0:05:59
spk_1
 

Yeah, and I'm just

0:06:01
spk_0
 

above it did have a big winter faith.

0:06:04
spk_1

0:06:31
spk_1
 

Secret of that steamy margarita. But

0:06:35
spk_3
 

I just we want to say thank you for

0:06:39
spk_1
 

hearing us last month and adding more

0:06:41
spk_3
 

tuba. Yeah, so I do think I do think we may be

0:06:48
spk_1
 

overestimated. How many? We need it. Yeah, he

0:06:51
spk_0
 

wanted the sound of a New Orleans brass band.

0:06:54
spk_1
 

And let's bare

0:06:55
spk_0
 

assed first. Understood. That was just a lot more to

0:06:57
spk_3
 

we went out of our pocket

0:06:58
spk_2
 

for more tube. It's so fun to say you can't have

0:07:01
spk_3
 

too much tuba. Yeah, it's a lot like it's almost like Cow Bell. It's like that.

0:07:08
spk_1
 

I like it just like changed a little.

0:07:11
spk_0
 

You know that there ended up being a national news story that what it started with, they say you can't have too much tuba. And this high school band proves them wrong.

0:07:20
spk_1
 

Yeah, And that is, of course, of the 55 students originally, there was one. Now there is 48.

0:07:28
spk_0
 

We've got 48 tubas to snare drums, two triangles,

0:07:33
spk_1
 

and then the rest just throws up flags and they sing. But unamplified

0:07:37
spk_0
 

the kid that eight flags will come by and throw him

0:07:40
spk_3
 

up. Uh, what is this meeting about?

0:07:44
spk_0
 

I sorry. We've got

0:07:45
spk_3
 

no meeting. Sorry,

0:07:47
spk_0
 

Grandma. We've got not track.

0:07:49
spk_3
 

I have to be about 20 minutes, and I mean this meeting to be finished.

0:07:54
spk_0
 

All right, we got to go quick. My grandma's gonna be in bed and 20

0:07:57
spk_3
 

So I slipped. I am. I sleep in the gym behind the curtain instead. I am.

0:08:04
spk_0
 

You don't look by the curtain. That's grandma's bedroom. Like

0:08:07
spk_2
 

I said, I have to get a bed

0:08:09
spk_0
 

soon. All right, Grandma, just go lay down, get your bed ready, and I'll come by and Flippy pillow and take you in real tight.

0:08:15
spk_2
 

We don't I don't need that.

0:08:17
spk_0
 

But you do. Because if I don't tuck you, you wander. Don't

0:08:20
spk_2
 

tell it all right away. Don't need that. Can we talk about the parking for the

0:08:25
spk_1
 

games for the home game? Yes, there's a big clog. Okay, all right. I think it's because we're allowing too many visitors to come to the games.

0:08:34
spk_0
 

So you want to say less visitors? The

0:08:37
spk_1
 

other team? No tent. They don't get to have attendance

0:08:40
spk_2
 

visitor fans or fans as visitors, because I think there's too many visitors in general. Yeah, I think we cut out some of our home patronage. How you love to see a football game with 55 people in the halftime show about 10 people in

0:08:53
spk_0
 

the stands? I think those those kids on the football team work really hard, and I like having the support of the fans there. I think that we're getting the clogs because people are not respecting the American rules of dry what side of the road you drive a car on. Okay,

0:09:11
spk_2
 

and it's kind of a free for all of those Friday night game.

0:09:13
spk_0
 

Absolutely. All right, You know, we got the Australian kids coming and going on the wrong side, but it's even the parents and I would say that there's another issue. You can't all be the mascot. We have a mascot. Eso a lot of driving issues come from real showing up in mascot costume.

0:09:29
spk_2
 

There are a lot of on licensed bear Mascot is costing to find he's his costume to find. And a lot of those cars, mine included, are dressed up like floats to take up more room than one lane. That's right, so it's tough to get

0:09:46
spk_3
 

in there.

0:09:47
spk_2
 

But I think our school spirit is showing. And let's at least keep

0:09:49
spk_0
 

our floats on. Theme. If you're a bear, the float should be bear related. Okay,

0:09:54
spk_2
 

My float was, of course, root beer, and that was a mistake.

