SPEAKER_02: All right, welcome to another episode of Absolutely Not, another podcast.
0:04
SPEAKER_02: Spoiler alert, we're doing this back-to-back episode.
0:06
SPEAKER_02: So my voice is still shot from the Steeler game.
0:09
SPEAKER_00: And I'm wearing the same outfit if you're watching.
0:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I changed my hat.
0:13
SPEAKER_02: So we have to back-to-back it because we're at a wedding this week.
0:16
SPEAKER_02: We're traveling and in Chicago.
0:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and we've just been so busy, I feel like we're prepping for like the kids are starting their preschool this week.
0:25
SPEAKER_00: So our schedule's gonna change.
0:28
SPEAKER_02: They're very in our daughter's first day of preschool.
0:32
SPEAKER_02: Like our son's gone two years now.
0:34
SPEAKER_02: I don't know how she's gonna fare.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: I know.
0:36
SPEAKER_02: She wants us there.
0:37
SPEAKER_02: She keeps mentioning.
0:38
SPEAKER_02: She doesn't want to go without us.
0:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're like, you're going to school.
0:41
SPEAKER_00: And she's like, Are you gonna come with me?
0:43
SPEAKER_00: And we're like in the drop-off line.
0:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: And their school does drop off line only.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: Like you can't really like you could walk them up.
0:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: But I feel like that would be more emotional for her.
0:53
SPEAKER_00: Like, I would rather just do the drop-off and get her used to that.
0:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
0:57
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I'm gonna be a little sad because it's like we don't plan to have more kids, so it's like the last first day.
1:04
SPEAKER_02: But then it's I feel preschool's preschool, but when they actually go to kindergarten kindergarten, that's gonna be the tearjerker things.
1:12
SPEAKER_02: I want to do those like special things that I see a lot online of they'll have them interview interviews for each of their first day of kindergarten, first grade, all the way until they graduate high school.
1:25
SPEAKER_02: That's just remember I'm not gonna bookmark that.
1:28
SPEAKER_02: Bookmark that.
1:29
SPEAKER_02: I do want to do it.
1:30
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm excited for them to.
1:33
SPEAKER_02: They're not their classrooms are right next to each other, they're not going the same time, but they're I feel like attached at the hip.
1:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:42
SPEAKER_02: So they're gonna have two days.
1:44
SPEAKER_00: Well, actually more days because Tyson will be doing four days, yeah.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: So they're gonna be spending time apart, which I think will be good for them because right now they're like a little ornery with each other.
1:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they they love each other too much.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
1:58
SPEAKER_02: So they're growing up, they're getting old, and our story today is about a high school reunion.
2:05
SPEAKER_00: So that's what we're I planned my I hoped.
2:07
SPEAKER_02: I didn't, I wasn't the only one, but I assisted in the planning of my 15-year high school reunion because we did not do a 10-year, because our 10-year was during COVID, so we had to pivot and make it a 15-year reunion.
2:20
SPEAKER_02: We had it at a very great place, it's called Foster House 2.
2:26
SPEAKER_02: There was an original Foster House.
2:28
SPEAKER_02: I love Foster House, Foster House 2, same space, great sandwiches.
2:33
SPEAKER_02: It's mentioned it in maybe one of the first episodes we've ever had.
2:37
SPEAKER_02: They have better permanent style sandwiches.
2:40
SPEAKER_02: 100%.
2:41
SPEAKER_02: They're called King Sandwiches, Deluxe.
2:44
SPEAKER_02: That's my high school reunion story.
2:46
SPEAKER_02: All right, next segment.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: I've never um I didn't go to my high school reunion.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: I don't plan to go.
2:52
SPEAKER_02: I don't think we're gonna do another one until probably 30.
2:56
SPEAKER_02: Maybe I'll go to the maybe a 25.
2:58
SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
2:58
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
2:59
SPEAKER_00: Yes, I'm gonna dive into the story today.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: Um, and it's about a 20-year reunion.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: So a few more years than us.
3:07
SPEAKER_00: Um, there comes a time in your life where you will be invited to your 20-year high school reunion, and you can choose to attend or not attend.
3:13
SPEAKER_00: I made the grave mistake of attending, and I don't think I'll ever return after the traumatics that went down at my small town high school reunion.
3:20
SPEAKER_00: For the sake of the story, I'll call my high school Evergreen High, and we will call the culprit of all the dramatics Brad.
3:26
SPEAKER_02: Oh, Brad.
3:27
SPEAKER_00: I debated going to my high school reunion, not because I didn't like high school, but because I had completely moved on and really was not in touch with anyone from high school anymore.
3:35
SPEAKER_00: Maybe a couple of my girlfriends that I used to cheer with.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: I was friends with some others on Facebook, but I had moved away after school and never really looked back.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: I moved back closer to my hometown about eight years ago.
3:47
SPEAKER_00: You also have to know that I dated the high school quarterback in high school, and he definitely peaked in high school.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: The meltdown he had at the reunion will validate that for you.
3:59
SPEAKER_00: You also should know that I am happily married to my husband, Tim, and we have four beautiful children together.
4:05
SPEAKER_00: Tim is an extremely laid-back guy and was excited to attend my reunion.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: He wanted to learn a little bit more about me from high school.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: And at the very least, he said there was an open bar and some dancing, so it was sure to be a good time.
4:17
SPEAKER_00: We got our babysitter and treated it like a date night, and we headed to the reunion.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: When we arrived, I could tell that this was going to be a lackluster night, or so I thought.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: Our old class president was there checking everyone in.
4:30
SPEAKER_00: Is that normal?
4:31
SPEAKER_00: For like the class president.
4:33
SPEAKER_02: No, and well, Cody was our class president.
4:35
SPEAKER_02: I don't think he did any check-in.
4:36
SPEAKER_02: It was more of a Well, you guys didn't.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: Yours wasn't like formal where you got name tags.
4:41
SPEAKER_02: No, no.
4:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
4:41
SPEAKER_02: No, there wasn't like hello, my name is.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: This one had that, I think.
