Dave Charest 0:16
Hello friends and welcome to Episode Four of Manic Joy. Now this is actually pretty surprising that I think we've made it this far considering we knew this would be a podcast about life, love, and uncertainty. And if you're counting along with me, that's 1-2-3 episodes,
Reese Charest 0:35
Four...I mean three.
Dave Charest 0:37
And we're here at number four, which we were pretty unclear as to what we were going to do after these first three episodes, but I think we pulled it together. And we decided to spend some time talking about high school. Next episode, we're going to talk about some college experiences. And then we're going to talk about some career experiences leaving...that would be a total of nine episodes. Leaving one more episode for we don't know yet. We're gonna see what comes up...
Reese Charest 1:08
...Farts...
Dave Charest 1:08
...but farts...there it is.
Reese Charest 1:09
There it is. I've I was told that it was disappointing that I didn't mention farts in the last podcast. So there's the farts for you.
Dave Charest 1:17
You know, you have a fan base. Yeah. And they're counting on you for things.
Reese Charest 1:20
Actually. I have a fart base.
Dave Charest 1:23
That stinks. Anyway. Yeah. I gotcha when you were drinking coffee.
Reese Charest 1:28
I just choked on the coffee.
Dave Charest 1:30
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna I'm gonna blow your mind here for a second. So you ready?
Reese Charest 1:34
I am ready to be blown.
Dave Charest 1:35
Okay. So we're going back to high school. And, are you ready? We started high school 31 years ago.
Reese Charest 1:46
That's disgusting.
Dave Charest 1:47
That blows my mind.
Reese Charest 1:50
That's just...Well, the other day I posted that, the that other song. Hold On For One More Day is 31 years old. Isn't that crazy?
Dave Charest 2:02
So that would be would that be nine? The 1989. Yeah.
Reese Charest 2:06
Crazy.
Dave Charest 2:06
So Reese and I both graduated high school at the same time. So we were in high school from 1989 unless there's some years you were held back that you're keeping from me.
Reese Charest 2:18
They wanted me out.
Dave Charest 2:19
That's probably...
Reese Charest 2:20
I should have been held back.
Dave Charest 2:21
So yeah, I think as we'll discover through part of this conversation is the Maurisa you know and love today was a much different person in high school, up to high school and probably be on until college time really...
Reese Charest 2:38
Well, college time is still pretty...
Dave Charest 2:39
Well. This is what I'm saying is that but that's where the it started to change for you a bit, right?
Reese Charest 2:44
Yeah.
Dave Charest 2:44
Yeah. Okay. So here's what I thought we'd do just to kind of put us in the, in the spirit of the time in which we were alive and in high school and having a good time. But 1989 you ready for this, Reese? Here we go. The highest grossing movies in 1989. Batman. That's the version by what's his face...with Michael Keaton.
Reese Charest 3:07
That was the best.
Dave Charest 3:08
My boy Michael Keaton. I love Michael Keaton.
Reese Charest 3:09
That was my favorite. I loved it.
Dave Charest 3:11
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Reese Charest 3:14
Also, saw that in the movie theater and brought a disposable camera so that I can take pictures of River Phoenix showed up at the beginning. And that happened and then someone yelled at me to stop...
Dave Charest 3:25
Yeah...
Reese Charest 3:26
...using the flash...
Dave Charest 3:27
...because the flash kind of ruins... Did you get a picture out of that?
Reese Charest 3:30
I actually did.
Dave Charest 3:33
Okay. Okay, so here's a little bit of insight because you guys can't see this but in front of Reese right now is this whole thing that I'm sure we're gonna get into. There's like a diary. There are pictures. There are certificates of merit. This is going to be an amazing, amazing episode. So Lethal Weapon 2 was another big movie in 1989. And Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Remember that?
Reese Charest 4:00
That wasn't my favorite. I know that's a very...
Dave Charest 4:03
I don't really...I know what it is. But I don't really remember what was going on.
Reese Charest 4:07
That wasn't my favorite.
Dave Charest 4:08
I'm okay with a little Rick Moranis. The albums in 1989. Ready Top Albums here. Don't Be Cruel by Bobby Brown. Hanging Tough - New Kids on the Block. Forever Your Girl - Paula Abdul. New Jersey - Bon Jovi. And one of my favorite albums actually of 1989. Appetite for Destruction by Guns and Roses. That album is fantastic. That played a big role in my high school years there. Okay...
Reese Charest 4:08
I have the Use Your Illusion.
Dave Charest 4:14
Ooh, there you go.
Reese Charest 4:19
With some Guns and Roses on my diary.
Dave Charest 4:28
Yeah...here one and two. I'm glad you included both of them.
Reese Charest 4:47
I did. One and two. And I wrote it with numerals because I was wicked smart.
Dave Charest 4:52
Yeah, wicked. Alright. 1990 Top Movies - Ghost. Pretty Woman. Home Alone. And The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Reese Charest 5:04
I was obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles like obsessed.
Dave Charest 5:10
I don't remember. I remember that movie happening. I don't really remember the movie.
Reese Charest 5:15
It was corny. And it was amazing.
Dave Charest 5:18
Wasn't Leah Thompson was in it, right? She was the reporter whatever her name is, I forget what her name is.
Reese Charest 5:24
I just forgot it.
Dave Charest 5:25
I actually, I've actually like the remake they did of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Reese Charest 5:29
It was darker. It wasn't as corny as the original. April!
Dave Charest 5:33
April. Thank you. Nice job. Nice job. Okay, so now, the internet failed me a little bit during my research for this episode, because there was... it was inconsistent on how I was trying to do this in terms of like Top Movies and like Top Albums and things like that. So I had to go to for 1990 and 1991. I had to go to the Grammy Awards just to give us a sense of what was going on. So in 1990, the album of the year was Back on the Block by Quincy Jones.
Reese Charest 6:01
That doesn't help me.
Dave Charest 6:02
Yep, that does nothing for me.
Reese Charest 6:04
No.
Dave Charest 6:04
The Best Rock Performance was Janie's Got a Gun by Aerosmith. The Best Metal Performance was Stone Cold Crazy by Metallica. Best Alternative was I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor. I like that album. That's a great album.
Reese Charest 6:21
Remember her?
