Speaker 1 Hey, Friend in High Places, my new favorite podcast with Matt Friend coming out on YouTube. You got to check it out.
And the first guest is me.

Speaker 1 I heard that you didn't like kids, or that is a rumor started by a child I knocked into the gutter with the door of my limousine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's kind of what they teach you kids these days. A year or two, you might not even be a girl, huh?

Speaker 1 Hey, kids. Hello.

Speaker 1 Hi.

Speaker 1 How are you doing? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Speaker 1 From Curtis. I'm Kylon.

Speaker 1 And you're...

Speaker 5 And I'm Beverly.

Speaker 1 Beverly, of course. Now, obviously, there's been a booking mix-up because you're not even close to the same age.

Speaker 1 You know, what can I say? It's hard to get good help.

Speaker 1 So, how old are you?

Speaker 5 Eight.

Speaker 1 Eight? Yes. Wow.
You look older than eight, but

Speaker 1 plainly you're not eight.

Speaker 1 No, I'm 16. 16.

Speaker 5 She was the same age as him.

Speaker 1 You're what? My brother.

Speaker 1 Ah, maybe that's the mix-up.

Speaker 1 Maybe it was supposed to be your brother.

Speaker 1 Is there anybody between you and your brother at 16 and 8?

Speaker 5 My cat. She's 14 and 15.

Speaker 1 That does not really count.

Speaker 5 Because I have a sister. She's the oldest of my sibling.
How old is she?

Speaker 5 She's 19.

Speaker 1 So 19, 16, and I, I always was curious about families like that where the kids are like very far apart.

Speaker 1 They was like, honey, there's that thing we used to do. What was it? It was in bed.

Speaker 1 And then they, but it's always good to be like the baby of the family because you get.

Speaker 5 I have a little cousin. He's four.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But that's a cousin. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And like, literally, every time he comes over, sometimes he thinks of random ideas. Literally, he was hiding under my grandma's bed.

Speaker 1 So he was hiding under the bed. Yes.
Yeah, that's not that interesting. Right? Yeah.
No.

Speaker 1 I mean, come on.

Speaker 5 I was under the bed while I was watching TV up on top of the bed.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So what do you do for danger? For danger? Yeah. For kicks.

Speaker 5 For kicks?

Speaker 1 Like, like what? Well, I don't know. You tell me.

Speaker 1 You're the kid. I'm asking questions.
That's what I'm going to know. Like, what do you, like, when I was your age, what I did for kicks was what's that? Phony.
The phone. Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 She was talking about Roblox.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I was gonna ask you if you should download it.

Speaker 1 No, you shouldn't even have a phone.

Speaker 5 Um I got one when I was three.

Speaker 1 Three? Yes, I know.

Speaker 1 That was my reaction in my head because I couldn't say that out loud. Three?

Speaker 1 That's just so wrong.

Speaker 1 I mean, three.

Speaker 1 And what do you do on your phone?

Speaker 5 I play Roblox, Minecraft, and I have it on my own YouTube channel. And I also have an Instra Instagram account and a TikTok account at this age, at eight years old.

Speaker 1 At this age, that was my line.

Speaker 1 You're reading my lines.

Speaker 1 I don't even know where you are at.

Speaker 1 Right. At this age.
Don't you think so? I mean, this guy's 16 and you put him in the position of being like kids today.

Speaker 1 I gotta tell you, they're just crazy. I mean, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Isn't that crazy to have a phone at three?

Speaker 1 I don't think I had a phone at eight.

Speaker 1 I think I got my first phone in fourth grade and it was like a really old Samsung Android. Right.

Speaker 5 When I was like only three,

Speaker 5 I was born in 2015, so I was like, it was like in 2019 when I joined Roblox. And I started reading stuff immediately when I started playing Roblox and started typing.

Speaker 1 Wait, you joined what?

Speaker 5 Roblox, isn't it?

Speaker 1 Roblox.

Speaker 5 My phone's dead right now, but I can't.

Speaker 1 Spell it. Spell Roblox.

Speaker 5 R-O-B-L-O-X.

Speaker 1 What is it?

Speaker 5 It's like a game where you can have mini games inside of it that you can play together.

Speaker 1 Oh, like the Matrix?

Speaker 5 No.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 I never saw that either.

Speaker 5 And then there's also a game that's also educational Minecraft, like where you can learn to survive on your own.

Speaker 1 Have you thought about Game of Thrones? I hear people love it. And it's...

Speaker 1 Have you watched Game of Thrones? Yeah, I know. No?

Speaker 1 Wow. Even Game of Thrones is too

Speaker 1 old school for kids.

Speaker 5 I watch his clue in real life, though.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey.

Speaker 1 No, don't. You know what?

Speaker 1 You'll put an eye out.

Speaker 1 We're very safety conscious here at this house.

Speaker 1 I don't really watch. Look both ways before you do anything.

Speaker 1 I don't really watch.

Speaker 1 If you see a dog, tell a policeman.

Speaker 5 Why? Your dogs are missing?

Speaker 1 No, I'm just saying we're very safety conscious in this house. Don't never look directly at a cloud.
I just want kids to be safe. You, let's talk about you because

Speaker 1 you,

Speaker 1 I can't even understand your life. Maybe I could kind of understand his life a little bit.

Speaker 1 You don't watch TV either?

Speaker 1 I mean, I watch maybe a couple episodes of something my mom is watching. Like what? What does your mom watch?

Speaker 1 She was watching Suits a while ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, because Mac and Marco's on it.

Speaker 1 That's great.

Speaker 1 I mean, I actually used to watch

Speaker 1 actual, like, I used to watch TV a lot with her.

Speaker 1 You know what Blue Bloods is? It's like, yeah, of course. Tom Selick, do I know what Blue Bloods is? I mean, I would never watch it like I wouldn't watch any detective work on CBS.

Speaker 1 But I mean, that's for people even older than me. Can you believe that?

Speaker 1 What the?

