Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Chatterbox.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm Grace, I'm Sebastian, and.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Right now we're sitting at a plastic full up table
right here in Dexter Lawn with nothing but a couple
of mics, some headphones, and a sign taped to a
table that says.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What's something you are still keeping from your parents?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
So let's get straight into it, alrighty, So we have
our first guest.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
What is your name?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Svetlana.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm Grace, I'm Sebastian.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Hello, Sebastian.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So, Svetlana, is there something on your mind, something that
you're thinking of that you have kept hidden from your parents.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
All these years?
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yes, something very large. So the thing that first came
to my mind when I read this question was my
six month long relationship.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Senior your high school. Yeah, so you're you're broken up now?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Oh God? Done with fall quarter? Actually?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And what why did you have to keep a secret?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I think just because my parents are pretty strict and
I was just kind of scared, honestly to bring up
a relationship with them, so I just never did. That's
definitely the biggest secret I've ever kept from that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Is there anything like any qualities about the person that
you were dating that you thought your parents wouldn't like
at all.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well, my sister is currently and was best friends with
his sister. Oh so he knew. My parents knew, like
the family and all of that. So it's just kind
of like a weird I don't know. To me, it
felt weird to like bring up that I started dating
that girl's younger brother. So qualities about him that I
(01:44):
was nervous for my parents to find out about. Maybe
he was a little bit of a stoner, probably still
is not too sure, but a little bit of stoner.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
He's younger than me, so he's actually still in high school.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Okay, Yeah, I would say those two probably the biggest things.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, and you said your sister was best friends with
his older sister. Does she know or does his older
sister know?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yes, everyone his parents knew. Also, yes, just not my parents.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You don't worry that your parents did know, but they
just kind of let it slide.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I mean, I guess if that was the case, I
wouldn't really be worried, But I feel like they had
no idea.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Honestly, this is juicy.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We're getting. We're getting in the deep end here.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So what were like some of the crazy things that
you had to do to keep it a secret from them?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
So, I mean every time I'd go to his house,
I would just say I was going to his older sisters.
Like I would be like, oh, I'm gonna go hang
out with like I'm not gonna say her name. You know,
he's always older sister. That's pretty much it. It was just
like this sounds really bad, but like the lies just
in le will probably be like the craziest thing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
But I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do,
young love. It was my soulmate.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Damn wrong, Damn well now you know?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Now you know, did you like you said you thought
he was your soulmate? Did you like ever have a
moment where you're like, Okay, how are we gonna tell
my parents down the line, if we're gonna if we're
gonna stay again.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I honestly was like, okay, if we make it through
like a good chunk of freshman year, because it was
long distance.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh uh huh.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
For for a little bit, you know, I was like, Okay,
if we can do this through college long distance, then
then I've got to tell my parents. And I was
just gonna figure out a way. It's just gonna be like, hey, like,
I've been dating this guy for a long time, and
I just kind of wanted you guys to finally.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Be aware of it.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Like we'll burn that bridge when we get there.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, I was kind of Now.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I wasn't really stressing about telling my parents honestly, which, like,
in hindsights, probably something that should have made me feel
like this relationship is probably not the best because I
feel like you probably should want to tell your parents.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, yeah, do you foresee yourself ever telling them at
all in the future, like when you're forty years.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Old, Probably when I'm forty.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
If we like are walking down the street and stumble
across the sign like this again, I'll be like, hey,
by the way, parents, this is what I've been hiding
from you throw it out.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Fun fact they dated the family friends and.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Wow, that is that's juicy.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Really glad to share this with you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, I'm real glad you did.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It's made us closer, yes, definitely.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, thank you so much, Felana for bearing your truths,
telling us your secrets.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Of course. Thanks guys, well, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Nice to beat you.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
That's of luck with your conversations.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So thank you, thank you, Bye the well, Sebastian. I'm
wondering if you have any secrets that you've kept from
your parents now.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I mean, there's probably a few things, but uh, I
think I'm starving to come up with something because the
things that I'm still hiding are probably like disaster all
things considered. So it's like, what am I willing? Like
what am I unconsciously still hiding that does not have
like horrible, horrible consequence right afterward, And that's something of like,
(05:12):
holy shit, what the fuck broke?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes, yes, exactly?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Do you have anything?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I well, the first thing I thought of when I
came on over here was.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well to think of.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The one thing that I thought of coming on down
here was when my family and I moved houses and
we were kind of renovating this new house and there
was stairs on the new house. And I've never experienced
stairs before in my own home. I think I was
maybe eight, I want to say, seven or eight, And
(05:46):
so the stairs had like the handrail.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
On one side and then the other side was kind
of open.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
There's a little ledge, I want to say, And what's
the first thing you think of when you see like
an gradually inclined surface, when you're saying, years old, that's
a slide.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That is a slide.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I want to slide down.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I have to go down that Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And a little did I know they had just put
a fresh coat of paint on those stairs, probably lots
and lots of money to get people to paint the
inside of the house, including those stairs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Fresh paint starting starting.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Anew And I was wearing my little eight year old
shorts at the time because it was summertime, and those
eight year old shorts had two little ryanstones on the
back pockets. And so I said, Okay, now's my time.
