Speaker 4

the worst rat if we're going by delta statuses you guys i

Speaker 5

think we're past this kind of stuff i think we are

Speaker 2

i

Speaker 5

think we've grown up a little bit more than this kind of

Speaker 2

conversation no offense to anybody but i think that's sort of our old selves yes yes what would you like to talk about

Speaker 4

my new haircut our new uniforms our new place i just feel like we've we've

Speaker 5

risen into the upper crust and we're still talking about rats well let's go he threw out one two three your new haircut we'll start with that it's perfect that's what i said you said a little bit off you want it to look professional yes and you do

Speaker 4

you do well i told him the top grows a little slower than the sides so i want a little off the sides none off the top a little bit of a mushroom cut little but

Speaker 5

it's fancy right it fits the fancy vibe

Speaker 4

absolutely well like teachers

Speaker 5

who teach at an academy they don't care about their hair classically they they don't like look amazing so they're just all about this the studies

Speaker 3

well it's i think you don't want to look like you put too much into your your appearance because then you don't seem smart you know i always

Speaker 0

when i was growing up

Speaker 5

said

i was like if you look too good you must be a dummy is what i've always said this is the opposite this is an opposite of a ceo energy ceo clean cut nice clothes talks good good

Speaker 3

teacher ugly fat sweaty

Speaker 5

you you took two one of the words right out of my mouth which one

Speaker 3

uh sweaty sweaty got that box checked and i think i will forever uh i don't know if your guys is uh in your sort of school school supplied uh apartments i don't know if your guys's acs are working but mine is not so

Speaker 7

if i am a bit more sweaty a little more irritable just know it's because i have not been sleeping well uh and i have been trying desperately to get the maintenance

Speaker 2

department to come through and fix the ac

Speaker 3

i have to immediately admit to something i know it's early and i don't want to start in some

Speaker 5

sort of this is good rat stuff

Speaker 2

good rat it's good rat i'm admitting i'm writing on myself

Speaker 5

good that's what therapy is good rat

Speaker 2

that's good rat yes therapy is good rat i've been seeing a good rat lately and it's been helping me uh and what i have to say right now howard is i turned your ac around and i've been piping it into my uh into my closet so that when i put my clothes on they are nice and fresh and

Speaker 4

cool i've been seeing a long tube going out of howard's window and

Speaker 5

into another one it kind of looks like et where they're all running in and

Speaker 3

out of the house and you're getting actually pumped in heat watery heat humidity

Speaker 4

into your yeah you're taking the coolness that might exist in my because now you have a swamp heater

Speaker 3

instead of a swamp cooler

Speaker 2

i feel so unburdened thank you howard

Speaker 3

for letting me say that you know what i i've spent most of my life just being upset at the world shitting on me

Speaker 2

um

Speaker 0

so excuse my language i know we told the school we wouldn't curse

Speaker 5

we don't curse anymore yeah um but i you know i choose to turn the other cheek here yeah uh because i'm sort of uh looking at this new opportunity for us as an opportunity for growth for me an opportunity for growth for you todd i think maybe now you recognize that what you did was not nice

Speaker 2

yeah and you

have done it and maybe you'll take steps to rectify

Speaker 5

shouldn't

it

Speaker 3

you need to rectify that you need to switch it because there are

Speaker 2

bullfrogs here no one rectify sorry i'll re -refy it

Speaker 4

i don't think rectify means rectum is that what you're thinking

Speaker 2

oh

Speaker 4

i don't think i don't know i don't that's why you you were like it's time for our annual review you were like but you will

Speaker 5

review yes i said that loudly

Speaker 3

it was about 75 teachers staff and everybody and i stood up and said but

Speaker 2

you will

Speaker 3

and i'll say i'll say todd it was wild what you stood up and screamed when we watched colin powell speak it uh

Speaker 4

i'm tired of people cursing anus colon all these

Speaker 3

curse words

Speaker 4

these are

Speaker 7

curses

Speaker 5

yeah it's rear but hind in okay you know what i'm thinking about is that real quick real quick

Speaker 4

never hold that i just want to say real quick before we move

Speaker 0

on before we move on from you're going to switch the you're going to switch the uh ac unit because i have seen a bunch of uh bullfrogs looking in your window jealous of your environment in my window yes they're

Speaker 3

jealous they're jealous of your swamp room yes anyway go ahead sorry that was just a quick no let's say that needs to be that needs to go i'll say i noticed you were trying to say that five minutes ago

Speaker 5

and i did and i don't think it was worth it it was

Speaker 2

we'll never know if there was a live audience for our podcasts we would know that that in fact did not work we've learned what doesn't work for a live audience since most of the podcast

Speaker 5

it is most of the interactions we have

Speaker 2

almost all of this does not work live so this is something you can hear that is comedy that does not work live do it alone everyone should be alone way more right now uh listen alone force your girlfriend to listen with you uh

Speaker 4

but otherwise they don't

Speaker 5

need that note yeah they don't need that

you for forcing your girlfriend there are girlfriends at blank point all across the u .s listening to big ron day all across the u

Speaker 2

yeah thank

.s blank by the blank point the blank was replacing a word we can't say

Speaker 4

anymore thank you anus point anus point well what i was going to say speaking of the bullfrogs

Speaker 2

is i'm not even sure if our i don't even know if we're talking to the same audience anymore if this is a new audience

Speaker 3

of students because we've totally switched schools this and we are now teachers of the bullfrogs

Speaker 4

yes right we're teaching our

Speaker 5

mascot here we're teaching at the school and our mascot is the bullfrogs which was confusing when you said there's bullfrogs looking in to get into my room and i said well i'm not going to hang out with students in my room

Speaker 7

no

Speaker 3

but

Speaker 5

this is a

Speaker 3

beautiful beautiful no

Speaker 5

no no it's not the

Speaker 3

students it's

Speaker 7

the

Speaker 3

actual animals beautiful campus here we are at an academy

Speaker 2

you've seen these on movies once every four years if you've seen the x -men it looks like that it looks like charles xavier's x -men academy

Speaker 5

you

Speaker 4

know if there's famously choat where a lot of the kennedys went this is obviously croak um this is

Speaker 5

a academy nice private school the croak bullfrogs excuse me croak bullfrog academy me um which very rarely is the mascot of the school

Speaker 2

in

Speaker 7

the

Speaker 3

name it's true

Speaker 2

and is it it doesn't have to be

Speaker 3

named after hamilton j croak yeah yes um who is uh a very big name in hamilton and he also uh the bullfrog actually is connected to that to it as well when he would give speeches a lot of times he would do a big burp beforehand

