Two NASA astronauts recently returned to Earth after being stranded on the International Space Station for 286 days when their mission was only supposed to last about a week. We discuss the health challenges they are facing plus the shock of what we found out on how they are paid while in space. We also discuss the life and legacy of George Foreman as we find out of his passing at age 76. Amanda is starting to go to the tanning bed and it got her to thinking about the tightness of MRI's and why Jody has a problem with them. All this and much more. We thank you so much for listening.

That's almost how many yearswe've been married.
Oh my bad, I'm at 27.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Hey, first thing I'm going to get started in, I just
heard that George Foreman died.
He died yesterday, 76 years old.

Speaker 2 (00:33):

Speaker 1 (00:35):
You got some kind of I brought you that piece of
information?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
got some kind of notification, and then when I
looked on my phone, so I had ittoo.
You just looked at yours first.
I've got some facts right hereabout george foreman.
Of course he was 76.
I just said that he passed awayfriday, which was yesterday,
because we were recording on asaturday, not on a sunday, after
church.
How about that?
That's what I say, so I can getthis thing done.
No, I have to work so hard onsunday.

(00:58):
He's a two-time heavyweightchampion.
I don't have my glasses oneither, so I'm struggling,
struggling.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Oh, that's not good.
So I really need this movedabout.
I see them right there.
You could just put them on.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
These are like my old , they're not even dusted off.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
All right go.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Hey, I can see he was a two-time heavyweight champion
, 1973 and in 1994, when he was45 years old, which was unheard
of.
If when he was 45 years old,which was unheard of, if you're
45 years old and you becomeheavyweight champion, you're old
, boxing at 45?
.
I'm 45 and I'm a heavyweightsomething, but it ain't a

(01:34):
champion.
He lost his first title toMuhammad Ali in 1974.
It was called the Rumble in theJungle.
Have you ever heard of that?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Let's get ready to rumble, that's kind of different
.
Oh, that's wrestling's.
Get ready to rumble.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
That's kind of different.
Oh, that's wrestling?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
No, that's boxing.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh is that boxing yeah, that's boxing.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's not the rumble , no.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh, all right.
He was an Olympic gold medalist.
He won the gold in 1968.
He retired in 1977, but made acomeback in the late 80s and
then eventually regained theheavyweight title in 1994.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
After retiring in the 70s, he became a minister Did
you know that I think I did knowthat a little bit.
I did.
I feel like I had heard that.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
This next one.
I did know he had five sons.
Yeah, I think he's got adaughter, but he's got five sons
.
You know what their names are.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Okay, I'm going to tell you George Jr, George III,
George IV, George V and GeorgeVI.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
So I'm assuming that their middle name is what they
would have gone by, because ifnot, I don't know how they
communicated.
Alright, and the other thing isprobably the only thing Amanda
knows him for what would that be?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
The George Foreman grill.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
We had one and it was good.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Oh yeah, we wore that thing out.
Sorry, George.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It sold over 100 million units worldwide.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I knew he was a boxer Is that not crazy?
I knew that.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, I knew more of the grill and that kind of stuff
Because, you know, he was outof boxing when I was old enough
to even care about boxing.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Gotta keep checking on my groceries.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, you're waiting.
If you get the call, we'll.
If I get the call.
I'm gonna be solo.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Jody is flying solo.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Let me take these glasses back off so I don't look
so weird jody be flying, sowhat?
would I do if you left right now.
I would just be looking at theoh we're uh video on this, by
the way.
So check it out on youtube.
Hey, I told you we reallyhadn't put anything on youtube
there that much because I hadvideo editing issues.
I've had problems with my phoneon storage.

(03:40):
Now I've talked to amanda everyday probably 10 times about the
storage on my phone because Icannot figure this out, because
I have got 256 gigabytesavailable on my phone.
I'm gonna.
I'm at 252 and then I went in.
Now this has been going on fortwo weeks now.