I'm gonna hop nobody's here, nobody's watching. I'm gonna hop
up on that ledge and I'm gonna slide down this
thing and I'm gonna keep doing it for the rest
of my life.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Because it's awesome. So I got up on there and
I slid down.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It wasn't that fun because it was literally dry wall
on like a five inch wide surface. Going downhill didn't
go fast, had to kind of push myself down.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Wasn't really fun.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And I successfully got to the bottom and I stood
up and I looked and there's two big ass scrape
marks going down the stair rail that they had just
painted big ass marks and had tried to rub it off,
and it wasn't coming off. It was like ingrained in
there and still there. It stayed there for the ten
(07:14):
years that we lived there, And I vaguely remember my
parents going, oh, no, who did this, Charlie and my
brother Charlie, you did this? And I never took credit
for it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Is it not like any evidence on your pants or something.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I mean, they probably found out. They probably found out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was said that's not probably.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
My seven year old brain was like, and they never knew,
but no, they probably definitely knew. Yeah yeah, man oh man. Like,
imagine being like a forty year old mother and father
to four kids, and you just spent like a good
amount of your life savings buying this house, renovating it,
making it safe and a nice place for your family,
(07:55):
and your six year old menace just scrapes all of
the pink that you just put on.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So to this day, I never told him. I might
have known, but I've never told him.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, there's no admittance thing.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No admittance, no accountability there.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I feel like the what's it called, It's like that
thing for crimes where like too long has passed, the
statutes of limitations or whatever, Yeah, has has since passed
and nothing can happen to you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, what's your name?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
My name is Ian. I'm Grace Fashion.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Nice to meet you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Of course, of course we hear you.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Have a a yarn to spend, a story to tell.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I do I do somewhat be spinning that yarn? I
just want to me to go into it. Yeah, yes, yeah,
Well it was kind of hard to think about what
I've become pretty open, but generally I would say one
thing that I had from my parents is like I
was with this girl like junior year spring, and like
they knew about her. Sometimes no, inho okay, and sometimes
(08:56):
I would I would like sneak out of the house
to go see or like nothing like we just like,
you know, literally like a mile and a half away.
So it wasn't too bad or anything. But the first
time I did, hey, I tried to take my bike
out of my really loud basement, so that was a
whole thing. But basically I rode my bike and I
locked it up with just a wirelock on some fence
and me and me and her were like kind of
(09:17):
just hanging out on the field and then all of
a sudden, like there's someone messing with the bike. And
I was like, oh, so as somebody's bike right there,
they're getting messed with. And she's like, you're an idiot.
That's your bike and I was like, oh, right, that's
my bike. So then I like run over to him, like,
hey man, can you like not steal my bike? And
he was like almost through it. He had like bolt cutters.
He was almost through it, and he was like oh sorry,
and then he like biked away. So so then so
(09:42):
then it was like my bikelock always had like a
little like like big cut in it, and I thought
they noticed, but they never did because they're not really
bikelock inspectors. But then I like somehow made it back
and like and as I was like walking upstairs, my
mom was like eat is that you I was like yeah, sorry,
I was just calling her in the basement. I didn't
want to wake you guys up, and she was like okay,
and so genius. So that's the that's that's the lie.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
This is a convent.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Yeah, you know, trying to try to live out the
how I met your mother law as much as you can,
you know, try and find that.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Wow, that's that's a really clever thing to say. Oh,
I was talking to my ges, I.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Mean to be to be fair, to be fair, it was,
I mean a lot more stutters and a lot more
uzz than that. So I'm not gonna go out and
say that I was the smoothest. I'm actually a terrible liar.
But yeah, that's the secret.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Do you think you would ever tell them today?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Absolutely, I'd probably give it a few more years because
I think I think my dad would be most bad
about the bike lock and everything. I think you'd be like,
so why would you do that? But I think I
think I think even if I told them now, they'd
probably be chilling. I've got some pretty pretty great parents.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, thank you so much, Ian, of course, appreciate your truth.
Our next guest, Laura, Guys.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What what what are you hiding?
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Okay, this isn't something that I'm still but I think
it's a funny story. Nonetheless, when I was in third grade,
I used to remember and well, I don't even know
what year it was, when I was in third grade,
but there was a trend where people had like the
side banks. You know what I'm talking about, of course, yeah,
And they were like really blunt, just bad looking side banks,
and I decided that I needed those. So my mom
was out grocery shopping and I cut them by myself
(11:20):
in my bathroom and I was like, mmm, these look terrible,
so I cut them off.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
I just cut the banks off me.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
So I had like little stubs coming out of my
head and I was like, oh, like, I did a
great job.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Nobody's ever gonna know.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
And I'm like going downstairs going about my day and
I'm like, I thought I did such a great job.
I'm covering them up. And then my mom the second
she walks in the door, she goes, what the hell
did you do?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Literally?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
And I was I was so sure that they weren't
gonna know. I was so sure that they weren't going
to be able to tell.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
And she was like, what did you do?
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Anyways?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And I had to get bangs to cover the little bangs?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No the solution more bangs, Yes, okay, thank you. It
clearly wasn't enough the first time.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, you gotta do it again.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm Jack. Well all right, so it seems like only
one of you has has a story and the other
one is just along for the ride.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Yeah, so my good buddy Eli is supporting me today
I'm coming out with my truth.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Good.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
So back back a few years ago, my dad worked
for a vaping company, Enjoy, and at the time he
decided to buy, like other companies, vapes and test the product.
He's never been a smoker, just wanted to try the products,
see what they're really about. Sure, And this was maybe
my junior year of high school and I had been
(12:42):
smoking a little bit. Then I've quit, thankfully, but I
went and I smoked. I smoked his supply of jewel
pods and I've never told him.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The whole supply it was.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
It was maybe like to of the little cartridges.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah for a second, as imagining like squid word in
the Krabby Patty Vault, but instead it's like Jewel finds
his store.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I want to paint picture in my mind where were
the jewels stored?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Like where did you have to sneak to?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
So like my parents room had had their bed and
then kind of like a desk set up so alongside
it was like a shelf in the room, and he
kept it in the original like order box.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So it's maybe.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
This this large four inches by six inches, and I
would go in there, the stick is in there, the
pods are in there, and I would take it out,
use it.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Put it back.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
But yeah, so the the cartridges are still still in
that pack sitting in the room, and they never seen.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Sous in there.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Yeah, so eventually they will find out and see but
after that, yeah, actually, so I did those well at
the time, like I would do it, and I would.
