Amy talks to Haley about a recent terrorization at her home by teenagers in her neighborhood. They had shirts covering their faces in an effort to remain anonymous, but they messed with the wrong house because Haley is an enneagram 8. She was not going to let this go until she tracked down who these kids were. She called 911, talked to the police & put a campaign up on her social media. In a few short hours she had them identified....don't mess with Haley (or her husband, as he is a lawyer!) These teens probably think they're partaking in something innocent & funny, but their behavior is not okay! Parents: we need to make sure we're talking to our kids about the dangers of these types of "pranks" (someone could get shot...seriously!)
Other things discussed:
- Acceptable pranks (what happened to simply toilet papering houses?)
- One bad decision could change your life
- Ghostbusters

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Cass up road thing, little food for you sol life.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, it's pretty beautiful thing beautiful for that for a
little more facing said, he can your.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Kicking with full thing.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
With Amy Brown, Happy Thursday, four things, Amy here and
Hailey Dollar she is here too. And let me tell y'all,
Hailey is an eight on the Enneagram and she is
fired up. If you follow her on social media, then
you already know that teenagers terrorized her home and she
is not letting it go at all whatsoever, and you shouldn't.
(00:55):
What they did was traumatic and unacceptable. I do understand
the teenage brain, and I know that at times when
we were kids, we would run up and ring a
doorbell or knock once and then run away and think
it was funny. And this was far more than that.
So I'll have Haley walk us through. Do you have
any of the saved in highlights or how if people
(01:17):
go to at Haley Dollar hide is there?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My lawyer husband made me take it off my highlights
for the time being, but I will add it back
one day.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Okay, it's under investigator.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Because by the time this episode comes out, some of
the good stuff is going to be gone. Which we
want to be careful in how you're saying it because
we're not trying to talk about exactly who it is,
although Haley has figured that out for sure. And it
also shows the power of social media and you know,
pulling your followers, which some of them live here, and
(01:48):
then some of the teenagers ended up curious because you're
talking about them, so they started following you, like it
really is bonkers. And I told Haley, you know, she's
giving me the latest update, and my brain Haley always
goes to retaliation.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But you know, they would want to come after me.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So like if I were to be as public as
your being and like handling the way you are, which
I'm very proud of you, it's awesome, I would be scared, like, oh,
they're going to come back and do more to me
because I'm doing this. So I am glad you don't
have that fear. Well, that's the thing. I already feel
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Okay, So it's like if I already feel like that,
I'm going to feel like that either way, So I'm
going to do what I can to attempt to stop it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, as a mom, with what you're about to share,
it is a reminder to me to sit my kids
down and say, hey, if if you're ever with a
group or this is your idea and y'all are thinking
you want to do this, please think again. This is
not something that is a prank or is funny. Because
you were saying you're a prankster, you're fun like I am.
(02:54):
You can do that sort of thing. But what these
kids did, and we should go ahead and just walk
through that story first, and then we can talk about
what are acceptable breaks and you know, how can you
have fun in that way? But I'm just gonna have
a talk with my kids to make sure that I
know I did my part to try to prevent them
from ever doing anything like this to traumatize a family.
(03:16):
And I know you're gonna talk about your girls, and
thankfully they were asleep, and I can't imagine if they weren't,
but I do worry about, yeah, your feelings and your
ability to sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, So Saturday night we were laying on the couch. Honestly,
the part that kind of stinks the most about it,
it was a wonderful night. My kids went to bed early.
John and I had the fire on. It was like
just a good night. We were like cuted on the
couch watching a movie nine thirty, and there was like
(03:46):
a million thoughts that came through our heads in a
matter of twenty five seconds. First it was, are my
kids sleepwalking? Falling down the stairs? Is that thunder? Is
a car driving through my front door? Is the ceiling
falling in? Was so loud?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Y'all?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So what we found out later was there was five
to six young men with their faces covered, beating on
every window in the front of my house. And I
know this because of the ring cam, but at first
it just sounded like somebody was beating on the door,
very loud, but like it was like coming from all
these angles. So we just we didn't realize it was
(04:22):
the windows yet. Does that make sense totally? Yeah, until
I get how you could see it. Once you see
it on the ring cam, you get what it is.
And yeah, their faces being covered, that's the scary. That's
the next level to me when you look at it
the video and the off Yeah, yeah, they're strong. And
then their faces are totally covered with like shirts wrapped
(04:43):
around their head and one guy has something on his
face with his eyes cut out, and it's just like
y'all know. I mean, if you've listened to me on
here at all or follow me, you know I'm into
true crime. So sometimes I can like kind of freak
myself out.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So well, which is why you have all these security
Oh yeah, I'm not getting ready. Just note to yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I've got about twelve security cameras on every single angle
of my house.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So and that's because of the Idaho murders.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yes, immediately John opens the door once we realize somebody's
beating at the door and they're gone, and so we
come back in and shut the door and I'm like, John,
what was that?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And I call nine to one one and we tell
them to get here.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And while we're on the phone in that one one,
John's pulling up the ring cam and we see their
faces covered and we're like, oh my God, like you've
got to get here, please get here. And it's like
you can kind of hear it in their voices. They're
not concerned. I think they think it's a prank, but
it we're traumatized. And I've had several people on Instagram
reach out to me and say like, oh, this happened
(05:43):
to me.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The people that this has happened to. They know with
the fear of what it sounds like inside your house.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There have been a few people that this has never
happened to, and or they have teenage boys. They're the
ones that are like, oh, it's just a prank. I'm like, no,
it's not a prank. I refused to like play into that.