Dave Charest 6:21
I do. Best Rap Solo ready back in the days when rap was rap. I don't know what to say there.
Reese Charest 6:28
That was a very white thing to say.
Dave Charest 6:29
Yes, exactly. Yeah.
Reese Charest 6:30
You got that white!
Dave Charest 6:32
Ready, Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J.
Reese Charest 6:36
My man.
Dave Charest 6:37
Now the Best Rap Duo or Group. You ready for it?
Reese Charest 6:40
Salt-N-Pepa.
Dave Charest 6:40
No. Summertime. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince
Reese Charest 6:44
And I have that on a 45?
Dave Charest 6:48
I remember...well, speaking of a 45. I had a cassingle...
Reese Charest 6:53
Oh, remember cassingles?
Dave Charest 6:55
...of... well, this is probably, this is the wrong year because this is what, or is it? No, I don't... I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got...it was when she did Nothing Compares 2 U. I had that on cassingle. That I listened to all the time.
Reese Charest 7:06
Say cassingle again.
Dave Charest 7:07
Cassingle!
Reese Charest 7:10
Did you guys have in your mall...?
Dave Charest 7:13
Did you guys have in you mall?
Reese Charest 7:14
It's exactly what I just said. Your imitation of me is spot on.
Dave Charest 7:15
It's uncanny, really?
Reese Charest 7:23
So did you have in your mall? The...it would have been in like one of the record stores where like you go and you choose songs and then they put it on a tape for you?
Dave Charest 7:34
I want to say yes.
Reese Charest 7:36
Me and Ruthann...that was our favorite thing to do. I had so many of those. They were really expensive.
Dave Charest 7:41
But I never did any of that. But yes. I believe that believe that is true. Yeah. 1991 Top Movies. Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Great movie.
Reese Charest 7:49
I saw that in Wildwood.
Dave Charest 7:51
That was like a...that was a big deal with that liquid...
Reese Charest 7:54
That was huge.
Dave Charest 7:55
...metal thing.
Reese Charest 7:55
I saw that in Wildwood with my dad, it was raining and we saw that.
Dave Charest 7:58
Ready for this one? Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. That was one of the top movies.
Reese Charest 8:06
What's his...Kevin Costner? Poor Kevin Costner. But I did. I did like it. I watched it several times.
Dave Charest 8:12
And it had that...
Reese Charest 8:13
Everything I do...
Dave Charest 8:14
There you go. There it is. Silence of the Lambs.
Reese Charest 8:20
I saw that in the theater too.
Dave Charest 8:20
Great movie. And City Slickers. Also a great movie.
Reese Charest 8:24
Oh, my God. That was...
Dave Charest 8:26
Which we need to put on the list of one to watch with the girls.
Reese Charest 8:28
It might be a little dirty, though.
Dave Charest 8:30
I don't think it's that bad. But anyway, so now the Grammys. Ready? Album of the Year in 1991. Unforgettable with Love - Natalie Cole.
Reese Charest 8:40
That the one she did with her dad?
Dave Charest 8:42
Like where her dad was passed.
Reese Charest 8:44
Right, but the added her.
Dave Charest 8:45
Yeah.
Reese Charest 8:46
It was pretty cool.
Dave Charest 8:47
That's pretty neat, yeah. Best Rock Performance was... or Hard Rock Performance was For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge by Van Halen.
Reese Charest 8:55
Wow. Wow.
Dave Charest 8:55
Which I think is funny. Because on the Grammys website for this album, they had a picture of Van Halen with David Lee Roth but For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was with Sammy Hagar.
Reese Charest 9:05
That's right.
Dave Charest 9:06
So that's a big faux pas.
Reese Charest 9:08
That is a huge...
Dave Charest 9:09
I would be...grrr.
Reese Charest 9:11
Although I do...I liked both of them.
Dave Charest 9:14
Oh, yeah. No, that's actually one of the only bands that really had success with like two different lead singers. And then the third or I don't know how many way through that, like that was enough already. But yeah, Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth, both really great frontman in their own right. And different. Just feelings to the band, which was also really good.
Reese Charest 9:38
It was still great.
Dave Charest 9:38
Yeah. Best Metal Album or Performance was Metallica - Metallica.
Reese Charest 9:44
Ugh, with the Metallica.
Dave Charest 9:45
Best Alternative - Out of Time - REM. Great album there.
Reese Charest 9:49
I used to love REM.
Dave Charest 9:50
Best Rap Solo. You ready? U Can't Touch This - MC Hammer. Best Rap Duo or Group Back on the Block by Melle Mel, Iced-T, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Mo Dee, Quincy Jones and Quincy D The third.
Reese Charest 10:08
Wow. So the heavy hitters right there.
Dave Charest 10:11
There we go. All right, here we go. And senior year, folks 1992. Top Movies. Batman Returns.
Reese Charest 10:20
Not so good.
Dave Charest 10:23
Not bad. Not bad.
Reese Charest 10:24
You went high pitched on that.
Dave Charest 10:25
Very high pitched. That was...I wanted to call the animals over for this part of the show. Home Alone 2.
Reese Charest 10:33
Also, not so great.
Dave Charest 10:34
No. Lost in New York was the name of that one. Lethal Weapon 3. I believe Joe Pesci was in that one. I remember that being okay. Right. Right. Is that correct? Was he in that one?
Reese Charest 10:45
Who?
Dave Charest 10:45
Joe Pesci. He wasn't in the second one was he?
Reese Charest 10:48
I didn't watch any of those.
Dave Charest 10:50
Oh, really? Oh, those were good. That was those were those are pretty good.
Reese Charest 10:53
I wasn't interested.
Dave Charest 10:54
Albums. Roping the Wind - Garth Brooks. Dangerous by Michael Jackson. I couldn't name a song off of that album. But...
Reese Charest 11:05
I think we I think there's a couple on the Michael Jackson Wii.
Dave Charest 11:08
There are...but I'm like, Oh, these songs. Nevermind - Nirvana. Some Gave All - Billy Ray Cyrus. Right. And I had to add a fifth because it's coming in at number five at the Top Albums for 1992.
Reese Charest 11:21
Yes. Casey Casem. What is it?
Dave Charest 11:23
Achtung Baby.
