- 5:55Polish my boots back in like 2005 was the last time.
- 6:02Actually, no, I take that back because I did Polish my boots
- 6:05for my cowboy boots for Michael's graduation.
- 6:10It was probably a brown Polish. It is brown.
- 6:12Polish. Yeah, see.
- 6:13Completely fucking different. That's right.
- 6:16I mean, Brady, that wasn't that and that wasn't bound.

- 6:37There you go, there's. Crowd boy, there you go.
- 6:39Sarge, there's your hands. What's going on, Brady?
- 6:46Not a whole lot just got done holding like a laundry.
- 6:51Boring. You see how I look like I'm high
- 6:56right now, are you? This is the way I've been all
- 7:01day after drinking that cup of coffee at 10:00 this morning.
- 7:04I was going to say, you know. Sounds like you need real coffee
- 7:09instead of mushroom coffee. I it was mixed with real coffee.
- 7:15That doesn't mean shit. Wait, Larry, you had mushroom
- 7:20coffee? I well, he had he had healthy
- 7:26mushroom coffee like. The edible kind.
- 7:29I was excited, but he's acting like he had the like the
- 7:32psilocybin kind. So, you know, who really knows?
- 7:37I mean, it's Larry. You'd never.
- 7:39Know exactly you never, hey, you never know with me and and
- 7:43Speaking of Speaking of mushrooms so the wife showed me
- 7:47a video and this, this lady and her husband rushed their dog to
- 7:54the vet's office because they'd eat a wild mushroom and they
- 7:58thought their dog was going to die and they had to they wound
- 8:00up paying $141.00 just to find out their dog was high no.
- 8:04So OK couple of years ago we partake and my my boyfriend has
- 8:15a medical card and so he had some stuff and we set it to the
- 8:22side and like our male dogs never got into anything.
- 8:26Thank. You for the tiny dining bro.
- 8:28He ate the bash and it it got him high.
- 8:36We didn't know what was wrong. Like he wouldn't stop staring.
- 8:39He wasn't like responding like we thought he was, like in
- 8:42shock, like paralysis and coming to find out he was just hot.
- 8:47My cat. His defense, he's only on a dog.
- 8:50Once. In his defense, it's only an 11
- 8:53LB. He's only an 11 LB dog.
- 8:56Like if I blow smoke in this face, he's down for a couple of
- 9:00hours. Not.
- 9:03That I would do that on purpose, but I have accidentally before
- 9:06he walked up to me and I didn't know.
- 9:09So I'm in a legal state and I had accidentally left a nug out
- 9:20on in a baggie out on my table. Left the house, came back, it
- 9:26was chewed through and my cat Ozzy ate it.
- 9:32Not all of it, just a little bit.
- 9:35Squishy, squishy. And I came back and he was just,
- 9:39I called the vet and I'm like, yeah, so my cat ate my, you
- 9:44know, and they're like, oh, he'll be fine.
- 9:47If it wasn't that much, he'll be fine.
- 9:48You don't need to bring him in unless he's like vomiting or
- 9:51like going to sleep for a very long time.
- 9:56He'll be fine. So, but he was cheeched out of
- 9:58his mind. Oh yeah.
- 9:59No, so was my dog. And the whole reason we were
- 10:02scared is because about two weeks before this happened, we
- 10:06had an 18 year old Maltese that had a blood clot on his brain
- 10:11stem. And he like stopped being able
- 10:14to eat and drink and all that stuff.
- 10:16And we were worried that like something might have happened to
- 10:19Pip to come to find out he was fine.
- 10:22He was just gone. Braddy, I am actively feeding
- 10:29and trying to catch that kitten that is marked.
- 10:32With the mini muddy. A Mama cat had two kittens
- 10:38underneath my back stairs. No.
- 10:40One of them. Is marked just like Loki is.
- 10:46Which looks just like my cat. So I am catch that kitten it is
- 10:53eating. So it's eating the food that I
- 10:56keep putting out and water and drinking the water.
- 11:00That's good. How low key?
- 11:02I said. He's a dog.
- 11:04He's laying on the floor right now.
- 11:06Look, he's living his best life. Hold on.
- 11:08Oh, it may not work because I have the background on.
- 11:11Yeah, it won't. I won't be able to show you.
- 11:12But he's he's stressed out on the floor, on the side.