I felt so guilty afterwards, but then I'll do it
again obviously.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah. But wow, such his addiction.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yeah, such his addiction. But no I ended up I
ended up quitting maybe month a month afterwards. That's good,
which it was. It was, it was a good choice.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It was like the guilt of that action like a
big motivating factor or was it just kind of like
one of the things partially.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Yeah, well, I mean for everyone out there, like being
addicted to nicotine is just like it's exhausting. Yeah yeah,
but yeah, that's that's what I'm hiding.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
From, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So so far we have secret girlfriends, bike locks, nicotine,
secret boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's a good mix of stuff.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
What are you guys names?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I'm anna, I'll we saw your little ears perk up
when you saw her sign.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you guys have a story in mind.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Something we're hiding from parents? Probably a lot.
Speaker 10 (14:53):
Yeah, I mean I definitely have one about like crashing
a car, but like not quite ashing. I just got it,
like stuck in a ditch off the side of a lot.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
I have one. I have one for sure.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Okay, So we're in our third year now, but my
freshman year Halloween, this was like, okay, so we're roommates now.
This is like the first time we went out together
freshman year, and.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
I think it's just a random. It was just a random.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
It was like right before parents weekend. You know, we
go out, we have a really great time class. I
actually don't remember the story that I that I could
tell you because but they remember. But my parents have
no idea that I was on academic probation for two
quarters because they caught me. Yeah, wow, what do you
mean they cut you?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So?
Speaker 10 (15:39):
Okay, basically, she lived in the yacht dorms and so
we went we walked back after our night out, and
this is such a funny story to tell again. But
they just she was you know, you know I have
like a Florida ceiling fort, and so I was, yeah,
it's like you know, I was like, okay, guys, like
(16:00):
let me, let me collect myself.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
And then I just wasn't responding to my friends.
Speaker 10 (16:03):
They were like, hey, girl, you left the door. Please
respond until they get an r ray to open the door.
And they ar's like, okay, can we just get everyone's names,
like We're just gonna check on you guys in the morning,
make sure you're okay. And I actually know any of
this happened. And then like ten days later, I get
an email in my inbox that's like like in my
school email that's like judiciary hearing. I have a what
(16:24):
because I'm like, I'm like a straight a type a
good e to my parents. Yeah, my parents have My
parents have no idea that I had to have a
judiciary hearing and that I was on academic.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
My freshman year.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, so they were like just the the hearing was
just like you were drunk in.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
The bathroom basically, yeah, you were like sick due to
probable alcohol intoxication. Like I had to do some like
online trainings like kind of you usually do. It wasn't
that big of a deal looking back on it, but
it's a really big deal because I was.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So scared Type eight more like type alcoholic.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Yeah, I really.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Apparently, So what it is like a dad thing to say,
you know what did the academic probation consist of?
Speaker 10 (17:09):
Like where they just like basically yeah, I was like,
if I messed up again, then I don't know.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
I think I could have been like suspended.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh yeah, you could have fun fact, I was on academic.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Which you can also get from your grade dropping too.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Low dropping right.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Yeah, so if you like mess up again or if
I had another like infringement, then I think they would
have suspected me at least four quarters.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Make sure you know that your acin classes exist, or
you drop that class.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
That happened to me freshman year two because.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I had an English ACNC course. I thought I dropped it.
I didn't. That was horrible anyway, academic probation h bro notes,
So I understand the pain of like, oh, ship, you're right,
because you're just panicking the whole time of like yeah, and.
Speaker 10 (17:57):
I have to text. It was like, hey, guys, I
just got this email, what's that about? And they're like, yeah,

Speaker 10 (18:04):
She had no idea it happened until she got this
email and she was like, no, what happened that night? Yeah,
because I know, like, oh, like I had a little
too much, but like I had a good night and
I ended up in my bed and like in the morning,

Speaker 10 (18:53):
We met in architecture studio because all archies have to
take the first year of architecture.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah, she was architecture magic. Yeah, And speaking of do
you have anything that you're hiding from your parents.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Oh well, Like the story that immediately came to mind
was in high school, my parents had Life.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Through sixty on me. That's how they still do.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
However, I had like a Samsung phone, so I found
out that I can spoof my location and like said
it wherever I want. So they had no idea where
it was ever, even thought they were very strict. Yeah,
So this one night I had my location like at
my friend's house, and my parents who I was there,
like thought I was there. I was there, and I
was off with some guy in my mini van, as
(19:36):
the last one does, and we had like gone off
like off the road into some like constructiony site for
some reason. And as I was like driving off of
this site, I like here, what was that? The guy
next to me is like we're stuck. Like there's no way,
(19:57):
Like I need to be home like ten minutes ago.
Oh what am I supposed to do? And so I'm like, okay,
well you get out of the car. You're gonna push,
I'm gonna like drive, and we're trying, like my car
is like stuck on this mound of dirt, like my
back wuls are not even touching the ground. Okay, I'm like,
oh my.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
God, what am I gonna do?
Speaker 10 (20:15):
I'm panicking. My parents think I'm at my friend's house.
I'm in this like random parking lot, Like my car
is stuck. I don't know what to do. And so
he's pushing, and it's cold as shit, it's windy. His
parents are texting him like where the fuck are you?
Like we see you're like off this random road, Like
what are you doing? You should be home right now.
We had left their family dinner, but they had together
(20:36):
to like go hang out okay, And so like his
mom's texting and my parents are calling me, like where
the fuck are you?
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
We're trying to push. Nothing's working. I'm calling all of
my friends. I'm like, please come and help me. I
have no joke, Like five people all trying to push
my car off of this mound of dirt. Okay, we're
all pushing. It's cold, it's windy. I have my friend
pick up my brother because I was supposed to pick
him up and come over here. And his mom comes
(21:04):
because they were like tracking him.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, and she's.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
Like you you're such an idiot, Like what are you
doing like, your parents are gonna kill you. You need
to call a tow truck. There's no way you're getting
this car off of here. Like what were you guys thinking?
