-
- I guess I kind of faint pretty easily,
-
like I'm a little goat, like a fainting goat.
-
(energetic music)
-
- [Caitlin] How long have we known each other?
-
- Oh my God, so long, like four years.
-
I remember shortly into my relationship,
-
wanting to own my sexuality more
-
like during sex, I wanted to be more in charge.
-
I was having my period, and I suggested
-
that we have sex in the shower.
-
This was one of our first shower sex moments.
-
It was like you released me from the locker room
-
at a game like at halftime, I was so ready!
-
So what I do, is I jump into the shower (shower running)
-
and without even really being any what aware
-
of what he was going through, I mount him.
-
This is getting kind of graphic but we're family.
-
So I mount him like this and I'm holding on
-
and my face is like right here and I'm just thinking
-
I'm just thinking the whole time,
-
I'm like you've got this Becky!
-
You're an animal, you're amazing!
-
But as I'm doing that, there's
-
no thought of what he's doing.
-
In this five minutes, it was very brief,
-
in this five minute period, there were
-
a few just kind of like (breathing heavy)
-
sounds which weren't on brand for him
-
but I didn't think anything of it
-
'cause once again, I'm like so in my head
-
just like, yeah you're killing it!
-
- And it also sounds like sex sounds
-
though like that could be --
-
- Kind of but it was slightly different than his usual
-
but I wasn't even, I was just completely
-
in my head, it was not about us.
-
Out of nowhere, I'm like this and then we just go down.
-
Like smack because he passed out
-
because it turns out that he had just gotten off a flight.
-
- Oh my God.
-
- And six hour flights are very dehydrating.
-
- They are.
-
- Once he came to, like he fell, boom!
-
And then I'm like, oh my God!
-
And then he kind of woke up quickly
-
and I was like, you didn't say anything,
-
you weren't saying anything!
-
And he's like, yeah that's it.
-
I wasn't, I couldn't even say anything
-
and I was like, oh yeah.
-
- 'Cause you were fainting.
-
- 'Cause you were fainting. - Or in the process.
-
- And I might have noticed that it was
-
deathly silent for almost five minutes
-
had I not been just like, yes Becky!
-
It's good to want to own your sexuality
-
but it's still a two person event.
-
- Yeah, you still have to listen to the other person.
-
- Alright, so when I was about 11 years old,
-
I was in Catholic school (bells ringing)
-
and I was alter serving one day.
-
I was with my sister and it was really hot
-
and the incense was terrible and I passed out
-
and I started leaning backwards.
-
- So this is in church?
-
- In church in front of everybody.
-
- Okay.
-
- And it was a Sunday so it was really full.
-
And my sister thought I was just screwing around
-
and so she kind of hit my back to make me sit up forward
-
and I just flew forward and hit my head on the ground
-
and fell off of the bench we were sitting on.
-
My parents were in the church watching
-
and so they freaked out.
-
A man in front of my parents tried to get up to come help
-
but my dad pushed him down, ran up,
-
and sort of charging towards the alter
-
and the priest not knowing what was happening behind him,
-
was freaking out thinking he was about to be attacked.
-
- So it looked like a scuffle.
-
- Yeah.
-
- But you're just passed out on the ground.
-
- [Emily] On the ground, yep.
-
- Oh my God.
-
- My dad comes and picks me up
-
but as he's leaning over to grab me,
-
he rips his pants in front of everybody.
-
And takes me to the back and when I wake up,
-
there's this really old deacon giving me
-
the Anointing of the Sick which is part of
-
the last rites sacrament that they give --
-
- Wait, when you die?
-
- Yeah, yep!
-
(laughing)
-
- They think that you died?
-
- I don't know!
-
He was old and probably just thought, better be safe.
-
- Might as well.
-
(laughing)
-
Might as well anoint her.
-
Oh my God...
-
literally.
-
(laughing)
-
- So this story happened three years ago,
-
spoiler alert I'm the one who fainted,
-
Becky was there so this is an awkward fainting
-
story that involves both of us.
-
Honestly for me, the whole thing was not traumatic
-
'cause I don't remember what actually happened.
-
- God.
-
- So Becky and I live on the same floor
-
of the same apartment building.
-
- How cute is that?
-
We live in the same apartment building
-
so it's literally, you can just come over.
-
It's like the show Friends.
-
- Our apartments probably aren't as
-
big as the apartments on Friends but that's fine.
-
- That's fine.
-
- So basically, I was touring their building this day,
-
to see if I wanted to move in.
-
We're standing outside on this terrace.
-
Literally as I'm signing the application
-
for the background check, for the apartment --
-
- Yeah. You were like, and how much was the rent again?
-
And she tells you and you're like, oh okay
-
and then you go back down to sign it.
-
- But apparently, I'm kind of like slumping over
-
and I say, not once but twice,
-
oh I don't think I feel very good.
-
- Oh I don't think I feel very good.
-
Like she's keeping herself presentable
-
as she's falling over.
-
- Yeah and apparently then I just crashed into Linda,
-
who's my best friend I live with.
-
- Oh my God, you just hit the ground.
-
- And I literally fell into her
-
which was good 'cause it was a tile floor.
-
- And you were out for maybe about a minute or two.
-
- Yeah.
-
- It was scary!
-
It was enough time that we went upstairs, got a rolly chair
-
and our landlady got her husband's blood pressure machine.
-
Her roommate, Linda, is on the phone being like, 911! 911!
-
And then we look at Caitlin and actually,
-
Caitlin was like, no not good
-
and then Linda was like, wait are you?
-
And you were like, yeah and it worked
-
'cause then she was like, okay nevermind
-
'cause you played it off.
-
- I just did not want to go to a hospital.
-
- Yeah.
-
- Like that was it, I just was like no,
-
I'm not going to the hospital.
-
Yeah so kind of like to this poor landlady,
-
it probably looked like she told me that the rent
-
was more expensive and then I passed the (beep) out.
-
- Hydration is important.
-
- Yeah, yeah.
-
Hydration is important. Stay hydrated.
-
- Mine is not nearly as crazy but I'll still tell it.
-
I guess I kind of faint pretty easily
-
like maybe it's a blood sugar thing or a fear thing.
-
I faint when I'm giving blood.
-
I have no control over it and it's really frustrating.
-
One time, I was getting my eye examined at the eye doctor
-
and you know how --
-
- I don't like where this story is going.
-
(laughing)
-
- And you know how they do the Glaucoma,
-
have you ever had this done?
-
Where they blow air into your eye?
-
So your head is in this like metal contraption
-
and they're just like poof, poof.
-
Just like blowing air into your eye
-
and I started to feel faint and I guess
-
I just fainted inside of the machine.
-
- Oh no!
-
- And I wake up on the ground with my mom
-
and the eye doctor standing over me.
-
The eye doctor is like fanning me
-
and very concerned and so scared.
-
He said no one had ever fainted in his office before.
-
- You were the first.
-
- I was the first.
-
(laughing)
-
And I still have no explanation as to why.
-
I think I maybe was just afraid.
-
Have you ever fainted before?
-
What's your story?
-
Comment below.
-
Also, I want to know if there's other people
-
that have fainted during church
-
'cause I feel like church just gets hot.
-
- [Emily] It does, it gets really stuffy.
-
- [Ella] So I want to know if others
-
have experienced that as well.
-
So comment with that specifically.
