<v Speaker 2>I had a kid approach me for a project that

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>he's doing for class. And he said that they're doing

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a they're doing biographies, and they're writing biographies on people

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.279
<v Speaker 2>that they are interested in. And he approached me. And

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 2>this kid is a really smart kid. I said to him,

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I go, so tell me what your aspirations are. And

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>he goes, I'm going to go to University of Michigan.

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:40.720

<v Speaker 2>you know you're going to University of Michigan. You're a

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:43.839

<v Speaker 2>to University of Michigan.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You're a smart kid. And he goes to a very smart,

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>smart kid school. So you're smarter. Your parents are donating

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>the library.

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>That could be that could be well, mister Forbes, no,

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I know. So he's telling me that he wants to

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>do a biography, and I said to myself, I'm like,

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I actually kind of like this because

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.199
<v Speaker 2>i'd like to have I've always wanted to write a book,

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>but I'm too lazy to write. Like I don't even

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 2>read books. I listen to them on tape, you know

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. Like I'm an audible kind of guy.

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.320
<v Speaker 2>So I said to him, go, absolutely, let's do this thing.

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>And he says, well, can you get together on Saturday?

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 2>And I'm thinking myself wow, and he goes, yeah. He goes,

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm one that likes to get my projects done early

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>because I like to get them all done and then

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.000

<v Speaker 1>He may have to move that show like the Jonas Brothers.

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>But no. But so, so.

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>We're so we're talking and we're having and I said

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to my go listen, I don't think I can do Saturday.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do anything right now. I want

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to wait for I want to wait till Chelse is

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>good and everything's good before I just leave for stuff

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>If I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna leave for something that

0:01:59.160 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to go do.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like play golf or something like that. So I say,

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>can we do it in a couple of weeks? He goes, yeah, absolutely,

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>no problem. But it got me thinking, I don't think

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I've ever done a project that wasn't done or at

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 2>least completed the night before the Sunday night. It was

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 2>always remember they're always done on due on Mondays, and

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it was always Sunday night when the tick tick of

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>sixty minutes came on television and my parents would be

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 2>watching sixty minutes and I'd be like, I need poster board,

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Or I need or can

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 2>somebody type this for me or somebody you know what

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, trying to figure it out, and I'm thinking myself,

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>this kid in my son, Jacob, is like this kid

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Jacob is a get it done now because I don't

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 2>want the anxiety of being late with it. Joe Luke myself,

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>we are wait till the last minute in hopes that

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>they cancel the project. You know what I mean, Like,

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 2>isn't that crazy that somebody would ask They say, hey,

0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I got my teacher gave me this assignment.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>It's in February.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking myself, what teacher gives an assignment that's doing February.

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's probably a huge project for like a big

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 3>chunk of his grade.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 4>I can for somebody.

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>To make fun of me.

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 3>That was me, especially in high school, high school, college.

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 3>As soon as I got a big assignment like that,

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I got instant anxiety. So to ease some of the anxiety,

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I just got a huge piece of it done, so

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 3>at least I felt a little bit ahead.

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I was a nerd.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I was a nerd photo nerd with really good grades

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>where it got me a valedictorian.

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 5>Sitting next to him radio class, Like for me, I

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 5>think it's I don't I think I was lazy Or

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 5>when you hear a date that's so far out, you

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 5>think you have so much time, So I was like,

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 5>I'll get to it.

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 4>But then it's also and maybe this is just how

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 4>I told myself and made myself believe.

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's almost like the pressures on I do better

0:03:59.360 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it's like the.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Games on and also like somebody else's schedule, you have

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>to work around here, which is Mojo's. So he's I

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 3>think this kid's so smart.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, and it's funny because I was telling Chelsea about

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>this and Chelsea goes, well, it's fitting because most husbands

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>are when their wives say hey, can you pick up this,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, or like something around the house.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>You got it?

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>They want you to do something, every guy always says, yeah,

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>I'll get to it, you know.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>What I mean. Like it's one of those things.

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 2>And that pretty much is the explanation of what I

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>was like as a student.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Like most of them.

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 4>I used to take the trash out the morning of

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 4>like I'll wake up early enough, right, I'll get to it.

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and I and I don't bring the garbage

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>cans in at all because I just keep him out

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>there and throw my garbage, and then I don't take

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>out the garbage the next week.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>What's up, Megan? How you doing good? How are you good?

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>You're a teacher? Huh, you're a high school teacher? I

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:47.919
<v Speaker 1>am yeah.

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you believe a kid is doing a project a

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>about me? But secondly doing a project that's not due

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>till February and is already starting to work on this thing.

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, I pretty much just teach like ninth grade as

0:04:59.640 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 6>the school.

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 7>Then I work out.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 6>But I know that the seniors have to do a

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 6>senior project. Yeah, so usually they start doing that and

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 6>then they have several drafts and they have to turn

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 6>it in by February March.

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, I.

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 6>Would procrastinate it too, but I but I a plus

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 6>to them.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you look as a as a teacher when you

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 2>look at a kid that starts on it the moment

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 2>that you give the assignment? Do you look at that

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>kid like and giving them an a like I'm just

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>going to give him the grade right.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 6>Now most of the time, or I'm like, oh, he's

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 6>gonna he's gonna sell this and somebody else is gonna

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 6>cheat off of it.

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't think about that. That is so funny.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I never thought about the fact that the kid could

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 2>be writing in other people's reports.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.640

<v Speaker 1>Never do it again.

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 7>I went to college years later in my thirties, had

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 7>an entire semester to do a project. Did it the

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 7>night before everything in college in my thirties, and I

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 7>was back in college. It was so funny, but I

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 7>got it done and I got.

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 6>An A on both a sigements.

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>See that's awesome, that's good that you did great, But

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>it's what is it? The night before becomes one of

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>those things where you're staying up late. You're trying to

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>keep yourself I don't know, monster energy, drinks, y.

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 7>Motivation, and that's all it is.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 6>ADHDS is what we.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Do as a parent to these kids.

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>It's funny how many times Chelsea has stayed up late

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 2>with the boys to help them finish off stuff.

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Like as a mom, she she would do that. Was

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>she ever? Uh? You know what?

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I think she looked at it as an opportunity to

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>spend time with them like she really, you know, kind

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>of was good with it.

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't give a damn how sweet you are. You

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 4>got me up at one in the morning doing a

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 4>project and.

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Before no, the thing that honestly would piss both of

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>us off more was that they wouldn't tell us what

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>they needed.

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>And so it is no joke.

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 2>You had nothing open, so it'd be Sunday night and

0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to get all the stuff and the only

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 2>place that's open is a Walgreens, you know what I mean.

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 2>And so you're and you're getting bottomed and then you

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>come home with it and they're like, oh, that's awf.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, well that's all they got. Idle nines only

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>got so much. But all right, it's Moojoe in the morning.
