Higher Math: This is your brain on Calculus

The player is loading ...
Well, That Was Awkward

This week, Bree and Mendy dive into a listener's hilariously awkward high school story that involves perms, weed, and a surprising triumph in a calculus class. Plus, they share their own awkward moments and serenade you with a special song at the end. Don’t miss out on this 80s flashback that will have you laughing out loud and reminiscing about your own high school days.

Key Themes:

  • Summertime awkward moments (FREE THE NIPS… maybe?)
  • High school memories 
  • Awkward fashion and hairstyles of the 80s
  • The adventures (and misadventures) of smoking weed in high school
  • Unexpected academic triumphs

Listener Stories:

  • Swimsuit Malfunction: A listener shares her cringe-worthy beach experience with a wardrobe malfunction.
  • Ted’s High School Saga: From being a nerdy middle schooler to a cool high school senior, Teddy's journey involves babysitting for weed, high times behind the rock, and an unforgettable calculus class.

Special Thanks to Mendy St. Ours and Gabe Gavin for creating the three reggae songs we used to illustrate Teddy’s epic awkward moment! For more music by Gabe, visit: https://www.facebook.com/bhaktiboyz and Check Out BhaktiBoyz on Spotify and Bandcamp!

If you want more music from Mendy, we trade jingles for awkward stories.

Special thanks, also to Mr. *****, my Latin teacher. If you read this, here's a note for you:

Gratias tibi ago quod eximium linguae Latinae doctorem, ac semper me deligendis ut numero 3 respondeas!

(Any mistakes in this are due to my own poor study habits, and are not reflective of his teaching!)
