I think it's so funny when you get Christmas cards and all of these people write their children's accomplishments on the back. I don't love them. A southern girl and a boy mom who's trying to navigate life while staying true to her roots. I am a functioning, non functioning human being right now. Join Lindsay each week as she swears to spill the tea, the whole tea, and nothing but the tea. That is the tea. Here's Lindsay. Good morning, and welcome back to another episode of the Southern Tea. Good morning, Kristen. Good morning, Lindsay Chrisley. Oh, ma'am. I just got finished taking an everything shower, and it feels so good. Specifically, when you get to take an everything shower and you just come back from the airport, I have never felt so disgusted in my life than being on aircraft. I'm about to be really foul for a second here. So I I'm about to be foul for, like, a multitude of reasons. So I was told that it's, like, a thing there you do not wear, never f**king fails. If y'all hear my dogs, super, super sorry. Someone had the audacity to walk past my house. Anyway, I was told that it's a thing for airplanes where you're not supposed to wear shorts on airplanes, but I didn't know this till after this one time I wore shorts on the airplane. And I got up off the seat, and I had welts all over the back of my legs and was convinced that I either was having some crazy type of allergic reaction or I had somehow gotten bit by some random type of bugs. So the way I scrubbed myself literally took Clorox wipes to my skin, which 10 out of 10 do not recommend. Do not listen to me. It's not safe, but I was paranoid. Thankfully, no bugs. I learned about the shorts rule after the fact. However see a shorts rule. You do not wear shorts so that the back of your legs do not touch the seat evidently. Okay. Well, number one, you are a certified psychopath if you ever get on an aircraft wearing shorts, period. What do you mean? Like, tell me why? Because I'm hot on airplanes. Oh, no, ma'am. No. I put that fan, like, on full blast as much as it can possibly go. One thing that always, like, a legging and sweat suit situation when traveling. Always. I just get so hot on airplanes, but, also, I have this thing where I tell Corey, like, don't touch me because I have airplane, the p word we don't like. Okay. Well, I also I also wear a hoodie every single time. So when I get on, I can put the hood over my head so my face is not touching the seat when I go to sleep. Oh, see, I do you when you're on the airplane seat, does it, like, the head thing move, like, where the it the flaps come out and you can, like, have the flap up so it holds your head in place so you're do do you do that? Or Yeah. But either my head's too small or I don't know how to use the flaps. Wait. I didn't know for the longest longest time, and I saw someone else doing it because I was like, my neck is killing me, but I saw somebody else do it. And I was like, oh, okay. Like, this is fine. Did it myself. And I was like, this is literally genius because those neck neck pillow s**ts, first of all, I don't have a neck. Like, no matter how thin I've ever been, the neck is not necking. Like, my traps are huge, and just the neck is not a thing. So trying to put a neck pillow on, I'm suffocating. Like, it's it's not actually doing anything for me. Like, Corey bought one when we went, I think, to Arizona, and I was like, why would you do that? He fell asleep and he was comfortable. And me, I look like the abominable snowman. Oh my god. Okay. So I also have multiple different neck pillows that I've purchased and, like, these sets that have, like, the neck pillow, the blanket, like, everything that you would need to be a prepared traveler, except I forget that I have them until I get to the airport and realize I left it at home. Mhmm. That's how you develop the collection. I have the same specifically airport blankets, but I'm literally no joke. I'm gonna turn my camera on just for this for you. What is that? That's literally a travel blanket that I bought, shoved in my bag, and then proceeded to buy another one on the way home, and I never even opened this. Oh, I see. I wish if I would have had a travel blanket and a neck brace or whatever, not a neck brace. If I would have had one of those today, I would have got the most glorious sleep. Actually, somebody text me and was like, how was your flight? And I was like, I can't confirm that it was bad or deny that it was bad or if it was good because I turned my phone off before takeoff, and I was asleep before the wheels went up, and I was still sleeping when the wheels went down. My that's, like, the best, though. My parents used to joke around with me, forever. And, honestly, my mom still does because there was this one time where I passed out on the plane before we had taken off, and we had gotten delayed. And I, like, fell asleep hardcore the entire trip. We were going to Disney, I think. And I woke up when we had already landed, and we're just, like, taxiing to, like, the thing. And I looked at my dad, and I was like, we still haven't left yet. Like, you dumb b***h. They're like, you slept the entire time. I'm I'm truly the queen. I have to sleep on planes. I used to get so motion sick on planes, and I would be that chick that was, like, barfing into the barf bag. Thankfully, that doesn't happen to me anymore, but I do get so queasy if I don't just, like, rest. Oh my god. So the way that we woke up this morning, and when I say we, Cale, Alessandra, and I all getting into the car service at 03:30AM, the way I think that all of us wanted to take a dirt nap, it's actually so funny because when I told Cale that she was getting in the car with y'all, I think it was yesterday, maybe two days ago. I don't know. I told her I was she was getting in the car with y'all because you guys were leaving at six, and she was leaving at 06:30. And we were not getting two separate cars for just a thirty minute difference. She was going to the airport with you guys, which meant you were leaving at 03:30. And she's like, 03:30 in the morning? And I was like, yes. And I went to bed, and y'all were at your event. And I and that was, like, midnight ish my time. And I woke up, and y'all were headed to the airport. Oh, okay. Well, we also all were in Cale's room trying to decide if it was a good idea for us to go to sleep or if we were just gonna be troopers and, like, troop it out. None of us are prepared to be troopers. Not one single one of us. But the way that I thought I was going to oversleep and they were gonna be so pissed at me because I also slept when we got to Los Angeles. I went to bed, like, at a decent time, slept until, like, 09:30. My fitting for my dress and shoes and, like, all of that stuff wasn't until ten. The way they were in a group chat at 5AM, five AM LA time, and we're up dicking around. When I woke up and saw everything that was going on in the group chat, I was like, wow. They've just had a whole f**king day. Yeah. I the the jet lag for me is real in LA. Like, it the older that I get, the faster that it hits, and it's not a good time. It's really not