Ever wondered how to keep your cool amidst summer's sweltering heat? Join us for a laid-back Sunday evening as we navigate the peaceful sounds of nature, interrupted by a rowdy cockatoo and a speedy water patrol boat. We'll share personal tales of dealing with oppressive heat, from heat exhaustion concerns to the challenges of maintaining our hair care routines in such sticky weather. Despite the humidity, we end with a light-hearted embrace of the summer ambiance that has its unique charm.
Next, let's talk pools—both above-ground and in-ground. After a rare rain in Alabama, local vegetation is thriving, but our new above-ground pool wasn't as lucky, thanks to some mischievous local cats. We explore humorous alternatives like kiddie pools and discuss the hefty price tag of in-ground pool maintenance. From there, we dive (pun intended) into eye care woes, touching on the difficulties of wearing contacts while swimming and pondering the potential benefits of LASIK surgery.
Finally, let's chill out with a chat about specialized ice makers and the joy they bring. We reminisce about receiving one as a memorable Christmas anniversary gift and debate the best fast-food joints based on their ice quality, with Chick-fil-A taking a top spot. Our conversation then shifts to favorite frozen treats and the best places for ice cream and milkshakes, sparking memories of childhood delights. Wrapping up, we delve into documentaries and current events, sharing our thoughts on Gypsy Rose's story and reflecting on the recent passing of notable figures. Tune in for a well-rounded mix of humor, personal anecdotes, and thoughtful reflections.

Lazy Sunday Evening Chatter
Speaker 1hey, hey, folks, we're back on. A beautiful sunday evening, sun's going down, birds are chirping. Sunday evening, sun's going down.
Speaker 2Birds are chirping, something's chirping.
Speaker 1Not a cool breeze. I know that. No, breeze I hear our little doggies inside, just a barking.
Speaker 2I can't hear them. You're not. I see our friends down in the water though.
Speaker 1I do hear that crazy bird two houses down, that cockatoo. Yeah, let's see if you can hear it. Surely people can hear that. I guess, what's going on?
Speaker 2It's hot out here.
Speaker 1We just watched the water patrol go by with its lights on and siren Don't know where he's going, but he was a-booking.
Speaker 2He sure was. I don't like that. Makes me nervous that something's happened.
Speaker 1We had one person that died on the lake last week.
Speaker 2Yeah, he sure was I don't like that.
Speaker 1It makes me nervous that something's happened. We had one person that died on the lake last week. Yeah, Was it?
Speaker 2I heard that it was heat exhaustion, and then he fell in the water and drowned.
Speaker 1The one that I told you about he was working, wasn't actually a younger boy? Yeah, he was working. Yeah, is that true? I don't know. Okay, that's what I was told today. I don't know?
Speaker 2Yeah, I just know that I found out he was on a job.
Speaker 1Yeah, so yeah, I was a younger guy, 19 years old. Yeah, that's bad, hate that.
Speaker 2Yep, All right so. It's hot out here.
Speaker 1It is hot, it's muggy. You got a little fan. You got this Roby battery operated fan that's blowing on you.
Speaker 2I wish I had it. This is not doing good for my hair tomorrow.
Speaker 1You'll have to wash it tonight Because I curled it today. You'll have to wash it tonight.
Speaker 2I ain't washing it. It can go, something will happen to it.
Speaker 1This humidity is not good for when you curl your hair, like I couldn't go, like not washing my hair in the morning, like getting up and I'm used to it now.
Speaker 2It don't bother me, but you trained your hair. You said You're right.
Speaker 1I don't understand that You're right. It just keeps it from getting as greasy now. Yeah it doesn't get. Because it's trained. Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2And age may have a little bit to do with it, because everything on me is dry.
Speaker 1now Age, that's nice.
Speaker 2I know my face is so dry. It's horrible.
Speaker 1Anyway, you can't blame it on the time of year.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1Because it's hot and sticky.
Pool Predicament and Home Maintenance Discussions
Speaker 2Yeah, bad hot.
Speaker 1We actually got rain just a little while ago. It's the first time it's rained in I'm going to say three weeks.
Speaker 2For what? Maybe 20?
Speaker 1minutes. It might be a month, I don't know. I think it's been a month.
Speaker 2We've had showers in Jasper, but they never made it to us.
Speaker 1We're in the middle of Alabama, and it'd be in the summer. We get a pop-up shower all the time, usually this time of year. I mean, of course it is dry, but we've had a long dry spell. All the grass is dead, everything's dead, people's plants, shrubs, everything's done. Hadn't had to cut grass in two weeks.
Speaker 2I know Didn't bother me a bit.
Speaker 1I like cutting grass too but this year didn't bother me this time because it's been so hot.
Speaker 2All right, so you were saying so last week we talked about my new pool. I got.
Speaker 1Above ground or in ground.
