Certifiably Awkward
Hosted by Gabriela, Amy, and Lena, three friends bonded by cringe-worthy moments and embarrassing stories. When people kept saying, “You should do a podcast—I’d listen,” they decided to take the hint. So they grabbed some microphones and got to work.

This week, we're talking about recent feedback, questionable fashion choices, and the things you apparently need to know before meeting us. We asked ChatGPT to warn people about each of us—apparently enough red flags for ChatGPT to issue a warning.
*Proceed with Caution. You've been warned**🎙️😂
Welcome to our little show. There are some things that you should know. We've practiced what we're gonna say, but it will go wrong anyway. We've got the facts, we've got the charts, just not the social graces part. So settle in and press that play and let awkward lead the way. It's the Certifiably Awkward Podcast. It's the Certifiably Awkward Podcast.
SPEAKER_03Hello and welcome back to the Certifiably Awkward Podcast. I'm one of your hosts, Amy.
SPEAKER_01I'm Gabriella. And I'm Lena.
SPEAKER_03And today we are gonna start off by mentioning some feedback that we got from a listener. Last episode I shared a story about my um trip to Croatia and how thankful I was that I sh paid extra to get my own room. Yeah. Because I was sick. And gastrointestinal issues are nothing you want to share with someone you don't know. So she shared that uh she was quite thankful that I had shared my story because she's going on a cruise and she was debating. There's an odd number of people that are going, and she was debating on whether or not to share a room with a complete stranger. And I helped her make up her mind. So this is why we do this, folks. Yeah. Because no one wants to be in a situation.
SPEAKER_01We're an informational podcast.
SPEAKER_03We we are an informational. It's like we are here to help you. Public service announcement to save you from awkward situations that we ourselves have been in.
SPEAKER_01You're welcome, folks. You're welcome.
SPEAKER_03You are very, very welcome.
SPEAKER_01If this isn't public service, I don't know what is. So true.
SPEAKER_03Um so one of the things we wanted to talk about today is sort of, you know, when what you wear goes wrong. And um when a sort of fashion faux pas, um, what it what happened when what was it when uh Janet Jackson had the little uh sweat about the Super Bowl halftime show? You were probably a child. Um she had a little outfit mishap mishap. That's a good word for it. And part of her chest was shown on national television live. So a little mishap, but uh but yeah, I I have not had any fashion uh mishaps because I tend to wear very simple clothing that does not it's not mishappable.
unknownSo just put it that way.
SPEAKER_03I'm a jeans kind of gal. I don't often wear wedges. Oh yeah. Uh I do not often wear anything that requires any sort of finesse getting into. So, but uh Lena, I hear you have a story from a listener.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah. Um, well, I was gonna share it just because it reminded me of my own faux pas.
SPEAKER_03Oh, you have your own flash fashion faux pas. Oh, of course I do. So does that does it involve a wedge?
SPEAKER_01No, unfortunately not. Um but I had a listener share with me that they were going to a pretty upscale fancy restaurant.
SPEAKER_03So yeah, I don't go to those either.
SPEAKER_02We need to start getting you out there more.
SPEAKER_03We really do.
SPEAKER_02What about these dates, Amy?
SPEAKER_03They rarely make it past date one, and it's typically happy hour coffee. So no, no fancy, no fancy dates.
SPEAKER_01If you're gonna have a fashion faux pas, you might as well do it on a first date. I might as well.
SPEAKER_03Add the awkward to awkward, right?
SPEAKER_02Exactly. No coffee from here on out. Only like nice, super nice, elegant places.
SPEAKER_03Can we imagine the guy with the leather pants at a fancy restaurant? I mean, maybe he wouldn't have worn those to a fancy restaurant, so I could have avoided that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Awkward situation. He might have. He might. He probably might have.
