WEBVTT - Stop the Levity Right Now!

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Mister Bruce will start there. It's one more thing, I'm

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>strong and getty. One more. I'm going to parent teacher

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>conferences for my son over the next couple of days.

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>And he's got one particular teacher that he does not

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 1>particularly like.

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Every kid has that, I think in that situation.

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Sure, And some of the examples he's given sound

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>semi unpalatable. I mean, you know, I the beholder. Sure,

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, but two sides every story. Of course. I

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>was thinking about some of the teachers that I did

0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.959
<v Speaker 1>not like as opposed to teachers I liked. I had

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>many teachers that I liked a lot, were freaking awesome,

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>and I wish I wish I had a way to

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>get a hold of them or they were live so

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I could tell them how much I thought they were awesome. Yeah,

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>amen to that, But there were there were some So

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering if Katie Jo Michael can think of

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>any examples. I've got a couple that, speaking of mister Bruce,

0:00:56.080 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>either didn't like or were weird. Mister Bruce.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Would sounds like a gay fashion icon or something consultant.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I've wondered that over the years he was he he

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>was pretty swishy, and I don't know if that had

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>anything to do with anything or n was his last

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>name Bruce or his first name Bruce. I think his

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 1>last name was Bruce. Okay, all, and mister Bruce is appropriate.

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember anyway. I'm in like fifth grade, gladys.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe one harp since these are all going to be

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>from its tiresome. After a while, it was, gosh, she

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>got carpal tunnel, and then we'll be on the hook.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>She's on our insurance plan. Mister Bruce. After lunch every

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>day he would walk in. He had a locker there,

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and we all knew it. I mean we became accustomed

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.399
<v Speaker 1>to so we'd wait for it. It was part of the act.

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>He'd come back after recess, and so we got lunch

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>in recess. He'd come in. He'd walk over his turtle

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>next wetter and he would open up the locker and

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>he would get out a big thing of listine, like

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the old gross yellow kind that wasn't like minty. You

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>probably don't even know this, Katie, but it didn't used

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.919
<v Speaker 1>to be minty or whatever. He just didn't even try

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to make it palatin him. No, it's just like taste

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it like caustic chemicals or alcohol, which is what it was. Yeah,

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>And he would he would he would take his listerine

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and he would pour himself a big thing of listerine

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and he'd put in his mouth and he'd tilts his

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>head back in front of the classroom and go do

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the whole gargle right in front of us, and then

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>he would turn and look at us and then he

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>would go swallow it down, and we'd all go ew.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Every day, swallow it yeah, which I now realize was

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>him basically taking a shot of whiskey to deal with

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>teaching fifth grader's social study. You know who can blame him, wow,

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>But every day and it just became a thing, you know,

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>ew every single day with that smile on his face

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>as he swallowed down his listerine, having just gargled up

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever was in his mouth.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.239
<v Speaker 2>The one the one thing I've realized is I have

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>compared notes through my life, is that if you never

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 2>had a band director that through things at the kids,

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 2>you're a rarity. I mean, I thought that was so

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 2>crazy that our band director would get mad and chuck

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>his keys and usually it'd be over somebody's head or

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>something like that a warning shot. But in comparing notes

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>with other musicians, especially through my life, they're like, wow,

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>my guy did that.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Too, Yeah, didn't band director through things? Racers, batons?

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The The unspoken message was I was the most

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 2>gifted musician in my town. My dreams went to hell,

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and now I'm here failing to teach music to kids

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>who don't care.

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Who don't even care about the thing I'm so passionate about. Yeah,

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that would make you mad.

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to some extent.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 2>It's funny now having said that, now I get why

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>all my band directors were so nice to me, because.

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, that don't make a difference. Yeah, that don't

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>make a difference. I get two examples. This is not

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>bad teachers. This is me being dumb, I guess. But

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>twice this happened to me in my career. And it's

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>funny the things that stick in your mind. Obviously it

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>made an imprint on me. My doctor was telling me

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the other day about what they've learned about things that

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 1>are sticky in your brain. Oh, I'd love to hear me, man.

