Episode 14: What is wrong with people?

Stacy and Carol open episode 14 of “Start a List,” thanking listeners for feedback, and announce one more episode before a short break ending season one. They recap a two-day Pigeon Forge trip, including stopping at Buc-ee’s, staying in a cozy place, and repeatedly encountering “ridiculous” people. They watch a nighttime “karaoke guy” performing near a trolley stop, visit The Island (shopping, key lime cookies, and a tram ride policed by strict “tram patrol”), and shop at Tanger Outlets where an overstimulating Michael Kors visit features a showy “purse lady.” At a winery patio, a close-talking Dollywood tram driver touches their cracker container lid, asks for relationship “vibes,” offers free Dollywood tickets, and her date later hugs them after learning they’re teachers; They also describe a driver who stops on a green arrow and end by asking, “what is wrong with people?”

Hey everybody, welcome to Start a List with Carol and Stacy. I'm Stacy. I am Carol. And you are tuning in for episode 14. Yay! And we are super happy that we've been getting some feedback from you guys. We we had a lot of positive comments on the childhood memories episode. If you haven't listened to that one, you can go back and listen to it again. We heard from one listener that said, I love listening to you guys. You're ridiculous. And I said, Thank you. Yes, that's a good description. We are ridiculous and we know it and we own it. Yeah. So for everybody that has been a faithful listener or watcher for our little first time attempt at making a podcast, we've had so much fun. This will be episode, I'm sorry, this will be episode 14. I sent the wrong number. I'm so sorry. No, you could say 14. I thought I said 13. I don't know. Yeah. We're gonna have this one and we're gonna do one more next week, and then we're gonna be on a small break, and that will be the official end of season one of Start a List with Carol and Stacy. Yeah, we'll be we'll be back shortly, maybe just like a couple weeks. We're not gone yet. No, you can't run us off that easy. Just to uh have a little break and you know work on content, although apparently, uh as long as there's people out there, we'll have plenty to talk about. That is true, girl. That is true. Uh, we were talking about as long as we're living and breathing. We were talking earlier, and I said, What is wrong with people? And she died laughing. I'm like, literally, I don't know. It's when I get out, it's really bad. And sometimes when I'm just at home minding my own business, it's still really bad. Well, we were we wanted to recap our trip that we meant. Well, but if you watched last week, we were in Pigeon Forge and we filmed our podcast up there, had so much fun, and then I was like, so many ridiculous things happened. We met so many ridiculous people, um, or encountered so many ridiculous people, I should say, that we were when you said that, what is wrong with people? I'm like, well, that encapsulates everything that we can talk about from our trip, a literally two-day period. Well, and and we had a really good time. Um, I slept like a loghog. Stacy was like, Yep, you hit that pillow and you were out. I wish I could sleep like that. Well, I don't normally do that. I don't I apparently I was in a I'm glad you're cozy. Yeah, it was very cozy. I loved where we stayed. It was super fun. Um, I'm definitely gonna go back, take my children and grandchild. We're already planning when we can go again. Yes, we're gonna go somewhere again. Yeah, we're gonna go there again, the two of us. But uh the funny, I thought it was funny. We you know, we talked and talked and talked about, you know, one more day, two more, two more days, one more day, and then the day came and we jumped in the car and took off like a rocket. Yes, we did. We were like, okay, we're we had it all planned out, our potty break, everything. We're like, all right, we're gonna wait until we get to Crossville to Bucky's to use the bathroom. If you've not been to Bucky's, find one and drive to it because it's it's it's uh an experience to behold. Oh, yeah. But uh we rolled up in there like it was Disney World, like we'd never seen anything like it. And uh apparently we we panic shocked because we bought a bunch of snacks and we had snacks in the car, and I don't know. Never know. I know. Well, you don't. You could get in a traffic jam and have the munchies. Yep, this is true. Carol introduced me to something new. I didn't try it. What was it called? An overbite? Overbite. It's a it's like a candy, right? It's a candy bar, but it's like a Reese's peanut butter cup thing, but it's so funny because it's got the beaver on the front with this little overbite, and I just love all their marketing. It's so funny. Well, people are in there like