Reese Charest 11:24
Well, yeah.
Dave Charest 11:25
U2.
Reese Charest 11:26
That changed my life. That album.
Dave Charest 11:28
So this is what was going on in the world. Or at least in at least in movies, music from 1989 to 1992. The formative years of Reese and Dave in high school. Reese What? Well, let's start with what type of high school did you go to? Because our experiences I think are a little bit different.
Reese Charest 11:53
Very different.
Dave Charest 11:54
So tell us about that.
Reese Charest 11:55
I went to St. Edmund's Catholic school. It was an all girl Catholic High School. And that's all I have to say about that.
Dave Charest 12:06
So it's interesting. Because were you very religious?
Reese Charest 12:11
No. But my parents didn't want me to go to public school. Because they thought I would get in trouble. So they spent like...
Dave Charest 12:20
You showed them! You can get in trouble anywhere.
Reese Charest 12:22
Yeah, I think they spent like six grand a year to have me be at detention every day. Which I think my mother was fine about because then then I was at home causing problems. But I went to Catholic school for 12 years, because I went from grammar school to high school. So but that was a big leap, because there were no boys so that my parents thought that that would be good. And it probably was good. That there were no boys there. That was one less distraction that I had. But it was it was fun. I didn't mind that. I wouldn't change that.
Dave Charest 12:58
So I did go to a public school. Yep. Inner City public school. Big class. My graduating class was really big. And we can talk more about that in a bit. But yes, a completely different experience, obviously a coed experience, not based on religion at all, any of that. So an interesting, interesting time. Well, so I guess that's probably a good question. Like, how overall, how did you feel about your high school experience?
Reese Charest 13:26
I actually, like looking back on it. I mean, it had some rough spots. But overall, I really liked high school, I actually enjoyed going to school every day, because I got to hang out with my friends and be funny, and well, what I thought I was being funny, probably is really annoying. But it was like me just going to school and just having fun with my friends All the time. I didn't I can't tell you that I learned anything about the about Catholicism and all. The the main points that I just remember them driving home was that you should not have sex before marriage, because you're going to go to hell. Pretty much everything you did was gonna land you in hell. And then....and I also remember they made us take, like, typewriting class.
Dave Charest 14:22
I used to love that.
Reese Charest 14:23
Yes, they were Yeah, they were very bent on like, making sure that we understood that we were all going to be secretaries. So yeah, some of my favorite things about that class was getting there early, and switching all the letters around on the typewriter because you could do that. And you could just pluck them off and switch them.
Dave Charest 14:42
I remember.
Reese Charest 14:43
But there's a specific way that they're supposed to be so that you can remember it so that you can you know the layout to the keyboard right so that you can do it without looking and I used to just rearrange them. My teacher hated me.
Dave Charest 14:56
So something you said there was interesting because I remember I remember taking typing and I loved that class. I don't remember it ever being positioned as it's because you're going to be a secretary. Was that that's but that's how it was positioned to you guys?
Reese Charest 15:12
Yes. That we were going to have some sort of office job. We also had Home Ec too. home back to Did you have home ec?
Dave Charest 15:20
Ah, yes?
Reese Charest 15:23
They wouldn't let me bake anything. But we used to make...
Dave Charest 15:30
Yeah, I think we had something.
Reese Charest 15:31
...shitty things that I've never used. But those two things I remember we're like, kind of big. And then, the last two years, the teacher from my religion class, there was only one nun for that class and sister Rose Marie, she did not like me at all. So I basically did not have religion class for like the last two years of high school. I'm smiling really big right now. It was great. Okay, what else?
Dave Charest 15:59
For me, I enjoyed it. I had a good high school experience. I enjoyed it. I do think, you know, it's interesting, too, because I'm thinking of some of the things that happened. And, and I was in a situation where I had groups of friends in every class, starting 1989. So my best friend we'll talk about later, was class of 89. Some of my really good friends that we still connect with now class of 89. I had friends from 90. I had friends from 91. And I had obviously friends within my actual class, but which I guess looking at it now is...
Reese Charest 16:38
Were you popular? You seem like you would be...
Dave Charest 16:41
I suppose. Like I didn't really like look at it like I was popular. I guess. Let's, we'll ask the audience, right. Was I popular? I don't know. But I just...
Reese Charest 16:49
There's Erik Lemay is shaking his head, no.
Dave Charest 16:51
Yeah, absolutely not. But I had like I was friendly with lots of people.
Reese Charest 16:58
Yeah, I was the same way. So went into the school with a bunch of my middle school friends. And we kind of all stayed friends. Throughout. There was a little blip sophomore year, and I'll talk about that. But in every class, I was friends with all of the groups, like all the groups of people that metalheads, the stoners, the dorks. The, the bullies, like I just I made friends with everybody. I just always my thing was just, you know, keep it light, keep it funny. I used to crack jokes and do things that everybody was okay with me there was like, sophomore year was that was the only time where I had some issues with people. And then I remember there being like a trip on the bus going to I think it was Washington where some of the girls that were like, not bullies, but they were kind of like the tough girls. And I'll talk about that. Sure, later on. But that was the only time that I had like interactions that weren't pleasant. But other than that, yeah, I'm just like friends with everybody, which was helpful.
Dave Charest 18:05
So would you say that there were or was a teacher that had a major, major influence on you during high school?
Reese Charest 18:13
Not a teacher, but I always talk about sister Barbara. Everybody knows sister Barbara. She was the best she was. I didn't have her as a teacher. But she was like the dean. And I think like, later on, she became vice principal or something. But she was the dean. And she was absolute best. She, like, you know, you did something wrong, like she didn't guilt you. But she would have these ways of like talking to you and giving you that talk. Where...I don't know, I don't know what...she was like magical. I don't know, she just had a way of she wasn't like your typical nun. All the other nuns there hated me. And she was the only one that really just was so good to me. I don't know what it was. But she was like that with everybody. So sister Barbara. Yeah, she kept me. I mean, I still got in trouble. But, you know, not as bad as I probably could have been. Yeah, spent a lot of time in her office. She used to make me. So when I was supposed to be in religion class, either. I'd be in her office. And then she's to have all these Smurfs on her desk, and I would like hide them in the office. And then, you know, then the next time I was in there, she's like, Don't hide my Smurfs. And I went okay, and then I would hide them. And then then she moved me to the library, because I couldn't be in our office anymore, because I would hide the Smurfs. So she would make me go to the library and make me watch Ordinary People. That was my punishment. I must have seen that movie. I don't know how many times so every time I got in trouble, I'd have to go in the library and watch Ordinary People. I don't know why she made me watch that particular movie, but that's, you know, that's what happened. And that's where during one of my detentions I found the Time magazine with U2 on it and I took it. And I still have it.
