Episode 15:The Last Mrs. Parrish By Liv Constintine Book Review | Kentucky Dumb Crime & Laws | Banned from the amusement park | Big Foot?! · This Is My Circus

0:00
Hey, I'm Meredith.
0:01
And I'm Stephanie.
0:02
And welcome to This is my circus.
0:06
Amazing.
0:07
Yeah, you shot me.
0:09
There.
0:10
Sorry, we had to fix the video.
0:11
So when we upload these to, the Patreon mm-hmm.
0:14
We are.
0:16
Mm-hmm.
0:16
I kinda like this.
0:17
No.
0:21
Face so much life, life, life.
0:30
I know.
0:31
Yeah.
0:31
it's just, it's been a hard couple of days.
0:33
you know, we talk about work life balance, and that is something that I completely, 100% struggle with.
0:37
Mm-hmm.
0:38
You know, having a business working for hours and hours and hours every day.
0:42
Mm-hmm.
0:42
I mean, like, probably 15 to 18 hours every day.
0:44
Wow.
0:45
Um, and trying to balance that with spending time with Dylan mm-hmm.
0:48
And, you know, sports and mm-hmm.
0:50
not feeling like a failure as a parent.
0:52
Right.
0:53
Cause, you know, I don't.
0:54
Spend as much time as I want to.
0:56
Although he's probably happy he's 15.
0:58
He doesn't like, you know, necessarily want to like, hang out with his parents.
1:01
I just feel bad that the, the option sometimes isn't better.
1:05
Yeah.
1:05
Okay.
1:05
so with, with me working from home with my full-time job, it's very hard to separate job from home cause it's all right there.
1:13
And even though I know you do too, you have a.
1:16
Designated office space, but I mean, it's in the kitchen.
1:20
He's, but at least it's like not all over the place.
1:22
Yeah.
1:23
Like you've got a spot and usually when I'm there, I am working in, in that frame of mind.
1:27
But still, especially when Jackson was little and like, he'd go from school and if he'd be doing homework and I just keep working and keep going, no matter how many hours I had done.
1:37
Mm-hmm.
1:37
I'd be, oh, he's fine.
1:38
He's da, da da.
1:38
And I just go.
1:39
So I understand completely.
1:41
Yeah.
1:42
Trying to.
1:43
Balance it all.
1:44
Yes.
1:44
This week I just felt like a failure.
1:46
So it was, it sucked.
1:49
I think we all feel like that sometimes.
1:50
Yeah, I know.
1:51
I, because before all this, You know, I spent so much time with Dylan and again.
1:55
Mm-hmm.
1:55
He's 15 now.
1:56
He doesn't wanna spend time with me.
1:57
Right, right.
1:58
No, I mean, he does, but he doesn't.
1:59
Yeah.
1:59
He wants, he knows you're there.
2:01
Mm-hmm.
2:01
But he's got his own world now.
2:03
But he's, he's awesome.
2:04
He'll sit at, like, I've got two seats at my desk, and so he'll sit and as I'm working, he'll chat and, you know, just, he'll even just sit there and like, go on TikTok just like sitting next to me.
2:13
So just being, I have that, you know, still, he's such a mama's boy.
2:17
Yeah.
2:17
And like I.
2:18
Pray he always will be.
2:20
I'm sure he'll be, I'm sure he'll be.
2:22
But, um, you know, it's, it's hard too because we set these expectations on ourselves and we've never really talked about it in detail before.
2:31
But, you know, just like, you know, I do most of the management of the things for our household, which I think most women probably do.
2:38
So just trying to do that and then.
2:42
Something about Brian Jackson get along fine.
2:44
But he is a mama's boy.
2:46
But something about that dynamic between men and their sons, and I think most moms with sons would say, especially that oldest child, there's some battles.
2:57
Mm-hmm.
2:57
Not, not battles, but there's just a dynamic.
3:01
Dynamic.
3:01
Mm-hmm.
3:02
That's a perfect word that I could not think of.
3:04
Um, there's just a dynamic there that's just very hard to.
3:10
Put into words and, with, um, with having that only child or oldest son and then, you know, the father figure or dad or what grandpa whatever, there can be all that tension and pressure and.
3:21
You try to play mediator or so, or I do.
3:23
Mm-hmm.
3:23
I try to play mediator and again, Brian Jackson get along well, but still, there's just standards expectations that we put on him, and then it's just like a cycle and a ripple effect.
3:32
Mm-hmm.
3:32
It's just, yeah.
3:34
A mess.
3:34
I know, and like, I probably, I, I, I'm a very, um, and I think it's because, Of how Dylan, his personality is, and, and I feel like he's more mature than a lot of his peers.
3:45
but I'm not a very strict parent.
3:47
Like I, I don't need to be.
3:49
That's needed for some families.
3:51
I don't feel right now it's needed.
3:52
Right.
3:53
You know, all I can change, you know, God forbid.
3:56
But no, I feel the same way.
3:58
Like, I can remember discipline in Jackson a lot with like popping his little hands and stuff.
4:02
Mm-hmm.
4:02
Y'all don't come for me.
4:04
Um, listen, Dylan was acting up in Walmart like, Three years ago, we were with his, him and his.
4:09
We had two of his friends with him, and I took off my flip flop and hit him in Walmart.
4:12
You hit him with the flip flop?
4:13
I did.
4:14
I can't remember, there's a Spanish word for that that, that Anthony's mom always tells me to threaten with, that I'm gonna hit them with, it's like Chaka or something like that.
4:22
Anyway, yeah, when Jackson was tiny, like, I, you know, you, you have to, right?
4:25
Mm-hmm.
4:26
And these still pushes the boundaries, but yeah, I, I'm, we're really blessed with, with good kids that do it for the most, I mean, They're teenage boys.
4:34
Yeah.
4:34
I mean, he's got his moments and, you know, all kids do.
4:38
but I don't have to, police him as much as some other people might.
4:43
Agreed.
4:44
Um, agreed.
4:45
At least I hope I'm right.
4:47
We have, we had several years to go left that we're responsible for their, becoming a good human.
4:52
But, um, yeah, I know.
4:55
I agree.
4:55
I agree, Jack, I, I think, um, have always taken on more of that role.
5:00
Mm-hmm.
5:00
he was never afraid to get hit, like nothing like that.
5:02
Right?
5:03
That didn't work for him.
5:04
But when he was little, little, if you put him in his room, like to think about what he did by himself.
5:09
Yeah.
5:09
Oh my gosh.
5:10
Yeah.
5:10
Was he one of those that you could have said, I'm very disappointed and you know, Jackson too.
5:14
And that might be an only child trait because just the, the thought of disappointing.
