Nate and Storm chat with Max Cote about ice fishing, virtual class, and everyone's favorite anonymous app.

What's going on, guys? We are back for another week of Boys Only here on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM, or Spotify, or anywhere else that you get your podcasts, featuring me, Storm Drexler, you, Nate Gallagher, and our wonderful guest. We got Max Cody on this week. How you doing, Max? What's up, guys? I'm very happy to be on here.

We're happy to have you. We're here once again to make that safe space for the boys, the lads, the gents, and chat about some behind the scenes stuff about the male experience here at Hillsdale College. No girls. No girls allowed. None. This is boys only. Hey Storm, I'm kind of sad you didn't rap again.

Yeah. We got a lot of feedback from that on the first episode that you were just laying some, like, sick bars. It was really funny. We have like the intro song and my voice, the cadence lined up with the beats in the first episode, so it sounds like I'm like hitting and laying down bars. Yeah. But we're back again.

we made it to a third episode. Unbelievable. Cannot believe that. You guys have not been shut down yet by your radio station. Yeah, canceled. 100%. Likewise.

Well, let's start off how we always do. We got questions. Yeah, wonderful people out there submitted a lot of questions for Max. Oh, I'm so excited. Nate, you have responsibilities. What do you mean I have responsibilities? To procure the questions.

I always do. And they're always great. At least a couple of them are. You guys sit in a couple stinkers every now. I can't ask. I mean... I know why it is going to hit us for another thing here. Wyatt is, I'm, Wyatt's last.

Okay, I'm saving the treat of Wyatt's question. The past two episodes I've listened to, just, bangers. Phenomenal. It's another, it's another banger. I'll tell you that much. I'm excited. Elijah asks, favorite movie.

Hmm. It's a good question. It's hard to, I always give like a top five. Like I can't pick out of my top five, but, you know, Truman Show, great movie. Oh, that's a good one. A few good men. That's a good movie. Oh, man, yeah.

Call back to last week, Nomeo and Juliet. Not that movie. I actually don't like that movie, but... I haven't seen it since I was, like, five years old. Yeah. I'm trying to think. Star Wars. Yeah, definitely a couple...

I'd throw a couple Star Wars in there. What's your favorite movie? Oh, sorry. No, I was just going to say Revenge of the Sith. And... It's peak. Empire Strikes Back. Those two star movies.

Those are the best. You have a favorite movie, Nate? I love any, like, Disney Channel or whatever. Disney Channel? Whatever those original movies. Teen Beach movie? Absolutely. Teen Beach movie.

High school musical? Oh, you don't even know. I've seen all four. There's three. There's a fourth. They made it. What? I don't know if it.

It's called High School Musical, The Musical. Wait, it was already a musical. They made it more. More music More music Is there like a musical Within the musical Is there like a musical within the musical? Is that what the...

No, it's just staged Wait, wasn't there already A musical within the musical In the first film? How did they get more musical? No, I thought the first film was just like It was like high school But everyone was singing

Oh yeah I was saying like in this one It's like they're performing a musical Yes In the musical Yes You know I really like in movies When it's like if you start singing right now

I'm gonna get really upset Yeah It's very self-referential and always makes me laugh. Like, I think they do that in Moana. So if you want to please Nate when he's watching a film, throw in meta jokes. Yes, I mess crazy with meta jokes. Elijah has another question.

Oh, yeah. What would your papal name be in a universe where you were elected Pope? Oh. That's a good question. What are like some examples of papal names? Urban. Is that? Eugenius.

Oh, like actual names. I just thought people took on like saint names. They do sometimes, but sometimes they get a little creative. I'd be Pope Jamarcus Cousins III. Lofi, just be Pope's Storm. Like, that's dope. Yeah. Fact.

Pope Storm is, it sounds like a, like a dictator. Or a weather. Lay down the law at the Vatican. It's a Pope Storm. So what would your papal name be, nice? Come on. I don't know. Pope, like Uranus or something?

Pope Uranus? Yeah, no, yeah, very planetary. Very planetary. Astrological looking. That's a good one. That's a good one. Mark asks. Oh, yay.