Speaker 1 Okay, so what are you going to do when you grow up?

Speaker 5 I'm going to become a baker, still be an actress.

Speaker 5 I might steal Ashley's job. And then, yeah.

Speaker 1 Still Ashley's job. My Ashley? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. She does the media here for this company.
She does, you know, puts out the clips and stuff. That is a great job to get into.
And you seem to be very savvy since you had a phone in the womb.

Speaker 1 You laugh, but that's next. They're just going to implant a phone in there.
So the kid,

Speaker 1 when they're born, they're just there with the phone.

Speaker 5 When I was inside my mom's womb,

Speaker 5 I was always making cheese and milk, and

Speaker 5 now I'm sensitive to milk.

Speaker 1 Wait, is that still drink it? When I was in my mother's womb, I made her

Speaker 5 like, I was like, I'm hungry. Okay.
I was picking on her.

Speaker 1 Not all about you.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I think before you're born, let other people talk.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 That's what I think about being born. You got to wait till you're born before you get a vote.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now, what is your birthday?

Speaker 5 October 20th.

Speaker 1 That's correct.

Speaker 5 2015.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm January 20th.

Speaker 5 Nice.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 5 My cousin's is January 1st.

Speaker 1 So we're on the cusp. You know that? That's the cusp.
I mean, astrology. Astrology is

Speaker 1 nonsense, kids. But for people who believe in it, that's very important when you're on the cusp because it means you're right between two signs.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Have you ever talked to anybody about astrology?

Speaker 5 No.

Speaker 1 Do you know Tom Cruise personally?

Speaker 5 Tom? No, I'm not. Cruise.

Speaker 1 I heard of him.

Speaker 1 Do you know Tom Cruise personally? I have not, no. I met him, but I don't know him personally.

Speaker 1 He's a cool guy.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, that's an interesting question, Kai. Is he a cool guy? I think he's a super talented guy.
I mean, there's very few people who have consistently over the decades,

Speaker 1 not that I have to tell you,

Speaker 1 made more entertaining movies. I mean, from the beginning, I mean, he became a star in the early 80s.

Speaker 5 There's grass in my shoe.

Speaker 1 There's what?

Speaker 5 There's grass in my shoe right here.

Speaker 1 Oh. Well, why don't you give that to me? I like grass.
Oh, I was going to eat it.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 that's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon. They do some jokes just for the adults.

Speaker 1 Tom Cruise, but you know, he is a Scientologist.

Speaker 1 No, you know, fine. I don't know if you know about Scientist.
Do you know about Scientology?

Speaker 5 Scientology? No.

Speaker 5 I'm only going to be in third grades yet, so.

Speaker 1 Well, trust me, that's the level of the Scientologist. No, I kid the Scientologist.

Speaker 1 It's a religion, a modern religion,

Speaker 1 that came along just in the last century, so they really knew better.

Speaker 5 But they believe some interesting things like the world is 12 trillion years old which is impossible um and uh well it's kind of not possible because when like cavemen were alive and they're like fighting with like bones because they always like would try to get meat from stuff

Speaker 1 yes that's not wrong um the

Speaker 1 early man was carnivorous and present man is carnivorous do you eat meat yeah i eat bacon, pork, and especially the ribs. Definitely the ribs.

Speaker 5 I love ribs. And then I also love steak.

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, I'm not gonna shame you for that.
I mean, I'm not a vegetarian. What about you, Kai? You eat meat? Of course, yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, not of course. There's a lot of people who don't.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I just well, I mean.

Speaker 5 Especially there's types of dinosaurs that are not carnivore. So they eat like grass and plants.

Speaker 5 Because I did study on a dinosaur that eats plants and I made a pyramid of it with the its world and I have it and its childs.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. You're right.
Dinosaurs were were not mostly carnivorous. Dinosaurs were plant eaters.
But they ate a lot of plants.

Speaker 5 Yeah, herbivores.

Speaker 1 Herbivores, yes. Very good.
Wow, look at that. Eight years old, herbivore.

Speaker 5 And because my second grade teacher, she is like, um, definitely like a plant lover. She has her she made the garden inside of our school.
And she also let us eat

Speaker 5 artichoke. She let us have artichoke.
She's like, she got it from her garden, cooked it, and brought it to us the next day.

Speaker 1 And is that a hobby of yours, studying dinosaurs? Are you fascinated by dinosaurs? Have you seen Jurassic Park?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I've seen like a Jurassic Park. I played the Jurassic Park game too before.
I also like, I forgot. I also like Stegosaurus.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 5 And like, I forgot the dinosaur my name, but it was actually a dinosaur with like a kind of a mermaid tail. Kind of.

Speaker 1 My accountant's name was Herb Ivor.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Kidding. I kid the Jews.

Speaker 1 Okay. So, what do you want to do when you

Speaker 1 come of age? Because it's coming up soon for you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm not 100% sure, but I mean,

Speaker 1 when I was younger, I dreamed to become a professional soccer player. But I mean, I don't know how realistic that really is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think when it comes to athletics, you have to have a backup plan. Yeah, yeah.
Other things you can say, look, I mean, I wanted to be a comedian when I was your age. I knew it.

Speaker 1 I love that. My dog does that.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 You? A comedian?

Speaker 1 And I really never had a backup plan. It was like this or bust.

Speaker 1 But it's a little different with athletics because, first of all, athletics, if you're not doing it early, it's not going to happen.

Speaker 5 I mean, I started acting when I was like one.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you are an actress. Oh, I didn't know that.
So

Speaker 1 what have we seen you in?

Speaker 5 So

Speaker 5 you, three episodes.

Speaker 1 Wait, what? Three episodes?

Speaker 5 Of you.

Speaker 1 You, what's you?

Speaker 5 It's like a show of like kind of murder, kind of.

Speaker 5 And then um a Target commercial, a Home Depot commercial.

Speaker 5 Um

Speaker 1 what were you playing in these ads?