4:45
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: Our old class president was checking everyone in.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: We put on our name tags and we headed into the gymnasium, which they had decorated similar to our prom from 20 years ago, which you guessed it.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: I was the homecoming queen and Brad was the homecoming king.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: I honestly hadn't talked to that man since I graduated high school.
5:03
SPEAKER_00: It was a young love, and we broke up before the end of the year, and I definitely moved on.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: Went off to college, never looked back.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: I saw a few familiar faces and I introduced my husband to them.
5:13
SPEAKER_00: We were eating and mingling with a bunch of other people in the class.
5:16
SPEAKER_00: The night was shaping up, and I was getting a buzz.
5:19
SPEAKER_00: That's when the smoke machines started to go off, and some weird rock song came on, and a man walked out on the stage and started jamming out on the guitar, saying things like, Evergreen highs, quarterback is in the house.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: He began singing a cover of White Wedding.
5:38
SPEAKER_02: Good choice.
5:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: That's when I put two and two together that the man on the microphone was Brad.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: Apparently, he never left the town and was the lead singer of a hometown 80s cover band.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: It was a sight for sore eyes.
5:50
SPEAKER_00: I honestly started laughing to myself, and I had to explain to Tim that that man up on the stage was my high school boyfriend, and he started laughing too.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: I do have to say the band played about four songs, and all of them were pretty enjoyable.
6:02
SPEAKER_00: The thing that got me laughing was that you could tell Brad had a toupee on.
6:06
SPEAKER_00: Every time he was moving his head around, the toupee was flying up.
6:10
SPEAKER_00: It was comical.
6:13
SPEAKER_00: After their short set, Brad made it down onto the floor where he still had that microphone and he was pumping everyone up, getting us ready to sing our high school fight song.
6:22
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember any of those words.
6:23
SPEAKER_00: So I turned to Tim and I told him, hey, let's head over to the bar.
6:27
SPEAKER_02: Do you know your high school fight song?
6:29
SPEAKER_02: No.
6:30
SPEAKER_02: I know my alma mater.
6:31
SPEAKER_02: I don't know the I don't even.
6:34
SPEAKER_00: I don't even know if I I don't even know if I remember what the tune was.
6:38
SPEAKER_02: I know what mine was because I did it at my sister's wedding.
6:42
SPEAKER_02: And I was just doing the like but there was people in the audience because it's a lot of it was a lot of people from my high school there that graduated from my high school, and everyone was singing it with the words.
6:54
SPEAKER_02: I didn't know there was words, I just remember the band doing it.
6:57
SPEAKER_00: I don't even think I knew the words in high school.
6:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it made us learn the alma mater.
7:03
SPEAKER_02: So, but I probably don't know it off.
7:06
SPEAKER_02: I might.
7:09
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
7:10
SPEAKER_00: I know, I know we had both of what you're saying, but like I didn't, I could not tell you.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: Couldn't tell you, couldn't care either.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
7:19
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I relate to this person a little.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: She's like, didn't have a bad time.
7:22
SPEAKER_00: Just need to go, yeah.
7:24
SPEAKER_00: Don't care.
7:25
SPEAKER_00: Um, the whole time you could just hear Brad referring to himself as All-Star QB.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: Nobody ever called him that, by the way.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: And mentioning that he couldn't reconnect with everyone.
7:34
SPEAKER_00: Okay, we're over at the bar, and that's when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
7:37
SPEAKER_00: And Brad eventually made his way to Tim and I.
7:39
SPEAKER_00: I knew this encounter was going to happen.
7:41
SPEAKER_00: I just didn't sure how early in the night it would happen.
7:43
SPEAKER_00: He immediately said, I saw you in the crowd immediately when I got on the stage.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: Why are you avoiding me?
7:49
SPEAKER_00: I laughed it off and I introduced introduced him to my husband Tim, and that's when Brad aggressively tried to shake his hand, and he kept telling my husband, Don't I know you from somewhere?
7:57
SPEAKER_00: You look so familiar.
7:59
SPEAKER_00: My husband reassured him that he wasn't from the area at all, and we had met in college, so there was probably no way that he knew Brad.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: Brad got progressively drunker by the minute, pounding beers and building a beer pyramid on his table from afar.
8:12
SPEAKER_00: It seemed that Brad went up to every single group of people that were talking and tried to reconnect.
8:17
SPEAKER_00: They all said hi and then moved on with their conversation.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: And he really wasn't included.
8:22
SPEAKER_00: I guess he wasn't the catch he used to be in high school.
8:24
SPEAKER_00: He finally came back around to Tim and I again and he said, I know, I know you.
8:29
SPEAKER_00: I used to beat you guys in football all the time.
8:31
SPEAKER_00: My husband again reminded him that he was not from the area, so there was no way that he would have played football against him in high school.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: And then he challenged my husband to a toss-off.
8:41
SPEAKER_00: My husband is not one to shy away from an athletic challenge.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: He played baseball in college, so he said, sure, why not?
8:47
SPEAKER_00: Other people were participating too.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: But you could tell that Brad was mainly trying to throw the football further than my husband.
8:53
SPEAKER_00: It was his main goal of the night, which was a complete fail because at the end of the night, my husband threw about 12 yards past his throw.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: But again, we're all just laughing and having a good time.
9:02
SPEAKER_00: It was not a real competition to anyone, at least not to us.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: Then he challenged my husband to an arm wrestling competition, which my husband gracefully bowed out of.
9:11
SPEAKER_00: Brad then proceeded to get on the microphone and say, although he didn't win his dream girl back in high school, he clearly was talking about me, the one that got away, that he knew he would win the arm wrestling competition, even if he went up against my husband.
9:24
SPEAKER_00: He was so sloppy drunk, at this point we were all kind of annoyed, and the night was beginning to die down.
9:29
SPEAKER_00: People were gathering their jackets and starting to depart, and that's when Brad got back on the microphone again and asked everyone to stay for a few rounds of karaoke.
9:37
SPEAKER_00: Everyone kind of shook their heads and started heading home.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: He decided to do something crazy because that's always what Brad does for attention.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: He jumped off the stage and body slammed the table, except for when he did this, he seriously injured himself.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: Broke the table.