5:20
Was is.
5:20
And it still is very real.
5:22
Yeah.
5:22
Uh, so here's a funny story about discipline.
5:24
So Dylan, you know, he did TaeKwonDo when he was little.
5:26
Yeah.
5:26
so he was like four or five.
5:28
I don't know what he did, I can't remember, but Brandon turned around and like, Smacked his leg and the child spared four days a week.
5:36
Yeah.
5:37
And so his legs were like immune to right feeling right.
5:40
And so Dylan looked down and looked up and just laughed at him.
5:46
And Brandon's like, get to your room.
5:48
And he's like, I mean, like, and he just like looked down at his leg and like looked up at Brandon and Yeah.
5:54
That's what did I do?
5:56
Well, I mean, sorry.
5:58
so then he went to his room and he, he was very, very upset cause he had to go there by himself.
6:02
But, yeah.
6:03
Well one of the things that we deal with right now is I'm not Jackson's friend, I am his mom.
6:08
Yeah.
6:08
Brian is his dad.
6:10
but I like him.
6:11
Mm-hmm.
6:11
So I love him and I like him.
6:12
So sometimes we push the boundaries with, you know, just probably letting him say things or do things or act a certain way.
6:19
Same.
6:20
sometimes he'll push it too far or I'm not, or Brian's not in the mood, and he'll continue and I'm like, that's enough.
6:28
And you know, he'll just keep not, you know, thinking this is what we always do.
6:31
I always, you know, give daddy a hard time about this, that, or give me a, you know, yeah.
6:35
Whatever it is.
6:35
And so it's, It's really hard sometimes to keep that line.
6:40
Yeah.
6:40
Mm-hmm.
6:41
I know.
6:41
Cause I'm his mama first.
6:43
Yeah.
6:44
but I do like hanging around him.
6:45
Yeah.
6:45
He's at the beach this week.
6:47
Awie lucky dog Uhhuh with Juicy.
6:49
Mm-hmm.
6:49
And, and so Juicy family went to the beach and invited both of them to go with.
6:56
So they are living their best life.
6:58
And I miss him.
6:59
Like, he's just left on Saturday and I'm like, Not that I'd even really be seeing it.
7:05
I know, I know.
7:06
It's just the fact that you can't see him.
7:08
I can't, and I'm obsessively checking his.
7:11
Life 360.
7:12
Yep.
7:13
And I'm like, what would I have done, you know, two years ago before he, you know, but, they're having a great time.
7:18
Good.
7:19
They're having a great time.
7:21
Heather sent me a picture and all of their heads, they're like riding on the golf cart and all of their heads were not looking straight.
7:27
They were all looking to the same side.
7:29
And I was like, you're looking at girls?
7:30
Pretty much was like, did a blonde just walked by?
7:33
She was like, actually it was like a cool golf cart or something.
7:36
I was like, Okay.
7:37
Whatever.
7:38
So yeah, they are golf cart with girls on.
7:42
Yeah.
7:43
Um, but yeah, they're having a great time.
7:47
Good, good.
7:47
Yeah.
7:49
Well, you know, I keep saying how I don't have to police Dylan.
7:52
I, so Friday night I was sitting on the couch and Dylan had gone to carowinds with two of his friends.
7:57
Yeah.
7:57
probably around one o'clock.
7:59
Or 12 or something like that.
8:00
Yeah.
8:01
I don't know who's there early, but they've, got this new chaperone Yes.
8:03
Role in place that starts at four o'clock.
8:05
Yes.
8:05
Which I understand and hate.
8:07
Yes.
8:07
At the same time.
8:08
So I was like, well, who you going with?
8:10
It's, you know, kids known since kindergarten, right?
8:12
Pre-K.
8:13
Yeah.
8:13
Um, I'm like, okay, cool.
8:14
And so I assumed, which you should never do that, If they were staying after four o'clock, it was gonna be one of the, uh, parents.
8:23
Right.
8:23
So I'm sitting on the couch, it was like nine 30.
8:26
Mm-hmm.
8:26
And Dylan's phone rings on my phone and you know, it says Dilly dilly.
8:30
And, I'm like, hello?
8:33
And it's a woman.
8:34
And she's like, um, are you, I'm not gonna mention the other kid's name.
8:37
Sure mom.
8:38
And I'm like, no.
8:39
And she's like, well, who's mom are you?
8:40
I said, Dylan's.
8:41
And she's like, oh, okay.
8:42
Well this is security at Carowinds.
8:45
And I was like, One, I thought like either he got hurt or Sure.
8:49
Fight when you just start saying, whose mom are you?
8:52
Yeah, that's, yeah.
8:53
So I felt immediately fight or hurt.
8:56
Or hurt and then fight.
8:57
Right?
8:58
And she's like, okay, well, um, there was an incident and I was like, okay.
9:02
She's like, well, you know, Dylan actually really didn't do anything, but he was with the group that did, um, well, and he didn't even do anything like, was like so stupid.
9:12
They got in trouble cuz of the chaperone rule, really, truly.
9:14
Mm-hmm.
9:14
But this is what started it was they were like, there was, I guess some girls at the slushie stand and Uhhuh, the other kids were, you know, saying like, oh, can give us a free slushie, da da da da.
9:24
You know, something stupid like that.
9:25
And then one of the kids, uh, walked behind like, into the like employee section of Yeah.
9:30
You know, and so, um, that's when they got in trouble.
9:34
But it, the lady was, you know, started off like, well, Dylan, is with his friends and, and they did ex she's like, well, he didn't, the other kids did guilty by association.
9:43
but you know, we have a chaperone rule in place, after 4:00 PM and, one of the kids lied and said that they were 16.
9:51
And I said, well, was it Dylan?
9:53
And she said, no.
9:54
I said, okay.
9:55
And she said, so he's banned for a year.
9:58
We just bought the tickets that morning for this, the season pass, the food plan and the drink plan, and you don't get a refund.
10:08
Oh my gosh.
10:10
So I'm like, can you put Dylan on the phone?
10:12
And so he was like, oh my God.
10:15
She's like, well, we have to call your mom.
10:16
And he was like, At least it's my mom.
10:18
Right?
10:19
Yeah.
10:20
Yeah.
10:21
And so, um, you know, and he gets on the phone and I said, what's going on?
10:25
And he's, you know, he, and he's like, but mom, like, you know, I was like, all right, we'll just talk when we get home.
10:30
Mm-hmm.
10:30
so he was like, oh, crap.
10:31
You know?
10:31
Yeah.
10:32
Talk when, get home.
10:33
Right so I was texting him.
10:34
I'm like, well that sucks.
10:35
You know, that was a whole lot of money down the drain for one day.
