Speaker 1:

Welcome back Episode 43. It's Amanda. It's Ed Stan and it's me, Jody.

Speaker 2:

It's like episode 999.

Speaker 1:

It does, it does Sometimes. Sometimes this is work, sometimes it's fun.

Speaker 2:

It should always be fun.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes it's pulling teeth, sometimes trying to get subject matter, sometimes someone doesn't want to participate.

Speaker 2:

I don't like subjects Somebody doesn't want structure, you script it. And you talk about TV shows that you don't script it. That's not real.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, this is different, you've got to have a little bit of structure.

Speaker 2:

I've got structure, let's go. So I've got a new candy. You've already tried it once, but I think you need to do it again. Okay, this is the sweet tarts gummy halos. It's tart and chewy, soft and fluffy. Blue punch, strawberries and cream. I need you to try it again because I think it's really good, I'm not big on gummy stuff.

Speaker 1:

That's part of the problem is that like gummy bears and gummy worms. Did you used to like that growing up? I Like gummy bears and gummy worms. Did you used to like that growing up?

Speaker 2:

I love gummy bear and gummy worms.

Speaker 1:

I didn't care nothing about that.

Speaker 2:

You like the hard sour candy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but now all the gummies have gone to just like pure sugar, because it looks nothing like it used to with like a gummy bear.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

So this is like granulates of sugar.

Speaker 2:

It's good, I like it. Don't smack what flavor Strawberry Hold on Blue Blue punch and strawberries and cream. See, I don't I mean it's okay.

Speaker 1:

I mean you can have the bag to yourself. Good, I won't fight you for it Good, because I love it. I like the new candy, I mean you can have the bag to yourself.

Speaker 2:

Good, I won't fight you for it. Good, because I love it. I like the new candy. Why?

Speaker 1:

don't you pick something that's a little bit more unusual for me to try?

Speaker 2:

out. That's a new candy, so I picked it. Okay, new things.

Speaker 1:

We've got an orange thing in there, too that you've been wanting to do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it might be a little too old to do, is it? I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Did we get it at Christmas time?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, might need to look at the date on that sucker.

Speaker 1:

Six months old. Surely it's still good, wouldn't it be Six months? It's chocolate Probably right there at it. Probably they don't have a long shelf life, but I guess six months. Surely you should eat it within six months why have we? Not done it.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I would give it like two weeks and you should have it yet I'm not a big chocolate person, so I think that's why I hadn't well, I think what it was is we got it, got it sitting in there, and we've always talked about hey, hey, we'll do a quick video of it, and we never do Like a minute and a half video, so we never actually sat down to do that.

Speaker 2:

But I would still. I would rather have candy than chocolate.

Speaker 1:

Just because of the mess.

Speaker 2:

Or what no.

Speaker 1:

I'll take a Reese's cup over anything.

Speaker 2:

Okay, if we're doing that, then I'm taking Reese's pieces over anything. And then I go to candy. I'm just not a big chocolate Like. If I have a choice between candy, say sour candy, and a chocolate bar, I'm gonna pick the sour candy.

Speaker 1:

lemon heads definitely I could make myself sick off lemon heads because they're so good. I'll just get a mouth of them. Full of them, like expect, like when we go road tripping when we go road tripping we have to have candy, so that's why I try new candy there's a lot of times when we come back right.

Speaker 2:

It's not necessarily going no, it's, it's when I'm going to sleep and you guys stay awake, yeah, so you got to eat too, but lemons is the go-to.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, lemon heads is the go-to. That's always bad in like a sweet tart or something.

Speaker 2:

Lemon heads and Red Hots.

Speaker 1:

Red Hots is good. I don't ever think about them, but Red Hots are good. Now the what is it? Butterscotch disk.

Speaker 2:

I don't care for butterscotch.

Speaker 1:

My mom usually gets me some kind of like a stocking stuff for Christmas.

Speaker 2:

Do you mean?