a good time. I cannot wait to share photos of our little, I would say, twenty four hour trip, truly, but it probably was one of the funniest trips that we have been on just, like, as a collective. It was just such a good time, but so exhausting at the same time. Also, I want to address because a lot of people have sent me messages saying, how are you doing all of this travel and Will's job also travels? Like, where is Jackson? Number one, we try our hardest to travel on the days that we already don't have him. So I'll have a five day stretch or we'll have a five day stretch. We try to do that. I'm a little bit better at executing that than he is. Kristen keeps my calendar, so I think you can speak to that. No. I mean, his he does not do a good job of entering into the calendar. Willard, I'm coming for you. In in fact, I think he's only ever entered something into the calendar one time. But I try to make sure that our things reflect in his calendar all the time. As as soon as we find out about them, I try to put them in. Even if I don't know times, I try to enter something and then have it reflect over there so that he knows, like, something is in the works if even if we don't know exact times. I just I'm like, people don't understand that we are in a co parenting situation. Like, we do not live under the same roof. And no matter what, if I am traveling or if I am not traveling, I'm still not having him those days. You know, I see a lot of criticism. I think maybe because I work specifically with you and Kale who do actively co parent, like, all the time, and you're not with your kids all of the time because you can't be because, obviously, you have to share them. The amount of hate that I see, like, where are your kids at? What the f**k does that even mean when if if you know, you know, number one. And number two, like, I don't see that asked of men who are traveling for business the way that I see it asked of women who are traveling for business. It's just so insane to me some of the opinions that people have, and I don't I don't care. It's just something that I've seen a lot, and everybody can have their own opinions and their own thoughts, like, whatever. But I think people also don't understand that we are running a business. And because our business appears to be fun for everyone else, it's still business. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of there's there's definitely fun times. There's definitely times where you're trying to make things fun that aren't necessarily fun, and then there's actual times that absolutely suck. So I'm glad that they don't they don't see that side, and we're you know, everyone's out here doing a really good job entertaining everybody. I also want to say that I had promised Will that I was gonna come and pick up Oliver after I got off of my recording because I said, sir, like, I was at a red carpet event last night, came back to the hotel. We thought we were TikTok stars, and we were just making all these TikToks. And we were cackling in the room because Kale was like, oh, if people ask, like, what we did, oh, we just made TikToks all day. Like But the way that I told him, I I maybe spoke too soon and said I was coming to get Oliver too early of a time. But I said, I am immediately getting off of that plane and going home, taking an everything shower, getting on my robe, and jumping onto a recording, and then I'll come and get Oliver. Ma'am, the way that I'm sitting on my bed right now in my robe with a hair mask on, And as soon as this is over, I'm about to turn on tell me lies and put my phone in do not disturb. He's keeping Oliver for the night. Sorry, Will. I can't even I have become obsessed with Tell Me Lies. Have you watched it? I have not watched it yet. Everybody from Coffee Convos has been saying to watch it. I need to watch it. I just have not had much TV time, but I want to. Okay. So I have seen a lot of talk about Tell Me Lies. Number one in my DMs, but number two in the Coffee Convos Facebook group. And they're like, well, since Lindsay runs fake book clubs, she needs to watch Tell Me Lies. And since Kale actually reads, then she needs to read the book. And then they do, like, a mashup of the differences, and similarities from the book and the series. I can tell you that it is a very, very good show. It was a little hard. For me, it's always hard for, like, a first episode. You have to catch me in, like, the first five minutes or I lose interest. I had to go back and watch it for, like, a second time because I fell asleep. I also don't know if it's a good idea for me to be extremely exhausted and try to watch a series in my bed. Absolutely not. It's actually so funny that you say that because I as a kid, like, when I was way, way young before I moved to Pennsylvania, my parents had a TV in my room, and they would play, like, movies and stuff. Then we moved to Pennsylvania. They f**king say no TV. Literally did not have a TV until I bought my own TV for my eighteenth birthday gift to myself, and I put that s**t in my room. And the way that I would watch it, like, all the time, and I would fall asleep to it and all the things. Now that I'm, like, an adultier adult, I have a fireplace that plays on the TV and crackles and has the sounds of thunderstorms to put me to sleep. Like, there's no TV actually being watched. It's because I'm looking at the back of my eyelids at all times. It plays I have it in the living room. Like, if I'm working out in my living room, room, if I don't I'm not on recordings or calls or anything like that, and it's just, like, admin stuff, I'll take my computer to my living room to get just, like, more comfortable. And I'll go work out there, and I put that on. Like, that's, like, my background. Instead of TV, I put the fireplace on that's, you know, whatever. And then I do the same thing in the bedroom. And then I heard the other day, it was so funny. I come out of my office, and I hear what sounds like something is ablaze in my house. It's loud. And I was like, oh my god. Like, what is going on? And, no, it was just my mom playing the same one downstairs on the downstairs TV. Wait. If I was a person that was trying to get this, like everybody else who's listening to this that wants to do this as well, Where do I find that on TVs? Okay. So I have it on my Samsungs. I don't know if it's on everybody's, but there's, like, a thing on Samsungs where it's just TV. I wanna say it might be Pluto that has, like, regular TV. Maybe not. I'm not entirely sure. But, like, if you, like, just turn your TV on and you don't have cable and TV is playing, all I did was press guide. And when I don't even know how I stumbled upon this outside of I wanted to see how far down the channels could go and, like, what they were. And went all the way down past the music stations, and all of a sudden, it's talking about backgrounds and, like, scenic bridge and crackling fire with holiday sounds. And I was like, what the hell is that? So I started playing with them, and I found it. And I'm like, if they ever take this off the way that I will f**king riot Oh my god. I will not be okay.

