Sunkissed cheeks and laughter have become signatures of our lakeside life, and we're peeling back the curtain to share those moments with you. Imagine the chill of winter winds giving way to the buzz of summer visitors, and you're halfway to understanding the duality of lake living. We kick things off with a chat about the accidental sunburns that are a byproduct of impromptu workdays fixing trailers, and soon find ourselves diving into a conversation about self-tanning—a nod to health over vanity that wasn't always the norm. Meanwhile, the peaceful yet sometimes crowded lakefront existence proves to be a muse for our reflections and anecdotes.
Ever wondered if toe dexterity might just run in the family? Chuckle along with us as we explore how quirky traits and talents, like pranking prowess, can knit a family closer together, and perhaps even leave us a few hilarious stories richer. From tales of painting mishaps that led to bird scares at church, to musings on whether these unique skills could actually turn a profit, this episode is a patchwork quilt of shared experiences that celebrate the silly side of shared DNA.
Fashion faux pas, technological marvels, or maybe just the endearing quirks of communication styles—nothing escapes our candid roundtable this time around. We're weighing in on the comfort of landlines versus the nuisance of holding cell phones, delving into how AI is playing a backstage role in our podcast production, and even discussing how our fashion sense evolves (or devolves) with age. Grab your coziest socks, and join us for an episode where we share personal stories that'll have you snickering, and insights that might just make you rethink that next bumper sticker or flash of warning lights to fellow motorists.

Welcome back folks to this, that and the other. I'm Jody, you just took my words and I'm Amanda. She is Amanda. I didn't know if you were going to say it or not.
Speaker 2:What's up?
Speaker 1:What's up with you?
Speaker 2:Nothing.
Speaker 1:What's going on this week? What's going on today? Anything.
Speaker 2:I've just chilled.
Speaker 1:You've chilled.
Speaker 2:I've been up your honey.
Speaker 1:You were actually. I was proud of you because you kind of sounded excited about doing the podcast today and then, as it got closer because we never really know when we're going to do this thing we just try and squeeze.
Speaker 2:I don't like doing this late. It's on Saturday. I want to be done.
Speaker 1:I know, you know we were doing it on Thursdays, then it got pushed to Friday, then it got pushed to Saturday and there's been a couple of Sundays. I will not do another Sunday and when it's on Sunday I have to edit and get it published before midnight. It's a struggle bus, but as the day went by today, yeah, you were around me all day while I was doing some chores and it seemed like that flame that I saw for the podcast. I don't know if you just built up, built me up by talking about it and then, now that it got closer and now it's like you were being mean to me, so you lost points, yeah that flame has fizzled.
Speaker 2:You built up some points and then you lost them.
Speaker 1:I don't even see an amber. Nothing's glowing. If it was dark right now. I don't see orange in that fire, it's out.
Speaker 2:I'm out.
Speaker 1:So what did you help me do today?
Speaker 2:Work on your trailer.
Speaker 1:Work on my trailer. You watched me work on my trailer.
Speaker 2:I watched you work. Well, I had something to do. I got a nail party going on tonight, so I was getting it ready. So I mean I sat out there with you while you worked on your work trailer.
Speaker 1:Up on the roof of it.
Speaker 2:I sat in the truck and now my legs were out of the truck. I sat in the passenger seat facing my legs outside, and the top of my legs got burnt, not the bottoms of them you know the top of them.
Speaker 1:You know it's crazy, like if you were to lay out to get sun your thighs have always got my thighs, that's get sun but the rest of your legs so now I'm gonna have to self tan and make it look, not that anybody's gonna see my thighs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that ain't where I want the sun.
Speaker 1:Is self-tanning a popular thing?
Speaker 2:Yes, let me ask you. I think it's more popular now.
Speaker 1:Okay, I know people do lay out. I think there's less people that lay out now Is tanning beds. I know they still have tanning beds, but I'm just saying is that a thing of the past or is that still really popular?
Speaker 2:I don't know. I like to go to tanning beds, but I don't like to go to tanning beds because I don't want to get that cancer stuff.
Speaker 1:Is that a for sure?
Speaker 2:thing I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean there's no difference in anything else that we do in life Than laying out in the sun. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, we used to put your self-tan's better. I used to put like a baby oil on, like my arms sometimes.
Speaker 1:What do we used to put on your hair? Sun in, sun in. Yeah To give you some blonde. Yeah, I remember that, fabio. Do they still do that? Can you still buy sun in?
