Welcome to another episode of Dumb Blonde. You guys, I got motherfucking Billy and Brandy in the house, baby. Finally. What's up, guys? What's up?

Took us a couple tries to get here, but we finally made it. I love it. Billy, are you going to be shy today? No, I ain't shy. I'm excited to be here. Billy's like, I am not excited to be here. My girl drug me here, and that's exactly what's going on. Well, I figured to kind of like soften the blow of being on the podcast, I'm going to ask you guys a couple of questions, and you guys got to give me answers, okay? And then we'll get into like your life story and how you guys got on TikTok and all that jazz. Sweet. Is that good? Yeah. All right.

Billy and Brandy. Billy, you have to let Brandy suck mayo off your wiener or you have to lick mustard off her tits for $1 million. Which one are you doing? Oh, she's sucking on me. Okay.

I ain't licking nothing. Is it mustard or mayonnaise that you don't like? Oh, either one. I'll hit them both. Right? If it even... He smelt it. It touched him. It went around his tongue. I'm telling you, he would gag. Is it condiments in general? Yes. Mostly white condiments. Did something traumatic happen to you as a child with condiments? No, never. No. I just... The texture and just... I don't know. You just don't like sauce? No. You just eat dry-ass food? I like it. I like it. I like it. Ketchup, if you talk about ketchup...

Being blood. I can only have it with french fries though. I can't touch nothing else though. Ketchup. That's crazy. So mayonnaise, mustard, ranch. Oh my god. Barbecue has to be like on the hot dog. So you can't have like white stuff? Oh no. Or mayonnaise. I love a good old mayonnaise sandwich. Oh my goodness. That's crazy. Alright. We're going to play Marry, Kill, Unalive.

You have to pick. You guys know how to play. I'm acting like we're on TikTok right now. Marry, kill, and fuck. Bubba and Angela, Jelly Roll and Bunny, or Pumpkin and Josh? Which ones are you doing? I don't get it. Okay. I lost. Okay, okay. So I'm naming three couples, and you have to say which one you'll marry, kill, or fuck out of the three that I give you.

So I would kill pumpkin, whoever that is. Pumpkin and Alana and like Josh from Honey Boo Boo. So I don't, I don't really know them. So we'd go with them killing them. And what's my other options? Fucking what? Fucking Mary, Jelly Roll and Bunny and Bubba. Okay. Definitely fuck Bunny and Mary, Angela and Bubba. Yeah. I love that. All right, cool. He said, I don't get it. That's a soundbite for everything.

If you had to be an aquatic animal, which one would you be? I would be a dolphin. Me too. I said the same thing because you could fuck everybody. Oh, wow. They go around trying to fuck everybody. I didn't go that route, but I more was, you know, it's beautiful. It's graceful in the water, but they're very aggressive. Oh, gotcha. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, they're fucking aggressive. Yeah. Passive aggressive, baby. I'll go with you. I'll be a dolphin too. You gotta pick your own fucking animal. I'll be a dolphin with you.

No, that's really lame. It'd be cute. We can float together to the ocean, you know? We'd be dolphins together. Yes. That's really fucking lame, right? All right, man. I guess we'll be fucking dolphins together. All right. You guys will just be fucking each other. All right. If you had to pick a third for your marriage, who would it be? You go first because I got this list lined up, buddy. I don't have a clue. The neighbor? Yeah, the neighbor.

Which neighbor? We've acquired several over the years. Oh, are they all hot? Hot blondes only. They're all not hot though now. What do you want to go out for? All the neighbors. Oh no, not all the neighbors, just all your hot neighbors. They're always blonde with big asses. Yeah, they're always hot.

That's what Billy's into. Big blonde. Not big blondes. Isn't it crazy how they marry the complete opposite of what they're into? My husband loves brunettes. That's his thing. He likes little 411 brunettes. And I'm not that. I'm not what he likes. Petite blonde women with big asses. And I don't have an ass at all.

All right. Next question. Would you rather kiss your ex, Billy, or one of your neighbors? A neighbor. He loves the neighbor. Four times. Yeah, definitely a neighbor. Last question. Brandy, have you ever queefed on Billy?

Oh, I'd say probably, yeah. Any OF material where you've quit looking at his face? Or have I? Because I've been drunk a lot. No, I've been asked that question. I don't have a video of that. Really? Yeah. No. There's not one that you can remember? I farted on Jay one time when he was eating me out. No, not for... I don't. But I've been drunk a lot. Most OF videos are me drunk, so I don't know. I don't know.

Do you only film OF whenever you're drunk? No. In the first three months, yeah, definitely. Yeah, first three months. I love that. First three months. I'm the biggest lush when I'm drunk, dude. Just film me. I'm Jessica Rabbit, porn star. Don't even care. I'm the biggest fucking freak in the world. He gets me drunk. I'm like, what is this? You're like, where do you want to stick it, daddy? Yeah, like anywhere. You just tell me what you're comfortable doing here and we'll do it. Does that ever catch you off guard, Billy? Because you're just like... Oh, yeah, definitely. Do you like anal? No.

Because you're so grossed out by condiments and shit like that, but will you stick your wiener in a butt? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, yeah. Okay, so we've been getting this question a lot, actually. It's not like I'm super pumped. He said, hell yeah, give me the anus. I said, babe, we really need an anal video. And I was saying it for a month, and he's like, I don't know. I just don't think I can do it. Sober. I'm like, okay, then. I don't know. Tonight's the night to get fucked up. Weird.

Yeah, we have to be drunk for sure. He has to be drunk. Definitely. It's kind of weird because usually the chick has to be drunk. No, it's me definitely.

Is it just because it like freaks you out? I don't know. I'm just like, there's poop. He says he can't think about it like that. He says, why you say shit like that? That's what he says to me. I mean, listen, I had anal one time and poop balls fell on the bed. It was really bad. You got to make sure you clean out that little cavity. Yeah. He actually, he doesn't, he doesn't fart.

Listen, I just had you guys do a new skit. You got to act like you're doing anal and poop. Like imminent poop balls in the bed. Oh, he would die. I'd kick her out the floor. I love it. Well, that's the end of the questions, but we just wanted to get you guys warmed up. Cause I see you guys online. You guys have like the best chemistry. Like I really, I see a lot of couples online, but you can tell like who's, who's real and who's not, you know? And you guys, I,

really stick to who you guys are. Like even just seeing you guys as banter back and forth just now, that's exactly what you guys do on Tik TOK. You know, it's like, it's not fake. So I love that. Um, he's an asshole 24 seven. Oh, I believe it. I believe it. Everybody thinks my husband's a big teddy bear. I'm like, no, he's a dickhead. I'm like, you guys don't know him. Like I do. I would say I'm more of the bitch and he's more of the, I did see him flinch when you lifted your hand. Yeah.

You went like this and he was like, I was like, damn, battered wife syndrome over there. Battered husband. But I don't know the story about you guys. Like, I don't know like where you came from and stuff like that. So Brandy, let's start with you. Where did you grow up? I actually grew up in Detroit, Michigan. Oh, dope. I didn't know that. Yeah. It was about 10 minutes south of Detroit. I grew up there until I was about 12 years old.

got taken away from my mom and dad when I was three and all my siblings I had a lot of siblings my mom had seven kids so all four of us went to live with one of her sisters she raised us

The whole time. Why did you get taken away? I love a great deal as much as the next guy, but I'm not going to crawl through a bed of hot coals just to save a few bucks. It has to be easy.

slash bunny b-u-n-n-i-e all lowercase go to shopify.com bunny to upgrade your selling today shopify.com bunny my mom was a drug addict my dad was a drug addict very very abusive i don't remember a lot about my parents but my my older sister does and she kind of tells me stories people say i look just like my biological dad both of my parents are uh passed on now my mom died of

Lung cancer when my daughter was one and my dad died of a heart attack probably six years ago. Didn't really have a relationship with my dad. After he kidnapped me one summer when I was like, I was eight years old.

He picked us up and never dropped us back off. So let's rewind a little bit. You got taken from home when you were three. Yep. And placed with? My mother's sister. So your aunt? Yeah. Okay. And then she raised you all the way up until you were eight? All the way up until I was 12. But my dad, for like six months...

He kidnapped us and no one knew where we were. Wow. Did they try to fight for you in court or anything like that? Or did they just, yeah, I would say that my aunt fought, like tried fighting a lot, but he really was gun hold about getting as many kids as he could to make more money, more child support, not more child support, more like food stamps and all that good stuff. So when dad tried to kidnap you, what happened?

