that table, this time in front of the cow Poly
Journalism building. All we have on the table are some mics,
(00:23):
some KCPR stickers, and.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
A fold out sign that asks parents, what is your
fondest college memory?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh yeah, we forgot to say. It is open house weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It is open house weekend, and much like the space
in front of us, it's pretty barren, it's pretty open.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, that's what open houses. Campus right now is flooded
with parents, prospective cow Poly students, transfers, everyone you can imagine,
and we are going to try to talk to some
parents about some crazy stories. Lovely Welcome you guys. I'm Grace,
I'm Satian.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You guys names, I'm Evan Abelson and I'm Liz Abelson
her mom.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Nice to meet you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Nice to meet you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So how's your day going? Open house? Good? It's cold though,
it's so cold? Yeah, okay, good? Yeah, it's unfortunate weekend, yes,
I know, for the open house. And so today we
pose a question mainly to parents, but we'll get to
you as well. Evan, did you go to college? I did? Yeah,
where did you go to college?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I went to cal State Fullerton?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, And what did you major in.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm majored in broadcast journalism, which.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Is oh my goodness. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, she had no choice, es just born into.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It practically exactly. Yeah. So what is your favorite college memory?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Well?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I had to think about it, but I guess my
favorite college memory would be I did my internship on
The Simpsons that animated, and then I met my husband there,
and then we had two beautiful children.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So, well, where's the other one.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
She's twelve, so she's at home with dad.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Got you in school?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, so we traveled here just so she could be here.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That is so cool. Working on the Simpsons. What was
that like?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It was interesting. I've worked I worked on it nineteen years,
so oh wow, it's a long time.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, that's a wild internship to have. I never heard
of a nineteen year long intern.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yes, I did my internship and then they offered me
a job a year later, so yeah, that makes much sense. Yeah, yes,
a very long internship.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Like you said, you met your husband there. What do
you do?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
He was the storyboard artist on the Simpsons. Oh cool,
and then now he uh co directed Minions.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Ooh.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Also so now he's an animation director.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
That is so cool. World truly is not that big.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
No, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Know world time so Evan, Yeah, you're still in high school, yes, seniors. Yeah,
it's wonderful. Any fun high school memories or you haven't
made them yet? Yeah, I mean there's definitely been a few.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
You.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I ran for president last year, oh my goodness for
this year, and there was this big like election fraud
drama because like votes were miscounted and it was there's
this big, like huge fraud. But it ended up making
me and this other girl co presidents, which has been
a really great experience. So even though it wasn't the
(03:22):
outcome that we were all expecting, it was.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So do you have like the title of like madame
president or it's like madame co president?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I mean, whenever I tell people, I'm like, oh, I'm
the co president. But then whenever people refer to us,
they usually just say president. But I felt bad like
just canceling her out, so I usually say co president.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, you're you're a good co president. Then thank you. Yeah, wonderful.
Do you have anything else? To ask.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know, I had something and then I looked to
this direction. I completely forgot.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
It always happens. Okay, thank you so much, you guys
drives where it was nice, wonderful. Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
It's been a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We hope you commit.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah, thank you, I did too.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah. What does it feel like, Sbastian to talk to
high schoolers again? Not that not that different.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I'm only like a few years older than them, that's true,
Like I don't have like supremacy. And besides, I really
enjoyed my time in high school. Like I consider junior
year of pre COVID to beat the best year of
my life.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Academically I was doing really good. Yeah, my friend's circle
was doing great. I was really happy with like everything.
Didn't have to think about college yet or anything, right,
just had to like, you know, keep myself up.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Was pretty great. Yeah. So you know, I don't really
have an issue with it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And I've also like taught kids around high school age
in the past, so it's not a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Really, I'm used to it. That's good. You I think
I get in my head a little bit about it, Honestly,
I think like self conscious in your head or like
ego boosting. No, no, no, neither of those. Just like
thinking that they're such a wildly different generation than me
when they're literally like three years.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Younger, like just in one of my classes, I wouldn't
have thought twice about it exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, like there are I don't think the high schoolers
are that. Yeah, I just get in my head about it,
but they're all really trull Love you guys. Hello, Hello,
welcome to Chatterbox. Thanks, I'm Grace, him Grace, I'm Ella.
I'm Sarah. You guys, this is fashion.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I was focused so funnest college memory you got, you know, I.
Speaker 9 (05:46):
Think just being in the Greek system was really great
for me.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
We had I went to Oregon and we had a big, huge,
like Greek Week thing and we won that and it
was just a really great like feeling of camaraderie and
it was just a fun time, you know, to be
involved in everything and huge.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Water fights, which I was lame, but it was really fun.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, it's a good memory.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And do you hope that your daughter also joins Greek life.
Speaker 10 (06:11):
If she wants to.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
I think she's interested.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah. Yeah, thinking about it.
Speaker 11 (06:15):
Yeah, Yeah, I definitely, and I'm gonna rush and I'm like,
I know I want to really join a sorority, but
I'm going to kind of see like during rush week,
you know, and like meet a bunch of people.
Speaker 10 (06:25):
So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
But it's so cool. Yeah, I have no input, I
know Greek life. For me, that's all right. And for you,
what is your fondest high school memory.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
Well, so I go to a Catholic high school and
we do a lot of retreats and I'm not like
super religious, but I'm kind of involved in campus ministry
because I love like leadership, and I've had like a
lot of different classes on retreats that's been really fun,
like getting to know other people and like talking to
them and relating to them. But I think my favorite
was this year. I didn't lead it, but it was
(06:59):
like our higher it's like our senior retreat and like
pretty much the whole class goes, and it's like super
like loved by my whole school, and it's like getting
to know a bunch of people in my Like I
feel like I knew I know a lot of people
in my class, which kind of getting to know more
of them and like relating to them on deeper level.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
It was COVID, so like, gotcha, everyone has like COVID
now story for school and their memories. But that was her,
so she sort of started really didn't start the sophomore
year until she was.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
There, so it was kind of a weird.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, transition, that might be better than ending no senior year.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
I don't know what the best with the best solution
is except not to.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
Do it at all.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm ninety percent sure I failed like half my classes,
and I think the only reason I passed is that
everyone else, like fifty percent at least also did the
same thing, so we all got passed.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh yeah, So what's the number one thing you are
looking forward to if you choose to go to Kapali.
Speaker 10 (07:50):
I already committed, actually started.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You already got the yeah, the like, hey you can
come there. You guys to sell. But I don't know.
Speaker 11 (08:00):
I mean, i'd say maybe joining a sorority, but also
just like getting into a bunch of people being near
the beach. We live in the Bay Area, our beaches
are really cold, so I feel like it'll be fun
to have warm weather all the time and just kind
of like I'm going to be a journalism major, so
it's like joining and like learning more about that.
Speaker 10 (08:17):
I'm really excited.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, awesome, you came to the right place. Yeah. What
entices you with journalism?
Speaker 10 (08:22):
Well, my mom was a journalism major.
Speaker 11 (08:24):
But I've always just been interested in like writing and
stuff like that, and like, I don't know, I love
like podcasts and social media.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
I think it's super interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So, oh, we do have podcasting classes. We do. Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Also, it was so nice to me you guys so much.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Good luck with your dorm situation. By the way, I
was in Yakutu too.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, someone's lucky.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I was a little rat. My roommate was in the
Honors college, so I like off of them. Yeah, it
was great.
Speaker 2 (09:04):

