Overdramatic and Problematic
Take off: Raw, Real, and Slightly Chaotic
Silan and Maria introduce their new teenage podcast with unfiltered conversations about life, school, and the struggles of figuring out their futures. The duo bring energy and contrasting personalities to create a space where teens can hear from people their own age rather than adults reflecting on their past.

Overdramatic and Problematic.
Speaker 2:Welcome to Overdramatic and Problematic. I am Salon. I'm Maria.
Speaker 1:And I guess we are your hosts this afternoon.
Speaker 2:We're going to be taking you on this wild little journey with us, yes, so we are a teenage podcast run by teenagers for teenagers. If you're 80 years old, please take your medication and get out of here.
Speaker 1:I mean, we welcome everybody though no discrimination. So should we talk about the reason why we wanted to start this podcast? Yeah, start, thank you.
Speaker 2:I never let you speak. I'm being generous this time.
Speaker 1:So we believe that there isn't really a proper podcast for teenagers that are made by teenagers.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's a lot of um, like 20 year olds and people that have already just or just graduated. Yeah, and they, they like, reflect back on their teenage life. But I'm like, I feel like once you've passed an experience, looking back and being like, oh, like I remember when I was like this and actually being in the depths of it is so different as well. I feel like self-reflection and self-awareness is so different as well.
Speaker 1:I also want to hear from, I guess, people my age and I don't know if other people want to hear that as well, but that's what we're doing. To be fair, that's what we're doing because we feel that apparently we're maybe funny you know, we want you to either, maybe we want you to either be able to relate to us or laugh at us. Either way, we're happy, we're the right to be.
Speaker 2:We get views either way.
Speaker 1:So either way, right, um, but how about now you tell us how we actually started, like why, why this happened?
Speaker 2:oh okay, so we were sitting on, so we yap a lot in case you can't already tell? We do not stop talking and we were sitting at Solan's house on her couch because I'm at her house like 24 7 and her mom was like listening into our conversations and our story times and she goes you guys would make an excellent podcast and because we don't do anything half-assed or just like we said, bet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were like all right. We said bet, Bet, let's do this.
Speaker 2:We started out at a school studio. Yes, got kicked out of the school studio.
Speaker 1:Unfortunately, yeah, not bad though, nothing against us, us it just didn't happen.
Speaker 2:No, they hated us. They were like, get out. But they touched us and they were like go back to your countries. Well, we're in the same country. Yeah, for reference.
Speaker 1:Um, she's israeli, I'm brazilian so we are a chaotic bunch, but um, hopefully you'll.
Speaker 2:You'll learn how to deal with us.
Speaker 1:But we are now in the most beautiful studio.
Speaker 2:Oh yes.
Speaker 1:Love very much and we have found, hopefully, our home forever. We're never leaving, never leaving. We'll sleep here day and night.
Speaker 2:I mean, we've got this wonderful blue aesthetic. Yes, I've got a nice cushion. I'm set for life. To be fair, I know, especially with these mics, I can't get over how like so crispy, like we sound we might have an ASMR channel as well watch out Curtis for reference. Curtis is the guy behind the screen, the wonderful person who's letting us use this space and who's taking care of us. Yes, thank you, he's a professional ASMRtist.
Speaker 1:Professional, you might see an episode.
Speaker 2:ASMR by Curtis coming soon.
Speaker 1:It'll be a special A.
Speaker 2:Christmas holiday special Because we're already in the Christmas spirit. It is, what is it? It's August, christmas in August. No, literally quite it. Christmas in August, it is. We were singing Christmas jingles. So yeah, if you hear us breaking out into song, don't be alarmed. One of us can sing. The other one has a hope and a dream and we go with it.
Speaker 1:But are, unfortunately for you guys, theater kids. I know it's rough it's rough, tough tough world out there, but it's okay. You know it makes it interesting it does.
Speaker 2:I mean you quite literally used to go to a performing arts school. I did.
Speaker 1:I did. We have had very big lives. We have and one really not only one, but a really cool thing about us is that we are very, very, very different, but we are also very similar yeah.
Speaker 2:And I think that's going to be really sorry I'm stuttering that's going to be very clearly reflected in, like our opinions and the way we talk and see things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, we see things very differently, but we can sorry, I have a hair in my mouth Salon be professional. It helps us see like two sides of every story, or you know. Yeah, definitely it's. I think it's pretty cool and we've been friends for a while now.
Speaker 2:Yes, friends, I get paid to be here. Wow, that was rough. That was rough, xo, xo gossip girl.
