SPEAKER_02 1:42

So then we're gonna have to uh find uh a title from those seconds that Yeah, which will be the only line you don't have much to pick from.

SPEAKER_03 1:55

No, that's true.

SPEAKER_08 1:56

So the only line that I managed to get recorded and into the episode, that's gonna be the title. If that's what you want, then you're free to go.

SPEAKER_08 2:26

My lack of experience.

SPEAKER_02 2:37

95.

SPEAKER_08 2:38

195.

SPEAKER_02 2:39

195.

SPEAKER_08 2:40

1995.

SPEAKER_02 2:41

Yeah. Best movie.

SPEAKER_08 2:42

I was alive.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

Oh, yeah. Me too.

SPEAKER_08 2:44

The best movie was that one that I like. That's it. I'm sticking with that one.

SPEAKER_02 2:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 2:51

Which one is that?

SPEAKER_02 2:52

You don't like Toy Story, or do you?

SPEAKER_08 2:55

I like the first two, but when the third one came out, it got too much. Okay. I was pregnant as well at the time. And I I feel like I've cried every time. It's not that I don't like the franchise.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 3:09

I like the movies.

SPEAKER_04 3:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 3:11

But I just kind of stopped there because I was afraid I was afraid of the next ones.

SPEAKER_02 3:16

Yeah, okay. Well, I must say that the third one is probably the most emotional one.

SPEAKER_08 3:27

So Yeah, I don't trust anything else after that.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

No. But I have to say I I'm a little disappointed by the last two.

SPEAKER_08 3:36

And uh because you saw the fifth one.

SPEAKER_02 3:38

I did this week.

SPEAKER_08 3:39

Yesterday.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

Yeah, maybe it was yesterday.

SPEAKER_08 3:42

Maybe it was the day before.

SPEAKER_02 3:43

Yeah, I think it was the day before because I was talking to my niece yesterday.

SPEAKER_08 3:48

That's interesting thing to do.

SPEAKER_02 3:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 3:52

How often do you talk to your niece?

SPEAKER_02 3:54

Yeah, I mean uh You're a lonely guy. I am. And knee number one and knee number two.

SPEAKER_08 4:01

Yeah, the lefty and righty.

SPEAKER_02 4:02

The interesting thing is that my niece left me before I went to the movies.

SPEAKER_08 4:08

That is unfortunate. They were too tired. My knees are too tired. I'm gonna leave them on the bus. And I'm just gonna roll to the next one. Okay. That's an unfortunate situation.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:28

But the first Toy Story came out in 95.

SPEAKER_02 4:31

Yes. And I also like uh Rumble in the Bronx.

SPEAKER_08 4:34

That is a movie.

SPEAKER_02 4:36

Very cool.

SPEAKER_08 4:36

We saw it.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

I saw Rush Hour, which did not come out in 95.

SPEAKER_02 4:47

No, 98. 98.

SPEAKER_08 4:49

98. I was thinking 97. But 98 was probably my second choice. Yeah. And then I would have given up.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 4:57

If I was wrong.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

No.

SPEAKER_08 5:01

SPEAKER_08 5:06

We'll get there. It was one of the two. Okay. I can't exactly tell you which one it was. No. I'm not gonna sit here and argue with you over which year we think it could be.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

No.

SPEAKER_08 5:20

That's a matter of opinion. Yeah.

unknown 5:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 5:23

Is it uh I don't think it's a fact.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

No, no.

SPEAKER_08 5:25

You th you would think. You think it came out.

SPEAKER_02 5:28

SPEAKER_08 5:37

No, I didn't either.

SPEAKER_02 5:38

SPEAKER_08 5:40

I didn't even find it while I was going through my mom's movies.

SPEAKER_04 5:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 5:44

Last time I was there. Because I was thinking if I find it, I'm gonna keep it.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 5:49

But that didn't happen.

SPEAKER_02 5:50

Okay. So you didn't have it?

SPEAKER_02 5:57

Yeah. But I didn't.

SPEAKER_08 6:12

Look what I found.

SPEAKER_02 6:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

I'm keeping it.

SPEAKER_08 6:21

Okay. Well, can I also keep it? Can we keep it in here and then just say that we share custody of this movie?

SPEAKER_02 6:30

Yeah. That's what I was afraid you would say. So that's what it never told me.

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 12:13

The Shadow's Edge.

SPEAKER_03 12:15

Yep.

SPEAKER_08 12:15

Which, I mean, it sounds like a movie I've already seen. What are other Shadow and Edge movies by Jackie Chan?

SPEAKER_02 12:24

I mean, the The Knight of Shadows is like the first one that comes to mind. Um, but that's not Edge.

SPEAKER_08 12:32

No, but it's a Shadow.

SPEAKER_02 12:34

Uh Snake and the Eagle Shadow.

SPEAKER_08 12:37

Mm-hmm. Uh the Shaolin one.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 12:46

What was that one?

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Shaolin Woodenmen.

SPEAKER_08 12:49

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 12:50

Shadowy Wooden Men. Yeah. Something like that. And then there's other things. Yeah. We watched the movie and it was really good.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 12:59

Yeah. It was. Jackie was in the movie.

SPEAKER_03 13:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 13:03

And there was another older guy in the movie and a bunch of teenagers.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 13:09

Who were uh stealing things.

SPEAKER_02 13:13

Yeah, they were robbing banks.

SPEAKER_08 13:14

Like Oh yeah, that too. Like money. Stealing money.

SPEAKER_02 13:18

Or like crypto.

SPEAKER_08 13:19

Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They did that.

SPEAKER_02 13:22

Yeah. They were like hackers and and could do those things.

SPEAKER_08 13:27

The things that they do. They and things with the Jackie. Jackie got together uh uh undercover crew and um was taking care of one specific police lady.

