HHBSO 118: Cut Class, All the Cool Kids Are Doing It · He's Hot but Something's Off...

• 0:02
  Hello, welcome to He's hot, but something's off.
• 0:06
  OK, I hope you're all watching the YouTube version, the video
• 0:09
  version of this podcast available on my YouTube channel.
• 0:13
  Just Joey T I'm making some lighting adjustments.
• 0:18
  It's been bugging me that this wall behind me that I podcast in
• 0:24
  front of has it. It's fine that it's a plain
• 0:29
  wall. You know, I've got a shelf
• 0:31
  there, just the shelf that's beside the entrance to my
• 0:35
  apartment. And then to my other side is a
• 0:38
  fake bamboo tree from IKEA. But otherwise between these two
• 0:43
  objects, it's just this like plain white wall.
• 0:47
  And it was like a dark wall without any lighting.
• 0:50
  And it's been bugging me for quite some time now how ugly the
• 0:55
  background looks on the podcast. I talked about, I think on the
• 0:59
  last episode, the episode before, about all the various
• 1:02
  backgrounds I've had. And I've decided to do something
• 1:05
  about the ugly grey background. I described it.
• 1:09
  I was on, I was on AI, and I was asking AI for suggestions about
• 1:17
  how to spruce up the background of my video podcast.
• 1:22
  And the way I described it was, you know, I'm well lit.
• 1:27
  I've got a ring light and I've got a box light, right, kind of
• 1:32
  just behind the camera. So I look good, I think.
• 1:36
  But the wall behind me is not lit.
• 1:40
  And I told Chad GBT that it looks like I'm in a dark
• 1:45
  basement, which I'm not. I don't have a basement.
• 1:48
  This is just my apartment. But I got this LED light that I
• 1:54
  put on the floor right in front of the wall behind me.
• 1:57
  So if you're watching the video version, I don't haven't edited
• 2:01
  this video as I'm still recording it right now.
• 2:04
  So it looks it looks OK. It looks like it doesn't look
• 2:07
  like I'm in a dark ass room now, right.
• 2:09
  There's a little bit of a, there's a little bit of light on
• 2:12
  that wall behind me I can kind of see in the monitor on my
• 2:15
  camera. So yeah, I'm going to tweak it.
• 2:19
  But I really wanted a nicer, not a nicer setup per SE.
• 2:23
  You know, I've got a very nice recorder slash mixer that I got
• 2:28
  second hand on eBay, which is how just about every episode of
• 2:32
  the podcast it's recorded via this one piece of equipment.
• 2:36
  It has the intro music it's got, it does the recording, it throws
• 2:40
  it onto an SD card. My mic is connected to it.
• 2:43
  It's like a super awesome handy piece of equipment.
• 2:46
  It's AI like I it's my ride or die.
• 2:48
  That's like the one core piece of podcasting equipment, the
• 2:52
  ring light that is in front of me.
• 2:54
  I've had it forever. I didn't buy for podcasting.
• 2:58
  I got it for, but I did get it for my YouTube, you know, on my
• 3:02
  YouTube for quite a few years now, I'll do videos where I just
• 3:09
  sit down in front of the camera and I just talk at the camera.
• 3:12
  And you know, I, I don't do tons of those, but like there's like
• 3:18
  a few every year on my YouTube channel where it's my living
• 3:23
  room and I just sit in front of the camera and I got the ring
• 3:26
  light for that. It was my first attempt to get
• 3:29
  some sort of lighting to spruce up my YouTube videos.
• 3:32
  I got that who had her like some.
• 3:35
  It's actually been about like 7 or 8 years since I got this rain
• 3:38
  light from Amazon. And then more recently I had I
• 3:43
  had a fan who was very generous and bought me some soft box
• 3:49
  lights as a gift from Amazon. And that was just like a couple
• 3:54
  years ago, and that's the lighting that you are seeing
• 3:57
  now. So I want to upgrade the
• 3:58
  lighting, especially with the big announcement that I've been
• 4:04
  teasing. You know, I wanted to look good
• 4:08
  for that big announcement, even though only three of you are
• 4:12
  listening or watching the YouTube episodes.
