Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

Well, and you're over there, acting like you're all, mr Professional, with your nice clothes on.

Speaker 1:

Look, once again we're recording right after church on Sunday.

Speaker 2:

You've had plenty of time to change. I don't want to hear it.

Speaker 1:

I had to run and do something, came back You've changed clothes, you've cooked, you ate. I never change clothes.

Speaker 2:

And you're harping on me to change clothes and I'm fine.

Speaker 1:

But I'm fine.

Speaker 2:

I'll change later, all right, okay, enough said, I got something for you. I want you to taste my drink. Tell me what you think about it.

Speaker 1:

I don't drink alcohol anymore, sorry.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's good, because it's not alcohol. So here you go. It's not water. So here you go, it's not water, so it's not one of my water concoctions.

Speaker 1:

I mean, what is it?

Speaker 2:

It's a new drink.

Speaker 1:

Something you made up.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

Flat.

Speaker 2:

What is?

Speaker 1:

it. It tastes flat.

Speaker 2:

It's not flat, it's new.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I can't tell I've got something going on with my taste and my smell. Try it one more time.

Speaker 2:

And apparently my breathing also.

Speaker 1:

You're not getting enough. I'm getting blingy. I have no idea.

Speaker 2:

Black Cherry Dr. Pepper.

Speaker 1:

Black Cherry. What's the difference between?

Speaker 2:

Black Maybe it's not Black Cherry Now I can't remember what it is. Black Cranberry no, it's the difference between Black. Maybe it's not black cherry Now I can't remember what it is. Black cranberry no, it's the new Dr Pepper, hmm.

Speaker 1:

So cherry Dr Pepper wasn't enough. Now we got to go with black cherry Dr Pepper.

Speaker 2:

I like cherry Dr Pepper. This is not my favorite. Yeah, I'll drink it, but it tastes bland to me.

Speaker 1:

But, like I said, I've got I don't know ever since we had COVID in 2020, my sense of smell comes and goes with. You know, it would last a few weeks of I'd smell smoke, then I'd go back to normal, and then there's a time that it just smelled I smelled rotten meat in a way and it'd go away. And then smoke and it'd go away, and then just a crazy smell for a little while, then it'd go away, and then smoke and it'd go away, and then just a crazy smell for a little while, then it'd go away, and then it's been at least six months, eight months, since I've had anything, and now I've got this weird it's like a perfume type smell. I don't really know how to explain it, but it will not go away and that's all I smell, no matter what I do, where I'm at. That's what I smell and my taste. My taste't as bad, but it's affecting my taste a little bit.

Speaker 2:

My taste has never been the same since we had it back years ago.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but I kind of thought it was over with. I thought maybe finally the sense of smell thing, the sinus thing, is over with. But now that this has happened, I actually even took a COVID test Friday just to see if maybe it was one of the you know effects.

Speaker 2:

Were you going to quarantine if you had COVID?

Speaker 1:

No, I just wasn't going to tell anybody. I mean, I'm not lying, that's what I was going to do. I just was not going to get around people except you.

Speaker 2:

And I'm around everybody.

Speaker 1:

Well, I don't think COVID's a thing anymore.

Speaker 2:

You don't.

Speaker 1:

I think it's made everybody.

Speaker 2:

Well, I don't think COVID's a thing anymore. You don't.

Speaker 1:

I think it's made up. Well, just kidding.

Speaker 2:

We think those darn. Covid shots gave my daddy's cancer back, so you know.

Speaker 1:

Gotta watch what you say about COVID on YouTube, because they'll cancer you. Oh, they'll block this video.

Speaker 2:

Hmm.

Speaker 1:

Block this account Anyway.

Speaker 2:

Excuse me, what was you going to say about your?

Speaker 1:

dad's cancer. It's back. We hadn't talked about that. Not that we necessarily need to, but did you want to say what the doctor said about?

Speaker 2:

Said it was lung cancer.

Speaker 1:

Well, I know, but the time of COVID.

Speaker 2:

So it has a mass on his lung, but it's not lung cancer, it's colon cancer, which he had years ago. He's been cancer free for since 2018 and it's back and they say that it um, it's not proven, but several cases have been. I don't know how to say it. Like, how do I say it that the shot, the covid shot, is making cancers that didn't come back. Come back. How about that?

Speaker 1:

it's basically saying that they're seeing cancers that people have had previously, because colon cancer usually doesn't come back because he's had it all took out. Yeah. I mean, and it's not well, we don't know if it's in lymph nodes yet, but so but he said that they're finding out that the COVID shot possibly is causing reoccurring cases of cancers to come back.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And so that's kind of what he's saying about this. This is what he believes is why he has cancer.

Speaker 2:

Because he has a mask on his lung and everybody's like he's got lung cancer. I'm like no, it's colon cancer.

Speaker 1:

Well, the thing was we won't rehash the whole thing, but when he went to the emergency room or went to the For a different problem. Yes, went to urgent care. They couldn't help him. They sent him to the ER because of this issue. And when they did the x-rays and all that, what else did they? Do Not just x-ray. Cat scan, cat scan they saw this on his lung, and so, before we could ever get to the emergency room, the doctor sat down with him.

Speaker 2:

He's by himself. He's by himself, by himself.

Speaker 1:

Told him that you've got a large mass in your lung and it's lung cancer.

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

And so you can imagine him by himself what he's thinking and where he went to.

Speaker 2:

But see, I think people are hearing in your lung. I don't think it's in the lung, it's on the lung, it's on the bronchial thoracic, something, something. Because I understand that, but I'm just.

Speaker 1:

I'm talking about the doctor.

Speaker 2:

When it first the bedside manner, he said lung cancer.

Speaker 1:

Him going, instead of him saying, look we found a spot, or we found a mass. I'm not really sure and I'm not, you know, inclined to say exactly what it is, if it's cancer or not, but we're going to send you on to another hospital to get you checked out, but he was sent to that hospital for the other problem he'd come in at, not really for the spot, but they could do them both at the same.

Speaker 1:

While he was in there they found the spot because of the other issue he was having. That's the bottom line. They sent him to the other hospital for the issues he's having, but while he's there they're going to get a specialist whatever to do that. But pulmonologist yeah, just saying the uh er doctor was in the wrong, in my opinion, on how he addressed the situation and he was completely wrong because it was not lung cancer.