SPEAKER_02 13:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 13:41

So that's what happened.

SPEAKER_02 13:43

Yeah, that's what happened. And this movie kind of reminded me a little bit of uh new police story.

SPEAKER_08 13:49

Teenagers.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

Yeah. Teenagers robbing banks. He has a younger uh partner that he's uh teaming up with and uh chasing the bank robbers.

SPEAKER_08 14:00

That he has a long story with.

SPEAKER_02 14:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:03

Yeah, the partner.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:05

Yep. But he's aware of it this time.

SPEAKER_00 14:07

Yeah, he he is.

SPEAKER_08 14:08

Anyway, we watched this movie on Friday and then on Saturday I didn't see you. Oh yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before we saw the movie, we were gonna go for a walk.

SPEAKER_02 14:21

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:22

We were gonna try to find a trail on the way to the city and we ended up walking towards the city.

SPEAKER_01 14:29

Yeah, the trail to the city.

SPEAKER_08 14:32

Yeah, the bike path to the city is not the same trail that we were looking for.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

No, but we I think we pretty much figured out where we should have which turn we should have taken.

SPEAKER_08 14:43

Pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

Yeah, but then we just kept on going and we caught the next bus to the city. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 14:50

So yeah, but Sunday I worked in Stockholm for the first time, and that was interesting because it was chaotic and I had never worked in that location before.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 15:05

But I survived.

SPEAKER_02 15:06

Yeah. How five hours. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 15:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:10

How did it go finding your way in Stockholm?

SPEAKER_08 15:13

Um, not great.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 15:15

I still wandered circles and then actually getting to Stockholm was like issues.

SPEAKER_00 15:22

Okay. Because that's usually the easiest part.

SPEAKER_08 15:25

Yeah, I know. But I went into the city to catch the train to Stockholm. I had booked a seat on this train.

SPEAKER_03 15:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 15:34

And I had been standing there waiting for like 20 minutes for the train to arrive. It arrives, and then I have to find my specific seat. I have to find the right train car to go into.

SPEAKER_07 15:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 15:46

And as I'm, you know, going down the tracks trying to find the right train car, it closes its doors and leaves without me.

SPEAKER_03 15:56

Oh.

SPEAKER_08 15:56

But I had my eye on another train on another track that was leaving just a few minutes later that I think I would have rather gone with anyway.

SPEAKER_03 16:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 16:07

So I uh got myself a ticket for that and took that train instead.

SPEAKER_02 16:12

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 16:13

Which was nice.

SPEAKER_02 16:14

Yeah, I mean, if it's better, then it's better.

SPEAKER_08 16:17

Yeah. So I took that train into Stockholm and I did my shift, and then I found my way back to the trains, and I took pretty much the same train back, but I had a different ticket. I was just testing it out, see if it would work, and it didn't work. I had to buy another ticket on top of that. So Yeah. And it's so awkward.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 16:41

When you've got the guy like standing there, like waiting for you to buy another ticket, and I'm like, I'm so sorry. And like, I uh I didn't even know. And he's like, Oh, well, it's not me, you have to apologize to next time you're gonna get like a fine.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 16:56

It's like, okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

So they they keep track of that?

SPEAKER_08 17:01

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

No.

SPEAKER_08 17:02

No, that I feel like he was being nice this time, but he was like so you could tell he was bored of his job and he was bored of the BS that I'm sure that everyone gives him. Yeah. Not everyone, but a lot of people about tickets and stuff. Yeah. He wasn't enjoying his life.

SPEAKER_03 17:19

No.

SPEAKER_08 17:20

He was a sad train guy. Anyway, I got home. I got home late. But that's just what happens.

SPEAKER_08 18:11

Um, so yeah, I I built my family and I built us a house like you do. And uh my life partner has set the stove on fire three times, even though he's the only one who likes cooking.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

Yeah. He's usually good at cooking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 18:30

Well, he has to learn.

SPEAKER_02 18:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 18:32

You can like things, but you also have to learn how to do it correctly.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Is that how he started out?

SPEAKER_08 18:37

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Maybe.

SPEAKER_08 18:39

I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever started a fire on the stove.

SPEAKER_02 18:45

Neither have I.

SPEAKER_08 18:46

Uh maybe the microwave. Okay. Popcorn?

SPEAKER_02 18:50

No, I've never done that either.

SPEAKER_08 18:52

Actually, I don't think it was me. I think someone else put popcorn in the microwave and it caught on fire.

SPEAKER_00 18:58

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 18:59

It was in there too long. That's when you know it's done, I think. Is when the popcorn catches on fire.

SPEAKER_02 19:05

Yeah. Or you go like maybe a little bit more.

SPEAKER_08 19:09

Just in case.

SPEAKER_02 19:10

Yeah, you never know.

SPEAKER_08 19:12

I like my popcorn, like I like my marshmallows. Uh. Completely engulfed in flames.

SPEAKER_02 19:19

Marshmallows are tricky though, because they can go down into the flames.

SPEAKER_08 19:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

Into the fire.

SPEAKER_08 19:25

If it's if it's too long. Yeah. And then today's Friday. Yes. It is for once. But what have you been up to other than Toy Story, which I'll probably end up keeping?

Birthday Plans And Fast Food Disasters

SPEAKER_02 22:36

Yeah. Oh yeah, your daughter had a birthday too.

SPEAKER_08 22:39

She did. Which I was going to talk about.

SPEAKER_02 22:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 22:44

You know, when I say that I didn't really do much this week, I actually meant that my daughter had a birthday. She turned 11 on the 11th.

SPEAKER_04 22:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 22:52

And we went to a trampoline park. Okay. Which was fun. She got to take a friend with her. Then we went to McDonald's only because Pizza Hut's ice cream machine wasn't working.

