That's a good one. We should definitely use that with callers today. Oh folks, thanks for tuning in. I'm here with my dear dear old colleague from the Biggy Biggodio, SARAHI Crane. Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 8

My namema, that's actually doctor Sara Crane, Doctor SARAHI Crane.

Speaker 1

Yeah, tell us about how you got your PhD?

Speaker 2

Was it hard?

Speaker 1

It was definitely hard. It was brutal.

Speaker 2

What is your PhD?

Speaker 9

In?

Speaker 1

So my work is around counseling and theology. The integration of both. So I actually did my studies at it, like the most random background.

Speaker 2

Uh huh, okay, that's cool. I was trying to think of like a joke of what you have a PhD.

Speaker 1

Well, I wrote my dissertation on sexual assault. So what kind of jokes you got there?

Speaker 2

Careful? What a mess? What a mix up? And what a mess? Surry? When did we meet? Seventh grade, eighth grade, eighth grade? So you came to the Bay from.

Speaker 1

Los Angeles, LA in eighth grade, eighth grade.

Speaker 2

Joined me in the hellacious slash fun junior high school experience, in which I feel like you were pretty popular, right, kind of instantly.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that was kind of strange because I was the new girl. I was pretty awkward and odd, and.

Speaker 2

It was kind of crange, Surry, crange. You were not awkward and shy.

Speaker 1

Yeah, it was definitely awkward.

Speaker 2

You don't think I don't really remember you being awkward.

Speaker 1

I think being silly helped me, yeah, reduce it.

Speaker 2

But listen, the one thing about our junior high was that being silly really worked out in our favor. You did.

Speaker 1

Specifically roasting people.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that's the funny thing, Like how shy can you be if you're roasting people?

Speaker 1

Listen, Chelsea, I'm a large human. I've always been huge. I mean by eighth grade, I was five to eight, right, and so I'm awkward. I've got big lips, big eyes, big features.

Speaker 2

You're expressive.

Speaker 1

Yeah, so you kind of had to know how to roast because I had to anticipate, oh teasingly. Absolutely, I mean everyone.

Speaker 2

I remember looking in that yearbook and I'm sure I've said this before at some point on this endless broadcast, but I remember looking and going, oh my goodness, I can look at everyone from our junior high school yearbook and still think what they were made fun of for. Because you had to have it in your back pocket. So someone's like big nose, You're like, you're sure to go for the to go. You have to use what you have. But literally, it was like on everyone.

Speaker 1

I'm positive I had crempt bangs, stacked crempt bangs.

Speaker 2

You had a long yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah yeah, stacked up cramped bangs.

Speaker 2

Yeah, yes, you had a long bang.

Speaker 1

I always had a long bank.

Speaker 2

Yeah you had a long bang.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I always had a long bank. That's struggling, yeah, yeah, struggle thing yeah, it's pretty struggling. Yeah it's pretty struggling. Yeah, yeah, struggle than Yeah it's pretty struggling. Yeah it's pretty struggling. Yeah, pretty struggling. Yeah, pretty struggling. Yeah, struggled than Yeah, pretty struggling. I always had a long bank, but that was.

Speaker 2

In style because everyone kind of had. I was thinking of Kamara, like everyone had long bangs that were curled under at the very end.

Speaker 1

Yeah that when you're broke and can't go to the beauty shop regularly. It's pretty struggling, pretty pretty struggle.

Speaker 2

Listen, there was a lot of that bang that struggle ban.

Speaker 1

Yeah, struggle was yeah the vibe.

Speaker 2

Now, I also had it, but in the Caucasian category. I because I mean I always say this, but seventh grade was the ugliest I've ever been wretched. I had a perm which is so funny, like to think about, like, perms are so out of style now, right, like, but to think about a time where white people are getting curlers and chemicals put in their hair to have wavy hair.

Speaker 1

And we're getting perms and chemicals to shit's.

Speaker 2

Cratraighton, what a mixed up crazy world. Men are from Mars, women are from where now it doesn't make sense. So I had wavy but not even good waves like now it's like I think we've figured it out with like no, make your waves with a heating implement. But back then I had like these awful perm waves which are kind of spirally m but like pulled down spirals with damage, chemical damage. And then I had straight bangs that I did with a curler in a line so they would make like.

Speaker 1

A shine that sounds familiar shine line.

Speaker 2

Across the middle of them, and then braces and comboy so so skinny, like my knees would stick out and my teeth are all braced up, and it's just like, yeah, you gotta have some jokes. You gotta have some jokes. You better have a joke in both back pockets if you look like that totally.

Speaker 1

And I wasn't doing training bras like I should have. So I look back on photos.

Speaker 2

Wiles, Yeah, that's really bohemian of you, because I feel like that was that was a daring risk to have taken.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and at five eight, I mean I was skin and bones, had gap jeans.

Speaker 2

Sound like a model.

Speaker 1

We probably in now too late?

Speaker 2

Is modeling in your future?

Speaker 1

Doubt it?

Speaker 2

Starter jackets, starter jackets, raiders jackets, also tons of rayon, rayons of rail ants, rayon shirts. Why was rayon? It's like, is there any other time in history. I guess there is where a certain textile just completely.

Speaker 1

Ruled dominated the whole industry.

Speaker 2

Yeah, because all the guys were wearing like Paisley.

Speaker 1

Rail they had to be patterned absolutely.

Speaker 2

Starter jackets, the raiders. And what's the one with the like kind of turquoise and purple?

Speaker 1

Oh, that would be like Orlando Magic. No, No, I wasn't. No, I'm thinking because Miami too. The University of Miami was the orange and green bit and a lot of people had that. But you're right about that turquoise and purple has that had its Heyday two.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I can't remember who it was. And then Nike Cortes, Oh, Elise Shans anyway, you know, I guess a lot of this is back. But anyway, so rayon being a textile that you know, incidentally is terrible for the environment, apparently terrible as are leggings, ladies. That's why I buy all my leggings second and third hand. They all have crotch stains.

Speaker 1

Those naps and thy naps.

Speaker 2

Yeah, they snap, they all have pillage all through the inner thigh and crotch stains thynap. Yeah, so I know, but I do admire the younger generation that like thrifts all their clothes. I did used to do that. Did you had Buffalo Exchange? Lot fulo Exchange and Crossroads? Oh yeah, Crossroads Trading co.

