There's two very large alligators out here and I can't tie up them.
Speaker 3:Florida man accused of throwing an alligator through a drive-thru window.
Speaker 1:What's happening, everybody? This is the that's On Florida podcast. I'm the host. Omg, it's Wix. We had a good pre-show, because y'all know we do a pre-show before we do the show, but I'm going to let everybody else introduce themselves and then we're gonna get to it what's up?
Speaker 3:it's manny knox. Like share, subscribe. I don't know if you're gonna get alpha manny today, beta manny apparently alpha manny don't exist. That's fine. Um, I just hope you unhappy people find a reason to be happy. Hopefully we'll say something that'll make you happy. Um, good luck bro. Good luck it's gonna. Every little thing is gonna be all right because you will be there. Beware every little step no, nah, some of y'all boy step. Anyways, positivity is key. I'll kick it off to lena hello, hello guys.
Speaker 2:I'm not to complain about how hot it is, because apparently, when I do that, I'm not a native to Florida.
Speaker 3:Maybe you got your diet right. I know You're going to be so hot.
Speaker 2:Anyways, a lot of you look like you've been struggling from those pictures. Anyways, go ahead, wix.
Speaker 1:No, I'm going to say something right, because a lot of people will say something and they'll try to use it as like a burn. Listen, I'm a born and raised Floridian. Lena is too. Manny's been here since he was 10. You can't.
Speaker 1:And a lot of people say like, because they're used to something in their area and normally they're not even from where we're from. We're from south and southwest Florida, so your experience in north Florida is not the same as ours. So you're talking about the heat that you deal with or the humidity that you deal with. I can guarantee you it's not the same. Once you get below Bradenton, I think it's where it becomes like a subtropical climate. We are the rainforest at this point. We are that weather. You ever watch Predator and you see that weather and you, like I know it's hot there. We can step outside and feel that. Y'all just gotta imagine. We can feel that when we step outside today because it's been raining. Um, so, while y'all telling us that we, because we don't, we complain about the heat, that we're not native floridians.
Speaker 1:I'm a born and raised floridian. I played sports growing up. I worked outside for 10 years and you want to know what I did every year complain about the heat, that we're not native Floridians. I'm a born and raised Floridian. I played sports growing up. I worked outside for 10 years and you want to know what I did every year Complain about the heat. And I'm going to continue to complain about the heat. I've been here for 40 years and I'm going to keep doing it.
Speaker 1:So if you and your assumption. You know what matter of fact. You come to South, close to the Everglades. Stay outside and tell me how you feel.
Speaker 2:That's where I'm going to leave it at yeah, and you know what it reminds me of a girl where I said, ooh, it's hot. Today I'm very hot. It's not hot. How are you going to tell me how I feel my body?
Speaker 3:temperature is hot, you know.
Speaker 2:So I remember. A few days later she said how much her stomach hurt. I looked and I said your stomach don stomach hurt.
Speaker 1:I looked at it and said your stomach don't hurt. Oh, Lena, with the burn.
Speaker 2:Okay, so that's how it is. If a person is hot, they're freaking hot. If they're cold, they're cold. You can't tell them, no, it's not hot, that person is hot.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, just enough of it. And then when I post something like oh, how hot it is today about the people working outside, god bless them. There is a special place in heaven for them, for people that work in the sun. There really is. There's a special, special place for them. I chose not to work on the sun because I can't tolerate it. There's people that could tolerate the heat, there's people that can't. There's people that blister up and get sunburned and there's people that just turn this beautiful dark color everyone's freaking different and accept how they feel she almost died three times picking mangoes.
Speaker 3:Bro, leave her alone.
Speaker 2:So before the show I brought mangoes and I did climb a tree early this morning, you know, got a few mangoes down from my tree and brought it for everyone to eat as a little snack. I'm not gonna lie you climbed the tree?
Speaker 3:yeah, did you get any like? Did you have any help?
Speaker 2:uh, just my daughter.
Speaker 3:I told her, you know she boosted you up no, to grab me if I fall oh, that's what, but so you didn't use a. How tall is the tree? Um, it's pretty like if you had to guess feet so I have a little step stool.
Speaker 2:With three steps it was enough for me to get on and get on the first one and kind of climb my way out to the top.
Speaker 3:So you didn't really have to climb the tree.
Speaker 1:You went up if you knew a mango tree, she had to climb it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you got on the ladder and then climbed after that yes, that's what I'm trying to say, yeah, so yeah, guys just respect how other people feel. Oh, I was born in a house with no ac congratulations there's no way.
Speaker 3:You're an alpha, you're not in the room to sense the energy we're going off today y'all.