Speaker 5 Oh, I was playing as like child child, yeah.

Speaker 5 I didn't get to do my singing part on the Target commercial. I'm really sad about that.

Speaker 1 How did you prepare to play a child?

Speaker 5 Uh literally I had to so like after

Speaker 5 the for the fitting

Speaker 5 of like the Home Depot one, I had to like try on different outfits of course and they picked the outfit that looked cute, actually, and I got to keep the clothes afterwards.

Speaker 5 Or no, that was for the Target commercial, or was it both?

Speaker 1 Let me give you a little hint, honey. Always keep the clothes, let them get them from you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, and then learn

Speaker 1 just wear them all.

Speaker 5 And then, for like for the Target commercial, I lines, but they didn't put it inside of the commercial, so I was sad about that. I was only in there for 1.0 sec, 1.5 seconds, basically.

Speaker 5 But I understand skipping all the way across.

Speaker 1 I understand what you really want to do is direct.

Speaker 5 I might want to make my own show with me and my friend, though, called Dandy's World, because it's a game on Roblox.

Speaker 1 She actually does want to direct, apparently.

Speaker 1 I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 Well, you're very precocious. Do you know what that word means?

Speaker 1 Precocious? Well, you should memorize that one.

Speaker 1 Precocious. Precocious.
Precocious. Precocious.
Precocious. Precocious.

Speaker 5 Precocious. Exactly.
I have a lisp.

Speaker 1 No, no, you're saying it right. Oh.
I was just messing with you.

Speaker 1 It means

Speaker 1 very grown up for your age.

Speaker 5 Yeah, my mom says I kind of look like sound like a 10-year-old.

Speaker 1 Now, I never had kids. You don't think that makes me weird like JD Vance, do you? No, no.
No, thank you.

Speaker 5 Many people did not have kids and to adopt, especially to show that me and my mom watched what trying.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you have to adopt. Yeah, you don't have to adopt.
You don't have to be around them at all, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I heard that you didn't like kids or something.

Speaker 1 That is a rumor started by a child I knocked into the gutter with the door of my limousine. It is not true at all.

Speaker 1 When did you not get into a super moment? No, I'm just no, I mean, some of us don't want to have kids around all the time, but do I

Speaker 1 here with you look like someone who doesn't like kids? Of course not. I like all people.

Speaker 1 I like all people in limited time amounts.

Speaker 1 So, okay, so if soccer doesn't work out, what's plan B?

Speaker 1 Something like physical therapy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Trainer.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Something like that.
Maybe a trainer, yeah. I mean, to be honest, I just want to make money when I grow up.

Speaker 1 Well, it's important about what you make money, because otherwise you're not going to be happy with. I might do something in like the medicine field.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Maybe my mom was saying maybe I should try to become a doctor, but I don't know.
It doesn't

Speaker 1 matter.

Speaker 1 Well, then you shouldn't. I know.
And it takes an amazing amount of dedication.

Speaker 1 Not only medical school, which is a killer, but as soon as you get out of medical school, they put you in a hospital where you work like 80-hour weeks.

Speaker 1 They work you till you can't even see what's going on.

Speaker 5 That kind of also reminds me of a show that I was in, Gray's Anatomy.

Speaker 1 And what were you playing?

Speaker 5 I was playing like an audience for like it was like a play and I was like a

Speaker 1 child. You're playing a child.
I think you're being typecast.

Speaker 1 I think you're being typecast and you should talk to your agent about it. What?

Speaker 1 You don't want to get caught in that trap.

Speaker 1 You're always a child.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm always young.

Speaker 5 I didn't have an agent when I was in Grayson Atomy, but I had

Speaker 5 a manager who was my manager and agent, and now I have an agent.

Speaker 5 And a manager still.

Speaker 1 You have an agent and a manager. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, how much do they take? Like, do you know that? Like, is it 10%? Is it 15%? Colonel Parker used to get 25%. Am I is that crazy or what?

Speaker 1 Kids, Colonel Parker? Nothing? I don't know.

Speaker 5 Also, I kind of also want to be an artist.

Speaker 1 You didn't watch the Elvis movie?

Speaker 1 No. No.
You didn't watch that so that didn't interest you, even with Austin Butler? I mean, I've been trying to, like, watch popular movies, like, but I don't like going to theaters that much.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's been on it's been on. I know, but, like, we we had an HBO Max subscription, but then like, my mom just canceled it.
So

Speaker 1 I used to have Paramount subscription and my mom canceled it. Although, I guess I could.

Speaker 5 I had a Paramount subscription and my mom canceled it. Mom, if you're watching this, please had it again.
I need to watch the regular Victoria.

Speaker 1 That's the same way I was at 10. I always knew where the camera was.

Speaker 5 And then there's one right there.

Speaker 1 Oh, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 Okay, I can't.

Speaker 1 But so the life of Elvis doesn't interest you at all?

Speaker 1 No, not really.

Speaker 1 You know, he was like a bad MF, right? Elvis? Yeah, Elvis Presley.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I've heard of him.

Speaker 1 You know, you heard of him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Isn't that amazing? Do you have a little sister? No. I have no siblings.
You have no siblings. You're an only child.
Yeah. What's that like?

Speaker 1 I mean, I've heard from everyone that has siblings that it's the best thing that you know that you don't yeah that i don't have siblings sometimes they could be mean you have siblings yes and you don't like them seriously no i do like them but sometimes they can be mean like yell at me and what about your parents you like them yeah i like my parents

Speaker 1 yeah you like your parents yeah i love my parents look at that

Speaker 1 well-adjusted kids with parents that they like

Speaker 1 I don't know how we found that.

Speaker 5 Oh, yeah, I also told Ashley

Speaker 5 Ashley to buy you a plaid shirt and a jean jacket.

Speaker 1 Say this again?

Speaker 5 I also told Ashley, you're Ashley, like to buy a jean jacket and a plaid shirt for you. Why? Because she asked me

Speaker 5 out there what your style should be. So I told her that, and she said that she'll probably buy it.

