Every week is a new journey, and this time around, we've woven a rich tapestry of tales from the heart of our community straight into your earbuds. We start with a nod to World Down Syndrome Day, celebrating the accomplishments and spirit of those it honors. As we shift gears, you’ll get a taste of the local flavor, from an honest reflection on neighborly waves to a savory crockpot chicken noodles recipe that will leave you hungry for more than just food for thought.
Our encounters are as varied as the topics we tackle—from a gas station meet-up that turns into a moment of faith, to digging into the consequences of a local, fabricated kidnapping story that shook our town. We don't just share news; we share life. The church renovation saga, with its challenges and triumphs, is a testament to our community's resilience. And who can resist the meaty debate over eating ribs in public? Plus, with QR codes taking over, we navigate the tech hurdles with humor, ensuring everyone can keep up in this fast-paced digital world.
Rounding off our episode, we take a stroll down memory lane, recalling the treasure hunts of yesteryear and the astonishing scale of Buc-ee's travel centers. We also ponder the timeless questions of leftover shelf life and the relevance of traditional alarm clocks, all delivered with a wink and a grin.

So I was excited to hear Amanda had some ideas for this week's episode. She liked texting me and she was like you know, not that she was telling me what it was, but she was, it threw the text. I thought I felt some emotion, some excitement from her about this episode. So I kind of excited myself.
Speaker 2:I hadn't seen you that excited in a long time.
Speaker 1:Well, I was like, maybe this, maybe there's a turning point. Something has happened.
Speaker 2:No, it hadn't, Sorry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then when I got home, and then you got home, and then I'm like I didn't see any effort being put forth before we record this. I thought mm. I had high hopes. She's got nothing. Well, I even tried. You even asked something and I like look something up and like shot it to you on the phone and we might go there. I saw you not even look at it. So I'm like, am I just wasting my time?
Speaker 2:Welcome back folks First off go ahead.
Speaker 1:I was, I had something to say, I'm jumping in, go ahead.
Speaker 2:First off, today is World Down Syndrome Day, so I just want to shout out all our friends that have Down Syndrome or have kids that have Down Syndrome. I've started following this Think she's 20, 23, maybe, and she has her own little business. She draws and she puts what she draws. She puts it on shirts. So I wore my Down Syndrome shirt today. So we record on March, the 21st, so 321 is National Down Syndrome Day. So just a shout out to all those people with Down Syndrome we appreciate you and you're special.
Speaker 1:That's right. We have several friends families that have a child with it.
Speaker 2:That's cool.
Speaker 1:But you know what? I could actually start a rant right here.
Speaker 2:No, I know what you're going to say. What was I going to say? You're going to say everything's got to have a day.
Speaker 1:That's right. You know, we dedicate a month to something and then every day is something that's right.
Speaker 2:March is National Women's Month and I ain't got nothing. I don't even get a day off. Imagine that you don't have nothing.
Speaker 1:I don't even get off. Imagine that you don't have anything.
Speaker 1:I have nothing, all right. So the last episode. If you listen to the last episode, I told the story about me getting a ticket which I wasn't going to say anything about it, but of course Amanda has to bring that up. But in the story I said the lady in front of me she was going to turn left, but I misspoke and she was going to turn right. Now that makes a big deal if I'm going to pass somebody that's going to turn left or right.
Speaker 2:She wasn't turning left, she was going to get smacked if she started to turn left.
Speaker 1:That would have been really crazy on my part if I was going to do that, so that just bothered me. When I heard that, I was like, did I really say that?
Speaker 2:You really did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I know I did, but I have evidence so that was bothering me. So now that's out there, I feel better. All right, Let me cover a couple of updates real quick. On the way home, on our road in our neighborhood past two neighbors waved at both of them and I'm over to from getting a wave back. All right so there's my update on that. Happens every day. They wave at you, right?
Speaker 2:Sometimes not all the time. Okay, I've even had more Depends on if I'm flying or not.
Speaker 1:Even when they walk.
Speaker 2:They give me the how you do inside if I'm flying.
Speaker 1:So wind is. Yeah, that's right, because you and Nicholas kind of go a little bit faster. I always tell, especially Nicholas, I say look, if somebody's walking, especially with their dog, slow way down if they got. I mean because this road you can't go. I think the speed limit's 25 or 20 and to me that's really fast on this road, but if you're passing somebody and they're walking it does seem like you're flying if you're doing 25 or 20.
Speaker 2:It does yeah.
Speaker 1:Especially if it's because you don't want their little doggies or whatever. But when is it too early to throw your hand out there and wave? I see some. Maybe I'm guilty of it too, but I see some of them, like you, started to wave at me a long way out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they throw it early. We have a neighbor on our road that throws it early.
Speaker 1:So am I supposed to just like hold the wave all the way through you just?
Speaker 2:hold it there, just do the wave, do the pageant wave.
Speaker 1:I'm not doing that little slow swing back and forth. Do the pageant wave Rotate your palm of your hand and another thing.
Speaker 2:We started the rants early.
Speaker 1:Well, this ain't really. This isn't a rant, oh, it's not. Yeah, but I did see a huge Christmas wreath hanging on someone's house, and you know which one I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:Yep. We see it every day, and it's like Every day.
Speaker 1:This person could reach two feet from their front door and yank that thing off.
Speaker 2:It's a huge wreath, but we're creeping up to April people, that's all I'm saying, and so I was watching a TikTok the other day a live, a TikTok live and this lady started talking about Because you know, when you're doing a TikTok live, you just like want to get people talking to you. So she brought this subject up and I'm like no way she's about to talk about this.
Speaker 2:You're talking about the Christmas lights and she said okay, be honest, who still has Christmas lights or Christmas decorations up? And half the people on there said that they do. They still have their tree up and their lights. And she's like no, y'all don't. And so I had to get on there and tell her that we had this conversation on mine and my husband's podcast two weeks ago, or however. Well, we started it out, didn't we, with that, but I could not believe how many people said they still have some decorations up. It was crazy.
Speaker 1:Would you really admit it if you had your tree up, I don't know Like what?
Speaker 2:Well, like now some of them said they had their tree up. Some of them didn't have decorations on it but they left their tree up. Some of them will put like another holiday on their tree, but they still call it the Christmas tree is up. So I don't know, but I just thought that was funny when she asked that question and then I'm like really Would you call it just like a seasonal tree, if? You're going to swap it out. I guess you could. If you're going to swap it out, call it something else?
