Hey guys, welcome to episode 188 of Hillbilly Horror Stories. I'm Jerry.

I'm Tracy. We love you. We do. What a week. What a week. All kinds of emotional ups and downs, personal stuff, business stuff. It's been so much

stuff chocked into a week. It seems like about a month. So first and foremost we want to thank all of our military and civil servants and canine units and apparently chickens as we were seeing in the picture today.

Thank you guys, Gals, canines for everything you do. No matter which country you represent, thanks for all your hard work and keeping everybody safe and keeping freedom out in the forefront.

Yes, God bless you all. You guys are amazing. You guys and Gals.

I also want to mention if you're having a hard time right now, you're struggling, life's hard. Reach out to somebody if you just need to talk.

Even if you don't even realize that it's getting to the point to where it could be more serious, just talk. Anytime you're something's trouble and you should try to talk to somebody about it.

You should. Absolutely. You will be surprised how much better you feel.

I had a young lady write me a couple of weeks ago, very early in the morning, it's like two, three o'clock in the morning.

And unfortunately I was asleep and didn't hear my phone go off. But I talked to her like as soon as I got up the next morning. So it had set for about four hours, which kind of scares me anytime.

She's out and sets for that long. And she basically thanked me for talking with her. And then she kind of went off the map for a couple weeks.

And then I heard back from her today and said that she had checked herself into a hospital to get some help.

And then now she's out and things are really good. Her outlook is good. And she just wanted to thank me for talking to her.

She said she didn't have anybody else to reach out to that night because at the time and all of her friends were gone or not answering.

And my name is I didn't answer unfortunately. But she said that it helped that I talked to her.

And that was one of the decisions that made her go get help. So good.

Don't don't think that a situation like that just by talking to somebody can't make a difference because it can.

Well, good for her. We're proud of you, honey.

And if you'd rather talk to the suicide hotline, it's 1-800-273-8255. You can also text at 741-741 if you would rather text than talk to somebody.

Yeah, we're all here for you.

And of course we got our group, which is all about trying to make people feel better.
