And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because you used to you, you like had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,

but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money.

What was that in response to? What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.

So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

They're the they're the liberal rednecks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fuck. They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people. upset, but they got three big old dicks that you can suck. Yeah, well, I mean, I've seen this shirt because when I got drunk and bought my other Joe Diffy shirt that I got, see. When I did that and was Googling around, pre-death, just so everybody knows, I acquired both Joe Diffy shirts before he died. It wasn't that type of thing. The Diff is long. The Diff is long hit for me.

Well, when I was drunk and Googling around for my other Joe Diffy shirt, I found this one that I have on the internet. again, this shirt was given to me, but I found it on the internet, and it looks exactly like this. Like, you know, whoever they're selling it, they sell it still the same way. Hey, speaking of the internet, that's where you can find our tour dates whenever we do them again over at well-readcom.

Trey has evening skews with Smart Mark Aegee, and I have through the screen door, which this week, actually you will have probably already heard it if you listen to it, features a guest co-host, none other than Trey Crowder, ladies and gentlemen, filling in from Matt Coon on account of he had a tumor removed on his back. Tumors in his back. Tumors don't hit.

No, tumors do not hit. I'm going to go ahead and plug to DJ and I do a live Zoom comedy show every other Friday. It's free. We call it the Church of the Eat Fruit and Fuck. You'll get it if you ever come. And guys, it's fucking, it's so much fun. It's the most fun I've had during quarantine.

Half talk show, half comedy. So I want to say at some point, because I don't know how we're going to. Typically, we have like a guest on. We record the interview with them somewhat separately, and then we'll record our own thing and set it up or whatnot. With this episode, I know we've just started at a certain point, we'll have a guest joining us.

I just wanted to give you all the introduction. It's my little sister. It's my sister page. That's the whole introduction. She, but here what happened was. Y'all've heard plenty about her on this podcast. Yeah,

we've talked about her, and told us stories about her and whatnot. She texted us a few weeks ago and was like, she just straight up asked, can I come on the podcast? What's funny is, if y'all remember at the time, I don't remember what she said,

but at the time she said something like, can I come on the podcast because I really want to go off on yada, yada, yada, yada. It was nine paragraphs. I didn't read it either. I know. And we said, yeah, I think it was the insurrection.

and it was like right after it. We were like, yeah, that's fine, page. Sure. But then what happened was we already had stuff lined up to begin with. And then the thing fell through. It ended up taking a few more weeks. She's coming on today. But this morning, she's already texted saying,

Lord, I don't know what I'm going to talk about. So like she's completely forgotten whatever it was that prompted her to ask to come on here anyway. And so we'll just, we'll see, we'll see how it goes. Also, she was told 12 o'clock. She's late. She's always late for everything. She said she'd be here in about four or five minutes. We'll see how that turns out.

It's also funny. She's a hot mess, so we'll see what happens. But just so y'all know, when she pops up, that's Paige. And we'll see. It's funny, too, because we've asked her a bunch, like, especially when she's on the road with us, because she does that frequently. Because she's so, she's, I mean, she's funnier than I don't, I don't know how this will translate to the podcast because I do understand that she could get shy, you know, and not be yourself. but she's funnier by a lot than all three of us and we're constantly trying to get her on the show and shit

and she's just always like, no, bubby, you know, I don't like doing stuff like that. Always trying to get her on and now she asks us and now she's fucking late. Because, yeah, so I want temper expectation because y'all, that has happened a lot, but I've always been lukewarm on the notion of even having her own here just because she's my sister,

I know her and she has, I think she's got a little bit of that because she does get shy when she has to think about it or like when she's cognizant, when she's like cognizant of, of like hitting. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yes, I do. It can fuck it up. We can tell her we're not recording yet.

It has to be fully organic for her. She's like that frog in the box in the old cartoon. Yeah, Warner Brothers. You pull her out of the box and say it in front of people and say hit and she don't, she may not. She may not hit. Hello my darling. She might not hit.

Right. You know what I mean? But when you have her behind the scenes. Oh my God. You see her hitting all the time. I guess now that I think about it, I guess now that I think about it, it's me and Drew that have always tried to get her to come on the podcast, not you. Because Drew can attest, and I know that for you probably a lot of it's like,

you know it's funny, but she's your sister, so it's not hitting for you as hard. You know, when she's sharing old dark family secrets. But I can tell you right now, I know for a fact that she made me and Drew laugh, maybe not the hardest individually, but the hardest me and him have ever laughed in front of each other. Me and Drew were on the floor in a kitchen dry humping each other because we ran out of like at some point you can't laugh and you got to just start punching. So yeah.

I totally agree that when she's like, when she's just hanging out with people she knows and she's been drinking or whatever and she's just on one, I fully agree that Page is, I mean, literally one of the funniest people on planet Earth, I think. I'm just, but I also know that, like I said, she does get shy and she's like not a performer in a, you know, in a purposeful way. Right, right, right. So, like, I feel I just, I, the whole idea of talking about how she's so goddamn hilarious, which she is, but then when she comes on the show and if she is shy or whatever else, I just don't want people to be let down back. Yeah, it's not. Take our words for it, you know, but I mean, hell, she probably come out here and just slay.

It's not illegal. I mean, it is illegal for me not to tell her that we're recording, but I could lie to her. Drew, how do you feel about that? Depends on what stage you're in, brother. Confusion. Yeah, well, you're probably good to go then. Okay.

We've only fallen to the floor. There's one thing in particular she probably might bring up if you did that that I don't want to be. Right on here. Right now. That's a good point, too. There's no time. Until page does get here, how's y'all's week span?

Mine's been good. Yeah. I, you know, I'm nervous about the Chiefs. I'm a big Chiefs fan. I've been a Chiefs fan since I was eight, and I've hated Tom Brady, seemingly since the day I was born, even though I didn't know who he was. Through the Cosmos. I was in Boston in law school, living in Boston, around some of the worst Bostonians.

at the height of Tom Brady and the fall, to be fair. I also got to see Eli beat him the first time while I was in Boston. But I just developed a deep, deep hatred for the Patriots while living there, and Tom Brady specifically. So I'm having a good week, but I'm very nervous because the chiefs are my team. So it's not just like Tom Brady winning another Super Bowl and cementing his place as my personal just, oh, and the goat. It's also like him beating my team.

So I'm very nervous. Well, I definitely think that if we're just, you know, we're taking the whole like, hey, never count Tom Brady out. Because, I mean, look, I wouldn't put no money on it regardless because, yes, never count Tom Brady out. But, I mean, man, the Chiefs are the better team. Like, I think the Chiefs. Yeah, but Tampa's got a great defense. They have a great fucking defense. That's why he went there.

It's why Peyton went to the Broncos the year he won it. Like, that defense is unreal. I think that defense is a little overrated. I hope you're right. That defense is streaky. They can be really, really, really good. They also have to play Mahomes. They're not consistent.

And yes, they got to play... Listen, I hate the Chiefs and have for a long time because I... Fuck them. I unfortunately was a Raiders fan and still am because my older cousin was a felon. We'd get into all that before. But anyway, so I've all... I've long-standing hatred for the Chiefs pre-Andy. I love Andy Reid.