Favorite Simpson and or ATO moment. Oh. There's so many good ones. There's a lot of good ones. There's so many good ones that. Favorite ATO moment, probably Annex Beads Party last year, and that's very fun. I'm very excited to put that on again this year. Heck yeah.

I've never actually been to Annex. Then we're pulling up this time. March 28th. Beach party? Is that promoting? No, yeah, you can do that. It's your own stuff. ATO Beach Party, March 28.

Pull up to ATO Beach Party. Sorry, I'm trying to find Benny's question I'm actually going to ask, because some of these are just... Shut up, Benny. Absolutely. It's my boy. Okay, so he asked, what's it like being the most famous person on Yodel? I would say, like, last semester, that would have been the case.

But as of... No, I... Yeah, sure. I fell off, man. Yeah, my name's being mentioned less on Yodel. Um, no. His karma went down. What?

I keep seeing freshman football T.C. as of late. I, the whole, I'll go into the whole, like, MC Yodel, like, stupid bull crap. Like, that started last year. I was at a date party, and I open up my phone, and on Yodel, I'm reading, like, freshman MC is at jungle pull up so it was like a play on of like the this house is going up but

like the houses don't actually go up so it was they're like I figured it out that it was like some of my friends that were doing this and then like this pat like this fall I came in and it kind of just blew up as like sophomore ATOMC and I was just like oh this is stupid bit and then shout out yalee on the yalee on the track team He took it upon himself to probably yodel about me like five to six times a day in the fall. Oh my God. And it kind of just took off after that. But most of the things that, discretion, most of the things that people read about me on there are just probably not true.

I'm a normal person. I'm a normal guy, you know, but. Sure. People have gotten crazy with the name drops now, though. Oh, yeah. I don't understand why we don't just full names. Everyone knows who you're talking. It's in their community.

It's in their community guys. guidelines that you can't name drop people. So this has been the way forever to just drop first and last initial. No. I'm going to give a really long pause now. I don't know if I should ask this question from Austin. Okay. I'm going to send it anyway, but we'll see.

Austin says, how do I get a batty? He asked his question last time, and I did not ask it because... No, this is good. I didn't want Gabe to answer it. True. He's only gone out with, like, one girl ever. True, true. We can't throw him under the bus.

I'm not throwing him under the bus. I'm saying you work out. We'll re-ask the question. We'll start again. No. I'm not asking the question if I have to retake it. Okay.

So how do you get a baddie? How do you get a baddie? I feel like Austin should know this better than, I mean, wasn't he like Olds? What was his nickname? Olds oligarch? The Olds oligarch last year. So clearly.

Yeah, also he was the one who, who quoted, Let's take the pie. I guess it's something back to Olds. It's a classic Austin moment. I think. he hangs around more women than I do. So, I don't know. Like, Austin, honestly, just something in the personality, you know.

If you're the old oligarch, you got to lock it in. You've got to lock it in, man. You've got to lock it in, I guess. Sorry, I had to, like, reread the question. It's like, what are these guys sending in? Liam asks, what is the best classroom on campus? Oh. I know what my pick is for this.

I would say, I don't remember what the number is. It's Kendall third floor, though. Like one of the, it has a lot of rooms, or it has a lot of, sorry, it has a lot of windows on that opposite side wall when you walk into the classroom. But one of those third floor Kendall rooms,

it's just, what is it? I had one of, I had my U.S. Constitution class in there with Habib, and it was like just such a good class. a lot of good memories attached to that room. That's where the psych ward or the psych... The psych suite. The psych suite is. Psych ward.

It's basically like a high-pitched little shore noise in there. I always wondered how they gave the entire psychology department, like their entire own floor. Like we don't have that many psych majors where they should be having the entire floor of Kendall upstairs to themselves. Yeah, I don't know. I think the reason is because like they,

They need a lab, but you can't really put that lab in, like, Strohacker or Dow. Is this a lab for, like, psych experiments? Yeah. Okay. Like, biology gets their own... Bio and... Bio gets two floors. Bio gets two floors.