(04:01):
I have gone and deleted I don'tknow how many videos and today
I told you I know it was lastnight I deleted 90 videos and 70
pictures.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
It dropped one gigabyte on my phone I know I
keep telling you it's somewhereelse, but when you deleted your
GoPro videos, that took more.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
When I went in today and I only deleted four in each
one it was a five second videoapiece and it dropped 12
gigabytes just in those, so Idon't know, and it was pulling
that out of the cloud so itshouldn't have anything to do.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
If you know how to get us more memory on our phone,
let us know.
Below.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Look, and we've looked it up, I have Googled it,
I have gone in.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
He don't want a new phone.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
No, I don't need a new phone, I'm just saying I've
gone in and done everythingthey've said to do.
There's even a thing where youcan go in and hey, I deleted.
It's a year old.
It deletes out of your phonenot pictures, but say like text
messages.
So if me and you've beentexting after a year stuff like

(05:12):
that, it deletes it, so thatsaves I don't know if I like
that well, I did that, and thenI found out I didn't like that,
but it didn't.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
But I did this a long time ago I'm pretty sure I have
a voicemail from my mom.
Yeah, it doesn't touch yourvoicemails or anything like that
.
Oh, just pictures.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
No, I just said it doesn't touch.
This is mainly texting andstuff like that oh texting yeah,
applications.
I guess you'd call that, but Idon't know.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I mean, I know you get tired of me talking about it
, but I would think I'm.
I have got some videos that areover an hour long Fishing
videos, feeding the catfish.
Delete, delete, delete, delete.
To why I'm like I'm deletingstuff just to be deleting.
I'm like I really don't want toget rid of this.
There's nothing.
Family.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, I bought you that card to put them on.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
So we got, we ordered a memory stick, whatever it's
called.
Yeah, you stick in your phone.
First you got to download anapp, and then what does that do?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Hold on Everything download.
You got to download an app.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, so what did that do when I downloaded it?
I even have an app to thesmelly good stuff we plug in the
hall.
That is crazy.
Yeah, you've got this.
Tell them about that real quick.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's called pura or something like that.
So you plug it in the hall andit's just a little square vial
of smelly stuff and you put itup in there and you scan
whatever flavor it is and it'son your phone and you you
control it by your phone.
I can turn it on when we're nothere.
I set a timer on it.

(06:45):
I can turn the light.
I really like it for thenightlight because Jody gets up
at 3 o'clock in the morning.
So now I've got it set to whereit comes on.
It doesn't necessarily have tosmell.
I can just turn that light on.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
But it comes on and then, if you're probably within
20 feet, we've got ourthermostat in the hall, I guess
most people.
So when I get up out of the bedthere's a certain angle.
I'm probably 15 or 20 feet fromit.
I'm in the bedroom and when I'mgetting up that night the light
on it pops on, which is good.

(07:18):
It is good For me, so it helpsme see, but it's not good for
anybody else in the house.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's weird that it comes on and we're in the
bedroom.
You're not close by.
But the thing about that smellything is it's strange because
it comes on on its own by like 6in the morning and 6 at night,
or something like that.
Yeah, I forget how it's set.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
But it puts out some smell.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's the best smelling thing I've had that
lasts through the house.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
It does.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
It lasts.
It cannot be on and I can comein the house and I smell it and
anything else.
I've tried.
It doesn't.
I'd have to say I'm happy withthis.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So back to my memory stick on my phone.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Had to download an app.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Download an app and, like I said, what does it do?
Takes up memory because you'vedownloaded an app now yeah, all
right.
So now I'm defeating thepurpose, but you gotta have it.
So I've gone in there and Ihave all my honduras mission
trip pictures, videos, all that.
I have probably put a thousandpictures and videos on that
memory card stick and I havedropped just maybe four

(08:26):
gigabytes off my phone.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't get it.
That's another episode you needto do is Honduras.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, I can do that.
You can go by yourself and dothat one.
Well, if you have to leave, Iguess I'll start.
All right, cut everything.
We're going to talk aboutHonduras.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Cut, we're going to Honduras.
If I have to leave and go getgroceries, you know that's been
10 years.
Has it not been longer thanthat?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
No.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I feel like it has.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Because there's an orphanage down there and the
kids will, you know, you getattached to one of the kids or
one of the kids will getattached to you.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I thought he was going to bring us one home.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
I would have brought her home.
If I could have put her in mybackpack and snuck her out of
the country, I would have.
But cutest little girl, I'mwe're not gonna, I'm not gonna
go into this whole story, butthey do get it they do get
attached to you and I gotattached to her big time, but
she would be 19 or 20 oh, Iguess.

