If you could go back in time or if you could time travel, would you go to the future or would you go to the past? What time period and why?
Speaker 2At the age I'm at now.
Speaker 1Oh my goodness, here you go asking a question about my question.
Speaker 2Well, I got to know.
Speaker 1Well, yeah.
Speaker 2Okay, at the age I'm at now.
Speaker 1You're 10.
Speaker 2I would no.
Speaker 1You're at now, you're 10. I would no. You're age now.
Speaker 2I would go back to when my Think it through. I already know I would go back to when my granny was alive. You're not going and learn more At my mom's mall and learn more cooking stuff. I already thought that, Like I've thought that before.
Speaker 1No disrespect, but that's not exciting. I was thinking you were going back like 100 years 200 years.
Speaker 2No, I don't want to go back. Biblical times.
Speaker 1Go to the future and see the technology.
Speaker 2Not really. I don't want to go back Biblical times, go to the future and see the technology. Not really I don't want to go to the future and know anything.
Speaker 1So you'd basically be going like 20 years into the past before you were born. Maybe that's all you'd be doing 10 years maybe.
Speaker 2So that's what I think's exciting.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2And then to come back to the life that I'm at now so you can cook more yeah, so I know what I'm doing besides cooking, or what? Maybe is that the only thing. Some advice from them like what?
Speaker 1tell me what well, when I get married, my mom all has some good advice.
Speaker 2She always said don't let no man tell you what to do. You take this frying pan and you cook him upside the head.
Speaker 1Is that what she said?
Speaker 2Mm-hmm. You know, she almost did my pawpaw one time.
Speaker 1Really yeah. Is that your mom's mom or your dad's mom?
Speaker 2My mom's mom passed away when I was like 11. But I don't know. I've always thought that I wish I could go back and I thought that was a leaf, that was a that's a called a butterfly um, we're outside, by the way, if you didn't know. So I don't know. I just find that. I find that fascinating just to go back and be with them.
Speaker 1Yeah, I think everybody would probably go back to. That's like my grandparents going back to the grandparents just like my granddad. You know he was business type, stuff like that. He had a lot of information in that head of his and I didn't care nothing about it. I know Now going. If I could now I would love to sit down and just sit down.
Speaker 1Yeah, talk to your grandparents, all that because it's like, it's like my mom's parents were, you know, totally different than my dad's parents, you know. As for I don't know, I guess you'd say socially- whatever or like where they grew up and that type thing. So you'd be getting all kinds of different advice. It'd be cool, yeah. But if you take that out, I'm just saying what's a time period? Do you think that would be interesting to go to? You don't think of anything like that.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1You don't want to go back to the western days?
Speaker 2No, I'd like to wear some of those big dresses, would you yeah?
Speaker 1Work in a saloon. I hope you wouldn't want to work in a saloon.
Speaker 2I don't want to work in a saloon, I just want to wear the dresses.
Speaker 1That's pretty bad if you did that.
Speaker 2I didn't say I wanted to work in a saloon.
Speaker 1I just said. I hope you didn't want to.
Speaker 2Well, no, I don't want to. So what would you do?
Speaker 1I'd be the cowboy walking in that saloon looking for Amanda and her dress. What kind of dress is that called? What's a bouffant? Is that a hairdo?
Speaker 2That's a hairdo, okay.
Speaker 1What's the big fluffy dress that's got the.
Speaker 2I don't know what they're called.
Speaker 1Isn't it the thing that's under it that makes it Uh-huh? What's it called? It's like a hoop, a hoop.
Speaker 2It's a hoop.
Speaker 1I was thinking that had something like a bouffant name to it.
Speaker 2I don't think so. That's what I was thinking. Well, that shows you how I got you, you scoring them points.
Speaker 1I'd have guns blazing, I'd have six shooters in both my hands and I'd kick open that. What are those Saloon doors? Yeah, what are they? They're just swinging.
Speaker 2Swinging doors.
Speaker 1What are they good for? Because they don't go up and they don't go down.
