When Malcolm Goodwin reached out to thank Victoria for saving his friend's life, it reinforced exactly why the Contagious Smile podcast exists. "I'm not looking for praise or notoriety," Victoria shares with raw honesty. "When I went through this and was laying on the floor bleeding, not wanting to get up, I wished someone could say 'I've got you. You're not alone.'" That connection – knowing someone understands your darkest moments – can transform a tiny remaining spark into a wildfire of healing.
This episode unveils exciting new developments, including Victoria joining Cameo as talent (at just $10 per video) and the creation of the Stucco Squad community, named after Victoria's beloved service dog. The Squad will offer special merchandise including hospital-friendly bracelets for children and families navigating medical challenges. Michael and Victoria's natural, sometimes hilarious banter reveals why their authenticity resonates with millions of listeners worldwide, propelling their podcast into the top 2% globally.
The heart of their mission shines through stories of impact – how Victoria's memoir "Who Kicked First" took a decade to write due to fear but ultimately saved lives, and how her domestic violence advocacy creates practical safety plans for those in danger. Their work extends beyond trauma to celebrate relationships that heal, like Michael's special father-daughter bond with Faith, showcased through weekly movie nights and playful pranks that balance the heavier topics with genuine joy.
Whether you're a survivor seeking connection, a parent navigating challenges, or someone wanting to understand trauma's impact, the Contagious Smile podcast offers a rare blend of unflinching honesty and hopeful perspective. Join the Stucco Squad community on Facebook to participate in upcoming events, contests, and receive updates on their initiatives that turn pain into purpose and isolation into belonging.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm going to put him in there with me.
Announce the cameo.
Nothing's been told.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So cameo reached out to my wife, my darling sexy
Victoria Curie wife, to become atalent, I don't know why she
accepted.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I do not know why.
I am not in the league with thepeople that are on Cameo.
Can I just say that?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's a lot of actors, a lot of old actors that
you know I grew up watching onthere, a lot of the young that I
don't have a clue.
I'm sorry, don't take offense,but you know folks like, hey,
buddy, come here.
Uh, when you have folks likelou diamond phillips call up
your wife, you know it's not togo out on a date but it's to
(04:10):
congratulate her and to, youknow, give a heartfelt uh, thank
you of what you're doing andspreading the message of, you
know, the special needscommunity and dev survivors,
malcolm goodwin, know that'sfreaking awesome.
You know I'm proud to have awife like that.
So, yeah, now that she's outthere on Cameo, y'all reach out
(04:32):
to her.
Oh, it costs money.
Well, folks, it goes for a danggood cause.
Oh, hold on.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
No, I got to interrupt because, okay, caitlyn
Jenner is like $2,500, right,and I had to explain to my
husband, redneck Cartnell, whoCaitlyn Jenner was.
He had no idea.
So he can't give me crap aboutnot knowing who any of the
Superman people are when youdon't know who Caitlyn, aka,
previously known as Bruce Jenner, was.
(04:59):
So he's like $2,500.
She is.
I truly had a faux pas.
She is $2,500.
A, he's like 2500.
She's so sorry.
I truly had a faux pas.
She is 2500.
Faux pas, yeah.
And then, like, jennifergardner is a thousand dollars.
She's so pretty.
I think she's pretty.
Then you have people like um,who else is like everybody's on
(05:19):
there, I'm.
I'm just like, why am I even inthis mix?
Because I don't belong.
And so right now, because I'mwet behind the ears, new at this
cameo thing, I'm only askingfor $10 for a video and I can
reach out to you and send you ahappy birthday, feel better,
some advice, some pep talk,whatever the case may be.
(05:43):
Advice, some pep talk, whateverthe case may be.
You know, I've been looking atthe rules and stuff of Cameo and
most people leave anywhere fromlike 30 seconds to two minutes.
The first video that I got as arequest.
I think I did six minutes,because we all know I'm a talker
, and then I had another one andI think I did four and a half
minutes, something like that.
So it's well worth the $10 andit goes to a good cause, um,
(06:05):
also.
But then there's like all thesepeople on it and I am, I'm
starstruck, starstruck,completely starstruck, and then,
um, it's an amazing opportunity.
I, I, still, I.
I hope they don't wake up andrealize they made a mistake
allowing me on here, because Iam nowhere near the caliber of
any of these other people thatI'm amongst the honor of being
(06:26):
with.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's all.
Well, I think we should putStucco on there.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He'll be on there with me.
I'll put him in some of thevideos.
Can we put him on there?
No, he has to have his ownfollowing first.
You said there's dogs on there.
There is, there's like the dogof TikTok, let's get Stucco on
there.
We have to have him have hisown following.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Stucco, you're about to become a superstar.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
He is a superstar.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And you're only three .
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Hey, so that's that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So big event in May, cameo.
Thank you, cameo.
Thank you, lou, for reachingout to the wife.
Speaker 2 (06:59):

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, we got to from David Arquette from Scream oh,
that's right, yeah, we gotta getto him.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
When's he coming on?
I'm not sure, but and you heardfrom someone else, gentleman
named John, who was the janitorin the Breakfast Club, one of my
favorite movies ever he, youknow, is gonna come on the
podcast, the old Breakfast.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Club, didn't they make a new one?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
No, there's only one original.
There's only one original.
It had Anthony Michael Hall andEmilio Estreves and John.
Speaker 1 (07:33):

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Look at that connection.
That's awesome.
Molly Ringwald yeah, he was thejanitor.
He also played in a ton ofother movies and shows and he
will be coming on, which I'm soungodly honored and just oh, I'm
starstruck.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I am.
So let me put a shameless plugout there.
You do those, I don't.
I do Because my wife sits hereat this computer about 21, 22
hours a day, right Given thatthis past storm knocked out the
internet for like three days.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Which was great because the family had video
games.
It was wonderful, which I am soagainst.
Anyway, she puts a lot of timeinto this.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Y'all, y'all.
And I'd just like to say, ify'all are wanting to come on our
show, write to us.
Uh, our email is everywhere outthere.
We're on like 30 differentplatforms.
Um, some of her favorite peopleshe would love to get on the
show.
If y'all have contacts outthere, johnny depp okay explain
(08:43):
why okay wait, wait, wait, waitwait.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm going to interrupt you only for one
reason I love you with everymilliscule of my body.
The reason yes, he's a fabulous, amazing actor, but that's not
the reason.
I don't want people to be like,oh, she's starstruck by Johnny
Depp, he's one of her, whatever.
No, this man, in my eyes, is ahero.
I actually, when I worked myfamily will tell you that I have
videos in the backgroundplaying and when he went through
(09:09):
the domestic violence trial, Iknew just by his mannerisms,
just by the way he spoke.
I mean, he publicly came outand said I will never look at
her again.
And when he was on trial, hedidn't look at her when and said
I will never look at her again.
And when he was on trial, hedidn't look at her.