Speaker 2Above ground. Jody didn't post that picture like you said he was going to, so he moved it.
Speaker 1I'll get right on that here in a minute.
Speaker 2He moved it out of the no. No, no, no, this happened before you moved it the top. Okay, so it's on our concrete. We have a little concrete patio where.
Speaker 1I usually park Carport.
Speaker 2Where I usually park. So I hadn't been pulling all the way down, because I had my pool there and I was going to get back in it One day. We come home from work and these unwanted creatures that we have have poked a hole in it.
Speaker 1Called cats.
Speaker 2They are unwanted.
Speaker 1Now you're accusing them without knowing for sure.
Speaker 2They did it. I know they did Because I don't like them and they don't like me Are you sure about that?
Speaker 1I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2Or you did it.
Speaker 1Well, that might be true.
Speaker 2I don't think you would do it. If I'd have poked a hole in it, I'd have poked a hole in every single layer and the water would be leaking out. Because you would have had to buy me another one and you would have had to blow it up again, so I don't think you did it.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2I don't think you did it. So now he's dumped the water out of it and pulled it over to the side. Well, I think there's a hole in the bottom of it.
Speaker 1Probably so.
Speaker 2So all you got now is like one middle part. Now how am I supposed to use that?
Speaker 1It's a $25 kiddie pool. What do you expect? It's $20. Just get one of those blue hard plastic ones.
Speaker 2You won't, let me have it.
Speaker 1Or get the turtle sandbox. We'll just put water in it.
Speaker 2Oh, that would work.
Speaker 1Put water in it instead. That don't hold much, though. But, I'm not very tall, so I feel like I could probably stretch out in there On that. I don't even know if butt cheeks could get wet and something like that Seriously, it's not deep.
Speaker 2Yeah, is it not too deep? No, maybe six inches. Maybe I'll just buy the plastic kiddie pools, the blue plastic ones.
Speaker 1That's what I just said.
Speaker 2You said the turtle.
Speaker 1Before that I said the blue ones, the plastic ones.
Speaker 2Oh, that's not what I was thinking of. I was thinking of, like, the bigger ones. I guess I wasn't thinking of that blue one. So yeah, now I don't know what I'm going to do. I've got to have a pool.
Speaker 1How much does an in-ground pool cost nowadays?
Speaker 2Oh, there's no telling, I have no idea.
Speaker 1I used to think for like $10,000.
Speaker 2I think they're a lot more than that. I think so. I think maybe it depends on Because of inflation.
Speaker 1you think it's a little bit higher, Maybe I?
Speaker 2think it depends on too. You know, nowadays people are getting these salt pools instead of just the Sea salt. Chlorine. What is it? Is that what it is?
Speaker 1I don't know why are they getting salt pools?
Speaker 2I thought it was easier to take care of, but I don't know.
Speaker 1Does that not burn your eyes, though, when you're underwater? I?
Speaker 2don't think so.
Speaker 1Do you open your eyes underwater?
Speaker 2I don't think so.
Speaker 1Like in a regular pool.
Speaker 2It's been a long time since I've been. No, because I have contacts.
Speaker 1Why don't you rock and stop getting further away from it and coming?
Speaker 2closer. I can't help it you can hear me. She's rocking over there and like she's rocking my rocking chair far away from the mic. Then close to the mic, it's not bad and close to the mic.
Speaker 1It's not bad. No, I don't open my eyes underwater. I got contacts. Can't open my eyes. Well, no, yeah, I lose my contacts. I'm gonna go swimming.
Speaker 2I have to take my contacts out and then I can't see, so I don't like to do that, me too need to have that what is it?
Speaker 1called you get LASIK LASIK Need to have LASIK eye surgery.
Speaker 2Yeah, that would fix it. I don't know why we've never looked into that.
Speaker 1I figure I'm not a candidate for it. I don't know why, Because I've had an eye surgery before and I just figured it's going to affect Blister. Yeah, I had to have a laser.
Speaker 2You've had all kinds of weird things, I know.
Speaker 1I've still got issues, don't I?
Speaker 2Mm. Yeah, we won't go there.
Speaker 1From the neck. Did you see that big flop From the neck down? We're not talking about the brain.
Speaker 2You said that big flop.
Speaker 1I did not, but I'm sure it's a fish.
Speaker 2Maybe, so anyway, I don't think I'm going to be able to use my pole again.
Speaker 1Well, no, you're not.
Speaker 2Well, what am I going to do?
Speaker 1Because you said it's got a hole in it.
Speaker 2We're going to try it. I'm going to make you blow the bottom one up.
Speaker 1You only used it one time anyway, I know and I want to use it again.
Speaker 2You used it on the 4th of July, uh-huh.
Speaker 1That was on a Thursday.
Speaker 2Oh really. So I'm in there puking and pooing my guts, and you want me to come out here? No, are you?
