Welcome to hey Real Quick with Amy and Marty. So it is January and it's cold outside. It's cold outside and they're calling for snow. Looks like 90-something percent chance on Friday here in Nashville.

Speaker 2 0:38

Well, our boys were out yesterday, which was Tuesday.

Speaker 2 0:52

So yeah, but this Friday is supposed to be snowmageddon, like three to five inches.

Speaker 1 0:57

Yeah, which is our snowmageddon, which either means there'll be a half inch dusting Right or there will be six to eight inches yeah, oh, and it's gonna be three or five. Everybody's shrubs will die, like last year, which I really hope that our um ginkgo tree doesn't die. We're on like trial. Number three tried to plant a ginkgo in the front of our oh my, my dogwood's gonna die it.

Speaker 1 1:22

It's our second one, oh my gosh, we are old, but anyway, I'm worried about my little trees. But so you know what that means. Get thee to the grocery store a Sabbath because you're going to need milk and bread. But I don't need milk or bread because I don't eat dairy or gluten or milk sandwiches. So you know, I'm going to go pick up some gluten-free bread and soup fixings and popcorn, I don't know.

Speaker 2 1:54

Oh, popcorn is good for snow days, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 1:56

Yeah, I got to have the popcorn, but.

Speaker 2 2:01

Our boys. Our boys are at prime play in the snow age because they're 15 and 12.

Speaker 1 2:08

Oh yeah, get the dryer ready, because that's all you're doing, you're just drying clothes. They come in and just put it in the dryer drying rack, whatever wet. Do you have the snow gear? Do they have like snow pants?

Speaker 2 2:20

Yeah, they do. Yeah, they actually got snow gear, which is nice yeah. But all right First they actually got snow gear, which is nice, yeah, but all right. First of all, the snow days when I grew up or we grew up first of all, we didn't get a lot of snow.

Speaker 1 2:33

No.

Speaker 2 2:34

And we also didn't get emails, phone calls telling us that the schools were shut down. You had to wake up.

Speaker 1 2:42

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:43

Turn on the TV.

Speaker 1 2:44

Yeah.

Speaker 2 2:45

And wait for the ticker at the bottom.

Speaker 1 2:47

At the bottom.

Speaker 2 2:48

It'd always be just past because it's alphabetical.

Speaker 1 2:52

Oh yeah, it's always just past your. We were Jefferson County, yeah.

Speaker 2 2:54

Yeah, so it'd be on like M or something. Sorry, I was doing the alphabet in my head.

Speaker 1 3:01

And you have to go back around. Yeah, but it was. You didn't really know, and you'd be like did I read that? Right, right, is it closed? I don't know, yeah.

Speaker 2 3:11

I might just miss the test, I know, yeah. Yeah, but now we get, phones start buzzing.

Speaker 1 3:18

Oh yeah, Channel 4, Snowbird. There's a whole mascot for just snow days. Think about that. There's a remember that channel four, channel four, I think it's channel four, gosh, I hope I got this right. Channel four snowbird, the snowbird report, and like he like dresses up and goes to schools and stuff it's a mascot with a head and the whole body and the whole thing in nashville yes, man I have never seen the snowbird. Snowbird, yeah, google it.

Speaker 2 3:46

He goes to schools.

Speaker 1 3:48

Well, I don't know if he goes to schools, but he's, he's not. Like there's a mascot, the snowbird I've seen. Yeah, okay, it's real, y'all can Google it, but anyway, channel 4, nashville, wpln no, that's public radio, I don't know. Wkrn no.

Speaker 2 4:08

W Snowbird.

Speaker 1 4:09

WSMV. Okay, yeah, I should be in TV Anyway.

Speaker 2 4:14

What's up with the W's? Sorry, let's break that down. Why is it all W? I don't know.

Speaker 1 4:20

Okay, but yeah. But now they get a little hyper because I feel like they build everybody up and the complaint around here. I don't know if it's in your town where you are, but especially in the south they'll, because are in Nashville. The school district is huge if you go to public schools here, so it's like there's ice anywhere. They're going to call the whole district and like it. You know makes parents crazy, especially when it doesn't really snow yeah you know.

