• Women can be surprisingly aggressive and competitive in boxing, as observed during a recent Netflix women's boxing event
• The rise of Caitlin Clark has dramatically increased interest and viewership in the WNBA
• A tragic case where a man killed his entire family over fears of homelessness despite assurances he would be taken care of
• Lion attack at Darling Downs Zoo in Australia resulted in the zoo owner's sister losing her arm
• Yellowstone bison goring incident shows why visitors should maintain the recommended 25-yard distance from wildlife

Welcome back to episode 47. It's me Jody.
Speaker 2Me Amanda.
Speaker 1And Amanda looks like she's about to fall asleep. I am. I can't keep my eyes open and it's not Sunday when we're recording. It's a Saturday.
Speaker 2I don't know what day it is, so you should be happy.
Speaker 1And before we get really into anything, I want to talk about when we watched boxing the other night. We watched women's boxing. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2A month ago.
Speaker 1Yeah, it seems like it. Maybe it was like two weeks ago.
Speaker 2Two weeks, something like that. It was two weeks.
Speaker 1Yeah, we're going to talk about it and then we end up not being able to record. But Netflix had a thing. It was women's boxing. It was an event, I think was it four fights and the only reason I watched it was because— it just took forever.
Speaker 2I just know that.
Speaker 1Yeah, every time that you turned on weeks prior to it and the little advertisement thing popped up. So I thought that's interesting. So you know, when that day come, maybe we'll watch or whatever. So when it just so happened, you know that friday came and it was like tell the truth what?
Speaker 2it didn't just so happen. You made your schedule around it so you could watch.
Speaker 1Oh no, no no, I did not do that tell the truth so when it was a few minutes till seven tell the truth, you know it, it was a few minutes till 7, you know it was like a countdown. You turned it on there and there's a countdown, so we're just waiting. So when it comes on at 7, long story short, after flipping back and forth to different things in like 745, there's still nobody in the ring and there's no boxing gloves hitting cheeks and noses and faces. So it was long and drawn out, especially when you don't know the announcers, the people that are talking and all that you know you don't want to hear, but you know, just trying to get into it with them. Like you know, once they talked about you know some of the women that were boxing and stuff.
Speaker 2I think a lot of people knew the people talking you just don't because you don't watch that stuff.
Speaker 1But that people talking, you just don't because you don't watch that stuff. But that's not the point. It's like you said seven o'clock boxing, all right, I'm saying by 10 after. Look when, when we watch a college football game and it starts at six by 6 10 there's kickoff. Right, it might be 602, just depending on what's going on. What time of day, all this kind of stuff four weeks to college football, by the way, yeah so.
Speaker 1So when they say seven o'clock, you know I'm not saying the first punch is thrown at eight. Shouldn't be, but that's the way this was. Anyway, I started. Next time I turned on there they'd already started. But women can box. What is the deal with women? They like really get into it. They're tough. And my other question is being a woman. Why would you want to beat up on another woman? Why would you want to take a hit? Why would you want to take a punch in the face?
Speaker 2I don't know, because I don't want to.
Speaker 1Well, I don't want to either.
Speaker 2Why do women want to fight?
Speaker 1That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2They grow up in it, though? Is it a lot of women that like grew up in it, like their dad's done it, or their uncles, or are they trying to prove a point?
Speaker 1that might be a little bit of it. I don't think they're trying to prove a point, I just think it's something that somehow they got into into it. Yeah, it never give an opportunity to put on a boxing glove. Yes, I never box.
Speaker 2Are boxing gloves heavy?
Speaker 1Is it six ounces or eight ounces, I don't know. But I mean, once you carry them around for a little while, yeah, they get heavy. Well, bounce around for three minutes. That's a negative, that's a typical round and it'll wear you out. Now these rounds were two minutes, so it seemed like the rounds were over pretty quick, but nobody. So. Was it four matches or three, I can't remember now, and it wasn't that long ago, I don't remember. I was expecting somebody to get knocked out.
Speaker 2The only reason you wanted to watch is you wanted to see them hit the ground.
Speaker 1I wanted to see somebody get knocked out.
Speaker 2And you were so disappointed.
