Speaker 1: And I show you a picture of Easton as like
Speaker 1: a tiny little toddler.
Speaker 4: We'll post this to you guys.

Speaker 2: That was tenth grade?
Speaker 1: Do you die or do you die?
Speaker 3: Drivers?
Speaker 2: He's so cute.
Speaker 1: So like, Easton was always just the cutest. And I
Speaker 1: remember like Sunday night football and my dad would move
Speaker 1: the furniture so Easton could duct tape the football field
Speaker 1: and he would watch the play so tiny, no you
Speaker 1: were talking, but with his curly hair, and he would
Speaker 1: watch the play and then he'd redo it, he'd reenact
Speaker 1: the play. He loved the green Bay Packer, the green
Speaker 1: Bay Packer. And then you go like this, can I
Speaker 1: see my back pad?
Speaker 3: Dad? Dad?
Speaker 1: Can you see my backpad? And then he would go
Speaker 1: outside and like slam himself into the grass because he
Speaker 1: liked to be scuffed up.
Speaker 4: Okay, this makes me want can.
Speaker 1: I tell you? The only reason that I sit there
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, a boy would be so much
Speaker 1: fun is I think about t T in the backyard
Speaker 1: and him coming in and he wanted all the he
Speaker 1: had to have the new cool face mask that like
Speaker 1: so and so running back from the tight Tennessee Titans had.
Speaker 2: I was good.
Speaker 5: I was I was not really good. And then everybody
Speaker 5: hit puberty and that's and I didn't know.
Speaker 1: What I remember.
Speaker 2: Dream was lost.
Speaker 1: But I remember during Little League, people across, like from
Speaker 1: other teams would be like that number eleven. He's fucking
Speaker 1: quick on his feet and tiny, so tiny but quick,
Speaker 1: little tiny, skinny legs.
Speaker 3: It was so cute.
Speaker 1: Teaching.
Speaker 2: I was nice.
Speaker 5: I was nice, played cornerback, and then you know, ninth grade,
Speaker 5: everybody stepped going and I didn't grow so cornerbacks.
Speaker 1: You know, look at you now on the given this dreams.
Speaker 5: I'm just glad I didn't, you know, peak then, right, right,
Speaker 5: A lot of a lot.
Speaker 1: Of peaks, buddy, A lot of people.
Speaker 2: Peaked, and I'm very blessed I didn't.
Speaker 5: I rather talk ship on myself and who I was
Speaker 5: than going I was fucking in the locker rooms and
Speaker 5: then being well, that's what's.
Speaker 1: So important for people with understand is like junior high
Speaker 1: in high school and like the popular kids, don't worry
Speaker 1: about it because they're gonna suck later three or four
Speaker 1: years of your life. And I've seen the people who
Speaker 1: were popular in my high school.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be a high school peaker, even
Speaker 4: if you were popular then and you're popular now, hopefully
Speaker 4: you're more popular now.
Speaker 3: You don't want to be a high school peaker.
Speaker 1: Sorry, guys, true, you certainly do not. You should just
Speaker 1: be kind throughout throughout school because you could be peaking,
Speaker 1: or you could be thriving then and now and all
Speaker 1: the things, but just you know, like be nice to
Speaker 1: the little pintobein nice on you Jessica, I want you
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, Actually, yours is probably really good. To
Speaker 1: let me go, oh go, because I don't want to
Speaker 1: let people down. There's really good too. Yours is really
Speaker 1: good too. But I think that my like grade school,
Speaker 1: where things kind of shifted was when that boy who
Speaker 1: I was sitting next to and I had farted, and
Speaker 1: then I blamed it on him, Matt. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to use his name, but we were sitting there during
Speaker 1: story time and you know how you you sit cross legged?
Speaker 3: You it's always during story time, hold.
Speaker 1: Your legs like this as a kid. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Yeah, And we had just had
Speaker 1: snack and milk and it slipped and then everyone looked
Speaker 1: at me and I went like this, I pointed to him,
Speaker 1: so everyone made fun of him, and after that he
Speaker 1: told everyone that I was a man.
Speaker 2: Good for him. Don't let this bitch fuck you up.
