I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:17):

cheaper.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We need to get the military involved.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Anyway.

Good gracious.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
What else happened we did?
I'll touch on this real quickwe did go to Dollywood.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh yeah, how was your trip?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It was good we did one day at the park, the
amusement park.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
With the rides.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Most people were amused.
Braxton rode almost every ride,carter rode everything twice.
Wow, he'll ride anything, uh,and we did the water park how
was that?
Day two water park was prettygood.
I wasn't too excited about it,I was like ants.
Yeah, you know.
(02:21):
You know how I feel about waterparks.
Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You got to get in.
Yeah, is it a bandaid?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's just a group mold check, so you're just
standing in line being like,yeah, but anyway, yeah, it was
good.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And then it was pretty crowded, which here's a
little tip If you're going toDollywood and you're going to
hit up, Splash Country.
Is that what it's called?
I don't know.
I was trying to think.
I think that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Splash Country.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, I will say, take you some towels.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yes, we thought it was like.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I want to say every other water park in the world
that has like, I feel likeeverybody has towels.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah Right, kind of like the Y or whatever.
Yeah, you grab a towel, so wewalk in.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I'm oblivious and we're just walking to get some
seats.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I don't know why we got seats next to the wave pool.
I guess there was some shadethere.
I don't do wave pools.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But I like watching other people act like they've
never seen a wave.
Maybe they haven't, but it'skind of funny.
But Robin looks at me and shesaid we didn't bring towels, did
we?
And then we both startedlooking around all panicked.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They got towels and then we were like nobody's
towels match.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This is just hodgepodge we're gonna have to
drip out of here yeah no, we go.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Robin went and bought .
Dollywood towels the cheapesttwo she could get.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think one had a butterfly spoiler alert one had
some rhinestones, one had ablack bear or whatever, oh yeah
so she's like I just got two.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I was like, yeah, I will air dry yeah um, but it was
fun nice so I think we had.
They had a pack where you getlike three days for the price of
two.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It was day three and we're about to hit the road so
we asked the boys hey, we goy'all want to do the water park
again, we'll do the amusementpark again.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'd already voted in my head and heart that I wanted
to go home and thankfully theywere like I'm good.
Really they didn't want to goback.
They were worn out.
Okay, because it was two fulldays.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, yeah man.
Did you see any bears in EastTennessee?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, if I'd have seen a bear on a slide, I would have
lost it.
No, we didn't see bears thistime.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I felt like I just saw on the news there was one in
Huntsville.
Maybe that's old news.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I think.
So I don't know, but it was fun.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, good deal.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'll just keep updating.
We got home and Braxton starteddriving school.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh, I remember that.
How did that go?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It went good Four and a half days.
Yeah, we didn't know he wasgoing to have to drive the first
day, but he drove two hours thefirst day.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
One hour of that was like in a monsoon.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This past Monday.
I remember that.
Yeah, it was pouring down.
You couldn't even see.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
They basically just take the instructors on their
errands, which makes sense.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, he took the guy to his house Guy had to
grab his lunch.
Yeah, and then they run toTarget.
Go through the drive cleanerand drive through right here.
Take a left.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, let's get the oil changed yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh my gosh, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But what's not funny is I drop him off Monday, his
first day of driving school, andthen I go pick up her dogs, mo
and Ron Just kidding, kylo andRay are sweet.
And so we're driving home andI'm through and there's, we have
(06:05):
roundabouts in tennessee sowe're coming up to.
I'm coming up to a roundaboutand I see a car and it says
franklin driving school.
But I just saw driving school.
I didn't see the franklin partat first yeah so I was like
there's a driving school caryeah they were on the outside
(06:26):
lane and the roundabout we'reboth going straight.
So I thought so we're both goingstraight, right, allegedly, so
I'm on the inside lane yeah theywere going super slow yeah I
was like this person's going totake forever.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh.
So I just go you know, I justpick up my speed a little bit
yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Last second.
The girl was like you know what?
I'm going to go left.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Uh-uh.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And right into the right side of my car.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But I didn't see who was driving and I didn't see
Franklin.
I just know it's a drivingschool car and Braxton just
started.
So I get hit and I'm like, ifthat's my kid, I'm going to lose
it.
Yeah, but it wasn't, it was alittle 15-year-old girl had a
wreck yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
In the driving school car.
How would you like to be thatinstructor going back to the
driving center or the officeafter that go round?
Oh, I talked to them.
So I didn to them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I didn't know this until later.
I thought they had a break overthere on their side.
Yeah, they got a steering wheel.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, they can take over.
Oh, it's her fault.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But I didn't know that.
So I said can I go talk to thedriver?
Because we were taking picturesand exchanging information yeah
.
Because I thought she'd bebawling.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah right, you know I was driving to school, You're
15.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I was like hey, don't worry about it.
I was like roundabouts are kindof weird you know it's not your
fault, or it was our fault.
But I was like it's totallyyour fault I didn't for life
from roundabouts, but I guessshe wasn't upset, because I
