Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dear block, I know how to say this with outside
and mean, because I'm not trying to be mean. But
there was a high school reunion over the weekend that
I know how to attend. Well, I don't know what
was the last one. I don't know what that one meant.
You haven't attended one though, Well, anyway, there was one
over the weekend. I graduated with like forty seven people
or something from a school in Arizona. I didn't particularly

(00:21):
love the school. I didn't really love the experience. Not
the wrong with the people that I went to school with.
I liked a lot of them. In fact, a lot
of them I went to school with from kindergarten all
the way through twelfth grade. But I couldn't make it.
I couldn't make it. I had stuff to do this weekend.
I couldn't make it to the reunion. But I saw
a picture, oh boy, of the attendees, and there weren't many.
They were like, I don't know, I think maybe fifteen
people attended at the forty something.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's good. Well it's not bad. Yeah, there's like twelve
a year.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know. There was one girl in the picture who
I had a crush on. My whole life and she
could still get it. I think she's married.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Was your friend there, the one that came here? Yeah,
well she organized. Okay, oh man, you didn't go to
her thing? No, I'm sure I'll hear about that.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
There there were a couple of guys in the picture
that I'm just like, boy, you really are living this
up because you that was the probably the coolest you've
ever been.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
I still got the football, the letterman checket on football
team we didn't have if we don't have football team, sorry,
varsity basketball jersey on.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I don't know. I just think I don't want this
to sound the wrong way.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Guys, And if you listen to the show, maybe hopefully
you you know, think I'm okay. But I think I
would have stacked up all right. I probably should have
gone because I think that that would have been just
what I needed, because because I left that place, it
was a very it was a small private school and
a lot of smart kids there, and I wasn't as
smart as the rest of them, and so I don't know,

(01:41):
I don't think people really knew what was going to
happen to me because I was kind of in the middle,
you know, I wasn't popular, it wasn't unpopular. I wasn't dumb,
I wasn't certainly wasn't the smartest. I kind of just floated.
But I left that place feeling kind of stupid because
people went to Harvard and Stamford and Yale, and I
went to you know wherever I went, and and I
always wanted to do this, and I don't think anybody

(02:02):
really respected it. I don't think anyone really thought it
was like a real job or like that I would
really do it, and I did it, and then I
recently lost a bunch of weight, you know, so like I.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Should have gone, Yeah, I really should have. I'm looking
at this picture, going I stack up just fine here.
I should have gone, but I didn't go. And it's okay.
I feel okay about it.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, because you talk about them high school, like you
just said, like you were in the middle of the
pack whatever, but now you're like super successful and you
should be most in that to these people that proved
you like that wanted to.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Prove you wrong. You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah,
I probably should have.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I mean, for selfish reasons, I think I would have
done okay, but I don't they're just going to ask
me for money. I don't want to give it to him.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's why you don't want to go well, And I
just I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I looked at the picture and like, I don't know
how many high school reunions any of you. Have you
guys ever been to a high school union? Are you
guys even old? You're old enough to.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Have gone to one? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
And I just I looked at the picture and I'm like,
there's the one guy. He's he's doing the same gimmick
he was doing. He's goofy, and like, yeah, because he
was cool. He was a cool, smart kid, and I
think that may have been the coolest smartest he ever was.
And like in the picture he's like the same goofy
look on his face. I'm like, oh, we're doing that still, okay?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
And I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
And then some of the people that were like really
cool don't look as cool. And I'm not trying to
be mean. I'm just saying you gotta be careful. If
you're listening now and you're in high school or you're
in grade school, just be careful. Be careful what you
say to other people, Be nice to other people. If
you're at the top of your game right now. I
hope you always stay there. But there's a chance that
somebody who's not at the top of their game right

(03:30):
will rise. Don't tell them they can't.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Don't. Just be nice to people, yeah, and do your best.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
That's what I feel like, because anyone who's been to
a high school union, I'm sure in their mind it
doesn't always equate. Whatever's happening for you then doesn't mean
twenty years from now will be the same.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Vice versa.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
If right now you're not thriving, in twenty years you
might be thriving, and I hope you are. And if
that's the case, you're gonna remember the people that were
like eh, so I'm not being mean. These are all
very nice people. I hope they had a great time.
I was unable to attend. Did you comment on the post?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Nope? But I missed you guys. Well I didn't, so
the photo maybe.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I liked. I liked my odds there, And I'm now
about to go look and see if that wonder who
I had a big crush on still married, because she's
still she looks exactly the same, and

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know what their relationship said, it says come
on down.
