WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.200 Stuck at home board and alone. 2 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.320 You'd think I could have some fun. 3 00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:10.720 On my own, but not all. 4 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.719 I af with Cecily and Stephanie. 5 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:23.359 What's up, everybody? Welcome to board a FU. We're recording 6 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.320 this a little bit early, so if the world, you know, 7 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.399 spins off its access, you'll understand. Oh it already, did 8 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.200 it already spun off its here's the thing, it does 9 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.840 it even more? I mean, look that, but that's what 10 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.679 That's not what the show is like. Our show is 11 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:43.840 not talking about invading and capturing presidents of other countries 12 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.560 or an American gestapo. 13 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:48.840 We talk about things. 14 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.560 Just became all politics. I've loved politics, but kind of uninformed. 15 00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.880 Just I mean, that's fucking brilliant. Okay, sind the curtain. 16 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.520 We will just rage listen to us. It's like we 17 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.959 have a lot of opinions. And then they're like, what, no, 18 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.000 did you guys even really do you even know the history? 19 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.920 And we're like, no, we don't. You know? What peak 20 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.599 behind the can I share a peak behind the curtain, 21 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.120 which is that we sometimes get curious as to what 22 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.120 people are listening to, and recently we were like, who, 23 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.640 what are the biggest podcasts? And we looked it up 24 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.000 and him like this shit some bullshit like political nonsense, 25 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.000 and then I had the bright idea. I'm like, what 26 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.319 why don't we do that? And then that that is 27 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.840 what you're saying we could do sort of an uninformed 28 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.239 just too ladies Gavin about Venezuela. That could be the 29 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.239 name of the podcast, very specific. We don't really We're like. 30 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.319 What's that guy's name again that they have and his wife? 31 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:45.519 Now? 32 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.319 Who are they again? 33 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.680 And we don't know, We don't like and I can't 34 00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.599 my phone's not working, can't really look it up. It's 35 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.879 like we just don't like the idea of just going 36 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:58.879 in and like helicoptering a guy out. That's crazy to me. Yeah, 37 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.879 and it is kind and crazy though, why can't then 38 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.239 other countries do that to us? Why do we think 39 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.200 we can just go and do that in Venezuela but 40 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.280 they can't come do that to us? Like what isn't 41 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.319 another country come in and just pick you know, like 42 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.599 you know when you go to like an arcade and 43 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.319 they have those little arms. You pay and you have 44 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.759 a little arm that can pick up the toy. Yes, 45 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.199 you can use that little mechanical arm. Clag game. Yeah, 46 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.400 it's very hard. Why can't they claw game Trump? I'm 47 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.919 not even kidding, or anybody that they want for any 48 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.960 re Like, why why can't Denmark do that? 49 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.439 I'm not even kidding. It just occurred to me, like, wow, 50 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:36.520 why can we do it? 51 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.800 I don't know? But who do we ask? I guess 52 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.759 one of those political podcasts that's doing very well. We 53 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.560 could phone in, Hey, you guys have a phone line. 54 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.039 We have questions. No there, I don't think there is 55 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.439 an answer. I think you can't do that. You definitely 56 00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.039 can't do what he did. You're not so no, and 57 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.800 the nuts and then no one's saying and no one's 58 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.479 doing anything. Everyone's feeling like wait a minute, because then 59 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.520 we can't even catch our breath from the last thing. 60 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:10.400 This is how it happens. 61 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.159 And then you're like, but what about the whole thing 62 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.560 where we just invaded a country that we'd not even 63 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.719 mentioned was an issue? Wasn't like a world war, right, 64 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.680 where we go in and fight a war and then 65 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.599 win or lose? 66 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:23.879 But like what? 67 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.840 Well? I Sometimes stuff too comes across where you're like, 68 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:34.680 did you know that Trump said that aliens stole the election? 69 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.639 Aliens as in like alien space aliens. 70 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.919 Shut up, No he didn't. Yes, what do you mean 71 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:42.639 he meant a. 72 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.639 He meant like illegal, that's how he calls them. Uh okay, 73 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.360 did Trump did mean space? See, this is exactly what 74 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.840 our show is going to be. You're going to say 75 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.719 something like that, and I'm like, the he meant he's 76 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.719 an idiot. He meant like not undocumented people. But he 77 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.439 would call them illegal aliens because that's how they used 78 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.439 to call them. But let's see. The Guardian says Trump 79 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:16.360 would have believed aliens stole votes. Key Ally reportedly told jury, uh, 80 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.360 let's see if they mean he definitely doesn't mean space. 