He Ate All The Emergency Snacks And Still Called His Ex

The forecast says ice, but what we’re really tracking is how people act when life slows to a crawl. We kick off with practical storm prep—charging devices, wrapping pipes, backup heat, and smarter grocery runs—then pivot to the kind of relationship truths that only show up when the roads are closed and the Wi‑Fi is iffy. From laugh-out-loud “Believe it, sister” stories to hard-won lessons on boundaries, hygiene, and equity at home, this conversation blends humor with heart and leaves you with a clearer sense of what matters under pressure.

Along the way, we revisit Georgia’s infamous ice week and how family rituals turned stress into memory. We contrast a hotel hide-and-seek side piece, a quarantine partner who ate all the emergency snacks and skipped showers, and a marriage that quietly unraveled over the words “I still need my freedom” before kids. These aren’t just wild tales—they’re red flags and green flags you can use. Ask the hard questions early. Respect the basics. Protect your time and your energy like the essentials they are.

To keep it light, we drop into a “who’s most likely” game that maps our rhythms: planning cozy nights, finding deeper meaning in small things, meditating then napping, pranking, laughing at the wrong moment, and yes, trying something new when the mood music hits. We round it out with school closures, schedule shuffles, a side-eye at grocery-lane entitlement, and sauna etiquette for crowded gyms. We close on gratitude—kids thriving with mentor support, and personal growth through therapy steps and better habits.

Hit play for storm hacks, relationship wisdom, and a lot of laughs. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a winter pick-me-up, and leave a quick review telling us your biggest dating non-negotiable.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

Bisset.

SPEAKER_04 4:13

And right now, just waiting to see what the weather's gonna do because here we have not gotten any ice or anything.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

Anything.

SPEAKER_04 4:21

Mind you, I canceled my hair appointment because at first they were saying that it was coming at one o'clock, and my hair appointment was at 12:30. So to be safe, I canceled it. And guess what? I could have got my hair done.

SPEAKER_01 4:36

You could have got it done and came back. But hey, but better say.

SPEAKER_04 4:41

So I'm sure probably the day that I rescheduled. We'll see what the weather's gonna be like then. Who knows? But, anyways, that was my week. How was your week?

SPEAKER_01 4:49

My week was good. I was uh being a uh weather forecaster. All my students were like, Coach Hair, you know, Dr. Hare, do you think we're gonna get the rain? I was like, let's see. So I go out there and pull up, you know, all the different forecasts, um, watching the ones on the news and watching the one on YouTube. This one, bring her blanket over here and just put it down right in this area.

SPEAKER_04 5:11

That's what she likes to do.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

And so one of the uh, this guy, I think it's called Ryan on Hey Y'all, Ryan Y'all sometimes. On YouTube? Yeah, yeah. That guy's good. He's real good. I have to look it up. Um he I watched him when he was uh forecasting the storm in Jamaica. And uh right on it, everything he said was, I mean, he was showing live stuff. It was crazy how he had all the street cameras, you know, locked in and But Ryan told us that the ice was coming at one.

SPEAKER_04 5:42

He was wrong.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

But then he also said it's it's coming at one like any other person. He said, but stay tuned because all of this stuff can shift.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

And he did say that, and everything is shifting. I mean, if you if you don't want to be perfect in your job, be a weatherman.

SPEAKER_03 6:00

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 6:01

And if you don't want nobody to get mad at you for not being right, be a weatherman. You know what I'm saying? So that's the perfect job because probable, likely, could, may not. You know, that's what they say all the time. And so uh, you know, but uh that's that was my um

Forecast Fandom And Weather Misfires

SPEAKER_01 6:20

week. Um I'm almost done with my IEPs for the year. I got one next week. Um and then two. Yeah. One next week and then two more left, and I'll be done for the year.

SPEAKER_03 6:37

All right.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

So I'm gonna try to get them uh handled before I think one actually I'm gonna try to get both of them handled before fall break. I mean winter break.

SPEAKER_04 6:48

What? Oh, winter break, okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

Yeah, before the winter break. Yeah if I can get them done before the winter break.

SPEAKER_04 6:52

Ooh, you'll be loose.

SPEAKER_01 6:57

Yep, yep, yep. So, you know, since we're talking about the um the winter storm.

SPEAKER_02 7:03

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 7:04

Okay. Um remember that one storm we had, what was it, 2011?

SPEAKER_03 7:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:12

That was we was in the house we were renting.

SPEAKER_03 7:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 7:16

And um that was the one that they really didn't think it was gonna pan out the way it panned out.