When he sat just literallylaterally across from her, he
(09:31):
never looked her way, right, hegot on the stand.
And where the other person goton the stand, total, complete
different dispositions, right,there was not a question.
Now, everybody knows johnnydepp's had his ups and downs and
everything.
So is everybody else right.
(09:51):
But this man, anywhere he goesand he travels, forget
everything else.
Take everything else out of theequation.
He's not an actor, he's not asurvivor.
He's not any of this.
This human being, this amazinghuman being.
For this reason alone, everytime he travels anywhere, he
takes jack sparrow's costumewith him.
Everywhere he goes, captainjack sparrow, I'm his twin
(10:14):
sister, by the way.
Uh, johnny, I'm your twin,because he goes into the
hospitals and he just wants togo see kids and make them smile.
That's all he wants, and hedoesn't want to make a deal
about it.
He doesn't want the publicityof it, whatever.
You know none of that.
It is a wonderful human beingwho cares about the smile of
(10:50):
these kids face and for thatreason alone, I would love the
opportunity and honor tointerview him Now.
Put on top of it all the amazingthings that this human being
does.
Okay, he is a survivor,survivor, he's a thriver.
You could tell by looking athim when he left court.
Every single day, he walked outand thanked every single
(11:11):
officer of the court.
He walked out and like, didn'tjust shake hands, he held their
hands and the body image, thebody language, talked so loudly
about him.
Right, you hear all thesehorrible things about him, but
then you watch him, like how heinteracts and how he treats
people and he is just afive-star, stellar human being.
(11:33):
That's all I gotta say about ityou have a lot to say about him
.
I have diarrhea in the mouth,fine, whatever, but he is such a
true soul and that's so hard tofind, especially out in
Hollywood, and for him to be soauthentic.
I mean, it resonates so deeplywith me and I'm his twin because
I just recently lost an arm andI could play his sister just
(11:57):
saying that's it, go ahead.
So, johnny Depp.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So let's get Johnny Depp on this show y'all.
Okay, Make this woman happy.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You make me happy.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, nobody can make me happy.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
James.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Spader, I've come so close.
I've come so close but Ihaven't been able to.
James Spader, you rememberthose commercials like 10 years
ago, where it's like the woman'soutside her favorite store and
it's open, open, open, open,open open and she can't get into
the other side of the store.
That's where I am with JamesSpader, because I've been so
(12:33):
close.
I had the privilege and honorof tutoring, as a writer, the
writers of the Blacklist's niece, right, I tutored her to help
her get into writing school andI'm just not that person that's
like hey, wink, wink, nudge,nudge, I can't do it, I won't do
(12:53):
it well, you had a mirror on oh, he's another five star human
being which played a rom, a rom,a rom on the blacklist, I
believe the first season heplayed all nine.
He played eight, played eightseasons.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I didn't finish.
I don't think I got past seasonfive.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
No, he played up to like eight and a half seasons.
He was an amazing actor,amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
He's got a very romantic side, from what I could
tell.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
He is a stellar human being and he's doing Broadway.
Yes, he is just a stellar human.
So, and not just that, my, mynew friend, who emailed me and
reached out today, who was onthe breakfast club, played on
the blacklist.
Yeah, yeah, he was on there, hewas on an episode.
So I'm like there but not there, and I refuse to put that card
(13:44):
and say to somebody that I'vebecome friends with or that has
reached out to us to thank usfor what we do, to say, hey, by
the way, could you give me a?
I can't do it.
That's not who I am, right, Ican't I can't God.
Okay, and it's the dispositionand character of James Spader in
(14:06):
the blacklist it was RaymondReddington, like that reminds me
so much of you All women thathave been through any kind of
domestic violence.
I'm telling you because whenFaith was little, the show
started and I had it on recordor whatever you know, and I
didn't sleep then, like I don'tsleep now, and she couldn't
(14:26):
sleep one night and I waslooking through the DVR and if
you don't know what those wordsare, you'll have to go look them
up because we're old and I'mlike looking and looking and I'm
like there's nothing on TV.
So I go through and I'm lookingat the DVR and I'm like I have
like eight episodes of the show,the Blacklist, and I couldn't
remember why I even startedrecording it, like you know, and
so I was like okay, whatever,so I turn it on.
(14:47):
Thank god I found it when I did, because had I just watched
that first episode and I had towait seven more days for the
second it, it would have beenugly, because the first episode,
as you know, because you saw itwas so good, you are hooked and
I'm like, okay, this is.
(15:09):
You know, james spader was madefor this role and this show was
made for james spader period.
Nobody else a could have donethis position, this role.
Nobody would have had theseries last as long as it did.
And then I go back and I'mlooking.
I'm like that's that actor whoplayed all the bratty roles in
(15:30):
the 80s 16 candles, themannequin, I believe he also
played in stargate, which issci-fi I don't know, I didn't
see it and I'm looking at it,going no way.
So of course I pull up and I seeyou know him and I'm like I
want to look at his biographyand I'm like he was in the movie
with Estelle Getty who Iworship from the Golden Girls,
(15:50):
from Mannequin, and I'm likewhat, that is not the same guy,
right, they don't even look thesame at all at all.
And I remember seeing thosemovies and I was like I wasn't
fond of him back then, right,but now raymond reddington, oh
my god, every the way, the firstepisode if you haven't seen it,
(16:13):
mute me for a moment.
I was like that's his daughter,right off the bat.
That's his daughter.
I was not a big fan of thecharacter elizabeth keen,
because how are you an fbiprofiler and you don't know or
how to scratch your watch orwind your butt right, she could
do nothing without Raymond, likeeverything had to be from
Raymond.
Raymond was always saving her,constantly saving her, and he
(16:37):
never hurt anybody who didn'tneed to get hurt and I know I'm
gonna get crap for that but likehe hurt people who hurt the
ones he loved.
Yes, he was manipulative andokay and but he was a bad guy
but he didn't hurt the goodpeople, he only hurt the bad
people, right.
And he was like the reason whyour judicial system sucks and he
was like the founding ha-haperson for it.
(16:59):
That fixed everything.
So you watch Raymond Reddingtonand you watch episode after
episode where he goes in and hegets these bad guys that just
hurt people, right, that reallyhurt people.
And frank was on there, the guywho wished you a happy 50th.
He was on the blacklist, was aplace to be and, like you just
watch it and then you learnabout dembe and his story and
(17:20):
it's oh, and you fall in lovewith the blacklist.
And then it's like I used toget so upset because it would go
on hiatus for like three monthsand it was so upsetting and I
was just like I'm a specialneeds mom, I'm a special needs
person myself and when my childis asleep and I'm watching her
on these machines, I need me alittle Raymond Reddington and I
(17:41):
would watch these in his littlefedora and I would think, oh my
God, that's my Michael, right,like, like, because the way you
act and the way he acts are sosimilar in so many ways and it
was his disposition and demeanorthat I found so alluring.
