Ever caught yourself apologizing for something that's just... well, you? That's precisely where this heart-to-heart kicks off, with yours truly eating a slice of humble pie for any accent insensitivity. But as the conversation unfolds, you'll witness a surprising celebration of my Southern drawl, complete with chuckles and a newfound embrace of my roots. Then, we spice things up with an update on my co-host's blooming nail business venture and how tackling new challenges is shaping our personal growth.
Curiosity hits the gas pedal when we explore the quirky crossroads of race car sponsorships and gender-targeted marketing. Could press-on nails be the secret stocking stuffer for our male listeners? Stay tuned as we share stories that might just convince you. And in a heartfelt shift, we reminisce on the rare gems of common courtesy, from neighborly waves to open doors, sparking a shared yearning for those friendly gestures that seem to have slipped through society's fingers.
Wrapping up, we spill the beans on our least favorite jobs—because who hasn't had a gig they'd rather forget? Plus, we throw in a round of random questions guaranteed to get you laughing and second-guessing life's little oddities. And before we say goodbye, prepare for a vent session on the trials of Walmart pickup, followed by a hearty recommendation for a gripping Netflix doc. No guests, just us, and a conversation packed with insight and a touch of the unexpected—it's a ride you won't want to miss!

So I'd like to start off this episode by apologizing to all of our British brothers and sisters, saying that I have a hard time with their accent. I did some reflecting after listening to our last episode and realized that I may or may not have a bad country accent. So I've been insensitive and have lost countless hours of sleep this past week, and I hate listening to myself on the playback. It's bad.
Speaker 2You have not lost any sleep. Well, that part might not be true, but and you're not a softy, so I don't normally apologize for much if anything.
Speaker 1But I thought that would be a nice kind gesture because I did have a conversation with a friend of mine that we were talking about this and they said it might be a good idea if you did apologize, because apparently I am kind of country.
Speaker 2So you're apologizing for being country? No, I'm just saying is that. I get likes and follows from my country accent, so I'm going to talk it proud.
Speaker 1And loud apparently.
Speaker 2I'm loud and proud.
Speaker 1Yeah, but yours is cute and you're a female and that's fine, but me I'm just an old buddy duddy Sticking the mud. So I just thought I'd put that out there Because I did really start thinking about that. You know I'm talking about somebody else's accent and I realize you know everybody that listens to me. Well, if you're everywhere but the south, if you listen to me you're like boy he is country.
Speaker 1Oh, and we got our two dogs in here again, so I'm going to apologize ahead of time if you hear them, but surely not because they're leaving.
Speaker 2How about we say hello to the people? Instead of you just came on strong.
Speaker 1Well, I had to get that off my chest. Hey, we appreciate y'all listening. We really do. You know, we've had some really good stuff these last two episodes. I don't care what they say.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Good feedback.
Speaker 2Said I need to talk more, said you need to hush it.
Speaker 1Well, that's fine with me, because I'm tired of leading this thing.
Speaker 2You're the leader. Well, it's fine, it's your idea.
Speaker 1Leading, but it's like you know, I'm like exhausted at the end of every episode.
Speaker 2You know 36, 37 minutes and then you go to bed and you sleep.
Speaker 1Yeah, because I'm exhausted. So, so I'm hoping that this episode right here you prove me wrong, that you like get after it this time. And by the way, I want to, since I'm on this apology tour. I would like to apologize that our last two episodes I haven't had it dialed in just perfect on the audio, so I'm recording this a little bit different.
Speaker 1We had a little bit of I don't know what you call it, but we mean you both talk to the same time a little bit of distortion or whatever. So I'm recording a little bit different this time, so I hope this one turns out.
Speaker 2Stop being Mr Sensitive.
Speaker 1I know that's three apologies in five minutes, so but yeah, but yeah, hey, we do. We really do appreciate you listening and yeah, so what you got, you got anything.
Speaker 2I don't got anything.
Speaker 1You don't got nothing at all. Here we go again. Here we go again.
Speaker 2I just have to sit here a minute and think.
Speaker 1I've gave you all week, all week all week.
Speaker 2It's just Thursday, so it's not all week since our last recording.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna stay up tonight to listen to Joe Biden. You'll get political for a second, because I'm from apologetic to now.
Speaker 2You're going to get political and you're going to get heated in a minute, and then you're going to go on a tyrant. No you just tyrant, tyrant, tyrant.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're saying it different. I didn't correct you last time because I like to listen to you talk, because you don't do a whole lot of it on the podcast.
Speaker 2How do you say it Tyrate? No, it's not a tyrate Tyrate.
Speaker 1I know it's a rant Tyrant.
Speaker 2Tyrant, but I don't think tyrant is it? I don't know what it is. What is it?
Speaker 1I don't know, but Ask. Google. You might need to edit this part out to show our stupidity. We don't. We don't edit anything, so we ain't got nothing to hide. No, because I just want to see if he makes it all the way through the speech or not. I hope he does. I really do Well, and I have I'll be on a zoom call.
Speaker 2Well, that's fine With my state of the union.
Speaker 1And I'll probably be in the bed so, but I'll try and stay up.
Speaker 2Since I've been been on this challenge, on this push thing with my nail business.
