Hello, you guys. Welcome to another episode of my podcast. Things could be worse. I'm your host,

Billie DeDrick. And today I do not have my headphones on. I don't know why I felt the need to

disclose that right there. If you're watching visually, you'll be able to tell that like I don't have

headphones on and sometimes I do, so you might be confused. Nobody cares. Like literally nobody cares,

especially if you're listening to just the audio, like you probably don't even know that I wear

headphones sometimes. So I'm not sure what I'm even talking about. I just have a really bad headache

and I feel like if I hear myself talking in my own head, it's going to make my headache worse

because I'm just like annoying and I annoy myself. So we're not we're not wearing the headphones

today. Today I'm recording a super chill episode. One, you might be able to tell I sound so tired.

I am so exhausted. I'm so drained. I'm going to get into all of it in a second, but also chill

because I don't feel that great. Like I said, I have a headache. I feel like there's some sort

of like sinasy infection type of like thing spreading around where I live and my best friend just

had a sinus infection. Prior to that, like our entire high school baseball team had like some

shit. So I think I'm a little under the weather and it's just all contributing to me not having

a super great time right now. But we're going to push through and we're going to record this

episode because I love you guys so dearly. Like that sounded sarcastic. Like as it was coming out,

I was like, oh, this sounds really sarcastic. I actually love you guys so much. And I just want

to remind you that I love each and every single one of you listening or watching wherever you're at.

Before I get into ranting about my current life, I'm going to politely ask you guys to leave

an amazing rating and review on the pod wherever you're listening, Spotify, Apple. If you're just

watching on YouTube, you can go over and give me a rating or a review on one of the audio platforms

or just subscribe. Leave me a nice comment and I will make sure to read all like I literally read