Speaker 1:No. Is it different if it's just full blown I haven't taken an ornament off, I've still got the angel on top. I even have the lights on at night sometimes. Or if they've got like three boxes sitting beside it and there's some ornament sitting on their kitchen table where they started a month ago taking it down and that's as far as they got. Is there a difference?
Speaker 2:Sometimes things happen, they can't get to them.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we've done it before. We hadn't been this long.
Speaker 1:A day or two, not a month. Two months. I'm not reliving this, all right.
Speaker 2:Let's go.
Speaker 1:No, I got and I saw a wooden Santa. All right, this is, like I'm going to say, 10 foot tall, but it's a Santa Claus and he's standing on the elf's shoulders and it's leaned up against the chimney on a house. I saw that this week.
Speaker 2:I bet that thing's been there for 10 years. I bet it never comes down.
Speaker 1:Maybe it's a little bit too heavy to deal with, maybe it's a hassle putting it back. Why not leave it? Why not leave it?
Speaker 2:But, like I said, well, you know Santa's watching, so I mean he's still out there, so he's watching you. So I guess, they just leaving it up because Santa's watching.
Speaker 1:But this brings me back to my original statement. If you're going to put it up, you got to take it down.
Speaker 2:They don't.
Speaker 1:If you're not going to take it down, don't put it up. All right, I'll update you all in a month, all right? So one month from today, we'll relive this and see if the and I'll see if those two things are still up, the huge break.
Speaker 2:Well, you better write that down, because you won't remember it. I will remember. Neither one of us will remember.
Speaker 1:I'll remember because it's Christmas and I'm on the lookout for Christmas. Third third thing I've got is the white truck hoarder update. I didn't talk about it last week but I'm still seeing it. But the gas station I go to to get gas almost every morning it's not the one that I, oh my microphone, it's not the one that I see this truck at, but so I'm going and you got to remember this is four o'clock in the morning when I'm, you know, so it's dark and I get to this gas station when I'm willing in to go to my regular spot. That's who's in part at the pump in front of where I'm going to be at.
Speaker 2:The white truck.
Speaker 1:Wow, how'd you know?
Speaker 2:I don't know Cause I kind of led.
Speaker 1:It's a good guess, yeah, it was. So I was like, oh, my goodness. So I'm like, so I you know he's done in there, what the heck. I was like what the heck, can you believe it? I was like this dude, am I stalking him, or is he stalking me, or is it a she? I had no idea, but got my phone out, took a picture just so I can show y'all, if, if Amanda would let me.
Speaker 2:but she won't know we're not going there.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying the back of the truck, the stuff that is hanging out, I have no idea how it's like strategically stuck in there and does not fall now. But anyway, this is my point. So the person I'm not going to save as a man or woman, the person was standing outside the vehicle but was turned to where I couldn't and kind of hunched over like they're looking in the side, you know, side of the door or whatever, or in the floorboard. So I had no idea what this person was, anything like that. So I get out, you know, and I'm doing my thing with, you know, getting the gas starting, and I just kept looking at it and I thought this will be the perfect opportunity for me to maybe say hey, if the person looks at me and if they say hey back, maybe I'm going to strike up a conversation and maybe that could lead me to witnessing to them, you know, or we'll just see how it goes.
Speaker 2:So you like that part about your job.
Speaker 1:I do I do I have this is I have been to so many gas stations there's especially one big one and I would say about once a month, maybe twice a month, I would run into somebody that needed help or the conversation would come up to where I could squeeze Jesus in and I've had some really good conversations with people and so anyway, so this person finally kind of raises up and looks my way and I think here we go. So I said, hey, how you doing? And this person just stared right through me and didn't say a word or anything like that. So I kind of like, well, I guess this is as far as our interaction is going to go.
Speaker 2:That's it, and that was it yeah.
Speaker 1:I just thought that was kind of interesting how I've been talking about this vehicle, and then I had a close encounter. So there's my three updates for what this way? Paulin's, everywhere it's here.
Speaker 2:Yep, I have to take my eyes out as soon as I get home now. Why, cuz they're dry they hurt and they're dry, they hurt. Sinuses yep noses stopped up sneezing all day already.
Speaker 1:Already is it Clarence and time.
Speaker 2:I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1:I don't think I'm quite there yet, but the whole dry thing is definitely here. That and carpenter bees have you seen the carpenter bees?
Speaker 2:They were out about two weeks ago and a Bush that where I work at but everybody know what a carpenter bee is.
Speaker 1:You think everybody out there knows what a carpenter Bee is. It's not a bumblebee, you know, they don't sting you.
Speaker 2:Just drill holes all over your house drill hole.
Speaker 1:If you got wood, they're gonna drill holes in it, and so I saw the more I can kill, the better than my boot.
Speaker 2:We have a tennis racket out there that yeah, you throw your arm out all the time trying to hit them.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I. This was back a long time ago. I just remember my dad growing up. He had a what a bad mitten racket up there in his garage and he would stay up there and one would fly by and he'd ding it with it.
Speaker 2:So is that where you get it from?
Speaker 1:I guess so. So now I've just upgraded to a tennis racket and then we have a walking stick, and the walking stick is if you just think that you're, you know, you just swing it at it if you feel lost your mind, you're feeling lucky, hit it with a walking stick.
Speaker 1:Oh, you can. I'm not. I'm not saying swing it like a baseball bat, but you like coming from behind the bat and go straight down. So I hope there's no Haters out there, because I killed carpenter bees. Trust me there's. There's 20 more behind the one.
Speaker 2:You're in trouble now.
Speaker 1:I'm sure, but. But that's okay.
Speaker 2:You killed bees. You triggered somebody.
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably so. So what's going on this week?
Speaker 2:Not much. We ain't done nothing much.
Speaker 1:So did you see? This is kind of a, I guess more of a local thing or a regional thing from Birmingham, but that Carly Russell girl, to me it's probably been a year now, but you know what she did, the did you've you seen the news today? Yeah she, she played guilty. She was the one that claimed to see a little kid wandering around. Was it only interstate? Yep, and then at nighttime and she supposedly pulled over and then she gets kidnapped. And that's not the way the story went.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cuz it was from a movie or something, wasn't it?
