Speaker 2 (00:32):
It has been a hell of a week here. We've
had storm after storm. We had a really nice weekend though,
but we're back to having storms again.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah. It's like, well, I lost power multiple times in
one night. It was it was on, it was off
and off. I'm like, what is going on? The rain,
the winds, they were whipping around like the weather's going crazy.
And I have to say and like, you know, guys,
is my little tinfoil hat on? But I you know,
(01:02):
I want to say this because I kind of feel good.
I feel a little better about my craziness. I've been
was driving to work today and I saw like all
the chemtrails in the sky, and Shanna, you know me,
I have how many years have I been talking about chemtrails?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I also knew about that.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, but I'm saying I'm always vocal about it, you know.
Oh yeah, yeah, very vocal. And I when I was
a little girl, my father as a little girl, this
is back. I'm talking in the nineties. My father would
talk to me about chemtrails and show me them in
the sky and saying, see, those are man made, those
are chemicals. They're manipulating the weather and they're spraying this
to protect us from the sun. And like I was like, oh, yeah, cool.
(01:39):
And I'd go to school and tell my teacher, my
earth science teacher or what and my teachers would be like, no, no,
that's not real. Where are you hearing this from, you know?
And I'm like, my dad told me, you know. And
my dad had learned it from a friend that was
in the military back in the seventies who told him
that the government was spraying the skies and people thought
I was crazy. My friend thought I was crazy. Some
(02:01):
family though, and I'd always talk about it and I'm like,
I'm no, I believe it. My dad told me. He
was showing me articles. And so yesterday I was watching
the news and all news stations are talking about cloud
seating and weather manipulation, that it's real, and like they're
saying it. They're not like saying everyone was right. They're
(02:21):
actually bringing up like nonchalantly like they've always known it,
you know, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, which
I hate that. I hate that shit. So I just
felt a little I felt a little good because I'm like,
all right, I'm not that crazy. I was right all along.
But anyway, yeah, like with the storms today, I was
driving and Jeline is the one who pointed it out.
(02:41):
She's like, Mommy, what's what's the lines in the sky?
And I looked up and I'm like, oh, I'm like,
she's not gonna understand. I'm like, yeah, there was a
chemtrail's baby, they're not real clouds. She you know, she
didn't understand.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But yeah, we're.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Gonna get bad storms now this week.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So and I always was told that they came from planes.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yes, it is planes, but it's not there. If you
look at a regular commercial liner up there, it's vapor, yes,
like steam comes out, it dissipates right away. You ever
look at a big plane in the sky, do you
see trails for sitting in the snow twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, because they go what it goes away because.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's not chemicals. When you see the plane spraying and
it stays for fifteen twenty minutes. That is chemicals. They're
spraying aluminum and a few other different chemicals. It's called
cloud seating, and they're spraying these chemicals into the clouds,
into the sky and it helps to make rain. And
they do this in Dubai. It's like a desert. They
don't have a lot of water. So it is a
(03:37):
real thing. But I don't know why people try to
pretend like it's not and they try to pretend like
you can't mess with the weather, because we can. We
have the technology. We've been doing it since I think Vietnam.
I think that was the first war. So it just
I felt it felt nice, like a pet that heard
it on all news stations, not just right or left,
Like it was all new stations talking about cloud seating.
(04:00):
But they were saying nonchalantly, like as if it was
a normal thing. I'm like, what last year, you guys
were calling us crazy. You know. Yeah, so I had
I took pictures this morning off the show them. But yeah,
I wish I got Julia saying, Mommy, what's the lines
in the sky? You know? But yeah, so this week
should be rainy, stormy, and hopefully we don't get any
(04:20):
flash floods. Because what's going on in Texas right now
is absolutely heartbreaking. Like I'm gonna start crying talking about
it because I told Sean, I said, I can't, I
can't even watch it anymore. Me and this other mom
were talking and as mothers, I was watching these parents
just sobbing, like there their children are missing, still many missing.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
They're found dead holding hands. Yes, three little sisters, three
girls were found dead holding hands, holding each other tight.
It's heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. And I actually my dad was
over in Currville. You spent a few months there, and
I went to visit him, and that's where we stayed,
(05:03):
was between Hunt, Texas and Cerville, and it's very like
a desolate area. There's not much. They call it hill country,
and it is like you think we're rural and in
the country, like that is in the country.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Really.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah. I remember asking somebody that my dad was working with,
so what is there to do like at night, and
the guy was like, you could either go to Walmart
or you can go to the movie theater. And I said, well,
I'm not a big movie person. He said, or you
could drive like an hour to like stan Antonio, and
I'm like, no, I just want to stay like around here,
(05:39):
like what is there to do? And he's like really,
he's like Walmart. So we went to Walmart every single
day like it was. It was crazy, and I will
say it is the cleanest Walmart I've ever seen. And
at first I thought like we were gonna get murdered
because everybody had gunn something.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, it's safer, safer because of that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And then I felt safe. My dad explained to me, like,
they're not here to shoot the place up there. You
know you're allowed to carry.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, yeah, No, it is a little it's always nerve
wracking whenever you see a gun. And I'm a big,
you know, gun person, we go shooting. My husband's a cop,
but yeah, it is always it's nerve wracking, especially from
people from New York. To go to a location where
you see it out in the open on everyone's hip,
You're like, what the heck?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah that was me When I first I was like, Mo,
that guy's got it gone, Dad, that guy's gotta gone.
