Man, that messes up thealgorithm for me.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Like I don't care about nails flipped by every
sixth thing.
Stop getting on it with thatother podcast and get on it with
this one.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
All right.
So Australian identical twins,bridget and Paula Power, spoke
with 7 News Queensland about howtheir mother was caught in an
armed carjacking in Queensland,australia, on Monday, april 21st
.
The thing about it is, duringtheir on-camera interview, they
spoke in sync, finishing oneanother's sentences and
answering the interviewer'squestions with the same words.
(02:16):
They were also the subject of a2016 Good Morning Britain
segment, in which Piers Morganlaughed at their synchronized
answers.
Do you know, piers Morgan?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I listen to his.
I've got his podcast that Ilisten to.
It's on favorites.
I just recently startedlistening to it, but I've gotten
to where I can't hardly listento it because the people he has
on there argue and they talkover their self and he doesn't
do anything.
He waits a minute or two whilesorry, put my hands down, he'll
do it for a minute or two, andthen then all of a sudden he
(02:51):
said hold on, hold on, hold on,hold on hold.
And they just keep saying, theykeep talking and it just gets
so aggravating.
Hold on, was that loud?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
all right, do you want to hear what I go well, I'm
gonna all right and we heardthis big bang, we said oh, no,
another car accident so we dropeverything and we went running
out the front.
We seen mum running out from thehouse up there and then other
(03:20):
cars were pulling up and andchecking to see if the person
was okay, and one guy, he was upthere with our mum and he went
up there and he was coming backdown towards us and he goes run,
he's got a gun and, oh, ourhearts started to pound and I
(03:42):
said, oh mum, where's mum?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It sounds like one of the sisters is the lead sister
and the other one's trying tocatch up and finish the scene.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It sounds like the recording is just on top of each
other.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's echoing.
Mum distracted him to make himlook the other way and he looked
the other way and mum ran intothe bush behind the fence and
the guy goes to her.
I'll find you and I'll shootyou.
All I was thinking about whenwe were running.
I hope he doesn't fire.
(04:19):
Yeah, we were so blessed.
How close to him do you thinkyou were?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, see, he was up there and we were past our drive
drive Maybe a hundred meters,it's almost over.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It gets aggravating, does it not?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Because I think it's staged.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So it does sound like one sister's, like I'm watching
you talk and then I'm going totry, so you say something I know
.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So you're going to try to guess what I'm saying and
then you're just going to talk,right?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
over me.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
They staged it.
They staged it.
See, not hard at all.
It's like you know me orsomething it's like you know me
or something.
You're saying it right behindme.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's what she's doing right now.
Some of it, but the thing islike if, if me and you were
talking we're gonna get flatbecause we're making fun of that
well, um, it's interesting,interesting, but the more you
listen to it it's like if me andyou were talking about
something, I need to fix thismic because it's like crazy.
Uh, if we're talking aboutsomething, we're being
interviewed.
Be like, I'm gonna let you talkand then I might cut in because
(05:28):
you, you left something out, orwhatever like that but I'm but
yeah, you are exactly well, mypoint being well, you said, and
I just agree with it.
But the point being is, whoeverit is, you're not going to keep
talking over one another.
Let one person tell the story.
Apparently both y'all know it.
You know over one another.
Let one person tell the story.
Apparently both of y'all knowit.
You know what really needs tohappen.
Let mom tell the story, becausemom got carjacked.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Where is she?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know.
They didn't case the guy.
I do know that, so you didn'tfinish.
They have some kind of Pelicanrefugee, something over in
Australia.
That's what they're known for,or whatever.
I just found that interestingThought.
You might get a hoot out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
A hoot A hoot.
What's a hoot A hoot.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You ever got a hoot out of something?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
It was about two years before we started dating.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You was concert hopping.
It was like 1996, somethinglike that 97?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Two years before, not 97.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Excuse me, 96?
.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Actually we started in 96.
We got married in 98.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
95.
How about that?
I'll just go with 95.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
When did you graduate ?
It was in Birmingham 94.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But it seemed like it was a few years after that Were
we dating when I went withsomebody else Just kidding, that
was a joke.
That was a joke.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
See ya.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Edit that.
No, it was whatever time, itwas 95, 96, but I don't remember
who opened for him and I wantto know.
So bad and I need to look it up.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
How do we get on this ?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because of Hoot, oh, hoot and Annie.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Hoot and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Hootie and the Blowfish yeah,okay.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So Birmingham BJCC went to that and I don't know
who opened for them and itdrives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You know what this is .
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know I did.
I looked it up one time and itdidn't really take me where I
needed to go, so I gave up.
I mean, it wasn't just a simplelittle no, it's not there.
It was like about 10 minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Who opened for Hootie and the Blowfish in 1996.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And if you looked it up and found it like that,
that's great and all I'm justsaying, the time I looked it up
did not find it, did not find it.
You know, we didn't talk aboutit.
We did a TikTok live a week ago.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So if you're listening to this and you don't
follow us on TikTok, you need tofollow us.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, because on Fridays we're trying to do a
tick, talk live and just talkabout stuff and take questions.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I think we should do the live and record and just
make that our episode well thething is about.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That is like you're gonna have these long pauses
because you're trying to read aquestion somebody's giving you
and somebody listens to this ona podcast, on Spotify or
somewhere like that.
It's gonna it's not gonna begood, so it wouldn't work.
Keep talking.
It'd be different if it's likewe're reading emails that we
received.
Yeah, that would be fine, butnot if you're doing a live, a
TikTok live.
But we had questions and thenwe got into conspiracy theories
(08:34):
and then we got off into likeJFK, and then what was it?
True crime, all kinds of stuff.
But we started off with talkingabout the Blue Origin with Katy
Perry and all her minions I sayminions the other five women
that went up in space, the edgeof space, 62 miles up.
(08:58):
I think it was an 11-minuteride that they took.
Was it real or was it not?
Did you ever watch any of the?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
videos.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Did you ever see?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Even after we talked about it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, you didn't research it, it never was.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Hey, that was so interesting that when we talked
about it on the live that youknow I'm going to look it up
when we get done.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Sorry, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Do you ever do that?
No, that when you talk tosomebody about something that's
kind of interesting, you nevergo back and actually look it up
and get more information aboutit.
No, really, really that's veryunusual why would I?
Why would you not?
Why would I?
When you find something thatinteresting that you you just
want to, hey, I'm gonna look,look more in depth into it.
That's what youtube's forthat's what.
(09:42):
Just don't go, just if you'regonna do like conspiracy
theories and that kind of stuff.
Yeah, you, if you go to, I justsuggest don't go to youtube and
start looking crazy stuff up.
But back to the whole blueorigin thing.
The whole thing started wasonce they landed and I saw the
video of when the door openedfrom the inside.
(10:02):
So whoever was on the insideopened the door and it cracked
open several inches and they'reoutside the door and it's Jeff
Bezos.
Bezos, is that how you say it?
Bezos?
Sure, amazon man and anotherlady.
The other lady runs over towhere the little steps are
that's connecting, or they putright there at the door next to
(10:25):
the capsule.
When she sees the door openfrom the inside or whatever that
they're opening, she kind ofruns up to that door and she's
like whoa, whoa, you know, closeit, close it.
You know that's not her exactwords.
That's me talking, so I don'tknow exactly what she did, so
you can hear her say it.
No, oh, I just meant that I'msaying it.
You can tell by her mannerisms.
(10:48):
Okay, you can hear anything Likeshut that door, don't open it.
That's basically what she'ssaying.
So then Jeff comes around there.
I'm just going to call him Jeffbecause we're tight.
Is it Bezos or Bezos Bezos?
I don't know why can't I sayhis name.
He comes bezos bezos, I don'tknow I used why can't I say his
name.
He comes up there with his tooland it does look like a tire,
(11:08):
iron in a way, because it's gotlike a little piece and two
pieces I think it's chrome orwhatever and you're like pops it
on the door right there anddoes like a twist like there and
bam, the door opens.
But when the door opens andswings in, it looks like a
screen door on a trailer.
I mean, it looks like it justflaps in there like it's nothing
.
And when I saw that I was likeokay, I don't know anything
(11:29):
about space, but I'm justthinking like when you get on a
jet airliner, whatever, thedoors on those things are like
four, five, six inches thick.
This is like an inch and a halfmaybe, so, but anyway.
So then that started the wholeconspiracy thing.
I kicked the recorder.
Let me make sure we're stillrecording, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
If you'd be still.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I can't.
I'm all excited.
I'm excited when we're talkingabout this, so that kicks off
the whole thing.
Well, that's funny that this isall happening.
Hmm, it's kind of strange.
Why is this all just for showfor him going up there and
opening up the door and all this?
Then you start hearing thingsabout well, why is the capsule
(12:13):
not dark on the top, or kind ofdark and black to where it's,
you know?
Because any of these rockets orcapsules that come back from
space when they go through there-entry they're traveling so
fast and you know it burns.