Speaker 1:We're hoping in the future, if people like us, I hope you like us, but we're hoping Imagine someone's like oh yikes scroll. That will probably happen, but it's okay. It's okay, we love everybody. Speak for yourself.
Speaker 2:I'm a hater at heart. I am a hater to my core. That's the stuff that we edit out. That's the stuff you don't see so.
Speaker 1:So if you're ever wondering why don't they ever say anything like bad, you know why are they so like we do she? Just doesn't let me. No, it's edited out um this one's dangerous but no, okay.
Speaker 2:So what? What is overdramatic and problematic? Well, what is our podcast?
Speaker 1:well as we kind of said I don't know already we're just wanting to honestly be able to either give people advice who are obviously our age, younger, older, whatever, yeah, who's we? We've been through some rough times, we've been through some good times, we're riding the waves of life and I guess I want to share that experience shakespeare, shakespeare, shakespeare, william shakespeare, shakespeare, shakespeare, spear spear yeah, no, we got this.
Speaker 2:Um, english isn't my first language, guys, don't hate, I will quote that a lot because it's it's more of a dumb moment than it is bilingual, but I'll live. That was a big word for you thank you, dumb congratulations.
Speaker 1:Thank you. I'm very proud of myself where were we?
Speaker 2:where were we?
Speaker 1:oh right um but no oh yeah, so we've been through a lot and, um, I guess we want to share our stories, talk about things that are happening and I don't know. I guess I think we're interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and so the way these are kind of going to work is obviously start off. You're welcome, welcome, take off, woohoo. Yes, oh my God, it's our take off episode High five.
Speaker 1:So proud of us. Did you hear that? Did it sound crispy? Yeah? There we go. Oh, that would have sounded good. So we're kind of going to have a general topic.
Speaker 2:But, as you will see soon, we cannot stick to a topic. We cannot.
Speaker 1:Both technically undiagnosed but very diagnosed yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, my diagnosis was quite weird I went in to get diagnosed and I did the whole process. Sorry, I hit the mic. Oh my God. I did the whole process.
Speaker 1:I did the anyways, but then Is it called an exam, ADHD exam?
Speaker 2:No it quite literally was You're getting tested the therapist? She didn't sit down, she didn't talk to me, she just kind of was like okay, so we have four circles. If you take away three, how many circles do you have?
Speaker 1:Can you?
Speaker 2:count. Yeah, and I'm just like babe, I can tell you how many of the circles are blue. I don't know what that's telling you about my mental state, but in any case she didn't actually give us the results.
Speaker 1:She just kind of said I'm not gonna tell you that you definitely have ADHD.
Speaker 2:But you have something. Yeah, she was like you have something and I was like okay, is it ADHD? You have something. Thank you so much for your help.
Speaker 1:Queen that was really, really helpful. No, didn't she say, you had like a um adjustment disorder, adjustment disorder because I told her I didn't like change, like I'm sorry, but I when I was younger, like very little, yeah, I.
Speaker 2:I had. She did a music video to Katy Perry Katy Perry's raw. If you set it up on YouTube it's still there. I'm sorry I have to throw that. That was so out of the blue, but it's my favorite piece of information about you. It's what made me decide to be your friend. Wow sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 1:Anyway, it's called salon raw, if you do want to see it anyways, no. So as I was saying when I was younger, yeah, I'd never got technically same as you diagnosed. But I pretty much got diagnosed. But as I grew um older you didn't I'm a I'm elderly now. I'm 16 now guys I'm 16 now, guys, the wrinkles but, I. I definitely calmed down. I mean, obviously, if you're listening, we're not calm, we're not calm. But as a kid I was just insane, which?
Speaker 1:is it's hard to believe. To be fair, you know when we, when I got bullied. Now I look back and I'm like it makes sense it makes sense.
Speaker 2:I was talking to my mom about this the other day. I was like you know, to be fair, if I met me a couple years ago ago, I would bully her too. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:I would bully her too. I bully my younger self.
Speaker 2:I got quick little story time. Not a story time, but just like I got pushed down the stairs. That's how bad my bullying was. Should I be laughing? No, you can, Because reflecting I'm like. No, to be fair, like I would have done it too. Yeah, little bratty child, I'd push you down the stairs now. I'd push you off a flight.
Speaker 1:XX. Well, I think.
Speaker 2:Okay, podcast over.
Speaker 1:Friendship over. I think we'll get into bullying in a whole different episode.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. No that's not today. No, that's hot and heavy.
Speaker 1:If you have been bullied. We have been extremely bullied, and in different ways. Again, how?
