hey real quick
Car shopping, Colonoscopies, and Oil Changes (For your Car)
Hey y'all, welcome back so what do you got going? Well, lately I've been looking for cars. No, not cars, car.
Speaker 2:You're just going to buy one.
Speaker 1:Just one. There you go For our youngest, who is still home and needs something you know like point A, point B kind of car. Need something you know like point A, point B kind of car Get to school, get to church, get to stuff you got to go to.
Speaker 2:On time, on time, yeah.
Speaker 1:That will crank and get him there and come back. So definitely have a set budget for that and, you know, put you in a certain the price point, put you in a certain level of vehicle. So I'm looking at Facebook Marketplace, AutoTrader, stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Which is a lot of back and forth.
Speaker 2:Are you talking to people or are you just texting?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's the whole Facebook Marketplace culture of A they never get back to you, b they do, but it's what you figured. There's a crack in the radiator or something like that. Or you actually do go check out the car and, oh, we already sold it.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Or if we drive it around the block and go okay, maybe we should get it, because we always, anytime we buy something, we get it checked out Like you know, take it to some place get an inspection, like at a Goodyear or either a mechanic or something, but it's usually got to be like at a stop in somewhere I don't know. I'm at the point. Do I invest in one of those little things that you plug in it like throws up the code of what's wrong with the car?
Speaker 2:DIY inspect it myself, kind of thing. I wouldn't know how to do that.
Speaker 1:Anyway, it's a whole thing because you know it's hard to trust people and like an example of that is so they should just rent beater cars for teenagers.
Speaker 2:I'm saying Just kind of.
Speaker 1:You could have a whole business. You can have a little bit of rust on it, people don't care. Durable, yeah, I mean of rust on it.
Speaker 2:People don't care. Durable yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, the teenager cares, but we don't care. But, like you know, I'm looking at a car. It was on Facebook Marketplace, I think it was like a Civic or something maybe a. Mazda version of a Civic I had a Civic. And you did have a Civic. And so the description of the car. You know it's got like high, 100 000 miles on. Maybe he's got 200 000. We don't care if it's, if it's running, we don't yeah, whatever does it work?
Speaker 1:because our other kids got like hand-me-down cars or you know whatever and they they're still going. You know, knock on wood somewhere but say you flip, it's like it runs good, da, da da, great condition. You're looking through the pictures and it's obviously like a very like small car lot or somebody that sells more than one car at a time, because written on the windshield. In the corner of the windshield in one of the pictures it says won't start.
Speaker 2:I don't want that one.
Speaker 1:I'm like either take that picture out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and try to fool somebody, fool somebody, or hey, we'll just take cash for it. You're going to have to put some work into it and tow it. It won't start. Who's buying that? I don't know. But the description, don't know. But the description don't match the picture and this is where we are, you know. So I don't know, I don't mind if it's like hey, this has a cracked windshield because we could get that fixed. Or you know little stuff. You know scratches and dents. Gosh, everybody's car's got a scratcher.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean like, but I um yeah, I don't mind getting a tune-up or something like that, that's fine. You need one of those cars like like you see in the movies, like when he goes to buy the like a transformers yes and yes, uh shia labouf yeah, is it bernie mack or cedric to entertain, or b? Or Bernie Mac comes out and he's the car's house. Or like the car Dalton gets in Roadhouse. Remember that. No, I don't but they'd just be like 800 bucks. That's what you want.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just get a bunch of spare time. Can there be a car for 800 bucks? I'd be amazed. Yeah, it's probably not 800.
Speaker 2:I think the first car I got, a Honda Accord. You did it was the first car I like legit was mine. Uh-huh, I think I was 19 or 20. Man, I don't remember that and it was great. I think it was $2,800, which is pretty cheap Mm-hmm, but it leaked everything but gas. Oh, okay, so I had to like water it. It was like a plant.
Speaker 1:I had to water it every morning If you wanted it to take you somewhere.
Speaker 2:Right, it would overheat.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, About every two or three days. Yeah.
Speaker 2:You'd have to blast the heat, roll down the windows and like keep moving.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:In Montgomery Alabama.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in like.
Speaker 2:August.
