Dumb Blonde Host

Y' all know I'm always looking for

Wayfair/Mint Mobile/Chime Advertiser

little ways to update my home and recently I decided to refresh my patio with some new outdoor furniture. What surprised me most about Wayfair was the huge selection. I found so many different styles and price points in one place, which made it easy to find pieces I loved without feeling like I had to spend a fortune. I also loved being able to read reviews and see photos from real customers before making a decision. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of the shopping online. The new furniture went right on my patio and it really freshened up the space and it already got a lot of use, but the update made it feel more comfortable, more inviting and more put together. And yes, I would absolutely recommend Wayfair to a friend. Between the selection, the reviews, the price

Is this thing on? What's up, you sexy motherfuckers? Welcome to another episode of Dumb Blonde. Today's guest is one of the Internet's most recognizable faces. A reality star, most importantly, an advocate, and one of the funniest people you'll ever meet. Bailey Free. Welcome to Dumb Blonde.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you so much for having me. I am beyond excited to be here. Thank you so much.

Dumb Blonde Host

You look so beautiful.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you.

Dumb Blonde Host

So you look like you have, like, this new bride glow to you.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah, I love it. What's it feel like being a wifey now?

Bailey Dooley

I love being a wifey. One of the things that I realize is the hardest so this is just so simple, is I have no idea how to write my new name. When we are at, like, restaurants, I'm, like, paying or like, I'm going to shop somewhere and I'm like, oh, I have no. I need to practice. I need to practice. But I love it. It feels like we've been honestly married for, like, a long time just because we choose each other every single day, regardless of fights or tears or laughs or excitement or love. Like, we choose each other every single day. So it's always really been like that. As soon as we started dating and we've just kind of kept. God damn. Kept going with it, and it's paid off.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love it. And you guys have been together how long? Colin's here, by the way. We're gonna bring him in in a little bit.

Bailey Dooley

He. We've been dating for four years.

Dumb Blonde Host

Four years. And you guys were dating before the TV show even started, right? Like, you guys had started dating right before then?

Bailey Dooley

Yes, we started dating right before then. So he. As soon as we started dating, probably like five months after that, three months after that, I started a TV show. So he's been a part of it the entire time.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. I love it for you guys. And congratulations. I know I told you guys whenever you first walked in, but I have to tell you publicly also, I'm just so excited for you guys being married. And I think you guys are the cutest couple. So I know this is a deep subject to jump into just off the bat, but I was so excited about hearing you speak about and advocating for women who have endometriosis.

GoFundMe User/Testimonial

I.

Dumb Blonde Host

That is something that's dear to my heart because I'm going through that with my IVF journey. And I feel like so many people need somebody like you to look up to, to talk about these things. Can you tell me about your journey with the endometriosis?

Bailey Dooley

My journey. So when I was about in eighth grade, so I was like, probably.

GoFundMe User/Testimonial

I don't.

Bailey Dooley

I'm not gonna do the math and embarrass myself.

Dumb Blonde Host

It's okay, sister. I can't. I can't add shit either, unless it's money.

Bailey Dooley

So I was really young, and I figured that I was having, like, a lot of pain with. They were. They were, like, two days, which was, like, very normal, but they were very painful and to the point, like, it would get. Like. I couldn't walk, like, because I'd be hunched over. I was extremely. Also had extreme constipation to the point where I'd be in the hospital. I've had to miss school because of it. But I was clinically diagnosed when I was in eighth grade, and I got on birth control, and I skipped the placebo. That's what the placebo pills that basically regulate your period. For me to get my period, it makes endometriosis worse, so I just skip it. So I haven't had a period since then, which has been forever. But also, at the same time, it's prevented a lot of pain. And when I just went in for looking at the endometriosis specialist, we go on the show, and you get to see me go and see an endometriosis specialist, because we do want kids. We want kids in the future, and it's very, very important to us. I have a big family, and he's the youngest kid in his family, so he's always wanted to be a young dad. And it's always a dream of ours to have kids, but there's always the reality of the possibility of not being able to have kids. And. And the most important thing is that we've had those conversations and we've come to a realization that we do have options, and there is ways to come about it, but they're also so hard and so expensive and so, like, exhausting, probably on your body and what it does to, like, female organs and things like that. But I was clinically diagnosed and then I was re diagnosed on the show because the only way to truthfully find out if you have endometriosis is through sucking dick, is through going in and getting the surgery for it to find actual proof. She said that 80% of women that come in with endometriosis to get an ultrasound done to find out if they have doesn't come up on there because they actually need the surgery to go in and find the lesions and the scar tissues and the old cysts and the cysts that are built over top of it. So the journey has been long finding out what's been going on, but it's also been so hopeful and so, like, reassuring that, like, I'm not just making up this pain or I'm not just feeling it. And it's not like if it was something else, like, I just didn't want to go in thinking that, like, I was making this all up.

Dumb Blonde Host

Right.

Bailey Dooley

Like, it would, it would be great to know if, like, I didn't have a really, really, really severe case of endometriosis. But I also wanted to know, like, I really don't want to be making something up. I really don't want to be like, feeling something that's completely wrong or maybe I'm like over exaggerating or be over dramatic or God damn wind it up or anything like that. So to go in and like actually get reassured on my symptoms and everything that's going on and that there is a possibility of us having. But it's also like, nobody really knows the possibility of anyone having kids until you try to have kids. And that's kind of the best advice she gave us. And obviously we're not trying to have kids right now. We just got married and we're trying to enjoy our married life a little bit.

