This That And The Other
This That And The Other
32. Fall Festival Fun, Fast Food Frustrations, Halloween Candy Debate, and More
Can parking people for a fall festival really be as challenging as herding animals onto Noah’s Ark? Join us as we unravel the chaotic yet heartwarming experience of our church's fall festival, where nearly 1,200 attendees brought both joy and parking headaches. We’ll share tales of Belgian horse carriage rides, a gospel presentation that touched hearts, and our future plans of sneaking off to Little Debbie Park. After missing a week of recording, we’re back with more stories stuffed with humor and lessons learned from life’s unexpected turns.
Remember the thrill of spontaneous road trips and the internal debates over which travel snacks to bring? We take a sweet trip down memory lane, sparking a lively debate over Lemonheads versus Red Hots, and indulge in Halloween candy nostalgia. As our tastes have matured, so have our snack choices, but not without a chuckle at our peculiar past habits like cereal after dinner. Moving from the sweet to the salty, we tackle our fast food frustrations, reminiscing about the days when junior bacon cheeseburgers were a steal and sharing some hilarious mix-ups at the drive-thru.
Our household may seem a bit like a circus with its myriad of pets and planning mishaps, but it’s packed with laughter and stories worth sharing. Peek into our playful pet antics, from the unexpected arrival of kittens to the quirks of our miniature cat, "Itty Bitty." We also dip our toes into the eerie and suspenseful world of the "Teacup" series, pondering its strange twists and turns. Throughout it all, we extend our gratitude to you, our listeners, and promise more entertaining episodes on the horizon, perhaps even with a pit stop at Little Debbie Park.

Well, we have disappointed our listeners again.
Speaker 2:I am disappointed.
Speaker 1:We missed a week. I know Life happens so bad.
Speaker 2:Did we not promise that it wasn't going to happen again, or we would try hard?
Speaker 1:Yeah, this time of the year might be a little hard From our fall from October.
Speaker 2:I think we've proved that by not recording this past time. Yeah, so sorry, we'll try not to we had a fall festival had a fall festival that occupied a lot of time a lot of time.
Speaker 1:My job gets really busy from here on out in a way kind of it used to. I'm not involved in it as much as I used to be. I got kind of cut out a little bit maybe. Nah, yeah, you're involved.
Speaker 2:It's good not to be as involved sometimes, though. I miss it Because you were 100% in it and then I got dragged into it. So I'm like, don't be too mad about it Don't be my association, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1:So yeah, we had the fall festival, great turnout, great turnout. Really good turnout, it was fun.
Speaker 2:I kept thinking in my mind 1,200 is the number I had for the people that showed up.
Speaker 1:I think they're saying more, around 1,000.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I think between the ones that didn't register because you had a bunch of people.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I got sick this week too Did you.
Speaker 2:You know there's people that didn't register because you know you had a bunch of people. Sorry, I got sick this week.
Speaker 1:You know there's people that didn't register. We're going by the numbers that registered and maybe tried to add more to it.
Speaker 2:I guess for the ones that didn't register. Yeah, so I tried to count cars, you know, after we were parking them up there you were, the parking team yeah, and it just kept flowing, never ending, never got out of the field never stepped away from the field.
Speaker 2:The trunk or treat team I was telling, uh, josh and spencer, you all right over there. Okay, I was telling josh and spencer that at one point, when it kind of slowed down a little bit, I had nicholas come over and kind of take my spot and I was going to go try and do a quick count on the cars. And I got over there and they asked me how many I got to and I said 32. I quit because I was like there's no way, there's no way I can count this. 30 is what it was in one row. You know we'd had it to where it was actually going to be. Yeah, that would have been right, but at one time I just estimated at one time like 300 cars we had up there. They just kept flowing in.
Speaker 1:And every car probably had.
Speaker 2:About four people At least two. Well, I'm going to say three.
Speaker 1:Okay, three, because you've got two parents and a. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So it was was, so that was fun and nobody knows how to follow directions when we're trying to pull them into a field to part, coming off of a major road. It was a disaster it wasn't that bad. Well, you weren't up there it shouldn't it should not have been you needed big signs. That's what.
Speaker 1:Walter said you all right, sorry, yeah, I just can't. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Walter said the funniest thing. He said do you think Noah had as much trouble getting the animals into the ark as we're having getting the people into the field? That's a good one. That's a good one, it was. It was ridiculous at some time, much trouble getting the animals into the ark as we're having getting the people into the field that's a good one, because it was it was, it was ridiculous at some time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's good, so so that was our life last week and this past weekend it's amazing how you spend so much time trying to prepare and get something like this done, you know, and it lasts three hours prepare as long as some of them did no, oh, like, like. What I do is like last minute yeah like maybe a couple of days before all my. My main thing was the field had to get cut before I could do anything.
Speaker 2:So you know mode, I guess you'd say mold it down mold it down and then we had to go in there and try and make some lanes and do some spray painting and stuff like that. So that was kind of like the day before a full day kind of. But then the day of you got all the jumps being delivered, food trucks coming in, you know they're getting everybody lined out on where tables go and chairs go. So they did a wonderful job with all that.
Speaker 1:Something different we had this year was the horse carriage.
Speaker 2:That's right. I keep forgetting about the horses. Belgium, belgian.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Horses yeah, it was Belgian something. Horses.
Speaker 1:And you got to listen to the gospel presentation. Yeah, so it said if it was, we could drop that on here one day this week. Yeah.
