Nick Loudon (00:00)
Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the break room. We're going to have some.
some sentimental times here today. I'm joined by the homies aka Corey and Zach. Corey and Zach, let me get a whoop whoop.
Corey Haines (00:17)
Whoop whoop. Whoop whoop. Whoop whoop.
Zstvns (00:17)
Oop.
Nick Loudon (00:20)
I love that in the
intros to these I could basically ask you guys to do anything and you'll be so caught off guard that you might just do it Yeah, you're like, I guess I have to say whoop whoop. Okay, sweet Today we are discussing our younger years when we were spry young lads in School, so we're talking about school and schooling ages I have three questions related to this
Corey Haines (00:26)
Yeah, just do it. It's peer pressure.
Nick Loudon (00:47)
And so I wanna get all of your opinions on all of them. The first is, who is your favorite teacher and why? The second one is gonna be, did you ever get a detention or get in trouble for something? And what was it? And the third one is, what is the best story that you have from school? Like what's something that actually happened at school or at lunch or something like that? I want just like some classic 15 year old crazy shenanigans, that kind of thing. Does that sound good?
Zstvns (01:15)
Does it have to be 15 or can it be? ⁓
Nick Loudon (01:17)
No, it could be when you
were five. don't or you could be younger. Yeah, it's not I was gonna do just high school, but I feel like any schooling age is probably fine Cool, let's start with favorite teacher and I actually want to hear Corey's because I know we went to high school together So I'm wondering if I know his favorite teacher
Zstvns (01:27)
Okay.
Corey Haines (01:37)
Well, I was homeschooled, so my mom was my favorite teacher. No, was kidding. I actually didn't like that at all. I didn't like being homeschooled or having my mom as my teacher, which is why I stopped being homeschooled. My favorite teacher, it's hard because, well, no, it's not. It was definitely Mr. Thompson because we had film class and he was like so chill. I remember like it would be like senior year and like,
Nick Loudon (01:40)
Seriously
You
Corey Haines (02:05)
during the movie when we're supposed to be like paying attention and watching notes, he would come back to like my table with me and like, you know, one or two other friends. And he just like kind of crouched by us and be like, so like, are you guys gonna do after this? Like, what do you want to be when you grow up? And just like talking to us, we're like, okay, you want to just like talk? Cool. And then I remember I told him, I was thinking about getting into accounting and he was like, don't do that. Trust me, that's stupid. He was like, I did accounting too.
Nick Loudon (02:26)
Yeah, he's great.
You
Corey Haines (02:35)
Just trust me, don't do that. He was just a really chill guy. He was cool guy. I miss him.
Nick Loudon (02:37)
Dude, he was right.
⁓ Who was in your,
who was in your, that class with you?
Corey Haines (02:48)
Well, sat next to me was Johnny and Ryan. ⁓ But I mean, we had a lot of people in the class. We had it fifth period. So it was, there was like two segments of us as seniors. There was the kids who got out at lunch and the kids who got out right after lunch at fifth period because lunch was between fourth and fifth period. And so was like, just imagine all the people with five periods that was in our class.
Nick Loudon (02:51)
⁓ nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is the divide is the kids who had backbone and the kids who didn't. The kids who had backbone were like, no, my last class is fourth period. And the kids were like, if I want to be on the college track, I need to go to fifth period, which was a lie, by the way.
Corey Haines (03:23)
you
no, but you know what? There
wasn't, yeah, I was totally lie. College prep is such a scam. But also there was another divide because then there is also the kids who had five periods, but had actual like English four or like, you know, AP English or something. And I was like, no, dude, yeah, I'm taking film, bro. I'm watching Batman and Wes Anderson.
Nick Loudon (03:49)
when you could have just taken film's class. Yeah. Yeah. I had that class ⁓ with Jeremy and we just goofed off the whole time.
It was great. ⁓ That's great. Zach, do you have your favorite teacher locked and loaded and ready to go?
Zstvns (04:04)
Yeah, I have two. So my first pick would be Mr. Selby, who was my eighth grade US history teacher, because he was super awesome. We watched The Patriot in his class, a TV version. So it cut out anything that was, it turned all the blood to mud by changing the saturation of the film. Yeah.
