From Summer Stages to School Bells

talk about Lee Schofeld like on our podcast the three drama mommas are there I want a kit I want the whole kit starter kit detective starter kit you need the hat yeah this is it has like a little thingy that clips on the top of it so you just it has microphones that do this on the top oh nice yeah oh so cool you just talk into it okay we gotta start exactly like because this is a brilliant idea we have to like when I was telling the detective so this is the start Chris is in our shot it's okay not just Chris welcome to

the drama mommas we've got some fabulous ideas going on right now so we need to get started oh yeah I'm Kristen I'm Angela I'm Kathy yes I like this idea we need to talk about it yeah I mean what what I we just get together on the same days we always record right or no no no we gotta go to the crime scenes yes uh yeah we gotta roll up in there and then we can tell the detective how to do their job and like this podcast and that podcast will have absolutely no experience or knowledge none it'll be like a comedic situation yeah because

we know nothing it's only murders in Lakeland yeah and then we can also talk about like past murders and investigations that I've had on and we can like the bone valley oh my god yes absolutely and bring some like community awareness to what's going on to some of these like things of people that possibly might be on death row and be not guilty yeah there's a lot of that going on mm-hmm all right so yeah we'll be working on our all about it in our free time yeah yeah hey well I mean we have downtime now the kids are back in school that's right thank

god yes yes schedules are starting to like even out a little bit I'm just excited that both of mine are in the same school now I'm looking forward to that which we haven't had since fifth grade mm-hmm yes yes very nice just for the pure fact that you didn't have to go to two orientations and melt oh my god it's so far I have never been so hot yeah as I was at orientation every time I get in the car it says it's 108 degrees my whole life I have I don't ever remember being this hot ever it's super hot it's funny because like I

was thinking about it this morning they used to announce on the like when you would watch the news in the morning they'd be like oh it's a heat wave you know I haven't heard that word it's just hot it's just hot there's like all these heat advisories yes and we are at an intense heat advisory right now so like we're in the middle of hurricane season right now and there is not a peep going on I think that Atlantic Basin very concerning yeah Chris was telling me too like the waters are like 92 degrees yes like I'm not getting in the ocean it's hot no

correct it's hot outside it's hot in the ocean well it's killing the coral reefs it's well yeah which it's been doing um there was like a whole spot I don't know if you ever watch that the whole special on the white coral yeah I might have been on Netflix maybe I highly recommend because it's like the bleaching of the coral and right worldwide yeah it is a whole ecosystem and what's what's good I guess about there not being a lot of storms out there is because when you have nice warm water yeah that can make it really really yeah but maybe there's like you know

such thing as too warm and maybe that's where we're at yeah yeah could be it's like I don't know either not doing it yeah it's a big dust storm open the front door and it hit me like a wave so like I was like nah it takes your breath away is what it does it does look at those poor kids like the athletes that I know players are the marching bands they were playing football this just the other day because we have to drive by it to go to North Lakeland and um yeah because they the stadium for Lakeland High is not attached to the

school and then it has it's like the main drag of Lakeland is dividing that and where people park so they always have like cops out there to let people wander back and forth and you have to go slow through that area and stuff and is that Tiger Stadium is that what you're talking about no that's not Tiger it's it's the the one for the school yeah it's just up 98 yeah it's on oh yeah yeah yeah yeah what you're talking about okay it's but um knots on it yeah yeah yeah those poor kids they were walking in there and I was like oh man football

season has started and the Bucks they played the other night it was like 100 oh my gosh I know that's wild PJ said yesterday um he was like hey I'm gonna take Max to the driving range like after we like and I'm like babe are you really gonna go to like the driving range and he was like yeah and then we got home and Gabby left for rehearsals and then Max's he came in the room he was like uh we're gonna go fishing instead I'm like that's probably better go fishing I don't think it's any better well at least there's like shade like a driving

range you're like yeah out in the middle she'd go to Topgolf or just then it's like shade you get food you've got yeah he wasn't there's fans with misters like that that's like it's a little bougie and you pay for that bouge but then you're not like you're still hot but you're alive to enjoy the bouge yes yeah yes yeah you're doing that he was just gonna take him down to the street to the you know sand land or Cleveland or whatever I don't know but anyway they didn't do that but they ended up catching a bunch of fish and having fun and awesome yeah

that's always fun they did that yeah caught some turtles I said stop catching the turtles oh dear he doesn't do it on purpose they just they like the worms oh they you know they're able to save them and salvage them or whatever but it's sad but there's some big ass turtles holy smokes a couple times I've taken him like yeah they're big they're big too big but anyway so yeah the weather's crazy everybody had first good good good first days of school yep yeah pinky got new contacts she couldn't get them out oh I was there I know you were poor pink she got one

out but six and a half hours later thank god for lolo auntie lolo got it out happy birthday just gotta drench them gotta drench them keep them well then once you get that mind space too then it's just all over like I can't do this yeah yeah I don't know if I could ever wear contacts I noticed she's not wearing them today no I told her to take a break this weekend so we're gonna try again at school I guess have we thought that one through well maybe she should put them in today I'd be fine if she waited until next weekend so we didn't

have that drama but I don't think that's how that's gonna go down okay oh good luck with that one I just know that her eyes were so sore she couldn't sleep and then she woke up yesterday just exhausted because her eyes hurt I'm like well your fingers were in them for six and a half hours so yeah they're gonna hurt yeah and they're futzing with them she can get them moved well they were I should I didn't know they didn't tell us that she needed drops because her eyes might dry out when they gave us the contact training we did two rounds of contact training

before we were allowed to come home with the contacts and nobody told me nobody said hey you should probably pick up some eye drops or you can take this same solution right and put it in your eye like nobody said anything to me about that so we get home she goes to school she comes home and they're like dried to her eyes oh my gosh poor thing yeah oh that's horrible so I went up to the store and uh she's like telling me she googled it and they have to be contact friendly otherwise it'll leave a film and we only have the one pair right

now because they're a month-long pair and uh so like I'm I get to the Walgreens and I'm looking and there's this huge section of eye drops and I was like I am in over my head so I bought two different ones that look good because like they were the least stocked on the shelf so that's usually a sign right so I'm like okay this one and this one and then I get home and as I'm walking in she sends me a picture of another one that's the same brand as the one that she uses for the actual contact clean stuff which apparently you can also

