• hotel policies for locals and the logic behind them
• trade-offs between risk management and real needs
• step-by-step approach to building a nail wall
• simple layout principles for clean display design
• how content shifts across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube

SPEAKER_02 0:16

Welcome back, episode fifty-three. It's me, Jody, and it's Amanda. Amanda. Appreciate you being here. Appreciate you listening. Uh check us out everywhere. TikTok, Facebook, all that stuff. We try and put some stuff out there. Hadn't done it in a while. If you go to our TikTok account, just uh if you see a lot of fish and stuff, that's just because I've kind of taken over the account doing some uh crazy stuff. So that does not mean that's all it'll be, but that's what it looks like.

SPEAKER_01 0:48

He thinks he's just took over.

Can Locals Book Hotels

SPEAKER_02 0:49

So if you scroll through, you'll see the first 10, 15, 20 videos were us doing the podcast, and then now the other ones were catfish videos and cat videos and all that stuff. But um Yeah, a question I just I thought about a minute ago was did we ever find out, you know, why can you not rent a hotel if you live in that same city? If you've got this an address like within so many miles of that hotel. What now? Do you remember like if you were gonna rent a room at a hotel? Okay. When you give your ID if you have a local ID, if your address is like so many miles within that hotel, you can't rent a room. Why is that?

SPEAKER_01 1:36

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:37

I wish you'd leave your microphone. You can't hear it, but I do. It's you're tapping on it and it's kind of noise. Amanda does not wear headphones. I don't like headphones.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

So she I wasn't wearing headphones because we were videoing.

SPEAKER_02 1:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

When we first started podding.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

You really need a I mean, because you can tell a big difference.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

Uh you can't tell a difference.

SPEAKER_02 1:56

Yeah. That way you know if you're getting out of the mic.

SPEAKER_01 1:59

I'm not out of the mic. I am eating the mic.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

I know. Well, you said. But do you not remember us?

SPEAKER_01 2:07

I do, but I don't know where this is going. Yeah, but I can't remember about it.

SPEAKER_02 2:11

You don't know where this is going. Yeah. I just told you, I just thought about it.

SPEAKER_01 2:15

I know, but like I remember it, we've talked about it, but why? Like, where did it come from? Maybe that's where I'm going. Where did it come from?

SPEAKER_02 2:24

The previous time we talked about it?

unknown 2:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

Where did it come from? I don't I don't remember. I didn't know we'd talked about it on the podcast.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

No, I don't think on the podcast, no, no. I think in gener like, why did this come up?

SPEAKER_02 2:37

The original time?

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:39

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

Cause I know we have discussed it.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

Did it have something to do with church? That's what I wonder now. Rent rooms for uh we had some artists, maybe some singers, some bands or whatever coming to the church and we couldn't because of the I don't I don't what sense does that make though?

SPEAKER_01 2:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

Um your money is no good here because you live too close, sorry. Well, if you got a vacant room.

SPEAKER_01 3:05

You can't just rent a room. Uh if you live here, you can't just rent a room.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

So if say my house burned down, I have no family.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

I know that's not right because when my mom stayed with us for a little while, and then she's like, you know, we we were getting her moved into a new house. And remember, she's like, I'm just going to stay in a hotel. And she went and stayed in a hotel. So that can't be right.

SPEAKER_02 3:33

Is this a new thing, maybe?

SPEAKER_01 3:35

I don't know. Because don't you remember that? She I don't. Yeah. She went and stayed in the hotel because she didn't want to stay with us. I don't know why. I don't know. Cause cause we don't let her smoke.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Oh, I think that's what it was.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

She needs to smoke. We don't let her smoke. You gotta go outside. Well, you can't smoke in a hotel, can you? Depends, I guess. Not the rooms that well, yeah, you can.

SPEAKER_02 4:03

Because they have smoking rooms. Is it easier to walk outside at a hotel than it would be to walk outside on the front door?

Age Limits And Booking Rant

SPEAKER_00 4:10

I don't know why she did that, but she did. She wouldn't stay with us.

SPEAKER_02 4:16

Let's see what this is. Yes, you can generally rent a hotel room in your own city, but it depends on the hotel's specific policy. As many have rules against renting to locals due to concerns about uh disturbances, uh illicit activities like parties and prostitution, or to avoid being known as an affair hot spot. However, many hotels will make exceptions for legitimate needs like home renovations emergencies, such as fire, plumbing issues, or uh staycations, especially if you explain your situation directly.

