Being a human being can be embarrassing. It can be awkward. It can be uncomfortable. And like most

people, I don't like these feelings. I like feeling cool and funny and chill. I like laughing and having

fun and hanging out. I don't like feeling embarrassed. I don't like feeling awkward. I don't think

anybody does. I've spent

like my entire life trying to figure out how to take those types of situations that evoke

those unfavorable emotions and hack them to make them more pleasant. Okay, I'm talking about

taking an embarrassing situation and turning it into a funny situation. I'm talking about

taking an awkward situation and turning it into a wholesome experience, taking an uncomfortable

situation, and turning it into a bonding experience. Not a bondage experience with sex in ropes,

a bonding experience where something's uncomfortable

for two people and then the two people get through it together and at the other end of that

they've bonded. That's what I'm talking about. And I think I'm pretty good at it, but there's always

room for improvement. And so today I thought we'd sit down and go through some common, uncomfortable, awkward,

embarrassing situations that we all face.

And if you haven't faced them yet, you will eventually.

And try to figure out the best way to handle them for the best most positive result possible.