Speaker 1 What a jean jacket and a, what am I? Jelly roll? I don't want a jean jacket and a plaid shirt. I'm not a cracker.
I'm not a farmer. A plaid shirt and a jean jacket.
What is this? 1982?

Speaker 1 No, is that what's in now? Is that why you're saying I should wear this?

Speaker 1 You just think it fits me.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I just think it fits you.

Speaker 1 So what is that in your neat?

Speaker 5 Oh, it's like ripped jeans, but this has like rips on the side, kind of.

Speaker 1 These jeans, they come like that in the store? Yeah, kind of, but these are made for ripped jeans.

Speaker 1 Yes. So why? Why is it cooler to have jeans that look like you're a blind hobo who got dressed at the Goodwill store than it is to have actual nice clothes like I have.

Speaker 1 Nice clothes, nice clothing that I have, nice clothing. Why is your

Speaker 5 style now? It's a style.

Speaker 1 Of now. Like I'm old.

Speaker 5 No, no, it's like literally my brother, he has old like pair of jeans when he was like 12 and they fit me actually, but sometimes they're a little long.

Speaker 1 I have these one jeans that are like actually big ribs that I think it was his or it was my sister's, but they actually fit me pretty nice and like to wear them to school so did you wear the same kind of clothes when you started out life as a boy I assume you're both transitioned I'm just assuming you were a boy as a child and you were a girl I mean that's what no what no well I thought everybody these days was transitioned no no no you're you actually was born yeah and you were born a girl yeah oh okay all right fine whatever kink whatever you're into whatever weird whatever weird stuff you're into is fine with me nothing weird about it.

Speaker 5 I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 Okay. Well, I thank you kids for coming over.

Speaker 5 I think you've by the way, can you sign these both?

Speaker 1 Yes, I sign

Speaker 1 the phone. Yeah.
Sign right on the phone? Yeah.

Speaker 5 And also, can you put your phone number in here so I can call it?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 we can't.

Speaker 1 It's a little inappropriate, Mrs. Robinson.

Speaker 1 So hard to get good help these days, kids. So hard to get good help.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 Paige and Amelia, how old are you?

Speaker 5 We're both 10.

Speaker 1 You're both 10? Yeah. Well, see, already, I was told 8 and 10.
Like, I'm telling you, it's really hard to get good help. But I'm very glad you're here on,

Speaker 1 what is the name of this show? Club Random? Oh, Club Random is the real name, right? But this is like a special edition like Bill Talks to Kids.

Speaker 1 Not that you're really kids. You seem very mature, but like just technically by the age, you know, people they like to judge by age.

Speaker 1 I guess you're kids, but you seem very mature to me. But we're very happy to have you here because we're trying to like

Speaker 1 sort of iron out the demographic problem that we have. I mean, the last two guests we had were Shatner and Norman Lear.
So we want to get some young people.

Speaker 1 You remember Norman Lear? No, that was before your time. Do you still watch TV? Is TV still a thing? Kind of.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 It's not, well, like,

Speaker 5 for most kids our age, it's not that relevant. It's more like YouTube and TikTok.

Speaker 1 Right. But can't you watch YouTube on TV?

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.
So in a way, it's just like a different TV channel.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm trying to make myself feel better because I'm in TV and it is a dying medium.

Speaker 1 But I know that. It's okay.
There are still plenty of people who watch TV.

Speaker 1 Is there any shows that you watch, like that are still on, like the networks?

Speaker 1 I don't know what show. I mean, I don't watch a lot of hell of a lot of shows, but nothing.

Speaker 5 I like watching Modern Family.

Speaker 1 Modern Family.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 1 Okay, there you go.

Speaker 5 Well, I like a lot of drama shows because we have played with a twist at the end.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 5 Now we're watching TV.

Speaker 1 Okay, what do we have to front about TV for? We still like TV. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What drama shows do you like? Craze Anatomy?

Speaker 5 K-dramas because I'm Korean.

Speaker 1 Okay. K-dramas.
Yeah. I didn't know there was such a thing.

Speaker 1 What channel is that on?

Speaker 5 There's a lot of things on Viki. That's like Rocket Toon Viki or something like that.
It's like the heart of Asian entertainment.

Speaker 1 Say this again.

Speaker 1 What is it called?

Speaker 5 It's Rocket Toon Viki. A lot of people call it Viki.
It's where like...

Speaker 1 Is this like a channel right on the channel guide or is this a streaming service? Yeah, it's like a streaming app thing. Okay.
So and this is specifically for the Korean market?

Speaker 5 There's also like Japanese and Chinese shows on there too.

Speaker 1 Oh, I see. So Pan-Asian.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay. And what do they speak English on this channel?

Speaker 5 They have subtitles, but they speak in like different languages.

Speaker 1 So so the Japanese ones would be in Japanese, the Korean ones would be in Korean with

Speaker 5 And they would have like English subtitles on the bottom.

Speaker 1 But you're able to to uh watch it without the subtitles? You speak Korean?

Speaker 5 No, but I can read Korean, but I kinda don't know what they're saying.

Speaker 1 I see.

Speaker 1 So do you you only speak English at home?

Speaker 5 Yeah, but maybe we try to speak different languages at home.

Speaker 1 But why do you only want to watch the Korean channel?

Speaker 1 I mean, you know, they used to call America a melting pot.

Speaker 1 Like everyone would come and we'd be in one big pot and we'd melt together.

Speaker 1 That's sort of like a good idea, don't you think, that we should melt?

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
So watch a little Grayson Anatomy. Would it kill you?

Speaker 1 You know, watch Scandal. That was a great show.
Remember that one with Kerry Washington? You'd like that one.

Speaker 1 Strong woman. Strong woman shows.
Right?

Speaker 1 What do you, so you watch Saturday Night Live? Yeah. And what was was the other one you said? Modern Family.
Modern Family. I never really got into Modern Family, but that's...

