| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Jim. So this is actually a pre episode discussion that really turned into a short |
| 0:06.5 | episode of its own. A content was good enough that I didn't want to toss it out. It was definitely |
| 0:11.6 | very off the cuff and behind the scenes and weren't necessarily structuring things the way |
| 0:16.2 | that we normally do in conversation. But I thought this one was worthwhile, good insight |
| 0:21.6 | on who we are as people, I think. So we're going to throw it up here as a Friday episode |
| 0:28.9 | with Avi. |
| 0:58.9 | I'm going to play a game that I'm going to play as a player. I was watching other people |
| 1:06.8 | as a player. I was going to every game I could. I went to three practices. I would go to |
| 1:12.0 | the JV. I played varsity all four years and the JV coach was homies with me and my dad. |
| 1:16.3 | I would go to the JV, get a run in, then drive to my practice. Sometimes the varsity |

| 1:37.2 | smart. Kind of. School. I got through pretty decent. Yeah, without a lot of hours. |
| 1:43.1 | I had to try really hard to be mediocre. The only thing I would wonder if is that they |
| 1:48.0 | forced time. So if it was just tests, like a regular school, I would have been a 4.0. |
| 1:53.2 | But in my school, you got to draw on shit and that literally is time. It doesn't matter |
| 1:56.8 | how good you are. You still have to draw all this shit and handwrite your essays. We're |
| 2:00.8 | like a normal school. If you understand the curriculum enough, you don't have to put |
| 2:05.6 | time outside of it. This one literally, whether you're good or bad, |
| 2:08.4 | you have to put fucking time in. You got to make clay sculptures and shit. |
