Well, that's good, because it's not alcohol.
So here you go.
It's not water.
So here you go, it's not water,so it's not one of my water
concoctions.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I mean, what is it?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's a new drink.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Something you made up .

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Flat.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
What is?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
it.
It tastes flat.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
It's not flat, it's new.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't know.
I can't tell I've got somethinggoing on with my taste and my
smell.
Try it one more time.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
And apparently my breathing also.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
You're not getting enough.
I'm getting blingy.
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Black Cherry Dr.
Pepper.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Black Cherry.
What's the difference between?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Black Maybe it's not Black Cherry Now I can't
remember what it is.
Black Cranberry no, it's thedifference between Black.
Maybe it's not black cherry NowI can't remember what it is.
Black cranberry no, it's thenew Dr Pepper, hmm.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
So cherry Dr Pepper wasn't enough.
Now we got to go with blackcherry Dr Pepper.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I like cherry Dr Pepper.
This is not my favorite.
Yeah, I'll drink it, but ittastes bland to me.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But, like I said, I've got I don't know ever since
we had COVID in 2020, my senseof smell comes and goes with.
You know, it would last a fewweeks of I'd smell smoke, then
I'd go back to normal, and thenthere's a time that it just
smelled I smelled rotten meat ina way and it'd go away.

(03:22):
And then smoke and it'd go away, and then just a crazy smell
for a little while, then it'd goaway, and then smoke and it'd
go away, and then just a crazysmell for a little while, then
it'd go away, and then it's beenat least six months, eight
months, since I've had anything,and now I've got this weird
it's like a perfume type smell.
I don't really know how toexplain it, but it will not go
away and that's all I smell, nomatter what I do, where I'm at.

(03:43):
That's what I smell and mytaste.
My taste't as bad, but it'saffecting my taste a little bit.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
My taste has never been the same since we had it
back years ago.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, but I kind of thought it was over with.
I thought maybe finally thesense of smell thing, the sinus
thing, is over with.
But now that this has happened,I actually even took a COVID
test Friday just to see if maybeit was one of the you know
effects.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Were you going to quarantine if you had COVID?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
No, I just wasn't going to tell anybody.
I mean, I'm not lying, that'swhat I was going to do.
I just was not going to getaround people except you.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And I'm around everybody.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, I don't think COVID's a thing anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I think it's made everybody.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, I don't think COVID's a thing anymore.
You don't.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I think it's made up.
Well, just kidding.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
We think those darn.
Covid shots gave my daddy'scancer back, so you know.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Gotta watch what you say about COVID on YouTube,
because they'll cancer you.
Oh, they'll block this video.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Hmm.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Block this account Anyway.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Excuse me, what was you going to say about your?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
dad's cancer.
It's back.
We hadn't talked about that.
Not that we necessarily need to, but did you want to say what
the doctor said about?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Said it was lung cancer.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well, I know, but the time of COVID.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
So it has a mass on his lung, but it's not lung
cancer, it's colon cancer, whichhe had years ago.
He's been cancer free for since2018 and it's back and they say

(05:20):
that it um, it's not proven,but several cases have been.
I don't know how to say it.
Like, how do I say it that theshot, the covid shot, is making

(05:40):
cancers that didn't come back.
Come back.
How about that?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
it's basically saying that they're seeing cancers
that people have had previously,because colon cancer usually
doesn't come back because he'shad it all took out.
Yeah.
I mean, and it's not well, wedon't know if it's in lymph
nodes yet, but so but he saidthat they're finding out that
the COVID shot possibly iscausing reoccurring cases of

(06:08):
cancers to come back.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And so that's kind of what he's saying about this.
This is what he believes is whyhe has cancer.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Because he has a mask on his lung and everybody's
like he's got lung cancer.
I'm like no, it's colon cancer.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, the thing was we won't rehash the whole thing,
but when he went to theemergency room or went to the
For a different problem.
Yes, went to urgent care.
They couldn't help him.
They sent him to the ER becauseof this issue.
And when they did the x-raysand all that, what else did they
?
Do Not just x-ray.

(06:42):
Cat scan, cat scan they sawthis on his lung, and so, before
we could ever get to theemergency room, the doctor sat
down with him.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
He's by himself.
He's by himself, by himself.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Told him that you've got a large mass in your lung
and it's lung cancer.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
And so you can imagine him by himself what he's
thinking and where he went to.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
But see, I think people are hearing in your lung.
I don't think it's in the lung,it's on the lung, it's on the
bronchial thoracic, something,something.
Because I understand that, butI'm just.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'm talking about the doctor.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
When it first the bedside manner, he said lung
cancer.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Him going, instead of him saying, look we found a
spot, or we found a mass.
I'm not really sure and I'm not, you know, inclined to say
exactly what it is, if it'scancer or not, but we're going
to send you on to anotherhospital to get you checked out,
but he was sent to thathospital for the other problem

(07:50):
he'd come in at, not really forthe spot, but they could do them
both at the same.
While he was in there they foundthe spot because of the other
issue he was having.
That's the bottom line.
They sent him to the otherhospital for the issues he's
having, but while he's therethey're going to get a
specialist whatever to do that.
But pulmonologist yeah, justsaying the uh er doctor was in
the wrong, in my opinion, on howhe addressed the situation and

(08:13):
he was completely wrong becauseit was not lung cancer.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It is not lung cancer and he's telling him it's lung
cancer but it looked like it,like even the pulmonologist was
like it's look that he's like itcould be this, this or this,
and then they come back andthose tests are negative and it
was actually the colon numbersthat were yeah.
So he just kept saying it's aweird case, so it's just weird,

(08:38):
it really is weird.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
If I'm an ER doctor, I have to be knowledgeable about
a lot of stuff.
I got to know a little bitabout a lot, correct?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
But if I am a specialist, I specialize in one
type of whatever, then I'm notgoing to venture off into
another ailment because I don'tspecialize in this.
So my point being is, if I'm anER doctor and I see this, I am
never going to go out on a limband say, hey, 100% cancer,