Speaker 1:

caramel or butterscotch. It's butterscotch the only time I ever eat it, because that one bag it's like when I eat one I can't stop, and when just a few days they're all gone and I'll never touch them again until Christmas.

Speaker 2:

But they are so good I don't know, I don't care about butterscotch I mean it's okay.

Speaker 1:

This is nothing we were going to talk about. We're going to talk about Memorial Day. We just celebrated Memorial Day last week.

Speaker 2:

Last week. Is that right? Yes, I've got all my days mixed up.

Speaker 1:

Last week no.

Speaker 2:

Microwave.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's on the microwave.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what was I saying? Memorial Day, memorial Day Last week.

Speaker 1:

It was last week, and so Not this week.

Speaker 2:

When this comes out. When this comes out, it's going to be a week, I don't know. I'm so confused on when we were. You don't need to think about the day that you're recording.

Speaker 1:

You need to think about the day that it's released.

Speaker 2:

I know It'll be a week Monday, right.

Speaker 1:

And we're supposed to we're recording on Saturday, so Memorial Day, we're supposed to commemorate and honor our fallen soldiers, right, right. Or what I would call our heroes.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

That were killed in battle right.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

That's what it's all about, right.

Speaker 1:

This isn't Veterans Day, right? You know, when we celebrate our veterans, this isn't the Fourth of July. Forget all that. When we celebrate our independence.

Speaker 2:

Or is it anybody that was in battle?

Speaker 1:

I say, when you, in Memorial Day, I think we need to think of all the soldiers Right Cause, you see, all the flags hanging down. Right, the city and it's all soldiers. But memorial, but it's. It's fallen soldiers Memorial. You're memorializing them.

Speaker 2:

Then why don't we say it's like a funeral?

Speaker 1:

Happy Memorial Day. Well, I don't agree with that and I don't hear a lot of people, but when I do hear that I don't, I'm like what are you talking about?

Speaker 2:

somebody else brought that up too on their show about why we say happy memorial day but, when it's really not.

Speaker 1:

I don't hear a whole lot of it, but it stands out when I hear it, because I don't hear it enough, yeah but, I want to slap them and say what are you talking about? There is no happy. We can celebrate it Thinking about them, memorialize them, like I said, but why is it the start of summer? I'm not saying happy. It's not like happy birthday, you don't say happy Christmas, do you?

Speaker 2:

Why is it the symbol for the start of summer?

Speaker 1:

Or not symbol, but you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Like everybody thinks, that's the start of summer.

Speaker 1:

It's the unofficial start of summer. It's what it is why? Because it falls right there during the time when it becomes summer.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's crazy, so I didn't know that.

Speaker 1:

I've never thought about this. I just look at the calendar and I see when Memorial Day is, just like I see all holidays. I'll look every once in a while. I'll go and I'll say, hey, what's Christmas fall on this year? And I'll look Is it a Thursday, is it a Saturday, is it a Monday? Just you know, because I want to know.

Speaker 2:

I don't have to look at the calendar for Thanksgiving because I know when Thanksgiving falls it's always a Thursday, always on a Thursday.

Speaker 1:

I didn't know that Memorial Day is always the last Monday of May.

Speaker 2:

You didn't know that. I had no idea. Yes, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1:

Never thought about it, never, like I said, because I've Always. I just didn't know that.

Speaker 2:

Yep, what else you got about Memorial Day it?

Speaker 1:

used to be called Decoration Day. Yes, and then in the 18, mid-18.

Speaker 2:

They still do decoration around here 50s, 60s, 70s.

Speaker 1:

It got changed to Memorial Day. It was still unofficial at that time. Well, decoration in the South is different than Decoration Day. What we're talking about Decoration Day, I think it was just because of the civil war. I think it was called decoration day because they're, uh, um, memorializing the. I think it was union soldiers. They got killed. I don't think it was confederate soldiers, but I could be wrong.

