What's up, beautiful people? It's your homegirl, Shameless.
And look, I have guests here.
This is Shannon. Some of you may know her. Amy.
Amy: Hi.
Maya: And this is the slumber party.
Shannon: I've been waiting for a slumber party since like,
I don't know, grade six or something like that.
Maya: And I never had one.
Shannon: No. Amy: Yeah.
Amy: I had like a compromise between the two.
Shannon: Oh!
Amy: I had like a sleepover in the tent.
Maya: That's a sleepover. Shannon: That's a sleepover.
Amy: Yeah, but it's like ooh, pretty like --
Maya: It's not this. Amy: Yeah.
Shannon: No. Nothing is this. Okay.
This is the Shameless version of a slumber party.
Amy: Yeah. This is next level.
Shannon: No one else has this at home.
Amy: [laughs] I wish I had this for sure.
Shannon: But you had friends at your slumber party, right?
Amy: Yeah. Yeah. It was just kind of awkward and silent.
I don't know. [laughter]
Maya: Spin the bottle and then no one...
Amy: Anyways, moving on from that.
Maya: This episode is all about my first.
And we're gonna share those experiences.
Amy: Because this is the first episode.
Shannon: This is the first episode.
Amy: Yay. Number one.
Shannon: To me, girl bonding is like the heart of all things beautiful.
All my favorite moments of growth
have come from girl bonding sessions.
So I'm happy to share this with you guys.
Maya: And we're happy to experience it --
Shannon: And especially for you virgins out here.
Maya: What? [laughter]
Shannon: You slumber party virgins. [laughter]
Amy: You're like wait a minute.
[laughter] I said first. I didn't really mean that.
Maya: Okay. A slumber party is not complete
without a round of games.
Amy: Whoo! Shannon: Twerk party.
Amy: Oh, well. Maya: Oh, wow.
Amy: I mean -- Shannon: No? That's just me?
[laughter]
Maya: I don't know what game you're playing,
but mush up my cupcake game.
But the game involves this bowl.
Shannon: Oh, okay. I was going to say that next.
Maya: And it's all about my firsts.
I'm picking this one.
Shannon: Drumroll. [makes drumroll noise] Whoo!
Amy: First time wasted.
Maya: First time I got wasted. Oh, goodness.
First time, 17 years old.
I was working for Roots Canada. I got so wasted that my --
Amy: Wait. Why were you getting wasted at a Roots?
Shannon: Christmas party. Amy: Oh, at a Christmas party.
Maya: They had a Christmas party and they had a --
Amy: Eggnog? No? [laughter]
Shannon: Let her tell her story.
[crosstalk]
Amy: I'm really excited. I love eggnog.
[laughter]
Maya: They had a roll of drink tickets,
and I somehow managed to get my hand on
an entire roll of drink tickets.
Amy: [laughs] Shannon: Girl.
Maya: So I just kept drinking to the point
where I fell off the barstool.
[gasps]
Maya: But I'm 17. I'm underage. Amy: Yeah.
Maya: And I'm at a work Christmas party.
So they had to take me home,
but my manager was too embarrassed
to take me to my door.
So she had her boyfriend take me to the door.
Amy: Oh, no.
Maya: And my mom was livid so she started cursing the guy out
and like, "What have you done to my daughter?"
[laughs]
Maya: "What is happening to her?"
Shannon: You couldn't play it off? You were so far gone.
Maya: I couldn't walk. I couldn't walk.
Like he had to like carry me to my door.
So that's my first wasted story.
Amy: Liquor before beer. Shannon: Liquor before beer.
Amy: Don't drink again.
That's basically what she was trying to say.
Maya: She's like, "You don't even know?
You don't even know the rhyme?
You're not supposed to even be mixing drinks like that."
I'm like, "You didn't tell me this.
We didn't have this convo."
Your turn. Next.
Amy: All right. First rap song.
Shannon/Maya: Ooh!
Maya: I can't rap.
Amy: Technically I think it would be --
I don't know if this counts as a first rap song, Fresh Prince.
Maya: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Shannon: Let's do it. [inaudible]
All three: [singing] In West Philadelphia born and raised,
on the playground is where I spent most of my days.
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool,
and I was shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys, they were up to no good
started making trouble in my neighborhood.
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared.
She said, "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air."
Amy: Okay. Next. Maya: Your turn.
Shannon: Oh, I have first kiss. Maya: Ooh.
Shannon: Anybody who knows me now knows I'm a professional kisser,
but my first kiss -- [laughter]
Amy: Sorry.
Shannon: It was really, really terrible.
Actually when I was in elementary school,
I wasn't hot at all.
I was like the tomboy one that no one liked.
And we were playing spin the bottle and somebody got me,
and they were like mad they got me.
Amy: [gasps] Aww.
Yeah. But they still like, "Okay. Fine. I'll do it fast."
And so I had this first fast ki-- I'm joking.
[laughter]
I had this first really fast kiss.
It was kind of forced.
And I was like I don't really want to count this.
Amy: Yeah.
Shannon: Because, you know. Amy: Because it sucked.
