• 0:00
  Hey, I'm Stefanie.
• 0:00
  And I'm Meredith.
• 0:01
  And welcome to, this is my circus.
• 0:04
  Take five.
• 0:06
  Oh, I was thinking like 55.
• 0:09
  But anyway, we got it.
• 0:13
  Um, I woke up with a cold today and I didn't want, oh, I think it's a cold, it's a cold or allergy, so I did not want to share my cooties with Meredith.
• 0:20
  So we are zooming today.
• 0:22
  Um, so it's a little bit of a different feel for us.
• 0:25
  I don't get to see Merediths.
• 0:26
  Yes.
• 0:27
  Beautiful face in person.
• 0:28
  Rex is missing her, but, and what?
• 0:31
  And your face.
• 0:34
  But we will, uh, get through this, this sesh today.
• 0:38
  Absolutely.
• 0:39
  Brian Jackson have been having their allergy issues too, so It's awful.
• 0:44
  It's just, yeah.
• 0:46
  I had a friend tell me all the scientific reason that the, um, pollen was so bad.
• 0:50
  It was really interesting.
• 0:51
  And now I can't remember what it was.
• 0:53
  So, well, so we got a new bookkeeper speaking of pollen.
• 0:57
  And she's wonderful, absolutely adore her.
• 1:00
  Um, but she raises bees, so she's like, oh, when we get the honey, whatever, when like they do all the honey stuff, she's like, well, I'll bring you some.
• 1:08
  And I was like, that's awesome cuz honey, like if you eat local honey every day, it's supposed to really help your allergies.
• 1:14
  Yes.
• 1:14
  So I was like, bring me all the honey.
• 1:17
  Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:18
  I've heard that before and I have tried it, but never consistently enough to make a difference.
• 1:25
  I'm so bad about doing anything consistently.
• 1:29
  I blame it on my a d.
• 1:30
  That works.
• 1:32
  That works.
• 1:33
  Um, before we get into anything else, uh, no.
• 1:36
  We always talk about this at the end, but I wanted to mention it at the beginning because I'm bad about like shutting off a podcast at the very end and not finishing it out.
• 1:45
  So I wanted to thank everybody for their support, but remind them that they can subscribe.
• 1:50
  Um, if they would leave a review, a five star review would be fantastic.
• 1:55
  Fabulous.
• 1:55
  They would follow us on our Yes.
• 1:58
  So just wanna get that out there so maybe we can.
• 2:01
  Grab some people that, um, that don't know that they need to subscribe to us to help keep us our algorithms and all that kind of stuff up that.
• 2:08
  And then you also, every Tuesday you'll get a notification, that there is a new podcast out.
• 2:12
  Not that you probably need more notifications because my phone goes off like crazy every day, but Uhhuh Yeah, I know I do.
• 2:21
  But that's a fun notification to see.
• 2:23
  Yeah.
• 2:24
  It's not like to get who your power bill is due.
• 2:26
  It's like, Ooh, a new podcast is available.
• 2:29
  Oh, well you guys probably don't have the crazy, town of Clover water bills, out there.
• 2:36
  Our subdivision is like notoriously known for insane water bills.
• 2:40
  Mm-hmm.
• 2:40
  We've gone through several water meter checkers in this neighborhood and like we've seen, we've seen them sleeping in their trucks and like, they're supposed to be walking around like checking water.
• 2:52
  Oh wow.
• 2:53
  That's amazing.
• 2:54
  This is last year maybe.
• 2:55
  Like, there was a guy that used to just sleep in his truck, so they would put the same amount of water usage every month.
• 3:01
  which is weird cuz not every month you use however many gallons of water.
• 3:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:05
  Also they do it to like the, uh, instead of like, you know, to the tens or the, even the hundredth gallons, um, like whatever, rolling it up.
• 3:14
  Um, it was like to like the, the thousands, I mean like, I mean it was like insane.
• 3:18
  Like they, like charged you so much for water usage, never even used.
• 3:21
  So then when they finally checked the meters, You get like this insane bill, somebody just posted on our HOA page, they, they just got like a$500 water bill because I guess they're saying that they weren't actually checked however many within like the last however many months.
• 3:37
  And this happens like twice a year in this neighborhood.
• 3:40
  And like they town of Clover will do nothing about it.
• 3:42
  Nothing.
• 3:43
  Well, I heard that the company, so you guys are through the town of Clover, not the Blue Granite company, or does the Blue Granite company like source to Clover?
• 3:53
  Because I heard something about, okay, that company is getting taken over by somebody else.
• 3:58
  I really haven't paid much attention since we are on a well, and it's not something that like.
• 4:03
  It needs to have my brain power cause I'm sure other people are working on it.
• 4:05
  Um, but I did see, and I've always known that that's been an issue forever with the clover water, which is so crazy.
• 4:12
  It's horrible.
• 4:13
  My mom, you know, she lives here full-time now, but when she wasn't living here, nobody was in the house for five months straight.
• 4:18
  I mean, like mm-hmm.
• 4:19
  She had come down for a weekend, um, and she got a water bill for$900 and she wasn't here at all.
• 4:25
  And they refused to adjust it I was like, but nobody has used the water in five months.
• 4:29
  Like nobody.
• 4:31
  And, um, they, that's ridiculous.
• 4:34
  Yeah.
• 4:35
  Insane.
• 4:36
  So that is, that, is that, I'm very, very upset about that for your poor mom.
• 4:42
  And the water was shut off to the house, like all of the water was shut off in the house and they're like, um, she must have a toilet leak.
• 4:48
  I'm like, none of the water is on.
• 4:50
  There is no water in there.
• 4:52
  That's terrible.
• 4:53
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  And so they're like, oh, what?
• 4:55
  Well, this is it.
• 4:55
  Like, pay the bill or don't, but your water's gonna get shut off.
• 4:58
  And I'm like, it's, she's not there.
• 5:00
  Who cares?
• 5:01
  Well, and what, yeah, but what's so bad about that is that there's not any other options.
• 5:06
  Like, it's not like you can say, I'll take my business elsewhere.
• 5:09
  That's where the water is coming from.
• 5:12
  So it's, you've got to, that's not, that's not right.
• 5:15
  Yeah.
• 5:16
  Yeah.
• 5:16
  Basically.
• 5:18
  Yeah.
• 5:19
  Yeah.
• 5:19
  Let's talk about each other.
• 5:20
  More fun.
• 5:21
  So what's going on when the Hill household?
• 5:26
  Hill household?
• 5:27
  Well, Brian and Jackson, um, both, like I said, are having allergy issues.
• 5:30
  Um, so when Brian doesn't sleep, When he's up banging his pillow and complaining that he's, you know, I got a, I got a cold.
• 5:36
  If I can't sleep, then that means I don't get to sleep.
• 5:40
  So we've all been, you know, running on next to nothing.
• 5:44
  Um, Jackson did have the opportunity to go to the, um, U S C, so University of South Carolina Gamecock Football Camp.
• 5:53
  He went Friday and that was really cool.
• 5:56
  Um, that was a great camp for any kids that are interested.
• 5:59
  He, we went to the prospect camp, so it was high schoolers.
• 6:02
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:02
  Um, it was a great camp.
• 6:06
  It was a long camp.
