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 2:At the age I'm at now.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, here you go asking a question about my question.
Speaker 2:Well, I got to know.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, at the age I'm at now.
Speaker 1:You're 10.
Speaker 2:I would no.
Speaker 1:You're at now, you're 10. I would no. You're age now.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:No disrespect, but that's not exciting. I was thinking you were going back like 100 years 200 years.
Speaker 2:No, I don't want to go back. Biblical times.
Speaker 1:Go to the future and see the technology.
Speaker 2:Not 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 1:So 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 2:So that's what I think's exciting.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And 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 1:tell me what well, when I get married, my mom all has some good advice.
Speaker 2:She 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 1:Is that what she said?
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. You know, she almost did my pawpaw one time.
Speaker 1:Really yeah. Is that your mom's mom or your dad's mom?
Speaker 2:My 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 1:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah, 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 2:No.
Speaker 1:You don't want to go back to the western days?
Speaker 2:No, I'd like to wear some of those big dresses, would you yeah?
Speaker 1:Work in a saloon. I hope you wouldn't want to work in a saloon.
Speaker 2:I don't want to work in a saloon, I just want to wear the dresses.
Speaker 1:That's pretty bad if you did that.
Speaker 2:I didn't say I wanted to work in a saloon.
Speaker 1:I just said. I hope you didn't want to.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I don't want to. So what would you do?
Speaker 1:I'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 2:That's a hairdo, okay.
Speaker 1:What's the big fluffy dress that's got the.
Speaker 2:I don't know what they're called.
Speaker 1:Isn'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 2:It's a hoop.
Speaker 1:I was thinking that had something like a bouffant name to it.
Speaker 2:I don't think so. That's what I was thinking. Well, that shows you how I got you, you scoring them points.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:Swinging doors.
Speaker 1:What are they good for? Because they don't go up and they don't go down.
Speaker 2:That'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 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Is that not the saying?
Speaker 1:What's the saying? I know it's like don't let the door hit you where the good Lord splits you.
Speaker 2:No, 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 1:Hmm.
Speaker 2:You know, we had those swinging doors in my house when I was a kid.
Speaker 1:Did you?
Speaker 2:You 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 1:I 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 2:And then their swinging doors. They put swinging doors up right there. No, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Is 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 1:best 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 2:I said we're done talking about that.
Speaker 1:Oh, I guess nobody wants to know when I want to go back in.
Speaker 2:Well, you said the saloon where I was.
Speaker 1:I was just saying that to make conversation, but never mind.
Speaker 2:Where do you want to go, doesn't matter. Now we're going to the fall now.
Speaker 1:Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:Go ahead.
Speaker 1:Talk 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 2:Go, no Go, I'm over it. We're going to sit here and fight Argy.
Speaker 1:No, go ahead. I'm going to get a sip of my Pepsi while utah go.
Speaker 2:Let'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 1:I'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 2:I wouldn't come out here and podcast earlier because it was hot.
Speaker 1:Anything 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 2:I think you're thinking about a show we watched.
Speaker 1:I don't know where you can go.
Speaker 2:Travel 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 1:Something similar to that? Yes.
Speaker 2:Okay, so where are you going to go in the future?
Speaker 1:That'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 2:I 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 1:I 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 2:You don't remember anything when you come back. Yeah, that cat's going to get him one.
Speaker 1:Is it a squirrel?
Speaker 2:Well, I thought birds landed oh.
Speaker 1:Sure 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 1:yeah, 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 2:No, 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 1:I'm kind of thinking that we might have like a China flag or a Russian flag over this area in 30, 40 years.
Speaker 2:Let's not say that the rate we're going. Why you say that.
Speaker 1:Oh, 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 2:Did you make it there you weren week.
Speaker 1:I did barely.
Speaker 2:No help.
Speaker 1:Struggled 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 2:And 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 1:He 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 2:Every time you called me, y'all was fussing.
Speaker 1:We always fuss. It's funny fussing though Mm-mm. Yeah, how was your week? Now that we're back to on planet Earth?
Speaker 2:nowadays, in the present. Yeah, my weight was good. Didn't really do nothing. Don't reckon.
Speaker 1:I got another question, did we?
Speaker 2:But it felt like fall all week, so let me go back to my fall.
Speaker 1:Can 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 2:What happened to my question?
Speaker 1:look, 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 2:All 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 1:There's a runaway trolley going down this track.
Speaker 2:Is this for real? You got me, I'm throwing a scenario You're telling me a story.
Speaker 1:I'm going to ask you what you would do in this situation.
Speaker 2:I want to talk about the fall.
Speaker 1:All 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 2:What do you do? I go, untie one person and change the trolley.
Speaker 1:You change the track.
Speaker 2:I go untie and I change the track to the one person track.
Speaker 1:I don't think you have time to do all that.
Speaker 2:Yes, I do If this is a scenario. I got time to go unt that. Yes, I do.
Speaker 1:If this is a scenario I got time to go on time, Okay. Final answer.
Speaker 2:This is stupid. I can tell I've already walked into something.
Speaker 1:No, 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 2:Why are we talking about this? I don't know.
Speaker 1:It's just I was going through some questions.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:I didn't think of it myself.
Speaker 2:We're going to the fall.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:What would you do I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 2:I really don't, because that would be a— Just stop asking me questions. I don't like questions.
Speaker 1:All right, no more questions.
Speaker 2:No more questions.
Speaker 1:Talk about your fall y'all. I know Dead air come on.
Speaker 2:It's felt like fall this week, has it not? It's felt good.
Speaker 1:It was 64 this morning and a very cool breeze off the lake when I got up.
Speaker 2:Well, I might have jumped the gun too soon because I dressed like fall to go out of the house.
Speaker 1:This morning.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The high was 91 today.
Speaker 2:You didn't tell me that.
Speaker 1:You told me that if you go outside it's cold, You're going to say it's cold out there At that time.
Speaker 2:So I wore what's it called.
Speaker 1:A turtleneck Leggings.
Speaker 2:I wore long leggings.
Speaker 1:And a turtleneck.
Speaker 2:I don't own a turtleneck, that's you.
Speaker 1:I don't own a turtleneck.
Speaker 2:And I burn up, and all I done was go to my booth and go to Walmart and I burn up.
Speaker 1:But Because you didn't go till 12 o'clock. And guess what? I?
Speaker 2:wasn't home at 12 o'clock.
Speaker 1:Thank, I wasn't home at 12 o'clock. Thank you.
Speaker 2:I'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 1:I don't know what is happening and you have the air off in the house.
Speaker 2:So I'm thinking have you lost your-? I didn't turn the air off. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1:The air was not running.
Speaker 2:And 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 1:So 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 2:Let's get ready to rumble. Oh, that's the wrong thing.
Speaker 1:That's nice, we'll take it. I thought you was going to change it up.
Speaker 2:Though, let's get ready and then put another word in there, I know, but I couldn't make it work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2:Food-ball. I'm so ready.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:Why the way it was.
Speaker 1:It just wasn't produced or done right because it was.
Speaker 2:It didn't To me. It didn't feel like it really gave any kind of information.
Speaker 1:It 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 2:Well, that's what I thought it was going to do.
Speaker 1:It 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 2:Well, 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 1:Two. 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 2:Maybe 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 2:And I've done some things in the house and you haven't even noticed it.
Speaker 1:It'll taste funky.
Speaker 2:You haven't even noticed it.
Speaker 1:Well, I did notice that there's a cow skin rug in the pod room. You stole my rug. Stole pod room.