They've got tiles on it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
all burns up, got it okay, got, it makes sense makes
sense, because you go 62 milesup.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Surely there's going to be a scratch, a mark,
something on the thing right,surely it's used.
You drive a new vehicle off thelot.
When you get at home you mighthave a little something on there
right just from the ride home,so surely this one would.
Are you tired of me talking?
No, are you listening?
No, oh, my goodness, uh-oh, soyou got that.
(12:55):
And then they show where theview from the inside, from when
they land.
And when they land it lookslike it's very soft landing from
inside, but on the outside it'spretty rough landing.
Then you've got when they'reactually up in space.
Everybody's spending more timelooking at the camera, doing
their little thing, like KatyPerry's got her little daisy
(13:15):
right there in front of her, herflower showing it to the camera
, and all this kind of stuff.
They're like why is nobodylooking out at the earth,
looking out at space?
Forget the camera.
I'm taking it all in.
I don't have much time becausethis baby's starting to come
back down to earth, so I'mchecking it all out, right.
Plus, it ain't cheap to takethis ride, okay.
(13:36):
So you start adding all thisstuff up and you're like is any
of this real?
So I'm just saying, why'd?
they do it well, it's some somekind of publicity publicity I
almost said splint stunt, do younot think so?
Because they made it such a bigthing, like it's women's rights
(13:57):
or something I don't know.
But it's like you know what, dothis, you know what do a
lottery.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm all for women's rights, but I still want a man
to take care of me.
Yeah Well, the thing aboutBecause that's the way it's
supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, but the thing about this is well, this is
great and all, but don't carry-.
One of them called herself.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They're astronauts now You're not an astronaut,
once you take that money and putCuring cancer.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh, you're going to be one of those now.
Yep, you sound like one ofthose people that writes a
comment in there.
I'm writing a comment.
You're so rich, why don't youuse your money for something?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Exactly, but my point being is like why are you going
Space?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
My point is that.
So if you're going to do thisand all of them are big climate
activists, you know do it forMother Earth and all this.
They got to take care of her.
Well, how much carbon did youput in the stupid atmosphere
from going up there to take yourpretty little picture with your
stuffed animal and your flower?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What's the meme I sent you the other day?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't remember.
You have to look it up.
I got to look this one upbecause it was good, but if you
go back to the whole thing, whythe capsule is not darkened on
the outside like it's burned upor anything, well, they don't
get high enough to actually gothrough that whole experience of
like a re-entry.
So I get all that.
I get all of it.
I'm not denying that theydidn't go to space.
It's like I'm sure, but when'sthe door?
(15:16):
The whole door thing happened?
All that space, I know, butwhen the whole door thing
happened?
When they're on the ground?
yeah it starts to click with youLike man, this is like a
publicity stunt.
Is all this real?
What else?
If that's happening, they'restaging how they open the door.
Is anything else staged?
That's all I'm saying.
I'm just glad they made it backsafe.
(15:37):
You know why don't you go toyour photos?
Oh, we have a special guest.
Winston is back with us.
Winston has been with us.
Yeah, he's been with us everyepisode.
He has slept through everyepisode.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Is that a picture or just a?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Breaking news Katy Perry has just stepped in a
puddle and is there for now adeep sea diver.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, that's right.
That's a good one.
Yeah, but don't call yourselfan if I go up in space, on the
edge of space.
Yeah, I'm not calling myself anastronaut, right?
I didn't go through theschooling, I didn't go through
the training.
Years and years and years of allthis you have to go through to
call yourself an astronaut.
So don't be going up there justbecause you spent two days
(16:26):
training.
And then you go up to the edgeof space and now I'm an
astronaut.
The edge no.
And then their outfits they'rewearing it's like specially made
from some fashion person.
They probably cost a couplethousand dollars, I don't know A
couple of thousand, I don'tknow A couple of thousand, I
don't know.
I don't know Whatever it was,but I would think too, you know,
(16:50):
michael Strahan, what's hisname?
From Star Trek, old guy, Icannot remember what is his name
Captain Kirk.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I was about to say Captain Hook, no.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
He went up, you know.
So I mean this stuff happens,but I would think if you're
going up there, this is aespecially the landing part and
everything.
Why are they not wearing like ahelmet?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, the whole time.
They don't have to have ahelmet.
Yeah, for safety, did they weara?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
helmet?
No, they did not.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So you can do that and not wear any of that.
I guess so Well when you're inthe capsule, you don't wear it.
You wear it afterwards, right,when you get out, when you get
out and jump in the capsule.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh, I'm not talking about like a space suit.
I'm not talking about likeyou're getting out into space
and you need the oxygen.
No, I'm not talking about that.
I'm just talking about, forsafety, throw me on a you know,
a motorcycle I mean we put ourhelmets on when the tornadoes
are coming well that you know wetalked about what.
I went back and listened to thatand it made it sound like I was
sitting with a bicycle helmeton the couch watching james pan
(17:52):
when bad weather was happening.
That was not what I meant.
I tried the helmet on to see ifit fit and that was Now.
If James Spann says where welive at and gave me the address
and it's like right on top, yeah, I am putting the helmet on and
I'm wearing it because I hearthe freight train coming.
Yes, it's coming, but if youlisten to, that episode.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It was like you in this past Friday.
You scream like a little girl.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh my goodness, tell us about what happened Friday.
This is Sunday.
You're like a little girl.
We just got back from church.
I haven't changed clothes.
Amanda has.
She's ragged me because I'm inmy dress clothes and church
clothes and she's dressed down.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
She thinks I'm making her look bad but I'm not trying
to Slob, not trying to you makeme look like a slob.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So two days ago, which is Friday now, it's rained
, don't get me wrong.
It has rained every day for thelast six days, every day, some
days heavier than others, somedays all day long, some days on
and off, whatever.
So Friday rode around.
What happened?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It was raining.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It was raining.
I got home from work.
You were here, nicholas washere.
I don't know how long it'd been, did it just start coming a
storm?
Yeah it had been raining, Idon't know.
Anyway it started lightningreally bad we were outside it
started, yeah, when we wereoutside.
And you know how, when you, ifyou see lightning, you like you,
(19:17):
you sense a flash, like fromwherever you know, like from the
left or right, in front of you,behind you, whatever.
Well, this was one of that, aflash that's all around you.
One of those things.
You saw it one way and I saw itthe other way we were both
turned away from each other,yeah, but it was all around just
one of those things.
So we went inside and I mighthave done it again.
(19:39):
It was loud, yeah, before wewent inside.
How long have we been inside?
A couple minutes, or it wasn'teven that long.
I don't know, I don't either,but there was, it sounded like
lightning.
Got us it hit the house, hitright behind the house.
I don't know, but when it didthat there was a big old pop
(20:03):
behind the TV, in the cornerwhere all of our electronics and
stuff is.
But the power didn't go off,not at that point, remember,
because the TV popped twice.
Yeah, it was the second timethe power went off Second time,
and I don't remember how long inbetween the first pop and the
second.
Not long 30 seconds maybe, Idon't think it was a minute.
So then there was another pop Idon't know if it's the first
(20:24):
part when I was like screamingto nicholas to like unplug every
electrical thing.
You got plugged in now, um,because I had that pop anyway.
So it had two pops.
That second pop power out andit's still raining, it's still
lightening, all this stuff likegood night.
So you get on on the app and orthe power company says they're
(20:47):
aware of the outage.
I reported it.
Yeah, you did report it, or italready said it was aware no, I
reported it right when ithappened then spectrum and then
it sends a thing and saysthey're aware okay, and then
spectrum, which we don't do tvanymore because we cut the cord,
but we do get our internetthrough them.
They had an outage, of course.
(21:07):
They have an outage when windblows see smoke coming out of
the attic, because I'm like ifthis thing hit the house, what
if the house is on fire and wejust don't know about it yet?
And by the time we realize itis too late.
So went outside, waited to seeif any smoke coming out the
(21:29):
vents, nothing like that.
Went around to the back side ofthe house to try and see.
Hey, did it hit the ground, hitthe tree hit, the antenna hit
what we was.
Looking all over, looking allover the place and then all of a
sudden you start smellingsomething burning, and so me and
Nicholas tried to trace it out.
Walked up the hill, walked here, all that, anyway, never
figured out where the burningsmell came from.
(21:51):
But eventually it was gone.
And then nothing.
Well, power company came andchanged that a little part right
before you get to thetransformer on there, ended all
that powers back on, come inhere and guess what?
What happens?
No tv no tv, it has friedspeaker worked fried our tv.
(22:17):
The sound bar that we've gothooked to the TV is fine.
All the other stuff that'saround, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But they were plugged .
We got to get a surge protector, the.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
TV was not in a surge protector.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And I have no clue why.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
But a surge protector really does not help when it's
a lightning strike.
A surge protector helps whenthere's a surge of power, like
if it's off and goes back on,but I still feel better.
But why didn't it do anythingelse?
I mean, why didn't it?
Why not?
You said, it made our lotsbroader so, all right, I was
getting to that point.
So our tv is out.
