- 0:19Does he just sat so pretty as soon as you got it situated so he could just see what was going on.
- 0:24He's such a good boy.
- 0:25Well, I, I threw his tennis ball.

- 0:41so we got him a new toy, that duck, but it's got the crinkly wings.
- 0:44Oh yeah.
- 0:45And like he's not really sure about that.
- 0:47As soon as it crinkles he's like, yo, he's done.
- 0:49Have you ever done the bark box subscriptions or anything?
- 0:52I've looked into it, but I haven't done it.
- 0:54So I had done one, several years ago and I.
- 0:58It was really a good deal for, cause I did like, you know, when you first sign up for that stuff, you get all the bonuses and whatever.
- 1:04So they were sending extra chew toys and stuff, so it was a really good thing.
- 1:09Cause they supplied toys that were not easily too destructive.
- 1:13Yeah.
- 1:14Now not the f.
- 1:15Fuzzy kind.
- 1:16Well, and he won't, he won't play with the rubbery kind.
- 1:19Okay.
- 1:19He does not.
- 1:20I don't know if it, well, you know, he, when we got him, he had that tumor on his face.
- 1:23Yeah.
- 1:23And he had to have surgery.
- 1:24Yeah.
- 1:24Where they cut him from like the top of his head to the bottom of his jaw.
- 1:27Oh, bet.
- 1:28Um, to get this tumor out.
- 1:29And I don't, I think it messed with his jaw.
- 1:31Yeah.
- 1:31I, so he does not like super hard toys.
- 1:34Yeah.
- 1:34He won't play with'em.
- 1:35Okay.
- 1:35We have, we bought'em, but he Right.
- 1:37Thinking like, oh, he's not gonna chew you these.
- 1:39Yeah.
- 1:39Um, but's, he not a fan with them.
- 1:41He's not.
- 1:41Mm-hmm.
- 1:41Yeah.
- 1:41Well, ours do like the really hard, um, anything to chew on.
- 1:46Mm-hmm.
- 1:46Um, all of ours do, and I don't, I mean, whatever.
- 1:48That's fine.
- 1:49You know, you don't give him raw hide.
- 1:50You give them the, the better selections.
- 1:52Yeah.
- 1:52But, um, You look so pretty today.
- 1:55Thank you.
- 1:55I'm totally underdressed.
- 1:58Hey, I was feeling a little festive since it's 24th.
- 2:01It fourth July.
- 2:02I love it.
- 2:03So not that I've locked my house today.
- 2:07Um, my friend Lindsay made me a shirt and I should have worn it.
- 2:11Um, but it says spill on the T since 17, 17 30 and it's so cute.
- 2:17It's so cute.
- 2:18Yeah.
- 2:19Um, we've been working on our merch for, you know, our kind stuff and it's, we, we actually hired a guy to do like a whole like, line for us.
- 2:25Okay.
- 2:25Um, but then we had to fire the guy that does all of our technical stuff, so it's just been really slow moving now.
- 2:29Yeah.
- 2:30so it is what it is.
- 2:31Mm-hmm.
- 2:32But eventually it'll get out there.
- 2:33It'll, it will somebody that just like focuses on that probably will help you guys a lot.
- 2:39Yeah.
- 2:39I know what I like mm-hmm.
- 2:40When I see it.
- 2:41But like, I can't come up with those clothing designs.
- 2:45Well, I have a hard time too, because like you said, I know what I like, but that doesn't mean everybody else will like it.
- 2:50Yeah.
- 2:50Um, so I, I feel you there.
- 2:52Yeah.
- 2:53And it's like, I don't want that pressure.
- 2:56Yeah.
- 2:56And then I'm like, you know, like the critics out there Totally.
- 3:00Totally.
- 3:01And on, I'm like, oh, who cares?
- 3:04On, on the other hand, I'm like, oh, my feelings.
- 3:06Yeah.
- 3:07Oh, well.
- 3:07And so I do all of our limited edition bags and I'll design all of those.
- 3:11And so every time we do a limited edition, it's like I'm holding my breath and I'm like, I hope they sell.
- 3:17No.
- 3:17And I'm sure they do very well.
- 3:19They do.
- 3:19But I mean, and you know, Everybody has different taste.
- 3:22Totally.
- 3:22Like I get that.
- 3:24Yeah.
- 3:24I have a, a cornhole bag question.
- 3:26Okay.
- 3:27So I'll, I'll be able to answer it, but you will, you'll, I have a feeling you will.
- 3:30So like when they're in a tournament and do they just use one set of bags or how often do they change those?
- 3:37So every match they're allowed to use one set of bags.
- 3:39Okay.
- 3:39Um, and I believe like, for like, you know, like the real matches or whatever.
- 3:44Yeah.
- 3:44Um, you know, they can warm up so they can see how the boards are playing uhhuh.
- 3:47Cause depending on the conditions, the boards could be super slow, slippery or something.
- 3:50Yeah.
- 3:51So, um, most of the guys bring several different sets of bags for the different conditions.
- 3:56Okay.
- 3:56Um, but during a match you cannot switch out your bags.
- 3:59You have to use the same set the whole time.
- 4:01Okay.
- 4:01But they would probably use one set and then be done with that set and the next tournament, get another or match whatever, use them.
- 4:08No.
- 4:08Cause Okay.
- 4:09Cause they break them in.
- 4:10And so once they're broken in, like they're like, You know, either like super slinky, like, you know, like something that they can Okay.
- 4:15Like slide into the hole really easy.
- 4:17Okay.
- 4:18Okay.
- 4:18Right out of the box.
- 4:19Most of'em are a little bit stiffer.
- 4:21Mm-hmm.
- 4:21And as you play with them, they break in and get softer and, okay.
- 4:25They can do, see, I didn't even think about all of this stuff.
- 4:27There's really a, a science to it.
- 4:29There is, yeah.
- 4:30Kind of like what baseball glove or cleats you would want to break in.
- 4:33Yeah.
- 4:33And Oh, okay.
- 4:34And there's, every back has a different material on it, so they play different.
- 4:37So like you can have like a slick, what call it slick and stick uhhuh where it's swayed on one side.
- 4:42So that's super sticky uhhuh.
- 4:43And then the other side could be a super fast material.
- 4:45So depending on those, you know, conditions.
- 4:47Oh.
- 4:49Or where you need your bag to go to.
- 4:50Not that, I mean, like, they know how to throw on what side they want.
- 4:52You mean?
- 4:53I just throw it in hope for the best.
- 4:55I just hope it hits the board.
- 4:56I hope it just stays on the board.
- 4:58Yeah.
- 4:58I mean, that's fine.
- 4:59I, if it hits the board, that's great.
- 5:01I just want it to get kind of in, I'm terrible.
- 5:03You know, Dylan is really good.
- 5:04Yeah.
- 5:05Really?
- 5:06Yeah.
- 5:06And I think it's just the sports thing.
- 5:07Like, you know, they have great, he's got great hand eye coordination.
- 5:09He does not get that from me.
- 5:11Yeah, no, you're supposed to say he does.
- 5:13No, he does not.
- 5:15I am aware of my abilities and that is not one of them.
- 5:18Was Brandon really athletic?
- 5:20I mean, I know he's fit, but Yeah.
- 5:21Um, he played baseball when he was younger.
- 5:23I think he tried football like before high school and like it just wasn't his jam.
- 5:27Yeah.
- 5:28but you know, I played soccer and I was on track mm-hmm.
- 5:31Um, for a couple years.
- 5:32Okay.
- 5:32And so I was always more of like, I.
- 5:35A runner Like cardio?
- 5:37Yeah.
- 5:37Yeah.
- 5:37Not, not the coordination.
- 5:40I mean, again, like I played soccer, but up until 10th grade.
- 5:43Okay.
- 5:44well, Brian and I were talking about, um, your business and corn hole and he was like, well, I, you know, we just were like, well, when did they change their bags?
- 5:51When and was that all these questions?
- 5:53Cause it's just something we never thought about.
