Come on, don't be a prude, now you're just being rude. oh so whiny so extra when's period when are periods coming am i i just my period hasn't ended in 10 years honestly i've been in period mode for 10 years at least when does period start because i'm so pissed off today i had one of

the worst ones i've had in months last week during the middle of girls rock actually it started the day girls rock started and then didn't end until it was over there's probably something cathartic about that i don't know i don't know crim Crimson waves. Yeah. But Girls Rock went okay. You didn't die. That was good news. Did not die. No one died.

No one died. No camper died. No camper passed away. It was great. I didn't even think about that. I had a boss that when things kind of went bad, but she was trying to make you feel better, she'd say, no small children perished. Perished is my favorite word small no small children perished no small children perished at girls rock camp i think that makes it a rounding success that really would be the worst thing ever to happen ever so the fact that that didn't happen is pretty good right she was always just trying to put things in perspective yeah real optimist that one well nobody died real

glass half full kind of yeah could have been worse so you want to tell us about girls rock camp no i'll take this i feel like i've talked about girls rock camp for an entire year are you are you over it no you just got a tattoo of it yesterday girls rock camp fatigue is a real thing i don't know if they have it on webmd yet i think it's just fatigue organizing a first year week-long music music camp for children regardless is going to destroy you mind body and body, and soul in the best ways. But I can give you a rundown. Girls Rock Camp is a week-long music camp that focuses on self-empowerment and social justice

and just giving space to those that are marginalized in our society, like queer and trans youth and gender non-conforming and also girls girls also girls also girls the ones that are nasty girls not nasty so nasty this is where i'll cut in lara saying things on the radio to make you cry yeah i basically cried all week i recruited and begged children to sign up just to make me cry i could really use a release about now rounding rounding out 26 so you guys could just show up and say a bunch of cute stuff learn an instrument and totally destroy me that'd be great it's like all of them had like these glossed over eyes the entire time because they were just so happy that was oh it was hard to look at them in the eyes i was just saying too that like i really i expected

them to appreciate it but probably not for years from now like i expected them to like grow up and be like hey that was really cool or like a couple of them at the end of the week being like yeah all right i learned to play guitar that rules but i mean first day we're all just like oh god it's so beautiful they feel so free like it just like and then really by the end of the week they really the fact that some of them said that like i could tell what they wanted to give us and i think that they really succeeded that was the thing that was like god shut up yeah they were so self-aware yeah shockingly so more so than i was that's what that's what i was gonna say at that age the theme that kept like every the thing that kept coming back to me all week was trying to reconnect to my own 13 year old self and try to like remember so I could relate it's impossible because these are not 13

year olds the way I was a 13 year old it's completely different it's crazy I never would have even probably at that age like at the younger end of the spectrum 12 13 I probably would never have opened up the way some of them did even if I was there with a close friend I don't think I would have felt comfortable doing that yeah and I also think like it I felt like I was there with a close friend I don't think I would have felt comfortable doing that yeah and I also think like it I felt like I was doing the same thing that you were doing Tanya where I was just trying to figure out how I was when I was younger and then I realized that like kids these days are so different like internet really is affecting them and like all this social media pressure really is happening and it's obvious

and so this space was so cool because it was so like absent of that it was just all of us hanging out just telling each other how cool we all are yeah i thought we'd kind of struggle with the whole like try not to be on your smartphone be present thing i thought we'd kind of have an issue with it we didn't at all not at all i think that they welcomed that more than anything actually i think they were like okay cool i don't even need yeah my phone yeah like there was just plenty of stuff to do there was like instruments to play zines to make or read block printing like so many awesome things to be involved in that like who who cared about their phones like and they even just had good one-on-one time with each other like they they talked a lot and in person that was kind of nice to see um yeah so when i was 13 i didn't have internet i didn't know anyone with the internet

i didn't have a cell phone i didn't know anyone with a cell phone when i was 13 they brought the first computer into my school i remember it like the first computer that my school got i was like sitting in sixth grade maybe that was 12 we had 12 and 13 year olds but i remember them bringing the first computer into my classroom and my teacher being like hey you ain't bringing that thing in here not today satan not my classroom imagine if they tried taking one out now i I know, it would be the same. Not today, Satan. Cry this from my cold, dead hands. But yeah, I remember they closed the door

and argued outside the door about her getting the computer. And she was like, I told so-and-so it wasn't coming in here. Put it in the family resource center. Next to the deodorant drugs and computers is gonna take the world over speaking and it has speaking of speaking of so we are joined today on Trillbillies by Slutpill. Pillbillies. Yeah, by these pillbillies. Pillbills. Slutpillbillies. And we intro'd the episode today with one of their tunes.

Y'all want to tell us about it? And introduce yourselves? Yeah. So my name's Michela and I play guitar and vocals in Slutpill. Hey! I'm going to like work in a bunch of fireworks right now. And I believe the intro song was our tune called Whitesburg Snob.

And we basically wrote that about the fragile, toxic male ego. And yeah, I mean, the others can introduce themselves and elaborate more if they'd like i'm paulina i play drums and yeah we write songs about a lot of really like uh as a matter of fact things it's very simple it's very simplified and literally what we are all thinking all of the time and we're just we just put it with a melody it's been working out really working um i'm carrie i've been on this show before yeah carrie was actually on the first all fam trailbillies episode that's right That's right. This is a great reunion.