Speaker 1 Oh, well, did I say something terrible?

Speaker 5 I mean, Modern Family, like, I started it only like a couple months ago with my parents, and then I fell in love with it.

Speaker 5 Then we ended it, and I like am re-watching all the episodes because I'm so in love with it.

Speaker 5 Like, they haven't.

Speaker 1 I mean, those are strong words to be in love with a TV show. I mean, I used to be in love with TV shows.
Don't get me wrong.

Speaker 1 There were shows I absolutely loved. Mikhail's Navy.
I mean, come on, right?

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 as someone who actually never watched Modern Family,

Speaker 1 tell me what the setup is and who the characters are.

Speaker 5 So it's a traditional family, kind of two parents, three kids.

Speaker 1 Yuck.

Speaker 1 Two parents, three kids.

Speaker 1 The parents are like a man and a woman? Yeah. What? That's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 And then it's

Speaker 5 gay parents with an adoptive daughter. Okay.
And then a very young wife and a very old husband with a kid.

Speaker 1 Nothing wrong with that. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Played by Sophia Vergara for the young.

Speaker 1 Oh, Sophia Viagra. She's hot, huh?

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I don't know who those people are.

Speaker 1 Okay, so and then so a gay couple and then

Speaker 1 no Eskimos?

Speaker 5 I don't know what that word is.

Speaker 1 Eskimo? You know what an Eskimo is, no?

Speaker 1 Eskimo were the indigenous people of the north, of northern Canada, Alaska. Oh.
You know, they live in it.

Speaker 1 You mean a foreigner? What? A foreigner? Florida, no, the opposite. Foreigner.
Foreigner. Wait, Eskimo is the one that does it.
The Igloos?

Speaker 1 Igloos, correct. Oh.

Speaker 1 That's right. Igloos.
No. Yes.

Speaker 1 And you know who the first people were in Alaska? They were Asian. That's why they still look Asian, the indigenous people there.
They came over from Asia.

Speaker 1 They went all the way through Russia, and there's a part called the Bering Strait, where it's just a very narrow waterway that separates Asia from where North America starts, at the very northern part of Canada and Alaska.

Speaker 1 I can see I'm losing the crowd.

Speaker 1 Don't you think that's kind of interesting that humans came all the way across Asia and then that's how we got into North America? Yeah. That's why Indians look Asiatic.

Speaker 1 And then they went all the way down into South America.

Speaker 5 We're kind of learning a little bit.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They went all the way, North America, all the way down.
Of course, this took thousands of years through the Isthmus of Panama, into South America, all the way down to the end of Argentina.

Speaker 1 And below that is just, you know, public parking, nothing. I mean, Antarctica.
I mean, you wouldn't want to be there, would you?

Speaker 1 Have you traveled? What about travel? Let's talk about travel.

Speaker 5 My family travels every summer to Europe.

Speaker 1 Europe? That's a great town.

Speaker 1 Where in Europe?

Speaker 5 So my mom is from Bulgaria.

Speaker 1 Bulgaria. I know the capital, Sophia.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 All right. So, and your mother's name is Sophia? No.
But wouldn't that be something if it was

Speaker 1 given the name of the capital? Okay. So you go to Bulgaria.
That's interesting. You don't meet a lot of people who are from Bulgaria.
Yeah. They're mostly Bulgaria.
They're very rare here.

Speaker 5 Yeah. And we also go to, like the UK, France.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 We were gonna go to Italy. London and Paris? Yeah, London.

Speaker 5 I love London.

Speaker 1 Sure. Yeah.
London's a great town also. And have you traveled?

Speaker 5 Yeah, two summers ago we went to Korea

Speaker 1 for

Speaker 1 six weeks, I think. Six weeks.

Speaker 5 And we got to explore all the other parts of town. We got to drive the subway and we got to eat like live octopus.
It was super fun.

Speaker 1 Live octopus.

Speaker 5 No, it was like kind of dead because we chopped it into pieces

Speaker 1 what kind of music do they play in korea soul you know get it soul music because again the capital

Speaker 5 well they do like k-pop

Speaker 1 k-pop i know i i i mean i don't know but i know that it's huge i know k-pop is big i i even know like it's big here too people like it oh huge yeah absolutely no you cannot front on k-pop i mean i have no idea what it is but i know it's extremely popular.

Speaker 1 And I know people who are not, you know,

Speaker 1 young or Asian who like it. It's like, I think it's like sort of the successor to, for better, lack of a better term, the bubblegum music.
You remember that from the late 60s, right?

Speaker 1 The bubblegum music. Okay.
All right, never mind. But just like kind of fun, right? Pop, not too serious, you know, not that Billie Eilish,

Speaker 1 everything's sad, kind of weird. She's not sad anymore, really.
Not exactly who I was going to say. She's She's not sad anymore.

Speaker 5 She's number two in the world.

Speaker 1 Two in what? She's number two.

Speaker 5 Two and one. And the number two singer in the world.

Speaker 1 Who's number one? Probably Taylor Swift.

Speaker 5 No, no.

Speaker 1 Taylor Swift is fairly popular now.

Speaker 5 The weekend's actually number one. Really? Yeah, Taylor Swift is number three, actually.

Speaker 1 In terms of what? Sales?

Speaker 5 No, I think it's popularity.

Speaker 1 Well, but how do you measure popularity?

Speaker 5 You have to do it by Spotify monthly streamers.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Spotify monthly streamers.
Well, at least that's a metric, am I right?

Speaker 1 At least we can, you know, it has to be something objective. That's interesting.
So you think the weekend is number one and Spotify down?

Speaker 5 I saw it on the internet or something.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 5 Or someone told me.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 see, that's the problem. Someone told you.
That's what Trump says.

Speaker 1 A lot of people are saying, a lot of people are saying the weekend is number one, but it doesn't make it true just because somebody says people are saying. So you got to change.

Speaker 5 So there's a bunch of different lists on the internet that say completely different stuff.

