There was like an innkeeper

Did they have a glass eye and a hunchback?
Not far from it.
His name was Ricardo.
And he was
real creepy.
So, what else do you
pack if it's not just
Well, like I have a big caboodle with all my like
God damn it stop
Beauty stuff I mean I don't even wear makeup usually
But I have a ton of products for no reason
Just in case I need to
You know get into drag or something
Gotta have your products
You never know when there's going to be an impromptu drag show
That you can participate in
But hands down what takes up the most space in my suitcase
Is I wear shoes One time on a four-day trip i packed eight shoes i just really eight pairs so 16 shoes
for a four-day long weekend god damn i mean some of them are like little flats that just smush up
and they don't take a lot of room and so those i feel like i don't even count those right okay but then there's like you know one pair of wedges i
need a pair of tennis shoes it's just like i just never know what's gonna happen yeah i think i'm
i think i always slightly i'm preparing for an apocalypse yeah you have you are the only person
i know who has like a um a prepper kit okay we don't need to call it that it's it's a go bag okay well okay
go whatever you want it's just a backpack i wasn't using that i decided to put all of my like
survival gear in it was spread all over the over the house just random things you have i'm sure
already i just put it all in one place algae kit kit Yeah What's an algae kit? To like brew beer?
So you can make algae and eat it
Well I actually really do
I don't even know if an algae kit's a real thing
I doubt it
I actually really do want to invest in a water filtration system
Like a camping, hiking
I have a water filter
Yeah
I really want one
I think it's a good investment
Yeah
It's like 60, 70 bucks you yeah that's
an investment it is you're right you're not wrong yeah 70 bucks is what kind of scenario would you
theoretically be running from uh
you know in the real heat of a moment i'd probably just crawl under my bed to be honest
i don't even watch zombie shows i i don't even i can't even watch handmaid's tale
so it's not like i'm really just i had i had a dream the other night i i'm not into zombie
shit at all never been attracted to it never even thought it was entertaining but i had a dream the other night that included all of us our buddies the glorifiers and tom petty but it wasn't just tom petty
it was tom petty in that mad hatter suit from his video for uh don't come around here anymore
that's amazing and he was the most humble guy it was amazing i have all my shotgun shells in that
backpack too just so i know where they are
it's probably it's probably heavy as fuck right well the joke was it's when i moved when i was
packing to move the last time i was like you know what i'm just gonna do this and i started i like
threw my like camping stove in there like my not stove but like my little camping like
um fucking skillet thing little camping cooking pack whatever. I just like threw a ton of shit.
Hot hands.
Fucking like baby wipes.
Just a bunch of shit.
Rando shit.
An extra toothbrush.
I literally have extra underwear in this bag.
Just like I just,
while I was packing,
I was just like,
things I would see,
I'd be like,
okay, I'll put that like duct tape,
a bunch of shit.
And then when I need stuff like that,
I know where it's at.
I just go get it out of the bag
and use it and put it back.
Just your,
you need a shotgun shell. And then I threw all those bullets. then i threw all those bullets yeah i threw all my shells in there
too and then i literally couldn't pick it up i couldn't pick the backpack up and i was like well
that's not really going any goddamn where i remember i house sat for you one time and i
was sleeping in your bed and you at one point i think you had a Shotgun holstered right above it
And then I think there was another one
Like on some kind of chest or something
At the bottom or maybe it was just at that time
Underneath it?
Was it like you pulled it off the bottom?
But in your bedroom you had more than one gun
Ready to go at any time
I have more than one shotgun in my room
I don't have them on the wall anymore
It seemed like a little much
I have them in the top of the closet now with my fishing poles damn interesting that's that that that's how
you know you've moved on to another chapter of life another stage of life your guns and your
fishing poles go in the back of the closet no the top they're in the top or the top of the closet
when i was growing up my dad had all of his guns in the back of the closet um we never had them
displayed or anything well because my nephews come over and they're not loaded of course i'm not a fucking maniac i don't
have loaded guns in the house but like they're in total out of reach of any children they're up as
high as i can get them that's good and i haven't the last time i shot my guns was for a new year's
eve party years ago at the hen house probably i i have not pulled that because i used to get
them out once a year and like clean them and whatever and now i just don't fucking care i i heard about this party
i was not there i was like oh my god my god they're firing firing firing really yeah they're
drinking and firing weapons that's a good party um someone that we don't like who was there i just probably shot him but
he i had my my fondest memory of the party was i had you know there was a performance in the back
of my truck i drove a pickup then yeah yeah and globsters performed in the back of my truck it
was really fun i pulled it up in the yard. And so in preparation for the performance, I took the toolbox out of my truck.
I had like a, you know, like a big toolbox that goes the width of the truck.
And I'd sat in the yard.
And at one point later in the night when he was super drunk, this guy just like took off running for some reason.
And just plowed into the fucking toolbox at his shins.
Oh, didn't see it?
Didn't see it at all.
Hit it, hit it, shin. You know, it's sitting on the ground he hit it right below his knee and went airborne just flew
straight over it i don't even know how it happened it was did he try to recover like no he just laid
there sometimes you just have to admit defeat herpy pride's really hurt when one of those
scenarios you just kind of lay
there and stew for that is a motherfucker of an injury right there in the shin oh yeah that shit
is just exposed that's exposed bone oh man it hurts yeah he's a skinny motherfucker too
later that night he slammed the back door and shattered the window in the door he was
fucking god damn well that's cool um a little remnant we've talked about this in the door. He was like, I'm one. I'm two. Fucking God.
Well, that's cool.
We've talked about this gun thing before.
Yeah.
It's one of the
it's one of your
calling cards.
Actually,
it's one of the reviews
we got at one point.
It was like,
I come for Terrence's
autistic Marxist
ramblings
and stay for Tanya's
shotguns on the wall.
Yeah.
I was like, damn,
am I really that socially awkward?
Wow.
Before we get too far down the road,
I didn't tell you about the zombie dream
though, Tom Petty.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Basically, these zombies
only came out at night.
So once day broke,
they all went back to their
wherever zombies congregate
in the daytime in
this dream that at night at night time portal my man petty opened the door and said get in
get in and he barricaded us and then he went up with the shotgun he was just pecking them off when
they'd come to the yard tom petty had us he's a zombie hunter is that you had us locked in why
do you think we have
dreams about celebrities sometimes here's the thing i've had dreams about people i listen to
in podcasts which means people have definitely had dreams about us i doubt it you say that
but i guarantee you someone is that dream a dream of some kind about you
and they don't they don't even know really they only have an abstract idea of who
you are right that creeps me out when i meet people and they're like hey you're on trailbillies
i am so creeped out immediately and at first i'm like you're not flattered it takes a while i get
there eventually remember one time i went to a party and all these people were trailbillies fans
and i and they just kept every time a new person would show up, they'd be like, that's Tanya
from Trillbillies.
And so I text you, I was drunk, but I text you all, I'm pretty sure it said, I'm starstruck.
And you were like, no, they're starstruck.
Yeah.