Speaker 1:Y'all started something, and now it's beef and we blame it. We're blaming it on the heat, because we are hot but that's the thing, because I worked outside for 10 years, like I did it for 10 years, but I also grew up playing sports, all the outdoor sports, the football. I had all the pads on the two-a-days like I did all of that. And so for y'all to be like, oh, you're not a nate, listen, my birth certificate will tell you different. That's all I could tell you. That's all I could tell you.
Speaker 2:That's, that's what it is people like, become, like, adapt themselves to certain type of weather. Oh oh, back in the days there was no AC back in the, and I understand, because they were adapted to their lifestyle. Like for me, I've never really worked outside. I will tell you if I, if I'm outside for more than two hours, I'm going to die of a heat stroke because I'm not used to it. But there is people that work nine, 10 hours and they're good and they come home full of energy for them because they adapt them themselves to that temperature, to that weather, to being that type of person yeah that's when I go to my country and I go with friends.
Speaker 2:They are actually hot and I'm not, and we don't have ac in colombia, so they're well, can we go to a hotel? I'm like yo just get a fan, you're, you're good. I don't feel hot, they do, but I respect them. I don't be like it's not hot and no, they're not used to that lifestyle listen they're not used to the temperature, they're not used to being in mountains, they're not used to none of that you have to respect that.
Speaker 1:That's true. It's a good different altitude so it's a different experience.
Speaker 1:And that's the thing when with floridians like I've seen a lot of floridians that'll go to another state and they'll go to that dry heat and they'll be like, oh no, it's hotter there, but it's not. I guess it's hotter to them because we're used to humidity, so our air has moisture. You go somewhere without the moisture. I've had people I don't know if y'all watch Keith Lee, y'all watch Keith Lee. He's like a big food review. He doesn't do. He say he just. And he got famous off eating food.
Speaker 2:Um, he's like is it that mac bong, mock bong or whatever?
Speaker 1:that crap is no no, he just on tiktok. He does he well. He's on all social media now but he just goes to. He's done videos with cardi b, kevin hart, um and all these other people. All he do is go eat food and he just review food places to try to drop, like business, uh, business to small businesses. Now he stays in las vegas right where everybody's like Las Vegas is one of the hottest places you know, yada, yada, yada. He came to, he was in Miami in May. He wasn't even in August. He was in Miami in May and he was like I don't know how y'all live here. He was like this is the hottest I've ever been. I don't know how. And he said the same thing when he went to Orlando last year. So I guess it's all about what you're used to. If you're used to the dry heat, if you come to weather that you got to swim in, the air you got to swim in, it's going to be a lot different for you. Anyways, we're hot and it's hot today.
Speaker 2:It's humid, humid, hot.
Speaker 1:I stepped outside yesterday after the rained and I felt like the humidity grabbed me by the throat and just was like taking me down.
Speaker 2:I felt it like rise from like the soil, like I feel like there was, like the spirit was going to grab my legs and pull me down. I felt it.
Speaker 3:Lena walked in that door looking like somebody hit her in the forehead with a water balloon. Forehead glistening, glistening for no reason.
Speaker 3:You know when you take a hot dog out of the water in the first part and it's just dripping. Yo, I made hot dogs yesterday. I told my nephew, hey, I made you a hot dog. He said the dumbest thing. I, you know, I can't wait. This boy said, hey, hey, theo, how do I get the water off of the hot dog? I said what? What's going on in that kitchen? What is he talking about? Oh, I'm sorry, hey, shout out to your forehead. It inspires a story here. I appreciate you for that. Oh my gosh man, I freaking hate, him today.
Speaker 2:I liked him last week, you like it, not today?
Speaker 1:I guess it's a day-to-day thing. I thought you like punishment, well, well, we're going to keep going, so okay. So I don't know if y'all know this, but I've been trying to tell people. Florida is the shark attack capital of the world Not just the United States, but the world. So that means out of every place in the world. We get the most shark attacks in Florida, but people are always shocked when we have shark attacks, but this happens so often that it becomes like a normal thing. Now, it's always sad when people get injuries, because I know there was what three people that got attacked Before we get into that real quick.
Speaker 3:They kind of make me mad. Why? Because I love the water. I be in the water at the beach all the time. So what I'm trying to say and this might just I don't know what this says about me, but so I'm in this water looking like a snack and I've never been attacked. You know what I'm saying? Sharks don't even want you Because I be in there looking like a whole snack.
Speaker 2:No, because you're alpha.
Speaker 3:Not a nibble, Never mind, Get back to it. Dog Yo shout out. I was upset, but then you made me feel His whole voice changed.
Speaker 1:He was like I was in there looking like a snack, yeah shout out what you just said.
Speaker 3:I got to rethink how I feel about you, dog. We're going to talk about it some other time. I got to get this started.