SPEAKER_00 23:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 23:07

You wanna know how upset I was? That everyone decided they wanted to go to McDonald's instead of Pizza Hut just because of the ice cream.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

No, uh uh yeah.

SPEAKER_08 23:15

And then we go to McDonald's, and how many people ordered ice cream? I was a bit frustrated. I also really wanted to go to Pizza Hut. Of course.

SPEAKER_02 23:24

Yeah, pizza good. But also McDonald's good.

SPEAKER_08 23:29

Yeah, I'm just I've been extremely disappointed with McDonald's for a long time. I'm gonna tell you something. Yeah. Okay? We went to uh McDonald's in Vesteros. Vester Rosh. Western Roses.

SPEAKER_02 23:44

Westerose.

SPEAKER_08 23:45

Wester Rose.

SPEAKER_02 23:47

Yeah, that's the Game of Thrones place.

SPEAKER_08 23:50

A place, uh a location pretty central. Nearby the train station. Lots of people probably go through there daily.

SPEAKER_03 23:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 23:59

This place, disgusting. Oh. The second you walk in, your feet are stuck to the floor. Sticky floors. Tables not clean.

SPEAKER_03 24:09

No.

SPEAKER_08 24:09

They have a tray system instead of throwing your own trash away.

SPEAKER_03 24:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 24:14

So already there's trash everywhere. And then you know how on the kiosks they have the option to have your food served to you or you go get the food yourself.

SPEAKER_07 24:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 24:26

We asked for getting served, or we selected served to the table and they start screaming out our numbers instead. Okay. Like at five guys.

SPEAKER_04 24:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 24:37

And we're like expecting them to bring it to us.

SPEAKER_04 24:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 24:41

And they just keep yelling out the numbers. They're not going to do that. The bathrooms in all McDonald's always.

SPEAKER_00 24:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 24:49

Disgusting. Awful.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 24:51

You're lucky if you have toilet paper in there.

SPEAKER_00 24:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:54

Huh.

SPEAKER_08 24:54

Is this not a typical experience?

SPEAKER_02 24:57

I don't know much about the bathrooms.

SPEAKER_08 25:00

You don't use bathrooms. You pee under the table.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

I I usually don't pee that much. Uh you pee every five minutes, so you should know.

SPEAKER_08 25:13

Don't make fun of me. I'm not here to be judged. No.

SPEAKER_02 25:18

But yes, I I have to say, last time I I went to McDonald's, the patties felt like eating cardboard.

SPEAKER_08 25:28

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 25:29

And uh yeah, not great. And also with the fries, I um ordered uh the cheese to dip in.

SPEAKER_08 25:38

Okay. Oh, okay, okay. Cheese dip.

SPEAKER_02 25:40

Yeah, cheese dip. And it tasted kind of tasted like like it was old.

SPEAKER_08 25:45

Oh, that's good. Cool. Yeah. Oldie cheese? That's a thing. Yeah. You know.

SPEAKER_02 25:50

But not the thing I wanted.

SPEAKER_08 25:52

No, okay. And then when we went to Mux, we went recently, like yesterday, maybe the day before. To Mux. We went to Mux and I ordered fries. I ordered sweet potato fries. The other people I was with, they also ordered fries. But they're so, so skinny.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 26:13

There's like nothing to them. They're just potato sticks. I wasn't really well, I mean, they are technically potato sticks.

SPEAKER_03 26:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 26:21

But there's a difference between like potato sticks, the chips, and fries.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 26:26

They're supposed to have like that potato inside, like mashed potato, like softer potato and not just a hollow shell of potato.

SPEAKER_02 26:36

No, okay.

SPEAKER_08 26:37

And it was just really disappointing. Okay. I want more to my fries than just a tiny little stick of potato.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

I have to say though, their uh cheese dip is way better than McDonald's.

SPEAKER_08 26:50

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I like that they have more alternatives for their food. Like, they're not just like cheeseburgers with bread and or like chicken patties that are breaded. They have the grilled chicken now that are not breaded.

SPEAKER_00 27:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 27:08

And they also have the lettuce wraps. Yeah. That makes me feel like I can still enjoy something. Yeah. And be good while eating out.

SPEAKER_04 27:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 27:19

Anyway. Today's Friday. Today's Friday. It's August 14th. We watched movies.

SPEAKER_08 28:14

He usually is. If he pops up, he's usually my favorite.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

SPEAKER_02 29:37

No. I really like this one. It's a really good movie. It's really funny and yeah, it's stupid and has a lot of heart.

SPEAKER_08 29:47

Yeah. I figured it was gonna be a lot dumber than it was.

SPEAKER_00 29:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 29:54

But it was good. It was funny, and they uh really made a point to like include the lettered people, uh like the gay culture and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 30:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 30:07

I don't know all the letters and no matter what you say, you're gonna forget about something. So I'm just gonna say the lettered people.

SPEAKER_00 30:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 30:15

You should know what I mean. All people, despite their sexual orientations.

SPEAKER_02 30:21

Yeah, exactly. And I'm thinking, so they have to prove that they're gay, but why can't they be uh uh bi? That that should count too.

SPEAKER_08 30:31

This is 2007, yeah, exactly. That's why.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

Why? I mean uh they still had bi back then.

SPEAKER_08 30:38

Yeah, yeah. Yes, yes they did. That's all.

SPEAKER_02 30:42

Yeah, okay. No, it's it's just so weird.

SPEAKER_08 30:46

Yeah, and I feel like this is always going to be an issue.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 30:51

No matter what.

SPEAKER_02 30:52

SPEAKER_04 31:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 31:16

Yeah. I know how that is. Okay. Sometimes it feels like I'm also trapped in an airport for days.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

Yeah. So this movie is based on your life.

SPEAKER_08 31:26

Pretty much. Yeah. A true story.

SPEAKER_02 31:28

Yeah. It is actually a true story.