10:39
I said, I hope you ate at least twice and all we can do is laugh about that though.
10:44
Right?
10:44
And so he's like, I'm really sorry mom.
10:46
I'll pay you back with my savings.
10:48
And I'm like, okay.
10:49
I said, I'm just gonna take this as this is a life lesson for you.
10:51
I said, I'm glad that it wasn't you that, you know, initiated anything.
10:55
Right.
10:55
Even though it was like the stupidest stuff.
10:56
Like it's not even like something serious or you know, Um, but, you know, rules or rules and, whatever I said, take this as a life lesson.
11:03
Yeah.
11:05
Just roll with it.
11:05
You can't, go to Carowinds once for a year.
11:08
Oh, I think that's punishment enough.
11:11
But he's like, are you, are you gonna tell dad?
11:13
I'm like, well, your dad was sitting right next to me, Uhhuh when the phone call came in.
11:16
So, yes.
11:17
And he's like, is he mad?
11:18
I'm like, no.
11:18
I said, like, we both think this is stupid and, you know, take it as a life lesson.
11:22
I'm not gonna punish you anymore.
11:23
Like, no, like, You can't go to Carowinds or Scarowinds or the winter festival thing that they do.
11:28
So I'm like, that's enough of a punishment for me.
11:30
Yeah.
11:30
For you guys being goofy and also knowing that there's a chaperone rule.
11:35
Yeah, he's, well, I did say to the guys, you know, at four, 15, we should probably go and they're like, oh, nobody ever checks whatever, and so he just rolled with it.
11:45
Oh.
11:45
But I mean, he's 15 and Right, if.
11:49
That's, that's like the least of my No, I get it.
11:52
I get it.
11:52
I get it.
11:53
And he wasn't the one that did it, like I said, guilty by association.
11:56
Yeah.
11:56
And could, you know, could be way worse.
11:59
And it was a good lesson Yes.
12:00
For us.
12:00
Cause we did sit him down when he got home.
12:02
He was like, you know, like this was something goofy and dumb and, you know Yeah.
12:07
Totally could have been avoided, but.
12:09
Think of it if it was a bigger issue.
12:10
Sure.
12:11
And you're guilty by association.
12:13
Right?
12:13
Right.
12:13
So, you know, while this was, you know, goofy and, and you've known these kids forever and they're good kids.
12:19
Mm-hmm.
12:19
Um, like none of them are bad kids.
12:20
Right.
12:21
you guys, they're just stupid boys.
12:22
That's, that's what they're, so, uh, and I say that with all the love in my heart know hundred percent.
12:28
So, I mean, it was.
12:31
opportunity mm-hmm.
12:32
To reinstill.
12:35
Yeah.
12:35
Yeah.
12:36
No, that's great.
12:36
And you're right.
12:37
Let's use this as a, a teachable moment.
12:40
Nobody was hurt.
12:41
Mm-hmm.
12:41
I mean, you're out a lot of money, but I mean, yeah.
12:44
Nobody was hurt.
12:44
Nobody got in a fight.
12:45
Nobody.
12:46
It, it was just a, a bad choice.
12:48
That with all the stuff going on in the world like that is, I know, I know.
12:53
I, I get it.
12:54
But yeah, I, he'd immediately, I'm gonna pay you back.
12:56
And I guess total it's, don't worry about it.
12:58
Like that's, yeah.
12:59
Yeah.
13:00
So I have a Carowinds story too.
13:01
Oh, let's hear.
13:02
So Jackson and several of his friends, I don't even remember who it was at this point, went and they got there at 11, 12, something like that, met up.
13:09
Same thing.
13:09
I was like, well, another mom will be there.
13:12
Cause I don't even have a pass.
13:14
Mm-hmm.
13:14
Either, which I guess I have gonna have to get one if I'm gonna have to be the mom.
13:17
But anyway, so, um, they are there and I told Jackson, I was like, I'll come get you at, you know, meet me right here at four or four 10, whatever.
13:27
I'll get there as close as I can.
13:29
And he was like, okay, well I get this text later in the day and he's like, Don't worry about coming at four.
13:33
There's another mom here.
13:35
And you know, the rule is that like one parent can have like 10, I think kids under her care and she doesn't have to, or he parent.
13:44
Yeah.
13:44
Adult, whatever does not have to be with them.
13:46
They just have to be on the premises.
13:48
Yeah.
13:49
And I was like, okay.
13:51
I mean, sure.
13:53
Mm-hmm.
13:53
Cool.
13:54
Working away, as I said.
13:56
They get in the car after I went and picked him up later, and I was like, cool, did y'all have fun?
14:00
And they're like, yeah, we made a new friend and there were three of them in this particular group that had Jackson and two more.
14:06
And I was like, alright, cool.
14:08
It was not a hot mom, if that's what you're thinking.
14:11
I was like, okay, good.
14:13
You know, whatever.
14:15
Sure.
14:16
Um, And so they, they, I'm like, oh, well, tell me about this friend dog.
14:24
We met him on Gold Rush.
14:25
Well, you, that's a pretty small rollercoaster.
14:27
Mm-hmm.
14:27
It's not like one of the big ones that they have everybody runs to.
14:30
And I'm like, okay.
14:31
I mean, I still like that ride.
14:32
And they're talking about it and da da and um, it's like, how old, who was this kid?
14:37
How they told me his name and he was like, Seven years old.
14:41
No, Jackson and all his friends are, you know, 14 ish.
14:44
Yeah.
14:44
And I was like, okay.
14:45
And they're like, we, we hung out with him and his mom the rest of the day.
14:49
So I don't know if their intention was to make friends with the kid that had a parent there so they could like be their parent.
14:58
Mm-hmm.
14:59
Or if their intention, it just happened that way.
15:01
Yeah.
15:01
Because they can be pretty chatty with kids sometimes.
15:04
Yeah.
15:04
So I was like, thats actually Genius.
15:08
Yeah.
15:08
That they did that.
15:09
Yeah.
15:09
Because then they just, and the mom told them when they left, she was like, I don't know the kid's name, but like, junior had such a great day today.
15:16
He was gonna talk about this forever.
15:17
You know?
15:18
I'm sure he thought he was super cool riding with the big kids, so, I know our kids are, are not like creepers.
15:25
Yeah.
15:25
Yeah.
15:26
But if that was me, like, I'd be like, uh, y'all need to go.
15:29
I know.
15:30
Yeah.
15:30
I know.
15:30
And I, I don't know.
15:31
I watched too much kids.
15:33
I, I know.
15:34
I know.
15:34
Same, same.
15:35
But you never know.
15:36
You just never know.
15:37
Yeah.
