Correct they were going to.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Ninth grade, right, yep, starting the big leagues, big big boy.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, I'm messing around now you're messing about. Yeah, okay,
so we got the ceremony happening this this week. What
what is the issue here? Because you you seem annoyed
about it.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
There's a lot going on here. So, like a couple
of weeks ago, I bring up to him, you know
that his promotion ceremony. Obviously we all know that's happening
this Thursday. But I said, hey, any thought on what
you're going to win? Like what's the attire? What are
you going to be wearing for the big promotion? And
I said, you do need like a new pair of
(01:08):
like nice pants, like you really only have a pair
of like jeans, And then like cargo, you know, all
kinds of other casual pants. But I go, you you
need a new pair of pants. So I was thinking,
maybe would get you a new pair of pants, maybe
some like black pants or I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Know, whatever something like that.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And then maybe do you want to do like a
button up like we find lots of luck like at
the rip curl store, like a short sleeve button up,
you know, surf cute shirt, serf shirt or something like that,
Like is that the route you want to go? And
that's when he tells me that that's not the route
that he wants to go. He says no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not at all.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
And I go, oh, like, maybe like a long sleeve
button up, maybe something a little bit nicer, and he
said no, no, no, he didn't like that idea either.
That's when he tells me that he would like to
wear a tuxedo.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, well legitimately I.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Did not see this coming, and I talks.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Are you serious, Like you can't wear a tuxedo to promotion?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That is?
Speaker 5 (02:10):
Do you know what that is?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So when my daughter graduated, there was a mixture of
what I saw what the kids wore. She didn't wear
a tux. She didn't wear a tux. No, But like
the some of the girls went fully extreme into these
crazy gowns like kind of and then some just wore
(02:34):
like little sun dresses or whatever, and some just wore.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Whatever clothes, Like a sun dress is nice. That's what
Taylor wore. Yeah, that makes sense. Like when I was
in going from high school to middle school to high school,
I had like a college shirt on and my dad
maybe tuck it in, which was crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So that's what most of the boys wore. Like you
were kind of seeing either jeans and a button up
or slacks and a button up. There were a couple
of kids they just wore shorts, which I put my
hand up and went respect.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So when they got called up, you stood up in class. Yes,
I don't know who they were, didn't care.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I respected.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
The parents are like, who was that man? You man?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Is that man wearing shorts?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Damn right? It was damn right.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
And then you had a handful of the boys who
did go full suit, which you know, it was like
the Chess club and it was like you it wasn't
the cool kids. It just said, no, it was they
were they was full suite. They're taking this very seriously.
Parents are making them go very seriously. And I and
I would look at them and I went, oh lit
(03:47):
over dressed for them. I mean, because again, this isn't
high school graduation. Then I understand you can. You're gonna
wear what you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Wear even in the high school graduation. You wear the
cap and gown underneath it. I wear my stone called
Steve Auston want to raise some hell hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
T shirt that I wouldn't recommend either. That's on the
other end.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The other and I had Gene shorts on hot it
was June in New York.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Was wow, did you have a graduation party.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
For my middle school? For a high school? Yes, it
was like directly after did you change? No? I kept
my stone closed Steve Woston one T shirt and my
Gene shorts with my black Air Force ones off.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I think that's why you dress up, is if you
have a graduation party.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Because it was like a family thing. My friends weren't
really there, but uh, but yeah I was. I was styling,
profiling idea.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
That doesn't sound.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You don't need to mock me.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So guy wants to go tucks full tux and.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
I can I ask you my question because just like Eddie,
my daughter, when she went through this, it was kind
of a mixed bag.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
You see a little bit of everything.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
But the guys who did do suits, because I saw some,
I saw zero talks.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's tough.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Tux is pretty crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
But even the guys who went suit again, we had
kind of some of the Chess Club guys, but then
the other guys who win suit, it was like a
group of friends.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
So are there a group.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Of that they're wearing tuxes?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
At this point in time, when the tux is mentioned,
I don't know anything about any group or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Just read wants to wear a.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Tux And it's not he's not just being a goof.
Well because if you wear your tux.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
If I'm one of the teachers, I assume that he's
making a mockery this suit. Not so much.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Every parents in the audience goes, so this kid's a goose.