Speaker 1 4:50

But I get it bus drivers the whole thing. But then when they do miss it you're like dog gone. It was six to seven inches. I almost lost my dog. You know that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 5:01

Yeah, well, it gets, and I feel like we always get snow, but then we'll get those little ice pellets.

Speaker 1 5:12

And then it all freezes on top.

Speaker 2 5:13

It like freezes on top of the snow and then you walk outside and it's just like oh yeah, there's no give.

Speaker 1 5:21

It's like, be careful, you're going to break a hip.

Speaker 2 5:23

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. No, I love no school. Let's watch some movies, y'all play some. Playstation. Let's just chill.

Speaker 1 5:31

Yeah, everybody stay home, but.

Speaker 2 5:34

I do yeah.

Speaker 1 5:35

Then that like second day or third day, when people kind of waiting for it to melt, you're like I think it's fine, you know, because people say, man, they're wimps in the South.

Speaker 2 5:47

Well, we don't have 78 salt trucks, people and a plow and we got hills. Have you seen hills in the middle of America?

Speaker 1 5:51

You drive on the ice with just a set of discount tire tires which shout out to discount tires. It's not bad, it's not judging their tires, but nobody has chains, nobody has snow tires.

Speaker 2 6:09

You always get that one guy in a four by four. It's like I'm going to the grocery store, you need anything? Yeah, y'all ain't got no lookout mountain in ohio stop it. Little windy roads, yeah, you do it. I'm scared, yeah, driving up that mess in the sunshine 70 degrees. I'm like we're gonna fall, but um car is gonna fall back, yeah so.

Speaker 1 6:24

But if you have little kids, like when I was a young mom I'm an old mom now, but when I was a young mom and some hot chocolate, they would go through that. It's just a cycle of I'm going back outside, okay, put your gloves on. Well, they're wet. Well, go find your other ones. Well, there's only one. And then back in the day.

Speaker 2 6:46

Oh, we just wore tennis shoes.

Speaker 1 6:47

I just said tennies, Well that's what we called them was tennis shoes. There was no tennis shoes.

Speaker 2 6:54

No, it was, it was tennis shoes. Are those little?

Speaker 1 6:57

bitty, you got some tennis shoes.

Speaker 2 7:00

Teeny, what that's? Some little shoes.

Speaker 1 7:04

But we were like we weren't bougie, no, we would wake up. So our mom would be like just put all your socks on. Yeah, and then you put like a plastic bag.

Speaker 2 7:15

Oh, I never did that. I never had the foresight to.

Speaker 1 7:18

We didn't have no snow boots, it was snow pants. Where do you live, colorado?

Speaker 2 7:22

No, yeah, pants. Where do you live, colorado? Yeah, I had wet jeans, that's what we had.

Speaker 1 7:26

My clothes are stiff when I come inside.

Speaker 2 7:28

Yeah, Are you cold? Yes, I'm frozen.

Speaker 1 7:32

Yeah, we'd go, I'm a popsicle on feet.

Speaker 2 7:35

You'd go outside. I don't even remember. I remember having like mittens or no. We had them little like knit, kind of like isotoner gloves, you make one snowball.

Speaker 1 7:46

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:47

And your fingers are just frozen to the core.

Speaker 1 7:50

Yeah, there was no. I mean now even like a Target or a Walmart, you know or well you've got, you can order online, but you know you can at least have the. I mean we still don't have like snow, snow boots, but we got boots that you know.

Speaker 2 8:07

These boots were made for walking in the snow. Yeah, sorry, this is just random, I have to. I was wondering why do news stations start with a W, start with a K or a W? K callsigns generally reserved for stations west of the Mississippi River. That doesn't make sense, and a W limited to stations east of the river. What, sorry so is it be west, but you're wrong.

Speaker 2 8:41

Um k is west of the mississippi and w which west starts with yes east of the river anyway, um, that'll make no sense, sorry I don't even know what to say.