- 5:54Yeah.
- 5:55I did not realize that they could be made different materials on either side, which that totally makes sense.
- 5:59Mm-hmm.
- 6:00And that's really, do y'all do those?
- 6:01Mm-hmm.
- 6:01Do y'all make stuff?
- 6:02Like, we have fif we'll have 15 different series this year, so it'll be 15 different like combos.
- 6:07And then there's different fill too in different fill based differently.
- 6:09And so it's like a whole science to it.
- 6:12There is, yeah.
- 6:14For the education.
- 6:15I did not know.
- 6:16Not again, I, I can't play it.
- 6:20Well, yeah.
- 6:21But now we know a little bit about it, so, um, so Jay got back from the beach today?
- 6:25Mm-hmm.
- 6:26I missed him.
- 6:27I bet.
- 6:28It was like the longest week of my life.
- 6:30Isn't it so weird?
- 6:31Like they're there and you're like, oh my gosh.
- 6:33And then they leave and you're like, oh my gosh.
- 6:35I felt like it was just forever.
- 6:38So he left on Friday and spent the night with Juicys family cuz they were getting up early Saturday to leave and then they just kept back today.
- 6:45So it was over, technically over a week.
- 6:48And, yeah, I mean, even just trying to, and he didn't want to text to me.
- 6:51I mean, he was having fun and he would respond and, and stuff, but I was in my feelings a little bit.
- 6:56I was getting a little bit salty because I texted him, was like, Hey, what are you doing?
- 7:00And he, you know, a few minutes later he was like watching him play pool.
- 7:03And I was like, oh cool.
- 7:04Who are you watching?
- 7:05A few minutes later he said, juicy and Anthony.
- 7:07And um, I said, oh, what are y'all gonna do today?
- 7:11And there was no answer.
- 7:12Aw.
- 7:12And I was like, if you're not playing, you can.
- 7:17I told Brian, I was like, I'm done with him.
- 7:19Like I'm done.
- 7:20I'm, I'm not even, and a few minutes later he, he responded, he was like, sorry.
- 7:24Um, but, and he and I just, you know, didn't answer back.
- 7:27And I told Brian, I was like, I'm done.
- 7:28I'm cutting him off.
- 7:29I'm just done.
- 7:30But it was so funny because then like the next day, I think he was texting Brian, I had Brian's phone for some reason, and his whole text chain to Jackson was huge.
- 7:40And I was like, I didn't get all this.
- 7:43Mm-hmm.
- 7:43So it was just the moment.
- 7:45Yeah.
- 7:46Um, but they had a great time, walking around and playing in the pool and.
- 7:52Riding golf carts and all of things.
- 7:55Yeah.
- 7:55That's good.
- 7:56I know.
- 7:57I always tell Dylan if he doesn't respond, I'm like, um, you have a phone and I know that it's always in your face.
- 8:02Mm-hmm.
- 8:02And if you can't respond to me when I text you, then you don't get a phone.
- 8:06I, I tried to give him a little bit, especially because I knew like he could have been in the pool.
- 8:11Yeah.
- 8:12And not able to respond.
- 8:13But that's why I was like, you're sitting there watching and you're not playing it, you know, aggressively test, it's texting him.
- 8:18You better.
- 8:19Get on that.
- 8:20I know, I know.
- 8:21I've been on my high horse lately.
- 8:22there was a, there's a Facebook page and it's a beach group for one of our South Carolina beaches.
- 8:30Mm-hmm.
- 8:30And it had a picture of a family standing on sand dunes and, you know, you're not supposed to be on the sand dunes cause of erosion, that kind of stuff.
- 8:38And underneath it, you could see where there was a picture, uh, like a plaque in the sand dunes that said, do not get on dunes.
- 8:45And, and it's in their family photo.
- 8:47So of course everybody's commenting on this chain.
- 8:50And I'm like, this is why we can't have nice things.
- 8:53I think that was the first thing I said.
- 8:55So this dude commented back and was like, they're just standing on it.
- 8:59And I was like, this is gonna be the hill I die on today.
- 9:02Yeah.
- 9:02And so I just go to town like, you can't, you know, if everybody stands on da, da, da, da da.
- 9:06And he was like, what's the big deal?
- 9:08So I was like, let me check this fella out.
- 9:11He was like, 13.
- 9:12Oh.
- 9:13Or 12?
- 9:1312.
- 9:14I mean, he's probably in the photo.
- 9:16He was like, they're just standing on it.
- 9:18They're not hurting anything.
- 9:19And he was like, I ride my scooter up and down him and he was probably just being a jerk.
- 9:22Yeah.
- 9:22At this point.
- 9:22But I was like, I'm gonna admit he was.
- 9:25Yeah.
- 9:25He was.
- 9:26I was like, I am not losing this.
- 9:29And then I went to refresh and say something else.
- 9:32Cause like I said, I've been in a mood and I was not gonna lose that battle.
- 9:35And all his comments were gone.
- 9:36And I was like, come on, who's next?
- 9:39And I'm like, dirty leader.
- 9:41Um, so yeah, that's how I've been luckily.
- 9:47Um, well, we have some exciting news.
- 9:50Mm-hmm.
- 9:50So Brandon had to go outta town, to Michigan because the a.
- 9:55The American Corn Hole League's final Chase, their last national event before the World Championship is mm-hmm.
- 10:00This weekend.
- 10:00Wow.
- 10:01So our commercial aired and it aired on CBS Sports last night, and it'll be on ESPN tonight.
- 10:08Okay.
- 10:08Tomorrow, and I be back on cbs, so I'm gonna have to roll it.
- 10:12I bet it'll be like on their Twitter or something, I think.
- 10:16Um, we'll have it on our social tomorrow.
- 10:17Okay, cool.
- 10:18Um, but yeah, it's, uh, it was super exciting.
- 10:21And then, the teams event was last night for the acl.
- 10:23They have, State teams kinda like the NFL does now.
- 10:25Yeah.
- 10:26Um, so they kind of like followed suit with that.
- 10:29And last night, the teams that played, we had players from our team on both of those teams.
- 10:34Oh.
- 10:35So either way we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:37Um, but the team that had, um three players from our mm-hmm.
- 10:41Uh, team, um, won last night.
- 10:44And so, well of course Brandon was in the, in the audience cheering.
- 10:48Oh, that's good.
- 10:49Um, he made, he made the broadcast like he was like in the audience like, oh, that's cool though.
- 10:54That's really cool.
- 10:55So, uh, that was.
- 10:56Yeah.
- 10:56Really?
- 10:56He said it was such a cool experience and, um, yeah, I was like, well, cool.
- 11:01I'm here with a bunch of 15 year old boys who, who requested, root beer floats.
- 11:06Did he really?
- 11:07I ran and got root beer and ice cream.
- 11:09Oh gosh.
- 11:09And I was like, I think those are nasty.
- 11:11I don't like them either.
- 11:12Okay, okay.
- 11:12Um, but I was like, it could be so much worse.
- 11:15Totally.
- 11:15Yeah.
- 11:16Um, and I was thinking of what I was doing like around, so you were like, we can do root beer float.
- 11:21I'll, but you guys, I drink all day long.
- 11:23Right.
- 11:24Okay.
- 11:24Rex.
- 11:26That's so cute.
- 11:26That he's so cute.
- 11:27Let him have it.
- 11:29Um, if you hear crinkling, it's the duck.
- 11:33Rex was like me.
- 11:34Yeah.
- 11:34I said you rexy.
- 11:36So Yeah.
- 11:36You've had boys in and out then for the past couple of days you were saying.
- 11:40Um, so like I, you know, I was telling you earlier.
- 11:41Yeah.
- 11:42Um, when, you know, we work a lot, so it's hard for Dylan to have friends over mm-hmm.
- 11:45And be able to let loose and be loud and, you know.
- 11:48Yeah.
- 11:48The, the noise doesn't bother me.
- 11:49I can block it out.
- 11:50I think that's a mom trait.
- 11:51I think so too.
