<v Speaker 4>Presently?

23
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Not that long.

24
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing it all online. You can do like a

25
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 4>week long course. You can also do it in like

26
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 4>a weekend like it's a lot very expensive, but I'm

27
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 4>doing just a self paced online situation. It's pretty awesome.

28
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, we were talking off the air with Secretary Brie,

29
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>and I hope you don't mind me bringing this up,

30
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>but you I am leading this somewhere. You were heavy

31
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 1>as a kid, I was, okay, So I wanted to

32
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 1>ask you in the most respectful way if you are

33
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a parent and your kid is getting heavy. Let's say

34
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>she's eight years old or he's eleven, and they're like husky,

35
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>because that's what we used to call him when I

36
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>was a kid, was the.

37
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 4>The jeans are called husky.

38
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>They used to have a brand name called husky, like

39
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>it's sears or something like that. So what what is

40
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a good way? Because let's face it, if you have

41
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>a husky, I do it partly tongue in cheek. Kid,

42
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 1>you probably don't want them to face that. So I'm

43
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>going to start with this, what is as a bigger

44
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>kid and growing up bigger? Was that challenging for you?

45
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:03.120
<v Speaker 4>For sure?

46
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

47
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 4>And then I think just I think there's just shame

48
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 4>that goes with when you're young, you don't know what's

49
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 4>right versus wrong necessarily, and you're trying to learn those

50
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 4>healthy habits, And it's just I don't know, it's just

51
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 4>definitely a delicate, delicate balance I think between having a good,

52
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 4>honest conversation and doing damage.

53
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think that's my next point is, like, if

54
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>you've got a kid who's getting bigger than you're, like, eh,

55
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>she's putting on a little weight. She's eight years old

56
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and she weighs this, how do you approach an eight

57
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 1>year old or how do you what do you say

58
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to a fourteen year old who's you know, maybe thirty

59
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>pounds overweight without destroying that self esteem or whatever it

60
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>might be endangering.

61
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 4>Right, I think it's so hard. I don't know.

62
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you necessarily need to have a conversation

63
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>with an eight year old like hey, buddy, you're getting big,

64
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>because then isn't that partially on you as a parent

65
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>to like feed them better and like get them more

66
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>exercise opportunities. So that's not necessarily a conversation with like

67
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>an eight year old versus like if you're sixteen and

68
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>you do have a little bit more like wherewithal and

69
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>agency than maybe having a conversation with that person versus

70
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's like eight, Absolutely what did.

71
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 1>You hear from your parents if anything? When you know,

72
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 1>not a lot.

73
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 4>So I didn't live I only lived with my mom

74
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 4>growing up, and there wasn't a lot of talk about it,

75
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>but there would be like the subtle I don't know

76
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 4>if we should have that or you know, little things

77
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 4>like that. I didn't have a lot of tools though.

78
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't in sports other than basketball for a little bit.

79
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 4>I didn't have a lot of healthy activities that I did,

80
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 4>and I think that was a big contributor. Absolutely.

81
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it genetic also where mom and dad I maybe

82
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit.

83
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 4>I was definitely much bigger than either of my parents

84
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 4>ever were when I was like in my twenties and

85
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 4>early thirties even Okay, yeah, so.

86
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>How did it affect you? I mean, were you always

87
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>like going, oh, people are looking at me.

88
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 4>I worried. I think about like, you know, the plastic,

89
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 4>white plastic picnic table chairs, those cheap ones. Yes, if

90
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 4>you'd ever go to an event or get together and

91
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 4>those were the chairs, it was like a moment of panic,

92
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 4>not like I'm not gonna fit in that chair, I'm

93
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 4>gonna break that chair like that kind of stuff. Not

94
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 4>being able to fit on a roller coaster ride. Like

95
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 4>I stopped going to amusement parks because I had one

96
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 4>time where I had to get off because it didn't

97
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 4>fit and it was devastating.

98
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Yea, yeah, never so sad.

99
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what did you do? If I can ask and

100
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't, you know, like if you don't want to answer,

101
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>what did you do to cause you're thin? Now?

102
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? So I actually I had weight less surgery eleven

103
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 4>years ago. I had the gastric sleeve. Okay, yeah, and

104
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 4>I would do it again in a heartbeat.

105
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I think, yeah, I know somebody who had the gas

106
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>tricks something or other. Beth's mother sure was always a

107
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 1>little bit heavy. Then she got up to I think

108
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and sixty five pounds and then she had

109
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the surgery. And I'll be honest with you, I was

110
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 1>a little bit annoyed because her insurance paid for it,

111
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, you ate your way into that problem.

112
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 1>But maybe I'm just being a because I can be

113
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of a dick. But she then ate her way

114
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>back through the gas sleeve and gain back everything. Is

115
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that is that?

116
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely absolutely, If you don't fix some of those problems,

117
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 4>you just binge eat yourself right back into you stretch

118
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.319
<v Speaker 4>it right back out and you absolutely get the way back.

119
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>One more question, why is everything that is so delicious

120
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>bad for us? Breathe, go ahead.

121
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I wish I knew the answer, and I wouldn't have

122
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 4>chipped my tooth on a nerds rope this morning.