And it's the same with you,like, it's the way you acted,
right.
So I'm just saying, and it wasamazing, and I even got faith
(18:02):
hooked on it, and amir washilarious.
He was like you're a littleyoung to watch the blacklist,
but Faith is so wise behind heryears anyway, right, and she
loved Aram.
She'd walk around because atthe time she had apraxia and you
can't pronounce a lot of wordsand she has a non-functional
tongue and her anatomy in hermouth is small, right.
So she'd walk around and hisname on the show was Aram
(18:26):
Mushdabai and she'd go AramMushdabai and it was the cutest
thing ever and she was likethat's her favorite.
She loved Aram just as much asRaymond and she's like Mom,
raymond's yours, I'll get Aram.
Okay, that's fine, she lovedboth of them.
But she'd always be like I'mAram, I'm Aram, I rom, I'm a rom
(18:49):
rom, unless you try to rollours so cute.
And the first time we ever heardfrom a rom, he sent her the
sweetest ever video, talkingabout she was getting ready to
have her 34th surgery and he waslike ain't nothing but a
chicken wing, ain't nothing, youknow.
And then what was itValentine's.
We're sitting at the table andI'm like, faith, you just got an
email from a ROM wishing you ahappy Valentine's Day.
(19:11):
And I looked at you and I waslike, are you kidding me?
This year's a ROM, you know,saying I'm thinking about you
and how are you doing?
You were on my mind Last yearDermot Mulroney, best friend's
wedding, chicago Fire PD.
Chicago Fire Captain sends Faitha message and asks her to be
(19:33):
his valentine.
I mean, really, these are likethe elite people and I'm like
I'm so there but not there.
So now that everybody's like,yep, victoria has diarrhea of
the mouth, I'm gonna let Michaelgo back and continue to explain
this and explain more about ourstucco squad, which everybody
(19:54):
is welcome to join.
I mean, kermit's an honorarymember and Spider-Man wants to

It's different from viewsthey're not the same because
this is all audio.
Well, we could go, we could govideo.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Uh, well, I don't want to scare people on youtube
it's not halloween.
This is on the youtube I meanvideo on youtube no, but people
put in their keywords, not justaudio.
And then they do whatever, theydon't watch it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So she's done this and she's got our podcast in the
top 2% globally of the mostlistened to podcasts.
Y'all, she knows what she'sdoing.
Get in on these classes, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And they're cost affordable.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
They're a drop in the bucket on what you should be
charging Each of her classes.
Her class is no less than a$500 master class.
Okay, and she is.
I mean, it's nothing, it'salmost nothing.
It's something, but it's almostnothing.
Well, it's also outrageous forthe platform that we paid to
(24:28):
house it y'all, what she doesworks okay.
She has facts to prove it.
She has numbers to prove it.
Oh, okay, are you going toargue with all these celebrities
calling her ask, look at your,look at your itinerary.
Do you have all thesecelebrities calling you out of
the blue eating dinner?
You know you got.
You got Lou Diamond calling.
(24:49):
You got all these other folksjust out of the blue.
I'm like, babe, are we payingthese folks to call us Like?
No, they just call us likeMalcolm Goodwin.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Well, hold, on Somebody he knew Right.
There's a story behind that.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Okay, here's a mic.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
No, here's my mic.
Malcolm Goodwin plays in thereacher and I zombie and the
breakout kings and severalothers.
But somebody reached out to himand told them that I help them
through a life alteringsituation and the one consistent
(25:27):
thing is that I will neverdisclose geographics or your
name, um, and I always do followup and I end up staying pretty
connected to everyone that Iwork with and I have I mean, my
husband will tell you, 10o'clock at night, two o'clock in
the morning, I'll have somebodyreach out and I will stop and
and reach back and start talkingwith them and, honestly, they
(25:50):
knew Malcolm and Malcolm reachedout thanking me for helping his
friend.
And when you're dealing withpeople and these situations, you
have no idea who they are right, and it doesn't matter to me
who you are, it matters that Ihelp you.
That's the whole premise of it.
And he said I just want tothank you because you saved
(26:12):
their life.
And not only did you save theirlife but, like you, literally
still follow through and talkwith them and you're who you are
, you're genuine and because ofthat, now you have a listener
and a fan in me and I'm likewhat?
Because that's not why I dothis.
I do this because I know whatit's like to be alone.
I know what it's like to gothrough this alone and want to
give up and realize that you'reletting them win and they're not
(26:34):
worth it.
So you're much better than thatand even when you think the
tiniest spark is all you haveleft within you, I'm going to
show you that that spark isgoing to set a wildfire I mean,
and it can and going to set awildfire, I mean, and it can.
And you just need that positivelift right and then I'll even
help you through your healingjourney.
I'm not a medical doctor.
(26:54):
I still tell everybody theyneed to go and get therapists
and counseling and things likethat, but I give you tips that
have worked for me, that haveworked for others.
I don't tell you to get out,but you do need a plan.
You know I help you get one incase and whenever you are ready,
things that can help keep youas safe as humanly possible
during the time that you'rethere.
(27:14):
But still, these are all thingsthat I didn't have available to
me, and if one nugget from onething saves your life, then God
bless it.
Everything we do is for a reason, and that's just why, and for
him to have reached out and justsaid thank you.
That meant more to me than hewill ever know, because I'm not.
(27:36):
Obviously we're not doing itfor the money, because we've
been funding this out of our ownpocket from inception right.
But to know that somebody waslike what they did saved me and
they were talking about it tosomeone else, and for them to be
so moved by that person to sayyou know what I'm so glad they
did what they did.
I'm going to reach out andthank them myself.
(27:57):
Right, his message to me was sogenuine.
He didn't say I was asked to dothis or, you know, I felt the
need to do this.
He said I wanted to personallyreach out and thank you for
saving my friend and because youdid this, you now have a fan in
me.
I've listened to your podcast.
I, you know, checked out whatyou are, what you do and who you
are, and that means everythingI mean.
(28:19):
The only additional positive Isee is spreading the word so
that more people know about usand how to find us and how to
utilize our resources to helpthem.
In turn, right, I'm not lookingto like.
You know, whatever you want toconsider, I'm not trying to be
the 18 year old TikTok, you know, phenomenon superstar that is
(28:41):
doing it because they want thepraise and the notion and the
notoriety.
I don't want it for that reason.
I want it because when I wentthrough this and I'm laying on
the floor bleeding and I don'teven want to get up, I can say
someone else has got me, I'm notalone.
You know, I could put my hearingaids in.
I could not a word.
And I can turn on one of ourpodcasts and I can hear survivor
(29:04):
stories, or I can listen toMichael and Victoria, or I can
hear survivor stories, or I canlisten to Michael and Victoria,
or I can listen to Dana and Iand I can go and say, oh my God,
that's exactly like what I'mgoing through.
I am not alone.
