Welcome back, episode 47. It's me, jody, that would be Amanda, me. And then we've got Winston, and he's not going to say nothing because he's laying there. And then we've got Winston, and he's not going to say nothing because he's leaving here. I found out this weekend that Amanda loves women boxing.
Speaker 1You need to tell the truth.
Speaker 2You wanted to watch it. You watched like four hours of boxing. You wanted the excuse that I liked it. Couldn't take your eyes off of it.
Speaker 1I tried to get you to box and you wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2Look at these chicks hitting each other Because you thought I would whip your tail well, I get in trouble for saying chicks, probably in each other but hold up, back up a minute.
Speaker 1You made me stay in my church clothes while we're recording on a sunday again, which we say we don't like to record on sundays but here we are.
Speaker 2Does it always happen on sunday?
Speaker 1and you made me stay in my church clothes. I know, I don't like church clothes.
Speaker 2Well, we're working a video and then storage on my phone. Here we go again Storage on my phone. I don't have enough storage. I can actually record it, but then I can't do like if I go into CapCut or anything.
Speaker 1Stop recording animals. You know I do record a lot of animals. Be done with the animals fish feeding ducks. Give me the attention that you give the animals, but you know you don't. Did you see that? You just passed?
Speaker 2it along.
Speaker 1I video these animals because I don't know, you just passed it along again something might happen something crazy well, you never know with me when something might happen you're right, you're right so back to the whole boxing thing.
Speaker 2So I kept seeing on net Netflix to where they're having women's boxing coming up on. Was it the 11th? Was that?
Speaker 1Yeah, no Friday.
Speaker 2Which would have been the 11th right.
Speaker 1Yeah, I told you it was 11th.
Speaker 2So I was like you know well, that'll be something, if you know, if we're available, if we're at home to watch or whatever. Well it got to be, you know, 7 o'clock.
Speaker 1So you made sure we were at home.
Speaker 2No Well.
Speaker 1You made sure we were at home.
Speaker 2No, because I had a you wouldn't let me do nothing. Procedure done.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It just worked out. We got home about whatever time 8.
Speaker 1So he had this procedure, so he could not do nothing, so he could watch boxing.
Speaker 2Yeah, so it was just a few minutes before 7, and I went to Netflix, I think it was, and then I saw hey, it's on tonight and it says live. So I click on there and it's like a countdown three-minute countdown for it, oh my goodness, but anyway. So actually, when it started started and it was at madison square garden when it started we watched and it's like 7 30 and there ain't even close to having somebody box, so we just kept turning on and off, on going back and forth, and you actually went and I went and done, done a live.
Speaker 1I'm like you catch me later.
Speaker 2TikTok. Yes, okay, on your nail.
Speaker 1Yes, what is it called Press-on nails?
Speaker 2Your site. If people wanted to go to your TikTok, what is?
Speaker 1it called. That's all I'm asking. It's just Amanda, I don't actually know what my thing is. Well, it might help if you do that.
Speaker 2It might help if I did I was trying to give you a little bit of a plug.
Speaker 1Are you?
Speaker 2But you went and did that on TikTok. Did a TikTok live Well, I always keep that up.
Speaker 1Amanda Press on Nails. Okay, amanda Ratliff 3.
Speaker 2Okay, so that's where you do your Red Aspen stuff. You show how to put them on and take them on, it looks a little different. Yes, everything like that, yes, Okay, so finally, this was going to be the first time. Why is my phone locked up?
Speaker 1Because you want to use it.
Speaker 2I know it says the event was historic, marking the first time an all-women's professional boxing card was streamed live on Netflix from Madison Square Garden Scarden. According to Netflix.
Speaker 1You need a little help there.
Speaker 2Yeah, so the headliners. I watched all of them. I'm not into boxing or anything like that, but there's nothing on.
Speaker 1I cannot find anything really, we got all this stuff, yeah, and we can't find nothing. And we talk about that all the time too yes, we do.
The Historic Boxing Event
Speaker 2So you know, it was just something to watch because these women they will beat up on each other. But I don't know. I have boxed before with some buddies, like one round. You don't realize how long three minutes is until you're boxing with somebody you know. Right, You're over there, what are you doing?