So she drives off with his sister and then come
back with shovels and we're, oh, trying to get my
car off this The way you're digging your fore no
so bad?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
How long has it been at this point?
Speaker 10 (21:29):
It's like probably like twenty thirty minutes.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
I'm calling her.
Speaker 10 (21:32):
I'm like my friends knowing she's having boy problems.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
We're just trying to figure it out. All the homes
and how am I going to do this? The cops
pull up.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
We were like getting some complaints that people saw lights,
Like are you guys okay?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
I'm like, yeah, we're fine. Don't worry about us.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Don't worry about us. So then I eventually call this
like X situationship of mine that I know has a
truck and he he's like like what's wrong. I'm like
I need you, Michael, like home, I need you, and
he's like I'm on my way. He's on a date
with this girl. They pull up with like four other people.
He zooms in on his big like took home a
(22:14):
truck and he like, HiT's the vound of dirt. It
goes flying. He's got the radio blaring, the music's going,
and he like attaches his toe hitch to my band
and he yanks it off of this mound of dirt,
and finally she is free. And I was a little
worried about the bottom of my car, but like, I
(22:35):
like had a friend look at it and it was fine.
But they just never found out.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
That's crazy. Yeah, there's so many people involved with this,
and somehow your parents are just.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
Like twenty people like all committed to getting my car free.
It worked out, they never found out.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I think we'll have made fun years if the officers
were like, yeah, you know, we're not doing anything tonight.
Kind of their job, isn't it. That is the community
problem and needs solving.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
So was the guy that you were like hanging out with.
Was he still there when your ex situationship pulled up?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Then the next situation ship, No way, he's on a
date story to me.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
No.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
He texted me a couple of days after the ex
guy and he's like, so, when are we having sex?
Speaker 9 (23:21):
I was like, no, oh my god, you have not.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Yeah, and then after I said out, he made me
pay for a new tail hit. So I was like,
I guess worth dollars.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That is you see with guys with big trucks like that.
You know, you finally gave him the perfect decas it
was worse. It was worth saying, hold on, I got
the jopped because that is literally what the truck was
like meant to And that's all it's ever going to.
Like you, you gave the answer of like it was
(23:58):
worth it.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
It's not my story.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And if if there if there was one thing that
accomplished that night, it was making that guy's day.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
Yeah, absolutely, it was for.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Him, that guy's purchase. I don't know your parents are,
we're probably pretty damn stress.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
You know. It's like eventually that car was technically told
and we got more money than we paid for it.
So honestly, I did everyone favor.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yes, you really did.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Thank you guys so much for joining us, for having
last chance abs.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Oh yeah, I have a few.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Can you say the controversial one in two minutes?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I could abbreviate it to two minutes. Okay, let's do
it all right. So okay, you know earlier I said,
academic probation, and that's true. However, there was another academic
mishap and on I feel like the title that it
was given makes it sound so much worse than it
actually was because and this is just like the small,
(25:02):
like younger part of me that's like, listen this by definition,
it was not that. But to the like the school admins,
they were like, I mean, we're just gonna label it
under this yea, But I, like I swear it was
it was not as bad. So anyway, I'm charged with plagiarism. However,
(25:23):
what happened is that I just horribly misattributed a quote
and I was like, oh, surely it came from this guy.
It didn't, or at least it wasn't. I didn't go
and like confirm that I did that. This happened sophomore year.
I didn't go and confirm like with the guy that
he said that. I just like found the quote on
(25:44):
the website, yeah, for this thing that I was reporting
on this event, and I was in idiots I will,
like just in general, but in like my idiotsy. I
was like, I could just use this quote. You know,
he's like the big guy who runs it. I think
this is his quote and just gonna slap it on
(26:05):
and then after say that was my source. I got
caught with doing that, so I like, yeah, did I lie?
Of course, totally deserve it to do that, but like
it's like you plagiarize on the fucking holy shit. So
you know, I worked. I worked hard to like, you know,
not do that. You know, I had to go. I've
(26:26):
sat in the office with Brady's super stressful meeting, but
you know, I've like I've never done that shit again.
You know, I'm just like, if I do not have anything,
I am not even going to attempt it. I'm just
gonna says there's no information coming from me on this.
We're just gonna leave it alone. I ain't touching that.
(26:47):
I haven't written an article since.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh no, that's like your major, your major's journalism.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
This video, Wow, and your parents never found out, no,
because like, holy shit.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, So you know, if she listens to this, you
know it is what it is. But like, you know,
it's been a few years. I've worked on it. I
don't do that ship anymore. I keep away from it.
I make sure that I got my guy or woman,
you know. Yeah, intense. I learned my lessons, but that
like period of time I was beyond stress. Can't believe
(27:24):
my hair is not great, and that honestly academic probation
wasn't shit.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Wow, that's a good one. That's a good one to
end us off. Don't do plagiarism kids. Well that's all
the time we have today for this episode of Chatterbox.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We got some bangers, I think.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yes, we've learned not to do plagiarism. We've learned that
people have snuck out and not told the parents, gotten
their car stuck in ditches.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
We've got a few sick combits, honestly combits. That car
thing that could be an episode of some and then
if you're the guy with bike also like just a
sitcom moment.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah, yeah, I think the biggest takeaway to learn here
today is maybe some secrets are best kept.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Maybe we shouldn't have said that. Oh well, thanks.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Much for listening to Chatterbox. We'll see you next time.
Welcome to Chatterbox.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm Grace, I'm Sebastian, and.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
Right now we're sitting at a plastic full up table
right here in Dexter Lawn with nothing but a couple
of mics, some headphones, and a sign taped to a
table that says.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What's something you are still keeping from your parents?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
So let's get straight into it, alrighty, So we have
our first guest.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
What is your name?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Svetlana.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm Grace, I'm Sebastian.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Hello, Sebastian.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So, Svetlana, is there something on your mind, something that
you're thinking of that you have kept hidden from your parents.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
All these years?