I'm not alone and it makes sucha huge difference and it makes
you feel like I can fight this,I can beat this, I can overcome
(29:25):
this, and then my voice and mystory matter and it's going to
help somebody else along the way.
So I know.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Diary of the mouth no , no, um, also in the past.
Uh, victoria, cure, that's howyou pronounce her name, it's
like pure a with a c right, um,she wrote her memoir, uh, in the
form of a book that sheself-published some years ago
called who Kicked First, and oneof the readers got a hold of
(29:54):
her book and stated your booksaved my life.
Now you know that book may havetook, I don't know, 10 years in
the making.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It did because I was petrified to come out.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But that one simple statement was what made it worth
it, right, absolutely, to sitthere and write it down.
And so, yeah, that's awesome,you know, to have something to
come back to you and say, hey,because you did this, it saved
my, or it saved the life of mydaughter, because you know, yeah
(30:32):
, wow.
So my wife's the real deal,y'all.
She, she went through hell andback and my daughter's been
through hell what death's bud acouple times more than a couple.
And, uh, our little girl, faith, she's a fighter.
If y'all ever follow us on onfacebook or tiktok, y'all hear
(30:53):
about faith.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
She's a little everybody loves her everything
and we're not saying thatbecause we're biased Hell kicker
.
Everybody loves her.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
She's a pain in my butt.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You're just mad because my husband love of my
life and soulmate the other dayremember I'm an amputee I'm
trying to fold clothes, which Ido, I do, and he gives me a
shirt and says hang this up.
So I do, I do.
And he gives me a shirt andsays hang this up.
So I do.
And then he takes it off thehanger and I'm like do you know
what that did for me to do it?
(31:24):
And he calls Faith in and sayshang this up for me.
And I'm like what Just hung thisup, this is because I'm a
horrible liar and I can't getaway with anything hangs it on
the hanger and hands it to himand he goes ah, like some,
whatever.
And I looked over and I'm likewhat, what's the problem?
(31:45):
And he goes now I know whichone of you two buttons the
button okay, well, let's not benewton here for a minute and
realize that it does take anextra minute for me to button
buttons.
And you look over her and yougo do you know that's a button
of mine, that you buttoned mybuttons?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Because I hate it.
I hate it.
Just because it's a buttoneddown shirt does not mean it has
to go on the hanger with everybutton on there.
It's a pain in the butt for usguys to unbutton them.
We just want to throw the shirton and go.
I don't care if they'reunbuttoned.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
So what was the premise of what you said to her?
Do not.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I said from now on, because it's an inconvenience
and it's a hassle and it's abutton, a pet peeve of mine do
not button any of my shirts andput them on a hanger, or my
britches.
She zips up my britches andbuttons them now, oh, lord.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
these two, as you know, are the pranksters of the
millennium.
Like they're crazy about theirpranks on each other.
They both have stuff in the inthe woodwork in the pipeline
right now.
So he said don't you do itagain?
So abby's on her way here andand will be here in a few weeks
Yay, abby.
And she's already like well, hesaid Faith couldn't do it.
(33:03):
He didn't say I couldn't do it,and not only that, but he told
her very specifically do not dothis to my shirt or to my pants.
Well, we learned years ago thatMichael has to have his socks
even a certain way.
We learned years ago thatMichael has to have his socks
even a certain way.
So our lovely child is going todo what you hate to every
(33:26):
single pair of socks that youown.
Great, because you didn'tspecify socks, she's on down
black.
No, she's rolling them andputting them in a knot.
Oh hell no, you said no toshirts and pants.
You didn't say anything aboutthe socks.
Okay, I'll get her back.
So she, why do you think allyour socks went missing?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
and she actually did laundry ask her today if she saw
that brand new pack of socksthat's because she's rolling
them and tying them up.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
This is why I love the pranks that they do.
They're fantastic, they'reawesome, but they push each
other's buttons all day long.
Yes, they do, and it'shysterical because this is how
they are.
This is the love they have foreach other, but you've never
seen such love as you do whenyou see the two of them.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
They're amazing.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I mean they are, and it cracks me up because she says
to me oh my god, he gets on myever laughing last nerve, like.
And then she's like but ifanybody ever even looked at him
wrong, I'm, I'm gouging the eyeslike she's, like that's my dad
and the only person who canannoy him is me.
I mean it's hilarious like the,the banter between the two of
(34:38):
you, but y'all love each otheron a level of father-daughter
that should make everybodyenvious.
I mean, y'all have your datenight every week.
The way you talk to her, someof the stuff I don't approve
Date night.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Let's clarify that means it's daughter and daddy
movie night.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, that's the daughter-daddy date night.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
We sit on the couch and we watch movies, and I've
been doing that for.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Years.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Four years, four years now, over four years.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Longer than that.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
yeah, it's just Because that's something she
never got, if I can say got when.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Well, I was a single mom.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
You were a single mom and she didn't get that from
Grandpa.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Don't call him that.
Well whatever he was is Absent.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, so, and like she says, I cherish those.
You know it's great to sit downwith your child, even if it's
just one child.
You know we have two otherknuckleheads, but it feels like
they kind of disowned us, likeeveryone else.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
But that was not due to those kids.
Don't blame those kids, thosekids didn't disown us.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I didn't blame them.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Call it what it is.
We love them.
I would go get them right nowif they called me.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Absolutely, and they're welcome here.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Who turned them away from us?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We know here who turned them away from us.
We know who turned them away.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, and you know, that's that's things we go into
later narcissism.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
It was not the kids controlling factors manipulation
yeah, and it's heart-wrenchingto me yep, I had it done to me
when I was a child.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I was turned against my dad, so I can't even the
things that were said to youabout your dad.
You know, I remember meetinghim for the very first time and
I walked in with thispreconceived notion that he was
these horrific, awful things,because that's what I was told
(36:37):
right.
And I mean they were told to meso sternly, like I didn't even
want faith near him because ofwhat I had been told Right and
you knew no different.
I mean, the things that youwere told were so horrific.
And then, after I spent sometime with him, I said to him you
know, spend some time with him.
(37:02):
I said to him you know, I needto give you an apology because I
came in here so misguided andmisconstrued because of what I
was told, and he was like, oh,by my ex-wife, like he knew
right off the bat, and I justsaid I'm so sorry.
And he reminded me years laterhe was like, do you know, when
you sat down next to me and yousaid I'm so sorry that I came in
here with this opinion alreadycreated because of everything
(37:26):
that I heard, and then you spokewith me, sat with me, got to
know me and the first thing youdid then was apologize and he
said that meant more to me thanyou'll ever know.
And I said because I mean Iwould never have let you near my
kid ever, because the thingsthat were said to you and to me
and to our kid about him right,I mean these are things that we
(37:50):
fight for is what the categoryhe was put in.
And then I mean to do thatbecause parents shouldn't use
their kids as pawns to get themto hate the other parent.