Speaker 1

Yeah. And I think ladies are kind of getting together now and we're doing like clothing swaps, like going through the closet, hanging out over mocktails and gluten free crackers.

Speaker 2

Gosh, exchange awful, count me out? Uh so yeah? And then what was your We know we didn't hang out as much in high school, right, we did a little bit.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I mean that's what kept the relationship going.

Speaker 2

Yeah, what was your style? In high school?

Speaker 1

Literally involved matchy matchy? Still pretty struggling ninth grade still well, I showed.

Speaker 2

Up at my high school in like humongous gap scenes and striped gap shirts that were like five sizes too big. Absolutely, I was so bright compared to everyone else in just so baggy and bright, and it was like almost just humiliating to enter the campus and I just was like I didn't fit in here.

Speaker 1

Another reason why you had to know how to.

Speaker 2

Roast that's right. Yeah, although that wasn't happening at my little high school.

Speaker 1

Well at my high school, public high school.

Speaker 10

It was.

Speaker 1

Upon arrival.

Speaker 2

They were sizing you up upon right, yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and I think.

Speaker 2

The newbies are here like that is so scary.

Speaker 1

And I was so tall that people thought that I was older. So I kind of got bullied by like eleventh and twelfth graders.

Speaker 2

Did they call you miss Crane? Now, it's just if I were you how to pretended I was a teacher to get out.

Speaker 1

Of mom there. Oh yeah. So that kind of helped a little bit because I'd be like, my mama gon you know right, yeah, but then she.

Speaker 2

Took their side. Yeah much, She's like, your forehead is kind of big, You're like, mom god. Yeah, So maybe we should talk about well also I did want to. I thought we could talk about makeup because I feel you're almost like a professional m ua SI has true makeup skills.

Speaker 1

What do you mean?

Speaker 2

Stop him? And then I think we can take calls talk about that and also talk about people's junior high experiences. Yes, why not?

Speaker 1

I mean I've also had extensive experience with trauma and taking ls. So if we want to go dark, Yeah, we always have that.

Speaker 2

I'm your gal in our under trying not to say back pocket because I've already said that five times.

Speaker 1

But you can always, I mean, you know, I can always like dial up this little like life coach voice. Oh my god, that's fun too.

Speaker 2

You're essentially having a split personality right now. You're like, who do you want? Which society?

Speaker 5

Who do you want?

Speaker 2

You want?

Speaker 10

You?

Speaker 2

Hello? Hello, Hello, Hello, Hi. You're on with me and my junior Hi friends survived to this day my friend as well.

Speaker 5

Hi.

Speaker 2

Hi, we're talking about just the cruelty of children in junior high being shy but also roasting people to survive. What was your experience? I can't believe that.

Speaker 5

Next Hello, Chelsea, Yeah, wow, Wow, pleasure to talk to you.

Speaker 2

No, I just was thinking, like the last color. Literally I said the topic. He said uh and hung up. And now I'm like, you know what, I'm not prepared to give any energy to this call because I was just so resoundly rejected. Yeah, I'm here with my friends. Sorry, we went to junior high school together. We're friends to this very day that millions. We've been friends for sixty five years. What was your experience as a teen did you did you find your tribe back then? Did it

take you a while? Did your personality go through any transitions during that time?

Speaker 5

It was a lot of black clothing, a lot of like dark lipstick, heavy eyeliner. I did. I had my hair dyed blue for a long time.

Speaker 2

M Yeah, EMO seems like a fun identity. I didn't really get, you know, I wasn't at a school where there was that.

Speaker 1

Yeah, there wasn't an abundance of EMO.

Speaker 2

Yeah, there were not emos at our school.

Speaker 1

Emo week.

Speaker 5

Well what were you two?

Speaker 2

Well, first let's dig into you a little bit.

Speaker 1

Yeah, let's get into your biz.

Speaker 2

So what does EMO mean? Like, you had your hair dyed black, and you wore like under eye eyeliner, and you like were all black.

Speaker 5

It was a lot of black clothing, a lot of like dark lipstick, heavy eyeliner.

Speaker 1

I did.

Speaker 5

I had my hair dyed blue for a long time. I did that, But I was also on debate team, so I had to diet back to a normal collar. So that was that was fun and short.

Speaker 2

For debate. Like I like that you went through an absolute, like complete transformation to be in debate. You're like able to just cast aside your identity become squeaky clean for debate, did you wear Did you wear a wig?

Speaker 10

No?

Speaker 5

Maybe I should have. No. I just my natural hair color is really dark brown, so I just died it back.

Speaker 2

That's cool. I used to have a friend that his name is Sasha. I wonder if he is out there somewhere. He was my friend. We would talk about hair to talk about all our feelings, like I feel like my hair is a little messy lately, and it's like your life is mess and it's like I kind of want to do something sleek, or I want to cut my hair. I'm gonna color my hair, and we would just laugh because we're like, oh my god, we're talking about all our feelings through our hair. It was like our special bond.

Speaker 1

That's impressive.

Speaker 2

But I did see this lady, Oh god, now I can't remember what it's called. It was like a twenty four hour diner in New York, not diner, like kind of French roast I think it was called. And she had like bleached blonde hair like Gwen Stefani. And I was like, I'm gonna do that, And then I did tricky I've definitely shared this before on the podcast, but whatever,

I'm gonna repeat myself. It's been seriously so many years at this point, but I dyed my hair bleached it blonde like it took five, you know, rounds of region, and no one liked it, like, not a person. Not a person was like, this looks great, like everyone, here's where everyone go. Can you guess what they would say? If you hate someone's hair, what would you say?

Speaker 1

Yikes? No, You'll say like, oh I.

Speaker 2

Like the cut, that's good, but that's not what they were saying collar. Can you guess, but it'd be like, oh that's so bold, like now.

Speaker 1

Yeah, Black people would say something like that.

Speaker 2

They go you got no, they would go you dyed your hair and then not be like it looks great. I'm just say you died your hair and I like yeah yeah, and then it's like I just start stammering excuses.

Speaker 11

Yeah.

Speaker 2

I thought it would be fun. Yeah, it's getting grilled. I can killor it again.

Speaker 1

My community would say, okay, blood, see that would be fine.