Speaker 1:Well, but they were after the fact, they were thinking that but she was miss. So she's kidnapped and she's missing for 48 hours, and then does she end up.
Speaker 2:She just walks home.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she just ends up like back home and then nobody's talking. They can't get you know, find out anything anyway. So today she was in court. She'd been in court before this, but today I guess it's official. She played guilty to a line about the whole thing. There was no little kid, there was no getting kidnapped, and she was supposed to actually come out today and Tell where she was and who she was with for those 48 hours, but she didn't do that. And the bad thing about because what the police department was trying to do was all the manpower and they had helicopters and all this stuff out there for her to like pay back All the expenses that it cost.
Speaker 2:She had to pay it back.
Speaker 1:Oh really, I didn't think, yeah, really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw the mount it was.
Speaker 1:Well, I just know that they were complaining about it, they wanted it, and then I was just.
Speaker 2:I mean, she should have to pay it back.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, but the bad thing, the whole thing about it was she was supposed to let him know today I think that was part of the deal was you've got to explain, tell us where you were the whole time, and that didn't happen. But the bad thing about it is there's no jail time at all.
Speaker 2:It was gonna be, she's got a, she's got like a hundred hours.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one year probation or something and then a hundred hours community service. She's supposed to go back in October and the judge is supposed to see how far along she is with her community service, something like that. But if you looked at her mugshot you know she's smiling. So I mean she Apparently it's just for attention now whether she thought it was a good idea for it and then it backfired and she's truly sorry. I don't know, but it didn't look like it.
Speaker 2:I was trying to find it. I know I saw the amount somewhere. Oh here it is. Pay more than $17,000, restitution Is that all. I thought it was more than that, but that's what this one says.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's a percentage, but I think it was. It had to be more than that. The way they talked, all the manpower and all the resources they used. I had to be more than 17,000.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what this says. She played guilty and was sentenced to probation and will pay more than 17,000 restitution. I'm sure that must also provide that she continues mental health counseling. No doubt about that a hundred hours of community service.
Speaker 1:You should be able to knock that out in no time, though I mean that, what is that?
Speaker 2:Nothing.
Speaker 1:I think this right here if you don't get jail time, you're not learning anything. And I'm not saying a year or six months or anything like that, but my two weeks something right, yeah, the months says there should be consequences to your actions.
Speaker 2:And she's just getting a slap on my wrist.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:Oh well, says the attorneys would not comment on where Russell had been when she disappeared.
Speaker 1:See, and that's my point they were making the big deal that today was the day that she's supposed to let it all out and she agreed to it and then Not now. See that that stipulation along right there. If I was a judge I'd have been like alright, well, if you don't want to tell us like you said, you's going to three months in the county pen. I wish I had a gavel Because I'd hit it right now. Well, if I? Just what? If I just kept a gavel in my back pocket and every time I felt like I said something that was real important or Doing that all the time, I would you think everything you say is important.
Speaker 2:Well, it is. I don't think I know. Imagine that so let's get on a happier subject. So we celebrated a big thing this past Sunday.
Speaker 1:That's right, we did. I think I know where you're going.
Speaker 2:Anyway, we had a special day this past Sunday at our church.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because we hadn't mentioned this at all.
Speaker 2:I don't think so, mm-hmm, it's been 20 years in the making. Would you say that? I mean, I know it's been 20 years, but what is this big making that you're talking about? Building a new Sanctuary for our congregation and it's all in God's timing. So I mean, just wasn't right back then and now it is and we have a great facility that our older folks can Come in, and because our other facility you had to it's on different levels.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, we've got steps here and steps there and we're growing, the Lord's blessing us, and so this Sunday we had a celebration service.
Speaker 1:But before you get on to that, let's go back to this started 18 months ago. We broke ground 18 months ago.
Speaker 2:But the whole project started 20 years ago.
Speaker 1:The whole project's been a long time. That's right. And then we've just, you know, recently, in the last few years, really started, you know, stepping it up. Several years ago we started Really getting into it, where we had a plans drawn and all this stuff and then got quotes and all this and then, a couple years past, and then when we revisited it like one of the quotes from one of the Contractors, they were actually out of business, just little things like that. It was just like you know. So we basically kind of not really started back over again, but anyway, we kind of started hitting it really, you know, pretty hard, you know, getting this thing rolling. We voted on it, we're all in and we went forward and, like I said, 18 months ago, we broke ground. It seemed like it was going to take forever. And then, of course, the next thing, you know it's here and it's it's a beautiful Building.
Speaker 2:It really unreal. It's still not believable.
Speaker 1:I know I still don't feel right like so.
Speaker 2:I guess because I'm not always in the sanctuary during during preaching, because I help out a lot in the nursery, so it just I don't know what. Just it's just weird.
Speaker 1:So this church was formed in 1914.
Speaker 2:I believe, and so if you hear that it's over a hundred years, oh right.
Speaker 1:So you might have heard our dogs. We've got them in here and we've got it. I hate to change topics real quick, but we have Cameras and so when they go off we get a notification. Okay, but if we get a notification, the dogs have learned that the sound of that notification.
Speaker 2:That one in life 360 when Nicholas gets home, they go crazy.
Speaker 1:They have figured out that that means somebody's here and of course, when you got two little bitty ankle biters, they're gonna bark at anything. So Go back to sleep anyway, so yeah, so yeah, 1914. Is that right?
Speaker 2:I don't know if that's right. I know it's over a hundred years old.
Speaker 1:Is it a hundred? Was it 1900? 1900 so it's a hundred twenty four years of. I think that's right.
Speaker 2:Is that?
Speaker 1:right? I think so could we actually had a flag talking about something we don't know, I knew it because I just that we've got a flag that was flown at the Capitol when they commemorated our 100th anniversary and and now I'm thinking that was in 2000, but now Okay, all right that that we will bring that back next week and we will find out the details.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I worked there and I can't even believe I can't remember so back to the whole thing.
Speaker 1:The, the church was slowly pieced together. I guess you'd say it was it. You know they did renovations, they added on. It just got bigger and bigger.