0:09:58
spk_1
 

Yeah, I think you got. I think you

0:09:59
spk_2
 

guys are root bear. You get

0:10:01
spk_1
 

it? Yeah. I think you got to go with what you have access to when it comes Teoh creating a flow.

0:10:07
spk_2
 

So we're saying we're gonna put up some signs or it's just drive on the right hand side

0:10:10
spk_0
 

of it. So the road no floats and no Cummings mascot that's getting dangerous. All right, we're getting too many mascots down on the field,

0:10:19
spk_2
 

people don't know who to listen to, who to watch and some of these mascots I figured affair. Can you remind us of what the mascot is? One more time?

0:10:27
spk_0
 

Uh, were the Hamilton haters now

0:10:32
spk_2
 

eso if you want to come, is a mascot just up the loser. It's like a kid hunching over commenting on Internet.

0:10:39
spk_0
 

Yeah, yeah, were the haters. And so if you want to come, don't know, don't come as a mascot at all. We have a mascot. Um, it's not a lot the mascot. A secret, obviously. So it's not gonna

0:10:51
spk_1
 

change even if you do the best bear.

0:10:55
spk_0
 

No. Even if you come in and somehow blow away away with your bear costume, would, from what I've seen is not going to happen

0:11:03
spk_2
 

the way the mascot thing is not in America's got talent like competition.

0:11:07
spk_0
 

Never it never waas. Okay, so

0:11:09
spk_1
 

that explains why wasn't given

0:11:10
spk_2
 

a wireless mic. I'm free to move on. I want to move on. I was misunderstanding.

0:11:15
spk_0
 

Okay, let's understand women over partly. I think we have bigger fish to fry here. All right, Well,

0:11:21
spk_2
 

not in the lunch, Not on the lunches. I wish we had big fish. But

0:11:25
spk_3
 

how big do you want these fish? Todd? So look, yes. I don't think this guy

0:11:31
spk_2
 

leading the meeting is crazy. I mean, what? He wants to fry big fish.

0:11:35
spk_0
 

I was using a turn of phrase there. Alright. Bigger fish to fry. Uh, but yes, it was It doesn't look like my handwriting, but does say on the doctor here, fish size is the next thing to discuss. Beautiful. Uh,

0:11:51
spk_3
 

let's get into it, man. This could take full Fisher years. Okay?

0:11:57
spk_0
 

With lures all over,

0:11:59
spk_1
 

he had guys. A man. It's

0:12:01
spk_3
 

way you fly

0:12:04
spk_1
 

it. It's just flat mission. It's just funny that comes up on the agenda. Weeks after I've been taking fly fishing lessons, working on my cash. So

0:12:14
spk_3
 

what? What do you want to talk about? Fish size wise. You

0:12:17
spk_1
 

want you want a big wedding to be considered a smaller

0:12:19
spk_2
 

face? You want the school to classically catch the big one?

0:12:23
spk_1
 

Yeah. You know, you know, it could mean a lot of things. I think I think namely what I would love is for ah, for us to talk a little bit about you know what? Ah, what is capable? You know uh,

0:12:35
spk_0
 

call. You have to have a real sub, a big fishes and your son. All right, so that's the the

0:12:43
spk_1
 

Can I listen, Todd, how's my son doing on his tests? Remarkably well,

0:12:48
spk_0
 

actually, your son is testing above most of the students here.

0:12:51
spk_1
 

Yeah. Yeah. Is my son of fish, huh? I'm not gonna answer that to Is my son doing good on tests? Yes.

0:13:00
spk_2
 

So are you sending your kid big quotes to school and doing his homework?

0:13:05
spk_1
 

Oh, that's what an accusation? What? It's b o you get

0:13:09
spk_2
 

Your kid is hanging from a line with you right now.

0:13:13
spk_1
 

This is his leash. He runs amok. Look, I don't want them back, so I had to put a leash on him. It's like That's like when people doing at them the mall with their Children.

0:13:21
spk_0
 

Look, your son, Lance Bass has been doing very well, All right, But I do think that, you know, where do we draw the line? Here? We start letting people were