9:53
SPEAKER_00: The paranex paramedics had to be called and he had to be wheeled out on a stretcher.
9:57
SPEAKER_00: Not as phone, not his finest moment, but again, hilarious.
10:01
SPEAKER_00: Turns out the high school reunion ended up being funnier than I thought, but I do not plan on returning, and I hope to never see Brad again if I don't have to.
10:09
SPEAKER_00: I guess that's true.
10:11
SPEAKER_00: Like he that man peaked in high school.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: Some people are like that.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: They like identify so much with what they were.
10:19
SPEAKER_02: I've I didn't think our class reunion had that.
10:24
SPEAKER_02: The one that I went to.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: There wasn't anyone of I don't know, that was very like pompous and acting like how of a bee's niece they were back in high school.
10:34
SPEAKER_02: There was a lot of people.
10:36
SPEAKER_00: We didn't like a lot of- I feel like yours was more of like a casual meetup at a bar, like just catching up.
10:41
SPEAKER_02: Like it wasn't as we had a DJ, we had the food, we had the bar, but like we weren't it wasn't the space was almost it wasn't as big as this room, it was a little bit bigger than that, but yeah.
10:52
SPEAKER_02: We've had it for a few hours, and then if you wanted to hang out still with like the public area, we had a space for it.
10:58
SPEAKER_02: But you could I think mainly we did it because we didn't have a 10-year people were asking for a 15.
11:05
SPEAKER_02: I yeah, I'm not in any rush to plan another one.
11:09
SPEAKER_00: I feel like my class had one, but we probably lived in Florida at the time, and like we went to a wedding with some people from high school, and I think they mentioned that it was like just at a bar, probably similar.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: So I feel like if we if I would have gone to something like that, it probably would have been like cool, yeah, nice to see you.
11:26
SPEAKER_02: It's like mine was back in my hometown.
11:28
SPEAKER_02: We go there often, we don't live far away from there, but it wasn't a I don't know.
11:35
SPEAKER_02: I feel like when it comes to reunions now, you know what everyone's up to because there is social media.
11:41
SPEAKER_02: So you stay connected to the people you are connected with, and that you like I have good friends feel best friends from high school days, and and good acquaintances that I can follow along with their life, and I'm sure they're doing the same thing, reciprocating that towards me.
11:56
SPEAKER_02: That when you go, if you were someone without social media, like our parents, they probably didn't know what they have.
12:04
SPEAKER_02: Jim Bob and Sally were up to until they got together to reunion.
12:08
SPEAKER_00: I also feel that my experience is so different because the school that I went to was not a hometown school, like it was a private school and not close, not super close to where I live, like 25 minutes.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: So my friends aren't from my hometown.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: Like the people I went to high school with, like some of them lived 25 minutes the opposite direction.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: So we're really like an hour from each other.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: Um and so I don't even run I I don't even run into anyone to be like, oh, they went to my high school.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: I don't see them when I even go visit my parents at home, never see anyone.
12:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think what is it?
12:40
SPEAKER_02: Like Slippery Rock does it as a university, maybe 25 years they might invite people back, or every there's like certain pockets of time they bring you back for homecoming week as a class of.
12:54
SPEAKER_02: We probably have some time until ours because it's been 12 years.
12:58
SPEAKER_02: So we if we had one, it was the 10 year, but I don't know.
13:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:03
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, high school, I don't know.
13:07
SPEAKER_00: I also feel like people back in the day I would say identified with their high school more.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: The pride of that, yeah.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like my parents both still talk about their high school experience, and like a lot of my dad's like good friends are like from from high school, and then they like w ended up all going to the same college together.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: Like it's maybe it was just me, but like my experience was different.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: So I'm I don't feel like any particular tie.
13:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like my parents went to the same high school that I went to, and you know, they've been in the community their whole life.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: Your parents are like a high school love story, yeah.
13:43
SPEAKER_02: So like probably were like high school sweethearts, yeah.
13:45
SPEAKER_00: They were like high school sweethearts, like married young, like together all this time, still together.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: They have a big family.
13:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: So like your parents are probably people like that.
13:53
SPEAKER_00: If they go to the reunion, like they're like, Oh, we're gonna see them.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: We always see them.
13:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, meanwhile, they probably see them at the down the street, down the street at the musical or whatever club they go to and grocery store catching up with them that way.
14:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:06
SPEAKER_02: Or for us, I'll see a random person at you saw one at the Steelers.
14:10
SPEAKER_02: At the Steelers game.
14:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a girl came up and was like, Are you so on?
14:13
SPEAKER_02: So I was like, I am.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: That is me.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: That is me.
14:16
SPEAKER_02: She's like, Oh, I went to the same high school.
14:20
SPEAKER_02: But she was a few years younger than me.
14:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't remember her name.
14:23
SPEAKER_02: I was just like, Oh yeah, good to see you.
14:24
SPEAKER_02: Who are you?
14:25
SPEAKER_02: How are you?
14:26
SPEAKER_00: You were talking to her, I was about to have my heat stroke, so I just like went to my feet and I was like, I need to sit down.
14:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but no, it's like it's great to like catch up with someone when you see them on the fly.
14:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're somewhere that you wouldn't expect to see a person you went to school with, and you can catch up with them that way.
14:42
SPEAKER_02: You don't need a reunion for that anymore.
14:44
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's fun to have a party.
14:46
SPEAKER_02: There's no I don't have like I have no problems with having a reunion because it's always good to just like celebrate something.
14:55

28:43
SPEAKER_00: Me.
28:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
28:47
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's necessarily gullible, but whenever I like I edit the podcast on your computer because you have the software, and I go on there and I look at the tabs, and it's what's the difference between AM and BM?
29:01
SPEAKER_02: Or what's the difference between PST and CST?
29:05
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, guessing that's like you know that early on.
29:10
SPEAKER_02: Embarrassing.
29:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
29:11
SPEAKER_02: And you did it like multiple times.

29:30
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
29:30
SPEAKER_02: And then there's mountain time.