That was probably about a year ago, honestly. Yeah, because I was actually looking at notes on my phone the other day, and I saw a reading list I had written during that episode because of you and your friend. I would love to see that. Yeah. That was Sam Cole. Sam Cole, yeah. She's such a bad bitch.

Wow. Love her. Yeah. Shout out to you, Sam. She's a big Trillbillies fan. Heck yeah. Pillbillies.illbillies fan heck yeah pillbillies um yeah i play bass and um it's good yeah we write a lot of songs about it it's funny that people i've always heard people talk about um using songwriting as like a way to work through stuff and being cathartic it really is kind of every time

we get together and we're like feeling things that's usually when we come up with some good shit like this thing made me mad can we just sing about it and it usually just comes up yeah sounds really good i like it it's like we have a song called get fucked and it's literally just about all the times and situations where you just want to we have a song called get fucked and it's literally just about all the times and situations where you just want to tell everyone to just go get fucked and like leave me alone specifically though the bosses specifically your bosses which is a very socialist tune i don't know if that was intentional but uh hey it just happens highly political slut peel here we are pretty political political political and articulate

but uh i think our the most recent flyer um we were called contraceptive rock oh yeah that made me so happy i want to take that wherever we go yeah that's the thing well i think it will i can't give anything away because i i'm keeping this real close to the thing well i think it will i can't give anything away because i i'm keeping this real close to the heart because i'm working on some band art that i'm really really happy about it i can't describe it yet but it'll be out in the world soon but it's going to be perfect for contraceptive rock yeah i'm so excited you all are going to start a whole new genre i really think so it's a real then i already did yeah done already then i already did start it yeah done done done started done and done check it off speaking of that flyer was it that flyer

that got ripped down in harlan county was oh yeah was it that one or a different one no that's the one for the one on monday oh yeah i think because i think no no it wasn't no it wasn't it was for the one over in cumberland i keep getting mixed up slut peel met some uh some aggression over in bloody harland i honestly got really excited about it i did too it was the most i struggle with being i consider myself the least punk of us because I'm a 31 year old mom playing electric bass for the first time thank you I appreciate that I try to be a very cool mom but I um I my husband had to teach me how to use our amps when I was like I'm gonna play with Michelle and Paulina I don't know what I'm doing I play the fiddle I play old time fiddle what am i doing but royal old time family of the mountains not a royal electric bass punk family might i add i feel like you're rebelling against your whole family but the thing is is i'm not but

i do get really uncomfortable trying to be like i'm in a band called slut pill yeah don't tell our dads don't tell our dads. Don't tell our dads. No one tell the dad. No one tell dad. But anyway, we played our first show. I was just like, guys, I'm not punk enough to do this. I can't do this. I don't know what I'm doing.

And then we did it, and it was fine. It's fun. Obviously, we have a lot of fun when we play together. Otherwise, we wouldn't be doing it. But then this guy got really mad about our apparently slut is a dirty word. I didn't know that. My reaction was, oh if you think slut pill's bad, I think we'll change our name to fuck pill. Yeah, and we're all in a

text group. Group text? Why can't I speak? We're in a group text together and I was just getting i think i was in omaha and you guys were texting me about it and carrie was like i'm finally punk i know i felt really i it just felt it felt cool it did it felt cool yeah when michella is like texting and granting i'm always like what's helen got to say about it oh yeah helen helen helen helen ham basket i feel like that's a story we're sharing yeah let me tell you about helen a ham basket yes ham ham language barrier this was a lost in translation mishap.

Okay. Trailbillies actually specializes in this. Good, good. So back in the day, way back when, in the Stone Age of MySpace, my MySpace name was Helen A Hand Basket. Clever. Like a hand basket clever like a hand basket like going to hell in a hand basket play on words get it love it yeah yeah okay so then so okay you're with me here okay so then we play this song and we're like yeah we can call it howling hell in a ham basket paulina thought we were saying helen a ham basket like canadian bacon like canadian bacon ham basket ham basket but also it's kind of a really brilliant euphemism for

vagin so i really like it on that level too so our group text name is helen ham basket and i honestly i get a lot of joy out of it every time i open my phone every time every time tisket a tasket one day y'all when y'all are big and famous you can release the transcripts of our text of. Of Helen Hambasket. Those are interesting things. Those are interesting things. Me and the boys have threatened to make it a Patreon premium. If you give us a hundred bucks, we'll send you the transcripts

of our group chats. Our group messages, which they're pretty boring these days, but they used to be pretty ripe with haterade and I can only imagine and a lot of smut damn what was the other song we were gonna write i forgot to write it down right then do you have out the list of future oh you should share a few of our i can't give it all away we can't give it all away i'll give two away mom, if you are giving the milk away for free, who's going to buy the cow?

Oh my God. Oh God. Shit, man. Give us one. I'll give you one. One diddy. Crocs rocker, crotch rockerer i don't have that one on my list i forget about all of these for all of those that wear crocs like

i'm sad i don't have crocs on right now my 18 month old child only wants to wear these pink crocs that have like charms on them it's a Minnie Mouse charm and a daisy duck but she like brings them to me walk walk everything has that tone oh I have a couple that I can share okay I just found so I have sober sally kraut and the flaccid ballad I don't remember that can that be like an 80s hair ballad but that is so many flaccid ballads

so many college weekends I hate to give this one away but it's just so fun to say um plinko but with titties it's just the best thing to read ever. Titties. I just want to know what we're talking about. Gosh.

Oh, my God. What are we talking about? That's hardly the most important part of that. I think one more. Okay. Titties. Flat footin' on my last nerve. Oh, yeah, that's on here.

