Speaker 1:

So you're over there, all curled up on the couch again.

Speaker 2:

I curled up tonight.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm stretched out tonight, stretched out Watching the dog do circles in its bed about to fall out.

Speaker 1:

We got our two dogs in here this time. We got a little chihuahua. We brought her bed in here and she is just digging the bottom of that bed, just doing circles. It ain't going to get no better. Coco, Don't look at me like that. You got Winston right there. He's just like whatever.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, I sniffed about the dog.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly, so if you hear anything, hopefully not there he is.

Speaker 2:

Princesses though oh sorry, winston's not.

Speaker 1:

Winston's, not a princess, but so the last episode where we talked about Amanda's snake bite, I posted the picture of the snake on all of our social media accounts, so anytime we have pictures associated with something that we're talking about, we'll put them out for you to see them. So just look for this, that and the other, and you should find it, and we've got a lot of good feedback about the last episode, so that's good, and I believe you said we have a good idea for a possible sponsor.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and when I was in Misty she said we need to get Rubbermaid to sponsor us, since we're using totes all the time.

Speaker 1:

You know that's a good idea. Yeah, I can. You know, I can say Rubbermaid, I can put a sticker on my truck, whatever if they feel free to sponsor us. I'll carry a tote everywhere if they want to sponsor us.

Speaker 2:

I carry a tote everywhere.

Speaker 1:

You do, you're right, you're right. You know, should have one with survival stuff in it. So I think we should change the name of the pod to tote talk.

Speaker 2:

Do you think about that?

Speaker 1:

And then that hip I caught at the pod. You know another thing now that you abbreviate everything, that what the young people do, they abbreviate all these words. Now.

Speaker 2:

I guess, you guess.

Speaker 1:

Imagine that. All right. So we've started abbreviating words and now everybody wants to use the words like toxic and triggered. So I got so aggravated at this podcast that I always listen to and you're not going to believe this. It's, of course, a true crime murder podcast, you know, and the episode was from the 1830s I think it was 1838, and it's the Comanche Indians. All right, they attacked a homestead or as a farm or something like that, and they killed five of the men that was on the farm and they took two women, I think it was, I want to say hostage, kidnapped them I guess that's what they'd call them, and it was like three kids they took with them. All right. So they had them in the lady. She was four months pregnant when they kidnapped her. All right, when time goes by, she gives birth, they take the baby, they tie it behind a horse and drag it through a field of cactuses.

Speaker 1:

Now how terrible was that? That's horrible, it's terrible, all right. So about 20 minutes later, on this same podcast, they put a trigger warning in for anyone that is affected by animal abuse, because a stupid horse got shot and killed during a shootout.

Speaker 2:

Same story, but yet nothing about the baby being drugged.

Speaker 1:

That's my point. That's my point.

Speaker 2:

Can you believe that Crazy?

Speaker 1:

It is, and it just burned me up so I turned it off. Of course. I mean it makes no sense, no sense whatsoever.

Speaker 2:

You just need to quit listening to podcasts.

Speaker 1:

Well, but a baby being drugged behind a horse, that's supposed to be okay. Oh, anyone listening right now? Trigger warning, there's a horse about to die, so anyway. So I guess I got triggered, so I turned it off.

Speaker 2:

Well, I get triggered every day.

Speaker 1:

So I guess it's a good thing I don't cuss, because I'd be cussing right now, right at cuss today. But you know, if I did that, you know the funny thing about that is I'd have to put a stupid explicit content warning on this episode. That's aggravating. So you got to reel this thing back in.

Speaker 2:

Are you just on a tie rant tonight? Hold on Everything that just makes you. Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 1:

but I'm not finished.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Unless you, if you can hold me back.

Speaker 2:

No, go, you're on a rant tonight. Let's hear the rant.

Speaker 1:

Well, the thing about it is is Christmas decorations.

Speaker 2:

You getting older. You're ranting all the time. Here we go.

Speaker 1:

What is? How hard is it? What's the date? Can somebody tell me? Anyway, it's, we're in March. All right, I don't want to throw anybody under the bus. I hope I don't have any friends out that are still have their Christmas decorations out. I'm not trying to hurt their feelings, but but we have a neighbor that had sandy claws blown up six foot tall, waving at you on the side of the drive till February 16th.

