1
00:00:07,305 --> 00:00:07,925
- Hey everybody.

2
00:00:08,075 --> 00:00:09,645
Halloween is next weekend.

3
00:00:09,875 --> 00:00:13,765
Something wicked this way
comes because diabolical Doug

4
00:00:13,905 --> 00:00:16,725
and Candy Corn Connor
are here on the Bethel

5
00:00:16,725 --> 00:00:17,965
School District Presents podcast.

6
00:00:18,545 --> 00:00:19,565
But I'll tell you what though,

7
00:00:19,685 --> 00:00:21,365
Connor in the podcast studio today,

8
00:00:21,385 --> 00:00:25,565
the fouls denes in the air,
the funk of 40,000 years

9
00:00:26,205 --> 00:00:27,205
- <laugh>.

10
00:00:28,095 --> 00:00:30,325
- Sorry about that. Uh, guy.
I had a lot of garlic at

11
00:00:30,325 --> 00:00:31,325
- Lunch.

12
00:00:31,325 --> 00:00:32,925
Well, you got a word off the
vampires somehow I wanted

13
00:00:32,925 --> 00:00:35,605
to kick the show off this week
by talking about our favorite

14
00:00:35,715 --> 00:00:38,125
Halloween costumes that we have as kids.

15
00:00:38,475 --> 00:00:39,485
I've done my research,

16
00:00:39,695 --> 00:00:41,685
which means I texted my mom earlier today

17
00:00:41,685 --> 00:00:43,805
and asked for a couple of
photos back from the good

18
00:00:43,805 --> 00:00:44,885
old days in Pittsburgh.

19
00:00:45,185 --> 00:00:50,005
So I have quite a few to
choose from. From 1976 to 1988.

20
00:00:50,165 --> 00:00:51,165
I need you to just pick a year.

21
00:00:51,365 --> 00:00:53,125
Connor, what costume should I talk about?

22
00:00:53,325 --> 00:00:54,645
- I wanna leave this one to chance Doug.

23
00:00:54,645 --> 00:00:56,005
So I'm gonna spin the wheel

24
00:01:07,025 --> 00:01:10,245
and it looks like it has landed on 1980.

25
00:01:10,465 --> 00:01:11,565
- That's a great year actually.

26
00:01:11,585 --> 00:01:14,045
And a really good chance
to give my mom some CU Joes

27
00:01:14,105 --> 00:01:15,805
for all the hard work she did,

28
00:01:15,805 --> 00:01:18,085
making our Halloween costumes as kids. You

29
00:01:18,085 --> 00:01:20,925
- Say Ku Joes,
- It's possible.

30
00:01:21,145 --> 00:01:25,765
Anyway, 1980, I was Batman and
my little sister was bat girl

31
00:01:25,905 --> 00:01:27,725
and my mom handmade the costumes.

32
00:01:27,905 --> 00:01:31,765
So imagine Adam West
inspired capes and cows

33
00:01:32,065 --> 00:01:33,085
and for our staff.

34
00:01:33,135 --> 00:01:35,965
We're gonna have that photo
in staff news this week.

35
00:01:35,965 --> 00:01:39,085
So you'll be able to see a
young Doug barely five years old

36
00:01:39,085 --> 00:01:40,365
ready to take on the Ridler

37
00:01:40,365 --> 00:01:42,045
and any other issues that happen

38
00:01:42,045 --> 00:01:44,605
to happen in Gotham City slash Pittsburgh.

39
00:01:44,755 --> 00:01:45,885
- I've actually seen the photo

40
00:01:46,025 --> 00:01:49,245
and boy that costume is something
you'll want to see it too.

41
00:01:49,435 --> 00:01:51,045
Alright Doug, I've heard about your

42
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:52,685
favorite Halloween costume.

43
00:01:52,905 --> 00:01:54,525
You wanna hear about mine? Not really.

44
00:01:54,945 --> 00:01:57,125
Too bad the world needs to hear this.

45
00:01:57,265 --> 00:02:00,245
And while you are mucking
around in the DC universe,

46
00:02:00,725 --> 00:02:03,565
I was dipping my toes into Marvel Town.

