| 0:13.9 | Every once in a while I find myself in a public school for something like municipal like a voting thing, an election thing or |
| 0:22.2 | when COVID was full effect, I remember getting a shot there. |
| 0:27.7 | And I always find myself gravitating toward the chalkboard. I always loved the chalkboard when I was a |
| 0:33.2 | kid when I was in school. And it's something that is so, it's such a specific sensation, writing with |
| 0:38.4 | chalk, erasing the chalk, and I just haven't been around it in so long. You don't actually see it |
| 0:45.4 | much anymore. I mean, a lot of those buildings that I reference, they have markers. There's like white |

| 0:59.8 | listeners or you, Christian, but it really brings me back to a very, very specific sensation. |

| 1:39.8 | Are you just thinking of the Simpsons? |
| 1:42.2 | Yeah. And they would have me write it like 50 times over. And as soon as I was done, |
| 1:47.1 | I remember dashing out and jumping on my skateboard and skating through Springfield. And I'd see |
| 1:52.4 | there's, oh, there's old man Moe at his bar. And when you got caught doing it, you're like, |
| 1:56.6 | I currumba, leave me alone. And I get home right into the driveway right before my dad just |
| 2:02.5 | just screamed in with his car after working all day, the nuclear power. |
| 2:07.6 | You know, I have, I would all remember we all sit together on the couch. And then something wacky |