And I got no problem with Mahomes. My homes, objectively, my homes is the best. He rules. Pretty much the rest of our team is a bag of shit, though. But I don't like... Now, I just, you mean, like, morally? It would hit for me.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, they're full of shit bags. I was about to say, they hit, though. I hate Tom Brady as a person, but I have to admit that he's not, as far as I know, he's never beaten a kid. Right. Right. Except in, like, pick up basketball, I'm sure.

Right. Yeah. Yeah, he probably killed a kid. All I'm trying to say is it would hit for me tremendously if the Bucks and Brady beat the chiefs. Oh, me too. I know for sure that it's not going to happen. And if you don't have to worry about it, the chiefs are going to be just fine. Yeah, anytime me and you are rooting for the same thing, it very often doesn't happen.

And I'm, and we get, we get shit. I don't know about you, but I get shit for this a lot. Because like, yeah, dude, I understand that, like, politically, I shouldn't like Tom Brady. And I don't politically, for the record. Fuck all that. But, like, in separating it, I just really enjoy. I've just enjoyed watching greatness. Now, if it were up to me,

it would have just been two completely different teams at the Super Bowl. I'm tired of the Brady run or whatever. But if he's going to be there and be playing the Chiefs, fucking go Brady. Yeah, well, the Saints dropped three interceptions again. They just dropped them. That's true. I don't think Tyrone and Matthew will do that. I do think the rest of the Chief's secondary has butter fingers.

But what I want is I want us to win 50. 56 to 6, and I want him to throw two pick sixes, and then I want him to retire. So yesterday was Katie's birthday, my wife's birthday. It was fine, you know, pandemic birthday. We didn't do much. Went to the park with the boys and had, we bought her some, like, a little painting and some gardening stuff, like, so if we could start gardening, we'll see how that goes. It is.

She acts like she's into it. I mean, I'm excited about the notion. but I also, as y'all know, Coach, will you give me the ability to screen share and want to show a picture? Yes, I already seen a picture of it. But I believe, as our audience knows, I've gotten fully hooked on my cakes show. I call it my cakes watching my cakes. The Great British Bake Off, it's, you know, cultural phenom.

A lot of people love it, but I'm one of those people. And so I have, I still, I don't really hit as a baker or nothing, but I made this birthday cake for her because she's one of those Disney weird. She loves Disney. And if you're watching right now, I hope you can tell that that is a strawberry cake. Oh. Mickey Mouse head,

like, you know, the classic Mickey Mouse head shape, inside of a larger white cake birthday cake. It's like a hidden, it's one of the hidden surprise cakes. You cut a slice of it, and there's a design on each slice, and that design is a Mickey Mouse cake.

That thing, uh, wait, Oh, wait. Took me hours to do. It looks amazing. And the inside looks pretty good. Bro, I'm not, I can't decorate for shit so that outside and the top look very, very amateurish, but I'm pretty happy with how the inside part turned out.

I probably misunderstood you. Are you saying each slice has its own different design? No, no, no, no, no. Each slice is a Mickey Mouse head. But from the outside looking at it, slow-headed. From the outside looking at it just looks like a regular cake. Right. And then you get in there.

a slice and there's a Mickey Mouse way inside of it. The mouse is a nice little surprise. They're going to take us off YouTube. That's how good it was. Does you copied their copyright? Yeah. But yeah. We're getting blown up by Page right now.

Did Katie like it? Because I wanted to ask you something, especially if she's not here, she being Paige. Not Katie. She can, I'm not trying to talk shit behind her back. But you said. Hold on, wait a minute. Corey, I'm sorry. Am I the host now?

I got a thing at the top. Yes. Did she hear? So did I just let her in? Yeah, let her in. Let her in. Why you're letting her in and she can get in on this, I didn't know that Katie was super into Disney.

I just thought she loved taking the boys there. And from my perspective, that's how it started, but it became a whole thing. Wow. There's a... Is that it for you? Yeah, because she, like, leaves and shit and goes down there, you know. Paige is here.

Hello, Paige. Hello, beautiful. Hold on. How do I make this not so bright? What do you mind? Is it the sun that you're talking about? You look good. Your lighting's great.

It is right now. You're kind of glared out, but you're not right now. I'm holding my phone now, and I'm like a mile away from the desk, and I don't want to just hold my phone my whole time. Hold on. You have a tripod or something? I'm glad you didn't try working this out before. Well, that I planned to.

Oh, I can only be 15 minutes late. God forbid I fucking. get prepared. There you go. Oh, Taterbugs outside the door crying. Keep moving like that. That's good.

Yeah, it's like, people really like it when you shake it up and it like overstimulates them visually and they puke. Yeah, keep turning it side to side. There you go. Yeah, real tightening it. That's a good move.

I like your hair. Thanks. You said you chopped it all off. Well, I mean, I did. It was like, down to my butt, but okay, and I was being dramatic this morning when I was saying how I hated it so much and stuff, but I mean, I did fix it. I just, I was being dramatic. I don't hate it, but it seemed like a really good idea at the time and I loved it for like a week and then now I'm

like, I want my hair back, but it's fine. Well, I love the color and I can't imagine you being dramatic, especially in the morning. Paige, we miss you. Yeah, so bad. Oh, I know. Well, listen, you know how I get. My heart's all racing and stuff. It's going to take me a minute to get calmed down.

But, oh, I'm so glad to see y'all, even though it's just on here, I'm going to have to let Thailand. Is that your dog? Yes. Yeah, put the dog on. So, Paige, we already said earlier how, you know, you said this morning you didn't know what you were going to talk about. well, let me tell you what you wanted to talk about, because I don't know if you recall, you asked me on the show because you wanted to talk about a thing. And I have right here the text you sent on the subject. If you'd like me to refresh your memory.

Can you just read it verbatim? That's what I'm going to do. As page. With the punctuation or lack thereof in this dissertation of a text message. Okay. Anyway, she starts out. She says, I think I won't be on the podcast. I think I know why I want to talk about LOL.

Paragraph break. The only paragraph break. Everybody doesn't want to take a big old breath, homie. Don't faint. I mean, I know y'all talk about the complexities of having relationships and loving people that are Trumpers all the time, but I'm struggling right now because I'm at the fuck all the crazy lunatics point. But then you talk to one-on-one and realize they're dumb and sad and pitiful, and it makes you wonder if somebody actually gave shit about them if they'd be so hateful,

you know, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. This old nasty grease monkey showed up to Toby's Pond. And he had to be so conflicted because he pissed me. off by trying to half-ass flirt with me, parentheses, I think, and then tried to talk shit about my parentheses, according to him, gay neighbors, and people just normally brush him off, I'm sure, but I was like, oh, yeah, I didn't know that. Well, good, that makes me happy to know, because I love gay people. And he was clearly confused because the accent I have, and he was like, uh, shocked emoji.

Oh, I mean, nothing wrong with gay people. They just ain't my cup of tea. I said, buddy, I'd say you ain't their cup of tea neither. You sure ain't got worried about them hidden on you because I highly doubt you're their type. and he said, well, yeah, that's true. I'd say, I ain't, I'm too redneck for him. Dot, dot, dot. I was, of course, rolling my eyes on the inside the whole time,

but by the end of this, all, by the end of all this, I knew this man's life story. Dot, dot, dot. I literally know that he made $350 last Saturday, and his check was $1,100 last week, which he was ecstatic about, but no one has no home life because his wife died last year and his mama died. Now he just has his two dogs that are his babies and all this pitiful shit.