Speaker 1Well, I had a comment on my video and I like to get back to them, so I just replied to them.
Speaker 2Okay, sorry, go ahead, i'm'm listening so these rounds were two minute rounds, so it was not your average three minute round, and I don't know if they changed that for this or if that's the women, if that's the rules for women's boxing. I don't know anything. Nobody had the four fights that I watched.
Speaker 1Nobody got knocked out is that what you were here for the knockout?
Speaker 2well, I wanted to see somebody struggle. I really did Listen. How rude, well you do. You want to see somebody like, finally get one good punch in and the other one starts staggering, loses their legs out from under them, whatever, like that, or gets into the ring ropes and then just getting waylaid on. That's what I was waiting. There was some waylaying going on but nobody ever, you know, went down.
Speaker 1There was some waylaying going on, but nobody ever you know went down. I think I went down with the first punch.
Speaker 2Yeah, so every one of the fights went 10 rounds, the official 10 rounds, but the main event was Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. And that Taylor, she'd won two. They fought each other twice before. I think she's Irish, she's beat Serrano both times and this time I was just for Serrano.
Speaker 1So why did they want to fight again when she's already won twice Money?
Speaker 2Money. I don't know how much. They said it was. Millions of dollars is what this fight was on, so I don't know if they got a couple million apiece.
Speaker 1But they said they weren't going to do it again.
Speaker 2Is that what they said? Was this it?
Speaker 1yeah, I would think at the end of it they said, yeah, no more I mean like why I? Beat you three times you let me just keep on.
Speaker 2If I beat you, let's go street fight if I beat you one time and you want to rematch yeah, that's understandable if I've beat you twice why do you even want to do it?
Speaker 2again, the only reason I would think it is because of the money. But I will say this, and I need to research this. But you know, I told you when you know it's long and drawn out, you know they have this intro music and all this kind of stuff. It's pretty cool, it's hyped up by that main event. You know Madison Square Garden was sold out. I mean, there wasn't an empty seat, it didn't look like it anyway. But that Katie Taylor the Irish, I think she's from Ireland.
Speaker 1I'm pretty sure you might need to check your facts, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2Okay, their flag is orange, white and green. I believe she came out to a I think it's a Christian song, I don't know if it's a newer song. It was saying like my king is the redeemer, um stuff. I was like I tried to listen close. I was like is that really a christian song?
Speaker 1you didn't shazam it.
Speaker 2No, I did not, you should have shazam well, let's go back to the storage on my phone. I've gotten rid of shazam app just so I could have extra storage on my phone, okay.
The Marlow Bird App
Speaker 1Be truthful you got rid of Shazam so you could get the bird app. Yeah, marlin.
Speaker 2Hey, if y'all are bird lovers, if you like watching birds.
Speaker 1We could talk for an hour on birds, if you like bird feeders.
Speaker 2If you've got a hummingbird feeder, if you like watching these birds in the evening times, anything like that, get the Marlowe app. I can't say that I found this on my own. I found this through my sister and brother-in-law, apparently. As you get old, we all have the same thing in common, except for Amanda. She's not quite. Give her three more years and she'll be up there with us maybe, but as you get older, apparently birds is a thing that you like to listen and watch and all that stuff. But anyway, they tell me about the Marlowe app and when you download it, all you do is it listens to the birds chirping, singing, whatever and it identifies them for you. It'll let you know if it's a what is it not a normal bird, that you see Exotic.
Speaker 1Well, no, I wouldn't say exotic.
Speaker 2That's a little out there, huh yeah. But anyway, any bird for you you basically have to put in your location. So like we've got a neighbor two houses down that's got a cockatoo, well, it won't pick it up because it's just narrowing down localized birds. I mean. So I don't know what a cockatoo is or its origination, don't know. If we put that in there it would identify what type it is. Rare that's what I was looking for. Rare it lets you know if it's a bird that it picks up is rare or not for this area. But it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1You know, you might have up to 16 birds within a few minutes of uh. So does it keep those recordings when you're sitting there recording it or whatever?