• 6:07
  some of them were just like two hours.
• 6:09
  but it was a great camp.
• 6:10
  They got a t-shirt, they got fed.
• 6:11
  It was, it was a really good one.
• 6:13
  We had signed him up for that a long time ago.
• 6:14
  So it seems, it's weird.
• 6:15
  All the stuff that we've been signing him up for is just finally it's here and I'm like, oh my gosh, it's going so fast.
• 6:21
  Um, and then this weekend we had a tournament in Greenville for basketball.
• 6:25
  It was not a great basketball weekend for his team.
• 6:28
  you know, sometimes it just goes like that, but, hopefully the parents are better than the last parents.
• 6:34
  They were.
• 6:35
  Uh, uh, overall I would say yes, but then you've always got those that are, that are not great.
• 6:40
  So, um, and then today he officially started workouts for football at the high school.
• 6:46
  He'd been doing some like low level stuff, like observing and learning how all the weight rooms and what their routines are there.
• 6:53
  but today from seven to 10 he had official workout for football.
• 6:57
  And then, and from 10 15 to 12, he had.
• 7:01
  High school basketball workouts.
• 7:03
  Good.
• 7:03
  Great.
• 7:03
  So currently I know he was like, mama, that was like a whole school day.
• 7:07
  So this is gonna be going on where he's got both of those sports for a couple of weeks.
• 7:12
  so he is currently asleep.
• 7:14
  I'm gonna put a picture on our Facebook page because he's asleep using the dog bed as a pillow.
• 7:19
  Like that's just where he fell on the ground.
• 7:21
  And I was like, oh my God, kiddo, you're killing me.
• 7:25
  But I know and poor Emmy's, like, where am I supposed to go?
• 7:30
  Oh, so we'll a picture lay, lay over his head.
• 7:35
  Maybe that's possible.
• 7:37
  You know, it was fun.
• 7:38
  We got a lot of time to hang out with everybody at the tournament because it, the way that our schedules worked, we were ended early in the day, so we had.
• 7:47
  Most of the, late afternoon and evening for the kids to, they went swimming and somebody ordered pizza for a bunch of'em and, you know, just that kind of stuff.
• 7:55
  And the, they loved that.
• 7:56
  You know, the kids just loved that stuff.
• 7:58
  So, so it was nice to just sit and chill with everybody for a little bit.
• 8:02
  Yeah.
• 8:02
  So we didn't get back till late yesterday.
• 8:05
  Yeah, it's been busy and stuff.
• 8:07
  I don't know.
• 8:08
  Now I'm looking at myself on this little zoom and I'm like, oh, let me, let me put a post-it note over.
• 8:15
  Um, but anyway.
• 8:16
  What have you been up to?
• 8:17
  How's Dylan?
• 8:18
  Uh, he's good.
• 8:19
  he is enjoying summer.
• 8:21
  You know, perms are like a thing for boys now.
• 8:23
  Like, yes.
• 8:24
  Okay.
• 8:24
  So he's been asking for one for like a year.
• 8:26
  And so I finally said, wait till after school gets out in case you don't like it and then you don't have to go to school every day with like your perm cuz like, I don't know if he'll ever like shave his head.
• 8:36
  So like that, I don't think that was an option, but, so I took him last Thursday to get a perm and he loves it.
• 8:43
  It looks good on him.
• 8:46
  What is he there in the kitchen?
• 8:48
  No, he went out to um, I think Dave and Buster's with my mom.
• 8:52
  Oh my gosh.
• 8:52
  I need to see this.
• 8:54
  I'll send you a picture.
• 8:55
  Or I'll post it on Facebook.
• 8:56
  Please post it.
• 8:57
  Please post it so we can look at, but he looks so cute.
• 9:01
  It's not like, like super, super, super tight, tight, tight curls.
• 9:04
  But, um, it's, it's tighter than I thought he was gonna get.
• 9:07
  But, the lady said that, you know, obviously he's gonna like loosen up after like a week or two.
• 9:12
  Yeah.
• 9:12
  So get smaller, you know, tighter ones to start cuz it's gonna loosen up.
• 9:16
  Oh my gosh.
• 9:17
  I haven't had perm so long.
• 9:19
  Yeah, I don't, I've never had one ever.
• 9:22
  So we didn't tell Brandon cuz you know, Brandon he would be like, no.
• 9:26
  So we just didn't say anything prior.
• 9:30
  And Brandon, you know, stays up late work and so he gets up a lot later than I do.
• 9:34
  So, I was on my way home from dropping Dylan off cuz it takes two hours and I wasn't staying there for two hours.
• 9:40
  Yeah.
• 9:40
  Mm-hmm.
• 9:40
  So I dropped him off.
• 9:41
  I stopped at the post office, came home, and Brandon's like, well, where's Dylan?
• 9:45
  And I was like, ah, getting his hair done.
• 9:47
  And he's like, What do you mean?
• 9:48
  Getting his hair done?
• 9:49
  Like where?
• 9:50
  And I was like, at the salon, and he's like, what is he doing?
• 9:55
  I was like, getting a perm.
• 9:57
  And he's like, what the heck is a perm?
• 10:01
  Oh my gosh.
• 10:02
  You know when, when you make your hair curly?
• 10:08
  Oh my gosh.
• 10:10
  Oh my gosh.
• 10:11
  But you know, Brandon's like, it looks a lot better than I thought it was going to So Dylan loves it.
• 10:15
  He, so he's happy with it.
• 10:17
  You know, all that matters is if you like it and doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.
• 10:22
  Good, good.
• 10:23
  Well, I cannot wait to see a picture of that.
• 10:25
  I'm, I'm sure it looks great.
• 10:26
  I was going through my stuff cause I need to do my roots soon.
• 10:29
  Um, and I was like, oh, maybe I'll do a pink shadow root or something.
• 10:33
  Yeah.
• 10:34
  Spice it up for the summer like I always loved my purple hair.
• 10:39
  I remember when your hair was purple.
• 10:41
  Yeah.
• 10:42
  Oh my.
• 10:43
  you remember when Dylan had, um, green hair dye and he would sweat and it would just go down his face?
• 10:50
  Yes.
• 10:50
  Jackson too.
• 10:52
  he went to a workout with Elijah Plum one time, and I think, I wanna say Dylan was there.
• 10:57
  Yeah.
• 10:58
  But, he met them like working out really super hard on like a July day and yeah, just a sweat.
• 11:04
  And he, they like melting Smirfs.
• 11:07
  It's the blue.
• 11:09
  I need to switch something up with my hair, so I'm, I'm not sure what it is, but you'll be surprised next week.
• 11:14
  Yay.
• 11:15
  I can't wait to see it.
• 11:16
  Can't wait to see it.
• 11:17
  I was so excited.
• 11:18
  And I wanna jump right into this book we read.
• 11:21
  Oh, yes, yes, yes.
• 11:22
  So our book this week was, uh, Erin Duffy's Regrets Only.
• 11:27
  Yes.
• 11:27
  And, do you have a blurb pulled up that you wanna let our people know?
• 11:33
  All right.
• 11:33
  Um, regrets only.
• 11:35
  Okay.
• 11:35
  So Erin Duffy's the author.