And when he was leaving, but when he was leaving, he said it was good talking to you, dot, dot, dot, dot. So like I wanted to make the shit out of him like half the time, but then you just couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Dot, dot, dot, dot. But as much as I just want to cuss them out, I really feel like having conversations where you actually acknowledge the shitty stuff they say

and like confused, oh, you have a hateful heart type of way kind of helps sometimes, dot, dot, dot. Like I've told Trey, I normally go. This is one text. Yeah. Like I told Trey. And it's nice too, because I stopped reading like three sentences ago the first time.

Like I've told Trey, I normally go with the, oh, I'm just too tenderhearted, I guess, because I just think about how they must feel, but that's just me. And they just can't even let a heathen such as I be the better person and usually try to fix the shitty thing they said. One more paragraph break. Also, fuck the Titans right now, God damn it. That's why I didn't respond to that shit

because I was like actually watching the Titans, I believe. That's exactly what happened to me. It was it was towards the end of the Titans Ravens game where they were getting their asses whipped. And I saw that book she sent. And I looked at it and I was like, She ought to know Barron's send me some shit like that during this point in time because I was just disgusted at the football game.

So, yeah, I didn't. I reminded them to circle back and that you had asked to be on the show. I didn't answer you because I was like, I don't know what she's telling me. I thought she's talking about you know, what's this about? And then like three days later, I was like, oh, shit, we need to circle back. I need to get to the bottom of this. Okay. So what he was talking about?

Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, I had to have my car towed. And that's the guy that showed up. But, like, I've been just fed up anyway. But I'm so, well, okay, and two, that was after the dollar store video. And I'm so conflicted because it's like, why ain't going to lie? Like, I made Jonathan look at the video before I said or before I told Tray that it was okay that he posted and made him look and make sure that that that wasn't any of his.

his family on there. And I'm like, so it's like, I know that somebody's me, Ma Ma'all walking in there. And like, so I hate to be like that. But like, I just get so tired of the dumb shit. No, okay. On that note in particular, I was talking to Meemaw yesterday. If y'all listen to the podcast, you probably remember that dollar store

video she's talking about, we've talked about it on here. I posted a video she made of her and our mama talking shit at a dollar store parking lot because nobody was wearing mask or anything. I posted that with her permission, right? And then I kind of started getting a little conflicted too

because you were telling me about people saying like, you know, fucking people are going to get in trouble at work for this shit and yada, yada. We were snitching or whatever, basically.

But I was talking to me yesterday and I have had this general thought of my mind anyway. But like when it comes to that issue in particular, like, fuck those people. Dude, fuck them. I'm here to say about Ma'amah's sister, our great aunt, died, and then her husband, Ma'amah's brother-in-law, died shortly after that.

Ma'amah couldn't go to the funeral, couldn't do none of that stuff because of COVID. Me'am, like, been out of the house in almost a year. And I was just, and I was thinking there, so when I was talking to her, it's like, man, these fucking people are like, literally risking her life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, like, political bullshit. So, like, fuck them. When it comes to the COVID stuff in particular, I don't give a fuck anymore.

Well, also, they were some. Fuck them. I agree. And also, they're literally killing people. They were supposed to have their mask on at work. Like, that's a policy.

Like, if they, all they're getting in trouble for is they didn't follow the policy that was laid out for them at the Dollar General anyways, and you just made them aware of that. Like, all you did was asked to speak to a manager, except for just did it to the whole internet instead of, you know.

So I think it's not. For the records, DJ has made it pretty clear to me. He worked there during the pandemic. He doesn't anymore. but not that particular one, but a different one, they will not get fired. Dollar General has been treating their employees so shit. They can't keep people.

They can't keep people, especially now that the federal unemployment kicked in. So they're not going to fire those people. So that's me defending you. Like, I'm not for trying to get people fired for any reason. But if you want to talk shit on the internet, like, I'm sorry, that's on them. Like, you weren't trying to get them fired. You were trying to talk shit on the internet. That's on them.

Don't talk, no shit. Won't be no shit, basically is what it boils down to them. Okay. But the other side. I thought shit on the internet. Right. Like, I didn't know Trey was going to put it on there. But I got your permission first.

And I was about to say, also that's what he'd do. But. Well, yeah, but I'd be renting to him like every other day about shit. Yeah. So that's true. But do you know, well, okay, well, two things. First of all, do you know after that video,

the dollar store in Salina apparently took the sign off the door. Can't break a rule if there ain't one. That's so raving. And you know what the best part of it? Is that they had so few employees because everybody had COVID that people from the county that I was, that I made that video in,

was having to go there to work. And they still took the sign off. what was the line? Well, I wanted to ask, but the flip side of that, and I'm not trying to make anybody feel bad. You brought this up, though, with the mechanic dude, the flip side of that is some of these people are clearly done. Like, there's clearly assholes who don't care about other people,

and then there's clearly dumb asses who grow up around assholes who don't care about other people, and they, like, do believe it's a hoax or whatever. You know what I mean? And they just don't know any better. And it's like, that's what I'm torn about. It's like maybe if somebody gave a shit about them,

would they care about other people? Okay. Or is it the only people that are accepting of them and are nice to them, people that are like... See, this is what I was trying to say earlier. We can have that larger conversation, but I mean, like yesterday, after that conversation with me, Ma'am, what I mean specifically was like,

we all know what we're talking about. We've all known these people, and I've always been that way, too. It's like they literally, I know it's a shitty thing to say, but they literally don't. know any better. Like when it comes to like Muslims or shit like that. But I'm saying I'm at a point now with like with COVID where I'm like,

I don't know how dumb you'd have to be. Do you not know anybody? Look, man. Everybody knows people that have died now. You've got like I, you, how do you not know anybody with this particular subject matter? You don't want to. You don't want to. Look, I, look, man, there's a lot of people, there's a lot of people like my granny's

generation. My granny was born in 1920. And I tried to, this will be real quick, and then I won't page to launch into her shit and I'll shut up. But I do want to say this about those particular type of people. I was trying to explain to some people the other day about, like, how could people have voted for Trump? And I was like, in 2016, I'll tell you how. It's because everybody don't live on Twitter like we do. And genuinely, there was like at the very beginning when Trump, the shit, he said like the Mexicans and the rapists, they literally didn't see that shit.

Like the bad stuff they didn't see. All they saw was Hillary Clinton's for socialism or whatever the fuck. Now, if in 2020 they voted for him again, they've had four years of just 965 different goddamn things. At that point, it was willful ignorance. And like back in my granny's day, there wasn't a news feed every day. If you didn't get to paper, you just didn't know some shit. So I get it.

But yes, in this day and time, there is no goddamn excuse because you can be the dumbest motherfucker on earth, but you have access to the news and especially during this coronavirus shit. So no, I'm with you. At this point with COVID, they all know someone who has died. Like COVID has gotten to all these communities now. Everybody knows somebody who has died from it. I don't probably have relatives that have died for. And I don't understand how you could go on just not giving a fuck after your mamma or your great Aunt Trudy or whoever has.

has literally died. But what about this? I'm not playing devil's advocate. I'm genuinely asking you guys, can you help me wrap my head around this? Because this is crazy. Have you seen posts of people being like they talk about someone

they know and cared about dying? And they still don't care. And they're still very much like, but we got to have our freedom. Like I have sympathy for that and not even like, I don't know what to do with that. Like that feels like

a minimum. mental illness or something. Yeah. I told you, my buddies. Like, fuck them. Like, fuck those people. You know what I mean? Like, child molesters have a mental illness, but fuck those people, you know?