Speaker 1:What? Yeah, In like August? What do you? Got to fan it and like feed it grapes. I can't afford to sweat. I'm going to get rid of all the oil.
Speaker 2:You don't want that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:So anyway, but so there we go. I've been doing that lately.
Speaker 2:Let's get a motorcycle Cheaper.
Speaker 1:If they only had an invisibility cloak, kind of like Harry Potter, but protective for you know, what I mean. Because, yeah, motorcycles Not in a teenager, no way.
Speaker 2:Uh-uh no.
Speaker 1:That's a bad combo. I don't want a motorcycle, I don't want anybody. I love to drive a motorcycle, actually.
Speaker 2:I always kind of wanted one.
Speaker 1:I kind of wanted a scooter Honda Elite scooter.
Speaker 2:Remember when scooters is it still remember? I know in Alabama because I remember you would get brochures for the scooters.
Speaker 1:Well, that goes back to her dad, who always got brochures for everything You're like. Are we getting a Mazda 626? No, your dad just stopped by at the dealership on the way and talked to them until they closed and then they said take these brochures and our car.
Speaker 2:They said here's every catalog we have we're closing. Yeah, yeah, he would give me. I had all the catalogs for like the, I think, when the Mustang changed over in like 95.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:No, it was like it was early 90s. Like the body style changed.
Speaker 1:Yes, like 92, 93. Yeah.
Speaker 2:He's like I got you a catalog for all the new Mustangs and I was like what. So I've got it picked out Like do I want?
Speaker 1:Candy apple red.
Speaker 2:I'm in my room like do I want?
Speaker 1:convertible.
Speaker 2:I should probably just do a hard top, because I mean, but I probably won't. I like blue. But yeah, I've got everything picked out. Should I get the six disc changer in the trunk? Oh man, yeah.
Speaker 1:It was never to be.
Speaker 2:It did not matter.
Speaker 1:No, just get them a catalog.
Speaker 2:That was the equivalent of anybody who stopped at a rest area and just picked up waterfalls in alabama?
Speaker 1:pamphlet yeah, you ain't going to the water, you're not going, you're already going somewhere. You're at the rest area, but somewhere else, I should say. But you just pick them up yeah, hey, look at this one.
Speaker 2:They got space camp.
Speaker 1:Imagine what that would be like just imagine it though all right, period end done. But yeah, get them a catalog. Well, they don't need, you, don't?
Speaker 2:need catalogs, no, just get on. Would be like, just imagine it though All right, period End Done, but yeah, get him a catalog. Well, you don't need catalogs, no, just get online.
Speaker 1:He's building his own online.
Speaker 2:But it's a Porsche online.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a yeah, I mean, I could do that too. I could get in the weeds of that. Be like.
Speaker 2:And then you go to like the model or whatever.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I just need the most basic. I don't care, I don't need all the frills and all that stuff. And then you click on it. You're like I mean that LX is a little.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, I do want a heated seat. Right, the next thing. You know you're like what's a premium? Yeah, I mean it's not that by it's a premium, I mean it's not that by the time you're done you're like, oh my gosh, what have I done?
Speaker 1:Maybe if I just take the tow hitch package off, you know, like as if you got a boat Like at that point it's just play money anyway, you know that's. That's just like doing an adult coloring book or a puzzle. For me it's like well, let's, let's dream about getting a new car, anyway so car shopping don't like it. I haven't done it. We gotta do it pretty soon I guess in a year did you lease your car? Uh, I actually did lease it and then oh, but people are on the fence about that.
Speaker 2:People are like you're, either strong opinions yeah, you either lease, and that way you never have repairs or yeah, but we ended up like in the car and so we're like whatever we're just option to buy, or whatever we just bought, or yeah, yeah, we stuck with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, stick with it, I'm used to it yeah, yeah, and you have a hyundai what is it? Big suv, what's?
Speaker 2:that A big one, what's it called Palisade?
Speaker 1:Palisade.
Speaker 2:Yeah, which it was during COVID. So we put a bunch of miles.
Speaker 1:Oh right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, doing road trips. Yeah, so we stuck with that. I want to get. I asked Braxton. I said would you want to drive a truck?
Speaker 1:because then I could always have a truck when I needed it.
Speaker 2:He's like I don't really want a truck. I'm like, well then, we'll see.
