Yesterday we had him in here. Amanda's kids Sydney and who's is she five?
0:04
Now? She is five? Ye? Yes, Briggs was in her
0:06
two of course. But it was the big preschool graduation. You only graduate
0:10
from pre school one time. And Amanda, you had the task from your
0:14
daughter city she asked you, She asked one thing of you. That was
0:17
it, and it was what to not embarrass her? Right, yes,
0:20
that was kind of her thing. She was like, mom, are you
0:24
You're gonna cry, aren't you? And she's been really setting this up because
0:28
they had numerous songs that they were going to be singing at their own graduation,
0:31
at their program, and she just she knew one of them was going
0:35
to hit me because I always tell her I love you, love you more.
0:38
And there was a song about I love you one hundred I believe was
0:41
the name of it. Oh, like one hundred emoji like the one hundred.
0:46
That sounds very modern. I like that. The kids are doing that,
0:49
okay, So, and I actually have audio. I had a microphone
0:52
set up in the room. And yesterday the lovely staff over at Peace Academy
0:58
put together this program and they ended it with these two songs and this one
1:03
got mama just shedding the tears. Well, it's here. I love you,
1:15
I love you, I love you. I do and I know and
1:19
I know you're crying right now. This is crazy. So you did?
1:23
Did you let it go? So? Well? I held it together like
1:26
I am right now, just like really trying to hold back my tears and
1:30
just the sweetest so Sydney looked at me. At the very end, she
1:33
comes running over and Nick goes, go to the go to the car and
1:37
get your sunglasses because they had a little ice cream truck afterwards, to just
1:42
go to the car, get in the car, get out of here.
1:45
Just put on my sunglasses, and I was, I was, I was
1:48
good. To go left right afterwards so I could try not to cry.
1:52
And then I really I had to go upstairs. When we got home,
1:55
Nick hung out with the kids while I just burst in it. Really I
1:57
just couldn't take it. Yes, how do the other parents cry? Also?
2:00
Yes, there was a couple of parents crying. I had a couple
2:04
of messages from parents saying that they held it together until they got home as
2:07
well. One mom is going to be going through it today. She just
2:09
messaged me said thank you for your honesty, because she's been crying for a
2:13
month as well. No, you got to prepare yourself, Amanda, because
2:16
preschool, Like we're not even to grade one yet. No, we're not
2:21
even the kindergarten. You know, there's like thirteen more of these. I
2:23
know, when do they stop? Because I remember doing for me anyway,
2:27
did a sixth grade graduation and then of course the main one. But what
2:30
do they do a very year now at this point? No, you know,
2:34
I'm really not sure. This was my first, Like they're going to
2:37
do a kindergarten one, right, perhaps I would think so, I honestly
2:40
am not sure. You know. Really, what I'm doing Pike is taking
2:44
it one day at a time. So today these poor people at Peace Academy
2:47
have to deal with me again because Briggs has his spring program, so he's
2:51
going to be in pre K for two more years. So they're not calling
2:53
this one a graduation. No, this is just a spring program. Oh
2:55
good, and uh, he gave me a little sneak of what I can
3:00
expect to spoiler. He's seeing no sign but listen, peace peace peace either
3:13
sacking peace peace peace peace. It's pretty good, I know. And he's
3:21
learning to snap I said all the actions down. I know, it's the
3:24
last time didn't kind of freeze up a bit, and you know, usually
3:28
in front of people, he does freeze up. So it's nice that I
3:30
get my own little performance at home. That's good. Uh. In the
3:32
background, you can hear Nick Sydney stop at your brother's time, because she
3:37
really tries to steal the show every time he stands something like sid hold back.
3:40
We gotta let Briggsy do his his moment. Yeah, yeah, well
3:44
that's exciting. But I mean the good news is that if they do graduations
3:46
every year, it'll just kind of dilute the whole thing. So by the
3:50
time she's a senior, you won't care at all. Yeah. All the
3:52
moms listening right now to their kids going off to college, you know,
3:55
some people they'll get excited about it. It's like, get out of the
3:58
house. We're done with you. I'm supposed to on your relationship with her
4:00
child. Do you like it? Ad in the morning? Big Naty eight
4:03
point seven, Why don't we blow ourselves right into the judgment zone. It's
4:10
a weird thing to say, but nonetheless it's the judgment zone, meaning time
4:14
to get a little judgie if you're okay with that, and it is okay
4:17
what it's for. So we got somebody with a little situation on their hands.
