Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Kev's son, Josiah is in seventh grade. All right, after
we talk about hoes and I know that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Kev's son Josiah is in seventh grade, and he is
one of the most talented kids that I have ever seen.
And he, as well as all of those kids at
his school, did a fabulous job last night. They kept
me awake watching the Disney Descendants play that they had,
their musical that they had yesterday at school.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, so they did a great job.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
This is Josiah's first time, if you can believe it,
ever being in a play or ever doing anything theater related.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
He's more of a drawer animator.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
He makes works of arts with his hands, and even
though he likes doing voiceovers, he's never auditioned or did
a play. So he's been really excited and really focused
and really looking forward to this moment.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So again, appreciate you and Chelse for pulling up.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So once the play has concluded, after all two hours
of it, they get done all.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
The can I stop you?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
B So Kevin texts Chelsea and I and he goes,
you guys know this thing is going to be two hours,
he texts because he's sitting in like the front rows
with all the parents are and we're kind of in
the back, and he goes, feel free to scoot if
you want to.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I said, this spit two hours. You all won't, so
I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I was willing to stay the whole time. Miss Chelsea
was Chelousa was like Chelsea was like two hours. Which,
by the way, it is weird to go and watch
and you know one kid, like I know, usually that's
what happens to you when you go see your kid
and stuffing, but you at least know the other kids.
So I'm sitting there the whole time, and the entire
time I'm watching this thing going, Josiah is better than
(01:48):
that kid, better.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Than this kid. Like I was judging these other kids,
I have no idea who they are a big role.
I would say, he's not the main actor.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
He's he's supporting.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, he looks good though he's good At first I
was growing up. Man, the kid does not look the same.
In a year time, he went from being this little
like I felt like the little kid who is just
like so cute and innocent to now he's like a
grown ass man's crazy.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
How did he do?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I thought he did well? Yeah, thought he did well.
I mean it's his first time. And then you know
your child, so you know their tendencies so you can
see them like, Okay, Joe's a little bit nervous, or
he's not confident in this particular dance move, so you
know that type of stuff. But he delivered all his
lines well. I thought the inflection was great. But when
he came off the stage, that was his question. Immediately
(02:38):
he asked his mom. He was like, how did I do?
And his mom said, oh my god, you did a
great job. And Joe's like, no, give me the bad
And then that's when I step in because I have
what I'm saying, I have critiques. You want to know
what you did wrong, I'm gonna tell you. So I
started and he didn't do a lot of things incorrect.
But one of the things that I paid attention to.
(03:00):
And if you're a theater person, they call it blocking.
It's your staging where you are on the stage, and
like one of the golden rules is never turn your
back to the audience. Cheat out, cheat out, cheat out,
give yourself at a little stand so you can like
halfway look at your character you're referring to at the time,
and then the audience can see your physiology and all
the things. Now, this particular scene, I don't know how
(03:20):
he actually could have cheated out, but his whole back
was to us, and that was gonna be my critique.
But as I'm critiquing him, I start to see his
posture kind of start to slump, and I could kind
of see me giving him a critique is kind of
being met with sadness almost like he's not like engaged,
like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's kind of taking it
(03:41):
to heart. And in that moment, I quickly pivot and
I'm like, man, but you did so then I went
to the things you did great. I'm like, man, when
you deliver this one line, it was incredible, Like how
excited you got The crowd was laughing, Like I tried
to pivot, and I'm like, man, like how do parents
give their children critiques? And then also like how do
those critique change your child? Because I know for a fact,
(04:02):
like sometimes parents can be so involved that it can
strip your child of enjoying the activity and they never
want to do it again.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, you suck. The spirit right out of.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Them, by the way, he was tom Izzo man, he
was yelling at him in the lot. Can I tell
you a piece of advice from coaching that I got
from Tim McCormick, tim NBA player, great guy. Tim McCormick
told me that after the event that you go to
like so after the game, he said, never talked about
(04:31):
the game or talk about the event afterwards. And I
know Josiah asked you for advice, he said, he would say,
don't even if you have a critique or criticism, don't
talk about it right after the game, because after the
game is the last time in the world that they
should know about what they did and did wrong the
next day when when you're doing it, and only because
what happens is they just got done with this high
(04:53):
of playing the game or low if they lost. And
he would say that the comment that you're going to
make to them is only going to make them feel worse,
not better.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So he would always say so.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
He would always turn music on in the car and
crank up music and laugh and oh my god, what's
going on? You know, and you wouldn't even talk about
the game. But with a play it might be different.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I thought Josiah did great.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Can I tell you what I was most impressed with,
which Joe, because they had their sound system was bad.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They had a broken sound system, which I.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Felt bad for whoever the teacher was that puts the
play on because he had to come out and explain.