use that which I didn't know until PJ had told us yeah yeah so we put drops in her eye and she was like oh that feels so much better like no shit that makes sense that's why she couldn't get them out because they were just pasted yeah they were they were glued on there yeah poor thing yeah other than that though apparently first day went fine for our kids for years same for ours they had both had great days and excited about the year so yeah see how long that lasts yeah at least we started strong yeah yeah it's weird to start on a Friday

and then I know weekend first day of school weekend yeah but it was kind of our kids went back Thursday right so that wasn't bad so they did Thursday Friday they had great days awesome yeah so we're moving in the right direction yeah sending our love out to all those teachers out there yes yeah boy they have a job not not not only do they have to teach our kids but they can't even focus on teaching our kids because there's so many other things going on that they have to know about and be aware of and change policies and this that and the other yeah

the day before our school started you know the the notification about um nicknames and new policies and laws and stuff about that crap and you know all the teachers now like completely blindsided by this new law and the day before the day before like the night before school starts good gosh what is the we were just talking about that the other I didn't even know about it they didn't discuss it at our kids school but like what is how far does that go like can you do a nickname that's like a natural shortening of the birth name so like Gabriella would have to if I

wanted to call her Gabby you gotta sign it yeah but they don't have any of that yet they like they just like here's the law and TBD on forms to get it filled out so for now just but it says it's going into effect August 22nd did I read that yeah but by then we should have a form I think we signed a paper and yeah put our phone numbers and our signatures and like we give you permission to kind of yeah cover it yeah I mean I told the girls I'm like whatever you want to sign on you is this like a Florida state

like a state of Florida thing yes it's like a Santa's interesting one of many changes that have happened since about April yeah we just need to really be supporting and uplifting our teachers because yeah they're kind of in the thick of it they are can't have these books and you can't do this and you can't do that they've got to think that that's ridiculous like Michael I can't call him Mike or Brian I can't or Matthew I can't call him Matt like that's like so PJ and I were talking about his birth name is Paul he always went through school call me PJ that was

always a thing it was never a big deal I was like yeah you're PJ you know well the problem is like they're trying to tackle a very specific issue but still cast a wide net and so that means that they like they don't want to leave loopholes for the thing they're after so everybody's affected correct yeah it's their way I guess of being fair about it but it's fucking ridiculous yeah it's a mess so so send your teacher an email saying thank you or send them a cup of coffee or just we've got to support our teachers just the we appreciate you stuff yeah yeah

because it's it's yeah they can't just focus on I want to teach this their minds are on 15 other things so yeah there's all that red tape that they have to get through to even start their day and they may only have 40 minutes with their kid a day yeah I was gonna tell you I don't know if we mentioned this when we popped over the other night but uh Michaela has Tyler for her first period class oh who is on the podcast yeah TCM keys um yeah it's gonna be fun she's gonna really enjoy that class I think that's good so as in English

yep okay perfect yep and speaking of Tyler he got nominated for some I should have written it down huge award yeah like yeah look it up because that's yeah that's awesome I'm not surprised on his Facebook page I think right he is genius but very cool he is a genius make sure you tell Michaela no chat GPT I asked him about it so we were there for orientation in the musical theater room and we got there kind of early and I helped Parvati because she was she sent up an SOS I don't know where my classes are I helped her get all her classes figured

out and then we came back to the musical theater room and there was still like time to kill before we kind of got started and like Jordan and Frida and Tyler and you know all the teachers they were all in Susie Lambert's room and so I popped in there and was talking with him and uh I was like so have you figured out how you're gonna use chat GPT yet and he was like listen it was on one of my kids syllabus like you know cannot use this like you had to sign the form yeah that's funny okay so uh what a great honor to

have this work recognized the American prize celebrating American excellence in the arts winners will be announced soon so he was nominated for Winesburg his uh Winesburg Ohio a new musical which he wrote yes right um and we talked about that on our podcast yeah the American prize in composition opera theater film dance professional division that's amazing yeah yeah so exciting super cool and who's surprised um who what's the competition for or who's the who's giving it out I missed that part the does it say where it doesn't I mean it doesn't it just says the American prize celebrating American excellence in the arts it's click

of revitalized and bringing some new ideas and stuff and very exciting yeah very exciting times for that speaking of yeah what you got let's just talk about the theater just a lot of great shows coming up I thought we could promote yeah yeah let's do it you are helping rehearsal stage manager did I get that title right? Co-rehearsal stage manager I split it with Laura for nonsense tell us about that that's coming up well it's funny because um Alan was like yeah we've got we've got Jackie she'll call the shows and I was like sweet and he's like but we still need somebody for the

rehearsals and I looked at Laura and I was like because I was just coming out of Margaritaville oh gosh and so well she was in the cast too her and Chris were both in the cast but um you know I was just coming off of Margaritaville and thinking you know I need a break before we dive into Cinderella at Harrison and I was like uh I guess I could probably do it probably maybe and then Laura's like we can do it together we'll split it and it'll you know it'll work and so I was like okay well if we're gonna split it but then we're

just there together yeah and you know hanging out together which that's fine I'm gonna be every show I'm doing from Margaritaville on for the next like year we'll be with Laura oh my gosh yeah I'm gonna have funny she'd better like me that's right yeah oh you know she does yeah you guys like the dynamic together yeah so we'll do we'll roll out of nonsense which is actually a really cute little show I've heard it's really good yeah it's um small cast it is it's nine people we had ten but um we had a guy that was filling one of the like father brother roles

uh he dropped we we brought Tom back in which was he was in everything since Chitty um this season at LCT and um but he had to drop too kind of last he we brought he was in for like two days oh gosh and he was like oh I'm sorry I hate to do this I've never done this you know but so he we just ended up taking those lines and just redistributing them you know perfect and so um yeah it'll be kind of cool uh so it's nine people uh there's only one guy in the cast and he plays uh sister julia child of

god as in julia child that's that's awesome uh yes um and he was shrek yes he was shrek and he was also like the monster in frankenstein that was before my time yeah they're both of those were before my time I didn't see shrek either I did but um yeah that was really yes so good I would love to see shrek but I have not seen that one um but yeah so basically the nuns that are are in the cast are the survivors of julia child of god's sister julia child of god's uh vichyssois soup oh geez disaster in which 52 nuns die oh my

gosh and those oh my gosh that are alive were on like an outreach and they had come home to all the dead nuns with their soup and so wow they were able they through the great they tell you this story at the very beginning of the show through the grace of god they had fallen into some funds that allowed them to be able to bury their sister nuns until uh mother superior decides or reverend mother decides that she wants uh plasma tv what we changed it to smart tv because you're trying to update it yeah but she goes and she buys this tv and now