Speaker 1I was disappointed and every match went 10 rounds and I was disappointed. But you saw something they got their bell knocked off a few times. Is that what you say, Bell? Bell knocked off you didn't get your bell knocked off, you got your bell ringed.
Speaker 2Ringed.
Speaker 1Ringed Wrong, wrong.
Speaker 2Really yeah that too, Okay.
Speaker 1But the last match, you know we looked it up afterwards. I think it was anywhere between $2 and $8 million is what one of the women were getting.
Speaker 2So does that make it?
Speaker 1No, it wasn't even the winner, it was just the matchup. They'd already followed it twice.
Speaker 2Yes, this was their third match yeah, this was their third time. And they're like I, this was their third match. Yeah, this was their third time.
Speaker 1Yeah, and they're like I can't remember their names now.
Speaker 2After all this, and you don't even remember their names.
Speaker 1Wasn't she was? Was she from Ireland? I think she was from Ireland, Maybe I think so. So she'd beat the other lady twice. They'd fought once. She'd whooped up on her, so they had a rematch. She beat her again and now I'm questioning why are we going for the third time? You already proved your point right. Did we really fight three times?
Speaker 2It's usually the best two out of three, and if you've already won two, well then.
Speaker 1Yeah, why are you playing again? I mean boxing again. But she came out to Christian Music.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I remember you saying that. So I was shocked I really was. So then I had to do a little bit of research to see what this was about. And she's Catholic and I don't know how far her faith goes or anything like that, but I was really shocked to see that. But I mean, I don't watch boxing but I thought, hey, since, since you know netflix is going after these live events, they had tyson and uh, paul and tyson, which way?
Speaker 1yeah, you know they had that live event, you know, months ago now they've had this. Um, they're just trying.
Speaker 2They're trying different things, but it's pretty cool but you're saying, when they say 7 o'clock, get it going If you say 7 o'clock, at least by 7.15, we're boxing.
Speaker 1I need to see them out there. I need to see some activity in the ring behind them when they come on live.
Speaker 2You know you've already got your ref in there, so they had an hour of commentating.
Speaker 1They had an hour of coming and then showing videos and then repeating themselves, and it was.
Speaker 2Muhammad Ali's daughter. That was one of the people.
Speaker 1Yeah, is that?
Speaker 2right.
Speaker 1Yep, one of the announcers, Not announcers.
Speaker 2But Well, I guess she was, wasn't she?
Speaker 1She was talking about when she thought that she had a live event on.
Speaker 2HBO, they canceled it. Well, they had one on.
Speaker 1Madison Square Garden garden, and she said it wasn't even televised because it was huge yeah, so this is uh this is.
Speaker 2She said this has come a long way to be able for women to be televised yeah, this is my thing, men, women, whatever it is.
Speaker 1If there's a, if there's people out there that want to watch it, they they'll watch it right.
Speaker 2Yeah.
WNBA and Caitlin Clark's Impact
Speaker 1So that's what this is all about. It's kind of like the WNBA If you want to talk about professional women's basketball for a minute, nobody cares. Nobody has cared about it. I couldn't have told you anything about the WNBA until you can't say nobody cares. Until Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2You can't say nobody cares Until Caitlin Clark. You can't say nobody cares.
Speaker 1If I had a daughter that went pro, I'm watching it. I know about WNBA, but I don't have a daughter that plays, I don't care. So a lot of people don't care. A lot of people do care 99% of the world population don't care about women's professional basketball.
Speaker 2I'm not saying where those facts just came from.
Speaker 1They came from me and it's a fact.
Speaker 2Hmm, that's the Judy Ratliff facts, my point being until.
Speaker 1Caitlin Clark went professional out of college. That's when it got popular. She is the brand, she's the name behind the WNBA and you know and they're talking about they didn't get paid enough and all that stuff. I'm not going to get into all that, I'm just saying it's like if the money is there, if the money is coming in for a sport and there's people that want to watch, it'll be successful. So now people want to watch women's boxing. They've always wanted to watch it. But I think a little bit more and more and more and it's gotten popular. And then now you have somebody like netflix that's picking up. But I'm saying with basketball, women's basketball it has gotten popular just strictly because of Kaitlyn Clark. That's what I'm saying. Just like when she got hurt and she wasn't playing there for a few games, the ratings went down all across the board. Wow, imagine that.
