Either way, what are the most scandalous things that have happened in your high school? >> Like teacher and student hooking up type stuff? >> Yeah, like at my school that's one of the top ones. The coach was like hooking up with the pastor's daughter and had to move schools and then did it again. >> Move schools, didn't even get fired? >> Got the priest treatment. They just did a rotational. >> The one that happened in our school, um, I didn't have anything against it. >> What is this? >> Are you talking about the same one, the TA? I think she was maybe half white, half Asian, I think. >> Girl, right? >> Yeah. >> Guy was a TA. >> He was the teacher. He was the teacher. >> Yeah, yeah. >> But then they were only like maybe like four years apart. >> Yeah, but what age is? Four years is a big difference.
0:50 >> 17, 21 or something. And then she was hot, so I was like, I get why he likes her. >> [laughter] >> Look at Bob. >> Was I was hanging out with her friends and then they're going to do karaoke and then he showed up and I was like, "Whoa, aren't you the teacher?" >> Well, he wasn't a teacher. He was like a TA. >> He wasn't a teacher, though. >> No, he wasn't? >> It's the same guy I'm talk we're talking about. He wasn't a teacher. >> You approved, too? >> This guy got around. >> Yeah, dude. >> At the time, I didn't think it was weird. >> Really? >> Yeah, because like >> Because you're probably too young to understand. >> What about the cut off age? The 17, no? >> No, cuz I think that I don't think it's as sensitive as it was today. Like girls were bringing college guys to prom. >> You're right. I remember that happening. >> Those girls were like [laughter] >> Look at her. >> That was a piece of like trophy. Like if you're a high school girl and you got a
1:41 college guy coming to prom with you. >> Oh, yeah, you were cool. You had someone that was over 21 and I remember being like 15, 16 and then like you would go to parties and then it was like, "Oh my god, that guy's 22. He could get us beer." And then like they were so it wasn't that weird. >> And by the way, everybody, it's not just us. If you watch old movies from the '80s or '90s, that's happening a lot in those high school movies, too. They're bringing like an older guy to prom that's a college guy, or they're bragging to their friends or girlfriends about dating a college guy. That was a very common thing back then. >> There would be girls with like older dudes, and I would only tease them about it just so I could have a chance. So, I would try [laughter] to bend it my way. I'm like, "What? That guy is totally 20, >> You're nasty. What the heck? Yeah. >> [laughter] >> I don't know, man. I don't know about that. But, it's just cuz I wanted to
2:31 have a chance. >> [laughter] >> At the dude? >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> I remember like my classmates, they're like 14, 15. >> Uh-huh. >> And I remember them dating like early 20 guys. >> That's too old. >> It is now, like when you think about it, but like that was pretty normal like when you were >> in the '90s? >> In the '90s, and yeah, like it was pretty normal because um guys that had a car can just get girls. >> I don't remember the gap that big, though. I I remember like maybe 14, 15 with 18, and then maybe 16, 17 with 20, 21, 22. >> Well, I I think the gap got bigger when you went raving because you had >> That makes it even more unsafe. >> kind of weird. >> Yeah, but like if a dude just took his mom's like van, you don't know who this
3:21 guy is. He might be like 23, right? >> Yeah. >> And everyone's jumping in. >> You have like >> 12 kids in this van with a 22-year-old. >> This is already bad. >> Well, cuz >> Already bad. >> How you getting to the rave? Like someone's tak- picking you up, right? So, whoever's picking you up is like the coolest guy. And then they they pick you up. You don't know who's driving, but they're picking you up, and then it's guys and girls jumping in that car. You're going to the rave. When you're there, it looks like ████ First Friday, where it's just all teenagers. >> Yeah. >> It's all It's literally like 20-year-olds and teenagers. That's what all raves used to be. And then you're making out. You don't know how ████ old she is. >> [laughter] >> I was an underage kid. I was 14 years