they can bury all the nuns except for like four or five of them oh my gosh and then so now they're doing a benefit um to raise money to bury to bury the last few nuns they call it they they have a whole number it's like clean out the freezer we've got to clean out the freezer it's by tomorrow morning because the health inspector is coming and they have to have the dead nuns out yes oh my gosh but the whole benefit and it's it's um the set is the set of grease in a in a like a high school uh gymnasium or cafeteria or

something right cafeteria yeah and um because the eighth graders are letting them put on the benefit there okay but the eighth graders are doing um grease okay and there's a whole bit in the beginning and it's just really really it's you're gonna love this show it's actually really cute and the casting is like really well done oh that's awesome yeah so that's um you know we might be able to help you well we don't have any flies okay which is fantastic we have two techs already two kids um so we need one on either side and then two spots so we just need two more

following friday like literally yeah yeah i remember oh it was horrible so anyway um yeah so we got that going on and that's a four-week run yeah and that's literally the whole fact oh wow probably got that on her list i didn't realize it was four weeks four weeks yeah is there a chance they'll even extend to because that's a big show like that's a show they're gonna probably sell out a lot i would think yeah i would think so i know they did really well with hairspray too yeah over at theater one yeah i know because i was yeah so we were under the

we were we were at margaritaville for the first two weekends of their four weekend run of hairspray in the third weekend mikayla and chris were both under the weather so we couldn't go the third weekend and then the 14th fourth weekend was sold out oh my gosh yeah so we never got to go see hairspray yeah i was kind of waiting to buy tickets because i wasn't quite sure when we were gonna be able to go and when i went on a couple days before to buy the tickets it was like three seats left yes us too and we went on like a thursday we

have um special place that one yeah oh always matilda um they have lion king the lion king jr experience which i don't know if that's different from what we did lion king jr i was going to look it up before i came but of course i didn't i don't know so that's your junior show that's happening in september starts september 27th i know someone is listening to the recording of this podcast at some point in the future doing the face palm like they're they're like yelling at the radio laura does that she does a lot she's yelling at the radio it is the same thing

so they just had auditions um like last past yeah oh for lion king they already did i don't i don't think they've posted the cast yet but that'll be super cute and then lct just had auditions this weekend for honk jr so they're probably i think callbacks are tonight but that's they had a really good turnout yeah october 6th which is the story of the ugly duckling yes yeah that's all i know about it but i've heard great things about it that one it's kind of i don't know about you guys but like we haven't missed a kid's show i know mr popper's penguin yeah

we have not missed a kid's show ours was sleeping beauty so since sleeping beauty we have not missed a kid's show and so it was kind of really it didn't feel right i was like why aren't we there oh yeah because we're reaching out we're doing yeah things well you guys are all kind of moved on there's not a place in your schedule no there isn't absolutely not sometimes you can get away with overlap but this is not an overlapping possibility no definitely not especially with cinderella so stella's in cinderella at harrison and they have a pretty intense rehearsal yes well but that it was

three pages oh that's right you're back i know i kept highlighting and it's and it's an excel sheet format like it's three pages front and back of rehearsals literally every day but sunday yeah wow it's intense yeah but it's gonna be good so that's and those saturdays saturday rehearsals are like yeah like 10 to 4 yeah oh yeah so lots of opportunities to get to the theater yeah and that's just like oh i have pictures pictures of what they built a model for the cinderella set i have pictures oh i bet it's magnificent i can share it with them you can't share it with anybody

no don't share it with us it's secret you might have to cut that out what's wrong with your face i have something in my eye abort abort abort abort but you know i'm learning too that there's other theaters like apparently mulberry has a theater that maybe we need to like just go and see one of their shows yes i've never been to the hanes city theater although i have a health center in hanes city but i've never like gone around here yeah and um i've never been to the city one was judah's um played tidings or plaid tidings wasn't that the hanes city one wasn't

that them but they don't like have a home base so they were finding a venue oh i don't know you remember that were you there for that did you not see judah and plaid tidings no i did not oh maybe i went with like do it at lct judah and he did it with jordan and stuff okay no i know lct did i think that was hanes city okay yeah and then they they didn't have there wasn't a theater so they just found some like venue in a you know a holiday in like with love convention center or whatever their type situation like yeah yeah

but there was like poles and things in the way oh geez it was it was the smallest menu that's what i would ever would have thought that you could put a performance in the ritz theater in winter haven we saw something there recently and it was there's a lot of little i haven't been in there challenges and things i mean it's a cool space yeah yeah yeah i know lct in the past had to do some stuff in there when they had redone the building that they currently use uh and they i've heard like laura talk about the ritz yeah yeah and how small it

is like the there's no wings it's just like the stage really yeah yeah but that's like those old theaters right that they're all kind of like that charm yeah and ghosts and ghosts every theater has a ghost yeah we went to so this summer when we were in highlands north carolina last summer we went to see jersey boys there and they used to be called the highlands playhouse well they have like redone themselves and they opened this brand new performing arts center which was absolutely gorgeous they're now called the mountain theater company but they brought back the same cast the same exact cast they had

last year for jersey boys it was so popular they brought them back oh that's awesome that's nice that's hard to do i know to get every single one of them it was so good but we we saw so many things this summer yeah we've been very busy yeah i mean between escape to margaritaville yeah hairspray which was like the show i didn't know we would like it so much i know i really didn't it was so cute but i mean yeah i mean what's not to like it's jimmy buffett music well it's just a loose plot that's all amazing actors in it and like to

hear jordan sing not like doing a warm-up with my child and get to really hear that so i know yeah and your kids so judgy at her and her the my horse that my i'm uh i'm so horny line that's what it was yeah yeah lilly kate was dying yeah i bet like oh that's my focus my teacher yeah she's a human there's some scene where everybody's going off stage grumbling because they get kicked out of the bar and laura's like i want more tequila she looks at me she's like what is laura saying like they're in a show it's okay and they're on vacation

and they're supposed to be on vacation that's what you do it's five o'clock somewhere that one yelp review called the pimple of the sea oh my gosh that was so there was so many cute lines that's too fantastic she was oh my gosh and cece and you know chris rodent yeah i hadn't seen chris rodent like do you you know well no he did this did he no he directed this yeah he directed orson's shadow and then rolled right into margaritaville yeah he was phenomenal yeah yeah i hadn't hadn't had a chance to even talk to him before or really even see him yeah i've