29:32

29:38
SPEAKER_00: That was never the situation.
29:40
SPEAKER_02: No, never.
29:41
SPEAKER_02: I've run into issues where it's been like I I I feel like we'd actually discussed.
29:46
SPEAKER_02: You did this when you did the event and it was like well, that's happened where the event was like in a different time zone than they gave.
29:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
29:54
SPEAKER_02: Or it was there's I think it might be a GST, wherever that's at, but it's also could be GST in a whole different location.
30:02
SPEAKER_02: And I think I put on the calendar as GST of the different GST.
30:06
SPEAKER_02: There's one like that.
30:08
SPEAKER_02: But I had a lot of clients that were in Europe that you just would have to either wake up super uh early or have to do the event super late because it would be first thing in the morning for them.
30:21
SPEAKER_02: So it is what it is, it's just the nature, nature of the beast, I guess.
30:27
SPEAKER_02: Time zones gullible to you.
30:30

30:40
SPEAKER_02: Great movie.
30:42
SPEAKER_02: Would you uh this or that?
30:43
SPEAKER_02: Would you relive freshman year or senior year high school?
30:48
SPEAKER_02: Senior year.
30:48
SPEAKER_02: Senior year is a pretty easy one.
30:50
SPEAKER_02: Like you're just like kind of still a little pup, your freshman year.
30:53
SPEAKER_00: I feel like, at least in my experience, it's like by senior year, you have like your set group of friends, because like where I went, we were all meeting each other for the first time, freshman year.
31:01
SPEAKER_00: You just have like better friendships, and I think you're like more confident in yourself senior year.
31:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
31:06
SPEAKER_02: And like, I don't know, you're doing you might not get to play.
31:12
SPEAKER_02: My high school freshman year, you got you had like a freshman football team, freshman basketball.
31:16
SPEAKER_02: So you did play.
31:17
SPEAKER_02: But like playing in the big leagues.
31:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
31:21
SPEAKER_02: Like getting a good roll in a show.
31:23
SPEAKER_02: Being the person on the morning news.
31:26
SPEAKER_02: It went to upperclassmen.
31:27
SPEAKER_02: So when you get to be an upperclassman, you get to do all those cool things.
31:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you get like the perks of being an upperclassman.
31:32
SPEAKER_02: When you get to the last like month of school, you do your senior project, and then you pretty much are just doing whatever.
31:40
SPEAKER_00: What is a senior project?
31:42
SPEAKER_02: You didn't have one?
31:44
SPEAKER_02: I don't I I don't remember exactly what we had to do.
31:47
SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
31:48
SPEAKER_02: But you had a senior project that was like one of the last things you did.
31:53
SPEAKER_02: At least at my school, we did it.
31:54
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
31:55
SPEAKER_02: You had the SAT, you had the ACT.
31:56
SPEAKER_02: The senior project was like the my high school's last thing besides the stuff that can get you into college.
32:04
SPEAKER_02: And you had to do it on maybe a career that you were looking at doing.
32:08
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay, okay.
32:08
SPEAKER_02: Do I remember what that career was?
32:10
unknown: No.
32:11
SPEAKER_02: Don't remember.
32:12
SPEAKER_02: It probably isn't anything that I actually ended up doing.
32:14
SPEAKER_00: Might have been like NASCAR driver.
32:18
SPEAKER_00: NASCAR driver.
32:18
SPEAKER_02: No, that was middle school.
32:20
SPEAKER_02: I thought that all that.
32:21
SPEAKER_02: It was probably something that was way too far-fetched.
32:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
32:25
SPEAKER_02: Out of the realm of possibility.
32:27
SPEAKER_02: And that would make sense, though, that that's actually Rock University.
32:30
SPEAKER_02: They did not have that field of study.
32:32
SPEAKER_02: I might have actually put that I was gonna try to be like an actor and be honest.
32:36
SPEAKER_02: Because I was really into that.
32:38
SPEAKER_02: Like I was almost gonna go to school for it, and then I didn't.
32:42
SPEAKER_02: And I probably was really gung-ho of doing that.
32:46
SPEAKER_02: I wanted to be a supermodel.
32:48
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
32:48
SPEAKER_02: Oh.
32:49
SPEAKER_02: Imagine that was my senior project.
32:51
SPEAKER_02: It was not.
32:53
SPEAKER_02: Retake the SAT or retake your driver's test.
32:59
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I would just retake my driver's test.
33:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't want to take any more tests that are knowledge based.
33:06
SPEAKER_00: Those tests were like long too.
33:07
SPEAKER_00: Like you were there for like a couple hours.
33:09
SPEAKER_00: The driver's test's like 10 minutes.
33:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, as long as you're good enough.
33:12
SPEAKER_00: Loop around the parking lot.
33:13
SPEAKER_00: We had to do some parallel parking.
33:15
SPEAKER_02: Did you ever fail, or did you pass first time?
33:17
SPEAKER_00: Passed first time.
33:18
SPEAKER_00: What about you?
33:18
SPEAKER_02: I passed first time.
33:19
SPEAKER_02: I think so.
33:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I definitely passed the first time.
33:23
SPEAKER_02: I actually made sure, I remember the I was right before summer hit.
33:28
SPEAKER_02: My parents were going away for a their they went on their own little trip.
33:33
SPEAKER_02: And I wanted to make sure that I was able to drive myself around.
33:35
SPEAKER_02: So I got took a driver's test before they went on that trip.
33:40
SPEAKER_02: I gotta do it this day.
33:41
SPEAKER_02: If I don't do it this day, I can't take the test until because I don't have anyone to drive me to my driver's test.
33:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
33:46
SPEAKER_02: So I passed, flying colors, drove the HHR.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: I did mine like too on my 16th birthday.
33:51
SPEAKER_00: Like you could go in Ohio, you can like get it on your 16th birthday, where some places it's like.
33:56
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, but I have to wait.
33:57
SPEAKER_02: I think you have to wait like six months.
34:02
SPEAKER_00: I think I I went like the day of or the day after my birthday.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: And I passed.