• 4:14
  But yeah, let me know what you think of if you have ideas for
• 4:17
  how I can spruce up this background.
• 4:20
  Actually have actually, there's a lot of art that's behind.
• 4:24
  There's a lot of art on the walls that's behind the camera.
• 4:28
  So if you go back to my video podcast episodes from early this
• 4:33
  year, from early this year, and then you see there's some art
• 4:38
  that's in the background of those episodes.
• 4:42
  And there are three letter airport codes for different
• 4:45
  airports in different places. So probably the one that you saw
• 4:51
  the big red 1 and it says BCN on it.
• 4:54
  That's the airport three letter code for Barcelona.
• 4:58
  So I'm actually staring at it right now.
• 5:00
  I'm just on the other side of that table where I recorded
• 5:03
  those old episodes. I won't bore you with the
• 5:07
  complicated OCD very Joey specific reasons why that's not
• 5:13
  my background anymore. And I, I don't think that's of
• 5:17
  entertainment value to anyone. But yeah, this is going to be
• 5:21
  like the new background. What you see right now.
• 5:24
  I want to put something on the walls, but I don't want it.
• 5:27
  I don't want to put a lot of stuff on the wall.
• 5:30
  I just want to spruce it up like a little bit so that it just
• 5:33
  doesn't look. Maybe the light is enough.
• 5:35
  What do you think? So I've got the light there.
• 5:37
  I think the light is OK. I've got this bookshelf shelving
• 5:41
  unit that I'm going to clean up a little bit.
• 5:42
  You can see all my vitamins on there.
• 5:44
  That's always been my vitamins shelf, but I think maybe I
• 5:48
  should put my vitamin vitamins somewhere else and make that one
• 5:53
  shelf on that shelving unit look a little nicer.
• 5:56
  Not just like a bunch of pill bottles and the the fake IKEA
• 6:00
  bamboo thing is probably going to stay.
• 6:03
  But yeah, let me know. We have some ideas for like a
• 6:05
  light sprucing up. I don't want to hang up a whole
• 6:08
  bunch of really crazy looking art behind me for the background
• 6:12
  for the podcast, but the focus. I'm the star.
• 6:15
  I'm always the star, OK? Anyways, yeah, let me know.
• 6:21
  But yeah, I'm very excited about this.
• 6:24
  If you are subscribed to my Patreon and you've listened to
• 6:29
  the uncut episodes, you know what the announcement is,
• 6:33
  because I did a special uncut episode specifically about this
• 6:38
  thing quite a few weeks ago, back in like July or early
• 6:42
  August. So the Patreon listeners and
• 6:46
  subscribers already know, but I'm, I'm working so hard a lot
• 6:52
  of the days to not just launch this one thing, which I'm really
• 6:57
  excited to launch, but also my skin care line.
• 7:03
  I used to run ads for my skin care line on the podcast.
• 7:08
  If you'll, if you go back to like the ones earlier this year,
• 7:11
  you'll see their ads that were like edit it into the podcast
• 7:15
  episodes one day. Once we've done the relaunch,
• 7:21
  I've had to do a relaunch and the rebrand and all of that.
• 7:24
  I think maybe once we possibly, I, I'll talk more about it when
• 7:28
  we launch, but we're going to relaunch in November.
• 7:32
  We're hitting some milestones, but man, it's like 2 steps
• 7:36
  forward, one step back. And I, I just got an e-mail
• 7:40
  today from the lab that's making the skin care products like,
• 7:44
  hey, like the truck didn't come again to pick up the stuff to
• 7:48
  like deliver to Amazon. So just little things like that,
• 7:52
  but keeping very busy. The skin care thing is going to
• 7:55
  relaunch in November. Please don't quote me on that
• 8:00
  because I just need to stay like very flexible and very like
• 8:04
  taking it day by day with it. You would think, hey, this
• 8:08
  massive business, you must have everything planned down to the T
• 8:12
  Yes and no. One of the things I'm learning
• 8:14
  is when you're starting a business for like the first time
• 8:18
  or like going into an industry for the first time, you are
• 8:21
  learning so much. But The thing is you're going to
• 8:25
  make mistakes. And part of that means you kind
• 8:29
  of got to be really, really agile.