Speaker 1talking about the day after the 4th. Was it that weekend?
Speaker 2No, or the next one, all right, so let's go back to the 4th, then the 4th was on a Thursday.
Speaker 1What did you do Friday? Did I see your butt in the pool?
Speaker 2No, what about that Saturday? No, because you, you went to podcast. I did have to podcast, so I'm not sitting out here by myself.
Speaker 1Why.
Speaker 2Because somebody will get me.
Speaker 1In your driveway.
Speaker 2Yes, nobody around yes.
Speaker 1So that Saturday you wasn't in it, that Sunday you wasn't in it. Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, then you were sick.
Speaker 2You can't do it during the week. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1You can't do it during the week.
Speaker 2I'm not doing it on a Sunday because I've got to go back to church on Sunday night. Saturday, you had me doing something else.
Speaker 1I fast-forwarded to the next weekend.
Speaker 2Saturday you had me doing something else, no that was when you were sick. Not Fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 1Okay, I Working on the room, probably Probably. Or a studio that I'm trying to finish and I can't finish. My goodness, I'm trying, you're good. I did put a window in.
Speaker 2You did I forgot about that.
Speaker 1I replaced the window.
Speaker 2You think you could take it back and get us a black one, Because I think I really want black windows. It looks really good what I've seen.
Speaker 1I would rather paint it instead of trying to take that booker back out and put another one in because I think you need to take it out I'll just tell you replacing a window by yourself and why is that?
Speaker 2you got a 19 year old that could help you? You just won't ask.
Speaker 1No, he did he held it in place. Well, I tried to get it and he hastily tried to help me level it and all that stuff. So he did help but, some stuff you just can't. If you got two people, only one can do certain things, and I was the one so I did.
Speaker 2You got to teach him I did utilize him some.
Speaker 1You got to teach him Well it's hard to teach somebody that don't want to be taught. I have some birds coming in, but when you're young, it's you know, when you're trying to. Well, it's not like when I was growing up. You know you had to. You learned how to change your own oil.
Speaker 2That was your only choice.
Speaker 1You had to, you learned how to. You know everything about your tires, all this kind of stuff, just daily maintenance, weekly maintenance, monthly maintenance. You just that was just part of life. You know, my dad never would have paid for an oil change.
Speaker 2No, mine either. Mine won't pay for a car wash or an oil change, but nowadays you have to.
Speaker 1Oh, and I forgot about this. So when I took, because now you have to have a special oil wrench or whatever to get the filter, filter wrench, whatever it's called, to get the filter off on my truck, so I didn't take it, you don't?
Speaker 2even have a new new truck either.
Speaker 1I know 15?. It's a 16.
Speaker 22016.
Speaker 1So I didn't take it to the dealership where I bought it from, because it's $125 for the oil change. Now They've jumped up their price like $35 and it's crazy. So let me finish.
Speaker 2I got's crazy, so let me finish. I go to Women's Tuesday.
Speaker 1Let me finish. Please let me finish my statement before you interrupt me, I'll take it next time, so I took it to the women's place that you're talking about.
Speaker 2Ladies Day. You didn't take it on Ladies Day.
Speaker 1No, I didn't take it on Ladies ain't no lady, that's right.
Speaker 1So I took it there and so they're changing my oil. And then they say I know the guy's got an oily rag and he's coming up to to me because I'm sitting in the truck right. And he said you see this oil filter right here. And I was like, yeah. He said, well, you see this new one that they're. He said this is the one that actually goes in your truck. The one that's in there is not the right one. I was like you got to be kidding me. So, long story short, I told him I said you know, when I got done I'm going down the dealership and and ask him about it, where you usually have it changed.
Speaker 1Well, I usually have it changed and where I bought the truck. Now, this ain't this make and model, is not the the type of the dealership. I've got a toyota. The dealership's a chevy dealership. So, uh, they said that in the Chevy handbook or whatever that it tells them this oil filter. But I looked it up and there's nothing. This small oil filter does not go in my truck, it's a bigger one.
Speaker 2You said it was twice the size.
Speaker 1Twice the size of the one you know. The guy was real nice, I was real nice. I just wanted to get to the bottom of it and make sure that they knew that they're not putting the right one in it.
Speaker 2You went back down there.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2To the.
Speaker 1To the dealership.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, for about 30 minutes talked to them To the point, like I told them. I said don't apologize again. I mean because I know you didn't do it. Whoever one of your did, you say I'm not coming back I told him I that's the reason that I said my I've got my old chains here since I bought the truck.
Speaker 2I said I've got my old chain and the truck before that we bought there for two years.
Speaker 1I've got my old change here. I said, and y'all jumped up y'all's prices, so I'm not paying 125. I said so. I went to this other place. I said they're the ones that's telling me it's wrong. I researched it and now I'm back to let you know.