they've never been to a gas station. We were, I was, and was like, look, you know, and I mean they do actually have some really cute stuff, and um I mean they have everything like you could decorate your house, buy new clothes, groceries. Um you can get beef jerky, beef jerky from all over the world, apparently. They have a beef jerky bar, but um, yeah, shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a float, a cooler. I have to say, so when we left Bucky's, we had a really easy trip getting up there. The traffic was yeah, easy. We went on a Wednesday, so the first day was slightly more uneventful, but man, that second day just it it started at a number of now. No, it started that night. Oh, yeah, well, that's true. Yeah, I I was like, let's sit out on the balcony. And of course, it's set on a parkway and it's pretty busy. And we were looking around. I'm like, oh, look over there. There's you know, I'm like, what do you see what I see? And there was a dude like at the bus stop or the trolley stop, well, beside it. Uh-huh. But it looked like he had a microphone. And so Stacy came out there with her phone and videotaped it, and we we examined it closely to see if we were seeing what we thought we were. And tell him what we saw. I mean, he was we think he was singing, and he had what appeared to be a phone. And when he would, he would I mean he was we mentioned this briefly at the end of our last podcast because we said we had to go out and check and see if the guy was still there, but right, right. I think he was singing. I didn't see like a speaker. He wasn't close enough, he wasn't even on the sidewalk. And he was like in this grassy area next to this trolley stop, like you said, and he would just man, he was throwing his head back and lifted his arm up with a microphone, and and then it was like the song would end, and you'd see him like scrolling his phone, like he was looking for his next, you know, number or whatever. Well, it was we couldn't figure out if he didn't know what he was doing, nobody was giving him money. Yeah, no, we didn't know if he was preaching, traffic wasn't backing up that far, so like nobody was stopping to like observe. Nobody blew their horn, nobody blew their horn. I'm like, is he there every day? Yeah, give him a couple of honks, you know, when you go by. And and then we Stacy said, We need to call that hotel over there and see if they know he's out there. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what he was doing. Well, it he was either we didn't know if he was doing praise and worship. Yeah, he might be crapping. Yeah, he was kidding it. He was swinging his arms. It was if it was praise and worship, it was interesting. Yeah. But to to, I mean, he comes back night two, you guys. Like he's he's made a re he makes a reappearance night two when we get back to our hotel, but and we still don't know what he was doing. People that night walked right by him and never even gave a second glance. Literally, apparently he's a regular because they they were walking from a look like a gift shop to their hotel, never looked toward him. He didn't bother them or never stopped. He never stopped, he didn't have a a box out there. I think he's the self-appointed entertainer of the parkway in that area, and maybe they have different ones. I don't know. Could be he so anyway, so I like to give names to all the strangeness that I come across. So we're gonna call him the karaoke guy, karaoke guy. Yep, and he brought us some entertainment, so that was fun. Yeah, we watched him for it longer than we should have. And we'd go back in and we'd watch TV and be like, well, let's go see if he's still out there, and we'd walk back out there. Yeah, yeah. Well, we got up on Thursday morning, and man, we just hit the ground running, okay? Like we'd both, I didn't sleep great, but I don't sleep great a lot. Like it doesn't matter where I'm at, especially when I'm not at home. We had our lovely breakfast, we had our comfy shoes on, we had our purses, we were ready to go. We were we were prepared. We we're just gonna walk you through the day because that's how all of the ridiculousness started to happen. Yeah. Well, it started at breakfast, sort of. Like I got in the omelet line and she got in another line, and bless her heart. The there was a you remember when we talked about cafeteria ladies? Um, she wasn't she wasn't mean, but she just was over all of us, and she was like, What do you want? you know, and yeah, well, some people are just difficult. Like the lady in front of me was like, Well, I didn't want all my food on the same plate. Well, tell her that ahead of time, ma'am. You're holding all of us up, but anyways, yeah. So she got her own individual plates, whatever. Yeah. I mean, I sort of get it, but that's kind of