Speaker 3: You guys remember playing musical chairs and gym class.
Speaker 4: I think that's where my anxiety why.
Speaker 1: I hate I hate it because of your going around
Speaker 1: and I think I sat on about five or six
Speaker 1: kids you ever pulled.
Speaker 4: You had an advantage, I.
Speaker 1: Know, because the problem is they had an advantage. They
Speaker 1: were faster than I was.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was tough. My the worst things
Speaker 1: we did in gym class obviously the rope I don't
Speaker 1: even know if they even do that anymore. We had
Speaker 1: to climb the rope. They ain't happening, okay. Then then
Speaker 1: it was the shuttle runs where you do the shuttle
Speaker 1: runs where you know, and they was back then they
Speaker 1: used to have chalkboards, but they would do like the
Speaker 1: erasers or chalkboards, and you had to go pick it
Speaker 1: up and then run. But you'd have to run, get
Speaker 1: low to bend over and pick it up and do
Speaker 1: the thing. And I was like, oh, it was the worst.
Speaker 1: Which part of that was the worst for you? Bending over? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the running, The running wasn't bad. I wasn't like a
Speaker 1: horrible runner.
Speaker 2: But my favorite gym game it was called Dragons and
Speaker 2: the Flies. And on one side of the gym you
Speaker 2: were designated the dragons and the other side were the flies.
Speaker 2: And the goal, if you were a fly was to run.
Speaker 2: They will say go and everybody would like run in
Speaker 2: the middle. And if you were a fly, you had
Speaker 2: to try to not get tagged by the dragons.
Speaker 4: And if you had to get to the other side and.
Speaker 1: Get to the other side, and you just keep going.
Speaker 1: It was that game was so hyphed. Do we have
Speaker 1: any gym teachers listening, because I would love to know
Speaker 1: from gym teachers, are you guys able to do a
Speaker 1: lot of the same stuff that you did when you
Speaker 1: were a kid?
Speaker 4: Like do you still have the parishute?
Speaker 1: I love the parashote.
Speaker 4: It was the best when they brought out that parachute.
Speaker 1: They brought the parishes describe it.
Speaker 4: It's as big as this room, all different fremo colors.
Speaker 1: What did you do with it? You'd get around, you
Speaker 1: would get around and everybody would kind of like through
Speaker 1: the whole.
Speaker 3: Thing, and then you'd do it up in the air
Speaker 3: and put it over everybody's heads and then bring it
Speaker 3: down and everybody would sit on the Yeah, it made
Speaker 3: like a tent.
Speaker 1: What was that? That had to be like some kind
Speaker 1: of a they must have, like a gym teacher convention
Speaker 1: or something, and they sell those at it. Like I
Speaker 1: always wondered, like, why is it that we all did
Speaker 1: the same exact thing. They had a book? What did
Speaker 1: they use those for in real life?
Speaker 6: Ut parachute that people use when they jump out of planes?
Speaker 1: I don't know, But can I tell you that my
Speaker 1: one of my best buddies is Coach Jamie. Coach Jamie
Speaker 1: is a gym teacher, and one year I said to him,
Speaker 1: I go, man, we could never pass the physical fitness test,
Speaker 1: and he goes, let me give it to you guys.
Speaker 1: He gave the show a physical fitness test, the whatever
Speaker 1: the PA.
Speaker 3: It's now called the Pacer Test, the Pacer Test, it
Speaker 3: used to be called the Presidential.
Speaker 1: Presidential Fitness Test. We failed miserably. It looked it looked
Speaker 1: like a group of honestly people go into a fat
Speaker 1: farm showing it was so funny, and we all showed
Speaker 1: up there. We're all like dying. We like, where's the
Speaker 1: act he's actually do him? I go, where is the
Speaker 1: uh what is it the a ed or the e?
Speaker 1: Wherever that thing is the thing that's in the wall
Speaker 1: that Yeah, and uh, we did that whole thing. But
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was actually a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: See, my gym class was only fun. I was literally
Speaker 2: just talking about this with Josiah yesterday. They don't stretch anymore.
Speaker 2: Like Josiah has a very hard time to your point,
Speaker 2: bending over, benning over and touching his toes. Like when
Speaker 2: we went to gym, we used to do the little
Speaker 2: arm circle things and they go back dude to neck.
Speaker 2: Used to stretch all of that beginning. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: we used to.
Speaker 1: Just have fun. So when I coached basketball, we would
Speaker 1: do that before practice. Everybody would have to stretch and
Speaker 1: stuff and you'd have to like get on the ground
Speaker 1: and do the whole thing like you hold your leg players. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's it's weird that they don't do that at all.
Speaker 1: They don't even have Jim every day of the week.
Speaker 1: They Jim has turned into pe. It's really turned into
Speaker 1: always want people physical education.
Speaker 2: But the education part I feel like for me in
Speaker 2: middle school wasn't really there, like it was a It
Speaker 2: was basically like a second recess.
Speaker 1: Yes, now they're actually like learning weed.
Speaker 4: M god, I'm the most in the world.
Speaker 1: Did you hate it because it let the dumb people
Speaker 1: catch up to you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I hated it because I was picked to last for
Speaker 3: everything because everybody knew.
Speaker 4: Everybody knew that I was not an athletic kid.
Speaker 3: We're fast, like I really am fast. I will give
Speaker 3: myself that, but I'm just I'm really clumsy. I'm not coordinated.
Speaker 3: It was obvious you fast ish.
Speaker 1: You don't look fast because you again, you kick your
Speaker 1: ass when you when you run. I've never seen anybody
Speaker 1: with their legs. We played it. We played a softball
Speaker 1: game one time. I remember it was like all the
Speaker 1: TV stations, radio or kickball, and Shannon was running the
Speaker 1: for and she she she runs cute like that's the thing.
Speaker 4: She's like, that's trying to be nice.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 4: But I am fast, by the way.
Speaker 1: She's guarant We're gonna have to prove this. I want
Speaker 1: to see how fast.
Speaker 4: I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: Eight four four Mojo Live eight four four six six
Speaker 1: five six five four eight. The text is nine five
Speaker 1: five zero zero uh to get through to us. I
Speaker 1: One of the other things that I used to love
Speaker 1: doing is uh, we would do you know basketball, like
Speaker 1: during basketball season. We would do touch football during touch
Speaker 1: you know football season and stuff like that, and then
Speaker 1: we would do kickball during what was the spring and
Speaker 1: baseball season. The thing I hated though, the one teacher,
Speaker 1: mister Nordean, I had a male gym teacher one year,
Speaker 1: made us do shirts and skins. Oh yeah, we had
Speaker 1: to do shirts and skins when the guys were playing.
Speaker 1: So the guy, so you were on one team, you
Speaker 1: were wearing your shirt, you're on the other team. To
Speaker 1: show that you weren't on that team, you'd have to
Speaker 1: take your shirt off. And the funniest was I was
Speaker 1: so embarrassed to take my shirt off anywhere, Like I
Speaker 1: would wear my shirt in the pool, but you take
Speaker 1: a bath at home. But you know who had it
Speaker 1: worse than me with my having my shirt off, the
Speaker 1: guy guarding me. I just let you go. Every time
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy guarding me had to like, you know,
Speaker 1: he's like, I mean, I'd score like twenty five points
Speaker 1: were you a sweater? Oh, I sweat. First off, I
Speaker 1: had hair underneath my arms when I think it was
Speaker 1: in the third grade. Literally, I had more hair in
Speaker 1: my arms than most Kldian men have on their head. Yeah,