Speaker 2That's the doors, you know. That says don't let the door hit you on the way hit. Hit you on the butt on the way out, them would hit you Is that what it says?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2Is that not the saying?
Speaker 1What's the saying? I know it's like don't let the door hit you where the good Lord splits you.
Speaker 2No, that's one Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Don't let the door hit you. I don't know Whatever that saying is.
Speaker 1Hmm.
Speaker 2You know, we had those swinging doors in my house when I was a kid.
Speaker 1Did you?
Speaker 2You don't remember Like where. Where the at Daddy and Brenda's house where the dining room table was coming into the living room. You got the kitchen, then you went to the dining room and you could come into the living room. Right there they put up swinging doors I don't you'll remember.
Speaker 1I don't even think I ever remember going into the dining room because they had a little bar thing set it right there in the kitchen we sat right there on the bar stools, a couple of them, or at least talk. It's either that or you sat in the couch right there in the living room. I vaguely remember going in there a few times, but I don't know.
Speaker 2And then their swinging doors. They put swinging doors up right there. No, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1I remember my grandparents' house between their, I guess kitchen area going into their dining room area it had the sliding door that went in the wall the pocket door.
Speaker 2Is that what I love? Those? That was the coolest thing I think, I think, I think every room needs those. That way the door's not in your way, that's it I know why do we not have the?
Speaker 1best of bitching ever and it's not used enough I think it's just uh, maybe the process of trying to lock it or keep it closed might be the issue why you don't have that on all doors maybe because you know it just slides back and forth, some kind of lat, I don't know. But yeah, I agree with you, slide that baby open, slide it closed, yep well what I got me a little taste of fall this past week. Did you? Are we done? Talking about what?
Speaker 2I said we're done talking about that.
Speaker 1Oh, I guess nobody wants to know when I want to go back in.
Speaker 2Well, you said the saloon where I was.
Speaker 1I was just saying that to make conversation, but never mind.
Speaker 2Where do you want to go, doesn't matter. Now we're going to the fall now.
Speaker 1Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2Go ahead.
Speaker 1Talk about the fall. I guess this will be a short episode because I had a lot to talk about, but no, we'll talk about the fall.
Speaker 2Go, no Go, I'm over it. We're going to sit here and fight Argy.
Speaker 1No, go ahead. I'm going to get a sip of my Pepsi while utah go.
Speaker 2Let's listen really, man. That was good. All right, where would you go, that's? Cold pepsi, we'll. We'll pause the fall for a minute anytime.
Speaker 1I'm gonna say from the and the only thing about it. Now, since we know about technology, I'd hate to go back to the past, simple fact, fact we don't have air conditioning, you don't have all the amenities that we do now. You don't have toilet paper.
Speaker 2I wouldn't come out here and podcast earlier because it was hot.
Speaker 1Anything around in the 1860s around the Civil War. Not that I want to participate in a war or anything like that, but any of that time period, all the way back to the beginning of the US 1776, any time, the founding fathers any of that. I would like to be a. If you went to that time period, it's almost like you're not seen, but you can walk around and check things out and you're just observing. That's what I would want to observe all this.
Speaker 2I think you're thinking about a show we watched.
Speaker 1I don't know where you can go.
Speaker 2Travel back in time, oh I'm just I don't know, you don't know I'm just saying I would like to observe and see things and how you'd like to be a fly on the wall?
Speaker 1Something similar to that? Yes.
Speaker 2Okay, so where are you going to go in the future?
Speaker 1That's a tough question. Could you really go to the future? Because you have no idea, why would you want to go? You might want to say, all right, I want to go 50 years from now just to see what it's like, but you couldn't pinpoint a certain area.
Speaker 2I don't think I would want to go to the. I don't want to go to the future. I mean, I guess I don't want to know what, like I don't really want to know what's coming up, because then if you come back, what do you got to look forward to? Well, I mean, you would know what you're looking forward to, but, like I, I don't know.