- 11:52Um, where like, You know, they could be in the next room, and I don't.
- 11:57Hear'em or I block it out.
- 11:58Yeah.
- 11:58Um, selective hearing, I guess.
- 12:00Yeah, totally.
- 12:01Um, but you know, Brandon has a harder time, um, navigating that.
- 12:04Yeah.
- 12:04And so it's, um, you know, Dylan was like, mom, can everybody come over?
- 12:10So like everybody, he doesn't even just say one name.
- 12:12So there it's been like, you know, a revolving door of friends, which is totally fine.
- 12:16I'm glad that he's having a, you know, a good time and to use the pool with his friends and absolutely doing all the things that he wants to do.
- 12:23So.
- 12:24Well, I want to take a float in your pool sometime.
- 12:27Yes, ma'am.
- 12:27I think we should.
- 12:28I agree.
- 12:29Um, but should we do that before, after our viewing party of Matt Rice Oh, mg?
- 12:33Is that I can really do that.
- 12:34I am down.
- 12:36I think that'd be so much fun.
- 12:37I think we could do like a, like a party or do like a, like a, some kind of party in, um, Facebook, like, I think so like a viewing party or something there.
- 12:45Yeah.
- 12:45Yeah.
- 12:45So what we're talking about is July 17th.
- 12:48Mm-hmm.
- 12:48Matt Rife is doing a show on YouTube.
- 12:51On YouTube, so we will have to have a viewing party.
- 12:55We'll, I think it'd be fun, I think.
- 12:56Oh God.
- 12:57Even if it's just you and I in there.
- 12:58Yeah, it probably will be.
- 13:00It's so much fun.
- 13:01Listen, I am like, it was so funny.
- 13:03So I just saw a clip of him, I don't know if it's like on TikTok or whatever.
- 13:06Yeah.
- 13:06He was doing an interview and he said that when he first, well he, he had been doing comedy for like 11 years, but like mm-hmm.
- 13:12When he was really getting booked nationally.
- 13:14Mm-hmm.
- 13:14He went to somewhere in New York and um, sold out the show like immediately.
- 13:19Mm-hmm.
- 13:19Two shows, one after the other.
- 13:20And he goes in there and it's, the first show was all women and they were not there for comedy.
- 13:29He's like, they were there because I look like this funny.
- 13:33And I was like, well, I mean, so he said, then the second show he's like, surely this isn't gonna happen again.
- 13:39The second show, it was all gay men and one woman.
- 13:43That's great.
- 13:44That's great.
- 13:46So, and I, I'm sure like this is gonna be a super funny like hour uhhuh, um, and it's free, like he's doing it for free because he says that everybody just judges him on his looks.
- 13:57Yeah.
- 13:57And he is doing it for his only fans.
- 14:02I think it's great.
- 14:03We'll definitely, um, make an event.
- 14:05Yeah.
- 14:05And put it in our page and whoever wants to come join us.
- 14:09Please do.
- 14:10I can't wait.

- 14:54Yeah.
- 14:55But I saw him with like a picture of Matt Rife and I was like, oh, this is good to go.
- 15:00This is a good one.
- 15:00Yeah, I saw that.
- 15:01That was great.
- 15:02And the other thing we've shared that was really funny was the umpire and just being so exaggerated.
- 15:08And you had mentioned going to see the Savannah banana Bananas.
- 15:12Yeah.
- 15:12Cause their, um, gets crazy.
- 15:13Yeah, I would love to do that too.
- 15:15Okay.
- 15:16Let's, we should totally look up the, the schedule.
- 15:18Yeah.
- 15:18I, I've been wanting to go for like a year and a half and Brian has no interest.
- 15:22Imagine that.
- 15:23And he wanted to see that Brandon really thinks, but Brian does like, not right.
- 15:29He thinks he's funny.
- 15:30Yeah.
- 15:30I mean, he is, he's hysterical.
- 15:32So, yeah.
- 15:33Okay.
- 15:33So my feeling party on July 17th, and we're gonna look up the Savannah Bananas.
- 15:38Oh my gosh.
- 15:38So like the other team that plays with them is called the party Animals.
- 15:41And I follow both of them on social media and they are so funny.
- 15:44I wondered who the other one was or if it was several teams.
- 15:48Cause I hadn't dug deep defense.
- 15:49It's just two teams.
- 15:50It's the party animals and then like the bananas.
- 15:52Yeah.
- 15:52Um, so I think the party animals are supposed to be the bad boy like version.
- 15:57Yeah, yeah.
- 15:57You know, whatever.
- 15:58But, um, yeah.
- 15:59So yeah, they're fun to watch.
- 16:01Yeah.
- 16:01There was one, Facebook or TikTok or something recently where they were like, Sitting in the bleachers singing Britney Spears, I think.
- 16:07And they were like coming out.
- 16:09Oh yeah.
- 16:09Oh yeah.
- 16:09I would die like the whole, like nineties.
- 16:11But yeah, that was great.
- 16:14That was good.
- 16:15I, I'm such a Britney Spears fan.
- 16:17I still, to this day, I love her.
- 16:18I saw, oh my God.
- 16:20Oh, I feel like I've done lately as watched TikTok.
- 16:22and there was, there's a, talk show host, and he's, I wanna say based in London.
- 16:27I can't remember his name, but his thing is every celebrity that comes on has to share some kind of funky trait they have or attribute like, Hugh Jackman was juggling.
- 16:38Mm-hmm.
- 16:39Um, somebody else was riding a unicycle.
- 16:41Well, Anne Hathaway can.
- 16:43Do a Britney Spears impression?
- 16:45No, I'm gonna have to link that as well, Do you think some, do you think Brittany is, uh, has been taken away by somebody because you know that there's all that conspiracy?
- 16:53No.
- 16:54I don't know.
- 16:56I don't know.
- 16:56I have been a fan since like the day she came out.
- 16:59and I was like, totally, uh, in sync.
- 17:02Oh yeah.
- 17:02Back street bull.
- 17:03Oh yeah.
- 17:03She was like, your typical now I do have to tell you though, I was not a big fan of Brittany and I mean, she was all right, but I like Jessica Simpson better.
- 17:11Okay.
- 17:12I thought she was so pretty.
- 17:14My wedding song is Take My Breath Away by Jessica Simpson.
- 17:17Oh.
- 17:18Like her version of it.
- 17:19Okay.
- 17:19Mm-hmm.
- 17:20Ours was a Van Morrison song Into The Mystic.
- 17:23Yeah, that's, I wanted, that probably says something about us, doesn't it?
- 17:27Probably we need a music analyst in here.
- 17:31Um, to, to tell us what all of our, so I saw, I mean this is like a while ago, but there was a dj, like a wedding dj.
- 17:38Yeah.
- 17:38And he said that he could tell like what?
- 17:40By the songs, by the song that they chose, if they would stay there.
- 17:43I've saw that.
- 17:44I've seen that before.
- 17:45Cause I was like, I don't even wanna know.
- 17:47Yeah.
- 17:48We've reached the limit though.
- 17:49We're almost at 20.
- 17:50We're good, right?
- 17:50Yeah.
- 17:50Yeah.
- 17:51I think we, we surpassed the Yeah, like I, I remember seeing that too.
- 17:56Cause it, I don't wanna say the songs cause I don't People are coming at me.
- 18:00So we're just gonna, moving on.
- 18:02Yeah.
- 18:02Um, how about the House Made by Freedom McFadden?
- 18:05Okay.
- 18:06I'm gonna read it first and then get into it.
- 18:08Okay.
- 18:08I have thoughts.
- 18:10I know.
- 18:10I have thoughts too.
- 18:11Yeah Every day I clean the Winchester's beautiful house top to bottom.
- 18:15I collect their daughter from school and I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor, I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up.
- 18:25How she tells strange lies about her own daughter and how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day.
- 18:31But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life.
- 18:37The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
- 18:40I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once just to see what it's like.
- 18:45But she soon finds out, and by the time I realized my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside.
- 18:50It's far too late.