Speaker 2:we're very different. Yes, she never got pushed on the stage.
Speaker 1:No, I didn't, but I think that's definitely a whole episode on itself. Yeah, and it's really cool because I know we definitely have some advice to give for that. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2:But, like I was saying so, the way these are kind of going to work is Like she was saying like 20 minutes ago we're just kind of going to yap and then we want to do advice episodes. So if you're watching this and you're interested, we'll link our email, we'll link our Instagram. Send us your story, send us your questions.
Speaker 1:We're more than happy to answer If you think these crazy bitches can actually maybe give me some good advice do it.
Speaker 2:We're so good when it comes to other people's lives when it looks to some reflection on our own.
Speaker 1:Don't look at our lives, but we can help you with yours.
Speaker 2:Don't Do as we say, not as we do. That's the motto of our lives.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's different when you know like teachers say it or like parents say it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but when we say it, or like parents say it yeah, but when we say it.
Speaker 1:It's like literally perfect, it's loving. Yeah, it's loving, definitely not each other, but like, yeah, but as again, yeah with the advice, again, um, again, again, yeah with the advice. Um, yeah, we're gonna have in our episodes. You'll see, we'll have some topic episodes, maybe some advice episodes where you can send in or like story times. You know, if we you want us to comment on it, give some, give a little story time, we'll change people's names, all of that. Yeah, what's the word?
Speaker 2:anonymity, anonymity, no, stop you're, you're, you're confusing me.
Speaker 1:No, that's not it. Yes it is. That doesn't sound right Anonymity, anonymity. It's anonymity, okay, fine, I'll believe you just this once.
Speaker 2:Just this once Later, when I have my phone back because we're recording, at the moment because, first episode we haven't gotten to our pro cams yet, but when I get my phone later I'm looking this up. Actually, to be fair, our quality is pretty good. You're you right now. Hello, you are my brand new iPhone 15 in the color pink, because my favorite color is pink. I'm a Barbie doll.
Speaker 1:Yes, also our backdrop will probably change every few episodes we're hoping to get pink.
Speaker 2:We had pink, had a episodes. We're hoping to get pink we we had a little problem she got flooded um, but it's okay because right, we love literally it's she.
Speaker 1:It's not like a metaphor or anything.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, like she quite literally was in a room that got flooded and now like half of it is completely destroyed. But but we love her. Keep calm and carry on. We've got blue.
Speaker 1:It looks great with our chairs I mean, you look very snow white. Oh, is that a compliment? Are you saying my skin is like as pale as it goes? Well, if the shoe fits, wear it, cinderella. You know what? It's fair enough, I can't tan, I can only burn. No, which is funny because your dad is really tan my dad is so tan my brother Okay listen to this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, go. That would have been really loud.
Speaker 1:He got the tanning jeans, but he does not step into the sun, not once a day. He will stay in his room on his computer, because he's a computer baddie, but he will not step into the sun.
Speaker 2:And he can get tanned, but he won't get in the sun, remember when he explained tanning to us, Because so I look quite pale right now, but I tan really easily. Solan does not, Solan burns. She's my little lobster cake. Sorry, it's a crab cake, but tomato tomato. And we were at the beach and we were like having a whole. Well, why do I tan and you don't? What's the purpose of behind the scenes? Obviously, we know what melanin is, but we were just kind of like having I didn't For anybody who's watching.
Speaker 1:it's okay if you don't know what it means.
Speaker 2:I did not. I did not, but melanin is essentially the pigmentation in your skin, and he went on a whole tangent about how I naturally had more melanin and I produced more melanin than Ceylon because of my genes, and I'm just like okay, buddy.
Speaker 1:By the way, if you're not following this, neither am I. I already spaced out.
Speaker 2:Oh, but it's okay, no, I see how it is. No, I see how it is.
Speaker 1:You know, I feel like I say I'm really dumb with science. You are Well. You know what actually happened. It was really funny. I got like at school I got an award and they're like you topped science in your grade and I went, sorry. That was me with legal and I went to my teacher and I said sir, did you know I top science? And he goes what? How did you top science?
Speaker 2:No, it's okay, excuse me, it's okay. I'm a very I work really well under pressure, like I could have nine weeks to do an assignment. I will not touch it Literally the night before. I'm like, oh, I have like a 2000 word essay due like tomorrow and then I will like smash it out because I work well under pressure. I put in my little headphones, I listen to my. I'm an ASMR baddie, I'm sorry. I listen to my like little study ASMR and I power through.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I hope that did not just catch on the mic. I did a little burp.
