Ever wondered if you could pay someone in cats and ducks? Well, join us at scenic Studio Lakeside, where Amanda and I kick things off with some exciting news, including a brand new texting feature and a shout-out to our other podcast, "Three Wheels No Direction."

And you won't want to miss the tale of my ill-fated cookies and cream milkshake experience that painfully reminded me of my lactose intolerance.
We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about classic game shows like "The Price is Right" and "Wheel of Fortune," and indulging in the delicious daily food offerings from Shirley Britt, including her famous fruit mixture. Amidst the laughter, Amanda and I humorously debate the feasibility of paying a social media tech in cats and ducks, and the eternal question of whether being thirsty or hungry is worse. Our conversation takes a serious turn as we discuss the hot topic of cell phone restrictions for children, emphasizing the importance of active parenting and personal experiences with our own child, Nicholas.
The episode wraps up with Amanda and I delving into the challenges of parenting in the digital age, from the dangers of social media to setting gaming boundaries.

and we are back coming to you live on location from Studio Lakeside, outside the Rat House, and, oh, what a beautiful evening it is.
Speaker 1:Sure is Got my popcorn.
Speaker 2:Hush, I'm not done oh my gosh Stay over there.
Speaker 2:Before we get started, let me make a few announcements. First thing we now have the ability or you now have the ability to text us. Above each episode's description it says, I think, send us a text message. Just click on that and tell us whatever you want to tell us good or bad. I hope it's good. I need to hear from my minions, by the way.
Speaker 2:Number two when you get done listening to this podcast every Monday, hop on over to my other podcast, three wheels no direction. It's me, josh and spencer, talking a little bit about everything, and we have three episodes a week every monday, tuesday and thursday. Don't forget to hit that follow and give us a five star review. It really does help. I'm not just talking about the three wheels no direction, I'm talking about this, that and other also. Now let's get down to business and bring in the best part of this podcast. The prettiest thing out here on the water's edge, the woman I think I've been married to for 27 years and she says it's 26. The other part of this, that and the other, my wife, amanda, welcome in honey.
Speaker 1:Thank you. If you don't start plugging our podcast, we're going to go round and round. In these 26 years we've been married.
Speaker 2:If you would listen to the other podcast, you would hear me plug away.
Speaker 1:I listen every Sunday. It's my getting ready.
Speaker 2:I told Amanda when she got done eating her popcorn that we would start. Yeah, I got popcorn out here.
Speaker 1:I got my cherry Coke, I know, but you have been On my Sonic Ice.
Speaker 2:She really thought that she was going to be able to eat that popcorn while we recorded.
Speaker 1:I knew I couldn't eat it, and I told her no, I could eat it.
Speaker 2:No problem, because I told her one time I had a peppermint in my mouth, had no idea I was making as much noise as I was during the episode and it was bad, so no eating.
Speaker 1:I'm watching a show. I need popcorn.
Speaker 2:Drinking is allowed far away from the mic.
Speaker 1:I need popcorn, no gum and no candy. Well, you ate Reese's.
Speaker 2:I've made a rule that we try and do that before and after the episodes.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. And I also have decided— Look at that note with one head, one head like it has two heads.
Speaker 2:We're doing just like they do. But look at it, yeah, yep, I see it.
Speaker 1:It's funny, it's just like it's. I know.
Speaker 2:On the Reese's cups. I have figured out that if you unwrap them and have them like sitting on standby, nobody will ever know that you're eating, because it's the paper that makes all the noise.
Speaker 1:He hadn't bought me nothing to sit here and fiddle with. You got popcorn, we don't need to.
Speaker 2:Anyway. So what kind of week have you been having?
Speaker 1:Lordy must see what a week.
Speaker 2:I ate a cookies and cream milkshake and I'm struggling over here, Jody can have no more dairy, no more dairy for me. He is at that age, I am at that age, I am at that age and I knew I haven't had a milkshake in a long time because I struggled the last time I did and I chanced it this time and but his wife wanted to go get milkshakes that's right, and I wish and that's funny, my phone just goes off and starts talking.
Speaker 1:Let me cut that off.
Speaker 2:Yes, that would be, would be nice. There we go, thank you.
Speaker 1:That was weird. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:So I was trying to support you by getting a milkshake also.
Speaker 1:Right, I just asked we were going to town. Well, not to town.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not really.
Speaker 1:We're going down the road and I'm like let's just go get a milkshake, or will you take me to get a milkshake? And then the next thing I know, he said I think I'll get one too, and I'm like I don't think you should.
Speaker 2:But okay, yeah, you didn't like hold me back.
Speaker 1:Well, I can't stop you from what you want. So, oh, what was that? A bird? I think it was a bird, not a bat. I don, I think it was a bird, not a bat. I don't think it was a bat. Okay, it almost got me speaking of birds. Our birds are back bad at our church they are crazy.
Speaker 2:What are they called swans barn swallows?
Speaker 1:swallows, yeah swans. Where'd I get no?
Speaker 2:and you can't do anything about them because they're a protected bird, so you can't like, poison them well you don't want to poison them anyway, but I'm sure we'd like to get the shotgun after them every once in a while yeah, because they dive bomb you yes, but if you don't know what a barn swallow does, they make a mud nest and especially on like a brick wall in the corner, anywhere like that, and it attaches to it and they will make a nest.