Speaker 2So that's what I was doing oh, sorry you done over there, I was singing that I'm trying to tell a story and you're over there that just made me think of a song singing, and dancing, all right.
Speaker 1So that's my oil change. So so oil change. Oil change Change out a window. Almost done, putting flooring. What is it? Vinyl, what is the flooring I'm putting in?
Speaker 2What's it called, not linoleum.
Speaker 1It's vinyl, it's the wood type Sticks together. I don't know. I've lost train of thought.
Speaker 2Flooring yeah.
Speaker 1That's all I know. Input and like shiplap type, yeah, stuff up anyway, so soon maybe that room. Oh, and I changed the light.
Speaker 2I took the old light. I found a light I want for our room.
Speaker 1Speaking of light, well, good, maybe I'll yeah, all right, what else you?
Speaker 2I don't know if I got anything.
Speaker 1I've got something that I wanted to ask you.
Speaker 2What do you think? Jody and his million questions?
Speaker 1Yeah, what do you think? Or what restaurant do you think has the best ice or ice cubes?
Speaker 2I know the number one answer. Hold on.
Speaker 1Now I've looked at two places. This is from the Daily Mail.
Speaker 2This is my source. I thought you were going to say Daily Mountain Eagle, no.
Speaker 1That's the source and it's the top 11 best fast food ice cubes. So we will start here. Before I start, you tell me what you think is number one.
Speaker 2Number one is the Ratliff Kitchen.
Speaker 1The Rat House.
Speaker 2The Rat House.
Speaker 1Hmm, where's that? Oh, that's here.
Ice Maker Chatter
Speaker 2That's here.
Speaker 1Why do you say our ice is the better? I have to emphasize ice.
Speaker 2Because a couple of years ago, I got the best Christmas anniversary Christmas present ever. I guess it's been about two years, hasn't it?
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I got the Sonic Ice Maker.
Speaker 1That's not the name of it. That's not the name of it, but it makes ice.
Speaker 2That's the kind of ice that it makes the small little pebbles. Whatever you call it, pellets, pellets. I love it.
Speaker 1So how big is this Joker? This thing's probably about as wide as a coffee pot.
Speaker 2A coffee maker yeah, but about twice as high, yeah, and it it makes. It just makes ice, and then I just take it and dump it in the ice bin in the freezer so how long does it take to make a tray of ice in this thing? To fill up our tray in the freezer, it takes two, two of the trays that's in the yeah, or it has to make twice yeah.
Speaker 1So how long does that take? A couple hours.
Speaker 2Yeah, it doesn't take too long. I mean, you can eat the ice straight from there, you don't have to put it in the freezer, you can just leave it there. But it's not a freezer, so it doesn't freeze the ice.
Speaker 1Yeah, it'll slowly melt.
Speaker 2It'll melt and then it recycles that water. So you've got to clean that thing every so often.
Speaker 1So you don't have to have it hooked up to a water source, you just have to add water. No, I don't have the one.
Speaker 2There are some that hook to a water source, but I don't have that one. Mine just. You just add water to it. Like you said, a coffee pot like. Right, so I feel like my before. We had that. We went and bought ice even though we had an ice maker in the old refrigerator that we had.
Speaker 1Because it was a regular cubes.
Speaker 2Yeah, we would go buy ice at our local grocery store because they done the crunch ice.
Speaker 1Yeah, do they still do that.
Speaker 2I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I think I've seen it. But we just did that because you liked that I would eat it. Yeah, you would just get ice, I would just sit and eat it, I would eat it Because, yeah, you would just get ice, I would just sit and eat it. I could eat a whole bag of ice in a week yeah. Probably less than that, that's called a problem. Well, I don't do it quite as much.
Speaker 2No, you don't chew on ice like you used to Not like I used to, but I do like it.
Speaker 1But I don't take ice in anything. I don't except in anything, except right now we're outside. Is this the fourth week in a row that we've recorded outside, because we find it more pleasant? Maybe, so I've got my tumbler and I've got ice in it and some Pepsi, and the ice stays. It don't melt in that tumbler, so I like it that way.
Speaker 2But anyway, any other time that I, but our tumblers are sweating today.
Speaker 1they are sweating and I am too, because inside you know, if I just I'll make a cup of whatever and I don't put ice with it yeah, and then the cooler in my truck, in the back of my truck is loaded down with water, bottle water, but there's no ice in there. It it's just whatever temperature inside the cooler is. That's what it room temperature Let me tell you.