guess the instructor was likethat's my bad, oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So anyway, yeah, so sorry Did you have.
Like, can you still drive it?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, still drivable, both doors open.
Oh, no but the guy at thedriving school that owns the
driving school.
Yep, super nice.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Free driving school for your second kid.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I told him we got another kid on the way.
He's like it's going to be adiscount, maybe free.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Good yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, so I guess that goes into.
This morning I had to call theinsurance company which, if you
ever don't feel stupid, call aninsurance company Because they
made me feel so dumb.
I talked to them.
I talked to one lady twice, andthen I talked to another lady,
(08:52):
and then today I talked to a guynamed Paul.
I'm not going to say theinsurance company, yeah, but it
rhymes with Nate Charm and itwas painful.
Even if they were polite, it wascrazy painful.
Even if they were polite, itwas crazy painful.
If you've had a wreck, they sayso.
I called them, I said all right, and here's I don't like
(09:16):
getting quotes, I'm not going togo all over town to get the
cheapest price.
Number one, it's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So I went to one place.
It was recommended.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Super polite Guy was a Bama fan.
I was like boom.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
This is in the stars.
This is where I'm supposed toget fixed.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So I'm like I'll just take it there.
So I call State Farm, oops.
And then the person goes, ohwell, you can take it wherever
you want to get it fixed.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And they said but if they're not in our network and
they try to charge more?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
then we may not cover that More.
What which, the way you saythat means I can't take it
wherever I want to go.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, right, if I want to use the insurance that
I'm paying for, which is whywe're on the phone.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Right, so I'm like, but I've already taken it there
and I'm waiting on a quote.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And he was like well, they may be more expensive than
some places, and I was like Iunderstand.
And then I said well, how do wedo this?
I was like do you need to comelook at the car.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And give me a price.
And then when I get the quote,I go whoa, those don't match up.
Yeah, she said no, when youdrop it off to get it fixed,
we'll send a rep out to take alook.
And I said but if I drop it offat a place that's going to be
really expensive and your repcomes and says this is too
(10:47):
expensive, do I have to go backand get my car?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And then do all this again and go somewhere cheaper.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And she was like well , we don't know how much it'll
cost until we go look at it.
I was like, well, can you lookat it?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
In my driveway.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Before I take it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Your car insurance.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So I talked to the dude again today and I am
scheduled to take it June 24th 2o'clock.
I'm supposed to take my car.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And he said and they're going to send somebody
out to look at it when I drop itoff for repairs.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
The efficiency is just overwhelming, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
yeah, and I was like, so will y'all let me know if
it's too right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What's the?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
limit.
I said well, and he was likewell, sometimes they won't send
somebody out, it'll be like avirtual thing.
I said well, they've alreadytaken pictures and they already
have a quote.
Because, like can you just getthe quote now and see what the
price is before I drop it off.
He's like.
He's like no, just drop it off,we'll send somebody out, and as
long as it all works out, thenyou get it fixed there and I'm
(11:55):
like what does work out mean?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
what is the ceiling on what you will cover?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
and they don't know till they look at it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
This is like dog chasing its tail.
It seems so backwards it is.
That's horrible.
I would not want to have to saythat to people calling in with
an accident claim every day.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
But the kicker is, I drop it off at two.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, you're out of the car.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
On June 24th and Enterprise is supposed to have
me a car there, right, so I havea car to drive home.
But he said wait untileverything checks out, you know,
before you call Enterprise.
I'm like, well, how do I know?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, when can I hit the first domino and which stack
am I using?
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like this hinges on this, butthey won't know this, and this
is what's wrong with the worldbut this is yeah, and the kicker
is I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I didn't ask the place like how long.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
There's no point asking how long it's gonna take
oh no, to get it fixed it mightbe two weeks, because is the
part on back order?
Do they have supply chainissues?
But then I'm supposed to go.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
We're supposed to drive, drive on our trip.
So then we got a rental car,and then I got to drop my dogs,
so can I throw my dogs?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
in the rental car.
It's going to have dog hair init.
Yeah, anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's been so long since I've had like a fender
bender.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, it takes so long to get that, all that stuff
closure on it like literal,literal closure, like livy had
somebody hit her car two yearsago we had to rent a car and we
let her use our car because itwas on our insurance policy,
wasn't her fault.
Somebody messed up the wholeright side of her car, so same
(13:52):
kind of thing.
We had to get it.
We took it one place where theyweren't going to cover it, so
we had to go somewhere else.
Yada yada, it was just alocation difference or something
Same company, made no sense.
Then we got the rental car fromEnterprise.
Check out your rental car andtake pictures.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh, before.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Because they just.
We were in a hurry, we needed acar.
We didn't care, they weresupposed to just have it.
We just went and picked it up.
I didn't notice, but at the topabove, where the door shuts, it
looked like the frame had beenbent, like somebody trying to
get in it, or rig it or break init and there was rust on that
(14:31):
and I was like that's weird.
and the person who checked usout was like you're good, you
know, you know all this.
Like it's no, pretend like it's1992 and you're renting a car
at the birmingham airport andyou walk around it with a
clipboard and or your phonesince it's 2025 and take
pictures of every mark becausewe had to go through months of