the red bricks, it's not the best one.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay. Later recording this, yes, well, hello, the footage after.
Speaker 12 (09:26):
We'll absolutely send you the footage. I'll even make you
a guest account so you can see what it looks
like the vision pro.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
What's your name.
Speaker 13 (09:34):
My name is Kim Bischeff, Kim Bischief.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Nice to meet you, Grace, Hi Grace.
Speaker 13 (09:37):
Nice to meet you.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You see we've met before, me before. For our audio listeners,
Kim right now is wearing Apple Vision poo Rose. How
did you get your little pause on those?
Speaker 12 (09:49):
Well, it's for research, believe it or not. We know
that immersive environment storytelling is an emerging area of media,
and we want our students to be prepared to tell
stories for that immersive world.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not
included in that wei because I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So your cowboy professor, I am journalism professor.
Speaker 13 (10:11):
Yes, I teach media innovation.
Speaker 14 (10:12):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So how are you hoping to use these Apple Vision pros?
How are you innovating?
Speaker 12 (10:16):
Well, I'm hoping to do what I'm doing at this
exact moment, which is making immersive video and taking immersive photographs,
and I'm thinking about how we can incorporate that into
storytelling in the future. That is so and mostly I'm
just walking around looking super cool.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, very cool. Yeah. How is open house going for you?
Speaker 13 (10:36):
So far?
Speaker 12 (10:37):
It's going great. I've just been standing in the hallway
and welcoming people and it's been a lot of fun
to see people discover the journalism apartment for the first time.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Have you been wearing those of the entire time?
Speaker 12 (10:47):
I'm not, okay, it's a little bit off putting.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
No, not at all.
Speaker 15 (10:54):
Yes, talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
If I were visiting student I would I would come
away thinking that's it's a weird class.
Speaker 13 (11:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (11:01):
I don't generally let people know what a huge dork
I am until like at least the second week.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Sure.
Speaker 13 (11:07):
Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So the question that we're asking everybody today is what
their fondest college memory is. So do you have an answer?
Speaker 12 (11:15):
Oh, my gosh, there's so many that are coming to mind.
I'm trying to think of one. But I worked in
student media when I was in college, and one of
my fondest memories, believe it or not, was during the
La riots when, yeah, I was in the newsroom and
the person who used to take our newspaper that was,
you know, on paper down to the printer to be
(11:36):
distributed to the next day just decided that driving to
East LA while there was a riot going on was
probably not the best move. So I grabbed the boards
with the sports editor, and the two of us drove
downtown and dropped off those boards and it was really
exciting and we actually.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Kissed Love Stories.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
It was a one time only, just like pure emotions
running high event, and we never spoke of it again.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Wow. Was it like not a word about this or
like we don't have to talk about this.
Speaker 12 (12:11):
It was just not mentioned until like twenty years later
when we reconnected on Facebook.
Speaker 13 (12:15):
We both were like, did that really happen? Know, if
that really happened?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Wow, that is amazing. Didn't feel like a movie moment,
Like everything around.
Speaker 13 (12:23):
It totally felt like a movie moment.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (12:25):
I mean it was really exciting and scary, and you know,
you had the sense that you were just in the
middle of the action. And once we had satisfied on
mission and delivered the paper safely to the printer, it
was this incredible sense of collaborative accomplishment and so we
just you know, celebrated right outside the printing warehouse.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, that is amazing.
Speaker 13 (12:46):
Kiss Just to be clearure.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Awesome. That is like one of the best answers I've
gotten today. That's so cool. Cool. Do you have any
plans for the rest of open house day weekend?
Speaker 13 (12:58):
Not really.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
I think I'll probably just wrap up this video at
some point, I guess I should have asked.
Speaker 13 (13:04):
I'm still learning. But it's okay that I'm recording you.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 13 (13:08):
Yeah, it's a mutual recording happening.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Cool. Thank you so much, Kim yea bye. Would you
ever consider buying the Apple Vision prison?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Well, I actually despise Apple, like I hate the company God,
So we can get into that later if you want.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
But I do not like Apple passionate.
Speaker 16 (13:36):
So I'm going to tell you a little bit about
one of my fondest memories of college. I'm saying this
because if I could go back to my eighteen year
old self, I would tell myself to savor this and
do more of it. So I actually had the opportunity.
One day at school. There were two speakers that were
coming on and one of them these are both political figures,
(13:56):
but from a while back. One of them was Jesse Jackson,
and he came and spoke, and then later that night
was a former Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan, Alexander Haig,
and they couldn't be more different. And to see the
audiences but they were talking about similar topics, and to
see them talk and talk about engagement with society and
(14:20):
their different points of view, and to have it in
the same day on the same campus showed kind of
a juxtaposition of difference of opinions but also different ways of.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Looking at things.
Speaker 16 (14:30):
And I think that's exactly what college is about, is
exploring all these different ideas and then figuring out what fit.
And after that, I definitely felt an affinity for one
more than the other, but I understood where the other
one was coming from, which allowed me to choose the
one that I felt more.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Of an affinity for. And I did it by accident.
Speaker 16 (14:48):
And so I would just say speakers or like opportunities
that come up on campus, to take advantage of those,
because you never know.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Right absolutely, what was your major in.
Speaker 16 (14:57):
I was an English literature major. Oh yeah, even I
wasn't politics or anything but reading about other people's stories.
And these people, those speakers were essentially telling their stories.
And I notice here in your journalism program, storytelling is
you know what this is about, and it's really what
people get engaged with. So it's it's a skill that
(15:20):
will never go out of style.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Our teachers always make sure we know that it's not
about like a thing happening, it's about the people that
this thing affected, right, so.
Speaker 16 (15:30):
Completely, Yeah, that's what people want to stay tuned in
for too.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
By the way, was it like, were they in the
room at the same time, like a debate or was
it like.
Speaker 16 (15:38):
No, No, it was separate. They just happened to be
scheduled on the same day. One was in the morning
and one was in the evening on the campus same day.
I don't even know if they saw each other. They
probably weren't even on campus at the same time. Well, yeah,
but it's so cool, yea.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We invite political figures and then we get riots. Yeah,
and what about you?
Speaker 17 (15:59):
Okay, I don't know how to top that, Charlotte, my
fondest high school memory. I don't know if you're gonna
like me saying that, but was probably honest convincing my
wonderful parents to host the homecoming after party at our house?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Is the house? Okay?
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Say there was not a part two. We did it once.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Yeah, So why was it your favorite? Why was that
your one of your favorite memories? I don't know.
Speaker 17 (16:35):
Something about walking around my house with like one hundred
people in there and then also looking up and seeing
my dad like sweating and walking is kind of thrilling. Yeah,
I definitely don't want.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
To do that again. Yeah, expressing your parents thrilling.
Speaker 15 (16:50):
Yeah, must be rough, like to see a sweat a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What was your favorite thing about the party, favorite thing
that happened.
Speaker 16 (16:59):
I'm going to talk about the video that you took
and spread around school without me knowing.
Speaker 17 (17:03):
Oh yeah, well okay, So my family and I we
have like a you know, Marco Polo. It's like basically
like a video, like you send a video in your
whole like group.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Whoever's in that Marco Polo can see it, so it's
an appy. So my mom.
Speaker 17 (17:17):
Decided to take a video of the party to show
because we have a family Marco Polo. So she went
around and like filmed every like we're hosting a party
right now. And then what happened, like right is you
were walking upstairs.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Yeah, so I was doing it.
Speaker 16 (17:32):
And it was just for the family more to say,
we didn't know what we were getting into.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
We will never do this again.
Speaker 16 (17:38):
And right at the moment that I took the video,
all the students started chanting they're against their rival high
school f and then they put the name of the
high school, Eliso, and it happened to be the acronym
for this, and.
Speaker 17 (17:52):
I thought that was a little video, so I saved
it and I sent it to some of my friends
and she wasn't And.
Speaker 16 (17:58):
When viral around high school with the parents, oh no, yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
I learned. I learned the danger of social media.
Speaker 17 (18:06):
And then when she got she wasn't really happy with
me when she got a text of the video from
one of her friends, like, oh my gosh.