47
00:02:04,025 --> 00:02:05,165
My favorite costumes, one

48
00:02:05,165 --> 00:02:06,525
that I actually don't
even remember wearing,

49
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:07,885
but I have seen the photos

50
00:02:08,225 --> 00:02:09,605
and the story of

51
00:02:09,605 --> 00:02:12,925
that fateful Halloween
night has become lore in the

52
00:02:12,945 --> 00:02:14,365
Christofferson household.

53
00:02:14,515 --> 00:02:17,045
This is a story of two photographs.

54
00:02:17,305 --> 00:02:20,165
Let me paint you a word
picture, dear listeners.

55
00:02:20,345 --> 00:02:23,965
In photo number one, a
young boy of three dressed

56
00:02:23,985 --> 00:02:26,125
to the nines as Superman stares.

57
00:02:26,275 --> 00:02:30,605
Daggers into the camera,
surly as can be, desperate

58
00:02:30,625 --> 00:02:33,085
to get his pudgy fingers on some chocolate

59
00:02:33,505 --> 00:02:34,685
cut to several hours later.

60
00:02:34,745 --> 00:02:36,005
And photo number two,

61
00:02:36,585 --> 00:02:40,125
the same young man still in
costume sitting on a toilet,

62
00:02:40,665 --> 00:02:44,205
openly weeping face, absolutely
covered in chocolate.

63
00:02:44,645 --> 00:02:46,325
A pathetic display. I can tell you

64
00:02:46,325 --> 00:02:48,445
that Night dug evil lurked.

65
00:02:48,465 --> 00:02:52,085
Inside one of those photos
will be included in staff news.

66
00:02:52,545 --> 00:02:54,205
You'll have to click
to find out which one.

67
00:02:55,505 --> 00:02:58,405
- Wow, that was, that was
quite the story Connor.

68
00:02:58,725 --> 00:03:00,485
I don't know how we're gonna
move forward after that.

69
00:03:00,545 --> 00:03:02,445
Uh, just a little FYI.

70
00:03:02,845 --> 00:03:05,245
Superman is in the DC universe,
not the Marvel universe,

71
00:03:05,245 --> 00:03:07,205
but I'm gonna let you go because
you called it Marvel Town

72
00:03:07,265 --> 00:03:09,045
and I think that's what
they should change the name

73
00:03:09,045 --> 00:03:10,245
of the Marvel Universe too.

74
00:03:10,575 --> 00:03:11,925
Let's move on and let's head out

75
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:13,125
to Cougar Mountain Middle School.

76
00:03:13,325 --> 00:03:14,645
Connor, you had a chance to head out there

77
00:03:14,645 --> 00:03:16,645
and chat with a teacher
and two students in

78
00:03:16,645 --> 00:03:17,805
their science club.

79
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:19,885
They do all kinds of amazing things.

80
00:03:19,945 --> 00:03:20,965
So you talk to 'em about that

81
00:03:21,145 --> 00:03:22,325
and you also ask 'em

82
00:03:22,325 --> 00:03:23,845
what their favorite Halloween costumes

83
00:03:23,845 --> 00:03:25,165
were. Let's head out there. Now

84
00:03:25,595 --> 00:03:28,685
- Joining us today is Cougar
Mountain Middle School science

85
00:03:28,685 --> 00:03:30,325
teacher Kim Williams, along with two

86
00:03:30,325 --> 00:03:31,845
of her students, Marcel and Edith.

87
00:03:31,845 --> 00:03:33,885
They're all part of the
Cougar Mountain Middle

88
00:03:33,885 --> 00:03:35,085
School Science Club.

89
00:03:35,185 --> 00:03:37,885
So Kim, for those listeners
who maybe haven't heard

90
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:39,765
of the Cougar Mountain
Middle School Science Club,

91
00:03:39,865 --> 00:03:42,445
can you give us a little
rundown on what y'all do

92
00:03:42,905 --> 00:03:44,085
and why the club's so cool.

93
00:03:44,385 --> 00:03:46,205
- So we are like an
environmental based club.

94
00:03:46,345 --> 00:03:48,845
We go out and we work in
our local community with uh,

95
00:03:48,845 --> 00:03:49,845
the salmon population.

