WEBVTT - Stories That Will Break Your Ankles (With Anney Reese!) 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:25.959 Yeah, what's up everybody? Welcome back to hashtag story Time, 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.960 the podcast where I bring you everyday stories from everyday people, 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.159 brought to you by I Heart Radio and Curativity Productions. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.199 I'm your host, Will Slight, Rebrand McFadden and all my 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.280 fable babies out there. Welcome back. Did you miss me? 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.160 You didn't, That's too bad, because I missed every single 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.480 one of you, all twelve of you, guys. So much 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.560 has changed, so much has happened since we last spoke. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.000 I don't even remember where to begin. I mean, Jeff 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.640 Bezos went to space in a dick rocket. You remember that. 0:00:55.640 --> 0:01:00.400 That was like four months ago. People are spending millions 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:05.680 of dollars on JPEGs of apes. Facebook became meta um 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.800 Pete Davidson became the sexiest man alive somehow, and now 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.120 he's being hunted by his girlfriend's ex husband. We're on 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.039 the brink of World War three again. What else? The 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.440 name of this podcast has changed. It's now hashtag Storytime. 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.920 Thanks a lot, Seth Rogan. Actually, I decided to add 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.280 the hashtag to make it feel a little more internettie 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.480 and less like a kids show. We were getting a 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.560 lot of babies listening to the show, which is a 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.720 problem because, uh, it is explicit and even though I 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.640 refer to many of my adoring fans as fable babies, 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.280 the show is not made for actual babies. So hopefully 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.720 this clears that up. We also won some awards. We 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:47.800 won two Silver Awards for Best Podcast Series and Best 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.440 Host at the W three Awards. No big deal. Kind 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.240 of a big deal, but not really a big deal. 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:54.920 You kind of just pay them and they give you 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.040 the awards. Also, I got COVID seven times, all right. 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.640 That brings us up to snow. So this season we're 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.560 shaking things up and instead of hearing stories from YouTubers 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:11.800 and tiktoker's, we're actually chatting with podcasters. Crazy notion that 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.839 on a podcast, maybe you talk with other podcasters. We're 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.959 figuring it out. But I'm super Jazz kickoff season three 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.000 with none other than Annie Reese. And you know Annie. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.480 She's the host of Stuff Mom Never Told You, which 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.720 it's a podcast continuing the conversation on what it means 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.359 to identify as a female through research based discussion around 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.480 feminism and how it impacts everyday life. She's also the 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.480 host of Savor, which is a tasty podcast exploring the 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.560 science and history and culture of food and drink. There's 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.960 lots of puns. It's very fun. And Annie and I 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.519 sat down and she told me a story that involves 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.760 a family trip to Florida. Gary Oldman and Broken Bones Enjoy. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.519 So this is the tale of two broken ankles. It's 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.120 very closely intertwined. Um and the first to play us 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.880 When I was eight years old and I was visiting 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.560 my cousins in Florida, just outside of Orlando for the 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.960 very first time. And I'd never been to Florida, and 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.480 at the time, like, I was so excited about it 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.760 because you know, you would see those commercials or like 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.760 the kid would open the suitcase at night and Tinkerville 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.760 would fly out, and then you go to Disney World. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.480 The parents of like, we have to go because it's 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.799 so cute. My parents repeatedly told me, never ever, ever, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:31.000 we take you to Disney World. But I still thought, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.160 you know, maybe there's a chance or maybe all of 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.200 Florida's like that. I don't know, this kind of magical place. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.840 Why why were your parents so anti Disney World. I 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:46.080 think they just knew it was going to be miserable. Yeah, Yeah, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.720 they had no interest in it themselves and they just 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.120 didn't want to put up with it, which I kind 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.480 of respect them for now. Um, I actually ended up 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.040 joining Marching Band just to go to Disney World, so 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.960 I found my own way eventually. Who knew that Marching 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.960 Band would would be the key to unlock Disney World 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.640 the true happiest place on Earth? No, actually miserable. I 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.920 don't know if anybody's been in Marching Band, but whoa 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.760 a lot of drum all right. Anyway, I was still 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.200 excited even if there was Disney World was off the 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:22.680 table because I was also going to go hang out 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.960 with my older cousins and they were I thought they 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.960 were the coolest. They're so much cooler than me, and 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.760 and so it's all this excitement I'm feeling that I 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.760 don't think was mirrored by the rest of my family. Um. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.279 I have two brothers, and then my mom and dad. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.760 We all packed in our blue raw of Star and 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.520 I'm just you know, it's this long, awkward trip, and 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.320 I'm I'm the kid that's like, oh my god, we're 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:50.000 all there. It's gonna be so good. And then the 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.960 the cooler cousins, what were their names Caroline and John. 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.960 Caroline and John the coolest cousins in town. Oh, they 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.200 were the coolest cousins in town. And they really I 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.120 want to put in here in that weird way where 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.120 you kind of understand relationship but kind of don't. They 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.480 didn't like me, but I thought that was cool because 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:16.440 I was obviously the annoying younger cousin need a little 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.760 challenge exactly. I'm like, you might not like me because 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.920 you're cool, but you'll see one day that I am 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.520 also cool, which is kind of the crux of this 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.400 whole story where it goes wrong. Um So, we arrived 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:34.240 in Florida and it's like some weird mix between a 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.680 condo and a hotel situation, and it's all you know, 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.839 flat and one story and mosquitoes everywhere. Everything's beige. But again, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.640 I was so excited and this was the height of 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.640 luxury and it was the best thing ever. Um So 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.320 it's with this mindset that the next day I I 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.280 wake up and my parents are like, you're gonna hang 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.039 out with your cousins and your older brother all day. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.520 We're gonna be with your aunt and uncle, and you know, 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.080 be good. Don't call is a new trouble and I 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.159 was like, Yes, this is finally all day with my 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.240 cool cousins and my older brother, who I also kind 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:10.839 of wanted to impress. By the way, that's my favorite 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.080 type of parenting of the like be good, don't do 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:21.800 anything stupid. Yeah, mistake in hindsight, but yes, um alright. 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.000 So to this day, I'm not really sure their motivations 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.479 behind this. I can't I can't say if they were 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:29.760 trying to get rid of me or if they were 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.080 trying to test me or mess with me. But they 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.960 wanted to take me to see a rated R movie. Um, 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.480 so they wanted to go see this movie and they 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:43.120 were gonna, you know, sneak me in. Which one was it? Oh? 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:50.479 It was Air Force one. Hell yeah. So I should 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:54.200 also add some context here because I was one like 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.640 a child who I got into trouble, But I wasn't 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.680 a troublemaker if that makes sense. I just sort of 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:03.760 accidentally stumbled into trouble. Yes, I had terrible ideas, That's 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.400 what I always say. I had terrible ideas that I 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.560 thought were great, but it was never I was never 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.080 out to like get in trouble or anything. So I 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.080 was like already inside feeling like, oh no, I can't 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:18.920 do this, And then I had and I had recently 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.280 gotten in trouble for watching Jurassic Park against my parents 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.000 wishes and having nightmares, and it was very obvious that 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.160 I've seen Jurassic Parks, so I'd already gotten like one 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:33.600 strike in this arena totally worth it. But then I'm 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:40.600 also terrified of Gary Oldman, and at this time because 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.760 my older brother had played this epic, epic prank on 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.640 me months earlier, where it involved making me believe the 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.280 autopsy the Roswell autopsy tape was real. There was a 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.440 power out and just there was special effects, there was 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.920 sound effects. He went all out and terrified me of 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.600 aliens to the point I only watched a t like 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.640 three years ago. Terrified me. So he wore of the 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.960 World's do you he did. I can't watch more of 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.680 the World's don't even test me on that one. I 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.360 cannot do it. And I love horror movies that I 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:20.080 can't do it. Um And Gary Oldman was an alien 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:29.160 spider in the film Lost in Space, which terrified me, 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.200 terrified me, and I could not remove Gary Oldman from 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.320 that role. I mean let's be honest, normal Gary Oldman 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:41.559 is night nightmare fuel. It's true. He's very intense. He's 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.680 very intense, and I knew he was in this movie, 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.600 so I've I'm already like scared of breaking the rules, 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.439 scared of Gary Oldman. But these were my cool cousins 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.680 and they wanted me to go see the movie. So 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.320 we snuck into a matinee show. I see this movie 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.320 and inside I am just breaking down, and I'm trying 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:11.080 so hard not to show how terrified I am. And 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.600 I'm like watching it like you would a documentary, like 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.480 oh no. Also, the sneaking into the movie, did you 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.559 guys do the trench coat on the shoulders move? Because 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.120 where you were six years old? Right? I was like 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:25.640 I was. I think I was older. I think I 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:29.120 was like eight, um, but yeah, I was still quite small, 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.920 and I remember like my my cousins causing a distraction. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.920 But in all honesty, it was like a totally abandoned 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.439 mall theater. Like I don't think anybody care at all, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:45.520 but to me, this was a big deal. Okay, so 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.600 I'm trying to play it cool from a cool cousins. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.440 I don't want my parents to find out. I've seen 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.680 this movie, but I am terrified, terrified, terrified, and like 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.920 looking over my shoulder all day, like something's going to 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:05.040 happen here. And so my cousins and my brother, I 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.719 think they were just tired of me, and it was 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.560 clear that I was distracted, I think, so they left 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.480 me alone in this condo hotel situation, and they turned 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.120 on angels in the outfield, which I'll never forget, and I'm, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.360 you know, trying to calm down. I'm like pacing and 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.400 looking around, looking out the window. And then I saw it, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:28.160 a white van and it was spraying some kind of 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:33.800 gas and it was slowly moving up the street. I 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:38.120 freaked out. I was like turning things over, and I'm 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.720 thinking I'm dead. I'm gonna die right now. This is it. 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.679 We're all dead. What can I do? Nothing? I know, 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.840 Harrison Ford, There's nothing I can do to stop this 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:52.800 terrorist attack, this poisonous gas. My whole Florida vacation ruined 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.280 and cut cut two inside the van, Gary Oldman as 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.600 a spider's driving, is that that's actually how would end you? 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.560 What a twist? Um? Okay? So at this point, like 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.720 I remember on screen, it's that angel and the outfield 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.120 sea they're all flapping their wings. That's gonna be me. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.360 I'm gonna be the angel in the outfield. What can 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:20.480 I do? And for some reason, what occurred to me 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.040 is if I'm going to die, I want to get 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:29.280 drunk first. So I like ran to the refrigerator, opened 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.880 it up, and I got a six pack of Fresca 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.840 because I thought Fresca was beer. Um, thank god it 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.720 wasn't real beer. Because I drank all six of them 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:47.520 in quick succession. Impressive, and I you know, I was like, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.720 this feels so good. I was convinced I was drunk, like, wow, 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.440 this is great. If I'm gonna die, I'm I'm feeling 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.880 really good. This grapefruit flavored beer is del I don't 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.640 know why to this day, I'm like, I always thought 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.800 it was Beard. I'm not sure why that was. I mean, 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.040 it's it's sort of paved the way for you know, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.680 White Clause. I would say, that's true. You're you know, 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.880 you're right. It was an early they were ahead of 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.720 the game. You're just you were on the Seltzer track 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.040 before everyone else. As an eight year old, I was 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.560 already like, you know what this is gonna be big 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:28.880 one day, but I'm still despite being convinced I'm drunk, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.320 I am still filled with terror. So I convinced myself, 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.360 you know what, I gotta warn everybody about this. We've 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.240 got to let everyone know. Like I'm feeling the liquid 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:45.280 courage of the Fresca. So I fling open the door 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.760 and I start running down the row of these condos 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.920 like some kind of weird Paul Revere. I was wearing 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.200 like a really big pink shirt and overalls, and I 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.960 was shouting, like running. They're coming, rocking a dot like 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:02.080 just booking it, book in it. And then all of 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:06.319 a sudden, just gravity falls out from me. I fall 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.800 and they're like arms go up, a very epic big fall. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.280 And I would later learn that I fell right outside 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.440 of where my parents were like sitting and talking with 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.880 my aunt and uncle at these big bay windows, and 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.079 they just see me like screaming and fly by, and 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:31.040 the disappeared into this Danish dish. Oh my goodness, yep. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.040 And I it hurt, hurt real bad, and I twisted 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:41.160 my ankle and I had to my parents had to 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.439 take me to the hospital um, and they were furious, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.800 furious with me, furious with my cousins because I'm like 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.360 still babbling on about this terrorist truck and Gary oldman 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.120 and all of this stuff just pouring out of me. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.800 They of course told me it was a mosquito truck 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.360 and it was fine. Were you acting drunk at this 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.400 point too, or had you sobered up because of the fall? Oh? 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.400 I was still drunk. I was still and I was 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.240 telling them all about it. I'm like, I guess I'm 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.120 talking because I'm drunk. And they were like, what I 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.680 found the fresco and They're like, no, you're not drunk, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.240 and I kept trying to convince them, yes I am. 