Speaker 2:And these mics are so good that I'm ready to be famous. You've eaten your hair.
Speaker 1:Where are your ladylike manners. I'm sorry, I'll do better. I need to take like one of those, like princess courses you do, you need to take an etiquette class.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll give you an etiquette class. You know I'm like okay From you. Excuse you, I'm not the one burping into the microphone.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to say as well. Another example of us being opposites is like you will leave it to the last minute to do your work. I pound it out straight away in class.
Speaker 2:I do it in class, but I didn't get to finish my story time, but basically I leave everything to the last minute and so I have a legal assignment. I taught legal last term. For reference. I have a legal assignment due on Friday.
Speaker 1:Today is Wednesday and I'm just taking off my shoes, guys.
Speaker 2:And literally no manners. None, curtis, we're so sorry, but she, what was I saying God, oh, right, thank you, that's what I'm here for. A new girl in my class. She was like oh, like how much have you done? And I was like, oh, just the introduction. And she was like sorry. And I'm like yeah, the introduction. And she was like sorry. And I'm like yeah. And then she's like like, in the nicest way possible, do you get good grades? And oh, my friend is like, oh, she taught the class last time and, oopsies, this, it's okay she wanted.
Speaker 1:She wanted a name job.
Speaker 2:It's fine and then the new, and then the new guy was like how? And I'm like babe, I work well under pressure, what can I say? And like my, my friend in biology, she cause I also have nothing. I've literally not touched my biology, not even to do the title page, and she was. And she was like Maria again, how do you get good grades? And I'm like how do you?
Speaker 1:get good grades. Talent, natural talent what can I say? I've been friends with you for a while and I still think about this question how does Maria do well in?
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't know, I actually I could not tell you.
Speaker 1:But yeah, other than that name drop, we'll be changing names.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's a little mistake, just a wee bit when you send through your story times. We swear I won't be name dropping. I promise. Yeah, no, we'll be changing the names, definitely. Okay, something that I really want to do and I have like a burning desire and passion, and I've actually not mentioned this to you, but I really want to do. Actually, I think I did mention I really want to do. Am I the Arsehole?
Speaker 1:Yes, I want to do them so bad.
Speaker 2:On other podcasts. I love them. On TikTok, when it's like the Am I the Arsehole with? Like the slime making video I stroll for hours.
Speaker 1:Or like the shoe- the shoe like the horse. Nate the Hoof Guy. Nate the Hoof Guy. I love Nate the Hoof Guy. If you have not seen Nate the Hoof Guy on TikTok, you have to watch him. Sometimes he grosses me out, yeah, but he comes up all the time, right before I have to sleep.
Speaker 2:Yes, he only comes up when it's like I have to go to bed. And it's him like, hey, what's up, I have to go to bed. And it's him like, hey, what's up? It's Nate the hoof guy and he will like.
Speaker 1:Fun fact I actually used to own horses and was a show jumper.
Speaker 2:I don't know I wasn't a show jumper. I used to own horses Slow For like five minutes of my life. Random, little fact.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, I used to be a little show jumper. Well, sharon's a farm. Well, small farm, yeah, but it's still a farm, didn't all your chickens die? So this is why she doesn't babysit. You know that music that is like the sound music, that like in in tiktok or whatever it is I believe in edit it in, but anyways, okay, you're ready three we have no edit three, two go my chickens all were sadly, sadly murdered by a fox.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought you were going to say like someone and I was like oh.
Speaker 1:No, it's not like a proper crime scene, Like it was a fox. But that's where you have to end the music.
Speaker 2:Also sorry, circling back, we were talking about etiquette. I meant to say Barbie fans. I see you, I have a habit of every time I drink, if it water, if it's tea, if it's anything, I stick my little pinky up. Because in Barbie princess charm school I love Barbie princess, yeah, it's one of my favorites they teach her to drink tea with her little pinky up. And I was like, oh, I'm fancy, I'm a princess, like five-year-old me, was like I'm gonna drink with my pinky up. And now I can't stop if I like.
Speaker 1:Literally it's automatic well, I guess that's good. I guess that's good. I don't think it's an actual etiquette thing, though maybe, if you got it, the uk, have some tea with the queen, the queen's dead salon. Have some tea with queen number five the queen consort that was so aggressive.
Speaker 2:The queen's dead. Solange Wait is the king dead as well, Sorry no disrespect. Absolute RIP to Lizzie. We loved her and her love for cows, I swear.
Speaker 1:I'm not hating on the queen.
Speaker 2:Guys don't cancel us.