We've got a 65 inch tv whichyou can buy them pretty cheap
(22:53):
now, 65 inch tv we could havelived with the one we were
watching 65 inch tv gone I couldhave gone, and now I don.
And now I'm not doing this again.
We'll get to the other storyabout the TV that went out one
time and I lived with like an 18inch for a year.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So and we tell y'all we don't watch TV.
And here he is the very nextmorning.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I know, I know.
No, it's like a comfort thing,it's like a comfort blanket.
As long as the TV's there, itcan be off, but it's got to be
there, I've got to have a.
Tv.
It's got to be there.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
We have one.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's just not the right size.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It was fine.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So later on, I guess we didn't turn the kitchen light
on until later, because when itgot dark because this is 4 or 5
o'clock at night, 3 o'clock atnight, no, it was 3 o'clock at
night School was still in, yeah,so it was before 3.
But anyway.
So I guess when it startedgetting dark or whatever, you
turn the kitchen light on andthe bulbs for our kitchen
(23:55):
fixture, it's like the sunbeaming down.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think it's because the big TV wasn't on and there
was no more light anywhere.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
No, you're making it sound like power's being drained
down.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It was because you and your big TV.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That TV does not take that much.
That is ridiculous.
Don't even think that.
But no, the lights areextremely.
It's like you change the bulband put 10 times brighter bulbs.
Don't know, I don't knowanything about this.
Somebody out there might belike, oh that's, you know an
easy answer to that.
I don't know, but it was crazy.
But you go outside and we gottwo floodlights and one of those
(24:35):
is not working.
So all right, so their LED issupposed to last 20 years.
Apparently not, so I I took itoff.
So the next day, saturdaymorning, we decided to go.
We're gonna have to get a tv,so we buy the exact same tv
didn't have to yeah, got it.
Okay.
(24:55):
Well, let me go back.
You would say hey, we'll moveanother table, we got in there.
And what size is it?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
32.
Is it 32?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Okay, half the size, but it seemed like 10 times
smaller.
I guess in that spot, I guessin that spot I was trying to
make you hang it on the wall.
It looked like a small framethat you had positioned on your
entertainment center.
That's exactly what it lookedlike.
It was fine.
So like well, when we firststarted, the sound bar wasn't
hooked up to it and the TVsounded terrible, and so it was
(25:28):
like this, and you have tosquint your eyes to see it.
Where are you going, dog?
And he's gone.
I must be making too much noise.
I might have hit him with myhand.
You probably did.
You can't be still.
So the next morning, saturdaymorning, we go get the TV and I
get a pack of bulbs for thefloodlights.
Do all that Get back Later onthat Saturday night I notice I'm
(25:55):
studying for Sunday school andwe got the kitchen light on and
it just gets like damn.
I'm like what is going on?
It's almost like everything.
The power is going away, youknow, it's just seeping away and
I'm like what is what'shappening?
And I look and one of the bulbsis blown.
It's LED, now it's gone.
(26:17):
And the other one, you know, ofcourse, is working.
But so now I got one bulb out,I eventually go outside and then
I notice that the twofloodlights the one that I
changed out is on, but the otherone beside it now it's not.
It's not working, it's justtime.
It's not time.
There's no way.
So you're talking about a TVgetting knocked out, light bulbs
(26:39):
in your kitchen going extremelybright for 24 hours, one of
those going out, and then afloodlight that got taken out
got changed, and then the otherone going out within 24 hours.
This is not coincidence.
What is going on?
Nothing, I know.
That light we got right thereis on, I know, because it's
(27:00):
bright, it's hot, it is's my.
That's my story.
So the other thing we had a uhwhat kind of a plasma tv years
ago when they it wasn't rightwhen they first came out, but
years later when it was a littlebit more, a little bit more
reasonable, but still expensive,expensive.
So we got it.
(27:21):
And those plasma TVs, if youever had one back in the day,
them things give off some heat,a lot of heat, and it went out.
It finally got to where, whenyou turn it on or turn it off,
it'd click.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You have to unplug it you have to unplug it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's kind of like it resets, plug it back in and then
you're hoping for the best.
Sometime it'd come on.
Sometimes it wouldn't.
You had to keep doing it.
Eventually it got to where,when you turned it on, it went
click, click, click, click andthat's all I'd do.
So it's messed up.
So we end up like I am notbuying, because this is still
when tvs were still fairlyexpensive, you know.
(27:58):
So, at least that size.
So we get a small one out ofone of our bedrooms, and it's
not a 32 inch was it.
No, it was smaller it wassmaller than that, I don't know
whatever size, so we put it in24 probably.
So we put that.
And this was right duringfootball season, I think, was it
not?
maybe maybe we put it right infront of the plasma tv on the
(28:23):
entertainment series, popped itright there and then watched it.
And it's terrible, absolutelyterrible, did that for almost a
year and then one day jody gotthe bright idea you know what
I'm gonna google and see what itsays about that tv.
So I googled out, whatever itwas, a sony rca, whatever tv it
was.
(28:43):
Uh, how do you fix a?
Or what's wrong with a sony tv?
That plasma tv that clicks whenyou turn it, all this kind of
stuff.
Well then it tells you Iwatched a video on youtube.
It's capacitors.
They look like small littlebatteries.
If they're bubbled on thebackside of it, that means
they're no good and you justhave to replace those.
(29:04):
But it takes a soldering gun totake the old ones out and put
the new ones in.
The longest part about it wasthe three days it took for you
to order them and get themthrough Amazon.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
The longest part about it was unscrewing the back
of it with 900.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh yes, and these TVs a plasma TV weighed about 800
pounds, it seemed like.
So we put a towel down on thekitchen table and me and
Nicholas set it on the kitchentable and I take the whole back
off.
And you're right about that.
You are exactly right about allthose screws.
Took all that out, figured itout from the YouTube video,
(29:42):
ordered the parts from China'msure so the capacitors, which by
I think it was three, maybefour, was probably a total of
seven or eight dollars.
Yeah, we'll just say ten.
Just say ten.
Got them in, sorted them inseveral days.
Once we got it back sorted in,put the back, put the back on it
, plugged it in.
Perfect, worked fine.
(30:03):
I went a whole year with a TV.
That would work if I had justspent just a minute amount of
time looking it up and throwinga $10 bill at the problem, but
now he won't go without a TV fora day.
No, it's a different time, sothat's my TV store.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That's your TV store, yeah, so we went to TVs, from
Katy Perry to TVs.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And before that we went to Hootie and two
Australian twins that talkingscene.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Crazy.
I had something I wanted totalk about, but now I done
forgot.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Well, I figured you were trying to think of
something while I was talking.
I know you weren't payingattention.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
No, I had something.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
About TVs.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
No, hmm, next time.
That's the problem with me.
If I don't jot it down, I'm notgoing to remember.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I guess it looks funny me sitting on one corner
of this chair now that since thedog got down, now I can have
the whole chair to myself.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
how about that?
Oh, last week was Easter and wedidn't put out a didn't put out
a video a podcast an episodeepisode busy, busy, we try it
was busy.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
We try, it was busy.
We try, try, try, how busy wasit?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It was so busy I didn't get a Sunday nap.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You're not going to get one today either.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Watch me.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
When I get in that and I'm almost there right now.
Yesterday I had such goodintentions to clean in my office
back there.
Jody, come get these boxes,burn them.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
I was doing good.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Friday?
No, that was Friday when I gotmost of the boxes.
Yeah, maybe that was Friday.
But then when something hits me, it's some kind of switch that
flips.
I know it is why you can't keepyour eyes open.
I can't stand up.
I got to sit down and you sitme down for five minutes.
I was sitting in the back roomback there with the TV on in a
(32:11):
desk chair, dozing off Like whydidn't I just go lay down and
take a 15-minute nap?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, I was pressure washing in between texts from
you to come get more boxes toburn.
And then I was cutting grassand I was weed eating.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
And I'm back there trying to stay awake and I'm
like I just can't give it up.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I finally walked in one time and you're in
the recliner sleeping.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, I finally went in there.
I'm like I'm done, I'm givingit up.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
And then the next time I came in you was in the
recliner sleeping.
No, because y'all were loud soI couldn't sleep, purposely.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's all I got.
That's it.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
You don't have nothing to bring to this episode
.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I brought me, that's enough.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Input, that is enough .
What was your earliest concert?
You went to.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I don't know.
You tell me, because it waswith you.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Really.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Mm-hmm, it was the all-day thing.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
George Strait.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Tim McGraw, miranda Lambert, not her.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
She was barely born.
Hey, look, before you say that,hold on, I went through.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Gretchen Wilson yes.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
In Sunday school.
Today I went around the class.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And we're talking about Gretchen Wilson.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I said tell me what year all y'all was born.
It's like 2014, 2011, 2009 youknow.
And then nicholas was last one,2004.
I was like, oh, old man, I waslike gray hair, because he
shouldn't be in there.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, because we need to separate it was funny.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Funny, though, because we were doing some
trivia questions before we getstarted on sports trivia, and
some of the questions is likeyou know, I said some of these
stuff y'all ain't going to know.
I said before your time, and Iwas.