Speaker 2there's a file in there, but I don't that you. You can look back and I don't know if you can I was gonna say I hope, is that taking up storage? I think so I don't think you can click and listen to it, but you might can click it and see what it identifies yeah, because it has the yeah. Because it has the picture.
Speaker 1I mean everywhere we go. Yeah, if he hears a bird, he's like oh, let me get it out.
Speaker 2But if it has, you know, it pops up the picture and all that stuff and you can click on it and it tells you all about it.
Speaker 1It'll tell you you know the female.
Speaker 2You're like oh, I got you on the boxing, yeah you is. Yeah, I need to research, because it's very uncommon to hear a Christian song that a boxer or anything like that they come out to. I just was not expecting that, especially with the lifestyle of some of these women boxers. I know that because they're tough, my goodness. You know they're manly, they are tough. I couldn't get out. Hey, when you saw. Hey, I want to see the next day. I want to see the next day.
Speaker 2I want to see the picture of them I don't know how they feel when they got to be the next morning show me a picture of their face, because if your eyes almost completely closed friday night, what does it look like saturday morning?
Speaker 1bad I know you feel rough.
Speaker 2Their bodies gotta just be what about your nose, you know? And there was a lot of blood a.
Speaker 1Did they do cold plunges? Does that help your body?
Speaker 2Cold plunges yeah, they say it does. It doesn't help my body because I don't like to be cold. They say it's worth it though the way you feel afterwards. But the three minutes that you're in there, or the two minutes, no. I know Adam Carolla. He's a comedian. I've heard him say that he doesn't have a cold plunge but he takes a cold shower. It's kind of the same thing, but it's not as cold as what a cold plunge would be, because you can do like 34 degrees. When you do a cold plunge, cold water out of your faucet is what.
Speaker 1It's not that cold, no.
Speaker 2But it's still cold if you're standing under it you know, yeah, but I couldn't do it. The only time I took a cold shower is when I found out when I got up one morning and take a shower, that our hot water heater didn't work, and that was a struggle. So I don't want to experience that again. I don't know. I need to find out how much money they made for this. Let me look this up while you're talking. Can you talk one of them?
Speaker 1What am I going to talk about?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 1We got a sale going on right now, but by the time you hear this it's probably gone.
Speaker 2No, it's not.
Speaker 1I got a sale going through the 17th. What am I talking about? We're going to release tomorrow, on the 14th. Oh yeah, you got plenty of time.
Speaker 2Join me on my tiktok and I'll show you what nails are on sale as low as six dollars.
Speaker 1You like that commercial. Yes, you like that pretty good commercial. We got daily deals ten dollars different daily deals, forgot what tomorrow's is, but today's is makeup wipes and $10 nails. Tomorrow's deal is I'll tell you one day. I'll tell you. I forgot what is tomorrow, monday. It's a highlighting stick. We have cream highlighter sticks also. We have makeup.
Speaker 2Now back to our story. I've got this. Now I've got these facts. Are you done he?
Speaker 1don't like my girl talk. Okay, has some cute nails that are $10, also tomorrow For her fight on Friday night, streamed on Netflix.
Speaker 2Katie Taylor reportedly earned a purse of $6 million. This payday is part of the highly anticipated trilogy fight against Amanda Serrano, which was also promoted by Jake Paul's most valuable promotions.
Speaker 1So that's why you saw Jake Paul. So he just promotes them.
Speaker 2Yeah, he's a promoter, that's why you see him behind every one of those women.
Speaker 1So he's not their manager or whatever, he's just a promoter.
Speaker 2Yeah, promoter manager.
Speaker 1Are they the same?
Speaker 2thing? No, not really, but I mean he has a say in stuff, though. So the first was a significant oh, the fight was a significant event, not just for the athletes but also for the sport of boxing, with the potential for a large audience due to it streaming on Netflix. I don't know what the numbers were yet.
Speaker 1I was going to say have we heard any numbers.
Speaker 2Both Taylor and Serrano are expected to have earned substantial purses, with some reports suggesting a total purse of $18 million to be split between them. Wow, that is a lot. Let me see.
Speaker 1I might go fight somebody for that. Yeah, I don't know, what Is it worth it.