Speaker 2:

You know the date.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, cause I watched every day. I'm like surely, surely, that thing's going to be gone, but no, and then on the 16th he finally got unplugged and he laid on the ground for two days After I posted about it two or three times. You did. You did so I maybe because you're posts. He saw it and he did, I don't know. But what does he still got?

Speaker 2:

A mailbox Christmas swag.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's some kind of.

Speaker 2:

Greenery, it's a mailbox swag.

Speaker 1:

Like a wreath type thing. I don't know what that is Swag.

Speaker 2:

Just goes on your mailbox.

Speaker 1:

A swag, but I don't get it. Christmas lights they're a hassle to put up, I do it every year. They're a hassle to get down, I get it. And if you can't get it, you know, get them down before the first year, that's fine. I'll give you a weekend to January, right? What do you think?

Speaker 2:

Two weeks. Two weeks. First weekend in January you party in cause. It's a new year.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like it Two weeks yeah.

Speaker 2:

I guess it depends on how it falls.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but surely the goodness.

Speaker 2:

Two weeks you need to be done.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's aggravating. So you leave them up. I get it. Yes, we get it. Great had schooling, but if they're still up, right now, why don't you just turn them off? Well, yeah, but I don't understand the year-round Christmas lights. I mean, I see them. You know they're drooping down because they've been up there for 10 years on some people's houses, but whatever. But just like last, To reach their own.

Speaker 1:

That's right. That's right, that is right. I like that, bring it. So last week I was at a gas station and a truck pulls in, a Ford truck nice truck pulls in and he's got a Rudolph red nose on the grill of this truck and I'm like buddy, it might not be Rudolph, it could be a clown, what he might be?

Speaker 2:

a member of the circus, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

That makes no sense. You know what it is.

Speaker 2:

Clown nose.

Speaker 1:

But how can you not take that off? He forgot. How hard is it? Well, I almost went over and took it off for him. But that's how I feel about Christmas decorations. I mean, come on, people, as a society we have gotten so lazy. But if don't put them up, if you're not going to take them down I mean the inside he had a Christmas tree up till the first week of February, second week of February, I don't know. Christmas lights go lower two months after Christmas. I guess, for each their own, you say I don't know For each their own.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I do like a Christmas tree. I mean, if you just got solid white light, I love the light off of it. Turning the lights off in the house and all that stuff.

Speaker 2:

One year we had a solid white Christmas tree. We didn't even put decorations on it, that's right. We just left it.

Speaker 1:

I think it would have taken away from the tree if we had put decorations, I mean the year, that's weird we're like.

Speaker 2:

I just like it when no decorations.

Speaker 1:

And then we put the greenery on the yeah On the.

Speaker 2:

We didn't have anything else, but we left the decorations off the tree.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I'm talking about on the mantle and had lights wrapped on it yeah. And so if you don't have anything on except the Christmas tree, I mean it's really, I mean makes you feel good.

Speaker 2:

Let's go, put it back up, let's go.

Speaker 1:

All right, we're going to cut this thing off. I'm going to go get back up in the attic.

Speaker 2:

No, it ain't in the attic.

Speaker 1:

Well, you're right.

Speaker 2:

You don't have to climb a ladder.

Speaker 1:

Everything else is up in the attic.

Speaker 2:

Well, we're not getting everything else, just the Christmas tree.

Speaker 1:

If I ever build a house I will have off to the side of, like, the living room, wherever the tree is going to be. I'm going to have the tree on rollers and you can roll that baby right into that closet that I'm going to have built, slide it in there, close the door. You'll never even know it's there. That's what I would do, but anyway.

Speaker 2:

Are you done ranting now? We moved to some house.

Speaker 1:

I do feel better, I do feel better.

Speaker 2:

Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest, mr Birthday Boy.

Speaker 1:

That's right, I just had a birthday. How old? 48. 50.

Speaker 2:

Oh.

Speaker 1:

No I bet 48.

Speaker 2:

What did you get for your birthday?

Speaker 1:

Hard time as usual, just like I'm getting right now.

Speaker 2:

Really OK, I'll give you that one.

Speaker 1:

I got two pairs of hay dudes, so I was really excited about that. I needed some new shoes, so I'm at that age. I'll take just about anything, as long as it doesn't have Velcro and it's not plain white.

Speaker 2:

I think you might be talking on half your birthday present too.

Speaker 1:

Oh, this podcast, huh, yeah, yeah. Happy birthday to me.