Speaker 1:The part that I work in is the church that's a hundred years old right used to be the, the sanctuary and yeah, now it's an office, now it's an office in a choir room and you can actually go downstairs and a what's what is now a Sunday school classroom, but you go into a closet around bag and you go in there and open up another door. Next he goes underneath the old church and there's an old furnace and I mean it's really neat. But so they've added on an education building, probably 20 years ago, something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's it's. It was there when we got there right, so it's two layers 14 or 15 is our two layer, two stories layers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not a cake, but the downstairs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the down stairs is a daycare during the week, and then it's our Children's church. You know, on Sunday Well, we just in Sunday, and but anyway. So the whole deal was you know, you've got you come around from the back, you've got a ramp or you got to go up steps. You know, if you're a Handicapped or if you just, mobility wise, if you have trouble with things, it just it got, we'll get you in the building. But it's a challenge sometimes. Okay, so that was the whole plan with this. So now we're on one level Playing field, so to speak. We've got an elevator now that'll take you up to in the ed building. We've got all new Sunday school classrooms down to halls and room to grow room to grow.
Speaker 1:We've. We can fit 500 plus in the sanctuary, something like that. If you know, if we have all our chairs out and if it ever, you know, met the requirements for that we lost, it does right, we lost our balcony.
Speaker 2:We have a balcony on our other so now some of our people don't know where they're going right, so this past Sunday because you know us Baptist.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:We like sitting about yeah, backseat Baptist. I've changed, though I like sitting the front.
Speaker 1:So this past Sunday was our. What do we just?
Speaker 2:celebration celebration.
Speaker 1:So we had some guest speakers, a lot of people we hadn't seen in a while, visitors from other churches. We just I mean, we had a packed house, had to put out more chairs, just just great. God's working in the church, just great things. This Sunday, hopefully, the same thing. Then we got Easter. It'll be Palm Sunday this Sunday, easter the next Sunday. So but yeah, so that's what we've been doing. I mean any little bit of time we have and going down there we clean, we're doing this. We're just trying to get been been trying to hurry to get meet this March 17th deadline of when we were going in for the first service, and we did it.
Speaker 2:We did it yeah.
Speaker 1:Man, so that's yeah, so we just haven't ever mentioned anything about it. But pretty much we were down there a lot just trying to take care of things and getting it ready A lot of people put in a lot of hard, hard work.
Speaker 2:They did.
Speaker 1:We've got so many people that aren't afraid to volunteer and. We'll do anything. If they're asked, they'll do it and they really stepped, they stepped up for this project. This was a big project. Of course we have contractor and all that that did you know the legwork on this. But there was a lot of other stuff. Like we had a Lot of the men that would come out there certain times in a week when they had to do certain things with the Like, what were the things they laid down for the, for the grass?
Speaker 2:I don't know what. I can even think what. It's called this rolls of hay or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so anyway. So everybody Did something to help and it just came together so it was it was. It's a beautiful church, you know. Maybe I can put a picture of that. I don't know, maybe not mostly we actually, a few Sundays ago we are a few Saturdays ago we met down there several of us because we had a video we had a drone that was gonna actually take, you know, of course aerial footage of the sanctuary and was actually gonna fly down Into the parking lot.
Speaker 1:We're gonna open up the front doors. He was gonna come in the front door and it did. That's what it was gonna do that day. I'm just saying yeah, so it did that. Came into the four-year, welcomed up the doors of the sanctuary and it came in there, and then that was part of the video Presentation that they did this past Sunday, which I didn't get to see, but that's okay.
Speaker 2:You can watch us on Facebook.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so yeah, just just great things happening in our church and I pray that it's the same thing with Anybody's church is out there. You know God's working, don't forget. All right, so what else you got this way? What is the deal? I keep seeing this thing with a Kate Middleton. Is that her name, middleton?
Speaker 2:She's sick, she's in the hospital. She's no show they some people said she's photoshopped her picture or something. I don't know all the details so I really can't talk on it rumors, rumors that she's passed away. I mean, some people are like is this like Diane? All over again.
Speaker 1:They said that there's like a body double, yeah, but then some people said they've seen her. There was a picture that came out that I heard that it was her and her mother, I think, in a car. I don't know, but this whole thing about she Some kind of it was a picture that was photoshopped.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was a picture that was taken.
Speaker 1:I saw the picture. They said it was taken from a magazine cover and then they had. You know they had they'd stopped. Her kids were all right, anyway they were. So I didn't see the actual picture. The picture I saw was where they had all these little circles and dots showing you what they thought was fake and how somebody's hand wouldn't write and, you know, a shirt Wouldn't fit in correctly.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, if you point out things like that, you can make somebody think it's not right any picture that we've got we can probably do. Sure, you can do that.
Speaker 1:But I think what it was is is, if you went back and you you found this exact picture that it was just a dad giveaway. I mean, if that's the case, then you know they're, you know they're caught, they're busted. So I don't know why. Why would you not do if she's gotten medical? We know she's had a surgery and she stayed in the hospital for a while. I don't know, I don't. I don't keep up with this. I was trying to it's interesting. Hey, if y'all haven't seen, interest.
Speaker 2:I just think that family's interesting.
Speaker 1:But Was it? Did it come out a year or was it two years ago? The queen.
Speaker 2:We watched. It watched a couple of them, didn't we or something? Was that all one with?
Speaker 1:that one season it was probably ten or twelve, I don't know how many episodes but it was good and it progressed from when the queen was young, you know, and then when she became queen all the way. So it was kind of neat to see how she aged, how the you know actors and actresses changed after a few, you know. Yeah, it was. You know, Once you get used to one actor, now he's gone and he's older, you know. Oh, but yeah, that was, that was good. That was a good show.
Speaker 2:We'll have to see how that plays out this way. I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't understand how they they have no control really, but they're such a there's such, there's such a A critters I mean would you say they're such royalty?
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, they're like.
Speaker 1:I mean they're like but they have no control, but they're such a crucial part of that society over there, wow, I'll never understand. Lucky them, I guess really, I guess I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2:Apparently they trying to literally harry and they don't want to be a part of.
Speaker 1:But back to Kate. You know the thing, if something's really wrong, whether what I just put a statement out there and say you know she's sick and well, because it's about, like the, the dude that had the surgery and the president didn't know about it.
Speaker 2:Who had the surgery was in the hospital the, the white dude, yeah, security.
Speaker 1:No, I don't remember his title now. I wish you just mentioned this early, I could looked it up. So I don't look that. I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2:He didn't let anybody know it's called old age. You, we can remember.