Speaker 1 8:59

I was gonna say who made that? Does it? I don't yeah we're gonna let do that, hey, bobby um yeah you're good with the directions right somebody was blindfolded yeah, there was a dartboard, yeah, um pin the tail on the call country this will be w. This will be k. I still don't believe that. I'm going to look it up.

Speaker 2 9:25

Google don't lie.

Speaker 1 9:27

Everything's true. I read it on the internets so get your hot chocolate ready or your chili. What are the okay? Some people, like I do, like to make a nice big pot of soup if I know it's going to snow.

Speaker 2 9:44

Yeah, and make some cornbread.

Speaker 1 9:45

So I just you know that's what we're eating for three days or whatever. But some people are like I can't. If I know it's going to snow, I got to make sure I got whatever it is. You know Diet Coke, or you know popcorn or whatever you're doing. Yeah, what's your like? Half to halves?

Speaker 2 10:01

Topo Chico lime flavored.

Speaker 1 10:04

We got to have those.

Speaker 2 10:05

Yeah, probably popcorn.

Speaker 1 10:08

Yeah.

Speaker 2 10:09

And then some frozen pizzas.

Speaker 1 10:11

Oh yeah, sling of frozen pizza in there, yeah.

Speaker 2 10:13

I mean, I'd love to have like a bunch of soups in there. Here's the thing I want super chili. Yeah, but I don't want it I ain't going to make it Once it starts snowing.

Speaker 1 10:22

I'm not.

Speaker 2 10:23

Yeah, if it takes more than warm up the oven, throw it in there.

Speaker 1 10:27

Right yeah, because I'm in sweatpants with that popcorn on the couch.

Speaker 2 10:31

Does anybody cook Like?

Speaker 1 10:37

during a snow day? Can you see anybody be like I'm going to whip up this pasta? I've only made soup, I guess.

Speaker 2 10:42

I like to make soup, but that's just dumping cans and chopping a few. Chopping some stuff, yeah, but I'm not like making. But you're not making a meal, no.

Speaker 1 10:47

No, no, no, no, like that is what we will eat.

Speaker 2 10:51

Be in a crock pot, help yourself you know it's a good time to clean out your pantry. That's what that is.

Speaker 1 11:01

Yeah.

Speaker 2 11:02

See what's dusty and eat it.

Speaker 1 11:04

If it's not expired for two years, then see what it tastes like. But yeah, so will your kids go sledding.

Speaker 2 11:14

Oh, man, and do they go by themselves or do you go with them? I like sledding.

Speaker 1 11:23

I like sledding too.

Speaker 2 11:24

I don't like my face being cold.

Speaker 1 11:26

I don't either.

Speaker 2 11:27

Like I cover up. First of all, let's just jump back into the tire.

Speaker 1 11:33

Yeah.

Speaker 2 11:34

I'm concerned with these children because the other day I picked up Braxton at high school, I saw three people come out. I don't know, maybe it was 30 degrees.

Speaker 1 11:47

Yeah, Maybe wind chill maybe 25. Yeah.

Speaker 2 11:49

Three boys had on pajama, pants and T-shirts.

Speaker 1 11:53

I don't know what is happening.

Speaker 2 11:55

I don't know what is uncool about being prepared for weather.

Speaker 1 11:58

Yeah, or just not miserable. Yeah.

Speaker 2 12:01

But apparently that is, I don't know Socially unacceptable.

Speaker 1 12:03

Yeah, yeah, but apparently that is, I don't know, socially unacceptable yeah.

Speaker 2 12:05

Apparently. Yeah, look at this loser, he's not freezing. Yeah, yeah, so then snow days? I mean, I guess they just wear a hooded sweatshirt and some Shorts Shorts and some warm socks I don't know Crocs or Birkenstocks.

Speaker 1 12:20

It's weird.

Speaker 2 12:21

But I bundle up.

Speaker 1 12:23

Oh yeah, I put on all the things I have.

Speaker 2 12:25

Yeah, I put on everything and I'm at that age now where my face gets cold. I used to. I was like hands, feet, ears I got to have If I ain't got no beanie. I do not care, I'm going to have some hot hands in my shoes. You know those little like heaty up thingies.

