I was like who the fuck are these parents? I'm gonna fight these parents There's no need for kids to start back on the ninth of February At least I mean I'm thinking most started at least last week Some some the week before I know some started to date. Obviously I was dead in the other schools as well

1:02But come on like my wife's a deputy principal. They started last week. Yeah, and some the week before yeah, but I guess with Miller He started so late That his last day of school must be Christmas Eve. It has to be I think his last day was like the fifth no the 17th or something Yeah, so they'll go yeah, you'll you'll have them at school in December I know that's miles away for as long as he possibly could be yeah Yeah, so you'll have them there all the time, but yeah, Knights of Fairb holy heck Well, no because you know in this day and age a lot of people both obviously both parents are working. Yeah You know, and it's just like what are you supposed to do with him? I mean like if you can't get them into the holiday programs because they are expensive in beef So up exactly then what do you do? He's just been roaming the streets hasn't he?

I start getting trouble If you take the controllers away. No, to the naughty corner mouth But yeah, no, it was pretty pretty boring. I look back at it. And I think gosh I'm not even that good at playing playstation either right But if I had to spend all that time focusing on something else like learning an instrument or learning a language Yeah, or you know skating. Yeah doing something. Yeah, you know constructive. Yeah, exactly Then maybe I would actually be good at something other than talking shit. Well, we found out today much He must have trained. He was Four years in a row or something festival of the word or something Spoken words spoken words. Sorry, my mistake. You were you were the best. Yeah, I was saying to create you earlier

3:09I used to really wind up with the drama kids at school because they'd take it right I didn't talk drama, but they'd take it and then once the festival of the spoken word came around I'd roll in and just snatch off the winner's prize off all of them What was I mean, I know what a spoken word hero. Yeah, I know we did speak about this on here But what was for those who don't know and many don't the festival of the spoken word? What did you have to do?
