My mom was my high school music teacher and she had a lot of really good ideas. She taught me how to do music and I might not be the best testimony to her skill but I'm

marginally competent, C-minus. That's pretty good. I can vaguely read music still from all the stuff that she taught me.

One of the things that was fun was tormenting my mom a little bit as a student in her classes,

and she was pretty good about playing along with it.

But every now and then she would do something.

I'd be like, Mom, you're kind of killing me right now.

And I don't know why she thought this was a good idea, but my high school choir class one day,

there was something going on, we couldn couldn't sing and so we were at

like a shortened period we're in there for 30 minutes I don't know whatever and so she

had us watch the butter cream gang. We are in high school this This is in the age of grunge and flannels tied around your

waist and been there done that mad at my dad irony and she had us watch the

butter cream gang. irony and she had us watch the Buttercream Gang. Everyone felt uncomfortable

and the message of the Buttercream Gang and if you don't know what this is,

ho ho ho this is, this is Christian pop culture from multiple decades ago.

It is like a nice after school special with Christian values instead of just don't do drugs values like what they had on the ABC after school specials.

And so in this one, the message was,

nobody can steal from you if you just give them your things.

And so the Buttercream Gang, they got this hideout

and then the bullies come along

and you can tell their bad because their shirts aren't tucked in and they're like hey

Give me your lunch money and then Kyle I don't know any of their names is like well

You know the Bible says that if I just give you my lunch money, I'm doing what Jesus