And that's dedicated to everyone who likes a secure stamp. You get what I'm saying? A secure stamp. Oh, I'll just take two tomorrow is really good, too. I'll just take two tomorrow. Oh, yeah. Because that's specifically about your slut pills. That's right.

Well, so our name, Slut Pill, came from, well, okay, so I think it's awesome that this guy, apparently, so backtracking a little bit, the guy in Harlan that was mad, I guess this poster got put for the show put up in his business window without his consent how dare someone suddenly men understand consent shots fired we're all the same deep down um wow and then he didn't appreciate that one of the bands had a dirty word again is that really like that bad of a word like you sure what the people men call women sluts oh pill might have been it yeah maybe it was bill who knows i don't tell that to the other

13 year old boys in my class that didn't get a computer they didn't think slut was a bad word well but he got mad and i think he started ripping down other posters too like that's a bit excessive like he went on a frenzy maybe but anyway it's it they also do this show for like all ages you know no drugs no alcohol super friendly show just loud music to dance it's so fun and all and also it's a place where there's not a lot for people to do so they're giving youth a safe space in which to do something fun that's great well um my my reaction along with wanting to just change our name to fuck pill was also that like i like i'm again normal boring person 31 mom yeah no i can anyway but i was like i would love to go meet this guy and talk to him be like hey with your baby on your hip my

baby on my hip and him be like what are you doing in harlan be like oh i'm playing a show tonight with my band oh what's your band called slut pill yeah it's fine and this is ophelia and this is my child get off get off it get off it but the funny thing about our name we we played with several different names and um every time we practice it's late-ish in the evening and i have an alarm on my phone for nine o'clock every evening to take my birth control pills because i want to be a mom of one and um and i'm a married mom boring mom and but you know michelle used to joke with roommates i think about calling it your slut pill take your slut pill oh yeah the alarm would go off and be like slut pill yeah take my pill slut pill slut pill and that's pretty great it's not like we're like oh god

I can't dare be pregnant because I'm sleeping around with so many different people it's no it's like I don't want to get pregnant again because it sucks yeah there's so many reasons that's my slut pill story I feel like that should be one of those empowering female

like yeah we're taking it back what's your slut pill gosh I wish everyone could see your hands right now should be one of those like empowering female like yeah we're taking it back taking it back what's your slut pill what what's your slut pill gosh i wish everyone could see your hands right now thank you air punch she's a maniac on slut pills um so that's where our name came from yeah yeah and at first it was funny because you, when we're practicing and we're all together, we are so empowered and we're like, this is great. Like, we feel great. And then like when you kind of take a step back from it, I think that's when for me, when my insecurities start to come out and I'm just like, oh, God, I just formed a band. We just formed a band and we're called slut pill and we're gonna have to what are we doing loud and what did I do and so like that came up a couple of times and I remember um Carrie and I you know we had some concerns about our family knowing that our name is slut

pill and can we post this stuff on Facebook and like can we tell our parents this like just having that kind of a different relationship with like people in our family and, and realizing, I mean, my family's not super conservative at all, but I mean, it still just feels a little weird sometimes because, you know, I don't cuss around my family and everything is just very like, you know, but Michelle was so good about being like, this is cool. Like we should just keep it. Like, this is so cool.

Like relax. And we both were like, okay. Like she put us in check real quick. She's like, hit the blunt keep it. Like, this is so cool. Like, relax. And we both were like, okay. Like, she put us in check real quick. She's like, hit the blunt one time. Yeah. She held us back out. And we did. And it's been great.

And we did hit the blunt. And it was awesome. Yeah. It was kind of like overnight. It was like a lot of worries. And like, what are we going to do? And I was like, fuck it. Like, let's do it.

This is the point. It is. Yeah. It's totally the point. I would never tell anyone else to not have, like, a really great name and vibe and band. Like, I would be like, hell yeah. Who gives a shit what anyone thinks? So, you just have to, I don't know.

That and people chant our name a lot. Not trying to sound pretentious, but they're like, we love Slutpill. Chat, chat, chat, chat, chat. I'm like like what the fuck that's what i was desperate for audio recording of this has to go on your album do what you can to make this happen people are literally chanting this is awesome It's awesome. Little do they know. Oh, I just want to say, though, don't let Michella fool you. When she goes to see her dad, she takes out her septum ring, which I think is so cute.

I didn't know that. You hang it on your rearview mirror. I do. I hang it on my rearview mirror. It's like your little ring dish by the sink for washing dishes yeah i don't know it's like a weird respect thing it's like yeah dad i'm in a band called slut pill i know you don't give a shit about that but it's like piercing and holes in my body he's like i don't see why you made more do that and i'm like it's more about us though it's more about like with me and my dad it's more

i just don't want to hear it yeah that's it's just like like it's fine but well and they're my parents are super liberal not very religious like i i won the family lottery for sure like i'm privileged in that uh i get that but also my dad is a was a teacher like a high school english teacher he's a lecturer and they also don school English teacher. He's a lecturer. And they also don't understand tattoo. I do have a lot of tattoos. My sister and I both have a lot of tattoos. And he went to the guy that does tattoos here in town that is also a really tremendous musician and artist and a really wonderful person. But he and my brother are good friends.