And my Dad's like yeah, and I'm like, is he
going to shoot the place up? And maybe we shouldn't
go in there. And my dad's like, no guns are
legal here.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I love Texas. I've only went once, but like I
had the same experience as you as everything was clean,
people were very polite, respectful, everyone looked out for each other,
you know what I mean. We drove out into the
country to go horseback riding, like a country part of it,
and yeah, it was very desolate. I don't know where
we went, but it was very desolate.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Might have been Curville maybe like that area.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Maybe. Yeah, we went horseback riding through these it was
it was really nice. But yeah, like it's a different
world out there and I like it. We've actually thought
about moving there because it just the people and the
just the respect, the cleanliness on most of the places
we went to. But to see it now after these
floods and the utter, the heartbreak, the destruction, the loss,
(07:26):
the and then the parents right now that I was
watching this one dad he was ripping through debris around
the camp just I think yesterday, just for some remnants
of his daughter. He still hasn't found her. I I'm
getting really upset talking about it, and like that's I
had to stop. I had to stop. As this world
there's so much going on that like you need to
(07:47):
take a break from it, you know. And I had
to kind of shut down because, like I was crying
in the morning and it was ruining my day thinking
about these children and parents. And it's not that I
don't sympathize with them, it's not that I don't want
to do something for them, but I emotionally and mentally
can't handle it too much, you know what I mean.
It gets to be a lot, and I know that
they're going through worse than I am. And that sounds selfish.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I mean, I can't even imagine sending your child was
it all girl?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is it all girls camp camp?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So you're sending your daughter to camp, this beautiful, gorgeous
camp for the summer, and then like having a storm
and calling you and saying your child was missing.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Wiped a white gone. You know. I couldn't. I couldn't.
That's what's making me so sick as a mother. It
just hits you differently, you know. And we want, we
definitely want to see what we can do to donate,
just like we donated to the North Carolina floods. We
donate a lot of food and supply, so we definitely
want to do the same thing and see where we
can help any way possible, you know, and even just
(08:48):
sharing posts about the little girls that are missing or
the people that are missing, because there's other people that
were effectively just not just the camp but sharing those
so God forbid, you know, I don't know there once,
you want to give these people hope. You want to
give the parents hope, and that's their hope. Those posts
are their hope, like hope that they're going to find
their child, hope that their child is going to be okay.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And whoever would have thought though that that would have happened.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't know. Well lately that's that seems to be.
That seems to be what we're all saying. Who would
have thought that would happen North Carolina? Who would have
thought that would have happened? That would have should have
never happened, never the mountains, in the mountains. No, So
I think that's going to be just a very common
question then, hopefully not for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But you know, like, well, you're going to Florida next
week or the following week.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Next weekend, I'll be in Florida.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So hopefully there's no hurricanes for you.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh, I know, I know, I hopefully you know it's July.
I'm cotting it close because they usually hit around August.
But let's pray because the area I'm going to was
completely demolished last year. Those two hurricanes hit this area
back to back and wiped it all out, like the
roads were gone. They finally built it up, so I'm
(10:09):
excited to see what they fixed. I know they're saying
some parts of this area it's like Minnesota, Key and Florida.
Some parts of this area are still destroyed. But let's
hope not right. And speaking of vacation, I did you
see my posts I put up, and it was like,
(10:30):
our number one rule when we go on vacation is
to never eat at a spot we could eat at
at home.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, So I thought that was like a simple, innocent,
like funny kind of post, you know, because it's true
when me and my husband when we go on vacation,
that's our number one rule is we are not eating
at any place that we can eat back at home
in New York. You know, we want to try all
new places. We want to try what's the best restaurant
(10:57):
there or something that's fitting of that culture that lives
in that area or that country. That's what we want
to do. We want to experience everything that we can
experience at home.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's our take on it too, is you know, me
and my mom, we love cheesecake Factory, we love Cracker Barrel,
and when we're traveling, yeah, we'll stop at a cracker Barrel.
But once we get to like our destination, we do
not go to like Applebee's or tgif we try not to,
(11:31):
you know, once in a while you have to, Like
the one day we had to go to Dairy Queen.
Oh it was terrible, but there was nothing else in
that area. It was really weird. But yeah, when you're
on vacation, why would you go to a tgif when
you have that here? Well, we don't have a here anymore.
(11:51):
But you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, well I go somewhere that you can go to
every day of the week at home, exactly. And that's
that's just our rule. And it's not like I didn't
think it was a serious thing. Like, but a few
people messaged me and they were I wouldn't say they
were nasty, but they were kind of like, well, will
we go on vacation. We don't care where we eat.
(12:12):
If we it's whatever we're craving that night. So if
we're craving olive garden, we're eating in olive garden. And
if we're craving burger king, we're going to burg king.
And that's what vacation's about, is just letting loose and
doing what you want. And I'm like, okay, I get it,
Like all right, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Another person wrote, like a friend of mine said, number
one rule on vacation is there are no rules. There's
no rules, so you do what you want. Like she
said that, and then another friend was like, well that's
kind of put putting yourself into a box on vacation, huh,
like making it about rules when you know it shouldn't be.
And I was just taken aback by, like wow, this
(12:48):
really hit hit some Uh, this really struck some nerves
in people, you know, like or hit I don't know,
Like I didn't expect that, so to me, like, yes, okay,
you're on vacasion, do what you want. But I but
why would you want to go to the same restaurant?
I don't, I guess, like in your situation Torona there's
(13:10):
no choice. Yes, But if I'm in Miami, I want
to experience Cuban food, like cute, like it's all Cuban
culture over there. I want to experience that. I want
to taste that. I want to I want to be
immersed in that, you know. And when we go to
like Minnesota, Ki, there's a lot of tiki bar and
fish spots. I don't like fish, but I want to
(13:31):
go to those beach bars where I'm trying their their
tropical tacos and all that like that. I want to
experience things. When we go to Mexico or the Dominican
or Puerto Rico or the Bahamas, I don't want to
eat on the resort. Yes we do here and there,
but I want to go out into the culture, into
the community and eat at a shack on the road
(13:53):
that serves us the culture's food, like homemade food. That's
why I travel, That's why we travel. What's the point
going to another country and eating American food? What's the point?