• 11:36
  Claire thought she had everything a woman was supposed to want.
• 11:40
  A loving husband, a newborn son, a beautiful home in the suburbs.
• 11:43
  Then she walks in on her husband canoodling with their realtor in their newly renovated kitchen, and in an instant, her perfect life comes crashing down.
• 11:52
  With her marriage heading for divorce, Claire knows it's time to stop feeling sorry for herself.
• 11:57
  But how can she move on when she's still stuck in the orbit of her husband's world?
• 12:02
  For starters, she can get rid of her soon to be excess possessions, including his prize gigantic foosball table by dumping them out onto the curb until complaints start coming from the neighbors getting the police involved.
• 12:13
  Now, Clara is busy dodging the mean mommies as story hour and hiding from her ex-husband's girlfriend in the grocery store.
• 12:19
  But as Clara soon learned suburbia still has a few surprises in store for her.
• 12:24
  Surprises that will make her question her choices from the past, send her down an unexpected road to self-discovery and maybe even lead to new love, desperate for a positive outlet to channel her frustration, she turns to girlfriends, Lissie and Antonio for help together.
• 12:39
  They joined forces to rebrand Lissie local stationary store and turn it into a thriving business.
• 12:44
  But as Claire soon learns, Siria still has a few surprises in store for her.
• 12:48
  Surprises that will make her question, her choices from the past sent her down an unexpected road to self-discovery and maybe even new love thoughts.
• 13:00
  I've really enjoyed this book.
• 13:02
  like we had Kitchen last week.
• 13:04
  It's a pallet cleanser from some of the things that we have been reading.
• 13:09
  It was very light.
• 13:11
  even though, you know, it was a little, I don't know if sad is the right word or what, you know, with her going through her Yeah.
• 13:17
  Divorce that I mentioned and some life changes.
• 13:20
  I mean, it wasn't always a hundred percent a happy book, but it was very enjoyable.
• 13:26
  Yeah, it was.
• 13:28
  It was a quick, easy read.
• 13:30
  I felt like.
• 13:31
  very easy to follow, easy to whatever.
• 13:35
  but I, I enjoyed this one.
• 13:37
  This might.
• 13:37
  Be my, one of my favorites that we've done.
• 13:40
  I agree 100%.
• 13:42
  I think it'd be a great beach read.
• 13:44
  Um, totally the summer.
• 13:45
  I really, really enjoyed it.
• 13:47
  I thought there was a lot of humor in there and it was very relatable.
• 13:53
  You know, I am like, I can be queen of petty, like I can be queen of petty.
• 13:57
  So when she was getting her little revenges on her cheating husband, I was like, girl, go for it.
• 14:06
  She, you know, cutting out holes in his clothes.
• 14:09
  I was like, girl, it was so entertaining.
• 14:13
  It was so in her thought process, in her escalation when she, so for instance, there was the issue that they mentioned when she's got the foosball out and she's gonna get rid of it.
• 14:24
  Well, the cops show up.
• 14:26
  and just her conversation with this cop about her just, it just snowballing and escalating and like zero to a hundred.
• 14:34
  Right.
• 14:34
  Yeah.
• 14:34
  And it was like you said, very relatable.
• 14:37
  Like, I feel like I could drive by somewhere and I could see this happening.
• 14:41
  If I was in a situation you would drive by my house, this is what would be happening.
• 14:44
  I mean, like, I, yeah, yeah, definitely the very quirky, not mean-spirited, but just the anger and the hurt of everything that she's going through.
• 14:55
  But it's not, you know, like you said, nobody dies in this one.
• 14:58
  Yeah.
• 14:59
  Yeah.
• 15:00
  I, I really liked Claire.
• 15:01
  I liked Claire a lot.
• 15:02
  I did too.
• 15:03
  I thought she is just your average woman.
• 15:07
  Like, I feel like every woman that reads this would relate to, well, I mean, probably 95% of women that re mm-hmm.
• 15:14
  You would just relate to it, you know?
• 15:16
  And I love that her best friend was there, the whole time.
• 15:19
  Yeah.
• 15:19
  You know, she uprooted her life and, you know, just was there for her.
• 15:23
  It was just, I, I don't wanna too much away, but I kept thinking that like she was gonna be, A bad person somewhere along the line.
• 15:33
  Y Oh, I, I didn't get that at all.
• 15:34
  I think I read so much and that's what happens.
• 15:38
  Yeah.
• 15:39
  I wasn't happy.
• 15:41
  No, no, no.
• 15:43
  and then like, you know, the, the in-law issue, that Claire had No, it was fantastic.
• 15:49
  Yeah.
• 15:49
  So I, I loved everything about this book.
• 15:52
  Like, this would be one that I give a 10, like Yeah.
• 15:55
  Or this genre, whatever.
• 15:57
  Like, I, I think that it was, Like, so, well, I, I, I didn't wanna stop.
• 16:02
  I actually listened to it, but I didn't wanna stop listening to it.
• 16:05
  I wanted to just keep going.
• 16:06
  yeah, it was just enjoyable.
• 16:08
  It'd be fun if there was a sequel.
• 16:10
  Yeah.
• 16:11
  Yeah, for sure.
• 16:12
  And like, this totally reminds me, like, not necessarily like a lifetime movie, but like I, it's like a mix between Lifetime and Hallmark.
• 16:17
  You know, hallmark, hallmark is always so well, you know, happy and Yeah.
• 16:21
  Uh, but like, I just sounds always so bad.
• 16:26
  Yeah.
• 16:27
  Like, so mixed.
• 16:29
  Yeah.
• 16:30
  Yeah.
• 16:31
  Um, so I thought it was super well written.
• 16:34
  What did you think of Lizzie?
• 16:37
  I thought it was a super out of place character, which is meant to be, mm-hmm.
• 16:41
  But I loved that it was like almost like a little sister type of vibe.
• 16:45
  like, you know, she took her under her wing.
• 16:47
  Yeah.
• 16:47
  Sometimes those oddball friendships are the best.
• 16:52
  Um, yeah.
• 16:53
  You know, I, I appreciate different, upbringings or different points of view.
• 16:59
  Yeah.
• 16:59
  Um, I know.
• 17:00
  So I, I thought it was a cool, weird friendship, um, that they made.
• 17:06
  in such contrast to the other moms that she, well, you know, Lizzie's not a mom Exactly.
• 17:10
  But with all the issues that she had with The mean mommies.
• 17:14
  Yes, totally.
• 17:16
  Totally.
• 17:16
  Yeah.
• 17:17
  Such a thing.
• 17:17
  Like people are mean sometimes and you know, like kick a girl while she's down, I mean, right, right.
• 17:26
  Just the fact that they basically ostracized Claire because of what happened to her.
• 17:32
  And what happened to her was not even any of her doing, it was just no.
• 17:35
  She was the victim of bad circumstance with her cheating husband.
• 17:40
  And they, you know, that dog were just snooty.
• 17:44
  Yeah, yeah.
• 17:45
  Totally.
• 17:46
  The way that the moms were just so hateful and snarky, and.
• 17:51
  Too good for everybody.
• 17:52
  Um, and then, you know, she met Lizzie and she formed that bond there, and then she embraced that.
• 17:58
  I don't care what they think.