Speaker 1:Goodness, not old age, it is not just own it, it is. He just there's like a chain of command type thing and he didn't tell anybody.
Speaker 2:No one was in the hospital having surgery and guess what?
Speaker 1:he still got his job, anybody else. Yeah, but anyway so I would be like if I've got a spokesman for my family or whatever this is what I'd say. Kate's got some medical issues, nothing serious, but leave us alone. Yeah, that's it, we're fine, she'd do a whole lot of those out of my business.
Speaker 2:I got to take care of my health and I'll see you on the flip side. I mean, I think, a lot of long.
Speaker 1:I think a lot of time it will see. It's just like this Photoshop picture. If they hadn't done that, see they were trying to make things better or cover something up by doing that and what it do. Make sure they did a whole 180 and then yeah, backfire so just don't do anything like that, my goodness, everybody's so scared they got to hide something.
Speaker 1:Their image, people's image, is so important to certain people, you know. And then you got these people look like have got to know what's going on. You know, I don't. I don't have to know what's going on over there. I don't have to know what's going on here, especially when it comes to, like, an actress and actor, a singer. Some things are, you know, kind of interesting, but Doesn't rule my world, you know as it shouldn't. That's like somebody shows on TLC. What, what is TLC turned into.
Speaker 2:No, what it used to be not the learning channel.
Speaker 1:What does it stand for now? Is it still called the learning channel?
Speaker 2:I think so.
Speaker 1:I mean and they've turned it into its little people, my Little world or my? What are all these, if not that it's like you get married to somebody you don't know, or was it a blind marriage, or what are all these? My 90-day fiance, that's one of them.
Speaker 2:Is that your show?
Speaker 1:No, but my goodness. I mean, who do you really like who sits down and watches this stuff?
Speaker 2:I like little people.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Yeah, I know, yeah, I'll walk in there, and I think last night, matter of fact, I went by when was the last? Night you had it on. I always ask you questions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll ask you questions, like they've got another kid, you know, with the one they just had, like their third kid or something like that, wow, but Harry and Megan, they'd, like you know, talk about two lost people. I don't know who controls that relationship and I don't know for somebody that don't want to be out, you know, out in public. They sure are having a hard time keeping from doing it. No comment from you.
Speaker 2:No comment, cuz I don't really know about it, so I can't really talk about it All right, we ate what's it called. I really know what it's called.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you what it's called chicken noodles.
Speaker 2:It's called. I got it off a tick tock. It was a viral crock pot dinner. I love dinners in the crock pot. You just put it in there. You come home, you cook some noodles and you done we're eating supper by five o'clock. I love it. It was chicken with what's that sauce called buffalo wild wings sauce, parmesan garlic. Then you put cream cheese in it, parmesan cheese, and let it cook. Then shred your chicken. Did you know you could shred your chicken with a hand mixer? That's the best tip ever. So, ladies, if you don't and you cook chicken, shred your chicken with a hand mixer Instead of getting your two forks and pulling it apart and pulling it apart or pulling it apart with your hand.
Speaker 1:We'll make sure to put that in the show notes hand mixer because that might be the most important part of this.
Speaker 2:Then you cook your noodles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's good, that's real good. Then we had garlic bread, or something cheesy bread, cheesy bread and the. What is air fryer? And I'm tape y'all don't have an air fryer.
Speaker 2:I hardly ever use this oven anymore.
Speaker 1:Go get you an air fryer. I'm about to get another one because it makes that's the same thing, is what was the the instant? Pot when we first got the instant pot. It's like my. This is a game changer. You know doing potatoes because you're saving so much time. How long does it take to do a potato in there?
Speaker 2:20 or 25 minutes.
Speaker 1:Is that a long?
Speaker 2:depend, yeah, depending on how big your potatoes.
Speaker 1:It was longer than I thought, but still it's a lot quicker like ribs and stuff.
Speaker 2:Oh, you have never had ribs. If you put ribs in that and then you put the ribs, and then it's the pot, and then you take it out and put it in the air fryer and get your um barbecue sauce. What's?
Speaker 1:the word for it. Please stop talking caramelized.
Speaker 2:I can't think of a word.
Speaker 1:I'm not even hungry and that sounds okay, rit, see, that's who eats ribs. Out and open, if you're gonna talk about ribs for a second. Ribs is one thing that I will not order if we're out somewhere. Yeah, I'm like, I like some, but that's like in the comfort of my own home, I'm gonna eat ribs. I'm not eating them out because I just feel like I'm just making such a mess.
Speaker 2:They're ribs. You're supposed to make them, I know, but I look better when you make them.
Speaker 1:I look like a toddler a toddler's face when I'm eating it, that's all right? No, it's not all right. Yeah, all right. So I've got a few questions for you.
Speaker 2:I got a question.
Speaker 1:My ears. Thank you for that. That was loud.
Speaker 2:I'm a loud person.
Speaker 1:See this little mixer. It'll adjust it on the recording, but when you're actually loud in my headphones right now You're loud.
Speaker 2:I've been told that I can turn you down.
Speaker 1:But you know when you come in hot to the mic like that, it's still loud on my in yaks.
Speaker 2:I've been told that a lot, yeah, so do you know me to get in the mic.

Speaker 2:So tell me to get out of the mic.

Speaker 1:We had to have a little discussion. He stays in trouble little prayer meeting in here, and then we had to start back.
Speaker 2:He had to apologize.
Speaker 1:Well, no apologies, had to hit that pause button on this recorder.
Speaker 2:He had to apologize.
Speaker 1:So you may ask my question go ahead.
Speaker 2:I got one question I.
Speaker 1:Don't know if I do good thing that I edit this, cuz I can you will leave this. I can control. We'll leave it in there, I just got a lot.
Speaker 2:I will not podcast with you anymore. Hmm, you have to go find you some more friends.
Speaker 1:That's doing yourself a favor, right? She's been really mean. She's mouth and stuff at me right now. There's a little simple things like this right here. What do you think about QR codes?
Speaker 2:Okay, in the beginning I hated them, like I'm like nobody uses these things, and now I like them.
Speaker 1:Can I? Can create my own they're good for my business when we know you can't talk. I do feel like I interrupt you, but it's like if I have something on my mind, I need to get it out there, because leave well that's how I feel, like I but in all the time.
