SPEAKER_01 3:57

Okay. He didn't have to squash uh.

SPEAKER_04 3:59

SPEAKER_01 4:28

You weren't doing the group chat names?

We have one, and I it was it got named before. I got I got inherited into sexual Red Cuppers?

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Oh yeah, the Red Cupers, of course.

SPEAKER_04 4:42

That's now. Yeah. That's current, the Red Cupers. But that's probably my only one. I mean, we have a couple, like, we have some that are kind of like inside jokes to make fun of other people.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Dang. And you don't want to say them.

SPEAKER_04 4:56

We have one that's Matthew's missionaries because we knew this kid, Matthew, who's a who thinks he's a missionary, and like really toxic, like sneaking onto reservations to try to convince them that they need to be Christian. Like been kicked off multiple reservations. So we like we made the joke that like we all found out about it together, and someone named our group chat Matthew's.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

That's pretty good. Like we are then part of his I would have called it like no reservations, probably. Or like That's good. Reservation for Matthew, table of five. His family. Well, yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_04 5:26

My old roommate trio, my our group chat is named Rutherford after that cursed monkey I had at a wedding. The toy monkey that the bride acted like was her real son. Yeah. Named Rutherford. Oh. He's also the actually no, from another wedding, a hamster with a veil is on, which was the cake topper for a wedding I did.

SPEAKER_01 5:52

Will you turn on the uh on air sign for us if you don't want to? Oh, you know what? It turned off. I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_04 5:58

Uh huh. We did have a rolling power outage.

SPEAKER_01 6:00

That's really fine.

SPEAKER_04 6:01

That's what happens in these properties.

SPEAKER_01 6:02

Me and my cousins have a group chat called the Burning Wipees because that's our band name. Because on a camping trip, somebody threw like like we were cleaning up the table and threw the wipies into the fire, and then it was like the burning whiteies.

SPEAKER_05 6:17

Which Tanya literally yesterday at the bonfire fire literally said, Noah, can I throw this in the fire? And it was a wipey.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

Burning white bees.

SPEAKER_04 6:25

And can you? If you can't flush it, I don't think you can burn it. Well, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

Well, that's why it was like they were just burning for so long. So bright and so long. The other working band name was Stuck in My Straw. That was a good one.

SPEAKER_04 6:39

Oh, that's a good one. But what's stuck in your straw though?

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Well, that's a big question, huh? It depends on what day it is. Little bits of milkshake, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 6:47

And it really can be a think piece of like your straw being your mind and whatever's stuck in it. I like that.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Being stuck in your mind. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:55

Yeah, stuck in my straw.

SPEAKER_01 6:56

You just got back from Olivia Dean Colorado trip. You were telling me about it just moments ago, and I'd like you to recount just a little bit of the highs and the hires. Because I don't think there was any lows, right?

SPEAKER_04 7:10

Ah, no, no lows at Olivia Dean.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

Any lows going to Colorado? Let me ask a few preliminary questions. Was this a sit-down concert? No, or was this a stand-up concert?

SPEAKER_04 7:21

Now there was a couple moments where we sat, some of her slower songs, her ballads, but she fully said, I want you guys to get up and dance.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

Oh, see.

SPEAKER_04 7:31

And here's the thing.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

If I have a chair, I'm sitting in it.

SPEAKER_04 7:34

Oh, well, absolutely. My one of my favorite concerts I ever went to, Lizzie McAllen. I sat down. I said love. But you know what the thing is? It's such a it was such a steep stadium that even if the people in front of you are standing, you could still sit. That's great. Amazing. That's great. Amazing.

SPEAKER_01 7:51

I need to. I was just talking to Michael Oakley about this. A sit-down concert is so much better. I'm turning 30 this year.

SPEAKER_04 7:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

And I hate to admit it, but all those stand-up concerts. Two thirds of the way through, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. Yeah. Like, don't care for the it's gotta be a band that I'm really into. Like Olivia Dean, I'd probably be floor. I'd probably be standing. She's great. Love all her music.

SPEAKER_04 8:14

We did, we were still still.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

I'm like, just give me a little sit-down.

SPEAKER_04 8:17

Was such a good concert that we did look at buying floor tickets for the next day.

