0:32
Speaker 2: It has been a hell of a week here. We've
0:35
Speaker 2: had storm after storm. We had a really nice weekend though,
0:39
Speaker 2: but we're back to having storms again.
0:42
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like, well, I lost power multiple times in
0:47
Speaker 1: one night. It was it was on, it was off
0:49
Speaker 1: and off. I'm like, what is going on? The rain,
0:51
Speaker 1: the winds, they were whipping around like the weather's going crazy.
0:56
Speaker 1: And I have to say and like, you know, guys,
0:58
Speaker 1: is my little tinfoil hat on? But I you know,
1:02
Speaker 1: I want to say this because I kind of feel good.
1:04
Speaker 1: I feel a little better about my craziness. I've been
1:08
Speaker 1: was driving to work today and I saw like all
1:09
Speaker 1: the chemtrails in the sky, and Shanna, you know me,
1:11
Speaker 1: I have how many years have I been talking about chemtrails?
1:15
Speaker 2: I also knew about that.
1:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm saying I'm always vocal about it, you know.
1:18
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, very vocal. And I when I was
1:21
Speaker 1: a little girl, my father as a little girl, this
1:24
Speaker 1: is back. I'm talking in the nineties. My father would
1:27
Speaker 1: talk to me about chemtrails and show me them in
1:29
Speaker 1: the sky and saying, see, those are man made, those
1:31
Speaker 1: are chemicals. They're manipulating the weather and they're spraying this
1:35
Speaker 1: to protect us from the sun. And like I was like, oh, yeah, cool.
1:39
Speaker 1: And I'd go to school and tell my teacher, my
1:41
Speaker 1: earth science teacher or what and my teachers would be like, no, no,
1:45
Speaker 1: that's not real. Where are you hearing this from, you know?
1:48
Speaker 1: And I'm like, my dad told me, you know. And
1:50
Speaker 1: my dad had learned it from a friend that was
1:52
Speaker 1: in the military back in the seventies who told him
1:54
Speaker 1: that the government was spraying the skies and people thought
1:59
Speaker 1: I was crazy. My friend thought I was crazy. Some
2:01
Speaker 1: family though, and I'd always talk about it and I'm like,
2:03
Speaker 1: I'm no, I believe it. My dad told me. He
2:06
Speaker 1: was showing me articles. And so yesterday I was watching
2:10
Speaker 1: the news and all news stations are talking about cloud
2:15
Speaker 1: seating and weather manipulation, that it's real, and like they're
2:19
Speaker 1: saying it. They're not like saying everyone was right. They're
2:21
Speaker 1: actually bringing up like nonchalantly like they've always known it,
2:24
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, which
2:26
Speaker 1: I hate that. I hate that shit. So I just
2:29
Speaker 1: felt a little I felt a little good because I'm like,
2:32
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not that crazy. I was right all along.
2:36
Speaker 1: But anyway, yeah, like with the storms today, I was
2:38
Speaker 1: driving and Jeline is the one who pointed it out.
2:41
Speaker 1: She's like, Mommy, what's what's the lines in the sky?
2:45
Speaker 1: And I looked up and I'm like, oh, I'm like,
2:47
Speaker 1: she's not gonna understand. I'm like, yeah, there was a
2:49
Speaker 1: chemtrail's baby, they're not real clouds. She you know, she
2:51
Speaker 1: didn't understand.
2:52
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're.
2:52
Speaker 1: Gonna get bad storms now this week.
2:54
Speaker 2: So and I always was told that they came from planes.
2:59
Speaker 1: Yes, it is planes, but it's not there. If you
3:02
Speaker 1: look at a regular commercial liner up there, it's vapor, yes,
3:06
Speaker 1: like steam comes out, it dissipates right away. You ever
3:09
Speaker 1: look at a big plane in the sky, do you
3:10
Speaker 1: see trails for sitting in the snow twenty minutes?
3:14
Speaker 2: No, because they go what it goes away because.
3:16
Speaker 1: It's not chemicals. When you see the plane spraying and
3:19
Speaker 1: it stays for fifteen twenty minutes. That is chemicals. They're
3:23
Speaker 1: spraying aluminum and a few other different chemicals. It's called
3:26
Speaker 1: cloud seating, and they're spraying these chemicals into the clouds,
3:30
Speaker 1: into the sky and it helps to make rain. And
3:33
Speaker 1: they do this in Dubai. It's like a desert. They
3:35
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of water. So it is a
3:37
Speaker 1: real thing. But I don't know why people try to
3:39
Speaker 1: pretend like it's not and they try to pretend like
3:42
Speaker 1: you can't mess with the weather, because we can. We
3:44
Speaker 1: have the technology. We've been doing it since I think Vietnam.