(09:10):
that's what it is, this is wherewe're going to send you.
You just kind of beat aroundthe bush and say, hey, we're
sending you, I'm going to sendyou to the next.
That's what I would do.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
If somebody's by their self, that's what I would
do.
If somebody's by their self.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
That's another thing.
If you had a family, talk tothe family outside, maybe before
you go in there, or at leastone of the members of the family
.
I guess, but I'd still say look, I'm not sure this is what it
looks like, but I'm not going totell you I'm 100% sure.
But when we send him to thisnext hospital they'll figure it

(09:46):
out.
I don't know.
Hands clean Done, yeah, and notthat I'm an ER doctor trying to
throw it off on another doctor,but I'm just.
I would never feel comfortabletelling somebody that they had
cancer when I'm kind of thinkingthey do, kind of thinking they
don't.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
So that's been crazy.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, and Winston finally got a haircut.
So if you're watching onYouTube you will see he's a
different dog.
He probably lost six pounds ofhair.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, and he's just a .
He's a different dog.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Why are you playing with him?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well, because he wants to play.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, that's because you won't leave him alone.
Look, we're either going to doa podcast or you're going to
play with your dog.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I can do both.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
You can, I can multitask, all right let's talk
about yesterday.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yesterday was Saturday.
You told me Friday somethingthat you wanted to do.
What did you tell me you wantedto do?
You saw an event or a store orsomething in another state and
you said hey, let's check thisout.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Road tripping.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Road tripping.
You wanted to road trip.
Where did we go?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
What did you say?
And when I say road tripping,we can only go a couple hours
away because Jody won't goanymore.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's it.
You got to think about it.
What time it gets dark On theway there, you got to start
calculating how much time youcan spend there, and you got to
be there when the store opens orJody won't go.
Yes, that's exactly right.
Ain't that weird?
Is that not strange?
I am not by myself.
There's no way.
I'm on an island by myself whenit comes to this.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
There's other guys, I guarantee you that.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Let me throw a percentage out there.
I'm going to say 90% to 95% ofthe men out there, when they get
my age, do this.
They're like you start thinkingI want to be home before dark,
or I want to get home at acertain time, and the whole time
you're leaving, you'reconstantly looking at your watch

(11:38):
, thinking, all right, if weleave at 2, we can be back home
by 4.30, or you know that kindof thing.
I really do think that.
I don't think so.
Yeah, I don't think so Becauseyou get older also, you start
thinking I don't really care todrive in the dark, especially if
it's going to rain or anythinglike that.
I don't want to drive in therain.
You know.
You just start doing all thisstuff.
I just want to be at home,bottom line, right, simple life.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm tired of being at home.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Look, I live a simple life, I think until I got into
this podcasting thing, and thenmy simple life has gone a little
crazy, but yeah, so, anyway.
So you wanted to go to Tupelo,mississippi, to the Rusted
Bucket, and Relics.
Relics and Relics.

(12:23):
If you've ever been to the,what?

Speaker 2 (12:27):
was the show we watched Pickers, american
Pickers.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
American Pickers that I don't even know if it, I
think it's just reruns now,maybe not, I don't know.
We haven't watched it in a longtime.
Used to watch it all the time.
So we went to their place inNashville several years back and
I was thinking it was in thisold, looked like a rundown type
factory that they've convertedinto some nice shops and all

(12:51):
that.
So when we were thinking thewhole time we get there, it's
going to be this big old, youknow building with all kinds of
stuff.
And it's not.
It was just a shop for the mostpart You're talking about
Pickers.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Talking about Pickers in Nashville, not what we went
to yesterday, not what we didyesterday.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I'm just trying to combine them or compare them
rather.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
It was so small.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
It was small and very expensive.
I mean, all we bought was likea magnet for the refrigerator
that said American Pickers on it, because everything else was
like.
But it wasn't like a selectionof nothing either.
It was like I do remember a bigold pair of overalls yes,
hanging out when you first pairof overall yeah, other than that

(13:32):
I mean I don't we should gocheck that store out yeah is it
still there?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
do they still have that one?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
I'm sure they do.
They got that and like one inidaho something like that.
Um, so the one we went toyesterday, relics in Tupelo, had
a car show.
When we first got there therewas such a police presence that
I was like I don't really knowwhat's going on.
So we found out later thatthere was a car show going on,

(13:58):
but when we got to Relics it'slike an old, you think of a
factory that's beside railroadtracks.
The reason I mention railroadtracks is because trains
constantly came through and theyare right on you.
They're like 10 feet from thebuilding when they go by.
But it's like an old factory.
It's three stories but youactually can shop two stories of

(14:22):
it.
The third story, I guess, isjust fake it.
I guess, so you actually canshop two stories of it.
The third story, I guess, isjust vacant.
I guess so, but it's like ait's booths on the inside that
people rent out and they puttheir stuff.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
And, like you said, there was none available.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, there was not a single empty spot in that whole
place.
Now where we live at, there's afew places similar to this, but
you go in there and one inparticular.
It's like every fifth or sixthbooth is empty we need to go
back, yeah, I need to check itout.
Check that one out.
Oh, it's been a month or sosince we've been there, so maybe
they've improved, I don't know.
But uh, but yeah, this placewas, but the pricing.

(15:00):
There was nothing.
I mean, if there was somethingI really liked, I probably
wouldn't have bought it, simplefact because it was overpriced,
don't you think?
well, it's antique well andvintage vintage, a lot of
vintage, saw a bunch of ashtraysa bunch of, or at least you
pointed out, every ashtray thatyou saw, whether it was a single

(15:22):
little glass one, or if it wason the stand.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Was that the other store?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
I don't, it don't matter.
Both of them we saw a bunch ofashtrays.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
But why are ashtrays vintage now?

Speaker 1 (15:34):
It's a thing of the past.
You don't get ashtrays in carsanymore.
It's a thing of the past.
You don't need them.
So it's vintage, so if I get acar with an ashtray in it.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's vintage.
Your car is vintage.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yes, you can get an antique tag for that car.
When's the last?