96
00:03:50,065 --> 00:03:52,285
We partner with the Squa Indian Tribe

97
00:03:52,345 --> 00:03:54,125
and the Squa River Education Project.

98
00:03:54,625 --> 00:03:56,245
And we actually go out and test the water

99
00:03:56,245 --> 00:03:57,405
quality in our local area.

100
00:03:57,905 --> 00:03:59,965
We do some salmon habitat restoration

101
00:04:00,505 --> 00:04:03,605
and we work with our students
to present our findings, um,

102
00:04:03,605 --> 00:04:06,605
at a local and state level to
see the quality of our rivers.

103
00:04:06,945 --> 00:04:08,965
- And how long have you
been at Cougar Mountain

104
00:04:08,965 --> 00:04:10,525
and how long have you been
doing the science club?

105
00:04:10,705 --> 00:04:12,925
- Uh, this is my 12th year at
Cougar Mountain Mill School

106
00:04:13,425 --> 00:04:15,605
and we've been doing the science
club for about nine years.

107
00:04:15,875 --> 00:04:18,285
- What I, I was going back over
some of our Facebook posts,

108
00:04:18,295 --> 00:04:19,925
which is how I know about the club

109
00:04:19,925 --> 00:04:21,525
because I see these amazing posts

110
00:04:21,525 --> 00:04:23,405
where you guys are out in the wild

111
00:04:23,455 --> 00:04:24,765
doing these amazing things.

112
00:04:24,785 --> 00:04:27,205
You've done water quality
testing throughout the area.

113
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:28,645
You've built a native plant,

114
00:04:28,645 --> 00:04:30,325
pollinator garden on campus here.

115
00:04:30,545 --> 00:04:32,885
You're planting native trees along the qu.

116
00:04:33,025 --> 00:04:34,805
You've sent student representatives

117
00:04:34,805 --> 00:04:37,325
to speak at the South
Sound Green Congress at

118
00:04:37,325 --> 00:04:38,365
Evergreen State College.

119
00:04:38,665 --> 00:04:40,365
You've even learned about aerodynamics

120
00:04:40,365 --> 00:04:42,205
by doing indoor skydiving.

121
00:04:42,205 --> 00:04:45,125
And my personal favorite
is tossing those rotting

122
00:04:45,125 --> 00:04:46,165
salmon carcasses.

123
00:04:46,235 --> 00:04:49,205
What I think is so great
about this is these are great

124
00:04:49,205 --> 00:04:51,925
educational experiences but
there's also a practical use.

125
00:04:51,925 --> 00:04:53,765
You're not just doing
this for the fun of it.

126
00:04:53,875 --> 00:04:56,405
This data is being used
by professional scientists

127
00:04:56,405 --> 00:04:57,805
to solve real world problems.

128
00:04:58,145 --> 00:05:00,485
Was that part of your
original thought for the club?

129
00:05:00,485 --> 00:05:03,005
That this wouldn't just be
a strictly educational thing

130
00:05:03,005 --> 00:05:04,405
but there would also be real world

131
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:05,685
applications for what they're doing?

132
00:05:05,685 --> 00:05:07,765
- Originally the science club was just

133
00:05:07,765 --> 00:05:08,805
because we didn't have a lot

134
00:05:08,805 --> 00:05:09,925
of activities at Cougar Mountain.

135
00:05:10,065 --> 00:05:11,885
It just kind of was like experiments

136
00:05:11,885 --> 00:05:13,005
and random things that we did,

137
00:05:13,005 --> 00:05:14,125
but it wasn't super meaningful.

138
00:05:14,125 --> 00:05:16,725
And then we just kind of fell
into a grant within the Squala

139
00:05:16,725 --> 00:05:18,325
River Education Project, they fund

140
00:05:18,325 --> 00:05:19,445
everything for the students.

141
00:05:19,505 --> 00:05:21,085
So it's a completely free club

142
00:05:21,665 --> 00:05:23,725
and it just allows them
to apply themselves

143
00:05:23,725 --> 00:05:25,565
to real world situations
where they can go out

144
00:05:25,565 --> 00:05:26,965
and be real cis and scientists

145
00:05:27,505 --> 00:05:29,685
and actually experience science out in the

146
00:05:29,685 --> 00:05:30,765
real world and in their community.