SPEAKER_04 7:22

That wasn't Snow McGann, though.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

No, it wasn't Snow McGinnon. That was where the first Georgia was like, oh, yeah, we really can't handle ice like we thought we could.

SPEAKER_04 7:32

Because we literally, I think, was a week off of school.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

Yeah, and and people were like people were panicking because only a few people could get out to the grocery stores. Um, and then no trucks was like the the grocery stores were empty. There was nothing at the grocery store.

SPEAKER_04 7:48

Oh yes, I remember that. No. And then for us, I don't remember us kind of panicking because when you have littles, because the boys were like first grade, I think then.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Because you were teaching at the Clifford.

SPEAKER_04 8:01

And so when you have littles, you always have food, snacks. Yeah, everything is there. So I don't even remember feeling like we don't have anything. I think we started to want to be more creative to have some different things, but yeah, we had a good time.

SPEAKER_01 8:15

That's when we made the popcorn with candy corn.

SPEAKER_04 8:17

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 8:18

We made the popcorn and then we melted candy corn and something else on, and then we drizzled it over the popcorn. It was so good. And then the boys did a talent show.

SPEAKER_04 8:27

Yeah, they did a talent show.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

And that's the one where we got the picture from Kimoney laying on the thing like he was sunbathing.

SPEAKER_04 8:32

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Um, and uh, yeah, we yeah, but that was that was a crucial moment because a lot of people couldn't get anywhere.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:41

Yeah, for a whole week it was people, they was just stranded. And you knew people that were uh we knew people, well, we didn't know people, but you heard stories of people who went because they didn't even they didn't know it was gonna get bad like that. They went somewhere to somebody's house or or out of town or whatever, or or in a hotel, and then they got stuck.

SPEAKER_04 9:03

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 9:05

And they were stuck with their side pieces. They sneaky link side pieces, Willie Earl, or whoever they were stuck with, you know.

SPEAKER_04 9:13

Miss Mabel.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

Yeah, and they couldn't they couldn't get back home. And then some of the people were stuck with the people and realized I don't like these people. And in reference to that, I have some stories that I would like to read about people

Georgia’s 2011 Ice Memories And Scarcity

SPEAKER_01 9:30

who were stuck during like stranded for whatever reason.

SPEAKER_04 9:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:35

And found out something about that person that they didn't actually know. Or the situation turned out crazy. And it would be one of those things that you would say, I can't believe that. But then you were supposed to say what?

SPEAKER_04 9:51

Believe it, sister.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

That's right. And so let's read a few of these believe it sister questions. I mean stories. Okay. Stir is that ain't it right now. Is it okay? I forgot it ain't wrong.

SPEAKER_04 10:06

Oh my Lord.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

There we go. All right.

SPEAKER_04 10:10

Oh, he's so. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Story number one. I'm trying to think, do I want to read it like this? I think I'll read it like this. It's real, just real small.

unknown 10:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

So a woman gets snowed in at her work. I mean, at her work trip hotel.

SPEAKER_05 10:28

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Okay. Except the city shuts down and flights are canceled for four days. Her husband FaceTimes her constantly. Hey, what's up? Just checking on you. Hey, boom. What's that looking like, girl? I miss you, baby. I miss you 200 buttons.

SPEAKER_04 10:45

But while they're FaceTiming, what did she see?

SPEAKER_01 10:51

No, it's what he didn't see. She had her side dude hiding in the bathroom. By day three, the side piece realizes he's the one being quarantined and demands honesty. Say, yo, I think you need to tell your husband that you over here, you know, slipping around with Big Daddy. She didn't. She refused.

SPEAKER_04 11:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

And when he got up to the hotel, the sneaky link got surprised. And he snuck out when he found out before he got to the room. Yeah. He snuck out to the fire escape and nothing but his shorts and socks.

SPEAKER_04 11:50

Well, he's lucky they had a fire escape. Because I have never been in a hotel that had a fire escape.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Like the fire exit, I meant.

SPEAKER_03 11:58

But he had to go out the front door?

SPEAKER_01 12:00

No, before he got to the room, the husband. The husband let her know when I'm at the hotel.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

Oh.

Oh, but I'm not letting you. If everything's stranded, you don't know. But you would still say he'll be mad if I didn't get on this highway. I better not get on this highway.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

Oh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

Well, that's just me talking for you. That's just me talking for you, excuse me.

SPEAKER_04 13:06

Maybe the husband. Well, it's probably different too because it's a husband and wife. Yeah. The husbands feel like they have to rest.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

Yeah, I definitely, I'll be like, let me get on the road, get in the G.