123
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Are you serious?

124
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 4>I ate a frozen nerd rope on my way in

125
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 4>the corner of a tooth that I've been perseverating on

126
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 4>all morning.

127
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it looks like Jim Harry and Dumb and Dummer.

128
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that wow. Well, thank you, Brie, we appreciate it. Emails,

129
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>which is the basically the main body of the Minnesota Goodbye,

130
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's get started. Aaron writes in wanted to chime in

131
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>for the listener, worried about naming her baby the same

132
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>as a distant family member. What was the name they get? Jack? Jack? Yeah,

133
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>so they came over with the name Jack and then

134
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>they said, oh, well, you can't name Jack Jack because

135
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>your cousin Katie has a kid named Jack. In my family,

136
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>I've got two uncle Dan's, two cousin Megan's, and two

137
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>cousin Ryan's. One set them a mom's side, other on

138
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a dad's side. And yes, they are within the same family,

139
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 1>and the only differing factor is there's also a Caitlin

140
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>thrown in the mix. There's also a cousin Kate and

141
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a cousin Katie that Mary. As far as I know,

142
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>nobody cares. Nobody cares, and we often get Dans and

143
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Ryan's together. Makes it confusing for my significant other, but

144
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>got a big deal.

145
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if they existed before, like the two parents

146
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>got together, though, because then if it's like ones on

147
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>dad side ones on mom's side, Well, we both had

148
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.639
<v Speaker 2>a cousin Ryan at the time, so obviously you're gonna

149
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 2>still have it and no one will care versus having

150
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>one exist and then you name the other one the

151
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.199
<v Speaker 2>same name as someone who already exists.

152
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, yeah, probably a little bit different, Aubrey

153
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>writes in First Time Writer. So sorry this is if

154
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 1>this is not the correct way. No, it's fine. I

155
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>was listening to the Minnesota Goodbye episode where Dave talked

156
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>about orkin people I worked for Orcan, and I showed

157
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>my bosses the episode where you guys talked about Orcan Porno.

158
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it traumatized them. Dart Lick, dart Lick. Aubrey

159
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the Orcan woman. What did we say about organ You said,

160
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>what did I say?

161
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I think you just made a joke

162
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>about the kind of porn you watch, and you said

163
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 3>all the porn like the orgon.

164
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Man shows up and it's like, oh, I'm here to

165
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>get rid of your infestation.

166
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you said kind of started it.

167
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 1>You gonna stop me once in a while.

168
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, when you get on those weird post the

169
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 3>best my favorite version of you.

170
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Actually, Thank you, Aubrey. Next one, another staff writer wrote

171
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Other Day says Shannon for about birthday spankings,

172
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 1>and she said she was in first grade in nineteen

173
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>ninety five. Shit, I'm old. That's when I grab wait

174
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>from high school. But back to birthdays at school, I

175
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>remember everybody able to bring in homeroom treat homemade treats,

176
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 1>not like Jessica's mom who was going to poison the

177
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>d not like Jessica's mom was going to try to

178
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 1>poison the entire second grade class. Yet it was in

179
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 1>fact a treat. What sucked was my birthday is June

180
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifth, so no school. Well then they would normally

181
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 1>celebrate your half birthday. Damn, that's Christmas so no school again.

182
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I always got screwed. But lucky for my mom because

183
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 1>she's not little miss Sally homemaker, and my treats would

184
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>have been just a bummer. That's all for today. Lickety

185
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Dart lickety by from Shannon. I remember they used to

186
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 1>call him room mothers back when I was a kid,

187
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and at the beginning of every school year, they would,

188
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, ask for a couple of volunteers to become

189
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>room mothers. And they were the ones that would come

190
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:57.879
<v Speaker 1>assist on party days like Valentine's Day or whatever, Halloween,

191
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and the room mothers would bake cookies or brownies or whatever.

192
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

193
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Volunteer, yeah, a volunteer, Yeah, but they would call hers, yeah.

194
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>And room mothers would come on birthdays and whatever. But

195
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I remember very clearly having birthdays in like third grade,

196
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'd be so excited because my mom was going

197
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to come this afternoon and she's bringing cookies for everybody,

198
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 1>and so she'd bring in a tray of cookies and

199
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>they'd hand out milk and all the kids was sing

200
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Happy Birthday, and I remember being very excited about that.

201
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you one traumatic story, and I've told you

202
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.799
<v Speaker 1>this before, the first time I was, I was probably

203
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in a kindergarten or so maybe younger, and my brother

204
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>was about five years older than me, and he was

205
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>having a birthday party in his room. So my mom

206
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 1>was a room mother and brought ice cream bars, so

207
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>the stick with the chocolate wrapped around the ice cream.

208
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>They handed me one, and it was mostly thowed because

209
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>it had not been in the freezer, and I was

210
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>about to take a bite and the whole damn thing

211
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>plopped onto the ground, and I was so upset because

212
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I was a little boy and I'd never had one before.

213
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 1>I remember the sixth grade girls were all like, oh, David,

214
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, And I was like, did you have birthday

215
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 1>celebrations when you were in school?

