Welcome Back After a Long Break
Speaker 1Welcome back this, that and the other. We have been gone for a short minute, actually a long minute.
Speaker 2This has been a month.
Speaker 1It's been a little while. These just haven't worked out. A lot of stuff has gone on since we've been gone. A lot of life has gone on, a lot of news has gone on, all that kind of stuff. But we are back and we are excited to be back.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1Yes, can't you hear it in my voice? I'm excited to be back. I haven't recorded in a long time. You haven't recorded in a long time.
Speaker 2I've been busy.
Speaker 1I'm glad to be back behind the mic. You know, it's actually been kind of nice because I hadn't had to edit anything in the last couple weeks. So yeah, it's been real nice.
Speaker 2I don't like you in that chair on that side.
Speaker 1by the way, I like the chair. You know we've got these leather recliners.
Speaker 2Well, then you need a swap, because you're supposed to be on this side of me. Yeah, it's easier.
Speaker 1I'm not sitting on the couch like I normally do when we record. I am swapped. I'm now to Amanda's right and we're sitting in matching recliner chairs that we got just for the podcast, and then now we're not videoing, so how about that?
Speaker 2which is fine I might take one to the living room no, they're standing here.
Mystery Texts and Phone Scams
Speaker 1They're standing here doubt it. Hey, have you ever got a text from somebody that you didn't recognize? The text?
Speaker 2all but this person acted like they knew who you were all the time, really yes I don't get that here lately it's getting worse and it's stupid scam stuff and it's stupid.
Speaker 1We have a job for you right, but with the scam thing I mean with that they're not acting like they're they know, does it?
Speaker 2yes?
Speaker 1they'll say hey well, I can do that. Then I can punch a random number into my phone and say, hey, and I don't know anything about you and you don't expect me to know, so you answer it.
Speaker 2I did one time and they said I have a job opportunity. I said stop.
Speaker 1Oh, you even text, then Huh, you text yeah. Why would you even reply Uh-huh, you'd text. Yeah, why would you even reply?
Speaker 2Because half the time with my job you don't know if they have my number and I don't have their number in my phone. So sometimes I feel like I need to, because my number is out there for people to have, but I don't have everybody's in my phone. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1So of course I'm going to possibly answer a text that I don't know before I'm going to answer a phone call that I'm getting. Oh, yeah, because if it's a random, I'm not answering. Does anybody answer that?
Speaker 2I don't think anybody, I don't think they do.
Speaker 1Very few people, I would think, would just.
Speaker 2I'm so sick of these numbers calling me so loud when my numbers calling me so like when my dad was alive I never believed that he got so many calls.
Speaker 1He always said he did spam calls, he wasn't lying.
Speaker 2He wouldn't put it that way, he was not lying I think they have my number now because I tell you what I got one the other day and I have been pre-approved for a 96 000 loan how about that? All of these loans and they want me to call them back and let let's get it going and I'm like stop so I haven't applied for anything.
Speaker 2How do you have all my information? And now that I really think about it, this didn't start till I had to start doing stuff with my dad's stuff, and now companies have my number because of stuff that he had. You know what I mean. Like yeah now that I really think about it, hey we're not gonna fool with his number anymore. We're gonna start calling her number, right?
Speaker 1so I'm just like oh so we probably may have told the story before, but trying to get a hold of amanda's dad when he was alive was almost impossible. It was hit or miss, you know, to the point where sometimes we would just have to hey, we're going to ride down to his house just to make sure everything's all right and everything's fine.
Speaker 1He just doesn't. He would not. He knew his phone was ringing, he wouldn't even look at it and wouldn't even attempt to answer it, because he'd always say it's spam. Or did he say spam or just wrong numbers, or he might have said I think he said spam I think he said spam right. So I know we always got aggravated, but now since he's passed and since we have the phone and I look at it like because we keep it charged it just kind of sits on the table.
Speaker 2I will go by there we use it for extra phone.