Speaker 1 I'm sure there is. Yeah.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 What sites do you go on on the internet?

Speaker 5 I go on Wikipedia.

Speaker 1 Wikipedia. Yeah.
That's interesting.

Speaker 5 I just look up random stuff and then just.

Speaker 1 So like one thing like leads you to go to something else? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 During COVID, that's when I started just searching a bunch of random stuff on what Wikipedia.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's one way to get educated. It's a little, you know, scattershot, but I mean, I've done it myself.

Speaker 1 You know, sometimes you don't realize how long you can just be going from one thing the other it's called going down a rabbit hole have you ever heard that term going down a rabbit hole yeah i don't think i have no well now you have and you know what once you hear something and it's in your brain you'll hear it again you probably heard it before it just didn't register now you'll you'll know it you'll hear it all the time you're like oh i'm going down a rabbit hole again

Speaker 1 Okay, so you're on the internet,

Speaker 1 Wikipedia goes from one site to the next. What if it leads you to someplace where you don't think you should probably be?

Speaker 1 Because I hear from parents, not that I'm one, but I hear they're very worried about what their kids are seeing on the internet.

Speaker 5 I don't think I go on bad websites or anything.

Speaker 1 But you could, right?

Speaker 5 Yeah, if it takes me to one, I just exit it because there's nothing that.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, say you're interested in like climate change. So you start looking on that.
That's a big issue. I mean, your kids are worried about it for a a good reason.
Okay, climate.

Speaker 1 It leads you to weather. Then you're looking up stuff about the weather.
Then it leads you to Stormy Daniels. All right, now you're into porn.
Now you're into a porn site. What do you do?

Speaker 5 I exit it.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 You hear that, Paige? Yeah. If that happens to you, you're going to do the same thing?

Speaker 5 Yeah,

Speaker 5 I would like go where all the tabs are open and I would just close it like a bunch of times. Right.

Speaker 5 Sometimes it might still show up each other, so do I, so I keep doing it until like until the tab closes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think when you're 10, you gotta erase your browser history, if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 You don't want that coming back to haunt you. Because at some point you're gonna be out looking for a job, right? Yeah.
Do you know what kind of job you'll be looking for when you get older?

Speaker 5 I want to be an attorney.

Speaker 1 An attorney? Yeah. Really, you want to be a lawyer? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, we need lawyers. Actually, lawyer, the fact that there are so many lawyers is a good thing for society, even though lawyers are very annoying.

Speaker 1 because that's what my mom said because the best societies have learned to settle their their disputes through legal means yeah in other words if you don't have lawyers people settle their disputes through killing each other or opinions basically well everyone should have opinion i know but they base every they base everything they do based off their opinion because if they killed a man they'll be like Well, I think that I was right that I killed him.

Speaker 1 Right, right. So it's better.
I mean, look,

Speaker 1 legal

Speaker 1 decisions are also people's opinions i mean it's literally called the opinion of the court but it's an opinion that is at least supposedly based on something real which is the laws that have been written so it's not perfect nothing with humans ever is but it's better than the alternative so what kind of law do you want to practice

Speaker 1 uh

Speaker 5 I really like family law because it's drama.

Speaker 5 And I get to get dramatic stuff. And I get work and entertainment so it's

Speaker 1 a two-on-one bundle. Well, I mean you say entertainment, but a lot of the times the family matters are actually kind of sad, aren't they?

Speaker 5 Yeah, they are,

Speaker 1 but what if they're very sad, yeah?

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 it could be entertaining, yeah, sad for them, not you, sad for them. No, you're billing, you're billing by the hour, yeah, you're golden.
Yeah, what about you, Paige? What do you want to do?

Speaker 5 When I go, I think I want to be an actor maybe.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm on a podcast already. Well, what's that?

Speaker 5 I mean, I'm on your podcast already.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a good point. I mean, you're well on your way.
A lot of people have done this podcast, and the next thing, Academy Award nomination.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 have you ever thought of starting as a child actor?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I have. You have, uh-huh.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I've been, like, auditioning for.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you've already started auditioning?

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. And what have you auditioned for? Anything we might have seen?

Speaker 5 No.

Speaker 5 Just like basically commercials and soaps.

Speaker 1 Oh, commercials. Well, commercials.

Speaker 1 Hey, commercials is a great place to start. Commercials and soaps.
Get on a soap. That's what you should do.
You want to get on a soap? They're always looking for, you know, a new character.

Speaker 1 You could have amnesia. That happens a lot on soap operas.
You could forget

Speaker 1 who you were. And since you're so young, you wouldn't have to forget that much anyway.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 But you think that's where you're going to go? You're going to be an actress in life?

Speaker 5 Well, that's what I want to do. Maybe my personality will change like in the next five years or so.
Yeah, it changes a lot.

Speaker 1 Your personality will change?

Speaker 5 Well, not my personality. Maybe like my career.
Like, maybe I want to be in...

Speaker 5 Blah, blah, blah. When I grow up, maybe like in five years, it's going to be something completely different.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's kind of what they teach your kids these days is you might be completely different in a year or two, you might not even be a girl, huh? No.

Speaker 1 Let's always leave that door open.

Speaker 1 How you doing? Great. How about you? Noah? Yeah.
Miley? Did I say that right? Yeah. Nice to meet you.
Like Miley Cyrus? Huh? Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, but not... Pronounced the same way, but not spelled the same way, right?

Speaker 1 But nothing to do with her, right? I mean, your parents... Because you you know, Taylor Swift was named after a musician.
Did you know that? No, I did not.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 6 Only my sister likes her.

Speaker 1 Yeah, me too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 How old is your sister?

Speaker 6 My sister's 14.

Speaker 1 Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 James Taylor. Do you know who that is?

Speaker 6 He sounds really familiar, but.

Speaker 1 Did you ever have trouble sleeping? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, try some James Taylor. No.
No.

Speaker 1 He's a very good.