- 11:15Yeah. So leaping with his eyes halfway
- 11:18open, because that's what he does.
- 11:20Fair. Yeah, go laugh real quick, you
- 11:27want? To say hi, couldn't say hi, I'll
- 11:32add do a say say hi and here he is.
- 11:35Oh, he's such a good. Boy, he's like I will come say
- 11:39hi. He's.
- 11:40A Loki look at his face, he's just like.
- 11:45I know he's like Cuddle's dad. Give me all the cuddles.
- 11:50I was on the phone with my brother earlier, right?
- 11:53And Lucky's sitting there, he's growling at me and everything
- 11:56like this far from my face, like play with me, give me love, play
- 12:00with me just. And my brother goes.
- 12:03If I didn't know any better, I would think that dog was
- 12:06vicious. So a friend of mine had her
- 12:09farewell live tonight, which is why I'm a little late.
- 12:12And it was a big, like, we were trying to determine whether she
- 12:17was Faye or not, right? And we had like, prosecution and
- 12:20lawyers and all that stuff. And her dog, whenever her dog
- 12:25would be like, on trial and her dog would make any noise, Pip
- 12:28and Leia would both come in and jump on the bed.
- 12:30And I'm like, that's it. That definitively proves it.
- 12:34And she has a corgi. So did.
- 12:39Your lights. Turn off.
- 12:41My TV turned off so the costume light is gone.
- 12:49Yeah, that's how my brain works. You need a bath.
- 13:01You need to let me wash you. Yeah, you do.
- 13:08You stink. The problem is I need help
- 13:10because I can't really put him in the bathtub and when I tried
- 13:15to wash him with the water hose last.
- 13:16Time he drugged me inside so. You take him out back and you
- 13:21use the sprayer nozzle on the water hose but you get a kid
- 13:26sized pool. He don't go in it.
- 13:29Toys and stuff in there. He won't go in a kid sized pool.
- 13:33You have to listen. It takes time, right?
- 13:36You have to work like get bring the pool out and just let him
- 13:40like sniff it, right? Or Hartley and then.
- 13:44Put toys in it and have them retrieve them and then just have
- 13:46them fucking stand in there and then fill it up.
- 13:49But don't make him get in like it's a whole step process.
- 13:51You can do it. I believe in you.
- 13:57Thank. You ratty, where are you at

- 14:28overgrown again. It's rained every day since I

- 15:33I don't know what the flash goals are until it start on

- 17:30I'll take it out in the morning. Are you asking me or us both of.
- 17:36You. They're fine, no dirty.
- 17:39Mine's OK. I mean, kind of fairly good day,
- 17:44other than it's kind of gloomy out.
- 17:47I mean, it's been raining for like the last fucking week.
- 17:54Well I, I I'll tell you how my day started.
- 17:58I got up fed dogs, wasn't expecting my father-in-law to be
- 18:02here till about 10:00. He showed up a little bit after
- 18:068:00 this morning to carry me to Walmart to get a tire for my
- 18:12truck because I had a blowout yesterday on the way to Walmart
- 18:18to get a tire and to get the wife a coffee.
- 18:20So I had to leave my truck sitting in the parking lot of
- 18:23the freaking coffee shop all night last night.
- 18:25So I had to go change the tire this morning.
- 18:29Fun fun so this see if I can my nice big air conditioner.
- 18:34I don't know if I can bring it on here.
- 18:37Let me not let me hold it. Let me just turn that off.
- 18:39Let me just do this make it easier turn off the background.
- 18:45Why it's not letting me do it OK, add cool all right, so
- 18:54cancel that. So this I went to plug it in the
- 18:59other day and now mind you I only bought this last year and
- 19:03it gets no power. Oh no.
- 19:08Yeah, that I paid like $300.00 for that air conditioner last
- 19:12summer. What brand is that?
- 19:16It is a Madea. I bought it at Ollie's Madea
- 19:23last summer and so now I'm have to RIP it apart and see if
- 19:26there's an interior fuse that it possibly may have.
- 19:29Blown you you don't have a reset button on the plug itself.
- 19:37I do and I flipped it five times.
- 19:39It is not working and I plugged it into three different outlets.
- 19:44Well then. Yeah.
- 19:46Boy, if you. I only bought it last year and
- 19:49it works. I bought it probably August last
- 19:54year, July or August and it worked perfectly fine.
- 20:00When I moved out of that house down there.
