Ms. Crystal's Podcast Program |ep 47| You Are Not Cinderella

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. Guess who it is? Miss Crystal and that's me. And I'm the host and proprietor of Miss Crystal's podcast program where we have a podcast and it's called Miss Crystal's podcast program. So, welcome back if you're coming back. If this is your first time, um, where have you been? We've been waiting for you.

[00:00:27]Today's episode 47. And as I always say, that's a four and a seven. 7 + 4 is 11. And 1 + 1 is 2. Need I say more? I don't think so.

[00:00:41]It's June 22nd. And I haven't mentioned this on the other June episodes, but it's a very important month for me and many other women across the world because it is National Lipadeema Awareness Month month. And if you don't know what lipadeema is, well, I'll just tell you. You know how when I stand up, I got a small waist and a big butt and big legs? That's lipadeema. I didn't get a BBL. I didn't get thigh implants.

[00:01:13]The good Lord above blessed me with a chronic progressive loose connective tissue disorder called lipadeema.

[00:01:24]And I'm going to bring some awareness to it.

[00:01:29]And you're probably getting sick of me talking about it, but I'm not going to start talking about it until I go to the doctor and they say, "Oh, I know what lipadeema is instead of lympadeema or obesity." Because all these years I'd go to the doctor and I'd say something's wrong with me. My legs feel like they weigh 300 pounds each.

[00:01:49]They hurt. I'm bruising. And every time the cat steps on me, I feel like I'm going to rise up out of the thing. And they say, "Oh, you're just fat. Lose some weight." And when I tell you I was following every Weight Watchers uh every diet program there was to the tea and exercises and and not losing a pound and the doctor saying, "Well, I guess you're not telling me the truth."

[00:02:15]The amount of medical gaslighting that I have encountered throughout my whole life because of this lipadeema uh has been ridiculous.

[00:02:27]Now, here's where the story takes a turn. I'm sitting in my kitchen one day and I had to sit down to cook because the pain in my legs was so bad that I couldn't even stand long enough uh to cook a meal. And I'm looking on my laptop and all of a sudden this video comes across and it says a disease called fat. And I see these women's pictures of these women's legs that look just like mine. And I said, "Whatever them women have, I have." And it said lipadeema.

[00:02:59]So I start searching searching lipadeema and of course lympadeema which is something totally different coming up.

[00:03:08]Finally get to lipadeema find out it's a loose connect connective tissue disorder that causes abnormal fat buildup in your legs buttocks arms and even now I have it in my stomach.

[00:03:22]So had a doctor uh known about that and recognized that many years ago, I could have already been on the path of taking care of it by wearing compression, uh doing water exercises, low carb diet, GLP1s, because for some reason GLP1s are helping women with uh with lipidma and they don't exactly know why yet. I think it has something to do with um what's that called? Insulin resistance.

[00:03:54]So if you're a lady and maybe you have a little cat and maybe the cat jumps on your leg and you go, "Ah, you might have lipadeema." If you have a very big butt, big legs, small waist, you might have lipadeema. If you look at your legs and you think, "Oh, that is cellulite, but it feels like hard little nodules under my skin." You might have lipadeema.

[00:04:23]go to lipadeema.org and look at the pictures on there because you have to go into your own doctor and tell them, "Look, this is what I got." And they're going to say, "I'm sorry, you don't have lympadeema."

[00:04:35]And you say, "It ain't lympadeema.

[00:04:38]It's lip edema." And then they'll they'll think that you're confusing that with lipademia, which is a whole another freaking thing. They need to rename lipadeema to just big butt syndrome, big leg syndrome. Cuz some women's can just have it in the thigh. Some women can have it just in the arms. And you see this right here? You see a lady like this? People love making fun of ladies like this, but guess what? Lipadeema. My arm's supposed to be this big. This is lipadeema.

[00:05:12]Again, if you if you're when you go out and walk and if it feels like you're dragging your legs through sand, you might have lipadeema. And I sound like that comedian. What was that comedian? You might be a redneck.

[00:05:27]You might have lipadeema if you have any of these things. So, all I'm saying is if you've been wondering, hey, I've tried to lose weight and I can't. My legs are huge. They're heavy. I get lots of bruises. Um, you know, I'm hyper. Another thing that comes with this is hyper uh what's it called? Hyperextended. Maybe your joints maybe you're super flexible. Maybe your hands you know your fingers are flexible. That also is another uh not a symptom but many women that have lipadeema have hyper mobility. And I say women because this happens to primarily women and they think and I'm not a doctor but they think it is hormone driven and that is my TED talk epi lipidma day.