34:06
SPEAKER_02: I was like, You could have taken a thing in PA, you could have taken a course that accelerated your permit time or accelerated you to like you can get your permit earlier, maybe.
34:17
SPEAKER_02: And then you can get that, which in turn means you can get your driver's license quicker.
34:21
SPEAKER_02: I did not take that route.
34:23
SPEAKER_02: I think it was like a class that you had to take right after school was out.
34:26
SPEAKER_02: So if I had a practice going on, I couldn't go to the class.
34:30
SPEAKER_02: So it's good for people that maybe didn't do anything.
34:33
SPEAKER_00: Oh, in Ohio you also had to have driving hours.
34:36
SPEAKER_00: Did you do that?
34:37
SPEAKER_00: Did you guys have to do that?
34:38
SPEAKER_02: Like you had to have Yeah, you had to have a certain amount of hours.
34:40
SPEAKER_00: We had like a professional pick you up in a car.
34:42
SPEAKER_00: Oh we used to have to drive around town, and our I don't remember what the thing was called.
34:47
SPEAKER_00: It was like a program, but you had to like my person would be like, I gotta go to the laundromat, I need to do this, and I would just like drive them around and their errands like be their chauffeur.
34:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was more so just like my parents were the people in the car, and we would do the same thing.
35:02
SPEAKER_02: Like, hey, we're gonna go to Walmart, gotta pick up some stuff, you're gonna drive.
35:06
SPEAKER_02: There might have been times that they let me drive around to learn more, get more comfortable.
35:11
SPEAKER_02: I like I said, one of the BNS car drivers, so I was pretty good.
35:14
SPEAKER_02: So I had to watch my speed.
35:16
SPEAKER_02: Parallel parking was a little stressful though.
35:18
SPEAKER_00: Like whenever could you imagine learning parallel parking from my dad?
35:25
SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine learning it from my dad?
35:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, both of our dads.
35:29
SPEAKER_02: My mom would stress out.
35:31
SPEAKER_02: My mom still does it to this day.
35:33
SPEAKER_02: Like if you're driving and you approach someone, oh honey, oh, I get it from my mom.
35:40
SPEAKER_02: You're like, oh.
35:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, well, they're breaking like 20 miles ahead of us.
35:44
SPEAKER_02: No, no, no.
35:46
SPEAKER_02: All right.
35:47
SPEAKER_02: Go to prom with your ex or your high school enemy, which in turn could be your ex, I guess.
35:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
35:53
SPEAKER_02: I don't have like any enemies.
35:55
SPEAKER_02: Me neither.
35:56
SPEAKER_02: I would go to I have a good time with my ex at prom.
35:59
SPEAKER_00: I feel like an ex would be like someone that you at least felt comfortable having a good time with.
36:03
SPEAKER_02: Clearly, they're my ex now.
36:05
SPEAKER_02: I couldn't go with you at the time.
36:06
SPEAKER_02: I didn't even know you.
36:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
36:08
SPEAKER_00: I didn't know you either.

36:15
SPEAKER_02: I would I would do my high school haircut again because it was.
36:20
SPEAKER_00: Did you have long hair?
36:21
SPEAKER_02: It was longer hairs, you know, like the Bieber phase was during our era.
36:25

36:29
SPEAKER_02: I looked bad.
36:30
SPEAKER_02: Uh my hairline's high.
36:32
SPEAKER_02: So like I looked at it.
36:34
SPEAKER_00: I cannot imagine you with long hair, just because like I didn't really know you with long hair.
36:37
SPEAKER_02: I feel like I had my haircut until I was like freshman sophomore year of college, same haircut.
36:42
SPEAKER_00: And then I finally maybe it was the haircut that got me interested.
36:47
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
36:47
SPEAKER_02: You like didn't even know I existed.
36:49
SPEAKER_02: And it was like, wait a second, who's this man?
36:51
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I would want my my hair, it's mainly the same hair I have now.
36:55
SPEAKER_00: I haven't changed it much.
36:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it was more like a light brown in high school.
37:01
SPEAKER_00: I didn't dye a blonde until college.
37:02
SPEAKER_00: That's when I turned blonde.
37:04
SPEAKER_00: But I wouldn't say wardrobe because I wore a uniform, so like it was no fun.
37:08
SPEAKER_02: See, I had to wear wardrobe, and I was a big American Eagle, ripped jeans, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch that make sure I had the fierce cologne.
37:19
SPEAKER_02: Cool guy aesthetic.
37:20
SPEAKER_02: Like, mom, we got yeah, meanwhile, my mommy takes me to get my outfits before school starts, get my new shoes.
37:26
SPEAKER_02: Oh now I feel like I don't like to wear anything that's like I would have to make sure that it said whatever shop that I got it from, like American Eagle, Hollister, Legoon.
37:38
SPEAKER_00: That was like such our generation, though.
37:40
SPEAKER_02: Like Fitch.

SPEAKER_02: I love that for you.
38:50
SPEAKER_02: That was 10th grade.
38:51
SPEAKER_02: Then I went back to preppy.
38:54
SPEAKER_02: Let everyone see your old AIM away messages or your old Facebook statuses.
39:00
SPEAKER_00: Oh, those are probably both so bad.
39:03
SPEAKER_02: I would even say like MySpace status.
39:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, MySpace for us.
39:06
SPEAKER_00: I feel like AIM is also, I was like younger.
39:10
SPEAKER_02: Like I feel like my That was high school for me a little bit, not the whole way through.
39:14
SPEAKER_02: I feel like I stopped.
39:15

39:17
SPEAKER_02: I would say beginning of high school.
39:19
SPEAKER_02: I used AIM because I didn't really have like texting until Yeah.
39:24
SPEAKER_02: Like not unlimited texting, not until after nine.
39:27

39:34
SPEAKER_00: Like, yo, what's up, friends?
39:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm busy this weekend, like giving a play by play.
39:39

39:49
SPEAKER_02: Studying with like a bunch of why.
39:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
39:53
SPEAKER_02: That I would give a re like a report of like studying, then practice, then off to the movies in the mall with all these people.
40:02
SPEAKER_02: Like, and I put the people on there.