No, you got that backwards.
I was like, I don't know what time it is.
It was at a wedding.
Y'all ever been starstruck?
You ever met somebody famous and been starstruck?
Oh yeah.
I met Solange.
I didn't, I couldn't make words.
I met Solange and Nola in new orleans uh for katrina 10 i was down there for the 10th anniversary of katrina there was like a big rally and second line and stuff and uh
solange fucking rolled up on a beat exactly how you'd think in a green in a green jumpsuit with
a big like floppy hat on a beach cruiser bicycle with a basket, with stuff in her basket.
Exactly the way you would assume Solange moves through the world.
That is how.
She looked like a goddess.
She looked like she'd rolled off the cover of Garden and Gun magazine.
Rolls up to where we're at and is like, hey, what's going on over here?
And my friend Ash talked to her and gave her a t-shirt and a flyer.
That's wild.
She put it in her basket, rolled off.
I was just like.
Damn.
No words.
Your sister's the most famous person on the planet.
And you're, you know, a super talented artist.
And you're just rolling in on a Vespa, just hanging out in New Orleans.
Vespa?
No, she's on a little beach cruiser bicycle.
She's croaking.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like one of thoseing. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like one of those bicycles without gears or anything.
Yeah, yeah.
Just the real simple ones with like the big seats.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And a basket.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
No, she was cranking.
She was riding a bike by herself.
So you were starstruck.
You couldn't even talk to her?
Oh, no.
I didn't say a word.
This was before a seat at the table, too.
Yeah, yeah.
2015. But I knew. She was pulling off. Why'd you kick Jay-Z in the dick in that elevator? talk to her oh no i didn't say a word this was before a seat at the table too yeah yeah 2015
but i knew she's pulling off why'd you kick jay-z in the dick in that elevator
what'd he do that son of a bitch
just like throw all of it out at once every word i wanted to say damn uh i feel like i've
met other celebrities like uh just like artists that I've went and seen in concert
Well here's the thing
I can't believe I'm actually admitting this
But if I actually watched Parks and Rec
I probably would have been starstruck by Nick Offerman
But I don't actually watch that show
And so it was just like
That's what made it a little bit easy
And I'm not cool faced
It's just a guy who I know is famous
But I don't really know his work that well.
Well, see, I was a big Parks and Rec fan.
But for some reason, he wasn't that.
That's why he was kind of trembling.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I was pretty weirded out, which I've been emailing with his manager a bunch.
He's going to do some stuff for Apple Shop.
I'm pretty into it.
But, yeah, it wasn't honestly until he laughed.
And his laugh was the exact same.
His laugh is the same as Ronon swanson the character you said
that too and again i didn't know that i was like and when that happened i was a little like oh god
i did like him in the second season of fargo uh that's the only thing i've seen him in though
i should have told him that he just was good people well he just dropped his first like
film where he's he's starring Oh, yeah, I saw that.
I forget the name of it, but it's like a cutesy family rom-com or something.
Yeah.
Do you think we'll ever get there?
Do you think we'll ever star in a movie?
Rom-com?
No.
No, I don't.
Do you want to?
No, not really.
Fuck.
Well, I do, so.
It'll be an extra.
I'm just kidding. I don't think. I kind of kind of want to occupy niche on the lower end of notoriety i'd like to be some sort of a producer or a director or you
know yeah it's kind of somebody that greases the wheels i'm with you they don't know my work but
they don't necessarily know my face i don't want to work i want to be i want to be lay about yeah
i want to be camped up.
I just want to be a sugar baby.
Here's what you need to shoot for.
I want a sugar mama.
You want to be...
I think his name is Chad Hugo.
Isn't that his name?
The guy who was...
The Neptunes, yeah.
Pharrell, yeah.
Pharrell's like right-hand guy.
You know, you don't really ever see anything of him,
but he's like the sort of...
probably the creative genius behind a lot of his...
Even when you talk about the Neptunes,
you don't say it's the Neptunes,
but you say it's a Pharrell baby.
Right.
Yeah.
Damn, that's where you want to be, though.
Yeah.
Well, that's not going to work for this podcast.
It's got to have a star.
We got to have a star.
Well, I guess it's you.
It's not me.
It's...
Not it.
That's you, Ty.
That's you.
Hot potato.
Hot potato.
You got to get back in the saddle there.
It feels like we've been going for two years now
We ain't hit it yet
Year and a half
And give it time
We're gonna have shirts
What do we think is gonna be the kick
What do you all really think
Is gonna be the tipping point
If we do take off
And can make a living off this podcast
What do you think could do it Well if we do take off and can make a living off this podcast?
What do you think could do it?
Well, we'd have to stop being lazy.
There have been so many times... We need to hire a producer.
Short of that.
Short of pure laziness.
We and Tom, we can be so...
The weird thing about it is that when the podcast is going good, Short of pure laziness. We and Tom, we can be so incredible.
The weird thing about it is that when the podcast is going good,
when my personal life is going good,
and I don't have a whole lot of turmoil and shit,
emotional turmoil and depression and stuff,
I'm like... It's about six weeks out of the year.
Which is about six weeks out of the year, right.
Is that the hottest part of the year?
Like right now, are you in your...
It's usually fall for me.
Fall, yeah.

You mean no booze?
Yeah
No drugs, no booze?
Well
I didn't say all that
I don't drink
Isn't that the
The Davis strategy?
You take off boozing
From New Year's to Derby Day just to stave off cirrhosis.
Oh, that is good.
That's probably good.
Does he actually say by that now?
I don't know.
But it'd be easier to bunker up.
I just learned that he's a vegetarian.
I had no idea.
Has been for years, supposedly.
Yeah.
I didn't know.
But he eats fish.
Okay, pescatarian.
But, yeah, I do Januaryuary and i've started august
this year because august is a real hard month for me one y'all know i have a terrible record with
leos but it's my dad's my dad's birthday is this month it's like this week actually and a bunch of
this bad shit in my life has happened in august how do you do with Libras? I have a ton of Libra friends.
You, Liz, Willa.
So many Libras in my life.
You know, don't you have like a regular ass sign and then like a rising sign or a moon or some shit?
Yeah, what's your moon sign?
What's your rising sign?
I think it's Scorpio.
Mine's a Scorpio.
That's probably why we click.
Oh, yeah.
Slightly.
Slightly.
Occasionally.
Six weeks out of the year.
Yeah.
A good six weeks.
Mine's Aquarius, I think.
I don't have many Aquarius in my life.
Rising.
I'm Scorpio rising and a Libra moon.
Damn.
So, yeah.
We match up a couple times.
I don't know what my moon is.
I saw a really horrendous Twitter thread earlier today about how J.K. Rowling got the astrological
signs of her characters wrong.
We're like, no, no, no. Not just that she got them
wrong, but that she gave them incorrect
characteristic traits according to their
astrological signs. The nerve.
It's really bad out there, folks.
