Hi guys, welcome back to anything goes podcast. I hope you guys are all having an amazing day per usual. I think it's a little bit, well, okay. I'm, it's, how do I explain this? LA is kind of hell right now a little bit, because it's raining, it's dark, it's literally dark. Like, I woke up this morning at 10 a.m. and I thought it was five in the morning because it's literally dark. Like, I woke up this morning at 10 a.m. and I thought it was five in the morning

because it's so dark, which makes me a little bit sad. Not only that, but of course, everything going on with coronavirus, so that's, of course, upsetting. So, you know, things are a little bit rough around the edges right now. And I wanted to, like, talk about something kind of serious today,

but then I was like, we just don't need that. We need something to make us smile a little bit. We all kind of need to... at least enjoy, like, at least in hour of our day, right? Like, I'm sick of all the sad shit, okay? Let's just write up fun for at least an hour. So that's what we're doing today, and I'm gonna tell some embarrassing high school stories.

A few of these I think I've told before, but also maybe not. So I'm excited to tell these stories. My high school experience was probably more boring than most of your guys' because I went to all girls' school, and I was basically just a big fat I was just a big weeny. Yeah, I just didn't really have a lot of fun in high school I didn't really do much. I was pretty boring. So you know, my story is mine

I'll be the best, but I'm gonna work with what I have. I think I still have a few funny ones in there. So the first story I think is probably the most embarrassing to me. Wait, honestly, they're all pretty fucking embarrassing. So this is about on par. So, so I'll set the scene for you. Sophomore Year. I was trying to find out who I was.

If you listen to my podcast about relationships, I kind of talked about this one relationship I had Sophomore Year with this dude. I kind of like about this one relationship I had sophomore year with this dude. I kind of like touched on it. And how like I used to kind of try to convince myself that I liked guys so that I could try to get a boyfriend if that made sense. Probably not the best strategy. Maybe, maybe don't do that. Maybe follow your heart instead.

But sophomore year Emma was very desperate to find a man's. So she was on that wave, it's okay, we're not gonna judge her, she was just going through it. Well, when me and this kid first started talking, I'm gonna change his name, I'm gonna change it to Ralph, okay? So when me and Ralph first started talking, like we were friends before for a while and he would like, he was dating other girls and stuff

and I really liked him, right? And we were friends throughout all that. Finally, he's single, I'm like my time to shine. And I guess we just started like texting each other more or whatever. And of course, you know, softenerier, I must, you wanted to be a bad bitch, you wanted to be cool. So she would leave him on red for like, well, actually, no, leave him on delivered.

Sorry. So he would text me. I read the text and I wouldn't respond for like two hours so that I could seem cool. As one does, okay. And it was fine because he didn't know that I read the text because I didn't have my red receipts on. So it just would say delivered until I responded He had no idea But I was seeming cool, you know acting like I was doing shit. I mean as far as Ralph knew I

Could have been talking to seven other dudes fucking Out of trampoline park. I could have been Eating dinner like he has no idea, right? I could have been eating dinner. Like he has no idea, right? But I was actually just laying in my bed counting down two hours to respond. That is what I was doing. Anyways, so I talked to this kid Ralph

for like probably a few weeks to a few months. I mean, maybe he was like two months. Let's say two months. We like talked for a little bit and then he like said that he liked me so then we kind of just immediately started dating, very awkward, very uncomfortable. Mind you this whole time,

I'm just like leaving him on delivered for like hours on end. But I would actually read the message though. But this whole time, every single time he texts me, I would wait like two hours to respond. Kind of being a fuck girl a little bit, but you know, whatever. Okay, fast forward.

Me and this kid Ralph stopped talking. It ended up not working out. I ended up shit with him because I just didn't like him like that and whatever, we stopped talking. Okay, fast forward. A few like, I don't know, maybe a few months later, I'm texting with my friend and she was like, it's so weird that you have your red receipts on. And I was like, I have my red receipts on. She was like, yeah, you have your red receipts

on. Like I can see when you read my text. And I was like, how long has it been like that? She was like, since I've known you like for a year. And I was like, how long has it been like that? She was like, since I've known you for a year, and I was like, show me right fucking now. She sends me a screenshot. In fact, my red receipts had been on for probably a year. Mind you, my mind immediately returns to my time with Ralph when I would leave him on red for like three hours and now it all makes sense that he would see me leave him on red for three hours. I was not being

slick, I was not being the fuck girl I wanted to be. In fact, I was completely being clown emoji. Just complete clown emoji, that was me. I cried. I literally cried. I was like, I am so fucking mortified. I've been leaving this kid on red and other boys, cause I only do that with boys. I don't know what I was going through at the time. Let's not judge me, okay?

I'm judging me a little bit, but you can't. It's not fair. You probably have at the time. Let's not judge me, okay? I'm judging me a little bit, but you can't. It's not fair. You probably have done the same thing. Probably not, actually. Maybe. Anyway. Oh my God, I was just leaving these boys on red. For months.

Anyway, so now I check literally once a week to make sure that my red receipts are off. And that was my first story. It probably seems like so insignificant, but that shit was super fucking embarrassing to me. You have to imagine being me. Put yourself in my shoes for a second and think about if that was you, you would be very upset.