Right?
Just because it didn't work outwith your spouse doesn't mean
you should turn the kids.
That's horrible.
I mean that's just so, so wrongto do.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
And we've met parents who turn the kids for a
financial gain.
Absolutely, it's sick thementality, but we can talk a lot
about different things, right?
We've covered a lot tonight.
Let's see what else StuccoSquad's coming out.

feet.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So y'all please go on the website and y'all see
Stucco a lot on Facebook.
He's so cute.
He has a lot of people, he hashis own group.
Now I swear we need to do acameo.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I'm going to put him in there with me.
Announce the cameo.
Nothing's been told.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So cameo reached out to my wife, my darling sexy
Victoria Curie wife, to become atalent, I don't know why she
accepted.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I do not know why.
I am not in the league with thepeople that are on Cameo.
Can I just say that?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's a lot of actors, a lot of old actors that
you know I grew up watching onthere, a lot of the young that I
don't have a clue.
I'm sorry, don't take offense,but you know folks like, hey,
buddy, come here.
Uh, when you have folks likelou diamond phillips call up
your wife, you know it's not togo out on a date but it's to
(04:10):
congratulate her and to, youknow, give a heartfelt uh, thank
you of what you're doing andspreading the message of, you
know, the special needscommunity and dev survivors,
malcolm goodwin, know that'sfreaking awesome.
You know I'm proud to have awife like that.
So, yeah, now that she's outthere on Cameo, y'all reach out
(04:32):
to her.
Oh, it costs money.
Well, folks, it goes for a danggood cause.
Oh, hold on.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
No, I got to interrupt because, okay, caitlyn
Jenner is like $2,500, right,and I had to explain to my
husband, redneck Cartnell, whoCaitlyn Jenner was.
He had no idea.
So he can't give me crap aboutnot knowing who any of the
Superman people are when youdon't know who Caitlyn, aka,
previously known as Bruce Jenner, was.
(04:59):
So he's like $2,500.
She is.
I truly had a faux pas.
She is $2,500.
A, he's like 2500.
She's so sorry.
I truly had a faux pas.
She is 2500.
Faux pas, yeah.
And then, like, jennifergardner is a thousand dollars.
She's so pretty.
I think she's pretty.
Then you have people like um,who else is like everybody's on
(05:19):
there, I'm.
I'm just like, why am I even inthis mix?
Because I don't belong.
And so right now, because I'mwet behind the ears, new at this
cameo thing, I'm only askingfor $10 for a video and I can
reach out to you and send you ahappy birthday, feel better,
some advice, some pep talk,whatever the case may be.
(05:43):
Advice, some pep talk, whateverthe case may be.
You know, I've been looking atthe rules and stuff of Cameo and
most people leave anywhere fromlike 30 seconds to two minutes.
The first video that I got as arequest.
I think I did six minutes,because we all know I'm a talker
, and then I had another one andI think I did four and a half
minutes, something like that.
So it's well worth the $10 andit goes to a good cause, um,
(06:05):
also.
But then there's like all thesepeople on it and I am, I'm
starstruck, starstruck,completely starstruck, and then,
um, it's an amazing opportunity.
I, I, still, I.
I hope they don't wake up andrealize they made a mistake
allowing me on here, because Iam nowhere near the caliber of
any of these other people thatI'm amongst the honor of being
(06:26):
with.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's all.
Well, I think we should putStucco on there.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
He'll be on there with me.
I'll put him in some of thevideos.
Can we put him on there?
No, he has to have his ownfollowing first.
You said there's dogs on there.
There is, there's like the dogof TikTok, let's get Stucco on
there.
We have to have him have hisown following.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Stucco, you're about to become a superstar.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
He is a superstar.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And you're only three .
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Hey, so that's that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So big event in May, cameo.
Thank you, cameo.
Thank you, lou, for reachingout to the wife.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I just heard from David Arquette from Scream oh,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, we got to from David Arquette from Scream oh,
that's right, yeah, we gotta getto him.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
When's he coming on?
I'm not sure, but and you heardfrom someone else, gentleman
named John, who was the janitorin the Breakfast Club, one of my
favorite movies ever he, youknow, is gonna come on the
podcast, the old Breakfast.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Club, didn't they make a new one?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
No, there's only one original.
There's only one original.
It had Anthony Michael Hall andEmilio Estreves and John.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Jones with Lou Diamond Phillips.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Look at that connection.
That's awesome.
Molly Ringwald yeah, he was thejanitor.
He also played in a ton ofother movies and shows and he
will be coming on, which I'm soungodly honored and just oh, I'm
starstruck.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I am.
So let me put a shameless plugout there.
You do those, I don't.
I do Because my wife sits hereat this computer about 21, 22
hours a day, right Given thatthis past storm knocked out the
internet for like three days.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Which was great because the family had video
games.
It was wonderful, which I am soagainst.
Anyway, she puts a lot of timeinto this.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Y'all, y'all.
And I'd just like to say, ify'all are wanting to come on our
show, write to us.
Uh, our email is everywhere outthere.
We're on like 30 differentplatforms.
Um, some of her favorite peopleshe would love to get on the
show.
If y'all have contacts outthere, johnny depp okay explain
(08:43):
why okay wait, wait, wait, waitwait.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm going to interrupt you only for one
reason I love you with everymilliscule of my body.
The reason yes, he's a fabulous, amazing actor, but that's not
the reason.
I don't want people to be like,oh, she's starstruck by Johnny
Depp, he's one of her, whatever.
No, this man, in my eyes, is ahero.
I actually, when I worked myfamily will tell you that I have
videos in the backgroundplaying and when he went through
(09:09):
the domestic violence trial, Iknew just by his mannerisms,
just by the way he spoke.
I mean, he publicly came outand said I will never look at
her again.
And when he was on trial, hedidn't look at her when and said
I will never look at her again.
And when he was on trial, hedidn't look at her.
When he sat just literallylaterally across from her, he
(09:31):
never looked her way, right, hegot on the stand.
And where the other person goton the stand, total, complete
different dispositions, right,there was not a question.
Now, everybody knows johnnydepp's had his ups and downs and
everything.
So is everybody else right.
(09:51):
But this man, anywhere he goesand he travels, forget
everything else.
Take everything else out of theequation.
He's not an actor, he's not asurvivor.
He's not any of this.
This human being, this amazinghuman being.
For this reason alone, everytime he travels anywhere, he
takes jack sparrow's costumewith him.
Everywhere he goes, captainjack sparrow, I'm his twin
(10:14):
sister, by the way.
Uh, johnny, I'm your twin,because he goes into the
hospitals and he just wants togo see kids and make them smile.
That's all he wants, and hedoesn't want to make a deal
about it.
He doesn't want the publicityof it, whatever.
You know none of that.
It is a wonderful human beingwho cares about the smile of
(10:50):
these kids face and for thatreason alone, I would love the
opportunity and honor tointerview him Now.