never really met him so you know orson's shadow was my first getting to know him and then you know he ended up as brick in margaritaville yeah he is funny uh-huh well it's amazing kind of a weird script can be turned into something fabulous when you put the right people in the right yeah roles yeah for sure so much fun and judah it was great yes we saw that then we saw hairspray at the inner winter haven autumn kerrigan you guys were yeah and then west side story with love which they used harrison's venue yes um and that worked out perfectly for them huh what

a great space yeah so between all that yeah it was one weekend i was like charging tickets like this is a lot of money yes which is why you should volunteer because then you can go for free yes and there's lots of volunteer opportunities yes so don't yes and if you're a kid you can get hours for that exactly which you'll need i think you're supposed to have 200 now to graduate is that what it is i think so we have so many because of just working at the theater well i think mikaela might have gotten 200 for margaritaville i'm sure because she was my

asm okay and then she ran sound when we got to production time check done yeah i mean mention all the other time all the other shows yeah i think she had almost 100 hours for spongebob last year i believe it because i think still had over 80 for finding nemo yeah i believe it yeah you get a lot of hours to get hours it's a lot of fun it's a fun way to get hours and it's that's fine so you're not melting i know well it's funny because we went to orientation at harrison and you know suzy lambert is kind of doing her you know

introduction stuff for the kids and she's like so you know you're gonna have to have hours you know volunteering or whatever you could of course you can do that there's community theaters around but is there anything else that you parents know that they could be volunteering for and i was like oh you could do the winter haven stingrays whenever they have a meet they need timers and you're just sitting there in a shade like with a timing thing and clocking the kids what is that is swimming swimming yeah perfect yeah that's at the theater yeah that complex yeah which is a beautiful complex it is

a beautiful complex the pool needs the pool's a little old is it but you know it's fine but yes i mean at least they did when we were there because the kids used to swim there yeah and they used to you know get a lot of hours doing that stuff right kids would but well and there's new rules about it too you have to get like pre-approval now where you have to sign a form and say what you're doing and is that what that form was that we got in orientation okay yeah so if you're going to do service hours check into that before just

don't go do them right yeah you may not get it right and then your time's for not exactly i mean not for not because you know well well yeah sorry the warmth that you're volunteering means absolutely nothing to kathy sorry i mean you know maybe what the initial primary goal yeah giving back to your community is always valuable priceless much more valuable than service hours sorry i'm just keeping it real people that's right yeah i should always keep it real anyway anyway my point being volunteer because you can work front of house you can usher you can do the box office concessions parking there's like

a lot of different ways to do that and then you don't have to pay for a ticket exactly yeah you get to watch the show theater yeah so or if you tech you get to watch it from the wings yes which is a different and very unique spot yeah to watch the show a lot of fun so when we start to cut you off but like when pj and i got back from virginia and we were like yeah we're gonna help out with margaritaville yeah we did that and i love the show so much like you know you really didn't even i was back there

kind of helping robbie had it under control it was fine but i was enjoying the show so much i was like i have got to see this like from the regular audience point of view like seeing it in the wings was wonderful but i was i had that itching so like that last day that sunday i was like i'm gonna get me a ticket and i'm gonna watch it from you know because well you miss out a lot i had to see it the lighting and all the different things you miss out on some of the things you don't even realize you're missing out on

yeah it's a big difference and because i was on stage left so like there were some things that i couldn't see like around the bar or whatever you know so it was just so cool to be we broke so much glass oh i bet i had a hard time watching it because i didn't know who to look at like i'm watching chris there's so many i'm watching the cast was only 25 people and it was like which you know after my new 60 yeah that seems of youth that's like that oh this is a small cast you know but it's they were on the stage

all together at the same time in almost every scene because you need entering and exiting right at the same time yeah you need like traffic patterns happening and you know dancing and stuff like that to happen but yeah it's a lot of it's a lot to look at it was because you don't know who to look at like yeah and so many friends right lots of friends lots of friends yeah yeah yeah oh so much tons of fun i love that show and it'll be like that in matilda because there's still a bunch of people over there that we know that we're going to be

watching when we get there yes and because it's a main like it's a mix it's adult and kids and that makes it just that much better you know it's gonna be fun yeah yeah yeah so that's what yeah we're deep in rehearsals again again yeah we had that little break and then it's like all right yeah i'm i don't know if we'll have a break after cinderella or not but i'm helping laura with descendants over at theater winter raven which is like their february yeah i think it's like february march um in their black box theater yes uh and then the next one after that

that we're doing together already have planned like the whole year's pretty much scheduled out now is uh mean girls junior yeah and chris and mikaela go to france for orchestra so it is final chris is going chris is going uh so yeah me and pinky will and you're going to learn how to asm i know i'm so excited oh that's going to be so excited oh she's getting the hook people i know sign it up here it comes yeah but uh laura's stage manager we're both asms and the second asm asm two night seven yeah you'll have fun yeah i'm excited about that yeah because

mean girls although it's the junior mean mean girls junior so there's one very particular song that is not in the in the junior i was going to ask about the karen one that that when she sings um about her little heinie sexy about her little heinie maybe that one too actually because those are two different to cut part of that out i'm sure they do my my skirts are short my tiny heinie something like that i don't know anyway no the one that she's like i give you sexy corn you know that i can be who i wanna be yeah it's like how do you

make that show appropriate junior wise how yeah does it follow the movie i've never seen the musical it does the movie we went and saw it in sarasota for parvati's birthday present and then i think we saw it in march i think is when we went down there that's about right okay um but yes and it's really good we just watched the movie just a few weeks ago because the kids had never seen it the movie yeah oh yeah that's lindsey lohan right yeah okay yeah we j and i will definitely help out backstage for that so sign us up yeah he's not auditioning for

that well i'm sure oh i don't know if she will yeah i don't know what the age group will be for that yeah i'm not sure but even if she doesn't we'll still help out yeah if she's too young or whatever i don't know yes she has never she's never seen the movie we haven't jumped that because there are some definitely some yeah i'm just listen she could probably handle it i'm just not ready for the questions so we're just gonna that requires your time well she didn't bring her to margaritaville she's 11 she's 11 yeah she'll be 12 it's easy to forget because the