216
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 2>We definitely had like where you could still bring in

217
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 2>baked goods. I do remember that, And now that you

218
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.000
<v Speaker 2>say room mothers and describe who they are, we definitely

219
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 2>had like the same like three moms come and volunteer

220
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 2>for like before Christmas and like Valentine's Day, the ones

221
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 2>where we had like the big party in class. But

222
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I remember specifically like if somebody had a parent, come

223
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 2>in and have lunch with them, like in the cafeteria.

224
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 2>That was the biggest damn deal in the entire school.

225
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>You'd be like, oh my god, Ashley's mom is here

226
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and she brought McDonald's for her and Ashley to eat.

227
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gut. It was like the coolest thing to

228
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 2>have ever happened. When really looking back on your like,

229
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.919
<v Speaker 2>that was cool.

230
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, that's funny because when when Carson was in elementary

231
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>school one through five, I would go once or twice

232
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.879
<v Speaker 1>a year and go have lunch with him, and he'd

233
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 1>be very proud, and he would and his friends that

234
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you know when you when you're a certain age third grade,

235
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.399
<v Speaker 1>you giggle and make jokes and you know, with with

236
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 1>somebody else's parents or whatever. But then I went one

237
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 1>time in fifth grade and I sat with him and

238
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>all of his boys and they were quiet, and I

239
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 1>could tell I was killing their vibe because here was

240
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>an adult figure that kept them from making titty jokes

241
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and fart jokes and booger jokes. So they all sat

242
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 1>there and politely ate, and I knew that was that

243
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>was it, And I no.

244
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>More past that.

245
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm so jealous of summer birthdays though, by the

246
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 4>way back, having a January birthday awful. Yeah, awful, so cold,

247
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.600
<v Speaker 4>nothing to do, no pony ice skate sled yep, that's

248
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 4>like it. Yeah, maybe a roller skating. There's no water parks,

249
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.480
<v Speaker 4>there's no amusement parks, there's no camping, there's no I

250
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.720
<v Speaker 4>have my husband is a July birthday and so jealous.

251
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.639
<v Speaker 1>That, yeah, so jealous because in the summer you get

252
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 1>to have like the kids come over for a slip

253
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and slide or run through the sprinkler or you know whatever.

254
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 4>So many choices.

255
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I winter, you're like in the thick of the

256
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.960
<v Speaker 2>school year, we had one of my speech team kids,

257
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 2>it was her birthday the other day and we just

258
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>all sang to her on the bus and that was

259
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 2>all that she got.

260
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Lame. That was it, oame lame. Uh. Let's see, we

261
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>got a couple more here, Amanda writes in and by

262
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the way, the address is always Ryan Show at katiewb

263
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>dot com. I want to share my story about skipping

264
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 1>school and getting caught middle school. I'd spontaneously decided to

265
00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 1>stay home or walk to the bus stop and just

266
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 1>kept on a walking. My mom went to work at

267
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the same time, so I knew she wouldn't be home.

268
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I walked back home and thought I was in the clear.

269
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>About ten minutes after school started, my mom called my phone.

270
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Now I didn't think about what would happen after the

271
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>school called my mom, but my mom was then texted

272
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>me was very upset, saying that she was coming home

273
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>to look for me. I didn't think about the fact

274
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that she would think I got kids. I decided I

275
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 1>was going to hide in a box with stuffed animals

276
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.879
<v Speaker 1>that were we were donating brilliant, I thought. My poor

277
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 1>moms racing around our house panic looking for me. She

278
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 1>decided to call my cell phone, which gave away my location.

279
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>She was so mad. Probably a year or two later,

280
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I had the same idea, but I hid under my

281
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>bed and put blankets and clothes in front of me.

282
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 1>She found me the same way. That damn phone didn't

283
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>learn my lesson. Looking back on it, I feel so

284
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>bad for putting my four poor mom through that. I

285
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>am twenty five now and she is my best friend.

286
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Stay warm out there from Amanda. I used to fake

287
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>sick a lot.

288
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, did not go in.

289
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Once every two months. Oh that I didn't want to

290
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.919
<v Speaker 1>go in, Yeah, because it was so fun to stay

291
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.519
<v Speaker 1>home and watch prices right, yep. And I remember one

292
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 1>time I told my mom and said, I don't want

293
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to go to school. Okay, we'll stay home because she

294
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.039
<v Speaker 1>was very permissive. And Donna, my sister, who was probably

295
00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.879
<v Speaker 1>ten years older than me, she got up and she's like,

296
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>why are you not at school? And I said, I'm

297
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to school. So I hid in a closet

298
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 1>and I could hear Donna walking up and down the hall, David, David, David.

299
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 1>She couldn't find me, and then she finally had to

300
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>leave for work or whatever it was. And I got

301
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 1>away with it. But I skipped school. I mean fake sick, sure,

302
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit.

<v Speaker 2>I never once faked sick in my life.

304
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think Vaughn asked us on the podcast last

305
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 3>week if we skipped school, and Bailly and I were like,

306
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.960
<v Speaker 3>way too good of students, Yeah, that we we just didn't.

307
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 2>I went to school on days that were optional because

308