147
00:05:31,275 --> 00:05:32,525
It's more beneficial for them

148
00:05:32,635 --> 00:05:34,765
because they are able to actually see

149
00:05:35,185 --> 00:05:37,805
how they can impact their
local community instead

150
00:05:37,805 --> 00:05:40,125
of doing just work on
worksheets in the classroom

151
00:05:40,145 --> 00:05:42,045
and experiments that don't
really apply to their real life.

152
00:05:42,305 --> 00:05:45,365
- So Marcella, of all those
really cool projects I just

153
00:05:45,365 --> 00:05:47,245
listed off, I'm sure you've
been part of a lot of those.

154
00:05:47,505 --> 00:05:48,845
What's been your favorite so far?

155
00:05:48,845 --> 00:05:50,645
- Definitely planting the native garden.

156
00:05:50,835 --> 00:05:52,885
That was like a cool experience just

157
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:55,085
to have it right out there
and see it getting built.

158
00:05:55,145 --> 00:05:57,925
And then when I, I didn't get
to see it finally finished.

159
00:05:58,275 --> 00:06:00,005
When I saw it finally
finished I was like, yep,

160
00:06:00,005 --> 00:06:01,245
this is how it was supposed to look.

161
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:03,925
- For those who don't know
what a native garden is,

162
00:06:03,945 --> 00:06:05,125
can you explain a little bit what it is

163
00:06:05,125 --> 00:06:06,805
and what the process of
getting it started was?

164
00:06:07,065 --> 00:06:08,365
- So the first thing we had

165
00:06:08,365 --> 00:06:10,285
to do was pick out the native

166
00:06:10,285 --> 00:06:11,525
plants that we wanted to put in.

167
00:06:11,865 --> 00:06:15,245
So we would like search them
up on different websites

168
00:06:15,345 --> 00:06:17,285
and finally we narrowed it down

169
00:06:17,285 --> 00:06:18,645
to which ones we wanted to put in.

170
00:06:18,705 --> 00:06:21,045
Oh, and you also made recommendations for

171
00:06:21,195 --> 00:06:23,445
what plants you thought
would go well in the garden

172
00:06:23,555 --> 00:06:24,885
with other plants in there.

173
00:06:24,945 --> 00:06:27,045
So you couldn't like put like a plant

174
00:06:27,045 --> 00:06:28,645
that didn't cooperate well

175
00:06:28,645 --> 00:06:30,365
with this plant in the same planter box.

176
00:06:30,555 --> 00:06:31,645
- That sounds super interesting.

177
00:06:31,645 --> 00:06:34,685
So Edith, how long have you
been in the science club

178
00:06:34,905 --> 00:06:37,765
and what drew you originally to joining?

179
00:06:38,265 --> 00:06:40,845
- So I joined in my seventh
grade year at Cougar Mountain

180
00:06:41,585 --> 00:06:45,485
and what drew me in was most
of my friends were in the club.

181
00:06:45,825 --> 00:06:47,605
And so I thought it would
be like a good experience

182
00:06:47,605 --> 00:06:49,605
to like have to have more
time with my friends.

183
00:06:50,025 --> 00:06:51,405
But then I soon learned

184
00:06:51,405 --> 00:06:53,845
that it was more than just
hanging out with people.

185
00:06:54,065 --> 00:06:55,405
You actually had to do hard work

186
00:06:55,945 --> 00:06:58,525
and it like prepared you
for real life situations

187
00:06:58,715 --> 00:07:01,005
that would soon prepare you for real life.

188
00:07:01,385 --> 00:07:03,765
- And do you think either
of you have an interest in

189
00:07:04,005 --> 00:07:05,885
pursuing a career in the sciences

190
00:07:05,885 --> 00:07:07,485
or is this something that you're enjoying

191
00:07:07,745 --> 00:07:08,805
as a middle school student

192
00:07:08,805 --> 00:07:10,485
but you think you'll probably
pursue something else?

193
00:07:10,485 --> 00:07:11,485
Let's start with you Marcel.

194
00:07:12,075 --> 00:07:15,645
- I've had ideas of other
stuff to like go off of,

195
00:07:15,745 --> 00:07:17,485
but mostly I've come back to this

196
00:07:17,745 --> 00:07:20,685
and like other careers so I'm
kind of in the air about it.