Dumb Blonde Host

But I think it's amazing that you are being so vocal because young girls actually really need to know about this. Because as I was growing up, I used to have to like, miss school the first. I remember my first period when I was, I think it was like 12 or 13, and it was the most horrific cramping that I had ever had. And then that followed me all the way up until I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis. And I mean, you can ask my team. I have to take days off. We schedule my schedule around my period because we never know how bad it's going to be. But do you know, one thing that I have found that has really alleviated my symptoms with endometriosis is microdosing a tiny bit of tirzepatide have you ever microdosed, like, GLP1s or anything like that?

Bailey Dooley

So I'm actually. That's a great question. I'm on a GLP1 right now. I've been on it for about a year. The medication that I take for my bipolar makes me excessively gain weight. So when I first took the medication, I gained about 30 pounds in about three months. 20 to 30 pounds in about three months. It was rough, especially since you have the entire Internet and everyone commenting and everyone saying something and everyone calling me whaling. I've never heard that one before. So it's just kind of. It's hard to, like, migrate. Going through, like, body problems and then also trying to be a social media advocate at the same time, because you want to, like, tell everyone to feel confident and feel good and love yourself. And you only have one you. God only gave you one you, so it's the only. The only home you have. And then you go around and you feel insecure, too. But we're also all human, and we all can't be perfect.

Dumb Blonde Host

I know what it's like to try to navigate that. As I was going through ivf, it put weight on me. And people you know would be like, oh, she's bigger than her husband now. And, like, it's. And you're literally trying to make a baby with your body, and it's like, people just have no respect. The Internet is just so crazy. But I. I've learned that it's just miserable people who have nothing better to do than just comment on other people's lives. So you can't ever let that get to you.

Bailey Dooley

No. But my neurologist was telling me, because she's the one that prescribed me the GLP one for the increase in weight gain. And where was I going with the

Dumb Blonde Host

other GLP ones Helping with endometriosis?

Bailey Dooley

Yes. She brought up about how the inflammation that goes on with your body, the GLP1, helps reduce that. And like, with endometriosis, it's that it's inflammation. So I've definitely seen an increase. Like, I've periodically, like, gone off of it, like, for certain things and certain reasons. And when I do, I'm like, immediately I need to get back on, because I don't.

Dumb Blonde Host

You can feel a difference.

Bailey Dooley

I can. Yeah. Like, in. It's, like, insane. And I'm like, obviously not doing it for a trend. I'm not doing it to fit in. I'm not trying to do it to be skinny and doing it because, well,

Dumb Blonde Host

I actually need it, it's like pain management.

Bailey Dooley

Yeah.

Dumb Blonde Host

My stomach would for like after I did the IVF from my, you know, you have to pump yourself full of estrogen and all these hormones. So the endometriosis just fed off of that. My lower stomach would like pooch out. I mean belly. Yeah. And it looked like I was like three months pregnant and it would not go away. The only thing that took it away was take it was microdosing the GLP one. And I think that more people need to know about that because it's not

Wayfair/Mint Mobile/Chime Advertiser

just for weight loss.

Dumb Blonde Host

Like we're really trying to like get our bodies in, in check and in order and that and getting the inflammation down is probably the number one thing that you could do for your body. It's not just about losing weight or taking a shortcut. It's about literally trying to help yourself and help yourself feel better.

Wayfair/Mint Mobile/Chime Advertiser

Bailey Dooley

I completely agree.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah, I love that you're talking about that. You're also very open about your bipolar disorder and also ocd, but I've never heard you. Really? I have OCD myself and I'm fascinated with all the different types of OCD that there are. I never realized until I was actually diagnosed with OCD how many different types of OCD there are. What exactly is your ocd?

Bailey Dooley

My OCD is a lot of negative, intrusive thoughts that then build up to, like, things happening that spiral into, like, death. I've started realizing I have a lot of fears with, like, okay, if I leave the house today, then. And I get in a ride share or an Uber. What if I get in a car accident and then my leg breaks are like, I'm dead. Like, I can't leave the house. I can't leave the house today. Maybe I'll try tomorrow I'll go for a walk. Maybe the walk, I'll be fine. Maybe I won't trip. Like, it's very, very intricate. It used to be for a small period of time. Germs. I wouldn't, I wouldn't even drink out of my husband's drink at the time. Like, it was. I. I wouldn't, I wouldn't do sweaty hugs. I wouldn't do handshakes. I'd rather go in for a hug than a handshake because in my hands. Like, your hands are like, probably one of the dirtiest parts of your body.

Dumb Blonde Host

So I wore gloves to my meet and greets.

Bailey Dooley

Yes.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. Because a sweaty hand. I'll think about it all night.

Bailey Dooley

Yes.

Dumb Blonde Host

If I touch a sweaty hand or if I hug somebody and they're sweaty. Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

Or immediately, like, I had to, like, immediately go shower afterwards. Or like, I would always scrub my hands, like a repetitive amount of times. I do everything in threes, which I've been to ERP therapy for. It's definitely helped, but it's definitely something that, like, you have to do when you're ready because it's so motivationally driven by yourself. Like, there was one point where my ERP therapist was telling me. She's like, yeah, we work with a lot of people that have the fear of throwing up. And how we build up to that is, well, we watch videos of people throwing up. And then.

Dumb Blonde Host

Exposure therapy.

Bailey Dooley

Yes. Like, we're going through everything. And then she's like, we practice. And I was like, what? I was like, what? Okay, this sounds. This isn't sounding normal, but okay. But I did do exposure therapy, especially for the horse for the wedding. I was still up in the air.

Dumb Blonde Host

So did you have to go and shake sweaty hands and hug sweaty people for your exposure therapy, or how did that work out?