Speaker 2:We'll do that.
Speaker 1:The prodigal son when we drop this.
Speaker 2:we're recording this on a Friday and I might drop this right. When we get done, I edit it and I might just send it out there.
Speaker 1:You think I'm going to turn around and do another one, and then you might have to do another one. If you take me to the no, not the dairy queen, hold on, let me think about it a minute little debbie.
Speaker 2:How'd I get? There little debbie well if you take me to the little debbie part tomorrow, I will record well, let's just go ahead and get the two recordings under our belt, and then we'll decide about the little debbie part. No, that is my second one.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, I will record I'm not going to drive three hours.
Speaker 2:I don't think.
Speaker 1:We told the people we're going.
Speaker 2:It's not over with. I mean, it's not like we're never going to go.
Speaker 1:I'll drive you, don't got to drive Just because we're not going to go tomorrow, I'll drive. Anyway back to the horses and the carriage, which I call it a trailer. Yeah, it wasn't really a carriage.
Speaker 2:I don't guess. Yeah, I mean a wagon, it was a big, but I still call it a trailer just because of the length of it. But it was a wagon.
Speaker 1:It was cool, but I think they said there's a duck family.
Speaker 2:Yep Looking at those ducks. I can't see them. I got my glasses on.
Speaker 1:I can't see them down there because I planned on reading something.
Speaker 2:Uh, they said, if it was just kids, I think 40 around 40, yeah, but with the adults and all that you know, like maybe 30, something like that. So I mean it held a lot of people stayed full the whole time too so we had the prodigal son story. That lasted 12 minutes. That's about the the amount of time that the carriage ride took and uh, it was just a presentation that was pre-recorded and uh, it was very good it's real good.
Speaker 1:Y'all done a good job on it.
Speaker 2:So yeah, if, if it works out, if I sniff. I'm sorry, but yeah, if it works out, we'll try and put that out there. You just have to keep in mind mind, when we put that out there as an episode, that it is related to a hayride and it's giving you directions at the beginning of it to keep your hands inside, you know where to look as it's going, that kind of thing. So that's what it is, but the story is what's behind it.
Speaker 1:That's the main point of it, the story that's good, it's very good. Yeah, everybody that did was part of the story did a good job yeah, so that was last week and I'm just glad to say there really was nothing going, yeah yeah, because you got to think after the fall festival oh, we had that other meeting after the fall festival.
Speaker 2:It wasn't just like, alright, head to the house.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you got to clean up.
Speaker 2:You know, and we're talking night 8 o'clock at night, picking up cones and trash and you know, and everybody doing their own thing. You know, me and Nicholas had a trailer up in there, you know, getting the cones, while other people had a truck going around picking up tables and chairs and putting them back. You know where they go and had to help the guy with the jumps and the garbage. And, yeah, you're doing another transformation back to normal. So, yeah, but we do a wonderful job as a church.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, everybody jumps in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we make it happen. I mean, we have so many volunteers that help, we make it happen, and then we get afterwards, we get it cleaned up. Can't even tell you know we had the signs are down, everything. Yeah, so the next day it just business as usual, I guess you could say, except we had to get ready for a meeting. That's right, we had a. Associational church meeting. Baptist Association meeting for the county.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so.
Speaker 1:Y'all hear Nicholas hollering.
Speaker 2:I think Call of Duty, the new Call of Duty, came out, or something like that it did Everybody's talking about, so I know he's. He was involved in that too.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm. So we done with that. I am Fall Festival yeah.
Speaker 2:Like I said nothing.
Speaker 1:We're just smooth sailing this week. This week has been yeah, yeah, I guess, so what? No, you had yeah yeah, I just hadn't felt good this week. Well, you got all this head cold well, just dry weather.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, if you go out there, like if you cut grass or if you blow leaves or anything like that, you're blowing all this dust up and all that stuff, and so yeah, I've got it drained or something. Well you know, there's some allergies going around too. Yeah, Right now, or whatever is out.
Speaker 1:Does that make your body hurt too?
Speaker 2:Probably not.
Speaker 1:It don't hurt, like it did at the beginning of the week. Well, probably not. It don't hurt like it did at the beginning of the week.
Speaker 2:Well, I'd always say first thing when his body aches, I just say well, age, that's the first thing I'm talking about myself.
Speaker 1:There you go because you're older.
Speaker 2:Then the next thing is, if I do, if my head or whatever does hurt, then I might think well you know, this might be some kind of cold thing.
Speaker 1:But the number one.
Speaker 2:Thing is age, or did I overdo it the day before?
Speaker 1:And normally that's not a no you do, you overdo it every day Anyway.
Speaker 2:Anyway. So I got a question for you, uh-oh.
Speaker 1:I didn't prep you for it either.
Speaker 2:No, because you came in here like nothing. Hey, I told you about four or five things ideas to talk about and you just shot me down and said nope, mine was like news related, I don't like news, I know, but I want to cover some topics. Well, maybe one day. This wasn't like the presidential race. I wasn't going to talk about nothing like that.
Speaker 1:Oh, we should go live during the election.
Speaker 2:No, that would ruin it for me.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Because I can't concentrate.
Speaker 2:I for me. Oh yeah, Because I can't concentrate.
Speaker 1:I might be a bundle of nerves, I might not say a word. I might.