yeah. Don't hold up the line. Yeah, your eggs can touch your potatoes. Yeah, but we did we had a great breakfast, and then we we got to the car and headed to the we were gone all day. Yeah. Headed where'd we go first? The well we went to the island first and uh had a fun time down there and did some shopping. We did go to the island first, uh-huh. Okay, okay. See, I can't we went to first, and it's gonna be important that you remember that we went there first. Oh, and one one out of three times, which we will get to that we ended up there. Um, bought the most delicious. I bought the most delicious key lime cookies, they're from Kermits, but their cookie brand is Birds. Bought an arm and a leg worth of these key lime powdered sugar cookies that were delicious. Yeah, they were giving out samples, of course. Of course, we got I couldn't decide which flavor if you get my drift that I like the most. Yes, so we had some samples that was yummy. We shopped around there, it was perfect weather. Yes. So the first thing, so we get ready to leave. And if you've been to the island, you can walk from the parking lot, right? They also have a tram. Tell people what it is before because I was clueless. I never heard of the island, didn't know what it was. It's an area off the parkway, and it's got a Margaritaville hotel attached to it, and it's just a shopping, dining, they've got rides, um, food, snacks. They've got a uh fountain show that happens, and right now they have a special dinosaur thing going on. So um really fun. It's free to visit. You it's free to park. You just park a ways back, and then you can walk over, or they have this tram. And um I have a foot that I had surgery on, and we both we've talked about it. Both of our feet aren't great. So we were trying to conserve our feet when we could. So we hopped on the tram. When we got ready to leave, I'm like, well, let's just because we were headed to the outlet malls next. And if you've been there, you know they're big, right? Yeah. So I said, Well, let's you were kept saying, Let's conserve your foot. We don't want to wear it out. We'll wait for the tram. It started hurting the day before. Well, because that was my fault. I had bad shoes on. That's okay. So we sit waiting for this tram and we're waiting and we're waiting. And like people had started to give up and walk, okay? And I'm like, man, we can, it'll be here soon. I mean, it can't be that much longer. And we waited. We wait. And I said to Carol, I said, you know, the second we get up and we're walking, that stinking tram's gonna come, and here we go, we've missed it. Finally, I think everybody else had jumped ship. No, we were the only two waiting on the tram. And I'm like, All right, let's go. So we get up and we cross over the tram lane. No more had we crossed over the tram lane to start walking. We we had crossed over a bridge too, and we were behind the pond. Here comes the tram. And I said, shoot! And Carol's like, you called it. So we turn around and start basically running fast walking back to the tram. We got on, we made it. Yeah, we did. And um, so we we we take off on the tram. Was this the time when we were getting off that the lady yelled at the man? When we stopped in the tram stop, yeah. Yeah, we stopped. We had to go from A B C D. We were parked at D, which is fine. But yeah, the there were two uh tram uh officials and they took their job very seriously, as they should. I mean, you have to practice safety when you're on a moving vehicle. And um the driver was doing a fine job and observing all the speed limits. And the the person on the walkie-talkie was or on the PA system was given instructions, you know, please stay seated, keep your arms and legs and items inside the tram while it's moving, do not stand up, all the things. And uh yeah, and so when we approached the the drop-off, the lady said, Do not uh get up until the tram stops. And then it had a message for the people waiting. It said, those of you waiting to board, do not board until all riders are off. You know, you want them to add you. She was gonna give them the go-ahead that they could get aboard. Yeah. So we we started to get up, and all of a sudden she screeched at somebody up front. Yeah, they had tried to get on, and she said, please wait, please wait to get on the tram. And and he jumped back, and then somebody else started, and she said, I said, please wait, and everybody was like, you know, we hopped off, we were like, Okay, let's get out of here. Yeah, get out of here, but she but you know, they weren't listening, so whatever. I don't know where they thought they were going because we were sitting in the seats. So we leave the island and off we go to the Tanger Outlets with the green roofs, the best because we can't shop where we live. Well, not like that. We