Speaker 1:We'll see how that goes, You'll just drive whatever there is for you to drive, if there is one for you to drive.
Speaker 2:Guess what a good deal was on, yeah, the truck. But you have to maintain. The hardest part is maintaining the hardest part is maintaining them.
Speaker 1:My car needs an oil change right now, which I can remember when those were $29.99. Of the little Valvoline. That is the inflation and the Oil changes.
Speaker 2:Eggs ain't got nothing on an oil change.
Speaker 1:Oil change is like do you want a timeshare or an?
Speaker 2:oil change.
Speaker 1:I don't know what's happening, but you go get an oil change. I don't know what's happening, but you go get an oil change. I don't even replace the filter, but that's $110.99, whatever.
Speaker 2:Are there gold flakes in the oil In?
Speaker 1:the oil yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 2:I don't either, and then they'll go.
Speaker 1:But I got to do it yeah you got to. Because you start to hear that old noise Always, you know, when you hear a little like because they say you can go 5,000 with the synthetic, I go at least five, maybe 10. I've hit over four and I can tell, I can just tell when I put the gas on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did the synthetic last time because I was like wait a minute, it gets me extra.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then they tell you really only need to come every five.
Speaker 2:But Well, I went like a step up because I was like fine. I said no first because I was cheap and I was like I ain't paying that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then they were about to do it and I was like, wait a minute, how often do I have to come if I do synthetic?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then they told me, I was like sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but then when you go to pay, what are you putting in here? Yeah, yeah, it's bonkers. Do angels make it? It's insane. And then they come up. Hey, wish you a wide percent, they are just fine, thank you did I get here? Yes, I don't ask me one other thing. Do you want a fuel injection, something, something a little bottle, something they put in your gas tank? No you can keep that add-on stuff. You know what that's like? That's like the candy at the checkout at like TJ Maxx or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we ain't buying anything except what we come in here for.
Speaker 2:Or it's time for, like the radiator flush or whatever.
Speaker 1:I ain't never done that. Have you ever done?
Speaker 2:it, just take this $100 bill and flush it down the toilet. While you're at it, let's just do another flush.
Speaker 1:Speaking of flushing.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Not to change.
Speaker 1:Oh, not to change subjects, it's a maintenance Speaking of maintenance. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, robin had to have my wife. She had to have her first ever, which I didn't know this. She had never had any surgery, never been under anesthesia. Really she's never had to have anything done. No, she did have two children.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right, as far as procedures that aren't giving birth, yeah, Right, so I didn't know. Wow, so she'd never been under.
Speaker 2:So I always got something wrong with me.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Joining the club yeah.
Speaker 2:So she had to have a colonoscopy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's the thing these days.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's how you know you're getting old.
Speaker 1:Yeah, have you scheduled your? Yeah, I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 2:So they give her the stuff to drink. Now I did it back in the day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you and I did early ones because we have extra fun yeah.
Speaker 2:I did it where they gave you like a gallon and a half of I'm going to call it sand water.
Speaker 1:With some bacon soda or something in it salt. It was something nasty, wasn't it I?
Speaker 2:managed to get like 75% of the way through that because they said you got to drink all of it, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then I got about three-fourths of the way through it and my body was like you don't have to drink all of it, because I just Either that or you're going to see it again or something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my body just shut down. I was like you aren't doing it, but hers was just like a little white bottle. Looked like the size of something for your contacts, like a big little six-ounce yeah A little six-ounce, eight-ounce bottle.
Speaker 1:Right, that was it.
Speaker 2:Well, she had to Mix it with Gatorade or something. Maybe it was like 10 ounces, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:But she had to drink some of it straight and then drink it again and then set an alarm for three in the morning.
Speaker 1:Wait what? Yeah, that's what yeah, and drink new, so she didn't get like any sleep. Oh yeah, because you're up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're not drinking this and going back to bed anyway we don't need to sleep on the toilet. Yeah, um so she was so tired so she'd never been under before. So when she woke up she was just like that, wheeled her through the whatever waiting area and I could see her just talking or whatever. And she was like man, I slept good.
Speaker 1:It's so cute.