Speaker 2: He farted. Hell no, she got a dick.
Speaker 1: And I remember that fucker who was blonde named John.
Speaker 2: These guys a dick, but don't help the guy that
Speaker 2: you blamed. Yes, I said it.
Speaker 3: I said it.
Speaker 1: They called the russ In house and Candace was talking
Speaker 1: to John and I get on the phone and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: you do sound like a man. You're a man, And
Speaker 1: I was so embarrassed.
Speaker 2: Well, think of what you did to him in that classroom, I.
Speaker 1: Said, hearted.
Speaker 2: Gender.
Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: And I was already so insecure about my voice and
Speaker 1: how big my hands are. And then he made up
Speaker 1: that rumor and it was very, very upsetting.
Speaker 4: Job, Jeff, I'm sorry she blamed farting on you during
Speaker 4: reading time, but how.
Speaker 1: Yes, and then he threatened me. He threatened my life.
Speaker 3: I'm calling the police.
Speaker 1: We had to go into the principal's office. I wrote
Speaker 1: about it in my book.
Speaker 3: You did, I don't know?
Speaker 1: I certainly did.
Speaker 2: We did.
Speaker 1: We had beef from then on. It went into junior
Speaker 1: high school.
Speaker 3: Where's Jeff? Now peak?
Speaker 2: Jem peaked?
Speaker 1: Who knows?
Speaker 2: Third?

Speaker 3: Who knows? That is horrific. I'm so sorry Jeff did that.
Speaker 1: That's why you know what?
Speaker 5: Here's the thing, how crazy. I'm sorry Jeff did that
Speaker 5: to you. But what you did to Jeff.
Speaker 3: Farted? Deal, We all fart.

Speaker 2: Out in the streets for the team. Whoever smelt it telted.
Speaker 1: She says, take one for the take one for the team.
Speaker 2: Jeff, take one? Did you take one for the team?
Speaker 2: I was embarrassed.
Speaker 3: It was time to take one for the team. It
Speaker 3: was Jeff's time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jeff, Oh, Jeff, I feel for you.
Speaker 3: I bet Jeff still remembers that. By the way, I.
Speaker 2: Hope he's still going around saying she has a dick.
Speaker 1: I have the biggest dig out. Don't don't even fucking
Speaker 1: hustle the hustler.
Speaker 2: All right, we call her tripod trypod.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's my favorite thing to say to the boys
Speaker 1: on vander Pubm. I'm like, if you want to have
Speaker 1: a dick measuring contest, I will always win. So just
Speaker 1: fucking fall back, true, true, tweet A little dick is
Speaker 1: what James Kennedy calls them. All right, Jessica, I.
Speaker 3: Go okay, I'll make these quick.
Speaker 4: I have two defining moments in grade school, and number
Speaker 4: one I was in fifth grade. I'm from a small town.
Speaker 4: Fifth and sixth grade we're combined. There was only four
Speaker 4: girls in fifth grade. The cool girls were in sixth grade.
Speaker 4: We shared a classroom. I didn't get along with the
Speaker 4: girls in my grade, so I wanted to be friends
Speaker 4: with the cool girls. I wasn't cool. I was a
Speaker 4: little chubby little girl. So I was planning and plotting.
Speaker 4: The girls would always walk together. We're walking to pe class,
Speaker 4: which was across the street, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: they're talking and they're cool. Let's just see if I
Speaker 4: can like get up next to them and say something.
Speaker 4: So I walk up next to them and I hear
Speaker 4: them talking, and I say something funny based off what
Speaker 4: they said, and they all start laughing. And the one girl,
Speaker 4: her name's Kate, we became best friends, looked at me
Speaker 4: and she goes, she was the coolest, and she goes,
Speaker 4: you're funny. Do you want to hang out with us?
Speaker 4: And I was like, I didn't like I made it
Speaker 4: into the cool group. And I think from then on,
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, you're if you can be. Maybe
Speaker 4: you're not cool or pretty, but if you're funny, they'll
Speaker 4: hang out.
Speaker 3: Like they'll hang out with you.