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.680 And then so they took me to the hospital and 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.560 they made me, because they thought this would punish me, 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.920 explain the whole story to the doctor. But that was 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.840 also a mistake because I kept telling the doctor I 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.080 was drunk um and then all I had done was 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.400 trying to save everyone. Like I might have been wrong, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.760 it might not have been terrorist man, but I was 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.520 just trying to help. Oh. But I'm sure this Florida 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.640 doctor has seen plenty of drunk eight year old so 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:49.240 that was nothing to happened the norm. You're right, You're right, Uh, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760 he probably was like, just it's another one. At least 0:14:51.760 --> 0:15:04.840 it was Fresca this time. Okay. So months later, cast 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.400 is off, braces off. I'm still in trouble. I'm still 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.720 a bit in the doghouse. But you know, my parents 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.680 are kind of slowly forgetting about this embarrassment they suffered 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.800 and the trouble I got in, and they decided to 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.120 take me to this fall Fair and I was really 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.560 excited about it, but I had this dance recital later 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.160 that night, so they were like, you know, you gotta 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.360 be good. More from you And you had a dance 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:35.400 recital with this brained yes to the I'm like, what 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.440 was that? But I mean I it was a very 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.400 I had already been practicing practicing for it. It was 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.000 a like year long thing, and I was just going 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:44.440 to kind of stand in the back and like do 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:49.280 my hands and stuff, not do the feet part so much. 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.080 But my parents they were kind of the parents that 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.960 were like, we paid for this and you're just trying 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.240 to get out of it, and we're going, okay, okay, 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.280 So we go to this all fair and it just 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.560 as a kind of immediate disaster. Like I loudly tell everybody, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.280 I never get sick on rides and that you have 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.080 to let me ride this rocket ride and then vomit 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:16.360 all over myself. I know exactly. I was so annoying 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.440 about it too. I was like, I never get sick 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:24.680 on rod everywhere immediately, yes, And then my parents had 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.600 got me a caramel apple because I've never had one, 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.080 and I made this big deal about it, and I 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.440 like chipped, I hurt my tooth thought it, and I 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.360 felt really sick, but I didn't want to say anything 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.240 because they were clearly annoyed with me. And so we 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:42.000 get home and they tell it. They instruct me go 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.160 to your room and do not come down. We're having 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.800 friends and family over. Before that, we go to this recital, 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.680 and you know, we've just had it with you, like, 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.560 go clean up, stay in there, we'll leave when it's time. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.200 Should have been easy, I should have that. Okay. Well, 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.400 I get it in my head that I'm really really thirsty, 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.160 and I was still kind of nervous about the whole 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.800 terrorist thing, so I didn't want to drink from the 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.879 sink in the bathroom near me, So I wanted to 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.520 go downstairs and get the filtered water, but I did 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:15.760 not want to interrupt my parents at this they very strict. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.280 I was like, okay, I just gotta get around them, 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.680 come in the other side. They'll never know. I left 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:27.080 my room, but I was on the second story, so 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.960 I was looking around and like, how can I do this? 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.679 And my eye caught on this bright red umbrella, my 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.560 favorite bright red umbrella, and I was like, you know 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.520 what I'm I'm Mary Poppins, this thing. I'm just gonna 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.600 get the umbrella, climb out on the roof, float on down, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.560 easy peasy. No one has to know. Clearly, this was 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.399 a terrible plan for multiple reasons. I don't know how 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.840 I thought it was gonna get back up. Mary Poppins 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.360 also used it to fly, so you know she could 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:03.720 float back up no problem. I selectively like remember the 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.840 key parts of things I like. So I was like, Okay, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:08.680 this is gonna be great and it's gonna be fun. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.320 I was like, oh my god, it's gonna look so cool. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.920 So I climb out onto the roof and I pought 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.399 the umbrella with great a plum, like, oh, this is 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:24.840 gonna be good. And I took the most confident leap 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.680 off of the roof maybe anyone's ever taken. Maybe any 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:35.280 eight year old has ever taken with umbrella immediately spokes 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:39.800 gone and it breaks and I go blumting down to 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.200 the earth and I landed moss and I go right 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:48.480 past the windows where my parents we're having to with 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.720 their friends and their family, just this eight year old 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:59.439 body going Okay. So I'm like, frantically if my ankle 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.639 is killing you, but I'm frantically thinking, I gotta plan B. 