Nick Loudon (04:19)
you
Corey Haines (04:28)
you
gray scale.
Nick Loudon (04:32)
interesting.
Zstvns (04:33)
And
that was a super cool class because US history is awesome. And he made it really fun. was also, I was in the advanced classes. So we got to do a lot more fun projects. Like there are people who we did get to do more fun projects. It's the kids who are in freaking like remedial classes or normal classes that have to do what this was middle school. So this would be seminar. Like, you know,
Corey Haines (04:44)
usually don't go together.
Nick Loudon (04:46)
you
Hey, hey.
Corey Haines (04:53)
When you say advanced, you mean AP?
⁓ okay. It's not even,
middle school isn't even real school.
Nick Loudon (05:03)
Yeah.
Zstvns (05:03)
It
was a real school. actually, it's like, yes, it is 100%.
Corey Haines (05:04)
No.
The funny, you know, elementary school is like, let's learn how to play nice with each other and do arts and crafts and do like basic, you know, math. Middle school is just like a trial run for high school because then high school you do all the same things over again, like literally the exact same things over again.
Nick Loudon (05:21)
Yeah.
careful.
Zach's wife is a middle school teacher.
Zstvns (05:28)
Right. No, she would agree. You do the
same things, but it's still real school because of high school is real school and you're doing the same things just as a middle schooler. All it's doing is sifting out the people who are going to be failures in high school from people who are not going to be failures in high school, which is why I was in the smart classes because I was not going to be a failure in high school anyway.
Corey Haines (05:41)
That's when it's decided.
Nick Loudon (05:41)
I will...
I will,
hold on, one quick aside, I will never forget the first time I met your wife, Zach, she was like, yeah, I have this kid who he realized that there was nothing, he didn't need to do anything. He's gonna go to high school. He doesn't have to do any work. He doesn't have to listen. He's just there because we asked him to be there and it doesn't matter what he does, he's going to high school. He realized it and that she had to be like, just let the other kids.
Zstvns (06:03)
Mm-hmm.
Nick Loudon (06:16)
do the work, please. Like, don't tell the other kids. It was like an actual, like, shift in my brain at that moment.
Corey Haines (06:17)
you
you
Zstvns (06:23)
Although still,
well, that's called social promoting, where they, to make it so that you don't feel the shame of failing and being held back.
And they'll do this all the way through high school actually. Like they will continue to promote you up and up and up and up and up until you graduate just because they don't want there to be any losers. That's a whole nother can of worms as far as like what it is. But you still do learn in middle school if you are part like Naomi teaches an honor science class and those kids actually get to do fun experiments and learn things. Same thing with history, which is why we got to do things like
Nick Loudon (06:48)
Yeah.
Yeah.
Zstvns (07:06)
Someone made a replica musket for the Revolutionary War, which was super sick. Brought it to school. Yeah, it got special permission. It's a musket. ⁓ you know, they're gonna be like, what is he gonna do? Like fire a shot?
Nick Loudon (07:11)
Brought it to school. Jeez.
I mean... Yeah.
Yeah.
Corey Haines (07:23)
All it takes is one.
Zstvns (07:25)
That's true,
yeah, good point. But probably not gonna have a great aim with ⁓ that one. So we did a lot of cool stuff like that, lots of group projects and debates. It's like we'd have to pick sides and go through like, are the loyalist camp for the Revolutionary War, you're the patriot camp. know, pose your arguments for why you should or should, why the United States should or should not defect from the United Kingdom.
Corey Haines (07:51)
Did you ever do like North versus South pro or versus slavery?
Zstvns (07:56)
I don't... I think we might have actually and that's you know which would have been really really bad. I'm pretty sure even if we did I got put on the side of the Union so I got to argue for the right side and everybody who was who had to argue for the South. What was that?
Nick Loudon (08:00)
That's crazy.
Corey Haines (08:11)
Okay, good. You're on the right side of history.
So you were on the right side of history.