- 18:52But I reassure myself that Winchesters don't know who I really am.
- 18:55They don't know what I'm capable of.
- 18:57All right, so trigger warning, domestic violence.
- 18:59Yes.
- 19:00Did you not think that this was like, almost exactly like, just like, was it last Miss Parish?
- 19:07Yes.
- 19:07Or behind closed Doors?
- 19:07No, the last Miss Parish.
- 19:08Yeah.
- 19:09Just like it.
- 19:10And so then I like, I look up to see like, which one's written first.
- 19:12I'm like, well, I have to do that too.
- 19:14And I forgot.
- 19:14Um, so the last Miss Par parish was written first.
- 19:17Okay.
- 19:17I think I texted you.
- 19:19And I'm like, yeah, yeah.
- 19:21Well, and then when we were chatting too, I was like, do I need to finish reading or No?
- 19:26And by the way, we might have some spoilers in this.
- 19:28Yeah.
- 19:28I got some issues with, with the, the blurb.
- 19:31Yes, me too.
- 19:32That's what I was gonna say.
- 19:32So she found out right away that, that, that the door didn't lock.
- 19:36Like the first day she was there.
- 19:37That's crap.
- 19:38Yeah.
- 19:38And her trying on the white dress.
- 19:39Yeah.
- 19:40That was crap.
- 19:41Yeah.
- 19:42Okay.
- 19:42And then, um, the other part was that, they don't know who she is.
- 19:46Well, miss Winchester knew exactly who she was from the beginning, so I had a lot of issues.
- 19:51Yeah.
- 19:52With that.
- 19:52Yeah.
- 19:53But I did like the ending.
- 19:55Yeah.
- 19:57I, I could not help but to compare, I mean Yeah, me too.
- 20:01Everything from going to the play Yes.
- 20:04And the dinner and the hotel, like everything was so much the same.
- 20:09Yes.
- 20:09the ending was a little different and I still feel like there was some things in the ending I didn't understand, but I was trying to like, multitask a lot at the end.
- 20:16Yeah.
- 20:16So I might have to go back and listen, but, spoiler here, So they get their revenge on Mr.
- 20:23Mann.
- 20:23Mm-hmm.
- 20:24Because he was the, the twisted one.
- 20:27Mm-hmm.
- 20:27Um, but so the, the gardener guy mm-hmm.
- 20:30I kept thinking he was gonna be like some kind of undercover cop.
- 20:34Okay.
- 20:35Yeah.
- 20:35I thought he was like FBI agent something.
- 20:37I, yeah, yeah.
- 20:37No, because I felt like he was just always out there just like piddling, keeping busy, like replant the same flower Yeah.
- 20:43On the whole time.
- 20:44Yeah.
- 20:45Okay.
- 20:45And at the end I was like, what the heck?
- 20:47Whatever.
- 20:48Yeah.
- 20:48So, I had so many issues with this book.
- 20:50Like, I, and I think it's because we've read the other one, just the last book Yeah.
- 20:54Was the, the last Ms.
- 20:56Parrish.
- 20:56Yeah.
- 20:57So I didn't like it.
- 21:00I know it was okay.
- 21:01I wonder if I would've read this one first or if they'd have been more spaced out.
- 21:05Yeah.
- 21:05Um, how I would feel.
- 21:07But I, I felt like, because we did just read that one, I saw this coming a mile away.
- 21:11Yeah.
- 21:11Because it was even written the same.
- 21:13Yeah.
- 21:13Like part one and part two.
- 21:15I know.
- 21:15I know.
- 21:16When it got to that part I was like, What the heck?
- 21:18Yeah.
- 21:19Yeah.
- 21:19Um, and I did have Alexa read this one to me.
- 21:23Me too.
- 21:24Yeah.
- 21:24And it was, it was okay.
- 21:25Yeah.
- 21:25For some reason I was able to follow it.
- 21:27Well, so, okay.
- 21:28Let me tell you what I thought was going to happen.
- 21:30Okay.
- 21:30And then I was like, it would've been such a better story.
- 21:35I'm sure it would've.
- 21:37I thought so.
- 21:37They kept spoiler alert, kept saying like, they wanted another baby.
- 21:41Yeah.
- 21:41I thought that they were gonna knock the made up and then lock her up into the attic to have the baby and take, take the baby.
- 21:48That's what I thought was gonna happen.
- 21:49Oh, yeah.
- 21:51I could see that would've been a good, then I thought it was gonna go into That's how they got their first daughter, right?
- 21:54Because they had the, the claw marks on the door.
- 21:57Yeah.
- 21:57When she first went in there.
- 21:59Well, because we had even talked and said that we thought that this book was gonna be like The Handmaid's Tale, which that kind of goes more along the lines in this.
- 22:07so I could see, yeah, that might be, let me write that book off.
- 22:11Um, yeah, that's where I thought it was going.
- 22:14And so, I did get tripped up with that.
- 22:16Yeah.
- 22:16Cause I didn't think it was gonna be exactly like exactly like it.
- 22:20Yeah.
- 22:20The other book, so.
- 22:21Mm-hmm.
- 22:22I mean, the only things that were different were her accomplice.
- 22:25Mm-hmm.
- 22:25Was, was the dude.
- 22:27And then, Her backstory with her and history wasn't like, so, like trashy.
- 22:31Yeah.
- 22:32Well, she wasn't, her intent was not to destroy this marriage.
- 22:36Yeah.
- 22:36She just wanted job and somewhere to live.
- 22:37Yeah.
- 22:38Um, but she, there is a sequel.
- 22:40Yes.
- 22:40I know.
- 22:41I'm just not really interested.
- 22:42I can either.
- 22:42I'm, I just want her to throw it out there.
- 22:44It's called like the house made Secret.
- 22:45Yeah.
- 22:45I think.
- 22:46I'm not interested.
- 22:47I'm not either.
- 22:48but I thought I'd throw it out there if anybody did love it.
- 22:51I was like, kind of mad that this had four and a half stars on Amazon.
- 22:57Yeah.
- 22:58And I went through the reviews and nobody made a comparison.
- 23:01Now I did read one review and they were like, this is just pretty much flat out plagiarism.
- 23:06It wasn't on Amazon, it might have been on like Good Reads or something like that.
- 23:09Yeah.
- 23:09So I did see that.
- 23:10Cause I was like, to what?
- 23:12Yeah.
- 23:12And then I started reading that.
- 23:13I was like, Ugh.
- 23:14Yeah.
- 23:14So I'll take blame for that.
- 23:17Like our next group of books, I'm definitely going to, they would never have known that based off of the book.
- 23:22I know, but still like, And like I had said, I need some more palate cleansers in between.
- 23:27Yeah.
- 23:28so next week, and I don't even know what this one's about either, so let me explain to you where our book list came from, if we ever said it.
- 23:34So I had a list of books I wanted to read and you had a list of books.
- 23:38Mm-hmm.
- 23:38We kind of mixed them together and then I think we threw a couple more in there.
- 23:42Mm-hmm.
- 23:42so that's how we built the first one.
- 23:43The second one that we're working on now we're getting a lot of recommendations.
- 23:47Mm-hmm.
- 23:48I would love some more.
- 23:49So if you have any book recommendations, please let us know.
- 23:52Yep.
- 23:52We'd love to add'em to our list.
- 23:53We have several from Alexis Yeah.
- 23:56Who, has given us a few that I will definitely add in there.
- 23:59but we're gonna continue with, I think it's, it's been fun to have that list.
- 24:02Yeah.
- 24:03And it's made me read more.
- 24:04Me too.
- 24:04I do read a lot of different books throughout the week.
- 24:07Yeah.
- 24:07Um, and I actually, speaking of just downloaded, um, Nicole Eaton's book Oh.
- 24:11Did, because I wanna, I wanna read it before we make meet her that's like, know what she's about.
- 24:16And I, and she said that she's having another book launch, um, in November.
- 24:21Uh, I wonder, I thought it was August, but it might be I'm off today.
- 24:24Okay.
