Schizo

The speaker is realizing how odd it is to talk to themselves in an empty room and compares it to doing a podcast. They mention wanting to start a podcast to tell their stories and entertain listeners. The speaker is from Oklahoma and shares some personal details. They discuss a questionnaire with conversation starters, including topics like food preferences, ideal jobs, and beliefs in aliens and reincarnation. They also talk about their dislike for animals and share some funny stories about their experiences with pets and childhood beliefs. I'm just now realizing how odd it is to sit in an empty room and talk to yourself. And I feel like a lot of people with podcasts do that. And I think it might be a sign of schizophrenia, because I'm having a weird time. But, anywho. So, this is Addie. Addie. Addie Scott. This is Addie, and this is going to be my podcast, I guess. This is so weird, it's just going to take some getting used to, so I'm sorry. But, yeah, I'm doing this for a school project, but I've been wanting to start one forever. I've been told by probably over a thousand people or more that I should have a podcast to tell my stories, or talk about my life, or just be funny, or so people can hear my voice, and stuff like that. So, I thought this was the perfect opportunity, you know? But, yeah, I don't even know where to start, really. I didn't really give myself any parameters about what it was going to be about, necessarily. There's a couple things, but I don't want to name it one thing, because I want to be able to talk about whatever I want. Maybe one episode I talk about true crime, and then one episode's conspiracy, and then one episode's politics, you know? And I'll try to keep it, I don't think I'm funny, necessarily, but it'd be nice if I could entertain you guys, because I think very serious podcasts are boring. But, yeah, anyway, so I guess, hopefully I'll get used to this after a minute, because it's really weird right now. But, I, oh, where should I even start? So, my name's Addie, I am from Oklahoma, live in Oklahoma, born and raised. Weird fact about me, I can't whistle, that's what I say in class every time I get asked that. I am almost 23 years old, and, yeah, that's about it, I don't think anybody cares about any of that. So, let's see here, so I got this little questionnaire, and it's weird conversation starters. So I thought this could be, you know, like, cool way you guys can get to know me, but also you can use them to get to know a friend, or, you know, have a little conversation starter with somebody, on a date or something. So anyway, the first one says, what would you eat if you could only eat one kind of food for the rest of your life? I don't get this question, because I'm like, is it asking like what kind of food, like Mexican, Italian, like barbecue, or is it saying like one item, one type of food, like one item? But, it says one kind of food, so, I don't know, but if it was like, something like, I don't really know if it would be, it wouldn't be Mexican, I don't think Italian either, I do love sushi, I'm a big seafood person, but, one kind of food for the rest of my life, I honestly think I'd have to go with steak, and I'm not even a huge meat eater necessarily, but like, yeah, I like steak for sure, but, anyway, question number two, who would you choose to work for a day in the office if you could trade jobs with anyone, and why? Joe Biden, and I think you guys can use context clues from the rest of the episode, figure out what kind of person I am and why I would want to step into that crazy old man's shoes for a day. So, number three, what's the craziest thing you've ever done to meet a deadline? That's boring, so I'm going to skip that one. Let's see, yeah, these are all kind of boring. Deep, weird questions to ask. Number one, what choice would you make differently if you could go back and do it? Yeah, all these questions kind of suck, I'm not going to lie. Who would you be, and why, if you could transform into any historical figure? I think like a pirate or something, I don't know. I know that it's not like in the movies, but if it was like in the movies, I'd want to be a pirate, like Blackbeard or something. Ideally, Jack Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow, but he's a fictional character. Do I believe in aliens or life reincarnation? Yes and yes, sort of. But aliens, I feel like for sure, just because it's fun to think about. I'm like, there's no way that we're literally the only things out there. There's like, you know, anyway. And Area 51, I know they've got some crazy stuff up there. It's like why I want to get a job in the CIA or the FBI or something just to get to Area 51. That's all I care about. Life reincarnation, funny story. My best friend in high school showed me this YouTube video where you can do like past life regression. Like, so it's basically like past lives and then you're reincarnated. And I did it and I was like, this is stupid, this is not going to work. And it was so weird because like I really have trouble focusing with stuff like that and like meditating. Because my mind just goes a million miles an hour all the time. But it was so weird. So like you start at your feet and you like, it's like walking you through this like two hour ordeal. And it's like getting you into like the state that you need to be in. So I'm in it for a long time laying in bed. Like I was in high school, complete