I cannot get good sleep without a sound machine to the point that I order these things off of Amazon, and I travel with them places. I've never had a sound machine in my freaking life, but I guess now I would maybe say I use one because it's the fire with the crackling. Like, there have been times in the morning that Will will call to try to get in touch with Jackson on a weekend, and Jackson's made his way into my bedroom. He's fallen asleep in my bed. I'm still way passed out, and I answer the phone, and I'm like, what? And he's like, what is all of that noise, sir? Specifically, a ceiling fan, a large Dyson fan, a box fan, and also a sound machine. But why is there business like that? You're going to bed in a tornado. Oh, 100%. If there was a tornado that ever came through here, I'd be absolutely screwed. I would I would hear nothing. No. Literally. Like Two things. I need to know who lets your kids have TVs in bedrooms because I was totally against that, was not allowing it until Jackson turned 18. I was like, we're doing no entertainment in a bedroom. Then Will did it. I think I talked about this on coffee combos. Will did it. So then I was like like, obviously, I have to do it because if he has a TV over there, then he needs to have a TV over here. I also did not have a TV in my bedroom for three years when I lived in my old house. Now all I do is lay on this bed and watch TV or pretend like I'm watching TV. It's the most glorious thing in the world to have a TV in your bedroom. Why was I doing that? I feel like I remember you trying to defend yourself as to why you didn't have one in your bedroom for the longest time, And you would say, like, a variety of reasons over on coffee combos. And I remember I would just look at you, and I'd be like, you don't know what you're missing out on. Like, I don't act actually really ever get to lay in bed and watch TV. I wish I did, but truly don't know what I would have done, like, when I had COVID and isolated in my bedroom for fifteen days. I don't know what I would have done without the TV. So then it started making me think back to my childhood and if I had a TV in my room, and I'm like, let me take a little trip down memory lane. So Todd had gone and purchased me, like, this cute little white tiny tube TV. I mean, I don't even know how many inches, but I feel like I would have to move that TV around my bedroom and put it on my dresser and lay on my bed so I would be close enough to be able to see it. So I don't know if I was neglected and actually needed glasses or if I was just lazy as hell. But I used to sneak with that tube TV. Like, we had TV hours that we were allowed to, like, watch, and I would sneak at night and turn that TV on and turn it down to, like, the lowest sound that I possibly could, like, still hear, and my ear would be so close to the TV. And I would watch do you remember the show Wonder Years? No. I think that was, like I don't think that was big when I was, like, young. Okay. Well, it probably wasn't big when I was young either, but I used to watch, like, 09/00/2021 o and, like, all these shows with my parents because they were so young whenever they had me. Mhmm. So I just love to watch shows with people, like, having relationships and making out and, like, just doing sketchy s**t. Okay. So I would sneak at night. Like, once I knew they were in bed, I would tune in to Wonder Ears. So because I wasn't allowed to have the TV, like, when we moved to Pennsylvania, my house was like I can't even describe to you what style that house was because it wasn't like a split level. It wasn't like a bilevel. I'd I can't explain it. So all of the bedrooms were on what we will consider the Third Floor, I guess. Because when you walked into my house, you could go straight through to, like, my family room, like, dining room family room situation, or you could go up a short set of steps that would be, like, a formal living room, kitchen, and then up another set of steps was, like, the bedrooms. So my parents were up there, and I would sneak down to our family room, like, late at night, and I would lay on the floor. And I would turn on TV and, like, bring it down, like, as low as as low as possible. And, like, I don't know if you've seen those things on TikTok where they start playing, like, the random, like, this is the soundtrack of the eighties, and, like, they start blasting off sounds. The way that that would go loud as f**k, and I would have fallen asleep. And I wake up to that in sheer panic because I'm like, oh, like, my parents are absolutely aware that I've been down here. Like, that just gave me away, and I didn't even get to watch anything good. Like, I used to sneak watch a baby story on TLC because I used to be Same. Wanted to be an OB GYN really bad. So I would, like, sneak watch that. But, like, typical TV shows that were going on because, like, again, I was, like, a family room kid, living room kid, whatever they call us. All like, my parents were there, and, like, I'd be there whether I was reading or watching TV with them or whatever. Like, my dad's shows were Walker, Texas Ranger, JAG, NCIS, Desperate Housewives, like, when it was, like, popular. Those types of shows. That's, like, what Ma'am, the way that the way that I would sneak, like, in high school and watch sex talks with Sue Johansson. Oh my god. Same. I did do that. And I'm like, how am I learning this from a 90 year old? I don't know why I was watching it, but it was just so intriguing. I guess it was, like, the dildo that she would, like, sling around. Talking about a g spot, and I had no idea what she was even talking about. And I'm like, wait. What's a vagina? You're like, do I have one? Who's that? Oh, I also have another follow-up, but it's not really a follow-up. I have gotten so many questions about the Post it notes that were found in my house when I came back from somewhere. I don't at this point, where was it? Where? Was it Columbus? It was either Columbus or New York City. Columbus, New York, Texas. Can't be sure. Cannot be sure, but I actually have no follow-up. And it sometimes does freak me out a little bit, but at the same time, nothing else has happened. So I don't know that I should be concerned at this point. I mean, the entire situation is concerning, and I don't wanna downplay that to be like, okay. Well, she doesn't give a f**k about anything. I do. But if I think about it too hard, I get in my head, and then I start thinking of all of the theories that it could possibly be. So I just nothing has happened, so I just, like, don't think about it. I people did ask a lot about that. I was definitely freaked the hell out for, like, a while. Truly, I think I forgot about it or just, like, disassociated. I'm not really sure. As far as, like, being concerned, I feel like, you know, there's there's measures that can be taken to, like, beef up security for sure. And let's just pray that it never happens again. I'm definitely praying that it never happens again so much so that I, like, hid all of my Post it notes in my house. You're like, if someone gets in here and thinks this is a joke. And then what made me even feel more crazy was when I was trying to investigate the situation