And my dad, like, threatened him. Was like, you do not tattoo jesse don't tattoo him you're not allowed to and like my brother around thanksgiving was just like i think i'm ready i'm gonna go john you touch i'm like john's not gonna tattoo you he's terrified of our dad like he's not gonna do it so they just don't you but not jesse well i did already it was too late it had already happened it's like i have to have one child untainted but i don't i don't. But not Jesse. Well, it was too late. It had already happened. It's like I have to have one child untainted. But I don't know what it is about that generation, but they are like not into it. I guess they're just for like prison folk and military folk.

What do you think your dad was like at 13? My dad? Yeah. Hmm. Probably a little bit of a shithead. A little bit, at least. But least but he i don't know my they had kind of a rough like his dad had died probably like two years prior at that age i'm convinced 13 is the hardest age yeah of life of your lifespan because your body's changing like

so tremendously and you're not a kid you're not an adult and everything seems so final you know everything seems so just uh yeah but you're not old enough yet to like like i remember it was hard because i was just like i just wanted to drive i just wanted to get in the car and drive and i wanted to be a little bit older so that i could do cool shit but you can't a little bit older so that I could do cool shit. But you can't. Did you guys have the internet? Yeah.

Oregon Trail and those cool, with the groceries and you had to type in how much it cost. Oh my gosh. Those would be very good. I can type super fast, y'all. I think we might have had a computer by then at our house. Yeah, when I was a teenager. Yeah, we had dial-up and a big ass a teenager, yeah, we had dial-up and a big-ass gateway computer. Yes, we had dial-up. Well, when I was,

by the time I was like 16, I was, I had, maybe 17, 16, 17, we had gotten a computer and I was using those AOL CDs. Oh, yeah. Nice. I had like MSN, I had all those different messengers, because I would like talk to my friends from far away on different, like my cousins and stuff.

When some of my cousins were on AIM and some were on MSN and I would talk to them and then ICQ was really big. ICQ, I was literally about to say that. That was so big here. Can we have a song that's just called, uh oh? Yeah, like what's your ICQ number? Matt still knows his just called, ah? Yeah. Like, what's your ICQ number? Matt still knows his. Are you serious? Yeah.

He'll recite it to you tomorrow when he sees you. Just ask him, what was your ICQ number? Can we bring ICQ back? Why, though? Why not, though? I think that we went through a thing where we actually tried to. We were, like, looking it up and trying to figure it out. I think Yahoo Messenger

like called it quits recently. Yacht Time in general needs to call it quits. It's literally garbage. It's literally garbage. We're trashing Yahoo. That's how you got hacked? Yeah. Like a bunch of Yahoo accounts got hacked recently. Has that gotten sorted out? Yeah, I deleted it.

You had to delete your whole Facebook? Yeah, for sure. Eli went in and like saved a bunch of my photos while i was in ohio because i couldn't get into it and so but my entire you know it's weird because like i don't i hate facebook now but like it was like my life like you know you you i just had a facebook since i was 16 so like all my photos were on there everything was on there and it's just weird so you finally got back into it to delete it yeah yeah it was very odd because of a dream i think i told you all this no i had a dream like i got locked out of my facebook and this man by the name of abdullah hacked my facebook and then like changed my profile picture to a picture of him and then

like was sending people like weird stuff and but was he a real person or was he just like a bot or something it was probably a bot i don't i feel like there's no real humans on the internet anymore i think they're all fake i don't know i don't know either way it was really invasive yeah and so i was like so anyways i like tried to get back into it and try to get people to like michelle said that she like sent facebook a very long whatever eloquent yeah strongly worded that's what you got facebook yeah from the moms and you were the only one which is crazy and facebook didn't do anything about it and yeah like people were spamming like all the pictures like it was weird and so then i had i'd like went to sleep i

was so stressed out i was on vacation visiting my. I was so stressed out because there's a lot of stuff in there, like bank stuff and addresses and photos and just really personal things on there that I didn't even think to delete. And, um, then I had a dream in the middle of the night that I got into it. And I remember in my dream, I was like, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God,

I'm in, I'm in and like changed everything. And then I woke up the next morning and I was like, that was this really dumb dream. Cause like, it's not going to work. And I tried it and it worked. The thing that you dreamed would work.

The thing that I dreamed worked. And, but I did, I did nothing different. The only reason I was able to get back into it was because he had changed, whoever it was, had changed the country that it was in. So in the U.S., you can't, it doesn't give you an option to change your email, but in whatever country he was in, like in Turkey or something,

you can change your email. It was very odd, very, very odd. But I did it, and I was in, and I changed everything, and I was like, this motherfucker motherfucker it's over for you you are done with my face being me get out of my face oh i haven't had facebook in years i don't ever no i never will yeah i did a two-year uh hiatus it was lovely probably go back i'm thinking about it i kept it for work slut pill the band with no facebook it's just so very consuming it's time consuming for no reason they don't care about you facebook doesn't care about any of us well i don't to be fair i don't care about facebook i don't either mutual it's nice to like see your family and

friends that you don't keep up with but at the same time like just call them well i remember i remember when social media was almost a class experiment all of my family all my cousins were on myspace but everybody i met met at college was on Facebook. None of the two shall meet, though. They were very separate. Now the worlds have collided. Yeah, that's true. Do you remember when MySpace, like, started to stop?

Yeah, it was very sad. I remember that. I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Well, I had already ditched it, but my i was so i loved coding me too i loved making my layouts and my profile playlist so many people learned html so many yeah by creating hell yeah we did she's so pissed fuck mark zuckerberg asshole dumbing everybody down fucking templates okay i? I'm surprised he hasn't changed anything, like making it

personalizing your page and everything. I mean, people don't care. Facebook exists for advertising. That's true, because your phones are listening to you right now. Oh, God. This is slipping quickly into conspiracy theory. There's no conspiracy.