Speaker 1We do, we do but I mean I haven't used it any this week but I will go by. I'll charge it when it's getting down, but I will go by and I just tap the screen just to see how many missed calls there are. And it'll be 13 or 15, you know, in one day and I'm like well he was right, he was right.
Netflix's "Unknown Number" Documentary
Speaker 1Yeah, it's aggravating no messages, no, nothing. But there will some be some text messages, you know about pre-approved. Or now it's the AT&T sending you a thing about hey, the new iPhone's coming out and with a trade-in, we'll give you $350. And I've got that. I don't know how many times. And now on his phone, I've seen it three times. So, but you know, I've gotten, uh, I've gotten a text from somebody before that I didn't know, and they're acting like what do you need? Or something like that. What does that mean? And then they text again I bet, look, I don't know who this is, or whatever. And then they bet you text man, like no, I didn't. And they said I got a text from your number and I'm like well, I did not text you and is you know, there is cases where people get a text or a phone call from your number, which is crazy. This is leading me into a show we watched on Netflix.
Speaker 2I'm sure everybody has seen it by now.
Speaker 1I don't know if they have or not, but we're going to ruin it for you if you haven.
Speaker 2You hadn't well, if you hadn't seen it, then you need to go watch it what's it called unknown number?
Speaker 1unknown number this would do. You want to give like a little brief introduction on what it's about and then we'll kind of go into.
Speaker 2We won't get a teenage girl keeps getting text. I don't think it's calls at all, I think it was completely text, wasn't it? Yeah, um, from an unknown number about her relationship with her boyfriend, and it just got real violent, real ugly and real.
Speaker 1I don't even know what the word for it is yeah, the, the definitely the text that she was getting basically was making it sound like this person was a female, because she would keep saying, like you know, I'm going to take your boyfriend or he likes me more than you Some of the simple things like that to start off with. But then it started getting a little bit more vulgar until it really got downright sick what this person was sending her. Until it really got downright sick what this person was sending her and then even told her that she should Kill herself.
Speaker 1Yeah, things like that. I'm not saying that on podcast. Well, I was trying to think of it that way, oops, unalive yourself.
Speaker 2That's what.
Speaker 1I was trying to think of unalive, yeah. Just crazy things, and so this went on, for I think it was a total of Two years 18 months Might have been two years, but I do remember at the point 18 months.
Speaker 1But they had tried to pinpoint friend groups at school, like a conversation that only a few people knew about, and then all of a sudden she would get a text that nobody else should know it except those few people. But those few people you check their phone or anything like. It was very confusing. It's like who, who's doing this? They got the school involved, they got the police involved. Nothing was was happening, nothing was being done. So then the boyfriend's getting texts also at this time.
Speaker 2It causes them so his mom and her mom were involved in trying to figure out who it was. Yes, yes, they were real close.
Speaker 1So yeah, so the parents of both of them kind of you know, had gotten together and they were, you know, just trying to figure this out and they just, they just didn't know and they were very frustrated to the point. I know the boy's mom.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, I know the boy's mom had a very hard time.
Speaker 1And they were frustrated with the police because it seemed like the police weren't doing anything or not enough, but they needed the right guy on the case what it ended up being. So they had somebody that kind of specialized in it later on, probably over a year into it, because he started getting things, you know, going.
Speaker 2But is there anything else before I?
Speaker 1I don't think so. So all of this went on. You had the boyfriend and boyfriend. They broke up.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 1Because it just became such a burden that they broke up. Oh yeah, because it just it became such a burden that they broke up. And then the boyfriend is starting to still get texts when he starts to see in another girl, like in another county, and I mean it was just crazy that what was going on? Long story short, why don't you tell us who it was, who they found out it was?
Speaker 2we're gonna going to spoil it.
Speaker 1We're going to spoil it, yeah, so I'm giving everybody five seconds to turn this off if you don't want to be spoiled by it.
Speaker 2You should really watch it, even after we tell you.
Speaker 1It's good. You should watch it. It was a shocker.
Speaker 2It was her mother.
Speaker 1So the whole time the whole time.