Then just stay in America and go to like, you know,
go to a beach in Jersey Shore, you know what
I mean. Like, for instance, my mother in law, whenever
we travel with her, any state Florida. Usually she wants
(14:18):
to go to cheesecake factory. And we have to go
to cheesecake factory, and you know, me and my husband
are like, we eat at cheesecake factory all the time
in New York. And her way of thinking is, yeah,
but I know I like it. She's a very picky eater,
and I'm thinking that's what the case may be for
a lot of people, is they're picky eaters. And like
she said, I know I'm going to enjoy a meal
(14:39):
at cheesecake factory because I know what I order, and
I know what I want, and I know what I
you know, usually get so on the trip at least
it's one meal that I know I'm going to enjoy.
And I'm like, Okay, I mean, but she's picky. So
I'm guessing maybe these other people might be picky and
that's how they think.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You know, Yeah, but I'm picky. I mean, I'm probably
way more prickier than her. And I want to go
to like local restaurants. Like when we went to Florida
with my aunt to see my aunt, we went to
all local restaurants.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We did have pizza hut once because I did not
want Florida pizza.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, I can understand.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That, but as far as like the rest of the
time we had, I don't even well. I think my
cousin cooked once or twice for us. But the rest
of the time, like we went to local restaurants and
we ate and we enjoyed.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It, and that's part of vacation, just trying it out.
And I actually someone just called me out on it.
I'm reading a new message I just got on my
post and a friend wrote, not that she called me out,
but it made me realize I am guilty of this.
A friend wrote. When I went to Spain with my husband,
there was a McDonald's there and we really really wanted
to try it, but we didn't. And then I was like, oh, shoot,
(15:59):
I am guilty of this because when we went to Italy,
you know, all the amazing food there. We were driving
through the country and we stopped at a rest stop
and there was a McDonald's and the rest stop and
I was just intrigued by, let me go look at
the menu because a McDonald's in Italy, Like, what the hell,
you know? And I went to the menu and it
(16:20):
was pretty much like eighty percent of it was different
than what we eat here.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh yeah, totally different, really different.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So we wanted to try it. It wasn't like our
meal of the day. But we're like, let's go get
some stuff off that cheap the cheap menu, like the
dollar menu, you know, and just try it out. Like
there was like chicken palm and we just for ha haas
we did it. So I guess I'm kind of guilty there,
but it was more curiosity to see how the McDonald's
food tasted in Italy, you know, like yeah, new things.
(16:46):
So I am a little guilty, but so my friend
she just reminded me of that. But yeah, I other
than that, no, like sorry, we're we're not going even
breakfast spots. A lot of people will go to Denny's
or something on vacation, like other than the waffle house.
I know people like to do that down the South,
down South.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
We did that once and it was absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It's very dirty. They're all dirty.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I don't know the person that sits you, I don't
know what you call them. Yeah, that lady. She was
the hostess, the cook, the waitress, and the person that
checked us out. She was everything and we sat. I
literally was like in the kitchen, like that's where the
(17:32):
seats were, so like you could see her cooking, and
I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
She gets a raise. Yeah, it was too Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You never know, I mean it was kind of cool
to see your food being made. But yeah, you know,
I just I felt like I was sitting in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Oh my yeah. So I like that's why I want
to know. I didn't expect that much feedback from that simple,
innocent post. But what do you guys think our listeners
when you go on vacation, is it it's kind of like,
let's stick to things that we know, or do you
say no, the rule is we're not eating any place
that we could eat. We're gonna eat, We're gonna try
(18:09):
new things. We're gonna immerse in the culture. We're gonna
immerse in this even if it's in Americas, like this
State's food. You know that they're known for. What what
do you guys do? Or am I just crazy and
boxing myself into rules on vacation?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
But I think you know, also when you think about
you post like an innocent post like yours, that's when
you get the most feedback.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I know, I know, like you know, I'm known to
post things that can irritate people. But the things that
I don't think are gonna irritate people, It's like, what
the heck?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I know, I posted something the other day and a
lot of people were like messaging me about it, and
you know, I don't know. It was just it was
just a post.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, Like I said, sometimes the innocent things like somebody's
gonna I've realized that in today's world, everyone takes offense
to everything, like every little thing, and it's just it.
You gotta take it with a grain of salt. I
roll my eyes, I answer back nicely. Okay, all right,
you know, do you feel better about yourself now? You
(19:16):
feel good? Okay? All right, you get it out, you
get it out, all right, you feel good? All right?
That's what I say.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I just don't understand why people can't just keep scrolling,
you know. I mean, we're both in the mom's groups,
and why can't people just keep scrolling?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
They can't. It's just getting worse and worse and worse.
And we were talking about it today with a friend.
Just people are cruel. People are They're so mean, They're mean.
They're like there's some do we all think certain things
about somebody? Yes, believe me, I've thought things that maybe
I shouldn't be thinking, like oh my god, you know,
(19:52):
but I would never ever comment something negative on someone's
post that was about them or you know some you know, yeah,
you're not he hurting anybody. I have educated people on
things that I felt maybe they didn't understand. But I've
never been nasty like a lot of these people are.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I was looking at one of these posts last night
and somebody had posted they got their nails done or something,
and no, she wanted to get her hair done and
she said, hey, guys, would I look good with this
hair color? And some girl just ripped her to pieces
and was like, you need a whole makeoverly like you're ugly,
(20:34):
blah blah blah. And I'm just like sitting here reading
these posts, these the comments going back and forth, back
and forth, and I'm like, just stop.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I'm like, yeah, does it make them feel good to
do that to people?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Does it? It must? It must make them feel good.
I don't understand why you would want to put down
somebody that bad.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I don't get it either. I think people say that
because they're uncomfortable in their own skin, so they want
to make somebody else feel uncomfortable so that they're not alone.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. I one hundred percent agree. That's how human human
nature is. And it's pretty ugly. And there's a quote
by Mike Tyson that explains it perfectly. Social media made
you all too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting
punched in the face for it. And ain't that the truth?
It is so true because I swear ninety nine percent
(21:26):
of this crap you would never say to somebody to
their face, the stuff that people comment. You would never
say that to someone's face.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
No. But like we've said in the past, keyboard warriors.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, keyboard warriors, you can hide behind a screen and
just feel comfortable doing that. Just like that person who
threatened to kill my kids on Instagram? Would he really
say that to me in person?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Would he come?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So it's it's created a hustle environment where people are
just like spewing hatred and evil and crap out their
fingers onto a keyboard, you know, and they don't they
don't care, They don't feel like there's any repercussions to that.