Speaking of, I want
all Tribblies fans
to know that I threw a huge fit because there was
a tarot reading without me in fact i did my own tarot reading to try to tear down triblies
from the root because i was left out of the tarot episode so was tom i wasn't in that name
that was i look don't give a fuck about tarot. I got three decks. Hey, I love to divine the cards.
What are you talking about?
I texted him on our group message, which ain't as lit as it once was.
But I was like, you fucking left me out of the tarot episode.
What the fuck?
I'm sorry.
I didn't plan on that happening.
It was kind of of the moment.
It did seem that way. It was of the moment,
and the whole reason that my friend Caroline
had them to begin with
was because I was like,
I'm working out some personal shit.
Bring the tarot over.
All your witchy friends will bring the tarot over
when you're working out some shit.
Look, I got two stones I'm packing around.
Tanya at least tried to smudge me on three different occasions.
I've tried to smudge these motherfuckers out.
Their nerves are bad. They got bad nerves.
And I've tried to smudge them so many times.
Here's the thing, though.
You know me too well.
And I needed an objective...
Okay, I'll take that.
I needed someone with a remove.
Caroline knows me really well,
but she doesn't know the particulars of my life at the moment.
You see what he's saying here is that he needed-
Doesn't know his misdeeds.
He needed a tarot without judgment.
He didn't need me using tarot to drag him.
That's 100% what I'm saying.
You'd be biased.
You'd be biased.
Either are you fucked with him, throw a bad carton at it and you'd just go.
It's fine.
Exactly.
That's what it was.
Just slow step backwards out of the house.
So you see now, right?
Like I had no other choice.
I love all that shit.
I'm the one who tries to get y'all to put up the Ouija board every Halloween.
You don't fuck with it.
Fuck a Ouija board.
Y'all go chasing ghosts.
I ain't looking for ghosts.
They come find my ass.
These motherfuckers
do go ghost hunting
every Halloween
and I ain't never went.
I went once.
Johnny Booger's grave.
Were you with
Johnny Booger's grave?
See, y'all went
fucking around in Lots Creek
and I told you
it's not to go
fucking around Lots Creek.
There's scarier shit
than ghosts in Lots Creek
for one.
Or alive.
In Naughton County
that are living,
walking zombies. True. And two, you got up there and fucked around with a fresh grave didn't you well well it was weird
because we got there and it's like the thing that was so strange about all that every time we go
ghost hunting it's not that anything really creepy happens like on all halloween tours
it's just like there's just these weird coincidental things like
when we went to uh James Steele's cabin and the dogs just lined up and started to quit barking
right and then when we were at Johnny Boogers we were up there and we walked it was just by
pure accident that we found it to begin with we got to walking up there and I was like oh damn
look down stepping right over a fresh grave.
Like, what the fuck?
It fucks you up.
Like, that ain't cool, really.
Go ahead, finish.
Well, anyway, they had to move Johnny Booger's grave site.
Why?
Because people kept coming to it? Well, every Halloween, it was kind of like his house
and then the family cemetery.
And then I guess they moved it.
Because all these fucking kids would go up there and get drunk and have sex in his house.
And then do seances on his grave.
And I guess some of them were leaving beer cans and shit out there and stuff. Imagine if you're a spirit in the afterlife.
And that's what you've got to put up with every single day.
A bunch of 16-year-old kids just fingering each other in your fucking, in your family cabin.
It's like, God.
They're like, the fucking floor is disgusting.
You have to watch.
You have to watch.
No respect, no respect.
You're literally from the afterlife
having to watch culture just,
to my eyes, just completely decay.
The complete decay of culture.
You went to your grave thinking that
the future generation's going to be better.
No.
Absolutely.
No, I'm the one who, the only time I've left the country, I didn't know what I was doing.
I don't know how to be a tourist, really.
I went to all the big things you're supposed to see.
So we went to Rome.
So we went to the Colosseum.
I don't know what you actually should do to have a good time in Rome.
I would go to the Colosseum.
I went to the Colosseum. I went to the Colosseum.
I told you there's literally an expression,
when in Rome.
Well, we ended up...
I don't know what you're supposed to do.
This is all you need to know about me.
My favorite part of Rome was
we got off at two things.
One, we got off on the wrong metro stop one time
and ended up at a little like
fair where no one spoke english and i bought a ton of shit and shipped it home the box never came
i'm still that was three years ago i'm still holding out a little hope it'll get here
but uh i bought a ton of presents for people never came a bunch of little pops all kinds of
cool shit at this like roman market anyway and and the um that metro stop was
completely covered in punk posters and like fucking anarchist graffiti oh it's amazing i
loved it and it was a total accident the other my other favorite part was we ended up every night we
would get back to where we were staying at this guy's this friend of a friend's house and we were
so tired we just ate at the same restaurant every night across from his place got to know the family that owned it fucking loved it hung out with the like the locals
there it was like it was like a restaurant in a neighborhood yeah that was my favorite part every
night we'd like rush home to eat at this like restaurant it was called the lemon something and
it was like pasta and stuff but their like signature dish was lemon pasta which i wasn't
that crazy about but it was better than i thought it would be i don't even like lemon probably better than anything anybody here oh yeah yeah yeah their house wine's the best
wine i've ever had they call it cheapest shit they had gravy did they call isn't that what they call
like the pasta sauce sunday gravy no i don't remember that it was so cute though anyway we
went to the coliseum and i about had a straight up panic attack and i'm not prone to these type
of things and so i don't never really when the few times I about had a straight up panic attack. And I'm not prone to these type of things.
And so I don't never really, the few times I have had a panic attack, I didn't really know what was happening.
I think I would recognize it now after a few times.
But I had a full on fucking meltdown in there.
And I was like, we have to get out of here.
Because I just knew the more this motherfucker talked about what had happened in there.
And it's not like I went in there, you know, willy nilly, like I didn't know what was going on.
But he was like they used to uh we are gonna bring people in there with
lions and tigers and bears yes for the amusement and entertainment of the of the upper classes
and i knew you know i just i just had like a you know pop culture understanding of the coliseum
but i was like this was a sports arena watching the Giants play I love baseball so we
go up in this place he's like one million people died here and I was like check please we gotta go
he was like the pope comes in and blesses the place once a year to keep the spirits at bay and
I was like I looked I was like we gotta go we're gonna pick up a spirit in here and take it back
we gotta get the fuck out of here and he was like one million people go. We're gonna pick up a spirit in here and take it back. We gotta get the fuck out of here. And he was like, one million people, but
way more animals died here. And I was just like,
we have to go!
We were like in a group of people, and I was like,
I gotta go! Where's the nearest exit?
Where's the nearest exit?
I gotta get out of here.
Yeah, that's just the spiraling staircase
of bad juju.
A million people died, but six million animals
and the Pope comes every year
yeah the pope comes every year to bless it and i was like i have to leave here yeah i highly doubt
that the dead the spirit of a dead slave is going to listen to the pope you know what i mean
anyway i don't think i brought a spirit home from the coliseum but i wasn't gonna stick around and
that'd be pretty tight though yeah we paid a lot to get in there and i just ran the fuck out no we
should do the ouija board let's fucking bring that let's hang out with that goddamn spirit you brought
back no i told you i didn't i didn't bring one back don't fuck with me sure you didn't
europe has really insane... It's funny.
