It feels like we have accidentally come across a secret
code that we all just know, and they.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Just The crazy part is is if like I, like,
if someone like had a gut into my head, I

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yes, oh, thank you, thank you?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yeah, I love that wor yeah that's a good yeah, Carter.
I was trying to figure out why I know that.
I was like, for some reason the band being gone.
I was like, I don't know Dave Matthew lyrics. Okay,
is this from I'll.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Give you one hit? The first word is funny an it's.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
So complicated for no reason. Astra complicated funny the way
it is if you think about it, one bid, one bid,
it's not bid one lid, lid.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Where are you staring at me?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
You're looking for a yes, I am see When I
first started this one did you looked at me with skepticism, thinking, really,
I'm gonna read wine letter quote for a whole podcast exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I know what I'm doing. This is I knew this
was gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
The miles to school and the athletes.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Chopping out, right, the athletes chopping out. When Dave Matthews.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Said dropping athletes chopping.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I was like.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Dropping. It says dropping. That's the thing. I think that's
what an R is, and I'm thinking that's a d
pp I n G. It is dropping out.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You're deciphering your code here, and when you figure it out,
it's going to be impact.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The way it is if you think about it. One
lid one what the hell? What?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Sometimes lis just be doing stuff?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
One one did walks the miles to school? One what
word would be there?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
One kid? Mmm?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
How is that a K? That's okay, it's no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's not a K.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's a K.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I promise you it's a k.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
It's the same scribble.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And think there you go, all right cracking codes?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Man. One kid walks the miles to school. It's the
same scribble that's on over here. It's not the the
how is that not the but the other one is
the funny the way that that the looks the same
as this the it's a te okay, one kid walks
(10:19):
ten uh. Funny the way it is if you think
about it, one kid walks ten miles to school and
the oh and the others dropping out? Oh yeah, what
about it?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Think about that quote? Now read it now that you
know it.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Funny the way that it is if you think about it,
one kid walks the miles to school, not the oh shit,
one kid walks ten miles to school and the others
dropping out.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, there's some kids that literally walk ten miles
to school. Yes, all the other kids just take it
for granted and drop out.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yep. Pretty impactful stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Pretty impactful. It took way too long to get to
that sentence. It was literally a sentence. It was a
sentence that was it. Why did Why did Why did that?
Here's my question to your generation. Why did they just
or the ones before and yours, Why did they just
be like yep, gurs and then take it away. If
you're gonna start teaching it, why not teach it throughout
(11:25):
so that we're at least there's enough languages, there's enough
enough theirs that we have to differ between and figure out. Right. Okay,
so if you're gonna teach something, why not be consistent
with it?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, because we weren't taught cursive to be able to
read it.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We were taught cursive.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Because we wrote it, and so what like, we were
taught to communicate that way, and what we started.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
When you realize it, like when you were, like when
you're a four learn second grade.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
In second grade, they start teaching cursive. They taught us
cursive in second grade.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I remember writing one paragraph in cursive in like second grade.
That was it.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Oh, I didn't know that you did that. I did.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
It was one paragraph and we got to I don't
think I got an a on it. I totally messed it up.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You just thought cursive was connecting a bunch of print
letters everything.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I thought everything was connected, just.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The whole sentence, sloops everything. I just put all right,
once this pencil goes down, it ain't coming up till
the end of this essay. You're like, yeah, So so
they started to realize that people just didn't use it anymore.
They were mostly typing or typing on phones and emailing,
(12:42):
and it's like why are we spending so much time
teaching kids to write in a way that no one
uses anymore? So it was kind of seen as a
waste of time. So yeah, I think that they will
always probably teach it in some level at higher levels,
like probably high school or college, almost like an ancient manuscript.
Like you can learn Latin. You might be able to
go learn cursive and take special courses for.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
It, but we just don't use it anymore. Graffiti, no.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Calligraphy, calligraphy kind of like that.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You could learn a certain way to write it, but
it's still English. Yeah, yeah, people, we just don't use it.
If you think about it, everything's typed and printed, so you've.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Written how you've written forever, and that's basically cursive.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I don't hardly write cursive at all, but I will
say sometimes there are like like I'll be printing, but
I will randomly do like two letters in cursive because
they're just easier. So like if I write the word other,
I'll go like O th h incursive and then write
a print er. Like you know, my handwriting is kind
(13:47):
of a combination of like print and cursive.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's funny. I think I did the opposite when I
was trying to write in cursive. I would do what
I could and then write the others.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
As a matter of.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Fact, I remember getting a question wrong on a test
in school. They wouldn't allow you to use the word
right when you were printing something. Right was exclusively for cursive.