Speaker 1 I bet you would know some of the songs, Fire and Rain. I've seen Fire and I've seen Rain.
Oh, no, no, I know that song. Oh, you do? I've never heard of that song.
Deep, isn't it? Yeah.

Speaker 1 I've only heard it in a movie, so. In a movie? What movie?

Speaker 6 Well, it shows. I don't really like specifically remember, but it's like a cinematic song.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's cinematic. Very good.
Wow. I didn't know that word.
How old are you?

Speaker 6 I'm 16.

Speaker 1 Yeah, maybe I did. Probably not.
Anyway, James Taylor is is who they named Taylor Swift after. Oh.
Yeah. I guess her parents liked her.
But

Speaker 1 Miley. James Taylor's a girl? No, James Taylor's a girl.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 But they took the last name. Right.
So, Taylor Swift, named after James Taylor. No, he's definitely not a girl.
In fact, he was quite the ladies' man.

Speaker 1 He's married to another pop star named Carly Simon. And she sang, to take this full circle, she sang, You're So Vane.

Speaker 1 It was like the original breakup song, like Taylor Swift is always doing breakup songs. Well, this chick did it first.

Speaker 1 You're so vain, I bet you think the song's about you. Boom.

Speaker 6 The OG.

Speaker 1 So, how old are you? Now, you're 16 and you're.

Speaker 7 I'm 13.

Speaker 1 13.

Speaker 1 And your brother and sister? No. But you'd like to be.
No.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 So what grade is 16?

Speaker 1 You're almost out of high school, right?

Speaker 6 I'm going into 11th grade. I start in like three weeks.

Speaker 1 And you are. Eighth grade.
Eighth grade is 13. Right.

Speaker 1 You know, I gave the valedictory address to my eighth grade class.

Speaker 6 While you were the valedictorian? Yes.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yes.

Speaker 1 It's all been downhill since, but I feel like I, no, I was 14.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 My father was very proud proud of me.

Speaker 1 I can't remember what I said, but I'm sure it was wrong.

Speaker 1 So eighth grade, right. So that's middle school.

Speaker 1 And then next year you go into high school?

Speaker 1 What do you think about that? Is that nerve-wracking?

Speaker 1 Kind of. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was, you know, wedding in my pants

Speaker 1 when I was about to go into high school because it's different. Yeah.
I was short and shy. It's a terrible combination.

Speaker 7 I'm short and shy.

Speaker 1 So? You're not that short. And girls can be short.
Yeah. Shy.

Speaker 1 That's also okay for a girl. It's just not good for a guy because you're supposed to be, you know, macho like this guy.
Look at this guy over here, huh?

Speaker 1 But that's the thing.

Speaker 1 You're going to be the upperclassman.

Speaker 6 Yeah, finally. I get off-campus privileges and stuff.

Speaker 1 Off-campus?

Speaker 6 Yeah, like during like free periods, I don't have to be there.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. What the hell has happened to high school? That's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 What do you mean you you have to be there it's high school of course you have to be there well for like lunch lunch it's called the cafeteria you don't where do you go for lunch well i haven't experienced it yet but like i mean my friends go to restaurants restaurants that's yeah restaurant what are you like like sardis you're going to for lunch

Speaker 1 Where do you get the money to go to a restaurant for lunch?

Speaker 6 Well, I have a job.

Speaker 1 What's your job?

Speaker 6 I'm a cashier at a pizza place.

Speaker 1 really

Speaker 1 yeah i had a job at 16. i was the delivery boy for the liquor store oh written away

Speaker 1 way

Speaker 6 that's crazy yeah why why is that crazy it's probably not allowed anymore maybe

Speaker 1 i don't know you're probably right it's probably not you're right i was 16 delivering liquor and the drugstore

Speaker 1 They put all the delivery

Speaker 1 liquor and drugs in town in my hands.

Speaker 1 And this is before GPS. GPS.

Speaker 6 So how'd you get to that?

Speaker 1 Yeah, looked on a map.

Speaker 6 Okay.

Speaker 1 You know, while you were driving. You're looking worse than Texas.

Speaker 5 Generally unsafe.

Speaker 1 Way worse. Oh, way worse.
What?

Speaker 7 Seems generally unsafe.

Speaker 1 It's generally, it was extremely unsafe. I mean, I'm sure I should have pulled over and looked at the map, but I remember, you know, looking at, anyway, it may be the man I am today, all right?

Speaker 1 Off-campus restaurants. My God.

Speaker 1 So what kind of restaurants are in you? Where do you go to school?

Speaker 6 I go to a private school in Fairfax.

Speaker 1 Oh, you go to a private school? Yeah. Where's Fairfax?

Speaker 6 Well, it's like,

Speaker 6 I think

Speaker 6 it crosses by Melrose and Olympic, I think.

Speaker 1 Oh, Fairfax High School?

Speaker 6 No, no, no. I don't go to Fairfax High School.

Speaker 1 No, but like that district?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, oh.
That's where my studio is. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 You know, CBS, the giant one at Fairfax and

Speaker 1 Beverly.

Speaker 1 It's called Television City.

Speaker 1 It's the big I, the big CBS I.

Speaker 6 I think, yeah, I know what that is.

Speaker 1 It's right, but you know where the grove is?

Speaker 1 It's right, it just abuts the grove.

Speaker 6 I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 I said, but.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 what were we talking about? Oh, yeah. So you're going to, oh, so

Speaker 1 you're in private school. Yeah.
Well, you're too good for regular school?

Speaker 6 Well, I mean, my parents wanted to send me to Jewish school

Speaker 6 so I could have like a Jewish education alongside a secular one.

Speaker 1 Interesting, because I hear you're Presbyterian.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Well, so in my day, they call that Hebrew School. Isn't that called Hebrew School?

Speaker 6 Yeah, well, also, I mean, we learn Hebrew, but we also learn like Jewish, like Jewish history. I have a class about that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't think it's the Jews who have to learn the Jewish history. You might want to tell it to the college kids these days because these morons are out there protesting for Hamas.