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's super interesting, and a lot of it is

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 1>I have memories that are inexplicable. Why would I remember that. Yeah,

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not always easy to know, but a lot of

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.799
<v Speaker 1>it is just evolution. It's like to remember this fear

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>moment so you don't have it to have it again.

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 1>You know this almost killed you or almost killed you

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But a couple of them because I was

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>just so frightened. One time, we're in line, so this

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 1>would have been fifth grade, because I can picture the teacher.

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I can picture that she was wearing a blue dress.

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I can picture it like it was yesterday. But the

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 1>fifth grader, somebody said something in line as we're staying

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>in line to go out somewhere, and what was that?

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>She said? And some kids were you mocking me? Who's

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>wocking me? Somebody who's wocking me? Who's I will not

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>put up with this. Somebody was mocking me? And none

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>of us had the slightest idea what mock meant? I know,

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. Yeah, And we were like, what the hell?

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Who did what? And why is she so mad? We've

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>never seen her this mad ever? Right, And I can't

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>answer the question because I don't know what that. You

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know what it is? Who's mocking me? And she

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>went one by one, were you mocking me. I did all.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I may have been or I may not have been.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Know it depends on the meaning of mocking. But anyway,

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>so that sticks in my mind because I was so frightened.

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I was mocking her and I don't know. Uh,

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>there's that one. And then a similar thing with the

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>band teacher. I would have been in eighth grade, and

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I should have known the meaning of this world. Just word.

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>It just shows you how dumb I am. But uh,

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was not paying attention. We were supposed

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to be doing something in band. None of us were.

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And uh, and we're laughing about something. You said, cot

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the levity cock the levity right now? Wow, cut it?

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>And I thought, I don't know what levity is. I

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I'm but I will. I will cut

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it out. You see it, You see me murderously angry.

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>So I will. God, there's any levity in this room,

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll put it in a bucket and carry it out.

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>But I had no idea what he meant. And I

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>can still picture the look on his face. He was furious.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, red faced. Yeah, I don't know what

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>levity is.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the class with which he was upbraiding you

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 2>all and just stained a little high.

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh jeez, Katie, you have.

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 3>Anything, Uh, I I don't. I don't think I had

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.559
<v Speaker 3>like a bad teacher. I had a couple of real

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.239
<v Speaker 3>odd balls though. My I remember my home ex teacher

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:41.719
<v Speaker 3>my freshman year walked around barefoot and she she was

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 3>a large marge, if you know what I mean, and

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 3>all of us she would walk by and we were

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 3>just going.

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Her feet were hot. She need to let him breathe. Yeah,

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>that one.

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 3>And then I remember we had a sub for history,

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I believe, who sounded like Toweley from South Park. She

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 3>talked like this, and we were just giving her all

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 3>sorts of hell.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And I was wearing I.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Was wearing a shirt that said little miss Muffett sat

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 3>on her toffet until Chuck Norris Roundhouse kicked her into

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>a glacier.

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you still remember your teacher wordy t shirt? Yeah.

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.559
<v Speaker 3>And she looked at me and she I just remember going,

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>what does your shirt say? And I stood up and

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 3>I pointed at the back of it like a real jackass,

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 3>and she just went get out.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>She took me out of the classics. That's what my shirt.

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:36.119
<v Speaker 4>Said, get out, Get out. Wow, Sory, that's an hot

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 4>T shirt.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>She was. I have no idea what her name was

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>because we all called her towly. Wow.

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Was your dad aware of that T shirt? Did you

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>ever get a you're not leaving the house in that,

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>young lady?

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, I think he knew I had it. But

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that's not a scene or anything. No, not at all. No,

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's quirky as hell. I love it. Yeah, but

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it was one of those two parts.

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 3>So, like said, the front of it was little miss

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Muffet sat on her toffet, and then I had to

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 3>turn around and show.

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>The back and get out of this class. Wait, why

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, fine, I'll leave Tally. Yeah, I was, oh.

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Jeez, wow, juvenile delinquent. Uh yeah wow. On the other hand,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>there were some great teachers.

