00:00Good gracious. I am so not good with the live stuff. If you guys watched my last one I was
00:15like, how do I end this? So this seemed like a cool little gimmick. Oh, gotcha! For those
00:26that know, the wrestling. I don't know how that started. Is that only just a wrestling
00:34thing? I don't know. But um, oh good gracious, thank you everyone that's joined. Wow. Ooh,
00:46human interaction. I love it. Let's see. Um, hello? So many wonderful people. So I just
00:55thought I would just do something silly. The silly filter is there. I have to update y'all.
01:02Cause, like, ow. It's so, it's like a um, goodness, what's the word? It's like a double
01:13edged sword. Like, I know what I need to do for my mental health. And everyone, that's
01:23the priority. But then, I also feel this, maybe it's selfish, that with checking in
01:35with my daffanatics, that I say, hey yo, this is what's happening with me. And it kind of
01:41inspires me. So, um, I just thought I'd go live. Wow. It was just really random. I'm
01:49like, well, let's do it. Cause, craziness has happened. Ooh. And, that's what made me
02:00think about it is, like, let's have a discussion. Like, talk amongst yourselves. Like, let's
02:08do this in the comments. But uh, if someone says, oh, you're crazy. Oh, you're crazy.
02:16In this day and age, saying something to someone that you know has a mental illness,
02:28and you say, ah, you're crazy. Is that equivalent to saying other slurs? Like, is there a mental
02:43illness slur? Cause this, you know, I've been, I'm not, I don't know. I don't know if I've
02:50heard the first. I mean, God bless Chris Canyon, you know, and he is a trailblazer. And he
03:00opened the eyes of, um, to where generations behind him. Hmm. I'm sorry. I mean, I knew
03:19he was my friend. And it makes me so sad that he, hmm. And because of that stuff, that
03:33silliness, that is just not necessary. There's no reason to judge anyone. Good gracious.
03:45Rest in power, Chris Canyon. I know he's in a better place. Whew. I didn't mean to
03:58get off on that tangent, but I'm so glad I did. Just say how society in general, I'm
04:08so grateful. I'm so glad that people are opening their hearts and their minds to humans. It's a
04:25great thing. Sorry. So, um, where was I? Wow. Too many hits to the head. Um, I can't
04:38remember. Oh, good gracious. I just felt this. There are a lot of things right now going
04:53on with me personally, where I've had to like take a step back and say, not so much
05:01social media or whatever. I'm pursuing my bachelor's and I already have a job where
05:10I work as a caregiver and it is fucking awesome to go in and see this human being that when
05:23I was applying for the job, and that's what I'm going to school for, um, human services,
05:31sorry, human services. Um, she let me know that he has been hitting the head and concussions
05:42and he's only 73. And she was like, chronic traumatic encephalopathy. And she said chronic
05:52traumatic. And then I finished her sentence and said, Oh, and like, I know, and I have
06:01it and I worry. I just turned 46, but in 10 years, am I going to be, he has only, he's
06:13been suffering from this since he was 70. And to be able to see the effect of going
06:27there on a daily basis, interacting with him, getting things done that his wife and needs
06:37and her being able to relax. It almost feels like, Oh goodness, we need those on my eyes
06:50because right now, I mean, we're in the dark. Um, I explained to him, to my good friend
06:58how it feels, this giving back, this service degree, human services, where I am helping
07:08others after I, so God bless, like I have an action figure. I was on TV, like, Whoa,
07:21that's craziness. And so now life after wrestling, it took a while. Um, uh, but I'm so blessed
07:37to like find my second calling, you know what I mean? Um, so it was, it was so awesome.