Frozen Treats and Fast Food Insights
Speaker 2Speaking of water, let me tell you what I did Friday. Tell me so. Me and Nicholas went somewhere Friday morning. I always carry a bottle of water with me, or I usually make me a flavored water, but I didn't. I just carried a bottle of water and I sipped on it. You know a little bit. We got back home, I left it in the car and that was probably. We got home before. We probably got home around 11 or so and well, about two or three o'clock, I can't remember. I went back out to go get something. I'm gonna take a swig of this water. Oh my gosh, I spit that out right fast. That water was so hot it I felt like if I'd have swallowed it it would have burned my throat, not even thinking about it. I just picked that up and I didn't. Oh, that water was hotter than I take my showers and that's all I had.
Speaker 1And you couldn't tell or didn't think about it or anything. I just didn't.
Speaker 2No, because it's like I just wanted something. I mean I knew it was going to be warm. I didn't think it was going to be scalding because, oh, that was hot. I've never had water that hot but I like water room temperature. I don't I mean I can do it because I I leave it sitting there beside me when I'm working and I do drink at room temperature.
Speaker 1But you're talking, it eventually gets room temperature you don't start off with.
Speaker 2No, I don't start off with a room. No, I don't start off with it.
Speaker 1See, I start off with it. No, I don't All right, so let's get to our list.
Speaker 2So number one is Ratliff Kitchen.
Speaker 1That's right.
Speaker 2Okay, I need you to send that in to them. Ratliff Kitchen, all right, so number 11, taco Bell.
Speaker 1They got big ice, don't they? Yeah, it's big ice.
Speaker 2They got big ice, don't they? Yeah, it's big ice, so I guess they got big ice.
Speaker 1Yeah, number 10 mcdonald's, they've got big ice. It's not the small pellets right number nine, burger king. We're just gonna scratch that off and skip them, because I ain't got nothing for burger king but all these places have the same ice, yeah.
Speaker 2so like what I don, so like what I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1Number eight Dunkin' Donuts. You have any clue about them? Theirs is the bigger size, they have the. They had pictures with each one and it showed the bigger size ice.
Speaker 2In their coffees. I thought they had in their.
Speaker 1Well, it can't be pellet size if it's coffee, because it all melt.
Speaker 2Cold coffee, that's all. I drink Cold coffee. Yeah, I was just kidding I really thought it was the pellet ice, but now I don't know.
Speaker 1Now I'm going to have to go tomorrow and get me one so I can find out. It's the thicker size. Number seven Jimmy John's no clue, I'm just going by the picture. It was the thicker ice. I don't know if I ever had Jimmy John's.
Speaker 2I've had it, but I can't say that I've been there. I think, somebody brought it to us.
Speaker 1Number six I don't think of ice when it comes to this place, but Starbucks. Yeah for cold coffees do they sell more cold coffees than hot coffee? I think they do, I don't know maybe you should look that up. Do you think cold coffees are taking over hot coffees?
Speaker 1or in popularity, more I hear more people talk about because you can drink the cold coffee all the time, yeah, from say 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night, if you wanted to. And a lot of people just want coffee in the morning and don't like it throughout the day or in the evening.
Speaker 2I could probably do a cold coffee in the evening.
Speaker 1I could do a hot coffee right now.
Speaker 2I know you can, you drink it all day I would, if I could.
Speaker 1All right, number five, Pizza Hut. I don't know. It showed the thicker size ice on it too, but I don't know.
Speaker 2Because I don't.
Speaker 1We don't visit Pizza Hut. Yeah, these establishments, I don't go there. All right, number four Dairy Queen Thicker size is what it showed. There's no difference.
Speaker 2How are you judging ice?
Speaker 1There's no difference, judging us, there's no difference if it's the same.
Speaker 2Yeah, the the cups they put them in are different maybe, and they don't melt as fast as if you got a plastic cup or a styrofoam cup or a sounds to me, like I don't think anybody uses styrofoam.
Speaker 1These right here aren't necessarily on the popularity of the ice, it's on the popularity of the establishment, what it sounds like to me on these. But anyway, number three, zagsby's, if everybody does, everybody know what it is I love some zagsby's, it's a chicken place I like their ice. I usually order extra, extra ice does zagsby's have fried chicken, or is it all just baked or whatever do they? It's all fried. Is it fried? I don't care for zagsby's, so fried chicken, or is it all just?
Speaker 2baked or whatever Do they. It's all fried.
Speaker 1Is it fried? Yeah, I don't care for Zagsby's, so I can't think.
Speaker 2I mean, it's not all fried. They do have some.
Speaker 1I mean, they have it all.
Speaker 2You like the honey mustard when I get the tenders dipped in honey mustard.
Speaker 1Do I.
Speaker 2Mm-hmm. Hot honey mustard.
Speaker 1Yeah, you want something with a sauce, I know.
Speaker 2That's never your number one pick.
Speaker 1So anyway, they've got the small ice yeah it's good, so it's popular. All right, number two we're getting down to it Chick-fil-A.
Speaker 2I love some Chick-fil-A.