- 24:24You know, it might, it probably is August later in the year.
- 24:26Yeah.
- 24:27That's exciting.
- 24:28I actually started like looking at her stuff and you know mm-hmm.
- 24:30After you had mentioned her, I totally love her vibe.
- 24:33Like I know, I, I think she would be such a cool chick.
- 24:36Absolutely.
- 24:37When you, when you look at her and kinda see she's very put together.
- 24:40Yeah.
- 24:41Like I said, she's kind of not.
- 24:43Not anti-us.
- 24:45Anti-us, but I, yeah.
- 24:47Um, but then when you hear, if you, if you guys know me or Meredith, we are not hot mess express.
- 24:53Yes.
- 24:54A lot of times not put together.
- 24:55No, no.
- 24:56I, I, I tried to fake it, but we can clean up Nice.
- 24:59Sometimes.
- 25:00Yes.
- 25:00But for the most part, it's like, I'm always texting you.
- 25:03I'm running late, but I'm coming.
- 25:04Um, but anyway, so you, you see her and she's, you know, this beautiful well put together lady, and then you hear her talk and not, you know, she's eloquent.
- 25:14Yeah.
- 25:14But she's also like, I, I can think she's down to earth.
- 25:17Yes.
- 25:17I think that that's like, I don't know.
- 25:19I think she'd be really cool.
- 25:20I do too.
- 25:21So I do too.
- 25:22Got intrigued after last week and Yeah.
- 25:23Thanks for that recommendation.
- 25:25Sure.
- 25:25I'm super excited to read her book so I, I've got it on the Kindle.
- 25:28That sounds good.
- 25:29I am actually listening to another one as well, because you had mentioned it, down the Rabbit Hole.
- 25:34Mm-hmm.
- 25:35Um, so I've been listening to that one, and it's by Holly Madison.
- 25:39Mm-hmm.
- 25:39And, it's interesting.
- 25:41Yeah.
- 25:41It's entertaining.
- 25:43Mm-hmm.
- 25:43And, you know, you just never know what's true.
- 25:45This whole book could be lies.
- 25:46Yeah.
- 25:47But it's a neat perspective.
- 25:49and it's about her time in the Playboy Mansion for those that don't know who she is.
- 25:52So if you're intrigued.
- 25:54Yes.
- 25:55If you're intrigued, then Yeah, definitely check that out.
- 25:58Cause that's, that's very interesting too.
- 25:59Yeah.
- 26:00now our next book on our list is Saban.
- 26:02Noaha.
- 26:02Yes.
- 26:03I believe by Lucinda Berry.
- 26:04Yes.
- 26:05That is on, hoopla.
- 26:06Is it?
- 26:06Yes.
- 26:07I have no idea what this one's about.
- 26:08Hopefully.
- 26:09Hopefully that one is a little bit different.
- 26:11Um, yeah.
- 26:13When I found it.
- 26:13Yeah.
- 26:14I think I read it and I was like, oh, this sounds a little bit better.
- 26:16Okay.
- 26:17Yeah.
- 26:18We're we're gonna get there.
- 26:19Yeah.
- 26:19We're gonna get it figured out.
- 26:20Brian and I watched a movie last night that was absolutely terrible.
- 26:25So do not watch, I think it was called The Prisoner or Prisoners.
- 26:29I thought it was gonna be like, did you see Take In with Liam?
- 26:32Yes, yes.
- 26:33I thought it was that kind of vibe.
- 26:34It's got, um, ARD Butler.
- 26:36Mm-hmm.
- 26:37And it, and I thought that's what it was gonna be about.
- 26:39And it started off with people getting taken, but then the whole movie was about them torturing the people that Oh, no, no.
- 26:47And we were like, this is terrible.
- 26:49Can we stop?
- 26:49And they were like, well, kind of wanna know how it ends.
- 26:51That train wreck.
- 26:52Don't watch that movie.
- 26:54Um, I mean, don't, just don't do it.
- 26:57I also had Jake, uh, Jill Hall in it.
- 26:59Mm-hmm.
- 26:59Just don't, but don't do it.
- 27:01I mean, find another movie that they're in.
- 27:02So Dylan and I just watched the other night, creed three.
- 27:05Oh yeah.
- 27:05Oh.
- 27:05Cause he loves, he loved Creed One too.
- 27:07Yeah.
- 27:07And he thought it was gonna, get played out, you know, like Yeah.
- 27:09But it was actually really good.
- 27:11Like, I enjoyed it.
- 27:11He enjoyed it.
- 27:12Yeah.
- 27:12Okay.
- 27:13So, if you, if you like the Creed movies, I saw the first one, not the second one, but I would like to, for some reason the men in my house don't wanna watch a lot of sports movies.
- 27:22No.
- 27:22Well, we were like searching, you know, cuz like Yeah.
- 27:24I feel like there's nothing good.
- 27:26I know there's not.
- 27:27So when Dylan asked to watch a movie, I'm always down because Yeah.
- 27:30Like, you know, I need that time with him.
- 27:31Yeah.
- 27:32But, finding a movie is, I know, like near impossible.
- 27:34Well I've tried to, when I come across'em, like save them to my list.
- 27:37Mm-hmm.
- 27:38I'm sure you probably have a list or something like that too, so come back to Yeah.
- 27:42When it's like, what can we watch?
- 27:44and so prisoners on there, but if any of you guys have that on your My List or Saved to Later Take It all, that's ridiculous.
- 27:52It was terrible.
- 27:53I mean, it was terrible and.
- 27:56Just don't do it.
- 27:57Don't even waste your life.
- 27:58Okay.
- 27:58It was so, it was disturbing.
- 28:01It was just so disturbing what they were doing to these people.
- 28:04And then don't you feel like, okay, the people that think this stuff up and write this stuff should be like, in a institution somewhere.
- 28:10Probably.
- 28:11Because if you can think this stuff up, like, I know, oh my God, it was terrible.
- 28:15I'm sorry.
- 28:15It was terrible.
- 28:16So after, I know, after we watched the movie and we were both looking at each other, it was like midnight and, you know, we're normally early birds.
- 28:23Yeah.
- 28:23Like, at least Brian is, I'll stay up and watch tv, but he gets up way earlier than me, so I'll stay up and just chill.
- 28:28Mm-hmm.
- 28:28But we were both sitting there like all the lights on in our house, like, oh my God, this is insane.
- 28:32I was like, we've gotta watch something else.
- 28:34Like, we need like something funny or something.
- 28:36And I'm not a big like sitcom person unless it's friends.
- 28:39Yes.
- 28:40Um, I, I don't like the laugh, try, call that stupid stuff.
- 28:44So he put it on, um, Gabriel Orias, which is fluffy.
- 28:48It's his name, he's a comedian.
- 28:50And we sat there till like one in the morning just watching this comedian named Fluffy.
- 28:56It was pretty funny.
- 28:58It was just Yeah.
- 28:59Outta sorts.
- 29:00Yeah.
- 29:01It didn't feel right.
- 29:01So I love scary movies.
- 29:03Yeah.
- 29:04And the like, so does Dylan.
- 29:05Sure.
- 29:05So like the whole month of October, like we do like scary movie marathons.
- 29:08Mm-hmm.
- 29:09Brandon is not a fan.
- 29:11Mm-hmm.
- 29:12I mean, like he'll sit through it if he has to.
- 29:13Mm-hmm.
- 29:13But like he's just not.
- 29:14Yeah.
- 29:15So, When we first moved to Tennessee, Dylan wasn't born yet.
- 29:18Mm-hmm.
- 29:18We watched, I think it was the Ring.
- 29:20Mm.
- 29:21And, and I'm such a jerk.
- 29:24Yeah.
- 29:25Were you mean to him?
- 29:27That's one.
- 29:28I think the girls in the, like they're in the shower or something.
- 29:30Mm-hmm.
- 29:30And like, it's like they make like this weird, like Yeah.
- 29:33Weird sound.
- 29:34Yeah.
- 29:34So, um, I'm pretty sure that was the movie that it was.
