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 2:You 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 1:But 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 2:So 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 1:And loud apparently.
Speaker 2:I'm loud and proud.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 1:Oh, 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 2:How about we say hello to the people? Instead of you just came on strong.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Good feedback.
Speaker 2:Said I need to talk more, said you need to hush it.
Speaker 1:Well, that's fine with me, because I'm tired of leading this thing.
Speaker 2:You're the leader. Well, it's fine, it's your idea.
Speaker 1:Leading, but it's like you know, I'm like exhausted at the end of every episode.
Speaker 2:You know 36, 37 minutes and then you go to bed and you sleep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 1:We 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 2:Stop being Mr Sensitive.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I don't got anything.
Speaker 1:You don't got nothing at all. Here we go again. Here we go again.
Speaker 2:I just have to sit here a minute and think.
Speaker 1:I've gave you all week, all week all week.
Speaker 2:It's just Thursday, so it's not all week since our last recording.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:You'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 1:Yeah, 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 2:How do you say it Tyrate? No, it's not a tyrate Tyrate.
Speaker 1:I know it's a rant Tyrant.
Speaker 2:Tyrant, but I don't think tyrant is it? I don't know what it is. What is it?
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Well, that's fine With my state of the union.
Speaker 1:And I'll probably be in the bed so, but I'll try and stay up.
Speaker 2:Since I've been been on this challenge, on this push thing with my nail business.
Speaker 1:Well, go ahead and kind of go over that one more time about what do you do?
Speaker 2:So I sell press on nails.
Speaker 1:Just like a part time thing. Part time gig.
Speaker 2:It's going, it's going to go full time. I feel it, I feel it.
Speaker 1:I'd explain it.
Speaker 2:I'm going to go to, so we're trying to reach this. It's called an incentive trip and it's to Indianapolis.
Speaker 1:You're going to Indianapolis? Yeah, I'm going. This is the first time.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:Panama.
Speaker 2:No, I Panama, florida, not Panama City, beach, panama, wherever that is.
Speaker 1:Where's Panama? Okay, we'll just leave that alone. Go ahead, I think you're going to do that.
Speaker 2:People's been saying that.
Speaker 2:That'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 1:So it's all about motivation. Is that all you're?
Speaker 2:No, 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 1:I 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 2:Red aspen press on nails. I know most people think that's crazy, but I'm saving money. I'm not spending $1670.
Speaker 1:All right, not that I care anything about. Press on nails Nothing. Since you're doing it, I support you.
Speaker 2:You made my room for me.
Speaker 1:That'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 2:I don't know. It's just like a grass wall.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:Yeah, that's a little bit bigger.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:One says nails and one says beauty and one says nails. And then you built me a shelf.
Speaker 1:No, actually hold on with the with the signs. I actually installed them backwards.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, so you're, looking at it as backwards.
Speaker 1:Yeah when you take your video now video in front of it.
Speaker 2:It looks right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it Corrects, it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess people see it that way. You know, we took a picture the other day and that and it wouldn't right.
Speaker 1:But when?
Speaker 2:people are looking at my video, it's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay. Yeah, you're right, the way I did it was wrong. I mean if you take a selfie in front of it.
Speaker 2:It does not, but if your video and the signs are where you can read them.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, and you are a guest drawer.
Speaker 1:Oh 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 2:Yeah, 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 2:Maybe 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 1:I 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 2:Okay, 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 1:Oh my goodness. So when I pulled the winner.
Speaker 2:The winner's name was Vivian.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:I said she said I said her name wrong.
Speaker 1:So we're trying to figure out what is up with this lady?
Speaker 2:How do you say it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so my goodness. Well, how about that?
Speaker 2:Thanks 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 1:So 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 2:So yeah, I don't wear them that long anymore.
Speaker 1:So that's, I'm gonna change them all the time. 11 days is good 11 days is awesome. Hmm.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:Well, 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 2:I'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.