Dave Charest 20:02
There's gonna be some fines and fees coming our way.
Reese Charest 20:05
They don't know. The nuns don't read. Just kidding.
Dave Charest 20:07
They're gonna find out because they'll be listening.
Reese Charest 20:10
Yeah. All of the nuns.
Dave Charest 20:11
So did you have anybody else or was that, sister Barbara?
Reese Charest 20:14
No, just sister Barbara was the best.
Dave Charest 20:16
So as I was thinking about this I, I had I had three people that that came to mind and in terms of just influencing or having a major influence on me during my high school years and number one of the top of that list was Kay LaFebre. And Kay LeFebre was cheerleading coach. And I was a cheerleader. No, I wasn't a cheerleader. She was a cheerleading coach, but she was also the head of our marketing club called DECA, back then, which is stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America.
Reese Charest 20:50
You're a dork.
Dave Charest 20:51
Yeah, exactly. Well, I was president of DECA.
Reese Charest 20:53
Of course you were.
Dave Charest 20:54
Yeah. But Kay LeFebre was one of those just like a hoot to like, be around and you learned a lot from her. And she was just like a really great person. And we had a kick ass cheerleading squad. I learned a lot in her class. And through Distributive Education Clubs of America or DECA, we there was a competition that you would have to you know, compete locally, and then you had a chance to compete nationally. And I actually made it to the nationals. The year that I was a, I guess, a senior. And so we traveled to California, to compete at the national level. And we got to go to Disney World, ah, Disneyland.
Reese Charest 21:33
That's when you went to Disney.
Dave Charest 21:35
Yeah. Which happened to be if I'm not mistaken, also a time when the LA riots were happening. And so that whole thing was going down while we were in California, but we were in Anaheim, obviously. So that was somebody that was just a fantastic teacher, and just a good person that brought out I think a lot of me, particularly in the realm of marketing. And it's funny, right? Like, I'm in marketing today. That's where I ended up. And so I that's always been something that I am grateful for the relationship and the influence that she had over me. Number two, was Mickey Schiavone. Who was...
Reese Charest 22:14
I feel like you're making these names up.
Dave Charest 22:15
I know right? No, these things are real names. And and I think yes, I actually so Mickey Schiavone was my wrestling coach. And was my wrestling coach for my freshman and sophomore year. Great coach, really great coach, and one of those coaches, you know, for me anyway, I am the type of person who likes to have those people that you try to do better for. Does that make sense? And he was one of those coaches. Like my freshman year after wrestling season was over, the house we were living in, we had like an empty attic. And we had mattresses up in the attic. And I would train like offseason and we'd be up there wrestling, like the group of us and, and doing all of this stuff, like I just wanted to do good for because it if it felt good if I was doing good for him, right. So just like a great coach and just taught me a lot, just there about pushing through and doing what you got to do and that type of thing. The unfortunate piece of it is that he left after my sophomore year, we got some new coaches in who weren't great. And, and I was I ended up being captain of my wrestling team junior and senior year, but it was like, I didn't have the same drive because like, ugh...you know?
Is the third one named, Bibbidi Bobbidi?
Well, it's funny. The third one is named Dib Sarkis.
Reese Charest 23:47
Oh, Dib. I can't make fun of Dib.
Dave Charest 23:48
You know, Dib. So Dib was also one of our football coaches, and one of our wrestling coaches and cousins with a good friend Paul Sarkis, who we know and he was just a just a great guy, kind of this like big muscle guy, and just had a way about him and the way he interacted with people and just a great guy. Learned a lot from him. And I think it's just you know, seeing him today, it's nice to see him, you know, around and, and, and just a good person. So those were the three for me that just had influence over how I was.
Reese Charest 24:29
It's so great that your coaches were really good. None of my coaches really. I mean, I played basketball, and my nickname was "over here." Because I'd scream "over here, over here," and no one would throw the ball. And then then I was in cheerleading. And most of the time I would just hear, "Please don't do that." So I never had and then I played volleyball senior, junior/senior year, which I was pretty good at but I can't remember anything my coaches did. Everything was, "Please don't do that," because I just would mess around. You know what I mean?
Dave Charest 25:03
Sounds a lot like today.
Reese Charest 25:04
Pretty much.
Dave Charest 25:06
"Please don't do that..."
Reese Charest 25:07
Just like a couple of minutes ago before we started the podcast with you, "Please don't do that." So yeah, like, that's great that you had that type of connection with coaches, because usually that's, you know, who you look to sometimes.
Dave Charest 25:21
Yeah, really good. Question, one, that we have to really get us into it that we prepared here today. So the first, you know, what were your top memories from high school?
Reese Charest 25:30
I just remember laughing a lot. And so I had a couple of things here. You know, I mean, there were some moments that were really fun. Like, the lunchroom always had the best table, we'd always talk about 90210, like the next day. And I was like, BFFs, with the lunch ladies. And they used to like hook me up, which is why I was a little overweight. In high school, and then, you know, we used to decorate each other's lockers during birthdays. And that was always fun. But the top three moments that I guess memories that that pop out are when we went to the ski trip. We had a ski trip, I think it was, you know, they all blended together. And I feel like it was probably like, junior year maybe. Or the beginning of sophomore year, I don't remember. But we went on a ski trip, which was the dumbest thing you could do with a bunch of ridiculous high school girls. And I remember like going there and I put vodka in a water spray bottle. And I, nope, that's a lie. It wasn't vodka. I lied. It was um, it was like a brandy. Like a disgusting brandy because no one in the house drank it. So I put that in there. And then we, when we got to the room, we all drink it. And then we had to go downstairs and get fitted for the ski shoes, the ski boots, and everybody was bright red and hot and sweating because the brandy warmed us up. So we were we were like a little tipsy. So and then my friend Denise got her foot caught in the boot...