can't, and it's more fun, like if you shop on vacation, it's like the money doesn't count, right? It's like free money, girl math. Yep. And so we had done a little bit of shopping the day before. We'd been to a couple stores, and then we had our stores we wanted to hit up. So we just start, you know, we're shopping, we're going in all the different stores. We had some really good luck that day, yeah, some really good deals and got some things we were looking for. And then was it the day before that we went to the Michael Cora store? That was the first day, wasn't it? Or that day it was the first day, yeah. And I just wanted to look at purses. I was kind of on the hunt for a new purse. I was like, we went in the Michael Core store, and I don't usually buy like a designer-ish bag, right? Now, most everyone knows that when you're shopping at an outlet store, most of the items there are made specifically for that outlet store. Okay. It's not like you're getting something that came off of, you know, Fifth Avenue in New York. Yeah. So I mean, still that brand, it's just usually things that they produce for that specific store or for the outlet. So we get in there and it's just me and Carol, and then this other lady and her husband in there. And then there's several women working in there. And of course they come over and greet us, blah blah di blah. I make a beeline to the back of the store where the sale items are, like the clearance. And I'm listening to the spiel. I'm going, okay, you know, they're saying extra 10% of them. Yeah, buy one, get one half in this corner, and our accessories are over here. And I'm I'm kind of walking away, but I'm listening. Stacy's gone. I just don't want to make eye contact with anybody. I just I don't mind to be greeted. I don't want to be bothered while I'm shopping. If I need help, I'm gonna ask you for it. Okay. Yes, yes. And I know they're trying to be hopeful and they're trained to do that, right? But I'm fine and I'm here to shop. So we get back there and I'm looking, and we're, you know, we're fine. Well, this lady that's shopping, she was flitting around the store like she thought she was a pretty woman, and that just was in there to just spend her poor husband, was probably broke because he was sitting there with a thousand bags on a bench. It was like Paris Hilton. She was she was pulling out dresses and shoes and talking to herself. Yeah, she was being like purposely like we were supposed to be impressed that she was shopping at the Michael Kors outlet. I'm like, okay, honey, we got it. So we weren't the women there kept bugging us, and I finally had had eat enough. I looked at Carol, I'm like, I'm I'm out. She said, I'm getting overstimulated, I can't do this. I couldn't. The lady I reached for a flip-flop, and she reached over me and grabbed the other one of the the pair I'm looking at. I'm like, it was just ridiculous. It was ridiculous. Yeah. So we we flew out of there. Yeah, I'd had it with her and the women working in there. I was like, okay, I get that you guys want to make a sale, but I couldn't even try on a purse for lack of people. I feel like they were just smothering me. But anyhow. Well, we'll call her the purse lady. The purse lady. So we've had the karaoke guy, the purse lady, and the tram director patrol. Tram patrol. So we shopped for a while, and then um I think we went to the Apple Barn and mosied around there for a little while. Um poor lady left her phone in the bathroom and we were in the bathroom. We just we contemplated what to do, but I was like, she's gonna come back looking for it. It's gonna be the last place. So, lady, I hope you found your phone. Yes. But when we got done there, um I had reached out to my sister because my I knew my nephew loved these cookies, and she's like, Can you get some more? I'm like, sure. And you were gonna look for that necklace again. So we decided we're gonna make a trek back to the island. Same day, same day, just save a trip the next day because we had a couple other things we wanted to do, but we were kind of needing a little boost, like we were starting to fizzle, right? So we weren't hungry, but we were we just needed a refresher or something. And if you don't listen to any part of this podcast, I'm gonna need you to listen to this next story. Okay. So I told Carol, I'm like, the last time my husband and I were up here, we stopped at a winery right on the parkway. We had some lovely, you know, wine tasting and whatnot. So I said, let's stop, we'll do that, get our second wind, yeah. So we did. We went in and there were quite a few people in there that day. Yeah. And uh I could never I don't remember going to one like this, and they're probably all like this, but it was very nice. I mean, had a little mini bar set up, and you could try