Speaker 1 (00:02):
So yesterday we were witnessed to a pretty wild scene.
I'll be honest with you, I was stunned that Emily
answered the phone. I did not think that this would
ever happen, because normally what will happen is if Emily
gets a phone call, like off the air or whatever,
(00:24):
she'll either ignore it or she'll immediately take the phone
and leave the room. Because she Emily doesn't answer the
phone like a normal human. She will always be on speaker.
That's how she answers the phone doesn't work regularly. That
happened to your old phone.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm going I need to hold it like this too,
But two phones don't work, you know.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I think it's user. It sucks that people can't see me,
but she always walks around to like this. People can't
see you, but she too. She throws one arm up
and shakes her head because she's aways annoyed.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
At least when I answer the phone and leave for
the studio on gole.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Oh, double shot, double face in my shot face.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So that's what normally happens. Yes, Well, yesterday we were
setting up getting ready to record the p one podcast,
so there was some rumblings going on on different things,
and then all of a sudden, Emily's phone rings, And
this happens almost every time she sees it's her son
reads school, and she knows this is gonna be bad.
(01:34):
And immediately whenever you get a phone call from the school,
does your stomach drop?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
That's exactly the words I was just about to use
to describe it. It's a stomach drop, then a sigh,
an eye roll, and then sweating.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Because you know it's gonna be bad. It can't be good.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Why on earth you know, at ten oh two, why
would they be calling if it was something good?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
How often did Eddie? Do you get phone calls from
your school? That's interesting. Let me think here for zero zero.
The only time you're going to get a phone call
from the school is if there is like an all
student like thing of like, oh we had a lockdown today,
or there's going to be this special kid my kids.
(02:14):
My kids don't get into that stuff sky So no
zero phone calls from my principal or oh god.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Yeah say the same thing. I mean, we we got
one the other day about a lockdown. But Eddie's right.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
School exactly, So what goes through with all these phone
calls is rare.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Well, it's another question.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Do you guys have the principal vice principals personal numbers
in your phone?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Do you have them?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I don't even know personal numbers for what the Forrest
Gump thing. Oh my god, his grades are better. So
we're in here, phone rings.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Emily sees it's the school and she does the deep sigh, like, great,
here we go. Now she did something that I don't
think she's ever done before.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
I didn't see this coming.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
She decides to answer it here in the studio. That's
a risk, a massive risk.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
And again she only talks on speakerphone, so we're gonna hear.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The whole thing on speaker phone. So if it's the
principal vice principal and saying, hey, uh, you know, miss Griffis,
you have a master, Emily, your son. Your son's on
the roof. He's an active shooter or whatever. I don't know.
You know, we got a situation here. You gotta come
get him. Whatever, we're gonna hear it, which Emily doesn't like.
(03:44):
Emily doesn't want us to know this stuff is going on.
She'll come in and tell us eventually, but you don't
want us to be you know, witness to that. Ever,
So what were you thinking answering the phone?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You know what? I was in a weird headspace this
last week. It was a rough week.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yesterday. Oh yes, I've been in space. You don't want
to be Nobody wants to be foggy up there?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
You guys the school calls me all the times.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Did you just not want to physically leave the room.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
It was one of those Emily moments where I just
don't think, and I just did. And then as I'm
answering and I that's when I went, Holy s in
my head, what am I doing?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Why am I doing this in this room?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No, it's a big risk, and you're about to witness
some stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, no doubt, there's no way you won't witness.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, we're sitting right now. Got to be stuff. She
slides the phone and like very sheepishly because she knows,
like this is not going to get scared. Yeah. Well,
it wasn't the principal. It wasn't the vice principal. It
was actually her son. It was actually Read and Reid says, mom, Mom,
(05:09):
and you go, what's going on? What's going was everything
we have and what he was calling for what was wild.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah, he calls. Didn't didn't expect to hear his voice.
And that's when he said exactly what Eddie just said. Mom,
I go, I go, yeah, I go, Hi go, Okay,
what's going on? He goes, I'm in the school nurses office.
My eye really hurts. Your eye?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
What's wrong with your eye? I just burns a little bit, goes,
can you you can bring me eye drops? Because his
voice is changed, bring me his voice a little too.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I think he's trying to be quiet a little bit office.