Bailey Dooley

So my exposure therapy specifically was around horses. I was petrified of horses. And a part of me. I did it for him because he wanted one at the wedding, and I needed to get familiar with being around a horse. And then another part of me, I wanted to do it because horses are so therapeutic. Therapeutic and beautiful and just perfect for people that are neurodivergent. And I've always wanted to feel that way. So when I went through the therapy, like, we got close to the horse. I got to touch the horse. I got to brush the horse. I got to ride the horse. I got to. Well, that. And then I also played with its shit.

Dumb Blonde Host

Really? Yes, I did.

Bailey Dooley

Yes, I did.

Dumb Blonde Host

Okay, we need to be in depth about this. So why are we fondling turds? What is happening?

Bailey Dooley

Because I have the fear of germs, so I had to rub shit on my hands.

Dumb Blonde Host

Without gloves on.

Bailey Dooley

Without gloves on. I had to get it in my nail. Like, she's, like, scraping it underneath my nails. And I look at her. This was.

Dumb Blonde Host

I'll fucking die.

Bailey Dooley

I don't know if it was in the episode. I have no idea, but there was a part of it that was cut out. When I asked her, I said, so how often do you get sick? And she's like, I'm not gonna answer that question right now. And I was like, okay, well, you're

Dumb Blonde Host

like, this is supposed to be therapy, and we can't.

Bailey Dooley

We canceled the therapy the first time because she was sick. So I was like, okay, there's a pattern here. There's a pattern here.

Dumb Blonde Host

And she has you putting turds. Horseshit. Under your nails.

Bailey Dooley

Yes, it was. You have to be, like, very, very motivated to do it. Because at first I was like, I'm not doing this. And then I was like, I gotta get over. I. Like, I. Like, I wouldn't even be able to, like, Eat sandwiches with my hands, because my hands were infected and contaminated by germs. So I wouldn't be able to pick up the sandwiches or, like, eat chips and dip. So I was just like, and maybe I'll just do it, and maybe it will do something. And it did do something. I did the hardest thing I possibly could have ever imagined, and then I never have to do it again. And now all of those fears are gone. But it's definitely shocking. Like, you sit there and you're like, probably not.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

Like, I had to.

Dumb Blonde Host

You're a better woman than I. Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

I had to leave the therapy. I was like, I don't think I can be doing this anymore.

Dumb Blonde Host

Like, how cool is that, though? Like, I'm so proud of you because so much. I don't think people who don't battle OCD don't realize how huge of a. Like, a triumph that was for you. Because I. I'm. I will pet horses. I'll hang out with them. I'll write them. I'm not touching their. And especially getting it under my nails. There's no way, like, not happening.

Bailey Dooley

It was. It was. It was an interesting experience.

Dumb Blonde Host

No.

Bailey Dooley

And especially with everyone just watching me do it. I was like, wow, this is. I'm like, okay, girl.

Dumb Blonde Host

My hat goes off to you, sister. Well, let's switch gears. Let's talk a little bit about your family, because you guys seem incredibly close.

Bailey Dooley

Double hate.

Dumb Blonde Host

And so who's the funniest member of your family, Berkeley?

Bailey Dooley

My oldest brother.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. Stand up. He seems like it.

Bailey Dooley

He's standup comedian.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

Funniest person in the room. Also. You would never guess. The most quiet. Like, like, also, like, very sticks to himself. Like, quietest person. Biggest stage fright. Will never do standup. We'll never stand in front of crowds. Never do anything like that. But he's the funniest per. I mean, he's the funniest person I am.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love that, though. Who do you think the favorite child is out of you guys?

Bailey Dooley

Mir Spenlin.

Dumb Blonde Host

She answered that quickly, so she's like, mir Svenlin. You said Svenlin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I could see that. Totally. And what's a family story that gets brought up at every holiday, whether you like it or not?

Bailey Dooley

Oh, my gosh.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love asking questions that make people think. I know there's got to be one.

Bailey Dooley

There's so many. But I can't think of any right now, like, family, because Thanksgiving's different every year. It's always, like, at different places. And so it's Always, like, different with the people that are there because sometimes you can't say something. So I just. I don't know.

Dumb Blonde Host

We can circle back. We'll circle back to that. If it comes to you during the interview, just interject and we'll. We'll put it in. Let's move on to understanding your story a little bit. I know you have spoken about your journey so many times, but for people who possibly could have never, you know, come across you on Tik Tok, let's talk about the journey of when you first started notice noticing symptoms of your Tourette's and what that experience was like for you.

Bailey Dooley

I started really knowing that I was different than everybody when I was probably, like, I knew that I had ticks when I was younger, but I didn't know that until I was older. I didn't know what I was really experiencing. Thought everyone did what I did. And also at the time, it was so less complex that it was just hard to tell. And I also at the time had, like, a lot of learning disabilities, like, and things like that. Like, I was at the time, like, trying to. I got held back. So there was a lot going on at that stage. What was the question?

Dumb Blonde Host

We're talking about when you first started experiencing the symptoms. So, like, how old were you when you, like, when you were younger? What were your tics like, though, that you had noticed as a child?

Bailey Dooley

They were a lot of neck movements. And then as I got older, I started realizing. Realizing that I always, like, used to flex my. Like, I still do. I always used to flex my thigh muscles, and I always felt like I had to do it and I had to keep going until, like, the urge went away. But I never really knew what that was until I was older and I found out. And I learned what tics are because they're so complex and you have no idea kind of what they can be or how they can manifest. But I was around the age of 15, and I had this throat clearing tic that sounded like my throat was closing. And I went. I had a cardiologist at the time, and I went to the cardiologist and I was like, I just. I just, like, I just have this feeling in my throat and I have to keep doing it. It won't stop until it's, like, fulfilled. And he's like, sounds like you have a throat closing issue. You might need surgery. I was like, okay, I'm gonna go see somebody else.