Speaker 1I just think well, let's not think about that, because let's just say like if you came back to today, you don't remember anything that you saw, you don't know. I just think, well, let's not think about that, because let's just say, like if you came back today, you don't remember anything that you saw.
Speaker 2You don't remember anything when you come back. Yeah, that cat's going to get him one.
Speaker 1Is it a squirrel?
Speaker 2Well, I thought birds landed oh.
Speaker 1Sure enough, I got one. Yeah, I guess you could say say all right, if I could go 50 years in the future, bam, in the same spot I am right now, just to see geographically what everything looks like, how technology has changed, you know, is there going to be cars flying around? Is it going to be nothing but drones in the air, stuff like that?
Speaker 1yeah, and come back and not remember I could do that yeah I'm not saying let's go in 30 years from now and I want to see if I'm still alive, and you know stuff like that.
Speaker 2No, I'm not saying that yeah, I still don't know if I'd want to go to the future you want to check it out and just see?
Speaker 1I'm kind of thinking that we might have like a China flag or a Russian flag over this area in 30, 40 years.
Speaker 2Let's not say that the rate we're going. Why you say that.
Speaker 1Oh, let's, don't get you started. This government we got. And these yahoos that are voting in these other yahoos. That ain't got a clue what's going on. I said we're not taking us down this path of destruction I'm about to mute your mic and I don't even know what button it is. I'm done, you just unplug me I just unplugged you.
Speaker 2Did you make it there you weren week.
Speaker 1I did barely.
Speaker 2No help.
Speaker 1Struggled Nicholas started college. Is this the first week? Yep, yeah, so he had Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday he had classes. So I was working solo, which I'm normally. That's just what I do. But since I really needed him the last several weeks, I really did miss him. But since I really needed them the last several weeks, I really did miss them. I didn't shed a tear or anything, but I just was slow going.
Speaker 2And that's all right. Yeah, that's okay, and then once he started back with me Thursday, he was like I can't wait to get him out of this trip.
Speaker 1He was like I can't wait to get home and I'm like I can't wait to get you home. No, we work good together sometimes.
Speaker 2Every time you called me, y'all was fussing.
Speaker 1We always fuss. It's funny fussing though Mm-mm. Yeah, how was your week? Now that we're back to on planet Earth?
Speaker 2nowadays, in the present. Yeah, my weight was good. Didn't really do nothing. Don't reckon.
Speaker 1I got another question, did we?
Speaker 2But it felt like fall all week, so let me go back to my fall.
Speaker 1Can I ask you one more question? Before we do that? I did my fall. Let me do one more question. I can't ever do anything. Let me find it real quick.
Speaker 2What happened to my question?
Speaker 1look, he don't even know what he wants to ask, but he wants to ask me a question. You've got to be kidding me hold up, wait a minute all right, so I'm gonna have to just uh tell you this from memory.
Speaker 2All right, this is bad when me and you both think something and then we have to go to our notes and we write it down.
Speaker 1There's a runaway trolley going down this track.
Speaker 2Is this for real? You got me, I'm throwing a scenario You're telling me a story.
Speaker 1I'm going to ask you what you would do in this situation.
Speaker 2I want to talk about the fall.
Speaker 1All right, you got a runaway trolley coming down a track. There's five people tied to the track, but you can change the direction of the track, that the trolley's coming on to another track before it gets to them. But there's one person tied on that track.
Speaker 2What do you do? I go, untie one person and change the trolley.
Speaker 1You change the track.
Speaker 2I go untie and I change the track to the one person track.
Speaker 1I don't think you have time to do all that.
Speaker 2Yes, I do If this is a scenario. I got time to go unt that. Yes, I do.
Speaker 1If this is a scenario I got time to go on time, Okay. Final answer.
Speaker 2This is stupid. I can tell I've already walked into something.
Speaker 1No, you haven't walked into anything. I just it was a question. I thought it's really crazy because, like, are you going to like redirect the trolley to the other track for the one person I'm going on time Like redirect? The trolley to the other track for the one person to get killed and then the other five live.