what five for ten different tastings. It was five dollars each, and then five dollars. I didn't know this because I think the last time Harry and I were up there, I mean, they didn't offer us this, and if they did, we didn't, I don't remember it. But he said I overheard him telling the people ahead of us that they sold like cheese and crackers, like charcuterie type things that you could get out of the fridge, and you could buy a glass of wine and take it out onto their patio, and you got to keep the glass, it had the like the name of the winery, and so we were like, Oh, let's do that. We'll take a break because the weather was so nice, so pretty. So we get Carol buys these really yummy flavored seasoned crackers, they're like saltines, but bougie. You know, y'all had them the hot ranch butter crackers. So then I got like a nice pepperoni cheese tray, and then we each got a glass of wine, and we took it out. Had our few glasses, we did, and we sat off in a corner, and it wasn't anything fancy, it was a large patio. I mean, it sat there off the parking lot. You could see like some the woods behind us. Daisy looked over the hill and goes, Is that a trailer park? And I said, No, it's a it's a campground because it was all we were up high on them. We were so and so we sit in like a corner, and like Carol's on this nice little couch, and we had a table, and then I'm in a chair, and we had our food sitting on the thing, and we were enjoying our glass of wine and our charcuteries, and there was one other couple a ways away from us. That was it, that was all that was out there. Yeah, we went as far as you can get from the door to the door. We did that's where we're gonna be. Had we gone any farther, we'd have been out in the wilderness. Yeah, well, we were just trying. To talk and relax. So we're sitting there minding our own business. Yeah. See? There's your pro there's your first problem. And this I see this gentleman at this other table with this woman get up with his glass. And I'm like, oh, he must be going for a refill. He wants some more. The next thing I know, this is my perspective, and then I'll let Carol tell hers. This woman sitting with him gets up and walks over to where we're sitting. And I don't like people in my space. And this woman, I don't remember what she said because I kind of blacked out for a minute. I feel like she said, Can I ask y'all something? She leans over our food and drinks and picks up the lid that goes to the cracker container and basically is a man handling it to see if she has the same crackers that we do. He whips as she said, Did y'all buy the same flavor we did? And we're we're both going my face. I was like, uh ma'am. Stacy's backed up, like, first of all, you're touching our food. It was a little funky. And so I was like, Oh yeah. And she goes, ours are so hot we can't eat them. And I said, Really? They weren't that hot. They were not hot. And anyway, and then and she just started. Sh I don't even know. I'm kind of like, Yeah, I don't have any memory of the colour. Let me let me describe what I'm looking at. So, and I'm not judging anybody, and it was a lovely day, but I mean I had leggings and a sweatshirt on, so it wasn't like summer weather, okay? Yes, it was warmer, but she's got on like a a skirt, an athletic skirt, hiking skirt, some type of sandal, hiking sandals, yep, and they were I guess she had like a a t-shirt on, but then she had wrapped around her like a flannel plaid shawl, like a winter shawl with her the breeze was cool, so I mean, yeah, we had on the side. Right, and then her hair was like this sort of red dyed strawberry red, I don't know. It's the glitter, pink glitter nails. And listen, I love a glitter nail, okay? Uh-huh. But not on your cracker lid, not on my cracker lid that does not belong to you. And so she proceeds to say, um, what did she ask? Oh, she said, Y'all, y'all know, did y'all see the guy I'm with? And we were like, Yeah. Look, I'm trying to not engage. Carol's so nice. Stacy's just over there in a trance going, drink, you know, has her wine glass to her lip. She's just like, I'm gonna sip on this so I don't have to talk. Yeah. And she said, Did you see the guy I'm with? And I said, Yeah. And she goes, Well, do you mind if I ask you something? And I said, Whatever it is, the answer is no. Yeah, don't do it. I knew I said, Don't do it. Because I knew she was about to ask me for relationship advice, and I'm not your girl. Don't we don't know you? Well, you don't know me, and if you do know me, you wouldn't come to me for relationship advice. Okay. So this could have been she was just some woman. So the I think the only thing I said to her out of just politeness was, Where are you from? And then this was what it kind of all took off from here. She goes, Oh, I live here, I