SPEAKER_01 4:53

Heck goes the lights again.

SPEAKER_02 4:54

To the front desk. Yes, the TV switched off for a second and came on and I got scared again. So reasons hotels might refuse preventing unwanted activities, like I said, such as parties, drug use, prostitution, hotels, they restrict locals. Negative perception, hotels don't want to gain a reputation for uh facilitating affairs. Uh, and to uh ensure guest safety and security for all visitors. Well so you're not gonna be as safe as you if you let locals stay there. I look everybody's trying to make money on whatever you do. If I own a hotel or you want to rent a room, I'm renting it to you. I'm not asking you, I'm not giving you the third degree. And why are you renting this?

SPEAKER_01 5:42

Is it any of your business?

SPEAKER_02 5:44

That's what I'm saying. But I guess that's why they're not gonna say it's like a giving to you've got a service, I've got money.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

Even if I live here, I should be able to rent a room.

SPEAKER_02 5:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

Wherever.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

So there's uh yeah, there's definitely all kinds of uh things right here coming up from me typing this in this little box. So I just found that strange. I don't know. I don't know why I thought of that.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

I feel like we've talked about that before, but I don't know. Maybe we've talked about that. But I feel like something came up, like there was a reason we talked about it.

SPEAKER_02 6:18

But I don't You have to be you gotta be a certain age, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:22

You do gotta be a certain age, yes. We know that.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

Is it it's just 21?

SPEAKER_01 6:27

No. Or 24. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

All right, well, explain to me that why you're just not tr trustworthy at twenty-one.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

I don't know. I mean, we let you drink at 20.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

We let you drink, we let you smoke.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

You can go to the water, we let you go to war, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

We let you carry a gun and kill people.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:42

But by golly, we're not gonna let you rent this single room hotel for$119 a night. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

I guess not. Oh, there's Jody's ramp for today.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Yeah, I had to have some Pepsi to cool.

Weekend DIY Nail Wall

SPEAKER_01 6:58

All right, so I don't know if I ever told you um thank you for my project this weekend. This past weekend.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

That's right. You know, that's something definitely you could talk about, you know, and that's something we need to post. Uh I need to pull up. We did a uh, I'll let you know the video we took a video of the project that she's about to tell you about, and uh I did like a time-lapse thing to where it was like an hour and a half long video to where it's gonna be from start to finish. That it it really got put together really fast.

SPEAKER_01 7:33

That's what like I've been talking about it, and nobody can believe that it didn't take longer than an hour and a half to do.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Right. So go ahead and uh explain what you wanted, what your idea was or where you saw it at, and then you can go from there. Well and I'll try not to butt in when you mess up scene.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

So if you've if you've been here since last year, then you know I'm in the nail business. Um so at what's called the tree house, that's where like the main happening goes on with red aspen nails.

SPEAKER_02 8:08

If you start talking about nails, I'm gonna go over and just take a nap. Just wake me up when you're not.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

Um so the tree house has what's called a nail wall, where they have just put nails, fingernails. That sounds weird. Packs of press on nails, let's say it that way. I don't like fingernails. Um press on nails, they've put the boxes, the packages, like on the wall. So it's called a nail wall. And several ambassadors have made nail walls at home, and I've been wanting, been wanting, been wanting one, and um so we finally done it this weekend, and I love it. So I had the fake grass greenery type stuff behind me for my uh backdrop, which was harder for me to install. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:07

And then because we put uh we had lights. You ran lights. We ran lights all through it, and then you had two little neon signs that we put on there.

SPEAKER_01 9:15

Now I would like to put the neon signs back up.

SPEAKER_02 9:17

I'm sure you do.

SPEAKER_01 9:18

I think that would be good, look good at the top of the nail wall. Yeah. One of my uh red aspen friends, she done one, and so I sent her, I said, How did you do it? And she told me and she sent a video of it, and I showed Jody, and he's like, Okay, this is what we gonna do. And he made it happen. I love it now. Like when I go in that room, I just I don't know, I just love it.

