kendall, i appreciate your uploads so much. my anxiety makes it difficult to leave the house especially when it’s cold out (CO resident here as well) and it makes it so much easier to go to my classes having your voice in the background. thank you for all you do 💗

[@AshleyLebedev]

Sweet one, I send you love. Anxiety at that level is really tough. Look into leaky gut and adrenal fatigue. If you heal those your fatigue will go away. Try beginning an herb like ashwaghanda (withania somnifera) and some internal lavender supp (like lavender tincture) and begin taking more epsom baths. Several times a week sit in 2 cups of pure epsom salt. Also get stress of lifestyle and your foods under control in case they are part of the cause of it. Some herbs that can help you near bedtime are things like lemon balm, chamomile and passionflower, to soothe your nervous system. Limit your workouts when adrenals are so tired to light working out until they can heal after about 6 months. Okay exercises while they heal are things like yoga and walking, especially Yin yoga. But yeah google leaky gut and adrenal fatigue and begin with those herbs. The herbs will stop the panic attacks if you have and over time (months) will begin to help your anxiety get more fortified as body gets support.

You might already be aware of this, but if not, Kendall also has 2 podcasts I listen to a lot for the same reason as you. Called “Mile higher” (about true crime & conspiracies and stuff) and “the sesh” (more fun chill podcast). 💗💗💗

[@SpecialBlanket]

I have the same thing. I almost never leave my house (which is a tinyhome) due to anxiety and autism, and I listen to true crime on headphones when I have to go out. I also like that Kendall is chronically ill but manages to do this. It's inspirational (I'm chronically ill too but that's not primarily what keeps me from leaving the house.)

@Ash-- you shouldn't tell people "and your fatigue will go away". I already do the stuff you list and still have chronic fatigue. It depends on what's causing it.

[@emilyvincent7112]

Can I just say, there is a fantastic video by Eleanor Neale that just came out that deep dived into the Dorothy and Paul situation. And honestly, it sounds like Hugh Hefner only wanted Dorothy to leave Paul because everyone could see how manipulative he was to Dorothy. It seems Hugh didn't expect marry women to sleep with him, since his first wife had cheated and left him hurt. I think Hugh was actually trying to help her. Especially because her future boyfriend, who wrote her biography, said some really bad things about him and Hugh actually seemed offended.

About 20 of these guys in their little white satin bikinis came hurtling down upon me. 1. White satin is not a great swimsuit material: when it gets wet, it’s transparent and not elastic at all. 2.

I've never hung on to every word a KZbinr says in every video like I do with you! You are so entertaining and smart, I love hearing these stories from you!

[@amberwaters9529]

Yess! I was asking myself aloud yesterday, "Kendall... I need you!" But seriously, you're the best youtuber/reporter on KZbin in the true crime world. Bravo 👏👏👏👏

[@221BBakerStreet]

I loved this episode. I found it riviting. I was especially surprised learning of Paul Snider's involvement in the creation of the Chippendales. I knew a lot about the case of Paul and Dorothy Stratten but I had no idea about his connections to these guys. So I guess you could say the Chippendales might never have existed if it weren't for creepy Paul Snider.

[@kerikayy5696]

It’s crazy how they fought for a business idea that wasn’t either of theirs…

[@kburnette7524]

Exactly!! I was thinking the same thing

[@adriennepaige4003]

I mean.... i'm not trying to defend steve but he did kind of start it. if I had a business that i built from the ground up then i'd be invested in it.. even if other people were involved. he was just too money hungry and prideful.

[@pbelle1971]

This was an awesome episode. Really enjoyed hearing all that went on at the beginning of chippendales and interesting to hear about Hugh Hefner’s connection to it. I have never been to a Chippendales show, I can see why it was such a huge success since the beginning. Women just never had anything like this, but yet playboy bunnies were seen everywhere. Thank you Kendall, fantastic story!

