We trace how a quiet lake ritual turned into a TikTok live with tens of thousands of drop-ins, then wrestle with what to do when the fish leave and the algorithm wants more. Along the way we argue about clothes, leftovers, phone privacy, and the cost of dinner.
• going from passive scrolling to consistent creation
• two podcasts, time costs, and burnout risk
• catfish feeding lives, spikes to 26k viewers, retention
• mixing hobbies with the podcast brand on one account
• TikTok algorithm timing and late-night peaks
• are phones listening and how suggestions shape behavior
• fallback content plans when the lake season ends
• marriage micro-battles: clothes, ice, leftovers limits
• eating out vs groceries, apps, deals, and church dinners

SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
And why do you say I'm mad?
SPEAKER_01 (01:09):
Because I don't change my clothes.
SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
How many women come home and take their clothes off
and change into something morecomfortable?
Most women, I would say, fromchurch, you're gonna come home
and you're gonna change yourclothes.
I even change mine sometimeswhen I come home from work.
SPEAKER_01 (01:30):
Well, I normally change well during the week I
really don't have to.
But after church, a lot of timesI change, but it just depends on
if I'm in a hurry, like I'm in ahurry to get this recorded.
So I'm not taking the time to gochange.
SPEAKER_02 (01:43):
But you should because I'm taking the time to
go change, so you got time tochange.
SPEAKER_01 (01:47):
You also know that I said, hey, when we get home,
we're recording.
So I'm I'm trying to let youknow hey, don't change the
channel.
SPEAKER_02 (01:54):

I threw a load of clothes in thewasher, I changed clothes, and I
ate a bite.
SPEAKER_01 (01:59):