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Yep. Can I tell you about mister Yoakum, my science teacher? Sure,

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh my gosh, he was the best. Is I wonder

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 5>he didn't burn down the school or or hurt his student.

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 5>But one time we're out in the playground area and

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 5>also we hear this explosion, like this loud noise. We

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 5>go in to the classroom and there he is, and

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 5>there's smoke coming out from under his arms. He looks

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 5>at us, he goes, damn it, I screwed up again.

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 5>He did this stuff all the time. He'd like to

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 5>take like a model rocket, light it and shoot it

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 5>into the ceiling. The ceiling had holes from all the

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 5>different years that he shot rockets.

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I like, damn, I screwed up again, son of

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought that would work well and for next time.

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 5>For the laws of physics. He would take a bowling ball,

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 5>suspend it from the classroom. I still remember this, and

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 5>he would pull it back and you have a students,

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, say stick your face out.

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And write the idea that it can't go further than

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.839
<v Speaker 1>right gravity will Yeah, I'm aware of that.

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 5>It would get within like a half an inch.

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean I saw one of these days. It's my

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>teacher did that with the tennis ball. But and you

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>know there's no chance really of But still, you don't

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>need a bowling ball coming in with a hair's breadth

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of smashing your face open.

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what if you like lose your balance a little

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and lean forward an inch and a half.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>If you get your skull caved in, try to hold still.

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Michael, we had a teacher like that, as well, who

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 3>I believe listens to the show, mister Lawrence, who I

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 3>will always remember he used to strap Barbie dolls to

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 3>rockets and launch him in the oh the.

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Court like that, I do know, and Joe and I

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.839
<v Speaker 1>have talked about this before. For me, the teachers that

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>were the most feared and hated were always my favorite

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>because one, they they had discipline, so the class was

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>orderly and I could pay attention, and and they were

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>usually they were very enthusiastic about what they were teaching,

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and they were good at teaching it. But man, the

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 1>teachers that were legendarily scary were almost always my favorite.

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah regular yeah, and the legend that you'd hear for

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, the two years approaching eighth grade before you

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 2>finally had mister mean pans right.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, he didn't put up with crap, which is fine

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>with me. Good. One of my favorite teachers, like I had,

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>was a I was a very introverted, not particularly enjoying

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 1>my life kid for all of high school. But my

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>ninth grade English teacher totally got me and understood me

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and everything like that in a way no other teacher

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>ever had. And it was just I mean, it was

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 1>life changing. That's great. It was fantastic.

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember one time I was doodling something I don't remember.

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I was dudeling. I was writing something funny on a

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>piece of paper and he saw it over my shoulder

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and he started laughing and he held it up and

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he said, this is Jack. What you see every day

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>is not Jack. This is Jack. Wow, he said to

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the class. He knew me, good will, hunting, dead poets,

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>society stuff. I think he got fired for uh oh

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>oh boy oh dark turn dark turn alert, dark turnal

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>art allegedly flirting with a student. I don't know if

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>he did or not, but yeah, I'm be unfortunate. Are

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>those things don't go together? No, him recognizing my mind, no,

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 1>not at all. Comedic abilities and uh being attracted to

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:44.959
<v Speaker 1>high school girls don't go together? Is well no, no,

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>yes and no no end.

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he was relating to students as fully human beings,

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to just someone coming through the class. There

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 2>was an infamy alleged affair between a teacher and a

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 2>student at my high school.

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Really what are the ages here? Way too old and

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 1>a senior, so it wasn't like a twenty year old teacher. No, no,

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>which is still, you know, strictly against the rules, and

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you've got to be more disciplined than law.

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but yeah, it was eighteen and sixty five.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I'd have to guess at how old this guy was.

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>He was certainly forty.

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Ooh and forty year old dude.

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 2>The word was they were seriously close friends. They had

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a deep emotional attachment.

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Huh, which happens? And I don't I.