197
00:07:20,985 --> 00:07:22,045
- And Edith, what about you?

198
00:07:22,065 --> 00:07:23,605
Is this, could you see yourself being a

199
00:07:23,605 --> 00:07:24,965
professional capacity scientist?

200
00:07:25,565 --> 00:07:27,565
- Honestly, not really, but
I feel like it would be fun

201
00:07:27,565 --> 00:07:28,645
to be a science teacher.

202
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:30,605
I've always thought about being a teacher

203
00:07:30,965 --> 00:07:32,925
'cause it's just kind of who I am.

204
00:07:33,585 --> 00:07:35,405
So I feel like that would be fun.

205
00:07:35,625 --> 00:07:37,885
But it's just, I'm kind

206
00:07:37,885 --> 00:07:39,165
of just living in the moment right now,

207
00:07:39,275 --> 00:07:40,965
just enjoying the time that I have

208
00:07:41,355 --> 00:07:42,355
- Yolo as the kids say.

209
00:07:42,355 --> 00:07:43,525
Yeah, <laugh>. Yeah. Uh,

210
00:07:43,525 --> 00:07:44,605
and you both got a chance

211
00:07:44,625 --> 00:07:48,165
to speak at the South Sound
Green Congress at Evergreen

212
00:07:48,165 --> 00:07:50,245
State University in Olympia?

213
00:07:50,245 --> 00:07:51,285
Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. What was that

214
00:07:51,285 --> 00:07:52,405
like? Was that nerve wracking

215
00:07:52,545 --> 00:07:53,545
- For her?

216
00:07:53,545 --> 00:07:55,245
It was for me it was
just like almost like a,

217
00:07:55,325 --> 00:07:56,445
I don't remember what day it was like,

218
00:07:56,505 --> 00:07:57,965
but it was just like a normal day to me.

219
00:07:58,125 --> 00:07:59,725
'cause I go up in front
of the whole school

220
00:07:59,725 --> 00:08:01,845
during assemblies and there
was a ton more kids at

221
00:08:01,845 --> 00:08:03,205
assemblies than there was there. So

222
00:08:03,205 --> 00:08:05,165
- E Edith it was, it was
tougher for you? Yeah,

223
00:08:05,165 --> 00:08:06,165
- Definitely.

224
00:08:06,165 --> 00:08:08,645
I mean I've gone in front
of the school before

225
00:08:08,905 --> 00:08:11,605
but I've never like been in
front of that many people

226
00:08:11,865 --> 00:08:13,405
and my knees were shaking the whole time.

227
00:08:13,595 --> 00:08:16,245
Even though we had a script,
it was still nerve wracking

228
00:08:16,445 --> 00:08:18,125
'cause like I had the stuff I had to say,

229
00:08:18,305 --> 00:08:20,245
but it was just like I
couldn't make eye contact

230
00:08:20,315 --> 00:08:21,965
with the crowd and I couldn't move.

231
00:08:22,065 --> 00:08:23,685
It was scary to me.

232
00:08:23,905 --> 00:08:27,365
- So Kim, how was it that these
two young women were given

233
00:08:27,425 --> 00:08:29,885
the opportunity to speak at
the South Sound Green Congress?

234
00:08:30,065 --> 00:08:32,285
- The Squala River Education
Project actually reached out

235
00:08:32,285 --> 00:08:34,765
to us and asked if I had
students that wanted to speak.

236
00:08:34,835 --> 00:08:36,605
They had just like had
a really good experience

237
00:08:36,605 --> 00:08:37,845
with our students being out in the field

238
00:08:38,385 --> 00:08:40,085
and our students have been very respectful

239
00:08:40,085 --> 00:08:41,845
and super involved and
passionate about what they do.

240
00:08:42,425 --> 00:08:45,725
And so of all the schools all
the way down to Olympia Lacey,

241
00:08:46,145 --> 00:08:47,325
um, into Pierce County

242
00:08:47,505 --> 00:08:49,125
and Thurston County, we were chosen

243
00:08:49,225 --> 00:08:51,845
to actually mc the entire
South Sound Green Congress,

244
00:08:51,845 --> 00:08:53,605
which is a pretty amazing thing.