• 8:35
  You got to kind of take things one day at a time.
• 8:38
  You can, when you don't have that much experience, if you try
• 8:41
  to plan everything out, things are going to happen that derail
• 8:45
  you. And depending on the type of
• 8:48
  person you are, that could be demotivating when all these kind
• 8:54
  of random land mines just pop up out of nowhere when you're
• 8:57
  driving around this road that you plan to drive down.
• 9:01
  And that's something I'm learning as well is, yes, have
• 9:06
  plans, but just know that things are going to happen that's out
• 9:10
  of your control and you have to deal with it.
• 9:12
  And for me, when I, I do like to plan things, I live in
• 9:16
  spreadsheets. There's certain things though,
• 9:19
  that if you plan out something too much for certain things,
• 9:25
  you're just setting yourself up for disappointment because then
• 9:28
  inevitably there's certain things that are not going to go
• 9:31
  to plan. And even the type of person a
• 9:34
  little like me, where when something go doesn't go to plan
• 9:37
  and you're expecting it to, the little surprises pop up, then it
• 9:42
  gets a bit demotivating. But it just feels like things
• 9:47
  are going off the rails when that's not necessarily the case.
• 9:51
  So yeah, I have more. I'm very excited to do the skin
• 9:58
  care relaunch. It was a very expensive lesson
• 10:02
  the first time I do the launch. Anyways, the relaunch should be
• 10:05
  coming up in November. And one exciting thing I'm doing
• 10:09
  for the relaunch is we need to advertise obviously.
• 10:14
  And I'm working with a marketing agency for the relaunch and like
• 10:17
  the first go around and, you know, we're going to what I'm
• 10:21
  going to basically I'm going to create, you know, a bunch of
• 10:26
  content for the marketing effort.
• 10:27
  So we need photos and videos for the social media.
• 10:33
  We're going to need that for the website as well.
• 10:36
  And we're going to need it for our ads that we run on wherever
• 10:40
  you run ads nowadays. So I've got this idea to do a
• 10:46
  photo shoot and I have it in my head like what the concept, the
• 10:51
  visual concept is going to look like.
• 10:54
  So I actually yesterday posted an Instagram story just to start
• 11:01
  finding models for this photo shoot.
• 11:05
  So this is going to be the launch photo shoot campaign.
• 11:11
  Basically, you know, when we relaunch, this is going to be
• 11:15
  like the primary set of photos and videos from this particular
• 11:19
  shoot that I'm going to use for the launch.
• 11:22
  So I'm super excited about that. I've got certain people that I
• 11:28
  know that when I had this idea, I was like, oh, this is what I
• 11:33
  want that I can paint to look like the visual style and
• 11:36
  everything. Oh, these people would be
• 11:39
  perfect for that. So I posted on my Instagram
• 11:43
  story yesterday, like casting call type of a thing and
• 11:48
  actually reached out to a couple of people I know and I just told
• 11:51
  them, hey, I think you'd be great for this.
• 11:54
  Like if you're interested, let me know or if you want more
• 11:56
  information. So that that part's very
• 11:59
  exciting. Initially I thought, oh, maybe I
• 12:03
  can just take the photos myself in like my house, but I'm going
• 12:07
  to rent a studio space. Apparently that's a thing which
• 12:13
  for me is great. Like a proper studio space for
• 12:16
  like, I don't know, 50 or 100 bucks an hour.
• 12:19
  You can go rent a space where, you know, it's like a proper
• 12:22
  studio space. They've got like like a proper
• 12:24
  like white background and they have proper lighting and things
• 12:28
  like that. So that's going to be great.