Speaker 2

I would take that unless I saw then two people exchanging eye contact charged eye contact behind my back.

Speaker 1

Yeah. It's pretty struggling. Yeah, pretty struggling. Yeah, pretty struggling, Yeah, pretty struggling. Yeah.

Speaker 2

But yeah, no one really liked it. It didn't compliment my skin. But then I cut it short and dyed it purple, which I thought was fun. Member manic panic is color?

Speaker 1

Is that used? Uh?

Speaker 5

It's not, but I'm familiar.

Speaker 2

Okay, So you were emo and on debate? Do you remember your best debate showing that you ever had what the topic was?

Speaker 5

Oh, I don't know. That's tough. I don't remember. I only remember my failures. Of course, I only remember my gloves. I don't remember heights or anything.

Speaker 2

Let's hear a flub.

Speaker 5

Someone asked me we Someone asked me a question about BP, like who It was a quick question who owns BP? And I didn't know it mean for British Petroleum? So I was like brasilient and he said, no further questions.

Speaker 2

Not good, that is painful, No further questions. Do you even say that in debate? Isn't that like reserved for homicide trials?

Speaker 5

Because he was doing a rebuttal, so he was like, I'm done. It's like I'm out rudal.

Speaker 2

That is rudal. You're like, isn't it crazy how that sticks with you for so long. Like as a mom, when I think about that, I'm like, no, Like I would never want my son to feel that. But it's like you can't protect your child from all the colors of life, Like they have to feel that, they have to walk through that and feel like, yeah, the.

Speaker 1

Stench of failure. Yeah, character.

Speaker 2

Yeah. I was remembering with someone that I wrote an essay in college and my teacher wrote my professor, I should say, wrote in red ink. They circled some phrase which I don't even remember the phrase, which is probably a bad because I was supposed to learn that lesson. But they wrote sounds naive.

Speaker 12

I was like, sounds nice me naive, the girl who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders at old times naive? Can I talk to you, professor, because I'm worldly anyway?

Speaker 2

But it's just so funny, like what I always am fascinated by what sticks with you forever I know, and what you just don't retain in the slightest you know. And it's so scary too as a parent, because you have no idea what will be the thing you say. This is emblematic of your shortcomings as a parent. And you yourself said it anyway, caller, that's pretty sad and funny. I love it. Great story for the pause, great story, thank you. After your EMO phase, what was next? Was that your final culture.

Speaker 5

A little bits? And then it kind of as I was, like, ending high school going into college was sort of like the Indy tweet early twenty tens, a lot of like skirts and big glasses with no lenses in them.

Speaker 2

Were you adorable kind of stuff?

Speaker 5

Uh, that's what I aimed for, definitely. I don't know if I did it, but I tried.

Speaker 2

Oh adorable. Yeah, all right, Well, listen, sounds like you've had a great journey.

Speaker 5

I wanted to say super quick only because I'm coming to Los Angeles for the first time in like a few weeks and I just listened to your episode with the Sandwich King.

Speaker 2

So what's your ass?

Speaker 5

This is you probably get this all time, all the time, but like kind of fun stuff to do that made.

Speaker 2

Me kick me?

Speaker 5

What that's okay?

Speaker 2

I'm just I'm sorry I can't do a meat and greet. Wait what fun things to do? Have you heard of time out?

Speaker 5

Like or really good food, like a real good kind of like I don't know, hole in the wall.

Speaker 1

There's a lot of good food in this town.

Speaker 2

Are you yawning? You got me? Coller, That's that's a diagnostic I have to.

Speaker 10

You.

Speaker 2

Seemed like a real sweetheart, but I gotta gun get a guide book. So I started yawning. I didn't want to go down that filthy little road. Powers Christia, Powers Christia.

Speaker 5

It's me.

Speaker 2

I can't believe it. Me and Benito talk to Powers Christia. It was actually the name of an episode by the Powers Vestigate me by the Power. Yeah, the Powers vested in me? By Christia. What can we do you for? And here with Suri Crane, we're talking about junior high school adolescents, phases that you may have gone through, humiliations, you may have experienced.

Speaker 7

Well, I mean, I was such an emo kid in junior high another it was like a lifestyle.

Speaker 2

Really, So, I mean, I can't decide if this is that we did not go to a primarily Caucasian school, or if this is that it was before it was after our time the emo thing. I don't know which it is. I think it's both.

Speaker 7

I am from Ohio originally, so I think the Midwest has a big thing to do with it.

Speaker 2

What's it?

Speaker 1

Does this?

Speaker 2

Does that resonate?

Speaker 5

No? Oh?

Speaker 2

What is emo music?

Speaker 1

What were you listening to?

Speaker 6

Like like that?

Speaker 7

But it's not a ukulele? And they're saying, like, you know.

Speaker 2

That's brutal.

Speaker 7

It's pretty awful. It's good, it's not all bad.

Speaker 2

But is it like where you're straining your vocals like that?

Speaker 1

Totally?

Speaker 2

Some of it is?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 2

Are you sure?

Speaker 7

It was like a big thing for like, you know, I was the queer person, and I think being emo was a way to like wear tight jeans, but be like, I'm not gay.

Speaker 1

You celebrate your type jeans.

Speaker 2

I'm celebrating your queerness.

Speaker 1

Same.

Speaker 2

What was that applause for you?

Speaker 7

Gorgious?

Speaker 1

Wait?

Speaker 2

So what you said you had tight jeans?

Speaker 7

You know, like skinny jeans. You're very emotional. You're always wearing like a colorful band T shirt and your hairents dyed like flamingo pink.

Speaker 2

Oh that's cool. Yeah yeah, Would you like get mad at your mom all the time?

Speaker 1

No?

Speaker 7

I love my mom, o friend, because there's lots.

Speaker 2

Of memes I've seen, like on Instagram of like emo kids yelling at their moms. Have you seen that?

Speaker 1

No?

Speaker 7

Yeah, for sure, I mean I was definitely like moodier to my.

Speaker 11

Mom.

Speaker 2

You don't understand.

Speaker 3

A scene.

Speaker 2

You're like, mom, you have to go with me to the mall.

Speaker 7

But the thing was like she didn't understand because nobody understood, right, and that's not her problem.

Speaker 1

Well, maybe you liked being misunderstood.