40:04
SPEAKER_02: Like, why did I put that?
40:05
SPEAKER_00: I did the same thing.
40:06
SPEAKER_02: I hope that you weren't these kind of this kind of person.
40:09
SPEAKER_02: I'd really saying it while thinking through it, the people that would make their status, it would like say their name.
40:16
SPEAKER_02: So it'd say it said Cassie, and then the start of their status would be like, you know, Cassie is and then go through.
40:24
SPEAKER_02: Like, come on, just I don't need all that.
40:26
SPEAKER_02: No.
40:27
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I don't my old AIM away messages would just be a verse of an emo song that I was into at the time.
40:36
SPEAKER_02: And no one really like I just would have to be like, what's a really good one I can do today?
40:41
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
40:41
SPEAKER_02: How am I feeling?
40:42
SPEAKER_02: Am I emotional today or am I in love?
40:46
SPEAKER_00: Any of mine are gonna be bad for me, they're like just so stupid and cringy.
40:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
40:51
SPEAKER_02: Getting caught cheating on a test or rejected in front of the entire cafeteria.
40:56
SPEAKER_00: I would rather get caught cheating on a test.
40:59
SPEAKER_02: I just told the story almost.
41:01
SPEAKER_00: I I feel like getting rejected, I'm assuming that's like on a date.
41:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
41:05
SPEAKER_00: That would be embarrassing in high school.
41:07
SPEAKER_02: Like asking someone the prom, maybe.
41:08
SPEAKER_00: And them saying no.
41:09
SPEAKER_02: No one, I don't know if anyone did like a crazy prom ask.
41:13
SPEAKER_02: Like that became a thing, a fad after us.
41:15
SPEAKER_00: I remember I got asked to prom by like one of our friends.
41:19
SPEAKER_00: Like we were like the two in the group that weren't dating anyone.
41:22
SPEAKER_00: So it's like we were most likely gonna go together.
41:25
SPEAKER_00: And he popped out of a trash can.
41:27
SPEAKER_00: And it was like he had a shirt that said prom.
41:29
SPEAKER_00: I was like, Yeah, cool.
41:30
SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
41:31
SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
41:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
41:32
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I did any formal, I did it like you always get nervous before you would ask the girl.
41:37
SPEAKER_02: Like, are they gonna say yes?
41:39
SPEAKER_02: But meanwhile, you've talked to the girl's friend, yeah, saying, like, oh, I think I'm gonna ask this person.
41:44
SPEAKER_02: And then they probably got confirmation that, hey, if you do ask them, they're gonna say yes.
41:48
SPEAKER_02: There's not gonna be a rejection.
41:50
SPEAKER_02: I feel like it's um who am I gonna grind with for three hours?
41:55
SPEAKER_02: Is basically the question.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: It's such a big thing now.
41:57
SPEAKER_00: Like, people do these like prom posals and homecoming posals.
42:00
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, Yeah, just go to the frickin dance.
42:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a lot of people I don't think even go athletes as much anymore.
42:07
SPEAKER_00: Probably not.
42:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm not in tune with it, but that's just something I feel like my niece our nieces do that.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they kind of go solo or like go solo with a group of their friends.
42:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
42:18
SPEAKER_02: Um have to attend every reunion forever or never know what happened to anyone.
42:27
SPEAKER_00: Never know what happened to anyone.
42:29
SPEAKER_00: Hopefully they're good.
42:30
SPEAKER_00: Wish them well.
42:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I got close friends, so it would suck to not know what they're up to.
42:36
SPEAKER_02: It's kind of like a Peter Parker syndrome.
42:38
SPEAKER_02: Like forget about them.
42:39
SPEAKER_02: So I'd probably go to the latter, like just go to everyone.
42:42
SPEAKER_02: So I wouldn't say you you're like, keeping up with the Joneses.
42:45
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing wrong with going to a party.
42:47
SPEAKER_02: Last one, have your worst high school picture go viral or your most embarrassing high school story go viral.
42:55
SPEAKER_00: I feel like I would prefer the story, but yeah, we had someone from our high school who's a very popular meme, Bad Luck Brian.
43:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, I forgot.
43:04
SPEAKER_00: He made a killing off that.
43:05
SPEAKER_00: Like, good for him.
43:06
SPEAKER_00: Bad luck Brian.
43:08
SPEAKER_00: And I mean, I don't know if that was like a his picture was taken like that on purpose.
43:12
SPEAKER_00: Like he must have looked like that.
43:14
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
43:14
SPEAKER_00: He was friends with my sister, so I guess I gotta ask.
43:16
SPEAKER_02: I forgot all about that, that he was viral from that.
43:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
43:20
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what kind of thing.
43:21
SPEAKER_00: I went to the same high school as Bad Luck Brian.
43:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, an embarrassing photo is probably something that I posted on there that's embarrassing to me now.
43:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
43:29
SPEAKER_00: At the time, it probably was like I thought I was really cool.
43:32
SPEAKER_02: Like a mirror pick.
43:33
SPEAKER_02: I probably have so many mirror picks on that MySpace.
43:36
SPEAKER_00: The pictures were like they're up really high, like Yeah.
43:39
SPEAKER_00: What was I trying to show off?
43:41
SPEAKER_02: Like duck lips, those are always a big thing.
43:43
SPEAKER_02: All right, this is VIP table.
43:47
SPEAKER_02: These are gonna be excuses that you made to skip school.
43:55
SPEAKER_02: Best excuses.
43:56
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
43:57
SPEAKER_00: This was one that my sister and I, when I was A freshman, she was a senior, she would drive me to school.
44:03
SPEAKER_00: And my mom used to wake us up and she would go off to work.
44:06
SPEAKER_00: My dad was already at work.
44:07
SPEAKER_00: It was our job to get ourselves to school.
44:08
SPEAKER_00: And my sister, once my mom would pull out the driveway, we would be like, All right, let's go back to sleep for like two hours.
44:14
SPEAKER_00: So my freshman year, I like missed my first and second period like frequently.
44:17
SPEAKER_00: And the one excuse that we would always use, and they never questioned it, where I would be like, What's going on?