Speaker 2Is it?
Speaker 1worth feeling the way you would feel the next day. I mean, I know they train and all this, but you can't tell me they're not hurting the next day.
Speaker 2Oh, definitely hurting.
Speaker 1How long does it take them to get over it? How long do you think it takes them to quit? You know, because, like, if you're in a wreck or something like that, you know, say, the second or third day is your worst day of pain.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So what do you think when you're boxing?
Speaker 2I mean oh, let's see the female boxing match between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on Netflix, which was part of the undercard for the Jake Ball vs Mike Tyson fight had an estimated 74 million live viewers globally Wow. This makes it the most watched professional women's sporting event in US history, according to Netflix.
Speaker 1Wow, but you know when, jake, so before Netflix done, these were the fights. Live anywhere else, you had to pay for them right, you had HBO.
Speaker 2Hbo, okay, it was a big, big boxing channel.
Speaker 1Yes, okay.
Big Money in Women's Boxing
Speaker 2Which, on that, you just had to have a subscription to HBO to watch it, because they had Friday Night Boxing or whatever it was, but they had the main events. You had Tyson, yeah, stuff like that what are your women? They never really showed women. You know, they talked about that right.
Speaker 1They talked about it, they wouldn't show talked about.
Speaker 2She had a a main event where she fought at madison square garden, but it wasn't televised but it wasn't televised because it was women yeah, so so what do your other boxers make?
Speaker 1that wasn't the main event. How much? How much are they bringing in?
Speaker 2oh, I'm, you know, probably. So if you're not the winner, do you?
Speaker 1still get something. Yeah, you still get something you've got. Yeah, you've got a contract you've got some kind of contract? Yes, yeah, yeah, but it was, uh, I don, I don't know I just don't get sitting there, not sitting there standing there dancing around in the ring boxing. I know people love it, I know they make money on it?
Speaker 2You talking about watching it or actually doing it?
Speaker 1Or no, actually doing it.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1I mean, I don't. Well you say it, mary, I don't even really care to watch it.
Speaker 2You say it's a.
Speaker 1I like the MMA fight.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you say it's the 10th round. You say how they're so winded, they're so tired.
Speaker 1And it's just two minute rounds and all you're doing is you're getting.
Speaker 2You're sweating blood on, yeah, because you're trying to get your breath and you're holding on to one another for a second.
Speaker 1And you're trying them not to.
Speaker 2Yeah, so that the ref will break you apart, so that you're not continuously you know, I mean you're wearing yourself out. So, yeah, that's the way you get a break is when you hold on to the person or get them up against the ring ropes and hold on to them and they have to be broke apart I don't, I don't blame, no mma, mma's twice as bad. That's bad, ain't it? Yeah, because they're trying to break your leg and arm and dislocate your shoulder, and they're what makes you want to do that?
Speaker 1are you a mean person if you want to fight?
Speaker 2it's got to be in you. You've got to be tough. You just got a tough streak and you like and that's a way you can let it out I guess I don't want to do it mean he's about to go around, or two the two fight the two first mma fights that I've ever that I ever saw both of them.
Speaker 2A guy got they are the the ones I saw one one time and then months later when I watched another and same thing happened of course different guy, but it's dislocated shoulders and you saw it pop out of joint and all that and it was like, oh, my goodness, about to make you throw up. I mean, I can't handle.
Speaker 1Yeah, you can't handle it.
Speaker 2But you know they're trying to get him to tap out Whatever position I can put you in to, where it is hurting so bad that you're tapping out. You're hollering, uncle, letting me up.
Speaker 1I just don't want to hear you. You're hollering Uncle.
Speaker 2You never heard that.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2You've never heard hollering Uncle.
Speaker 1No, okay, why are we hollering Uncle?
Speaker 2That's just a saying.
Speaker 1Oh, you've never Okay. I don't think so, okay I. I don't think so, okay, I never heard that one.
Speaker 2But yeah, you're trying to choke them out. I mean anything, Whatever. That's the scariest thing when you see these guys get choked out. It is. You get a mess up, so why do you?