Speaker 1:And that one we saw wasn't even in the corner it was just like oh, they perched on the side of the building, they perch everywhere and they will make a nest in a night. Well, that one we saw wasn't even in the corner, it was just like on the side of the building.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they perch everywhere and they flock around. They're ridiculous. I don't know why they're a protected bird, because there's a billion of them just in our county, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:A billion, a billion, a billion.
Speaker 2:Yes, you know, I've been reading, I've got it on and all that stuff. But for the lake up here I'm on a Facebook group page and I just keep seeing all these complaints where people are almost running kids over that's fell off of their little ride, things that are behind, what is those little? What I call them a floating recliner. Yeah, they say they're cutting other boats off and all that stuff and then when the kid falls off, you know the boat behind them, you know, almost runs them over. Anyway, I see a lot of complaints going on right now. They're talking about boat etiquette and all that stuff. People not knowing what to do. See do's that don't have the rider on the back watching the person that they're pulling. You know, and that's a law. You got to have somebody on the back watching the person that they're pulling. You know, and that's a law. You got to have somebody on the back watching.
Speaker 1:When they're pulling on a sea dew yeah.
Speaker 2:I believe that's in a regular boat also. Anyway, I just put that out there, since we're seeing so many or so much activity right now.
Speaker 1:I can't believe how much activity there's been this afternoon. I know, I know.
Speaker 2:I think it's because it's hotter. It seems like it's hotter than normal the last couple of weeks. It's really getting baked in.
Speaker 1:Last week we didn't have much activity though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we did. I don't know where you was at, I didn't think we did because we said Because it's later in the evening, I mean when it gets close to 8 o'clock people, there's not that many boats out there it's 722, and I've seen several several yeah, whatever, whatever. Anyway, what you got going on, what you want to talk about, I've had vacation bible school all week give us a uh 60 second summary, if that's possible 60 second summary yeah, we averaged 144 kids oh, that's awesome every day 11 11 families not churched that we will reach out to.
Speaker 1:That's awesome and some awesome helpers of our church that stepped up.
Speaker 2:A lot of volunteers.
Speaker 1:Taught these kids.
Speaker 2:A lot of teachers. Yeah, because all the volunteers aren't teachers, they're just.
Speaker 1:No, right, no, they're just leading them around, right.
Speaker 2:Everybody does their part, though, yeah.
Speaker 1:Everybody's got an important part. It's a lot of moving parts.
Speaker 2:That's exactly right, especially like when they drop the kids off.
Speaker 1:No, I did not Wow.
Speaker 2:When they drop the kids off and when they pick them up.
Speaker 1:That makes me nervous when they pick them up, because the kids just go running and I'm standing there with the microphone trying to say go, sit down until I call your name hey, tell them uh what happened. They don't like to do that what happened?
Speaker 2:I think tuesday the school across, oh yeah this um school across from us.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't think it was a necessarily that school, I think it was just. The county got some kind of call so they just put the schools on high alert. I don't know what kind of call, but yeah, so we.
Speaker 2:So was it like a lockdown.
Speaker 1:I don't know that it was a lockdown. They just put them on high alert. You know we have a reading program and stuff still goes on during at school during the summertime. So I don't know, summer school and then our elementary has a reading program, so we had kids over there and then we had kids at the church all week. So we kind of locked them down too. But that was exciting. You just never know what's going to happen. And we got boats going on, we got ducks coming up, we get sidetracked when we're out here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was just taking a little video right here I know these ducks while you're talking. So I can uh, put it out there and let everybody know what we're looking at that's what we've been doing all week.
Speaker 1:I would get the money that the kids would bring every day and count it and it is going. The mission that they um done this year was to the soup kitchen in Honduras at our other church that we have over there in Honduras, and the kids raised $600 and $660 maybe $600,. That's a lot I would have never thought that that's enough to feed kids for six months.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:For half a year. Yeah, $100 a feed.
Speaker 2:So that's dedicated to what? To our planted church down there, a program that they have, the soup kitchen, the soup kitchen.
Speaker 1:Do you know?
Speaker 2:anything about that, like how it works, like once a week, once a month?
Speaker 1:I don't Every night. I don't, you'd have to have Steve Rowe on here.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, steve is in.
Speaker 1:Harvard Shout out to Steve Rowe they just got back. Oh, did they? Okay, they got back Wednesday.
Speaker 2:Okay, so they've been, but they've been in there. What? Nine days? Seven days?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not sure. Either way a week, yeah, a week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they just got back. We'll get to hear hear their report of what are they doing. So that's exciting. Maybe I missed it. The soup kitchen did. Was it just for kids? Did they raise money just to try and feed kids, or is it?
Speaker 1:just for kids. I can't remember what they said. Okay, so today was the biggest money day and them kids brought in bags and bags of change that's good and I'm like you know if you had a I'll give. I'll give you 20 if you just count it and bring it rolled. So I ain't gotta roll it oh, do you?
Speaker 2:are you gonna have to roll it?
Speaker 1:yeah, I had to roll it, I had to count it because I had to give them a total, because then whoever won got a pie in the face. The other person got a pie in the face oh, I forgot about that yeah, so anyway, back to the Honduras thing.
Speaker 2:You know, if you had a video to show these kids what they did, they did have a video.
Speaker 1:Okay, they had videos and pictures. They had pictures. I know I don't know about video.
Speaker 2:So they could see where their money's actually going.
Speaker 1:A hundred pounds of rice and a hundred pounds of beans. It showed that. So yeah, they got to see where it goes. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a fishing community down there where the men go out during the day and fish and then come back in in the evening. I remember the time when I was down there that day a guy got struck by lightning. Did I tell you that?