So we're on the phone with that one one. It's
taken a little while. It's been about eight minutes. We're
in my bedroom and I have plantation shutters and they're cracked.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A little bit in the light's room.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
These guys are watching me from outside of my window,
and they get on all my windows surrounding my bedroom
and they start doing it there.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And that is when it went fight or flight.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It went from I maybe could have gotten over it to.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You're terrorizing me.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Now you are trying to scare me in my own home,
and I don't know if you're trying to break in
or out like at this point, like all bets.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Are off, Well, you didn't know they were teenagers?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No at that point, And I will say, parents, something
to keep in mind for your kids or if you're
anytime you're making a decision like that to just go
on somebody else's property and behave in that way.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
There is one.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I mean we see it on the news all the time,
like you're one hundred percent putting yourself at risk to
potentially getting one hundred percent and armed shot whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's the most violating, horrible feeling a person can feel
to not feel safe in your own home. And I
know that sounds extreme, but like when you feel like
people are staring at you and harassing you from the
outside of your safe environment, it's horrible. It is horrible.
So I'm on the phone with the dispatcher like they're.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Back, They're back.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I run to the stairs to like protect it because
my kids are asleep upstairs. My husband goes outside, he
starts chasing them, the police get there. Long story long.
I start talking about it on Instagram, and I knew
the internet would do what it does best. And these kids.
At about one thirty yesterday, about one hundred kids started
(07:45):
following me from the high school and ninety percent of
my followers are women. So when these adult women, yeah, yeah,
adult women, John was like, well, they're really in for
some country women, and I mean country music and recipes,
but okay, yeah, they start following me, and a lot
of them start messaging me saying, we think we know
(08:06):
your guy, but.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's not that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
They're like framing a guy, and then they start voting
on all my polls. But they underestimate the power of
a crazy woman, you know, like you know, like we
can all stalk, Like you give me somebody's name, I
can find out everything about him. I mean, within I
don't know, three hours, we found out the kid his address,
(08:29):
well one of the main kids, yeah, the main kid,
his hobbies, where he goes to summer camp, all of it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Because he wore this shirt and this is like.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What is really a blessing the shirt wrapped around his head,
the shirt wrapped around his head that was inside out
covering his face. It wasn't like a Nike shirt or
Adidas or just like this generic shirt. It was a
very specific shirt to a very specific camp from a
whole nother state that.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Just this kid goes to, right, Which that's how you
subtly sent a message that you knew who he was.
If one of the hundred new teens from the high
school that are now following you were him. There's a
song that goes along with the place where it was,
and you put up the picture of him from that
ring cam with the shirt on, and then you attached
(09:20):
the song to play along with the story.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And that was I'm pretty pad amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I mean they're fast kids, they're athletes, they've got a
lot to lose. I don't think kids understand that, Like,
these are criminal charges. Trespassing is a criminal offense. Harassing people.
You know, when you come to someone's house and you
leave and you come back. Now we've entered to harassment.
Say the police are like, oh, we can't catch them. Well,
let me tell you what you can do.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Legally.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I could follow a lawsuit against John Doe one two, three, four,
five six, and that gives me the right to subpoena
anyone and they have to come in for a deposition
and under oath answer any question we ask them. These
are things kids don't think about. And like, you know,
my neighborhood has I can think of right now at
least seven families whose children were at Covenant during the
(10:10):
school shooting. That's not funny to me, you know what
I'm saying. Like you think of a child that experienced
like triggering.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Sounds like that, you know what I'm saying it was
that loud amy.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It wasn't like yeah yeah, because you can't identify, No,
they don't know, you don't know or people that don't have.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Ring cams and hear it and can't see like maybe
that was a kid or.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And I know that's not they're not thinking, oh, there's
no but they name is in these this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh I know, And.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That that's where my Enneagram eight comes through because my
next door neighbor they've terrorized them for the last two
years and they're very peacemaker people.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You know, it's the same people. M h Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
They broke my neighbor's screen door last year from body
slamming into it.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Why are they into this?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I wonder for so long, like I would think maybe
it was a Saturday night one time prank, but this
is like their thing.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I've had multiple people on Instagram in this area of
reach out to me and say, oh, this has happened
to me before. So what I have gathered from these
kids instagrams they're adrenaline junkies and because of their sport,
they're athletes and their particular sport, they're very fast, they're
very fast amy, Like I'm talking like national state recognition
(11:27):
fast athletes. Okay, so they know they can outrun, and
now I know their path. So what they're doing is
is they're running a certain way and making it look
like they're going to one way, and that's where the
police are going. But this kid lives like in the
woods in a whole different direction that you're not really
(11:48):
from the bird's eye, you can see it's very close
to my eye. Does that make I mean to my house?
You can see, but like it doesn't seem very close
to my house. And they're running so fast through the
word and so like they're back in their bedroom play
an Xbox while the cops are in the woods with
the flashlights. But guess what, I've got their number now
and I will not let this go, Like they knocked
(12:11):
on the wrong door. I was telling my therapist today,
the thing about me and the thing about enneagram Ates
is when you do something to me, it's bad, but
like if you do something to someone else, it's just
as bad for me. Like injustice is a very physical
emotion for me. Like I stay awake thinking about if
they knocked on one of those Covenant kids' houses.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I stay awake thinking about if your.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Kids were up, if my kids were up, also your
husband was, I mean he running after them?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, it was pretty bad. He's now at risk.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And you look at somebody, what if they were like
a soldier that had PTSD. That now puts the person
who makes a bad decisions life in jeopardy and potentially
the kids who were doing it in jeopardy because they
could get shot. You know what I'm saying like is
it's just not funny ring the doorbell and run? What
happened to toilet paper? Like throw an egg? Even like
(13:08):
I'll be mad, but I'll get over it. I'll get
over the house. I forget egged when you were a kid. Yeah,
I still remember who did it. I think I probably
egged somebody. I remember the side of my house got egged.
And one time the person that egged my house and
not a friend. Well I thought we were, but we weren't.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
But then another time when my house got papered, it
really was my friends and it was just a funny prank.