Speaker 2Well, you sure know a lot not to care about it. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1I will tell you this though I've never watched a game, I never think about it. You know, watch highlights and stuff like that. But if, if I was, if we sit down at six o'clock tonight and we're flipping through and a game is about to start with, I'll sit there and start watching it.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1I think so. Because, I've never watched it. I don't like basketball. I've always liked, just like high school girls basketball, you can't follow it. Anything like that. Girls are so aggressive.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, Especially in high school basketball. They are so.
Speaker 1You talk about fouls and throwing some elbows.
Speaker 2We've watched high school basketball?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah, so they are that Throwing some elbows. We've watched high school basketball oh yeah, yeah, so yeah, women are competitive now, no doubt. No doubt I'll get off of that. What did you want to talk about? I've got a few other things that we can talk about. I got a few little articles.
Speaker 2I'll save mine till the end.
Speaker 1Can I tell you this story that I saw?
Speaker 2Of course you can.
Tragic Family Dispute Over Inheritance
Speaker 1Man kills entire family over homelessness fear. Does that make sense? What? Man kills entire family over homelessness fear.
Speaker 2He was going to go homeless.
Speaker 1He was afraid he was going to go homeless.
Speaker 2He was afraid his family was going homeless.
Speaker 1He was afraid he was going to go homeless. A devastating incident occurred in Long Island where a 59-year-old local auto mechanic, joseph DeLucia Jr, tragically shot and killed four family members before taking his own life. It's a terrible story, it really is. The heartbreaking event took place during a family gathering that was supposed to focus on the future of their mother's home following her recent passing. When you have a family member that passes a mother, father if there's a will, stuff like that I can see where it gets kind of a family dispute over property and things like that, and I think this is where this is kind of going. So the family had gathered at the longtime home of uh, the mother, who was 95 years old. I'd say she lived a long life if she was 95. The siblings planned the meeting to discuss the house sale and celebrate a family member's birthday. However, things took a tragic turn when joseph jr, fearing that he would lose his home while also believing he had been left out of his mother's will, opened fire.
Speaker 2Before he even knew what the will said.
Speaker 1Joseph, yep Joseph Jr, fired 12 rounds from a shotgun. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2A shotgun hold 12 rounds.
Speaker 1No, okay, but what I was going to say is if you're in close proximity and somebody's got a shotgun, you get shot with a shotgun. Wow, it's gonna, it is gonna mess you up. So if he's shot 12 times and you got family, I mean yeah, there's a, it's gonna be tragic anyway. So he uh fired 12 rounds from a shotgun, tragically taking the lives of uh, I guess a, a sister 69, from Tampa, frank, a brother, I guess 64, from North Carolina, tina, 64, and her daughter, victoria, which was 30. Both of them were from Long Island. After the shooting, joseph Jr went into the front lawn, or went onto the front lawn, shouting about his actions, before taking his own life. Subsequently, the police revealed that Joseph Jr's fears were unfounded. The family had assured him that he would be cared for, even though he would have to leave the house. Authorities later discovered that the mother had included all of her children in her will and Joseph Jr was not left out.
Speaker 2Well he's left out now because he's in jail. Oh no, he shot himself.
Speaker 1Yeah, they're all left out because Mama died, died and now everybody else is dead because of him.
Speaker 2That's beautiful.
Speaker 1Further down in the story there's a history of mental health challenges that he had. Of course, that played a part of it. So that's terrible. That's absolutely terrible. That's horrible. So that's terrible.
Speaker 2That's absolutely terrible.
Speaker 1That's horrible. That's, you know, the actions of another person that affect your life. You know, just like this guy right here, Just was it greed, Is it?
Speaker 2fear. What is it?
Speaker 1Right, both, if you're mentally unstable for whatever reason. And now maybe you've been told People can tell you anything and you not believe them. Maybe he's been told, hey, you ain't got nothing to worry about. I mean, mom said we're all in the wheel. I mean let's go talk about it. Blah, blah, blah, but he's just dead set. Oh my goodness, they're doing me wrong.
Speaker 2You know I'm going to be kicked out of the house now.