family in my school. Who were you playing? Oh, just
like one of the ensemble. And it was crazy because
there were people there smoking weed as crazy as wild.
I did not, but there were like not for taking
(19:28):
the weed. I did not, but there were one or
two people, and I was like freaking out because I
did not want the smell to like go in my
clothes or anything, because I didn't want to be falsely convicted.
I was just over.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Thinking of high school. You seemed a little dramatic, very dramatic.

So was your fondest memory from universities?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Yeah, I try to think.
Speaker 18 (20:46):
I went to design school there, so it doesn't design
and just remember being in my studios and a lot
of talk around here about learned by doing something that
we definitely did in design studio. Course was just I
mean you were going, you know, designing things, building things.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
So yeah, is your wrist okay, what are your risks? Okay,

on anyway. So it's worked.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, what was your favorite project that you did in
design school?
Speaker 18 (21:25):
Well, one thing I remember is I had an adjunct
professor that he used to worked for a medical device
company part of Johnson Johnson, and he would bring in
a big box of these medical devices and we have
to grab one and we have to try to figure
out how to draw it, you know, And that was
really interesting to me, and that's why I've went in
the medical device later. So I've been in the medical
(21:46):
device for.
Speaker 20 (21:47):
A long time.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So cool.
Speaker 18 (21:48):
That's kind of really inspirational for me.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
So yeah, really cool it is. Yeah, I lovely specific,
but like yeah, yeah, when like something like a professor does,
it's so tiny and you're like, I think I want
to do this for the rest of my life.
Speaker 18 (22:01):
Yeah, this age is now, Kendall, like that something that
can set you off.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Like yeah, absolutely, you got anything like that, Kendall. You're
still trying to figure it out.
Speaker 15 (22:12):
I just know I really love English.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I worked for my school's newspaper and I've taken a
few AP and Honors English classes, so I know, I'm
really passionate about English and writing.
Speaker 15 (22:22):
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What kind of writing, like creative writing or.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Like writing, And like I'm not exactly sure yet, I'm
not the best at creative writing, but we'll see. I
like more like literature, like reading and interpreting literature and
kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:37):

they're all so cool. There's like I took one on
dystopia that was really cool. Took a Bible as Literature

while ago, and so I'm on open house.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Thank you. Nice. What interested you about the school?

I think that I've heard from a lot of people
that is well rounded. It's a community of like everyone, yeah,
we got options, we got options. Yeah, and I also
have a couple of friends here already. So oh nice cool.
Speaker 1 (24:38):

That old boy. Well we're not known for chemistry, but
still it's a tough one. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, what's what interesting about chemistry? Breaking bad?
Speaker 21 (24:53):
It was right before that I think I got interests
for I think just I think someone came to my
elementary school and did like a bunch of like the
elephant foam toothpaste experiment, and that just got me interested
in it.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
That just hooked you. Yeah, that is so cool. So, Miles,
do you have a fond high school memory that you
were thinking of talking about.
Speaker 21 (25:18):
I think a really fond one I had is our
high school program. They have a like a good band program.
If we paid, like it wasn't a school trip, but
if we paid, our band could go to check you.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh yeah, So it was really cool to.
Speaker 21 (25:38):
Be able to be like in a band playing the
music of this country that we went to. Yeah, and
it was just a really cool experience to be able
to go across continents with my friends.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
That is so cool.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, this is a little embarrassing, but I don't know
where that is. Was it like freezing?
Speaker 21 (25:58):
It actually was rising? How like humid it was during
something like during the couple of the days. Sure, but
mostly it was nice. Yeah, I would say that's good
because we went to Austria.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's in the Balkans, right, yeah, okay, pretty close? Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
While you were there, were you like, because you were
in Europe, were you called like kilometer or anything?
Speaker 21 (26:22):
My band teacher made that joke as soon as we
got off the plane.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Damn, I'm too slow. A few years late. Cool, wonderful.
It's so nice to meet you, Miles. We hope to
see you at cal Poly next year. Whenever people say
that they're thinking of going into the stub major like
prescribed students, I don't know what to say. I don't
(26:46):