4:20
We're gonna call her Jackie. She's on the phone right now. Good
4:24
morning, Jackie, Good morning. How are you very good? Better than
4:27
you? Gosh? What you got going on? Yeah, you got a
4:29
little situation. Tell us what you're going through right now? Yeah, it's
4:32
that great. So I live by a park. I have a four and
4:36
a six year old and we go there all the time. But there's this
4:41
group of boys and they're kind of a bunch of bullies. They go to
4:45
the park all so it really ruins it for all of us. They've been
4:49
bullying my kids also now, and I've even pulled them aside and talked to
4:54
them about how that's wrong and you shouldn't do that, and oh wow,
4:58
you know, for you, a lot of people just I try to ignore
5:00
it. But yeah, I don't ignore saying something. Oh yeah, I
5:04
don't ignore. Not when it comes to my kids. You know, other
5:06
kid parents, that's their decision, but not me. And I tried to
5:12
talk to them, and it's just not changing their behavior for any reason.
5:16
I don't know where they live. I don't know who their parents are.
5:20
I honestly don't. I don't have any idea where they're coming from. And
5:24
I just don't know. I just don't. I don't know how to handle
5:27
the situation. Like I tried talking to them and it's not working. Like,
5:30
what's the next step I say something wrong? Yeah, that's interesting.
5:34
I mean, obviously we would say, hey, talk to their parents,
5:36
but given that you don't know, that makes a little harder. So I
5:40
don't what should she do. Here's what we're going to do. We're going
5:43
to open the phones up. We're going to talk to some people, get
5:45
some opinions. I would bet there's a parent out there who's been through something
5:48
similar totally, So we're going to get some advice for you. Okay,
5:50
I appreciate it so much. Thank you, my kids, thank you.
5:55
Of course. Let's see what we can do. Maybe you're that parent that's
5:57
been through something similar. Seven oh one two eight oh one ninety eight seven,
6:00
please call or text. We're in the judgment zone, Amanda. What
6:04
would you do you've been through something like this? You know, we have
6:06
a park near our home and we have not seen this. Like every once
6:11
in a while, you hear foul language and stuff. It's like, okay,
6:15
yes, I know my kids can hear it. I just try to
6:16
like move my kids away from the situation. I've never spoken to a kid
6:19
yet. I have not had a heated situation like that. Okay. It's
6:23
just interesting because you know, at some point this will likely happen. I
6:26
feel like this is something that's happened to all. We've all been through that.
6:30
Yeah, public parks, that's just going to happen. We did post
6:32
us on Facebook, and actually something that came to my mind. We have
6:35
a neighborhood group on social media, so maybe posting something in there I do
6:41
not care. And somebody I have to look at her name, had said,
6:44
do not post a picture of the kids. We had a situation in
6:46
our neighborhood group or somebody like took a picture of the kids and said whose
6:49
parents are these? That feels a little aggressive times. That's why I said,
6:54
it's just touchy when you're talking about other kids other because you don't know.
6:57
I mean, do you just like remove them from the situation, like
6:59
you said, just not bring them to that park anymore. Yeah. Amanda
7:02
Goodman had described the situation saying, hey, I would maybe if after you
7:06
talk to them posted on there. Tiffany is chiming and saying maybe the next
7:11
door app being able to put it on there. Oh, I deleted that
7:13
piece of garbage a long time ago. That's it. This is zero good
7:16
comes from that app. You know, I do not have like everything you
7:19
would want it for, like actual helpful information and community networking. It's just
7:24
like none of that. It's all trash, people complaining and just nothing good.
7:29
So, Tiffany, it sounds like that's a horrible idea. I'm sorry,
7:31
Tiffany, your idea was good. The app itself is just trash.
7:34
What do you think? What should you do? Kids are getting bullied.
7:38
Doesn't know the parents of these these bullies, So how do you handle it?
7:41
Seven one two eighth one ninety eight seven. We are in the judgment
7:45
zone, so get a little judgy t get a minute in the morning.