Speaker 2:

It is not lung cancer and he's telling him it's lung cancer but it looked like it, like even the pulmonologist was like it's look that he's like it could be this, this or this, and then they come back and those tests are negative and it was actually the colon numbers that were yeah. So he just kept saying it's a weird case, so it's just weird, it really is weird.

Speaker 1:

If I'm an ER doctor, I have to be knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. I got to know a little bit about a lot, correct?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But if I am a specialist, I specialize in one type of whatever, then I'm not going to venture off into another ailment because I don't specialize in this. So my point being is, if I'm an ER doctor and I see this, I am never going to go out on a limb and say, hey, 100% cancer, that's what it is, this is where we're going to send you. You just kind of beat around the bush and say, hey, we're sending you, I'm going to send you to the next. That's what I would do.

Speaker 2:

If somebody's by their self, that's what I would do. If somebody's by their self.

Speaker 1:

That's another thing. If you had a family, talk to the family outside, maybe before you go in there, or at least one of the members of the family. I guess, but I'd still say look, I'm not sure this is what it looks like, but I'm not going to tell you I'm 100% sure. But when we send him to this next hospital they'll figure it out.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. Hands clean Done, yeah, and not that I'm an ER doctor trying to throw it off on another doctor, but I'm just. I would never feel comfortable telling somebody that they had cancer when I'm kind of thinking they do, kind of thinking they don't.

Speaker 2:

So that's been crazy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and Winston finally got a haircut. So if you're watching on YouTube you will see he's a different dog. He probably lost six pounds of hair.

Speaker 2:

Probably.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and he's just a. He's a different dog.

Speaker 2:

Why are you playing with him?

Speaker 1:

Well, because he wants to play.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's because you won't leave him alone. Look, we're either going to do a podcast or you're going to play with your dog.

Speaker 1:

I can do both.

Speaker 2:

You can, I can multitask, all right let's talk about yesterday.

Speaker 1:

Yesterday was Saturday. You told me Friday something that you wanted to do. What did you tell me you wanted to do? You saw an event or a store or something in another state and you said hey, let's check this out.

Speaker 2:

Road tripping.

Speaker 1:

Road tripping. You wanted to road trip. Where did we go?

Speaker 2:

What did you say? And when I say road tripping, we can only go a couple hours away because Jody won't go anymore.

Speaker 1:

That's it. You got to think about it. What time it gets dark On the way there, you got to start calculating how much time you can spend there, and you got to be there when the store opens or Jody won't go. Yes, that's exactly right. Ain't that weird? Is that not strange? I am not by myself. There's no way. I'm on an island by myself when it comes to this.

Speaker 2:

There's other guys, I guarantee you that.

Speaker 1:

Let me throw a percentage out there. I'm going to say 90% to 95% of the men out there, when they get my age, do this. They're like you start thinking I want to be home before dark, or I want to get home at a certain time, and the whole time you're leaving, you're constantly looking at your watch, thinking, all right, if we leave at 2, we can be back home by 4.30, or you know that kind of thing. I really do think that. I don't think so.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't think so Because you get older also, you start thinking I don't really care to drive in the dark, especially if it's going to rain or anything like that. I don't want to drive in the rain. You know. You just start doing all this stuff. I just want to be at home, bottom line, right, simple life.

Speaker 2:

I'm tired of being at home.

Speaker 1:

Look, I live a simple life, I think until I got into this podcasting thing, and then my simple life has gone a little crazy, but yeah, so, anyway. So you wanted to go to Tupelo, mississippi, to the Rusted Bucket, and Relics. Relics and Relics. If you've ever been to the, what?

Speaker 2:

was the show we watched Pickers, american Pickers.

Speaker 1:

American Pickers that I don't even know if it, I think it's just reruns now, maybe not, I don't know. We haven't watched it in a long time. Used to watch it all the time. So we went to their place in Nashville several years back and I was thinking it was in this old, looked like a rundown type factory that they've converted into some nice shops and all that. So when we were thinking the whole time we get there, it's going to be this big old, you know building with all kinds of stuff. And it's not. It was just a shop for the most part You're talking about Pickers.

Speaker 2:

Talking about Pickers in Nashville, not what we went to yesterday, not what we did yesterday.

Speaker 1:

I'm just trying to combine them or compare them rather.

Speaker 2:

It was so small.

Speaker 1:

It was small and very expensive. I mean, all we bought was like a magnet for the refrigerator that said American Pickers on it, because everything else was like. But it wasn't like a selection of nothing either. It was like I do remember a big old pair of overalls yes, hanging out when you first pair of overall yeah, other than that I mean I don't we should go check that store out yeah is it still there?

Speaker 2:

do they still have that one?

Speaker 1:

I'm sure they do. They got that and like one in idaho something like that. Um, so the one we went to yesterday, relics in Tupelo, had a car show. When we first got there there was such a police presence that I was like I don't really know what's going on. So we found out later that there was a car show going on, but when we got to Relics it's like an old, you think of a factory that's beside railroad tracks. The reason I mention railroad tracks is because trains constantly came through and they are right on you. They're like 10 feet from the building when they go by. But it's like an old factory. It's three stories but you actually can shop two stories of it. The third story, I guess, is just fake it.

Speaker 1:

I guess, so you actually can shop two stories of it. The third story, I guess, is just vacant. I guess so, but it's like a it's booths on the inside that people rent out and they put their stuff.

Speaker 2:

And, like you said, there was none available.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there was not a single empty spot in that whole place. Now where we live at, there's a few places similar to this, but you go in there and one in particular. It's like every fifth or sixth booth is empty we need to go back, yeah, I need to check it out.

Speaker 1:

Check that one out. Oh, it's been a month or so since we've been there, so maybe they've improved, I don't know. But uh, but yeah, this place was, but the pricing. There was nothing. I mean, if there was something I really liked, I probably wouldn't have bought it, simple fact because it was overpriced, don't you think?

Speaker 1:

well, it's antique well and vintage vintage, a lot of vintage, saw a bunch of ashtrays a bunch of, or at least you pointed out, every ashtray that you saw, whether it was a single little glass one, or if it was on the stand.