Speaker 7

Are you?

Speaker 2

You said, Ohio, Ohio?

Speaker 7

I'm in New York now, Yeah, he had a crazy week in the city.

Speaker 7

That I never show never And he was just like this twink with a ukulele and a high voice. Yeah yeah, very emo, but like very gay adjacent.

Speaker 10

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Speaker 1

I worked at it.

Speaker 2

I mean, what would someone you know how people analyze penmanship. I wonder what they would make of yours. They'd be like, little miss perfect, do you ever take five?

Speaker 1

It's always such a compliment when someone says that about my penmanship.

Speaker 2

It is so like it's it's literally looks like a type, like a font. Oh my gosh. I was just about to say that, Yeah, it looks like that cursive font where you're like, yeah, right, you want this to look like my grandmother wrote it, but it's just a font, and no, that's your actual.

Speaker 7

School ready I'm doing.

Speaker 2

I have to say I got your report card?

Speaker 6

Oh oh dear, okay, cank to me.

Speaker 2

There's a couple of things I want to discuss with you.

Speaker 1

I need to do a circle back. Yeah.

Speaker 2

Were your grades good?

Speaker 5

Yeah?

Speaker 2

Yeah?

Speaker 6

Uh Look, I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 2

So I was an honor roll Sam.

Speaker 6

I mean it doesn't really I feel like this roll doesn't really matter because I was like an elementary school and I was excited to like get sickers.

Speaker 2

Can you put your mouth closer to your phone?

Speaker 1

Yeah, your little faint?

Speaker 6

Can you hear me better?

Speaker 1

Now? Yeah?

Speaker 2

Yeah, five fucking thousand times better. What did you have your It was your phone taped to your foot? What an insane improvement.

Speaker 6

I actually just pulled up to my mom's house I live. Yeah, I live in Burbank, but he lives in Downy Mmm.

Speaker 5

Downy It's where I grew up.

Speaker 2

I'm kidding. Okay, so this is this sound is now exquisite?

Speaker 6

What were we really crazy? Because I just drove by my middle school and I was like, dang, I got really bad grades in middle school because once I like got boobe, I was like, wow, boys like.

Speaker 2

Me the boob deficit.

Speaker 1

Didn't get those till college.

Speaker 2

Now, Sarah has a huge set of knockers, But back then Mosquito. Okay, wait, you know what you want to know?

Speaker 6

How I found out that I had boobs though?

Speaker 2

How you bumped into them?

Speaker 9

No.

Speaker 6

I was in seventh grade and I had just bought in this like white little T shirt that said like la Dodgers on it, and I felt so cool about it because I was like, yeah, I like sports and this guy was like, wow, you should really wear that shirt more often. And I'm thinking like, wow, he really likes me, only to find out that the only guy because my boobs put in it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you're like, go Dodgers, and he's like, you dumb bitch. Yeah that's yeah. It is kind of insane, like when you think when you have a kid, you do see how we're animals, like the teeth come in and the teeth go out and all these weird things losing teeth, and then the idea for a girl like that you're completely flat chested, and then you have it starts with

those little marbles. Something about those little bulb Those little marbles are so embarrassing because they don't even like they're not really a full boom.

Speaker 6

No, you think that they are ye at the time, but they're really not.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Speaker 6

So my grades though, like in eighth grade, it got really really bad and I ended up getting like a parentcy trick conference, but with all of my teachers at the same.

Speaker 2

Time, and they're like, boobs, boobs, boobs, what was the conference?

Speaker 6

So basically they were like, look, your daughter, Like, it's insane how well she does like in class, like she participates, she loves to talk, she's got created great personality, she helped a lot, answers our questions, but doesn't do any of her homework and does really bad on her Testy's pleasure to have in class, but she's not doing well.

Speaker 2

What a bummer painful? Yeah, well, I thought the whole thing was tying into boobs somehow, so I was like, I was waiting for the other boob to drop because it were But I guess I really.

Speaker 6

Wish that was the case, but it wasn't, and it sucks so bad. And I mean, I'm like, my mom's very Mexican. I'm like first gen Mexican, so she like this is gonna sound so fucked up, but I mean it's now. But she like after that like teacher conference with everybody, it just so happened that this school kid like went out like the bell rang for the end of the day as soon as the fucking conference was over, and then she like was like, Okay, I'm gonna embarrass you.

She grabbed my ear and pulled me out of the office in front of everyone until we got to the car.

Speaker 10

Oh my god, is a cruciating the worst thing ever, Oh my god, and like mind you, Like my mom was never like abusive like that, but she just wanted to embarrass me so badly.

Speaker 1

Mission accomplished.

Speaker 6

Yeah, yeah, my grades up.

Speaker 2

You did get your grades that you did? Yeah, you did. I don't know what lesson to take from.

Speaker 1

This as a parent, humiliate your kid publicly, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2

I think my grades got bad in eighth grade. No, I do think they did, because I feel like there was some concern I wasn't going to get into my high school.

Speaker 1

Mm but.

Speaker 6

Like a special school, like like a musical theater like No, it was just.

Speaker 2

A private school from a but we went to a public school for junior high and then I went to private school for high school. And I think I was starting to have a lot of fun in eighth grade. Eighth grade was pretty fun.

Speaker 5

It was fun.

Speaker 2

I can't say what we did. We were trying to get out. Were you involved in that? I was not. I guess when alcohol, Yeah that was with Alexander.

Speaker 1

There were other people, Yeah, for sure, absolutely, yes.

Speaker 2

I was always forever trying to get cool quote unquote cool adults to buy me alcohol at liquor stores, and I'm like, now that I think about it, like they would and I'm like, who would we do that anything? I can't remember what we would try. I remember I drank Ian j but I think that was freshman year. I no longer drink and you can tell why did.

Speaker 6

You drink empty It was like it was like emptying and they came in like a glass bottle.

Speaker 1

No, I was a more urban beverage.

Speaker 2

I drank Old English. That was so my first drunk. My first time getting drunk was freshman year.

Speaker 1

And it was a forty old English freshman year in high school.

Speaker 2

Yeah, wow, you didn't do that, not at all? Did you ever? Have you ever drunk?

Speaker 1

I had my first drink in college but.

Speaker 2

Never been like fully drunk.