Speaker 2:I don't know if you can or not. Times change and then I don't pay attention. Let me get you some next week on grocery order no no, no, will it cover this gray? It might, it might make it shine that would like be horrible.
Speaker 1:Let's not do that. But no, I was just wondering if um tanning beds were, because you can kind of tell people that do tanning beds, especially on the off season, like when it's not summer yeah people are dark. But uh, what about the self tan? What about the spray tan? You know when?
Speaker 2:you've never gotten a spray tan. But I asked brandy, my friend, if she had ever gotten one. I thought about getting one, but I don't know. I've said I've seen several ladies. They look real good, but I don't know. I self-tan at home with my company. I work for now, so I just hate to take the time to do it.
Speaker 1:The stuff is green, is it not, when it's in the bottle?
Speaker 2:Yeah, when you spray it on your tanning mitt it looks a little green. And you put it on your legs but it's not.
Speaker 1:Or you say it looks good, so you put it on a mitt and you just rub it wherever you want to tan and, if you like, don't rub it in good, or if you miss a spot, it's very noticeable, or can you get by with I don't know, sometimes you can get by with it, just depends you need a kabuki brush no clue what that is drink it.
Speaker 2:Get you another sip of your Pepsi there, hold on, hold on. Okay, kabuki brush is a little brush that blends it out.
Speaker 1:Hmm.
Speaker 2:How do we get on tanning pots? Too high tech for me?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I just used to laugh. So, leading up to that, what's the pros and cons of living on the lake? I don't know.
Speaker 2:I can probably think of more cons than I can pros. I can think of I don't like the cold weather when it's cold. It's cold out here because the wind blows.
Speaker 1:So when it's wintertime, it's. It's horrible, it's colder here, because you never know about the wind. It can be blowing what seems like 30 miles an hour, and then when you leave the house, the wind is not blowing anywhere else.
Speaker 2:So it's just here, then in the summertime it's too crowded. I don't like all the hooping and hollering that goes. So springtime, right about now, is probably good where we can go outside and there's still not many people here.
Speaker 1:So let's just do all the negatives first. It's cold, it's extra cold in the winter. It's windy I wouldn't say all the time, but there's a constant breeze most of the time, which any time when it's not summer, that's not pleasant.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I guess that's maybe all.
Speaker 1:Just the cold and the wind.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe so.
Speaker 1:The geese Geese have seemed to be more of a problem here lately.
Speaker 2:Why are they a problem?
Speaker 1:Well, you used to not see any geese and it seems like every year you're starting to see more and more. But I just say because they do flybys all the time.
Speaker 2:Flybys yeah.
Speaker 1:And they get in the yard sometimes, and then sometimes you open up the door and there's 30 of them in the yard and they're messy, they poop everywhere, even though the baby ones are, but it's funny to watch the dogs chase them. Yeah, We've got some videos of the dogs chasing after them and that honking noise they make. They're loud, Like if you wanted to sleep in on a Saturday morning or whatever. Sometimes.
Speaker 2:Like that alarm clock that went off this morning three times before you ever turned it off.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:I'm going to sleep in. I ain't even going to set an alarm. Brr, brr, brr, 6 o'clock. I'm like oh.
Speaker 1:Afraid I'm going to miss something. Got to get the day started.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:And that's sleeping late for me.
Speaker 2:I know it is, you know, because it's usually 3, 05. But it's not for me, yeah.
Speaker 1:So and I went to bed after it's like 11 30. Yeah, I started watching a movie. Yeah, I was watching a rebel moon on netflix. I made the mistake that I started watching the second one.
Speaker 2:I got like 15 minutes into that and yeah, why didn't you look to see if the first one was on there?
Speaker 1:well it wasn't, it wasn't trending, it didn't show like on new releases or whatever on there. And then last night it showed as trending. I was like oh my goodness. So I started watching the first one and got in, involved in it, at least I think the 30 minutes of it that I watched. You know, 20 minutes of that I was dozing but anyway, back to the pros living on the lake. Is there any?
Speaker 1:you can get in the water whenever you want to oh, I know some of the negative stuff, some of the wildlife you might see that you don't like yeah, that's a negative yeah but you could say that anywhere though yeah, and you would think you'd have more, you'd see more snakes living on the water, but we really don't, you know. And of course, the incident that we had with you getting bit by the copperhead that's just one of those things that could happen anywhere.