I was looking at this website the other day.
They drained a canal in Amsterdam.
Oh, God.
And they had it.
It was pretty cool.
They had this website where they cataloged every single item they found.
And they went back all the way to 2000c or whatever but um it's funny you you around like 1400 1500 1600 you've got like fish hooks and um uh you know those hooks
that they use to bring boats in into the harbor and um nice porcelain ceramic and just these really beautiful artifacts and then they
get to the 1990s they cataloged all of it and then they get to the 1990s and it's like handguns
monkey pipes you know what i mean like people have committed horrendous crimes
yeah god we're a sick bunch Yeah
Totally
I thought you were gonna say
They found
The little boy's remains
That stuck his finger
In the dock
To save Holland
I still don't know
What that story is
You never heard the story
About the boy
That stuck his finger
In the dock
To save Holland
I think you've told us
To us more than once
Yeah catacombs and shit
It's weird out there
Catacombs
Great word too
Yeah
It's fun to say
It even has like a spooky element
Catacombs and soothsayer
Two very fun words to say
They were both creepy
Agreed
Soothsayers
What is that really?
Soothsayer
Like a fortune teller
Yeah
Sorcerer
The tea leaves
You're like an oracle

Yeah.
Tea leaves, tarot cards, Ouija boards.
Right, right, right.
I mean, native.
You need frameworks, right?
Yeah, all cultures, native.
Well, see, I don't believe in spirits.
I don't believe in the sort of concept behind.
Well, I don't mean dumb as
in like being dismissed i just mean like kind of silly i'm saying me personally but i'll do the
tarot because it provides a framework with which to sort of step back from your life and be like
well i hadn't really thought about it that way yeah what i use the tarot for mostly is journaling
prompts oh yeah like i'll do a three card spread once a week and then journal based on
stuff.
And it brings up stuff for me.
It's like my own therapy since my therapist hates me.
It's not a good place to be.
Why is that?
She thinks I don't need therapy.
Trust me.
Everybody thinks I'm wasting her time.
I told you this. That's an interesting. She's like, uh, everybody's there. She thinks I'm wasting her time. I told you this.
That's an interesting take.
She's like,
perfectly normal.
Gay, stressed with her mother,
hates her job.
Yeah, you're American, baby.
Get on out of here.
Damn, that must mean she really doesn't want to...
Duffin' up, sweetie.
She doesn't want to listen to your problems no it's because every
other every other patient of hers is a mother a new mother on suboxone oh okay that's the only
real problem yeah come back when you got real problems yeah so the bar for what's insane to
her is just yeah that's what i mean that's my assessment maybe she would have a different
i don't know but
actually this is funny i ran into her yesterday in town i wonder how she deals with that is your
therapist here yeah okay and we were at the same lunch spot a new lunch spot opened uh this week
in weinsberg yesterday was opening day it was packed ran into my therapist oh i've done that
well i went to uh dr gish one time when I was feeling like particularly, for lack of a better
term, suicidal and just sort of literally just spilled everything.
Like, I think I'm bipolar.
And she's not even a therapist, is she?
Borderline.
No, no, no.
Not even a psychiatrist.
Not even a psychiatrist.
I was just like, I need help.
I just imagined you like a Simpsons character. Yes. Like, shaking her. Seriously. I was just like, I need help. I just imagined you like a Simpsons character.
Yes.
Shaking her.
Seriously, I was.
I was like, give me a fucking name.
And then I saw her literally like two days later in the dairy aisle at Food City.
I was like, hey, what's up?
It's going good.
It's going good.
Feeling fine.
Feeling fine.
Feeling fine Feeling fine
You know this is
This is
You know we complain a lot
About healthcare in East Kentucky
But this just revealed to me
A perspective I haven't heard
Is from the healthcare providers
Yeah from the healthcare providers themselves
I wonder what their analysis
Of the situation is they're like everybody's
oh man oh my god i'm crying yeah no she avoided eye contact we didn't speak does your there so
it's the therapist here in town so she doesn't do like cognitive behavioral therapy or anything i
don't really know what that means i don't think so i was talking to i don't know very little about
therapy i was talking to my friend friend Caroline about this the other day.
If I could somehow manage
to master cognitive behavioral therapy,
if I could teach it to myself,
like mindfulness meditation,
I could be all powerful.
Just be all powerful.
Mindful meditation.
No, you're good.
It's the headphone jack.
Hold on, my boss has texted me.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, shit.
Fuck.
Get your fucking ass back here, goddammit.
I haven't even been there today.
So do you.
All right, girl.
Fuck it.
I haven't been to my office today either.
Yeah, I haven't either. my office today either In all fairness
I had a lot of shit to take care of this morning
I had to get my truck ready for Slutville to take to Heartland
Yeah you had to put the back on it
That's why I told Carol
I was like well here you go
Put the back on it's going to rain
I did
Thanks for that
It was a sweet message
I don't even think she's there
But you never know.
Who is your boss?
A Jewish carpenter?
Let's not throw names around.
Yeah, Jesus is my co-pilot.
You ever see those stickers?
Yeah.
My boss is a Jewish carpenter.
I saw one the other day that was like,
10 reasons to vote Republican.
The 10 commandments.
It's like, wait, you motherfuckers violate every single one of those
on a daily basis yeah like i can't i i what a fucking wow what are the ten commandments can
you name them tom thou shalt not steal thou shalt not kill thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
thou shalt not adultery or something commit adulterytery Oh speaking of Take the lord's name in vain It seems like it's coveting
Your neighbor's wife
In that same vein
Live maybe
Lie
Well that one's more like lust
And then adultery
Is the actual fulfillment
Of the lust
You know
Yeah
A funny thing
Was watching a bunch of
Did you see that tweet
That showed up
Bare false witness
Yeah
Yeah
What does that even mean
I think it's just lying
That's how they say
Don't lie
Or I think it I think it's just lying that's how they say don't lie or I
think it I think it's like obey your father and mother yeah you're right I
think I think it's I think it's right I don't know can you a bearing false
witness would be like pretending to speak on behalf of God without his
divine blasphemy would be like if you were like jesus
fuck jesus you know jesus doesn't exist or to say god damn right yeah or god damn my favorite
yeah my favorite word that is a good ass word technically you can say it on the radio can you
because you can say damn and god really the only words that are like the seven there's like seven key words that are forbidden on
the radio and they're all related to the like body parts and sex probably like shit cunt yeah
yeah cunt i think uh shit piss fuck fuck cock cum yeah they're like almost all sexual words
we're such a deprived country just like yeah you're right me and tom got in trouble for saying diarrhea one time on the radio what really yeah and it was it was it was a
band was it was it uh sylvia uh i think she probably did you know that is one thing that
pisses me off because one time i was playing that beyonce song um i was playing a beyonce song i
remember what it was and she flipped shit about it. Before 10 a.m., yeah.