Speaker 1:Genuine question the king's also dead Right. No, no, the king. So is the king running? So is the king running England? No, hold on, what do you mean? Who's running UK?
Speaker 2:Okay, you mean king, as in Queen Elizabeth's husband, because he's long gone? Or do you mean the current king, because that's her son, king Charles? Okay, hold on.
Speaker 1:Just answer.
Speaker 2:Riddle me this, riddle me this, oh God.
Speaker 1:Who's running England King?
Speaker 2:Charles the something. He's Queen Elizabeth's son, him, and his wife, camilla, camilla, queen, he's. He's princess diana's ex-husband. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, you know she's powerful when you you don't know him, but you know him as her husband, even though he's the, the queen, the king of a country. That's.
Speaker 2:That's insane, yeah I didn't, I didn't know him, as I didn't know him as king char either. I knew Princess Diana and I found out about him through Princess Diana. Yeah, which might be insensitive, we don't know. Yeah, we're not British guys, don't come for us.
Speaker 1:Well, I love my tea. You know I'm a tea drinker.
Speaker 2:I'm a tea drinker. I am, yeah, I'm not a coffee drinker. I don't like coffee, I do not a coffee drinker. I don't like coffee I do like coffee, but coffee.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't know if this happens to anybody else, but sometimes when I drink coffee from certain places, I will feel so weird inside, like I'll get anxious, like the coffee will make me anxious and my whole like chest will go.
Speaker 2:I've never experienced that, but I think it is a real thing. Like caffeine anxiety.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah but I'm gonna. I I have the need to list my favorite teas. Oh god, here we go, coming from tea drinker number one, chai. Yeah, absolute, ultimate tea with milk and honey.
Speaker 2:Yes, I have a lot of honey. I have a major sweet tooth and she does not.
Speaker 1:She, okay for, for, just just just just just think about this. Okay, we go to a bubble tea store. Oh, I get zero percent sugar, but I get the obviously so say, your normal bubble tea order and then I'll say mine can I please get a royal pearl milk tea? Yeah, with obviously it comes with the boba. Yeah, but that has obviously brown sugar so it makes it sweet. So I get zero percent sugar on that, whereas maria, the same drink hi.
Speaker 2:Can I get a royal pearl milk tea with cheese foam or milk foam, whatever you call it? I actually do like that, as well yeah and um, extra sugar and a lot of the time the extra sugar isn't enough sugar, so I'll ask for extra sugar 125 percent sugar remember the one time it was your birthday, I think and they didn't make it sweet enough.
Speaker 2:So this girl oh my god, she has no shame like social anxiety fears her, me. Yeah, her birthday. We go to a bubble tea store. Oh, no, this is bad. And I also have to make my drink, and it's not even like a milk tea, it's like a fruity sparkling drink. And that, um, we go to the store and they make it and I'm like, oh, like I don't. I say to her I, oh, it's not sweet enough. And so she's like oh, can you add more Sweetener, can you add more sugar? So she asks can I add more sugar? It's still not sweet enough. Hey, can you? And she's like okay, can you add more sugar for her. She doesn't think it's sweet enough and they're like but Lana's like no, no, no, I'll show you what Sheenie wants. Opens the door, goes behind the counter, grabs the little machine thing. No, I didn't do that.

Speaker 1:Maria is delusional. I did, I did go behind the counter. You made the drink To give her back the drink. I did not make the drink. Yes, you did. I would never shake the drink you did, I didn't. You're delusional Because that is insane. I wish I could call them right now that is insane.
Speaker 2:No, it is. Yeah, it is insane. Yes, it is insane. It is exactly what you do.
Speaker 1:I went behind and I gave back the drink and I was like do it again.

Speaker 2:Insane cheekbones yeah, that's no, no, no, but I remember it's. That's a new one okay it's.
Speaker 1:It's like kind of black and white and and like the kid is like it's just spooky, it's like creepy, it's it's creepy. I feel like people will know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:I if you're talking about Willy Wonka with insane cheekbones, that's Johnny Depp, and I've, you've lost me Also actually speaking of Johnny Depp, and I've you've lost me. Also, actually speaking of Johnny Depp, can I just say am I the only one that never thinks he looks like himself in his roles? Like he always looks different. Like, oh, that's hair I'm shedding, okay, like you would never think that, like Captain Jack Sparrow was Willy Wonka Ever. I never made that mental connection until, like, because I'm like like I'm a little stalker, wait there, we go, there, we go, there, we go, yeah. Yeah, and Edward is a hans. What? Yeah, they're all the same person. Yeah, oh my god, guys talent, but also acting talent. Like, yes, my inner theatre kid is like insane, I'm astounded. But wow, yeah, they're the same person. Yeah, I realized that because I was like doing a little like stalk.