Shannon: Yeah. You know what we should do?
You know with this total sleepover like back in the day,
like the practice kissing with your hand?
Maya: Yep.
Amy: And with stuffed animals. Shannon: With your hand one.
Maya: I did the hand. Amy: Really?
Shannon: Yeah. I did the hand one. Yeah.
♪ ♪ [music abruptly stops]
Amy: Shouldn't we actually have boys at a sleepover?
Maya: My hand's not good enough for you? [laughter]
Amy: No. It's not.
Maya: No. No. We do have the guy next-door coming over, Chris.
Shannon: Ooh!
Maya: So we're going to change things up.
Shannon: I like a surprise.
Well, text and see when he's coming.
Maya: Okay. Yeah. Let me text him. Come over.
Shannon: Tell him we got a bunch of sweets.
Maya: Conversation's getting hot and heavy with my hand.
Send.
[laughter]
Shannon: Oh, do not. Maya: Okay.
Amy: Round two.
Maya: Okay.
First period.
Shannon/Amy: Ooh!
Maya: Take it in, ladies. Take it in. Take it in.
Shannon: That's a juicy one. Pun intended.
[laughter]
Maya: That's so gross. Shannon: Sorry.
[doorbell]
Shannon: Freshen up.
Chris: Hi, everyone. Maya: Chris! Chris!
Amy: Hi. Chris: Hi guys.
Maya: This is my special friend. Amy: Your male friend.
Maya: My special friend. Chris: Hello.
Amy: How do you guys know each other?
Maya: We worked on set together this --
Chris: We did. Maya: This past summer.
Shannon: An actor, are we?
Chris: In Michigan.
Maya: Michigan for a month.
We stayed in the same house.
We were slumber party --
Chris: We did kind of [inaudible], but it was --
Maya: You had a slumber party.
Chris: It was a bit like this, wasn't it?
Only there were less sort of like pink and candy fluffs.
Maya: Less pink. Less candy fluff.
Chris: Am I allowed to say this? Maya: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Well, we did our slumber party
with weed and whisky.
[laughter]
Amy: I was right.
Chris: Lots of it. Maya: Lots of it.
Chris: We'd go over the script.
Amy: Well -- Shannon: Well --
[laughter]
Shannon: We're going to offer you some sugary treats.
Chris: Oh, thank you.
Maya: Yeah. Help yourself. Chris: Yeah. And lots of it.
And we used to find hidden depth in the script.
Maya: We would go over our script.
I was high as a kite, you guys.
[crosstalk] They don't know, but --
Amy: Cupcakes instead of weed
and we have citrus water instead of whiskey.
Maya: Oh, yeah. You want some water?
Chris: You know, that is much better.
Maya: And we're going to play games. Truth or dare?
Chris: Always dare.
Shannon: Ooh! I like this one.
Amy: Living life on the edge.
Shannon: Okay. Dare. Dare. Maya: Convene. Convene.
[whispers]
We dare you to try on this lovely pink --
Chris: You're kidding.
[laughter]
Chris: What is this?
I love it. I really do love it. But like what is it?
Maya: It's all about
the conversations that you have with girlfriends
because for me growing up I didn't have girlfriends
or even an older sister or a mom to turn to --
Chris: Oh, I see. Maya: To ask advice.
Or like even like first period,
I had my first period, and I had no one to talk to.
Chris: That's interesting.
Maya: I didn't know who to talk to.
Chris: Okay. All right. Yeah. I understand.
Amy: Her mom told her to jump off a cliff.
[laughter]
Maya: My mom told me to -- Shannon: Kill yourself.
Amy: Jump down some stairs. Maya: Jump down steps
because that's how many days your period will last.
Shannon: His expression is --
Maya: You know, it actually gets even worse.
Chris: What awful advice.
Maya: Hold on. It's not awful advice.
Chris: Jump down steps?
[laughter]
Chris: Is it like coming from the days when they --
[laughter]
Maya: Okay. And then what was the other one?
I didn't even say this.
When I was young, not only did I have to jump down steps,
I didn't actually do it,
but my mom was saying how if you take the period blood
and put it on your face, you'll have clear skin.
Amy: You're kidding. Shannon: I've heard that before.
Amy: No. Maya: Yeah. Yeah.
Amy: I've never heard that.
Maya: So I had like my blood and I was just like,
"I can't do it. Mom, I can't do it."
And she's like, "Okay." [laughter]
Maya: It was almost like she wanted to see if I would do it.
Amy: She was like "your loss."
Is this your first blowjob?
Chris: Maybe.
[laughter]
Female: Maybe.
Amy: Who was your first kiss?
Chris: My first kiss is a somewhat underwhelming moment.
So I went to an all-boys' school.
Shannon: Oh, this story's getting juicy already.
Chris: Hang on a minute. [laughter]
No. So the way they used to make sure
that when you get to 18 and leave school,
that you haven't like not talked to any girls
and you can't function socially,
they used to have dances where they'd invite girls.
Amy: Oh, to make sure that you're not
like this weird like --
Chris: You're like 18 and suddenly like oh my god.