Like every other episode we're really in our comfort zone right now love it oh lord paulina have you ever heard of trailbillies episode no i don't listen to podcasts actually at all, which is probably weird. Clever girl. I only did when I had to drop 30 minutes one way for work. When I quit my job, I was like, I don't have any reason to turn this on anymore. That hazard to me was rough.

Actually, the only podcast I listen to is that beautiful anonymous podcast by Chris Gethard. That's the only one. Yeah, we listen to that. Yeah. Sounds nice. It's really good. It's bizarre good i like the really creepy true crime ones i feel like i could create her own creepy true crime i would love it if you would that is a weird thing weird personality trait of you we haven't talked about this yet why am i getting singled out oh my

bad sorry i just really want to i want to hear more about that shit one time i had like the flu i was like really really sick and i went over to your house and i was like shivering under a blanket and you were like do you want to watch true crimes and i was like she was like you have to watch this episode i've watched it like three times already like i'll explain everything and it was just like in it and i was like freezing i love shit like that it was super funny that me i knew that matt and i were gonna be fine when i saw his collection of serial killer books it's just interesting he's not he's not kill anybody. It's just cool. I don't know. He has a pretty bad temper. I wouldn't. Oh, no.

Yeah. I wouldn't go that far. He could, I guess. He would never kill anyone. That's true. I take that back. Him and Terrence have conspired many murders. What I mean is that I was not terrified by the serial killer book collection.

I was intrigued. Yeah. serial killer book collection i was intrigued yeah we just watched um like a home interior show where it's just like 20 minutes just showing like different interiors and there was this guy who had like he has the single largest personally owned horror movie prop yes we watched that i watched that oh my god his wife was like they filmed her like dusting and taking care of it yes and she's like i fucking hate this yeah she's like it's pretty creepy but like she's not gonna wake up i mean it's totally fake like it's fake and then she's just like looking at it like she's fake really trying to convince herself nothing's gonna go down in this doll room where she's like dusting

fucking figures this is fine this is not real everything's fine i'm just dusting it because it's not alive that dude has edward scissor is like edward scissorhands hands edward scissor hands like where like do you go to an auction for that? Is that an eBay? What did he say? I mean, he spent like millions of dollars on all this shit.

I wish. That's one of my favorite movies. Edward Scissorhands. There's a lot of ASMR in that movie. Oh my god. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Can you tell us what ASMR is?

You're actually the first person to explain this to me, Paulina. I feel like a lot of people tell me that. Explain this to me. Okay. Explain this to AAA's listeners. ASMR. ASMR. I'm so freaked out.

We're peaking levels over here. Oh, God. Oh, if only you had a bowl of noodles. You are gross. I'm yucking the fuck out of your young. You are. I feel like her dog, Louie, does this. Don't you think?

ASMR? Yeah. Yeah? Like, gives you ASMR? I don't understand. Explain it again. I don't understand what's happening. Okay, so ASMR stands for, I think it's

autonomous, autonomous, sensory meridian response. And it's basically a reaction in your body it's a physical reaction that you have it's not an orgasm people are always thinking it's sexual but it's like this tingling in your brain or your back or somewhere in your body where it's like this super deep relaxation that happens happens, um, from auditory stimuli or visual stimuli. So for example, there are tons of videos on YouTube and there's a whole world out there if you ever want to search for it. Um, but it's deep in Reddit. It's videos about like, maybe somebody's tapping on something with their nails, like a water bottle or someone is whispering or someone's looking directly into the camera telling you that everything is going to be okay and stroking

the camera with their hands like calming you down so it's like it's more it sounds really creepy i know i've gotten a lot of shit in my day but i struggle really hard with anxiety and the only thing that ever helped me like really genuinely like i couldn't sleep anxiety. And the only thing that ever helped me, like, really genuinely, like, I couldn't sleep at night. And the only thing that ever helped me was, like, this world online. And all these people are just, like, either dealing with anxiety or depression. And they just want to help each other relax. So is it, like, similar to whale sounds and stuff at night? Yeah.

So, yeah. That would be a form of it. Yeah. So most people, like, if i explain that to someone most people are like oh i totally know what you're talking about i've felt that before but i never knew what it was and um there are also people that do not experience it so like ela doesn't experience it i experience it you there are people like michella who have a very opposite reaction to it so it's actually an intense distaste for misophonia yeah yeah that's what i have it like if i hear even like a loud clock ticking i just i

really feel like i'm gonna jump out of my skin yeah it's like you really can't like hear someone eat cereal or some shit like that fuck no i would I would rather die. Man. Bulldingers. I'll see you like chewing in my hand. It's like... Man. That's my favorite. Yeah. I hate a bulldinger. A bulldinger. Motherfucking bulldinger.

Ding. Ding. No. Bulldinger. No. There's your album name. Bulldinger. Or that one was a bulldinger.

I might need to write a song hello shit we're gonna call let's answer it no i think it's for downstairs right what's it say this is a different number oh this is live fucking podcasting y'all community radio station it's probably matt's ass he's the only one who has his number. Y'all quit yapping. You couldn't see a name on there? Couldn't see a name. Well, hell. No name.