Speaker 2 (15:51):
year they made ashtrays in cars.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, it's funny you said that because on our other
podcast we looked that up.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Never mind, never mind.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Three wheels, no direction.
By the way, if you're lookingfor another podcast, you never
mention ours on that podcast.
The last episode we did.
We actually did talk about thispodcast.
Thank you very much.
So they're both intertwined.
It's me and two other guys thatdo it and, of course, this one
is me and my lovely wife Amanda,so there.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Anyway, back to our story.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm kicking y'all out .
We talked about it and I don'tremember the year early 2000s I
think, because it was.
We were interested to find thatout because I can remember when
I first started a job at agrocery store in the 90s all the
way up until 98 I guess it was.
I can remember every othergrocery aisle.

(16:40):
We had a ashtray at the end ofit because we had to usedhtray
at the end of it because we hadto put kitty litter, you know,
on the top of it.
And I remember a lady thatworked in the meat department.
She put out lunch meat.
She would be in the coolergetting the lunch meat put on
her cart and she'd have a bigold Virginia Slim in her mouth

(17:02):
lit up, smoking it up likethere's no tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Or when you had to go to restaurants and you weren't
smoking or not.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Which it all smelled like smoke.
I mean, there was no difference.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Well, they'd just block you off with half a wall
is all that was.
There was no ventilation systemput in that specializes in
keeping you safe from the smoke.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I don't miss that.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
No, I'm a smoker and never been a smoker, but it's
hard to believe that.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
But we saw lots of ashtrays yesterday.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
It was crazy Expensive like $40.
The tall ashtray.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Or like not tall, but you know, like.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, on a stand.
On a stand yeah, and some ofthem were like I don't know, it
was just, it was odd, that and abunch of Elvis stuff which you
can Well, we were in Tupelo weare.
But my goodness, I mean, can'tyou finally get Elvis-ed out
after a while?
Can't you have too much Elvis?

Speaker 2 (18:00):
No, can't you have too much, winston.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
If you have a hometown.
I'm just trying to make him goto sleep.
If you had a famous person inyour hometown, every other shop
doesn't need to sell productwith T-shirts and bumper
stickers with that famousperson's face or name on it,
does it?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Sure no when it's Elvis.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Who buys Elvis stuff nowadays?
Anybody.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
So when we were in there there's a younger girl in
there and one of those boothsshe about went crazy in when we
was upstairs in one of theupstairs booths, because then
she saw me over there and she'slike, oh, her and her mama were
in there, and then she settleddown a little bit.
You had walked.
I don't know you have walkedaway just a little bit went
crazy about what?

(18:54):
Oh, about elvis.
It was some elvis, somethingshe found in there, so and that
was a younger girl, younger thanus.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
I know it used to be.
You know, tourists like Japan,they would come over to
Graceland.
This is a big deal Going toplaces like that.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
But now I mean Elvis is so old now.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
And you brought up a very good question and I'd like
to know if anybody else outthere would think about this
Would Elvis be big if he wasstill alive?
Oh yeah, that's what I'd liketo know if anybody else out
there would think about thisWould Elvis be big if he was
still alive?

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh yeah, that's what I'd.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Would he be what he is now?
It's almost like he's infamousin a way because he's been dead
and gone for so long.
But if he continued to havealbums, if he didn't have
successful albums, would he justdwindled into the past and he
about kicked me?
And or would he just be one ofthose that just kept on and kept

(19:51):
on and kept on?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
what he had changed with the times I think you have
to.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
He'd have had to a lot of bands.
Look at the bands let's go into, like rock bands or heavy metal
bands, the metallicas, all thatkind of stuff.
If you look at metallica,nowadays I like watching videos
of metallica, metallic this ishow it's all changed.
It's like back in the day theyhad to, you know they were doing

(20:18):
a concert and then they theydrove all night and then two
days later they another concertand then they got another one
back-to-back after that and allthis and they're touring 250
days out of the year and stuff.
Well, now, with them all theband members, they've basically
got a calendar and they mark offwhat days they've got basically

(20:39):
something going on, whetherit's family events and all that
stuff.
Definitely no concerts, we'renot doing anything.
And they do like a three-dayback-to-back-to-back concert,
say like somewhere in europesell out this huge soccer arena
or whatever, and they have threenights consecutive of their
concert and just making notelling how much money.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Insane.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, but anyway, but back to it.
No long hair.
And it's not that they'vechanged their style, but they've
changed with the times that youknow.
No more long hair.
But you've also got bands, likeI can remember the country
group Lone Star.
She quit pointing at me.
You know my hands.
I tell you what, you just needto tie them down.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm going to next.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Do you remember Lone Star, the country band.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
A little.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, when they first came out they had the 10-gallon
hats, you know cowboy hats, allthat stuff.
They were a hee-haw countryband and then by the time it was
close to when they were Maybe Idon't remember them and by the
time it was almost over withthem.
They were clean cut and stufflike that.
So everybody changes.

(21:46):
You can call them a sellout,call them whatever you want to,
but I think if you're in acertain you see some of these
artists that their music is.
They're not going to change.
They're going to write and singmusic that they like and they
want to do and they don't careabout nothing else.
And then you got the other bandsthat maybe the record label is

(22:09):
behind or the manager is behindthem, changing their act or the
way they're dressed, their styleof music, everything just to be
like the genre, because that'sthe way society is going to or
it's more popular.
If we go this way, you'll saylike shania twain I almost said

(22:29):
train shania twain and all andall them they really swapped up
and went pop some.
They had some songs that wereout, taylor swift she started
off this country, remember that.
Look where she's at now.
You think she's country now.
Hmm, Hmm.
I feel like I've taken over.
Go ahead, you keep talking.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
You're good no-transcript.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
We got to talk about our Tupelo.
We're not done with the Tupelotrip.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
What we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Elvis and you got off on everybody else I know and
let me go off, you got off on atangent on everybody else.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Let me talk loud so you don't hear him cough, since
he gets on to me for coffee.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I can't hit that mute button.
I can't talk for some reason.
I didn't before.
Because you need a swig ofblack cherry yes, that's right
black raspberry black raspberry,that's what it is, that's what
it is.
Black raspberry so the lastepisode we did I was talking
about Hootie and the Blowfishand I was wondering.