Dave Charest 27:08
And the mixture with the Windex was...
Reese Charest 27:10
Yeah, no. And then. And then that's the trip that I always talk about my one and only skiing experience where I try to go up the lift where you had to hold the rope and it pulls you up and I got an I didn't get off of the rope where I was supposed to. So it took me all the way to the top. And then I told the guy I want to take my skis off and walk down and he's like, you can't do that. And I was like, Well, I'm going to and he's like, nope, and he like pushed me. And I barreled down and I like bent over which made me go faster. And then I fell smack like face to face into Michelle Beauvais who the night before had injured her elbow when we went roller skating in a roller rink. So I knocked into her styrofoam cast. And then I was like, get these skis off of me. I'm done. And that was the end of that. And then we met some kid I have actually have that ski trip on VHS, which I plan one day to convert it to a DVD so we can watch the shenanigans on there. We made friends with this kid that looked like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. And that was our big thing. Then there was the Washington trip. So on that trip on the bus, so at that point, I was in love with Bon Jovi, like that was the bing band there...
Dave Charest 28:23
You know, one of our Grammy or top albums...
Reese Charest 28:26
That's right. I'm sure that I was very excited about that the time.
Dave Charest 28:30
1989.
Reese Charest 28:31
And Richie Sambora was like my favorite person, and he at the time was dating Cher. And I hated Cher. Anytime I'd hear, If I Can Turn Back Time, I would flip out. And so we're on the bus, and the girls in the back of the bus who were way stronger than me and get into many fist fights. But I never got into one I would start it but I would never finish it. But so they purposely kept playing. If I Can Turn Back Time on purpose to like, provoke me.
Dave Charest 29:00
Of course.
Reese Charest 29:01
So finally it got up and I was like, I'm going back there and saying something and everybody's like, please don't, but I did. And then I was like, you guys, but I went in their face. I was like you guys, but I stopped playing Cher. I hate her. Blah, blah, blah. And then I turned away and I felt really good about myself. And then and then everybody that I was sitting with had this like look on their face. And when I turned around, one of the girls came over to me I'm not gonna mention names, because I'm hoping they don't even remember this. And they're probably not going to listen to this podcast, but I'm friends with them now on Facebook, and they're actually very nice ladies who have families now. So she came in, she came up to my face and put her finger on my face. She's like, when this bus pulls over, I am taking you and I'm throwing you underneath the bus with the luggage. And I was like, oh, something to that effect. It was like horrifying. I'm like, Oh my god, I'm gonna die. So I was like, so she goes back and she sets and I was like, oh yeah. And then I got up and then I mooned her. And then that's what they did. They laughed at it. And they thought that that was really funny. So when we got off the bus, they were like moon that bus have kids over there. So I did. So the whole Washington trip, I just mooned people. And so for the rest of the year I got called mooner. So that was fun. And then there was the prom, which I've talked about, which was just lovely. I went with Andrew and we had the best time and our table was fun, and everything was fun. And you know, some people talk about how terrible their prom is, but I loved my prom is really good. Except for like before the prom when I was getting dressed, and then I lost this very special bra that I bought, specifically that I had my mother, get done. I had it made because I was so afraid that someone else would have the same dress. And because I was spoiled that, Dave's shaking his head, yes. I did it. I look like Maria, Maria Conchita Alonso from Kiss of the Spider Woman. This dress was ridiculous. And so my cousin was doing my hair and putting on makeup and I couldn't find the bra and I was freaking out. And I was sweating. And she was getting mad at me. And I was like, but I can't for the bra. I don't know what to do. And then she smacked me in the face. And I stopped crying. But then I started crying because she smacked me in the face. Then I found that bra, like three years later, it had fallen behind the drawer in my, I had like drawers under my bed, and it fell behind there. I don't know, I felt it necessary to add that part of the story. But those are the three memories. I had just those trips. Were so much fun. Oh my God also on? I think it was the No, it was the Washington trip.
Dave Charest 31:34
All right.
Reese Charest 31:44
We were in our rooms. And I had connecting rooms with my friends and all of a sudden we hear a knock on the door and I opened the door. And I think it was my friend Karen and I opened the door and and someone threw a pail like the the bucket for the ice and ice bucket of water on her and ran away. So we're like, oh, this is the game people are playing. Well, that's what we're gonna do. So we were doing it. So we're like we're gonna, we're gonna do this. So then two seconds later, someone knocks on the door. I'm like, hurry up, fill the bucket with water. Someone's in the bathroom fills the bucket. Karen gets the bucket. I open the door. She throws a bucket of water. And it was one of the nuns. And she wasn't. She wasn't a nun garb. She was just dressed like regular clothing...
Dave Charest 32:32
Was it a swimsuit?
Reese Charest 32:33
So...why would you say that? She...why'd I forget her name? And she looked like a wet rat, like this woman. And I slammed the door and then I went into the closet right next to the door and peed in my pants. I never laughed so hard in my entire life. It was the it was the best. And that's all I got.
Dave Charest 32:55
Whoa. That was a, that was a...Is it my turn?
Reese Charest 33:00
Now let's hear more about Rickety Rackety the next coach ya had.
Dave Charest 33:06
Well, so it's kind of funny because number one is going to be I think...
Reese Charest 33:09
Flippity Floppity.