I bet dollars to donuts it was a fucking, what do you call them? Advertiser, whatever. Telemarketer. Telemarketer. They're still using landlines. It's bizarre

that whole world is bizarre the world of advertising peak capitalism create a need fill it rinse repeat well I was really hoping we would get into what you all were like at 13

because I just couldn't help but try to think of all of like at 13 oh yeah because i just couldn't help but try to think of all of us at 13 and how the trajectory of our lives would have been changed had oh i don't know our 13th birthday been a girls rock showcase where we like performed with our friends and our new band on keys which happened for a girl it was her birthday on the showcase that's that's the true story i i asked my sister i was like michelle and i had um breakfast with my sister this week and she was asking about how girls camp went and we were telling her and i asked her i was like i was like can you even imagine how the trajectory of your life would be different if you had like if this had been your 13th birthday and she was like yeah it would have probably prevented years of depression years of depression tons of money in therapy just like to literally just like be

in such a liberated space with other young women like other tweens oh yeah i would not have wasted so much time over stupid boys in high school. I would have had more confidence to play music. I mean, I know that I play music now, but I still have to struggle with measuring myself and comparing myself to other people, especially people in my family. And I would have gone probably a totally different route for school. Completely. I would have had better friends. I would have had different and better friends.

Yeah. I can't even. I mean, yeah, it's actually, it kind of actually sucks a little bit to think about because. It does. It was very, I think that's one of the reasons that Girls' Work Camp was so emotional for me. Because I was just like, I don't even think they realize what is happening right now. Yeah, we just saved their lives. I'm just kidding.

Well, it was honestly one of the most intimate and genuine sex eds that I've been a part of. And I've been doing sex ed for years. And the questions they asked me, it could be because I brought out an anonymous question box for the first time, which I'm going to use. That was good. That was good. And the questions were literally so sweet and so just like, I mean, the questions are always just so revealing about how dire the situation is truly in America. Like how little information we are giving people about just their bodies just literally just yeah the basic body anatomy yeah i mean you know when we did the

little skits at the beginning the the three girls who got vaginal fluid and they were going to make a little ditty about vaginal fluid they like like called me over and they're like, we don't know what that is. That's what they said to me. Wow. You mean like pee, right? I had to be like, anything that comes out of there, really? Like that's not blood. Like I had to talk, I was like, you know how when you're on your period,

sometimes it's different colors. That's because it's mixed with other fluids coming out of your body. And sometimes your panties are wet. And they're like, yeah, okay. Oh. Yeah, no. I know. That epiphany is just like.

No one has spoken to them about literal things that are happening to their body. And that's not caused by anything other than pure biology. Yeah. They haven't done anything wrong. No. Like, it was just so pure and disturbing. Yeah. It's scary. How about you, Paulina? How were you at 13?

Did you know what vaginal fluid was at 13? Yeah, I think I've always been pretty hypersexual. I really believe that about myself. I was really emo. I had a lot of wristbands hell yeah um my mom actually was I went to a catholic school my whole life and I went to an all girls catholic these are the best stories catholic school girls stories it's true best

and uh I remember like leaving the house one day and like I was in my school uniform and I had like it was like the day I decided that I was gonna just like be who I wanted to be because I actually had a really big crush on my first crush um on this girl Rachel who was like goth and she went to my school and she was like gothic like with like tutus and like I mean it was just a lot it was a lot but I remember I was like I'm gonna be exactly who I want to be and I want to be like that and it was just hilarious and I remember leaving the house and my mom was just like absolutely not like get back in the house like you're not wearing all black ever and I remember being like why it was like the weirdest thing ever um it just made me feel kind of weird so my mom was my mom's super super supportive and

has been supportive like forever but like i remember feeling like this disconnect between like who i felt like i was inside and then who i felt like i needed to be in my environment on the outside at school and stuff um but yeah i definitely knew what vaginal fluid was i've been watching porn for a very long time. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of it. Not that porn's a great representation of anything, but it's definitely there.

So your McAfee virus protection isn't out of date. No. Yes. It's also on our list oh yeah trojan virus yeah trojan virus in parentheses my mcafee is out of date i can't watch i can't watch porn because my makeup is so dead. Versus, I have a Mac. I don't get my versus.

That's not true, by the way. I've only had Macs. Oh, shit. It exists. Shit is real. I thought I just deleted all of that. Oh, my Lord. We could have had a live on-air panic attack.

You mean that has an evidence? I was about to say, probably not our first or our last, actually. That's Tom just stuttering. Any time there's a hot guest on. Wow, he sure missed out. Oh, yes he did. Tom? Hey, happy birthday yesterday, Tom.

Oh, yeah. We did have a Leo birthday boy. I sent him pics of the product line at 21C Hotel because I got to stay in a 21C Hotel and I know how he happens to love their product line at 21C Hotel because I got to stay in a 21C Hotel and I know how he happens to love their product line. So you sent him a picture of it? And I was like, happy birthday! Because I'm a bitch. Lord. Okay, so big takeaway here is that everybody should listen to slut peel there's a lot more to come especially when i'm talking about being 13

oh god yeah i mean i can talk a little bit about being 13 but it's pretty like basic uh you walk in the streets and hang out smoking cigarettes no that was when i was eight years old try five years prior um no 13 i was rolling joints from my mom no i'm just kidding um no i was like shopping at hot topic Topic living my best life being super paranoid about my body hair wow how that changed

so I spent a lot of my early adolescence being like what the fuck is my body doing to itself yeah that's 13 that feel like that is like that's yeah that's like 11 through 40 i'm pretty sure yeah yeah dude sometimes it's weird because you come across like like there are people in my family like my aunts and my cousins and stuff like who ask me all the time like if i'm wearing a dress and my like hairs are just out don't aren't you embarrassed like aren't you doesn't that make you feel weird? And I'm just like, doesn't it make you feel weird to feel weird about it? Like, isn't that a lot of stress?