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yes, something very large. So the thing that first came
to my mind when I read this question was my
six month long relationship.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Senior your high school. Yeah, so you're you're broken up now?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Oh God? Done with fall quarter? Actually?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And what why did you have to keep a secret?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I think just because my parents are pretty strict and
I was just kind of scared, honestly to bring up
a relationship with them, so I just never did. That's
definitely the biggest secret I've ever kept from that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Is there anything like any qualities about the person that
you were dating that you thought your parents wouldn't like
at all.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well, my sister is currently and was best friends with
his sister. Oh so he knew. My parents knew, like
the family and all of that. So it's just kind
of like a weird I don't know. To me, it
felt weird to like bring up that I started dating
that girl's younger brother. So qualities about him that I
(01:44):
was nervous for my parents to find out about. Maybe
he was a little bit of a stoner, probably still
is not too sure, but a little bit of stoner.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
He's younger than me, so he's actually still in high school.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Okay, Yeah, I would say those two probably the biggest things.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, and you said your sister was best friends with
his older sister. Does she know or does his older
sister know?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yes, everyone his parents knew. Also, yes, just not my parents.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You don't worry that your parents did know, but they
just kind of let it slide.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I mean, I guess if that was the case, I
wouldn't really be worried, But I feel like they had
no idea.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Honestly, this is juicy.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We're getting. We're getting in the deep end here.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So what were like some of the crazy things that
you had to do to keep it a secret from them?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
So, I mean every time I'd go to his house,
I would just say I was going to his older sisters.
Like I would be like, oh, I'm gonna go hang
out with like I'm not gonna say her name. You know,
he's always older sister. That's pretty much it. It was just
like this sounds really bad, but like the lies just
in le will probably be like the craziest thing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
But I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do,
young love. It was my soulmate.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Damn wrong, Damn well now you know?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Now you know, did you like you said you thought
he was your soulmate? Did you like ever have a
moment where you're like, Okay, how are we gonna tell
my parents down the line, if we're gonna if we're
gonna stay again.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
I honestly was like, okay, if we make it through
like a good chunk of freshman year, because it was
long distance.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh uh huh.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
For for a little bit, you know, I was like, Okay,
if we can do this through college long distance, then
then I've got to tell my parents. And I was
just gonna figure out a way. It's just gonna be like, hey, like,
I've been dating this guy for a long time, and
I just kind of wanted you guys to finally.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Be aware of it.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Like we'll burn that bridge when we get there.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Yeah, I was kind of Now.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I wasn't really stressing about telling my parents honestly, which, like,
in hindsights, probably something that should have made me feel
like this relationship is probably not the best because I
feel like you probably should want to tell your parents.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, yeah, do you foresee yourself ever telling them at
all in the future, like when you're forty years.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Old, Probably when I'm forty.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
If we like are walking down the street and stumble
across the sign like this again, I'll be like, hey,
by the way, parents, this is what I've been hiding
from you throw it out.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Fun fact they dated the family friends and.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Wow, that is that's juicy.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Really glad to share this with you guys.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, I'm real glad you did.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
It's made us closer, yes, definitely.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, thank you so much, Felana for bearing your truths,
telling us your secrets.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Of course. Thanks guys, well, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Nice to beat you.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
That's of luck with your conversations.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
So thank you, thank you, Bye the well, Sebastian. I'm
wondering if you have any secrets that you've kept from
your parents now.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I mean, there's probably a few things, but uh, I
think I'm starving to come up with something because the
things that I'm still hiding are probably like disaster all
things considered. So it's like, what am I willing? Like
what am I unconsciously still hiding that does not have
like horrible, horrible consequence right afterward, And that's something of like,
(05:12):
holy shit, what the fuck broke?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes, yes, exactly?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Do you have anything?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I well, the first thing I thought of when I
came on over here was.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well to think of.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The one thing that I thought of coming on down
here was when my family and I moved houses and
we were kind of renovating this new house and there
was stairs on the new house. And I've never experienced
stairs before in my own home. I think I was
maybe eight, I want to say, seven or eight, And
(05:46):
so the stairs had like the handrail.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
On one side and then the other side was kind
of open.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
There's a little ledge, I want to say, And what's
the first thing you think of when you see like
an gradually inclined surface, when you're saying, years old, that's
a slide.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
That is a slide.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I want to slide down.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I have to go down that Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
And a little did I know they had just put
a fresh coat of paint on those stairs, probably lots
and lots of money to get people to paint the
inside of the house, including those stairs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Fresh paint starting starting.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Anew And I was wearing my little eight year old
shorts at the time because it was summertime, and those
eight year old shorts had two little ryanstones on the
back pockets. And so I said, Okay, now's my time.
I'm gonna hop nobody's here, nobody's watching. I'm gonna hop
up on that ledge and I'm gonna slide down this
thing and I'm gonna keep doing it for the rest
of my life.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Because it's awesome. So I got up on there and
I slid down.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It wasn't that fun because it was literally dry wall
on like a five inch wide surface. Going downhill didn't
go fast, had to kind of push myself down.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Wasn't really fun.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And I successfully got to the bottom and I stood
up and I looked and there's two big ass scrape
marks going down the stair rail that they had just
painted big ass marks and had tried to rub it off,
and it wasn't coming off. It was like ingrained in
there and still there. It stayed there for the ten
(07:14):
years that we lived there, And I vaguely remember my
parents going, oh, no, who did this, Charlie and my
brother Charlie, you did this? And I never took credit
for it.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Is it not like any evidence on your pants or something.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I mean, they probably found out. They probably found out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It was said that's not probably.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
My seven year old brain was like, and they never knew,
but no, they probably definitely knew. Yeah yeah, man oh man. Like,
imagine being like a forty year old mother and father
to four kids, and you just spent like a good
amount of your life savings buying this house, renovating it,
making it safe and a nice place for your family,
(07:55):
and your six year old menace just scrapes all of
the pink that you just put on.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So to this day, I never told him. I might
have known, but I've never told him.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, there's no admittance thing.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No admittance, no accountability there.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I feel like the what's it called, It's like that
thing for crimes where like too long has passed, the
statutes of limitations or whatever, Yeah, has has since passed
and nothing can happen to you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, what's your name?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
My name is Ian. I'm Grace Fashion.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Nice to meet you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Of course, of course we hear you.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Have a a yarn to spend, a story to tell.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
I do I do somewhat be spinning that yarn? I
just want to me to go into it. Yeah, yes, yeah,
Well it was kind of hard to think about what
I've become pretty open, but generally I would say one
thing that I had from my parents is like I
was with this girl like junior year spring, and like
they knew about her. Sometimes no, inho okay, and sometimes
(08:56):
I would I would like sneak out of the house
to go see or like nothing like we just like,
you know, literally like a mile and a half away.