like this wasn't our fault.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
They were going to like.
You damaged this and I was likedude A, it's already rusted.
How would I have damaged it andhad time for it to rust?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Right, it was weird what I'm going to do, because
we're going to have to take atrip, so I guess I'll just tell
Enterprise, like look, I need abigger car.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, and if there's a difference in size, you might
have to pay it.
Well, the other people have to.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They're supposed to give you something equivalent to
what you got.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, you have a big car, so if you got, an SUV.
You're like that's kind of whatI need yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But I've only done it a couple of times.
But if we're taking a trip I'llpay that out of pocket and just
do the like.
Do you want to do oursupplemental?
Because they have an extrainsurance thing.
And if I'm driving all the wayto the beach and back and I got
two dogs in it and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I'm like I'll pay it, cover it.
Because when you get it back, Idon't yeah, cover it if a small
asteroid hits it.
I want every possible coverage.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
If I roll in here and it's like planes, trains and
automobiles or Tommy Boy car,I'm dropping the keys off.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm out.
Do you take diners club?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The gas tank's in the back seat?
Yeah, I don't even mess with it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I know, but it's fine when was this.
Monday Not this Monday, butlast Monday.
Oh, when was this Monday?
Not this Monday, but lastMonday, oh no man.
So but yeah, it's fine Shoot,which I wish.
I wish I had like an AceVentura or like a beater car.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, because then if it happened, I'd be like tell
you what?
Just give both my boys freedriving school.
Give me a thousand bucks, callit even.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, under the table .
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We're done with this we'll be done with this yeah.
I have money in my pocket.
Both my doors still work yeah,right so sorry but no, I kind of
which, when you get the quoteyou're like get ready.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
What strap in?
Yeah.
Or they'll say you know, we hadsomething happen with a car, we
thought it was going to befixable.
And they're like, yeah, theframe has been, it's totaled out
oh yeah, I've had that I waslike I'm sorry, say what.
You know what I mean, which insome ways is like well, you got
to find something else, andsometimes it's easier than
trying to get it fixed, butstill that's a is like well, you
got to find something else, andsometimes it's easier than
(17:12):
trying to get it fixed, butstill that's a gut punch too.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, when you got to get a whole new car, you're
like what, yeah, what, don'tcall people I did.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm sorry, yeah, I still took.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I said all that.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, I still don't know what's going on.
Well, their policy is notspecific.
You know they're saying, well,if it's too much, but they're
not giving you any.
They're not.
They're not saying you know, ifit's body work above eight
thousand dollars, we'll cover upto whatever but it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You said eight thousand dollars, because that's
it's probably what it's gonnabe.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh was it.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, that's crazy, but the one thing I asked one
lady I said I have a question.
If I took it to seven differentplaces to get quotes, which one
would I take it to for you tocome inspect it at?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Just the one I choose , or the cheapest, or Right what
?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I get all these quotes.
Where are you?
Yeah, come to my house, yeahyou're an engine.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Why do you have to talk to the body shop guy to be
like to figure it out?
I don't think you're needed.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm sorry yeah, it's a little wonky, it's not an
exact metaphor, but it feelslike when your parent takes you
to I don't know, let's say themall or Walmart, and this is not
my personal, but like okay, youcan get a bathing suit or you
can get a new pair of jeans, oryou can get a new pair of tennis
shoes, right, and they're likeokay, but how much?
(18:49):
Well, we'll just have to tell uswhat store you're at and we'll
have to come.
We'll just have to see howexpensive it is, I know.
But what if eight stores havethose shoes?
You're still not telling me aprice.
I know, but just see what youlike, try on some even.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, and when you drop?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
But can I have $100?
Can I have $50?
Can I have $100?
Can I have $50?
Can I have $20?
Will you cover the $150 hokas?
What are we talking about?
Well, we'll just have to sendmom down there.
You just let us.
You know what I mean.
Give me something I can print.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And it also sounds like if they gave you a certain
amount for jeans, they alsowouldn't say well, we'll see
what we can afford.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So just when you drop them off, to get them altered.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah, but what?
If I don't want these, thenI've already bought them and we
still don't know what the priceis for said bought jeans like
this is crazy yeah now I ain'tgot no pants on and I got a
rental car.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Because they're gonna reschedule all this, I'm going
to candy craze or whatever I'mso sorry.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, I don't yeah, because we just wrapped stuff up
and then, god forbid, somebodyhas an injury at least, at least
nobody's necks hurting you know, that's a that's a whole
another thing.
Well, we still haven't gotten abill from your provider, so we
don't know if we can cover that.
They're still asking us aboutsomething because one kid got in
a fender bender and their neckhurt for a bit and it was fine.
(20:15):
But like we went to onedoctor's visit and like I think
we even paid for it becausewhatever we paid the deductible
and it was just like yep, he'sgood, so I wasn't going to fool
with it because it wasn't goingto be like an ongoing treatment
and they're still sendingletters that say we still don't
have your and I've called.
They're like it's closed.
I'm like well, can you turn theletter maker off, because I get
(20:37):
one of these every six weeks.
It makes me nervous and quitwasting toner and postage anyway
.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh my gosh it's a whole thing.
We.
Sorry, this is ranty, but Iwill say the one lady I talked
to, wow, I was walking dogs whenshe called me, so I was like
can I?
Call you back at this number.
She was like yeah, no, I can't.
Because I called it and I waslike this is Verizon, this
number is so.
(21:08):
Then I had to call do all thisback work?
Nobody knew.
I said I'm trying to reach, soI go back.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I look at the card, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So I call the number and Judy answered the phone.
I was like, hey, Judy, I'mtrying to get in touch with this
lady.
Speaker 2 (21:25):