Speaker 1 12:41

You put it in the bottom of your face, mm-hmm yeah.

Speaker 2 12:43

But yeah, like you go sledding, it's just the wind, like the wind's blowing.

Speaker 1 12:49

Yeah, the wind gets you, yeah.

Speaker 2 12:50

And you're like man.

Speaker 1 12:52

Yeah. And kids they're like yeah, let's keep going. You're like how are you not dying?

Speaker 2 12:56

Face is purple.

Speaker 1 13:09

They're soaking wet home. They're like one more time, one more time, yeah. But like I mean, I'm 51, you're what 47? I think you gotta pick where you're gonna slide down the hill strategically, like, okay, I can't break anything right or yeah, and what kind of? Oh sorry, oh, I say that, but then you're like but then then like, watch this comes out, uh-oh, hey, y'all watch this, yeah, bye-bye.

Speaker 2 13:28

I think maybe it was probably 10 years ago. Probably 10 years ago it snowed and somebody had those plastic sleds.

Speaker 1 13:37

The discs Disc ones or the two people ones? It was the two people ones, yeah.

Speaker 2 13:41

With the rope it was the two people ones with the rope and we're at our old neighborhood and we found a good hill and anyway, we're going down the hill and I was 37 then. So ish, I was like I wasn't even 40 yet I was like I'm a child. Yeah, and a guy was like hey man, I bet somebody could ski down the hill, one of these.

Speaker 1 14:01

So I was like I've never skied a day.

Speaker 2 14:04

I can't ski, I can't surf. I'll try it.

Speaker 1 14:05

Yeah.

Speaker 2 14:07

I got halfway down I was like I'm going to pull this off. This is amazing. And some little kid walked right out in front of me and that threw me off. I hit my head so hard.

Speaker 1 14:16

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 14:17

Because when that thing just goes out, yeah, you're hitting it full speed and the snow's all like packed down. And I was like I will never again.

Speaker 1 14:26

Yeah, don't do that.

Speaker 2 14:28

But we go to the elementary school.

Speaker 1 14:31

Oh yeah, close to our house, yeah.

Speaker 2 14:33

There's a big hill. It's great, but you kind of got to throw on brakes at the end.

Speaker 1 14:40

Or you just kind of slow. You have to turn it a little bit.

Speaker 2 14:43

You just kind of slow down in the woods, or you just kind of slow. You have to turn it a little bit.

Speaker 1 14:46

You just kind of slow down in the woods, like the briars will kind of slow you down. The tree stopped you yeah.

Speaker 2 14:49

That deer will put the brakes on for you. So yeah, we just kind of slowly go into the woods.

Speaker 1 14:54

Yeah, there is a hill kind of behind, like where all the whatever they're called the back 40, which is hilarious, but the piece of property where all the power lines run through, but it's just kind of open. There's one spot with a hill, so you've got to walk to get there. Yeah, we've got to work, but I don't know I'm not doing it anymore. The last time was like two years ago.

Speaker 2 15:19

Yeah, I think the last time we went sledding I guess it was last year, but it was, I want to say, like 15 degrees outside- I saw your video of that oh yeah, it was like 15, maybe 19 degrees in the sun. Yeah, and Robin was on a trip or whatever. She was in the Bahamas. That's right On the beach, and I was like she would send me like a picture of all these girls and they're like, hey, we're just hanging out eating on the beach and just like laying in the sun.

Speaker 2 15:51

And then I'd send them like a selfie. It was just me and the boys.

Speaker 1 15:54

It was like ice on your beard.

Speaker 2 15:56

Icicles on your face.

Speaker 1 15:58

Yeah.

Speaker 2 15:58

Yeah, I'll do it.

Speaker 1 16:02

I'll sled.

Speaker 2 16:02

I guess I'm going to get hurt.

Speaker 1 16:05

Yeah, but yeah, dripping the faucets.

Speaker 2 16:09

I don't do that anymore.