Speaker 1:I don't think the water had anything to do with that, but I very seldom see any kind of water snakes. But one of the pros is I feed catfish in the brim. Sometimes there's carp that come up. I've got turtles. I've got about 11 turtles that come up.
Speaker 2:We kayak before it gets busy yeah.
Speaker 1:Got ducks that I feed, I got all this wildlife that comes up and I take videos of all that and post it on YouTube, which is pretty cool. But yeah, we kayak, I try, and when the summer comes I try and kayak like four times a week and then you finally last year, you've really gotten into it and you've really enjoyed it. It's really good exercise as long as the wind's not blowing, and there was one incident last year when we went on.
Speaker 2:I think dock, we went too far. It was dock, we went too far.
Speaker 1:I try not to go when it's extremely hot and it was like 98 degrees or something and it was. I was really wondering if we were going to make it back alive going wasn't too bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were coming back.
Speaker 1:Well, we yeah, the good thing about it was we had a little bit of that breeze in our face coming back, but that also meant that we were going to be slower because we're fighting that wind but it being hot even though we did take water, it extremely it was bad to where I was. Like I don't know I might just hop up on one of these boat houses and walk up to these people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we do know people that lived. We passed by their house and I told Amanda. I said you think we could just get out, leave our kayaks at their house house and let them drive us home, because I don't know if we can do this.
Speaker 2:They would totally do it yeah.
Speaker 1:You know we've also seen. You know there's a plane that would land out here on the water.
Speaker 2:So we kayaked during the poker run last year. I'm sure not many people know what the poker run is on the lake.
Speaker 1:I'm not really sure, if I know it.
Speaker 2:They do it for charity, don't they?
Speaker 1:Yeah, a guy got killed on the water out here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and somehow they go to different boat docks and get cards.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's so many that's involved in it so you've got like a. I don't know how it works, I don't know exactly how it works. I guess you've got a map of what boat docks are involved in this and you drive, or I don't know if each person is supposed to go to specific houses or if you hit them all. I don't know, but it's pretty neat.
Speaker 2:We got in the middle of it and just watched them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bunch of boats, and we're in kayaks. It was smart. It wasn't too bad, though. We stayed up against the bank, yeah, but you know, one of the main houses had a uh fire department truck in their yard and had a big old flag yeah, I had the ladder all the way out and, uh, had the american flag of flying and I'm all about that, you know.
Speaker 1:You know that's what I say about the government. There's only one thing, or there's two things, I expect out of the government. One is our safety, and the other one is if they're going to give us anything free. I expect a flagpole and a flag. One free flag every year for every american citizen. That's all that I want from the government have you got that yet? No, I mean that's.
Speaker 1:I'm just in my head, that's what I'm saying I had to expect I don't want nothing from them, but I would say you're going to be proud to be in this country and we're going to give you a flag. What are you showing me there on that phone?
Speaker 2:I'm showing you that your boys are about to be home and you're probably going to hear some noise.
Speaker 1:Okay, you might want to text him. We got, nicholas went and picked up our pizzas for the night and he picked up his best friend and so they'll be home here in a minute and I didn't let him know that we'll be recording so we've got to give them a heads up so they don't hoop and holler when they walk in the house.
Speaker 2:We should have Josh on here one day and he can play the guitar. Yeah, he can sing for us.
Speaker 1:Nicholas' friend, Josh. He's learned the guitar he sings. He's learned the guitar he sings. He's gotten really good. He'd do it.
Speaker 2:I'm taking some days off next week. I think we should take off from the podcast.
Speaker 1:Or maybe.
Speaker 2:I should just start recording and you can just splice it together.
Speaker 1:You know, every week, when we're about to do this, that's the first thing out of Amanda's mouth is we're going to take this week off.
Speaker 2:Skipping a week.
Speaker 1:I think we're not skipping a week he won't let me off. No, he's a slave driver just a little bit of effort, that's all I want.
Speaker 2:Just a little bit of effort you always want me to come up with something to talk about. I don't know what to talk about.
Speaker 1:I just want some ideas.
Speaker 2:I can talk about nails all day long speaking of this tiktok thing I want to get going.
Speaker 1:Speaking of nails, I don't know any of the fellas out there and I don't know if we've talked about this before, but does anybody's wives their toes? Can they be maneuvered like fingers? Because Amanda's toes can move in all, all kinds of directions? I've never seen anything.
Speaker 2:It's amazing jody cannot move his toes at all. I can't I can move my. You act like I'm.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can, but I'm like I can't physically like I can hold.