Dumb Blonde Host

Thanks a lot, dude.

Bailey Dooley

So then I started experiencing, like, little neck ticks like this or things like that. But it was really, like, when I was in school, and I started noticing those things when I was, like, 16, 15 years old. And my friends at the time would be like, why are you doing that? And it was the friend group I had at the time. And I have no idea. I had no idea it was Tourette's at the time. I was like, oh, it's a heart. It's my heart thing. It's like this thing. It was that thing. Like, I had no idea. And then, like, when I was actually diagnosed at 16, and I went to the doctor before COVID happened, he diagnosed me. And then I went back during COVID because it got so bad from, like, being sheltered. I'm a social butterfly as much as I have social anxiety. I just love to be around people. I love to be around love. I love to just be around everybody.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love a girl.

Bailey Dooley

Yeah. I don't like to be lonely. I don't like that feeling. Where's I going with this?

Dumb Blonde Host

We're talking about just how you know when. After you got diagnosed at 6.

Bailey Dooley

Oh, yes. I'm so sorry.

Dumb Blonde Host

No, you're fine. I got you, girl. I'll keep you on track the whole time.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you so much. I actually went back because my tics were so bad. I had a tick that I was hitting my foot off my head. And I went in there, and he was, like, doing all these exams, and he was looking at me, and he was just staring at me for maybe, like, 30 minutes, like, examining my tics. And he's like, yeah, you don't. You don't have Tourette's. I don't know what you have. I don't know what's going on, but you can't. You shouldn't leave the house. You shouldn't work, you shouldn't drive. You definitely shouldn't go to college. Stay at home. You do not fit in with society. And I was like, okay, so can

Dumb Blonde Host

we take this man's medical license? Because what kind of fucking advice is that?

Bailey Dooley

And then he goes to tell us. He's like, I actually. I can't even see you as a patient anymore. I don't even specialize in movement disorders. I specialize in epilepsy. So we wasted all of my time by diagnosing me, undiagnosing me, and then sending me off. So I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and I got an official diagnosis there. And basically, she gave me a lot of hope. But it's so hard with, like, getting medicines and treatment and everything, because everything really isn't covered by insurance. So, like the CBIT therapy, cognitive behavioral intervention for ticks isn't covered by insurance. And it's very, very expensive. And when I went to the Mayo Clinic, the lady was like, oh, I see. I see thousands of people that have Tourette's. I see hundreds of thousands. Like, this is definitely what Tourette's is. However, good luck finding help. There's only 10 hospitals in America that do CBIT therapy. Good luck finding a doctor in your state that does Tourette's or specializes in Tourette's or movement disorders. Good luck. I never once was told about the Tourette association of America, which is the only place I really have ever felt welcomed as somebody with Tourette's because it's an entire community of just all my tick friends. Like, it's just, it's just great to, like, let them know that I can be a voice for them and let them know that I always have my community. Always.

Dumb Blonde Host

I think you've created such a. Like, you've created such a conversation for, for people who do have Tourette's. And I don't want to say you've. You've made it look cool because I feel like that's insensitive, but you've made it look like it's not. This, this disability that people can't still live and be free and be happy and like, you have just bro down so many barriers and so many walls for so many people. What do you wish that people understood about Tourette syndrome? What do you wish that more people understood about Tourette syndrome?

Bailey Dooley

I wish that people understood that people don't tick 24 7. If I'm in my apartment and I'm watching a movie with my husband, my ticks are like, non existent.

Dumb Blonde Host

Because you feel safe.

Bailey Dooley

I feel safe. I'm in my safe space. But also my safe space also means if I come back from a really stressful environment and I'm holding in my tics, that's my safe space. So my tics are also so loud and so obnoxious and can be so abrupt, but they also can be so calm as well. And I just wish that people, like, saw that side. I wish people saw the side of, like, me listening to music with headphones. Like when I go to the airport and I sit in my. Sit in my chair, I put headphones on and I maybe tick 10 times. The entire flight depend, depending on how

Colin Dooley

long the flight is.

Bailey Dooley

London's a bit long.

Dumb Blonde Host

Oh, my gosh. International flying is crazy. I don't even like like, it. So I couldn't imagine.

Bailey Dooley

Your ass hurts.

GoFundMe User/Testimonial

Yeah.

Dumb Blonde Host

What. What has been the most challenging part, emotionally, going through this journey for you?

Bailey Dooley

The most challenging part is probably the fact that I try so hard to demonstrate Tourette's in the most possible, beautiful way I can. And I just wish people didn't approach me by my ticks or they just didn't say the ticks. Like, when people have Tourette's, when you repeat their ticks, it sets their ticks off. So, like, when people come up to me and they're like, oh, my God, I love you, Tourette's girl. And I'm like, oh, okay.

Dumb Blonde Host

Like, you want to be. No. Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

I'm like, at least call me Bailey or something at this point. Yeah, I'm fine with my name wrong, but I just. I just.

Dumb Blonde Host

I feel like that's so insensitive to. To walk up to somebody and just say that.

Bailey Dooley

Or the hardest part is, like, home training. Yes. Like, I share my life and I do the best I can, but there's some times where I mess up and there are some days where, like, I don't show the good days, and I don't show what it's really like to, like, sometimes live through those good days. And I just wish that, like, people understood that. I'm, like, trying my best to portray what my life looks like, but I also don't want to be on social media 247 because sometimes it can get really time consuming and really just consuming in general with everything. And I really try to be as present as possible with everything in life. So I just wish people would just realize that I'm trying my best to show what Tourette's is. And sometimes I make mistakes and I don't show every side, or maybe I don't show sides in the best way, but I just wish people understood that you don't tick 24 7. And I'm doing the best I can to show that.