SPEAKER_08 31:31

SPEAKER_02 31:35

No, actually someone else. I think it was in France. My friend. In France.

SPEAKER_08 31:41

Oh, okay. In Paris. I think it was your friends.

SPEAKER_02 31:45

So it might be the future you when you go to Paris.

No.

SPEAKER_08 31:56

I think I'm still there.

SPEAKER_02 31:58

Maybe.

SPEAKER_08 31:59

I left my soul in the airport.

SPEAKER_02 32:01

Yeah. This is all like a hallucination.

SPEAKER_08 32:04

I think so. You ever think about that?

SPEAKER_02 32:07

Like the Matrix?

SPEAKER_08 32:08

Yeah. Yeah. Like what if what if what if you uh died in a terrible car accident, but your like uh soul?

SPEAKER_03 32:19

SPEAKER_08 32:20

Or like, you know, your just existence keeps going in some kind yeah, in some kind of weird hallucination or other dimension. Like we're really just uh stuffed animals. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:34

If you think about it. I mean uh this is w what is it? Multiverse thing. I mean, when I think that if if you die, that's another multiverse without you. And you all the close calls you had, those uh actually were accidents in other universes. Yeah. So it's just this one that keeps ongoing.

SPEAKER_08 33:01

Yeah. And you're like never actually aware of what actually happened to you.

SPEAKER_02 33:06

No, yeah, exactly. So in I could have died several times already. Yeah, me too. And in some uh universe, I'm s really sad because you died.

SPEAKER_08 33:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:17

And vice versa.

SPEAKER_02 35:39

Yeah. I'm going back to work.

SPEAKER_08 35:41

That's really exciting.

SPEAKER_02 35:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 35:43

I'm happy for you. Which bring brings me to the bad news. The podcast.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 35:49

It's been fun, right?

SPEAKER_03 35:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 35:51

And uh we've been doing this for the past 195 weeks.

SPEAKER_04 35:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 35:57

And we never really saw an end to it.

SPEAKER_04 36:01

Not really.

SPEAKER_08 36:02

But I feel like we're getting there.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:06

I feel like the end is near.

SPEAKER_04 36:08

Oh. Yeah, yes.

SPEAKER_08 36:10

For the podcast. But it's been fun.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

Yeah, it has been fun. And uh we have both been like um uh talking about it, and uh we agree that maybe it's the best to end it soon.

SPEAKER_08 36:26

Around 200?

SPEAKER_02 36:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:28

Because that feels like a good ending place.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

Yeah, good round number.

SPEAKER_08 36:33

Yeah. So for five more episodes, we will continue and we'll have a going away party.

SPEAKER_03 36:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:42

After that. And so that's what we've been up to.

SPEAKER_03 36:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 36:49

Is planning to kill the ghosts.

SPEAKER_02 36:52

Yeah. We're letting them go to the other side.

SPEAKER_08 36:57

Yeah. As fun as this is, it can be stressful. Yeah. And editing takes time, which is a terrible excuse.

SPEAKER_03 37:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 37:06

But I feel like it also puts a strain on our relationship as friends.

SPEAKER_03 37:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 37:15

Because something that is supposed to be fun feels more like work chores and it's too much. So, I mean, we've had fun, but it needs to come to an end.

SPEAKER_02 37:29

Yeah. Before it becomes Yeah, becomes no fun.

SPEAKER_08 37:33

Yeah. Which I feel like it might be getting to that point.

SPEAKER_02 37:37

We we had that and yeah, it's uh it it could end up there too, you know. Yeah again.

SPEAKER_08 37:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:44

And we don't want that.

SPEAKER_08 37:45

No.

SPEAKER_02 37:46

And also we we don't really have good numbers.

SPEAKER_08 37:50

No, we've been doing this for three years and like we don't have much of a following.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

No. So But we have one loyal, at least one loyal fan.

SPEAKER_08 38:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 38:01

That we're really thankful for.

SPEAKER_08 38:03

Yeah. Alright. Well, enough of that. Yeah. Back to the episode.

SPEAKER_02 38:08

Back to the good part.

SPEAKER_08 38:10

Back to the good part. Today

OpenEyes Tips For New School

SPEAKER_08 38:12

we are playing with open eyes again, as usual. And um, well, I am going back to school. And it's nervous.

SPEAKER_02 38:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 38:22

Right? Because I'm I'm going to a new school with new people and I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 38:26

Meet new friends?

SPEAKER_08 38:27

No, probably not. Maybe friends, but not besties.

SPEAKER_02 38:31

No. Good.

SPEAKER_08 38:32

I don't have enough space in my life for another person.

SPEAKER_03 38:36

No.

SPEAKER_08 38:36

So I wrote to OpenEyes. I'm going back to school soon. I'd like a crash course on how to deal with my first few days in an unfamiliar situation and people. Because I'm really nervous. I don't know how nervous I am. I am nervous, but you know, ugh, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 38:54

It's just people.

SPEAKER_08 38:55

Yeah. So open eyes says, being nervous makes sense. Your brain is basically looking at a room full of unknown variables and yelling, we have no map.

SPEAKER_02 39:05

That's what you should yell.

SPEAKER_08 39:08

I have no map.

SPEAKER_02 39:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 39:10

The good news is that the first few days are not a test of whether you can instantly fit in. They're mostly alright, never mind.

SPEAKER_02 39:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 39:19

Word I cannot pronounce.

SPEAKER_01 39:21

Uh an English word?

SPEAKER_08 39:23

Yes, an English word.

SPEAKER_02 39:24

Ah, cool.

SPEAKER_08 39:25

They're mostly English word here. Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 39:28

Any word. Oh, we can fill in the blank. Yeah, we can make it a Madlib. Madlin.

SPEAKER_08 39:34

Okay, so give me a I don't know what this word is.