Speaker 2: Yea yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So that was in fifth grade and then when I
Speaker 4: got a little older seventh grade, I have a very
Speaker 4: large forehead and I say that and people go, no,
Speaker 4: you don't.
Speaker 3: If I pulled my banks back you'd be like, oh
Speaker 3: you do so didn't have banks. Got made fun of
Speaker 3: it for a while. And I was in Spanish class
Speaker 3: and Mike s.
Speaker 1: I was just giving them.
Speaker 3: I will love you, Mike.
Speaker 4: I don't know now. I mean he was in my class.
Speaker 4: He said I was new. I was new to the school.
Speaker 4: It was like my third day and everyone was like, damn,
Speaker 4: that new girl has a big forehead.
Speaker 3: And he said.
Speaker 4: We were in Spanish class and the lights the electricity
Speaker 4: went out in school and he uh.
Speaker 3: The Spanish teacher was like, everyone, don't go anywhere. It's dark.
Speaker 3: The electricity's out.
Speaker 4: And he goes, why don't we put a light bulb
Speaker 4: on Jessica's forehead.
Speaker 3: It'll light up the whole school. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's so funny. And inside I was like you and
Speaker 3: everyone was laughing. They're like, that's so true.
Speaker 4: And I think it's just made me stronger and it
Speaker 4: embraced it. Oh and then I self deprecate my forehead
Speaker 4: now to this day and I really don't mind it.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, you know what though, like at
Speaker 1: some point in time we should go get the hairline surgery.
Speaker 3: I would love the hairlines my well Adam he got.
Speaker 2: I've never noticed your forehead. That's everything I've been. You've
Speaker 2: got a giant forehead.
Speaker 5: I'm say, with your hair back, I've seen your hair wet.
Speaker 5: I've never been like, that's pretty forehead.
Speaker 4: I've noticed it more in jiu jitsu videos because I
Speaker 4: get sweat and and then the hair gets pushed back
Speaker 4: and I go, oh, there it is. It didn't go away.
Speaker 4: It's still there. Yeah, but it just means I got
Speaker 4: a big brain.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, Jessica, You're very intelligent. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: And then I got caught from the basketball team in
Speaker 4: seventh grade, so that was true.
Speaker 1: You had a lot of traumatizing.
Speaker 4: And I and then I went in the bathroom and
Speaker 4: cried my eyes out. I was one of two that
Speaker 4: got cut. And all my friends made it and we
Speaker 4: ran up to the list.
Speaker 1: Probably your forehead.
Speaker 3: It's my fucking forehead.
Speaker 2: Like she's good, but that.
Speaker 5: Forehead, like, hey, this is going to be a distraction
Speaker 5: for the other team.
Speaker 1: She's only gonna make it if she wears the bang's back.
Speaker 3: People are gonna think it's the best.
Speaker 1: And then we have to shine the light on it
Speaker 1: and she'll go like this, She'll shine it in their eyes.
Speaker 2: It's like they're playing basketball in the sun.
Speaker 1: That is so funny. I love this podcast.
Speaker 2: I loved Jessica.
Speaker 1: We love your forehead. It's so gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Thank you God.
Speaker 1: You know that was a purge for me because even
Speaker 1: in my book, I didn't tell about the part that
Speaker 1: he started the rumor that I was a man.
Speaker 3: We're so sorry about that. We're gonna go.
Speaker 4: Let's get him, fine, find him.
Speaker 1: He's I'm sure doing cool shit. I'm doing cool shit
Speaker 1: like all is well. You know, like I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: said it was you that farted, Jeff. I should have
Speaker 1: taken accountability. I wouldn't have been depending on who you ask, Apparently,
Speaker 1: I still try to struggle.
Speaker 5: I would said you wouldn't have had all that beef
Speaker 5: through elementary, junior high if you.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, I don't accountability.
Speaker 1: There were moments that he and I would engage at school,
Speaker 1: and I would come home when no one was home
Speaker 1: and listen to Fighter by Christina Aguilera.
Speaker 3: Just to get back at farty Jeff, No, just.