Zstvns (08:18)
Right side of history. Yeah. Well, and everybody else was like, no, no, no, it's about, cause they couldn't say what the South was really about. Like we want to keep slavery. They had to make their arguments a little bit more like we were just for States rights, you know, and we really want things to fall, fall at that level, which is, know, even at 14, we were able to see through the shill of those kinds of arguments.
Nick Loudon (08:19)
Finally, finally Zach gets to the right side of history.
Zstvns (08:45)
So that would be my number one, Mr. Selby, eighth grade in history, or it would be my elementary school music teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, who we had from kindergarten until we were in sixth grade, because you would go see her once a week. And we learned how to play guitar, learned how to play ukulele. We would watch a musical movie for every year. like, ⁓ anything that had, there was a, an actual, like Oklahoma or
Mary Poppins, one year we had to watch, The King and I, anything that was musical. I thought it was a super fun class. And she was cool because you got to see her every year, which is awesome.
Nick Loudon (09:23)
Nice. Good answers. ⁓ My favorite teacher has to be from just before I was at our high school, Corey in eighth grade. ⁓ His, his, his technically his name was Mr. Porter. He taught US history. But he was like, I went to a charter school in Escondido for like a year before I went to our high school. And I
He was like a surfer guy, blonde hair. He goes surfing in the morning before school, like total cool dude. And I'm in eighth grade, so he's cool. And he actually went by Newby. That was like his nickname for his whole life. Everyone called him Newby. And so he wanted us not to call him Mr. Porter and call him Newby. So we all called him Newby, which was kind of fun. But he was the most like dynamic, interesting teacher I've ever had. Like, I remember we spent like a week
on the Battle of Gettysburg. And he like, he like almost acted it out. He didn't like, you know, pretend to march and shoot or anything, but he was like telling the entire story of the battle from like first person viewpoints or like third person viewpoints, like of the specific people and the specific armies and where they were. And then like, he would, he would give you like a mind map of like, okay, and then they were like camped over here overnight and then they traveled along this way. dude, he just,
I've never been a school guy, okay, but that was the one class that I was like, dude, I can't do anything but be completely locked in and what this guy's saying. Like, how do you get a group of eighth graders to focus? You talk about battles and war and make it really interesting. ⁓ So yeah, he was by far my favorite teacher. So Newby, if you're watching, I love you. Okay, the next one.
Zstvns (11:09)
Mm-hmm
Nick Loudon (11:20)
being, did you ever get detention or get in trouble for something? So I split this up into like two because I know you two are goody two-shoes. So I think the likelihood that you both have gotten a detention in some way is pretty low. But in case you did something or got in trouble for something but didn't receive detention, I wanted to know.
Corey Haines (11:45)
I have actually. Once. Yeah.
Nick Loudon (11:46)
Really?
Zstvns (11:47)
I've got
attention too, and I've definitely gotten in trouble.
Nick Loudon (11:48)
Yes, I'm so happy. Okay, let's hear it.
Corey Haines (11:54)
I actually don't know why I got detention. I'm pretty sure it was because of a certain science teacher that we had at Foothills who was very cranky and erratic. And I think for whatever reason just decided that she didn't like me for no reason whatsoever.
Nick Loudon (12:16)
You're
incredibly unlikable, so. It's like, what?
Corey Haines (12:19)
I know it's, I guess I should have known I had it coming, but she
like literally every single day would call me out or like, know how like some teachers, if they're, if no one like answers the question, they'll just like pick on someone that w that's what she did every single day to me. And I also like, it was a chemistry class and I'm like not really great at science, even though I love space and dinosaurs and whatever, but like the actual
Zstvns (12:34)
Mm-hmm.
Nick Loudon (12:47)
trucks,
cars.
Corey Haines (12:48)
Yeah,
rockets. The actual like, oh, electrons and neutrons. I'm like, bro, know, nucleus, osmosis, whatever. I don't care. Mitochondria. And so it was a chemistry class. And then she would ask me to like, you know, answer the question every single day. And I was struggling hardcore. That's the only class I've ever gotten a C in. And I think I just like talked back to her one time and she sent me.
Nick Loudon (13:12)
Huh!