Right. And we still, and we can't live in a society with them. Right. But like, I told you, my buddy who, he worked at a pay, he don't work there no more. But they, he had, he had, yeah, right. Actually, I can say it now. My buddy Robbie, he don't work there anymore. So fuck him.

He had a boss who goddamn died of coronavirus. and then his other boss, they, like, Rob was like, so we should work from home next week, right? And they're like, no, Mike wouldn't want it that way. And it's like, well, Mike's dead from the coronavirus. So Mike don't really get to want shit no more. You see what I mean?

That's like funny and sad and so weird. It's like if that was a scene in a movie, it would be such a greatly written scene. But because it's real life, it's like, oh my God. It's funny until you remember that like these people, that guy's in charge. You know what I mean? That wasn't just, no offense, that wasn't just an employee at the Dollar General.

This guy is like the fucking boss of a pretty big corporation in Chattanooga. Like those are the type of people who are in charge of shit. And the dead guy's got family, man. Yeah. They're probably dumb too, but like still. I mean, yeah. When it comes to the COVID stuff, fuck them. But, I mean, like, that ain't all.

Well, I mean, I'm saying that ain't all I'm doing. with here. I mean, Corey's still in Georgia. Right. So, no, but like, it ain't let up. Like, since the election, like, I thought it would kind of die down. No, no. Like, it's worse, if anything. And, like, I'm so jealous of the lack of anxiety that people have.

Because, like, which I know y'all are always posting political shit and stuff. but like they wake up every morning to post like some and it's never like accurate or true. Yeah, right. See, at least ours is that. It ain't accurate or true. And it's just like literally don't have it in me anymore. Like I don't even want to say like I want to say something and be like literally everything you just posted is bullshit. But like it's like they live for that.

Like, they love just get, they literally wake up and start posting shit on Facebook. Like, as soon as they get up and I'm just like, how? Like, I- Again, you already alluded to this page, but I don't know that the three of us are the ones to go off on this particular aspect. At least, but at least we create, at least we create the thing, though. You know what I mean? Like, they just post a fucking minion meme that has a swastika on it and then call it a goddamn day. and also like the thing about those people though to to what you're saying about it's like they live for it

they're like bulletproof because like they'll post some shit that ain't right and then if you go on there and you correctly call them on their bullshit they'll just be like look how upset i got this snowflake you know what i mean like even though you're right well also even if i'm no better than these folks or not i think what you're getting at too is you have to see them later that day you're talking about how you're just tired of being in that situation. That's why I was going to say earlier about when we was talking about like the dollar store and the, you know, y'all, which, well, I mean, I somewhat agree with the fuck them. When it comes to COVID stuff, I do. But y'all don't have to live among them.

Like, like, okay. Yeah, I was about to say, hold your goddamn tongue, girl. I mean, granted, I stay in my attic. Well, but like, so that day after I had my. car to Ford, I ain't even going to laugh. As soon as I got the text that had the dude's name in it that was working on my car, I immediately got on Facebook to see if he was like, you know, going to blow my car up on purpose or whatever.

Do you have a Bernie sticker on your car? Huh? Do you have a Bernie sticker on your car or something? I mean, is I've been wanting to put a sticker on my car, but. But it's toes. so you can't. Oh no, my car sticks now.

Okay, right, I'm good for you. Like, the way people are, like, I really think somebody who can put, like,

what is it, sugar and you gas? Sugar and your gas tank. Yeah, that's also what they call queers. I mean, like,

they absolutely would do that. But, like, and everywhere I go that, like, is like a service that,

like, I have to have or whatever, I'm just like, I wonder if they know who I am. Right. my brother is.

I wonder if they're going to spit in that or whatever. Right. Because no rednecks don't give a fuck, especially if you call them out like the dollar store thing on the internet. Like, I've just been waiting for like my tires to get slashed or something. Yeah. I hate that.

See, that's what I'm saying. Like that, that was the part of it that made me feel bad about when I, again, even though I got your permission to do it, and I do have that mentality of, uh,

fuck them. But I hate that like it puts any kind of target on your back. or whatever. Right. People are fucking, I mean, yeah, they are crazy.

I was thinking, I remember, like, Paige, our dad passed away in 2013, three years before Donald Trump, but I remember the past few, and he lived in Salina all that whole time,

and I remember him talking to me numerous times, uh, in the years prior to him passing away about how like, saying basically to the effect of like, I don't know how much longer I can live in this goddamn place with these. people like they were all right i'm saying like seven years ago and pre-trump and stuff right it was already getting to to my dad he was just like he was like you just can't tell them nothing they don't they won't listen to none of it they just like it like it was already starting to piss him off

even then think about trump and just how like how much that's all elevated in the intervening years and yeah cue don't hit to think about yeah q Corey's new lady mark i mean DJ was telling me, he was talking about people running up and down the street screaming racial slurs at his Mexican neighbors. And Dre is a brown woman. Yeah. So like, there's like, man, if I put a bumper sticker on my car, there's like that fear. But then like, there's like her fear of just like, yeah, I don't know these people and I don't know what's in their heart. And look at me, you know. No, dude, that's the thing I was actually talking about the other day with a, um, with a black friend of mine. And we were discussing, he was asking me,

about, you know, all this, all this shit, you know, my recent, uh, viral shit or whatever. And I was telling him about like, you know, he's like, do you ever worry about some of these people? And, and I was telling him, I was talking to him about like, yeah, I do, you know, like I've gotten these death threats. And then like, as, as I'm talking to him, I'm like, realize and I said, but, you know, I, I look the same as everybody when I go to the restaurant or whatever. So as long as I don't actually know it's me, I was like, but you on the other hand. And he's like, yeah, exactly. I kind of, he's like, I can't just put on a trucker hat and just blend in. So like, yeah, dude, that's, that's fucked up. And if I was DJ and Dre, I would,

that's terrifying. So there is a, which I don't know since the election's over, but I assume it's still there. There's a Trump store in Cookville. I hate calling Cookville out because I love Cookville. And again, I've got to live here. Well, for the record, I love where I'm from. I still bought a house here. Just the page, some people are fucking dickheads. Well, so there's a Trump store. And I don't, I don't know if they're still doing it. I assume they are. But before the election and stuff, like, these just assholes are lined up along the

tray, you know where Jefferson is. Yeah. They used to line up down through there and on Jackson. And like, if you had anything on your vehicle or like if you, like, looked at them, like, you know, like if they knew that you wasn't for Trump, like they were like screaming like, I don't know what,

but I know that they really hated gay people. I don't know what they was saying, but it was a lot of bad stuff to gay people. Or like, what? I was saying that's terrible, but the symbolism of it being on Andrew Jefferson or Jefferson Davis,

I assume it's Andrew Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson Street is like almost too much for me. That's like fucking, literature shit. You're talking about the dude who admitted the trail of tears and like probably the most openly racist president in the history of America. It's so weird too, man. Like somebody made the point the other day of like, you know, there was this like, it was like on parlor takes. Somehow on parr was like, you know, to answer me how this is possible. Joe Biden supposedly got X amount of votes. Yet I hadn't seen any Joe Biden hats or Joe Biden t-shirts or blah, blah,

and somebody was like, yeah, dude, that's because we don't, we wear regular clothes. Like, we don't do that shit. But, like, aside from all that, because, I mean, dude, I'll say, I've got an Obama shirt and I've got an Obama hat. It ain't like, I haven't done that shit. But, like, it's so crazy to think about the fact that there's a Trump store. Yeah. And the fact that, like, dog, when John McCain ran a literal fucking war hero, a literal war hero,

I mean, yeah, they wanted him to win, but there was none. of this shit. You know what I'm saying? I remember same town, because that's where Page lives, that's where I went to college. And I've told the story before, but it's true,

election night, 2008, I drove around Cookville, around the square and around campus of Tennessee Tech and stuff, blasted my president is black by cheesy with my windows down. You know, fuck y'all.