(09:19):
So yeah, yeah, yeah that'scrazy, because she was probably
10, 9 or 10.
Yeah, all right.
So back to our story.
We want to talk about theseastronauts.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Jody wants to talk about these astronauts.
I have.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
It is strange.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
This is very strange.
He thinks I'm going to read upon this stuff and I never do.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
No, I know you won't.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
But I know he'll bring out the facts.
I'll bring out the facts.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I bring out the facts because I'm interested, I'm
going to knock this mic over.
I wish it didn't make so muchnoise when I hit it.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I think my glasses again.
I wish you would move, quitmoving.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Anyway, the two astronauts Put your glasses back
on.
No, I'm good, you can read it.
They were stranded.
They were on the InternationalSpace Station for how long, do
you think?
How many days.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Was it nine months?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm 286 days to be exact, sofrom June 5th of last year.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wait, how many were there?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Two.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh, I thought there were more than two.
No, it's.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Sonny Williams.
I don't know if it's Sonny orSonny.
I'm going to say Sonny, sonnyWilliams and Butch Wilmore.
Okay, so they're the twoastronauts.
Whoa.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
There wasn there wasn't a woman.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, sunny is the one.
Oh, sunny is the woman.
Okay, okay, go ahead.
That's what she goes.
That's son of my, or somethinglike.
That's her first name, suny?
Yeah, no, it's either s-u-n-i.
Is that sunny or suny?
I think it's sunny.
Forgive me if it's not allright.
So they were up there, uh, fromjune 5th of last year until
March 18th, which was a few daysago, which was a Tuesday, I

(10:49):
think it was.
Their mission was initiallyplanned to last seven to eight
days.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
So your one-week trip turns into nine months.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Nine months later.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It was extended due to technical issues with a
return spacecraft the BoeingStarliner.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Did they prepare for that?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
I did.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Like if you can't get back they've got stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So I did find this out.
There is a spaceship whateveryou want to call it pod shuttle.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
That is in the attached part of the
international space station.
So yeah, I guess, I guess ifthey say, hey, the international
space station has sprung a leak, we've got to get out, you can
get in that thing and take ithome.
I just don't think they want torisk it because I guess they
don't know if 100 percent ofthis okay.
How long has it been out there?
I don't know.
Did it go up there whenoriginally, or did they?

(11:46):
I don't know?
So the safest thing to do is totake a spaceship up there, get
them and come back.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Okay so.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
But I think me personally, I don't know I'm
going crazy If I'm stuck upthere.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh yeah, I mean, how in the world?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
So I'm just saying you, better not let me know
where the keys are to thatspaceship, because one morning
I'm going to wake up and say,hey, I'm getting out of here.
Are you with me?
You know, yeah.
You ain't paying me noattention.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, I was trying to say where our sun was.
It just went off.
Of course they're eating.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Let's see.
So they splashed down Tuesdayoff the coast of Florida In the
water Yep, with the SpaceX crewof two aboard the Dragon Freedom
spacecraft.
So Elon Musk sent them missionup there to get them, which was
good.
And then he's saying it was allpolitical that they could came
down earlier.
But for whatever reason and Idon't know what, he means by

(12:47):
saying it's all political elon.
I think what he's saying isbecause he couldn't get
permission to go up there andget them during the biden
administration.
That's from what I gather, why.
I don't know.
I mean you're.
You're taking a chance on thesafety and lives of two people.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
So what I want to know is how they had supplies
for nine months up there.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh, they've got it covered up there.
That's a big place Now we didon the other podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I did For nine months staying straight up there nine
months.
They've got plenty of stuff.
Well, I mean, I guess they do.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
They made it yeah, up there nine months they've got
plenty of stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Well, I mean, I guess they do.
They made it, yeah, um, but Ithink I heard that like she was
having problems walking orsomething she yeah, I've got all
that too.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Um, if you'll just give me a second, let me get
this part out.
So we did an episode on theinternational space station
several months back me and thetwo guys and it was really into
the whole shebang.
You know how long it's been upthere, how big it is, all this
stuff.
So, yes, there is plenty ofsupplies up there, all right.

(13:55):
So if you're stuck in spaceunexpectedly, wouldn't you be
well compensated?