of what possibly could happen. I'm asking Jackson questions like, hey. Do you know, like, where those, like, sticky things are that I write on sometimes? And he was like, what are you talking about? You're like, well, I can't say Post it note. Exactly. And so I'm, like, asking him all of these questions because I'm thinking to myself, well, maybe he did it when we were at home, and then he was, like, making a path to somewhere or something. And he was playing around, so I tried to investigate that situation. And he was like, I don't even know what those are. Meanwhile, you look like the psychopath. One thousand percent look like the psychopath. So, also need to tell you that I went and colored my hair dark and have a hair appointment coming up in maybe, like, a week or something. I can't remember how long it is, but, definitely just, like, not the vibes for me. You don't like it? No. Are you serious? I just feel like I don't know. I've been watching all these TikToks, and I feel like it's really gotten into my head about blonde girls going brunette and how it's a good idea and it's so healthy and blah blah blah. And then all of these, like, horror stories of these girls being like, I can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror because I just feel like I'm washed out. I'm not used to it. I actually think that you look more washed out when you're, like, very, very blonde when you don't have makeup on, more so than, like, the natural look that I'm trying to go for. Mhmm. But I'm just not used to seeing myself like this, and so it's very bothersome to me. Okay. So you don't necessarily not like it. You're just not used to it or don't know if you like it yet. Yeah. But then me being crazy and wanting an immediate response to said possibly not liking it is, well, just go and f**k up the whole process and just put blonde back in it. Well, to help your decision, your appointment's on Thursday. It's Oh, right. What? Yeah. You have an appointment on Thursday. Thursday this week? Yeah. The twenty first. Oh. I'm looking at your calendar as we speak, and it says color retouch, resow extensions, blowout style after color. Which I no longer have. So I no longer have set extensions. That appointment just sounds like a disaster. Mhmm. We'll we'll have to clarify set appointment to make sure that that's actually supposed to be occurring. No. It definitely needs to be occurring because I definitely need to be putting blonde back in my hair. Lindsay, don't f**k up the process. Trust the process, then decide if you hate it, then f**k it up. I just need anybody who's listening to this. If you've ever gone through this process, What is, like, a normal amount of time for you to not like it and then to make the change back? I someone asked me this not that long ago about my hair because everyone forgets that I was blonde. Like, not white blonde by any means, but I was blonder at one point. I've been dark for so long. I've never looked back. In fact, I keep going darker every time I go. I literally look at my hairstylist, Zach, and I'm like, darker. Darker. At some point, it'll be black. But, also, when you change your hair color, I feel like you have to change literally everything. Like, the shades of clothes that you wear, it's like a big investment. It's way more than just changing your hair color. Like, your clothes look like s**t. You need to go and get a new shade of makeup. Like, your eyeshadow no longer goes with your hair color. Like, how do you fix all of that? That just seems like a lot of extremes that I don't wanna be involved in. I don't know because I went so like, I really just took it to the extreme, as far as changing my hair shades because it was it's so easy to go dark when you have light hair. Right? It's like the opposite problem when you go back. But I definitely did change some things because my hair has, like, a purple tone to it, like a very deep purple, and I don't wanna look like a bruise. So I definitely keep that in mind when I'm, like, wearing stuff. I have to make sure that I'm wearing the correct shade of, like, like, eggplant colored tops look good on me. But if it goes towards more of, like, a, like, rusty color, it's okay. But, like, if it's a weird in between, I'm like, ugh. My hair is clashing with my sleeve. What I feel like. I feel like I bought all my clothes for blonde Lindsay, and now I'm just not gonna act as freaking brunette Lindsay. Yeah. I don't I that's in fact true. Like, I don't know who she is. I will tell you she looked stunning. Whoever she was looked stunning at in your, red carpet. Whoever who was? Whoever that girl was because we don't know her. It's a version of me that we don't know. That was a Patricia. That was that was Britney. If you have kids, I definitely do not need to tell you how insanely stressful mealtime can be. I am not a parent yet, but I have lots of friends with kids. I have nieces and nephews, and I see and feel the struggle.

Moving on from that, I saw this article come up on NBC News, and, honestly, it makes me terrified. It says death of woman found after hiking date with Phoenix Officer ruled as an accident. When I first saw this come up, it was, like, in the very beginning stages where they thought that she was possibly offed by this man. Okay. It says that she was found off of an Arizona trail during a hike with an off duty Phoenix Police Officer, but it was ruled accidental. The primary cause of death was determined to be environmental heat exposure. It says that she was found dead on a trail near Camelback Mountain, and the police said that she had been hiking with one of their off duty officers when she turned back at the halfway point. It was a hundred and four degrees at the time. She turned back because of the heat, and friends told the news station that she had traveled to Arizona to meet up with the officer after they had only connected through Instagram. So, like, could you imagine being one of this, like, this woman's, like, girlfriends and knowing that she had only met this man off of Instagram and then she just dies on a walking trail? One, immediately suspect. Two, I would never let one of my friends go to Arizona to hike for any reason. That's just seems mean. It's hot as f**k there, number one. Also, to meet up with a guy that she didn't know to hike, that sounds like the plot of every lifetime horror movie that I've seen. I just feel like I mean, I love the idea of doing, like, outdoor activities on a date that aren't super costly. Actually, I was having a conversation with one of my friends, and she was like, I prefer to do, like, coffee shop dates and stuff like that because there is an expiration on time with that, but also there's not, like, a huge investment. So you don't have to feel bad if you don't like the person. But traveling to another state, going on a hiking trail with someone that you just met off of Instagram does not sound safe. No. It sounds terrible. But then in this article, it says that the woman's mother said that the death does not make sense, that her daughter was an Instagram person. She posted everything, thousands of photos per day, which if you're posting on Instagram thousands of photos per day, what the