Corey Haines (13:17)
and gave me a hardcore, he needs to have detention or disciplinary action or whatever it was. I remember, because it was even embarrassing telling my parents, was like, hey, I got detention. I think I have to go to detention. I don't know. So I went to detention. And it was actually so funny because it was nothing. I just sat there and doodled in my notebooks or something. I think I just did homework, actually.
Nick Loudon (13:21)
full detention.
Zstvns (13:34)
you
Nick Loudon (13:45)
Yeah.
Corey Haines (13:48)
I don't I like got in trouble one other time which is way funnier which is it was another science teacher ⁓ who was a funny old man without naming names who was like maybe senile maybe had dementia at that point we don't know yeah he was pushing his 80s 90s the kindest man ever but like completely unaware of anything that was going on and
Nick Loudon (14:04)
He must have been an AD+. I think he was AD.
Corey Haines (14:15)
we were also completely on our own during the class because what would happen was he would try to lecture us by explaining like the solution to a problem. And then he would spend the entire class with his back to us, just trying to solve the problem and be in his own world. Like, hold on here. I got to look in the book and back to the whiteboard and like scribbling around. No, that's not right. gotta go back. Yeah. And so, ⁓
Nick Loudon (14:40)
mad scientist. Yeah, yeah. ⁓
Corey Haines (14:45)
I saw actually like the problem of why he wasn't able to like fix the solution and so I was like Mr. Blank whatever Mr. Week Yeah, yeah, we love him Mr. Week Like I think I know why and he was all stop it. Just sit down be quiet be quiet And I was like no no like I know the answer I know why like and he was like sit down right now
Nick Loudon (14:55)
You can his name, he's fine. We like this teacher, to be clear.
Corey Haines (15:13)
And so I like went up there because I was like, he literally just had like one number off and I was like, Mr. Strong. oops. Mr. Strong. Look like this. And he goes, sit down right now. And then he goes, no, no, get out. And I was like, huh? And he goes, sit down. And I was like, OK. He goes, get out of here. He kicked me out of the class. But he didn't like do anything to me. He just kicked me out. So then I spent the rest of the class just like peering in.
Nick Loudon (15:19)
You
Corey Haines (15:43)
while he continued to try to solve it. And everyone was still just like doing their own thing. Like we would all be having like full on conversations or like playing games or throwing things at each other the entire class. ⁓ But yeah, I did like get in trouble technically. Awesome.
Nick Loudon (15:44)
Yeah, there was like a little...
My story also includes Mr. Strong. So
Zstvns (16:01)
Well, let's
hear it. Let's continue on the strong, let's continue on the strong tail.
Nick Loudon (16:02)
you want my next one?
Yeah, this is only time I ever got detention. So Mr. Strong, obviously slightly aloof. He doesn't pay attention to anything. we might, at home the day before, my sister had gone to SeaWorld. So she gets home from SeaWorld and she has like little gizmos and gadgets and toys and stuff from SeaWorld. One of them is this little Shamu water gun that you can squirt. And I was like, what better thing to do?
than to bring this toy water gun to school. Like this is where you bring it. It doesn't look, you know, it's not dangerous. It looks like a, like a whale. That's it. So I'm like, okay, I fill it up. I bring it to school. In Mr. Sean's class, it's in my backpack. I'm like, this is the time, pull it out. He's turned around. Every time he would turn around and face the whiteboard and be like scribbling, I would like spray it and try to get as close as I could to him without hitting him.
And after like maybe three or four times, the next time I was like, dude, I gotta get like as close as I can. So I ended up getting him a little bit with the water. He turned around and he was like, who was that? And I was like, what am I gonna like pretend? Like it was me, it's fine. Like everyone knows I'm doing this. The whole class is watching me do this. So I just put the thing down and I stood up and I said, it was me, Mr. Strong. And he said, go to the office. And he just kicked me out and sent me to the office.
Corey Haines (17:22)
Yeah.