Speaker 2:Maybe, yeah, waiting. He was like a little shed thing waiting on. I think he was waiting on the man to come back in. He's waiting right there on the beach, on the side of the beach, when a storm, storms roll in, oh my goodness. Like every 30, 45 minutes it seems like you just don't know when it's gonna up. You'll have a pop-up shower and then boom, it's gone, and then hot as a firecracker hot as a it is.
Speaker 1:Well, that's good. On the 4th of July.
Speaker 2:That's good. So that was Monday through Friday, so I had five days of it.
Speaker 1:Five days of it.
Speaker 2:But you know what I liked, miss.
Speaker 1:Shirley Britt. She done some food for us every day.
Speaker 2:Oh, for the workers, yes.
Speaker 1:That's nice. She's over the snack part for the kids, but she also threw food in there for the kids. I'm not talking just snacks, I'm talking barbecue sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches. Today we had chicken wings.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:And we had grape salad, broccoli salad, regular salad.
Speaker 2:You know you need to make that dessert thing. Not a dessert, it's a fruit.

Speaker 2:Pineapples. That's what it is Pineapples, not oranges.
Speaker 1:I guess you could put oranges in there.
Speaker 2:Anyway, what do you mix with it?
Speaker 1:Vanilla pudding and pineapple juice.
Speaker 2:Mm, and as long as that thing is cold, cold it is good, it is so good good and it's so good, it doesn't last, is it? No, it does not.
Speaker 1:No, I need to make that everybody likes it. No, I can't take it to work. Oh yeah, it wouldn't stay cold enough, would it? So, yeah, so so that's my week. I didn't even go live, not one day this week that's good to do my nails good, give you a break from that tired. Tired of hearing about the nails. It's not good.
Speaker 2:I need you to take over the social media side of this podcast. I'm putting it out there in front of everybody. My plate is full.
Speaker 1:So is mine.
Speaker 2:And I don't need any more on my plate.
Speaker 1:I don't either. You're going to have to hire somebody to be our social media tech. Yeah, we, we have to hire somebody to be our social media tech. Yeah, we can pay them in cats.
Speaker 2:Cats, yes, and ducks.
Speaker 1:Yes, my goodness.
Speaker 2:There's a cat eyeing three ducks right now and the ducks have noticed the cat. So, and they're on high alert Anyway.
Speaker 1:I already do so much social media.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm just throwing that out there.
Speaker 1:Let me ask you this I know you like when I say that here we go.
Speaker 2:Which is worse, do you think? Being thirsty or being hungry?
Speaker 1:I think being thirsty, because if you're thirsty, you can drink water and that'll fill you up.
Speaker 2:It might kind of fill you up, but it don't fill that big old spot in that belly that needs some food. If you've ever tried to down a whole water because you're hungry, it don't work. You know what?
Speaker 1:I'm saying I don't know, it doesn't I don't know. So you're saying you'd rather be thirsty.
Speaker 2:I think you're going to get thirsty before you get hungry, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so I think when you drink something that's going to fill some of that hunger, okay, like I, I need a drink right now, I know.
Speaker 2:I know, I was just wondering. I thought of that a minute ago and I thought, hey, that's an all right question. Maybe she won't get mad if I ask this question, since I hadn't asked her none in a while.
Speaker 1:Well, you and your questions.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:What's that game show?
Speaker 2:The Pyramid and it asks all those questions $100,000 Pyramid.
Speaker 1:I like game shows. You dollar pyramid. I like game shows. You're not much of a game show person. Me and Nicholas love game shows. I get that from my granny. I used to stay with my granny all the time.
Speaker 2:If I sat down and something was on. I can remember growing up. The Price is Right, bob Barker.
Speaker 1:Well, will of Fortune was always in the evening time, so I don't know if I ever really I mean.
Speaker 2:I might watch it. I think that was closer to around 6 o'clock in the evening.
Speaker 1:Maybe Give or take a little bit. Yeah, price is Right, was morning time.
Speaker 2:Right, so you had that.
Speaker 1:Right before your granny. Soaps Price is Right, come on, and then the soaps started after that.
Speaker 2:I don't know if my grandmother was much of a soap person, maybe, maybe not. She stayed busy with stuff. I remember that she was a volunteer for the red cross and stuff. So I know her and my granddad was always busy, but I was too young to really notice the. You know what all was going on. Price is right and what else was um, the old one that they've redone.
Speaker 1:That still comes on now, but it's a new host. I watch it sometimes let's make a deal yes, I love that one plinko.

Speaker 2:I already ripped a little oh.
Speaker 1:I got it. Yes, in turn. You almost knocked the microphone off. Sorry folks, but I don't like things touching me like that. If you heard our very first episode, you would know why I don't like things touching me like that. Go back and listen.
Speaker 2:I'll just give them a heads up. First episode was about Amanda's copperhead snake bite she received on July 4th four years ago. This will be the fourth year. Don't look at me like that, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because it happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know we're not rehashing it, all right, he's so mean to me. No, it's like you don't want to talk about stuff and then all of a sudden you do. I'm like, no, we're not going back over it, people Anyway.
Speaker 1:He's so mean to y'all.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:All your minions are going to come to my side.
Speaker 2:That's fine.
Speaker 1:All right, what are we talking about? All right.
Speaker 2:At what age do you give your kids a cell phone? That is an important topic, I think, nowadays. Well, it has been probably for the last 10 years.