SPEAKER_02 9:45

So all we did was we've got it's an eight-foot piece and that's like one inch when I go live now. Yeah. It's like quarter inch by one inch pieces of wood.

SPEAKER_01 10:00

Is it molding?

SPEAKER_02 10:01

Yeah, you could say you could say that. But it's already painted white. A little bit more expensive than we wanted to spend. I was hoping that we could get in there under like 40 bucks.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

That was my thought. And I almost I didn't really want to go over fifty because I mean, really, why? You know, I mean, that was good enough, I thought. But nothing we found. Oh, so when I was talking about it, somebody said they were gonna use something bored. Um, I said I was gonna remember this.

SPEAKER_02 10:38

Well, I can go ahead and explain it.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 10:42

So so basically you you we put one one piece, you know, horizontal.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 10:48

Say a little bit, I get what, thigh high, maybe on the wall.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Oh, and I have thought that we can go another row below the way it shows in my videos. Right. I could go ahead and do one more below. And like nobody can believe how big it is. The piece of wood we got was perfect. Like we didn't I it could have been smaller, but then we would have to cut the wood, we'd have to paint the end of it, and we lifted the length that it was and it fit perfect where I wanted it.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

Yeah, I made a shelf for you and we butted this up against that shelf and it extended all the way down right to where a light switch, like half an inch.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

Yeah, right to the light switch.

SPEAKER_02 11:31

So we just thought that's that was just so yeah, you put one, we put like thigh high, maybe, you know, horizontal across. And then these nail packages, if you think about a deck of cards, what a deck of cards come in, that's kind of the same stuff. Yeah, a little bit longer, but yeah. Yeah. So you're just sitting, they sit perfect on top of that board. Then you put another, you know, board on top of it, nail it in, and do the same thing. And in no time, and then Amanda, you know, it's like a a nail gun. It's a a Brad nailer, is what you call it.

SPEAKER_01 12:06

Okay, so Amanda I kept telling people a an air nail gun. I didn't know what it was called.

How We Built It Fast

SPEAKER_02 12:13

Yeah, because it's you got an air compressor. Yeah, so I mean that's why I thought it was an electric nail gun.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

I don't know. Well, it's not electric, is it? Well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 12:22

It runs off air. I mean, you use electricity.

SPEAKER_01 12:25

I was trying to I was trying to explain this to women. So I mean, I didn't know.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

So I guess briefly, I guess that was probably the hardest part was dragging that stuff down into that room. And then we'd put down that. But that wasn't hard. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_01 12:40

Yeah. And then and then when we finally figured out, when I said, Can I nail it? And then you're like, Oh yeah, you do that, and I can do this, and it like went a lot faster.

SPEAKER_02 12:52

Yeah, because we if we'd have done that. We put one board, it was nailed, we put a few packs of nails on top of that one, set a board on top of it, made sure that she could pull the nail in and out, yeah, either package easily.

SPEAKER_01 13:07

Yeah, because they go in and out easy. Like everybody wants to know how making them stay up there. And I'm like, it I got they just the tension well the I got you, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:19

So anyway, so you we put a pack, you put the nails on there, the packs of nails, just a few, two or three, put the board on top of it, make sure that it's nice and cozy and not real tight or anything like that. Then put a level on top of it just to make sure we're staying level the whole time. And so I was doing all that and she was just helping hold the board. So then when she started using the Brad nailer and actually doing the nailing, it freed me up to where I just kind of work in in front of her and she's coming down the line just k- you know, going. And so we had how many is it, nine shelves you could call it?

SPEAKER_00 13:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:58

Yeah, we uh did that, and then we threw nails on there. I mean, I was like bam, bam, bam, throwing it on there, and then done.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

And like me, I was over here trying to make a pattern with it, and then Jody's just throwing them up there, and and so I actually liked his idea better because I was gonna try to pattern it.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

No, you just randomly put it all up there and have the colors, just try and keep don't have colors the same side by side, just mix it all up and I was putting colors side by side.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

Because the ones I have saw, they do that. They go from like a dark to a light color, you know, like away. Um, and I liked it like that. But then now seeing the way it is now, I like it like that.

SPEAKER_02 14:43

Yeah, so now your backdrop is when you do videos as well.

