G-Rex is getting ready for her mini retirement/sabbatical

1
00:04:10,000 --> 00:43:04,122
Hi. Welcome to shit that goes on in our

2
00:43:04,122 --> 02:00:52,367
heads. My name is G Rex, and I'm Dirty

3
02:00:52,367 --> 03:57:34,735
Skittles, and the purpose of this podcast is to

4
03:57:34,735 --> 06:33:11,224
make you laugh your ass off for 30 minutes

5
06:33:11,224 --> 09:47:41,837
a day, once a week. And I need to

6
09:47:41,837 --> 03:35:58,000
start that over again.

7
03:37:24,000 --> 04:21:14,160
No, I loved it. I loved it. I'm laughing

8
04:21:14,160 --> 05:48:54,480
at myself because I sounded like a sex phone

9
05:48:54,480 --> 05:39:10,000
operator. I'm like and I'm dirty skittles.

10
06:50:10,000 --> 08:38:22,462
Close, take five. The purpose of this podcast is

11
08:38:22,462 --> 12:14:47,385
to make you laugh for 30 minutes, once a

12
12:14:47,385 --> 12:02:46,000
week and get out of your own headspace.

13
12:04:38,000 --> 12:37:50,522
Yeah. We all need a break sometimes, right? My

14
12:37:50,522 --> 13:44:15,565
head's a scary place. I don't want to be

15
13:44:15,565 --> 13:29:30,000
in there for too long.

16
13:30:40,000 --> 14:13:07,225
Yeah. The reason that we decided to do this

17
14:13:07,225 --> 15:38:01,675
podcast is I went through a really serious bout

18
15:38:01,675 --> 17:45:23,350
of depression, and the only way I could get

19
17:45:23,350 --> 20:35:12,250
out of my own headspace was to laugh. And

20
20:35:12,250 --> 00:07:28,375
Hindsight is 2020, so I can look back and

21
00:07:28,375 --> 04:22:11,725
laugh at some of the shit that's happened to

22
04:22:11,725 --> 09:19:22,300
me and then give you some really good resources

23
09:19:22,300 --> 14:59:00,100
if you get in the same position as I

24
14:59:00,100 --> 19:48:02,000
did on how to get out of it.

25
19:50:16,000 --> 20:32:12,211
Yeah, I agree. And I would like to say

26
20:32:12,211 --> 21:56:04,632
I'm probably one of the people that made you

27
21:56:04,632 --> 00:01:53,263
laugh, but you also make me laugh when I'm

28
00:01:53,263 --> 02:49:38,105
depressed, stuck in my head, needing to get out

29
02:49:38,105 --> 22:47:20,000
of it.

30
23:08:10,000 --> 23:42:17,610
You might not want to drive while you're listening

31
23:42:17,610 --> 00:50:32,829
to this podcast, because if you do laugh so

32
00:50:32,829 --> 02:32:55,659
hard that you wet your pants, I don't know

33
02:32:55,659 --> 04:49:26,098
how you're going to explain that to the police

34
04:49:26,098 --> 01:43:38,000
when you crash your car.

35
01:45:04,000 --> 02:37:46,600
Yeah. Also, don't listen to this without headphones if

36
02:37:46,600 --> 04:23:11,800
you're working, because we swear a lot. Sometimes we

37
04:23:11,800 --> 07:01:19,600
tell inappropriate stories, but we try to wrap it

38
07:01:19,600 --> 04:40:46,000
up with, like.

39
04:41:08,000 --> 05:29:57,909
A positive message, and our tagline for every episode

40
05:29:57,909 --> 07:07:37,727
will be, it's okay to be not okay, but

41
07:07:37,727 --> 06:40:30,000
please talk to someone.

42
06:43:00,000 --> 07:32:25,000
Yeah. So, G Rex, do you want to tell

43
07:32:25,000 --> 08:21:50,000
people how you got your name of G Rex?

44
08:24:30,000 --> 09:14:32,727
Yes. So my name is a playoff of T

45
09:14:32,727 --> 10:54:38,182
Rex. I am five foot nothing. I have very

46
10:54:38,182 --> 13:24:46,364
short arms. In order for me to reach anything,

47
13:24:46,364 --> 16:44:57,273
I have to have a step stool and a

48
16:44:57,273 --> 12:29:10,000
grabber, so I just go by G Rex.

