Speaker 2: the show right now. If you're a high school teacher,
Speaker 2: will you kind of give me an idea If you
Speaker 2: are listening, text and tell me at nine five five
Speaker 2: zero zero, because I want to ask you guys a question.
Speaker 2: I had a kid approach me for a project that
Speaker 2: he's doing for class. And he said that they're doing
Speaker 2: a they're doing biographies, and they're writing biographies on people
Speaker 2: that they are interested in. And he approached me. And
Speaker 2: this kid is a really smart kid. I said to him,
Speaker 2: I go, so tell me what your aspirations are. And
Speaker 2: he goes, I'm going to go to University of Michigan.
Speaker 2: And I said to him, I go, well, how do
Speaker 2: you know you're going to University of Michigan. You're a
Speaker 2: senior in high school. And he goes, all right, you
Speaker 2: know I'm going to university? Am I going to if
Speaker 2: you already know that you got accepted or you're going
Speaker 2: to University of Michigan.
Speaker 1: You're a smart kid. And he goes to a very smart,
Speaker 1: smart kid school. So you're smarter. Your parents are donating
Speaker 1: the library.
Speaker 2: That could be that could be well, mister Forbes, no,
Speaker 2: I know. So he's telling me that he wants to
Speaker 2: do a biography, and I said to myself, I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I actually kind of like this because
Speaker 2: i'd like to have I've always wanted to write a book,
Speaker 2: but I'm too lazy to write. Like I don't even
Speaker 2: read books. I listen to them on tape, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like I'm an audible kind of guy.
Speaker 2: So I said to him, go, absolutely, let's do this thing.
Speaker 2: And he says, well, can you get together on Saturday?
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking myself wow, and he goes, yeah. He goes,
Speaker 2: I'm one that likes to get my projects done early
Speaker 2: because I like to get them all done and then
Speaker 2: if I have to retouch and touch up and all
Speaker 2: this stuff, and I'm like.
Speaker 1: You are an f and do gooder. He's he's it
Speaker 1: Sharon selling tickets today for.
Speaker 2: Any that's doing that, because he may not sell all
Speaker 2: those tickets.
Speaker 1: He may have to move that show like the Jonas Brothers.
Speaker 1: But no. But so, so.
Speaker 2: We're so we're talking and we're having and I said
Speaker 2: to my go listen, I don't think I can do Saturday.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do anything right now. I want
Speaker 2: to wait for I want to wait till Chelse is
Speaker 2: good and everything's good before I just leave for stuff
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna leave for something that
Speaker 1: I want to go do.
Speaker 2: It's like play golf or something like that. So I say,
Speaker 2: can we do it in a couple of weeks? He goes, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 2: no problem. But it got me thinking, I don't think
Speaker 2: I've ever done a project that wasn't done or at
Speaker 2: least completed the night before the Sunday night. It was
Speaker 2: always remember they're always done on due on Mondays, and
Speaker 2: it was always Sunday night when the tick tick of
Speaker 2: sixty minutes came on television and my parents would be
Speaker 2: watching sixty minutes and I'd be like, I need poster board,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Or I need or can
Speaker 2: somebody type this for me or somebody you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, trying to figure it out, and I'm thinking myself,
Speaker 2: this kid in my son, Jacob, is like this kid
Speaker 2: Jacob is a get it done now because I don't
Speaker 2: want the anxiety of being late with it. Joe Luke myself,
Speaker 2: we are wait till the last minute in hopes that
Speaker 2: they cancel the project. You know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 2: isn't that crazy that somebody would ask They say, hey,
Speaker 2: I got my teacher gave me this assignment.
Speaker 1: It's in February.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking myself, what teacher gives an assignment that's doing February.
Speaker 3: Well, it's probably a huge project for like a big
Speaker 3: chunk of his grade.
Speaker 4: I can for somebody.
Speaker 1: To make fun of me.
Speaker 3: That was me, especially in high school, high school, college.
Speaker 3: As soon as I got a big assignment like that,
Speaker 3: I got instant anxiety. So to ease some of the anxiety,
Speaker 3: I just got a huge piece of it done, so
Speaker 3: at least I felt a little bit ahead.
Speaker 1: I was a nerd.
Speaker 3: I was a nerd photo nerd with really good grades
Speaker 3: where it got me a valedictorian.
Speaker 5: Sitting next to him radio class, Like for me, I
Speaker 5: think it's I don't I think I was lazy Or
Speaker 5: when you hear a date that's so far out, you
Speaker 5: think you have so much time, So I was like,
Speaker 5: I'll get to it.
Speaker 4: But then it's also and maybe this is just how
Speaker 4: I told myself and made myself believe.
Speaker 1: But it's almost like the pressures on I do better
Speaker 1: it's like the.
Speaker 3: Games on and also like somebody else's schedule, you have
Speaker 3: to work around here, which is Mojo's. So he's I
Speaker 3: think this kid's so smart.
Speaker 2: Well, and it's funny because I was telling Chelsea about
Speaker 2: this and Chelsea goes, well, it's fitting because most husbands
Speaker 2: are when their wives say hey, can you pick up this,
Speaker 2: you know, or like something around the house.
Speaker 1: You got it?
Speaker 2: They want you to do something, every guy always says, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll get to it, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean. Like it's one of those things.
Speaker 2: And that pretty much is the explanation of what I
Speaker 2: was like as a student.
Speaker 1: Like most of them.
Speaker 4: I used to take the trash out the morning of
Speaker 4: like I'll wake up early enough, right, I'll get to it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I and I don't bring the garbage
Speaker 2: cans in at all because I just keep him out
Speaker 2: there and throw my garbage, and then I don't take
Speaker 2: out the garbage the next week.