So it wasn't too bad or anything. But the first
time I did, hey, I tried to take my bike
out of my really loud basement, so that was a
whole thing. But basically I rode my bike and I
locked it up with just a wirelock on some fence
and me and me and her were like kind of
(09:17):
just hanging out on the field and then all of
a sudden, like there's someone messing with the bike. And
I was like, oh, so as somebody's bike right there,
they're getting messed with. And she's like, you're an idiot.
That's your bike and I was like, oh, right, that's
my bike. So then I like run over to him, like,
hey man, can you like not steal my bike? And
he was like almost through it. He had like bolt cutters.
He was almost through it, and he was like oh sorry,
and then he like biked away. So so then so
(09:42):
then it was like my bikelock always had like a
little like like big cut in it, and I thought
they noticed, but they never did because they're not really
bikelock inspectors. But then I like somehow made it back
and like and as I was like walking upstairs, my
mom was like eat is that you I was like yeah, sorry,
I was just calling her in the basement. I didn't
want to wake you guys up, and she was like okay,
and so genius. So that's the that's that's the lie.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
This is a convent.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Yeah, you know, trying to try to live out the
how I met your mother law as much as you can,
you know, try and find that.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Wow, that's that's a really clever thing to say. Oh,
I was talking to my ges, I.
Speaker 7 (10:18):
Mean to be to be fair, to be fair, it was,
I mean a lot more stutters and a lot more
uzz than that. So I'm not gonna go out and
say that I was the smoothest. I'm actually a terrible liar.
But yeah, that's the secret.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Do you think you would ever tell them today?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Absolutely, I'd probably give it a few more years because
I think I think my dad would be most bad
about the bike lock and everything. I think you'd be like,
so why would you do that? But I think I
think I think even if I told them now, they'd
probably be chilling. I've got some pretty pretty great parents.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, thank you so much, Ian, of course, appreciate your truth.
Our next guest, Laura, Guys.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What what what are you hiding?
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Okay, this isn't something that I'm still but I think
it's a funny story. Nonetheless, when I was in third grade,
I used to remember and well, I don't even know
what year it was, when I was in third grade,
but there was a trend where people had like the
side banks. You know what I'm talking about, of course, yeah,
And they were like really blunt, just bad looking side banks,
and I decided that I needed those. So my mom
was out grocery shopping and I cut them by myself
(11:20):
in my bathroom and I was like, mmm, these look terrible,
so I cut them off.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
I just cut the banks off me.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
So I had like little stubs coming out of my
head and I was like, oh, like, I did a
great job.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Nobody's ever gonna know.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
And I'm like going downstairs going about my day and
I'm like, I thought I did such a great job.
I'm covering them up. And then my mom the second
she walks in the door, she goes, what the hell
did you do?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Literally?
Speaker 6 (11:43):
And I was I was so sure that they weren't
gonna know. I was so sure that they weren't going
to be able to tell.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
And she was like, what did you do?
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Anyways?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And I had to get bangs to cover the little bangs?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No the solution more bangs, Yes, okay, thank you. It
clearly wasn't enough the first time.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
No, you gotta do it again.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm Jack. Well all right, so it seems like only
one of you has has a story and the other
one is just along for the ride.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Yeah, so my good buddy Eli is supporting me today
I'm coming out with my truth.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Good.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
So back back a few years ago, my dad worked
for a vaping company, Enjoy, and at the time he
decided to buy, like other companies, vapes and test the product.
He's never been a smoker, just wanted to try the products,
see what they're really about. Sure, And this was maybe
my junior year of high school and I had been
(12:42):
smoking a little bit. Then I've quit, thankfully, but I
went and I smoked. I smoked his supply of jewel
pods and I've never told him.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The whole supply it was.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
It was maybe like to of the little cartridges.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah for a second, as imagining like squid word in
the Krabby Patty Vault, but instead it's like Jewel finds
his store.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I want to paint picture in my mind where were
the jewels stored?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Like where did you have to sneak to?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
So like my parents room had had their bed and
then kind of like a desk set up so alongside
it was like a shelf in the room, and he
kept it in the original like order box.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So it's maybe.
Speaker 8 (13:26):
This this large four inches by six inches, and I
would go in there, the stick is in there, the
pods are in there, and I would take it out,
use it.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Put it back.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
But yeah, so the the cartridges are still still in
that pack sitting in the room, and they never seen.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Sous in there.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
Yeah, so eventually they will find out and see but
after that, yeah, actually, so I did those well at
the time, like I would do it, and I would.
I felt so guilty afterwards, but then I'll do it
again obviously.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah. But wow, such his addiction.
Speaker 8 (14:07):
Yeah, such his addiction. But no I ended up I
ended up quitting maybe month a month afterwards. That's good,
which it was. It was, it was a good choice.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
It was like the guilt of that action like a
big motivating factor or was it just kind of like
one of the things partially.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Yeah, well, I mean for everyone out there, like being
addicted to nicotine is just like it's exhausting. Yeah yeah,
but yeah, that's that's what I'm hiding.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
From, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So so far we have secret girlfriends, bike locks, nicotine,
secret boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's a good mix of stuff.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
What are you guys names?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I'm anna, I'll we saw your little ears perk up
when you saw her sign.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you guys have a story in mind.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
Something we're hiding from parents? Probably a lot.