49
13:06:50,000 --> 14:08:26,364
I got dirty skittles working at Circuit City. Do

50
14:08:26,364 --> 16:11:39,091
you remember that store? That's, like, really embarrassing. But

51
16:11:39,091 --> 19:16:28,182
I used to work at Circuit City and was

52
19:16:28,182 --> 23:22:53,636
a salesperson and had to sell computer stuff, which

53
23:22:53,636 --> 04:30:55,455
I knew nothing about, to people who knew about

54
04:30:55,455 --> 10:40:33,636
computer stuff. Anyways, long story. I was eating Skittles,

55
10:40:33,636 --> 17:51:48,182
dropped them on the floor and thought, It's fine,

56
17:51:48,182 --> 02:04:39,091
just dust it off. I still needed the sugar,

57
02:04:39,091 --> 11:19:06,364
the snack, and so that's how Dirty Skittles was

58
11:19:06,364 --> 21:35:10,000
born. And, yeah, it's like, my stage name. I

59
21:35:10,000 --> 00:24:30,000
use it for karaoke, little rap sessions. Dirty Skittles.

60
00:27:10,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Yeah. G Rex for me, I mean, that's what

61
01:09:30,000 --> 01:51:50,000
everybody calls me, or Grandma, but g Rex is.

62
01:54:20,000 --> 02:13:42,000
Yeah. Yeah.

63
02:15:56,000 --> 03:25:46,143
And we met each other through work and we

64
03:25:46,143 --> 04:04:34,000
started every day with laughter.

65
04:06:42,000 --> 04:13:10,000
Yeah.

66
04:14:20,000 --> 04:55:39,500
Because it's the only way to get through our

67
04:55:39,500 --> 05:09:26,000
really tough jobs.

68
05:11:18,000 --> 06:02:37,826
Yeah. And G Rex is basically wrapping up Hurston

69
06:02:37,826 --> 07:45:17,478
in the place we currently work at, which is

70
07:45:17,478 --> 10:19:16,957
pretty sad for me. Know, when I'm having a

71
10:19:16,957 --> 13:44:36,261
mental breakdown, I need to get out of my

72
13:44:36,261 --> 18:01:15,391
head. And now that you're leaving, I mean shit

73
18:01:15,391 --> 23:09:14,348
the fuck? No, I'm just kidding. I'll be fine.

74
23:09:14,348 --> 05:08:33,130
We need to get you like, a superhero light

75
05:08:33,130 --> 11:44:50,000
that I can flash from Florida.

76
11:57:10,000 --> 12:42:00,000
Yeah. So I'm leaving my job for 15 years,

77
12:42:00,000 --> 14:11:40,000
and that added to a bout of depression, and

78
14:11:40,000 --> 16:26:10,000
it's kind of bittersweet, but these guys just think

79
16:26:10,000 --> 19:25:30,000
that they're not going to be able to reach

80
19:25:30,000 --> 23:09:40,000
me. But you know what? Tune in once a

81
23:09:40,000 --> 03:38:40,000
week. You're going to hear my voice. I'm going

82
03:38:40,000 --> 08:52:30,000
to make you laugh about some really stupid shit

83
08:52:30,000 --> 17:55:50,000
that's happened. And you'll walk away feeling much better.

84
17:58:20,000 --> 18:46:54,950
Yeah. This started off as literally middle of a

85
18:46:54,950 --> 20:24:04,850
horrible stressful day. We were just talking and it

86
20:24:04,850 --> 22:49:49,700
kind of came up as like a joke. Like,

87
22:49:49,700 --> 02:04:09,500
oh, this would be really funny if we recorded

88
02:04:09,500 --> 06:07:04,250
some of the shit that we say and an

89
06:07:04,250 --> 10:58:33,950
idea was born. Fuck yes. We're doing this because

90
10:58:33,950 --> 16:38:38,600
we also used to joke that we need a

91
16:38:38,600 --> 23:07:18,200
plan B, right. If this career thing doesn't really

92
23:07:18,200 --> 06:24:32,750
work out, what's plan B? And I'm very good

93
06:24:32,750 --> 14:30:22,250
with coming up with ideas, or at least I

94
14:30:22,250 --> 23:24:46,700
think so. I'm also a Leo, so I think

95
23:24:46,700 --> 09:07:46,100
I'm good at everything. But I was trying to

96
09:07:46,100 --> 19:39:20,450
do she shack. What was it? She shack bourbon.