[00:06:17]So the next time you you want to uh call somebody fat and they say well I have a medical condition believe them because sometimes people would like you know they'd say well I'm not fat I have a medical condition. You know, they're trying to just say that, but it's true.

[00:06:39]And I used to eat a lot of fried foods and all kind of different things, and I can't eat those anymore cuz they really caused my lipadeema to become inflamed.

[00:06:48]The fat cells that I have that are not regular metabolic fat cells are hard and you can't you have to get them sucked out basically by lipos suction.

[00:07:01]Also, today it's National Kissing Day, and I'm going to use this as another PSA, as you can see. And I'm not going to zoom in, and I don't want Aiden to zoom in either. I have a cold sore on my lip.

[00:07:17]And that's a easy way of saying I have herpes simplex one. I don't have it down yonder, but I do have it up here. Uh, and that is because when I was a child, either somebody kissed me on my mouth or because I was Catholic, we would drink, you know, this is what they do at the Catholic church. You go up to the wine person first. You get the the bread.

[00:07:44]Then you go to the wine lady and you take a drink from the side like this.

[00:07:47]And then they take a a napkin and clean it off and then give it a one turn.

[00:07:55]I'm convinced that's where I got the herpes simplex because everybody in the damn church was drinking out of the same damn cup and they're wiping it off with a cloth.

[00:08:05]And you might say, "Well, God is going to take the herpes off of there." He didn't.

[00:08:10]Herpes is stronger than the power of Christ, at least on a chalice.

[00:08:18]And I don't know if I haven't been to a Catholic church in so long. I don't know if they're still doing this. They need to get individual cups and then they'll argue, "Oh, it's not even wine anymore. It's the blood of Christ. I'm not drinking blood. I'm not a vampire and I don't eat the body of of uh the Lord because I'm not a cannon cannibal."

[00:08:40]I was going to say cannonball. I'm not a cannonball either.

[00:08:47]That's a whole other thing talking about Catholicism and eating and drinking the blood of God. When you're in second grade and you take your communion for the first time as a little child, an 8 nyear-old child, you have an adult telling you that you're going to consume the body and blood of a man and you expect me to grow up well adjusted?

[00:09:16]You ever wonder why I am like I am? It's cuz when I was a child, the Catholic Church told me I was eating the body and blood of a grown man and getting herpes.

[00:09:30]I got to calm down. Also, stupid guy things day. So, this is a day and they said this is tongue and cheek. Stupid guy things day. Uh making a second grader drink the body and blood of Christ. That's a stupid guy thing cuz you know a guy invented that. There was no gal back then that was like hey let's make a thing called the eukarist.

[00:09:55]That was a definitely a guy and I get on to guys a lot here and I will continue to do that till guys act right.

[00:10:06]And also what else is it? It is Cindy Looper's birthday.

[00:10:11]Happy birthday Cindy Looper. And when I was a younger person, I would often uh play a game called lip sync with my friend Joey Carter. And Joey Carter was more affluent than we were. And I would go to his trailer and he would turn on his little boom box and play all kind of different songs. And then he'd say, "Okay, lip sync."

[00:10:34]Now, now that I think about it, I don't think he ever lip-synced.

[00:10:38]I think I was the one doing the singing, dancing, and lip-syncing. But I would always do girls just to want to have fun.

[00:10:46]And I really need to think back to this Joey Carter thing.

[00:10:56]Also, fellow uh comedian and actor Marilyn Rice Cub. And I had to look up how to say her name. Rice Cub.

[00:11:08]It's not spelled like you would think.

[00:11:11]Mary Lynn has been on many TV show comedy uh going on to comedy stuff. Look her up. She's real funny. And the reason I like her is cuz she's a gal that's about my age and she's out there just absolutely destroying it.

[00:11:28]I don't know if she's just getting her feed destroyed, but she should be if she's not.

[00:11:37]Mary Lynn Rice Cub. Rice Cub.

[00:11:47]And I I don't own very many white shirts.

[00:11:53]And the reason is cuz two seconds before we started filming, I took a big drink of a soda and it got right here.

[00:12:02]Why would a soda out of this spill onto me? because it was in the top. I guess now that is really hitting that is just hitting so hard.