We didn't realize at the time that we had been kidnapped, like he had brainwashed us so much that we thought that he won and that we now get to, we're living with dad, you know? And I remember the turning point, what, which got us rescued was a really crazy incident. My stepsister and my sister, Amanda, who is my older sister who has special needs, she

I'm always, like, I'm defending her. Like, you don't mess with my sister. Even though the other girl is my stepsister, I don't know her. Well, she starts fighting with my sister. So, I'm, like, eight, nine years old. And no one's doing anything about it. So, apparently, I grab a knife and try to go after her and tell her to get away from my sister because she was being crazy. And then her mother, so...

the, my stepsister's mom walked in and slapped me across the face and said, you know, you're not going to touch my step or my daughter or whatever. And I was like, okay, well, I'm going to call the cops on you. Um, so I called the same attitude now that you had back then. I love that. And, uh, I've always been like that too. Just feisty as fuck. Yes. And I'm like, okay, well I'm calling the cops. So I called the cops and I remember a social worker coming out and, um,

I was telling him like what what was going on in the house and I was like, yeah We're he makes us like scrub the bathrooms with this bleach Like every single day and really weird things were going on and the house was disgusting So like I still have a visual memory of how nasty this place was It was just like a really traumatic experience more on more trauma on top of trauma Yes, I can still remember like the tree that we were standing by when the cops showed up to take us back to our parents and well my aunt and

and my aunt's partner so hurtful when we got back they threw this giant party they had no idea where we were did nobody went looking for you guys oh yeah they did went off the radar he never uh he would like he's kind of like a con artist so he would live in a place for until he got kicked out and then like an acquire another bill until he got kicked out of there and then he would go to another place and just con his way through everything he would even lie and say he was a nurse and

Yeah. Just that meth shit. Yeah, he, I got a messed up finger because when I was, I guess, younger, I don't know the age, but he slammed my finger in the door and stitched it up himself. Oh, my God. And took out the stitches because he truly believed in his head, I guess, that he was a nurse. Brandy. So. He's a doctor. Yeah, he was. Oh.

Oh my God. So you guys go back to your aunts and you stay with them until you're 12? 12, yeah. And then what happens after that? I seeked a lot, like I wasn't getting the attention I felt like I needed. At all. So, I mean, my youngest sister, she was actually adopted. So I felt like my aunts, when I say aunts, it was my aunt and her partner. They

got to adopt the youngest one right out of birth. So I felt like they had a super tight connection with her. Like that was their daughter and we weren't the other three kids. So because of that, like it really pushed me away. And there was some really messed up things that happened, um, due to like the favoritism that was going on there. Are we allowed to talk about it? Um, a little bit. Cause I mean, I've been very honest with my parents about how that

and how it's affected my entire life. If you see, like, there was no I love you's. There was no holding your hand across the street. There was no... And their excuse was always that we were always afraid that you were going to get taken away from us and you would go back and live with your mom. So we knew... So they couldn't tell you that they loved you? Right. We didn't want to build... They always said they didn't want to get attached to us because they were afraid we would leave. It's called gaslighting. So...

It just, I never, like I seek this attention. So I started getting it in negative ways because looking back, I realized it, but not in the moment. So I started acting out at school. I started doing whatever I could to get the attention. I'm 12 years old, you know? So we always go to this family reunion in Kentucky. And when I was 12, my Aunt Carolyn, she's like really my third cousin, but everybody calls her Aunt Carolyn. She's like, you know, you should live with me.

And I'm like, okay, I would live with just about anybody at that point. Like if you said you wanted me to live with you, I would. So I was like, okay, this is cool. I'll live with you. So I moved my, I asked my, uh, Michigan parents, I call them Michigan parents in Kentucky, my Kentucky family. Um, I was like, Hey, can I move to Kentucky? They're like, yes, please move to Kentucky. You know, like they did not give a shit. So I was like, okay. So I moved to Kentucky and, um,

That first year wasn't much better than what I was experiencing in Michigan. So then I moved back to Michigan. I was like, okay, well, like, I don't know what's worse of the two evils. So I moved back to Michigan and things just got like a lot worse. What happened when you did move in with the other aunt? Was it just more neglect, more trauma? It was almost like we were workhorses. We grew up a cattle farm and the more kids they had working for them, the like...

She grew up in a family of 12 kids on a farm, like the very poor country style living. I mean, so in her mindset, like you have kids to work. So I don't think she meant any harm by it, but that's what we did. You work for your food. You work for your shelter, like food.

That's kind of why you are out here working in the fields. We raise tobacco. I don't know if you know anything about tobacco, but tobacco work is probably the hardest work I've ever done in my entire life. It only has one season that you're off, and it's topping tobacco in the heat of the summer, and you're touching it, and you're getting a buzz from it, a nicotine buzz from

to stripping it at zero degrees weather in the barn. I was a cheerleader. I honestly played sports just so I wouldn't have to come home. Right. Because every time I did, and they were very strict. If I wasn't at a sporting event, I had to be at the house. I was never allowed to go to the movie theater. I was not allowed to leave the farm unless it was school or a sport. And I thought that was normal.

I thought everybody just had strict parents. That's how I was raised too. You're not allowed to do this. You're not allowed to do that. So I just, I never really realized it until I started getting older that how weird it was. Even when I went to college, I went to college in the same town I lived in and they paid for my car, which was only $1,500. Yeah.

But they paid for it. So they use that all the time. Well, you need to work for it. You need to work for it. It's been a year. Like, what do you like? If I would have got a job at minimum wage, I would have already worked for this car. So it was starting to process like, OK, this isn't making any sense. So they would always want me to come home on the weekends to work on the farm or to mow yards. And I'm like, OK, this doesn't even make sense.

So I kind of rebelled and said, fuck this. I'm out. And didn't talk to him for a couple years. That's when you ended up going back to Detroit? I never actually went back there. From the time I was 14 years old, when I came back to Kentucky, I never went back to Michigan. Oh, okay, you went back to Kentucky. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I went back to Kentucky because...

That's all you knew. Nope, nope. They said, hey, Brandy, we'll get you braces. We'll pay for your braces if you stay in Kentucky. I was like, okay. I wanted braces so bad. I would have pretty much done anything to have somebody get me braces. So two years later, after being on a wait list for two years, I finally got the braces that I wanted. So, yeah, I worked my fucking ass off. You worked for those things, didn't you?

Good job, Bradley. Yeah. I worked hard for everything. I can't with him. I cannot with him. Like, she's talking about really traumatic shit, and he's over here like... This is how he knows. He probably seen a tear creeping up, so he's like, I'll break this fucking right now. No. Dude, Brandy, that is, like, so much trauma to go through as a child. Have you worked through any of that trauma?

In your adult life? Have you, like, got counseling for it? A little bit. Every time I try to do counseling, I feel like it puts me in a really dark place. Well, yeah, you have to rip the wound back open. Yeah, and...

It's like it takes so long to get through the dark place that... But you're never really getting through it. I've never actually got out on the other side. Right. I've always gave up before then because it got too hard. Yep. That was one thing I learned when I had to go through all my healing shit was you literally have to become friends with the darkness. Because the more scared of it you are, the more it's going to hurt you again. But when you just embrace it, it literally...

will not consume you like it used to. Like, it becomes your fucking ally. You're like, holy shit, I didn't realize how much shit I really needed to heal in here. But you'll do that whenever you're ready. Every time I'm in therapy, I get, like, you know, they have to do that initial assessment. They're like, has this ever happened to you? Has this ever happened to you? And it's like, yes, all the way. Fucking all the way back down. They're like, oh my God. Yeah. Like, I remember the last therapist told me, like, Brandi, you should be so proud of yourself, not for this TikTok success you've had, but for literally just having...

Having a job, surviving, and being a mom that is not on drugs. Yeah. For what you've went through, you should just be proud that you ended up on the side of not being on drugs. Yeah, absolutely. You broke that cycle. And that kind of hit hard. Like, you know, I should be. Like...

I should be proud of where I am today instead of still allowing myself to beat myself up if I'm not at a certain level or because I went to college for four years and didn't get the degree that I went for. It's amazing that you went to college. I didn't even know you were there. Oh, yeah.

Only two of us in my family went to college. After all the trauma you went through to fucking even still go to college, like that speaks volumes of your character and like your work ethic and everything. You should really be proud of yourself for that. You got there. You got to stop and fucking smell the roses sometimes. Mimi does that with me too, because like I'm always like, we'll accomplish something. I'll be like, OK, what's next? Like, I don't even allow myself to be like, oh, my God, I did this. You know, it's just always like, OK, well, what's the next goal? You know, and that's trauma. You know, we are just we're

our asses off to forget about all the bullshit that we went through. So it's just instilled in us to be workhorses, you know, but that's not a way to live. You've got to like really stop and just say, you know what, Brandy, you did a fucking good job and pat yourself on the back. You know, I think that's where Billy comes in though. He has to remind me a lot. He's like,

Babe, look around. Like, you did this. Like, you did this. Just think about where you were when you met me. Yeah. You did this. Be proud. We're going to get into that. We got up to you getting to college. Let's find out where you grew up, and let's get you all the way up to where we got her. Well, you don't want to hear my story. Mine just... Mine's nothing like hers. Billy, we want to hear your story. You should share it. Yeah. My story, I just grew up in Harlan, Kentucky. That's all it was.

No. Yeah, it is. You're being a bubba. Come on. That's my story. You're not going to share at all what you went through as a kid? I wouldn't go through that. My childhood was great. It was great. He did have a really good childhood. He was very wealthy. So you grew up in Kentucky. Harlan, Kentucky. Awesome. And you have a great relationship with your parents. Yeah. Yeah. So how many is in your family? Ooh.

Brothers, sisters. Seven, right? Yeah, there was all together like seven of us. Wow, seven brothers and sisters or that's including mom and dad? Mom and dad also. Okay, gotcha. So you guys are a tight, close family? Kind of close, yeah, but not really tight. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm more close to my brother. I got three, like, stepbrothers and sisters, and one just blood. Gotcha. And I'm more closer to my stepbrother than I am about any of them. Aw, isn't that crazy how when you can kind of, like, pick your family, that they can become closer than blood? So what was your life like growing up in Kentucky? It was good. Yeah.