He said that whole thing, which, by the way, ain't
a cheap school. That sound system. Somebody needs to donate
a better sound system. That tell Mitt Romney, donate some
more money.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's cool. So long story short.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Josiah inflected when his mic wasn't working so I could
hear him in the back like he did a good job.
He knew that his mic maybe wasn't the best, and
I thought I could hear him. He's got a lot
of his dad in him in that. So I thought
that was pretty That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But I just don't know. So they have two more today.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
They're doing a one pm show, which was always like
my favorite when you do the play for the students
like you do it for your school. Yeah, as always
the name. He's got one later today at seven. Are
you going to all three shows?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Hell?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
No, I don't even think I'm allowed to go to
the one at one, but I'll be back at the
one tonight, so you're going to both those shows.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The show quick question.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I got to ask you with this with him doing
theater and stuff as a guy, because I had one
theater kid, so I actually Luke was a choir kid.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Though this was that was pretty interesting. I'm thinking about that.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
It wasn't me in that special Guy Boys Grow.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
He was in h yeah, oh god, the uh the
no is Notre Dame Prep. They called it The Irishman. Yeah, yeah,
they were the Irishman. As a dad, do you do
you want and I know he's not a sports kid
and stuff like that. He's taken after you though, as
being a theatrical and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Do you do you like.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
That you see boys in theaters?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Nerdy?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, I'm just saying that, I'll be honest with you.
I was kind of bummed that Jacob didn't want to
do sports.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
He's like, as a dad, how do you feel.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Because I think there's a lot of times where dad's
you know, with boys, you want your kid to be
a sports kid man.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
So I mean originally, of course, like my favorite sport
is basketball. Would I like to I always envision myself
being on March madness when they show to college parents
and they're wearing their team shirts. So you're tim hardaway, Yeah,
for sure, but early you want to put Josia in
baseball and like t ball, and he was really good.
Josiah is incredibly athletic. He's like faster than most kids
(07:25):
and have always been. And he was performing really well,
but he wasn't really in it. And then I told
his mom to take him to like some Halloween thing
and she was in the car.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was crying.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
She was like, he won't get out of the car, and
I'm like, Josiah, I need you get out the car.
He was like, you didn't ask me if I wanted
to go the same way. You didn't ask me if
I wanted to play baseball. And I was like, Okay,
from now on, I'm just going to support where you're
at it, not trying to make you do what I
want to do.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Have I literally had the same discussion with Smith in
the car yesterday because every day when I pick him
up from school, he's.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Like, do I go to swim today? And he like
has a.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Meltdown when I tell him, yeah, today's day, and he's
like you and Dad didn't even ask me if I
wanted to do it.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
That's such a thing.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It hit me and it hurt me when Jacob at
first because he was our best athlete in the family,
when because he was such a good soccer player. But
then I started seeing what happens in his life now
and to look back on it, going, God, I was
so petty with Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I wanted it for me, not for him. What's up, Austin?
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (08:28):
Good morning you lovely people.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
So keV you were talking about, like how do you
give criticism? One of the things that I've learned through
just like my work and social work and everything, is
you have.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
To get the compliment sandwich.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
You basically like you start with, hey, this is something
you did really well, and then you give that criticism
of like hey, like maybe we could work on this,
and then you finish it up with another compliment and
then just encourage him to keep practicing.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, okay, compliments that before.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
But even as an adult and somebody compliment sandwich is me,
all I can focus on is the middle.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, And then I wonder if the other compliments were
like sincere or they just in there.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, they didn't just want to say the bad stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Hey Riley, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Good morning? Hi? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
We're good? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (09:22):
So I just wanted to comment.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
One thing that I personally heard and like I feel
like I try and pass on is that you know,
when your kid asks you how they did, you ask
them how they sorry, you asked them how they think
they did? And then you know, you can feed off
that because you end up teaching them inner acceptance opposed
(09:46):
to you know, the outer acceptance from other people.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
What are you do in a situation where your child
just like I did?