kids are all together all the time and you know we've got a pretty wide range yeah like 15 or so right well michaela's well that's true she's 16 right yeah she doesn't know she's not really like in the theater group right like she's yeah the tech part of that but like yeah of of our kids that are actually doing 15 to 11 yeah yeah which and sometimes those years can be pretty large you know so yeah but anyway so big changes happen every year i know big changes so she'll be she'll be 12 by then you know so we'll see how that rolls for her

but anyway um but anyway it's going to be a fun show so we're going to want to be part of it regardless yeah and in every girl i mean unless whole county would be coming out for that yeah probably and if she's not doing that and she's doing something else then that would schedule what are the other junior shows that are happening at winter haven oliver oh i don't think she'll audition for she's already done it yeah i had a i had a whole like my brain just filled up with thoughts and went don't say don't say don't say oh okay only because we just

did that one yeah and it's i it's a classic yes it is a classic yeah it's a little dark take a big drink of my coffee yeah it'll be fantastic we'll see how that goes but um but yeah i'm who knows maybe by the pinky freaking hates that song oh i do too for her because that was our carpool years oh was it when she had to sing consider yourself over it which is like a 32 minutes hour mate oh every time i hear it i like get a little twitch yeah a little bit speaking of that so tonight's rehearsal at winter haven is they're

having a dialect coach come in coach isn't that cool for the whole cast that's perfect i'm so excited like can i sit in and play yeah i know for three hours i mean you've got all all of them have to have that accent to the point where during auditions they told not even worry about it like well we'll teach you that so that wasn't even a consideration good because it's hard yeah if you're in the audience and you're watching that and the kids you know are just doing whatever they do sometimes it can get a little difficult to understand yes so yeah that enunciation thing

well there's so many different accents i saw the um oh there was like a trick john pierce um he was doing this thing with a pencil that helps you enunciate your words and that was not even about an accent right of that just a good good diction while you're performing so that the audience can understand what you're saying it's interesting so you put the pencil like in your mouth long way in your teeth and then you do your lines and it helps you to enunciate better because you're having to go around the pencil so to speak my kids do that at home that's interesting i

know because sometimes they're like i'm like okay wait what i need you to step back and try that again because i got literally nothing out of that yep yeah well parvati is really bad because she's so soft-spoken like normally my struggle at home is completely opposite i'm like gab's i need you to bring it down for whatever reason last night she got home from rehearsal and she was on she was at 12 oh yeah to the point where i got up did you bring that down to a three yeah yes i was like gabby like um yeah and we can always understand everything she's saying

she's very good with her dictation very good enunciation yes she is but i for i don't know it was like 10 o'clock at night and i had asked her i was like gab's babe mom needs you to just bring it down she's like okay and i was like oh lord have mercy i just got it 12 to 11.9 sometimes i have to do that i'm like i just need a minute i can't pretend to care anymore right now so i'm gonna walk away regenerate yeah and i'll come back and pretend yes yes turning that off is can be difficult but anyway but yeah so i

thought that was really cool and not only but it's something that they can carry for the rest of their you know their experiences it's not just for this show yeah it's more than once because i think the big kids have it again at some point yep and then like they'll do specific ones just for certain roles as well so there's nice yeah well yeah because you know some of them are more like cock me right it's very different yeah accents i read like it was a game of thrones article and they were they did for mary poppins too yeah they were criticizing everybody's how different

all the english accents were which to us we may not hear it but to this person he's like this person really spoke irish and this person is american trying to do english accent it was terrible and just kind of dissected everyone so there's so many different types actual maybe like that would just sound like english to us but like to somebody who knows it well i mean it's probably like here in the south or southern or midwestern or you know boston oh yes boston it's your cousin from boston yeah all of those commercials you got to go to boston we did we did it was

a wonderful experience um it was the boston conservatory yes gabby went and spent a week up at the boston conservatory at berkeley so there's berkeley college of music which from the research that i did it doesn't look like they have a musical theater program but they have like other musical vocals yada yada but then there's the boston conservatory who at berkeley that brings in that piece of it and okay yeah it's a very notarized wonderful program that they have there for you know for your students for college it's a college program um and we got to go and spend a week and um we didn't

stay on campus you have to be 15 to stay like in the dorms and stuff so we did not do that but um we stayed like a half a mile away and the weather was fantastic it was like in the 70s no humidity oh so jealous yes we walked you know every morning i would walk her to the class you know to her building which was literally around the quarter from fenway park like you turn the corner and like oh there's the stadium you know um wonderful and sometimes i had to have a little sweater because it was a little chilly in the morning looking

just bragging about that oh yeah i am i'm putting it out there because it was great and we ate outside for the majority when i wasn't in because i still had to work so i would go back to the hotel and work yeah but anyway but that's okay it was great um and then pj and max were able to join us on wednesday evening so they came in um and they were able to do some stuff around town but like in the evenings for dinner we would go out sit outside you had their restaurants you know the patio whatever um it was beautiful we walked

around we had oh yeah it was great we got to we did a duck tour monday evening so what's a duck boy so a duck tour is one of these things that they have in boston and it's an old like military style car truck ship thing so it can go it's amphibious right so it can go on land and then it turns into a boat and then you can go down the oh god what's the name of the river i just want to call it the james and it's not um oh people from boston are gonna kill me right now get letters about that anyway

we'll we'll go back on that i don't have my phone i can't like google google but anyway so um it was it was amazing so you go through all the different historical parts so we stayed mostly in back bay because that's where the conservatory is that's where hotel was okay um and there's a million different parts but of boston but back in the day just a little bit of history and forgive me if i get any of these details wrong okay people you can fact check me but anyway um the original like boston back in the day with the tea party and all of that

was only like a couple miles big it was not like a large city it was all underwater so then through the years hundreds of years they have filled in a lot of what we know now as boston so like back basically correct yeah so back bay used to just be all water and now is a bunch of land and i think this it's over like 40 miles wide now the city is um and so the duck tour that we took there's like three different areas that you can pick it up at so you can pick up the prudential center which is where we did or

you can pick it up at like the wharf which is like the aquarium and faneuil hall and things like that and then there's another stop someplace else i'm not familiar anyway um so we pick up from prudential and it just brings you all around and and there's a tour guy and there's a guy that drives a boat or the car whatever you want to call it and um they just go over different historical things you go through you know big churches or statues or um just stuff that you know huge in the puritan times so there's a ton of old cemeteries and one of the