Speaker 2:You'll just hear silence. No, if we record during that, you might hear me cuss, you never know. Uh-oh, uh-oh, depending on the way it goes.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I doubt that, all right so. So she said we used to travel a lot Not a lot, but more than we do now. When we was in our 30s, 20s and 30s, it wasn't nothing for us to pick up on the weekend and go somewhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I wouldn't just say like travel, because that sounds like we hop a plane and head a couple of states over.
Speaker 1:My travel is in the car going to another state.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one state Like a weekend getaway.
Speaker 1:So, so she said Jodi always has to have candy. What's your favorite?
Speaker 2:travel candy. Have we not talked about?
Speaker 1:this what's your favorite travel candy?
Speaker 2:I'd say Lemonheads.
Speaker 1:Or Red Hots.
Speaker 2:I couldn't decide which you would say Lemonheads or Red Hots. But I think with Lemonheads I could eat more. I could probably overdose on Lemonheads, have some kind of diabetic coma, something happen. If it is it gets to where it starts tearing your mouth up. Well, yeah, yeah. So I think that's a plus. That's what keeps me from going overboard.
Speaker 1:So we would always get us a snack bag yeah, candy bag, but I think that's mainly on the ride back, because it helps me stay awake.
Speaker 2:I get very sleepy when I drive, especially coming back.
Speaker 1:I usually just sleep, so I guess I never need.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't ever hear me hit God's Braille on the side of the road, yeah, so that was my question. Or combos, yeah, combos. Would you rather have like candy, candy or just like a snack? Because there's just not. I wouldn't get like a bag of chips and eat going down the road.
Speaker 1:You have, but not much of the time I'm not saying that I haven't ever done, I'm just saying, normally I wouldn't I'm a I don't know, it depends on if we've eat, I guess you know like, but I think I'm probably more of a candy girl. I like, I like the candy. I even like candy better than chocolate. Like I'd rather have candy. Oh yeah, like I have a bag of Sour Patch Kids right here. Yeah, I couldn't remember what they were called, so I had to read it.
Speaker 2:But isn't Sour Patch? Isn't that all gummy type? Yeah, that's they don't have any kind of hard candy do they Mm-mm?
Speaker 1:Sour Patches are gummy sour.
Speaker 2:No, sour patches are gummy sour. No that, that kind of gummies okay, I don't like. Like gummy bears and gummy worms. That's a different to me type of gummy.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean I think it's because you got the sugar on these and gummy bears and gummy worms, you don't?
Speaker 2:it's just that straight gummy yeah, but it seems like the texture of the gummy is jelly Jelly beans. That's different than gummy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like jelly beans, I mean they're gummy, but it's not like gummy gummy.
Speaker 2:Ever since Sweet Tarts went with like gummy.
Speaker 1:Oh, Sweet Tarts are.
Speaker 2:I mean the jelly beans and all that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sweet Tarts, jelly beans those are our favorite, aren't they? I fill that candy jar up two or three times when those things are out what about for halloween, though?
Speaker 2:I think?
Speaker 1:we only got candy corn one time because I couldn't find it.
Speaker 2:I know, but I haven't ate a single piece of candy I told you it was over there I never even think about the little dish that we have I tell him these things are everywhere.
Speaker 1:I'm like you got honey buns in the cabinet, you got brownies in the refrigerator in the cabinet, you got cookie dough in the refrigerator, and it sits there for two weeks and I finally give up and start eating it.
Speaker 2:I don't know I don't ever think about it. I've gotten where I'm snacking a little bit more than I normally do.
Speaker 1:You used to snack all the time. I know you used to eat supper and then you'd get a bowl of cereal.
Speaker 2:I could always eat a bowl of Lucky Charms after we ate a meal. I don't know why.
Speaker 1:Back in our 20s.
Speaker 2:That sounds terrible in the stomach. Go eat your big old thing of spaghetti and then go get you some milk and some Lucky Charms.
Speaker 1:Mmm.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's nasty now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's what I got for you. What's your candy of choice? I think that. But back to the whole.
Speaker 2:Halloween candy. Halloween candy. What the what's your candy of choice?
Speaker 1:I think that, but back to the whole halloween candy halloween candy.
Speaker 2:What the the individually wrapped? It's wrapped in like I'd call it uh wax paper. It's like the uh peanut butter orange and the black individually wrapped, isn't it peanut butter?
Speaker 1:is it peanut butter?
Speaker 2:it's different though but it's cheap, isn't it? Wasn't that always like the cheapest candy?
Speaker 1:you could get. I didn't used to like it, but I like it now, Well, that's what I said.
Speaker 2:I said I don't like it, but I don't think I've ever tried it. I think I just had the mindset that I didn't like it.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's like straight, like I don't know.
Speaker 2:I had one the other day, I think as a kid, because I'm basing it on being young and seeing it and I think as a kid, since it didn't have like a label, a brand name, snickers or something on it. I guess in my mind I just thought it was terrible, or maybe it was like that taffy type stuff, maybe it was just something that just didn't appeal to me. You don't like taffy, I do, but I'm just saying that a young you know how your taste changes when you're young.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like onions now and I didn't used to.
Speaker 2:Well, you better not go to McDonald's and get the onions on the quarter pounder, because you might get E coli.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't visit McDonald's.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying because that's in the news, but where did I visit the other?
Speaker 1:day place that I did.