7:49
We are in the middle of the judgment zone, however, so we need
7:51
to get back to the situation. A mom called in because bringing her kids
7:56
to a public park and there are some bullies that will just not stop ruining
8:00
in for everybody. Only problem they don't got parents around they don't know who
8:03
these kids are, they don't know where they live. So this woman we're
8:05
calling her Jackie, wants to know how she should handle this situation because she
8:09
has already talked to the kids and it's just it's still progressing and it's got
8:13
little kids. You just don't want that to happen, right, You want
8:16
to be able to enjoy a public Parky. So what do you think seven
8:18
oh one two, eight oh one ninety eight seven? What should she do?
8:22
Yeah, I'm responding to the woman that just is called Yes, are
8:26
you feeling judgy today? Because that's a goal here, to be honest,
8:30
Yeah, a little bit. I just I understand where she's coming from.
8:33
But I this is what I believe. I just follow the boys home and
8:37
follow where they live, and then talk to their parents when they get home,
8:41
all of them home, and I mean it makes sense, but it
8:43
feels a little like don't you feel that, I mean, following kids home?
8:46
Don't you feel like this sort of some you know, weirdness to that.
8:50
I understand the implication, but we're talking about your kid here. You
8:54
know, desperate times called for desperate measures. At at the point, it's
8:58
a good point all right, interesting perspective. Thank you sir. Well,
9:01
good morning, Big ninety eight point seven. The other idea I thought was
9:05
maybe writing like a quick little letter and kind of trying to keep it as
9:07
kind as you can, just say, hey, you know, i'd love
9:11
to chat with you. Here's my number because you please reach out. You
9:13
could try that and give it to the kids and say, hey, could
9:16
you give your parents invitation? You start, they're gonna prank me. But
9:20
that's just also because I work with Pike. Yeah, well exactly. Yeah,
9:24
the odds. I imagine me getting that letter. Oh you want me
9:26
to give a letter to my parents, I'm not getting home. I'll tell
9:30
you that. I mean that was like, yeah, I could say that
9:31
it was like an invitation to a party or so, you know, but
9:35
I get that too. It's what I mean. Well, like you said,
9:39
what's the worst that could happen? I mean, it is better than
9:41
what other alternatives do you have at this point you don't know who the parents
9:45
are. Yeah, it's worth a try. I guess that's what I pussed
9:48
into my head. So good luck, Thank you so much for calling,
9:50
and I appreciate you. Yeah, take care, guys. Bye, Well,
9:52
good morning, big ninety eight point seven. So what I would probably
9:56
do, and I've done this before, is videotape the children bullian the littler
10:03
kids. Yeah, and then follow those kids home so you can show the
10:09
parents what their kids are doing, so that way they can nip it in
10:15
the butt. Yeah, that's I mean, you're showing proof, and I
10:18
guess if I'm a parent, I'm gonna want that as well. But all
10:20
those parents, we think our kids are a little angels and would never do
10:24
anything like that, of course, so this would actually show proof that your
10:30
kid is bullying. Littler kids can't happen. Okay, so this is another
10:33
vote for following the kids home, which you know, we're sort of out
10:37
of options at this point, so you might have to and then videoing.
10:41
I know, Amana, you said that some people are kind of iffy about
10:43
videoing other kids or taking photos of that. I wouldn't. I wouldn't post
10:46
it online, right, but I would actually video it and then show it
10:50
to the other parents. Well, thank you for the call. Yeah,
10:52
you guys, have a great day. I appreciate good thoughts. Here in
10:56
the judgment zone, we've got one more extreme here. We've got to Shayla.
11:01
We've got Melissa, Steve and Justice all on our Facebook page saying that
11:05
you should call the police and have them contact the parents. Interesting, it
11:09
feels futile. Are the police really going to do it? It feels what
11:13
I'm sorry Sometimes I'm sorry Sometimes did I start working with a new human being?
11:20
That that feels what? Pike pointless? We'll say that sorry. I
11:24
read one book one time and occasionally few too. What it means like not
11:28
worth the effort, Like it's not going to go anywhere. I guess try,
11:31
but odds are I don't think the police have bigger issues, That's what
11:35
I'm saying. I didn't following them home and then if they don't answer,
11:37
if you can't get them to answer the door, stay out outside their house
11:41
and all their parents to work. Now, that's fewtiles, Amanda in the
11:46
morning on Big You know, it's refreshing that it seems like a lot more
11:50
people are prioritizing work life balance, right. I mean it used to be
11:54
it was just work, work, work, work, work where semi have
11:58
to work work. Right now, though, companies are making it easier for
12:01
you to enjoy more of your personal time, your family time, right so
12:05
that maybe that's remote work, hybrid schedules, being able to be home a
12:07
couple days a week, flexibility. Absolutely, four day work weeks you hear
12:11
about those, which is enticing. I know that sounds so good. I
12:16
would love a four day work week. However, bad news, Amanda.