So does Chem and so does physics. Well, as you, physics gets one, because that's, like, math. Physics is just the bottom floor of... Of Strosak because math is the other one in Tao. But, like, bio and chem each get two floors. They're entirely themselves. Oh, the Strosacker upper floors are also... Yeah.

For them. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I, like, there's a room. and the third floor throw sacker that looks over the street and looks over towards Simpson that has a really nice little superiors. Oh, yes. That's a study room.

The Dow, yeah, the Dow. Oh, Dow. It's Dow. I like that. It's a good question. What's yours, neat? It's also the third floor of Kendall. It's the one if you're looking at the psychology suite and you walk right, it's the room on the left. It's got like long tables. Oh, yeah. I mess crazy with that room. I think it's like 3-37 or something like that.

It's elite. Heck yeah. Because it has the tables, but also a lot of windows. And like, if you want to just sit in there, like, by yourself, you don't have to, like, keep watching people walk by because there's a wall. Have you guys ever rearranged the tables? Or do you just use them how they are? I mean, occasionally.

I did it once, and then a custodian came in and scolded me. What are you doing? Fix all of this. And I was just like, yeah, no, I'll do that. But, like, in the Dow room, um, I, I know Trevor Hall and Michael Bogle also pushed together, like, all of these tables into the center of the room. Yeah. And then, like, a bio-proff came into the room.

And it was like, you guys are the worst, like, put these back when you are done. I know someone who built a fort. Are you serious? Was it over winter break? No. Sorry. It was just during the story. They just, like, up in that third floor room that you're talking about, Storm.

Oh. Built, like, with blankets. And, like, they... Had like three of their friends bring like comforters blankets. That's kind of fun. They built a whole fort. Did they sleep over? No.

Oh, that would be cool. It was like during the day. Great for movie nights though. Because the projector is real big and like low and like easy to, I don't know, access, I guess. Liam actually has another question. Dear Max, would you like to go fishing with me? Seems like a date. Who's Liam Liam?

Liam Brennan, Simpson Freshman. Simpson freshman, L.B. I'll have to meet him. You don't know him? I probably have met him. before, but again, I meet a lot of people. No, I'd love to go fishing with him. I've fished all of this past summer here in Hillsdale, so I can take him to all the spots

when it gets warm. Just like right here? No, like in the surrounding areas. Jack Peterson said that he has a bunch of fishing spots he knows around here. Who went ice fishing? I think there were some Zimson guys who went ice fishing. Near here? No, it wasn't Simpson.

It wasn't Sims and it was an ice fish. The Outdoor Adventures Club. What? Had an ice fishing event a couple, like a week ago or something like that Charlie went to it. Oh my gosh, that's awesome.

Yeah. He said it was really cool. They didn't catch anything. That's where you like cut the hole nice. And then you sit there with a chair and you fish. And you have a little line and you just wait until a fish comes up, I guess. That is actually how you catch, how you get baddies. Ice fish.

Ice fish? Yeah. Fishing. True, you like sit on top of old's and like throw a little line down into the courtyard. And your name is Austin and you're sitting on the roof. It just has a cruise effect. I'm Catholic. Hi.

How you do? That's actually crazy. That's insane. I'm going to throw my boy into the bus like that, man. Come on now. Hey, he's the one that, like, you put yourself out there by asking questions, I guess. Yeah. Kevin asks, is yodel a net positive or negative for the college community?

I told you half these are just yodel. Given, I mean, I'm going to say given the, the, the, most recent CCA. I'm going to say it's a net positive. I had a lot of, like, I had a yodel during the CCA and I said, reading yodel during the CCA's,

like reading live Twitter during the Super Bowl. So like, the speakers would, like, literally every point, like you would refresh yodel and someone had already, like, yodeled about what the speaker was talking about. There was critiques.