You're so shy. I don't know if you're embarrassed to tell people that you had a lot of money and that you had any car you ever wanted. That's amazing. I was jealous of people like you. So in Harlan County, in Kentucky--

These kids, I remember being a kid and be like, yeah, all those Harlan County boys are living on daddy's coal money. Like, it was a joke in my town. Yeah. Because our towns were like two hours apart and they're both really little country towns. About the same thing. But they had coal. You guys knew of each other but didn't know of each other. Yeah. Yeah. You come from a town and you come from money and...

That's amazing. So did you just say it? And then if you really don't want her to air it, just tell him. That's okay. I don't know the story. I don't know what you're talking about. It's okay. It's okay. We don't have to force them. So did you go to college and stuff like that? No, you didn't go to college. You just, I went to Lyman school and done the electrician school through college a little bit, but nothing.

Yeah. I've done it for the coal mines at first and then it all shut down. Is that what your family is in, is the coal mines? They was, yeah. Okay. I didn't even know that was still a fucking thing. No, it's been... I worked there for nine and a half years, I guess, in the coal mines as an electrician and then...

It shut down and then I left. You worked in the actual coal mines? Yeah. That's crazy. How are your lungs? It's 14 miles underground. God, that's got to be so fucking scary. My first day was. I have to have windows. If I don't have windows, I freak the fuck out. I would freak out. It's just dark. Yeah. Dark all the time. Did you ever see anything crazy down there? No. No weird shit? No ghosts? No. Nobody touched your butt down there? No. No.

I loved it. I enjoyed it. Yeah. But I'm glad I'm not there now, though. But that is a family trade, right? Okay, gotcha. So high school, everything? Any girlfriends you want to talk about? No, it was all crazy. He was a P-I-N-P. Yeah, he had the nice car, so he was picking up ladies left and right. Oh, I'm sure. It was fun, but...

All right. So you didn't go off to college. Brandy, you ended up going to college. Take me through your college years. College was fun. Yeah. I played softball for college. I had a full ride, a full scholarship for softball. I was very athletic. Are you into women? I wouldn't say that I'm into women sober. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. Anytime I'm drunk, Billy knows it. I'm like, oh my God, she's so hot. Billy, do you think she has a nice ass? That is a nice ass, right? It is, right? Literally, I'll be like,

is that a fake one? And he'll be able to tell me. Yeah. And he'll be like, let me look.

He's like, no, and he'll does what he does. I don't even know how he can fucking tell, but he'll tell me if it's real or fake. I'm the same way. Whenever I'm shit-faced, I just love bitches. I'm just like, come here. Yes, and I don't know what it is. I've been raised by lesbians my entire life. Two different sets. I mean, how weird and random is that? But the people who raised me in Michigan, lesbians. But back in the day, that was very...

Not talked about. When people would ask me why I live with two women, I would say they're sisters. Yeah. I mean, it was embarrassing because I would get made fun of for it. And then I moved to Kentucky and it was kind of the same thing. Like they didn't even admit it.

They still don't admit it. And I'm like, y'all live together. Yeah. My aunt Carolyn is straight up gay, but you're not. I'm so confused. Yeah. It doesn't even make sense. I think it's because she was such a Christian that she could never admit it because she'd be afraid of being thrown out of the church. But yeah. College was fun. College was fun. Go ahead. Can I use the restroom? Yes. So I got to pee. Yep, you can. That's right there. Okay.

I know. He's such a cutie. Yeah, Brandy's over here gritting her teeth. He's such a cutie. So college was great. And then when did you end up getting pregnant? So I actually, so I had a high school sweetheart. I was freaking crazy about him, super in love.

I even chose the college I went to because of, you know, he went there and he was a wrestler and I was like, Oh, I'm so in love. We're going to be together forever. Yeah. He cheated on me a lot, like a whole lot. Um,

And it was kind of like shocking and devastating all the time. We were prom king and queen. I went from being like voted the class clown and most athletic, most talkative, most mischievous. But when I was in Michigan, I was made fun of, bullied. It was really bad. And when I got to Kentucky, it's like I got a whole new identity. And I was this cool chick. I was like, whoa.

people like me. Yeah. People think I'm fucking funny. This is great. And realizing that I'm not getting the attention I want from home, I just would just always try to get it in a comedy kind of way. Right. So I was always like, sometimes comedy can get you in trouble. People would be like, I dare you to do. And I'm like, all right, I'll do it. So I'd always do really dumb shit to get myself in trouble in school, but never like

Not drugs and alcohol, that kind of trouble. It was more just acting up. Acting up. Yeah, I did the same shit. Acting like a crazy person. And I always got caught. Every time I did some fucked up shit, I was always the one who got caught. Yeah, and it's almost like I didn't even care because it was whatever. You didn't have anybody to really answer to. Yeah. Well, I mean, she would be waiting with a switch when I got home if the teacher called, but... Yeah. I...

honestly I could get whoopings all day I didn't give a shit about the whoopings it's like if you I mean really like to me it's it's for seconds and then it was done so it was like worth a lot of the fun I had um where were we again um you were talking about your high school sweetheart oh yeah so then we I went to college because of him so we broke up and I met my best friend her name's Kayla and

and we became best friends because we both just went through this crazy breakup. We realized we were so much alike. She was super freaking smart, though, and she was going to be a dentist. That's what she was going to do, and I was like, okay, well, I'm going to be a school teacher, an elementary school teacher. This is our freshman year, and...

We started partying like rock stars, but she was a smart partier because she always had her chemistry books out and we're taking shots while I'm helping her study. I still to this day don't understand why I didn't do my own damn studying. I was always helping her. Right. You were learning by osmosis. She did become a pediatric dentist and did her thing.

And we were best friends for, I would say, 15 years. And she's now in Georgia living her life. But we fell out of contact as soon as I got a divorce with my husband. So we'll rewind. And when I was hanging out with Kayla my freshman year, then I met my kid's dad.

And when I met my kid's dad, I like how you don't call him baby daddy. Yeah. I don't think he likes that term. No. Yeah. All right, guys. On tour, I had a lot of downtime, so I needed to fill that boredom. And guess what? I found this game that got me absolutely freaking hooked.

Body I stayed single for a year and that was about it. And then I met him and we got together He got deployed when I got pregnant with my daughter my fourth year of college Um right when I was modeling I started doing modeling bikini shoots. Um

And traveling for it. And I really, really wanted to do this. Like at 16 years old, I wanted to be a Victoria's Secret model. Like that was my dream. That was my goal. People made fun of me for it all the time. Like there's no way. And from 12 up, I was like, I'm going to be famous when I grow up. I'm going to be famous. Like it was just...

everybody asked me, what are you going to be when you grow up? A Victoria's secret model. I'm just going to be famous. I know it. Yeah. And no, I used to tell everybody I was going to be a video vixen or be married to a rock star. Yeah. I was like dead for even when I got my dental surgery, I had to have jaw surgery. And he's like, you can, you can skip this and we can give you a smile of a seven or you can get a smile of a 10, but it's going to be pain. Like I'm going to take a 10. I'm going to be a model one day. So, um,

My daughter was actually born when her dad was deployed to Iraq. Okay. And then, so I was 21 when I had my first kid. I got married first. I did it all by the book. And I would say our marriage ended very abruptly and quickly with like very little warning signs. When it got bad, it just got bad and it got bad really quick and boom, boom.

Who initiated the divorce? You? Him? I think in the beginning I did. But then when he did, I was like, kind of like, oh, fuck, maybe this is for real. Yeah. I didn't think it was real. Even when we moved out into separate houses, I was like, yeah, this isn't real. Right. He'll come back. Right. He never did. Well, thankfully. And then I literally was like, okay, wow, I don't have anything. I don't have a fucking car that I can afford.

I don't have a job. I didn't have a job at the time because I was raising my son as a stay-at-home mom. I'm like, not only do I not have a job, I don't have any money. I'm not even on anybody's bank account now. He just cut me off the bank account. And I'm like, okay, this is real. This really just hit me. And I was about to be evicted from my apartment when I met Billy. So how did me and Billy meet is the question. Yeah, are you going to talk about how you guys met, Billy? Oh, it's funny as fuck. Tell them, Billy.

Come on, just say it. It's so funny when you tell the story. Why are you so shy? I know. Where does the shyness go from? I met her on Facebook. Well, I didn't meet her on Facebook. I seen a picture of some girl and I think she's in a bikini maybe. Or maybe not. It's possible. Like a blue one maybe. I'm not sure. Sounds like you're pretty sure. I was rebelling. And I just messaged and said, hey, that was it.

And then I just... You got that swag, Billy. And then she messaged back and like some big story like she was crazy. Like, I'm going through all this. You don't want to talk to me. I'm psycho. You know, whatever. I was like, God almighty. You were hooked. You were like, yes, my kind of girl. And then we started talking and somehow, I don't know how, I don't understand it. I don't even know why I messaged back after I seen that. I don't really know.

and uh i don't either it was a really psycho message that describes you guys's personalities to a t like him man of many words hey and then you woman of not a lot of words writes a paragraph in short like a short i was like dude i'm crazy i'm going through a divorce i'm broke i'm like about to be evicted from my apartment i have two freaking kids you don't want nothing to do with me

I love that, though. How could you not respect that? That, like, I was so sick of, like, dating. No, you should. A person should have, like, pushed the block button at that point. I mean, like, for real. Uh-huh.