Okay, moving on. That was a fun one though. I like that story. It's embarrassing, but it's funny. Okay, next story is a period story, so all the boys skip a few minutes. You probably don't wanna hear this, you'll probably vomit, whatever, whatever. Okay, so I want you a football game

with all my homies, you know, guys and girls both. Afterwards we went to In and Out because if you grow up in California, you know, post-football game, you go to In and Out. It's just what you do. You don't question it. Everybody knows the drill period. So we're all in and out. And if you've never been to an In and out, basically the seats are all like white acrylic.

So it's like, it's like white plastic seats. So I'm sitting in the booth with all my friends, whatever, we're like sitting there, where I couldn't eat anything I didn't know, because I'm a fucking vegetarian, but I would hang out with my friends anyway, because I just wanted to be included, okay? And as we're getting out,

I'm sliding out of the booth, right? And I looked down under the white seat, blood smeared all over the white booth, completely, it's because like I was sitting closest to the wall, so in order to get out of the booth, I had to slide all the way out of the booth, right? My blood, sorry, this is so gross. But like whatever, like fuck it, enjoy it.

I was like, oh my God, what do I do? I can't cover it. Like how do I, like I didn't know what to do. I was like, how do I cover this up? And we were leaving and like everybody was walking away and I was like, and then one dude, his name was Jake, how do I cover this up? And we were leaving and everybody was walking away and I was like, and then one dude, his name was Jake, actually. I'll say his name cause it's non-bearersing.

Actually, it's non-bearersing for him and it is for me. Jake was like, dude, what's that? And I was like, I don't know, I don't know. I don't want to clean it though, walk away, walk away. I was like, I think it's like, I think it's saddened for a punch and then I like dragged it. And he was like, oh yeah, that makes sense. He had no fucking idea. I don't even knew what a punch and then I like dragged it and he was like, oh yeah, that makes sense. He had no fucking idea.

I don't even know what a period was at that point. Literally. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's what it is. But like, let's go, let's go. Because we don't want to clean it, right? Because we're savage teenagers. We don't want to clean anything up. Because what's cleaning, I don't know what that is.

I don't even know what a fucking, no, yeah, we need to go. Oh my God, the ubers here, the ubers here. Oh God, we have to go. It was in fact my menstruation in the in-an-out seat. And I do feel really bad because I did not clean it myself and in retrospect, that's really fucked up. And now, if I bled anywhere, like if I did, if that ever happened to me again,

which I hope it wouldn't, but anything's possible, I wouldn't care, to be honest. Like, I'm so happy that I've evolved as a human being and I could be like, yes, that is my blood. Sorry, but like, when you're in high school, you don't want anybody to know that you're a human who poops, you know, burps, like you're supposed to be perfect when you're in high school.

So that's how I felt anyway. I was like, nobody was allowed to know that I had my period. Like that was like off limits. I don't know why that is. Like people get are so weird about bodily functions when they're young. And then as you grow up, you just get over it. But I wonder why that is.

Anyway, like if I have a booger in my nose now, I'm like, oh, word, like help guide my finger into my nose and help me, you know what I mean? But when you're younger, it's like, oh my god, like, help guide my finger into my nose and help. Like, you know what I mean? But when you're younger, it's like, oh my god, I had a booker. Oh, oh my god. Like, whatever, it's so weird. Anyway, so that was that story.

Nobody actually knew that it was my blood because I covered the story so well. But that was really embarrassing. So, hope you enjoyed that one. This episode is brought to you by Squarespace.

And I think I've actually told this one before, but I'm telling it again because I don't know if I told it on my YouTube or maybe even on a podcast episode, but I'm telling it again, because I don't know if I told them my YouTube or maybe even on a podcast episode, but I'm telling it again,

because I just think it's a goodie. All right, so I was in math class and I'm sitting on my desk and we were all doing like, work sheets, whatever, just whatever. And in my school, we were allowed to have our computers out and we could like listen to music if we wanted during individual work. And so I was listening to music on my computer.

In fact, I was actually listening to Space Song by B. Chow. I remember exactly what song it was because this experience was so traumatizing for me. And some work on this worksheet. And I have the music blasting in my ears. I mean, like so fucking loud. Like, almost hurting my ears how loud I was playing it, because I love that song so much. And I'm working on the worksheet, whatever.

And all of a sudden, I hear people start giggling. And I look up for a second, and I didn't really see anything, and I was like, okay. And then it kind of kept happening, and then I started to feel eyes on me. So I look up and I'm like, can I take my headphones out? And everyone's looking at me

and I literally paused for like probably 20 seconds and I'm like looking around just trying to figure out what I'm missing. I like look down at myself. I'm like, do I have a fucking like bugger on my face? Whatever. I was like, can I help you all? Everybody's looking at me in the whole room.

In mind, you know, I was kind of a savage in high school. I was like, can I help you guys? Everybody's looking at me in the whole room. In mind, I was kind of a savage in high school. I was like, can I help you guys? Like what's going on? And they were like, you're humming so loud. And I was like humming? No, I'm not. And they were like, yeah, you've literally been like singing. And I was like, okay, great.