And nobody, you know, nobody said or did anything. It's just, I'm, it's wild to, difference in fucking atmosphere because it's not like I don't know what these places are like. I'm from there too. And I always was super emboldened to just wear my shit on my sleeve.

Part of that was because I was always so very confident of how much smarter I was. Yeah, for sure. People. Yeah. You know, like I always just had the utmost, like, resolute assurity that I knew what I was talking about and they didn't. So, like, I was never embarrassed about it at all. but like it's not hearing shit like that and everything like it's not it ain't the same it ain't the same dynamic and shit anymore man like it's no well

I taste you um shit I forgot what I was about to say well I got something to say my president is black my Lambo's blue and I'll be goddamned if I don't take blue chew let's talk about something we could all use more of right now ladies and gentlemen it is what's up no good nothing I just my sister's here but I don't care I love I love I love it Too bad.

Your brain's important too. I think we all thought when the pandemic started, it would just be a few months and it would be over, right? But that's not how it's played out. And at this point, it's getting to all of us, I think. It's certainly getting to me. And it's challenging times right now. I feel overwhelmed by everything that I have to do

and keeping in touch with people and missing the real world and all that. And I'm glad that I have my therapist to talk through the ups and downs of how I'm feeling during this chaotic period. I recommend talk space for therapy because you can sign up online and start therapy the same day as you sign up. Depending on the plan you choose, you can text video or send voice messages to your licensed therapist. So it's incredibly convenient to have virtual sessions from the comfort.

of your home, Drew, what do you think about it? Oh, I wholeheartedly agree and recommend Talkspace for therapy. When you think about being in the comfort of your home, I mean, right there, folks with anxiety, folks with trouble getting out, you know, you've already overcome that step. So you can sign up online and start therapy the same day you sign up. It depends on the plan you choose, but you can text, video, send voice messages to a licensed therapist. So it's incredibly convenient. You have virtual sessions from the comfort of your home, like I said. And even beyond the pandemic, like, if you just don't want to have to go through all the rigmar of it, stay home and do therapy.

It's a good, it's a really good service. Yeah, it's affordable too. Talkspace is a fraction of the cost of in-person therapy. Instead of waiting for an appointment, you can send unlimited messages to your therapist 24-7. They'll engage with you daily five days a week. Talkspace has thousands of licensed therapists with years of experience and over 40 specialties, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, anger management, relationship issues, food and eating, and some of the ones that we don't have. Bingo.

Oh, I thought I want to press. Talkspace is secure and private, unlike this podcast, using the latest end-to-end bank grade encryption technology to store client information and complying with the latest HIPAA regulations. Yeah, so what you needed to do.

This gave me practical guidance to change my life for the better. I'm so glad I found Talkspace and got the support I needed, and you can do it too.

I'm going to do. do mine from the woods. That'll hit.

We're back. Page. Do you remember what you were going to say? Yeah. Okay. Which already text you about it. Are you whispering during the fucking podcast? Are you whisper texting?

No, I text him about it when it happened. I was so mad. But like, okay, so Jonathan, he's like... Jonathan is your... Fiance. Okay, because our listeners don't know. Yeah, and he's like super chill. It doesn't like, I mean, it's weird because, well, I mean, y'all know I'm like the most constantly tore up chill person ever.

So, like, I don't like, I don't like drama and I like everything to just stay good and chill because I get torn like I'm a constant nervous wreck. But I prefer chill. That's the thing me and you have in common for sure. Yes. And if somebody makes me mad, I keep asking Trey, like, what my problem is. And he says it's just in our blood that I go zero to 100. But so we had to get some like last minute stocking stuffers for his daughter. And yes, I can hear Trey.

But so we went in a store and I had on a mask and didn't want to be in a store anyway. It was already paranoid because nobody around here wears masks. And this man, which I didn't see any of it happening, and I'm mad that Jonathan didn't tell me that it was happening. But he knew I would act a fool and he ain't about that. Like, he doesn't, if he knows something's about to happen that he knows I'm going to go off about, he'll just like completely avoid it. smart man now this this man

this man need it see I'm already getting pissed off thinking about it like can y'all tell my my heart rate's going up because my voice is shaking your nostrils start flaring yeah you've got all the tell-tale signs of a woman enraged listen with this little punk-ass bitch did see

I need this to talk before I get mad but I was in the back of the store and Jonathan was at like the other side so he wasn't standing right beside me and I could like feel this guy beside me and I didn't notice that he had his phone up but like I didn't have no reason to think he would be like filming me or whatever and like I could tell like he kept getting real like closer to me but like I just wanted to hurry up and get in and get out so I wasn't really paying attention but like I was just getting this weird vibe from him and I mean as a female and a story

or like you're constantly watching for weirdos if I'm being on it. And I was just like, I remember in my head thinking, okay, I need to keep an eye on this guy because I'm getting kind of weird vibes. But again, I just wanted to hurry up and get out of there. So I didn't really pay attention. And of course,

he didn't have on a mask. So I like, wasn't trying to stick around to be near him or anything. And then like he, Jonathan walked up and walked and stood right between us. And I just thought he was walking over. And then he waited until that guy, And I don't know why I didn't think about it.

Okay, I'll be honest. It was Clare's. So it was kind of weird that it was a grown-ass man. Right. Because that's the ear-piercing place, right? Yeah, and like little girls, like jewelry and just like all girly stuff. Unicorn shit, yeah. Yeah.

Or, I mean, I shouldn't say girly stuff because, I mean, it could be for boys to. But there just wasn't any reason a grown-ass man should have been in there without any kids with him or anything like that. And I didn't even, like, I just wasn't really paying attention. But then soon as he walked out, Jonathan was like, I didn't say anything at the time because I knew you were dacked a fool. But that guy was totally trying to get you to look at and react to his shirt. And I was like, what did it say? And he had on a shirt that said something about sheeple. You know how they.