SPEAKER_04 13:14

So light on the water. Because they got to escape.

SPEAKER_01 13:37

Yeah, they got to escape. She got away with that one.

SPEAKER_04 13:40

She did. Which means she's gonna do it again.

SPEAKER_01 13:43

She's gonna do it again, old trifling. Tell yourself. Is that xling or that's just trifling?

Listen, first of all, him sitting up there with his little stanky self and ate the snacks. I probably would have been gone the first day. I just would have just made myself myself on up out of them.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

A wise woman once said, You know you can take too many showers.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

Somebody did say that.

SPEAKER_04 15:57

Y'all want to know who said that? My mama. Because she said, We take too many showers. Especially me. You know you can take too many showers, just dry your skin all out. I said, uh, we are fine. We are taking showers the way we need to.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

She said she left before he, you know, left.

SPEAKER_04 16:53

And if she's complaining about him not taking a shower, I mean he must have had a little stench.

SPEAKER_04 17:07

SPEAKER_01 17:34

And this person, same thing, like he said, the lady said the guy didn't don't brush his teeth, he only brushes his teeth one time a day, and that's at night. So he don't brush them.

SPEAKER_03 17:49

In the morning?

SPEAKER_01 17:50

Yeah, he don't brush them in the morning. And then he said his gums sometimes be hurting. So he got halatosis. Right. That's what Key said. He said, wait a minute. And so, so she said, of course they're not having sex because she don't want him breathing on top of her with a bad breath. And he don't, you know, brush.

SPEAKER_04 18:09

Why is she with him?

SPEAKER_01 18:10

SPEAKER_03 19:03

Well, what is it?

SPEAKER_01 19:04

Okay, they snowed in for a week. It's a married couple.

SPEAKER_03 19:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 19:07

You know, they start talking about what-if scenarios and all that good stuff, right?

SPEAKER_02 19:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 19:13

So while they're talking all that, all that good stuff, uh, Cabin Fever turns into deeper conversations.

SPEAKER_02 19:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Okay. He says, real casual, you know, if we had a baby, I think I still need my freedom.

SPEAKER_03 19:31

What do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_01 19:32

But I guess, you know, when you say freedom, I guess I still need to go hang out with the guys when I need to. Uh-huh. I can't be getting up all times of the night with the you know with the baby. Baby, yeah. I can't be changing no diapers.

SPEAKER_04 19:45

Oh, he can't change no diapers.

SPEAKER_01 19:46

SPEAKER_04 19:52

He can afford a nanny. Right.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

So if you got a nanny, you ain't gotta change no diaper.

SPEAKER_04 19:56

Because I ain't got to either.

SPEAKER_01 19:57

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 19:59

All right.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

You know? But anyway, this man, he was talking about, you know, I still want my freedom. She calmly didn't raise her voice. She just said, Well, then, you don't need a wife. And he was adamant about Come on now, you tripping. He don't need kills, right? When we have kids. Not if he said, but when we have kids, I'ma need my freedom.

SPEAKER_03 20:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:25

So what guess what they did? What you think they did?

SPEAKER_04 20:28

Okay, so he said, they still strengthen. They still strengthen. Oh, they probably would slept in separate bedrooms.

SPEAKER_01 20:36

They spent the rest of the storm in separate rooms texting. Who you think they was texting?

SPEAKER_04 20:43

They exes. Each other.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Mm-mm.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

Oh, divorce lawyers.

SPEAKER_01 20:49

Yep. They were texting the lawyers once the Wi-Fi came back. The snow melted and the marriage melted as well.

SPEAKER_03 20:56

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 20:57

SPEAKER_04 55:20

I am side eyeing. I'm ready today. Okay, so y'all know everybody was out doing their grocery thing. Now I wasn't going into the the grocery store I think Wednesday and Thursdays when everybody was really kind of like panicky. So I did my grocery order online. So I was gonna go to Publix and then you just pull up into your little parking space and get your food. But then there were people parked in those spaces that were not getting food. So, anyways, I tried to park as close as I could to the space. It wasn't an actual space, but it was like on the curb to the side. And it was just busy, you know, everybody was in trying to get their stuff, and so I'm here with my hazards on, and it was a lady on the other side with her hazards on. So if you were coming through, you kind of had to kind of go between us. And this woman was driving, and her man or husband or whomever, I guess he got frustrated with he's not even a driver for one. And he flipped me off, y'all, and that just ties my hide.

