Well, buckle up, because we're unpacking all the laughs and crafty secrets behind swapping out Easter bunnies for a burst of patriotic stars.

Oh my goodness I've got to be happy. Jody said don't be a snoot. I've got to be happy. Jodi said, don't be a snoot.

Speaker 1:

I made that word up. You scared me over here. I was not expecting that. Ha, we always kind of look at each other and be like who's going to go first? And she kind of put her finger up in the air and said me Now I'm done. And then scared me. So what's going on, miss Excitement?

Speaker 2:

Nothing.

Speaker 1:

Nothing.

What we got out now.

Speaker 1:

What day is this? We're in May. What did? We put out now but it was really, but remember it wasn't really Easter, it was, you said, spring bunnies.

Speaker 2:

I said it was not Easter. Mm-hmm, did you hear me whistle?

Speaker 1:

I did.

Speaker 2:

You say people don't whistle was that a burp?

Speaker 1:

I just heard it was.

Speaker 2:

You forget where he is at for a minute that's that jack salad, excuse me folks I don't, people do whistle one time we talked about whistling, you said women don't whistle yeah, that's I don't. I never hear women whistle all the time when I try to get coco in.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah but if you're just like bebopping down the road or shopping or something, are you whistling as you go down the aisle? No women, women don't do that.

Speaker 2:

I think women hum or sing yeah you know what we talked about anyway, got my easter stuff up, my spring stuff. What do we put out now?

Speaker 1:

we put up old glory stuff, american stuff, moral day stuff, fourth of july stuff, summer stuff, summer limer, limer limer lemon stuff. What's the deal with the lemon stuff? You've got like a little lemon tree and some little lemon signs. What does the sign say?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I forgot. You want me to go see.

Speaker 1:

No, because you won't come back, so you stay in put Bingo. We actually left the door open right here too, so I'm afraid that if I close my eyes for any extended period of time or turn my head, that you're going to be gone. I'm out of here. I'm gonna see uh earphones just dangling from the microphone and you've gone, bye-bye. We got two dogs in here tell them about my sign.

Speaker 2:

I hung up your sign, my sign. No, not my sign, my stars. What's the deal with my stars that I hung up?

Speaker 1:

so you've got a little. You got this little rope thing that's got wooden stars and beads.

Speaker 2:

What do you? What do you call it strong through it? A swag, yes, kind of like a swag thing. It's uh ray dunn so anyway. So the, the string, or shout out to ray dunn, if you want to sponsor us so listen.

Speaker 1:

so if you got, if you drill like a hole in the side of the wood stars, the rope is through it. I don't know what you call it, it's fed through it.

Speaker 2:

It's a swag.

Speaker 1:

Right, I don't know what swag is Okay, women do. Let's go. I remember you said swag the last time we talked about a mailbox that had Christmas on it.

Speaker 2:

You said it's swag, that's a mailbox swag, yeah, but I still don't. Friend Brandy's talking about what, me asking you if you know what things are.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, keep going I wasn't prepared.

Speaker 1:

We should have done that. Keep going. Sorry, brandy, maybe next episode, not this one?

Speaker 2:

Keep going. He don't know what a swag is. Keep going.

Speaker 1:

About the swag Finish your.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what's wrong with my stars, oh?

Speaker 1:

anyway, so they're blue and then painted on Really.

Speaker 2:

It's red, white and blue.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, they're painted with the USA, Mm-hmm. But how many is there five stars? No, there's two. It says USAA. The fourth star.

Speaker 2:

I have no idea why it says A-A.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the fourth star says A.

Speaker 2:

U-S-A-A. What's that commercial?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. That's what I got it from, though.

Speaker 2:

I know, me too. Internet insurance I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Something like that I don't know. Hmm, so anyway, but if you turn that star around backwards it's blank so I'll try to make it stay backwards. So we've got our first star in front of the U. That's blank. And the last one flipped around because if not it'd be blank. And then U, and then S, and then A and then A.