Speaker 2:It was like 30 minutes, but she was like ooh, she was like I bet that was good sleep they put you under, they make you do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. But yeah so are you do it yeah?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so are you scheduling one?
Speaker 2:No, I'm done. I did one a long time ago.
Speaker 1:I ain't doing that stuff.
Speaker 2:No, okay.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm scheduling one because I'm a real follower and but I have to go see my primary care because I need to see him first before I get the. Anyway, it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2:See, they make it too hard, that's why I don't do it Well.
Speaker 1:I had to also have one in my when I was 40. So it's been, it'll be 12 years in a minute. But um. But then I was like, well, while I'm at it, I'm probably overdue for the dentist, went ahead and scheduled that appointment. Still have to schedule my eye appointment because I'm overdue for new glasses prescription. I've been to the dermatologist this year because I had to have something removed that looked suspicious.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I think it was fine. And what else? Oh yeah, going to the girl doc. You know just as women have to do and make sure everything's okay and all that Lovely. Oh, and I did a trip to the podiatrist.
Speaker 2:Good grief.
Speaker 1:What am I 90?.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you know now I got some foot issues now that I'm getting older, so it's like, oh my gosh, so before May I'm definitely going to knock out my deductible for sure which is kind of high. So I was saying something. It's like, oh hi, what? But last year I didn't kind of do anything, you know.
Speaker 2:And I what. But last year I didn't kind of do anything.
Speaker 1:you know? Yeah, I took a decade off. Well, sounds like you're still taking a decade off.
Speaker 2:I don't get tetanus shots.
Speaker 1:Oh, I haven't gotten one of those ever. I love those.
Speaker 2:Every time you go, I don't go for I think when I turned 40, I went for a checkup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's the last time I went for a checkup. Yeah, which?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the last time I went for a checkup, yeah, which was seven years ago, and he said like when's the last time you had a tetanus shot? I say the same thing every time I'm like probably like eight years, I always say eight.
Speaker 1:Say eight If it's been over 10.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got to do one, so I always say I think it's been like seven, a rusty nail.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you'll go to the urgent care. They'll give you one.
Speaker 2:I'm not putting up barbed wire to keep cattle in. When am I getting cut by rust?
Speaker 1:I don't think that's a regular thing, though even I think that, like they stopped asking that question when I went. I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I'll say this I felt old when we went for her colonoscopy, because I used to always make fun of Robin, because she would say like hey, can you read this medicine bottle?
Speaker 1:What does that say?
Speaker 2:And I'm like, golly, you can't read nothing. Yeah. But six months later I can't see anything. My vision's worse than hers, so we go in to the waiting room. Yeah, I've got sweatpants on. Oh yeah, Probably the same ones I'm wearing today Sweatpants on reading glasses around my sweatshirt.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And my iPad.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like I'm that old, I'm in the waiting room, I'm going to get on my iPad and I'm also old enough to where I was on my iPad the entire time and never put on my reading glasses Forgot they were there.
Speaker 1:Oh right, Well, you can make the font bigger. I read on my iPad because I can make the font bigger.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I needed them, but I was like oh, they're right there on my shirt. Oh, they're right there on my shirt, Sorry.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I never thought I'd. Yeah, I went from 40, 46, 47. And instead of 47 and a half I just went straight to like 82.
Speaker 1:But the level of I don't care. Yeah, I don't care Is so refreshing, like the way I will go out in public now, like sometimes I go. Is Randall going to care? Yeah, like that's my barometer, if Randall was ever like. I mean if you want to wear it, but I mean he never says anything, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm not throwing him out of the bus at all, because he's always like whatever you want to wear, but like I wonder if he's wondering because and I'm not talking about like going to someone's house for an event or- you know, yeah, I'm talking about like just going to run errands, but like Ain't nobody going to judge.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, if I see you out buying something.
Speaker 1:Nobody's judging, nobody cares, you don't know.
Speaker 2:When I see people all like dressed to the nines.

Speaker 1:Yeah, he didn't want to come in the beginning. We had to get him out of pajamas and to sweatpants.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think Jonah said that last time he like mom yeah, sports clips is it's. I mean they're all expensive, but they are. It's worth it, though, because when you leave, you're like it does feel good to get a fresh cut it does. Yeah, yeah, my husband shaved his beard today oh speaking of maintenance man, I shaved mine like maybe six months ago how long have you had that beard?