Speaker 1Well, go ahead and kind of go over that one more time about what do you do?
Speaker 2So I sell press on nails.
Speaker 1Just like a part time thing. Part time gig.
Speaker 2It's going, it's going to go full time. I feel it, I feel it.
Speaker 1I'd explain it.
Speaker 2I'm going to go to, so we're trying to reach this. It's called an incentive trip and it's to Indianapolis.
Speaker 1You're going to Indianapolis? Yeah, I'm going. This is the first time.
Speaker 2I know my bad. I got the two trips mixed up. It's not the first. You've heard about it. I've asked you. The incentive trip is to Panama, and then the other trip, the girls weekend trip, is to Indianapolis.
Speaker 1Panama.
Speaker 2No, I Panama, florida, not Panama City, beach, panama, wherever that is.
Speaker 1Where's Panama? Okay, we'll just leave that alone. Go ahead, I think you're going to do that.
Speaker 2People's been saying that.
Speaker 2That's why I said it like that because, everybody thinks you're talking about Panama City Beach, anyway. So this week I got to lead what's called the push challenge and you talk about stepping out of my comfort zone. So it's challenges. You give these people, these ladies that's on my team and and they go do these things, or you give, like today I suggested a podcast from Kristen I think her last name is Kristen boss and it was just like a motivational podcast. So I mean, like you, just you just pump each other up and you coach each other and you do these challenges and it's been really challenging for me this week.
Speaker 1So it's all about motivation. Is that all you're?
Speaker 2No, I mean it's not all about motivations, about sales. I mean you're trying to get sales to win these. Right now. I just hit level four and if I get to level six I have a free trip to Panama. I'm not going to make that, but it's OK. My first year really trying. I think four is pretty good.
Speaker 1I would say so, not not having a clue anything you're talking about. It sounds like you're really getting after it. So what is? It's red aspen.
Speaker 2Red aspen press on nails. I know most people think that's crazy, but I'm saving money. I'm not spending $1670.
Speaker 1All right, not that I care anything about. Press on nails Nothing. Since you're doing it, I support you.
Speaker 2You made my room for me.
Speaker 1That's right, I did my video room. Hey, and let me say I might have to put a picture out there for this thing, because we did. What is that greenery that we put on there?
Speaker 2I don't know. It's just like a grass wall.
Speaker 1Well, it looks like a grass wall, but it's, it's 12 by 12 pieces of yeah, probably more like 16 by 16 or 14 by 14.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's a little bit bigger.
Speaker 1But yeah it's. It's probably six or eight foot wide and six foot tall and it's up against the wall. And then we got signs.
Speaker 2One says nails and one says beauty and one says nails. And then you built me a shelf.
Speaker 1No, actually hold on with the with the signs. I actually installed them backwards.
Speaker 2Oh yes, so you're, looking at it as backwards.
Speaker 1Yeah when you take your video now video in front of it.
Speaker 2It looks right.
Speaker 1Yeah, it Corrects, it.
Speaker 2Yeah, I guess people see it that way. You know, we took a picture the other day and that and it wouldn't right.
Speaker 1But when?
Speaker 2people are looking at my video, it's right.
Speaker 1Yeah, okay. Yeah, you're right, the way I did it was wrong. I mean if you take a selfie in front of it.
Speaker 2It does not, but if your video and the signs are where you can read them.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2Yeah, okay, and you are a guest drawer.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, that's right, I didn't make an appearance. I'm gonna be a little so one of my lives. That's right, I drew a name. It's a famous hand, oh and and, by the way on that. So you had one of the Ladies that's name was in there, her name. She sent you a comment that you said her name wrong, so if you will spell the name out before you say it, I can't remember what the name was. Now, do you remember?
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, let me just look it up. I know how to spell it and I'm pretty sure I know how to say it. Yeah we know how to say it, but she said that I said it wrong and I need to know how you say this name If I'm not saying it right and I guess with my accent.
Speaker 2Maybe the accent, maybe the accent but, I, there's no other way I worked with a lady and her name is spelled this exact way and I said it the same way as I said the name of the lady I worked with. I spell it, so you spell it R-H-O-N-D-A All right, can I say it?
Speaker 1I say it's Rhonda and that's what I say and then she sends you a comment and says that you said her name wrong.
Speaker 2Okay, so now she's put on here. She said I was teasing you. You said Vivian instead of Rhonda. So she was kidnapped and she was kidnapped the whole time and I hadn't even seen the comment.
Speaker 1Oh my goodness. So when I pulled the winner.
Speaker 2The winner's name was Vivian.
Speaker 1Yeah, she said you said my name wrong. And you made a big deal about it make a big deal about it actually called me back in there to talk about it.
Speaker 2I said she said I said her name wrong.
Speaker 1So we're trying to figure out what is up with this lady?
Speaker 2How do you say it?
Speaker 1Yeah, so my goodness. Well, how about that?
Speaker 2Thanks Facebook. I didn't even get a notification that I had that comment on there. So yeah, miss Vivian won my drawing and y'all, she is the sweetest lady. She was probably my first customer from Tik Tok and she is an 80 year old little sweet lady and she's been my customer for over a year. That's good and she won, so I'm glad she won it. She's the sweetest little thing.