Speaker 2:You know how you hold hands. I can hold feet like you hold hands. I can hold my own feet that's strange I can pick up stuff. I can pinch you too you very.
Speaker 1:I think you can pinch harder with your toes and you can with your thumb and index finger. My granny taught me well I don't think that's a learned art, though I think you're born with that right there, because, like I can't tell myself, like I can cross my toes see I can cross my big toe over my second toe. It's unbelievable what I'm seeing right now. I can do backwards.
Speaker 2:I can cross the second toe over the big toe.
Speaker 1:I feel like I need Guinness' Book of World Records here right now to see what I'm witnessing.
Speaker 2:All right, let's stop talking about feet.
Speaker 1:Somebody will want some pictures of it and I'll have to sell some pictures. You're right, I could make us some money, though I bet I could make us some money. What pictures of your feet? Yeah, yeah, we'll just stay away from that Freaky yeah, but yeah I always thought. I just wondered if there's other people you know with that ability or disability, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, my granny could.
Speaker 1:Well, apparently it's handed down generation after generation, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think my mama could.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:I think so.
Speaker 1:Do y'all like to sit around and discuss toe stuff?
Speaker 2:When I was little, I stayed with my granny a lot, and so she was in this little apartment and I always slept with her and she would always pinch me, so she would just start showing me. She started showing me how to do it.
Speaker 1:That's kind of mean, ain't it?
Speaker 2:It was mean, she was not mean.
Speaker 1:I know when Nicholas was younger was his middle two toes, were they not kind of webbed?
Speaker 2:They're webbed. Yeah, he has webbed toes. Yeah, Not bad no they're not bad at all, not like a duck, no, not that.
Speaker 1:But are they still like that?
Speaker 2:I ain't looking at them, feet, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know either. I just wondered, now that we're talking about that, what else you got.
Speaker 2:I don got nothing.
Speaker 1:Hey, let me ask you this right here.
Speaker 2:Here we go. Here's Jody's questions. Yeah, I'm gonna ask you some questions. We're gonna go questions today, guys.
Speaker 1:How do you feel about pranks?
Speaker 2:I don't like them. I like to watch them, but if you do them to me I'm gonna get mad at you.
Speaker 1:So you would prefer to? Well, I mean, if you don't like them, does this person?
Speaker 2:I don't want to be involved in them.
Speaker 1:So would a prank be considered something like a boo, a jump out at you?
Speaker 2:No, that's a scare. You do it all the time and you make me so mad I'm going to punch you one day.
Speaker 1:So a prank wouldn't be like if I told you to go out and get something and then when you came back in, I scared you because I was. I don't know, maybe I would do that.
Speaker 2:I like scaring you I know and I know you're there it's fun scaring you.
Speaker 1:Hey, let me tell you something last night so last night we had to, uh, paint, we had to. I think we talked about this last week. We're trying our children's department at church. We are painting and it's been a long process, several, several weeks, and we've just helped on the tail end of it. But two days this week we've gone down there and helped Tuesday night, which was several hours long, and then last night we finished it up. And as we're leaving, we have these birds. They're called barn swallows and I don't know if you've ever been anywhere that you'll see. There's just these birds. They'll just dive, bomb you. They build these little nests or like little mud nests, I don't know what you call them.
Speaker 2:Mud huts. Mud hut. I don't know, for some reason that came to my mind, but I don't know why.
Speaker 1:some reason that came to my mind, but I don't know it did mine too, but I didn't want to say it because I said that ain't right you know me, I'll just say it.
Speaker 2:Who cares?
Speaker 1:so at night they like don't just perch on anything and you get close to them. So one of them was on the outside light of the, the main door going into our children's department, and it's dark, and I looked up and I saw it and I was like you know what, I can reach up there and I think I can grab that. And that's what I told amanda and and jania and uh, when I went to reach it and I almost had it, it flew off and it flew towards jania and I had I wouldn't have done this if I'd known jania, apparently, was deathly scared it's not a lot of birds yeah, she freaked out I'm talking like screamed, or I figured somebody probably called 9-1-1 because they heard a lady you know screaming for help in the distance.
Speaker 1:But it was so funny, so so funny. But yeah, I don't, I don't like pranks. I would love to pull a prank on somebody but I don't think I would, just for the simple fact that I do not want a prank pulled on me, because I wouldn't be a good sport about it. You think?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're not a good sport, you don't?
Speaker 1:think I'd be a good sport.