Speaker 6

yes

Speaker 4

and he had a

Speaker 2

very low voice so his burps would kind

Speaker 4

of well let's not forget his physical stature i mean he

Speaker 3

shaped just like a bullfrog

Speaker 2

was

most

Speaker 3

of his body was neck

Speaker 2

yes as um maybe howard's about to say what we got hired here at the croak um bullfrogs which is an academy for higher and richer

Speaker 3

yes affluent

Speaker 2

families send their children from all around the country to get the best education you can

Speaker 5

get anywhere in the united states the teachers live on campus we are very well taken care

Speaker 3

of yeah

Speaker 4

this is a super private school big

Speaker 3

doors big charter big dome also it's it's a very private

Speaker 4

big dome you've seen the

Speaker 3

sphere in vegas they modeled that after our gym

Speaker 2

yes our gym is the initial sphere um

Speaker 4

and we also got a fish to play here um when we open it up but we had to sign a they listened back well they had ai listen back to all the teachers lounge just before they hired us

Speaker 1

yes

Speaker 2

and then they gave us a list of things we cannot do if they're gonna hire us

Speaker 1

here yes um they were short staffed not a lot of teachers want this job you have to live on

Speaker 3

campus and the kids are have a reputation of being you know if you've ever seen those movies where the kids sort of treat their teachers like shit uh excuse me gosh i'm the one who's cursing

Speaker 4

what what but you can say shit you just can't say anus or pooper oh

Speaker 3

awesome i'm sorry oh todd that was really helpful if you keep doing bleeps we can move them over the word yeah all right thank you um but no you've probably seen in these these kids are not the nicest kids they've they've sort of been born with a silver spoon

Speaker 5

in their mouths but it is tough because we do not get paid a lot we are

Speaker 3

taking a huge huge pay cut because we really are more we we care more about academia than we do really i mean our needs are met

Speaker 4

we're almost like a living super

Speaker 5

yes we get to live here for free and we get paid a little bit but we do have to both clean the premises and teach the children

Speaker 2

yes if we

Speaker 4

have to if people have need fixes their garbage disposal isn't working stuff like that we have to pound at their door during the most inconvenient time and bring in our friend freddie who can do any sort of can i be honest i feel like that's why i got the job because in my interview i talked way more about being annoying at the front door than i did about any sort of teaching stuff

Speaker 5

oh right you led with that we were like maybe just mention that i didn't

Speaker 2

even mean to but they seemed so interested in how i can be annoying for up to six seven hours if i really need to and your initial email was the capitalization was all over the place

Speaker 4

it didn't respond to the first five things that were referenced in the email and they're like you would be a perfect super landlord it has to be yeah it has to look crazy in your inbox so that you so that it grabs your attention

Speaker 5

and when you knock on the door you don't step back you you get you stay right there close and

Speaker 4

you are they to look through the people at me why am i on a hidden camera show all of a sudden oh no thank you

Speaker 5

yeah you are you're returning the peep yeah absolutely i bring my own people and i peep through my hole into their

Speaker 7

hole

Speaker 4

hole is a word todd i love your new commitment to being clean todd's new commitment to being clean i think has changed us all because it's like finally i have i don't know what you would call it like a i don't know if mentor is the right word but someone who i actually respect and look up to which has never happened for me in my life

Speaker 2

thank you it's what i've been going for

Speaker 5

i had a big um a brief stint at the fcc bleeping things

Speaker 2

for a while in

Speaker 3

between

Speaker 4

this he was gonna say big

Speaker 3

stint and you changed it to brief which was right it was big but brief little stint at the fcc well you did one live uh one live uh

Speaker 4

kind of live yeah i guess well you were in they increased the delay it was supposed to be a zero second delay

Speaker 5

but it was a two minute delay because of todd's skills

Speaker 4

yes he could not get to the button on time in fact you added some fuck somehow to the grammys but no a words which we love right

Speaker 2

yes yes well uh i accidentally did a two minute delay and then i piped in my own audio so for two minutes all you could hear was me cursing trying to figure out how to fix it right

Speaker 5

rihanna was supposed to return for the first time

Speaker 4

anus stupid freaking hole sorry that was a

Speaker 2

stupid

Speaker 3

dramatization thank you i think you can say curse words if you quote that's right one of

Speaker 2

the things i'm actually teaching right now is parody law and it's a r o d y

Speaker 4

no p a r r o t y it's parody law and if you repeat anything in a voice that sounds

Speaker 1

close enough

Speaker 6

that's legal it's under the laws of parody p o p o r d o d

Speaker 3

y i'll say you

Speaker 4

are uniquely qualified to yes to to teach that because a deep cut would be that your parent is a parent yeah that's right and i'll tell you what the shoulder is warm whenever he wants to come back it's ready it's my purchase your purchase ready

Speaker 2

right now wow

Speaker 4

yeah that'd be something we'll explain that backstory eventually we will get

Speaker 5

nobody forget you learned to speak from a parrot at one point a hundred percent yes

Speaker 2

but no this i i wanted to talk about that parody law class um i looked at your first day syllabus and it's that spongebob meme of him doing the thing with the words all crazy

Speaker 4

oh you don't believe parody law is real

Speaker 2

yeah that's what it is and i think that that's something a lot of these students could learn about

Speaker 4

well it's about where creativity meets finance because a lot of these kids have the resources to do whatever they want

Speaker 3

but they need to learn the legal ramifications or else they're going to be screwed and now you've you've received a credential to teach basic sort of law because you've been in court so many times

Speaker 4

very basic law it's okay yes teach it yeah they said technically you've done more hours than any lawyer of all time

Speaker 2

you've passed through the bar so many times that you're a lawyer

Speaker 4

no that one time i ran into it it fucking hurt like shit excuse me i forgot i okay

Speaker 3

yes so we're sorry so yeah i'm doing a light law class it has to do with copyright law and entertainment and that's great because these kids like we said are are are they come from affluent backgrounds a lot of

Speaker 4

them are going to have jobs in the future there's going to be actors

Speaker 7

there's going

Speaker 4

to be people who are entrepreneurs who need to know the ins and outs of business

Speaker 7

and i

Speaker 0

think you know we also bring a unique perspective which was what i leaned into in my interview when i got the job here of bringing a sort of common man perspective to

Speaker 2

these

Speaker 1

extremely out of touch

Speaker 3

i'm sorry sorry i just tried to give you a little back rub there just to show you were the common man i didn't realize it would hurt you so bad that was howard you've got a really bad sunburn uh i do um because of course on move -in day uh i left my keys uh in a bathroom in a public bathroom uh i couldn't get into my apartment so