SPEAKER_01I mean, I doubt it, but he might have. Um, okay, so anyway, so she was going with her family to a restaurant, and she was um getting out of the car, and I believe it was a she was uh what's it called? Parking her car at a valet. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03So somebody was coming in, grabbing her car, and someone you hand a complete strange of the keys to your car.
SPEAKER_01Right, exactly. Exactly.
SPEAKER_03Is your car clean enough to do that on a regular basis?
SPEAKER_01I cleaned the Okay that answers the same, same, interesting. Um but she said that as she was getting out of the car, her blouse that she was wearing pops open. Um and she starts creeping.
SPEAKER_03All the way open? I or just exposed a little cleavage.
SPEAKER_01They also shared this with Gabriella, so Gabriela could be a little bit more.
SPEAKER_02I think it was she's a very modest person, so I think it was probably cleavage, but probably more than what she would feel comfortable sharing. Because her husband and her daughter were also in the car. Oh, okay, got it. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but um, she shared this story with me, and then it immediately took me back um to again one of my faux pas where a few years ago I was applying for a job, and uh we haven't even got to the good part yet, Amy.
SPEAKER_03I'm just I'm just imagining.
SPEAKER_01Um, and it was interview day. And so where we work, when you interview for a position, they give you the questions ahead of time, about 15 minutes ahead of time. You have that time to read it over, whatever. Um I have to use the restroom because I knew I was gonna be nervous and had to pee. And so I went and used the restroom, my zipper breaks in the restroom. I realized I can't zip it back up, and so and I'm wearing like a blouse that's not very long, like you could clearly see my crotch. And and it was like probably the pants were a little too tight on me, so it wasn't loose pants where it looked closed, even if it was unzipped, like you could clearly see that it was it was wide open.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, so I prepped myself, I would take some notes on a notepad, I walk into the room, cover my crotch with my notepad.
SPEAKER_02Excellent.
SPEAKER_01Um, and then because I am me, uh, and it was a room full of because this was kind of I guess a promotion within the same place. So the people that were interviewing me were people I knew and saw every day. So I walked in and I went, so um, just want to let you all know that I've had a bit of a uh wardrobe malfunction. Um my zipper broke and my fly is wide open. If you see me covering my crotch with my notepad.
SPEAKER_03Did you use the word crotch?
SPEAKER_01I'm pretty sure that I did weird.
SPEAKER_03Oh good lord.
SPEAKER_01I was like, if you see me covering my crotch with my notepad, please don't get weirded out. It's because of my wardrobe malfunction. I am sorry, but I will sit down and I I didn't talk about it for the rest of the interview, but I still think about it sometimes.
SPEAKER_03Did you remember to cover when you stood up to leave? You don't know. I don't know. She's like, I have no recollection of any of the rest of the interview after I said the word crotch to my interview panel.
SPEAKER_01All that to say, I didn't get the job.
SPEAKER_03Oh no. They should have at least given you pity points for that. I agree. And like admitting it, right? Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Speaking of buttons, so this reminds me, reminds me, reminds us me. It reminds us me of uh I was sitting on an interview panel once and uh this gal comes in and she is she did not work for the state, and she has forever gained a nickname. This was probably 16, 17 years ago, but she had so many buttons unbuttoned on her button-down shirt that I mean it was it was like she was going out to dinner at not a fancy restaurant in some place like that. And um, but not to a place of employment where you're interviewing. And um, yeah, we now call her uh Tracy Three Buttons. So um, because I think it was three buttons, but I mean it was I mean, you know, women's clothing, three buttons is right, that's a lot of that's a lot of cleavage to show at a state interview. I just want to point that out.
SPEAKER_01I accidentally do that sometimes. Oh, this is too much to share, maybe, but I'm gonna do it anyways.
SPEAKER_03Quotes I'm I'm using I I'm using air quotes here. She accidentally does that sometimes, guys.
SPEAKER_01So sometimes when I am like getting dressed for work, I'm in a rush. So then I have button-up shirts that I hang up with most of the buttons buttoned, but I have enough buttons unbuttoned so that I could just like throw it on over my head. And sometimes I forget to button those buttons up. I go into it.
