Welcome back this, that and the other. We have been gone for a short minute, actually a long minute.
Speaker 2:This has been a month.
Speaker 1:It'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 2:Really.
Speaker 1:Yes, 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 2:I've been busy.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:I don't like you in that chair on that side.
Speaker 1:by the way, I like the chair. You know we've got these leather recliners.
Speaker 2:Well, then you need a swap, because you're supposed to be on this side of me. Yeah, it's easier.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:which is fine I might take one to the living room no, they're standing here.
Speaker 1:They're standing here doubt it. Hey, have you ever got a text from somebody that you didn't recognize? The text?
Speaker 2:all 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 1:We 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 2:yes?
Speaker 1:they'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 2:I did one time and they said I have a job opportunity. I said stop.
Speaker 1:Oh, 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 2:Because 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 1:So 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 2:I don't think anybody, I don't think they do.
Speaker 1:Very few people, I would think, would just.
Speaker 2:I'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 1:He always said he did spam calls, he wasn't lying.
Speaker 2:He 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 2:How 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 1:so 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 1:He 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 2:I will go by there we use it for extra phone.
Speaker 1:We 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.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:I'm sure everybody has seen it by now.
Speaker 1:I don't know if they have or not, but we're going to ruin it for you if you haven.
Speaker 2:You hadn't well, if you hadn't seen it, then you need to go watch it what's it called unknown number?
Speaker 1:unknown 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 2:We 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 1:I 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 1:Yeah, things like that. I'm not saying that on podcast. Well, I was trying to think of it that way, oops, unalive yourself.
Speaker 2:That's what.
Speaker 1:I 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 1:But 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 2:It 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 1:So 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 2:Oh yeah, I know the boy's mom had a very hard time.
Speaker 1:And 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 2:But is there anything else before I?
Speaker 1:I don't think so. So all of this went on. You had the boyfriend and boyfriend. They broke up.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Because 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 2:we're gonna going to spoil it.
Speaker 1:We'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 2:You should really watch it, even after we tell you.
Speaker 1:It's good. You should watch it. It was a shocker.
Speaker 2:It was her mother.
Speaker 1:So the whole time the whole time.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was really vulgar text, like you don't want your kids hearing this stuff.
Speaker 1:it 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 2:So the mom was telling her daughter, so the mom was telling her that.
Speaker 1:Just 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 2:And the husband don't even know it. The husband don't know she didn't have her job.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's like leaving, like she's going to work.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And 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 2:But she still tried to, not, you know, she still tried to make it okay.
Speaker 1:Oh, she does not realize.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that it was yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh 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 2:you know what?
Speaker 1:yeah, 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 1:well, 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 1:It 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 2:Right, it was horrible. I never imagined.
Speaker 1:I didn't know where it was going. How many parts was it? It was a series, right yeah?
Speaker 2:Or was it just a, I think, but it wasn't many, it wasn't many parts.
Speaker 1:Didn't we watch it all? No, we didn't watch it all in one night. We watched it.
Speaker 2:No, it took us more than one night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah, 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 1:That'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 1:They 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 1:I 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 2:But I've gotten you into it but you've gotten into it oh, I got when I go shopping.
Speaker 1:Now 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 2:Where you only got so many parking spots and you've got to have the tag in your car with your number on there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:They 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 1:Well, 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 1:They 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 1:I 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 2:I'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 1:Yeah, 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 2:Speaking of Ubers, took my second Uber ride this weekend.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:Totally.
Speaker 1:So you went on another trip with your nail business. Yep, you went to Scottsdale.
Speaker 2:Arizona Almost missed my flight.
Speaker 1:Almost missed her flight.
Speaker 2:My connecting flight because we had to Mr Flight. My connecting flight because we had to.
Speaker 1:Before you get to that, let's talk about getting up at 2.05 on a Friday morning.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I think I got up before you did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got up at 2.05. I got up at 2.10.
Speaker 2:2.10, okay, 2.10.
Speaker 1:So you got up five minutes before I did so congratulations.
Speaker 2:I didn't go to bed till midnight either, but I was packed.
Speaker 1:Just 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 2:Yeah, 6.55.
Speaker 1:Oh well, whatever.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:Well, 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 2:No, no, no, you had to go.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:is that where your connecting flight was?
Speaker 1:all right.
Speaker 2:So 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 2:But 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 1:is that like a golf cart or is it like a train?
Speaker 2:like 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 2:But 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 1:Did you bring your passport back, by the way?
Speaker 2:Yes, 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 1:They 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 2:and 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 2:But 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 2:I 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 1:Here 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 2:I 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 1:But 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 2:But 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 1:So y'all are fine to try and get the closest as possible, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I think in the first session, I think I ran over somebody and they failed but I kept going.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:People put me in the front because I'm short and I can get under and in pretty good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you run people over.
Speaker 2:Well, 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 1:That's just crazy.
Speaker 2:We done TikTok videos.