Speaker 2:But I can't help it if I don't say it'll be gone and like I don't remember it.
Speaker 1:I do like seeing some of our older generation when it comes to trying to figure out the QR code, when they try and take a picture of the QR code instead of just going on their photo. You know what? I'm saying you know, I'm saying no, what are you saying? I have seen many of an older person, older than me, so that that kind of keeps it wide open, but they go to their photos on their phone.
Speaker 2:Oh, instead of going to their camera.
Speaker 1:Well, they go. No, they go to their camera, I'm sorry. They go to their camera and and they take a picture of the QR code instead of instead of when it comes out here like you're supposed to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they can't figure out that and I understand.
Speaker 1:I understand it If you're not been told or if you don't want to do it every once while, but I do get a you know, you can get a little giggle out of it. Yeah, cuz I don't correct them, I just watch cuz somebody will help them.
Speaker 2:Why don't you step up and help? They don't need my help. Yes, they do.
Speaker 1:I do like QR codes. I think whoever came up with that nicely done. We used one on our booth. Yeah all right, you mean asking another one? Yeah, this is another one. Do people still use alarm clocks? Not talking about your alarm on your phone, I'm talking about the actual go-to-wall more. It's been 20 bucks on an alarm clock.
Speaker 2:Well, I bought Nicholas one for Christmas and he used it, yet.
Speaker 1:I know I wish he would he ain't used it yet. He needs it cuz he doesn't keep his phone. We don't allow phones in the bedroom or anything like that. He he lives his phone charging in the living room actually, and I'm really surprised he hadn't just said I'm taking my phone. Yeah, you know, I mean scared of you.
Speaker 2:That's why, well good, oh, I'm not his friend yet.
Speaker 1:He's a good kid. I say kid, he's a young adult, so what he is. So Him with his job and all this kind of stuff. You always, before you, had it off to work, you had to make sure you think he liked that, though, like I think he likes me waking him up.
Speaker 1:Well, I would like a soft voice waking me up instead of a burn. Yeah, I just wondered because, you know, and I'm talking about I'm not not the one that you hand cranking it Does it. You know, I'm talking about the digital clock that you? Yeah, okay, I didn't, I didn't know. I mean, can you go to Walmart? There's still a section over there, yeah, really yeah.
Speaker 2:Who does that?
Speaker 1:I don't know how you, I have to use the one on my phone.
Speaker 2:I know, I hear it every morning, I know and I think this morning at 320.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was the second time I hit it. I think Might have been the third, I don't know. It was rough. A lot of mornings are rough, used to be easy. Well, it's never easy I think the worst and I get off track, track so bad. I think the worst feeling in the world is when you first wake up and having to get up Because that is just a terrible feeling, because when you want to stay there, like can I just stay in the bed and just sleep just a little Bit longer, yeah, that's just a terrible thing. I think that's the worst feeling there is just my opinion. That's why I'm late for work every day yeah oops.
Speaker 1:How long do you go with eating leftovers I? How many days you let it go? I think, well, I'll let you.
Speaker 2:When we first got married we didn't do leftovers, you know we didn't like them, like when it was just me and you.
Speaker 1:And then we found out it had to be a part of life, because that you can't just throw away food.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean like we never did leftovers. But now I'm like y'all better eat that food, because I ain't cooking nothing else. I don't care if it's been in there five days. I've told you every day to eat it. I crack myself up sometimes.
Speaker 1:I was gonna say you, you sounded very harsh.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna get the giggles that was pretty rough.
Speaker 1:I say two days.
Speaker 2:It depends on what it is.
Speaker 1:Mine is two days, I think two days and I do. I think it. Just it's gotta depend on what it is Now soup and chili. We can go three Maybe.
Speaker 2:I can go. It depends on if I eat it for lunch and supper. I won't do lunch and supper but I'll do one or the other. And if I do lunch one day I might not do it supper. I might do it lunch the next day.
Speaker 1:Well, I said three. I'm taking that back. I don't know if I, if I do three or not, Two is a little.
Speaker 2:I'm really specific. You've done three on soup Maybe. So yeah, we've done three on soup. Yeah, some of that. I've done soup all week.
Speaker 1:And then some of the stuff is not that it's questionable. If it's like getting bad, it's just like it's not good.
Speaker 2:It's just not good. Leftover yeah.
Speaker 1:That's the same thing with milk.
Speaker 2:But you eat tacos leftover.
Speaker 1:You gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2:Sometimes Now tacos are terrible leftover Like if they're in the fridge the next morning when you drench them with that barbecue sauce.
Speaker 1:Just forget about that part. But I'm saying because it's stuck to the wrapper and all this stuff you have to fight it. So yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2:Sometimes it's just like hey, so hungry, he's just going to eat it.
Speaker 1:I'm like. I'll fix you something I think if you were going to save like tacos from like Taco Bell, whatever it would be wise to like, take it out of wrapper and put it in like a Ziploc bag and then put it, you know, just to keep you from fighting that paper, because it's going to stick to you, might as well just not even open and just eat the paper.
Speaker 2:That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1:So back to milk. I have a hard time which I don't drink milk. I couldn't tell you the last time I drank it. Not that I don't like it, but I'm I don't know. Seriously, it's fine, but if it's got like today's date I'm not touching it, even if it's a.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm not. I'm not smooth, I just used milk that went out yesterday. Look In the meal that I made tonight.
Speaker 1:If you're cooking with it, that's fine, whatever. And if I don't know about that, that's fine. But if I'm physically going to the fridge and I want to swig a milk which I don't, I won't ever do that, but I'm just saying that, even if it says if it's going out tomorrow, I probably would not swig it and I'm not smelling it. I'm not smelling milk to see.
Speaker 2:You can't even smell.
Speaker 1:I don't have a good smeller, but I am not smelling it. That's just milk scares me, I don't know. I think one time I went back when I was in grade school or whatever, it seems like I drank milk. You know, back then you had a little carton. I have a paper carton and there was like some.
Speaker 2:Do they not still have this?
Speaker 1:I don't know I'm not in schools, I don't know they have little chunks or something came out one night. I always remember that Now it might have been a dream or it might not be real or whatever, but it seems like there were some chunks that came out of, I think, of milk that I drank one time, many, many years ago, and I think that's why I'm kind of scared of it. I don't think I've ever just got a glass of milk, half a glass, and just like sift on it.