Dumb Blonde Host

I think you're doing a great job.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you so much.

Dumb Blonde Host

Don't be so hard on yourself. I think you're doing a great job, and I think there's a lot of people that look up to you. I mean, you have your own freaking TV show, for God's sake. Like, you're doing. You're doing the damn thing, sister. So let's talk about how you were discovered and all this stuff. Your. Your social media and, like, kind of like finding your purpose on social media. What inspired you to start sharing your life online?

Bailey Dooley

So I originally did not have tick Tock. When I was in high school, I was like, I'm not doing tick tock dances. Like, that's not. Yeah, I really, like, I was just very like more reserv than I was now. Like, I just wasn't really prone to showing that. And then I got on social media, made a couple videos and at this time, like, I didn't want it to be about my Tourette's because my Tourette's was so minimal in my life. My ticks were very minimal. I was probably ticking 10 to 20 times a day, like depending on the environment and my nerves and everything that went on that day. So I didn't want it to be about that until one day.

Bailey Dooley

Like I was saying, my ticks got really, really bad before COVID but before then I was like only ticking ten times a day. I didn't really know what was going on with me.

Dumb Blonde Host

Right.

Bailey Dooley

And so I had to reintroduce myself to all my friends, all my family, all my relatives, all my loved ones, and be like, this is who I am now. I'm still bailing. Just have a little extra feature.

Dumb Blonde Host

I like that.

Bailey Dooley

So a girl followed me around the store without me acknowledging on social media or acknowledging to any of my friends. I stopped being friends with everybody because I was so embarrassed by who I was. I didn't want to reintroduce myself. I didn't want anybody to know who. Who I was. I was in therapy, like, four times a week, three times a week, and I just didn't want to have to. I don't know where I was going again.

Dumb Blonde Host

It's okay. You were talking about, like, what inspired you to start sharing your life online? Because when you started, you weren't having the tics that you started getting as you got a little bit older.

Bailey Dooley

Yeah. I was followed around a store, and she was, like, laughing and pointing and, like, making fun of me. And I was like, I didn't know where the video was gonna go. I assumed that it was put out on social media to make fun of me. That's only what I was. Would assume. And so I went home that night, and I was like, I'm gonna make her feel dumb. I'm gonna make her feel really stupid about taking a video and making fun of somebody that has a disability in public. So I went online, and I was like, hey, like, I tried making this video from another video that went. That went and got, like, a million views. I tried, like, explaining myself, and I was like, I'm not gonna hide anymore. This has given me motivation to just share who I am. And I went on social media, and I shared a video of basically explaining what happened. And I was just opened up about having Tourette's. I have Tourette's syndrome. Stupid. And it, like, went viral, and everybody thought I was faking. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't know this is what people thought.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

I didn't know that this was the first thing that come to. Came to mind. But I just wanted to just take my power back from her and just have the truth be told from my mouth and just make her feel dumb for doing that.

Dumb Blonde Host

And I. I mean, kudos to you because that is such a superpower. Because some people would have, like, you know, it could have gone a different way, and you could have been, like, more depressed or even, like, suicidal over that girl doing that to you. And instead you stood up to your bully and showed her and everybody else online, like, hey, this is what's going on. It's not okay what she did. And I'm gonna empower myself. So, I mean, I'm really proud of you for doing that.

Bailey Dooley

So.

Dumb Blonde Host

Did you have any idea that your videos would resonate with so many people, though, once you actually did come out and, like, the outpouring of love that you started to get?

Bailey Dooley

No, I had no idea. I had absolutely no idea. I had no idea that that video was going to blow up between me starting in November and me going on Dr. Phil in March. I had 3 million followers.

Dumb Blonde Host

Wow.

Bailey Dooley

I had no idea that that was gonna happen. And I started realizing, like, I joked around one time with one of my friends. I was like, oh, my God, I want to drop out of college so bad. What if we just became social media influencers? Went that way. We can move to New York, have a good time. And I don't know if I manifested it or something or Jesus heard me, but it ended up happening. And it's just crazy. I'm so blessed for the amount of love that I've been given because I felt like I was in such a dark place and that I would never be loved and that I would just have all these terrible thoughts towards myself. So it's just, I'm very, very blessed with the life that I've been given and the way that I've been able to impact others and be the voice for people that don't feel like they have one is really the only reason I do what I do.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love it. What is one of your favorite fan interactions? Like, what's your favorite thing that I mean a story. And then what is your favorite thing that fans do when they come up to you?

Bailey Dooley

I've met so many incredible people. I love talking about every single one of them. But I think the most one that resonates with me and with him. We were in a Chipotle, and we're sitting down and we're having dinner, and this guy comes up and he's like, I'm so sorry to interrupt you guys, but I know you. And we're like, okay, yeah, lovely to meet you all stuff. He goes, I'm a behavioral therapist. My wife is a special needs teacher. We've been waiting for something to come out like this for 10 years. We've been waiting for advocacy and for disability awareness and invisibility. Disability awareness. And just. It really resonates a lot because I just love meeting people. I really do. I love meeting A face behind a follower and a supporter and somebody that really loves and supports me and cherishes my life. So it's just really good to know that I've met a lot of really, really good people. And my favorite thing when people come up to me is probably like everyone. So it's so funny. Everyone's so surprised how nice I am when they meet me in person.

Dumb Blonde Host

You're so sweet.

Bailey Dooley

So it's so like shocking to me when people come up to me, they're like, oh my God, I thought you're going to be so mean. And I was like, well what?