No, it was on the digital bedroom.
Wait, what?
Yeah, yeah.
Was it like partition or?
No, it was the slow song.
Yeah, one of them real sexy.
It is the slow sexy song off the self-titled album.
It's like two that don't fit.
I don't remember what it is.
Got a big ego.
Off the self-titled. That's probably partition. I don't remember what it is. Got a big ego. Off the self-title,
that's probably partition.
Well, regardless.
Oh, off the,
okay.
The advertisement
for your show now
has literally the words
sex and chill in it.
Does it?
I think it does,
doesn't it?
No, it's Solange saying,
oh no.
Oh, six inch heel.
Six inch heels.
Which sounds like sex and chill.
It sounds like sex,
but it's saying six inch heels.
God, but he did
cold shower. You thought it was sex and chill? I did. Six inch heels. Which sounds like sex. It sounds like sex, but it's six inch heels.
You thought it was sex and chill?
I did.
I was like, why does Tanya get away with this and not me?
God damn it.
No, it's six inch heels.
Which when the album first dropped, Tom's the first person I knew that heard it.
And he texted me a bunch of lyrics.
And he was like, six inch heels is going to be the slapperpper he doesn't already know damn i know what album is that on the self-title lemonade damn yeah damn damn damn how time flies yeah that's my
fuck i was thinking and then my other my other radio promo solange yeah yeah yeah it just says I like that one because I like that
song every time I hear it yeah it's such a good it's a bop yeah as they say you're right it is
how's um how's girls rock camp going girls rock camp I put the wrong emphasis girls girls rock
camp how's girls rock camp uh girls are rocking over there i mean it's awesome i saw
them jumping around over there just second i said the parking lot a bunch of girls just losing their
shit over in the boom bill yeah they're just going wild it's pretty beautiful it's just taking a lot
out of a lot of people it's been really stressful and the boon is just you know crumbling uh physically
they see went out and when it went out it dumped a ton of water into
the first floor from the second floor oh shit oh yeah uh the toilets have overflowed twice
you know it's a week at apple shop yeah uh yeah the breedings have been there like three times
the city's gonna have to come to deal with the fucking plumbing oh god that's your first mistake
yeah crumbling city infrastructure that's what we're dealing with.
But I want to, if I can find it real quick, read you an Instagram post from one of the
girls.
Okay.
It's very cute.
Okay.
Very cute.
Yeah.
That building used to be a gas station.
Callie's grandpa used to-
Mechanic shop, yeah.
Yeah, mechanic shop.
But motor building.
Yeah.
Motor building.
You ain't got no internet up here, do you?
No, I don't.
Well, basically she just posted a picture of the drums she was playing on and said,
This week I'm learning to be loud and unapologetic.
I'm learning to be myself without being sorry for it.
I was just like, fuck yeah, little girl.
This is like a 16-year-old.
If that's it, if that's all they learn, fuck it.
You're right.
It's more of a mentality than it is actual skills.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, they're gaining a lot of skills.
They've already wrote songs.
They formed a band.
They're playing music together.
They're doing the damn thing.
Lacey's making their merch.
Yeah.
They're doing great.
They each made a block print of their logo for their bands.
They're just fucking doing the damn thing. Yeah. Like, they're doing great. They each made a block print of their, like, logo for their bands. Right.
They're just fucking doing the damn thing.
Yeah.
And, like, but really it's about leadership and, like, just feeling like gaining some confidence as a young, like, as a girl so that you can just jump into anything and be
like, you know what?
I could try that.
I could fucking do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's pretty, it's, so how is it sort of structured?
You, like, form a band and then there's like sort of leaders for each band well
each band has like a couple coaches but they're not even necessarily they're just like hype girls
they're just to be like yeah that's awesome or like maybe this yeah they're just like hype girls
yeah there are more volunteers like uh like you know not girls like older older young women more
there are more volunteers than campers over there it's like taking a lot of people to make this happen because we're having to move gear all day long from
practice practice they're practicing with their with like all the bases are together all the drums
are together guitars together then they have to switch all that around into the spaces to put
them into band practice right where each place just has one instrument of each so it's just like
constant gear i hope one of those girls develops a real big ego and just starts like motherfucking you
tanya get my fucking bass amp over here i tell you roadies am i right
i do too yeah she's okay this is what it says it finally loaded i'm learning how to be loud
and unapologetic unapologetic and how to take up space without feeling sorry for it.
So one of the little like camp things, and this is for the like Girls Rock Alliance or whatever.
This is an international thing.
Is that, no sorry.
So when someone says sorry, you're supposed to say you rock.
And it's hard to like rewire yourself to not say I'm sorry for every fucking thing.
You know, you just like breeze past someone.
Sorry,
sorry,
sorry.
And if it's supposed to be like a no fucking sorry zone,
you just be you.
You don't have to say sorry.
And so the,
the thing is like,
if a girl says sorry,
you're supposed to say no,
you rock.
And so the girls are doing it awesome.
And the,
the volunteers are having the hardest time with it because we have,
we've got another decade on our fucking to unlearn this shit. yeah right right yeah we know when you're that when you're younger
it's easier to uh yeah deprogram that shit i feel like yeah they're catching on really quick
they're all having a great time that's what's important but the volunteers are all kind of
wigging out yeah well there's only what one day one day left? Yeah, today's Thursday, so there's today, and then tomorrow
is the last day, and then the showcase is
Saturday, yeah. That's time.
Six o'clock in the Apple Shop Theater. I was sort of
picturing you and Michelle as
like, uh, P. Diddy.
Like, what was, um, was it
Making the Band? Was it the name of the
show he did? Yeah. What was
O-Town? Y'all remember that?
Oh, no. Oh, that's way back. I don't even remember Making the Band. I don't remember that. Yeah. What was O-Town? Y'all remember that? Oh, no. That's way back.
I don't even remember making the band.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, it was like...
I didn't have MTV growing up.
Danity Kane.
Remember that group?
Danity Kane.
That was like a P. Diddy.
We were on the cheapest cable.
I only had VH1.
Oh, okay.
I didn't get VH1.
Yeah.
Which make the band was Dylon?
Just kidding.
I love... That was...? Just kidding. I love.
That was.
I forget which.
I used to love that shit. Wasn't Dylon the Chappelle Show parody version of a character on making the band?
Or was it Dylon in actual.
I don't think Dylon was the actual guy.
But they were just like.
He just like motherfucked to go get him jelly beans and shit.
I think you're right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Looks like y'all have got a healthier thing going on
than the p diddy thing because the p diddy thing he would like make them do just the most ridiculous
chores and stuff well i it's really like michella carrie and paulina it's slut peel it's really like
i've just been mostly trying to yeah support i mean all last week i would clock out at work
literally and then walk across street and work five hours on the fucking building oh getting it ready yeah getting it ready and then it crumbled and they
mostly had to be an apple shop most of the time because the ac went out the toilet's fucked which
the plumbing had been fucked up but we thought it was fixed it's just like an ongoing problem but
the ac got worked out so they're mostly back in the boon uh and they love the space they've helped
you know make it their own it's really wait till y'all see it is definitely on saturday before you come to
the showcase y'all are coming yeah i'll be there go to the boon and check out the back of the boon
it looks completely different like the back where they used to have shows yet and stuff yeah yeah
that's pretty cool yeah hopefully the and even like linda jean you know part of the local honey
she's like i I can't wait
to see what else we do back here now.