Speaker 2:No, not at all Nicholas don't like when you scare him. I scare Nicholas and he gets so mad so mad Fighting man, so mad fighting man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't blame them though, but but I don't think I would do many scares or anything now because I, I feel of because of our age, I don't want to give anybody a heart attack. You know, that always crosses my mind. Now, if I you know, scare somebody. That'd be terrible. All right, let me ask you this how many unread emails do you have currently?
Speaker 2:57.
Speaker 1:You just know that number.
Speaker 2:Yes, because I hate that little number on my phone and I just looked and I'm like, oh, I got to check my emails.
Speaker 1:So you're right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 57.
Speaker 1:You know what's funny 57. I've got 58. Is that not funny?
Speaker 2:Yeah 57.
Speaker 1:I've got 58. Is that not funny, yeah. So what do you prefer? What's better for you and what do you prefer? Texting, calling or emailing?
Speaker 2:Texting. I don't like you to call me because I hate-.
Speaker 1:Oh fine, I won't call you again.
Speaker 2:I hate holding the phone. If I'm at work, you call me on my cell phone and I hate holding the cell. If I'm at work, you call me on my cell phone and I hate holding the cell phone to talk. I'm I would now. I'll talk if you call the landline what do you mean?
Speaker 1:you hate holding the I hate, I don't know just holding it up to your ear yeah, I don't because you don't mind holding in that hand all day long, looking at it at at work.
Speaker 2:I have this thing on my phone that I can just prop it on my shoulder and I can still type and work and all that, and I just don't. I don't know. I don't like talking on the cell phone, I like talking on a landline better. But how many people still have landline?
Speaker 1:I know nobody does you know at your house, your mama does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I think your older people do?
Speaker 1:yeah, I probably would.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think your older people do.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I probably would.
Speaker 2:Why I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 2:I think to me it would be. You got rid of it a long time ago.
Speaker 1:But it's kind of like if say, like my cell phone or provider, if we decided to change and go with another one, I wouldn't do it because I don't want to change my number. It's a hassle. Well, I don't want to change my number, you can take your number with you. Are you sure about that? Yep, joshua did, is that? Uh, just a new thing last few years no, or it's always been like that. I don't think you've always been able to carry your number with you.
Speaker 2:I think so. When we changed my dad's over, he carried his number oh did he?
Speaker 1:I did not know that. Let me move that mic over a little bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we should make some noise there.
Speaker 1:I know right how come sometimes, when you write a word, it doesn't look right, you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:That's all the time. That's all the time for me.
Speaker 1:So what do you do when it doesn't look right?
Speaker 2:I text it to somebody. That's exactly Most of the time you.
Speaker 1:That's what I do, which I don't. I don't send it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't send it, but I go to my text and I go in there and I type it in just to make sure it's right. Or if I'm typing on the computer um, I love the computer because it underlines it in red, then you click on it and it shows you the right way how lazy are we oh no I mean, that's, that's the problem.
Speaker 1:That's why we can't learn anything, because we have things that fix anything we have.
Speaker 2:At my age. Now I like it.
Speaker 1:You know, that's what they said too about imagination. Stuff like that is going away because we've got our technology, now that we can Google it.
Speaker 2:It's that AI. Yeah, because you can do anything with that AI. You just go in there and yeah, I writing on um facebook and then I can go click ai and it'll rewrite it if I want it exciting, it'll make it more exciting so facebook has that?
Speaker 1:yep, so I have. You know, I have a facebook account but very seldom do I get on there.
Speaker 2:I never get on there, just scroll and see so my job is I work at the church, the administrative assistant, and so, like I create the bulletins and kind of stuff like that. So I created in this um program called Canva. Well, you can do AI in Canva too. It'll rewrite your. It'll rewrite, write whatever you've written. So that's what I do, that all the time, because I know what I want to say and what I want to say is not correct and it'll fix it and it'll look, it'll sound better do you mean let the people out out there in the podcast world know a little secret?
Speaker 2:oh no about this.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's not good well, you know what I'm gonna say. So there's an AI program that we use through this podcast that generates five titles for the episode that we can pick from if we want to, and it also writes a three paragraph description about the whole episode.
Speaker 2:So do kids use that for school too? Yes, they do, teachers have got to know that too.
Speaker 1:But it's amazing because when I download an episode within five minutes, bam how does it do? It. You know what it also does it writes the transcript of every word that we say, which is scary for me because I talk so country.