silence. And I was like looking out at a beach. And then all of a sudden I look down at my feet are in sand on this beach. And I was like, huh. So then it's like almost like a movie when they're like slowly panning up on someone. Except it was from my perspective. And it was like my eyes but they were slowly moving up my body from like, I don't know, it's hard to explain. Like it was like I was just looking down at my torso and my legs. Like you can't see your own face or your head or anything, you know. So and then I keep going. And like I don't know. I'm scared to say this because like I don't know what's like cultural appropriation or like what the right terms are. Because I know like I don't think gypsy is a super toothed term that people like to use. But that's the only way I can describe it. It reminded me of like the gypsy costumes that kids would wear when we were little. But like, you know, the flowy see-through skirt with all like the jewels on it and stuff. And then like the little head scarf and all the bangles and stuff. And it just went up and then it gets to my torso and then it just ended. And it took me out of it. But I was like, I don't know. I just think that was really cool and I'll always remember that. So next question. Which animal, if any, would you pick as a pet and why? Nothing. I hate animals. Like I always tell people like because when I say that they're like, you're a horrible human being. And I don't hate animals. Like I don't want them all to die or anything. I just am not an animal person and I didn't grow up in a family like that. And any dog I ever had got hit by a car or something because we lived in the country. So it was like I would start to love a dog and bond with it and everything. And then, you know, bye-bye, spot. So, yeah, anyway. And my parents would always lie to me. Off topic again, but I think that's the whole point of the podcast. But I get why I'm so screwed up when it comes to animals and people are like, what's wrong with you? And I feel like if I told them the stories I have, they would be like, okay, that makes sense. Why? You're weird about animals. So my parents would always like, they were just so young when they had me and my sister. I only have one sister. And they were very young when they had us. So like they were obviously growing up with us and learning as they went. So they like didn't have it in them obviously to tell us that like hopefully no kids are listening to this. But like the tooth fairy's not real. Santa's not real. Like we believed a little late into life, like to where we should have been embarrassed. And like that's, and I truly believed that Santa was real until I was like 11 or 12 years old. Maybe even 12 or 13. And my mom, we were in the car one day and I was like, would not stop pestering her. And I was like, Mom, like just tell me, I'm a grown-up. Like just tell me and I swear I won't get mad. And she was like, okay, like you promise you won't get upset. And I was like, yeah, I promise. And she was like, well, Santa's real, but mean your dad or Santa. And I like flipped out and started crying. So I kind of understand why. I always wonder that like if I have kids, if I would tell them that Santa was real or not or like the tooth fairy. Speaking of the tooth fairy, another funny story. My sister was digging through my parents' stuff when she was little, probably like five or six maybe. And my mom is so weird and she like loves to keep knickknacks and things and no mentos, I guess. Pretty sure she has our umbilical cord somewhere. Anywho, but she kept our teeth. And I thought that was like very normal growing up that moms kept like their kids' teeth. Because I found out the tooth fairy wasn't real. But my sister found her little, like it was almost like a jewelry box, but it had all of our baby teeth in it. And my sister was like, what the hell is this? Like was so confused and was like asking my mom. And my mom panicked. And both of my parents are like this, but like they would panic. And instead of just telling you the truth like a normal person, they would come up with some big elaborate lie. That was just made it ten times worse. And she was like, she used to be in the military. And she was like, those are my friend's teeth from the army that I kept. So yeah, I feel like that's just way worse than saying the tooth fairy is not real. So for a long time my sister thought my mom was like a serial killer. I mean, I can understand why she would think that. And then like going back to the animal thing, I completely got off topic. But like one time my aunt was messing with this dog and being mean to it. It's one of our dogs and it bit her. So they said that he had rabies even though he didn't. And my dad said they took him to live on the farm. And I found out years later that he took it out to the farm and shot it. I don't know if I'm allowed to say that. And okay, so me and my sister always shared dogs. So we were horrible at taking care of them because it wasn't like our dog. And finally I got my own dog basically when I was probably like 11 or 12. And her name was Sadie and I loved her more than anything in the world. And I played with her every day and I took care of her and I fed her, took her on walks, stuff like that. But you have to remember we grew up in the country. So like it wasn't like we were taking dogs on a walk with a leash. Like you just let them run wild. So I would go