Speaker 1want to watch that. Why do you want to do that? Well, that's a man thing.
Why People Fight and Watch
Speaker 2I know some women like to watch it brutal sports, it's like football. That's why men like football, because they like that toughness, that hitting. You know pads hitting each other. Except this right here is a little bit different I was gonna say that's a lot different that's a lot of money, though it's a lot well, just like them splitting possibly 18 million is it worth it to put your body through that for the money?
Speaker 1I've talked to some people, is it really you?
Speaker 2talk about like would you take a punch from Mike Tyson for like, you name the price and I don't.
Speaker 1Even like a million dollars.
Speaker 2No, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1Because he'd kill me? Yeah, exactly, because you're not ready for it. So then, what good is it to you?
Speaker 2It's not.
Speaker 1Not.
Speaker 2Because it's not, not Because you can't take it with you. So what good is it? You're right, but anyway. So I don't know the next time. I don't remember. Well, I did watch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson when they fought.
Speaker 1Yeah, we did watch that, but that wasn't a fight. We just watched that because that was hyped up.
Speaker 2I like Mike Tyson. I don't care about Jake Paul at all, at all.
Speaker 1That's not nice.
Speaker 2Well, I just don't, I don't like him.
Speaker 1Jody is brutally honest. I am honest.
Speaker 2By the way, why am I going to lie? I'm not going to lie. I don't want to be mean, but take it the way you do.
Speaker 1You don't know him.
Speaker 2I know enough. You see how they carry their self, whether you like it or not. I'm not saying that Mike Tyson is a great guy. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying I don't like the showboat and all that. But that was for show, that was not a fight. I was hoping it was going to be something a little bit better than what it was, but better than what it was.
Speaker 2But before that, I couldn't tell you the last fault that I've ever seen Boxing match, and I couldn't tell you if I'm ever going to watch it again, because it's just not something. This was just something that just hey, I kept seeing them Since we turned on Netflix all the time. You could have been like on any other platform that they could have been promoting and all that stuff and I'd never known about it and I just wouldn't have watched it. But since it kept showing up on Netflix and the timing was right, that's the only reason we watched it. But I really did want to see somebody get knocked out. Is that bad?
Speaker 1I don't know. Is it that you want to see somebody get knocked out? I don't know. No, All right done with fighting.
Speaker 2Yeah, I am too.
Speaker 1What do we got coming up?
Speaker 2We got Vbs at church everybody. We have had a lot of people working hard, uh, to get that. Vps, vps vps.
Speaker 1What is that? Yes, that's an eye insurance when I worked at the eye doctor so vacation bible school is what we were talking about.
Speaker 2For people that don't know what that is um, but had a lot of.
Speaker 1We have a a director that bust her tail she's awesome.
Speaker 2Yeah, she's done a lot, um, she's carried a lot of the weight and uh, you can tell I mean it's amazing the stuff she's done and got looks good. She's got it all decorated we're having a sunday night service in our old sanctuary, because that's where everything is decorated at and we're having it there. So kind of show it off to let the members of the church that aren't aware or can't be involved in the upcoming week We'll see what it's all about, kind of unveiling it for everybody.
Speaker 1They can't be involved. We just ask them to pray for the kids that are coming through. That's right that they'll hear the message. That's right that they'll hear the message.
Church Activities and Prayer
Speaker 2That's right. And do you know what an estimate is on how many kids we might have?
Speaker 1Oh, we usually have around 100.
Speaker 2Really, that's good, yeah, so it'll be good.
Speaker 1So it's going to be a busy week.
Speaker 2Is that a Monday through Friday thing?
Speaker 1Yeah, monday through.
Speaker 2Thursday, five days from 9 am to 9 to 12, I think. So like three hours a day.
Speaker 1That's not bad. Then we got a team going mission team going to Kentucky.
Speaker 2What are?
Speaker 1they going to do? Well, some will be construction, some will be. They'll go around and talk to people. It's called something, I just can't get the word out and then Evangelize. And then the VBS director is going again and she's going to be leading another VBS, so she got VBS two weeks in a row.
Speaker 2That'll wear you out.
Speaker 1I think she deserves two weeks off in a row.