And they literally got a porter potty from another part
of the neighborhood and ended up putting the porter potty
in my front yard.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
How did they get it there?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They had put it in their truck. I don't know
teenage boys a journal. It's a different and a like
a road barricade in my driveway. And they thought it
was hilarious. My mom did not, and she called them
and made them come and pick it all up.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And they did and they.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Were like, we're sorry, miss Judy, it's funny. But yeah, see,
innocent prank. Like nobody was hurt in the process of
any of that.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
See, I was all afraid of adults when I was
a kid, Like I told my husband, the fact that
they left and came back tells me that like they're
not afraid, or their humor is really dark, you know
what I'm saying, Like if I rang somebody's doorbell, I
would like wet my pants laughing and ran in the woods,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's what I felt like we did as kids, That's
what I mean, like either the knock or the ring
and then run away. And we found about hot not
a year or two long game of people in my neighborhood.
It's a sport, sport, like their their sport, And that
is not how I ever treated anything like that, And
(14:35):
of course I hung out with teenagers. I know I
didn't always make the best decisions as a teenager. And
I know one of my boyfriends in high school at
the time made really really really poor decisions that I
was present ish for, you know, like I was around,
wasn't participating, but I knew.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And it's thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Back, it's just like, gosh, why was he making such
stupid decisions? And why were we just sitting by the.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
World is just different.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The world is different, like I I don't even know
if there's really an excuse for it anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Because kids are on social media. They see what's happening
in the world.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
True, a lot of stuff used to be out of
sight out of mind, right or we could protect them
from certain things because they don't have the bandwidth for
a lot that goes on. But yes, there's too many
ways to consume the news. There's no way you're keeping
anything from any kid really these days at all whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Very frightening and it has put like emotional distress on
my life, Like I haven't slept because here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm not afraid of these kids.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I'm afraid of them coming back and terrorizing my six
year old and eight year old. That's where Mama Bear
comes out and I'm like, no, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Not, Nope, not gonna happen. Well, we're probably gonna need
an update. Yeah, and thanks for sharing your story. I
hope even maybe there's teenagers listening right now. And this
sparks a conversation with some of your friends and how
you want to show up, how you want to behave
the consequences of your actions, and how it can follow
you the rest of your life. Like there's things that
(16:07):
you could do that you think are harmless and fun
in the moment, and literally it could affect your college.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Career, your career career.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Like how embarrassing to when you're applying for a job
and you have to put on there that you have
a criminal record because you harass an innocent family.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You know what I'm saying, Like, it's not worth it.
That is not worth it. It's not again.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
The parents like sometimes we just got to sit down
and have some talks with our kids and see what
they're up to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And I mean, that's the most we can do.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
We obviously don't know every single thing they're out doing,
and can we control that because I don't know that
this those boys and their behavior doesn't equal bad parents
or that their parents don't care at all whatsoever. So
you know, we're just doing the best that we can.
But I think it's important to have these conversations and
ya to consider, Yeah, all that is going on in
(16:59):
the world, and like I do want to add more
angst and anxiety are around that when it's already so stressful,
and pick a prank that actually is funny.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Or to someone you know, even, Like it would be
different if I had a teenage daughter and I thought, oh,
these boys are flirting with her, or that might make
it a little more understandable, do you know what I'm saying,
Like it might make.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
More sense to me knocked once on your door and ran, yeah,
but not banging on all your winds.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, none of that is acceptable. I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The fact that I have elementary age kids makes it
even that much worse because it was completely random, which
tells me they don't know whose houses they're banging on.
That's where I'm like, just how they how do they
know they're not going to get that's honestly, as long
as they've been doing it, if they're the same people
that have been doing it around your neighborhood, you know,
they could easily get shot, yeah, which is tragic because
(17:49):
now you've taken something that you're just kind of out
with your buddies doing your thing like haha, and then
you've traumatized somebody else for having to shoot you. Yeah,
and you've stolen something from me. And that's feeling peace
in my own house and that sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And your house is so peaceful it is. I love
my home, I love my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
My favorite thing to do is to leave my front
door open with that screen storm door whatever it's called,
open and let the sunlight in. And the last three
days I've had all the dead bolts locked. You know.
It's just like I'm angry, like, why'd y'all do this?
Like I was just minding my business watching like a movie.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
From the nineties. What were y'all watching? I was just
minding my business watching like a movie from the nineties.
What were y'all watching?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What's that movie? The guy with the afro straight up,
straight laced? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I never have seen that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I think that's what it's called. It's it's really good.