Speaker 1:that you six months okay, no uh I thought you know all the way off, not like just trimmed. Oh, I didn't, I wasn't listening all the way off, like maybe you know, maybe four or five months ago okay, will you shave the beard you have now before summer? No, really, you'll keep it during the summer. Yeah, see, his was big.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I used to have I'm trying to think when I started doing a beard. It's probably been like three or four years.
Speaker 1:You haven't shaved your face all the way down in three or four years. Yeah, I have Like once or twice, okay.
Speaker 2:But then every time I do it I'm mad at myself.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:Like I 'll shave you get it. Like I get it now. I'm like why are people obsessed with having a beard or whatever? I'm like who cares?
Speaker 1:Because you get it like you want it, kind of.
Speaker 2:Well, it's just, and it's just like you kind of, you know just mess with it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, totally. You know you're kind of like thinking.
Speaker 2:You know I'm in deep thought, I'm going to ponder something. Yeah, but like even if I trim my beard like too much, I'll have like instant regret.
Speaker 1:Wow, I guess that's similar to maybe girls with their hair, like, if you have long hair, a girl has long hair and she's like I'm just going to chop it off, and then they're crying. I mean I didn't cry, but I thought about it. Yeah, I considered it.
Speaker 2:Anyway, tears make it grow back faster.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he, he's Make it grow back faster. Yeah, he's got something. He's got a film. And he was like, yeah, so that's the longest he's ever had a beard. It's been about six months, I guess, maybe six, seven months, and he was trimming it like some, but like his was like full, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like Santa Claus.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I was like oh man, look at your, I forgot the shape of your face. Look at your, I forgot the shape of your face.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, you look way younger when you shave it.
Speaker 1:I will say that and he had almost all gray. It's almost all gone to gray, yeah, mine's getting more Santa-ish every year and Ben didn't know he was shaving his beard.
Speaker 2:Was he like scared?
Speaker 1:And he came in this morning and he goes hey, ah, I'm not yet and this is like a 17-year-old. You know, you've seen those little videos of like the little kids that are like three, four, five years old, and the dad's always had a beard, they shave it, they come in, oh yeah. And the kids are like, hey dad.
Speaker 2:Same. Thing.
Speaker 1:They just start crying, yeah, basically, it was like I don't know this man baby, and what did he do with my father?
Speaker 2:yeah, exactly, but anyway. Um, what's easier to trim your beard than go get a colonoscopy?
Speaker 1:I mean, it's easier maintenance yeah, you do not have to drink stuff in the middle of the night. I mean, I guess you can, if you want, to do whatever you want, but you can just wake up and trim your beard. Yeah, yeah, the the worst part of those types of things, like those tests, is getting the IV.
Speaker 2:For me, oh, I can't stand it If there wasn't an IV for those kinds of things.
Speaker 1:I've already been up on mine and gotten it done when I turned 50, because I have to psych myself up for about 18 months and be like, OK, this appointment is going to have an IV.
Speaker 2:Here we go, here we go and once they do it it's like, okay, it's done, but before they do it, IV lightheaded, that's yeah, I don't. And then they do it in the hand.
Speaker 1:Oh, or right on top of the wrist they get they brought Robin out.
Speaker 2:You know which. I don't know why they wheel you through the main part of the hospital, but whatever. So they wheel her back there. She gets in the back and then she's like yeah, they tried to do the IV right here, but it wouldn't take. They had to do it and I'm like I'm going to need Y'all got another bed, like I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then she's like see right here. I'm like I don't want to see right there on your hand because, yeah, it's making my mouth water like right before you pass out.
Speaker 2:They could save time and just just let me stand up, show me the needle and say we're going to do the IV. I'll pass out in my head, I'll be unconscious, and then just do what you need to do. Put the IV. I'll pass out and hit my head. I'll be unconscious and then just do what you need to do. Put the IV in. Then I'd rather just somebody come out of the woodwork and hit me with a hammer.
Speaker 2:And just be like he's out. Put the IV in. You know, like the, there's some comedian that talked about that like with a, like a blowgun to vaccinate kids. You know they're scared of the shot.
Speaker 1:Just put them on the playground.