Well, it's great how you guys aren't gonna see me at school tomorrow because I'm actually transferring now. I'm actually never gonna come back again. So that was awful. Thank God, thank God I went to all girls school. Oh, if I went to a school with guys, I would have lost my fucking mind, especially at that point in my life where I was like,

you know, you're in high school and you just like want a boyfriend so bad and like whatever. It's like the thought of being in Paris in front of a dude is a nightmare. Whereas in front of a bunch of girls, it sucks, but it's like, for me, it's just not as intimidating. I'm not trying to impress anyone, so it was fine. Like, to give you some context at my school,

no one shaved their legs. Like, nobody ever like brushed their hair. Like, we literally showed up to school, looking like shit, did our school work, did homework, did sports and went to bed. And then on the weekends it was time to like put ourselves back into make ourselves look normal again. But like not even like that needs to be normal.

That's kind of actually unfair societal standard. You know, like whatever it's normal, you feel comfortable. But, you know, we'd make ourselves look more put together when it was the weekend, but during the week we were not looking so hot. And then every time there was like events at the boys school, because you know, when you have a there's a girl school, there's a guy school too, and they do events together, like promen's shit, and like homecoming or whatever. We'd like show up to their school looking so scary. Like I would look like I got put in a blender

and that's probably why I didn't have a successful high school boyfriend so oh my god. So the school I went to again all girls so there's an all guy's school. I don't want to say the name of it because I feel like I would get sued for that somehow in some way, possibly. So I'm gonna call it boy school, okay we're just gonna call boy school. So there's always football games and basketball games and all that stuff at this boy school. And all of us would go to it because, you know,

we wanted to have the high school experience and it was fun or whatever. So, everybody would always wear the boy's schools merch to these games, of course. A lot of the girls at my school either had some of the school's merch from their boy friends or their older brothers or their younger brothers or like they're really close guy friends.

But for me, I didn't really have any of those connections, right? I didn't really have a lot of guy friends at the time. None of them had crushes on me, that's for damn sure, and that's definitely why I didn't have a hoodie. So I never had like any of the merch to wear to these games. So my ass thought it was a great idea to go onto their website and order a hoodie

because I felt left out that I was the only friend that didn't have merch for this school. Well when I was on the website I was like oh my god you can customize a hoodie that's so dope. I'm gonna do that. So I customized myself a boy's school hoodie. Great idea, right? Well, it wasn't because I showed up to a game in it and everyone was like, why do you have a custom hoodie? And I was like, oh, I don't know. I don't know. Like, I just have it. Like, I don't know. And they were like, did you customize that yourself? And I'm like, no. And they're like, well, who's the size extra small at our school? They could fit into that hoodie.

And I was like, oh. Yeah, I fucking went on the website and customized it for myself because then the assholes would give me one of yours. Not my fault. What do you want me to do? Go to the loss and found and get one that smells like socks? I mean, I could have done that. But I didn't.

I fucking ordered a custom one for like 60 bucks. Why did I do that? Stupid bitch. I was a like socks. I mean, I could have done that, but I didn't, I fucking ordered a custom one for like 60 bucks. Why did I do that? Stupid bitch, I was a stupid bitch and I embarrassed myself and I was trying to be, I, all of these stories are because I tried to be cool, except for the one where I hummed in math class. That was just a fluke mistake, but like, and the period blood one.

Actually, no, I could have made that one funny if I would have handled it correctly. So yeah, me trying to be cool in high school was a mess as you can tell. I ended up never getting my own boy school hoodie from a guy like I never got that. So I guess I just ended up wearing normal clothes and I just didn't fit in.

And nobody knew whose team I was rooting for and it was upsetting, but it was honestly their fault. Okay, this is just stupid. This story is so stupid. I hate this story, but I was talking to my mom today about like any stories that she remembered about me in high school, and she brought this one up, and I just kind of was like, okay, so, God, this is so stupid. Oh, this hurts, okay. So, there's not a lot of parties, high school parties,

in my hometown, I feel like it was always a bust. Like, we just never ended up having fun. Like, we could never get the right group of kids together. Like, half the time I wasn't invited to parties because it was like the public school would have parties and I went to private school, we wouldn't get invited because we weren't cool enough or whatever. So there was a lot of a lot of that going on.

So it rarely ever happened, but one time we had this amazing party with our two schools, the guy school and the girl school together and it was like the funnest party we ever had. I remember for the rest of high school, at least the time I was there, we always talked about that one party because it was just so fun. And for some reason, I thought it would be funny to give myself a hickey on my shoulder and make it as big as I could, like as large, what the fuck, why, why did I do this?

Okay, okay, I'm gonna calm down. Okay. I don't know what the thought process was, but basically I start giving myself a hikki on my shoulder. Everybody was like, thought it was funny, because it was getting huge, okay? Like ginormous. Okay, and everyone thought it was so funny,

but like, make it bigger, make it bigger. And I'm like, all right, all right. So I gave myself this Hakey on my shoulder. It literally was like the size of a lighter. Like think of like a lighter, like a big lighter. It was like, or even one of those Zippo lighters. It was like the size of that. I don't know why I'm using a lighter as an example,

but like that's the only thing I can think of. That's that, it's shaped exactly like that. It was huge. No, it was probably bigger than that actually. Anyway, it was huge. Thought that that was hella funny, and it was all fun and games, right? It was.