- 29:37Um, so he was in the shower.
- 29:40You did it?
- 29:42Oh my gosh.
- 29:43Like, like the weird, like whatever noise.
- 29:45And like, I started like scratch.
- 29:47Oh, you remember?
- 29:47So terrible.
- 29:51I'm lucky he didn't punch me.
- 29:52Like, yeah.
- 29:53Oh my gosh.
- 29:54So, yeah, I, like, I am a, I'm a total jerk.
- 29:58Well, mine used to scare me, um, like if I'd be in the shower and he would come home.
- 30:03He would come home and like jerk the shower curtain back.
- 30:08Especially in our old house where we used to live.
- 30:10Cause you just couldn't hear, and we didn't have an alarm on the house or anything.
- 30:13And he would just come in and, and it would terrify me.
- 30:17Now I love to scare people, but don't scare me.
- 30:23I don't know if I might have already mentioned this, when my uncle used to babysit, sent me when I was little.
- 30:27Mm-hmm.
- 30:27So I was in kindergarten and, you know, kindergarten's like partial days.
- 30:31And so my uncle would sometimes, pick me up or, you know, get me from kindergarten or whatever and watch me for the afternoon.
- 30:36And he would let me watch Nightmare Nim Street.
- 30:39Oh my gosh.
- 30:39Freddy Cooper.
- 30:41And at the age of five.
- 30:43Right?
- 30:44Right.
- 30:44That might have spurned your love.
- 30:46And I was like, I'm old enough, I, I can handle it.
- 30:48And so of course at night I'd be like, petrified and my brother and sisters would sit outside my bedroom door singing the Freddy song at, you know, like after I went to bed and I the baby.
- 30:59So like, I went to bed first.
- 31:00And so they would sit out there and sing that song to the princess.
- 31:03Yes.
- 31:04They were jealous.
- 31:04That was rude.
- 31:06They weren't, they, they weren't royalty.
- 31:08No they weren't.
- 31:10Did you hear about those girls from the high school?
- 31:12Yes.
- 31:13We didn't talk about this last time.
- 31:14No, we didn't.
- 31:15And like I thought about it again cause I just saw something else come up on my newsfeed about it and I was we need to talk about this cause this is crazy.
- 31:21Okay.
- 31:21Do you wanna tell what happened?
- 31:22no, because I'm just going kinda like on a lot of hearsay.
- 31:25Yeah.
- 31:26If you might have more detail.
- 31:27Well cuz Dylan saw a lot of the stuff that was on Snapchat.
- 31:30Uhhuh, yeah.
- 31:31Whatever.
- 31:31Yeah.
- 31:31Um, so there was three girls from the local high school mm-hmm.
- 31:36That invited a fourth friend.
- 31:39Right.
- 31:39And I think that term very loosely.
- 31:40Right.
- 31:41with them for the week to go to a lake house mm-hmm.
- 31:44Mm-hmm.
- 31:44And on the last night, the three girls tortured.
- 31:49Mm-hmm.
- 31:50The fourth friend that they invited, beat her up.
- 31:53Um mm-hmm.
- 31:54She was almost unconscious.
- 31:55They locked her in her room.
- 31:56I saw that.
- 31:56Yeah.
- 31:56Stole her phone.
- 31:58and they videoed and took pictures of the whole thing mm-hmm.
- 32:01And put it on Snapchat or whatever, social media platforms.
- 32:03My son saw it on Snapchat.
- 32:05Yeah.
- 32:05And that's how I found out about it, is because of Snapchat.
- 32:09And Jackson had already, by the time I got to him, to, this was even just like a couple hours later to talk to him about it and have those kind of conversations that you have to, he was like, yeah, I saw.
- 32:18And I'm like, oh my gosh.
- 32:20Now they were also drinking Yes.
- 32:23And parents had supplied it.
- 32:25Right?
- 32:26Yes.
- 32:26those allegedly, allegedly mean, and the news article did, I think, says that Yeah.
- 32:30That the, that the parent had.
- 32:32And they also left them there unsupervised.
- 32:35Mm-hmm.
- 32:35Which they are like Right.
- 32:37Their senior year.
- 32:38Yeah.
- 32:38And so, but like to supply the alcohol, that's just, that's not me.
- 32:43Um, I know a lot of people do that and Yeah.
- 32:47But not in my house.
- 32:48Yeah.
- 32:48Um, no judgment.
- 32:51Yeah.
- 32:51Judgment.
- 32:51Yeah.
- 32:53For this situation.
- 32:53There's total judgment.
- 32:54There's total judgment.
- 32:55And, and I'm sure that's not his intention to he was not, or she, whichever it was.
- 32:59Whoever.
- 32:59Yeah.
- 33:00Um, I'm sure didn't, I would hope didn't know that this was gonna happen.
- 33:04I would come out of retirement in fighting.
- 33:06Yeah.
- 33:07And I would.
- 33:09If it was my kid.
- 33:10Yeah.
- 33:10Like, I feel so bad for these parents of this girl, and I feel bad for the parents of like the girls that did it too, because I'm sure that's not how the girls were raised or that Right.
- 33:17They weren't intended to You.
- 33:18Hope not.
- 33:18Right?
- 33:18Yeah.
- 33:19I can't imagine beyond either side of it.
- 33:21Right.
- 33:21because I do know that all of the parents had to like shut down their, their social media accounts.
- 33:26Mm-hmm.
- 33:26Like the girls of, you know Oh, I'm sure.
- 33:28The girls that were doing the horrible things.
- 33:30Yeah.
- 33:31Um, so I can't imagine being on either side of it.
- 33:34and, you know, he took me back to like pre-k, you know, like when you had the little biters.
- 33:38Yeah.
- 33:39And so Dylan was never a biter.
- 33:40He bit me once and I bit him back and like, not hard, but like, he was like, what the heck?
- 33:44And I'm like, it hurts.
- 33:45Don't do it.
- 33:46Like, yeah.
- 33:46Yeah.
- 33:47And he never did it again.
- 33:48Yeah.
- 33:48but there was a kid in his daycare mm-hmm.
- 33:51That was a biter and he would come home.
- 33:53I mean, chomped, I mean chomped.
- 33:55Oh my gosh.
- 33:56I was, ready?
- 33:57Go in here and like Yeah.
- 33:58Fight the kid.
- 33:59Yeah.
- 34:00You're trying to handle that situation.
- 34:02I was like, I, I was like livid.
- 34:05I was friends with the daycare teacher and she's like, the parents are like, you know, so embarrassed I told her like, if this continues, like he's gonna have to leave.
- 34:10And yeah.
- 34:11I was like, oh God, I couldn't imagine.
- 34:12Then you hit yourself in the other parent's shoes so when I heard about this thought of how both parents must be feeling.
- 34:20Mm-hmm.
- 34:21And, yeah, I mean, I'm sure that's not how they tried to raise their kid and.
- 34:26From what I've read and from like, what a lot of the kids, I guess are saying, it was one girl that was doing most of the physical harm.
- 34:32Okay.
- 34:32And the other girls were recording and like laughing and, and they were participating and they were like, right.
- 34:37But she was like the ringleader.
- 34:38Yeah.
- 34:39So the others, yeah.
- 34:41With Jackson being just a little bit younger, he was just kind of on the cusp of kind of seeing it.
- 34:45Like he didn't know them.
- 34:47Now some of the people, um, he's friends with actually played lacrosse with her.
- 34:53Mm-hmm.
- 34:53Um, cause some of the girls in Jackson's grade moved up to play with the high school.
- 34:57Yeah.
- 34:57Um, so they were friends and I think that really affected them, obviously.
- 35:02Um, but yeah, it's just crazy.
- 35:05Like you said, they, they didn't raise their child to, to do these things to be this way.
- 35:09Yeah.
- 35:10I mean, you would think, um, to be on either side of that is just, I mean, where do you go from here?
- 35:16Um, I mean, again, on both sides, like do you Yeah.
- 35:21Well I know.