And I was like, you just want to fuck, don't you? I mean, if that's what you want, you could just say it. Like, I'm like in that dark place. Like, I'm just like so sick of everyone just want to fuck. And I heard this Tinder thing and I'm like, never even dated. I had been married my whole fricking life and now trying to date at fricking 29 years old. It was totally terrible. You guys, so you guys were married for about eight years. Yeah. We were together 10 years. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. It was a long time. Yeah. Uh,

I love that, though, that you were just like word vomit. Oh, it was. He messaged me at like a really, really bad time. And I said, you can call me, but I'm not doing this Snapchat thing where you just want to text and snap because...

It's just not going to work. And he's like, I'll call you. What's your number? Didn't we FaceTime? No. We just regular called, didn't we? Yeah, we regular. We had a phone call. Did he talk? He did. And he was like this kind of nervous, though, at the first conversation. I'll never forget it. I was nervous. He says,

I don't really, I don't say cuss words like you. You say fuck a lot. That was after that night though. And you're like, I don't drink either. I'm like, ho. He don't drink and he don't cuss, baby. Come here. That's what I need in my life right now.

that was probably the most the thing he said that turned me on I was like oh my god I just found my soulmate no it's a child going like a couple dates and then one I can't sit on her and then once you cancel me yeah and then we finally made up at a Olive Garden I drove two hours to go eat lunch or dinner was dinner wasn't yeah dinner and then she wouldn't get out my car I was like it pouring the rain

We sat in the car for like two hours after we ate, and I'm like, God, I just want to go home. You won't get it. You weren't trying to bang her after some breadsticks and everything else? No, I was trying to go home.

I was trying to get out of there. She couldn't talk so much. I even hinted like, y'all, you want to make out? Like, you want to give me a little sugar here? And he was not taking the bait. She said, I even hinted, do you want to make out? You want to give me a little sugar here? Well, she's got something. I don't want to kiss her. He really, he was thinking, he was,

for 15 fucking years. This guy was terrified. I mean, I would never know that because I couldn't get anything out of him. I'll give it to you, girl. So you were married for 15 years. Yeah. Okay. To who? Like a high school sweetheart or? No, not a high school sweetheart. Okay, so this was after. 17, 18 years old.

17, I'd say. 17 and a half. Okay, so you guys were married for fucking a hell of a long time. Yes, 15 years. Did you guys have kids together? Yeah, we got two. Okay, awesome. So we got a, he's 18 and we got a 15. He was 18 when he had his first kid. Oh, I was 18 when I had my first kid, yeah. Oh, wow, okay. And we got married when I was, I just turned, about turned 19, I guess. Okay, awesome. And then, so what happened in that marriage? You guys were together for a long fucking time. I'm gonna pee.

No, I don't know. You're not doing that. That was just... It was just... I don't know. It just... We... I don't like talking about it. I don't... We... You guys had two... So you guys had two kids together. Yes. You worked in a coal mine. Did she work in a coal mine too? No, she owned her own gymnastics. Okay, gotcha. She was like a gymnastic teacher. Gotcha. I bet she had a banging body because all those gymnasts have banging bodies. And...

The coal mine shut down. We moved to Florida. I was there for five years, four and a half, something like that. And then we started having problems in Florida. What were the problems? Just like regular marriage problems? She just said she wasn't happy. Oh, gotcha. I don't know. Not enough tension, you know, whatever. I did work a little bit, but not a lot. I was home every day by five o'clock, you know. Right. And then I was having a lot of trouble at the end before we left Florida. Gotcha. Well, we owned our own business before it shut down, whatever.

And she just kept saying she wasn't happy and all this. So I told her, you know, that I'm just ready to move back home just in case something did happen. So we wouldn't be split up and the kids would be stuck in Florida. You know, they're... Right. Want us to be at the opposite place. And so we packed up. We moved. And then I guess I was there two months. No, I would say six weeks, I guess. Something like that. And this beautiful house you bought. This...

We decided to get a divorce, so I left. I lived in with my dad for several months. How long after the divorce did you send the Facebook message to Brandi? I'd say four months, five, six. No, I'd say like eight. No, you... When did I get a divorce? Yeah. Well, you weren't divorced, but when you split up with her...

It was that summer. And you didn't message me. I don't remember that far back. Yeah, he doesn't have a good timeline. So you guys broke up in the summertime. And then me and you started messaging right around Thanksgiving. But we didn't go on our first date until Christmas. It was Christmas Day. All right, so let's get back to the Olive Garden conversation. You won't get the hell out of his truck. No, I'm just constantly... It gets funnier.

And I can't imagine it getting funny. And so after like two hours, she finally got out. She's fine. She's whatever, you know, bye. And he wouldn't touch you or make out with you this whole time? No, I was like, this dude is not into me. He is not into me. I rode down my window and she come over and give me a hug, you know.

And then she, like, come in really fast and, like, tongue punched my mouth. Oh, it was so freaking funny. And I was like, what? And I just... That was his face. I literally went to kiss him. And I went... As a joke, like, because that's just who I am. Yeah. I could tell he was terrified. Yeah. And...

I just wasn't. And he still talks about how like creeped out he was. You could have been that creeped out because you married her. You know, like there was some, there had to have been something about her that you were just like, what the fuck is wrong with this girl? I have to find out more. There definitely had to have been. Because it gets even better. Go ahead. Let's hear it. Oh, I just was like, dude, this guy's not into me. Right. So I was like, you know, this ain't ever going to work. He lives two hours away.

fuck. I just get on Snapchat and I'm like, and I sent him a picture of my tits. Yeah, we have Snapchat. Yeah, he started sending a bunch of naked pictures. I'm like, you know, we're not gonna date. I tried to do it the smooth way, you know, like, the right way. Yeah, the right way. She said, just come back. I was like, I'm going home. I was like, come back to my apartment. And, you know, like, I'm really now sending him some serious shit. He said no. Were you just scared? Were you intimidated? It was just,

I don't know, it just like... He was. He was a... I don't know, it just felt... He was shy and I don't think that... It had been so long since he's been with another woman that he was terrified. So you hadn't dated anybody after the divorce? Oh, no. You were just... Okay, so... I had friends, but I never like... Right. You know, like that. Okay, so you were just like a little fresh little spring baby, spring chicken just out into the world. This girl was like... So I'm curious as to how... When did you finally get some dick?

Out of him. His eyes. I don't know. Oh, I do. Was it with Bahamas? No. No. Yeah, I'm worried. Yeah, so we didn't have our kids on Christmas. This was the first Christmas that we were going to have to be divorced. Both of us went through a divorce at the same exact time. Wow. They were both really miserable. We were both... I mean, we can be honest. Like...

I was madly in love with my ex. He was madly in love with his ex. It was a very devastating breakup for both of us. He came into the relationship telling me that his ex-wife hung the moon and like... And I think that had... I had more respect for him. Yeah. Because he... Because he didn't talk shit. Yeah, he really did not talk shit about his ex to me. Like, he just...

He actually like expressed how much he loved her and that made me more attracted to him. Yeah. And I expressed the same to him. And he, he always said for like the first year, you know, I don't want to divide a family. So like, if you still have feelings for your ex-husband, I would, I would encourage you to go back to that. Like he really was all about it. And as was I like, you know, we really loved each other, but we knew what family meant to both of us. Right. So yeah,

That was definitely important to both of us. So you guys, after the Olive Garden, you guys still kept in contact? Did you guys see each other again? Nope, not until the Christmas day. Not until these... And I ran... I was broke. I was broke, broke. Were you sending him nudes this whole time too? I tried, but he was not taking it. He wasn't that guy. Yeah. That's attractive. Yeah, I was like, oh my God. Especially in this fucking day and age. He didn't... He wasn't into that. He just wanted to FaceTime me.

And man, he would just like be so sweet and he wasn't cussing and he wasn't talking dirty or it's just like his intentions were so pure. Right. That's how it is with Jay. Jay is the most vanilla, like straight laced dude. And you would never think that looking at him. But I loved that about him because it was like, I could just taint him, you know, like it was very attractive. So attractive. Yeah. He really never even drank either. And I'm like, God, this is just, this is amazing.

So I hinted around on a FaceTime call that we should go somewhere for Christmas so we're not miserable alone at houses wanting to be with our families. So we went to Gatlinburg together on our second date, spent the night in Gatlinburg for a whole weekend. I was like, this is either going to be really good or really, really bad. You're going to be chasing him around trying to get some tongue. Yes. And I remember I'm like, okay, he's a good guy, Brandy. Do not sleep with him.

Don't sleep with him. I was always the chick that never wanted her number to go above 10. Right. Like, and I wasn't single very long. So my number really never got above 10. Right. So I didn't sleep around with a lot of people, but I just knew like I really wanted him. Yeah. And I was like, don't do it. Cause then he's not going to want you. He's not going to want you.

But he came on to me. Aw, you finally did? Second date. I don't remember that. I don't remember. Second date. What do you remember? Let's hear what you remember. I don't even remember it. Well, that's sad. No, it ain't sad. I just don't remember it. What the fuck is all about? You do remember it. He was really nervous. Yeah. He couldn't perform. I don't remember. Because...