Speaker 1:Oh man, but there was three people injured in like two shark attacks within 90 minutes. So what I would say is, when you come to Florida waters, you have to be aware I don't know if these people were Floridians or what they were from somewhere else, and I know people are attracted. They see the beaches. They come to Florida like, oh, we see beaches. There's so much going on in Florida water. There's the rip tides and the rip currents. There's all these animals. I think we had great whites here, we had whale sharks. We've had you got to watch out for the bulls. Yeah, there's so many things in florida beaches that people think alligators can't be on the beach. I know they're all the time the alligators are on the beach. If you go too far south then you might see a crocodile.
Speaker 2:When you come to florida, you have to be aware of what's going on and a thing that they say well, if you don't provoke them, they won't attack you. From what I've been reading from these articles, these sharks were not provoked. They literally came and attacked these people out of nowhere, and it wasn't just a simple attack where they just got a little bite. There was amputation involved for these people, which is insane to me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then another thing the man of war. People don't know. We have those man of war, jellyfish type things. Them things will take you out.
Speaker 2:We have so much going on have you ever got stung by it?
Speaker 1:no, every time I see one, I'm listen.
Speaker 2:There's not a lot that happened yes, I was a little kid and I still remember that pain. I felt like someone put the, the iron right on my skin and would not come off, and the whole thing of oh pee on them is not a myth. It's not a myth. It did ease the pain. Did it take it away? No, but it did ease that pain that I had and I was a little girl and it got me on the leg I was. First of all, my parents saw me picking these jellyfish from the top and placing them outside of the beach. So what I did is that I made a little hole and I put water into that little hole outside. I was a little girl, I was seven or eight okay and I was getting these now.
Speaker 2:One time my parents said, lena, don't do that, they're gonna sting you. So I'm doing it and they're watching me collecting these things, until I went back to the water to grab another one, got me right in the leg the most excruciating pain ever. They did provide some type of like cream I don't know what cream it was when I was rushed to the hospital because it was bad. My mom says that I developed fever. I was screaming for hours. Yeah, it was bad, bad.
Speaker 1:There's a lot going on in the water. I always tell people be careful, because there's so much going on in florida waters and you got to be aware, like be aware of what's going on around you and pretty much any body of water, because I remember at one point what we mean. It can't be really be aware of this, but we had the what uh?
Speaker 2:flesh eating bacteria in fort myers beach not too long ago.
Speaker 1:Yes, A couple years ago where people was going with little cuts and stuff and you're like, oh, I'll be fine, not in Florida water. So I always tell you, be careful if you're out here. There is a reason why Floridians live the way that we live and we've survived the way that we've survived. It's not because we're crazy, it's just we have to adapt to everything that goes on around us and we're not being extreme in a lot of situations, as y'all can tell, which is you know and shout out to the brave people that are willing to go into Fort Myers Beach water Boy, because y'all don't care about life.
Speaker 1:They said it's a lot cleaner though. Okay, Recently.
Speaker 2:Are they going to do bleach the sea? I don't know if I'm not getting in water where I, if I look down and I can't see my feet, I'm not getting in. I need to know. I need to see the stingrays, the snapping turtles, the, the crabs. I need to see all that. I need to see.
Speaker 1:You know and do my little shuffle and stuff I need to see I don't want to see no crabs no time soon after that scuba diving incident. I don't know no blue crab incident. It's up with the crab community. It's up for the crab community. It's up. It ain't up for the mermaid community no more, because it was just the one person I think I told you about, but for the crab community. It's up and the mockingbird.
Speaker 3:Well with this whole shark thing. And maybe I'm naive, like you said, when I'm in the water like I'm not worried, but I'm looking the where, what's going on, yeah, like I like I don't turn my back to the ocean. My back is to the sand and I'm chilling and I'm looking, but they come from.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, yeah so I'm looking.
Speaker 3:So my thing, I think you would see it before. I mean, I know things happen, but I'm not.
Speaker 2:If you're in fort myers beach, you're not gonna see it once.
Speaker 3:I mean, I know things happen, but I'm thinking like Not if you're in Fort Myers Beach, you would see it before. You're not going to see it Once again You're swimming in coffee water Once again for the brave souls that don't care about life or have respect for themselves. They'll be at Fort Myers Beach. I'm not talking about. I would not step foot.
Speaker 2:I'll go get ice cream at Fort Myers Beach next time that you make coffee, I want you to look at that mug before you pour your milk in or your creamers. That's the color of our beach.
Speaker 1:You got to put a little bit of water in it to like make it like you know how the dark sit at the bottom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there's like a little light at the top and you got the dark to put a little bit of water in it and just test. Can't see it? That's what our water looks like maybe that's what the hurricane like. The hurricane mixed it up no, it was like that before.
Speaker 3:No no, I'm saying, but now maybe they're saying it's cleaner because the hurricane like mixed up the water well, a lot of it is.
Speaker 1:They say, because we get that that runoff from um lake okachobee, they release it.