[00:12:18]Let's see what we have in the future.

[00:12:20]Today actually is a special day cuz I'm in Canada right now as you're watching this. I'm in Canada, Canada with Trailer Trash Tammy and she has shows at um in Edmonton and New Westminster.

[00:12:40]And I'm not, again, I'm not a geologist, so I don't really know their states, but I know it's over there. So, when you're looking at a map, you got Canada left and right. I'd say it's on Canada left, if that makes sense.

[00:12:58]And now let's get to figuring out the figurine. We didn't do this last week, so let's figure out a figurine.

[00:13:14]Have we done this one? Do you remember this one?

[00:13:18]I do not remember who gave this to me.

[00:13:21]Okay, stop it.

[00:13:25]But the reason I like it is because when you lift it up, it makes the sound of a dog barking.

[00:13:35]It's supposed to. And on the back it says, "I pick you for my best friend."

[00:13:41]Registered number 705 out of 1889.

[00:13:46]Designed by some lady. And it's a little dog sitting on a little box that says bubbly cola.

[00:13:57]And my first issue here obviously is that the bubbly cola box is upside down.

[00:14:03]And I thought they have to do that cuz it's probably a crate. And if this little dog was to sit on it this direction, he'd be in the crate. And he doesn't want to because he's playing a banjo.

[00:14:18]And if you look closely at his face, what you're going to see is the cutest little dog that you've ever seen. Look how precious he is.

[00:14:29]He seems to be wearing some sort of handkerchief and he has suspenders on and also he's wearing a very colorful pair of pants. Why is this little dog sitting on a crate playing a banjo? Is he in an oldtimey western town and he needs to earn a few extra dollars for some dog food? So maybe he has a little cup sitting there for people to put change into. Maybe somebody is forcing him to work. Like people force those horses to work in New York City pulling carriages full of people. Well, guess what? A horse just passed on in New York City. And this ain't funny.

[00:15:13]Stop putting horses on the front of your stupid carriages and going down the hot streets in New York City. How about we put you on the front of a carriage and you pull people around?

[00:15:26]If you think it's okay to get in a carriage in New York City or anywhere where a overworked, tired, hungry, dehydrated, elderly horse is pulling you so you can look around and go, "Oo, ah."

[00:15:41]Then you need to be pulling a carriage.

[00:15:45]The damn horse fell over and died in the street.

[00:15:50]Stop riding carriages. This ain't the 1700s. We have cars. We have buses. We have lifts, Whamos, bikes.

[00:16:02]What else do we have?

[00:16:06]Anyway, that that got me thinking. Is that why this little guy's is he working for a human and the human saying, "Go play the banjo, little dog. Go play the banjo for money.

[00:16:19]I'm so darn upset about that horse passing on." And that's not the first horse. It keeps happening. And you think people would say, "This is inhumane.

[00:16:28]Let's not have a damn horse pulling a carriage. You ain't Cinderella.

[00:16:36]Your name's Todd. Todd, get out and walk. Todd, take a taxi.

[00:16:44]I didn't expect to be so passionate on this episode of MCP, but here we are.

[00:16:50]Anyway, this little dog's probably playing the banjo for a human who's wants to exploit him and use him for money. Or the other option is he's just a cute little dog that's maybe working in a place like Dollywood or Silver Dollar City and his job is to dress up in a cute little outfit and play songs for little children and people walking by. That's what I hope. I hope this is consensual.

[00:17:18]Is it consensual, little dog?

[00:17:25]He said, "Yes, yes it is. Yes, yes it is. Yes, yes it is."

[00:17:31]Now, let's see how much it's worth. Cuz really, if we're going to talk about exploiting animals, let me exploit this little toy that someone gave me, and I can't remember. And I'm so sorry. I don't remember who gave it to me. I just have so many, and I can't keep track.

[00:17:49]I'm lucky to even be alive at this point.

[00:17:53]Bubbly cola is such a cute little name.

[00:17:58]All right. Oh, bark it up.

[00:18:04]I'm seeing this little dog being sold on different sites for anywhere from 25 to $30. And that's good.

[00:18:19]This figurine is the Mary Reiner Nadig I pick you for my best friend collection.

[00:18:25]This piece is part of a collection often associated with and goes Mary Moo Moo's line. I don't know what that is, but that ain't a cow, is it? No, that's definitely a dog.