I mean, to be honest, he really felt... He was intimidated. He felt guilty. Like he was still doing something wrong. And when he opened up about it, I'm like, oh my God. You're like, come here, let me swaddle you. Yes, come here, baby. It is okay. Yeah, he really just still wasn't ready to be with another woman. And I'm like, you know, that...

I respect it. It was weird. And it took him a while. Yeah. It was weird. Did you guys bang that Gatlinburg trip? No. We tried, but just... You could tell his... I felt guilty and it felt wrong. Yeah. I just was like... He says something about this just...

It just might have been too soon or something. I don't really know. In his mind, I think it was just too soon. Gosh. Do they make them like you anymore, Billy? That's crazy. That's what I said. I started falling deeper in fucking love with him. Yeah, that's crazy. So, okay, moving on. But he did. Then I was like, okay, so maybe he's just like a prune or something. But no, we got into that elevator.

And he slammed me up against the wall and started making out with me. I'm like, okay, okay. What happened? Wait, when? Remember? I thought that was in... No, it was on that second date, honey. I'll never forget some of this stuff. But this was in Gatlinburg? Yes, we got in the Margaritaville elevator. And like the freak of Billy came out and he just like took me by the neck, slammed me up against the elevator wall and just started making out with me. Were you drinking? Yeah.

No, he wasn't. Sober? I know. And he grabbed my booty and just like lifted me up. I was like, whoa. Where did he come from? And did you guys finally bang or no? No, it just got real fun. She said it just got real fun. I was like, okay, so he's into me. He just, he really, that story he told was genuine and true. And then we went home, right? And then our third date was Bahamas, right?

Yeah, we went to Bahamas on a cruise with her family. My Michigan family. And that was like a crap show, and it was like, oh my gosh. A crap show. It wasn't bad. Tell them why. Why you thought it was so bad. The first night, I believe, the first night was good, I believe.

But the second night, Brandi decided to get drunk, like, hammered. Well, I had a patch behind my ear. And any time I ever drink on any type of medication, I get blackout and I fucking go nuts. What was the patch for? Dizziness. Oh, gotcha. You're not supposed to drink on those. No, no, no. I drank three drinks, Red Bull and Vodka's, and I was gone. And she was on the boat walking around everywhere naked. And I was like, oh, my gosh.

What did I get myself into? Because I was there with, it was nothing but women. I went with, it's all girls. It was all women because they're lesbians. Both sides, it's nothing but girls. Yeah. And I was there by myself and I was like, I call my dad next morning, it's like, oh my God. I need to come home but I'm in the Bahamas and I'm like, this girl's crazy. If I could have got off the boat, I would have left and I probably would have came back. Oh no. I was just like, she's crazy.

She's crazy, you know? I found her in the cafeteria. I was sitting there eating in... Or not the cafeteria, but whatever you call it. Wherever you get food at in there. Cafeteria. And she come walking through...

I was like, what the crap? And she was just... He's very conservative. So this was mortifying to him. I mean, like, butthole naked? I had a thong, but it wasn't on. It was like a loose one, and it got wet in the hot tub. So that's what happened. I got in the hot tub. So it was more like just cutting over to the side. So it never even covered the... And I was like, oh, my gosh. Get me out of here. Let's go home. Oh.

And then I finally got on a little towel. Brandi, you're my kind of girl. I love it. See, people don't know this side of me. No, I love it. They really think I'm this, like, but it's because that's how I want people. Billy's super conservative, so I can't, like, be this, like, just crazy, wild woman. No, I think he's good for you, though. Yeah, he tames me down. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So, Billy, you still ended up banging her, though, in the Bahamas, so. I think so, right? Yeah. Yeah. So, how did that go? What was it like the first night?

I loved it, but it just felt kind of weird, I guess. I don't know. I guess... Yeah, I don't remember any sex in the palm of my hand. It was a different person, I guess, in the 15 plus years or whatever. It was weird, but... Yeah. But you were like, okay, I think I could do this again. Yeah. Do you have a black eye right now? Me? No. No, I wrecked a razor. Oh, okay. And it still stays black up here on top. Poor thing. Brandy punched me.

A lot of people really thought that when for a long time. Oh, anytime I get worked on on my face and everybody's like, what happened to you? Like I'm going to be like, Oh, I mean it's been shut for like weeks. Yeah. No, I, I injuries I have, I, my eyes got blacked out in a domestic violence relationship and they're still black and blue underneath. Like it's crazy that when you damage your eyes, it takes forever for that shit to go away. Yeah. It really ain't. Yeah.

So moving on from the Bahamas, you guys decided to make it official and become a relationship or how did that go? And then she found love and said she loved me like two weeks later. And how did you feel? I told him I don't fall in love easy. You had to have loved her crazy. She said,

I won't tell you I love you first. And she was the first one to say I love you first. Right? I did, yeah. I was shocked. I was surprised that I did, though. Because I love you is not something that was said to me. It's not something that was said easily. My whole Kentucky family, they hang up the phone like, love you, babe.

No, like that freaks me out. I'm better now at saying I love you. And I make sure I tell my kids like they'll be like, I know, mom, you love me. But it's not something that was ever easy to say because it wasn't never said to me. But you're breaking a lot of generational curses. Heck yeah. Even doing that with your kids like that's breaking a curse that you were raised in. So.

It's amazing. So let's talk about this wedding. Here we go. You ready? Yep, go ahead. I don't remember, so I can't talk about it. What in the fuck happened? Okay, so...

The wedding day, the day of the wedding, we split up at about, I think, 12 o'clock, maybe 1 o'clock to go our own ways in separate cabins. So all the groomsmen go in a cabin, all the bridesmaids go in a cabin. Did you propose to him? Hell no. Okay. So you actually proposed. On a cruise ship. Oh, good. Like four months, five months after being together. But we didn't get married for... A couple years. Yeah, several years. We wanted to make sure, like, baby mama, baby daddy...

was all out of the picture. Right. All that was, and that's kind of why my speech that I gave when he walked down the aisle was so sentimental. I said, I told him and made a promise that I'll never walk down that aisle and give you my heart if I couldn't give you the whole thing. So I wanted to be 100% over my ex-husband and not giving him any of my heart before I could promise my entire heart to Billy. Right. So like there was a lot of meaning and I walked down the aisle by myself and

because I felt like the place I got to from that point, I got there on my own, like independently. So I wanted to be the one to...

My walk signified my independence of getting to where I was today. It really pissed a lot of people off that I didn't have anybody walk me down the aisle. But I also don't have a dad. And my wedding was very much like, I'm going to do this the way I want to do it. It's our second weddings. This is going to be exactly what we want. Not what everybody else thinks we should have. It's not going to be based on religion. Although...

It's just not going to be a religion traditional based marriage. Right. Being an adult has its high points like you can eat ice cream or pie for dinner anytime or stay up past

You guys have heard me talk about it on the podcast numerous times, but let's discuss obsessive compulsive disorder, or as most of you know, OCD. Now I know some people joke about being a little OCD, but as someone who's actually living with OCD, I'll be the first to tell you it's not a laughing matter.

And it isn't just being tidy or organized. OCD is actually having disturbing, unwanted thoughts that cause you overwhelming anxiety because they just feel so wrong and you really don't want to be thinking about them. It's also repetitive physical or mental behaviors you do to try to make the anxiety from those thoughts go away. But that just doesn't work in the long run and they just keep coming back. The idea that OCD is only about hand washing and organization is

a complete misconception. OCD can latch onto anything, but it often focuses on the things we care about most. Our relationships, religious beliefs, our hobbies and passions in an attempt to make the distress from their unwanted thoughts go away. People with OCD will

often engage in repetitive physical or mental behaviors known as compulsions. And actually I call them my rituals, which can be incredibly time consuming and exhausting. No CD is a virtual therapy provider for OCD that makes getting specialized therapy easier than ever.

12 or 1. 12 or 1. So I walk down the aisle and the first, my audio message first plays before I walk down the aisle. And then when I walk down the aisle is when I have my song.

already crying before I even come out and I've never seen Billy cry Billy does not cry like he's just the tough guy he's a country boy he's not a crier yeah I and I told him you better fucking cry like shed just two tears like of emotion that I look so damn fucking hot that you just are blown away that's the feeling I want

I said, please do it. Like, can you fake it? So we even like made jokes. Like everyone, like one guy's like, I'll punch him in the nuts. And another guy's like, I'll have a water bottle hidden and spray him in the face. Right. So he'll cry. Billy was sobbing. I got halfway down the aisle and then he like breaks down and I was like, I stop. I was like, oh my God, what the fuck is wrong with him? Yeah. And I was like, he's drunk. He's gotta be drunk. Drunk and just sweating and he's having a panic attack.

because he's so nervous. He's like, gets really nervous in front of people. And he kept saying that. He's like, I'm so nervous about being up there. Please don't make me say any vowels. And I didn't. He didn't have to talk. I said, you really will be up there for three minutes. And he's just sobbing. So I'm like, what is going on? So I get up to the front and I'm still just smiling, you know, pretending everything's great. And then the preacher dude starts giving the, you know, doing his job, reading a wedding. And he starts crying.