Dave Charest 33:14
Top memories from high school. Meaning of course, who to stay is my best friend, Bryant Dube. so be Scooby dooby dooby dooby. So yeah, meaning Bryant dB. Still close friends today godfather of our children, along with his wife who's a bad mother. After we record this we're going to visit with them is so interesting. Because Brian was a senior when I was a freshman. And so Stan didn't like them. Yep. He thought it was weird. That's a senior wanted to hang out with the freshmen so he thought there was something strange going on there
Reese Charest 33:50
and also didn't like you're listening to striper Stryker,
Dave Charest 33:53
well, so that Yes, it was. It was striper. striper because striper was a Christian striper was a Christian. There was a terrific album they had because it was called To hell with the devil. And he saw devil written on the album, and he was like, I don't want you listening to that I had no no standards. They're saying To hell with the devil. They're a Christian. Anyhow, yeah, a sidebar there. To this day, just one of my best friends just all around good person. I remember actually having to explain the stand and stand was good. Like, if you you explain something and bla bla bla bla and you okay, if you make sense. Alright. Good. And yeah, I've been like, No, no, he's he's fine. Like, bah, bah, bah, and this and that. And, yeah, so we've been friends for a long time. And it's funny because he's actually friends with my, my dad, as well. And they, you know, so anyway, yeah. That was one of the great things coming out of that, aside from all the other friends that I had, you know, in the way that we Hang out with here today. Some other things that I remember, one in particular was English class, I think either my junior senior year, probably senior year. And I was in this class with Paul circus. And Paul Sarkis, and I were just idiots in terms of like, the things that we would do. And I can't remember, I can't remember the English teacher's name, if anybody knows or remembers the shenanigans we used to pull in this class. But there would be times we'd be in this class, you know, how, you know, teachers would have you read aloud. And
Reese Charest 35:39
I said, his name Bob Shabaab, though,
Dave Charest 35:41
it was not Bob Shabaab site. A, we were reading Fiddler on the Roof, maybe aloud in class, and I was reading it like Tommy flannagan, for sure. But it was, you know, remember him? Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. Yeah, he Yeah. So I was reading the whole thing like that. And we were trying not to laugh during that whole thing. And she was like, decor, Bo, decart, something like that. Maybe it was her name. Then there were times where we would have books that were you know, lent from the school that we will be reading for a particular part of the class. And then we would have to bring those books back to the library in the school. And you know, she'd be like, oh, does anybody want to bring the books and me and Paul would jump up immediately and be like, well bring them. And then we put like, one book on the cart, and then run out of the room with the one bucket, you'd
be like, get back here,
folks, and we just
have to keep going back and forth in this. We just drove this woman crazy. And so we like I said, idiots, but lots of fun. And then another thing that we used to do that was bigger than our school. And I don't know if you had anything like this, but we used to do a Model UN. That was a big deal. And I was never like involved in the the political aspect of it other than I was like, on security for the bottle of Model UN.
But I remember in particular, did you wear your wrestling uniform?
Yes, I wear a singlet and I just would take down everybody that came into the room
that wasn't supposed to be there. But I needed to hear Yes.
The headgear was a little weird. And I remember they would do so we would have all of the countries in the Model UN and we'd be in the auditorium. And they would do the national anthems for all of the all of the different countries. And I remember sitting next, of course, sitting next to Paul, again, looking for any excuse to be idiots. and Saudi Arabia, the national anthem for Saudi Arabia, they bought and there were no words to their, their national anthem, it was just music that they were playing and I looked upon it was like, they don't have words. And so I was like, well, we got to make some words. So we were like Saudi Arabia to the thing again, I don't think there were any other words Other than that, but we got a big kick out of that at the time. So Exactly. And so those are my three things in terms of like top memories, of course, aside from romantic relationships, and then those types of things. But those were some things that came to mind. So those were our fun memories was their worst memory that you have from high school.
Reese Charest 38:18
Oh, tons. Well, why
Dave Charest 38:20
don't you share one to maybe I don't know you.
Reese Charest 38:25
There were many, many times, sometimes willingly. But for the most part, I didn't know when it was coming. People would like to, it was real, that you got shoved into a locker. That happened a few times. The worst was when the couple of girls threw me into one of those huge grey garbage cans that were like in the lunch room. And I couldn't get out. And then I was late for class and I got in trouble. And I tried to explain someone put me in the garbage can. And they didn't believe me. I wonder why. Then there was there was that little so I talked about sophomore year was a little blip. Where there was I never cut school. In fact, I have my word here. That says perfect attendance award recipient.
Sophomore year.
Dave Charest 39:14
Wow. Maybe we'll have to snap a shot of that. Yeah. And show that. What year was that? January 1990. Wow. perfect attendance award.
Reese Charest 39:24
Yep. Like I said, I used to like go
Dave Charest 39:26
not just regular attendance, but also punctuality.
Reese Charest 39:29
Yep. Very impressive. My mother was very, very good at making sure I got there on time and away from her. So that was good. Yeah, I never cut school. That was not a thing that I did. I was afraid of getting in trouble. And if I didn't want to go to school, I would just tell my mother. Yeah. And she'd be like, stay home. So one year, bunch of my friends cut school. And me and a couple of the girls didn't and they went to Manhattan Beach and they were walking along. Getting ready to like go into the beach and one of the girls fathers drove by and saw his kid and started screaming and put them all in his truck, drove them all back to school, they all got in trouble. And I don't know how it happened. But I guess like they called my mom thinking that I was with them. And then they call me on the loudspeaker. And they're like, oh, you're here. I'm like, Yeah, I've been here the whole time. And so then someone saw that I was called down to the office. So then they just assumed that I ratted them out. And I didn't say anything to anybody. And then then I had a call on my mom to let her know that I didn't cut school because they had told her that I also cut class. And so then for pretty much that entire semester, no one talked to me. And people wrote mean things on my desk and on the blackboard and on my locker. And I had people threaten me every day after school at the seniors hated me. And then Earth, Dan's brother, Adam, few times would meet me and walk me home. I remember, like, one rainy day, he came with the umbrella and he walks me home. And I was it was just terrible. But then I had a group of people that actually told me to come sit with them. And then I made new friends, which was great. And so that was good. And then senior, became friends with everybody again, and forgave everybody, because that's what I do. And then I remember one really bad moment was when a classmate of ours Kim Fox died. And it was like the first time like, someone our age passed away. Yeah. And she'd like died in her sleep. She had asthma or something. And she died in her sleep. And so everybody was like, well, like, I remember that being like, terrible. Yeah. And I wasn't, I was friends with her ex. Like, I was friends with everybody. But you know, seeing her like best friends at the week. No, that's horrible. So I'm sure there were other things that weren't great. But those are the ones I remember.