[00:18:37]Wow, this is really cute and really worth a lot of money. So, let me know if you gave this to me and if you would be opposed to me selling it.

[00:18:52]Well, for right now, I'm going to put it over here. Should I do a lead test on it?

[00:18:59]I think because it's worth so much money, it doesn't have lead. So, we're just going to take we're just going to say it doesn't.

[00:19:07]And that'll that'll do it for figuring out the figurine.

[00:19:13]And I don't want to do figuring out the figurine anymore if it's going to remind me of people riding carriages again. Susan Todd, you're not Cinderella. Get a cab.

[00:19:28]the damn guy up in the front, you know, doing this and the damn horse is pulling four to five, six, maybe a,000 pounds.

[00:19:41]The horse sees out of the side of its eye, sees a woman my size coming up and he's going to go and probably run away.

[00:19:51]Jesus, so mad.

[00:20:00]Leave horses alone. Damn.

[00:20:02]All right, let's listen to some voicemails here. This is really exciting.

[00:20:08]Voicemail.

[00:20:12]>> Reset the mood cuz I'm I'm horse crazy right now.

[00:20:21]Alrighty, folks. Let's look here and see.

[00:20:25]We had a bit of a setback because we had Thailand here last week.

[00:20:33]Did you hear that?

[00:20:37]Is that my watch? We had a bit of setback. Annie, of course, came in here.

[00:20:42]Episode 45.

[00:20:44]Episode 46. We had a new stranger. So, she was like, I got to reset. So, it might be episode 80 something where she comes back.

[00:20:54]But we'll see.

[00:20:57]>> Hello.

[00:21:01]Can we buy some raw chicken and some and some cherries?

[00:21:17]>> Okay.

[00:21:19]and and some and um Minnie Mouse toys.

[00:21:35]>> Minnie Mouse toys >> and some everything.

[00:21:43]>> Some everything.

[00:21:47]Bye.

[00:21:48]>> This is a child reaching out to me asking for chicken cherries, Minnie Mouse toys, and everything.

[00:21:56]I'm going to go ahead and call this number back because I need to figure out what the heck's going on with the chicken cherries, Minnie Mouse, and um this is just really weird.

[00:22:09]A child calling out for help.

[00:22:15]H let's see if I can find this number or if I deleted it.

[00:22:21]Hopefully I didn't delete it. It says Okay, here it is. Here. Let me just go ahead and How do I call this?

[00:22:30]Can you buy some chicken and some cherries and hopefully this was not a wrong number because that would be really bad.

[00:22:46]Oh, you ain't going to be able to hear this.

[00:22:51]>> Hi. If you record your name and reason for calling, I'll see if this person is available.

[00:22:57]Hello, my name is Miss Crystal with Miss Crystal's podcast program and I received a call from this number and it sounded like a little child saying, "Can you buy me some chicken, some cherries, some Minnie Mouse toys?"

[00:23:19]>> Miss Crystal, please stay on the line.

[00:23:33]They got their own answering service.

[00:23:34]That is really nice.

[00:23:42]>> I'm sorry. This person is available. If you would like to leave an additional message, please reply after the tone.

[00:23:50]>> Hello, this is Miss Crystal. I'm calling from the Miss Crystal's podcast program and I received a voicemail uh from what sounded like a child saying, "Can you buy me some chicken and cherries, Minnie Mouse toys, and everything?" And I just wanted to make sure that this little child didn't need any food. It was a very specific set of uh things that they wanted. And I'm thinking maybe they're not hungry because she wanted Minnie Mouse toys. So maybe she just wanted Aunt Crystal to buy her some food. So let me know. Uh call back to my voicemail. It is uh 6152000 7183. Have a blessed day.

[00:24:36]So we'll see if anybody.

[00:24:40]And this unfortunately on on this it will not let me receive calls on here.

[00:24:47]I'll just keep this handy and maybe they'll call back and I'll try one more time.

[00:25:02]I don't know why it won't let me hear it.

[00:25:06]It won't let me. So, we'll just keep an eye on that. Maybe they'll maybe they'll call back. Um, and if you're that little child out there and you need some food, let me know and we'll move on to other things here.

[00:25:23]I really thought they were going to answer and I got very excited.