Speaker 10 (14:53):
Yeah, I mean I definitely have one about like crashing
a car, but like not quite ashing. I just got it,
like stuck in a ditch off the side of a lot.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
I have one. I have one for sure.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Okay, So we're in our third year now, but my
freshman year Halloween, this was like, okay, so we're roommates now.
This is like the first time we went out together
freshman year, and.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
I think it's just a random. It was just a random.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
It was like right before parents weekend. You know, we
go out, we have a really great time class. I
actually don't remember the story that I that I could
tell you because but they remember. But my parents have
no idea that I was on academic probation for two
quarters because they caught me. Yeah, wow, what do you
mean they cut you?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So?
Speaker 10 (15:39):
Okay, basically, she lived in the yacht dorms and so
we went we walked back after our night out, and
this is such a funny story to tell again. But
they just she was you know, you know I have
like a Florida ceiling fort, and so I was, yeah,
it's like you know, I was like, okay, guys, like
(16:00):
let me, let me collect myself.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
And then I just wasn't responding to my friends.
Speaker 10 (16:03):
They were like, hey, girl, you left the door. Please
respond until they get an r ray to open the door.
And they ar's like, okay, can we just get everyone's names,
like We're just gonna check on you guys in the morning,
make sure you're okay. And I actually know any of
this happened. And then like ten days later, I get
an email in my inbox that's like like in my
school email that's like judiciary hearing. I have a what
(16:24):
because I'm like, I'm like a straight a type a
good e to my parents. Yeah, my parents have My
parents have no idea that I had to have a
judiciary hearing and that I was on academic.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
My freshman year.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, so they were like just the the hearing was
just like you were drunk in.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
The bathroom basically, yeah, you were like sick due to
probable alcohol intoxication. Like I had to do some like
online trainings like kind of you usually do. It wasn't
that big of a deal looking back on it, but
it's a really big deal because I was.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So scared Type eight more like type alcoholic.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Yeah, I really.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Apparently, So what it is like a dad thing to say,
you know what did the academic probation consist of?
Speaker 10 (17:09):
Like where they just like basically yeah, I was like,
if I messed up again, then I don't know.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
I think I could have been like suspended.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Oh yeah, you could have fun fact, I was on academic.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Which you can also get from your grade dropping too.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Low dropping right.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Yeah, so if you like mess up again or if
I had another like infringement, then I think they would
have suspected me at least four quarters.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Make sure you know that your acin classes exist, or
you drop that class.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
That happened to me freshman year two because.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I had an English ACNC course. I thought I dropped it.
I didn't. That was horrible anyway, academic probation h bro notes,
So I understand the pain of like, oh, ship, you're right,
because you're just panicking the whole time of like yeah, and.
Speaker 10 (17:57):
I have to text. It was like, hey, guys, I
just got this email, what's that about? And they're like, yeah,
she didn't even remember.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
I didn't know.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
She had no idea it happened until she got this
email and she was like, no, what happened that night? Yeah,
because I know, like, oh, like I had a little
too much, but like I had a good night and
I ended up in my bed and like in the morning,
I but maybe that was it.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, the good old two years.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Oh so do you plan to ever tell.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
Them once I graduate with a job? Yeakay, I'm an
archie major. Like, so I'll get like a structural engineering job.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Are you okay? You're sleep scheduled? Doing all right?
Speaker 9 (18:32):
So much better?
Speaker 10 (18:33):
Like I feel like, if there's one thing I learned
from college, it's how important sleep is. Like yeah, I
will never ever repeat my sleep schedule from freshman year. Yeah,
and my my skin, my health is thanking before that,
Like that is good.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I have a friend she was archie and she's like,
fuck the engineering part and swapped over to architecture.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Yeah, ballid.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
We met in architecture studio because all archies have to
take the first year of architecture.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Yeah, she was architecture magic. Yeah, And speaking of do
you have anything that you're hiding from your parents.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Oh well, Like the story that immediately came to mind
was in high school, my parents had Life.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
Through sixty on me. That's how they still do.
Speaker 10 (19:14):
However, I had like a Samsung phone, so I found
out that I can spoof my location and like said
it wherever I want. So they had no idea where
it was ever, even thought they were very strict. Yeah,
So this one night I had my location like at
my friend's house, and my parents who I was there,
like thought I was there. I was there, and I
was off with some guy in my mini van, as
(19:36):
the last one does, and we had like gone off
like off the road into some like constructiony site for
some reason. And as I was like driving off of
this site, I like here, what was that? The guy
next to me is like we're stuck. Like there's no way,
(19:57):
Like I need to be home like ten minutes ago.
Oh what am I supposed to do? And so I'm like, okay,
well you get out of the car. You're gonna push,
I'm gonna like drive, and we're trying, like my car
is like stuck on this mound of dirt, like my
back wuls are not even touching the ground. Okay, I'm like,
oh my.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
God, what am I gonna do?
Speaker 10 (20:15):
I'm panicking. My parents think I'm at my friend's house.
I'm in this like random parking lot, Like my car
is stuck. I don't know what to do. And so
he's pushing, and it's cold as shit, it's windy. His
parents are texting him like where the fuck are you?
Like we see you're like off this random road, Like
what are you doing? You should be home right now.
We had left their family dinner, but they had together
(20:36):
to like go hang out okay, And so like his
mom's texting and my parents are calling me, like where
the fuck are you?
Speaker 9 (20:43):
Guys.