(23:30):
1996, september 2nd, I lookedthis up is when they were at the
BJCC in Birmingham.
The concert I went to I didn'tknow the exact date, I didn't
know who opened for them allthat stuff we had a discussion
about.
The last time I looked I couldnot figure out.
This shows how long ago it was,though I could not get directed
in the right path to find outwho it was that opened for me.

(23:53):
So right before we sat down forthis, I looked it up and bam,
it just knocked it out.
There I found out the set list,everything they sang and all
that, but it was Collective Soulthat opened for them Do you
know Collective Soul.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
They ain't been around anymore.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I don't know, I don't think so, but I do not remember
Collective Soul.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I know the name.
What'd they sing Good?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
question I looked at name.
What'd they sing?
Good question I looked at thesongs and I knew them when I
looked it up.
Now I can't think I would singit for you, you're so prepared.
Yeah, just like you.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I just come as I am, so now.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
I can say I've seen Collective Soul in concert, but
I just don't remember it.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Half the people that are listening don't know who
that is.
Oh yeah they do.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
We've got a bunch of old farts that listen to this.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Now they're really not listening, because you just
called them old farts.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Well they're way to go.
They're older Way to go, olderlike we are.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
What else is going?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
on, just off topic.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
So we didn't hit a Buc-ee's.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
There's not a Bucky's going to Tupelo.
No, but you know we didn't talkabout it.
It came a flood while we wereinside that one store.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
But Jody talked to me and I wanted something neat.
Let's go to Love's, reallyLove's.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Truck Stop.
No, you can't look at it thatway.
That sounds terrible when youthrow truck stop at the end of
it, because it is no let's,let's call it a travel center
it's a truck stop no, love'stravel center truck stop, not a
truck stop.
It's a truck stop, no yes youlove it.
You looked around.
I saw you browsing through allthe food that they had in there
all the hot foods, ready to eatfoods, then the salads I saw in

(25:33):
there.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I turned around for a second, I turned back and you
got cookie dough in your hand Iwas trying to make it like
bucky's.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I know, I know well.
The only difference was wespent, I think, 13 dollars
instead of 35 instead.
Of 35 dollars when you go tobucky's because I would have got
some food at bucky's but I willsay, though bucky's even loves,
but bucky's has got it figuredout on how to get you in and get
you out.
Yeah, you know, there's 5 000people in there.
Same thing with the bathroomyou got 200 people waiting to

(26:02):
use the bathroom.
Next thing you know you're inand out.
It's like how did that happen?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I don't know, but they're in there directing you,
yeah they got directors in therewith the flashlights.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I know, like the airplanes, you know yeah, but
it's a good thing to do, becausey'all women, when y'all are in
line, that's out the door y'all.
Just when y'all start talkingand not paying attention, like
the line is moving, y'all go.
You know, and that's why theyhave that person in there with
the you think with the sticksand the?
lights going like this.
Yeah, I was thinking yesterdaya rabbit's foot, a lucky

(26:39):
rabbit's foot, do they makethose anymore?
Can you go?
Because I'm thinking if you goto a Love's, you go to a big
pilot, you go to Bucky's.
Isn't that like a novelty itemthat you would think you would
see a rabbit's foot, or is thata thing of the past?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Thing of the past.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Because it seems like it's just not the thing to do.
It's not a very kind gesture.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Thing of the past.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Is it yeah?
Are you just saying that, yeah,did you ever have a?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
No.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Really.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I could never get one of those.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Too pricey.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, I'm sure.
So why don't we?
Did we just find rabbits andcut their feet off and then let
them loose Is?

Speaker 2 (27:19):
that what we did.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
How rude is that?
I know.
Not lucky for you, Mr Rabbit.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Exactly.
Why is it?
Why is it called a lucky rabbit?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't know I don't have my phone, so if you want to
look it up, you can tell us.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I need you to just know.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
No, why can't it be something you find in the woods
and be like oh my goodness, Ican't believe I found that.
No, you, literally you've gotto have, you've got to cut this
off of an animal, A rabbit.
It's fake.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
They ain't cutting it off of a rabbit, they're making
it.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's a real rabbit's foot.
It's not lucky unless it's real.
Okay, hmm, Keep tellingyourself that one yeah, you're
going to have PETA on us nowbecause you're cutting off
rabbit's foot.
I don't care about PETA.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I could, I just don't care.
Wow, there went our viewership.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
What PETA?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Who cares?
Wow, peta, mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Who cares Wow?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Do you really think we've got people that are
members of PETA that actuallylisten and watch this?

Speaker 2 (28:24):
They're going to protest our show now.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, I'm good, Bring it on.
Are they even an organizationanymore?
They have to dig even deeperinto going to crazy and crazier
ideas on saving animals orinsects or plants or whatever
they do.
Okay, what else you got?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I thought you had something you want to talk about
?
Do I ever have anything I wantto talk about?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I bought a box of tamales from Walmart because I
got talked into it A box.
I bought three boxes of tamalesat Walmart.
They were on clearance.
They're regular $10.
They're marked down twice, sonow they're down to $4.
It was $6 and now $4.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
The reason I know this is because I got.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Really Am I.
I am fidgeting.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
I need to fidget.
You are so your feet, like yourfeet, just can't stay still.
You're nothing, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I need a fidget spinner.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
You're really fidgety today.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
So what if I just don't look at you?
I look straight ahead at thewall right here and I just talk.
At the what At the wall?
The war right here.
Wall right here, wall righthere.
Look, I get enough.
The other podcast I get made up, but no see, you can't even I
can't even talk.
Yeah, the way I talk.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
So all right, talk about your tamales, but keep
your feet still this is.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
This is hard.
I can't even concentrate if Ican't move I just need you to
keep your feet.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Still, you can talk with your hands.
Just leave your feet.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
No, I'm going to try and do it.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Leave your feet still .
You can't.
You're thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
There's going to be a point to where, when it finally
gets off my mind that I'mtrying to stay still, you'll
start seeing me move and I'lljust start back.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Oh, like right now.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, and I'll just start back, oh like right now.
But yeah see.
So I'm looking at this wall.
Okay, I'm not looking at you ornothing.
So a guy that I know he told me, he said you've got to check
out these tamales.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Why didn't you bring one in here to try?
You ain't even tried them.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I did try one.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
You tried one that he opened.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yes, I'm just gauging it off of that, but we'll get
to that.
So he talked me into.
Uh, well, he didn't talk meinto, he just told me how good
they were.
He came out of the store, hadfour boxes of them and I'm like
what do you?
got there and he said he'staught tamale's man.
He said you know how we are,we're just, you know, we're on
the go and looking for somethingquick to eat.
And he said these are reallygood.