SPEAKER_01 8:21

Oh dang. Oh that was a real conversation.

SPEAKER_04 8:23

Yeah, and then we and then we were joking because we were talking earlier in the day of like, we're like, well, we need to look at what other concerts are coming town, we need to check out concerts. And there's one day in San Diego where role model and somber are the same night.

SPEAKER_00 8:36

Whoa.

SPEAKER_04 8:36

And so and then someone said, someone was like, who's choosing somber over role model?

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Aren't they basically the same?

SPEAKER_04 8:43

They're yeah, they're like the same. Yeah, they're the same. Somber's young. We look up, we're like, you know what, we're here for one more night. Why don't we see who's playing Red Rocks?

SPEAKER_01 8:50

Awesome.

SPEAKER_04 8:51

It was Somber. Somber was not Red Rocks. It was the first night of his American tour. And we looked up tickets and it was just not worth it for the like two songs we know of.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

You already touch took such a strong stance. You're like, I'm never seeing Somber.

SPEAKER_04 9:04

No, we've really thought about it, but we're like, okay, if it hits under $100, we'll do it. This is his first show at Red Rocks. And you know what he did? They like Somber broke out his like broke history. And I was like, oh, what do you do? He spray painted a flag and ran around the rocks. Okay. And that you know, he made history. I don't know nothing.

SPEAKER_01 9:22

I don't know nothing about No Somber.

SPEAKER_04 9:25

He's the one who's like, can I go back to being friends?

SPEAKER_01 9:30

When we judge ban and he's like 22.

SPEAKER_04 9:34

Yeah, he yelled. He was wearing like leather flare pants. That gives you an idea. And like a lace tank top. In the summertime? In the summertime, in like a hundred degrees. Oh God, no. You gotta do what you gotta do. No. Belly Dean. Amazing. One of the classiest women out there. Really? So classy. Her whole set, her set was classy. All her merch was great. Um, everything, like, and she didn't. This is a controversial opinion. And this is something that I really appreciate. No encore.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

Ugh.

SPEAKER_04 10:07

A big finale, and when it's done, it's done.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

No encore.

SPEAKER_04 10:13

No, no one even tried. She literally said, and what I love too, there's a couple of really special things she did in her concert. I'll get to them. Sure. The way she ended is she literally is like in the middle of the stage, she's like, bye, Denver. She's British. Bye, Denver. Thanks for pulling with me. I had so much fun dancing. She's like, bye, bye, bye. As as the thing's closing. And she's just like dancing away in the clothes. Credits.

SPEAKER_03 10:37

Over. Oh. Credits.

SPEAKER_04 10:39

That's everyone who worked on the production. That's nice. Also, one thing that I really loved, her two backup singers, there were multiple parts where it was just them on stage when she's doing like a change and stuff. Okay. And they brought them to the middle of the stage and they fully had their moment. And people are cheering them on multiple times. It was her. The screen was a big curtain behind it. It wasn't an electronic screen. It was protection on a curtain. And it was her in the middle. And they would split screen. They would they would do close-ups of the two backup dancers and put them on either side of her. So it it's you're seeing all three of their faces. It's not like the backup dancers in the shadow, which I've seen. Sure. Literal backup dancers sitting standing in the darkness on stage.

SPEAKER_01 11:19

Plenty of people do that.

SPEAKER_04 11:22

And now it's a little more common, or maybe it was like coming back in style. She introduces her whole band.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

Yeah. Very cool.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

And she introduces her backup singers by name. And like I just, there's some. Give it up for Cheeky Sogwatan. It's like after Give It Up for Penelope Traco.

SPEAKER_05 11:40

I feel like artists always do that.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

And you're like, it's kind of late for that.

SPEAKER_04 11:44

It's kind of late. Like I'd like to know their name.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

Give it up for Judy Hornswogo. Yeah. Like all these British people. Give it up for Peter Malark.

SPEAKER_04 11:58

Whatever. No, but it was really, I loved and then there was a moment where she um she talked about immigration status and like why she's like, everyone's people. I don't care where you vote, I don't care where you're born, and I don't get why people do. And I was like, I love. Pop off Queen. Um she's not from here though. She's not from here though. So I was talking about it. There's a lot of issues. For sure.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

For sure. Oh yeah. Look, hey. You don't have to tell me it. I know.

