Podcast #221 - Reading Julien's Childhood Letters

elf He took it home and put it on. under a 500 times magnifying glass, she surprisingly said: You will be granted three wishes. It took me a minute to get the message, then I realized what had happened. I took the coin, squeezed it and said: I wish for world peace, the reason I would wish for World peace is so that the United States and all the other countries do not interact with each other, another crown, okay, another reason why I would wish That's so no one gets hurt, it's so sweet. My next wish was for me to have Xbox Live workouts.

For Xbox what it does is it allows you to compete against other people in different places. I want it because if I had it I wouldn't have to go to my friend Julie's house, that's so pure that I couldn't think about my last wish until later when I realized it was to have a minor driver's license and a Corvette in the morning next after I woke up and all my wishes came true. In the end, boy, you have world peace, Xbox Live, and a minor. I was a pretty good list. Wow, but you're an inherently good person, Julian, that's why.

Your first wish was world peace and not Xbox Live because then it wouldn't seem nice to me, well, yeah, it couldn't stay that way. It was okay, be careful with these things, you know, look at this picture of my dad and my mom and me, oh my God, it's cool, oh, it's cool, it's okay, look, God, you're so cute, I'm so damn, your parents, and cool as hell in this photo, although Lugia's mom's pants, oh yeah, she has it styled, she's always been here in the class of 2003 in Did you graduate? What my primary school graduation must have been like.

Oh, this is a literature notebook. I want to find my life. I feel like you're missing out on all this gold. I know I really want it. to find my summer diary how do I look good this is like a really intense book report I don't think I went to high school I don't know this sounds great my spring break by Julian Shulamite my spring break started when I had a sleepover at my friend Adam's house in the morning my mom picked me up I'm your mom Playboy okay this is my vision board playboy things I liked okay oh god I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt you okay you're ready , yeah, you first your mom picked you up from a sleepover at 8 a.m. m. after that we stopped to pick up our friends and then we went to the airport we were going to New York oh that's how we fly with JetBlue airlines on JetBlue airlines each person has their own TV screen. remote control and headphones so you can watch what you want when you want.

We arrived in New York around 5:00 p.m. The first thing we did was rent a car from National Car Rental, which took about three hours because it was a very long road, so after that we drove to our friend's cousin's house to stay. The next day we drove from Queens to Manhattan. that we went to Central Park, we also went to places like FAO Schwartz Ray's Pizza Times Square and Ground Zero in Times Square, wow, you went to Ground Zero, that's crazy, FAO Schwartz, that's as wild as seeing you write that I was as in I.

Listen. a bear was a family reunion I remember thatand then my hair turned dark, very funny and you read my spring breaks well mm-hmm such a cute dog of mine was that the dog of mine we share our connections with the story. I saw it, so we are talking about the literature notebook.

I came out of a book. I said my friend has a dog I'm going to buy a gecko two of them one is for me and the other is for my sister Becky said she had a friend who had a cute dog delete said her neighbor had two dogs it's okay to joke this is the strangest tration of a b-minus, okay, um, yeah, I'm not going to read a book for us, okay, but this is a report on a book called crackerjack half back and I remember I remember these books by Matt Christopher , Have you heard of them?

I like sports books and I loved them. I feel like it sounds very familiar. I feel like I can remember what the paperback looked like. Yes, there were a lot of them and they all had different sports and stories. I love this one. It was good. Yes. UNICEF. I just watched a movie about UNICEF and learned something I didn't even think was possible. Every day children die of hunger. More than 30,000 this year. I'm definitely going to raise as much money as possible and I think you should too. remember you were going trick or treating with the UNICEF thing, did you do that?

No, so when we were in elementary school, they gave it to them at school and it's like a little cardboard, you'd have to like build it. a platform arch and you build it and it becomes a kind of piggy bank and you go around it, it says UNICEF and you go with your trick or treat bag and you get candy and you say: would you like that? die to UNICEF and then the next day at school you would bring it up about the change you made and donated to UNICEF yeah, that's why I went October. Look, I like this alien picture, how wait, so you drew this on a computer, oh yeah, yeah.

It's printed, yes, yes, but it's like Microsoft Paint or something. Always the computer artist's photos of my brother and I. What's going on here? This is also a computer image. He has a heavy mustache. Milk mustache.maybe I loved drawing people, you have always been very good at drawing, well my mom has as many drawings from my

childhood

as many, she also has tons of photos, but we decided to go over just some of the schoolwork for this.

podcast

episode because I knew this is the kind of thing we wanted, it's real, I really liked that journal you did, it was really good, there's probably more summer journal entries somewhere too, but I guess that's the piece main is a newspaper from the day I was born, it's great, it's very well preserved.

Yes, it's actually perfectly preserved still in its original, like steel back, but it's 75 cents, so that's great. This is really cool. Yes, this is great. Ah, there you have it. It's a little. a little piece of me, it was a lot of fun, I would say some of the highlights for me were your Jewish friend Danny's girl, he's still Jewish, yeah, I really like that whole diary, that's all fun because

reading

a lot of things, ya whether it's whether it's a book report or a journal entry or my yearbook, it brings back vivid memories, vivid memories of similar people and experiences and feelings, and it's so strange, man, because so many years ago, like I was

reading

, we were reading since 1998 mm.

Hmm, that was almost 20 years ago, how crazy. I'm referencing something from 20 years ago in my life, what a great life, he's crazy, man. I would also like to say that one of the highlights was that you misspelled your name, well you had to learn somehow. So dynamite, well I hope you enjoyed, it was fun, I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing Julianne, yeah, and thanks to your mom for saving all of that and letting you at least borrow it, I thank my mom if you're going to keep that here, we have to do it. find someone really safe and good at it yeah yeah yeah I want to have it wherever I know well there's a lot of things yeah there's a lot of things I don't want to keep preserved and like a box safely but then there's a lot things on here that I would love to frame like some of the photos.

I feel depressed. I'm depressed by that poem. That poem is sick. The one with my name. Yes, it's a pretty good poem. Yes it is. Yeah, well anyway, guys, have a good week. thanks for hanging out with us on another