SPEAKER_02 39:37

Okay. Um carpets.

SPEAKER_08 39:39

They're mostly carpet. Okay. Your first day mission is observe, participate, and survive. You only need to accomplish three things. Observe, participate, survive. Yeah, that's it. Okay, no. Number one is figure out the geography. Good luck.

SPEAKER_02 39:55

Okay. You need a map for that.

SPEAKER_08 39:58

I have no map. Find your classroom. Bathrooms, very important. That's the first place I got.

SPEAKER_02 40:04

You already know that.

SPEAKER_08 40:05

I already know where the bathroom is.

SPEAKER_02 40:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 40:07

Cafeteria, second most important. Library, whatever. Entrances, more like exits. And whatever yours wherever you're supposed to go between classes. The exit. Find the exit. Uh getting lost once is normal.

SPEAKER_02 40:27

I thought that was part of the the list. Like getting lost. Yep. Check.

SPEAKER_08 40:33

Getting lost while pretending you know exactly where you're going is also normal. Okay. So how many times can you get lost before it's unacceptable anymore? Yeah, that's like you really should know where you're going by now. Like, no, I'm still lost. I don't know where I am.

SPEAKER_02 40:49

How if you would take a guess, how many times do you think would be acceptable?

SPEAKER_08 40:55

I would hope three. It's gonna be more than that.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

Yeah, okay. Yeah, eventually.

SPEAKER_08 41:01

The whole first week, I'm gonna be like, I don't know where I am.

SPEAKER_02 41:05

Yeah, I've seen this before, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 41:08

I don't remember where I'm going. Number two, learn a few names. You don't need a whole social circle. Aim for two or three names per day. Good luck with that.

SPEAKER_02 41:17

Like random names or I hope so. Just can come up with names for people.

SPEAKER_08 41:23

Yeah, well, I'll probably usually do that. We usually do did that at work. You usually just give them a good nickname. Whatever's close enough.

SPEAKER_04 41:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 41:32

When someone introduces themselves, repeat their name naturally. Nice to meet you. Um trash guy, I guess. I think your name is. Trash Man. Nice to meet you, trash man. That's what I've been calling you for the past since I met you. Since I first saw you. Trash man. It helps your memory and makes the interaction warmer. Okay. Number three. Have tiny interactions.

SPEAKER_02 41:59

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_08 42:01

Hands.

SPEAKER_02 42:02

Have tiny hands.

SPEAKER_08 42:04

Yep. Don't aim for instant friendships. Please don't be my friend.

SPEAKER_02 42:08

No, not this fast.

SPEAKER_08 42:11

Aim for the small openings. Oh. With your tiny hands. Is this the right room?

SPEAKER_01 42:18

Wait.

SPEAKER_08 42:20

Have you had this teacher before? Do we have homework for tomorrow? Oh, these are questions you're supposed to ask other people. Oh, okay. In the classroom. So I'm gonna sit there in my seat. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna start looking at people and be like, is this the right room?

SPEAKER_01 42:37

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 42:39

Have you had this teacher before? Do we have homework for tomorrow? We haven't even started.

SPEAKER_02 42:44

This is what you ask after talking about the map thing.

SPEAKER_08 42:49

Yeah. Yeah. I have no map. Mind if I sit here? I'm already sitting. Is it okay if I sit here? What did you think of that class? We haven't started yet.

SPEAKER_01 43:02

I have no map. We're outside the school.

SPEAKER_08 43:06

Where's the nearest exit?

SPEAKER_01 43:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 43:08

I already know where the bathroom is.

SPEAKER_01 43:10

So don't tell me.

SPEAKER_08 43:12

I'll tell you.

SPEAKER_01 43:13

Yeah. Why would you tell me the bathroom?

SPEAKER_08 43:17

Don't tell me where the bathroom is. Where's the exit?

SPEAKER_01 43:21

Whatever you do. Whatever you do, don't tell me where the bathroom is.

SPEAKER_08 43:25

Show me the nearest vending machine, please.

SPEAKER_01 43:28

Oh yeah, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_08 43:29

Okay. Uh these are conversational training wheels. You can take them off later. When you feel awkward.

SPEAKER_02 43:36

Yeah, and that's when you fall fall over.

SPEAKER_08 43:39

Oh yeah. No, the next one is when you feel awkward. Oh, okay. So these are the only lines I'm gonna use for the first week. Yeah. Okay. Is this the right room?

SPEAKER_01 43:53

You're gonna read it off the list.

SPEAKER_08 43:55

Like I have no map. Is this the right room? Have you had This teacher before. We've had this teacher all week. This is by Friday. Yeah. Do we have homework for tomorrow? Stop asking. Mind if I sit here? Uh is it okay if I sit here? I think what did you think of that class? Help.

SPEAKER_02 44:18

I think at the end of the term or t'amine, you should ask those questions.

SPEAKER_03 44:24

Do we have homework?

SPEAKER_01 44:26

Have you had this teacher before?

SPEAKER_08 44:29

Can I sit here? When you feel awkward, here's an important secret. You are dramatically more visible to yourself than you are to everyone else. If you stumble over your words, walk into the wrong room, sit somewhere weird. Can I sit here? Or spend five minutes standing around looking confused. Yeah. Just five minutes. I'm gonna be there for like twenty minutes. Like, where am I? Most people will register it for approximately three seconds. Unless I'm still standing there. They're gonna be like, where are you going? What are you doing? What are you supposed to be doing? Uh if something embarrassing happens, don't conduct a courtroom trial about it in your head. I read condom.

SPEAKER_02 45:17

Okay. Don't condom it.

SPEAKER_08 45:18

Don't condom it. Think, yes, that was awkward. Anyway, then continue. Okay, but that's not gonna happen because I'm going to repeat it in my head.