Speaker 1So these next day I go in to get a manicure that you spend 60, 70 dollars for these right here, you put them on yourself and they last the first time I wore them, I got 11 day wear out of them.
Speaker 2So yeah, I don't wear them that long anymore.
Speaker 1So that's, I'm gonna change them all the time. 11 days is good 11 days is awesome. Hmm.
Speaker 2You can get more than that but you can reuse them. So I can reuse them. Okay, I'm glad you're learning this stuff. See, I can talk this stuff all day long, I know, I'm just. I'm sure nobody on here listening cares about these but if you do you hit me up? Okay, I'm all over social media.
Speaker 1Well, what I'm trying to get to is we need Some advertisement and I'm just trying to think of, ahead, ahead, because of red aspen, red aspen, one sponsor, is that be cool? I don't know I do have a lady.
Speaker 2I've seen a lady. She's not on my, my team, but they have a race car and it has red aspen on it and the Her little girl. Well, she's not a little girl, but her daughter wears a Suit, a racing suit or whatever, and it has the red aspen on it. So I would think she would have to be sponsored to be able to use that name, right? Yeah, it's just a women. I just women owned company. It's three ladies that went to school.
Lost Art of Common Courtesy
Speaker 1Two of them are sisters that On the company and they started it from the ground. I thought you were talking about the race car thing and other like no, it was three is three women, that just sounds kind of weird for me to have. There's a red aspen would advertise on a race car.
Speaker 2Yeah, so I mean. So there's hope for there. My body hope, yeah, there's hope.
Speaker 1Because I was thinking 63% of our listening audience is male. So I'm thinking, well, red aspen nails ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2But they, they need. They need gifts for their wives, though.
Speaker 1Yeah, I.
Speaker 2Can? I can make them a wish list and a card.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I mean, it's easy.
Speaker 1You will get back. You know, let it go a little while and we'll get back to that and keep everybody.
Speaker 2No, as I sit here with no nails on.
Speaker 1Yeah, I think this is the first time I've seen you with no nails.
Speaker 2That's cuz I'm going live later.
Speaker 1Yeah, I've got a question, hearing a little bit about nails by the way, I've got some questions to ask you.
Speaker 2I know I didn't prepare you for this, but I just thought I kind of you're about to hear it is about to go down because, yeah, he, he kept on me all week long. Get you some questions. Get you some questions. I don't want any questions.
Speaker 1Hmm. Well, I thought it might be something interesting to do, but you know then you.
Speaker 2Well, I did and you didn't like my question.
Speaker 1No, you, you just come in every lie. All right, what are we gonna talk about here? I am trying to prepare things and you just come in here and like whatever, whatever, cuz that's how I wear them, whatever. Hmm.
Speaker 2Well, what are you ranting about this week? Let's get this over with.
Speaker 1What am I ranting about? Well, there's so many things. Where do you want me to start?
Speaker 2It don't matter, I'm sure you're gonna start with that crazy job you have. Oh no, I'm not going there.
Speaker 1My crazy job.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1I don't have a crazy job. I have a wonderful job. I love my job.
Speaker 2Hmm.
Speaker 1Saw the white truck again, by the way, oh my gosh, the white truck, the last two mornings part in a different spot, took another video because I was stopped so I could get a better, and I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna put the video out there. No, you're not gonna do that, I'm not gonna put like a license plate or anything like that no. I'm just trying to let people know what I'm seeing you just talk about it's fine, hmm. Alright, so I don't know. Common courtesy, where is it at?
Speaker 2There is none.
Speaker 1It's gone.
Speaker 2It gone Out of here.
Speaker 1When did we lose it?
Speaker 2Oh, we lost that a long time ago. You think so?
Speaker 1Yes, so no one holds doors open for anybody anymore. No, I had-.
Speaker 2You know my thing about holding doors open. I'll stand there If we're all three together. I will stand there till Nicholas opens the door. Yeah, if you get to the door before If I get to the door before and he'll stand there and then he'll finally realize oh, I need to open the door.
Speaker 1And there's nothing wrong with that. Would you stand in there waiting Because he needs to learn? All young people need to learn. Go ahead and open that coke up.
Speaker 2That's alright, open my coke, make it there you go.
Speaker 1Is that cherry coke? Yeah, but anyway. So yeah, nobody opens up the door, at least I don't, hardly ever see it. Not many people say thank you anymore. Have you noticed that? I think being in the south it helps out a lot, because we're more appreciative of things. I would say, not that everybody else isn't, but I think we show it maybe a little bit more. You know, waving at each other going down the road, I remember all the time when- you wave at people all the time and nobody will wave at you Nobody will wave back.
Speaker 1There used to be, alright, the Toyota Tundra community. It used to be. When you passed another Tundra, you always got the wave, always. That's gone. It doesn't happen anymore to me, so I try to keep it alive, but it's not happening.
Speaker 2No, now they replace that with the Jeep. Does the duck thing?
Speaker 1You know, I don't know the back story with the ducks and the Jeep and stuff like that, but I will tell you this I would just about call any Jeep owner a liar if they say they hadn't put their own duck in their window. I know they've had to put at least one duck in their own window, making it seem like somebody else put that duck in there.
Speaker 2You think so?
Speaker 1I think so.
Speaker 2Probably.