Were like thirty minutes into it and they ruined it.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Speaking of movies and Haley and her husband, her husband's
favorite movie ever is Ghostbusters, all of those and so
for Halloween they're all dressing up as Ghostbusters for her husband,
her kids, and we're sitting here talking about how cute
the costumes are and speaking to kids watching that which
I watched Pretty Woman as a child, and I didn't
(19:13):
put two and two together. Certain things that were happening
at all, whatsoever is lost on me, which this must
have been lost on me as a kid, but I
had no idea. In one of the scenes and Ghostbusters one,
the very first one, a ghost is doing a dirty
thing to down under the guy. Yeah, I had no yet,
and so we pulled up but it's a ghost, yeah yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Get yeah, so her name.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
We pulled it up on YouTube and sure enough, that's
exactly what's happening. But I could see how as a kid,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yet know what that was.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But also crazy to me they even put that in there,
and how many kids watched that movie?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
But like why?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But like my husband was like letting my daughters watch
it when they were way young, and I was like,
what in the world, Like they don't know she's doing
and I was like, I know what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It was just like it blew my mind. Yeah, google it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Fall I mean google it if you if you want
to see that. I don't know why we had to
double check. It's because, like I could believe what Haley's saying,
but that's a lie.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, I'm like, are you sure I even ghosted? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
But in the Pretty Woman's scene, definitely, it looks like
when she's got her variety pack of protection in her boots,
it looks like candy well you know.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Those chocolate covered coins.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes, that's what I thought or was, Yeah, because she says, yeah,
this one is strawberry nothing nothing through this.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, sucker literally, but I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That's the line that you and I both took from
our childhood. Oh.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I have all kinds of lines from Pretty Woman. I
have a runner in my pantinghouse.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
But I'm wearing any videos.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, brown women do and they.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Don't regret it.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Which anytime Haley sings, I think, dang, you made it
to Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. And speaking of pretty well, on the Hollywood What's
she Dream?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's the opening scene of Pretty Woman. Also in the
elevator with the panty host, she goes, well, color me happy.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
There's is so funny and do you want to know
the light my life's biggest letdown. But when I was
in Hollywood for American Idol, I went to Rodale Drive Baby,
and I went to the Regency Beverly Hills Hotel, Reach
Bev Hill.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Right read Bev Hill, And I went to the elevator
Haven't seen pretty Woman? Or like what in the world?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I went to the elevator and the sofa in here
for two is like a little tiny bench. And okay,
so when I was on American Idol, you couldn't like
be on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And so I you know, me and my sex is
what year was this?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
This was like, uh, Steven Tyler's first year and j
Loo's first year, so maybe like two thousand and ten.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Okay, So was you giving reference to Facebook? Oh yeah, yeah,
I mean it was It was like a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So Facebook was not as sophisticated as it. I mean,
I don't even think Instagram was a thing, and so
the rules were very different because of production, like it
films way later, and they didn't want you to post things.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But I was not going to delete my Facebook or
not post about it. So I changed my name so
the producers wouldn't find me. So I changed my name
to Vivian because Vivian, my name is Vivian.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You were VI. I changed my name to Vivian on
Facebook because I mean not you were in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, And it was like, so all my friends at
home knew they could follow along my American idol journey
because I told him my name was Vivian McAllister is.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What I named my name. So they didn't know.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I guess they didn't have a way to Really, they weren't,
I'm telling you monitoring.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It was not like as sophisticated.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It wasn't there was You could post what was happening
and give updates, and it's like you were going to
get bested.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
No, I mean I wasn't telling that many details. But
at that time Facebook was still a lot of college kids.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Now it's crazy to think back in the day when
Facebook first started, you had to have a college email
to sign up.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Mine still is an edu email address.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Mine might be two Ta MU dot ed U Texas
A and m which kat therapy cat. Her fiance went
to ut Knoxville. See I'm from Texas, So I automatically
my brain goes u T Austin, University of Texas and
UT Knoxville was playing Texas A and M this last weekend,
(23:32):
and Kat is texting me all these questions about the
bizarre things she's witnessing, like all she went our yell
leaders and she's like, I just don't understand. I don't
get this. And you had to dunk your ring and
a beer and chug it back and I'm like yeah.
She's like, what does the A and A and M
stand for? And I'm like, agriculture, mechanical And I was
(23:53):
just trying to answer her questions. And the more I
think about it, I'm like, hmm, it is a very
interesting school, but I was used to it. Nothing seems
weird to me. But I could see what is Aggie?
You mean our symbol we do thumbs up? Yeah, we
would have mean is that?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Would y'all say, like, go, Aggie's yeah, twelve or twelfth
Man complex?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's complicated, but our mascot is a border collige.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's a dog. Where did you go to school?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Ole? Miss and John went to Missipi State, And I
don't think Texas A and M plays Ole miss that much,
but they do play Missippi State.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
We used to be in like the Big ten and
now we're in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
See John's a big Missippi State fan, or he was
when we lived there. Now we've kind of like gotten
into Titans and Breads. But like when they would play
Missippi State, it was very confusing because y'all are like
maroon also, and so is Missipy State, and so like
when y'all would come to Missippi State, y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Would wear like your blackout or we would we would
like I have no memory of this. Like I was
what we called a two percenter at Texas A and M,
which means I gag about two percent of effort into
all the crazy traditions.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I respect them. I think they are cool.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Maybe a little outdated at this point, but like there's
certain parts on campus where you can't walk on the
grass or like a Core member could call you out
because it's a Core. It's a military school. So there's
it's a military school. Well some if you're in the Core, yeah,
you're commissioned if you want to go on to the military.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And you didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, they have different units that you're in. And one
of my roommates stayed at a guy. I think he
was like E three. The yell leaders are part of
the core. I mean yeah, they march around campus. They're
in their uniforms. It's very They get up and do
all the military type things they have, you know, salutes, taps.
We would do taps on campus for anybody that had
passed away.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
How did I not know this?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I mean I wouldn't know about a lot of schools
in other states in what they do.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I literally thought that Texas A and M was like
like an agriculture school, but I mean not like all
they were for farming that My my uncle was a
vet and went to Texas A and M.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
So a lot of veterinarians go there. A lot of
especially if you're a large animal, which he was.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well that's a lot like Missippi State.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Missispi State's like like if you have an animal that's sick,
like you're taking it Like It's like if you're really
caring about your animal living, you take it to the
vets at Missipy State.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
That's how it is at Yeah, Texas and I always
thought I wanted to maybe be a vet, but then
I realized.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh, I don't stick your hand in account.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But and my uncle did that a lot. He would
thank you. He'd put the little glove.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
They would swallow you. He'd stick it right in there
and do what he needed to do.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
He was also the mayor of Dilly for years and
years and years, so he was the town vet.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I think you would work on humans if he needed to.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Like his friends, so large animal vet, small animal vet,
him and vet and town mayor.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, and they're a well rounded man.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
There's a Moffatt Street in Dilly named after my the
Moffatt Mafia.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I love it. That's hilarious. Not a very very big place.