Speaker 11

Ah.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I feel like, yeah college and I could count on one hand how many times the whole four years.

Speaker 2

That's crazy. I know, like my whole journals from basically the from then on or just I want to get fucked up. I want to go.

Speaker 1

That wasn't I think because there wasn't there wasn't much booze in the house.

Speaker 2

Well I didn't have booze and that actually my mom did and she's like a teatoller and she had like liquors for cooking.

Speaker 6

I have really parents, so like when I would like be let out, yeah, like I was like crazy, like oh my god, like I have to get in my party right now. And then like I'd always get drunk and always get in trouble, and my parents would be like, this is why we don't let.

Speaker 2

You out, But they kept letting you out if you always got drunk.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 6

Crazy actually, And I was in high school. I was like sixteen years old and I was on the dance team and I had like a dance like little like dance camp for like little kids the next day. But I went out the night before and I got black out drunk, and I got home and my mom I was so blacked out. My mom got I was going to like overdose or something because little brain work, and she was so scared. She's like, what did I pick her to the hospital? We need to pick her the hospital.

And my dad like made me get in the car. We went to like urgent care, and then they were like, we think she has alcohol poisoning.

Speaker 2

Did your mom drag you into urgent care by your ear?

Speaker 8

No?

Speaker 5

No, thank god.

Speaker 6

But then I had to be at like the little like dance camp because I was on the team, and like the next day I had to be there. My call time was like six am. Didn't leave the like urgent care until five am.

Speaker 2

So are you like doing one two three one one? Domember?

Speaker 6

And I had to kids that day. It was awful. And I remember like on the way home, like as I was like still really drunk, my high school boyfriend was driving us, and I threw up out the window and lost my glasses. And I'm super blind, like like always have to be wearing glasses. If not, it's literally like a liability to the world. And lost my glasses. I don't even know how I name the next day my dance cold, thank God's and no. But yeah, it was pretty bad.

Speaker 2

Yeah that doesn't sound good. Doesn't sound fun?

Speaker 8

Oh?

Speaker 1

Real wild one Chelsea.

Speaker 6

Not to change the subject, but I have always wanted to get on the pod. I just have to ask you if you like oysters are not love? That's like my number one slop of myself.

Speaker 5

I don't like them and I don't know how to get into them.

Speaker 2

I mean, I think the trick is for me. They have to be a few things I like them to be absolutely ice cold. I've gone to a couple of places where they're not ice colder, and I think it's disgusting, Like I feel like they're like festering bacteria unless they're ice cold. So for me, I wanted ice cold. And then I do not like the creamy oysters. I like the crisp, clean oysters, and I do not.

Speaker 5

Go ahead.

Speaker 2

I think I know what you're gonna say. I don't like the huge ones, and I don't like the tiny ones. I like the medium size, crisp, clean ones. Usually they're from the East Coast. Now I'm going to predict what I think you're asking me. If I've tracked ready go people dying from eating oysters.

Speaker 6

Oh no, no, no, I saw that all of our TikTok go.

Speaker 3

Okay, No.

Speaker 6

I was going to ask if you've been to that place Draco's in New Orleans that does like tarboiled oysters.

Speaker 10

I have.

Speaker 1

It's called Draco's, I think they call yeah.

Speaker 6

Like, I think it's like in the Dragos. It's like in the Hilton Hotel or something.

Speaker 2

I don't like the sound of that. Yeah, in the Hilton Hotel. I like a there's a place in Ventura that makes great charboiled oysters. I love that smokiness and stuff. But I will say if in the best case scenario of cooked oysters and the best case scenario of raw oysters, I think raw are better.

Speaker 6

I just feel like I feel like, I mean, I'm thirty one, I still feel like a child, but I feel like I'm really gonna enter my womanhood like adult. God bitch era. Once I started liking oysters, and I don't know why I associate that.

Speaker 5

But I just do.

Speaker 2

You know how I tried my first oyster. I was with my dad and my brother, and there was a sushi place that had you know, like sushi boats were really popular in like the nineties, yes, and so it was like a sushi boat thing, and they had these little oysters. I'm pretty sure I've talked about this as well.

I need to find some new histories to explore. But they had a little bit of miso and something else in there, like maybe slight bit of soy, something kind of a little bit brown, like maybe a pond zoo had a little tart and it had a little you know, a slice, tiny slice scallion on there, and they would get them and just slurp them down, slurp them down. I was like GROLs girls goods, like suddenly just starts looking good like they're enjoying it so much, and I'm

like fuck. And then I tried it and I did like.

Speaker 5

It were youse.

Speaker 7

I like muscles, but I.

Speaker 1

I don't love muscles.

Speaker 2

Wait a minute from the bay. Did you never go to Spangers?

Speaker 1

Definitely went. I love Spangers, but I was I was getting clams.

Speaker 2

Remember the Miley Cyrus album Spangers? Yeah, does still exist?

Speaker 1

Uh No, it's shut down, like so what we grew up with? Shut down and then they opened something back up.

Speaker 2

But well, Spangers used to be the spot. Yeah, there was a few spots. In fact, there's a few spots that are still there. Yeah, But there used to be an Italian place in Emoryville that I would go with my dad, Emoryville or Richmond. It might have been deep into Richmond. It was somewhere that wasn't even very much like it wasn't like a row of restaurants. It was liked of like desolate, and then there was like legit Italians making food and like it was so good good.

It was one of those places. It's just like trapped in time and never to mature. No, I wish. Yeah, that's like what that caller wanted for me as a recommendation for something like that. It's hard to think of that in La, Like there's strip malls with little spots, but like, I don't know, I just didn't Irish. Goodbye the Irish. You'll get that later, Okay. Hi, Hi, I'm here with my junior high school foolish friends. Sir Rye Crane.

Speaker 1

Hi, Happy Friday.

Speaker 2

Happy Friday, guys. What's as we're talking about junior high school phases that you might have been through, teachers loved or hated, humiliations you may have endured.

Speaker 5

Oh well, I'm gay, so that was fun. I came out in middle school.

Speaker 7

That was free.

Speaker 2

Have you noticed all my callers are gay? I feel like now I might need to switch on over to the other side, mojo. Is that an option?

Speaker 5

I'm at work right now and I'm ignoring all my tables and I just got fat and I see it on me.