Well, I was doing some other stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (02:04):
You have plenty of time to change clothes.
SPEAKER_01 (02:06):
But anyway, that doesn't matter.
So I'm in my Sunday's best andyou're in your comfies.
Comfies.
So we're gonna talk about notreally social media, but going
from Is this what we're talkingabout?
Am I going on the right path?
Where basically w you don't doany social media, you watch
(02:27):
stuff, you know, you don'treally participate anything, but
then all of a sudden, next thingyou know, you're doing videos,
you're doing TikToks, you're uhon Instagram, you've got all
these accounts, right?
Set up for Who are you talkingabout?
I'm talking about for just ingeneral.
SPEAKER_02 (02:43):
In general.
Like, okay.
SPEAKER_01 (02:44):
So you go from just watching people to where, hey,
now we're part of it.
Basically, like some saying,like when we started this
podcast.
You know, so I I started twopodcasts at the same time.
Like a goofball.
Yeah.
So it was like very, very timeconsuming.
(03:05):
So we went jump in anytime,because this is what you kind of
wanted to talk about.
So the long level.
SPEAKER_02 (03:10):
I was talking about you, not everybody.
SPEAKER_01 (03:12):
Just me?
Alright, we'll talk about methen.
SPEAKER_02 (03:16):
How you never used to do social media and now
that's all you do.
I can't even get him to come inthe house in the afternoons to
watch anything because he'sgotta go do a live.
SPEAKER_01 (03:29):
Alright, so when you say social media, it's not like
I'm on Facebook just scrollingand scrolling and watching,
because I don't do that.
SPEAKER_02 (03:37):
No, you all you you've got that stupid thing in
your ear and you listen topodcasts all the time.
SPEAKER_01 (03:42):
Yeah, I listen to podcasts.
So I'm not doing social mediaall the time.
SPEAKER_02 (03:44):
And you don't pay me attention.
SPEAKER_01 (03:46):
But you're making it sound like I'm just involved in
social media all the time.
But I'm not.
SPEAKER_02 (03:51):
But you got it and you do it more now.
SPEAKER_01 (03:53):
I do.
But that goes back to thepodcasts, having two podcasts,
and then doing the editing, andthen trying to do a video and
trying to do little snippetshere and there and put it out
there and trying to fit it onFacebook or Instagram or TikTok
or what what am I missing?
What else is there?
YouTube.
So and then setting up all theseaccounts, and it just took time
(04:16):
and time.
Why are you checking it rightnow?
Because we're talking.
SPEAKER_02 (04:19):
Because because I never have a memory and I never
remember to check it, and I puta video on it not long ago.
SPEAKER_01 (04:25):
So YouTube.
SPEAKER_02 (04:26):
So I just wanted to see where it was at.
So oh, I gained two followers.
SPEAKER_01 (04:32):
But what has happened now is our so the other
podcast that we've been doinghas kind of gone away.
So now we've just got this one,this, that, another.
And so I have converted, youknow, I I feed catfish on the
lake every evening.
We've done this all the time.
This isn't nothing new, youknow.
(04:54):
So I was trying to decide, hey,I want to start videoing and let
people see what I do.
So I just decided to use thethis, that, and other TikTok
account.
And so I started doing a live,in which you're telling me that
you don't understand how I'mable to do a live because at the
time You're supposed to have atleast 500 followers.
SPEAKER_02 (05:14):
Right, and I think And a thousand to put a link in
the thing, but I mean you're notputting a link, so that doesn't
matter.
It used to be a thousandfollowers when I first started
two, three years ago.
You had to have a thousandfollowers before you could go
live.
SPEAKER_01 (05:30):
So I think we had maybe a hundred and fifty.
Something like that.
SPEAKER_02 (05:34):
When you started.
SPEAKER_01 (05:35):
When I started.
So two weeks ago I decided Ididn't know what account to do
this under.
I decided to do it under thispodcast account.
I went, I did a live.
I'm out there at the water.
I'm just talking it up, talkingabout how I feed these fish, and
I've got these catfish pellets.
I'm throwing them out there, andI've got a bunch of, you know,
over a hundred catfish that comeup.
And this is on a lake.
(05:55):
This isn't a pond.
This isn't a private lake.
This is a full-fledged, youknow, lake.
And uh it just grant gained likethe first one we did, had like
over 8,000 viewers.
Now I understand too that that'speople that's popping in there
for five or ten seconds, youknow, and then leaving, and then
you got some that'll stay thewhole hour and all that stuff.
(06:17):
But then it got to where, youknow, a few evenings ago we had
almost 26,000 was on there.
So it's almost like now I I cansee how people get so involved
in this because it's almost nowlike, oh, that's a lot of
people.
And now I feel like like lastnight I only had like 3,500.
And then the night before thatit was like 5,500, something
(06:39):
like that, which is fine, butI'm like, can I beat that
26,000?
SPEAKER_02 (06:45):
You'll never beat that.
SPEAKER_01 (06:46):
I think that'll be not a fluke.
Right.
There was a fluke, I had 16,000too, also, thank you very much.
But what I'm getting at is so Inever not and and the thing
about that too is I'm not infront of the camera, and that's
fine, because I I don't wantthat.
But it's cool to be behind thecamera and showing people just
(07:07):
something I do as a hobby andpeople enjoying it because
they're asking questions and allthat.
But the funny thing is, is I'veit's on this account, our
podcast account.
And what I should have reallydone was set up like a nature
type fishing.
SPEAKER_02 (07:21):
Not really.
SPEAKER_01 (07:22):
You don't think so?
SPEAKER_02 (07:23):
No.
Why don't you just I was gonnasay twinkle?
That's not the right word.
Sprinkle, you need to you needto nourish your account, you
need to be putting videos outthere.
You need to take some of yourYouTube videos, slice them up,
and put them on there.
SPEAKER_01 (07:40):
I know, but it if you look at the account, if
anybody that listens to thispodcast and they go to our
TikTok and then they're gonna belike, And they put and we put
But I'm just saying the firstthing they go to it now is
they're seeing, hey, there's aguy that's throwing food out to
these fish, and that's crazy.
Well, no, you just put this myhobby.
But before that is videos of usdoing this.
(08:01):
So I mean it's just it it kindof doesn't fit.
It's almost like I just slungvideos in there that shouldn't
have been in there, so to speak.
But that's okay.
It didn't fit the criteria.
SPEAKER_02 (08:10):
But that's okay because people are learning
about you and what you like todo.
People want to see.
SPEAKER_01 (08:17):
I guess so.
It's it is crazy how people wantto see this, how they'll watch.
And I'll have people that watchfor the full hour.
Hour and ten minutes.
I now I'm doing it for like anhour and a half, but there'll be
people that'll watch me feedthese fish for over an hour.
I'm thinking, that is I don't doany of that.
I do not watch live.
TikTok, I never think aboutwatching a lie.
(08:38):
I never go on it with an optionat the top, is it not?
You go to the lives and you canscroll through and see what
there are.
I never do that.
Now if I go through and I seesomebody is live and it might be
something interesting, I mightgo on it, but that is very
seldom.
But so on the the studio part ofthese lives is telling me that m
(09:01):
my viewers normally watch videosat eleven o'clock at night.
That's when the biggest uh Iguess I'm out.
Does that sound right to you?
Eleven o'clock at night.
SPEAKER_02 (09:13):
Is that eleven o'clock your time?
Eleven o'clock their time?
SPEAKER_01 (09:15):
I mean o'clock our time.
Because these shows at fouro'clock it's low, it increases a
little bit at five.
I'm doing the videos between sixand after seven.
It's gone up eight o'clock alittle bit, and then nine it
starts increasing, ten andeleven it peaks, and then
midnight it's about the same,and then it goes down at one
a.m.
(09:36):
and and all that again.
SPEAKER_02 (09:37):
So I guess people's settling down.
SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
But that seems very late to settle down.
SPEAKER_02 (09:43):
Yeah, that's because you go to bed at eight o'clock.
SPEAKER_01 (09:45):
But that doesn't matter.
I'm just still thinking thatpeople settle down at eight or
nine o'clock, do they not?
And when I say settle down,they're sitting in a recliner,
they're sitting in front of theTV, they're on the couch,
whatever with whoever, andthey've got their phone out and
they're they're watching stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (09:58):
Maybe.
SPEAKER_01 (10:01):
And Winston is sitting beside me and he's gonna
be.
SPEAKER_02 (10:03):
Winston's getting on my nerves.
I need him to go out.
SPEAKER_01 (10:05):
He will not stop biting my hand.
SPEAKER_02 (10:08):
I want him to stop.
SPEAKER_01 (10:09):
And I'm just trying to pet him to try and settle him
down, and now when I stop, I'mI'm about to put him out.
So I'm gonna leave him alone.
SPEAKER_02 (10:18):
I thought the air was gonna come on, so I have my
blanket right here.
But it's a little warm, so I'mgonna put the blanket over there
because the air hadn't kickedback on.
SPEAKER_01 (10:28):
And it just kicked on.
SPEAKER_02 (10:29):
Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER_01 (10:30):
So anyway, so what about this about social media?
Was that all you were gonna talkto this that right there?
I used to never do Facebook oranything like that.
Y'all have always been onFacebook, I don't care.
I've got Facebook now.
And I might get a notificationor two from something that I'll
might look at every once in awhile, but I do not get on
Facebook and scroll or anything.
(10:50):
I'll get on there and postsomething that we've done,
maybe, and that's once every twoweeks, maybe if I do that.
SPEAKER_02 (10:58):
Maybe.
SPEAKER_01 (10:58):
Yeah.
Instagram, never that's thatused to be the one that I always
looked at.
I always enjoyed Facebook.
Uh Facebook.
Instagram.
I don't even think aboutInstagram anymore.
Do we have an account?
Yes, we got it for bothpodcasts.
We got our personal ones, allthat stuff, but I never even go
to it unless I'm gonna postsome.
And that's very seldom.
(11:20):
YouTube was always the placehere recently that I've would
post a video or anything likethat, because it started started
to gain traction on that, andthen it died.
You know, because I like theshorts.
SPEAKER_02 (11:31):
You gotta stick with it.
SPEAKER_01 (11:33):
I know, but it's still.
But so now it's like You gottastick with it.
SPEAKER_02 (11:38):
I I'm in that lull and you gotta stick with it, and
now I'm seeing a little more anda little more and a little more.
SPEAKER_01 (11:43):
But I would say the best social media for me
personally is TikTok.
SPEAKER_02 (11:48):
That's everybody.
SPEAKER_01 (11:49):
Not to uh have people watch, which it that it's
the best right now, but I'm justsaying in general for because
the algorithm connects with youso good that it's throwing you
videos that you actually want tosee and like, and it just you
know perks your interest and youjust stay on it.
So out of all of them, I I woulddefinitely say TikTok is by far
(12:11):
the the most interesting accountif you're gonna get on it.
SPEAKER_02 (12:15):
Well, Facebook and stuff, that's like your friends
and stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (12:17):
Yes, that's okay.
Yeah, but that's making it but Idon't care about.
I guess you gotta have friendsthough, right?
SPEAKER_02 (12:25):
Yeah, you don't have friends, so that's your problem.
SPEAKER_01 (12:27):
Yeah, I've just got acquaintances from the past,
like what I went to school withand stuff, that you know, they
might send you a friend requestand then bam.
But I don't care if I get anotification that, hey, so and
so has, you know, posted what Idon't well you don't get
notifications.
SPEAKER_02 (12:43):
I didn't turn those on.
SPEAKER_01 (12:44):
I don't have my notifications turned on any
either, and I've told you that.
And saying I get these crazyFacebook notifications.
It's almost like, hey, you'renot looking at us, so we're
gonna send you some stuff andtry and get you drawn back in.
That's what I think it is.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Facebook listens to you.
SPEAKER_01 (13:00):
So we did a thing, you know, we've always talked
about our phones listening to usand all that, and it's always
kind of a running funny thingwith people because you'll be,
hey, I was just talking about,you know, that type of
refrigerator that we're lookingat buying, and now I'm getting
ads for refrigerators, you know,it's something like that.
Well, we know for a fact nowbecause and you don't remember
(13:24):
this until I start talking aboutit.
Probably not.
You don't know where I'm goingwith this.
SPEAKER_02 (13:26):
But probably not.
SPEAKER_01 (13:28):
So we had uh uh your father passed away a couple
months ago.
Um, and then we had a situationto where we'd found out that uh
we were talking about deathcertificates that somebody had
gotten a death certificate, hadgone down to the what is it,
(13:49):
health department and got adeath certificate, his death
certificate.
So we started talking aboutthis.
Hey, can you do that?
That don't sound right, allthis.
So um we were talking it up forjust a few minutes, like I don't
think this is right, and they'relike, We've you've got some
copies, why did they not ask youfor a copy of it and all this?
(14:10):
So I got on my phone and wasgonna Google it and I typed in
the first word for the Googlesearch.
I put can, because I was gonnaput can you, you know, can or uh
can a uh loved one get a a umdeath certificate from the
health department without youknow your knowledge or whatever
(14:31):
like that.
Anyway, it wrote it all out, youknow how it suggests it
automatically put that as thefirst suggestion.
You don't remember that?
No.
And then I knew from that pointon, like now I know that it
guaranteed that everything thatyou were saying around your
phone that it is it is how's itdo that?
It is just pulling ininformation, it's just gathering
(14:54):
all this information.
And a lot of times it's just to,I guess, help you if you want to
be positive about it, because itsince it's thinking ahead of
what you might be looking atlater or looking for whatever,
so now it can it can alreadykind of have it in its archive
waiting on you.
But when that right there poppedup, look, look, I've only typed
in one word and it's popped upthe whole sentence in the search
(15:17):
bar that I'm gonna look for.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:20):
So they're listening, it's what you're
saying.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (15:26):
And we normally have, you know, we al we just
always make fun of it becauseyou get that ad about that.
Well, you get the ad onFacebook, that's where I was
saying you talk about somethingand then you turn around and
talking about, you know, like Ineed a new pair of boots or
whatever, and then next thingyou know, all your ads are uh,
you know, a type of boot, typeof hunting boot, and all that
this, and you're like, this iscrazy.
And you're thinking, is thishappenstance?
(15:46):
Don't know.
Well, we know it's legit now.
SPEAKER_02 (15:51):
Legit.
SPEAKER_01 (15:52):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:54):
But we talked about my things.
Now what are you gonna talkabout?
SPEAKER_01 (15:58):
You said you had enough to fill this whole thing.
SPEAKER_02 (16:00):
You just took both of my things.
SPEAKER_01 (16:02):
What a death certificate?
No.
That wasn't one of your things.
SPEAKER_02 (16:05):
They change them when you come home from church.
SPEAKER_01 (16:07):
But that wasn't nothing.
SPEAKER_02 (16:09):
And the um the media stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (16:13):
Yeah, but you didn't I thought you had a whole lot of
stuff to talk about.
I didn't know it was just gonnabe about me and I do a you said
come up with something.
SPEAKER_02 (16:20):
That's it.
SPEAKER_01 (16:21):
All I do is a TikTok live.
I try and do it every evening atsix o'clock, feeding fish.
And it's crazy how people watchit.
That's all it was.
And it's crazy now.
SPEAKER_02 (16:34):
By the way, because he's buying like 80 pounds of
food a week.
SPEAKER_01 (16:38):
Yeah, that's like a 40-pound bag of catfish pellets
in four days.
SPEAKER_02 (16:43):
They eat better than that.
SPEAKER_01 (16:44):
But they won't laugh, but as the water's going
down, these catfish disappear.
If y'all have y'all need to justgo to TikTok and watch one of
these videos, but theydisappear.
And they'll be gone till thespringtime.
So here soon they're gonna begone, so you can take a break.
SPEAKER_02 (16:58):
So then what are you gonna do?
SPEAKER_01 (16:59):
That's what my question next is What are you
gonna do?
So what will my videos do?
How do I keep people watching ifthey're watching just because of
these fish videos?
SPEAKER_02 (17:08):
You're gonna be an old pawpaw and you're gonna go
sit in the yard and feed youbirds.
SPEAKER_01 (17:13):
I don't think people would sit there and watch you
feed birds, and it's not asentertaining because anybody can
get a group of birds to come inyour yard eventually and you
feed them.
But when it comes to thesecatfish, because people don't
understand, until I raise thecamera up and show them that
it's a lake and not a pond,everybody thinks it's a small
pond that you got these fish in.
(17:33):
So what do I do in a couple ofweeks when I stop doing these
videos?
And we've had all these views.
SPEAKER_02 (17:38):
You go join your wife and you do videos with your
wife.
SPEAKER_01 (17:41):
But you do fingernail stuff, press on
nails, and I I do come in thereand I do show off my fingernails
to your people that's watching.
I don't have press on nails bythe way.
SPEAKER_02 (17:53):
I was gonna say that just sounded like you have press
on nails.
SPEAKER_01 (17:56):
Nope, I show them how bad my fingernails are.
SPEAKER_02 (18:01):
So you're saying we should put some on you?
SPEAKER_01 (18:04):
No, no.
No.
SPEAKER_02 (18:06):
That's what I just heard.
SPEAKER_01 (18:07):
No.
I'm just saying I support you.
I walk in there and I'm funnybecause I put my hand up in
front of you and show whoever'son your live my hands.
SPEAKER_02 (18:17):
So we should start doing lives like this on TikTok
while we record the episode.
SPEAKER_01 (18:23):
We can do that.
SPEAKER_02 (18:24):
Maybe.
But you think all your peoplewill come back?
SPEAKER_01 (18:29):
No.
See, the people I'm getting, Idon't think care about a podcast
with me, you.
I think the ones because we'vegained over was it, three or
four hundred views in like aweek and a week and a half or
something like that.
Followers.
Yeah, followers, sorry.
Um But it's fishermen and it'solder folks that like these
(18:50):
videos, so uh that's what I'msaying.
It's like so once that's stops,and then me and you are doing
our thing at a flea market orsomething like that, I put a
video, they're not gonna want towatch that because they're
they're wanting to watch fishingvideos.
SPEAKER_02 (19:04):
You never know.
You never know.
Can we talk about how it hurtsso bad when you bite your
tongue?
SPEAKER_01 (19:14):
Sure.
SPEAKER_02 (19:15):
So I bit my tongue last night.
SPEAKER_01 (19:17):
Which is worse, your tongue or the inside of your lip
or jaw or anything?
SPEAKER_02 (19:20):
This was my tongue.
Somehow I bit the underneath.
I don't know what it did, but itI like bit the edge the
underneath, and I have a umretainer.
A permanent retainer and it isjust like I was real gentle
singing this morning becausesinging in the shower?
(19:44):
Yeah, in the shower.
In the church choir.
I sang in the church choir.
Um because it's rubbing.
I don't know.
I oh it hurts so bad.
I bit that thing good lastnight.
I wanted to cry.
(20:05):
This makes you want to cry.
SPEAKER_01 (20:07):
So are so on the tongue, which is worse, the side
of your tongue or the tip ofyour tongue to bite?