Like, la, la, la.
Yeah.
Super, super cool back there.
We just had to throw away a ton of stuff.
Yeah.
The boot needs like an annual, like.
Yeah.
And we smudged, we've smudged every day for like two weeks.
You know some bad shit's happening there.
It's unbelievable.
What you should do is just, yeah, pile all the sage. Wherever there's a local punk scene, some bad shit's happening there. What you should do is just pile all the sage.
Wherever there's a local punk scene, some bad things happen.
Yeah.
Yeah, pile it all up.
Pile all the sage up in like a 50-mile radius and put it all in the building.
Just burn it in the inside.
Like a bonfire.
Yeah, like a bonfire.
Totally.
Right, right.
But I've been just like trying to, Portmanteauelle i literally rubbed her feet this week one evening
just like she's just stressed to the max yeah she's like a new organizer and she's doing great
but she does not like being the like person who everyone's asking questions to she doesn't like
being the person with the answers i hate that it's like a real shift for her and she is you know
handling it in various ways yeah well you know just even for people that are used to
being that role it's pretty stressful yeah it's very stressful so she's like in charge for the
first time of something like this and so it's just been a learning experience for everybody
and i think it's ultimately gonna be real good for everybody yeah involved sounds like it yeah
the girls are awesome they've been really good to each other which is really nice and they came
from three different counties oh yeah yeah Perry, Letcher, and Harlan
Okay so they're all from eastern Kentucky
Yeah one of them's from Mount Starlin
Where's that at?
Montgomery County
About a half hour from Lexington
Yeah
Oh
But it's like WMT listening area
And they're already talking about
You know how to fundraise for next year
Yeah
Most Girls Rock Camps charge campers but this is a free
camp because like yeah just a lot of access issues and it's the first year right right right right
um but yeah it's been pretty cool that's cool they're they're good they're talented so no uh
no conflicts or uh drama or anything no not i mean just like structural yeah what is what is breedings
is that a plumbing it's yeah they do like heating air plumbing they're the stringiest
motherfuckers i ever dealt with they'll come and diagnose 25 of the problem get that
shut you know that uh what do you call it when they just show up check it out
yeah they showed up two weeks ago.
Consultation fee.
Consultation.
Yeah, with liquid fire, which anybody can buy at Frazier's.
He rolled in with liquid fire, and I was like, that's all you got.
Liquid fire is just like a disgusting chemical to put down a toilet to try to unclog it.
Sort of like Drano, but probably more intense.
Oh, yeah.
Industrial level Drano.
It's definitely industrial. I mean, as soon as you take the...
The bottle comes in plastic.
You have to take a layer of plastic off the bottle.
That's what I was asking.
I want a liquid fire gun.
And it's advised to hold it as far away from your own body as possible
and turn your head away when you pour it down the drain.
How it's legal to sell this shit.
Turn around and it's not even a toilet layer.
That's what they come and charge you to do yeah and you can buy anybody can buy it at frazier's which i don't know how
it's legal i mean our our toilet chemicals not fda fuck it i don't even know well here's the
thing i don't i don't a lot of chemicals um it's funny you asked this because I've learned all about this.
You happen to be a chemist.
I happen to be a chemist.
No, all I know though
is that the regulations on chemicals
in this country are very, very lax.
And it's why Teflon became so much of a problem
because, well, I guess the nickname for it is c8 because if it's like
eight carbon chain or whatever but teflon is in all of us it's in everything it's like it's so
it's thoroughly disseminated in the environment goddamn rats in me baby and it's a proven
carcinogen it is and it causes yeah it causes cancer just ravages bodies but yeah it's in
it's like it's dispersal
through the environment is incredible it's kind of hilarious you bring up teflon because that is
like i i get on the worst soapbox in stores about teflon and with my mom because she has got the
scratched up the most scratched up fucking teflon shit in her house every time i'm in there i'm like
i mean i keep buying her new kitchen shit and she refuses to use it.
Well, yeah.
And it's scratched the fuck up.
I mean, we've probably ate all the Teflon in it by now, I guess.
I'm about to shut the fuck up about it.
But I'm like, Mom, Congress declared this a carcinogen and gave them a decade to get
rid of it.
Right.
If that don't tell you how fucked up America is, I don't know what does.
They were like dumping this shit back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
They were dumping it like just straight up
into the Ohio River. They were
burying tons of barrels of it
in the banks of the Ohio River
because, you know,
it was made in this plant in
Parkersburg, West Virginia on the banks of the
Ohio River. And
the shit that they've replaced it with,
Teflon, is very chemically similar and there's
no guarantee that it's any safer than Teflon.
What is the one chemical that got loose when the Kanawha River got polluted with the chemical
spill?
That it's estimated that like something crazy like 87% of Americans have this in their system.
I can't remember.
It's like red something. It's like one of those weird number it's a color number for um like coal processing i
think what i mean if it's a if if it's a chemical used to clean coal yeah just just sit with that
and just also sit with this that the the odds are overwhelming that it is coursing through your blood right now.
Yeah.
Probably ours more than yours.
Kind of in a perverse way.
It's kind of beautiful.
It all ties us together.
Wow.
Apocalyptic.
Every blue check on Twitter I'm trying to, you know, get the attention of.
We share a bond.
We share a bond.
We both have red 47s. I can't wait for that to start being
all your comments you know we both have red 47 right carl sagan was like we're all stardust
tom's like we're all teflon we're all teflon baby really though oh my god well honestly this
brings me at the beginning of the show you mentioned something that we had put down in mine shafts, probably.
Oh, zombies.
Oh, zombies.
Yeah, they're coming out of mine shafts.
It reminded me of a comic book I've read, which I think I've told you all about.
Warlords of Appalachia.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the premise.
Oh, really?
Zombies live in coal mines?
Well, they're not zombies.
They're called blue people, which I know what you're thinking.
Blue fugates. Right, right. But it ain. They're called blue people, which I know what you're thinking. Blue fugates.
Right, right. But it ain't that kind of blue people.
They're blue because they're addicted.
Whatever drugs they're addicted to turn them blue.
Like colloidal silver?
Yeah, so they're like the outcast opioid addicted fucking addicts of the region in Warlords of Appalachia.
This like dystopian thing.
And I just wonder so i was like it's like hillbilly akira is what it sounds like yeah but what is good as fuck but
what you know i don't want to give away the whole premise and this wouldn't of the comic because i
actually do recommend it uh even though it's pretty violent uh uh the premise becomes that
you know they've got all these problems in the front end and by like issue four they've realized that um all these drugs have made the blue people um not uh it's
protected them somehow again they don't like they can't feel anything and so they're perfect warriors
oh okay and it becomes known that they're like blessed by the like old religion.