Speaker 2:

You're hired you coming to the choir Sunday.

Speaker 1:

Oh no.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, that's OK. Coming to the choir.

Speaker 1:

So yes, my birthday was on the second, and the funny thing is it's not my birthday yet when we're recording this. We're just acting like it, is it?

Speaker 2:

does already have its present.

Speaker 1:

I do, I do, and I'm just going to say I had a great birthday. I'm sure I will, surely right.

Speaker 2:

Who knows?

Speaker 1:

So I saw. I see this same truck, but this convenient store.

Speaker 2:

Oh, so you're still ranting.

Speaker 1:

No, this ain't a rant. This is just something that I observed because I watch people.

Speaker 2:

OK.

Speaker 1:

So this is the four mornings in a row I've seen it. It's this older model white truck and I don't know how you see out the window, out the sides, I mean, it is just like I guess it's all. Can you be a hoarder if you live in your truck? This person lives in their truck.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 1:

What? Is there a different classification, or are you called something different?

Speaker 2:

I mean, you don't got nowhere to put all this stuff.

Speaker 1:

There's no doubt about that. I don't know. You couldn't fit. This person can barely just squeeze in the driver seat. I don't know. If a cop saw you, Well, they probably wouldn't do anything just because they don't want to fool with you. But there is no way that that's safe because you can't see out the passenger side. You can't see out half of the window. It is really amazing. I actually took a video of it. You know me and my video.

Speaker 2:

You and your videos, yeah, Well, I couldn't believe. You and your dash cam yeah.

Speaker 1:

So it's in a different parking place every day. So that's four days in a row and it's in a different parking place. And I just started thinking. You know, that person's got to be living in that truck, Wouldn't you think?

Speaker 2:

I mean, maybe I mean.

Speaker 1:

So let me ask you this so if you owned that convenience store or a convenience store, would you let them stay there, like what this person's doing right now?

Speaker 2:

Maybe if they weren't hurting anybody, if they wouldn't, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

It probably depends on, like, if this is a chain store, they probably have some kind of policy about no overnight parking or whatever like that, and they probably run them off. But I'd let them, you know.

Speaker 2:

I mean, as long as they're not hurting anybody and not like begging for anything, I think I would let them.

Speaker 1:

I think so. I mean I'd be like just don't park right at the front door. Yeah, don't harass people, or anything like that. I mean nothing wrong, but I don't really know why they would be staying there. But you know, I don't want them coming in and blowing up in my bathroom and some of them walking in there and their naked washing up in the sink.

Speaker 2:

Well, I have an Oat Knot.

Speaker 1:

Because that could happen, don't you think? Well, maybe they didn't lock the door and you open up that thing and there they are with their underwear in the sink washing it up, washing their face, hello, and that reminds me of a story.

Speaker 2:

Oh Lord, you and your stories you got them.

Speaker 1:

Well, this happened. Did I tell you? Probably not. This happened a few weeks ago at a Walmart bathroom. So I'm going into the bathroom. I mean you don't have these. There's not a door. You just kind of walk in. You know you got a wall. You kind of walk around and I came around that wall.

Speaker 2:

Oh.

Speaker 1:

Lord, all I saw was butt cheeks. Oh, really. So yeah, I was like what in the world? And there's a guy and I guess he's in his 80s standing at the urinal and his pants are on the floor.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you did tell me this.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and so I'm like so he's exposed. I'm like looking, and I'm like what do I do? What do I look? So I was gonna go to the spot right beside him. But now I'm trained on the stalls, so I'm kind of walking by him and guess what they're all taken. So now I'm like I'm obligated, now right.

Speaker 2:

Let's get back to him.

Speaker 1:

I'm obligated, yeah, I guess. So I get right beside him and everything. I'd walk out. Well, I should have, because I'm like I'm putting myself in a bad situation, but he's got a mask on of course, one of those and so you can't understand what they say. You know he's talking like that, but the old man boys.

Speaker 2:

Because the government told him to wear the mask?

Speaker 1:

Maybe so, but apparently the government didn't tell him to wear a belt.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I, don't know, let's not get you on the government. Let's not do that.

Speaker 1:

No, we can stay here all night talking about that. So he's talking and I hear just, he's just cussing and he's talking about, you know, pants on him. You know couldn't keep his pants up and I can see that he's looking at me. He's turned and looked at me and I'm just thinking to myself at some point is he going to ask me to help him?