Speaker 2:How does it do it? I don so country. How does it do it? How is it noted?
Speaker 1:It writes every single word that we say, puts it in the speaker, one speaker, two form, and then the titles, and then the three paragraph description and a few other things, and it's like, wow, so that's my little secret.
Speaker 2:So Jody's not that creative when y'all see that out there.
Speaker 1:So if you read the description, you see all those big words.
Speaker 2:How many people read the description?
Speaker 1:There's several.
Speaker 2:Nah, I think they read the first sentence or two to see what it's about.
Speaker 1:Listen, there is people, there is.
Speaker 2:There are people out there that that's why we have AI. They'll fix that.
Speaker 1:That's right that go in and they don't listen to the podcast, they read the transcripts of these podcasts. So we're one it's called Podcast Notes that we're a part of and you can go in there and we've got some and it's called a download, even though it's not really a download.
Speaker 2:Well.
Speaker 1:I guess it is, but we've got several listeners or downloads off of Podcast Notes, so people do it. I couldn't do that. I cannot understand. I've even tried to read what we've said and it's very confusing to me to try and keep up. So I don't know how anybody can just choose to do that. I don't know, it's just something I couldn't do, and maybe that's like watching the movie or reading the book of something. You know, I don't know if I could read the book of something, I'd rather watch the movie now, when I do make my tiktok videos, I use captions because you know more people what is it?
Speaker 1:what do you mean? Captions captions.
Speaker 2:So you put captions on there and it writes out what you say oh, yeah, yeah so more people are listening to it in silent or watching in silent, and if you have it on your screen, then they they'll stay instead of just scrolling if you don't have that yeah, that's what I was going to say is because, if I've ever been on there before, you turn it down to where you can't, yeah, and if I don't.
Speaker 1:yeah, I don't have the volume up and I'll read it as long as it's not going too fast, you know. You know there's some speeds that hey, especially like on these movies, when they put like a paragraph on there telling you when a movie starts, you know what it's about and it's like you have to speed read, yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not a speed reader.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's like you're halfway through the paragraph and then it goes off. You're like what? So you might have to rewind it and pause it, so you can read it off. All right, this question right here. I'm kind of afraid to ask it, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Speaker 2:You're going to get fired.
Speaker 1:No, you'll enjoy it, I won't enjoy it. At what point in your life do you lose your fashion sense?
Speaker 2:Oh, yours is gone.
Speaker 1:That's what I was afraid you'd say.
Speaker 2:Yours has been gone. I try, and I try, and I try.
Speaker 1:But why do you say that? My fashion's, I think I'm not wearing.
Speaker 2:How many old men wear slides and socks?
Speaker 1:You say old men, I'm not that old. I am 48. For anybody that doesn't know. So if you're in your 20s, you would consider me old. I am 48 for anybody that doesn't know. So if you're in your 20s, you would consider me old. But if you're like in your 40s, I'm not old.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Well, you know what? You're pretty close to my age, so if I'm old, you're old.
Speaker 2:There's four years difference. Okay, so what about?
Speaker 1:Okay, I think you crossed your eyes when you did that and dotted my teeth yeah, I'm not looking at you.
Speaker 2:You did something, you did something oh yes, last week I done the wrong noise for the movie. For what movie was we?
Speaker 1:talking about bill and ted's excellent adventure and you went and that's not that, that's wayne's World, no, that's Wayne's World.
Speaker 2:You texted me and said that's Wayne's World. What made you think of that? Did you look it up?
Speaker 1:No, it just hit me. I was going down the road because it bothered me, because when you did it I was like what is that off of? But I didn't know at the time right or wrong.
Speaker 2:So diddly-lid, diddly-lid, diddly-lid is Wayne's World. Yeah, not.
Speaker 1:Sounds just like it too.
Speaker 2:What is it?
Speaker 1:Bill and.
Speaker 2:Ted's Excellent Adventure. Oh yeah, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because they just said excellent right.
Speaker 2:Excellent. Oh yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1:Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It ain't worth remembering either way. Yeah, I, so I don't have New Balance white shoes.
Speaker 2:If they were on sale, you would get them.
Speaker 1:So I haven't lost my fashion sense yet I wear hey Dudes. Is that losing your fashion sense?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:I wear stylish boots from time to time. Have I lost my fashion sense?
Speaker 2:You say they're stylish.
Speaker 1:Well, tell me what I've lost.
Speaker 2:If you're over there saying I'm old and I've just lost it, your slides, just get me and Nicholas both.