Speaker 2:

Was that the other store?

Speaker 1:

I don't, it don't matter. Both of them we saw a bunch of ashtrays.

Speaker 2:

But why are ashtrays vintage now?

Speaker 1:

It's a thing of the past. You don't get ashtrays in cars anymore. It's a thing of the past. You don't need them. So it's vintage, so if I get a car with an ashtray in it.

Speaker 2:

It's vintage. Your car is vintage.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you can get an antique tag for that car. When's the last?

Speaker 2:

year they made ashtrays in cars.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's funny you said that because on our other podcast we looked that up.

Speaker 2:

Never mind, never mind.

Speaker 1:

Three wheels, no direction. By the way, if you're looking for another podcast, you never mention ours on that podcast. The last episode we did. We actually did talk about this podcast. Thank you very much. So they're both intertwined. It's me and two other guys that do it and, of course, this one is me and my lovely wife Amanda, so there.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, back to our story.

Speaker 1:

I'm kicking y'all out. We talked about it and I don't remember the year early 2000s I think, because it was. We were interested to find that out because I can remember when I first started a job at a grocery store in the 90s all the way up until 98 I guess it was. I can remember every other grocery aisle. We had a ashtray at the end of it because we had to usedhtray at the end of it because we had to put kitty litter, you know, on the top of it. And I remember a lady that worked in the meat department. She put out lunch meat. She would be in the cooler getting the lunch meat put on her cart and she'd have a big old Virginia Slim in her mouth lit up, smoking it up like there's no tomorrow.

Speaker 2:

Or when you had to go to restaurants and you weren't smoking or not.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

Which it all smelled like smoke. I mean, there was no difference.

Speaker 1:

Well, they'd just block you off with half a wall is all that was. There was no ventilation system put in that specializes in keeping you safe from the smoke.

Speaker 2:

I don't miss that.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm a smoker and never been a smoker, but it's hard to believe that.

Speaker 2:

But we saw lots of ashtrays yesterday.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

It was crazy Expensive like $40. The tall ashtray.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Or like not tall, but you know, like.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, on a stand. On a stand yeah, and some of them were like I don't know, it was just, it was odd, that and a bunch of Elvis stuff which you can Well, we were in Tupelo we are. But my goodness, I mean, can't you finally get Elvis-ed out after a while? Can't you have too much Elvis?

Speaker 2:

No, can't you have too much, winston.

Speaker 1:

If you have a hometown. I'm just trying to make him go to sleep. If you had a famous person in your hometown, every other shop doesn't need to sell product with T-shirts and bumper stickers with that famous person's face or name on it, does it?

Speaker 2:

Sure no when it's Elvis.

Speaker 1:

Who buys Elvis stuff nowadays? Anybody.

Speaker 2:

So when we were in there there's a younger girl in there and one of those booths she about went crazy in when we was upstairs in one of the upstairs booths, because then she saw me over there and she's like, oh, her and her mama were in there, and then she settled down a little bit. You had walked. I don't know you have walked away just a little bit went crazy about what? Oh, about elvis. It was some elvis, something she found in there, so and that was a younger girl, younger than us.

Speaker 1:

I know it used to be. You know, tourists like Japan, they would come over to Graceland. This is a big deal Going to places like that.

Speaker 2:

But now I mean Elvis is so old now.

Speaker 1:

And you brought up a very good question and I'd like to know if anybody else out there would think about this Would Elvis be big if he was still alive? Oh yeah, that's what I'd like to know if anybody else out there would think about this Would Elvis be big if he was still alive?

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, that's what I'd.

Speaker 1:

Would he be what he is now? It's almost like he's infamous in a way because he's been dead and gone for so long. But if he continued to have albums, if he didn't have successful albums, would he just dwindled into the past and he about kicked me? And or would he just be one of those that just kept on and kept on and kept on?

Speaker 2:

what he had changed with the times I think you have to.

Speaker 1:

He'd have had to a lot of bands. Look at the bands let's go into, like rock bands or heavy metal bands, the metallicas, all that kind of stuff. If you look at metallica, nowadays I like watching videos of metallica, metallic this is how it's all changed. It's like back in the day they had to, you know they were doing a concert and then they they drove all night and then two days later they another concert and then they got another one back-to-back after that and all this and they're touring 250 days out of the year and stuff. Well, now, with them all the band members, they've basically got a calendar and they mark off what days they've got basically something going on, whether it's family events and all that stuff. Definitely no concerts, we're not doing anything. And they do like a three-day back-to-back-to-back concert, say like somewhere in europe sell out this huge soccer arena or whatever, and they have three nights consecutive of their concert and just making no telling how much money.

Speaker 2:

Insane.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but anyway, but back to it. No long hair. And it's not that they've changed their style, but they've changed with the times that you know. No more long hair. But you've also got bands, like I can remember the country group Lone Star. She quit pointing at me. You know my hands. I tell you what, you just need to tie them down.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to next.

Speaker 1:

Do you remember Lone Star, the country band.

Speaker 2:

A little.

Speaker 1:

Okay, when they first came out they had the 10-gallon hats, you know cowboy hats, all that stuff. They were a hee-haw country band and then by the time it was close to when they were Maybe I don't remember them and by the time it was almost over with them. They were clean cut and stuff like that. So everybody changes. You can call them a sellout, call them whatever you want to, but I think if you're in a certain you see some of these artists that their music is. They're not going to change. They're going to write and sing music that they like and they want to do and they don't care about nothing else.

Speaker 1:

And then you got the other bands that maybe the record label is behind or the manager is behind them, changing their act or the way they're dressed, their style of music, everything just to be like the genre, because that's the way society is going to or it's more popular. If we go this way, you'll say like shania twain I almost said train shania twain and all and all them they really swapped up and went pop some. They had some songs that were out, taylor swift she started off this country, remember that. Look where she's at now. You think she's country now. Hmm, Hmm.

Speaker 1:

I feel like I've taken over. Go ahead, you keep talking.

Speaker 2:

You're good no-transcript.

Speaker 1:

We got to talk about our Tupelo. We're not done with the Tupelo trip.

Speaker 2:

What we're talking about.

Speaker 1:

Elvis and you got off on everybody else I know and let me go off, you got off on a tangent on everybody else.

