Speaker 1: Oh for crying out loud.
Speaker 2: Just stop.
Speaker 1: It's one more thing.
Speaker 2: I'm strong and.
Speaker 3: Started a special, a special Michelangelo hosted One More Thing podcast.
Speaker 3: But before we get to that, we have lost one
Speaker 3: of the great voice actors in cartoon history.
Speaker 2: Morning John Redcorn.
Speaker 3: Oh, Peggy, just dropping off a new healing or for
Speaker 3: Nancy to help with their migraines.
Speaker 2: Kinko Biloba. Oh yeah, uh huh sure, I've heard of
Speaker 2: that kidnap his jeep.
Speaker 3: So, the actor who played John Redcorn in King of
Speaker 3: the Hill has died. He was shot to death by
Speaker 3: his neighbor, which is a horrible story. I've gotten some
Speaker 3: sort of disagreement in his neighbor shot him, but I
Speaker 3: just thought it was a good excuse to play anything
Speaker 3: from King of the one more John Redcorn clip.
Speaker 2: Thank God you're here, John Redcorn.
Speaker 1: Nancy won't come out of the bug of Bago.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Nancy has a headache and requires treatment. I
Speaker 2: will need about an hour and a bottle of USTe spumanti.
Speaker 1: I'll get it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: King of the Hill, So my son is on a
Speaker 3: King of the hillkick and anytime I log any time
Speaker 3: with it, like I'm walking through the living room and
Speaker 3: watch part of an episode with him. That show is
Speaker 3: so freaking funny.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3: But the idea that Dale and his wife have one
Speaker 3: child who is an Indian looking kid and looks just
Speaker 3: like John Redcorn who comes and helps his wife with
Speaker 3: their migraines is too much.
Speaker 2: All hours of the day and night. Oh that is.
Speaker 3: Rough anyway, Rest in peace, the voice of John Redcorn
Speaker 3: back to you, Michael.
Speaker 1: All right, So I went to a high school graduation
Speaker 1: on this past week.
Speaker 3: Fantastic.
Speaker 1: So it was one hundred degree weather. I'm sitting on
Speaker 1: metal bleachers, which is hard to do when you're your fifties.
Speaker 2: Was it outside?
Speaker 1: It was outside the undred two degree weather in direct sunlight.
Speaker 2: Oh boy?
Speaker 1: The great people watching is like a state fair crowd
Speaker 1: because you see everybody's families, and you know, everyone's family
Speaker 1: is goofy and so a lot of extended family there.
Speaker 1: So the stadium is just packed. But you were talking
Speaker 1: about earlier in the show.
Speaker 3: About was everybody wearing a hat and trying to stay
Speaker 3: live hat and not.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of skimpy dresses and some people
Speaker 1: shouldn't be wearing this stuff because there's a hundred degrees
Speaker 1: and they're just you know, letting it all hang out.
Speaker 2: Judging Mcjudgerson. Well, body sham. I get a graduation anyway.
Speaker 1: But they had a school band that has to play
Speaker 1: all the music. Like you had mentioned, you get ready,
Speaker 1: this was the worst high school band I've ever know.
Speaker 1: It was so bad that people in the crowd were
Speaker 1: either cringing or laughing. One person yelled, just play the radio.
Speaker 2: Which what was the band playing? Pumping?
Speaker 1: Yes, but they couldn't play it at all. It was
Speaker 1: literally like our show open on Monday mornings. That band. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it literally sounded the same.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Well that's that's because I've played that as Joe has.
Speaker 3: It's not a difficult song.
Speaker 1: But I guess it's people that were there because they
Speaker 1: have high school football games. They said, we have the
Speaker 1: worst band in the like in the city. It has
Speaker 1: been like this all year long. I guess they have
Speaker 1: not gotten any better at all.
Speaker 2: It's horrible. That's on the teacher. Yeah, it's on the band, teacher.
Speaker 2: And you got to practice at home. Kids.
Speaker 4: Come on, I tell you that every day and nobody does.
Speaker 4: So to hell with you. I'm going to my office
Speaker 4: to drink.