Speaker 2:

Oh Lord.

Speaker 1:

You know. So I'm like, I'm mentally, I'm trying to get myself prepared for this.

Speaker 2:

You can't prepare for that.

Speaker 1:

Well, I wasn't prepared when I walked in, you know I'm sure not prepared if he asked me. So I just sat like I didn't hear anything, see nothing. And so he he's pulling his pants up I can just hear it and I can tell and he's like waddles by behind Waddles.

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I don't know why. I said well, he's whatever he's doing. I don't know. I'm not looking, but he's behind me and he's not walking like Joe Biden, you know something like that. He's not. Yeah, he's waddling. He's not taking long strides, so I'm assuming that he's working on getting his pants. He's behind me and he's worried. I'm getting his pants up, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Jay, you need to hurry up and turn this story.

Speaker 1:

But I mean well, yeah, well, he's walking by, he's not like turned, so of course he doesn't wash his hands. You know One of those too. So but yeah, but then after that I started thinking I've got another story back in the old days at a previous job, when I was a manager at a retailer and this store. We were a training store for management, so we had manager trainees coming in there and they'd, you know, stay, I don't remember how long, it was like an eight week period or 12 weeks or something like that and so they call a manager to the service desk, as far as I can remember, or either the operator, the fitting room, they had a radio and they radioed us anyway. So we had to go to the men's bathroom up front, or I did, and I took this trainee with me and we got in there. And here we go again. There's an old man in there and he's in the back stall and apparently we got called in there to help him button and zip his pants.

Speaker 2:

Really, why are you telling this?

Speaker 1:

I don't know because I swore to my dying day that I'd never tell anybody this. And it's not that it's that bad.

Speaker 2:

But now you're telling the whole world.

Speaker 1:

You got to help a guy out right. Really, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I guess you did.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but it happened, took care of it and then, as we're walking out, of there. I don't remember if he watered, I might have been doing the watering out there shaking my head, but I did tell that trainee. I said it didn't go any further than this right here, what we just did, well good.

Speaker 2:

Let's change the subject, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So memories, nothing like a good memory. But back to the whole convenience store thing. I was thinking what about hitchhikers? I don't do hitchhikers. You wouldn't be a hitchhiker or you wouldn't pick up a hitchhiker.

Speaker 2:

Neither.

Speaker 1:

And the only reason I'm thinking of this is because at that same convenience store I picked up a hitchhiker one time yeah, you've lost your mind and they had to go to. They needed to go to Tuscaloosa. Well, I'm sorry I'm not taking Tuscaloosa, but I took them all the way down to Oatman, 25 minutes or whatever from where I was at. So I was thinking here we go, I can witness to them on the way and all this kind of stuff. So he gets in the truck and throws this big old duffel bag in the back of the truck and oh my goodness, did he smell and I wasn't prepared for that.

Speaker 1:

But so I tried to witness to him talking about Jesus and he knows Jesus he's saving all this. He just counted, you know, real quick. I was like done. I was like well, okay, and. But the whole time I didn't realize I was gonna be have this anxiety about. I think I had my hand clenched like in the fist the whole time and I was looking at him out of the corner of my eye Cause I was thinking at any time this dude can just like come at me.

Speaker 1:

But like I know and I'm like what am I?

Speaker 2:

You didn't tell your wife where you was.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'm not gonna give me a call and ask permission.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, cause I'm gonna take snow.

Speaker 1:

Hey, I got this guy that he needs a ride. You can lay me on the phone. Can I have permission? What are you gonna do?

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna call the Pope Pope the 911.

Speaker 1:

So when you hear me screaming, yeah, that's gonna help me.

Speaker 2:

And then I'm gonna say mash the record button, video it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I made it down there. You know he didn't even say thank you. I would at least thought I could have got to thank you out of that. So that kind of made me mad.

Speaker 1:

You and your stories, I know I've had a bunch of them, but I don't you know. That's the thing about Nicholas. You know, when we had Sunday school and the teacher that he had at the time, when I was sitting in there with him, he would say and the guy's name's Eric, he would say Mr Eric has all these great stories and you don't have any stories. And I'm like I don't think you know, and I've told him some stories in the past. He's like you've never told me. That that's you know. I just don't think of you know it's getting. My memory has gotta be jogged, just like these last few things right here that I never thought I'd talk about. But I don't think about it, but anyway. So it's out there. Not that I feel better that I told you. I do feel better about talking about the Christmas stuff and the lights and all the Santa Claus being gone.

