Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are going to die right into an assignment that
we had. We decided we're going to write some summer
essays to just wrap up this season of life aka
Summer twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
So we did hire, not.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We hired, We hired the same mister Laughlin.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You are not getting paid for this, but we did
hire you to graide our summer essays today, and we
did have him on yesterday to give us some criteria. So,
mister Laughlin, can you go over the criteria real quick
before we each present our summer essay?
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I ken yeap. Unpaid work is my line of work.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yeah, you know, it's very normal for you.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah, So I was looking for the Summer Essays, some content,
like what did you write about some organization? Is it
easy to follow? What's your writing craft?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Like?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's going to be interesting to do over the phone,
but we can give it a shot. And your writer's voice,
which I guess the way we're doing this will combine
with your voice.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm listening to it, so okay, so excited.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
All right, So what we'll have you do, mister Laughlin
is just take some notes and decide what we each
get as we do it. But we're all going to
read our essays and then afterwards we'll have you tell
us how we did in grade us.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Okay, do you have a break.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah, I actually just just sketched out one on proceeds.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I love it all right, I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, I'm gonna I'll go first and then we'll have
on then Bailey. Okay, so great, mister Laughlin, it's so
lovely to see you today.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Here is my summer essay. Please kiss out.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
As the summer twenty twenty five comes to an end,
I have to say that it's been one of the best.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I've experienced in a while.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Why, you might ask, simple, I had my first hot
girl summer in five plus years, and I took advantage
of every single second. I attended concerts, completed house DIY
projects and still have some in the works. I spent
nights out in the North Loop, celebrated bacherette parties, went
to bet as the sun was coming up, and cherished
every moment spent with friends, family, and of course all
(02:00):
the amazing dogs I watch. I wouldn't be able to
speak about my summer without an honorable mention of my
camper Van b B and I gallivanted around to LuSE
the north shore and the up We woke up to
the sunrise over Lake Superior, attended beach raves on the
shores of d Duluth, got stuck and unstuck in sketchy
wild camping spots in the middle of nowhere, and overall
(02:21):
created new memories both good and bad. While all of
that was amazing, the highlight of my summer, hands down,
goes to my trip to Iceland. I spent ten days
traveling around the entire country with my sister Katie. This
isn't a moment of breaking about going to Iceland, though,
rather a time to say how happy I was to
be able to do that with my sister. Katie had
a stroke two years ago and it was one of
(02:41):
the scariest things our family has ever been through. It
took some time, but she made a full recovery, which
was something we weren't sure of as they airlifted her.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
To different hospitals.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Fast forward two years and she traveled by herself to
meet me in Iceland and spend ten spectacular days adventuring
through one of the most beautiful countries I've ever seen.
I'm sad to see Summer twenty twenty five slowly disappear
into the rear view of mirror, but it will be
the one that I treasure for years to come.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Thank you. That's my essay.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Jennie out here with a pathos.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Okay, so all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Wow. Like I said, we'll have you grade us after
we've all done it, So vant you are up next mine.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I might be a little bit on the shorter side.
We didn't discuss length, but there with me, ready.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Mister Laughlin, I am ready.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, we go. They say Minnesota summers don't last long,
but when they're here, it's like the universe packs a
whole year of dope experiences into a couple of months
and challenges you to keep up. My summer kicked off
with us foster failing sweet Avia Girl, our thirty five
pound coonhound puppy who loves cuddles and kisses. My family
came to visit from New Jersey, which is always so
refreshing when I get to see them, and right after
(03:49):
they left, my girlfriend Alyssa and I took on the
hiking trails of Taylor's Falls, Wisconsin, putting our phones away
for a few hours and getting mud on our clothes
while rock climbing reminded us to get out more often
and just breathe nature, which is something we don't do
as often as we should. My favorite part of the summer,
hands down, was our first time trip to Austin, Texas.
We went for radio conference, but it doubled as a
birthday trip for my twenty fourth As humid as Texas was,
(04:12):
I didn't notice it when sitting in the back of
a petticab and the nighttime wind was hitting my face.
We went to small bars, big clubs, a hookah lounge,
and a mini donut truck. Summer twenty twenty five couldn't
have been any better. It just reminded me to always
go fine in adventure, even when you don't think this.
Want to be found all right, nice, thank you, thank you,
thank you? All right, like to thank the academy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Okaypnas, Bailey jay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
All right.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I can describe the summer of twenty twenty five in
one simple sentence. I spent it be boop bopping around
in the sun. Bee boop boppin' b bees were a
plenty in my homble garden this year. This was my
third year planting seeds in the ugly dirt patch next
to my apartment building. I was determined to prove I
had a green thumb, three bags of soil, a tub
(04:57):
of fertilizer, and consistently haulling that goal.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Hose out and bam.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I have buckets of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and basil, and
some wild flowers for the fat little bumblebees.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
To nap in boot.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
In June, I booped on over to Ohio for our
annual family trip to visit my grandma, who is ninety
four and slick as a whistle. It's a twelve hour
drive to Castellia, Ohio, and with a two point five
old year old niece, it took fourteen hours worth it,
though for the time spent visiting with family, pints of
Toffs ice cream, surveying the land in the golf cart,
(05:30):
and a visit to the Merry Go Round Museum in
Vacation Land. Family truly is what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Boppin' man.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I was boppin' from one social event to the next
this summer. I graced the audience for eighteen theatrical productions
and trapes around the West Bank. For forty eight fringe shows.
I hit up singles events, book clubs, burlesque shows, grad parties,
farmers' markets, picnics, and volunteer gardening sessions.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Believe it or not, I never got tired.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
The joy of community and friendship really fuels my bad
habit of never sitting for more than a minute. And
it all happened in the gorgeous, gorgeous sun, which turned
me from a basic white girl to a slightly olive