away to church camp for a week and I come back and she's disappeared. And I was like what the hell? Like where's my dog? And my parents told me she ran away. So I was really upset because I was like it's because I wasn't here. And like she doesn't like my parents and my sister. So she ran away to find me. And every night for like a week I would go out on the porch and be like Sadie. And like yell her name into the distance for like an hour. And my mom would just stand at the door and stare at me. And I thought at the time it was because she like was looking for her too. But that's not why. So when I was little I was obsessed with my parents' phones. And I just thought they were fun because I was nosy. So I'd read all their texts when I was like pretty young to be reading their texts. And I would just, that was my TikTok. That was my entertainment. Like I would just scroll through their texts. And I found a text from my mom to my aunt, her sister. And it said Addie's dog got hit by a car and I don't know how to tell her. And she was like she keeps going out every night and yelling for her. And I don't know what to do. So then I freak out obviously. And I was like you're a horrible person. So yeah anyway after that I kind of was like no on the animals. So you know we had a couple cats. I don't think we ever had any more dogs. But yeah I've had bad experiences with pets. So I just stay away from them. But I'm also allergic to cats and dogs. So anywho. And they're kind of gross honestly. What's the most unusual way you've ever prepared a lunch meal? I mean I don't know if this really counts. But my senior year of high school we got off campus lunch that year. And I would go home and pop a bag of popcorn every single day. And that's what I had for lunch every day was popcorn. And I wouldn't eat breakfast. So literally like my meal for the day would be popcorn. And sometimes I would spice it up and sprinkle a couple chocolate chips in there. And they would melt. You should try it. It's amazing. But also we were like an ingredient household. So me and my sister were always doing weird stuff like that. My mom used to eat saltines with butter on them. So we were always just making weird concoctions and stuff with the ingredients we had. So this next question. What's the most bizarre food combination that you've tried and actually enjoyed? I mean the saltines and butter thing does kind of throw people off. But I think that's sort of normal. I don't know. That's a hard question though. I don't know. Do I believe in aliens? I already asked that. So I didn't know why I asked it again. What guidance would you offer to yourself if you could speak with them now? So I'm wondering if it means with your younger self. Because I mean if I could talk to myself now I would. I don't know. High school me I would say get more involved honestly. Because I don't miss high school whatsoever. I did not peak in high school and I was kind of a loser. But when I look back at the age I am now. I look back at yearbooks and stuff. And I'm barely in it. And then like my childhood best friend. She was very active in school and activities and sports and stuff. And she's in like every other picture and I just love looking at them. And then I look for myself and I'm like oh there's two whole pictures of me. And one of them is the one of my face. Like the school picture. And then one was like I don't even know. I was on academic team. Maybe it was from academic team. But I don't know. I think that like I was a pretty good girl. I was a good teenager. I did what my parents said. And I did good at school. And I was just really into music. So like I was just always going to concerts and festivals and things. I went to Coachella when I was 17. Which for an Oklahoma kid that's pretty cool. But it was amazing. I think if I went now I would hate it. But as a 17-year-old it was amazing. But let me think about this. So another thing I would say is to just like try to live in the moment and enjoy it more. Because like freshman year I was a little bit more like doe-eyed, excited. Because I really thought high school was going to be like in the movies where like people hang out at their lockers and talk. And like they eat lunch on the grass and stuff. And then I got to high school and was like, oh, this sucks. It's nothing like the movies. And then my sophomore year I really felt that way. And then school started actually being hard for me because it had never been hard for me. And I was like, well, I don't want to do this. Like I had never done homework or studied in my life. So I was like I'm not starting now. And I graduated high school with a 3.75. And I think if I gave one shit I could have graduated with a 4.0, but I didn't really care. And honestly my junior year I just kind of mentally checked out and was like wanted to be out of there. And that was when the online school was getting really popular. So like everybody was leaving school to go to online school. And I would have hated it so I'm glad my parents said no. But I begged my parents to let me graduate early. And they were like, no, you have to suffer high school like everybody else. And I feel the exact same way now. And I'm so glad that they did that to me because that's why society is the way it is today is because of stuff like that. Like, oh, you don't want to go to high school and do the work? Yeah, you can do online school. Or you're getting bullied. That's