From the bottom. From the bottom of the wedding thing instead of the top. And reads it backwards. And reads it backwards. And so we're starting out by doing our shots. Like it was a tequila. We're doing tequila shots and his was water. Mine was water. We made sure that his had water in it because he. I can't take a shot. He wouldn't be able to take the shot without a chaser. So I was like, and mine was like this much full. Cause I was like, you know, I just, I don't want to make weird faces. Right.

We're starting the ceremony with shots. I'm like, oh, what's going on? Yeah. Then the guy that's marrying us says some weird stuff. He's like kind of stumbling a little bit like this. He looks exactly like Billy looks. They both have this really, really red face. Just sweat. It is 93 degrees out. So I'm like, maybe they're both like freaking about to have a heat stroke or something. I don't know what the fuck's going on. Right. And I'm just smiling away. And he says, uh,

what, what name are we using? Is it a Wiseman? The whole, everyone's like, that's my ex's name. That's the name I came from my other marriage. So it was super embarrassing. And I'm like, and Billy, he's like, Engel. Like, no, it's Engel. And he's like, oh, and he, he laughs. And then he just like says Engel. And I'm like, okay, what is, that's not even in the paper. Like what is happening? Right. And then he looks at me. He's like, what do I say next?

The guy who's officially... Marrying us. Wow. And I'm like, I don't know. I've never done this before. Like, I've never married somebody. Yeah. You've had like six months to prep for this. Yeah. And I put the flowers up and I said...

just like you may kiss the bride like yeah uh mr and mrs engel like you may kiss the bride i think i've seen that shit in the movies yeah and he says it and we kiss each other and then that was it it was like two minutes right because at that point i knew something was weird i don't know what's wrong but something's fucking going crazy right so we walked down the aisle and

And right after we get married, the wedding literally lasted two minutes. Two minutes. My kind of wedding. We walked down the aisle and now it's time to take our pictures.

So I go, my dress is huge. So I get into the air condition and Billy's going to get into the car behind us. And first Billy is still crying. Like, and I'm hugging him and stuff and trying to get him to calm down. And he's still just like sopping crying. Then my kids are crying and then his kids are crying. Everybody's freaking crying. I'm like, oh my God, what, what happened? Like, is this normal or wedding supposed to be this like much of crying? Like, I mean, I get being sad or like happier, but I don't know what's happening.

So we go to take our pictures on the top of the mountain and Billy has this margarita in his hand. So we go, we, I'm waiting in the car and I have three people first come up to me like, Brandy, Billy's not doing okay. And I'm like, I know what, does anybody know what's going on? And they're like, no. And then a rumor, first rumor was that he took a Viagra. I'm like, a Viagra? My husband took a Viagra? There is no fucking way. Yeah. Like,

Blue Chew? Did he take a Blue Chew? Because that's what we promote. But that's still not a Viagra. Yeah. And they're like, he had to. I really think. So I'm thinking, okay, well, maybe he did. And that's what it's got him feeling like his heart is racing. He's just not acting normal. So we have a nurse who it was a cop and a nurse that we just met randomly that weekend.

and we forgot the cupcakes so we had them they just thought we were really cool so they they brought them to us so i asked the nurse i was like do you care to check them out before we take the pictures and she goes brandy he has right his heart is racing he uh his blood pressure's up like he just he i don't know i don't know did he take anything i'm like

What do we mean? And did he take anything? Cause if you're asking if he took drugs, then no, he doesn't do drugs. Like I can tell you that with my entire heart, he does not do drugs. Yeah. Billy didn't even drink. The guy doesn't fucking cuss. Yeah. Um, he did start drinking where he started enjoying, uh, drinking tequila when he got with me. Right. Um, the guy can drink though. Like he could drink an entire fifth of tequila and be funny, but be fine. Right. I've seen him drink.

so much so i'm like he hasn't even had time to drink an entire fifth of tequila to be like this so there's got to be more to this going on right i didn't know though i had no idea so we get up to the top of the mountain he has his margarita in his hand and i said god give me a drink of that i'm sober as can be and i'm stressed and i was like uh somebody's like oh that's billy's drink i'm like okay give it here like no that's billy's drink so i'm like okay

That's weird. Fuck, somebody get me a beer then. And that's all that's going through my mind. And later on in the day, we were told that

Well, Billy just kept acting weird. We started doing, uh, we went to the reception. He's still being crazy. He's still sweating. I still don't know what's going on. People keep asking like, so why did you go on with the wedding? Because I don't know what else to do. I don't know what's happening. All these people there. I have all these people here. I'm, I'm keeping an eye on him. I'm watching him. I don't know what's happening, but I know that something isn't right. Do I think that like he's been drugged? Fuck no. That's not even came into my mind yet. Do I think he's on drugs? I,

would never even it would never cross my mind right um so then he's just acting weird and it got about eight o'clock our wedding wasn't supposed to be over until about 10 o'clock about eight o'clock the wedding director person says brandy billy's in the fountain sitting and i'm here my feet being wet though and he has a memory of his like looking at everything's blacked out oh yeah i don't remember i just remember like i don't even know what i remember anymore i just remember sitting in the water i remember that and i remember like

Being behind the air conditioning unit sometime or another. I don't remember that, but there was parts where I couldn't deal with it anymore that I had to send him to somebody else because I was devastated. I was in tears. I was about to divorce him the next day. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. So I get to the fountain. I said, Billy, get out of the fountain. What are you doing? And I said, it's time to get the fuck up. Like, what the hell is happening here? He said, fuck you, bitch. To you? Yeah. And I'm like, oh, my God.

He's never cussed before. Literally like my first, I'm like, oh my God, he just said a cuss word. Yeah. And he just cussed at me. Yeah. That's when it just dawned on me like something is bad wrong with this dude. Yeah. So really I'm just thinking maybe he's just got really fucked up and then he's got the heat on top of that. And then on top of that, it's his anxiety because he's been stressed about the wedding and being in front of people.

So I get him out of there. Well, then he starts fighting with other people and that takes, and then we leave the wedding and it gets worse and worse. But then now we're, I mean, he's fighting with everybody. And then one minute he's like just pouring his love out. And then the next minute he's like, fuck everybody. Fuck your family. Fuck my family. And then 30 minutes later, he's like, I love you so much. And then 30 minutes after that, he's like bringing up his childhood pain.

out of nowhere. I've never even heard these stories before. Yeah. I mean, when he was like seven years old, he's talking about a steak that, I mean, I never heard these stories. Like this shit was going deep. Right. And then it's like now two o'clock in the morning and we're still fighting, trying to get Billy to go to bed. I cannot get Billy to go to bed. He's breaking my heart. And, uh, like at the same time, he's just like melting my heart. Cause he would be so sweet 30 minutes and then a flip. And he was just like,

fuck your family i'm just like okay what's happening right you're like oh my god so finally i i said i'm calling the cops i need an ambulance here something isn't right uh and two dudes are like

No, that's not necessary. You don't want to get your husband in trouble. I'm like, he's not getting in trouble. Something's wrong with him. Like, this is not normal. Like, something's got to be wrong with him. He will not go to bed. Drunk Billy, you can just push him into bed. He's going to go to bed. Yeah. I know this guy. Like, we never are not with each other. We've never partied without each other. We've never been to a bar without each other. Like, I know this guy. They're like, no, don't. I'm like, okay, fine, I won't. I said, you deal with him then. You make sure that he doesn't fall off a fucking cliff.

because that's what I'm worried about right now. Yeah. I'm worried about he's so gone that he's just going to fall off a cliff. So then these two dudes are like, Brady, we need to tell you something. I'm like, all right, I'm all ears. We found a little baggie in y'all's truck. I said, okay, let's go. Let's show it to me. Let me get it. So neither one of them can produce the bag. So I'm like, okay, well, let's go fucking look in his truck. I'm not a naive bitch. I'm going to figure this shit out. Yeah. So I ransack our truck like top to bottom.

Thinking, well, Billy hasn't even drove his truck. We've had other people driving our truck today. Right. And then we have now another person saying that they had 10 Adderall missing out of their purse. I'm like, well...

What the heck? So first we're, they're trying to accuse these people are trying to say that Billy's done cocaine. I'm like, well, you don't act like that on cocaine. I'm like, well, where the fuck would he get cocaine from? You know? And if he's going to, people were offering him marijuana and everything before he got married. And he's like, no, no, no. So now I'm being like, people are like convincing me that he's doing cocaine. Like, well, why would he do that? There's just no way, but I'm not going to be naive. And I'll, I'll do some research because,

And then comes to find out that there's Adderall missing. And I'm like, it's still to me. I'm not thinking that somebody has put Adderall on his drink or has drugged him. Cause why would I? I mean, it's all people that we know and love. The next morning finally got, he didn't go to bed until 5. AM next morning. Uh, he has no idea what's going on. And I haven't been able to get him separate. Cause we're about to leave for a honeymoon in Mexico. I said, Billy, do you remember anything from last night? He goes, no. Uh,

Not really. Why? And you could tell he was kind of like in a fog. Like he wasn't like sure what was going on. Almost like he didn't even know what he was doing there. Yeah. He still was kind of messed up. I said, Billy, did you do drugs? He said, what? Why would you even ask me something like that? He's like, no. And I'm like, how much did you drink? He said, I took about three shots.