3:47
Speaker 1: I think that was the first war. So it just
3:50
Speaker 1: I felt it felt nice, like a pet that heard
3:54
Speaker 1: it on all news stations, not just right or left,
3:57
Speaker 1: Like it was all new stations talking about cloud seating.
4:00
Speaker 1: But they were saying nonchalantly, like as if it was
4:02
Speaker 1: a normal thing. I'm like, what last year, you guys
4:04
Speaker 1: were calling us crazy. You know. Yeah, so I had
4:08
Speaker 1: I took pictures this morning off the show them. But yeah,
4:10
Speaker 1: I wish I got Julia saying, Mommy, what's the lines
4:12
Speaker 1: in the sky? You know? But yeah, so this week
4:17
Speaker 1: should be rainy, stormy, and hopefully we don't get any
4:20
Speaker 1: flash floods. Because what's going on in Texas right now
4:23
Speaker 1: is absolutely heartbreaking. Like I'm gonna start crying talking about
4:27
Speaker 1: it because I told Sean, I said, I can't, I
4:30
Speaker 1: can't even watch it anymore. Me and this other mom
4:32
Speaker 1: were talking and as mothers, I was watching these parents
4:35
Speaker 1: just sobbing, like there their children are missing, still many missing.
4:40
Speaker 2: They're found dead holding hands. Yes, three little sisters, three
4:45
Speaker 2: girls were found dead holding hands, holding each other tight.
4:50
Speaker 2: It's heartbreaking, absolutely heartbreaking. And I actually my dad was
4:55
Speaker 2: over in Currville. You spent a few months there, and
4:59
Speaker 2: I went to visit him, and that's where we stayed,
5:03
Speaker 2: was between Hunt, Texas and Cerville, and it's very like
5:07
Speaker 2: a desolate area. There's not much. They call it hill country,
5:12
Speaker 2: and it is like you think we're rural and in
5:16
Speaker 2: the country, like that is in the country.
5:18
Speaker 1: Really.
5:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. I remember asking somebody that my dad was working with,
5:22
Speaker 2: so what is there to do like at night, and
5:25
Speaker 2: the guy was like, you could either go to Walmart
5:28
Speaker 2: or you can go to the movie theater. And I said, well,
5:31
Speaker 2: I'm not a big movie person. He said, or you
5:34
Speaker 2: could drive like an hour to like stan Antonio, and
5:37
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I just want to stay like around here,
5:39
Speaker 2: like what is there to do? And he's like really,
5:41
Speaker 2: he's like Walmart. So we went to Walmart every single
5:47
Speaker 2: day like it was. It was crazy, and I will
5:51
Speaker 2: say it is the cleanest Walmart I've ever seen. And
5:55
Speaker 2: at first I thought like we were gonna get murdered
5:58
Speaker 2: because everybody had gunn something.
6:00
Speaker 1: Well, it's safer, safer because of that.
6:02
Speaker 2: And then I felt safe. My dad explained to me, like,
6:06
Speaker 2: they're not here to shoot the place up there. You
6:08
Speaker 2: know you're allowed to carry.
6:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, it is a little it's always nerve
6:11
Speaker 1: wracking whenever you see a gun. And I'm a big,
6:14
Speaker 1: you know, gun person, we go shooting. My husband's a cop,
6:17
Speaker 1: but yeah, it is always it's nerve wracking, especially from
6:19
Speaker 1: people from New York. To go to a location where
6:22
Speaker 1: you see it out in the open on everyone's hip,
6:24
Speaker 1: You're like, what the heck?
6:26
Speaker 2: Yeah that was me When I first I was like, Mo,
6:28
Speaker 2: that guy's got it gone, Dad, that guy's gotta gone.
6:31
Speaker 2: And my Dad's like yeah, and I'm like, is he
6:35
Speaker 2: going to shoot the place up? And maybe we shouldn't
6:37
Speaker 2: go in there. And my dad's like, no guns are
6:40
Speaker 2: legal here.
6:41
Speaker 1: I love Texas. I've only went once, but like I
6:44
Speaker 1: had the same experience as you as everything was clean,
6:47
Speaker 1: people were very polite, respectful, everyone looked out for each other,
6:51
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We drove out into the
6:53
Speaker 1: country to go horseback riding, like a country part of it,
6:55
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was very desolate. I don't know where
6:57
Speaker 1: we went, but it was very desolate.
7:00
Speaker 2: Might have been Curville maybe like that area.