Speaker 1:Two 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 2:Yeah, so I mean. So there's hope for there. My body hope, yeah, there's hope.
Speaker 1:Because I was thinking 63% of our listening audience is male. So I'm thinking, well, red aspen nails ain't gonna work.
Speaker 2:But they, they need. They need gifts for their wives, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I.
Speaker 2:Can? I can make them a wish list and a card.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's easy.
Speaker 1:You will get back. You know, let it go a little while and we'll get back to that and keep everybody.
Speaker 2:No, as I sit here with no nails on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think this is the first time I've seen you with no nails.
Speaker 2:That's cuz I'm going live later.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've got a question, hearing a little bit about nails by the way, I've got some questions to ask you.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:Hmm. Well, I thought it might be something interesting to do, but you know then you.
Speaker 2:Well, I did and you didn't like my question.
Speaker 1:No, 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 2:Well, what are you ranting about this week? Let's get this over with.
Speaker 1:What am I ranting about? Well, there's so many things. Where do you want me to start?
Speaker 2:It don't matter, I'm sure you're gonna start with that crazy job you have. Oh no, I'm not going there.
Speaker 1:My crazy job.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't have a crazy job. I have a wonderful job. I love my job.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Saw 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 2:There is none.
Speaker 1:It's gone.
Speaker 2:It gone Out of here.
Speaker 1:When did we lose it?
Speaker 2:Oh, we lost that a long time ago. You think so?
Speaker 1:Yes, so no one holds doors open for anybody anymore. No, I had-.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:And 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 2:That's alright, open my coke, make it there you go.
Speaker 1:Is 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 1:There 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 2:No, now they replace that with the Jeep. Does the duck thing?
Speaker 1:You 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 2:You think so?
Speaker 1:I think so.
Speaker 2:Probably.
Speaker 1:That'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 2:Is there a the T-Moe?
Speaker 1:Is that what it is?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, but yeah, that's.
Speaker 2:The Amazon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:I don't know, alright, what else you got.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:What you writing on.
Speaker 1:Saying hello as you pass by people and they just look at you like you're crazy.
Speaker 2:I don't say it first, but if somebody says it to me I'll say hello.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Or 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 2:It's gone and maybe you're not talking courtesy. Maybe it's politeness instead of courtesy with all these.
Speaker 1:It'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 2:Jody is Google.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:Well.
Speaker 1:And you generally want to have to do it right.
Speaker 2:How 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 1:I think as you get out you just kind of lose it like you just do your own thing.
Speaker 2:But he did.
Speaker 1:It 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 2:No, the door thing has never been Right.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:I think so.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I just want to stay in my little bubble.
Speaker 1:Is that what you're saying people want to do, or that's what you want to do?
Speaker 2:That's what I want to do.
Speaker 1:You know I can't even get Santa Claus neighbor to wave at me.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:But not to me.
Speaker 2:Sorry I don't understand.
Speaker 1:I mean right at the mailbox be pulling in.
Speaker 2:Santa.
Speaker 1:Claus neighbor pulling out, and I've got the hand up saying hello and I'm just like, like I'm not even there.
Speaker 2:It'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 1:No, 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 2:You can have your own little thing about the government later. I don't care nothing about the government.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, you know that's what I have you for. What about the government? Yeah, I have to keep you informed.
Speaker 2:I know about everything because I know nothing Well about the government Well, and it's not well.
Speaker 1:it's that because you use me as a crutch when it comes to that, so you just don't watch it intentionally.
Speaker 2:No, 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 1:Right. 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 2:Okay, 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 1:I'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 2:They 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 1:Explain them to everybody.
Speaker 2:So 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 1:It's really thin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:So you could change the look of your glasses to match your nails too.
Speaker 2:Yep, oh, how'd you talk about that? That's right. You done messed up now.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. So yeah, I keep talking up this advertisement stuff.