So you'd say, write that down. That meant you were
writing it incursive. That's what handwriting is. If you were
(14:19):
just printing something, it was called printing, not writing.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
What.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, that at least I was. I'm curious to know
if the viewers out there were taught.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
That way you were writing, it was considered cursive. And
then if you were like writing letters and picking up
your pen, that was like a printer's job. You were printing, well, because.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It's print your your print. Yeah, you're printing the words
instead of writing the words. Man, we don't, of course,
we don't talk about it like that.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I write on my keyboard when I'm writing a screenplay
or a script, but.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
It's Lingo's very different now.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeahah, And just in my lifetime it's changed, which is
my lifetime has been very very short because I am
so young. Just imagining me yeah in the nineties makes
you sleepy.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I'm so sleepy right now.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You did a pretty good job. You did a pretty
good job. You eventually cracked it, Yeah, with some help.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I mean, it's cool, it looks cool. I wish I
could just like you, know, but I also don't. Really
can't justified learning it like sitting down and learn it like.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I could teach you. We could spend some time.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Okay, there's that gen Z spirit.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I'd rather be doing something else.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
All right, let's wrap it up, grab it up, wrap
it up. Food food food. It's lunchtime.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I'm hungry.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Chopping out, right, the athletes chopping out. When Dave Matthews.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Said dropping athletes chopping.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I was like.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Dropping. It says dropping. That's the thing. I think that's
what an R is, and I'm thinking that's a d
pp I n G. It is dropping out.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You're deciphering your code here, and when you figure it out,
it's going to be impact.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
The way it is if you think about it. One
lid one what the hell? What?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Sometimes lis just be doing stuff?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
One one did walks the miles to school? One what
word would be there?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
One kid? Mmm?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
How is that a K? That's okay, it's no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's not a K.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's a K.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I promise you it's a k.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
It's the same scribble.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
And think there you go, all right cracking codes?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Man. One kid walks the miles to school. It's the
same scribble that's on over here. It's not the the
how is that not the but the other one is
the funny the way that that the looks the same
as this the it's a te okay, one kid walks
(10:19):
ten uh. Funny the way it is if you think
about it, one kid walks ten miles to school and
the oh and the others dropping out? Oh yeah, what
about it?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Think about that quote? Now read it now that you
know it.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Funny the way that it is if you think about it,
one kid walks the miles to school, not the oh shit,
one kid walks ten miles to school and the others
dropping out.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, there's some kids that literally walk ten miles
to school. Yes, all the other kids just take it
for granted and drop out.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yep. Pretty impactful stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Pretty impactful. It took way too long to get to
that sentence. It was literally a sentence. It was a
sentence that was it. Why did Why did Why did that?
Here's my question to your generation. Why did they just
or the ones before and yours, Why did they just
be like yep, gurs and then take it away. If
you're gonna start teaching it, why not teach it throughout
(11:25):
so that we're at least there's enough languages, there's enough
enough theirs that we have to differ between and figure out. Right. Okay,
so if you're gonna teach something, why not be consistent
with it?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, because we weren't taught cursive to be able to
read it.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
We were taught cursive.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Because we wrote it, and so what like, we were
taught to communicate that way, and what we started.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
When you realize it, like when you were, like when
you're a four learn second grade.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
In second grade, they start teaching cursive. They taught us
cursive in second grade.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I remember writing one paragraph in cursive in like second grade.
That was it.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Oh, I didn't know that you did that. I did.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
It was one paragraph and we got to I don't
think I got an a on it. I totally messed it up.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You just thought cursive was connecting a bunch of print
letters everything.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I thought everything was connected, just.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The whole sentence, sloops everything. I just put all right,
once this pencil goes down, it ain't coming up till
the end of this essay. You're like, yeah, So so
they started to realize that people just didn't use it anymore.
They were mostly typing or typing on phones and emailing,
(12:42):
and it's like why are we spending so much time
teaching kids to write in a way that no one
uses anymore? So it was kind of seen as a
waste of time. So yeah, I think that they will
always probably teach it in some level at higher levels,
like probably high school or college, almost like an ancient manuscript.
Like you can learn Latin. You might be able to
go learn cursive and take special courses for.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
It, but we just don't use it anymore. Graffiti, no.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Calligraphy, calligraphy kind of like that.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You could learn a certain way to write it, but
it's still English. Yeah, yeah, people, we just don't use it.
If you think about it, everything's typed and printed, so you've.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Written how you've written forever, and that's basically cursive.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I don't hardly write cursive at all, but I will
say sometimes there are like like I'll be printing, but
I will randomly do like two letters in cursive because
they're just easier. So like if I write the word other,
I'll go like O th h incursive and then write
a print er. Like you know, my handwriting is kind
(13:47):
of a combination of like print and cursive.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's funny. I think I did the opposite when I
was trying to write in cursive. I would do what
I could and then write the others.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
As a matter of.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Fact, I remember getting a question wrong on a test
in school. They wouldn't allow you to use the word
right when you were printing something. Right was exclusively for cursive.
So you'd say, write that down. That meant you were
writing it incursive. That's what handwriting is. If you were
(14:19):
just printing something, it was called printing, not writing.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
What.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Yeah, that at least I was. I'm curious to know
if the viewers out there were taught.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
That way you were writing, it was considered cursive. And
then if you were like writing letters and picking up
your pen, that was like a printer's job. You were printing, well, because.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
It's print your your print. Yeah, you're printing the words
instead of writing the words. Man, we don't, of course,
we don't talk about it like that.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Now.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I write on my keyboard when I'm writing a screenplay
or a script, but.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
It's Lingo's very different now.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeahah, And just in my lifetime it's changed, which is
my lifetime has been very very short because I am
so young. Just imagining me yeah in the nineties makes
you sleepy.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
I'm so sleepy right now.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You did a pretty good job. You did a pretty
good job. You eventually cracked it, Yeah, with some help.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I mean, it's cool, it looks cool. I wish I
could just like you, know, but I also don't. Really
can't justified learning it like sitting down and learn it like.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I could teach you. We could spend some time.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah, I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Okay, there's that gen Z spirit.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I'd rather be doing something else.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
All right, let's wrap it up, grab it up, wrap
it up. Food food food. It's lunchtime.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
I'm hungry.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Okay, the podcast has ended.