You know, it was like early2000s, so I'm thinking it was
before their time.
It's crazy to think that.
And then that's what got me.
(34:11):
I said tell me what you know,just don't tell me your birthday
, just tell me that you, you wasborn and went across.
I was like my goodness.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I'm surprised.
They all knew it.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I know, I know didn't have to think about it, but it
was fun.
But anyway, did we see whatwere her name?
Gretchen.
What was her name?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Gretchen Wilson.
Gretchen Wilson, was itGretchen?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
She was like a one-hit wonder, wasn't she?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I think she's had some more times.
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
We saw Tim McGraw in Faith Hill.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Tim McGraw in Faith Hill.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
We've seen George Strait several times.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, but you said the first one, and I'm talking
about the first one.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We saw one at Legion Field.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
That's the first one.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Okay, it was an all-day thing I think it was
like a 10th row center stage.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, we were close.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, it was.
I mean, we were close enough,it was perfect for me.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I consider it close.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And I had to work that night.
That was back when I workednight shift.
That was terrible, by the way.
That was horrible, horriblenight.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
But we didn't get done till night.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I go into like 11, 12 o'clock.
I work that night.
I don't think we stayed thatlong.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
We stayed long.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It was dark.
We're thinking about differentthings.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
It was an all day thing.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That's the first one I've been to.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I don't remember any concerts after that Toby Mac,
toby Mac, yeah it was Toby Mac,toby Mac, yeah, when was Toby
Mac a few years ago.
Who'd you think?

I wasn't thinking singer.
I don't know what I wasthinking.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I can't think of anybody else.
I mean, I can tell youeverybody that I've ever seen,

We've seen.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I've seen Alan Jackson on Miami Seen George

He gave me the old slapper room.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
My seats adjoined where hewalked in at to the concert and
so my hand out there and he whatabout?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
how you used to get concert tickets.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
You had to stand in line, oh yeah.
Right, mm-hmm, yeah, camp out.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I used to camp out, and now, what do you?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
do.
I didn't know this.
They're trying to change this.
I never even thought.
I've been out of the concertloop for a long time.
Don't care about it, don'tmatter.
I'm kind of like my dad.
He'd be like I don't going.
That's kind of the way I feelright now about concerts.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
And then I get mad at you and you go.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
The hustle, yeah, the hustle and bustle.
I don't know part of that.
So what was my point, ben?
I don't know.
Just like that Gone, I don'tknow.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
See, that's like me, Just like that, and I'm asleep.
I think I got narcolepsy.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
You got something?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
No, I that.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
and I'm asleep.
I think I got narcolepsy.
You got something?
No, I don't have narcolepsy,but I feel like narcolepsy.
You just like fall asleep.
Oh yeah, you just yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I feel like I could do it right now, like I'm really
trying to hold my eyes open andnot go to sleep and there's no
cure for it I don't know, youcan't drive, you're not supposed
to drive or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Well, I know a guy that's had it.
This.
I mean, I've gave him rides towork because he can't drive, and
then, as of a couple of yearsago, he's driving, he's got his
driver's license.
So I'm like I haven't everasked him Did he grow out of it?
Is he healed?
I don't know.
Did they say, hey, I hadn'texperienced it in a long time.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
You're not a singer.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh, our little dog coco.
We have a gap under the door.
She's got her nose in her nose.
She's laying there.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
And then winston is right here they're, they're
looking at each other, yeah he'snot right at the door, he's
probably three or four foot away.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
But if you get down on their level it's like you're
seeing eye to eye.
They're like looking at eachother.
She's so sad because she's notin here.
So sad, I'm sorry.
Coco.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
She says bye.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
She left.
Anyway, I wish I remember whatI was going to say you were
saying Crowder I was saying sawCrowder, I'd like to see Crowder
again.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I think I could do the concerts more than I could
do.
I started to say Space Jamams.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
That ain't right.
You got Talladega today.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Only because I told you.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I would have not known.
You told me late last night andthen this morning I heard it on
what is it called Monster Jams.
Monster Jam yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I could do a concert before I could do Monster Jam
again.
I don't know if I could do thatOutside.
I would totally love it, but inthere and that smell.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Is it the smoke and the loudness?
I think so.
Monster Jam extremely loud,Louder than any concert you can
go to.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, it was fun, though, back in our younger
years.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Monster Jam yeah, yeah, because you're taking a
kid with you every year, it's agood excuse.
I liked going because you coulduse him as an excuse to go.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Do you remember one year he got in trouble and he
couldn't go and me and you justwent?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I kind of remember that now.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
That was so mean.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I don't care If I told you something.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
It made you serious.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, and he had to stay home and just me and you
went because we'd already hadtickets right, because he always
got tickets at christmas formonster jam, because monster jam
, where we live, was alwaysjanuary.
Yeah, so they changed that now.
So santa would always bringmonster.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Now they push it to march, march or april.
I think it's actually aprilthat they the last couple years,
yeah, really yeah, but yeah, itwas always in uh, january it
was always january yeah, that'sfun those are fun and then he
wants to stand in line and getautographs at the end of it.
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
That is like, oh my goodness willie done that two
times, or did we do it twice?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I know one time for sure.
I know one time for sure Idon't think I would have done it
.
I think I still have that shirt, though.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Oh, if I, if I have that shirt, we should take a
picture.
It's a green shirt and it's goteverybody's signatures on there
.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I might know where it's at too, because I have a
bag of kid shirts.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Remember what I was going to say now.
Oh, there you go Going back tothe whole.
You know I told you that Idon't care about.
You know I've been out of theloop with concerts for a long,
long time and you know used tocamp out first in line trying to
get us tickets.
Or you call that number as fastas you could.
You know you just can't redial.
You know that's how it works.
I didn't know this.
They're trying to dolegislation on it now.
(40:27):
Now I'm not all aboutregulation and all this with the
government, but this makessense to me.
They have bots that buy thesetickets, go online, and they're
bots that go and get all thesetickets for a concert or venue
whatever, and then they canresell that on some of these
(40:50):
ticket places.
Oh, ticketmaster, yeah on likewhat's some of these ticket
places?
Oh, ticketmaster.
Yeah, so they adjust the priceto where they can make more
money selling them at adifferent cost.
So, I did not know that, but itmakes sense, you know.
You start thinking about whatall AI and all this stuff could
cause.
Yeah, Crazy.
(41:12):
All right, I got to go, I gotto go, I got to go, finish
cutting grass and doing somestuff.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
You got to take, your , you got to get your beauty
rest.
Yes.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
And then I've got to get this thing published,
another one published and someother stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
I just noticed something.
By the way, I'm going to watchDateline.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Can I say something?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Am I going to stop you?
What do you think?
Have I have to watch Dateline?
Can I say something?
Am I going to stop you?
What do you think?
Have I ever stopped you?
I?
Speaker 1 (41:35):
just noticed that we've got three guns within eye
shot.
I've got a shotgun.
In that corner I've got a .22rifle in that corner.
And then I've got a 12-gaugelaying on the ground beside me
right here, and it's an old,like 1914 model.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
So I guess they're coming to get us.
We got guns, we got our guns.
I just thought that was crazy.
I noticed that the other dayand I was like, Because I can't.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
I would put one in that corner, but I'd get like
something.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
You'd get banned.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
YouTube is good about copywriting stuff that I put
out there.
They like to shut stuff downthat I put out there.
I don't know, and I'm hopingthat you should obey the rules
Now when it says copyright, whenyou put something out there and
they shoot you a thing aboutcopyright infringement or
something.
Now when you go against theirrules, it's almost like a
three-strike deal.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
You can't copyright something.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Do you, I know, do you get a warning?
Do you get this good messageabout everything that you did
wrong?
No or is it like a guessinggame?
So I'm just wondering one ofthe things that I've done.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
You're about to get booted.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Am I about to get booted?
I don't want my YouTube channelto get booted.
I'm about to boot you, maybenot?
I only got three more.
You know, that's the thingabout it.
When they boot you, they gotall your information.
So if you go out there and tryand open up another account or
do whatever, it's like nope, notgoing to happen.
(43:09):
All right, thanks for listening.
We're out of here, see ya.
Thanks for listening.
We're out of here.
See ya, bye-bye.

Yeah, I hit it like five minutes ago.
I actually did.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
So all this that you've been jabbering about it's
out there.
If I could put like the firstfive minutes of our recordings
out there, they'd be like wow.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Bloopers, blooper, reel coming.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I don't know if it's bloopers or Blooper reel.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't know who grabs more me or you during that
first few minutes I'd have tosay me hey, I've got something
that I want to play for you.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So I know you don't like putting on these headset
things right here, but you'regoing to have to to listen to it
, I'm not putting them on.
You're going to have to.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I'm not putting them on.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, look, let me read what this is going to be
about, and then I'll play it.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'm not putting them on, so you don't have to put
them on, I'm not putting them on.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All right.
This is about identical twinsisters.
They go viral for speaking insync while sharing their
mother's scary carjackingexperience.
Have you seen this on TikTok oranything?