Speaker 2:I want to say they go into the gulf which in turns, we get that they don't mix because there's high salt levels on part of that ocean that won't mix. Have you seen like where two oceans meet. It's two different colors, two different shades.
Speaker 1:I've seen that. I know I do that in the spring. There's a place in the springs where there's like I want to say it's by Silver Spring. I can't remember exactly what spring it is, but there's one spring to where it's like there's a line and you can see it's dark and it's like crystal clear, right on the other side.
Speaker 2:It's crazy and it's like you can see the line just splitting like right, it's so cool.
Speaker 1:Fort Myers Beach doesn't have that water?
Speaker 2:No, we don't. It's probably just like let all the dirty water in. I know what is it called, like little bleach tablets in it that's what we need to do.
Speaker 1:Everybody dump out their oil. What's the rocks they got in the springs? Go ahead and give me that. Give me them rocks they got in the springs and put it in fort myers, because some needs, some needs to happen yeah for fort myers beach because, but they said, they said it was supposed to be getting clear at some point. But we'll see what happens. I guess I'll never know.
Speaker 3:I'm never I'm good, you won't try it. That's look, that's for the riffraff. Let's just be real, I'm gonna be an elitist. Fort myers beach is for the riffraff. So what beach you, what beach you choosing? Uh, I always go to wiggins, pass naples, like I just went this week crystal clear water, there was fish all over my feet. You went, went to Naples. Yeah, you was on a date. No, I was with my niece in Nucky. Actually, a girl did come.
Speaker 1:Then I tell you, lena, I be knowing Never again.
Speaker 2:What you mean.
Speaker 3:Never again, I don't know what's going to happen with my love life.
Speaker 2:I know I feel you, but she's like too young.
Speaker 1:Like not illegal, don Not like that, but like Okay, mr Alpha man.
Speaker 3:He's a young woman and I'm like I told her straight up like it's not going to work, she come to the beach. She don't want to do nothing, she don't want to get in the water Like man, just stay home dog. I'm out here being adventurous, Benjamin wait on you, I'll pick your, I'll drag your ass into the water. That wasn't. And then she's reading what kind of dummy reads. I'm joking.
Speaker 1:Benjamin for the half. What would you?
Speaker 3:Boring. I feel like Get out of here with that, I feel like I want to do that today.
Speaker 2:I want to go see the sunset at the beach, probably take my daughter and do something like that. It's not too hot, right.
Speaker 1:It's cooled down a little, that's good. It's good weather for that. Yeah, because you. It's cooled down a little, it's good.
Speaker 3:it's good weather for that, well if you yeah, cause you know after it rain, it's supposed to rain all week just take an umbrella with you, cause you can use it for shade or if it rains. But you should do that, I think that would be nice for you. I need it take my book and read like I think that you had like a ratchet free weekend finally, and I think you should keep that going listen this weekend and last weekend.
Speaker 2:So my I'm a big believer of energy and I feel like my energy has been off these past two weeks. You know because I deal with a lot, so it's always me that tells my friends like, hey, my energy's off. I just don't want to bring my energy on you, so I'd rather just stay home and avoid it and just relax. That's the type of person I am, so that's been my thing this whole weekend. Oh, let's do this. I'm like my energy. What does that mean? It means that I don't feel like it's positive right now and I just don't want you around me when my energy is.
Speaker 1:I don't want to spread this, I want to contain it. Deal with it. Let me fix what to rub on anybody. I'm so glad.
Speaker 2:Today, you are amazing Every day. I wish we could freeze this Every day. It's the new hair, it's these inches.
Speaker 3:Gentlemen, I hope your justice turned on by this, as you are her tomfoolery. This is actually more attractive, so I hope you are really listening. Wow, more attractive. So I hope y'all really are listening. And wow, lena's over here educating us on the um how infectious energy can be I'm with that.
Speaker 1:I like it listen. That's why you got to be around people that put out that energy if they're negative and they're all constantly putting out negative energy. You don't really want that because then you're going to absorb that negative energy you're going to be. You know they're going to make you a negative person. Then everybody's negative, then you gotta. You know you don't want that. You don't want that.
Speaker 2:But okay, but then I feel bad for my daughter because I stay home and then I bully her. You saw my videos that I've been doing.
Speaker 3:I see her, she probably, but it's more in fun though her face don't look like it's in fun.
Speaker 1:She's like like, it's more like why me?
Speaker 3:and I'm sure she gives it to you way more than you give it to her. So so you good.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:You good All right.
Speaker 1:So next right, Another thing in Florida. So Florida is the shark attack capital of the world. We're also the lightning capital of the United States. A lot of people don't know that I don't own an umbrella. Right, I don't own an umbrella. I don't own one. Do you own an umbrella?
Speaker 2:I just bought one.
Speaker 1:You just bought one.