Speaker 1:My one brain cell is like jumping around right now.
Speaker 2:I was stalking because it was during the time where he was doing the trials with him and Amber yeah. And everything that was going on there, which I was so invested.
Speaker 1:Were. You invested in that, not as much as you. My mom was super invested, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, I love your mom and I are like soulmates. I love her. I'm going to get married. No, literally, your dad better watch out. But I couldn't do that to him. He's my twin, my BFF, but anyways, I was so invested and I was doing like a little stalky, stalk, and I was just like Johnny Depp and I heard, like searching them up and like everything was going on, and I clicked on, you know, on google. It's like Johnny Depp, like movies and tv shows. I clicked on that and I was like no way are you like, if you, if you're not aware, go do that. Maybe we're just like really dumb to not have realized this before, but if you do that, I was shocked. I was like there's no way. I was, I was like jaw on the floor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, you know, other than Johnny Depp. I kind of want to just quickly touch base on school, yeah, because obviously full 360, full 360, yeah, but I don't know, like we are at the age now that some people are dropping out, yeah, some people are staying till 12, year 12, sorry, and a lot of people are going like uni, no uni, Because you're not doing uni, are you? I don't think I am a uni girl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going down. Oh, I want to be a lawyer, so I'm going down the uni path, yeah.
Speaker 1:I yeah, Look, look, look, look, look look.
Speaker 2:Okay, this is again my ADHD. No, get into it. I kind of want to be everything. I want to be everything I'm like okay, I want to be an actress, but I want to do law school, but then I also want to study criminology and then maybe I want to make a good teacher, maybe I want to make a good drama teacher. And what if I just don't do work? What if I Move to Ibiza? No, literally Ibiza, ibiza, but what I'm kind of thinking about doing Sorry you go, no, it's okay, nobody, nobody like.
Speaker 1:You know what's it called? Like, like, hold this towards me if it doesn't happen Against me, Don't hold it against me, hold you to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't hold me to it. Don't hold me to it. We got there eventually.
Speaker 1:But I've been thinking and I haven't told you this I don't think about becoming a pilot. Sorry, sorry, what Okay?
Speaker 2:You want to hear my reasoning? Yeah, no, go Please.
Speaker 1:So I okay, I know I don't sound it on this podcast, but I am actually kind of smart, I'm a little bit smart, debatable. Just a little bit, just a little bit, but you actually don't have to be that's like okay.
Speaker 2:I'm now.
Speaker 1:I'm offending people sorry, now I'm offending people, you're fine.
Speaker 2:I just, I'll start again. I'll start again.
Speaker 1:I love traveling. Yeah, when I finish school, I want to travel.
Speaker 2:I want to live in other countries so why pilot instead of like flight attendant?
Speaker 1:listen okay, no, I will, I also love money, I also love money, I love money.
Speaker 2:okay, I'm as a pilot. I was like, oh no, okay, you go. I'll come back to my tangent later.
Speaker 1:As a pilot, you get to travel around the world while making a lot of money, and I just think it would be so cool I don't know what- your pilot comment is Actually I don't make that much, Choose a different career. Yeah, but I've been super like looking into it and obviously I'm not going to go in like into the depths of how, the details I will do it.
Speaker 1:But just to show you of how opposite character I am, I'm thinking of doing like that and um so, possibly like a cert or a diploma. I'm also going to do like diploma in business, but I sound so like straight right now. No, all of my subjects at school are art subjects, so if that's you, you're seeing me here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had to make such a sacrifice because I chose my subjects today. And I had to make such a sacrifice because normally I'm like, okay, I'm going to do drama and film and art and fashion, fashion. And then I had to stop and I'd be like, okay, these are, I chose drama, legal economics, biology, like these are not. I'm not saying I'm gonna do all of these, but like, um, economics, business, biology, chemistry and history as like my options, um, the only two that I'm certain I'm doing is legal and drama.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's really tough. I haven't picked mine yet because mine isn't due yet, but do you have any advice?
Speaker 2:for me, because you just went through it and I'm going through it Look firstly, this isn't advice.
Speaker 2:It's just like what I wish I could do. I wish we could do like half of it where it's like okay, these subjects go towards what you want to do, these subjects go towards your career and these are the fun subjects, because I feel like I am not going to have fun doing a business class and an economics class, but I would have so much fun doing drama and fashion and visual arts, but like I want to get into law school, so that's not like a liberty I can afford, which I think sucks, but at the end, like you got to really think like ahead, I guess, um, for you that's a liberty.