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:05.360 I gotta save this because I already cost enough damage 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.080 and I was so much trouble. So my parents came 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:12.040 running out and I like pulling myself up and I said, oh, 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:17.359 you know, I'm fine, no no issue here, Let's just 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:23.240 forget this happened. My parents are very skeptical. They're like, okay, 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:27.240 well what you know. It's just so so confused as 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.439 to what my plan was. But they have all this 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.280 company and they're kind of like, we'll deal with this later. 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.879 We're gonna go this recital, all right, Oh this is 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:41.280 pre recitaled. Yes, yes, So I have to go and 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.119 clean up again because I'm covered in moss. And we 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.280 get ready. We all pack in that blue arrow starve 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:50.080 in and all of my friends and family member they're 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:54.000 all going to see this recital, and I remember like 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.080 I'm back. I'm in the back row because there's two 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.600 rows of us dancing, and I'm trying to keep it 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.879 together and like look like I'm you know, not in 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.840 terrible pain. And then like I moved up to the 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.280 front because we're kind of doing a circle thing. The 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:12.840 song I've Got the Power was playing, and I just 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.560 like completely collapsed and fell off the stage and caused 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.280 this whole uproar, and my parents are filming it, so 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.359 there's a VHS of me just like totally eating it 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:28.359 and falling off the stage with two broken ankles. Yeah, 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:35.359 essentially essentially so that after that, you know, the recitals ruined. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.520 My parents had to explain to all these people that 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:43.760 they had invited. I was in pretty big trouble um. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.040 And that was, yeah, the time I broke my ankle 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.600 twice in kind of a short period of time. Um. 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.520 But also a very good example what I'm talking about. 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.399 I just make terrible decisions. I was actively looking for 0:20:54.480 --> 0:21:00.119 trouble just and and heavily influenced by the movie is 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.240 that you're watching. Yes, yes, I also have a home 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.800 alone story. But I'll say that another day. Any kid 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:10.080 who watches on alone and thinks, you know what, I 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.720 bet that works. Yeah, I should swing paint cans that 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.560 I definitely should electrocute this guy. Yeah, let me let 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:23.760 me make my door knob into molten lava. Yes, I 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.720 don't see any flaw on those plans at all. Clearly, 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:32.040 I imagine your parents, uh, just having a montage of 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:37.080 view in childhood, just going past windows, doing insane thing, 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:44.040 just falling past windows. There she comes again. I have 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:46.280 started to feel sympathy for my parents, Like this was 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:47.960 a fun exercise for me where I was like, oh 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.919 what am I? Really funny stories and so many of 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.800 them involved like traumatizing my parents and it being like, 0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.440 please don't do that. Why do we have to tell 0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:00.359 you not to do that? Also, very beverage in like 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:06.400 inspired to both the Fresca and the filtered one. We're 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.640 really key elements to your town. It's true, I am, 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.440 I I do. I'm usually drinking something and that's also 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:18.080 been used to foil me many times. Many franks have 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:23.720 been played on me. Great legs um and then if 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.119 you could say what the moral of the story is 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.720 or what you learned from from these events? Looking back. 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.159 What would you say? It is? So to sum it 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.959 all up, the moral of the story what I learned is, uh, 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:41.960 don't trust your cousins, don't trust umbrellas Fresca is out here. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.720 Thank you so much.

You know, I totally relate to Annie in 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:13.200 that story because I've actually been having a lot of 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:18.560 gary old midnightmares to except minor um sex here. Also, Annie, 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.600 I think you took the saying break a leg just 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.880 a little too literally. You can follow Annie all over 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.480 the place, so head to the description for those hot 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:39.800 links hot links. Welcome back. I have an exciting announcement 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.960 slash update for you. Due to budget cuts, I have 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:47.439 hired some unpaid AI interns also known as robots, who 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.000 are going to help me unpack some of the weirdest 0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.480 threads I found on Reddit with a little segment of 0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:55.800 call robot Reddit reads and today's ask Reddit comes from 0:23:55.880 --> 0:24:00.320 user crowned Bird, who asked, what moment made you say Yep, 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:05.000 I'm definitely dead but survived with no major injuries. My 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:07.600 answer to that question is every time I eat at 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:11.000 Applebee's all right, robots take it away. Not me, but 0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:13.760 my mom before I was born. She was riding in 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:16.439 a convertible with a friend of hers. They came to 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.720 an intersection and the friend wasn't paying attention and lost 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.880 control of the vehicle. There was a big rig going 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.640 through the intersection and they went right under the trailer. 0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:30.360 My mom ducked, the driver did not driver was decapitated. 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:32.720 My mom was lucky and only ended up with a 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.919
