But before meeting Charlie, you know, I 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.800 would have said, oh, there's some people that are just 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.159 talented that you can just do it. But you know, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.960 as soon as Charlie could touch the piano. You know, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.080 my dad is a pianist and we've just had the 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.640 piano that I grew up with in our house for 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.159 years and years now, huh. And as soon as she 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.080 could touch the piano, she would have just sort of 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.520 hit the keys and then you know, be mad catching 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.039 her voice. I'm talking for like eighteen months and for 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.599 a long time, we just see her do this regularly 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.719 every day, and then we realized, wait a minute, there's 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.240 a pattern to this. And she would, you know, kind 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.320 of do it and match your voice, and do it 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.640 and match your voice. And then then one day around four, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.120 she came to me and she there was this song 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.320 on a cartoon she was watching, and she was like, 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:26.800 you know, Daddy, can you show me how to play 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.560 this song? I was like no, and she was like, yeah, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.720 like I'll ask Grandpa, And so I asked my dad 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.839 and my dad came back and laugh. Then he's like, look, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.040 he goes, whoever composed this song for the cartoon? They 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.680 were really playing with it. It doesn't repeat, it's you 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.160 know what I mean, Like, there's no easy just chord progression. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.600 I could show her, And so I came back, I'm like, 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.080 why do you choose an easier song? She was really mad, frustrated, 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.720 and then she came back like four or five days later, 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.600 and she looked at me, real serious. She goes, Daddy, 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.240 I know how to play it.

Like when I did Full House, 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.560 It's like, oh, yeah, you're on Full House whatever, you know, 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.880 And these are all kids I knew my whole life. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.720 And then in ninth grade, I moved to your Belinda 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.040 and I went to a new high school. And that 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.760 was culture shock, you know what I mean. I was like, like, look, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.320 I was kind of a dorky, chubby kid, you know, 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.840 didn't know anybody, you know, went from like high school 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.640 where the cholos were the coolest kids you could imagine, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.360 to a high school where, like, you know, the the 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.440 white kids wearing the Metallica te shirt were the coolest 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.800 kids you could imagine. And I was stuck somewhere in 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.440 the middle. And you know, it wasn't bad, but I 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.880 didn't really know anybody, you know, I was. I went 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.680 from being having tons of friends and to just sort 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.600 of being like nervous, you know, like we all are 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:33.200 at that age. Yeah, yeah, anyhow, and then I can't remember. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.240 I think it was the second episode I was on. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.080 I think if I remember, right, you know, I did 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.280 that episode, and that episode aired, and I didn't think 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.960 much of it because you know, this has happened many 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.120 times in my childhood life. And then I went into 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.120 first period and the girl who sat in front of me, 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.960 who like I was just nervous, she was really pretty 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.480 and cooler than me and all of that. As soon 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.840 as I sat down, she turned around and looked at 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.680 me and she went, your Jake bitterman, aren't you? And 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.600 I looked at her. I was like yeah. And then 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.040 I looked and like the whole class was looking at me, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.680 and and and primarily they hadn't even noticed that I existed, 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.040 you know what I mean. It wasn't like I said, 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.840 it wasn't bad, but I was just a kid that 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.200 sort of sat in the back of the class, the 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.480 new kid whatever. And all of a sudden, that's all 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.720 everybody wanted to talk about, which was it was great. 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.080 It was like, all of a sudden, everybody was like, 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:26.880 I can't believe it. You're in a full house. I'm like, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.080 oh my, you know, wow, wow wow. Then I went 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.840 to second period and the same thing happened, and then, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.640 you know, and then and then and then the whole day, 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.920 the same thing happened, and then somewhere in that world 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:44.600 people started calling me Bitterman and and oh no, no no, 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.320 And I mean it really turned out wonderful. You know. 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.880 It sort of existed, you know, halfway, goofing off, halfway 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.760 making fun of, halfway, sort of being accepted into the 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.080 you know world that became the high school world, and 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.480 the name Bitterman stuck.