And just Twitch chat. Yeah. It was like live, live Twitch chat. of yodel. And since, like, all of the talks were, like, insane and, like, some of them, yeah, one of the dudes was, like, Google killed my wife or something. I'm serious. This actually happened, yeah. He's like, Google killed my wife and tried to kill my son. And then, like, people are yodeling, like, this guy is lying. Like, yeah, it was crazy. He, he told us some other

stories about, he was like, some guy, one of my, one of my coworkers got, like, assaulted. And his first thought was like Google. By Google. A big G came out of nowhere with a bat and was like, come here. A guy came out of a crowd with a knife and attacked him. He's totally survived and he was fine, but he was like, Google sent him. Yeah, he said like the dude was sitting at a restaurant and then this guy just comes up with a shank and is like stab. Yeah. And then he's like, this was Google. And his like wife passed away from the same. And we were all like, oh my gosh. And he was like, you see, welcome to my world. They're out to get me.

Okay, so. Oh my lord. So circling back. What was the question? I think it's a, I would say it's a net positive. Net positive because we could all come together as a community. Yeah. And there is, there is a significant amount of negatives on that app. Like, it is brain rot at its core. It's Hillsdale branded brain rot.

But I think every, I think a lot of my laughs from the day come from just like going on Yotel for like 10 minutes and just scrolling through and seeing what people are saying. Oh, yeah. It's also, it's getting worse. It is getting worse. The freshman are realizing. The freshmen have figured out what yodel is, and it's, I don't know, it's getting worse. The fun thing that I do on yodel now is I scroll through and I try and find like ones that my friends made. So like, I'm so fine-tuned to like jokes that my friends would make that I go through and I'm like, this was this person.

And I like text it to them or I'll comment on the yodel. Like shout out, Luke LeBlanc, he yodeled and I commented, I said, I know exactly who made this post. And then he replied, he was like, who? And I was like, freshman at L.L. And then he texts me, he was like, is that you who replied on the Yodel? And I was just like, oh, man. Gotcha. Nailed it down.

It's funny. It's fun. Got them. That's like, that's, you say that and it's funny, but at the same time, absolute rot. Oh, it is. It's on Yotles so much that you can tell who is. In my opinion, like, that's just all social media. You can't escape.

Like, if you go on Twitter, that's just, like, earth-branded rot. and then branded why is everything branded well yodels the hills yeah yeah yeah yeah there's one earth dude I opened it over a break

and it automatically went to like my town at home it's horrific really mine as well I will say anywhere that I've seen like where I've opened yodel that isn't Hillsdale

it's just used for like bad things it's insane very very bad I thought if I went back to the hillstill page while I was at home and posted it would still be like anonymous pretty much

but apparently it kind of tells them where you are. I saw some that, what area of the U.S.? So people would have seen where I'm from, Georgia, and would have been like, oh my gosh,

I know exactly who this is. Okay, well, the difference is, there's like a million people from Georgia. There's like four of us from New York. I'm cooked,

but I can never yodeled. Were you posted over, over winter break? A little bit. Yeah. I am, after the show, I am so interested

into reading your yodels. No. I'm not funny. We got to go through the archives. I got to see the archives. I'll pull it up. I mean, they're not bad.

I bet you're a mod, Nate. I am not. I have like 4,000 karma. I'm a lot. I'm a lot. I think, no, it's easy to get. I don't know what it is about moderation, but like. Is everyone a mod?

It doesn't do anything is what it is. A, it doesn't do anything. Like, they give you access to the moderation tab where you like, but every time you click on it, like nothing. It says, you don't lamenti or whatever. Your limit. Like, nothing needs to be moderated. Yep.

And I've met people who are like, oh, yeah, I'm at 2,000 karma and I'm a mod. What? Just like, I was at, like, like, I was at, like, like, like, 50,000 karma and they're like, you're still not a mod, so. What? That's crazy. There's someone going through and is just like deleting everything. Yeah, no. Yeah. Oh,

funny story, I, until yesterday, I had been banned on Yodel for a week. For a week? Yeah. For what? Oh, my, it said, I, I, I, Google. It was Google. It was Google. Google. Google tried to assassinate

my Yodel account. Uh, no, I, there was one night where there was a bunch of like drama happening on yodel and I had just decided to take that time instead of yodling about drama to just joke around and just replying to all these yodels and then I opened my phone the next day and it was like you have a seven day ban your accountant was reported 36 times for spamming and hate speech hate speech was this the recent drama yes yeah yeah yodel hate speech is like an oxymoron Yeah, no. That's like the whole app. Not really, but do not open yodel at home. Nope.