Speaker 2Why are we talking about this? I don't know.
Speaker 1It's just I was going through some questions.
Speaker 2You and your questions. Where do these come from? Google is not a good source for you anymore, I think, jim and I brought that one up.
Speaker 1I didn't think of it myself.
Speaker 2We're going to the fall.
Speaker 1I just wanted to see what you would do. What would you do? I thought you might just throw your hands up in there and say whatever.
Speaker 2What would you do I?
Speaker 1don't know.
Speaker 2I really don't, because that would be a— Just stop asking me questions. I don't like questions.
Speaker 1All right, no more questions.
Speaker 2No more questions.
Speaker 1Talk about your fall y'all. I know Dead air come on.
Speaker 2It's felt like fall this week, has it not? It's felt good.
Speaker 1It was 64 this morning and a very cool breeze off the lake when I got up.
Speaker 2Well, I might have jumped the gun too soon because I dressed like fall to go out of the house.
Speaker 1This morning.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1The high was 91 today.
Speaker 2You didn't tell me that.
Speaker 1You told me that if you go outside it's cold, You're going to say it's cold out there At that time.
Speaker 2So I wore what's it called.
Speaker 1A turtleneck Leggings.
Speaker 2I wore long leggings.
Speaker 1And a turtleneck.
Speaker 2I don't own a turtleneck, that's you.
Speaker 1I don't own a turtleneck.
Speaker 2And I burn up, and all I done was go to my booth and go to Walmart and I burn up.
Speaker 1But Because you didn't go till 12 o'clock. And guess what? I?
Speaker 2wasn't home at 12 o'clock.
Speaker 1Thank, I wasn't home at 12 o'clock. Thank you.
Speaker 2I'm just saying time changes, but I really jumped the gun because I got a crock pot full of soup in there. We got to eat.
Speaker 1I don't know what is happening and you have the air off in the house.
Speaker 2So I'm thinking have you lost your-? I didn't turn the air off. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1The air was not running.
Speaker 2And it got hot in the air. It is hot in the house. When I got home I was like what is going on in there.
Speaker 1So now, and I saw fast and I saw a crock pot with soup and then now you're telling me you dress like wintertime when you went out this morning and I'm like what is happening? And you were normal yesterday, I think and you know what next weekend is football Food-ball.
Speaker 2Let's get ready to rumble. Oh, that's the wrong thing.
Speaker 1That's nice, we'll take it. I thought you was going to change it up.
Speaker 2Though, let's get ready and then put another word in there, I know, but I couldn't make it work.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2Food-ball. I'm so ready.
Speaker 1Well, and we watched a documentary last night on Steve McNair. Yeah, you said you didn't like it. You watched it, I didn't really watch it yeah. I'm just saying, and that kind of led into getting into Football Fever watching that. No it was a terrible documentary.
Speaker 2Why the way it was.
Speaker 1It just wasn't produced or done right because it was.
Speaker 2It didn't To me. It didn't feel like it really gave any kind of information.
Speaker 1It was about his murder Supposed to be who, Steve McNair. Yeah, but it really didn't go into great detail about what all happened in the investigation.
Speaker 2Well, that's what I thought it was going to do.
Speaker 1It kind of jumped through him and what's his name? Fisher, the head coach, their relationship and all this stuff and I don't know. It just wasn't really great. It was less than an hour. I felt like it needed to have two episodes. I felt like when it ended that should have been the end of the first episode, hey, and I still needed more, because it kind of left you up in the air about hey, they really could have been somebody else.
Speaker 2Well, maybe they're going to do another one. No, they didn't, but I doubt it. No, that's so. Yeah, we got a crock pot full of taco soup for the next two, three days to eat.
Speaker 1Two. I don't know about three, three's, you know three's might be too much. On leftovers We've talked about this, I think Not on soup, soup, soup.