Speaker 4

i was sort of stuck outside for is that why the roof's gone

Speaker 3

i did i climbed up on the roof and i sort of burrowed a little hole in around uh the fan exhaust for the oven because it was all i could do

Speaker 4

i know it was the it was a bad choice you're like santa claus coming into your own little kitchen

Speaker 3

yep uh yeah i was and so that's another thing with the ac and the big hole in the ceiling it's going to be tough to get maintenance

Speaker 2

but you know what you are a man of the people even that

Speaker 3

you know yeah what these kids would have done was call mommy and daddy exactly or call the dean i fixed my own you fixed your own problem and that is such a good example because these kids here i mean it's a lot of big time kids it's oh martin short's son is here

Speaker 4

martin star's son martin shkreli's son martina navratilova's son martin lawrence's son is here it's a very specific school

Speaker 2

yeah um and so they need to learn and they're all going to go into the entertainment and stuff like that we know that you know the children of entertainers are just going to do the same thing

Speaker 3

yeah so we have to teach them the grounded world which is what you're here for and a big thing about it too is it's not all creatives you know there's business people here uh bezos's kids are here uh

Speaker 5

elon musk's kids are here yeah

Speaker 4

wasniac's kids are here they're weird

Speaker 5

as hell

Speaker 3

i hope that us our example doesn't further their want to not be normal even more

Speaker 0

right and want to continue in their parents footsteps but i don't think it will i mean there's some clear you know troubled kids who have a bad attitude who maybe grow up grew up you know in a house where their parents were working all the time they weren't there they're raising themselves but a couple of them

Speaker 5

are really gifted

Speaker 2

oh but they got really bad attitudes yes

Speaker 5

and we're gonna get through to them

Speaker 2

and they need an attitude adjustment and we are the attitude adjustment bureau

Speaker 4

here does anybody know being gifted with a bad attitude better than us i mean i would say that's one two three

Speaker 2

four very skilled and to be honest on our worst day we don't have great attitudes you're right

Speaker 4

um what i'm realizing here is for me one of my goals for this season of the podcast is i would like to show people how actually accessible we are

Speaker 3

that's a great idea so i would like to start by doing something uh it's my fault we should have done this from the beginning but if you're listening to this for the first time ever this your first season the teacher's lounge thank you so much for being here thank you

Speaker 2

we're so happy to have you

thank

Speaker 3

you

Speaker 5

we love you

Speaker 3

uh i am todd padre i'm a theater teacher i'm an actor i'm a writer i'm a feminist i'm the world's only winner of the rasgot that's a razzie for music film television uh and painting

Speaker 4

that's new right

Speaker 2

you just got that one yeah well they every time todd gets an award they just add it to the rasgot yes the rasgot has gotten it's the rasgot ghoul now yeah

Speaker 4

rasgot ghoul

Speaker 2

remember

Speaker 4

dark knight from the dark knight raz all ghoul

Speaker 2

yes that now it just happens to be that all the things i've won spell out rasgot ghoul um no relation but um that's who i am and i'm now at this school and they have brought me in to teach um theater and uh performance for the future so what i'm

Speaker 3

doing is i

Speaker 4

am pulling in the technology and knowing that the modern world is going to be different for these young ai todd performers well part of what you're doing is teaching the kids how to imitate ai

Speaker 2

that's what we've got to do is we've got to beat the ai um so uh we're taking on ai head first in my

Speaker 5

classes yeah we it's kind of similar to the parody i think we could even work together and for me you're inputting models of ai into human brains and trying to train them to outdo the ai

Speaker 2

yes um so we're doing we're doing a triple blind study

Speaker 5

which is a human without ai a computer with ai and then a human with ai in their brain

Speaker 4

right and we're doing a play where people try to decide which one is the most realistic and you

Speaker 2

have a blindfold on the whole time yes i'm triple blind myself while i'm doing it which means a blindfold on my eyes my nose my mouth

Speaker 4

thank god you'll be very unbiased that way

Speaker 2

that

Speaker 4

way i can't be biased at all because sometimes i'll breathe in and i go oh i could see that

Speaker 5

i weirdly i i saw you uh uh teaching the other day or or rehearsing or whatever and you were triple blind and you were having a lot of trouble sort of rehearsing and helping the kids rehearse um but you

Speaker 2

somehow had found a pie on the windowsill i tell you my hearing is better than i thought so i did waft over to the windowsill by ear

Speaker 1

because you heard a pie cooling

Speaker 2

wow

Speaker 1

wow that's impressive we are looking to go quadruple blind um

Speaker 5

that is so such integrity yeah you gotta plug those ears if you're not gonna

Speaker 2

get and now do you wear gloves because you can still touch um we'll see we'll see i've got

Speaker 4

to see oh i don't want to go uh you won't see actually uh very good well i love

Speaker 2

your commitment todd it's very important to these children to see that the the people leading them are absolutely committed

Speaker 5

because how can a student even learn to try if their uh teachers won't i mean

Speaker 4

it's a hot topic you know that the ai thing so i'm excited

Speaker 2

to see how that's going to come across oh no they're doing ai at hot topic now

Speaker 5

we're fucked

Speaker 2

now

Speaker 5

time no no you took a huge shirt

Speaker 1

oh oh imagine the huge shirts f fbi and this is not necessarily hot topic this is more spencer's uh uh

Speaker 5

federal breast investigator

Speaker 2

they topped it yeah

Speaker 3

ai topped it that was really yeah better than what we have of course yeah i did like what you just did though where you sort of very formally introduced introduced yourself

Speaker 2

yeah it was really nice it does help it's the handshake agreement

Speaker 3

with

Speaker 2

the audience why don't i why don't i do that i will all do that really quick before we get into uh hi everybody out there i'm course i of course am howard levis uh was the heir to the levi's fortune uh disowned by my family um everyone i uh everyone around me doesn't believe i've ever had sex i believe it was caught on camera one time or at least recorded um i was a uh i ran for mayor once i've i've taught a

Speaker 3

host of other subjects well i'm sorry i did somebody interject while i

Speaker 4

was no you did a fantastic job my name is sam

Speaker 3

well there

Speaker 2

was okay yeah go ahead

Speaker 1

i do want

Speaker 4

to

Speaker 3

say howard for me and this is just for you we might have different perspectives my introduction is a way to sell myself to the audience right you went right in with probably the four of the worst things that have ever happened to you

Speaker 4

your family disowned you no one thinks you've had sex you lost the mayor mayoral race because you showed your penis to everybody i don't know for some people that is a sell because that's being really vulnerable