- 20:02I picked it up over the weekend before all the storms, plugged
- 20:07it in and nothing. Oh no.
- 20:14Yeah. Good.
- 20:15Could it have been dropped? No, not unless the boys dropped
- 20:20it bringing it in here, but I didn't hear them drop anything.
- 20:25I literally just bought one. It's still in a fucking I'm.
- 20:30Still in the box. It's still in the box.
- 20:34That's why I asked what brand. I don't even know what fucking
- 20:37brand this is, but now that makes me worried because mine's
- 20:42a poor one too. Yeah, I, I don't know, it kind
- 20:49of bothers me because this air conditioner is good enough to
- 20:52keep the entire downstairs cool. Right.
- 20:58What up, Taylor? Hey, Taylor.
- 21:02OK, I know, I know. By about this one for the
- 21:05downstairs too, like we have AAC unit upstairs but it's older and
- 21:12it's a window unit, you know? I have.
- 21:15There's one in Michael's room already.
- 21:16I just have to put it in the window, one in Ashland's room,
- 21:20which I'm probably just going to take that one out and shut that
- 21:22door. And then I have one in my car
- 21:27that I bought for Michael last year and then two more on my
- 21:30back porch have. You got so many. 4 window units
- 21:36doing good tonight Taylor, how are you?
- 21:41But I was really counting on this one.
- 21:44Shoot, we only bought last year. Is there a warranty on it or?
- 21:52Maybe, but I'm. Where'd you buy it from?
- 21:55Ollie's what? The hell was that?
- 21:58Oh, Aldi's. No Ollie OLL i.e.
- 22:02S. I don't know what that.
- 22:04Is it's like a thrift superstore like they have all the name
- 22:13brand stuff, but like half price and cheaper.
- 22:16OK. They sell everything from like
- 22:18clothing to food to yeah, it's a discount store clothing to food
- 22:22to you can buy flooring or rugs or furniture, lawn mowers a lot
- 22:27of times. OK, I probably.
- 22:31Probably have a warranty. Somewhere, but I don't know
- 22:33where it's at. You don't go in the trash, you
- 22:42know better. Oh, I love Ollie's too.
- 22:47Yeah, we just got 1 here and I haven't walked into it yet
- 22:50because we also got a ALDI Adli. Yeah, Aldi's.
- 22:58And I won't never step foot back into one here again.
- 23:01Aldi's is good. All right.
- 23:03So like that's how I stock up my cabinets is with Aldi's.
- 23:09Well so they bought the bought Winn-dixie out OK when Dixie
- 23:24here had a pretty big store and soon as the store closed they
- 23:37come in and remodeled before they opened the place.
- 23:45And the store that they've got here is now 1/3 of what the
- 23:50actual store was. And me and the wife went in
- 23:58there and we walked down 1 aisle and.
- 24:01So. They had Feral and stuff up
- 24:03there and then I look over and there's hair brushes and stuff.
- 24:08Always. And if we go over to another
- 24:11aisle and there's cereal on that aisle, nothing is.
- 24:15Nothing is with everything they've got.
- 24:18OK, so all over the store. So you watch The Fat
- 24:22Electrician. All right, I'm going to send you
- 24:27a look YouTube link where he's talking about Aldi's and how,
- 24:32why, how and why they have the store set up the way they do.
- 24:37It's pretty good. It's funny as hell too.
- 24:42Well, the, the store, the the Dixie store here that they moved
- 24:47into was about, are you done? I want to say about 1000 square
- 24:59feet. Yeah.
- 25:03And the part that they have open as a store now that they
- 25:12remodeled is probably about 2000 square feet, if it, if that.
- 25:18Yeah. And I and I don't like the
- 25:23attitude of the cashiers there. Yeah, I could.
- 25:29All the all the folks that worked for winn-dixie, they
- 25:32fired all of them. Yeah, and got new people in
- 25:38there and their attitudes, just royally so.
- 25:40That that is a small ALDI. So I like ALDI like I said I I
- 25:47use it to fill up like my pantry right.
- 25:51However, I will not buy fresh meat from Aldi's at all.