I did.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
When I went back there for my dad's funeral in
twenty twenty one. We were over by the watermelon statue
taking a picture because it's the.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Watermelon capital of the Better.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
And a listener came by in the truck and they
pulled over and they're like, what up? And they got
out and we took pictures and I met them and
it was so crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
This is like Shit's Creek. Did you watch that show? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I love that added too, but like where the mayor
is like got twenty different jobs?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, that was my uncle. That's hilarious, Uncle Frank. And
then my uncle Ted. He managed George Strait's ranch down
the road from Dilly Dilly Dilly Dilly Dilly.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
So anyway, little family history there, giglem Aggie's Whoop Hailey
Where can people find you?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
At Hailey Dollar had And today I'm going to answer
it correctly.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
At Women iHeart Country.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
I'm at Radio Amy and that's Haley Aay dollar High,
which I think you already said your socials. We were
going to wrap a little bit ago, but per usual,
we just start talking about other things.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
So bye,
Cass up road thing, little food for you sol life.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, it's pretty beautiful thing beautiful for that for a
little more facing said, he can your.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Kicking with full thing.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
With Amy Brown, Happy Thursday, four things, Amy here and
Hailey Dollar she is here too. And let me tell y'all,
Hailey is an eight on the Enneagram and she is
fired up. If you follow her on social media, then
you already know that teenagers terrorized her home and she
is not letting it go at all whatsoever, and you shouldn't.
(00:55):
What they did was traumatic and unacceptable. I do understand
the teenage brain, and I know that at times when
we were kids, we would run up and ring a
doorbell or knock once and then run away and think
it was funny. And this was far more than that.
So I'll have Haley walk us through. Do you have
any of the saved in highlights or how if people
(01:17):
go to at Haley Dollar hide is there?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My lawyer husband made me take it off my highlights
for the time being, but I will add it back
one day.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Okay, it's under investigator.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Because by the time this episode comes out, some of
the good stuff is going to be gone. Which we
want to be careful in how you're saying it because
we're not trying to talk about exactly who it is,
although Haley has figured that out for sure. And it
also shows the power of social media and you know,
pulling your followers, which some of them live here, and
(01:48):
then some of the teenagers ended up curious because you're
talking about them, so they started following you, like it
really is bonkers. And I told Haley, you know, she's
giving me the latest update, and my brain Haley always
goes to retaliation.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But you know, they would want to come after me.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
So like if I were to be as public as
your being and like handling the way you are, which
I'm very proud of you, it's awesome, I would be scared, like, oh,
they're going to come back and do more to me
because I'm doing this. So I am glad you don't
have that fear. Well, that's the thing. I already feel
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Okay, So it's like if I already feel like that,
I'm going to feel like that either way, So I'm
going to do what I can to attempt to stop it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, as a mom, with what you're about to share,
it is a reminder to me to sit my kids
down and say, hey, if if you're ever with a
group or this is your idea and y'all are thinking
you want to do this, please think again. This is
not something that is a prank or is funny. Because
you were saying you're a prankster, you're fun like I am.
(02:54):
You can do that sort of thing. But what these
kids did, and we should go ahead and just walk
through that story first, and then we can talk about
what are acceptable breaks and you know, how can you
have fun in that way? But I'm just gonna have
a talk with my kids to make sure that I
know I did my part to try to prevent them
from ever doing anything like this to traumatize a family.
(03:16):
And I know you're gonna talk about your girls, and
thankfully they were asleep, and I can't imagine if they weren't,
but I do worry about, yeah, your feelings and your
ability to sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, So Saturday night we were laying on the couch. Honestly,
the part that kind of stinks the most about it,
it was a wonderful night. My kids went to bed early.
John and I had the fire on. It was like
just a good night. We were like cuted on the
couch watching a movie nine thirty, and there was like
(03:46):
a million thoughts that came through our heads in a
matter of twenty five seconds. First it was, are my
kids sleepwalking? Falling down the stairs? Is that thunder? Is
a car driving through my front door? Is the ceiling
falling in? Was so loud?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Y'all?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
So what we found out later was there was five
to six young men with their faces covered, beating on
every window in the front of my house. And I
know this because of the ring cam, but at first
it just sounded like somebody was beating on the door,
very loud, but like it was like coming from all
these angles. So we just we didn't realize it was
(04:22):
the windows yet. Does that make sense totally? Yeah, until
I get how you could see it. Once you see
it on the ring cam, you get what it is.
And yeah, their faces being covered, that's the scary. That's
the next level to me when you look at it
the video and the off Yeah, yeah, they're strong. And
then their faces are totally covered with like shirts wrapped
(04:43):
around their head and one guy has something on his
face with his eyes cut out, and it's just like
y'all know. I mean, if you've listened to me on
here at all or follow me, you know I'm into
true crime. So sometimes I can like kind of freak
myself out.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So well, which is why you have all these security
Oh yeah, I'm not getting ready. Just note to yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I've got about twelve security cameras on every single angle
of my house.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So and that's because of the Idaho murders.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yes, immediately John opens the door once we realize somebody's
beating at the door and they're gone, and so we
come back in and shut the door and I'm like, John,
what was that?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And I call nine to one one and we tell
them to get here.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And while we're on the phone in that one one,
John's pulling up the ring cam and we see their
faces covered and we're like, oh my God, like you've
got to get here, please get here. And it's like
you can kind of hear it in their voices. They're
not concerned. I think they think it's a prank, but
it we're traumatized. And I've had several people on Instagram
reach out to me and say like, oh, this happened
(05:43):
to me.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
The people that this has happened to. They know with
the fear of what it sounds like inside your house.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There have been a few people that this has never
happened to, and or they have teenage boys. They're the
ones that are like, oh, it's just a prank. I'm like, no,
it's not a prank. I refused to like play into that.
So we're on the phone with that one one. It's
taken a little while. It's been about eight minutes. We're
in my bedroom and I have plantation shutters and they're cracked.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A little bit in the light's room.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
These guys are watching me from outside of my window,
and they get on all my windows surrounding my bedroom
and they start doing it there.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And that is when it went fight or flight.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It went from I maybe could have gotten over it to.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You're terrorizing me.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Now you are trying to scare me in my own home,
and I don't know if you're trying to break in
or out like at this point, like all bets.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Are off, Well, you didn't know they were teenagers?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No at that point, And I will say, parents, something
to keep in mind for your kids or if you're
anytime you're making a decision like that to just go
on somebody else's property and behave in that way.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
There is one.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I mean we see it on the news all the time,
like you're one hundred percent putting yourself at risk to
potentially getting one hundred percent and armed shot whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's the most violating, horrible feeling a person can feel
to not feel safe in your own home. And I
know that sounds extreme, but like when you feel like
people are staring at you and harassing you from the
outside of your safe environment, it's horrible. It is horrible.