Speaker 2I mean, it was really vulgar text, like you don't want your kids hearing this stuff.
Speaker 1it was very, very very sexual at times, very degrading at times. She she talked about how bad her daughter's body was, you know things like that and then also to uhalive herself.
Speaker 2So the mom was telling her daughter, so the mom was telling her that.
Speaker 1Just crazy. Look until you hear these texts, what they say. You have no idea and it's just terrible. But what ends up when they figure out what's going on is so. The mom was in some kind of tech. She's a you know, tech savvy kind of type thing with her job, but during this time she loses her job. She never gets another job, but she.
Speaker 2And the husband don't even know it. The husband don't know she didn't have her job.
Speaker 1Yeah, she's like leaving, like she's going to work.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And all this, and then she's not paying bills. He doesn't know she's not paying bills. They end up going bankrupt. They end up getting a divorce after all this.
Speaker 2But she still tried to, not, you know, she still tried to make it okay.
Speaker 1Oh, she does not realize.
Speaker 2Yeah, that it was yeah.
Speaker 1Oh my goodness it is. It is really unbelievable yeah and I was showing amanda a little while ago that there was a tiktok where the people that were watching the series and their video and the person was watching it and when they were you know coming out with who the person was that did the text and when they said the mom, it was the reactions of these people and it was just so funny because these people were so mad when they found out. Because you can't believe it yeah, you're like who's this like?
Speaker 2you know what?
Speaker 1yeah, you know, because I thought, well, the thing about it was it ruined some of the girl, the girlfriends also yeah, because because they started blaming.
Speaker 1well, it's got to be, say'm going to just make up a name Caitlin, because Caitlin is close with the girl. Caitlin knows a lot of the stuff that's going on. Well, she's the only one that knew this. Well, it's got to be her. Well, they'd check her phone and all this kind of stuff, and it wouldn't be but the mom. She had some kind of program, something installed or something that she could do to where every time that she texts, it's showing up.
Speaker 1It showed up coming from another number so they never could pinpoint and never could get any kind of IP address when it was email or anything like that. So it was very crazy and very unsettling. But the whole she was just living a lie and I don't know what kind of excitement she was getting out of it. But to also do this to the boyfriend, I mean just sick.
Speaker 2Right, it was horrible. I never imagined.
Speaker 1I didn't know where it was going. How many parts was it? It was a series, right yeah?
Speaker 2Or was it just a, I think, but it wasn't many, it wasn't many parts.
Speaker 1Didn't we watch it all? No, we didn't watch it all in one night. We watched it.
Speaker 2No, it took us more than one night.
Jeff's Towing Show Obsession
Speaker 1Yeah, hmm, yeah, but yeah, if you haven't seen it, unknown Number on Netflix. It was pretty good. You know I haven't checked out Netflix here lately I've been that's because all you watch is darn Jeff. Jeff. Hey, let me tell you, I don't know what happened. I know what it was. I know exactly what it was. It was on TikTok this came across on my feed where this towing company in Gatlinburg that tows vehicles, these hotels and parking lot they call this towing company Illegal.
Speaker 1Yeah, they tow, they tow hotels and parking lot. They they call this illegal. Yeah, they, they tow, they tow. They call the towing company which is. They're called. Uh, what, what is it? Everything. Auto.
Speaker 1That's the name of the towing company I can never remember, and it's just like a husband and wife and their son and they, they get the call, they go to these places where it's an illegal part vehicle or it's up in the part of the national park in gatlinburg and they in the forest and they go up there and get these cars, remove them, and then they get phone calls from these people trying to figure out. You know they want their car back and they dog cuss them and you know call them every. I mean it's just, it is very good, it's very entertaining some of these people, I don't even know how they're driving.