15:37
But I guess because they were like walking with her and talking to her mm-hmm.
15:41
She was like, Okay with them just standing in line.
15:44
I mean, I would've been thinking they're gonna set my kid up, they're gonna leave my kid, they're gonna put it something, they're gonna hold them or something, I was, I was a little shocked, but then I was like, that's kinda genius for them to have just Yeah.
15:56
Done that.
15:56
So, He's, like I said, he's out of town for the week, living his best life.
15:59
I know they went to ride go-karts today and um, you know, just here living the dream myself.
16:06
are you going on like any good dates or anything?
16:08
I'm sure we.
16:09
Might maybe, uh, we'll see Sams Club, Costco.
16:14
Brian was like, the other day, let's, let's go somewhere.
16:17
I was like, I don't wanna drive anywhere.
16:18
Like I just, yeah, it's blah.
16:20
Mm-hmm.
16:21
I just get in these funks sometimes where I'm just Yeah.
16:24
Like even hard to get out of bed.
16:25
And I have like a mild depression.
16:27
Mm-hmm.
16:28
Um, and sometimes it was worse than others and sometimes I don't even wanna get out of the bed, so I was having like a, some internal funk going on.
16:36
but.
16:37
I'm better today.
16:38
Yay.
16:39
Seeing your face.
16:39
And Rex, he's, he's just sleeping.
16:43
He's snoozing.
16:45
but speaking of being in a funk mm-hmm.
16:47
Did you read the book?
16:48
Yes.
16:48
Okay, so the book was called The Last Mrs.
16:51
Parish.
16:51
Yes, I live Constantine.
16:53
Correct.
16:54
Why don't you, why don't you give us some scoop about that.
16:56
Okay.
16:57
So the little blurb from Amazon, Amber Patterson is fed up.
17:00
She's tired of being a nobody, a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background.
17:05
She deserves more a life of money and power.
17:07
Like the one blonde haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parish to everyone In the exclusive town of Bishop Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne, a socialite and philanthropist.
17:16
And her real estate mogul husband Jackson are a couple straight out of a fairytale.
17:20
Amber's Envy could eat her alive if she didn't have a plan.
17:24
Amber uses Daphne's compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family's life, the first step in a miticulous scheme to undermine her before long.
17:32
Amber is Daphne's closest confidant traveling to Europe with the parishes and their lovely young daughters, and growing closer to Jackson.
17:39
But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked toward, and if it's discovered her well laid plan will fall to pieces.
17:48
So, first of all, did you know there's a prequel to this book?
17:52
Yes, I'm reading it right now.
17:52
Are you?
17:53
Yes.
17:53
Okay.
17:54
So the prequel is about Amber, right?
17:56
Mm-hmm.
17:57
Her, yeah.
17:57
Everything before she, before the book?
18:00
Yes.
18:00
This book, the last book, she like insinuates, like these things from her past Yeah.
18:03
Throughout the book.
18:04
But you don't know what they are.
18:05
Yeah.
18:06
So I I was looking up other books cause I liked her style.
18:09
Yeah.
18:09
so I was just looking up other books that she had written and I saw that.
18:12
Mm-hmm.
18:12
And I was like, Ooh.
18:13
So it's not on audiobook, like on Oh, you have to read it.
18:15
Read it, yeah.
18:16
Or listen to, um, uh, Alexa.
18:19
Yeah.
18:21
But, um, I.
18:23
Maybe a third of the way in.
18:24
Yeah.
18:25
Well, and let me just say, I like to read books sometimes.
18:28
I just have more time.
18:29
I can multitask.
18:30
But anyway, we can go down that rabbit hole later.
18:32
Um, I'm gonna have to read that cause I'm very excited to hear some of that backstory.
18:37
Mm-hmm.
18:38
I really liked that this book was from Two Points of View.
18:41
Yes.
18:42
It was really interesting because they switched even narrators.
18:47
Mm-hmm.
18:48
at the beginning of the audiobook, it read by and I gave the, the two people and I kept waiting for that second person to tell, like, are they gonna have a conversation?
18:57
And then all of a sudden it just switches to her.
18:59
Point of view.
18:59
Mm-hmm.
19:00
I thought it was very interesting.
19:01
Yeah.
19:01
So they started out with Amber and then Daphne.
19:03
Yes.
19:04
Yeah.
19:04
The book itself, Was one of the twisted psychotic ones that we like to listen to.
19:11
But I feel like, to be quite honest, I need to switch.
19:14
Cause the last two books have been pretty heavy.
19:16
Yeah.
19:16
We need some trigger warnings in this one as well.
19:18
Yes, yes.
19:19
Um, domestic violence.
19:20
Yes.
19:20
And um, I don't know, like crazy like.
19:24
Crazy woman.
19:25
Yeah, totally.
19:26
Totally.
19:27
so yeah, those are the trigger warnings for that.
19:29
And, but it remind, it did remind me a lot of the book we read the week before.
19:33
Mm-hmm.
19:33
And, um, that was behind closed doors.
19:35
Yeah.
19:35
Um, just because of some of the similarities in their, uh, situations.
19:40
But the twistedness, oh my gosh.
19:45
Yeah.
19:45
It was bananas.
19:48
Yes.
19:49
I kept waiting for, so, you know, you start, when you watch a movie or read a book, you start like, I think this person quote did it, or This is gonna happen.
19:57
I was totally wrong.
19:58
Yeah.
19:59
I thought that there was, oh, I'm not even gonna say cause I don't want it to be spoilers, I think I read this in two days Yeah.
20:04
Or listened to it in two Yeah.
20:06
Mm-hmm.
20:06
In two days.
20:07
It was good.
20:08
It was a good one.
20:09
I read some reviews where people were like, this was a horrible book.
20:11
Me too.
20:12
What's four?
20:12
It had like four stars and I'm like, no, it's not a four star book.
20:15
No, I mean it's an easy, okay, so it's very interesting.
20:19
Yeah.
20:20
And you just always keep waiting for the next piece of the puzzle.
20:24
That, without trying to give any, I know, I'm like, is this for real?
20:27
Like, she, she's not catching on like, is she that niave?
20:31
You know, like, so, I definitely.
20:34
I didn't expect it to be like part two.
20:37
Right.
20:37
And I loved part 2.
20:39
I know I liked part two as well.
20:41
It just made me like, the first part was like you said, you're kind of just like, okay, what's, what's the, the other situation, like you said, it's from Amber's point of view.
20:49
Mm-hmm.
20:49
So you're seeing everything there and you're really like, What the heck?
20:53
It's like almost in black and white.
20:55
And then when you hear Daphne's point of view, it's every, all the color comes into it.
21:00
Mm-hmm.