No, Are you sure?
Yes, Because that's like comeacross like.
Is it called a feed on TikTok?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, TikTok is stupid.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
All right, australian .
All right then.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Nothing good comes across.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Stupid TikTok, whatever You're on it all the
time.
Yeah, I'm watching nails, soyou like watching stupid stuff
Really?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I don't get any of the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Look, my algorithm is what I do when you do it live
and I get on TikTok and I get onthere just to support you for
just a few minutes.
Man, that messes up thealgorithm for me.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Like I don't care about nails flipped by every
sixth thing.
Stop getting on it with thatother podcast and get on it with
this one.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
All right.
So Australian identical twins,bridget and Paula Power, spoke
with 7 News Queensland about howtheir mother was caught in an
armed carjacking in Queensland,australia, on Monday, april 21st
.
The thing about it is, duringtheir on-camera interview, they
spoke in sync, finishing oneanother's sentences and
answering the interviewer'squestions with the same words.
(02:16):
They were also the subject of a2016 Good Morning Britain
segment, in which Piers Morganlaughed at their synchronized
answers.
Do you know, piers Morgan?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I listen to his.
I've got his podcast that Ilisten to.
It's on favorites.
I just recently startedlistening to it, but I've gotten
to where I can't hardly listento it because the people he has
on there argue and they talkover their self and he doesn't
do anything.
He waits a minute or two whilesorry, put my hands down, he'll
do it for a minute or two, andthen then all of a sudden he
(02:51):
said hold on, hold on, hold on,hold on hold.
And they just keep saying, theykeep talking and it just gets
so aggravating.
Hold on, was that loud?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
all right, do you want to hear what I go well, I'm
gonna all right and we heardthis big bang, we said oh, no,
another car accident so we dropeverything and we went running
out the front.
We seen mum running out from thehouse up there and then other
(03:20):
cars were pulling up and andchecking to see if the person
was okay, and one guy, he was upthere with our mum and he went
up there and he was coming backdown towards us and he goes run,
he's got a gun and, oh, ourhearts started to pound and I
(03:42):
said, oh mum, where's mum?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It sounds like one of the sisters is the lead sister
and the other one's trying tocatch up and finish the scene.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It sounds like the recording is just on top of each
other.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's echoing.
Mum distracted him to make himlook the other way and he looked
the other way and mum ran intothe bush behind the fence and
the guy goes to her.
I'll find you and I'll shootyou.
All I was thinking about whenwe were running.
I hope he doesn't fire.
(04:19):
Yeah, we were so blessed.
How close to him do you thinkyou were?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, see, he was up there and we were past our drive
drive Maybe a hundred meters,it's almost over.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It gets aggravating, does it not?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Because I think it's staged.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So it does sound like one sister's, like I'm watching
you talk and then I'm going totry, so you say something I know
.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So you're going to try to guess what I'm saying and
then you're just going to talk,right?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
over me.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
They staged it.
They staged it.
See, not hard at all.
It's like you know me orsomething it's like you know me
or something.
You're saying it right behindme.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's what she's doing right now.
Some of it, but the thing islike if, if me and you were
talking we're gonna get flatbecause we're making fun of that
well, um, it's interesting,interesting, but the more you
listen to it it's like if me andyou were talking about
something, I need to fix thismic because it's like crazy.
Uh, if we're talking aboutsomething, we're being
interviewed.
Be like, I'm gonna let you talkand then I might cut in because
(05:28):
you, you left something out, orwhatever like that but I'm but
yeah, you are exactly well, mypoint being well, you said, and
I just agree with it.
But the point being is, whoeverit is, you're not going to keep
talking over one another.
Let one person tell the story.
Apparently both y'all know it.
You know over one another.
Let one person tell the story.
Apparently both of y'all knowit.
You know what really needs tohappen.
Let mom tell the story, becausemom got carjacked.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Where is she?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know.
They didn't case the guy.
I do know that, so you didn'tfinish.
They have some kind of Pelicanrefugee, something over in
Australia.
That's what they're known for,or whatever.
I just found that interestingThought.
You might get a hoot out of it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
A hoot A hoot.
What's a hoot A hoot.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You ever got a hoot out of something?
I don't think so.
A hoot nanny what's a hootnanny?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
You ever heard of hootie and the blowfish?
Well yes, okay, did you know.
I saw them in concert.
Yeah, hold my hand.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, I know you tell me everybody you saw in concert.
You just like rub it in?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It was about two years before we started dating.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You was concert hopping.
It was like 1996, somethinglike that 97?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Two years before, not 97.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Excuse me, 96?
.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Actually we started in 96.
We got married in 98.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
95.
How about that?
I'll just go with 95.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
When did you graduate ?
It was in Birmingham 94.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But it seemed like it was a few years after that Were
we dating when I went withsomebody else Just kidding, that
was a joke.
That was a joke.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
See ya.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Edit that.
No, it was whatever time, itwas 95, 96, but I don't remember
who opened for him and I wantto know.
So bad and I need to look it up.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
How do we get on this ?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because of Hoot, oh, hoot and Annie.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Hoot and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Hootie and the Blowfish yeah,okay.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So Birmingham BJCC went to that and I don't know
who opened for them and itdrives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You know what this is .
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You know I did.
I looked it up one time and itdidn't really take me where I
needed to go, so I gave up.
I mean, it wasn't just a simplelittle no, it's not there.
It was like about 10 minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Who opened for Hootie and the Blowfish in 1996.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And if you looked it up and found it like that,
that's great and all I'm justsaying, the time I looked it up
did not find it, did not find it.
You know, we didn't talk aboutit.
We did a TikTok live a week ago.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So if you're listening to this and you don't
follow us on TikTok, you need tofollow us.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, because on Fridays we're trying to do a
tick, talk live and just talkabout stuff and take questions.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I think we should do the live and record and just
make that our episode well thething is about.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That is like you're gonna have these long pauses
because you're trying to read aquestion somebody's giving you
and somebody listens to this ona podcast, on Spotify or
somewhere like that.
It's gonna it's not gonna begood, so it wouldn't work.
Keep talking.
It'd be different if it's likewe're reading emails that we
received.
Yeah, that would be fine, butnot if you're doing a live, a
TikTok live.
But we had questions and thenwe got into conspiracy theories
(08:34):
and then we got off into likeJFK, and then what was it?
True crime, all kinds of stuff.
But we started off with talkingabout the Blue Origin with Katy
Perry and all her minions I sayminions the other five women
that went up in space, the edgeof space, 62 miles up.
(08:58):
I think it was an 11-minuteride that they took.
Was it real or was it not?
Did you ever watch any of the?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
videos.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Did you ever see?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Even after we talked about it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, you didn't research it, it never was.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Hey, that was so interesting that when we talked
about it on the live that youknow I'm going to look it up
when we get done.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Sorry, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Do you ever do that?
No, that when you talk tosomebody about something that's
kind of interesting, you nevergo back and actually look it up
and get more information aboutit.
No, really, really that's veryunusual why would I?
Why would you not?
Why would I?
When you find something thatinteresting that you you just
want to, hey, I'm gonna look,look more in depth into it.
That's what youtube's forthat's what.
(09:42):
Just don't go, just if you'regonna do like conspiracy
theories and that kind of stuff.
Yeah, you, if you go to, I justsuggest don't go to youtube and
start looking crazy stuff up.
But back to the whole blueorigin thing.
The whole thing started wasonce they landed and I saw the
video of when the door openedfrom the inside.
(10:02):
So whoever was on the insideopened the door and it cracked
open several inches and they'reoutside the door and it's Jeff
Bezos.
Bezos, is that how you say it?
Bezos?
Sure, amazon man and anotherlady.
The other lady runs over towhere the little steps are
that's connecting, or they putright there at the door next to
(10:25):
the capsule.
When she sees the door openfrom the inside or whatever that
they're opening, she kind ofruns up to that door and she's
like whoa, whoa, you know, closeit, close it.
You know that's not her exactwords.
That's me talking, so I don'tknow exactly what she did, so
you can hear her say it.
No, oh, I just meant that I'msaying it.
You can tell by her mannerisms.
(10:48):
Okay, you can hear anything Likeshut that door, don't open it.
That's basically what she'ssaying.
So then Jeff comes around there.
I'm just going to call him Jeffbecause we're tight.
Is it Bezos or Bezos Bezos?
I don't know why can't I sayhis name.
He comes bezos bezos, I don'tknow I used why can't I say his
name.
He comes up there with his tooland it does look like a tire,
(11:08):
iron in a way, because it's gotlike a little piece and two
pieces I think it's chrome orwhatever and you're like pops it
on the door right there anddoes like a twist like there and
bam, the door opens.
But when the door opens andswings in, it looks like a
screen door on a trailer.
I mean, it looks like it justflaps in there like it's nothing
.
And when I saw that I was likeokay, I don't know anything
(11:29):
about space, but I'm justthinking like when you get on a
jet airliner, whatever, thedoors on those things are like
four, five, six inches thick.
This is like an inch and a halfmaybe, so, but anyway.