Speaker 1I'm going to have to sell the house, I'm going to be homeless, I'm not going to be in the will. I'm going to show them and kill everybody. How about this? Kill yourself, as bad as I hate to say that. Do that. Leave everybody else alone.
Speaker 2Why is it their fault?
Speaker 1Right, that's what I don't understand. All these people they go and they shoot up places you know, kill all these people and then, uh, do that to themselves. I don't even know if I can say this on the podcast without getting in trouble yeah, but, yeah, but if you're, I hate to hate for you to do that, but leave everybody else out and just just take care of business on. You know, yeah, it's terrible that's crazy it is crazy. Not only that bad news. I've got some other news. You want to hear this.
Speaker 2Why are you the bad news bears? I've got two more news stories.
Speaker 1I've been holding on to these, I just want to get them out there. Woman loses arm after unprovoked lion attack at a zoo. Let me think about that. A woman lost her arm in a lion attack at the Darling Downs Zoo in Queensland, australia, on Sunday, july 6th, so it was about a month ago. The victim, identified as a sister of the zoo's owner, was observing keepers in the carnivore precinct where the incident occurred, despite being well-versed in safety protocols. A lioness inexplicably say that again, inexplicably, I think I said it worse the second time inexplicably grabbed her arm, causing severe injuries. Emergency services arrived promptly and paramedics airlifted the woman to a nearby hospital where she underwent surgery and later lost her arm. The zoo confirmed that the lioness involved in the attack will not be euthanized or punished, as it remains in its enclosure and poses no threat to the public or staff. Well, apparently it did that day.
Speaker 1The zoo, owned by Steve and Stephanie Robinson, has been a popular attraction for over 20 years. It features rare white lines and all this other stuff, and they're going to do an investigation. But I'll tell you what happened. She got bit and got her arm bit off. I'm sure it was like in just such bad shape they just had to amputate it, right? I mean, the thing didn't rip it off.
Speaker 1But that's my investigation. I'm just reading between the lines. Get it Lines. I should have read this other story first because I had a question about zoos, but let me do this other story, then we'll go back to the zoos. How about that?
Speaker 2I'll forget what you ran.
Speaker 1No, you won't. I'll remind you.
Speaker 2You know how I forget.
Bison Goring at Yellowstone Park
Speaker 1A Florida man gored in a shocking attack at Yellowstone. What is the deal with Yellowstone? Why?
Speaker 2do people think that they have to go get close to these animals?
Speaker 1That's the thing to do, so you can get your selfie. This one just came out, but it's actually an incident that happened in May. So, according to a statement from the National Park Service, a 47-year-old man from Cape Coral, florida, was gored by a bison on May 4th in the Lake Village area of the park. The man reportedly approached the animal, breaching the recommended distance. Emergency personnel treated him at the scene for minor injuries. So if you tell me you're gored and then, a few sentences later, you tell me he's treated for minor injuries, something ain't adding up here.
Speaker 2You don't trust it.
Speaker 1What's it mean when you're gored? My understanding when you're gored is like there is a horn that has entered your body yeah. Like through your ribs or between.
Speaker 2Minor injuries, though, I mean you still could have had.
Speaker 1Minor means yeah, minor like look. It got him in the arm I was riding my skateboard which I don't do and I didn't use the proper safety precautions and I fall off and, man, I tear my knees up and all this kind of stuff, you know, put some ointment on it and bandages Minor injuries. Okay, so let's go back to being. What do we call it? Gored Gored.
Speaker 2All right, so.
Speaker 1Minor injuries. Okay, so let's go back to being what do we call it Gored? Gored, so that's a minor injury, like it entering between my ribs, the puncher in a hole, and that's a minor Okay. Did it say that it said gored.
Speaker 2I know it said gored, but it didn't say where.
Speaker 1No, it did not.
Speaker 2See, so it could have been in the arm and they just had to sew it up, and that's minor.