- 35:22Well, I would assume there's charges being pressed.
- 35:25Yeah.
- 35:25And all that kind of stuff.
- 35:27again, though, I would be very confrontational.
- 35:29Like I know I would, I would probably, would probably be arrested.
- 35:31I would be in jail.
- 35:32Like I, the girls would.
- 35:33Yeah.
- 35:33I would be in jail.
- 35:34Do we know how she, like, did the parents come home and like, we don't know that much.
- 35:40Yeah.
- 35:40Yeah.
- 35:41I would be in jail is all I I know.
- 35:43I know.
- 35:43It's, it's a crazy situation.
- 35:45Um, this happened not too long ago, in Australia.
- 35:50Oh.
- 35:50And, and the girl was like hospitalized.
- 35:53Mm.
- 35:54Um, and then there was one other incident that I think the girl died, but it's like all girls.
- 35:58And I told Dylan, I'm like, I said, if you ever find yourself, you better put a stop to it.
- 36:02Like, yeah.
- 36:02Yeah.
- 36:03You know?
- 36:04He was like, appalled.
- 36:04He was like, oh my God, I can't believe this.
- 36:06I mean, like him and his friends group is so tight and like Yeah.
- 36:09Um, and I just think boys are, I don't think that they have that mentality.
- 36:13They, they handle things so differently.
- 36:15Yeah.
- 36:15no, I don't like though, and I don't know if Jackson's done this or not.
- 36:19I would hope that he hasn't, I've never found anything like this where they fight and they'll record it.
- 36:24Yeah.
- 36:25oh yeah, there's like Instagram accounts for it.
- 36:26Um, and I mean, I don't know, I don't know if I necessarily want him in a jumping in and breaking up every fight.
- 36:33No, no, no.
- 36:34I I, but I don't want you to video it and egg it on either if you lure somebody to a place.
- 36:41Yeah.
- 36:41Like, I mean, I would hope that one he wouldn't, and maybe I'm like delusional.
- 36:45I don't know.
- 36:46I just don't feel like he's.
- 36:47That type of kid.
- 36:48I hope he's not that type of kid.
- 36:49I know.
- 36:50again, like you always like hope that your kid, again, like these parents probably hoped that their kids would never do this.
- 36:56Right.
- 36:56Right.
- 36:56I know, I, it was just, I could not imagine being those parents on either side.
- 37:00I'm sad for everybody involved in that because everything for their lives is gonna change.
- 37:05Yes.
- 37:06Don't be bullies kid.
- 37:07No, don't be jerks.
- 37:08And please, again, like I, my whole goal in life is to not raise a butt head.
- 37:12Right.
- 37:13right it needs to stop.
- 37:15Yeah.
- 37:15Like I, it's such nonsense.
- 37:16Yeah.
- 37:17Now Jackson and his friends, they are a loud group.
- 37:20They are a big group.
- 37:21They're all like really tall.
- 37:22For some reason they're all like six feet tall.
- 37:25They're active in, in everything and, but they're not bullies that I know of and I've never had an issue.
- 37:32Mm-hmm.
- 37:32But they are to each other.
- 37:33Yeah.
- 37:34And I think that's just how you were saying boys are different.
- 37:36Yeah.
- 37:36It's just the boy dynamic where they are just now an outsider.
- 37:40They will encourage them to come in and do something.
- 37:43You know, just like I've seen them, you know, break down practice, you know, do the whatever.
- 37:48But if they're in the group, they are just, I mean, rental ruthless.
- 37:52Yes.
- 37:53Yeah.
- 37:53And I think that's like a, the boy stuff.
- 37:55I think so.
- 37:56Yeah.
- 37:56It is.
- 37:56their feelings don't get hurt.
- 37:58I guess not.
- 37:59He's not, I guess not.
- 38:00But again, like I, I, I don't know.
- 38:02I, I feel so bad for Yeah.
- 38:04All the parents involved.
- 38:06I know.
- 38:06I know.
- 38:07It's, I feel awful for the girl.
- 38:09Oh my gosh.
- 38:09I hope they get whatever is coming to them.
- 38:12Mm-hmm.
- 38:13I hope they get what they deserve.
- 38:14Yes.
- 38:16And then some.
- 38:17No, that's awful.
- 38:20Oh, goodness.
- 38:21No, it's not, it's not, I mean, it's okay for us to get upset about this stuff because, I mean, it's, we have kids this age and for that stuff to, you know, be in the schools where they're going or have been, it's, yeah.
- 38:35I mean, it's terrifying.
- 38:37well, speaking of, um, court of laws, yes.
- 38:40Do you wanna do a dumb crime?
- 38:41Absolutely.
- 38:42Um, so this week was Missouri.
- 38:44It was Missouri.
- 38:46I had a few, so I'm gonna read the one that I liked.
- 38:49Okay.
- 38:50The most.
- 38:51now this is from several years ago.
- 38:52This was from 2012.
- 38:53Okay.
- 38:54Okay.
- 38:54That's not the same year you had, is it?
- 38:56I have not clue.
- 38:57Okay.
- 38:58One afternoon in May of 2012, an unnamed local man, perhaps nostalgic for the days when St.
- 39:04Louis was part of the wild West, decided to hijack a horse-drawn carriage, the kind that takes visitors on romantic tours of downtown.
- 39:12Perhaps it would've helped if he knew how to drive the carriage instead.
- 39:15Once he hijacked it, he lipped over the carriage.
- 39:18His horse carried, bravely bolted towards his stable with the driver and some military men in hot pursuits and the barn waited.
- 39:25The police and oats or whatever heroic horses get these days.
- 39:29Where did the military men, I don't know.
- 39:32There was a lot as I was just rereading that kind of like in the blurb of our book.
- 39:35That just made no sense.
- 39:37was it just like military dudes in like the park?
- 39:40No, I don't know.
- 39:41That probably wasn't the most, uh, informed.
- 39:45Have you ever taken one of those horse-drawn carriage rides?
- 39:49Yeah, I think so.
- 39:51We, we did on our first wedding anniversary.
- 39:54Yeah.
- 39:54In Nashville.
- 39:55we went to the melting pot for dinner and then Nice.
- 39:57So we did that thing and like, I felt so like, uncomfortable at the time.
- 40:02It's just not my thing.
- 40:03Like I don't do like the whole like super, like romantic.
- 40:06Yeah.
- 40:07Crap.
- 40:07Yeah.
- 40:08I don't know.
- 40:08It's just not me.
- 40:09It's not your thing.
- 40:09No.
- 40:10And I'm like, Okay.
- 40:12Like, what are you supposed to do?
- 40:13Like, it feels like weird are talking because like the dunes there, like it's a carriage thing.
- 40:17People are looking at you like, and I'm like, this is dumb.
- 40:20But in the Hallmark movies it's always perfect.
- 40:22Yeah, no, like it's not perfect.
- 40:23Yeah.
- 40:24Get that.
- 40:25I get that.
- 40:26And Brian won't ride a horse and he's like, man, it makes my butt hurt.
- 40:29all of my family loved like horseback riding.
- 40:32My dad didn't really, but like, my mom and my sisters and my brother, like, were all like down to do that.
- 40:36And I'm like, give me horsepower.
- 40:37I wanted a four wheeler.
- 40:39I want something like, like horse.
- 40:41Yeah.
- 40:41The whole like gray outdoors thing is not for me.
- 40:43Not you.
- 40:43You're an indoor girl.
- 40:44I'm not.
- 40:45I mean, and I don't want to be camping or like Oh yeah, totally.
- 40:48Doing like that kind of stuff.
- 40:49Yeah.
- 40:50Yeah.
- 40:50Camping to me is in a hotel.
- 40:52Me too.
- 40:53I'm scared of horses.
- 40:55I have a fear.
- 40:56I'm not scared of him.
- 40:56I just, I don't wanna ride him.
- 40:58I, I don't wanna do that either.
- 41:01I can't remember There's an actual name for it.
- 41:02I mean, there's a name for every kind of fear.