12:20
In a sudden shift. There are companies around the world mandating a six day
12:24
work week. Come again, there are around the world mandating a six day
12:33
work week. That's gonna be a no for me. Well, then you
12:41
won't be getting a job with. Oh I don't know big companies like Samsung
12:45
anytime, so I hope somebody does, because no way I'm turning over to
12:48
Apple. I'm gonna need some Samsung Galaxy people on my not act like the
12:52
condition the conditions of those factories have ever been a concern of yours. Oh
12:56
gosh, I mean, because do you think this iPhone is being made in
13:00
I don't know how many days a week they're working, but I know they're
13:01
probably twelve years old and working fifteen hour days. I'm not sure. I
13:05
just know that I'm about two years into this one, and so it's slowly
13:09
shutting down. It's just weird how that happens here. I'm talking about child
13:13
labor issues abroad, and your concern is your phone's batteries maybe dying. I
13:18
mean, come on, bike, we're not hitting the heavy topics. Back
13:22
to the issue at hand, and that's us maybe having to work a six
13:24
day work week, okay, I mean after comes in a while, we
13:26
do with like different events and things like that. But you plan accordingly or
13:31
however it may be. You know, it's not ideal. It's not six
13:35
full days, that's right, I mean right, maybe once a year.
13:37
But there are companies, even the US. They did this whole survey of
13:39
big employers around the US and shockingly, nine percent of them said they plan
13:45
to mandate a six day work week in twenty twenty five. So it's not
13:48
a ton, but it's still you know, one out of ten. Are
13:50
they saying like six days and then you get like a week off or is
13:54
this just full on six? It sounds like it's they expect you to work
13:56
even more than forty hours a week, So it's not like you could do
14:00
six six hour days or something like that. You know, I always talk
14:05
about nurses, and you know, really appreciate the work nurses do and I
14:09
know it's very hard. You're on your feet all day. Never do emotions
14:11
of it. But just overall, three twelve hour days a week would be
14:16
about right. I feel like I think I would like that, or for
14:20
even four ten hours. Yeah, absolutely, but the sixth there, that's
14:24
going to be a hard No. Good morning, big ninety two point seven.
14:28
Good morning. So I worked a four day work week, you do,
14:31
yep, but I don't have set hours? Okay, what do you
14:35
do? If you don't mind me being a little nosy. I'm a vendor
14:39
and I start at four thirty in the morning, and sometimes I can have
14:43
a fourteen hour day, right, and then the next day I'll have like
14:46
a ten, and I'll have like a six. Would you rather have a
14:48
five day, like normal work week, or like just eight hours a day?
14:52
No, Like you said, I would love for ten and just be
14:56
done. Be so nice. Thanks for calling. What was your name?
14:58
Ashley? Ashley? All right? Well, if I ever need any vending
15:01
I know who to call you guys. Have a good day. Yeah you
15:05
too, Thank you. I appreciate that. That's interesting. I should have
15:09
asked. That's very generic. I was like, vending machine. Is that
15:13
what she's doing at four thirty every morning. I don't get up vending machines
15:18
Amanda in the morning. I now Amanda stills the sea. Let's see.
15:24
So we really haven't heard anything until now about Matthew Perry's death other than it
15:28
was kind of an open and shutcase. Like it was. We just knew
15:31
that there. I mean, there was no foul play nobody. I didn't
15:35
think the authorities were looking into anything. Well, the autopsy, which a
15:39
weird way to say that word, but it was released and it was due
15:43
to the effects of ketamine. But then also they said other causes of death
15:46
included like drowning, so it was kind of a combination of the ketamine and
15:50
then of course he was in a hot tub, so he did drown as
15:52
well. Right, so now we're finding out authorities are digging into how he
15:56
got the ketamine. So no arrests have been made, but they are saying,
16:00
yes, he was undergoing kind of an infusion therapy for depression and anxiety.