Speaker 2:

Let me talk loud so you don't hear him cough, since he gets on to me for coffee.

Speaker 1:

I can't hit that mute button. I can't talk for some reason. I didn't before. Because you need a swig of black cherry yes, that's right black raspberry black raspberry, that's what it is, that's what it is.

Speaker 1:

Black raspberry so the last episode we did I was talking about Hootie and the Blowfish and I was wondering. 1996, september 2nd, I looked this up is when they were at the BJCC in Birmingham. The concert I went to I didn't know the exact date, I didn't know who opened for them all that stuff we had a discussion about. The last time I looked I could not figure out. This shows how long ago it was, though I could not get directed in the right path to find out who it was that opened for me. So right before we sat down for this, I looked it up and bam, it just knocked it out. There I found out the set list, everything they sang and all that, but it was Collective Soul that opened for them Do you know Collective Soul.

Speaker 2:

They ain't been around anymore.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I don't think so, but I do not remember Collective Soul.

Speaker 2:

I know the name. What'd they sing Good?

Speaker 1:

question I looked at name. What'd they sing? Good question I looked at the songs and I knew them when I looked it up. Now I can't think I would sing it for you, you're so prepared. Yeah, just like you.

Speaker 2:

I just come as I am, so now.

Speaker 1:

I can say I've seen Collective Soul in concert, but I just don't remember it.

Speaker 2:

Half the people that are listening don't know who that is. Oh yeah they do.

Speaker 1:

We've got a bunch of old farts that listen to this.

Speaker 2:

Now they're really not listening, because you just called them old farts.

Speaker 1:

Well they're way to go. They're older Way to go, older like we are.

Speaker 2:

What else is going?

Speaker 1:

on, just off topic.

Speaker 2:

So we didn't hit a Buc-ee's.

Speaker 1:

There's not a Bucky's going to Tupelo. No, but you know we didn't talk about it. It came a flood while we were inside that one store.

Speaker 2:

But Jody talked to me and I wanted something neat. Let's go to Love's, really Love's.

Speaker 1:

Truck Stop. No, you can't look at it that way. That sounds terrible when you throw truck stop at the end of it, because it is no let's, let's call it a travel center it's a truck stop no, love's travel center truck stop, not a truck stop. It's a truck stop, no yes you love it. You looked around. I saw you browsing through all the food that they had in there all the hot foods, ready to eat foods, then the salads I saw in there.

Speaker 2:

I turned around for a second, I turned back and you got cookie dough in your hand I was trying to make it like bucky's.

Speaker 1:

I know, I know well. The only difference was we spent, I think, 13 dollars instead of 35 instead. Of 35 dollars when you go to bucky's because I would have got some food at bucky's but I will say, though bucky's even loves, but bucky's has got it figured out on how to get you in and get you out. Yeah, you know, there's 5 000 people in there. Same thing with the bathroom you got 200 people waiting to use the bathroom. Next thing you know you're in and out. It's like how did that happen?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, but they're in there directing you, yeah they got directors in there with the flashlights.

Speaker 1:

I know, like the airplanes, you know yeah, but it's a good thing to do, because y'all women, when y'all are in line, that's out the door y'all. Just when y'all start talking and not paying attention, like the line is moving, y'all go. You know, and that's why they have that person in there with the you think with the sticks and the?

Speaker 1:

lights going like this. Yeah, I was thinking yesterday a rabbit's foot, a lucky rabbit's foot, do they make those anymore? Can you go? Because I'm thinking if you go to a Love's, you go to a big pilot, you go to Bucky's. Isn't that like a novelty item that you would think you would see a rabbit's foot, or is that a thing of the past?

Speaker 2:

Thing of the past.

Speaker 1:

Because it seems like it's just not the thing to do. It's not a very kind gesture.

Speaker 2:

Thing of the past.

Speaker 1:

Is it yeah? Are you just saying that, yeah, did you ever have a?

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

Really.

Speaker 2:

I could never get one of those.

Speaker 1:

Too pricey.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm sure. So why don't we? Did we just find rabbits and cut their feet off and then let them loose Is?

Speaker 2:

that what we did.

Speaker 1:

How rude is that? I know. Not lucky for you, Mr Rabbit.

Speaker 2:

Exactly. Why is it? Why is it called a lucky rabbit?

Speaker 1:

I don't know I don't have my phone, so if you want to look it up, you can tell us.

Speaker 2:

I need you to just know.

Speaker 1:

No, why can't it be something you find in the woods and be like oh my goodness, I can't believe I found that. No, you, literally you've got to have, you've got to cut this off of an animal, A rabbit. It's fake.

Speaker 2:

They ain't cutting it off of a rabbit, they're making it.

Speaker 1:

It's a real rabbit's foot. It's not lucky unless it's real. Okay, hmm, Keep telling yourself that one yeah, you're going to have PETA on us now because you're cutting off rabbit's foot. I don't care about PETA.

Speaker 2:

I could, I just don't care. Wow, there went our viewership.

Speaker 1:

What PETA?

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

Who cares? Wow, peta, mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

Who cares Wow?

Speaker 1:

Do you really think we've got people that are members of PETA that actually listen and watch this?

Speaker 2:

They're going to protest our show now.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm good, Bring it on. Are they even an organization anymore? They have to dig even deeper into going to crazy and crazier ideas on saving animals or insects or plants or whatever they do. Okay, what else you got?

Speaker 2:

I thought you had something you want to talk about? Do I ever have anything I want to talk about?

Speaker 1:

I bought a box of tamales from Walmart because I got talked into it A box. I bought three boxes of tamales at Walmart. They were on clearance. They're regular $10. They're marked down twice, so now they're down to $4. It was $6 and now $4.

Speaker 2:

The reason I know this is because I got.

Speaker 1:

Really Am I. I am fidgeting.

Speaker 2:

I need to fidget. You are so your feet, like your feet, just can't stay still. You're nothing, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I need a fidget spinner.

Speaker 2:

You're really fidgety today.

Speaker 1:

So what if I just don't look at you? I look straight ahead at the wall right here and I just talk. At the what At the wall? The war right here. Wall right here, wall right here. Look, I get enough. The other podcast I get made up, but no see, you can't even I can't even talk. Yeah, the way I talk.