Speaker 2:Yes, and it's this umbrella. I spoke about it last time. I have it in my car.
Speaker 1:I knew it.
Speaker 2:It opens like this, and then, when you close it, it turns like this so then the rain doesn't get on you, or whatever. I thought it was the most coolest thing I've ever seen. I said this is magical. Where did you buy it? Oh, I bought it in amazon.
Speaker 3:I went to amazon I swear I.
Speaker 2:In my search I put incredible umbrella. It came out that's not even the name for it, but it knew what I was talking about and it's the coolest thing after the show. I gotta bring it in because it's amazing.
Speaker 3:Technology is great. Now because wait, is it a bad? Why are you saying because I've been thinking about going umbrella shopping too?
Speaker 1:I'm scared. I'm not. We're the lightning strike capital of the States.
Speaker 3:But don't you think by now they would have created like a? I know this is going to sound mad dumb, but wouldn't they create like an anti-lightning umbrella button, like, made mostly of plastic, or something like?
Speaker 2:that yeah, the one I got is mostly plastic or like bamboo. People like bamboo.
Speaker 1:Listen, I ain't taking no chances. I'm not sticking nothing else in the air and taking no chances for because we're not made out of metal, but it'll take us down.
Speaker 3:I'll just take two Immokalee girls together and hold them over my head.
Speaker 2:Are your frames metal or plastic?
Speaker 3:My glasses. Yeah they're metal. Oh sure, I think mine's plastic Lightning's not going to hit my glasses. Manny don't say that we're in Florida how do you know that? We'll look it up after the show.
Speaker 1:There's gotta be like wood or plastic umbrellas static shock ooh, what if you become a superhero?
Speaker 3:fat dudes don't get superpowers and they never do what if?
Speaker 2:he becomes like Harry Potter, and then he has a little lightning on his forehead.
Speaker 1:That'd be dope. That'd be a cool story, though yeah, that'd be a cool story.
Speaker 3:I'm the prince of lightning Like a Hispanic Harry Potter. Yeah, harry Potter.
Speaker 1:Do you really want many out here casting spells on people like with magic? You don't want that.
Speaker 2:Everyone will be walking around here like frogs.
Speaker 3:A wand with a Dominican flag on the back. Nah, we good bro, let's not do that.
Speaker 1:Leave those powers to somebody who just give that to somebody yeah, not me though there's a no, lena don't need powers, I hold grudges manny don't forever and 50 cent doing the three people that don't need magic.
Speaker 3:We interrupted you we are the lightning capital of the us. I would have never guessed that, why we got to be on the top of the list of so many things, that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 1:We're on the top of the list of a lot of things man, Most invasive species. I don't know how educated you are.
Speaker 3:Is it because of the area, or is it something we have in the state that attracts more lightning? We've had wildfire.
Speaker 2:We've had that before.
Speaker 1:And for an earthquake we didn't. We have one less than a year ago it was in the handle florida. Well yeah, it was more. So out there it's still florida, but we don't, we're not known for it like, okay, so say, if you're in california, right, and like when california got that hurricane they were like panicking because they don't get hurricanes no, they don't we.
Speaker 1:We get a cat and I think it was on like a category one and we get a category one. Like you know, most jobs are like bro, you coming in tomorrow right.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. But California they shut down for the Category 1. Now, if we got that earthquake, it was out in the ocean and people barely felt a light tremble and people were panicking, because we're not used to stuff like that, we're not used to an earthquake. So I guess it just depends on where and the wildfires that we get wildfires but not like california get wildfires. You know what I'm saying. Like I don't even know how they got enough land to keep having wildfires, because they have so many every year and it's like always a huge wildfire every year.
Speaker 2:Um, so people that leave like up north and come to the south when it gets too cold. Up north they're called snowbirds. What do you call floridians that leave florida because we are approaching a hurricane?
Speaker 3:that is a good question. We need it well. That's way different, though, because we're leaving, because it's an emergency no, a lot of people do.
Speaker 2:I mean we don't, but I know a lot of people that leave. I know a lot of people so what do you say?
Speaker 3:like, just when there's, just because they know it's hurricane season, they leave, and they're not waiting for a hurricane, they just leave into a hurricane you know, like two days or three days before the hurricane hits.
Speaker 2:So they go and travel they go somewhere to stay with a family member because northerners come here.
Speaker 3:There is no emergency. They're just sick of the weather over there. They just come, it's not an emergency but what do you leave? It's an emergency a smart person if it's an emergency.
Speaker 1:That's the thing. So they did a study and I think the study might be a little off, but they said one in every four Floridians will ignore a hurricane evacuation.