Ice Cream and Milkshake Musings
Speaker 1They've got the small ice. I think they sell it. I think you can buy oh maybe I think, Maybe, I think, yeah, could be wrong, but it seemed like I read that, so all right, and number one Ratliff. Kitchen. If I had a drum roll, I'd do it right now. No, sonic, sonic has the small pellet eyes and apparently that's the most popular All right, because Sonic is a place known for their drinks, like you know.
Speaker 2hey, there's the cop, oh, and they're pulling somebody it's called the water patrol yeah, that's what I mean. But I mean, like you know, you go to sonic just for a drink, sometimes like a cherry limeade or a yeah the big thing now is these dirty dr peppers what is that? I think it's vanilla and coconut in a dr pepper.
Speaker 1I'm not sure because it just I don't know I just saw a commercial, a little caesars commercial, that it was either pepsi or dr pepper, and it was pineapple, pineapple dr pepper or pineapple Pepsi flavor.
Speaker 2I don't think I can do the pineapple in a Coke that does not sound. I just like the cherry.
Speaker 1I mean, why are we doing these weird things?
Speaker 2I don't know, but a lot of people like vanilla Coke and vanilla Dr Pepper.
Speaker 1Well, vanilla, yeah, I can see that, but now we're just going less weird stuff.
Speaker 2Pineapple, the cherry and a Coke is good.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're right about that Cherry Coke.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't think I want pineapple.
Speaker 1You don't like cherry. Pepsi, you just don't like Pepsi. I don't like Pepsi.
Speaker 2It's sweet.
Speaker 1Is he just trolling with his lights on?
Speaker 2No, I thought he's got something behind him.
Speaker 1Oh he's, do you not see it? Yeah, he's pulling a, he's dragging it.
Speaker 2Somebody got in trouble, Well.
Speaker 1I guarantee that there's a young'un on board with him that doesn't have a no, possible no license.
Speaker 2Yeah, doesn't have a boater's license. We don't know, we can't say that.
Speaker 1I guarantee that's what it is.
Speaker 2I can look it up on Facebook. They probably know.
Speaker 1So anyway. So I looked at another review on ice and the number one and two slots on it was the same Sonic. Another review on ice and the number one and two slots on it was the same.
Speaker 2Sonic was number one with it and chick-fil-a, so apparently people are in for them. I I think sonic is your number one, like I said, because it's a drink place, yeah, and I think if they didn't have that good ice, it wouldn't be as good I think that's yeah, that's a big turn on for people.
Speaker 1Well, I mean, it's making reviews, so all right, let me ask you this oh, here we go. So who has the best like ice cream or milkshakes? Is is it always going to be like your sonic or your dairy queen? Or can we say dunkin donuts and mcdonald's can you throw all these in there? I will say this. And McDonald's. I can always remember growing up, their hot fudge ice cream or whatever it was. It was in this cup thing.
Speaker 2Oh, we always got dip cones.
Speaker 1No, this wasn't a cup. This was in like a plastic container thing. And it had the hot fudge in it.
Speaker 2It was so good. We always got a dip cone and I love the butterscotch. You don't like butterscotch, do you?
Speaker 1I do like butterscotch, butterscotch. You don't like butterscotch, do you? I do like butterscotch.
Speaker 2You do Well the candy. I don't know if I would like one of the ice cream. It was good dipped ice cream dipped in it.
Speaker 1Now doesn't, dairy Queen? Aren't they the only ones that do that?
Speaker 2This was McDonald's, I'm pretty sure. No, you might be right, it might have been Dairy Queen.
Speaker 1I don't know what's.
Speaker 2A dilly bar A dilly bar is the round ones that are white vanilla ice cream and then has the chocolate on top of it and it's in a circle and it's on a stick.
Speaker 1Oh, so it's a I don't know what.
Speaker 2I'm trying to say it's a bar Ice cream on a stick.
Speaker 1Yeah, so it's like packaged.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what I'm trying to say. It's a bar Ice cream on a stick, yeah, so it's like packaged, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why Dilly Bar is. You're making me want ice cream. I know, I know.
Speaker 1So Sonic, I think milkshakes, I think any of these places you go to, I wouldn't turn down like a chocolate or vanilla, aren't they basically going to be the same, I think. So yeah, now, if you venture off into the flavors, like you're gonna put heath bar cookies and cream and stuff like that, I can see a difference because some of them might not have it as thick.
Speaker 2Yeah, the pieces might be smaller I like a thick milkshake because by the time they make it and you get it, it's not.
Speaker 1It's too runny for me, like I don't like that yeah, I get that, but I'm talking about the flat, I'm talking about the pieces they put in oh yeah, you might be like well, I don't like sonic because their heath bar pieces are so small and they don't put enough in there, I always pay extra and get extra heath bar now they probably charge you double. That's crazy probably it's crazy for you to pay it, not crazy for them to charge it. I know but when?