So I'm on the phone with the dispatcher like they're.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Back, They're back.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I run to the stairs to like protect it because
my kids are asleep upstairs. My husband goes outside, he
starts chasing them, the police get there. Long story long.
I start talking about it on Instagram, and I knew
the internet would do what it does best. And these kids.
At about one thirty yesterday, about one hundred kids started
(07:45):
following me from the high school and ninety percent of
my followers are women. So when these adult women, yeah, yeah,
adult women, John was like, well, they're really in for
some country women, and I mean country music and recipes,
but okay, yeah, they start following me, and a lot
of them start messaging me saying, we think we know
(08:06):
your guy, but.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
It's not that guy.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
They're like framing a guy, and then they start voting
on all my polls. But they underestimate the power of
a crazy woman, you know, like you know, like we
can all stalk, Like you give me somebody's name, I
can find out everything about him. I mean, within I
don't know, three hours, we found out the kid his address,
(08:29):
well one of the main kids, yeah, the main kid,
his hobbies, where he goes to summer camp, all of it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Because he wore this shirt and this is like.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
What is really a blessing the shirt wrapped around his head,
the shirt wrapped around his head that was inside out
covering his face. It wasn't like a Nike shirt or
Adidas or just like this generic shirt. It was a
very specific shirt to a very specific camp from a
whole nother state that.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Just this kid goes to, right, Which that's how you
subtly sent a message that you knew who he was.
If one of the hundred new teens from the high
school that are now following you were him. There's a
song that goes along with the place where it was,
and you put up the picture of him from that
ring cam with the shirt on, and then you attached
(09:20):
the song to play along with the story.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And that was I'm pretty pad amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I mean they're fast kids, they're athletes, they've got a
lot to lose. I don't think kids understand that, Like,
these are criminal charges. Trespassing is a criminal offense. Harassing people.
You know, when you come to someone's house and you
leave and you come back. Now we've entered to harassment.
Say the police are like, oh, we can't catch them. Well,
let me tell you what you can do.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Legally.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I could follow a lawsuit against John Doe one two, three, four,
five six, and that gives me the right to subpoena
anyone and they have to come in for a deposition
and under oath answer any question we ask them. These
are things kids don't think about. And like, you know,
my neighborhood has I can think of right now at
least seven families whose children were at Covenant during the
(10:10):
school shooting. That's not funny to me, you know what
I'm saying. Like you think of a child that experienced
like triggering.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Sounds like that, you know what I'm saying it was
that loud amy.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
It wasn't like yeah yeah, because you can't identify, No,
they don't know, you don't know or people that don't have.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Ring cams and hear it and can't see like maybe
that was a kid or.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And I know that's not they're not thinking, oh, there's
no but they name is in these this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Oh I know, And.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That that's where my Enneagram eight comes through because my
next door neighbor they've terrorized them for the last two
years and they're very peacemaker people.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You know, it's the same people. M h Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
They broke my neighbor's screen door last year from body
slamming into it.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Why are they into this?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I wonder for so long, like I would think maybe
it was a Saturday night one time prank, but this
is like their thing.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I've had multiple people on Instagram in this area of
reach out to me and say, oh, this has happened
to me before. So what I have gathered from these
kids instagrams they're adrenaline junkies and because of their sport,
they're athletes and their particular sport, they're very fast, they're
very fast amy, Like I'm talking like national state recognition
(11:27):
fast athletes. Okay, so they know they can outrun, and
now I know their path. So what they're doing is
is they're running a certain way and making it look
like they're going to one way, and that's where the
police are going. But this kid lives like in the
woods in a whole different direction that you're not really
(11:48):
from the bird's eye, you can see it's very close
to my eye. Does that make I mean to my house?
You can see, but like it doesn't seem very close
to my house. And they're running so fast through the
word and so like they're back in their bedroom play
an Xbox while the cops are in the woods with
the flashlights. But guess what, I've got their number now
and I will not let this go, Like they knocked
(12:11):
on the wrong door. I was telling my therapist today,
the thing about me and the thing about enneagram Ates
is when you do something to me, it's bad, but
like if you do something to someone else, it's just
as bad for me. Like injustice is a very physical
emotion for me. Like I stay awake thinking about if
they knocked on one of those Covenant kids' houses.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I stay awake thinking about if your.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Kids were up, if my kids were up, also your
husband was, I mean he running after them?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, it was pretty bad. He's now at risk.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And you look at somebody, what if they were like
a soldier that had PTSD. That now puts the person
who makes a bad decisions life in jeopardy and potentially
the kids who were doing it in jeopardy because they
could get shot. You know what I'm saying like is
it's just not funny ring the doorbell and run? What
happened to toilet paper? Like throw an egg? Even like
(13:08):
I'll be mad, but I'll get over it. I'll get
over the house. I forget egged when you were a kid. Yeah,
I still remember who did it. I think I probably
egged somebody. I remember the side of my house got egged.
And one time the person that egged my house and
not a friend. Well I thought we were, but we weren't.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
But then another time when my house got papered, it
really was my friends and it was just a funny prank.