Speaker 2Maybe that soup and chili is probably all right, but okay, so it depends on the food. Depends on the food. Yes, I agree, it depends on the food. So when I've done um, what's that other soup I do and y'all don't eat it? I hadn't done it in a long turnip green soup. When I do turnip green soup, I eat on it, that's three or four days. Oh, it's so good. You don't know what you're missing. It's so good, so so good, and it smells funky.
Speaker 2And I've done some things in the house and you haven't even noticed it.
Speaker 1It'll taste funky.
Speaker 2You haven't even noticed it.
Speaker 1Well, I did notice that there's a cow skin rug in the pod room. You stole my rug. Stole pod room.
Speaker 2You stole my rug.
Speaker 1Stole your rug.
Speaker 2Stole, my rug, I stole a little shit, stole my bench.
Speaker 1Yeah, that I made for you, that you weren't utilizing Indian giver. Yep, I don't know if you can say that anymore.
Speaker 2Indian giver.
Speaker 1I don't think that's politically correct nowadays. Did we claim to be politically correct on giver? I don't think that's politically correct nowadays.
Speaker 2Did we claim to be politically correct on this podcast? I'm just saying.
Speaker 1You're the one that won't. Let me talk about government issues and stuff.
Speaker 2Well, boot me out of here.
Speaker 1Look at that boat. He's got three.
Speaker 2I can see it.
Gender Roles and Reminiscing Memories
Speaker 1He's got two American flags and I don't know what, the one in the top is so anyway, we had a veterans parade.
Speaker 2Trump 2024. Is that what it?
Speaker 1says I don't know Made it up. Anyway, we had a parade on the lake today.
Speaker 2We didn't get to see it, forgot it was going on, so anyway.
Speaker 1I guess we know who you're voting for. Is that why you did that?
Speaker 2I don't know. I just thought that's what you're gonna make all them feminists mad at you now I am not voting for her because you can't think for yourself oh, I think for myself, I think, you know, I think for myself, but I do like a man's to, I do like a man to be a man okay you know what I mean I don't really know, but I guess you're talking about you, don't?
Speaker 1you don't want a man to be feminine, is that what you mean? I?
Speaker 2don't need to do all this stuff myself, because my man is supposed to do it for me.
Speaker 1Oh, you're talking about. Like the women that just say, women that don't like men.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Because men are too. The masculine part of men is evil yeah. That kind of thing, yeah yeah, is evil. Yeah, that kind of thing, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2I like my man to be my man.
Speaker 1I know I can do things but you know what I don't have to.
Speaker 2There's a lot of men haters out there. I don't have a lot of women. Yeah, because when I try to do something, my man will just say I got it, let me do it.
Speaker 1Look, men and women are equal right To an extent, no, we're equal yeah. But we're not the same.
Speaker 2I want you to do my stuff.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1I'm a princess, you should be. I mean, I'm a princess, okay.
Speaker 2That's not how you were supposed to react to that.
Speaker 1I just said okay, you were telling me something and I said okay.
Speaker 2That's not the right response. Anyway, how did we get on this?
Speaker 1I don't know, but I wasn't finished, but you threw me off and I don't know what I was saying. Equal or not, the same, you agree, I agree, so case closed.
Speaker 2So you should be getting gas in my car every week. If we were together, I would pump the gas up you should just get up on Saturday mornings, go get my gas and I fix your coffee. That's how it works. I like that arrangement. Let's make it happen.
Speaker 1Okay, so how come you didn't make coffee for me this morning?
Speaker 2Because, I'm off on Saturdays, and it's a Saturday morning, but you didn't go get me gas either, so there you go.
Speaker 1It goes both ways there you go.
Speaker 2I'm off on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Speaker 1Are you? Yes, that's nice yes.
Speaker 2A lot of people have to work. More power to them, I'm glad.
Speaker 1Rub it in. Rub it in their wombs.
Speaker 2Well, I work five days a week. Saturday and Sundays are my off days. Anyway, you still hadn't noticed what I'd done in the house.
Speaker 1No, I've not been in the house much, and when I was we were moving furniture.
Speaker 2Moving the TikTok. I done it last week.