7:02
Speaker 1: Maybe. Yeah, we went horseback riding through these it was
7:05
Speaker 1: it was really nice. But yeah, like it's a different
7:09
Speaker 1: world out there and I like it. We've actually thought
7:11
Speaker 1: about moving there because it just the people and the
7:14
Speaker 1: just the respect, the cleanliness on most of the places
7:17
Speaker 1: we went to. But to see it now after these
7:21
Speaker 1: floods and the utter, the heartbreak, the destruction, the loss,
7:26
Speaker 1: the and then the parents right now that I was
7:29
Speaker 1: watching this one dad he was ripping through debris around
7:32
Speaker 1: the camp just I think yesterday, just for some remnants
7:35
Speaker 1: of his daughter. He still hasn't found her. I I'm
7:39
Speaker 1: getting really upset talking about it, and like that's I
7:41
Speaker 1: had to stop. I had to stop. As this world
7:44
Speaker 1: there's so much going on that like you need to
7:47
Speaker 1: take a break from it, you know. And I had
7:50
Speaker 1: to kind of shut down because, like I was crying
7:53
Speaker 1: in the morning and it was ruining my day thinking
7:55
Speaker 1: about these children and parents. And it's not that I
7:57
Speaker 1: don't sympathize with them, it's not that I don't want
7:59
Speaker 1: to do something for them, but I emotionally and mentally
8:01
Speaker 1: can't handle it too much, you know what I mean.
8:03
Speaker 1: It gets to be a lot, and I know that
8:05
Speaker 1: they're going through worse than I am. And that sounds selfish.
8:08
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't even imagine sending your child was
8:11
Speaker 2: it all girl?
8:12
Speaker 1: Is it all girls camp camp?
8:14
Speaker 2: So you're sending your daughter to camp, this beautiful, gorgeous
8:18
Speaker 2: camp for the summer, and then like having a storm
8:22
Speaker 2: and calling you and saying your child was missing.
8:25
Speaker 1: Wiped a white gone. You know. I couldn't. I couldn't.
8:29
Speaker 1: That's what's making me so sick as a mother. It
8:31
Speaker 1: just hits you differently, you know. And we want, we
8:35
Speaker 1: definitely want to see what we can do to donate,
8:37
Speaker 1: just like we donated to the North Carolina floods. We
8:40
Speaker 1: donate a lot of food and supply, so we definitely
8:44
Speaker 1: want to do the same thing and see where we
8:45
Speaker 1: can help any way possible, you know, and even just
8:48
Speaker 1: sharing posts about the little girls that are missing or
8:50
Speaker 1: the people that are missing, because there's other people that
8:52
Speaker 1: were effectively just not just the camp but sharing those
8:57
Speaker 1: so God forbid, you know, I don't know there once,
9:02
Speaker 1: you want to give these people hope. You want to
9:03
Speaker 1: give the parents hope, and that's their hope. Those posts
9:06
Speaker 1: are their hope, like hope that they're going to find
9:08
Speaker 1: their child, hope that their child is going to be okay.
9:10
Speaker 2: And whoever would have thought though that that would have happened.
9:17
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well lately that's that seems to be.
9:21
Speaker 1: That seems to be what we're all saying. Who would
9:23
Speaker 1: have thought that would happen North Carolina? Who would have
9:26
Speaker 1: thought that would have happened? That would have should have
9:27
Speaker 1: never happened, never the mountains, in the mountains. No, So
9:32
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be just a very common
9:35
Speaker 1: question then, hopefully not for the foreseeable future.
9:39
Speaker 2: But you know, like, well, you're going to Florida next
9:42
Speaker 2: week or the following week.
9:44
Speaker 1: Next weekend, I'll be in Florida.
9:46
Speaker 2: So hopefully there's no hurricanes for you.
9:48
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I know, I hopefully you know it's July.
9:52
Speaker 1: I'm cotting it close because they usually hit around August.
9:54
Speaker 1: But let's pray because the area I'm going to was
9:58
Speaker 1: completely demolished last year. Those two hurricanes hit this area
10:02
Speaker 1: back to back and wiped it all out, like the
10:05
Speaker 1: roads were gone. They finally built it up, so I'm
10:09
Speaker 1: excited to see what they fixed. I know they're saying
10:12
Speaker 1: some parts of this area it's like Minnesota, Key and Florida.
10:17
Speaker 1: Some parts of this area are still destroyed. But let's
10:21
Speaker 1: hope not right. And speaking of vacation, I did you
10:28
Speaker 1: see my posts I put up, and it was like,
10:30
Speaker 1: our number one rule when we go on vacation is
10:33
Speaker 1: to never eat at a spot we could eat at
10:35
Speaker 1: at home.
10:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I thought that was like a simple, innocent,
10:40
Speaker 1: like funny kind of post, you know, because it's true
10:43
Speaker 1: when me and my husband when we go on vacation,
10:45
Speaker 1: that's our number one rule is we are not eating
10:48
Speaker 1: at any place that we can eat back at home
10:51
Speaker 1: in New York. You know, we want to try all
10:53
Speaker 1: new places. We want to try what's the best restaurant
10:57
Speaker 1: there or something that's fitting of that culture that lives
10:59
Speaker 1: in that area or that country. That's what we want
11:03
Speaker 1: to do. We want to experience everything that we can
11:06
Speaker 1: experience at home.