And they literally got a porter potty from another part
of the neighborhood and ended up putting the porter potty
in my front yard.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
How did they get it there?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
They had put it in their truck. I don't know
teenage boys a journal. It's a different and a like
a road barricade in my driveway. And they thought it
was hilarious. My mom did not, and she called them
and made them come and pick it all up.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And they did and they.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Were like, we're sorry, miss Judy, it's funny. But yeah, see,
innocent prank. Like nobody was hurt in the process of
any of that.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
See, I was all afraid of adults when I was
a kid, Like I told my husband, the fact that
they left and came back tells me that like they're
not afraid, or their humor is really dark, you know
what I'm saying, Like if I rang somebody's doorbell, I
would like wet my pants laughing and ran in the woods,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's what I felt like we did as kids, That's
what I mean, like either the knock or the ring
and then run away. And we found about hot not
a year or two long game of people in my neighborhood.
It's a sport, sport, like their their sport, And that
is not how I ever treated anything like that, And
(14:35):
of course I hung out with teenagers. I know I
didn't always make the best decisions as a teenager. And
I know one of my boyfriends in high school at
the time made really really really poor decisions that I
was present ish for, you know, like I was around,
wasn't participating, but I knew.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And it's thinking.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Back, it's just like, gosh, why was he making such
stupid decisions? And why were we just sitting by the.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
World is just different.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The world is different, like I I don't even know
if there's really an excuse for it anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Because kids are on social media. They see what's happening
in the world.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
True, a lot of stuff used to be out of
sight out of mind, right or we could protect them
from certain things because they don't have the bandwidth for
a lot that goes on. But yes, there's too many
ways to consume the news. There's no way you're keeping
anything from any kid really these days at all whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Very frightening and it has put like emotional distress on
my life, Like I haven't slept because here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'm not afraid of these kids.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I'm afraid of them coming back and terrorizing my six
year old and eight year old. That's where Mama Bear
comes out and I'm like, no, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Not, Nope, not gonna happen. Well, we're probably gonna need
an update. Yeah, and thanks for sharing your story. I
hope even maybe there's teenagers listening right now. And this
sparks a conversation with some of your friends and how
you want to show up, how you want to behave
the consequences of your actions, and how it can follow
you the rest of your life. Like there's things that
(16:07):
you could do that you think are harmless and fun
in the moment, and literally it could affect your college.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Career, your career career.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Like how embarrassing to when you're applying for a job
and you have to put on there that you have
a criminal record because you harass an innocent family.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You know what I'm saying, Like, it's not worth it.
That is not worth it. It's not again.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
The parents like sometimes we just got to sit down
and have some talks with our kids and see what
they're up to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
And I mean, that's the most we can do.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
We obviously don't know every single thing they're out doing,
and can we control that because I don't know that
this those boys and their behavior doesn't equal bad parents
or that their parents don't care at all whatsoever. So
you know, we're just doing the best that we can.
But I think it's important to have these conversations and
ya to consider, Yeah, all that is going on in
(16:59):
the world, and like I do want to add more
angst and anxiety are around that when it's already so stressful,
and pick a prank that actually is funny.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Or to someone you know, even, Like it would be
different if I had a teenage daughter and I thought, oh,
these boys are flirting with her, or that might make
it a little more understandable, do you know what I'm saying,
Like it might make.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
More sense to me knocked once on your door and ran, yeah,
but not banging on all your winds.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, none of that is acceptable. I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The fact that I have elementary age kids makes it
even that much worse because it was completely random, which
tells me they don't know whose houses they're banging on.
That's where I'm like, just how they how do they
know they're not going to get that's honestly, as long
as they've been doing it, if they're the same people
that have been doing it around your neighborhood, you know,
they could easily get shot, yeah, which is tragic because
(17:49):
now you've taken something that you're just kind of out
with your buddies doing your thing like haha, and then
you've traumatized somebody else for having to shoot you. Yeah,
and you've stolen something from me. And that's feeling peace
in my own house and that sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And your house is so peaceful it is. I love
my home, I love my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
My favorite thing to do is to leave my front
door open with that screen storm door whatever it's called,
open and let the sunlight in. And the last three
days I've had all the dead bolts locked. You know.
It's just like I'm angry, like, why'd y'all do this?
Like I was just minding my business watching like a movie.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
From the nineties. What were y'all watching? I was just
minding my business watching like a movie from the nineties.
What were y'all watching?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What's that movie? The guy with the afro straight up,
straight laced? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I never have seen that.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I think that's what it's called. It's it's really good.
Were like thirty minutes into it and they ruined it.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Speaking of movies and Haley and her husband, her husband's
favorite movie ever is Ghostbusters, all of those and so
for Halloween they're all dressing up as Ghostbusters for her husband,
her kids, and we're sitting here talking about how cute
the costumes are and speaking to kids watching that which
I watched Pretty Woman as a child, and I didn't
(19:13):
put two and two together. Certain things that were happening
at all, whatsoever is lost on me, which this must
have been lost on me as a kid, but I
had no idea. In one of the scenes and Ghostbusters one,
the very first one, a ghost is doing a dirty
thing to down under the guy. Yeah, I had no yet,
and so we pulled up but it's a ghost, yeah yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Get yeah, so her name.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
We pulled it up on YouTube and sure enough, that's
exactly what's happening. But I could see how as a kid,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yet know what that was.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But also crazy to me they even put that in there,
and how many kids watched that movie?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
But like why?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But like my husband was like letting my daughters watch
it when they were way young, and I was like,
what in the world, Like they don't know she's doing
and I was like, I know what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It was just like it blew my mind. Yeah, google it.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Fall I mean google it if you if you want
to see that. I don't know why we had to
double check. It's because, like I could believe what Haley's saying,
but that's a lie.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, I'm like, are you sure I even ghosted? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
But in the Pretty Woman's scene, definitely, it looks like
when she's got her variety pack of protection in her boots,
it looks like candy well you know.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Those chocolate covered coins.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes, that's what I thought or was, Yeah, because she says, yeah,
this one is strawberry nothing nothing through this.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yeah, sucker literally, but I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That's the line that you and I both took from