[00:25:28]>> Hey, Miss Crystal, it's Matteline. I hope you can hear me because I'm calling you through my hearing aids. That's right. I'm a potter in North Carolina and I watch a lot of your program while I'm working. I love trailer tales, viral podcasts, anything with you guys, I'm going to watch it. I just wanted to let you know that I had to drive an hour and a half today to my appointment with my vein surgeon and you kept me company on the drive. I'm 26 years old with veins in my legs as big as your ass.

[00:25:58]>> Oh, >> I wear compression hose and hearing aids on a daily basis. That can be discouraging, but sometimes I just have to remember, welcome to getting home, [ __ ] Anyways, you're such a light.

[00:26:12]Your program always lifts me up when life is feeling heavy. And I love you, Miss Crystal. And I'm so proud of you.

[00:26:18]And as Steve would say, keep shining, >> Meline. What a nice message. And the fact that you could use your hearing aids to call?

[00:26:30]You mean to tell me that they have invented a hearing aid where you can call on that's like an AirPod I guess but it's a hearing aid but they still have horses in Central Park and other parts of America pulling humans?

[00:26:49]You means to tell me that you have hearing aids that you can make phone calls on and they are still exploiting horses? Can't they invent a fake horse that just looks like, you know, somebody sits on it like this, but it's a fake robot? They make robots for everything else.

[00:27:13]And you're on your way to the vein doctor, and I tell you what, I was talking about lipidma earlier. Guess what else happens with lipadeema? You get vein insufficiency.

[00:27:24]So now when I walk around without my pants on, people are going to say, "Jesus Christ, what's all over your damn legs?" And it's my veins.

[00:27:35]But thanks for your nice call. That was really wonderful. We're not at 30 yet.

[00:27:41]Jesus Christ. I'm almost done.

[00:27:45]I'm almost freaking done.

[00:27:48]He said, "We'll call it 30. We're going to We're going to press press the thing.

[00:27:51]Hype it up.

[00:27:53]Hype it up. We're at 30 minutes. People are riding carriages in New York City.

[00:28:06]I've said it once and I'll say it one more time. You are not Cinderella.

[00:28:12]You don't need to take a freaking carriage ride, you idiots.

[00:28:16]Sorry I called you idiots. If you didn't know better before, you know better now.

[00:28:21]Oh, Annie is chewing on an object.

[00:28:23]Annie, thank you for your call, Meline.

[00:28:29]>> Hi, Miss Crystal. It's Sarah from Southern California.

[00:28:33]>> Um, just wanted to say how much I love you and adore you and just like the whole trailer gang. Literally changed my life. Love you guys so much.

[00:28:42]>> Wow. Um, my question is, I'm turning 30 in 4 months, and I wanted to know any advice you had for going into my 30s.

[00:28:52]I'm scared, but I'm excited because my 20's wasn't so great. So, any advice you can give me would be great.

[00:28:57]>> Um, be blessed beyond your comprehension. Love you, honeys.

[00:29:03]>> Sarah, her name was Sarah.

[00:29:07]Sarah, advice going into your 30s. And if you haven't learned this yet, stop giving a flying what anybody thinks about what you're doing, what you're going to do, as long as you're not hurting anybody. Just stop caring what people think and then you'll truly be free.

[00:29:30]As the great late Reverend Martin Luther King said once, I can't remember what he said. It was something about free at last. Free at last.

[00:29:48]Oh my god, we're free at last.

[00:29:51]and he was referring to civil rights and not someone turning 30, but it's the same kind of concept.

[00:30:01]Be free from the shackles of worrying about what other people think. Be free from um being held down by saying things like, "Well, I can't do this now that I'm 30. Well, guess what? I didn't start doing internet stuff till I was 40."

[00:30:19]Don't ever say you you can't do something because of your age. Now me, I can't do gymnastics because of my age.

[00:30:28]And that's just a part of life. If I wanted to do gymnastics, I should have started when when I was a child.

[00:30:35]Um, you have to be reasonable, but if you can dream it, you can do it.

[00:30:42]And I don't know if a person already said that. Also, uh I don't know if you're a part of the gay agenda like I am or not. If you have a man, woman, or somebody, um and they're saying things like you're a piece of or you're not good enough, you need to just drop them.

[00:31:06]Don't waste another day cuz you're in your 30s. People are living to what 70, 80, 90. You're halfway there.

[00:31:14]Don't waste another moment on some bozo.

[00:31:18]Annie.

[00:31:20]Annie's chewing on an object.