• 17:59
  Attitude.
• 18:00
  Yeah.
• 18:00
  Um, and that was good to see.
• 18:02
  And then there was some, at the end, there was a little bit of closure there with one of the moms.
• 18:06
  I had, you know, some conversation there, but I never wanna be that mom.
• 18:10
  Yeah.
• 18:10
  That's just mean to o other moms.
• 18:13
  Like there's just no point in that unless you give me a reason to.
• 18:17
  Right, right.
• 18:18
  And like, I am right or die for my friends.
• 18:20
  Like, you mess with one of my friends.
• 18:21
  Like it's, I have a very tunnel vision a lot of times.
• 18:25
  It's just the way I am.
• 18:27
  but in that situation, I don't think that that would apply.
• 18:31
  I don't think I would be that cruel to somebody, um, right.
• 18:35
  For a reason that, you know, she had nothing to do with, not a fan.
• 18:40
  No.
• 18:40
  Me neither.
• 18:41
  But recommend the book.
• 18:42
  I loved it.
• 18:44
  Agree.
• 18:44
  like you mentioned, she had her friends.
• 18:47
  Antonio, I think was her name.
• 18:48
  Her other friend that, that came and stayed with her for a while, um, they had their friendship.
• 18:53
  And even though I thought she was gonna do something as shady, she ended up being a, you know, one of her people that was there for the whole time.
• 19:01
  Um, and she was so funny cause like when the, the things are happening and she's like letting his lighting his clothes on fire or whatever she did, like, she would try to calm her down.
• 19:12
  Yeah.
• 19:12
  Like, it's ok.
• 19:15
  The voice of reason I would be like, light it up.
• 19:18
  I would be the encouraging I poured you light, we run.
• 19:22
  Okay.
• 19:24
  No questions asked.
• 19:25
  Right, right.
• 19:26
  I give that one a, uh, in his, like you said in his genre, I gave it a 10, outta 10.
• 19:30
  It was a, a good, easy beat read.
• 19:32
  Um, didn't leave feeling ble.
• 19:36
  Yeah.
• 19:36
  Um, or like not scared watching me.
• 19:39
  Right, right, right.
• 19:42
  Which, speaking of, have you started reading next week's book?
• 19:46
  No, I'm on the waiting list for the book.
• 19:49
  Well, then I need to hurry it so you can get it.
• 19:51
  Cause next one is, behind Closed Doors by BA Paris.
• 19:56
  I take that back.
• 19:57
  I have read it.
• 19:58
  I have, I've listened to it before.
• 19:59
  but it was so long ago that I need a refresher for sure.
• 20:03
  Okay.
• 20:04
  It's one that starts out pretty quick and you can see what's coming.
• 20:07
  And so far, so I wouldn't say so far so good.
• 20:10
  But I'm interested to see how this plays out.
• 20:12
  Yeah.
• 20:13
  So our, our dumb crook and dumb law, were supposed to be Louisiana.
• 20:18
  Did we not do this before?
• 20:19
  Because I saw some familiar stories.
• 20:22
  Unless this stuff just happens more than we need to know.
• 20:26
  I think there's multiple dumb crimes in different states that happen.
• 20:31
  Yeah.
• 20:31
  So do you wanna start with laws or the crime first?
• 20:34
  Whatever you got up, I can read one.
• 20:36
  so let's start with the crime this one was called Beauty School Beat Down.
• 20:40
  I saw that.
• 20:42
  Yeah.
• 20:42
  I I just read the headline.
• 20:43
  I didn't read into it, so I can't wait to hear what it's about.
• 20:46
  Um, a Stickup man tried to rob a Louisiana Beauty school and ended up getting extremely nasty makeover.
• 20:51
  Cops say Jared Gibson 24 entered Baylor's Beauty College in Shreveport at noon Tuesday and announced a robbery.
• 21:00
  I thought it was someone just playing, but then I saw that big old gun manager, Diane Mitchell told the times, he said, get down Big Mama.
• 21:10
  The mask driver ordered the people in the room, 18 to 20 students and teachers to lie on the floor.
• 21:17
  Leading some to think that they were gonna be killed.
• 21:20
  You'll be the first to go.
• 21:21
  He allegedly grows at one crying woman.
• 21:24
  After collecting everyone's money, the gunman pushed the school's sole male employee, Abraham Bishop, towards the back of the room, but then turned and began to run out the door.
• 21:32
  That's when Mitchell stuck out her leg.
• 21:35
  The robber tripped over it, dropped the gun and slammed into a wall.
• 21:40
  Bishop immediately jumped on his back, forcing this stickup man down to the floor.
• 21:45
  Get that sucker.
• 21:47
  She yelled.
• 21:49
  A dozen and a half women present, grabbed whatever they could get their hands on, curling irons, chairs, table legs, and piled on.
• 21:58
  They just whooped the hell out of him, said the school owner, Sharon Baylock, oh God.
• 22:04
  Crying in pain, bleeding and having soiled his pants.
• 22:09
  The gunman tried to crawl away, but the angry women held onto his leg and kept hitting him until the police arrived.
• 22:17
  Oh my gosh.
• 22:19
  He charged with armed robbery and taken to LSU hospital and a neck brace, suffering multiple lacerations.
• 22:24
  No one else was seriously hurt.
• 22:26
  He got what he deserves.
• 22:27
  Said one student Gibson's gun turned out to be unloaded.
• 22:31
  He walked into the wrong place at the wrong time.
• 22:34
  One police officer said, you can tell any prospective students baylor's Beauty College has got your back.
• 22:42
  So what are you trying to steal from a beauty school?
• 22:46
  He's, he was just like, their, their jewelry and like whatever they had in their wallets.
• 22:51
  Okay.
• 22:52
  But okay.
• 22:54
  I am picturing I, you know, like on Grease, like the beauty school.
• 22:58
  Beauty school dropout.
• 22:59
  Yes.
• 23:00
  Yes.
• 23:01
  Totally, totally.
• 23:03
  Could you imagine the police when they came to get that man?
• 23:06
  Hmm.
• 23:07
  We need to, we need to take all your weapons.
• 23:09
  That's my curl iron.
• 23:11
  I, my what?
• 23:12
  The curling iron.
• 23:14
  Well, good for those women for doing what they had too.
• 23:17
  To protect themselves.
• 23:18
  That's so funny.
• 23:19
  I like was just dying at the comments of, get down Big Mama and something about stop that sucker, or something like that.
• 23:28
  That's pretty funny.
• 23:29
  I have like the worst at these town names, so don't come from me.
• 23:32
  I've heard that one before.
• 23:34
  That's the only reason I knew what that one was.
• 23:36
  Um, okay.
• 23:36
  I've got a good one too.
• 23:37
  Okay.
• 23:38
  And I think I have a video that I can link to our Facebook page if I can share this properly and give the rights to action news.
• 23:47
  W P V I T V.
• 23:50
  Okay, so this was also in Shreveport, basically I'm hearing, don't go to Shreveport.
• 23:55
  a bank robber received a lot of attention following a clumsy escape from his heist in Louisiana.
• 24:01
  The local sheriff office shared surveillance footage of the criminal getting away after he had allegedly robbed a credit use union in Shreveport, but not before.
