As we've mentioned before on the show, our father is a

Philosophy professor. His concentration was medieval philosophy. It led to so many interesting discussions around the dinner table when we were growing up and it also led to what both of us becoming

I didn't officially declare but I was going to be before acting derailed my philosophy career. I was I was a philosophy major. I was planning on majoring. You picked a more lucrative path.

It's slightly I suppose does anybody make money as a philosopher? I mean like acting money. They don't make dodgeball money.

No, but so that's kind of gross to talk about. But any any who so when I got to college I took I signed up for a philosophy seminar about Plato.

I was Friday afternoon. So I figured I it was nice. I wouldn't have to wake up early for it and and I loved it. Mr. Miller taught the class shout out.

Vassar College is Mr. Miller. Mitch Miller. He was such a good teacher and I really respect and really liked him. Just liked him as a person.

Unfortunately the night before Thursday night, the night before Friday, I would go out to this part.

There was an on campus bar called the mug and my friends were bartenders there and so the appeal of free drinks free beers was just too strong.

And I would I would have too many to be honest and so when I went to the seminar on Friday, I was struggling to stay awake and a few times Mr. Miller had to wake me up, which was so embarrassing.

And he did it in a way that was so gentle and not wanting to embarrass me and it ended up causing even more shame because I like I said I just really liked him and I was and I was genuinely interested in the class.

But of course, I mean you fall asleep in class that would suggest the opposite. Ironically, it was because I was hanging out the night before with my platonic friends.

Wouldn't she like to go back to college sometimes? Don't you think that like I wish I could do it all over again and take it more seriously?

I do and then I think about how kind of untethered I was and how much more grounded I feel and I try to imagine going back there and not being there mentally, you know, not not.

No, I mean now like with your brain now the way you are now to go back and take classes and to learn stuff, but then I would feel like an old outcast, you know, I'd feel like a.

You'd feel like an old latch that too speaking of old latch let's get into our podcast come along with us latches young and old life could be a dream.

You're listening to life is short I'm your host Justin long life could be a dream sweetheart.

Do do do do with me is always is Christian he's smiling my coos Christian he's smiling because did you want to playfully introduce yourself as your latcher host just kind of and you would hope and you were afraid rather that that would become a sound bite that.

Maybe subconsciously maybe because there have been sound bites now getting picked up from the show because of because of my my relationship which is why I'm so actually a big reason why I feel like I wouldn't want to go back to college I just feel so like stable and I just feel so good now.

Well you also I think you associate college with with girls and yeah freedom and fun and all that and and you don't I I suspect that you still don't think of colleges a place to learn.

Like you think of all the trappings of college way more than you know what the actual learning at college I think you just busted me because i for sure yeah.