things that was telling me the guy was like listen let me just tell you for every headstone you see there's probably 100 to 200 bodies that don't have a headstone oh my really yes he said so these small little cemeteries that you see with these old old churches i'm talking hundreds of years right it there's 12 to 15 000 people buried there oh my god wow because they didn't have the means to have a headstone yeah and he said if you stop and you look at these headstones the puritans were pretty dark people so like nowadays we have like birds and flowers and like messages

of hope and such a great person you were and all these things he said no back then there's like skull and crossbones there's like the time thing with the sand and the hourglass you know like your time's up like it was very very dark wow messages on these tombstones yes that's how they were that was their mindset apparently um anyway so that was just a little bit of a little history and my personal history so my aunt vera is huge in our genealogy like i feel like every family kind of has one person or whatever yeah it's like big in that and that's my aunt

vera so she was able to trace us back so we have a signing of a um declaration of independence and his name is john hart and he's like our part of our lineage right we're also related to edgar allen poe who i don't know if you guys are familiar with him but he's a big author yeah had mental illness apparently and you know had some dark speaking of very dark yeah yeah so i'm like should i tell people i'm related to him but anyway i mean we're talking like generations generations but so there also is a statue of him there so we were able we

found it it's on like charles and boylston i guess i think anyway we walked by it it's right by where one of the big parks are and um so we had max take his picture next to him and yeah i sent that to my mom so she could see that so very cool anyway but no we had a great time yeah and so then gabby's musical theater experience was wonderful it was very um it was almost like taking college classes it was about 60 kids they were each um they had about 10 groups so you know no no no six groups so 10 in each

kid or 10 kids in each group anyway and they would kind of rotate through classes so she learned some tap she learned a lot of um they did they went over anatomy like a lot of theory a lot of why you do this with your voice the pedagogy thank you yes a lot of that yeah that thing um a lot of little yes yes yes yes yes a lot of tips like um being aware of your posture and how your body sits and you know um doing all these things like if you go by the tragus and you put your hand here and you close

your eyes you say rock star and you sing a little bit like you can hear or feel how things are connected in your brain just i don't know it was a really cool little tips and stuff that they did um one of the major big themes they did was ensemble work so how to be a strong partner how to um always make your partner look good they did a lot of skills on um like how to do like strong and wrong so they talk about it failing gloriously that was one of the first things that they talked about they said listen we are all here

to learn there's nobody here that's better than anybody else we are all here and we're all going to make mistakes up on that stage and we are going to fail gloriously so it's interesting because um miss frida teaches gabby about how to be strong and wrong so meaning when you make a choice singing acting whatever make it strong be confident in whatever you're doing because if it's wrong okay but at least you made a choice you know so better to be strong and wrong than to be quiet and right or not make any decision at all yeah correct yep so they talked about that um

a lot of balancing with the movement a lot of um just how to be i don't know it was great foundational stuff yeah yes and as a parent i really enjoyed it because at the end of every day it was from nine to four o'clock every single day um and they served them lunch but other than that they worked it was like they would go through the classes of the building and they would you know whatever um and they did movement and acting and singing and like i said they did tap i don't know it was pretty cool anyway um at the end of every

day there was a newsletter that went out and so you could read and it was this like three page newsletter all about like what the kids did that day what they worked on what the themes were you know what to think about for the next day they kept a journal so they had a journal so there was all of these like introspective like um topics and questions that they had to address for themselves and it was really cool yeah um they worked on each group had a couple songs that they worked on so gabby's group they did shrek freak fly freak flag yeah yep and

then they did um a jazz number from all that jazz rise oh see i wish i had my phone something like wow god she's gonna kill me because i can't remember but it was one where they did the tap anyway it was a song from some like it hop and so that was lots of fun so they got to learn that and then a bunch of the other groups they did monologue work i don't know it was great great and then at the end of the week they had a little share so just pretty much show the parents like hey this is what we did

blah blah blah they're like the ending piece choreo we just put that together this morning so please be like and they talked about how to be a wonderful audience oh yeah and how to be like engaged in what you know the kids were all doing and it was it was fabulous we're definitely going to go back and you can either do one week or two weeks we didn't do two weeks because she started school probably right that's not an option um but yeah she definitely wants to go back so way different than our experience that we had last summer right where that was just like

i mean of course they learned skills and things like that but it was more focused on this is the song that you're singing you know like you brought a song she didn't have to bring anything to this program they taught everything um and we're gonna do a dance and then at the end there's going to be like casting agents and you know that sort of thing managers and things are going to look at you there was none of that here it was just all pure yeah just yeah yeah yeah yeah there's there's good with every program and everyone is kind of unique uh one of

our you know our mutual friend moms who you know i'd like to have her on now that she's i was thinking about that today by the way because her daughter went and did the kristin chenoweth thing and then um also the one in new york yeah the artist alliance yeah that one um yeah i just i would love to hear how that experience went for them yeah and it makes you a more well-rounded performer when you're getting different things from just like having different teachers yeah learn something from each teacher that you can then bring and be more yeah and gabby's program there was some

competition because they had to audition for each part because the songs had solos and things so there was definitely still a little bit of that right auditioning and they actually had callbacks so like they learned about that process and you know so i don't know it's kind of cool yeah it is yeah it was good and that i liked it because it was connected to a university so the people that taught the classes were teachers from the university like her tap yeah teacher teaches tap for the boston conservatory like that's like a huge thing you know yeah so um as a matter of fact i'm

just going to share this with you because it's really hysterical so and those of you who don't know gabby you're just going to get a little glimpse of how she is but anyway and we love her to death and she's fantastic and we hope she never changes so anyway you know gabby has not ever taken any sort of formal tap she was like four or five when she took dance we're not even gonna we're not even gonna go there with that okay because that was like yeah yeah forever ago she was like a well and just four-year-old yeah we're not even gonna go there okay

but to gabby she took tap right right so anyway so she goes to their thing and i guess yeah gabby yeah it does she's like don't you you know negate me because i was four or whatever but anyway so i guess when they got in the room they were like okay so who brought their tap shoes and i guess a handful of kids because you know there's older kids in this class too so they they brought their tap shoes well gabby was like i didn't know i was supposed to bring tap shoes well now she when she was telling me because every day on our

walk back to the hotel i would get all the scoop i'm like i'm sorry gab's i didn't know we were supposed to bring tap shoes you know she's like yeah me either giving you the what for oh yes so then i would have liked to watch yeah yeah so then we're talking or whatever so she's telling me the story about how the teacher was like okay well you don't have tap you don't have shoes so you're non-tappers so you're gonna go to the back of the room well gabby was like why is he assuming that just because i didn't bring tap shoes that i'm a

