Howdy, howdy, welcome to the Granger Smith podcast. This is episode 60, and I'm recording this before the time, obviously, that you're going to hear it, but right now it's before Thanksgiving, and I just want to say I'm so thankful for this podcast and this platform to be speaking with you guys and

59 episodes before this one. It's one of my favorite things to do. I do a lot of different kinds of media in my life

everything from redneck comedy to trying to make you cry in a music video and this is right in between and it's not a family blog either this is the

podcast and so many times I've opened this up to your questions I do want to say that for me the last episode I talked about a young man from

Kentucky named Drew and we have since talked back and forth if you want to listen to

episode 59 Drew wrote into the show and he said

that he was in a pretty tough situation 14 years old he had been abused by his stepfather, apparently had been beaten with a baseball bat on several

occasions, called the cops, wrote the podcast, it was a long story,

and that's not what this is about.

I hope you go listen to that on episode 59,

but I wanted to say that after that, and this podcast is always open to questions.

Do you email GrangerSmith Podcast at gmail.com if you want to if you want to talk to me about

anything and I'll talk about it on this

podcast. After I read that letter from Drew I got a flood of questions and

comments from you guys if you are in similar situations which is horrifying and

I just want to say that if you are in a bad situation especially if you're

under 21 and you're you're living in you're not the you're not the head of your

household I should say you're living with other adults and

you are in any kind of abusive situation please call the cops please call the cops and sit with them.

Be brave and go to the cops.

If you don't feel like they're listening to you or if whoever is abusing you is,

maybe they're in with the sheriff or maybe they're taking