SPEAKER_03So you don't take a final look at yourself in the mirror.
SPEAKER_01No, I go, oh my god, I'm late, I gotta get the hell out of here.
SPEAKER_02That's awesome. Um if I see you, I would let you know.
SPEAKER_01Well, I was gonna say, if anyone, if you're listening to this and you see me with one too many buttons buttoned down, please let me know.
SPEAKER_02She will not be offended, she will thank you. I might call you Tracy Three Buttons. Can I?
SPEAKER_03It's a new nickname. The rebutton Lena. Lena three buttons. Three button Lena. Well, or or we could, I mean, I don't know, okay. Yeah. I'm not a fan of the word crotch, but some of it might have to be put in there too.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02That kind of reminds me of a story about um, I have a story. So I went to You have a story. I have a story. I know but it doesn't it doesn't involve me. What? I know. I know does it involve a witch? No, it doesn't. Um it involves like boot tape. Oh. So I went on a trip to um Memphis with some friends, and it was a disco bar and the floor lit up. It was great, a lot of fun. Highly recommend if you ever get to go there to go. Um and the girls that I went with had both had fashion faux pas or mishaps.
SPEAKER_03Wardrobe malfunction, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So so one was wearing a um a shirt. I can't even like, but she had some boob tape with it, so the girls were held in place, but we were out dancing and that boob tape. Yeah, that boob tape was not okay, and so she had to go to the restroom and like take care of business so that like she wasn't exposed everywhere.
SPEAKER_03Well, we're talking boob tape. I need clarification because boob tape I'm gonna have to tell you. I mean, I'm you probably could have guessed, is something I've never used since I said I do not use that. Are we talking about like in lieu of a bra? Correct. Yes, okay. Okay. I was the other one I was thinking was like, you know, when you have the tape on your like a double stick, sorry. Right, a double stick so that your you know your clothes doesn't come open. Okay. No, we're talking like in lieu of a bra to sort of hold them up, guys. Okay, yeah. So I'm sure our male listeners need to know that too. So you are welcome, guys.
SPEAKER_02Public service announcement number two. Yeah. Informational podcast. I told them.
SPEAKER_03Everybody knows what boob tape is, okay.
SPEAKER_02Um and there was like uh the other person had an issue with their um thong, and so Oh wait, they didn't use boob tape on the thong. No, they didn't know it's completely different, and I'm not really sure what happened or why there was an issue with that, but like she had to use the restroom and then remove the the thong as well. So um that night I was the only one that was like not having an issue just cutting it up on the dance floor.
SPEAKER_03So you weren't having an issue, but this is is this the same trip where you were still in the boot? No, no, no. Oh, different trip. No, yeah, no, okay. I was gonna say you were having issues of your own if you were no.
SPEAKER_02I mean, there's not much a whole lot of dancing I can do in a boat.
SPEAKER_03So I mean Oh, you you did last last week last time we heard about your dancing with vanilla ice on stage in a boot.
SPEAKER_02So yeah, but again, it's not a whole lot that you can really do. I didn't realize how much you use your feet. Like I sometimes think like you can chair dance, but if you're standing, it looks really weird. So anyway. That's how I dance. With or without a boot. That's not how you dance. Don't let her fool you people. She's got rhythm. She's not.
SPEAKER_03Oh my goodness. No other fashion faux pas you want to share with us?
SPEAKER_02I mean, I have one for myself. It was I was super young, went to an interview um, and was trying to be lipsticked and perfect. So I put my lipstick on. Went to the interview, um ended the interview, went to my car and realized I had lipstick on the side of my teeth. So did that whole interview with well, but they did offer me the job.
SPEAKER_03I was gonna say, did you get the job? I'm like Lena, who did not. I did get the job. You also didn't say crotch in your interview. No, I did not say crotch in my interview. No.