• 24:10
  Tripping multiple times along the way, the man was shown falling three times before he reached his getaway car and took off Some locals who watched the footage were in disbelief that he even got away.
• 24:22
  He's a lucky man because all you got to do was fall once.
• 24:26
  At least that's the way it is in the movies.
• 24:28
  Said one resident.
• 24:29
  The suspect has not been identified.
• 24:33
  That would be me.
• 24:34
  Me too.
• 24:35
  I'm so crazy.
• 24:36
  And the video is like trying to cut through these bushes and he keeps, like falling into the bush.
• 24:40
  I don't, I'm thinking he wasn't sober.
• 24:43
  And he was struggling with, with walking.
• 24:47
  Um, but it's, it's pretty funny.
• 24:48
  Yeah, that would totally be me.
• 24:50
  I would like, I trip over, I trip going up the stairs.
• 24:52
  Well, yeah, I told that story two weeks ago, but I melted down the stairs and cut my finger and all that kind of stuff, which has healed nicely.
• 25:00
  Um, but, um, but yeah, I thought that was really funny too.
• 25:04
  Did you see the crispy cream one where the guy left a trail of crispy cream donuts?
• 25:10
  I did, but I didn't read that one either.
• 25:12
  I, I, that headline got me.
• 25:14
  I started to go for that one.
• 25:15
  Did you read the whole thing?
• 25:16
  I did.
• 25:17
  So what happened, do you So he, like, they were like running away from the cops.
• 25:21
  They had committed a crime, crispy cream driver, went to deliver donuts to a gas station and, um, left the back door open of the truck and like the truck running.
• 25:30
  So they jumped in into the truck and stole it.
• 25:33
  Trying to get away from the cops and, um, the back door's open, so it's like leaving trails of donuts.
• 25:39
  Oh my gosh.
• 25:41
  Oh my gosh.
• 25:42
  That's so, so just screwed out disrespectful to the, to the cops and the donuts.
• 25:48
  it was, it was between the two, but I couldn't not do the comments of, of the beauty school ladies.
• 25:54
  Yeah.
• 25:55
  Big mama.
• 25:56
  Yeah.
• 25:57
  Got you.
• 25:58
  Got some dumb laws.
• 26:00
  I do.
• 26:01
  Um, my favorite one was, it's illegal for a woman to drive a car unless her husband is waving a flag in front of it.
• 26:08
  Oh, I did not see that one the way home from Greenville, where we had a tournament's about an hour and a half away, and most of that is just straight up 85.
• 26:17
  Well, on the way home yesterday, we were about halfway through, um, our drive home and Brian was like, I'm exhausted.
• 26:23
  Can you drive?
• 26:24
  He doesn't let me drive much.
• 26:25
  So it's always like, I'm always so excited.
• 26:27
  But I was tired too at this point, and I'm like, gosh.
• 26:31
  And we're on 85 and he's got a, a good size truck.
• 26:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 26:34
  And 85 is very narrow in some places.
• 26:38
  And I was so stressed out the whole time, like I woke up and my forearms were sore because I think I was gripping the steering wheel so hard.
• 26:45
  but yeah, I think that, we definitely don't wanna have people waving flags in front of cars anymore, but no one.
• 26:54
  oh, speaking of perms, did you see this one?
• 26:57
  Mm-hmm.
• 26:57
  It's illegal for her mother to give her daughter a perm without a state license.
• 27:02
  You know what?
• 27:03
  That's probably a good thing.
• 27:07
  Yeah.
• 27:07
  You're not wrong.
• 27:08
  You're not wrong.
• 27:10
  What'd you find?
• 27:11
  it's illegal to shoot lasers at police officers.
• 27:14
  But you know, I can see that because they might think it's like, you know, like the laser and guns like Yeah.
• 27:20
  Yeah.
• 27:20
  They might think it's that.
• 27:22
  So I can see that maybe, you can go to jail for 20 years for urinating in the city's water supply.
• 27:28
  Okay.
• 27:29
  Questions, but, rituals that involve the ingestion of blood, urine, and fecal matter are illegal, which I am happy about.
• 27:37
  Listen to this one.
• 27:39
  Use of motorboats is forbidden on city streets.
• 27:42
  Now, I think to the tragic days of like Katrina.
• 27:46
  Yeah, that's what I was just gonna say.
• 27:48
  Well, if there's a flood, yeah.
• 27:50
  I mean, I think let's not make a law about that.
• 27:53
  They needed those things.
• 27:53
  Is it, is it extenuating circumstances that they like get a free pass?
• 27:58
  No, that's just a one sentence, sir.
• 27:59
  So that's all I got.
• 28:01
  Okay.
• 28:01
  This is my last one and this is a good one because it goes along with a lot of our weird stuff.
• 28:06
  Reptiles are not allowed within 200 yards of a parade.
• 28:10
  Interesting.
• 28:11
  But like, what if it's like a, a rogue reptile?
• 28:13
  Well, does reptile go to jail?
• 28:16
  Yes.
• 28:17
  Yes they do.
• 28:18
  Is there a special reptile jail?
• 28:20
  It's a reptilian is what they're called.
• 28:22
  I don't know.
• 28:23
  I was trying to think of something funny.
• 28:25
  I'm not as quick as Matt Rife to come up with things.
• 28:28
  So I got a couple of cool new products.
• 28:31
  Ooh.
• 28:31
  Oh, did your shaper thing come in?
• 28:33
  No.
• 28:34
  Okay.
• 28:34
  It's in like Poland right now.
• 28:36
  I checked the tracking Perfect.
• 28:37
  Just where I thought it would be.
• 28:39
  It's in, and it's in the Poland Customs getting checked at the moment, if, according to the update this morning, I did not know that those were Polish garments, but nobody know.
• 28:47
  No, it's been like all, they've gone like all over the place like.
• 28:51
  They're making a world tour before they arrive.
• 28:56
  So what else have you been trying?
• 28:57
  Oh, so I got a new, um, eye primer and I don't know about you.
• 29:01
  I'm not good at makeup.
• 29:02
  Like I've never been good at makeup.
• 29:05
  I try, um, I'm not good.
• 29:08
  But it's called, thank me later.
• 29:10
  Um, it's on Amazon.
• 29:12
  It was like nine bucks.
• 29:13
  Okay.
• 29:13
  But anytime, and I don't know why my eye, um, shadow never stays, like never.
• 29:18
  Mm-hmm.
• 29:18
  Like after like two hours, I don't know.
• 29:20
  I don't, I don't really feel like I touch my eyes that I notice, but I could, I don't know.
• 29:24
  I've tried so many different primers though, like, you know, Mac, um, two-faced, you know, like a lot of the expensive brands and they work okay.
• 29:32
  But this stuff is like 9 95, I think, on Amazon, and it lasts all day.
• 29:36
  Like eyeliner lasts all day and the, um, eyeshadow lasts all day.
• 29:41
  So that is huge for me.
• 29:44
  now, you know, I'm sure you know, stuff works different on everyone.
• 29:48
  Yeah.
• 29:48
  But this works wonderful for me.
• 29:50
  So, um, it was a great, inexpensive option.
• 29:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 29:55
  I, I in, you know, like a couple different groups.