Speaker 1: You're a teacher? Huh, you're a high school teacher? I
Speaker 1: am yeah.
Speaker 2: Can you believe a kid is doing a project a
Speaker 2: about me? But secondly doing a project that's not due
Speaker 2: till February and is already starting to work on this thing.
Speaker 6: Well, I pretty much just teach like ninth grade as
Speaker 6: the school.
Speaker 7: Then I work out.
Speaker 6: But I know that the seniors have to do a
Speaker 6: senior project. Yeah, so usually they start doing that and
Speaker 6: then they have several drafts and they have to turn
Speaker 6: it in by February March.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Would procrastinate it too, but I but I a plus
Speaker 6: to them.
Speaker 2: Do you look as a as a teacher when you
Speaker 2: look at a kid that starts on it the moment
Speaker 2: that you give the assignment? Do you look at that
Speaker 2: kid like and giving them an a like I'm just
Speaker 2: going to give him the grade right.
Speaker 6: Now most of the time, or I'm like, oh, he's
Speaker 6: gonna he's gonna sell this and somebody else is gonna
Speaker 6: cheat off of it.
Speaker 1: I don't think about that. That is so funny.

Speaker 6: An A on both a sigements.
Speaker 2: See that's awesome, that's good that you did great, But

Speaker 2: keep yourself I don't know, monster energy, drinks, y.
Speaker 7: Motivation, and that's all it is.
Speaker 6: ADHDS is what we.
Speaker 1: Do as a parent to these kids.
Speaker 2: It's funny how many times Chelsea has stayed up late
Speaker 2: with the boys to help them finish off stuff.
Speaker 1: Like as a mom, she she would do that. Was
Speaker 1: she ever? Uh? You know what?
Speaker 2: I think she looked at it as an opportunity to
Speaker 2: spend time with them like she really, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of was good with it.
Speaker 4: I don't give a damn how sweet you are. You
Speaker 4: got me up at one in the morning doing a
Speaker 4: project and.
Speaker 2: Before no, the thing that honestly would piss both of
Speaker 2: us off more was that they wouldn't tell us what
Speaker 2: they needed.
Speaker 1: And so it is no joke.
Speaker 2: You had nothing open, so it'd be Sunday night and
Speaker 2: you're trying to get all the stuff and the only
Speaker 2: place that's open is a Walgreens, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And so you're and you're getting bottomed and then you
Speaker 2: come home with it and they're like, oh, that's awf.