Speaker 1:This is probably so controversial.
Speaker 2:I know it is, Everybody will tune in. Everybody's got a different idea. But if you go into the supermarket tomorrow, tonight, today, whatever, you'll see you know the five, six, seven, eight-year-old, whatever, sitting in the buggy, not in the front of it but down in there where you put your groceries and stuff, and mama or daddy or grandma or whatever, gave the kid a cell phone and they're watching whatever. I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 2:I mean I don't have a problem with that and I'm not, and I'm not judging anybody for that, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying we see at a young age that we give kids, you know, these cell phones as a to get their attention, to keep them calm, whatever, uh, almost like a babysitter in a way. What I have a problem with is the ones that are like at home and they pretty much give them that phone just so they'll be quiet and just leave me alone, kind of thing.
Speaker 1:So when did Nicholas get a phone? You know?
Speaker 2:there's people like that. So I just don't agree with that. Don't let the phone be the babysitter when you need to be disciplining your child, educating your child, bringing up your child, you know what I would call the right way. And that doesn't mean keep them from a cell phone completely, but they don't need that in their face 14 hours out of the day, to the point to where, when you try and take it away from them, they're, like you know, slapping at you. I've seen that too, and I'm sure you have to. If you do, would you agree with that? What I've just all I've said, or add to it on the phone.
Speaker 1:Add to it so how old was nicholas? When we get a phone, look at that look up in the air.
Speaker 2:Oh my, there's a glider and I can't get your phone.
Speaker 1:I've got a tree in front of me. I'm not going to be able to get it.
Speaker 2:Bear with us people.
Speaker 1:I barely got a picture. He's gone behind the trees on my side.
Speaker 2:All right, so Wow, I don't know. Where'd he come from I don't know 300 feet up in the air. I just happened to look out there over the lake and uh because, out of the corner of my eye, I thought, man, that's a big bird, and because you didn't hear anything and it's a glider did it land or did it go on? Well, he, he can't, he can't land in the water. Those aren't.
Speaker 1:Oh, it wasn't a no. This is like a land zone yeah. Well, he looked awful low to be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so yeah, he was getting lower, but maybe he's okay. I don't know. Maybe, Wow, squirrel.
Speaker 1:Big time.
Speaker 2:Talk about? Yeah, taking attention, what are we talking about?
Speaker 1:All right, folks, we're out of here. I guess we're going to hunt a skydiver.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you start seeing those boats turning around and heading the way he looked like he was landing, then we know something's up.
Speaker 1:Anyway, we were talking about kids and cell phones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so what were you asking?
Speaker 1:How old was Nicholas when we gave him one?
Speaker 2:All right, there's a difference between letting him use the phone and actually getting a phone for him. I don't remember the age.
Speaker 1:He was at least.
Speaker 2:He was over 10, right, yes 10, 11, 12?.
Speaker 1:Yes, right in there, Right, right in there.
Speaker 2:But we had strict rules, we had very strict rules and we had the child. I was going to say restraints, that's not the word Whatever restrictions on the phone. Whatever yeah.
Speaker 1:Whatever, all that was years ago, which you know, however much you can, you know, keep from them getting into it. I mean, and he had an Xbox. That's the same thing as a phone to me, because you can do anything on that, just like you can get on the internet.
Speaker 2:you can do all that, but he couldn't always be on it. He had the phone or the xbox, both yeah, well, just stick with the phone right now, then you can go back to that I mean.
Speaker 1:Well, when he was at home, he was never on the phone, not when he first had it all right.
Speaker 2:So our rule with? Uh? Well, one of the rules we had with the phone was uh, the phone will never be in your bedroom.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:It stays in the living room, just like when it charges, and he does that now. Well, I don't want to fast forward to where we're at now, but the phone charges in the living room, that's where it stays. Yeah, you don't take it anywhere else, of course. I mean it goes with us if we're outside or whatever like that. But I, but I'm just meaning- when he was younger. Yeah, we're just talking about yeah, when he was younger, so that was our restriction and he knew that.
Speaker 2:Knew that coming into it, that was part of it. When we were going to get him the phone, we told him you know how it was going to be. Of course he was fine with him because he didn't have a phone anymore.
Speaker 1:You know he'd have been different to get social media and it alarmed me on my phone he would know yeah, no, yeah, and this ain't nothing he never got social media until yeah, this was nothing against nicholas, it's just the kid in you trying yeah him from the stuff that I knew kids the the problem we had. Kids are mean, kids are mean.
Speaker 2:The hardest thing that we had was we wouldn't budge on him having any kind of social media. He wanted social media and he would get so mad sometimes because his friends would wish him a happy birthday and stuff like that on social media and he couldn't see it. He would just hear about it. That's just an example and I can get that. I get it as a teenager or preteen or whatever like that. All your friends are on their phone communicating, doing Snapchat, all this kind of stuff, and that's fine, but you're not going to. We're just going to be as mad as you want to at us. You know, until you get a certain age and that's the way it is. So he didn't have any of that. He got social media when he turned 18 maybe. Yeah, somewhere around 18 he got an instagram and the only thing about that is we have, we follow him. You know there's none, you know it can't be private or anything. I mean we have to.
Speaker 1:He can post to his friends only. Well, well, but I'm a friend.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying all the stuff you can't, I'm just telling the people what we have done and what we do.
Speaker 1:I don't think he has Facebook. I think he does.