SPEAKER_02 (20:11):
This is on the bottom.
I'm saying it's worse.
No, I'm saying this is bad.
SPEAKER_01 (20:16):
What's in the tip?
I don't know.
You bite the side of yourtongue.
SPEAKER_02 (20:21):
This is how did it get on how did I buy the bottom
of it?
SPEAKER_01 (20:25):
But the thing is, is when normally when you bite your
lip or you bite your tongue,you're more likely to do it
again pretty soon afterwards.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (20:32):
Yeah, when you bite your like your jaw.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (20:34):
Or something.
Why is that?
Is it because you got that?
It's got a little skin tag orsomething in there or something.
SPEAKER_02 (20:40):
Yeah.
But the bottom of my tongue ishurting.
Or it's not hurting, it's likebothering me because I can feel
it.
And I'm afraid it's rubbing onthat.
SPEAKER_01 (20:52):
So you're talking about biting your tongue.
So last night I didn't sleepgood because I kept getting a
cramp behind my knee all nightlong.
SPEAKER_02 (21:00):
We sound old.
SPEAKER_01 (21:02):
I but I don't know.
I have not got a leg cramp inforever, and I so was gonna get
up.
I don't know how many times.
But then I'd look at the clockand I'm like, this is really
gonna mess up.
You know how it is.
It's like you wake up in themiddle of the night and you have
to use a bathroom and you lookat the clock and you're like, We
don't want to get up.
Well, the thing is, it's like,all right, my alarm's gonna go
off in 30 minutes.
(21:23):
You think I can still just layhere and maybe sleep for 30
minutes even though I have to goignore it.
Yeah, ignore it.
Or do I go ahead and just getup, use a bathroom, go back to
bed, but then you feel likethat's just gonna ruin the rest
of your your 30 minutes ofsleep?
SPEAKER_02 (21:36):
Well, I tell you, I have to get up and go.
I can't hold it.
I'm not young anymore.
I've just come to thatconclusion.
SPEAKER_01 (21:43):
Well, you just need to stop drinking after five
o'clock.
SPEAKER_02 (21:47):
That's a negative.
SPEAKER_01 (21:48):
That's how you solve that right there.
SPEAKER_02 (21:52):
At least I don't go to bed with water.
I used to.
SPEAKER_01 (21:55):
Or ice.
Crushed ice.
That's crazy.
I know.
That's all you used to drink.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (22:03):
I just now making ice and I hadn't made ice in So
yeah, we have an ice maker thatyou make that small what kind of
crushed ice.
SPEAKER_01 (22:11):
Crushed.
I was gonna say it's not pellet.
SPEAKER_02 (22:13):
It's like sonic ice, if you know what's sonic, if you
have sonic.
SPEAKER_01 (22:17):
It's really good.
But I don't eat but I don't doice very seldom.
SPEAKER_02 (22:22):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (22:23):
You know, I don't I've got a ice.
I've got my Pepsi right here,and there's no no ice at all in
it.
SPEAKER_02 (22:30):
I don't know why, like, I'd rather have ice than
the drink.
I'm like, fill my cup full andput and I just need you to
flavor my ice.
SPEAKER_01 (22:40):
But you're the one that if you got a fountain drink
at a gas station.
I'm filling up.
If you got the big one rightthere, you're filling it up to
the top with ice.
SPEAKER_02 (22:48):
Mm-hmm.
And see barely any drink.
SPEAKER_01 (22:50):
And see, and I wouldn't.
SPEAKER_02 (22:52):
I just wanted a little bit just to flavor your
ice.
SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
I'm the opposite because I feel like I'm paying
for the drink.
I don't I'm not paying for ice,I'm paying for drinks.
So I want as much drink aspossible.
A little bit of ice.
SPEAKER_02 (23:03):
Not me.
SPEAKER_01 (23:04):
But if the fountain drinks were cold when they came
out, I wouldn't get any ice atall because it would be a cold
drink.
SPEAKER_02 (23:10):
But of course they don't do that, so and I I've
learned that you don't like ice.
Not that you don't like it, butyou hardly ever need it.
SPEAKER_01 (23:19):
No.
Because I drink water.
So how long have I learned I'vedrunk I've drunk bottled water
what room temperature all thetime.
I don't drink cold water.
I mean, the only time if it'slike extremely hot outside,
working outside, I mean a coldwater is fine, but if I don't
have one, it's fine because roomtemperature water is just as
(23:41):
good.
So how long what?
SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
So how long have we been learning each other?
SPEAKER_01 (23:47):
Oh, I don't know.
I've got you figured out Ifigured you out a long time ago.
SPEAKER_02 (23:52):
You don't get where I'm going with that?
SPEAKER_01 (23:54):
Our anniversary was last year.
SPEAKER_02 (23:56):
Ah, there you go.
SPEAKER_01 (23:57):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (23:58):
We hadn't been on here since then.
SPEAKER_01 (24:01):
So you said 27?
27 years?
SPEAKER_02 (24:04):
27 years.
SPEAKER_01 (24:06):
And I'm probably still thinking it's 28.
SPEAKER_02 (24:08):
It's not 27 years.
We got it.
SPEAKER_01 (24:10):
Well, we got into that whole debate, I think, last
year of what year.
SPEAKER_02 (24:12):
Well, we got married in 98.
SPEAKER_01 (24:14):
Congratulations.
That was 27.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (24:19):
That means I've been out of school 27 years.
SPEAKER_01 (24:24):
I graduated in 94.
So 31 years for me.
31.
SPEAKER_02 (24:33):
How about that?
SPEAKER_01 (24:34):
And I wouldn't go back for nothing.
SPEAKER_02 (24:35):
Oh no, me neither.
SPEAKER_01 (24:36):
I don't care nothing about it.
I don't miss it.
Oh.
SPEAKER_02 (24:42):
Me neither.
Well, all right.
You think that's about all wegot to ramble off about?
SPEAKER_01 (24:47):
Sure, if that's all you got.
I'm looking at theseready-to-eat tamales that's
underneath this thing righthere.
That something's got to be donewith them.
SPEAKER_02 (24:56):
I know.
You need to throw them away.
I don't even know why you comehome with them.
SPEAKER_01 (24:59):
Well, I was talked into it.
I think I've talked about thisbefore, but this guy guaranteed
me these were like the bestready to ready to eat.
If you're going down the roadand can't microwave or anything
like that, they're fine.
SPEAKER_02 (25:10):
And they were on clearance.
And if you ever put Jody Ratliffin front of a dang clearance
that he thinks he can dosomething with, he's loading up
on them.
SPEAKER_01 (25:20):
Normally it's merchandise like when we had the
booth where we had toys andstuff like that.
SPEAKER_02 (25:24):
He don't know how to just one or two.
He thinks he's got to get themall.
SPEAKER_01 (25:27):
No, that's not true because I thought I thought this
was a good deal.
That's the only reason I gotlike four boxes of these things.
SPEAKER_02 (25:34):
I think you had more boxes than that, and I've thrown
some away.
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
No, you did not throw them away, no.
Yes, I did.
I need to get one and show themso everybody knows what I'm
talking about.
That's what I do.
SPEAKER_02 (25:46):
Well, the the people listening don't know what you're
talking about.
SPEAKER_01 (25:50):
But if you watch this on YouTube or whatever like
that, that's what it is.
Let me talk into the money.
SPEAKER_02 (25:58):
I was gonna say they did not hear you.
SPEAKER_01 (25:59):
Well, I usually wear a headset, so I'd know if I
wouldn't.
So you have these little readyto eat that's called walking to
the bottom.
SPEAKER_02 (26:05):
I think you should open it and eat it.
Yeah.
I think you should open it andeat it.
SPEAKER_01 (26:09):
So you got what, mild and hot?
Yeah.
Bean salsa.
SPEAKER_02 (26:16):
Go ahead and try it.
unknown (26:18):
No.
SPEAKER_01 (26:20):
I tried one of them and it's nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (26:22):
It might it might help you with.
SPEAKER_01 (26:24):
Put that right there.
No, we don't want to advertisefor that.
No.
No.
Put that down there.
I don't know.
I might could feed that to thefish.
SPEAKER_02 (26:32):
There you go.
SPEAKER_01 (26:33):
There's something I can feed them today.
So, yeah, if y'all are listeningto this, check us out on uh
TikTok, this, that, anotherpodcast.
And uh we do lives.
I'm trying to get Amanda downthere when I do these lives.
SPEAKER_02 (26:46):
You do your lives when I do mine.
SPEAKER_01 (26:48):
Well, I'm not fishing.
Everybody can't believe that.
SPEAKER_02 (26:50):
Everybody wants you to fish.
SPEAKER_01 (26:51):
They want me to fish.
They want me to hook them withthese catfish.
But yeah, it is when I tellpeople that I feed catfish, they
just think a handful, whatever.
But there is a ton of catfishdown there, and big ones, you
know, eight pounds.
Maybe some ten pound ones inthere, but but yeah.
So, but as the water goes down,they'll uh they're getting to
the point to where they're gonnabe getting deeper and I'll be
(27:13):
done.
SPEAKER_02 (27:14):
Good.
Now you can take that money andbuy me steak.
SPEAKER_01 (27:17):
Steak.
SPEAKER_02 (27:19):
I like a good steak.
Somebody else cook it.
What else?
Like I'm in that phase where Idon't want to cook anything.
SPEAKER_01 (27:26):
Well, we've gotten to the point now with the cost
of everything that you do justas good for the most part.
SPEAKER_02 (27:32):
Now when you're if you don't have a big family to
go out to go out to eat.
SPEAKER_01 (27:38):
And I thought you want to talk about that too.
SPEAKER_02 (27:40):
It's pretty good.
SPEAKER_01 (27:40):
Yeah, empty nesters type thing.
Yeah.
Um so if you can go buy theingredients, you like you can
get four bags of groceries for60 bucks and you're like, what
in the world?
You know, and that's not sayingthat that's what it's costing
you to eat.
I'm just saying it's crazy howwhat few bags you're walking out
of Walmart with and how muchyou're spending on.
I don't walk out of Walmart.
(28:01):
But no, you're right.
You just drive in and you getthe water.
SPEAKER_02 (28:04):
I just drive in and get on Man.
SPEAKER_01 (28:06):
You hit that button to open up the back hatch.
SPEAKER_02 (28:09):
I open up the hatch.
SPEAKER_01 (28:11):
I'm not going to get it.
Are you Amanda?
And you say yes, and then I'mnot going to do that.
All you do is say, hey, justdon't smush my bread for the
love, please.
That's all we're asking.
And let me ask Walmart ifWalmart is listening right now.
You think Walmart is listening?
Sorry, probably not.
So when you get your deliveriesor when they bring this to your
(28:31):
car, and we've talked about thisall the time, why can we only
put one item in every bag?
We will get a, say if we got ahundred items, we're getting 92
bags.
SPEAKER_02 (28:42):
Yeah, that's the stupidest thing.
It's so wasteful.
SPEAKER_01 (28:46):
I can get two cans of green beans, and I'll have
one can and one bag, I'll haveanother can and another bag.
So I got two cans, I got twobags, and that's how they do
across the board witheverything.
There's very few items that youget more than one item in.
And I don't know why.
I have no idea why.
I could understand the waythey're picking it at the store,
(29:07):
and it just so happens this isthe only item on this aisle that
I'm getting, so it's get goingin this bag.
SPEAKER_02 (29:12):
They're throwing it in the big little but when you
get two of the same item, that'swhat you're saying.
Why?
SPEAKER_01 (29:17):
Well, I would think like if I'm getting two, why are
they not in the same bag?
Yeah, why are they not in thesame bag?
SPEAKER_02 (29:22):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I don't know.
If I'm on the same bag, it makesme ill.
SPEAKER_01 (29:27):
I don't I don't get it.
SPEAKER_02 (29:29):
I don't get it either.
So yeah, we I'm in that phase.
I don't want to cook.
Jody will eat anything.
So it really doesn't matter if Icook.
We have a 20-year-old and I'mlike, he can cook whatever he
wants to do.
SPEAKER_01 (29:41):
But if we go back to where, yeah, now it's I mean,
why do you think it's a goodthing?
SPEAKER_02 (29:45):
So on certain days I've got it to where you can get
hot dog chili dogs for$1.49.
SPEAKER_01 (29:52):
Well, I can get Sonic because it's on.
Yeah, they got somethingspecial.
SPEAKER_02 (29:57):
I mean, I can get that cheaper than I can go buy
grocery.
So And who doesn't like a youknow a I don't care for 'em, but
I'll I'll deal with it.
I'll eat something at home.
SPEAKER_01 (30:10):
See, Jim and Nicks used to have like a kid's
chicken finger snack thing.
Yeah, that's a good thing.
But you could only get itthrough the drive-thru.
Yeah.
You couldn't order inside.
But it was just enough that itcould fill you up and it was a
good price.
SPEAKER_02 (30:23):
You could eat$20 there.
Jack's, if you're in the southwhere we are.
Jack's we can eat for I can eatfor nothing there.
Under$20.
SPEAKER_01 (30:34):
Yeah.
But what did you get?
SPEAKER_02 (30:38):
Sonic.
I mean not Sonic.
Subway, if I catch it justright, you can get half price uh
footlongs.
And I always have enough foodleft over for the next day.
But y'all scarf y'all's down.
SPEAKER_01 (30:52):
If I'm ordering a meal, that's my meal.
That's not I'm not ordering ameal for two days.
SPEAKER_02 (30:58):
I eat on a meal for two days.
SPEAKER_01 (30:59):
Well that's fine.
So yeah, we're at that pointnow.
You know you always talk aboutwhich is cheaper.
Well, I really do believe nowwe're at the point that if if
you play your cards right, it'syou're doing just as good to
just go out and get somethingdeep.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (31:13):
What Pizza Hut back in the summertime, they run two
dollar pan pizzas.
So I got eight pan pizzas forsixteen dollars.
SPEAKER_01 (31:22):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (31:22):
And that was enough for two days.
SPEAKER_01 (31:24):
Yeah.
And then now with uh Domino's,the thing that I always get
every time we go to Domino's,because you would get like four
pizzas or five, or whatever itis, garlic sticks, whatever.
I I don't know.
What is the thing that I wouldget?
SPEAKER_02 (31:40):
It was like it was marinara sauce.
It was a round cheese.
SPEAKER_01 (31:43):
Round tray of marinara sauce.
And then you got the breadsticksthat look like a like a bow tie.
Garlic knots.
Garlic knots.
Okay.
And that's what I got.
And loved it.
And now it's gone by.
Now it's gone.
SPEAKER_02 (31:59):
Yeah.
That would be our weekend meal.
Because those pizzas were$6.99or$7.99.
So I could buy enough for thewhole weekend.
SPEAKER_01 (32:09):
And this is back too when Nicholas's friend a lot of
times was spending the nightwith us too, so we'd have to get
a little extra, you know,food-wise.
But yeah, but you can't do thislike at say Zagsby's, like we
ate there yesterday.
SPEAKER_02 (32:22):
I mean, that's just too Oh, except they did give me
a receipt to buy one, get onefree.
I need to fill that out.
And we'll do that one day nextweek.
SPEAKER_01 (32:31):
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if anybody knowsthis, but there's surveys that
these are.
Yeah, I gotta do that survey.
When did we do that?
When did we do Zagsby's?
Yesterday.
Even like McDonald's and thingslike that.
They have these surveys that youcan fill out and then you'll get
a free whatever double chicken.
SPEAKER_02 (32:48):
Or I use the app and get rewards on the app.
Chick-fil-A, I've got a lot ofsee.
SPEAKER_01 (32:55):
So I won't do the app at all, so I know y'all can
build up your points.
Yeah, I built up points.
SPEAKER_02 (33:01):
I've started doing the gas.
SPEAKER_01 (33:04):
But I think if you if you play your cards right and
you actually your you do yourdue diligence and kind of look
at these like on Tuesdays, thisplace has a good deal, on
Thursdays they has this.
Just like on Wednesday night atchurch, you know, we have you
know meals, they make, you know,they cook meals.
And so depending on what it is,and most of the time we get
(33:26):
them.
Yeah.
You know, because they're good.
Um we get that, so that's onenine.
So I mean, five dollars, whereare you gonna go for five
dollars?
Nowhere.
To you know, and this will fillyou up, except you're not
getting a drink, and that'sfine.
SPEAKER_02 (33:40):
Um I'm fine with that.
I'd just rather have wateranyway.
SPEAKER_01 (33:43):
So that's the other thing too, is like if we do
cook, we don't cook to haveleftovers on Tuesday because
you're not gonna eat theleftovers on Wednesday.
You're gonna eat church meals.
So you have to do that.
SPEAKER_02 (33:55):
I do like it getting cooler though, and I will start
using the crock pot more.
SPEAKER_01 (33:59):
Yeah, so we'll have chili and stuff like that.
Chili and soup.
And so that'll last us a couplethree days.
About three days is about as faras I'll go on any of that stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (34:09):
I might have some chili.
SPEAKER_01 (34:10):
What's your limit on leftovers?
How many days?
SPEAKER_02 (34:13):
It depends on what it is.
SPEAKER_01 (34:15):
Uh so you got homemade vegetable soup.
SPEAKER_02 (34:18):
I'll eat on it all week.
SPEAKER_01 (34:19):
So we ate it today.
SPEAKER_02 (34:21):
I'll get tired of it before we'll finish it
basically.
SPEAKER_01 (34:24):
So if we're eating it like right now, we put the
leftovers in the fridge.
You're eating it tomorrow, whichis Monday.
Tuesday?
SPEAKER_02 (34:31):
Probably Tuesday for lunch.
No, I might skip it lunch andeat it Tuesday supper.
SPEAKER_01 (34:36):
Wednesday?
SPEAKER_02 (34:39):
That's an iffy.
Because I'm tired of it by theend.
SPEAKER_01 (34:42):
Wednesday, I'm not even it's not even a question.
SPEAKER_02 (34:45):
I might eat it for lunch.
SPEAKER_01 (34:46):
No, I'm throwing it out.
Because in my mind, that's likeit's too long.
SPEAKER_02 (34:50):
But it's not.
SPEAKER_01 (34:51):
Well, it is.
SPEAKER_02 (34:52):
It's not.
SPEAKER_01 (34:52):
If we cooked it and you've ate it on a Saturday, or
excuse me, Sunday, I'm eatingleftovers on Monday.
Tuesday is my last day of eatingleftovers on it.
SPEAKER_02 (35:02):
Then you're on your own because I ain't cooking.
So I'm just, well, I mean,that's fine, but that's And see,
he tells me that's fine, so Idon't cook.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (35:09):
I mean, I'm just saying, I'm not, I am not, I
don't care what you say.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I don't care.
In my mind that you can't, Ican't eat it.
In your mind, you can't eat it.
SPEAKER_02 (35:16):
I can.
SPEAKER_01 (35:17):
Nope, absolutely not.
There is a fine line.
I don't care refrigerated ornot, that don't make it healthy
or safe or there's nothing wrongwith it though.
There's so many days that youcan go before that's like milk.
All right.
If you have milk, we've got agallon of milk, it's sitting in
the fridge, it hadn't been theseal has not been cracked on it,
(35:39):
and it went out of dateyesterday.
I'm not drinking it today.
I'm not cracking it open anddoing the smell check and
saying, well, it smells fine,it's still good because it
hadn't been.
No.
SPEAKER_02 (35:49):
Well.
SPEAKER_01 (35:51):
Now you cook with it.
But uh, you are not, and Ican't, I'm not smelling milk.
SPEAKER_02 (35:58):
We don't even drink milk anyway.
SPEAKER_01 (36:00):
You know, I used to do cereal and stuff like that,
but I really no.
But if you'd say, hey, smellthis milk, see if it smells
alright.
I'm like, absolutely not.
SPEAKER_02 (36:07):
You can't even smell.
SPEAKER_01 (36:08):
I'm not smelling milk.
You can't even smell, so itdon't.
Smelling milk is a turn off forme.
I don't care if it, you know.
I feel like you're setting meup.
Like, smell this and see if itsmells alright.
Well, apparently you think it'snot alright, because you're
asking me to smell it, and soyou're setting me up to I don't
want to smell a bad smell if itis not alright.
(36:32):
So I'm not doing it.
So yeah, milk, whether it'scracked, the seal's cracked or
not, even if it goes out todayand we still got half a gallon.
SPEAKER_02 (36:40):
Oh, let's talk about the egg thing.
We're talking about things thatare old. 'Cause we could put
that video out there.
SPEAKER_01 (36:46):
I don't know what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_02 (36:48):
The egg that I cracked open.
SPEAKER_01 (36:52):