SPEAKER_01You think that was what did it? Possibly now that I okay, so I'm thinking back to this. This is several years ago. We did have somebody from HR on Zoom during that interview.
SPEAKER_02I mean, which I I knew she's I don't think it really had to be the same. English is your third language. True. Right. I mean, she could have just used that, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um I have something, one more to share.
SPEAKER_03She when she says things like that, she sounds like she's about to like make a confession.
SPEAKER_01I well, I feel like I'm making a confession.
SPEAKER_03I have one more thing.
SPEAKER_02I need to share.
SPEAKER_03Forgive me. Forgive me, Gabriela. I have sinned. I have popon.
SPEAKER_01I have popon. No, this one isn't mine. Okay, this is not hers. It's my mom. Sorry, mom. Um does mom listen? No. Okay. She doesn't speak very good English anyway, so um, so she likes to wear, so my family lives in Hawaii, so a lot of shorts are worn. Um I couldn't figure out how to say that. They wear a lot of shorts. Uh, my mom used to wear a lot of like flowy shorts, flowy, comfortable shorts. Love them. I guess she once went to went shopping with my dad, and as she was walking around, my dad was like, Why can I see your underwear? Why am I seeing your underwear? And so she freaks out, and she's like a very modest person. So she runs to the bathroom and realizes her pants are split right down the center of the butt crack, like at that seam. And you could totally, when you're walking, just see her straight through it. Thank God they were shopping, so they just bought her another pair of pants. And so every time I go back and she's wearing like flowy pants shorts now, she tells me she goes, I never wear these out of the house now. I only wear jean shorts outside.
SPEAKER_03That's too bad because they're comfortable. I know. She just needs to check the seam before she before she leaves.
SPEAKER_01All that to say, um, the apple doesn't far fall very far from the tree. I had to get it from somewhere, someone, and apparently it's my mother.
SPEAKER_02Well, I went to Poly Lookout and it's very windy up there. And I was wearing a flowy, it wasn't a dress, but it was very, it might have it might have looked like a dress, and it probably, but it wasn't. They were shorts. But I went up there and it went floop up and I was like, oh no, no, like I wanted to get out of there so fast, so fast.
SPEAKER_03But okay, I have one now that you mentioned that. I was 13, so I'm just gonna have to, I'm gonna preface that. But and I mean he's not perfect. Far from it, far from it, prox. But um I was 13. We were on a family trip to the Midwest. We flew to I don't know, one of those states, Minnesota, and then drove all around the Midwest visiting family. Great vacation. I think it was like three weeks for a teenager with her family. I mean, it was just fabulous. Much would have rather would have been to Disneyland. But um, I was wearing what I mean. I thought I had a lot of style back then, guys. Like, I was wearing this white, flowy skirt that had like this big, thick, elastic. Oh, that was very yes, it was like the big black, and then the top was also kind of like an A-frame sleeveless, and like one side was white, and the other side of the top was like black and white checkered. It was just like I was really cool, okay?
SPEAKER_02Very late 80s.
SPEAKER_03Yes, very yes, because it was probably 1988-ish. Um, so we went on this stern wheeler boat down the Mississippi River. Oh. Uh, I didn't realize it was gonna be windy. Oh no. I didn't know the whole trip. I'm like, I could do nothing other than stand there holding my skirt down the entire trip because here I am with all these older relatives. There was a cousin that I'd met for the first time on this trip. She was like my third cousin or something. She was maybe a couple years older than me. But I was mortified, and I came from a very modest family, and it was not okay to be flashing your relatives, your relatives, or anybody else on that storm wheeler boat. So yeah, maybe that started my um simple outfits. My simple outfits, you know? I don't wear skirts a lot.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I mean To be fair, my outfit was as simple as they I was wearing just wax, works lax. There was nothing. I don't know how much better it had been.
SPEAKER_03How did that zipper break?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. Blame old navy.
