0:02:05 - Candi

Good morning. You're on the Joyride today with Melody and Candi. I saw the cutest video. It involved Melody's grandson Benson, and he's in the back of a vehicle in his car seat and he is just singing out Jesus loves me. 

0:02:23 - Melody

Yes, Candi in the back seat singing Jesus loves me. And then there was an encore presentation of he's Got the Whole World in His Hands. Here you go y'all. I hope this makes you smile.

So he's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands, he's got the whole world in his hands. 

0:03:32 - Melody

Y'all, I could absolutely eat that baby up. Useless pieces of trivial information that do you no good but are fun to know Like this. Did you know the woodpecker can hammer? 

0:03:41 - Candi

wood up to 16 times per second. Did not know that 16? 

0:03:45 - Melody

times per second. If you ever had one at you, wendy, you know that I'm telling you. I wanted to slap one upside the head one morning. 

0:03:52 - Candi

Probably wouldn't hurt him. He's used to being hit. 

0:03:55 - Melody

True, there's one Saturday morning when I can sleep and that thing was out there sawing. 

0:04:02 - Candi

We have one outside of our house too, but I don't feel like he does it that fast. 

0:04:13 - Melody

Hey Candi, have you heard of Murphy's Law? 

0:04:15 - Candi

Yes, well tell me what it is. That means if something can go wrong, it will go wrong Exactly. 

0:04:21 - Melody

So have you ever heard of Cole's Law? No, what is that? Thinly sliced cabbage and mayo. 

0:04:30 - Candi

Oh, my word, Cole's Law, you're on the Joyride with Melody and Candi and I heard today that the human body is made up of mostly 60% water.

0:04:44 - Melody

Well, that explains a lot. I'm not fat, I'm flooded. 

0:04:51 - Candi

You're listening to Joy FM, Melody and Candi with you. Melody, you are a Gen Xer. I am. Why is it that your generation seems to be so mad at music? 

0:05:04 - Melody

Well, I will just tell you, because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection, and then we had to replace the tape collection with a CD collection, and now that's slowly being replaced with the MP3 collection and finally, now we have to have a subscription to even listen to music. Frankly, we're tired Candi. We're tired Candi. I've decided that I am going to stand outside today. Okay, why? 

0:05:34 - Candi

Welcome to the Joyride. Many of you have grandchildren and, melody, I'm going to ask you I don't have them yet, but I can imagine what I'll be like when I do Do you find that you treat your grandchildren differently than you treated your own children? Absolutely, okay, well, don't feel bad about that, absolutely. 

0:05:54 - Melody

Here's a great example of that when my kids were growing up, I would cook dinner and I'd put it down and say you get what you get. Let's just say I fixed spaghetti and salad and bread. I don't want spaghetti. Well, I'd say well tough, go to bed hungry. Yeah, you get what you get, deal with it. You either eat it or starve. You don't do that now. No, now, as a grandmother for my little two grandsons, I'm like would you like your little grilled? 

0:06:21 - Candi

cheese sandwich cut into stars or squares. That's the truth, isn't it? What has happened? 

0:06:25 - Melody

You totally change when you become a grandmother. It doesn't matter Like no, they can have whatever they want. 

0:06:31 - Candi

Like if you don't want this fancy pasta dish, honey, what do you want? 

0:06:38 - Melody

want this fancy pasta dish. Honey, what do you want? I will make whatever. Yes, yeah, I have totally gone completely in the opposite direction of how I raise my own children. That's okay, though, right? Oh, I think it's in the rule book of how to be a grandmother. It's Melody and Candi here on the joyride, and Candi. There's one thing we both love and there's one thing we both don't love. We love French fries, mm-hmm, but we don't love exercise. 

0:06:59 - Candi

Right, you know, it is amazing to me how much exercise and extra fries sound alike. 

0:07:07 - Melody

I'll take fries with that. Hey, Candi, yeah, I feel like the morning joyride is like a box of chocolates. 

0:07:13 - Candi

Really Mm-hmm. I agree, you never know what you're going to get. 

0:07:17 - Melody

Is that not the truth?