Speaker 1:We. So who post? Y'all post each one, I mean on your own separate. Oh yeah, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:Do any of them have an account? That's got thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of followers.
Speaker 2:Besides 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 1:That's a lot of fingernails.
Speaker 2:A lot of plastic. That's a lot of plastic.
Speaker 1:So how many individual packs would that be? Good question, good question.
Speaker 2:Okay, I didn't mean to ask you math on the spot like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know I'm not a math girl. Where do I go for math? The calculator, that's where you go.
Speaker 2:No, I don't, I go to you.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:For my math problems.
Speaker 1:Well, that's good. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so then I flew back Sunday, but you can always do better.
Speaker 1:You know I like those pep talks to where you know it's just never enough.
Speaker 2:It'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 2:Then I flew home. Sunday. Sunday, you flew home. That's cool.
Speaker 1:Then 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 2:I 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 1:I know you start thinking like well it says I'm landing at this time.
Speaker 2:You think?
Speaker 1:which time am I talking about?
Speaker 2:I 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 1:You know, I was waiting on that call or that text saying, oh my goodness, I was totally wrong, you need to leave now.
Speaker 2:You know something like that. I mean, it's not like I couldn't sit there and wait, which I was hoping.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:yes, I will be there.
Speaker 1:Because 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 2:1.20, 1.30?
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:I hadn't totally unpacked. It's getting unpacked this weekend. I can't stand it.
Speaker 1:Going 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 2:I need my sleep.
Speaker 1:I need my sleep I enjoy sleep, but at least this time I didn't.
Speaker 2:It wasn't a flight by um a.
Speaker 1:You didn't have a stinky guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Did anybody take their shoes and socks off or anything?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Nothing like that.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Nobody's farting, you know.
Speaker 2:Not 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 1:What's the chances of that?
Speaker 2:I don't know Like what hotel and conference center holds 700 people in Birmingham.
Speaker 1:Oh, there's plenty. It'll be at the Civic Center. Has small concert halls.
Speaker 2:Well, you got to have a hotel because they like to stay right there.
Speaker 1:There's a hotel attached to the city right across the road.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a walkway that goes, yeah, there you're not giving birmingham.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I bet you're talking about 700 people just at one time, just for one conference.
Speaker 1:Yes, Birmingham's made for that. It can handle it. It's a big city.
Speaker 2:It's not as big as all these other cities, but it's big enough, they're coming.
Speaker 1:That's what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying Get ready, you're going to have to drive me to Birmingham. I mean, they're not coming to our town.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I'm just going to tell all. You're going to go to the hotel.
Speaker 1:Well, that's fine, I can do that.
Speaker 2:You like hotels. I do Nope, you'll just have to take me to Birmingham next year.
Speaker 1:No, yep, I'm not involved, I'm not going.
Speaker 2:Yep, you'll have to take me, because I ain't paying to leave my car there all weekend.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:That's a negative.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:The whole fun of it is to stay All right.
Speaker 1:we got to cut this short, I got to go.
Speaker 2:I'm staying I gotta go where you going.
Speaker 1:This 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 2:What.
Speaker 1:You know, and maybe we'll talk about them at a later date. I want to talk about like burial at sea.
Speaker 2:Why.
Speaker 1:Do you ever think about that?
Speaker 2:No, because it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1:I'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 2:Good for them.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying.
Speaker 2:I'm burying you under the tree out there.
Speaker 1:Then I got some questions about clothing that I wanted to talk about. But we can wait.
Speaker 2:Next time.
Speaker 1:Well, I do want to talk about.
Speaker 2:You 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 1:No, this is the board for just anything we want to talk about, so it can be used for this, that and other.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Because 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 2:I think they should be allowed. Do you agree? Do you not? No.
Speaker 1:Okay, 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 2:Next time.
Speaker 1:All right, yeah, I'm out of here. I got to go feed some fish.
Speaker 2:I ain't doing it today.
Speaker 1:I'm going to feed fish.
Speaker 2:It's all you do.
Speaker 1:You 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 2:This will be out Monday, today's just Friday.
Speaker 1:I 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.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:8 700 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 2:They ain't in there, they're just flying by, you're right.
Speaker 1:I don't know what is it.
Speaker 2:They're doing a flyby.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:I don't think that's going to count. No, you're on lives and they're just scrolling.
Speaker 1:I didn't think it counted unless they actually went in. Are you sure about that? I don't think that's right.
Speaker 2:Because people come in all the time. You see them down there coming in.
Speaker 1:When they've joined, and that's by they've tapped on the screen and they've joined.
Speaker 2:if I'm just scrolling by, and you can go straight to lives if somebody goes, I know, but I'm not.
Speaker 1:But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:I'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 1:No, 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 2:Well, say bye, I've got to go soak some catfish food. Catfish eat better than we do now.
Speaker 1:You are right. All right, thanks for listening. We'll check you next week.
Speaker 2:What the heck was that?