11:08
Speaker 2: That's our take on it too, is you know, me
11:12
Speaker 2: and my mom, we love cheesecake Factory, we love Cracker Barrel,
11:19
Speaker 2: and when we're traveling, yeah, we'll stop at a cracker Barrel.
11:23
Speaker 2: But once we get to like our destination, we do
11:25
Speaker 2: not go to like Applebee's or tgif we try not to,
11:31
Speaker 2: you know, once in a while you have to, Like
11:33
Speaker 2: the one day we had to go to Dairy Queen.
11:35
Speaker 2: Oh it was terrible, but there was nothing else in
11:39
Speaker 2: that area. It was really weird. But yeah, when you're
11:44
Speaker 2: on vacation, why would you go to a tgif when
11:48
Speaker 2: you have that here? Well, we don't have a here anymore.
11:51
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying.
11:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I go somewhere that you can go to
11:54
Speaker 1: every day of the week at home, exactly. And that's
11:58
Speaker 1: that's just our rule. And it's not like I didn't
12:00
Speaker 1: think it was a serious thing. Like, but a few
12:02
Speaker 1: people messaged me and they were I wouldn't say they
12:05
Speaker 1: were nasty, but they were kind of like, well, will
12:10
Speaker 1: we go on vacation. We don't care where we eat.
12:12
Speaker 1: If we it's whatever we're craving that night. So if
12:15
Speaker 1: we're craving olive garden, we're eating in olive garden. And
12:17
Speaker 1: if we're craving burger king, we're going to burg king.
12:20
Speaker 1: And that's what vacation's about, is just letting loose and
12:23
Speaker 1: doing what you want. And I'm like, okay, I get it,
12:26
Speaker 1: Like all right, that's fine.
12:27
Speaker 2: You know.
12:27
Speaker 1: Another person wrote, like a friend of mine said, number
12:30
Speaker 1: one rule on vacation is there are no rules. There's
12:33
Speaker 1: no rules, so you do what you want. Like she
12:35
Speaker 1: said that, and then another friend was like, well that's
12:38
Speaker 1: kind of put putting yourself into a box on vacation, huh,
12:42
Speaker 1: like making it about rules when you know it shouldn't be.
12:46
Speaker 1: And I was just taken aback by, like wow, this
12:48
Speaker 1: really hit hit some Uh, this really struck some nerves
12:53
Speaker 1: in people, you know, like or hit I don't know,
12:55
Speaker 1: Like I didn't expect that, so to me, like, yes, okay,
12:59
Speaker 1: you're on vacasion, do what you want. But I but
13:03
Speaker 1: why would you want to go to the same restaurant?
13:05
Speaker 1: I don't, I guess, like in your situation Torona there's
13:10
Speaker 1: no choice. Yes, But if I'm in Miami, I want
13:13
Speaker 1: to experience Cuban food, like cute, like it's all Cuban
13:18
Speaker 1: culture over there. I want to experience that. I want
13:21
Speaker 1: to taste that. I want to I want to be
13:23
Speaker 1: immersed in that, you know. And when we go to
13:26
Speaker 1: like Minnesota, Ki, there's a lot of tiki bar and
13:29
Speaker 1: fish spots. I don't like fish, but I want to
13:31
Speaker 1: go to those beach bars where I'm trying their their
13:35
Speaker 1: tropical tacos and all that like that. I want to
13:38
Speaker 1: experience things. When we go to Mexico or the Dominican
13:42
Speaker 1: or Puerto Rico or the Bahamas, I don't want to
13:45
Speaker 1: eat on the resort. Yes we do here and there,
13:47
Speaker 1: but I want to go out into the culture, into
13:50
Speaker 1: the community and eat at a shack on the road
13:53
Speaker 1: that serves us the culture's food, like homemade food. That's
13:58
Speaker 1: why I travel, That's why we travel. What's the point
14:01
Speaker 1: going to another country and eating American food? What's the point?
14:05
Speaker 1: Then just stay in America and go to like, you know,
14:07
Speaker 1: go to a beach in Jersey Shore, you know what
14:09
Speaker 1: I mean. Like, for instance, my mother in law, whenever
14:12
Speaker 1: we travel with her, any state Florida. Usually she wants
14:18
Speaker 1: to go to cheesecake factory. And we have to go
14:20
Speaker 1: to cheesecake factory, and you know, me and my husband
14:24
Speaker 1: are like, we eat at cheesecake factory all the time
14:26
Speaker 1: in New York. And her way of thinking is, yeah,
14:29
Speaker 1: but I know I like it. She's a very picky eater,
14:32
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking that's what the case may be for
14:34
Speaker 1: a lot of people, is they're picky eaters. And like
14:36
Speaker 1: she said, I know I'm going to enjoy a meal
14:39
Speaker 1: at cheesecake factory because I know what I order, and
14:41
Speaker 1: I know what I want, and I know what I
14:43
Speaker 1: you know, usually get so on the trip at least
14:45
Speaker 1: it's one meal that I know I'm going to enjoy.