Sharing Pics And Going Live

SPEAKER_01 14:46

Yeah, when I do lives on TikTok, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:49

So we'll what what we'll do is I'll get Amanda to get her video or some pictures and we'll put it on Instagram. You can do that. We put it on our the Instagram account so you can see it.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

So it is it's pretty neat.

SPEAKER_02 15:02

If you follow me, it's already been on Instagram, but Yeah, but if you go to this, that, and other podcast on Instagram, we'll have it on there.

SPEAKER_01 15:11

Or if you're interested in press on nails, comment below.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

Yeah. By the way, and I mean to do this every time, but you can text the show. There should be an uh on the uh homepage or whatever when you go to Spotify, Apple Podcast, wherever it is, it should say on there text the show. You click on that and then text a comment, a suggestion, anything like that. That'd be easy peasy. Yeah. Send us questions. That's a neat uh option.

The Phantom Traffic Jam Study

SPEAKER_01 15:39

I'd I'd like to take viewer questions. Yeah. Viewer. I guess you're not a viewer, a listener, my bad. Listener questions.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

I tell you what, if uh if you listen to this, if you would do us a favor and go to YouTube and follow us, once we get enough followers, we'll start doing it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

You don't have to have many, because I can already do lives over there. You only have to have 50.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Oh really?

SPEAKER_01 16:07

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_02 16:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:09

I think it's just fifty.

SPEAKER_02 16:10

So Well, I don't think we're there.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

Are we not?

SPEAKER_02 16:13

No, because I don't ever put anything on. I don't think. I don't know if I don't know the last time I've been on that thing. But I'm just saying if we had if we got it, we'll start doing lives.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

That would be fun. I think that would be fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:24

We'll definitely follow us on TikTok.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

We can do them there.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

Yeah. Um Well see, I don't know, because on the TikTok now I've got all these people that want to see fishing stuff.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

I think they'll hang.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

You'll get people. They'll they'll all just start dropping.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

Oh, they won't. You'll get people. All right. What else you got? You got a story today? I do.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

I do. I just gotta look it up. I gotta find one.

SPEAKER_01 16:48

You're supposed to be ready. I got it. It's right here. You got it? Oh. You lost it. There it is. There it is. Okay, here we go. All right. So if you listen to This is Jody's TED Talk.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

Yeah. If you listen to our last episode, which was episode 52, because this one's 53. Um, we talked about I was gonna do a uh story on a study of cars driving in a circle just to see what would happen. What do you think would happen? All right, this is how many cars? All right, we got twenty-two cars. They're gonna be going, I think it's I'm not looking at my notes yet. I think it's eighteen like point six miles an hour. That's their speed, and they're just gonna do a circle. Just a constant circle.

SPEAKER_01 17:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

To see human reaction, how what's gonna happen? Are we all gonna be going 18.6 miles an hour and be hunky dory, never have to hit the brakes? I'm ten feet behind the person in front of me. We're just doing the circle, everything's fine. Well, I'm getting tired of doing this. I'll be glad when it's over with, and then when they say stop, and we stop. Is that what we think's gonna happen? Sounds good. But it sounds like it should, right?

SPEAKER_01 17:55

Yeah, but I don't think that's how it works.

SPEAKER_02 17:57

But you don't think that's how it works?

SPEAKER_01 17:58

I don't think so. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

All right, so uh a famous 2008 Japanese study demonstrated that cars driving driving in a circle will get jammed up into a phantom traffic jam due to driver reaction times, even without obstacles, showing how small variations amplify into slowdowns that move backwards like a wave. This happens because one driver slightly breaks uh breaking, slightly breaking causes the next to break harder, creating a cascading effect uh proving congestion streams excuse me. No, let me start over. Proving congestion stems from human behavior and traffic density, not just external causes like accidents. So basically they're they're saying it's not outside forces that are causing traffic jams, it's actual the person driving the car. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 19:04

I feel you.