(30:57):
He said I was shocked and justtalked it up.
I was like hmm, and then I waslike where?
They are one and where they atand he told me next to frozen
food.
You know the boxes in cap outthere and he's told me.
He said they're 10, regular 10.
They marked them down last weekto six.
I bought two boxes of them thenand that's when I found out

(31:18):
they're good and so now they're$4.
They said so.
I bought four more boxes.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Well, he can have your other ones.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
I said, well, I got to go back in and pick up a
couple things anyway.
So I went in there and I lookedaround and I found the end cap
and there's a ton of them.
And so I thought thought, well,you know, I hate for it to be a
good deal and it'd be a gooditem and me just pass it up.
So I thought, well, I'm notgonna give which one box, I'll
get three boxes.
I mean, what's that?

(31:46):
That's nothing.
12 bucks, it's all right forsomething 12 bucks in my mind
that's a pack of toilet paper inmy mind is something that I'm
gonna eat, eat, so it's worth it.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Okay, but you could have tried it one day.
Because, why?
Because you're in Walmart everyday, so you could have got one
box to try.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
But this is limited to this one store.
I haven't seen it at any otherstore.
So this one store is an hourfrom where we live at, so I'm
not in that store every day.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Well.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
So I couldn't wait till next week and when I'm in
there, and then they're all goneback.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Let us know.
If they're still there thisweek, I will.
I will.
Yeah, when we record again,you'll be going there again.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
So I'm thinking too, like well, nicholas, he's all
the time, you know, something'sgot some protein in it.
He's eating all the time.
I thought maybe this is, if helikes him, he can throw this in
his truck and it'll be justsomething easy for him to eat,
always looking for somethingdifferent, something good.
And so yesterday I was outsidefeeding the fish.
He hollered at me.
He was at the, you know.
He came out of the house andhad tamale on a plate.

(32:51):
He'd put it in the microwaveand just I looked at it.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
He's going to microwave everything.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Even if it's just been sitting there for 10
minutes, he's going to microwaveit.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, but these are you know.
It says you know you can eatthem just like they are right
out of the package or you canmicrowave them.
So he decided to microwave them, so had a weird looking texture
.
I will say that.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Because they're corn, right, they're a corn tamale.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, okay so.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
I knew that.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, I guess they were.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, well, I tried it and I was not impressed I'll
just put it that way Notimpressed at all.
And so I told him I said, atleast try it.
You know I ate a bite of it.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
So you ate it first before he did?
Yeah, you should have neverdone that.
Yeah, you should have neverdone that.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Well, I don't really know if I knew that he hadn't
tried it yet.
He just told me to try it.
You should have never done thatbecause he would have had a
different attitude.
So he tried it and he spit itout right there after he said
they're terrible and I'm prettyclose to terrible the way it
tasted.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
How many times has he tried rice and said he didn't
like it?
Then why did he come tell usthe other day I don't know, oh,
I think I like rice.
Onions, onions.
He was talking about onions,but he did do the rice thing too
.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I don't say rice.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
He did do the rice thing too.
He likes it now.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
I can see with.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
With a certain thing, a certain rice.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Rice, I mean any type of rice, to me is, I can
probably see, depending on ifit's like one of those long ones
, even if it's cooked, I don'tyou know, I'm not big on that.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Okay, well, I used to not be big on stir fry either,
but I'm big on that.
So we have three boxes oftamales.
Well, we have.
Who wants them?

Speaker 1 (34:28):
We have two boxes and seven pieces.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Who wants them.
They're free.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Well no, my plan is Tuesday is to take the two
unused boxes to that guy thattalked me into them and given
them to him and say you're badlymistaken, but here's a gift,
take mine off my hand, give me$8, because my wife said I had
to go buy toilet paper.
I do need to try.
I need to open up another oneand see there's three different

(34:55):
flavors.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Don't put it in the microwave.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
No, I'm not going to maybe the microwave and it might
have.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So I mean because he don't microwave them.
If he's going down the road,he's just that's right.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
But he's opening them up but it says if you can
microwave them, then so I don'tknow.
I'm gonna try another one.
I'll definitely try it againbefore I just throw them away or
anything.
But I was not impressed withthat one hmm, what about you?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
I mean, you was talking them up too.
This guy said they were.
I thought look, if I'm gonna beable to have food now stop.
I make you food sometimes totake for lunch, so it's not like
you don't always have food okay, the other four days out of the
week just because you don'ttake it, that's on you.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
You asked me.
You say like do you want thisto take with you tomorrow, or do
you want to eat it when you getback?

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Sometimes I say, I'll eat it On Fridays.
You eat it when you get back.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Because that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
So what's wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (35:49):
All right then, but the other days, if I have,
something Half the time youdon't take it, you forget it.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, I have to have a note.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
I have to write him a note.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
If you don't leave me a note next to my keys or
whatever with my pile of stuff,I will never remember it's so
early and I'm trying to just getstuff and get out the door.
I would never Even if you leaveme a note, sometimes I still
don't remember Get sidetracked.
I need to ask you, too, aboutmy alarm on my phone.
Did you hear my alarm go offthis morning?