Speaker 2:

I'm not up on all that you didn't search it that much, no I did have one fact.

Speaker 1:

I got one fact right down here. Let see, let me see if I can read it from right here you don't got your glasses on. Yeah, but it's far enough away. I've got it sitting on the floor right here. So in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May, like I said a minute ago.

Speaker 1:

I didn't think you didn't know that. No, this is not me talking. This is what they say In order to create a three-day weekend for federal employees. But Memorial Day didn't actually become an official holiday until 1971. And also, flags were to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to noon.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know that either. I did not know that Ours wasn't down, was it at church? But so this yeah, no, no. Well, I'm pretty sure no.

Speaker 1:

I wouldn't have came through there at any point during, say, from 6 am to noon, to know if it would have.

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Maybe I did and didn't notice it, but anyway, so I thought it was. To me it sounds like this was all political, because it was made for the Monday to give federal workers a three-day weekend.

Speaker 2:

Hmm, why do they need a three-day weekend?

Speaker 1:

Well, this is Jody's logic.

Speaker 2:

Oh, don't get him started In Jody's perfect world.

Speaker 1:

I would say put all holidays on Saturday, Plain and simple.

Speaker 2:

Everybody's not off on Saturdays.

Speaker 1:

I understand that, but it makes a whole lot more sense to me than you're going to bite my hand.

Speaker 1:

On Labor Day. Let's celebrate it on a Saturday Christmas, a Saturday Thanksgiving. Let's celebrate it on a saturday. Christmas, a saturday thanksgiving. Let's celebrate on a saturday because you change, especially these holidays that are changed up, like july 4th, throughout the way. It messes everything up if you're in a business to where you get certain deliveries on a certain day or whatever it is. Say you work, work for Amazon. You know people shut down. Just like Christmas, you have to shut down. I would hope most places shut down, except I know hospitals don't. But you have to rearrange scheduling. You have to do this, do that, this, that and the other Shameless plug and I'm just like it's just so. Just just bam, everything's on a saturday.

Speaker 2:

You know ahead of time go with it, shut it all down, shut it all down.

Speaker 1:

Forget this three-day weekend, because that's what? Yeah, between that, between the government giving their workers three-day weekends and hallmark making up all these holidays and secretary's day and all this stuff to where we have to buy cards and stuff.

Speaker 2:

You about to get in trouble now. I'm just saying Hate mail.

Speaker 1:

Well, just saying.

Speaker 2:

Jay.

Speaker 1:

Ratliff, if there's guys listening to me right now, they would agree with me. Unless you work for the federal government and you're like he's a bozo, he needs to shut his mouth, but everything else is yeah.

Speaker 2:

You hitting it hard.

Speaker 1:

So you know you're celebrating, you're memorializing, we talked about that, but is there anything that goes on on Memorial Day? You've got like on July 4th you have. Coney Island has the hot dog eating contest. Joey Chestnut talk about him all the time on the other podcast. The records that he sets All these hot dogs he can eat in 10 minutes. It is crazy, it's the worst thing.

Speaker 2:

Hey, let me tell you, but didn't he get in trouble?

Speaker 1:

He did. But let me tell you something If you've never seen it, don't just go watch the video, because it might make you throw up. Gross Look, it is terrible. It's gross, because if you watch them, you'll see some of the people that actually participate. They will throw up, so that's nasty, and they shoot fireworks.

Speaker 2:

Why do they shoot fireworks on Memorial Day?

Speaker 1:

Well, on July 4th I get it, but on Memorial Day we heard fireworks being shot and I don't understand.

Speaker 2:

It's almost the same thing as saying Happy Memorial Day. Don't you think a veteran doesn't want to hear that? Yeah, saying happy memorial day, don't you think a veteran?

Speaker 1:

doesn't want to hear that. Yeah, we're.

Speaker 2:

We're shooting fireworks for the people that lost their lives to keep us free yeah, doesn't make sense I mean I, I know maybe you're, maybe you're deep in the sauce.