Oh there's the class clown.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, you think that that's my buddy Lambeau would do that?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
You mean, it's not, it's not he's I don't he
said he wants to look really nice.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, I understand that but you know everybody thinks you're
being a goose. Yes, like like the nobody wears a.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Toux with how silly and wacky I am.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I'm wearing a tux and there'd be laughter across the stage,
like like I would show up just to see it. Yeah,
I know that.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
So that's when I tell himsolutely not, you're not wearing
a tuxedo to graduate to promotion. I mean that's a
little ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Now that Robert your man has a tux Why why
wouldn't they both wear did they lose it? Wouldn't you
wear matching? We talked the tucks for a while, so
if they both wore tucks, that would be pretty great.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I mean that would be even more of a mockery
if the twins will rolled up.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Tucks and sunglasses on dumb, dumber situation.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
So why put my foot down about that? About this
tuxedo situation? Put my foot down.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
That's when he starts throwing out there that he wants
to wear Then he wants a pink suit?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Can I do a pink suit?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
What does is?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Like?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I don't know, I think lately, like I don't know
where he gets this from, but he will be in
his room trying on like a zillion outfits next day
at school. Never don't know, I don't.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Know where he gets this from.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
So he's very concerned about like fashion, and he thinks
that he's very fashion forward.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Don't know where he gets this from. He gets this from?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
And so he brought up this pink suit and I go, no,
you're not wearing a pink suit.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I'm putting my foot down again.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You didn't, he didn't yell you. But it's its style.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah. Whenever, whenever Emily wears something that is questionable, I'd
be like, oh, you're wearing that todayhun, And she goes.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Right, well, usually usually the pink suit, Like when.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You start wearing dad shoes and you're like, Emily, you're
wearing dad neal.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Marry and style.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Look it up, that's what she said.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
So I guess that that might might be where he
gets it from. You can see where you guys are
coming from. And so I put my foot down about
the pink suit. But then he kept going on and
on and on and on about the suit. So finally
I caved and said, we will go and rent you
a nice suit.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Renting this red him a suit.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh, if you're getting a suit, there's one one, one
man for the job, right.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I know a nineteen year old boy who works at
the suit hub and Mission Valley. God, there is an
incredible tailor named Montessor.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Just got this incredible suit. I feel like a slap
in the face right now. I have my buddy, your
he's your buddy. I was considered just and he's phenomenal.
Couldn't be a nicer guy. He could read suited and booted.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I'm sorry I didn't go to many. We didn't want
to do.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
They do rentals.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You take care of you.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You walk in there and just say thor send me.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That's all anybody has to do. But he's gonna look
me up. Probably not didn're.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
You're a true idiot. You're a true idiot.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Poor read. I'm sorry, Okay, really going all off for
this thing.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
We're actually going all out for this thing. I don't
know why he's so concerned about being so fancy. So anyway,
we go to to the suit place. There's a suit
run place in La Mesa. Went there actually last week,
the last week, and did find a nice black suit.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh black, Yes, I'd like to see this all black suit.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
It's just a classic Michael Cores suit.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
By the way, did you have to talk him out
of pink or.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I talked him out of the pink. I go, this
is not a joke. We're not being funny hahas, which
he wasn't. He just wanted to be flashy and in
style and I just talked him out of that. And
so now it's just a solid black suit. So we're
doing a black suit. We found the black suit. That's fine,
and we don't think this is too much. I think
it's a little much. But the guy wants to be
dressed up. It's not a tuxedo. I got him off that.
(09:40):
I got him off with the wacky colors. He's just
gonna wear the black suit with a gray tie, a
tie tie, a tie, and a pocket square.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Okay, well this is this is nice.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
This sounds like something I would wear when I used
to wear ties to school in first grade. And you
guys all make fun of me and called me at
the week because I was in first grade.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'll be honest with you, I am fascinated. I can't
wait to hear what you see at the ceremony. If
this is the majority, maybe this school.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Maybe it's the.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Majority this is.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
This could be where Matstaur went to middle school.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Could be it really.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Got him on his career, Big suit school. I mean
maybe who would be working there one day at the
suit Hub mission val where he got the bug.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Yeah, and so okay, fine, fine, fine, we got the suit.
We're gonna pick it up today, super excited about it.
That's fine and dandy. But that's when some texts start
rolling into me from my son read. Then that's when
some Amazon links come flying in.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
For accessories that now he wants to wear with the suit.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
Has a bucket square, what's another?
Speaker 4 (10:44):

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Looks like he's going to the SBS.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's exactly what he was.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
He would have no shirt on under the blazers.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
That's the way they go.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
But wearing fake jewelry is the ugliest thing on earth,
Like if it's real, okay, but I know he knows
fake jewelry is so ugly.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I know that serious, and it's just so like it
makes you look, it makes you look a certain wear.
Fake jewelry makes people think a lot.

singers would wear, yes, exactly like McKnight are wearing the
same glasses.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
The color bad style in because it looks like that's
the outside.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
I don't together, but i put my foot down on
the accessories and I'm putting my foot down about the sunglasses.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
We are not doing well. And Robert's not a fake
jewelry man, he sure is. Its somebody somebody else is.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, this sounds all like.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But read then would have a necklace of his name
on it or something, or his birthday.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
That might be next hopefully not listening to next. So
this is.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
It's all been a little bit of a night show.
But we're just going with the suit. No blak jewelry,
we're not doing that.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
No something Well, you'll have to tell us if the
other kids are rocket suits. They're not. But I can't
understand it.