They don't have to face that person face the face.
If they did, they would get punched in the face
or they would it would probably end very badly for people.
(22:10):
So that's the parts of social media and the Internet
that I do not like.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
So totally off topic here, but I just have to
mention that I have aunts in my house.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yes, for how many years it's been Yeah, I know, sorry,
it's been never ending.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's every summer they come in and they're usually here
about two weeks. Well this year, with all the rain
that we've had in the storms and all that, they
just haven't gone and found another place to stay. So
they've been in my kitchen and in my bathroom. And
I've been trying like every spray. I mean I did
(22:51):
like the homemade sprays, the sprays from the store, and
it traps, you name it. I've done it and nothing
is working. It's called combat at two and one, I believe.
And we put it out and you actually noticed it
that within like an hour, the ants were all like
going to it. It was like they were just having
(23:13):
a party on this little thing. Yeah, and by the
next morning they were gone. I had none.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, it was crazy. I put it out and I
would say it was even less than an hour. It
was probably like thirty minutes I put it out there.
The ants were all over her, her windowsill, on the floor,
under the radiator, and I put one on the windowsill
and one on the floor and I watched and there
she had old ant bait traps there that from another company.
(23:39):
I'm not gonna name the company, but she had those
there and you hardly saw any ants ever going near them.
Maybe one or two.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, it's like they knew what it was.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah. And so then when I put these out, I
put it right next to it. So I didn't have
any high hopes because we've tried everything. And like I said,
within like thirty minutes, it was just like a field
party of ants in this thing. They were they couldn't
get to it fast enough, you.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Know, I know, it was like one little aunt told everybody, Hey, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Hey, here's the food. We got the good stove over here.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The floor one, the floor bait trap was full, and
the top one. And it just went on and on
all day. I kept checking on it, checking on it,
taking video and pictures, and I, you know, had to
leave and I said, you know, don't touch it, because
she was saying should we kill the ant set are there?
I said, no, no, no, they need to take it back.
So that's what they do. They eat the bait. It
(24:30):
doesn't kill them right away, it goes into them or
they carry it all the way back to their little
ant hill home. You know, they feed it to the queen.
They feed it in there for the babies, and then
when the queen eats it, she dies. The babies die.
They everyone who eats it dies. So you want that
bait to get into the ant hole on their tunnels,
you know, like where they live underground or wherever it is.
(24:53):
You don't want to kill them when they're eating it.
You want them to take it back, you know. You
boys in the whole colony. It's kind of sad, but they're.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well, it poisoned every colony that I have, because I
have none now.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Never have we experienced this with her aunts. So they
the next morning, like she said, there was none. There
was maybe one or two stragglers that were like they
look drunk on the thing, but they were gone, and
we it's been over a week now she hasn't had
any ants.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
That's crazy, I know, no, and I'm so excited that
I didn't have to call the exterminator. Yeah, because that's
just another bill on top of every other bill. So
I am glad that a I think it was like
six or seven dollars for the thing and it worked.
I have a link up on our website. I even
(25:40):
posted a review. That's how much I like this thing.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, it was great. I now that's what I'm gonna
not that I've had any issues, but if I do, well,
that's what I'm gonna recommend.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, well, Prime Week is this week and they
are on sale, so it's good. Go to our website
Shawnaanlala dot com. Click on my combat at review. You
could see the video that we made and uh, purchase
your own. You don't need it today, but you might
need it down the line.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
How's your literal robot going?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I love the two. When I got to your house,
that was I was kind of shocked. I was shocked
at how well it worked.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, you have one too, Yeah, and my mom has one,
and my mom likes mine better than hers.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Why.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
She said that it's easier set up, like the tray
is easier to take out and clean mine. It alerts
me when the cats use it. When it cleans, it
tells me who used it based on their weight. So
they have an app and you type in the app
each you know the cat's name, cat's weight, and it
(26:50):
tells you who used the cat little box one.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That's so cool and I love that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Part because the vet is always saying, you know, are
they peeing okay? Are they pooping okay?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
And and I'm like, I don't know, you know, with
three cats, who's using the litter box?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
But yeah you do, but now I do, and I
will say so to do the review, I set up
a little camera. I set up our Vivent camera in
my bathroom facing the cat litter box and Leo he
was the only one that used it for like the
last three or four days. And every time he would
(27:25):
use it, he'd go and like look at the camera
and like go up and like stare at it and
then use it use the car watch. I was cracking up.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's like they know they do, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He doesn't understand that it cleans itself because he still
scratches to like cover everything.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, And it's just funny.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And then you know he hears it going and he
comes back in and you see him looking at it,
looking at it, like and he's just watching it because
it spins and like the cat litter, you know, it
empties and then fills back up. And he was just
amazed by it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, it's like he's like, what's it doing? Like poop?
Where's it going? Yeah, it disappears into a little hole.
Oh my god. No, it's cool. I have the older version.
So that's why I wanted to know how this woman
was working for you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I absolutely love it. It is expensive. I did post
the review on Facebook and you know, our website and
all that, a lot of people want to purchase it.
But it is expensive. However, it is worth every single
penny because it's not like you need to get a
new one every year, you know, for every two years.
You don't need to do that, Like my mom doesn't
(28:39):
have to replace hers.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, no, it lasts so made to last.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, this is just the upgraded version and it's amazing.
I absolutely love it. Leo loves it.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And it's easy for you to take care of. Like,
you know, Seana has a physical disability and this is
something that she can take care of herself. Yeah, I
don't eat help scooping and that itself is amazing.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, it's definitely disability friendly and a lot of my
disabled friends, you know, they want it, they just can't
afford it, which is sad. But Prime Week is here
and you never know, they may have a sale, so
check it out. It is disability friendly and we definitely approve.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It has been a hell of a week here. We've
had storm after storm. We had a really nice weekend though,
but we're back to having storms again.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah. It's like, well, I lost power multiple times in
one night. It was it was on, it was off
and off. I'm like, what is going on? The rain,
the winds, they were whipping around like the weather's going crazy.