You know what I mean? Also, doesn't it hurt to shave every day? Like, I mean, if you shave or not, it doesn't matter. It's a personal choice. But like the fact that like people are so worried about there being one little hair that you missed shaving or a line that you missed shaving you know what i mean because god forbid is weird to me just to let it control your whole mind and day and i didn't shave for years and then i went to the beach with my family and they treated me like i had ruined everyone's vacation literally and i'm not that hairy i literally am not that hairy i'm not either i just like don't i mean i could i could not shave for a while and from a like safe distance you can't tell

i mean i haven't shaved in a few months your girl got a male hair growth pattern i've never and the longest curly locks to match i have never shaved past my knees like above my knees i just have no hair above my knees i used to but then i was like i didn't shave for a while i was like oh there's no point there's like there's no point but see i got a male hair growth pattern too but my dad's just not very hairy like my mom is hairier than than i like my leg hair looks just like my dad's oh yeah but it's just patchy and like it's weird my sister's finally living out of the closet she doesn't shave half the time either so now we're like a little more relaxed things are a little better it also feels nice i like the

soft little hairs i play with them when I'm nervous. Or ASMR. Give me some tingles. But I swear, I would have a full beard if I let it all out. I mean, I really would. Oh, you have facial hair? Absolutely. I'm Mexican. I'm Mexican and Lebanese.

Like, I'm very af. Af. I got chin hairs for days. I mean, it's just the way it is. Full mustache. The hotel we were in, the lighting was what Michelle described as honest. What hotel?

The 21C. Bougie as fuck. We got a cheap room. Oh, yeah. It was bougie as shit. Super nice. And the lighting in there was epic and i was like oh my god i literally was like digging into my pores i like had a time she was watching she was like you're really getting in there yeah i can finally see yeah i haven't seen these pores in years i I mean, I can't see anyway.

My prescription is so strong. But I was like, oh my God, I have this huge hair on my chin. How did I miss out if I'd not seen this thing? You gotta feel it. I found a gray hair the other day in my head. I'm excited. I have gray hairs in my eyebrows. Cute.

I can't wait. Yeah, I want to have silver hair. My grandmother, my mom's mom had the most beautiful silver. Her hair was silver. It looked like someone had silver leafed all of her hairs. It was different shades of it and really pretty. My mom's

in the in-between stage right now. I just can't wait. I'm so into it. It really is a privilege to get old and. I know. I'm so into it. So cute. Great hair is so cute. It really is a privilege to like get old and experience those changes. So I'm like welcoming it. Yes. Mm-hmm. Ditto.

It's a privilege to be poor and old. We've all been looking forward to you guys. Yeah. Cute. We're doing pretty good. Yeah. Pretty, pretty good. And as I shared with the girls in 6- sixth ed our clits are only getting bigger

growing forever so if they're growing though and we have do nerve endings increase or is it just the size of let me describe it this way you know how um the reason you break up a bud really small is so there's more surface area to smoke. You get higher. You get more THC. You feel me? The more surface area, the more likely the nerve endings are to be stimulated. That's exciting. That works.

When you thought you didn't have anything to look forward to, now you do. The clit never stops growing. Hell yeah. Now you do. The clit never stops growing. Hell yeah. Lovely. And that was at the one point in sex ed where the girls were like They're picturing it just like being enormous. I know. They were like, is it gonna come out of my pants? It's big.

Cause they're all so I mean they're so confused that this is what's going on. Clit balls. Done. confused literally all we have to do is sit in the room together it's perfect hey good dad here's our new song which reminds me of that one of the girls rock bands wanted to call themselves Click Cult. Oh, yeah. We had to reign that in a little bit. It just felt wrong.

It's not wrong. It felt right, but also, like, this was my feeling. I felt like it would invalidate it to other people. Like, it doesn't invalidate it to us, but, like, it would, like, you know what I mean? Does that make sense? Am I saying it right? It doesn't invalidate it to us but like it would like you know what i mean does that make sense am i saying it right it doesn't know it doesn't at all because this was the space to do it if you were gonna do it but like the fact that like it was just scary because we had these kids these parents kids in our like under our care during the day and it was older girls they were like 17 16 and 17 yeah but uh yeah it was awesome that they had like i walked

in there and gabby was writing like a ton of words and everybody was like it was just all the words were just lots of intense words like it was so cool it was click cult and something else pussy right pussy yeah pussy rage yeah pussy rage yeah i was like that's pretty good yeah i know i fucking love it. I really want to cover one of their songs. Yeah. I know. The one about immigration?

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. What are the words to the song? They're all alone and they're scared. Why doesn't anybody care? Yeah. Everyone sees it.

Why doesn't anybody care? If these were your kids kids then what would you say Sitting around in a cage all day Melt the ice Melt the ice Melt the ice Melt the ice Oh it ruled so

And the song was called Thirsty Thirsty yeah It's pretty fucking brilliant It's brilliant and you know Thirsty, yeah. Like, it's pretty fucking brilliant. It's brilliant. And, you know, these are teenage girls in Trump country. Yeah, eastern Kentucky. Fucking. Melting my eyes.

