  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_02: See, you have a connection too.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_02: We all have our influences in different places.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_02: Speaking of, let me just read you a couple celebrities and what they said about the passing of Dolly.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my lord, yeah.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_02: Uh the first one came from I'm gonna read you like celebrities that we tend to talk about more.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: Sabrina Carpenter, for instance, says your light will be something the world will search forever to find again.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_02: Isn't that a great quote?
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you can all I hate to use the term do better, but we all can do that and add a little bit of it.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_01: We could all combined our little flashlights, if you will, from our phones to make one big spot spotlight.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: I think we should aspire.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have that quote written down somewhere?
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: I think we should aspire to be more like Dolly.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: Eminem said, even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: Taylor Swift, a world without Dolly doesn't feel possible, real, or even right.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_02: And then Beyoncé said, you are an angel who has made this world a happier place because of your joyful art.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's uh that I think the feelings that a lot of it's obviously a sad thing because even if you've never met Dolly in your life, somehow you feel like you knew her.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: She was just one of those people.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that the truth?
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's so rare.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's such a quality that uh she had.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but also at the same time, it is one of those passings where, and I'm not saying it brings you joy, but you find the joy because of what she was.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: And has she does this make sense?
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, because she lived such a fulfilling life.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: I felt the same when my grandmother passed, because it was she is leaving a legacy that we all can and will all continue on because it's not just it's not like oh maybe no, we're going to.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: I think we should.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: I will even say this, and it makes no difference to me where your political stance is on this.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: But did you see uh all the previous presidents that are still alive have uh sent their uh regards, if you will, uh, including President Trump has ordered flags at half-staff for a week.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: No, because of this, yes, for a full week.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, you can't, it doesn't matter.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: I like I said, makes no difference to me what your political views are.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I mean, you do you, but I mean, this has affected everyone to some level.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: And that happened very early after the announcement of her passing yesterday that the flags were ordered at half-staff, but they even went on to say uh Bush, Obama, Clinton, all of them have sent uh, you know, uh their regards and messages and uh and the meaning that she was.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's it it really is incredible.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: And think about this the ages from the books to kids to adults who uh praise her music, her acting, yeah, and just her philanthropic efforts.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: That is insane that somebody covers so many years.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's I mean just generations.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think it'll ever happen again.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: Now let's shift in gear.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: So we were just mentioned kids a second ago because she was so involved in the her giving out free books.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: So when kids are going back to school, there's a lot of things that they have to do.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta get a backpack and you gotta buy everything on the list.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: Get the new outfit.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: The new outfit.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: But this kindergarten teacher says that her students don't have this skill.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Five things I never thought I would have to explicitly teach kindergartners.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: One, pull your pants up before you leave the bathroom.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: Two, the urinal is not a sink.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Three, don't crawl under the stalls.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Ew.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: Four, your clothes stay on in the bathroom.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: And so do your shoes.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: And five, if something is wet on the floor, you shouldn't lick it.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Now, in Ah Alright.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: You get you get one of these.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, I can't believe some kid licked something on the floor.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: In the defense of the kindergarten teacher, I have had to remind Allie, please pull your pants up when you're leaving the ladies' room.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: So before you leave.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: Before you depart, can you get those things hoisted?
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes I'm like uh mid um zip, like uh zipping up sure when I'm coming out of the bathroom because I'm like, oh my god.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: It aren't it okay.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: On a funny side to this, the ladies' room is literally here, I'll go knock on the door.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's so close.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Let's know how close this is.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: We will be we will be playing a song, and sometimes we'll be playing a song, and sometimes it might take me a long a little bit longer to pee.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: So then Scott's like, come on, ten seconds.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: My favorite is is you know, about uh, oh, let's say about 8 30, 8 45, or 9 o'clock, uh you will hear a parade of toilet flushes.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and you and if we're quiet enough, you literally can because we keep the door open.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_01: We could shut the door and leave and block people out of the studio.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's so we can talk to Jordan, the producer.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: No that too.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but uh you will hear the you will hear the march of toilet flushes.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like literally, of the six women that work here, all of them have to pee at the exact same time.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and you will hear, whoa, and then another.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then either way, but in back to this.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I remember pulling pants up.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, go ahead.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, oh no, well, beyond that, the kindergarten thing.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: So I remember.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: So Lydia has a very unique setup this year.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_01: Lydia has for her second grade teacher the same teacher she had for kindergarten.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's nice.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: Who also is a neighbor and a friend of ours.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: So I get stories.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_01: Not I won't mention any names, but she said, I remember when she was teaching kindergarten, and she goes, Oh my god, do these kids come to school with you know being able to, you know, being potty trained and being able to function in the bathroom?
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and I'm like, I don't, I mean, it was one of the conversations.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: I've heard kids go to school now, uh, some of them not even potty trained, even though I always thought you were supposed to be.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: We had to.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: When I I very vividly remember as a kid, if you were going to be entering kindergarten, there was a couple things you had to know.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: You had to know your alphabet, you had to be able to basically begin to have some reading skills, and you had to be able to go to the bathroom by yourself.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: Because I remember my mom being like, okay, we got to do this.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: We got to do A, B, and C.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, I could go to the bathroom by myself.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_02: Of course I could.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna take you back even a little further because you and I uh generationally, you're on the cusp of a Gen Xer like me.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: We also had to know how to tie our shoes.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, we did too.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_02: You remember that one too?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we did too.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: Because I don't necessarily know that that's the case anymore because also two reasons for that Velcro has come into, you know, into the limelight of shoes where a lot of kids, I think that's a lost art.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's are you serious?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I am not kidding.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: Do your kids know how to tie their shoes?
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: They do now.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, thank God.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna lie to you.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: That probably took way longer than well, when I was a kid, when I had to learn up at like three.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: I think we need to have the pressure of it because if not, they're gonna be 15 years old not knowing how to tie their dang shoes.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: So let me ask this question while pulling up their pants.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Let me be like Allie, come out of the ladies' rooms, don't waste it up.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and I mean I asked this of the teachers, either some the NPA that are already back, uh, and then for any of the New York teachers that are getting ready for this, have the rules changed uh to be way different inclusive?
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: In other words, we went from you must be able to in order to be in these classes.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, to then they shifted, am I right on this to you should be able to.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: Now is it we would like for your child to be able to.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: Have we gotten that weak with this?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't think we should, but I don't know the answer.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you guys tell us.