245
00:08:53,625 --> 00:08:56,765
The girls were amazing and they
got up there with confidence

246
00:08:56,765 --> 00:08:57,805
and just represented us super

247
00:08:57,805 --> 00:08:58,805
- Well.

248
00:08:58,805 --> 00:08:59,525
Even as an outsider, I can see

249
00:08:59,555 --> 00:09:02,165
that this club is always
out on field trips.

250
00:09:02,225 --> 00:09:04,005
That's a lot of extra work for you.

251
00:09:04,355 --> 00:09:06,365
What makes you want to keep
doing this year after year?

252
00:09:06,485 --> 00:09:07,525
- I keep doing this year after year

253
00:09:07,525 --> 00:09:08,805
because it gives our kids opportunities,

254
00:09:08,875 --> 00:09:10,445
like opportunities that
they normally wouldn't have.

255
00:09:10,625 --> 00:09:12,965
We have students that haven't
left the Spanaway Graham area

256
00:09:13,425 --> 00:09:15,885
and they're able to go
experience, uh, different places

257
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:18,005
that they never would be
able to go to normally.

258
00:09:18,265 --> 00:09:19,925
- The other thing that I
noticed on your Facebook

259
00:09:19,925 --> 00:09:21,445
where I thought was really fascinating

260
00:09:21,445 --> 00:09:24,445
and really cool was you
guys studied aerodynamics

261
00:09:24,445 --> 00:09:27,125
and instead of doing that in
some really boring dry way

262
00:09:27,125 --> 00:09:29,725
with textbooks no, you
went indoor skydiving.

263
00:09:30,145 --> 00:09:31,965
Can you tell me about that
experience? Marcela, when

264
00:09:31,965 --> 00:09:33,965
- We went there it was like really nice,

265
00:09:34,065 --> 00:09:35,645
but when we actually got in the tube,

266
00:09:35,645 --> 00:09:37,365
they had certain like guidelines

267
00:09:37,365 --> 00:09:39,165
of stuff you could do and
stuff you couldn't do.

268
00:09:39,505 --> 00:09:41,125
And it was actually like pretty easy.

269
00:09:41,425 --> 00:09:42,565
You would think it would be hard, but

270
00:09:42,565 --> 00:09:43,645
it would, it was pretty easy.

271
00:09:43,705 --> 00:09:44,965
You just had to do certain things

272
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:46,485
and they tell you what you were

273
00:09:46,485 --> 00:09:47,685
doing wrong and you just fix them.

274
00:09:47,945 --> 00:09:50,565
- And Edith uh, nerves skydiving

275
00:09:50,785 --> 00:09:52,045
or speaking in front of people,

276
00:09:52,305 --> 00:09:53,405
- The nerves of skydiving.

277
00:09:53,595 --> 00:09:55,125
It's, it was terrifying to me.

278
00:09:55,365 --> 00:09:57,365
I thought I was gonna fall
through the net below us.

279
00:09:57,805 --> 00:09:59,285
I have a slight fear of heights,

280
00:09:59,465 --> 00:10:01,685
so it's like, I don't
know what's gonna happen.

281
00:10:02,125 --> 00:10:03,445
'cause like you're in this giant tube

282
00:10:03,705 --> 00:10:05,005
and you don't know if you're gonna fly up

283
00:10:05,065 --> 00:10:06,805
and fall into a wall or something.

284
00:10:07,185 --> 00:10:09,325
But it was, it was a good experience.

285
00:10:09,485 --> 00:10:11,725
I wouldn't do it again, but it was

286
00:10:11,725 --> 00:10:12,925
good for the time that we did it.

287
00:10:13,055 --> 00:10:14,085
- Check it off the bucket list

288
00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:15,285
now you don't have to do it anymore.

289
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:16,445
Edith, what about you? What,

290
00:10:16,445 --> 00:10:18,325
what's been your favorite
project that you've worked on?

291
00:10:18,435 --> 00:10:19,605
- Well, there were definitely a lot.

292
00:10:19,845 --> 00:10:21,885
I enjoyed all of the projects that we did,

293
00:10:22,105 --> 00:10:25,005
but probably my favorite was

294
00:10:25,525 --> 00:10:26,805
probably doing the water quality testing.