Speaker 1 16:10

Oh man, we do, and if we hadn't two nights ago, we have one sink that would have frozen for sure, because it was kind of doing that, and you're kind of cutting it back on.

Speaker 2 16:22

I guess I do one the farthest away from the water heater.

Speaker 1 16:27

Yeah, but I only do it if it's below like 20. Yeah, randall's office sink froze last year. It's super fun. Home ownership yeah.

Speaker 2 16:39

I put those old things on outside.

Speaker 1 16:41

We do that too. Which one?

Speaker 2 16:43

happened to when they freeze. They just explode and water goes everywhere.

Speaker 1 16:47

Well, you'll know it. Because it's not working, because it's busted under your house or something, I guess, and then when it unfreezes, you'll know.

Speaker 2 16:56

Fantastic.

Speaker 1 16:57

It'll either leak in your house or under your house or something. Then you get to call a plumber.

Speaker 2 17:02

Well, that's the beauty. Kids are like hey, it snowed, I don't have to go to school Meanwhile.

Speaker 1 17:07

When you're 47, you're like, should I drip all the faucets again? Do I open the cabinet?

Speaker 2 17:11

Yeah, Well, you've Googled everything and you're like I'm kind of concerned about an ice dam and that back gutter.

Speaker 1 17:17

Yeah, now you know all the ins and outs of like. Right outs of like right yeah, skylights, and then there's snow around it and ice expands.

Speaker 2 17:29

right, should I put ice melt out on the sidewalk, I don't know. They say I did it last year.

Speaker 1 17:32

They say don't do it with aggregate driveway I don't have that because it like eats through oh, I have a little bit of that like your aggregate.

Speaker 2 17:41

There's a don't do rock salt or whatever.

Speaker 1 17:43

There's a certain Type.

Speaker 2 17:46

I don't know.

Speaker 1 17:48

I guess it's like organic anything. There's like a salt you can use.

Speaker 2 17:53

But they add something to the quick melt. Oh, okay, so if you use it, it's like it's going to melt your sidewalk, it kind of eats holes in your aggregate yeah. I could be wrong, but I read it once again on the internets.

Speaker 1 18:06

Well, our driveway and sidewalks kind of like a coat of many colors, you know what I'm saying. Like there's a little bit of sidewalk, that's aggregate. There's a little bit of what am I trying to say? Concrete, and then the driveway is asphalt. When we win the lottery, we're going to make it all concrete. It's going to make it all concrete. It's gonna be real nice. But sorry, we redid our house. It was like, oh yeah, we'll just do that porch in that section, we'll go back and do that other later yeah, you could just lay out hundred dollar bills and like put a thin coat on them, it'd be cheaper um yeah, yeah, I'm not yes, no day.

Speaker 2 18:43

I don't want it to happen. Love and hate it.

Speaker 1 18:44

I know, I know, but you know it's coming Because they're already talking about it now, which means, like I said, it'll either be more than they say or nothing.

Speaker 2 18:53

Yeah.

Speaker 1 18:54

We'll see.

Speaker 2 18:55

Danielle Breezy keeps saying.

We used those a while back I guess it was two years ago, two or three and packed that thing full. We built a whole snow castle on our driveway. We did that bucket probably 20 times.

Speaker 1 21:04

Yeah, everyone will say and tell me, you got a big piece of cardboard I think we did cardboard no but we had all our uh, all our floats from the beach, so dad blew them all up.

Speaker 2 23:26

We had one that was a fake tire.

Speaker 1 23:27

Let's go, Cousin Eddie.

Speaker 2 23:29

You know, we tried out and it was a good spot, but once again you end up in the woods. So I think we popped every float we had. And then the last thing we had was a two-man inflatable raft. Remember when people used to buy those yes, I don't know where.

Speaker 1 23:44

We thought like when were we going with it? Are we getting on the Akoi?

Speaker 2 23:47

It had paddles remember and like rings for it, like what are we?

Speaker 1 23:52

doing yeah.

Speaker 2 23:54

You want to put this in the lake, uh-uh, and then so whatever. But yeah, that thing lasted a while, oh man, but it was just funny because all the people that had like yeah, they were going down on those fancy things yeah sorry, and they were like it was slow and it looked boring yeah meanwhile, yeah, free bird.