4:12 old. I don't know if the girl I was making out with >> I thought I was I thought in the story I was one of the kids. >> We are the kids. >> Okay. >> [laughter] >> Cuz you said, "You don't know how old she is making out." >> That's what I'm saying. >> like, "Oh, I'm the old guy driving the van." I was like, "Oh, s███." >> Yeah, but if you're So, whether you're 14 or 22, right? When you're at a rave, and then you just start making out with a girl, >> Okay. >> do you know if she's 12 or 22? >> No, but that doesn't really make it okay. >> It doesn't make it okay, but that's That's where It was okay. Like, no one like shamed it. So, then when you when you see your classmate dating a 20-something-year-old, you're just like, you know it's not okay for school rules, but you don't think it's illegal. Like, now it's a big deal. Now it's like, "Dude, you're going to
5:02 jail. What the f███?" >> Now you have to tell somebody if you see that. >> as ageist back then. I remember one of my homie's older sisters was super hot, and she would always come by and like buy lunch for him, like bring McDonald's and put it over the fence. And I remember I was kicking at his house, and I'd be like, "Man, if there's one of these times where everyone had to leave but me and her, and she wanted me to sacrifice my body in the name of good, I would totally do it." >> [laughter] >> Okay. >> But it never happened. >> Aw. >> Because she was probably like 22, and I was like 15. >> [laughter] >> What other crazy things have happened in your high school that you've like that were while you were there? >> I saw some teachers at a rave. >> What the ████ Not at a rave. It's at your high school. We keep getting [laughter] We keep ending up at the rave.
5:53 Anything else happened in your school besides like a school scandal? >> at school? >> School scandal. >> Well, at the rave. >> [laughter] >> There was a even crazier one when um This was I think sophomore year, right? This One of the girls I had been going to school with since third grade who was in high school with me, they went on a trip to uh I believe Big Sur. And during one of the times that they were camping in their tents, I guess she had wandered off and like met some other camper group that was like grown adults, like guys that were there for climbing. And um later on when it got dark, she exited her tent and went to their tent and stayed in the tent with them. And she said she hooked up with them. >> Good.
6:44 >> Dude. >> Let me see >> She told the truth, I'm saying good, it's good. Cuz I know what she did. So, I'm glad that she told the truth and didn't lie. >> That's like she's like 15 cuz he was in my class. >> But then the guys there, they didn't ask? >> No, they didn't ask, yeah. Not as far as I know. She was She's brave. And she wasn't telling the rest of us as in like, "Oh, what a bad thing I did." It was more like a like a cool thing she did. >> Yeah, but that >> [laughter] >> After they're rock climbing all day, she was she was ████ some stinky dick. >> That's what I'm saying. >> That's That's disgusting That's nasty. >> Yeah. And then the To top that one, Big Sur again, this one went down in history for the whole school. >> Big Sur? >> Yeah, there was a yearly trip to Big Sur that could end in disaster and this one did. This was also This was actually I think I believe freshman year. Uh one of the guys in my church that I
7:36 grew up with basically, his name is Mike Ramirez. He went to Norwalk SDA Church. This dude uh during the rafting trip that they took, actually got washed away, and they never found his body. >> Aw, how sad. >> During a church rafting trip? >> a school rafting trip. >> raft? >> He went to He went to my church, but then we went to the same high school, too. But he decided to go rafting on his own one morning instead of waiting for the group, and then he just got washed away. >> Oh, by himself? >> Yeah, but they were able to find him like cling It was like He was clinging to a rock. And they couldn't get to him. >> He died on a rock? >> He had to let go. He like slipped off. Yeah, he was like holding on. The current was like going, and then he just let go, and then >> Oh my gosh, that's tragic. >> School, we had to do one of those assemblies, the emergency assembly at
8:26 the chapel, and then we have to like everyone has to learn about it, talk about it, do prayer, and then moment of silence, and then they they tried to do like a devotional monument for him or whatever, but then his family ended up suing the school. So, they kind of buried it a little bit afterwards. Yeah, it was a big deal back then. >> I mean >> Well, that's a pity. >> Is it the school's fault that your son decided to do that on their own and like >> It's not, but that's that's the reason why you have to be a stickler of a chaperone and be like, "Hey, where you going? No, come back. Come back." You know, like >> Yeah, but if he woke up at 3:00 in the morning and decided to sneak off in the woods like they ain't going to have 24-hour watch. That's crazy, man. You can't blame the school for that. But that I blame that I get mad because those are the reasons why you can't have fun ████ no more cuz they're like, "No more school trips cuz we don't we can't handle the risk." >> Yeah. >> Cuz your dumb ass son wanted to be a ████ adventurer on his own. >> That's the reason why uh San Gabriel