81 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:26.040 First of all, look, homeboy crazy, this is exactly the 82 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.519 pot you guys get ready, I was space aliens. But 83 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:34.000 maybe this is says According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, 84 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.879 they put out a good podcast. By the way, an 85 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.879 unnamed juror described Senator Lindsey Graham and a close Trump 86 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.680 ally as saying, during that time, if somebody had told 87 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.680 Trump that aliens came down and stole trump ballots, Trump 88 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.680 would have believed it. Well, that's just something that somebody said, right, 89 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.160 But that then that became that got into the zeitgeist. 90 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.639 I don't hate it. I don't hate it. Zeitgeist is 91 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.079 the right word. And uh, yeah, this is what our 92 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.639 show is going to be. What do you think? Do 93 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.439 you guys like it? Or yay your nae? 94 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.399 Do you love it? 95 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.360 Because like, listen, tell your friends. We already already had 96 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.240 to google something. This was the whole podcast. It shouldn't 97 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.199 be a podcast that no one would listen to where 98 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.720 people are just saying things and then having to google 99 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.360 whether it's the stupid podcast. 100 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.040 When you ever listen to that. He does that constantly. 101 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:26.879 I was shocked. 102 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.160 Yeah, I like watched clips used to come through until 103 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.920 I turned off, until I blocked the algorithm and uh 104 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.439 and they're like, yeah I would. He would google everything 105 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.120 all day and take long time doing it too. Yeah. 106 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.600 So kind of sometimes dumb shit too, like like we 107 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:52.399 did just now right, like dumb shit speaking of oh 108 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.759 you know what you know what's not dumb ship?

It's not It wasn't anything crazy, 139 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.600 but it was the kind of thing that would I know, 140 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.720 you'll get this, like it's really going to annoy you. 141 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:40.319 It's really gonna annoy you. 142 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.319 And it's one of those things that like, I'm sure 143 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.720 you're gonna be on my side on this. I want. 144 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.759 One of the things about being bored af is and 145 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.519 I've had to I've had to recognize this quality in 146 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.319 myself over the years. I think I like to be annoyed. 147 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.120 Oh me too, I think sometimes, yeah, that's. 148 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.439 But it gives me something to like chew on. I 149 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:04.360 like I like to complain. And what maybe people don't 150 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.600 realize is I like to complain because I think it's funny. 151 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.079 I think it's fun and brings people together to complain 152 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.600 about the same thing. But I don't carry it around 153 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.560 you know that I can, I can let I can 154 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.519 have fun and process a complaint. And I think more 155 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.439 people should embrace their annoyances. 156 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.759 I one percent agree with that one percent. 157 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.040 So I'm always going to be on your side if 158 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.680 you I know, of course, the on this Now, all right, 159 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.799 this lady, it doesn't matter her name, but she is 160 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:38.600 a lady. She posted on threads this is so annoying. 161 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.320 She posted like a picture of someone holding up a sign. 162 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.279 You know, it's like a meme or something, and it 163 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:49.039 just says, think fast, what's nine minus four plus two 164 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.879 times two? Hey, you guys, if you're playing at home, 165 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.080 go ahead and write that down nine minus four plus 166 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.879 two times two. First of all, I hate this shit. 167 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:57.879 We used to talk about those quit you know, those 168 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.039 things was like if the yellow man talks to the 169 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.519 orange man and the what you know, like Simus is 170 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.039 like what color was the umbrella? Oh? Shut up? But 171 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.559 also the problem with math is that most of them 172 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.159 have to do with it. You know, I'm a person 173 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.879 who's read a ton of these on Facebook and try 174 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.600 to figure them out. But what is that rule? And 175 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.000 now when at Google pendas I get to it. I'm 176 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.960 going to get to it. Just trust me. Okay. So 177 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.960 first of all, I'm annoyed that that's even coming through 178 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.039 my threads. That is not and I'm I'm sad that 179 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:29.559 I engage because now I'm going to get a. 180 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:30.000 Lot of these. 