14:47
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Okay, I mean, but she's picky. So
14:51
Speaker 1: I'm guessing maybe these other people might be picky and
14:53
Speaker 1: that's how they think.
14:54
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, but I'm picky. I mean, I'm probably
14:58
Speaker 2: way more prickier than her. And I want to go
15:02
Speaker 2: to like local restaurants. Like when we went to Florida
15:06
Speaker 2: with my aunt to see my aunt, we went to
15:10
Speaker 2: all local restaurants.
15:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.
15:13
Speaker 2: We did have pizza hut once because I did not
15:17
Speaker 2: want Florida pizza.
15:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can understand.
15:20
Speaker 2: That, but as far as like the rest of the
15:24
Speaker 2: time we had, I don't even well. I think my
15:29
Speaker 2: cousin cooked once or twice for us. But the rest
15:31
Speaker 2: of the time, like we went to local restaurants and
15:35
Speaker 2: we ate and we enjoyed.
15:37
Speaker 1: It, and that's part of vacation, just trying it out.
15:40
Speaker 1: And I actually someone just called me out on it.
15:43
Speaker 1: I'm reading a new message I just got on my
15:45
Speaker 1: post and a friend wrote, not that she called me out,
15:48
Speaker 1: but it made me realize I am guilty of this.
15:50
Speaker 1: A friend wrote. When I went to Spain with my husband,
15:53
Speaker 1: there was a McDonald's there and we really really wanted
15:55
Speaker 1: to try it, but we didn't. And then I was like, oh, shoot,
15:59
Speaker 1: I am guilty of this because when we went to Italy,
16:03
Speaker 1: you know, all the amazing food there. We were driving
16:06
Speaker 1: through the country and we stopped at a rest stop
16:09
Speaker 1: and there was a McDonald's and the rest stop and
16:12
Speaker 1: I was just intrigued by, let me go look at
16:15
Speaker 1: the menu because a McDonald's in Italy, Like, what the hell,
16:18
Speaker 1: you know? And I went to the menu and it
16:20
Speaker 1: was pretty much like eighty percent of it was different
16:22
Speaker 1: than what we eat here.
16:24
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, totally different, really different.
16:26
Speaker 1: So we wanted to try it. It wasn't like our
16:28
Speaker 1: meal of the day. But we're like, let's go get
16:30
Speaker 1: some stuff off that cheap the cheap menu, like the
16:32
Speaker 1: dollar menu, you know, and just try it out. Like
16:35
Speaker 1: there was like chicken palm and we just for ha haas
16:37
Speaker 1: we did it. So I guess I'm kind of guilty there,
16:40
Speaker 1: but it was more curiosity to see how the McDonald's
16:44
Speaker 1: food tasted in Italy, you know, like yeah, new things.
16:46
Speaker 1: So I am a little guilty, but so my friend
16:50
Speaker 1: she just reminded me of that. But yeah, I other
16:54
Speaker 1: than that, no, like sorry, we're we're not going even
16:57
Speaker 1: breakfast spots. A lot of people will go to Denny's
17:00
Speaker 1: or something on vacation, like other than the waffle house.
17:03
Speaker 1: I know people like to do that down the South,
17:05
Speaker 1: down South.
17:05
Speaker 2: We did that once and it was absolutely disgusting.
17:10
Speaker 1: It's very dirty. They're all dirty.
17:11
Speaker 2: I don't know the person that sits you, I don't
17:16
Speaker 2: know what you call them. Yeah, that lady. She was
17:20
Speaker 2: the hostess, the cook, the waitress, and the person that
17:23
Speaker 2: checked us out. She was everything and we sat. I
17:28
Speaker 2: literally was like in the kitchen, like that's where the
17:32
Speaker 2: seats were, so like you could see her cooking, and
17:35
Speaker 2: I was like, oh.
17:36
Speaker 1: She gets a raise. Yeah, it was too Yeah.
17:40
Speaker 2: You never know, I mean it was kind of cool
17:42
Speaker 2: to see your food being made. But yeah, you know,
17:45
Speaker 2: I just I felt like I was sitting in the kitchen.