07:51Like one of the, one of the most like, God, I'm hitting my chest because that's, that's
07:58where it hit me is just going and helping and doing grocery shopping and being patient
08:10and just like, Oh good gracious. I, we lost our light. We lost our light. Okay. Um, then
08:20there was a lady in the grocery store seeing me interact and, um, she was like, you are
08:30so sweet. And Oh, Oh wow. Sorry. Ukraine. Thank you. I haven't looked at the comments
08:40because I'm just kind of like spewing stuff. And then if you guys leave a comment, I promise
08:46I will respond. But like going live it, unless you're doing some sort of interactive something,
08:54it's um, hard. So yes. Um, good gracious. I got so distracted by Ukraine. Like somebody
09:05is watching you right now. That's bananas. It's bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. So let's try
09:16to circle it back and around and conclude to, I took a breath and then I'm like, I don't
09:33know. I'm gonna have to watch this back and I might delete it. I don't know. But, um,
09:41I just like felt this urge to say, Hey, this is what happened with me now. Yay. And I hope
09:56you all, um, watch the gaw on TV episode or yeah. Um, good gracious. That's the best
10:07thing that's happened to me in years. I love those women, Val, Mickey, Lisa, and all the
10:15good things that are happening for the women's and my contribution with pursuing this life
10:23after wrestling and everything is, I'm just talking to some of the girls that, um, maybe
10:31came through shine or that I know in other places and just kind of like guiding and mentoring
10:39them. But I was going to go, I mean, how crazy is it? Like Mickey, she's like, I'm gonna
10:47fly you out. You can sleep in my room. I was so humbled. And you don't know, I would
10:56cut off my fricking, well, this is my left arm. I'll cut off my right arm to be their
11:04ringside to watch all the accomplishments of what women have been able to do. However,
11:15it's kind of like watching this Simone Biles stuff and everything like that. I don't know.
11:23It's not that level. No, nevermind that I said that. I'm going to start because it's
11:30different. I mean, God bless her. I hope she's okay. And if anybody is a mental health advocate,
11:37it's me. And I think she's going to kick it and she's going to be okay because she's realized
11:43that like she's by being public about it, that she has this amazing support system and
11:50people that don't give a frick if, you know, she couldn't stick it. Oh, well, well, you're
12:00still awesome. So, um, that's kind of like what I was trying to say for me. Maybe I can't
12:11be there live. I've got my life going on or whatever, but the, the, the, what I can give
12:17back to the art, to the industry that will always hold my whole soul, no matter if I'm,
12:25what I do going forward, um, that I can advise and help the youngins as I didn't shine from
12:38one. That was like almost 10 years ago. We're like, well, they just had their ninth anniversary
12:45and you know, like, I don't know, like I talked about this in, in our golf interview, but they
12:54have to like cut it down, you know, cause it's just 30 minutes and stuff. So I talked about like,
13:00Sal and I started shine. And then the more we talked and everything, I'm like, Oh, we need to
13:07bring in Lexi Foxy lady, Lexi five. Cause she is fricking amazing. And she, gosh, she's genius.
13:14And she is very, um, giving me that. Well, yeah, she's giving, I'm not gonna, but you know, her
13:27business is to look at new talent and what, like, I mean, gracious slamming ladies. I don't know
13:35where I'd be without Simon ladies. I, every person that I encountered, which it's been over,
13:41it's like 15 years, um, that I was working with them. And then the people that you met when you
13:51did costumes at Lexi's house and the interaction. So Lexi was always like at the forefront of
13:58knowing the girls that really, really wanted it because they would contact her. She would see how
14:07their, their attitude and their performance in the ring. And then that's kind of how we knew
14:17who was safe to like book or whatever. Um, cause y'all know, not everybody's cut out for this. Not
14:27everybody has the right, um, personality or, um, mindset, let's say to, I've talked too long. I'm
14:44at a loss for words. Um, so I'm going to end it there. I hope I said what I wanted to say. Um,
14:55I just, there's a lot of things going on for me right now and I'm hoping to, well, it's all
15:06positive things. So, for y'all know, you know, and so now I, um, wow. It just like chair shots.