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Don't actually know about any hanky and or panky, And

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't speculate after all these years because my memories

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>are fuzzy. But my the birth of my cynicism, well

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe not the birth. One of the major chapters in

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>my cynicism about human beings was in fifth grade science class,

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 2>where the science teacher was is a halfway. He was

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 2>a mediocrity. I think he couldn't have done anything else

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 2>in life, which is not to denigrate teachers. I know

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>in love quite a few. But he was doing this

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>thing about the difference between hearing and listening, feeling and touching,

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.559
<v Speaker 2>seeing and looking. But he got the last one backward.

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 2>He got it wrong, and he wouldn't admit it. And

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I argued with him, and he said, no, you're wrong,

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 2>You're wrong, and I'm like, wow, okay, so sometimes people

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 2>in authority are a wrong and.

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>B a holes about it. Wow huh that was he

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>taught me an important lesson? Is it turned interesting?

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 5>Didn't one of you have a teacher that made you

0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 5>swim in the nude? No, sir, I thought you.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I had a story about that.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 2>That was Josh my dad in like the nineteen Force.

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 2>It's still weird though I was universal at the time.

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I know Catholic school though, yes, so so yeah, yeah,

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm at the point being Catholic schools are famously unable

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>to afford swim trucks. And there was a lineup all

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the way down the hall for who would get to

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 2>be gym teacher that day among certain of the clergy.

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>She will line up all the boys naked so you

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.480
<v Speaker 1>can give him the once over and choose one of

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>them to be. Oh boy, yeah, sorry, I got it.

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>I told you there was dark turn coming and just

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>took a little longer than I expected.

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>God. And the one thing I liked about mister Champlain

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>also my final story would be when we were doing

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>we had to give a speech about some literature, and

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>he went through this whole complicated thing about introductions to

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>a speech to grab people's attention or everything like that.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, set up, you're what you're going to talk about.

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>And I stood up to give my speech and I said,

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>speaking of Shakespeare from my introduction. And he thought that

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>was hilarious and gave me a wow, that's my whole introduction.

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>That's nice. Oh well, that's a that's swimming naked thing.

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy. Oh one more thing about the schools. This

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>is interesting at uh one of the schools I'm aware of.

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to get anybody in trouble. I don't

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>even know why they did this. It's weird. It's got

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to be something to do with the modern naked math class.

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>The bathroom, the boys' bathroom at the high school.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 5>The urine.

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Each urinal is individual in a stall with a door

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that closes.

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh one, I wonder if they had that like people

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 2>being assaulted thing, because you're rather vulnerable.

0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 3>Is that a trans thing?

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, what do you mean you're Oh, hell of that,

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm saying. What when you mean you're vulnerable?

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It's been the same way forever, but all of a sudden,

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>now you have to be yelling.

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 2>At me just because I haven't figured out why they

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It just seems crazy to me to cut the levity. Next, first,

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and the mocking. First of all, what does it cost

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>you belding to build a bathroom like that as opposed

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>to just all the urinals side? But I mean I

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>went to schools where there was a trough. We all

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 1>stepped up to the same trough. Now a school trough. Yeah,

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>that's prehistoric. But the individual cement stall, you close the

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>door behind you for one single ural, you think it's

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a trans thing. I think it is too. That was

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>my first thought. I'll bet it is.

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>You know. I was in a business the other day

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>where that was it. I walked in the bathroom and

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, where are the urinals? And I realized, oh,

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>those stalls booths.

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Yea, their booths are like a telephone booth for for

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>for your nation, which telephone booths are for your nation too,

0:16:59.080 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're.

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 2>As our elevators, if you're riding the bar.

0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Hey.

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so I'm I'm guessing that's a trans thing.

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>So just to stay ahead of it and avoid problems, Okay,

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll just have doors that close and all the urinal's

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>fine whatever, so they can't see.

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.159
<v Speaker 2>The girl's penises and the boys for j J. I

0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 2>get sorry, Katie, I interrupted you because of sexism.

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, well yeah, of course that was the reason.

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 3>But isn't the privacy nice kind of a little bit?

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I like it?

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah to the next guy in the urinal guy, I

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 2>am immune from his ugly advances.