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yes, you better be paying me.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Better Overt be paying me Better, Overtime too.
So the annual salary for anastronaut, depending on your
rank and your time with them,ranges from $125,000 to $165,000
.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
If you're not stuck in space, if you're on.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
The Most astronauts are on the ground, you know.
So, while on missions,astronauts are considered to be
on official travel orders.
They receive a standard perdiem allowance of around five
dollars per day, which amountsto fourteen hundred and thirty30
in per diem payments.

(14:45):
All right, so I think that'scrazy.
They should have some kind ofpay structure for any kind of
situation like this, right here.
Right, don't you think?
Yes, I mean because you knoweventually something's going to
happen.
It's like, all right, you knowyour time's going to accrue,
your overtime, something isgoing to keep adding up.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
So for the next two years they're going to be on
vacation Because it's not like.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I don't care if you're salary Paid.
Listen, if you're salary, whatdo you still get?
Two days off, right?
So you're getting paid for 40.
If you're scheduled 50 hours ofyour place of business, right,
but your salary you still getyour off time, right.
They're not getting off timebecause they're stuck.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Maybe they're clocked out up there and they go into
this room and said don't botherme you hear me screaming, don't
come.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I'm just getting, you know, relief.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
So yeah, that's crazy , all right.
So prolonged weightlessness,physical rehabilitation that's
what they're going to have to gothrough now, if I don't know.
Going back to when theysplashed down and if anybody out
there watched the splashdown itlooked very fake, very fake.
Water's very still, and I'm notsaying that it look, look, I

(16:03):
believe here we go.
This is not a conspiracy theory, but I do have more conspiracy
theories coming out of me now asI get older.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh dear.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
I'm not doubting they were in space.
I'm not doubting we sent arocket up there with Elon's
signature on it, getting them,bringing them down.
They landed in the water.
I'm just saying, if you watchthis video very sketchy, all
right, hardly a ripple on thewater.
This capsule is just b-bopping.
It looks like ai generated itreally does.

(16:35):
And then all of a sudden,dolphins come up beside and yes,
no, this is like a drone that'staking this and like all around
.
And then the announcer, theperson that's announcing oh look
, it's some happy littledolphins coming up to meet our
astronauts.
Something crazy like that, andit really I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
How could they fake it?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
They can't.
I'm just saying it looked fake,but it's got to be real right,
or does it it?
It's got to be real right, ordoes it?
It don't have to be.
How many times could they dosomething?
To where they have aprecautionary thing?
To where they video somethingto make it look better than it
really is?
You know what I'm saying yeahand maybe it's something like

(17:21):
that.
Maybe they landed way over herein the water, had a hard time
getting them, but we're gonnashow them this video.
You know I'm not gonna showthem getting out.
We're gonna show them loadingup the capsule and all this
stuff and it looks great.
I don't know, just throwingthat out there not saying that's
what they are but I'm, when weget, I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
I wish I showed you this I can't believe you didn't
show me that strange I can'tbelieve it uh, oh, anyway.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
So if you, if you watch the video too, when they
get them out of the capsule theycan't stand.
They have to help them up.
All right, and she had iv.
I don't know if you saw that.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Well, I don't know yeah so she looks health-wise.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
She looks like she's struggling, which I can
understand.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Breaking news.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
What.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Arkansas men beat number two seed, st John's.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
So those that have a bracket out there good luck to
you.
There's you some breaking news,even though this will be two
days from now when it comes out,oops.
So it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
It's breaking to you because I thought you said you
had st john's to win I don'tremember anyway do you want me
to go check real quick?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
you want to talk while I go check nope, I'll be
right back.
Nope all right.
So we're talking about theirrehabilitation, all right.
So these are some of the thingsuh, bone density loss and
muscle atrophy, cardiovascularand balance issues, sensory
readjustment these are all thethings that they're going to
have to do.

(18:52):
Right, radiation exposuremonitoring.
I'm sure I didn't think aboutit.
I didn't think about that.
There's radiation in space,supposedly.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Supposedly.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Now I don't know if it's when you're coming through
the atmosphere or if it'sactually all in space.
I'm not sure.
I think it's all in space.
Why would that be?
Why, I don't know?
You know there's precautionswhen they're up there, but
they're not expecting you topossibly be that long, so you're
going to be exposed to moreradiation, so it's more
dangerous.
But you do have some of thesecosmonauts you know from russia

(19:25):
that have stayed up there forlike a year, you know.
So is there not things in placeto protect them anyway?
Maybe they just monitor, justto make sure that yeah but they
should be all right.
I don't know look, look, just aswe don't give facts, we try to
do it the living room tv is loudyeah, but you can hear it
because you will not wear theseheadphones.