Speaker 2:

So all right, talk about your tamales, but keep your feet still this is.

Speaker 1:

This is hard. I can't even concentrate if I can't move I just need you to keep your feet.

Speaker 2:

Still, you can talk with your hands. Just leave your feet.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm going to try and do it.

Speaker 2:

Leave your feet still. You can't. You're thinking about it.

Speaker 1:

There's going to be a point to where, when it finally gets off my mind that I'm trying to stay still, you'll start seeing me move and I'll just start back.

Speaker 2:

Oh, like right now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I'll just start back, oh like right now. But yeah see. So I'm looking at this wall. Okay, I'm not looking at you or nothing. So a guy that I know he told me, he said you've got to check out these tamales.

Speaker 2:

Why didn't you bring one in here to try? You ain't even tried them.

Speaker 1:

I did try one.

Speaker 2:

You tried one that he opened.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I'm just gauging it off of that, but we'll get to that. So he talked me into. Uh, well, he didn't talk me into, he just told me how good they were. He came out of the store, had four boxes of them and I'm like what do you?

Speaker 1:

got there and he said he's taught tamale's man. He said you know how we are, we're just, you know, we're on the go and looking for something quick to eat. And he said these are really good. He said I was shocked and just talked it up. I was like hmm, and then I was like where? They are one and where they at and he told me next to frozen food.

Speaker 1:

You know the boxes in cap out there and he's told me. He said they're 10, regular 10. They marked them down last week to six. I bought two boxes of them then and that's when I found out they're good and so now they're $4. They said so. I bought four more boxes.

Speaker 2:

Well, he can have your other ones.

Speaker 1:

I said, well, I got to go back in and pick up a couple things anyway. So I went in there and I looked around and I found the end cap and there's a ton of them. And so I thought thought, well, you know, I hate for it to be a good deal and it'd be a good item and me just pass it up. So I thought, well, I'm not gonna give which one box, I'll get three boxes. I mean, what's that? That's nothing.

Speaker 1:

12 bucks, it's all right for something 12 bucks in my mind that's a pack of toilet paper in my mind is something that I'm gonna eat, eat, so it's worth it.

Speaker 2:

Okay, but you could have tried it one day. Because, why? Because you're in Walmart every day, so you could have got one box to try.

Speaker 1:

But this is limited to this one store. I haven't seen it at any other store. So this one store is an hour from where we live at, so I'm not in that store every day.

Speaker 2:

Well.

Speaker 1:

So I couldn't wait till next week and when I'm in there, and then they're all gone back.

Speaker 2:

Let us know. If they're still there this week, I will. I will. Yeah, when we record again, you'll be going there again.

Speaker 1:

So I'm thinking too, like well, nicholas, he's all the time, you know, something's got some protein in it. He's eating all the time. I thought maybe this is, if he likes him, he can throw this in his truck and it'll be just something easy for him to eat, always looking for something different, something good. And so yesterday I was outside feeding the fish. He hollered at me. He was at the, you know. He came out of the house and had tamale on a plate. He'd put it in the microwave and just I looked at it.

Speaker 2:

He's going to microwave everything.

Speaker 1:

I know, I know.

Speaker 2:

Even if it's just been sitting there for 10 minutes, he's going to microwave it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but these are you know. It says you know you can eat them just like they are right out of the package or you can microwave them. So he decided to microwave them, so had a weird looking texture. I will say that.

Speaker 2:

Because they're corn, right, they're a corn tamale.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay so.

Speaker 2:

I knew that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I guess they were.

Speaker 2:

I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, I tried it and I was not impressed I'll just put it that way Not impressed at all. And so I told him I said, at least try it. You know I ate a bite of it.

Speaker 2:

So you ate it first before he did? Yeah, you should have never done that. Yeah, you should have never done that.

Speaker 1:

Well, I don't really know if I knew that he hadn't tried it yet. He just told me to try it. You should have never done that because he would have had a different attitude. So he tried it and he spit it out right there after he said they're terrible and I'm pretty close to terrible the way it tasted.

Speaker 2:

How many times has he tried rice and said he didn't like it? Then why did he come tell us the other day I don't know, oh, I think I like rice. Onions, onions. He was talking about onions, but he did do the rice thing too.

Speaker 1:

I don't say rice.

Speaker 2:

He did do the rice thing too. He likes it now.

Speaker 1:

I can see with.

Speaker 2:

With a certain thing, a certain rice.

Speaker 1:

Rice, I mean any type of rice, to me is, I can probably see, depending on if it's like one of those long ones, even if it's cooked, I don't you know, I'm not big on that.

Speaker 2:

Okay, well, I used to not be big on stir fry either, but I'm big on that. So we have three boxes of tamales. Well, we have. Who wants them?

Speaker 1:

We have two boxes and seven pieces.

Speaker 2:

Who wants them. They're free.

Speaker 1:

Well no, my plan is Tuesday is to take the two unused boxes to that guy that talked me into them and given them to him and say you're badly mistaken, but here's a gift, take mine off my hand, give me $8, because my wife said I had to go buy toilet paper. I do need to try. I need to open up another one and see there's three different flavors.

Speaker 2:

Don't put it in the microwave.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm not going to maybe the microwave and it might have.

Speaker 2:

So I mean because he don't microwave them. If he's going down the road, he's just that's right.

Speaker 1:

But he's opening them up but it says if you can microwave them, then so I don't know. I'm gonna try another one. I'll definitely try it again before I just throw them away or anything. But I was not impressed with that one hmm, what about you?

Speaker 2:

I mean, you was talking them up too. This guy said they were. I thought look, if I'm gonna be able to have food now stop. I make you food sometimes to take for lunch, so it's not like you don't always have food okay, the other four days out of the week just because you don't take it, that's on you.

Speaker 1:

You asked me. You say like do you want this to take with you tomorrow, or do you want to eat it when you get back?

Speaker 2:

Sometimes I say, I'll eat it On Fridays. You eat it when you get back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Because that makes sense.

Speaker 1:

So what's wrong with that?

Speaker 2:

All right then, but the other days, if I have, something Half the time you don't take it, you forget it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I have to have a note.