Speaker 1That's what I would do, because if I went somewhere and I found a good looking duck at a store, where do you find these little ducks at?
Speaker 2Is there a the T-Moe?
Speaker 1Is that what it is?
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Okay, but yeah, that's.
Speaker 2The Amazon.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't understand the duck thing. I don't. Everybody else, I'm sure, knows what it is, but I don't know.
Speaker 2I don't know, alright, what else you got.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2What you writing on.
Speaker 1Saying hello as you pass by people and they just look at you like you're crazy.
Speaker 2I don't say it first, but if somebody says it to me I'll say hello.
Speaker 1But if you say it to Nicholas, Well, I think any teenager or young adult, a lot of them have more of like a grunt than anything.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Or like hey, hey, hey, it's become a lost art. It's a thing that's going to be, a thing in the past.
Speaker 2It's gone and maybe you're not talking courtesy. Maybe it's politeness instead of courtesy with all these.
Speaker 1It's the same thing. Is it the same thing? Yeah, it's the exact same thing when you ask Google. No, you don't have to ask it, because you can just ask me and I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 2Jody is Google.
Speaker 1But you know, you're not born with good manners. No, no. How do you get good manners? You're taught it. Somebody's got to teach it to you. It's molded into you, don't you believe that?
Speaker 2Well.
Speaker 1And you generally want to have to do it right.
Speaker 2How is this? Because when Nicholas was younger he had manners and now he doesn't. So it don't matter if you teach him or not. They're going to do what they want to do.
Speaker 1I think as you get out you just kind of lose it like you just do your own thing.
Speaker 2But he did.
Speaker 1It used to be very good at saying yes sir, yes ma'am, no ma'am, no sir. The door thing? Well, I don't really know about the door thing.
Speaker 2No, the door thing has never been Right.
Speaker 1But he's a fella. A few words You're not going to get a whole lot of them out, a whole lot of words out of him. But he used to say that, but now I think it would really it would hurt him to say yes, sir.
Speaker 2I think so.
Speaker 1I think so. I think he does it just so we know he's not saying it. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I think you generally, if you want to be nice, you're going to be nice, and I think there's just people that just don't think about it.
Speaker 2I just want to stay in my little bubble.
Speaker 1Is that what you're saying people want to do, or that's what you want to do?
Speaker 2That's what I want to do.
Speaker 1You know I can't even get Santa Claus neighbor to wave at me.
Speaker 2You know what I'm talking about. He was at me all the time. I know he was at you all the time. I mean they'd wave at me.
Speaker 1But not to me.
Speaker 2Sorry I don't understand.
Speaker 1I mean right at the mailbox be pulling in.
Speaker 2Santa.
Speaker 1Claus neighbor pulling out, and I've got the hand up saying hello and I'm just like, like I'm not even there.
Speaker 2It's because you're mean Anyway, we're not getting on that subject, but anyway yeah if I had feelings, they'd be hurt, but you don't have feelings.
Speaker 1No, not when it comes to something like that. Well, that's, that's all I'm going to rant about. I can keep going, but I don't want to. I don't want to get too deep. If we're talking about the government, we'd go. We need talking about the government.
Speaker 2You can have your own little thing about the government later. I don't care nothing about the government.
Speaker 1Well, I mean, you know that's what I have you for. What about the government? Yeah, I have to keep you informed.
Speaker 2I know about everything because I know nothing Well about the government Well, and it's not well.
Speaker 1it's that because you use me as a crutch when it comes to that, so you just don't watch it intentionally.
Speaker 2No, I don't. Yeah, If I need to know it, you'll tell me. So like I don't need to hear all that mess.
Speaker 1Right. So like when I'm getting closer each day to buying that Patriot supply bucket of food, that four week supply, oh my Lord, yeah, when you say that we pull the trigger on that, then you're going to know something's up, he must know something. Some kind of conspiracy theories got him going.
Speaker 2Okay, we're not doing that, I know. I'm just saying I'm getting closer and closer to getting that bucket, you know they got a deal right now going.
Speaker 1I'm just saying you know what I'm thinking sometimes when I mention these names. I'm like, should I even say some of these companies names or whatever? But then in the back of my head I'm like if I mention it and for some reason I'm thinking it'll get back to them.
Speaker 2They might be like hey you mean like my new glasses I have on right now are from Pear, I'll wear you go ahead. I love these glasses.
Speaker 1Explain them to everybody.
Speaker 2So they're. They're glasses and they have magnets on the front of them, up in the corner, and you can take on and off the little. It's called a little. I don't really know what this is called. It's like a little frame and it's just on the front of it and you just take it on and off and you buy different, different little magnet frames.
Speaker 1It's really thin.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's really really thin. And it just like snaps on and it just comes on and off, and so I can get a pair of sunglasses and they'll go on there, or I can get like the ones I have now, or like black and white leopard, you can get some Easter ones. It just changes the look of your glasses so you don't have the same glasses all the time. I'm all about some color and some all different kinds of seasonal stuff. If you know me, you know I love my seasonal t-shirts.
Speaker 1So you could change the look of your glasses to match your nails too.
Speaker 2Yep, oh, how'd you talk about that? That's right. You done messed up now.
Speaker 1Mm-hmm. So yeah, I keep talking up this advertisement stuff.