That's the moral of the story. So to answer your question, net bad. I'm kidding. Net, like, if, yeah, eh. Like, if you want it, download it, if it doesn't, if that's not your sip of tea, you know, then just don't. Your sip a tea? Cup of a cup.

Yeah. One little sip? Just a little sip. Speaking of sips of tea. What's that? the next question. Preguntas. Amazing segue.

I'm on it with them. This is the final question. Oh, is this Wyatt? Wyatt asks, would you rather have a week off your life whenever you drop your phone or diarrhea forever? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. A week off your life every time you drop your phone or diarrhea forever. I drop my phone a lot.

You guys are looking at my case right now. This is why I have this bulky, like, fat. Armor case. Because, like, other phones that I've had, I've dropped them and broken them. Yeah, I don't think I drop my phone that much. I think it's worth the risk, man. I really don't want that. I don't want the second one.

I think I'm going to have to go with the phone one, but just because I don't want it. That's an awful. Is it lifelong? It's not like 24-7, but it's every time you go. You go. It's bad. It's that bad. Oh my gosh.

That's horrible. I go a lot. That's like significantly decreased life value. Like, dude, it's bad. I think, wait, does it, do you lose multiple weeks if you drop it? Like, do that thing where you, like, re-catch it and drop it again? Two weeks. Is it, like, have to hit the ground?

Unclear, but I'm going to go with it has to hit the ground. Okay. Or, like, whatever surface. So if I drop it on a table. Oh. Wait. But if you recatch it. I think save yourself.

Yeah, you can save yourself. But, like, if you like, that. That's dropping it? Yes. Okay. That's rough. I would die a week. A week off.

How many times a year? Do you think you drop your phone? Maybe like seven? Seven. I'm talking about I think it may like 10 to 15 to 20. Max is like that's a week. That's like once a day. I'm thinking hard.

I probably only live to like. I probably drop it over 20 times a year. 65 maybe. Like a good 10 or 15 years all my life. I mean a year is what? 53? 52 weeks? 52 weeks?

That's like every year you're. lose every, you lose a year every like five. Does that mean like whoever came up with this question knows when I'm going to die? Yeah, like a death note why I can see your death date above your death. I think why and then just

subtract a week why it's the grim when all of our times are. He has a little like little numbers over everyone's heads an hour glass, yeah. That's why he always looks at us like that He's like, he knows that he knows when we're going to die. You have 27 minutes before I go into Saga.

27 minutes to live. I have not been into Saga all week on purpose. Escape. I just have. I took like seven cookies bare handed today. Oh my gosh. It was so worth it. Wait, is that other questions?

Can we jump into current events? Yeah, that was it. I was going to say rumor has it. The Saga's where the noro, or the, what is it's the virus? No. It's neurovats. Yeah, the neurovirus is coming from, which is a bunch of people are sick, apparently. I've avoided it.

I have also avoided it. I was worried, like, leading up to having this podcast with you guys, I was like, I'm just going to start, like, barfing. Right before I'm slow. Great content. Hey, so Max is off to the side in the corner of the room barfing. Yeah, yeah. Storm's holding his hair back on, I'm just going to get my way. I'm just going to give my way it just like a 10 minute time.