Speaker 1:

All day long you've been hitting it pretty hard and then that night you're like, hey, we're gonna shoot some roman candles, shooting fireworks on memorial day? I don't know, I guess they just thought maybe it's kids that like and let's put a limit on these fireworks.

Speaker 2:

Of what time? If it's after 11 o'clock, don't shoot fireworks, that's true. Okay, I'll give you till midnight.

Speaker 1:

That's what I hate about new year's eve is because it's a free for us, like, hey, we're letting you do whatever you want to up until probably 2 o'clock in the morning. If you ain't got to shoot them at midnight, we'll let you keep going as late as you want to, which is crazy.

Speaker 2:

That's rough, I'm not a big—well.

Speaker 1:

I like fireworks, but I would say, when it gets dark—, shoot them and get it over with 9, 30, maybe 10 o'clock and be done be done with it.

Speaker 2:

Some people have to work.

Speaker 1:

I know exactly right, that's it. Some people have to get up early and work and it scares the everybody's got dogs out of dogs everybody's. Majority of people now seem to have dogs in their house and everything, but we used to have a chocolate lab named sadie in their house and everything, but we used to have a chocolate lab named Sadie. If it thundered, she was under the bed, so you can imagine the fireworks.

Speaker 2:

She did not like fireworks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but this dog right here, winston, he don't care, he don't care.

Speaker 2:

As long as he's in your lap, nothing bothers him at all Nothing. Earthquake? I don't think he'd even bat an eye at him.

Speaker 1:

Hmm, earthquake. I don't think he'd even bat an eye at him. But anyway, I don't think there's anything on Memorial Day. I do know that I was thinking of some kind of event that we might do on Memorial Day, but I don't think of anything. But I know the president puts a wreath on the.

Speaker 2:

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Speaker 1:

I know that's a tradition I've seen the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Speaker 2:

I know you's a tradition.

Speaker 1:

I've seen the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I know you did, sorry. You saw a lot of stuff in Washington, a trip that you didn't care about taking, which I would have loved to have gone.

Speaker 2:

I tried to get you to go. I appreciate you for rubbing that in. I tried to get you to go. Yeah, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that's Did. Did y'all see the, the switching of the guards?

Speaker 1:

yeah, we saw it all have you ever watched the videos of somebody that crosses over the chain or tries to walk?

Speaker 2:

up and get a close picture. Oh yeah, if you hadn't seen that, that's something to that's something to do.

Speaker 1:

So another thing that I saw this might happen on memorial day. I don't know, I think it was last week when it happened, might have been the week before, but it's in england. But it's that cheese rolling contest, you know when they? I don't know if we've ever talked about this before. We've watched a documentary we've watched it.

Speaker 2:

Right, we've what? Yeah, we've watched it.

Speaker 1:

I don't think we've ever talked in depth about all of it. But last week when they had it, there was a guy it was a video that I don't know how many times I saw it but this guy, this dude, goes airborne. He, like you know, they run, they start running down this hill and then they start sliding and flopping and all this stuff. Anyway, he hit wrong whatever and flopping and all that stuff. Anyway, he hit wrong whatever and he just went airborne flipping. I don't know how far he went and then landed. I don't know if it was him that got hurt or whatever, but somebody got hurt. They had two or three events.

Speaker 2:

He was flipping over the cheese. Do they roll with the cheese? What do they do All?

Speaker 1:

right, so everybody's on top of the hill, okay. And it's kind of like three, two, one go and everybody takes off, but they roll the cheese down the hill.

Speaker 2:

Big cheese.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the big cheese.

Speaker 2:

That's what they call me the big cheese. That's my nickname. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, okay, so it's like a five-pound wagon wheel like a mini wagon wheel size I. It looks like a wagon wheel like a mini wagon wheel size I think it's five pounds, I don't know. Anyway. So yeah, whoever can get down the hill the fastest wins. The cheese gets the big cheese. So somebody got hurt and had to be airlifted, and I think they call it air bust.