SPEAKER_04 12:28

You hate the Brits.

SPEAKER_01 12:29

I know I hate the Brits.

SPEAKER_04 12:30

Um yeah, but ten out of ten was a great concert. We sat there at the end. And it was sweet. Her kind of she she did like perfect amount of talking. When they talk too much, I'm like, shut up and sing. Shut up and sing.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Show it up at you from the background.

SPEAKER_00 12:44

Show it up at you. Hey, shut up and sing.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

You're here to see you sing, shop.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

You're sitting down.

SPEAKER_03 12:52

Shut up. Yeah. I want to see her sing. Um who's that back girl?

SPEAKER_02 12:58

What's her name? Introduce that girl. That's you in the background.

SPEAKER_04 13:01

She I did a great bit where my one of my friends who went, Kayla, kept on being like, I have she plays this song. I hope she plays this song like all day. And I go, Text her. Text her pet. Ask her, text her.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

Text her. Just text her. I'll call her. I'll call her.

SPEAKER_04 13:15

And then every time she'd be going to introduce a new show, and I'd go, I'd go, and this one's from my friend Kayla, who texted me earlier. Who texted me earlier?

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Thank you, Kayla. Great observation.

SPEAKER_04 13:25

But then the next day she ended up doing because she changed up the set list and changed up her outfits. Which I was like, man. Okay. And she ended up playing the song Kayla wanted. And I go, and she goes, She read my text too late.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

SPEAKER_04 19:26

Abraham Lincoln is so good. Like, wake up, America.

SPEAKER_02 19:32

SPEAKER_04 19:37

SPEAKER_04 19:41

I, before I went to Denver, I was at a work conference last week.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:45

Right next to Disneyland. Didn't go. Rip. But I heard this new Anaheim Convention Center. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 19:51

Nice.

SPEAKER_04 19:52

That Disneyland is doing nighttime tickets for residents.

SPEAKER_05 19:55

50 bucks.

SPEAKER_04 19:56

Because it has been their lowest ticket sales since 9-11.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

That's hard for me to believe. Yeah. Because the last couple of times we've been to Disneyland, there was 1 million people there. Maybe because it's so hot and it's a good thing. Womp, freaking womp, dude. Really? Oh, Disneyland's like, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05 20:18

Give your residents for all day.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

How about make better movies first? I'll start going. Make better movies. I'll start going to Disneyland as soon as they start making better movies.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

Amen.

SPEAKER_01 20:31

Moana remake? Yeah, nice try. Nice try. Oh, we can see it. It's called Moana.

SPEAKER_04 20:37

No. It's an awesome movie.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

It came out 10 years ago.

SPEAKER_04 20:40

In this house, we live, laugh, love, and only watch original movies.

SPEAKER_01 20:44

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, good times. I love that. Well, while you were gallivanting around, I was sitting on the beach.

SPEAKER_05 20:53

For one day. It was so relaxing one day.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

It was really nice.

SPEAKER_04 20:56

The other day's not relaxing at all. Worky, worky, worky, busy, busy, worky.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

It was a pretty busy weekend.

SPEAKER_04 21:01

That was the cart. I I don't I don't often miss the cart. Yeah, that's true. Maybe I missed a couple days of it, but I never I'm very seldom am I never there. It was good.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

Yeah, I can appreciate that. Um it was great. It was hot. Monday was just a here's what we did. I made sandwiches. We brought hot dog materials. You would have been proud, Annie, because I usually get a rap in this group for wanting to bail the beach after like an hour or two. That is one of the dogs.

SPEAKER_04 21:26

That's your classic move.

SPEAKER_01 21:27

We got to the beach at 11 30. I sat until sunset, which was like almost eight o'clock at night. I was in the water. I was a freaking boogie boarding rat out there.

SPEAKER_05 21:42

It was the waves were psychotic.

SPEAKER_01 21:45

The waves were crazy. There was a million people.

SPEAKER_05 21:47

Crazy waves, a million little bits of seaweed. Literally looked like we were swimming in chum. There was so much seaweed.