[laughter]
At one of these dances what used to happen
is you used to start off and everyone's really shy,
and by the end everyone's sort of snogging.
That's the way that used to go [inaudible] happen.
Shannon: Sorry, they're what?
Amy: Snogging. Maya: What is this word?
Amy: I think that's making out, right?
Maya: Is that what it is? Amy: Is that what it is?
Shannon: That is the ugliest word for making out I've ever heard.
Maya: Snogging.
Chris: It is an awful word actually.
Now that you mention it, I -
Amy: It sounds like snot.
Chris: I listen to it myself, that's awful.
Amy: Snotting.
Chris: There is a much better word.
Yeah. You guys have better words for that.
Shannon: I love making out. Amy: Making out?
Chris: Making out, yeah. Okay. Fair enough.
Amy: French kissing.
Chris: So by the end everyone's making out.
Shannon: Thank you.
Chris: But in English making out means pretending.
Like making out to do something when you're actually not.
Female: Oh! Chris: So, yeah.
Little did I know that as soon as I finished my first kiss,
the girl had been playing a completion with her other --
as to how many -- Girls: Aww!
Chris: So I finish my first kiss,
watched her mark it up on her arm.
Maya: No!
Chris: In a sort of tally chart with an eye-pencil.
Amy: Oh my god.
Chris: Like that. And go off and compare it to her mates.
Amy: How old were you?
Shannon: I was grade nine for my first kiss.
Maya: First kiss in ninth grade? Shannon: Yeah.
Maya: What about you? Amy: I was like seven.
Shannon: Seven?
Amy: It was like the kid's name was Andy.
He was like this like Hispanic --
-You remember his name? - Yeah of course I remember him.
He was my first kiss.
So he gave me a peck on the lips and then I got chicken pox.
Maya: [gasps] Shannon: Oh!
Amy: Yeah. I guess he had chicken pox.
And then I realized like two days later I was itchy all over.
And then I got chicken pox.
Shannon: That's not bad
because 10 years later then you get herpes, so chicken pox --
Amy: Yeah. You know,
it was a good training wheels situation.
Chris: I like what you bring to this. [laughter]
Amy: Truth or dare?
Chris: Oh, is it my go again? Hang on a second.
Amy: Yeah, it is your go again. Chris: I missed the other --
Maya: You missed our rounds. You need to catch up.
Chris: Truth. Amy: Okay.
Shannon: Ooh! First love.
Chris: It was probably
I was doing drama back in the day at school,
and they put on a production of "Alice in Wonderland."
And it was the girl who played Alice.
Shannon: Oh, how cliché.
Amy: You have the most decadent --
Maya: I know. Amy: Like fantastic --
Maya: With his accent too. Amy: Yeah. She was Alice.
Maya: Like she was Alice in Wonderland.
Shannon: And I was probably the caterpillar.
[laughter]
Amy: I was the mushroom.
Shannon: Did she love you back though?
Chris: I don't think she even knew my name until later on.
Shannon: That's real love to you?
Chris: Let's see, I was probably about 12.
Female: Love or lust?
Maya: Why love? Like what makes you say love for that one?
Female: Or a crush? Female: Yeah.
Chris: Well, I mean because at that age --
yeah, having this conversation as my nails
are being painted fluorescent pink.
[laughter]
Chris: Because I think at that age things are felt more intensely.
And so probably I was in more love then than like --
Female: You're right. Chris: I don't know. Yeah.
And it was heartbreaking that she didn't know who I was.
This is brilliant actually.
Shannon: Who did you play in the play?
Chris: I didn't get into that one.
Shannon: Oh.
Chris: That's what made me think.
At that point I was like hmm.
So I went to an all-boys' school.
Amy: Oh.
Chris: And it didn't --
[laughter]
Shannon: That's what sparked your passion for acting.
Maya: And Chris is an actor.
Chris: Literally that was the first thing.
I like to think it's gotten a little deeper since then,
but that's where it came from.
Shannon: That's always where it comes from.
That little tear, little tear for Alice,
the one that got away.
We didn't ask you to sleep over
because it's kind of like an all-girls' thing.
Chris: I understand. I'll leave you guys to it.
Amy: So get out of here.
Chris: I'll leave you guys to it.
Maya: Bye, Chris.
Amy: Thanks for coming. Chris: Thanks for having me.
Maya: Get out of here. Amy: Bye.
Shannon: We're not going to snog?
[laughter]
Shannon: If you could go back and give yourself advice
through some of your firsts, what would you tell yourself?
Maya: I would say listen to your gut.
Amy: It's okay to stand up for yourself
and not be pressured to not say anything
or feel like you'll be looked down upon
or somebody will think negatively of you.
Shannon: Mm-hmm. Or comparing yourself to Disney or to movies.
It's like that's your first
and like really focus on the actual experience.
As long as it was positive for you and you chose that,
then it was good.
Amy: Yeah.
Shannon: And you'll learn and you'll get better as time goes on,
but your first, you can never take that back or change it.
So appreciate it for what it was.
Amy: And it's yours.
Maya: That's it for now, you guys.