Speaker 2:We just gonna keep throwing it out there.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:Whatever you said, I don't know what I said.
Speaker 1:Rant. I just called a rant.
Speaker 2:Rant. All right, Stop ranting.
Speaker 1:So I'm gonna ask you some questions. Oh Lord, Are you?
Speaker 2:ready, you say. I say that all the time too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you do, we should stop.
Speaker 2:I think I've said it a lot four times.
Speaker 1:So what is the worst job you can think of?
Speaker 2:That I've had, or just I can think of.
Speaker 1:Let's say both. Let's say the worst job you've had, and then maybe the worst job you've had.
Speaker 2:The 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 1:Can I just say something? It doesn't matter, just.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:You can say this was the worst job because of these people.
Speaker 2:I 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 2:I had to drive that thing in rain, in the freezing cold, in the burning up hot and what you did?
Speaker 1:was you just picked up? I just picked up people.
Speaker 2:Nobody 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 1:Surprised me.
Speaker 2:That was 9-11. Cause I had the. I remember I had this little handheld TV. That's when I had that job.
Speaker 1:Do 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?
Speaker 2:We'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 1:So 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 2:I 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 1:Well, that's kind of kind of on the lines of what I.
Speaker 2:Oh, deceptic, tank cleaning. Oh yeah, let's not go there. Yeah, okay, what's yours?
Speaker 1:Mine is the dude that opens up the box. You seen your poop too.
Speaker 2:I knew you were gonna say that we had that discussion. What's it?
Speaker 1:called the company. You've seen the commercials.
Speaker 2:We don't want that ever Kola guard.
Speaker 1:Nope Kola guard, that's it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:The lab tech she'll key too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, but how is that legal? How can you send that through the mail?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:That 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 2:the landfill.
Speaker 1:And then now they're gonna all of a sudden get real specific and you get-.
Speaker 2:You can't throw poop in the landfill.
Speaker 1:How 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 2:You don't throw away stuff, you burn it.
Speaker 1:If it's burnable, I'm burning it.
Speaker 2:If it's burnable. Jody is burning it. Yeah, all right. What's your next question?
Speaker 1:Uh, let's see.
Speaker 2:Oh, on the same lines of that was like I burnt my neck the other day and now it's yucky.
Speaker 1:How did you burn it, sorry?
Speaker 2:I 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 1:And you get caught by the enemy, how much and what kind of torture would it take to make you talk?
Speaker 2:Not much, I'm done.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't take torture.
Speaker 1:Oh, I can't either.
Speaker 2:If they was to take and touch Jody's foot, he'd be gone Well that's my thing, you know.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I did good, I was hugging him and then I went eh tickle tickle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:You came in a little hot, you like it hot, anyway, anyway.
Speaker 1:All 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 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I think of these things.
Speaker 2:Then you put some in the notes of his mom. His mom because you know he's old now you can't remember.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:I think men may have them, but they don't use them.
Speaker 1:I think that's fair.
Speaker 2:I think they probably have them for their wives or lady friends or whatever.
Speaker 1:Let'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 2:Well, we only have two that I know of.
Speaker 1:We've had plenty of. We've had like four in a car at one time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we got rid of.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I think, I don't do umbrellas, I'll just get rained on Now, if you've got-.
Speaker 2:Now if we're at a event and the sun's beaming down, we use an umbrella.
Speaker 1:I 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 1:If 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 2:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:No, but I might look it up.
Speaker 1:Okay, 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 2:I 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 1:Well, 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 2:Yeah, you can't know, but itch, can you no?
Speaker 1:It wouldn't be as effective. I don't think, yeah.
Speaker 2:I don't know, but.
Speaker 1:I don't know what you'd do Like if you're back-seaching.
Speaker 2:I mean, what are they?
Speaker 1:for I'm not supposed to protect your little fingertips.
Speaker 2:Your fingertips.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:Really.
Speaker 1:I'm just. You probably couldn't open up stuff as easy.
