Hey guys and welcome to episode 232 of Hilboly Horror Stories. I'm Jerry and I'm Tracy.

Jerry. So we've got a really cool story tonight and we've got a friend of ours, Carrie, who we do. Our very first live show was at her event.

She has an event every single year and she's got some cool stories and she shares some of them with us tonight. So after the story and we do our little Patreon stuff and our Aston stuff, we've got that interview to play you.

First we want to thank all of our military and civil servants all over the world no matter which country you represent. Thank you to all of you for everything we should do.

We appreciate you guys and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I know it's tough not being at home with your family and but I know you also have a family there.

And we just appreciate you guys looking after us every single day and the guys are just the best and I hope everybody else out there had a great Christmas with their family.

What that being said, please just write into the next thing like you said it's tough being away from your family and with the COVID that's what so many people. I know in Great Britain and over here they were you know they're still shut down and telling you to stay away even for families and not have your traditional Christmas.

Christmas of people are doing it by Zoom and all that and that's that's fine. You do what you got to do but it makes it tough on a lot of people. I know we I saw a post earlier today or actually I think it was yesterday in the group where somebody was just saying hey I feel like nobody cares about me. I'm I'm all alone and nobody reaches out to me and that's an important message is that if you know somebody may not have a lot of friends or they may not have a lot of family or whatever the situation is reach out to them more often.

Don't wait for them to reach out to you reach out to them just pick a day or pick a time is how I need to make some calls or need some text or I need to send some messages and you might be surprised at the person you touched that day.

Oh absolutely. That's a great thing to do guys.

So if you're feeling tough during these tough times if you feel like you need some additional help Tracy and I are always available.

Of course anytime of the day you've got the group feel free to join the group and like I said I know there's thousands literally thousands of people in there who are willing to help out.

If you need an ear and a great.

It has pretty sneezes in the background.

And also we have the 800 number for you guys if you'd rather reach out that way it's 1-800-273-8255 or you can text them at 7-4-1-7-4-1.

And just remember guys you're never alone we're always here for you.

All right.

As usual this episode is brought to you about you could take a hot sauce the number one have an arrow based hot sauce in the United States as Chad King of flavors.