skinned white girl with hours laying on a rickety lawn
chair or lacing up I used to be peach tennis
shoes and hitting the pavement to cover some serious ground.
Another great summer in the books, full of bee boop
(06:18):
and boppin in the sun. Let's do it all again
next year.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
All right, mister Laughlin, is not time for you to
take over, and you let us know how we did today.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Okay, we'll start with Jenny. I really enjoyed your organizational structure.
How it was kind of this like fun narrative, you know,
RV camping, and then it went down to you know,
the serious one about your sister in Iceland, and then
kind of brought it back. That was a really effective
narrative structure as far as writing goes. That was also
(06:55):
very strong because your list, like list of specifics as
you went through was it was easy to listen to
and follow and it felt like natural and conversational. I
it's it's interesting like listening to a speech. You know,
asking the question and then giving the answer can kind
of work effective, work effectively. If you were writing a
college essay, I might advise you not to do that.
(07:16):
But overall, I really enjoyed it, and like I said,
the narrative organization was definitely the strong the strong point there.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay, nice, Yes, that pathos Jenny was real, thank you,
real strong.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It was.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
There must be a speech coach back there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There's somebody here.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Do you want me to just go through all of
them and then give the score.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, let's go through all of them and then yeah,
you can give us a scorer after that.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Okay, so then we'll move on to vaunt Vantonni. You
never want to tip your hand saying you don't have
enough content beforehand, because it makes thing people think, oh, yeah,
it is going to come up a little Okay, but
I I enjoyed. My favorite moment of yours as far
as specific school was like getting the mud on the
clothes while walking through what wsconsin That was a good
(08:02):
effective like vivid in. Any of us who are Midwesterners
have been out hiking through the mud can definitely relate
to that. I thought that I like the chronological structure
of the story. It was easy to follow. Lots of
us reminisce about our summers going from the beginning to
the end. Could you use a little more specifics in
the content as far as like some of those other
quote unquote dope experiences.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That you had.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
We'd love to hear more specifics about those going forward.
But yeah, do.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Your kids use dope in their essays?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Just all the time?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yes, and b dope bruh and skivity.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh man. Now now I feel like I'm at home
with my seventh and eighth grader. Shout out to cohenan
Booker listening to this in the greatest teacher I knows classroom.
That's my wife, missus Laughlin over and my daughter who's
lifting weights right now with the shock Bey Saber swimming
dive teams. So get a girl, yeah, go favors exactly.
(09:01):
Then should we move on to Bailey last? All right,
Baby Bailey? I really that B boop and bopping structure.
I really like a thesis statement that lays out where
we're going structurally. I found that. I like that. It's
kind of a nice signpost to let people know, this
is what I'm talking about now, this is what I'm
talking about. Now, this is what I'm talking about now. My
favorite sentence of all three of them was the fat
(09:22):
little bumblebees bailey that came in yours that. I just
love that vivid imagery and like the idea of somebody
just doing this rooftop or wherever you were gardening, you know,
putting that together, breaking out the big hose, as you said,
another phrase that comes out and soon writing all the
time like that was just effective and super fun, super
fun to listen to. So thank you for sharing that, guys.
(09:45):
That was That was a great, great way to start
the Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This was fun. Honestly I had.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
A joy writing it, mister Laughlin.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I didn't want to say this ahead of time, but
I was a couple of glasses of wine deep as
I wrote last night with my girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So I'm surprised it turned out the way it worked out.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, sometimes a little social lubricant can cult ideas start flowing.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Do we get an A? Do I get an a?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Okay, the scores are. We're gonna start with Jenny. I
did this out of twenty five for each segment, Jenny.
Jenny's is seventeen out of twenty. That's a strong B.
Some nice work, very much above above average. We're gonna
go over to vaunts Vant. He ended up with some
strong points. You had fifteen out of twenty.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Damn the terrible.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I mean, that's that's average. Right, I want to appreciate
watch your language. We're in school right now.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Sorry, Jenny said, drinking wine during her assignment.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm a thirty five year old senior.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Okay, vont In three years, you'll be old enough to
do that too.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Countdown.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, and then Bailey, Bailey, there were only like one
or two slight like ideas. Content wise he could have
expanded on. But so that's that's a nineteen out of twenty.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's good job. Justice for Vaughan's all right.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I got to read one text that says, mister Laughlin
is the best. He was my english and journalism teacher
at Shokapy and he always made learning meaningful. Oh, someone
talks that in I don't know who, but apparently somebod
who likes you.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, mister paid off.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah yeah right, Miss Lawthlin, thank you so much for
being on with us. Like I said, you know you're
not getting paid for this.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
But you're used to that, so we really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And is there anyone else you want to give a
shout out to you before we let you go teach
the young minds?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Great question. I shout out to Brita and Cassie and
Principal Tag because I know they were listening yesterday. They
were nice enough to send me a note. And I
would just also say, you know, vant if you thought
it was being too harsh, I was lucky enough to
have a book published a couple of years ago, and
so going through the editing process. If you ever want
to feel really badly about something that you spent a
lot of time on, something.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You pour your heart into, what's book?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
God, shout out to Emilio de Gratia of Winona, who
is my editor from Calumets on my book. So what
is your book?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
What's your book? Mister Laughlin?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
The books called those who Can't Uh. I tried tried
to do sort of like a Jason Bourne Confederacy of
Dunces at a at a high school. So oh cool.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
People buy that on like Amazon or.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Something Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and yeah, leave me
a review on Goodreads if you're.
Speaker 1 (12:29):