[00:31:23]I get hyperfixated when I see the furbo is like Annie's doing this. Then I get hyperfixated on what she's doing.

[00:31:30]Also, uh that's all the advice I have.

[00:31:36]And just shower daily. You know, you got to wash behind your ears.

[00:31:40]I was about it about maybe six months ago.

[00:31:45]Somebody's like, "You got to wash behind your ears." And no one ever taught me that. So now I wash behind my ears.

[00:31:54]Thank you for your call, though. May you be blessed beyond your comprehension. And I'm still looking to see if that little child calls back. And I'm starting to think it was a wrong number. And I've thoroughly freaked them out. All righty.

[00:32:16]>> Okay. What?

[00:32:20]>> That's the whole call and sound like a man in the background saying why the would you say that? We don't want to hear from this guy again.

[00:32:30]>> He said you need to stay out. So whoever that guy is do not know.

[00:32:38]do not know. And I'm going to try to call them one more time.

[00:32:43]And what if they say, "Stop calling me."

[00:32:47]I just think it's worth it. I don't want a child to go hungry.

[00:32:53]You know who we can check in with? I'm going to check in with Harold.

[00:33:12]Wow. Doesn't answer the phone. Calls me 40 times a day and doesn't answer the Nobody is calling me or answering me.

[00:33:25]>> Your call has been forwarded to >> Your call has been forwarded to my butt.

[00:33:56]Thank you for being a Miss Crystal's YouTube crystal. A lot of people been commenting lately as always the nicest damn things that you could ever comment and I appreciate y'all. Patreon is Christina Denton.

[00:34:16]Thanks for being on Patreon.

[00:34:18]You are really a blessing to us and everyone else.

[00:34:25]All right, let's go ahead and listen to this.

[00:34:30]Miss Crystal, Stars and Stripes. This is Kylie from Bluffton, South Carolina. I just wanted to share with you that I love your program. I look forward to it every Monday. It's very relaxing and very enjoyable. I love your set. I love your decor. Which brings me to a very important question.

[00:34:51]>> I too am a fan of the precious moments and I enjoy your figuring out the figurine. My question is, were precious moments created and they just thought they were so precious that they created precious moments out of the figurine >> or did they go in creating a precious moment with a figurine. Just was pondering that thought. Anyway, may you also be blessed to be on comprehension and keep doing what you're doing. It's amazing. It's great stuff. We need more of you, Miss Crystal, in this world.

[00:35:25]Much love from South Carolina. Peace out. Much love. Bye-bye, Kylie. What a very nice call. And I I love how you started it with Miss Crystal, Stars and Stripes, because I want to listen to that part again.

[00:35:45]>> Miss Crystal, Stars and Stripes. This is >> just the excitement. Miss Crystal, stars and stripes. It made me think of, and this is just the vibe, and I don't know if you do this, you ever have that friend on Facebook who's selling uh MLN products, whether it be leggings, makeup, uh Tupperware, and they make videos. And I'm not saying that you do this. This is the vibe that I got. Hello, my girls. I'm selling dot dot dot. Well, actually, they don't start it off like that because you turn it off. Hey, my girls, are you looking for work from home situation because your kids need you to be home more?

[00:36:33]Hey, my girls, are you looking for to be a a independent contractor? Well, I've got the thing for you. All you have to do is buy $50,000 worth of this product and then sell it to all your friends.

[00:36:47]That is the vibe I was getting from that >> Miss Crystal Stars and Stripes or or a very nice uh children's program where it's like boys and girls today is July 4th, stars and I mean the voice I got to listen to one more time and I I want to make a a sound bite of it.

[00:37:19]>> Miss Crystal, stars and stripes. This is Kylie. I have no idea why you said that, but it just brought me so much joy.

[00:37:32]So, the joy that you've told me you get from me, you just quadrupled that joy right back to me. Miss Crystal, stars and stripes.

[00:37:44]Even Aiden over there giggling.

[00:37:47]The question posed to me was, "Did the did the creators say, "Okay, you got the precious moments guy. He's at the board meeting table and he's like, "All right, guys. This is what we're going to do. We're going to make these cute little figurines that are praying. They love the Lord. They got big eyes. And they're going to be called Precious Moments."

[00:38:13]or were they in the boardroom after they made the product and then the guy goes, "I know what we're gonna call them."

[00:38:24]Follow me here. I know what we're going to call them. We're going to call them precious moments.