f**k? Okay. Here's the thing. When she turned back around at the halfway point, did the person she was going to meet up with go with her? Or, like, I don't understand. Did he leave her there? It doesn't say, but that's also weird to me. It says that in the quote from her mom that there's not one picture of her going up the mountain or even being in Arizona and that none of it makes sense. I'm, like, trying to figure out all of this in my head because I had that same question. I'm like, okay. If I had traveled to the state of Arizona or anywhere outside of my home state to go on a date with someone that I met off of Instagram, if we went on a hiking trail, which I just don't think is, like, safe for necessarily a first date, if we did that and they did not turn around with me knowing that I was getting overheated, the way I would be so pissed, that's that's suspect in itself. But the fact that she did not tell one person that she was going to another state to meet a guy that she did not even know is also extremely suspect. I just I don't know. Something is weird. Like, I don't I don't think that's very safe dating practices, and that's why I just with these dating apps and people meeting other people online and doing all of this kind of travel to meet up, I don't like it. I yeah. I mean, I get it. Right? Like, people are trying to meet people. I totally understand that, but, like, it's just so scary. Do you ever say to yourself when you find out that, like, your friends are going on all these, like, hinge dates or whatever, Like, why can't you just meet someone in person? Like, obviously, I understand the Internet is a thing now, and there's all these dating apps, and it supposedly makes it easier for you to be able to connect with, like, people. Whatever. I understand all of that. But as a 35 year old woman, I would never feel comfortable enough to put all of my information out there on a freaking dating app for someone to, like, have that type of insight into my life. I know people who put pictures of their children on dating apps. That, I try not to pass judgment, but that makes me so nervous, especially with just the things that we know about the dark web, and that's only probably skimming the surface about what's actually occurring. It's so easy to find some there's literally a person on TikTok that does this thing where she's like, it's like, I bet you can't find me from this photo, and she finds you. Wait. What? Oh, yeah. I have to see if I could find her information, but she literally will take a freaking picture and be like, oh, well, I saw I I saw the corner of this little green hat in this in in the glass of this, so I searched until I found this person on the on your Facebook profile. And then or for this person's Facebook profile. And then I went through their mutual friends, and then I saw that this this corner of the house lines up with this corner when I Zillow'd it and zoomed in on Google Maps. And I'm like, what? Like, it's terrifying. The fact that there are some people out there that's like that, though, like, that freaks me the hell out. The the fact that people were able to find out where my new house was before I ever even closed on it and went and posted the address all online, were able to look at, like, the layout of my house. If I really start thinking about that kind of stuff, it freaks me the hell out. Yeah. It's it's just a lot. You know who I think about? Elizabeth Smart. Mhmm. Yeah. And, like, how people can just investigate so much, and you don't even know the depths of things that people will go to. Like, I would like that person as, like, a friend, but not a foe. Oh my god. Could you imagine? That would be great to have that person as part of a friend group. Yeah. I do feel like there is an FBI CIA agent as a part of all friend groups. Like, every friend group has a person that is like that. When I had more time, I used to be that friend. Now I just use investigative software. Can you expand? Now I just have memberships to some things that I can easily just type a freaking name into, and I can find every alias you've ever had, every address you've lived at, you and your family, any known associates, phone numbers, emails you've used, all the way back to, like, AIM. Wait. What? Oh my god. Yeah. Well, I've never told me this. And have you done this to people that, like, I've associated myself with? Not anyone you've associated with, but there's definitely people that I've done it with, like, in other situations. If a name is, like, ringing a bell, if I'm trying to figure out what your criminal record looks like, yeah, I've done it. What in the world? I'll I'll share more offline. Wait. I'm not incriminating myself and no s**t. Oh my god. Okay. So I also saw this on Yahoo News when I was the time that I was not sleeping when I was in Los Angeles. It says the it it's absolutely horrible. A seven year old boy was hospitalized after being hanged in school bathroom by a bully. Okay. That literally makes me wanna vomit hearing that. Like, that's very, very disturbing. I wanna get into the, like, entirety of the situation. Trigger warning mentions of harmful activity involving children. Fast forward roughly five ish minutes, give or take a little bit to get past this segment if that's not something that you can stomach. So it says a seven year old boy was taken to the hospital with traumatizing injuries after reportedly being hung by his neck by an older boy in a school bathroom in Maryland. The parents of the second grader have demanded answers from the school, dismissing suggestions that the incident at this elementary school was a result of horseplay. In a quote, it says, if you look at my son, he has marks under his eyes. He still has bruises on his neck from being choked. The boy's mother was asked to remain anonymous. He was traumatized, and it's going to take time. This is not something that he's just going to get over overnight. From a press statement from the school principal, she said, this afternoon, two of our students were reportedly horse playing in a school bathroom when one student's jacket got caught on a stall door hook. The student was not able to free themselves, and the other student involved was also not able to help them. This student left the bathroom to seek help from staff and reported the incident to administrators. Administrators responded and were able to help the boy, but staff called 911 for additional precautionary medical support. Medical records shared stated that among his injuries, the younger boy had sustained a neck contusion which caught was caused by blunt trauma to his neck. Despite the statement that was put out by the school, the parents have questioned what went on during the incident. It has been suggested that the seven year old boy was being bullied by the older boy who was in fourth grade. In a quote, it says, this does not make sense to me. If you're horse playing, how do you get caught on a hook? We need answers. I want answers, and we will not stop until we get answers. Their son will not be returning to the school. An additional statement put out by the school Sunday denied all online speculation that there had been a cover up of this incident.