In a Claire's. That's why I'm like, did he just like, where did he come from? Like, he had to have just, like, spotted me walking in with a mask. And I'm not going to lie, I had on my RBG mask that day, but, like, he was way too stupid to even know who it was. So, like, he didn't know. So I'm like, where'd he come from? But, like, he apparently had on a shirt, like, something about people that wear masks or sheeple or something like that. And I guess he was, like, recording me trying to get a reaction.

but it is funny now that I had that mask on. So if he was filming me that all he saw was like me turning to him and like him saying my mask and me turning away. But I was in the back of the store by myself, like in the very back corner of that store by myself when this man came and done that. So like you're talking about sheeple, but you pick the one single female in the store by herself

to come corner in a fucking... Well, he's a patriot. page you have to understand he's a patriot so he did his duty by following you into a clairs like what a little bitch like you're gonna call people people and you're gonna like corner like the smallest female in the store in the back and like that's the kind of shit that's the kind of shit that I'm talking about that's been just driving me crazy around here and that happened like right after the dollar store video so I was just like are they watching me So do you run into that?

Like you, people recognize you at the Clairs, do you think, because of that video and because of who you? I'm asking for real. I'm not being a dick. Well, I don't normally go anywhere. Right. I'm being honest. But I need, it was Christmas and I needed stocking stuffers. You could hear her voice in that video, but you couldn't see her face or nothing.

So I highly doubt she gets, like, recognized, but she's wearing a pretty strong voice. A Ruth Bader Ginsburg mask. an RBG mask in there. I think that's all that it took for this dude. If that is really what was happening, I'm not saying it wasn't, if he was like trying to, he wanted to get himself on camera owning a lib or whatever,

I assume. And, you know, he found one and it was you. And he could tell because of the mask you were wearing and what was on it. That's what I think happened. And ran off and ran out of the store as soon as Jonathan walks up. Jonathan,

who was wearing a mask, but his six sticks. So as soon as Jonathan walks up, the little sheep runs away. And I'm just like, like, how are you even going to wear a shirt, like calling people sheep when you're such a little bitch? Like, you pick me smallest female. And then as soon as my fiancee walks up, you're gone. Like, he didn't want none then. And I'm like, but does I get down to tell you is he should have been worried about me?

and I was so mad at Jonathan for not telling me at the time. It's so funny, too, to think about the people that made, you know, the people who made that shirt were just like, look at these fucking idiots buying this goddamn sheeple shirt. Like, if you wear a shirt that says people are sheep, but you didn't make it yourself, right? Here's your sign, buddy.

I was talking to Ross the other day, and he was talking about how he couldn't bring himself to do it. But he's like, you're telling me a bunch of actual funny, a.k.a. not conservative comedians couldn't make the funniest Trump style memes for T-shirts and we couldn't make millions of dollars right now. For Q or whatever.

No, for sure. Or just make a shirt that just says Q on it and sell it. That ain't illegal. You know what I mean? Fuck it. Like make money off these dumb motherfuckers. That's what you're saying. Yeah. Let's make some sheeple shirts. Well, I just can't get over like how many people around here like really, I mean, I know it's everywhere, like really believe that stuff.

But every day I wake up to somebody on some Q shit on their Facebook that are like, wake up people, when are you going to wake up? Look what is happening right here, right here next to us. And like, I'm just like, how can these people be telling people to wake up? like they've done lost their damn minds. Like, I don't know. Like, I just, like, I literally am just so sick of people right now. Like, I just literally hate people.

Like, I have a handful of, well, see, see, that's where I'm torn. It's like, some of these people are people that you know have a good heart and that it's not a brain. Yeah, I guess. Because if I needed something tomorrow, like I could call them, and they wouldn't ask any questions, and they'd be right there. But, like, I'd have to be like, don't bring up politics when you get here. Right. That's the type thing.

Like, I don't know you don't ever go anywhere or see anybody or do anything, which I mean, you shouldn't. But pretend the pandemic ended tomorrow is you still live in your hometown where you grew up. How many, do you still have, is there a fair number of people that, like, you grew up with that you, who have, become a version of this or what we're talking about, that you still fuck with, or have you cut all them out or they've cut you out or whatever?

Because, like, I've noticed for a while, for me, and of course, I don't live there anymore, but when I would go back, there's two or three, most of the ones that have actually, like, have not kind of just gone their own way by this point. You know what I mean? Like drifted apart are the ones who are, you know,

saying. And the guys we grew up with that have done that, have kind of branched off in their own directions what's happened with me. So what do you got? This pandemic has like, I think maybe pre-pandemic, even though like, you know, I was definitely a vocal liberal person and we were on the tour and like, you know, they knew where I stood. There was definitely still people who like, if I seen them at the party, they'd be like,

oh, you know, hell, we don't agree on everything. But I love you, buddy. And I'm glad you out there making your money. Right. This pandemic has really, has really cut a lot of people out of my life and me out of theirs. And there hasn't been like a, there hasn't been like a formal, hey, I'm deleting you out of my phone. Fuck you. But like, you can just tell.

I've definitely heard some things because I've got some buddies who are like, you know, they still kind of talk to every. That's, that's really what it is. I've got some buddies who ain't like that, but they still will talk to them a little bit. Yeah. And so Word has gotten back, you know, that it's like, yeah, y'all ain't, y'all definitely ain't cool now. And it's always just hilarious to me because it's like, what did you think I thought, you know? But now, like, yeah, the pandemic really just let us all see who we were. And to me at first I was like super sad, but now I'm like, you know, this was kind of the kind of cleansing that I needed.

Like I needed to know who these motherfuckers were. It's like that Roy Wood joke when he talked about, I don't want the rebel flag to go because that's how I know what gas station not to go. too. Like this, I've, this pandemic's been kind of saying, like, if I see you, if I see you put up a picture on the internet and you're in like a crowded bar and you ain't got a mask on, I'm like, cool, I don't have to hang out with that person because they're a fucking dip shit. So, you know, it's, but yeah, I've lost a lot of friends or excuse me, I've lost, I found out a lot of people who weren't my friends. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I think. I just don't feel like I have that many people that ain't. Well, most of

My people aren't, like, hardcore about stuff. Like, they just don't really care. But when it comes down to it, they're voting for Trump. And it's like, and I know people are like, it's to the point now. And I say that. I'm like, if you vote for Trump, like you're saying you support that. Like, and that's what I'm struggling with. Because, like, there's this one person that I know is such a good person.

And like, I love them so much. And they are like, they really care about people. But I know that they're like a Trumper. And I can't wrap my head rent. Like, I can't understand it because when it comes down to it, like, they would never like hate on anyone. They're just not a hateful person at all. But I know that that's what I struggle with is like.

Are you sure? Are you sure they're not just good to you? No. know one of the best people I know. Like actually, I should just shut up because I don't even want them to know that I realize this stuff. That's how much I love. See, I need to hush. Because I don't love a whole lot of people so I don't know who I'm talking about. But people are like, no, it's to the point now.

Like, if you're for Trump, fuck you. Like, I'm done with you or whatever. And that's how I feel about a lot of people if I think that it's hatefulness. but then there's like, I don't know. Like, I just don't know about this whole cut everybody off thing. But then again, I feel like, how can you support any of that, like, and be the person that I know that you are? Like, I don't know. I just think, I mean, look, to me, there is a difference between hatefulness and willful ignorance, but they're both unacceptable to me. And also, like, so many of these people that you were talking about were apolitical.

Like, I know those people, too, where they're just like, they're just like, they, they, constantly they'll say things like, well, you know, dude, it don't matter. Hell, it don't matter who's in office. They're all the same. And I'll just be like, all right, we'll vote for Joe Biden then. And they're like, no, I can't. And I'm like, well, then you don't believe that. You don't fucking believe that.