• 12:31
  We'll get a photographer as well.
• 12:33
  But I'm very excited for the relaunch.
• 12:35
  I'm excited how it's going to turn out.
• 12:38
  Yeah. And in addition to this new
• 12:40
  thing that I'm going to launch, I'm going to have to stop
• 12:42
  talking around it because it's so annoying when someone keeps
• 12:47
  talking about something they're going to announce and they don't
• 12:50
  announce it, Right. So OK, I'll put a pin on that.
• 12:55
  But yeah, I'm just so swamped and busy these days.
• 13:00
  This is the first time in my life that I've ever wanted to
• 13:05
  cut back on gym time. I've never ever wanted to cut
• 13:12
  back on gym time before in my life.
• 13:17
  Oh, I tell you guys some tea. I mean, I haven't worked there
• 13:20
  in ages, so it doesn't matter. Back when, back in like my
• 13:24
  final, like one or one or two years at Google, I used to leave
• 13:34
  the office early to go to the gym.
• 13:37
  Not like, it's not like I, I, I leave at lunch.
• 13:39
  Well, like, because when you go to the gym at 5:00-ish, how most
• 13:48
  people would go right after they leave the office.
• 13:52
  You know, you might leave the office at like 4 or five.
• 13:55
  And when you go to the gym and at that rush hour time, it's
• 14:00
  rush hour literally so, and it doesn't let up until 8:30 or 9.
• 14:08
  Back when I used to live in San Francisco, like many, many, many
• 14:11
  years ago, I would used to go to the gym at like 8:30 or like 830
• 14:19
  ish, something like that. Because I didn't want to go
• 14:22
  during rush hour. I didn't want to have to wait
• 14:25
  around for equipment and have it just be super busy at the gym.
• 14:29
  And I was working. I was still working like that
• 14:32
  was before I started leaving the leaving the office early, like
• 14:36
  my final one or so years. I'm not, I didn't do it every
• 14:39
  single day, but there'd be like a couple of days of the week
• 14:43
  where, you know, I knew that like it was fine.
• 14:47
  And I still had on my phone. So if someone needed to like
• 14:49
  reach me, like they can still reach me.
• 14:50
  I had my phone. But like, yeah, I would leave
• 14:52
  the office at like 2:30 or three.
• 14:57
  I didn't, I didn't show. I, I, I came to work at like
• 14:59
  8:30, which is like, I don't, that's a standard ish time.
• 15:03
  So it's not like I was leaving at 12.
• 15:05
  It's not like I was just doing the half day and it wasn't every
• 15:07
  day of the week, but they were like pretty regularly, like a
• 15:11
  couple of times a week. I would if I could, I will leave
• 15:16
  at like 2:30 or three and then I could get to the gym at like I
• 15:21
  think I just went direct. I just went directly from the
• 15:24
  office to the gym. So I get a gym at like 3330 and
• 15:27
  it was nice because I can get my full workout in before rush hour
• 15:31
  and then I have like the rest of the rest of the night to like
• 15:34
  just be home to like do whatever.
• 15:37
  So I do have a history of cutting, cutting work slash
• 15:42
  school. I remember in high school we
• 15:45
  would, well, I slashed some of my friends in this was junior
• 15:51
  high or Senior High there we knew there were certain courses
• 15:55
  where we could just not show up because of like the teacher and
• 15:59
  how LAX they were and like the type of class it was we had some
• 16:04
  of us had drafting class, you know, drafting us in like
• 16:07
  technical drawing of things. So it was an elective and some
• 16:12
  of us took drafting and the teacher was really LAX.
• 16:15
  He was super cool guy. He knew what was doing, but
• 16:18
  like, he was very like chill and mellow.
• 16:21
  And the drafting was for us, it was like very easy to do, you
• 16:26
  know, for like the average high school student, I'm totally just
• 16:29
  reading people now. For the average high school
• 16:31
  student, it was whatever. But like me and a couple of my
• 16:33
  friends were more like technically minded.
