No. [laughter] >> Like a halfway out. >> He is very cool, huh? >> He's like a lizard. >> You guys just don't know that many people, I guess. But no, it was just a weird time, I think.

Got my associates degree in high school. >> No, I'm just kidding. >> Five's not bad. Most people do it in four. What are you talking about? Five's crazy. >> Five's pretty normal in high school, though. I think >> five. What the hell? >> I knew a lot of guys that took five years to graduate.

7:34 >> No ████ way. >> Or they just didn't graduate in that sense. >> They got their GED. >> What do you call the fifth year? >> Super senior year. Yeah, that's not normal. >> They just went to a continuation school. >> No, no, I had a fifth year in the regular school. >> That's pretty cool. That's impressive. >> Being the oldest person there. >> No, but I started school early, so I just became normal. I would have graduated when I was 17. I would have graduated. No, that's just cuz it's just cuz the age, you know, the age where my cuz I have a I'm a November birthday. >> So, I would have graduated at 17, but then because I got held back, then I graduate 18. >> But was it weird seeing those like juniors be your cuz you they were a junior when you were a senior and then you were a senior and then they were a senior. Is that weird? >> Feel a little bit weird. But then also I went to so many schools it was doesn't even matter. It was just people just became people. >> By then? Were you embarrassed? >> Cuz if it was like, oh, we were the same

8:24 eighth grade, same freshman, you know, then all of a sudden it's like the whole like chip stack went up. It would be really weird. But it has already been like [laughter] >> So by that fifth year though, were you embarrassed yourself where you were like, "S███, I really ████ up." >> No, cuz I chose it cuz the counselor was like, "Do you have enough to graduate on time or do you want to just repeat this year?" Cuz I cuz I just got kicked out of another school when I came in. He's like, "Let's reup." >> And then I was and I was like, "All my homies are now I was like, "All my homies are now this class. I'm going just stay in the extra year." >> Yeah. >> Ah, okay. >> Interesting. >> Did you have any fifth fifth year uh super seniors in uh Arcadia High? >> Dude, no. Everyone probably graduates early there. >> Yeah, they probably [laughter] three years. It's >> not unusual to have a perfect SAT score. Like that was like if you had a perfect

9:14 SAT score, it'd be kind of like, oh, real another one. Like it wasn't >> perfect. It's like >> at that time it was 2400 at that time. I think >> before that it was 1,600 and now there's no I don't know if there's a number anymore. They changed it. >> They don't even care anymore probably. >> I don't know. All the stuff changed >> cuz Asians can't get in anyway. >> Like why even try? >> That's so sad. >> You should ████ school.

I was like, "Oh, dude, this whole team's laughing when she talks. It's unless they're all making fun of her >> probably. That's probably what was happening. >> You think they were making fun of that girl in school, dude? Look, check this out. >> Cuz I went to so many high schools. Different cool is different school. [laughter]

10:56 >> No, you take like >> That's the thing you ever said. >> Different coup and different school. >> If you took So if you took >> different [laughter] coup in school, >> so like uh I would say Critos High School is a more typical high school. It's probably like Arcadia, right? If you're like a star athlete and they know you're going to NBA, you're going to go to the NFL, you're pretty cool. You put that in Mark Keell like gay. This fool cares gay as hell. Right. >> And [laughter] then what's >> And then if at Keell if you're like the craziest thug that just got out of jail and he's like, "Oh, this it's that guy. Oh ████ >> Got out of juvie. >> Oh, that guy's so ████ cool." You put him cerrito. So like, "Oh, dude. That guy that guy needs help, man. Man, that guy his life is over.