Speaker 2 (36:19):
This morning no.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Okay, so Friday, remember Friday I did not hear
it go and luckily I woke upright after it should have gone
off.
Same thing this morning I neverheard it, cause I don't think
it went off and I just happenedto wake up a few minutes.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
I heard mine and you were still laying in the bed.
I was already awake.
Yes, you were still laying inthe bed and mine goes off
probably 10 minutes after youget up, because I try to start
waking up, because I know I gotto get up when you get out of
the shower.
Yeah, so mine probably goes offabout 10 minutes after.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
So my point being is I need to test my alarm here
shortly, just like set it twominutes from like now let it go
off, see if it's going to go out, or see if I've got some kind
of something silenced, becausethat would have been two times
in a row that it didn't go off.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
So did it go off saturday?
You said it didn't go.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
I had it set saturday , but I got up way before it
went off, so I don't know aboutSaturday.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
So when I go to work, my alarm clock is set an hour
before I have to get up, and Istill don't get up.
I think I've gotten used tohitting it now.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yeah, that's the thing.
If you ever get used to hittingthe snooze that's not good.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I can't get up.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, I'm always like that.
I still say the worst feelingin the world is when you first
wake up.
It's a terrible feeling, is itnot?
I feel horrible, that's mypoint.
But if you get up and stiraround for just a minute, that
feeling is gone.
But it's that initial waking up, is it?

Speaker 2 (37:56):
not no, you're still feeling it right now.
I'm still feeling it.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
That is funny.
So anyway, if the buddy of minegood thing he wasn't selling
stock or anything like thatbecause he'd had me sold- on.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
some kind of Jody was sold on it.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
I was sold on it, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I mean he was trying to sell me on it and I'm just
like, yeah, I don't think so,because if it's what I'm
picturing and imagining, I'mlike the corn tortilla, well,
even on the box it said made inmexico and I thought well, you
know what?

Speaker 1 (38:30):
this is legit, because who better knows how to
make tamales?

Speaker 2 (38:33):
that's the problem you don't like nothing, but one
thing from Mexican food and itain't even real Mexican food.
So these are probably real andyou don't like it because
they're real.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
They're made in Mexico?
Maybe so, but you always get onto me for getting the same
stuff wherever we go.
Now you're going to mention theMexican place that I get the
same thing, but you know why?
Because I love what I get fromthe Mexican place.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
And you might love something else.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
I'm not willing to change and find out that I don't
.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
You would love steak fajitas.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
I don't want to get something and get it home, and
neither it be A.
It was not enough, so I'm stillhungry.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Did you hear what you just said or?
B get it and get it home.
Because, he won't go out to eatanymore for some reason.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Nobody ever asks anymore.
You just automatically order itand go pick it up.
So I went out to eat threeweeks ago at an Applebee's Went
to Applebee's.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Yes, so thank you.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Only because we were out and about.
If we'd have been at home,you'd have been like no, just
order it and bring it homethat's right anyway I had to
figure out the grocery thingthis week, though, because I
ain't buying groceries, becauseI usually do it saturday, I do
it tomorrow you know I want.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
One thing I want to talk about is you know, the pope
recently died.
You did know that right, I knowyou don't keep up with the news
, but you didn't know you're theone that didn't keep up with.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Trump was an hour away from us.
Friday, thursday thursday andyou didn't even know that I had
no idea that you had no idea hewas in tuscaloosa and I had no
idea he was an hour and a halfaway from us and you had no clue
I'd have gone.
Just to see the motorcade.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, I'd have gone for the motorcade.
We went to a rally which youdidn't go.
Why did you not go?
Because you wasn't involved.
You didn't want no part of.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I didn't care nothing about it Didn't care nothing
about it.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
So whatever year 2015 , maybe something like that he
was he came to Birmingham at arally same place where Hootie
and the Blowfish was.
So me and my mom, I took my momand I took Nicholas and we went
to this rally and it was likethe place was rad.
This was, you know, when he wasrunning for president the first

(40:59):
time and the line was allaround the building, you know.
And so when we got close yousaw they had metal detectors.
It was the tsa, it was the fbi,it was secret service, it was.
It was so, so much protectionthere.

(41:20):
It was unbelievable, but anyway, so when it was, when we were
in there and we probably got 10to 15 feet from him, he went
around and was like signingautographs and they and all that
.
So when we left I wanted to seewhere they were going to leave
from.
I was going to try and figureout where they were going to
come out from.

(41:41):
And I'd figured it out and waswaiting on the corner.
I told my mom, told Nicholas, Iwas like he's going to come out
from way down there, couldn'tgo around that corner.
So I was like we're going tostand right here on the side and
watch.
Anyway, a cop walks up and goeshey, hey, hey, y'all back up,
just in case a bomb goes off, orsomething Like that.

(42:01):
I'm like what a thing to say.
Who says that cop?
Well, you don't say that.
He could have said for yourprotection need y'all to back up
just in case something happens,or whatever I mean.
But he says in case a bomb goesoff, I'm like well, thank you
anyways don't like when peopleare truthful and they just don't
beat around the bush.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
I don't like it.
I don't like authority.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
I didn't cross his stupid yellow line.
You know I wasn't doing.
I wasn't pushing up against hisyellow line rope or anything
like that.
I'm just standing here with mywith my camera waiting to video.
Actually, I got him.
If I can, if I can, pull thatup, I got him on video saying
that.
It's funny.
I'm like I just want to seetrump leaving his little

(42:46):
entourage.
This is before he was in thebeast and all that stuff.
So he's in just a normal suvwith a bunch of cop cars around
him and stuff.
I just want to see it.
Anyway, fast forward to thursday.
I would have loved to go on andsee the motorcade.
I saw a video it after you toldme he was there.
I think you held this from me.
I really do.
You should have told me should.
I'm think you held this from me.
I really do.
You should have told me Shouldhave.
I'm blaming you for this.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
You're the news person.
You know everything.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
I don't keep up with the University of Alabama stuff,
and that's the reason.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
I came for graduation , so I mean, you know.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
So I didn't check his itinerary.
I should have, but I did watcha video.
But have, but I did watch avideo and I bet I am the one
that has seen it before.
I bet there was a hundredmotorcycle cops in front of that
was leading the pack.
Pretty cool.
Yeah, you and nicholas went towashington when he was in school
and had the washington trip.
You went with them.