Speaker 2

yeah oh that's my really i've got to remember my

Speaker 3

good rat practice yeah you have to rat on yourself that's been my goal uh my goal going into this is knowing that these kids are going to are going to fling barbs at me i'm expecting barbs and i

Speaker 0

am going to just have thick skin finally and i'm going to put my head down and i am going to absolutely crush it this year at school uh what do you think is one big

Speaker 4

success you're going to have this year because we are focused on a lot of your negatives but i see you succeed

Speaker 2

that's a great question for the good rat

Speaker 3

work uh well i actually have uh have taken over as the uh academic decathlon teacher so i'm going to sort of facilitate uh for academic decathlon which of course is like you could a lot of people out there try to dumb it down say it's just a trivia competition but

Speaker 4

there's a lot of running it's swimming it's biking it's the whole thing oh well this is an academic decathlon so it's it's just i'm lost it's all brains i know a lot of people are but you know it's there's

Speaker 2

it's it's more like a shooting archery um

Speaker 3

uh no that's like olympic kind of events this is all why would anyone watch it or do it then man i look i'm excited for it you guys obviously don't get it i'm very excited it's uh you know there's there's a sort of reading comprehension contest there's speech and debate

Speaker 4

oh a reading comprehension contest i will tune in what's that on espn too that

Speaker 2

must be on that must

Speaker 4

be espn prime they probably bumped men's basketball for that

Speaker 3

no this is uh this is just going to be sort of uh shown on the collegiate our car or not the collegiate circuit which is a group of boarding schools uh who compete it's going to be on the youtube channel for um uh our croak academy

Speaker 4

and what's your goal for the team are we trying to do top five in the state

Speaker 3

because all nations they've won

Speaker 2

10 years in a row right

Speaker 3

right uh they did what they've won 10 years in a row the teacher uh who did it last year uh mr morrison he retired last year and i'm taking over um the team looks really really good i got some real smart kids

Speaker 0

in there um i will say our first meeting was a bit challenging i was uh you know i you guys know i struggle to lead and sometimes i sort of let the uh the pack lead the the alpha if you know what i mean

and that that kind of is what ended up happening so we didn't get a ton done in our first session but i am hoping

Speaker 2

yeah

Speaker 5

fingers crossed they read you uh drag queen style they

Speaker 3

they dressed you down with jokes about your physical appearance really good

Speaker 2

reading comprehension

Speaker 3

on you in

Speaker 2

my first in my first day i decided i'm going to sort of do a fun thing where i'm going to sit everybody in a circle and i'm going to stand in the middle and i'm going to kind of just like go around and talk to each student to try to get a feel for who they were

Speaker 0

they kind of mistook it as like uh have you ever seen in a football practice that thing the pickle barrel where somebody sort of sits in the middle and then everybody goes around and just like hits them as hard as they can i

Speaker 2

don't know where they got this idea but they sort of took it as like a roast circle

Speaker 7

and

Speaker 2

kind of just went right around the circle all 12 kids just sort of laid into me for oh they pickle barreled you with words

yep

Speaker 3

damn

Speaker 5

i mean that'll create some type of rapport between

Speaker 2

you and them

Speaker 4

sometimes kids need to give you a hard time to let you know like they fuck with you

Speaker 5

yeah

Speaker 2

yeah because like you know no no that's an okay word yes it's just it has nothing to do with the body it's about the posterior in the body and the airy bleepers um but bill why don't you hello my name

Speaker 3

is bill cravey uh you guys know me i i coach basketball at hamilton i was uh let go for throwing a big uh a big pyrex of lasagna at the other team and then uh

Speaker 5

um

Speaker 2

we're sure you gotta show off your teeth show teeth during intro we're trying to do that

Speaker 5

we've

Speaker 0

learned a lot about hosting a podcast from some more popular ones

Speaker 5

but yeah sorry to interrupt for teeth show um and i uh what else have i done

Speaker 4

bill so much so much the beef diaper one of the most popular items in the

Speaker 2

um

Speaker 5

world yes the beef diaper i have sold all out of my stock i had a warehouse it's fully sold out when you don't try sometimes everything happens uh you know that little uh uh that little pad underground beef that sops up the blood uh whoa underground beef

Speaker 4

mark that as an idea

Speaker 2

that's a very interesting idea

Speaker 4

underground beef beef that is raised underground we don't even have to see the cows anymore

Speaker 2

especially how hot it is

Speaker 5

yeah that should make

Speaker 4

the cows

Speaker 2

feel better

Speaker 5

they're already okay yeah what what's happening to them and if we put them underground just to get them out of our side

Speaker 7

i think that would help but

Speaker 0

yeah the beef diaper as you guys know it stays where you put it a lot of times you throw ground beef in the pan and it sticks to the ground beef and you have to sort of peel it off and what even trash can do you put it in nowadays i don't know there's green there's blue there's black there's little bucket which one is it

Speaker 5

my little bucket is overflowing like crazy i don't know when they come to pick that up

Speaker 2

well now there's more

than compost in

Speaker 4

ants than

Speaker 1

Speaker 5

yes

Speaker 2

angry dave's

Speaker 4

angry dave's hey angry dave knows how to turn in the right form

Speaker 5

absolutely you've got a lot of tutors out there

Speaker 2

but bill i am actually as your friend yes and maybe confidant even so happy you're back to coaching that's where you started

Speaker 0

i think your life fell apart when you left coaching and before and before and while and while and

Speaker 1

before

Speaker 0

this is a good opportunity for you to reconnect to your roots

Speaker 5

i think you've kind of meeting people had a coming of age here well yeah i mean everyone loves a coach something about a coach just works

Speaker 2

yes you trust them you trust them that they're that you know they're they're they're doing the right salt of you gotta you grab a boy around the shoulders and be like hey it's okay

Speaker 4

yeah you get them next time kind of thing it's a special kind of guy

Speaker 2

that as an adult wants to spend all their time with 14 year old kids yeah it's a special type because most people don't want to put in that work

Speaker 4

no but that's such an important time in those boys

Speaker 5

lives yes you smell like them which is helpful you don't see your family because you're out there coaching so much and riding on a bus for most of your adult life

Speaker 2

and you've been blasting the theme song to friday night lights uh on your way to school i hear you go to sleep to it at night your sound machine plays

Speaker 5

it yeah i am in it uh so i'm i'm probably going to change i'm going to try other words maybe

Speaker 7

get these kids that's mine

Speaker 2

they

Speaker 4

that's mine but because

Speaker 5

you never know if that's just the first one you said that made them take off yeah they're already used to that one and it and our times are slowly we're we're adding