- 25:57Too many times have I went to buy like ground beef or steaks
- 26:03or pork chops or whatever and it has been rotten when I bought
- 26:13it. And one of them one time, one
- 26:15ALDI I went to in North Carolina, I had a damn fit dude
- 26:19because I bought they had like the little 4 packs of the frozen
- 26:23pizzas right? The little deep dish pizzas box
- 26:27popped it in the oven right? I didn't look at it, I just
- 26:30popped it in the oven. Went to go cut it up dude and it
- 26:33had a Roach frozen in the cheese.
- 26:37I lost my shit. That's just, that's just nasty.
- 26:43Yeah, it's gross. I only go to all these for
- 26:50pantry staples too like. Yeah, I just, I use it to fill
- 26:53up my pantry, that's all. And another.
- 26:56I've had good fruit before and veggies but.
- 27:00There is ALDI in Lexington, NC. Another thing I don't like about
- 27:06them is having to pay. Having to pay for your freaking
- 27:17shopping cart to walk around in there.
- 27:19So, OK, so here, all right, so there's a Kroger off brand store
- 27:25here called Ruler every. It's all like Kroger products
- 27:29and everything else, right? They do the same thing, save a
- 27:33lot in Cleveland. You have to put 1/4 in for your
- 27:36cart, but they do that so they don't have to pay people to go
- 27:40out and pick up their carts. Thank you, Brady.
- 27:44You know what I mean? They actually, the way they have
- 27:46their store set, that was the way they set everything up.
- 27:48They keep costs down so much. That's how they can give such
- 27:53big discounts on their food products.
- 27:57This one here don't have no discount on squat.
- 28:00Most of their stuff isn't it. Most of their stuff is generally
- 28:03cheaper than everywhere else. That's why I use them for pantry
- 28:07staples a lot. Well, I I found it.
- 28:11I was going to grab a bag of cereal while I was in there and
- 28:18it's cheaper at Walmart. Is it?
- 28:21Yeah, by a dollar. OK.
- 28:27Hey, Carissa. 12 seconds. I need one more heart.
- 28:31Me. Now they did have.
- 28:33I can send you one. No, you can only send one.
- 28:37The hey Carissa, the only thing, the only thing I can good about
- 28:42them is they actually have frozen dog treats there.
- 28:46Yeah, thanks. Yeah, something.
- 28:54So the way this town is set up that I'm in, right.
- 28:57So if you go across Kings Highway is Schnucks, which is
- 29:01like the big grocery store and they've got every damn thing in
- 29:05there. Hey, Ginger, I'm sorry.
- 29:07What is it called? Schnucks.
- 29:10Schnucks never heard of that. But they have like everything,
- 29:16they got a full on liquor store in there and the whole 9 you go
- 29:19across the street, there's Aldi's and then there is a
- 29:22Walmart grocery, just grocery store.
- 29:25And then on the other side of that is a ruler food.
- 29:30And then right up about two blocks is save a lot.
- 29:36We don't got none of that up here.
- 29:40Yeah, well, so the big Walmarts across town, but this little
- 29:43Walmart just does like food and stuff like that.
- 29:45It's a Walmart Neighborhood Market.
- 29:48Yep, it's not a supercenter. They don't sell anything in
- 29:53there but food and like stuff you'd find in a normal grocery
- 29:56store, your meds and dog treats and stuff like that.
- 30:00So I have one of those two here in town and it's called Tom's
- 30:05Food Bride. And the man who owns it, he owns
- 30:10one here in town and the next town over, which is 10 minutes
- 30:13away. And he literally hardcore takes
- 30:16advantage of because I live in a, like we've talked about this.
- 30:24I live in a community where there's a lot of elderly people
- 30:28and he literally takes advantage of these people because it's the
- 30:35only way that they can get their groceries.
- 30:38I mean, and like me, I, I'm a single mom and I don't want to
- 30:42drive. Sometimes I don't.
- 30:44I don't have the time to drive 30.
- 30:47Minutes. To go to a Walmart or go to a
- 30:50big box store like Aldi's, Walmart, Target, whatever.
- 30:55So I'll go here in town to the grocery store, and I'm telling
- 30:58you, I paid almost $9 for a thing of fucking Hellman's mail.
- 31:03So you remember that, Larry? You remember that little town?
- 31:08I was in East Prairie before I moved here, yes.
- 31:12So E Prairie is a town of like 250 people and they have one
- 31:18small store, the closest town of Sykes.
- 31:22Then it's about 1/2 hour away. And I did the same thing, $9.50
- 31:27for a thing of Hellman's dude, I bought.