295
00:10:27,145 --> 00:10:29,005
It was just, it was so different.

296
00:10:29,005 --> 00:10:30,405
It was such a different experience

297
00:10:30,625 --> 00:10:32,125
and the fact that you got

298
00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:35,325
to see the chemical change
in the water you were using,

299
00:10:35,425 --> 00:10:36,605
it was just so fascinating.

300
00:10:36,835 --> 00:10:39,765
- Very cool. This show is
gonna be our Halloween episode

301
00:10:39,865 --> 00:10:43,245
and so this week we're talking
favorite Halloween costumes

302
00:10:43,245 --> 00:10:44,245
that you've ever worn.

303
00:10:44,505 --> 00:10:46,205
So I'm gonna go around the horn here

304
00:10:46,745 --> 00:10:48,685
and, uh, <laugh> Kim,
you're not off the hook

305
00:10:48,685 --> 00:10:51,445
because I know you probably
wore some cool ones in your day.

306
00:10:51,465 --> 00:10:55,285
So what was your favorite
Halloween costume of all time?

307
00:10:55,585 --> 00:10:59,125
- Uh, well my mom continually
put me in a vampire outfit

308
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:00,125
for probably about five years.

309
00:11:00,395 --> 00:11:02,285
Some traumatized from that, but, um,

310
00:11:02,285 --> 00:11:06,765
my favorite costume was a full
size terrifying 1980s style

311
00:11:07,025 --> 00:11:09,565
Easter bunny outfit with gray out eyes

312
00:11:10,035 --> 00:11:11,765
that I wore many times throughout my life

313
00:11:11,765 --> 00:11:12,845
just to scare people on purpose.

314
00:11:13,225 --> 00:11:16,285
- Wow, that sounds like the
stuff of nightmares. Oh yeah.

315
00:11:16,305 --> 00:11:18,365
Uh, Marcel, what about you?
You, I'm sure you haven't had

316
00:11:18,365 --> 00:11:20,885
as many as as us, but what's
your favorite all time

317
00:11:20,885 --> 00:11:22,445
Halloween costume that you ever worn?

318
00:11:22,545 --> 00:11:24,925
- Um, my favorite has to be
when I was really little,

319
00:11:25,205 --> 00:11:27,125
I was really obsessed
with the Wizard of Oz.

320
00:11:27,545 --> 00:11:30,525
So I would always wear every year Dorothy

321
00:11:30,715 --> 00:11:33,085
with like a little basket
that had toto in it

322
00:11:33,085 --> 00:11:34,685
and it, I would just walk around and trick

323
00:11:34,685 --> 00:11:35,685
or cheat with that little basket.

324
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:37,045
- That's awesome. What about you Edith?

325
00:11:37,105 --> 00:11:39,165
- So my mom used to
make my costume humming

326
00:11:39,625 --> 00:11:42,685
and so probably my favorite
was when I was like five.

327
00:11:43,025 --> 00:11:45,485
She made me like a Scarecrow outfit.

328
00:11:45,785 --> 00:11:47,125
So I had like a dress

329
00:11:47,125 --> 00:11:49,445
that was made outta like the
tool fabric that's like kind

330
00:11:49,445 --> 00:11:51,405
of meshy and it was all glittery

331
00:11:51,465 --> 00:11:55,765
and then I had like a fake
nose and then a straw hat

332
00:11:55,785 --> 00:11:57,765
and that was super fun
and my brother and I were

333
00:11:58,005 --> 00:12:00,605
- Matching and so you, you
had almost half the cast

334
00:12:00,665 --> 00:12:02,405
of Wizard of Oz there too <laugh>, so that

335
00:12:02,405 --> 00:12:04,285
that's you needed the Tin Man
and you would've been all set.

336
00:12:04,285 --> 00:12:05,765
Yeah. Well thank you all
so much for joining us.

337
00:12:05,765 --> 00:12:07,405
It's been great to hear
about this awesome club

338
00:12:07,405 --> 00:12:08,485
and good luck the rest of the year.

339
00:12:11,645 --> 00:12:13,245
- I love hearing from
the students out there.