Speaker 2:

Makes no sense, right? You almost sound like you were spelling out something mean Blank. U.

Speaker 1:

Oh, blank U yeah Wow.

Speaker 2:

Hello blank, you, yeah, wow, hello folks.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, so yeah. So we hung that up. That's on the mantel, hanging off the mantel.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, all that stuff.

Speaker 1:

So now it I forgot to turn my stars on. Very patriotic now, in the living room and the first room, the foyer looking room, when you come into the house, Nice, I was looking at my flag though out there. Hey, let me tell you something On that other podcast I do Three Wheels, no Direction. Let me give the boys a shout-out, Spencer Josh.

Speaker 2:

Why do we have a podcast when all you want to do is talk about them?

Speaker 1:

No, I'm just. If y'all want to hear a podcast, three guys talking about stuff.

Speaker 2:

Guys want to hear a better podcast.

Speaker 1:

That's exactly what he just wanted to say what I'm saying is uh, I think it's episode 15. Maybe I gave my wife a very good shout out. That would be you, honey, about christmas gifts, the best christmas gifts, or what we you know could remember from the past, whether we were, were itty-bitty or whatever. So I mentioned our first Christmas. Tell the peoples what you got me on our first Christmas, explain the story, where we were at, where I was at, or whatever.

Speaker 2:

Pause, I got to answer a.

Speaker 1:

Pause. We'll be back, folks, and we're back. Tell the story, honey.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, sorry. I had to take care of some business. You know, I got so many businesses now that's right, I'm gonna be busy, busy, busy what happened today? On what tiktok?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Here we go. Okay, that's long enough Hold on, they're winding down.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, folks. Okay.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, first Christmas, oh yeah. So Jody always wanted a chocolate lab and I worked at a bank and I had a customer come in there that sold labs. This was when I was young. I would probably not buy a dog again. I would rather rescue a dog now instead of buying a dog. So this is when we were young. So you know, we were like 18. I was 18.

Speaker 1:

I was like 22.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I bought this chocolate lab, supposedly registered from this lady, and it was going to be ready right around Christmas time. So I don't remember how you were coming home and I wasn't, and I had. I got the dog and took her to your mom's. It was snowing. Oh yeah, it was snowing. So I went by your mom's and I was going to get the dog and come home, but in the meantime Jody had a truck, so we have to go across a bridge, so he was afraid that it was going to ice. So he came back to get me, or at least that was the story. We told him you need to come back and get me. And so he comes to his mom's house and I'm in his room and he comes back there and I have her in my hands and just the face that he makes. It was like the best thing ever. He's like this is what he said. He went. Is it mine?

Speaker 1:

I don't think I said it like that did I? Yes, you did A little bit deeper voice.

Speaker 2:

No, so that was it.

Speaker 1:

So what was it?

Speaker 2:

A chocolate lab, a chocolate lab, a chocolate lab.

Speaker 1:

And we named her Sadie Sadie.

Speaker 2:

I already named her Sadie, because that's what you said you always wanted.

Speaker 1:

Yeah Well, so I named the dog.

Speaker 2:

And then that was a big old.

Speaker 1:

Best dog ever, by the way. Best dog ever, sadie Got stole twice.

Speaker 2:

Got stole twice. Came back home.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, got stole, came back home. Yeah, he ended up 20, 25 miles away put a ad in the paper for a lost dog and she had gotten away from the people that had stole her. And she ended up at this lady's house and she just so happened to read the you know newspaper saying that you know lost all. So she called we had we. There's no way, this is our dog. But we went anyway and yeah, went all the way up there, you know, like 30 minute drive. And guess what? It was her that was crazy but she was.

Speaker 1:

I mean, labs are smart anyway, and she was a water dog. She wasn't any smarter. You know everybody's gonna say you know they got the best dog, so uh, but yeah, she was just a great dog one time she felt like jody don't really like water, he don't really like to swim.