And I have to say and like, you know, guys,
is my little tinfoil hat on? But I you know,
(01:02):
I want to say this because I kind of feel good.
I feel a little better about my craziness. I've been
was driving to work today and I saw like all
the chemtrails in the sky, and Shanna, you know me,
I have how many years have I been talking about chemtrails?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I also knew about that.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, but I'm saying I'm always vocal about it, you know.
Oh yeah, yeah, very vocal. And I when I was
a little girl, my father as a little girl, this
is back. I'm talking in the nineties. My father would
talk to me about chemtrails and show me them in
the sky and saying, see, those are man made, those
are chemicals. They're manipulating the weather and they're spraying this
to protect us from the sun. And like I was like, oh, yeah, cool.
(01:39):
And I'd go to school and tell my teacher, my
earth science teacher or what and my teachers would be like, no, no,
that's not real. Where are you hearing this from, you know?
And I'm like, my dad told me, you know. And
my dad had learned it from a friend that was
in the military back in the seventies who told him
that the government was spraying the skies and people thought
I was crazy. My friend thought I was crazy. Some
(02:01):
family though, and I'd always talk about it and I'm like,
I'm no, I believe it. My dad told me. He
was showing me articles. And so yesterday I was watching
the news and all news stations are talking about cloud
seating and weather manipulation, that it's real, and like they're
saying it. They're not like saying everyone was right. They're
(02:21):
actually bringing up like nonchalantly like they've always known it,
you know, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, which
I hate that. I hate that shit. So I just
felt a little I felt a little good because I'm like,
all right, I'm not that crazy. I was right all along.
But anyway, yeah, like with the storms today, I was
driving and Jeline is the one who pointed it out.
(02:41):
She's like, Mommy, what's what's the lines in the sky?
And I looked up and I'm like, oh, I'm like,
she's not gonna understand. I'm like, yeah, there was a
chemtrail's baby, they're not real clouds. She you know, she
didn't understand.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But yeah, we're.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Gonna get bad storms now this week.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So and I always was told that they came from planes.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yes, it is planes, but it's not there. If you
look at a regular commercial liner up there, it's vapor, yes,
like steam comes out, it dissipates right away. You ever
look at a big plane in the sky, do you
see trails for sitting in the snow twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, because they go what it goes away because.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's not chemicals. When you see the plane spraying and
it stays for fifteen twenty minutes. That is chemicals. They're
spraying aluminum and a few other different chemicals. It's called
cloud seating, and they're spraying these chemicals into the clouds,
into the sky and it helps to make rain. And
they do this in Dubai. It's like a desert. They
don't have a lot of water. So it is a
(03:37):
real thing. But I don't know why people try to
pretend like it's not and they try to pretend like
you can't mess with the weather, because we can. We
have the technology. We've been doing it since I think Vietnam.
I think that was the first war. So it just
I felt it felt nice, like a pet that heard
it on all news stations, not just right or left,
Like it was all new stations talking about cloud seating.
(04:00):
But they were saying nonchalantly, like as if it was
a normal thing. I'm like, what last year, you guys
were calling us crazy. You know. Yeah, so I had
I took pictures this morning off the show them. But yeah,
I wish I got Julia saying, Mommy, what's the lines
in the sky? You know? But yeah, so this week
should be rainy, stormy, and hopefully we don't get any
(04:20):
flash floods. Because what's going on in Texas right now
is absolutely heartbreaking. Like I'm gonna start crying talking about
it because I told Sean, I said, I can't, I
can't even watch it anymore. Me and this other mom
were talking and as mothers, I was watching these parents
just sobbing, like there their children are missing, still many missing.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
They're found dead holding hands. Yes, three little sisters, three
girls were found dead holding hands, holding each other tight.
It's heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. And I actually my dad was
over in Currville. You spent a few months there, and
I went to visit him, and that's where we stayed,
(05:03):
was between Hunt, Texas and Cerville, and it's very like
a desolate area. There's not much. They call it hill country,
and it is like you think we're rural and in
the country, like that is in the country.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Really.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah. I remember asking somebody that my dad was working with,
so what is there to do like at night, and
the guy was like, you could either go to Walmart
or you can go to the movie theater. And I said, well,
I'm not a big movie person. He said, or you
could drive like an hour to like stan Antonio, and
I'm like, no, I just want to stay like around here,
(05:39):
like what is there to do? And he's like really,
he's like Walmart. So we went to Walmart every single
day like it was. It was crazy, and I will
say it is the cleanest Walmart I've ever seen. And
at first I thought like we were gonna get murdered
because everybody had gunn something.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, it's safer, safer because of that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And then I felt safe. My dad explained to me, like,
they're not here to shoot the place up there. You
know you're allowed to carry.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, yeah, No, it is a little it's always nerve
wracking whenever you see a gun. And I'm a big,
you know, gun person, we go shooting. My husband's a cop,
but yeah, it is always it's nerve wracking, especially from
people from New York. To go to a location where
you see it out in the open on everyone's hip,
You're like, what the heck?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah that was me When I first I was like, Mo,
that guy's got it gone, Dad, that guy's gotta gone.