17:48
Speaker 1: Oh my yeah. So I like that's why I want
17:52
Speaker 1: to know. I didn't expect that much feedback from that simple,
17:55
Speaker 1: innocent post. But what do you guys think our listeners
17:59
Speaker 1: when you go on vacation, is it it's kind of like,
18:02
Speaker 1: let's stick to things that we know, or do you
18:05
Speaker 1: say no, the rule is we're not eating any place
18:08
Speaker 1: that we could eat. We're gonna eat, We're gonna try
18:09
Speaker 1: new things. We're gonna immerse in the culture. We're gonna
18:11
Speaker 1: immerse in this even if it's in Americas, like this
18:14
Speaker 1: State's food. You know that they're known for. What what
18:18
Speaker 1: do you guys do? Or am I just crazy and
18:21
Speaker 1: boxing myself into rules on vacation?
18:25
Speaker 2: But I think you know, also when you think about
18:28
Speaker 2: you post like an innocent post like yours, that's when
18:31
Speaker 2: you get the most feedback.
18:32
Speaker 1: I know, I know, like you know, I'm known to
18:36
Speaker 1: post things that can irritate people. But the things that
18:40
Speaker 1: I don't think are gonna irritate people, It's like, what
18:43
Speaker 1: the heck?
18:44
Speaker 2: I know, I posted something the other day and a
18:48
Speaker 2: lot of people were like messaging me about it, and
18:51
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. It was just it was
18:54
Speaker 2: just a post.
18:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said, sometimes the innocent things like somebody's
18:59
Speaker 1: gonna I've realized that in today's world, everyone takes offense
19:03
Speaker 1: to everything, like every little thing, and it's just it.
19:09
Speaker 1: You gotta take it with a grain of salt. I
19:11
Speaker 1: roll my eyes, I answer back nicely. Okay, all right,
19:14
Speaker 1: you know, do you feel better about yourself now? You
19:16
Speaker 1: feel good? Okay? All right, you get it out, you
19:18
Speaker 1: get it out, all right, you feel good? All right?
19:21
Speaker 1: That's what I say.
19:22
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why people can't just keep scrolling,
19:25
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, we're both in the mom's groups,
19:28
Speaker 2: and why can't people just keep scrolling?
19:31
Speaker 1: They can't. It's just getting worse and worse and worse.
19:34
Speaker 1: And we were talking about it today with a friend.
19:37
Speaker 1: Just people are cruel. People are They're so mean, They're mean.
19:43
Speaker 1: They're like there's some do we all think certain things
19:46
Speaker 1: about somebody? Yes, believe me, I've thought things that maybe
19:50
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be thinking, like oh my god, you know,
19:52
Speaker 1: but I would never ever comment something negative on someone's
19:56
Speaker 1: post that was about them or you know some you know, yeah,
19:59
Speaker 1: you're not he hurting anybody. I have educated people on
20:04
Speaker 1: things that I felt maybe they didn't understand. But I've
20:07
Speaker 1: never been nasty like a lot of these people are.
20:10
Speaker 2: I was looking at one of these posts last night
20:13
Speaker 2: and somebody had posted they got their nails done or something,
20:18
Speaker 2: and no, she wanted to get her hair done and
20:21
Speaker 2: she said, hey, guys, would I look good with this
20:23
Speaker 2: hair color? And some girl just ripped her to pieces
20:29
Speaker 2: and was like, you need a whole makeoverly like you're ugly,
20:34
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And I'm just like sitting here reading
20:36
Speaker 2: these posts, these the comments going back and forth, back
20:39
Speaker 2: and forth, and I'm like, just stop.
20:42
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, does it make them feel good to
20:45
Speaker 1: do that to people?
20:46
Speaker 2: Like?
20:46
Speaker 1: Does it? It must? It must make them feel good.
20:49
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you would want to put down
20:52
Speaker 1: somebody that bad.
20:54
Speaker 2: I don't get it either. I think people say that
20:56
Speaker 2: because they're uncomfortable in their own skin, so they want
20:59
Speaker 2: to make somebody else feel uncomfortable so that they're not alone.
21:04
Speaker 1: Yeah. I one hundred percent agree. That's how human human
21:08
Speaker 1: nature is. And it's pretty ugly. And there's a quote
21:11
Speaker 1: by Mike Tyson that explains it perfectly. Social media made
21:15
Speaker 1: you all too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting
21:19
Speaker 1: punched in the face for it. And ain't that the truth?
21:22
Speaker 1: It is so true because I swear ninety nine percent
21:26
Speaker 1: of this crap you would never say to somebody to
21:28
Speaker 1: their face, the stuff that people comment. You would never
21:31
Speaker 1: say that to someone's face.
21:32
Speaker 2: No. But like we've said in the past, keyboard warriors.
21:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, keyboard warriors, you can hide behind a screen and
21:40
Speaker 1: just feel comfortable doing that. Just like that person who
21:43
Speaker 1: threatened to kill my kids on Instagram? Would he really
21:46
Speaker 1: say that to me in person?
21:47
Speaker 2: You know?
21:47
Speaker 1: Would he come?
21:48
Speaker 2: No?