16:03
He didn't do that, I guess right away, like that week while
16:07
this was going on, so it was like a week prior, so the
16:10
amounts and the levels that were in his system, Like where did he get
16:12
it. So they're doing an investigation into that. Interesting. I mean obviously
16:17
the person. You know, if you've known somebody who's overdosed, it's always
16:19
like, yeah, you want to you want to get the person who gave
16:22
it to him by kind of like Michael Jackson situation with a propofol and that
16:26
doctor. Man. That was a long time ago. Where were you,
16:33
Where were you working in radio? I remember it was like June twenty fifth.
16:37
I'll never forget, Like the hallways people were running rampant, like Michael
16:41
Jackson, just like Michael Jackson songs. Get the Michael Jackson songs on Crazy
16:45
Wit a day. Yesterday, Corney Cox by the Way, he sat down
16:48
for an interview and talked about how she still hangs out with Matthew Perry.
16:51
I think he's probably one of the funniest human beings in the world. I'm
16:55
so thankful I got to work so closely with him for so many years.
16:57
He visits me a lot. If we believe in that, you know,
17:00
I talked to my mom, my dad, Matthew. I feel like there
17:04
are a lot of people that are I think that guide us. Yeah,
17:08
I sent Matthew's around for sure. This sounds like the beginning of it.
17:11
I could have swore I was in the future listening to Amanda talk after I
17:15
pass away. I think he's probably one of the funniest human beings in the
17:18
world. I'm so thankful I got to work so closely with him for so
17:22
many years. You know that you're gonna do me like that, I'm gonna
17:26
do you like that? Well that, yes, I will talk about you
17:29
that way. Boy, I mean, now, what are you going to
17:33
say about me? He's right, it was I She made me come back
17:40
from Florida one time, and then I was like, oh boy, what
17:41
did I do? He loved wine and all right. Diddy's abology video.
17:51
People are still talking about it, and one of the things we are takeaways
17:53
from it, minus the fact it was like really icky, was the fact
17:57
that he did not say name, He did not apologize to Cassie at all.
18:03
Well, we're finding out now that they signed a very strict NDA because
18:07
remember they settled just last year, so neither party can say each other's name
18:11
publicly. So that is why she is silent on social media right now,
18:15
because people are kind of waiting for her to say, yeah, I told
18:18
you guys, this is me, and nobody believed me. And now you've
18:22
seen the footage, but she cannot say anything. And that's pretty standard for
18:26
those NDAs or for those agreements or settlements, which you wish, I know,
18:30
for our sake, for him to be able to pay for what he
18:33
did. I know you wish that wasn't the case, but that's what they
18:36
agreed that, Like, you're gonna get him some way, shape or form.
18:40
I hope so. And the Drake and kenn Okamar beef got so big
18:45
that even Tom Hanks was like, I need to know what's going on here.
18:48
And I went through this a couple of weeks ago. I had to
18:51
follow along it. There was like the BuzzFeed story about how far it went
18:55
back, what was going on? Yeah, I had read it so much,
18:56
those articles too, because I heard about it. But I just wanted
18:59
to full breakdown. How did it start? What was exactly accused of each
19:03
other? You know exactly? So Tom Hanks reached out to his son Chet
19:07
and asked him to break it down via text, and Chet did all of
19:10
us a solid by sharing the screenshots on social media. And this is how
19:14
Tom Hanks reached out to his son, Big Maine. Can you explain that
19:18
Drake Kendall camarfu to me? And then he sends him like fourteen paragraphs.
19:22
It feels like of what went down, including the disc tracks, and Tom
19:26
simply responds back, Holy cow, these are fighting words. Who's winning?
19:32
So funny the way who is winning? I feel like this all just went
19:34
away. Last we heard there was a drive by shooting at Drake's place where
19:38
the security guard, to our knowledge is okay, but he was shot at.