So then that started the wholeconspiracy thing.
I kicked the recorder.
Let me make sure we're stillrecording, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
If you'd be still.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I can't.
I'm all excited.
I'm excited when we're talkingabout this, so that kicks off
the whole thing.
Well, that's funny that this isall happening.
Hmm, it's kind of strange.
Why is this all just for showfor him going up there and
opening up the door and all this?
Then you start hearing thingsabout well, why is the capsule
(12:13):
not dark on the top, or kind ofdark and black to where it's,
you know?
Because any of these rockets orcapsules that come back from
space when they go through there-entry they're traveling so
fast and you know it burns.
They've got tiles on it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
all burns up, got it okay, got, it makes sense makes
sense, because you go 62 milesup.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Surely there's going to be a scratch, a mark,
something on the thing right,surely it's used.
You drive a new vehicle off thelot.
When you get at home you mighthave a little something on there
right just from the ride home,so surely this one would.
Are you tired of me talking?
No, are you listening?
No, oh, my goodness, uh-oh, soyou got that.
(12:55):
And then they show where theview from the inside, from when
they land.
And when they land it lookslike it's very soft landing from
inside, but on the outside it'spretty rough landing.
Then you've got when they'reactually up in space.
Everybody's spending more timelooking at the camera, doing
their little thing, like KatyPerry's got her little daisy
(13:15):
right there in front of her, herflower showing it to the camera
, and all this kind of stuff.
They're like why is nobodylooking out at the earth,
looking out at space?
Forget the camera.
I'm taking it all in.
I don't have much time becausethis baby's starting to come
back down to earth, so I'mchecking it all out, right.
Plus, it ain't cheap to takethis ride, okay.
(13:36):
So you start adding all thisstuff up and you're like is any
of this real?
So I'm just saying, why'd?
they do it well, it's some somekind of publicity publicity I
almost said splint stunt, do younot think so?
Because they made it such a bigthing, like it's women's rights
(13:57):
or something I don't know.
But it's like you know what, dothis, you know what do a
lottery.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm all for women's rights, but I still want a man
to take care of me.
Yeah Well, the thing aboutBecause that's the way it's
supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, but the thing about this is well, this is
great and all, but don't carry-.
One of them called herself.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They're astronauts now You're not an astronaut,
once you take that money and putCuring cancer.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh, you're going to be one of those now.
Yep, you sound like one ofthose people that writes a
comment in there.
I'm writing a comment.
You're so rich, why don't youuse your money for something?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Exactly, but my point being is like why are you going
Space?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
My point is that.
So if you're going to do thisand all of them are big climate
activists, you know do it forMother Earth and all this.
They got to take care of her.
Well, how much carbon did youput in the stupid atmosphere
from going up there to take yourpretty little picture with your
stuffed animal and your flower?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What's the meme I sent you the other day?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I don't remember.
You have to look it up.
I got to look this one upbecause it was good, but if you
go back to the whole thing, whythe capsule is not darkened on
the outside like it's burned upor anything, well, they don't
get high enough to actually gothrough that whole experience of
like a re-entry.
So I get all that.
I get all of it.
I'm not denying that theydidn't go to space.
It's like I'm sure, but when'sthe door?
(15:16):
The whole door thing happened?
All that space, I know, butwhen the whole door thing
happened?
When they're on the ground?
yeah it starts to click with youLike man, this is like a
publicity stunt.
Is all this real?
What else?
If that's happening, they'restaging how they open the door.
Is anything else staged?
That's all I'm saying.
I'm just glad they made it backsafe.
(15:37):
You know why don't you go toyour photos?
Oh, we have a special guest.
Winston is back with us.
Winston has been with us.
Yeah, he's been with us everyepisode.
He has slept through everyepisode.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Is that a picture or just a?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Breaking news Katy Perry has just stepped in a
puddle and is there for now adeep sea diver.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, that's right.
That's a good one.
Yeah, but don't call yourselfan if I go up in space, on the
edge of space.
Yeah, I'm not calling myself anastronaut, right?
I didn't go through theschooling, I didn't go through
the training.
Years and years and years of allthis you have to go through to
call yourself an astronaut.
So don't be going up there justbecause you spent two days
(16:26):
training.
And then you go up to the edgeof space and now I'm an
astronaut.
The edge no.
And then their outfits they'rewearing it's like specially made
from some fashion person.
They probably cost a couplethousand dollars, I don't know A
couple of thousand, I don'tknow A couple of thousand, I
don't know.
I don't know Whatever it was,but I would think too, you know,
(16:50):
michael Strahan, what's hisname?
From Star Trek, old guy, Icannot remember what is his name
Captain Kirk.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I was about to say Captain Hook, no.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
He went up, you know.
So I mean this stuff happens,but I would think if you're
going up there, this is aespecially the landing part and
everything.
Why are they not wearing like ahelmet?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, the whole time.
They don't have to have ahelmet.
Yeah, for safety, did they weara?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
helmet?
No, they did not.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So you can do that and not wear any of that.
I guess so Well when you're inthe capsule, you don't wear it.
You wear it afterwards, right,when you get out, when you get
out and jump in the capsule.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh, I'm not talking about like a space suit.
I'm not talking about likeyou're getting out into space
and you need the oxygen.
No, I'm not talking about that.
I'm just talking about, forsafety, throw me on a you know,
a motorcycle I mean we put ourhelmets on when the tornadoes
are coming well that you know wetalked about what.
I went back and listened to thatand it made it sound like I was
sitting with a bicycle helmeton the couch watching james pan
(17:52):
when bad weather was happening.
That was not what I meant.
I tried the helmet on to see ifit fit and that was Now.
If James Spann says where welive at and gave me the address
and it's like right on top, yeah, I am putting the helmet on and
I'm wearing it because I hearthe freight train coming.
Yes, it's coming, but if youlisten to, that episode.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
It was like you in this past Friday.
You scream like a little girl.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh my goodness, tell us about what happened Friday.
This is Sunday.
You're like a little girl.
We just got back from church.
I haven't changed clothes.
Amanda has.
She's ragged me because I'm inmy dress clothes and church
clothes and she's dressed down.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
She thinks I'm making her look bad but I'm not trying
to Slob, not trying to you makeme look like a slob.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
So two days ago, which is Friday now, it's rained
, don't get me wrong.
It has rained every day for thelast six days, every day, some
days heavier than others, somedays all day long, some days on
and off, whatever.
So Friday rode around.
What happened?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It was raining.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It was raining.
I got home from work.
You were here, nicholas washere.
I don't know how long it'd been, did it just start coming a
storm?
Yeah it had been raining, Idon't know.
Anyway it started lightningreally bad we were outside it
started, yeah, when we wereoutside.
And you know how, when you, ifyou see lightning, you like you,
(19:17):
you sense a flash, like fromwherever you know, like from the
left or right, in front of you,behind you, whatever.
Well, this was one of that, aflash that's all around you.
One of those things.
You saw it one way and I saw itthe other way we were both
turned away from each other,yeah, but it was all around just
one of those things.
So we went inside and I mighthave done it again.
(19:39):
It was loud, yeah, before wewent inside.
How long have we been inside?
A couple minutes, or it wasn'teven that long.
I don't know, I don't either,but there was, it sounded like
lightning.
Got us it hit the house, hitright behind the house.
I don't know, but when it didthat there was a big old pop
(20:03):
behind the TV, in the cornerwhere all of our electronics and
stuff is.
But the power didn't go off,not at that point, remember,
because the TV popped twice.
Yeah, it was the second timethe power went off Second time,
and I don't remember how long inbetween the first pop and the
second.
Not long 30 seconds maybe, Idon't think it was a minute.
So then there was another pop Idon't know if it's the first
(20:24):
part when I was like screamingto nicholas to like unplug every
electrical thing.
You got plugged in now, um,because I had that pop anyway.
So it had two pops.
That second pop power out andit's still raining, it's still
lightening, all this stuff likegood night.
So you get on on the app and orthe power company says they're
(20:47):
aware of the outage.
I reported it.
Yeah, you did report it, or italready said it was aware no, I
reported it right when ithappened then spectrum and then
it sends a thing and saysthey're aware okay, and then
spectrum, which we don't do tvanymore because we cut the cord,
but we do get our internetthrough them.
They had an outage, of course.
(21:07):
They have an outage when windblows see smoke coming out of
the attic, because I'm like ifthis thing hit the house, what
if the house is on fire and wejust don't know about it yet?
And by the time we realize itis too late.
So went outside, waited to seeif any smoke coming out the
(21:29):
vents, nothing like that.
Went around to the back side ofthe house to try and see.
Hey, did it hit the ground, hitthe tree hit, the antenna hit
what we was.
Looking all over, looking allover the place and then all of a
sudden you start smellingsomething burning, and so me and
Nicholas tried to trace it out.
Walked up the hill, walked here, all that, anyway, never
figured out where the burningsmell came from.
(21:51):
But eventually it was gone.
And then nothing.
Well, power company came andchanged that a little part right
before you get to thetransformer on there, ended all
that powers back on, come inhere and guess what?