44:23
SPEAKER_00: was we had to take our dog to the vet.
44:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, on the list.
44:27
SPEAKER_02: My dog's sick.
44:28
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
44:28
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:29
SPEAKER_00: And like at the time we had two working parents.
44:32
SPEAKER_00: It was like, who else is gonna take the dog to the vet except for us?
44:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
44:35
SPEAKER_00: And we probably used that excuse, I would say, at least five times.
44:38
SPEAKER_00: Like, maybe once to me, that excuse would make sense.
44:41
SPEAKER_00: But like the other times, how sick is your dog?
44:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, all the time.
44:46
SPEAKER_02: All the time.
44:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's that's my number one because it was like a real one that we used.
44:50
SPEAKER_00: That it our dog never needed to go to the vet.
44:52
SPEAKER_00: We just slept in.
44:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
44:53
SPEAKER_02: Like that's good to sleep.
44:55

44:57
SPEAKER_00: I know.
44:57
SPEAKER_02: All right.
44:57
SPEAKER_02: My first pick.
44:58
SPEAKER_02: This is more so if I like didn't really want to go to school and I'm trying to not go.
45:02
SPEAKER_02: And my mom's like, you have to, like, there's no reason not to.
45:06
SPEAKER_02: Diarrhea.
45:07
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
45:08
SPEAKER_02: I gotta like they can't question.
45:10
SPEAKER_02: She can't question it.
45:10
SPEAKER_02: I just gotta go sit in the bathroom and act like I'm really going.
45:13
SPEAKER_00: It was number two on my list because nobody questions it.
45:16
SPEAKER_00: No.
45:17
SPEAKER_00: They're not gonna be like, let me see.
45:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:19
SPEAKER_00: They're not coming in there.
45:20
SPEAKER_02: No.
45:20
SPEAKER_02: Because that like if you say that you're actually sick.
45:23
SPEAKER_00: Then you have to go to the doctors.
45:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:25
SPEAKER_02: And what the Oh, what's the Billy Madison?
45:31
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
45:34
SPEAKER_02: Not the it's like the maid comes in because he's like, I can't go, I'm sick.
45:40
SPEAKER_02: And she says something to him.
45:43
SPEAKER_02: It's like fine, I'll go to school.
45:45
SPEAKER_02: But no, you can't you cannot excuse yourself um being normal sick.
45:52
SPEAKER_02: It's gotta be diarrhea.
45:54
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
45:55
SPEAKER_00: Or else you're going to the doctors.
45:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:56
SPEAKER_00: Which is the second worst.
45:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
45:59
SPEAKER_02: Uh my next one is just not a death in the family, but like grandma, grandma, grandpa, someone that's like older in the family, they're in the hospital again.
46:11
SPEAKER_02: There are they in the hospital?
46:12
SPEAKER_02: No.
46:13
SPEAKER_00: But they're not questioning it.
46:15
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're not gonna question it.
46:16
SPEAKER_02: No, if you put a death, they might some people ask for like our school.
46:20
SPEAKER_00: If you had a funeral, you had to bring the paperwork.
46:23
SPEAKER_00: Like if you got one of those like memory cards or like a program, you had to turn it in.
46:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I feel like that happened to me like in a work atmosphere before.
46:31
SPEAKER_02: Like, oh, I gotta show proof of this.
46:33
SPEAKER_02: Like it's real, but okay.
46:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:36
SPEAKER_02: But like back in the day, yeah.
46:38
unknown: Yeah.
46:39
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
46:40
SPEAKER_02: Like that would be if I that's more of like a college one.
46:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
46:44
SPEAKER_02: And I might have forget to submit to it.
46:45
SPEAKER_00: College did make us, college did make us bring in the stuff too.
46:49
SPEAKER_00: Like if you missed class, it wouldn't be like an absence if you had the paperwork.
46:53
SPEAKER_00: That's what it was from, where we had to turn it in.
46:55
SPEAKER_00: Because I do remember having to do that.
46:57
SPEAKER_00: Um, my next one, and I could use this one all the time because for part of my high school I had braces, but it I have an orthodontist appointment.
47:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
47:07
SPEAKER_00: And it would be like I would not sometimes I would, but most of the time, if I had to use an excuse, had an orthodontist appointment, my sister had to take me.
47:13
SPEAKER_00: We both miss school.
47:15
SPEAKER_00: And we're late because, you know, after the orthodontist appointment, we got a bagel.
47:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
47:19
SPEAKER_00: We're zooming in late.
47:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
47:20
SPEAKER_02: I know I would go to like or my favorite would be getting dismissed and not coming back.
47:26
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
47:27
SPEAKER_02: And going to the doctor's because like you might have had like a 10 o'clock appointment, and your parents will take you.
47:32
SPEAKER_02: By the time you get back, by the time Yeah, there's only one more class left, and you get to stop and maybe get McDonald's for a good lunch instead of whatever's at the lunch menu.
47:41
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
47:41
SPEAKER_00: Um, and then my next excuse because we didn't have buses to our high school you had to drive, was my car wouldn't start.
47:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
47:47
SPEAKER_00: Car definitely would have started.
47:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
47:48
SPEAKER_00: But I'm not starting it.
47:50
SPEAKER_00: Didn't feel like it.
47:50
SPEAKER_02: Didn't feel like it.
47:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
47:53
SPEAKER_02: Feel like I, yeah.
47:54
SPEAKER_02: Easy excuse.
47:56
SPEAKER_02: Very easy.
47:57
SPEAKER_02: I feel like it's happened, it did happen to me a few times.
47:59
SPEAKER_02: Like my steering wheel would always be messy.
48:02
SPEAKER_02: Locked up.
48:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
48:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
48:03
SPEAKER_00: We did that a lot.
48:04
SPEAKER_00: Or like if it was semi-snowy, our school was on the top of a very big hill.
48:08
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
48:09
SPEAKER_00: And we'd be like, tell my parents, oh, we don't feel safe driving.
48:12
SPEAKER_00: And my parents would be like, cool, don't go.