19:44
And I that was Kendrick went over there. From when I read that
19:45
he went over to Drakes to basically say, hey, like that was not
19:48
me, you know really Yeah, but now they're going over there in sleepovers
19:52
or just like I said he went over there, I didn't say he stayed
19:56
the night. That was weird. Yeah, video there was a video of
19:59
Kendrick leaving the next morning. He looked a little disheveled. So I think
20:03
that's where we're at Pillow fights. Is that what we're attending. Now here's
20:10
what you need to know. Well, yesterday was interesting again. It was
20:14
an eventful day. The prosecution rested its case against former President Trump in the
20:18
hush money case at alleges he committed fraud to hide payments to adult film stars
20:22
Stormy Daniels. The defense called its first two witnesses, which included lawyer Robert
20:27
Costello, a witness that became problematic effort. He began muttering to himself on
20:30
the stand and commenting on objections. The judge cleared the court room of jurors
20:36
and reporters to discuss the prepper decorum in his courtroom. The defense also made
20:41
a motion to dismiss the case, saying that the prosecution had failed to prove
20:44
that business records were falsified, which is, of course the basis of the
20:47
case. The judge said that he will wait to decide on his motion to
20:51
dismiss. He can't be murmuring on the stand. Are you crazy? Order?
20:55
Order, order, Come on now, I'm not even a judge,
21:00
and I'm afair to know that. You know that. I know, all
21:03
right, we've been hearing about this, but it officially happened. Red Lobster
21:07
is filing for bankruptcy but plans to remain. A few businesses are going to
21:11
be remaining, so I think there's like a hundred of them closing. I
21:14
have not heard anything about local. Well it's still there. Yeah, they
21:17
haven't demolished it, so that's good. That's good. That's step one.
21:18
I think they're still open though for now. Yes, maybe here's a deep
21:23
thought for you. They all close eventually stop it. They blame being put
21:30
on. I guess a major misstep was the endless Shrimp. That's kind of
21:33
where they're putting some of the blame. But they made it permanent. It
21:34
was normally just a limited time thing. I know, crazy, I mean
21:38
it was crazy. I don't know what the numbers look like. I gotta
21:41
think that people high up like crunch them. As far as the numbers go,
21:45
you gotta crunch them before you do something like that. Absolutely, trust
21:48
me. I used to crunch numbers. Number munch Er. I loved that.
21:52
I was seriously one of my favorites. Number Munches. That's not a
21:56
yes, it was a game, right, yeah, but that's like that's
21:59
a does munching of the numbers. As I've ever, we're not talking about
22:02
munch When at what point did we transition to munching instead of crunching Because that
22:06
was the name of the game. Number Munchers. Number Munchers and Oregon trail
22:11
on those computers growing up? Are you kidding me? You are getting off
22:14
the rails high. I couldn't help it. I'm talking about crunching them.
22:15
I'm talking about like you know, before you make a big purchase, you
22:18
gotta put some numbers in a spreadsheet. What what was the story? I'm
22:22
talking about munching them red robsters, CLA. That's what got me, the
22:26
cheddar biscuits. That's what I'm That's what I want to be munching on right
22:29
now. I'd like to be in your head. You are all do you
22:36
do? You want to be in my head? Just to take it?
22:37
I'd like a day pass if I could. You don't, actually though,
22:45
I'd like to return. What night? All right? A company called pop
22:49
i d has signed a deal with JP Morgan, so it's customers can start
22:53
paying for things. What was the name of the company again, pop I
22:57
D? Oh? Did you pop ey D? I guess I'm right into
23:03
that. But you know, like pop Ey the character got it, got
23:07
it, got it, got it. So what customers can start expecting.
23:11
They're doing a little pilot program right now as facial recognition when you're paying for
23:15
things. This is unsettling to me. Yes, it sounds good, Like,
23:18
oh, okay, I can just look at you, blink twice and
23:22
I just paid with my debit card. Well, I think it's where we're
23:25
headed. I know right now it might be scary. I guess I'm just
23:26
trust me. This is how I felt about flying cars, drones, all
23:30
of that. Yeah, like I said maybe a week ago. The sooner
23:33
I can get this wallet out of my back pocket, the better, the
23:36
better. I mean, what are we doing all right? Today? We
23:37
have a wind advisory? Could see got something about fifty miles per hour?
23:41
Otherwise rain throughout the day higher sixty one, Like get a minute in the
23:44
morning, Come on, get up on dig seven. Here's a woman that
23:49
could use a little direction, in my opinion. She claims to be the
23:53
most tattooed woman in Australia. Okay, just to give you an idea,
23:57
how many tattoos and body modification she has going on head to toel she has
24:02
spent over one hundred and forty four thousand dollars. Oh my gosh, does
24:06
she have a piece of her body not tattooed after this? I don't think
24:08
so, because she has just gotten her eyeballs tattooed. Oh gosh, how
24:15
is that even possible? Well, it is possible. Here's the craziest thing,
24:18
Even crazier than just the fact she's doing it. She did it already
24:22
seven years ago. Oh, this just like makes my eyes water thinking about
24:26
it. And after she did it seven years ago, she went blind for
24:32
three whole weeks, couldn't see a thing. How would you ever legally tattoo
24:37
eyeballs? And are you tattooing? Yeah, there's no way you can do
24:41
anything you want to your body. Yeah, but what tattoo artist is going
24:44
to allow? And how you're puncturing your eye? I don't get it.