Accidents happen, so it's good to know with Irish Life Health, we're there for stitches, burns, breaks, and more with express care clinics open seven days a week. A better life with Irish Life Health. Irish Life Health deck is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Service provided by Avidea Diagnostics Ireland Limited, available to ages one plus. Opening hours vary. Terms and conditions apply. I have so many questions, first of all. If if we're referring to this was in a bathroom. Correct? Yes. If we're referring to hooks that are on the backs of the doors, there's no I mean, without obviously like, a seven year old is not tall enough to get caught on a hook. They're in air. Like, they're at the top of the doors in, like, stalls. So what the f**k are you talking about? And also marks under the eyes, that's not consistent with horseplay in my opinion. Like Oh, that's a beat down. I have received calls from the school when Jackson was in, like, kindergarten and first grade where he and friends would go into the bathroom, and they would see other people from other classes, and they would do horseplay activity where it was like somebody was squirting a massive amount of soap, like, on the floor Yeah. To try to get people to slip or wetting paper towels and, like, throwing them at each other in the bathroom. Yeah. That to me, still not acceptable, still not appropriate bathroom behavior. However, that is horseplay. Someone being hung by their jacket on a hook in the bathroom. Number one, in a boys' bathroom, I'm just concerned why they have hooks on the back of the stalls, and why would they not be required to take off, like, extra coats and s**t like that before they ever go to the bathroom. That's also true. I'm just trying to think of, like, maybe it was, like, an older bathroom that you know how, like, the older bathrooms, I feel, like, have those? Yeah. But I just don't think that that needs to be in a child's bathroom. Like, nobody's going in there with, like, purses or stuff like that. You know? I'm, like, trying to like, it this is not computing in my head how any logical adult would ever think that this story adds up. Also, I've never heard of fourth graders being in bathrooms with seven year olds. We're talking first graders. At Jackson School, all the hallways are separated by grade, and I know that that's not the case for every school because every school is just, like, not set up like that. But that is something that made me feel so comfortable when I put him in the public school system was that the school that he goes to, every grade has their own hall with their own bathroom. So if someone's horse playing in a bathroom, then they're horse playing with somebody that is their same age. I'm trying to think. Like, I get so f**ked up by the kids' grades these days because I was six and I was in second grade. So, like, a fourth grader is 10 or nine. Right. So I'm just, like, I'm trying to think how my elementary school was. I feel like I think that there was, like, a bathroom per hallway if I am remembering correctly. I never saw kids when I was in elementary school, I never saw kids outside of my grade in the bathroom that I was in ever. Yeah. Feel like that might be an issue here that the kids by the grades were not separated. Even even down to, like, after school program, I know they separate kids by grades for that as well, and there's a reason why they're separating those children. And I also hate in the public school system, and I do this was a public school. I absolutely hate their definition of bullying. From what I have been told, bullying has to be a targeted situation that is repeated from one student to the other student. So let's say somebody said something to Jackson, and he felt like that was a bullying thing that they were doing to him. And then that same student came back and said something else. If it's not within the same range of the things that were said the first time, they don't deem it as bullying. See, I don't f**king like that. Trust me. I don't like that. I think I remember distinctly when we first moved to Pennsylvania. My brother was in eighth grade. I was in second grade, and he was getting bullied at school. And I remember my mom ended up having to physically go into the school and yell at people and amongst other things to get the situation rectified. And this was coming from a quote, unquote zero tolerance school for bullying. And it was like They always say that, though. They always say there is zero tolerance for bullying, but that's bulls**t. No. It's absolutely bulls**t. There's never, like, actual things that are done. I feel like the person who's being bullied is usually the one who suffers more. Like, from what I've seen personally, kids get their classes moved because they were bullied, not because they were the bullier. Okay. Well, I can just tell you from my situation, and I think I talked about it on the southern tea before, that there were two girls that were sending Jackson text messages outside of school and just saying, like, off the wall stuff. He would remove himself from the chat because he didn't know how to block, so he would just continue to remove himself from the group chat. And they would keep adding him back to, like, another chat. I called the school about it because these two girls shared one class with him, which was a math cla*s. Mhmm. But I could not request for those children to be moved based off of the evidence that I had. They moved my child who was the one who was being bullied. Yes. See, I just don't f**k with that. I feel like that should be part of the punishment that you get removed from class and all of those things. And I just, it I don't know. All I gotta say is if I have kids and there's any type of involvement, the other child's parent better know how to fight. Ma'am, the way that if this was my child, the way that I would be on the local news, f**k being anonymous. Like, I'm going to let everybody know exactly what happened, and I also don't believe I don't know how long it takes to get bruising to that degree. Like, how long the child would have had to have been hung on the hook. I don't know if that's, like, a fast thing, but blunt trauma to the neck. No. That's honestly and I hate to say this because it's obviously children involved, but it sounds like attempted murder. Like, that's what I'm hearing. I am just appalled, and I don't care what the school system says, the superintendent, whatever. I do believe it's a cover up because they do not like when you draw attention to things that are alarming because it's more things that they have to deal with. Which I get it. Like, I get the schools are inundated. Right? But, like, what is the solution? Like, truly, what is the solution if the schools can't handle it, can't deal with it? They're low staffed. Teachers are not paid enough. There's so many issues there. What is the solution to dealing with issues at school? Because I also have heard from people on the flip side who are willing to go to the school to work out said issues, and they're not given access to the other child's parents. Like, they're not supposed to know anything. It's kept so hush-hush, and it's like, well, then what is what's actually the solution? You actually don't get any information from the school. Like, if you get a call from the school, they will address that it was your child that was involved in something and another student. When you ask about the other student, they will not tell you what class that this took place in, what the student's name is, will not give you any of the parents' contacts, like, absolutely nothing. Your child has to be the one to come home to disclose that information for you to know who was involved in said incident. See, that's not how that s**t was back in the day. I distinct I distinctly