Welcome to Pick Me Up, I'm scared. The podcast. I'm your host Madeline. And I'm your co-host, Kenna.

All right, Kenna, today I would like to ask, when you were a teenager, did you hang out at the mall?

No. Not at all? I'm from a small town.

There was no mall.

Oh, that's right.

You guys had to drive into the local mall, right?

Yeah, like you had to drive, okay, like either 30 minutes to Pueblo or like, and the

mall there isn't that great.

Or you had to drive an hour to Colorado Springs. So instead of hanging out at the mall,

the town I am from is very beautiful, like weird. It's just so weird, but it's extremely beautiful.

So we just hung out down by the river. I love it. It's so far removed from like my upbringing. The closest thing we had to anybody hanging out

down by a river was these two guys I know made their own raft out of trash and tried to sail it

down a canal through the middle of the city. And then it sunk and they just got covered in canal

water. But like everyone was broke. So they only had one pair of shoes each.

So they had to wear their dirty canal shoes every single day.

And they smelled so fucking bad.

And I'd be in, like, physics class in high school, just like, Trevor, why the fuck are you wearing your canal shoes?

And he'd be like, these airwarks are the only shoes I have.

And I'd be like, go barefoot, man.

It's disgusting. You can't do this to us.

Yeah.

We like literally like we hung out like by like a beautiful river or that was like there was like a bridge where you could like jump off of.