Dumb Blonde Host

Where would they ever get.

Bailey Dooley

That's where you get that from. But I just, I love meeting everyone and every interaction so different sometimes. But the good ones definitely outperform the.

Dumb Blonde Host

The bad ones no good. Have you ever had any bad fan experience?

Bailey Dooley

Oh my God, tons.

Dumb Blonde Host

No way.

Bailey Dooley

Tons. I have to hear tons.

Dumb Blonde Host

How could you have a bad fan experience? That is so weird to me.

Bailey Dooley

The first time I started social media I was, I was with my ex boyfriend and we were in a mall and this guy comes up and he's like like oh my God, are you the girl that fakes Tourette's? And I was like, oh. I was like, what? I was like, no, I like I have it. And he goes, whatever, do you want to get a photo? And I was like, no, no I don't.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah, like I've had people, what a cornball.

Bailey Dooley

Yell out the windows of cars when I'm walking and be like, oh my God, we with you Tourette's girl. Like wind it up. And I'm like wind it up. I'm like, okay. That's one way to terribly approach somebody. Yeah, I've been, I. Do you need to come to sit down.

Dumb Blonde Host

There's you, Colin. Do you want to come in? You can come have a seat, buddy. Come on up here.

Bailey Dooley

She's got better time support. Like he knows every story in the book.

Dumb Blonde Host

What up, Colin? You guys are a good looking couple.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah, you guys are gonna make some really cute babies. I can't wait for you guys to have babies. I want to be godmother. Let me be godmother, please. Fairy godmother. We got it. Do we got Colin on camera?

GoFundMe/Mint Mobile Legal Disclaimer

Yeah.

Colin Dooley

Thank you.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love how happy you get when you see him. That's how you know it's love because you get like the biggest smile.

Bailey Dooley

Just thank you.

Dumb Blonde Host

You guys both do. It's really sweet. Colin, welcome to the show.

Colin Dooley

Thanks for having me.

Dumb Blonde Host

Oh, dude, I'm so Glad you guys are both here. Like, what is it like being married now? I want to hear it from you.

Colin Dooley

I feel like Balen put it really well. It's honestly a new feeling that we're still trying to adjust to. But also, at the same time, it has felt like we've been married for a while just because our priority when we first started dating was to always, every single day, just choose each other when we wake up in the morning. And I feel like that's the biggest thing with marriage is every day you have to choose that person. And so. But, yeah, it's pretty amazing. We've been riding a high, and we

Bailey Dooley

definitely keep God at the center of it all, so it definitely helps.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love that you've always seemed to be so sweet and so patient with her. Like, I watched the first few seasons of the first couple of seasons of the show, and I just loved how you have always handled her and always just been so, like, loving and just poured into her. And that's a huge quality for a man to do, because a lot of men don't do that. And I just. You can. You can see the love that you guys have for each other. So I love that. So talking about the fan interactions, let's circle back. What was the one that she called you up here for?

Colin Dooley

Yeah, so bad fan interactions. They are few. There's not a whole lot, but there is sometimes where just people will come up and they'll be like, oh, my

Bailey Dooley

gosh, I love you.

Colin Dooley

And then they'll say a tick. And it's just.

Dumb Blonde Host

And that's a trigger for you, right? If somebody says a tic to you, it just automatically triggers.

Bailey Dooley

There's. There's also been a lot of cases where people be like, you want to know what my favorite tickiers is? And I'm like, oh, here we go.

Dumb Blonde Host

Oh, here we go.

Bailey Dooley

I'm like, please don't start like that, because then I'll say it and it'll set him off, and they'll be like, that one. Say it again. And I'm like, oh, my God. No, that's not how it works. It's not what works?

Colin Dooley

Yeah, it's like. I don't know, it's weird. Like, people, like, love her ticks and, like, some of them are funny, but at the end of the day, like, it is a condition that she has. And so when you say that tick, you're just setting her condition off and making her condition worse. So I think that's not like, they're not doing it to be Hateful or mean. I just think they don't know.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah, yeah. Sitting here talking to you, you haven't really had that many ticks. And you're so calm and so articulate and well spoken. Like, I think that's amazing. And has it always been like that or have you had to learn how to kind of, like, rein it in?

Bailey Dooley

It definitely was hard at first. Like, I was living at home. I didn't really know a lot about my triggers and my environment changes and how everything really affect my. Affected my condition kind of. Until we lived together and I got to experience, like, being like,

Dumb Blonde Host

sorry, this is his world. We just live in it.

GoFundMe User/Testimonial

Okay.

Dumb Blonde Host

This guy.

Bailey Dooley

Until I really didn't experience being on my own and, like, being in certain scenarios and being out in public and learning certain techniques that I use. I use a lot of camouflaging. I use a lot of whispering techniques. But most of the time, a lot of people wouldn't know is that my motor tics are actually worse than my vocal tics.

Dumb Blonde Host

And when you say motor tics, what does that mean?

Bailey Dooley

A motor tic is basically like my neck tics.

Wayfair/Mint Mobile/Chime Advertiser

Okay.

Bailey Dooley

Or like, my arm ticks or my leg ticks. Anything that involves a muscle is definitely worse than, like, my vocal tics. But it also just depends on the day. And during day to day, I just kind of of go from there and choose it. But it also just depends on the environment. It depends on the person. You're a lovely person. And how comfortable I feel. But usually when I'm focused and I'm distracted, my tics go away. And I love talking, so it helps a lot. But, like, for example, we're planning to go to Broadway tonight and have a couple drinks.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yes.