- 41:04Yeah.
- 41:04But yeah, so I have the scared of horse fear and I think ar Aruba or Costa Rica and, there was wild horses on the beach and so Brandon went over and like was petting it and Yeah.
- 41:13Like he was like the horse whisperer.
- 41:15I mean, I kept my distance.
- 41:16I'm like, no, I'm good.
- 41:17Like you would an alligator.
- 41:18That's you.
- 41:22I get, I get us mixed up sometimes.
- 41:23So mine was different this week.
- 41:24Okay.
- 41:25Um, Jennifer Vaughn Let it not be said that we score an efficiency.
- 41:28Why do just one thing at a time when you can multitask.
- 41:31But Vaughn took efficiency to a whole new level when evening, last June when she was arrested while shoplifting at a South county Walmart.
- 41:39While searching her purse.
- 41:40Police discovered a one pot meth lab cooking in a 20 ounce soda bottle.
- 41:45Probably would've been already when she got home, if only those pesky security cameras hadn't interfered.
- 41:52Oh my gosh.
- 41:54Oh, nothing blew up though.
- 41:56In her purse.
- 41:56She had that meth to go.
- 41:58She sure did.
- 41:59Oh my gosh.
- 42:01Wow.
- 42:02Would you imagine like shopping though and like this lady's purse explodes?
- 42:08That makes no sense.
- 42:10Why did she do that?
- 42:12Yeah, I mean I obviously she's got a lot going on.
- 42:16Yeah.
- 42:16Addiction, I guess.
- 42:17Yeah.
- 42:18We'll do some crazy stuff, but yeah, I, yeah, but she In her purse.
- 42:22In her purse.
- 42:23That is, she must carry a big purse like that.
- 42:25That was inventive.
- 42:26Yeah.
- 42:28She just needs a little batch, I guess.
- 42:30And then like, is it like a 20 ounce bottle or is it like the two liter bottle?
- 42:34Um, 20 ounce.
- 42:36have you ever watched, naked and Afraid or any of the shows?
- 42:38Yes.
- 42:39You know, so they I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I would not last.
- 42:41Oh, me neither.
- 42:42Me neither.
- 42:43Um, But they're, so, they boil like a little bit of water over the thing, and then they, like, as soon as that's done, they have to like boil something else.
- 42:51I guess that was her mentality with the meth.
- 42:52Like, I wanna do this and as soon as it's done while I'm smoking it, or whatever you do with meth, I don't even know I'm gonna work on my next batch.
- 42:59Yeah.
- 42:59But I gotta go to Walmart.
- 43:01Yeah.
- 43:01Or supplies.
- 43:02Yeah.
- 43:04Oh my goodness.
- 43:05Um, yeah.
- 43:05So no Naked and afraid.
- 43:07first of all, I don't wanna get naked and fact, cause I'm the other person.
- 43:11I'm afraid that's not why the name is that way.
- 43:14But it's funny.
- 43:16But I would not, I would not last on that show I go outside and I get attacked by bugs.
- 43:21Like, I don't know.
- 43:22That's all I can think about too.
- 43:23And then naked in their places.
- 43:28Mm-hmm.
- 43:28No, me neither.
- 43:29Now they, have you ever seen'em where they drop'em off, like cold places and they give them Yeah.
- 43:34Yes.
- 43:34No, but they give them like one, like fox fur or something.
- 43:38I don't know.
- 43:40Where would you put the, I don't know.
- 43:45All right.
- 43:45So you got your dumb laws.
- 43:46I do.
- 43:47Again, I have several.
- 43:48Me too.
- 43:48Um, I'll start with this one.
- 43:50Okay.
- 43:50When you're not sure how or why one would do this, but don't inhale your pipe through your ear in Missouri.
- 44:00Or you might land in jail.
- 44:01I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
- 44:02That is some skill.
- 44:05Inhale through your ear.
- 44:06Yeah.
- 44:07what you got?
- 44:07all right.
- 44:08This is for a university city.
- 44:10Four women may not rent an apartment together.
- 44:12I saw that.
- 44:13But if they're related, they can.
- 44:16Did you see that part?
- 44:17Yes.
- 44:17But I'm like, what do you do in college?
- 44:21Well, women probably can't go to college.
- 44:25Um, I saw this one too, that clothes lines are forbidden in Columbia, but hanging on your fancy face is okay.
- 44:31Oh my gosh, that's so crazy.
- 44:33I've got theories for this one.
- 44:34Okay.
- 44:34A milkman may not run while on duty.
- 44:36And I'm thinking that this is where, that, you know, is your child The milkman's?
- 44:45My milkha.
- 44:51Oh my goodness.
- 44:54Um, in Somewhere Springs, I'm not even gonna try to say the name of this.
- 44:58You can't throw hard objects by hand.
- 45:01You throw'em by your feet.
- 45:02That's exactly what I was thinking.
- 45:04And, uh, Purdy, Missouri.
- 45:06Mm-hmm.
- 45:07Dancing is strictly prohibited.
- 45:12Okay.
- 45:13Okay.
- 45:13Well, how about if you're gonna sit on the curb in St.
- 45:16Louis?
- 45:17Don't take your bucket of beer.
- 45:18Oh.
- 45:19Cause that's illegal.
- 45:20Well, no, that's no fun.
- 45:25All right.
- 45:25And I don't know how to really pronounce the snatches.
- 45:29Maybe, um, it shall be unlawful to provide beer or other intoxicants to elephants.
- 45:36Okay.
- 45:37Um, and I did read one where they in, uh, 21 and under in Missouri, they cannot even take out the trash if there is, uh, a single empty alcohol beverage container.
- 45:51Or they can be charged with a legal possession.
- 45:54Oh my gosh.
- 45:55So you said last week that Dylan got kicked out of car's.
- 45:57Yes.
- 45:58Did you see Car's?
- 45:59The Fury?
- 46:01Yes.
- 46:01So Carolyn's is breaking without Dylan being there.
- 46:03Yes.
- 46:03Basically is what I'm hearing.
- 46:04Yes.
- 46:04Didn't have kicked him out.
- 46:05So he got kicked out last Friday.
- 46:07Today is Saturday.
- 46:09Um, so yesterday there were the videos just filling everybody in, um, videos and pictures of the Fury, which is their main rollercoaster house.
- 46:17Yes.
- 46:18cracked at the top of one of the support beams where the support beam connects to the track.
- 46:25Did you see the videos of it was taken back and it was just Yes.
- 46:30Yes.
- 46:30And there's like photos like from days prior of the crack.
- 46:35Yes.
- 46:36And they're supposed to be inspected daily.
- 46:37I know.
- 46:38The only, and I, I, I don't know, I'm not trying to take up for these people, but Okay.
- 46:42So, you know, you see something and it's little and then, you know, it just gradually gets big.
- 46:46Yeah, no, that didn't happen.
- 46:48Did you see that?
- 46:48They wrapped it with like saran wrap, reef wrap or something.
- 46:51Oh my God.
- 46:53And then of course, all the southern rednecks are putting like, just putting duct tape on it.
- 46:58It's crazy.
- 47:00Yeah.
- 47:00Um, so I was like, look, Dylan.
- 47:03And he, well, he's like, I saw that.
- 47:05He's like, I put it on my story that Kara wins can whatever.
- 47:10Um, so yeah, that's bad.
- 47:13That could have been very, very bad.
- 47:15Um, so several years ago, like Dylan, Brandon, I used to go with Dylan.
- 47:18Yeah.
- 47:19and so Brandon being a welding engineer, before all of mm-hmm.
- 47:23Like that went to school for I didn't know that.
- 47:25Yeah.
- 47:25He's got his, you know, welding engineering degree or whatever, and we would be on the rollercoasters and like, we'd be going up and he'd be like, that's a bad weld.
- 47:32Oh, that's a bad weld.
- 47:34And I'm like, don't.
- 47:36Tell me these things.
- 47:37No, probably sitting next to him, I'm like, will you stop it?
- 47:41Yeah, no.