put my milk in there and thatkind of stuff, so I'm not
messing up another dish.
And I'm cry I've cracked two orthree eggs.
And when we eat eggs, we eat alot of eggs.
If I'm cooking it for likebreakfast or supper, I I don't
(37:39):
cook it for breakfast because Idon't do breakfast.
But I cracked the um one egg andit was blood runny.
SPEAKER_01 (37:49):
It was nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (37:50):
It was bad.
SPEAKER_01 (37:51):
I would have to go back to that video to see
exactly what we gotta find thatvideo.
Yeah, because I can't picture itexactly, but I do know it was
nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (37:59):
Yeah.
So I was turned off from eggsfor a while for that.
I might be turned off now.
Dang it.
Why'd you bring that up?
Thanks.
SPEAKER_01 (38:09):
I didn't remember it all until you brought it up.
I don't remember that.
SPEAKER_02 (38:12):
Yeah, so that was crazy.
SPEAKER_01 (38:14):
You know, it's funny how you just when you get a
certain a smell or a certaintaste, something happened.
Say you got sick off something.
Say you ate some kind of Mexicanor whatever it is, and then you
were like really bad sick thatnight, and you're like, even the
thought of that food is aturnoff forever.
(38:35):
You know?
SPEAKER_02 (38:36):
Is it really forever?
Well, just like if you find itfor a long time.
SPEAKER_01 (38:40):
Well, just like a hare.
Just like I f a long time ago Ifound a hare in a um is it
McDonald's and their what'stheir big it's got three or four
pieces of bread in it?
No, pieces of bread in it.
Big Mac.
Big Mac.
Yeah.
And this was back when they usedthe s the cardboard to wrap
(39:00):
around the s you know the sideof it to keep it standing up
tall.
And so when you took thatcardboard off, there was a hair
wrapped in there with thatcardboard.
Nice.
Yeah.
And so I didn't need a Big Macfor When's the last time we had
a Big Mac?
I might not have had a Big Macsince that.
SPEAKER_02 (39:19):
I don't think so.
SPEAKER_01 (39:20):
I was like 19 years old when that happened.
So it's been a minute.
So Oh yeah.
Well Nicholas, matter of fact,it was when you were on your
trip.
Nicholas got us burgers fromWhataburger.
SPEAKER_02 (39:39):
Oh, now you're telling on y'all.
You said Taco Bell, so now y'allwent to Taco Bell and
Whataburger.
SPEAKER_01 (39:46):
So he brought the burgers here, and so I'm I'm
eating.
And the next thing I know, he'scoming, coming over to me, and
he's got something in his hand.
I look up and he's like this,and he's got this big old long
hair that he found in hisburger.
And I'd ate like half my burger,and then that was enough to make
me shut it all down.
(40:06):
I couldn't even eat the friesafter that.
SPEAKER_02 (40:08):
You wasted it.
SPEAKER_01 (40:09):
I wasted it.
I threw it away.
Because it just hit me that way.
I was like, oh my you know, justthe thought.
And why is it?
Why is a hair?
How many women do you know thatgo up to another lady, you know,
oh your hair's so beautiful?
Or they might even touch yourhair or something, what have you
done?
You know, anything like that.
SPEAKER_02 (40:27):
Don't touch my hair.
SPEAKER_01 (40:28):
But you know what I'm saying?
But you let one of them danghairs fall off your head and
that's the nastiest thing ever.
You know what I'm saying?
If you find a hair, if there's ahair sitting on this the counter
right here on this this tableright here, like, ugh, you know,
whether it's mine or whoever's,it's like, why does it it's uh
it's fine when it's up hereattached, especially on a woman,
but if you find one anywhereelse, why is that?
SPEAKER_02 (40:51):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (40:51):
Why is a hair so nasty?
unknown (40:53):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (40:53):
Is it really that nasty?
It might be just you.
I think if I found a fingernailin my fries or on a countertop
or on a countertop or somethinglike that, that's nasty.
unknown (41:08):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (41:08):
I mean if you want to compare the two, I know for
some if if I know for somereason we think hair is the
worst thing ever when you findon something, but if you want to
do a comparison well if it's ahair or a fingernail, fingernail
by far is the absolute worst,horribly thing I think I could
imagine finding on something.
Really?
Yes.
(41:30):
How'd that fingernail get there?
SPEAKER_02 (41:32):
They bit it.
SPEAKER_01 (41:33):
That's it.
If they if they bit it spin itoff and spin it off.
So yeah, so now only do you havea fingernail that's got junk
underneath the nail, whateverthey've been digging in.
Now it's been in their mouth, soyou got all that.
SPEAKER_02 (41:45):
Yeah.
Why are we on this subject?
SPEAKER_01 (41:47):
You started it.
You started it.
SPEAKER_02 (41:49):
I'm done with it.
Bye.
SPEAKER_01 (41:51):
This reminds me, let's go back in time.
SPEAKER_02 (41:54):
Oh Lord.
I thought we were done.
We were done, Timmy.
SPEAKER_01 (41:57):
I'm trying to think of some weird things.
You know, I remember working ata grocery store when I was in
high school.
I was I guess I well, I'd havebeen 16, 15 or 16 years old.
And we'd got a loaf of bread infrom the you know, bread guy.
And there's a shirt sleevecaught up in the where they had
(42:18):
like tied it up.
It was very strange.
I don't even know how thishappened and why he even brought
it in, but it's just theweirdest thing.
And I but besides that, we hadsomebody brought in a jar of
pickles that they had bought.
Hadn't been opened.
The seal hadn't, you know howyou can tell when the tops pop?
So you're talking about theglass jar of pickles, and there
was a big old safety pin on theinside of it.
(42:41):
And how does that happen?
That was definitely intentionintentional at the at the
factory?
Yeah.
But the worst thing, the worstthing of all is, and I've I
don't know if we've talked aboutthis before and I don't think
so.
Um so in our meat department,you know, when you do when you
(43:02):
grind, you know, ground beef,anything like that, your grinds
you throw you you've gothamburger meat you throw in.
It's in the the top of thisthing, it goes down this little
chute and it's grinding it upand it spits it out.
You tray it up, so you gothamburger meat on your tray,
right?
Okay.
So it starts, so it's thrownthrown in the top of this little
machine.
(43:23):
All right.
So what they do too is you throwyour uh your your scraps, your
cutting, anything that you'vecut off of meat, some you know,
fat, anything like that,anything that you can use that
you're not throwing away, youcan use that in your in the
ground beef.
So you throw it in there and itmixes it up and all this kind of
stuff.
So the guy's trayed up all thisground beef that evening, right?
(43:44):
And he's he's trayed it up, he'sweighed it, he's wrapped it,
he's put it out there on thecounter, it's been selling, all
this kind of stuff.
Well, then he notices he's got acut on his finger.
He had a cut on his finger andhe had something on that cut
called a band-aid.
The band-aid is gone.
The band-aid is missing.
So at some point during theprocess of him doing these
(44:06):
grinds and all all this, thatband-aid got thrown in there,
mixed up with all that groundbeef, and it got trayed up
somewhere.
So so there's exactly very nice.
Well, I'm done.
SPEAKER_02 (44:25):
I'm done after that.
SPEAKER_01 (44:26):
But it'd cook out, will it not?
Sure.
That hair won't cook out.
That hair's in there.
SPEAKER_02 (44:31):
That bandaid ain't gonna cook out, doofus.
SPEAKER_01 (44:34):
The stuff on that band-aid will.
SPEAKER_02 (44:35):
And the stuff on that hair will.
SPEAKER_01 (44:37):
That grease, it'll burn it all out.
Yeah.
That hair though.
SPEAKER_02 (44:40):
Burn it up.
SPEAKER_01 (44:41):
No, that hair's still there though.
That hair ain't disappearing.
SPEAKER_02 (44:44):
That band-aid ain't either.
SPEAKER_01 (44:46):
I think that's the problem with hair, is because it
will not disappear.
SPEAKER_02 (44:50):
You think?
SPEAKER_01 (44:50):
I think so.
But the worst thing is like ifyou bite into something and then
you got the hair in your mouth.
SPEAKER_02 (44:54):
No, no, I don't like that.
I can't do that.
SPEAKER_01 (44:56):
Well, who likes that?
Nobody likes that.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (44:59):
Okay, I'm ready.
Because I have to be back atchurch at 4 30.
Well so.
SPEAKER_01 (45:04):
I mean, you've got three hours.
SPEAKER_02 (45:06):
I got clothes to wash.
I'd like to go eat a little bitmore.
SPEAKER_01 (45:11):
And then you gotta take a nap.
SPEAKER_02 (45:12):
Don't then I won't take a nap.
I doubt it, but okay.
SPEAKER_01 (45:16):
All right, well, thanks for listening to episode
51.
We didn't celebrate our lastepisode, the milestone of
episode 50.
50 years.
So we've been doing this for ayear and a half now.
Should have been around April oflast year when we started doing
this.
So we've been doing this awhile.
We try to be regular.
Kind of like, you know, if yougo to the bathroom, you try and
(45:37):
be regular.
SPEAKER_02 (45:38):
Really?
SPEAKER_01 (45:40):
Once a week is all we plan on doing a bunch of.
SPEAKER_02 (45:44):
That's my regular, if you want to be honest.
SPEAKER_01 (45:46):
So we're not, yeah, I'm not talking about once-a-day
podcast regular.
I'm talking about once a weekpodcast regular.
SPEAKER_02 (45:52):
Once every two.
SPEAKER_01 (45:53):
But we have a hard time doing that.
So we are gonna try better, andwe've promised, and we have
promised.
But uh, we've had, you know, Iwas telling you last night,
we've had one at episode sevenof our podcast is taking off for
some reason.
It's getting some kind ofattraction.
We've got a the room that we'rein right now, our podcast room,
we've got Winched and the Yorkiesitting beside me.
(46:15):
Squirrel.
And then well, I know I wasgonna mention that we've got a
little chihuahua.
You're squirreling.
We've got a little chihuahuanamed Coco that she keeps
sticking her nose under the doorthat we're looking at right here
past the camera, and you hearshe's that's what you hear.
SPEAKER_02 (46:32):