• 16:35
  Like for me, it was like very easy to just like blast through
• 16:38
  the work to the point that we didn't really need to be there
• 16:41
  every single day that we were scheduled to be in that class.
• 16:44
  And I think there were like one or two semesters where drafting
• 16:49
  was the class before the lunch break, and we would often just
• 16:56
  cut that class. I remember my friends and I in
• 16:58
  junior high, before any of us had cars, sometimes we just take
• 17:02
  the bus up to 1 of like the malls, like one of the local
• 17:07
  malls. You know, this is like years ago
• 17:09
  when going to malls were like the cool thing for kids to do,
• 17:12
  like high school kids. So we cut class.
• 17:14
  The things we would cut class not to even do anything
• 17:17
  specific. We would just like go to the
• 17:18
  mall and just hang out and have like a leisurely lunch.
• 17:22
  I remember on Tuesdays we would cut that class that was right
• 17:27
  before lunch and it was Toony Tuesday at KFC.
• 17:35
  So this is up in Canada. OK, In Canada they had they do
• 17:40
  still they have $1.00 coins and $2.00 coins.
• 17:45
  In the US you only get coins for anything that's less than a
• 17:48
  dollar, like 1/4 a dime, a nickel or penny.
• 17:51
  But in Canada, you don't get bills until you hit $5.
• 17:56
  OK, yeah, $5.00 bill, $10.00 bill, whatever.
• 17:58
  But for $1.00 and $2.00, you got coins.
• 18:02
  A $1.00 coin is called a loony, and they've had the loony for
• 18:06
  quite a while. The $2.00 coin is called the
• 18:09
  toony. And that came out that's was
• 18:11
  like relatively new. It came in like, I think they
• 18:14
  introduced in like the 90s. So you had like $1.00 coin and
• 18:17
  $2.00 coin. And on Tuesdays we would go to
• 18:22
  this, the food court that was at the mall and they had AKFC at
• 18:27
  the food court and KFC. It would be 20 Tuesdays at KFC
• 18:34
  and it was like $2.00 for like a, a two piece and like a
• 18:39
  coleslaw or fries. It was that's some sort of like
• 18:42
  $2.00 deal. Obviously for $2.00 to get you
• 18:45
  any amount of chicken these days it's impossible.
• 18:48
  But like way, way back when I was in high school, we would cut
• 18:51
  class, we would go, it'd be too many.
• 18:53
  Tuesday, it'd be like a two piece and some fries, like a
• 18:56
  little bit of coleslaw, something like that.
• 18:58
  I would always get the honey mustard dip for the fries
• 19:02
  instead of the ketchup. It was just like, I just
• 19:04
  preferred it. That was like the thing we look
• 19:06
  forward to on on Tuesdays and times when we sometimes we just
• 19:11
  had regular lunch. We didn't skip class and we
• 19:14
  would walk over to, I don't know, there's there's a, there's
• 19:19
  like an area that was like a 1015 minute walk away from
• 19:23
  school and there's a 711 there, 711 like right on the corner.
• 19:29
  And we would get slushies. My friends would get the proper
• 19:34
  size slushies with like the Dome cap.
• 19:36
  I would get the small slushy like the the small cup, like
• 19:41
  this yellow small cup with like the flat lid.
• 19:43
  Just up the road from the 711, there was a pizza place.
• 19:48
  I got like a little mom and pop pizza place.
• 19:50
  I forgot, I don't remember what the name is, but it was like
• 19:52
  literally just like four or five storefronts up from that 711 on
• 19:59
  this like Major Rd. there's this mom and pop pizza place and it
• 20:04
  was the greasiest pizza you could ever imagine.
• 20:09
  And they sold pizza by the slice.
• 20:11
  It was like this massive slice. It would be like drenched in
• 20:15
  oil. But it was delicious.
• 20:18
  I can still, if I close my eyes, I can still imagine what that
• 20:22
  pizza tasted like. Yeah.