• 29:58
  Well, I'm on like 200 groups on Facebook, to be honest, but the one group they were talking about, eyeshadow Pro and somebody had suggested this and I'm like, oh, well it's cheap enough to try and it's Amazon, it doesn't work.
• 30:11
  I'll just return it, you know?
• 30:12
  Yeah.
• 30:13
  And I am an Amazon seller, so y'all take a listen, like, do not screw your Amazon sellers if it truly doesn't work or you truly don't like it.
• 30:20
  Okay.
• 30:21
  Don't just like return a bunch of used stuff because we do have that happen.
• 30:25
  New stuff.
• 30:27
  Yeah.
• 30:27
  Like, they, like, so, you know, we sell pro bags, which are expensive.
• 30:31
  I mean, they're higher quality than like the crappier bags.
• 30:34
  Let me tell you, okay.
• 30:35
  I'm gonna go give you a rundown of what we've received as returns for our portal bags.
• 30:40
  We have gotten a, Donkey onesie, you know, like the onesie pajamas, but it was a donkey.
• 30:46
  Okay.
• 30:48
  We've gotten pillowcases back.
• 30:50
  we have gotten Do people just buy yours and then return it and switch it or something?
• 30:56
  Yeah, and, and just return like some random thing in the box.
• 31:00
  And Amazon doesn't check it.
• 31:01
  They just check like scan the little label.
• 31:03
  Yeah.
• 31:04
  In the back.
• 31:04
  So we have to then submit a claim to, it's like a pain in the butt and hope that they reimburse you for like your product.
• 31:10
  Um, so be honest, people don't do that.
• 31:14
  It's not nice.
• 31:17
  We have donkey rosy donkey onesie, and Dylan's like, oh, this is my size.
• 31:22
  Yeah.
• 31:22
  So we've got some weird stuff back.
• 31:25
  Very weird.
• 31:26
  It's crazy.
• 31:28
  Um, but it's crazy.
• 31:29
  I figured, well, it's Amazon.
• 31:30
  You can return it within 30 days.
• 31:31
  But I, I mean it's, it works great.
• 31:33
  So if you're looking for a eyeshadow primer, totally recommend it.
• 31:38
  Um, and we'll link that in the group so that you guys can find that.
• 31:41
  I also got the Snoop Dogg cookbook.
• 31:46
  You were telling me you were gonna make the mac and cheese.
• 31:48
  It was so good.
• 31:51
  It turned out so good.

• 32:37
  It was like a homemade mac and cheese.
• 32:38
  Um, of course I had, I switched out for gluten-free pasta.
• 32:41
  Um, and um, did I have to switch out anything else?
• 32:47
  Oh, the, I use gluten-free flour, um, cuz there's, you know, you have to make a ru with it first.
• 32:51
  Yeah.
• 32:52
  For the cheese.
• 32:52
  But it was good.
• 32:53
  I mean, everybody in my house loved it.
• 32:55
  Um, it, you know, had like good different spices in it and stuff, so it was, it was really, really good.
• 33:02
  Um, so I'll post a picture of it in the group too.

• 33:11
  Mm-hmm.

  Awesome.
• 33:13
  Um, so, uh, the reason I found this book, um, my friend Sherry, she listens.
• 33:17
  So, hey Sherry, um, she is a lacrosse mom.
• 33:20
  Um, her son plays with Dylan and, you know, um, I've known her for, for several years, but she was listening to our show when we had talked about Snoop Dogg.
• 33:28
  And so she texted me and said, oh my God, you've gotta check out this book that I got somebody gave me for Christmas, um, you know, a couple years, or, you know, whenever.
• 33:37
  And so she's like, you've gotta check this out.

  Oh, and they also got drink recipes, you know, his famous gin and juice.
• 33:55
  Yeah.
• 33:56
  There's a song about it.
• 33:57
  There's, there's, so, um, yeah, that's a cool, you know, book.
• 34:02
  If you know any Snoop Dogg fans out there, it'd be a good gift.
• 34:06
  Very neat.
• 34:08
  Very cool.
• 34:09
  So those were the couple things that I bought recently.
• 34:11
  Oh, and that y'all don't waste your time watching that Bama Rush documentary.
• 34:17
  Oh, it wasn't good, you know, there was so much hype on TikTok about this, um, that, you know, it was gonna be like, blow up the, the sorority world.
• 34:28
  Mm-hmm.
• 34:28
  Um, and it was so boring.
• 34:31
  Yeah.
• 34:32
  And I was like, I like the drama.
• 34:33
  I don't want to, to my own drama.
• 34:35
  Right.
• 34:36
  And so, um, the filmmaker or the documentary person, like half of it was about her, her life and she has like, alapecia, is that what Alopecia?
• 34:46
  Yeah.
• 34:47
  Yeah.
• 34:47
  Um, so she's, you know, doesn't have, she's bald about like, her growing up and, and not feeling accepted and like, so like, it was like a third to like a half of it about.
• 34:58
  That and, and I, and like, you know, if you wanna make a documentary about that, great.
• 35:03
  But yeah.
• 35:04
  Um, you know, then they were talking about the machine, and like all these previews and like, you thought like there was gonna be like this big like scandal you know, they were gonna take down the machine and they mentioned the machine once or twice, and then that was it.
• 35:18
  They just mentioned the name, like the machine.
• 35:20
  And it was, it was like the most boring documentary I've ever, now the machine, the comedian guy, is that who they were trying to reference the machine?
• 35:27
  Yeah.
• 35:27
  They are referencing, I can think like the whole for sorority fraternity, like the, not the machine.
• 35:33
  Like, like the man is the government.
• 35:35
  I gotcha.
• 35:36
  Yeah.
• 35:36
  But like, I guess it's like the, the, the silent king and queens of the, I was like the machine.
• 35:43
  Do you know what I'm talking about?
• 35:44
  The Russian comedian?
• 35:45
  Yeah.
• 35:47
  Or the comedian that went to Russia.
• 35:48
  He's not Russian, but I was like, Wait, how does he tie in with sorority life?
• 35:52
  So the filmmaker was like, I was scared for my, life because people were, saying that the machine was gonna take us down or, and I'm like, this is so dumb.
• 36:02
  Like, I, you know, they, they like mentioned it in like for like a minute and then that was it.
• 36:06
  So don't, I mean, I, of course, if you want to, I'm not telling you what to do, but I don't recommend the documentary.
• 36:13
  It was mm-hmm.
• 36:14
  A waste of an hour and a half of my life.
• 36:16
  Okay.
• 36:17
  Well, uh, good to know.
• 36:19
  I am currently watching, um, queen Charlotte on Netflix.
• 36:23
  Oh, how is it?
• 36:24
  It's pretty good.
• 36:25
  If you like historical fluff, Um, you know, it's nothing.
• 36:30
  Whatever.
• 36:31
  It, it's interesting, um, uh, because, you know, something happens and I'm like, oh, I've gotta Google this and see if there's any bit of truth to it.
• 36:38
  Yeah.
• 36:38
  Um, and there's a situation going on with the king and it actually is based on a little bit of truth.
• 36:42
  So it's interesting to, to hear that.
• 36:45
  Um, it's only like six episodes, so it's not like something's gonna take a huge amount of time, but just something that I can watch and multitask, you know, while I'm, whether I'm, you know, checking Facebook or whatever.