I'm glad I'm not using your micbecause your nose just got all
up in it.
SPEAKER_01 (46:38):
Nobody uses my mic.
SPEAKER_02 (46:39):
Disgusting.
SPEAKER_01 (46:40):
Absolutely nobody except me.
SPEAKER_02 (46:42):

next thing you know, you see alittle nose or a paw, and then
you hear her sniffing like, arey'all gonna come out or are
y'all gonna let me in?
SPEAKER_02 (46:55):

And why do you why are you madat me?
SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
And why do you say I'm mad?
SPEAKER_01 (01:09):
Because I don't change my clothes.
SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
How many women come home and take their clothes off
and change into something morecomfortable?
Most women, I would say, fromchurch, you're gonna come home
and you're gonna change yourclothes.
I even change mine sometimeswhen I come home from work.
SPEAKER_01 (01:30):
Well, I normally change well during the week I
really don't have to.
But after church, a lot of timesI change, but it just depends on
if I'm in a hurry, like I'm in ahurry to get this recorded.
So I'm not taking the time to gochange.
SPEAKER_02 (01:43):
But you should because I'm taking the time to
go change, so you got time tochange.
SPEAKER_01 (01:47):
You also know that I said, hey, when we get home,
we're recording.
So I'm I'm trying to let youknow hey, don't change the
channel.
SPEAKER_02 (01:54):

I threw a load of clothes in thewasher, I changed clothes, and I
ate a bite.
SPEAKER_01 (01:59):

SPEAKER_01 (02:03):
Well, I was doing some other stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (02:04):