[00:38:30]And I don't know the answer to this.

[00:38:32]Being one of the world's biggest Precious Moment fans, I don't know the answer to this. And I don't know that knowing this answer would affect my life in any way because whether it was before or after, they're still precious to me.

[00:38:54]They're precious if they were precious from the start or after.

[00:39:00]Because you can't look at one of these.

[00:39:02]Let's look at one.

[00:39:06]You can't look at this.

[00:39:09]little child sitting on a a little bucket and he's pooping or peeing. You can't look at that and say, "I would have liked you if you had been precious moments from the start and not after."

[00:39:23]Or vice versa. You're going to look at this and say, I think of my childhood and my innocence, and I think of having a little teddy bear and saying, "When's my mama going to come home?

[00:39:43]Is she ever coming home?"

[00:39:46]And um so that's what I that's what I that's my opinion on that. And I don't know, maybe Kylie, you could write a letter to the to the Precious Moments LLC and say, "Hey, how did this all start?"

[00:40:00]And I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. And I don't know if there's a Precious Moments hotline.

[00:40:08]I'm going to see Precious Moments Hotline.

[00:40:14]I'm just wanting to be on the phone.

[00:40:16]That's all it is. I just want to be on the phone today.

[00:40:20]There is a precious moment's customer care and we're going to go ahead and call that real quick. See what they say.

[00:40:37]One day I'm going to learn how to work this phone.

[00:40:40]I tell you that much.

[00:40:43]Okay, I'm pasting the number there and it's a 866 number.

[00:40:49]Holy [ __ ] The calls are they are calling.

[00:40:56]Representatives are available to help you with your orders. Product inquiries from 9:00 to 5:00. Well, it should be open.

[00:41:05]Why the hell didn't they answer?

[00:41:09]I am so angry right now.

[00:41:13]The fact that it was busy.

[00:41:16]Okay, let me go here and try this call again. If it's busy, I'm going to absolutely lose it cuz that means it's not my day for calling people.

[00:41:26]The Precious Moments hotline, which is 866, you could call it too. 866 3362554 is busy, which means either two things.

[00:41:41]They have been inundated with so many calls that they have no more open lines or they only have one little old lady sitting there and she's already on the phone with somebody else who has a question about precious moments.

[00:41:57]And Kylie, if you want to just write that number down and maybe call it on your own.

[00:42:06]It says we'd love to hear from you.

[00:42:08]Well, I hate to say this, Precious Moments. That's [ __ ] I'm not sending an email because I ain't got time for that.

[00:42:20]I am so angry right now. I've never been this angry.

[00:42:30]>> Hey, Miss Crystal, I just thought I'd call in and share something with you. I saw in one of your episodes you said nothing makes you happier than when people tell you something reminds them of you. So I made a list of all the things that remind me of you ever since I started listening to your podcast program. All right, here here it goes.

[00:42:48]So this reminds me of you. Score candy bars. Little House on the Prairie Horses Sonic Scooters at Walmart. Fantastic fans, Coke Zero, Dline, Bad Bunny, Tupperware, plastic containers in general, Neopolitan ice cream, John Seamos, Worther's original candies, Chuck Cheese, Precious Moments figurines, factor meals, unicorns, cats, when people honk, horns and scar music, decorative toilet paper covers, and Cabbage patch dolls. There may be more, but but that's all I have on my list.

[00:43:33]Stay blessed beyond your comprehension.

[00:43:36]Love you.

[00:43:37]>> Good lord.

[00:43:40]That just made me so damn happy. And you know why? It's because somebody's paying attention to me. That's all we want. We want somebody to really see us. And she I don't think this person said her name.

[00:43:54]I'm going to check.

[00:43:56]>> Hey, Miss Crystal. I just thought I'd call in and share something with you. I saw in one of your episodes >> you didn't say you you're from 304 area code.

[00:44:06]All we really want in this world is maybe five things, but these are two of them. We want to be loved and we want somebody to see us.

[00:44:17]Really see us.

[00:44:20]And you named off so many damn things that really tickled me. That means you're paying attention and you see me and I hope and pray I even want this for safety man that you have somebody in your life that sees you the way this gal just saw me.

[00:44:45]And I don't even know her.

[00:44:48]We never met.

[00:44:51]I mean, she named every damn thing I like.