a whole other subject that I really want to do a whole episode on. But it's like I know bullying is horrible. And this podcast, I wanted to say this earlier, but like I probably would get canceled if anyone other than my professor was actually listening to this. Hello, Dr. Boyles. Because I feel like I am probably going to be very politically incorrect and have like unpopular opinions. But you also have to remember that I grew up in Oklahoma and that's different from someone who grew up in like New York or California. But from my point of view, like bullying to an extent, and not really in elementary school, middle school, but high school, like I just have always like I was bullied and I was mean to the bullies and they left me alone. Like they thought that they could pick on me. And I never got into a physical fight until I was in college. But people stopped messing with me because I would like make fun of them back and be like, you're a jerk. Like, you know what I mean? And I would always stand up for the other kids that got bullied. And I would be like, try to teach them to stand up for themselves. And it's just hard for me when people say they were bullied because I'm like, why didn't you punch them in the face? I know it sounds stupid, but like I genuinely don't understand. Like, I just don't get it. Like, I would literally punch someone in the face if they were being as mean to me as some people say that they had it in high school. And thankfully, I didn't have it that bad. And I tried to watch out for people that got bullied because everybody was kind of scared of me. But anywho, yeah, I just like, I kind of want to make myself margarita for this. But anyway, I got off topic. But yeah, we were talking about high school. But yeah, I would just say, try to enjoy it while you're there. Because I was miserable the last like two years, basically, of high school. Like, after I started driving, everything just went downhill because I was like, well, what's there to look forward to after this? And now when I think back, like, 17 was like a great year for me. Like, I had a great high school experience and stuff. But it was more like the age I was and the things I did outside of school. But when it came to like sports and school and stuff, I just was like matured out of it. And I passed everyone that I knew, most of the people I knew. So I was like, I'm over this. I want something different. I want something more. And nobody else really was like that except a few friends that I had made in high school. And yeah, so anyway, I don't know where I was going with that. I got off work to do this podcast. So that's nice. I'm grateful for that. I hate this question. If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be? I don't know. I hate this question. Like, maybe just unique. I don't know because I'm really not that different from other people. But maybe, I don't know. That's a hard question. And I feel like you can't do that with yourself because nobody gets it right. You have to ask other people. So something weird. This is, what's one fear you've overcome and how did you do it? And I know I'm going to sound like a cocky, annoying, like, pick me. And I don't mean it that way. But I've always, like, it's weird because the older I've gotten, the more I've realized it. But I really not, like, I don't fear things, like, physical things. And, like, I'm not scared of stuff. And, like, even if it is a little scary, I'm still going to do it or, like, not show that I'm afraid. But then my whole life I've had, like, severe, like, debilitating anxiety. So it's like, like, if you tell me to go jump off a plane or, like, go crawl through a cave or something, I'm like, hell yeah, let's do it. And then if you were, like, go to a job interview, I'm, like, sweating bullets and, like, turn purple. And I'm, like, oh, God, and I've gotten way better at it. And that's another topic I will cover is how people are, like, with mental illness and things today. And how I think that, like, my parents forcing me to, like, basically get over my anxiety. And they were sympathetic, don't get me wrong. But they basically forced me to get over it. And I still have anxiety, but I do things that I need to get done. Like, I take phone calls. I make doctor's appointments. I go do stuff that I don't want to do. I, you know, can go to an interview. I can make conversation with literally anyone in the world. So, like, I probably could make conversation with someone that didn't speak the same language as me somehow. I would find a way to make conversation with them. So, anywho. If you could eliminate one negative thought or habit from your life, what would it be? So, the first thing that came to my mind is, like, negative thought being, like, I'm not going to amount to anything, maybe. Because I'm in my last semester of college. And I'm just doing the thing that I realize my generation is having a huge problem with. And it's that, and it really is third world problems because, like, it's not a problem. But it's, like, we have so many, like, resources and options and chances right now and everything that it's, like, we literally have the world. Like, the world is our oyster. Like, we, oyster. The world is our oyster. At the palm of our hands, like, we can do whatever we want. We can become whoever we want. And it sounds amazing in theory. But then when it comes down to it and you have to make a decision, you're