What happens?
No tv no tv, it has friedspeaker worked fried our tv.
(22:17):
The sound bar that we've gothooked to the TV is fine.
All the other stuff that'saround, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
But they were plugged .
We got to get a surge protector, the.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
TV was not in a surge protector.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
And I have no clue why.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
But a surge protector really does not help when it's
a lightning strike.
A surge protector helps whenthere's a surge of power, like
if it's off and goes back on,but I still feel better.
But why didn't it do anythingelse?
I mean, why didn't it?
Why not?
You said, it made our lotsbroader so, all right, I was
getting to that point.
So our tv is out.
We've got a 65 inch tv whichyou can buy them pretty cheap
(22:53):
now, 65 inch tv we could havelived with the one we were
watching 65 inch tv gone I couldhave gone, and now I don.
And now I'm not doing this again.
We'll get to the other storyabout the TV that went out one
time and I lived with like an 18inch for a year.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So and we tell y'all we don't watch TV.
And here he is the very nextmorning.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I know, I know.
No, it's like a comfort thing,it's like a comfort blanket.
As long as the TV's there, itcan be off, but it's got to be
there, I've got to have a.
Tv.
It's got to be there.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
We have one.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's just not the right size.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It was fine.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
So later on, I guess we didn't turn the kitchen light
on until later, because when itgot dark because this is 4 or 5
o'clock at night, 3 o'clock atnight, no, it was 3 o'clock at
night School was still in, yeah,so it was before 3.
But anyway.
So I guess when it startedgetting dark or whatever, you
turn the kitchen light on andthe bulbs for our kitchen
(23:55):
fixture, it's like the sunbeaming down.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
I think it's because the big TV wasn't on and there
was no more light anywhere.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
No, you're making it sound like power's being drained
down.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
It was because you and your big TV.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That TV does not take that much.
That is ridiculous.
Don't even think that.
But no, the lights areextremely.
It's like you change the bulband put 10 times brighter bulbs.
Don't know, I don't knowanything about this.
Somebody out there might belike, oh that's, you know an
easy answer to that.
I don't know, but it was crazy.
But you go outside and we gottwo floodlights and one of those
(24:35):
is not working.
So all right, so their LED issupposed to last 20 years.
Apparently not, so I I took itoff.
So the next day, saturdaymorning, we decided to go.
We're gonna have to get a tv,so we buy the exact same tv
didn't have to yeah, got it.
Okay.
(24:55):
Well, let me go back.
You would say hey, we'll moveanother table, we got in there.
And what size is it?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
32.
Is it 32?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Okay, half the size, but it seemed like 10 times
smaller.
I guess in that spot, I guessin that spot I was trying to
make you hang it on the wall.
It looked like a small framethat you had positioned on your
entertainment center.
That's exactly what it lookedlike.
It was fine.
So like well, when we firststarted, the sound bar wasn't
hooked up to it and the TVsounded terrible, and so it was
(25:28):
like this, and you have tosquint your eyes to see it.
Where are you going, dog?
And he's gone.
I must be making too much noise.
I might have hit him with myhand.
You probably did.
You can't be still.
So the next morning, saturdaymorning, we go get the TV and I
get a pack of bulbs for thefloodlights.
Do all that Get back Later onthat Saturday night I notice I'm
(25:55):
studying for Sunday school andwe got the kitchen light on and
it just gets like damn.
I'm like what is going on?
It's almost like everything.
The power is going away, youknow, it's just seeping away and
I'm like what is what'shappening?
And I look and one of the bulbsis blown.
It's LED, now it's gone.
(26:17):
And the other one, you know, ofcourse, is working.
But so now I got one bulb out,I eventually go outside and then
I notice that the twofloodlights the one that I
changed out is on, but the otherone beside it now it's not.
It's not working, it's justtime.
It's not time.
There's no way.
So you're talking about a TVgetting knocked out, light bulbs
(26:39):
in your kitchen going extremelybright for 24 hours, one of
those going out, and then afloodlight that got taken out
got changed, and then the otherone going out within 24 hours.
This is not coincidence.
What is going on?
Nothing, I know.
That light we got right thereis on, I know, because it's
(27:00):
bright, it's hot, it is's my.
That's my story.
So the other thing we had a uhwhat kind of a plasma tv years
ago when they it wasn't rightwhen they first came out, but
years later when it was a littlebit more, a little bit more
reasonable, but still expensive,expensive.
So we got it.
(27:21):
And those plasma TVs, if youever had one back in the day,
them things give off some heat,a lot of heat, and it went out.
It finally got to where, whenyou turn it on or turn it off,
it'd click.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You have to unplug it you have to unplug it.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's kind of like it resets, plug it back in and then
you're hoping for the best.
Sometime it'd come on.
Sometimes it wouldn't.
You had to keep doing it.
Eventually it got to where,when you turned it on, it went
click, click, click, click andthat's all I'd do.
So it's messed up.
So we end up like I am notbuying, because this is still
when tvs were still fairlyexpensive, you know.
(27:58):
So, at least that size.
So we get a small one out ofone of our bedrooms, and it's
not a 32 inch was it.
No, it was smaller it wassmaller than that, I don't know
whatever size, so we put it in24 probably.
So we put that.
And this was right duringfootball season, I think, was it
not?
maybe maybe we put it right infront of the plasma tv on the
(28:23):
entertainment series, popped itright there and then watched it.
And it's terrible, absolutelyterrible, did that for almost a
year and then one day jody gotthe bright idea you know what
I'm gonna google and see what itsays about that tv.
So I googled out, whatever itwas, a sony rca, whatever tv it
was.
(28:43):
Uh, how do you fix a?
Or what's wrong with a sony tv?
That plasma tv that clicks whenyou turn it, all this kind of
stuff.
Well then it tells you Iwatched a video on youtube.
It's capacitors.
They look like small littlebatteries.
If they're bubbled on thebackside of it, that means
they're no good and you justhave to replace those.
(29:04):
But it takes a soldering gun totake the old ones out and put
the new ones in.
The longest part about it wasthe three days it took for you
to order them and get themthrough Amazon.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
The longest part about it was unscrewing the back
of it with 900.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh yes, and these TVs a plasma TV weighed about 800
pounds, it seemed like.
So we put a towel down on thekitchen table and me and
Nicholas set it on the kitchentable and I take the whole back
off.
And you're right about that.
You are exactly right about allthose screws.
Took all that out, figured itout from the YouTube video,
(29:42):
ordered the parts from China'msure so the capacitors, which by
I think it was three, maybefour, was probably a total of
seven or eight dollars.
Yeah, we'll just say ten.
Just say ten.
Got them in, sorted them inseveral days.
Once we got it back sorted in,put the back, put the back on it
, plugged it in.
Perfect, worked fine.
(30:03):
I went a whole year with a TV.
That would work if I had justspent just a minute amount of
time looking it up and throwinga $10 bill at the problem, but
now he won't go without a TV fora day.
No, it's a different time, sothat's my TV store.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That's your TV store, yeah, so we went to TVs, from
Katy Perry to TVs.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And before that we went to Hootie and two
Australian twins that talkingscene.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Crazy.
I had something I wanted totalk about, but now I done
forgot.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Well, I figured you were trying to think of
something while I was talking.
I know you weren't payingattention.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
No, I had something.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
About TVs.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
No, hmm, next time.
That's the problem with me.
If I don't jot it down, I'm notgoing to remember.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
I guess it looks funny me sitting on one corner
of this chair now that since thedog got down, now I can have
the whole chair to myself.
How about that?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
how about that?
Oh, last week was Easter and wedidn't put out a didn't put out
a video a podcast an episodeepisode busy, busy, we try it
was busy.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
We try, it was busy.
We try, try, try, how busy wasit?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It was so busy I didn't get a Sunday nap.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
You're not going to get one today either.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Watch me.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
When I get in that and I'm almost there right now.
Yesterday I had such goodintentions to clean in my office
back there.
Jody, come get these boxes,burn them.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
I was doing good.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Friday?
No, that was Friday when I gotmost of the boxes.
Yeah, maybe that was Friday.
But then when something hits me, it's some kind of switch that
flips.
I know it is why you can't keepyour eyes open.
I can't stand up.
I got to sit down and you sitme down for five minutes.
I was sitting in the back roomback there with the TV on in a
(32:11):
desk chair, dozing off Like whydidn't I just go lay down and
take a 15-minute nap?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, I was pressure washing in between texts from
you to come get more boxes toburn.
And then I was cutting grassand I was weed eating.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
And I'm back there trying to stay awake and I'm
like I just can't give it up.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I finally walked in one time and you're in
the recliner sleeping.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Yeah, I finally went in there.
I'm like I'm done, I'm givingit up.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
And then the next time I came in you was in the
recliner sleeping.
No, because y'all were loud soI couldn't sleep, purposely.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's all I got.
That's it.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
You don't have nothing to bring to this episode
.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
I brought me, that's enough.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Input, that is enough .
What was your earliest concert?
You went to.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I don't know.