I said it kind of medium, yeah,kind of right, slow, fast.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I was like yeah, I'm trying to get in touch with fran
shell I don't know if her nameis fran shell or fran shell or
fran shell and she just didn'ttell you the last name doesn't
matter, because judy didn't knowwho that was, and then she
transferred me to addison, andaddison didn't know who fran
shell was either because addisonjust graduated from high school
(21:57):
such a young name.
Yeah, uh, talked to her for aminute, but yeah, and it was
just but the friend.
When I did finally get in touchwith fran shell, I talked to
her for 47 minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
At one point she said I think you're confusing
yourself, which I was, and Ialmost said, well ditto, because
she was the one that was.
Like she kept trying to get meoff the phone.
She's like okay, if there's anyother questions.
Oh, I have questions.
What are you talking about?
(22:36):
Like she?
Would do this long thing andI'm like, so am I dropping it
off?

there.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, I'm going to know I don't have a car when I
get there and then you're goingto, yeah.
There's a part of me is like Iguess I just go with their
person.
That's why people go with theirperson, I guess.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Because they don't want to fool and they've got to
hear that they got somehandshake deal with.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Well that's why they want to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I know Because you're like is the paint going to look
different?

Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Which I guess nothing wrong with Mako.
I don't know who works at Mako.
What is Mako?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's a paint job for like $99.
They used to advertise.
Speaker 2 (23:24):

Speaker 2 (23:28):
We had oh.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Using Mako.
Oh, and he got the, they didn'tpaint the inside of the trunk
or like so when you would openthe trunk.
It'd be like yellow.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, oh right, but the rest of the car was blue,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Maybe they have like an upgrade.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm guessing it's not , but anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:47):

But 15 year old teenage girl yeah, and your
kid's doing the same thing rightnow, so, yeah, that like splits

anybody right now so when Ipicked him up, I got to pick him
up first day of driving school.

school looking at my car?

I called my insurance company and before they did
something they were like well,it's still going to show up,
even though it's not your fault,it's going to show up that
there was some activity.
Speaker 2 (27:18):

is not.
But if it's just, you know, youtrust the people.

It's the one with two steering wheels.
Say what, is it a carnival rideor something from Dollywood?
Speaker 1 (29:54):

Yes.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And you're going straight.
Just get in the right lane,yeah, because they're not going
to turn into you.

Should have gave that buffer.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Oh, my goodness, which then you're kicking
yourself.
Speaker 1 (30:52):