a journalism you were a journalism.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Major journalism, major broadcast track.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Okay, yeah, did you have Richard Gearhart as a professor?
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I did, Yes, Awesome.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm still kicking.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Amazing Professor.
Speaker 20 (27:15):
Yes, I have many great memories as with Richard teaching
our class that was part of Mustang News TV doing
the weekly broadcast. So yeah, that's definitely a very fond
chapter of my cow Poly experience.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, do you remember like one of the favorite stories
that you did for broadcast? Yeah?
Speaker 20 (27:34):
I do remember my favorite stories. But I thought you
were going to ask what my favorite like Richard's.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Specific story if story go for it.
Speaker 20 (27:43):
Well, I just remember it was so funny because I
used to be very ambitious when we were like signing
up for who would do what stories each week?
Speaker 8 (27:51):
And so I would sign.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Up for like three different stories like a sign or
we would just like.
Speaker 20 (27:56):
Talk through what the road and then we would So
I was always like pulling all nighters on Thursday nights,
and so then what I would do is I would
pull the all nighter drive back to I used to
live in Mustang Village and change, come back and then
get ready to go on air. And because of that,
like I would always be like short on time and
(28:17):
parking right here in the meter spots. So I kept
getting parking tickets because I would like not pay the
meter and just run up. Because the show is about
to start. So then they started. I realized like, oh,
well they're not actual like city parking tickets. They're just
with the school, so I don't have to pay them.
So they started mounting up, and I like had this
war going with the parking enforcement and so I was like, well,
(28:39):
he can't do anything. Not well, he can't do anything.
So then one day we all walk out and my
car has a giant boot.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
No, but I just have this vivid memory and I
thought it was so funny.
Speaker 20 (28:55):
If Richard just dying of last seeing my car with
the boot on it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I mean, it is pretty fun. It's unexpected. Yeah, consequence
has finally got you.
Speaker 20 (29:06):
Yeah, but that's how dedicated I was to.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, and I'm dedicated to not paying the government exactly.
Speaker 18 (29:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Manifests many different ways. So where did that get you?
What do you do now?
Speaker 20 (29:18):
Oh? Well, hopefully we don't connect these two things of
the parking ticket is sure. But I work in digital insights,
so I do insights and analytics, focusing on like social listening,
social engagement trends, search trends, and analyzing all that, writing
reports for Right now, I'm at Lionscape, but I was
(29:39):
previously at Ralph Lauren. So I've gone around tow different
companies and write out of cal Pol.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
I worked at ESPN as.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
A production assistant. So it's so cool.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
I've been on.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Quite a journey.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, that is amazing. Makes me concerned where I'm headed
and how actually make.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
You feel optimistic. So many opportunities, you know what you see?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
The way I see it is like I I have
to like you know, be able to compete with these things.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, oh, I know that that's the wrong way to
look at it. I'm just saying that the part of
my brain is like, oh, man, I hope I I
do something as cool?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Am I gonna? Can?
Speaker 20 (30:17):
I gave me the opportunities to do so build my foundation,
so right.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, So what does it feel like being back at
cal Poly ten years later?
Speaker 8 (30:27):
It honestly feels like coming home.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Yeah, I felt so.
Speaker 20 (30:30):
I mean, as you guys know from experience, like you
have such a great like relationship with the faculty and
small class sizes and you know everybody. So I was
able ten years later to walk in and like see
my old professors and go into the studio and it
felt like I was just here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's so cool. So yeah, amazing.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
It just happens overnight, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Exactly, and a car boot happens in twenty minutes, yes exactly.
Have you had any major parking fraction since?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
So I'm told that I have like a parking permit
for today.
Speaker 20 (31:05):
So that's true, okay, all right, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
The park the parking attendant wars days are long past.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
I wonder if it's the same guy. I would totally
recognize him.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
He's like you, yeah, he was right, But still I.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Just thought the parking rules didn't apply.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, they're they're guidelines, they're not rules. Yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, wonderful,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That has the same vibes as like saying Geneva convention,
more like Genie Neva's suggestion.
Speaker 20 (31:45):
I will go on record saying that that was not
my favorite college memory.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It's a pretty good one. I mean, you got Richard rolling,
you got a car food just like that itself was
already pretty big, but and I just it.
Speaker 20 (32:00):
Was one of those memories that surfaces when you like
come back and like, oh that happened.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
And then it's like right there there, actually, thank you.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
I have a good day.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
A chatterbox. Chatterbox, Hi I'm Grace. I'm cool. Nice to
meet cool, Nice to meet you. Welcome to chatterbox.
Speaker 20 (32:22):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Are you a perspective couple? I'm wait listed right now. Nice? Okay, yeah,
but I'm really hoping to come. Okay, good. What would
be your major if you came here? A computer science?
A classic? Really cool? Yeah? How is your open house
day been so far?
Speaker 7 (32:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 19 (32:40):
I didn't really tour much of the computer science stuff,
but what I did see it was pretty promising.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's good. That is so cool. When do you find
out if you got off the plaitlist? I think by
like June, mid June or July. That must be stressful. Yeah,
it's kind of scary because you have either schools waiting
on you, I assume, yeah, just like one other school
that Yeah, what school is it?
Speaker 19 (33:06):
It's San Jose State?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (33:08):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I I was hoping you would say cap Poxemona because
that would be like the ultimate, like, you know, that
would be a nice ultimate battle. You get to say
you're being fought over by two different kal polyes. So, uh,
what is your most fond high school memory.
Speaker 19 (33:28):
I've got to say there was this guy like two
years ago we had a promposal challenge. I think it
was one hundred dollars for the best promposal. One guy
dressed up as Spider Man and he climbed onto the
roof of our cafeteria and during our breakfast break, he
(33:51):
had like his sign with him. He was at the
edge of the roof of the cafeteria and he jumped
and is he okay?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
He's fine?
Speaker 19 (33:58):
Surprisingly, he did not break a single bone. And then
he walked up prompost. She said yes, and then he
got banned from.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Prom, so oh damn.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean he hit the high note. Honestly, I think
how did he get banned from prom? Where the two
events related or like?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 19 (34:19):
So I mean honest like, obviously the school doesn't want
to endorse people jumping off of the roof sure definitely.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Goes against some of their rules.
Speaker 19 (34:28):
So I think he's still snuck in though, So good
I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Honestly, Yeah, my boy risked out life and limb over that.
Literally that is crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
And she did say yes, yes, she did, Thank goodness,
I would too. Was it just for or did they
like you know, I take it. I think it was
just for prom? Nice?
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 19 (34:49):
Yeah, oh yeah? During graduation? Uh, when he graduated last year.
He wore a Spider Man suit under his gown.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I thought you're gonna say, he jumped off the roof again,
pretty awesome Spider Man with a little hat.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I feel like if I was the person that he
was asking, even if I didn't want to go to
prom with him, like you gotta say yeah, gotta say yeah,
effort exactly. Yeah, that is so cool. Have you did
you ever do the challenge, the proposal challenge? Just observed?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I feel like the challenge for me would be even
just like you know, getting the courage to do it,
like just saying like, yeah, so you want to go out?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
And I don't know.
Speaker 19 (35:27):
If they ever held it again, it might have been
because of that makes sense. I think the craziest part
was I've seen the video resurface a couple of times
on TikTok. Really there's a video, Yeah, there's a there's
a viral video of it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Oh my goodness, I know what I'm doing after this podcast,
I'm looking for that video. Ours lost in this video?
That is so cool. Well, thank you so much for
telling your story. Thank your see you. Spider Man. Jumping
off the roof is crazy fire story. Really crazy. One
(36:01):
crazy thing that happened at my high school actually that
that reminded me of during one of the uh you know,
like senior prank senior prank things. Yeah, I think it
was my freshman year. The senior prank was that they
bought like two hundred dildos and put them all over
the school.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I remember, I think you talked about this and I
don't know if it was on.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Put it on the roof and stuff, and there was
one singular dillo on the roof that stayed there until
I graduated. It was it was a pretty epic prank.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Were the people who had like bottles flipped the dildos
if they could have it land on the suction cup
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
What a wonderful idea, What a really wonderful idea. I've
just seen it before.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Welcome to chatterby right, you have to impress your mother

Of the best days of that's so lovely simple. I
love when you like choose to ditch a class and
like the guilt. Sometimes the guilt is there, it's like
I should have gone, but sometimes it's like my other days.
Speaker 22 (40:14):