21:00
Um, it really was an interesting way to do that book.
21:06
So there was a line in the book Uhhuh that it stuck with me and I actually took a note of it and it said, and yet she was still being looked down on still being treated like garbage.
21:15
All she wanted was the life she deserved.
21:17
It didn't occur to her that she had gotten it.
21:19
Ooh.
21:20
And I don't know, like it just stuck with me like Yeah.
21:22
Like, you know, like you reap what you sell.
21:25
Yeah.
21:25
That's a pretty good.
21:27
Nutshell statement there.
21:29
Mm-hmm.
21:30
Of her.
21:30
so Amber's the twisted one.
21:31
Mm-hmm.
21:32
If you guys didn't pick that up, she's the one who's, who's really twisted and, manipulative.
21:38
Mm-hmm.
21:38
all of the, the things, just, everything, everything that she did was done with intention.
21:44
Mm-hmm.
21:44
There was a reason behind.
21:46
Every move she made.
21:47
Can you imagine living like that?
21:49
No.
21:49
I mean, I try to be in, you know, with the words I say when I'm talking to somebody, you know, I try to speak with intention, but to every move you make, whether.
22:00
You go to this place for dinner or sit at this chair instead of this chair.
22:05
Like the manipulation that, all of that, that was crazy.
22:09
Yeah.
22:09
Mm-hmm.
22:10
Crazy.
22:11
Yeah.
22:11
I, I, it was, it was a great book.
22:13
It was a good book.
22:14
if you want that twisted, twisty Yes.
22:16
If you like the, for the Twisted Sisters, we can't see him now.
22:21
Somebody else did.
22:21
Yeah.
22:22
The band.
22:23
Um, but, um, yeah, I, I liked it.
22:27
It was definitely right up our alley that we liked what we've typically been reading with our genre.
22:32
That's, yeah, you'll like that one.
22:34
Yeah.
22:34
Um, I'm gonna have to read that prequel next.
22:36
Yes.
22:36
And then you actually have to read it.
22:38
Yeah.
22:39
Yeah.
22:40
so our next book is The House Made by Frieda McFadden.
22:42
Yes.
22:43
have you found that one?
22:43
I've been looking for it.
22:44
I have not, I haven't even started looking for it.
22:46
Cause you've been hooked up on this other one.
22:49
I'm excited about that one though.
22:51
I don't think it's gonna be a light beach read though, from what I've.
22:54
The blurbs I've read, I think it's gonna be a lot like The Handmaids Tell.
22:58
Yeah, that's, that's what it kinda felt like too.
23:00
Yeah.
23:01
Have you watched that or read that?
23:02
I watched a couple of episodes and, I mean, I have to really love something to stick with it.
23:08
Yeah.
23:09
I get it one time and then two like.
23:11
It has to be like the best storyline ever that I started watching that, like two or three, maybe even four times.
23:19
And I could never get past that first episode.
23:21
It was just so, uh, yes.
23:25
but I talked to my sister about it.
23:27
She was like, it's, you know, try a little bit more and see if you like, it was okay.
23:30
Mm-hmm.
23:31
But, um, I'm more of like a Dexter girl.
23:35
I like Dexter too.
23:36
I like Dexter too.
23:38
I like period stuff.
23:38
But you know what stuff, what?
23:39
That's on brand I like, like, um, like Downton Abbey and all that kinda stuff.
23:45
I like that.
23:46
Yeah.
23:46
Yeah.
23:47
I think we talked about like Bridger.
23:48
Oh yeah.
23:48
Like those kinda shows.
23:49
Yeah.
23:50
We've been watching, um, some friends reruns.
23:53
I love friends.
23:54
Did you see that?
23:54
Jennifer Aniston, just commented that, some of the friends episodes are not politically correct and would not go over well today with today's world.
24:03
Of course not.
24:04
And I was like, just leave friends alone, Jennifer.
24:06
Oh.
24:10
Most of the shows from the eighties and nineties wouldn't.
24:13
Oh, Brian likes Roseanne.
24:15
I was never a fan of Roseanne.
24:18
my mom used to say, she's so crass.
24:20
but I, yeah.
24:21
Never a fan.
24:22
Brian loves her and like that show.
24:24
Mm-hmm.
24:25
Yeah.
24:25
A lot of that stuff is totally not okay.
24:28
Yeah.
24:28
To show.
24:29
Um, but I mean, like you said, almost everything from that timeframe, right.
24:32
Yeah.
24:33
And then did you see that the Simpsons predicted the submarine?
24:36
Yes.
24:38
Oh my gosh.
24:38
But I didn't even hear about that until like Tuesday night.
24:42
Mm-hmm.
24:42
Before I think the, the deadline for them to, to come up was Wednesday morning, I think.
24:48
Mm-hmm.
24:49
and I was like fascinated for like those 12 hours.
24:52
I don't know how I missed it.
24:54
I was, so that was, that was insanely terrible.
24:56
Listen, you, you are not getting me in anything that is controlled by a, Xbox 360 controller.
25:01
I am sorry.
25:02
It's not even like the new Xbox controller.
25:04
Okay.
25:04
Like, no, I was freaking out.
25:08
I, I freak out like when, and I love to swim.
25:11
I love the water.
25:11
I love the beach.
25:12
I love, I'll go be the farthest one out in the ocean.
25:15
But for some reason, like underwater stuff makes me almost have a panic attack.
25:20
Mm-hmm.
25:20
Like when they're in, you know, you're watching a movie and they're like diving in a cave.
25:24
I just, that gets me every time.
25:26
So to, I guess the thought of all that, Um, was really freaked me out.
25:32
You know, I'm a certified scuba diver.
25:33
No, I didn't.
25:34
Are you really?
25:36
That's awesome.
25:37
So in college that was an option for like the, the PE class.
25:41
Yeah.
25:41
so me and Brandon took, scuba diving and so everything up until your open water certification dive.
25:47
Yeah.
25:48
Um, in like the YMCA pool, Cancun.
25:55
And like we took the class in the fall and in January we were gonna cancuns mm-hmm.
26:00
To get our open water dive and got our certification down.
26:03
Um, that's cool.
26:04
Yeah.
26:04
I do think it would be neat like just to go down and see the fish and everything, all south shark, but it was like a nurse shark, like a, great white.
26:12
Um, I like to snorkel, but for some reason, like the thought of getting trapped somewhere, underwear.
26:18
Yeah.
26:18
I don't know.
26:18
But anyway, I hate that.
26:20
Well, it was like the water was freezing and Yeah.
26:23
I was like in college, 110 pounds soaking wet.
26:26
And so my body temperature, my body couldn't like hold Yeah.
26:29
The temperature.