Speaker 1:All right. So you say slides, no socks.
Speaker 2:No, no slides at all. I say slides, flip flops.
Speaker 1:But it's got to be black socks, no white socks. I just had a conversation on my other podcast with two other guys. Anyway, the guy on there, we jumped on one of the guys because he's cheating on me. Yeah Well, I'm not cheating, because I told you.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:So it's an open relationship. When it comes to podcasts. He wears white socks all the time, no matter what. Now they're not knee-high, but I'm just saying white socks and I'm like I don't own a pair of white socks, and the other guy didn't? He Josh and Spencer. Spencer doesn't wear or own white socks either, I think that makes a big difference.
Speaker 2:Y'all used to. Oh yeah, when it was A long time ago.
Speaker 1:Because that was fine. Things change and you go with the changes. Right, kind of. I don't wear jeans with all the holes in them, like everybody. That, to me, is the stupidest thing ever. You don't like my jeans with holes. I love the jeans that you wear, I just don't like everybody else's. How about that? I'm not going with a trend like that. I'm not going with a. I mean, I'm not going with a trend like that. I'm not going with the with the fanny pack over the shoulder that women wear, even guys wear. What's it called?
Speaker 2:That's a sling.
Speaker 1:Sling bag.
Speaker 2:That's a crossbody.
Speaker 1:Crossbody. Don't men wear crossbodies too? Some?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 1:Okay, guess what I'm not. I'm not going for it.
Speaker 2:You wear a fanny pack. I do not wear a fanny pack you would.
Speaker 1:You know what I like the idea of a fanny pack, but there's no way that I could wear a fanny pack. Nothing against people that wear them, that's fine. I just don't think I could pull it off. But I do like the convenience of the way it would be.
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 1:You know I might, would wear one if I could wear it under my shirt, and it'd be like tucked away.
Speaker 2:That would be uncomfortable. Well, it might be.
Speaker 1:But yeah, you could just put all your stuff in there. That would be new. I love it. It almost be like a man purse, but it's just attached to you, to your waist, hmm. So anyway, back to the slides. I like slides. I used to wear flip-flops. I've done away with the flip-flops and I just throw these slides. If I'm going outside, I throw a pair of my slides on, except, you know, my slides did cost me one time. You know what I'm about to talk about yes, what another fire story?
Speaker 2:a fire story another oh, have we not talked about the other one? No, oh my bad.
Speaker 1:Next week join us well, I'll have to think about if I can even talk about that other fire story, because it might be too soon okay talk about it because it's anyway. So yeah, I was burning leaves and all that a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1:And we got a sweet gum tree and you know it's those little balls, little spiky balls, that fall off there, anyway. So the fire is on just a little bit of an incline or whatever, and I was walking by right there and I stepped on one or a few of those little sweet gum balls and I fell sideways when my elbow went straight down into the fire and it was. It wasn't. The fire wouldn't go and all it was was hot ash, I mean. But it was bad enough though. Yeah, but when I I got out of it about as quick as I got in into it all because of the slides all because of the slides.
Speaker 2:I slipped and slid slides had no traction yeah, and so I'm looking at three pair of slides right now in this room. That's right. Three pair of slides, want two of them.
Speaker 1:One of them is outside slides, the other pair is I wear here and there and the other ones are my newest and I just wear them occasionally, so anyway. So I burned my arm. Didn't really realize it was that bad. I came inside and told you so hey, just letting you know I burnt my arm. It ain't really it's fine all that, but by that night it already was bad it was bad, bad and it took a while. We were actually putting something.
Speaker 2:The wrong stuff on it or something we were putting triple ointment. And they said not to.
Speaker 1:And then we found out because that was making it worse and it looked horrible. It's like the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2:That's not the worst burn I've seen my dad back when I was a teenager. My stepmom was cooking and she had left the grease in an iron skillet on the stove and it caught a fire. He just grabbed that thing and chunked it out the door and all that grease came back on his arm. Oh, that was bad. So it just got all over his arm, hand, arm yeah, hand and arm, and he had to go have it debrided the excuse me you know where they take all the dead skin off yeah it's called something.
Speaker 2:Oh, that looks so bad it's still. Have you not seen the scars?
Speaker 1:I've never paid attention.
Speaker 2:No, I guess he's got bad scars from that. That was bad, that was scary.
Speaker 1:All right, let me ask you maybe one more, all right Are bumper stickers a thing of the past?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't like bumper stickers.