(19:46):
I'm not wearing it, I know, butyou really do.
So you know if you're in and outof the mic I'm in the mic, I'm
all up, but you don't know likeif you wander off over right
here it sounds fine to you, butpeople that's listening can't
hear me like they can right here.
Anyway, all right.
So psychological adjustmentsthat to me you've been away from

(20:06):
your family for almost you.
You miss christmas, you missthanksgiving, you miss birthdays
you miss anniversaries anybodythat passed away.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
What if you had?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
people.
A phone call is a lot differentthan being around your loved
ones oh yeah you know?
So I don't.
What do you do?
How much is there to do?
So you're telling me that I'vegot a plate full of stuff to do
every day, when you only wantedme up there for seven to eight
days.
So they're just giving methings to do, are they not?

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I guess so.
But my goodness man, thatstation should be Look you're up
there long enough to where youcould learn chess.
Oh yeah, I hope they've gotenough stuff up there that
you've got.
What about, like some kind of?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
you've got some kind of broadband, you can't play
cards, can you, because they'rejust going to float around.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
If you've got some kind of internet that you can
like look stuff up.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh dear.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
You know, Because I'd have to.
You know like, hey, give meTikTok, Let, Let me pass.
You know, sometimes got to bepassed away my free time.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
TikTok will do it Next thing you know, three hours
have gone by.
Hey, there you go.
I'm not sure they have that.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, I don't either.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
I'm pretty sure they probably don't.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I also read that for every day in space it takes a
day to recover and readjustmentcould take up to nine months.
Since they were up there fornine months Now, that doesn't
mean that they're they're stillin a medical facility right this
whole time.
Now they will be under care forI think they said 45 days in

(21:35):
houston.
So you know, I'm sure theirfamily stuff will come out there
and see them and all that.
But then after that I'm surethey're released and then it's,
you know, rehab every day, everyother day or depending on how I
mean how healthy they are afterthe 45 days.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
But you're.
It's one to one and a halfpercent bone density loss every
month, is what I read.
So if that's the case, that'swhy you're not walking when
you're getting back.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Oh, that's totally right.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
I don't care what kind of exercise, because you
you don't have, you're notholding up any weight right, of
course when you have me exerciseum, that's not.
You have to extra exercise,probably 10 times longer a day
than the normal person, just totry and keep your you know
muscles and I don't think youcould do anything with with your
bones.
I don't want no part of itwould you go to space?

(22:26):
I don't think so if they saythat you can go up and be
weightless for two hours, we'llget you just barely in orbit I
don't think so free pass, youknow.
Now are they gonna pay me somemoney no, oh no, no, because the
way it you pay them now to goup there, oh no, yeah, no, no,

(22:46):
no, no, that's what you knowJeff Bezos and Richard Branson
Right, you know they've got thetwo.
They're trying to develop it towhere people pay to go up and
experience you know space forsix, eight hours a day.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I'm going to stay right here.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
And I'm perfectly fine with that.
So if they gave you, say, afree ticket, To go to space.