It was funny until it didn't go away for like a month and a half. So I just had this massive hiki on my shoulder, but luckily because hikis don't normally go on shoulders, nobody knew that. They just thought it was a bruise. Good job, Emma, you fucking idiot. Like why would you do that?

Next story, this story is a little bit, this is like kind of embarrassing, but like I kind of think it's funny and I think I even thought it was funny in the moment, but it's still a good story. So I used to do track, sophomore year I did track, and it was my first year ever running. Like, I'd never done anything running sport before, so I was not super experienced. And after kind of training for a little bit, they decided that I would be really good at

hurdles, because I'm really flexible, and I can jump pretty high for no apparent reason. I think it was because I was a cheerleader. So like, if you actually think about it, doing hurdles, do people even know what hurdles are? I don't think I even knew what hurdles were before I learned how to do it. Basically, in case you don't know, it's a track event where basically you run over, you hop, you run as fast as you can, and then you do this specific leap in a sense

over a raised hurdle. And it's fucking hard. And it's weird that it even exists. It's probably the weirdest sport I've ever heard. I'm like, it's the weirdest track event, in my opinion, because it's so odd, but I actually fucking loved it. And I got really good at it really quickly. I mean, not like the best, but like, it just came to me really naturally and I tend to

be the type of person where if something comes to me naturally, at least a little bit, then I'm super motivated. Whereas if I just start and I don't even have a head start at all, I tend to give up, which is kind of fucked up. Maybe should speak to my therapist about that. But yeah, hurdles was amazing. I really fell in love with it. But basically there's two events that I would run.

There was a hundred hurdles, which is basically like, if you're looking at a track, right, like a high school track, it's like one fourth of that track. So you run that. It's very short, whatever. And then the other event is 300 hurdles, which is three fourths of a track, okay? So imagine this, imagine running three fourths of a track

while jumping over hurdles, okay? And going as fast as you fucking can, it's not like you're spacing things out, you're going for it the whole time, you're sprinting the whole time. Bitch, let me fucking tell you, that was not chill. That event was not chill at all, okay? Hundred hurdles, absolutely.

I got first a few times in JV, that's okay though, because it's still winning, just not in varsity, but I was also not that good, but I still got first a few times, but in JV though, but 100 hurdles was great. I enjoyed that journey, okay? 300 hurdles never went well for me. Now let me tell you, one time I was racing,

actually at the school that's funny. James Franco went to the high school that I was running the track meet at. So fun fact. Anyways, I'm running and I'm at the last two hurdles, right? Second to last hurdle, I accidentally jump off the wrong foot. My back foot gets caught on the hurdle, and I eat shit. My foot gets caught on it. I roll forward, and I was like,

oh shit, that's so fucking embarrassing. But I got up and I kept running, and I actually placed second to last. I still didn't get last. So I don't know if I should feel like a savage, or if I should just be embarrassed that I tripped. But the best part is that that didn't happen just once, So I don't know if I should feel like a savage, or if I should just be embarrassed that I tripped. But the best part is that that didn't happen just once,

that actually happened twice, except the second time was a little bit different. So I was running 300 hurdles again, and I'm coming down the home stretch. I actually have a video of this on my Twitter, so if you can find it, you're the CEO of finding things on my Twitter. I was running, and it was like, I think it was the second to last or the CEO of Finding Things on my Twitter. I was running and it was like,

I think it was the second to last for the last hurdle. I don't know what went through my mind, but I ran around the hurdle. Like it came up on me so quickly. So like I didn't, I kind of zoned out and I forgot that I was like doing hurdles and I thought that I had run over my last hurdle but I still had one more and I didn't see it so then I just ran around it

because I was on the end so I could just run I got disqualified but I think it's a funny story to tell go find that video on my Twitter anyway those are all my embarrassing high school stories I feel like that's all I have I hope hope you enjoyed those. I hope they're relatively funny or entertaining. Hopefully took your mind off the fact that the world feels like it's crumbling. Um, this episode is brought to you by Vital Farms.

Now I'm going to go on the Twitter real quick and answer some questions that you guys had for me about high school or just anything you want to me to discuss about high school. First question was going to a Catholic school influential over your personal beliefs or opinions. That's a great question.

So I actually went to Catholic school as a non-religious person. I found it super interesting to learn about for sure, but it definitely didn't really change my opinions on my own spirituality and what that is to me and Whatever I've kind of always had my own Belief system in a weird way and it not really necessarily match up with any specific religion or belief system But like it's my own kind of thing, but I'm definitely a spiritual person and I definitely believe in

Different kinds of things. I almost feel like I pull the parts of different religions that make sense to me and have my own belief system in my head, if that makes sense. Like I literally have different little things from everywhere that I believe in. Like I believe in karma. And like if, you know what I mean? So it's, I mix and match, I guess.