I'm like, is that what you remember? He goes, yeah, I took, I remember taking three shots. And then after that, he got his first margarita that someone made him. He doesn't remember anything after that. So somebody did make him a drink. Do you guys know who drugged him?

We don't. We have our suspicions. And was it Adderall? It was Adderall? Yes, it was Adderall. We got drug tested. We were just on our way and he's still crying. Oh. I cried for like four days. Four days straight. God, how much fucking Adderall did they pump in you? The nurse said that due to Adderall, him not having ADHD and the amount of alcohol he had,

that it wouldn't get out of his system for four days. Wow. The dude really was emotional and cried for four days straight. I was having so much anxiety that I couldn't leave the country. I was already nervous about leaving the country. I canceled my honeymoon. We just drove to the state of Florida, didn't we? Yeah, then we just, but he, it came back that he tested positive for,

I forget what the drug comes up on a drug screen. It's letters. Yeah. But there was two things that could have been, it was Adderall and something else I had never heard of. Right. But then the next morning we're getting friends telling us that one friend had Adderall missing this friend's blaming this friend, this friend's blaming this friend, this friend's blaming this person.

So do we know? No, we don't know who it was. Do I know what happened? Fuck yeah, I do. That's terrible. I know with out a shadow of a doubt that Billy was drugged at our wedding and it completely destroyed it. Oh, that is so fucked up. I can't even, that's like my biggest fear too. I won't even drink like bottles of water that have been opened in my own studio. We are totally different. It's not like drinking to go to a bar or anything. Oh yeah, I won't drink at a bar

at a bar. Like, I don't trust anybody anymore because people really don't get... They'll drug you and they don't even care what happens to you. Like, they don't want to fuck you or anything. They just want to inflict pain on somebody. Inflict pain, humiliate. Yeah. I mean, we don't know the intent either. Like, it could just been...

I mean, we really want to think positive about it that maybe the intent was more like, hey, let's just get Billy really loose and let him have a good time. I mean, kind of like that's what I hope they were thinking because any other reasons just really, really fucked up. But he was on the verge of having like a heart attack. No, that's what I'm saying. They're so lucky that it wasn't like a medical condition.

Because it sounds like it caused sort of like a manic mania in you. Because he was on a prescription medicine. Right. So he's on a prescription. Now he's drinking tequila and then on Adderall on top of the tequila and a prescription drug that he was prescribed to by a doctor. Right.

you mix those three together yeah and you get a chaos that's what it was it was chaos and the fact that he couldn't go to bed until five that's not drunk drunks go to they pass out like girl i've been there too many no i had a friend who stayed up for days on adderall like that and you start hallucinating and it's like crazy you know like if you abuse he didn't realize where he was at times and there were so many emotional states that it was weird

And I'm mad at him actually, because he's saying hurtful things and I don't know that he's been drugged. I just, I'm mad, you know, I'm really upset because he's saying these fucked up shit. Like he's saying things I'd never heard him say. Yeah. So it took me a while to like get over it. Yeah. I mean, that's your guy's wedding too. And he has no idea. He has no idea what he said. He has no idea what happened. Yeah. So moving on from that, when did you guys get on TikTok? Yeah.

2020, about April of 2020. Take me on this TikTok journey and how it's changed you guys' lives and then let's dive into the OF too. Okay, you ready? I just figured you'd have something to say. I've given up on trying to ask Billy questions. So I got on TikTok during quarantine. I was a dental assistant and we got put out of work. My daughter would not do her homework and she's like, I don't want to do it. And I'm like,

okay i got an idea i'll do a tick tock with you if you do your homework so i did a tick tock with her it was fun we posted it she had she did she set my entire tick tock up she was eight years old at the time no um and then i did another one with her and it was like a way to get her to do her homework i would do this thing that she was really into and then we would do homework right um then we all did one as a family and it was fun and then i did one of billy just

just something really stupid and it got like 5,000 views and we're like oh this is so cool like wow like who would have thought that something would get viewed that many times

And then I would say I got to around 75,000 followers and Billy thought this was the dumbest fucking shit he had ever dealt with. He's like, I hope Trump bans it. I hate it. He kept... He's like, I'm going back to work. He's like, there's no TikTok. I'm like, oh my God, no, I hate this. He did. He hated it. I hate it. So one night I finally got him convinced to do a TikTok with me.

and it blew up yeah as soon as i put billy's country accent in it and his humor it blew up so then he wanted to do another one and another one and then about 2021 uh i would say we when we started growing we we started growing like rapidly how it happens yeah um so we i think we went from like 300 000 to 3 million in a matter of six months

It had to be a very short period of time. And I finally started realizing, so then I started studying it. It wasn't something that just we got lucky on. Then I started studying the algorithm. I started YouTubing things. I started trying to figure out what our niche was. I mean, I was spending every waking moment at trying to figure out how to make this work. At the same time, I have his ex making fun of me for being on TikTok. I have my ex being like, you're such a fucking loser. This is so lame.

And I was like, meanwhile, you have 3 million people following you and they have none. And I'm like, I don't care. I'm, I'm telling you something's going to come up this. I just, I believed it in my heart. And I had so many people like just really bashing me for being on this social media platform. They'd make fun of me for this or this. And I really did not care. Yeah. Um, he would call me ignorant. People would get really upset. And then I just realized like what was working for us is, um,

conversations that real couples have like let's just have them you guys need to just literally sit down and just do exactly what you did here like literally it is so funny how your guys's dynamic is hilarious in person too like i wish people could see that side of you guys too like you guys see it in your tiktoks but it's you know it's not as free-flowing as it is here and that shit is so funny dude you guys are genuinely fucking hilarious

So what a lot of people don't realize is that they're like, oh, you guys are so fake. It's such a skit. Well, fucking duh, dude. It's a skit. But let me explain to you real life. So this is I'm going to give you an example of how we record a TikTok. So this is how it goes. Hey, Billy, we got to do it. Come on. We got to do a TikTok today.

let's just go with the one the imaginary friend that's the new TikTok trend that's going on that couples are doing so he knows that there's a camera there he knows that we're doing the imaginary friend TikTok I mean obviously all these couples know yeah absolutely now do we that's it that's all we know that's that's what I'm going to tell you right so we know one line so now I'm going to be like over here in the back seat beating up the imaginary friend and then

everything's a real reaction we just go with it and just say what comes and the things billy says are so fucking funny yeah and he's so funny like he's witty no and he doesn't even realize it that he comes up with the craziest freaking things out of nowhere and it is so hard for me to keep a straight face because i'm like oh my god did he really just fucking say that yeah and i think

People fell in love with you guys just because you guys... Were you guys one of the first TikTok couples? I think we were one of the first TikTok couples that really blew up. Yeah. I remember when you guys came on my FYP, I was like, these motherfuckers are funny. And then these recent couples, I feel like they'll go to the bottom of our page and then start doing those skits. And I'm like, oh, look, that's our skit. Yeah. And when I say skit... And you don't get the credit for it. I wish people would credit people. Oh, I know. We really try to do that because...

A lot of these are things that I come up with on my own or like, yeah, we'll have a real life situation happen. So then we'll make comedy out of it. Like just happens to be with poop a lot. Yeah.

I love poop. It's my favorite subject. I crap myself in the car. So obviously we didn't record it happening. Right. But we literally just recorded how it happened. Yeah. No, that's how skits are made. And it's just as funny because it's real. Like that's really how grossed out he was. He literally had his head hanging out the window. I'm like, please don't smell me. Please, God. Can you please? Oh, I will be so embarrassed if you smell my poop. Can you please just stick your head out the window? Just...

It's so real. When did OF come into play? Did you guys start that the same time as TikTok or after you guys blew up? It was way after we blew up. Tell me how that's changed your life. You created it like a year before we ever even used it. I did create it a year before just like trying to introduce the idea to Billy. But Billy was a little jealous, very conservative. I just really never thought he would go for it. Right. Never thought he would go for it. We got on OF in May.

Right around the time we got married. Right. We kept it very hush-hush because we had brand deals that we were working with that we didn't think would approve of it. Right. So we kept it really on the DL. So our first month on OF was very low-key, and we did okay at it, but we just...

That was it, because we kept it so low-key. The second month, though, we're like, all right. I mean, cat's out of the bag now. Let's just... I mean, you're either in or you're out. You know, you can't be halfway. No, yeah, you can't. Yeah. We didn't show our faces for two months. And then... Close to three, I would say. Yeah. And then it really took off in August. It freaking changed our lives. Yeah. No, OF is fucking crazy. It was the craziest. We just were...

Mind blown. And it's been a very hard adjustment though. Like on so many levels, like one, a money level, like going from like trying to paycheck to paycheck. And the most I had ever made was $30,000 in a year. Right. So now like being debt free, completely debt free.

I still, honest to God, still today, I still can't comprehend. We still catch ourselves like when we go to the store, like, do we need to buy this? But knowing we can, you know, but we're still like, you know, we still need to. We are still like really scared to spend money because we. I hoard money too. I'm the same way because it's just trauma from being so poor. Well, you weren't poor though. He wasn't poor. What are you shaking your head over here for saying yes? But it is, is you're hoarding money because you're just never having it.

Yeah, so then I feel like recently we've been... I think that's what's gave me so much anxiety is because...