It's this crazy thing.
The premise of the whole thing is that, you know.
Like drug addled Jedis.
That Kentucky has, the whole premise is that, this is based in Kentucky.
It's called the Warlords of Appalachia.
The whole premise is that Kentucky, it's been a few years since I read it, but Kentucky
has seceded from the states because of religious freedom issues and there's like a
long list in the very beginning of all the religions that are banned in the u.s now and
it's like most of the like you know muslim all these all these religions that you would think
right now they would easily pass and it's like old time religion and which is like kentucky um
fucking pentecostal and old regular baptist right right right and so all
these witchcraft mixed in yeah and so it like it creates this bond between kentuckians and like
immigrants and all these and whatever these people and so kentucky secedes from the nation
and so they're being occupied by the u.s government so it's like occupied kentucky
as in like things are going there It's not like active rebellion.
It's like they're under occupation and they like have to stand in food lines and shit,
which we've all seen before.
Right.
And anyway, it's like people are scared of the blue people who are addicts who live out in mine.
And can't feel anything.
They can't.
But turn me out.
They can't feel anything.
I can't feel anything.
I could be a good warrior.
So they've become great warriors.
And they're blessed or something by the old time religion or something. They like sing feel anything. I can't feel anything. I could be a good warrior. So they've become great warriors. And they're blessed or something by the old time religion or something.
They like sing and shit.
It's crazy.
That's what makes me a good warrior in the cultural wars.
In like the war on Christmas and stuff.
The fact that I don't feel anything.
The war on Christmas.
I just don't have any.
I can't pierce this fucking suit of armor.
Anyway, the long term.
The long term here back to this chemical shit,
is that I bet the actual Appalachian transition model becomes where you can dump all your shit here.
We got all these empty mines.
It's happening.
Bring your chemicals.
Bring your trash.
Bring your dumps.
They've started doing that in West Virginia.
What they'll do is they put like
either fracking waste
or leftover
water from fracking operations
or whatever put them back in
mine shafts and then they wind up
bleaching into them
got something to hide we're your guys
what's the
bring us your
whatever your huddled masses
your tired hungry poor bring us your Whatever your huddled masses Your tired hungry and poor
Yeah
Yeah
Bring us your colloidal silver
Teflon and red 47
Yeah
Your diesel waste
Whatever you got baby
Plutonium
We'll take it
Lolly day
Fucking A
Well so anything else going on
We got about 10 minutes left We got 50 We're at 50 minutes What else is going so anything else going on? We got about 10 minutes left.
We got 50.
We're at 50 minutes.
What else is going on?
Anything else going on?
Me and Tom had a pretty good,
a pretty funny bit the other day.
I don't know if you remember this.
It is called
When Keeping It Woke Goes Wrong.
It can go wrong so quickly.
It can go wrong.
Because the story I told was about
one of my friends told me this story last week
about she was in a bar recently with some of her friends and there was this guy on the ground
sort of like writhing around and and um just being an idiot and one of her friends walked up to him
was like that's very disrespectful to um afflicted people people, you shouldn't be doing that. He was like, I was being
a fish.
So that's a good example of when keeping it woke
goes through. Can you think of an example
where somebody did the woke reach
and then the person's just like,
I didn't mean it.
Well, yesterday,
I can't remember what he said
We were coming out of the pizza shop
Oh god I remember what it was
We came out of the pizza shop
And this guy
I don't think he's necessarily woke
Or would say that he is
But he said something and I laughed at it pretty hard
And then I was like I think that was probably inappropriate
But
I don't know how to say this
without incriminating people.
But we were coming out
and someone had a bumper sticker on their car.
It's a grave that says sad.
Yeah, a grave.
Yeah, and the girl I was with was like,
God damn, I was under investigation
for calling him sad.
And I started dying laughing
and the guy in front of me said, I thought that was his preferred pronoun. God damn I was under investigation for calling him sad And I started dying laughing
And the guy in front of me said
I thought that was his preferred pronoun
And I fucking died
I'm gonna start going with that
Sad is my preferred pronoun
It's not a reach
It's really not a reach
That was my car by the way
I was on a call the other day
And this guy chimed in.
You know, you go around and tell everybody your preferred pronouns,
and this guy chimed in and says, yeah, I like masculine adjectives.
Like hairy, sweaty.
I was describing how he'd like to be complimented.
That's what he was saying.
I didn't say his pronouns
I just said I like masculine adjectives
I just can't wait until people start saying daddy
My pronouns daddy
Right right
I'm in the middle of the new season
Of Orange is the New Black
Yeah is it good
Yeah there's a daddy
Damn
I haven't been watching a lot of TV lately
God there was something else i was
gonna tell you all that reminded me what when keeping what goes wrong i don't know if that
was it or not well uh it was mostly that i think why that made me laugh so hard as i've been trying
to think about i'm doing sex ed tomorrow at camp at girls rock camp and the youngest camper is 12
years old and so i'm trying to like go through my curriculum and make sure i feel like it's appropriate for a 12 year old which
i think it is but i also know she has really religious parents like i know her parents are
right right and so i'm mostly just preparing to have the conversation with her parents afterwards
if they get mad i'm gonna try to make this weird for you but i was having phone sex at 12.
yeah like yeah i just think it i think it's mostly like if she you know depending on what
sticks with her and she goes back and repeats somebody might be pissed but you know it wouldn't
be my first rodeo with an angry parent and we have the highest sudden and wanted pregnancy
right in the country here so right you know come at me um but, I was thinking about also how to talk about the gender binary and how it's like, you know, pretty violent and creates a lot of harm for a lot of people thinking that there are, you know, this false dichotomy of two genders.
And it's kind of hard to talk about with young people.
It's like, anyway.
Well, you're having to do a lot of lifting.
I mean, that's a lot of deconstructing.
Yeah.
I think that's what they call emotional labor.
Yeah, definitely is.
But, you know, it's worth it.
I'm happy to put it in.
But it's just every time going into it, there's always a little bit of like,
what's the worst that can happen?
Right, right, right.
Me trying to prepare myself for worst-case scenario.
Every time it gets worse than you think it might, you're pleasantly surprised.
It always goes better than I think it will.
Because I always am trying to prepare for like, what's the worst that can happen?
I mean, and usually the worst case scenario is someone would just leave the room.
Right.
Which rarely even happens.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The worst case scenario is if her parents get like furious and...
Yeah, which I think, I know her parents and i'm kind of ready to go
toe-to-toe with them anyway so like let's do this um after did you all see the ami screening last
week were y'all there they you know the whole theme of this past summer the media program is
reproductive health so they made these awesome fucking short films about reproductive health
in the region just interviewing all kinds of women and men mostly young young people and um it made me want to run for school board again
and i have to decide this month so i'm just about to flip a coin or something i need to look it up
it's i know it's august i think it's like the middle of august here's what you need to do
august 15th you not you don't need to flip a coin you need to do some tarot i need to spread the
tarot spread the tarot out i know it what's going to tell me to do it.