Speaker 2:I can afford it is because, especially because you're not planning on going to uni, if you're doing a diploma, you're set so, yeah, so I'm actually not so well technically.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's not the future. Yeah, I haven't chosen, but what I'm planning on doing is doing a diploma in business. Yeah, not doing ATAR. But if I want to go to uni, which I don't think I will, I get nearly 80, 84, like ATAR points.
Speaker 2:Which is yeah, that'll get you into a good university.
Speaker 1:Very good. Plus, they Like having a diploma is, like, very highly looked at.
Speaker 2:I need like I'm the, the hardest I like HR I need to get into like one of the best unis is like 97.5. That's just that's insane. That's like that's insane. I I don't know if any of you are currently going through the struggle that we are because we're we're in year 10 now, but that's I feel like, can I'm literally just a teenage girl. Can I not just be like, okay, I'm gonna be a lawyer? Like can I have an Elle Woods moment please? What? What is going?
Speaker 1:on what is with the? Yeah, it's really hard and I think honestly it's very it can be very mentally draining. Yeah, on people, I'm trying to how I kind of don't get affected by school things is just kind of put it at the back of my mind and just trying to live in the moment. But, um, it's really hard because everybody is so different. Hey, yeah, and everybody's going to pick such a different career path and it's like you.
Speaker 2:Okay, she is an incredibly talented dancer, singer, actress, very big arts person. She's also very smart Debatable. I always thought that you were going to go to Broadway. We've had this conversation about why you don't want to go to Broadway, but never, ever would I have thought that you would whip out piloting as a career path.
Speaker 1:I know I'm just a person who thinks very, tries to think very logical Because, of course, while I'm doing that, I cannot give up my performing. It makes me really happy. So, probably perform in some restaurants or whatever um serenade go. I don't want to bore you guys, um, but yeah it's. It's definitely a hard choice for me because it's what makes me happy performing and I'm not giving it up, I'm not. I'm just trying to make a logical. It's so hard because we're literally just girls in grade 10 we're literally 15 and 16.
Speaker 1:Like how am I supposed to know what I want to do?
Speaker 2:in my future. I'm literally just a teenage girl like do you mind? How am I supposed?
Speaker 1:to know. How am I supposed to plan for?
Speaker 2:years ahead. No, speaking of um, I don't know if your work has done this, but obviously, because everything's going on, a lot of people are doing internships. Um, I work two jobs at the moment. Um, one of my jobs, the uh to turn to me, was like, oh, um, maria, like are you you're? You're staying here, right, like you're? You're staying here because so many people they like start out in high school, they continue, and I'm like how do I sit down and tell my manager that, like no, boo, I'm not staying in my minimum wage job for the rest of my life, but you're going to stay there till you graduate.
Speaker 1:Hopefully, probably so, that's did you tell her that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did. But speaking of that job, do you want to hear the most humbling experience I just had? Let's hear it.
Speaker 1:Okay, um with if there's gonna be a name drop, change it, no there won't be, but we're on the.
Speaker 2:Can I name drop the app that my roster's on, surely? Yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah, we're on. Deputy me too. Are you deputy?
Speaker 2:we're on deputy and um, normally it'll say like the day, the date and the time of your shift. For some reason mine didn't say the date when I first looked at it. So and I I normally work every saturday there, so I was like, okay, I going to pull up to work, I'm going to work a Saturday.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:My mom wasn't home so I have to pay for an Uber because I still can't drive. Pull up, pay for an Uber, get ready, it was an early morning shift. It was an early morning shift, so I woke up super early, got ready, got dressed, got dressed, got myself to work, paid for my little uber. I pull up. Maria, what are you doing here? What do you? What do you mean? I'm working. No, you're not. You're busted next saturday, sorry, sorry. What do you mean? What do you? What do you mean?
Speaker 1:what do you? I was like humbling. Yes, so I.
Speaker 2:You were in your work uniform, I was I was like working and I know I never actually pop my bracelet open, um, but you over there, like we have uh hair requirements, you have to have your hair tied up. I never, ever do that.
Speaker 1:I always have my hair out, or like in a clip or something I always have my hair up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I'm a cool clip girly, um, but I I actually did like a full slick back pony. Oh my god, she was ready, I was, I was like ready to face the day work with. And then I pull up and they're like no.
Speaker 1:I have a question. Next week, when you were there in your uniform, did any customer like ask you a question?