But, dude, people are out. All of my classes are, like, down to 60% capacity. Yeah, no. I had two classes canceled today. One of them just like email in the morning like, no class. And then the other one was like, oh, I'm out of town. Also, my kid's sick. I was like, okay. Yeah, I'm being turned inside out. And then I had Zoom class today. Oh, whoa, what class was that? It was a photography class that I'm in right now. It's with Alex Burr and we were both like, oh, we don't really want to go to the graphics lab and like do photography. And then our prof is like, hi, I'm the instructor. we're doing Zoom class and then Alex is like Alex is in a car during this class Wait

during he's like zooming on it Yeah he's just driving The road Dude driving during your class Is a power play I had a So in New York

When you do When you want to get a driver's license You have to take like a class for it If you're under 17 And I wanted to get my license early

So I took the class And it was all virtual. The whole class was Zoom. Half the time, this dude would be on like a bus. Like a school bus. Like a public transportation. I was like, where are you, bro? He's like, I'm getting back from tennis practice.

Getting back from tennis practice. Wait, the teacher? The teacher? The teacher. Oh, wait, what? The tennis coach. And so he would be coming back from tennis practice trying to teach like 16 16-year-olds. I mean, what a better way to

teach someone about driving if you're sitting in a car, you know. It would just really make the Wi-Fi hard. He's like cutting it. He just cut out every like 20 seconds. Did you pay for this class? I didn't pay for it. Or did someone pay for it?

My parents did. And he was 16. Cutting in and out. Yes. It was terrible. That's so funny. I got my license though. And my driving reflects the quality of that.

I was going to say, is your driving like messed up now because you learned Zoom? I'm an awful job. He was like cutting in and out like, okay, hit the left stick. you should be turning right now wait what you missed a step there was it I just thought of wasn't you that storm that drove a stick shift and didn't know how

I thought it was Jones it was Jones and me together so was it whose car was Hawkins it was Hawkins car so our friend Andrew Hawkins has a stick shift car and there was one time I think I think I was going on a date and I needed flowers yes it was your first date it was my first date with somebody

and I was like we got to get to, neither of us had a car, especially an area, we were like, we gotta get to somewhere to get flowers. And we didn't have a car, so we were like, who's got a car? Hawkins, like, I got one, but I'm out, just grab the keys, put the car back, whatever. We were like, great. We got there, we realized it's stick shift. We're like,

oh no. So, neither of us do how to drive stick shift. Fortunately, we were fine. We didn't damage his car, but we did have, you know, if you were to shift, it, like, like, moves forward and backward, like, real clunky, like, when you started up. And it's kind of hard to tell what's reverse and what's forward at first. with the show.

One that says wild. Did you just go one speed the entire time or did you like figure out how to like shift gears? We didn't figure it out. So we just went on speed

and we knew that if we stopped down the way to the freeway to Walmart. We knew that if we stopped the car it would lock up so we couldn't we had to keep it rolling so we saw a red light in the distance and we just started slowing down

and rolling up to it because we didn't want to stop it lock up so that it turned green so we could speed back up into the we were like oh God oh no no I remember that message being sent in the chat, but I could have sworn Andrew specified, hey, this is a stick

shift car. I was, because you asked for a car. This is how I remember. You asked for a car. Andrew was like, I have one, but someone else has to take it. And it's a stick shift. Uh-huh. And Jones was like, I got it.

I can drive stick. And then he just couldn't. He drove like a tractor. Yeah. He did not know how to do it. It was like, co-c-c-c-c-c-c-fro from the beginning. We were like, oh, my gosh. And we, I don't remember.

We like, it took us a while to get it restarted after we went inside and got flowers. Like it took us like 20 minutes to figure out how to turn the car back on. Wait, hold on, whose car did you use for the date? Or did you take her to Saga? No, no, it was her car. Saga date. She drove you to the first date, brother, your car. No, no, I think I drove her car.

Oh. Nate, you look like you've been on a Saga date before. I have not. Storm? I have, but not a first date. Like, yeah, like, I've gone to Saga with something I've already been on a date with. Okay. In relationship, I've been to Saga.

I went on, like, a sort of first date at AJ's. Oh, brother. Dumbest decision on my part. People just keep coming up to you. Like, what's up, man? Hey, I'm on a date right now. Busy. No, that, not going to name drop her.