Speaker 2:He doesn't have. But you know, I don't know about the uh snapchat. I've never done snapchat. Have you done snapchat? I've always heard that's not a but that's not a great thing, it's not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I got snapchat, our nieces had snapchat, so that's what I remember and we would. It was funny it was funny and it was you'd do your funny faces or whatever. And over at their house we were crazy. We'd just do crazy stuff and send it to everybody. It was fun back then.
Speaker 2:And they'd always get if I left my phone sitting.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, they always take pictures with your phone, yeah, and.
Speaker 2:I'd find out a day or two later when I look at my photos and they have taken all these crazy face pictures of themselves.
Speaker 1:Snapchat's not good for kids. No, no, no, no, none of it is, I figure. No, it's not.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, so he didn't, you know, until he got 18, was able to start doing it and he really, you know, now you go back to Xbox. He plays Xbox.
Speaker 1:You can communicate to anybody on that which whatever, so he could have had it when.
Speaker 2:I don't know and we didn't know it. I don't know Because I didn't check his Xbox. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Except he always wanted Xbox Live and all that stuff, and we would not budge on letting him have that either. Right Because you could talk to all these people that you have no clue who they are.
Speaker 2:Right, you know, I don't think it hurt at all, I think it was good that we took a stance. But what the problem was? It's just hard when you're parenting a kid or kids and everybody else is letting their kids, you know, have this or that and the other when it comes to the phones and social media and all that stuff, it's just hard, uh, to justify to your kid why you're being so strict and some of these other parents are.
Speaker 1:I just go back to. Whatever you do in high school can come back and bite you in the butt oh, if 20 years later if you send a nudie picture to somebody or something, I mean you know, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:We've seen that they're not thinking about that at all and they're not thinking that right now, but somebody get mad at you or something. But the thing is, the stories that he's told us from school too, about people getting in trouble and everything, and that's when we try at the time we'd try and tell them see, that's what we're talking about, that's why it's so important, important people sending kids, sending snapchats of them drinking and all that kind of stuff, and so we just tried to keep them out of that, because I'm just so glad that nothing like that was around when I was young because I was so I was a goofball.
Speaker 2:I would have been in trouble, yeah I would have been in. I was on, you know, so much trouble as it was going down the wrong path at times.
Speaker 1:I know we think our parents didn't know, but I don't think they know half as what we did.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like we could know now, because all his stuff.
Speaker 2:Well, the thing you know, and that goes to you know if I guess you could check his social media if he was out and about, or if your kid was out and about all the time or away from home and all this kind of stuff. But I don't think he ever puts anything out there.
Speaker 2:And two, he's a homebody. He never goes out. He went at the biggest thing he's ever done and, like I said, it happened just a couple weeks ago. He went to a concert in Atlanta. We let him drive, we had rules about him. Now he's 19 years old.
Speaker 1:He's drive. We had rose about now he's 19 years old. He's going on 20.
Speaker 2:He sure hadn't pushed us. So I'm fine with it. It's fine, um, and we try and just be protective. Now, when he went with the stipulation on that was somebody's got to go with you. You know bottom line. Now he bought a ticket, he bought two tickets months ago and he had somebody that was going and then that fell apart and I just kept telling him. I said you know that you're not going by yourself, so you got to figure it out.
Speaker 1:I just wanted to give him his money back so he wouldn't go I know, but you know I did tell him.
Speaker 2:I said uh, I said worst case scenario. I said is I go with you? Oh, I said, that's the only way not want that I.
Speaker 1:I bet you.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, then I started. It seemed like it wasn't going to be a problem and I'm like, oh, here I go. Now I'm going to have to be real, Because then I was starting to think am I going to sit in a truck the whole time, You're going to sit in the truck while he goes in by himself?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you think, but uh, anyway, so it didn't. He had somebody that went with him. But there you go again, nervous wreck the whole time he was gone, being so far away he he doesn't drive on the interstate he was going to take back roads and all that and it was going to add like an hour hour and a half onto his time.
Speaker 2:So it's going to be like four and a half hour drive there and then coming straight back, you know, and all that. I think we're kind of getting off track with all that. But yeah, so he don't. I mean Friday nights he might go work out with one of his friends. They might hang out, get something to eat, and then he's home by like 8 o'clock, if that late he left and he was back by. Well, he got home right before we started recording it. So what, seven o'clock on a friday night he's home. It'll the same thing tomorrow night he don't stay out late, doesn't ask to stay out late.
Speaker 2:You know, if he, if he asked, or whatever, of course I mean that's fine, but he just, he don't have, he's a good kid, I mean don't have any problems. But back to the whole cell phone thing. You know he, still he.
Speaker 1:You know the phone stays in the living room charging at night and all that kind of stuff no, he's never, which is good, because if they take it to their room, they're gonna stay on it yeah, yeah, and we don't want that, you know he has got to come off of it, yeah so, uh, so the only thing he does he's making up for it.
Speaker 2:Now, yeah, all he does he walks around with it in his hand. He does, he does he does not lay it down.
Speaker 1:And his job is to wash the dishes, the phone is right there, I know. He'll leave the water running and be on his phone.
Speaker 2:I'm like you about is those years of him not being able to, you know, have his phone as much as anything.
Speaker 1:He's making up for it now.
Speaker 2:And that's fine or whatever, but he plays the video games in the evening time with his friends. So you know he spends a lot of time on that and not necessarily, I guess, I don't know. I think a lot of times they have their phone running watching something right there while they're playing video. I know he had his buddy over one night. He spent the night and they're in in this, uh, our first room. When you come into the house, nicholas is playing a game and then right behind him, facing against the other wall, is his buddy with uh, did he bring a laptop?