Nick Loudon (17:32)
And I'm sitting in there and then like 20 minutes later, the like vice principals like gave me a detention or whatever. And then my dad called me like 45 minutes later, he was like, did you squirt your teacher with a water gun? I was like, I did. And he was like, well, that stupid, huh? And I was like, yes. And that was it. I remember I was supposed to go to detention on Monday, the following Monday, which we didn't have classes on Monday. It was like homeschool on Mondays. And I was like, mom, I have like basketball practice, but I'm supposed to go to
class like I and she was like just don't go to detention and she was I was like are you gonna call him she's like I'll call and I just never went and nothing was said it was great
Corey Haines (18:11)
Yeah, they don't care.
Zstvns (18:12)
They don't,
they don't have any teeth when it comes to parents, It's parents supersede or, ⁓ yeah, supersede everything. ⁓
Nick Loudon (18:16)
Yeah, like whatever.
Yeah.
KZ
Zstvns (18:23)
It's just annoying when they're actually douchey kids and they do deserve it rather than just silliness.
Nick Loudon (18:28)
Yeah, not like me. Me and my innocent
water gun squirting my teacher in class. It's very innocent.
Zstvns (18:33)
Mm-hmm.
It's just, that's just dumb. It's not the fairest. My story. I did get detention once and it was because we, some of my friends were like egging on a teacher of ours and calling to her as if they were trying to get a dog to like come over to the desk. Like, come here machine, come here machine. Like, come here, come here. And then she got really pissed at them.
Nick Loudon (18:38)
I, yeah, that's what my dad told me, yeah. ⁓
Zstvns (19:04)
And they all got detention and they said, that's right. When you mess with the bull, you get the horns. so falling off their joke, said, you have a dog's don't have horns, you idiot. And then I got lumped in with it and put in trouble, even though I was, I was not. So, and she held me, she held me after longer than anybody else. Like my, friends got to leave for lunch.
Nick Loudon (19:18)
What?
Corey Haines (19:19)
That's it.
Nick Loudon (19:24)
It's not okay.
Zstvns (19:32)
Like they were in there for 15 minutes and I had to stay the entire time. it was like, why? Like I was, I was saying that they're stupid for their inconsistencies with their joke. And she was just pissy. This is also a teacher who was hung over most Mondays. And so she wasn't even at school. Yeah. Classic.
Nick Loudon (19:50)
Go, dude.
Corey Haines (19:50)
Nice.
Nick Loudon (19:53)
Wow,
dang dude, that sucks. What? What?
Zstvns (19:56)
was annoying.
Corey Haines (19:56)
I just
thought of a really good story for my next one.
Nick Loudon (19:59)
Okay, we'll go. Okay, sorry.
Zstvns (19:59)
Well, I'm not done yet. I did it and
then I got in trouble when I was, this is total insight into my future Zach, but when I was seven, when I was seven, I was playing soccer out on the playground with some other students and this other student who is a year older than me hit me and then took the ball away from me. And so I go off, nothing violent.
or anything like that, I'm like giving him the double barrel salute and saying F and F, F or F, F and F, A, S, B, S, O, B, everything. yeah, dude, I had friends who had very bad mounts and I picked it up quite quickly. And so I threw down hard. I don't even remember exactly what I said because it was that much of just mania with.
Nick Loudon (20:35)
Bro, what?
At seven?
Corey Haines (20:42)
you
Nick Loudon (20:48)
Well, no.
Zstvns (20:58)
the words that were coming out of my mouth. And so I got in trouble, but I also said, well, I said all those things because that H-I-J-K-L-M-N-P, you know, hit me for playing soccer. And so I had to sort the lost and found clothes with this kid who hit me. Because I called him a bunch of names that made him cry.
Nick Loudon (21:18)
Ugh. ⁓
He sounds like a loser. But you sound dope, dude. I love that you had a bad mouth when you were seven. I just like, don't know any seven year old who talked like that.
Zstvns (21:29)
Who's the loser?
Corey Haines (21:33)
You are hard as F.
Zstvns (21:37)
Well, this wasn't when I was in school. The first time I ever said the F word was, I was like three, and you'll see why. I was at a gun show with my dad, and we passed by all these badges, like patches that you can buy, and one of them had Snoopy on it. And I think it was James Bear or something like that. It was someone who was a gun law advocate, you know, figure, I'm at a gun show.