Put on top of it all the amazingthings that this human being
does.
Okay, he is a survivor,survivor, he's a thriver.
You could tell by looking athim when he left court.
Every single day, he walked outand thanked every single
(11:11):
officer of the court.
He walked out and like, didn'tjust shake hands, he held their
hands and the body image, thebody language, talked so loudly
about him.
Right, you hear all thesehorrible things about him, but
then you watch him, like how heinteracts and how he treats
people and he is just afive-star, stellar human being.
(11:33):
That's all I gotta say about ityou have a lot to say about him
.
I have diarrhea in the mouth,fine, whatever, but he is such a
true soul and that's so hard tofind, especially out in
Hollywood, and for him to be soauthentic.
I mean, it resonates so deeplywith me and I'm his twin because
I just recently lost an arm andI could play his sister just
(11:57):
saying that's it, go ahead.
So, johnny Depp.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So let's get Johnny Depp on this show y'all.
Okay, Make this woman happy.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You make me happy.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, nobody can make me happy.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
James.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Spader, I've come so close.
I've come so close but Ihaven't been able to.
James Spader, you rememberthose commercials like 10 years
ago, where it's like the woman'soutside her favorite store and
it's open, open, open, open,open open and she can't get into
the other side of the store.
That's where I am with JamesSpader, because I've been so
(12:33):
close.
I had the privilege and honorof tutoring, as a writer, the
writers of the Blacklist's niece, right, I tutored her to help
her get into writing school andI'm just not that person that's
like hey, wink, wink, nudge,nudge, I can't do it, I won't do
(12:53):
it well, you had a mirror on oh, he's another five star human
being which played a rom, a rom,a rom on the blacklist, I
believe the first season heplayed all nine.
He played eight, played eightseasons.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I didn't finish.
I don't think I got past seasonfive.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
No, he played up to like eight and a half seasons.
He was an amazing actor,amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
He's got a very romantic side, from what I could
tell.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
He is a stellar human being and he's doing Broadway.
Yes, he is just a stellar human.
So, and not just that, my, mynew friend, who emailed me and
reached out today, who was onthe breakfast club, played on
the blacklist.
Yeah, yeah, he was on there, hewas on an episode.
So I'm like there but not there, and I refuse to put that card
(13:44):
and say to somebody that I'vebecome friends with or that has
reached out to us to thank usfor what we do, to say, hey, by
the way, could you give me a?
I can't do it.
That's not who I am, right, Ican't I can't God.
Okay, and it's the dispositionand character of James Spader in
(14:06):
the blacklist it was RaymondReddington, like that reminds me
so much of you All women thathave been through any kind of
domestic violence.
I'm telling you because whenFaith was little, the show
started and I had it on recordor whatever you know, and I
didn't sleep then, like I don'tsleep now, and she couldn't
(14:26):
sleep one night and I waslooking through the DVR and if
you don't know what those wordsare, you'll have to go look them
up because we're old and I'mlike looking and looking and I'm
like there's nothing on TV.
So I go through and I'm lookingat the DVR and I'm like I have
like eight episodes of the show,the Blacklist, and I couldn't
remember why I even startedrecording it, like you know, and
so I was like okay, whatever,so I turn it on.
(14:47):
Thank god I found it when I did, because had I just watched
that first episode and I had towait seven more days for the
second it, it would have beenugly, because the first episode,
as you know, because you saw itwas so good, you are hooked and
I'm like, okay, this is.
(15:09):
You know, james spader was madefor this role and this show was
made for james spader period.
Nobody else a could have donethis position, this role.
Nobody would have had theseries last as long as it did.
And then I go back and I'mlooking.
I'm like that's that actor whoplayed all the bratty roles in
(15:30):
the 80s 16 candles, themannequin, I believe he also
played in stargate, which issci-fi I don't know, I didn't
see it and I'm looking at it,going no way.
So of course I pull up and I seeyou know him and I'm like I
want to look at his biographyand I'm like he was in the movie
with Estelle Getty who Iworship from the Golden Girls,
(15:50):
from Mannequin, and I'm likewhat, that is not the same guy,
right, they don't even look thesame at all at all.
And I remember seeing thosemovies and I was like I wasn't
fond of him back then, right,but now raymond reddington, oh
my god, every the way, the firstepisode if you haven't seen it,
(16:13):
mute me for a moment.
I was like that's his daughter,right off the bat.
That's his daughter.
I was not a big fan of thecharacter elizabeth keen,
because how are you an fbiprofiler and you don't know or
how to scratch your watch orwind your butt right, she could
do nothing without Raymond, likeeverything had to be from
Raymond.
Raymond was always saving her,constantly saving her, and he
(16:37):
never hurt anybody who didn'tneed to get hurt and I know I'm
gonna get crap for that but likehe hurt people who hurt the
ones he loved.
Yes, he was manipulative andokay and but he was a bad guy
but he didn't hurt the goodpeople, he only hurt the bad
people, right.
And he was like the reason whyour judicial system sucks and he
was like the founding ha-haperson for it.
(16:59):
That fixed everything.
So you watch Raymond Reddingtonand you watch episode after
episode where he goes in and hegets these bad guys that just
hurt people, right, that reallyhurt people.
And frank was on there, the guywho wished you a happy 50th.
He was on the blacklist, was aplace to be and, like you just
watch it and then you learnabout dembe and his story and
(17:20):
it's oh, and you fall in lovewith the blacklist.
And then it's like I used toget so upset because it would go
on hiatus for like three monthsand it was so upsetting and I
was just like I'm a specialneeds mom, I'm a special needs
person myself and when my childis asleep and I'm watching her
on these machines, I need me alittle Raymond Reddington and I
(17:41):
would watch these in his littlefedora and I would think, oh my
God, that's my Michael, right,like, like, because the way you
act and the way he acts are sosimilar in so many ways and it
was his disposition and demeanorthat I found so alluring.
And it's the same with you,like, it's the way you acted,
right.
So I'm just saying, and it wasamazing, and I even got faith
(18:02):
hooked on it, and amir washilarious.
He was like you're a littleyoung to watch the blacklist,
but Faith is so wise behind heryears anyway, right, and she
loved Aram.
She'd walk around because atthe time she had apraxia and you
can't pronounce a lot of wordsand she has a non-functional
tongue and her anatomy in hermouth is small, right.
So she'd walk around and hisname on the show was Aram
(18:26):
Mushdabai and she'd go AramMushdabai and it was the cutest
thing ever and she was likethat's her favorite.
She loved Aram just as much asRaymond and she's like Mom,
raymond's yours, I'll get Aram.
Okay, that's fine, she lovedboth of them.
But she'd always be like I'mAram, I'm Aram, I rom, I'm a rom
(18:49):
rom, unless you try to rollours so cute.