Speaker 2We just gonna keep throwing it out there.
Speaker 1I'm waiting, but until then I won't talk about it anymore. All right, I've got you done. I'm done ranting. I don't want to bring everybody down Every time I do this, I just get on my little tyrant, tyrate, tyrant, tyrant.
Speaker 2Whatever you said, I don't know what I said.
Speaker 1Rant. I just called a rant.
Speaker 2Rant. All right, Stop ranting.
Speaker 1So I'm gonna ask you some questions. Oh Lord, Are you?
Speaker 2ready, you say. I say that all the time too.
Speaker 1Yeah, you do, we should stop.
Speaker 2I think I've said it a lot four times.
Speaker 1So what is the worst job you can think of?
Speaker 2That I've had, or just I can think of.
Speaker 1Let's say both. Let's say the worst job you've had, and then maybe the worst job you've had.
Speaker 2The worst job I had was I don't know if it was the worst, okay, the worst job or the worst people you weren't with, or like.
Speaker 1Can I just say something? It doesn't matter, just.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1You can say this was the worst job because of these people.
Speaker 2I wouldn't be so I started out as the as a mail carrier at the hospital and I liked that job. You were walking all around the hospital and delivering mail from department to department and that was fine. But then they done away with the Dern Mail Room and I had to drive a stupid golf cart oh that's right, because you had that job, I had the job and then they wanted you switched, and then they wanted to do the golf cart.
Speaker 2I had to drive that thing in rain, in the freezing cold, in the burning up hot and what you did?
Speaker 1was you just picked up? I just picked up people.
Speaker 2Nobody wanted to walk. We have a small hospital and it's not the parking lot, is not that far from the hospital, and people would look at you and they would say what you think I'm too old, I can't walk to the front door. I'd be like I'm just there's that courtesy thing, I'm just trying to be nice, yeah, you just wanna ride? Yeah, and you know what happened when I was in the car. I was doing the golf cart thing.
Speaker 1Surprised me.
Speaker 2That was 9-11. Cause I had the. I remember I had this little handheld TV. That's when I had that job.
Speaker 1Do we wanna? Hey, wait, that's a good segue. No, let's stay on that, I was gonna say, I could tell you where I was at on it, but you wanna do that another time?
Worst Jobs and Random Questions
Speaker 2We'll do that another time. Yeah, but I had this little handheld TV that one of the guys one of the maintenance guys gave me, cause he's like I know you hate it out there, so he just he didn't give it to me, let me use it. Yeah and yeah, but that's probably my. That's the worst job, but that's the people weren't bad to work for, that was just. I did not like that job at all.
Speaker 1So what do you think would be like the worst job? If you could just think of something off the top of your head. I'll tell you what I think.
Speaker 2I don't know Cleaning something, cause I don't like to clean. Cleaning grease traps in restaurants and stuff, yeah, yeah, they're big and nasty. Yeah.
Speaker 1Well, that's kind of kind of on the lines of what I.
Speaker 2Oh, deceptic, tank cleaning. Oh yeah, let's not go there. Yeah, okay, what's yours?
Speaker 1Mine is the dude that opens up the box. You seen your poop too.
Speaker 2I knew you were gonna say that we had that discussion. What's it?
Speaker 1called the company. You've seen the commercials.
Speaker 2We don't want that ever Kola guard.
Speaker 1Nope Kola guard, that's it.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So you poop in a box and you so anyway, yeah, so if you're working in the lab or in the office and your job is to get the box, cutter out and open up the package.
Speaker 2The lab tech she'll key too.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know, but how is that legal? How can you send that through the mail?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1That don't say it's a bio hazard. Yeah, you know, mom told me not too long ago that her neighbor got in trouble because the garbage man found out her neighbor was putting dog poop in the garbage can or in the trash bags or whatever. And they had like a come apart saying we can't take this to the landfill. I'm like what If you know some of the stuff that I've thrown away that they've taken to?
Speaker 2the landfill.
Speaker 1And then now they're gonna all of a sudden get real specific and you get-.
Speaker 2You can't throw poop in the landfill.
Speaker 1How can you not hide that? I mean, I think I'm pretty good at hiding what I'm gonna throw away. You'll never know what I'm throwing away. So if I was gonna put that in-.
Speaker 2You don't throw away stuff, you burn it.
Speaker 1If it's burnable, I'm burning it.
Speaker 2If it's burnable. Jody is burning it. Yeah, all right. What's your next question?
Speaker 1Uh, let's see.
Speaker 2Oh, on the same lines of that was like I burnt my neck the other day and now it's yucky.
Speaker 1How did you burn it, sorry?
Speaker 2I just jumped from one thing to another. I burn it with a stupid curling iron done. It's bothering me now, but that's okay, let's go All right If you had military secrets-. I can't keep no secret.
Speaker 1And you get caught by the enemy, how much and what kind of torture would it take to make you talk?
Speaker 2Not much, I'm done.
Speaker 1Really.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can't take torture.
Speaker 1Oh, I can't either.
Speaker 2If they was to take and touch Jody's foot, he'd be gone Well that's my thing, you know.
Speaker 1I think I could probably take some torture not much, but if you bring out the tickle fingers or whatever, I'm like talking before you even touch I got him earlier today. You did, you tickle me today, I got him. Yeah, I don't like the surprise attack either.