like, oh, like, I don't know if I want to be a yoga instructor or, like, a scuba diving instructor or a massage therapist, which is what I went to school for before college. Or if I want to get into public relations and be, like, a business girlie. Because I know for a fact I am not a corporate person. And the thought of having to wear slacks every day makes me want to eat nails. So, yeah. But we will talk about that. I'm going to try to keep this thing going. I'm being for real. And honestly, the longer I'm doing this, the more I'm getting used to it. And I always hear people say, like, just do it. Like, if you want to start a podcast or a YouTube channel or a company or something. They're like, just do it. And your first episode is going to be absolutely terrible. And no one's going to listen to it. But then you just keep getting better and better. And you get more listeners. And then maybe you could turn it into something. And maybe I could just use this as a little journal. Because, you know, hopefully, I don't know if anybody's going to listen to it. But I don't really care. Another thing that I was thinking about for this podcast is I think it will be a good outlet for me. What's the word I'm looking for? Like, talking, I guess. Because I live alone. And I am alone the majority of the time. Like, a lot of the time. And I don't talk to anyone. So then when I see people, I, like, talk their head off to the point where, like, my throat starts hurting. Because I have vocal nodules. But I think that the reason I do that is because I miss people and don't get to see them. So then when I see them, I, like, go to Pam. And I'm like, I want to have, like, a six-hour lunch with them. And they're like, I have places to be. So, yeah. And I've been told my whole life that I talk too much. So I feel like anybody that has a podcast probably talks too much. So I feel like I'm with my people, you know. Let's see here. Okay. I'm kind of over this. Because I kind of just want to get into, like, I'm tired of talking about myself. Like, I want to get into, like, my opinions about things and controversial. And one of my biggest things about this podcast is I just want people to say, be able to say whatever. Like, obviously not, like, openly, like, hate speech or something. Like, I won't let someone do that. And if they did, they, like, would not, I wouldn't put it in there and I would never talk to them again. But I just want people to be comfortable. Because I feel like in this day and age, people are terrified to say anything for fear of repercussions or getting canceled or something. And, like, when I say, say anything, I mean being, like, I think that people should get bullied because it builds character. Like, I know that's a controversial opinion. But it's, like, you know, that's different than saying, like, something racist or homophobic or something. Because I don't jive that way. But also, I'm, like, looking for possible names for the podcast. And one of them is literally agree to disagree. So I thought that a cool idea would be for me to, like, have people on that I know don't have the same views as me on topics. And then we have, like, a, you know, fun, like, not screaming at each other or getting angry debate. And then we just say, let's agree to disagree. Like, you can believe in maybe one of us can sway the other. But I'm sure that's impossible. But, yeah, I would definitely like to have some guests on here. Because I don't know. I might do it again by myself. But I feel like it would be more fun and longer if I had somebody here to discuss with me. And, like, I lose my train of thought a lot when it's just me. Because I'm, like, doing a puzzle right now. So I'm obviously, like, yes, I'm 87 years old. But I'm doing a puzzle right now. So I'm kind of sidetracked. But I honestly really enjoyed this, though. So I'm going to edit this. And I'm going to turn it in. And I think I'm going to try to put it on Spotify. But, yeah, this is me. And this is what I'm doing. And if you don't like it, just don't listen. It won't hurt my feelings. And if anyone does listen to this, you know, tell me what you think about what I said. But anywho, I say anywho a lot. Another, like, title or name for the podcast that I was thinking of was, you know what I mean? And then one of them is too harsh. And then one is what a loser. And then one is let's be for real. Or let's be for real, dude. Or let's be for real, man. And then one is let's get real. So I'm still kind of, you know, I'll probably title this episode. And I have to title the podcast. So I'm not really sure what I will pick. But when you look at this, I'm sure you'll see what I picked. And if it's horrible, I'll try to change it maybe. And I don't really know all the rules, like copyright and stuff and plagiarism. I don't know anything about that. So I'm just going to do whatever I want and talk about whatever I want until I get in trouble for it. And then maybe I'll figure it out from there. I don't know. Because my theme song, I know what I want it to be. And when I have something in my head, it's going to happen. I'm not just going to let it go. I'm like, nope, I want that song. So, anywho. And I do, this is so off topic, but I hate generic elevator music because people are scared to use. Because don't you have to get permission from the artist or something or their family? I don't know. But I'm like, they're putting that shit out