enough passing by that.
The dude wears his hat aroundbackwards.
Luke, I don't know If he wenton there.
He better have that hat turnedthe right way or I'm going to
knock it off his head.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
No, you're not.
I love a hat turned backwards.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
That bothers me the whole.
Every time he's got that hatturned, either don't wear a hat
or wear it the right way.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
I love a hat turned backwards.
It's something about a man witha hat turned backwards man, you
mean business.
It's something about my manwith a hat turned backwards.
Hey, turn your hat backwardsthe only time.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Stop it, stop it the only time.
Oh, you're turning red the onlytime we are recording I hope
you know.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I know this is like we didn't say it was pg, you
know I could edit this out.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
What am I thinking?
I ain't scared, I'll just editthis out.
We didn't say it was p.
You know I could edit this out.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
What am I thinking?
I ain't scared, I'll just editthis out, we didn't say it was
PG.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I have to put an explicit content warning on if
it gets too bad.
If not, I'll get booted offthis thing.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
How, when you can run half naked on TV and it not be
nothing.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, but it's different when you're doing a
podcast.
If you don't warn folks aheadof time, you get a strike.
I don't know what we weretalking about.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I got you flustered.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
You was.
Oh we were talking about.
Yeah, hey, I ain't got aproblem with you wearing your
hat around back.
It's just not all the time.
I ain't doing it all the time.
I'm just saying like, if you'reworking, like if I'm outside,
I'll turn my hat aroundbackwards when I'm sometimes.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
I watch you yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Got you again.
We have a.
Our regular guest is in herewith us, so if you listen to,
the podcast.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I feel like the blood's going to run to his head
.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I don't know what's going on with him, but if you
are a regular listener to thispodcast, if you would go on
YouTube, or you can go on TikTokand watch some of the shorts or
the videos we put out there,you will see Winston, the Yorkie
that sits beside me and rightnow he looks like he.
I don't know all the head.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
You just totally got off subject.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
I know Squirrel yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Don't say that loud, he'll be gone.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Well, if Coco is in here, she's at the.
We lock, yeah, we lock her outbecause she's very, she's the
chihuahua, she's, she can beaggravating.
And then nicholas is should behome at any time no, he's.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
They've gone to town now looks like to eat okay.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
So they've been hiking all day and so we knew he
was close and we're like mygoodness, they're gonna come
here and coco is gonna have afit barking and you'll hear.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
But I guess oh well, yeah, that's life, yep, that's,
that's the, not the perks.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
That's the downside of recording in your home yeah,
we've got a room set up for sothis is nice oh yeah, but I mean
it's not soundproof.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean you still gonna hear the dog?
If they go crazy you can't, youcan't stop them from going
crazy yeah, and let us know.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
If you do watch these videos, let us know about this
window that's behind us.
This window behind it bothersme.
I want to cover it, I don'tknow why it bothers you just put
, just write a comment, saycover it no or don't cover it.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
It's fine.
He worked hard on this room.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
I did work hard on this room Probably four months,
tearing that wall down rightthere and then putting all this
trim, staining it, putting afloor down Well, y'all can't see
it, but I put a new floor downand then we got the We've never
owned these chairs right herethat we're talking about.
We're way off subject, by theway, but we didn't talk about
that.
These are recliners, did we?
We'd never say that, did we?

(28:27):
I thought we did.
Okay, so they do recline back.
I'm happy with these chairs.
I'm just glad we didn't buythem new because they would have
been expensive.
They were expensive used, yeah.
So anyway.
That's why I've got winston ona uh towel right here sitting
beside me, because I don't wanthim scratching up this leather

(28:47):
man I shouldn't have touched himbecause now he wants me to pet
him All right.
So you were saying stillmagnolias.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
That's not what I meant.
I can't think Sweet.
What's the other show I watch?

Speaker 1 (29:00):
The Tomatoes?
Sweet Magnolias, sweetMagnolias, sweet Magnolias.
I thought you were going to saywhat's the tomato?

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Green fried tomatoes Fried green tomatoes.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
We're ridiculous, Ah shut up.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I can't help it.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
If we drank or smoked , people would think we drink or
smoke.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
People think that I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I just drink Pepsi and I'm about out.
Will you go get me something?
I'm done with my.
I got my facts out, you gotyour facts out.
Yeah, I've been dying to talkabout, you know, George Foreman.
I guess that's a bad.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Really, I should have never said that.
That was not even funny, no, Iwasn't trying to be funny.
Anyway.
So today I went to the tanningband.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Tanning band.
Why are you going to thetanning band?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I know all the haters are gonna come out, but I don't
care.
I'm tired of self-tanning andyou gotta, you gotta scrape it
off and you gotta redo it and itI'm done with it to me and plus
red aspen's not doing theirmoose anymore and that was my
favorite, and I don't want tohunt any stuff I don't so
explain this the moose it'sgreen, is it not?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
if you I mean in the bottle, it it's green, it's not
green, it's brown.
Is it Okay?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
It's brown.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
You just got like a mitt, yeah, and you just like
put it on and it turns you dark,but it doesn't last long right
it?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
lasts about seven days.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Okay, it lasts longer than I thought.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh, yeah, yeah, To me that's not enough.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Fine, because you're trying to get it perfect.
I mean like if I'm doing my, Ihad it pretty good, yeah.
So just for example, if I'mdoing my, my foot.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
You're gonna do it with a kabuki brush and you're
not gonna put mousse on yourfoot, you're just gonna put some
drops okay, but let's just allright.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Let's just say, if I didn't talk with my hands, I
know I wouldn't be hitting thismic.
I cannot help it.
I just I gotta have my handsand winston's occupying one of
them because he's bothering meover here.
That's a girl, yep.
So let's just say, all right,my knee Is that.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
All right, you put lotion on your knee.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
All right, so let me go back.
So what I'm saying is to meit's too much of a chore,
because when you start gettinglike when we said the ankle or
your knee, your, knee is goingto be darker right than like
your calf or the front.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I had it down pretty good.
Did you think mine was darker?