Speaker 1:no, it was, it was another little TV.
Speaker 2:Another little TV he plugged in and a game console and they were playing each other.
Speaker 1:In the same room.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were in the same room, backed each other on opposite walls. They were playing and had headsets on and they were talking to each other through the headsets. And here I am, I come out and I let the dogs out. I'm just looking. You know, it's like a tennis match. I'm looking to the left, I'm looking to the right, I'm looking to the left and I'm like this is crazy and I'm sure it's fun and all. And they're like we've got another xbox console and they're like, go in there and get on it and play with us. I'm like there ain't no way our internet couldn't handle.
Speaker 2:I know you had crashed the internet, but other than that, uh, I don't have four hours to spend on something like that. I've always told him I would love to get on there and play and do all that kind of stuff. I used to like to do it, but I think, as you get older too, there ain't nothing wrong with playing it, but you've got other responsibilities and all that stuff and I just can't get myself tied up into playing these games. All right, so what have we decided? What's games? All right, so what have we decided? What's the perfect age, then, to give your kid a cell phone? What do you see out there when it comes to, I mean basically what I said? You see all these kids having I say especially when they drive what do you mean?
Speaker 1:they get a cell phone before they start driving, when you drop them off at these sports and stuff. That's when I started wanting him to have a cell phone when he started staying after school.
Speaker 2:Well, when they're young, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah so.
Speaker 2:Before they can drive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean so that I mean that's just up to the parent. I think, yeah, that's up to the parent, not me, To me I think if and I'm trying to think 10-year-olds I don't think.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you shouldn't be giving a kid a phone. They shouldn't have their own phone before 10. You think?
Speaker 1:Not their own phone. I mean, maybe you can. I don't think so.
Speaker 2:But you need to be very. I mean, the parent needs to keep the phone and then when they want the kid to watch videos or do whatever, you give it to them and whatever. Then you take the phone back up. But I'm, I'm saying not a nine-year doesn't need to have their own phone, and they just keep that phone and do whatever all the time.
Speaker 1:That's what I mean. I don't think they should. Or 11 year old.
Speaker 2:they shouldn't you give it to them, but they shouldn't have it all the time. It shouldn't be like a wallet that they can just keep in their pocket wherever they go, wherever they're at in the house, anything like that. Disclaimer alert I'm not a professional. I'm not educated in any of this matter. Amanda isn't either. We don't give advice, we give opinions.
Speaker 1:I have a lot of opinions.
Speaker 2:Can't hold us accountable on this. You do. I do too. I get in trouble when I voice my opinion sometimes. Yeah, yeah, you hear those cicadas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2:The last episode. They came in loud and clear, Louder than I thought they were going to, and I think it's going to happen this time too. Amanda looks like she's ready to go.
Speaker 1:My head's starting to hurt. For some reason, these things start.
Speaker 2:Oh, the headphones.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the headphones start making my head hurt.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they'll start hurting your ears after a while If you wear glasses and put these on. They'll definitely. Yeah, and you're wearing glasses.
Speaker 1:Well, I couldn't keep my contacts in any longer. I fight it as long as I can.
Speaker 2:All right, what else we got? Winston went for his haircut today.
Speaker 1:Haircut and a shave.
Speaker 2:Winston is our Yorkie. He got the summer shave not a cut.
Speaker 1:He got a shave because tell nicholas to make him another appointment because, uh, he grew very.
Speaker 2:His hair grows so fast.
Speaker 1:Six weeks is too long in between cuts, realistically I think it was seven weeks really, so I think we're gonna cut it back to five five at the most, four at the least, I would say he gets a haircut more than I do I know, but he gets, yeah, he just.
Speaker 2:He looks like a, like a little ewok like tubby he looks like a ewok that's exactly if he could stand on his back legs and walk around, he'd look like just like an ewok.
Speaker 1:You know he's gonna name him chewy a Chewbacca.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I named him Winston.
Speaker 1:But you said Winston, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2:Winston Churchill.
Speaker 1:I know. I know where it came from.
Speaker 2:Okay, I usually don't get credit for naming any of these animals. I'm surprised y'all even said that. I named them. Yeah, all right, what else? I cut a lot of grass this week.
Speaker 1:Did you?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I cut ours, I cut mom's, I cut mom's neighbors and I got to cut your dad's tomorrow.
Speaker 1:I think I'm going to fire my yard man.
Speaker 2:Why? Because?
Speaker 1:I can't find any green grass.
Speaker 2:Hey, we need to rain, I know.
Speaker 1:I can't take any good pictures.
Speaker 2:I'm like where's?
Speaker 1:the good grass. I would like to water the yard watering the yard.
Speaker 2:To me, you used to water the yard. Hey, well, the reason I had a garden? Because it's so soothing to me to water it why, oh, it's just, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's because, hey, it's something. I planted something, I grew something, I took care of it and I'm watching it slowly, little by little, grow and produce something, yeah, that I can eat. I don't know if that's it or not, but seriously, like if I can stand out here with a hose in my hand and water the grass and I just see money going out when you're watering. I know I don't know why but you said our water bill was like extremely low this past month, so I'm I'm gonna make up for it.
Speaker 1:I'm scared that something was wrong and we're going to be tripled.
Speaker 2:Don't they give you a warning or don't they give you like a heads up if something Nope?
Speaker 1:Curry water does not.
Speaker 2:They put a new little thing on all of our.