48:15
SPEAKER_02: Like one time you never skip school though is when there's a delay.
48:20
SPEAKER_02: Two-hour delay days are the best.
48:21
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
48:22
SPEAKER_00: Your classes are like 30 minutes.
48:24
SPEAKER_02: The only time it sucks is whenever there might have been like a scheduled program and you missed, and then the program didn't come.
48:30
SPEAKER_02: Um, my next pick, very niche, is just only one time a year.
48:35
SPEAKER_02: But like I'm I'm gonna let it be known.
48:37
SPEAKER_02: It's March Madness basketball tournament.
48:42
SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm that's my excuse.
48:43
SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to school because I'm watching March Madness today.
48:46
SPEAKER_00: Your mom would let you?
48:47
SPEAKER_02: No, but I just remember no, this isn't a personal one.
48:51
SPEAKER_02: Oh, this is just one I would use an excuse for it.
48:53
SPEAKER_02: I got March Madnesses on.
48:54
SPEAKER_02: I got something to watch.
48:56
SPEAKER_02: We lived down in Florida.
48:57
SPEAKER_02: My boss, he had two young kids.
49:01
SPEAKER_02: He played collegiate basketball.
49:02
SPEAKER_02: His wife played collegiate basketball, and it was a holiday for them.
49:05
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
49:06
SPEAKER_02: So on the day one of March Madness, they took off, they made all kinds of food, they stayed as a family, had had people over.
49:11
SPEAKER_02: I went once.
49:12
SPEAKER_02: It was actually just me and his family.
49:14
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know if I was actually welcome to come, but I was there.
49:16
SPEAKER_00: You mentioned, hey, I like it.
49:18
SPEAKER_00: He's like, You should come.
49:18
SPEAKER_00: Didn't think you'd say yes.
49:20
SPEAKER_02: And um, yeah, yeah, like Garrett's on his way.
49:25
SPEAKER_02: Uh he's actually coming.
49:26
SPEAKER_02: He should be at work.
49:27
SPEAKER_02: Why is he now coming?
49:28
SPEAKER_00: Why is he not on the schedule?
49:29
SPEAKER_02: Like, well, you're off.
49:30
SPEAKER_02: It's there's nothing going on at work today, so I'm gonna take the come watch basketball with you guys.
49:35
SPEAKER_02: Um the last one, it's the day after a Super Bowl, but it's your team that's in the Super Bowl, and like you stayed up late.
49:48
SPEAKER_02: Stayed up late.
49:49
SPEAKER_02: We're watching it.
49:50
SPEAKER_02: There's a boy meets world episode about this, about a baseball game.
49:54
SPEAKER_02: It might have been like it wasn't a World Series, but a pitcher did a no-hitter, and Corey's dad let him stay up and watch the no-hitter happen, and Mr.
50:04
SPEAKER_02: Feeney was really mad, like something happened where Mr.
50:08
SPEAKER_02: Feeney got mad about it, and Corey failed a test or did something, and the dad was really mad at George Feeney about having his son stay up to watch some memory.
50:22
SPEAKER_02: I think like if you if a kid wants to stay up and watch something, or you want to have your kid be present for seeing something that doesn't happen often.
50:30
SPEAKER_02: Steelers are in the Super Bowl, I'm sorry, but kids are off tomorrow.
50:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
50:34
SPEAKER_00: A lot of schools actually do that for like a well yeah, for like a big event like that.
50:40
SPEAKER_00: That would become like something.
50:42
SPEAKER_02: Right.
50:42
SPEAKER_02: Like Texas probably does that for just even their high school football teams.
50:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
50:46
SPEAKER_00: It's also probably like the same thing when there's like a presidential election or something big happening that it's gonna impact like when the draft happened.
50:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
50:53
SPEAKER_00: Like some of the schools.
50:55
SPEAKER_00: Not they weren't off, but like they did not go into remote learning day.
50:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, remote learning day because they don't have like off days anymore.
51:01
SPEAKER_00: But yes.
51:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
51:02
SPEAKER_00: Um, my last pick is it's also kind of niche because this is something that I did quite frequently.
51:08
SPEAKER_00: But if you're in a traveling sport or a sport where you have to like go away a lot, I would take off a lot of Fridays because I'd have a dance competition.
51:17
SPEAKER_00: And sometimes the dance competitions happening like on a they start on Friday morning and they're not done till Sunday night, so I'd be off Friday and Monday.
51:25
SPEAKER_00: And they never questioned it because I was so heavy into dance that they weren't like, oh, she's making it up.
51:30
SPEAKER_00: So it was just like I'm off.
51:31
SPEAKER_00: I have a dance competition.
51:33
SPEAKER_00: What are they gonna say?
51:35
SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
51:35
SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
51:36
SPEAKER_02: They never did.
51:38
SPEAKER_02: Uh more so, like a not honorable mention, is not like missing a whole day of school, but missing a certain class, and you are in a show, and like, oh, we gotta go and do something like for tech tech for tech rehearsal, and they I gotta miss first period.
51:56
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna be a little late.
51:57
SPEAKER_02: And they let you be late.
51:58
SPEAKER_02: I don't know how they coordinated that.
52:01
SPEAKER_02: Like one teacher let you miss at another class, I will do it.
52:06
SPEAKER_02: Like if I really didn't want to I don't know, English class and you're doing popcorn reading, and I really didn't want to read, I don't know.
52:16
SPEAKER_02: I'll just make up and ex like always have to use the bathroom, and then I just take an extra long at the bathroom that particular class.
52:23
SPEAKER_02: Why is it only whenever there's popcorn reading that you're leaving?
52:27
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
52:29
SPEAKER_00: I don't really have many other ones because they were like they were very like specific, like Yeah.
52:33
SPEAKER_02: I had the dog sickness one as well.
52:35
SPEAKER_02: That was the only one that I added.
52:37
SPEAKER_00: That dog has to go to the vet, but my parents aren't taking them.
52:40
SPEAKER_00: Who's believing that?
52:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
52:42
SPEAKER_00: At my school, apparently.
52:43
SPEAKER_00: They got it.