Speaker 2:Maybe not.
Speaker 1:You 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 2:Yeah. You talking about like Pringles, like that kind of no, the Spaghetti-O can and stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh, 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 2:Were you telling on me?
Speaker 1:now no, all right so.
Speaker 2:Are we still in the question and answer?
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:He's about to get me riled up.
Speaker 1:Where does your gas needle have to be before you get gas, or Hear me out, or how far will you let it go?
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:Right 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 1:Yeah, so that's six miles.
Speaker 2:No, 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 1:Well, 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 2:You're right, we never get to go to church together.
Speaker 1:No, 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 2:I plan that just right.
Speaker 1:And 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 2:It's got 20 something miles right now.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So I knew you was driving tomorrow, so I wasn't worried about it.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:or whatever.
Speaker 1:Most of the time. So you're just waiting and you're like all right, I'm still good for three days.
Speaker 2:Unless I know it's going to be really cold and I need it soon, I'll go ahead and get it.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:No, I don't want to spend that money right there and I spent it on something else.
Speaker 1:I don't understand.
Speaker 2:You fill your car up every day.
Speaker 1:Because I have to.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:I 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 2:But 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 1:All right, so I hate getting gas.
Speaker 2:I don't know, there's just something about it that's probably my. I just hate going and getting gas.
Speaker 1:All right, so what'd we eat tonight?
Speaker 2:I had chicken, I had leftover chicken.
Speaker 1:Chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, would you?
Speaker 2:Chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1:All right. Me and Nicholas had lasagna. I love lasagna.
Speaker 2:And it's about gone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:So 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 1:You can't go wrong with throwing the biggest tray of lasagna you can find in the oven.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not homemade.
Speaker 1:And then, three hours later, it seems like it's done.
Speaker 2:But 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 1:But you know you buy it and it seems like it's like $14 a pop Just for like.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:Thanks, Joe Biden.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:It 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 2:Me and you can. Yeah, but when you throw him in there you want four hamburgers at $6 a pop.
Speaker 1:It'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.
Speaker 2:Oh, 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 1:So you get it pick up at Walmart so.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:The Sony. Yeah, because you can't have, I get home.
Speaker 2:Those 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 2:Maybe you know you try and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1:Maybe 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 2:you'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 1:You will get 20 bags with 20 items. One item per bag. It's really crazy how they do it.
Speaker 2:Let me get off that rant. Sorry, I got a sidetracked.
Speaker 1:I know I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2:Jody 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 1:All 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 2:But I picked the same thing.
Speaker 1:when 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 2:I'd rather do that on Amazon or T-Move Well.
Speaker 1:I'll never do the online shopping thing.
Speaker 2:And 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 1:Yeah 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 2:Go in and come out. That makes me so mad too, Okay.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:Right, and one of them wants extra. He doesn't like his food anyway. He don't like pickles.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'll say I'll get them off.
Speaker 1:Somebody 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 2:But we're not like that.
Speaker 1:We 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 2:I got to be done, I got to go.
Speaker 1:We got time for Netflix.
Speaker 2:Do a zoom call.
Speaker 1:All 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 2:follow. He likes these documentaries.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:So 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 1:And then it turns out it looks like an octopus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1:But 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 1:Do you remember that one? I think it's a. They're in Australia. The guy has a wreck he lost his memory.
Speaker 2:He lost his memory.
Speaker 1:He's trying to figure things out and it's kind of slow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you gotta stay with it, yeah.
Speaker 1:We 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 2:Did we finish that one?
Speaker 1:No, it's the lady that she. She's a drug dealer. And she gets kind of powerful and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:I think I started episode three and then didn't get far into it.
Speaker 2:All right. Well, I hate that. Amanda has to leave. I have to leave Because.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:Every Monday, we're out there.
Speaker 1:All 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 1:That's about all that's about it All right, thank y'all.
Speaker 2:See you next week. Bye.