non-tapper so she was all fumed about being labeled as a non-tapper okay yeah so anyway they went through the whole thing they still taught them as it but they were labeled they were called non-tappers oh it did oh it did so i listened to it for like 10 minutes and finally i turned to her and i said gabby i'm sorry that i'm gonna burst your bubble right here you don't tap you are a non-tapper regardless of whether or not we knew to bring tap shoes and we bought them and we purchased you know we brought them with this trip you would still be considered a

non-tapper because my dear you have never taken like a formal tap lesson other than when you were teeny tiny so that that and she was like just disgusting how dare yes how dare you how she's like well next year i'm bringing my top shoes and i'm gonna be a tapper and i said all right there you go yeah yes which means you're taking tap lessons soon yeah we're gonna have to squeeze that in somewhere yeah that's the problem that's why we never do dances because you you can never make the classes because you've got rehearsals and then you end up paying for a whole month

where you might have gone one time yeah which is why the private lessons were working so great i know caroline caroline we miss you i know i know yeah anyway so i just wanted to share that story with you i just had to buy parvati tap shoes for yeah harrison wow that's super cool i think it's a great skill it is it's really cool yeah well my brother-in-law's a professional dancer he teaches now and he says ballet and tap no oh gosh no i'm gonna get it wrong tap and jazz i don't know but i heard ballet and tap is where you want to start

because ballet is like the yeah it's the foundation which when they do dance at rochelle you get like some ballet and yes uh-huh like the positions and i gotta go ask it's one of those two two of those three that are core for musical theater i don't know we'll have to google it there's um in nonsense one of the nuns does a ballet like performance in the it's like a whole song wow yeah who's doing that her name is jade wow uh she's she's new to me i don't know she's new to the theater she probably is actually yeah um yeah but she's got a

whole number she goes on point and everything like it's like a whole thing yeah oh i love that i love yeah so it might be ballet i mean all the positions and stuff and form and everything understanding how to turn and all i bet it's ballet and yeah i will confirm and get back to you yeah because i know caroline started with that too yeah she was like okay we'll do that and i have no idea what she did i think she doesn't tell you anything she doesn't tell you anything oh she get in the car well how was it good oh did you learn

anything good like it was what did you do want to show me something i danced really no shit like yeah no shit yeah oh that was so much fun oh and then so just one more thing so then the guy was i guess he started engaging with gabby because you know whatever i don't know what she was saying but anyway and so she was like um he asked her you know why don't you do tap like why because she was like oh i haven't done it he's like well why not because like to him that's like his world you know why wouldn't you be doing

it and you're here at this program you know like i guess his expectation was that that would be something that she would come with you know and um she's like well i used to but you know i she didn't use the word retired but it was like i stopped or i gave it i forget what it is and he was like um what do you i don't understand what do you mean and she's like well i mean i used to and then i moved on i did like soccer for a little bit and then i got back in you know i started doing musical theater

and he was like you're too young to have used to have done anything and she was like oh okay well you know whatever so anyway they had like a little dialogue and i thought that that was kind of funny you're too young to have telling me that yeah pretty much like you're too young to have retired yeah what are you trying to say to me yeah exactly i know i know there are a couple girls that were there you know they're older and they were like so how old are you and she's like i'm 11 and they were like well you look like you're 10

and gabby snapped back and was like so well you look at your 42 so yeah right i know yeah she was like well exactly what does that mean to you like what do i have to look like to be 11 do i have to wear like midriffs and rings on my fingers like that's what she said what do i have to look like to look like i'm 11 you know oh i know i don't know what we're cut out yeah you do yeah whatever problem is she's smarter than all of us put together so you know yeah there's that i hope she never loses any

of that no gosh no it's fantastic steam you know whatever we just gotta live through it right yeah you just gotta live through it wait till hormones are in the mix oh that's probably what's going on so we'll just see yeah yeah anyway so yeah so that was boston lots of fun can't wait to go back and do it i cannot like i would totally tell everybody to go and do it because it's there's a lot of fun so i think it would be beneficial to kind of do both you know like even if you could mix it up through the summer do like a

broadway program and then like an educational program yeah you know because you'll get something completely different out of each of them well at lct this year for the camp they had master classes every day and that was lots of so cool but i did head shots yes and the head shots were amazing oh did you see selena posted one i don't know you guys you might not be friends with her oh her daughters came out phenomenal oh my gosh yeah i did so i i set up kind of what i wanted to do from a lighting standpoint and set a stool and i had the

kids get on the stool and then i positioned them perfect and then just did a few shots and then um jordan gave me a couple of teenage helpers and they were wrangling the kids somehow i missed shots of two of them oh and uh so i was like hey i'll i'll redo them if they want to come up and so i did that uh this past friday oh nice and uh one of them came up the other one did not okay and she came in and i was like did you sit for me and she goes yeah and i'm like how did i not have

a photo of you i don't know that's weird yeah super weird i don't know anyway so um but i did like skin retouching because like i try to get everything right in camera but like then there's blemish removal and you know stray hairs and things so i fixed all of that stuff and then you know did some color changes and things like that to make the photos really nice you know bring out the color of your iris and that kind of thing hatch lights and things and um yeah i was pretty pleased with how they came out yeah it was nice yeah so if you

need a headshot done yeah well i i left a whole box of cards up at the theater too yeah yeah they're still there they're out on the they were out on the table okay yeah yeah we need to get some done for gabby now that she's got her braces off so i need to do all that yeah get those done because her face will say of all the kids max has the most flawless skin oh doesn't he because i'm like in order to do the retouching i am in at almost a pixel level like yeah you know really zoomed in there and i can see

everything and i'm saying he is like like butter he is flawless so whatever it is he's doing i hope that never changes absolutely nothing yeah well i would think not either but but you know yeah he's got he's a handsome man it's uh yeah man child little boy it was impressive child about him he's the only one i ed there wasn't a single blemish there wasn't a single thing i didn't have to do anything except for like color pop stuff for max that's awesome yeah yeah well you know he's 13 so he is like completely into how he looks and watching what he eats and

you know so it's working yeah so at the school they go to he has pe like at 9 a.m and um also at the school that he goes to they do not wear shoes in the classroom and so that drives him crazy because feet stink and not everybody wears nice socks and there's he doesn't want to see toes and things like that so that stuff bothers him but also he hates feet too though so i'll give them that yeah yeah she's like ah so-and-so had her grippers out the dogs were out that's silly kate's the dogs were on the chair dog that's disgusting yeah right