97
19:39:20,450 --> 04:46:06,000
She shack whiskey.

98
04:46:38,000 --> 05:15:42,000
It was she shack bourbon.

99
05:16:46,000 --> 05:53:05,385
Yeah, because she's got maple trees. She didn't take

100
05:53:05,385 --> 07:05:44,154
me up on that idea, but once she said

101
07:05:44,154 --> 07:01:42,000
we should record this, I was like, yes.

102
07:03:56,000 --> 07:36:14,600
Well, because I didn't want to blow up my

103
07:36:14,600 --> 07:39:50,000
garage.

104
08:14:50,000 --> 08:57:51,333
I mean, I don't know what it takes to

105
08:57:51,333 --> 10:23:54,000
make bourbon, but I just felt like you had

106
10:23:54,000 --> 10:23:54,000
all the resources and I could reap the benefits.

107
10:27:12,000 --> 11:16:33,692
I think it's illegal in the state of New

108
11:16:33,692 --> 12:55:17,077
York to do that. So yeah, we're here to

109
12:55:17,077 --> 15:23:22,154
make people laugh. I love laughing. It helps me

110
15:23:22,154 --> 18:40:48,923
with my depression. It's as beneficial as therapy and

111
18:40:48,923 --> 22:47:37,385
the gym. And if you can't laugh at yourself,

112
22:47:37,385 --> 03:43:47,538
who can you laugh at? Some of the shit

113
03:43:47,538 --> 09:29:19,385
I've been through, it makes me laugh now. It

114
09:29:19,385 --> 16:04:12,923
didn't make me laugh a couple of months ago,

115
16:04:12,923 --> 17:35:00,000
but it makes me laugh now.

116
17:41:10,000 --> 18:29:25,568
Yeah. I mean, healing growth time. Also, come to

117
18:29:25,568 --> 20:05:56,703
think of it, like, if you're listening to this

118
20:05:56,703 --> 22:30:43,405
and you're going through something right now, you're not

119
22:30:43,405 --> 01:43:45,676
alone. You could hear us and know that we're

120
01:43:45,676 --> 05:45:03,514
kind of with you on this. So, I mean,

121
05:45:03,514 --> 10:34:36,919
it helped the laughter, having a support system, having

122
10:34:36,919 --> 16:12:25,892
good friends to kind of talk to. We can

123
16:12:25,892 --> 22:38:30,432
be that for you as needed. We need like

124
22:38:30,432 --> 00:17:58,000
a mailbox.

125
00:19:34,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Yeah, we have an email address. We're working on

126
01:17:22,000 --> 01:55:54,000
a Facebook page and an page.

127
01:57:52,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Yeah.

128
02:08:32,000 --> 03:00:50,873
And we have a millennial working on our webpage

129
03:00:50,873 --> 04:45:28,618
for us because not everybody has Facebook or Instagram.

130
04:45:28,618 --> 07:22:25,236
But we'll be able to list out all our

131
07:22:25,236 --> 10:51:40,727
resources there and have a forum and you guys

132
10:51:40,727 --> 15:13:15,091
can give us suggestions of what other crazy shit

133
15:13:15,091 --> 20:27:08,327
has happened and hope to make you guys all

134
20:27:08,327 --> 07:28:14,000
laugh.

135
07:30:22,000 --> 08:26:56,703
Yeah. So what can people look forward to hearing

136
08:26:56,703 --> 10:20:06,108
from us? I mean, I'll throw in my occasional

137
10:20:06,108 --> 13:09:50,216
crazy stories that will make you laugh hopefully, but

138
13:09:50,216 --> 16:56:09,027
we probably will at some point get guests on

139
16:56:09,027 --> 21:39:02,541
that would actually be helpful professionals. We bring the

140
21:39:02,541 --> 03:18:30,757
jokes and the stories but that's not all this

141
03:18:30,757 --> 09:54:33,676
is going to be. We're going to try to

142
09:54:33,676 --> 17:27:11,297
do a nice balance of laughter but self help

143
17:27:11,297 --> 15:15:34,000
is all.