work at Dollywood, I drive one of the trams. I know, and we both were like, Oh, okay, that's a fun job, blah blah blah. The next thing you know, she's asking us, would we like free tickets to Dollywood? I immediately hit her with the no thank you. To which I said, Sure, I'd love to take my grandson. I'm like, I don't want to be tied to this stranger that has touched my cracker lid. I'm not, I just didn't want to do it. So and I'm seeing a uh two-day opportunity, a two-day $150 pass. Yeah. So I mean, why not? He came back and then they she trotted back over and she told Carol to give her a thumbs up. I had an assignment. She said, Would you do me a favor? And if you feel like I want to know, I feel like you could get a vibe. And I'm like, well, kind of far. I'm not sure if my vibe will reach, but okay. And she said, I if you if you have a good feeling about him, if you feel like we're a good couple, if we're gonna be able to be together and make it, I'll I'll look over and you give me a thumbs up, and I'm thinking, okay, how am I gonna do this? The guy is facing me and she's to my side. At one point you looked at me and you were like, you have I know I'm holding my wine glass. I said, I'm doing my doing my thumb up like it's I don't know. I don't know how to do the code. And then I got and then I was like, you know what? I didn't I didn't come here to work. I mean, I didn't need an assignment, I just came here to relax. And we don't know he could be a serial killer for all we know. He they had met online, she said. Yeah, we don't know. She yeah, they had met online. He was from where? Well, hold on. So yeah, from where I know I'm gonna tell how I found out his life story. So we've we wrap up our one glass of wine. I'm like, we're out of here, right? Let's gather up the stuff that's been mauled by her and get up, get to the eye. We had to get to the island, go back. We had to go back for more cookies. We did. So we get our stuff. We had to go back in. I was gonna pick up some things I'd bought. We're walking by. I want to do a non-stop. Have a lovely day. Nice to meet you. Never walk by. Just keep going, right? Yeah. A walk by. So I'm trying to do the walk by. She jumps up out of her chair and like grabs hold of Carol, and they make a beeline away from the table to have what she goes crying. Yeah, and here's left standing there with this random man who I don't know that I that she may or may not want to be in love with. So I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. So here I stand, I'm like, golly. So I'm like, well, so where are you from? You know, I start the small talk, blah, blah, blah. So in a nutshell, the man was from Wisconsin. He had driven down here. And I don't know. I felt like you were gone a while because I found out he was from Wisconsin. I found out he had a son in college. I found out he was never married to his son's mother, and that in Wisconsin, when you're not married to the mother, you're still on the hook for 50% of all this child support. So I don't know why this man is telling me all of this, first of all. She had grabbed me to because she had she was gonna exchange the or send me the code for some Dollywood tickets. And I'm like, okay. And I'm thinking, I wasn't thinking much of it, but then a few minutes later, I'm like, this might have been a bad idea, but whatever. So Stacey's over there talking. We come back to the table, and he said something like, Well, where are y'all from? Or something, or we said something like, Oh, we're retired. And he said, What'd you retire from? And we both said, Teaching, and he said, I'm a teacher. And we were like, Oh, oh my gosh, yeah. Out of his chair and embraces both of us, both of us. He goes, Let me love on you. Give me let me give you a hug. And I'm like, Thank you for your service. Like, we've been to war, and I'm going, meanwhile, I am I'm like, you've now now you've touched our cracker lid, and now you're touching me. Yeah, I don't know either one of you, okay? And she may I add she was a very close talker, very sweet, very sweet lady, but was in my space, face space. So I don't know. We chit chat, chit chat, chit chat, small talk, small talk, small talk. So I get the code. I'm time. I'm like, hey, we better go. But how did they come up the age guessing her age gave me? Oh, yeah. She while we were standing there, she said, uh, y'all don't look old enough to be retired. And we were like, Thank you, you know, right. Acting silly. And uh, so she said, Well, how old do y'all think I look? And I but I got nervous because y'all, I no offense. Whoopsie, she looked yeah, well done. She'd been in the sun a minute. The tram wind had not been kind. No, and we so I started low because I thought, gosh, if she's 28, I'm gonna be in trouble. And I said you started like what, 50 