340
00:12:13,245 --> 00:12:15,045
It sounds like they're
doing some amazing stuff.

341
00:12:15,095 --> 00:12:16,405
Thank you to everyone listening

342
00:12:16,405 --> 00:12:18,965
to our Spooktacular Halloween episode.

343
00:12:19,355 --> 00:12:21,285
- Doug, let me stop you there real quick

344
00:12:21,565 --> 00:12:23,285
'cause we have had some complaints about

345
00:12:23,285 --> 00:12:24,405
your punting really?

346
00:12:24,875 --> 00:12:27,365
Yeah, unfortunately we
actually got a review on Apple

347
00:12:27,645 --> 00:12:30,965
podcasts from none other
than cold-blooded Lord

348
00:12:31,225 --> 00:12:33,645
who in AEs scathing
takedown of our podcast

349
00:12:34,245 --> 00:12:36,525
entitled too many puns said,

350
00:12:36,785 --> 00:12:39,485
and I quote, y'all should stop the puns

351
00:12:39,505 --> 00:12:43,125
and actually talk about things
kids like kill it with fire.

352
00:12:43,675 --> 00:12:46,405
Also, why so boring? Talk with emotion.

353
00:12:47,135 --> 00:12:49,005
Y'all need some decency?

354
00:12:49,475 --> 00:12:51,525
- Ouch y'all. That's some vitriol,

355
00:12:51,525 --> 00:12:52,885
but we're gonna move right through it

356
00:12:52,885 --> 00:12:56,045
because I got some positive
feedback just the other day.

357
00:12:56,235 --> 00:13:00,245
This is in regards to our show
about postgraduate success.

358
00:13:00,695 --> 00:13:03,725
Quote. I continued the podcast
in the car on my way to work

359
00:13:03,755 --> 00:13:04,965
with my ninth grader.

360
00:13:05,065 --> 00:13:07,685
It was perfect because we
listened to all the things.

361
00:13:07,875 --> 00:13:11,165
Join the clubs, join the groups,
try the classes, find out

362
00:13:11,165 --> 00:13:13,165
what you don't like now
while you can, it was

363
00:13:13,185 --> 00:13:14,285
so perfectly timed.

364
00:13:14,475 --> 00:13:16,685
He's only ninth, but very academic focused

365
00:13:16,905 --> 00:13:19,365
and college conversations
most definitely have been

366
00:13:19,365 --> 00:13:20,525
going on for a while.

367
00:13:20,785 --> 00:13:21,845
And he was listening

368
00:13:21,985 --> 00:13:24,765
to this unintentional Ted Talk end quote.

369
00:13:25,145 --> 00:13:27,045
- So take that cold-blooded Lord.

370
00:13:27,045 --> 00:13:30,125
And by the way, that's not
the only good review we got on

371
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:32,165
the very same Apple podcast website.

372
00:13:32,165 --> 00:13:35,845
We got another review
from Cat ka ka cat cat two

373
00:13:36,385 --> 00:13:40,965
who had this to say mids mid
that ever mid destroy it.

374
00:13:41,885 --> 00:13:43,805
- Connor, that sounds
like another bad review.

375
00:13:44,065 --> 00:13:46,405
- No, no, no. You just don't
know the way kids talk.

376
00:13:46,585 --> 00:13:47,925
That's actually a really good review

377
00:13:48,145 --> 00:13:49,605
- And that's why I'm
glad you're on the show

378
00:13:49,605 --> 00:13:50,925
to point these things out to me.

379
00:13:51,105 --> 00:13:52,245
If you wanna leave us a review,

380
00:13:52,525 --> 00:13:54,565
apparently you can do
it on Apple Podcasts,

381
00:13:54,565 --> 00:13:55,645
I'm sure other places too.

382
00:13:55,705 --> 00:13:59,405
You can also email us at
communications@bethellisty.org.

383
00:13:59,645 --> 00:14:00,765
Connor, it's been a blast today.

384
00:14:00,765 --> 00:14:02,605
Happy Halloween. I'll see you next week.

385
00:14:02,945 --> 00:14:04,925
- You better believe it. <laugh>.

386
00:14:05,575 --> 00:14:06,485
- There we go. Okay.