Speaker 1If you're gored, that's not minor. If the thing head-butted me and knocked me into the weeds and I had some scrapes from some briars, that's minor injuries. Gored to me is not minor. But I digress. Yellowstone officials have long advised visitors to keep a minimum distance of 25 yards from all large animals, including bison, elk and moose, and 100 yards from bears and wolves. Of course I'm staying as far away as I can from bears. These guidelines aren't just suggestions. They're based on decades of wildlife behavior and incident data. Despite appearing calm, bison are wild animals with immense power and territorial instincts. They can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, stand 6 feet tall and sprint at speeds over 30 miles per hour. Now you're telling me a bison. If you said a bison can run 30 miles an hour, I'd have told you you've lost your mind. Around 30 miles an hour, I'd have told you you've lost your mind. If you said 15, maybe 20, I'd agree with you, but 30 sounds like a lot. It's significantly faster than the average human, no doubt.
Speaker 2So there you go.
Speaker 1Why not? Yes, like more than twice as fast. This marks the first bison-related injury reported in the park in 2025. Last year, there was two such incidents, including one involving an 83-year-old woman from South Carolina who sustained serious injuries near Yellowstone Lake. In a separate 2024 case, an intoxicated man there you go allegedly kicked a bison and was later arrested on several charges, including disturbing wildlife. So why is that? Even in there, he didn't do, I mean, the bison didn't do nothing to him, he kicked you know. So I don't get it. I don't get it. I keep seeing these videos of where we've got to get a picture, got to get a selfie. We're backing up, closer and closer to this moose. Basically, a moose man, they will like tear you up, but bison, I don't know what. Do you not understand?
Speaker 2That's the cool thing to do.
Speaker 1What do you not understand?
Speaker 2Just like you like those safari rides where you get in the car and you feed the animals from you'll never. You'll never see me do that never our child was deprived because you wouldn't do.
Speaker 1That's right that's right, and it's just like the videos where you see the person going crazy because there's a cow that's, or a camel, that is that. Well, I said cow because I've seen those two. A camel has stuck its head through the window of the car trying to get the bucket of food that they have and they're screaming like you're going crazy, like you know what. Just how about? Roll your window up before it happened. You know this is gonna happen. You can't tell me you're walking into this. I say walking, driving into this situation, not knowing that there's a chance this might happen. Hey, all four windows are down. I'm surrounded by animals, ostriches, whatever. What's the tall giraffe? A giraffe has leaned down and now it's stuck its head in the window and I'm not.
Speaker 1It's coming for the food you're carrying and I've never seen a video of a giraffe with a three foot tongue and I'm not expecting that to possibly happen when it sticks its head down there. And I've got food in my they want it to happen, till it happens I don't know.
Dangers of Trusting Wild Animals
Speaker 1It's ridiculous. The safari thing just need to go away. The pet and zoos need to go away. All that just let them roam free, look at them from a distance. I don't even know if I agree with zoos. I really don't. I mean, I understand we need to see them, it's good for kids, the school, education, all this kind of stuff. But when I see a small enclosure that's just not big enough for some of these wild animals, I'm like when they do that walk, especially like lions and stuff like that, you see them walk across the front and then turn around and go back and then back and forth.
Speaker 1They're pacing yeah they're pacing back and forth, they have gone crazy because they're locked into this enclosure, exactly what it is. So I I really can't say that I especially the little petting zoos. You get that little stupid bus that you can like, rent, or you go to the mall and now there's a petting zoo. They've got something set up in the parking lot. You go over there and it's like a converted school bus and you can walk down the center of the aisle and on each side of it is small little cages with a pot-bellied pig that can't even make a complete 360 in there, because you know there's no room and it's hot, it's July and there's no fan and all that stuff. And we're supposed to think this is okay. Apparently so, because people pay money and do it, but I don't agree with it. But Do you think this is okay? Apparently so, because people pay money and do it, but I don't agree with it. But anyway.
Speaker 2Got Jody on that soapbox.
Speaker 1I will.
Speaker 2My goodness, why don't you mad about it over there? So this is the question.
Speaker 1Let's go back to the zoo. I mean, even though I didn't.
Speaker 2You don't like the zoos.
Speaker 1You're at the zoo.
Speaker 2What about aquarium?
Speaker 1We've unfortunately paid our money, our hard-earned money, to go to the zoo.
Speaker 2Which is expensive, by the way.