or something? I said no, I was like 40 something. I knew she wasn't, but I mean, what do you do? Like, that's a loaded question. It is a loaded question, and and so she goes, Oh, oh, I love you, I love you. And I'm like, You're not 40 something? I'm thinking, you're not younger. And anyway, finally we go back and forth, and she would looked at you and said, Well, how old do you think I am? And you said, Maybe 50. I mean, because we were we were just dumb. I mean, I didn't know, I was nervous. Well, she finally blurted out that she was 60 something, so we were safe. We had we shot low and she was thrilled that we thought she was younger, but yeah, so what he, however, was much younger. He was what 52, 52, yeah. So I don't know. Oh, and the last thing I said was y'all have a lovely evening because I wanted to go is proceeded to inform us they were going to the Hatfields and McCoys dinner show. I'm like, this is TMI. I'm never gonna see you guys again, I don't think, but I now know your entire life history and that you're dating. Yeah, so it was a lot, but we grabbed back to the car and we grabbed our purchases and flew out of there. We get out to the car and I proceed to start laughing so hard. I'm crying, I can't see straight. And I had already backed the car out, and I'm rolling, and Carol's like, you're rolling towards the ball. I was hard, I couldn't see. And we were we were rolling straight. I was laughing, and I was like, Why do we attract? Like, we were just sitting there yet again, just trying to enjoy the weather and mind our business. And she ran over and grabbed our cracker lid. But I will say that go ahead. I did get I did get 11 messages from her the next morning with all the QR codes. So I do plan on taking the tickets with an update. My little my little sweet cart to Dollywood, but he unfortunately had had a mishap with his house. I mean, she had to do a novel about he had to rush out of town. He had to rush back home. He pipes had burst up in Wisconsin, and we were like wine laughing. Okay, yeah. But that then we did we left there and headed to the winery, to the island. We did park, waited on the tram, got in, I got the keys, you got your necklace, and then I did. I was looking for a little necklace, a little puffy. We'd already bought it once, and we had to go buy a ginger one. Oh, yeah. No, that was the the third time. Because I remember I bought something and I tried it on, and then yeah, but I think you bought the necklace when we went the second. Well, whatever. It was a cute little initial from Roman, my it was very cute. Yeah, and so I wanted to get I had shown her a picture and she said, Oh, I want one. So another time we went back, but uh yeah, we did. We went back and got the cookies. We did. We I bought a lot this time. She bought what six bags? No, three. I bought three the first time, three the second. Oh, that's right. In in my defense, I did give a bag away. As a gift, it was a very nice gift. Yes. Um, okay, our time is about to be up, and I know we don't have that much more to talk about, but we do have a couple things. Well, but it's gonna cut me off here in a minute. There was the uh one lady when we were talking about what's wrong with people, the one lady that we were waiting at a red light. We were trying to go to the island and we were in the turning lane to turn left behind a minivan. And that green arrow comes up, right? And the car starts to move, and I'm like, okay. And then it just stopped. She put on her brakes and we sat there and then the little green light went away and we missed it. And Carol and I just lost our minds. We were like, what is happening? Well, she started to go and then she stopped. I'm like, does she not know what the green arrow means? I mean, it's we and so when it got time to turn again, I thought, I'm gonna, she goes, You're gonna honk at her this time if she doesn't go. And I'm like, Yes, I'm ready this time. I was so confused. No, I was confused the first time. I didn't know what she was doing. I don't know if she was on her phone or what. Probably so in this, yeah. It reminded me like when I said to Stacey earlier, what's wrong with people? I mean, I went to the bank earlier and looked over at the there was an oil change in bay or place, and the worker, the woman worker is in a full backbend in the parking lot, and I'm going, What is happening? And I was like, Okay, we've got the the karaoke guy, the no left on green, the cracker lady, and now we got the back bend lady and the tram patrol. Well, okay, is that everything? I don't I think I don't know. But if anybody can answer that question for us, please write in and tell us what is wrong with people. Uh exclude excluding ourselves and we already know we're ridiculous, so you don't have to remind us. Yeah. And proud of it.