Speaker 10 (20:43):
We're trying to push. Nothing's working. I'm calling all of
my friends. I'm like, please come and help me. I
have no joke, Like five people all trying to push
my car off of this mound of dirt. Okay, we're
all pushing. It's cold, it's windy. I have my friend
pick up my brother because I was supposed to pick
him up and come over here. And his mom comes
(21:04):
because they were like tracking him.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, and she's.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
Like you you're such an idiot, Like what are you
doing like, your parents are gonna kill you. You need
to call a tow truck. There's no way you're getting
this car off of here. Like what were you guys thinking?
So she drives off with his sister and then come
back with shovels and we're, oh, trying to get my
car off this The way you're digging your fore no
so bad?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
How long has it been at this point?
Speaker 10 (21:29):
It's like probably like twenty thirty minutes.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
I'm calling her.
Speaker 10 (21:32):
I'm like my friends knowing she's having boy problems.
Speaker 9 (21:36):
We're just trying to figure it out. All the homes
and how am I going to do this? The cops
pull up.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
We were like getting some complaints that people saw lights,
Like are you guys okay?
Speaker 9 (21:48):
I'm like, yeah, we're fine. Don't worry about us.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Don't worry about us. So then I eventually call this
like X situationship of mine that I know has a
truck and he he's like like what's wrong. I'm like
I need you, Michael, like home, I need you, and
he's like I'm on my way. He's on a date
with this girl. They pull up with like four other people.
He zooms in on his big like took home a
(22:14):
truck and he like, HiT's the vound of dirt. It
goes flying. He's got the radio blaring, the music's going,
and he like attaches his toe hitch to my band
and he yanks it off of this mound of dirt,
and finally she is free. And I was a little
worried about the bottom of my car, but like, I
(22:35):
like had a friend look at it and it was fine.
But they just never found out.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
That's crazy. Yeah, there's so many people involved with this,
and somehow your parents are just.
Speaker 10 (22:45):
Like twenty people like all committed to getting my car free.
It worked out, they never found out.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I think we'll have made fun years if the officers
were like, yeah, you know, we're not doing anything tonight.
Kind of their job, isn't it. That is the community
problem and needs solving.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
So was the guy that you were like hanging out with.
Was he still there when your ex situationship pulled up?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Oh my god.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Then the next situation ship, No way, he's on a
date story to me.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
No.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
No.
Speaker 10 (23:17):
He texted me a couple of days after the ex
guy and he's like, so, when are we having sex?
Speaker 9 (23:21):
I was like, no, oh my god, you have not.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Yeah, and then after I said out, he made me
pay for a new tail hit. So I was like,
I guess worth dollars.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That is you see with guys with big trucks like that.
You know, you finally gave him the perfect decas it
was worse. It was worth saying, hold on, I got
the jopped because that is literally what the truck was
like meant to And that's all it's ever going to.
Like you, you gave the answer of like it was
(23:58):
worth it.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
It's not my story.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And if if there if there was one thing that
accomplished that night, it was making that guy's day.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
Yeah, absolutely, it was for.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Him, that guy's purchase. I don't know your parents are,
we're probably pretty damn stress.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
You know. It's like eventually that car was technically told
and we got more money than we paid for it.
So honestly, I did everyone favor.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yes, you really did.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Well.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Thank you guys so much for joining us, for having
last chance abs.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Oh yeah, I have a few.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Can you say the controversial one in two minutes?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I could abbreviate it to two minutes. Okay, let's do
it all right. So okay, you know earlier I said,
academic probation, and that's true. However, there was another academic
mishap and on I feel like the title that it
was given makes it sound so much worse than it
actually was because and this is just like the small,
(25:02):
like younger part of me that's like, listen this by definition,
it was not that. But to the like the school admins,
they were like, I mean, we're just gonna label it
under this yea, But I, like I swear it was
it was not as bad. So anyway, I'm charged with plagiarism. However,
(25:23):
what happened is that I just horribly misattributed a quote
and I was like, oh, surely it came from this guy.
It didn't, or at least it wasn't. I didn't go
and like confirm that I did that. This happened sophomore year.
I didn't go and confirm like with the guy that
he said that. I just like found the quote on
(25:44):
the website, yeah, for this thing that I was reporting
on this event, and I was in idiots I will,
like just in general, but in like my idiotsy. I
was like, I could just use this quote. You know,
he's like the big guy who runs it. I think
this is his quote and just gonna slap it on
(26:05):
and then after say that was my source. I got
caught with doing that, so I like, yeah, did I lie?
Of course, totally deserve it to do that, but like
it's like you plagiarize on the fucking holy shit. So
you know, I worked. I worked hard to like, you know,
not do that. You know, I had to go. I've
(26:26):
sat in the office with Brady's super stressful meeting, but
you know, I've like I've never done that shit again.
You know, I'm just like, if I do not have anything,
I am not even going to attempt it. I'm just
gonna says there's no information coming from me on this.
We're just gonna leave it alone. I ain't touching that.
(26:47):
I haven't written an article since.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh no, that's like your major, your major's journalism.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
This video, Wow, and your parents never found out, no,
because like, holy shit.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, So you know, if she listens to this, you
know it is what it is. But like, you know,
it's been a few years. I've worked on it. I
don't do that ship anymore. I keep away from it.
I make sure that I got my guy or woman,
you know. Yeah, intense. I learned my lessons, but that
like period of time I was beyond stress. Can't believe
(27:24):
my hair is not great, and that honestly academic probation
wasn't shit.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Wow, that's a good one. That's a good one to
end us off. Don't do plagiarism kids. Well that's all
the time we have today for this episode of Chatterbox.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Thank you so much for listening.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We got some bangers, I think.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yes, we've learned not to do plagiarism. We've learned that
people have snuck out and not told the parents, gotten
their car stuck in ditches.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
We've got a few sick combits, honestly combits. That car
thing that could be an episode of some and then
if you're the guy with bike also like just a
sitcom moment.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yeah, yeah, I think the biggest takeaway to learn here
today is maybe some secrets are best kept.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Maybe we shouldn't have said that. Oh well, thanks.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Much for listening to Chatterbox. We'll see you next time.