Speaker 1They got no sense from where they're parking oh, is it like they're one of them in the middle of the road so if you've ever been to gallenberg and when you go to some of these little nature, trail walks and stuff, you know when you, when you're up there and you get to a popular place and all of a sudden you see cars parked everywhere on the side of the road and all this. Well, some of these people, instead of just going to the next place or whatever, they just decide, hey, I'm going to figure out how I can park. And they just park. And they had a situation where a car had parked to where she'd parked in the road and blocked the road, a side road. There was a medical emergency down that road and the police, the paramedics, could not get down that road. They had actually busted the window out in this car to try and put the car in neutral, to where they could roll it out of the way, and they still couldn't get it in neutral. So they called Everything Auto and had them, gave them a police escort up there to get that car out of the way.
Speaker 1I mean it's just crazy. And then she claims that she was not parked in the middle of the road. Just just very hateful. All these people, people are hateful, you know. And just cuss jeff and the lady. It is crazy, but it is very entertaining, I think.
Speaker 2But I've gotten you into it but you've gotten into it oh, I got when I go shopping.
Speaker 1Now I'm looking, I'm like yeah when you say a car that's like over the line I'm calling jeff. Yeah, having them come get him well I didn't know it was such a problem. But at these, what's nice, the apartment complexes that are up in Gatlinburg.
Speaker 2Where you only got so many parking spots and you've got to have the tag in your car with your number on there.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's got to be either. Some of them have it where it's like a sticker and it's stuck on the inside of your front window. Some of them have it where you know you've got it on your hanging on your rearview mirror, whatever, but it's got to be noticeable. I mean, it's got to be visible. And if it's not, these hotels and these little apartment complexes call them to come down there and tell them hey, move this one, move that, one, move that. And they don't have the you know parking decal, whatever. So he moves them. And oh my goodness, it's just crazy. And I don't know how much it costs Every time, when the only thing about the show that I don't like, yes, is when the people ask them how much it's going to be for them to get their car back. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2They blank out the dollar amount. So we have no idea. Why does I don't understand that that? Why do they have to blank it out.
Speaker 1Well, they don't have to, but they're doing it just, I guess. So everybody didn't know how much they're making off of it. I don't know. I'm not saying they're trying to cheat anybody and they only take cash on illegal parks on a legal park and they said they only take cash.
Speaker 1They said they don't take credit card or debit card anything. If it, or I guess it's just credit card or debit card or anything. I guess it's just credit card, because on credit card they said they can dispute it with a credit card company and then the tow company will not get their money, so it's strictly cash. So all these people none of them have cash, so they always have to find an ATM. They always have to find an Uber or a taxi or a trolley or whatever to get there, because none of them have a vehicle to get their car, especially if they're up in the park. I mean it's crazy. Hey, when you start watching this right here, it puts a new.
Speaker 1I mean that is a situation I don't ever want to be in is to find out how my vehicle got towed and I don't know how many times I may have illegal parked when we've been in Gatlinburg when I started thinking about it because you do when you're trying to get somewhere or be at a restaurant or whatever and there's no parking. You know you're just trying to park wherever you can and not worry about it.
Speaker 2I'm not really looking for tow-away zone signs or anything like that, yeah, but some people park right in front of signs that say do not park here.
Speaker 1Yeah, if it said like, whatever the establishment is, and it says you know parking only, then yeah, if I'm not at that establishment, I'm not going into it, then I know, hey, I better not. But when it comes to like there's nothing and I'm parking like crooked or squeezing in just on the corner or something, yeah, I'm sure I've done that.
Speaker 2Speaking of Ubers, took my second Uber ride this weekend.
Amanda's Arizona Business Trip
Speaker 1So you want to talk about your trip real quick? Yeah, all right. Can you think you can do it in 10 minutes? Totally Okay. I don't want to like cut anything short. Yeah, totally, as long as we don't run an hour just because our time's short this evening.
Speaker 2Totally.
Speaker 1So you went on another trip with your nail business. Yep, you went to Scottsdale.
Speaker 2Arizona Almost missed my flight.
Speaker 1Almost missed her flight.
Speaker 2My connecting flight because we had to Mr Flight. My connecting flight because we had to.
Speaker 1Before you get to that, let's talk about getting up at 2.05 on a Friday morning.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, I think I got up before you did.