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 1:I'm one in four. I think that number is higher. It is higher. I think that number gotta be higher. It is higher. You'll see a hurricane coming and you'll be like, well, who's evacuating? And you'll be like, well, who's evacuating? You'll see, like most people like I'm not evacuating, I'm just staying here with my stuff. You know what I'm saying? Like because most of the time, like it's gonna come over, we're gonna deal with it, and a lot of us that are born, you know, that are here for a long time. We've dealt with some crazy stuff. So you're kind of like I know it's gonna be bad, but I'm gonna make it what was the hurricane that happened about?
Speaker 2:I'll say, seven years ago. It was supposed to hit the lower part of florida, but it actually ended up turning and heading towards the tampa and orlando area. That it was. It happened like man. I was still with the father of my child, so it had to be like six, seven years ago was that irma?
Speaker 1:that had to be irma. I.
Speaker 2:I think it was, but I remember putting the things on my window, the shutters. My mom and dad had traveled to Colombia because they used to always leave in the summer. They knew what's up, they and them. And I just remember putting the shutters up and I remember a cop saying this area is evacuation. Please evacuate to your nearest school hospital, blah, blah. I just remember dropping the drill in the shutters, getting my pets into the car. My child and I drove north yeah ended up going to my sister.
Speaker 2:Used to live at that time um ruskin florida ended up going to ruskin, florida, and the hurricane just decided not to hit the lower part of Florida and moved up a little more last minute, so we got hit while we were over there. So here we go, driving back down south with them because they have no electricity. When I came home there was electricity, there was running water and everything. So I left for no reason, but I was so scared and trying to save my family I ended up being stuck over there for two days. Driving back was horrible. I-75 had trees all over the place, it was crazy, and we were like on the road we couldn't go over maybe like 45, the speed limit because we had to be careful, you know.
Speaker 1:Because everything is in the road.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, yes, that was horrible I will say that a lot of people left. I remember a lot of people leave it and then they were getting stuck up north. They were getting stuck because they couldn't return back.
Speaker 1:They couldn't drive back the crazy part about it because my so my sister and my mom, they're floridians, they're born and raised floridians, but they moved to south georgia, like that's where they decided to go. They moved to South Georgia so they were calling me, telling me that I needed to leave, because they know, like they know, how I am, I'm my granddaddy's grandchild, so I'm like I'm going to survive. That's always my mindset is, no matter the situation, I'm going to survive. I don't know, and my granddaddy was like an outdoorsglaze person, so that that you know. But the hurricane came, irma and my kids went with their mom and they went to the hospital. Because that's how my kid's mom is. She's like, oh my god, it's a hurricane coming, and she, like goes to the hospital, me. I was like, okay, my kids are good, I'm good. So I was in the house by myself and I got some alcohol. You know, I'm saying I had a hurricane party. I made some jokes until my internet went out. I was sitting there and then you start panicking.
Speaker 1:I was like, if Irma get in this house because I was single that time I was like Irma get in this house. I've been celibate for a year. It's going to be some trouble.
Speaker 3:I'm going to show you a category five. I was saying stuff like that.
Speaker 1:I'm going to show you but it ended up hitting us, going up, and then it wasn't a hurricane when it hit them, but it was like a tropical storm still and it knocked out all my sister and my mom, all of their power. So they were without power for longer than I was without power and I'm like so what if I would have came up there you know what I'm saying At least in florida. But where we are we're at least built for a hurricane, so we're built to survive a hurricane better than other places. Because when what new york got that hurricane, that category one, and it flooded everything, and people were like it was crazy and we were like it's a category one, but it's because we're built for hurricanes, so it takes like a four or a five before we're like, okay, it affected us, but if we were somewhere else, they get hit with a category one or a tropical storm and it's the worst thing ever to them.
Speaker 2:And another thing I have a tote in my garage that says hurricane supplies. Since we're in season, I take it from the top shelf and put it in the bottom, so I don't have to be climbing on nothing. And I did not know this could happen. I bought batteries last year right Before the hurricane. The big ones, the real, real big ones.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I went on the tow and they're white.
Speaker 1:Oh, for real.
Speaker 2:Yeah, never opened the pack never, and batteries are expensive yeah, they are so what is it called? When the battery starts turning like white, like that, there's a corrosion yes but they were never used. They were still in the pack and they were white it's probably the heat maybe the heat of the yeah, so I gotta buy batteries again, which really, you know it, it does suck. And then the ones that stayed inside the flashlight made the flashlight white.
Speaker 1:For real. So it's corrosion in there too, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I have to get new ones, which really sucks. Well, yeah. So yeah, if you have anything put away, check on it, and always blow up a mattress. You never know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, in my case, just be, have a mattress on, ready for anything at any point in time. In my case, shardae looks at me sideways when I start blowing up a mattress when we get a storm, because she knows some, some craziness is about to happen. Um ie, when ian came, I was out there in the middle of the street on your air mattress. Yeah, I was like there's a video online somewhere. Yeah, I remember people were making fun of me street On your air mattress.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like there's a video online somewhere. I remember people were making fun of me. Don't get on my mattress when you see me.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying, that's all.