Speaker 2:We're supposed to be boycott we're supposed to boycott, but I can't help it, and burgers are so good sometimes, I know, but I've been, I've been he has not gone back. I have not and I'm not going back so I went back to know we had a bad experience at this one terrible two years ago, terrible, terrible, and those people probably ain't even there I'm sure they're not. They shouldn't be so, but anyway from that moment on. It's not that I'm not setting foot in that establishment. I'm not setting foot in any Burger King ever.
Speaker 1:Well, I did and I do. So I was at Burger King a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not quite Bea.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the other couple weeks ago. Yeah, not quite, but yeah, yeah, and I'm just like these boys can eat some burgers. So I can't go to freddy's and buy them three burgers a piece because that's fifty dollars at freddy's, but freddy's has got some good burgers. So I go to Burger King and I guess I just had the wrong mindset. I get up there and I said, well, first of all, they had some new menu items and I like to try new things. Some kind of cheese, something, maybe, I don't remember what they were. But I asked them for two items that were on there. They didn't have the first one. I said, okay, well, let me try this one. Oh, I'm sorry, we don't carry that one. Either you don't have it or you don't carry it. We don't carry it. I said but it's right here on your menu. I said forget it. And I told her that I said just give's right here on your menu. I said forget it and I told her that I said just give me six junior bacon cheeseburgers.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:Did you get what I just said?
Speaker 2:I did. I just let it sink in to somebody else, but go back to the you said two items that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, two items that were like new items or, like you know, they're limited time items or something, and they were just like little snack items, some kind of cheese. I don't remember what it was Hot chicken fries or so she didn't say that they were out of it. No, she said we don't carry that and I'm like it's right here on your menu.
Speaker 2:You might need to get the magic marker and scratch that off the menu. Then right.
Speaker 1:So then I said well, just give me six junior bacon cheeseburgers.
Speaker 2:Did she say all right, or did she say excuse me?
Speaker 1:I just sat there a minute.
Speaker 2:And you couldn't figure out why right and I'm like hello.
Speaker 1:And a guy came back on and said okay, so you just want regular bacon cheeseburgers? I said yeah.
Speaker 2:And you didn't think nothing of that.
Speaker 1:I thought nothing about it until I got home and I'm like and then people might not realize that you're saying that that's Wendy's.
Speaker 2:That is Wendy's Junior bacon cheese that you tried to order that I tried to order at burger king.
Speaker 1:How many times you done that?
Speaker 2:never, because I don't go through drive-thrus that's true.
Speaker 1:If we go through a drive-thru, I order jody drives, and that's the thing that's funny.
Speaker 2:But you know what? I've met a guy and I told you about it that, uh, we were talking Me and him are very similar with a lot of stuff and he told me he hates drive-thrus and if he ever goes through it that his wife orders across. You know he's driving Same thing I do. And I'm like that's the same thing.
Speaker 1:I do.
Speaker 2:So I thought that was funny.
Speaker 1:I hate going in. I'd rather go through the drive-thru. Why I hate going in? I'd rather go through the driveway. I'd rather go in, I just hate going in.
Speaker 2:I don't See, and that's the opposite for me. I don't like being around a lot of people.
Speaker 1:So why do?
Speaker 2:you like to go in? Yeah, I don't like. I'm not a, you know, a social butterfly.
Speaker 1:But you have two podcasts.
Speaker 2:To me it seems like I don't know.
Speaker 1:The guy that never talks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it seems like I don't know the guy that never talks. It looks like it's to me. It's more of a hassle to go inside.
Speaker 1:I'm doing just the opposite of everything that I stand for Right.
Speaker 2:Why is that?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know. So yeah, that's my stories. Junior Bacon Cheeseburger at Burger King they don't have those, by the way.
Speaker 2:But you got what they have.
Speaker 1:Whatever they got, y'all got.
Speaker 2:Is that not a rodeo burger?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I thought a cheeseburger or a burger with bacon on. It was a rodeo burger I don't know. That they used to have.
Speaker 1:Junior bacon cheeseburger sounds good right now.
Speaker 2:It does If we can store that. Well, you know you used to get it pretty cheap.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for like a dollar right, and now it's like Probably three.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:At least At least they have those dollar menus anymore.
Speaker 2:Can't find those anywhere, unless you want, like a sweet tea, a large sweet tea.
Speaker 1:Well, they're not a dollar, they're a dollar fifty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're not a dollar, they're a dollar fifty. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think it's just drinks. Now they sometimes offer for a dollar. Yeah, any size, for you know you're not going to. Oh, let me tell you something else. Tell me, is it just for me or are you going to tell everybody?
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell everybody, everybody. Okay, the last two weeks I have tried to go get a cookies and cream milkshake from our local Jack's and they're out of cookies and cream.
Speaker 2:Is there some kind of recall? Well, they get their stuff from Blue Bell.
Speaker 1:So it had to be from a Blue Bell issue. Well, it's been like two weeks.
Speaker 2:I know you get a delivery in two weeks from them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they twice a week. Yeah, there's no cookies. It's the big five gallon right drum or whatever bucket that they there's no cookies and cream. I was very disappointed then when we got those sometimes these things happen, you know but for two weeks.
Speaker 1:Then we got those six dollar meals that jacks does and I wanted a. They have a pot pie and it's made kind of like. They're like a lemon pie or an apple pie, you know the way. You know it's a long like. I don't know if people know what I'm talking about, but so so I ordered a pot pie. Oh, I think I did this for lunch. I didn't do this when we got those meals and so that was my lunch. I got that and a salad, and I get here and I'm eating my salad and then I open my pot pie and I bite into it. It's strawberries and cream yikes that was very disappointing.