Speaker 2Shout out, we'll put a word in for her. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1Shout out to Jania.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1She loves our kids.
Speaker 2You know, you always hear that, well, the Lord's working in my life or the Lord's working in our church. You know, just because you see something or whatever it is. But you've got to understand. Understand the Lord is always working in your life.
Speaker 1The Lord is always working in your church when you don't see it.
Speaker 2That's right. Just because you see something positive happening in there, that doesn't mean you stop and reflect. You know, and you're thanking God for it. You need to thank God. There's a lot of stuff behind the scenes that you ain't got a clue, that God's working on for years to come and we have no clue.
Speaker 1Then you realize it Right Afterwards Exactly. Oh, he was there too, right, there's a plan. He's there every minute of every second. That's right. That's right For the day.
Speaker 2In my Sunday school class that I teach every day, or at the end of class, I always ask you, know what's good going on in your life? I always ask you know what's good going on in your life? Anything bad going on, praise reports, prayer requests, unspokens, and it's always they know that nothing bad is going on, so that's a good thing. That's what they always say. I've kind of told them that, and the thing about it too, is I tell them that we tend to pray when bad things are going on. When good things are going on, it's almost like you feel like you don't need God as much because you're in control, everything's fine, you know. And then maybe your prayer life isn't where it needs to be because everything's going good, you know. So you're kind of missing the thing.
Speaker 2So we always and I'm kind of coming at a point of teaching these boys this I always tell them you know, you need to come to a point where don't ever think you're in control and don't ever think, just because everything's fine and dandy right now, that it can't be. You know, something might happen tomorrow, you just never know. So don't let that affect your prayer life. You need nothing bad going on. You need to be praying, you need to be thanking god for, you know, for everything good that's going on in your life and everything, so then it'll help you. Uh, you know when the times are rough, so I try, and you know, emphasize it in prayer life is is very important. Don't don't ever just stop praying, and you can't do it wrong. You can't't pray wrong.
Speaker 1No, but we think we can. I know we think we do.
Speaker 2I've gotten to where some of the boys in there I'm trying to get them to step up and I'm wanting them to pray for us at the end of class yeah, and I have a couple that go to every time. They'll do it and I don't want that all the time. And I, but I try and tell them to you know, like, hey, 10 years ago, if you'd asked me to, you know, pray in this class, or anything like that, there is no way I didn't have the you know confidence. I didn't think I could. And then, and I try and tell him, like you cannot say anything wrong. You can't pray wrong. God knows what's on your heart. He wants to hear from you, even though he knows what's going on in your life. He wants to hear from you about it. But we had a very good class today. I must say. It seems like our class is really gelling together.
Speaker 2Mine too, we have so many different ages. We had eight boys in there today, but today a lot of them were closer in age than what we have sometimes. But it's just like everybody has just gotten to where they talk to each other. They get along good. We cut up and then they're participating, you know, in questions that we have during the lesson. I think if you go in there, especially with teenagers, and you just start the lesson right off the, if you like small talk for a minute, then you start the lesson and you're just talking the lesson the whole time.
Speaker 2I think you not that you're burning the boys out or anything like that, but I like to try to build that relationship that's what I've been trying to do and that's why we do that for them we do trivia questions and we do uh like here lately they like the family feud questions and stuff like that. You know so. So we'll do like 20 of those questions. We'll go back and see who you know got the the most um stuff like that before we start the lesson and just trying to break things down and that's really helped. So but also leave it to them on what kind of trivia Let them decide, so we can change it up and all that.
Speaker 1All right. Well, I think we've done pretty good, yep, it's lunchtime.
Speaker 2We've got to get off this thing because we've got to head back to church here soon.
Speaker 1We ended with prayer. That's good Talking about prayer.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's pretty good. Prayer is very important. Prayer is very important. It needs to be a part of your life, no doubt, and if it's not, well, I pray that it soon will be.
Speaker 1If you need help, leave us a comment.
Speaker 2That's right. There is a way to get in contact. You can leave a comment and then from there we can work on how to communicate one-on-one with any questions. No doubt, because that's what we're here for. All right, All right.