Speaker 1Yeah, you got up at 2.05. I got up at 2.10.
Speaker 22.10, okay, 2.10.
Speaker 1So you got up five minutes before I did so congratulations.
Speaker 2I didn't go to bed till midnight either, but I was packed.
Speaker 1Just to wear. Yeah, so we could have you at I was packed? No listen, we were just trying to get you to Huntsville Airport by 4.30 that morning so you could be on your 6.15-ish flight.
Speaker 2Yeah, 6.55.
Speaker 1Oh well, whatever.
Speaker 2I was packed, I didn't have anything to do. I couldn't figure out what nails to wear. So at midnight I'm still in there, 1130. I was still in there trying to figure out which nails I wanted to wear.
Speaker 1Well, sleep is a lot more important to me than trying to figure out nails. I just figured out like just grab a pack or whatever and go.
Speaker 2No, no, no, you had to go.
Speaker 1I had to find something that went with all our outfits all right, so you made it we made it to huntsville and you flew out, and you, you flew to texas, is that right?
Speaker 2is that where your connecting flight was?
Speaker 1all right.
Speaker 2So you said, you almost missed your flight almost missed my flight from dallas to phoenix because the dallas airport was congested so we had to sit on a Friday, we had to sit at Huntsville after we got in the plane for 30 minutes and only had an hour in between my connecting flights which is usually enough time.
Speaker 2But when I got there I had 10 minutes to get to my flight and it was in a different terminal from where I landed, so I had to ride the skyline to um to the next time. So what is the skyline?
Speaker 1is that like a golf cart or is it like a train?
Speaker 2like a train okay, shuttle, yeah, that's probably a better word. You know where you got to get in and hold on because it throws you, because it's going like a subway type thing, yeah kind of thing yeah, yeah. So yeah, I almost missed that sucker so that's made it, that's what like. Now I feel like I can maneuver through the airports whatever. I kind of know a little bit about them now, yeah, because you're an old pro.
Speaker 2But now? So now the thing that bothers me is the connecting, the connecting flights, and what am I going to do if I miss a flight?
Speaker 1Did you bring your passport back, by the way?
Speaker 2Yes, it's in my backpack. We need to get that out yes, you do you know, I only had to show that one time. They never asked me coming back.
Speaker 1They looked at my license and that was all yeah, because you don't need that stupid star id like they that first time I did she said do you, do you have your passport?
Speaker 2and I'm like, yep is Well, when I was coming back through which I thought it would be harder to get through because we were in Phoenix, and so we were told that Phoenix is a lot harder to get through because of the border and stuff and people trying to cross the border, and they didn't even ask for it.
Speaker 2But I felt like we were down in the dungeon, I felt like their airport you were in a dungeon down there or something, because it was like they were doing some work on it and stuff and like you're in a basement I mean, it was basically the basement getting back through customs and all that. So anyway, so we got there and this is called Girls Week, this is conference and um. So it was a day shorter than what it was last year and so it was a little bit more hectic. We didn't have as much time to do stuff, but we was at a nicer resort, but you didn't really have time to enjoy it.
Speaker 2I was impressed by the pictures oh, it was wonderful, um, but you didn't have time to enjoy it, so I'm like I'd rather stay longer yeah, don't put me on a trip somewhere to where I've got to be.
Speaker 1Here at this time, here, at this time, here, I want to enjoy myself, and that, to me, is not enjoyable. Well, this is work.
Speaker 2I mean, this is work, it's conference and you're learning all this stuff. But I think you could throw it. Some girls did go down early and if we had known we would have planned to go down at least a day early.
Speaker 1But that means costing more, so I don't know about that either. So, um, I think, would you rather. Would you rather go down a day early and enjoy yourself, or go or stay a day longer and enjoy yourself. At the end would you rather do a day some girls did stay a day longer too.
Speaker 2But now some of them also rented airbnbs, which which I think was a little bit better. But the only thing about that was so we had conference on Saturday. We had two sessions, nine to 12 and then one to four. So at four we had to go get ready, we had to go get fancied up for dinner and awards at six and we actually had to be down there at five so we could be the first in line so we could get the front table. So it's kind of like black friday. You know how I get.
