Get Out of Your Head with G Rex & Dirty Skittles - Intro

00:04:10
Hi. Welcome to shit that goes on in our

00:43:04
heads. My name is G Rex, and I'm Dirty

02:00:52
Skittles, and the purpose of this podcast is to

03:57:34
make you laugh your ass off for 30 minutes

06:33:11
a day, once a week. And I need to

09:47:41
start that over again.

03:37:24
No, I loved it. I loved it. I'm laughing

04:21:14
at myself because I sounded like a sex phone

05:48:54
operator. I'm like and I'm dirty skittles.

06:50:10
Close, take five. The purpose of this podcast is

08:38:22
to make you laugh for 30 minutes, once a

12:14:47
week and get out of your own headspace.

12:04:38
Yeah. We all need a break sometimes, right? My

12:37:50
head's a scary place. I don't want to be

13:44:15
in there for too long.

13:30:40
Yeah. The reason that we decided to do this

14:13:07
podcast is I went through a really serious bout

15:38:01
of depression, and the only way I could get

17:45:23
out of my own headspace was to laugh. And

20:35:12
Hindsight is 2020, so I can look back and

00:07:28
laugh at some of the shit that's happened to

04:22:11
me and then give you some really good resources

09:19:22
if you get in the same position as I

14:59:00
did on how to get out of it.

19:50:16
Yeah, I agree. And I would like to say

20:32:12
I'm probably one of the people that made you

21:56:04
laugh, but you also make me laugh when I'm

00:01:53
depressed, stuck in my head, needing to get out

02:49:38
of it.

23:08:10
You might not want to drive while you're listening

23:42:17
to this podcast, because if you do laugh so

00:50:32
hard that you wet your pants, I don't know

02:32:55
how you're going to explain that to the police

04:49:26
when you crash your car.

01:45:04
Yeah. Also, don't listen to this without headphones if

02:37:46
you're working, because we swear a lot. Sometimes we

04:23:11
tell inappropriate stories, but we try to wrap it

07:01:19
up with, like.

04:41:08
A positive message, and our tagline for every episode

05:29:57
will be, it's okay to be not okay, but

07:07:37
please talk to someone.

06:43:00
Yeah. So, G Rex, do you want to tell

07:32:25
people how you got your name of G Rex?

08:24:30
Yes. So my name is a playoff of T

09:14:32
Rex. I am five foot nothing. I have very

10:54:38
short arms. In order for me to reach anything,

13:24:46
I have to have a step stool and a

16:44:57
grabber, so I just go by G Rex.

13:06:50
I got dirty skittles working at Circuit City. Do

14:08:26
you remember that store? That's, like, really embarrassing. But

16:11:39
I used to work at Circuit City and was

19:16:28
a salesperson and had to sell computer stuff, which

23:22:53
I knew nothing about, to people who knew about

04:30:55
computer stuff. Anyways, long story. I was eating Skittles,

10:40:33
dropped them on the floor and thought, It's fine,

17:51:48
just dust it off. I still needed the sugar,

02:04:39
the snack, and so that's how Dirty Skittles was

11:19:06
born. And, yeah, it's like, my stage name. I

21:35:10
use it for karaoke, little rap sessions. Dirty Skittles.

00:27:10
Yeah. G Rex for me, I mean, that's what

01:09:30
everybody calls me, or Grandma, but g Rex is.

01:54:20
Yeah. Yeah.

02:15:56
And we met each other through work and we

03:25:46
started every day with laughter.

04:06:42
Yeah.

04:14:20
Because it's the only way to get through our

04:55:39
really tough jobs.

05:11:18
Yeah. And G Rex is basically wrapping up Hurston

06:02:37
in the place we currently work at, which is

07:45:17
pretty sad for me. Know, when I'm having a

10:19:16
mental breakdown, I need to get out of my

13:44:36
head. And now that you're leaving, I mean shit

18:01:15
the fuck? No, I'm just kidding. I'll be fine.

23:09:14
We need to get you like, a superhero light

05:08:33
that I can flash from Florida.

11:57:10
Yeah. So I'm leaving my job for 15 years,

12:42:00
and that added to a bout of depression, and

14:11:40
it's kind of bittersweet, but these guys just think

16:26:10
that they're not going to be able to reach

19:25:30
me. But you know what? Tune in once a

23:09:40
week. You're going to hear my voice. I'm going

03:38:40
to make you laugh about some really stupid shit

08:52:30
that's happened. And you'll walk away feeling much better.

17:58:20
Yeah. This started off as literally middle of a

18:46:54
horrible stressful day. We were just talking and it

20:24:04
kind of came up as like a joke. Like,

22:49:49
oh, this would be really funny if we recorded

02:04:09
some of the shit that we say and an

06:07:04
idea was born. Fuck yes. We're doing this because

10:58:33
we also used to joke that we need a

16:38:38
plan B, right. If this career thing doesn't really

23:07:18
work out, what's plan B? And I'm very good

06:24:32
with coming up with ideas, or at least I

14:30:22
think so. I'm also a Leo, so I think

23:24:46
I'm good at everything. But I was trying to

09:07:46
do she shack. What was it? She shack bourbon.