Now people are perceiving me as this different person because I am different person. You're not, it's almost like you're not allowed to grow. I'm not allowed to grow. They want you to grow. They want you to keep it real. But then once you're doing good, they, it's like, they hate seeing you there. The biggest thing I believe we've got though is the Lamborghini. That's the biggest thing. We loved it. I knew when you guys pulled up, cause I have the G wagon and those motors, you can just hear him, you know? So when you guys pulled up, I was like the Lambo's here and Haley's like, they got a Lamborghini. I was like, yeah, go look at that.

at it and we get the most hate for them yeah that's crazy though it is crazy and the thing is is like if people realized that i mean when you're in a certain tax bracket that's such a huge tax write-off that people don't like people are like oh they're just wanting to show off and actually no we really care what's the most expensive car we can get to help us with this taxes but who cares and then that's that's where my brain has i struggle

Billy's like, Brandi, you gotta stop caring what people think. I'm like, I've been this way my whole life, Billy. I've always cared what people think. I've always tried to win people over. I've always tried to be the lover.

He's like, you got to stop caring. You got to stop reading those fucking comments. He'll delete them. I'll do it. I'll get up before her and delete them and stuff. You know the saying, you could be the ripest peach in the bunch and somebody's not going to like peaches. Oh, great. You're never going to be able to make everybody happy. All you can do is make your man happy, make yourself happy, and make your kids happy. Everybody else that can go fuck themselves. Drap.

Like, it's so cool to feel the love that's online, but I don't think a lot of people realize that us people that are so out there, we feel tremendous amounts of love, but we also feel tremendous amounts of hate. And the hate does sometimes outweigh the love. And you, you react to the hate more because it hurts more because you're like, wait a second.

you don't love me? Like, you know, and that's another trauma response is from, you know, our childhoods. And, you know, you can't let it get to you because these people are fucking miserable. They're deflecting and they would give a fucking toenail to be in you guys' position, you know, and that's how you have to look at things.

And I hate to talk bad about people, but, you know, if you're going to see toxicity on a fucking keyboard to people who are doing way better than you, then you deserve it, you know? You can't make everybody happy, and you got to just know that fuck those people. It's definitely been, like, learning that. I think people...

are really also just shocked to see that me and Billy have an OnlyFans. Right. They just are blown away. When I heard you guys had one, I thought it was awesome. I thought I was... Because a lot of people don't know I have one, you know, because on TikTok, I wear so much clothes. On Instagram, it's a completely different story, you know? Yes. But nobody realizes that I was a fucking Instagram thought...

nine years ago, you know, and that's exactly how I built my career was being naked. So when I learned that you guys, so I can have an OF, I was like, fuck yeah, they're just like us. Cause me and Jay are on OF. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, Oh, how can you do it? You have kids, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, because my main, the, I say, how can we do it? Because I'll, my kids are never going to have to experience some of the traumas that I had to experience because I was poor. Yeah, absolutely. And just because you're,

What you do in your spare time is not about your kids. And it's not a reflection of what type of mother I am. At all. I'm a bald-ass mother. Some of the best women I know are sex workers. You know? Like, some of the best... Like, literally, the coolest humans in the world that I've ever met are involved in the sex industry. And...

And it's because we've been through shit. We trauma. Fuck. And we just know what we want to be in life and what we don't want to be. We had tons of examples of what we didn't want to be like, and we're just here breaking fucking generational curses. You know, I think that's a beautiful thing. I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all. I think the reason we blew up on OF though is because of that, because people were shocked that the conservative more conservative,

because that's the image that we've built. Like the more, I don't even cuss on TikTok. Yeah. Billy doesn't want me to. So, um, like I say F word, like every other sentence. So I don't really cuss on TikTok. So I think a lot of people were shocked. I, and the three times I put anything semi provocative on,

on tiktok like people really come after oh when you were twerking that one time i think you were like wearing a unicorn suit and you were twerking people were coming for you i was like she's in a fucking unicorn suit and there's girls with like butthole meat in the camera on tiktok like it's just crazy i mean i can do in a humorous way and still like it really i'm like okay they just it's always going to be something no matter what but we've really embraced the fact that

We were on OnlyFans and we stopped caring about what people actually thought about us being on there. And that's been a game changer. We're just more open to it now. Well, what's what do you guys have in store for 2023? Um, yeah, Billy, what do we have in store? I don't know. Bless his little host dude. What do you got in store for 2023? I'm with you. I'll follow you.

tell him what we want to do see he acts like that but really that's not the billy billy will tell me like all right this is he's more of the leader absolutely on that aspect financially he's the leader too yeah um yeah i don't even talk to our financial advisor anymore since we got married this guy's just like he takes care of it yeah um

So that's really cute. But what we would like to do is honestly start a business. We're not sure yet what that business is, whether it's going to be owning a bunch of houseboats and renting them out. But we want to be able to make a living off something completely away from relying on social media. Absolutely. I wanted to start a jet ski business for the longest time. I had to buy rental properties in Florida. Yeah, that's our other thing. I love to do that. Yeah.

I love that. Anything else besides, you know, just building a business and just living and loving? You guys haven't been posting as much. A lot of people, whenever I told them you were coming on live today, were like, ask them why they're not posting as much as they used to. Yeah, we didn't. We took, let's see, a few weeks.

So one was because it was around Christmas time and we really do value the time that we have with our kids. A lot of the times I have my kids every other week. So on the weeks I do not have my kids, I'll bust out a bunch of TikToks. So then when I do have my kids, I don't really, I can still post, but I'm not actually doing them when I have my kids. Because I promised my kids that when I got to a certain point, okay, I'm going to stop doing this. So it doesn't affect the time I have with you guys. Also,

I think I got in a really dark place there for a little bit. Emotionally. Do you battle depression? Yeah, especially seasonal depression and the hate that I was getting for having an OF started getting to me. And then people were just like, all of us, I don't know if I was starting to read into the comments more or if they were just getting meaner. And I still don't know if people are... You're reading them too much. I think I was getting it in my own head because I'm an overthinker. And my anxiety was getting to me and...

I just was allowing it to tear me down. So I could not actually get on TikTok because I was scared. And now that I have been posting, like, my views are shit. It's not you guys. The TikTok's messing with the fucking algorithms again. And everybody's... Lizzo had, like, fucking...

20,000 views on a video. Me too. That had been up for like fucking 10 hours. And that's never happened to me. Yeah, no, it's not you. It's the platform. They're fucking with us. I've just been going live like crazy. I never do that. And it's been helping, but... We went live twice, I guess, in the past week. Posting at night. We used to go live a lot, but we just don't do it anymore. Like eight or nine at night is way better than posting during the day. I can't even post during the day and get views anymore. My backup account, I just post whatever, but my main account, I have to post at like nine o'clock at night just to even get views anymore. Yeah, I think also...

Like, with my, like, mental state, my views affect my mood. Oh, yeah. And because it affects everything across the board. Like, I've... And this is my own freaking issues, but...

like i need to get out of that like so i've really been worried and he knows it i'm like maybe people really just don't like us anymore oh stop it there's new people that are finding you every day you know like yes you don't have to and i'm like maybe it's just because you're not funny anymore billy i'll say that to him i'm like it's because you don't try anymore you hate tick tock don't you oh

And he's like, God, I'm on a here we go. Like everyday thing, right? Yeah. So the last, like, I would say month has been really emotionally hard on me. Aw. Sometimes you need to take a break, though, and just step back because it's social media. Yes, we've built, you know, a huge business, all of us on social media, but you can't let it affect you mentally like that because you have to realize that

Aside from that you are a human with a heart that beats and it doesn't matter what goes on on there It matters what goes on right here, you know and that shit just I

It's a phase. There's going to be another platform that we're going to fucking take over after TikTok. You know, it went from fucking MySpace to fucking Facebook. Facebook to Instagram. What's it called? MyFace. I saw that called MyFace. I never heard of one. Yeah, my, you know, but that's what I'm saying. Like, you can't, don't let it get to you because there's going to be another fucking platform that we're going to take over. And it's going to, it goes like this. It's a roller coaster. Not everything, if everything was always up here, we wouldn't appreciate when we're down here. You know what I'm saying? It's a roller coaster and you just got to ride the waves.

Literally. That is just fucking social media. So don't let it hurt you like that. Yeah. This guy, he's the support though. Like he's always like, Oh, I love that. Like he, he really is more loving than he lets on. Like, no, I can say, I can read right through it. Like it's baby. I was a hooker for fucking 15 years. I can read men like a motherfucker. Trust me. I see right through them.

Just the way he looks at me, a lot of people have been pointing out in the videos that I've been doing because I actually opened up a little bit about how people are like, we don't see you anymore. And I opened up that I'm struggling with seasonal depression. And when the sun is not out, I cannot, like I have a hard time being happy. But this guy over here just...

He knows when I... We went to Disney because he knew I needed to get out of the house. I needed to do something that would make me happy. We planned it in 24 hours and we freaking took the kids out of school and we just left. We took the kids out of school for a whole week and we just...

jumped on a plane yeah and you needed that you know you needed that reboot awesome yeah it really has helped so he always knows and that the fact that he can read me and know it's everything baby that's a good partner well i appreciate you guys coming here why don't you guys shout out your socials where everybody can find you and your os and your of so everybody i'm about to go billy we ain't wanting the neighbor to