Speaker 2:

I'm glad you got that out of the shed.

Speaker 1:

The Santa Claus was gonna have a BB through him eventually, every day.

Speaker 2:

He went down one day.

Speaker 1:

The wind took him down and I don't know why you take the time to set him back up. If you're gonna set him back up and it's after Christmas why don't you just go ahead and unplug them or rip them out of the ground whatever, throw them in the car? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Let's get back off and say, no, I don't understand, I don't get it. We done so. Now let's talk about this thing that I have got you in. What?

Speaker 1:

have you got me in?

Speaker 2:

So it's probably back last year when I started seeing this on TikTok.

Speaker 1:

No, there's your problem right there. See, I've been out of the TikTok game until I started when I put this on social media and I went ahead and got another TikTok account and I remember now why I got off of it, because Can't you? Go down and rap out. Oh my goodness, you just can't get out of it.

Speaker 2:

So, anyway, I'd forgotten about this, and then I started doing it and it was so funny and then I finally told Jodie what I was doing. So what it is is the wife, or it can be the husband, I mean whichever, it doesn't matter, but you just take-.

Speaker 1:

I think this is a normal thing, though for women.

Speaker 2:

I think it is, but go ahead. I think it is, but they made it a game on TikTok. It was funny. So you just take and just hand your husband something and every time he will take it. And so the last couple of weeks I've been doing that and Jodie will take whatever I'm handing him and he'll take it and do something with it. And so I finally told him the other day and what I was doing.

Speaker 1:

But it's like we'll just be talking.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we'd just be talking, Sid, you could do it.

Speaker 1:

You could, literally right now, lean up and hand me something and I'm gonna take it.

Speaker 2:

He'll take it and.

Speaker 1:

I won't think nothing about it and I probably wouldn't even realize I'm doing it.

Speaker 2:

You don't.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's funny. Y'all should try it.

Speaker 1:

I think it's some kind of subconscious thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. I mean it didn't matter what it was either.

Speaker 1:

And then we were in the kitchen and you handed me something the other day and I took it right when I grabbed it on the hold. I wouldn't even bring it in the day. I was like is this a game, or are you really handing me?

Speaker 2:

something. Yeah, we don't know if it's the game or if I really want to take it now.

Speaker 1:

Should I trust you anymore. So now it's like the. I'm thinking.

Speaker 2:

That's a trust thing. You don't trust me now.

Speaker 1:

It's like mind tricks. I'm like is she up to something?

Speaker 2:

But it's funny. Y'all should try it. Just hand it to somebody and see if they'll just take it.

Speaker 1:

How many times have you got me today? I don't know. Maybe none, maybe five, I don't know. Have you handed me anything today?

Speaker 2:

I don't think I did yet. You probably did. I played in there when I got done eating.

Speaker 1:

Now I will tell you this. A couple of days ago, you tried to hand me something and I was like uh-uh. I'm like, do you want me?

Speaker 2:

to take it.

Speaker 1:

I know, but I'm not playing that game. I was like yeah, since I had it on my mind. I'm like noop, sorry. Y'all should try it. You're gonna make a big deal out of it. I am too, so my hands are tied Now when we hang up.

Speaker 2:

You'll still take it.

Speaker 1:

When we get off this thing.

Speaker 2:

I'll hand in my microphone and I'll hand in my ear what's it called? The headphones. He'll take them. I'll just hand them to him and he'll take them.

Speaker 1:

You could hand me a sock. We could be talking, you could hand me a dirty sock or something like that. I'm just gonna take it and I'll-.

Speaker 2:

It's just funny.

Speaker 1:

Y'all need to try it when we get done talking, I'll be like wow, Y'all need to try it. Why have I got this in my hand?

Speaker 2:

Just see.

Speaker 1:

That is funny.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if it's just something subconscious Like you, just somebody hands you something, you just like, you take it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's not really a game. Now, if you wanna make it a game, just cause you wanna think about it.

Speaker 2:

Well, what they were doing is like on, like the husband would be in the shower and the wife would just walk in there and say, here, hold this honey, and he would take it and hold it. I was in the shower and then, like she would give him two or three things to take and then he would catch on like what the heck are you doing? What the heck? There's my saying what the heck?