[00:44:55]That is wild. And I wonder if she wrote it down or if she had that memory. It doesn't matter.

[00:45:02]Let me look up 304. I still can't believe Precious Moments didn't freaking answer. That is insane.

[00:45:11]304 is from West Virginia. Huh. That's interesting because that other call, the chicken call, it's not the same.

[00:45:26]Okay, let me just do this here. What What time are we at over there, Aiden?

[00:45:32]What What um you said star 69 or 67 since we want to be calling people today.

[00:45:51]Well, this number is very much like mine.

[00:46:02]Greetings from West Virginia. I'm with Louis and Sasha and they both say hi.

[00:46:08]Leave us a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Have a great day.

[00:46:12]Bye.

[00:46:14]Hey there, my name is Miss Chris. Hey there. Hey there, my name's Miss Crystal and you didn't you left me a voicemail but didn't say your name and I just wanted to say that I'm filming episode 47 and you really tickled me with your voicemail and it made me so happy because you named everything that I like and I I was saying to everyone else we want a few things in life. One of them is we want to be loved and the second is we want to be seen and I feel like you really saw me and I appreciate that and I want to let you know that you should be blessed beyond your comprehension. So have a nice day and sorry I had to call you on star 67 cuz I you probably thought I'm a bill collector or spammer and I kind of am.

[00:47:05]You know I'm just calling random people today. So, uh, I I'll talk to you later.

[00:47:11]Love you so much. Bye-bye.

[00:47:14]She going to think that was a prank.

[00:47:17]And I don't answer any calls that are not identified. No one does anymore. But I can't call her from my regular number cuz she might try blowing me up at night.

[00:47:27]Meaning blowing up my phone, not blowing me up.

[00:47:31]And I can't have that because I'm trying to get peace and quiet. Okay.

[00:47:36]Well, let's listen to one more, then we'll be done for the day.

[00:47:44]>> Hi, Miss Crystal.

[00:47:46]>> Oh, sexy. This is Jennifer from Alaska, >> and I just wanted to know if you've ever Well, I have two questions.

[00:47:55]>> Oh, wow.

[00:47:55]>> Have you one, have you ever timeraveled, and two, when you did it, have you ever seen a dinosaur?

[00:48:02]And even if you haven't timeraveled, in the realms that you are in um that you frequent on a regular basis, um have you ever seen a dinosaur and could you tell us more about what they actually look like? Thank you, Miss Crystal, and may you be blessed beyond your comprehension.

[00:48:20]>> Thank you so much, Jennifer, for your question. The question posed was, "Have I ever timeraveled?

[00:48:26]And when I did, have I ever seen a dinosaur?"

[00:48:29]And I don't know if that is a insult to me saying I'm so old that I was alive when dinosaurs, but um I have never seen a dinosaur. I have seen dinosaur bones. I have seen pictures of dinosaurs, but I don't know. I've never timeraveled. That's what I'm trying to say. I want to time travel. One of the first stops that I would make is Scotland 1700s. Hands down.

[00:48:59]Maybe the next stop would be a dinosaur.

[00:49:01]But if I was going to go back to dinosaur times, I would have to get one of those. So when you know when people go in the ocean to look at sharks and they have them cages, I'd have to be in a cage like that. A huge one that a T-Rex couldn't lift up cuz a dinosaur will kill you.

[00:49:21]Maybe not the the the uh herbivores cuz you know they got them flat teeth. They only eat leaves. But a T-Rex with them sharp teeth, they would definitely eat you. And if he sees me walking around, he's going to think I'm a tasty meal.

[00:49:40]Or another option is to get a huge like a tank or something and have a camera.

[00:49:46]You know how they had the cameras right here, but it actually went up? And that would be another way to view it. But it would have to be big enough where a bronosaurus, a T-Rex couldn't pick it up and throw you.

[00:50:00]Um, but I'll let you know. If I ever get a chance to time travel, y'all will be the first to know.

[00:50:07]But thank you for your question, Jennifer. And may you be blessed beyond your comprehension.

[00:50:13]And I'm going to take a quick thumbnail.

[00:50:21]It's stain shirt.

[00:50:44]All right. And those are some pretty cool poses today. And shout out to Crystal's Tooth for giving me this.

[00:50:50]Isn't it cute?

[00:50:54]Okay. And and as always, may you be blessed beyond your comprehension.

[00:51:02]Have a good day. Bye-bye.
