11.7: Friday's Heroes, Flights Cut Due to the Shutdown, and Embarrassing Things from High School

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back our number two your Friday broadcast. Here it's
gonna rain like heck here in a couple of hours.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey, it's gonna rain cats and dogs. Don't step into poodles.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
That was in such a good mood too.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Don't step into poodles.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, we get it. Thank you, Hey scruffy, thank you.
All right, we missed Wednesday's Hero obviously covering the tragic
events out at the airport, and we felt with the
Veterans Day Parade happening Veterans Parade. I'm sorry this weekend
we probably should do a Wednesday's Hero. So here is
a collection of stories. Bear with me. Look, my philosophy is,

(00:38):
you know, if you're going to talk about something for
seven minutes, it's got to be worth it. This is
definitely worth your seven minutes. So don't get out of the car.
If you're doing some work, just keep the headphones in
and stop what you're doing and listen to these stories.
It involves also a movie star named Rob Riggle. He
was in the Marines for twenty five years before he

(00:59):
got out. And you know what, I'm going to go
into comedy and he talks about how the Marines gave
him the confidence to not care what other people think,
and he can do things.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I believe he's from Kentucky to do, isn't he Rob
Riggles from Kentucky thinks? So let me verify that.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Okay, not important, but also a couple of World War
Two stories and a Vietnam nurse story. So let's let's
go ahead and roll Wednesday's hero.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
On a Friday, My rangers were very curious, man. They
couldn't look at anything without wondering what it is, what
does it do? And they said, hey, Cap, and I said,
what do you want? He said, who's that guy down
there on the beach? And I looked down the beach
and here was a little old fat man. He was
at the very far edge of the beach, I mean

(01:40):
where the dunes began. I said, I don't know. He's
either a crazy reporter who doesn't know what he's doing,
or he's a high ranking officer who does know what
he's doing. Because he was ges circulating to the troops
and waving at him and shaking his fist. He had
a cigar in his mouth which occasionally it was not lit,
which occasionally he would wave and things like that. I said,

(02:02):
I'd better get down there and find out which do
I follow. Plan A, tackle him and turn him over
to the medics, or Plan B salute him and report Well.
He came around the end of the breakwaters and I
looked and there was a little tiny silver star on
his collar, and I said, whoops.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Plan D.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
So I went up to him, and people criticized me
for it. I did a snappy hand salute, which he returned,
and I said, Sir, Captain Ron, fifth Ranger, Infantry Battalion,
We've just landed on this beach. And he looked at me.
He said Ron, and I said, yes, General Ron. And
he said you're not Jack Ron's son, are you? And

(02:44):
I said, yes, I am jack ron Son. He said, well,
welcome to Omaha Beach.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Coming ashore. The navy pilot let us help too far.
We were getting a lot of hits, and we were
under terrific small arms fire, and those big guns fourteen
inch eight inch we're shooting over our heads. We were
walking through a mine field. Over one million mines were

(03:10):
planted under our feet. I'm sitting here in the last
So when they dropped the front end of that boat
and dropped us off into that water. Water was up
to our chins. We were holding the rifles over our
heads and we followed in the line. And I mean
we stepped where the person in front of us stepped,

(03:32):
because if you stepped on one of those mines, there
was a spurt of water come up. That meant somebody
stepped on the mine coming ashoreder.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
No, it's a few patients when you hear two.

Speaker 7 (03:43):
I had left my unit and gone back to bed
when I heard a gaggle of helicopters coming in. And
when you hear one helicopter, it's not so bad. It's
a few patients when you hear two. Okay, there's two
choppers coming in.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
What is this? The choppers did not stop coming. The
phone rang.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Report towards and it was the empty ward that was
just kind of kept empty as a spare for mass casualties.
And the supervisor said, go open up the ward, and
I said, well, what's coming? She said, I don't know,
just go open it up. I'll send you a medic.
I got dressed, put my combat boots on. I grabbed
mahimastat my bandooge scissor, which hangs in my jungle fatigue jacket.