Speaker 3: I remember when we did it in a high school band,
Speaker 3: because you play for like a half an hour. To
Speaker 3: give everybody a rest, we'd like break into groups, so
Speaker 3: like you didn't have to play for this segment. Well,
Speaker 3: these guys played and then they they would take a
Speaker 3: rest in you'd play because you couldn't just play NonStop
Speaker 3: with if you used your lips for your instrument, like
Speaker 3: we trumpet players, did you get too tired. But they
Speaker 3: just just couldn't play.
Speaker 1: Or they could not play were they just people would
Speaker 1: be off key or it didn't matter. It just sounded terrible.
Speaker 2: That's awful. That'd be amusing. I hate to hear that.
Speaker 3: The poor kids out there drying sitting in the heat.
Speaker 3: Maybe the heat it's hard to stay in tune when
Speaker 3: it's that hot.
Speaker 1: Now, I guess they're really just bad, you know. I
Speaker 1: had several people say, yeah, I've been at all the
Speaker 1: football games. Our football team is great, our band is awful.
Speaker 1: So I've just never seen, you know, a band not
Speaker 1: get any better from the start of school to graduate.
Speaker 3: I remember when our band was worse, the marching band,
Speaker 3: because we would play outside, not in the heat, but
Speaker 3: the freezing cold, and sometimes a football game. It might
Speaker 3: be fifteen blow zero with the windshill, and you had
Speaker 3: to carry your mouthpiece like in your pocket or keep
Speaker 3: it in your hand to have it warm enough. And
Speaker 3: then it's time to play, you'd quick put it on
Speaker 3: your horn. But and like the wind blowing and it's
Speaker 3: so cold, and you could tell the sound wasn't going
Speaker 3: more than like six inches out of your horn before
Speaker 3: it stops, so nobody could probably hear you anyway.
Speaker 4: Well right, yeah, the wind would be blowing in the
Speaker 4: wrong direction away from those stands and they could barely
Speaker 4: hear that you were playing. Oh yeah, man, that was
Speaker 4: tough duty.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So my nephew was graduating and he graduated with honors
Speaker 1: and is you know, everybody's really excited. We had our
Speaker 1: whole family there. But we got these special horns that
Speaker 1: I guess are extra loud. I didn't realize how loud
Speaker 1: they were. And we had cowbells and so they call
Speaker 1: his name and it was like a train had just
Speaker 1: you know, was coming at you and it scared the
Speaker 1: rest of the crowd that was next.
Speaker 2: It was so loud like air horns. Oh yeah, So
Speaker 2: did lots of people do this or were you the
Speaker 2: only ones?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Quite a few people.
Speaker 2: That's a thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Well, like when I graduated high school, maybe
Speaker 3: none of the parents liked their kids, but we all
Speaker 3: just everybody just sat there quietly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in fact, there was no they told you no
Speaker 4: applause until.
Speaker 2: All the graduates. It's across the stage. There's much more decorum.
Speaker 1: And oh no, people are popping things now, loud poppers.
Speaker 2: So how big a crowd you can gather to celebrate you?
Speaker 5: Yes, your name is Popularity contest right up to the end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly, might as well take that hole. Who's popular,
Speaker 3: who's not? Clear to the last moment of high school life. Oh,
Speaker 3: you've got a big family with who's willing to spend
Speaker 3: the money on the horns? And I don't great, Well
Speaker 3: miss you all, you bastards. My family had cow bell.
Speaker 2: How'd you do? Yeah exactly, Yeah, I hate that.
Speaker 4: I really don't like the noise. You've got a big
Speaker 4: family and they all came great. You know what I know?
Speaker 4: Jenny her pa is like two point one and she's
Speaker 4: a bit of a slut, So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, who's clipping. I like what you said, Katie.
Speaker 3: Popularity contest, right up to the final moment of being
Speaker 3: a high schooler. Yes, let's just finish it off with
Speaker 3: yet one more who's ranked where in the populace.
Speaker 4: Actually, let's have a final look at status before we
Speaker 4: all go on to our future.