Speaker 1:

I say that all the time. So we're gonna have a.

Speaker 2:

I'm gonna have a Session called what the heck and we're gonna go through my what the heck, so I have all day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's gonna be part of the day episodes. So it's crazy, it's not like something I'd say. I say it all the time. Hmm, we hand me this right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Luckily we're not close enough to handy thing.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm just gonna throw it at him.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but if you well, All right, so would we today. What do we tonight? Tonight, yeah, you had Jax what do people know? I eat leftovers, rice and pizza rolls. Okay, what a combination.

Speaker 2:

What a combination. He had rice, because last night I made pizza rolls. I don't eat pizza rolls so I had rotisserie chicken that you put in the air fryer that was good actually and so I wanted rice with it. Then I've done carrots and broccoli, my little protein pack, and so I had a ton of rice left over, because it was a family-sized rice, and I said if I cook this, will you eat it? He's like, yeah, I will. He didn't eat one bite of it. Last night. He ate his pizza rolls with his Heinz 57 on him.

Speaker 1:

Well, you had like a drizzle it on there, but I put a pile on the side.

Speaker 2:

No, you know, you soak it.

Speaker 1:

No, I dip, you dip it, you soak it, you dunk it. If you like Heinz, 57, I must say. And if you like pizza rolls, try it. It's all I gotta say.

Speaker 2:

Do you eat sauce on everything?

Speaker 1:

I know them, but there's nothing right. I'm enhancing the flavor.

Speaker 2:

No, you're not. You're hurting the chef's feelings.

Speaker 1:

See, that doesn't even make sense.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it does, no you shouldn't have to put sauce on it, you should just eat what I cook.

Speaker 1:

Well, let me give you this chef, like if I'm in a restaurant, don't offer me anything. Take the salt, take the pepper away. Don't give me anything like that, because I sure don't want to hurt your chef's feelings.

Speaker 2:

Don't put salt on your food.

Speaker 1:

You have salt.

Speaker 2:

Don't have to have salt.

Speaker 1:

You sure do. But I do, I like salt you've got to have now if you open up to refrigerator there we have ten hundred ketchup's gotta have ketchup.

Speaker 2:

You cannot throw it away if it's got two drops in it. That's right. Oh, it makes me you. I threw one away the other night, didn't know it.

Speaker 1:

I'll be digging in the garden when I fixed your hot dogs.

Speaker 2:

I can't get no more out of it. Oh, then we had tater tots casserole Monday night. I like to do these casseroles where you have leftovers.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, since Nicholas has gotten older, you know last several years, his appetite is like they let you dream fed.

Speaker 2:

You can't keep him full.

Speaker 1:

So when you used to get cooking enough to get by they used to do spaghetti bacon, have it for two nights.

Speaker 2:

Now we can't see.

Speaker 1:

He said all it's just like one so, and then he wants no wine. We don't buy snacks and stuff because he sits and eat it like if we had honey buns He'd eat the whole broth tomorrow in one sitting.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, to the tater tot casserole turn around and that suckers got. I thought was Heinz 57 on it. Oh me, yeah, you. No, he's got the ketchup on the tater. I kind of see that because of the tater tots Maybe like a french fry but it had some seasoning in there and it was good. Like Nicholas, I think Nicholas ate over half of that casserole. I ate one little corner of it and I was gonna go back, and then here he comes, can I have the rest of it?

Speaker 1:

Well, whatever, I guess well, it was good, but you know, the heat sauce on everything.

Speaker 2:

I do everything.

Speaker 1:

There's no tacos.

Speaker 2:

We can't go to Taco Bell. We have to get Taco Bell and come home so he can put Barbecue sauce. He eats barbecue sauce on his tacos.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying, if you've never tried it, try it one time. Socky tacos, he likes some?

Speaker 2:

soggy. I don't Don't like them. No, I'm not kicking them.

Speaker 1:

Now you know what I live by when it comes to food.

Speaker 2:

Quantity over quality.

Speaker 1:

That's right. I don't want to walk away still hungry and I'll give up some good taste Just to have more, and I don't know if I've ever really had anything. That's bad, just to be honest. I mean I've never like walked away. I cannot eat this. This is like horrible. I don't think that's ever happened.