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Okay, I think that's I think that's okay to accept
So I think it's good to you know, judge yourself
somewhat and.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Say, okay, well, like what can we do better from
that situation? And teach them you know, there's always room
for improvement. It's only a failure if you don't learn
from what you fail at.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Gotcha, Riley? What's your background with this? You have kids?
Are you a teacher? What are you?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I do have a kid, but he's very young, he's
only he's about the eighteen months but I do have
a lot of nieces and nephews so and very close
to them. So I definitely try and learn, learn as
much as I can and pass that on because I
know I feel like we all try to get that
outer acceptance and that's not Well.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Do you look at your eighteen month old and say
you are the greatest drooler I have ever seen it?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, I do praise him. I mean he's crazy, wicked, smart.
I'm a little scared, but but I do think that
eventually is something I hope I stick with. And I
mean it's hard because I've been our initial reaction is
always like you did such a good job, you know,
But I think it's an important tool to teach your kids.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, And I do think though it's actually good to
hear to tell the kids, you know what, I've seen
you guys play better, but that's okay, you know what
I mean, you got it next time, because I think
kids honestly do call bs sometimes.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I always hear Wes, who is a track coach, ask kids,
do you feel like you had more?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
You had more left in the tank?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, when they reach the finish line.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
And I feel like that's a good question because It
forces them to reflect on what they were capable of
versus how they did.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You know, I always hated when my kids would come
back and they would they would bitch and moan and
complain about the other kids that were playing there, because
I always felt like it wasn't being a team player.
So I was there and go I would like defend
these other kids and they would get so mad at me,
be like, you know what, don't worry about them, worry
about you and how you did.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What's up? Justin how you doing.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There?
Speaker 8 (11:59):
You areds TV kind of like the first caller, Dude,
I know sentence that she hates the compliment sandwich, but
I usually try to I'm a first off, I'm a
gym teacher, so I do with this a lot. I
make them play competitively, and I get I get them
a good feedback first, and then try to sprinkle in
(12:21):
a negative feedback with let's work on this, let's work
on that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, Yeah like that, Let's work on yeah. I like that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Hey, as a gym teacher, do you pick on the
fat kids like my gym teachers used to do with
me all the time?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I do not, mo Joe, do you.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Make kids climb ropes like I used to have to
climb ropes, and as a big kid in school, I
can never climb the rope.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Of a rope. But I know these kids, some of
them are going to make it to the top, and
I'm worried about one of them falling on that rock
hard gym floor.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, I remember we used to climb. We did.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
We did stuff that I guarantee you nowadays they don't
do in school anymore. In gym class Like, I'm like,
we used to actually wash our gym teacher's car.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You did, mister, Yeah, it would make us wash his car.
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Can I give a critique of of the play from
last night.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, you got to start with a compliment, you know,
give me the sandwich.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I'll give you a compliment that, uh, the temperature was
nice inside the theater. Okay, here's my complaint. They did
not have any refreshments for me to I wanted to.
I wanted like, uh, popcorn and candy and stuff like that.
And they could be selling it for a fundraiser or something.
I said to Chelsea. We were hungry going in, and
I said to I, go, I guarantee you a school
(13:36):
like this has to have like a refreshment stand or something.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I walked around that place. I was looking all over.
I'm like, where the hell of the refreshment across the hall?
They had some type of cod cod. They have some
trumble cookies.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
They had a bunch of stuff I saw, but that
looked like a private party.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I didn't know because some people I knew when in
there for tends you can eat.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
They had all tell me a fish fry going on
or something. Huh, all right, Josiah was awesome. Tell Josiah,
by the way, can I play? Can I play this?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Was?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
This was actually pretty funny. Hold on a second, let
me see if I can play this for you guys.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Josiah left us a voicemail message, uh for for Chelsea
and I.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I just like his dad does.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Really seriously honestly spitting of him. Okay, so here you go.