But I think that school is kind of like going to school and learning about religion, strictly about Catholicism, was like, I might not necessarily be a Catholic person, but I can appreciate some of the things that they believe in, like some of the moral lessons. I think some of them are really useful. Like, you know, some of the stories I thought were actually very meaningful for anybody, you know what I mean? And some didn't necessarily resonate with me or some I didn't agree with,

but I also don't judge. You know what I mean? So anyway, that was that what groups last stereotype did you hang out with in high school? I was kind of the type of person where I was kind of homies with everybody or at least tried my best. I feel like I would talk to anybody and be friends with everybody. But at my school, I feel like I would talk to anybody and be friends with everybody. But at my school, I don't really feel like there was as much of a stereotype thing because there was no guys, it was all girls, it was very chill.

But I do think that the friend group that I tended to hang out with was probably more of the, I mean, I guess in a sense they were kind of the popular kids, but I didn't really like to look at it like that. And I didn't really necessarily fit in in the group personally to be completely honest. I tried my best, but it wasn't the best fit for me in retrospect and whatever, but yeah,

that was like my main friend group. But I actually ended up splitting off and hanging out with, like I would split off into small groups within the big group and kind of make my own little mini groups. And so I didn't really have a, you get what I'm saying here. Okay, next. Are you upset that you didn't get to go to some high school events, examples, prom and graduation?

Weirdly no. I did expect to feel sad about it, but actually no. Sometimes I do, like, once every blue moon, but honestly no, because I am really grateful for my life and the way that it panned out and I wouldn't want it any other way. And to be honest, I would have fucking hated going to prom anyway, and then I probably wouldn't have had a date. So, do you think it's next question? Do you think it's disrespectful when people call you a dropout?

I mean, to be honest, I don't really get offended very easily. So, if somebody wants to call me a dropout and like ruffle my feathers, go for it, that's fine. I call myself a dropout as a joke sometimes. I'm not, but I mean, it can kind of suck. I think the reason why it sucks the most is because I was a good student and I worked really hard at school

and it was like something that was really important to me at the time. And like, somebody calling you a dropout can kind of make you feel like, oh well, all that work was for nothing. Now I'm just being called a dropout for like getting straight A's my entire life. You know what I mean? That kind of can blow because it makes you feel like all your work went for nothing. Now I'm just being called a dropout for like getting straight A's my entire life. You know what I mean?

That kind of can blow because it makes you feel like all your work went to shit. But at the same time, I know that I worked really hard at school and I know why I left school and I know that I technically completed high school. And so people can kind of say what they want and yeah, it might be disrespectful, but I'm not gonna get offended. but I'm not going to get offended.

I try my best not to get offended. My favorite subject, that's kind of an innocent question. My favorite subject was science. I loved biology a lot. It was really, for some reason, really good at biology. I don't know why. I just killed that shit. All right, next high school question.

Somebody asked me if they should bring their loan lunch or you'd have the cafeteria. I'm assuming that you are not in high school yet, so you're going to be there soon because you'd probably know whether or not this food at your school is good or not. If you, you know what I mean? Then you could decide based on that.

Well, let me tell you, I've never liked a school lunch. All right, I've never fucking liked it. It's nasty. I feel like there's just germs everywhere. I would say bring your own lunch, although at my private school, the second year I was there, they provided lunch because it was part of our tuition. So we just got to eat for free and the food was like, I mean, it was all right, but like, it was good in the beginning when like they first went like in the beginning of the year

and then they just started getting lazy and then it tasted like shit. So and the lines were really long. I think bringing your own lunch is kind of the move and like it's also a lot healthier. Like you know what's going into that shit. But I also think that if your school has good school lunches and it's like affordable or whatever, then do that. Follow your heart, babe. That's on you. Next question, have you ever cried because you've gotten a bad grade? Fuck yeah. Yes? Like a thousand times.

I would get so upset with myself. I've cried in the bathroom over grades. And for what? For me to just be called a fucking dropout? Damn it, I wish I wouldn't have known. Last question about school. What do you miss most about it? Actually, nothing.

So anyways, that's actually nothing. I literally don't miss anything about high school. There's really nothing I miss about it. And in a way that people that say high school is the best year of your life, they cap and yell, that shit sucked. It was not fun at all. Like, I was like insecure, depressed, stressed out,

lost, conforming to what everybody else was doing, making stupid decisions, like talking to guys I didn't like, being friends with people that didn't understand me. Like, what is fun about that, dude? Nothing. It was awful. So, so fuck that shit.

I'm gonna answer one more question about high school, and then we're gonna get to some of the voicemails. I kinda wanna answer some random voicemails because you guys have left some really funny ones that don't necessarily relate to the topic, but I think it'd be fun to answer some of those and talk about some of those. So we'll do that, but one more question.

Is it harder to meet good friends in high school rather than in real life? It's so much easier to make friends in real life. Oh my god, it's so much easier. I mean, I think it might be a little bit tougher at first because you have to kind of figure out where you want to insert yourself to make new friends, whether that's like, you know, for me, like, I go to soul cycle all the time. So like, I've met a lot of friends through Soul Cycle or, um, through, like, hanging out at certain places where I know other people hang out, like, you have to figure out, in the real world, you have to kind of take initiative and figure out where you're going to meet these

people, which can be kind of tough. But then once you're there, it's way easier. Whereas in school, you have such a small group of people to pull from, and it's not like you can escape somebody. So let's say you meet somebody and you don't really end up liking them very much. You don't vibe. You have to see them every day for the rest of the school year.