Hi Kendall, my doggy Rusty is sleeping as it is almost dawn here, so as not to excite him with YOUR lovely voice, I put my new ear buds in! Thanks for the notification. You know that you have ‘fans’! I mean LOTS of people and pets love you. You are a precious, rational and comprehensive. The thing that I personally admire about you is that you push through your chronic pain so gracefully. I’m a mess! You give me strength as my mother also suffers with fibromyalgia and I feel chronic effects but I’m such a baby that I cry and cringe in pain in a dark room for privacy. So there! Thank goodness for you… and my mum! Even some doctors can’t help like that. ❤️🎄❤️

[@pamelaraney4654]

I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain too ☹️ it’s a bummer

[@silviaceja7667]

I took my mom to watch their show for her 50th birthday. It was honestly a blast. It’s crazy that most of us there had no clue of the dark past behind the show.

It was really neat to hear a different side of this story. Another creator had talked about Dorothy and her husband so when you started this story it was interesting to see how they're intertwined.

[@Me-iq4se]

I love how kendall tells the stories. This was an especially interesting story.

[@francisanique7163]

I just finished watching a video of Eleanor Neale about the death of Dorty. It is so weird now seeing this video of Kendall, coming from a different angle. Really good video Kendall, as always. It is just horrible what happened and how this all went down... DISGUSTING

I went to a couple of Chippendale shows in the early 80’s. They were a lot of fun, I was young and full of energy back then, feeling our liberation, and I’m glad that I had those experiences. I had no idea about any of the back story. Great video.

[@damianalmonte389]

My grandma went to a show when she was 57 and she loved it more than anything she’s ever done! So I’d recommend to go!

[@noodlesauce2553]

Ur grandma was a legend😂😂

Fun fact : I live in Tampa but I’m not from here so I didn’t know Magic Mike was such a big thing here. So I saw that movie for the first time and went to work talking about Papi. Well it turns out my manager’s husband was the Latin dancer that character was based on. There were lawsuits and stuff against Tatum and the guys want another movie that tells their sides.

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

I kinda super adore what they wrote on Dorothy’s headstone!❤️ But it’s so heartbreaking…that poor girl was only 20! 😔💔

[@LaPlaztique]

I saw the Chippendales when they came to Pennsylvania, as a gift from my friends for my 21st birthday! I still have a picture of me with my fav one “The Fox that Rocks”. It was a fun time!

[@_AshNicB]

I went to the Chippendale’s show in Vegas and LOVED IT! And this says a lot because I am not a fan of male strippers…like AT ALL. They do just enough to make a woman say “oh okay! I see you!” and not cringe for doing too much.

[@debradoolittle2082]

I enjoy your storytelling skills and enjoy stories such as this... the back story to a famous person, business, etc. I went to one Chippendales show in the '90s and had never heard this story. I also remember the calendars. It was a very big deal in the '80s. Interesting story.

[@heathermicola3894]

I was born in the mid 70’s and I can recall as a child seeing the chipdales on day time talk shows that my mom watched.

I’ve been to many chippendale shows in Vegas and never knew the back story ! Sooo interesting !!! Kendall as always the best story teller 🙌🏻♥️

[@mizmac8167]

Yep, went to a Chippendale‘s show several years back and had no clue of any of this. I still had a wonderful time and loved the Chippendale‘s. Kind of sorry I learned about the catastrophic beginning. It’s kind of disappointing to learn, but I’m glad I did. However, if I had another chance I would still go see a show. It’s still a great show that brings much joy to many women.

[@elizabethgrogan8553]

@MIZMAC I went to a Chippendale's show a few years back. It was fun. However, I was astonished to see women throwing pieces of paper onto the stage. Apparently there is a cult following of those who want to be invited backstage and those pieces of paper have a name and telephone number on them. Once the show ended, and the stars walked offstage, 2 guys ran out and picked up the papers. A group of women stayed at the stage and were invited back. I later learned that quite an orgy took place, and that was normal. Ugh, I can't imagine doing that. They were just unpaid pro$titutes.