.
A helicopter, yeah.
Some thread yeah, can youimagine?
I didn't how scared I mean mydog used to shake all the way to
the vet and it's five minutesfrom my house like it had to be
freaking out I will say I didn'tread any of the uh article.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I guess he's back and eating again.
I don't know know, he lookedkind of bored when I saw the
little video and he's beingtransported on a helicopter
which I will say kind of feltlike overkill.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I don't know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
couldn't you just I still don't understand why they
didn't.
You know, as you said lastpodcast, get the zookeepers in
there with some tranquilizers.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I mean, you have horse trailers.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I mean maybe just you could put them on a flatbed tow
truck and be fine, he's asleep.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Ford F-150, horse trailer.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, driving how much money they would save yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
All these cops and people looking for That'll be
cheaper.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We need to get the military involved.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Good gracious.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
What else happened we did?
I'll touch on this real quickwe did go to Dollywood.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh yeah, how was your trip?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It was good we did one day at the park, the
amusement park.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
With the rides.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Most people were amused.
Braxton rode almost every ride,carter rode everything twice.
Wow, he'll ride anything, uh,and we did the water park how
was that?
Day two water park was prettygood.
I wasn't too excited about it,I was like ants.
Yeah, you know.
(02:21):
You know how I feel about waterparks.
Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You got to get in.
Yeah, is it a bandaid?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's just a group mold check, so you're just
standing in line being like,yeah, but anyway, yeah, it was
good.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And then it was pretty crowded, which here's a
little tip If you're going toDollywood and you're going to
hit up, Splash Country.
Is that what it's called?
I don't know.
I was trying to think.
I think that's right.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Splash Country.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, I will say, take you some towels.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yes, we thought it was like.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I want to say every other water park in the world
that has like, I feel likeeverybody has towels.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah Right, kind of like the Y or whatever.
Yeah, you grab a towel, so wewalk in.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I'm oblivious and we're just walking to get some
seats.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I don't know why we got seats next to the wave pool.
I guess there was some shadethere.
I don't do wave pools.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But I like watching other people act like they've
never seen a wave.
Maybe they haven't, but it'skind of funny.
But Robin looks at me and shesaid we didn't bring towels, did
we?
And then we both startedlooking around all panicked.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They got towels and then we were like nobody's
towels match.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This is just hodgepodge we're gonna have to
drip out of here yeah no, we go.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Robin went and bought .
Dollywood towels the cheapesttwo she could get.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think one had a butterfly spoiler alert one had
some rhinestones, one had ablack bear or whatever, oh yeah
so she's like I just got two.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I was like, yeah, I will air dry yeah um, but it was
fun nice so I think we had.
They had a pack where you getlike three days for the price of
two.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It was day three and we're about to hit the road so
we asked the boys hey, we goy'all want to do the water park
again, we'll do the amusementpark again.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'd already voted in my head and heart that I wanted
to go home and thankfully theywere like I'm good.
Really they didn't want to goback.
They were worn out.
Okay, because it was two fulldays.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, yeah man.
Did you see any bears in EastTennessee?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, if I'd have seen a bear on a slide, I would have
lost it.
No, we didn't see bears thistime.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I felt like I just saw on the news there was one in
Huntsville.
Maybe that's old news.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I think.
So I don't know, but it was fun.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, good deal.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'll just keep updating.
We got home and Braxton starteddriving school.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh, I remember that.
How did that go?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It went good Four and a half days.
Yeah, we didn't know he wasgoing to have to drive the first
day, but he drove two hours thefirst day.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
One hour of that was like in a monsoon.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This past Monday.
I remember that.
Yeah, it was pouring down.
You couldn't even see.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
They basically just take the instructors on their
errands, which makes sense.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, he took the guy to his house Guy had to
grab his lunch.
Yeah, and then they run toTarget.
Go through the drive cleanerand drive through right here.
Take a left.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, let's get the oil changed yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh my gosh, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But what's not funny is I drop him off Monday, his
first day of driving school, andthen I go pick up her dogs, mo
and Ron Just kidding, kylo andRay are sweet.
And so we're driving home andI'm through and there's, we have
(06:05):
roundabouts in tennessee sowe're coming up to.
I'm coming up to a roundaboutand I see a car and it says
franklin driving school.
But I just saw driving school.
I didn't see the franklin partat first yeah so I was like
there's a driving school caryeah they were on the outside
(06:26):
lane and the roundabout we'reboth going straight.
So I thought so we're both goingstraight, right, allegedly, so
I'm on the inside lane yeah theywere going super slow yeah I
