423 00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:37,400 because didn't one of them think their child was gay? Because we're not homophobic, 424 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,799 guys, player, this is your character. Yeah I forgot who, 425 00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:45,880 but one of us was like, really, one of us thought our one 426 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,200 of our sons was gay, and we're like freaking, freaking out, freaking 427 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,920 and then we would use like the crying laughing emojis and like the wine emojis, 428 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:59,319 wine class emojis constantly. That's funny, that's funny. But I wanted 429 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,720 you to exp playing something because um, Lynnette and Calin might not even know 430 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:06,200 about this, But so do you do? You know who? You know 431 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:13,000 who? Miranda Sings is? Right? Really I don't either. What ye 432 00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:15,960 should we make Caylyn play a little bit of like a Miranda Sings video. 433 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:22,480 Sure, we'll about explain it to people, probably probably. I mean basically, 434 00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:29,480 Miranda Sings was she was just like this big YouTuber like like for for 435 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,839 when my age like when my age group was like younger. She was huge 436 00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,640 on huge, Okay, she she was like she was like a memorable part 437 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,839 of the childhood of a lot of people my age. So she was like 438 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,559 this huge figure Miranda Sings. And so Miranda Sings, you can play like 439 00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:51,599 a moment of a old Miranda Sings video. I got a hook in that. 440 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,880 It's gonna take me a minute. Okay, never mind, it's okay, 441 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,640 no mine, I'll just explain it. Miranda Sings, So she was 442 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,319 this character like this pretty she she this pretty annoying character, like it was 443 00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:07,279 supposed to be annoying. And then the person behind Miranda Sings her name was 444 00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:12,279 Colleen Ballinger. She was like the person play I'm explaining this too much. 445 00:33:12,319 --> 00:33:15,400 She was like the person playing Miranda Sings, and Miranda Sings is like has 446 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,480 a really terrible singing voice. Colleen has a pretty singing voice, but Miranda 447 00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:24,480 Sings is like, think she's a really good singer about she? How old 448 00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:31,440 are these girls? Miranda ak Colleen now is like thirty six. She was 449 00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:36,880 probably like late twenties, early thirties, okay watching her got it? Okay? 450 00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:39,279 Yeah, so she was go on tour. I remember Julie Kayson took 451 00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:44,480 like her girls Miranda things and it was like a huge deal. She wrote 452 00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,160 a book that we bought. Wow. Okay. She also had a Netflix 453 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,519 show called Hater's Back Off. Oh okay, yeah I forgot about that. 454 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,920 Okay, So she was this big she started on YouTube. She was like 455 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:04,200 this big character. But now there's like this big drama. Why is this 456 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,159 happening with every giant YouTuber? It just turns out there all scumbags. Basically, 457 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:15,559 she is under a lot of grooming allegations. What. So I'm like 458 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:20,119 not an expert on this. I'm just like watching TikTok and YouTube. Yeah 459 00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:23,000 That's where I'm getting my source from. But okay, so she first of 460 00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:29,159 all, she's just done things like truck. She like went into her fans, 461 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:34,760 like underaged fans group chats like trauma dump about her divorce what and then 462 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,679 yeah, oh I didn't even know that one. Yeah, she went she 463 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,639 had a bunch of group chats with like her young fans where she would like 464 00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:47,440 go to like trauma dump on them about her divorce with this other YouTuber and 465 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:52,880 then she would make like inappropriate jokes and stuff. She sent this one thirteen 466 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:59,880 year old like used underwear on on some live video. She made a law 467 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,880 fans. Her tour things were like interactive, and she made a bunch of 468 00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:09,800 young fans really uncomfortable on the stage. Are you kidding? What's wrong with 469 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,360 this girl? What is wrong with her? I know? But so that's 470 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:20,920 really dark. But the big thing right now that's making this so different is 471 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:25,000 that she made a response, like like the famous apology videos, she made 472 00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:31,639 this apology quote quote. I'm quoting apology video because there was no apology, 473 00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:38,199 but she didn't talk. She sang it was Holly, it wasn't Miranda, 474 00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:44,360 it was Colleen. She went onto like the there's two separate channels. There's 475 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,480 like the Colleen channel on the Miranda channel. She went on the Colleen one, 476 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:52,519 just sat there looking moby for a second, brought out her ukulele. 477 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,239 Hey guys, it's Colleen. You haven't seen my face for a while. 478 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,559 I've just been dealing with her. And then she just starts singing this song 479 00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:09,480 called toxic Toxic gossip Train. What the hell where she's not apologizing. It's 480 00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:14,800 like a mix between she's saying it's all lies, but she she's like not 481 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,280 apologizing. She's saying, like all of this is a lie. She's like, 482 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,360 I'm taking accountability, but none of this is true, and I'm riding 483 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,280 the toxic gossip train. But didn't she actually say I've I've changed my behavior, 484 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,559 Like she did cop to the fact that she had to have been doing 485 00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:35,840 something, because she's like, I'm taking accountability and I've changed my behavior and 486 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,639 I've liked my saying everything is God. She's saying everything. She's like, 487 00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:44,679 I've changed my behavior, but everything's a lie. Oh my, like good. 488 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,360 And then she was like trying to play the victim for most of it. 489 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:52,559 Like she the way she wrote this entire song, like she she wrote 490 00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:55,679 this whole song with a chorus and even there was a bridge in there. 