Speaker 0

hundreds of a second

Speaker 4

every week so

Speaker 0

i don't know we're trying to find the right combo of guys you know there's a

Speaker 2

lot of different combos and and i i feel like i have a lot of power you know a lot is on the on my shoulder and so much of sport is not just ability but um collaboration and

Speaker 5

how people uh uh managing teams and i'm really excited to see you be be good at that thank you

Speaker 2

thank you sam the man weatherman

Speaker 4

yeah

well for those who don't know me my name is sam weatherman and i am the best teacher at this goddamn school in the past i've

Speaker 2

created a museum a spa part of the body is goddamn

Speaker 4

i don't think it is a

Speaker 1

a spa i was the mental health expert at a school i've been to the louvre i've done many many special things in the world i'm a

Speaker 5

museum

Speaker 3

driver's rewriting of history well i have been there a

Speaker 4

one way to

Speaker 2

say it blew up i've been to the louvre i'm not gonna tell everybody everything right away i'm just giving them an intro that's bad rat

Speaker 4

that was

Speaker 2

bad bad rat bad rat bad rat

Speaker 4

i've been to louvre but i blew it up

Speaker 1

bad rat bad

Speaker 4

rat

Speaker 1

bad rat anyway so i am a big mental health advocate i am a big uh helpful teacher at the campus sure i was a driver's ed teacher but i think the kids knew they could kind of come to me for anything

Speaker 4

yeah yeah i'm excited um

Speaker 2

because there's not a lot of driving here uh it's a walking campus

Speaker 4

yeah walking so i think that takes away kind of your addiction a little bit it does and a lot of kids are dropped off by their driver in the morning so that's nice i just don't have to deal with a lot of the craziness of the loop and all that stuff

Speaker 2

i will say i do love the image when i'm getting up in the morning i'm having my coffee i'm putting on my nice cold t -shirt i look out the window and you're having a cig with the drivers and just chatting with them

Speaker 4

leaning one foot against the car sometimes you're trying to get both feet against there's nothing like a taxi line and all these private drivers wish they were taxi drivers

Speaker 2

like i

Speaker 0

do so we're out there we're shooting the shit we're turning on our little cb radios as loud as they can go we're smoking a pack five packs an hour and we're just having a blast this is salt of the earth you stand out there you sweat your fucking ass off and then you get back in the car and turn your ac way down so everybody has to deal with it yeah

just

Speaker 2

um uh is there something you're really excited for being around because i i know that you've always had a bit of a i'll say a an overground beef with um the hierarchy of the moneyed class

Speaker 4

you're a blue -collar guy yeah yeah i've never really been good with authority because all that is is just trying to control people for your gain so if anyone tries to fucking touch me at this school i will break their

Speaker 2

ass okay so you're not doing well with it

Speaker 4

yeah i mean listen but you're trying to teach these kids how to stand up for themselves

Speaker 5

how to not

Speaker 1

be taken advantage of

Speaker 5

by the man that's part of the law of the

Speaker 4

system yeah exactly you want them to know the system the system's rotten from the core yes and you want to know

Speaker 5

that so that they can now learn how to use

Speaker 3

it because i'll say this i'll say this one thing rich people's kids need to learn is how to take advantage of the system

Speaker 5

yeah that's the thing that they need to learn everyone should and these people they come to this school they've probably seen their parents get away with murder and they're coming here like how do

Speaker 3

i get but i feel like they're trying to change i and i you can hope i feel like they are souring

Speaker 5

on their wealth

Speaker 4

they're souring on their wealth the winds of change are blowing well they're at the perfect age they're rebelling from their parents and their parents are so rich

and

Speaker 5

these kids are they they think differently than us you know they're they're gen z they're gen a

yeah

Speaker 2

gen

Speaker 5

is

Speaker 1

that after

Speaker 5

what does it just go to the

Speaker 2

output what are they going to do after z

Speaker 1

they started way too late with

Speaker 5

x what they were like this is

Speaker 1

gen x yeah why are we starting it x y z

Speaker 5

and then this millennial oh where

Speaker 1

no

Speaker 4

oh all of us all of us

Speaker 5

one two

Speaker 4

three x y shoot these pants don't even have a zipper remind me to put a

Speaker 5

zip oh wait hold on yeah we just cut button

Speaker 4

flies

Speaker 5

we're here with button

Speaker 3

flies oh this is button fly actually that's that okay it's okay i was

Speaker 5

i was saying okay no wonder they that okay we've had a few days that they roasted your ass about having a zipper

Speaker 3

yeah and and this is actually a good segue to what i think we should maybe go over after the break is

Speaker 5

some of the code of conduct uh that this school has sort of imposed on us as teachers and the students this school is very strict uh and some stuff that like you wouldn't think you'd have to tell people but there is there's a pretty strict code of conduct so we're gonna go to get lunch it's amazing lunch whatever we want

Speaker 7

amazing sandwiches amazing coffee i mean none of it all of it on china plates no there's no plastic thank god

Speaker 2

thank god yeah it's it's very green here

Speaker 5

uh every time

Speaker 4

you finish your meal you see a wrestler from the late 90s early 2000s not punching somebody i can't believe she picks up every tab i think that is fantastic

Speaker 2

every meal on china it's good for her

Speaker 4

unbelievable um but yeah we'll uh x y b's uh examine our buttons and why don't we why don't we go grab some lunch take a little break and we'll come back for the second half of this

Speaker 2

great

Speaker 4

Speaker 1

what

want

Speaker 5

to talk

i

here is what i'm really excited for this uh school

Speaker 1

about

Speaker 0

year uh and kind of

Speaker 2

what our cell was here is they've got the leaders of the future competition every year

Speaker 1

here every year uh where all the private schools in hamilton in the adjacent hamilton area compete with each other in various physical mental emotional and political events to see who are the best kids

Speaker 3

right which of course i mentioned before the academic decathlon is a part of again it's not a physical competition there are physical contests but it is a the mental sort of uh intelligence side of the competition the

Speaker 5

winner is well -rounded you can't just be smart and rule the world you can't just be strong and rule the world you can't just be emotionally intelligent rule the world

Speaker 4

how are you going to get into one of the top ivy league schools like clemson if you're not getting these little things on your

Speaker 2

transcript yes and so we are going to help build well -rounded students um i'm personally excited um uh i i wanted to kind of share with our audience and you guys share after my near -death experience i've turned over a new leaf