Speaker 2:No, now to get it to dunk your Oreos in.
Speaker 1:Say I'm not, even, not even dunked. But I would think if I'm going to do that, it has got to be like ice cold. Yeah, it can't get close to room temperature or anything like that. No, oh, that's terrible. I'd rather eat 76 hot dogs than drink a glass of milk. Uh, let's see. Well, what do you think about Bucky's?
Speaker 2:I think it's overrated.
Speaker 1:You think so?
Speaker 2:You know, I like it. I mean, when we go buy one, we go in there, I like it, but you don't let me shop, so I think it's overrated.
Speaker 1:So I used to like love's travel shop, travel center, whatever it's called. No, we had one come to our town. It's probably been almost 10 years now since it got here, but that was a big deal, you know. It had like 30 pumps or something like that and it's got your subway and your McDonald's and all this stuff and it was just a huge store. We thought, and all this, and then when this Bucky's came to you know, the nearest Bucky's is what? Probably an hour and a half away.
Speaker 2:Yeah, probably yeah.
Speaker 1:So, but when we went to one, we went up to Huntsville and stopped by one and when I saw it from a distance I was like what in the world is that thing?
Speaker 2:And when you Well, we videoed it, or something, didn't we?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I videoed it and I was going to do something with the GoPro. I took the GoPro in and videoed it, I think so inside the store, but I was amazed at how many gas pumps and how do you manage that?
Speaker 2:Every one of them had somebody at it too.
Speaker 1:And the barbecue sandwiches and just anything, and there's people bringing-. How do you manage that? I've come from a background of having to deal with stuff like this and I'm like this is overwhelming. If you look at the sign on the door, you know the starting pay for like an assistant. I mean, it's like 125,000 or that's not crazy. Yeah, it's like what you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:You can run the car wash.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I'm like you know what that's? Yeah, because you've got a lot to do, you know. Yeah, You're not having time to sit down or anything like that, but when we walked around in there it was anything and everything you wanted, but it was a madhouse.
Speaker 2:It's like a novelty store it was-.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's overwhelming. It was almost like the foyer at our church this past Sunday. Yeah, it's big.
Speaker 2:It was overwhelming with people.
Speaker 1:And I was very uncomfortable. Yeah, but it was amazing because I'm like-.
Speaker 2:This is funny, because yesterday I was really thinking of telling you hey, let's just take a trip to Bucky's. I really thought about that, just because we used to go to when was it? They'd give me a five and we would go to Bucky's.
Speaker 1:We would go to Pulaski, Tennessee. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I don't know. I just got thinking about that yesterday and I was like we should go to Bucky's this weekend.
Speaker 1:Pulaski, Tennessee, is where a store was called Give Me a Five, that on Saturdays, basically it was a return center for Amazon and anything in there. You'd go up there and you'd stand in line and when they opened up the doors you went in there and there's just bins of merchandise and all it is is returns from Amazon. Some stuff's broke, Some stuff's never been open, Some stuff I found. I paid $5 for a digital watch that was worth $149. It was still had the wrapper and all that stuff on it, Because once you load up all, you get two bags and you can fill those bags up and after that you have to check out, you have to check out.
Speaker 1:But before you do that, you go and you find a spot up against a wall. You bring out everything that you got and you're googling it and you're taking pictures and you're finding out what the value and stuff is. And I found out this watch, the value of it. I thought it was just a watch band for, like an Apple watch, but it wasn't. It was an actual digital watch or a smart watch.
Speaker 2:And we met some nice people.
Speaker 1:We did, people would come from all around the company All around, they would come yeah. And it was fun it took us.
Speaker 2:We got to find us some more. It was to take the GoPro, yeah, so it was to do a podcast on that.
Speaker 1:It was two hours and five minute drive.
Speaker 2:And he'd get me up at four o'clock.
Speaker 1:No, we would leave we left at four.
Speaker 2:We left at four, so we got up about three at six To get a ticket, to get a ticket To sleep in the car.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we got a ticket and that was your number in line and so then you could go back to your car, and when it got closer to seven o'clock, everybody got in line with what number was on the ticket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll have to find us something like that, yeah.
Speaker 1:But it was really fun and that's another force that we used to sell stuff at our booth at that time.
Speaker 2:But I didn't want to get on the plasky thing Because I'm going to talk about Buckeys.
Speaker 1:But I was thinking how did they like tanker trucks filling up the gas? How does all that work? You've got so many pumps. How?
Speaker 2:about they come in. You were saying so the tankers, they just got to be on like a rotating schedule. They've probably come. How long does a tank of gas last?
Speaker 1:On an 18-wheeler.
Speaker 2:No at the gas station.
Speaker 1:Oh what? Yeah, it just all depends on how much business you're doing.
Speaker 2:Well, a Buckeys, because we, that's what I'm saying they got to be getting a tanker over two hours. Yeah, they got to be.
Speaker 1:When I thought about Buckeys, I was, for some reason, I think I've got to have tires for my truck. I've got to go this weekend and get new tires, which is going to be nice Because what it's going to be like probably almost $1000 for stinking tires, but I was thinking convenience store and tires. You remember last year when I almost got killed by a tire?
Speaker 2:Oh yes, that was crazy yeah.
Speaker 1:I was at a different convenience store All these convenience stores I end up at, yeah and I was behind my trailer, bent down, and I had something out of the corner of my eye, something was about to get me or whatever, and I kind of just hunkered down a little bit and a tire three or four foot behind me bounced right by me and went right, you know, past me and went into the property that was beside me.
Speaker 2:But it was close, oh it was close to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm saying three or four feet, I don't know. I mean it might have been 18 inches, but it was. I mean it was there, it bounced. Yeah, if I'd have stepped back one or two steps it would have killed. If it didn't kill me it would have hurt.
Speaker 1:I don't, I'd have been in trouble no matter what. So it ended up being well, I'll tell you this. So I watched that tire bounce and bounce and bounce and then a truck pulled up, pulled up beside me and the side window came down and the guy said he said that thing almost killed you. And I was like, yeah, he said it came off that log truck that just went by. He said I've been behind them for about five or 10 miles and he said right down the road. He said he lost another one. He said one of those tires shot up probably 50 feet in the air. He said so that's actually the second tire that had lost and anyway, I appreciate him stopping by.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I looked over there and the person that's working inside the store is out right there at the gas pumps talking to somebody else and they're looking at something and I just thought they saw the tire come off. What I didn't know after I walked over there was the tire came off. If somebody would have been pumping gas at this, it would have the same thing. It probably would have killed them. But the tire, it was not just an 18-wheeler tire, it was the rim, it was everything.