Speaker 2I did good, I was hugging him and then I went eh tickle tickle.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't like the hurt tip when you try and tickle and it like hurts, like too aggressive. That was you came in I was too aggressive.
Speaker 2You came in a little hot, you like it hot, anyway, anyway.
Speaker 1All right. Next question what percentage of me in you's umbrellas? Now, let me preface this by saying I have a lot of. I've mentioned this before. I have a lot of winter time with my job, so sometimes I'm driving like 45 minutes at a whack and everything, and so I'm thinking-. At a whack At a whack. At least I wasn't waddling this time.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So I think of these things.
Speaker 2Then you put some in the notes of his mom. His mom because you know he's old now you can't remember.
Speaker 1Well, I've got way too many of these, so I just jot them down. So I just the other day I just went through and I picked a few of them out and- 67%, okay, I mean, I don't know, I have no idea. I'm just saying what do you think?
Speaker 2I think men may have them, but they don't use them.
Speaker 1I think that's fair.
Speaker 2I think they probably have them for their wives or lady friends or whatever.
Speaker 1Let's say that how the average household? How many umbrellas do they have? I'm gonna say four between their car and in their house.
Speaker 2Well, we only have two that I know of.
Speaker 1We've had plenty of. We've had like four in a car at one time.
Speaker 2Yeah, we got rid of.
Speaker 1Yeah. I think, I don't do umbrellas, I'll just get rained on Now, if you've got-.
Speaker 2Now if we're at a event and the sun's beaming down, we use an umbrella.
Speaker 1I will use an umbrella in the summertime to keep the sun off me before. I use it to keep the rain off of me. But I think it's also a regional thing, so like if you're in New York not that they get a whole lot of rain or more than we do but I think it's kind of a maybe a social thing, kind of like if you're suit and tie, you know, going to the office, I think you're gonna have an umbrella.
Speaker 1If it's raining, you're not gonna you know something like that. So I think it's very. I don't think there's a big percentage of men that use umbrellas.
Speaker 2I don't think so.
Speaker 1I'm gonna say 5% or less. So maybe I will look that up and we get done. Just I'm not really that interested to you know.
Speaker 2No, but I might look it up.
Speaker 1Okay, all right. So if you didn't have fingernails, would it affect your day to day life? Now why I came up with this question, oh my Lord. So just think about it. Your fingernails are gone. Maybe there's not even a space anymore where there was no, where you just got around and did it.
Speaker 2I don't think it would affect your everyday life. I mean, if you didn't know you, you mean, if you had fingernails like if we weren't even born with fingernails, you wouldn't know about them, then so know, it wouldn't affect you.
Speaker 1Well, yeah, if you've got something and lose it, it's always gonna affect you but if you're born without it you never know about it, so I mean. I think scratching an itch.
Speaker 2Yeah, you can't know, but itch, can you no?
Speaker 1It wouldn't be as effective. I don't think, yeah.
Speaker 2I don't know, but.
Speaker 1I don't know what you'd do Like if you're back-seaching.
Speaker 2I mean, what are they?
Speaker 1for I'm not supposed to protect your little fingertips.
Speaker 2Your fingertips.
Speaker 1Well, I guess, yeah, something, I don't know, Could you still pick your nose? If you didn't have a fair enough, you could dig up in there, but I don't know if you'd be as effective on that either.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1I'm just. You probably couldn't open up stuff as easy.
Speaker 2Maybe not.
Speaker 1You know stuff that you use your finger to dig into to get it started the pop-top can you have to use your knife? Pop-top can.
Speaker 2Yeah. You talking about like Pringles, like that kind of no, the Spaghetti-O can and stuff.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you couldn't do that. Probably couldn't do that Like your beer, really. Yeah, like Friday night, you wouldn't be able to open them up anymore.
Speaker 2Were you telling on me?
Speaker 1now no, all right so.
Speaker 2Are we still in the question and answer?
Speaker 1Yeah, this will be the last question for this round till next time, but this is, this is, I'd say, a loaded question, all right, so just don't comment until I'm done, okay, and when I'm done I'm just going to sit back, but All right.
Speaker 2He's about to get me riled up.
Speaker 1Where does your gas needle have to be before you get gas, or Hear me out, or how far will you let it go?
Speaker 2And.
Speaker 1I'm going to just sit back and try to understand the explanation you're about to give me. Go ahead, you're a turd. I'll be over here if you need me.
Speaker 2Right now I have 21 miles to go. My little dinger goes off at 52 miles. Last time before I got gas it cut off and didn't tell me after I had 17 miles left. But I only worked three miles away from work. I'm only three miles away from work, you're three miles away from work.
Speaker 1Yeah, so that's six miles.
Speaker 2No, that's 12 miles a day, isn't it? There I come home for lunch, that's six. There, that's six. So that's 12 miles a day. So I might get to 17 is the lowest I've been. Then I get nervous, then I get nervous. If I had a good husband. He'd fill up my car every Sunday when we go to church. He'd say, come on over here, let's go fill up your car.
Speaker 1Well, first of all, we'd have to leave at the same time, and that never happens, because we always have to take separate vehicles.