Speaker 5

are

Speaker 2

you talking about what

Speaker 5

happened at the end of last season or

Speaker 2

no one reason i don't really remember how that one ended none of us do no i think it was a nuclear explosion which why don't you tell us what you're talking about yeah um well um i was being intimate with a woman

Speaker 3

um conversation

Speaker 2

uh no physically

Speaker 3

in um

Speaker 7

in the bedroom

Speaker 3

um

Speaker 1

oh and she started to um unbutton my suspenders

Speaker 2

ooh la la

Speaker 5

and those things are tight so they're whipping up to the ceiling clapping on the ceiling

Speaker 4

and it's not just one button it's it's a 30 piece it's a

Speaker 3

button

Speaker 5

30

Speaker 4

suspender which is um i saw

Speaker 3

on a well you need them to secure

Speaker 2

i need them to secure my

Speaker 3

pants get my pants filled down i tried four button suspenders

Speaker 5

grab your pants up it was called pop pop pop pop pop that's what it was called pop pop pop

Speaker 2

um and when she removed the suspenders they popped to the ceiling

Speaker 5

you gotta get a little bit longer it's not that you're uh head overweight it is that they are you think the strap is too short yeah

Speaker 1

they're there it's creating too

Speaker 5

tautness yeah it's

Speaker 4

much

Speaker 1

taut okay

Speaker 4

yeah well i will also say your pants hit the ground so hard that they indented the floor because just the elasticity of the pull from the suspender

Speaker 2

yes

Speaker 5

so it was too it's like when a boat is tied have you seen how these they're wrapped uh flattened steel and it comes through and it's just like

Speaker 3

bang and it like throws men to their deaths

Speaker 2

yes that's exactly what happened to me almost

Speaker 5

thank god it was

Speaker 2

thank god it's like rolled steel coil

Speaker 5

it was like right and that was what happened and so indented the ground shot it up to the ceiling

Speaker 2

the reverse of both of them came back and bill has covet

Speaker 5

they don't care about it at this school

Speaker 2

you can add it too the richer you get the less it matters but they do tell you at the end of every email that make sure you're being safe be say all the kids tell you that right before they get coven and come over to your house

Speaker 1

Speaker 6

Speaker 4

scared it was just thorough that i was gonna die too and it was such a near -death experience for me you were close to you with you this is one of my greatest fears that i will also die when i'm very close to someone

Speaker 5

yes when somebody

Speaker 2

gets blown to smithereens right in front of you

Speaker 4

it makes

Speaker 3

yeah it oftentimes i am covered in blood and little pieces of human

Speaker 2

yeah and i'm like i'm like oh my god that could have been me that could have been me or someone's like hey they died uh early of some sort of sickness and i go what was it is it something i could get oh also i'm sorry you lost them um

Speaker 7

that that one that one

Speaker 2

second but but um uh ever since then i have changed my ways and i think it's been helpful for this school but i have become

Speaker 7

a good man i've reversed my behaviors i've seen the error of my ways and i wrote a play about it that we're going to be doing for the uh performance art portion of the future

Speaker 3

leaders and it's been approved the script's been approved by the uh committee and everything

Speaker 2

um approval is so nebulous

Speaker 3

you know what i mean uh early in the process we've got a

Speaker 5

they're still kind

Speaker 2

few weeks

Speaker 3

of right they do give the kids full creative control to see if they're going to fall on their face or not

Speaker 2

yes so um uh right now the tentative title is um todd bless us all um

Speaker 5

i get it right

Speaker 4

and

is about

Speaker 5

it

my kind of i oh i i'm gonna get this

Speaker 2

um the play

Speaker 5

and i'll say that loudly

Speaker 2

i've seen all of your plays and i think you are a fantastic artist and the way you're talking about this one i can tell this is gonna be the first one i really get thank you i and thank you for because i didn't i don't get my last plays anymore because i'm a new man that was a

Speaker 4

disgusting man that wrote this is a man who wants the students to succeed and wants them to beat ai once you become a new man that old man wasn't you

Speaker 2

oh

Speaker 4

yeah you don't have to take responsibility for those old things you're a new guy now

Speaker 2

everything's different that was me before now i change

Speaker 4

machine gun kelly this is what machine gun kelly says he got a full body tattoo and he's a different man and he's not responsible for any of the awful music he made before

Speaker 2

this and look at who he gets to kiss yeah

Speaker 4

oh megan kelly oh megan kelly that one of the greatest hollywood

Speaker 3

megan gun kelly

Speaker 4

megan gun

Speaker 3

kelly

Speaker 5

now his wife this is interesting not to to cut you up but that's that the the machine gun kelly defense is something that you've been talking a lot about in your law classes

Speaker 4

oh yeah it's much like the chewbacca defense it's my a lot of these other famous

Speaker 5

defenses kelly's kelly defense too hairy it's from south park it's from south park oh yeah but it is from yeah um

Speaker 2

too hairy to do this

there's there's the classic um you know pleading insanity you can you can

Speaker 4

you know

really plead all kinds of things

Speaker 2

the snickers defense famously

Speaker 4

hangry snickers i'm

Speaker 2

hangry hangry turn me into joe pesci for a second

Speaker 4

yeah god i

Speaker 2

wish i wish you know how many people i tried to do that too when i was an agent in hollywood

Speaker 4

i tried to get people

Speaker 2

you made them hangry so they would turn into into pesci

Speaker 4

finally they'd book something these losers end up not

Speaker 5

booking i drop them like a catering in the morning if you want to act good starve yourself go into that first scene go into rehearsal

Speaker 7

you gotta be careful

Speaker 2

yeah i love i love that defense and i love um uh like modernizing the law

Speaker 0

the law is so stodgy when you reference old cases uh um

Speaker 7

because

Speaker 2

the state of california versus todd

Speaker 4

podre what women versus todd podre when was that from what

Speaker 2

uh mgm studios uh department of human resources versus todd

Speaker 4

and this is like from way

Speaker 2

longer like 2021 like like this stuff that doesn't apply anymore you're a new mgk you're a new guy yes and so now it's modern names that people recognize i think

Speaker 4

the students will be plugged in that question for you todd just for legalese purposes are you thinking about an identity change physically because i know you've changed from the inside out but you still kind of look like the same guy

Speaker 2

i don't know if you're going to be able to have plausible d i have to look different not just behave different

Speaker 4

ideally okay i mean honestly you could just look different and not behave different that would be my ideal

Speaker 2

i don't want to change the big eyebrows

Speaker 4

here i'd like to keep the same sorry big eyebrow

Speaker 2

here i'd like to keep the same i guess body weight i could shift sure you could go up yeah i can't go down