• 36:56
  So, um, so it's, it's, it's pretty good though.
• 36:58
  Yeah.
• 36:59
  Did you like Bridger?
• 37:01
  Yeah.
• 37:02
  I mean, same thing, same premise.
• 37:04
  Like it, it's enough to keep my attention without, like, I can miss 10 minutes of it if I would need to or put space out.
• 37:11
  Yeah.
• 37:11
  Um, and not feel like I need to rewind it.
• 37:14
  Yeah.
• 37:14
  Um, did you watch Bridger?
• 37:16
  Oh, I watched the first season.
• 37:17
  I started watching the second season and it didn't keep my attention as much.
• 37:22
  Didn't, yeah.
• 37:23
  Yeah.
• 37:23
  And I just didn't continue watching it.
• 37:25
  I think I got into like the second episode of the second season and I just kind of like, eh, but the first season I thought was awesome.
• 37:31
  Um, yeah, it was pretty good.
• 37:32
  But yeah.
• 37:33
  Um, yeah, Charlotte was pretty good because it goes back and forth between history and present, um, with, you know, the queen with the crazy tall hair that she does all crazy.
• 37:44
  And then, um, lady Danbury, so the, the lady that, it tells her history too.
• 37:50
  So it's a little bit neat to get that backstory.
• 37:52
  Mm-hmm.
• 37:53
  Is there any other shows that you're currently watching that you're Not, that I'm, um, super locked into.
• 38:00
  I had recorded all of Grey's Anatomy last season, but, so I've gotta catch up on those.
• 38:04
  Yeah.
• 38:05
  I haven't watched anything the last maybe.
• 38:07
  One and a half seasons.
• 38:08
  And I've watched Grey's Anatomy since it started, like right day one.
• 38:11
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  Um, but I just don't have time to watch TV really.
• 38:16
  Um, much so if I'm watching it, like I'm also working and then I get lost, I get lost.
• 38:21
  So if it's, huh.
• 38:23
  Something that I, uh, actually want to watch, like I have to really like make time for it.
• 38:29
  Mm-hmm.
• 38:30
  Um, the, I told you we got a new, um, bookkeeper and she's awesome.
• 38:33
  Um, but she is very into, like law of attraction Okay.
• 38:38
  Manifesting and that kind of thing.
• 38:40
  So, she was like, I want you to watch this movie.
• 38:43
  the Secret, which is like the whole premise of Law of Attraction.
• 38:46
  So, um, it's on Amazon Prime, but, um, it's kinda like Cheesily made, um, you know.
• 38:52
  Okay.
• 38:53
  It's very cheesy, I think.
• 38:55
  but it's like, you know, good information.
• 38:57
  I, I did watch it.
• 38:58
  Um, So if you're into that, it's like a great breakdown of the whole, um, theory.
• 39:04
  Right.
• 39:04
  And, you know, mindset, stuff like that.
• 39:07
  So I'm always open to learning more about that kind of stuff.
• 39:11
  Yeah.
• 39:11
  Um, and hopefully maybe make, make it a practice one day when I have time to, to, to actually think about it in the morning.
• 39:20
  Um, yeah.
• 39:23
  But that's time is few and far between.
• 39:27
  Yeah.
• 39:27
  Agreed.
• 39:28
  Agreed.
• 39:28
  Well, we have a hard time in our household finding things to watch that we all agree on.
• 39:33
  Yeah.
• 39:33
  Um, because I am a little more of the actiony type drama type of a movie and, um, Brian doesn't really like the actiony stuff as much as I do, so I know.
• 39:45
  What does he like?
• 39:45
  He likes comedy.
• 39:47
  Okay.
• 39:47
  Um, yeah, so we.
• 39:50
  Watch Ted Lasso.
• 39:51
  Have you seen Ted Lasso on Apple Team?
• 39:53
  It's pretty good.
• 39:54
  I recommend that one.
• 39:55
  We have enjoyed that.
• 39:56
  It's about, um, an American football coach who goes to England and takes over a soccer team.
• 40:03
  Oh, so it's it's pretty, yeah, it's interesting and it's funny, it's quirky.
• 40:07
  Um, I like that one.
• 40:09
  And then we, um, that was like a couple months ago that we watched that one.
• 40:13
  We also recently watched Night Agent and that was pretty cool.
• 40:17
  Um, I can't remember.
• 40:17
  I think that's on Netflix as well, but that one's about this dude who's in the F B I and all he does is answer a telephone and like a dark room for like undercover agents to call.
• 40:27
  Oh wow.
• 40:28
  So it, you know, in the storyline with that is, is pretty cool.
• 40:31
  that's more along my neck of the woods.
• 40:33
  Not Brian would watch like Dumb and Dumber.
• 40:36
  A thousand times a day if he could.
• 40:38
  I love Adam Sandler movies, like for like dope comedy, like he's my all time faith.
• 40:43
  Um, and Dylan does too.
• 40:43
  Like Dylan has seen like every Adam Sandler movie Yeah.
• 40:46
  Under his son.
• 40:46
  But he's pretty easy to please with tv.
• 40:49
  But, we have new movies coming out.
• 40:52
  Transformers, um, so I think it comes out this Friday and when Dylan was like maybe three, he saw his first Transformers movie and he couldn't say Transformers.
• 41:03
  He would call it Transformers.
• 41:05
  Oh, that's so cute.
• 41:07
  So I, um, put him on notice.
• 41:09
  I sent him a text message when I saw that it was coming out this, you know, weekend and I said, transformers is coming out this week, or you know, next week.
• 41:18
  This was last Friday.
• 41:19
  if you go to the movies with anyone else, you're grounded for a year.
• 41:23
  We don't wanna repeat of the, the gardens of the gala.
• 41:27
  I, I'm claiming this one.
• 41:29
  Yeah, this one's yours.
• 41:31
  Um, I wanna see the Little Mermaid.
• 41:33
  Oh, I, I thought you were gonna go with the ex-girlfriend's mom.
• 41:36
  Yeah, we'll see.
• 41:37
  It might, well, yeah, I mean, we've both been so busy doing some other things, so, um, maybe I'll get to go.
• 41:44
  But there's another one that I, that's coming out, um, well, I think it's on Netflix and it's about the Florida Gators when they had like Tim Tebow, Aaron Hernandez and some other people.
• 41:54
  Oh, yeah.
• 41:56
  I can't wait for that either.
• 41:58
  Yeah.
• 41:58
  Um, Dylan loves those types of, you know, oh yeah.
• 42:02
  All that stuff.
• 42:03
  He's all over.
• 42:04
  I, I've heard mixed reviews about The Little Mermaid, because they had to, like, they've changed so much to make it like, You know, they changed the songs.
• 42:12
  They, you know, can you change the songs?
• 42:15
  Yeah.
• 42:16
  And then they, you know, you can't objectify women and you, you know, this kinda stuff.
• 42:20
  And I think like the, you know, like the movies like, don't Mess With the, with the classics.
• 42:24
  Classics.
• 42:26
  So, oh.
• 42:28
  And it had nothing to do with casting, like, nothing.
• 42:30
  Like it was just because they made so many changes to the movie, um, as far as that goes and flounder.
