In celebration of National Storytelling Week, I'll
Speaker:
00:00:14
be publishing individual stories each day.
Speaker:
00:00:18
This story was told live on stage at Petras by
Speaker:
00:00:22
Brian Penn.
Speaker:
00:00:29
Hey, everybody.
Speaker:
00:00:37
So I noticed as everyone was going up, a lot of
Speaker:
00:00:40
people have, like, stage names or like, sex
Speaker:
00:00:46
positive Sally and, you know, just fun.
Speaker:
00:00:53
Well, I just did it because I'm so used to always
Speaker:
00:00:55
putting my normal life just my name and tell
Speaker:
00:00:58
these first names and code names.
Speaker:
00:01:00
I'm hearing all these stories like, all right, that's
Speaker:
00:01:03
my name.
Speaker:
00:01:05
It has been a saucy night tonight.
Speaker:
00:01:11
Well, I'm a horny in a group of 100 people.
Speaker:
00:01:14
Some of you have been in this position before.
Speaker:
00:01:18
Many position.
Speaker:
00:01:18
Many.
Speaker:
00:01:21
That was quick.
Speaker:
00:01:22
I liked it.
Speaker:
00:01:22
Yeah, no, I hadn't really planned on telling a
Speaker:
00:01:27
saucy story here.
Speaker:
00:01:29
Here's a could have been saucy story.
Speaker:
00:01:32
It's one of those yeah.
Speaker:
00:01:35
In my teens and early 20s, for whatever reason, I
Speaker:
00:01:39
don't know what you call it, but I didn't feel like I
Speaker:
00:01:42
was a very desired person.
Speaker:
00:01:45
And the therapy, I got over it.
Speaker:
00:01:50
But the worst is I had no idea when somebody
Speaker:
00:01:55
was interested in me, ever.
Speaker:
00:01:58
Every single time it'll go over my head.
Speaker:
00:02:00
We're at a party.
Speaker:
00:02:01
I'm at this party, I'm talking to this girl, and at one
Speaker:
00:02:06
point she takes her cigarette out and she puts it
Speaker:
00:02:10
in my mouth, right?
Speaker:
00:02:12
And I'm thinking to myself, like, I think this girl
Speaker:
00:02:17
might I think maybe she could possibly be into
Speaker:
00:02:23
me.
Speaker:
00:02:23
I don't know where to go.
Speaker:
00:02:26
I was like, I don't know.
Speaker:
00:02:27
But for real, I'm 51% sure this woman isn't my
Speaker:
00:02:37
and so the party's winding down.
Speaker:
00:02:39
And even if she was, I wouldn't know what to do.
Speaker:
00:02:41
I was like, 20.
Speaker:
00:02:42
I have no idea.
Speaker:
00:02:43
Unless we're both naked on a bed.
Speaker:
00:02:45
I really don't.
Speaker:
00:02:46
But from this to that, I don't know.
Speaker:
00:02:48
The ends of the middle part, I think I'm like, okay,
Speaker:
00:02:56
well, maybe I know that bed is where sex
Speaker:
00:02:59
happens.
Speaker:
00:03:01
I need to get us closer to bed somehow, right?
Speaker:
00:03:09
I'm a very tactical, strategic person.
Speaker:
00:03:13
I've been my entire life.
Speaker:
00:03:16
Meanwhile, she's down.
Speaker:
00:03:19
I learned that years later, right?
Speaker:
00:03:23
So if we get upstairs, I'm like, what do I do up
Speaker:
00:03:25
there?
Speaker:
00:03:25
I don't know.
Speaker:
00:03:26
Show us some some interest that's going to get
Speaker:
00:03:28
cringe.
Speaker:
00:03:28
I'm going to let you know, like, consensual cringe,
Speaker:
00:03:33
but like, oh, dude, that kind of cringe.
Speaker:
00:03:37
I'm like, oh, maybe if I could show her my art
Speaker:
00:03:43
book, I can do that.
Speaker:
00:03:53
So we get upstairs, right?
Speaker:
00:03:55
And I'm like, yeah.
Speaker:
00:03:56
So I'll just sit on this mattress that has no frame.
Speaker:
00:03:59
And I was like, no.
Speaker:
00:04:12
And so I go over this five star Mead notebook
Speaker:
00:04:18
filled with doodles.
Speaker:
00:04:24
Filled with doodles that I drew when I was sad.
Speaker:
00:04:28
I didn't tell her that. I knew that much.
Speaker:
00:04:31
I knew I shouldn't tell her that. For half an hour as
Speaker:
00:04:40
she slowly dries like a lake bed, like an ancient
Speaker:
00:04:45
lake bed.
Speaker:
00:04:48
So at the end of that, we get to the end of the
Speaker:
00:04:51
book.
Speaker:
00:04:52
I'm like, you know, I still don't how do I we're at
Speaker:
00:04:54
the bed, but like, how do I and so I'm like, so do
Speaker:
00:04:58
you want to, like, sleep here tonight or and she
Speaker:
00:05:03
goes, you know, I don't want to do that, but here.
Speaker:
00:05:08
And then she, like, kisses me and she says, all
Speaker:
00:05:10
right, good night, and goes. But there's a silver
Speaker:
00:05:19
lining.
Speaker:
00:05:21
Because three years later... I'm kidding.
Speaker:
00:05:24
There, no, that was the end. Come back
Speaker:
00:05:30
tomorrow as I publish another individual story in
Speaker:
00:05:33
celebration of National Storytelling Week.
Speaker:
00:05:37