remember multiple occasions. Not that I was a bad kid, but, like, dumb s**t would happen to me and or I would do dumb s**t. But I really remember I was in third grade, and I don't even know how this happened, but I was, like, in the bathroom. One thing led to another with this other girl. I ended up crawling under the bathroom stall. She grabbed my shoe and freaking threw it over the bathroom stall. The s**t landed right in the toilet, and they had to call my mom and tell her that, like, my shoe was in the toilet. And they distinctly were like, Kristen and Lily were doing whatever they were doing in the bathroom, and Kristen's shoe ended up in the toilet. Yeah. See, that's how it was whenever I was growing up too. It's like everybody's about to be called out, and they're absolutely going to provide other parents' information so that you guys can remedy whatever needs to be remedied outside of that school building. Do you remember the handbooks, like, the the handbooks we used to get with all of the kids' parents' numbers in it? Oh, like the school directory? Yes. Is that a thing anymore? Oh, well, it is, but it's per the cla*s. So you get your child's homeroom class directory, and you can choose to be published or not published in said directory. Oh, well, I mean, back then, there was no choice. Y'all y'all s**t was all getting put there. I mean, we didn't even have emails back then. It was just, like, landline. Literally the landline. And you knew if that s**t rang after school, run. One of my brothers, when he was in kindergarten, got a Swirly from, like, a fifth grader. And when I saw this article come up, I was like, what business did first of all, where did Swirlies even, like, start? Like, who came up with that? Listen to me. That specific rabbit hole that you're referring to who came up with blank has led me down to, like, deep dark holes. As far as the swirly, I don't know. I really don't know. I would I would love to know, but I'm I'm gonna send you something that because it's related to the deep dark hole of, well, who invented this and and where that led to. I just need your reaction live on air. Oh, okay. You're sending it to me right now? Oh, absolutely. Mhmm. Is this coming to text messages? Yes. It is. I was looking up don't ask me how I got on this rabbit hole, but I was wondering if, a guy that has a, dick piercing, like a it's called, like, a prince Albert, I believe. Do they keep something different. Prince Albert? Yeah. What is a dick piercing called? Oh, it is called a Prince Albert. Yeah. So I was wondering, like, do they pee out of multiple holes then? Like, I was very confused to how that all operated. And and in my research, this is what I came across, and I have literally sent this to absolutely everyone I know. Whose is that? It was on Google. I don't know who it belongs. Why were you googling this? No. I was googling prince Albert piercing and do you pee out of multiple holes, and that is what came up in one of my research articles that I was investigating. I don't have a wiener, but, like, if I did, the way I would not do this like, why does this look so painful? I have no idea. I've sent it to everyone. I sent it to Corey directly to his phone. He freaked out. I sent it to, like, everybody I know. And I was like, I have to I have to send this to Lindsay, and you opened up the hole. Okay. That was a really bad that was a really bad use. You you left it wide open, so I had to this was this was my latest rabbit hole, like, roughly a week ago. What's wrong with people? I don't know. But deep dark holes, very scary. Make sure you And did this person y'all don't wanna see this. I promise you. But, like, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight dick piercings, and it's not even big. No. Well, also, I'm just like, if you were a grower, I don't think you can anymore. That's a small wiener, and it's got eight piercings on it. Mhmm. Mhmm. Like, what does that look like? You just go into, like, a tattoo shop or, like, a piercing shop, and you're like, hey. I'm here to get my dick pierced. Honestly, I'm not sure, but that the thickness of the dick ring for the prince Albert is crazy. That's a that's a gauge. Yeah. Mhmm. That's absolutely terrifying. Accidents happen.

But back to what I was saying, one of my brothers got a swirly when he was in kindergarten, and it was by a fifth grade student. And I don't think anything ever happened. Like, I think my parents just went to the school and picked him up and took him home to shower, and I'm pretty sure he went back to school. And then they talked to other child's parents, and it was just, like, done. Like, they do not deal with stuff today the way they they dealt with stuff when we were in school. No. And I feel like I don't know. Maybe that's part of the problem. I'm I'm really not sure. But, like, something's gotta be done because that's absolutely crazy, and I'm so, so sorry for that kid and his family because I would be traumatized for absolute life. Absolute life and also the the mental and emotional turmoil that that's put on those parents. Mhmm. Like, have to be worried about stuff like that by sending their child to school. But then also, the child being so young, seven years old, and something that traumatic happening to them in a school building away from their parents, the way that that's going to live rent free in that child's mind probably for the rest of forever is disgusting. And I don't care if it's a fourth grade student or not. You f**king know better. No. I feel like the golden rule that you're taught is to not put your hands on other people. I just don't see like, I I feel like I need more information. I wanna know what the child was hung up on a hook by and how they're justifying the child having black eyes having anything to do with the child being hung up on the hook. Mhmm. Black eyes, the neck fit, like no. A coat being hung from a coat and being left alone is not leaving those kinds of injuries. I would tend to agree. I also also saw photos of this that were provided, and the way it looked like there was some type of, like, noose or something. Yeah. Mhmm. That's why I said, like, truly sounds like attempted murder. Just terrifying. In other news, you know how I've told you that I'm never going on a cruise? Oh, yeah. Same. Okay. Well, in the news this week, Royal Caribbean cruise ship makes emergency stop after wild winds help trash vessels casino. It says that the stormy weather wreaked havoc on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship causing bottles to fly off of bar shelves and tables to overturn on the casino floor in a frightening but fleeting scene. Did you watch the video of, like, what this looked like? I absolutely did, and the no. That is literally one of my worst, like, fears come to life. I do not wanna be on a ship ever, let alone in the middle of the ocean ever, let alone during some type of storm. No. Thank you. I just feel like water is so unpredictable that I don't know. People who go on cruises, they just they must just not think about this kind of stuff. I don't know. Like, some people, it just doesn't phase them. Like, it truly just doesn't like, there's people who get on planes and don't actively think about them crashing. Me? Not one of them. No. I think every single time that I board a plane, like, this might be it. No. 11000%. I'm like, I truly do not no. I cry every time I leave Corey at the freaking airport. My mom cries every time I leave the house to go to the airport. Like, just life in general is crazy. Like, it just in general, you can I mean, I forget what percentages of car accidents that happen, like, literally around the corner from your house? So, like, anytime Corey's like, oh, I'm just going around the corner. I'm like, I don't care. I need you to post, like, these photos and stuff of