Speaker 1While we're there and I'm griping about being there because I don't agree with all this, and we're looking at all the animals and all this stuff, all of a sudden you see a crazy lady jump over. Yeah, our neighbor, which is known as crazy lady. She jumps over the fence and goes down in the enclosure where the lion's at, and now there's just like a little bitty pit of water between her and the lion and the lion's like growling, or doing whatever they do.
Speaker 1Because she's crazy. My question to you is is is there not a little bit in you that's rooting for the animal, or are you really just like, oh, we've got to help this person. I hope they send somebody to get this crazy person. She jumped in by herself, no reason oh, I'm hitting record on the cell phone and I'm oh, I know you are, and I'm waiting to see what happens I know you are yeah, and I'm not. And I what happens? I know you are yeah.
Speaker 2And I'm not, and I'm not after she's.
Speaker 1I might be like when it happens, when she jumps over the fence, like what is she doing? It's crazy. But once it's all said and done and she's down there because she thought she could get a selfie or pet it, or when it's ripping her arm off or nothing, I have no feelings for her at all.
Speaker 2Man, you're hard.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2You're hard.
Speaker 1So I asked you a question, so how do you feel about it?
Speaker 2Well, I think you're stupid.
Speaker 1Me or the.
Speaker 2If you jumped down there, you didn't fall.
Speaker 1You did not fall. You did not fall. You scaled, you climbed, you jumped, you did whatever it took. You got over there.
Speaker 2Then you're stupid Okay.
Speaker 1But you still want them to be safe. You don't want anything bad to happen to these people. But I'm just saying, if it does, it does Because you put yourself in this position. But how come we keep seeing these stories? You know about two or three times a year. You'll see that you know this person climbed such and such enclosure. I mean, what do you?
Speaker 2expect Were they intoxicated.
Speaker 1I don't know. You think intoxication and drugs play a big part in them doing stuff like that.
Speaker 2Maybe, sometimes probably yeah. I guess, if you're- going to kick a bison at Yellowstone Park? I guess it will. That's the only way you got the nerve to do it. I think you got dared, I think he got dared.
Speaker 1If you're with a bunch of guys, that's the first thing on my mind. That dude got dared to do that. Either that or he said watch this.
Speaker 2What's that saying? Hold my beer, really, exactly.
Speaker 1Yeah, but if it's just like a loose cannon dude, just like nobody yeah it's like you know this is going to be tragic, but I'm going to video it anyway.
Speaker 2Take one for the team, that's right, yeah, you're going to take one for the team I'm going viral tonight.
Speaker 1Let me edit this baby. And I might not be here be edited, this baby and I might not be here.
Speaker 2Let me put a little background music to it and I'm putting it on tiktok, so y'all make sure to play it at my funeral that's right anyway animal stories is the name of this podcast okay and boxing boxing animals boxing animals no, it's, I don't, you know, if you think about it, if somebody does get in some kind of enclosure.
Speaker 1Now I watched a video this morning. I keep getting these videos of these horses, though you know they kick. You know don't get behind the horse, because that thing where I'm kiki, oh, I know they uh, of these animals, especially like a dog that wanders up and starts barking at a horse that's right there and it just kicks and it kills these dogs. You know it hits them in the head and they just drop, just like that. They stiffen up.
Speaker 2Or you're trying to ride one? Yeah, it just sits down because they don't want to.
Speaker 1So we went to Gatlinburg. Where did you go?
Speaker 1Pigeon Forge, that neck of the woods, yeah somewhere, one of the two, yeah, we were going horseback riding and it had these little two ramp things on each side of the horse that you could actually, you know, so you're not standing on the ground, you don't have to put your foot in the stirrup and jump over anybody. Help, you try to, you know get on the saddle. You basically you're almost to their level can just like throw a leg over, sit on it and then go, and it wasn't having it.
Speaker 2Mm-mm.
Speaker 1When you got on it, were you on it for just a little bit, or was it pretty?
Speaker 2No, I was going to get on it and it started throwing a fit.
Speaker 1It did that before you got on it. Uh-huh, okay, you were about to get on it I was about to get on it and then the thing just laid down.
Speaker 2And then it just Dropped. Dropped.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2It wasn't doing nothing.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I don't trust horses.
Speaker 2Why do we ride horses?