Speaker 2 (00:25):
A fold out sign that asks parents, what is your
fondest college memory?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh yeah, we forgot to say. It is open house weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It is open house weekend, and much like the space
in front of us, it's pretty barren, it's pretty open.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, that's what open houses. Campus right now is flooded
with parents, prospective cow Poly students, transfers, everyone you can imagine,
and we are going to try to talk to some
parents about some crazy stories. Lovely Welcome you guys. I'm Grace,
I'm Satian.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You guys names, I'm Evan Abelson and I'm Liz Abelson
her mom.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Nice to meet you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Nice to meet you guys.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So how's your day going? Open house? Good? It's cold though,
it's so cold? Yeah, okay, good? Yeah, it's unfortunate weekend, yes,
I know, for the open house. And so today we
pose a question mainly to parents, but we'll get to
you as well. Evan, did you go to college? I did? Yeah,
where did you go to college?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I went to cal State Fullerton?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Okay, And what did you major in.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I'm majored in broadcast journalism, which.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Is oh my goodness. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, she had no choice, es just born into.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It practically exactly. Yeah. So what is your favorite college memory?
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Well?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I had to think about it, but I guess my
favorite college memory would be I did my internship on
The Simpsons that animated, and then I met my husband there,
and then we had two beautiful children.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So, well, where's the other one.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
She's twelve, so she's at home with dad.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Got you in school?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, so we traveled here just so she could be here.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That is so cool. Working on the Simpsons. What was
that like?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It was interesting. I've worked I worked on it nineteen years,
so oh wow, it's a long time.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, that's a wild internship to have. I never heard
of a nineteen year long intern.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yes, I did my internship and then they offered me
a job a year later, so yeah, that makes much sense. Yeah, yes,
a very long internship.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Like you said, you met your husband there. What do
you do?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
He was the storyboard artist on the Simpsons. Oh cool,
and then now he uh co directed Minions.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Ooh.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Also so now he's an animation director.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
That is so cool. World truly is not that big.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
No, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Know world time so Evan, Yeah, you're still in high school, yes, seniors. Yeah,
it's wonderful. Any fun high school memories or you haven't
made them yet? Yeah, I mean there's definitely been a few.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
You.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I ran for president last year, oh my goodness for
this year, and there was this big like election fraud
drama because like votes were miscounted and it was there's
this big, like huge fraud. But it ended up making
me and this other girl co presidents, which has been
a really great experience. So even though it wasn't the
(03:22):
outcome that we were all expecting, it was.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So do you have like the title of like madame
president or it's like madame co president?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I mean, whenever I tell people, I'm like, oh, I'm
the co president. But then whenever people refer to us,
they usually just say president. But I felt bad like
just canceling her out, so I usually say co president.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, you're you're a good co president. Then thank you. Yeah, wonderful.
Do you have anything else? To ask.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know, I had something and then I looked to
this direction. I completely forgot.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
It always happens. Okay, thank you so much, you guys
drives where it was nice, wonderful. Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
It's been a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We hope you commit.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah, thank you, I did too.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah. What does it feel like, Sbastian to talk to
high schoolers again? Not that not that different.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I'm only like a few years older than them, that's true,
Like I don't have like supremacy. And besides, I really
enjoyed my time in high school. Like I consider junior
year of pre COVID to beat the best year of
my life.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Academically I was doing really good. Yeah, my friend's circle
was doing great. I was really happy with like everything.
Didn't have to think about college yet or anything, right,
just had to like, you know, keep myself up.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Was pretty great. Yeah. So you know, I don't really
have an issue with it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And I've also like taught kids around high school age
in the past, so it's not a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Really, I'm used to it. That's good. You I think
I get in my head a little bit about it, Honestly,
I think like self conscious in your head or like
ego boosting. No, no, no, neither of those. Just like
thinking that they're such a wildly different generation than me
when they're literally like three years.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Younger, like just in one of my classes, I wouldn't
have thought twice about it exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, like there are I don't think the high schoolers
are that. Yeah, I just get in my head about it,
but they're all really trull Love you guys. Hello, Hello,
welcome to Chatterbox. Thanks, I'm Grace, him Grace, I'm Ella.
I'm Sarah. You guys, this is fashion.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I was focused so funnest college memory you got, you know, I.
Speaker 9 (05:46):
Think just being in the Greek system was really great
for me.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
We had I went to Oregon and we had a big, huge,
like Greek Week thing and we won that and it
was just a really great like feeling of camaraderie and
it was just a fun time, you know, to be
involved in everything and huge.
Speaker 9 (06:02):
Water fights, which I was lame, but it was really fun.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, it's a good memory.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
And do you hope that your daughter also joins Greek life.
Speaker 10 (06:11):
If she wants to.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
I think she's interested.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah. Yeah, thinking about it.
Speaker 11 (06:15):
Yeah, Yeah, I definitely, and I'm gonna rush and I'm like,
I know I want to really join a sorority, but
I'm going to kind of see like during rush week,
you know, and like meet a bunch of people.
Speaker 10 (06:25):
So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
But it's so cool. Yeah, I have no input, I
know Greek life. For me, that's all right. And for you,
what is your fondest high school memory.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
Well, so I go to a Catholic high school and
we do a lot of retreats and I'm not like
super religious, but I'm kind of involved in campus ministry
because I love like leadership, and I've had like a
lot of different classes on retreats that's been really fun,
like getting to know other people and like talking to
them and relating to them. But I think my favorite
was this year. I didn't lead it, but it was
(06:59):
like our higher it's like our senior retreat and like
pretty much the whole class goes, and it's like super
like loved by my whole school, and it's like getting
to know a bunch of people in my Like I
feel like I knew I know a lot of people
in my class, which kind of getting to know more
of them and like relating to them on deeper level.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
It was COVID, so like, gotcha, everyone has like COVID
now story for school and their memories. But that was her,
so she sort of started really didn't start the sophomore
year until she was.
Speaker 9 (07:26):
There, so it was kind of a weird.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, transition, that might be better than ending no senior year.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
I don't know what the best with the best solution
is except not to.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
Do it at all.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm ninety percent sure I failed like half my classes,
and I think the only reason I passed is that
everyone else, like fifty percent at least also did the
same thing, so we all got passed.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh yeah, So what's the number one thing you are
looking forward to if you choose to go to Kapali.
Speaker 10 (07:50):
I already committed, actually started.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You already got the yeah, the like, hey you can
come there. You guys to sell. But I don't know.
Speaker 11 (08:00):
I mean, i'd say maybe joining a sorority, but also
just like getting into a bunch of people being near
the beach. We live in the Bay Area, our beaches
are really cold, so I feel like it'll be fun
to have warm weather all the time and just kind
of like I'm going to be a journalism major, so
it's like joining and like learning more about that.
Speaker 10 (08:17):
I'm really excited.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, awesome, you came to the right place. Yeah. What
entices you with journalism?
Speaker 10 (08:22):
Well, my mom was a journalism major.
Speaker 11 (08:24):
But I've always just been interested in like writing and
stuff like that, and like, I don't know, I love
like podcasts and social media.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
I think it's super interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So, oh, we do have podcasting classes. We do. Yeah,
that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Also, it was so nice to me you guys so much.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Good luck with your dorm situation. By the way, I
was in Yakutu too.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, someone's lucky.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I was a little rat. My roommate was in the
Honors college, so I like off of them. Yeah, it
was great.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, I got Trinity Hall. Yeah, which even out of