Speaker 2:When you're thinking you're getting something hearty like you're getting vegetables and chicken, yeah, and you need something sweet and I'm like what? Oh, I've been disappointed with jack's here lately yeah, that's why I'm not going back for a while.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you had bad experience too.
Speaker 2:Huh, yeah, last two times Well, last time it was just insanely.
Speaker 1:Slow yes.
Speaker 2:And then I got overlooked with my order. Oh yeah, darn it, so that.
Speaker 1:Then you dropped your fries.
Speaker 2:Then I dropped my fries in the floorboard when I got in the truck and that just set me all off. I was like dang gum it.
Speaker 1:See, you should have just ordered the drive-thru, maybe.
Speaker 2:I should have. Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Well, maybe that's what they were doing, Maybe they were just servicing everybody in the drive-thru. That's what it seemed like, because I only had two people in front of I can't believe you stayed. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I cannot believe you stayed.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I'd already paid.
Speaker 1:Oh, still, all right, that might be all of my.
Speaker 2:And then they got my name wrong, cody.
Speaker 1:Oh, Cody.
Speaker 2:Well, she called me Cody when I went up there and said hey, I said the people that's ordered after me, I said seem to be getting their food before me or me. I said I think I'm getting overlooked. And the lady that's working at the register, she was older, she wasn't real good on the register. So I'm thinking second day, third day on the job. But then somebody else came over and looked at their little screen up there and she said are you cody? So I'm assuming I just thought, well, they did my name wrong, you know, because they they usually call me joey or spell my name or whatever.
Speaker 2:And I said, yeah, and then so they started getting it together. So you're Cody, yeah. But I looked on the screen and it said Jody. So she just looked at it wrong and then I was like my goodness.
Speaker 1:My goodness.
Speaker 2:So, but it is where I could get it at it's convenient.
Speaker 1:Yeah, especially a couple of days. That's the whole thing. Yeah, it's convenient for us On Monday.
Speaker 2:I'm right there at it Right. Right around lunch. I could get in and get out, but the problem is I can't get in and get out because you can get in.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:But you ain't going to get out with your food.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And I understand the whole thing about being shorthand and all that and I get it, I get it, but you know I'm done for a while.
Speaker 1:You're done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess you got a text message.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm trying to. I'm going live in my VIP group later later and I feel like nobody has seen it, so I was trying to bump it up well, we're podcasting right now, but I know, okay, I'm done, let's go. All right, what you got over there no, I'm, I'm spitting out.
Speaker 2:You wouldn't let me talk about any of my news stories, so I was letting you control me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what you want to talk about space.
Speaker 2:Did you say the rocket that came down um spacex about a week and a half ago, that the booster rocket that took them up? It came back down backwards, I guess you could say it almost looked like it was in reverse and it got. They call it chopsticks the little tower that it that it shot off of or whatever, came back down and it caught it. It was unbelievable. It looks fake probably is that's not fake you sure?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, what would it be like to be Elon Musk right now? That's not fake, you sure. Oh yeah, what would it be like to be Elon Musk right now?
Speaker 1:Oh no, but he sent me a message the other day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's always sending you something on TikTok or something. He's a busy guy.
Speaker 1:Well, apparently he Think about it Tesla.
Speaker 2:I'm not talking about the fake accounts you're talking about.
Speaker 1:Tesla. Oh, we seen a Tesla truck yesterday. I thought.
Speaker 2:During the fall festival I saw it drive by.
Speaker 1:It is ugly, ugly, ugly.
Speaker 2:Ugly. So he's got Tesla, you got Starlink.
Speaker 1:We're about to get attacked.
Speaker 2:Does everybody hear that cat? We got a cat that's about to get attacked. Does everybody hear that cat? We've got a cat that's about to get attacked. Listen, SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla and then all of this other stuff he's got. What about Starlink? What about it? Do?
Speaker 1:you know anything about Starlink?
Speaker 2:What about it? Do you know anything about Starlink?
Speaker 1:I know that it costs over $400. $429 for the hardware tax and all Get it set up and it's $110 a month for them to be your internet provider and you looked it up and it says when it rains it might not work.
Speaker 2:So it ain't no different than anything else. Yeah, it says rain can affect your service, and also I heard that cloud heavy cloud cover could do it.
Speaker 1:We have cloud all the time. I know.
Speaker 2:Now, if it said $50 a month, maybe I'd be like you know what this might be worth it, but then I'd have to definitely go in and look at reviews and all that, just to make sure. But but then I'd have to definitely go in and look at reviews and all that, just to make sure. But the good thing about it is you can take it anywhere Out on a boat, you can take it camping in your car, anything like that. So that's the good thing about it. So you can get internet access wherever.
Speaker 1:So if you're one of these people that goes on these hunting trips, you know. If it works, though what if it didn't work out there?
Speaker 2:Well, it will you sure? Yeah, unless, apparently, if it's heavy rain or heavy cloud cover. I think I'm. I'm not, it's just an isolated. It's like anything else. You get mad when you know when, back in the day, when you had cable and your cable would go off for you know 10 minutes. But how often does that happen? Not very often. But the way I look at it, that's not an option $110 a month is not a good option. No better than what we got now.
Speaker 1:Well, it's worse, is it not?
Speaker 2:Yeah, not by much, jody's giving out on me over there. I'm just listening to you making all that noise with that. If you'd leave that microphone alone.