Speaker 2 24:12

Yeah, oh yeah watch this redneck go down the hill. It is fast. We about to mix it up, yeah which I will say if you want to have fun in the snow, that's all. Yeah, redneck, they don't get a lot of snow.

Speaker 1 24:27

Get a river float yeah.

Speaker 2 24:29

Sorry, I'm just throwing the term redneck out there, but you know, it is what it is. Yeah, they don't see it a lot.

Speaker 1 24:35

So, when it snows, they're going to get creative, they're going to cash in, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 24:39

Yeah, you're riding garbage lids down the roof, it don't matter.

Speaker 1 24:44

The ER might be the destination, but it's going to be fun on the way there.

Speaker 2 24:48

You know what I'm saying you think that's cool.

Speaker 1 24:50

Yeah, hold my sled.

Speaker 2 24:51

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 24:53

Hold my toboggan.

Speaker 2 24:57

Which I call those beanies. Now I don't call them toboggans anymore.

Speaker 1 25:00

Oh, I call it a toboggan. All day. Jonah goes what do you want me to get you for Christmas? Mom, I don't want to buy you the same thing. I've been buying you and I was like uh, a new toboggan.

Speaker 2 25:09

Yeah, I call them beanies, just because I feel like it's quicker. I can spell it. Not that I'm writing it down, but you know what?

Speaker 1 25:21

I'm saying, yeah, I get it, I ain't robbing a bank.

Speaker 2 25:23

It's cold.

Speaker 1 25:24

I ain't got time to say all that, get inside with your beanie to bargain Shoot. I forgot what I was going to say. Oh, so was. Do you remember if that was the same year? So do you remember March of 93?

Speaker 2 25:40

Like it was yesterday, no what happened.

Speaker 1 25:42

So I was at college, so you would have been at that house you were talking about, and it snowed and a lot of people got trapped on our campus because nobody could get out, because it was like full on two feet. I don't know if you remember that Huge snowstorm.

Speaker 2 25:58

That's probably when I was going down in it.

Speaker 1 26:00

Yeah, and so people didn't leave, like we couldn't leave, went to the college cafeteria. No, no, the staff is that we had to like find food and cook it and, like some people, didn't go on spring break.

Speaker 2 26:12

It's like Lord of the Flies and we were sledding on the cafeteria trays.

Speaker 1 26:17

And that's that. That campus was like very hilly.

Speaker 2 26:21

That is. That sounds like Clark Gerswald, right there it was not safe.

Speaker 1 26:24

Non-penetrant cereal, varnish or whatever has anybody ever used that on a sled, dad, not that I know of Russ. He's like making that face like all right, and I don't think this is a good idea.

Speaker 2 26:37

If this gets dented, then my hair just ain't going to look right.

Speaker 1 26:40

Right here there's a plate, but over here it's just nothing. You really think it matters, eddie? Sorry, while we quote that whole scene, but Uh, bingo, um, that was intense, like there were. There were places where it drifted like up to my thighs. When I stepped out I was like, oh well, now I can't move that. I've never seen that again. Ski down the hill, it was probably 10 years ago.

Speaker 2 27:06

I remember for two days the high was zero. Yeah, it was zero and we went outside. Our boys would want to go outside. I remember vividly walking out the back door and it was mostly an ice storm.

Speaker 1 27:32

Yeah, so it was snow, but it was not real hot ice and I was like don't hey, it was just like the show.

Speaker 2 27:38

I was like don't hey, watch your step, Don't slip, don't slip. Next thing you know I'm carrying a sled. That sled's 20 feet in the air. I fall, probably broke my tailbone. I did it twice. First time, I think, I broke my tailbone. Sled goes up in there, then lands and then starts to go down the cul-de-sac, I remember, because our driveway was not very steep and we'd get our boys on a little plastic saucer sled. Oh yeah, and we'd just barely push them, they would have slid to Arkansas if you didn't stop them.