there for me to listen to. And, like, everybody knows Thriller. Like, they're going to sue me because I used the opening of Thriller. Like, I don't know. And that's a whole other subject. I could go on forever about, like, Hollywood, celebrities, politicians, CEOs, money hungry, greedy, Walmart people. Like, anywho. I'm actually really enjoying this, but I don't want to get into too much on my first episode, obviously. I was just kind of, like, I know I was kind of everywhere and probably didn't even keep your attention for two seconds. But I was just trying to kind of, like, have an introduction episode so that people, I just didn't immediately get into, like, crazy shit by myself. And people are like, what's wrong with this girl? So, you know, know a little bit about me. Because, like, I feel like it does make a difference. Like, if I was a... Oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, I got my puzzle. I got a piece. If I was, like, 40 and living in Idaho, I feel like it would be a very different podcast. Than if I was living in Connecticut and was filthy rich and wanted to make a podcast. But I feel like, and I've said this my whole life, and I know everybody probably says this about their state. And I haven't, like, met lots of people from other places. Like, I have, but most of them have lived in Oklahoma for a while. So they kind of have turned into an Oklahoman like Dr. Boyle. Hello. But I feel like I've always said this, and I had this epiphany in high school. But I said, I feel like my family, but a lot of people in Oklahoma that I grew up knowing and met and stuff. Like, have very big personalities. And, like, they're kind of forced to have, like, good personalities. Because it's like, you can't fall back on being like, I live in LA. Or like, yeah, I'm a Nepo baby. Like, my mom's Julia Roberts. Like, you know what I mean? Because I feel like people can get away with having the personality of a potato chip or something. Because of stuff like that. And I could probably name 75 different Nepo babies right now that have not one brain cell and no personality whatsoever. And I will, at some point, I will name drop. Because why wouldn't I? You know, they're, like, ruining the earth and the economy. And they couldn't care if I live or die. So I can say whatever I want about them. But maybe I'll start doing one of those podcasts that's, like, a blind item. I don't know if you have ever seen that. I don't really know what it is. But from what I've seen, it looks like they're just, like, talking, like, mad smack. And gossiping about celebrities and stuff. And I feel like some stuff is, like, they definitely just made that shit up. Like, it's so, you know, I would never do that in, like, my career or, like, if I was a journalist or something. Because I think that's, like, the lowest you can get as a journalist and any type of, like, communications person, honestly. I mean, in any job, too. But, like, I think a lawyer kind of has to, you know, how to lie a little bit. But know how to lie a little bit. But anyway. And I am not a good liar. So if I do say something about a celebrity, I'm going to start laughing and you'll know that I'm lying. Because, like, I have heard people say that my tone doesn't really change when I'm, like, being, like, sarcastic. If I'm being serious. If I'm lying. If I'm joking to see if somebody will notice. Like, my tone doesn't really change. So a lot of people don't catch it. And since you can't see my facial, I'm a very facially expressive person. So I feel like the fact that you can't see my facial expressions. Maybe I'll turn it into, like, one of the video podcasts at some point. But definitely not right now. But I feel like a lot of you will not understand, like, my sense of humor. And maybe keep watching. And maybe you will understand it at some point. But I do have a very unique sense of humor. My whole family does. And we all have the exact same sense of humor. And I've met very few people on the earth that have the same sense of humor. It's a bigger majority that kind of understand it once they get to know you. But, like, I remember my aunt, who I'm very close with, and my mom's sister. They're best friends. She was my sophomore year English teacher. And it was her first year teaching when I was a sophomore at Newcastle. Not teaching, but at my school. So, she's, like, new to the school, whatever. And I remember, like, the first couple weeks, I would hear people whispering, because they had no idea I was related to this woman. And they'd be like, Ms. Joyner is such a bitch. I hate her. Just say mean stuff about her. And they'd be like, don't you hate Ms. Joyner? And, like, they'd be like, she's a psycho. Like, the jokes she makes, she's just horrible. And then people would randomly come up to me, like, six months into the school year and be like, okay, I don't know what the deal is. Because, like, I'm sure she's not, like, stalking you or something. But Ms. Joyner has a bunch of pictures of you in her classroom. And I'd be like, yeah, she's my aunt. And they'd be like, huh? And then, yeah, anyway. And the same thing happened with my dad. I mean, literally, I would go to school with people. Like, I went to school with some people in high school for four years. And I started at my school in kindergarten. So I knew some of those people for, like, 13 years. And all the people I grew up with knew who my parents were. But it was