Speaker 2:

They got run over by cheese.

Speaker 1:

No, on the way down, either somebody ran over Boy if you see as many times as they flip and flop, I mean I way down that either somebody ran out boy. If you say as many times as they flip and flop, I mean you probably. I'm surprised more. You know, uh, head trauma doesn't happen because it's it looks pretty dangerous. I wouldn't do it. If I was younger I'd do it.

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't do it now. At my age, I wouldn't do it but I'd like to watch it I'd like to watch it, but I don't like that, would that?

Speaker 1:

would. It's something that we're gonna talk about on our next episode. I would watch it just like with your soapbox Right, the Red Bull soapbox that we hooked on Right. Zip it or stop right there. Zip, check that out on the next episode.

Speaker 2:

Zip, zip, to be continued on that one, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that would be. I don't know, I don't think it would be a bucket do, but if I ever worked my way over to england I might see if I could time it to where I'd be going over there when this is going to, because I'd like where you could watch it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'd like to. I'd like to not be in it. No, no, no, no, but I'd like to see like the chasing of the bulls I don't want to be a part of that at all.

Speaker 1:

Is that what it's called running of the bulls? That's about stupid yeah, if I'm in a windowsill, like on the third level, watching them go by like a balcony, yeah, I'm there but I'm not going to be on the street corner.

Speaker 2:

You like watching those dumb people?

Speaker 1:

I'm not, you know. I've always thought, you know Jody's going to be taken out by that freak accident. This is not going to be a freak accident, because you're not going to see me on the sidewalk when the bulls are coming by no, you just ride bulls, that's all yeah. That was a long time ago.

Speaker 2:

Well, what's the difference?

Speaker 1:

There's a big difference. Is there 35 years difference.

Speaker 2:

No, I mean, what's the difference in riding a bull and running from a bull?

Speaker 1:

There's still a big difference. Riding a bull and running away from a bull are two totally different things.

Speaker 2:

You still.

Speaker 1:

You got to know what you're doing in both okay situations.

Speaker 2:

You're still dumb. In both situations I would run from a bull nowadays.

Speaker 1:

Before I'd ride a bull and apparently I wasn't that smart back back then was it? Was it fun? It was the. I'll tell you when you, when you're on a bull and you feel the power that they have when you're in the shoot with them it's an adrenaline rush.

Speaker 1:

It is an adrenaline rush, but your nerves are like man, what am I doing? I'm crazy, I've lost my mind. You know it's like there's no backing out now. But the kicker is it's like it's one thing, because when you first get on the bull and you sit down in the chute, you're holding on to both To the rails, yeah, Right To the chute is they lean to one side. They're not standing up, they're leaning on one side. So the guys have to put their boots in between the railing and push the bull upright so you can get your leg down beside them.

Speaker 1:

So guess what, now that you've got?

Speaker 2:

your leg sitting on them.

Speaker 1:

They move their boots, and what does the bull do? He leans back over there. So now your legs you know, yeah, so there's a lot. Nobody thinks about that either. But when you're sitting on them you know you're nervous, you're excited, adrenaline starting and all this stuff. But it doesn't get real until they start tightening that bull rope and when your hand tightens and you realize that it is so tight.

Speaker 2:

You don't tighten the rope, do you? No, your other dude, your person, tightens it, or whatever you tell them when to stop.

Speaker 1:

But they tighten that and you've got, you've heated up. It's got rosin, you know, on the bull rope and you heat it up. You're going up and down on there and you're heating it up with your glove. Why down on there and you're heating it up with your glove? Why make it sticky? So then, so when they tie, they put it in there. You put your hand in there. They tighten it up. It is so tight. You're thinking there is no way my hand's gonna come out of this and I'm gonna be stuck. That's what you think. Because it's so tight. I'm just stuck on this bull. I'm just stuck on this bull, and we even even got out of the chute.