(43:36):
Y'all got stopped.
You're at, I guess you're intraffic at a red light and y'all
got stopped.
And then the security stoppedyeah, stopped traffic.
And the motorcade came through.
Yeah, it makes me so sick.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
I want to go.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
I want to go to Washington.
So bad, I'll never go.
I mean, it was never happened.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
We can go.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Uh, I'd have to take time off, and I just don't take
time off, but anyway.
So that's your problem.
Of all people to go toWashington, that doesn't care
anything about it.
Amanda goes to Washington andI'm like I'm the one that should
be there.
But throughout the whole week,what do I keep doing?
I keep getting you're sendingme a picture of this, sending me

(44:23):
a picture of the Pentagon, andI'm like I mean this is great
and all, but you're like drivingme crazy, like because I should
be there, but all this stuffwas free and I didn't realize
that but uh, yeah I didn't knowthat but I will say y'all did
get me a gift while y'all werethere.
Do you remember what it was?
I had you a couple of thingswell, well, I got a Christmas

(44:44):
tree ornament Stuff like that,but a snow, not a snow globe A
paperweight.
Paperweight White House.
I think it's pretty cool, butdo you remember the other thing?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I got you a Mount Vernon shirt and hat.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, that was too small, that I never wore.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Oh what, I got it for the hat, not the shirt.
You get the hat.
Yeah, that was too small, thatI never wore.
Oh what, I got it for the hat,not the shirt.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
You get the hat, you buy the hat and the shirt rolled
up in it.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
It's one of those days I get it.
Yeah, I knew you wouldn't wearthe shirt, I just liked the hat.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
I couldn't wear the.
I wouldn't have wore the shirtif it was my size, but
apparently you know you bought afifth grade.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Because I lost this hat.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah, apparently I have the head of a fifth grader,
but not the body of a fifthgrader, so I couldn't wear the
shirt.
Y'all got me a bobblehead,trump.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Oh yeah, we got it off the side of the road.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Off the side of the road.
You found it.
Yeah, I said I don't want thisthing.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Somebody threw it out .

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Would.
Would you buy it from a vendor?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Okay, it was $100.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
If I knew that I can't tell you?
Surely not.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Are you sure you got two kidneys?

Speaker 1 (45:51):
20 or 30.
I still do.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
You sure?

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, hopefully I don't owe them a kidney.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
You know how you've been sleeping there lately.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
I'm looking at bobblehead Trump right now on
the wall.
He has been many places.
So when you got me atbobblehead Trump right now on
the wall, he has been manyplaces.
So when you got me thatbobblehead Trump, should I get
it and put it.
Let me get it down.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
No, I didn't get that .

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Yes, you did that one .
That is it.
Yes, that one.
Over there is one we boughtlater on.
And then we're looking at thewall.
I've got a shelf that's gotbobbleheads on it, but if you're
watching on YouTube, I'm aboutto get the bobblehead down.
I'm going to sit it right here,so you talk while I'm getting
it.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
I don't have nothing to talk about.
Why don't you throw your micaway and make it tump?

Speaker 1 (46:32):
over Talk about what I did with the bobblehead.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Oh, you made a page and everything for the
bobblehead.
Bobblehead Trump had to goeverywhere with us.
He had to be videoed.
He went everywhere.
He rode in the um in the windowof the truck of red.

(46:56):
Was it red?
Yes so yeah, he had to ride, herode everywhere, he done
everything let me plug thisthing back in you don't need
them.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
I do too, why I really do.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
So I can hear no, you just want to look important.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
No, I'm not looking for.
I really like a goofball,because you don't have, you
can't hear, anyway, all right,I'll go without him, go without
but I I like to know if I'm herein the microphone.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
If you're right here, you're here so with Bobblehead
Trump.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
What I did was I thought it was going to be fun
with Nicholas is we started athing it's called the Adventures
of Bobblehead Trump, Started anInstagram page and then started
a Twitter account, and so theTwitter account got to where

(47:54):
Twitter the Twitter account,which is X now.
I had 24 or 26,000 followers onthere at one time, you know,
but the thing was, you followedme, I followed you back.
That's just the way it was,whatever.
So whatever we did, whatever wesaw, that was patriotic.
We held bobblehead Trump upwith it and took a picture, and

(48:17):
we even went to the mountainsone time and found an Elvis
impersonator and the Elvisimpersonator held bobblehead
Trump.
We took some pictures of justcrazy stuff like that.
So it was really fun to do that.
And then, but that's mybobblehead, and now he just sits
on the shelf Now he justcollects dust, but I like him.

(48:38):
Actually, he's broke on the back.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
I see that.
What'd you do to him?
What what's broke?
Only his foot, he's broke onthe back.
I see that.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
What'd you do to him?
What?
What's broke?
I don't know.
His foot, his heel, the backpart His pants leg, something,
anyway.
So let me go back real quickbefore we get done.
The Pope Pope passed away.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Went from the Pope to Trump.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Well, I was doing that, yeah, and you got on Trump
somehow.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
How'd we get on that?

Speaker 1 (49:03):
I don't know hey, but there is, hey.
He's getting a lot of flack forhe put out an AI picture of
himself as the Pope.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
He's got the whole garb on and everything.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
It was just a fun thing.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
It is, but he said that.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Who cares about the Pope?
I mean really.
Jody I'm not saying I don't notthat he passed away or anything
, but I'm just saying the Pope,what is the Pope?

Speaker 2 (49:27):
The Pope.
If you're Catholic, it means alot If you're Catholic it means
a lot.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah, he's like the spokesperson for the Catholics.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
To us.
He don't, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Catholic, so the Pope doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
That's all I'm saying but you don't have how was I
being mean?

Speaker 1 (49:40):
I'm just saying I didn't say anything about his
death or anything like thatbeing good or anything.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
We've lost all our four viewers that we have.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Yeah, I just wanted to tell this little story right
here.
Well, why don't you just tellit?
You're the one who's like howdare Trump?
Shame on him for having AI makean image of him as the Pope.
Oh my goodness, they shouldn'tdo that.
Really, if you looked at, Ithought she was doing that.
So keep on.

(50:15):
If you, if you looked at thefuneral and saw any of the
footage or anything, you sawguys with these big guns, these
big weird looking guns it'salmost like is that a?

Speaker 2 (50:30):
gun the Pope funeral yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Is it a laser?
Is it a ray gun?
What exactly is it?
But they were guns.
They were drone killers.
Did you ever see it?
Is that?