19:39:20
She shack whiskey.

04:46:38
It was she shack bourbon.

05:16:46
Yeah, because she's got maple trees. She didn't take

05:53:05
me up on that idea, but once she said

07:05:44
we should record this, I was like, yes.

07:03:56
Well, because I didn't want to blow up my

07:36:14
garage.

08:14:50
I mean, I don't know what it takes to

08:57:51
make bourbon, but I just felt like you had

10:23:54
all the resources and I could reap the benefits.

10:27:12
I think it's illegal in the state of New

11:16:33
York to do that. So yeah, we're here to

12:55:17
make people laugh. I love laughing. It helps me

15:23:22
with my depression. It's as beneficial as therapy and

18:40:48
the gym. And if you can't laugh at yourself,

22:47:37
who can you laugh at? Some of the shit

03:43:47
I've been through, it makes me laugh now. It

09:29:19
didn't make me laugh a couple of months ago,

16:04:12
but it makes me laugh now.

17:41:10
Yeah. I mean, healing growth time. Also, come to

18:29:25
think of it, like, if you're listening to this

20:05:56
and you're going through something right now, you're not

22:30:43
alone. You could hear us and know that we're

01:43:45
kind of with you on this. So, I mean,

05:45:03
it helped the laughter, having a support system, having

10:34:36
good friends to kind of talk to. We can

16:12:25
be that for you as needed. We need like

22:38:30
a mailbox.

00:19:34
Yeah, we have an email address. We're working on

01:17:22
a Facebook page and an page.

01:57:52
Yeah.

02:08:32
And we have a millennial working on our webpage

03:00:50
for us because not everybody has Facebook or Instagram.

04:45:28
But we'll be able to list out all our

07:22:25
resources there and have a forum and you guys

10:51:40
can give us suggestions of what other crazy shit

15:13:15
has happened and hope to make you guys all

20:27:08
laugh.

07:30:22
Yeah. So what can people look forward to hearing

08:26:56
from us? I mean, I'll throw in my occasional

10:20:06
crazy stories that will make you laugh hopefully, but

13:09:50
we probably will at some point get guests on

16:56:09
that would actually be helpful professionals. We bring the

21:39:02
jokes and the stories but that's not all this

03:18:30
is going to be. We're going to try to

09:54:33
do a nice balance of laughter but self help

17:27:11
is all.

15:17:52
Yeah. We're not really therapists in real life, we

16:31:13
just play one on podcast. But between the two

18:57:55
of us we have probably 90 years of experience.

22:37:59
And what's nice is that we have a great

03:31:24
balance here even though we're both Leos, so we

09:38:11
can bring a different flavor into this. And we

16:58:18
have fun stuff like travel trips. Do squirrels have

01:31:47
dicks?

00:00:50
Oh yeah, just random. Literally. Oh damn. What you

00:47:11
guys can't see is my husband is fixing my

02:19:55
microphone because it keeps falling down and I'm slowly

04:39:00
just sinking lower and lower into my stomach and

07:44:28
he's trying to fix that for me and he

11:36:17
almost whacked me in the face with this fucking

16:14:28
microphone.

04:59:10
Yeah.

05:05:52
But random shit that goes on in our heads

06:05:14
literally, right between self help and squirrel dicks.

06:59:06
And on any given day we have like 5000

07:53:39
tabs of bullshit going on in our head.

08:43:20
Yeah.

08:53:12
So each one that comes out, another new idea

09:34:54
comes in. We're going to talk about our spouses

10:58:18
and things that they've done.

10:41:28
They shouldn't listen.

11:00:56
They're just they're just as messed up as we

12:11:05
are. And talk about menopause and those intrusive thoughts

14:31:23
that come into your head. You would do that

18:01:50
shit in your 20 but when you're 50 or

22:42:27
60 you're like, maybe I shouldn't do that.

16:45:52
Yeah. And maybe even things that we found helpful

17:39:59
to kind of get out of negative headspaces.

18:31:18
Yeah. Like going to the gym.

18:57:26
Yeah. Kudos to you bud.

19:17:58
Going to the gym, getting therapy, laughing.

20:01:30
Yeah, therapy. We're huge therapy advocates.

20:48:26
Huge. And getting out of your own head space.

21:48:39
Whether that means just walking away or talking to

23:49:05
a friend or watching a funny clip on YouTube,

02:49:44
anything. Because you take that 30 minutes a day

06:50:37
and you're laughing. You feel freer because your serotonin

11:51:43
is up now. Your endorphins are good.

02:38:36
Yeah.

02:57:30
The people that we've talked to that we've done

03:48:31
a little sample of with were like, I needed

05:30:33
to change my pants before I made dinner and

08:03:37
I'm never fucking talking to you again without a

11:27:42
pad on. So it served its purpose we look

15:42:48
forward to meeting you and entertaining you once a

20:48:55
week with the crazy shit that goes on in

02:46:03
our head. And please, just leave your comments out

09:34:13
on our Facebook page or Instagram page with any

17:13:24
ideas or crazy shit you'd like to hear about.

11:29:56
We're happy you're here.