Speaker 2

Oh okay, so most chains do have something scrumptious to be had. What's the Bob Evans specialty?

Speaker 3

Well, breakfast, I guess, but all of our breakfast, dude, is super greasy.

Speaker 5

They're literally deep fries.

I was like, this is incredible. And then it was like some pancake thing that was amazing. I guess that's pretty obvious. Okay, Cheves. I used to go to remember I used to do Is that a Bay Area chein or is that I think it must.

Speaker 1

Be because I don't see cheves down here. Yeah, I didn't know it until I moved to the Bay Area.

Call why SOCKI why saki?

Speaker 11

You knew how to say it?

Speaker 2

That's pretty greatly, it's pretty phonetic looking. I have to say, oh, yeah, it was polish, so oh it's got to be phonetic. Wait, how would someone pronounce it incorrectly?

Speaker 9

With so.

Speaker 11

It's been just like but sher to talk about my last name.

Speaker 1

Well, now I'm all into it. What are a couple of the pronunciations.

Speaker 2

With sock with soak?

Speaker 11

Yeah, there was like why sock me? There was like a bunch of thing. Yeah, but no, seriously, I big fan. I've been listening. I've been like binging the podcast. That's so funny.

Speaker 2

Thank you.

Speaker 11

Yeah, I didn't get to to catch the previous iteration of it, but this one's pretty great.

Speaker 2

Oh thanks. Yeah, I've been I think we've sort of been hitting our groove lately. We've had some fun episodes. I've been like the last one that just aired, I was cracking up listening to it. I mean, obviously I was cracking up the clip I posted where I'm talking about shoving a sub into a cork. Jeff Morrow's cadaver. And I can't tell you how many times I watched that clip yesterday and laughed at my love.

Speaker 11

I love your I love your food centric podcast, but it does kind of give me a little bit of a nauseated feeling. I don't really like hearing people too, so I know it makes me a little like a little ifsy.

Speaker 1

But I love food, so I know, actually idiosyncrasy for a couple.

Speaker 11

I have a couple of food suggestions for you from Trader Joe's.

Speaker 2

Oh interesting. Well, first of all, I need to comment on this whole mesophonia thing.

Speaker 11

Oh yeah, okay, you know what that's called.

Speaker 5

Yeah?

Speaker 2

Did you not know that?

Speaker 5

No?

Speaker 1

What is it?

Speaker 2

Mesophonia? So here's the thing. I have mesophonia and know what it's called, and you don't, and you're still talking down to me about chewing on my podcast. You don't even have a diagnosis, honey, I know.

Speaker 11

I wish I would have been diagnosed sooner.

Speaker 2

No, I'm not even diagnosed, but I do like I have a my skin crawls when I have to hear certain people chewing. Now, when I have listened to the podcast, I'm not hearing the chewing that much. I don't know what people are responding to, but I haven't found it to be really.

Speaker 11

I think it's the like concept of I know that you're just like like mowing down some like food.

Speaker 1

I don't know, mowing.

Speaker 11

Maybe maybe it's a little jealousy. Maybe it's jealousy. Maybe maybe I'm just like, Oh, I wish I was I was there enjoying the tastes and everything. And I think there's like an a SMR.

Speaker 2

Term for for this.

Speaker 11

I can't really, I can't really remember off the top of my head. I've been trying to. I'm so excited that I'm that I finally got uh if I finally caught your Instagram posts when you're doing it, Yeah, it's like or something.

Speaker 2

We need to figure out the international callers. I just want to announce that now because I've been seeing the comments that people said they can't get through from other countries.

Speaker 11

Now historically, well, I'm in Texas, so I am in another nation.

Speaker 2

But I yes, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about people in other countries they're saying they can't get through. So I would like to just say, for those international callers that are listening, we're going to resolve that because the first iteration of the podcast International Callers was actually a huge part of the tone of the show, the community of callers, and we certainly want you to participate. So we're going to figure that out asap and you're

going to be welcomed in to the fray. Now I forget, like, oh, who is the ideal international caller if we record at three three pm California time.

Speaker 6

That's what I don't take away.

Speaker 11

Who's your guests on right now?

Speaker 2

Oh, sir Ry Crane, Hi, my junior high school friend, Hi, and friend to this day.

Speaker 11

Oh my god, how special.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that's really nice. Mm hmm.

Speaker 11

I was wondering where did you grow up?

Speaker 2

Oakland, California, the Bay Area?

Speaker 5

Oh?

Speaker 2

Okay, my dad was in elce Rito, my grandmother cool in Rinda.

Speaker 1

Mm hmm.

Speaker 2

That was my story and I'm sticking with it.

Speaker 1

And I moved to Oakland from Los Angeles and that's when we became friends.

Speaker 2

And my mom grew up in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1

My mom grew up in Los Angeles, So that's amazing.

Speaker 11

Hey, I have another question for for for you, Chelsea. I feel like nobody talks about your stand up in the podcast. Is that something that you like to avoid or do you do you mind talking about your stand up?

Speaker 2

I would talk about it. I guess sure, okay.

Speaker 11

Because like I'm a so I'm a huge fan of you from your stand up, from like from a long time ago, I feel like, but one of the one of my favorite jokes of of like all time. Seriously, I always pretty much every day I use this, and it's really funny.

Speaker 2

Hold On, I'm going to give you hold on, hold on, I'm going to give you a drum roll, and then you can say what the joke was.

Speaker 11

Well, it's it's it's like a I think it's like a more of a build up. So it's so when you basically when when when when you're you're with a guy and you're you're about to make him come, and then you say, and then you could do your drum roll right there.

Speaker 7

Well, director, oh you're changing.

Speaker 2

I thought it was thank you for dinner.

Speaker 11

I don't know. I think it was this. I think that it was that one. Do you know what I'm talking about? Your joke?

Speaker 2

I'm really sure. The only thing I can think of, there's no I may have had a joke like that. I don't remember that, but I thought it was like thank you for dinner, thank you for dinner, and and then I had like one where I did like a wildcat impression, but I can't even remember what the setup to that was. But a wildcat, yeah, like when people are like you're you're just a little wildcat.

Speaker 5

Like it was.

Speaker 2

The idea was like, it's not really sexy the version of a wildcat. It's like a feral wild.

Speaker 1

Oh my god.