24:48
I can get you as information curious? Yeah, like I'd like some more
24:52
information. And is it like coloring it or what? Yeah? So she
24:55
the first time she had gotten the whites of her eyes inked bright blue.
25:00
I imagine that it looks like something out of what's that movie? What's that
25:03
blue guy movie? Don't they have contacts for stuff like this? People?
25:06
Yeah? But I mean, if you're gonna do it, commit now real
25:10
quick. What's that blue movie? You know what I'm talking about? Big
25:11
one, big big movie? Avatar? Yeah? Thank you? Got it
25:15
looking like something out of Avatar? Now seven years later, after getting the
25:18
whites of her eyes colored blue, she's got like a black swirl added.
25:22
So now it looks more oh she aanah. To be fair, you know,
25:26
to be fair, it does looks pretty cool. You want to see
25:30
your picture right here? Oh no, no, it looks like she has
25:33
a black guy. Yeah. That's gotta be the worst spot to get a
25:36
tattoo. See. I was actually thinking kind of like around your your like
25:38
nosearara, just even around your eyes, how sensitive that would be and even
25:42
close to like a muscle the area I've always wanted a foot tattoo. That's
25:47
kind of the one place I've wanted it. And everybody's like, uh uh,
25:49
the pain of a tattoo on your foot would be awful, that's what
25:52
they say. But like you could get through it, right, yeah,
25:56
but then it also rubs off so much so you have to get it filled
25:59
a lot were shoes. How mad do you want it? That's what I
26:02
would ask you. It's not very bad, That's why I don't have That's
26:04
fine. Yeah, I mean I got one on my arm and it was
26:06
like uncomfortable, but not anything It would prevent me from getting one. Did
26:10
you cry? Tear up. No, No, absolutely, not a bit
26:15
wry me a man Amanda crying. I don't think so. No, I'm
26:19
just like this. An alcohol swab makes me a little like you know what
26:23
I mean, before you're about to get like a needle. That smell alone
26:27
makes me cringe. Really, yes, look at my arm. I mean
26:30
I don't eat plasma, so I'm getting needles just pumped in me twice a
26:33
week. I'm such a pants too, such a pancy. It's stuck a
26:38
pen in you look at it. Good for you though, that's awesome.
26:41
Yeah, it's all about saved lives. Absolutely, you're one hundred percent right,
26:44
Amanda. Like get Amanda in the morning on what did you stop really
26:51
like getting into new music? Because there's a certain age that we all kind
26:55
of get to where you just start to kind of listen to the same stuff,
26:57
the same stuff you grew up with. Before you answer a mandon okay,
27:00
there's actual studies being done to determine when adults stop listening to new music,
27:07
and they determined that it is approximately at the age of thirty one.
27:11
Is really so, do we just start to listen to the same stuff so
27:14
the tastes of your music evolved between your teen years throughout your twenties, and
27:18
then you reach the maturity at around thirty one. Interesting. I mean,
27:22
this is a tough question because I listened to our new music all of the
27:26
time. And if you're if you're listening to this radio station, of course
27:30
you're hearing new music. Yeah, and sometimes it hits and sometimes I'm like,
27:33
oh, okay, whatever. I I mean, if I were to
27:37
pick a genre of whatever, you no secret I'm a country girl, but
27:41
I'll listen to like nineties country. We just went on a road trip and
27:44
outside of listening to Luke COM's Fastcar one hundred and forty five times with the
27:48
kids, it was I like, like old school country, Yeah, that's
27:52
kind kind of my jail well, or we'll do like nineties like pop.