this because I feel like all these people at minimum need a refund. It says that there was about five minutes where everybody was wondering what was going on, but as soon as the captain came on and made an announcement of what had happened, it kind of gave you a sense of calmness. No. Absolutely not. Like, no. Nothing about that situation would make me calm. And that was on the heels of me seeing a video where crazy turbulence at a plane and people's heads hit the roof. So Wait. What? Yeah. Well, also their fault. They're not wearing their f**king seat belts. But we all hate them, but, like, wear them because unexpected major turbulence. Like, you're gonna go up. That's just, like, how it goes. And that's what happened, and people, like, were smacking their heads, like, on the ceiling of the plane. Why do people not put their seat belts on on airplanes? I do not understand that. Like, I will told to do it, so they were like, nah. It's like, oh, well, the fastened seat belt sign's not on, so I'm just gonna take it off. Like, how is it bothering you? Truly no idea. I don't love it. I just don't like I just don't like it. But to me, I'm like, okay. It's basically the same exact thing as being in a car, but honestly less annoying because you don't have the shoulder piece. Like, I I absolutely do not understand the lack of safety. People will just do, like, rogue stuff, and I'm like, some of this stuff is completely preventable. Right? Like Mhmm. You wonder why you're sliding out of your seat on an aircraft. Well, there's this handy dandy thing called a seat belt. f**king put it on. I've seen people, like, strap their feet into it so that their feet stay, like, up. And I'm just like, first of all, maybe it's a long leg thing. Like, that's not comfortable for me. I don't wanna be cramped like that, but just wear your damn seat belt. What's so crazy is when I was growing up, like, early nineties, we used to, like, never wear seat belts, I feel like. Like, my grandparents would put us in the back of a car, and we'd be sleeping and just, like, laid literally laid out. My grandparents also drove Cadillacs, so the middle, like, console part lifted up and down, and we would ride on that and call it a horse. No seat belt. Mhmm. We we just weren't really safety driven back then. And I look at my my mom's mother still has I don't know why she's holding on to it. It could possibly be some, like, weird stuff mentally going on, but she held on to my car seat, and I saw it not too terribly long ago. And I'm like, that just doesn't seem safe. No. It was like a big, like, plastic thing that you kinda pulled over with two straps, and then it just, like, had one little latch. But there was nothing that was safe about that whatsoever. We literally never wore seat belts. Don't know how we're still alive. If Jackson gets in the car, I have dingers on everything in both of my vehicles, and it will ding and keep saying, like, rear left side, seat belt not in use or, like, whatever. He knows before that car moves, your seat belt better be on. Uh-huh. Yeah. And I could never imagine driving with a child without a seat belt on in a moving vehicle. No. Literally. It's insane. I know that you have a doctor's appointment to get to, and I have tell me lies that I need to get to, weekly devotional this week. I absolutely love this. It was something that I needed to hear, so I hope it resonates with some of you. I used to hate discomfort, run away from it, make excuses for it, and avoid little inconveniences. However, I've realized that these discomforts are what make you grow. They never really go away, and you always have to find a way to face and handle them always for your sake. I just feel like I'm going through a lot of uncomfortable changes right now in my life. I know you're going through a lot of uncomfortable changes. Maybe it's just like the time of the year. I don't I don't know. But when I saw that, I was like, I that was meant for me to read. Needed to hear it. So thank you for sharing that one. I brought weekly tea this week. Let's hear it. Was a submission from a listener based upon the topic of do you remember when I told you about sounding rods? Yeah. But I forget what they are already. There are things that go into, a penis hole. Why are we talking about this stuff? But and you know what? Truly, it's fitting for the it's fitting for the episode after when I texted you. So this person said, heard the podcast on the Southern T asking about sounding rods. Well, I have a story for you. I have no idea why it would be a trend because if I was a guy, that would definitely be a no for me. I was dating a guy for a few years, and I always knew there was more to him sexually. One time he asked me to use one of the sounding rods on him. At the time, I had no idea what it was. I'm like, what is this? For your butt? Come to find out, it was for his penis hole, and so I did try it on him, and he loved it. His penis started bleeding, and he was in awe. Like, doesn't that hurt you? I asked. But I guess it's for guys who like pain because then I because then he asked me to punch him in the nuts while we did the deed. Then I basically broke up with him a few weeks later. He definitely was not the one for me. I still run into him from time to time with his new girlfriend. And needless to say, I just think, what the hell? Do you ever think when you run into somebody that you've been with before, you're like, what does that next person see in you? But then it makes you self reflect, and you're like, well, I saw something because I was in that same situation, and now I just feel empathy for that new person. Mhmm. If someone ever got out sounding rods and asked me to use them the way I would flatline. If if a guy asked you to punch him in the nuts while you were doing the deed, what would you do? Flatline. No. I don't know of any normal guy that's signing up to be punched in the nuts. I you know, everyone has their kinks into each their own. I'm just some there's a lot that I I question. I'm just like, where's the enjoyment? But I think that my brain just doesn't have the capacity to understand. I also don't have the capacity to understand why people think that because it's a hole that something needs to go in it. Like, I really don't understand that. I you know what? That's a very good question. Like, I have heard some of the strangest things. Some of the things that I get in my DMs are like, my boyfriend likes to finger my ear hole. And I'm like, that was something that I could have gone without knowing. Not the ear hole. Wait. Has someone done this to you? I've definitely had an ex that did put his fingers in my ear quite often. I I didn't know why. He also liked to I okay. This is, like, way TMI here. I everyone makes fun of me. I have an incredibly, like you know how you can have an any belly button and out of your, like, an average? Yeah. No. Mine is like a crater. Like, it's very, very, very deep. Like, if I've truly put, like, what in your belly button? In my belly button. If I, like, I can literally go, like, to my second knuckle in my belly button of my pinky. Like, it's just a very deep belly button. I have no idea why. Did you ever go to the doctor? What did you say? Like, should you go to the doctor? Well, so I mean, they've they've seen it for sure. No one's ever said anything to me about it, but, like, I just know that it's, like, not like, it's just exceptionally deep. Always has been. Mine's just flat with a nub. No. See, I don't have an like, you can't feel my nub. Oh, wow. It's, like, way, way slinger your belly button? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. The same person who did the ear thing also, like, to stick a finger in the belly button. Okay. That's it for me. I I cannot hear anymore today. I hope that you guys all have a very blessed week.
