• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Granny, are you high?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It's one more thing. Armstrong and Getty.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: One more thing.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Before we get to Granny, are you high? Which is
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: just an awful scenario. So my youngest is going to,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: he started high school. And it just also happens to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: be his first time of going to regular school full
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: time his whole life. For a variety of reasons I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: won't get into. So he's got, he missed out on
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of not only the educational stuff, which I've
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: gotten him caught up with over the years with private
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: teachers and stuff like that. You can't catch anybody up
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on the social stuff. He missed out on many, many
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: years of the social interactions and all that sort of thing.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So I've been trying to help coach him through that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't really know what to say about this one
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: specifically yesterday. So they played some sort of volleyball or
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: something like that in gym class. Boys against the girls.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Boys win. Game's over. He says to one of the girls,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: they're walking back to the locker room. He said, nice game.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: She said, fuck off.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And he said, what is that? Like, why'd she do that?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Or what am I supposed to say?
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: It's a bad attitude is what that is.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Or she thought he was being sarcastic. Hard to say.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Or she was just bitter. Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It is hard to say.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I also, one of the things with
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: being an older parent is I'm a full 40 years
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: removed from kids that age.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think any girl would have, if I'd have
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: said nice game, would have ever said fuck off to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: me when I was in high school. No girl I
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: went to school with. I don't think.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: There, I can remember several.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I meant it, if I wasn't, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: he wasn't being sarcastic, but.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I can remember several girls.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I think even if I was being sarcastic. Anyway, sorry, Katie.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: No, that just had a really bad attitude.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: And, you know, you know, especially like during soccer and basketball,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: we line up and you good game. You high five
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: the other team after the game.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: There were, there were girls that, Just were so bitter
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: about the loss that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: They wouldn't do it or they'd bring their hand up
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: so they didn't have to high five the other team.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: It's just a bad sportsmanship.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Well, there's no doubt we're a much, much coarser society
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: than the last time I was in a high school,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: which again is a long time ago. uh so i
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: just you know i still have in my mind what
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that was like and it's changed little by little over
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: many many many years that we're a course of society
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you hear that sort of language in public in a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: way that you did not when i was that age
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: so part of it is that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's that's true i suppose i mean it's it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the modern go to hell or yeah i guess with
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you or a pox upon your name i guess if
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you want to go far enough back it's the attitude
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that's more curious to me.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Unless I'm wrong I can't imagine some girl telling me
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to go to hell just after making a comment like
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that but anyway I don't.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Know if someone came to me and said.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Would you rather go to high school or could I
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: cut off your left hand I'd say take the hand.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Give me a nub I don't care take them both
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I'll learn to hold a spoon with my toes right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Wow good lord That's a little insensitive toward the handless. Wow.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That's funny. I didn't have such a negative experience, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I also went to a pretty small high school.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: So did I.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But you did too. I don't know what percentage it is.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I know lots of people that would say the exact
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: same thing Katie and I just said. I also know
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: lots of people that they loved it. So I don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: know what the percentages are. I have no idea if
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: it's 50-50, 90-10. I have no idea.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are aspects of it I really enjoyed, but
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I was sure as hell done with it when it
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: was over. Oh, my God. I couldn't wait to get out.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'd rather step in front of a moving car. Hopefully,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: it's going very, very fast than do high school again. Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: So that was how much I enjoyed it. How about you, Michael?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Where are you on it?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I'm like Joe. Some of it I liked, but most
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: of it, especially my junior and senior year, I was
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: ready to get out of there.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I didn't know what to say.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I said, well, some people are miserable and it's got nothing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You didn't do anything wrong. I've used this line several
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: times already after a week of school, you did nothing wrong.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So don't worry about it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. People are weird.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's got to think it drives him. Cause he's,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: he's always had his whole life. And this is a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: challenge for him. He worries way too much about what
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: other people do that have nothing to do. I mean, it's,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you know, it's classic mind your own business. And, uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Like in gym class, they're supposed to run over this
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: hill and then the runaways are supposed to run to
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: a thing. But you go over a hill where the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: gym teacher can't see you, see you. And a lot
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: of people go over the hill, stop, wait a certain
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: amount of time and then run back rather than running
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the entire distance. And it drives him nuts. And because
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: he's a rule follower like I am, he runs the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: whole way and runs back. And I said, you're doing
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong. You know, that's their choice in life. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: it will either work for them or it won't. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you're doing nothing wrong.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I remember my dad used to say to me, like
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: when big stuff would happen, he'll go, Kate, in 20 years,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: you're not even going to remember this.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: That's a good one.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: And I can remember him saying that to me, but
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I cannot remember what the situation was he was saying
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: it to me about, but it was life shattering at