SPEAKER_01 21:55

It was great.

SPEAKER_05 21:56

I saw I saw bits that looked like flubber.

unknown 21:59

What?

SPEAKER_05 22:00

That like looked like carcass.

SPEAKER_01 22:03

Shark action.

SPEAKER_05 22:04

It was really warm in the water.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

I don't think we were going to experience shark action. It was pretty tumultuous.

SPEAKER_04 22:09

No, I think all the same. Shark action's been happening, so the chum could have, you know, floated down.

SPEAKER_01 22:14

Chum chum? Chum was flowing. The chum was flowing.

SPEAKER_04 22:18

Chum flowing. My band name.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

The chum was flowing or just chum flow. Chum flowing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Chumflow.

SPEAKER_04 22:24

SPEAKER_04 22:41

No. Oh yeah. Well if we need to do that.

SPEAKER_01 22:43

I'm sweating.

SPEAKER_04 22:44

It's but that's partially because you're sunburnt.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

What's funny is It's definitely because I'm sunburnt.

SPEAKER_04 22:48

It looks like I'm more sunburnt than I feel.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

You look really sunburnt.

SPEAKER_04 22:52

You look really sunburnt.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

SPEAKER_04 24:01

So, like an actual baby doll? I don't know. Like an actual baby. Baby doll. A baby patch kid is big. Look at that big head.

SPEAKER_01 24:09

Well, probably not the head, but like Can you look up fruit?

SPEAKER_04 24:12

Sure. Sorry, that was kind of whiny of me.

SPEAKER_05 24:15

I had to go to the fire department and get my toe ring cut off.

SPEAKER_04 24:22

Oh no. Wait, what day?

SPEAKER_05 24:25

Last week. On Friday. Saturday. Oh no. Saturday.

SPEAKER_04 24:31

Are you having are you have you hit the the sides where you're kind of having a hard time bending down? Um reaching the toes is a little bit more of a Well, yeah, you could you gotta go into a deep squat.

SPEAKER_05 24:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

It was more the worry of getting a puffing.

SPEAKER_05 24:44

I've been trying to get it off for like a month.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

Nice.

SPEAKER_05 24:48

And it's like where toe rings are like, they're never supposed to come off. Yeah. They're staying on under the knuckle. And every time I take a shower, I'd be like, oh, they still like twist just fine. Like there's still room. But then I was like, swelling's supposed to be really, really bad on your legs and your feet during birth. Yeah. So I was like, I should probably try and get it off. I couldn't get it over the like big meat of your toe on the top. So I literally, I was like, I have to go to the fire department. Because they do that stuff for free.

SPEAKER_04 25:19

Do they do it? Was it free? They cut rings off.

SPEAKER_01 25:21

Yeah, a bunch of cute young firefighters helped her out.

SPEAKER_04 25:24

Oh my god. I'm gonna get a I'm gonna get a toe ring stuck on my toe. Oh my god, my toe! My ring!

SPEAKER_01 25:31

Cut it off.

SPEAKER_04 25:32

How'd they cut it off? Just a little, a little there's a tool that they tried to use. It looks like it's like a little hook that goes underneath and then it cuts, and then there's a wheel. Oh, oh, and they crank. So it's like uh kind of like a bone saw. Yes. Like a a cast saw. But it's it's mini. Kind of like a little and it's a crank.

SPEAKER_05 25:53

That didn't work. And he even said he was like, these things suck. Like they're bad. Didn't work. So then all the fire the all the guys are like, what are we gonna do? What tool are we gonna use? And the guy went, I'm just gonna grab some big pliers. Like big snippers. Yeah. And I went, okay. And he comes back with literally a regular tool and he goes, he like shimmies it underneath the ring. And he goes, Am I touching any skin? Like, am I gonna clip any skin if I do this? And I said, Nope, you're good. And I kind of just prayed. And all you hear was the biggest like crack. And then they were like, okay, we got it. And they had to like open it and then take it off. And then they went, Do you want it? I had the two two toe rings. Do you want these? And I said, My Delmar Fair toe rings. No, thank you. Anything else, ma'am. Throw them away.

SPEAKER_04 26:45

That's nice. So now I have something in the girly tan line.