21:49
Speaker 1: So it's it's created a hustle environment where people are
21:52
Speaker 1: just like spewing hatred and evil and crap out their
21:56
Speaker 1: fingers onto a keyboard, you know, and they don't they
21:59
Speaker 1: don't care, They don't feel like there's any repercussions to that.
22:01
Speaker 1: They don't have to face that person face the face.
22:04
Speaker 1: If they did, they would get punched in the face
22:06
Speaker 1: or they would it would probably end very badly for people.
22:10
Speaker 1: So that's the parts of social media and the Internet
22:13
Speaker 1: that I do not like.
22:14
Speaker 2: So totally off topic here, but I just have to
22:16
Speaker 2: mention that I have aunts in my house.
22:20
Speaker 1: Yes, for how many years it's been Yeah, I know, sorry,
22:25
Speaker 1: it's been never ending.
22:27
Speaker 2: It's every summer they come in and they're usually here
22:31
Speaker 2: about two weeks. Well this year, with all the rain
22:35
Speaker 2: that we've had in the storms and all that, they
22:38
Speaker 2: just haven't gone and found another place to stay. So
22:42
Speaker 2: they've been in my kitchen and in my bathroom. And
22:46
Speaker 2: I've been trying like every spray. I mean I did
22:51
Speaker 2: like the homemade sprays, the sprays from the store, and
22:55
Speaker 2: it traps, you name it. I've done it and nothing
22:58
Speaker 2: is working. It's called combat at two and one, I believe.
23:03
Speaker 2: And we put it out and you actually noticed it
23:06
Speaker 2: that within like an hour, the ants were all like
23:10
Speaker 2: going to it. It was like they were just having
23:13
Speaker 2: a party on this little thing. Yeah, and by the
23:16
Speaker 2: next morning they were gone. I had none.
23:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was crazy. I put it out and I
23:22
Speaker 1: would say it was even less than an hour. It
23:24
Speaker 1: was probably like thirty minutes I put it out there.
23:26
Speaker 1: The ants were all over her, her windowsill, on the floor,
23:30
Speaker 1: under the radiator, and I put one on the windowsill
23:33
Speaker 1: and one on the floor and I watched and there
23:36
Speaker 1: she had old ant bait traps there that from another company.
23:39
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna name the company, but she had those
23:42
Speaker 1: there and you hardly saw any ants ever going near them.
23:45
Speaker 1: Maybe one or two.
23:46
Speaker 2: No, it's like they knew what it was.
23:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so then when I put these out, I
23:51
Speaker 1: put it right next to it. So I didn't have
23:53
Speaker 1: any high hopes because we've tried everything. And like I said,
23:56
Speaker 1: within like thirty minutes, it was just like a field
23:59
Speaker 1: party of ants in this thing. They were they couldn't
24:02
Speaker 1: get to it fast enough, you.
24:03
Speaker 2: Know, I know, it was like one little aunt told everybody, Hey, yeah.
24:07
Speaker 1: Hey, here's the food. We got the good stove over here.
24:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:10
Speaker 1: The floor one, the floor bait trap was full, and
24:13
Speaker 1: the top one. And it just went on and on
24:15
Speaker 1: all day. I kept checking on it, checking on it,
24:17
Speaker 1: taking video and pictures, and I, you know, had to
24:20
Speaker 1: leave and I said, you know, don't touch it, because
24:23
Speaker 1: she was saying should we kill the ant set are there?
24:25
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, they need to take it back.
24:27
Speaker 1: So that's what they do. They eat the bait. It
24:30
Speaker 1: doesn't kill them right away, it goes into them or
24:33
Speaker 1: they carry it all the way back to their little
24:35
Speaker 1: ant hill home. You know, they feed it to the queen.
24:39
Speaker 1: They feed it in there for the babies, and then
24:41
Speaker 1: when the queen eats it, she dies. The babies die.
24:44
Speaker 1: They everyone who eats it dies. So you want that
24:47
Speaker 1: bait to get into the ant hole on their tunnels,
24:50
Speaker 1: you know, like where they live underground or wherever it is.
24:53
Speaker 1: You don't want to kill them when they're eating it.
24:54
Speaker 1: You want them to take it back, you know. You
24:56
Speaker 1: boys in the whole colony. It's kind of sad, but they're.
25:01
Speaker 2: Well, it poisoned every colony that I have, because I
25:04
Speaker 2: have none now.
25:05
Speaker 1: Never have we experienced this with her aunts. So they
25:08
Speaker 1: the next morning, like she said, there was none. There
25:10
Speaker 1: was maybe one or two stragglers that were like they
25:13
Speaker 1: look drunk on the thing, but they were gone, and
25:15
Speaker 1: we it's been over a week now she hasn't had
25:17
Speaker 1: any ants.