Speaker 1:I can't help it. Well, stop touching it, I can't because it's back here and I can't get close to it.
Speaker 2:Well, lean into it.
Speaker 1:No, my back will hurt. I'll let it aggravate you.
Speaker 2:We're outside again, of course, if you can hear the crickets and all the wildlife, it's dark.
Speaker 1:There's no more action on the lake anymore.
Speaker 2:No, it's gotten cool enough to where, like on the weekends, you will have some boats out there. There's a few people that you see, you know, being hauled behind the boat and stuff like that. But the water is getting cool and the nighttime is cool. Definitely. Mornings are cold.
Speaker 1:I'm sitting out here with a blanket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just cool it off. I've gotten aware now that it's getting here, I'm ready for summer to be back. I just don't like cold weather.
Speaker 1:I don't like cold weather, but I don't like hot either. I'm in the middle.
Speaker 2:I guess when could you go? Where's the perfect place for the perfect climate year-round?
Speaker 1:Is there Really?
Speaker 2:I asked you first.
Speaker 1:I asked you Pinch poke, you owe me a cup? Yeah, I asked you first.
Speaker 2:I asked you, peach poke you on me a couple. Yeah, I don't know. I think there's always a trade-off. Wherever you go, kind of like now, you see, like Florida, you might have good weather, but you have to deal with hurricanes and that kind of stuff, unless you have to deal with tornadoes.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Go to California, deal with wildfires and earthquakes, mm, but you don't have to deal with hurricanes or snow, unless you're up on the mountains and now you shut down.
Speaker 1:I was thinking I hear the noise and I wasn't moving and you were blaming me for the noise. But I don't think that was me.
Speaker 2:Pretty sure it is. See, that's you, that's not's you, that's not me that's not me. I'm not moving there's no noise coming from anywhere right now, cause you're being very still no, I'm not, I'm moving, that's you.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness, gotta love us. You gotta love us folks. Alright, I guess, that's it. It's you. Oh, my goodness, gotta love us. You gotta love us folks.
Speaker 2:All right, I guess that's it.
Speaker 1:We wrapping around.
Speaker 2:I reckon so.
Speaker 1:I didn't let you talk about nothing you wanted to talk about, you shut it.
Speaker 2:No, you didn't.
Speaker 1:What did you want to talk about you?
Speaker 2:ain't saying nothing over there, so I'm shutting it down.
Speaker 1:What did you want to talk about?
Speaker 2:Oh, it's too late now I can't go 30 minutes into it and then start talking about a topic. Why you need to like what you do is you go into it, you got small talk, whatever five or ten minutes.
Speaker 1:We had small talk and then bam.
Speaker 2:Then you go into your topic Not 30 minutes and then go into it.
Speaker 1:Well, that was your problem.
Speaker 2:Because what if I had 30 minutes or 45 minutes worth of a topic to talk about that would to talk about now will be over an hour To be continued. It's too late for that To be continued. No.
Speaker 1:Well, guess what Next time we record, I'm just going to sit over here and not say a word, and you can just have it.
Speaker 2:You want to do that, we can do that. I'll stay inside and you just record by yourself you want me to do solo.
Speaker 1:There you go. I think you want to do it anyway.
Speaker 2:Why do you say that? I don't know I try and come up with a topic and you're like absolutely not, I don't like topics.
Speaker 1:I just want to go at it.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:I don't like topics. Do people like topics?
Speaker 2:I think so.
Speaker 1:How do you know?
Speaker 2:Did you ask them? I'm pretty sure topics are the way to go on a topic that's fine well there's a very small percentage of people that actually comment or do anything when it comes to social media. Most people just listen or like, even when it's a instagram or it's called tick, tock or whatever out in the hall.
Speaker 1:They're waiting out in the hall and they don't come in and talk. Everybody's in the hall.
Speaker 2:You just swipe, nobody hits that like.
Speaker 1:I didn't, and then swipe.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm just saying a very small percentage, just like the comments and stuff like that, or leaving an email with anything like this. Just that small, and it's usually the ones that's got something bad to say.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know that'll do it, so that's where you look at it. It ain't like people don't care or nothing like that. It's just people don't care. People don't do it. I need you to do it. I get it.
Speaker 1:I need to feel wanted Talk to you people. I try Tell them.
Speaker 2:I try Well, tell them, there's the microphone. Tell them.

Speaker 2:We say we can be like all right, yeah, Jody's going to go solo next week, and then next week comes, and then nothing happens, or we'll both be together and won't say anything.
Speaker 1:Well, if you're going solo, then you can do it whenever you want to do it no, I'm.
Speaker 2:You said I'm going solo if you'd take me to the little debbie park I don't like the whole spontaneous thing it's not spontaneous because we've been talking about it for months right, but we didn't plan, we just said one day, and then you come like eight hours from now.
Speaker 1:You want to leave? I'm not leaving in eight hours heading to nashville I don't like to plan. Is that where it's at? Yeah, outside of nashville, okay, I think 20 minutes I don't like to plan. Just get up and go. Okay, that's, that's where we're at in our lives. We don't have to plan anymore. We could just get up and do it whenever we want to why do you say that? Because we're in that season where we ain't gotta do anything for anybody else.
Speaker 2:Uh-oh, bless you, he's getting it now I had to mute my mic because I felt it coming on glad you.
Speaker 1:you muted it, goodness.