Bailey Dooley

And alcohol seriously affects my tics. It makes them really, really bad. So another question would be like, why would you drink? And it's like, well, I'm 23. A couple drinks doesn't make my tics bad. Six drinks makes my ticks bad.

Dumb Blonde Host

Right.

Bailey Dooley

So.

Dumb Blonde Host

And you also deserve to have fun, too. Not saying that alcohol has to be involved in having fun, but some people want to let loose, you know? And, I mean, you are 20. Would you say 23? Yeah.

Bailey Dooley

And sometimes it helps, like when I. When I have tics. Like, there was one time where we. We got drunk and we went out to a club and I ticked and I flipped some guy off, and he knew who I was, but he, like, got in my face and put his finger in my face and said, no, fuck you, bitch. Fuck you, bitch. And all of his friends, like, went to go fight the guy like you. So it's just kind of like, sometimes when I'm around drunk people, I rather be a little bit more on the tipsy side. So then if they come up and they approach me, like, things like that, then I'm not, like, completely sober and almost, like, offended by it.

Dumb Blonde Host

Right.

Bailey Dooley

Because they're. There's just been a lot of times with drunk people that in my condition, that I just don't like it.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. But people. I. Hopefully people listen to this podcast and they can learn how it is from the other side and how you feel and how you guys feel, you know? So hopefully this will definitely open up people's eyes to that. So let's talk about the. The show. Like, so you guys were dating before the show even started. How was that conversation when you guys decided to let cameras in on your life? Because, you know, that's life changing.

Bailey Dooley

It was a really big decision. It definitely took a lot of trust. Just because Tourette's needs to be shown correctly. It's so complex. It's so hard to understand. A lot of people don't get it. They don't understand. So making sure that it was described and shown correctly was so, so important. And that's really hard to take that risk when you're going into having somebody else be in control of your life and your story. So it was definitely a big risk. It definitely took a lot of conversations, not only with him, but with my family. A lot of thinking, a lot of emotions, a lot of tears, a lot of laughs. But also, ultimately, probably one of the best decisions we've ever made for the Tourette community, because we had to put ourselves aside and realize this is not about us. This is about Tourette's and the community and getting it out there into the world, because it's so misunderstood. Everywhere you go, anything that you see, there's not really a movie that describes it in a way that really shows Tourette's true colors or what. What. And how it looks like in everybody. Like, on the show, I have multiple people that also have Tourette's and how it manifests itself differently. So it was definitely hard.

Colin Dooley

Yeah, it was. It was tough because we were only dating for four or five months when that opportunity arose. And I was in the moment where I was still adjusting to her fame on social media. Like, I'm very private. I grew up in a real small town, so I was still adjusting to the whole social media thing. And then it was like, hey, we have an opportunity for A TV show. And I was like, a TV show?

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah.

Colin Dooley

I think just taking a step back and realizing that it's not about us, it's not about anyone else.

Bailey Dooley

It's about anything.

Colin Dooley

It's about the condition and about Tourette's and the community and spreading awareness. And so if you take a step back, it's a lot easier to make that decision.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. How were you guys so trusting? Because especially you guys aren't executive producers, right?

Colin Dooley

No.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. So it's like you have to really, like, did you guys lay it out to everybody, like, hey, this is what we want. This is how we want it to look? Or did you just trust the process and just watch it? The first season that came out and got to see, you know, what was made from that, we basically just got

Bailey Dooley

to watch it as it came out.

Dumb Blonde Host

Wow. So you guys just took a chance and look at how it turned out, though? No. That's amazing. Has filming taught you guys anything new about yourselves?

Bailey Dooley

I think it's definitely brought us closer. When we started dating, we still had a great relationship, but it's definitely brought us a lot closer in a lot

Dumb Blonde Host

of different ways because you guys get to look back and, like, if there's even an argument or, like, how you handle the situation, you guys get to look back on it and. And reflect.

Colin Dooley

Yeah. I think it's really taught us to communicate a lot better with each other throughout filming because filming is very hectic and it can get chaotic and it's busy schedules, especially when I'm in the military as well. So I feel like just communicating through that process and through production is what it's really taught us over the years.

Dumb Blonde Host

Okay, so where are you. Where does it stand now? Where are you guys at with this transition of you coming of the military and what do you do in the military? I don't think I've ever learned what you've done.

Colin Dooley

Yeah. So for the past five and a half years, I am a Paul bearer in the United States Air Force. Basically, I carry caskets during military funerals out in Arlington National Cemetery, will carry the fallen member to their grave site, will fold their flag for them, render military honors. It's been an amazing. An amazing job that I've gotten to experience and do. I mean, to be the last,

Ryan Reynolds

really

Colin Dooley

the last face that the military sees, that the family sees of the military. It's been really nice to be a part of that. It's super special.

Dumb Blonde Host

Wow. You're a special person to be able to do that. I mean, to be surrounded by the Death. And. And, you know, the fallen soldiers. And again, thank you for your service.

Colin Dooley

Thank you.

Dumb Blonde Host

Did you go into the military and pick that, or did they pick that for you? Or how does one. I didn't even know that that was an option to do.

Colin Dooley

Yeah, it's. It's not a lot of us. There's. There's

Bailey Dooley

20 wieners. 10 wieners, 10 wieners, 10 ways.

Colin Dooley

But I think. Yeah. So when. When I first joined, I chose that

Dumb Blonde Host

job that says a lot about you.

Colin Dooley

Yeah. So I was. I was super excited to do it, and I just didn't know that I would end up being there for five and a half years. But I've loved every bit of it. I have done over a thousand funerals during that time frame, so I. I love George Washington's dick, every part of that. And. And as far as the transitioning out and the move and all of that, all of that's still in the process. There's a lot of approvals that I have to get on my side of things. So. Yeah. Still a work in progress.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. So is it going to unfold on this season? Do we have to keep watching?

