I Got Escorted Out of Church by the Police

This week, Mel and Jessie are recording from a top-secret dungeon (for legal reasons, apparently) and catching up on the first few weeks of summer.The conversation starts with summer survival, pool day dreams, 75 Hard updates, magnesium margaritas, and the pressure society puts on people who choose not to drink. From there, they spiral into discussions about weight-loss shots, Ozempic culture, low-rise jean trauma, and why millennials are still recovering from the early 2000s.Then things get interesting.A listener shares the unbelievable story of being escorted out of church by police as a teenager after a misunderstanding with their parents. That story launches Mel and Jessie into their own teenage adventures, including sneaking out, getting blamed for things they didn't do, and one absolutely terrible decision involving strangers, the mountains, and a situation that could have easily ended up on Dateline.And because no Small Town Shit episode stays on track for long, the episode somehow ends with an in-depth discussion about public bathroom etiquette, fart anxiety, and one unfortunate freshman-year incident that ruined an innocent guy's reputation.In This Episode:Summer break survival modeStarting 75 Hard (again)Non-alcoholic magnesium margaritasOzempic, weight-loss culture, and health trendsThe trauma of low-rise jeansThe listener who got escorted out of church by policeSneaking out as teenagersThe questionable decisions we survived as kidsWhy boys are chaos in publicPublic bathroom embarrassmentFart theoriesThe story that got poor Kyle blamed for something he didn't doQuestion of the Week:What's the worst place you've ever farted?And what's the dumbest thing you did as a teenager that somehow didn't get you killed?Send us your stories, we'll be reading our favorites on a future episode.