SPEAKER_01 (02:06):
But anyway, that doesn't matter.
So I'm in my Sunday's best andyou're in your comfies.
Comfies.
So we're gonna talk about notreally social media, but going
from Is this what we're talkingabout?
Am I going on the right path?
Where basically w you don't doany social media, you watch
(02:27):
stuff, you know, you don'treally participate anything, but
then all of a sudden, next thingyou know, you're doing videos,
you're doing TikToks, you're uhon Instagram, you've got all
these accounts, right?
Set up for Who are you talkingabout?
I'm talking about for just ingeneral.
SPEAKER_02 (02:43):
In general.
Like, okay.
SPEAKER_01 (02:44):
So you go from just watching people to where, hey,
now we're part of it.
Basically, like some saying,like when we started this
podcast.
You know, so I I started twopodcasts at the same time.
Like a goofball.
Yeah.
So it was like very, very timeconsuming.
(03:05):
So we went jump in anytime,because this is what you kind of
wanted to talk about.
So the long level.
SPEAKER_02 (03:10):
I was talking about you, not everybody.
SPEAKER_01 (03:12):
Just me?
Alright, we'll talk about methen.
SPEAKER_02 (03:16):
How you never used to do social media and now
that's all you do.
I can't even get him to come inthe house in the afternoons to
watch anything because he'sgotta go do a live.
SPEAKER_01 (03:29):
Alright, so when you say social media, it's not like
I'm on Facebook just scrollingand scrolling and watching,
because I don't do that.
SPEAKER_02 (03:37):
No, you all you you've got that stupid thing in
your ear and you listen topodcasts all the time.
SPEAKER_01 (03:42):
Yeah, I listen to podcasts.
So I'm not doing social mediaall the time.
SPEAKER_02 (03:44):
And you don't pay me attention.
SPEAKER_01 (03:46):
But you're making it sound like I'm just involved in
social media all the time.
But I'm not.
SPEAKER_02 (03:51):
But you got it and you do it more now.
SPEAKER_01 (03:53):
I do.
But that goes back to thepodcasts, having two podcasts,
and then doing the editing, andthen trying to do a video and
trying to do little snippetshere and there and put it out
there and trying to fit it onFacebook or Instagram or TikTok
or what what am I missing?
What else is there?
YouTube.
So and then setting up all theseaccounts, and it just took time
(04:16):
and time.
Why are you checking it rightnow?
Because we're talking.
SPEAKER_02 (04:19):
Because because I never have a memory and I never
remember to check it, and I puta video on it not long ago.
SPEAKER_01 (04:25):
So YouTube.
SPEAKER_02 (04:26):
So I just wanted to see where it was at.
So oh, I gained two followers.
SPEAKER_01 (04:32):
But what has happened now is our so the other
podcast that we've been doinghas kind of gone away.
So now we've just got this one,this, that, another.
And so I have converted, youknow, I I feed catfish on the
lake every evening.
We've done this all the time.
This isn't nothing new, youknow.
(04:54):
So I was trying to decide, hey,I want to start videoing and let
people see what I do.
So I just decided to use thethis, that, and other TikTok
account.
And so I started doing a live,in which you're telling me that
you don't understand how I'mable to do a live because at the
time You're supposed to have atleast 500 followers.
SPEAKER_02 (05:14):
Right, and I think And a thousand to put a link in
the thing, but I mean you're notputting a link, so that doesn't
matter.
It used to be a thousandfollowers when I first started
two, three years ago.
You had to have a thousandfollowers before you could go
live.
SPEAKER_01 (05:30):
So I think we had maybe a hundred and fifty.
Something like that.
SPEAKER_02 (05:34):
When you started.
SPEAKER_01 (05:35):
When I started.
So two weeks ago I decided Ididn't know what account to do
this under.
I decided to do it under thispodcast account.
I went, I did a live.
I'm out there at the water.
I'm just talking it up, talkingabout how I feed these fish, and
I've got these catfish pellets.
I'm throwing them out there, andI've got a bunch of, you know,
over a hundred catfish that comeup.
And this is on a lake.
(05:55):
This isn't a pond.
This isn't a private lake.
This is a full-fledged, youknow, lake.
And uh it just grant gained likethe first one we did, had like
over 8,000 viewers.
Now I understand too that that'speople that's popping in there
for five or ten seconds, youknow, and then leaving, and then
you got some that'll stay thewhole hour and all that stuff.
(06:17):
But then it got to where, youknow, a few evenings ago we had
almost 26,000 was on there.
So it's almost like now I I cansee how people get so involved
in this because it's almost nowlike, oh, that's a lot of
people.
And now I feel like like lastnight I only had like 3,500.
And then the night before thatit was like 5,500, something
(06:39):
like that, which is fine, butI'm like, can I beat that
26,000?
SPEAKER_02 (06:45):
You'll never beat that.
SPEAKER_01 (06:46):
I think that'll be not a fluke.
Right.
There was a fluke, I had 16,000too, also, thank you very much.
But what I'm getting at is so Inever not and and the thing
about that too is I'm not infront of the camera, and that's
fine, because I I don't wantthat.
But it's cool to be behind thecamera and showing people just
(07:07):
something I do as a hobby andpeople enjoying it because
they're asking questions and allthat.
But the funny thing is, is I'veit's on this account, our
podcast account.
And what I should have reallydone was set up like a nature
type fishing.
SPEAKER_02 (07:21):
Not really.
SPEAKER_01 (07:22):
You don't think so?
SPEAKER_02 (07:23):
No.
Why don't you just I was gonnasay twinkle?
That's not the right word.
Sprinkle, you need to you needto nourish your account, you
need to be putting videos outthere.
You need to take some of yourYouTube videos, slice them up,
and put them on there.
SPEAKER_01 (07:40):
I know, but it if you look at the account, if
anybody that listens to thispodcast and they go to our
TikTok and then they're gonna belike, And they put and we put
But I'm just saying the firstthing they go to it now is
they're seeing, hey, there's aguy that's throwing food out to
these fish, and that's crazy.
Well, no, you just put this myhobby.
But before that is videos of usdoing this.
(08:01):
So I mean it's just it it kindof doesn't fit.
It's almost like I just slungvideos in there that shouldn't
have been in there, so to speak.
But that's okay.
It didn't fit the criteria.
SPEAKER_02 (08:10):
But that's okay because people are learning
about you and what you like todo.
People want to see.
SPEAKER_01 (08:17):
I guess so.
It's it is crazy how people wantto see this, how they'll watch.
And I'll have people that watchfor the full hour.
Hour and ten minutes.
I now I'm doing it for like anhour and a half, but there'll be
people that'll watch me feedthese fish for over an hour.
I'm thinking, that is I don't doany of that.
I do not watch live.
TikTok, I never think aboutwatching a lie.
(08:38):
I never go on it with an optionat the top, is it not?
You go to the lives and you canscroll through and see what
there are.
I never do that.
Now if I go through and I seesomebody is live and it might be
something interesting, I mightgo on it, but that is very
seldom.
But so on the the studio part ofthese lives is telling me that m
(09:01):
my viewers normally watch videosat eleven o'clock at night.
That's when the biggest uh Iguess I'm out.
Does that sound right to you?
Eleven o'clock at night.
SPEAKER_02 (09:13):
Is that eleven o'clock your time?
Eleven o'clock their time?
SPEAKER_01 (09:15):
I mean o'clock our time.
Because these shows at fouro'clock it's low, it increases a
little bit at five.
I'm doing the videos between sixand after seven.
It's gone up eight o'clock alittle bit, and then nine it
starts increasing, ten andeleven it peaks, and then
midnight it's about the same,and then it goes down at one
a.m.
(09:36):
and and all that again.
SPEAKER_02 (09:37):
So I guess people's settling down.
SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
But that seems very late to settle down.
SPEAKER_02 (09:43):
Yeah, that's because you go to bed at eight o'clock.
SPEAKER_01 (09:45):
But that doesn't matter.
I'm just still thinking thatpeople settle down at eight or
nine o'clock, do they not?
And when I say settle down,they're sitting in a recliner,
they're sitting in front of theTV, they're on the couch,
whatever with whoever, andthey've got their phone out and
they're they're watching stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (09:58):
Maybe.
SPEAKER_01 (10:01):
And Winston is sitting beside me and he's gonna
be.
SPEAKER_02 (10:03):
Winston's getting on my nerves.
I need him to go out.
SPEAKER_01 (10:05):
He will not stop biting my hand.
SPEAKER_02 (10:08):
I want him to stop.
SPEAKER_01 (10:09):
And I'm just trying to pet him to try and settle him
down, and now when I stop, I'mI'm about to put him out.
So I'm gonna leave him alone.
SPEAKER_02 (10:18):
I thought the air was gonna come on, so I have my
blanket right here.
But it's a little warm, so I'mgonna put the blanket over there
because the air hadn't kickedback on.
SPEAKER_01 (10:28):
And it just kicked on.
SPEAKER_02 (10:29):
Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER_01 (10:30):
So anyway, so what about this about social media?
Was that all you were gonna talkto this that right there?
I used to never do Facebook oranything like that.
Y'all have always been onFacebook, I don't care.
I've got Facebook now.
And I might get a notificationor two from something that I'll
might look at every once in awhile, but I do not get on
Facebook and scroll or anything.
(10:50):
I'll get on there and postsomething that we've done,
maybe, and that's once every twoweeks, maybe if I do that.
SPEAKER_02 (10:58):
Maybe.
SPEAKER_01 (10:58):
Yeah.
Instagram, never that's thatused to be the one that I always
looked at.
I always enjoyed Facebook.
Uh Facebook.
Instagram.
I don't even think aboutInstagram anymore.
Do we have an account?
Yes, we got it for bothpodcasts.
We got our personal ones, allthat stuff, but I never even go
to it unless I'm gonna postsome.
And that's very seldom.
(11:20):
YouTube was always the placehere recently that I've would
post a video or anything likethat, because it started started
to gain traction on that, andthen it died.
You know, because I like theshorts.
SPEAKER_02 (11:31):
You gotta stick with it.
SPEAKER_01 (11:33):
I know, but it's still.
But so now it's like You gottastick with it.
SPEAKER_02 (11:38):
I I'm in that lull and you gotta stick with it, and
now I'm seeing a little more anda little more and a little more.
SPEAKER_01 (11:43):
But I would say the best social media for me
personally is TikTok.
SPEAKER_02 (11:48):
That's everybody.
SPEAKER_01 (11:49):
Not to uh have people watch, which it that it's
the best right now, but I'm justsaying in general for because
the algorithm connects with youso good that it's throwing you
videos that you actually want tosee and like, and it just you
know perks your interest and youjust stay on it.
So out of all of them, I I woulddefinitely say TikTok is by far
(12:11):
the the most interesting accountif you're gonna get on it.
SPEAKER_02 (12:15):
Well, Facebook and stuff, that's like your friends
and stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (12:17):
Yes, that's okay.
Yeah, but that's making it but Idon't care about.
I guess you gotta have friendsthough, right?
SPEAKER_02 (12:25):
Yeah, you don't have friends, so that's your problem.
SPEAKER_01 (12:27):
Yeah, I've just got acquaintances from the past,
like what I went to school withand stuff, that you know, they
might send you a friend requestand then bam.
But I don't care if I get anotification that, hey, so and
so has, you know, posted what Idon't well you don't get
notifications.
SPEAKER_02 (12:43):
I didn't turn those on.
SPEAKER_01 (12:44):
I don't have my notifications turned on any
either, and I've told you that.
And saying I get these crazyFacebook notifications.
It's almost like, hey, you'renot looking at us, so we're
gonna send you some stuff andtry and get you drawn back in.
That's what I think it is.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Facebook listens to you.
SPEAKER_01 (13:00):
So we did a thing, you know, we've always talked
about our phones listening to usand all that, and it's always
kind of a running funny thingwith people because you'll be,
hey, I was just talking about,you know, that type of
refrigerator that we're lookingat buying, and now I'm getting
ads for refrigerators, you know,it's something like that.
Well, we know for a fact nowbecause and you don't remember
(13:24):
this until I start talking aboutit.
Probably not.
You don't know where I'm goingwith this.
SPEAKER_02 (13:26):
But probably not.
SPEAKER_01 (13:28):
So we had uh uh your father passed away a couple
months ago.
Um, and then we had a situationto where we'd found out that uh
we were talking about deathcertificates that somebody had
gotten a death certificate, hadgone down to the what is it,
(13:49):
health department and got adeath certificate, his death
certificate.
So we started talking aboutthis.
Hey, can you do that?
That don't sound right, allthis.
So um we were talking it up forjust a few minutes, like I don't
think this is right, and they'relike, We've you've got some
copies, why did they not ask youfor a copy of it and all this?
(14:10):
So I got on my phone and wasgonna Google it and I typed in
the first word for the Googlesearch.
I put can, because I was gonnaput can you, you know, can or uh
can a uh loved one get a a umdeath certificate from the
health department without youknow your knowledge or whatever
(14:31):
like that.
Anyway, it wrote it all out, youknow how it suggests it
automatically put that as thefirst suggestion.
You don't remember that?
No.
And then I knew from that pointon, like now I know that it
guaranteed that everything thatyou were saying around your
phone that it is it is how's itdo that?
It is just pulling ininformation, it's just gathering
(14:54):
all this information.
And a lot of times it's just to,I guess, help you if you want to
be positive about it, because itsince it's thinking ahead of
what you might be looking atlater or looking for whatever,
so now it can it can alreadykind of have it in its archive
waiting on you.
But when that right there poppedup, look, look, I've only typed
in one word and it's popped upthe whole sentence in the search
(15:17):
bar that I'm gonna look for.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:20):
So they're listening, it's what you're
saying.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (15:26):
And we normally have, you know, we al we just
always make fun of it becauseyou get that ad about that.
Well, you get the ad onFacebook, that's where I was
saying you talk about somethingand then you turn around and
talking about, you know, like Ineed a new pair of boots or
whatever, and then next thingyou know, all your ads are uh,
you know, a type of boot, typeof hunting boot, and all that
this, and you're like, this iscrazy.
And you're thinking, is thishappenstance?
(15:46):
Don't know.
Well, we know it's legit now.
SPEAKER_02 (15:51):
Legit.
SPEAKER_01 (15:52):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:54):
But we talked about my things.
Now what are you gonna talkabout?
SPEAKER_01 (15:58):
You said you had enough to fill this whole thing.
SPEAKER_02 (16:00):
You just took both of my things.
SPEAKER_01 (16:02):
What a death certificate?
No.
That wasn't one of your things.
SPEAKER_02 (16:05):
They change them when you come home from church.
SPEAKER_01 (16:07):
But that wasn't nothing.
SPEAKER_02 (16:09):
And the um the media stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (16:13):
Yeah, but you didn't I thought you had a whole lot of
stuff to talk about.
I didn't know it was just gonnabe about me and I do a you said
come up with something.
SPEAKER_02 (16:20):
That's it.
SPEAKER_01 (16:21):
All I do is a TikTok live.
I try and do it every evening atsix o'clock, feeding fish.
And it's crazy how people watchit.
That's all it was.
And it's crazy now.
SPEAKER_02 (16:34):
By the way, because he's buying like 80 pounds of
food a week.
SPEAKER_01 (16:38):
Yeah, that's like a 40-pound bag of catfish pellets
in four days.
SPEAKER_02 (16:43):
They eat better than that.
SPEAKER_01 (16:44):
But they won't laugh, but as the water's going
down, these catfish disappear.
If y'all have y'all need to justgo to TikTok and watch one of
these videos, but theydisappear.
And they'll be gone till thespringtime.
So here soon they're gonna begone, so you can take a break.
SPEAKER_02 (16:58):
So then what are you gonna do?
SPEAKER_01 (16:59):
That's what my question next is What are you
gonna do?
So what will my videos do?
How do I keep people watching ifthey're watching just because of
these fish videos?
SPEAKER_02 (17:08):
You're gonna be an old pawpaw and you're gonna go
sit in the yard and feed youbirds.
SPEAKER_01 (17:13):
I don't think people would sit there and watch you
feed birds, and it's not asentertaining because anybody can
get a group of birds to come inyour yard eventually and you
feed them.
But when it comes to thesecatfish, because people don't
understand, until I raise thecamera up and show them that
it's a lake and not a pond,everybody thinks it's a small
pond that you got these fish in.
(17:33):
So what do I do in a couple ofweeks when I stop doing these
videos?
And we've had all these views.
SPEAKER_02 (17:38):
You go join your wife and you do videos with your
wife.
SPEAKER_01 (17:41):
But you do fingernail stuff, press on
nails, and I I do come in thereand I do show off my fingernails
to your people that's watching.
I don't have press on nails bythe way.
SPEAKER_02 (17:53):
I was gonna say that just sounded like you have press
on nails.
SPEAKER_01 (17:56):
Nope, I show them how bad my fingernails are.
SPEAKER_02 (18:01):
So you're saying we should put some on you?
SPEAKER_01 (18:04):
No, no.
No.
SPEAKER_02 (18:06):
That's what I just heard.
SPEAKER_01 (18:07):
No.
I'm just saying I support you.
I walk in there and I'm funnybecause I put my hand up in
front of you and show whoever'son your live my hands.
SPEAKER_02 (18:17):
So we should start doing lives like this on TikTok
while we record the episode.
SPEAKER_01 (18:23):
We can do that.
SPEAKER_02 (18:24):
Maybe.
But you think all your peoplewill come back?
SPEAKER_01 (18:29):
No.
See, the people I'm getting, Idon't think care about a podcast
with me, you.
I think the ones because we'vegained over was it, three or
four hundred views in like aweek and a week and a half or
something like that.
Followers.
Yeah, followers, sorry.
Um But it's fishermen and it'solder folks that like these
(18:50):
videos, so uh that's what I'msaying.
It's like so once that's stops,and then me and you are doing
our thing at a flea market orsomething like that, I put a
video, they're not gonna want towatch that because they're
they're wanting to watch fishingvideos.
SPEAKER_02 (19:04):
You never know.
You never know.
Can we talk about how it hurtsso bad when you bite your
tongue?
SPEAKER_01 (19:14):
Sure.
SPEAKER_02 (19:15):
So I bit my tongue last night.
SPEAKER_01 (19:17):
Which is worse, your tongue or the inside of your lip
or jaw or anything?
SPEAKER_02 (19:20):
This was my tongue.
Somehow I bit the underneath.
I don't know what it did, but itI like bit the edge the
underneath, and I have a umretainer.
A permanent retainer and it isjust like I was real gentle
singing this morning becausesinging in the shower?
(19:44):
Yeah, in the shower.
In the church choir.
I sang in the church choir.
Um because it's rubbing.
I don't know.
I oh it hurts so bad.
I bit that thing good lastnight.
I wanted to cry.
(20:05):
This makes you want to cry.
SPEAKER_01 (20:07):
So are so on the tongue, which is worse, the side
of your tongue or the tip ofyour tongue to bite?
SPEAKER_02 (20:11):
This is on the bottom.
I'm saying it's worse.
No, I'm saying this is bad.
SPEAKER_01 (20:16):