27:57
Yeah. I mean, it's just the nostalgia. And some people try to
28:00
deny nostalgia, like as if it's not you know, it's not cool or
28:03
not hip to enjoy older music. But I mean there's something to it,
28:07
Like I don't. I just embrace it. I play in the nineties and
28:10
two thousands cover band, and based on the reactions of people when we play
28:14
an old blank win eighty two song or you know all American rejects versus if
28:18
we were to try to play something new, the reactions like I'll take the
28:22
old one. Yeah, I like that reaction from people. Yeah, it
28:26
is interesting. I think of some of the songs, like, for instance,
28:30
right now, justin Timberlakes new Jam, right away, I was like,
28:32
I do one of my favorite songs right now. You know some of
28:34
Taylor's new music loving that. It really just depends. And it's not to
28:38
say you don't enjoy new music, but are you really seeking it out?
28:41
Like, are you listening if somebody drops a new album. Maybe, with
28:45
the exception of Taylor's What's Gonna Say? A lot of friends who are swifties,
28:48
and it's amazing to me how they're still like they hanging on to every
28:52
word she says, going through the lyrics. I mean, they are the
28:56
ones that back in the day when we were in BMG and Columbia house music
29:00
clubs, you'd open up the CD and start going through the lyrics just to
29:03
try to memorize it. Yeah, it does say that people with kids are
29:07
more likely to listen to new music. Of course, if you're in the
29:10
car with your kids and they're constantly wanting to listen to their stuff. Well,
29:12
then just you don't have much of a choice. You're gonna be listening
29:15
to new music. But I feel like I always enjoyed older music, even
29:18
when I remember, like when you could first download music illegally, so like
29:22
early two thousands, LimeWire days, napstrac all I wanted to download was the
29:26
songs I quote grew up with, even though thinking back, I'm maybe thirteen
29:30
years old, so you're talking about four or five years before, you know,
29:34
But to you then it was really old ninety stuff. Yeah no,
29:38
I hear yeah, like Sheryl Crow. And I don't need to I don't
29:41
need to explain to you what nineties music is, you know what I mean?
29:45
Yeah, I still try to listen to new bands, being a band
29:48
boy, but even then, it's like some of the bands, the new
29:52
quote new bands I'm into, well they've been around for ten years, so
29:53
it's not really that new. Yeah. Yeah, I like a good mix.
29:56
I like to hear a new song like kind of an EBB and flow.
30:00
Oh yeah, yeah, real ebb and flow, Like if I were
30:03
to burn a CD. Used to be like slow jams or Ashley and Amanda
30:07
cruising the strip in Woodina Deer Creek hit makes this Woe would Be? That
30:12
was a name of it. Oh yeah, you want to run out of
30:15
right? Could you small? How small? Could you write? Oh yeah?
30:17
And then you just tons of like ridiculous. I wish I had somebody
30:21
stole my huge thing of CDs, big purple case of them. I wish
30:26
I could go back and know some of the mixed not tapes of CDs that
30:30
I had had. Yeah, I can still remember, like I can remember
30:33
certain songs that came like if I hear a fifty cent song, because I
30:37
had pretty much all my burn CDs were almost just exclusively fifty cent. Can
30:41
you hear the end of a song? I think? I know? Yeah.
30:45
Could you listen to so many times? And that's what's different now,
30:47
You don't like, there's just so much music and it's so accessible. There
30:51
was nothing better to listen to the heck out of eighteen songs over and over
30:55
for the same an entire summer. You youngsters listening right now, You'll just
31:00
never know. That's moral of the story, you youngsters. You tapes right,
31:04
Oh, I remember I remember putting the tape on the tape before church
31:10
on Sunday mornings to record like the Rick D's Weekly countdown so I could hear
31:15
it. That's ridiculous. Yeah, you could get like four songs on it.
31:18
I remember mowing the lawn as a kid with four songs on the tapes
31:22
over and over, and we had a big yard. So the amount of
31:25
times I listened to Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. Not mad about
31:29
it. I'm just saying I remember cruising to Barnesville to visit Grim and Milly
31:33
and Semi charm Life. That was. We never knew the lyrics like you
31:36
couldn't just find you you do? We sing at every show we played.
31:38
I don't think my brothers still knows the worst we were like writing a pen
31:41
and a paper, or going back and forth just trying to hear what it
31:45
was doing. Crystal Meth will lift you up until you break. I don't
31:48
remember those knotty lyrics. I know they actually censored it. Maybe I shouldn't
31:52
have said it. I don't know. Yeah, I don't think I knew that