was like this person's going totake forever.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh.
So I just go you know, I justpick up my speed a little bit
yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Last second.
The girl was like you know what?
I'm going to go left.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Uh-uh.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And right into the right side of my car.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
But I didn't see who was driving and I didn't see
Franklin.
I just know it's a drivingschool car and Braxton just
started.
So I get hit and I'm like, ifthat's my kid, I'm going to lose
it.
Yeah, but it wasn't, it was alittle 15-year-old girl had a
wreck yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
In the driving school car.
How would you like to be thatinstructor going back to the
driving center or the officeafter that go round?
Oh, I talked to them.
So I didn to them.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I didn't know this until later.
I thought they had a break overthere on their side.
Yeah, they got a steering wheel.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, they can take over.
Oh, it's her fault.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But I didn't know that.
So I said can I go talk to thedriver?
Because we were taking picturesand exchanging information yeah
.
Because I thought she'd bebawling.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah right, you know I was driving to school, You're
15.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I was like hey, don't worry about it.
I was like roundabouts are kindof weird you know it's not your
fault, or it was our fault.
But I was like it's totallyyour fault I didn't for life
from roundabouts, but I guessshe wasn't upset, because I
guess the instructor was likethat's my bad, oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
So anyway, yeah, so sorry Did you have.
Like, can you still drive it?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, still drivable, both doors open.
Oh, no but the guy at thedriving school that owns the
driving school.
Yep, super nice.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Free driving school for your second kid.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I told him we got another kid on the way.
He's like it's going to be adiscount, maybe free.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Good yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, so I guess that goes into.
This morning I had to call theinsurance company which, if you
ever don't feel stupid, call aninsurance company Because they
made me feel so dumb.
I talked to them.
I talked to one lady twice, andthen I talked to another lady,
(08:52):
and then today I talked to a guynamed Paul.
I'm not going to say theinsurance company, yeah, but it
rhymes with Nate Charm and itwas painful.
Even if they were polite, it wascrazy painful.
Even if they were polite, itwas crazy painful.
If you've had a wreck, they sayso.
I called them, I said all right, and here's I don't like
(09:16):
getting quotes, I'm not going togo all over town to get the
cheapest price.
Number one, it's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So I went to one place.
It was recommended.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Super polite Guy was a Bama fan.
I was like boom.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
This is in the stars.
This is where I'm supposed toget fixed.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So I'm like I'll just take it there.
So I call State Farm, oops.
And then the person goes, ohwell, you can take it wherever
you want to get it fixed.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
And they said but if they're not in our network and
they try to charge more?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
then we may not cover that More.
What which, the way you saythat means I can't take it
wherever I want to go.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, right, if I want to use the insurance that
I'm paying for, which is whywe're on the phone.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Right, so I'm like, but I've already taken it there
and I'm waiting on a quote.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And he was like well, they may be more expensive than
some places, and I was like Iunderstand.
And then I said well, how do wedo this?
I was like do you need to comelook at the car.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And give me a price.
And then when I get the quote,I go whoa, those don't match up.
Yeah, she said no, when youdrop it off to get it fixed,
we'll send a rep out to take alook.
And I said but if I drop it offat a place that's going to be
really expensive and your repcomes and says this is too
(10:47):
expensive, do I have to go backand get my car?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And then do all this again and go somewhere cheaper.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And she was like well , we don't know how much it'll
cost until we go look at it.
I was like, well, can you lookat it?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
In my driveway.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Before I take it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Your car insurance.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So I talked to the dude again today and I am
scheduled to take it June 24th 2o'clock.
I'm supposed to take my car.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And he said and they're going to send somebody
out to look at it when I drop itoff for repairs.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
The efficiency is just overwhelming, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
yeah, and I was like, so will y'all let me know if
it's too right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What's the?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
limit.
I said well, and he was likewell, sometimes they won't send
somebody out, it'll be like avirtual thing.
I said well, they've alreadytaken pictures and they already
have a quote.
Because, like can you just getthe quote now and see what the
price is before I drop it off.
He's like.
He's like no, just drop it off,we'll send somebody out, and as
long as it all works out, thenyou get it fixed there and I'm
(11:55):
like what does work out mean?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
what is the ceiling on what you will cover?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
and they don't know till they look at it.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
This is like dog chasing its tail.
It seems so backwards it is.
That's horrible.
I would not want to have to saythat to people calling in with
an accident claim every day.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
But the kicker is, I drop it off at two.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, you're out of the car.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
On June 24th and Enterprise is supposed to have
me a car there, right, so I havea car to drive home.
But he said wait untileverything checks out, you know,
before you call Enterprise.