Speaker 2:

I have to write him a note.

Speaker 1:

If you don't leave me a note next to my keys or whatever with my pile of stuff, I will never remember it's so early and I'm trying to just get stuff and get out the door. I would never Even if you leave me a note, sometimes I still don't remember Get sidetracked. I need to ask you, too, about my alarm on my phone. Did you hear my alarm go off this morning?

Speaker 2:

This morning no.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so Friday, remember Friday I did not hear it go and luckily I woke up right after it should have gone off. Same thing this morning I never heard it, cause I don't think it went off and I just happened to wake up a few minutes.

Speaker 2:

I heard mine and you were still laying in the bed. I was already awake. Yes, you were still laying in the bed and mine goes off probably 10 minutes after you get up, because I try to start waking up, because I know I got to get up when you get out of the shower. Yeah, so mine probably goes off about 10 minutes after.

Speaker 1:

So my point being is I need to test my alarm here shortly, just like set it two minutes from like now let it go off, see if it's going to go out, or see if I've got some kind of something silenced, because that would have been two times in a row that it didn't go off.

Speaker 2:

So did it go off saturday? You said it didn't go.

Speaker 1:

I had it set saturday, but I got up way before it went off, so I don't know about Saturday.

Speaker 2:

So when I go to work, my alarm clock is set an hour before I have to get up, and I still don't get up. I think I've gotten used to hitting it now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's the thing. If you ever get used to hitting the snooze that's not good.

Speaker 2:

I can't get up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm always like that. I still say the worst feeling in the world is when you first wake up. It's a terrible feeling, is it not? I feel horrible, that's my point. But if you get up and stir around for just a minute, that feeling is gone. But it's that initial waking up, is it?

Speaker 2:

not no, you're still feeling it right now. I'm still feeling it.

Speaker 1:

That is funny. So anyway, if the buddy of mine good thing he wasn't selling stock or anything like that because he'd had me sold- on.

Speaker 2:

some kind of Jody was sold on it.

Speaker 1:

I was sold on it, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean he was trying to sell me on it and I'm just like, yeah, I don't think so, because if it's what I'm picturing and imagining, I'm like the corn tortilla, well, even on the box it said made in mexico and I thought well, you know what?

Speaker 1:

this is legit, because who better knows how to make tamales?

Speaker 2:

that's the problem you don't like nothing, but one thing from Mexican food and it ain't even real Mexican food. So these are probably real and you don't like it because they're real.

Speaker 1:

They're made in Mexico? Maybe so, but you always get on to me for getting the same stuff wherever we go. Now you're going to mention the Mexican place that I get the same thing, but you know why? Because I love what I get from the Mexican place.

Speaker 2:

And you might love something else.

Speaker 1:

I'm not willing to change and find out that I don't.

Speaker 2:

You would love steak fajitas.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to get something and get it home, and neither it be A. It was not enough, so I'm still hungry.

Speaker 2:

Did you hear what you just said or? B get it and get it home. Because, he won't go out to eat anymore for some reason.

Speaker 1:

Nobody ever asks anymore. You just automatically order it and go pick it up. So I went out to eat three weeks ago at an Applebee's Went to Applebee's.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Yes, so thank you.

Speaker 2:

Only because we were out and about. If we'd have been at home, you'd have been like no, just order it and bring it home that's right anyway I had to figure out the grocery thing this week, though, because I ain't buying groceries, because I usually do it saturday, I do it tomorrow you know I want.

Speaker 1:

One thing I want to talk about is you know, the pope recently died. You did know that right, I know you don't keep up with the news, but you didn't know you're the one that didn't keep up with.

Speaker 2:

Trump was an hour away from us. Friday, thursday thursday and you didn't even know that I had no idea that you had no idea he was in tuscaloosa and I had no idea he was an hour and a half away from us and you had no clue I'd have gone. Just to see the motorcade.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'd have gone for the motorcade. We went to a rally which you didn't go. Why did you not go? Because you wasn't involved. You didn't want no part of.

Speaker 2:

I didn't care nothing about it Didn't care nothing about it.

Speaker 1:

So whatever year 2015, maybe something like that he was he came to Birmingham at a rally same place where Hootie and the Blowfish was. So me and my mom, I took my mom and I took Nicholas and we went to this rally and it was like the place was rad. This was, you know, when he was running for president the first time and the line was all around the building, you know. And so when we got close you saw they had metal detectors. It was the tsa, it was the fbi, it was secret service, it was. It was so, so much protection there. It was unbelievable, but anyway, so when it was, when we were in there and we probably got 10 to 15 feet from him, he went around and was like signing autographs and they and all that.

Speaker 1:

So when we left I wanted to see where they were going to leave from. I was going to try and figure out where they were going to come out from. And I'd figured it out and was waiting on the corner. I told my mom, told Nicholas, I was like he's going to come out from way down there, couldn't go around that corner. So I was like we're going to stand right here on the side and watch. Anyway, a cop walks up and goes hey, hey, hey, y'all back up, just in case a bomb goes off, or something Like that. I'm like what a thing to say. Who says that cop? Well, you don't say that. He could have said for your protection need y'all to back up just in case something happens, or whatever I mean. But he says in case a bomb goes off, I'm like well, thank you anyways don't like when people are truthful and they just don't beat around the bush.

Speaker 2:

I don't like it. I don't like authority.

Speaker 1:

I didn't cross his stupid yellow line. You know I wasn't doing. I wasn't pushing up against his yellow line rope or anything like that. I'm just standing here with my with my camera waiting to video. Actually, I got him. If I can, if I can, pull that up, I got him on video saying that. It's funny. I'm like I just want to see trump leaving his little entourage. This is before he was in the beast and all that stuff. So he's in just a normal suv with a bunch of cop cars around him and stuff. I just want to see it.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, fast forward to thursday. I would have loved to go on and see the motorcade. I saw a video it after you told me he was there. I think you held this from me. I really do. You should have told me should. I'm think you held this from me. I really do. You should have told me Should have. I'm blaming you for this.

Speaker 2:

You're the news person. You know everything.

Speaker 1:

I don't keep up with the University of Alabama stuff, and that's the reason.

Speaker 2:

I came for graduation, so I mean, you know.