Speaker 1I don't know. I mean, what are we thinking? I mean, they're wild like everything else. I did have a friend that rode a horse. We're up in Fayette, matter of fact, we're on this farm and he rode this horse and he's riding along and they had on the edge of the pasture they'd actually had it was asphalt road that went beside it. That horse got on that asphalt and was running and he was standing up in the stirrups and pulling back on the reins as hard. You just saw him. He was pulling, trying to get that horse to stop.
Speaker 1That horse was not stopping they're gonna do what they want to do he finally just dropped off the side because he was afraid you know that horse is gonna slip and slide here in a minute. When he got closer to us and turn and he, he was afraid that that thing was going to fall and be on it and just get, you know, toppled. But anyway, when he went down his hand you talk about road rash on his hand it got ate up.
Speaker 2That's about like people riding bulls. Yeah, why? I don't know that's crazy.
Speaker 1I don't know it's crazy, I don't know.
Speaker 2Why you do that. I don't know Adrenaline.
Speaker 1Oh, when you're done, you're ready to get back on it again because you're so pumped up. But when you're first sitting on one, you're like what am I doing? I'm too far in now, I can't back out.
Speaker 2So you get back up and do it again.
Speaker 1Oh, but, like I said, when it's over you're like, you're so jacked up, you're ready to go. Let's do it again.
Speaker 2Crazy.
Speaker 1It is. But these animals, hmm, why do we trust them? We put a lot of trust in animals, especially horses. I don't understand, but anyway Seems like I've done all the talking.
Speaker 2I like it's the jody show, is it? Yep, this episode's the jody episode. That's how you want it anyway why you say that because you tell me you want the jody show. I have not, you want your own oh, my own podcast yeah this ain't pulled the trigger ever, so you can talk your politics.
Speaker 1And do it and say whatever I want to. Nobody's holding me back.
Speaker 2I don't know what didn't hold back this time. It's like an open floor right here. I mean I ain't holding you back.

Speaker 1Yeah, and it changes pictures on me or the facing, I guess you'd say Because that's what I've had on there.
Speaker 2I was going to say my picture changes every time I have it set like that?
Speaker 1Oh, I don't have it set, I'm just apparently.
Speaker 2My picture will change every time.
Speaker 1Well, it's not on, so I don't know what it's on. It's still nothing. I Nothing. I don't even know why I have an Apple Watch. I mean, I like it at all. I like everything it does, but I just don't do anything that it does. I check the time. That's what I do with it.
Speaker 2I don't use it. I like my watch.
Speaker 1I don't speak into it for it to text. I don't write on it to text. I don't. I've used a flashlight on it just a handful of times because I never think of it.
Speaker 2I use a flashlight almost every night.
Speaker 1On this Mm-hmm. But can you really call it a flashlight? It's just, the screen just lights up really bright and it's not really bright.
Speaker 2It gets me through where I need to go at night.
Speaker 1For a bright screen, yes, but as far to utilize as to walk through a dark house barely.
Speaker 2I walk through the dark house room with it. I'm not saying you can't. Barely, I walked through the dark house room with it.
Speaker 1I'm not saying you can't, I'm just saying it's not a flashlight. It's not like if I turn my flashlight on my phone on. Too totally you put them side by side. It's night and day.
Speaker 2You think so?
Speaker 1I know so. Winston's with us, by the way, he's over here sleeping. He likes it in here. When we come in here and record, or if I come in here and edit or whatever like that, we've got this little couch that is the dog bed kind of, or dog couch, is that what we call?
Speaker 2it. Why are you sitting on it?
Speaker 1I don't know. But so he sits on it. And now I've gotten to where, if I ever walk out of here, if we leave the door open, he'll wander in here and stand at the door like waiting for me to come in. He's like hey, I'm ready to go lay on that couch you got made out for me.
Multitasking Mishaps and Pepsi Blunder
Speaker 2What are you talking about? He just wants you sitting down anywhere so he can lay down with you, but it seems like this room he really enjoys this room.
Speaker 1He's enjoying it right now.
Speaker 2You want to talk about it?