Speaker 4 (12:32):
No, I figure I gotta put my I gotta put
my name.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
On it so those who can't, by way Laughlin.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I'm looking at it right now on Amazon for the
new teacher bought and the lesson plan is his least concerned?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
All right, Well, thank you so much once again, miss
and we really appreciate you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Here is my summer essay. Please kiss out.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
As the summer twenty twenty five comes to an end,
I have to say that it's been one of the best.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I've experienced in a while.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Why, you might ask, simple, I had my first hot
girl summer in five plus years, and I took advantage
of every single second. I attended concerts, completed house DIY
projects and still have some in the works. I spent

(02:00):
the amazing dogs I watch. I wouldn't be able to

(02:21):
created new memories both good and bad. While all of
that was amazing, the highlight of my summer, hands down,
goes to my trip to Iceland. I spent ten days
traveling around the entire country with my sister Katie. This
isn't a moment of breaking about going to Iceland, though,
rather a time to say how happy I was to

I'm sad to see Summer twenty twenty five slowly disappear
into the rear view of mirror, but it will be
the one that I treasure for years to come.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Thank you. That's my essay.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Jennie out here with a pathos.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Okay, so all right, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Wow. Like I said, we'll have you grade us after
we've all done it, So vant you are up next mine.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I might be a little bit on the shorter side.
We didn't discuss length, but there with me, ready.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Mister Laughlin, I am ready.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, we go. They say Minnesota summers don't last long,
but when they're here, it's like the universe packs a
whole year of dope experiences into a couple of months
and challenges you to keep up. My summer kicked off
with us foster failing sweet Avia Girl, our thirty five