9:16 Academy couldn't go on cruise ships anymore because uh my uh the year I graduated, the senior year class that took over next had gone on that yearly cruise to Ensenada that we would do, and uh they I think someone bought drugs. Like >> At Ensenada? >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> And then so they canceled they canceled the cruise idea like oh San Gabriel Academy can't do cruises anymore. So like by the time my nephews were in senior year they were like oh you guys used to go on cruises? Like what? They couldn't do any of that stuff. They took it away. >> One of the saddest stories I remember was in junior high this guy named Ronnie. And he was one of those that like he wanted to fit in with like the gangsters and stuff. But he was actually a pretty nice guy and he's not really a gangster. And then so you know what during those times people would collect car signs. You know they would jack like Honda or
10:06 Acura or whatever. And I think he wanted to fit in so bad. Um he went in the teachers parking lot and he jacked like I don't know how many a ████ ton of them. But then they found that it was him. And then so they ended up kicking him out. And I remember him being so ████ sad balling his eyes out. Uh because I think he knew he ████ up. And he isn't even going to be able to impress the people he's trying to impress cuz now he's going to go to another school. That's not even really him. And I just felt I remember like feeling so bad. Cuz I'm like that's something I would have done not even do it. But you [laughter] did it. >> Put yourself in that okay. Because now he has the record of a guy that's like that but he's truly not. >> He's not yeah. >> But it's on his permanent now that they're like oh watch out for this >> And I just remember like seeing him like
10:57 like him go too crazy. You know he goes zero to a hundred. When he could have probably just did something else and maybe they would have accepted him or whatever but I think he was out of desperation he did something so ████ dumb and then now like his the rest of his high school career is now over. I'm like ████ that sucks. >> There was a very funny strange one that happened while I was at San Gabriel Academy where there was so there were two science teachers. One of them was a lot older. One of them was like younger. The younger science teacher started dating the older science teacher's daughter. Which wasn't bad. >> was the daughter? >> Um probably late twenties. The younger guy was late 20s, too. So, it was normal, everything was cool. Uh, people thought it was cute. Oh, cool, you know, Mr. Bloom's dating Mr. Schneider's daughter, that's cool. And then, something had happened where they didn't work out and they had to break up, and this freaking guy got so
11:49 depressed. He like got into some weird spiral and he declared himself agnostic, which is like a really big thing to do if you're part of a Seventh-day Adventist school. So, he now he was like telling people he didn't believe in God anymore because of his breakup with his girl. And and that's like you can't teach at that school anymore. You can't if you're a Seventh-day Adventist school. >> Can't do that. >> Can't do that if you're like, I don't know. >> announce it. >> I know, but that's how that's how broken up and depressed he was over it. >> Aw, how sad. >> I always thought that was an odd one. >> I had a Christian school and not Christian. >> Exactly. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Did Arcadia High ever have any scandalous things? >> I was trying to think so hard. I don't remember anything really, but I don't know if I was like in the, you know, the gossip and yeah, I don't know if I was
12:39 really So, maybe things didn't really happen or I could also believe it's Arcadia High. Like, what the hell's happening there? >> Like >> Uh, it is pretty squeaky clean. >> Everyone's like, you know, getting perfect SAT scores. >> How about Cal State Fullerton? >> [laughter] >> Cal State Fullerton, it's a commuter school. No one's doing ████ there.
