1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: Kids today, it's one more thing. I'm strong and getty. 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 2: One more. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: Got something serious but interesting that at least I didn't 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: know coming up on a second. But first this my 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: son who's fourteen and graduating from eighth grade this week graduating. 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: So he actually asked, why do they have eighth grade graduation? Well, 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't know the real answer, but where I grew up, 8 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: I thought it was because a lot of people stopped 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: going to school at eighth grade. There was a good 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: chunk of the class that or a particular religion, the Mennonites, 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: they stopped at eighth grade. So I thought that's why 12 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: we had eighth grade graduation because they were done. But 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: then found out they have eighth grade graduations other places, 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: So why does eighth grade graduation exist? 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: You know? I actually heard a really interesting argument about 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 3: this once we're The One point of view was, hey, 17 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: they've finished a level of school. Let's say let's show them, Hey, 18 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: education is important, we're proud of you, a good job. 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: Let's reinforce wanting to stay in school and pass everything, 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: which I think is a perfectly reasonable point of view. 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 3: The opposition was a woman who was saying, they haven't 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: accomplished anything. They're getting the very basics of education their kids. 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: They've got several more years of mandatory schooling. They haven't 24 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 3: accomplished anything. They barely gotten started. Quit with the ceremonies. 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 3: Too many ceremonies. 26 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I lean more towards that point of view. 27 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: Anything that would less than the number of ceremonies I 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 3: have to go to. I'm in favor of. 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 4: Yes, my mom has a picture of my Is it 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 4: my kindergarten graduation or my preschool graduation? I don't remember it. 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 4: I'm wearing a robe. I know she had to buy 32 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: a robe. Yeah, I'm warning a little green graduation cap 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: and robe. And they took pictures that she obviously paid 34 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 4: for because we have it. 35 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking you've got money sucked out of that. 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we we had to do kindergarten graduation and 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: there was like a certificate and stuff. But I don't 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: think there was no robe involved. 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: But you know, I hate to blame the gals for this, 40 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: but it reminds me of little seven year old kids 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: in full. 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: Uniform playing Little League and they. 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: Have opening ceremonies and closing ceremonies every season, and the 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: parade of the teams and lots of pictures in the 45 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: rest of it. Back in the day, you just went 46 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 3: and played ball. There's no opening ceremony. What the hell 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 3: do you have an opening ceremony. First game of the 48 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: year is on Saturday, Go play it. That was the 49 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: opening ceremony. 50 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: Play ball. 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: So my eighth grader has the graduations actually on Thursday, 52 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: and you're supposed to wear a tie, So we have 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: to go out and get a tie at some point 54 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: this week.

Uh, 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: he can't wear my shoes because he has bigger feet 57 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: than me.

And looking 73 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: back on being fourteen, but man, oh man, oh man, 74 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: there's so many things that I chickened out of or 75 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: kind of wish I had done or whatever.

Somebody asked me to 99 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: dance for the last slow dance of the night, and 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: I've never been more nervous in my life. I can 101 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: I still feel the sweat running down my armpits as 102 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: we were slow dancing. I was so nervous and scared. 103 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: But why wouldn't you? I mean, and I kind of 104 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: wanted to dance, but I was scared at one of 105 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: being rejected and two of dancing in front of other people. 106 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: It's just God, when you get older, it just seems like, 107 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: why would you freaking care? But that's just the perspective 108 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: of age. You can't you know, you can't inject that 109 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: into someone. 110 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and dances are so small in our lives now. 111 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 4: It's such a big thing to them, right. 112 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, of course it is. And I'm you know, 113 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: so on one hand, I don't know about his friends, 114 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: but it's probably true for his friends too. On one hand, 115 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: he's I hope they have chairs there. I might bring 116 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: my own camping chair just so I make sure. But 117 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: he has. 118 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 119 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: We got a haircut two weeks ago and he wasn't 120 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: quite happy with that, so we went and got another haircut, 121 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's been picking out his clothes. 122 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: So I mean, you wouldn't get two haircuts and pick 123 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: out your clothes and all this sort of stuff if 124 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: you didn't care at all. So you care, but you 125 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: just don't want to look like you care, because I'm 126 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: sure none of your friends are looking like they care. 127 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: As the boys again, as the girls you get you 128 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: can be as thrilled as you want to be. Lots 129 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: of exclamation points if. 130 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: You're Yeah, I played the records at the dances I 131 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 3: came in middle school. I volunteered for that. I think 132 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: it's one of the reasons I became a musician. If 133 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: I'm playing, you can't ask me to dance. 134 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm busy. All the high school dances, I was the DJ, 135 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: which kind of got me out of it. I got 136 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: to be there, but I had a job. Yeah, but 137 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: uh yeah, so I don't know. I'm gonna try to 138 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: craft some sort of go for it type speech, see 139 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: how it lands. But I can just think of several 140 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: examples of like, why why didn't you? Why didn't you 141 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: do this? Why didn't you do that? There's no downside. 142 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: The worst case scenario is nothing. Well, actually a worst 143 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: case scenario is not doing anything then wishing the rest 144 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: of your life you would have tried.

And I had 172 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: never heard this story, or I had and I forgot 173 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: it because I can hide my own Easter eggs anyway. 174 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: This Air Force F sixteen pilot retired over the weekend 175 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: after forty years in the Air Force. He his job 176 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: was to take out Flight ninety three, the last plane 177 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: that was still in the air on nine to eleven. 178 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: And I had never heard this story in completion. I 179 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: knew that we had scrambled fighter jets and that that 180 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: was a possibility. I didn't know this. He's sixty one 181 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: years old now. He was in his late thirties at 182 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: the time, and him and this other female pilot, Heather Penny, 183 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: who was twenty six at the time, were ordered to 184 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: go up. This is after you know, two planes that 185 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: at the World Trade Center. One it hit the Pentagon 186 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: and there was another plane in the air and we 187 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: figured it out. And this had all occurred in like seconds, 188 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: and this was all happening really really fast, and they 189 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: were scrambled and told to go up and what was 190 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: the actual phrase, stop it? Their orders were to locate 191 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: flight ninety three and stop it. That's all they were told. 192 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: So him and this other woman went up, and he 193 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: was the guy in charge, and he went up because 194 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: he didn't want to ask anybody else to do this, 195 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: because he had an idea of how awful this would be. 196 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: Oh wow. 197 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: They decided him and this woman that if required, they 198 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: would hit the hijack plane with their jets, making it 199 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: a suicide mission. They were what, Yeah, he said that 200 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: we couldn't figure out how to it first because our 201 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: fighter jets were not armed with missiles. Oh, we didn't 202 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: have any weapons. We were just we just went up 203 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: and were told to stop that plane. 204 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: Oh my lord. 205 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: I so you hadn't heard this either, I know.