SPEAKER_03Oh, there you go. That's what it was. Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
SPEAKER_01I turned around and bought the exact same pair of pants.
SPEAKER_03Like when you find it, you keep it.
SPEAKER_01I still wear them to this day. Not the broken ones.
SPEAKER_03Not the broken ones. She keeps those just in case. She just lets people know her crotch is out. Excuse me, please. My crotch is out. Just don't look okay. I'll keep this pot of paper right here.
SPEAKER_02Don't be offended. My crotch is out. Oh Lena. Three button, Lena.
SPEAKER_03Oh goodness. Well, um, the other thing we wanted to talk about tonight was uh, do you guys use Chat GPT often?
SPEAKER_01Lena, how about you? Not ever.
SPEAKER_03I do remember you saying like the first time you used it was like when we were sitting here and we were looking stuff up.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because you guys were using it and I felt like maybe I should try it, and I tried it and I'm satisfied.
unknownYou're satisfied?
SPEAKER_03She's satisfied. It was I'm not sure what that means.
SPEAKER_01I I just I don't have any desire to like because like my mom will use it all the time. If I ask her a question and she doesn't know, she'll go, oh, I'll just ask Chat GPT. And I just I'm okay with asking Google, but I think AI just scares me a little bit. Fair.
SPEAKER_03That's fair.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So then when I go and type something into Google, because nowadays when you ask something in the Google chat, it gives you the AI, it gives you the AI, so I skip over the AI and I look for the sources. I think you can't turn that off. Yeah, you can you can't. Well, I heard that if you like I don't know, um put your question in and then write like a curse word at the end, AI doesn't come up.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, interesting.
SPEAKER_03But I will say that when you do that, and it comes up with the AR responses, not the curse part, but the regular, it cites sources after each uh I have since stopped using Chat GPT and use Google Gemini just because it comes with my Google uh subscription. But um Gabriella, you use it. I use it a lot for home improvement now that I'm I don't do all these things, house projects myself that I hate doing. I ask for help quite frequently.
SPEAKER_02But um you I don't use it a ton, but I have I have used it for obviously some things were like the podcast, like how to do things certain things that I have for the website or something like that. I need help with. But not a whole lot, but I mean I have used it just because I was just curious. I mean, I did do like the 80s photo just to see what I would look like, but not a whole lot.
SPEAKER_03One thing that it does do is it it kind of stores everything that you've ever talked to it about.
SPEAKER_01See scary.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it does. It it keeps all the little things it knows about you. And so I saw this prompt the other day, and that you can ask the uh Chat GPT basically for a warning. And the the exact chat GPT prompt is describe me like you're about to warn someone about me before they meet me. And then it comes up with this description of you based on all of the conversations it's had with you. So we have those to share with you tonight, and we're sort of gonna dissect them to see if it's really us or not, which you know, Gabriella knows me better than anybody in this world. So I'll read mine first. Okay, I'll go first. It says just so you know, Amy notices everything. Don't say something casually if you don't mean it. She'll remember the wording, the tone, the tiny contradiction, three conversations later, and the fact that you suddenly got vague when she asked a perfect. Reasonable follow-up question.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, yes. That is you. I'm scared.
SPEAKER_03It says she's warm and funny and she genuinely likes people. But don't confuse warmth with unlimited access.
SPEAKER_04True.
SPEAKER_03True. She has a pretty sophisticated internal bullshit detector. It may take her a minute to trust the reading, but once the needle starts twitching, she investigates. Also, she asks questions. A lot of questions. I don't know that I ask that many questions, do I? I think I ask more. It says not because she can't make decisions, but because she wants to understand the machinery underneath them. She doesn't want to know what. She wants to know why, compared with what. What happens if I do the other thing? And are we sure? By the time she makes the decision, she's basically conducted a small congressional hearing.
unknownOh God.
SPEAKER_02I can see that if you're asking it for like home improvement stuff. Like you want to know the why. I get that.