It was very low nurse pretty well, well, that's I guess.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
And I do get calls frequently from him from the
nurse's office, and that's what I tell him, Uh, I'm really.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Sorry that you're hurting.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
You're gonna be okay, and I'm not going to come
bring you actually, And that's when I tell him that I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Not believe you said the power through it. Yeah, that
is what I said.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
There was power through and and prior to that, there
was a moment of you clarifying that you're hearing him correctly,
that you're calling me for eyedrops right now, and you
don't know why your eye hurts, but it just starts,
and then that's when you went into like what.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
This obviously hit us kind of weird? And Thor was
the first person then ask how often does your son
call from the nursing because so.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
If I called my parents, first of all, I never
went to the office, because like you go to theirs office.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I went to the nurse was like for and I threw, yes,
you don't want to be a nurse kid. You don't
want to be in there. You don't want to be
a nurse kid. I don't know if reads a nurse kid.
You don't want to be a nurse.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Secondly, if I called my mom while she was at work,
I go, she would go, what do you want? And
I would say something and she would go, are you nuts?
My mom loves saying are you nuts? Are you nuts?
I'm at work? And then she'd basically hang up them
and my.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Dad just wouldn't answer. So it's a fact. So how
often are you getting these phone calls?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
About once a week, once a week, sometimes every once
in two weeks, like once for two weeks sometimes.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So it's just because he wants got a class, right, it's.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
His uh, he's got X. He need his lips are cracking.
He doesn't have any chopsticks. Got something going on with
his ear, but his ear is fine, but he just
is plugged up or something. He uh, he's gotten something
going on where he needs some Cortizon cream. I stomach hurts,
I need some tombs, tombs, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Like all the time.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
I give Emily credit because if this was Sky and
Loveland called for her for eye drops, Sky would drop
the phone like she just heard a natural disaster hit
in San Diego, and then just run out of the
studio and we'd be like, Sky, where you going, And
she'd be going, my baby.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
I have to have an eye doctor on my way. Well,
but in my defense, my daughter will never be to
the nurse. So if I call, like literally, her eyeball
is probably falling out.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
If falling out once a week.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
No, no, I I don't think I'm ever from the nurse.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
And so yeah, I didn't go bring him eye drops.
I never I think one time he is he does
have exema. One time I did bring his prescription exema
cream school.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I guess it was itchy. It wasn't even looking that
bad on his arm when I saw it.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
But again, I respect Read's game though, Yeah, not a class.
Maybe's science. You're boord.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
How are we allowing this to happen? Though? Oh, and
that's where you're at. Well, I mean, if it's once
a week, you go, no more, no more going to
the nurse. That's over. You're done. You literally have to
be bleeding out if you're going to that's it. No more,
it happen.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
I've told him that, but I need to and I
guess I don't know, maybe enforce a punishment if that
is confused.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
If you order it a code confused, then there shouldn't
be a code red, right, Well you can't. You've heard
handle the truth. Wow, you've heard watch yourseling. I have
heard you better watch yourself. And nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Nobody watches themselves.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
And we were in Disneyland at some fancy restaurant and
that was off like the pier and Emily said you
better watch yourself, and then read proceeded to throw a
stuffed animal into the water.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah happen, that is absolutely watch after some stairs and
a better watch yourself, it didn't work.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Any word from or input from the nurse. Is she
over this? Has she does?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
At this point?
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Well, because I know some school nurses.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
They're going to go watch Minecraft together. The nurse checks
read out because they're so close.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Because I've heard there's some school nurses who don't play
this game like they know this one does. They'll literally
be like, stop it, your stomach doesn't hurt, go back
to the class, tell.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The teacher let them out.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, I have thought about that.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
The school nurse doesn't speak that great of English, so
I've had try to have conversations with her before.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So that's is that successful's.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Got to play the game. I did stuff.
Speaker 8 (10:48):
I wasn't a nurse kid, but I did, like I
go to the bathroom and then do a lap around
the school. Like that's the kind of stuff that I did.
And then because what are you going to say, but
I didn't go to the You gotta play the game.
You gotta find different things things to do. You can't
just go you can't go to the nurse hole all
the time, take a lap.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Around the school. So you need to see say, say,
mentally you're not feeling right, you need to see a
counselor kind of stuff I did. The guy class, he's.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Concerned and dying to know how Reid's eyes doing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
See clearly.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
When I picked him up yesterday, he basically almost forgot
about his eye and even calling me and it was fine.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Right now, my eyebrow is really hurt. I got nothing left.
I got nothing left. I was crazy and I'll never
answer the phone. Probably not, probably a good idea. Have
you ever been in one of those WAIM self driving cars? Yes, well, yeah,
(11:48):
one of us has. I think you just heard it.
Those cars are a little sketchy. We're gonna see what
is going on with those Waymo cars coming on next
on the show. I'll rock with a five three