Speaker 1 But let's not get you kids involved in controversial subjects like that. Where do you go to school?

Speaker 5 I also go to school at private school.

Speaker 1 Oh, you do? What's yours?

Speaker 7 Milken.

Speaker 1 I'm named after Michael Milken? Huh? Milken.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 Milken, M-I-L-K-E-N? Yeah. Well, there was a rich guy named Michael Milken.

Speaker 1 He was a crook, but you know, it doesn't mean he can't have a school. I mean, Kanye has a school.
You want to know how America isn't really serious about education? We gave Kanye a school. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he had a school you didn't know that i didn't oh to send his kids to right well to but other kids went it was a school

Speaker 1 yeah apparently anybody can get a school

Speaker 1 yeah

Speaker 1 so um okay so you you're do you do this thing off campus no no

Speaker 1 but you could next when you go to high school um i think so

Speaker 1 and you think this is good having this much leeway

Speaker 1 Do you feel like they're teaching you anything in school?

Speaker 6 I mean, yeah,

Speaker 6 it's like I have an eight-hour day pretty much. I start at 8 a.m.
and I end at like 4.35 p.m., which is a longer day day than like most.

Speaker 1 But what are they teaching you? Like, do you actually know American history?

Speaker 6 Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, some of you.

Speaker 6 Like, last year we learned U.S. history, but like,

Speaker 6 that was like a class that I barely got a B in. So like, I didn't really,

Speaker 6 I wasn't really paying attention in that class.

Speaker 1 Why? Because because I don't know you still got a B it was boring to me

Speaker 1 well B for boring yeah exactly

Speaker 1 but

Speaker 1 but they so you're you didn't pay attention but you still got a B I mean like I crammed for the test you crammed for the test

Speaker 6 interesting that's all that matters

Speaker 1 the test is all that matters no no I'm joking well I mean if you learned it even if we were doing from cramming at least you learned it at some point yeah so you think you did?

Speaker 6 Like, I mean,

Speaker 6 I don't think I know like the whole unit. Like, I could take the unit test again right now, but I know like the stuff that resonated with me.

Speaker 1 But, like, you know, the American Revolution and

Speaker 1 1776 and George Washington and that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah.
The big stuff. Then Lincoln, the Civil War.
And

Speaker 1 you wouldn't be able to

Speaker 1 place the correct decade for World War II?

Speaker 6 It was the

Speaker 6 40s?

Speaker 1 Correct. Okay.
1940s.

Speaker 1 I thought I was going to say the 30s. I was going to say that.
I'm so glad they're teaching something.

Speaker 1 And what about what's your favorite subject?

Speaker 7 No. I want to say math.
It's not math.

Speaker 5 History, probably.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That was mine.

Speaker 7 History is fun. Yes.
Except for the...

Speaker 1 It's a story of people doing crazy effed up things.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 I mean, some people are just good at math. I wasn't.
You know, it was always a struggle.

Speaker 7 Math is just

Speaker 7 harder when it's annoying.

Speaker 1 It's always annoying.

Speaker 1 I mean, I did it. Some people.
I got there. But,

Speaker 1 all right, last question. So, do you know what you want to do? Like, I don't want to say when you grow up because you're already obviously very grown up.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 But, I mean, let's say when you reach adulthood, do you know what you're going to do, what you're aiming for? No. No clue?

Speaker 7 Just want to educate people.

Speaker 1 Well, that's that's a thing.

Speaker 1 That's called being a teacher.

Speaker 7 Said I don't want to be a teacher. I've heard things about payments and

Speaker 1 that they're low.

Speaker 1 They are.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 7 So probably not just

Speaker 1 So something higher up in the chain? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Maybe the IAC?

Speaker 5 I don't know.

Speaker 1 The what?

Speaker 7 The IAC, Israeli American Council.

Speaker 1 Oh, the Israeli American Council. Oh, so you're in a Jewish school, too? Yeah.
Ah, okay. Well, look, I love the Jews.
And what do you want to be?

Speaker 6 I don't really know yet, but I want to major in like either communications or history for college.

Speaker 1 History, the one that was bored? Boring you?

Speaker 6 Well, that particular course was boring, but I find like ancient history way more interesting.

Speaker 1 Ancient history? I mean, I'm a history manager, so all of history is interesting. I love medieval history.
I bet you they haven't gotten to that at all with you.

Speaker 1 But ancient history, you mean like the Greeks and the Romans?

Speaker 6 Yeah, or the Egyptians. Egyptians,

Speaker 1 the Mesopotamians.

Speaker 6 Like cavemen and also.

Speaker 1 Cavemen, that's really going far back.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm talking about that. So that's prehistory.
Well, yeah.

Speaker 1 Very interesting.

Speaker 6 Like the whole social hierarch like I remember like the social hierarchy thing, like that was introduced in like

Speaker 6 hunter-gatherers. Like, I really, really like that.
I learned that like five years ago, and I still remember it.

Speaker 1 Hunter-gatherers, yeah.

Speaker 1 And when did the hunter-gathering stop? Have you learned that?

Speaker 6 Yeah, when they started planting food and had like a social hierarchy, basically, and like set rules up.

Speaker 1 This was called the Agricultural Revolution.

Speaker 1 Around when was this?

Speaker 6 I don't remember that.

Speaker 1 But that's important. Yeah.

Speaker 1 About 10,000 BC. Okay.
So only about 12,000 years ago did people settle down. And once they did, right, once they settled down, everything changed.

Speaker 1 Because, first of all, much less variety in the food. They basically ate cows, pigs, and chickens like we do today.
Easily domesticated, and it made us

Speaker 1 much less healthy. It's good to have a greater variety of food.

Speaker 1 But anyway, we'll get to that in the next class. Okay.

Speaker 1 Thank you for coming in. Is this the first Tommy River Dina podcast? Yeah.