Yeah. And then just, like, three weeks ago, in the same space, we were rounding out the end of the youth media program before girls rock camp and this like church group drop came by just like knocked on the door and came in and said yeah we were just walking around taking prayer requests from people we wondered if we could pray with you all and if you had any specific prayer requests and they were like yeah we need to pray for families being separated at the border and they all walked outside and like made this church local church group pray for families being separated at the border. So it's like clearly kids know what the fuck is going on.

Oh yeah. They're definitely aware. They hear it. Melt the fucking ice. Word. So good. Melt the ice. Don't touch me.

God, every time I hear both of those songs, I'm just like. I know. That one doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. Their song about consent was so good. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't grab me. Don't grope me.

What if, as a plot twist, Slut Peel organized a girls rock camp to mine songs from children. Now y'all are going to cover all their songs. It's going to be your whole album. We have to go right now. You have to delete this. It's going to be your whole album. We have to go right now. You have to delete this.

No, I told Michelle what the plot twist is going to be is that we intro with Whitesburg Snob and talk about it and then you all reveal at the end that Whitesburg Snob was written about Trillbillies. All three of us. Oh my God. No, but I would like to write a song about you all. No, don't please. Why not? You already did.

Whitesburg Snob. That's us. No. No. No. Pearl Party. Clip Bulge. Clip Bulge. Clip Bulge is about y'all. please why not right you already did white sprig snob that's us no no pearl party clip bulge clip bulge is about y'all clip bulge is gonna be about y'all yeah uh okay so we're gonna outro with um your newest tune yeah pearl party pearl party y'all but we're going to have to create a context here for the people because there are people listening in New York City and other places. And other places. We haven't been. Other places.

This is according to SoundCloud. I don't know, really. But it seems most of our listeners are not here because no one here gives a fuck what we have to say. Definitely our friends are like, I hear you rant all the time. I feel the same way. You're preaching to the choir. I don't care.

My friends are like, you mean how you swear you're going to be cool and then you show up at the party and you drink two beers and you're screaming at people about poverty? Is that what you mean? Is that what you're talking about? Okay.

Capitalism. Am I right, Nancy? people about poverty is that what you mean okay capitalism am i right nancy why do you hate poor people yeah you're right fucking problem leave me alone i'm just like at the keg like, don't grab me. Don't grab me. Actually, don't touch me. Pearl Party. Tell us about Pearl Party. What is a Pearl Party? Pearl Party 101. um oftentimes women buy a bunch of oysters and they get on facebook live and they shuck them and auction them off simultaneously and so people like join their facebook live

and are like bidding like they're like oh hey karen oh yeah i see you how's bill oh good oh hey tammy i see you there thanks for joining oh okay yeah today we got a grapefruit size 16 oh oh yeah it does come with the panda yes uh-huh yeah and so this is going on for hours and like sometimes thousands of people are watching these facebook lives and it's a big deal around here yeah it's a pyramid scheme and it's the pearls aren't even like they're not worth anything no they're yeah it's a joke it's a joke yeah they're made in a lab like this is just awful in in all ways pearl parties just suck it's awesome but and you think they're a southern thing or this you don't think this is a national phenomenon this is like a southern or you think it's a regional thing i feel like it's more so like a southern mama like simply southern

type of trend but it might just be because of where we are and maybe i'm not seeing the pearl parties in new york or san francisco right into trailbillies tell us about your new york pearl But it might just be because of where we are. And maybe I'm not seeing the Pearl Parties in New York or San Francisco. Imagine the San Francisco Pearl Party. Right into Trillbillies. Tell us about your New York Pearl Parties. What does the West Coast Pearl Party look like? Please, we need to expand our Pearl Party horizon. We might need to add another Roast to our song.

What I love is that one of our local Pearl Party entrepreneurs, we'll say, supposedly she made six figures and then bought a couple businesses in town and tried to flip them and they both failed because they weren't on facebook live or something i don't know pearl protege part two but um there was like a bunch of crazy drama among the pearl party elites here in lecher county don't tell us about it michella but this is one of my favorite stories okay i'm not the best at telling this story but here we go so we had the elite businesswoman six figures and then we had home girl over here can we say her name i don't know let's just make we'll just say tammy okay so tammy is like protect the guilty hustling struggling but doing

the damn thing she's doing her pearl parties so one day tammy's house is on fire and she's been attacked, stabbed in the leg. And so there's a conspiracy. This is true. There's now the conspiracy that the elite pearl lady had it out for Tammy. Damn. So Tammy... She accuses Elite Pearl. So she accused Elite Pearl girl of stabbing her and trying to burn her house down. And so...

To the point that she had to come to her own defense on Facebook. Yes. It's all played out on Facebook. Yeah. This is all on Facebook. I know. It's so good.

This is why we keep Facebook. Yeah. This is why we keep Facebook. Ella keep two violent crimes of stabbing and arson have to be judged by a jury of facebook peers instead of actually going to the police i'm just saying true crime fanatic the cops yeah first of all yeah melt the ice and fuck the cops so one of the comments that really stuck out to everyone was we all know tammy sells her pearls for pills and it just it just stuck you know it really struck me to my core damn now the the best part of the story is that tammy stabbed herself yeah turns out tammy stabbed herself and set her own house on fire to try to bring down elite pearl elite pearl that's some fucked shit yeah pearl parties are dangerous so we want to have a pearl party.

This is a prime example of why capitalism is a failed experiment, my friends. Competition will not get us to the promised land. You heard it here last. Okay. With that note, y'all have any final words? We're going to cut right to Pearl Party. Thanks for having us, Jodi to pearl party thanks for having us yeah i want to watch you live on facebook facebook