SPEAKER_02 45:29

And two people.

SPEAKER_08 45:30

And two people? What?

SPEAKER_02 45:32

And uh you're gonna repeat it to people.

SPEAKER_08 45:34

Uh yeah. I'm gonna tell you all about it.

SPEAKER_02 45:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 45:37

And then it's just gonna keep going in my head, like, oh my god, why? How do I approach people when you're nervous? Look for people who are alone but not obviously trying to be alone. How do I know?

SPEAKER_03 45:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 45:50

What if they're just sitting there like, please leave me alone? Yeah. Excuse me, can I talk to you or do you want to be alone?

SPEAKER_01 45:58

Yeah. Are you alone or are you alone in there? Do you want to be alone?

SPEAKER_08 46:02

Can I talk to you? They're obvious.

SPEAKER_01 46:05

Why are you alone?

SPEAKER_08 46:06

Why are you alone? Where are we? Have you been here before? I don't have a map.

SPEAKER_01 46:12

Have you had this teacher?

SPEAKER_08 46:14

Can I sit here? Uh they're often the easiest people to approach. I don't know though. You don't need to walk up and announce yourself like you're opening diplomatic relations. Context does the work for you.

SPEAKER_07 46:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 46:28

So if you're in this situation, someone is sitting near you before class, and you say, Hey, I'm new here. Is this seat and taken? Sleet sleet taiken. Sleet tiken. That's what they'll say.

SPEAKER_03 46:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 46:43

Is this sleet taiken? You're like, sleet. Okay, the next situation is you're both waiting for a teacher. Do we even have a teacher? You say, Do you know what we're supposed to bring for this class? I don't know. The next situation, someone says something funny. You. Ha ha. Laugh. Then add, okay, that was actually good.

SPEAKER_01 47:09

Or just okay.

SPEAKER_08 47:11

Okay. Laugh. Okay. No, you just say laugh.

SPEAKER_02 47:17

Okay, laugh.

SPEAKER_08 47:17

Laugh. Okay, that was good.

SPEAKER_02 47:20

Or you can scream, disappointed!

SPEAKER_08 47:22

Disappointed. Do better. The trick is to give people something easy to respond to. Questions are excellent for this. The anxiety trick that actually matters. Uh don't wait until you feel confident before acting. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 47:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 47:39

Confidence often arrives after you've done the scary thing several times. So your goal isn't I must stop being nervous. It is I can be nervous and still do the next tiny thing.

SPEAKER_02 47:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 47:51

Whatever that means.

SPEAKER_02 47:53

Do the next tiny thing.

SPEAKER_08 47:55

I can still be nervous. That's okay. Is your heart pounding? Ask where the classroom is anyway.

SPEAKER_01 48:06

Are you still alive? Okay, you can ask anyway.

SPEAKER_08 48:09

Yeah. Are you feeling shy? Say hello anyway. Worried someone won't like you? They probably don't. No, sit down anyway. Uh whatever. Uh that's how your brain gradually learns. Oh, we apparently survived this. That wasn't the end. Oh that's all.

SPEAKER_00 48:27

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 48:27

Your first week rule don't make conclusions too early.

SPEAKER_00 48:32

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_08 48:33

If day one feels lonely, that doesn't mean you'll be lonely. That's not always true. But whatever. You might decide day one that I'm gonna be lonely. I don't get along with anyone here.

SPEAKER_02 48:44

No, and some people assume they pick up on that. Assume that you wanna be left alone.

SPEAKER_08 48:49

So I don't get along with anyone in this class. They're not my people. I'm just gonna be alone. Whatever. If everyone seems intimidating, that doesn't mean they dislike you. What if I don't like them?

SPEAKER_02 49:01

What if you look intimidating?

SPEAKER_08 49:04

I am intimidating. I've heard.

SPEAKER_02 49:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 49:07

Have I? Do people think I'm intimidating?

SPEAKER_02 49:09

No, I don't I don't think so. I haven't heard that.

SPEAKER_08 49:13

Only the people I want to intimidate find me intimidating.

SPEAKER_02 49:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 49:17

Everyone else probably doesn't.

SPEAKER_02 49:19

No. I don't find you intimidating. Should I? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_08 49:23

I should scare you.

SPEAKER_02 49:25

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_08 49:26

Okay. Um if you don't click with anyone immediately, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. That's them. Yeah, it's wrong. Something wrong with them.

SPEAKER_02 49:35

So that's why what you should ask them. What's wrong with you?

SPEAKER_08 49:38

What's wrong with you? Can I even sit here?

SPEAKER_02 49:41

Yeah. Have you had this teacher before?

SPEAKER_08 49:45

Have you ever even been here? Why are you lost? I know where I am all the time.

SPEAKER_02 49:50

I know where the bathroom is.

SPEAKER_08 49:52

I know where the bathroom is. Not the vending machine though.

SPEAKER_02 49:55

No.

SPEAKER_08 49:56

Schools have social ecosystems that take a little time to decode. Give yourself a couple of weeks, not a couple of hours.

SPEAKER_00 50:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 50:05

And remember, plenty of other people are nervous too. Some of them are simply better at wearing the totally normal human who definitely knows what they're doing costume.

SPEAKER_02 50:14

Wearing a human.

SPEAKER_08 50:16

Yep. Some people are already wearing human skin costumes. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 50:21

Cool.

SPEAKER_08 50:22

So you're not the only weirdo in the room.

SPEAKER_02 50:25

Disgusting.

SPEAKER_08 50:25

You're not disgusting. They are.