I'm like, well, how do I know?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, when can I hit the first domino and which stack
am I using?
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like this hinges on this, butthey won't know this, and this
is what's wrong with the worldbut this is yeah, and the kicker
is I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I didn't ask the place like how long.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
There's no point asking how long it's gonna take
oh no, to get it fixed it mightbe two weeks, because is the
part on back order?
Do they have supply chainissues?
But then I'm supposed to go.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
We're supposed to drive, drive on our trip.
So then we got a rental car,and then I got to drop my dogs,
so can I throw my dogs?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
in the rental car.
It's going to have dog hair init.
Yeah, anyway, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's been so long since I've had like a fender
bender.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, it takes so long to get that, all that stuff
closure on it like literal,literal closure, like livy had
somebody hit her car two yearsago we had to rent a car and we
let her use our car because itwas on our insurance policy,
wasn't her fault.
Somebody messed up the wholeright side of her car, so same
(13:52):
kind of thing.
We had to get it.
We took it one place where theyweren't going to cover it, so
we had to go somewhere else.
Yada yada, it was just alocation difference or something
Same company, made no sense.
Then we got the rental car fromEnterprise.
Check out your rental car andtake pictures.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh, before.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Because they just.
We were in a hurry, we needed acar.
We didn't care, they weresupposed to just have it.
We just went and picked it up.
I didn't notice, but at the topabove, where the door shuts, it
looked like the frame had beenbent, like somebody trying to
get in it, or rig it or break init and there was rust on that
(14:31):
and I was like that's weird.
and the person who checked usout was like you're good, you
know, you know all this.
Like it's no, pretend like it's1992 and you're renting a car
at the birmingham airport andyou walk around it with a
clipboard and or your phonesince it's 2025 and take
pictures of every mark becausewe had to go through months of
like this wasn't our fault.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
They were going to like.
You damaged this and I was likedude A, it's already rusted.
How would I have damaged it andhad time for it to rust?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Right, it was weird what I'm going to do, because
we're going to have to take atrip, so I guess I'll just tell
Enterprise, like look, I need abigger car.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, and if there's a difference in size, you might
have to pay it.
Well, the other people have to.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They're supposed to give you something equivalent to
what you got.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, you have a big car, so if you got, an SUV.
You're like that's kind of whatI need yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But I've only done it a couple of times.
But if we're taking a trip I'llpay that out of pocket and just
do the like.
Do you want to do oursupplemental?
Because they have an extrainsurance thing.
And if I'm driving all the wayto the beach and back and I got
two dogs in it and all that.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I'm like I'll pay it, cover it.
Because when you get it back, Idon't yeah, cover it if a small
asteroid hits it.
I want every possible coverage.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
If I roll in here and it's like planes, trains and
automobiles or Tommy Boy car,I'm dropping the keys off.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I'm out.
Do you take diners club?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
The gas tank's in the back seat?
Yeah, I don't even mess with it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I know, but it's fine when was this.
Monday Not this Monday, butlast Monday.
Oh, when was this Monday?
Not this Monday, but lastMonday, oh no man.
So but yeah, it's fine Shoot,which I wish.
I wish I had like an AceVentura or like a beater car.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yes, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, because then if it happened, I'd be like tell
you what?
Just give both my boys freedriving school.
Give me a thousand bucks, callit even.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, under the table .
Speaker 1 (16:36):
We're done with this we'll be done with this yeah.
I have money in my pocket.
Both my doors still work yeah,right so sorry but no, I kind of
which, when you get the quoteyou're like get ready.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
What strap in?
Yeah.
Or they'll say you know, we hadsomething happen with a car, we
thought it was going to befixable.
And they're like, yeah, theframe has been, it's totaled out
oh yeah, I've had that I waslike I'm sorry, say what.
You know what I mean, which insome ways is like well, you got
to find something else, andsometimes it's easier than
trying to get it fixed, butstill that's a is like well, you
got to find something else, andsometimes it's easier than
(17:12):
trying to get it fixed, butstill that's a gut punch too.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, when you got to get a whole new car, you're
like what, yeah, what, don'tcall people I did.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm sorry, yeah, I still took.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I said all that.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, I still don't know what's going on.
Well, their policy is notspecific.
You know they're saying, well,if it's too much, but they're
not giving you any.
They're not.
They're not saying you know, ifit's body work above eight
thousand dollars, we'll cover upto whatever but it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You said eight thousand dollars, because that's
it's probably what it's gonnabe.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Oh was it.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, that's crazy, but the one thing I asked one
lady I said I have a question.
If I took it to seven differentplaces to get quotes, which one
would I take it to for you tocome inspect it at?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Just the one I choose , or the cheapest, or Right what
?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I get all these quotes.
Where are you?
Yeah, come to my house, yeahyou're an engine.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Why do you have to talk to the body shop guy to be
like to figure it out?
I don't think you're needed.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm sorry yeah, it's a little wonky, it's not an
exact metaphor, but it feelslike when your parent takes you
to I don't know, let's say themall or Walmart, and this is not
my personal, but like okay, youcan get a bathing suit or you