Speaker 1Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2I done it last week.
Speaker 1There's something fall related, apparently, because you're talking about cold weather, so you've flipped a sign or something over that used to say summer and now it says fall. Right, there's something like that.
Speaker 2There's pumpkins out Pumpkins really. Yes, in the house, yes, On the mantel. One of them.
Speaker 1I never looked at the mantel.
Speaker 2That's the best part of the house, yeah. I know because I made it. I love the mantel.

Speaker 2Six I never wanted a mantel. 26. 25. I never wanted a mantel, I don't know why. And then he made a floating mantel. It's pretty cool. I like it floating mantle.
Speaker 1It's pretty cool. I like it. I know. You know I got in this, I don't know there for a while I was just doing some crazy stuff. I wouldn't say crap, but I mean, just I did that. I'm drilling holes in concrete and brick that was rough, I mean I'm just doing this stuff, like you know what am I doing, and I hope this works out, because there ain't no going back after this and it's like why do we wait till we get older to do all this remodel stuff?
Speaker 1I don't know. I mean like, why didn't we do that when I was 25?
Speaker 2yeah, that's what I'm saying, but no, we didn't want to do that well, that's like putting the floors down it was 25. We was running the roads.

Speaker 1Really, how do you forget that?
Speaker 2Because that's all you're about is social media, I know, but somebody was in there and I was ready to go, because I had to go pick up my groceries at the Walmarts. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1And it's a sign of getting old when you start saying the Walmarts.
Speaker 2The.
Speaker 1Walmarts Put an S on it, just like Kmart's.
Speaker 2I miss Kmart. I don't I like.
Speaker 1Kmart? Why Kmart had nothing?
Speaker 2At the end it did, but it used to be good.
Speaker 1Kmart could have closed 20 years earlier and I'd have been fine with it. No, no, yes, no, I don't know if I ever made a purchase at Kmart.
Speaker 2Well, your money went to Kmart.
Speaker 1Did it. What did you buy there? I bought. I bought all kinds of stuff. I can always remember going to sporting goods and electronics and just like and nothing.
Speaker 2Why am I here?
Speaker 1decorations why am I here?
Speaker 2I bought a ton of fall decorations, actually from kmart. I probably still have them. I'm pretty sure the ones some of the ones that I put out are from Kmart, because I think they have the Kmart sticker on the bottom. How?
Speaker 1does a store slash company go from that successful to gone? You know.
Speaker 2So are there no Kmarts anywhere?
Speaker 1I think there's two left.
Speaker 2Is that just a South thing?
Speaker 1And that's just because I saw a YouTube video that the guy that was going to the last two K-Marts- Is there K-Marts all over? The US you're talking about.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 1Do you remember those K-Mart commercials that came out, that were I don't know what you would say out, that were I don't know what you would say kind of like a almost like a parody type thing, really funny, really on the edge of what they were doing Like racist and Maybe, and I don't even, I don't know now if they're, even, if they were real, I think they were real, weren't they?
Speaker 2What do you mean real?
Speaker 1Like somebody was making fun and doing a looked like a Kmart commercial, but it wasn't. That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2All the time. Every year I always buy Nicholas some of these and there's actually a factory in Connecticut like a I don't mean a factory. I know there's a factory, I know that's where they're made, but it's a um, so like what is it called? Like when you go look at them and and have a hard time with words.
Speaker 1these days, people test, you look at them and have a hard time with words. These days, people Test, you, look at them, observe.
Speaker 2Like they've got a store Demo. Anyway, it's the Pez dispenser factory in Connecticut.
Speaker 1How big a factory do you need for PEZ? I'm just thinking.
Speaker 2Well.
Speaker 1In my mind.
Speaker 2I don't need Considering there is a PEZ for everything.
Speaker 1You're talking about? Like there's dispensers. You're talking about the dispenser.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, there's.
Speaker 1Like the molding. There's like all kinds that weenser. Yeah, yeah, there's Like the molding. There's like all kinds that we, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2So this says that you can actually do a scavenger hunt and win free Pez dispensers.