Speaker 1 (31:20):
well, I'm just saying me being a guy.
I think my knees would berougher, so they probably you
would you would have to really.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Your knees are rough, so you would have to really put
some lotion on them.
You put lotion on your roughspots and you exfoliate them
with exfoliant men I never woulddo this, I'm just going to go
down here and lay in and all thehaters can come out.
Whatever, I don't care.
I'm done with trying to find.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
But if Red Aspen had that lotion this year, if the
moose came back out, I probablywould do it.
Even though it's a chore.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
But anyway, back out, I probably would.
Would do it, even though it's achore yeah so, but anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
So I was in there today and I got to thinking, so
what?
So what caused this?
Just because of that, you'relike I'm just done with it, I'm
just gonna do it yeah, the fakeway.
Why can't you do it the realway, like?
I am not gonna go outside andgo outside and just no, just go
outside and hang out.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
I don't get any, my legs don't get it, my chest
don't get it.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Why are you screaming ?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
My nothing.
Don't get it, because you'regetting me riled up.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, I'm just saying is, by the time you stay out in
the yard a little bit peddling,you've turned enough times my
face turns red.
You've turned enough times.
It's like putting something inthe oven that you've got to flip
.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
My face turns red and that's all that gets it.
My legs don't get it.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Well, my face is, I have to wear a hat.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I know that's what I'm saying that's all that gets
it when I'm outside.
So yeah, so I just gave it upthis year.
Now, this is the first yearI've been to the tanning bed in.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
How long?

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I don't even know, 15 plus.
It's been.
It's been a while and I reallyjust wanted it to start a base
tan, so when we can get outsideI will, of course.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
So how?
Let me ask you this then how isthe tanning?

Speaker 2 (33:04):
since you've been out of the tanning, they're the
same nothing has changed I betthey got the same beds lots yeah
, surely the lights have changedover time.
Oh yeah, well, I mean, I don'tknow, but, um, I like a stand-up
bed, but this time I didn't.
So anyway, where I'm going withthis, until you got us all off

(33:25):
in la la land over here, the bedthat I laid in today, it
actually closed all the way, andit got me to thinking.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
How far all the way are you talking?
So it's like a clam, right.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yeah, yeah, you could say a clam.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
So I'm closing it.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Tell me where my hands how far to Right there,
really?
Yes, oh, I was thinking likethat.
Well, every other one that I'velaid in was like that.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
So this goes almost like an inch.
So you're saying like an inch,inch and a half.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Because I don't know, you know how you just get in
your mind yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
You know how you get in your mind.
No tell me, how do you get inyour mind I had to push up on it
to make sure I could get out.
Then I was push up on it tomake sure I could get out.
Then I was okay and I fellasleep.
Have you seen those horrormovies where it like locks?
It's like the person locks inand then they like?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
well, which leads turn it on high.
I want to know could you lay ina tanning bed, since you can't
do mris?