SPEAKER_01 50:27

Yeah. You're the one with the human skin costume. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 50:33

I'm the only one wearing this. How embarrassing if two people skin costume is too big for me. Gross. Aw, saggy face. Disgusting. Okay. A tiny emergence reset. If you get overwhelmed during the day, stop, breathe slowly, look around, identify the next physical action. Don't worry about how am I going to sub survive this entire school year. Just where do I need to go next? Then do that one thing. You don't have to conquer, conquer the whole school in one in day one, on day one, right? You just need to walk through the next door. Then the next one. And another door. And door and door and door. Eventually this you'll walk through the right door.

SPEAKER_02 51:25

I mean, you're gonna be so lost.

SPEAKER_08 51:27

I'm walking through all of the doors. Is this my classroom? Is this my classroom? Can I sit here? Is this my teacher? Are you my teacher? Are you my classmates?

SPEAKER_01 51:39

I know where the bathroom is.

SPEAKER_08 51:41

I know where the bathroom is. Just stick my head through the door. I know where the bathroom is. Okay, bye. Um, yeah, anyway, that's all.

SPEAKER_02 51:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 51:53

Any questions?

SPEAKER_02 51:55

Um, I don't have any questions.

SPEAKER_08 51:57

Okay, so how many times can I get lost before it gets ridiculous? Yeah. Is was the question. And open eyes says, honestly, a lot more than you think. On your first day, somewhere unfamiliar, one to two times is completely normal.

SPEAKER_00 52:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 52:13

Three to five times, still fine. You're learning the layout. Six plus times, congratulations, you've unlocked the school's hidden maze. Getting lost every day for several weeks. That's gonna that's gonna be the case. Yeah. I'm sorry. At that point, some uh probably worth asking someone to show you the route. And here's the important bit asking for directions isn't embarrassing. Are you sure? What do you mean? You can't just arrive somewhere somewhere and pretend that you know exactly where you're going.

SPEAKER_03 52:47

Exactly.

SPEAKER_08 52:47

And whatever. People generally won't think, wow, what an idiot. They'll think, yep, new person. You don't want to be the new person.

SPEAKER_03 52:55

No.

SPEAKER_08 52:55

If you're worried about it, arrive 10 to 15 minutes early the first day and use that time to locate your classrooms. Take a photo of your timetable, and if allowed, make a quick mental map of the important places. Okay, I'm gonna talk about some poor first day behavior.

SPEAKER_02 53:11

Okay.

First-Day Mistakes And How To Recover

SPEAKER_08 53:12

Which is always the fun part.

SPEAKER_02 53:13

Yeah. Okay. What not to do.

SPEAKER_08 53:15

What not to do on your first day of school. Here's the short version. Short version in quotations.

SPEAKER_00 53:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 53:22

Right. Okay, here's a list of things not to do on your first day of school. Being rude or dismissive to teachers, staff, or classmates.

SPEAKER_02 53:30

Yes. Maybe you shouldn't uh uh like uh scream, I hate school. Yeah, or brag about you know where all the bathrooms are.

SPEAKER_08 53:43

I know where the bathrooms are. Trying too hard to impress people, especially by breaking rules or making fun of others.

SPEAKER_02 53:50

Okay, yeah. The same goes for that one.

SPEAKER_08 53:53

I know where the bathrooms are.

SPEAKER_02 53:56

You don't.

SPEAKER_08 53:57

You don't know where the bathrooms are. I'm not telling you my secrets. Interrupting constantly or talking over people, ignoring instructions because you want to seem independent. I don't even need to be in this classroom. I know everything already. Uh making jokes at someone else's expense to get laughs. Oh, that's especially if you don't even know the person. It's making fun of strangers. Yeah. You're not supposed to do that. No. Getting involved in gossip or drama immediately. If there's gossip and drama that sparks the second you walk through the school, I think that says something about the other people more than you.

SPEAKER_02 54:37

Maybe. But don't get involved. I mean, if you spread it forward, maybe it's also about you.

SPEAKER_08 54:44

I mean it's gonna become about me.

SPEAKER_02 54:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 54:46

Using your phone when you're supposed to be paying attention.

SPEAKER_02 54:50

Like now? No, I'm okay.

SPEAKER_08 54:52

I have to answer my emails. I have gymnastics admin stuff I have to do. It's a lot more important than being here right now.

SPEAKER_02 55:02

Talking to open eyes.

SPEAKER_08 55:03

Talking to open eyes. Help.

SPEAKER_02 55:07

How to behave.

SPEAKER_08 55:09

How to ignore the fact that I am currently peeing myself. I will never think that's not funny.

SPEAKER_01 55:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 55:17

Um asking open eyes how to currently ignore the fact that I am peeing myself right now, like as I am typing.

SPEAKER_02 55:27

Yeah. I can picture you as like a 90-year-old. Still laughing at that. Yeah, while peeing you're associated.

SPEAKER_08 55:35

It will never not be funny.

SPEAKER_01 55:38

While peeing you're depends.

SPEAKER_08 55:41

At least at that point, it's appropriate to pee myself.

SPEAKER_01 55:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 55:45

I look forward to the day when it's okay to pee myself.

SPEAKER_01 55:48

Yeah, and laugh about it.

SPEAKER_08 55:49

And laugh about it. I pee myself.

SPEAKER_01 55:53

This takes me back.

SPEAKER_08 55:56

That one time when I asked open eyes how to ignore the fact that I am currently peeing myself. Okay, another one. Assuming people already know who you are, or expecting them to accommodate you. Do you even know who I am?

SPEAKER_01 56:11

No.

SPEAKER_08 56:12

You know who I am. How do you not know who I am? You haven't seen me before? You're like, it's me, the I have a super popular podcast.

SPEAKER_01 56:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 56:23

You don't know who I am?

SPEAKER_01 56:24

It's me, Laura. You know?

SPEAKER_08 56:26

Yeah. Refusing to okay, it says ask for help, but I was gonna read eat.

SPEAKER_02 56:31

Eat help.

SPEAKER_08 56:32

Refusing to eat.