Speaker 1So y'all are fine to try and get the closest as possible, yeah.
Speaker 2And I think in the first session, I think I ran over somebody and they failed but I kept going.
Speaker 1I heard something, but I just kept going. I never heard you say you didn't. You left that part out. Yeah. Well, I hope they're all right.
Speaker 2People put me in the front because I'm short and I can get under and in pretty good.
Speaker 1Yeah, because you run people over.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, well, I hope they're all right. Small things come in Big things come in small packages, so maybe they're okay. I didn't hear anybody saying they were hurt, so I guess they're okay. So yeah, we had like three outfit changes in one day.
Speaker 1That's just crazy.
Speaker 2We done TikTok videos.
Speaker 1We. So who post? Y'all post each one, I mean on your own separate. Oh yeah, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2Yeah, well, the girls that I roomed with. We did do one, we did more than one, but I think they didn't turn out, but the one. One of the girls posted it yesterday. I didn't show it to you, did I?
Speaker 1Do any of them have an account? That's got thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of followers.
Speaker 2Besides Kristen no, she's the queen. So we had three outfit changes Saturday and at awards night I actually got an award and was so totally surprised. I never thought it. It never even crossed my mind to even like keep up with my sales and stuff, but I sold over twenty thousand dollars in press on nails that's crazy in a year that's crazy that's crazy, that is crazy, that is crazy, that's a crazy.
Speaker 1That's a lot of fingernails.
Speaker 2A lot of plastic. That's a lot of plastic.
Speaker 1So how many individual packs would that be? Good question, good question.
Speaker 2Okay, I didn't mean to ask you math on the spot like that.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know I'm not a math girl. Where do I go for math? The calculator, that's where you go.
Speaker 2No, I don't, I go to you.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2For my math problems.
Speaker 1Well, that's good. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2Yeah, so then I flew back Sunday, but you can always do better.
Speaker 1You know I like those pep talks to where you know it's just never enough.
Speaker 2It's like you did good, but but it's not like that, it's really not like that. And to see my director her face too, because like she didn't keep up with it either because we really wouldn't I don't know, that's just something I hadn't got into keeping up with, but I guess I will now, because if I was that close I'm, you know, I got to beat it this next year. So but to see her face and it's just like my whole table just jumped and cheered when my name was up there. And you just walk up there and get your little award and it's on a piece of Aspen wood. So they cut it out of Aspen wood and they hand paint these circles. That's cool.
Speaker 2Then I flew home. Sunday. Sunday, you flew home. That's cool.
Speaker 1Then I flew home. Sunday, sunday you flew home. So then I had to be at the Huntsville Airport at 1130 at night on a Sunday night, knowing that.
Speaker 2I didn't, but Phoenix. Well, I didn't talk about Phoenix. I never could get the time right because Phoenix was two hours behind what we're used to.
Speaker 1I know you start thinking like well it says I'm landing at this time.
Speaker 2You think?
Speaker 1which time am I talking about?
Speaker 2I totally got my times. I was afraid I was going to be two hours earlier than what I was telling you to pick me up at.
Speaker 1You know, I was waiting on that call or that text saying, oh my goodness, I was totally wrong, you need to leave now.
Speaker 2You know something like that. I mean, it's not like I couldn't sit there and wait, which I was hoping.
Speaker 1Well, I know, but I was so hoping you were going to be wrong and say, yeah, I really need you there at 7 o'clock. I'd be?
Speaker 2yes, I will be there.
Speaker 1Because I was like 11.30,. No, but we both got up and went to work. Well, let's see, we got back at 1.30.
Speaker 21.20, 1.30?
Speaker 1Yeah, well it was right before 1.30 we got back. And I still hadn't unpacked it was a little after 1.30 when we got in the bed, but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2I hadn't totally unpacked. It's getting unpacked this weekend. I can't stand it.