And the first time we ever heardfrom a rom, he sent her the
sweetest ever video, talkingabout she was getting ready to
have her 34th surgery and he waslike ain't nothing but a
chicken wing, ain't nothing, youknow.
And then what was itValentine's.
We're sitting at the table andI'm like, faith, you just got an
email from a ROM wishing you ahappy Valentine's Day.
(19:11):
And I looked at you and I waslike, are you kidding me?
This year's a ROM, you know,saying I'm thinking about you
and how are you doing?
You were on my mind Last yearDermot Mulroney, best friend's
wedding, chicago Fire PD.
Chicago Fire Captain sends Faitha message and asks her to be
(19:33):
his valentine.
I mean, really, these are likethe elite people and I'm like
I'm so there but not there.
So now that everybody's like,yep, victoria has diarrhea of
the mouth, I'm gonna let Michaelgo back and continue to explain
this and explain more about ourstucco squad, which everybody
(19:54):
is welcome to join.
I mean, kermit's an honorarymember and Spider-Man wants to
be a member, and I'm just sayingso.
Love, the diarrhea of the mouth.

one.

You wouldn't call out of work for Johnny Depp.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, yeah, but I mean Keanu definitely.

produced.
Ok, y'all are going to be infor it when you see the quality

So we have.
We have hundreds and hundredsof thousands of followers on
(23:06):
throughout all our platformswe're the millions well, I know,
but each, each platform hasyeah just and and like we'll put
this out.
We're late because of therecent storm that knocked out
our internet here for the pastthree days, so we're late, so
we're.
She'll probably put this out,maybe tomorrow or thursday and,
(23:28):
uh, you know, it'll havemillions of listens.
It's different from viewsthey're not the same because
this is all audio.
Well, we could go, we could govideo.
Speaker 2 (23:37):

it's not halloween.
This is on the youtube I meanvideo on youtube no, but people
put in their keywords, not justaudio.
And then they do whatever, theydon't watch it.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So she's done this and she's got our podcast in the
top 2% globally of the mostlistened to podcasts.
Y'all, she knows what she'sdoing.
Get in on these classes, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And they're cost affordable.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
They're a drop in the bucket on what you should be
charging Each of her classes.
Her class is no less than a$500 master class.
Okay, and she is.
I mean, it's nothing, it'salmost nothing.
It's something, but it's almostnothing.
Well, it's also outrageous forthe platform that we paid to
(24:28):
house it y'all, what she doesworks okay.
She has facts to prove it.
She has numbers to prove it.
Oh, okay, are you going toargue with all these celebrities
calling her ask, look at your,look at your itinerary.
Do you have all thesecelebrities calling you out of
the blue eating dinner?
You know you got.
You got Lou Diamond calling.
(24:49):
You got all these other folksjust out of the blue.
I'm like, babe, are we payingthese folks to call us Like?
No, they just call us likeMalcolm Goodwin.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Well, hold, on Somebody he knew Right.
There's a story behind that.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Okay, here's a mic.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
No, here's my mic.
Malcolm Goodwin plays in thereacher and I zombie and the
breakout kings and severalothers.
But somebody reached out to himand told them that I help them
through a life alteringsituation and the one consistent
(25:27):
thing is that I will neverdisclose geographics or your
name, um, and I always do followup and I end up staying pretty
connected to everyone that Iwork with and I have I mean, my
husband will tell you, 10o'clock at night, two o'clock in
the morning, I'll have somebodyreach out and I will stop and
and reach back and start talkingwith them and, honestly, they
(25:50):
knew Malcolm and Malcolm reachedout thanking me for helping his
friend.
And when you're dealing withpeople and these situations, you
have no idea who they are right, and it doesn't matter to me
who you are, it matters that Ihelp you.
That's the whole premise of it.
And he said I just want tothank you because you saved
(26:12):
their life.
And not only did you save theirlife but, like you, literally
still follow through and talkwith them and you're who you are
, you're genuine and because ofthat, now you have a listener
and a fan in me and I'm likewhat?
Because that's not why I dothis.
I do this because I know whatit's like to be alone.
I know what it's like to gothrough this alone and want to
give up and realize that you'reletting them win and they're not
(26:34):
worth it.
So you're much better than thatand even when you think the
tiniest spark is all you haveleft within you, I'm going to
show you that that spark isgoing to set a wildfire I mean,
and it can and going to set awildfire, I mean, and it can.
And you just need that positivelift right and then I'll even
help you through your healingjourney.
I'm not a medical doctor.
(26:54):
I still tell everybody theyneed to go and get therapists
and counseling and things likethat, but I give you tips that
have worked for me, that haveworked for others.
I don't tell you to get out,but you do need a plan.
You know I help you get one incase and whenever you are ready,
things that can help keep youas safe as humanly possible
during the time that you'rethere.
(27:14):
But still, these are all thingsthat I didn't have available to
me, and if one nugget from onething saves your life, then God
bless it.
Everything we do is for a reason, and that's just why, and for
him to have reached out and justsaid thank you.
That meant more to me than hewill ever know, because I'm not.
(27:36):
Obviously we're not doing itfor the money, because we've
been funding this out of our ownpocket from inception right.
But to know that somebody waslike what they did saved me and
they were talking about it tosomeone else, and for them to be
so moved by that person to sayyou know what I'm so glad they
did what they did.
I'm going to reach out andthank them myself.
(27:57):
Right, his message to me was sogenuine.
He didn't say I was asked to dothis or, you know, I felt the
need to do this.
He said I wanted to personallyreach out and thank you for
saving my friend and because youdid this, you now have a fan in
me.
I've listened to your podcast.
I, you know, checked out whatyou are, what you do and who you
are, and that means everythingI mean.
(28:19):
The only additional positive Isee is spreading the word so
that more people know about usand how to find us and how to
utilize our resources to helpthem.
In turn, right, I'm not lookingto like.
You know, whatever you want toconsider, I'm not trying to be
the 18 year old TikTok, you know, phenomenon superstar that is
(28:41):
doing it because they want thepraise and the notion and the
notoriety.
I don't want it for that reason.
I want it because when I wentthrough this and I'm laying on
the floor bleeding and I don'teven want to get up, I can say
someone else has got me, I'm notalone.
You know, I could put my hearingaids in.
I could not a word.
And I can turn on one of ourpodcasts and I can hear survivor
(29:04):
stories, or I can listen toMichael and Victoria, or I can
hear survivor stories, or I canlisten to Michael and Victoria,
or I can listen to Dana and Iand I can go and say, oh my God,
that's exactly like what I'mgoing through.
I am not alone.
I'm not alone and it makes sucha huge difference and it makes
you feel like I can fight this,I can beat this, I can overcome
(29:25):
this, and then my voice and mystory matter and it's going to
help somebody else along the way.
So I know.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Diary of the mouth no , no, um, also in the past.