Speaker 2:I got it. I'll start talking like this right here.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so we're in that season and we don't have no kids to worry about.
Speaker 2:I mean you really do. We got two dogs we have to worry about. We can't just leave them sitting idle in the house.
Speaker 1:Yes, we can no.
Speaker 2:We got five cats to take care of too. I don't care about no cats.
Speaker 1:I'm not taking care of cats?
Speaker 2:No, we have to protect the one little one.
Speaker 1:I'm not. I'm not a cat person.
Speaker 2:Maybe somebody out there can answer this question right here.
Speaker 1:All right, free cats to get home.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's not my question. But yeah, feel free. If you want them, I'll send them in a shoebox to you, one by one or all together. I can squeeze them all in one box.
Speaker 1:Don't take a video of that. You'll get some hate mail on that one.
Speaker 2:Probably, just for saying that Probably, but anyway, so we've got like the last little litter. Well, it wasn't no, I thought you heard something what oh, no, no no, no, no. You ended up killing like the last litter what my fault? You ran over two with in one at one time that was not my fault it was.
Speaker 2:It was when I had had my surgery, my back surgery, a month or two ago, and I just happened to walk outside and there's like two dead kittens in the driveway where you park and I'm like you took out two cats just by putting it in drive.
Speaker 1:I'm not coming out and looking for cats under my car. I know when I'm ready to go to work.
Speaker 2:I'm ready to go to work. But you know, we had two, two of them, uh took a ride with me. Well, yeah, we had five all together, then four, and then you killed the two, so we had two Thanks.
Speaker 1:Now I'm getting the hate mail, yeah you're a murderer. Don't be under my car.
Speaker 2:So they were still small, small, but I finally got them to where they were coming to me. I could pet them everything I'm talking little little, and then one day but they were just big enough to climb, I guess, into your, on your car, in your car, whatever. So just like one day they were gone. So all I know is they hitched a ride in your car and got flung out somewhere, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Somewhere.
Speaker 2:Hate that, but the litter. I know we're white trash if I'm talking about how many litters of cats we've had.
Speaker 1:It's not our fault. We did not ask for these.
Speaker 2:No, no we've never had a cat we've told this story for 26 years.
Speaker 2:Well, we've had smoky is the one I named her I guess that was two years ago now, so at least 24 years. Every our, every doll we've ever had out here has never seen a cat, because, you know, neighbors don't even have cats out here. But anyway, so this one wandered up. Long story short, we got kittens and then we had more kittens and then just multiply, anyway the point I'm getting to the litter. Before last, two of them survived, I guess you'd say out of that. And so now one of them is a full-size. I can still tell it's young, but it's a full-size cat. Its sister is not even half the size of that cat.
Speaker 1:I thought you said it's a boy.
Speaker 2:The big one's a boy.
Speaker 1:Oh, I got it backwards then I thought the little one was a boy.
Speaker 2:So the little one is not even half the size you would think. They're two liter, that's what you would think, but they're brother and sister.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like a, it's a munchkin, yeah.
Speaker 2:I call it itty bitty because it's so small, but it is so weird. So is this normal? Is something wrong with the cat? Is it just not hit his growth spurt? I mean, I don't know, other than it being small, everything is fine and it's friendly, but it's just weird.
Speaker 1:It's not friendly to me.
Speaker 2:Well, no, no.
Speaker 2:They run when I come out. But the other one is the one that got Nicholas called me one morning a week or so ago and he said hey, one of the cats are stuck in a tree. So I'm thinking the way nicholas is he's going to want to get the fire department out here because this cat's climbed up this tree. But no, there's a fork in the tree and the cat somehow had slid in between it, like so it was, its belly was hung in between it and I said what did I say I?
Speaker 2:don't know.
Speaker 1:If it got in there, it can get out.
Speaker 2:Well, apparently not.
Speaker 1:Well, that's its problem.
Speaker 2:So when he got back home, when he went to school, he heard it meowing and went up there to it. I can't remember now if he said he heard it meowing before he left.
Speaker 1:You tell me before he left, okay.
Speaker 2:So he heard it meowing but he didn't think anything about it. When he got back two or three hours later it was still meowing and the thing it couldn't move its back end. There's no telling. That cat could have been stuck like that for hours and hours, and so he was needing me. If he couldn't get it he was going to have to wait until I got home from work to get it. But it it lost all of its feeling in its hind legs. You know he finally got, and the thing was mean too. I could hear it on my phone when he got close. You know it was doing this little.
Speaker 1:How'd he go?
Speaker 2:I was about to do it, do, it Do it. I'm like rew.
Speaker 1:That ain't how you do it, r you did it?
Speaker 2:Jody and his son? Is that not it?
Speaker 1:That's exactly it.
Speaker 2:But I told him to get a glove and all this kind of or son. I said, just push it's high end up over. And so he ended up getting it and he said it hit the ground hard. I mean it was what? Head high, so what? Five feet, five or six feet high, but it basically drug itself off because it didn't have it. But the thing still, it's been a week and a half and it's still walking, funny. So I guess it did something permanent to it. I don't know, but I bet that was terrible being stuck in a tree and then losing, feeling that cat would have died. You realize that now. So how many animals in the wild do you think weird things like that happen to that they die?
Speaker 1:All the time.
Speaker 2:I've seen pictures of you know two buck deers that get in a fight and get their antlers stuck together and they can't get loose and they end up dying Stuff like that. Or get caught in a fence and all that, right. So you just thought we got talking about animals and I just started. You want me to talk some more? No, I don't I. You just thought we got talking about animals and. I just started. You want me to talk some more?