And my Dad's like yeah, and I'm like, is he
going to shoot the place up? And maybe we shouldn't
go in there. And my dad's like, no guns are
legal here.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I love Texas. I've only went once, but like I
had the same experience as you as everything was clean,
people were very polite, respectful, everyone looked out for each other,
you know what I mean. We drove out into the
country to go horseback riding, like a country part of it,
and yeah, it was very desolate. I don't know where
we went, but it was very desolate.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Might have been Curville maybe like that area.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Maybe. Yeah, we went horseback riding through these it was
it was really nice. But yeah, like it's a different
world out there and I like it. We've actually thought
about moving there because it just the people and the
just the respect, the cleanliness on most of the places
we went to. But to see it now after these
floods and the utter, the heartbreak, the destruction, the loss,
(07:26):
the and then the parents right now that I was
watching this one dad he was ripping through debris around
the camp just I think yesterday, just for some remnants
of his daughter. He still hasn't found her. I I'm
getting really upset talking about it, and like that's I
had to stop. I had to stop. As this world
there's so much going on that like you need to
(07:47):
take a break from it, you know. And I had
to kind of shut down because, like I was crying
in the morning and it was ruining my day thinking
about these children and parents. And it's not that I
don't sympathize with them, it's not that I don't want
to do something for them, but I emotionally and mentally
can't handle it too much, you know what I mean.
It gets to be a lot, and I know that
they're going through worse than I am. And that sounds selfish.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I mean, I can't even imagine sending your child was
it all girl?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is it all girls camp camp?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So you're sending your daughter to camp, this beautiful, gorgeous
camp for the summer, and then like having a storm
and calling you and saying your child was missing.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Wiped a white gone. You know. I couldn't. I couldn't.
That's what's making me so sick as a mother. It
just hits you differently, you know. And we want, we
definitely want to see what we can do to donate,
just like we donated to the North Carolina floods. We
donate a lot of food and supply, so we definitely
want to do the same thing and see where we
can help any way possible, you know, and even just
(08:48):
sharing posts about the little girls that are missing or
the people that are missing, because there's other people that
were effectively just not just the camp but sharing those
so God forbid, you know, I don't know there once,
you want to give these people hope. You want to
give the parents hope, and that's their hope. Those posts
are their hope, like hope that they're going to find
their child, hope that their child is going to be okay.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And whoever would have thought though that that would have happened.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't know. Well lately that's that seems to be.
That seems to be what we're all saying. Who would
have thought that would happen North Carolina? Who would have
thought that would have happened? That would have should have
never happened, never the mountains, in the mountains. No, So
I think that's going to be just a very common
question then, hopefully not for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But you know, like, well, you're going to Florida next
week or the following week.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Next weekend, I'll be in Florida.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So hopefully there's no hurricanes for you.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh, I know, I know, I hopefully you know it's July.
I'm cotting it close because they usually hit around August.
But let's pray because the area I'm going to was
completely demolished last year. Those two hurricanes hit this area
back to back and wiped it all out, like the
roads were gone. They finally built it up, so I'm
(10:09):
excited to see what they fixed. I know they're saying
some parts of this area it's like Minnesota, Key and Florida.
Some parts of this area are still destroyed. But let's
hope not right. And speaking of vacation, I did you
see my posts I put up, and it was like,
(10:30):
our number one rule when we go on vacation is
to never eat at a spot we could eat at
at home.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, So I thought that was like a simple, innocent,
like funny kind of post, you know, because it's true
when me and my husband when we go on vacation,
that's our number one rule is we are not eating
at any place that we can eat back at home
in New York. You know, we want to try all
new places. We want to try what's the best restaurant
(10:57):
there or something that's fitting of that culture that lives
in that area or that country. That's what we want
to do. We want to experience everything that we can
experience at home.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's our take on it too, is you know, me
and my mom, we love cheesecake Factory, we love Cracker Barrel,
and when we're traveling, yeah, we'll stop at a cracker Barrel.
But once we get to like our destination, we do
not go to like Applebee's or tgif we try not to,
(11:31):
you know, once in a while you have to, Like
the one day we had to go to Dairy Queen.
Oh it was terrible, but there was nothing else in
that area. It was really weird. But yeah, when you're
on vacation, why would you go to a tgif when
you have that here? Well, we don't have a here anymore.
(11:51):
But you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, well I go somewhere that you can go to
every day of the week at home, exactly. And that's
that's just our rule. And it's not like I didn't
think it was a serious thing. Like, but a few
people messaged me and they were I wouldn't say they
were nasty, but they were kind of like, well, will
we go on vacation. We don't care where we eat.
(12:12):
If we it's whatever we're craving that night. So if
we're craving olive garden, we're eating in olive garden. And
if we're craving burger king, we're going to burg king.
And that's what vacation's about, is just letting loose and
doing what you want. And I'm like, okay, I get it,
Like all right, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Another person wrote, like a friend of mine said, number
one rule on vacation is there are no rules. There's
no rules, so you do what you want. Like she
said that, and then another friend was like, well that's
kind of put putting yourself into a box on vacation, huh,
like making it about rules when you know it shouldn't be.
And I was just taken aback by, like wow, this
(12:48):
really hit hit some Uh, this really struck some nerves
in people, you know, like or hit I don't know,
Like I didn't expect that, so to me, like, yes, okay,
you're on vacasion, do what you want. But I but
why would you want to go to the same restaurant?
I don't, I guess, like in your situation Torona there's
(13:10):
no choice. Yes, But if I'm in Miami, I want
to experience Cuban food, like cute, like it's all Cuban
culture over there. I want to experience that. I want
to taste that. I want to I want to be
immersed in that, you know. And when we go to
like Minnesota, Ki, there's a lot of tiki bar and
fish spots. I don't like fish, but I want to
(13:31):
go to those beach bars where I'm trying their their
tropical tacos and all that like that. I want to
experience things. When we go to Mexico or the Dominican
or Puerto Rico or the Bahamas, I don't want to
eat on the resort. Yes we do here and there,
but I want to go out into the culture, into
the community and eat at a shack on the road
(13:53):
that serves us the culture's food, like homemade food. That's
why I travel, That's why we travel. What's the point
going to another country and eating American food? What's the point?
Then just stay in America and go to like, you know,
go to a beach in Jersey Shore, you know what
I mean. Like, for instance, my mother in law, whenever
we travel with her, any state Florida. Usually she wants
(14:18):
to go to cheesecake factory. And we have to go
to cheesecake factory, and you know, me and my husband
are like, we eat at cheesecake factory all the time
in New York. And her way of thinking is, yeah,
but I know I like it. She's a very picky eater,
and I'm thinking that's what the case may be for
a lot of people, is they're picky eaters. And like
she said, I know I'm going to enjoy a meal
(14:39):
at cheesecake factory because I know what I order, and
I know what I want, and I know what I
you know, usually get so on the trip at least
it's one meal that I know I'm going to enjoy.