Speaker 1: To feel empowered. I'm telling you, we were beefing. There
Speaker 1: were times that I used fifty cent quotes on him like,
Speaker 1: that's that's how I remember the timeline of beef because
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, when did that song by fifty cent
Speaker 1: come out at this point in time? Because I I
Speaker 1: am t him those lyrics? Okay, when did I sing
Speaker 1: at the top of my lungs in the foyer?
Speaker 2: Fighter?
Speaker 1: But okay, that yeah, that's when it came out, so
Speaker 1: that had to have been this time.
Speaker 3: It's fine, you know what. I hope he's still not
Speaker 3: a dick.
Speaker 4: And if he is still a dick, he's just probably
Speaker 4: out there not doing cool shit like you just farting.
Speaker 1: No, you know what, he's probably living a good life,
Speaker 1: married with kids.
Speaker 2: Lives in Utah.
Speaker 1: So yes, he was more granola. He was not a Mormon.
Speaker 2: He was more No.
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's move on, go for it. What did our
Speaker 1: friends say?
Speaker 4: We got a lot of good things because we got
Speaker 4: like big things and small things that happened to you
Speaker 4: guys in grade school that stuck with you for the
Speaker 4: rest of your lives.
Speaker 3: So this one, oh my god relatable.
Speaker 4: Being the only one in class not invited to a
Speaker 4: birthday party hits the same as an adult being left out.
Speaker 4: I hated when kids weren't invited as a kid, I
Speaker 4: it gave me anxiety and I hate it now.
Speaker 3: I don't think it happens as much now, do you
Speaker 3: guys remember.
Speaker 1: That not being invited to birthday parties.
Speaker 3: Or seeing the kids that weren't invited.
Speaker 1: Actually, now that you bring it up, I remember getting
Speaker 1: going to a birthday party with Candace and our moms
Speaker 1: were dropping us off, and when we arrived, our mom's left.
Speaker 1: Candace went in. They shut the door in my face,
Speaker 1: said Lawrence not invited. I was so upset. My mom
Speaker 1: and Kristin came back, and Kristin made Candace leave the
Speaker 1: birthday party as well. She was like, if Lauren's not invited,
Speaker 1: then you're not going either. That I like, horrific thought
Speaker 1: I was invited.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Heartbreahm.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it's terrible that didn't stick with you if
Speaker 4: you forgot about.
Speaker 1: It, I'm sure, like I just I live a really
Speaker 1: great fucking life. Yeah, but I didn'tet invited to your
Speaker 1: lay mass birthday party. And I've seen your life, like, well,
Speaker 1: Calm's a real bitch, Like I'm fucking living the dream.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, no, Maya.
Speaker 4: I had a family member I won't say there's five
Speaker 4: of us kids that wouldn't get invited, and I would
Speaker 4: and we were close, and it infuriated me every time.
Speaker 3: Now at school, as you, I would stay back or.
Speaker 4: To my mom would be like, the fuck, no, just
Speaker 4: is not going if he's not invited.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a lot of schools out
Speaker 1: there like this, but there are schools in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: that if you invite one kid from the class, you
Speaker 1: have to invite them all. So all or none.
Speaker 5: It we did that if you brought a snack for
Speaker 5: the class when I was in elementary, you got to
Speaker 5: bring a snack for everyone, not just one person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really affects people.
Speaker 1: I don't really like. Now I have a really small
Speaker 1: group of friends. So I'm invited to the places I
Speaker 1: want to be invited to and not invited to the
Speaker 1: places I don't want to be at.
Speaker 4: Okay, so a lot of these so I'll read just
Speaker 4: this one. But a lot of got called fat a
Speaker 4: lot as a child, and now I'm not.
Speaker 1: So that is that's a win, that is you know what.
Speaker 4: Yes, I had my chubby years where I would get
Speaker 4: remember my crushed Jeff, I wore a belly shirt because
Speaker 4: I thought it was cute.
Speaker 3: My crushed Jeff was like, Jeff, assholes.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Jeff, he said, I wore a belly
Speaker 4: shirt and I like walked out. I think I was
Speaker 4: like ten, and I was like, he's gonna love this,
Speaker 4: and he was like, ew.
Speaker 3: I didn't know you were fat what.
Speaker 2: It did?