So shut up. Yeah. So fuck them, is what I say. But, like, I have known, and I don't know. I think about the people that I think of that are like that. I've known plenty of them, too. And I feel like that most of them, they, they didn't. vote. You know, used to. I'm not sitting here thinking like, do they, but the type of people,

them type old boys, it's like we've talked about before, like growing up in Salina, I felt like that was actually most people were like apolitical. Everyone here was. They're all full of shit. And I think most of those people just didn't, or a whole, a big chunk of those people just didn't vote either way. And I wonder the people that are still left in that category of like, oh, they're all the same. By the way, that's how Trump did it. voting, you know? I don't know. I'm curious, like, how that has, that mentality has survived or not with... That is how he did it, though, because he wasn't a politician. They hated all politicians, and then he was just a businessman. So, I mean, that was the model, you know what I mean,

was to get those people who thought they were all full of shit. He just had to put an R by his name. Right. Go ahead, Paige. I don't know what I was... Oh, I'll just said. I'd actually... now that I think about it, I don't know that this person voted, but I feel like they probably did. Because I feel like they might be, the abortion thing around here is still really just like one of the main things. And that bothers me too because I'm like, I posted like 50 screenshots of different situations of like abortion and like medically necessary abortions. And I mean, I support it no matter what.

It's just really, really weird to me how people think that it's any of their business. Like, what goes on at the doctors? Like, it's so weird because I'm like, when is it ever appropriate for you to demand that someone tells you what happened at their doctor's appointment? Like, that is so weird to me that people feel like they have the right to know what's going on with you and your body. So, like, of course, I don't. support all, you know, your body, your choice.

But that's still, like, I just don't understand. Like, if you actually, I don't know, I just, I don't understand that either, but that's still the biggest thing around here. I feel like the reason I've had somebody, another woman that was like a really good woman. Like, I loved her. And I was like, you vote Republican? I'm like, right.

I was about to bring that up, too. and say about abortion. It's just so complicated what makes all these different people tick in their different ways. Because I also have known people who like, and I don't know how to say this the best way, but like I know that they were raised that way 100%. Raised hardcore church,

raised by all the family Republicans, whatever. They were very much raised that way. Now they're grown-ass adults. And I'm like, in my head, I'm like, I know for a fact that you don't really even feel that way about most of this stuff. Like, I know you don't, because I know you well enough to know that you don't.

You don't like, you don't fucking want Muslim people to be banned. You don't have a problem with gay people. You're not. I know for a fact that you're not, but I believe you still are voting Republican Trump included in every single election. And those people are wild to me too. They exist. It's like, they just do it because, like, they come from a long life.

That's just what you do. Like, if you're from that. family you're from that place or whatever. That's just what you do. So they keep doing it even though. If you get to know, it's like, but you, you ain't like that though. Right. It's weird. Like if I didn't actually believe all the things I believe, I would just be a very normal person in my community. You know what I'm saying? Like I, like, but yeah, so many people around here, they just don't ever think about it. But they're, it's the, we talk about it all the time, man. When the GOP and the fucking Southern Babbs. this convention made their low. Hey, hey, hey, because I know we've done almost that time. I'm sorry. This is an important call. I have to tell you all to wrap up without me.

Okay. Love y'all. I know. I'll talk to you later, Paige. When. Extreme, uh, extreme, uh, extreme type of glass voice. Whoa. Whoa.

Oh, I got an important. Oh, it's such an important phone call. Whoa. Hey. This podcast isn't important. My sister's only on it. Whoa. Oh.

One thing, too, I wanted to give, like, you know, some attention to Ellers Danloh syndrome. Sure. Go ahead. Well, I mean, also, all rare stuff. But yesterday was the International Day of the Zebra, and I didn't do anything, and I feel bad. Wait. Also, that's why I work on Ellers Danlo's shirt. I'm going to need a little bit more.

What do you mean, the International Day of the Zabra? And how does that pertain? And like, are you talking about like the Chinese New Year? What do you mean? Is it? No, I'm saying you said something about I want to, hold on page, let me back up. You said, you did this. Yeah, you said, I want to bring attention to the disease.

And then you said, yesterday was International Zebra Day. And then you said, and I feel bad because I didn't do nothing. And he said, and he said. So what? I always try to post on social. media just like raise awareness and stuff. I know, Paige. What the fuck does that have to do with the goddamn zebra?

If y'all hush, I was about to say that. Oh, yeah. Okay. Are, okay, so that's the Ellers Damlos, like, mascot. But, I mean, it's really for, like, all rare disorders and illnesses. Okay. Because it's so, like, in medical school, they say, if you hear

hoofbeats think horse not zebra think horse not zebra yeah to go with the most like common thing yeah don't start with the most rare thing right but that fucks over the one in 1000 the zebra there's a lot of fucking people in America it will hurt for sure

so sometimes like you do need to think zebra so that's like how it got to be the zebra or whatever But too, like, the pandemic has been like, okay, it's obviously been bad. I mean, awful. And I felt so guilty, like, even saying this. But, like, I'm in, like, a lot of, so I have Ellers Danlo's syndrome, but a lot of people that have Ellers Danlo syndrome also have dysonomia or Pots.

POTS is like a form of dysaidinomia. It's postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and I also have it. And they're finding it to be common that a lot, not all definitely. And this is more of the hypermobile type, which is what I have. There's like a subgroup that has all three of EDS, pots, and mastel activation syndrome, which I have. my body thinks I'm like allergic to everything but I'm not actually and like my histamine and stuff goes crazy. There's all kinds of stuff.

But I actually over the last like four months have like gotten a mass cell stabilized. If y'all can't tell I've gained like 20 pounds because I can. I think you look beautiful regard. Like I don't I don't I don't see weight. You know what I'm saying? Well, I got like really like to where I didn't want anybody to see me because I was like so sickly, skinny-looking and like really black around my eyes and stuff, which they're still pretty dark.

But, like, it was because I couldn't eat because my body thought I was allergic to pretty much everything. If your body thinks you're allergic to everything and reacts that way, I mean, what's the difference? And you know what I mean? That I'm not actually allergic to it. I'm just saying if your body shuts down when it sees the shit anyways, like, that's the same thing as being allergic to it.

Well, it changes. Like if something can bother me one day and two, it really just depends on like how overloaded my system is. So like I could maybe get away with something one day. But if like I found out that I'm like severely allergic to grass. So like if somebody mows, then like I have to avoid. If I have went outside like I have to wash my hair so the pollen isn't still on me and I have to make sure. to avoid all those other triggers because my body is already freaking out. But so back to like just chronic illness and like disabilities and stuff in general,

like during the pandemic, everybody's kind of been like, well, America, like welcome to our world. Right. Because people have actually had to start like living how we live in, which I'm able to get out more now. and I'm getting stronger. And like I'm way, I'm the best I've been in like three years. And so like I can do more now. But like, I mean, there was a point there that I could only stand for like two minutes unassisted. And like I was like fighting off a wheelchair, which I feel bad for even saying because.