And I'm like, Okay, I mean, but she's picky. So
I'm guessing maybe these other people might be picky and
that's how they think.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You know, Yeah, but I'm picky. I mean, I'm probably
way more prickier than her. And I want to go
to like local restaurants. Like when we went to Florida
with my aunt to see my aunt, we went to
all local restaurants.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We did have pizza hut once because I did not
want Florida pizza.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, I can understand.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
That, but as far as like the rest of the
time we had, I don't even well. I think my
cousin cooked once or twice for us. But the rest
of the time, like we went to local restaurants and
we ate and we enjoyed.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It, and that's part of vacation, just trying it out.
And I actually someone just called me out on it.
I'm reading a new message I just got on my
post and a friend wrote, not that she called me out,
but it made me realize I am guilty of this.
A friend wrote. When I went to Spain with my husband,
there was a McDonald's there and we really really wanted
to try it, but we didn't. And then I was like, oh, shoot,
(15:59):
I am guilty of this because when we went to Italy,
you know, all the amazing food there. We were driving
through the country and we stopped at a rest stop
and there was a McDonald's and the rest stop and
I was just intrigued by, let me go look at
the menu because a McDonald's in Italy, Like, what the hell,
you know? And I went to the menu and it
(16:20):
was pretty much like eighty percent of it was different
than what we eat here.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Oh yeah, totally different, really different.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So we wanted to try it. It wasn't like our
meal of the day. But we're like, let's go get
some stuff off that cheap the cheap menu, like the
dollar menu, you know, and just try it out. Like
there was like chicken palm and we just for ha haas
we did it. So I guess I'm kind of guilty there,
but it was more curiosity to see how the McDonald's
food tasted in Italy, you know, like yeah, new things.
(16:46):
So I am a little guilty, but so my friend
she just reminded me of that. But yeah, I other
than that, no, like sorry, we're we're not going even
breakfast spots. A lot of people will go to Denny's
or something on vacation, like other than the waffle house.
I know people like to do that down the South,
down South.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
We did that once and it was absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It's very dirty. They're all dirty.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I don't know the person that sits you, I don't
know what you call them. Yeah, that lady. She was
the hostess, the cook, the waitress, and the person that
checked us out. She was everything and we sat. I
literally was like in the kitchen, like that's where the
(17:32):
seats were, so like you could see her cooking, and
I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
She gets a raise. Yeah, it was too Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You never know, I mean it was kind of cool
to see your food being made. But yeah, you know,
I just I felt like I was sitting in the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Oh my yeah. So I like that's why I want
to know. I didn't expect that much feedback from that simple,
innocent post. But what do you guys think our listeners
when you go on vacation, is it it's kind of like,
let's stick to things that we know, or do you
say no, the rule is we're not eating any place
that we could eat. We're gonna eat, We're gonna try
(18:09):
new things. We're gonna immerse in the culture. We're gonna
immerse in this even if it's in Americas, like this
State's food. You know that they're known for. What what
do you guys do? Or am I just crazy and
boxing myself into rules on vacation?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
But I think you know, also when you think about
you post like an innocent post like yours, that's when
you get the most feedback.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I know, I know, like you know, I'm known to
post things that can irritate people. But the things that
I don't think are gonna irritate people, It's like, what
the heck?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I know, I posted something the other day and a
lot of people were like messaging me about it, and
you know, I don't know. It was just it was
just a post.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, Like I said, sometimes the innocent things like somebody's
gonna I've realized that in today's world, everyone takes offense
to everything, like every little thing, and it's just it.
You gotta take it with a grain of salt. I
roll my eyes, I answer back nicely. Okay, all right,
you know, do you feel better about yourself now? You
(19:16):
feel good? Okay? All right, you get it out, you
get it out, all right, you feel good? All right?
That's what I say.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I just don't understand why people can't just keep scrolling,
you know. I mean, we're both in the mom's groups,
and why can't people just keep scrolling?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
They can't. It's just getting worse and worse and worse.
And we were talking about it today with a friend.
Just people are cruel. People are They're so mean, They're mean.
They're like there's some do we all think certain things
about somebody? Yes, believe me, I've thought things that maybe
I shouldn't be thinking, like oh my god, you know,
(19:52):
but I would never ever comment something negative on someone's
post that was about them or you know some you know, yeah,
you're not he hurting anybody. I have educated people on
things that I felt maybe they didn't understand. But I've
never been nasty like a lot of these people are.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I was looking at one of these posts last night
and somebody had posted they got their nails done or something,
and no, she wanted to get her hair done and
she said, hey, guys, would I look good with this
hair color? And some girl just ripped her to pieces
and was like, you need a whole makeoverly like you're ugly,
(20:34):
blah blah blah. And I'm just like sitting here reading
these posts, these the comments going back and forth, back
and forth, and I'm like, just stop.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I'm like, yeah, does it make them feel good to
do that to people?
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Like?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Does it? It must? It must make them feel good.
I don't understand why you would want to put down
somebody that bad.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I don't get it either. I think people say that
because they're uncomfortable in their own skin, so they want
to make somebody else feel uncomfortable so that they're not alone.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. I one hundred percent agree. That's how human human
nature is. And it's pretty ugly. And there's a quote
by Mike Tyson that explains it perfectly. Social media made
you all too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting
punched in the face for it. And ain't that the truth?
It is so true because I swear ninety nine percent
(21:26):
of this crap you would never say to somebody to
their face, the stuff that people comment. You would never
say that to someone's face.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
No. But like we've said in the past, keyboard warriors.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, keyboard warriors, you can hide behind a screen and
just feel comfortable doing that. Just like that person who
threatened to kill my kids on Instagram? Would he really
say that to me in person?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Would he come?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So it's it's created a hustle environment where people are
just like spewing hatred and evil and crap out their
fingers onto a keyboard, you know, and they don't they
don't care, They don't feel like there's any repercussions to that.