• 42:35
  What happened to Flounder?
• 42:37
  Did you see what he looks like?
• 42:38
  He don't look like, no, he looks like a.
• 42:40
  Floppy old fish.
• 42:42
  Oh no.
• 42:45
  Well, I'll see you soon and give you my review.
• 42:47
  Everybody's just so sensitive about everything.
• 42:49
  Yeah.
• 42:50
  So I, I, I, I'm, I have mixed feelings on.
• 42:54
  But, you know, I like Covid was a horrible time and like, I think the world has gone bananas since then, but the, the one plus side of it was that all the movies came out.
• 43:05
  Yeah.
• 43:05
  And you could just watch'em from home.
• 43:07
  Yeah.
• 43:08
  Yeah.
• 43:09
  That's very true.
• 43:10
  I do miss that part.
• 43:11
  Yeah.
• 43:12
  We did watch, um, last week, I think when I had some of the kids over here, we watched the movie about Michael Jordan.
• 43:19
  The, how he built his shoe empire caught hair uhhuh.
• 43:23
  That was pretty interesting.
• 43:24
  Yeah.
• 43:24
  Um, it really didn't have anything to do with Michael Jordan, so I don't know why I said it like that, but, it was, it was pretty cool to see that side of, you know, whatever they wanted to portray.
• 43:33
  but that side of his life and the game and, and all that kind of stuff, the.
• 43:37
  Merchandising standpoint.
• 43:38
  Yeah.
• 43:39
  did you see that thing, about Shaq?
• 43:41
  You know, like Shaq's sh he has his own shoe line, like Yeah.
• 43:44
  In Walmart or wherever, is affordable shoes for kids, but he had signed a deal, I was it with Adidas maybe, or Reebok.
• 43:51
  It's like one, one of those Adidas or Reebok.
• 43:53
  but full before that he did that shoe and, a mom had come up to him all upset saying, you know, like, you know, how are people supposed to afford this?
• 44:02
  You know, the kids that look up to you, you know, the shoes are so expensive and shoes are expensive, especially when kids' feet grow so quick.
• 44:09
  He actually tore up his like multi-million dollar contract with, whichever shoe company, and, went to a shoe manufacturer and created the Shaq shoe so all kids had an affordable basketball shoe.
• 44:25
  Oh, I like that story.
• 44:27
  Yeah.
• 44:27
  So I thought that was really cool.
• 44:29
  I saw that.
• 44:29
  I think it was like a, he was doing an interview for some, you know, whatever night talk show or whatever, and he had told that story and I was like, that's like commendable.
• 44:38
  it is, it is.
• 44:40
  He seems he's a funny guy.
• 44:41
  Yeah.
• 44:42
  I've seen him in interviews and he does some of the E S P N commentary and stuff and he's, funny with his kids too.
• 44:48
  Cause they'll say, oh, like, we're rich.
• 44:50
  And he's like, no, I'm rich.
• 44:52
  Yeah, you have a rich father.
• 44:53
  Like you are not rich.
• 44:55
  And then I forgot what the statement is that he says, but it's something about no cheddar until basically they can't get any of his money until they get like two degrees.
• 45:05
  Mm-hmm.
• 45:06
  so, and he's got like this funny little rhyme that he says, which I am totally blanking on.
• 45:11
  But that's something that's cool too.
• 45:12
  He's not just handing them everything, he's getting them to, you know, be self-sufficient.
• 45:19
  Before he just starts throwing the money.
• 45:21
  I like that.
• 45:21
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:23
  I forgot which movie star it was.
• 45:25
  but they people were like outraged at the allowance that they give their, they gave their child, but, at the age of like 10 and say it was like$10,000 or whatever.
• 45:34
  but they had to pay rent, they had to pay utilities.
• 45:37
  they had to like write checks to their parents, cuz they were teaching them like, okay, easy come, easy go.
• 45:42
  Like it's in, it goes out when you have to pay bills.
• 45:45
  and, you know, they, they, you know, allotted, you know, by the end of the, all their bills they had like, I know it sounds like a lot, but like, say like a thousand dollars left over, um mm-hmm.
• 45:56
  You know, but for, you know, movie stars that's like nothing for Right.
• 46:01
  One when they started with$15,000 or whatever and that it how fast it goes.
• 46:06
  Right.
• 46:06
  Um, so I thought that was like a cool concept, to teach kids about like paying bills and, and accounting for your money and not blowing it as soon as you get it.
• 46:14
  Cuz Lord knows, like di not so much anymore, he's good at saving money now, but Dylan used to, it would burn a hole in that kid's pocket.
• 46:21
  I mean, it would, he would get$20 and it would be gone in like he would be gone 30 minutes and you wanna spend it, but he's got a lot better at saving for things that he really wants or, being more responsible financially.
• 46:36
  So, yeah.
• 46:38
  Yeah.
• 46:38
  I saw where he posted something on, I think it was his TikTok with some stringing of the restringing of the.
• 46:45
  Lacrosse.
• 46:47
  What cradles?
• 46:47
  Is that what they're called?
• 46:48
  Um, the heads Sticks.
• 46:50
  The heads, sorry.
• 46:51
  Yeah.
• 46:51
  Um, so is he doing a lot of that for people?
• 46:55
  he has done several, for a lot of his teammates and stuff.
• 46:58
  and he does, he really enjoys it.
• 47:00
  But like, it takes, you know, like the string, like tears up his fingers, not tears him up, but like, he, like, they get sore.
• 47:07
  It's almost like playing like guitar, where you're, yeah, you have to like, build up that whatever es almost.
• 47:13
  Yeah.
• 47:14
  but he, he does, he, you know, he loves lacrosse.
• 47:16
  Lacrosse is life.
• 47:18
  yeah.
• 47:18
  And he watches, you know, videos for hours, on how to do different types of, you know, stringing for different, you know, throws and whatever.
• 47:28
  So he's, you know, he definitely likes to educate himself on all of that.
• 47:32
  And then that's good, you know, implement it while he's creating these like funky designs with the colors Yeah.
• 47:38
  And stuff like that.
• 47:39
  So, yeah.
• 47:40
  He's a good kid.
• 47:41
  Yeah.
• 47:41
  I can't wait to see his Yeah, it's so cute.
• 47:45
  It's so different.
• 47:46
  Like every time he walks in the room, I'm like, yeah.
• 47:50
  Like, hey, share a kick and I'll put a pick of Jackson sleeping on the doll bed.
• 47:54
  Yeah.
• 47:55
  All right.
• 47:55
  Well, what is our book for next week?
• 47:58
  Our book for next week is by BA Paris.
• 48:01
  That's right.
• 48:01
  Hang on one second.
• 48:02
  Cause I totally forgot.
• 48:03
  Behind closed doors, right?
• 48:04
  Yes.
• 48:05
  Yes.
• 48:06
  And, I think we should do Arkansas.
• 48:08
  Ooh, I'm loving these southern states.
• 48:11
  There are some funky stuff out there.
• 48:13
  Yes, there is.
• 48:14
  So I think that, we can do Arkansas and get some good material.
• 48:19
  Awesome.
• 48:20
  And hopefully, the, the bodysuit snatching thingy comes welcome from Poland.
• 48:27