Speaker 10 (14:22):

him from the spot. It's just how cool I am.

a cute kid. Appreciate God. He takes after his mother.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
By the way, Jasmin looks like she's like fourteen years old.

She's so young. Big ass

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Josiah inflected when his mic wasn't working so I could
hear him in the back like he did a good job.
He knew that his mic maybe wasn't the best, and
I thought I could hear him. He's got a lot
of his dad in him in that. So I thought
that was pretty That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But I just don't know. So they have two more today.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
They're doing a one pm show, which was always like
my favorite when you do the play for the students
like you do it for your school. Yeah, as always
the name. He's got one later today at seven. Are
you going to all three shows?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Hell?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
No, I don't even think I'm allowed to go to
the one at one, but I'll be back at the
one tonight, so you're going to both those shows.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The show quick question.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I got to ask you with this with him doing
theater and stuff as a guy, because I had one
theater kid, so I actually Luke was a choir kid.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Though this was that was pretty interesting. I'm thinking about that.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
It wasn't me in that special Guy Boys Grow.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
He was in h yeah, oh god, the uh the
no is Notre Dame Prep. They called it The Irishman. Yeah, yeah,
they were the Irishman. As a dad, do you do
you want and I know he's not a sports kid
and stuff like that. He's taken after you though, as
being a theatrical and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Do you do you like.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
That you see boys in theaters?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Nerdy?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
No, I'm just saying that, I'll be honest with you.
I was kind of bummed that Jacob didn't want to
do sports.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
He's like, as a dad, how do you feel.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Because I think there's a lot of times where dad's
you know, with boys, you want your kid to be
a sports kid man.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
So I mean originally, of course, like my favorite sport
is basketball. Would I like to I always envision myself
being on March madness when they show to college parents
and they're wearing their team shirts. So you're tim hardaway, Yeah,
for sure, but early you want to put Josia in
baseball and like t ball, and he was really good.
Josiah is incredibly athletic. He's like faster than most kids
(07:25):
and have always been. And he was performing really well,
but he wasn't really in it. And then I told
his mom to take him to like some Halloween thing
and she was in the car.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was crying.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
She was like, he won't get out of the car, and
I'm like, Josiah, I need you get out the car.
He was like, you didn't ask me if I wanted
to go the same way. You didn't ask me if
I wanted to play baseball. And I was like, Okay,
from now on, I'm just going to support where you're
at it, not trying to make you do what I
want to do.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Have I literally had the same discussion with Smith in
the car yesterday because every day when I pick him
up from school, he's.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Like, do I go to swim today? And he like
has a.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
Meltdown when I tell him, yeah, today's day, and he's
like you and Dad didn't even ask me if I
wanted to do it.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
That's such a thing.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It hit me and it hurt me when Jacob at
first because he was our best athlete in the family,
when because he was such a good soccer player. But
then I started seeing what happens in his life now
and to look back on it, going, God, I was
so petty with Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I wanted it for me, not for him. What's up, Austin?
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (08:28):
Good morning you lovely people.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
What's up.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
So keV you were talking about, like how do you
give criticism? One of the things that I've learned through
just like my work and social work and everything, is
you have.
Speaker 8 (08:42):
To get the compliment sandwich.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
You basically like you start with, hey, this is something
you did really well, and then you give that criticism
of like hey, like maybe we could work on this,
and then you finish it up with another compliment and
then just encourage him to keep practicing.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, okay, compliments that before.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
But even as an adult and somebody compliment sandwich is me,
all I can focus on is the middle.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, And then I wonder if the other compliments were
like sincere or they just in there.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, they didn't just want to say the bad stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Hey Riley, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Good morning? Hi? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
We're good? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (09:22):
So I just wanted to comment.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
One thing that I personally heard and like I feel
like I try and pass on is that you know,
when your kid asks you how they did, you ask
them how they sorry, you asked them how they think
they did? And then you know, you can feed off
that because you end up teaching them inner acceptance opposed
(09:46):
to you know, the outer acceptance from other people.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
What are you do in a situation where your child
just like I did?