Speaker 2:yes, yes, I got a pressure. They were like, oh, where's the bathroom? And I'm like I'm actually not getting paid, um so, find them yourself to that lady over there. Which also I feel like something that's kind of like hard, I guess, is the balance of like. Obviously I'm in the middle of like assessments and exams right now and then balancing that with like work and stuff.
Speaker 1:Work life, friendship life, love life. Yeah, it's a big balance. And love life Wow, I love you. She's talking about me. I love life, wow, I love you. She was talking about me, by the way, not herself. Anyways, it can be really hard to balance you. I think, because you go to probably a school, that you have to work harder on your academics.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So how do you balance your academics? I don't.
Speaker 2:Literally. I don't Simple as that, I don't. I just I kind of I'm not a strong font for advice on that subject. I wing it, I honestly do, and then I surprise everybody when I actually don't fail every single subject ever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there's actually no answer to this question, because me as well. I don't have a friendship life. I see people at school and then every day I go off after school, yeah, and you know I can't hang out with anybody.
Speaker 2:I'm here with you right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm hanging out with you right now, but it's different, because we're like working, yeah, kind of, but I just mean like everybody's like, oh, let's hang out after school and I'm like no they're like oh, can you come to my birthday party?
Speaker 2:I'm like no, give me like three months advance then maybe, but look, genuine question when you see me, do you do you think, oh, yay, I get to see Maria.
Speaker 1:Or do you think, oh, we're recording um well, I pick up Maria from school wow, okay, and with that we bring this podcast to a close. I'm not on my p's. Yeah, I just got my L's um, but so obviously my mom's picking Maria from school with me, love her and I just think, oh, there's Maria.
Speaker 1:Hop into the car Because I see you every Wednesday. Yeah, I see you all the time, more than Wednesdays as well, because we do theatre together, yeah, so it's just kind of a like I mean, of course I love you and of course I'm happy to see you. But because it's like it's more of a thing that like, if you have a sibling, yeah, are you happy to see them every day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'd like them, but you're not gonna be like oh my god, you came out of your room. I'm so happy to see you. You're like oh, there they are, yeah, yippee. Like that's how I feel with you. I just see you.
Speaker 2:It's like you're my sibling oh yeah, you're like my sister. I'll add it to the list.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean we fight like sisters as well. Oh no, I nearly said something so bad. Do you want?
Speaker 2:me to do it. Should I say it?
Speaker 1:I nearly said you should see us in bed.
Speaker 2:She means because I'll like she'll be in bed like living her best life, and I'll like jump on her and then we'll have like little wrestling and she'll like actually kill me Do you know what best life? And I'll like jump on her and then we'll have like little wrestling and she'll like actually kill me. Oh yeah, do you know what you're saying?
Speaker 1:I do, gang, not like that no, like we'll be like punching each other, like sibling fights. But, yeah, that's pretty much our friendship.
Speaker 2:Well, that's us. That's us, as we actually talked about nothing that we wanted to and everything at the same time, so hopefully that gave you a little bit of an insight as to who we are and we hope you enjoyed us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can I say that Enjoyed us Maybe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, enjoyed spending time with us. How we end our podcast is a quote of the day, so we switch catchphrases a lot. Solan has hers, she's not told me. I have mine. That I've not told her yet, so we're gonna end with that. Hopefully it'll add something into your vocabulary. You can go first, maria, I can. Okay. My quote of the day is why do you exist?
Speaker 1:and um silence, sorry what okay context.
Speaker 2:Um, we had locked the door because we despise my math teacher and I do not recommend this. We hadn't. A girl in my class had locked the door and there were still people outside and we were like don't unlock the door, don't unlock the door. The classic don't unlock the door joke, Teenage boy yeah no, but it was a girl that locked the door. And then she was like don't unlock the door. And then this one kid unlocked the door. That's me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then my friend turned to him and she goes why do you exist?
Speaker 1:And it's recently become my favorite thing to say that would have sent me into a spiral. I've gone home and cried yeah, like every time someone like messes up or is just really annoying. I just said I'm like what, why do you exist? So mine is more of an insulty yeah phrase. My quote of the day to end our beautiful little podcast is give me my money, stop get out, get out go away this comes out.
Speaker 1:I know this will be such old news and people will look at me and cringe so much because it's cringy, but I haven't stopped saying it and it's really funny to do with friends. If you don't know what it is, look up on tiktok.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's quite funny um, but yeah, hopefully we've added something to you. If you've got anything you want advice on, or story times, we sit, we swear. Following episodes, we will actually have a solid, concrete topic to yab about.