• 20:25
  So when I was in high school, that's, that's what we did.
• 20:27
  We cut class and we went to 711, had slushies and sometimes we
• 20:32
  went to that super greasy pizza place.
• 20:36
  I think because the, the, the mom and pop like the, the couple
• 20:41
  that ran that place, they weren't like a super old couple,
• 20:44
  at least not like back then when we were there, they weren't like
• 20:47
  a super old couple. I wonder if they were actually
• 20:49
  Italian. They definitely had like some
• 20:50
  sort of European accent and they recognized us because we went
• 20:53
  there probably like once or twice a week, once or twice a
• 20:57
  week during high school. That was before we had cars.
• 21:01
  And then I remember Senior High, like over the summer when we
• 21:06
  started Senior High, a couple of us had gotten cars over the
• 21:10
  summer and I was one of them. And obviously instead of taking
• 21:15
  the bus, we'd be we'd be driving.
• 21:17
  We still kind of classified like drive to the mall, still be
• 21:21
  doing the Toony Tuesdays and whatever.
• 21:23
  We never did anything. I don't know.
• 21:26
  We didn't cut class for any good reason.
• 21:28
  We cut class because we didn't even hate class.
• 21:34
  Like I didn't hate drafting was fine.
• 21:36
  I was fine to just, like, chill in front of the computer and
• 21:38
  like, use the cat software and be drawing stuff.
• 21:40
  It was easy for me. I think I just did it because,
• 21:43
  like, the other kids are doing it, you know, like when you're
• 21:45
  in high school, like, you just do what other kids do just to
• 21:49
  be, like, cool and fit in, even though that's not the, you don't
• 21:55
  know really explicitly at the front of your mind why you're
• 21:58
  doing it. But like, oh, like, you know,
• 21:59
  like so and so are doing it. Like my friends are doing it.
• 22:01
  So I just tagged along. And I was doing it too.
• 22:05
  Yeah. I don't know how we got from
• 22:07
  podcasting to eating super greasy pizza and slushies during
• 22:13
  my high school years, but yeah, I, I love telling stories from
• 22:16
  my past because I think a lot of you guys, sometimes you guys
• 22:19
  give me good feedback about like, oh, it's interesting to
• 22:21
  hear what your time was like when you were in school or in
• 22:26
  college or like early on in your career.
• 22:29
  And like this I feel like a lot of people can kind of identify
• 22:32
  with. Oh, yeah, when I was high
• 22:33
  school, I did this and I did that.
• 22:34
  High school was easy for me, but like high school was too easy
• 22:39
  academically for me, I think because I didn't know what it
• 22:43
  was like to really do hard academic work until I went to
• 22:48
  university and I almost, almost flunked the first year of
• 22:53
  college. I was so close to flunking this
• 22:55
  one course that I had to pass, I think.
• 22:58
  I think I've mentioned it. Well basically it was math one O
• 23:03
  2 which is integral calculus and I took calculus.
• 23:06
  I took pre calc in high school but like the teacher made it too
• 23:10
  easy. OK, you know, you know what the
• 23:12
  stupid thing is? I apparently learned algebra in
• 23:16
  high school like kids learned algebra high school.
• 23:18
  That's not like a University College thing.
• 23:21
  I knew I learned algebra in high school.
• 23:23
  Somehow it completely left my like all my algebra left my
• 23:28
  brain between high school and college.
• 23:31
  When I got to college, they just assumed you knew algebra because
• 23:34
  that's the high school thing to learn.
• 23:35
  And I was I was in, I was in first year engineering.
• 23:40
  It wasn't like I was in first year Fine Arts.
• 23:43
  I was in engineering school, school of applied science and I
• 23:48
  forgot to how to do algebra completely.
• 23:51
  I didn't even know what to Oh my God, it was so it's so
• 23:54
  embarrassing. It's so embarrassing.
• 23:56
  I remember math one O 1, which was differential calculus and we
• 24:00
  had that in the first semester of the first year.