Speaker 3: Lives and which at which time, By the way, all
Speaker 3: that status will change dramatically for the rest now right.
Speaker 1: It's funny though, when the kids got their names yelled,
Speaker 1: you know, when they were announced to walk down the stage,
Speaker 1: they were either really embarrassed or you know, laughing, having
Speaker 1: a good time. But some of them, you know, they
Speaker 1: the crowd would share form and they were just horrified.
Speaker 1: You could just tell they did.
Speaker 3: That's become a thing, and it may have been the
Speaker 3: thing for the last thirty years, because I graduated a
Speaker 3: long time ago. But we were a couple of things
Speaker 3: over the weekend. We came across where there were big
Speaker 3: parties going on, and I was explaining to my son
Speaker 3: about how some people are just throw a party people
Speaker 3: and some people aren't. I mean, I said, you come
Speaker 3: from a long line if we don't really have parties
Speaker 3: for this sort of thing, like maybe with the immediately
Speaker 3: fam Meeta family, but like there was this room that
Speaker 3: gets rented out near where I live they'd rented out
Speaker 3: a room and there must have been fifty people there
Speaker 3: from some seventh grade girl who's becoming an eighth grader
Speaker 3: or whatever, and they threw a giant party because some
Speaker 3: people just like any reason for celebration. It's like a
Speaker 3: gender reveal. My wife and I, you know, we looked
Speaker 3: at the paper ourselves and we went to eat, and
Speaker 3: you know how we're having a boy. But some people
Speaker 3: decide to have a party and invite fifty people, which
Speaker 3: is fine, not against it. It's just you're either that
Speaker 3: kind of person or you're not that you have a
Speaker 3: giant bringing everybody in for everything you do. Because like
Speaker 3: I said to my son, you know, all the other
Speaker 3: seventh grade girls are moving on to eighth grade two
Speaker 3: they're probably not having parties, but this girl is for
Speaker 3: whatever is.
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, you should bring that up. I
Speaker 4: was daydreaming over the weekend. I attended a social function,
Speaker 4: which was fine, it was good, but I can only
Speaker 4: you know, hang for a certain amount of time as
Speaker 4: an introvert, and I was thinking I should ask chat
Speaker 4: GPT to help me design an organization for introverts and
Speaker 4: how we would have meetings, how to finesse that I'm
Speaker 4: thinking it would have to do with quite small groups
Speaker 4: for one thing. I mean you might have like the
Speaker 4: initial quick meetup, but then you'd go into small groups
Speaker 4: that you can deal with because loud clamoring, yelling, everybody
Speaker 4: shouting small talk at each other stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I'm sorry, I murdered that guy. Just execute me?
Speaker 2: What should just make this stop?
Speaker 4: There's there's got to be a way to get because
Speaker 4: even introverts need human contact. That's just that most human
Speaker 4: contact is administered. It's run by.
Speaker 3: Extroverts, right, and they think the more the merrier.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna work on this project. This could be
Speaker 4: my zillion dollar idea because I would become kind of
Speaker 4: the guru of it, and I would like the my
Speaker 4: name would be attached to it. And yeah, it'd be
Speaker 4: like the abundance thing or what else has been a
Speaker 4: hot trend lately, I don't know.
Speaker 3: So like if you get if you get pregnicaated b
Speaker 3: red girl summer, I would be this summer's bread girl. Wow,
Speaker 3: you become pregnicatd well, you have a big gender reveal
Speaker 3: party with lots of people, Like, I'm not disparaging and
Speaker 3: it's just you're either that kind of person or you're not.
Speaker 2: No, I will not, I will not.
Speaker 5: I I don't know because I actually I just went
Speaker 5: to one recently, and then like three weeks later it
Speaker 5: was the bridal shower or not bridle shower, baby shower.
Speaker 5: So it was like one thing after the next. No,
Speaker 5: I'm good, we'll we'll do it privately.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: People I've known we're into that thing. There's always some reason.
Speaker 3: So you can have one like practically once a month.
Speaker 2: If you like it.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