- 31:29So right before I moved here, I bought a a dozen and a half,
- 31:34eighteen eggs, $13. Jesus.
- 31:40For a dozen and a half eggs and I wouldn't have bought them if I
- 31:42didn't need them. So I paid. $7.42.
- 31:47Cents today for a dozen eggs. Milk in that store is close to
- 31:51$7.00 for a gallon of milk. Yes.
- 31:56I went to go buy 2 avocados and when I saw the price of them I
- 32:00told them to kick rocks. It was $8 for two avocados.
- 32:05That's because you know what? That's.
- 32:10Because what? Nope, I'm gonna leave it.
- 32:17Well, I I'm actually fixing to start going over to a friend of
- 32:23mine's house to get eggs because I don't like the prices in the
- 32:28grocery store. Eggs are getting ridiculous.
- 32:32Dude, Larry, you know what, in my town, our town, whatever,
- 32:38just approve that we can have chickens in town like no more
- 32:44than 8. And my uncle just bought 12
- 32:50chicks and built a little, you know, hen house and whatever.
- 32:57And I'm honestly, I'm thinking about it, but I'm like, I don't
- 33:01know if I really want to, if I have the time for that, but it'd
- 33:05be so much fucking cheaper. Well, I can, you don't.
- 33:09Need a whole lot of space for him either.
- 33:11No, if you get if you get 8 chicks, you only.
- 33:19You only actually need a pen. That's like like a A10 by 10 and
- 33:33depending on I don't know if you have a.
- 33:38No, I'm not taking you outside. I'm giving you your sweet
- 33:40potato. No.
- 33:45A feed store there. It is I.
- 33:50Thought about Tractor Supply and stuff like that.
- 33:51I'm talking about a home home locally owned and operated feed
- 33:55store. Oh, I got plenty of them around
- 33:58here. I live out in the country area.
- 34:04Well see it's it's close. To back, are we?
- 34:0850 LB bag of laying man at Tractor Supply and I can go over
- 34:15to cash and carry feeds and get a £50 bag of grow or layer mash
- 34:25for 9 bucks and 50 lbs will let's see, £50 will probably get
- 34:36you about 3 weeks with eight to 10 chickens.
- 34:40Yeah, that's about right. So they kind of take care of
- 34:46their self. If you get a a hanging feeder
- 34:51and what and a hanging water, you can fill that water up once
- 34:56a day and that should be enough water for them for the for 24
- 35:00hours. And then when you fill up the
- 35:03hanging feeder, that's usually good.
- 35:06And and for that many chickens, you could probably get by for
- 35:09two days on the large hanging feeder.
- 35:14Yeah, that sounds good, right? So, but let's just let's just
- 35:19say that that that y'all's feed store is around 20 bucks for
- 35:23that bag. It's only 10 bucks for that bag
- 35:28here, or 988 I think it is. Yeah, that's what that's what I
- 35:32pay for it. I'm talking about like a Tractor
- 35:35Supply or something. I have a fluid supply.
- 35:39Once you once you get once, once they get up to where they're
- 35:45laying, you'll probably wind up getting probably 4 to 5 eggs a
- 35:53day. But if you don't eat eggs every
- 35:59day, or even if you do eat eggs every day, you know 8 to 10
- 36:06chickens would be a plenty for you and one other person to
- 36:11cover. Y'all in eggs?
- 36:13My mom had my. Grandmother.
- 36:15My grandmother eats three fried eggs every morning, every
- 36:22morning, and I live with her. We live together.
- 36:27So I know it would be more cost efficient for us to have
- 36:34chickens, but I just, I think I got too much going on myself
- 36:44that would be a little bit harder for me to tack on another
- 36:51chore. Well, well, you're, you're
- 36:55talking to somebody that is medically messed up as far as my
- 37:01neck, my back and stuff. But when I fell back in 2019,
- 37:14buddy of mine, I, I called him and said, Hey, look, here's how
- 37:20much I want come get all the birds get get the chicken house
- 37:24and stuff like that. You can have all of it for this
- 37:27price. So he come got them.
- 37:31But when he come to the house I had, I had 40 chickens, about
- 37:38150 quail trio good. Dude.
- 37:46A trio of her four kids and her husband.
- 38:19Damn. And, and let me tell you if you
- 38:23can ever get quail eggs, if you can ever get quail eggs, which
- 38:27which they're kind of expensive in a lot of places.