Speaker 2You're right, we never get to go to church together.
Speaker 1No, we don't and you'd have to remind me, but I'll say this I do remind you. I'll say this, which I'll actually have to be driving your car tomorrow evening because we've got to go somewhere.
Speaker 2I plan that just right.
Speaker 1And I have it, but it's going to be during raining. I have a feeling, yeah, every time I get in there, that stupid gas light is on and that needle is like I don't know how it's propped up, it's so low Almost every time.
Speaker 2It's got 20 something miles right now.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2So I knew you was driving tomorrow, so I wasn't worried about it.
Speaker 1But is that? Is that I don't go? Is that what you do, though? Is that like? All right? You wait till the light comes on and you've got 51 miles?
Speaker 2or whatever.
Speaker 1Most of the time. So you're just waiting and you're like all right, I'm still good for three days.
Speaker 2Unless I know it's going to be really cold and I need it soon, I'll go ahead and get it.
Speaker 1So there's never a time when you've got like a quarter of a tank and say you know what? I'm just going to go ahead and fill up.
Speaker 2No, I don't want to spend that money right there and I spent it on something else.
Speaker 1I don't understand.
Speaker 2You fill your car up every day.
Speaker 1Because I have to.
Speaker 2You use that. You use those Murphy rewards all the time I do. I like it, I would never have any rewards because I'll never fill my car up. I put 20, I put $20 in. It gives me 200 miles and I can last for two weeks on $20. Because I take the other 20 and buy a shirt, buy some nails on my back I could buy nails.
Speaker 1I paid $1.73 the other day per gallon for 20 gallons because I'd saved up my point so much at Murphy, so I mentioned Murphy again. But anyway, all right, so I guess you didn't really answer that question very good. I'm hoping that you'll change your tactics when it comes to getting gas.
Speaker 2But when my husband starts getting my gas I'll let him know when I'm in a half a tank and he can get my gas.
Speaker 1All right, so I hate getting gas.
Speaker 2I don't know, there's just something about it that's probably my. I just hate going and getting gas.
Speaker 1All right, so what'd we eat tonight?
Speaker 2I had chicken, I had leftover chicken.
Speaker 1Chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, would you?
Speaker 2Chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1All right. Me and Nicholas had lasagna. I love lasagna.
Speaker 2And it's about gone.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's good. I'm going to go get another helping when we get done here. I'll just let everybody have a chance at it.
Speaker 2So Once again I have to have two different things because I don't like what they like. Yeah, that's good, they like all that.
Speaker 1You can't go wrong with throwing the biggest tray of lasagna you can find in the oven.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's not homemade.
Speaker 1And then, three hours later, it seems like it's done.
Speaker 2But why homemade it when it's already made? You just take it out of the freezer for a day, because that stuff is froze solid.
Speaker 1But you know you buy it and it seems like it's like $14 a pop Just for like.
Speaker 2I know it's not that much but it's same, it is, is it? It is? I think this one was $12 and something but you think by the time you buy hamburger meat.
Speaker 1Thanks, Joe Biden.
Speaker 2You buy noodles, you buy your seasonings, you buy your cheeses. Oh yeah, you're there at 14. So why would I buy all the ingredients when somebody's already bought it and made it for me? All I got to do is pop it in the oven.
Speaker 1It is. We've gotten to that tipping point to where, depending on the size of your family you know it really realistically you could probably go out to eat or get fast food and not spend as much money, or right at the same as if you fixed a meal at the house. I think personally.
Speaker 2Me and you can. Yeah, but when you throw him in there you want four hamburgers at $6 a pop.
Speaker 1It's gotten so ridiculous. So I mean, when you get three or four bags of groceries wherever you go, and it's $60, $80, and you're like this is not, this is nothing, this ain't even getting us through the week, this ain't even if just as a few meals and a few snacks.
Walmart Pickup and Netflix Recommendations
Speaker 2Oh, talking about getting groceries, I don't think I talked about this last week, no, because I just got groceries Monday, so I go back. I always do grocery pickup because I hate going in Walmart, I hate the grocery side.
Speaker 1So you get it pick up at Walmart so.
Speaker 2I do grocery pick up at Walmart. I get home and, okay, we always order. We always get water and Gatorades every week. That's about a necessity.
Speaker 1The Sony. Yeah, because you can't have, I get home.
Speaker 2Those heavy things are on top of my. We had chips, we had noodles, I have. What else did I have in there that it was on top of? I didn't buy bread this week Something, oh, little Debbie snacks. It was on top of that. Everything was crushed. But then you look right here, when you first open the back of the car, and there's a can. There's a jar of Alfredo sauce, there's some spaghetti sauce and there's. There was one more thing about remember was it wasn't even in a bag. It wasn't even in a bag, she just said it in there. There was not an empty bag in the car, so it's not like it fell out of a bag, she just said it in there, like in no bag. This where common sense comes back in and they don't know how to now you're getting me wound up.
Speaker 2Maybe you know you try and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1Maybe it like in their carts or whatever it came out of the bag. And she just like said, or maybe it split, maybe that bag did split in their little cart thing. And so she's like I don't know, I'm trying, but yeah, you did take a picture and you showed me, but I had like three bags that didn't have but one thing in there.