(04:20):
I've got the tools of my trade, the stethoscope around
my neck, and my helmet is now the air raid
is siren is also it's a red alert. So now
we're getting incoming. I run to this unit and the
medic is there, and he said, how many are we getting?
I said, I have no idea. Let's just start hanging
ivy bottles. So we put up IV bottles. We we

(04:42):
got the beds ready, and one by one, by one
by one, they came in. Twenty seven men had been
admitted in my unit that night, and I had one
medic and it was dark. The lights were out because
they had to be out at night for protection. We
had a flashlight. I called them boys. They were so young.
I started with the first boy, and I could determine

(05:04):
as these guys were coming in.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
I didn't see any I didn't see any injuries. I
didn't see any.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Wounded BESI what are with these guys? I don't see
any injuries. Nobody's bleeding. But his veins were so collapsed
and his skin was so dry and dirty that I
could hardly find a vein because of collapse veins, which
told me one, he's dehydrated. He's been out there for days.
How long has he been out there? He hasn't had
anything to eat or drink. He's in shock, and he
has a little barely audible pulse. Respirations are depressed. This

(05:32):
kid is going to die if we don't get some
fluids into him. So I d I tell the medic
just stand there and hold that flashlight til I get that,
and I got the IVY started. I started twenty seven
ivs that night on all those boys, and that was
the first thing I had to do. I couldn't do
anything else but just get ivy started. And every one
of these young men were the same, and they smelled bad.

(05:54):
There was vomit, there was jungle rod, and they were
barely talking cause they were all not only they were
they in the in a state of physical shock from
lack of hydration. I could see they were in an
emotional state of shock. And I remember the chaos when
they started coming in. And then the s medic said

(06:14):
to me as we were finishing up, he said, Lieutenant,
did you ever notice that when American nurses are on
the ward that the guys calmed down? And I just
looked at him and I said no, and he said, no,
it's true, having you women here, having you nurses here.
You don't know what that means to these patients, To
these guys, the patients did feel uh a sense of

(06:37):
home or security. We It's like we women, we nurses,
We were young ourselves, but we became their mothers, their sisters.
They felt some sort of safety or security having us
there with them. The nurses took care of the men first.
We women were protecting the men. We weren't wilting violets,
like running.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Away to protect ourselves like.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
Some people liked to think about, Oh, women can't be
in combat, the men would just be there to protect them. Well,
we women were in Vietnam to protect the men. We
were there to save their lives, and we would have
given our life for them. And we were the last
ones to go to the bunker. We were the last
ones to crawl under the bed and take care of ourselves.
Our patients came first.

Speaker 8 (07:17):
And when I went into the Marines, you know, I
was a fairly confident young man. Obviously, I was commid
enough to go on the Marines and give it a shot.
And I had my pilot's license, I graduated college. I
could do things. I wasn't incapable of doing things, but
I just didn't, I don't know, believe in myself enough.
And when I got to the Marines and I went
through Officer Cana School, and I went through the Basic school,
and I went through all these things, I realized I

(07:38):
could do whatever I set my mind to. Whatever my
perceived limits were, those weren't my limits. You know, if
I thought, oh God, the most I could run is
fifteen miles or ten miles, that's not true. You just
don't know until you have someone's pushed you. And so
I always had these perceived limits, and the Marine Corps
blew the lid off those. So whatever I thought I was, well,

(07:59):
I was so much more. And when I realized that,
I started to believe in myself and I started to
bet on myself, and I started to saying, you know what,
if I can do that, I can do this, and
if I can do this, I can definitely do that.

Speaker 9 (08:10):
Right.

Speaker 8 (08:11):
So I realized recently it was the Marine Corps that
gave me the confidence to bet on myself, and that
was what allowed me to go, I'm going to try
this life in the arts. I'm going to try this
thing that when I tell people, Hey, I'm going to
go be an actor comedian and they all roll their eyes. Okay,
I don't need their approval. I don't need them to
like it or not like it. That's what I'm doing,
and it was good. It was good to bet on yourself.

(08:32):
It was good to believe in yourself. But that came
from the confidence I gained in the Marine Corps.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I stand corrected or not corrected, but informed. Rob Wringle
Wriggle that you just heard. It's been in all the movies.
He was in Step Brothers, he was in the twelve Strong.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
He was always real big with the NFL for years.
When I watched too, is he still with that pregame show?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know, I don't think he did that.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah he did in Caliando when they cut okay, yeah,
So I was like, well, what they're gonna do about Caliendo?
Is this Wriggle guy that's what's hitting eight nine years?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Tell me what you told me?

Speaker 2 (09:08):
He's from Louisville, Kentucky. Yeah. I did not know that
ether well my wife. My wife told me a few
years back. I didn't either, and then Susan we were
sitting around. She goes, yeah, you know, he's from Louisville, right.

Speaker 10 (09:20):
I'm like, not, did he go to high school anywhere here?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
He left in nineteen ninety. Guy's fifty five years old.
Nineteen ninety he left Louislle for the Marines.