They don't have to face that person face the face.
If they did, they would get punched in the face
or they would it would probably end very badly for people.
(22:10):
So that's the parts of social media and the Internet
that I do not like.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
So totally off topic here, but I just have to
mention that I have aunts in my house.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yes, for how many years it's been Yeah, I know, sorry,
it's been never ending.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's every summer they come in and they're usually here
about two weeks. Well this year, with all the rain
that we've had in the storms and all that, they
just haven't gone and found another place to stay. So
they've been in my kitchen and in my bathroom. And
I've been trying like every spray. I mean I did
(22:51):
like the homemade sprays, the sprays from the store, and
it traps, you name it. I've done it and nothing
is working. It's called combat at two and one, I believe.
And we put it out and you actually noticed it
that within like an hour, the ants were all like
going to it. It was like they were just having
(23:13):
a party on this little thing. Yeah, and by the
next morning they were gone. I had none.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, it was crazy. I put it out and I
would say it was even less than an hour. It
was probably like thirty minutes I put it out there.
The ants were all over her, her windowsill, on the floor,
under the radiator, and I put one on the windowsill
and one on the floor and I watched and there
she had old ant bait traps there that from another company.
(23:39):
I'm not gonna name the company, but she had those
there and you hardly saw any ants ever going near them.
Maybe one or two.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, it's like they knew what it was.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah. And so then when I put these out, I
put it right next to it. So I didn't have
any high hopes because we've tried everything. And like I said,
within like thirty minutes, it was just like a field
party of ants in this thing. They were they couldn't
get to it fast enough, you.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Know, I know, it was like one little aunt told everybody, Hey, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Hey, here's the food. We got the good stove over here.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The floor one, the floor bait trap was full, and
the top one. And it just went on and on
all day. I kept checking on it, checking on it,
taking video and pictures, and I, you know, had to
leave and I said, you know, don't touch it, because
she was saying should we kill the ant set are there?
I said, no, no, no, they need to take it back.
So that's what they do. They eat the bait. It
(24:30):
doesn't kill them right away, it goes into them or
they carry it all the way back to their little
ant hill home. You know, they feed it to the queen.
They feed it in there for the babies, and then
when the queen eats it, she dies. The babies die.
They everyone who eats it dies. So you want that
bait to get into the ant hole on their tunnels,
you know, like where they live underground or wherever it is.
(24:53):
You don't want to kill them when they're eating it.
You want them to take it back, you know. You
boys in the whole colony. It's kind of sad, but they're.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well, it poisoned every colony that I have, because I
have none now.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Never have we experienced this with her aunts. So they
the next morning, like she said, there was none. There
was maybe one or two stragglers that were like they
look drunk on the thing, but they were gone, and
we it's been over a week now she hasn't had
any ants.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
That's crazy, I know, no, and I'm so excited that
I didn't have to call the exterminator. Yeah, because that's
just another bill on top of every other bill. So
I am glad that a I think it was like
six or seven dollars for the thing and it worked.
I have a link up on our website. I even
(25:40):
posted a review. That's how much I like this thing.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, it was great. I now that's what I'm gonna
not that I've had any issues, but if I do, well,
that's what I'm gonna recommend.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You know, well, Prime Week is this week and they
are on sale, so it's good. Go to our website
Shawnaanlala dot com. Click on my combat at review. You
could see the video that we made and uh, purchase
your own. You don't need it today, but you might
need it down the line.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
How's your literal robot going?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I love the two. When I got to your house,
that was I was kind of shocked. I was shocked
at how well it worked.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, you have one too, Yeah, and my mom has one,
and my mom likes mine better than hers.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Why.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
She said that it's easier set up, like the tray
is easier to take out and clean mine. It alerts
me when the cats use it. When it cleans, it
tells me who used it based on their weight. So
they have an app and you type in the app
each you know the cat's name, cat's weight, and it
(26:50):
tells you who used the cat little box one.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That's so cool and I love that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Part because the vet is always saying, you know, are
they peeing okay? Are they pooping okay?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
And and I'm like, I don't know, you know, with
three cats, who's using the litter box?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
But yeah you do, but now I do, and I
will say so to do the review, I set up
a little camera. I set up our Vivent camera in
my bathroom facing the cat litter box and Leo he
was the only one that used it for like the
last three or four days. And every time he would
(27:25):
use it, he'd go and like look at the camera
and like go up and like stare at it and
then use it use the car watch. I was cracking up.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's like they know they do, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
He doesn't understand that it cleans itself because he still
scratches to like cover everything.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, And it's just funny.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And then you know he hears it going and he
comes back in and you see him looking at it,
looking at it, like and he's just watching it because
it spins and like the cat litter, you know, it
empties and then fills back up. And he was just
amazed by it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, it's like he's like, what's it doing? Like poop?
Where's it going? Yeah, it disappears into a little hole.
Oh my god. No, it's cool. I have the older version.
So that's why I wanted to know how this woman
was working for you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I absolutely love it. It is expensive. I did post
the review on Facebook and you know, our website and
all that, a lot of people want to purchase it.
But it is expensive. However, it is worth every single
penny because it's not like you need to get a
new one every year, you know, for every two years.
You don't need to do that, Like my mom doesn't
(28:39):
have to replace hers.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, no, it lasts so made to last.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, this is just the upgraded version and it's amazing.
I absolutely love it. Leo loves it.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
And it's easy for you to take care of. Like,
you know, Seana has a physical disability and this is
something that she can take care of herself. Yeah, I
don't eat help scooping and that itself is amazing.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, it's definitely disability friendly and a lot of my
disabled friends, you know, they want it, they just can't
afford it, which is sad. But Prime Week is here
and you never know, they may have a sale, so
check it out. It is disability friendly and we definitely approve.