26:30
And so there was this, um, older man on the boat with us and he had all this gear, like all these like, you know, and stuff.
26:37
Yeah.
26:38
And so he's like, here, like we, you know, came up and we had to go back down into the water.
26:42
He's like, here, use this.
26:43
Cuz like, I was like, my lips were like blue and like, I was like shivering.
26:46
And, so I put it on and it kept filling with air and I kept holding to the top.
26:52
That's funny.
26:52
And Brandon kept pulling me back down.
26:56
That's very funny.
26:56
By my foot.
26:57
Like, no, that the certification you have to keep up.
27:01
Like do you have to do We actually, I think only went once after that.
27:04
Um, yeah.
27:04
But you can say that you, yeah.
27:06
I don't know if like, You have to get re-certified or not, but I wouldn't trust myself.
27:09
I would like wanna take like a refresher.
27:13
Yeah, that'd probably be a good idea.
27:16
So, um, goodness.
27:17
So did you see that article I tagged you in, in our our Facebook group?
27:22
Remind me what it was about, about a lady in Shelby, North Carolina that says she's pregnant by Bigfoot.
27:27
Oh my gosh.
27:28
Yes.
27:29
So that's not that far from us.
27:30
No, it's less than an hour.
27:32
Yeah, I mean that's right over the North Carolina, so it was in like the Belmont News or whatever is Okay.
27:38
Continue.
27:39
So she claims she went camping with her friends.
27:42
Mm-hmm.
27:42
And claims that she was ravaged by Bigfoot and he impregnated her.
27:49
Um, she went, she went camping with girlfriends and her, her husband, who looks like he's way old.
27:58
Like for her, like she's like in her twenties.
28:00
Yes.
28:00
He almost like, he just didn't age.
28:01
I thought he was the Bigfoot.
28:05
Cause he did.
28:06
He was bur and that's awesome.
28:11
Um, yeah, so he's definitely country and like if You'all aren't in our Facebook.
28:15
In the Facebook bank.
28:16
Yeah.
28:16
Um, please go check out this article.
28:18
It is hysterical.
28:19
Yes.
28:20
she says it's the only logical explanation that she can give is that Bigfoot impregnated her.
28:27
And, my husband is sterile, so we thought we couldn't have kids.
28:30
Now I'm pregnant.
28:31
And the only way this could happen is if Sasquatch is the daddy.
28:36
The only, that's logical.
28:38
That's her train of thought for logic.
28:39
I hate to think what she would say is illogical.
28:43
Yes.
28:43
Um, hold on, let me find the quote that the husband is.
28:46
I cannot wait because I cannot wait.
28:48
Um, this is amazing.
28:50
it's like gold.
28:51
She said that Bigfoot snuck into her tent up there near Lake Lore and had his evil way with her.
28:59
I believe my wife, we've been married for a long time and she's never lied to me.
29:05
Hes 53 years old, by the way, and she is 24.
29:09
Well, well, well, well, yeah.
29:12
So, eh, I just saw it and then I immediately thought of tco cause Yeah.
29:19
Lady Sasquatch.
29:20
Yes.
29:20
So, Does she have the baby?
29:22
Well, no, she's still pregnant.
29:24
But his closing words, the husband was, I've got some strong words for that Sasquatch, and he won't like hearing what I have to say.
29:31
That's for sure.
29:34
I care what you to say, Mr.
29:37
Burley, So.
29:39
It was only logical explanation.
29:41
Logical explanation.
29:42
That's great.
29:43
Well I'm pretty logical, but there are a lot of things that I struggle with that I shouldn't, like I'm terrible with directions.
29:49
Mm-hmm.
29:50
I have to use, we've been doing this for months, like I've been, and I've come to your house a couple times before.
29:55
Mm-hmm.
29:55
I still have to use ways every time I come to your house.
29:58
Well, listen, my neighborhood is like a mouse trap.
30:01
Like it's just dead ends everywhere.
30:04
They would get me, if Sasquatch was chasing me in this neighborhood, I could not get escape.
30:09
Hey, I get chased by dogs all the time.
30:11
Oh yeah, that's true.
30:13
that is true.
30:14
We wanted to, Give a couple of podcast recommendations.
30:17
Do we wanna do that today?
30:18
We, we can, yeah.
30:19
Okay.
30:20
I have one.
30:21
Okay.
30:21
So one that I've been listening to is called Rock Your Comeback.
30:25
Oh.
30:26
And it is by Nicole Eaton, and she's actually in Lake Wiley.
30:29
Oh, really?
30:30
And, um, okay.
30:30
Yeah.
30:31
Yeah.
30:31
We had, you know, briefly mentioned her.
30:33
Mm-hmm.
30:34
but she gives a lot of.
30:36
Awesome.
30:37
And she has special guests on there that just kind of affirmation and just, you know, rock your comeback and just, um, something I needed something a little bit different.
30:47
Mm-hmm.
30:47
From, you know, not that I don't love all of our murder and crime shows cause I do, even though what did that statistics say?
30:54
That people that watch these things are more likely to listen.
30:57
They can kiss my butt.
30:59
It gives me.
31:02
So that has been, um, something really fun to be checking out.
31:08
Yeah.
31:08
And just a totally different thing.
31:09
And I think we should try to like, have a combo with her sometimes.
31:12
Yeah, that'd be cool.
31:13
And um, she's way more put together than she is like the anti us.
31:18
Yeah.
31:20
But, but I still think it'd be neat to just have a chat with her and just No, it's always good to have another point of view perspective.
31:25
Um, absolutely.
31:26
Or knows I can use another perspective.
31:28
And I was listening to the one, um, that she just released last week, that her newest episode, and she had a quote in there that I really liked, and it says, you survived a hundred percent of your worst days.
31:39
And I was like, Hmm.
31:41
I like that one.
31:42
Yeah, that one.
31:43
Like you're right.
31:44
All of my bad days I've made it.
31:46
And more bad days.
31:47
You're gonna come.
31:48
We're gonna be all right.
31:48
So if you wanna listen to another local person, if you're in our area, Nicole Eaton's Rock Your Comeback, I recommend.
31:55
That's awesome.
31:56
yeah, I would love to have her if we can get her on the show totally.
32:00
I just hope she knows what she's getting into.
32:04
We'll, we'll warn her.
32:06
We'll warn her.
32:07
So I told you about, our new bookkeeper.
32:10
Yeah.
32:10
And she's very into law of attraction.
32:11
And so like I, I've started listening to, a podcast called Law of Attraction.
32:15
Changed my life.
32:16
Ooh.
32:16
And she's, British or something.
32:17
She, she has like that kinda accent.