Speaker 2but when you want it, you want it.
Speaker 1Dunkin' Donuts. What do they have?
Speaker 2I've never had ice cream from there.
Speaker 1Do they have all that stuff?
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Is it Baskin-Robbins too? Didn't they go in merge?
Speaker 2Are they together? Is that what it is? Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 1You've been there, I haven't been there.
Speaker 2I've never been in, says outside hey, we are also.
Speaker 1Baskin Robbins or something, Maybe. I know they got ice cream. I know they got a good breakfast. What is that? Oh, yeah, that sandwich. Yeah, some kind of croissant thing Bacon, egg and cheese croissant.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think Jody's hungry. Yeah, I am, I've only fed him once today.
Speaker 1So McDonald's has just basically got milkshakes and like the hot fudge type thing. Yeah, the sundaes, yeah I'm going to say all of your Hardee's and all those, your Burger Kings. They're just going to have the normal little cone with a.
Speaker 2Who knows? I don't know what they have.
Speaker 1So, out of all of them, what's the best? I'm going to say? You're going to say Sonic.
Speaker 2Uh-huh, I like sonic what about the uh, I mean dairy queen's good too, I say dairy coin because it but I went to dairy queen because sonic never had heath bar. Sonic has heath bar now, so I'm probably a sonic person on that right so what about uh, I lost my train of thought.
Speaker 1Oh uh, dairy queen, the banana split. Are you a banana split person?
Speaker 2I love bananas I know you do, I'm not I I don't really care, it's okay, I'm not but like I'm not ordering it, like if you get it I'll have a bite maybe or something but who would have thought of that?
Speaker 1Who thinks of putting a banana with ice?
Speaker 2cream. I mean seriously Three different flavors of ice cream, but you can throw a little bit of pineapple, strawberry and chocolate.
Speaker 1You throw some chocolate syrup in there. I think you could probably just dip a banana in chocolate syrup.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And it'd be mighty fun.
Speaker 2They have those, do they yeah?
Speaker 1And it'd be mighty fun. They have those, do they? Yeah, I'm out of the game. I don't get out enough.
Speaker 2Frozen bananas.
Speaker 1I don't want a frozen banana.
Speaker 2Well, it's like dipped in chocolate or something like that.
Speaker 1So then you categorize it as frozen.
Speaker 2I guess so, I guess so.
Speaker 1Well, how about that?
Speaker 2How about that? How about them apples? No, he's talking about bananas.
Speaker 1Oh, I did. I found out this weekend that I have a problem, and don't look at me Just one and don't comment, Just letting everybody know. For some reason they're having some kind of antique roadshow marathon on TV. You found the channel. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2It's a whole channel. It's never going off.
Speaker 1So if I go in there right now, it's on, it's on. Oh my goodness. See ya Folks, I don't know what it is. I don't know if y'all watch it.
Speaker 2Coming to you live from Antique Roadshow.
Speaker 1If you go, Just give it 20 minutes. I guarantee you don't want to get up.
Speaker 2It's on the Roku.
Speaker 1Roku.
Speaker 2Since I've been debating on getting rid of.
Speaker 1Spectrum.
Speaker 2Spectrum. I don't even know what we got.
Speaker 1Yeah, we need to get rid of Spectrum. It's getting way too expensive.
Speaker 2Long channels what the heck. Where did that come from?
Speaker 1You want local channels.
Speaker 2Local. We want sporting channels channels, but we're just gonna have to give that up and figure out how to stream it when it gets closer to football, why can we not figure out how to stream it? I tried it last year and nothing.
Speaker 1We done there was something weird going on with espn while we couldn't do it.
Speaker 2But anyway, that's fine but yeah, anti road show I am all in and then what's the other channel? They have that. Like we sit on our phones so much if we're in there. Like we sit on our phones so much If we're in there sitting down. We're on our phones because you can't find something on TV half the time.
Speaker 1Well, this is the first time I've actually sat in there and watched. Tv in a long time.
Speaker 2I found Antique Roadshow and I found Duck Dynasty. They just play continuously on these.
Speaker 1I liked Duck Dynasty. When it came out 20 years ago or whenever it was, I was a fan but now I've run it in the ground.
Speaker 1You have ran in the ground because you like I have it on, like I need something on, even if I'm sitting there not watching it but listen, I want the tv off in the bedroom at night I know I've gotten to where I don't. I don't want any light anymore and I won't light but the problem is is that you turn on this stupid duck dynasty and it's on all night.
Speaker 2So when alarm goes off and I get up in the morning, I'm seeing you're waking up with I'm seeing sigh or willie or jace or well, fine, I'll turn antique roadshow on and then you won't get, then you won't go to work. I'll get caught up. That might be a good idea.
Speaker 1It's amazing Because I've looked at these things and the stuff that I think is trash, junk, whatever it's not.