Speaker 2

Anyway, Eh, you're on call, Chelsey Breddy with me my friends SARAIH. Crane were talking about junior high school hijinks, teachers, disappointments, humiliations in the adolescent years and beyond.

Speaker 3

Oh this is amazing. And I got so excited when I saw you were with your best friend from junior high. Hi, I'm still best friends with my Hi. Hi, I'm still best friends with my best friend from junior or high. It's amazing.

Speaker 2

I love it during and progress.

Speaker 3

Yeah, I have a story. I want to tell it because Chelsea you're like her favorite comedians and she hates and I tell people how we met, so I know she'll listen to this, which is.

Speaker 5

Maybe not nice.

Speaker 3

But when we had met, it was on I had transferred to schools and our junior High. Technically, it's all just one elementary school from like when you're kindergarten up to grade eight. And so I had transferred in grade six and morning recessed. She'd come up to me. I didn't know her or who she was, new kid, new kid at school.

Speaker 2

Yeah, well she was new.

Speaker 5

She just went right up to you.

Speaker 2

She was new in eighth grade.

Speaker 3

Oh, you were the new kid, okay.

Speaker 1

Chelsea was the cool one.

Speaker 7

Oh okay.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 3

So it's like intimidating and you want to make an impression. But she came up to me on the playground mm hmm. And she had come up right up to me and she said, Hi, is your name Kendall, which I had she was in my class in the morning, and she didn't know me, and I said yes, And then she said, well, uh, Lindsey told me to beat you up, but don't worry.

Speaker 2

I won't.

Speaker 3

I'm nice because this program my other school apparently didn't like me.

Speaker 2

That sounds to put a hit out. Yeah. That sounds just like junior high, right, like something that's just like if any parent was involved, they'd be like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, who told you to do what and why and couldn't there be a better way and why are you messaging this information? It's just like so fucking immature someone.

Speaker 7

That's how we met.

Speaker 5

And she'd never beat me up.

Speaker 3

She was nice, she's the best.

Speaker 2

Actually, So did she have a crush on you right away?

Speaker 1

H No?

Speaker 3

But like she's just she's one of the waits.

Speaker 2

Did you say it's your girlfriend? Did you say it's your girl friend?

Speaker 1

Oh?

Speaker 2

I'm literally just like confusing because every caller has been gay.

Speaker 1

Oh.

Speaker 2

I was like, did you right away or did that develop over time? And you're like, hello, wake up, this is not the last five callers. Okay, So then she didn't beat you up and that's all it took to be fast friends.

Speaker 3

Well, you know there was there was other stuff too, but yeah, no she I didn't at the moment at that part. And I was like, oh, you're my best friend. Yeah, but she became my best friend over that year.

Speaker 1

Yeah, sweet acknowledge her violence towards you.

Speaker 3

Well, she this is the thing is the way she she's the way she had said it. She's like, oh, Lindsay the girl from the other schools in Lindsay was.

Speaker 2

Dead on this podcast, Gay and dead. That's the title.

Speaker 5

Nice junior.

Speaker 3

I okay, yeah, well I think it's interesting how people like from adolescence to being an adult. Like we've been friends for twenty five years yea, and we went to Catholic high school and she was like super super hardcore Irish Catholic. And then you know, you grow up and realize there's no got well not not for everyone. But she's not told it, not really just at all anymore.

Speaker 1

Watch it.

Speaker 2

So I did not come to that conclusion.

Speaker 3

No, oh, but I mean we have a we have another best friend. I knew from that. We're still friends with super super religious. She's going to join a nunner a couple of years ago.

Speaker 2

It doesn't matter. Yeah, you still defiled the House of God. No, I'm just kidding. Wait, so what do you have any fights with this friend? Like do you have any kind of like good question hot button issues with this friend or do you feel like you're relatively peaceful?

Speaker 10

You know what?

Speaker 3

We she's like my number one supporter, but she does real me. And if I'm being too outrageous.

Speaker 1

Accountability, what do you do that's outrageous?

Speaker 3

I like hijinks and mischief. I can't it's just I don't know, I'd like through high school and stuff. I liked, uh, you know, having fun. And she was very much like buy the book, following rule like rule abiding and just so and so thoughtful of everyone all the time. So yeah, yeah, it's we have never had a big kick. Have you guys ever had a huge fight?

Speaker 5

Not really?

Speaker 2

I mean I was about to hang up on you and call you unrelatable, but I guess it's true. We haven't really had a much of fights either.

Speaker 10

No.

Speaker 1

I mean, I feel like if there's something difficult you but part of it is like we're long distance.

Speaker 2

We're in a long we're in a long distance friendship. So I do think it takes some of the heat off, like the day to day annoying things that people do or could get into. You think we'd fight if we live closer, we'd be throwing dishes. They're like, no, so why why did you leave the door open? Chelsea? Shut up, you ugly bench. You're like, fuck you and the horse you rode in on. I'm like wait wait, you're like yeah. I'm like, You're like, fuck you. That was my windshield, you asshole. Oh my god.

Speaker 9

The sane, all right, the old Irish guduy card the Irish.

Speaker 2

I can't do an Irish accent. We were all car the Irish.

Speaker 1

I can't either. That one's hard. I think the Irish one and the Scottish one is hard for me.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Like why are why are these Australian actors so good at doing They're so are they so good at doing American accents? Do you think it's easy for an Australian to do an American accent? Because the Australian accent is darn near impossible.

Speaker 1

I think it's hard to do it.

Speaker 2

You know, it would be so funny. Actually, this would be a funny sketch on us now, like an American Australian TV show, Like you know how there's all these Australian actors here really doing good Americans, but like having a bunch of Americans playing Australian. Actually, this is a bad idea. As I'm saying it, I'm like, hum, there's nothing that.

Speaker 1

I could go south, Yeah, blow up in your face.

Speaker 2

It would just be so bad.

Speaker 1

That's so bad, And we would get roasted. Ah, they roasted roasting.

Speaker 4

Ton tony little roasting's.

Speaker 2

Little really bad little roasting. This is what me and stride do is We just sing and sing and sing and sing and.

Speaker 1

See everyone did that, and then I realize they don't. But it's so natural for us.

