Yeah. your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hanna Sfini. Welcome to Storyworthy.

My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Sfini, and we're coming to you from

Sherwood High School.

My high school in Sherwood, Wisconsin.

I saw that coming a mile away.

Just outside Milwaukee, just on the border.

And tonight there's no excuse not to come from here because our guest, author Madison

Perry, he brings forth the topic, hooking up with a high school crush.

Yes, I was thinking of it like a bullwinkle and rocky title. Hoking up with a high school crush or how Facebook got me laid. I don't know if Facebook got him laid or not, but that's what I think 95% of Facebook is. Middle-aged people, he's not even middle-aged. But, you know, purving, as Tina Faye would say, to see their high school crushes and see maybe they can get back together because they're all divorced now. Yeah, it's true.

And then you'll, you'll, and you look at the picture and you cannot recognize them. And then you, in the context, you figure out that there were somebody in high school ways, they're like, what the fuck happened to you? What got, what did you hit by a truck? What happened to you? Jesus,, really? No, I'm saying people can age remarkably badly. Not like me. I'm like a demi-god. I mean, I was going to say, what do you think when they click on you? You had hair in high school, didn't you? I know, but other than that, I pretty much looked exactly like this. Really? I had a beard. I had glasses. Yeah. I had this nose. You were born at 58. I was born at 58. It was tough on my mother because I came out with a walker and that'll really hurt. Okay, so listen, hooking up with a high school crush. Now, you dated Jackie Cation in high school. Not in high school. No,