Looking Forward, Side Eye, And Gratitude

SPEAKER_04 56:20

And so I looked at him and I mouthed, so he knew what I was saying. You are so stupid. Yeah, and I guess that's not very kind of me. I shouldn't have matched his energy, but I made sure I gave him eye contact and he looked at me like I was gonna be scared, but uh brother, no, sir. I looked at him until he looked away. So, yeah, that is my side. It's not that serious to be flipping somebody off, and that's how people get hurt.

SPEAKER_01 56:49

That's I told you, you know, there's certain it's a certain kind of pick person that flip people off. And it we all know what they look like and who they are and how they buddy, them kind of it flip just that's the so lame. Yeah, uh flipping somebody off is like the weakest thing to do, but it still pisses people off.

SPEAKER_04 57:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:08

Um, sometimes for me, it makes me laugh at the person.

SPEAKER_04 57:11

Um That's why I should have laughed because they can do it. That probably would have made it boring.

SPEAKER_01 57:14

Oh, they would they would have made them upset because it because now it makes them now you're really you're really saying you're a weakly. That's what I'm weakly.

SPEAKER_04 57:21

I've got to lock that in my brain. The next time, just laugh at them.

SPEAKER_01 57:24

Yeah, I've done it so many times.

SPEAKER_04 57:26

I always think like that is a flipping somebody off. I mean, like, I would never flip anybody off.

SPEAKER_01 57:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 57:31

So, anyways, that is my side of the week for that man who felt that way. And then his wife or girlfriend, or whomever, sister, whoever the woman was, she looked so embarrassed that he was behaving that way.

SPEAKER_01 57:43

Well, she married him, or she with him, or she with him, whoever she was, or unfortunately, you with him.

SPEAKER_04 57:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:48

You know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you.

Five o'clock, it picked up just a little bit, but it was, you know, not it was not like it was in the fall. You know, in the fall it was a nice number of people. Um, but for whatever reason, man, it was bananas today. I well, I of course I know people thinking, I don't know when I'm gonna be able to get back in here. And then everybody, you know, they were seeing Like you can store up workouts.

SPEAKER_02 58:32

That's not how the body works.

SPEAKER_01 58:34

But still, you know how it is. You know how people do. Um And then everybody was like, depending on the time, they was probably, you know, shutting the city down. Yeah. And so they was trying to compact all the workouts, you know, everybody's trying to compact themselves in there. And um it was it was it was packed. It was crowded. And so, you know, I went into the sauna. The sauna was crowded, um, but I was sitting down, and pretty much if you're sitting down, then you know, you gotta, you know, the there are a few people that stand on the wall. But then they started coming in and people on the wall, and so they just still getting in there.

So now they just standing up, you know. So you got people on the wall, people sitting in the thing, and then you got people standing.

SPEAKER_02 59:15

And I'm like I would have got out of there. I would have felt claustrophobic.

SPEAKER_01 59:20

But I knew, you know, a lot of them were, you know, you could tell they don't know the sauna structure. So they're not gonna be able to handle it. So they got out quick. Banners.

I am grateful for um the opportunity to um get better uh each week and each day. There are there are things that you know I know I'm not good at, but um you know, even just in daily living, like just you know, like like we say with my little piles and stuff. But I'm just grateful at the fact that, you know, noticing them in certain ways or certain things, you know, just okay, eliminate this, eliminate that. I'm grateful for because there are some people that don't do it. And there's some people that can't do it because you know the mind won't let them, you know. And I do like I said, I get like that, but I and also I think I'm grateful for the fact that I'm about to start trying, you know, I gotta go to the psychiatrist first, and you know, then the psychologist, I mean then the therapist, because that's the the plan that my primary care physician um had set for

Gym Crowds, Sauna Etiquette, And Wrap-Up

SPEAKER_01 1:05:00

SPEAKER_04 1:05:12

Yeah, but I think I thought about it like when I was looking at the contract for therapists, like they probably have he probably has something similar to that. So when we try to reach him, he can't.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:22

He can't respond because of that because he couldn't take his he couldn't take his uh patients with him.

Like people had to go get generators and we're not. I mean, a generator would be good, but it's not necessary. Okay, if our food mess up, okay, mess up.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:53

Well, not even that. I don't know why no one thought about just put your food out. I mean, if you got maybe they don't have coolers, it's cheaper to go buy a cooler and put put your essential foods in the coolers and put them outside. Because it's cold, it's just as cold outside as in your refrigerator.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:09

The blessing of this time, it is gonna be very cold.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:11

It's gonna be cold. So yeah, you could you didn't need it, you didn't need a generator. You could just take some coolers and the things that are important for you to save, your meats and that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:21