181 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.759 This person writes, this person puts that up there, right, 182 00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.440 and they write the answer is nine. And the amount 183 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.639 of people arguing against that is honestly terrifying and says 184 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.120 a lot shut up, what is never made. 185 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.759 You're the least. You're the least. I hate you the most. 186 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.759 I mean even maybe even more than Trump, honestly, if 187 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.720 I'm honest about this. Okay, So I write a lot 188 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.480 of there's a lot of comments, and a lot of 189 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.399 people are arguing. 190 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.840 They're like, no, it's one, it's fourteen, you know whatever 191 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.360 they're saying. 192 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.159 So there's hundreds of five hundred comment I write, hey, 193 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.240 gen X are here. If they had tried this shit 194 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:06.960 when I was in school, I'd have stood up and 195 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.679 said I'm not doing this. Okay. 196 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.720 So then somebody writes back to me, Penn. 197 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:14.879 Does was taught to you in school and you just 198 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:19.879 don't remember apparently, Oh my god, now I'm kind of 199 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.720 mine's a joke sort of also I'm like, yeah, And 200 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.039 I thought about what I would have done in maths, 201 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.279 and I probably would have stood up and been like, yeah, 202 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:27.919 I'm not doing this. 203 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:28.320 Amout. 204 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.720 Somebody else had a funny there's a funny story about 205 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.240 that in a second. But I was just like this 206 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.120 is this is crazy. So then I wrote I was 207 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.120 trying to be nice, and I wrote I swear this 208 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.559 was not taught to me. Maybe not a Texas thing, right, 209 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.320 And so then this really pissed me off. The same 210 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.440 person wrote back, No, I have gen X family that 211 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.600 went to school all over Texas, so you have, like, 212 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.960 what an aunt that went to school all over Texas? 213 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.440 Not you yourself. You're young, you don't know what I'm 214 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.879 talking about, and said it was definitely taught. Also, I 215 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.080 have parents in their late fifties early sixties, and it 216 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.039 was taught back then too, So you absolutely learned it. 217 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:06.879 You just don't remember. 218 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.519 For some reason, I heard that, which. 219 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.279 I'm gonna unheart now. I don't know why I heard that. 220 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.440 Then this guy popped in to help me. He was like, yeah, 221 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.440 Michigan native here gen extra as well. I went to 222 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:21.679 both private and public schools. Never was I taught heemda's right. 223 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.600 Then the other person popped back in, yes they did, 224 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.320 Yes they did. They likely just called it order of 225 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.279 operations or or bob Ma's. 226 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:36.120 Shut up, shut up, like are you kidding? 227 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.879 So then this guy wrote, heemdas is now Bobna's Well, 228 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.279 I have all my report cards from the seventies and eighties, 229 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.679 so I'll review them. I mean, this is just like, 230 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.440 why are we fighting? Then she writes back, I assume 231 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.840 it's a she. It's the same thing, just another name. 232 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.240 It's been referred to as over the years, and there's 233 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.200 so much more of people like fighting with me that 234 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.120 like I know, but not you know who's not fighting 235 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.440 with me? Or gen xers who went to school in 236 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.799 Texas who actually were in those math classes, who one 237 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.960 hundred percent was not taught that, which I should explain 238 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:06.600 what that is? 239 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.879 What we're you even talking about? 240 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.039 Yeah, it's the order of operation. I guess maybe they did, 241 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.720 but not at arts, not at my performing arts high school. No, 242 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:14.200 they didn't. 243 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.600 We had other things. 244 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.440 To worry about, and I promise you it was not 245 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.960 that we had mine and movement. 246 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.080 I did not have time to think about multiplication. I'm 247 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:23.720 so mad. 248 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.440 I suld I hate that deep, but well, do you 249 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.759 know how to get out of a box? 250 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.919 No, you weren't taught that, were you? What's more important? 