Speaker 1:What is that? I don't know?
Speaker 2:A solar light, it looks like a solar light. See, what I'm scared of is like if they, you know they monitor stuff and all that kind of stuff, when is the government going to? Here we go, the government.
Speaker 1:Get off of this.
Speaker 2:What if the government steps in and starts monitoring your water supply? Yeah, jody, you have used too much water last month. We are restricting you to 300 gallons this month. I have no idea how much that is.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a lot of water.
Speaker 2:I don't think it is. I don't know what our monthly outtake intake of water is. I don't have a clue. I'm just going to say that Same thing, just like it can eventually happen. Same thing with gas. It's like if they want to put some kind of environmental thing in there and be like you know you can only use so much fuel a month, j environmental thing in there and be like you know you can only use so much fuel a month, jody. We're gonna have to, you know. Stop you from filling up today.
Speaker 1:You can only fill up once a week. Now, right, you're not paying no attention. You're on your phone. Well, I got somebody asking me some questions.
Speaker 2:Well they can ask questions when we get done with the podcast. Podcast is number one, my goodness, all right. Last thing, I think, netflix. What have we been watching on Netflix? You know we haven't gone into what we've watched in a while because you know we've got a British algorithm problem with my Netflix account. Everything went British and I think it's kind of slowly winging off of it, trying to stay away from any British thing. What are we watching? But sometimes, I think, is it called your Honor.
Speaker 1:Is that Netflix? Yeah, the judge yeah.
Speaker 2:The guy that was in Breaking Bad. I can't think of the actor's name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the lead guy, I can picture him, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he's a judge.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:In this one, and I'm not going to. It just came out, hadn't it? There's two seasons. It was originally on Showtime but now it's on Netflix, so I'm not going to spoil anything, but it's about his son gets in a little bit of trouble.
Speaker 1:It's dragging right now a little bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're on episode five. There's ten episodes on the first season and there's two seasons total. So we just got on episode five last night and, uh, really slowed down like turtle speed almost to where me, if you slow down too much. Uh, you better. You better pick up the pace, that's right. So I don't know, I really don't know how they've made two seasons yeah, I don't know how it can made two seasons out of this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know how it can go two seasons I don't, but apparently maybe Sure it will. But I mean I know it does, but yeah but it's not too bad.
Speaker 2:No, it's not bad. No, it's been all right. We have searched and searched and I'm sure you know 98% of Americans out there are like can't find anything to watch. We've talked about it before. Spend 20 minutes scrolling through.
Speaker 2:We have all these platforms where you can watch stuff on and nothing. A lot of times I just get mad and go to YouTube and watch police encounters. What else? Funny videos, doorbell or is it ring doorbell Clips, whether it's the guys that bring the packages and they see a dog and they get scared, whether the dog's friendly or not, and stuff like that all right, I like to watch pallets on youtube what's that? Where people buy pallets okay, so yeah, we got on this thing. Jamie and sarah shout out to them.
Speaker 1:There's a youtube channel, it's it's just if they got new one.
Speaker 2:Yeah it's just called jamie and sarah. It's a husband and wife. They live in uh, michigan, and there is a return uh center. Well, there's a place that buys returns. Is that not right? How am I saying, am I saying this right? Anyway, they have an outlet up there. They can go uh and get returns from amazon. There's a place that sells pallets and they go.
Speaker 1:I think they've done amazon and walmart. Yeah, they've done several, but I think the main one was amazon.
Speaker 2:Yeah so they go to this place and, uh, you can actually all these pallets I did see the fish.
Speaker 2:All these pallets are shrink-wrapped and they're separated to where you can walk around each pallet and it shows them. They'll take screenshots. Google the screenshots of boxes that they see on the outside, see what the product is, see what the value of it is. Anyway. Sometimes these pallets are say $600 a piece. Value of it is anyway. Sometimes these pallets are say six hundred dollars a piece. They might see twenty five hundred dollars worth of product on the uh, on that pallet.
Speaker 1:The only problem is because they look it up, don't they look it up?
Speaker 2:that's how they judge on what pallet they're gonna buy. Yeah, so once they see that, they just have to make a judgment call, because you don't know what's really in these boxes. If it's a return, you'll find out that a lot of times they open up these boxes and what the person returned is not even that same item, and then a lot of times it's the item that's. It's in perfect condition, and then sometimes it's missing parts or broken or whatever like that. So, anyway, so they'll end up they'll pick a pallet, they'll take it home and they video the unveiling of it. They'll open up every single box, show you what they found, the quality of it, all this kind of stuff, and then they have a uh, a thing in the corner that keeps a tally, tally, tally's the dollar amount of everything that they have gotten so far.
Speaker 2:So if they spent six hundred dollars, you know, on that pallet they might have thirty five hundred dollars worth of product that they found that's in good shape. And then they, uh, they have different ways of selling, like facebook, marketplace and, yeah, a few different things. They go through all of that and they've even before had a few short little uh videos of uh, their earnings, just on what they do, just like the videos they've showed out, the how they monetize with youtube and stuff, and like some of them's, like how they've made ninety thousand dollars from, just say, youtube alone and all this kind of stuff. And they've got several different videos out there of, uh, how you do this and how you make money at it and uh. So, yeah, we've uh, I wouldn't say fell in love with them, but we do find their page very interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like watching people that spot these palettes and stuff. I like seeing what they get.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we found, we've.
Speaker 1:But then I feel sorry for them sometimes when they think they've got this good thing and then they open the box and—.