Speaker 2:I'm saying when you see me floating in the middle of the street, do not climb on my mattress.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you something because I've seen this and I'm like this is genius. There's a he had an air mattress but he had like a weed whacker and he had it in the water as a propeller on his air mattress with the weed, like I'm like that is genius.
Speaker 1:So now I can cause. I was just kind of wild out there. I was trying to do it with my arms, but my arms ain't really that long and I was kind of spinning in circles. But if I had that weed whacker out there, yes, my kids took it. So I'm like, if I had that and I was able to like guide where I was going, or unless there's like a mobile propeller, I'm going to look for one. There's something, everything exists A portable propeller.
Speaker 2:Let me check.
Speaker 1:Amazon. Thank you, they don't always come through with the research.
Speaker 2:What is it called again?
Speaker 1:What is it? Portable propeller, we're going to roll with that. We're going to roll with that, all right, so, um, with the lightning strike, okay, so Rudy did have a question. If you had to deal with one natural disaster, if you could choose what natural disaster you could go through, if you had to go through one and you could choose which, one you went through.
Speaker 2:You're good, there is some.
Speaker 3:There is some, oh, we in now we in, now, I would say tornadoes.
Speaker 1:You would choose to go through a tornado. Have you ever watched?
Speaker 3:Twister. No, that's not what he said. Oh, that means there's going to be tornadoes. That don't mean the tornado's going to hit me right. I would rather there be tornadoes around than a hurricane, because tornadoes are very isolated, so you can get away from a tornado.
Speaker 1:You can't get away from a hurricane. I feel like tornadoes are just playing it at some point, because at some point you got to be it and I don't want to be it with a tornado. At least I like, I guess, because I was raised with hurricanes, because he didn't really say what category, so give me like a one, well you got to think of the worst of the worst, because he said disaster well, they consider a hurricane a natural disaster oh, lord well, give me the three or two or something I'm gonna say because we're getting away from this tornado.
Speaker 3:I've saw a twist. I'm gonna watch the new one.
Speaker 1:We can get away from it I can't do fire because I got asthma all. I got it like I don't need to be near it. If I'm close enough, I'm going down. That's not a gun your head.
Speaker 2:which disaster would you rather be in? So if I had to choose one, Snowstorm.
Speaker 3:You don't want that.
Speaker 2:I'd rather do a snowstorm.
Speaker 3:No, stop, I don't want to do that. You're not going to say that.
Speaker 2:I don't want that I I think I'm picking snowstorm for the simple fact that I've never been in one that's the worst. So I can't, so I can't picture myself like in danger in a snowstorm I don't know why. Like I said, I've never been in one. For people that have been in one, you'll probably like be like okay, you're crazy, lena, but honestly, you would be trapped in.
Speaker 3:Whatever house you were in, you would die in heat, at least a snowstorm.
Speaker 2:Okay, it's cold, but you could put several layers right, it's a snowstorm you're covered in snow, but you're inside your house.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, but you won't be able to exit your house.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't go out until the snow melts is electricity still running when there's a snowstorm?
Speaker 1:no, it knocks out your power. It does.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:See at least the reason why I say hurricane right, you ain't got a fireplace. So the reason why I say hurricane? Because once the hurricane is over, you can at least go outside assess what's going on. Yes, it might be difficult, but not being able to go outside, listen, you get claustrophobic.
Speaker 2:How long does it take for it to melt away away Like if you're stuck?
Speaker 1:in one. Can you really?
Speaker 2:be stuck in a snowstorm.
Speaker 3:You would literally be stuck in your house.
Speaker 2:I was in blizzards and you're inside the house. How long can?
Speaker 3:We were in blizzards. You couldn't leave the house for almost a week, are? You serious, unless somebody came and shoveled the snow. You know how long that's going to take.
Speaker 2:I thought the sun eventually came and melted it away.
Speaker 3:We lived in the second floor, but it don't get sunlight. And jumped out of the second floor window into the snow for fun. That's how much snow there was in the snowstorm. It ain't no joke bro.
Speaker 1:I'm going to take the hurricane because it's what I'm used to, plus, I know, once the hurricane. So, yes, we're like anticipating a hurricane, but if the hurricane come, once it's passed, it's passed, it's passed. So you're like, all right, I dealt with it, the tornado, if it hits you, it's a wrap it ain't gonna hit you though, bro.
Speaker 3:You just got a serpentine. Is that what? That's what. It is serpentine, but like the car that you got the machine in the back of your truck with the little balls y'all man, don't let manny in the theater to watch twister, because now every time I hear the word twister.
Speaker 2:I just think of the little cow flying Exactly Every single time. Never fails.