Very nice. Date was, like, fine, but I was like, why am I, I'm dumb? Why am I doing a date at AJ's? Like, this is so stupid. Did people come up and be like, what's up, man? It was a real public place. It was late-ish at night. I bought her ice cream.

That's the thing that I did. And did you get a second date? Oh, no, I kind of just like didn't, I didn't pursue it after that. Yeah. Yeah, you're like, that's unrecoverable. The bag is, the bag's fumbled so much. Yeah, I know you're cooked.

Do we have any more events, Storm? We, uh, do we? I had a question from... That's your whole point. I know, I know, I like to play it up. I do have a riff question to go off of the Zoom call thing from earlier. I was wondering if you guys have any, like, interesting, Zoom call experiences from like 2020 when there was like the the big stay home pandemic stuff.

Like what was your guys experience with that? Because it seems to be very different in different parts of the country. Yeah. So my school used an app anyway, like most of our like texts and assignments would be on an app. We had iPads. And so the app had a built in like Zoom call feature. It wasn't Zoom. but it was like a built-in call feature.

Yeah. What were they called? Conferences. They were called conferences. Sign into your conference. Yes. You'd be texting your friends, bro. You're on the conference?

Are you playing Fortnite? You'd be like, I'm playing Fortnite. It's one of the two under that age. Yeah, and so we didn't have any, like, problems, I guess. But, I mean, other than just technical difficulties, because the teachers could not figure out. No. No, it's so funny.

things. 40 to 60 year old people during COVID. They're like, you're going to figure out to use technology and do Zoom class with all of these. We pranked the heck out of our teachers when we had to do Zoom. We didn't have to do Zoom for very long.

Like people, where I'm from, we got pretty fed up with it, and we were done after like a couple months. Like, like, and you just went back to school? And we just went back to school? And we did it for the rest of that year. Yeah. The next fall, they were like,

yeah, we're not doing this anymore. Same. But those couple months, like March, April, May, that spring, we messed around with them so much. Like we would see a bunch of videos of people doing like, you know, like the pass the pencil kind of thing

to the guy next to you or whatever because I think you can move around now but used to be like there was a set order that the Zoom ones would be in. Like the windows of everyone. The windows. So like you would know who's to your left and you could like do funny things like pass them something

and then like grab it from you. Or just like log in and then like have your brother be there instead of you or something. Like just just random funny stuff that makes their teachers go like to put the glass up and like what? You can also name yourself, like, logging in or, like, buffering. Like buffering, waiting. I think one thing I did, what is it?

Shout out Hillsdale Academy, Zoom. That was a very interesting time. I don't know if any of my teachers are going to be listening to this, but it was all listening. It was just among us. It was among us during class, just constant among us. Why did I think of that? No, yeah, it's so fun. And what was the other thing?

There was one time where I filmed, like, 30, seconds of like repeated footage of myself like sitting in front of my computer and I didn't want to go to class so I just like put that up and I remember looped it like one one of my friends was like he texted me after the class and he was just like hey like was did you have like the zoom muted because she called on you like like she called on you multiple times and you were just like you were just like didn't just a video of me just like yep I'm nodding just like yeah I would do it an occasional nod like Yeah, yeah. If the teacher watched what I was doing close enough,

they could be like, this is just a 30-second loop. It's the same thing over and over. That's amazing. I think of a storm, other than that, the pranking. Any other interesting experience? Well, we... Hold on, how old world have you guys? Because I was a freshman in high school.

Freshman, yeah. Storm here a little bit. I guess I was a sophomore. Yeah. Because I took a gap year. Before high school? No, no. After what?

After high school. Middle school gap year. I'm going through a lot right now, guys. I just finished eighth grade. Between the... Yeah. You gotta get my money up. I'm eighth grade.

This is deep. You gotta get my money up real quick at a Ford High School. Yeah. No, yeah, I was a sophomore. What were we doing then? We had, I had a smaller high school experience because I went to like larger middle

and lower school. And then my parents were like, nah, we're not doing this. So we like homeschool hybrided or whatever for high school. Yeah, it was horrible. A lot of it was horrendous. Some of it was awesome.