32:19
She's like super positive, but like, you know, like she swears and like yeah.
32:22
You know, so it's not her mean Yeah.
32:24
Spilling any beans.
32:26
It's out there, but yeah.
32:26
So it's not like super uptight, like it's more like my kinda, um, vibe, I guess.
32:32
Yeah.
32:32
Yeah.
32:32
and she's like, you know, if it doesn't feel good, F it, you know, put it all of your life.
32:36
I have another one that I've been listening to that I think you'll appreciate, but I'm a little not embarrassed, but I think you're gonna get a kick outta this.
32:45
Are you ready?
32:46
Mm-hmm.
32:46
Been listening to Girls Next Level.
32:48
What is that?
32:50
Did you ever watch the show Girls Next Door With Yes.
32:54
That lived at Yesner?
32:55
Yes.
32:56
Yes.
32:56
So that's what.
32:57
It's Bridget and Holly.
32:58
Okay.
32:59
And they have a podcast.
33:00
I just, read one of Holly's books.
33:02
Did you?
33:03
Or listened to it?
33:03
Yeah.
33:04
Um, so it's them and they recap some of their situations and they talk, well listen to like two or three episodes.
33:11
Mm-hmm.
33:11
So, um, but they're.
33:13
A mess.
33:14
Yeah.
33:15
And they're, they're pretty fun to listen to.
33:16
They're not stupid bimbos.
33:18
Yeah.
33:18
you know, you, they have to, they had to portray that image of course, for, and now they're, you know, of course in their forties and they're, they're moms and, you know, whatever.
33:27
So that, that was pretty interesting.
33:30
And just, again, a different change of pace.
33:32
Yeah.
33:32
Something like fun.
33:33
Yeah.
33:34
Hopefully.
33:35
Not much traumatizing information in there.
33:38
Somebody else's drama, not we've talked about.
33:40
Yes.
33:40
I love that.
33:41
I'm just thinking about the book that she wrote.
33:43
Do you remember what it was called?
33:44
Down the rabbit hole and that tells about her experience.
33:48
Yeah.
33:48
Um, in, I'll have to check.
33:51
It's.
33:53
What they portray.
33:54
Well, no, it's not.
33:56
And it's funny, and I don't know if everyone is like this, but they were talking about, so the time that I remember watching it, it was Holly and Bridget and Kendra.
34:05
Mm-hmm.
34:05
And Kendra was like the sporty one.
34:08
And they're talking about the tension there and some of that stuff.
34:11
So, again, somebody else's issues, not mine.
34:14
Yep.
34:15
So I might have to read that.
34:17
Yeah.
34:19
It was Pilot Cleanser.
34:19
Yes, exactly.
34:21
That's exactly what it was.
34:22
Perfect.
34:22
Yeah.
34:22
Perfect.
34:23
you know what else I like as a PAL?
34:25
Cleanser?
34:26
STEM crimes.
34:27
STEM crimes.
34:27
Yep.
34:28
we did Kentucky this week.
34:30
We sure did.
34:31
Did you find them?
34:32
Doozies?
34:33

34:35
Okay.
34:35
so I am excited to share with you.
34:38
I can share first if want me to.
34:39
Yes.
34:41
I'm gonna do my dumb criminal.
34:43
Okay, we'll start with that.
34:44
So this is from Louisville.
34:46
He was arrested and charged with cultivating marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
34:51
When the police discovered 10 marijuana plants thrown in his basement, they found it because he called them to report a burglary of his weed.
35:01
He called to save my pot plants missile.
35:04
Um, he called the police because someone is stealing his weed.
35:07
What a great representative of the great state of Kentucky.
35:11
I picked the same, did, did you?
35:15
Why Staring story.
35:17
Well, you did like my story.
35:20
That's funny.
35:21
Well, I got lots of dumb laws.
35:24
Um, Kentucky, a woman can marry the same man three times, but four times.
35:30
Wow.
35:31
Yeah.
35:32
Why would you wanna marry the same man three times?
35:33
And what is it about fourth that just like, Nope, I'm not doing it.
35:37
I don't know.
35:38
you have to get your permission from your husband before you can buy a hat.
35:43
Oh.
35:44
Mm-hmm.
35:44
Nobody can tell me what to do.
35:46
Mm-hmm.
35:46
It just makes me go do it.
35:48
I buy two hats.
35:49
I would as we're both wearing hats today.
35:51
Yes.
35:53
no female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway within the state unless she is escorted by at least two officers, or unless she is armed with a club.
36:03
The law was later changed to add the provision of this statute shall not apply to females weighing less than 90 pounds or.
36:11
Exceeding 200 pounds, so it's just 91 to 199.
36:16
Nor shall it apply to female horses.
36:20
What happened that they had to add bathing suits on?
36:25
Like, it didn't.
36:25
I, I, I don't, I'm so, I That sizeism, is that a thing?
36:29
Yes.
36:29
I, I mean, is that the right word?
36:31
It works for me.
36:32
It is now.
36:33
And horses, horses, female horses.
36:35
It doesn't apply.
36:35
No.
36:36
So female horses can.
36:37
Square bathing suits.
36:39
Mm-hmm.
36:40
On the highway they can do, they make horse bathing suits.
36:44
Oh, I'm sure there's some crazy person that makes bathing suits for That would be amazing.
36:53
Yeah, I saw this one too.
36:55
you cannot throw flowers at a public speaker.
36:59
Can you throw pies and tomatoes?
37:00
No.
37:01
Oh, but I don't know why flowers are, specified.
37:04
Mm-hmm.
37:06
Well, you know, I always have to find a reptile orator.
37:09
Sure.
37:09
Any person who displays, handles or uses any kind of reptile in connection with any religious service or gathering shall be fined not less than$50, nor more than$100.
37:20
They're big on their, like buckling it down with ranges and values Yes.
37:25
And stuff, aren't they?
37:26
Yes.
37:26
okay, so I have one more and this is gonna be my last one.
37:29
All law was written and it still applies today.
37:32
That you cannot carry an ice cream cone in your pocket.
37:35
Wasn't that a loss, ofwhere else?
37:36
It was.
37:37
And I was reading through to, to figure out the why.
37:39
So before automobiles changed the way we traveled, they got around on a horseback.
37:43
Some would be travelers would spot somebody else's horse and try to lure it away by putting an empty ice cream cone in their back pocket.
37:51
So it is, Illegal to do that because horses eat ice cream cones.
37:57
Apparently that's their jam.
37:58
They want the ice cream cones in the back pockets.
38:01
Mm-hmm.
38:02
I mean, but wouldn't you think I'm gonna get this horse?
38:05
I give'em a carrot.
38:06
That's cause that's not gonna melt.