Speaker 2:

One time she fell in the water. Don't really like water, he don't really like to swim. One time she fell in the water. I never seen Jody jump so fast in the water after her.

Speaker 1:

Well, this was wintertime.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and she was just a puppy. I mean she could swim, but she was really young.

Speaker 1:

I don't remember if she fell off the side of the boat dock or she jumped off the side.

Speaker 2:

I think she fell off. I think she fell off. I think she fell. Yeah, then after that, you couldn't keep her out of the water, though, oh yeah yeah, winter time she was.

Speaker 1:

She was out there swimming around crazy, didn't care yeah, smart, you tell you won't go for a ride and she goes. Stand beside the door of the truck waiting for you to open up and go, and she could open up a door, she could speak, she could you know all that stuff, good old Sadie. So yeah, so I told the boys that story. I didn't go into that great a detail.

Speaker 2:

Why? Because you didn't remember, no.

Speaker 1:

I didn't need that, we were just reminiscing.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, so my you did need that.

Speaker 1:

And my other story that I told them of a gift that you got me. Do you know what that was? Yes, that you got me.

Speaker 2:

Do you know what that was?

Speaker 1:

Yes, you do.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Well, tell the folks, since you know.

Speaker 2:

You tell them.

Speaker 1:

It's a flagpole.

Speaker 2:

We have a big old flagpole in our yard.

Speaker 1:

It was amazing A flag and a flagpole.

Speaker 2:

How long have we had that thing?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, but I would have never, never have thought, but I thought that was Like.

Speaker 2:

He always tries to guess his Christmas presents too, and most of the time he is right. He never, ever, guessed that one.

Speaker 1:

Who's going to guess? Unless you ask for this, who's going to guess that? That's what's in the box.

Speaker 2:

He always says he wants a flagpole. I'm putting a flagpole right in the middle of my yard. Yeah, I got him, didn't I?

Speaker 1:

You did. So guess what? Got a flagpole right in the middle of the yard Concrete. If I could have concreted in the ground that day Christmas Day I would have done it.

Speaker 2:

I think you did.

Speaker 1:

Well, I did a couple of days after.

Speaker 2:

I didn't have everything. I needed.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, that was a great, great gift. So how do we get on that?

Speaker 2:

I don't really know you talking about that other podcast. Uh, three wheels no direction, because you like it better.

Speaker 1:

So why don't you just go on three wheels, no direction. Every every monday and thursday, new episodes. Check it out anywhere and everywhere you listen to podcasts. No, I was no, so we were on what subject where we we were on. Then I changed and said oh, by the way, I gave you a shout out on the other podcast. What were we talking? That's what. That's how I led to the other podcast and these two stories. What were we talking about before that?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, rewind it and see.

Speaker 1:

Hmm.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what we're talking about.

Speaker 1:

What were we talking about?

Speaker 2:

Oh, because then you talk about your commission oh, yeah, I ticked off. Yeah, that's pretty fun. I just don't have many products to show yet explain that I don't understand what you're talking about.

Speaker 1:

When you're talking about products and tick tock, has something changed you?

Speaker 2:

can buy things off the tick tock, or you can get samples from tick tock and you just do videos about them.

Speaker 1:

Is that a new thing?

Speaker 2:

You could have done it, but you had to have 5,000 followers, and so I'm almost there. How do you get? And then they change it to 1,000. I'm like I could have done this two years ago. There's that Jack salad.

Speaker 1:

So what changed to where they're saying from 5,000 to 1,000?

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Why is there such a push now for that?

Speaker 2:

I don't know TikTok creators.

Speaker 1:

Some kind of advertisement that TikToks, you know, financially, I don't know. By doing this it's helping them out.

Speaker 2:

That's all that's in my algorithm now.