our childhood. Oh.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I have all kinds of lines from Pretty Woman. I
have a runner in my pantinghouse.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
But I'm wearing any videos.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, brown women do and they.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Don't regret it.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Which anytime Haley sings, I think, dang, you made it
to Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. And speaking of pretty well, on the Hollywood What's
she Dream?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
That's the opening scene of Pretty Woman. Also in the
elevator with the panty host, she goes, well, color me happy.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
There's is so funny and do you want to know
the light my life's biggest letdown. But when I was
in Hollywood for American Idol, I went to Rodale Drive Baby,
and I went to the Regency Beverly Hills Hotel, Reach
Bev Hill.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Right read Bev Hill, And I went to the elevator
Haven't seen pretty Woman? Or like what in the world?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I went to the elevator and the sofa in here
for two is like a little tiny bench. And okay,
so when I was on American Idol, you couldn't like
be on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
And so I you know, me and my sex is
what year was this?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
This was like, uh, Steven Tyler's first year and j
Loo's first year, so maybe like two thousand and ten.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Okay, So was you giving reference to Facebook? Oh yeah, yeah,
I mean it was It was like a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So Facebook was not as sophisticated as it. I mean,
I don't even think Instagram was a thing, and so
the rules were very different because of production, like it
films way later, and they didn't want you to post things.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
But I was not going to delete my Facebook or
not post about it. So I changed my name so
the producers wouldn't find me. So I changed my name
to Vivian because Vivian, my name is Vivian.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
You were VI. I changed my name to Vivian on
Facebook because I mean not you were in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah, And it was like, so all my friends at
home knew they could follow along my American idol journey
because I told him my name was Vivian McAllister is.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What I named my name. So they didn't know.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I guess they didn't have a way to Really, they weren't,
I'm telling you monitoring.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It was not like as sophisticated.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It wasn't there was You could post what was happening
and give updates, and it's like you were going to
get bested.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
No, I mean I wasn't telling that many details. But
at that time Facebook was still a lot of college kids.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Now it's crazy to think back in the day when
Facebook first started, you had to have a college email
to sign up.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Mine still is an edu email address.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Mine might be two Ta MU dot ed U Texas
A and m which kat therapy cat. Her fiance went
to ut Knoxville. See I'm from Texas, So I automatically
my brain goes u T Austin, University of Texas and
UT Knoxville was playing Texas A and M this last weekend,
(23:32):
and Kat is texting me all these questions about the
bizarre things she's witnessing, like all she went our yell
leaders and she's like, I just don't understand. I don't
get this. And you had to dunk your ring and
a beer and chug it back and I'm like yeah.
She's like, what does the A and A and M
stand for? And I'm like, agriculture, mechanical And I was
(23:53):
just trying to answer her questions. And the more I
think about it, I'm like, hmm, it is a very
interesting school, but I was used to it. Nothing seems
weird to me. But I could see what is Aggie?
You mean our symbol we do thumbs up? Yeah, we
would have mean is that?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Would y'all say, like, go, Aggie's yeah, twelve or twelfth
Man complex?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
It's complicated, but our mascot is a border collige.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's a dog. Where did you go to school?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Ole? Miss and John went to Missipi State, And I
don't think Texas A and M plays Ole miss that much,
but they do play Missippi State.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
We used to be in like the Big ten and
now we're in the SEC.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
See John's a big Missippi State fan, or he was
when we lived there. Now we've kind of like gotten
into Titans and Breads. But like when they would play
Missippi State, it was very confusing because y'all are like
maroon also, and so is Missipy State, and so like
when y'all would come to Missippi State, y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Would wear like your blackout or we would we would
like I have no memory of this. Like I was
what we called a two percenter at Texas A and M,
which means I gag about two percent of effort into
all the crazy traditions.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I respect them. I think they are cool.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Maybe a little outdated at this point, but like there's
certain parts on campus where you can't walk on the
grass or like a Core member could call you out
because it's a Core. It's a military school. So there's
it's a military school. Well some if you're in the Core, yeah,
you're commissioned if you want to go on to the military.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
And you didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, they have different units that you're in. And one
of my roommates stayed at a guy. I think he
was like E three. The yell leaders are part of
the core. I mean yeah, they march around campus. They're
in their uniforms. It's very They get up and do
all the military type things they have, you know, salutes, taps.
We would do taps on campus for anybody that had
passed away.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
How did I not know this?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I mean I wouldn't know about a lot of schools
in other states in what they do.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I literally thought that Texas A and M was like
like an agriculture school, but I mean not like all
they were for farming that My my uncle was a
vet and went to Texas A and M.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
So a lot of veterinarians go there. A lot of
especially if you're a large animal, which he was.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well that's a lot like Missippi State.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Missispi State's like like if you have an animal that's sick,
like you're taking it Like It's like if you're really
caring about your animal living, you take it to the
vets at Missipy State.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
That's how it is at Yeah, Texas and I always
thought I wanted to maybe be a vet, but then
I realized.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh, I don't stick your hand in account.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But and my uncle did that a lot. He would
thank you. He'd put the little glove.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
They would swallow you. He'd stick it right in there
and do what he needed to do.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
He was also the mayor of Dilly for years and
years and years, so he was the town vet.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I think you would work on humans if he needed to.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Like his friends, so large animal vet, small animal vet,
him and vet and town mayor.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Okay, and they're a well rounded man.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
There's a Moffatt Street in Dilly named after my the
Moffatt Mafia.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I love it. That's hilarious. Not a very very big place.
I did.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
When I went back there for my dad's funeral in
twenty twenty one. We were over by the watermelon statue
taking a picture because it's the.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Watermelon capital of the Better.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
And a listener came by in the truck and they
pulled over and they're like, what up? And they got
out and we took pictures and I met them and
it was so crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
This is like Shit's Creek. Did you watch that show? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I love that added too, but like where the mayor
is like got twenty different jobs?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, that was my uncle. That's hilarious, Uncle Frank. And
then my uncle Ted. He managed George Strait's ranch down
the road from Dilly Dilly Dilly Dilly Dilly.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
