Thanks for all 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.319 the laughs. Well, I wonder how old what says? In 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.040 another school somebody said, well, somebody's throwing stuff out you. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.760 How do you say no? We'll tell us they stop 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.400 throwing things at you first using the wrong word. I 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:53.559 hope you're not an English teacher. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.280 That's a tough thing because once you're known as a 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.040 person that will help, that opens a floodgate. 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.760 Right, you gotta stand up for yourself. You can't like 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.319 go to the principal or the higher ups and go 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:11.520 these kids. It's like you're you're an adult. Like I 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.839 always say, like whenever you see like a cop arrest 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.760 a six year old, every like six months, there's one 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.559 of those incidents, like are you not smarter than a 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:20.280 six year old? 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.400 So I think if you're a teacher, if you if 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:23.000 you can't. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.280 Outwit a fourteen year old who's horned up, that's got 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.600 zits all over, that's just going through the world whatever, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.400 you can't figure that out, it's like, maybe that's not 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:32.880 your professionals have to do it. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.000 I think the first part of it was though, that 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.040 people people keep asking her to do stuff and she 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:37.640 doesn't want to say no. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.360 She's getting taken advantage of well, teachers do get taken 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.719 a hundred. It's overworked and underpaid for sure. Sure. So 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.840 I think what you need to do is set boundaries. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.320 And that's very important when somebody is. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.880 If you get the one person I was like, oh, 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.760 I'm gotta leave early on Friday, do you mind just 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.319 covering you know, doing this or things like that, Like 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.079 you gotta be able, you gotta say no. And I 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.160 always find the first time you say no, it's easier 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.160 to keep going because the first time you're known to 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.760 somebody that was like oh, they're not just a push over. 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.760 You respect somebody that that pushes back a bit. Yeah. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.400 I think the person that you just like, oh, he'll 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:09.599 do it. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.559 There's a difference between being helpful and being taken advantage of. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:14.839 Right, you can be a helpful person and still want 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.679 to help and help friends out and help colleagues out, 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.200 that's great. But if you're somebody that's it's to your 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.040 detriment that you have to write into a podcast where 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.480 two comedians and complain about it, like you should start 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.160 thinking about like you just start thinking about addressing this, 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:28.320 KD KD. 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.760 I yeah, we'll start with your name. Start with a name. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.720 K I mean, my god, why is so difficult? 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.760 That's why you're just being difficult? And this is this 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.440 is your punishment exactly now. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.679 I think that's that's it starts saying no to the 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.959 you know, the little things, and be known as a 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:44.120 person that doesn't get pushed over. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.360 Although if I was a teacher, I'd be like, I'll 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.959 do the least amount possible for what you're paying me. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.440 I will do the least I'll care for the kids, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.080 but the least amount of work possible. And that's why 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.720 you're not a teacher. I would oh god, oh my goodness, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:02.199 I wouldn't have trust you with my children. By the way, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.079 nobody wants to work these days. Yeah, I was in 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.720 the airport. Did I tell you this? Was it? Did 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.360 I tell you this? We're done? Okay, next question, no 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.559 one does. You're right though, you're good at setting boundaries. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.319 I'm here, you are, I'm a great I'm a I'm 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:17.120 a shock fence. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.400 I won't do that. I'm a shock fence. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.080 You shake your head to you. I won't do that 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.000 because U s us crazy?

All right, you never noticed that no staten island. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.080 They just they wrote backwards. Yeah, it was in the hands. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:31.640 There's just pomp. People signed things that ud we got it. Okay, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:32.840 this is coming us from Cassie. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.160 Hi, cool moms, what is your best advice for navigating 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.040 uncomfortable family gatherings for the holidays? 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.320 Which love to you both holidays coming up? So you 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.240 can be around people you don't necessarily want to be around. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.400 Invite Katie over because she is a push over and 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.280 every time somebody says, just throw things could be a 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:50.200 family activity. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:51.480 I will say this. 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.960 I will say that politics have snuck their way in 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.200 as of late, hard into family dynamics. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.480 Yes, so I would probably set a rule just to 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:01.320 be like, look, we're. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.920 Not here to talk about that kind of things, or 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.440 don't engage in those conversations. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.160 Well, here's my advice. As soon as you said, as 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.560 soon as dinner served, talk politics, and then you just 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.560 save money on all the giftshoot off by Christmas. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.560 You can do that too. That's another way to do it. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.280 That's another way to do it. Just lean into it. 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.680 Yeah, I think I think that's like a big part 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:23.200 of contention. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:23.480 Now. 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.400 The world is shit right now, so everybody's got an 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.600 opinion on how to fix it or what the problem is. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.640 So that's that's you enjoyed talking You don't really I 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:31.280 don't do it at all. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.040 It's not my place. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.920 I don't educated from the arena. I don't care enough 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.720 about it. I just worry about you know, it's not 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.440 why people come to me as well, Like I you know, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.160 if people are like you need to tell you know, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:42.640 you need to I'm like, I don't need to do that. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:44.120 I need to make you laugh. That's what I'm here 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.600 to do in the world. Like, I'm not the guy 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.240