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: that moment.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: That's funny. You can remember the advice, but not the event,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: which was his point.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yep. And 20 years is probably an unnecessarily long horizon, too.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, 20 weeks, please. It's like you're always saying
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: about Jack when you're on vacation, these big news stories,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you miss them and it doesn't matter. Oh, yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I think I was roughly a freshman or sophomore in
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: college when I was slapping my head and thinking, why
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: did I ever care so much about that back in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: high school? It didn't take long.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Part of it, I think, is anthropological, though, because, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: somebody made the point that If a teenager says to you,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this is the most blank I've ever been, it is. Sure.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: This is the most in love I've ever been. This
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: is the most heartbroken I've ever been. This is the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: hardest thing I've ever done. It's true. And so it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: looms large in your caveman brain as an experience that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you really need to make a note of. Mm-hmm. When
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you realize with a little perspective that you're going to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: have a million experiences, and that's just one of them,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and it'll be fine.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: So many of the cool kids end up being losers
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: in life.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, when they peak in high school.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. So true.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: So true. I've got many examples of those.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And some that actually did well in life, I've found
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: ways to sabotage them online and hurt them in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: modern world. Spread terrible rumors, that sort of thing.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: God, I've got a horrible schadenfreude on one of those. Like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I have no connection with anybody I went to high school.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I haven't spoken a word to anybody I went to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: high school with. since graduation night for 99 of them
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: and then there's a couple i've talked to a couple
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of times 40 years ago but none of them said
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: so i just have no friends from high school or
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: connection with them and i know that's unusual but i
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: just got nothing um but somehow and i can't imagine
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: where it was because i've never looked into it i
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: don't remember most of their names i have no idea
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: where anybody ended up or whatever they did for the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: most part or anything like that at this point and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: uh but somebody one one of the like star pupils
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: or whatever crossed my path. And I, I saw what
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: he's doing and where he is. And I was like, wow.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And a terrible, terrible, not Christian, immature schadenfreude sort of way.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Relatable.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Come on. I do not approve.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I can remember him. He was such a dick. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: remember him belittling me specifically one time over a grade
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I got on a test and he got on a test.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: He was such an effing dick. He was the most
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: pompous dick I've ever met in my life. And finding
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: out he's not doing very well at all, especially compared
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: to me, was very satisfying.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Again, not admirable at all, but completely understandable. Yes, indeed.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: There's one guy I went to high school with who,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you know, as soon as I... you know, put high
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: school in my rear view mirror. I was absolutely certain
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he would be dead or in jail, like for good
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: within five years. And I've tried using the power of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the internet to, to figure out what happened to him.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And I can't find him on earth. And even if
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he'd croaked, shouldn't it be in some newspaper article somewhere?
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: If he was.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Sentenced to something, I just, I can't find him at all.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's your Senator or something. I doubt that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. No, he was so headed for, like,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the penitentiary. Yeah, which is too bad when you can
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: see that coming. Oh, 100% certainty.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: That's rough. Any idea what his home life, not to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: take all the fun out of this?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure it was awful. I had clues.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: That's its own weird thing, too. I know this one guy.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I could name him. I only know what he's up
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to because one of my brothers keep track of the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: people that went to high school like normal people. This guy,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: he had an awful home life. I had quite an
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: inkling of it at the time. He was like raising
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: out with his younger brother one time and he showed
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: up where we are like, what are you doing here?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: We have school tomorrow. He was like having to be
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the parent to his younger sister. and he had a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you know he had to take over from his loser
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: parents and uh and he is he ended up being
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: a cop and successful having a family guy it's funny
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: how that some people go that direction some people go the.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Other and i have no idea why yeah yeah i
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: i have a vague memory of uh of his dad
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: was involved in crimes somehow. And, and this guy was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: good with his fists cause he had to be, um,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it was that situation, but yeah, but he was mean,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he's mean as a snake, but you know, that sort
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of life will make you mean.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: In, in a lot of cases. Yeah.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: So anyway, still enjoyed my gym teacher. I think I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: told you guys the guy who was smoking the van
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: as we ran around. I loved him.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: That's a good story. Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: He's probably long gone. And plus there was a kid
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: named Chris, uh, And he called him Cecil. You got
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: it wrong. You got it wrong on the first day.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Cecil.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And the poor kid was called Cecil by the whole
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: class for the rest of the school year.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: That's pretty close.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a permanent nickname. I'll tell you what.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: That's a life-changing event right there. The gym teacher called
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: me Cecil, so here I am half a century later. Yep. Cecil.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. You know what? I'm going to try one
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: more time to Google the guy. Hang on, see if
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I can find anything.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Have you done people search? Have you ever done people search,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: which we often talk about with incognito?
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: If it doesn't work, Joe, I tend to be very
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: good at finding people online.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: All right, hang on a second. I've got to concentrate.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Dario Amodi.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: What a loser.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: What about anything?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Cecil.