38:07
Yeah.
38:07
Or yeah.
38:09
Huh?
38:10
Sugar cubes.
38:11
Something other than a freaking melted ice cream here.
38:16
Dunes.
38:20
Alright, here's my last one.
38:21
Okay.
38:21
This is, this is a good one.
38:22
Okay.
38:23
Citizens are required to bathe once a year.
38:25
Why is that a lot, like, why is it like once a year, like, who smelled that bad that they were like, we got to put this in writing.
38:34
I, I, I So many questions.
38:36
Again, I get left with more questions I know than I know answers.
38:41
so Jackson had a basketball camp last week when they stayed overnight for a few nights, and I think we talked about this already, but all I could think about was.
38:50
How stinky Cause they stayed in the dorms and, yeah.
38:54
Cause I know how bad he is after like one game or two games and then they're closed, just sitting there and all down the dorms.
39:03
Oh my gosh.
39:04
It, I.
39:05
The thought of it just made my stomach turn.
39:07
Yeah.
39:07
Well, you know, speaking of stinky kids, I like put the fear in Dylan of being the kid that like stings at school.
39:14
Yeah.
39:14
And I mean like he never was Right.
39:16
But, um, you know, but after sports, like they get like sure.
39:19
You know, when they were younger.
39:20
Oh yeah.
39:21
so I put this fear in him about.
39:29
Like all these different things in the house.
39:31
Like he has more like, like toiletries than I do.
39:36
I mean, like, well, all the things and shampoo, conditioners, de like, like five different kinds of deodorants.
39:43
yeah.
39:43
Body sprays.
39:44
Cologne.
39:45
Yeah.
39:45
I mean the child has, like, his bathroom is more cluttered than mine.
39:50
Well, I used to always tell Jackson, you know, put on deodorant put, and he had to wear deodorant from like the time he was like, mm-hmm.
39:57
First, second grade, something like that.
39:58
He would go to recess at school and go so hard, like he needed it.
40:02
Mm-hmm.
40:03
Um, so, you know, and he would get frustrated.
40:07
I don't wanna, I don't want, I mean, come on, dude.
40:08
It's not that hard.
40:09
Yeah.
40:09
Until one year on a field trip, and he sat with a kid who hadn't reached that point yet where they, you know, they hadn't had that conversation with their parents or their people or, you know, whatever.
40:19
And Jackson was like, thank you, mama.
40:22
Thank you for, for helping me get it.
40:24
Um, but I feel bad for these teachers.
40:27
Oh my God.
40:28
so Dylan.
40:29
I told you you took dance Yeah.
40:31
In eighth grade cuz that was, it was bad or Spanish.
40:33
And he was like, no, I'm not doing Spanish.
40:35
So, um, there was a, Kid in that class that he was like, mom, we had to open the windows and like clear the room.
40:44
Yeah.
40:44
It was that bad.
40:45
And it was like the last class of the day after, right.
40:48
After they've been doing all the things.
40:49
Yeah.
40:49
And so, I was like, aren't she glad?
40:51
Yeah.
40:53
I may have given you like this, like little anxiety about it, but, but at least you don't stay.
41:02
I remember in seventh grade Jackson's math teacher, after like lunch and their little recess or whatever they call it in middle school, I dunno.
41:10
Mm-hmm.
41:10
And they would all come back in the room and just re, I mean, and some of them were worse than others and she would have to tell them guys.
41:20
That's such a awkward It is, but I mean, she handled it well cause she like addressed the whole class and as far as I know, she didn't single anybody out and, you know, try to, I could not be a teacher.
41:31
I couldn't either.
41:31
No.
41:32
For a lot of reasons.
41:33
Well, I, I subbed and I Oh, did you?
41:36
I did for like a year and a half.
41:38
No.
41:38
I used to love kids.
41:40
Like I used to love them.
41:41
Yeah.
41:42
And, and that made dislike.
41:45
Many.
41:47
Well, I really liked with D two, that was the football program that we, helped with and I got to kind of wander around and talk to all the kids and, you know, all that kind of stuff.
41:56
And I liked that part of it.
41:58
I did get burnt out cause it was such a, their seasons were so long and it was just a lot.
42:03
Yeah, a lot, a lot.
42:03
so the past few years for Jackson's.
42:06
Football and basketball teams.
42:08
I've been like the person who coordinates food and drinks and stuff.
42:11
So that has been perfect because it gave me just enough time to get in and to know these kids and then I leave.
42:18
Mm-hmm.
42:18
So that was, that was perfect.
42:20
Yeah.
42:20
Yeah.
42:21
Well, did I tell you about when I, got into a p I had to get, massages?
42:26
No.
42:27
Cause my, I had to go to the chiropractor and Yeah.
42:29
Um, so gosh, It had to be like 2015 maybe.
42:33
A postal worker.
42:34
Yeah.
42:35
ran a red light and t-boned my car and told my car.
42:38
So I, this is when I was subbing.
42:41
Yeah.
42:42
so maybe like, I don't know, a month before that I was in the class and it was a first grade.
42:48
Mm-hmm.
42:49
And, the kid didn't have free iPad time cuz he didn't wanna do his work mm-hmm.
42:53
During class.
42:54
Mm-hmm.
42:55
And everybody else, you know, got their work done.
42:57
And I was like, well, when you get your work done, you can have free iPad time.
42:59
Well, he lost it and like, tried to throw a chair, like, I mean, like totally lost it.
43:04
Yeah.

43:36

43:37
She's like, you're tense today.
43:38

43:41
So, oh, are, oh, was so uncomfortable.
43:49
Crazy.
43:50

43:52
Well, I went back to State Farm after that.
43:57
Where you were in good hands, like a good neighbor.
44:01
Oh, that's right.
44:06
State Farm slot shirt today.
44:08
Oh, because, well, my office manager mm-hmm.
44:13
When we hired, another girl.
44:15
She shared a position with me and one other girl, um, cause we were, you know, part-time.
44:18
Mm-hmm.
44:19
And she.
44:26
Me and my work bestie.
44:28
Mm-hmm.
44:28
Looked at each other and we were, like I said, I guess we're just sloths.
44:33
So it became this big joke with the sloths and so we went on a a work trip to the mountains.
44:37
Yeah.
44:38
And I've got, assured me that said, state Farm sloth.
44:41

44:48
we did not determine what state, so I'm gonna throw out Missouri.
44:51
Sure.
44:52
Ok.
44:53
Cause I think we got most of the south bun.

44:55
So we can start moving a little bit north and, and west.
44:58
And west.
44:58
Yeah.
44:59
Just like the Oregon Trail.
45:01
Oh Lord.