Speaker 1:The whole, thing, the whole thing, so it was probably a couple hundred pounds. Hit the gas pump, ricochet off that and that from that ricochet is what almost took me out and bounced back there and I took a picture. I went over there to find the tire and pulled the tire or rolled the tire back over there in case. I wish I'd have known everything that happened. I wish I'd have known it hit the pump at the time and all that stuff, because I would have told the guy that pulled over to take off and fall it, because we don't still know who it was.
Speaker 2:There's cameras at the you gotta know that you've lost two tires.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's cameras at that store and I was just out of view. You could see a little bit of like a tire, but it wasn't. It was grain in and anything like that, but yeah, but that shook me up to where I was, like I didn't do anything the rest of the day. I was like time to reflect, which I know I'm fine on, but it really is like you know what? That was really close, Something that I don't want to be taken out by a tire. There's several things I want.
Speaker 2:What's the odds?
Speaker 1:What's the odds of getting hit by a tire, but I took a picture of it. If I can find that picture, I'm going to post it.
Speaker 2:Post it yeah, the death tire, but I can't believe.
Speaker 1:I mean it did a number on that gas pump.
Speaker 2:Jody's got the stories.
Speaker 1:I do. I do If you will. Questions lead to stories, if you will jog this old noggin of mine. Something's going to come out. Might not be good, but look, I didn't rant tonight.
Speaker 2:No, no, I didn't rant, I did a good job. You know, I just got a. I got a question.
Speaker 1:You may keep going, you got.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Okay, you asked that. No, I think I'll have one more question after that, maybe not.
Speaker 2:Okay, oh, my goodness, I got him scared because I texted him earlier today.
Speaker 1:I didn't know what you meant.
Speaker 2:You text me and say oh, yeah, I said I got a question and he's always talking about the podcast and so I thought he would think of that. But he just said what? And I'm like, oh, he thinks I really mean that. I really mean I got a question right now Like I'm sure he's going like what in the world. Is she going to ask me to do now?
Speaker 1:No, I thought something was up. I was like because if you had a question, you just would have called me.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But then now you got it. So I'm now I'm starting to think what have I done? What?
Speaker 2:does she want me to do? What have I got to build now?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't know what it was about, the podcast.
Speaker 2:So okay. So my question is if you could go back and tell your younger self something, what would you tell your younger self?
Speaker 1:My goodness, this is deep.
Speaker 2:This is a good one.
Speaker 1:I wish you'd gave me a heads up on this one. No, how much time we got. Yeah, y'all might hear a little bit of dead air till I can come up with something. What would I tell my younger self?
Speaker 2:What would you tell your younger self?
Speaker 1:Not to be as stupid as I was for so long, because I was pretty stupid for many years.
Speaker 2:That's good. So mine would be. Mine's probably a stupid answer, but getting older and going through your body changing, your skin's changing and all this mess, I would go back and tell my younger self.
Speaker 1:Take care of yourself.
Speaker 2:Take care of yourself. Use skin care. Take care of your skin.
Speaker 1:That was the first thing that came to my mind was use more lotion on my arms and yeah because my face is so dry right now. That's the last thing on my mind. I would not.
Speaker 2:No, I mean well, you're a boy, I'm a girl.
Speaker 1:I'm not a boy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:You're a man. I've been dealing with this dry skin and all this and my makeup not looking good on my face and I don't know. I was just sitting there thinking today if I could just go back to in my 20s and start using the skin care, I probably wouldn't be the way it is now. So I just thought that was a good question. What would you tell your younger self?
Speaker 1:It is a good. It would be like sit down, younger self. We're going to be here a while. I got a lot of stuff to cover and you better be taking notes. It's all I'm telling you.
Speaker 2:You better get that phone out and take some notes, that's right. Yeah, what are you talking about? We don't have phones, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's. I don't know. I don't know how to answer that, because there's so many things that I would need to tell myself.
Speaker 2:That's a good question.
Speaker 1:It is a good question, very good question. Well, you know, the all these questions about leftovers and alarm clocks look pretty dumb now that you brought that one up.
Speaker 2:Don't ask for another one. That's all you get, okay.
Speaker 1:You don't want me to ask this one more?
Speaker 2:I think we've done enough.
Speaker 1:I think so Okay.
Speaker 2:Save it for next week.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I had that left.
Speaker 2:Jody likes these questions, so I guess that'll be a every week thing we kind of hit and missed on this one.
Speaker 1:When I ask these questions, I'm wanting people to think about it too, and I'm not just asking you I'm like whoever's listening, I'm gonna be like. Some of them are kind of just simple, like the QR. I was thinking today I saw the QR code and I was like what do you think about the QR code? Because I think that's pretty ingenious and how much time did that take to figure out.
Speaker 2:How can you just create a QR code with anything?
Speaker 1:That's just what gets in your mind, what?
Speaker 2:comes back. We are back on the first question. Yeah, what?
Speaker 1:what causes that? All right, Well, that's it. That's all I got.
Speaker 2:That's all I got. Once again thank you for listening. Thank you for taking time out of your day. If you like us, hit that follow button, subscribe button, whatever it's called.
Speaker 1:We weren't going to go through that again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I like it. Yeah, monday's leave us to call me.
Speaker 1:Nobody's left us to call me. We've had very few, and that's fine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe you can't, I don't know. I'm used to here I go again. I'm used to TikTok and I tell everybody, you know, with selling my nails or whatever. Leave me a comment, let me know. So I'm just used to saying that. So I mean, I don't know, on these podcasts, like on Spotify, can you leave comments?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's actually. You've got a question. That's not what I would do.
Speaker 2:Well, go on our social media, like on our Facebook, and if you were, if you wanted to leave a comment yeah, they would.
Speaker 1:anybody's going to go to one of the social we're on Twitter too, or X, whatever, so you can go there Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and what is it? I think that's all. And then we go to the webpage, so all right, folks, it's been fun.