What's in the tip?
I don't know.
You bite the side of yourtongue.
SPEAKER_02 (20:21):
This is how did it get on how did I buy the bottom
of it?
SPEAKER_01 (20:25):
But the thing is, is when normally when you bite your
lip or you bite your tongue,you're more likely to do it
again pretty soon afterwards.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (20:32):
Yeah, when you bite your like your jaw.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (20:34):
Or something.
Why is that?
Is it because you got that?
It's got a little skin tag orsomething in there or something.
SPEAKER_02 (20:40):
Yeah.
But the bottom of my tongue ishurting.
Or it's not hurting, it's likebothering me because I can feel
it.
And I'm afraid it's rubbing onthat.
SPEAKER_01 (20:52):
So you're talking about biting your tongue.
So last night I didn't sleepgood because I kept getting a
cramp behind my knee all nightlong.
SPEAKER_02 (21:00):
We sound old.
SPEAKER_01 (21:02):
I but I don't know.
I have not got a leg cramp inforever, and I so was gonna get
up.
I don't know how many times.
But then I'd look at the clockand I'm like, this is really
gonna mess up.
You know how it is.
It's like you wake up in themiddle of the night and you have
to use a bathroom and you lookat the clock and you're like, We
don't want to get up.
Well, the thing is, it's like,all right, my alarm's gonna go
off in 30 minutes.
(21:23):
You think I can still just layhere and maybe sleep for 30
minutes even though I have to goignore it.
Yeah, ignore it.
Or do I go ahead and just getup, use a bathroom, go back to
bed, but then you feel likethat's just gonna ruin the rest
of your your 30 minutes ofsleep?
SPEAKER_02 (21:36):
Well, I tell you, I have to get up and go.
I can't hold it.
I'm not young anymore.
I've just come to thatconclusion.
SPEAKER_01 (21:43):
Well, you just need to stop drinking after five
o'clock.
SPEAKER_02 (21:47):
That's a negative.
SPEAKER_01 (21:48):
That's how you solve that right there.
SPEAKER_02 (21:52):
At least I don't go to bed with water.
I used to.
SPEAKER_01 (21:55):
Or ice.
Crushed ice.
That's crazy.
I know.
That's all you used to drink.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (22:03):
I just now making ice and I hadn't made ice in So
yeah, we have an ice maker thatyou make that small what kind of
crushed ice.
SPEAKER_01 (22:11):
Crushed.
I was gonna say it's not pellet.
SPEAKER_02 (22:13):
It's like sonic ice, if you know what's sonic, if you
have sonic.
SPEAKER_01 (22:17):
It's really good.
But I don't eat but I don't doice very seldom.
SPEAKER_02 (22:22):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (22:23):
You know, I don't I've got a ice.
I've got my Pepsi right here,and there's no no ice at all in
it.
SPEAKER_02 (22:30):
I don't know why, like, I'd rather have ice than
the drink.
I'm like, fill my cup full andput and I just need you to
flavor my ice.
SPEAKER_01 (22:40):
But you're the one that if you got a fountain drink
at a gas station.
I'm filling up.
If you got the big one rightthere, you're filling it up to
the top with ice.
SPEAKER_02 (22:48):
Mm-hmm.
And see barely any drink.
SPEAKER_01 (22:50):
And see, and I wouldn't.
SPEAKER_02 (22:52):
I just wanted a little bit just to flavor your
ice.
SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
I'm the opposite because I feel like I'm paying
for the drink.
I don't I'm not paying for ice,I'm paying for drinks.
So I want as much drink aspossible.
A little bit of ice.
SPEAKER_02 (23:03):
Not me.
SPEAKER_01 (23:04):
But if the fountain drinks were cold when they came
out, I wouldn't get any ice atall because it would be a cold
drink.
SPEAKER_02 (23:10):
But of course they don't do that, so and I I've
learned that you don't like ice.
Not that you don't like it, butyou hardly ever need it.
SPEAKER_01 (23:19):
No.
Because I drink water.
So how long have I learned I'vedrunk I've drunk bottled water
what room temperature all thetime.
I don't drink cold water.
I mean, the only time if it'slike extremely hot outside,
working outside, I mean a coldwater is fine, but if I don't
have one, it's fine because roomtemperature water is just as
(23:41):
good.
So how long what?
SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
So how long have we been learning each other?
SPEAKER_01 (23:47):
Oh, I don't know.
I've got you figured out Ifigured you out a long time ago.
SPEAKER_02 (23:52):
You don't get where I'm going with that?
SPEAKER_01 (23:54):
Our anniversary was last year.
SPEAKER_02 (23:56):
Ah, there you go.
SPEAKER_01 (23:57):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (23:58):
We hadn't been on here since then.
SPEAKER_01 (24:01):
So you said 27?
27 years?
SPEAKER_02 (24:04):
27 years.
SPEAKER_01 (24:06):
And I'm probably still thinking it's 28.
SPEAKER_02 (24:08):
It's not 27 years.
We got it.
SPEAKER_01 (24:10):
Well, we got into that whole debate, I think, last
year of what year.
SPEAKER_02 (24:12):
Well, we got married in 98.
SPEAKER_01 (24:14):
Congratulations.
That was 27.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (24:19):
That means I've been out of school 27 years.
SPEAKER_01 (24:24):
I graduated in 94.
So 31 years for me.
31.
SPEAKER_02 (24:33):
How about that?
SPEAKER_01 (24:34):
And I wouldn't go back for nothing.
SPEAKER_02 (24:35):
Oh no, me neither.
SPEAKER_01 (24:36):
I don't care nothing about it.
I don't miss it.
Oh.
SPEAKER_02 (24:42):
Me neither.
Well, all right.
You think that's about all wegot to ramble off about?
SPEAKER_01 (24:47):
Sure, if that's all you got.
I'm looking at theseready-to-eat tamales that's
underneath this thing righthere.
That something's got to be donewith them.
SPEAKER_02 (24:56):
I know.
You need to throw them away.
I don't even know why you comehome with them.
SPEAKER_01 (24:59):
Well, I was talked into it.
I think I've talked about thisbefore, but this guy guaranteed
me these were like the bestready to ready to eat.
If you're going down the roadand can't microwave or anything
like that, they're fine.
SPEAKER_02 (25:10):
And they were on clearance.
And if you ever put Jody Ratliffin front of a dang clearance
that he thinks he can dosomething with, he's loading up
on them.
SPEAKER_01 (25:20):
Normally it's merchandise like when we had the
booth where we had toys andstuff like that.
SPEAKER_02 (25:24):
He don't know how to just one or two.
He thinks he's got to get themall.
SPEAKER_01 (25:27):
No, that's not true because I thought I thought this
was a good deal.
That's the only reason I gotlike four boxes of these things.
SPEAKER_02 (25:34):
I think you had more boxes than that, and I've thrown
some away.
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
No, you did not throw them away, no.
Yes, I did.
I need to get one and show themso everybody knows what I'm
talking about.
That's what I do.
SPEAKER_02 (25:46):
Well, the the people listening don't know what you're
talking about.
SPEAKER_01 (25:50):
But if you watch this on YouTube or whatever like
that, that's what it is.
Let me talk into the money.
SPEAKER_02 (25:58):
I was gonna say they did not hear you.
SPEAKER_01 (25:59):
Well, I usually wear a headset, so I'd know if I
wouldn't.
So you have these little readyto eat that's called walking to
the bottom.
SPEAKER_02 (26:05):
I think you should open it and eat it.
Yeah.
I think you should open it andeat it.
SPEAKER_01 (26:09):
So you got what, mild and hot?
Yeah.
Bean salsa.
SPEAKER_02 (26:16):
Go ahead and try it.
unknown (26:18):
No.
SPEAKER_01 (26:20):
I tried one of them and it's nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (26:22):
It might it might help you with.
SPEAKER_01 (26:24):
Put that right there.
No, we don't want to advertisefor that.
No.
No.
Put that down there.
I don't know.
I might could feed that to thefish.
SPEAKER_02 (26:32):
There you go.
SPEAKER_01 (26:33):
There's something I can feed them today.
So, yeah, if y'all are listeningto this, check us out on uh
TikTok, this, that, anotherpodcast.
And uh we do lives.
I'm trying to get Amanda downthere when I do these lives.
SPEAKER_02 (26:46):
You do your lives when I do mine.
SPEAKER_01 (26:48):
Well, I'm not fishing.
Everybody can't believe that.
SPEAKER_02 (26:50):
Everybody wants you to fish.
SPEAKER_01 (26:51):
They want me to fish.
They want me to hook them withthese catfish.
But yeah, it is when I tellpeople that I feed catfish, they
just think a handful, whatever.
But there is a ton of catfishdown there, and big ones, you
know, eight pounds.
Maybe some ten pound ones inthere, but but yeah.
So, but as the water goes down,they'll uh they're getting to
the point to where they're gonnabe getting deeper and I'll be
(27:13):
done.
SPEAKER_02 (27:14):
Good.
Now you can take that money andbuy me steak.
SPEAKER_01 (27:17):
Steak.
SPEAKER_02 (27:19):
I like a good steak.
Somebody else cook it.
What else?
Like I'm in that phase where Idon't want to cook anything.
SPEAKER_01 (27:26):
Well, we've gotten to the point now with the cost
of everything that you do justas good for the most part.
SPEAKER_02 (27:32):
Now when you're if you don't have a big family to
go out to go out to eat.
SPEAKER_01 (27:38):
And I thought you want to talk about that too.
SPEAKER_02 (27:40):
It's pretty good.
SPEAKER_01 (27:40):
Yeah, empty nesters type thing.
Yeah.
Um so if you can go buy theingredients, you like you can
get four bags of groceries for60 bucks and you're like, what
in the world?
You know, and that's not sayingthat that's what it's costing
you to eat.
I'm just saying it's crazy howwhat few bags you're walking out
of Walmart with and how muchyou're spending on.
I don't walk out of Walmart.
(28:01):
But no, you're right.
You just drive in and you getthe water.
SPEAKER_02 (28:04):
I just drive in and get on Man.
SPEAKER_01 (28:06):
You hit that button to open up the back hatch.
SPEAKER_02 (28:09):
I open up the hatch.
SPEAKER_01 (28:11):
I'm not going to get it.
Are you Amanda?
And you say yes, and then I'mnot going to do that.
All you do is say, hey, justdon't smush my bread for the
love, please.
That's all we're asking.
And let me ask Walmart ifWalmart is listening right now.
You think Walmart is listening?
Sorry, probably not.
So when you get your deliveriesor when they bring this to your
(28:31):
car, and we've talked about thisall the time, why can we only
put one item in every bag?
We will get a, say if we got ahundred items, we're getting 92
bags.
SPEAKER_02 (28:42):
Yeah, that's the stupidest thing.
It's so wasteful.
SPEAKER_01 (28:46):
I can get two cans of green beans, and I'll have
one can and one bag, I'll haveanother can and another bag.
So I got two cans, I got twobags, and that's how they do
across the board witheverything.
There's very few items that youget more than one item in.
And I don't know why.
I have no idea why.
I could understand the waythey're picking it at the store,
(29:07):
and it just so happens this isthe only item on this aisle that
I'm getting, so it's get goingin this bag.
SPEAKER_02 (29:12):
They're throwing it in the big little but when you
get two of the same item, that'swhat you're saying.
Why?
SPEAKER_01 (29:17):
Well, I would think like if I'm getting two, why are
they not in the same bag?
Yeah, why are they not in thesame bag?
SPEAKER_02 (29:22):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
I don't know.
If I'm on the same bag, it makesme ill.
SPEAKER_01 (29:27):
I don't I don't get it.
SPEAKER_02 (29:29):
I don't get it either.
So yeah, we I'm in that phase.
I don't want to cook.
Jody will eat anything.
So it really doesn't matter if Icook.
We have a 20-year-old and I'mlike, he can cook whatever he
wants to do.
SPEAKER_01 (29:41):
But if we go back to where, yeah, now it's I mean,
why do you think it's a goodthing?
SPEAKER_02 (29:45):
So on certain days I've got it to where you can get
hot dog chili dogs for$1.49.
SPEAKER_01 (29:52):
Well, I can get Sonic because it's on.
Yeah, they got somethingspecial.
SPEAKER_02 (29:57):
I mean, I can get that cheaper than I can go buy
grocery.
So And who doesn't like a youknow a I don't care for 'em, but
I'll I'll deal with it.
I'll eat something at home.
SPEAKER_01 (30:10):
See, Jim and Nicks used to have like a kid's
chicken finger snack thing.
Yeah, that's a good thing.
But you could only get itthrough the drive-thru.
Yeah.
You couldn't order inside.
But it was just enough that itcould fill you up and it was a
good price.
SPEAKER_02 (30:23):
You could eat$20 there.
Jack's, if you're in the southwhere we are.
Jack's we can eat for I can eatfor nothing there.
Under$20.
SPEAKER_01 (30:34):
Yeah.
But what did you get?
SPEAKER_02 (30:38):
Sonic.
I mean not Sonic.
Subway, if I catch it justright, you can get half price uh
footlongs.
And I always have enough foodleft over for the next day.
But y'all scarf y'all's down.
SPEAKER_01 (30:52):
If I'm ordering a meal, that's my meal.
That's not I'm not ordering ameal for two days.
SPEAKER_02 (30:58):
I eat on a meal for two days.
SPEAKER_01 (30:59):
Well that's fine.
So yeah, we're at that pointnow.
You know you always talk aboutwhich is cheaper.
Well, I really do believe nowwe're at the point that if if
you play your cards right, it'syou're doing just as good to
just go out and get somethingdeep.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (31:13):
What Pizza Hut back in the summertime, they run two
dollar pan pizzas.
So I got eight pan pizzas forsixteen dollars.
SPEAKER_01 (31:22):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (31:22):
And that was enough for two days.
SPEAKER_01 (31:24):
Yeah.
And then now with uh Domino's,the thing that I always get
every time we go to Domino's,because you would get like four
pizzas or five, or whatever itis, garlic sticks, whatever.
I I don't know.
What is the thing that I wouldget?
SPEAKER_02 (31:40):
It was like it was marinara sauce.
It was a round cheese.
SPEAKER_01 (31:43):
Round tray of marinara sauce.
And then you got the breadsticksthat look like a like a bow tie.
Garlic knots.
Garlic knots.
Okay.
And that's what I got.
And loved it.
And now it's gone by.
Now it's gone.
SPEAKER_02 (31:59):
Yeah.
That would be our weekend meal.
Because those pizzas were$6.99or$7.99.
So I could buy enough for thewhole weekend.
SPEAKER_01 (32:09):
And this is back too when Nicholas's friend a lot of
times was spending the nightwith us too, so we'd have to get
a little extra, you know,food-wise.
But yeah, but you can't do thislike at say Zagsby's, like we
ate there yesterday.
SPEAKER_02 (32:22):
I mean, that's just too Oh, except they did give me
a receipt to buy one, get onefree.
I need to fill that out.
And we'll do that one day nextweek.
SPEAKER_01 (32:31):
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if anybody knowsthis, but there's surveys that
these are.
Yeah, I gotta do that survey.
When did we do that?
When did we do Zagsby's?
Yesterday.
Even like McDonald's and thingslike that.
They have these surveys that youcan fill out and then you'll get
a free whatever double chicken.
SPEAKER_02 (32:48):
Or I use the app and get rewards on the app.
Chick-fil-A, I've got a lot ofsee.
SPEAKER_01 (32:55):
So I won't do the app at all, so I know y'all can
build up your points.
Yeah, I built up points.
SPEAKER_02 (33:01):
I've started doing the gas.
SPEAKER_01 (33:04):
But I think if you if you play your cards right and
you actually your you do yourdue diligence and kind of look
at these like on Tuesdays, thisplace has a good deal, on
Thursdays they has this.
Just like on Wednesday night atchurch, you know, we have you
know meals, they make, you know,they cook meals.
And so depending on what it is,and most of the time we get
(33:26):
them.
Yeah.
You know, because they're good.
Um we get that, so that's onenine.
So I mean, five dollars, whereare you gonna go for five
dollars?
Nowhere.
To you know, and this will fillyou up, except you're not
getting a drink, and that'sfine.
SPEAKER_02 (33:40):
Um I'm fine with that.
I'd just rather have wateranyway.
SPEAKER_01 (33:43):
So that's the other thing too, is like if we do
cook, we don't cook to haveleftovers on Tuesday because
you're not gonna eat theleftovers on Wednesday.
You're gonna eat church meals.
So you have to do that.
SPEAKER_02 (33:55):
I do like it getting cooler though, and I will start
using the crock pot more.
SPEAKER_01 (33:59):
Yeah, so we'll have chili and stuff like that.
Chili and soup.
And so that'll last us a couplethree days.
About three days is about as faras I'll go on any of that stuff.
SPEAKER_02 (34:09):
I might have some chili.
SPEAKER_01 (34:10):
What's your limit on leftovers?
How many days?
SPEAKER_02 (34:13):
It depends on what it is.
SPEAKER_01 (34:15):
Uh so you got homemade vegetable soup.
SPEAKER_02 (34:18):
I'll eat on it all week.
SPEAKER_01 (34:19):
So we ate it today.
SPEAKER_02 (34:21):
I'll get tired of it before we'll finish it
basically.
SPEAKER_01 (34:24):
So if we're eating it like right now, we put the
leftovers in the fridge.
You're eating it tomorrow, whichis Monday.
Tuesday?
SPEAKER_02 (34:31):
Probably Tuesday for lunch.
No, I might skip it lunch andeat it Tuesday supper.
SPEAKER_01 (34:36):
Wednesday?
SPEAKER_02 (34:39):
That's an iffy.
Because I'm tired of it by theend.
SPEAKER_01 (34:42):
Wednesday, I'm not even it's not even a question.
SPEAKER_02 (34:45):
I might eat it for lunch.
SPEAKER_01 (34:46):
No, I'm throwing it out.
Because in my mind, that's likeit's too long.
SPEAKER_02 (34:50):
But it's not.
SPEAKER_01 (34:51):
Well, it is.
SPEAKER_02 (34:52):
It's not.
SPEAKER_01 (34:52):
If we cooked it and you've ate it on a Saturday, or
excuse me, Sunday, I'm eatingleftovers on Monday.
Tuesday is my last day of eatingleftovers on it.
SPEAKER_02 (35:02):
Then you're on your own because I ain't cooking.
So I'm just, well, I mean,that's fine, but that's And see,
he tells me that's fine, so Idon't cook.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (35:09):
I mean, I'm just saying, I'm not, I am not, I
don't care what you say.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I don't care.
In my mind that you can't, Ican't eat it.
In your mind, you can't eat it.
SPEAKER_02 (35:16):
I can.
SPEAKER_01 (35:17):
Nope, absolutely not.
There is a fine line.
I don't care refrigerated ornot, that don't make it healthy
or safe or there's nothing wrongwith it though.
There's so many days that youcan go before that's like milk.
All right.
If you have milk, we've got agallon of milk, it's sitting in
the fridge, it hadn't been theseal has not been cracked on it,
(35:39):
and it went out of dateyesterday.
I'm not drinking it today.
I'm not cracking it open anddoing the smell check and
saying, well, it smells fine,it's still good because it
hadn't been.
No.
SPEAKER_02 (35:49):
Well.
SPEAKER_01 (35:51):
Now you cook with it.
But uh, you are not, and Ican't, I'm not smelling milk.
SPEAKER_02 (35:58):
We don't even drink milk anyway.
SPEAKER_01 (36:00):
You know, I used to do cereal and stuff like that,
but I really no.
But if you'd say, hey, smellthis milk, see if it smells
alright.
I'm like, absolutely not.
SPEAKER_02 (36:07):
You can't even smell.
SPEAKER_01 (36:08):
I'm not smelling milk.
You can't even smell, so itdon't.
Smelling milk is a turn off forme.
I don't care if it, you know.
I feel like you're setting meup.
Like, smell this and see if itsmells alright.
Well, apparently you think it'snot alright, because you're
asking me to smell it, and soyou're setting me up to I don't
want to smell a bad smell if itis not alright.
(36:32):
So I'm not doing it.
So yeah, milk, whether it'scracked, the seal's cracked or
not, even if it goes out todayand we still got half a gallon.
SPEAKER_02 (36:40):
Oh, let's talk about the egg thing.
We're talking about things thatare old. 'Cause we could put
that video out there.
SPEAKER_01 (36:46):
I don't know what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_02 (36:48):
The egg that I cracked open.
SPEAKER_01 (36:52):
Oh, duh, you cracked an egg after the fact, and then
I got the phone or we videoedafter the fact, right?
You came and got I was outside.
SPEAKER_02 (37:02):