Speaker 1There yeah.
Speaker 2That's cool. So like I usually get Nicholas some kind of Pez every year for Christmas, Stog and stuffer. Yeah, and you can have your picture made and it looks like you're the top of the Pez dispenser. That's cool, I want a bobblehead of myself.
Speaker 1You do. Yeah, I think that'd be good Watch out.
Speaker 2Geese.
Speaker 1Geese just flew over.
Speaker 2You scare me when you say that. Well, they were flying right over.
Speaker 1I didn't want you to get plopped on.
Speaker 2Don't need to be plopped on. So that's my oddity for this week.
Speaker 1I want to know how big the factory is.
Speaker 2That didn't give any kind of details.
Speaker 1I'm saying a pez factory right right surely it's not real big, I know pez is everywhere.
Speaker 2It could be real big, but my goodness and how hard is it to make pez it's little pills right, that's all it is is a pill.
Speaker 1It's candy. It's a candy pill. Okay, it's a pill of candy, right, I mean, you got to make the dispensers is what you're. Well, I bet they don't even make it. All it is is a pill. It's candy, it's a candy pill.
Speaker 2Okay, it's a pill of candy, right? Well, I mean you got to make the dispensers, is what you're.
Speaker 1Well, I bet they don't even make it.
Speaker 2They have that shipped in from China. Okay.
Speaker 1Don't you think?
Speaker 2You're all about this China, I don't know. That's all I got from my roadside audience Just one roadside audience.
Speaker 1Yeah, where's that big old ball of yarn at? I've always heard about it.
Speaker 2You have not. You saw it while ago.
Speaker 1I know, but I've heard about it. I don't have it in my notes. Now it's gone, so I'm asking where's it at?
Speaker 2You can lose all your notes. I lost all of it. I don't have a clue where it's at. It's probably in the in Gatlinburg, at the Ripley's, believe it or not.
Speaker 1So if they had it on display, is there really a question of whether you believe it or not, because you see it?
Speaker 2Because you see it.
Speaker 1Or is it like?
Speaker 2Or have they made it?
Speaker 1Yeah, is that not the biggest one? And you're like maybe there's a bigger? One somewhere Is that what you're, no Right.
Speaker 2I don't know Ripley's believe it or not.
Speaker 1Yeah, if you see it. So you either believe it or you don't yeah, right and if you see it, you believe it, so like if they had a shrunken head and a little case in there and they're telling you all about it and you're like, do you believe it? Are we supposed to believe that it is, or is or is that the question that it's a fake shrunken head?
Speaker 2or that they made it like they that's why I said fake yeah that it's not real.
Speaker 1Okay, I'm really questioning them.
Speaker 2After they've got so much of our money. I know You're questioning them, yeah.
Speaker 1I don't know why I went back that last time. I don't know either I don't know, like I thought something was going to change inside the building. I mean, it was the same, everything was the same, it's all the same yeah. And there's nothing. I mean nothing really, Because I got to questioning everything.
Speaker 2Jody questions everything now.
Speaker 1When they've got an emperor's clothing or whatever on display from Japan or whatever. It was like that and you're reading all about everything, I start thinking do I believe this or do I not believe this?
Speaker 2Well, I guess that's why it's called believe it or not.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I got to where I don't.
Speaker 2You don't believe it yeah or not is what I'm. So you think they made it all up.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2Or what.
Speaker 1I don't think they did, but I'm starting to think. A lot of this stuff is not legit.
Speaker 2Not legit? Yeah Too legit, too legit. Hi, hi, too legit. How come you can make a lot of stuff words that you say into songs? I mean, you don't make them into songs, but they are songs.
Speaker 1No, it just jogs your memory into thinking about a song.
Speaker 2It's crazy Because I do it all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1Because if I said I'm going to sit here and do some swinging, you're going to start thinking swinging Right.
Speaker 2Just swinging, swinging, and we'll be swinging.