And so it says, fuck James Berry on this patch. And so I walk up to Snoopy and I point at my dad and I read it and I go, dad, James Berry.
Nick Loudon (22:14)
Bro this guy's intense dude. I was scared. I was too scared at three ⁓
Zstvns (22:20)
I didn't know what the word was, was just the first time that I ever said it, I read it.
Nick Loudon (22:24)
Okay, Corey. No bat.
Corey Haines (22:25)
It is really fun to say it too.
you gonna give me the tension? All right, what's the next question again?
Nick Loudon (22:34)
story. Best story while you were at school. You said you had something really good.
Corey Haines (22:36)
Oh, okay.
Well, I just thought of one, which was that when I was in eighth grade, I had a math teacher and he was kind of this like zany young guy and he was super pale and was always kind of like sweaty and like a little like fidgety. And then like a month in we were all in class and we were just like waiting. No one was there for like 20 minutes. And then finally,
Mr. Ryan came in who was kind of like the VP essentially. And he said, guys, ⁓ classes canceled today. ⁓ your, your teacher, I don't know his name now, ⁓ is no longer teaching here. And so just like, stay put and like do homework and then like your next class will continue. And then like the next class, one of the kids in our class told everybody that they went up to
the teacher before class in his car to ask him a question about the homework and he was shooting up heroin in his car.
And so she went and told Mr. Ryan and then they fired him on the spot.
Zstvns (23:41)
my gosh.
Nick Loudon (23:41)
What?
W- How old were you?
Corey Haines (23:50)
8th grade, like 13.
Nick Loudon (23:52)
I wouldn't even know what he was doing.
Zstvns (23:55)
They
probably described it like he had a needle and he was sticking it in his mouth.
Corey Haines (23:59)
Yeah, yeah, they were like,
he had a needle in his arm and like she was, was doing drugs or something, you know, but like now, you know, he was shooting a heroin.
Nick Loudon (24:05)
That is insane. That
Zstvns (24:08)
That's nuts.
Nick Loudon (24:08)
is nuts.
Zstvns (24:10)
least it was heroin and not meth.
Corey Haines (24:10)
I was gonna say.
I guess. Yeah, good or worse.
Nick Loudon (24:14)
Yeah, good for him, ⁓
Zstvns (24:16)
Well, meth, he'd be know,
meth, he'd be angry and, you know, a physical threat, whereas with heroin, he's just...
Nick Loudon (24:24)
Yeah.
Corey Haines (24:24)
That's
true. Yeah. He was very like spacey. ⁓ only other story I thought that was maybe funny. There was a lot to choose from that like started to, I was starting to get reminded of, but this one's just more like silly than anything. But just like one of my favorite memories of all time in high school anyways, was playing JV basketball as a senior because it was a complete joke. We didn't practice. We purely like, we got recruited junior and senior year just because
Nick Loudon (24:44)
You
Corey Haines (24:54)
Otherwise there wouldn't be a JV basketball team. And there was usually one or two or three kids who did want to play JV or who like the coaches wanted to play JV. So they needed like a full team to actually play the games. And so was like me or the friend Jeremy, you know, like Mark, ⁓ just like, yeah, Spencer, like, or eventually our team like grew. started with just like five and then it went to like six, seven, eight, nine, 10, because we all started having so much fun.
Nick Loudon (25:13)
answer.

Corey Haines (25:23)
And I remember there was one game, we actually played against a freshman team and like four out of the five people on our team were literally seniors. And I'm like a big hairy guy, like I look fairly masculine, kind of always have. And so it was like a really close game. And I remember like we were starting to get really physical and I pushed one of the kids who was like being way too physical with me. And he was like the skinny little freshman kid, you know? So I like push him.
Nick Loudon (25:32)
Yeah.
Corey Haines (25:53)
And then like someone in stands, I'm guessing his mom goes, ref that kid has a beard. Because like I think they were kind of catching on that like we were not really a legit team. But again, it's like this is JV basketball in a D five league like who cares?