• 24:03
  And that was like, OK, but like when I was doing that, of course
• 24:07
  I was like, Oh my God, I don't know how to do this algebra.
• 24:10
  This isn't even calculated yet. It's just the algebra part.
• 24:12
  I have like completely forgotten how to do it.
• 24:15
  I don't know how, but I can forgot.
• 24:16
  So I'll have to like relearn it somehow.
• 24:19
  And then yeah, math one O 2 in the second semester, the
• 24:22
  integrals that completely shafted me completely
• 24:26
  comprehensively. And that was when I like really
• 24:30
  super started to like take it really seriously and buckle.
• 24:33
  Not that I wasn't taking it seriously, but I think I was
• 24:36
  like a little too much like happy go lucky mode going into
• 24:41
  college. It just felt like, Oh yeah, I
• 24:43
  was always getting like A's and maybe some B's in like high
• 24:46
  school, like I aced my final year of like math, of chemistry,
• 24:52
  of physics. I did precalculus, like, you
• 24:54
  know, I should be like, I think I'm pretty good.
• 24:56
  And then I went to college. It was like, Hell's no.
• 25:00
  Like I felt like I was, it was not cutting it.
• 25:04
  So I don't think I was, I don't think I was very well prepared.
• 25:10
  And I can't even blame school because there were other people
• 25:12
  from my school. There were a couple people from
• 25:14
  my school that also went to first year engineering in UBC at
• 25:20
  the same time as me and they knew what they were doing.
• 25:24
  We went to the same high school and we took the same math and
• 25:26
  science courses for years. And they go into first year
• 25:34
  engineering at the same school as me at the same time.
• 25:36
  And we're all taking the exact same, some of them that were my
• 25:38
  classmates in first year engineering, like, and that's
• 25:41
  how I knew them. Like, you know, like, Oh yeah,
• 25:43
  like we went to the same high school blah, blah.
• 25:45
  And it was me that was like, Oh my God, I don't even know how to
• 25:47
  do algebra, how bad that is. Anyways, for more embarrassing
• 25:53
  stories for my high school and college years, I I feel I spent
• 25:57
  six years doing college and two of those years were internships
• 26:02
  or they call them co-ops at UBC. So it was like the four year
• 26:06
  undergrad and then instead of I didn't really have summer break,
• 26:09
  I just did internships, but I did 2 years worth of
• 26:12
  internships. So in total I, I did six years
• 26:15
  between. It took six years to do my
• 26:16
  degree. But like I voluntarily
• 26:19
  essentially wanted to like do as many internships as possible.
• 26:23
  But yeah, there are quite a few. There are quite a few stories
• 26:29
  from my college days that I should start metering them out
• 26:33
  on the podcast. They weren't super wild.
• 26:36
  They were not super wild stories.
• 26:37
  I was not a super wild kid in college.
• 26:41
  But it's like basically that first year after the calculus
• 26:45
  nearly flunking first year engineering debacle, I really
• 26:50
  like clamped down and I studied like really hard, but the math
• 26:55
  only got more and more intense. Do you know what?
• 26:58
  Like, do you know what laner algebra is?
• 27:01
  It's fucking bullshit, OK. All this like advanced math,
• 27:05
  it's like calculate the volume of this like really shaped cone.
• 27:13
  Eventually I learned that engineering, being a
• 27:17
  professional engineer was not going to be my thing.
• 27:22
  But yeah, yeah, I've some, I've got some like stories here and
• 27:26
  there. I definitely had AI definitely
• 27:28
  had some crushes. Oh, I, I, I need to, I need to
• 27:33
  tell you guys about Alvin. This is like a really big crush
• 27:37
  I had. Unfortunately, we're out of time
• 27:39
  today. We're out of time today.
• 27:42
  It's there's no time limit for this podcast.
• 27:44
  But when I say time's up on the podcast and the time time is up
• 27:47
  on this podcast, I should probably save the Alvin story
• 27:50
  for uncut episodes on my Patreon, which you can all