Speaker 1 (34:27):
I can do a tanning bed.
I can do this is very weird.
All right, I think in anearlier episode we've talked
about my issues with MRIs andthese closed spaces that has
just happened.
Within the last few years, youknow, I've never no kind of
closed spaces.
Look I've got.
When we did this antenna and Iwent into the house with a coax

(34:49):
cable, no problem, go in there,I don't know.
No problem whatsoever, problemwhatsoever.
You know you can come out well,I think I know I can come out of
any situation, but what I'mgetting to is all right.
There is, I've seen, on tiktok,there are some videos where
some guys it it's, it's ananimated thing where it's like,

(35:12):
uh, people going down in cavesand then what's wrong.
Uh, my thing, where it's likepeople going down in caves and
then what's wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
My order says it's on its way, but I ain't got a text
yet, so that means theyprobably are doing more orders.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
So how much time?
You got Ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Maybe ten or fifteen minutes.
We're good, we're good.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
So on this animated clip it's just got all right.
So they're in the cave andthere's three or four of them
and the cave gets narrow andthis is not real.
I'm just watching it and itshows the guy he's going down
and it's just really skinny andhe's like really skinny and he's
going to head first down thisthing and then something happens

(35:51):
and he gets stuck and he can'tgo and just watching that really
creeps me out to where I abouthave a panic attack watching
that.
Another one was the guy was likeon his back going down there
and started going down theincline and in my mind I can see
that and I'm so I cannotimagine getting stuck, oh no,
he's like on the way my goodnessI didn't get a text or anything

(36:13):
, but maybe there is anotherstop so the whole thing about
the mris in my pan I don't wantto have to have some in the
future um, just as a regularthing with my neck and back
situation was that I feel that,since I've already got hardware

(36:34):
in my neck six screws, twoplates, and all that knowing
that it's a magnet, and all thisI have in my mind, that this is
going to rip out of my neck andit just gets in my head and
won't get out.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
So it's not the thought of it closing, it's the
thought of it.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Well, it's not closing, since you're being
squeezed into it?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Well, that's part of it.
I mean, it goes in and out.
Yeah, that's part of it.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
And the last one that I had.
Well, it was last year.
They put me in it and once theygot me all the way in there, I
said, nope, get me out.
And they had to get me outbecause it was this was at St
Vincent's Right, and they had topull me out because there was
no way.
So then, when I go to the otherone, what did I do?

(37:17):
What did I leave in my pocket?

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Your phone.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
I left my phone in my pocket and I was going, there
was zzzz wheeling me in there.
I'm almost in and I reach and Ifeel my phone in my pocket and
I say, oh, I've my phone.
Like you know, I'm real loudlike that.
And the guy I guess he wasstanding right there puts his
hand on my hand and says do not.
He stops some things.

(37:40):
He says do not pull that phoneout, he said, because that thing
, he said it will be slammed onthe top of that that mri.
Oh.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
So he brings me out.
I will keep your phone nexttime.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
So the last one that I had was they had to prescribe
me medicine but, one pill,whatever it was to take before I
go.
So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
I was just thinking about that when I was laying in
there.
I'm like is it that I cancontrol?
I can open the lid and get outmyself, and you can't do that.
Somebody else is controllingwhether you can get out or not.
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
On the MRI I think there's too many factors, One
being is it so loud?
Another one is they're barkingorders at you.
Yeah, Especially on my neck.
They'll say all right, this oneis going to last for six
minutes.
Right, I then you just staycompletely still.
So after so long of like it'salmost like this, I'm trying to
stay so still it gets in your,your head, to where you twitch,

(38:42):
you know, and then I can't stopdoing that.
So I had to do it and then theguy said we're going to do that
last one.
The last one I did it was nineminutes and I had to do it over
and it was just.
This is this is so painful andstressful for me and I've never
experienced that.
I have never had an issue withanything like that.
And MRI is like a nightmare.
It's like the worst, likeanything else.
We're getting old.
It shouldn't bother me though.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Well, a lot of things bother me that didn't used to
bother me.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
But the thing about this.
They'll say well, jody, they domake a thing as open MRI.
Well, guess what?
I have to have stinkingcontrast.
And you can't get contrast onopen MRI, at least not with what
the doctor needs from me, theway that you had the olive gravy
.
But let me tell you though, ifyou ever go to St Vincent's in
Birmingham, they have thetightest MRI I've ever been in

(39:29):
my life.
My shoulders were scratched.
I'm a little guy and myshoulders were scratching both
sides when they wheeled me in,yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
So that's my story.
That was my thing today.
I was just laying therethinking is this how juddy feels
when he gets in that mri,because that probably that was
the it closing.
So I usually like to stand in astand-up one and that's where
it.