15:24What? So now I'm just, you know, gonna do what I do, but then you just wrestling is, you know,
15:32you dabble in it, you know, you do what you do. So, um, I love you guys so much. Thank you,
15:40my daffodilics. And thank you for dealing with this filter because I didn't want to put lights
15:46and concussions. And so I, you guys are just like, I'm just gonna, you're so near to my heart. So
16:07thank you. And I'll keep you updated. I am so happy to tell you that I'm kicking ass and I'm
16:18doing good things and I'm helping people in college to get the second bachelors. Literally,
16:26if you get a human services degree, you are, you're like, okay, so helpers are as you're reading the
16:33textbooks, like you're helpers. Good gracious. I love it. I love it. I love it. So I'll keep you
16:45updated. Yes. I have like this whole fricking DVD that has spoilers. So I can't even, and we got a
16:56fricking kizzey fizzey if we ordered these with a special daff package and the thank you notes and
17:04how I personalize it. But it is, uh, I mean, you guys know, I don't like to like toot my own horn.
17:14I'm a jobber. What'd I ever do? But I know this new DVD is gonna like, because I found some stuff.
17:23I've moved 25 times in my life. I'm about to move this next week again. So at 46 moving 25 times.
17:33So, but in the meantime, um, my dear friend, um, um, I mean this, it's so awesome. It's two disks.
17:45And, um, so this is gonna help me continue to finish my degree and, um, no twitch. Um, I wanted
17:56to, but it just, I don't know, too much stuff going on, you know? And, um, so if I could be
18:06Allison Kaye and do so-called Steve Austin with a bobble cap. Remember, she's my favorite. Mr.
18:16Perfect, honey. And then she's Ms. Perfect. Love her. God, I got so excited thinking about the AK.
18:28Um, so alas, uh, I love you all. And, um, I'm just gonna, you know, keep on keeping on and, um, I will
18:45keep you all updated. So we got a, um, scream on live loud. And then this is where even if you guys
18:57watch my last live one, I'm like, Oh, how do I end? And I watched it back so many times just to laugh
19:05at myself that I don't even know how to do this stuff. But I'm 46. Bear with me. I'm an age of
19:13fanny packs and Oh goodness gracious. See, it did it again. All right. I got to go back to
19:21watching. I'm watching Homeland on prime video because Carrie, um, Claire Danes is a CIA operative,
19:31but she's bipolar. And it's been this, I watched it back in the day, like the first couple seasons,
19:40and then I didn't have access to it monetarily. And that's all good. So now I do. And I just went
19:48back from the beginning. And it's been like an even like, wow, the things that you can accomplish
19:56with the mental illness, if you are smart, and you stay on top of it, and you take your meds, and you
20:04get your rest and you get your exercise and you do it all right. It's not a disability. It's just an
20:12illness. And sometimes you're sick, and you need more care. And then sometimes I'm all good, because
20:21I know what to do after 15 years and have dealt with that. And I got it back. So we should probably
20:33do a mental health live interactive, like just on YouTube. I used to do those. And I made them all
20:43private. But for my Daphnia, that time in my life, it was so special. So maybe we should do one of
20:57those to check in on mental health. And then I always encourage, if we do do those, and I said do
21:06do, but if we do those, email me. And then maybe we can talk about a certain topic affecting your mental
21:17health. And, you know, just, it's so good to get it out. And so it was good for me. And it was good for y'all.
21:35Because I read every email and every live post. I went back and reread them. And we, it was really awesome
21:43when I would do a live and we help somebody else via the email with the live chat. That's what makes it
21:50happen. Oh, good gracious. Can't not have a filter. Um, is like, okay, so we're not always talking about me.
22:00It's we're a family. We're all in this together. And mental health is, you know, so if you need to reach
22:09out, I mean, that's the thing, ask for help. And then in the forum, you know, you'll have a support system in the
22:20live chat. And then you might meet someone that you can communicate with more. And then good gracious, you
22:29know, who knows? Okay. Good gracious. All right. I think I don't even know the time. It doesn't even tell me. But I
22:45think I'm gonna hit this X. I'm gonna hit this X. And I think we're done. So scream out loud. Just thank you for
22:58listening. I love you. My Daffanatics.