Teasing The Rat Utopia Story

SPEAKER_02 19:06

All right. So here's the set of researchers placed 22 cars on a circular track and instructed drivers to maintain a constant speed of thirty kilometers, which is roughly eighteen point six miles, but we'll say nine. That's weird miles per hour. I think that's right. Let me see if I can read my notes in the dark. 18.6 miles per hour, that's right. All right. Uh initial flow traffic moves slowly at first. Then the jam. Small differences in speed or braking, even just a tap on the brakes caused cars to bunch up. Next was the shock wave. This slowdown propagated backwards through the line of cars as a wave, even as the cars at the front escaped the jam. Uh their key findings was the jam moved backwards at about 20 kilometers, matching real world observations and prove that congestion can emerge spontaneously from driver interactions. So, what it's saying is that it just because you think that we can maintain that steady speed, and but it's not, it's that one person that barely tapped their brakes because they were getting a little bit too close. The next one has to adjust and do the same thing, the next car behind them do the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

Is that not common sense though? We really had to do a study on that.

SPEAKER_02 20:27

But look, and then it finally works its way back around to the cars that were in the front that never affected them, and so now you've actually got a lot of people.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Do we not see that on the racetrack? Kind of.

SPEAKER_02 20:38

Well, I think well, I mean, yeah, well, that causes wrecks when you watch the but they're just trying to it's different with them because they're trying to get in front of one another. So they're not trying to can uh keep the constant speed of their neighbor, whether whoever's in front of them or behind them, they're like, You're going to speed, I want to go faster. Okay. I'm trying to slingshot around you, you know, all that stuff. So but yeah, I see what you're trying to say. But I thought that was interesting because if you think about it, it's like, all right. You know, this could go with uh like say bicycles too, if you had the biker boys out there, you know, doing the circle riding bikes. You love bicyclers, by the way. Oh my goodness. You know, it would somebody once that one guy tap their brakes a little bit, yeah, it's gonna be just a a a chain reaction. So yeah. You would think they could just constantly move at the same speed and be fine.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

But one little hiccup, one little second.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

Yeah, and saying that messes it all up because bam, they everybody's slowing down, slowing down, slowing down, and then now you're trying to speed up to get caught by the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

So I really don't see what the study was when we see this and other things.

SPEAKER_02 21:47

They're just showing that it's human error error and there's no outside source like a wreck. Like if two cars wreck and then that's what's slowing everybody down. No, it's just humans being humans.

SPEAKER_00 21:57

Gotcha.

unknown 21:59

I think.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

Because well it'd be different if you could if you could set your speed.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

Cruise control.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

Like a cruise control. That'd be a little bit different.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Well, I mean you can't you can't keep your foot right there in the same place for the same for a long time.

SPEAKER_02 22:16

I know different if you're like if you're uh they have to put it on cruise control. Look, if you're on ten and two and you're doing everything and you're constantly like I'm trying to say the exact same distance away from the car. Yeah, there's you know, you're speeding up, you're slowing a little bit, you're speeding your slow and you know, just because you're trying to yeah, but then he taps his brakes. Once he taps his brakes, you're it's over. It's over for you because you're tapping your brakes. Yep. And it's over. I just thought that was neat. That's a neat little study.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

Neat little study. Juddy likes his little studies.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

I do like these little studies. When did we talk about the rats? I did one episode about the rat experiment. Like a utopia or rats. Can we do that on the next episode?

SPEAKER_01 23:01

On the next episode, you can talk about your rats. Yeah, I'll write it down.

SPEAKER_02 23:05

Yeah, I will give you a rats.

SPEAKER_01 23:06

And I'll let you have the whole twenty minutes.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

I'll give you a heads up. Yeah, it'll it won't take that long. Oh it uh just the heads up part of it is basically they did a study of of mice or rats, I don't know w which one it was, we'll say mice. We're given like a utopia. They were given enough food to survive, they were given shelter to survive, they were given water to survive, and they had they were, you know, kept in this container like thing. And they just after a while, it's like it just was it just got chaotic, put it that way. They just couldn't live together anymore. It got weird. So that also proved the thing that, you know, in a perfect world, you still it's not gonna be perfect. That's what they found out. You know, you had everything you needed to survive, and then uh it is really it's very interesting because it gets the psychological part about it, how some of these rats, and I hate to go in, I want to talk about it so bad.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

Not today.

SPEAKER_02 24:08

But but it talks about how uh I'll let you have all the floor next. Some of them, like the juvenile, like some of them started eating each other, like the the male rats would eat the juveniles because they felt threatened. Others were feeling about to go dark. Yeah. Others felt isolated and separated themselves from the crowd. I mean it was it was very neat. So Oh, I want to talk about it so badly.

SPEAKER_01 24:35