Speaker 2I'm getting ate up now.
Speaker 1I see.
Speaker 2Yeah, so we need to go catch us some antique roadshow. No, no, no, no I've watched enough yesterday no, I gotta stay away watching tonight.
Documentary Discussions and Current Events
Speaker 1No, yep, no, what else we? We watched a documentary. I didn't get to see all of it, I saw like the middle part gypsy rose oh, let's go start with gypsy rose. You had it on I had it on, but I, I didn't, we, we hadn't finished it yeah, I just know the story of when she killed her mother or she didn't, she had somebody her boyfriend.
Speaker 2Yeah, she met online or something.
Speaker 1Yeah convinced him to do it. She's in jail, she's out now, right other than that, I don't know all that made the news but uh, it was kind of interesting. But I don't know who to believe in that, because a lot of this she starts throwing her granddad under the bus for things that he might have done and I'm like, hmm, I don't know. She seems very immature, but I understand she was kept from a lot of people and access to stuff, right, so that's why she's immature.
Speaker 2I don't understand how her dad couldn't do. I mean, I don't know. Like I said, I've not watched it enough and to really know, I don't think I would.
Speaker 1What's going on? If you wanted to watch it again, I would be like that's not well, I don't think we finished it no, that's what I said. I've just seen like the middle part, didn't see the beginning, hadn't seen the end. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2The other one when I came home the other day was you had the selene d on oh yeah, and I want to go back and watch it again, because I had it on, but I was on my phone so I really wasn't paying attention till the end of it well when I walked in at 51 minutes or the middle of it.
Speaker 1I remember, 51 minutes had already already been played when I walked in there and I hadn't even thought about her in a long time, all I could think of man she is aged.
Speaker 2But she's got something wrong with her?
Speaker 1Well, everybody's aged when you haven't seen them in a long time. Yeah, she's got problems and all that stuff.
Speaker 2It was a good documentary. I want to go back and watch it again.
Speaker 1Well, I need to start from the beginning and watch it. Yeah, but when it comes to documentary, I don't care what it is, I'll watch it.
Speaker 2I like documentaries. What's that other one? I started, don't know, and you were. It was a music group. Duran, Duran this has been like maybe last month or something.

Speaker 1So what was number three?
Speaker 2Shannon Doherty.

Speaker 1Netflix, your Honor. It was okay, it's the actor from Breaking Bad, bryan Cranston, cranston, yeah, that's how you say it, it just, it got. It was good, Like I wanted to finish it.
Speaker 2Okay, but.
Speaker 1No, it was good starting off.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And probably maybe the it was two seasons because it was originally on Showtime and now it's starting off. Yeah, and probably maybe the it was two seasons because it was originally on Showtime and now it's on Netflix.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So basically what eight, nine episodes was the first season and then kind of on that second season started dragging its feet, yeah, and it really drug out until I don't. Even we watched the last episode and I don't really remember anything that happened Because I was falling asleep and I don't really remember anything that happened because I was falling asleep and I don't really care to go back.
Speaker 2Yep, you fell asleep. Yeah, I don't care about going back, Because I asked you what something meant. Oh, because well, I won't say it.
Speaker 1Yeah, we don't want to ruin it because it ended that long.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I do need to know Jody pays attention to detail and stuff more than I do in shows and movies.
Speaker 1You know, this is what drives me crazy about you. Let me tell everybody right now that you can what don't drive you crazy about me? Nothing. This is the only thing and I'm gonna tell the world right now. How can you get up and walk away from the tv a movie, whatever and go wherever for five minutes and come back and sit down and start watching it again like it don't bother me? You missed five minutes.
Speaker 2It could have been a crucial part to the plot I know, but if I'm not into it it don't matter, you don't bother me at all you've got to hit that pause I don't care. Jody has to hit the pause every time. Yeah, if you're talking, if you want to start, I'm like I just gotta run to the bathroom, right quick but if you want to start a conversation, I pause and.
Speaker 1I'm like let's get this over with so we can get back to the movie.
Speaker 2Jody pauses it. No, because it'll be that time somebody says so that's why I need to know something, because I guess I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 1It'll be that one time somebody says that one sentence that you need to know 30 minutes later.
Speaker 2Yeah, this must be why I don't.
Speaker 1That's why I don't like the movie theaters, Because, like if you have to get up and use the bathroom or something like that.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, they're not going to pause it for you, are they? Yeah, no.
Speaker 1No. So you've got to hurry. So you've got to figure out, you've got to try and wait until a low spot in the movie, you know, to where you can say, hey, let me go run and come back, love it. Yeah, we got a ton of birds right here in front of us eating Under the flagpole.
Speaker 2We got a ton of gnats eating too, because I'm getting eat up Are you, I'm not my legs are Ankles, I guess that's time to go then if they're eating up.