Speaker 2you're wasting. Well, they do, and then they'll take a can of spaghetti sauce and put in with your bread. I mean, you go smush my bread.
Speaker 1You will get 20 bags with 20 items. One item per bag. It's really crazy how they do it.
Speaker 2Let me get off that rant. Sorry, I got a sidetracked.
Speaker 1I know I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2Jody hates Walmart pickup. Jody hates Walmart pickup and drive-thrus. He would rather go in than go through the drive-thrus. And I'm total opposite. When we go through the drive-thru, I have to lean over and order because he will not order.
Speaker 1All right back to Walmart for a second. Okay, all right, I know what I want, but I also want to kind of choose. So let me get in, get my bug and go down the aisle and look.
Speaker 2But I picked the same thing.
Speaker 1when I do that, but if you go down there, oh, there's a new item, oh, there's something I didn't think, oh, they got a different size or I spent more money. Well, either way, you know it's called impulse items or impulse shopping. You see, something that you might want to impulse buy. Well, there's nothing wrong with that, so let me impulse buy.
Speaker 2I'd rather do that on Amazon or T-Move Well.
Speaker 1I'll never do the online shopping thing.
Speaker 2And I actually went with you one time to pick it up and that was a flip-in nightmare. Yeah, I'm like, just go with me.
Speaker 1Yeah so yeah, no problem, we'll get there. Waited like an hour in the parking space. Yeah, and remember, we watch people pull in in the parking lot beside us and go in and shop.
Speaker 2Go in and come out. That makes me so mad too, Okay.
Speaker 1But the whole drive-thru thing. Yeah, I hate drive-thrus and it's nothing wrong with the drive-thru. I just get a little anxious and I feel like you know I've got a hurry, you know I get up there and they're like you know, can I take your order? But the thing is I've been with people before Like when you get up to, we got four separate orders and then goofball in the back seat don't want onions.
Speaker 2Right, and one of them wants extra. He doesn't like his food anyway. He don't like pickles.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I'll say I'll get them off.
Speaker 1Somebody wants a shake, but they don't want it shaking as much as normal, or they don't want as much ice cream in it. Somebody wants fries, but they don't want any salt on them. I'm like this is ridiculous. So park the car, go inside, get your separate orders and then get out.
Speaker 2But we're not like that.
Speaker 1We don't do those no but everybody just needs to learn. Just order it and pick off what you don't want or add to. We're very often All right, I got to be what we watch on Netflix.
Speaker 2I got to be done, I got to go.
Speaker 1We got time for Netflix.
Speaker 2Do a zoom call.
Speaker 1All right, Real quick. Netflix we watched American conspiracy. It's the octopus murders. It's about the reporter that supposedly I don't know. Can you, I don't know if you can say suicide on this, but I just did. But they beep, yeah. But they think he was actually murdered by the government. He was getting in too close, he was, he was starting to connect some dots and all this stuff. And you, when you?
Speaker 2follow. He likes these documentaries.
Speaker 1Well, you get in there and you start thinking oh, my goodness, how you know. I thought there was some corruption going on, but this is like, and it was cool, they call it the octopus murders.
Speaker 2So on the picture of the for the movie or for the series or whatever, they have the like twine, like what is that? That yarn or whatever? And it's drawn out to where it's stuff goes here to here to here.
Speaker 1And then it turns out it looks like an octopus.
Speaker 2Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1But then as the further you get into it, then it starts kind of changing. Your start thinking well, you find out, some of these stories weren't true and it's really a conspiracy theory. And then when they wrap things up at the end you're back to where. No, it's just there's so much corruption going on. This dude probably did get killed. It's pretty good, though I don't want to really ruin that. That's not ruining anything, oh all right, the tourist.
Speaker 1Do you remember that one? I think it's a. They're in Australia. The guy has a wreck he lost his memory.
Speaker 2He lost his memory.
Speaker 1He's trying to figure things out and it's kind of slow.
Speaker 2Yeah, you gotta stay with it, yeah.
Speaker 1We didn't watch all this this week by the way. Yeah, this has been the last several weeks and we're just piecing this stuff together. We don't get a chance to watch a whole lot, and then, uh, crisselda.
Speaker 2Did we finish that one?
Speaker 1No, it's the lady that she. She's a drug dealer. And she gets kind of powerful and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2Yeah, you didn't like it, I didn't like it. I liked it, yeah, but I never. I've seen several people say they like it.
Speaker 1I think I started episode three and then didn't get far into it.
Speaker 2All right. Well, I hate that. Amanda has to leave. I have to leave Because.
Speaker 1I've got so much more to talk about, but let's hold it till next time, yeah. So, like I said, we do appreciate y'all listening and, uh, every Monday that's when it happens.
Speaker 2Every Monday, we're out there.
Speaker 1All right, so we'll see y'all next Monday, see y'all on the flip side and, like I said, everything anything we talk about and we got pictures or videos to go along with it, we'll post it on our social media. We're on all the platforms out there. We've got two more platforms. We just got on that that for podcasts. So just about anywhere you go, you're going to accept YouTube. That's pretty much the only place that we're not. But same thing on social media TikTok, facebook, instagram, what else?
Speaker 1That's about all that's about it All right, thank y'all.
Speaker 2See you next week. Bye.