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Okay, I think that's I think that's okay to accept
So I think it's good to you know, judge yourself
somewhat and.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Say, okay, well, like what can we do better from
that situation? And teach them you know, there's always room
for improvement. It's only a failure if you don't learn
from what you fail at.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Gotcha, Riley? What's your background with this? You have kids?
Are you a teacher? What are you?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I do have a kid, but he's very young, he's
only he's about the eighteen months but I do have
a lot of nieces and nephews so and very close
to them. So I definitely try and learn, learn as
much as I can and pass that on because I
know I feel like we all try to get that
outer acceptance and that's not Well.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Do you look at your eighteen month old and say
you are the greatest drooler I have ever seen it?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, I do praise him. I mean he's crazy, wicked, smart.
I'm a little scared, but but I do think that
eventually is something I hope I stick with. And I
mean it's hard because I've been our initial reaction is
always like you did such a good job, you know,
But I think it's an important tool to teach your kids.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, And I do think though it's actually good to
hear to tell the kids, you know what, I've seen
you guys play better, but that's okay, you know what
I mean, you got it next time, because I think
kids honestly do call bs sometimes.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I always hear Wes, who is a track coach, ask kids,
do you feel like you had more?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
You had more left in the tank?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, when they reach the finish line.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
And I feel like that's a good question because It
forces them to reflect on what they were capable of
versus how they did.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You know, I always hated when my kids would come
back and they would they would bitch and moan and
complain about the other kids that were playing there, because
I always felt like it wasn't being a team player.
So I was there and go I would like defend
these other kids and they would get so mad at me,
be like, you know what, don't worry about them, worry
about you and how you did.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What's up? Justin how you doing.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There?
Speaker 8 (11:59):
You areds TV kind of like the first caller, Dude,
I know sentence that she hates the compliment sandwich, but
I usually try to I'm a first off, I'm a
gym teacher, so I do with this a lot. I
make them play competitively, and I get I get them
a good feedback first, and then try to sprinkle in
(12:21):
a negative feedback with let's work on this, let's work
on that.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, Yeah like that, Let's work on yeah. I like that.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Hey, as a gym teacher, do you pick on the
fat kids like my gym teachers used to do with
me all the time?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I do not, mo Joe, do you.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Make kids climb ropes like I used to have to
climb ropes, and as a big kid in school, I
can never climb the rope.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Of a rope. But I know these kids, some of
them are going to make it to the top, and
I'm worried about one of them falling on that rock
hard gym floor.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, I remember we used to climb. We did.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
We did stuff that I guarantee you nowadays they don't
do in school anymore. In gym class Like, I'm like,
we used to actually wash our gym teacher's car.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You did, mister, Yeah, it would make us wash his car.
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Can I give a critique of of the play from
last night.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Well, you got to start with a compliment, you know,
give me the sandwich.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I'll give you a compliment that, uh, the temperature was
nice inside the theater. Okay, here's my complaint. They did
not have any refreshments for me to I wanted to.
I wanted like, uh, popcorn and candy and stuff like that.
And they could be selling it for a fundraiser or something.
I said to Chelsea. We were hungry going in, and
I said to I, go, I guarantee you a school
(13:36):
like this has to have like a refreshment stand or something.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I walked around that place. I was looking all over.
I'm like, where the hell of the refreshment across the hall?
They had some type of cod cod. They have some
trumble cookies.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
They had a bunch of stuff I saw, but that
looked like a private party.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I didn't know because some people I knew when in
there for tends you can eat.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
They had all tell me a fish fry going on
or something. Huh, all right, Josiah was awesome. Tell Josiah,
by the way, can I play? Can I play this?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Was?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
This was actually pretty funny. Hold on a second, let
me see if I can play this for you guys.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Josiah left us a voicemail message, uh for for Chelsea
and I.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I just like his dad does.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Really seriously honestly spitting of him. Okay, so here you go.
Speaker 10 (14:22):

him from the spot. It's just how cool I am.