Speaker 10 (09:28):
Okay. I went to high school in Overland Park, Kansas.
So he wasn't around here.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Okay, but he's from Louisville. That's great, Yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
All right?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Those stories, just a couple of them. The first one,
of course, when he sees this guy barking at people
on Omaha Beach and he goes down there. It turns
out to be a general, not a media guy. And
then the second guy with the million minds on the beach,
and then of course the nurse that had these twenty
seven Vietnam soldiers in and none of them were shot

(09:59):
or injured. They were they were Mountnutrician, and they were
in shock, and they were in the field with no
food in jungle rot and you just what's that story, right, Like,
why were these twenty seven guys in the jungle with
no food and no backup? And and I guess left
there for whatever time and that and she's right, I mean,

(10:21):
you know, she went on, I didn't play the part
where she said she thought it was interesting that in
the nineties when the Iraqi War broke out, that they
were saying, well, can women, you know, go into these
zones and she was just laughing, like, you know, we've
been there the whole time, Second World War, Vietnam, Korea,
nurses and of course combat was new for Iraq, but

(10:45):
the nurses have been there forever. And the fact that
at least the medic, the doctor there commented that you know,
these these kids come in and these soldiers feel so
much better when they see the nurse because it's like
there's sister or their mom. Made a difference, made a
difference for sure.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well done. And by the way, that segment, thank you,
Tony Venedi. Brought to you by Horse Soldier Bourbon. Seen
the movie twelve Strong. It is the horse Soldiers that
started first boots on the ground in Afghanistan. After nine
to eleven, every bottle is forged in fire from the
steel of the twin towers. You're gonna love Horse Soldier Bourbon.

(11:24):
If you're flying today, you're probably not gonna like the
airport activity. Airlines are working to help passengers affected by
the Federal Aviation Administration's order to cut ten percent of
flights to forty US airports starting today due to the
government shutdown. American Airlines said they're gonna cancel two hundred

(11:45):
and twenty of it's roughly six thousand daily departure. Delta
Airlines is expected to operate most of its flights as schedules,
so les's good news if you're a Delta customer. Southwest
said it will contact affected customers directly through their booking
information and well, we automatically booked a rebook other pastors

(12:05):
when possible. So I guess check with your airline to
find out exactly what's going on with your flight. Even
on a regular Tuesday, it's always hard to find out.
We always have to check the gate. Even though we
leave Louisville and we say, hey, you're going here, you'll
end in gate seven and you need to be at
gate twenty two or whatever it might be. We still

(12:25):
checked the second we got off the fly because sixty
percent of time it's changed.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, so they had ran Paul on earlier in the week.
Was that Monday or I guess it was Monday. It
was Monday. We asked him flat out, you know, predict
this thing because I think you know, I don't want
to indict everybody up there in Washington, DC, but it
seems like you all know the playbook. You know this
has to happen and then we're going to get this
thing fixed. He said he thought this week it would

(12:54):
be the government will be back open.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, the Democrat Party's approval and continues to plummet, where
it's already at sixteen percent approval rating. You would think
somebody would get out in front of this, but doesn't
look like that's the case.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
And we thought, okay, maybe they were getting through Tuesday's
election and then they'll, you know, they'll fix it.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
They have not. I thought they were just I thought
they were just going for the record because Monday we
tied it and we had to go for just go
for the record.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
But you didn't want to say anything because it's like
a no hitter. You don't want to mention.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
You can't imagine it, you don't Jake's this.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
But I feel all those TSA workers that have to
put up with the public and then have to go
thirty seven days without a paycheck. That's just and go
rolling into the holidays and Thanksgiving. This is unacceptable and
they need to stop running the show for them and
run for the people that vote for him.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And well, it's affecting the safety of the American taxpayer. Yeah,
you know, you got some maloney jobs that could just
go away. A federal aviation, in my opinion, is not
one of them. No, Leaves is vulnerable in many ways. Listen,
these air traffic controllers. They have one of the most
high stress jobs in the unit.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You can't imagine using equipment from the nineteen seventies. Yeah, which,
that's so smart.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
All right, But meanwhile, let's tear down a brand new
high school and you know, oh yeah and build geo
thermal floors or not.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, uh so again open it up. Maybe there's a
miracle and by the end of the day they get
it done. I don't know. I don't even know if
there's a vote today. I've got to look to make sure.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Oh it's a Friday, You kidding me? Who goes in
on a Friday? Sit on the taxpayer's dime? You can
get right what you thinking. Pello windows and doors Man,
do y'all love you? You're gonna love them too, But
check out their showroom on Factory Lane. These Pello windows
and doors, Man, they're beautiful and they should be the
rated number one and highest quality number one, and highest

(14:54):
craftsmanship number one and highest value, and just keeps going

Can you hear your neighbors talking outside in the driveway?
That's annoying, isn't it? Well? That could be corrected with
new windows and doors from Pello Windows and Doors. And

Speaker 2 (16:20):
The great Chris Cornell, We miss you, buddy. I was
more of an audio slave fan than I will stop.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I really was, Oh yeah, like yourself in the face
for that stage well not.