Speaker 1enjoying it right now. You you want to talk about it. We can talk about you and, uh, your ibuprofen that you almost threw up earlier for some reason I don't remember why, because I started thinking of the funny story was gonna talk about I don't think it's funny. It was hilarious. It's just something that happened. If you get to talking to me, that's like. That's why I can't do any like if I'm on the phone. If somebody calls calls me, I get on the phone and the world shuts down.
Speaker 2Yes, I know.
Speaker 1I can't do two. I cannot talk to somebody If somebody's talking to me.
Speaker 2It don't matter talk or not. You can't do two things at one time.
Speaker 1I can do two things at one, but we're strictly.
Speaker 2You cannot. We are talking strictly right now. You cannot cook two things at one time.
Speaker 1Well, that's true okay, thank you. But let's go back to the whole phone thing if I get a phone call and I'm on the phone and I'm holding the phone up to my ear.
Speaker 2You can't drive and talk either, so I slow down okay but I can drive well, I mean, I mean. I do drive, but I just slow down. But your foot comes off the gas.
Speaker 1Right. So if I'm talking to somebody, the phone's up to my ear and I got to walk around. I can't sit still. But you can't walk up to me face to face and say something to me while I'm on the phone, because I cannot. Somebody's I can't, I just can't do it. I might put my hand up and say Hope, just wait till I get off the phone, if I even see you, you know what I'm saying, because I just don't realize that the world is turning or anything's going on. When I'm on the phone, I can't concentrate as well.
Speaker 2Well, you wasn't on the phone when this happened.
Speaker 1I know, but you were talking to me.
Speaker 2So you.
Speaker 1You were an in-depth conversation.
Speaker 2You are an in-depth conversation, so you can't talk and do something else.
Speaker 1Yes, but if you really get me, I don't think we were involved.
Speaker 2I don't think we were.
Speaker 1So I was going to make something to eat. I got a bowl out. I got a yellow bowl and I got it sitting on the bar. 15-year-old bow, is it Probably? Well, it's fine, it still works. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. I go to the refrigerator and I also get a bottle of Pepsi, a two-liter bottle of Pepsi, because I'm going to fix me a drink and I've also got my cup right there. So I opened up my Pepsi right, I took the lid off and the Pepsi's out. There's enough Pepsi in there to maybe fill up half a cup, so there's not much Pepsi. So I've taken the lid off and you're talking to me. And what did you say? You should never have been talking to me. I do not remember what you. What did you say?
Speaker 2I don't know what I was saying, but so you're saying that I can't talk to you while you're doing something else?
Speaker 1No, I'm not saying that I'm not saying that. It's just like you got me really involved in this little conversation for whatever. It's almost like you're getting on to me or something, where I was trying to sell you down about something.
Speaker 2I don't think so. I think.
Speaker 1I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2So then what?
Speaker 1Then I went blank.
Speaker 2You pour your Pepsi in the bowl and not the cup. You're pouring your Pepsi. I thought you already had the food in the bowl actually, though, so that was a good thing that it wasn't in the bowl.
Speaker 1But it wasn't like I just kept pouring it. I got like half of what was left in the Pepsi bottle poured in there, which was fine.
Speaker 2And you just drank it out of the bowl.
Speaker 1Well, because I can't put my food in that bowl now. So I drank the bowl. You know how you drink a cup. I drank a bowl of Pepsi.
Speaker 2It was like he was drinking his milk from his cereal.
Speaker 1I know he put his Pepsi in the bowl? I don't know, it was weird. I don't know. It's weird, I don't know. I do find myself doing odd things like that. Now I catch myself a lot, but I'm always my mind's somewhere else all the time. No matter what I'm doing, it's like my mind's somewhere else.
Speaker 2I think you need to slow down.
Speaker 1I don't know, that's crazy.
Speaker 2It was funny.
Speaker 1That's never you just said.
Speaker 2You do odd things like that all the time. I've never poured pepsi okay in a bowl that I'm about to put food in.
Speaker 1Okay, I have done some odd things or caught myself right before I do and I think, but I'm just saying I've never done that specifically one thing before. Yeah, okay, all right all right, let's get out of here. Let's go on that note. Yep, check us out on YouTube, tiktok. We try and put videos out there when we can.
Speaker 2Jody's slacking.