Speaker 1:I'm not asking you if you like them, but I'm just asking. To begin with, what do you think? Are they a thing of the past? Do you see many of them? No, we've transitioned, I think, from the bumper sticker.
Speaker 2:To the window cling.
Speaker 1:To the window Window Window.
Speaker 2:Cling.
Speaker 1:Cling, cling, cling. Is it not a sticker? Window sticker I don't know. What's a cling?
Speaker 2:A cling you can take off. A sticker's gonna stick on there and you're not gonna be able to just take it off.
Speaker 1:I know what a sticker is.
Speaker 2:A window cling is a.
Speaker 1:Like a static thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You sure Kind of thing, have you got any on yours?
Speaker 2:No, I don't think so.
Speaker 1:So what is it that I've got on mine?
Speaker 2:You got vinyl on yours Vinyl.
Speaker 1:I have a big old vinyl American flag on my whole back glass. God bless America Patriotic. If you're not patriotic, you're un-American.
Speaker 2:What are you? You're un-American, get out.
Speaker 1:That's all I got to say. Say yeah, I bet we'll get on that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's don't get you on that.
Speaker 1:But I just noticed that the other day. I was like you know, do they even make bumper stickers? I don't know they make them, but do you really see them? And is it because we've transitioned from that real steep, hard metal bumper to where everything's plastic and now we just feel we have to put it on? Are we trying to get it more eye level? Is that what we're doing?
Speaker 1:I don't know all right, this is my last question. Do you flash your lights at oncoming traffic if you pass a cop that's on the side of the road doing like checking for speed?
Speaker 2:Nope, I don't.
Speaker 1:Just like that.
Speaker 2:You shouldn't be speeding.
Speaker 1:You're not going to give anybody a heads up.
Speaker 2:No, so, okay, I used to, but then I heard it so like if it was a roadblock or something and you're giving somebody that's drinking and driving, you're giving them a heads up why they need to get to that so the cops can get them off the road.
Speaker 1:What are you talking about? I'm just talking about there's a cop set up on the side of the road.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and if somebody's drinking and driving, then no, I just don't give them a heads up.
Speaker 1:Because I feel like All right, I just feel like. So the three or four cars that you might pass after you've passed why you gotta give them a heads up.
Speaker 2:They shouldn't be doing nothing.
Speaker 1:Can I talk?
Speaker 2:You didn't get a heads up when you got.
Speaker 1:Can I talk? Can I talk?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:So the cop on the side of the road, you pass them. So maybe the three or four cars that you're gonna pass, and I don't you know. There's a point too that you get so far, if you do shine your bright lights, that people are letting them know. You know you get to a certain point so far away that you kind of stop because you're not giving them that heads up anymore. But so out of those four cars, you're thinking that one of those or all those might be drunk drivers.
Speaker 1:You never know, but don't you think it's like your civil duty to?
Speaker 2:I don't.
Speaker 1:Or civic duty.
Speaker 2:I don't. Why do you think that? Why do you think you should?
Speaker 1:Well, I love cops. I know you do, but I also love my neighbor and I'm like, hey, we're in this together, you shouldn't be speeding true, but hey, if I can save them 200 on a test.
Speaker 2:Shouldn't cheat on the test what is it they say?
Speaker 1:if you ain't cheating, you're cheating yourself I never heard that one. I just heard that a few days ago. That one, no, we just heard that made that one upard that at church, by the way.
Speaker 2:Wow, let's keep names out of this.
Speaker 1:Oh, that wasn't the sermon, that was just an offside talking. So, yeah, I can't believe you. I don't what if I'm coming, you're not even going to give me a heads up.
Speaker 2:No, I just wave at you and go on by.
Speaker 1:That's pretty sorry.
Speaker 2:I know I'm the best.
Speaker 1:Well, how about that?
Speaker 2:How about that?
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 2:We done.
Speaker 1:Anything else? Yeah, I know you're over there counting the minutes.
Speaker 2:Well, we got food out there and I'm ready to eat, I know. I didn't cook this week, but we did this right here this week. No, we have not been home. I know like I planned my meals because we weren't. I didn't even buy groceries, so we had d now last weekend which is explain what that is, because, in case people don't know, discipleship like training yeah, kind yeah, where our youth go to different houses.
Speaker 2:I mean they stay at somebody's house and they do Bible lessons, and so I didn't cook any that weekend because we were going to be at the church. So we had food Sunday. What did we do Sunday?