- 38:32But do you want to? You want to make food look super
- 38:35fucking fancy? Put them teen ton little fried
- 38:37quail eggs on there. I love quail eggs but I could
- 38:40not find them around here. I like pickled quail eggs.
- 38:43Oh I love. I buy from a farmer.
- 38:47Zarge, I've actually got a pair of scissors that's made
- 38:52specifically for opening up a quail egg so you don't bust the
- 38:56yolk. Oh, I have one of those too.
- 38:59But what I would do is I had a special pan.
- 39:05It's like a like a four inch, 4 inch pan I think it was.
- 39:11Yeah. And I would crack 10 quail eggs
- 39:15and put them in that pan and cook it so every bite of my egg
- 39:18sandwich had a yolk in it. Oh nice.
- 39:25My daughter. OK so I love them too, but my
- 39:28daughter calls them. She will not.
- 39:30Here's the thing, she always wants yolk eggs.
- 39:34That's what she calls them. Oh she basically wants a fried
- 39:39egg but with it super yoki. But she will not eat the whites.
- 39:44She only wants that Yoki part to dip.
- 39:48Her. Toast in, but then she will
- 39:52refuse to eat the white part. But hear me out.
- 39:57She loves scrambled eggs. She will eat a fried egg, like
- 40:02on a sandwich, on a burger. But she goes, mom, can you make
- 40:07me some yoki eggs? I'm like, girl, eggs are
- 40:13expensive. You're not going to waste.
- 40:15These whites, OK? They're gross, she says.
- 40:21And I'm like, I've seasoned them.
- 40:24I've tried to do everything, but she goes, well, they look weird
- 40:27and they feel weird. And I'm like, but you would
- 40:30rather eat the yolk out of all the things.
- 40:33That's what you like and you're will.
- 40:35She like, will she like a frittata or something?
- 40:38I've never made her a frittata. I got a really good spinach and
- 40:47feta frittata recipe you. Might have to send me that.
- 40:52And it's simple too. So my oldest and I are still on
- 40:59what we were earlier today. I kept him home from school so
- 41:02we can still have a me and him day.
- 41:06And this morning I was like, what do you want for breakfast
- 41:09bud? And he goes, well, I want an
- 41:12omelette with ham, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes,
- 41:20onion. And I'm like, oh bud.
- 41:22OK, all right. So I had to go to the store and
- 41:28I made this stuffed ass omelet and he was so excited about it.
- 41:35But he goes, you didn't leave it running in the middle And I'm
- 41:38like, it's not supposed to be running in the middle.
- 41:43And he goes, well that's how I like it.
- 41:46So I ate it but I'm like OK. I had a trick for that too.
- 41:53I'm terrible at making an omelet the right way because I put too
- 42:01much shit in it. I just gave Loki a sweet potato
- 42:06and it has tore up all over my couch.
- 42:13What kind of couch do you have? Oh, fake.
- 42:17Oh, he's ruined the couch anyway.
- 42:18It's like it was, it's a futon, but it's like one of those like
- 42:22fake leather deals and he's ripped all the fake leather off
- 42:26of it. Oh no.
- 42:30And now there's sweet potato all over it.
- 42:34See, I have a real leather couch.
- 42:37Whenever my kids make a mess I can just wipe that shit right
- 42:40off. Oh, I mean I can.
- 42:43Dalton, you doing all right tonight, dude?
- 42:52So George Dalton and Smokey is another veteran and service dog
- 42:57team. They can come in, they'd like
- 43:00to. I'll give him a follow.
- 43:04I'm actually sending invites. I was trying to follow but it's
- 43:08not letting me. He he may, I guess he may have
- 43:14dropped. Oh no, he's it says he's in
- 43:16here. I just gave him a follow all.
- 43:18Right. Well that's like Frank and
- 43:20Squirrel. We still talk quite a bit even
- 43:22though he left the app. He only lives like 3 hours for
- 43:26me too. How do you know when people are
- 43:29in? Like, who's in the live?
- 43:32Can only you see that? No, if you go up next to oh,
- 43:37that's. Right I'm.
- 43:38Sorry, isn't that right next to the like?
- 43:40Leave the live button. You can click that and it'll
- 43:43tell you who's in. It's not always accurate.
- 43:49Well the the thing unless they have unless they thing turned
- 43:55on. If they don't have their
- 43:59rankings turned on, you won't see.