Like that makes it really tough. So I think the real world is easier. Actually, do you know what? I kind of retract my statement. I think it's easier to make friends in school because there's so many people around every day that you see every day, but it's hard to have healthy relationships in school

because if anything goes wrong, or you don't end up liking them, or you end up seeing them too much, then it goes all wrong at school, whereas in real life, you can maintain a healthy relationship because there's not that commitment of seeing somebody every single day. Let's get into voicemails, baby. Also, by the way, if you didn't know, we have a voicemail kind of system going on where you can call 5, 6, 7, ask Emma,

and you can ask me questions that I might answer on the podcast. I usually tweet the topics every week, like what topic I'm gonna be talking about at AG podcast. So, do follow AG podcast on Twitter if you wanna be up to date on what the topic's gonna be. And then if you want your voice in the podcast, you call 5, 6, 7, ask Emma and we might answer it. But anyway, let's actually get to it and answer some. Hi, Emma.

So I have a question for you. I'm having boy trouble and it's actually my ex who I want to get back with. I broke up with him and I regret it. So I hope if you have any advice, thanks. I wish I could just be a relationship therapist as my whole career, to be honest. I would love to be a relationship therapist and orthorepist in general. That's like probably my dream job now, like if I wasn't a YouTuber. It's last podcast or so,

it's whatever the fuck I do every day, but I totally got you. So, first thing is I want you to really think right now about the long-term potential issues you could cause by getting back together with this dude. Because before you even, like, you might think right now, yes, I want to get back together with him. I miss him.

This isn't that. But why did you break up with him in the first place? And will that issue reoccurve you get back together with him? Because then you're just going to end up right here over again. And I'm not going to lie to you. The second that you start talking to somebody again, or you get back together with somebody, it's like you kind of start over the whole pain process, right? So you're already on the way to healing right now, healing, getting over this dude, moving on, moving forward. You've already taken those steps to get to where you are.

You're like, you have some time under your belt. The second that you start dating, this kid again, all of that goes away and you're on a fresh slate. So consider that and consider like, do you want to go through this again? If you broke up with him for a reason that you genuinely think is invalid, like you are like, I made a mistake, I broke up with you for something that was stupid. I really regret that, whatever. I struggled to believe that that would actually be true.

I think that if you break up with somebody, deep down there's an element of truth to why you did it, right? And I think being true to yourself about that is so important in trying to stand your ground as long as possible. But because your question was asking me, how do you get back with him? I'm telling you, I don't necessarily advise it, but I also understand because I've been there.

So I'd say you should just start hanging out with him again as friends, see how things feel. Be like, hey, I just wanna hang out with you as friends. Like, let's just keep it at that for now. You guys hang out a few times. You'll end up getting back together. It just happens. I'm sorry, I can't even explain the math of it,

but like, if you guys have a true connection, you'll hang out as friends and you guys will both be like, ew, this sucks ass, and then you get back together. People are not that strong, I mean, I'm not even strong. It's like, who doesn't wanna get back with the next every once in a while? You know, also if you broke up with him, Loki, he probably wants to get back together with you too,

but his homies are probably like, no, don't get back with her, like she broke up with you, and if you guys hang out, it'll be fun. Okay, that's my advice. That was probably shitty, but whatever. Thought I wanted to be a relationship therapist, but I'm just bullying you about not getting back together with your ex boyfriend.

I'm kind of projecting my own history onto you. Anyway, next. I was just wondering what to do if your crush kissed your best friend friend but your best friend doesn't know you like him and you don't know how to tell her or if you don't know if you should just not tell her at all or if you should just forget about your crush because we're going to start dating and I don't know if you do. Oh damn it bro.

I fucking hate that for you dude. I'm so sorry. That is so annoying. That has happened to me, actually. Kind of. That's actually a good story. Maybe I'll tell this story. Actually, that story.

I'll tell this story when I'm 25. Anyways, there's a few things that I wish that you were here right now so that I could tell you. I could ask you these questions. So I know when you're a teen, sometimes when you can, people kiss people and it doesn't mean shit, right? I mean, that's at least in my experience like sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't if their kiss meant something I would say that you should not tell your friend which is probably shitty advice, but the reason why I think you shouldn't tell your friend is because

It wouldn't really benefit anybody, right? Because if you tell her, if she likes this dude, she's still gonna probably date him. And you don't wanna be the bad guy in a sense being like, hey, I actually like this dude. And I'm sad because you guys are getting together and now, because then she's gonna feel bad and sometimes people are immature

and sometimes they'll resent you and be like, why do you like him? Cause I like him. And I would hope that your friend wouldn't be like that, but there is always that potential. So maybe just kind of sit on the feeling for a little while, don't tell her, but if they start, if it starts really bothering you

and it gets to a point where like it's affecting your relationship with her or him, then I say you bring it up to her and you just be like, listen, I don't know how to solve this problem. I kind of have feelings for this dude, and you're with him. So like, what should we do?

You know? Because I also understand how feelings start to go away. I've had crushes on so many people when they've like had girlfriends or like whatever and I'm just sitting there and I'm like, what the fuck? Damn it, you know what I mean? And it sucks. And it doesn't matter if they're in a relationship.