go fine in adventure, even when you don't think this.
Want to be found all right, nice, thank you, thank you,
thank you? All right, like to thank the academy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Okaypnas, Bailey jay, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
All right.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I can describe the summer of twenty twenty five in
one simple sentence. I spent it be boop bopping around
in the sun. Bee boop boppin' b bees were a
plenty in my homble garden this year. This was my
third year planting seeds in the ugly dirt patch next
to my apartment building. I was determined to prove I
had a green thumb, three bags of soil, a tub
(04:57):
of fertilizer, and consistently haulling that goal.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Hose out and bam.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I have buckets of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and basil, and
some wild flowers for the fat little bumblebees.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
To nap in boot.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
In June, I booped on over to Ohio for our
annual family trip to visit my grandma, who is ninety
four and slick as a whistle. It's a twelve hour
drive to Castellia, Ohio, and with a two point five
old year old niece, it took fourteen hours worth it,
though for the time spent visiting with family, pints of
Toffs ice cream, surveying the land in the golf cart,
(05:30):
and a visit to the Merry Go Round Museum in
Vacation Land. Family truly is what it's all about.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Boppin' man.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I was boppin' from one social event to the next
this summer. I graced the audience for eighteen theatrical productions
and trapes around the West Bank. For forty eight fringe shows.
I hit up singles events, book clubs, burlesque shows, grad parties,
farmers' markets, picnics, and volunteer gardening sessions.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Believe it or not, I never got tired.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
The joy of community and friendship really fuels my bad
habit of never sitting for more than a minute. And
it all happened in the gorgeous, gorgeous sun, which turned
me from a basic white girl to a slightly olive
skinned white girl with hours laying on a rickety lawn
chair or lacing up I used to be peach tennis
shoes and hitting the pavement to cover some serious ground.
Another great summer in the books, full of bee boop
(06:18):
and boppin in the sun. Let's do it all again
next year.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
All right, mister Laughlin, is not time for you to
take over, and you let us know how we did today.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Okay, we'll start with Jenny. I really enjoyed your organizational structure.
How it was kind of this like fun narrative, you know,
RV camping, and then it went down to you know,
the serious one about your sister in Iceland, and then
kind of brought it back. That was a really effective
narrative structure as far as writing goes. That was also
(06:55):
very strong because your list, like list of specifics as
you went through was it was easy to listen to
and follow and it felt like natural and conversational. I
it's it's interesting like listening to a speech. You know,
asking the question and then giving the answer can kind
of work effective, work effectively. If you were writing a
college essay, I might advise you not to do that.
(07:16):
But overall, I really enjoyed it, and like I said,
the narrative organization was definitely the strong the strong point there.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay, nice, Yes, that pathos Jenny was real, thank you,
real strong.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
It was.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
There must be a speech coach back there.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
There's somebody here.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Do you want me to just go through all of
them and then give the score.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, let's go through all of them and then yeah,
you can give us a scorer after that.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Okay, so then we'll move on to vaunt Vantonni. You
never want to tip your hand saying you don't have
enough content beforehand, because it makes thing people think, oh, yeah,
it is going to come up a little Okay, but
I I enjoyed. My favorite moment of yours as far
as specific school was like getting the mud on the
clothes while walking through what wsconsin That was a good
(08:02):
effective like vivid in. Any of us who are Midwesterners
have been out hiking through the mud can definitely relate
to that. I thought that I like the chronological structure
of the story. It was easy to follow. Lots of
us reminisce about our summers going from the beginning to
the end. Could you use a little more specifics in
the content as far as like some of those other
quote unquote dope experiences.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That you had.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
We'd love to hear more specifics about those going forward.
But yeah, do.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Your kids use dope in their essays?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Just all the time?

kind of a nice signpost to let people know, this

talking about. Now, this is what I'm talking about now. My
favorite sentence of all three of them was the fat

love that vivid imagery and like the idea of somebody

expanded on. But so that's that's a nineteen out of twenty.

is the best. He was my english and journalism teacher
at Shokapy and he always made learning meaningful. Oh, someone
talks that in I don't know who, but apparently somebod
who likes you.

being on with us. Like I said, you know you're
not getting paid for this.

shout out to you before we let you go teach
the young minds?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Great question. I shout out to Brita and Cassie and
Principal Tag because I know they were listening yesterday. They
were nice enough to send me a note. And I
would just also say, you know, vant if you thought
it was being too harsh, I was lucky enough to
have a book published a couple of years ago, and
so going through the editing process. If you ever want
to feel really badly about something that you spent a
lot of time on, something.