- 44:02Right. Thank you for the rules.
- 44:04You're welcome. OK, I get what you're saying.
- 44:09No. All right.
- 44:13I'm sorry, Sarge, He was firing EMS. Yeah, no.
- 44:15I see that no. Worries, Cowboy come back in the
- 44:18box. Is he gone again?
- 44:34I don't know. Yeah, I, I.
- 44:36Yeah, he's going in. I think he's scrolling through.
- 44:40Probably, you know, he, he kind of had a rough day.
- 44:45I think it was yesterday, Sarge, you weren't in there, but.
- 44:55Well, I hate to talk about him if he's not here.
- 45:01He was in Suites's live yesterday.
- 45:08I don't know who that is so. It's my team leader for the
- 45:10agency. Oh.
- 45:16OK. Oh yeah, Let me know when you
- 45:17fill out that application so I can tell them to look out for
- 45:20it. I, I probably I'll probably wind
- 45:23up doing it tomorrow, dude, when I can that's.
- 45:25Fine, that's fine. I got a ton of shit I got to do
- 45:30tomorrow. I got to get while I'm getting
- 45:31my stuff fixed. Justin, the Australian guy, I
- 45:35got to go. He sent me a bunch of videos
- 45:38where he like shows where he's getting Nanard and everything
- 45:41else. I got to package them all up,
- 45:43put them into Discord, into the agency discord so that way they
- 45:48can be sent to the TikTok point of contact that we have to see
- 45:52if they can get that shit fixed. And because that's the only
- 45:55reason he hasn't been able to join because he keeps getting
- 45:57banned so much. He literally said somebody's
- 45:59name and alive and got kicked off 30 seconds later.
- 46:05Well, you know, I've got, I had three videos, got 5 all
- 46:12together, but I had three videos that were duets and they were
- 46:30removed for alcohol, alcohol, drugs and something else.
- 46:39And I'm like what's so I appealed them yesterday and and
- 46:46got notice that that those three were were put back up, but I've
- 46:50still got 2. The two that I did yesterday, I
- 46:55think it was one of them was the was the wolf and me.
- 47:05And I'll screenshot them later and send it to you.
- 47:09But it says that they can't. Even if I got enough people to
- 47:21to like them and comment and stuff like that, they wouldn't
- 47:24be allowed on the For you page for some reason.
- 47:28Send me a screenshot of that, let me look at it.
- 47:30I will I'm. Going to tell you now as far as
- 47:32any of that goes, I can't help you until you're in the agency.
- 47:36So in I can't go into the backstage of TikTok and look you
- 47:40up or anything until you're on in my team.
- 47:44Yeah, I know. I went through today and I did
- 47:47before about an hour before I went live, I went through and
- 47:51gave all the Aussies their stats on like their like count and
- 47:56their engagements and everything else.
- 47:58So that way they kind of knew they were they were sitting for
- 48:01the month so far. I generally try to go through
- 48:04about once a week and give everybody all that stuff.
- 48:10Hey, Crohn's work. Honey, what are you doing, dude?
- 48:18Maybe giving him sweet potato was not the smartest idea.
- 48:21I really wish I had a vacuum right now.
- 48:28I didn't need a vacuum at my last place because it was all
- 48:31wood floors. The living room, stairs and the
- 48:34boys rooms are all. Carpeted.
- 48:38So butcher's service cat. Oh, what the heck.
- 48:49You see how this cat is all? And notice I got my 18 and plus
- 49:12set. Yeah.
- 49:15This one's all like it's got like planets and shit on it.
- 49:19Nice. Not bad for 18 bucks.
- 49:26I'm just hoping I don't get hammered Friday when I go to the
- 49:33VA. My my my daughter managed to get
- 49:43a hold of flour and like 4 times a day and the whole house is
- 49:53perfumed. Fun.
- 49:58I don't, I don't even, I don't even go down the hallway to the
- 50:02master bedroom if she's doing that.
- 50:07I mean, I don't really dude. I can literally see the the
- 50:15smoke coming out from under the door.
- 50:23Yeah, I dealt with that a little bit when my daughter was here,
- 50:25but I had her open her window. But now after Friday, I'll be
- 50:34free for two months but and me and the wife has been.
- 50:55I asked her what happened. She said I don't know.