You tell me, because it waswith you.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Really.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Mm-hmm, it was the all-day thing.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
George Strait.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Tim McGraw, miranda Lambert, not her.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
She was barely born.
Hey, look, before you say that,hold on, I went through.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Gretchen Wilson yes.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
In Sunday school.
Today I went around the class.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And we're talking about Gretchen Wilson.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I said tell me what year all y'all was born.
It's like 2014, 2011, 2009 youknow.
And then nicholas was last one,2004.
I was like, oh, old man, I waslike gray hair, because he
shouldn't be in there.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yeah, because we need to separate it was funny.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Funny, though, because we were doing some
trivia questions before we getstarted on sports trivia, and
some of the questions is likeyou know, I said some of these
stuff y'all ain't going to know.
I said before your time, and Iwas.
You know, it was like early2000s, so I'm thinking it was
before their time.
It's crazy to think that.
And then that's what got me.
(34:11):
I said tell me what you know,just don't tell me your birthday
, just tell me that you, you wasborn and went across.
I was like my goodness.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I'm surprised.
They all knew it.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
I know, I know didn't have to think about it, but it
was fun.
But anyway, did we see whatwere her name?
Gretchen.
What was her name?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Gretchen Wilson.
Gretchen Wilson, was itGretchen?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
She was like a one-hit wonder, wasn't she?
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I think she's had some more times.
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
We saw Tim McGraw in Faith Hill.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Tim McGraw in Faith Hill.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
We've seen George Strait several times.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, but you said the first one, and I'm talking
about the first one.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
We saw one at Legion Field.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
That's the first one.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Okay, it was an all-day thing I think it was
like a 10th row center stage.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yeah, we were close.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, it was.
I mean, we were close enough,it was perfect for me.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
I consider it close.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And I had to work that night.
That was back when I workednight shift.
That was terrible, by the way.
That was horrible, horriblenight.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
But we didn't get done till night.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I go into like 11, 12 o'clock.
I work that night.
I don't think we stayed thatlong.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
We stayed long.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It was dark.
We're thinking about differentthings.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
It was an all day thing.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That's the first one I've been to.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I don't remember any concerts after that Toby Mac,
toby Mac, yeah it was Toby Mac,toby Mac, yeah, when was Toby
Mac a few years ago.
Who'd you think?

I wasn't thinking singer.
I don't know what I wasthinking.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I can't think of anybody else.
I mean, I can tell youeverybody that I've ever seen,

We've seen.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I've seen Alan Jackson on Miami Seen George

He gave me the old slapper room.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
My seats adjoined where hewalked in at to the concert and
so my hand out there and he whatabout?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
how you used to get concert tickets.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
You had to stand in line, oh yeah.
Right, mm-hmm, yeah, camp out.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I used to camp out, and now, what do you?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
do.
I didn't know this.
They're trying to change this.
I never even thought.
I've been out of the concertloop for a long time.
Don't care about it, don'tmatter.
I'm kind of like my dad.
He'd be like I don't going.
That's kind of the way I feelright now about concerts.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
And then I get mad at you and you go.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
The hustle, yeah, the hustle and bustle.
I don't know part of that.
So what was my point, ben?
I don't know.
Just like that Gone, I don'tknow.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
See, that's like me, Just like that, and I'm asleep.
I think I got narcolepsy.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
You got something?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
No, I that.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
and I'm asleep.
I think I got narcolepsy.
You got something?
No, I don't have narcolepsy,but I feel like narcolepsy.
You just like fall asleep.
Oh yeah, you just yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I feel like I could do it right now, like I'm really
trying to hold my eyes open andnot go to sleep and there's no
cure for it I don't know, youcan't drive, you're not supposed
to drive or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Well, I know a guy that's had it.
This.
I mean, I've gave him rides towork because he can't drive, and
then, as of a couple of yearsago, he's driving, he's got his
driver's license.
So I'm like I haven't everasked him Did he grow out of it?
Is he healed?
I don't know.
Did they say, hey, I hadn'texperienced it in a long time.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
You're not a singer.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh, our little dog coco.
We have a gap under the door.
She's got her nose in her nose.
She's laying there.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
And then winston is right here they're, they're
looking at each other, yeah he'snot right at the door, he's
probably three or four foot away.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
But if you get down on their level it's like you're
seeing eye to eye.
They're like looking at eachother.
She's so sad because she's notin here.
So sad, I'm sorry.
Coco.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
She says bye.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
She left.
Anyway, I wish I remember whatI was going to say you were
saying Crowder I was saying sawCrowder, I'd like to see Crowder
again.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I think I could do the concerts more than I could
do.
I started to say Space Jamams.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
That ain't right.
You got Talladega today.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Only because I told you.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I would have not known.
You told me late last night andthen this morning I heard it on
what is it called Monster Jams.
Monster Jam yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I could do a concert before I could do Monster Jam
again.
I don't know if I could do thatOutside.
I would totally love it, but inthere and that smell.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Is it the smoke and the loudness?
I think so.
Monster Jam extremely loud,Louder than any concert you can
go to.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, it was fun, though, back in our younger
years.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Monster Jam yeah, yeah, because you're taking a
kid with you every year, it's agood excuse.
I liked going because you coulduse him as an excuse to go.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Do you remember one year he got in trouble and he
couldn't go and me and you justwent?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I kind of remember that now.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
That was so mean.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
I don't care If I told you something.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
It made you serious.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah, and he had to stay home and just me and you
went because we'd already hadtickets right, because he always
got tickets at christmas formonster jam, because monster jam
, where we live, was alwaysjanuary.
Yeah, so they changed that now.
So santa would always bringmonster.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Now they push it to march, march or april.
I think it's actually aprilthat they the last couple years,
yeah, really yeah, but yeah, itwas always in uh, january it
was always january yeah, that'sfun those are fun and then he
wants to stand in line and getautographs at the end of it.
That is crazy.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
That is like, oh my goodness willie done that two
times, or did we do it twice?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I know one time for sure.
I know one time for sure Idon't think I would have done it
.
I think I still have that shirt, though.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Oh, if I, if I have that shirt, we should take a
picture.
It's a green shirt and it's goteverybody's signatures on there
.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
I might know where it's at too, because I have a
bag of kid shirts.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Remember what I was going to say now.
Oh, there you go Going back tothe whole.
You know I told you that Idon't care about.
You know I've been out of theloop with concerts for a long,
long time and you know used tocamp out first in line trying to
get us tickets.
Or you call that number as fastas you could.
You know you just can't redial.
You know that's how it works.
I didn't know this.
They're trying to dolegislation on it now.
(40:27):
Now I'm not all aboutregulation and all this with the
government, but this makessense to me.
They have bots that buy thesetickets, go online, and they're
bots that go and get all thesetickets for a concert or venue
whatever, and then they canresell that on some of these
(40:50):
ticket places.
Oh, ticketmaster, yeah on likewhat's some of these ticket
places?
Oh, ticketmaster.
Yeah, so they adjust the priceto where they can make more
money selling them at adifferent cost.
So, I did not know that, but itmakes sense, you know.
You start thinking about whatall AI and all this stuff could
cause.
Yeah, Crazy.
(41:12):
All right, I got to go, I gotto go, I got to go, finish
cutting grass and doing somestuff.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
You got to take, your , you got to get your beauty
rest.
Yes.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
And then I've got to get this thing published,
another one published and someother stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
I just noticed something.
By the way, I'm going to watchDateline.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Can I say something?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Am I going to stop you?
What do you think?
Have I have to watch Dateline?
Can I say something?
Am I going to stop you?
What do you think?
Have I ever stopped you?
I?
Speaker 1 (41:35):
just noticed that we've got three guns within eye
shot.
I've got a shotgun.
In that corner I've got a .22rifle in that corner.
And then I've got a 12-gaugelaying on the ground beside me
right here, and it's an old,like 1914 model.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
So I guess they're coming to get us.
We got guns, we got our guns.
I just thought that was crazy.
I noticed that the other dayand I was like, Because I can't.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
I would put one in that corner, but I'd get like
something.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
You'd get banned.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
YouTube is good about copywriting stuff that I put
out there.
They like to shut stuff downthat I put out there.
I don't know, and I'm hopingthat you should obey the rules
Now when it says copyright, whenyou put something out there and
they shoot you a thing aboutcopyright infringement or
something.
Now when you go against theirrules, it's almost like a
three-strike deal.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
You can't copyright something.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Do you, I know, do you get a warning?
Do you get this good messageabout everything that you did
wrong?
No or is it like a guessinggame?
So I'm just wondering one ofthe things that I've done.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
You're about to get booted.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Am I about to get booted?
I don't want my YouTube channelto get booted.
I'm about to boot you, maybenot?
I only got three more.
You know, that's the thingabout it.
When they boot you, they gotall your information.
So if you go out there and tryand open up another account or
do whatever, it's like nope, notgoing to happen.
(43:09):
All right, thanks for listening.
We're out of here, see ya.
Thanks for listening.
We're out of here.
See ya, bye-bye.