Speaker 1:

So I didn't check his itinerary. I should have, but I did watch a video. But have, but I did watch a video and I bet I am the one that has seen it before. I bet there was a hundred motorcycle cops in front of that was leading the pack. Pretty cool. Yeah, you and nicholas went to washington when he was in school and had the washington trip. You went with them. Y'all got stopped. You're at, I guess you're in traffic at a red light and y'all got stopped. And then the security stopped yeah, stopped traffic. And the motorcade came through. Yeah, it makes me so sick.

Speaker 2:

I want to go.

Speaker 1:

I want to go to Washington. So bad, I'll never go. I mean, it was never happened.

Speaker 2:

We can go.

Speaker 1:

Uh, I'd have to take time off, and I just don't take time off, but anyway. So that's your problem. Of all people to go to Washington, that doesn't care anything about it. Amanda goes to Washington and I'm like I'm the one that should be there. But throughout the whole week, what do I keep doing? I keep getting you're sending me a picture of this, sending me a picture of the Pentagon, and I'm like I mean this is great and all, but you're like driving me crazy, like because I should be there, but all this stuff was free and I didn't realize that but uh, yeah I didn't know that but I will say y'all did get me a gift while y'all were there.

Speaker 1:

Do you remember what it was? I had you a couple of things well, well, I got a Christmas tree ornament Stuff like that, but a snow, not a snow globe A paperweight. Paperweight White House. I think it's pretty cool, but do you remember the other thing?

Speaker 2:

I got you a Mount Vernon shirt and hat.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that was too small, that I never wore.

Speaker 2:

Oh what, I got it for the hat, not the shirt. You get the hat. Yeah, that was too small, that I never wore. Oh what, I got it for the hat, not the shirt.

Speaker 1:

You get the hat, you buy the hat and the shirt rolled up in it.

Speaker 2:

It's one of those days I get it. Yeah, I knew you wouldn't wear the shirt, I just liked the hat.

Speaker 1:

I couldn't wear the. I wouldn't have wore the shirt if it was my size, but apparently you know you bought a fifth grade.

Speaker 2:

Because I lost this hat.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, apparently I have the head of a fifth grader, but not the body of a fifth grader, so I couldn't wear the shirt. Y'all got me a bobblehead, trump.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, we got it off the side of the road.

Speaker 1:

Off the side of the road. You found it. Yeah, I said I don't want this thing.

Speaker 2:

Somebody threw it out.

Speaker 1:

Would. Would you buy it from a vendor?

Speaker 2:

Okay, it was $100.

Speaker 1:

If I knew that I can't tell you? Surely not.

Speaker 2:

Are you sure you got two kidneys?

Speaker 1:

20 or 30. I still do.

Speaker 2:

You sure?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, hopefully I don't owe them a kidney.

Speaker 2:

You know how you've been sleeping there lately.

Speaker 1:

I'm looking at bobblehead Trump right now on the wall. He has been many places. So when you got me at bobblehead Trump right now on the wall, he has been many places. So when you got me that bobblehead Trump, should I get it and put it. Let me get it down.

Speaker 2:

No, I didn't get that.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you did that one. That is it. Yes, that one. Over there is one we bought later on. And then we're looking at the wall. I've got a shelf that's got bobbleheads on it, but if you're watching on YouTube, I'm about to get the bobblehead down. I'm going to sit it right here, so you talk while I'm getting it.

Speaker 2:

I don't have nothing to talk about. Why don't you throw your mic away and make it tump?

Speaker 1:

over Talk about what I did with the bobblehead.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you made a page and everything for the bobblehead. Bobblehead Trump had to go everywhere with us. He had to be videoed. He went everywhere. He rode in the um in the window of the truck of red. Was it red? Yes so yeah, he had to ride, he rode everywhere, he done everything let me plug this thing back in you don't need them.

Speaker 1:

I do too, why I really do.

Speaker 2:

So I can hear no, you just want to look important.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm not looking for. I really like a goofball, because you don't have, you can't hear, anyway, all right, I'll go without him, go without but I I like to know if I'm here in the microphone.

Speaker 2:

If you're right here, you're here so with Bobblehead Trump.

Speaker 1:

What I did was I thought it was going to be fun with Nicholas is we started a thing it's called the Adventures of Bobblehead Trump, Started an Instagram page and then started a Twitter account, and so the Twitter account got to where Twitter the Twitter account, which is X now. I had 24 or 26,000 followers on there at one time, you know, but the thing was, you followed me, I followed you back. That's just the way it was, whatever. So whatever we did, whatever we saw, that was patriotic. We held bobblehead Trump up with it and took a picture, and we even went to the mountains one time and found an Elvis impersonator and the Elvis impersonator held bobblehead Trump. We took some pictures of just crazy stuff like that. So it was really fun to do that. And then, but that's my bobblehead, and now he just sits on the shelf Now he just collects dust, but I like him.

Speaker 1:

Actually, he's broke on the back.

Speaker 2:

I see that. What'd you do to him? What what's broke? Only his foot, he's broke on the back. I see that.

Speaker 1:

What'd you do to him? What? What's broke? I don't know. His foot, his heel, the back part His pants leg, something, anyway. So let me go back real quick before we get done. The Pope Pope passed away.

Speaker 2:

Went from the Pope to Trump.

Speaker 1:

Well, I was doing that, yeah, and you got on Trump somehow. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

How'd we get on that?

Speaker 1:

I don't know hey, but there is, hey. He's getting a lot of flack for he put out an AI picture of himself as the Pope.

Speaker 2:

He's got the whole garb on and everything.

Speaker 1:

It was just a fun thing.

Speaker 2:

It is, but he said that.

Speaker 1:

Who cares about the Pope? I mean really. Jody I'm not saying I don't not that he passed away or anything, but I'm just saying the Pope, what is the Pope?

Speaker 2:

The Pope. If you're Catholic, it means a lot If you're Catholic it means a lot.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's like the spokesperson for the Catholics.

Speaker 2:

To us. He don't, I'm not.

Speaker 1:

Catholic, so the Pope doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

Speaker 2:

That's all I'm saying but you don't have how was I being mean?

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying I didn't say anything about his death or anything like that being good or anything.