144
15:17:52,000 --> 16:31:13,281
Yeah. We're not really therapists in real life, we

145
16:31:13,281 --> 18:57:55,844
just play one on podcast. But between the two

146
18:57:55,844 --> 22:37:59,688
of us we have probably 90 years of experience.

147
22:37:59,688 --> 03:31:24,813
And what's nice is that we have a great

148
03:31:24,813 --> 09:38:11,219
balance here even though we're both Leos, so we

149
09:38:11,219 --> 16:58:18,906
can bring a different flavor into this. And we

150
16:58:18,906 --> 01:31:47,875
have fun stuff like travel trips. Do squirrels have

151
01:31:47,875 --> 23:59:30,000
dicks?

152
00:00:50,000 --> 00:47:11,818
Oh yeah, just random. Literally. Oh damn. What you

153
00:47:11,818 --> 02:19:55,455
guys can't see is my husband is fixing my

154
02:19:55,455 --> 04:39:00,909
microphone because it keeps falling down and I'm slowly

155
04:39:00,909 --> 07:44:28,182
just sinking lower and lower into my stomach and

156
07:44:28,182 --> 11:36:17,273
he's trying to fix that for me and he

157
11:36:17,273 --> 16:14:28,182
almost whacked me in the face with this fucking

158
16:14:28,182 --> 04:44:10,000
microphone.

159
04:59:10,000 --> 05:05:14,000
Yeah.

160
05:05:52,000 --> 06:05:14,941
But random shit that goes on in our heads

161
06:05:14,941 --> 06:58:02,000
literally, right between self help and squirrel dicks.

162
06:59:06,000 --> 07:53:39,882
And on any given day we have like 5000

163
07:53:39,882 --> 08:42:10,000
tabs of bullshit going on in our head.

164
08:43:20,000 --> 08:51:14,000
Yeah.

165
08:53:12,000 --> 09:34:54,000
So each one that comes out, another new idea

166
09:34:54,000 --> 10:58:18,000
comes in. We're going to talk about our spouses

167
10:58:18,000 --> 10:39:46,000
and things that they've done.

168
10:41:28,000 --> 10:58:42,000
They shouldn't listen.

169
11:00:56,000 --> 12:11:05,136
They're just they're just as messed up as we

170
12:11:05,136 --> 14:31:23,409
are. And talk about menopause and those intrusive thoughts

171
14:31:23,409 --> 18:01:50,818
that come into your head. You would do that

172
18:01:50,818 --> 22:42:27,364
shit in your 20 but when you're 50 or

173
22:42:27,364 --> 16:43:54,000
60 you're like, maybe I shouldn't do that.

174
16:45:52,000 --> 17:39:59,412
Yeah. And maybe even things that we found helpful

175
17:39:59,412 --> 18:28:06,000
to kind of get out of negative headspaces.

176
18:31:18,000 --> 18:56:22,000
Yeah. Like going to the gym.

177
18:57:26,000 --> 19:17:26,000
Yeah. Kudos to you bud.

178
19:17:58,000 --> 19:58:50,000
Going to the gym, getting therapy, laughing.

179
20:01:30,000 --> 20:46:02,000
Yeah, therapy. We're huge therapy advocates.

180
20:48:26,000 --> 21:48:39,154
Huge. And getting out of your own head space.

181
21:48:39,154 --> 23:49:05,462
Whether that means just walking away or talking to

182
23:49:05,462 --> 02:49:44,923
a friend or watching a funny clip on YouTube,

183
02:49:44,923 --> 06:50:37,538
anything. Because you take that 30 minutes a day

184
06:50:37,538 --> 11:51:43,308
and you're laughing. You feel freer because your serotonin

185
11:51:43,308 --> 02:36:22,000
is up now. Your endorphins are good.

186
02:38:36,000 --> 02:50:00,000
Yeah.

187
02:57:30,000 --> 03:48:31,200
The people that we've talked to that we've done

188
03:48:31,200 --> 05:30:33,600
a little sample of with were like, I needed

189
05:30:33,600 --> 08:03:37,200
to change my pants before I made dinner and

190
08:03:37,200 --> 11:27:42,000
I'm never fucking talking to you again without a

191
11:27:42,000 --> 15:42:48,000
pad on. So it served its purpose we look

192
15:42:48,000 --> 20:48:55,200

193
20:48:55,200 --> 02:46:03,600