251 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.960 How are you? First of all? In what world? Does 252 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.000 it matter? Who's going to be like think fast nine? 253 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.320 Mine is four plus two times two? How am I 254 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.600 going to have to apply that swear to God in 255 00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.279 everyday life? 256 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:42.320 You don't. 257 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.399 That's just a made up problem that we don't. That's 258 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:47.919 just gonna fuck with our brains. I am so a 259 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.759 fan of like learning and learning Shakespeare and the greats, 260 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.480 and learning how to write well, and learning math. That's 261 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.840 going to like help you in life. But that even 262 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.080 if you were going to be like an astrophysicist or 263 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.519 an engineer and you need math like you don't need that. 264 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.919 That's just like a word problem that makes no sense, 265 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.759 I guess. And they didn't know at the time that 266 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.360 you know, I think I did. I'm sure I did 267 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.440 learn pem dos at some point, So it's pem dos 268 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.360 I'm calling it. I'm pest was silent in my Yeah, 269 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:20.159 peen dos makes more sense. You're making it. That show 270 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:25.519 Penis that was I love. I thought it was thirteen thirteen, 271 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.879 me too, really, But here's the thing. Back at the 272 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.960 time that we were learning, we had to learn it, 273 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.039 nobody could have predicted that we would never need You 274 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.840 would never Can you imagine if like a a nuclear 275 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.080 physicist was just hand figuring out the math like yo, 276 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.320 that you would not. You would be so upset if 277 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:45.919 someone was like, no, no, no, no, I know how 278 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.559 to do this. I have all these formulas memorized. I 279 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.840 can just do it in my head. Better. No, use 280 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.399 a calculator, please, for all of us, use a thing. Also, 281 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.360 nobody's going to give you that thing. It's like, okay, yeah, 282 00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:59.440 this is very care like. If you don't do this right, 283 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.960 it's gonna or whatever. Right which nine four plus five? 284 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.879 Which way? No, you're going to give the exact Also, 285 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.000 the way we did it back in the day, it 286 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.240 wouldn't be nine mightus four. 287 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:09.639 It wouldn't. 288 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.600 There's no parentheses. I think maybe we had parentheses around 289 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.399 stuff and they didn't really talk about the order because 290 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.159 it was just told to you in the formula. You 291 00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:18.799 looked at it and you're like, okay, so I'm supposed 292 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.039 to multiply that and then I do that or whatever. 293 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.080 And even then I didn't care because I'll never care. 294 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.120 I will never care. I think you just need basic 295 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.480 math to be able to like add up you have 296 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.399 some Let's say you got checks from a couple different places, 297 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.600 you work at, Trader Joe's, you work at you know, 298 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.399 a couple things. You got to add up what you 299 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:42.039 need that like, Yeah, basic basic math is all you need. 300 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:45.080 The rest is complete bullshit. And I hate it, and 301 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:45.879 I'm and I'm. 302 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.679 Not trying to sound like I'm not trying to sound 303 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.759 like an idiot, but it's dumb. Let me tell you 304 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:57.360 this little story, story time. Okay, And I've probably since 305 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.559 we've been doing this show for five years, I'm sure 306 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.000 that come up sixty six years. It has to have 307 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.919 come up at some point. I just did basic math 308 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.159 real quick. Six years. 309 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.600 That is important. You can do back that way. 310 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.039 So when I was in and I'm thinking this was 311 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:17.759 ninth grade. Ninth grade is when approximately when you do algebra, yes, 312 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:18.559 or for me. 313 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:21.080 Eighth grade, I think for me, and I hated it. 314 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.879 Well, my teacher's name was Miss Rosie, and this was 315 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.159 the year maybe this was was this could this have 316 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.639 been tenth grade? It could have been tenth grade as 317 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.039 far as as as more as maybe this was like 318 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.480 algebra two. Okay, so I think I might have had 319 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:42.080 geometry in ninth grade and then algebra two. I remember 320 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:46.399 it being impossible for me. I did not understand it. 321 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.080 And I had this teacher who was so mean, and 322 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.720 her name was Miss Rosie rozz I in case you're listening, 323 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:59.200 I hated you. She was just like a military what 324 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.360 you know, it really mean. And I always remember feeling 325 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.000 so dumb in math, like just just everybody gets this. 326 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.240 I don't understand. I would look around the room and 327 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.399 people would know what they're doing, and so I just 328 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.600 kind of gave up on myself, you know, I was like, well, 329 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:18.360 I'm not going to remember this one. One time I 330 00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.960 got caught cheating in there because I wrote the formula 331 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.639 on my hand. Not that I didn't have the answers. 