SPEAKER_05 26:49

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:49

Well, I'm gonna have to see that after. Can't put it on the internet. It's not for free. That's behind the paywall. Four dollars.

SPEAKER_01 26:56

Oh, that'll be on the post show for sure.

SPEAKER_04 26:58

And they literally, I was leaving and they're like, we're just so glad we could help you. And I was like, You know what? It's probably not often that they're not dealing, especially they were bored. Where you guys are at. That it's you're not dealing with they're dealing kind of with like more of the.

SPEAKER_01 27:14

You don't think we have some serious problems over in Obi?

SPEAKER_04 27:16

SPEAKER_00 27:25

Well and stabbings. Have we? What? Do we have any shootings?

SPEAKER_04 27:31

What? Were they stabbing?

SPEAKER_01 27:32

There was a stab, but there was a stab. There was a stabbing not too long ago. I don't think anyone was shot, but um It's been stabbings.

SPEAKER_04 27:38

Well, yeah, they'd be stabbing. And let me say the fire department are probably happy to help a nice, friendly, pregnant lady who wasn't actively giving birth.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Or getting stabbed.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

Or getting stabbed.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

I will say this is not a funny thing, but like the UK has outlawed guns, right? Yeah. They don't have the same like gun regulations that we have here. But like all of their like panic, their things that that are on the news is like there was a mass stabbing today in London. Five people were stabbed with a knife. It's like how we have like shootings that happen here in the States. It's like, oh yeah, there was a crazy man with a with a kitchen knife and he stabbed a bunch of people.

SPEAKER_04 28:17

Did you see the homeless man who stole the tractor?

SPEAKER_01 28:20

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 28:21

San Diego's getting well, I'm kinda I'm kinda rooting for him though. I mean What did they they caught him? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 28:27

It was an excavator.

SPEAKER_01 28:28

Yeah, here's my thing. Excaverator.

SPEAKER_04 28:30

Excavator, excavator.

SPEAKER_01 28:32

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 28:33

It's always like you're asking for two. It was like four in the morning. Still.

SPEAKER_04 28:38

You know, this is just like when that when that guy stole the tank back in the day and drove the tank up and down the street.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

The tank guy. I think about him all the time.

SPEAKER_04 28:45

Yeah, it's don't leave the keys in the tank. Don't leave a key. Don't leave the key in the excavator.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

In the excavator.

SPEAKER_04 28:51

That's why I always feel like I always see like motorcycles parked with keys in them. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:58

I'm always shocked more when cop cars, because they leave them running.

SPEAKER_01 29:02

I'm like I thought the same thing. Recently I saw a cop car running like out in front somewhere. And that just like no cops anywhere.

SPEAKER_05 29:10

Like down the block up there. My dad told me one time that he keeps the back doors open. Like unlocked. Or in his cop car, he always kept the back doors unlocked because stupid people would literally be like, ha, I'm gonna go to the cop car.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

You can't come out.

SPEAKER_05 29:25

And they'd shut the door and be like, Oh, oh, I'm stuck in here now because there's no handles. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:30

You're like, idiot.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

I went to a police station on a uh field trip one time, and that was they threw us all in the back of a cop car. And like we were in there for like a few minutes. They were like, haha. And we were like, okay, anyways, the tour is gonna go on now.

SPEAKER_05 29:45

We were like, wait, like the plastic backseat.

SPEAKER_04 29:48

The hard the hard plastic. Oh, please! I have a child! Please. I do wish. I've never been in the backseat of a cop car. Mom, dad, you know what I'm saying? That's shocking. Um, but I do wish that I would have had some sort of crazy lore. Never an actual arrest, but maybe like Any run-ins with the cops? No, not serious. I mean, I've gotten two speeding tickets when I two speeding tickets within the first six months of driving. And not one since. Not gone. Well that'll do it. Um, but no, never nothing serious. Well, that's good. And now it's too late. Now if you do it now, you're a grown adult when you're almost 30. Like you're almost 30, you're that's embarrassing. When you're 16, it's like, oh yeah, haha, when I was dumb and young. Now it's like if I did something that is kind of naturally embarrassing.

SPEAKER_01 30:37

I just watched this body cam footage of this old lady that like got pulled over, and she was like fully fighting with the cops, and they were like gonna write her a ticket, and she was like, I'm not signing that ticket, and they're like, Yes, you are. And she's like, No, I'm not. It was like a to typical like old southern granny. She's like, I'm not signing anything, hon. And they were like, Okay, if you don't sign this, you're going to jail. She's like, No, I'm not. And she fully, they they tried to pull her out of the car and she drove away. They freaking chased this old lady down and threw her in handcuffs and threw her in the back of a cop car. And it was like your grandma, it was like an old, old lady. It was so funny, it was so awesome.

SPEAKER_04 31:14

Like, Queen, come on.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

I'm like, she had that coming for sure. I saw the whole cam footage.

SPEAKER_04 31:19

Hey, and I said get her.

SPEAKER_01 31:20

And I said get her. That's people aren't get. That's where red cuppers came from. Is there was like some sort of bit where we were like drinking out of red solo cups. We had a red cup. And we had accents, and it was something to that regard. It was something like that.

SPEAKER_04 31:35

Should we? I mean, Ryan, not Ryan.

SPEAKER_01 31:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:39

SPEAKER_01 31:46

We went to Taco Basic Taco Bell. I've heard that story.

SPEAKER_04 31:48

Yes, and there's red tortilla chips in a burrito, but they were called red strips. And John asked the Taco Bell employee, he goes, So what like what is the red strip? And she goes, um, they're red strips. Oh. And he goes, Yeah, no, okay, I got that. But like, what are they made of? She goes, I don't know. They're red strips. Oh my gosh. He goes, Okay, I'll get that. Like, definitely got reds having no.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

A stupid question to answer, but equally as stupid to ask.

SPEAKER_04 32:16

Like, easily she could have been like, oh, they're red portato chips. But like she just felt it's like they're red strips. I don't know. They're red strips. To this day, our group chat's called red strips.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

SPEAKER_04 32:28

So, guys, we so ours is just Ryan, Kara, and Annie, so we have to come up with a good one.

SPEAKER_01 34:56

Well, until we make our big announcement.

SPEAKER_04 35:03

I have a great number for that.

SPEAKER_01 35:05

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 35:07

How can we go back to doing lip sync when this was the last year? Hey, hey. It's a musical.

SPEAKER_05 35:17

I was doing.

SPEAKER_01 35:19

Oh, oh, okay. Bringing your tap skills into play.

SPEAKER_04 35:23

Oh. Would you put your daughter in um well, here's a question for you. You're you're having a daughter street. Riddle me this. Would I put her in dance classes? Would you put her in dance? Hell yeah. But are you gonna be a parent in which it's like, well, what do you want to do, kid? Or it's like, you do this until you decide what you want to do.

SPEAKER_05 35:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 35:40

That's what I'm loving about. Kids need the push. This summer my niece is going to like ten weeks of summer camp, and every single one of them's a different thing. Last week was like horse camp. This week is ice skating camp. Oh awesome. The week before that was like.

SPEAKER_04 35:54

Do you think she is she liking the week?

SPEAKER_01 35:56

SPEAKER_05 36:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:02

It was just like five days of Legoland camp. And then they did um Splash Camp, of course, go in the pool. Two weeks of splash camp. I'm like, I think every kid should do that. Oh yeah. You know, bada bing, bada baby. I also think every kid should do that summer camp from the parent trap where you just go away for the entire summer. Yeah, that's just one fun camp. Whole summer, go.

SPEAKER_04 36:24

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 36:25

Like two months, that would be so sad.

SPEAKER_04 36:26

But on average, a week-long camp costs a kid about $500. Oh, yeah. If you're sending your kid for like what? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:34

Eight weeks, two months.

SPEAKER_04 36:35

Ten weeks of camp, that's five grand.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

It's room and board and everything for eight weeks.

SPEAKER_05 36:42

You think about it and you're like, oh, that's probably cheaper than keeping them at home.

SPEAKER_01 36:45

I wonder how much boarding school costs.

SPEAKER_04 36:48

Uh, probably like not that year anymore. Oh, they do. On the East Coast, there's boarding schools.