- 50:57I'll be right back. Well then I I hope she didn't
- 51:02get an answer. For what?
- 51:05I don't ask me. That's what I'm saying.
- 51:09She didn't do nothing or say. Why?
- 51:12I understand that, but when when I'm when I get my my two months
- 51:19free of not having to worry about the VA, your wife goes to
- 51:26take a shower, I go in there and I hot box the bathroom.
- 51:36Oh my Lord, the sweet potato all over my floor now.
- 51:38My couch and my floor. Oh geez, look.
- 51:42It's I have flip camera orange speckles.
- 51:49Oh geez. My couch Now don't mind the
- 51:52couch, like I said, he's kind of tore it up, but bad time that I
- 52:01have a vacuum Bob. Right.
- 52:08Little shit, he's lucky I love him.
- 52:16So bro, it's probably not going to be too much longer and I'm I,
- 52:22I probably will disappear for a little bit.
- 52:34Butch hassles all day long, even in the AC in the house.
- 52:38Yeah, well, like disappear from the live for a little bit.
- 52:47Or probably stay off of social media for a couple of days.
- 52:55You got my phone numbers, You got my.
- 52:58Facebook, I know. You have all my stuff to get a
- 53:04hold of me. I know, I know.
- 53:08I'm just saying it's just going to be kind of rough on me for a
- 53:12couple of days. I get it.
- 53:14If it comes to that. Damn it, but I get it.
- 53:20I I'm actually thinking about taking and building a.
- 53:26Box. That way, when it does come down
- 53:33to that, I'll get the vet's office to send him off and I'll
- 53:45put him in it, and then when something happens to me, the
- 53:47wife is going to put him in the box with me.
- 53:51I got you. Hey sweets.
- 53:56No, you're not going in a box with anything.
- 53:59I will drive down there and put my foot so far up your.
- 54:03Foot I'm talking about of natural, natural when, when when
- 54:13I go from natural causes, it won't be a natural, it'd be
- 54:18natural cause. Thanks for the.
- 54:20Roses. He's going to, he's going to be
- 54:24in the oh, he's going to go with me.
- 54:28What the hell does uppies mean? It means box, but I can't bring
- 54:31anybody up here that's not a vet.
- 54:33Sweets uppies means come up right be brought up into a box.
- 54:43I try. I sent the live out to her wife
- 54:46to get her in here spicy because she's a vet.
- 55:04Well please tell her to get on live and and and jump in a box
- 55:08from her side. Yeah.
- 55:14Then you can ask spicy next to you so.
- 55:16Have spicy come in next? To you.
- 55:19I don't want to break my own rules.
- 55:33Uh oh. Somebody said something.
- 55:34No, no. Yeah,
- 55:51So, Brady, what happened? I don't know.
- 55:55I was out on my smoke porch and I went inside and it cut out.
- 56:02I'm going to bring her up only because Spicy's sitting right
- 56:04next to her. And.
- 56:07Her phone's almost dead. Or spicy.
- 56:09No idea who these people are, so sure it's you.
- 56:12Sweets is my my team leader for the agency and spicy I'm
- 56:16actually under kind of both of them, sweet and spicy.
- 56:20Cute, love that. Yeah, so, but Spicy's a vet and
- 56:24I was trying, been trying to get her in here because I've been
- 56:26saying we need more female veterans in here.
- 56:29She's an Army vet too, Sweets. I just tried to bring you in.
- 56:36That I this kind. Of the.
- 56:40Two dogs that I had, I had one that.
- 56:42Was named, other one was. Named Brad.
- 56:46No, you did not lie. She is right next to you.
- 56:48Braddy, did you just come through a live?
- 56:52Did I? Yeah, a query.
- 1:25:28Absolutely. For a while.
- 1:56:25Peanut butter. I'll go.
- 1:57:33Get to do them because he didn't like them to begin with and
- 1:57:38there was a a lady that needed a bigger dog to guard her house.
- 1:57:50So we told her we had one that we thought would be good for and
- 1:57:58the deal was if she got to where she couldn't take care of him we
- 1:58:02would take him back. Well, dog was at the house, she
- 1:58:11let her Chihuahuas out while he was roaming the house and one of
- 1:58:16them bit him where the sun don't shine and he rolled them two
- 1:58:24chihuahuas up into a ball together and laid on them.
- 1:58:29And he and he weighed about 130 lbs.