the red bricks, it's not the best one.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay. Later recording this, yes, well, hello, the footage after.
Speaker 12 (09:26):
We'll absolutely send you the footage. I'll even make you
a guest account so you can see what it looks
like the vision pro.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
What's your name.
Speaker 13 (09:34):
My name is Kim Bischeff, Kim Bischief.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Nice to meet you, Grace, Hi Grace.
Speaker 13 (09:37):
Nice to meet you.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You see we've met before, me before. For our audio listeners,
Kim right now is wearing Apple Vision poo Rose. How
did you get your little pause on those?
Speaker 12 (09:49):
Well, it's for research, believe it or not. We know
that immersive environment storytelling is an emerging area of media,
and we want our students to be prepared to tell
stories for that immersive world.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Well, I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not
included in that wei because I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
So your cowboy professor, I am journalism professor.
Speaker 13 (10:11):
Yes, I teach media innovation.
Speaker 14 (10:12):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So how are you hoping to use these Apple Vision pros?
How are you innovating?
Speaker 12 (10:16):
Well, I'm hoping to do what I'm doing at this
exact moment, which is making immersive video and taking immersive photographs,
and I'm thinking about how we can incorporate that into
storytelling in the future. That is so and mostly I'm
just walking around looking super cool.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, very cool. Yeah. How is open house going for you?
Speaker 13 (10:36):
So far?
Speaker 12 (10:37):
It's going great. I've just been standing in the hallway
and welcoming people and it's been a lot of fun
to see people discover the journalism apartment for the first time.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Have you been wearing those of the entire time?
Speaker 12 (10:47):
I'm not, okay, it's a little bit off putting.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
No, not at all.
Speaker 15 (10:54):
Yes, talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
If I were visiting student I would I would come
away thinking that's it's a weird class.
Speaker 13 (11:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (11:01):
I don't generally let people know what a huge dork
I am until like at least the second week.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Sure.
Speaker 13 (11:07):
Yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So the question that we're asking everybody today is what
their fondest college memory is. So do you have an answer?
Speaker 12 (11:15):
Oh, my gosh, there's so many that are coming to mind.
I'm trying to think of one. But I worked in
student media when I was in college, and one of
my fondest memories, believe it or not, was during the
La riots when, yeah, I was in the newsroom and
the person who used to take our newspaper that was,
you know, on paper down to the printer to be
(11:36):
distributed to the next day just decided that driving to
East LA while there was a riot going on was
probably not the best move. So I grabbed the boards
with the sports editor, and the two of us drove
downtown and dropped off those boards and it was really
exciting and we actually.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Kissed Love Stories.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
It was a one time only, just like pure emotions
running high event, and we never spoke of it again.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Wow. Was it like not a word about this or
like we don't have to talk about this.
Speaker 12 (12:11):
It was just not mentioned until like twenty years later
when we reconnected on Facebook.
Speaker 13 (12:15):
We both were like, did that really happen? Know, if
that really happened?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Wow, that is amazing. Didn't feel like a movie moment,
Like everything around.
Speaker 13 (12:23):
It totally felt like a movie moment.
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (12:25):
I mean it was really exciting and scary, and you know,
you had the sense that you were just in the
middle of the action. And once we had satisfied on
mission and delivered the paper safely to the printer, it
was this incredible sense of collaborative accomplishment and so we
just you know, celebrated right outside the printing warehouse.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, that is amazing.
Speaker 13 (12:46):
Kiss Just to be clearure.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Awesome. That is like one of the best answers I've
gotten today. That's so cool. Cool. Do you have any
plans for the rest of open house day weekend?
Speaker 13 (12:58):
Not really.
Speaker 12 (12:59):
I think I'll probably just wrap up this video at
some point, I guess I should have asked.
Speaker 13 (13:04):
I'm still learning. But it's okay that I'm recording you.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 13 (13:08):
Yeah, it's a mutual recording happening.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Cool. Thank you so much, Kim yea bye. Would you
ever consider buying the Apple Vision prison?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Well, I actually despise Apple, like I hate the company God,
So we can get into that later if you want.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
But I do not like Apple passionate.
Speaker 16 (13:36):
So I'm going to tell you a little bit about
one of my fondest memories of college. I'm saying this
because if I could go back to my eighteen year
old self, I would tell myself to savor this and
do more of it. So I actually had the opportunity.
One day at school. There were two speakers that were
coming on and one of them these are both political figures,
(13:56):
but from a while back. One of them was Jesse Jackson,
and he came and spoke, and then later that night
was a former Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan, Alexander Haig,
and they couldn't be more different. And to see the
audiences but they were talking about similar topics, and to
see them talk and talk about engagement with society and
(14:20):
their different points of view, and to have it in
the same day on the same campus showed kind of
a juxtaposition of difference of opinions but also different ways of.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Looking at things.
Speaker 16 (14:30):
And I think that's exactly what college is about, is
exploring all these different ideas and then figuring out what fit.
And after that, I definitely felt an affinity for one
more than the other, but I understood where the other
one was coming from, which allowed me to choose the
one that I felt more.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Of an affinity for. And I did it by accident.
Speaker 16 (14:48):
And so I would just say speakers or like opportunities
that come up on campus, to take advantage of those,
because you never know.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Right absolutely, what was your major in.
Speaker 16 (14:57):
I was an English literature major. Oh yeah, even I
wasn't politics or anything but reading about other people's stories.
And these people, those speakers were essentially telling their stories.
And I notice here in your journalism program, storytelling is
you know what this is about, and it's really what
people get engaged with. So it's it's a skill that
(15:20):
will never go out of style.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Our teachers always make sure we know that it's not
about like a thing happening, it's about the people that
this thing affected, right, so.
Speaker 16 (15:30):
Completely, Yeah, that's what people want to stay tuned in
for too.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
By the way, was it like, were they in the
room at the same time, like a debate or was
it like.
Speaker 16 (15:38):
No, No, it was separate. They just happened to be
scheduled on the same day. One was in the morning
and one was in the evening on the campus same day.
I don't even know if they saw each other. They
probably weren't even on campus at the same time. Well, yeah,
but it's so cool, yea.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We invite political figures and then we get riots. Yeah,
and what about you?
Speaker 17 (15:59):
Okay, I don't know how to top that, Charlotte, my
fondest high school memory. I don't know if you're gonna
like me saying that, but was probably honest convincing my
wonderful parents to host the homecoming after party at our house?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Is the house? Okay?
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Say there was not a part two. We did it once.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Yeah, So why was it your favorite? Why was that
your one of your favorite memories? I don't know.
Speaker 17 (16:35):
Something about walking around my house with like one hundred
people in there and then also looking up and seeing
my dad like sweating and walking is kind of thrilling. Yeah,
I definitely don't want.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
To do that again. Yeah, expressing your parents thrilling.
Speaker 15 (16:50):
Yeah, must be rough, like to see a sweat a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What was your favorite thing about the party, favorite thing
that happened.
Speaker 16 (16:59):
I'm going to talk about the video that you took
and spread around school without me knowing.
Speaker 17 (17:03):
Oh yeah, well okay, So my family and I we
have like a you know, Marco Polo. It's like basically
like a video, like you send a video in your
whole like group.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Whoever's in that Marco Polo can see it, so it's
an appy. So my mom.
Speaker 17 (17:17):
Decided to take a video of the party to show
because we have a family Marco Polo. So she went
around and like filmed every like we're hosting a party
right now. And then what happened, like right is you
were walking upstairs.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Yeah, so I was doing it.
Speaker 16 (17:32):
And it was just for the family more to say,
we didn't know what we were getting into.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
We will never do this again.
Speaker 16 (17:38):
And right at the moment that I took the video,
all the students started chanting they're against their rival high
school f and then they put the name of the
high school, Eliso, and it happened to be the acronym
for this, and.
Speaker 17 (17:52):
I thought that was a little video, so I saved
it and I sent it to some of my friends
and she wasn't And.
Speaker 16 (17:58):
When viral around high school with the parents, oh no, yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
I learned. I learned the danger of social media.
Speaker 17 (18:06):
And then when she got she wasn't really happy with
me when she got a text of the video from
one of her friends, like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
This looks so fun.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Yeah, I was like, how did that get out?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
My friend? It broke containment.
Speaker 6 (18:20):
They're like, oh, you're the cool parents. I said, no,
I don't. I don't know that I want them. It
broke containment.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Cool parents that will never do it again exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I mean, at least you have the experience. You know
that you've had enough, that's right, so.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
You're not going to do it for prom I mean,
we'll see.
Speaker 6 (18:34):