me in and showed me, but goahead.
SPEAKER_02 (37:08):

I was cooking eggs and you crackone open.
SPEAKER_01 (37:14):
So I don't I might throw up.
SPEAKER_02 (37:18):
I put my eggs in my skillet and scramble them up,
put my milk in there and thatkind of stuff, so I'm not
messing up another dish.
And I'm cry I've cracked two orthree eggs.
And when we eat eggs, we eat alot of eggs.
If I'm cooking it for likebreakfast or supper, I I don't
(37:39):
cook it for breakfast because Idon't do breakfast.
But I cracked the um one egg andit was blood runny.
SPEAKER_01 (37:49):
It was nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (37:50):
It was bad.
SPEAKER_01 (37:51):
I would have to go back to that video to see
exactly what we gotta find thatvideo.
Yeah, because I can't picture itexactly, but I do know it was
nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (37:59):
Yeah.
So I was turned off from eggsfor a while for that.
I might be turned off now.
Dang it.
Why'd you bring that up?
Thanks.
SPEAKER_01 (38:09):
I didn't remember it all until you brought it up.
I don't remember that.
SPEAKER_02 (38:12):
Yeah, so that was crazy.
SPEAKER_01 (38:14):
You know, it's funny how you just when you get a
certain a smell or a certaintaste, something happened.
Say you got sick off something.
Say you ate some kind of Mexicanor whatever it is, and then you
were like really bad sick thatnight, and you're like, even the
thought of that food is aturnoff forever.
(38:35):
You know?
SPEAKER_02 (38:36):
Is it really forever?
Well, just like if you find itfor a long time.
SPEAKER_01 (38:40):
Well, just like a hare.
Just like I f a long time ago Ifound a hare in a um is it
McDonald's and their what'stheir big it's got three or four
pieces of bread in it?
No, pieces of bread in it.
Big Mac.
Big Mac.
Yeah.
And this was back when they usedthe s the cardboard to wrap
(39:00):
around the s you know the sideof it to keep it standing up
tall.
And so when you took thatcardboard off, there was a hair
wrapped in there with thatcardboard.
Nice.
Yeah.
And so I didn't need a Big Macfor When's the last time we had
a Big Mac?
I might not have had a Big Macsince that.
SPEAKER_02 (39:19):
I don't think so.
SPEAKER_01 (39:20):
I was like 19 years old when that happened.
So it's been a minute.
So Oh yeah.
Well Nicholas, matter of fact,it was when you were on your
trip.
Nicholas got us burgers fromWhataburger.
SPEAKER_02 (39:39):
Oh, now you're telling on y'all.
You said Taco Bell, so now y'allwent to Taco Bell and
Whataburger.
SPEAKER_01 (39:46):
So he brought the burgers here, and so I'm I'm
eating.
And the next thing I know, he'scoming, coming over to me, and
he's got something in his hand.
I look up and he's like this,and he's got this big old long
hair that he found in hisburger.
And I'd ate like half my burger,and then that was enough to make
me shut it all down.
(40:06):
I couldn't even eat the friesafter that.
SPEAKER_02 (40:08):
You wasted it.
SPEAKER_01 (40:09):
I wasted it.
I threw it away.
Because it just hit me that way.
I was like, oh my you know, justthe thought.
And why is it?
Why is a hair?
How many women do you know thatgo up to another lady, you know,
oh your hair's so beautiful?
Or they might even touch yourhair or something, what have you
done?
You know, anything like that.
SPEAKER_02 (40:27):
Don't touch my hair.
SPEAKER_01 (40:28):
But you know what I'm saying?
But you let one of them danghairs fall off your head and
that's the nastiest thing ever.
You know what I'm saying?
If you find a hair, if there's ahair sitting on this the counter
right here on this this tableright here, like, ugh, you know,
whether it's mine or whoever's,it's like, why does it it's uh
it's fine when it's up hereattached, especially on a woman,
but if you find one anywhereelse, why is that?
SPEAKER_02 (40:51):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (40:51):
Why is a hair so nasty?
unknown (40:53):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (40:53):
Is it really that nasty?
It might be just you.
I think if I found a fingernailin my fries or on a countertop
or on a countertop or somethinglike that, that's nasty.
unknown (41:08):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (41:08):
I mean if you want to compare the two, I know for
some if if I know for somereason we think hair is the
worst thing ever when you findon something, but if you want to
do a comparison well if it's ahair or a fingernail, fingernail
by far is the absolute worst,horribly thing I think I could
imagine finding on something.
Really?
Yes.
(41:30):
How'd that fingernail get there?
SPEAKER_02 (41:32):
They bit it.
SPEAKER_01 (41:33):
That's it.
If they if they bit it spin itoff and spin it off.
So yeah, so now only do you havea fingernail that's got junk
underneath the nail, whateverthey've been digging in.
Now it's been in their mouth, soyou got all that.
SPEAKER_02 (41:45):
Yeah.
Why are we on this subject?
SPEAKER_01 (41:47):
You started it.
You started it.
SPEAKER_02 (41:49):
I'm done with it.
Bye.
SPEAKER_01 (41:51):
This reminds me, let's go back in time.
SPEAKER_02 (41:54):
Oh Lord.
I thought we were done.
We were done, Timmy.
SPEAKER_01 (41:57):
I'm trying to think of some weird things.
You know, I remember working ata grocery store when I was in
high school.
I was I guess I well, I'd havebeen 16, 15 or 16 years old.
And we'd got a loaf of bread infrom the you know, bread guy.
And there's a shirt sleevecaught up in the where they had
(42:18):
like tied it up.
It was very strange.
I don't even know how thishappened and why he even brought
it in, but it's just theweirdest thing.
And I but besides that, we hadsomebody brought in a jar of
pickles that they had bought.
Hadn't been opened.
The seal hadn't, you know howyou can tell when the tops pop?
So you're talking about theglass jar of pickles, and there
was a big old safety pin on theinside of it.
(42:41):
And how does that happen?
That was definitely intentionintentional at the at the
factory?
Yeah.
But the worst thing, the worstthing of all is, and I've I
don't know if we've talked aboutthis before and I don't think
so.
Um so in our meat department,you know, when you do when you
(43:02):
grind, you know, ground beef,anything like that, your grinds
you throw you you've gothamburger meat you throw in.
It's in the the top of thisthing, it goes down this little
chute and it's grinding it upand it spits it out.
You tray it up, so you gothamburger meat on your tray,
right?
Okay.
So it starts, so it's thrownthrown in the top of this little
machine.
(43:23):
All right.
So what they do too is you throwyour uh your your scraps, your
cutting, anything that you'vecut off of meat, some you know,
fat, anything like that,anything that you can use that
you're not throwing away, youcan use that in your in the
ground beef.
So you throw it in there and itmixes it up and all this kind of
stuff.
So the guy's trayed up all thisground beef that evening, right?
(43:44):
And he's he's trayed it up, he'sweighed it, he's wrapped it,
he's put it out there on thecounter, it's been selling, all
this kind of stuff.
Well, then he notices he's got acut on his finger.
He had a cut on his finger andhe had something on that cut
called a band-aid.
The band-aid is gone.
The band-aid is missing.
So at some point during theprocess of him doing these
(44:06):
grinds and all all this, thatband-aid got thrown in there,
mixed up with all that groundbeef, and it got trayed up
somewhere.
So so there's exactly very nice.
Well, I'm done.
SPEAKER_02 (44:25):
I'm done after that.
SPEAKER_01 (44:26):
But it'd cook out, will it not?
Sure.
That hair won't cook out.
That hair's in there.
SPEAKER_02 (44:31):
That bandaid ain't gonna cook out, doofus.
SPEAKER_01 (44:34):
The stuff on that band-aid will.
SPEAKER_02 (44:35):
And the stuff on that hair will.
SPEAKER_01 (44:37):
That grease, it'll burn it all out.
Yeah.
That hair though.
SPEAKER_02 (44:40):
Burn it up.
SPEAKER_01 (44:41):
No, that hair's still there though.
That hair ain't disappearing.
SPEAKER_02 (44:44):
That band-aid ain't either.
SPEAKER_01 (44:46):
I think that's the problem with hair, is because it
will not disappear.
SPEAKER_02 (44:50):
You think?
SPEAKER_01 (44:50):
I think so.
But the worst thing is like ifyou bite into something and then
you got the hair in your mouth.
SPEAKER_02 (44:54):
No, no, I don't like that.
I can't do that.
SPEAKER_01 (44:56):
Well, who likes that?
Nobody likes that.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (44:59):
Okay, I'm ready.
Because I have to be back atchurch at 4 30.
Well so.
SPEAKER_01 (45:04):
I mean, you've got three hours.
SPEAKER_02 (45:06):

I'd like to go eat a little bitmore.
SPEAKER_01 (45:11):

SPEAKER_02 (45:12):

I doubt it, but okay.
SPEAKER_01 (45:16):
All right, well, thanks for listening to episode
51.
We didn't celebrate our lastepisode, the milestone of
episode 50.
50 years.
So we've been doing this for ayear and a half now.
Should have been around April oflast year when we started doing
this.
So we've been doing this awhile.

(45:37):
be regular.
SPEAKER_02 (45:38):

podcast regular.
I'm talking about once a weekpodcast regular.
SPEAKER_02 (45:52):
Once every two.
SPEAKER_01 (45:53):
But we have a hard time doing that.
So we are gonna try better, andwe've promised, and we have
promised.
But uh, we've had, you know, Iwas telling you last night,
we've had one at episode sevenof our podcast is taking off for
some reason.
It's getting some kind ofattraction.
We've got a the room that we'rein right now, our podcast room,
we've got Winched and the Yorkiesitting beside me.
(46:15):
Squirrel.
And then well, I know I wasgonna mention that we've got a
little chihuahua.
You're squirreling.
We've got a little chihuahuanamed Coco that she keeps
sticking her nose under the doorthat we're looking at right here
past the camera, and you hearshe's that's what you hear.
SPEAKER_02 (46:32):

up in it.
SPEAKER_01 (46:38):

SPEAKER_02 (46:39):
Disgusting.
SPEAKER_01 (46:40):
Absolutely nobody except me.
SPEAKER_02 (46:42):

But she keep you hear her keepwalking past the door, and the
next thing you know, you see alittle nose or a paw, and then
you hear her sniffing like, arey'all gonna come out or are
y'all gonna let me in?
SPEAKER_02 (46:55):

SPEAKER_02 (47:03):
I don't know, but let's go.