Dave Charest 41:53
Yeah, the most. So I don't really have like bad memories of high school. Like they weren't like, again, you know, my whole, like, things happened the way this was to happen, and bla bla bla bla, and I'm sure they were like, moments that like, Oh, you know, but one thing I do remember that I think was just a really crappy thing. That I believe it was probably my senior year, senior year, junior year, one of those two, maybe. But there was a group of kids that were like jumping students, and like beating them up and stealing their hats. Yeah. And back in the day hats were a big fan, right? Like everybody had a baseball cap on or something like that. And so of course, obviously, like a lot of us who played sports with the jocks, like we had the thing, but like, yeah, they people were getting jumped in some of my friends and other people were getting jumped in. It was just like, oh, like, right, like really like that. That's happening?
Reese Charest 42:49
Well, that's why my parents had wanted me to go to public school, because apparently, it was like a big thing. Yeah.
Dave Charest 42:53
Yeah. Well, so interesting. Right. So like, let's move on to question three here, because it's the the question that we came up with here is like, what do you worry about for your kids in high school that you didn't have to worry about? And for me, you know, just like that situation, I guess I get very upset. And I think maybe this is where Emily gets it. Where, when something is not right. Like I'm very, like,
Reese Charest 43:15
That's not right. And there's an injustice,
Dave Charest 43:17
yes, where there is an injustice that needs to be right. And I'm very much, you know, I'm gonna stand up for people and I'm gonna, you know, do that type of thing. And that's why I got so upset, because I saw some my friends, you know, having been part of that situation. But the thing today that I worry about for the girls is just the fact that there's these guns, situations, lock downs, and like, that's something that is part of their normal, you know, and they
Reese Charest 43:45
don't have to worry about something like that. That's awful.
Dave Charest 43:48
It hurts me a lot, right?
Like, yeah,
Reese Charest 43:54
right. Right. I mean, I just said being bullied online. Because Yeah, being bullied, like, when I was in high school, at that time was pretty awful. Had there been the internet, it would have been 1000 times worse than it actually was. And, you know, it's like, the equivalent of like, what happened back then is I you know, I've told people this story where my mom called one of the moms because I came home, I was, like, distraught, I was sick to my stomach. And my mom called one of the moms and had there been an intranet and my mother was on it, she would have said these things online, which probably would have landed her in jail. But she told one of the moms exactly like this. If you don't tell your kid to stop, I'm gonna come to your house. I'm gonna rip your head off, and I'm gonna pull your heart out through your throat. And I remember thinking, Well, that's it now I'm done. Like, I'm done. She just threatened. That's like, for Beetham what she said,
Dave Charest 44:58
I believe it. Yep, I believe it is I know your mother. Yes,
Reese Charest 45:00
yes. So like, if that was today, you know, like what happens with the kids just, you know, some of the stuff I mean working with like, especially the Lauren's high school kids, like, they've had some issues with online stuff that I've had to take class time and kind of have a discussion with them about it like that the online stuff is just awful. But worrying about them every day that they're going to come back home. Yes. Another real reality. I don't like to think about
surprise questions. Okay.
Dave Charest 45:36
What do you got for me?
Reese Charest 45:39
What was your senior year high school song?
Oh.
Dave Charest 45:49
Did you have one? Sure. Probably. I don't remember. I have no idea. I don't remember that all I do remember in our senior senior yearbook though, I did put it a Billy Joel quote as my quote question again. That was the whole What is it the best you know, life is a series of hellos and goodbyes. I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again. Oh, yeah.
Reese Charest 46:12
That's sweet.
Were you not? Well, extra? Credit question. Okay.
Dave Charest 46:17
Since I nailed that first one, you're dead? Yeah.
Reese Charest 46:20
Did Did you get nominated for something like senior year like voted most?
Dave Charest 46:26
I was most charming. Of course, she was cool. Yeah. And I was a prince at the problem. Of course, you're
Reese Charest 46:33
good, sweet Jesus take the wheel.
Dave Charest 46:36
Oh, my question for you though.
Reese Charest 46:38
I was voted most likely to jump out of a window.
Dave Charest 46:41
Was that a real thing? Yes. Because I believe it. Yes. Yeah. Remember that time you did jump out of a window? I did. It was on the first floor. Yeah, it was kind of actually kind of silly. But
Reese Charest 46:49
when did I jump out of a window? I just said yes.
And then we also had seen your jerseys. And the back of my jersey said, because I asked everybody to give me my nickname. And so mine was mental mudgett mental midget midgets not a nice word. But 30 something years ago, it was fine. And that's what my friends thought of me. Anyway,
Dave Charest 47:10
what's the question? My question for you. You ready for this doozy? What do you think would have happened if we met
Reese Charest 47:16
in high school? Oh, Jesus? That's actually a really good question. I don't think I would have liked you
Dave Charest 47:23
know, I don't think I would have liked you know, we would not have gotten along at all. Nope. Audience Question Time. Our first question here comes from Kevin. And Kevin says, with cameras everywhere now versus almost none. When we were in high school? Do you feel that kids today are immune to cameras? And how have your parenting styles changed over the years due to technology? So kind of twofold there. Do you think? So let's take this part by part. Do you feel like kids are immune to cameras now?
Reese Charest 47:54
Yes. Well, because they're so stupid. I mean, like, I did stupid things, too, when I was a kid. And like I said, it's on a VHS tape. So I mean, that's not getting anywhere. But for the most part, we didn't want to record any of the dumb things that we used to do, because we knew that that would get us in trouble. But kids do this stuff all the time. And they film themselves, like, doing the dumbest crap, like all these challenges, and they do DME, and then they record it, and then they get in trouble. And it's really it's ridiculous. So I think it's bad now because they look for that attention.
Dave Charest 48:30
You know, so it's right. So on that note, I have, I feel like there's more pressure to seem okay. Because you're seeing a snapshot or things. You're not seeing the true story. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. But I also think there's another side with the camera thing that I think there is, you know, the more I think of it, I mean, there's, it's amazing with some of these devices and the technology that they have it that that does open up this whole other world of creativity. Yeah. on the good side, there's definitely not without the negative thing.
Reese Charest 49:01
Tic Tac stuff is fun.
Dave Charest 49:02
A lot of a lot of the things that they do, I'm just like, Wow, that's pretty cool. But I'm also I also think, though, at least from what I can see from our girls, and the people that they hang around with, is I also feel that they're also more open and accepting of other people, and other like lifestyles and way I don't think back 31 years ago, they were people were that, you know what I mean? We were most I think we people back then were more closed minded and whatever. Although, again, this is just a small slice of what we're seeing. I think those people do still exist, but I'm glad that at least from what I can see, and the people that the girls have chosen to hang around with, that they are more open and accepting and it's not like a big deal.