Speaker 2:

yet you're still in in the chute, still in the chute.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, and then too you have to slide it. And I'm talking like I'm a professional and I'm by no means professional. If I'd have done it longer, I know I would have got good at it, because it's just something you'd have to learn. You just can't do it. You can and you just can't ride three or four bulls and you know you get buried.

Speaker 2:

Why got you started on riding bulls?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I don't know the guy's eyes hanging around, but anyway. So once you get your hand tied down, all this stuff or wrapped, whatever you call it, you slide up on your hand and you have to lean over the bull's head so you want to be in front. You don't ever want to get back. If you ever get back on like leaned back, you're in trouble.

Speaker 1:

If you ever get pushed off of your hand so you're actually like sitting further on them. So now, instead of your hand being up close, you've scooted away. You're in a danger zone. Your butt's on the back end of the bull. He's going to pop you and you're. You're gonna be skyrocketed, yeah, but the other thing is you're leaned up on the your hand and your head is leaned up over the horns or the hump, like one boy I rode.

Speaker 1:

His name was sleepy. They called him 71, also known as sleepy. He's got this big hump right. So you're leaning over him like this, right here, and it's like you're, you know, gonna kiss the hump and you're thinking you wear a mask no, I mean a any kind of cover face face cover no we were the real deal back then real deal. Here we go, which is great, you know, they're a bull rider, just got killed. A couple weeks ago I saw oh really no, we, we, no. We wore of course the vests.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

But if they land solid, quit Quit. I'm talking to the dog, I'm not talking to Amanda for those that are listening. If the bull lands solid on you, like on your chest, it's going to kill you anyway with all that weight. So all that vest is basically doing is keeping you from getting gored if he slings it and All that vest is basically doing is keeping you from getting gored.

Speaker 1:

If he slings it and they're not tipped, the tips are cut off, sanded down, whatever you want to call it. So you don't have a sharp point, you're not going to get gored, but it still won't hurt if he gets you in between the fence and horn.

Speaker 2:

I wouldn't mind going to a rodeo. Yeah, the PBR.

Speaker 1:

PBR yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm thinking PRB.

Speaker 1:

I hear the pr, pbr, pbr.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm saying prb, right, yeah, pbr, we went, didn't we one time?

Speaker 1:

a few times and a few times. Yeah, I guess we did a few times I mean we've been to local stuff and all that but, yeah, I think anyway, however, we got on that you started, you were running with the bulls and you asked me about riding riding of the bulls riding.

Speaker 2:

So would you rather ride or run? Oh, run. See, I just think that's the craziest thing ever.

Speaker 1:

Well, no, if I'm running, are you talking about being on the streets? Just like they do or are you talking about me being in a field.

Speaker 2:

Just like they do.

Speaker 1:

Are you talking about any situation and you're having to run away?

Speaker 2:

I'm talking about what they do to run another bull.

Speaker 1:

See, I thought you were just meaning, like any situation, I'm running away from a bull. No, I'll take that all day long.

Speaker 2:

I'll take yeah, because You're going to get trampled on.

Speaker 1:

There's no scenario You're not telling me. Am I like 10 feet away and they say go and they let the bull loose and I've got to get away, yeah, or am I just standing on the streets waiting?

Speaker 2:

for the bulls to run.

Speaker 1:

I'm waiting on the bulls to come around the corner.

Speaker 2:

We don't.

Speaker 1:

We know they're coming eventually, and every all these guys are standing around waiting, and then we just start taking off running I'm taking my chances with that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, I can push a guy down and you can get trampled on and get pushed down.

Speaker 1:

Yeah all right because if I do that it's legit. I'm touching a bull because I'm riding a bull. I'm in a shoot, we're making contact. There could be more contact coming. I could get hurt. If I'm riding a bull, if I'm running with the bulls, there's a 95 99 chance. Whatever it is that I'm not even gonna get near it. So possible?