Uh, victoria, cure, that's howyou pronounce her name, it's
like pure a with a c right, um,she wrote her memoir, uh, in the
form of a book that sheself-published some years ago
called who Kicked First, and oneof the readers got a hold of
(29:54):
her book and stated your booksaved my life.
Now you know that book may havetook, I don't know, 10 years in
the making.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It did because I was petrified to come out.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But that one simple statement was what made it worth
it, right, absolutely, to sitthere and write it down.
And so, yeah, that's awesome,you know, to have something to
come back to you and say, hey,because you did this, it saved
my, or it saved the life of mydaughter, because you know, yeah
(30:32):
, wow.
So my wife's the real deal,y'all.
She, she went through hell andback and my daughter's been
through hell what death's bud acouple times more than a couple.
And, uh, our little girl, faith, she's a fighter.
If y'all ever follow us on onfacebook or tiktok, y'all hear
(30:53):
about faith.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
She's a little everybody loves her everything
and we're not saying thatbecause we're biased Hell kicker
.
Everybody loves her.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
She's a pain in my butt.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You're just mad because my husband love of my
life and soulmate the other dayremember I'm an amputee I'm
trying to fold clothes, which Ido, I do, and he gives me a
shirt and says hang this up.
So I do, I do.
And he gives me a shirt andsays hang this up.
So I do.
And then he takes it off thehanger and I'm like do you know
what that did for me to do it?
(31:24):
And he calls Faith in and sayshang this up for me.
And I'm like what Just hung thisup, this is because I'm a
horrible liar and I can't getaway with anything hangs it on
the hanger and hands it to himand he goes ah, like some,
whatever.
And I looked over and I'm likewhat, what's the problem?
(31:45):
And he goes now I know whichone of you two buttons the
button okay, well, let's not benewton here for a minute and
realize that it does take anextra minute for me to button
buttons.
And you look over her and yougo do you know that's a button
of mine, that you buttoned mybuttons?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Because I hate it.
I hate it.
Just because it's a buttoneddown shirt does not mean it has
to go on the hanger with everybutton on there.
It's a pain in the butt for usguys to unbutton them.
We just want to throw the shirton and go.
I don't care if they'reunbuttoned.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
So what was the premise of what you said to her?
Do not.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I said from now on, because it's an inconvenience
and it's a hassle and it's abutton, a pet peeve of mine do
not button any of my shirts andput them on a hanger, or my
britches.
She zips up my britches andbuttons them now, oh, lord.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
these two, as you know, are the pranksters of the
millennium.
Like they're crazy about theirpranks on each other.
They both have stuff in the inthe woodwork in the pipeline
right now.
So he said don't you do itagain?
So abby's on her way here andand will be here in a few weeks
Yay, abby.
And she's already like well, hesaid Faith couldn't do it.
(33:03):
He didn't say I couldn't do it,and not only that, but he told
her very specifically do not dothis to my shirt or to my pants.
Well, we learned years ago thatMichael has to have his socks
even a certain way.
We learned years ago thatMichael has to have his socks
even a certain way.
So our lovely child is going todo what you hate to every
(33:26):
single pair of socks that youown.
Great, because you didn'tspecify socks, she's on down
black.
No, she's rolling them andputting them in a knot.
Oh hell no, you said no toshirts and pants.
You didn't say anything aboutthe socks.
Okay, I'll get her back.
So she, why do you think allyour socks went missing?
Speaker 1 (33:48):
and she actually did laundry ask her today if she saw
that brand new pack of socksthat's because she's rolling
them and tying them up.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
This is why I love the pranks that they do.
They're fantastic, they'reawesome, but they push each
other's buttons all day long.
Yes, they do, and it'shysterical because this is how
they are.
This is the love they have foreach other, but you've never
seen such love as you do whenyou see the two of them.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
They're amazing.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I mean they are, and it cracks me up because she says
to me oh my god, he gets on myever laughing last nerve, like.
And then she's like but ifanybody ever even looked at him
wrong, I'm, I'm gouging the eyeslike she's, like that's my dad
and the only person who canannoy him is me.
I mean it's hilarious like the,the banter between the two of
(34:38):
you, but y'all love each otheron a level of father-daughter
that should make everybodyenvious.
I mean, y'all have your datenight every week.
The way you talk to her, someof the stuff I don't approve
Date night.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Let's clarify that means it's daughter and daddy
movie night.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, that's the daughter-daddy date night.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
We sit on the couch and we watch movies, and I've
been doing that for.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Years.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Four years, four years now, over four years.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Longer than that.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
yeah, it's just Because that's something she
never got, if I can say got when.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Well, I was a single mom.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
You were a single mom and she didn't get that from
Grandpa.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Don't call him that.
Well whatever he was is Absent.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, so, and like she says, I cherish those.
You know it's great to sit downwith your child, even if it's
just one child.
You know we have two otherknuckleheads, but it feels like
they kind of disowned us, likeeveryone else.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
But that was not due to those kids.
Don't blame those kids, thosekids didn't disown us.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
I didn't blame them.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Call it what it is.
We love them.
I would go get them right nowif they called me.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Absolutely, and they're welcome here.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Who turned them away from us?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
We know here who turned them away from us.
We know who turned them away.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Well, and you know, that's that's things we go into
later narcissism.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
It was not the kids controlling factors manipulation
yeah, and it's heart-wrenchingto me yep, I had it done to me
when I was a child.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
I was turned against my dad, so I can't even the
things that were said to youabout your dad.
You know, I remember meetinghim for the very first time and
I walked in with thispreconceived notion that he was
these horrific, awful things,because that's what I was told
(36:37):
right.
And I mean they were told to meso sternly, like I didn't even
want faith near him because ofwhat I had been told Right and
you knew no different.
I mean, the things that youwere told were so horrific.
And then, after I spent sometime with him, I said to him you
know, spend some time with him.
(37:02):
I said to him you know, I needto give you an apology because I
came in here so misguided andmisconstrued because of what I
was told, and he was like, oh,by my ex-wife, like he knew
right off the bat, and I justsaid I'm so sorry.
And he reminded me years laterhe was like, do you know, when
you sat down next to me and yousaid I'm so sorry that I came in
here with this opinion alreadycreated because of everything
(37:26):
that I heard, and then you spokewith me, sat with me, got to
know me and the first thing youdid then was apologize and he
said that meant more to me thanyou'll ever know.
And I said because I mean Iwould never have let you near my
kid ever, because the thingsthat were said to you and to me
and to our kid about him right,I mean these are things that we
(37:50):
fight for is what the categoryhe was put in.
And then I mean to do thatbecause parents shouldn't use
their kids as pawns to get themto hate the other parent.
Right?
Just because it didn't work outwith your spouse doesn't mean
you should turn the kids.
That's horrible.
I mean that's just so, so wrongto do.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
And we've met parents who turn the kids for a
financial gain.
Absolutely, it's sick thementality, but we can talk a lot
about different things, right?
We've covered a lot tonight.