Reese Charest 49:55
Yes, I agree with that.
Dave Charest 49:57
Jake has a question for us. How would you younger self like high school in this day and age, what do you think would be better? And what would totally suck?
Reese Charest 50:08
Yeah. So I don't think I would not enjoy High School. Now, if I was in high school, and I would not like it, there's a Yeah, I don't think I would like it.
Dave Charest 50:22
Do you think I'd be okay with it? Like, I don't know. Like, I don't, I don't. Again, this is where I have trouble being like, well, I don't know what you know, I think I would be okay with it. And I don't think it would be, I don't think I don't necessarily think anything would be better. I just think everything would be different,
Reese Charest 50:38
right? And I feel like what if it was the personality that I had in high school, and I would have that now, I would definitely not like it because it would not be tolerated. The way it was when I was younger, and then I just feel like, you know, I watch the kids walk out when I go to pick up the girls. And it's just like, I don't know, they all look miserable. And they all look tired, and none of them have coats on.
Dave Charest 51:03
Well, that's an age old problem. centuries. In terms of what would totally suck a couple of things coming to mind, I think, obviously, let's recall that cold guns situation. Yes. It has to be part of the vernacular. What's going on? Yeah, that would totally suck. Yeah. And then just recalling the technology bit, just on a couple of levels, having evidence of the stupidity. Yep. Could be fun on one level. But then some things you're like, Oh, I don't want any evidence of that happening. Right.
Reese Charest 51:36
And that's is that those bunch kids don't care and one picture when video gets out. Yeah. And then that, like spreads like syphilis. Oh, yeah. I
Dave Charest 51:48
don't like
Reese Charest 51:49
I said, while
Dave Charest 51:50
my almost there's very little room for a kid in these times where you're learning and figuring things out. And you know what? Making mistakes, right? There's not a lot of room for mistakes to be lessons to learn from versus things that are used against you. Does that make sense? Right? I agree. Bill asks, What are your best funniest moments in high school where you got in a ton of trouble? However, looking back on it now it was funny and appropriate to share with your children as a funny story and a learning moment.
Reese Charest 52:27
I have way too many. I mean, they they know all my I've told them all my shenanigans. Can I can I read some of my discipline notice? Oh, you have,
Dave Charest 52:37
please do that.
Reese Charest 52:38
Okay. This is sophomore year. I got a disrupting class and the notes at the bottom dear parents, Marisa has detention for this poor behavior detention Wednesday, January 17. This is 1990 I got four demerits. Then on 313 92, Risa had been arguing and came into the classroom. She said something to someone and then used foul language. I looked at her and said, Excuse me, she turned away and used foul language again. I said we do not speak that way in my classroom. She later apologized say it wasn't so bad. And sister Barbara brain the awesome person she was she wrote Marie, so watch what you say, you should be commended for apologizing. That's why sister Barbara was the best I was. I only got two demerits for using foul language. And then Marisa does no work in math. Her behavior,
Dave Charest 53:39
we know where, yep.
Reese Charest 53:42
Her behavior and grades go hand in hand help is needed. There was one I don't know where it is. I feel like I should have put it in a frame. But there's definitely there's definitely one. This was from 1998. There's definitely one that says that I was making animal noises in the back of the room.
Dave Charest 53:59
Sounds about right.
Reese Charest 54:00
Yeah. And it actually says it like on the thing. I used to try to escape school every day. I would just leave the building and see how long I could stay outside before someone noticed that I wasn't there. And then sister Barbara caught on to it. And then she like figured out my escape route. And then she finally caught me and she was waiting there for me. And that was the most trouble. I actually I got into because I wasn't supposed to leave school. I also used to steal the supplies in the art room. I don't know why I mentioned that.
Dave Charest 54:36
Like, is there anything else? We've got we got a time. So so the one I wrote So again, I didn't I wasn't like a big troublemaker, anything like that occasional stuff would happen. But one of the things that we did, and led by me typically like I was so I was stupid. The one that like, you know, oh, Dave isn't good. But I was always the one like, Oh, we should do this thing that would be the thing that would, you know, could get us into trouble. But we were in this was more of a creative exercise than what it sounds like. We figured out how to make fake IDs, using like contact paper, and like making a copy of like numbers and then pulling that off and then putting it over like use like a pencil. And so I was excited creatively by the fact that I could take an ID and make it looked like a different year. And actually like, Hey, that looks pretty good. And so and so this is how, like, I didn't think I was doing anything that would get me in trouble. Is that like, I was literally doing it like on the kitchen table. Yeah, because I'm just doing it on the kitchen table going like
Reese Charest 55:54
me stand sorry. Oh, yeah.
Dave Charest 55:56
Stand like my dad come up Bryant. Dad came over, because we were like, okay, we won't do that. We're just like, yeah, we were like, no, like, Look, I could do this. Again. I would never use a fake ID. I don't think I ever used a fake.
Reese Charest 56:10
Oh, you didn't go? Well,
Dave Charest 56:12
I didn't need a fake ID
Unknown Speaker 56:15
to fake ID.
Dave Charest 56:19
But, yeah, so that was one of the things that we did. So the I guess the learning moment there is don't make fake IDs,
Reese Charest 56:26
because people can see you because well, what are
fake fake IDs is what I was going to say.
Dave Charest 56:33
Anyway. Tina asks, Is there something about high school you would do differently based on the knowledge you've gained as an adult?
Reese Charest 56:43
I wrote and Timmons, banana crunch cake doesn't equal love.
Dave Charest 56:50
That sounds like a really emotional moment that you need to unpack for us.
Reese Charest 56:54
It was very Monica ish. Yeah, I would just I would have put the fork down. I ate my emotions. During high school, really, I would have found something better to a better outlet. I think rather than just eating all the time, I ate a lot. And the girls eat a lot. But they are active where I was not. So that is a problem. But what about you? Oh, yeah,
Dave Charest 57:22
you know why?
I always have I always struggle with these. And so I wrote them good. I think. I don't know if I would have done anything differently. I think I'm good with the way things turned out. All right.