Speaker 2 28:12

I had to go get them before they like hit the second road or go down the gutter or something. You know what I'm saying. They just kept sliding. But I remember the windchill one day when I guess I came in or something. I'm like my face hurts. Yeah, and then I was like, oh, that's because the windchill is negative 30.

Speaker 1 28:31

Uh-uh, you shouldn't be outside Because the wind was whipping. Yeah, that's when it's like we don't know.

Speaker 2 28:37

I think our boys' cheeks would get real red for, like the next, I don't know 10 years.

Speaker 1 28:43

We're still treating it with Aquaphor.

Speaker 2 28:45

It was yeah.

Speaker 1 28:47

There are times nobody should be outside.

Speaker 2 28:48

Yeah, that was one of those times, but we went outside and they wanted to go. I know, I don't know what I was doing.

Speaker 1 28:53

Yeah, no, that's when you're like we got to do like a Marvel movie-a-thon or something. I don't know.

Speaker 2 29:02

They had. The boys have one of those playgrounds and it had that little. Everybody's got that same little green slide.

Speaker 1 29:07

It's like six feet that one little dip.

Speaker 2 29:09

And they want to go down the slide. So, but it's all snow, so I'll wipe the snow off. And then I'm like, oh, this is like an inch or two of ice. So I'm just taking a hammer and I'm barely hitting the ice, I've got 90% removed. It's the dumbest thing in the world.

Speaker 2 29:23

And then, like I'm in the middle of the slide, and I'm like man, this thing is on there and I go boom and then like a chunk the size of a child falls out of the slide like right in the middle, like well, not going down that.

Speaker 1 29:37

No, oh of the actual slide, the slide, you broke it yeah.

Speaker 2 29:42

It was like hitting a ceramic vase. I've never said that in my life.

Speaker 1 29:48

Can you get the ice off this china? Sure thing, bring it over here.

Speaker 2 29:52

But yeah, there was like other kids there and they were like let's go down the slide in the snow and I was like give me a minute.

Speaker 1 29:59

Yeah, I'll break it. Let me break it for you, and then you can not go on it, yeah. Cue the crying.

Speaker 2 30:07

Yeah, when it's so cold, your slide Breaks, breaks, I think it's time to go in the house. Mm-hmm, yeah, so that's when they well, you can't get deliveries. But yeah, that's what you do when it's that cold. And I just had like Lego set. People just come deliver you like a big set.

Speaker 1 30:29

Grubhub and like what you call it. But you know what I'm saying. Any kind of delivery should just have a couple things with snow tires. They make so much money.

Speaker 2 30:37

But like you could, just if you could just order a set like a giant one and build it and then return it and get like 90% of the I'm just saying yeah. You're going to be inside.

Speaker 1 30:49

Like a rental program on wheels or something.

Speaker 2 30:52

Yeah, yeah, wheels, or something. Yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah, no, it's um I'm not looking forward to it, but yeah, my boys are yeah, here we go so back from christmas break and here we go three day, week I'm saying how long they've been out of school seven weeks and they're like it's a snow day.

Speaker 1 31:11

Speaker 1 32:43

Yeah, until that. 93. That takes a cake.

Speaker 2 32:48

How do you remember weather like that?

Speaker 1 32:50

Well, I was 20 or something. I guess. And like when you're kind of like, well, what are we going to do? I guess we'll go to the cafeteria and get in the freezer and see what the food situation is and cook a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 2 33:04

I love when it's like real cold. It's like Armageddon and you can just kind of break windows and like we had to eat.

Speaker 1 33:10

Yeah, we're always supposed to leave, so I had to stay on. Yeah, it was weird we're stranded.

Speaker 2 33:17

We had to just rob the cafeteria exactly well, ramen noodles, you know. I can't do those things yeah some people swear by that stuff. I'd rather eat snow ice cream.

Speaker 1 33:30

I swear it's cheap.

Speaker 2 33:32

But because it's mush.

Speaker 1 33:34

I know, yeah, I swear it's cheap Because it's mush.

Chicken beef.

Speaker 2 33:44

Snow.

Speaker 1 33:45