can get a new pair of jeans, oryou can get a new pair of tennis
shoes, right, and they're likeokay, but how much?
(18:49):
Well, we'll just have to tell uswhat store you're at and we'll
have to come.
We'll just have to see howexpensive it is, I know.
But what if eight stores havethose shoes?
You're still not telling me aprice.
I know, but just see what youlike, try on some even.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, and when you drop?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
But can I have $100?
Can I have $50?
Can I have $100?
Can I have $50?
Can I have $20?
Will you cover the $150 hokas?
What are we talking about?
Well, we'll just have to sendmom down there.
You just let us.
You know what I mean.
Give me something I can print.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And it also sounds like if they gave you a certain
amount for jeans, they alsowouldn't say well, we'll see
what we can afford.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So just when you drop them off, to get them altered.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah, but what?
If I don't want these, thenI've already bought them and we
still don't know what the priceis for said bought jeans like
this is crazy yeah now I ain'tgot no pants on and I got a
rental car.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Because they're gonna reschedule all this, I'm going
to candy craze or whatever I'mso sorry.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, I don't yeah, because we just wrapped stuff up
and then, god forbid, somebodyhas an injury at least, at least
nobody's necks hurting you know, that's a that's a whole
another thing.
Well, we still haven't gotten abill from your provider, so we
don't know if we can cover that.
They're still asking us aboutsomething because one kid got in
a fender bender and their neckhurt for a bit and it was fine.
(20:15):
But like we went to onedoctor's visit and like I think
we even paid for it becausewhatever we paid the deductible
and it was just like yep, he'sgood, so I wasn't going to fool
with it because it wasn't goingto be like an ongoing treatment
and they're still sendingletters that say we still don't
have your and I've called.
They're like it's closed.
I'm like well, can you turn theletter maker off, because I get
(20:37):
one of these every six weeks.
It makes me nervous and quitwasting toner and postage anyway
.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh my gosh it's a whole thing.
We.
Sorry, this is ranty, but Iwill say the one lady I talked
to, wow, I was walking dogs whenshe called me, so I was like
can I?
Call you back at this number.
She was like yeah, no, I can't.
Because I called it and I waslike this is Verizon, this
number is so.
(21:08):
Then I had to call do all thisback work?
Nobody knew.
I said I'm trying to reach, soI go back.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I look at the card, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
So I call the number and Judy answered the phone.
I was like, hey, Judy, I'mtrying to get in touch with this
lady.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I didn't know if it was her first name or first and
last.
She said it real fast.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm trying to get in touch with last.
Okay, she said it real fast.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, I was like I'm trying to get in touch with, so
I said it kind of medium, yeah,kind of right, slow, fast.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I was like yeah, I'm trying to get in touch with fran
shell I don't know if her nameis fran shell or fran shell or
fran shell and she just didn'ttell you the last name doesn't
matter, because judy didn't knowwho that was, and then she
transferred me to addison, andaddison didn't know who fran
shell was either because addisonjust graduated from high school
(21:57):
such a young name.
Yeah, uh, talked to her for aminute, but yeah, and it was
just but the friend.
When I did finally get in touchwith fran shell, I talked to
her for 47 minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
At one point she said I think you're confusing
yourself, which I was, and Ialmost said, well ditto, because
she was the one that was.
Like she kept trying to get meoff the phone.
She's like okay, if there's anyother questions.
Oh, I have questions.
What are you talking about?
(22:36):
Like she?
Would do this long thing andI'm like, so am I dropping it
off?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And she's like well, we won't know until we get there
.
I was like, Well, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
now, and I'm not going to know what if I'm not
there.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, I'm going to know I don't have a car when I
get there and then you're goingto, yeah.
There's a part of me is like Iguess I just go with their
person.
That's why people go with theirperson, I guess.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Because they don't want to fool and they've got to
hear that they got somehandshake deal with.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Well that's why they want to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I know Because you're like is the paint going to look
different?
It's going to look differentisn't it, bobby?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I don't want no Mako.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Which I guess nothing wrong with Mako.
I don't know who works at Mako.
What is Mako?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's a paint job for like $99.
They used to advertise.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Really.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
We had oh.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Using Mako.
Oh, and he got the, they didn'tpaint the inside of the trunk
or like so when you would openthe trunk.
It'd be like yellow.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, oh right, but the rest of the car was blue,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Maybe they have like an upgrade.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm guessing it's not , but anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
You know what?
Check out the reviews On.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
State Farm got the reviews on state farm.
No, no, no, no, the other placewas amazing.

That's why I'm taking it, I'mjust walking home and walking to
the beach, I'm so sorry, goodgracious but anyway that's fun
time if you gotta call FranShell, don't At State Farm.

nice and all this and like theowner was super.

I mean you already hit my car like I could get out
and start yelling, but I ain'tgonna do nothing oh good, no,
yeah, yeah, there's too muchanger in the world already
anyway, like you know, ifsomebody was yelling at you
that'd be different.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
But 15 year old teenage girl yeah, and your
kid's doing the same thing rightnow, so, yeah, that like splits

anybody right now so when Ipicked him up, I got to pick him
up first day of driving school.

even though it's not your fault,it's going to show up that
there was some activity.
Speaker 2 (27:18):

But it's like I couldn't do it.
Well, isn't it their job?