It doesn't matter. You still, those feelings just don't go away. Like they surpass all, all shit, you know what I mean. So anyway, I wish you very much luck with that and I hope that that helped Love it. I love this question because I I Love jewelry so much. I actually I use to hate jewelry Like when I was like in middle school in high school just cause I was too lazy to put it on. But like now I always am wearing jewelry.

I have like earrings, necklaces, rings, all of it. And I love it. I only wear silver jewelry fun fact. I don't know why that is though, just is that way. I have in my ears, well actually, okay, I'll name all my piercings. I have a nose ring and then I have my triples on both sides. So I have all the whole, the three holes in my, whatever it's called,

uh, lobe. Um, I almost called it the wrong thing, and it was a body, it was a different body part, and I almost called the lobe. Anyway, it would have been really bad. Never would have gotten an ad again. Really glad that I, called the lobe. Anyway, it would have been really bad. Never would have gotten an ad again. Really glad that my brain caught that. Lowkey, everybody hates this, but I've always kind of deep down,

and I'd never tell anybody this because everybody I tell literally judges the fuck out of me. I've always wanted to get my septum, like a ring in my septum. The septum is like the, like kind of, they call them like the little ball ring. Like in the part of your nose, it's like the middle part

in between your nostrils. I've always wanted to get like a tiny ring there where it's like barely noticeable, but it is I think it's so dope and edgy. Although getting that area pierced would hurt so bad I'm like touching it and it makes me wanna throw up. As for my actual ears, I just want to go crazy on my ears,

but the only problem is whenever I get cartilage piercings, I always get key loids which are like these weird bump things. And then they end up hurting so bad in like bleeding all the time and shit. So I end up having to take the piercing out. So like they never heal properly. So I've tried to get my cartilage twice and both times I've had to take them out. And it made my life living hell for months

when it was like healing. It just wasn't worth it. So if you guys have any tips on how to like get your cartilage to heal efficiently, like let me know, I guess I'm just like a restless sleeper. So it always just, I'm sleeping on it and it hurts. So that sucks, but I'm just gonna get more ear piercing soon. I just kinda need to look at some photos of other people's

and figure out what layout I want. But I'm really open-minded with ear piercings like I wanna get a fuck ton because I like when people's ears look jeweled up. And that's for tattoos. I'm probably never gonna get a tattoo to be honest, but I did have a few tattoo ideas. There's this one artist that's like a French artist and she does these like

colors. They're like colored tattoos and they look like little hand drawn, like little hand drawn hand sketched art, whatever. And they're just so fucking cool. So if I could ever get one, I'd probably get one of those because it almost feels like it's like colorful. So it's less like emo in a sense. But I also wanted to get a tattoo of, so it's less like emo in a sense.

But I also wanted to get a tattoo of, so my favorite movies, Napoleon Dynamite, okay? And for some weird reason, like in that movie just like makes me feel so weirdly safe. And like, I know it's stupid, but it's just like, it's always been my favorite movie. And it just, like was my whole childhood for me because I didn't have cables, so my dad would play the same DVDs over and over again.

Wallace and Grommet, Napoleon Dynamite, and like Max and Ruby, okay, like that was all I got to see. And like Napoleon Dynamite was my favorite shit. Oh, and Corline. So like I wanted to get, there's a scene in Napoleon Dynamite where somebody Uncle Rico, he's the uncle of Napoleon Dynamite, he throws a stake at Napoleon while he's riding a bike, and it hits him in the face.

And I like that scene. So I would want to get a stake, a fucking T-bone stake, on my neck. I wanted that tattoo, like a hand drawn T-bone stake. I also like it because it's ironic, because I'm a vegetarian, and I have been since I was born. So that was randomly the tattoo I wanted. And it doesn't make any fucking sense. But I thought it would look kind of dope.

There's something about the look of like a hand drawn like steak that like looks really pretty for some reason to me. Like not eating it, but like I like the shape of it. I sound like a fucking sociopath. Now great, now I fucking sound like a murderer. I'm not. I also thought it could be cool to get a tattoo of,

so wait, why is this making me want to get a tattoo randomly? I need to stop before I do it, because I literally will. I had this stuffed animal that I named Biggie Big. It was a bunny, and I used to suck my thumb until I was nine years old. And I would take Biggie Biggie, and I'd rub his ear on my lip while I was sucking my thumb. And I'm literally doing it right now because I was trying to remember how I used to do it.

I'd stick my thumb in my mouth, grab Biggie Biggie's ear and rub it on my lip as I was sucking my thumb. And Biggie Biggie was my bitch. Like that stuff animal, I almost seemed like getting weirdly choked up because I used to have these really weird attachments to inanimate objects, like very obsessive compulsive about it.

To a point where like if I wasn't holding it, like I would freak out, I had a few of those things. Biggie Big was my main one. I'd carry him with me everywhere, till I got to old and I had to go to school and it was so hard for me to walk around without that biggie Big was my main one. I'd carry him with me everywhere till I got to old and I had to go to school and it was so hard for me to walk around without that biggie big. It was really, really hard. So my dad actually bought me a mini little dog once. This mini dog we named him Mikey.