Speaker 11 (16:34):
I do like some audio slave songs, particularly the ones
that sound like Sound Garden like a stone.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
That's just a stupid statement, face from a stupid face.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Stupid I say better than sound good. My name is Tony.
Look at my dumb word who breathing out of his mouth.

Speaker 11 (16:53):
Cornell also did a He did a pop album with
Timbaland in the late early twenty ten.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
He was Popey coming in the Broadway play Popeye.

Speaker 9 (17:04):
He was Popeye and a lot of people don't know
his favorite thing to drink before he goes on stage,
Just camera Mills, Rodney, what do you.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Think there you go. Uh you brought I brought up
the holiday light hating holiday lights. That's one of the
side hustles for the for the winter. I did not
know these two. I knew one of these was running
holiday errands for people.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
Oh and do my shopping for me.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah. Yeah, that's a thing I would like to. That's
up seventeen percent in the last year. The hourly rates.
Are you ready? Thirty two dollars?

Speaker 10 (17:45):
Now that's there's no, that's not bad.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
How many errands you can get done in an hour?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
That's not bad?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (17:51):
I guess it depends on where you live.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh, which reminds me somebody with my name. He was
pretty pretty pisted off Wednesday night because I drove home
got home last night and I said, hey, honey a
text her. I said, hey, honey, dude, are you leaving
a bag, a plastic bag on the porch for somebody
to pick up? She said, well no, I said, well,
it looks like somebody dropped something off for us. So

(18:14):
I went up there. Yes, last night, I finally get
home at like six thirty, walk in front porch. I
grab it. It's a Buffalo wild Wings bag. Yeah, great order.
Whoever ordered this.

Speaker 8 (18:29):
Order?

Speaker 2 (18:29):
But so I thought, well, man, I want to heat
this up. But then it was sealed so safe. But
the boxes were ice coat and they were mushy, and
it had been there since ten o'clock last night before
you ate it. No, I didn't need it. Came it
straight to the trash.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
But all right, how you used to eat stuff off
the floor?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
So I have to ask, No, I've evolved now.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I just I think if you have enough errands that
you need someone to do it, you probably have the
money for this, because you know, it's like dry cleaning,
and you know that's kind of stuff that people with
money do, right, So I don't know, I mean super
busy people. I don't know, mother of four. If you've
got four kids, you know you've got somebody who running
errands for you for two or three hours. I think

(19:12):
it's worth one hundred bucks, right.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, well it just two hours. Say how much stuff
you get? YO want?

Speaker 6 (19:17):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (19:18):
You know what I want? What I want? Somebody just
to stand in line so I get a driver's license.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Waiting in line is the next job. When a client
wants to make sure they get the latest tech product
or toy that comes out, or a reservation at an
in demand restaurant. They often reach out to task Rabbit
task Rabbit for the line waiting services. These jobs have
jumped eighteen percent year after year.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
It's interesting. A friend of mine uses a similar service.
It's not task Rabbit, but my buddy Richard Gear used Gerbil.
You know he loves it. He pays the little herbal
and Fredo's.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's just wrong.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Here's a nice little freedom for your Gurbil. No go
back to war store.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
You.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
That's how that doesn't sound accurate. Bad Samuel.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Average rate for guys standing in line for you twenty
seven bucks an hour.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Oh yeah, I do. If I could get a driver's
license for the worth like if I could remember the
people that were selling fake driver's license Yeah for two
just pay two hundred bucks and get you get an
idea whatever. Well, well I gotta be like this.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
When I got mine, I had to make it a
month and a half in advance, and I had to
drive to Barchtown. So Barchtown's forty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
If you want government to be control of anything, just
go get a driver's license or pay your taxes on
your car after you've already paid taxes on your car
after Yeah, well.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
The state did a real doozy on that. They did
not a good job on that rollout.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
I mean, John, did you teach him the word rollout?