491 00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:00,320 She did some improv. She was ready. You know, it wasn't just 492 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,760 one take. You know, she had to like reds. It was she 493 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,360 had like her whole lighting set up and stuff. I don't know, I 494 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,679 don't know what was going through her head, like, but she just had 495 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,840 this whole song toxic Gossip Train. Some of the lines were like time me 496 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:22,599 to the tracks and harass me from my past. Wow, Like it was 497 00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:29,440 like it was insane. It was like buy buy a ticket to the toxic 498 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:35,079 gossip train. Or it's like spreading misinformation and stuff. But you, I 499 00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:38,079 think what you're you really have to understand is just how famous Miranda sings. 500 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:44,039 Yeah, like all of our listeners, every most people know, like immediately 501 00:37:45,039 --> 00:37:49,760 a huge scandal out there right now? Wow? And then did she get 502 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,639 like arrested or anything for this? No, there's no maybe nothing yet. 503 00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,199 I mean it was I mean being canceled. That's like augh, that's the 504 00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:02,280 tough subject. Because of course no one's gonna like her, but she's still 505 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:07,239 gonna be making money. So she's really like canceled. Yeah right right, 506 00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:10,519 But then again, is she she's not even that popular anymore anyway, right 507 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,639 or is she? I mean she's she is like on a decline, like 508 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:21,599 no one really look, people more know her from like the past, but 509 00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:27,559 she still has like a platform like ten point seven million subscribers on YouTube still 510 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:36,440 wow my god. And then she has like a bunch on TikTok and Instagram. 511 00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:38,360 It's and then she has like two channels she has, like the Colleen 512 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:43,719 one and the Miranda one. It's just combine. It's Colleen, her her 513 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,639 altar. And so Miranda is like the character she's playing. Call he's the 514 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:52,400 actual person. Okay, I want to see if I could, so Miranda 515 00:38:52,519 --> 00:38:55,039 sings as her. He's her stage name or it's her like, yeah, 516 00:38:55,079 --> 00:38:59,440 it's her character. Yeah that she does, got it? I bet you 517 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,880 If I google of the name Colleen, it's gonna be the Colleen Ballinger is 518 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,960 the very first thing that comes up. Wow. Yeah. Crazy. So 519 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,719 it's like her entire thing was supposed to be an apology, but she didn't 520 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,079 discuss anything like one of the lines was I'm just gonna focus on the facts, 521 00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:21,320 and then she gets into none. She gets into nothing about the facts, 522 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,039 doesn't even address the things that were already like they were screenshots of her 523 00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:31,400 conversations with these children on like these group chats she did she sent that young 524 00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:36,880 thirteen year old boy underwear on a live video. So she was saying that 525 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,039 she was focusing on the facts, but I addressed none of the facts and 526 00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:43,360 just said everything was a lie. But I'm sorry guy, Like she was 527 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,400 like, I'm sorry and taking accountability, but it's all fake. Story in 528 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,840 the La Times right now is Colleen Ballinger's ex husband reacts to grooming claims, 529 00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:55,400 and then the Independent has an article about all the grooming allegations against Colleen Ballinger 530 00:39:55,519 --> 00:40:01,800 who created me Miranda sings, and then somebody guitar euro player shreds Colleen Ballinger's 531 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:07,119 apology video. Really oh, I learned how to play it on guitar too, 532 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,119 That's hilarious. I'll be on facetimes with my friends and I'll just randomly'd 533 00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:15,760 be like, hey, guys, it's me Xander again. I haven't been 534 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:20,119 on this FaceTime for a really long time. I've just been dealing with it, 535 00:40:20,159 --> 00:40:22,920 because that's her intro. She like just starts talking. She's just talking, 536 00:40:23,199 --> 00:40:28,840 and then suddenly she's like, but all aboard the toxic gossip, train 537 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,519 me on the tracks, and harass me from my past. These rumors look 538 00:40:34,559 --> 00:40:37,320 like facts if you don't mind the gaps. It's so oh my god, 539 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:44,840 wow horrible. The funny thing is she kind of like she likes to pretend 540 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,840 that some of its improv She'd like pretend like she's thinking and then suddenly she'd 541 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,480 like going out with the whole other verse. There's this moment like maybe like 542 00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:55,400 twenty minutes into the video or she acts like she's about to end it. 543 00:40:55,480 --> 00:41:00,280 She's like holding the camera, then she puts it down. She saw eyes. 544 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:05,880 She's like, you know what comes out with this whole other verse? 545 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,280 She like acts like she just had like a bunch of inspiration as she was 546 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:14,039 turning off the camera, and she was like, just because people make mistakes 547 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,320 doesn't mean you're a bad person. Isn't that crazy right? And I'm like, 548 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,480 Miranda, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like a lot of people 549 00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:27,360 haven't made a mistake this big. Yeah, but this isn't like, this 550 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,119 isn't the mistake that this isn't like I don't know, yeah, this isn't 551 00:41:31,159 --> 00:41:35,880 some small mistake that doesn't make you that person. I mean the fact that 552 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:42,440 she gave an underage kid her underwear on the screws more that she did, 553 00:41:42,519 --> 00:41:47,039 but I'm weird. It was so weird to google this shit. It was 554 00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:53,000 like worse that. I mean, YouTubers are notorious for making horrible apology videas, 555 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,079 but this one has to be the worst. I mean, there was 556 00:41:57,159 --> 00:42:00,519 this other one. It was like this TikToker, like Sienna may or whatever. 557 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:07,199 She was under these like sexual assault allegations against this other guy, and 558 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:14,719 her great decision was to make an interpretive dance and are you kidding? It 559 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,039 was like the reason why it's better is because she actually somewhat apologized, but 560 00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:24,440 it was mostly just like her doing like choreography, like her Chorea. She 561 00:42:24,559 --> 00:42:29,440 it was her doing her interpretive Chorea, like on this on this camera, 562 00:42:29,559 --> 00:42:35,119 like under a sunset. That's insane.