Speaker 2

I know, like always though yeah, always has been. It's like, yeah, it's like it's almost like, you know, a good friend. It's like being by yourself, almost like where you just would act how you would act if I'm alone in my house, I'm making noise, same and my home. You know what's crazy? Actually, I was editing the podcast with

Laura and I was annoyed about something. I was you know, how you drive and run through something in your head, you know what I was annoyed about actually, and I started I started saying out loud my argument about it while she's playing the podcast, and I've been like giving her notes verbally and so she pauses the podcast. Literally,

here's what happened. I convinced myself that I'm just driving and listening to a podcast in my car, and then I'm like talking to myself about this thing that I'm pissed about, and she's like what, And I'm like, oh, uh no, I'm just just kidding and raving with you on the horn like a fucking lunatic. What's your routine

when you look in the mirror. Do you have like a routine of like like like makeup, Yeah, like makeup or outfits, anything you say to yourself once you're like like, I feel like I would always be like hi, I'm Chelsea, like.

Speaker 1

Or I'll be like I feel like I'll look at myself and I'll be like, do you want a fresh face? Or do you want drama or do you want like poudy or flaty? Like I come up with these ridiculous themes and then just go there, Yeah, end up recreating the same thing.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I know I was gonna say. I think, oh, I'm gonna do like an editorial cheek and you know, just back from Cancun, and then it's like they all just turn into haggard, washed out, oh fucking broad.

Speaker 1

I go through phases yeah makeup, Yeah.

Speaker 2

I know I do too. Where sometimes I'm like, damn, I nailed this, like it's so good and then I can never recreate it and I can never Or I look at an old photo, I'm like, how did I do that?

Speaker 1

I know I've got their photos and been like ooh nice or something like why did I what color?

Speaker 7

Is that up?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 2

What color was that? I don't even know what color that was? And now that I get makeup done for work more often, like I don't even enjoy doing my makeup that much anymore, because it's like I enjoy, you know, when they're like stars, they're just like us. And then it's like someone looking like shit with no makeup on in sweatpants. It's like, yeah, because they just had their makeup done for twelve hour days for five days straight or whatever it was, and it's like the last thing

you want to do is how you take it? I know, And I used to enjoy it, like I used to enjoy the routine of it and playing around.

Speaker 1

And I didn't start wearing makeup until after college. Like really, yeah, my mom did my makeup for prom?

Speaker 2

My godmother, I'm trying to remember your prom, Jess, because mine was co white to the dress. I'll post a pick to the site. It was emerald green off shoulders like an a line skirt like very fifties looking, and I curled my hair atrociously.

Speaker 1

Oh, we used to sign our handwritten notes that way.

Speaker 5

Speaker 2

I know, I say K I T sometimes when people don't know what it is, keep in touch. But I was trying to think of one for when you don't want to keep in touch, keep in touch, peace out. No, I'm trying to think of different acronym for k I T. Keep in touch, keep intravenous, keep.

Weren't you do? Movie phone voice? To add another layer, movie bo movie you would like to say, keep it trucking, keep it track is in theaters one three four seven. It's crazy how big a cultural phenomenon movie phone was and it doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 1

But why it is history?

Speaker 2

I guess because why would you.

Speaker 1

Sit and wait on the phone. You can google it now, just see everything. Yeah, remember how we used to call the time the phone number?

Speaker 2

Did we?

Speaker 1

It was popcorn? The number was pop Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2

Speaker 1

And so you would you could call the time to get like the like the most precise timing because we didn't have cell phones to get with that.

Speaker 2

Whoa that I don't even hardly remember.

Speaker 1

Maybe that was black people.

Speaker 2

We called all the time. Actually, I mean yeah, I don't really remember that. It's like I think Swiss watches were in play.

Speaker 1

Uh No, I wouldn't have had a Swiss. It would have been a Wiss.

Speaker 2

A smiss a near Smiths my shrug lunch my dad when I was young. I can't I have said this before. I'm one hundred percent sure of it. He got me. He goes, you can have five pairs of shoes at Payless shoe sores, or you could have one pair of shoes at like k Swiss or something, And I was like five, hello. So it's like we got in the car on our way to Payless shoe source. Thanks Daddy, five peers of shoes. You're the best, dad? Well I was.

Speaker 1

I mean we lived at Payless, had to.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

The only thing that I protested was the pro wing. So I could do the flats, I could do the church, I could do like the Keds esque.

Speaker 2

Yeah, but it is crazy because I was attacked for wearing these.

Speaker 1

The pros I was attacked. Did you get pro wings?

Speaker 1

Now?

Speaker 2

This needs to be a picture on the pod.

Speaker 1

Let me look at proing pro wings were they were the knockoff shoe. So if Nike had, you know, or like, let's.

Speaker 2

Say the first thing. People also ask what happened to pro Wing shoes? The shoes are discontinued, you'll be happy.

Speaker 1

To Yeah, too many people getting harassed. Oh my gosh, inside of too much of mine?

Speaker 2

It says, what was Payless Shoes called before? In the US? The company went public in nineteen sixty one and was renamed as Volume Shoe Corp. What actually has more dignity to it than payless shoes?

Speaker 1

Payless is so literal.

Speaker 2

Yeah, Volume shoe Corpse WHOA didn't even mean to get that. But if you walk into school with your Volume Shoe Corpse on, no one's gonna say shit, they're like Volume Shoe corp Well, I never well.

Speaker 1

Less shoe source like the logo was bright, like yellow humiliate. It was humiliating. So there was no way to play off your poverty. You just had to go in there and be and live broke.

Speaker 2

I dedicate this up to pro wings do you as well as Volume Shoe corp Aw the cooler name, the cooler iteration of payless shoes. But shout out to everyone in payless shoes right now, who cares? Who gives a shit?

Speaker 1

Whatever, whatever it humbles you, you'll have your day. I think it's important it humbles you. These kids nowadays don't know anything about struggle shoes, so I just go straight to the Jordans.

Speaker 2

To be honest, we're both on the rag. We forgot to talk about. And I don't even feel like I can flee anywhere on a car. What being on the rag feels like you're just on a Merry Go round for hell? So I don't even feel like I can have that dynamic exit. It's more just like on America Round. And this is the music.

Speaker 1

Yeah, get me out of here. The accuracy I ran through one tube, but in tenus regularly used to work well for me.