Speaker 10 (20:56):

Oh, especially when you brought up the Glenn Fry thing.
I was like, oh, thank God put that in.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
I literally flipped an Icebreakers mets to make that decision.
It was eighty five eighty six.

Speaker 10 (23:32):
All right, Icebreakers men saved you.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Dwight and I both have things that were embarrassed about
when we were younger. You mean the time that was
never mind Oh in fourth grade, No, it was fifth grade.
I got on the bus, Okay, I had a football
practice jersey that it was just solid over the shoulder
pass but it was mesh. This mesh. I thought, you know,

(23:55):
what my mom had washed it after practice, and I thought,
I'm gonna wear that as a shot. So I got
on the and I thought, this looks awesome. You could
actually see my nipples. Yeah, and through the mesh.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Hey, listen to who who?

Speaker 1 (24:12):
And I got thank you bad, don't even Eddie. And
it didn't hit me until I sat in the damn
thing on the bus and I was looking out the window,
and I knew I have made a terrible mistake.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Everything was fine until those school bus doors closed and
that bus starts, It.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Starts moving you. It ain't going into your stop. So
all of us have had John's picturing this in his
head right now. Uh, everybody's got something. So I have
a list of people that say I had. I'm gonna
go ahead and fess up what I did when I
was younger. That's embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
There's a lot of stuff that I probably would never
fess up to.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
This first one is spectacular.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I want to apologize my mother. No, no, no Thanksgiving turkey
ruining that. Yeah, that's a totally different. I was thirteen
years old, experiment hormones were rage. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Uh, this young man says I started a rap crew
based on Winnie the Pooh. I was Pooh Daddy. My
friend was Notorious t I g as in Tigger Notorious
t Ig. We had another friend was Big Oh. We
were writing a song. I don't know, maybe the Yeah.

(25:28):
He was writing a song called honey rhymes with money.
The name of the group yeah, Pooh Tang Claan.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
What are you embarrassed about?

Speaker 6 (25:40):
Man?

Speaker 2 (25:40):
That's nothing to be embarrassed about. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Why isn't this band touring right now?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
It should be a Woo tang.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yes, I wore a cat collar to school with a
bell on it. I thought it was cool. It's pretty bad.

Speaker 10 (25:59):
Will do that nowadays? All the furries or whatever.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Excuse me, miss Abernathy. Can I use the litter box?
Do they keep the litter box in the classroom? Surely not?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
On that note, I thought I was a werewolf. In
ninth grade, I recruited dozens of students into a pack
and even involved a counselor who got fired for hosting
magic rituals with us.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Gosh, if that counsel is listening, I'm sure there's a
position open at JCPS for you.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
So from first grade until my freshman year, I wore
a hotdog shirt every day. I still have thirty to
forty hotdog shirts.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, that'd be a good way to get a bad nickname.
In high school. The kids can be cruel, very cruel.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
And if the word wiener would be brought in that
I've spoken a British accent. I'm from southern United States.
He was in school.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
He did a.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Souse and I got this one, Polly vou Franseill.

Speaker 1 (27:07):

business card printed that said night in Shining Armor, and
I handed it to people that I found attracted.

Speaker 2 (27:15):

Speaker 1 (27:20):
See Lance McGarvey doing that.

Speaker 9 (27:22):

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Hey, here's my business card.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
If you ever find yourself in a tower trap, give
me a ring.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I tried to convince people I had a twin and
I even I even had her come to school one day.
I guess he trust a girl, so she did, and
I'm the sister.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
She did the Garth Brooks Chris Gaines deal. Hey, Garth,
please refer to me as Chris Chris Ganes.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I pretended to be a spy. I walked around fast
with scanning for danger, carried my dad's briefcase in war
black gloves even in the summer.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, that kid got beat up plenty. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I love all these kids, I really do. I was
obsessed with the Three Musketeers movie. I convinced my mom
to buy me a vulure cloak that I wore everywhere
for months. These people are brave to go online and
tell this story. Oh dude, My friends and I had

(28:29):
a twilight phase so intense that we only spoke in quotes,
assigned ourselves, culling family identities, and pretended invisible characters were
sitting with us.

Speaker 10 (28:41):
It's like playing Dungeons and dragons.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's pretty bad. Okay, that's the list.

Speaker 10 (28:47):
Was the mesh thing was that you you did the
mess jersey thing?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah? I did. Okay, that wasn't one of these No

school with them?

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Oh?

No, it was all day long?

Speaker 4 (28:57):
It was.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
It was even teachers were like, Tony, what are you doing?
I thought it was I just was convinced it was cool.
I thought it was gonna be cool.