now they got some grippers oh so he they're not allowed to have like a backpack but they want them to have like a drawstring thing whatever to bring books whatever back home so anyway so my or thursday was the first day school so friday he's got his backpack and i'm like babe what you got in there because like it's your second day of school you know like you shouldn't really have any books or anything he's like i have my lunch and i have deodorant and a comb and some body spray and i was like oh okay he's like yeah mom we have pe at 9

a.m and i do not want to be a stinky kid and i was like max i love you so much did the ax body spray oh oh my gosh my brother when he was young because he's nine years younger than me he used to come and spend a lot of time like living with us he just wanted out of my parents house and you know we were a safe haven yeah anyway but when he was like i don't know was he still in high school at that point yeah so he was still in high school but he would disappear in the bathroom for probably three

hours and he'd roll out and as he would open the door the axe body spray cloud followed him he has since grown out of that phase thank god but yeah when he was yeah that smell will take you right back oh man you could it was like a green axe fog they didn't roll out i'm like yep yeah i'll tell you so we were at um sam's club on saturday so yesterday and you know how they have like a free sample or whatever your card there so they're called dude wipes and pj was like oh man we gotta get it so like they sell them

we didn't purchase them what are you wiping with dude yeah so i'm curious everything it's like it's like a baby wipe but like you can use it for your balls like it could be it could be it could totally be that but white doesn't yeah you're thinking it so there's no fragrance to it so you could probably use it on any body part that you want it's just a wipe yeah so i brought it home and i was like here you go max this for your bag what order do you use the wipe in well so well not that first no so that's that's like

the first thing they're at face no so the first thing they teach you in below yep you always work head to toe i need to know the directions yes so when you go to nursing school that is one of the first things i haven't grown her not once yeah no but the first thing they teach you is how to do a proper bath and you always start from the head down well you skip i was about to say yeah you meet in the middle correct yeah and then yeah makes sense other than the dogs so head and feet well no so head like all of

these parts you know eyes mouth and you use a different one for each potty part so you're not like oh okay yeah you're not using the same cloth well it's a sample so it's not many i only have one listen he's only gonna get to use it once he can choose which body part he feels it needs to happen but we're gonna need to read it yeah chris is over there just shaking his head i know he's got a shot too so nobody gets to see it so anyway so yeah there's a thing called dude wipes max yes yes you just want to say that

balls oh goodness gracious dude wipes so yeah so max does have great skin he's yeah yeah he was the only kid i didn't have to do like touch-ups for wow yeah because there was 55 kids in the summer camp and that you know older teenage group yeah that's a rough age right there yeah they're tween tween team and it's hot outside and you're sweaty yeah and they were they were in the middle of like doing their rehearsals for their numbers and they would come in groups and so some of them were doing um the only name that comes to mind is consider yourself it wasn't

that it was some dance number they were doing and it was like a group of all the kids we know and they came in and they were all sweaty yeah right and i was like her hair was like y'all yeah you knew this was photo day well it's like it's cool i think i feel like jordan i think next year when you if i'm hoping you'll do it again next year they should put out a little email like tomorrow and maybe she did and i missed it but whatever she told all the kids yeah the kids knew because lilly kids yeah the problem was is

that i probably should have been on a day where they didn't have to do yeah dancing or do it first like in the morning yeah yeah because i was there after lunch oh you know they'll have recess and it's like all right time to go do school pictures and they're all and then they all use the same comb comb that's in the sweaty guy's pocket there's a big old jar of combs yeah in the barbershop yes the blue the blue water yep in the blue water oh geez so the guy's not like you know doing making the kids like my mother used to do oh

my gosh so true mom spit yeah yeah i know i know anyway oh goodness well you have notes what we haven't even really looked at the notes what well i just had the dates on here we've pretty much covered all about that um just to remind people that we have lots of good episodes around college application process yes because that's all starting up yeah mikayla is already she's already applied for scholarships nice because some of them opened um like august 1st some opened over the summer okay um but yeah she found some big like database yeah i was gonna ask you how do you know

yeah she said it shows on there like when they open so all the ones that are open already okay she's qualified to go apply for because she can't apply for everything obviously right right but um she's already applied for but she even applied for ones like with coca-cola and stuff um which if you get those you get like coca-cola for life oh geez yeah if you get the scholarship then you get coke for life that's crazy yeah which that is she would love that that is crazy yeah can she get like gardener or anything like that does she qualify for any of that stuff do

you know about that i don't know okay let's talk offline about that yeah okay i know uh she's probably got bright futures um and she's over 4.0 so she's probably the the top level of that which i think is 90 percent that the bright futures will pay but you have to go in state for that i don't know if she's okay i don't know what school she's going to end up at there's a couple here in state that she's interested in she's also interested in one in is it pennsylvania in pittsburgh right philly philly there's one in philly that's an art school um that uh

the reynolds daughter went to yes yes uh so yeah so she's interested in that one and then she's also looking out of country at some options as well she's just you know she's trying to think good for her diverse and you know yeah i've told my kids they're doing a semester abroad because my brother did that yeah i never did because i was too chicken and i regret that yeah i mean it's the age to do it right absolutely yeah i told her i was like you know go it's a great experience go i mean i've heard there's a lot of great schools like you

know just go look into them and find one that has programs that you're interested in right and go exactly do it while you can yeah i think didn't she say i can see her in like paris or well you guys are getting to go right well they're going yeah that's so cool um i think she was looking at some place in germany she looked at place in spain yeah my brother went to university of madrid yeah that'd be cool yeah very cool i mean she doesn't speak any spanish and she took a year of french already mm-hmm yeah anyway not that you end up able

to speak that language regardless of whatever it is when you take it in high school no yeah i had two years of it two years of spanish and i can't speak latin so yeah me too like i don't speak 20 000 years of life it actually was i loved it i took it because i knew i wanted to do something medical so i was like it'll help you okay well that i can understand i kind of wish i had done some latin uh when i was still an animal trainer because we had to know all the birds like uh by their their you know yeah

all of their latin names and then genus and species and jews like yeah all of it oh i took it through high school and college and i mean you know when you're translating the iliad and the odyssey like oh what is it you know but the really thing that i enjoyed about the latin is getting to know all of the mythology and like all of like the culture and the rome and you know how all that went like that was that was pretty cool yeah and very very very fascinating yeah um and how they lived and whatever so it'd be kind of cool to get