so funny because somebody that was new to the school, they would come up to me, like, literally my senior year, I had been at this school my whole life. And they would come up to me and be like, is Coach Scott your dad? And I'd be like, yeah. And they'd be like, why did I not know that? I just saw a picture of you in his classroom. So, yeah, two of my family members, biological family members, worked at my high school. And it was a super big school, so that was super fun. But I didn't really care. I thought it was nice because I like my family. I've always liked my family better than, like, people my own age. So, but I have a very good group. I have a solid good group of friends right now that I think that I'm going to be with for a while, like till we die. So I'm doing good now. But in high school, I would have much rather, I preferred the company of, like, 45-year-old women, you know. My mom doesn't drink wine. She thinks it's gross. So, like, you know, whipped cream brunettes or something. So, man, I drank a lot of whipped cream brunettes in high school because I'd steal it from her. So the smell of it now just makes me, like, want to die. But anyway, oh, and I was also going to say I don't want to leave her out. My Aunt Adrienne, she's not actually my aunt. She's a very close family friend, and she's like my aunt. But she also worked at the high school I went to. So there were a lot of people looking out for me. And then my childhood best friend that I'm still best friends with, her mother was our counselor. So it was like we always had eyes on us that we were not going to do anything we shouldn't have done. But we also thought we ran that bitch. So, like, we literally did whatever we wanted. And I knew I wasn't going to get in trouble for stuff because they were like, oh, Coach Scott is her dad. So, you know, that was nice. But anyway, this is going on 40 minutes, so I will shut up. I'm very excited for the next episode because I already have ideas about what I want to talk about. And I have ideas for guests, but all my friends have also been like they obviously want to be on it. So I'm like I want to have, like, some, like, experts on certain things and, like, people that I don't agree with. But I also want to give my friends their 15 minutes of fame, you know, because, like, I know this is going to go viral in two seconds because I'm so entertaining. But that was sarcasm, by the way. Hopefully you could tell. But anyway, I will shut up. And I'm going to edit this so that hopefully you don't have to listen to me mumbling over my words for 40 minutes. Hopefully I can make it way shorter. But, and Dr. Boyles, if you're still listening to this, I'm very sorry because you kind of have to. But anyway, I guess that's the end of it. It was nice talking to you guys, a.k.a. myself. I'm curious to see where this could go. But I actually had a pretty good time and I feel like maybe I can, like, use it as therapy or something. That's probably not healthy, but I'm poor and I don't have any time. So this is my therapy. Help me, I'm poor. I'm also a huge movie buff and my sister and my dad are, too. My mom is, too, but she's different because me and my sister are like my dad in the way that we will watch movies, like, over and over and over again and just be just as entertained like we watched it for the first time. And my mom, she's a movie buff and she loves movies, but she's the type where she's like, I'm watching it once and then I'm not watching it again. Except the worst movie in the world, A Christmas Story. She could watch that, like, every single day of her life and it makes me, like, that movie makes me, like, physically, like, violent. I hate Ralphie, but there's you. I really think that I, like, get uncomfortable and say any who a lot. So I'm going to try to get better at that because my friend Harley just started a podcast and it's obviously a lot more professional and serious than this and she's talking about, like, you know, mental health and she's very well spoken, so I don't think she says um or like barely at all. But, you know, I don't even really, I always say this, but I don't know what's coming out of my mouth until it comes out. Like, I don't think about what I'm going to say. It just, like, rolls out. So, and that's another reason why I think I'd get canceled in five seconds if I was famous or something. Because not once in my life have I thought about what I said before I said it. So, like, my manager one day came around the corner and I was telling somebody about this weird dream that I had had and I will talk about it because it was very odd. Maybe I'll do an episode about my weird dreams. But until then, but I was telling the story to one of my coworkers and my manager came around the corner and was, like, making a funny face and I was, like, what? And he was, like, every time I hear you open your mouth, you just say the most out-of-pocket shit I've ever heard. And I was, like, I'm going to take that as a compliment. He definitely didn't mean it as a compliment, but that's how I'm going to take it. So, yeah, but anyway, nice talking to you guys. Peace out. Um, bon voyage. Peace out, whatever. See you on the flip side, motherfuckers. I got to cut that out, but anyway, I will see you guys with the next episode. If anyone's listening, thank you. Goodbye. Adios. Peace out. Peace out. I hope you know that that was a Napoleon Dynamite reference, by the way.