Speaker 2:They get excited.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they get excited, they open the box and it's not even what the picture on the outside of the box was, or whatever. Yeah, we're finding— Like somebody returned something, but it wasn't even like, say, a light, a fan or something you know and you open the box and it's a dirty dog bed yeah how do people do that? How do people return something and it ain't even what it's supposed to be?
Speaker 2:we don't understand how they get away with that by watching these videos just jamie and sarah though that video what they've got out there we found out that the return centers do not check the boxes. No, they don't. If you have a problem and you return this to get your full money, they never check to see if it's the correct item, if it's all the parts, whatever it is, Even if you said you just didn't want it or whatever. These people are putting just junk in there, keeping the item and sending the junk back, Right? What a scam.
Speaker 1:I know.

Speaker 1:My milkshake was my supper, so I just needed a little snack.
Speaker 2:I don't know what it was for me. I think it's going to linger into being my breakfast in the morning too.
Speaker 1:I hate that because we love Jack's Cookies and Cream Milkshakes.
Speaker 2:It's so good, though it was so good.
Speaker 1:But he lets his get watered down Mine. Yeah, I can't down it I like to drink it before it gets all warm.
Speaker 2:You got to understand where I'm coming from. I have to ease into it as it is. I should have never eased into it to begin with. So that's where I'm coming from.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, thanks for hanging with us folks.
Speaker 2:Remember every Monday you can hear us. Somebody's grilling it is. It smells wonderfully. Well, we got to clean our grill. You think we can go trace that out and see if we can borrow a chop a rib.
Speaker 1:I really want a steak. We're going to have to get one this weekend. I think that's not a burger. That's not a burger.
Speaker 2:That's some good old meat right there, oh by the way Might be a T-bone ribeye.
Speaker 1:I think Spencer wants your smoker Really yeah.
Speaker 2:I talked about it when we were talking about your snake bite. I told him. I said you know that the snake hid under it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why he didn't want it, because he thought the snake was up in it or something.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. I told him that. You know we had it. It was right there on the patio.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And that you know. The last few times that I used it, I told him. I said I could not get the right smoke smell. And I told him and I said ever since it, even when it housed the snake underneath it, I moved it and put it up in the building. Then I told him it's just collecting dust. And then josh was like so you've got a smoker for sale.
Speaker 2:And I never said anything but uh if that joker thinks he's just gonna get it, he's got another thing coming. He better show some benjamins some cash.
Speaker 1:I ain't giving him nothing for free wow, spencer, I tried to tried to get you a.
Speaker 2:Spencer will listen to this. He'll listen to this Monday.
Speaker 1:I tried to get you a smoker Spencer, and I'm not even going to give him a heads up on what I'm saying, right? Now Wow, I'll just let him find out on his own man. I tried, Spencer. I'm sure he he told me, you could have it.
Speaker 2:Look, I told him I asked him months ago about a drill, a robbie drill, what he needed. I was gonna give him a drill and a battery and he told me he said no, I've got all that. So I'm like, oh well, he could, he could have got one for free, because I'm gonna give it to him, it don't matter.
Speaker 2:And then now he's like why are you giving it away and now I was trying to be nice because I like Spencer and they just moved into their house and I'm thinking I got to get this guy something good.
Speaker 1:And I knew he had, we did. We gave him a gift card and they didn't use it until months later because they found it.
Speaker 2:Did we give him a gift?
Speaker 1:card.
Speaker 2:We did, course, okay, I didn't know that, but anyway, but that's beside the point. But I knew he'd had some ralby tools. So you know, I'm like I'm covered up with some ralby too, even with some used. I've got some used stuff. I was thinking, well, if I've got it in dewalt then I'll give him the ralby, and so I got my own, a couple of things up there and I'm just trying to decide if I'm gonna give it to him now it was just a turn he just I tried spencer he shot me down with that the first time and I understand that he had the drill in it, but he was gonna get a battery.
Speaker 2:You know what I thought about getting him. I thought about just getting him buying him one of those flashlights, like I got this the robie that's really bright. He can use that back there behind his house and stuff and spotlight for deer and all that kind of stuff he'd probably use.
Speaker 1:Use it. What do you think he probably would, but we ain't.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to give him everything I got. I'm not going to give him that and this smoker and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1:We ain't used that smoker in years, yeah, but his carport will be junked up with all my old stuff. He's trying to get a building.
Speaker 2:You know what I did. I know, I know I've heard him. Well, he's talked about it. I didn't know if he's serious, I don't know. I can't believe we're talking about Spencer right now.
Speaker 1:So much I know. Why are we talking about Spencer. I don't know, nobody knows. Shout out to Rebecca, we like you too, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I've got.
Speaker 1:You don't even know.
Speaker 2:Hold on. What kind of weed eater do I have it? Just I've lost it.
Speaker 1:No, oh, that's a chainsaw.
Speaker 2:What's the business that's right down the road, that sells?
Speaker 1:Husqvarna.
Speaker 2:Husqvarna. Why could I not think of that? You know I've got one that just needs carburetor work on and I thought about if he needed one. If he wants to just try and get that one fixed, I'd give him that one, but I don't know if he needs a weed eater or whatever, or if he might be like nah, nah, but I mean that's an expensive way to do it.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2:I want to keep talking about Spencer. I like Spencer.
Speaker 1:I'm done with Spencer, all right. All right, thanks for listening. How did we get sidetracked on that? Anyway, I thought we was leaving.