Speaker 2:He's like you just stand behind the door and they're like la-da-da-da-da and they're just, and it's like right in the neck. That's what they could do with like an IV, just like can I say yeah, it's like those James Bond darts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just do that. You could do it to people in the waiting room. They could already be getting drowsy. Just already have them in the wheelchair.
Speaker 2:Yeah, do it. When I'm on my iPad with my reading glasses, Just come up behind me and just be like call an ice cream. Number three, let's go right here. We've got a pickup on aisle two in the waiting room.
Speaker 1:Do you have a to-go order?
Speaker 2:That's what you do. You just go around the waiting room, come up behind people and then just wheel them all back, Just line them up.
Speaker 1:Oh gosh, If y'all knew how—we're both pretty lightheaded type people but— I can't stand it. My brother cannot talk about procedures or shots or taking blood tests, or Now, if my kid gets hurt or something like that and push comes to shove, I can do like you can just get in there. Yeah, I can just be like. All right, let's see. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, oh that's blood, okay. Now, if it's me, yeah. And I'm like, oh, that kind of hurts.

Speaker 2:And then I'm like, whew okay, yeah, yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm okay with. I'm better with an IV for a procedure than going to get blood work. When they got to do the change thing when they change the tubes, get a bigger bottle? Do the change thing when they change the bigger bottle? Or I mean, I guess they all send this one off to cholesterol university and this one goes to blood sugar, blood sugar university, I don't know. They gotta mail them across the country or whatever they do vitamin d's in oregon I don't know yeah, how many vials.
Speaker 1:One time they took six and I was like I kept changing you need to put some more back in me before I can go to the car.

Speaker 1:And you know when we changed them growing up? Never.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I don't think they even had a cabin Cabin.
Speaker 1:I don't think we had a cabin air filter If you went with an aunt or uncle, depending on where you grew up and what kind of family. You wish you had a cabin air filter. Remember people smoking the car.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you didn't have a cabin air filter, because that was the ashtray.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you needed an oxygen tank. Now, people be like if you're 12 or under, you can't ride in this car.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is insane what we would breathe in Good gracious man People worrying about a leaf in the cabin air filter. I think it's okay.
Speaker 2:I remember I don't know if I've ever told this before I don't know if I've ever said this out loud. But I'm going to say it right now we were in a large car, as they all were.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:I think Mom was driving and both of my grandparents no, it was Mom's dad, granddad or no, he was in the back. So my Granddad's on one side of me and my great uncle is on the other side.
Speaker 2:Quincy, he's smoking a pipe. Quincy's smoking a pipe and my Granddad's on one side of me and my great uncle is on the other side. Quincy, he's smoking a pipe. Quincy's smoking a pipe and my granddad's smoking a cigarette. And then my grandmother is in the front seat and Quincy's wife Mary, my great aunt, is riding. We'll call it a shotgun, like right in the middle. Yeah, she's smoking a cigarette and my grandmother's smoking a cigarette, so me and my mom are the only two people not smoking.
Speaker 1:No, grandmother didn't smoke. Yes, she did, no, she didn't.
Speaker 2:Or maybe it was Momo, momo smoked.
Speaker 1:Momo quit smoking before we were born. She did.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, all right, well, that was-.
Speaker 1:Grandmother, you and mom weren't. I never knew that grandmother smoked. I've never heard her smoking Really, yeah, okay, well, anyway, it probably felt like everybody you ruined my story.
Speaker 2:I'm so sorry, only 50% of us were smoking.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But I was probably like six, seven. Good gracious it was like Cheech and Chong going down the interstate. You couldn't see nothing. Mom had to like roll her window down pretty far. You couldn't see nothing. Mom had to like roll her window down pretty far. You couldn't go all the way. Yeah, because then there'd just be ash like all in the car.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So everybody kind of cracked their windows, but they mainly just used those little bitty ashtrays like in the car. That would fold back Like the little dinky ones yeah. And I'm just back there like Like. A pipe and two cigarettes in a car all at the same time.
Speaker 1:I don't know if we were like you need your cabin air filter change now. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Can I see that cabin air filter? I'm going to tape it to my face.
Speaker 1:Right, can you put some in my lungs? Good gracious yeah.