And I would carry Mikey around in my pocket. And I used to get really bad anxiety. And so I'd reach in my hand and I'd grab this little stuffed animal and I would make me feel like, oh my God, I'm literally getting choked up. Well, I'm getting choked up about the story. I'd reach my hand into my pocket and I'd like, and I could feel like my parents were,

oh my God, I'm gonna cry. That is so sad. Was I okay? I would reach into my pocket and grab this stuffed animal and I'd feel like my parents were like standing around me when I closed my eyes like so bizarre, but it would make me feel really safe.

And honestly, I kind of need another biggy big and another mickey because recently, I've been quite lonely. So, dad, if you wanna mail over another biggy big, let me know. That story got heavy for me for some reason. Anyway, so I'm going back to the tattoo point, getting a tattoo of like one of those little stuffed animals

on me somewhere would be super meaningful just because those were like, what helped with my anxiety as a child because that was a very anxious child. Now I gotta wanna get that tattoo. Lowkey, the fact that I almost just cried telling that story makes me want to get that tattoo. Oh my God, I'm calling my mom.

I'm literally gonna call my mom when I get out of here. Now I want it. Okay, wait, where would I get it? Because that will never go away. I'll never regret that. You can't regret that shit. I almost just cried about it. I haven't cried in two weeks.

Actually, I cried yesterday, but I'll explain that. It wasn't a real reason. It was just stupid. It was about something stupid. I kind of want to get more on the Slater, more on the Slater, more on the Slater. Anyway, if I get a big, big tattoo, you know what it is. I actually got that idea, I'm gonna give idea, Creds.

I kind of got that idea from my friend Kelsey, who she kind of did a similar thing with like a stuffed animal and got it tattooed on her body that had a sentimental value and I thought that that was so cool. And so yeah, thank you Kelsey for the idea. She's definitely not listening to this, but she did give me that idea. So I'm not going to not give her credit because that ship has me off. Okay, moving on to the next question, I really just went, that really took me somewhere, that took me to a new place.

I didn't even stand topic for a moment. And then I almost cried. Like, that was too much. I needed a fucking nap. Okay, next question. Hello, Emma. Where do you like red pasta sauce or the white pasta sauce? Thank you for listening. You're welcome for listening, always here. So here's the thing, I have never been a fan of any food

that is like white. Like, you hear that, bitch? I hate that shit. Manays? No. Alfredo sauce? No. Ranch?

No. Sour cream? No. Cotted cream? No. Cotted cheese? Fuck no. Are you sensing a pattern here? Hate that shit. So obviously my choice is marinara sauce. I love red sauce.

It's so much more flavorful. It's like refreshing. I hate something that like leaves a milky weird flavor in my mouth. And like Alfredo sauce does that to me. It just makes my mouth feel weird. And like the flavor just like, it makes me feel dirty. Like I feel like I need to shower after I eat Alfredo sauce does that to me. Like it just makes my mouth feel weird. And like the flavor just like, it makes me feel dirty. Like I feel like I need to shower after you Alfredo sauce. Moving on.

If you could have any breed of dog, what would it be? And what would you name it? Well, I'm actually a huge fan of rescuing dogs. So if I could have any dog breed, I like a little terrier mix, like a tiny little terrier mix. I mean, I wouldn't mind if it had a little bit of poodle in it, or a little bit of schnauzer in it, or a little bit of like maltees yorky in it. Like, I like the tiny little dogs that aren't so tiny that you'd kill them if you stepped on them,

but like, are not like so big that you can't carry them around. If you want, like's this perfect medium. I also actually like Italian Greyhounds a lot. I think those are really cute. My dog, Sammy, at my mom's house, is looks like a terrier, but has the body of an Italian Greyhound, which is so fucking weird and unusual.

But Italian Greyhounds are really cute. I like hyperallergenic dogs because I don't like to sneeze and I don't like their hair being everywhere. So those are my favorite dog breeds. If I was going to name a dog, I'd probably name it Gary. Next. Okay, so Emma, if you drop a bark, self is the self-gary or is the flow clean?

Bye, I love you. The floor is clean. Because think about it. Wait a minute. Because the idea of soap is that it kills bacteria. So bacteria ends up on the soap. It's going to kill most of that bacteria, right? Whereas the floor, and then the floor probably isn't going to be clean, but there's probably going to be a few spots that I've killed bacteria.

Period! All right, that's a great place to end things. Before I end the actual episode, I have a story to tell you about why I cried yesterday, because I brought that up earlier, and now I want to tell you the story. yesterday because I brought that up earlier and I want to tell you the story. So I booked a hotel for an event that ended up getting canceled because of coronavirus. And I paid a lot of money for this hotel because the rates were jacked up because of the event, right? And it got canceled, and it called them, and I was like, can we move this to another day

so that I can go as a vacation? And like, just regard the event, can we make something work? Can I cancel it? Because the event is canceled. They said no. So then all that money just went nowhere and I cried for like an hour.

Fuck. So I'm suing the company. It's crazy, I'm suing the company. It's crazy, it's crazy, I literally am filing my lawsuit right now, just filing it. I'm kidding, I will probably get sued for saying that. I'm always scared of getting sued. And on that note, I should probably shut up. Hope you guys enjoyed today's episode.