SPEAKER_02 56:33

Eat for help.

SPEAKER_08 56:34

For help. Because you're afraid of looking new. Only the new kids eat around here.

SPEAKER_01 56:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 56:42

Judging everyone too quickly. Whoops.

SPEAKER_01 56:48

That's gonna be uh the biggest problem for you.

SPEAKER_08 56:53

Maybe out loud, I should add to that.

SPEAKER_01 56:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 56:56

I'm sure judging internally. That's a natural response to for everyone.

SPEAKER_02 57:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 57:01

Someone being quiet, awkward, loud, or unfriendly on day one tells you very little about them. Except for the fact that they are quiet, awkward, loud, or unfriendly. Is what I'm assuming.

SPEAKER_02 57:12

Yeah. At the same time.

SPEAKER_08 57:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 57:15

I'm quiet, loud, and friendly.

SPEAKER_08 57:17

I am in a nutshell. Yeah. I am quiet, awkward, loud, and unfriendly. Don't talk to me. Okay. Um, panicking over small mistakes and then letting the embarrassment control the rest of your day. Hello. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 57:35

No more comments.

SPEAKER_08 57:37

I have nothing else to say about that. No. Um, okay, one particularly sneaky one. Trying to act like you're not nervous when you actually are.

SPEAKER_02 57:47

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 57:48

Sure. Wait, uh you're not supposed to Don't pretend you're not nervous.

SPEAKER_02 57:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 57:53

Everyone's nervous.

SPEAKER_02 57:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 57:55

You don't need to perform confidence. This is an acting school. It's film school. Being polite, curious, and reasonably relaxed is plenty. What should I do if I behave badly on the first day? Let's see what happens. Yeah. That's all I have. What should I do if I happen to have bad behavior?

SPEAKER_02 58:17

Yeah. It just happens.

SPEAKER_08 58:20

Whoops. I uh don't go back. I think. If you happen to behave badly on the first day, don't turn one bad moment into a bad week.

SPEAKER_02 58:31

Okay. So you shouldn't double down on it?

SPEAKER_08 58:33

No. I'm not a quitter. I'm gonna hold on to this role the whole time. Quiet, awkward, loud, and unfriendly. Number one, stop.

SPEAKER_03 58:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 58:46

Don't keep digging the hole because you're embarrassed. Two, own it quickly. A simple sorry, that wasn't okay. Is usually much better than a high five. Five-minute explanation.

SPEAKER_02 58:59

Like, that didn't happen.

SPEAKER_08 59:01

That didn't happen. It wasn't me.

SPEAKER_02 59:03

No, that was someone else.

SPEAKER_08 59:04

It was definitely that guy.

SPEAKER_01 59:06

My twin sister.

SPEAKER_08 59:07

Yeah. She also goes to this school.

SPEAKER_01 59:10

She quit now though.

SPEAKER_08 59:12

Yeah, she went home. I'm better behaved than she is. Then everyone's gonna call you a schizo. It wasn't me. Okay, number three. Fix what you can. If you interrupted someone, let them finish. But I already interrupted them.

SPEAKER_02 59:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 59:30

So what's the point?

SPEAKER_02 59:31

I have to finish first.

SPEAKER_08 59:33

Yeah. Let me finish.

SPEAKER_02 59:37

Don't interrupt me. Yeah, you can talk later.

SPEAKER_08 59:40

Yeah. If you were rude, apologize. If you broke a rule, follow it from that point onward. What if I forgot that I broke the rule?

SPEAKER_02 59:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 59:49

Or that the rule existed to begin with.

SPEAKER_02 59:51

Yeah, someone needs to remind you.

SPEAKER_08 59:52

Please remind me. What are the rules? Don't obsess over it. Number four.

SPEAKER_02 59:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_08 59:57

Uh your brain may replay the incident in glorious 4K while everyone else has already moved on. I doubt it. I don't think they've moved on. Everyone else is repeating it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:09

As well.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:09

You've been to school before.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:11

I've done this before. I know what's going on. Number five, don't try to compensate by becoming unnaturally perfect. You don't need to spend the rest of the day acting like a Victorian diplomat. What is that?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:23

I thought you were gonna say victim.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:25

A victim. Just behave normally and respectfully. If you seriously crossed a line.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:33

If you hurt, threatened, bullied, humiliated, or deliberately damaged something, take it seriously. What if I did all the above?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:42

That that's when you're gonna play the victim.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:46

They attacked me. It wasn't my fault. Apologize where appropriate. And tell a teacher or another responsible adult that is more adult than you are. What happened? Don't try to hide it or pressure the other person to forgive you. And if you're nervous enough that you're worried you might behave badly because you panic, remember this. You are allowed to pause.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:08

You're loud.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:09

You're loud. And you need to pause.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:13

You're being unfriendly. You can say, sorry, I'm a bit nervous. Give me a second. I'm still nervous. Hold on.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:21

You could say a lot of things if you think about it.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:24

I could say whatever I wanted. Really. I could say I'm Johnny Depp if you wanted me to. I just did.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:30

Yeah. And I'm Robert Downey Jr.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:33

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:34

Cool.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:35

I think I am at least.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:36

I didn't know we met.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:40

Is this a movie?

SPEAKER_08 1:01:41

I think so.

unknown 1:01:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:43

Hello and welcome back. I am still Johnny Depp.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:46

And I'm RTJ.

SPEAKER_08 1:01:48

Cool. Alright. Well, I think that's pretty much all I had. Hopefully I can have good behavior on my first day of school and not get too lost.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:58

Okay, so are you more nervous now that you will actually be bad?

SPEAKER_08 1:02:03

I might slip up.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:04

Yeah, exactly. You you think about what not to do and do that. Yep. Just because you think about what not to do.

SPEAKER_08 1:02:13

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:14

Yeah.