I think I figured out at this point
how to read them at least.
Oh, after one go around, you're an expert now, huh?
Just put a sign out
for tarot readings available
here. Yeah, yeah, I picked it. I'm a fast learner.
I'm a fast learner.
Sensire.
It's across your front porch. Y'all use a
Matania deck?
I don't remember the deck'all use a Matania deck? No.
I don't remember the deck that she had.
Matania?
A Montania deck.
Like Joe Mantania?
Like the actor?
Like the football player?
Oh, is he a football player?
Joe Mantania?
Mantania, whatever.
Oh, yeah.
Johnny Football.
No.
No, all right.
Joe Montana.
The common thread between all three
of the reproductive health videos was that
everyone said they learned about sex on the school bus.
Really?
That makes sense.
It came up in all the films.
That's where I learned about smoking weed.
That's where I learned about
fingering.
The school bus and the church bus.
No, totally, it is.
And it made me really want to do a sexy sex ed on a school bus.
Oh, that'd be cool.
Wouldn't it?
Like a class on a school bus.
Yeah, like on the way to somewhere, just do sex ed on the school bus.
You know how they have those party buses?
You do that, but with like reproductive health bus.
Reproductive health party bus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was on Season of the Bitch last week.
Oh, I was going to tell you. I was going to say, good job. We enjoyed your...
Did you listen?
I did listen.
Oh, good.
And it was kind of coincidental because y'all were talking about like your first encounter with somebody teaching you about sex.
And I had told Caroline this story when I did the episode last week
that the very first time anybody told me about sex was my dad.
And the way he did it was so bizarre.
And I see the point he was trying to make.
And it was actually a pretty effective point, the way he illustrated it.
But what he did was, I remember we were sitting at my kitchen
table and there was a bowl of fruit in front of us
and he took
a pear or something out of it an apple I don't remember
what it was and he was like this is you right now
and then he like maybe
hit it against the table a few times gave it a few
bruises or something and he was like this is
you after you've had sex
no way I guarantee it
I swear to God.
And that's the whole sort of idea behind virginity and the whole Christian period.
Damaged goods.
Yeah, damaged goods.
Bruised up.
Oh my God.
Right?
I don't know if that's worse or if he should have just handed you the fruit bowl and been
like, hey, buddy, go get all you want.
I don't know which is worse.
He takes a donut and puts a banana in the middle of it.
Oh my God. Here's what sex looks
like in real life. Well, I thought it was
interesting. Yeah, we were talking about that
on that Season of the Bitch episode. I was like,
what is interesting about it to
me is the implication that you're
a holistically different human being
after you have sex. That
you are not the same
person you were before. The only difference is you have sex that like that you are not the same person you were before the only difference is
you have hpv now you're really the same person you are going in you just gotta
hpv and a lot more anxiety yeah
oh my god yeah every almost everyone has a really bizarre story about the first time i learned about
sex which is it's you know and if my dad's listening not knocking it i understand what
you're getting yeah but you know it's it's 1990 it took you about a decade to appreciate that
exactly yeah it took me exactly i imagine you just sweating after like pretty really bad sex
looking in the mirror dad was fucking right
god damn it i'll never forget i got my first exposure lesson wise was from like older boys
you know what i mean they were like talking about like jacking off and they were selling it like it
was like a brand new card that everybody's born with that you just got to figure out how to tap into it.
It's just like, man, you just keep doing it till you come.
And I was like, I can remember me and my cousin Adam were sitting there and he looked at me.
He's like, like, come here.
You're transported.
Till you go where?
Till you go where?
Oh my God.
I got in trouble in sixth grade because a boy said he had a hard-on for a girl and I
didn't know what he meant.
And I repeated it in class and I got fucking, my recess took away.
I've got a hard-on.
I didn't say, I said, he has a hard-on.
And I had no idea what it meant.
And it was sixth grade and my teacher took my recess and never told me what
it meant and i you know even week months probably a year after that still didn't know why i was
punished didn't know like we we missed so many learning opportunities with people and the
thing about sex is that we all especially now you know arguably we have the internet so we have
access to all endless information if we want to know anything we just google it but not sex because almost any sex question or any almost any body question i mean
you two have been i'm sure deep in uh what is it md web md web md you two probably have seen the
depths of web md we don't even want to speak of but googling shit like that almost never takes
you to accurate information and you almost always get
porn yeah like if you google i could not have gotten this question so innocent do i have to
shower before sex i think i've told y'all about yeah right right you're gonna get porn it's like
the most innocent question you you have had a field day with a young tom sexton i i can remember
asking him and mind you my sex ed was taught by the choir director
at First Baptist Church,
who made me believe that.
You see, there's altos and sopranos,
tenors, second tenors.
That's euphemisms for tops and bottoms.
Oh, my God.
But they made me believe that, like,
here's a little proper sex ed term, mutual masturbation.
Carried the same STD risk as just like fucking bareback in a fucking.
What?
Mutual masturbation.
How do they expect kids to just like learn themselves?
It's just all of it's so bizarre.
I mean, on season of the B, they were like, why do you think we're so backwards we've like fucked ourselves so badly and it's just uh it's kind
of hard to understand i think religion has to have a part in it and then they talked about a lot which
you know is true about it's like who does it serve it's a lot of advertising they need us to be
just emotionally cripple and and unsatisfied holy in our lives to sell a shit and alienated yeah
and sex has such a big part of the part is such a big part i mean like they even mentioned you
know how powerful organizing became in the 60s when sex was really like a part of movement and
all this shit yeah yeah yeah pretty pretty crazy shit yeah um so So check that out
What's the name of that episode?
Sex and Sex Ed I think
That's on Season of Bitch
You can probably find that at your nearest podcast dealer
We're all fine podcasters so
Right
We'll see if I get what's coming to me tomorrow
After Sex Ed at Girls Rock Camp.
Do keep us informed.
Parents are going to take me out.
If I come up missing.
We got your back.
We'll find them.
At least find your body and make sure that nobody's walking on, trying to walk over your
fresh face.
Find your ghost.
Yeah, don't come ghost hunting my grave, you sons of bitches.
I don't, I wouldn't do that.
You know me.
I've sworn it off since then.
I had a very bad year after that.
Did you?
Yeah, it was weird.
I think me and Johnny have an understanding now.
Shook off the booger, haven't you?
I'm always holding it down for you both
because I'm immune to the ghosts
because I don't believe in them.
They know to stay away from me.
He says that.
Maybe I should just tell...
Let's come up here
rattling some fucking sheet metal
at two in the morning
making noises
and see what he does.
Well, then you wouldn't be ghosts.
You'd be you.
Maybe I should just tell
the girls tomorrow
if they don't believe in STDs
they won't come for them.
Just don't believe in it.
Yeah, just don't believe in it.
Pretend like they don't exist
That's what I've been doing for years
Alright on that note
Let's cut this one off
Thanks for listening everybody
Adios
See you later
See ya