Speaker 2:

Has it? No, you just want to eat it again. If we did have leftovers and you didn't like it, you'll forget your lunch. Oh no, I got your game now. I got your game now. You forget your lunch.

Speaker 1:

No, that's just cuz I forget my lunch and I pay for oh why, cuz you're getting older?

Speaker 2:

No, cuz I've done that for a long time. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm sorry, but when you get up early in the morning, a lot of times I don't think they go to the refrigerator and get food. I'm just trying to get out the door.

Speaker 2:

You should get food. Yeah, make that coffee.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so alright, let's. So. What have we watched lately on Netflix?

Speaker 2:

are we going from food to Netflix?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we'll do that real quick, unless you just want to finish up with food and then we'll get out of here I'm good. So we watched Oppenheimer. I liked it. Yeah long movie long. You didn't watch the whole thing, you kind of was in and out. But that was my kind of movie and don't know I'm not gonna three hour yeah. I'm gonna spoil it for anybody, but they I had no idea they did this guy. The government did this to this guy and that's all I'll say and then we watched the other one.

Speaker 2:

That was oh, we watched Einstein. That's pretty good, I said hi, yeah. The Einstein movie kind of went with it, didn't it?

Speaker 1:

Well, it's a documentary series and there's three Episodes and I've only watched one so far.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, we have finished that way, and finished that, but we watched the one.

Speaker 1:

What is it? It's the social media where the guy Got into these girls.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, he hacked.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and he was like tell their social media Say I got a secret. You know the secret. Is that what?

Speaker 2:

I got a secret that would I know a secret, something about a secret.

Speaker 1:

But he got into the new things about these women like where they was bad, where they were at the time, who they were talking to, and just then he what people do that Like if they would put their.

Speaker 2:

If they know how to do that, they could have an awesome job and have some money and put their talents into something else. That just works me.

Speaker 1:

But he would somehow say, for instance, I go through your social media accounts, I go into your Instagram and I slowly figure out this guy is your dad and then go scroll, scroll, scroll, then I find his name on another post, start putting things together. Then he starts throwing these, these questions at you and putting these names in there. So you're thinking that this person really knows you and he's like hundreds of miles away and you're scared to death. And he was doing this with multiple women and they were all freaking out and it was just a game to him.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and they thought somebody was outside their window waiting to kill him.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean he got. He got into one friend's dad's stuff and started telling the dad that that his daughter's friend liked him and like.

Speaker 1:

Oh so that started.

Speaker 2:

It was like, I think it was flirting with a mic or something and but it was horrible yeah.

Speaker 1:

So it was a boyfriend and girlfriend. I think they're fiance maybe, but he's pulling it. Well, don't listen to a don't listen to people Trigger warning. Well it's. I mean, I really didn't like the way that it was said, yeah you didn't edit, you didn't like the produced, and all that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just, I didn't really like it and it drug out, you know, a lot of things and so I didn't care for what it was. It was interesting to watch it, but he, he would tell lies and get on the boyfriend's social media about the girlfriend cheating on him and backing forward and then, yeah, he ruined these people's lives. It was horrible and nothing was true, you know, and so I don't know. It was crazy, but they said they were, when they caught this guy they were expecting to find computers and cell phones and all this stuff, to where he was, you know, researching and all this. And he just had a cell phone, that's all it was that a router, that's how they called him off of his router.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, his route.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so it's crazy. Yeah, but but it was a British, they had accents.

Speaker 2:

That's all. Do your algorithm on your Netflix. Something about has got on the.

Speaker 1:

British or Netflix. The algorithm is swapping Netflix OK, mine has swapped me to British shows, crime shows. I don't know how I watched, I don't know what it was, but I watched one crime show and it just changed everything and I have to admit that the crime shows that the Brits put on are a little bit better.

Speaker 2:

They're pretty good.

Speaker 1:

Not too bad If you can get past the accent. I hate to say that, I just just accent, I don't. It's hard for me, but the cousin is almost non-existent and a lot of them that we watched, there's a few that's got. Yeah, I wouldn't say heavy cousin, like nudity, is pretty much non-existent.

Speaker 2:

Except the one. What's it British, though Outlander.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, I'm not. Yeah, I'm not Outlander. Was you better be ready to go down that road if you're going to watch outlander?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's all I say.

Speaker 2:

It was good though. Oh, it's good, it's good but we had a fast forward, if you're not prepared for some of the scenes.