Speaker 1:I guess we know who you're voting for. Is that why you did that?
Speaker 2:I 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 1:you don't want a man to be feminine, is that what you mean? I?
Speaker 2:don't need to do all this stuff myself, because my man is supposed to do it for me.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're talking about. Like the women that just say, women that don't like men.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because 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 2:I like my man to be my man.
Speaker 1:I know I can do things but you know what I don't have to.
Speaker 2:There'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 1:Look, men and women are equal right To an extent, no, we're equal yeah. But we're not the same.
Speaker 2:I want you to do my stuff.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1:I'm a princess, you should be. I mean, I'm a princess, okay.
Speaker 2:That's not how you were supposed to react to that.
Speaker 1:I just said okay, you were telling me something and I said okay.
Speaker 2:That's not the right response. Anyway, how did we get on this?
Speaker 1:I 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 2:So 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 1:Okay, so how come you didn't make coffee for me this morning?
Speaker 2:Because, 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 1:It goes both ways there you go.
Speaker 2:I'm off on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Speaker 1:Are you? Yes, that's nice yes.
Speaker 2:A lot of people have to work. More power to them, I'm glad.
Speaker 1:Rub it in. Rub it in their wombs.

Speaker 1:Really, how do you forget that?
Speaker 2:Because 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 2:I miss Kmart. I don't I like.
Speaker 1:Kmart? Why Kmart had nothing?

Speaker 1:Kmart 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 2:I 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 1:does a store slash company go from that successful to gone? You know.
Speaker 2:So are there no Kmarts anywhere?
Speaker 1:I think there's two left.

Speaker 1:I didn't want you to get plopped on.
Speaker 2:Don't need to be plopped on. So that's my oddity for this week.
Speaker 1:I want to know how big the factory is.
Speaker 2:That didn't give any kind of details.
Speaker 1:I'm saying a pez factory right right surely it's not real big, I know pez is everywhere.
Speaker 2:It 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 1:It'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 2:Okay, it's a pill of candy, right? Well, I mean you got to make the dispensers, is what you're.
Speaker 1:Well, I bet they don't even make it.
Speaker 2:They have that shipped in from China. Okay.
Speaker 1:Don't you think?
Speaker 2:You're all about this China, I don't know. That's all I got from my roadside audience Just one roadside audience.
Speaker 1:Yeah, where's that big old ball of yarn at? I've always heard about it.
Speaker 2:You have not. You saw it while ago.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:You 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 1:So if they had it on display, is there really a question of whether you believe it or not, because you see it?
Speaker 2:Because you see it.
Speaker 1:Or is it like?
Speaker 2:Or have they made it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:I don't know Ripley's believe it or not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:or that they made it like they that's why I said fake yeah that it's not real.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm really questioning them.
Speaker 2:After they've got so much of our money. I know You're questioning them, yeah.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Jody questions everything now.
Speaker 1:When 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 2:Well, I guess that's why it's called believe it or not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I got to where I don't.
Speaker 2:You don't believe it yeah or not is what I'm. So you think they made it all up.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Or what.
Speaker 1:I don't think they did, but I'm starting to think. A lot of this stuff is not legit.
Speaker 2:Not 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 1:No, it just jogs your memory into thinking about a song.
Speaker 2:It's crazy Because I do it all the time, all the time.
Speaker 1:Because if I said I'm going to sit here and do some swinging, you're going to start thinking swinging Right.
Speaker 2:Just swinging, swinging, and we'll be swinging.