Speaker 1:Oh man, All right, so no, I don't want that. I'm going to go with Hurricane Category two. Give me category two.
Speaker 3:See, that's why you're cheating too, because now you're picking the level. It has to be the worst possible.
Speaker 1:So you're going with the worst possible tornado.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's still going to be over there and I'm over here.
Speaker 1:But even a 4,. What if it throws a car?
Speaker 3:into your house. I'm not going to be that close. We're going to be in the whip.
Speaker 2:Whipping, whipping it. Do you think I got that city girl card? For no reason, that is true. What is the speed of a tornado? What has been the biggest speed, like the highest speed of a tornado ever? I need to know this, lord, I'm just getting excited.
Speaker 1:My headache is coming in, let's think about snacks, hurricane snacks. What's your favorite hurricane snacks?
Speaker 2:Okay, hold on. I have to like run my little tempo real quick.
Speaker 3:Well, you can't cook, so it has to be like. You know, you got to pretend Like it's bad.
Speaker 1:You don't just get to cook whenever you want.
Speaker 3:I know what you're about to do, but no, for the most part, shit is out. You can't cook.
Speaker 2:You've never had none of my cooking 302 miles per hour 300 and what?
Speaker 1:No, no, that's the speed of the wind.
Speaker 3:That's not the movement of the tornado.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the wind's.
Speaker 3:No, tornado goes 300,000 miles an hour.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, you're talking about the interior?
Speaker 3:No, you're talking about how far it travels right.
Speaker 2:No, I want to know how like the Fast yeah, how fast, no, no there's two.
Speaker 3:There's the speed of the wind inside the tornado, and how fast Exactly? That's slow.
Speaker 2:So you could get in a car and drive away.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, that's my problem Not that unpredictable because they don't move fast.
Speaker 2:They could slip and slide anywhere. They don't move fast. Okay, they could go in the air and come back down.
Speaker 1:I don't want nothing that's doing crazy stuff. You could think it's over. Like I said, when a hurricane is over, it's over. I don't want nothing to go back in the air and decide. Actually, a hurricane is worse.
Speaker 3:I'm going to one-up you. Tornado warnings come after a hurricane, so it's not over yet, buddy. So you'll get the hurricane and the tornado during a hurricane.
Speaker 2:Okay, can we like?
Speaker 3:Oh my God, we're more likely to die of a tornado than a hurricane during a hurricane. That's it 10 to 20 miles an hour is a typical tornado oh my god, so it's the wind around it that goes crazy, but 300 mile. I mean 300 is a lot you can get away from a tornado in a scooter no, you cannot.
Speaker 2:Yes, you can. A scooter goes faster than 20 miles an hour like a slip not a razor. I mean like okay I was gonna say like a best buy, going to say Like a Vespa.
Speaker 1:I thought like wait, I have a hoverboard at home there go a tornado, lena going to put on a helmet and hoverboard you see Lena out there like that.
Speaker 3:You see just a tornado going crazy and her slow on the hoverboard Like what is she doing?
Speaker 1:Somebody. Just look at she come out hands like this oh shoot, all right. So all right, we come to the end. Y'all um, what do y'all want to leave? Y'all?
Speaker 1:y'all got me listen, my head is light at this point I know, I don't even know what's going on, what, um, some of y'all want to leave with the people, um, today, I think we kind of left it with him at the beginning, but I'm gonna going to let one of y'all kick it off with some positive. You know, I just say whatever y'all want to say, go get this.
Speaker 3:I'll start off the end. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, let's just be more positive. I'm sick of seeing all this negative stuff. We woke up, we were blessed. You woke up. The best thing that could have possibly happened happened. Your day is not gonna get any better than that, that is. The best thing you're gonna ask for is that your eyes open and you can experience this heat and experience a hurricane, and experience a tornado and get bit by an animal. You're good bro, it's not that serious, all right, thank you, like and subscribe.
Speaker 1:Do you?
Speaker 3:He take a bit by animal. Alina was amazing today too, agreed. So let's just. I just want to point that out too, and if anybody has something negative to say, I just don't want to see it. Don't say it. I don't want to see none of those comments. She was amazing today, today, and she deserves to be told that and made to feel that way, and I'm sick of it.
Speaker 2:I'm sick of y'all.
Speaker 1:Oh, you haven't seen that mangoes in the fridge. And when he heard the people saying something negative, he, like only I can say something negative about Lena. I don't know what to?
Speaker 2:I'm the only one that could bully her, no one else.
Speaker 1:Y'all don't come do that, don't do that, not in my house. Y'all can say about me all you want, but we, we ride over here bad boys for life I don't care if her toes are long.
Speaker 3:Okay, you don't get to say nothing about her long toes. I'm sick of it, all right are you done? Yeah, my bad, my bad, my bad.