Speaker 1Going to bed at 1.30 and getting up at 3.15. It Wow, that's all I got to say and it really wasn't that bad. I mean once I got up. But even getting up wasn't that bad. It didn't hit me to about 4 or 5 o'clock the next evening. And then when it hit, it hit, but other than that. I mean I was for some odd reason. I was fine all day, but it's all good I did. When you know you're not going to get much sleep, it's one thing to go to bed or unexpectedly don't get enough sleep, but when you've kind of planned and know that you're not going to get that, your mindset's just like oh my goodness hurts.
Speaker 2I need my sleep.
Speaker 1I need my sleep I enjoy sleep, but at least this time I didn't.
Speaker 2It wasn't a flight by um a.
Speaker 1You didn't have a stinky guy.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Did anybody take their shoes and socks off or anything?
Speaker 2No.
Awards, Achievements, and Travel Woes
Speaker 1Nothing like that.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1Nobody's farting, you know.
Speaker 2Not this time. Not this time. No, it was all good. So next year I don't have to go anywhere. This is in Birmingham, alabama.
Speaker 1What's the chances of that?
Speaker 2I don't know Like what hotel and conference center holds 700 people in Birmingham.
Speaker 1Oh, there's plenty. It'll be at the Civic Center. Has small concert halls.
Speaker 2Well, you got to have a hotel because they like to stay right there.
Speaker 1There's a hotel attached to the city right across the road.
Speaker 2Yeah, there's a walkway that goes, yeah, there you're not giving birmingham.
Speaker 1I don't know that you need to give birmingham anything, but I'm saying you're not getting them, giving them enough, because there is stuff there. You know there is things happen in birmingham. There's big deals that happen and you know yeah, so just like the cities, all these between concerts, and then you have like the car shows and all that stuff. These people stay at hotels and they're right there.
Speaker 2I bet you're talking about 700 people just at one time, just for one conference.
Speaker 1Yes, Birmingham's made for that. It can handle it. It's a big city.
Speaker 2It's not as big as all these other cities, but it's big enough, they're coming.
Speaker 1That's what.
Speaker 2I'm saying Get ready, you're going to have to drive me to Birmingham. I mean, they're not coming to our town.
Speaker 1I mean, then you'd have a problem, I don't know, and then you couldn't get a hotel because they'd be like nope, you live within 35 miles.
Speaker 2I'm just going to tell all. You're going to go to the hotel.
Speaker 1Well, that's fine, I can do that.
Speaker 2You like hotels. I do Nope, you'll just have to take me to Birmingham next year.
Speaker 1No, yep, I'm not involved, I'm not going.
Speaker 2Yep, you'll have to take me, because I ain't paying to leave my car there all weekend.
Speaker 1I guess you will Nope. No, you'll just park and then you'll come home and then you'll go back the next day.
Speaker 2That's a negative.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's exactly what you're going to do. No, I'm not. You're staying in a hotel. Yes, you're 45 minutes from Birmingham. You're not staying in a hotel.
Speaker 2The whole fun of it is to stay All right.
Speaker 1we got to cut this short, I got to go.
Speaker 2I'm staying I gotta go where you going.
Speaker 1This is about to be the first fight on the episode. You better be. Look, I've got a whole year to what I was gonna say to convince you, but it's not gonna be convince you, it's gonna be. We got a whole year that we ain't gotta talk about it until it gets closer and then okay, I'm staying, yeah, here nope, okay, I'm staying, yeah, here. Nope, it's pretty easy, pretty simple, nope. You know, I had several things I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 2What.
Speaker 1You know, and maybe we'll talk about them at a later date. I want to talk about like burial at sea.
Speaker 2Why.
Speaker 1Do you ever think about that?
Speaker 2No, because it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1I'm not weird, listen, there are rules. I'm not weird, listen, there are rules. I'm not weird like that. But burial at sea, you can do it. You can be buried at sea, there's rules, but it's not to where you're like, hey, I have to go buy a $1,000 license so I can get somebody to take me out there and bury me. It ain't nothing like that. But there are certain rules and guidelines no-transcript.