Speaker 1:

How do you get 5,000 followers? How do you get 1,000 followers? How do you get 100 followers? How do you get 100 followers? How do you get 10?

Speaker 2:

You just stay consistent and post and post and post and post and post and go live.

Speaker 1:

But you can't go live until you get like a certain amount, right A thousand.

Speaker 2:

Right so don't tell me that you can go to grow rooms.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my goodness, You're getting in deep now. What is a grow room?

Speaker 2:

It's where you're in there to make friends, and that's what people do, whoever it's where. You're in there to make friends, and that's what people do, whoever's in there. If you come in and you start talking or whatever, everybody's going to start following you, and then it's crazy, it gets wild.

Speaker 1:

When you say start talking. Are you seeing?

Speaker 2:

other people.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

One person will be live, and then you're just chatting in a chat.

Speaker 1:

So you're seeing messages going by yeah. So everybody's following each other, uh-huh, so it's kind of like on Twitter. It used to be, I think, a train or something. Where you just follow.

Speaker 2:

But I go back in there and unfollow some weird people, yeah.

Speaker 1:

They're everywhere, weird people I know.

Speaker 2:

So Is TikTok full some weird people. Yeah Well, they're everywhere Weird people, I know so.

Speaker 1:

Is TikTok full of weird people.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, tiktok is full of everything you just got to be careful, give me an example. It's, they're, they're. My DMs are loaded up with sugar daddies.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they want to give me all kinds of money.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

What do Really? Yeah, they want to give me all kinds of money. What are you waiting on? What are you waiting on?

Speaker 1:

Well, I've sent you the messages and you won't let me answer them, I may check too.

Speaker 2:

You really got to be careful. That's kind of creepy to me. I don't like that stuff.

Speaker 1:

But when you get these DMs, do you go to their page and check it out and see that they've got no followers, or yeah, and then that's when you know, it was just a bot in there whatever if if they don't have a bio, I don't follow them I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

Then you go in there and if you don't stay active, if you just follow people and you're not active, if you don't comment on videos they put or and stuff like that, then ai thinks you're a, thinks you don't. Ai thinks you don't participate, or thinks you're a bot so they don't push your stuff out. So it's real.

Speaker 1:

We got to hurry, because I got to do a live tonight, because I got to put my but.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying I don't understand the whole bot thing.

Speaker 1:

Patriotic nails on me. I don't understand that. Why are there bots? Is there somebody?

Speaker 2:

making bots? Yeah, like fake accounts, people are just. I say a bot, but it's just like.

Speaker 1:

Is it a person? When we say a bot, I'm always thinking it's not a real person. Yeah, but if it's not a real person, how is?

Speaker 2:

It's like a person just trying to like people will make two or three accounts and one of them is a scam account or whatever, and I don't know. I just know that I've met some good people on there. They're friends. Most of my customers are from TikTok.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I can tell it. I can tell it's starting. I wore my glasses all day today until I got home what do you mean?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

I wore my glasses all day today until I got home. What do you mean? It's starting Having to pull your crap back here and you can't see up here like I used to could.

Speaker 1:

Old eyes.

Speaker 2:

I got to be right here.

Speaker 1:

You got to find that happy medium you used to be anywhere. So now that means I can start getting some cute readers. Yeah, what's those glasses that?

Speaker 2:

you wear that, magnetize it, pop on pair I wear?

Speaker 1:

do they make readers? I don't know, but I'd rather just have dollar tree readers, just some oh yeah, yeah, you don't need nothing special but I can tell now, when I've been at the computer all day and like I'm back and forth and yeah, I've been having well, the readers I'm wearing right now, because you know I got like 10 pair but apparently I guess I shouldn't have wore these in a meeting at church oh yeah, you got the guys.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they said they're like tortoise shell well, they said it's leopard print it's not leopard.

Speaker 1:

I didn't think it would matter.

Speaker 2:

What does it?

Speaker 1:

matter. I mean because it's just a brown.