Speaker 4

i

Speaker 0

hit body bottom

Speaker 1

think i

Speaker 4

the definition of rock bottom you're so weak you lay on the floor constantly

Speaker 2

i couldn't lift a rock

Speaker 4

and i am a rock you're right a bunch of birds sit on me and uh bleep on me which i think i i really think is making you more vulnerable it is like making you sort of a man of the people salt of the earth literally part of the earth and i think literally salt i'm being used for salt a little bit yeah yeah like on a cold road sometimes they'll throw you down

Speaker 2

to dry

bit a lot of him and

Speaker 5

it up a little

todd

Speaker 4

so i think you're doing a great job

Speaker 2

and i think this identity shift will be really

Speaker 5

helpful and i have your back we trust or blessed

Speaker 4

todd with

Speaker 2

todd bless america todd bless america and todd we trust is nice

Speaker 5

i

Speaker 3

like

Speaker 5

that maybe todd bless america colon and todd

Speaker 3

and now as a

Speaker 2

changed man i would assume then that your approach to sort of putting this play on is probably going to be different i would assume that's a great you won't be in it we'll hit those bleeps and bleeps on uh bleep soon but yeah um i will uh not be in this

Speaker 3

one wow it will be

Speaker 4

an ai of me starring in it uh and just as well as a student playing me and we'll see which one is more authentic wow you know this isn't for todd but i think for the other guys i think we should be careful saying in todd we trust because giving him sort of a god punk complex more than

Speaker 2

he already

Speaker 3

has might be

Speaker 4

not good

Speaker 3

yeah i don't know if i want to i i i will see we'll see how it goes todd i hope you are i hope all the things you're saying are actually true and it's not just another way for you to manipulate the world around you to fit your sort of perspective and needs

Speaker 4

and thank you for not listening just there we did see you sort of glaze over and i really

Speaker 5

appreciate it yeah

Speaker 2

you said this wasn't for me so i went somewhere else for

Speaker 5

a while

Speaker 2

i feel like this is new though the world is new it's a new time i feel like the world is changing so much that i feel like uh this could be very good for the student i think so too i think them seeing that i am willing to change

Speaker 5

is

Speaker 4

really helpful for them um and even that word manipulate what are the first three letters in that word

Speaker 2

uh

Speaker 4

so when

Speaker 5

it's a

Speaker 1

female piece of the body the bleep goes

Speaker 4

bleep females are beautiful

Speaker 2

right beautiful bleep right

Speaker 4

it's i mean

at michael angeles david ugly little penis

Speaker 1

look

Speaker 2

but look at the venus de milo

Speaker 3

well have you seen todd your face when you just

Speaker 2

talked about the venus de milo was shock gorgeous although it's the female figure it's been years that's all they

Speaker 5

do but have you seen the penis de milo

Speaker 2

but

Speaker 5

i want to razzy for it

Speaker 7

oh you are a

Speaker 4

good sculptor

Speaker 2

i love to throw clay but yeah i i overall

Speaker 4

that's like a good sculptor is he just good at titles because it didn't really look it

Speaker 5

seems like okay this isn't for todd he's not listening

Speaker 4

todd is getting really good at not listening when it's

Speaker 5

not

Speaker 4

for him

Speaker 5

it's very when he's getting notes something's on the ceiling what's up there todd what is up there come back

Speaker 0

to us

Speaker 1

oh sorry

Speaker 2

i just thought i was we are talking about your personality disorders you are obsessed with the rafters you never know what's

Speaker 5

above you well i appreciate that and i think like excellence is what we're looking for here we want to have the most excellent students we want people to go that's where you send your kid if you want them to be taken care of you don't have to obsess over their education go there and let the best and brightest minds mold them and that's what i'm trying to do with the boys as you guys know as part of the competition uh there is a rowing part

Speaker 3

oh yeah it's right before crew they call right before public speaking

Speaker 5

which is and it's the same people doing both

Speaker 4

it's part of the relay they

Speaker 5

help right out oh you think you're you think when you're president you just are not tired when you get up there to talk

Speaker 4

they don't show you how big the stairs are right leading up to the podium

Speaker 5

joe biden's not old he's been rowing yeah

Speaker 4

that's right i've totally forgot about that

Speaker 1

that

Speaker 5

right on

joe joe joe joe

Speaker 4

we did it

Speaker 3

joe we did it joe meant ran really far before they won

Speaker 2

it's a bit

Speaker 3

of an iron man

Speaker 2

challenge yeah if you if you pan down on kamala running shoes running

Speaker 5

shoes

Speaker 2

all the time focus but i think i think with my boys what i'm focusing on everybody can row obviously there are a bunch of schools out there they can row they're very fast

Speaker 7

but what makes the difference are hundreds of a second and it's that last hundredth of a second that what is what puts you

Speaker 3

ahead it's who wants it more it's that everybody's good

Speaker 5

everybody's good i'm inspired but you've got to be a hundredth of a second better

Speaker 2

that's what's separating you

Speaker 5

from two hundred thirty thousand three thousand million billion dollars and then simply five billion let him cook i but oh actually take my eggs off those shouldn't be cooking that long that's burning but i'm just saying

Speaker 2

you're not gonna be able to clean that

Speaker 5

pan if we take them off now so what me and my boys are looking for it's not only the correct form it's not only the the the row the muscle the long reach it is the oars it is the way the oars connect to the boat of course you really know what you're talking about the

Speaker 4

angle at the and we're talking about the boats

Speaker 0

i am perfecting

Speaker 5

this boat there i it's handmade you guys know who's making it he's the best woodworker in hamilton and i went straight to the source uh

Speaker 2

geppetto geppetto

Speaker 4

wow wow that was a genius move believe and as long as the 50th is working on well that's incredible as long as you know the truth for the whole

Speaker 2

season as long as you tell the truth for the whole season this should be a fantastic year for you oh

Speaker 5

does this geppetto have the same rules

geppetto i walk in there he's he's he cried i have to cheer him up he's crying i want

Speaker 4

you can't lie

Speaker 3

to get i want to get out well the crickets and then the crickets his

Speaker 6

son went to the island of misfit toys or whatever

Speaker 3

and the crickets deceased and the yeah

Speaker 5

jimmy but did he want a son first

Speaker 3

yes he wanted a son right it depends on the adaptation of

Speaker 2

well this is an original jay this is this is this is this is

Speaker 3

pinocchio's great great grandson this is geppetto with a j not a g this is

Speaker 5

jay petto yeah jay petto j dot petto

Speaker 4

no and his sidekick isn't jimmy cricket it's jimmy glick it's

Speaker 1

jimmy glick it and j dot petto no it's a big it's jay i call him jet it's jay but it's geppetto junior junior junior it's like the fourth or something but he's in there he said i want a kid i want to give him a kid we got to get to work we got to get to work you keep trying to make a real boy blah blah blah do whatever you got