Speaker 1:No, I don't.
Speaker 2:I want to go watch the middle, I want to talk about the video I got of the doe that tried to jump over the fence and didn't quite make it, got hung up in it and did all kinds of.
Speaker 1:I want to go watch the middle.
Speaker 2:I can post that video.
Speaker 1:Do you remember that video? I want to go watch the middle.
Speaker 2:No. We got to middle. All right, I guess we've only got like two episodes, three episodes left, right and it's over, and then we'll start it over from the beginning, because I never started watching it from the beginning. Everybody that's listening to this knows, and we've talked about this everybody knows.
Speaker 1:I started hold on hold on, we're.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about teacup, isn't that the name of it? Yeah little it's uh, is it on peacock? Teacup is on peacock yeah, oh, I said that's what you say. No, that's how a chicken goes, whatever. But but if you listen, if you slowed it down, they would be saying peacock oh, okay, see, and that's a chicken sound. Yeah, it's not a, I don't think, a peacock, I don't know what. If you let me research that, I'll get back next week I will do a peacock.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Let me research that and I'll get back Next week.
Speaker 1:I will do a peacock sound for you. Stay tuned for the peacock sound. Oh my gosh, you get it, you finally understand. I did the first time.
Speaker 2:It's like you're blushing over there for some reason. You act like it. So this is like a scary, not a thriller. What is it? No?
Speaker 1:So this is like a scary, not a scary, not a thriller. What is it Weird?
Speaker 2:Weird Suspenseful Maybe.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Oh, the guy got jerked down in the basement yesterday, didn't he?
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks for giving that away to people that haven't seen it. Well, they don't know, they don't. All right. So if you want to watch Teacup, that's on pop, don't listen because we're going to talk about the first three episodes and it did say Early, I thought we was getting off. We were, but not now. It only take two minutes. Anyway, it's just this family. They live on this farm or whatever. Something kind of weird happens. I don't really remember what Something happens to the little boy.
Speaker 1:They catch that fly in the cup, the bug or something remember and then that don't mean anything, though.
Speaker 2:They let it out anyway, the boy I think that means something I don't know anyway.
Speaker 2:So their young son like wanders off into the woods looking for a goat, their pet goat. That wandered off and something happens to him and he comes back. He's almost like somebody. He keeps saying there's a man inside of him in his head or something like that. Anyway, next thing, you know, there's a guy in a car that comes down their long driveway and like parks, and he gets out and he's got a gas mask on and a spray and a gun and a spray canister and he paints a line down all the way down the driveway it's not straight.
Speaker 1:It's not a straight line well, oh my goodness. So it's weird now when people come up well, it's a lot.
Speaker 2:If you bent over and started walking and you're spraying the ground, it's not going to be straight.
Speaker 1:You might be trying, I mean he went way over here on that one part and then come back, whatever, whatever I think it's got something to do with it.
Speaker 2:Okay. So anyway, he's boxed them in apparently this line that he had spray painted.
Speaker 1:Well, he said he wasn't there to hurt them, he was there to help them.
Speaker 2:He holds up a sign.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something.
Speaker 2:He ain't talking, he holds up a sign that tells them don't cross the line, or whatever like that. Well, we find out a little while later. If you cross the line, you basically like You're in trouble. You like, burn up and melt.
Speaker 1:Disintegrate. Don't say nothing else. That's all they need to know.
Speaker 2:It's very weird, not real great. Why are we watching it? But we're trying to. You know how those movies are that you, or series that you. It takes two, three, the fourth episode and then finally it starts getting good yeah that's what I'm hoping for.
Speaker 2:I think I can go one more episode and if it don't, really I don't like the fact that the guy went. You know they're looking for like survivors. They went to like their neighbor's farm and they found out everybody that lives there's dead, like laying around. You know, somebody has shot all of them. Yet he goes in the house and the basement door is open and he keeps going hello, hello, hello, and he starts walking towards the basement. Why are you even doing that? And then he gets dragged down there by something that comes out of the shadows Just stupid stuff like that. I'm like use your common sense. I know it's a movie, but I'm thinking, if you're going to make a movie, make it a little bit more common sense stuff right, yeah.
Speaker 2:Just like if I had a guy with a gas mask that showed up and was drawing the line that night, I'm going to shoot you. Well, no, that night. Get off my property, all the kids aren't sleeping in beds separate from the parents and they're just acting like nothing's going on. Well, good night, honey. See you in the morning, that kind of thing. No, we're all ganged up together in one room and I got all my arsenal of weapons and we're hunkered down.
Speaker 1:Hunkered down. Yeah Woo, that one was sour.
Speaker 2:Sour.
Speaker 1:That was yeller.
Speaker 2:All right. So that's my two cents worth for teacup on All right.
Speaker 1:We gotta go.
Speaker 2:It's time to go eat and watch the middle. Hope you enjoyed this episode. Sorry, once again we weren't here last week. We'll try harder. I guess I'm just going to apologize every week, Every Monday from now on.
Speaker 1:Don't say that, except for this one.
Speaker 2:Because this one might come out here on a Friday, here in a few minutes.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Why you don't want this one to come out Monday.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:You don't want to record again.
Speaker 1:I don't know. That's why I said no.

Speaker 1:We'll catch you on the flip side.