Speaker 2:

It's just brown yeah.

Speaker 1:

I mean it goes with everything right. Not that I care, but it's not like I've got a, it's red.

Speaker 2:

You did pick out red one time, did you not? I did. It wasn't a bright red, that was just something to throw in the truck.

Speaker 1:

I don't think they were on sale, because you can't get much cheaper than $2.

Speaker 2:

But I needed a pair for my truck. That's probably the only pair they had in that.

Speaker 1:

Hey, when the doctor tells you just go buy cheap readers and put them everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Jody went and bought cheap readers and put them everywhere.

Speaker 1:

I do what the doctor tells me, so there.

Speaker 2:

I mean they wear pizza out so I'm not in the mood for it. Thought I was in the mood for a salad. Got a salad from Domino's. I didn't know it was a prepackaged salad, so the lettuce don't look good.

Speaker 1:

But the lettuce doesn't look good because it's got today's date on it.

Speaker 2:

It's got today's date on it, so then I stopped at Jack's and I'm like, ooh, let's do a Jack's salad.

Speaker 2:

I can't say enough about it.

Speaker 1:

It don't matter how bad people think it is, it's a great country and even if we don't agree all the time, it's still a great country. Okay.

Speaker 2:

Okay, giving me that, look I'm just telling you.

Speaker 1:

Mr T was too.

Speaker 2:

I just thought I remembered a scene where he had a flag. I don't know.

Did he not wear American flag trunks? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of flags, we have flags to put on the front out there. Where are those? You know, they're like half circles.

Speaker 1:

I wanted to go outside.

Speaker 1:

Well, you shot me down when I was going to do it, when, are you going to learn?

Speaker 2:

I'm going to always do that, oh my goodness gracious, because I was.

Speaker 1:

I was going to get the fire pit going, I was going to get the chairs out there, I was going to take this equipment out there, and we was going to sit and have a good old time Ghetto time. See what you could. You might hear the mosquitoes on the microphone.

Speaker 2:

We are just pod during the day and you can just hear all the hooping and hollering.

Speaker 1:

Well, if I could get you to. I will podcast anytime you want to. That's the problem I can't get you to, so I'll just take what I can get. It's not much.

Speaker 2:

I'm trying.

Speaker 1:

I'm not, I'm not gonna when?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

You'll see something. I'm not looking at your toes. Oh, she's got her toes interlocked again.

Speaker 2:

And they're tanned.

Speaker 1:

Yeah that fake tan that fake tan.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's better than going to the tanning band ain't it no go.

Speaker 1:

It's called go outside and enjoy the sun.

Speaker 2:

Have I not been every weekend.

Speaker 1:

You can't get a tan if you're going, like for 30 minutes on a Saturday 30 minutes.

Speaker 2:

The last two weekends I've been out for two hours.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying you cannot go like once every seven days and expect to get a good tan.

Speaker 2:

Well, when it's raining?

Speaker 1:

No, it's not. It ain't rained a bit this week.

Speaker 2:

I work during the week. I can't sit out and get a tan. Sit out there on your own lunch and then go by Stanky.

Speaker 1:

No, it ain't that hot yet. You ain't gonna sweat. Walk around, walk in the sun.

Speaker 2:

I do, then I get scared. Then I start seeing all these stupid videos of all these no-shoulders and I get scared is there a bunch of snake videos going around right now? Really. Yeah, I've seen another one. James span put on something and the police officer is taking a big, getting a big one out of the um, what's that? Um, glove compartment of a car.

Speaker 1:

That's my fear how does that happen?

Speaker 2:

don't know, I just had to keep scrolling I couldn't do it.

Speaker 1:

So you know we've got this is my fear.

Speaker 2:

Why are we back on this Go?

Speaker 1:

away with it. Someone you know, we know from church, that had one in her car a couple of years ago. Remember.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

She went to a wedding at the beach.