family in my school. Who were you playing? Oh, just
like one of the ensemble. And it was crazy because
there were people there smoking weed as crazy as wild.
I did not, but there were like not for taking
(19:28):
the weed. I did not, but there were one or
two people, and I was like freaking out because I
did not want the smell to like go in my
clothes or anything, because I didn't want to be falsely convicted.
I was just over.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Thinking of high school. You seemed a little dramatic, very dramatic.

So was your fondest memory from universities?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Yeah, I try to think.
Speaker 18 (20:46):
I went to design school there, so it doesn't design
and just remember being in my studios and a lot
of talk around here about learned by doing something that
we definitely did in design studio. Course was just I
mean you were going, you know, designing things, building things.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
So yeah, is your wrist okay, what are your risks? Okay,

on anyway. So it's worked.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, what was your favorite project that you did in
design school?
Speaker 18 (21:25):
Well, one thing I remember is I had an adjunct
professor that he used to worked for a medical device
company part of Johnson Johnson, and he would bring in
a big box of these medical devices and we have
to grab one and we have to try to figure
out how to draw it, you know, And that was
really interesting to me, and that's why I've went in
the medical device later. So I've been in the medical
(21:46):
device for.
Speaker 20 (21:47):
A long time.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So cool.
Speaker 18 (21:48):
That's kind of really inspirational for me.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
So yeah, really cool it is. Yeah, I lovely specific,
but like yeah, yeah, when like something like a professor does,
it's so tiny and you're like, I think I want
to do this for the rest of my life.
Speaker 18 (22:01):
Yeah, this age is now, Kendall, like that something that
can set you off.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Like yeah, absolutely, you got anything like that, Kendall. You're
still trying to figure it out.
Speaker 15 (22:12):
I just know I really love English.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I worked for my school's newspaper and I've taken a
few AP and Honors English classes, so I know, I'm
really passionate about English and writing.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What kind of writing, like creative writing or.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Like writing, And like I'm not exactly sure yet, I'm

like more like literature, like reading and interpreting literature and
kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:37):

while ago, and so I'm on open house.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Thank you. Nice. What interested you about the school?

I think that I've heard from a lot of people
that is well rounded. It's a community of like everyone, yeah,
we got options, we got options. Yeah, and I also
have a couple of friends here already. So oh nice cool.
Speaker 1 (24:38):

That old boy. Well we're not known for chemistry, but
still it's a tough one. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, what's what interesting about chemistry? Breaking bad?
Speaker 21 (24:53):
It was right before that I think I got interests
for I think just I think someone came to my
elementary school and did like a bunch of like the
elephant foam toothpaste experiment, and that just got me interested
in it.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
That just hooked you. Yeah, that is so cool. So, Miles,
do you have a fond high school memory that you
were thinking of talking about.
Speaker 21 (25:18):
I think a really fond one I had is our
high school program. They have a like a good band program.
If we paid, like it wasn't a school trip, but
if we paid, our band could go to check you.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh yeah, So it was really cool to.
Speaker 21 (25:38):
Be able to be like in a band playing the
music of this country that we went to. Yeah, and
it was just a really cool experience to be able
to go across continents with my friends.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
That is so cool.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, this is a little embarrassing, but I don't know
where that is. Was it like freezing?
Speaker 21 (25:58):
It actually was rising? How like humid it was during
something like during the couple of the days. Sure, but
mostly it was nice. Yeah, I would say that's good
because we went to Austria.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It's in the Balkans, right, yeah, okay, pretty close? Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
While you were there, were you like, because you were
in Europe, were you called like kilometer or anything?
Speaker 21 (26:22):
My band teacher made that joke as soon as we
got off the plane.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Damn, I'm too slow. A few years late. Cool, wonderful.
It's so nice to meet you, Miles. We hope to
see you at cal Poly next year. Whenever people say
that they're thinking of going into the stub major like
prescribed students, I don't know what to say. I don't
(26:46):

