[E]

$25 an hour for all the new to be parents listening in the throw gang. That's if you live in New York. That's what you're looking at. Something in that range. Yeah.

[D]

I babysat as like, an odd job when I was, like, stringing together, like, three jobs at a time.

[E]

Really? Who hired you to babysit their children?

[D]

A family friend.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

The kid was. I guess he's, like, going to college now, but it was easy. Pick him up from. Well, did I pick him up from school? I don't even know if I did. Yeah, I did. And go get a bite. Do homework. Go play soccer.

[E]

So you were, like, also, like, a tutor? You, like, helped them with his homework?

[D]

No, I was like, do your homework.

[E]

Yeah, I was a camp counselor.

[D]

You fingered somebody behind the boat house? Not a camper. A fellow counselor.

[E]

No, that never happened. You're just like. That's. You're just. That's, like, a thing that happens in movies and stuff. I was not one of those. It was a day camp.

[D]

Is that not.

[E]

I wasn't, like, asleep.

[D]

Lost your virginity?

[E]

No.

[D]

Oh, you lost virginity to. On the kitchen floor with a French tickler condom?

[E]

Yes. They didn't finger anyone behind a boathouse. It's all in front of the paywall, Dude.

[D]

Fuck.

[E]

My legacy is just going to be complete, dog. Because of this show, bro. What do you.

[D]

That makes you sound cooler?

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, you didn't finger someone to camp, you loser.

[E]

I did go to sleepway camp, though.

[D]

Yeah. And fingering.

[E]

No. All boys.

[D]

No. Fingering all boys.

[E]

So fingering. N. Yeah, no, but it was. It was more of like. It was like that Sleepway camp was like, the focus was like, a lot of like. Like sports. It's very broad out. It wasn't like you guys do up.

[D]

Like, make a kid eat dirt.

[E]

No, no. No one got, like, bullied too hard or anything like that. It was. It was smaller. It wasn't anything like, you know, any camp.

[D]

Any cam. Counselors finger each other?

[E]

No, not that I know of, though. The. And I think we've told this before. The. The funniest thing that came out of that experience was I had a black camp counselor.

[D]

His name's not funny.

[E]

No, no, let me. I'm just setting it up.

[D]

Okay. Okay.

[E]

And I don't. And I can say we don't need to bleep this name because this is clearly not his real name. But we. T. Biscuit Fire. Don't know what that stood for.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

Tea Biscuit. And the big feedback that T. Biscuit had for. Because my mom, like, remembers this, and I think she might have, like. Were they doing what was happening My wedding. People were doing, like, voice notes. Did you leave a voice note for. Maybe it was like, Jenna.

[D]

What?

[E]

You don't remember this.

[D]

What are you talking about?

[E]

People were leaving voice notes and then they were like, maybe used on the podcast, the old. The previous show. You don't remember this? Like, people leaving, like.

[D]

Like voicemails.

[E]

Yeah. For like the Texas wedding content. That would have come out on the.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[E]

Voice memos. Excuse me. I don't know if then, like, your.

[D]

Cam cancer was supposed to voice memo in, like, 1990s. What the hell are you talking about?

[E]

So I don't actually, I don't think that this happened in a. In a voice memo. But anyway, long story short, sorry. T Biscuit relayed this fact to my parents. Said, I think your son wants to be black. So that was called pretty early on.

[C]

But that was.

[D]

That was 10 years before you discovered rap music, I think. I'm not. Sorry, I'm not equating black people with all black culture.

[E]

Oh, I wasn't even. Honestly, I was not even thinking that.

[D]

Yeah, there's literature.

[E]

Yeah, right. Yeah. I don't think it was. Your son wants to be black in the James Baldwin way, though. How old were you, dude? I might. Dude, we're talking like 12.

[D]

Oh, is it?

[E]

I think I was just like, yo, I got a cool ass camp counselor. His name's T. Biscuit.

[D]

You didn't.

[E]

I might have been parodying some.

[D]

You didn't say anything?

[E]

No, no, Absolutely not.

[D]

You didn't say anything.

[E]

I don't think he was calling us that.

[D]

You didn't say anything? You didn't finger anything?

[E]

No, I think it was just more of like, just maybe like parodying or picking up on like his super, super sick mannerisms. Giant, from what I remember. I know. Maybe now, like, as an adult, he might be like a normal. I just remember being like a gigantic fat black guy. T Biscuit, I'm like, why are you a camp counselor at a sports camp, dude? Not very athletic guy.

[D]

He wasn't good at sports, but he.

[E]

Was cool as health. And that's, I guess, all that matters. Yeah.