25:18
Speaker 2: That's crazy, I know, no, and I'm so excited that
25:22
Speaker 2: I didn't have to call the exterminator. Yeah, because that's
25:26
Speaker 2: just another bill on top of every other bill. So
25:30
Speaker 2: I am glad that a I think it was like
25:33
Speaker 2: six or seven dollars for the thing and it worked.
25:37
Speaker 2: I have a link up on our website. I even
25:40
Speaker 2: posted a review. That's how much I like this thing.
25:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great. I now that's what I'm gonna
25:46
Speaker 1: not that I've had any issues, but if I do, well,
25:49
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna recommend.
25:50
Speaker 2: You know, well, Prime Week is this week and they
25:54
Speaker 2: are on sale, so it's good. Go to our website
25:57
Speaker 2: Shawnaanlala dot com. Click on my combat at review. You
26:02
Speaker 2: could see the video that we made and uh, purchase
26:06
Speaker 2: your own. You don't need it today, but you might
26:09
Speaker 2: need it down the line.
26:11
Speaker 1: How's your literal robot going?
26:13
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it.
26:15
Speaker 1: I love the two. When I got to your house,
26:16
Speaker 1: that was I was kind of shocked. I was shocked
26:18
Speaker 1: at how well it worked.
26:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have one too, Yeah, and my mom has one,
26:23
Speaker 2: and my mom likes mine better than hers.
26:27
Speaker 1: Why.
26:28
Speaker 2: She said that it's easier set up, like the tray
26:32
Speaker 2: is easier to take out and clean mine. It alerts
26:37
Speaker 2: me when the cats use it. When it cleans, it
26:40
Speaker 2: tells me who used it based on their weight. So
26:44
Speaker 2: they have an app and you type in the app
26:47
Speaker 2: each you know the cat's name, cat's weight, and it
26:50
Speaker 2: tells you who used the cat little box one.
26:53
Speaker 1: That's so cool and I love that.
26:55
Speaker 2: Part because the vet is always saying, you know, are
26:58
Speaker 2: they peeing okay? Are they pooping okay?
27:00
Speaker 1: And and I'm like, I don't know, you know, with
27:03
Speaker 1: three cats, who's using the litter box?
27:05
Speaker 2: But yeah you do, but now I do, and I
27:07
Speaker 2: will say so to do the review, I set up
27:10
Speaker 2: a little camera. I set up our Vivent camera in
27:14
Speaker 2: my bathroom facing the cat litter box and Leo he
27:20
Speaker 2: was the only one that used it for like the
27:21
Speaker 2: last three or four days. And every time he would
27:25
Speaker 2: use it, he'd go and like look at the camera
27:28
Speaker 2: and like go up and like stare at it and
27:31
Speaker 2: then use it use the car watch. I was cracking up.
27:37
Speaker 1: It's like they know they do, yeah, And.
27:39
Speaker 2: He doesn't understand that it cleans itself because he still
27:43
Speaker 2: scratches to like cover everything.
27:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's just funny.
27:46
Speaker 2: And then you know he hears it going and he
27:48
Speaker 2: comes back in and you see him looking at it,
27:50
Speaker 2: looking at it, like and he's just watching it because
27:53
Speaker 2: it spins and like the cat litter, you know, it
27:57
Speaker 2: empties and then fills back up. And he was just
28:02
Speaker 2: amazed by it.
28:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like he's like, what's it doing? Like poop?
28:07
Speaker 1: Where's it going? Yeah, it disappears into a little hole.
28:10
Speaker 1: Oh my god. No, it's cool. I have the older version.
28:14
Speaker 1: So that's why I wanted to know how this woman
28:16
Speaker 1: was working for you.
28:17
Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. It is expensive. I did post
28:20
Speaker 2: the review on Facebook and you know, our website and
28:24
Speaker 2: all that, a lot of people want to purchase it.
28:28
Speaker 2: But it is expensive. However, it is worth every single
28:32
Speaker 2: penny because it's not like you need to get a
28:34
Speaker 2: new one every year, you know, for every two years.
28:37
Speaker 2: You don't need to do that, Like my mom doesn't
28:39
Speaker 2: have to replace hers.
28:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it lasts so made to last.
28:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just the upgraded version and it's amazing.
28:47
Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. Leo loves it.
28:50
Speaker 1: And it's easy for you to take care of. Like,
28:52
Speaker 1: you know, Seana has a physical disability and this is
28:55
Speaker 1: something that she can take care of herself. Yeah, I
28:57
Speaker 1: don't eat help scooping and that itself is amazing.
29:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely disability friendly and a lot of my
29:05
Speaker 2: disabled friends, you know, they want it, they just can't
29:09
Speaker 2: afford it, which is sad. But Prime Week is here
29:12
Speaker 2: and you never know, they may have a sale, so
29:16