Speaker 3

to do in here but we're working on the canoe today plant is this great great great damn it

Speaker 4

really does but anyway you guys got to come see this boat beautiful we're just now sourcing the wood beautiful cherry wood wow just we're drying it now

Speaker 1

it's bleep

Speaker 5

we're dry

Speaker 1

it's going to be beautiful and then we're going to shellac then we're going to paint it's not going to have a single it's going to be the smoothest thing you've ever seen and it's going to take our boys right into

Speaker 2

a really so you're more focused on everybody together making the boat than on the rowing and the strategy there

Speaker 5

no we're working

Speaker 2

on rowing

Speaker 5

but i think the boat is very very important because you can get your row together all you want if you don't have the right equipment that thing's not going to glide and as you guys know it's that that that lake gets rough

Speaker 2

they're

Speaker 3

not doing it on an easy lake no yeah this is a double black diamond lake and i'll say this they keep i'll say this i'll say this they keep calling it a lake but i believe the like geological definition of a lake is a a

Speaker 5

body of water surrounded by land and this one is for sure

Speaker 4

very

Speaker 5

yeah very much headed straight to

much an active

Speaker 3

river

water

Speaker 4

yeah i don't have you seen those videos of the hull over inlet yeah oh

Speaker 7

my god florida boat ramp where people come in and out of nearly every boat sinks i want to say it looks pretty familiar

Speaker 5

though i have a hamilton inlet it a sport fisherman goes down there once a day

Speaker 4

trying to get out your boats are so much lighter oh yeah but we're going to do it on a smooth day it's going to be fine

Speaker 5

and it's like it's like training at altitude you guys are training in one of the hardest most difficult places in the world

Speaker 2

yes and when you go anywhere else it's going to be easy or maybe yes incredible incredible stuff i know we're a little limited uh by time here

Speaker 4

so i do want to kind of let everyone know what you guys are up to before we end the episode well you know as i'm working with the kids on copyright law and um parody law and everything i'm i'm pitching them things to work on as creative projects so one of the things that i'm having all the kids do is come up with a new theme song for the school this year and one of the first ones that's been submitted i really liked so i was going to share that with you guys if

Speaker 3

that's awesome oh fantastic yeah i'd love to hear it okay i'm just going to go ahead and hit play here oh

Speaker 6

all right

all my students are a bullfrog they are all good friends of mine i never really listen to a word they said but i make them take my class

Speaker 4

great

one of the kids submitted that

Speaker 6

really

Speaker 4

whoa that

Speaker 2

that was awesome

Speaker 4

thank you so much that was that's my the front runner

Speaker 2

one of the kids submitted one that starts with all my students are a bullfrog

Speaker 5

yeah

Speaker 2

but it was nothing up there for you it was written oh we're looking i was

rafters again i think i get i get where he's at there i

Speaker 3

looking at the

Speaker 4

but

Speaker 5

go

that's because that's good that's

Speaker 3

a cool project too to go

Speaker 5

sounds a lot like uh jeremiah was a bullfrog that song what's i don't know who's saying i feel like that's

Speaker 2

a song i think i think you're just thinking of the song i just sang you're thinking of jeremy by pearl jam

Speaker 5

oh i at this point it's jeremy oh okay

Speaker 4

okay oh jeremy that's

Speaker 6

really good well i think there should be a new song obviously a new alma mater uh uh uh or or what is that

Speaker 3

fight song fight song yeah like what's the thing that you like it's like a poem almost but it's your school's uh rap

Speaker 5

yeah

Speaker 4

hamilton a school rap you're talking about hamilton yes yeah or it's like uh you it's like uh yeah it's like a

Speaker 2

fight yeah pledge that kind of like a school pledge uh the new school pledge will be

Speaker 4

all my students are a bullfrogs yeah the bullfrogs live in the dirty mud the bullfrogs will not take no crud the bullfrogs will eat your dod the bullfrogs go

Speaker 2

bullfrogs wow something like that i could go take the field right now

Speaker 5

yes yes that's a fight song

Speaker 2

wow

Speaker 5

sam so we're a

Speaker 4

little more focused on the songs than the law well you have to get the art

Speaker 2

out there and then you check the legal you never want to start legal you want to do it and then you want to check the legal totally

Speaker 4

i love that um as an artist myself i i love uh putting art into other things in the world i think

Speaker 3

that's

Speaker 0

where we're falling apart is the battle between art and commerce

Speaker 2

mm -hmm um and yeah i'm really excited going into the uh the students what is it called voices of the future leaders of the future leaders

Speaker 3

of the future competition because obviously we talked about i'm i'm doing the uh academic decathlon which is a huge part of it my hope is going into my next meeting with the crew uh is to actually get them to focus on uh the the task at hand um and and lean a little further away from being a sort of like uh misfit band of uh of mean people

Speaker 5

so i'm hoping that i can get people on task so we can get to work so you're sort of the contractor and we're sort of the sub contractors of like you're kind of you're overseeing the the bit the thing as a whole

Speaker 6

and getting the people to come together and fight together

Speaker 5

because we obviously have our rowers we or do they all do everything uh it's but it's around it

Speaker 0

it's like

Speaker 3

the rowers do do the public speaking but not all of them do yeah they pass the baton yeah the examiner catalan it's it's a it's a competition it's just a competition for for

Speaker 2

intelligence

Speaker 4

and they're getting worried about all these bullfrogs at the window

Speaker 2

oh gee

Speaker 3

why are we recording in howard's room

Speaker 4

we

Speaker 5

have

Speaker 4

so we have the ac turned around

Speaker 2

in here i mean it's good for the skin i want to say this because here's what i've been thinking about is i really want this podcast to be more popular it would be

Speaker 5

a lot for me financially um and emotionally and one thing i've noticed is engagement

Speaker 0

help so here's what i want all of our listeners to do send howard some helpful videos on leadership that you've seen out there yeah

Speaker 1

send and i think this will really help with uh this academic videos and articles on engagement that you can send howard to learn about leadership

Speaker 3

that'd be awesome yeah you know i've got plenty of time i love to look at the internet uh and if you have any maybe fight song pitches for our

Speaker 4

school you can send

Speaker 2

those

Speaker 5

send a fight song pitch for sam over there yeah