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm and left her car parked.

Speaker 1:

Well, didn't she say, left her doors open?

Speaker 2:

No, was it not Okay? Doors weren't open?

Speaker 1:

I thought they were like out doing something, and just the doors were open, not saying you left them open overnight but I'm not saying that.

Speaker 2:

I just thought you know how I'll be out there doing it and my truck door will be open for a little while. I don't think it was I.

Speaker 1:

But anyway. So apparently she came home what like five or six hour drive, and apparently there was a snake in her car the whole time.

Speaker 2:

The whole time she drove.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and didn't know it until she got home. Was it a little while the next morning? Was it the next morning? The next morning she got, ooh.

Speaker 2:

She was parked in a field or something, maybe I don't know. That creeps me out. I get scared all the time, could you imagine that. Something touches my leg and I'm about throwing myself through the windshield.

Speaker 1:

That's the wreck that you just had Because I know you're going to have one.

Speaker 2:

I know.

Speaker 1:

I just hope you're not driving and I'm in there with you and something touched your ankle.

Speaker 2:

If you're in there with me, I'm probably going to be dead because I'm just going to jump out the door and you're going to keep rolling because you ain't going to know what happened.

Speaker 1:

I'll be driving, so hopefully we'll be okay.

Speaker 2:

You'll keep going and I'll be out the door. I'll just start screaming and the door's going to fly open and Jody's going to be going. What, what happened? She gone.

Speaker 1:

Amanda, I was looking for you.

Speaker 2:

I bet those boys are out there thinking they're so stupid oh they ain't got a clue what's going on in here they don't even know we're here.

Speaker 1:

I texted Nicholas and told him that you know we're recording, so don't? I knew when I sent him that text that when they walked in here he'd be knocking on this door or coming in here or saying something. You know just because I sent that. But oh, they're not paying. They're too busy looking at their phone and eating pizza right now.

Speaker 2:

You ain't going to have nothing.

Speaker 1:

You know I would think I've asked Nicholas, you know, if he wanted to record an episode or do a podcast or whatever, and they just don't have any interest.

Speaker 2:

It's because it's you.

Speaker 1:

But they listen to podcasts. I've even offered him and Josh to you know, hey, I'll hit this record button and y'all just record.

Speaker 2:

We'll let Josh get on here and play the guitar and sing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I told him he can take my place next week.

Speaker 2:

Okay, we're going to do a vote. You want Josh to sing and play the guitar next week.

Speaker 1:

I'd have to put a poll out there. Well, let's do a poll. I can't guarantee that I'll do it.

Speaker 2:

Because a poll. I can't guarantee that I'll do it Because you don't know how.

Speaker 1:

No, I didn't. I did one other one, but it never showed up. It said it was successful and all that. It was the Reesey Cup poll. I put it out there. But then you go into that episode and it's not showing up. So I don't know, Ain't no big deal.

Speaker 2:

Yep, alright, it's time to go, okay folks. Okay, it's time to go, that's what Amanda would say Okay folks, Okay folks. I guess we're out of here, Happy.

Speaker 2:

That's a bunch of hodgepodge of stuff, you know.

No good over there I'm going to be done, Do it again and see what happens. I won't come back. Three weeks I've been trying to get a light bulb. I'm just going to go do it myself. But you know the thing about it is, I'm going to go do it myself. If I want something done, just do it yourself.

Speaker 1:

You can't count on your husband, you'd think it'd be three weeks and still won't be done.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it will Because. I almost done it today.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, it'd be different if I'll go do it tomorrow. But you know what It'd be different if just drive at night where you're light. You have to have them on when it's raining. Well, you still got the LED roundness around it and all that stuff.

Speaker 2:

It looks stupid, because my little bulb is out.

Speaker 1:

You don't see it.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I do. I've noticed it every time I walk by the front right there.

Speaker 1:

But it's not on when you walk by the front.