SPEAKER_03Maybe, yeah. She's more independent than she sometimes realizes. She wants connection, but she doesn't want to disappear inside somebody else's life to get it. If you're dating her, she wants chemistry, affection, laughter, conversation, and consistency. I want to know how ChatGPT knows what I want.
SPEAKER_01I'm telling you, they know everything.
SPEAKER_03It's kind of freaky, actually. She's not interested in being somebody's convenient almost girlfriend while he quote sees where things go. She has already, right? I know, right? She has already seen where things go. They go nowhere. Next.
unknownI love that.
SPEAKER_02Chat TV T being funny. I know.
SPEAKER_03It's got a little sense of humor there. Why did I assume it's a he? I mean, I shouldn't gender. I shouldn't gender the AI. And distance yourself immediately from phrases like, quote, let's just keep it casual unless you enjoy watching a door close with remarkable efficiency. She can tolerate disappointment better than ambiguity. Give her bad news straight and she'll deal with it. Give her mixed signals, evasive answers, you're shifting explanations, and you have accidentally assigned her a research project. Oh, hundred percent. Yes. She also has a strong fairness meter. At work, especially if something doesn't add up, she isn't satisfied with that's just how it is. I know that is absolutely true. She wants to understand the decision, the criteria, and whether the explanation actually matches what happened. She can be diplomatic about it, but underneath the diplomacy, there is a tiny attorney organizing exhibits. Here's the part you really need to know. She's tougher than she looks, but that doesn't mean things don't hurt her. Sometimes the competence is camouflage. She tends to move quickly into okay, what do I do now mode when something disappoints, scares, or frustrates her. Planning gives her something solid to hold when life gets slippery. She's also in a period of her life where she's becoming considerably less willing to negotiate against herself. Good. That may occasionally make her seem pickier, more questioning, or less accommodating than she used to be. And then Chat GPT says good. Because underneath all the analysis, Amy is actually looking for a fairly simple thing: people who mean what they say, relationships with substance, work that recognizes what she contributes, experiences that make life feel bigger, and enough laughter that none of it becomes unbearably serious. So the warning is don't underestimate her, don't patronize her, don't give her a half answer and expect her not to notice. And definitely don't make her repeatedly ask for the clarity that you could have given her the first time.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, I love that.
SPEAKER_03But if you're straightforward, curious, funny, and emotionally present, you'll probably get the best version of Amy that people stick around for. And fair warning, she'll still have follow-up questions.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's funny. Oh, I like it. That's so cute. Yeah. You should copy that entire thing and put it as your bio.
SPEAKER_03Oh my gosh. And not a single person would read. Except maybe you, Lena. Oh. Alright. I I do think it's scarily, scarily accurate on certain things, you know. So, but I don't remember asking it much about my dating life, so that's cute, that's curious. That's very curious.
SPEAKER_01It just knows.
SPEAKER_03It just knows. It's probably listening to me. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, it's probably scanning all your text messages and all your messages on all your apps.
SPEAKER_03And all my dating apps and our podcast conversations. It just absolutely knows all. It's listening right now.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god. It's listening.
SPEAKER_03All right, here's the warning about Gabriella, and you all need to heed this, okay? You should know a few things before meeting Gabriella. First, she will probably make you laugh before you realize you've accidentally told her your entire life story. She has a dangerous combination of zero fear of looking ridiculous and an impressive ability to turn embarrassing moments into entertainment. She, folks, is why we are here today with the podcast. If something awkward happens, don't worry, she'll probably make it a podcast episode. She is the kind of person who says, this will be quick, and suddenly you're three hours into a conversation, laughing so hard you're crying, and somehow planning an event that neither of you remembers agreeing to. She genuinely loves people a lot. I do. You do. Most people. Most people. Once you're in her circle, you're there. She will celebrate your wins, defend you when necessary, and I'm just gonna say what even when not necessary. Hype you up when you're doubting yourself and remind you of something embarrassing you did seven years ago at precisely the wrong moment.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03She also has a slight problem with the word no, not because she can't say it, but because she apparently believes every idea deserves at least a 20-minute discussion before anyone is allowed to reject it. She is creative, enthusiastic, occasionally chaotic, and far too easily talked into making things bigger and more elaborate than they need to, than they originally needed to be. She will say, She will say, I have an idea. Run. Because that sentence is never followed by anything simple. Also, don't expect her to be embarrassed by awkward silence. She has apparently reached a level of comfort with awkwardness that most humans never achieve. In fact, she may actually enjoy it.