Zstvns (26:08)
I'm
Nick Loudon (26:10)
basketball team was like that our varsity was like really good and so these are all the kids that like we're all in a friend group that would play on the basketball team but because it was so good they were all like I'm not doing that and so then when it was like hey we have two people on the varsity team that we want to also play JV we need random people it like there was no roster it was like there was a game that day and the coach of the varsity team would tell the players like hey find people to play in the JV game
Corey Haines (26:15)
You're like really, really good.
Nick Loudon (26:38)
and we would just call all our friends. We would literally call and text all of our friends and everyone would show up and they would hand out the jerseys. It was awesome.
Corey Haines (26:38)
Yeah, like that day.
Zstvns (26:45)
Jeez.
Corey Haines (26:46)
I remember too,
there was one game where Caleb Hoffman was like the starting point guard, know, super athletic, even from, you know, being like a freshman and he made like a bunch of dumb turnovers. And so our coach was like, Hey, the next game, like you have to play JV. And he was super pissed about it. And I remember, I mean, he was just like, wanted like make a point. And so he scored like 40 points in the first half. And then I was like, I'm not playing anymore. And then played the rest of the varsity game later.
Nick Loudon (26:52)
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because the coach was just the head
coach just sitting there on his phone like waiting for it to be over So good. Wow, that's great. Great times I don't really have any other high school stories other than that. We all pretended to be like Addicted gamers who started a clan ⁓ And we pretended that we were like obsessed and like internet
Corey Haines (27:19)
Yeah, yeah.
Nick Loudon (27:37)
Sleuths that just like sat on our Xboxes all day. We'd wear those Under Armour shirts that look like X's, you know, I'm talking about Under Armour logo and we would just walk around being like Xbox and Everyone at school thought we were just idiots But we thought it was the funniest thing is like ten people all like obsessed with Xbox, but we didn't we were just like normal kids It was great. Yeah, that's very fun final words
Zstvns (27:45)
You
Corey Haines (27:52)
Everyone hated it so much.
Zstvns (28:03)
I don't think... ⁓
No, not really. mean, unless...
Corey Haines (28:10)
You didn't play any JV sports?
Zstvns (28:12)
I played, actually I was varsity wrestling and swimming every year from freshman to senior. But those aren't, well okay. Well you know one day we won CIF and that was just great but that's, I'll skip over that because it's lame. What's more fun is when Raquel, who is this really sweet,
Corey Haines (28:16)
There we go. The real athlete here.
Nick Loudon (28:16)
you
Zstvns (28:39)
girl who had Down syndrome, she would walk around to some of the classes when I was in high school. And one day she came into my math class and I got into a dance off with her. And so she like, you know, strutting her stuff inside. It's not a dream. It actually happened. And she would always come and say, are you challenging me? And say, yeah, I'm challenging you to a dance off. if you, um, you know, if you weren't careful.
Nick Loudon (28:53)
This is a dream you had. This is not a real thing.
Corey Haines (28:57)
awesome.
Zstvns (29:09)
She'd show you up and this time she got the best of me. Dude, I can't dance. I'm horrible in front of everybody. Some good stuff. Raquel was the goat. No one could beat her. Not even JLo.
Corey Haines (29:15)
beat you? Dang. That's embarrassing. In front of everybody.
Nick Loudon (29:18)
I hate
the whole math class, dude. That's tough, man. Sorry. Yeah.
Corey Haines (29:28)

Nick Loudon (29:35)
Are you challenging me, JLo?
Corey Haines (29:35)

Zstvns (29:37)
Are you challenging me? Mm-hmm.
And she went straight up like, you got the eyebrows and everything. I was like, are you challenging me?
Corey Haines (29:46)
You should have been like, you can't see me.
Zstvns (29:48)
If
you can't see me, then she'd step all over you. Just boom, boom, boom. It's like step up, but ⁓ way more difficult because you were going to lose.
Nick Loudon (29:48)
Yeah.
So bad.
Corey Haines (29:59)
Have you seen Shane Gillis' bit about how every single person with Down syndrome loves John Cena? Yeah, dude, you gotta look it up. It's like the universal call sign for people with Down syndrome.
Nick Loudon (30:05)