332 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:25.639 It's because in real life, you could have the formula 333 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:27.679 on your hand. If that was your job, you would 334 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.919 have the formula, right. And we've all heard all the 335 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.120 stories about my memory, which has never been good. I've 336 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.120 never been a person who could memorize a lot of stuff. 337 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.559 So just whatever, whatever, Maybe it's an add thing. I 338 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.279 don't know, but I had trouble memorizing, so I wrote 339 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.440 down the formula on my hand. Ms Rozzi saw. She 340 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.120 caught me, brought me up to the front of the room, 341 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.720 sent me to like the principal's office, you know, gave 342 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.960 me a zero on my test. But I really kind 343 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.519 of gave up on myself in math. And this story 344 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.639 is going somewhere, and I remember that I would get 345 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.519 a test and I would be like, I'm not I'm 346 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.559 not studying for this. I'll never remember these formulas. I 347 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:09.920 got caught cheating in here at one point, so I 348 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.720 would just not take the tests. And then she would 349 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.839 take my paper and give me a zero and a 350 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:19.079 big red zero and show it to the class and 351 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:20.920 then crumple it up and throw it in the trash. 352 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.759 What which fuck? Okay, Like, I guess since I wasn't 353 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.640 taking the test, and your attitude was like, well, screw 354 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.960 this student, I'm going to make an example of her. 355 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.920 But here's here's the ending to this story. I felt 356 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.400 shitty about myself in twelfth grade in I had I 357 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:42.799 ended up having to take like remedial math in order 358 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.359 to graduate high school because I had failed. I'd failed 359 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.400 that math class, so I had to take something kind 360 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.920 of easy. But here's the here's the thing. Not long after, 361 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.039 when I was like nineteen and I had moved to LA, 362 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.000 I got a job at a movie theater. And I, 363 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.880 I think I've told you this story before. I worked 364 00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:04.079 at the Egyptian movie Theater on Hollywood. I did not 365 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.319 know that because we've never I worked in a movie theater. 366 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:07.759 Did we talk about did you have to wear the 367 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.160 bow tie? I didn't have to wear a bow tie, 368 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.400 but I had to wear a white shirt and black 369 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.640 pants and black shoes. And I only had white shoes. 370 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:20.000 And remember they fired me because I couldn't get the 371 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.599 right color shoes. I actually don't remember that. I feel 372 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.599 like I would remember that you worked at the Egyptian 373 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.799 and so this is information. Oh well, I literally needed 374 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.160 a job immediately upon like getting an apartment, so I 375 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.839 had no money. So I walked down the street and 376 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.160 I got I got a job at selling office supplies. 377 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.440 But I also literally walked down the street there was 378 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.440 a sign help wanted in the movie theater, walked in, 379 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.279 got a job. But then they immediately said you need 380 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.279 to have black shoes. And I didn't have any money, 381 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:51.519 so I was like, well, let me get a paycheck 382 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.799 that I'll buy some shoes. But anyway, I was the 383 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.440 only person who could do math fast enough because in 384 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.480 those days, the cash register didn't automatically. You had to 385 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:02.920 add it up. 386 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.359 Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah. I went to the movie 387 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.400 theater too. That was hard. 388 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.279 Yeah, well I was actually good at it. So that's like, 389 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.839 fuck you, miss Rozzi. Because basic math is different than 390 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.079 memorizing algebraic equations. Here's on mater it I actually needed. 391 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.960 I had to be able to add up Hey, how 392 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:23.039 much is two red vines, a large popcorn and a 393 00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.920 small diet coke. Well guess what. I could do that 394 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.640 math in my head pretty easily, and none of my 395 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.759 coworkers could. So when there was a big rush and 396 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.640 they were like eight deep with customers, I was the 397 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.519 one they called over there. Hey Stephanie, go clear this 398 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:39.319 line because I could do the math in my head 399 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:43.720 really fast. So yeah, it doesn't matter like all of this, 400 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.839 like you need to be able to do this to 401 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.480