Speaker 3: And I was like, that was rude, Jeff, and I
Speaker 3: went in and changed.
Speaker 1: Like, now, if you hear that someone called someone fat,
Speaker 1: you're like, Wow, you're ignorant, you're uneducated, you're disgusting. Whereas
Speaker 1: it seemed to be like totally for like it would
Speaker 1: come out of people's mouths and although it didn't hit
Speaker 1: like think about even like publications posting Tyra Banks on
Speaker 1: the cover talking about her waking and.
Speaker 4: Like Jessica Simpson, she's lost control of herself. And now
Speaker 4: you look back at those pictures, you're like, what were
Speaker 4: they talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's called ass bitch, Yeah, it's called a woman.
Speaker 4: And I do have to say I have friends who
Speaker 4: are you know, a close friend who's still considered over
Speaker 4: weight and has always been her entire life, in the
Speaker 4: amount it affected her entire life, she's like, thank god
Speaker 4: now she's way more like accepting and positive. But it's
Speaker 4: like traumatic for years. It is guys being like, I'm
Speaker 4: not kidding her, she's fat.
Speaker 1: It's like as if there's some prize. I know you're
Speaker 1: receding and you're a sophomore. Is like if we're gonna
Speaker 1: throw stones step in here like your brad pit. By
Speaker 1: the way, I do not approve proof of either bad. No,
Speaker 1: I don't. Just maybe I should use someone else.
Speaker 4: And a lot of these, so a lot of really
Speaker 4: sad like deaths and car accidents.
Speaker 3: I had like a couple friends dying car accidents. So
Speaker 3: I'll just read this one.
Speaker 4: My best friend was killed by a drunk driver in
Speaker 4: first grade. Don't drink and drive. Stuck with me ever
Speaker 4: since then?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how could it not. That's like life
Speaker 1: shifting and oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, drunk driving.
Speaker 4: I had a friend killed by drunk driving in high school.
Speaker 4: It's like I feel like I feel like many people
Speaker 4: I know had a friend who died from a car accident.
Speaker 4: Did you, guys, Yes, Yeah, it's really really devastating. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so devastating. Sorry for your loss because that is traumatizing people.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about like everybody in high school that
Speaker 5: had got into a crash the UI.
Speaker 1: Were you yeah, I yes, yeah.
Speaker 4: You know, bullying. I'm seeing a lot of bullying is
Speaker 4: a big one, you know. You think about it now
Speaker 4: and it's like we tackle, not tackled. There's still a
Speaker 4: ton of bullying, especially online, even possibly even more so
Speaker 4: nowadays because you can do it behind a computer, you
Speaker 4: weak pussies. But back then, bullying in person, it would
Speaker 4: get physical.
Speaker 3: There were physical fights.
Speaker 1: I don't remember many things getting physical in school.
Speaker 2: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Kyle?
Speaker 5: There was a fight every Thursday, Friday, Saturday at that place,
Speaker 5: whether it be Skyline East.
Speaker 1: But they would say we're meeting up here to fight.
Speaker 1: It was like dudes duking it out. I'm talking like
Speaker 1: at school.
Speaker 2: Someone calls there were always fights in the glass.
Speaker 1: I was never at school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you had two periods. You went first, second
Speaker 2: in her home? Yes, after school?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because people were rude, so I left. I left.
Speaker 4: Yeah you've been you've out, you've been spoken out about
Speaker 4: your bullying.
Speaker 1: But here, okay, and I'm just throwing this out there, okay,
Speaker 1: because my mom always talks about we can only control ourselves, right,
Speaker 1: bullying is going to happen. I do not condone it.