Speaker 2Good for them.
Speaker 1I'm just saying.
Speaker 2I'm burying you under the tree out there.
Speaker 1Then I got some questions about clothing that I wanted to talk about. But we can wait.
Speaker 2Next time.
Speaker 1Well, I do want to talk about.
Speaker 2You wrote all that stuff down with that other episode. I mean other thing that you do and I don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 1No, this is the board for just anything we want to talk about, so it can be used for this, that and other.
Speaker 2No.
Speaker 1Because that stuff on there is this, that and other, but we will we're going to talk about. Possibly what I want to talk about is jewelry. What do you think about these college and professional players that wear jewelry, these big old gaudy necklaces and watches and bracelets and all that?
Speaker 2I think they should be allowed. Do you agree? Do you not? No.
Speaker 1Okay, well, I'm not really asking you right now, but that's what you just asked me I just that's the topic that we're going to discuss.
Speaker 2Next time.
Speaker 1All right, yeah, I'm out of here. I got to go feed some fish.
Speaker 2I ain't doing it today.
Speaker 1I'm going to feed fish.
Speaker 2It's all you do.
Speaker 1You know, I would let everybody know that. Check out our live on TikTok. We feed catfish, but by the time this comes out, the fish are only going to be around for a couple more weeks and they go deep.
Speaker 2This will be out Monday, today's just Friday.
Speaker 1I know, but I'm just saying I might have one more week by the time, but a lot of people won't hear this on the first day. It might be a week from then that they listen, but that's what we're going to do, six o'clock most days. I'm going to do a TikTok live and feed some catfish. Amanda's mad at me because I have more people on my fishing lives than she has on her nail lives.
Birmingham Conference and Podcast Wrap-up
Speaker 2Yeah, something's wrong with that algorithm there we're about to have about to have another five something's wrong with that algorithm so the first time I did it I had what?
Speaker 18 700 you dreamed that number up, that is not, you're just mad you dreamed that number, you're just mad, because that's what I had the first time they don't stay but it counts. Not really, not really. I guarantee you. If you had 8,700, you'd be telling me about it, doubt it, and then I'd be saying, but it don't count, it don't count.
Speaker 2They ain't in there, they're just flying by, you're right.
Speaker 1I don't know what is it.
Speaker 2They're doing a flyby.
Speaker 1So they go in and what I'm sure it's got to Like 10 seconds, 15 seconds. I don't think that you enter into the live and then you click right back out real quick.
Speaker 2I don't think that's going to count. No, you're on lives and they're just scrolling.
Speaker 1I didn't think it counted unless they actually went in. Are you sure about that? I don't think that's right.
Speaker 2Because people come in all the time. You see them down there coming in.
Speaker 1When they've joined, and that's by they've tapped on the screen and they've joined.
Speaker 2if I'm just scrolling by, and you can go straight to lives if somebody goes, I know, but I'm not.
Speaker 1But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2I don't have somebody goes straight to lives and they just sit there and scroll lives yes, I know that, amanda, but if I'm just on my TikTok and I'm scrolling through, they don't count Exactly. That's what I'm trying to say this whole time they're on lives and scrolling. They're not staying in there either when they're scrolling. You just haven't listened to the thing.
Speaker 1I've been saying I've explained this at the very beginning oh, my goodness, I gots to go, I go bye. I've got some blood pressure medicine I gotta go take real quick, I'm about to knock you out that's gert winston. Hey, we appreciate you listening. We're sorry. It's only been three or four weeks since we recorded. We'll try and do this two or three times a week from now on excuse me I just want to see if you're paying attention.
Speaker 1No, we're going to be back to once a week, maybe if our schedule, if we don't have conflicts in our schedule. But we've been trying to end this thing for 10 minutes.
Speaker 2Well, say bye, I've got to go soak some catfish food. Catfish eat better than we do now.
Speaker 1You are right. All right, thanks for listening. We'll check you next week.
Speaker 2What the heck was that?