Speaker 2 (50:39):
why you were looking at drones yesterday.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
No, I was looking at drones just because it's on my
wish list.
Maybe one day, hey, they've.
The prices of drones have comedown so far, but I think drones
are like anything else, I liketvs yeah, what, uh, if you had
to pick out a drone, which dronewould you get?
I have no idea.
There's so many of them.
I do like the ones.
Uh, you know, when we kayak, Ilike the idea of having it where

(51:03):
it follows you, you know.
So it videos you as you'regoing.
So I thought that was prettycool.
But look at that.
I got a picture right there ofit's a black and white picture
I'm showing Amanda that.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I printed out.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Yeah, it's a gun, but it's got a piece of plastic
underneath it.
It's very strange looking andall that.
So let me just read you thisright here.
Do you want me to read?

Speaker 2 (51:26):
to you.
Not really why, because youalready done it on the other
podcast.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
So I have not done this on another podcast, thank
you, nope, I got shot down whenI was going to talk about it, so
I knew that was coming why Idid not get shot down.
This was just one of the thingswhere I mentioned to them
topics that we could talk about,and we never got to this one.
So pictures of security forcescarrying massive guns have drawn

(51:52):
attention across social media.
One video uploaded to X by anArgentinian journalist was
re-shared by someone asking whatkind of weapon the soldiers
were armed with and gained morethan 5 million views, because
people want to know what this is.
These intense-looking weaponsare counter-unmanned aerial

(52:15):
systems, otherwise known as CUAS, also known as anti-drone guns.
They have the power to disruptsignals between a drone and its
operator, forcing the smallunmanned aircraft system to land
or crash.
Did you get that Land or crash?
One version of the anti-dronegun seen at the funeral was

(52:38):
black, with a white plasticplate at the front and weighed
about 7 to 8 kilograms.
Do you know how much 7 or 8kilograms is?
I don't either.
Just wondering.
I thought you might look thatup in my ass, but I know you
don't do that I don't do thatyou don't do anything I ask you
to do.
The soldier described the dronekiller as a frequency jammer and

(53:01):
was accompanied by anothersoldier keeping an eye out for
aerial threats with binoculars.
So you see a drone, you're asoldier, you're at the funeral.
There it is, you jam its littleconnection to the person that's
operating it and what happens?
It crashes.
So you're putting people's lifein jeopardy Because you've seen

(53:26):
some of these.
Some of these drones are big,you know.
So is it better to just?

Speaker 2 (53:31):
I feel like if I'm going to fly a drone, I'm not
going to have a big one, becauseI don't want you to see it If
I'm flying a drone in somethinglike that for some reason, who
knows why.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
But If I'm in a crowd , I don't want a small drone
hitting me in the head becauseit fell out of the sky, because
some guy with an anti-dronekilling gun shot it down, would
you?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
You want a big one.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
No, I'm just saying that thing's got little
propellers and everything and ifit's falling out of the sky
it's going to hit you in thehead.
Either way, I don't want a bigone or a small one to hit.
I'm just mowing to you.
Yeah, so, ah, that's all Iwanted to talk about.
Thanks for listening.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
You just want to talk about your drone.
I did.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
I wanted to get that out there.
I've been wanting to talk.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
It's weird.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Yeah, and they said they've had it for several years
and they've never used it.
So I'm thinking so they have itand we don't.
It's a good question Do youreally think that we wouldn't
have something like that?

Speaker 2 (54:26):
We just don't talk about it.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
That's a very good topic, because I am afraid that
we like to talk things up a lot,our government, and we actually
don't have these things to backit up.
You know what I'm saying.
I like to think we haveeverything, but when I start
really thinking about it I'mafraid we don't have much of
nothing, you know.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
Something really happens.
Are we going to open up thesefactory doors or these military
bases and stuff?
And then what's supposed to bein there?
And there's like it's half full, it's a quarter full, it's not
really full.
On that note Can't do what wewant to note.
I got to get him out of here orwe'll be here all night.
What about drones?
Do we have all these?
What about New Jersey?

(55:10):
All these drones last year thatwere flying around?
They kept seeing them at nightand everybody was concerned
about it and the governmentwould never really answer what
they are, where they're from.
There's all kinds ofconspiracies about it.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
And you don't hear nothing about it.
No more.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
But some of the stuff that, or the government letting
us see it, because it isactually stuff that they have
and they're slowly integratingit into our knowledge.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
I guess you'd say why do we need to know?

Speaker 1 (55:43):
I think some of the stuff we need to know.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
It's like the stealth bomber.
The stealth bomber was so sleekand such a weird design.
They were putting it out there.
People were seeing it andthinking it was a UFO because
nobody had seen anything like it.
And then later we find out oh,it's our government, so they do
things like that sointentionally.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Too many people know too much.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
Do they?

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
I don't know If you go back to like, did we really
land on the moon?
And things like that.
I'm thinking how many people'sinvolved and all these people
are going to be quiet about it.
You can't tell me that theyfaked a moon landing and nobody
is coming out and say I wasthere, we videoed it.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Katy Perry's going to the moon next week.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Oh, Katy Perry's something.
She's got a bunch of flack forthat little trip.
Have you seen that?

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Did you really ask me that?
What?
No, I ain't seen it.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
Well, I just thought you might you do TikTok.
Surely on your feed it wouldcome across about people.
No, I know she got a lot ofcriticism about her dancing,
something about she's not a verygood dancer, apparently on her
new tour they're criticizing herabout that.
She's getting a lot of you know, criticism right now, and she
should.
Her and a little Daisy up inspace.

(57:03):
All right, I guess you're readyto go, unless you got something
else.

Speaker 2 (57:08):
I don't guess, I do.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
I feel like I've done all the talking, as usual.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
It's your show, it's the Jody Show, it's not the Jody
Show.
It's the Jody Show.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Well, I'm going to change the name and kick you out
, then if that's the way it is,that's how you want it, you just
said it.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
I got it on camera too.
You made me crazy.
I got it on camera too.
You just said it.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
You changed the name, apparently.
You don't want to be here.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Well.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
If I put bobblehead in that seat right there in
front of the mic.