Colin Dooley

It will.

Dumb Blonde Host

Okay. I can't wait. I'm going to be texting bail and be like, I knew it. What are you guys excited about now? Like, now that you guys have gotten married, you guys are fresh off your honeymoon. Like, what is exciting, you guys? What are you guys looking forward to?

Colin Dooley

I think really just for me, I don't know about for you. For me, it's really trying to, like, take a step back and slow down. Our lives have been pretty hectic. Like with. With the TV show, with getting married, with the honeymoon, it's been pretty, pretty wild. And then also trying to potentially move and potentially change careers. There's been a lot on the table and a lot that's been happening around us. So I think really what I'm most excited about is really just taking a step back. Yeah.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. When the cameras aren't on, what is your guys's favorite thing to do?

Bailey Dooley

Date nights. But it's so simple. All we like to do when we don't film is, like, put a TV show on and just cuddle and just, like, give each other time. Because we know that, like, with everything going on in our lives, we still try to as hard as we can to prioritize each other. And sometimes it's not the easiest for me to, like, go out to restaurants and do things like that, but I'd say it's one of best. Day one of the best times of the day.

Dumb Blonde Host

What about for you? Is that your favorite too?

Colin Dooley

Yeah, I think really just trying to figure out any way to spend time together. Whether it is going to a restaurant or if her ticks are too bad and she can't do a restaurant scene, then cooking at home, having a wine night, watching Netflix, whatever it may be. Just trying to.

Bailey Dooley

Taking the dogs on a walk.

Colin Dooley

Yeah. Really just try to spend time with each other without any. Any cameras or anything around.

Dumb Blonde Host

I love that for you guys. What are you guys most proud of right now

Bailey Dooley

as a couple?

Dumb Blonde Host

Individual and as a couple. Hey, man, come here. I'm sorry, hold on. Come here, man. You're acting up today. Get up here. It's time to work, buddy. Come on. Golly. Okay.

Bailey Dooley

I'm very proud of how far I've came in the last two years since three years since we've been dating. I was living at home in my parents basement. My tics were so bad I would have tic attacks. They're like an excessive amount of tics in a period of time that you don't know how long it will last for and you don't really know what the tics are. It's. It's been a long ride figuring out my condition and myself and my confidence. And I get a lot of it from him. He helps me a lot with that. But I would say I've come a really, really long, hard far way. I never pictured myself getting married five years ago because I never thought that my ticks would allow me to walk down the aisle.

GoFundMe User/Testimonial

So

Bailey Dooley

it's been really nice to be along this journey with him and just be proud of myself at the same time and realize I've come a far away. And to be able to acknowledge that is so, so beautiful for me.

Dumb Blonde Host

You're conquering things every day. And like, even just from when I saw like the first season to now, like, seeing how much you've grown as a woman is. Is really a beautiful journey to watch. And I think we're all rooting for you guys. We're literally all. Even you, Colin. Like, you have grown so much with her too. So I mean, you guys are like America's couple right now.

Colin Dooley

That's sweet.

Dumb Blonde Host

And what are you proud of, Colin?

Colin Dooley

Yeah, I think. I think I'm really just proud of how far I've seen her come. Like, there's been a lot of struggles that she's had, whether it's communication or the fear of germs. Her condition, Tourette's as a whole. It's all like, grown so fast for the good in the past three years that, I mean, it's. It's amazing to kind of really sit back and watch and be along for the ride. But as that happens, I also have to. To learn new ways and figure out ways to help her as her condition adapts and changes throughout the year. So it's all a learning curve. I don't know everything there is to know, and I definitely don't.

Dumb Blonde Host

So, yeah, I feel like it's a testament of love, though, because, you know, you're pouring into her, she's pouring into you, and you guys are just both blooming and flourishing. And I mean, that's. That's what love is all about. And you guys are setting the example. So I'm proud of you guys for doing that too.

Bailey Dooley

Thank you so much.

Colin Dooley

Thanks.

Dumb Blonde Host

What do you hope people feel after spending the hour with with us today and listening to this podcast? What do you want them to take away from this?

Bailey Dooley

That was a great question. A lot of different things. I want them to take away that Tourette's can look a lot differently for a lot of other people. I want people to kind of understand a little bit more about endometriosis and kind of that background and the similarity we have. I'm glad that he got to come on. That's super cool. His first time ever coming with to like, with me to do this stuff. So it's so cool to have him with me. I don't know. I just hope people take away the fact that Tourette's is real and there is things that I say that are funny, but there's also times where it's very difficult and it's very hard to deal with, and it's paralyzing sometimes. It gets very, very difficult to do a lot of different things, and it gets very hard to walk sometimes, and it's very hard to see sometimes. I just hope that people also understand not to call me Tourette's girl.

Dumb Blonde Host

Yeah. To approach you with love. I mean, like, come on. I can't. When you told me people were doing that, I was just like, our world has no hope. Like, what the is wrong with you guys? I just want to shake people. What about you, Colin? What are you hoping they take home after listening to this?

Colin Dooley

I hope they. They learn that people with Tourette's don't tic 24 7. That is a huge misconception that a lot of people don't really know. Like she said, there's a lot of times where she's Just sitting there and she can sit there for 30 minutes, an hour, two hours, and just not take if she's comfortable and relaxed. I hope that they continue to watch the show and watch our relationship and just actually learn a lot about who we are as people and individually. And I think those are the biggest two takeaways.

Wayfair/Mint Mobile/Chime Advertiser

Great.

Dumb Blonde Host

Better than me.