a journalism you were a journalism.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Major journalism, major broadcast track.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Okay, yeah, did you have Richard Gearhart as a professor?
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I did, Yes, Awesome.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm still kicking.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Amazing Professor.
Speaker 20 (27:15):
Yes, I have many great memories as with Richard teaching
our class that was part of Mustang News TV doing
the weekly broadcast. So yeah, that's definitely a very fond
chapter of my cow Poly experience.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah, do you remember like one of the favorite stories
that you did for broadcast? Yeah?
Speaker 20 (27:34):
I do remember my favorite stories. But I thought you
were going to ask what my favorite like Richard's.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Specific story if story go for it.
Speaker 20 (27:43):
Well, I just remember it was so funny because I
used to be very ambitious when we were like signing
up for who would do what stories each week?
Speaker 8 (27:51):
And so I would sign.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Up for like three different stories like a sign or
we would just like.
Speaker 20 (27:56):
Talk through what the road and then we would So
I was always like pulling all nighters on Thursday nights,
and so then what I would do is I would
pull the all nighter drive back to I used to
live in Mustang Village and change, come back and then
get ready to go on air. And because of that,
like I would always be like short on time and
(28:17):
parking right here in the meter spots. So I kept
getting parking tickets because I would like not pay the
meter and just run up. Because the show is about
to start. So then they started. I realized like, oh,
well they're not actual like city parking tickets. They're just
with the school, so I don't have to pay them.
So they started mounting up, and I like had this
war going with the parking enforcement and so I was like, well,
(28:39):
he can't do anything. Not well, he can't do anything.
So then one day we all walk out and my
car has a giant boot.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
No, but I just have this vivid memory and I
thought it was so funny.
Speaker 20 (28:55):
If Richard just dying of last seeing my car with
the boot on it.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I mean, it is pretty fun. It's unexpected. Yeah, consequence
has finally got you.
Speaker 20 (29:06):
Yeah, but that's how dedicated I was to.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, and I'm dedicated to not paying the government exactly.
Speaker 18 (29:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Manifests many different ways. So where did that get you?
What do you do now?
Speaker 20 (29:18):
Oh? Well, hopefully we don't connect these two things of
the parking ticket is sure. But I work in digital insights,
so I do insights and analytics, focusing on like social listening,
social engagement trends, search trends, and analyzing all that, writing
reports for Right now, I'm at Lionscape, but I was
(29:39):
previously at Ralph Lauren. So I've gone around tow different
companies and write out of cal Pol.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
I worked at ESPN as.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
A production assistant. So it's so cool.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
I've been on.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
Quite a journey.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, that is amazing. Makes me concerned where I'm headed
and how actually make.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
You feel optimistic. So many opportunities, you know what you see?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
The way I see it is like I I have
to like you know, be able to compete with these things.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, oh, I know that that's the wrong way to
look at it. I'm just saying that the part of
my brain is like, oh, man, I hope I I
do something as cool?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Am I gonna? Can?
Speaker 20 (30:17):
I gave me the opportunities to do so build my foundation,
so right.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, So what does it feel like being back at
cal Poly ten years later?
Speaker 8 (30:27):
It honestly feels like coming home.
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Yeah, I felt so.
Speaker 20 (30:30):
I mean, as you guys know from experience, like you
have such a great like relationship with the faculty and
small class sizes and you know everybody. So I was
able ten years later to walk in and like see
my old professors and go into the studio and it
felt like I was just here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's so cool. So yeah, amazing.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
It just happens overnight, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Exactly, and a car boot happens in twenty minutes, yes exactly.
Have you had any major parking fraction since?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
So I'm told that I have like a parking permit
for today.
Speaker 20 (31:05):
So that's true, okay, all right, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
The park the parking attendant wars days are long past.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
I wonder if it's the same guy. I would totally
recognize him.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
He's like you, yeah, he was right, But still I.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Just thought the parking rules didn't apply.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, they're they're guidelines, they're not rules. Yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, wonderful,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That has the same vibes as like saying Geneva convention,
more like Genie Neva's suggestion.
Speaker 20 (31:45):
I will go on record saying that that was not
my favorite college memory.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It's a pretty good one. I mean, you got Richard rolling,
you got a car food just like that itself was
already pretty big, but and I just it.
Speaker 20 (32:00):
Was one of those memories that surfaces when you like
come back and like, oh that happened.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
And then it's like right there there, actually, thank you.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
I have a good day.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
A chatterbox. Chatterbox, Hi I'm Grace. I'm cool. Nice to
meet cool, Nice to meet you. Welcome to chatterbox.
Speaker 20 (32:22):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Are you a perspective couple? I'm wait listed right now. Nice? Okay, yeah,
but I'm really hoping to come. Okay, good. What would
be your major if you came here? A computer science?
A classic? Really cool? Yeah? How is your open house
day been so far?
Speaker 7 (32:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:39):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 19 (32:40):
I didn't really tour much of the computer science stuff,
but what I did see it was pretty promising.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's good. That is so cool. When do you find
out if you got off the plaitlist? I think by
like June, mid June or July. That must be stressful. Yeah,
it's kind of scary because you have either schools waiting
on you, I assume, yeah, just like one other school
that Yeah, what school is it?
Speaker 19 (33:06):
It's San Jose State?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (33:08):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I I was hoping you would say cap Poxemona because
that would be like the ultimate, like, you know, that
would be a nice ultimate battle. You get to say
you're being fought over by two different kal polyes. So, uh,
what is your most fond high school memory.
Speaker 19 (33:28):
I've got to say there was this guy like two
years ago we had a promposal challenge. I think it
was one hundred dollars for the best promposal. One guy
dressed up as Spider Man and he climbed onto the
roof of our cafeteria and during our breakfast break, he
(33:51):
had like his sign with him. He was at the
edge of the roof of the cafeteria and he jumped
and is he okay?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
He's fine?
Speaker 19 (33:58):
Surprisingly, he did not break a single bone. And then
he walked up prompost. She said yes, and then he
got banned from.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Prom, so oh damn.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean he hit the high note. Honestly, I think
how did he get banned from prom? Where the two
events related or like?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 19 (34:19):
So I mean honest like, obviously the school doesn't want
to endorse people jumping off of the roof sure definitely.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Goes against some of their rules.
Speaker 19 (34:28):
So I think he's still snuck in though, So good
I mean.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Honestly, Yeah, my boy risked out life and limb over that.
Literally that is crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
And she did say yes, yes, she did, Thank goodness,
I would too. Was it just for or did they
like you know, I take it. I think it was
just for prom? Nice?
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 19 (34:49):
Yeah, oh yeah? During graduation? Uh, when he graduated last year.
He wore a Spider Man suit under his gown.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I thought you're gonna say, he jumped off the roof again,
pretty awesome Spider Man with a little hat.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I feel like if I was the person that he
was asking, even if I didn't want to go to
prom with him, like you gotta say yeah, gotta say yeah,
effort exactly. Yeah, that is so cool. Have you did
you ever do the challenge, the proposal challenge? Just observed?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I feel like the challenge for me would be even
just like you know, getting the courage to do it,
like just saying like, yeah, so you want to go out?
Speaker 1 (35:26):
And I don't know.
Speaker 19 (35:27):
If they ever held it again, it might have been
because of that makes sense. I think the craziest part
was I've seen the video resurface a couple of times
on TikTok. Really there's a video, Yeah, there's a there's
a viral video of it.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Oh my goodness, I know what I'm doing after this podcast,
I'm looking for that video. Ours lost in this video?
That is so cool. Well, thank you so much for
telling your story. Thank your see you. Spider Man. Jumping
off the roof is crazy fire story. Really crazy. One
(36:01):
crazy thing that happened at my high school actually that
that reminded me of during one of the uh you know,
like senior prank senior prank things. Yeah, I think it
was my freshman year. The senior prank was that they
bought like two hundred dildos and put them all over
the school.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I remember, I think you talked about this and I
don't know if it was on.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Put it on the roof and stuff, and there was
one singular dillo on the roof that stayed there until
I graduated. It was it was a pretty epic prank.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Were the people who had like bottles flipped the dildos
if they could have it land on the suction cup
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
What a wonderful idea, What a really wonderful idea. I've
just seen it before.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Welcome to chatterby right, you have to impress your mother
or I'm sorry, okay, sorry, I.