No, don't feel bad. There's nothing wrong with using a wheelchair. I'm just stuck. Well, of course there's not. But it's not preferable regardless. I mean, you can say that something's, it's fine. There's no shame in using one, but you can definitely say that's not the preferable thing. Where do you have any, where can people find out more about this and maybe donate to research and the calls for zebras other than, you know, National Zebraday.

Dot com or whatever, whatever it is. Well, no, and that ain't even like an Ellersandall's thing, but, you know, we just celebrate all zebra stuff. the Ellers Danlo's Society. It's like I love them. I got to go to the conference like two years ago. And it was like life changing for me. And like so if anybody's watching like if you ever get the opportunity to go, like you should definitely go.

You learn so much and you meet so many people and people just like you and stuff. Like it's weird because like you like a lot of us say, we feel like aliens or whatever in our bodies because our bodies just don't cooperate. Right. But it's so weird because so many people know exactly what you're talking about. Right. But the Ellers Downo Society has done so much since, just since like 2017, like for research and stuff. And like that's who, like, they really do put into the community and try to help people and stuff.

So that's who I was in. I think it's Ellersdellis. I don't know if it's dot com or dot org. I think it's dot com. If you find out what it is after this podcast, just sent it to me and I'll put it in the little description so everybody can know. Okay, yeah. But they are to like if you think that like if you have what,

do I need to hush? Are y'all done? No. No. No. What are you laughing at? I'm not, nothing.

I'm not laughing it. There's definitely not a Zoom chat that happens while we're in the Zoom. There's definitely not that. That's all I'll say. Nothing, Paige. I got tickled. Can you tell us how to spell it?

Because obviously that's, if you don't have it, that's not a, it's someone's name, I assume. E-E-H-L-E-H-L-S-D-A-N-L-L-O-S. Yes. And so like, Just real quick, like, I know I need to hurry. No, you don't.

It's fine. Take your time. Some of the main symptoms of it is like joint, but well, okay, some of the most common symptoms of one of the most common types, which is hypermobility type. And it's common with some of the others too. But there's different stuff with each subtype and there's like a lot of different subtypes now. But joint hypermobility. Is it inflammation, like an inflammation situation? It's a connected.

It's a connect. It's a word. So like my ligaments and everything are too stretchy. So I have to keep, which is something else. If you do have it, like physical therapy and strengthening your muscles is so important because that's what got me to not have to use a wheelchair because where are a ligament. And so like, stretchy. Yes.

And then you have to keep your muscles strong enough to hold your joints in place because, like, that was what was happening with me is my hip, the muscles around my hips were getting so loose that my hip joints just kept popping out of place. Like every time I would walk, my hips would pop out of place. So I was having to like tape my hips in, but it's still like it wasn't always working. So you have to keep your joint or your muscle strong enough to support your joints. What else? Oh, so I'm pretty sure that mine is like more than some people's. I don't really know. But like stretchy skin.

Like last day, okay, I'm about to like show. But like, like, y'all know the dude that was like on a Guinness Book of World Records or something because I think he did like his neck and like does it look stretchy? I can't tell. I mean, I can't tell how hard you're pulling. But I mean, yes, that definitely looks like elasticy. And actually, you know what? Now that I'm thinking about it, like I've got a lot of skin and mine won't do that.

So like, yeah, actually that you got. So you're talking about a very serious thing and then you just started pulling on your face. Yeah. Well, because like I can stretch Armstrong. Does that dude have it? Huh? Does he have? Yeah, yeah, he does.

And he made something of himself, Paige. Yeah, he pulled himself. He won a record. The joke I was about to say. He pulled himself up by his neck flaps. And a lot of people that you say that do the contortion. A lot of those people have Ellery's downless or like joint hypermobility syndrome, which is now like. It seems painful.

The overall condition. Yeah. Oh, so painful. Like, that's been like, it's so painful. Like, which I'm kind of better now and I know what to do. Like, I can tell when my body starts getting too loose and I'll start exercising more and stuff. But like, I have to wear a lot of braces, like ankle braces, if I'm going to be on my feet long because my once. So it's like your muscles are working out all day long.

It's like you're at the gym. all day long. Like actually, my muscles are twitching right now because I've been setting up or whatever. But so, so my muscles are like constantly activated. So,

but once they're done, they're done. Like once they're done, they're done. Like, everything turns to jello. And when it gets like that, it is really painful.

That's one of the, like, worst things and all the comorbid conditions. Like there's so many, like, comorbid issues with it. But, yeah. Well, that goddamn don't hit. What's it called again? Ellen DeGeneres.

What was it? Ellers Down Low Syndrome. Ellers Down Low Syndrome. We heard it first here, folks. It sucks. Go look it up, donate. And remember, if you hear hoofbeats, God damn it, it might be a zebra.

Am I wrong? And a lot of people have been taught that. up having Ellers-Dan-Lis-Land-L syndrome, including myself, I've been told that they were hypochondriac. Yeah. Look, that was, so that's a thing that I've myself have been guilty of. I'll be the first to me. I'm not proud of myself, but I will admit that, and it wasn't you and it wasn't

this specific disease, but there have been times. I know you're talking about I did the same thing to her. Yeah, I'm not going to say who because it's rude, but like there have been times where I've heard of someone who had this rare ill and I just thought, oh, shit. just making it up. And I'm admitting that. And it's embarrassing and I'm not proud of myself, but just to say that like, it's possible that you're out there doing that to somebody too and that's not cool. And so I know me and Drew have been just bullshit and joking and we probably shouldn't do that, but that's just our nature. But this is a very serious thing. Thank you,

Paige, for bringing it to our attention. Go look it up, donate and help spread awareness for this. and follow page on page where can people find you? Okay, so I started doing photography now. Uh-oh. I've gotten stronger because I did not know that I had Ellersdown syndrome until I started getting really sick at the end of dental hygiene school. So that sucks that I still have those student loans from, and I got my license.

I passed my boards, got my license, and then my hands decided to stop working. So I don't. have a lot of controller feeling in my hands. But so, and I've just been sick for like the last, like, three or four years, I've been really sick. But I'm finally starting to get better because I've finally built my team of doctors and, you know, just figured out things I can do.

So I've started doing photography now, which I'm just now getting, like, starting to post stuff. Okay. That was really long. But follow my social media. It's crowd a pee. Crowd a pee. Paige, I don't want to be rude. I have to go like now because I have another thing,

but I just want to say thank you so, so much. Oh, thanks for having me on. I love you. Tell Andy I love her. I will. All right. Well, in keeping with the trend of everybody dipping out aside from me, I will also bid you a due.

Page, I love you very much. Hey, you listen... C-R-O-W-D-A-P. Hey, you listen to this podcast, a frequent amount, correct? Yeah. Do you want to sing the outro song for everybody? Why, no. Come on.

How about I just give a skew? Do that. Are you talking about the... We're the liberal right now? No, no, no, no. That's the intro song. I'm in the outro song. It's easier.

What is the outro? I'll do it. And then as soon as I get through with it, you give a skew. How about that? That's how we'll end the episode. Okay. Thank you all for listening to The Well Red Show. We love to stick around longer because we got to go.

At tuning next week if you got nothing to do. Thank you, God bless you. Good night and skew. Skew! Thank you, Paige. I love you. Love you. Bye.

Bye. They're the liberal rednecks They like cornbread, but sex They care way too much But don't give a fun They're the liberal rednecks That makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks

That you can suck