But the Zoom calls were rough. we had this one teacher old old man who just could not get it to work for the life of him and he like had this he had he had this background set

he doesn't know like you'd do the backgrounds but he didn't have a green screen so it all looked weird and like meshed like the pixels into his face and it took him like half of class one time

to figure out and he was like I just could not figure it out and it was some like picture of like his family so it was like flesh pixel morphed into his family photo yeah

It was bizarre. I actually had a really, like I had a really, really nice COVID experience. Like, first of all, the weather in New York that particular summer was just gorgeous. Because they shut down the factory, so there weren't, there wasn't just smog and death smoke. I do live in like a one-by-one apartment, actually. It's like a Minecraft dirt house. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And so, like, the weather was wonderful. And my first period was a study hall, which meant nothing. And then my last period, he had like three kids all under five. And so he was just like trying his hardest to try and be on call. He'd always let class out like 30 minutes early. So I would be done with my school. He's looking at a camera.

It's just a smoke screen. I would be done with my school at like 2 o'clock. Nice. It was awesome. And I just go outside and play basketball and miss every shot and come back inside. Oh, yeah, I listened to the sewer. You talking about the sewer? Yeah, I'm terrible at basketball.

It'll probably, this will come up a couple more times. The sewer? No, how terrible I am a basketball. Yeah, I can't understand why. Like, I feel like you'd be so good. It's all in my head, but none of it translates physically. Like, I know exactly what I should be doing on the court. You watch a lot of basketball?

I watch a lot of basketball. Okay. Yeah. Like, I know, like, I can go band for band with, like, anybody. Like, start just naming Hoopers. Just like Knicks players? Well, I don't actually. I don't support the Knicks. You don't follow?

You don't follow you? I don't support the Knicks. Nets? Nope. Darn. Darn. I'm the reverse. verse, I don't know anything about basketball, but people will see me be like, oh, you play basketball.

Yeah, because you're tall. But I don't know anything about it, and I'm actually pretty bad. I can tell. You played for us. I played for the sewer, and I was horrible. I did. I was one of the only people to make points in that game, though. It was purely because I was like, oh, I could jump up and reach the, reach the roof. You should have dunked. I should have.

I don't know if I can if I can dunk. I don't think I have before. Wait, why don't you dunk, though? That's the real question. Because I'm 5, 6. I know, but I feel like we still had such a good opportunity to put you up on, like, Jack Peterson or Jack Baldwin's, like, shoulders or something. We tried.

It didn't work. They couldn't lift me high enough because I weigh. I'm like a neutron star. Big bag. I don't, I'm very small and size. I'm extremely dense. You're like uranium pulled up from under the ground. Yeah.

Yeah, just an iron. You're like one of those acme anvils. I am actually, yeah. Weight written, 4,000 kilograms. I do also do crush burghers. all the time and I just can't fall on little bees and birds

You cry We're like roadrunners Yeah Yeah Meb me Meb and fall That's That reminds me

Roadrunner has my favorite Lunytoons bit of all time It's the one where they paint The Wiley Cay Paints the cave That goes through the mountain

And Roadrunner somehow runs through it And the wild Heoity slams against it Because he's moving so fast That he's phasing Through the particles Of the mountain

Like my teacher phasing through His family photo Yeah Yeah, literally. All right, well, I think we're out of time. We're out of time. We are.

It's been a long podcast, man. I'm going to melt into a puddle on the floor now. How depressing. That's what happens after the show ends, you guys. Yeah, we do. You melt in the studio, and then as soon as the next guest will come in, you'll, like, we don't exist outside of the studio. We discussed it in the first.

Schrodinger's podcast? No, it's, no, no, no, the podcast is the real part. We are the Schrodinger. It's Shrodinger's storm. Yeah, yeah. I wish I could have melted to a puddle in, like, the Terminator, and slid under the door last week when we got trapped in here

for three hours or whatever was but you know hey this time wait we should probably check to see if the door's unlocked there's no handle anymore but I think we can escape this time but Max thanks for coming on thanks for joining us