SPEAKER_02I kind of do.
SPEAKER_03And here's the biggest warning. If you meet Gabriella, there's a pretty good chance you're going to like her. Oh. Very true. Which is inconvenient because before long you'll probably find yourself laughing at things you shouldn't, participating in some ridiculous scheme you didn't plan on joining, and wondering how someone you just met somehow became your friend. Proceed with caution. And for the love of all things awkward, never give her a good embarrassing story. Don't listen to that, folks. You have to share your embarrassing story embarrassing stories.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, definitely share them so I'm not alone.
SPEAKER_01So funny, the I have an idea of run is so funny because I didn't run and now I'm here. Yep.
SPEAKER_03She's been talking about this podcast for years. And we are both here. Yeah, here we are. And I'm the one talking. Thank you very much. I'm really not sure how this is. This is her podcast.
SPEAKER_02Our podcast.
SPEAKER_03It's okay, it's our podcast, folks. Okay, Lena. I'm just gonna preface this by saying Chat GPT doesn't know Lena as well as it knows the rest of us, but I think it did a fairly accurate uh job. And actually, this was from Gabriella's Chat GPT, so it's all probably from podcast stuff.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I'm scared.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you haven't heard it yet, have you?
SPEAKER_01I don't think so.
SPEAKER_03Warning. Before you meet Lena, there are a few things you need to know. She may appear to be the responsible one. Do not be fooled. I am responsible. Lena is tech savvy. Very true. She handles all the tech here on our pod. Which means she's usually the person keeping everything running while the rest of you are busy making questionable decisions. She has the unique ability to look like the voice of reason while somehow being directly involved in the chaos.
SPEAKER_01I was just gonna say, I'm not like busy doing stuff because I'm also involved in the chaos.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so it's right. It's right, scary. She's quick, funny, observant, and just awkward enough to fit perfectly into this group. She will absolutely remember the embarrassing embarrassing thing you did six months ago, and there is a very good chance she will bring it up at the exactly the wrong moment. Very similar to you.
SPEAKER_02Very similar.
SPEAKER_03She may not always be the loudest person in the room, but don't underestimate her. Lena has quiet chaos energy. I agree with that.
SPEAKER_01I don't think I'm very quiet.
SPEAKER_03The microphone disappears.
SPEAKER_04I'm working on it!
SPEAKER_03Give her enough time, and she will either say something that makes everyone lose it or casually reveal that she has been paying attention to everything. Proceed with caution. She's smarter than she looks, funnier than she lets on, and absolutely complicit in the awkwardness. You have been warned.
SPEAKER_01I like it. That was cute.
SPEAKER_03That was cute. That brings us to the end of our podcast for today. I would like to say that our website is up. You can go to certifiablyawkward.com and share a story with us or read more about us or find all the podcast episodes there on our website. Uh you can also still connect with us on social media. We are on Instagram as well as Facebook. Oh, and our podcast is on YouTube. Now I've had several people request that we do video, but we're not there yet.
SPEAKER_02That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03We're not there yet. We're not there emotionally and not there technically. So it may be a while, folks. But maybe someday you'll get to see our face. And in the meantime, you can just check out our posts on social media if you need to see our faces. You know, they might need to see our faces. Um, other than that, please rate our uh podcast wherever you may listen to it and share it with your friends. Thanks everyone. Good night. Bye. Bye.