Speaker 1: I will cut a bitch who bullies my child. I've
Speaker 1: been bullied, I've turned into the bully. I think it
Speaker 1: would be a good idea for schools to start teaching
Speaker 1: how to deal with the bully rather than just fixating
Speaker 1: on don't bully, because jealousy comes into play, and jealousy
Speaker 1: is very scary and you cannot control other people. So
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if school because maybe they're doing this, Maybe
Speaker 1: they are teaching, you know, they need to start teaching
Speaker 1: self esteem. If you're feeling like you are insecure about
Speaker 1: your body, what are things you can do to start
Speaker 1: accepting your body at such a vulnerable age? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: that is not easy. Yeah, you know, I feel people
Speaker 1: are like, where'd you get your confidence? A lot? And
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I haven't always been this way. I'm
Speaker 1: thirty three years old and I've had people really be
Speaker 1: unkind to me and it's like run and crawl in
Speaker 1: a hole or don't right, So, how do we figure
Speaker 1: out how to teach these these kids how to be
Speaker 1: confident young people that when someone says something it's like
Speaker 1: it rolls off my back, I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 4: And also recognizing which I just learned this past year
Speaker 4: and started doing these assholes, these bullies, these mean people
Speaker 4: are the most are the ones who are either bullied
Speaker 4: at home unfortunately by their own family and parents, or
Speaker 4: the most insecure, sad, miserable. And it's like when you
Speaker 4: get bullied or people are mean to me, I'm like
Speaker 4: my thought nowadays' is like, oh, I feel so sorry
Speaker 4: for you, Like, yeah, you are. This is really sad.
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot that goes into it because
Speaker 1: not everyone has the same type of home life where
Speaker 1: they go home and they feel safe and their mom
Speaker 1: and dad, you know, build them up and send them
Speaker 1: back out into the big bad world like Easton and
Speaker 1: I had. And I just I throw these things around
Speaker 1: a lot in my mind and just hope that parents
Speaker 1: when they choose to have kids, because it is a luxury.
Speaker 1: I talk about this all the time. Just because you
Speaker 1: pop out a baby does not make you a mother.
Speaker 1: It does not make you a father. That is a
Speaker 1: role that you take on and you earn, and that
Speaker 1: is the highest highest honor to be a parent. So
Speaker 1: I just hope that parents take on that role and say, like,
Speaker 1: home is where my child feels safe. I uplift them,
Speaker 1: I don't critique them. We have productive conversations that when
Speaker 1: we go out into the world and the world tries
Speaker 1: to break them down, they're prepared. And when it gets
Speaker 1: to be too much, when they come back home, we
Speaker 1: do the rebuilding again. I don't know, I'll just down
Speaker 1: on the streets doing the best we can.
Speaker 3: But it is I mean, it's it's a good point because,
Speaker 3: like I said, there's not there's bullying online. There's bullying everywhere.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately still so.
Speaker 1: It's everywhere, even on this podcast. I'm not blind to
Speaker 1: the fact that we sit there and we're like, give
Speaker 1: music sucks, go away, Like, yes, it is hard out here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just I like the idea of teaching people
Speaker 4: to be not affected. The second I felt unaffected by
Speaker 4: a rudeness, I'm like, ah, life is good.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I almost feel bad for people who like get through.
Speaker 1: I have a wall thing up that if unless you
Speaker 1: have a blue check mark, you don't get in. But
Speaker 1: there are people who get in and they'll write me
Speaker 1: like really intense meanings. Yeah, and I'm like, it makes
Speaker 1: me feel bad that you took so much time, because
Speaker 1: I could not be any less affected by this. Right,
Speaker 1: like a lot of people being like I used to
Speaker 1: be your biggest fan. I hate you this season. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if only I cared, could.
Speaker 3: You imagine taking even five.
Speaker 2: Minutes paragraphs and she's reading a lot.
Speaker 3: To write someone.
Speaker 1: I know you, guys, I love you so much. But
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about writing me some skating like, don't
Speaker 1: waste your time. Please do something more productive because I
Speaker 1: truly don't care. Truly like if you used to love
Speaker 1: me and you don't this season, I don't.
Speaker 2: Care, don't care, Go volunteer.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I don't live my life based on what you think.
Speaker 3: We don't know you.
Speaker 1: I don't know you. I love you. I'm sending you
Speaker 1: all the love, good luck, blah blah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding anyway.
Speaker 4: Wow that was fun again.
Speaker 3: Oh but thank you guys for writing in. There was
Speaker 3: a lot of great ones.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love you guys. Thank you for listening to
Speaker 1: another episode of the Give Them Lala Bonus episode.