Speaker 2:

We've lost all our four viewers that we have.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I just wanted to tell this little story right here. Well, why don't you just tell it? You're the one who's like how dare Trump? Shame on him for having AI make an image of him as the Pope. Oh my goodness, they shouldn't do that. Really, if you looked at, I thought she was doing that. So keep on. If you, if you looked at the funeral and saw any of the footage or anything, you saw guys with these big guns, these big weird looking guns it's almost like is that a?

Speaker 2:

gun the Pope funeral yeah.

Speaker 1:

Is it a laser? Is it a ray gun? What exactly is it? But they were guns. They were drone killers. Did you ever see it? Is that?

Speaker 2:

why you were looking at drones yesterday.

Speaker 1:

No, I was looking at drones just because it's on my wish list. Maybe one day, hey, they've. The prices of drones have come down so far, but I think drones are like anything else, I like tvs yeah, what, uh, if you had to pick out a drone, which drone would you get?

Speaker 1:

I have no idea. There's so many of them. I do like the ones. Uh, you know, when we kayak, I like the idea of having it where it follows you, you know. So it videos you as you're going. So I thought that was pretty cool. But look at that. I got a picture right there of it's a black and white picture I'm showing Amanda that.

Speaker 2:

I printed out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a gun, but it's got a piece of plastic underneath it. It's very strange looking and all that. So let me just read you this right here. Do you want me to read?

Speaker 2:

to you. Not really why, because you already done it on the other podcast.

Speaker 1:

So I have not done this on another podcast, thank you, nope, I got shot down when I was going to talk about it, so I knew that was coming why I did not get shot down. This was just one of the things where I mentioned to them topics that we could talk about, and we never got to this one. So pictures of security forces carrying massive guns have drawn attention across social media.

Speaker 1:

One video uploaded to X by an Argentinian journalist was re-shared by someone asking what kind of weapon the soldiers were armed with and gained more than 5 million views, because people want to know what this is. These intense-looking weapons are counter-unmanned aerial systems, otherwise known as CUAS, also known as anti-drone guns. They have the power to disrupt signals between a drone and its operator, forcing the small unmanned aircraft system to land or crash. Did you get that Land or crash? One version of the anti-drone gun seen at the funeral was black, with a white plastic plate at the front and weighed about 7 to 8 kilograms. Do you know how much 7 or 8 kilograms is? I don't either. Just wondering. I thought you might look that up in my ass, but I know you don't do that I don't do that you don't do anything I ask you to do.

Speaker 1:

The soldier described the drone killer as a frequency jammer and was accompanied by another soldier keeping an eye out for aerial threats with binoculars. So you see a drone, you're a soldier, you're at the funeral. There it is, you jam its little connection to the person that's operating it and what happens? It crashes. So you're putting people's life in jeopardy Because you've seen some of these. Some of these drones are big, you know. So is it better to just?

Speaker 2:

I feel like if I'm going to fly a drone, I'm not going to have a big one, because I don't want you to see it If I'm flying a drone in something like that for some reason, who knows why.

Speaker 1:

But If I'm in a crowd, I don't want a small drone hitting me in the head because it fell out of the sky, because some guy with an anti-drone killing gun shot it down, would you?

Speaker 2:

You want a big one.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm just saying that thing's got little propellers and everything and if it's falling out of the sky it's going to hit you in the head. Either way, I don't want a big one or a small one to hit. I'm just mowing to you. Yeah, so, ah, that's all I wanted to talk about. Thanks for listening.

Speaker 2:

You just want to talk about your drone. I did.

Speaker 1:

I wanted to get that out there. I've been wanting to talk.

Speaker 2:

It's weird.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and they said they've had it for several years and they've never used it. So I'm thinking so they have it and we don't. It's a good question Do you really think that we wouldn't have something like that?

Speaker 2:

We just don't talk about it.

Speaker 1:

That's a very good topic, because I am afraid that we like to talk things up a lot, our government, and we actually don't have these things to back it up. You know what I'm saying. I like to think we have everything, but when I start really thinking about it I'm afraid we don't have much of nothing, you know.

Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

Something really happens. Are we going to open up these factory doors or these military bases and stuff? And then what's supposed to be in there? And there's like it's half full, it's a quarter full, it's not really full. On that note Can't do what we want to note. I got to get him out of here or we'll be here all night.

Speaker 1:

What about drones? Do we have all these? What about New Jersey? All these drones last year that were flying around? They kept seeing them at night and everybody was concerned about it and the government would never really answer what they are, where they're from. There's all kinds of conspiracies about it.

Speaker 2:

And you don't hear nothing about it. No more.

Speaker 1:

But some of the stuff that, or the government letting us see it, because it is actually stuff that they have and they're slowly integrating it into our knowledge.

Speaker 2:

I guess you'd say why do we need to know?

Speaker 1:

I think some of the stuff we need to know.

Speaker 2:

I don't think so.

Speaker 1:

It's like the stealth bomber. The stealth bomber was so sleek and such a weird design. They were putting it out there. People were seeing it and thinking it was a UFO because nobody had seen anything like it. And then later we find out oh, it's our government, so they do things like that so intentionally.

Speaker 2:

Too many people know too much.

Speaker 1:

Do they?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't know If you go back to like, did we really land on the moon? And things like that. I'm thinking how many people's involved and all these people are going to be quiet about it. You can't tell me that they faked a moon landing and nobody is coming out and say I was there, we videoed it.

Speaker 2:

Katy Perry's going to the moon next week.

Speaker 1:

Oh, Katy Perry's something. She's got a bunch of flack for that little trip. Have you seen that?

Speaker 2:

Did you really ask me that? What? No, I ain't seen it.

Speaker 1:

Well, I just thought you might you do TikTok. Surely on your feed it would come across about people. No, I know she got a lot of criticism about her dancing, something about she's not a very good dancer, apparently on her new tour they're criticizing her about that. She's getting a lot of you know, criticism right now, and she should. Her and a little Daisy up in space. All right, I guess you're ready to go, unless you got something else.

Speaker 2:

I don't guess, I do.

Speaker 1:

I feel like I've done all the talking, as usual.

Speaker 2:

It's your show, it's the Jody Show, it's not the Jody Show. It's the Jody Show.

Speaker 1:
