I have uh a couple things I have to share with you really quick. The first one is I have to bring you one of life's simple joys. And you'll you'll get a great kick out of this. So uh and I'm also 87 saying you'll get a great kick out of this. No, this is this is this is one of those little heartwarming moments, and it's one of those simple things in life that will make you smile as New York is getting ready to go back to school. Now, PA's back in school, we know New York's getting set. So the letters have been going out of who has what teachers.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I loved this.
SPEAKER_01Now, I already told you we have a very we have a very special thing happening in the house. Uh, so Lydia's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Beam, she's also a friend and a neighbor. Uh, you know, we've gotten to know the family over the years. Yeah. Uh, and great people. So that was her kindergarten teacher. And it just so happened uh after kindergarten, after Lydia finished kindergarten, uh, Mrs. Beam got moved to second grade. And she's been there ever since. So we already knew we kind of we kind of worked a little magic, and Lydia's gonna finish off her Divin school career with Mrs. Beam again.
SPEAKER_03She probably thrived in that class, so it's so great that she can thrive again. It's just one of those cool experiences. I don't know how many Lydia doesn't struggle in school.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, yeah, bless her soul. At least there's one. Uh right.
SPEAKER_03Cool man. Because Scott did.
SPEAKER_02Uh I still do.
SPEAKER_01Trying to figure out new math. That ain't easy.
SPEAKER_02Right. So uh, so yeah, I thought that was cute. Tell daddy what you learned today. Yeah, show me what you learned. Do it again.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and again. Yeah, and again. Uh so at any rate, uh, I don't know how many times people get the same teacher in a situation like that, but that's I've never had that happen. It's pretty cool. So the next thing was is, and the letter came for Gavin and for his teacher. Uh, and that came. Now, there's been kind of I don't know, uh there's been a very small core group. Gavin has friends all over the place. Like he's just one of these kids that he he doesn't make enemies, he makes friends where he goes, right? Yeah, yeah. Not like his father. Um but some things you don't get from your parents, and that's a good thing. That's right. So uh at any rate, I found out last night uh that Gavin, for the first time in two years, has one of his three. There was like the three close ones, one of the three for the first time since third grade is back with Gavin. So I texted him this morning and I go, Hey, Lucas is in your class, and he sends, and it it's gotta be 14 uh E's and S's. He goes, Yes, sir.
SPEAKER_03I love when he says yes, sir.
SPEAKER_01Just the simple joy of it all.
SPEAKER_03How cute is that, first of all. Secondly, I always had this. Me and my girlfriends would call each other, Did you get Mrs. Davis? Yeah. Who got Mr. Belvedere? Who got da da da da? And it was so exciting. And I hated it when like three of my girlfriends would be in a class together and then you're alone?
SPEAKER_01I was the lone. Oh, they do, because you were the talker. Oh, I'm sure I'm they gotta separate. They always thought, well, don't put those girls together. I should apologize to Piper in advance. That's the teacher, because those two all right, opposite sides of the room, just pointing that out.
SPEAKER_03What Gavin did get from his dad talking.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Yes. Or he's listened to this show far too long, and Aunt Alley had an influence. Uh anyway, what you want to hear something really interesting? What? Jerry Seinfeld, you know, we uh in life we go through, we don't realize uh that uh people like Seinfeld and stuff like that actually had failures as they were coming up. You think, well, this guy, he had one of the biggest shows in the 90s.
SPEAKER_03Like did he ever flop in front of an audience?
SPEAKER_01Well, it wasn't really in front of an audience. This came out from a podcast. Take a listen to this.
SPEAKER_00There was one huge failure at the beginning. I was cast to be a comic relief character on Benson in 1980, when I had just moved out to LA at the age of 26. And I did three episodes, and I showed up for the fourth, and I sat down at the table and I go, How come there's no script for me? And they go, You've been fired. Why are you here? And the agent didn't call me to tell me I was fired. I was already a very dedicated stand-up comedian, but that locked the safe. I went, okay, from now on, nobody else's material. Because I'm doing their crappy material. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was a failure that was a great propeller for me.
SPEAKER_01And that's you turned literally uh well, lemons and a lemonade.
SPEAKER_03That and I know he ended up becoming a great actor with his own show, which was his own content. But also, you're that young, you're still cutting your teeth on acting. I could see where they didn't really want him. Oh yeah. And also, I just had this conversation with an endorsement recently. I mean, I endorsed Allison Aesthetics. This is no, there's there's no, you know, that that's not a hidden thing. But we were talking about me doing content for them. And I s I said, I'm gonna deliver it this way because this is my words and my experience, and I know that, you know, they have a very, they have a they have a softer touch. You know, there's they're they're a very beautiful I mean my god, you scream soft. Right. Right. They have a very beautiful, sophisticated brand. And I know that that's scream alley. I'm more like a cactus. So I said, but I I just can't imagine delivering it any any other way. And they're like, no, no, we want you be you be you be you, yeah, whatever your experience is with us, whatever your your story is, then do it that way.
SPEAKER_01And I and I also think at some point there is something in everyone's life that is almost a turning point, and it's almost like I'm gonna make this into what it needs to be. I mean, I I can think of times in my life that it's happened.
SPEAKER_03So Well, I know you've sat in those meetings as well. You know, if you're endorsing Windows or whatever, well, I I'm gonna say it like this. How many times have you been given a script and you're like, that doesn't sound like at all?
SPEAKER_01Anytime you and I have to go out somewhere and we get the and and generally it usually is an honor if you invite us out to MC an event or host something like that.
SPEAKER_03But don't expect us to be like, ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
SPEAKER_01Thank you for joining us tonight.
SPEAKER_03No, we're like, what up? Yeah.
