(ringing) Hey.
Speaker 10:06
Wait a minute, I don't see you.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:08
Yeah, my tape is usually over my camera.
Speaker 10:10
How can I see you?
Jack Rhysider· Host0:11
I got my tape on my camera, one second.
Speaker 10:13
Ah. I can't even hear you.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:15
You can't hear me?
Speaker 10:16
My sound.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:16
There's a story I had that I totally forgot about...
Speaker 10:19
You know, back in high school when I signed the girl in the locker room...
Jack Rhysider· Host0:19
... but I remembered recently and I wanted to call up my dad and walk through it again with him, to try to remember how it went.
Speaker 10:25
Yeah.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:26
I want, uh, I want to recollect a story with you.
Speaker 10:29
Yes.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:30
Because if, as I tell it, I don't think people will believe it, so I figure, uh, you can verify that this is true.
Speaker 10:37
Yeah.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:37
All right, so, do you remember my senior year at high school?
Speaker 10:42
Mm-kay.
Jack Rhysider· Host0:43
I had my own car then. I was like, mentally done with school. I did not want to go to high school anymore. I was just sick of it and just, it had, it, I had been there too long. And I had one elective left, and I said, "What is the easiest possible, uh, class I could take?" Do you remember what I chose as my last elective in my senior year?
Speaker 11:02
It was either welding or typing. I can't remember.
Jack Rhysider· Host1:05
Typing. Yeah.
Speaker 11:07
That's...
Jack Rhysider· Host1:08
But, (laughs) but, but typing? How fast could I type as a senior in high school?
Speaker 11:13
Oh, at least 99 words a minute.
Jack Rhysider· Host1:16
Right.
Speaker 11:16
You were extreme.
Jack Rhysider· Host1:17
Right. So, choosing that as an elective...
Speaker 11:20
Oh.
Jack Rhysider· Host1:21
That's the easiest class ever. That would, that's gonna be a walk in the park.
Speaker 11:27
I was happy for you. Senior year.
