This week, Bree and Mendy dive into a listener's hilariously awkward high school story that involves perms, weed, and a surprising triumph in a calculus class. Plus, they share their own awkward moments and serenade you with a special song at the end. Don’t miss out on this 80s flashback that will have you laughing out loud and reminiscing about your own high school days.
Key Themes:
- Summertime awkward moments (FREE THE NIPS… maybe?)
- High school memories
- Awkward fashion and hairstyles of the 80s
- The adventures (and misadventures) of smoking weed in high school
- Unexpected academic triumphs
Listener Stories:

Special thanks, also to Mr. *****, my Latin teacher. If you read this, here's a note for you:
Gratias tibi ago quod eximium linguae Latinae doctorem, ac semper me deligendis ut numero 3 respondeas!(Any mistakes in this are due to my own poor study habits, and are not reflective of his teaching!)
